0:00This is an iHeart podcast. Guaranteed Human. Every small business owner has that one moment that could have broken them. But remarkably, it didn't. Hi, I'm Ben Walter, CEO of Chase for Business. And on season three of The Unshakeables, my co-host Kathleen Griffith and I are bringing you more incredible stories of overcoming the impossible. We're really proud to share that The Unshakeables is nominated for Best Branded Podcast at the 2026 iHeart Podcast Awards.

In 2022, I was the lead of ABC's The Bachelor. But here's the thing. Bachelor fans hated him. If I could press a button and rewind it all I would. That's when his life took a disturbing turn. A one-night stand would end in a courtroom.

1:00The media is here. This case has gone viral. The dating contract. Agreed to date me. But I'm also suing you. This is unlike anything I've ever seen before. I'm Stephanie Young. Listen to Love Traped on the iHeart Radio app Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Next Monday, our 2026 iHeart Podcast Awards are happening live in South by Southwest.

Watch live next Monday at 8 p.m. Eastern 5 p.m. Pacific free at beeps.com or the beeps app. I'm Nancy Glass. Host of the Burden of Guild Season 2 podcast. This is a story about a horrendous lie that destroyed two families.

2:00Late one night, Bobby Gumpride became the victim of a random crime. The perpetrator was sentenced to 99 years until a confession changed everything. I was a monster. Listen to Burden of Guild Season 2 on the iHeart Radio app. Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Lights, camera, action. It's our number one hour number one of the Ben Mallor Show podcast. As we were up all night doing this live radio show, we repackaged it with limited commercial interruption, which is neither here nor there. But it's the podcast and it's our number one. Remember, you can listen however you want. You can cannibalize the podcast and listen to only one hour. Maybe you listen to odd hours, not even hours. Just a version you can listen to of this. But if you're in for the full ride in our number one, we got a big trade in the NFL. It's being called the blockbuster.

3:00Does the Chiefs dealing away Trent McDuffy to the Rams count as a blockbuster trade? Also, where does the new Ram pickup Trent McDuffy rank among the elite NFL defensive backs? And off the Ram Chiefs trade, what about Aaron Rodgers? Do you feel bad for the former Packers quarterback and current free agent quarterback Aaron Rodgers that he's getting swarmed in Malibu by the Papa Rodso and there's a mad scramble to find his girlfriend, whoever that is, or I guess they're apparently wife and husband, supposedly, who knows. We'll talk about all that and more right now. Here it is, settle in for our number one. Thank you. Well, the arrow says bye-bye.

4:00Welcome in the beginning of another night of the Bay Mallorca. We are in the air and the re-wares. We pop over for a visit. Enjoy the rhythm of the audio race. Coast to coast, border to border and beyond on the vast and prodigiously powerful microphones of FSR emanating life. Good life from the pull as we pull an all-nighter every night from the world famous Fox Sports Radio Studios as approved by Ozzy Waz. I heard a rumor, and I don't know if this is true or not, but apparently Ozzy Waz, who lives out in the outback there in Australia, thus the name Ozzy Waz, where the only thing around is kangaroos, apparently he got into a big dust up with his boss and there's some issues there.

5:00So I don't know what's going on with that. And Donkey Sush, they remind us this hour made possible by Tyraq for over 40 years Tyraq has been helping customers out the A.I. opinionator, whatever you the Alien O'Pyder. Also Fergdog and Malaprop guy. Find the right tires for how what and where they drive. Ship fast and free back by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation. Very important. Mr. Nyska likes that. Entirac.com. The way Tyraq buying should be. Back at it and reminder, coming up later on we're just getting started here. Starting up the old engine here and we got a long journey into the early morning hours. But if you stay with us all night here on the overnight you are going to get marginal overnight talk radio. I guarantee later this hour we have the

6:00who M.I. game. Next hour will be the Insta Trevi also mallard of the third degree day later on ask Ben and way way down the road it'll be fact or fiction. But we begin with this our lead story from Kansas City the holy land of the chicken finger the whole people say it's a barbecue town. No, no, it's a chicken figure town. The chiefs have decided we're going to make a move. We're going to make them. We're going to retool our roster now. Are we going to get rid of something? Well they've decided you know what let's get let's declutter. We're going to declutter. That's what Andy Reed saying. So the chiefs have said bye-bye to a key player. Now if you didn't see this and maybe not we have learned that the Kansas City Chiefs have agreed to a deal with L.A. Rams and they are sending all pro

7:00defensive back Trent McDuffy to L.A. for not one not two not three. However, four draft picks including the 29th overall pick the one of the Rams first round picks they're back to one. They're back to one. The chiefs will also receive a gift bag including a fifth and a sixth round pick and then in this year's draft third round pick there will be a quiz on this later so please take notes. That is a good jumping off point let us discuss the question does this chiefs Trent McDuffy trade to the Rams count as a blockbuster trade I saw that blockbuster trade we does the Trent McDuffy trade by Kansas City to L.A. count as that. So I've got emoji filled text messages Crayolas and Aquarium

8:00and we'll put all of these things together and we are going to make a turducken with some to ziki sauce that's the plan. All right so A to answer the question why don't we just pump the breaks pump the breaks on blockbuster trade conversation this is a blockbuster like blockbuster video in 2026 you know what I'm saying it's a solid football trade chips for the Rams a good player the chief's lost a good player. It's a nice addition for L.A. It doesn't rise to the level of high crimes and misdemeanors for Kansas City It's not not a great day for the chiefs McDuffy's pretty talented player and you gave that up and that's exactly what the Rams wanted. You helped the Rams out. The Rams, in the Super Bowl and they would have wanted, no, whoever played the Patriots is gonna win. So the Rams get a physical, smart defensive back

9:03and that's exactly what the doctor ordered. So we'd like to move for LA and yet again, the general manager less need. Once again, running the FM picks, Ben Malor chicken finger platter at the landing. They're in Liberty, Missouri. That's where FM picks. Get me some more chicken finger. Can I get some extra dipping sauce? Sure, we'll get you some extra dipping sauce. How the finger, they're good. The fingers are good. How about the fries, you like the fries you go to? Yeah, right there, all there at the landing. We had the last Kansas City Malor meet and greet, a couple of years back, but less need. Clearly was not a smitten kitten. He looked at all the quarterbacks. They went to the combine and the Rams looked around and they saw who was available, who was likely going to be available with that pick. And so he said, all right, let's need the Rams GM. I mean, the cartoon bubble in my head, he fired off a few emoji filled text messages is over to Arrowhead. And then when he did that, he went over there

10:03on the way they completed the trade. They did the docu sign, but he picked up a ready-made brisket, Trent McDuffie. So the Malor progress report, the Malor progress report, the Rams get an A minus, an A minus, because they really only gave up a fifth round pick. Because they already have two first, but now they have one. They traded the lower first round pick and they traded a fifth, a sixth, and a seventh. Nobody cares about a sixth and a seventh round pick. Those are worthless. So you gave up one pick to get an all pro. McDuffie is a war daddy defensive back. The kind that you plug and play, and they're going to give him an extension, which of course in California won't be that big because of the taxes, but then they'll move on. But in Kansas City, on their report card, the progress report card, they get a C. That's it. It's a headscratcher. Considering how we always hear it's very difficult to find elite defensive backs in the NFL. So many people complain about that

11:04and they say, ah, I can't do it. It's hard to find them. And when you get one, you'd like to think you're not just going to send them out of town like some leftover burnt ends from some barbecue place, but my homes, that would be Patrick, or Patty, or Pat, whatever you call them. But my homes sent out a post on social media and he used the word damn. What a burger. He used the word damn. That tells you everything. Now, I kind of grasp when I was walking to the studio, I was like, I kind of get what Kansas City was trying to do. They wanted to reallocate resources here. They didn't want to pay him. You don't want to pay the man. So you're not going to pay the man. They want to spend the money. And they wanted to spread that around on some other players. And they wanted those digital discounts. And so they grabbed some keynote cards from the Rams. And they'll get younger players. They'll draft some defensive back. It's cost certainly. And they picked up the mystery box of those late round drafts. Now, meanwhile, keeping the drum beat going. Now, we gave you the report card.

12:05The Rams get an A minus and the team from Kansas City gets a C. They're keeping that theme going. The question here is, where does the new Ram pickup Trent McDuffie rank among the NFL's elite defensive backs? He's what the Rams needed. But where is he in the hierarchy of NFL defensive backs? So after a minutes long deliberation, which included several YouTube videos, and a deep dive with the nerds, with the nerds, at the stats and all that, McDuffie, this is not Revis Island. This is not Dion Sanders in the mid 90s prime time. Those guys have beachfront property in Canton, Ohio, if there was a beach there. But McDuffie, he's still writing the book. He's still writing the book. And he's built a pretty good foundation, pretty good foundation. He's on the fast track here. Battle tested, postseason games, back-to-back super bowls,

13:11got it done in those games, and the pressure cooker. So it's not like he's been playing for the Raiders, or some suck team like the Browns, where they don't ever play in big games. This last year was a stinker for Kansas City, but we know before that, they were really, really good. So he's gotten it done under the bright lights, and that's good. So the quarterbacks who played against him, based on what I was seeing him, they treated the McDuffie side of the field like a construction zone, like hearing on the 405, or 101 in LA, got the construction zone, slow down for the cone zone, detour, detour, detour, and you try to find a new route or route. Now good things do come in small packages occasionally. And McDuffie would appear to be proof on that. He's not the tallest. He's not the biggest. He's not the strongest defensive back. He has been the chef's kiss making up for it with good footwork and all that stuff

14:14and provided airtight coverage. How tight, so tight, he's basically become a brand ambassador for Crayola. That Crayola pens, whether the races half the field, most of the time, where they don't often throw to where he's at. Right now, on Benny's big board, not a list for Terry and England, Benny's big board, McDuffie's in the top five, top 10 conversations. He's in that neighborhood, it's good neighborhood, safe neighborhood, low crime, and good shopping, and the solid weather. So I looked at the Madden game, which is very important. Madden, the Madden people have him at a 94, Trent McDuffie, a 94 rating on Madden, which, as I understand it, is the video game version of a Michelin star. So there's not a lot of debate on that. And now the Rams know exactly what they have to do. Well, you got the man, you got to pay the man,

15:16and that's why they are expected to give him a massive, massive contract and the whispers that we're hearing here, is that McDuffie will become the highest paid defensive back in the NFL. And right now, it's sauce gardener of the Colts on average annual value, McDuffie. If this goes the way it's headed, he's going to get paid more than that. The cherry on top for him. So Cal guy played at a couple of high schools in Southern California, these high school kids get paid money to go from school to school. So he got to check from one school and went to another school and all that. But the Rams, I know this is upsetting for Mark the full name guy and no Stradinus and the other trolls out there, but the Rams just leveled up. The Seahawks are getting worse. The Rams are getting better. So instead of being given the two point conversion that Seattle got from the NFL, the Aronis two point conversion, how about you get a free touchdown this? You're going to need more than just two points to beat the Rams upcoming.

16:17Because you got people leaving, fleeing, running out of Seattle with the last person that leaves Seattle, leave the lights off and turn the lights off. And then you got the Rams. You just suppose what the Rams are doing. All right, now last word. To Mr. Rogers neighborhood we go. We're going to take the trolley. To Mr. Rogers neighborhood. So Aaron Rogers, apparently he's fed up. He is fed up with your fascination and my fascination about his marriage. So he was playing grab ass with high paid podcaster Pat McAfee on the YouTube show. And Rogers had a lot to say. We're not going to go through the whole thing here. But Rogers said that the obsession, meaning the obsession with his wife is effing bizarre. He said he also claimed that there are quote, legitimate stalkers who have followed him closely at his home at the gym in Malibu. And I guess we have a little bit.

17:18Let's play a little clip here. This is a little taste just to prove I'm not lying. Here's Aaron Rogers on his buddy playing some grab ass with Pat McAfee. Now I'm out of it. I don't want to be back in it. I don't want to be a part of that. I understand, you know, when I play, if I play, that there's scrutiny, there's attention that comes with it. But I'm fully content on living a private life. But you have people out there that say about me and create these narratives and talk about my wife and talk about this and that and search for a wedding certificate and all this different, like, we're not living a public life. We're not going to now, not in the future, not ever. When this is done, it's Kaiser Soce. And you won't see me. You won't see me. I'm not doing TV. OK, not doing TV. So Rogers has a couple of houses, but he's talking about the home in Malibu in here in LA. And as you heard, there, Rogers, he mentioned his wife. Is anyone, if Rogers goes away, my life's not going to change too much.

18:18I'll just talk about other people. It doesn't really matter. He makes it seem like this is going to be a great loss for humanity that Rogers is going to go away. I mean, dude, go away. We don't know if you'll find. Whether you're there or not, the beat goes on. We were doing this before you got to the NFL. And we'll do it after. So it's not not any big deal. The story, though, is the wife. That's obviously the story. The identity remains unknown. And as he said there, I want privacy. All right, question. What a sob story. Do you feel bad? Do you feel bad for Aaron Rogers getting swarmed by the locus of the paparazzi? Do you feel bad? So we don't. I wish we did. I just don't. And guess what? I have an alternative. I think Rogers actually loves this stuff. He loves it. There's no other reason that you're in this situation, right? This man announced that he is secretly married.

19:22And then he treats, if there is a wife, he treats the wife like she's the nuclear launch codes. She's the nooks. And it tells everyone, hey, I'm Mary, but you can't know a name really. Let's give you first name and know nothing other than that. No photo. Of course, what do you think the paparazzi are going to do? They're going to circle. You put mystery in the air everywhere. That's catnip for the tabloids. It's hide and seek. And this Michigan, a Rogers has made about $400 million. That's just on the field. That doesn't include the discount double check. And he lives in Malibu. Now, I don't know if you're familiar with Malibu. It is essentially a celebrity aquarium is what it is. Now, a lot of it burned down, unfortunately, because the mayor was off on vacation and the whole thing

20:23burned, and they didn't have enough water, because there's a bunch of incompetent people in LA. But there's still a lot of Malibu left. And that's where the very wealthy, the very successful people in entertainment, they all have homes there. And it's a celebrity aquarium, where the paparazzi are the sharks, and they're out, they're hunting around. And it's the greatest marketing campaign in paparazzi history. And you know, somewhere, there's some people over TMZ, the Daily Mail, Page Six, the Photogs, who are rubbing their hands together like cartoon villains. The chase is on, right? They're just rubbing their hands. The chase is on. This has become mythological. Is she real? Is this some kind of AI chatbot? And to my knowledge, I might be wrong on this, but I am married. And when you get married, you have to file, for it to be a legal marriage. You have to file it with somebody at a state, right? If you're married in America, I believe that to be the case. So I don't think you can hide that information.

21:24It's on the public record. Is she possibly Sasquatch? Could Rogers have married Bigfoot or a lizard person? I don't know. Whoever gets that first video, the first photos, whenever paparazzi gets that, they're buying a new Bentley. They're getting a new Bentley. And look, you want privacy and all this stuff. I have a solution. I have the mowler plan. My advice, Darren Rogers, is to find a tiny wooden cabin out there in the forest. Go to the woods. I hear a town called Lincoln, Montana, off the grid. It really worked out well for the Unibomber for a while there. And you can live that lifestyle. Get off the grid. And no Wi-Fi, no electricity. And you can poop in some dirt and wipe your tukas with leaves and you'll be good to go. Otherwise, you're a celebrity, dude. You made a deal with the devil.

22:26And you take the good. That's the money, money, money, the attention. And then you cannot act shocked, although you apparently are that the cameras show up. That's the deal. Everyone knows the deal. Everyone knows the deal. That's it. It is the Ben Mowler show. And if you'd like to be part of this deal, you can join us right now. You do not have to. We have plenty of things to talk about. But if you're interested in that being part of the show, this is an opportunity to have your voice heard. And how do you do that? You call in at 877-99 on Fox. That's 877-9966369. Also on X add Ben Mowler. That's at Ben Mowler, if you'd like to be part of the program. Well, it's an offer so good. You cannot refuse it. And since Aaron Rogers had me thinking about the paparazzi, I looked at some of the latest tabloid sports news. And there's a new celebrity sports couple. I don't know how big this one is.

23:28We'll take a look at that. But the offer so good, you can't refuse it. We'll get to that as well. We'll take your calls. And comments on X add Ben Mowler all of it.

Unfortunately, it didn't go according to plan. He became the first Bachelor to ever have his final rose rejected. The internet turned on him. If I could press a button and rewind it all I would. But what happened to Clayton after the show made even bigger headlines. It began as a one night stand and ended in a courtroom with Clayton at the center of a very strange paternity scandal. The media is here, this case has gone viral. The dating contract. Agreed to date me, but I'm also suing you. Please search for it. This is unlike anything I've ever seen before.

Yeah, I'm doing live all talk and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

27:40I was approached by a colleague the other day and they said, why don't you just tape some of the show? I say, I don't, I like to do the new shows. Hey, but some guys, who would even, what? Right? Yeah, there used to be a guy that worked with you that we did a four hour show. He'd one hour and just replayed all, you know, I could kill, I can't, I can't do that though. The problem is you, all you idiots would rat me out, man. You know, you, you're all snitches. If I didn't do new hours every hour, I could kill. In the meantime, eight, seven, seven, ninety nine on Fox, eight, seven, seven, nine, nine, six, six, six, six, nine, you have a seat at the table on X. You can lay on the table, I don't care. Management's not around. And that's at Ben Mallory, you can say hello to Lorina. FSR Tech Queen. By the way, racer X says hello. I don't know who that is, but great racer X. And hi. Yeah, he says, hello, Lorina and Cooper Lube at all Bronco fan. That's all Bronco fan.

28:41Your comments can and will be used against you back to it. All right, back to we go. Late night drug tester writes in. And he says the chiefs thinking they're going to draft the next shutdown corner back is risky. They need to listen to retired Dick Stockton. Past results tell you what has happened, not what's going to happen. Yes, my professor Dick, the great Dick Stockton, one of the all-time great lines. And I was doing the show with Looney. We back when we had a very popular show here on Fox Sports Radio on the Sunday, NFL wrap-around show, which we kicked ass for like eight years on that show. It was a great time. And we interviewed the NFL on Fox broadcasters and some players and all that did come on. They were forced to talk to us. And Dick Stockton came on before he was doing the 49s were terrible this year and that year and the Buccaneers were terrible. It was a horrible matchup, right? It was late in the season. But it was on Fox. And so we had to promote it. There's no reason to watch it unless you're friends and family.

29:42So if I remember asking, I said, Dick Stockton. Why should anyone watch this game, Dick? Thinking he's, oh, there's no reason to watch Ben. But of course, he said, that's tell you what has happened. That what's going to happen. That line has been repeated all these years. Many, many, many years. It's been repeated. So I'm glad that it resonated. It resonated with late night drug tests. There Andy and Lionel Lake's Minnesota says, A-plus on the Mal or Monologue Men, two points. I love the F-them picks approach. And with Aaron Rogers, I think there's a RuPaul situation going on. Hello. That's all I got to say about that. Wait, wait, wait. Well, the most famous drag queen of all time, RuPaul. Yes, but he's saying that his wife might be a drag queen. I don't know what he said. I mean, that's anybody can say anything you want. I like this idea. It is also interesting to note, as Vince Goli used to say, we have not heard from Falexis. America's favorite drag queen caller in a while. Is it possible that Falexis is not calling anymore?

30:46Because Falexis is married to Aaron Rogers. And then there's a gag order on Falexis cannot call the show from Buffalo. I think we're on to something. We'll have to investigate that further. JJ from Renton, Washington writes and says, you must be going insane, Mallor, about my little Seattle Seahawks beating you in that game. Your GM is not that great. And the Seahawks GM should have three super bowls. Well, your ass has won if it wasn't for that bum Wilson and the Seenow Coach Carol. So a bad take by you. That's JJ in Renton. He is currently wearing a Seattle Seahawks onesie. As he sent that and he's eating some dino nuggets. Calm down, JJ. It's going to be OK. I love you, JJ. Big, big fan, big fan of JJ. Let's see what else do we have. King Rory writes and says, he's in Wisconsin.

31:46I'm sure when Aaron Rogers finally decides to hang it up and call it quits, he'll find himself a little cave on the side of a mountain where he can live out the rest of his life with his wife in quotes as hermits. So so he said, you know, my experience, most of the people that say, I don't want to do TV. I don't like the media end up in the media. They do. Just all the way, I laughed when I was at the Super Bowl in San Francisco, I was walking around. And they had a set up for Shannon Sharp. And I guess it's Ocho Sinko. They do some podcast thing. Snow. I remember interviewing Shannon Sharp when he was playing for the Broncos. And he hated doing the interview. He hated the media. He didn't want anything to do. He said he didn't watch football. And he's had this long career in the media. And that's just one example. There's plenty of other examples. Gunner from a Walmart in Northern Minnesota right since his Aaron Rogers is the LeBron James of the NFL.

32:47He wants all the attention and everyone wants him to go away. I don't want him to go away. He's good for my job. I don't want to see him go away. Terry and England says, definitely not a list, man. Definitely not a list. And he says, I've got a new nickname for you. Muck Raker Mallor. The list guy. Interesting. What's a muck raker? You don't know what a muck raker is? That's an old word muck raker. It basically means the definition of muck raker is like a poopster. I believe. I believe you're just doing up trouble. Right? Oh, OK. Oh, OK. Right, I think I'm correct on that. Someone, it's like a reporter's gossip guy looking around for the dirt. But that's always where the interesting stuff is. Tabloid sell a lot more than just regular back when they had newspapers and newspapers are dead now. But when they had newspapers, tabloids sold more than the regular newspaper. So RPS writes in says Rodgers said she lives over the pond.

33:50She doesn't even live in the US or spends most time outside the US. OK, well, that's good for her if she's real. Yeah, what else do you have? See, page down. I can't read that. All right, let's take some calls. It is a calling show 877-99 on Fox is the number 877-9966369. And any meany, mindy mo. Let's say hello to let's start out with some positivity. Let's go to Jola. Jola is in Dallas. What's going on, Jola? Welcome. Hey, man, what's going on? Yeah, I'm doing good. Look at this. Hey, man, I love this. Hey, when I can talk to y'all, you already know it's a good diet. It's a good even over here in Dallas. Then, hey, look right here. Hey, Lorena, up to six layers. You got to do your research. But at the greatest, without him, we wouldn't even be eating this much great food. I'm just telling you, it'd be probably worse than it is right now. But let me off the history.

34:52Yeah, no, hey, listen, if you allow people to just not get checked what they're doing, they'll rip it off. They'll poison you. So there are a bunch of scumbags out there that will take advantage of you. I'm telling you, but now people want to use their camera as the operating instead of putting it on paper, like you said. You got to put it on paper before you pull out the camera. But that's neither here nor there. Use the real research and background information. But no, let's work our way backwards. Let's start with this guy here, Roger. I mean, narcissism is this guy's middle name. I mean, how can you go from there? I want to be Alex Trebek and host Jeopardy or whatever. Let's talk show this is to be like, oh, man, I'm going to go whenever I retire and all this other stuff. This guy just always looks for a controversy and for him to have the light on him a lot. And it's really crazy. It's like, I get it, man, but being a narcissist like that is very troubling. And then, hey, let's move on. And that's why his career has been kind of like this. This guy, even when you start talking about his family, that's how you know he's a narcissism.

35:53He's using his buddy as a therapist type of deal. Now, let's go to the Kansas City team. I mean, this move is probably, they've been doing this since the tire retail deal. And I agree with it. Trebek Duffy is an undersized corner bag. He's a physical corner bag. Well, look at the guy with a spoon. I mean, they're the same bill, but this guy with a spoon is moving probably what? You know, two times faster than McDuffer. The McDuffer is a good player, but, you know, he just a little washed. And let's think about this. He just wants to be like, well, you said he's a smaller washed, which one did you say? I think he's a smaller than the one that's soon, God. But he's about washing the kid back. You know, you know, you know, Joel, that's a great one. I don't care how big someone is. I want to hear how I want to see how big they play. There's, you know, this one thing is annoys me about like the combine. People, I like the people have turned on the combine, but it's all about drafting the biggest, fastest, strongest players in the combine, right? That's a good thing. But that's, I mean, those guys can play. And they've been putting the guys that are built like a donnance.

36:53They don't play like that, though. And sometimes the smaller guys play better. They'll shatter. They'll shatter like that. It's really crazy. You put a stiff arm in their chest, and they'll just break and crazy. But I like it, but they got it. He's taking the how they roseman. He's trying to get younger corners, get the old guys out of here that, what's the name that I got they sent to Detroit? And he couldn't even play. They brought him back. He was bringing out his girlfriend, and they were in the playoffs. Um, well, what's his brother? Yeah. No, right. What's his brother's name? Light King corner slay. Various slays. They did the same thing. Got him out of there. Dr. Cooper DeGene and got their due from Toledo, Mitchell, who's one of the better corners. That's what the Kansas City is trying to do, and I get it. And after they did, they showed that when they got off the, the, the, the Sneed dues. The Sneed was better than, um, McDuffy, but they said, man, you get into old. Get him out of here. And it paid off. And now they're like, yeah, let's get McDuffy out of here. But I don't think it'll work. I just think that they'll just have to, you know, get better pass rusher. That's the only way to get, you know, starting to start over, start at the front end, start on the old line, get, uh, get nobody to touch my home and come to throw the football

37:56away. So you don't get tackled. And he got to get a pass rusher to help for office after, um, Jones Leap, because both of you know, then tranquil, two old, but now, all right, you know, I'm up to the bomb, man. Hey, I know. That's a beautiful two. I'm going out to Malibu again. I love it out there. All right. Well, you go and then the paparazzi is going to take photos of you, so don't be upset. They're going to follow you around because you're a celebrity callers, so they're going to take pictures of you, Joe. So be careful. I got to go bad. They're great shoulder there. Uh, checking in. Let's check in. Now, let's go to Tom. And is this the same guy from yesterday? Hell, Tom, what's going on? Tom deep in the heart of Texas. Welcome. Tom. Thank you. Yeah.
