The cardinals is this valid or invalid. Also, what is the forecast for Kyler now that he has been

3:00ex-communicated from the Valley of the Sun by his request? And which direction? We're going to see out of which direction.

So our lead this hour we go to Arizona.

5:02Now back in the day, while I was doing some work here at Fox Sports Radio. For a number of years I ran a sports gossip website. That was my, that was my thing. I was fudging around with that. Did that for a number of years. Had some success with that. Got some some critical acclaim. Whatever that's worth. Obviously nothing. Because I'm not doing it anymore. Although I can't buy my website back for like $10,000 or whatever it is. But anyway. Yeah. But back in the day when I, when I did that job, we had a mantra in the newsroom that when, when I was putting that together aggregating, a rumor is just a fact that has yet to be discovered. And today's rumors are tomorrow's news. Well, that's been proven correct again. If you have not heard by now, a story that we talked about as a rumor over the last couple of weeks has turned out to be reality. The cardinals have said bye-bye. And they have informed a Kyler Murray that he will be fired. That he's done.

6:02And he's out. And he is going to be able to go to another NFL team when the newly year begins a week from today his reign of terror in the desert will come to an end. And they will drive him to Sky Harbor Airport there in the Valley of the Sun and say, get out of here. Now Murray posted a Sappy Goodbye note to the fans in the Valley of the Sun there on social media. It was 99 words. The 99 words. And now some fans ran to defend Kyler Murray, upset that he used one word in particular. Now there were three paragraphs but 99 words, three paragraphs and there was one word in particular that upset people. He used the word failed. And that was the money quote. He said, I wanted nothing more than to be the one to end the 77 years drought for this organization. I am sorry. He said, I failed us.

7:02Close quote. So that is a good jumping off point. And let's discuss the question. Kyler Murray says that he quote failed. The Arizona Cardinals and a number of jocks nippers running to defend Kyler Murray is that valid or invalid that he used the word failed. Kyler Murray. So I've got pyromaniac, memory foam, and KFC. And we will combine all of these things together. And we are going to play connect three. Is what we're going to play. So number one. Number one. So we ran this through the very technical, very technical Malor lie detector. The Malor lie detector. And we determined there were no lies detected. No lies detected. None. Zippo.

8:02Zippo. The guy Kyler Murray was the number one overall. Number one. Of the 2019 Collegiateraft. Now when you are the top pick, is it fair or unfair to expect that you're getting the team that's drafting the players getting a quarterback who's a Hollywood star? Is that fair or unfair? I believe it's fair. I believe it's fair. And I'm the one with microphones. So I'm going to go first. You can call in later if you want. I believe that's fair. Now did the Cardinals get a Hollywood level quarterback? No. Under any measurement. They did not get a Hollywood level quarterback. What they got was a Bollywood quarterback. That's what they're not Hollywood. Bollywood. Kyler Murray. Saying that he failed. That's even an understatement. It's like a pyromaniac arsonist. Showing up to the to the fire. And gone boy.

9:02Somebody really burned this place down. I wonder what that was all about. Yeah. Franchise quarterback. Supposed to elevate. Everyone. And he didn't do it. That was not going to be easy for Kyler Murray. Finishes a 10 games under 500. 10 games under 500. Not exactly a franchise savior. And he wouldn't even a 500 quarterback. And the playoff resume. And if you had been drafted, whoever you might be. If you had been drafted with the top pick of the 2019 NFL draft, you would have the same number today as Kyler Murray of playoff win. He didn't win a single playoff game. Squadouche. In terms of playoff wins. None. And you know, he. I don't want to kill him. And I am going to be Benny Brightside. He said, well, you can't be Benny Brightside. You've been ripping Kyler.

10:03I was right. And I'm sure the Arizona Republic will write a retraction in apology to me. Do they still even have that newspaper? I don't think all newspapers are out of business at this point. We should pay more attention to that overnight guy on Fox. He called this in 2019. Seven years ago, he called this anyway. I knew right away. And the moment I knew, well, first of all, looking at Kyler Murray, it looks like a glitch in a video game. Not a good one. Not a good one. But I think it was actually on Fox Sports Radio. I think it was before the draft. Kyler Murray was interviewed. I think he was on the Dan Patrick show. And he was waiting for his dad to answer. He didn't know what to say. And his dad was like there. And his parent was along and answering the question. I said, oh my god, this is terrible. And that was a sign of coming attractions. Is what it was. So no playoff wins. He did lead the league in one category. So I will pump the tires on Kyler. Congratulations. Seven years as an NFL starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals. And he led the NFL in sacks taken.

11:04So. Impressive. There you go. And that. And I don't know that we'll see another quarterback that has a more impressive signature moment. Playing quarterback in the NFL in Kyler Murray. Who famously. And it's one of the all-time great moments of my career. And it was a long time. The study clause. The homework clause in Kyler Murray's contract. Where he literally. Literally had to have it in writing. The team had to they felt it was so important. It's such a loser. And he was so lazy that they had to put it in the contract. Where he was contractually obligated to, you know, do his job and to like watch tape and study for the opponent and all that stuff. And some of you were upset. Well, you know, these people said, oh, you didn't fail. He did fail. That's obvious. But did the good news is for Kyler. Is that while he flopped playing football in Arizona. With the joystick, he was one of the great gamers in the state of Arizona.

12:06Top 10 gamer when it comes to Call of Duty. First ballot, Hall of Famer, video game, Hall of Fame. Now, I know they give you a gold jacket when you go to the pro football Hall of Fame. What do you get when you go to the gamer Hall of Fame? Like, is it a golden joystick? Is there something like a cartridge? Is there, I don't know what it is. All right, now pace you. So keeping the drum beat going and going and going and going. So what is the forecast? You pull out the Doppler 2000 radar. What is the forecast for Kyler Murray, who has now been excommunicated from the Cardinals? So what's next on the forecast? So the forecast, if you look right now, the forecast is the, he's getting the day spa send off. It's a nice spa day for Kyler. Go to the spa. Have a good time. I'll teach you if you will. A world where you are fired from your job. Your tossed overboard.

13:07And you land in a velvet lifeboat. That's Kyler Murray. Remember, sports is not reality. Like, reality is, and what I mean by that is it's a different cartoon you should. It's a different world. Like, not only when somebody loses their job, you're like, oh man, I'm bummed out. That sucks for that guy. He's going to have to go unemployment. What are you going to do? You got to go over to the express employment website and all that. So that's normal. But in sports, the Cardinals will be paying the little munchkin, 36.7 million to not play quarterback. Do you understand how much of a absolute loser, a Jack Wagon, one has to be for a team to give you that kind of severance package. That you're so useless, Kyler Murray, that the Cardinals would rather pay almost 37 million to not have you

14:10that you're that much of a bad influence in the locker room. And you're that pathetic on the field. It's wild. That is a severance package wrapped in a memory foam mattress. That is what that is. And the Cardinals didn't just throw him off the ship. They tossed him overboard. They gave him a charcuterie board in that boat. And they gave him a spa, you know, the robe from the spa. And just everything. I mean, this gave him everything. And the crazy part is that now he wasn't good. And we documented that. And now there are teams that are like, wow, this is great. I saw some NFL punits that Kyler Murray is clearly the top quarterback available. Really, what is the measurement on that? How are you measuring the Kyler Murray, who doesn't even like football, is not good at football, is the top guy available, clearly.

15:10Really? What kind of fentanyl are you on, sir, if you think that seriously? Like, what are we doing? But there you guys are. Well, Kyler Murray is always out as one man's trash, as another man's fantasy reclamation project. But to say that he's clearly better than the other quarterbacks. I don't buy that. I don't know, anyone with an IQ above 20 could buy that. The Vikings, again, every quarterbacks being connected to the Vikings. Daniel Jones, Kyler Murray. Seven quarterbacks on the field. Yeah, that's it. Just go with four. No, no, you have three offensive linemen. You're going to have seven quarterbacks, one wide receiver. Now you might go with five quarterbacks, and then four offensive linemen, the rest would be pass catchers. I mean, there's different ways you can do it. But my God. So the jets, now that would be perfect. You imagine Kyler Murray with the jets, the Raiders. They're going to have Fernando Mendoza, supposedly,

16:12if they keep the first pick in the draft, and they need a bridge quarterback. Of course, Kyler would be a very small bridge, but that's fine. And the island of misfit quarterbacks right there. And even this scares me a little bit. The Rams have been mentioned, but only because the Rams hired Cliff Kingsbury as a Sean McVey loyalist. So Cliff Kingsbury, there's a connection. It's not what you know, it's who you know. And so Cliff Kingsbury is with the Rams coaching staff. Unless he gets a better job, and then leaves. So Cliff Kingsbury is hanging out there. And then Kyler Murray could come in there, be the backup for a year. And it's kind of, yeah, listen, why not. Go play for the minimum somewhere. Go to the Rams, have the Rams leak good stories about how great you look in practice, and what a great locker room guy you are. The typical bull crap that goes out in the media. Play for the minimum. And Arizona, remember, they're picking up the tab like that rich uncle that's got a lot of cash and likes to throw it around to show everyone

17:12the family how rich he is. And does he want to... Does Kyler Murray actually want to play for a bad team? Or is he willing to go be a backup on the Rams, take a sabbatical, and make all that money, and just play video games, and that's it. Alright, meanwhile, final point. And you, sir, have just won the Super Bowl MVP. What are you going to do now? I'm going to go find a job somewhere else because this team doesn't want me in a clear act of malfeasance. And I know somewhere in the great Pacific Northwest, J.J. and Renton, is devastated and no stradiness is going to cry like crying Craig. Cos Seattle. Classless Seahawks. You just went out and won the Super Bowl MVP. Get out of here. Not to place the Seahawks, the franchise tag on Kenneth Walker. They will let him walk away from the Pacific Northwest. And so instead of getting a guaranteed salary of $14 million for one year,

18:13he will run off, carrying his Pete Rosell Super Bowl MVP trophy, and say that as I just played better than anyone else on my offense in the Super Bowl. And I'm now going to explore the open market. There you go. All right, so the question here. Which direction? Which direction is Seahawks running back? Kenneth Walker headed. As he heads to the auctioning block. After, and he's auctioning his own services, as we said, he's going to free agent next week and going where he wants. So it's nice to know that the Seattle Seahawks value the Super Bowl MVP like he is a spork from KFC. So he's not just a fork or a spoon. He's a spork. So he's a little more valuable than just a fork or a spoon. It's a multi-dimensional situation. But ultimately just a cheap piece of takeout cutlery is what he is.

19:14And it's like, hey, thanks for the memories. Don't let the door hit you with a good, lured splitzer. Get out of here. And now you're someone else's problem. You're not our problem. Now financially, this is not bad. This is a bananza is what it is. It's a seller's market. It's a seller's market. You look at running backs. And running backs have become more in vogue in recent years as a squombarkly in Philadelphia was the man of the hour there for the Eagles and their championship run. And then Kenneth Walker, the Super Bowl MVP. So the last couple of years has been an uptick in running backs. So it is a seller's market that said there's a shortage of goods available. So that's a positive. And Breast Hall got tagged by the Jets. So he's off the market. So Walker becomes the bell of the ball. Yeah. And it's happy days are here again. Financially, happy days are here again. It's an old show watching on the reruns on the streaming and all that.

20:15But it's like Richie cutting him out there getting paid. Getting paid, big money. Now listen, is Walker the greatest running back? No, he's solid. He's a solid, isn't that great? And it's like he was splitting chores with Zach Charbonne in Seattle. And Charbonne got hurt. So Seattle's going to have to bring multiple running backs in. They're going to draft one and then likely sign one as a free agent. And so we'll see how this goes. But good luck to Kenneth Walker who goes to market. Now, who's window shopping? Who's out there window shopping? So you got the supposedly giants. I thought they had some running backs. The giants, Kansas City. You got the Broncos have been mentioned as a possibility for Kenneth Walker. So there's a few teams out there that are really horny to get a running back. They're really horny to get a running back upgrade. They see the explosive style and all that. So Kenneth Walker, it's like the classic scene from the old movies. They say, show me the money.

21:16Yeah, show me the money. Now my unsolicited malar advice to Kenneth Walker. The Super Bowl MVP, all things being equal. You take your talents and you take your GPS and you set your GPS and your talents to arrowhead stadium. And you go there, set that GPS and do not look back. Do not look back. Now see, I don't mean while they're going to try to find again some new plastic forks and spoons and some knives and see what they can find there.

Usually, on this podcast we'll kill you, we talk about the diseases, infections, and biological threats that can make us really sick.

25:26But right now, we're doing something a little different. We're stepping back and looking at what the human body needs to keep going. When you consider what we know about sleep in humans, there's one rule that comes out. We are predictably unpredictable sleepers. We're talking about why sleep works the way it does, why our bodies don't follow neat rules, and why modern life makes rest so hard to come by. The second half of our series takes us to the digestive system with a multi-part series on what happens after we eat. Okay, I just have to say that all of my favorite words apparently are digestive. Yeah, it's sphincter, parastel sauce, duodenum, it's fascinating, it's funny, and it matters so much more than you think.

I went and sat on the little ottoman in front of him and I said, hi dad.

26:26And just when I said that, my mom comes out of the kitchen, and she says, I have cookies and milk. There's this badass convict me just in five years. I'm gonna have cookies and milk and milk.

Open your free iHeartRadio app, surcesino show, and listen now. Bill Miller and you, it is the band and mallar show. We are all locked in here together, a reminder coming up.

27:29Later this hour, we have mallar to the third degree. I'll be straight ahead also. Next hour, the mallar riddle of the day too much or not enough. Also the Queen of Hearts. Is that I believe that's next hour? Yes. Oh my. Next hour, the Queen of Hearts there. Hashtag Queen of Hearts. We've learned that many of you do not know how to spell Queen of Hearts, which is not ideal. But if you want to send a question in, Hashtag Queen of Hearts, take some calls on that as well. That'll be coming up next hour. And then an hour number four, it'll be password. The word game of the stars. That'll be coming up for you an hour four. And who knows what else in the meantime. 87799 on Fox also on X at band mallar. That's at band mallar. Lorena is FSR tech queen. What up? No, no, no. And Coupaloupe, up, Bronco fan.

28:29Your comments can and will be used against you. In the quarter sports radio. So please. Please act the court. Late night's right tester writes. And he says just finished checking the calibrations for the phone breathalyzer. Last hour's results are accurate. Oh, thank you. I knew it wasn't broken. Well, I was going to go back to Mitch, but, but he hung up. So he claimed he played in the NFL. And maybe he did. I don't know. It could be a very specific name that he gave us. And that is someone that played in the NFL. So it is possible that that is exactly what happened. And he's just up having a great time and drawing himself. And the person that he named did play high school football. And in Poway, in San Diego. So it is possible. That's all all connected. Who knows? By the way, the computer screener here has gone to sleep mode.

29:30So it happens at least once an hour. At least once an hour. Alfie, Alino Piner writes and says, rumor has it that you and Looney are going into the workshop to tinker with Benny versus the penny. Now, Alf says, he's about to make an elevator pitch. He says, hear me out. Kyler needs a job. And you need a replacement for the obsolete penny. How about Looney flips Kyler? You could call it Benny versus the alligator arms. I like that you included a Photoshopped image of Kyler Murray with Looney holding him up. And it's also good that you use a photo of Looney wearing a shirt with no arms, which is something that he loves to do. Loves to do it. Nostradinus writes in from the Pacific Northwest. He says that Kenneth Walker, who has a history of injuries, needs to take the most money he's offered and good for him.

30:32The sea ox will be fine. As long as they continue to get help from the NFL officials, they'll be okay. Well, you're right about that, Nostradinus. You're right about that. The lack of loyalty by you is unbelievable. The lack of loyalty. This guy won you a Super Bowl, carried Sam Darnold's terrible performance to the win. And that's how you treat. That's how the sea hawks treat their star players. It's a bad job by you. Yafimi and Chicago writes, and he says, Some animosity I notice towards the go-to cutlery packets. You don't have a drawer with sauces and sports mallor. Well, I did for years when I was a bachelor. I had all that. I had a drawer for the sauce. I had a drawer for the napkins I would take from fast food. You didn't buy a ketchup. You just took it from the fast food place. Of course. I had different sections of the drawer for, if I had my drawer for windy sauce.

31:34If I wanted the barbecue with the honey mustard, I had that. We have Carl's Jr. out here in the west. So I had Carl's Jr. sauce. I had a lot of ketchup from McDonald's. We'd go to Del Taco a lot. Got a lot of that stuff. Taco Bell. I had a good rotation of fast food restaurants. Now, though, I saw the inflation on fast food. They're shameless. The people that serve fast food. They have no shame in their game. It's insane how expensive. You type into the inflation calculator. There's a million of them online. How much a cheeseburger should cost versus how much it does cost. In just a number of years. The people that run the fast food restaurants just to say, we don't care. We do not care. For instance, I saw this the other day. I think it was the other day. It might have been a little while ago. The Mick Chicken price increased. It was $1 in 2018 to $3.10 last year.

32:39That's a 210% increase. It's ridiculous. Seven years, a 210% increase. The Mick Doubles price has gone from $1.19 in 2014. This story was from the end of 2025. There were a couple of months ago. But it was $4.59. That is a 285% increase. Now, the people of Mick Doubles, they say, wow, the prices differ across the country and all that stuff. Right, right, right. Yeah. Okay. Well, good luck on that. It's not just Mick Doubles. It's all of them. I did notice we mentioned this on the 5th hour podcast. I did the foodie fund segment usually on Fridays. We brought that back. I have noticed that if you go on the app, they'll give you a better deal, but then they'll track you. It's like a trade-off. Do you want to be tracked on everywhere you go for the fast food restaurant? But then you save a dollar on the cheeseburger.

33:41Or are you just like, okay, I'll just pay the full amount and all that. So what else do we have? See page down. Can't read that on the air and see here. Yafimi's upset. The rundown was a little late. Bad job by you. Malar. Well, you know, some things going on here. A lot of moving parts. Doc Dan from Minnesota. Right. This is my problem with Kyla Murray getting fired. He's now number 47 in the number of quarterbacks being rumored ahead to the Minnesota Vikings every day. There's another one speculated and replaced JJ McCarthy. And Doc Dan says, at this point, I just want someone, anyone, to be signed. So the stories stop appearing on my phone. And the other way it works with the Vikings is they'll probably sign someone who was a backup last season in the U.F.L. I hope they at least go to the Canadian football league. I hope they would go to the Canadian football league. That would be better.

34:41Well, let's go to the phones right now. Big cosmic week. And who better to give you the inside skinny than our friend Andrea who went out to the hills of Oakland. She traveled out of her humble abode to look at to look at the heavens. And she's now back as an eyewitness. I saw it too. I went out. I saw it was clear where I am. I was able to see the cosmic event last night. And hello to you. Andrea, the astrology insider. Welcome. Welcome. Yes, I was thinking of you and the Malar Melissa. And you know what was interesting was, you know, a mix of the full moon lunar eclipse in Virgo and Mercury retrograde because what ended up happening then. To report back to you is that we were too high up in the Oakland hills and the fog rolled in. Oh, no. Yes. Oh, no. Oh, no. You appreciate this being, you know, in any way. Yeah, yeah. They put it in another room. Okay. And they showed us a live stream from the Griffith Observatory.

35:45Oh, sure. Yeah. Right over downtown LA. Yeah. Yeah. And we got to see the eclipse that way. So it's like plan B moon in, you know, moon in Virgo. We got to think on your feet. So they adjusted that. They put it in a room. There was some nice hot chocolate and whipped cream. Oh, it doesn't sound too bad. But you didn't want to see it with your own, you know, with your bare eyes. Right. Now, a fun fact about the Griffith Observatory, of course, in Griffith Park. And right down the road is a tunnel that they have used in a bunch of movies. There was this old movie called Roger Rabbit. They used it there, a bunch of other movies. And then there's also the original Batcave from the Batman show is in Griffith Park, buried somewhere out in the woods there. So there's a bunch of like stuff around there that they've used for. Oh, interesting. Yeah, I didn't know that. That's interesting, fun fact. So yeah, it was kind of plan B. It was my first time up at the Chevo Space Center.

36:45And it was really nice. And they have telescope viewings. And, you know, I plan to come back during the day. Well, tell them next time there's a cosmic event like this to just get like a helicopter or a balloon and you can go above the fog. Oh, really? So where did you get to see it? It sounds like you got a good view. Yeah, I was concerned because when I left, it was kind of a little cloudy, even one, two cloudy, and then where I got out of the car there, I saw in the north woods I looked up and I saw it. I was like, oh, that's pretty cool. I took a photo, but there was like, didn't come out that good. So I didn't bother with it because it was a photo. No photos never do. Yeah, I did not come out very good. Is that because there's a theory here? Now, when people take photos of UFOs, they never come out very good. And Bigfoot. Bigfoot? No photos. The Loch Ness Monster. Could it be that these things have an aura around them, and that were not allowed to actually take photos of them?

37:47Whatever device we're using, they mess with the device, so. Yeah, I mean, energy is real. So if they're not wanting something to happen, they can put out some energy for that. And you throw in mercury retrograde, which rules technology and communications. I can have something to do with that. All right. Now, hold on a sec, Andrea. Don't hang up. Hold on a sec here. Let me vet this phone call here. Let me screen this call. Scott, you wanted to say something to Andrea. Is that you're going to be nice? Are you going to be a douche? Well, Andre is a fraud. Okay, well, there you go. Wait, Scott, are you off your meds this week? Scott, what's going on with you? I do any to call your pharmacist or your doctor or something like that? What's your problem? I'm a leather for president right now. All right, calm down. Oh, my God. All right. Sorry about that, Andrea. Continue with your call. I apologize there. Oh, yes. No, that's okay. He takes all kinds. Scott's, you know, he's got some issues this week. Yeah, no, you hold space for a lot of people and a lot of different circumstances. But it was really nice to see. I've heard a preference observatory.

38:49And I've seen, you know, on YouTube different events that they've had, but it was kind of cozy that they put us in there. And you know, we kept going out and seeing, oh, you know, the fog left. And as I know, all right. Well, as you know, you've lived there a long time. You know that one of the staples of living in where you lose the fog. Yeah. You're always a ton of fog. Right. But it was still a spiritual experience and nice to be with other spiritual seekers and to learn about, you know, the space center and to, you know, it was full moon in Virgo. So plan B, if we couldn't see it, then let's get a video of it in a live stream going. Yeah, for sure. On their feet. So I admire that about the space, supposed space center. Nice. All right. Well, thank you very much. Andrea, appreciate it. Take care. Have a great night. There she goes. Andrea. All right. Virgo in service on X. You can check her out on social media. Eileen says the FSR computers are buffering.

39:49There is a lot of buffering. And it's not just, I've worked here a long time. I've worked at other radio stations. I've done shows remotely from other radio stations. I've yet to be at a radio station that has good computers. Like, why do they all have bad computers? I don't understand. I do not understand. Like, you have a better computer at home. And I know it's a communal thing. These computers are used by a lot of people. I get it. It seems very odd. Very odd to me. Not one place I've been has had good computers. Not one office I've been to. None. All right. So the 27 and done. Someone named Drew Dolman. You have no idea who that is. Because you're not a total loser. But this guy drew Dolman. Who the hell is that? Well, he was a NFL player. Was an NFL lineman. And he has decided that he's done with the NFL.

40:53He's. I don't know if you can use the word retiring when you're 27 years old. He spent four years with the Atlanta Falcons. Last year was in Chicago with the Bears. He has two years 24 million remaining on his contract, including nine and a half million fully guaranteed. So he's walking away from nine and a half million dollars at age 27. And that's it. Says he's. He's done. He said enough. He was a Stanford guy in 2021 college. And then that's that's it. So there is. This is not that new. It's. We've seen a few of these guts. It didn't happen that often because the money's so great. But they play for a few years, make your money. And that's it. You're done. You get out of here and you figure you do the math on this. This guy went to Stanford. So you figure he's not a complete country bumpkin. And he knows he knows what he's got.

41:54So he is career in the NFL. This guy made 25 million dollars. So at age 27 with 25 million, you should be able to. Live a pretty good life. Live a pretty good life. And I have to work. And that's it. All right. We have a validly third degree. That is straight ahead. We'll get to that NFL stadium story. We'll get to that a little bit later. We'll push that back for timing reasons.

We are predictably unpredictable sleepers. We're talking about why sleep works the way it does, why our bodies don't follow neat rules, and why modern life makes rest so hard to come by.

I went and sat on the little ottoman in front of him and I said, Hi, Dad! And just when I said that, my mom comes out of the kitchen and she says, I have some cookies and milk.

Colt Pending Free Agent, wide receiver, Alec Pierce and Blank are the only players to average 20 plus yards per reception in a season multiple times. In 2010, last 15 years, minimum 30 receptions. That is the question. What is the answer? And Flip are Anderson, guess by Paul. That's a great name. Julio Jones from Eacon Roseville, Minnesota. Obey Toppin, who's 28 today from late night drug tester. Who else do we have? Blue, the Colt's mascot from Tammy in Vegas. Kyler Murray from Alf, the alien opa. Wow, that's very funny. That's a great photo. I'm gonna save that one. I'll send that to the guy who retired to Florida. The Sad Italian, guess by Robbie, the Marinor fan. Do you have an answer, Lorraine? Lazy Luca. No, is Dishon Jackson. Dishon Jackson. Years ago, 2010 and 2014. Here we go, here we go, here we go, here we go, here we go. Here we go, here we go, here we go. Here we go, here we go.

47:59I agree. I agree. This is when Big Ben gets great. Cooler. A report over the weekend suggested that Kurt Cousins could be selective about his next destination that he could even, quote, wait through the offseason for some team situation to change in his favor. Ben, could you see the season starting with Kurt Cousins on sign? No, I think he'll sign. He might sign with CBS, but he'll sign. He'll sign with somebody. If the TV hires him, I think he'll go there. But there's enough starting jobs open. There's not enough quarterbacks. There'll be a job if he wants to get a job. Pittsburgh, if Rogers doesn't go there in Miami. Minnesota, yet again, Arizona. There's a bunch of jobs. Next. Trent Young hasn't played a minute for the Washington Wizards, but he's already been kicked out of a game. After being ejected from the bench on Monday, fans in DC were loving it, going to social media to proclaim Young a legend. Yes. Ben, do you think Young is going to bring the Wizards back from the relevance? The Wizards last 150 games, I believe, before I was a live coop. I've been around a long time.

48:59And no, knocking. And Anthony Davis, the guy's always hurt next. And with March Madden, his student approaching talks of an NCAA tournament expansion have revved up again. However, Coach K said, that's a big mistake. You don't mess with something that is gold. Is he right? Well, it's risky. But if TV is willing to pay for it, whatever TV wants, they're going to do. They've proven that in college basketball. How do we do a coop? You pass it. And say, put it on the board. Put it on the board. We don't win, we don't win. Chicken dinner. This is an I Heart podcast. Guaranteed Human.
