What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
This
hour is being brought to you by Menards. Save big money at Menards. And who? And who? The Bears. And whatnot. Love Bears. Eagles. Bears.
Raheem and Grody. On 104.3 The Score.
We have fresh Ben Johnson audio for you. It's the greatest Ben Johnson trigger of all time. Bringing up the name Kyler Gordon.
What about that guy in the flyer? You know, don't
even say his name. The practice window has opened. So Ben Johnson was asked, what about Kyler Gordon?
I've got nothing to add there. Who hurt you, Ben Johnson?
Oh, that's it. We got to keep that one. Like, hey, Layla, how's your budgeting going?
I've got nothing to add there.
How's your increase of sleep going?
I've got nothing to add there.
Hey, Layla, how's your better workout schedule that's trying to be more regular going?
I've got nothing to add
there.
Ben Johnson also told reporters at Hallis Hall this morning that he's not sure who he's going to start on Monday against the Eagles, but he expressed confidence in third string quarterback. Here we go. Case Keenum.
He's been a baller from, I think, the day that he was born, from what I can tell. You know, it's just he's got that way about him. He's got a knack. His teammates gravitate to him. I think that's a good starting point for a quarterback. And, of course, you know, he's up there in years a little bit.
He's getting up in years. That was 38.
We both
laughed when we heard that.
We did.
Old man Keenum. He's too old to play football, but he's good in the preseason. I'm going in. Coach, you serious? Yeah, I'm serious.
You can do it. Get that old ass of yours in the end zone. We got to win this thing.
Hey, old
man. Absolutely not. You're going to get killed out here. They've been trying that for years. Don't worry. I got the perfect play.
It's all fun and games, kids, that you want to bring in these player coaches like your Mercedes Lewis's of the world and your Case Keenum's.
Chase Daniel.
Yeah, watch out. They're going to have to play sometimes because they're taking up a roster spot and you put them on payroll.
He's up there in years a little bit.
Yeah,
he's 38.
I've got nothing to add there.
We are broadcasting live from the Hyundai Studios, brought to you by your local Hyundai dealers, along with Leila Rahimi. I am Mark Grody. We are Rahimi and Grody. I will just say, from that five butte open, what it made me think, what I've concluded from all of that regarding ages, 38 is a great age in life. I get it. In sports, you're getting a little over the hill. But if you're 38 and you're listening to the score right now, It's really the perfect age because you're probably starting to make money. You still look good. You still have the energy to go out a lot. You're not 40 yet. You're two years away from 40. 38 might be the greatest age that exists in life.
I think the years that I was in my best personal physical shape, like where I actually had a balance and could work out and stuff, I've got nothing to add there right now, was something in the 20s, like 22 to 26. Right. And then 38. Like, somehow I found it again and then completely lost it. It was skinnier during the pandemic, oddly enough. But then, you know, 40 hits and it changes. Ben's there. Welcome to 40, Ben. Yeah, man. Welcome to 40. I've got nothing to add there. But he works out like a
mofo.
He does. Yeah. And he runs on four hours sleep. And I don't. I'm sorry. I just can't do it. I'm not a cyborg.
I understand that. So congratulations if you're 38. Enjoy it. Because if you're 38 right now and you're driving around, you're probably like, I'm getting old. I'm getting close to 40. Enjoy it. Revive. Refresh. Like the 20s is a different animal. Of course, we could all make the case that when we were in our 20s, that was the best times of our lives. But it's not a real
time. I wouldn't say that. No, I would definitely say the 30s were much better for me. For
me, probably if I really reflected, like I had a blast in college at Illinois State. I did. The 20s were fun because you don't think about anything. Nobody can hurt you. You're impervious. And if you are somebody, because we have a lot of young listeners as well, if you're in your 20s and you're listening, appreciate that.
