This is an IHeart podcast. Guaranteed Human When I woke up this morning, I was feeling pretty dangerous. We're on to Cincinnati. It's my team. It's my quarterback. They are who we thought they were, and we let them out the hook. Hello, you play to win the game. They want you to cook the dinner. At least they ought to let you shop for some of the groceries. And on the way up, we're going to buy the kneecap off. You kidding me? Playoffs. I'm just here so I won't get fun. How can you not be romantic about football? Oh, that means something a little extra today. Hello, everybody. Welcome to the Benched with Beneta podcast. We back, baby. Mohan's back in studio. Whoa, whoa.

Do you have a nice time ditching us for your vacation? Oh, can't come to the combine. How convenient.

It's a tough flight. I'm just kidding.

Happy to have you back though, bud. You look great look great. Speaking of people who are looking great, somebody turned 30. Whoop, woo, woo. Junkyard Dog, happy 30th birthday, my friend. Wow, thank you so much. Yeah, no problem. We're both 30, so how does it feel to join the club? It feels old and wise. I feel wiser today. Bro, we're older than you.

You can't say that.

I brought you a little something, something.

Got you a little nice warm bottle of champs over there.

Thank you so much.

It's not that fancy.

Why you crack it?

Let's add a little pop.

Oh, I get it.

It is a twisty. Is it a twisty?

Oh, that's not cool It's open You want to have a little sip of it? Am I allowed to do this at work? No one's gonna tell on you, no one's listening All right Have a little sip Yeah HR doesn't listen to this podcast I'm just faking this bosses I think it's just sparkling drinking it at all.

Whoa, that's a huge gulp.

Happy birthday junkyard dog.

Somebody came out to me in Indy and said, where's junkyard dog? Where's Mohan? Wow. They actually didn't ask where you were, but they did ask where Justin was. They did ask where Justin was. No, and then they elaborated. And they said, well, I really wanted to see like Mohan and

Justin and like Pete. I was like, why would Pete be here? Because he has to meet all the, all the coaches. Oh, yeah, right. That's right. He's going to get upset if I'm ever around a football player again and he can't introduce himself. Guys, we missed you in Combine. Everyone wanted you to be there. But we are back in action.

And you know what?

I'm a little bit cheese today because a lot of news hit the airwaves.

And to be honest, it was a little selfish of everybody.

It is International Women's Day.
