• 4:34
  Speaker 2: hour is from baseball and pretty good story.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: This is spicy Meatball. It's a spicy meatball kind of
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: a story. Uh yeah, it is.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: So if you have not heard here, the Dodgers star
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: player is in the cross hears and Dave Roberts I
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: really liked him in that spot. Dave Roberts running to
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: the rescue. Dave Roberts not happy with Toronto Blue Jay
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: George Springer, a notorious shady figure in baseball history.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Just a bad dude, George Springer.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Well, Roberts is unhappy with the Blue Jays outfield, that
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: George Springer, because Springer had the hutzba to take a
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: shot at shoh Otani. Say what, yeah, did you see this? No,
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: all right, let me give you the detail. So the
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: other day Dodgers were in Toronto. They took two or
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: three from the Blue Jays. The game the Toronto won,
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: the Dodgers gave it away.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: So a punch to the.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Gut there, George Springer, that little weasel. George Springer questioned
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: the amount of time the umpires gave Otani to warm up.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Now, the World.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: Series losers who choked away the World Series at home
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: in Game seven were grumbling about essentially the Otani.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Time zone, if you will. Now, I don't know whose.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Hair brained idea this was, but man alive do so.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Dave Roberts, running to defend the unicorn, said, quote, there's
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: got to be some grace for sho hal Tani. Yeah,
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: he said, talking about the fact he's a two way player.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Asked about him.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: Getting extended time between innings to warm up, Robert said,
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: the truth is he's different and that was the end
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: of that quote.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: So that's a good jumping off point.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: Let us discuss the question for the esteem panel. How
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: does Toronto outfielder George Springer, Toronto's George Springer think.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: He has the right to question show hal.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Tani's warm up routine and how the umpires handle that.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: So my observations here, I've got off Broadway show, speak
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: easy and Gordon Gecko and we'll combinde all of these
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: things together. And the flag is up. So number wa,
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: this one is extra extra rich.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: It's really really really sugary. So let me get this straight.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: The same guy who has a permanent asterisk tattooed to
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: his ass, all right from Houston, is chirping at Oltani. Yeah,
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: I've got online one it says tone deaf Online one
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: Online two it says obtuse.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: So George Springer, who is starring.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: In a one man off Broadway show called wine Time.
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: And my reaction, booooo, look at the source, Look at
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: the source, this dirty dirty dog, our lifetime membership.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: In the cheating e.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: As one thousand whole club. And now that guy is
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: the etiquette police. That guy is the one that decides
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: what's allowed and what's not allowed in baseball. Hey, George,
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: let's bring back some memories. George Springer, bang bang whistle whistle.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: Chay up checked him for the buzzer because I remember
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: all that, George. I know other people are just move on, Boomer. Oh,
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: I remember you, cheating dog, George Springer. I remember you
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: got the cooties. Yeah, somebody go out and by George Springer,
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: some irish spring because he reeks of hypocrisy. Now here's
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: the real issue. All right, let's let's get down at this.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: Otani is too good. All right, he's too good, and
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: he isn't last I checked. He's not just another player.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: He's the pillar of baseball. And if you thought a
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: couple years ago he was like even with Aaron Judge,
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: he is zoom past Aaron Judge, like zoom zoom right
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: past Aaron Joney is by himself in a different stratosphere
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: than anyone else in baseball.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: And you're gonna be shocked by this.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: But Major League Baseball bends the rules for stars, always has,
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: always will Every sports league does it. The NBA famously
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: had the Jordan Rules. It was well known that Sam Smith,
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: a writer from Chicago, wrote a book about it. The
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: Jordan rules, and it was an open secret that that's
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: hout went. The NBA has always done that for a
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: certain percentage of the top players. Well, baseball's got the
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: Otani guidelines, if you will, And that's the business.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: And it's really not doubt outrageous if.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: You're old enough to remember back before the designated hitter
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: was in the National League and they had the DH
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: in only the American League and the National League. And
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: I covered baseball a lot back in those days and
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: went to a ton of games, and I would recall
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: every once in a while.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Didn't happen very often, believe it or not.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: A pitcher would get a hit or would walk or
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: get on base, and the umpire, as a courtesy, professional courtesy,
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: would give that picture a little extra time to kind
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: of get himself right and go out and warm up.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: So it's not outrageous. That is just the standard practice.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: Otani's the only one that is impacted like that in
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: the modern game today.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: But it's just good business.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: Otani is the economy of baseball, not just in the
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: United States, but obviously domination in Japan and all that.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: And George Springer, he's like that one plied toilet paper,
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: who cares flush it down the toilet. He's replaceable, you
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: know that. He's been kicked out of the US. He's
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: in Canada, stuck on the Blue Jays and all that,
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: and he's just he's a dirty, rotten scoundrel. He doesn't
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: get talked about that much like Al Boube and that
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: dirty dog Bregman of the cheating Astro's famous now with
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: the Cubs, or Carlo's career, that punk. He don't get
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: talked about like those guys because he's in Toronto. And
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: that's it all right now Paystu to Augusta.
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: We go.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: Now, I have learned over the years.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: One thing I've learned from doing the talk radio show
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: over the years is to never do a monologue about
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: the first round of the Masters. It's irrelevant, So I
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: don't do that. I used to do it when Tiger
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: Woods would be leading or whatever. I don't do that anymore.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: I did see a story that caught my attention. I
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: had it on in the background some of the coverage
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: I was monitoring.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: You know, of course, they don't put everything out there.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: Very elitist over there at the Masters. So there were
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: fans who are attending this week in Augusta, the twenty
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: twenty six Masters Tournament, and they are expected to throw
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: down millions and millions of dollars in merch now rather
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: but the golf tournament goes a few days. It ends
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: on Sunday, began on Thursday. I know there's some other
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: events leading up to that. At Augusta National, the Masters
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: is expected did you hear this? Expected to make how
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: much money in merchandise sales?
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: You got a number? All right?
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: All right, don't change your answer. Don't know the correct answer.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: The Masters is projected to rake up seventy million.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Dollars in merch sales.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's one million dollars per hour at the event.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: It's ten million dollars a day of the event only goes,
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: you know, ten hours whatever, million dollars an hour, sixteen
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: thousand dollars a minute, two hundred and seventy seven dollars
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: a second. So I would like to work just about
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: I don't know, five minutes.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: I'll be good. Just I'll work five minutes. I'll pay
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: me that for five minutes. I'm good. So here's the question.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: Is one million dollars per hour in merch sales at
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: the masters, a sign of an unbelievable tradition or a
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: full blown case of golf fans losing their frickin marbles.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: So it is a combination plate all of the above,
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: all of the above, and I don't know jump up
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: and down too much. There is a perfect storm. As
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: our friend Andrea the astrology inside, I would say, the
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: planets have lined up here because this is not just
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: a gift shop. It is a merchandising cartel dressed up
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: in their little green jackets with their sweet tea and
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: all that. Now, one of our listeners who's a super
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: fan of the show, he reached out to me a
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: couple years ago on the Fifth Hour podcast. He lives
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: near Augusta, and he invited me to go to Augusta,
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: myself and Danny g before he quit the podcast, and
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: we were going to go down there and hang out
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: and have a fine, fine time. It didn't work out logistically.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: I don't think the offer stands anymore. I can promise
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: you I would not be spending that much money on
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: the merch if I went down. It's one of those
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: things you kind of want to go to it because
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: you've been around sports and you've seen it your entire life,
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: and I've had some people I know that have been
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: down there, and a friend of the show, the Great
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: Ted Sobel, I believe if he won a media contest
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: and played the course if I remember correctly years ago,
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: and he talks about it very fondly, very fondly. But
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: Augusta National is running a speak easy flea market where
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: scarcity is the password. And the reason they're selling so
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: much stuff is not that this is great merchandise. It's
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: that you cannot buy this junk on Amazon or anywhere
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: else online. In terms of like the Master's website, they
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: don't have Master's Shop like MLB's got their shop.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: No no, no, no no no, no, no no no.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: You gotta take your fat ass on a pilgrimage like
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: you're going to Mecca, to the Mecca for khakis and
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: other crap. So that's how you get sixteen thousand dollars
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: a minute, tick tick tick tic tick touching and people
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: buying knickknacks for Grandpa and Uncle Harvey. And they've created
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: a myth that logo is perceived to be luxury. You
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: slap that Master's logo on a garden hose, a spatula.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: You can put it on a paper clip and teta
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: doesn't matter. People like the trained you know what they are,
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: they buy They'll buy seven of them. It's like toilet
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: paper and water during a pandemic.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: Load up.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: Now, if you don't believe me, the Master's Gnome is
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: hotter than an armpit full of chili peppers. That's the
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: hottest product. They sell that thing out within an hour.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: They have a Master's Gnome that you can get. That's wacky.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: Tobacci's what that is?
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: All right? Final point.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: Now, we had a caller a couple of weeks back,
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: call her and SoCal who called up to bitch and
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: complain about the Olympic ticket situation.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: And we talked about that for a little bit and
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: I didn't give it too much time.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: And so I've been reading some stories about it and
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: this guy was ahead of his time here, Good job
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: by him. So there's a new story out that My
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: eyes got really my eyeballs got really large. And all
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: we learned that the LA Olympic tickets include a twenty
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: four percent service fee. That seems kind of high, right,
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: Is that on par with the Parie Olympics of twenty
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: twenty four is that similar, similar service fee? Well, it
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: turns out the service fee for the Paris Olympics was
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: one point five percent. Yeah, so do the math on that.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: So one point five percent twenty four percent? Was that
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: like sixteen times higher? So the LA twenty eight committee
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: told the media that in a reporter said, why are.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: You doing this?
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: This doesn't seem very fair to the people of California,
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: the people in the United States, the people of.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: The world that you're screwing them over with.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: This this service fee bull crap, which is like a
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: resort fee in Vegas. And they claimed the Olympic people,
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: they said, well, it accounts for processing and delivering tickets
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: in a manner that will align with standard industry practices
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: for ticketing live.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: Events in the US.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: Wow, you can almost smell through the speaker the bull crap.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a lot of bull crap, all right.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: So the question how does a supposedly civic minded Olympic
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: committee justify a twenty four percent price gouge and call.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: It it's great, I wanna get it right.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: Uh, industry standard, standard industry practice.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: And how do they do that with a straight face?
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: So it turns out that the word processing, and I
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: like words. The word processing is a euphanism for we
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: think you're too stupid to notice, and you're such a
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: dumb you won't even care. This is legalized activity, to
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: legalize shakedown, dressed up as an industry standard.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: What exactly?
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: Let me ask, I get I'm not that smart, I
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: do the Overnight show. Explain to me like I'm a child.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: Explain to me like I'm a child that what processing
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: takes twenty four percent? Are they literally hand carving the
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: tickets out of marble? Is that what they're doing? Like, Okay,
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: here's your ticket. It's a block of.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: Marble that we hand carved for you. Enjoy. Okay, I'm in.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: Isn't everything digital?
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: At what point do we admit that the Olympics it's
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: been this way for They're not a sporting event. They're
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: a surcharge delivery system. And the Athletics are sprinkled on top,
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: just a little sprinkle, just a little sprinkle on top.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: It's a three card Monty game for suckers who buy
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: these tickets. And Gordon Gecko from that famous Wall Street
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: movie right there, he must be running the Olympic ticketing thing.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: He's like well read for a lack of a better word,
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: is good, Creed is right, greed works, it's the way
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: to go. You talk about having no shame in your game,
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: though from one point five percent to twenty four percent,
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: it's like, well.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: No one I'll notice. It'll be fine.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: Those dumb Americans, they'll pay it. Who cares about them?
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: They are a bunch of idiots, And they appear to
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: be correct, as the tickets are all pretty much sold
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: and the they claim to have cheap twenty eight dollars tickets.
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: I've gotten some emails we mentioned the caller who pointed
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: out how ridiculous those weren't really available and all that.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: So they're just apparently testing how much nonsense Americans will
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: tolerate before they revolt, and it doesn't appear that they're
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: at that point yet, And so as they stay, they say,
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: they're on the stock market. Get down that dumb money, baby,
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: get that dumb money.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: Cha chan, chi ching, chi ching. And everyone's trying to
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: figure out how much.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: You will pay for what you used to get for
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: free or for a lot less, and they're finding out.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: That is a lot. It is a lot. It is
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: a lot, It is a lot.

  Speaker 2: I guess he's gone, he's moved on. Let's go to Steven,
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: who's in Texas and he is up next.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: Hello, Steven, welcome, You're on the Ben Show. What's going on? Steven?
• 23:02
  Speaker 8: Doing good and just standing up? Just getting home from work.
• 23:05
  Speaker 8: Just heard you talk about the Rustini and Grainvil scandal earlier.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what do you think about that?
• 23:15
  Speaker 8: So I know, you know, the previous coller, Bubba said,
• 23:17
  Speaker 8: you know, just let adults be adults. But I'm like,
• 23:20
  Speaker 8: at the same time, you know, they're you know, trying
• 23:23
  Speaker 8: to you know, she's trying to get one up on,
• 23:28
  Speaker 8: you know, getting into I feel like she's been posting
• 23:33
  Speaker 8: about A. J. Brown and you know, the drama within
• 23:37
  Speaker 8: the Eagles organization for almost the past two years, and
• 23:41
  Speaker 8: I feel like, you know, that's kind of moving his
• 23:44
  Speaker 8: stock down, you know, in terms of trade position. I
• 23:50
  Speaker 8: feel like you know.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: That Steve, it is a little odd.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: Some of people have gone back and parsed some of
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: the stories that she wrote and some of the things
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: that she said about how A. J. Brown said he
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: wanted to play for Mike Rabel. Well, I think we
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: know where she got that story.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: I think it wasn't from AJ Brown. You know what
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: I'm saying there, Steven, we know where that came from.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: Think Rabel told her that while they were having my
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: tiet at the pool.
• 24:16
  Speaker 8: I have no doubt, no doubt.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: Maybe they were having a long Island ice tea or something.
• 24:21
  Speaker 8: I don't know exactly, but I agree on your end,
• 24:26
  Speaker 8: you know, I feel like, yeah, I like how you
• 24:28
  Speaker 8: said you didn't get the memo. Everybody else, you know,
• 24:31
  Speaker 8: seems like they're just trying to ignore it, or at
• 24:34
  Speaker 8: least nip it in the bud until, you know, maybe
• 24:37
  Speaker 8: it just blows up bigger, or they're trying to figure
• 24:40
  Speaker 8: out how to handle it.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: On her end, well, they don't talk about it and
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: it just stays contained on social media.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: I think they'll they'll feel like they're fine.
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: And all that. I imagine the power though, this is
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: a great testimonial to the power of the NFL that
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: they can put the muzzle on this story and keep
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: all these big media companies from talking.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: About that, is that is impressive. I'm impressed at the NFL.
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not surprised by it because they're they're
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: in bed with everybody, so it's not that's kind of
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: an interesting way of saying it, but this is I'm
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: not surprised.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: What kind of work do you do, Steve.
• 25:15
  Speaker 8: I'm in the restaurant business, you know, I just oh yeah,
• 25:19
  Speaker 8: got off you know, late shifts and everything.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: You know, how's how's the rest? What kind of food
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: do you guys serve?
• 25:25
  Speaker 8: Oh? Italian and pizza stir?
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, I love pizza. I love Italian food.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: Do you have any fetucini on the menu?
• 25:33
  Speaker 9: Oh?
• 25:33
  Speaker 8: You know it customer's favorite plasagna, which is my favorite too.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: To be honest, is that is that it meat based
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: or a cheese based lasagnia?
• 25:42
  Speaker 8: A little bit of both, mostly meat.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: Though mostly meat. That's the big seller.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: I got you all right, Well it's a and you
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: sold a lot of food, did well?
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: Yes?
• 25:52
  Speaker 8: Yeah, pretty busy night, pretty big Thursday night going into it.
• 25:55
  Speaker 8: You know, I've been listening to the show and everything,
• 25:58

• 26:29
  Speaker 10: talking about a seventy million dollars in merchandise. Now what
• 26:32
  Speaker 10: kind of merchandising are we talking about here? Because I
• 26:35
  Speaker 10: actually think it's a whole lot more than that.
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: I think the report is bogus. You don't think that
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: it's seventy million dollars. They're only open for ten hours
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: a day at the thing. They're not open that that's
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: a long time.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: But it's not that long.
• 26:51
  Speaker 10: Yeah, But you gotta understand, you've got people they're you know,
• 26:54
  Speaker 10: like you know, from all over the country and all

• 27:02
  Speaker 10: club or guys that you know are running a a
• 27:08

  Speaker 10: They're buying, you know, stuff for their own club that
• 27:18
  Speaker 10: they don't you know, that they don't have.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: I understand, I understand that. But you can only bring
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: so much back unless you drove there. If you're flying back,
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: there's only so much stuff you can bring the price
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: of the baggage and all.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: That's insane.
• 27:32
  Speaker 10: Oh yeah, But but I'm saying they could, they could

  Speaker 1: that's enough money.
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: Seventy million dollars in one weekend for you know, how

• 27:58
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 28:01
  Speaker 5: I don't know either.
• 28:01
  Speaker 10: But like I'm saying, you know, you've got people who
• 28:05
  Speaker 10: are gonna see stuff that's not at their club. Or
• 28:08
  Speaker 10: not at their prom shop, you know, and it's like,
• 28:10
  Speaker 10: you know they're gonna, they're gonna buy it.

• 29:08
  Speaker 2: he's hitting the sauce.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: What else do we have about Bozo?
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: The district attorney writes in and says, what do you
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: think are the odds that Bill Belichick planted the Vrabel
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: Russini story.
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: Oh I like that.
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: No, No, even better, Boso, how about this? It wasn't Belichick.
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: It was the lady that did it, like his little
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: cheerleading girlfriend.
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: That's the one to get back because she was trying
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: to make things good for Belichick.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: Jordaan Hudson, could it be? H?
• 29:40
  Speaker 7: I like that?
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: Good conspiracy, good conspiracy on that? Not A Burner rights
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: In says, are we sure that part of Bernie Madoff's
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: community service isn't to help advise sporting businesses?
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: I think he might be advising the Olympic comany.
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: Yes, he Actually it's a little side house, so it's
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: a lot commute from across the Pearly Gates. But he's
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: crossing over the Pearly Gates and coming back and advising businesses.
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Joel in Seattle. What's going on, Joel? Welcome,
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: You're on the Ben Maler Show on Fox.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: What's up, Joel? I've got to know great line. I
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: love it. Hey, I love it.
• 30:18
  Speaker 9: I like I like your Chakra Khan tonight. That was great.
• 30:22
  Speaker 9: And what I called about was I wondered how the
• 30:27
  Speaker 9: Athletics beat the Yankees in the brock wont to nothing today.
• 30:32
  Speaker 9: And what you think of how the Mariners they're They've
• 30:38
  Speaker 9: got the worst batting average in the league and they're
• 30:40
  Speaker 9: four and nine, off to another slow start.
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not great. The thing that about the Mariners
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: that does scare you a lot is the NVP or
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: the face of the Mariners cal Rawley, who looks terrible
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: like that. That's scary because if he's if he's back
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: to be an average just an average player, then that that.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: Screws everything up. It isn't It is not good.
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: They're twenty ninth I think in runs scored the Mariners.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: Now I didn't play, as you know, I did not
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: play in the major leagues, but that does not seem
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: good to me. That you're twenty ninth out of thirty
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: teams in run scored and cal Raley's batting one forty
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: three with one home run.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: That's not not great.
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: Also, what happened to Julio Rodriguez? I thought this was
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: the next a Rob, the next Griffy? What happened to that?
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: I don't think he's all He's he seems fine.
• 31:30
  Speaker 9: Don't have an answer. I think all three, Him and
• 31:33
  Speaker 9: Naylor and Laly are all you're batting under the Mendoza line.
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, it's not it's not great.
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: So it's as long as they're kind of hanging around
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: and it's not like anyone separated. He always you start
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: worrying when someone separates and there's one team that just zooms.
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: Past everyone else.
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: And it seems like most of the teams this year
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: in the National League and the American League is not
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: It is not great. But you look overall and you're like, well,
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: you know, no one's all. The Yankees are eight and four.
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: That's not great, But the Mariners are right. There's a
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: pack of teams that are all kind of bad. They're
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: near the bottom, obviously, but they're not no one separated
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: what I'm trying to say, So, all right, there you go,
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: a little hot marinon talk from Joel.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: Appreciate that. Let's see what else do we have any
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: meenie miney mo. Let's say hello to who have we
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: not talked to? Let's say hello to Chance in Alabama?
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: What's going on? Chance? Welcome? You're on the Ben Malor
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: Show on Fox.
• 32:42
  Speaker 5: Yes, sir, how are you doing tonight?
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: If I was any better, I'd be a Tide, but
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: not the Crimson Tide, because.
• 32:48
  Speaker 5: There you can't get any better than Crimson. Tied the
• 32:51
  Speaker 5: greatest college football programs of all time?
• 32:54
  Speaker 9: Well, Nick, what's that?
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: When Nick's okay, you know Bear Bryant, but I don't
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: know about now.
• 33:04
  Speaker 5: But yeah, I'm just talking about in general, they are
• 33:07
  Speaker 5: the greatest college football franchise of all time. There's no
• 33:10
  Speaker 5: arguing that. I mean, currently they may not be, but
• 33:14
  Speaker 5: you know, as far as record books go, if it
• 33:16
  Speaker 5: was all said and done today, they would be the greatest,
• 33:18
  Speaker 5: with the two greatest coaches of all time. But anyways,
• 33:21
  Speaker 5: I was calling about the Chiefs, man. I've been hearing
• 33:23
  Speaker 5: a lot of talk that, you know, just because they're
• 33:25
  Speaker 5: picking ninth, they got a running back, people are just
• 33:27
  Speaker 5: supposing that they're gonna hop right back on top. And
• 33:30
  Speaker 5: to me, they're underestimating the acl They're underestimating two years ago.
• 33:37
  Speaker 5: How many how many times did Casey just squeak by?
• 33:40
  Speaker 5: You know, they had so many flukey wins two years ago,
• 33:44
  Speaker 5: it's insane. And people just suppose, oh, they're gonna pick ninth,
• 33:48
  Speaker 5: they trade away all their good players are offensive line sucks.
• 33:51
  Speaker 5: Patrick Mahomes the ACL to me, it takes a full
• 33:55
  Speaker 5: year to get right from my ACL a full year,
• 33:58
  Speaker 5: and I don't see the offensive line get Maybe they'll
• 34:00
  Speaker 5: get a stud tack or something, but you know, they
• 34:03
  Speaker 5: have not drafted well the past couple of years, and
• 34:07
  Speaker 5: I just don't I don't see them hopping right back
• 34:09
  Speaker 5: on top.
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: Look at you, man, you're in here and you're just
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: throwing haymakers at the Chiefs right now.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: What do you have against the Chiefs?
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: That's very random that you and Alabama would call up
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: to just have a bombing run on.
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: Mahomes and the Chiefs. What is this about? What's your agenda?
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: What team do you want?
• 34:27
  Speaker 5: I live in Alabama, but I grew up in Western York.
• 34:30
  Speaker 5: I'm a Bills fan.
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: Oh okay, all right, so that's still kind of random.
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: But my position on the Chiefs. This is a fork
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: in the road.
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: Season for the Chiefs coming up.
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: Because they did win a bunch of close games. That's fine,
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: you say, Okay, they got lucky whatever.
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: Fine. Last year you could also say they didn't get lucky.
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: So the assumption is they will be better this year
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: because they've added a couple.
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: Of players and Mahomes, assuming he's back.
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: By the week four of the regular season and all that,
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: they'll get a decent player. Whoever they get it. The
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: ninth pick will be decent. They've had an okay offseason.
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: They had the running back and a couple of other players,
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: so that's fine.
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: So it's not like anyone else.
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: I look at the divisions like, no one's really done
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: all that much.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: So I think they'll be. They'll be right in the
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: thick of it next year. But you are spitting Loogi's
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: all over Arrowhead stadiums. What you're doing.
• 35:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I just I just think the Chiefs are on
• 35:26
  Speaker 5: a downward spiral. I think, uh, you know, as great
• 35:29
  Speaker 5: as Mahomes is, I mean, they're getting rid of their
• 35:32
  Speaker 5: good players. I don't know, they lost their lines back.
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: As long as they have Mahomes, they're fine. As long
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: as he's as long as Mahomes doesn't suck, they're fine.
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: They're still they have to get some more playmakers, though
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: they have not.
• 35:45
  Speaker 5: Look look at the last two Super Bowls. When he's
• 35:48
  Speaker 5: not protected, he gets killed. I mean the last two
• 35:51
  Speaker 5: super Bowls he's in.
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: You know, you know, there's no there's no court. But
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: the they didn't show.
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: I don't know what happened when they played the e
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: and that that last one they played in, but they
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: were That was terrible.
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: That was that was non competitive. How do you not
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: show up to the super Bowl?
• 36:07
  Speaker 5: That was one. He's got to have an offensive line.
• 36:10
  Speaker 5: That's my whole point.
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: That's that's I'm gonna give you a c on that take, because,
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: as you know, chance, most sacks are not because of
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: the offensive line.
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: There because of the quarterback.
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: Most sacks are because of the quarterback not making the
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: right read getting rid of the ball quick.
• 36:25
  Speaker 5: Enough, unless you got a cheat code like Mahomes or
• 36:28
  Speaker 5: Josh Allen.
• 36:29
  Speaker 11: No.
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: But my point is that everyone blames the offensive line
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: most of the time. I've talked to coaches about this
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: that have worked here. It's not I gotta let you
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: go because I got a clock thing. But thank you
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: call any time.
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: Man. I appreciate that. Look at that. He was very polite.
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: He did. Most of these guys, I said, I gotta go.
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: They start bitching and complaining. Chances like, all right, what
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: more thing? One more thing? I know, right, Coop.
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: It takes ten minutes to get these losers off the show. Anyway,

  Speaker 2: I was gonna say, Babe Ruth, No, the Great Jose Alvarado.
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: Twenty three, not Captain Kangaroo, which just Josh said, not him,

  Speaker 1: or Muddyball Mallard from Maller property. Here we go, Here

  Speaker 6: It's Maller.
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: How about that?
• 39:45
  Speaker 7: To the third degree, this is one big Ben gets grilled.
• 39:52
  Speaker 11: Provolo Ravens Titan Mark Andrews says he quote sees a
• 39:56
  Speaker 11: lot of opportunities in this new Ravens offense. Then last year,
• 39:59
  Speaker 11: Andrew he's had the lowest yardage total of his career.
• 40:02
  Speaker 11: Do you think he's set to bounce back?
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: No, No, I don't.
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: It's very odd the Ravens shows to keep him around.
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: I know he's been the good soldier and all that, but.
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: He's the textbook definition of a declining asset.
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: You look at the age, you look at the wear.
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: And tear, and it's a little lopsided against him. I
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: would expect rather erratic play from Andrews the rest of
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: the White next.
• 40:29
  Speaker 11: Terre's Halliburton played five on five Wednesday for the first
• 40:31
  Speaker 11: time since last June. Now, without Haliburton, the Pacers have
• 40:35
  Speaker 11: gone from the finals to the second worst record in
• 40:37
  Speaker 11: the NBA. Do you think it's going to be a
• 40:39
  Speaker 11: quick return to the top of the East when Halliburton
• 40:40
  Speaker 11: returns next year.
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: Well, they'll actually try to win, which is a step
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: in the right direction.
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: It has been just a disaster this year. It's a
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: piecemeal effort. They've tried to They're.
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: Copying what the Spurs did back in the day when
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: they had David Robinson get hurt and then they got
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: Tim Duncan.
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: So it's a similar trying to win the lottery.
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: So they can help Haliburt now, so as if they're
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: trying to win, Yes, they'll bounce back next The.
• 41:03
  Speaker 11: UFL is in the midst of its third season, and
• 41:05
  Speaker 11: on Wednesday of the announced they will be expanding to
• 41:07
  Speaker 11: ten teams. League is reportedly on track to expand to
• 41:09
  Speaker 11: sixteen by twenty thirty two. But are you surprised by
• 41:12
  Speaker 11: the UFL's success.
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: I don't know what your definition of success are people
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: getting great ratings on TV?
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: No, the attendance is at great. No, I mean they're scuding.
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: I know there, doesn't mean they're there, doesn't mean they're good.
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: And then they're just adding they're getting other people to
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: spend money. I I don't I'm not thinking it's a
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: great product. I don't think they're doing that great.
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: How did we do you pass this edition that is
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: a kicking down
