  Speaker 1: Jerkson Profar was able to get away with it. Fascinating story.

• 0:52

• 0:55
  Speaker 1: it's coming your way right now here. It is our

  Speaker 1: for the better. Welcome in the beginning of another hour
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: of the Benmather Show. We are in the air everywhares.

• 2:03
  Speaker 1: big fan of the number ten thousand, So I lead.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: This hour's from baseball. We'll get back to the hot,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: spicy basketball talk later on, but this hour we're gonna
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: focus in on a little baseball. There's a developing story
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: that continues to have legs. I didn't think it was
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: gonna have legs, but it's got legs. And we're talking
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: about the wretched start of the Atlanta Braves. Now, the
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Braves did win, so they're two and eight now two
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: and eight. They won a game over the weekend one here,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: so they're two and eight on the season, and a
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: lot of noise, a lot of noise on the one
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: that they got that they wish they hadn't gotten. So
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: a mallor show, mallor show, follow up, follow up, if
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: you have not been paying attention, the Atlanta Braves are
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: without their left field and they went out and spent
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: some money. They signed Jerkson Profar. You might remember we
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: talked about this in a previous episode of the show.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: He had been whacked eighty game suspension for putting his
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: hand in the ped cookie jar and he got caught.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: He got caught. Well.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Now, couple of new developments. Now, one of them a
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: longtime baseball scribe. And you understand these baseball writers, it's
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: the fraternal order of baseball. They're in the inner circle.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: They almost never cross the line at criticizing players because
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: they need to have access to the players. And you
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: start criticizing players, it becomes a problem, so it affects
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: your career. So they're normally wearing knee pads for the players.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: So when someone crosses the rubicon, I feel like that's interesting.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: I feel like there's something there. So we have that
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: longtime baseball scribe, Bob Nightingale, who I knew him back
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: when he was a Dodger beat writer a million years ago.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: But Bob Nightingale went on the record on the record
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: writing that the Atlanta Braves were essentially scammed by Jerkson Profar.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: Now he's not alone. There have been some former players
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: that have said this. Have been a number of.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Big shots, if you will, in the baseball world that
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: have come out and said, listen, this is dirty.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: What happened here is dirty.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question at this point, based
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: on all these circumstantial evidence.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: Is there even a question?
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Is there even a question if the braves were ripped
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: off by Jerkson Profar in the offseason. So I've got ozone, layer,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Farmers Almanac, and chainsaw, and we will combine all of
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: these things together and we are going to make gringo tacos,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: the crunchy taco, my favorite kind of taco.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: They the crunchy taco the way to go there.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: All right, So, first of all, the answer the question,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: is there any kind of question whether or not the
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: braids were ripped off? So on this side of the microphone,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: it says clear as vodka. Okay, it says clear as vodka. Yeah,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: there's no debate on this side. Now, you gotta understand
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: what this guy pulled off. Jerks and Profar is a
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: modern day Lufstanza heist.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: You know that they made multiple movies.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: About that heist of the cargo at the airport in
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: New York, and I looked it up because I've seen
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: a number of those movies. So the Luftanza heist was
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: five point eight million in nineteen seventy eight. Now I
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: pulled out my friend, the the inflation calculator. So I
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: went to the inflation calculator and I did the math.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: So five point eight million in nineteen seventy eight in
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: today's money is twenty eight point three million. So if
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: you say that famous heist at the airport in New
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: York was twenty eight million dollars, you say, oh my god,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: makes sense. Why they've made movies. Well, Jerkson Profar, who
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: appears to be a total fraud, his contract is forty
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: two million. So this is a bigger heist than the
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Luftanza heist of years gone by.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Forty two million, forty two million dollars.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: And how did he get away with it? Now, that's
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: the other wrinkle which is fascinating. And the way that
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: he was able to get around the mistake, I think
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: you agree, is rather interesting. So if you haven't heard
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: about this, maybe maybe not. From what we understand, there
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: is a hole in the ozone layer. WHOA what whoa?
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: The chain of command. So, as we understand it, player
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: gets tested. All right, player submits the test, the the
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: PP test there to figure out whether you got the
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: bad stuff in your body. And then there's radio silence.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: So you've submitted the sample. It's gone to the lab
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: and the late night drug testers examining things. The league
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: and the players Association. They then get word, hey, here's
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: what's going on. That Player X, who's a free agent,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: has tested positive for the magic beans. So player EX
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: is tested positive. Player AX is dirty, dirty dirty dirty.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: The team does not know. So that is what's known
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: as a blind spot. So he got a hole in
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: the ozone Lai. There's a blind spot. So now that
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: being said, I do not want to totally absolve the
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Atlanta Braves from their level of incompetence, Like what kind
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: of Dodo birds do they have in the front office.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: I know they're all nerds and all that stuff. But
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Jerkson Profar was a mediocre Major League baseball player.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: Everyone can agree on that.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: He then has this late in his prime career renaissance
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: with the Padres. Oh and by the way, his workout
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: buddies one of his workout buddies is that dirty dog,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: another dirty dog by the name of Fernando Tatist Junior
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: and his famous ringworm medication. So it's killed by association.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: The math ain't mathing on that, and so now most
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: assumed the team from Atlanta will be left with a mediocre,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: fringe utility type baseball player that they'll be paying forty
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: two million dollars to and he got away with it
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: all right now. Secondly, so the baseball season still we're
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: still in early kind of get into mid April, so
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: it's still early in the game in baseball, and watching
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: these games, it's a little bit of the Red Sox
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Blue Jays game last night slipping around. I had the
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Mets game on a bit, had the Dodgers and the Nationals.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: That one much of a game.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Dodgers, I guess they hung over from visiting the White
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: else So I've watched a few of the games and
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: the one constant was it's a winter wonderland. It's a
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: winter wonderland, and it's all over this it's just the
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: time of the year. In fact, the game time temperature
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: for the Cleveland team formerly known as the Indians for
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: their home opener. The Guardian's home opener was thirty two degrees, right.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: I ran out thirty two degrees for the beginning of
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: that game. So we have seen frigid conditions all over baseball.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: Anyone that plays east of the Mississippi or right at
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: that point has had very cold weather. And this has
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: led to a number of people complaining. This has led
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: to people saying it's unbelievable that baseball plays these games.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: They've got to do something about this. I've heard every
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: kind of theory from hey, they've got to play only
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: in West Coast teams early in the year or domes
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: to they should just not start the season until sometime
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: in May, and all kinds of fugazi ideas. So let's
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: activate the Malard think tank question. What is the solution
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: to Major League Baseball's cold weather dilemma? Which has popped
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: up here yet again. But there was a scene in
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: the Blue Jays Red Sox game where it looked like
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: we were back in COVID times. Everyone had like the
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: ski mask on. It was either COVID or they were
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: getting ready to rob some banks, one of those two things.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: All right, So my answer is no answer. There's no
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: need to fix this. They have been playing baseball in
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: April since what the eighteen hundreds. It's just part of
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: the delio. It's part of the delio. And the great
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: thing is that, well, baseball is considered America's pastime, at
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: least it was back in the day. I would argue
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: that the NFL is America's pastime. But the second pastime
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: behind sports is complaining. There is nothing that the human
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: being loves more than then complain your job's not good enough,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: you don't make enough money, the food you eat, socks,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: your house, blows, your cars terrible. We love to complain,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: and so it's good that baseball plays cold weather games.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: It gives you something to complain about, something to beach
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: about and say, oh it's not right, boo hoo hoo.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: Now spoiler alert, I have a small addendum to add
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: to this. Baseball players we know they play in all weather.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: That that's just the way it is. Mother Nature is
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: not on the payroll, not available. So you've got that
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: going on, and I would advise you to suck it up, Buttercup,
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: that would be my advice, professional advice. Here's what you
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: need to do. You take out and dust off the
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: farmers Almanac. You study the far Farmer's Almanac and plan accordingly.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: You know that in these early season games most of
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: the stadums are empty. Anyway, I don't blame people for
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: not going. But if you do go, get out the
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: wool socks, get out the fleece jacket, get out the turtleneck,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: and you have layers of close and you gotta prepare yourself.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: And before long your outfit's gonna change.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: If you go to baseball games, you're gonna be wearing
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: tank tops and sandals and will be one hundred and
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: forty degrees hotter than the surface of the sun. That's
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: right around the corner. So be prepared, all right. Now,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: final thought to a developing story here involving memorabilia. Say
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: what now, the Memorabila story. There's some dude. His name's
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: not important, you don't know it is anyway, So this
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: guy in southern California built a very profitable business hawking memorabilia,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: celebrity memorabilia, sports memorabilia.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: He said, oh, okay, that's fine. I'm sure a lot
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: of people do that. Well, now the guy's admitted the
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: jig is up. He's admitted the.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: Entire operation was phony, blooney, it was all deception.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: It was all deception.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: In fact, the guy played guilty this week in court
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: one count of mail fraud.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: They always get you on the mail fraud.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: A authorities uncovered a almost decade long scam. This guy
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: was forging autographs, a lot of them, and some of
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: the biggest names in entertainment in sports, including Kobe Bryant
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: not available to sun his autograph anymore, and the Kardashian Family,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: among others. And it's actually the Kardashian Family one of
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: the fake autographs there that got him in trouble with that.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: But according to the FEDS, he falsely claimed the items
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: were authentic and sometimes even would fabricate the certificate of authenticity,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: which I know, if you're in that racket, that's a
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: big deal. You gott have that. That's a hustle too, man.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: There's a place in southern California they charge a fortune,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: arm and a leg as the line goes to get
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: that stuff authenticated, and it's really.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: You have to do it. But even you're like, is
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: it really is it really legit?
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: And so this cat of course left Southern California and
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: fleed to Mexico. But he has confessed to defrauding collection.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: How much do you think those autographs were worth? How
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: about between two hundred fifty thousand and five hundred and
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: fifty thousand.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: That's a lot of money.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: That's a fair amount of money in forged memorabilia. Man,
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: he now faces up to twenty years up to his
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: weasel tterm. He's not getting twenty years, but he's gonna
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: go to jail for a little bit. Sensing hearing's gonna
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: be scheduled for August, so has got a few more
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: months to go. With the sports memorabilia market booming right,
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom, yes, boom.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: So what is the takeaway from this latest scandal? These
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: things pop up every every other month. It's a it's
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: a regular current. So my my latest advice I advice.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: I think you should know this by now if you're
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: in that world. And I know, it's really cool to
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: have sports memorabilia. And when I was in high school,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: I fetched around and was in that racket to make
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: extra bucks. I would go around as an autograph hound
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: to get autographs and then I sold them for straight
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: cash homie and so I know, I mean back in
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: those days, I'd sit outside Nolan Ryan would sign autographs
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: the last day. Everyone knew the hotels the team stayed at,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: and he'd sign autographs at the hotel the last day.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: Sometimes you do it in the stadium, and so you'd
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: go there and you get the audio everything to sell
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: it for a few bucks, and then the person that
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: you sold it to would sell it for more money
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: and all that stuff. But this is just the tip
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: of the iceberg, Okay, it just is. Fortunately, unless you
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: physically are in the room and you hand the item
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: to the person or you see it being handed over
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: and they sign it, I don't really know, Like you
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: don't know what, you don't know. Right you're in the
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: danger zone. It's kind of like juggling chainsaws in the air.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: Everywhere you're juggling chainsaws, and then you mix a machete
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: in there. You're juggling machete and chainsaws, and then you
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: add on, just for kicks, a live hand grenade and
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: you do that all at the same time, and that's
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: that's it.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: It's risky. It's risky business, is what it is.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: And the sports memorabilia business is over sixteen billion in
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: the United States. That's not a mom and pop operation.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: And we know, and I know firsthand. I mean, people
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: are willing to pay big bucks to get a little
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: slice of something that is historic. And these Charlatans men,
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: they'll take advantage of you. They will stick it to you.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: So word to the wise. It is the Bean Mahlor Show.
• 16:50

  Speaker 1: Also, Luca was ejected because he attacked a poor, helpless
• 17:12

  Speaker 1: Well, Bill, that's actually not an official an official nickname,
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: it's not, But I do have many nicknames. If you
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: want to know, somebody wants to request the nickname Rundown,
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: we will certainly do that. But I'm not just going
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: to do it on my own. Someone has to demand
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: to have the nickname run down. So we're not at
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: that point yet. Shanon Moyes says the Nuggets firing their
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: head coach at GM is something that Gunner must have suggested.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: There you go, I says, I wish he suggested that
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: to my Nashville Predators. Well, I'm guessing Gunner will not
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: be calling the show or commenting on what happened there
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: because of his Minnesota Timberwolves.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: One of the great choke jobs in the in the business.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: So Ryan says, I'm just curious how much did the
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: fake Ben Maller autograph go for?
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: That? From Ryan?
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: Actually, when I signed something, it's called vandalism. It's it
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: actually is a crime. When I when I put my
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: name on something, it does not go.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: Well, that's an idea, Ben.
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: Could I have you like eat half a bag of
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: like Bucky nuggets and.
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: Then those nuggets are so good?
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: And then I saw the other half of the bag
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: like nuggets I touched.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: Yes, I think I think they want things you've touched
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: more than me. Lorena, I don't know what that is
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: all about. I don't know why that would.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: Be charmed ideas, Ben, oh.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: Boy Charman Harmon writes and says, here's the idea to
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: fix the baseball stadiums. Rotate every stadium towards the sun.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: They all face north. They should face south like every
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: Irish front door. Says Charman. No, it's not a terrible idea.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: So I know the fielder is. The reason the stadiums
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: face that way is because they don't want the sun
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: and the eye of the field. But if you could
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: rotate the stadium on those really cold days, Coop, you
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: could have nice one.
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: You can have not every baseball stadium doesn't face the sun.
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: Do you remember it was wasn't Baker's Field?
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: Yes, that was that's right, Mallor Meetinger.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: Yes, they could they could not start they had no
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: day games. Remember, they can only play at night because
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: they built the stadium the right There must have been
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: a Polish guy that put the stadium on it. They
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: built it the wrong direction and it was there for
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: like a hundred years. And then my other part of that,
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: and Rod the ambassador of Bakersfield can back me up
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: on this. You were there Coop that night too, and
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: we got to do a first pitch with Lorraina we
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: should get and we haven't done a first pitch in
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: a while.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: It probably blow my arm out, Ben.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: Okay, well, but anyway, this minor league stadium in Bakersfield,
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: down the first baseline they had stands, but down the
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: third base line for some reason, they had like picnic tables.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: Remember that they had like there's like weird picnic tables.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: It's like they just gave up. They're like, all right,
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: we'll only have fans on one side of the stadium
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: and we'll just get rid of all the other It
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: was wild. But yeah, that's why I forgot about that.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: That ballpark in Bakersfield. They built it the wrong way.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: Ozzie was right soon says, I know that peing in
• 21:52

  Speaker 2: Go away.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Eric, who's in the o C in
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: southern California. What's going on? Eric, You're on the Ben
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: Maler show on Fox.
• 27:32
  Speaker 5: Well's going on?
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: Then?
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 27:33
  Speaker 5: So you know, I was cooking dinner and I made
• 27:35
  Speaker 5: some chicken palmasion and then, you know, once all done
• 27:40
  Speaker 5: with that, I said, I want the Lakeser game. And
• 27:43
  Speaker 5: I see the you know what will here it takes
• 27:45
  Speaker 5: me is when officials they changed out among games. Okay,
• 27:50
  Speaker 5: we got we got the technical fouls for what Luca
• 27:54
  Speaker 5: just being himself a band stream with fans. What happened
• 27:58
  Speaker 5: to day is when Wretchy Miller was going.
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: Out it with Fight three?
• 28:02
  Speaker 5: Was he ever object to send you that?
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: No?
• 28:04
  Speaker 5: Why the official so soft?
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: Now?
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, you gave your toad. First of all,
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: it's not nineteen ninety five. Okay, so it's twenty twenty,
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: it's thirty years later. So that's number one and number two.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: I would I would, I would argue that Luca got
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: himself kicked out. You don't use profanity in the Bible Belt.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: You're in Oklahoma, you don't do that.
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: What are you doing?
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 28:28
  Speaker 5: Yes, because all officials are from the Bible Belt.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: Right, so the game was played in Oklahoma. You act
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: when in Rome, act like a Roman. Okay, when in Oklahoma,
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: act like you're in the Bible Belt.
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: What are you doing? That job by you?
• 28:40
  Speaker 5: That not only that, that job by by the officials.
• 28:44
  Speaker 5: Again with the offensive golf, Now that's ridiculous.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: So why did the the Lakers are a mentally tough team,
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: why did the entire team fall apart when Luca got
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: kicked out?
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: I thought you still were great?
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: They didn't fall apart. I thought, wait, manute, I thought
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: they fell apart.
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: They didn't.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: So the Lakers they got outscored twenty nine to fourteen
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: once Luca got ejected.
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: But that doesn't count as a falling apart.
• 29:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah, because the.
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: Fish.
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: Oh you know, blame you know, you know what losers do.
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: Blame the referees.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: You're just you're just self, You're you're self incriminating.
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: You're saying you're a loser. My name is Eric and
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: I'm a loser. You're saying you're a loser. You're announcing
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: you're a loser.
• 29:23
  Speaker 5: A guy says it doubt you share it out and
• 29:26
  Speaker 5: then there's a technical foul.
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: How about how about other guys step up?
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: You tell me how great Austin Reeves is and Lebron
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: you couldn't hang in there.
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: Bad job by you.
• 29:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but then again they changed. Okay, what about the
• 29:39
  Speaker 5: three point attempt?
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: I know, because you know, my entire life, my entire life,
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: the Lakers always get the short end of the stick
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: with the referees. The referees always are out to get
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: the Lakers. The Lakers never get the benefit of the
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: down from the referees. They always can't screw my entire life,
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: my entire life, and I can't because all right, go
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: you're annoying me and you're completely wrong. I mean, my god,
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: at least next time take off your purple and gold skirt.
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: Next time you're a Laker girl over there? What's wrong
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: with you? Anyway?
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: It is the Ben Mahlers Show. So this is a
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: wild story. You talk about having a bad baseball season.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: It's only been a couple of weeks of the baseball season.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: But is there a more incompetent franchise than the Pittsburgh Pirates.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: So we mentioned in a previous episode of the show,
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Pirates had a tribute to Roberto Clemente that
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: they took off to put a beer not beer.
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: It was an alcohol add but not beer.
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: So then they got killed for it and they had
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: to put the thing back on the wall. Well, it
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: turns out that that's not the only full pot the
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: Pirates have made this year.
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: These are self inflicted wounds.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: So the Pirates, which a lot of stadiums have, you
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: know how they have those those buy a brick things
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: where you put a name. Yeah yeah, that my Disney
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: and they had them, I think in the Big a
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: they had them. A lot of ballparks I've been to
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: around the country they have these things. It's kind of
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: a cool thing. Maybe it's like seventy five one hundred bucks,
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: I don't know. And you get to they put in
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: the brick the name of maybe your kids, or your
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: dead parents, or your dead grandparents, your dead dog, and
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: they put it in the brick and then it's there,
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: and then it's great. So the Pittsburgh Pirates had that,
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: and all of a sudden this year the bricks vanished. Yeah,
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: like what happened to the bricks? And people were frustrated.
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: They were calling the local media in Pittsburgh, son what happened?
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: They wanted to know where the Bucco bricks went. They
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: were very upset. They wanted an answer, why did you
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: remove the Bucco bricks? And so it turns out we
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: now know the rest of the story. The pirates not
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: only did they get rid of the Bucco bricks with
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: the names of the loved ones of pirate fans and
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: either alive or dead. Well, katie Ka Television Pittsburgh tracked
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: down the bricks. They found the bricks. The bricks were
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: piled up like debris from a horrible storm at a
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: recycle center in Pennsylvania in a reserve township, and it's
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: where they recycle building materials.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: So they just they removed all the bricks. They didn't
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: tell anyone.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: They were doing it, and there was a giant pile
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: of all these bricks that are in you know, they've
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: got the names of the dead love warns. Yeah, yeah,
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: and they just said that's it.
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: We don't need them anymore. And there you go.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: That's your Pittsburgh pirates right there. That's your pirates. And
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: one particular gentleman from Pittsburgh was interviewed by the TV
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: station said he had one of the ten thousand bricks
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: sat there for twenty five years. So this has been
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: there for twenty five years and that's it that they
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: got rid of it. And they said, look like a
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: tornado that come through there and just piled up.
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: So there you go. Anyway, it is the Ben Mahler Show.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: It could have offered the bricks back to the people,
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: but that would have cost a lot of manpower and
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: they decided not to do that. Anyway, it is the

• 37:02
  Speaker 1: You know that. Lorena here the basketball insider here, knowing
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: right away, here we go, here we go, here we
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: go to the this.
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: Is one gets grail.
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: Well, apparently there's still a debate going on about whether
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: or not to allow NFL players to play in the
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: Olympics the flag football. Now, apparently the league office they
• 37:26
  Speaker 4: really wanted to happen. Owners of teams that are not
• 37:29
  Speaker 4: so sure they are worried about their you know, players
• 37:32
  Speaker 4: getting hurt. Now, one suggestion has been made that letting
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: a crop of freshly retired NFL players do the flag football.
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: Ben, how do you how do you feel about this
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: retired guys doing it? No, it's dumb. You know you
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: got the act and then there's no real pushback. Jerry
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: Jones is all for it. Put the players out there.
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: The players want to do it. It's flag football. It's
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: for us is put him out there, put him out there.
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: It's so stupid, bunch of below. You put the active
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: players out there, and the whole point is to try
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: to get young people to play flag football. So why
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: are you gonna put a bunch of fifty year olds
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: out there playing flag football? Makes no sense.
• 38:08
  Speaker 4: Next, Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles was asked about his
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: preferred strategy for the draft later this month, and Todd Bowles,
• 38:16
  Speaker 4: who was a defensive coordinator it surprisingly, said I never
• 38:18
  Speaker 4: want to buy pass a good offensive player to satisfy
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: defensive needs.
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: Ben, do you agree with him on that? First of all,
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: I like Todd Bowles.
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: Todd Bowles it does not play all the media games
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: and all that stuff. He doesn't put forward the narratives,
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: he doesn't say what he's supposed to say and all
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: that stuff.
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: I like it.
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: No, there's a great offensive player and you're a defensive coach,
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: you take the great offensive player.
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: This is not that difficult. This is not brain surgery.
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: Most of these guys are going to stink anyway, right,
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: I mean we I've spent hours of my life I'll
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: never get back reading these fugazy draft guides and most
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: of them are just complete fiction.
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: Okay, it's just been making crap up. It's a fair retail.
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: So you take the player you think is gonna be great,
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: whether it's the offense or not.
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: Next, for all intents and purposes, we know who's going
• 39:06
  Speaker 4: to be in the playoffs in the Western Conference.
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: We just don't know which order now. When it comes
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: to the play in.
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: Everybody says it doesn't really matter that it's gonna be
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: the Memphis Grizzlies and the Minnesota Timberwolves that advance.
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: The Kings and the Mavericks have no chance. Are you
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: agreeing with that?
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: No, because you are a well placed knee injury or
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: a twisted ankle away from the lesser team winning.
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: That's why you play the games. Cool and there it is,
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: Mallet of the thirtyree? How did we do you pass
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: the I w way it up? You're impressed, right, I
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: can't hear you. I cannot very impressed.
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: That sounded very masculine.
