• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Juan Soto.
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: Saw wing and a miss.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: So does one Soto deserve the noise he's already getting
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: for his poor clutch performance in the Mets opener. We'll
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: discuss that also where you're at on Padre star Fernando
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Tatis being caught navel gazing admiring a fly ball he
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: thought was a home run and he ended up getting
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: a single ball hit the wall. And what else stood
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: out on opening day? Including an Otani home run, the
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Angels doing the unimaginable, and a whole lot more. It's
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: all coming your way right here in our number two,

• 1:49
  Speaker 3: Our buddy Larrow Junior who's.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: In Boston and when I worked at the other station
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: in Boston there he was my guy.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: Helped me out as a producer.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: So tirerac dot com the way tire buying showy and.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: So our lead this hour is from baseball.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: I had a good time. I don't know if you
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: saw a bunch of the games. I got up relatively.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Early for me, mainly because I don't sleep well, but
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: I was excited. I've always loved Opening Day. I used
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: to ditch school for Opening Day as I felt like
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: it was a holiday and.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: I needed to miss school. It was more important. I
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: watched some ball.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: So the new beginning, and the biggest name to change
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: teams this offseason was mister Moneybags himself, who made his
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: debut with his new team. Nobody watches the spring training game,
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: so this was the game that mattered. We're talking, of course,
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: of outfielder Wan money Bag Soto, who got to debut
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: his New York Mets laundry for the first time in
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: a regular season game. So I don't know if she's
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: you're watching this, maybe not. The Metropolitans were playing the
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: cheating as one one thousand and two, one thousand holes
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: and one.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: Soto.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: Now, he did get on base three times, okay, three
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: times on base. He had a single and a couple
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: of walks. However, that is not the story. Don't bury
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: the lead, my man. So the story here the final
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: at bat, that is the focus. The Mets come to
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: home plate. They're trailing three to one against the cheating
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: astro So down three to one one, Soto steps into
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: the box. There's two out in the top of the
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: ninth inning, runners on the corner, so the tying runs
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: are on.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: Soto represents the winning run.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Conceivably would still have to get Houston out in the bottom.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: Of the ninth, but the the.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Asstros closer Josh Hater is on the mound, so Soto
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: steps into the batter's box. Pitch one's a ball, Pitch
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: two is a ball. Two Ozero count hitters count two
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: to zero. Pitch three and one. Sodo digs in. He
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: chokes up on the bat and stands there and watches
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: the pitch go by ball three.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: So now it's the ultimate ultimate.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Pitchers count or hitters count rather, because the pitcher doesn't
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: want to walk Sodo because then the tying ronal being
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: scoring position, and all the Mets would need is a
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: base hit.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: So it's a three to zero count.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Surely one, Sodo is gonna swing the bat, because why
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: would you not swing the bat?
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: You your seven hundred and sixty five million dollars man.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: So three and zero one, Soto stands there and watches
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: the pitch zoom by star Reik one, So it's a
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: it's a three to one, but he's still in good shade.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: Three to one. Still, hitters count, So.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: Three to one pitch by Josh Hater. He fouls the.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Pitch off bab ball all right, So now it's a
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: three to two count all of a sudden, so he's one.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Soto's gone from a three to zero count hitters count
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: three to one count.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: Hitters count.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: Now it's three to two. Not so good, but still
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: the pitcher has to throw strike. So Josh had settles in.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: He throws the pitch and it's a slider lo andohy,
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: it's ball four, right, ball four, but numb nuts runs.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Juan Soto meekly swings and it wasn't even really a swing,
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: like it was like half swing, but it counted as
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: a swing. He chased a slider that went out of
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: the zone. Good afternoon, good evening, and good night. As
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: the cheating a holes.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: Won the game.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Now, following the loss, what do you think happened? It
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: was a dog pile, dog pile on Juan Soto and
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: the Metropolitan. So let us discuss the question. I know
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: it's only it's only one game. We're doing the talk
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: show today. We're doing the show today. So does one
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: Soto deserve the noise he's already getting for his lackluster
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: performance in the clutch for the Mets. So my observations
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: on this, I've got boxing, Amazon, Prime, and Alaskan and
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: we will combine all of these things together and we
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: are gonna make the Gabba ghool.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: We're gonna make the Gabba goool, all right? So number one.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Number one?
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, all right.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: So to answer the question, does Wan Soto deserve all
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: the noise for his unclutch performance in the Mets opener?
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: I am nodding my head, Yes, I am nodding my eyes.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: And here's why. All right, you should be nice.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: No, it is a make or miss league, okay, and
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: sowing about a swing about a whiff.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: He whiffed.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: An opening day is worth like ten games because people
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: stop paying attention after opening day. They do. These first
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: games of the season are magnified, they get covered like
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: they mean more. And so Juan Soto is the leading man,
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: he is the top performer. He is at the very
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: center of the stage. He is in the eye of
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: the storm. And it's part of the all inclusive package.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: Seven one hundred and sixty five million dollars and the
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: great boxing promoter Don King still alive, somehow still alive,
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: living in Florida, and Don King one time one of
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: the great rants of all time. He talked about a boxer.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: But it applies to Juan Soto. When you're in the
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: position of Juan Soto, you are scrutinized, despised, politicized, dramatized,
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: chastise analyzed, moralized, stigmatized, sensationalized, and criticized more than anyone else.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: So you're getting paid seven hundred and sixty five million,
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: and so what you do is you go up to
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: your penthouse apartment at the very top on for one
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: hundred and who cares if you're a punching bag and one.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: Sodo has always.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Been the kind of guy who's this smug dude.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: He's very easy to hate on.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: He's got this smarmy arrogance to him. Like it doesn't
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: seem like the Mets fan base would really embrace a
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: guy like Juan Soto. He seems like the antithesis of
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: the of the Mets fan base, and the Mets fan
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: base is annoying, but they're not arrogant annoying.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: See that's the Yankees. The Yankees are arrogant annoying now
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: page two here.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: So the one of the other story lights, the Podres
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: are expected to be a contender, not They're not gonna
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: win the nationally West. The Dodgers, I think have already
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: wrapped that up. But one of the funny things that
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: happened on opening day was in San Diego's win over
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: the Atlanta Braves. Where are you at on Podre star
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: Fernando Tatis being caught admiring he was naval gazing a
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: fly ball, which would have been fine if it had
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: gone into the stands, but Instead, it bounced off the
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: wall and he ended up getting a single, one of
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: the longest singles in baseball history. So forget the whole
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: opening day thing. Fernando to tease in mid season form, right,
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: he has always been bold and shameless, and why wait
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: until June or July to get the party started. Bring
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: the razzle dazzle. You got to bring the razzle dazzle,
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: you got to. He immediately broke into the checked me
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: out jog around the bases like the dudes I see
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: at the gym when they walked by the mirrors and
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: they're they're they're flexing and looking at how great they
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: look in the mirror. It was that kind of thing, right,
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: which again would have been fine if the ball had
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: gone in the stands. It did not, And I saw
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: this same thing happen years ago. A teammate now teammate
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: of Juan or Fernando Titties, Manny Machado. Manny Machado briefly
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: played for the Dodgers. They were playing the Red Sox
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: in the World Series. This goes back a few years
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: and Machado hit a ball off the wall in the
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: World Series against Boston was at Dodger stadium, and he
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: was just enjoying it.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: He wanted to enjoy the moment. He was smelling himself
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: a little bit.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: And then he ended up at first base because the
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: ball hit off the wall and he didn't know what
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: to do. I had no idea what do? Uh?
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, caught Peeker.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: Now as for Tatis, Fernando Tatis, we believe that what
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: he's really doing here is waiting for his Amazon Prime
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: delivery and he's trying to get that shipment of that
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: ringworm medication.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: Wink wink wing.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: See all he needs is that ringworm medication. Then that
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: ball goes in the stands, if you know, you know,
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: all right? Now? Final point? So what else wide angle lens,
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: wide angle lens? What else stood out on opening Day? Well,
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: we had the Dodgers against the top pitcher in the
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: American League. Show showtime did it again? Dodgers are now
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: three and zero. Otani hit a dinger And at what
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: point will this become annoying? The story was not the
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: Otani home run. The story was the ti Oscar Hernandez
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: three run homer, because that turned the game upside down.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: That was the game winning mortal blow that did in
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: the Tigers and their cy young pitcher Schooble did him in.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: But yet the headline is Otani go deep. Dodgers were
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: beat the Tigers, but Otani nout a couple of home runs.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: The Dodgers have played three games, so he's right there.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: How about the Chicago White Sox, who are supposed to
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: be baseball's worst team, but for one day they had
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: the atomic elbow for the pathetic Angels eight to one,
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: that the game was.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: Actually closer than that.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: The White Sox put up a five spot in the
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: eighth inning, they blew the game open. And someone named
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: Sean Burke who hasn't been around very long, and he
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: started Opening Day. The White Socks have nobody else and
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: while he was out there, he shut down that pathetic
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: Angels lineup. So it was so bad for the Angels.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: How bad was it? Position player Nicki Lopez? That sounds
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: like a singer. Nicki Lopez pitched in the ninth inning
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: there the or the eighth inning, rather the for the
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: Angel He came in a position player pitching against the
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: White Sox on opening Day, on Opening Day, So how
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: would you describe the vibe around the Angels?
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: How would you describe that.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: So the vibe around the Angels after losing to the
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: White Sox eight to one of the opener, it's like
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: an Alaskan Alaskan weather report.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: Gloomy and gray, gloomy and gray.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: You know, Juno Alaska. Fun fact, fun fact, fun fact,
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: Juno Alaska has the most cloudy days in American territory.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: I know it's not north of I know it's not
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: the continuous forty eight, but Alaska's part of America.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: They have two hundred and eighty days a year with
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: cloud cover.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: In Juno, Alaska. Shout out to our listeners in Juneo, Alaska. Yeah,
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: we're hanging out. We're on earlier in Alaska now. Terry
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: Francona had a very tough opener his day for the
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: Cincinnati Reds, and I expect Cincinnati to be via a
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: fringe contender with Francona's leadership.
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: They did not get off to a good start, losing
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: to the Agantes.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: You had the phenom of Phenom's Paul Skeens on the
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: mound for the Buckos the Pirates. He went five and
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: a third innings and he gave up a couple of
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: runs left the game and the Pirates were winning, and
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: they had lost by a walk off to the lowly Marlins.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: So we'll be pirate baseball, Paul Skeens and pray for rain.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: You had somebody named wheel Air Abreu who hit a
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: three run homer in the ninth the Red Sox. That
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: was his second home run of the game, and they
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: beat the Rangers five to two. So the Socks off
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: to a good start there. Austin Wells, remember we had
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: mentioned Austin Wells, the catcher was batting leadoff. First time
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: in Yankee history that a catcher was batting leadoff, and
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: Wells the first catcher, whether it's the Yankees or anyone else,
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: to hit an opening day leadoff home run. You usually
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: catchers don't bat lead off. You're not doing that well
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: if your catchers bat leadoff. But Austin Wells hit home run,
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: So first time in baseball history that's happened. The Nationals
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: had a great pitching performance and then still lost to
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: Bryce Harper and the Fighting Phils.
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: But for the rest of time, every time Bryce Harper
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: goes to DC, boom boom.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: And rightfully so rightfully fans still booing him at Nationals Park.
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: He homered again and that's it.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: And how about the story in Seattle, the Seattle baseball
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: team versus the Sacramento baseball team that's so embarrassed by
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: being in Sacramento, they don't want to admit they're in Sacramento.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: Before that game, though, the story Hall of Famer fifty
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: one year old echa Row Suzuki. So he threw out
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: the first pitch. Did you see this?
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: No?
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: All right, he's he's fifty one. He wears uniform number
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: fifty one. He came out of the Seattle dugout wearing
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: a full Mariner uniform. He had the pants, he had,
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: he had the hat.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: The jersey, the whole thing.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: And he went out to the mound and he threw
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: an eighty four mile an hour opening pitch on the
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: radar in full uniform, in full uniform, which I think
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: is faster than half the Marinder pitching staff. I think
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: he has a better arm than half the Marinder pitching staff.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: So very sentimental, sentimental moment there in Seattle. If you
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: would like to be part, you can join us right now.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: And if I did not mention something that you saw
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: on opening day that you're like, well, I saw something
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: that you didn't mention and what I saw is better
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: and why didn't you mention it? And you're not good
• 16:53

• 18:52

• 18:54
  Speaker 3: And now back.
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: To the show. Well, that's right and uh and Bill
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: will do the it's a respect thing coming up. Also
• 19:04

  Speaker 2: as well. Your phone calls will have the incht to Trivia,
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: which will be coming your way a little bit later
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: this hour or so. A lot, a lot to get to.
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: And I teased this last hour and I did not
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: pay it off. That's a bad job by me, The
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: Great Fat Hope, the Great Fat Oh it's not lizo
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: Lizo jokes are next hour. Do you know who Desmond
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: Watson is? Are you familiar with his game? No?
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: You don't.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: You don't know who that. So Desmond Watson is a
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: defensive tackle from the University of Florida and in Gainesville.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: They had their pro day this week and Desmond was,
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: you know, it's like the underwear Olympics. So they measure
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: you and they poking Pradia and all that. And when
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: you get around my man, Desmond Watson, it's like the
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: Pillsbury dough boy. You poke him, and there's a lot
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: to poke. He is six foot six, four hundred and
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: sixty four pounds, he's almost five hundred pounds, and he
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: worked out in front of NFL talent evaluators yesterday and
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: it is why this guy's he's in true he's like
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: fit fat, He's in really good as good as shape
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: as you can be when you're almost five hundred pounds.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: He wrapped two hundred and twenty five pounds thirty six times,
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: thirty six time. Try doing that. Sometimes go to the
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: gym and try to just randomly put up two hundred
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: twenty five pounds thirty six times. By the way, that
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: means he is stronger at the bench press than anyone
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: who was at the combine in Indianapolis. This what you
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: would call a fat ass. This kid Watson is able
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: to bench press more reps than any player who was
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: on the Cool Kids List and invited to the NFL Combine,
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: which he was not invited to. How fast do you
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: think he ran the forty yard dashtime? Almost five hundred pounds.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: You probably think it took him about ten minutes to
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: run the forty yard dash. No, no, you're wrong.
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: You're absolutely wrong.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: Desmond Watson ran the forty yard dash in five point
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: nine to three seconds. But wait, there's more. He recorded
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: twenty five inches in the vertical jump. So the forty
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: yard dash thing always always kills me. The only reason
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: they have the forty yard dash is it's a test
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: to see if you can be on the punt team.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: Does anyone think that four hundred and sixty four pound
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: Desmond Watson is going to be on the punt team.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: I think it was Paul Brown who decided to measure
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: player's speed on the forty yard dash, because when you
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: were punting, that's how far you had to usually run
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: to cover of punt, was forty yards. Now it's become
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: a whole thing. It's you know, it's just my guy anyway,
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: So there it is. That is my player.
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: I'm pulling for.
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: Just amazing bench press and massive, massive human being. And
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: if he is drafted, he will be the fattest player
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: ever drafted by eighty pounds. By eighty pounds, he will
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: be the heaviest NFL players ever drafted, worth three hundred
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: and eighty pounds. I was an offensive lineman from who's
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: I played, actually played a long time in the NFL,
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: Trent Brown, who was three hundred eighty pounds for Florida
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: back in twenty fifteen. And then there was a player
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: from the University of Minnesota, Daniel Blalel. I believe it's
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: how you say his name. I'm probably butchering that, but
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: there you go. So Watson. I mean, if you do
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: the math, it's actually he's they were three eighty and
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: he's four sixty four, So that's eighty four pounds and
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: you round up and then you round up to ninety
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: or one hundred. So, man, I hope the Rams draft
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: this guy. We need a big fatty. If the Rams
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: draft that guy, I'll get his jersey. How about that?
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: And I think I'm too old to wear jerseys because
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: I think once you get to a certain age, you
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: can't wear jerseys anymore, but I'll wear one. I'll wear
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: a Desmond Watson. He better be like number one hundred.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: They should allow him to be number one hundred.
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: They should.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: That should be an honor. If you're over four hundred
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: and fifty pounds, you should get to wear number one hundred.
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: Does anyone say no? Does anyone say no? If you're
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: over four point fifty in.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: The NFL you get to wear one hundred. You can
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: be the first player to wear number one hundred. Be wonderful.
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: Make it happen.
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: He's got plenty of room. I mean, the guy's built
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: like like a mack truck. Why not, man, it is
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: the Ben Mahler Show. Kathy in Madison says, I need
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: to sleep, Benny. I'll see you in my dreams. Oh, Kathy,
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: you're leaving the show. Kathy the hey mona woman leaving

• 24:24
  Speaker 2: Fergy from Siberia in Fullerton. He says, sure, the Angels
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: lost by seven runs, but Trouty had some good swings
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: out there. I'm not hitting the panic button. It's great
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: John Tortorella, who's now unemployed towarts as he was let
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: go by the Philadelphia Flyers. Some of the greatest quotes
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: in the history in the history of hockey, John Toterella.
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: And there's more to that story.
• 24:56

  Speaker 2: big Ben Hey.

  Speaker 1: Hey yeah, sorry, getting out of my.
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: Pool must be tough.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's awful. It's awful. I almost got my asstick
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: by tell me Lasorda, Yeah.
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: What happened? He can't kick your ass right now, unfortunately,
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: but no.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: No, no no, But this was my senior year of
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: high school and he was.
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: I was.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: They used to run the bridge and Vera Beach and
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: UH for spring training and we had two bridges and
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: they used to run the big bridge. I had a
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: real piece of crap car and pull up next to
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: him as they're running it with my friend and UH.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: I said they had just signed Darryl Strawberry. And I
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: probably shouldn't have said this. I definitely shouldn't have said this,
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: but I said, hey at coach Disorta, hey, if if
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: Darryl snorts the ridfield line, you're going to have to
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: replace it. He said, you get this piece of crap
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: off those bridge, or'll throw you out of your damn star.
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: Well that is irony, because if that wasn't that like
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: a couple of weeks later where Darryl Strawberry went on
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: a bender and they couldn't find him. He went missing
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: because he when they got back to La to play
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: the Freeway series, he disappeared because he went on a
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: coke bender. I believe that's what he was, some kind
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: of drug bender.
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, pretty well, I.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: Wonder, I wonder, I wonder if I triggered him.
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well I bet that was sort of the sort
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: of had to know, right, he had to know that
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: everyone in baseball knew that Strawberry that Oh no, no.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: He knew, Yeah, he knew.
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: He had to know. Yeah, he had to know. Yeah, well, Tommy,
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: there were there were you know, Tommy had multiple personalities.
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: I knew him a little bit, uh, the last probably
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: like fifteen years of his life or whatever. But he yeah,
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: he could be like mister sweet guy with the cameras
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: and then if they if they somebody upset him or
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: the Dodgers lost, oh man, he could legendary, legendary.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: Two weeks ago, you were talking about the Kerpa and
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: and I was like, oh my god, I gotta I
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: gotta call him.
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah no, yeah, that's that's great. Yeah, but can hit water.

• 28:55
  Speaker 2: U the short fat Italian or something, and the sort
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: of didn't like that for some reason. And then just
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: uh just unloaded, just absolutely unloaded. And the other one,
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: which is more famous is the Kingman's performance. And the
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: great thing about that is, I.
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: Mean, what kind of question is that the guy?
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: That guy went out there and but the funny thing
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: is that that that got Paul Olden was the radio
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: stringer and he's been the he's the public address announcer
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: for the New York Yankees, and he's been doing that

• 29:39
  Speaker 2: you call it a radio show, you tell your story
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: about It would have been a better story if for
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: Sorda had run you off the bridge and you had
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: fallen into a body of water in in Vero Beach,
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: or as the players called it back then, zero Beach,
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: back back in the day. And uh yeah, my Vero
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: Beach story. Real quick, I've told.
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: This many times.
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: If you've heard it, just fast forward through the broadcast.
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: So I went to Vera Beach.
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: I was doing the radio back to La from Vero
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: Beach and this this guy named Tommy Hawkins, very nice
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: man was basketball player, was a Dodger executive and so
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: I had never been to Vera Beach before. So I
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: got there for spring training. I said, boy, Tommy, this
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: is exciting. And you know, we had a little time
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: off on the weekends, and so I'd like to go
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: out and enjoy the night life. And what's the hottest bar.
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: You know, I was a single guy at the time.
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: What's the what's the bar.
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: To go through with all the beautiful women? And Tommy said,
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: don't worry, Ben, I got you. Uh, And then he
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: named this this bar, which was like in the next
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: town over from Vero Beach. He said, that's the spot,
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: that's the happening spot. So I was doing this Ben
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: and Dave show with my partner Dave Smith. So we
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: we went to this this bar, which again highly recommended
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: by by Tommy Hawkins. And we we walked in there.
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: We were we were feeling pretty good. We're like, oh man,
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: this is gonna go great. This is the top spot.
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: We've got the recommendation. And we walked in there and
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: hand to God, the youngest now keeping right, I was
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: in my probably late twenties. Maybe I might have been
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: even younger than that. I think might have been my mid twenties.
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: But whatever, I walk in there. The youngest woman in
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: there was probably about seventy was probably about seventy.
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: And that was the that was the happening spot, you know.
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: Not that I have a problem with seventy year old women,
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: but when you're twenty five, you're thinking, you know, and
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: that's the hot spot. You're thinking, Man, things are going
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: well here, this is gonna you know, maybe maybe someone
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: under the age of fifty might be in there, but
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: did not did not happen. So so it's unfortunate. Unfortunate.
• 31:46

  Speaker 6: All right?
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: Cool well.
• 38:19
  Speaker 7: Loop Adam Schefter reported on Wednesday that a Duel Carter
• 38:23
  Speaker 7: is likely to pick be picked number two overall by
• 38:25
  Speaker 7: the Cleveland Browns. Then do you think passing on a
• 38:28
  Speaker 7: quarterback is the right move for Cleveland?
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Because these guys aren't that good. It's not a
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: great quarterback draft. The only reason that the conversation is
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: cam Ward Intruder Sanders at the top is because they're
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: the most the most important position. Normally they'd be second
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: round picks, and they're talking about drafting. But at the
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: top of Duel Carter's the guy's a monster. He's a
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: great player, and I would take him number one overall
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: is what I would do if I was Tennessee. I
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: would just draft a Duel Carter.
• 38:56
  Speaker 7: Next, there's a proposal to move touchbacks out to the
• 38:59
  Speaker 7: thirty five yard line. Now, the NFL believes that if
• 39:01
  Speaker 7: this proposal passes, it'll double the number of kickoffs returned, Ben,
• 39:06
  Speaker 7: do you think those extra five yards will make such
• 39:07
  Speaker 7: a dramatic difference.
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: No, it won't.
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: They'd have to put the ball to fifty yard line.
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: The mischie gos that these coaches do. They're like, no,
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: we'll just we'll thirty five yards. We'll be fine.
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: The NFL doesn't.
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: Really care about the kickoff anyway.
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: They have absolutely neutered the kickoff. We want more kick stop.
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: You know, you're just you're talking out of both sides
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: of your mouth.
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: Next.
• 39:33
  Speaker 7: Now, the White Socks are on pace to win one
• 39:34
  Speaker 7: hundred and sixty two games, but they've been given a
• 39:37
  Speaker 7: historically low win total by Vegas oddsmakers fifty three and
• 39:41
  Speaker 7: a half wins, which is still twelve and a half
• 39:42
  Speaker 7: more than they had last season.
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: Ben, you're taking the over the under?
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I would actually bet the over on this. Last
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: year was a fluke. They'll be bad.
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: But you're still going to win sixty games. How did
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: we do we pass? That is a win? The Angels
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: didn't pass?
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: Who if they failed they've alw s
