  Speaker 2: Can wait it just can coast to coast border to
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: border and beyond on the vast and majestically powerful microphones
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: of fsr emanating live from the dream just living the
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: dream in the middle of the night guaranteed human from
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: the world famous black sports radio studios Where many legends,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: many a legend, have walked through these hallways. Big names
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: like Rich Herrera, who I think is a political pundit
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: at this point.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Early talk show host here. Bob Golick worked here back
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: in the old days with Rich. Bob Page. Many, many legends.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Many legends.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Anyway, nonetheless, Kev Atomic reached out. He said, hey, Maller,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: we would really like you to talk about Express.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: I said, okay, Kev Atomic. We'll do that.

• 2:55
  Speaker 2: he's the retired cabbie, he reached out, and I think
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: it was... I believe it was FaZe from Chicago. And
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: they said, hey, Mallory, I don't know what to watch
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: this weekend. So I said, I'll help you out, boys.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: NFL Week 5 is here, and it's a biggin'. It
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: is a biggin'. The Bears and Packers.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: When they get together, you throw out the records.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Sunday's America's Game of the Week, streaming live on Fox 1.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: That's Fox number one, Fox 1. Miss it live, and
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: you're just watching a highlight. Catch every play as it happens.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Bears to Bears.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: And the Cheeseheads, the Packers live on Fox 1. So
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: check it out this weekend. Continuing our in-depth team coverage
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: of the Major League Baseball playoffs, we had a gaggle
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: of games on hump day. Three of the series came
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: to a crashing end. Three of the series came to
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: a crashing end. One of them continued will have the
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: White Sox and the Guardians in prime time.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: In prime time. That'll be coming up later on. Who's
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: going to be watching that?
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: I guess another night I've got to flip around with
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: my freaking remote control because I've got the Cowboy game
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: and then I've got to watch.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: The baseball game.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: So my right hand will be getting a workout as
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: I work my way through the TV trying to watch
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: both games at the same time.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: It's not going to be that difficult. Because the Cowboy game.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of timeouts in the NFL. And while
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: I did pick Tampa Bay, I think I'm going to
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: need a backdoor cover in that game.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Which I very well could get. That's why I took them.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: But nonetheless, let's not bury the lead because we got
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: to get to San Diego, the city my radio dream
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: started in many years ago. The NLDS Game 4 from SoCal.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: There you go, the Padres trying to stave off elimination
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: while the Brew crew were looking to punch their ticket
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: into the Final Four.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Were you engaged? Were you locked in here? No, you
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: were not? Okay, perhaps you missed it.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: So Milwaukee KO'd San Diego 3-1 in the Final in
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: game number four of the NLDS. So that is all
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: she wrote.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Na-na-na-na! Na-na-na-na! Hey, hey, goodbye to the Padres.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: So Milwaukee advances to the NLCS for the second straight year.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: And the hero, was it Jackson Choreo again?
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: No!
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Somebody named Garrett Mitchell put on his cape, and he
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: was the man to save the day. Garrett Mitchell had
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: a ribby single. tripled and scored the go-ahead run and
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: more importantly robbed Manny Machado that annoying Manny Machado of
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: a game-tying home run in the eighth inning and the
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: Padre fan tried to interfere unable to interfere and Machado
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: credited with a very long out And the 103-win Brew
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: Crew snap a 12-game postseason road losing streak.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: That went all the way back to 2018. Next up,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: the D-O-D-G-E-R-S Dodgers.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: A rematch of last October's dud of a National League
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Championship Series as it was a sweep-a-roo for the boys
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: in blue. Now, game one is Sunday in Wisconsin. And
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: the Miz is expected to start for the Milwaukee baseball team.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Jacob Mizorowski will be on the mound. And Tarek Skubal
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: for the Dodgers. So technically the Brewers have home field advantage. However,
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: the Dodgers are likely going to send Skubal out in
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: game one. And then they're going to send out Yamamoto
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: in game number two. That's Marcel's favorite pitcher, right? You're
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: a big fan, Marcel, of Yoshinobu Yamamoto?
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Yes? All right. I see you. I guess you're quiet, Marcel.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: You don't want to talk. Interesting. All right. Well, the
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: better story here.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: I can only play the drops if they're played. The
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: better story here is with the Padres and all that money,
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: all those big boppers, and they are eliminated.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Eliminated.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: So that is a good jumping off point. Let us
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: discuss the question. Who gets the biggest blame taco? for
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: the Padres gagging against the Cheeseheads from Wisconsin. So I've
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: got Booking.com, Delta Airlines, and SpongeBob SquarePants.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: And we will mix and match.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: And combine all these together, and we will rally.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: The troops is what we're going to do.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: So to lead off here, the Padres have more star
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: power than a Hollywood premiere.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Despite being in sleepy San Diego, nice.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: Military town San Diego, the Padres get all this star power,
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: and then we get to October, and they have less
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: production in the postseason than a closed steel mill.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: It's not good. It's not good.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: So another postseason has come and gone, another industrial strength
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: wedgie for the Padres. Their baseball's Charlie Brown, forever watching
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: Lucy pull away the football in the postseason.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: 90 wins.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: I think that's three consecutive 90-plus win seasons for the Padres.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: And yet, same story.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: They went down to Booking.com and got a one-way ticket
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: to Cabo, the annual rite of passage for the San
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: Diego baseball team.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: That is their vacation package. It's a nice parting gift.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: So pitching actually kept the Padres neck and neck with.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: The brew crew. Nobody blew anyone out in this series.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: And so the pitching kept them competitive, but it was
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: the offense that couldn't carry a grocery bag across the
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: parking lot. And it's weird because the offense wasn't good enough.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: The pod rate pitching was pretty good, except the one
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: guy who you said was not going to be a
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: problem was a problem.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: Mason Miller... underwent a full.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: Metamorphosis going from regular season goat to playoff scapegoat. Now, remember,
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: all goats smell, and they have flies around their face
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: and all that.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: But he was a scapegoat, and he deserved it.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: Blowing game two, walk, walk, walk, and then Jackson Churrio,
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: the hero.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Now, how about Fernando Tatis Jr.? Where is he at?
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: Let's give him some love.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: Here.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Absolutely.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: Yes, my guy, Fernando Tatis Jr. He was a capital P,
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: pathetic for most of this series, supposed to be the
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: leading man. And it turned out that he was an
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: extra in his own disaster movie. An apathetic performance for
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: the first three games. He was one for 14 in
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: this series. So somebody needs to get that man to
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: Walgreens for some ringworm medication, if you know what I mean.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: Always better with that ringworm medication. So Lady Luck be
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: wearing a Brewer's onesie, as it turns out. Didn't have
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: Lady Luck wearing a Brewer's onesie, but there she was.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: Between Milwaukee's defense and that roof... The architecture playing well,
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: playing well for the home team. San Diego got beat
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: by an entire city's construction, the Dome in Milwaukee. So
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: the Padres are too rich to be poor. They're too
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: poor to be champions. And they're still without an appearance
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: in the Fall Classic since, what, 1998?
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: I was like a little kid in 1998. I mean,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: I've seen it.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: Grainy highlights on MLB videos on YouTube of Mark Langston
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: pitching game one and Tino Martinez hitting a upper deck bomb.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: For the Yankees. I mean, my God. All right. Furthermore,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: let's get to football. Enough of the baseball. Let's go
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: to the football. We have a shakeup in Houston.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: Shakeup in Houston in the NFL. Did the Texans say
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: bye-bye to D'Amico.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: Ryans, their head coach? No, they did not.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: The Texas coach, D'Amico Ryan, is announcing that he is
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: taking defensive play calling duties away from the defensive coordinator,
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: somebody named Matt Burke.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: So Matt Burke not fired, just demoted.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: Houston is 0-4, and the defense has fallen apart.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Fallen apart.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: Texans are allowing over 27 points per game. And over
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: 340 yards of offense per game compared to last year
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: when they allowed 17 points per game. That's 10 points less.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: And 277 yards of offense. You can do the math
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: on that. That is 76 yards more this year of
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: offense and 10 more points per game. Houston has already
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: blown late leads in not one, not two, but three
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: of their four losses. Bad teams lose close games. including
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: that nice choke job against the Dallas Cowboys this past weekend.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: So get to the point, please.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: D'Amico Ryan, he tried to accept responsibility, declaring, it all
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: starts with me, and promising improved defensive communication. Apparently the
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: editing staff did not determine that sound bite.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: Worthy of being put in the system.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: All right, so the question, what does D'Amico Ryan's decision
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: to take over the defensive play calling reveal about the
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: leadership crisis inside the Texans facility? So the Texans are
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: trapped in what we call the cycle.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: It's the cycle of suck.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: You lose games, you panic, and You shuffle responsibilities around.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: Like you're at the Bellagio shuffling cards.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: Somebody gets demoted, in this case the defensive coordinator, and
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: everybody pretends that you've discovered the panacea.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: You've figured out the cure. So I couldn't pick Matt
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: Burke out of some kind of lineup of criminals.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: I couldn't tell you what he looks like. I don't
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: really know much about him. I've read a little bit
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: on the interweb. Matt Burke keeping his defensive coordinator title
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: after losing play-calling duties to D'Amico Ryans is a classic
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: NFL demotion disguised as a collaborative workplace initiative.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: It's the big corporate jargon thing.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: It's like being the head chef after somebody took away
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: your stove.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: It's going to be very difficult, very, very difficult to
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: cook in that kitchen. When you don't have a stove.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: So Domingo Ryans did not have the balls to fire
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: his defensive coordinator. He just removed the batteries from the
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: remote controls.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: Ah, listen, it won't work, so we're fine. We'll just
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: keep this guy around.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: It's kind of like telling the Delta Airlines pilot that, hey,
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: you're doing a really good job.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: Frickin' great.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: You're doing a great job there. We're really happy with
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: you here at Delta Airlines. And then you ask the pilot,
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: can you kindly move to the back, to the.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: Coach section of the airplane? What? What are you talking about?
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: So Houston's season has become a slinky, tumbling down, down, down, down, down,
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: a never-ending.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Staircase of mediocrity.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: And when I say they're in the cycle of suck,
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: it's this season.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: They've made the playoffs, but.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: That's more a product of being in the right division.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: If they were in a real division that had good teams,
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: the Texans would not have made the playoffs at all
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: any of these years. So Houston's season's a mess. They're
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: rearranging the sofa right now, the side table, the lamp,
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: as the house sinks into a swamp at this particular moment. Meanwhile,
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: we go to Jersey, last thing, to Jersey where Aaron
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: Glenn is in battle.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: He just doesn't realize he's in battle.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: Aaron Glenn, the head coach there with the team that
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: wears green, has a 4-17 record. That is a 190
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: winning percentage in his first 21 games as Jets head coach.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: But Aaron Glenn, speaking with reporters this week, says he
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: remains encouraged by the backing he's receiving from Woody Johnson,
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: the owner. So Aaron Glenn described his relationship with Woody
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: Johnson as, quote, real good, emphasizing Aaron Glenn that the
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: communication and everything that they have to do together, the
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: owner and the coach, continue to be great. And Woody
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: Johnson fully supports the coaching staff, despite a miserable record. Now,
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: Glenn indicated that he and Woody Johnson have developed a
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: personal friendship, the kind of relationship that goes beyond just
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: a working relationship.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: And Glenn views this as very important, very, very important.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: All right, question. Let me ask you this.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: Why should any man, woman, or child care that Jets
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: coach Woody Johnson or Jets coach Aaron Glenn and owner Woody.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: Johnson are buddies.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: Again, why should any man, woman, or child care that
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: Jets coach Aaron Glenn and owner Woody Johnson are buddies?
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: Glenn's 4-17. Nobody hired Aaron Glenn to be Woody Johnson's bestie.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: They hired him. This is going to blow you away.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: Nobody else has this take. It's an original take. They
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: hired him to win football games.
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: Oh, come on, Maller. What are you doing, Maller?
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: Shockingly, despite all the corporate bull crap and all the money,
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: this is a results-based business, and Glenn seems completely, completely confused.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: He's frazzled about the job description, and so the Jets
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: are drowning in the Hudson River, and Aaron Glenn is
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: bragging about how.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: Much the captain... really loves him.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: Just, you know, listen, we're drowning, the boat's going down,
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: but man, oh man, the captain of the boat really
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: likes me. You can't make this up. You cannot make
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: this up. This is professional football, not some kind of
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: country club in Westchester.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: It's not. You're not at the Sleepy Hollow Country Club.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: Nobody cares how many friends you have in the executive
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: dining room. Now, the great former Falcons coach Jerry Glanville
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: famously said the NFL stands for not for long. Aaron
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: Glenn is trying to change that. He believes the NFL
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: stands for nepotism, friendship, and loyalty. I'm more in line

• 23:51
  Speaker 2: planking is the answer.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: What else do we have? Eating gummy bears.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: One of my buddies, this guy named Jay, I've known
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: him for years, and he is trying to get at
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: Trader Joe's. There's supposedly some gummies that make you poop,
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: and they haven't had them.
• 24:09
  Speaker 6: Yeah, they're like high fiber.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, but they've been out of stock, and he
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: keeps harassing the people at Trader Joe's trying to find
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: out when they're going to have them in. And they
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: keep pushing back to date. And he really wants to
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: take a nice poo based on gummy bears.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: What else do we have? Let's see.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: Eating pizza rolls from Dante. That's his answer. Lighting farts
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: with a Bic lighter from Johnny Q. Very important that
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: you include the Bic lighter.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: Very important.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: Dante had the eating pizza rolls. Our buddy Michael from
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: Tulsa says drinking both red and blue drinks at the
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: same time.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: Craig says the fitness influencer got caught taking blank.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: Well, you actually got it right, I think, but maybe
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: you're wrong. I don't know.
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: Not blind Austin in Bakersfield smoking a doobie is the answer.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: The Juice says the influencer got caught shoveling a double
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: whopper with cheese down the old pie hole.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: What else do we have?
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: Caught twerking her way to victory from the Ben Maller
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: Show quote account.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: Our buddy Joe the Ghost Hunter, we met him at

• 25:24
  Speaker 2: finger discount the five finger.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: Discount uh what else do we have page down uh.
• 25:29

  Speaker 2: man hippie oh my god guzzling german beer every water
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: stop from mike the leprechaun Page down. I can't read that.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: All right. That's probably enough. Lorena, do you have an answer? Wait,
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: one more.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: Timmy from Busco, Indiana says the influencer was caught skateboarding
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: during the marathon.
• 25:55
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: Well, what say you, Lorena?
• 25:56
  Speaker 6: I was going to say caught posting.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: Posting. All right. No.
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: It turns out a fitness influencer has apologized after being
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: caught skateboarding.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: Biking. She was riding a bicycle during the Berlin Marathon,
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: which I guess is not allowed.
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: Despite celebrating, she celebrated her finish as like a personal record,
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: but she was actually caught biking, which is good. Well,
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: the greatest marathon, sir, the Boston Marathon. Was it Rosie Ruiz?
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, that's a legend. She died not that long ago, right?
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: The last couple of years. I think she died. Oh,
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: I didn't know that. I thought she did. 2019.
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's more than a few years ago. That's seven
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: years she's been dead. But she, yeah, she's the one that, like,
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: set this record and she took the subway. You could
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: do that back then.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: There was no Internet. There was no social. I guess
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: you couldn't do it because she got caught. So you
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: couldn't actually do it. But she tried it. I give
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: her credit. She had big balls to try it and
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: try to get away with it. But, yeah, this woman,
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: this influencer. Not good. But these influencers, there's a lot
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: of scamming going on with these influencers. Right.
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is who is that guy that got
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: in a beef with Joe Rogan, the guy that was
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: all ripped, all muscled up and said he just.
• 27:17
  Speaker 8: Oh, yeah.
• 27:17
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: What was that guy's name? Remember that guy? He looked great.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: It was all steroids.
• 27:23
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 27:24
  Speaker 6: But like he looked great, but he also looked homeless.
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 27:26
  Speaker 6: Like he had that be that crazy beard.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, looked disheveled, bedraggled.
• 27:31
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: Looked bedraggled for sure. Yeah, I don't remember the guy's name,
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: but he was pretty popular for a couple years. No
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: longer popular. That's what happens. Things take place. All right,
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: we have Aspen coming up. Let's take a call.
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: Let's say hello to, let's go to Andrea, the astrology insider.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: Forget Adam Schefter or Ken Rosenthal.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: We have Andrea.
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: She's in Berkeley, and she's about to dazzle you right
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: now with some amazing information.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: Hello, Andrea. Welcome.
• 28:02
  Speaker 8: Hello, Ben. How are you?
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: If I was any better, I would have run the
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: Berlin Marathon without taking a bicycle.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: But unfortunately, this young lady could not do that.
• 28:15
  Speaker 8: Well, you should be happy the Dodgers won, and Tyler
• 28:19
  Speaker 8: Glass now pitched really well. I don't know, four and
• 28:23
  Speaker 8: two-thirds innings, five Ks, no runs. I know you need
• 28:27
  Speaker 8: five innings now to get a win.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: And leave us a shot of that. I don't think
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: that's a good outing. I'm old school.
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: I think you've got to go six-plus innings at least,
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: and to me that's not a good outing. And Dave Roberts,
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: yet again, the quick hook. Dodgers won. That's all that matters.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: But I think that was great.
• 28:50
  Speaker 8: Yeah, but, you know, good enough for the team to win. And,
• 28:55
  Speaker 8: you know, he hadn't pitched in several weeks, so that
• 28:57
  Speaker 8: was good to have him back. And, you know, he's
• 29:00
  Speaker 8: a fellow Virgo, August 23rd, 1993. So I kind of
• 29:05
  Speaker 8: fangirl fellow Virgo pitching. And Virgos are really hardworking. You know,
• 29:11
  Speaker 8: they can be very critical of themselves. They're very detail-oriented,
• 29:15
  Speaker 8: and they set very high standards for themselves. So, Virgos
• 29:20
  Speaker 8: have that analytical, practical quality. So, I really like that
• 29:26
  Speaker 8: he was pitching and the Dodgers won the game. And,
• 29:30
  Speaker 8: you know, obviously I'm no Braves fan. Being a Mets fan,
• 29:34
  Speaker 8: so that was perfectly fine with me.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: I hear you. The other thing that I love.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: which is happening right now in baseball, is you have
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: baseball preparing to shut down because the small market teams
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: can't compete with the big market teams. And we just
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: saw the Tampa Bay Rays with the 28th ranked payroll
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: in baseball beat the Yankees, who have the third biggest
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: payroll in baseball. So we just saw that. But yet,
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: they have to stop the sport. They need a salary
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: cap because the teams that don't spend a lot of
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: money cannot compete.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: Cannot do it. No way.
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: How about the Milwaukee Brewers who have the 20th payroll
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: in baseball beating the Padres who have a top 10.
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: I think they're 7th in payroll. So you had the
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: 20th and 28th ranked payroll advancing and we're guaranteed of
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: having either Cleveland or the White Sox. Neither one of
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: those teams is spending much money on their payroll, so
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: three of the four teams are going to be considered
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: cheap teams that are in the final four of baseball,
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: but we.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: Have to have a salary cap. Andrea, the sport just
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: can't go on.
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: I hope you understand. The owners are losing so much money.
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: In my lifetime, there have been seven teams, Andrea, that
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: have gone out of business. They went bankrupt because it's
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: so hard to make money running a baseball team.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: It's so, so sad. It really is.
• 30:59
  Speaker 8: I mean, you know, I'm from New York, so I
• 31:03
  Speaker 8: have some friends and family, mostly Mets fans, but a
• 31:06
  Speaker 8: few Yankee fans. And they got swept by the Tampa
• 31:09
  Speaker 8: Bay Rookies. So that's not going to go over too
• 31:12
  Speaker 8: well in New York. And, yeah, the difference of the
• 31:14
  Speaker 8: payroll is huge. I mean, that's really astounding.
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: It is, but nothing's going to change for the Yankees.
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: It'll all be the same. Everyone will be back. The players,
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: a few players will change. Listen, I say everyone will
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: be back. There's not going to be a lot going
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: on next.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: Year because of the work stoppage starting in 54 days
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: on December 1st.
• 31:37
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: According to Aaron Judge postgame, he was asked about Aaron.
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: But you imagine if Aaron Judge said, I think Aaron
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: Boone's a doofus and we should get rid of him.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: He said he's our manager.
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: He's running the ship when asked whether or not Boone
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: should return. So shocking take, shocking take by Aaron Judge.
• 31:57
  Speaker 8: Well, Aaron Judge, he's a fellow Taurus, and they kind
• 32:00
  Speaker 8: of missed his, you know, determination in the games this round.
• 32:06
  Speaker 8: And Boone, I was looking at his chart, March 9th, 1973.
• 32:12
  Speaker 8: He's a Pisces, and he was super emotional when they said, oh,
• 32:15
  Speaker 8: you have one more year left on your contract. You know,
• 32:18
  Speaker 8: do you think it'll be renewed? He goes, well, now's
• 32:21
  Speaker 8: not the time or place to talk about that. He
• 32:24
  Speaker 8: didn't want to get into it. He was still upset,
• 32:26
  Speaker 8: which is understandable.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: Are you ready for the fun fact? I have a
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: fun fact. You ready for a fun fact?
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: Are you ready?
• 32:32
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: Here's your fun fact of the hour. Another fun fact.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: Fun fact goes out to Alf the Alien O'Piner.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: Aaron Boone has managed 57 games in the postseason as
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: the skipper of the New York Yankees every time with
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: a loaded payroll and has a losing record. Aaron Boone
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: is three games under. 500 as Yankees manager. In the playoffs.
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: That's called a loser. Thanks to Tim, by the way.
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: The great Tim McDarvey sending that over. But three games under.
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: 500.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: I don't think that's good.
• 33:04
  Speaker 8: No, that's a good stat, though. But, yeah, it's kind
• 33:07
  Speaker 8: of disappointing when you stop and think about it.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: It's a fun fact. The Yankees have higher standards. They
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: used to have higher standards.
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: Now they're okay. Put a competitive team on the field.
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: It's like the Seattle Mariners. Remember the Mariners GM a
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: couple years ago? got called out because he accidentally said.
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: The truth to the media.
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: And you're not supposed to accidentally say the truth to
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: the media because people get very upset. Jerry DePoto is
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: the guy's name. And he said that this is the
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: executive that ran the Seattle. I think he's still there
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: in Seattle. And his goal every year was to win 54%
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: of the games. He says, if you can do that long-term,
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: you're a playoff contender. You'll wind up, just by dumb luck,
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: you'll wind up in the World Series. You're going to
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: try to win 54% of the time, and that's the
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: sweet spot.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: So that's it. They don't care. They want to be great.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: They just want to be a little better than average.
• 34:05
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: Well, Andrea, thank you. The great Andrea there. All right.
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: Be well. Virgo in service. You can say hello to

• 36:13
  Speaker 6: from Nimbot.
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: Hi, Nimbot.
• 36:16
  Speaker 6: Who would like to know, what was your best vacation ever?
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: Well, I love Hawaii. I got married there. I guess
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: the Nepali coast of Hawaii is the most beautiful place
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: I've ever been. So I guess I would say that.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: What about you, Lorena? Most amazing vacation.
• 36:36
  Speaker 5: I've only been a couple of really cool places, but
• 36:39
  Speaker 5: I really liked Belize.
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: Look at you.
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: Belize. Could you spell that? B-E-L-I-Z-E. Oh, you're bragging now.
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: You're bragging. All right. What about you, Koopaloop?
• 36:53
  Speaker 6: This is a tough one.
• 36:55
  Speaker 7: I had a European vacation where I went to a
• 36:58
  Speaker 7: few different countries with my family and my now wife,
• 37:03
  Speaker 7: who was my girlfriend at the time. But I think
• 37:08
  Speaker 7: I got to give it to Japan on my honeymoon.
• 37:11
  Speaker 7: It was just, I don't know.
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: Amazing place. You loved it?
• 37:15
  Speaker 7: Yeah, and it was just more fun because it was
• 37:17
  Speaker 7: the honeymoon rather than like a, you know, like family
• 37:20
  Speaker 7: trips are cool too, but, you know, you know.
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know. I hear you. I hear you. All right.
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: What is next?
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: It's Ask Ben. Your questions are answers for the rest
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: of the hour.
• 37:31
  Speaker 6: I swear I didn't plan it this way, Ben. It
• 37:34
  Speaker 6: just happened to be the next question I saw.
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: Okay, what do you got?
• 37:37
  Speaker 6: Elon Dogg.
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: Hi, Elon dog. Hi, doggy.
• 37:42
  Speaker 6: Wants to know, are couples who do destination weddings jerks?
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: Well, no, I didn't do a destination wedding. We just eloped.
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: Nobody was invited. So, no.
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think those people who do destination weddings are jerks.
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: But I didn't do one. I'm an introvert.
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: No one was at my wedding.
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: It was on a deserted beach. On the other side
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: of Kauai, there's, like, nobody there. Like, you had to
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: drive down a dirt road with potholes to get where
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: I got married.
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: So I know where it is.
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: It's, like, between the three- and four-mile marker when you
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: leave the airport in Poipu. Right near it, there's, like,
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: a golf course. You go past that. There's a dirt road.
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: You take a right turn. You go down around 17 potholes.
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: You get to the very end, there's a turnaround spot,
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: and then there's the mighty ocean right there.
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: That's where the wedding took place. What about you, Lorena?
• 38:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, unless you have a really rich family,
• 38:38
  Speaker 5: I think getting married somewhere like that, kind of, you know,
• 38:41
  Speaker 5: not the best.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: Unless you have no family. Yeah, if you have no family,
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: it doesn't really matter. Do whatever you want. Cool.
• 38:47
  Speaker 6: I don't think they're jerks, per se. Just don't expect
• 38:51
  Speaker 6: me to go. Unless you're paying for me.
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, if you pay, I'll go.
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: I've had listeners invite me to weddings and stuff, and
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: I'm like, okay, if you pay, I'll go.
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: But nobody's paid yet, so I haven't gone to any weddings.
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: All right, what's next? What do we got?
• 39:06
  Speaker 6: OG Art Puffin would like to know, when's the last
• 39:09
  Speaker 6: time you went clubbing?
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: You know, probably the last time was when I did
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: stuff with the baseball players. They liked.
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: For some reason, they felt pity on me, and they
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: would take me out to the nightclubs on the road.
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: And I was probably in my mid-20s.
• 39:30
  Speaker 7: Mid.
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: I was in my early 20s, probably. It's been a minute.
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: It's much different, by the way, going to a nightclub
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: with a professional athlete. They don't pay for anything.
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: It's wild. And women come up to them. It's shocking.
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: When you go with your boys, no women come up
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: to you. Anyway, what about you, Lorraine?
• 39:49
  Speaker 5: I'd say it's been about two years since I was
• 39:51
  Speaker 5: at a club club, you know, with like the bottles
• 39:54
  Speaker 5: popping and the half-naked ladies on the couches. It's not
• 39:58
  Speaker 5: really my scene, though.
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: You've moved on from that?
• 40:01
  Speaker 5: I never really got into it.
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: I tried.
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: The fat guy does not do well at the club,
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: so it didn't really work for me. What about you
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: over there, Koopaloop?
• 40:10
  Speaker 6: Does the strip club count as clubbing?
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: No.
• 40:12
  Speaker 6: No.
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: It's the ballet. What are you talking about? It's the
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: most important club.
• 40:16
  Speaker 7: So if that doesn't count, then then I was also
• 40:19
  Speaker 7: in my early 20s the last time I went.
• 40:21
  Speaker 6: It's been a while. The strip club counts like, I
• 40:25
  Speaker 6: don't know, a couple of years ago.
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: Got you.
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: Quick one. Where we got?
• 40:30
  Speaker 6: King Rory wants to know how dark do you like
• 40:31
  Speaker 6: your toast?
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: I don't really eat toast, but when I do, I
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: like it well done. But not completely burned, but on
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: the well-done side with lots of butter.
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: What about you, Lorraine? Perfectly golden. Cool.
• 40:42
  Speaker 6: Yeah, well done.
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: Well done. The way to go. Toasty McToasty. Ask Ben.
