Speaker 1: Dingedong. It's our number four. Our number four is knocking
0:09
Speaker 1: on your ear drum door. And here in our number
0:12
Speaker 1: four baseball to start, give me your school of thought.
0:15
Speaker 1: On Nestor Cortes, that's a Milwaukee Brewer pitcher who was
0:20
Speaker 1: in the Bronx last year, saying the twenty twenty four
0:23
Speaker 1: Yankees were the better team against the Dodgers despite losing
0:28
Speaker 1: against the Dodgers in the Fall Classic. Also, what is
0:32
Speaker 1: the word where the NFL turning to big tech for
0:36
Speaker 1: measurements going forward? And Eagles GM Howie Roseman says that
0:41
Speaker 1: Sequon Barkley had the best skilled position season in NFL history.
0:47
Speaker 1: You agree or disagree, I'll tell you why that is
0:50
Speaker 1: a ridiculous take. We'll get to that and much more
0:52
Speaker 1: right now. Have a wonderful, wonderful Thursday. Enjoy this twenty
0:58
Speaker 1: seventh day of February. Here it is number four. We'll
1:02
Speaker 1: call this one a strange brew, a very strange brew.
1:07
Speaker 1: Welcome in the beginning of another hour, one after another.
1:14
Speaker 1: They just keep coming and coming and coming all night long.
1:19
Speaker 1: As we are.
1:20
Speaker 2: In the air everywhere, fanning the breeze as we do,
1:27
Speaker 2: running for the doors coast to coast, border, the border
1:31
Speaker 2: and beyond on the vast and monumentally powerful microphones of
1:37
Speaker 2: FSR amminating.
1:40
Speaker 1: Live from the Gang is the chain Gang of the
1:44
Speaker 1: nocturnal world. We're broadcasting live from the tyrag dot com studios.

Speaker 1: Tyract dot com will help you get there and unmatched selection, fast,
1:54
Speaker 1: free shipping, free road hazard protection and over ten thousand

2:04
Speaker 1: Chapel Hill, loves the number ten thousand. Tire raq dot
2:07
Speaker 1: com the way tire buying showy. So our lead this
2:12
Speaker 1: hour is from from baseball. You got a pretty good
2:16
Speaker 1: story out of spring training here, and there's no such
2:20
Speaker 1: thing as a good story. But let me explain. So
2:22
Speaker 1: it involves the Brewers, but not really the Brewers, cause
2:25
Speaker 1: you know, what are we doing here. But one of
2:28
Speaker 1: the pitchers for the Milwaukee Brewers, a guy named Nestor Cortes.
2:34
Speaker 1: You might remember him serving up a mammoth home run
2:40
Speaker 1: in Game one of the World Series. So the pitcher
2:43
Speaker 1: who was with the Yankees now in Milwaukee's spring training camp.
2:47
Speaker 1: So Nestor Cortes is still reeling from the fact that
2:52
Speaker 1: the team he was on. Last year, the Yankees were
2:55
Speaker 1: curb stomped by the Dodgers in the Fall Classic. The
2:58
Speaker 1: Dodgers beat the Yankees in five games. Were clearly the
3:02
Speaker 1: better team, not just on the field, but off it
3:06
Speaker 1: as well. However, not to Cortes, who did not see
3:11
Speaker 1: it that way. And I'm not making that up. I
3:14
Speaker 1: don't know if you heard what he said, I'll tell you,
3:17
Speaker 1: but speaking at Brewers Camp this week in Arizona, nasty
3:20
Speaker 1: Nestor Cortes was very nasty. He said that he and
3:26
Speaker 1: his teammates in the Bronx last year were the better side. Quote,
3:32
Speaker 1: we had done enough to win that game. He was
3:35
Speaker 1: talking about Game one, and then he said, they can
3:39
Speaker 1: talk whatever they want to talk, meaning the Dodgers, but
3:42
Speaker 1: we meeting the Yankees, win game one and we should have.
3:46
Speaker 1: We lost two and three. We win game four and
3:49
Speaker 1: we should have won Game five. And then Cortes says, well,
3:53
Speaker 1: we go back to La up three to two. So
3:56
Speaker 1: people can say it slipped away from us. Cortes said,
3:58
Speaker 1: people can say we made a lot of mistakes, which
4:01
Speaker 1: we did, but at the end of the day, we
4:03
Speaker 1: were the better team. Close quote. Okay, So let us
4:08
Speaker 1: discuss give me your school of thought on Nestor Cortes
4:15
Speaker 1: saying the twenty twenty four Yankees were the better team
4:19
Speaker 1: against the Doyers despite only winning one game in the
4:24
Speaker 1: World Series. So I've got South Park salad dressing and
4:29
Speaker 1: Rikers Island, and we will combine all of these things together.
4:35
Speaker 1: And we were going to make some corn beef hash,
4:38
Speaker 1: which I mentioned last hour, And now I'm like, well,
4:41
Speaker 1: I haven't had corn beef fashi in a while. I
4:43
Speaker 1: don't know who serves the greatest cornby fash. I've had
4:46
Speaker 1: some good cornby fash, but most of it's on the
4:48
Speaker 1: East Coast, not on the West Coast. I don't think
4:50
Speaker 1: they know how to make cornbef fash on the West
4:52
Speaker 1: Coast anyway. So to lead off here my reaction, my
4:58
Speaker 1: school of thought to these quotes by Nestor Cortez, the
5:01
Speaker 1: former Yankee, I'm like McDonald's, we are loving it right.
5:05
Speaker 1: The tiers of disgruntled former Yankee employees are rejuvenating, is
5:12
Speaker 1: what they are. We can relive the Freddie Freeman monster
5:16
Speaker 1: mash in the World Series, that majestic home running game one.
5:19
Speaker 1: I believe he homered in four straight World Series games.
5:22
Speaker 1: Nestor Cortes here on this particular take, I'm gonna put
5:25
Speaker 1: him in take jail with Lorena. Okay, he's going to
5:28
Speaker 1: take Joe Nestor Cortes. It's like he must be a
5:31
Speaker 1: big South Park fan because he's Captain Hindsight, right, he's
5:35
Speaker 1: got the three Buddies, Captain Hindsight's three buddies. He's got
5:38
Speaker 1: should have, coulda, would have. The Yankees should have done
5:40
Speaker 1: a lot of things differently in the World Series. They
5:42
Speaker 1: could have actually fielded the ball, for example, in the
5:45
Speaker 1: fifth inning of Game five. If they'd done that, then
5:48
Speaker 1: they would have had a chance to win. Regardless, they didn't,
5:51
Speaker 1: and the Dodgers got to bling blink. You see. All
5:55
Speaker 1: that matters is what you do in the moment. Doesn't matter.
5:58
Speaker 1: If you got the better stats, doesn't matter. If you
5:59
Speaker 1: think you're better, do you perform better? And the game's
6:04
Speaker 1: not over after six innings or seven or eight. You
6:06
Speaker 1: gotta get that final out. And apparently Nessor Cortes missed
6:11
Speaker 1: that day. At Baseball one oh one, they literally and
6:15
Speaker 1: figuratively dropped the ball the New York Ya He's they
6:18
Speaker 1: sucked at a time you cannot suck and Nestor Cortes,
6:21
Speaker 1: for the rest of his baseball life will be known
6:25
Speaker 1: for one pitch, and it's my favorite pitch that he
6:29
Speaker 1: ever threw, that meat ball to Freddie Freeman that must
6:33
Speaker 1: have looked like a beach. Balls that flew into the
6:35
Speaker 1: pavilion at Dodger Stadium in another infamous World Series home
6:42
Speaker 1: run given up and at Dodger Stadium have been many
6:46
Speaker 1: all right. Now, Furthermore, we pivot now to the rules
6:51
Speaker 1: of the game pigskin style. Now, the NFL is planning
6:55
Speaker 1: on saying IX nay on the chain gang A. They're
6:59
Speaker 1: done with gangs. They've taken an anti gang position. The NFL.
7:03
Speaker 1: They're going to phase out the chain gang that measures
7:07
Speaker 1: whether or not it's our first down. Instead, the Eagles
7:10
Speaker 1: will for the Eagles the NFL. With the Eagles won
7:14
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, the NFL is gonna use the Hawkeye
7:18
Speaker 1: like the Iowah Hawkes, the Hawkeye Tech for first down
7:23
Speaker 1: calls when the season comes around in September. The league
7:27
Speaker 1: also plans to use that the big tech as the
7:31
Speaker 1: primary way to determine if the ball crosses the line
7:34
Speaker 1: to gain for a first down. There's also talking about
7:37
Speaker 1: changing the overtime rules. But let's stay focused on the
7:39
Speaker 1: end of the chain gang. So what is your word?
7:43
Speaker 1: What is your word on the NFL turning to big
7:48
Speaker 1: tech for measurements going forward. So my word is non theatrical.
7:56
Speaker 1: That is my word, non theatrical. And we talked about
8:00
Speaker 1: this in previous episodes or of the show. When you
8:04
Speaker 1: go to an NFL game, we're just watching an NFL
8:06
Speaker 1: game on TV. One of the most dramatic moment. It's
8:08
Speaker 1: all about drama. It's all about the story. It's all
8:10
Speaker 1: about the drama. One of the big moments is the
8:15
Speaker 1: chain Gang being there and being part of what goes on. No,
8:20
Speaker 1: technically there's still going to be on the sidelines. They're
8:22
Speaker 1: a backup, but they've been marginalized and eventually they'll get
8:26
Speaker 1: rid of them altogether because why have them. It's usually
8:29
Speaker 1: old dudes, and they get hurt a lot, but it
8:33
Speaker 1: takes away a slice of bite your fingernails, hold your
8:38
Speaker 1: breath anxiety from the NFL. When the chain gang walks
8:43
Speaker 1: across the field and the referee grabs the chain to
8:47
Speaker 1: extend it to see if you reach the line to gain,
8:51
Speaker 1: and that moment where you're not sure there's a little
8:54
Speaker 1: bit of rope on the chain and all that. I
8:57
Speaker 1: don't know if it's gonna get there or not gone
9:00
Speaker 1: on replaced by what AI just a booth review, that's all.
9:06
Speaker 1: What fun is that? That's not dramatic, it's not you know,
9:12
Speaker 1: is I understand it? It's just gonna be all right,
9:14
Speaker 1: the booth review first down they gained the first down?
9:17
Speaker 1: Is that really an upgrade to the experience of watching
9:20
Speaker 1: the NFL. I'm asking for a friend and what We're
9:23
Speaker 1: never gonna get another gene sterotor moment with the index
9:27
Speaker 1: card ever. And it's also the other thing about this,
9:31
Speaker 1: I was thinking, like as I was walking into the
9:33
Speaker 1: studio here, I was like, it's dressing. It's not salad dressing.
9:37
Speaker 1: It's window dressing. Because the technology does not address the
9:42
Speaker 1: underlying condition which so many people raise the hullabaloo about,
9:46
Speaker 1: and that is the tracking of the ball, right tracking
9:50
Speaker 1: your ball, and the NFL will will not use that here.
9:55
Speaker 1: The officials still need to spot the ball. So this
10:00
Speaker 1: is just replay assist that will confirm the spot on
10:03
Speaker 1: the field, whether it's accurate, the placement of the ball,
10:06
Speaker 1: but they're not going to spot the ball based on this.
10:09
Speaker 1: The main gripe of so many people is the inaccurate
10:15
Speaker 1: measurement that it doesn't fix that hiccup, which is subjective
10:22
Speaker 1: and will always be subjective because ultimately a human, even
10:25
Speaker 1: if you use AI, a human is going to be
10:27
Speaker 1: the one that programs it. It's somewhere along the way,
10:30
Speaker 1: but you dig deeper and it could make it actually
10:33
Speaker 1: easier if you want to rig games. Think about a
10:36
Speaker 1: movie I'm thinking about writing this, and you get some
10:39
Speaker 1: hackers out of like Russia or North Korea or something
10:42
Speaker 1: like that, and they mess with the thing of a
10:45
Speaker 1: jig and the algorithm and then they're able to futs
10:50
Speaker 1: around with the outcome of NFL games based on first
10:54
Speaker 1: downs and things like that. Now, lastly to Philadelphia. You
10:59
Speaker 1: know we mentioned this earlier, but I want to expand
11:02
Speaker 1: on it some recent comments made by Howie Roseman, the
11:05
Speaker 1: GM in Philadelphia, who said very boldly recently that Sequon
11:11
Speaker 1: Barkley had the best skill position season in NFL history.
11:17
Speaker 1: So do you agree or disagree? Now I disagree, I've
11:20
Speaker 1: got changed my position in the time that has passed
11:24
Speaker 1: since we brought this up earlier. Barkley was great. However,
11:30
Speaker 1: Howie Roseman is slightly biased as a witness, and on
11:36
Speaker 1: this one, on this particular take, he's visiting Rikers Island,
11:39
Speaker 1: He's being a prisoner, a prisoner of the moment, a
11:43
Speaker 1: prison of the moment. It's also recency bias, which is
11:47
Speaker 1: a big thing that people have in life. Recency bias.
11:50
Speaker 1: You say, something that just happened is prominent and better
11:54
Speaker 1: than what used to happen and all that, and it's
11:58
Speaker 1: kind of appropriate for this guys of the times. But
12:01
Speaker 1: when I think and just in the last generation, modern
12:04
Speaker 1: era of the NFL, last twenty twenty five years, when
12:07
Speaker 1: I think of domination, I think of that two thousand
12:10
Speaker 1: Greatest Show on turf Rams team with Marshall Falk who
12:15
Speaker 1: was as good in terms of impact as Barkley. How
12:19
Speaker 1: about Ladanian Tomlinson if you're old enough to remember him,
12:22
Speaker 1: for the old San Diego Chargers, who, if I'm not mistaken,
12:25
Speaker 1: in the early odds, he had thirty thirty four touchdowns
12:32
Speaker 1: or something like that, maybe even more than that when
12:34
Speaker 1: you combind rushing, catching and even through three touchdowns, so
12:38
Speaker 1: I think it was it was thirty thirty five something
12:41
Speaker 1: like that. You six and then on a team that
12:44
Speaker 1: was five hundred. How about CJ two K Chris Johnson
12:48
Speaker 1: for the Tennessee Titans, who averaged like one hundred and
12:52
Speaker 1: twenty five yards per game. Any team's success is different
12:57
Speaker 1: than individual success. And technically Howie Roseman is not wrong
13:02
Speaker 1: because he because he said Sekwon Barkley had the best
13:06
Speaker 1: skilled position season. The legal definition of the term best
13:09
Speaker 1: means as good as all the rest. So was he
13:11
Speaker 1: as good as all the rest? Sure? Is that? What?
13:13
Speaker 1: How he Roseman meant that he was as good as
13:16
Speaker 1: all the rest? No, that he meant he was better.
13:18
Speaker 1: He just used the word best. It is the Ben
13:22
Speaker 1: Mahlor Show. As we were working our way through the
13:25
Speaker 1: overnight and we we've been here all night with the
13:29
Speaker 1: podcast will be going up in a little bit. We
13:31
Speaker 1: had a media verbal boxing match at a Starbucks in Indianapolis.
13:37
Speaker 1: I love this story. I led the show off with it.
13:39
Speaker 1: Hours ago. A media brew haha between Ian Rappaport and
13:45
Speaker 1: Jordan Schultz. Rappaport works for state sponsored media in the NFL,
13:51
Speaker 1: and Schultz confronted him as Rappaport violated the hippocratic oath
13:57
Speaker 1: of being an NFL insider and tried to bury Jordan Schultz,
14:02
Speaker 1: and Schultz came back and confronted him and then, as
14:07
Speaker 1: the reporting goes, Ian Rappaport was so taken aback by
14:10
Speaker 1: Jordan Schultz, the son of a billionaire, that he contacted
14:14
Speaker 1: NFL security. Yeah, there was that. We also have the
14:18
Speaker 1: NFL players complaining because they're not pampered enough. I always
14:21
Speaker 1: love that story. That's something we ranted about earlier. The
14:25
Speaker 1: latest on Luca the Hookah or Hookah Luca, who is
14:30
Speaker 1: again being buried by stories planted by the Mavericks on
14:34
Speaker 1: his lifestyle choices and whatnot. It is the Ben Malachow
14:37
Speaker 1: And also some sad news overnight that the passing of
14:40
Speaker 1: Gene Hackman. We found out during the show here, who
14:43
Speaker 1: hasn't worked in a long time because he was old.
14:45
Speaker 1: He was ninety five. But interesting story. We don't know
14:48
Speaker 1: all the details from reporting. He was living in Santa Fe,
14:51
Speaker 1: New Mexico. Big star in Hollywood, made some of the
14:54
Speaker 1: greatest movies of the seventies, of the eighties and the nineties,
14:57
Speaker 1: and was just amazing in so many of those movies
15:00
Speaker 1: that he was in. And once he wasn't no but
15:03
Speaker 1: he he was announced he died with his wife, who
15:07
Speaker 1: is much younger than him. Hackman was in his mid
15:09
Speaker 1: nineties in the Dogs, so they're they're investigating that. They
15:14
Speaker 1: say there was no foul play, but who knows. You
15:17
Speaker 1: never know. And from our perspective, Gene Hackman in one
15:20
Speaker 1: of the great basketball movies of all time as the
15:23
Speaker 1: coach in Hoosiers back Back in the Day movie that
15:27
Speaker 1: even though it was made in the eighties, forty years
15:30
Speaker 1: ago whatever, people still reference Hoosiers to this day. Forty
15:34
Speaker 1: year old move part of the pop culture of that
15:37
Speaker 1: time and still got legs. It is the Ben Mahler Show.

25:00
Speaker 1: thoughts on the touchboy, I don't want to now. She's
25:05
Speaker 1: a little gun shot, she's a little nervous. She got
25:07
Speaker 1: banned for her beef tallow take earlier. Now she didn't
25:09
Speaker 1: want any more takes.
25:10
Speaker 6: You told her to stop talking doing to call him
25:13
Speaker 6: the questions. He told her to close your mouth and
25:16
Speaker 6: she can shy rens anyway.
25:19
Speaker 7: You're you're.
25:20
Speaker 6: You didn't use the nickname. I gave you the overrated
25:23
Speaker 6: blabber of mouth, Remember Eddie, remember that one?
25:26
Speaker 5: Overrated?
25:27
Speaker 6: Remember that one?
25:28
Speaker 1: No, I don't remember that. I don't remember. You should have.
25:31
Speaker 6: He said it would be on the drop or something
25:33
Speaker 6: or anyway. Eddie almost had a heart attack. Can I
25:36
Speaker 6: completed feud simon time? And then of course Elong came
25:39
Speaker 6: along with his chancellor and kaid Eddy Quity's job. Did
25:44
Speaker 6: you know that those elon Musk.
25:46
Speaker 1: I didn't realize he was the one that did that.
25:48
Speaker 1: I know he's a big thing.
25:49
Speaker 6: No idea, it's a fun fact. I have another fun fact.
25:53
Speaker 6: Fun fact. Did you hear about the I don't have
25:56
Speaker 6: a golden ticket, but in England a sick million dollar
26:01
Speaker 6: golden toilet was stolen. Did you hear about that?
26:05
Speaker 5: No?
26:05
Speaker 1: I missed that one.
26:07
Speaker 6: The police got to the bottom of it.
26:11
Speaker 1: Okay, thank you, all right. It's being called a spring showcase.
26:23
Speaker 1: That would be Nolan Aernato. This week he drove three
26:27
Speaker 1: hours to play in a spring training game against the Yankees. Now,
26:32
Speaker 1: the reason people are saying he was obviously looking to
26:35
Speaker 1: showcase and wants to play for the Yankees is because
26:38
Speaker 1: he's a veteran. He's been around for like ten years
26:41
Speaker 1: or something like that. Aeronato at this point, and when
26:43
Speaker 1: you're a veteran, you don't have to go anywhere. You
26:45
Speaker 1: just show up, do your work, go play golf. That's it.
26:48
Speaker 1: It's Florida vacation or Arizona vacation. These guys have it.
26:51
Speaker 1: Talk about easy street, these baseball players in spring training.
26:54
Speaker 1: What an easy gig? Anyway, Aeronauto said that he he
27:00
Speaker 1: decided to go. He claimed it was not a showcase,
27:03
Speaker 1: he said, but probably because he sucked. He was zero
27:08
Speaker 1: for three with two strikeouts. And the Cardinals lost seven
27:11
Speaker 1: to nothing. So if that's a showcase, that's the reason
27:14
Speaker 1: for the Yankees, not the trade for Nolan Ernado based
27:18
Speaker 1: on one spring training game. Let's go to Jed who fled?
27:21

29:13
Speaker 1: Jed who fled, proving why he is one of the
29:15
Speaker 1: great intoxicated people. We had a major man card a violation.
29:20
Speaker 1: Do you see that Travis Kelsey said the thing he
29:24
Speaker 1: did to get over losing the Super Bowl? You see
29:27
Speaker 1: what he said, they're coop in the rain and you
29:30
Speaker 1: see not he said, in order to get over the
29:34
Speaker 1: devastating Chiefs loss in the Super Bowl, he's been listening
29:38
Speaker 1: to Taylor Swift music. Wow. I mean, I know the
29:44
Speaker 1: Bears coach said, hey, take my testicles. I feel like
29:47
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey's like, hey take my testicles. That's it. That
29:52
Speaker 1: is a load of crap. Olda craprap crap, crap, crap crap.
29:59
Speaker 1: Speaking of crap, the other day, the Buffalo Bills head
30:02
Speaker 1: coach Sean McDermott came out and said that he was
30:05
Speaker 1: concerned about players safety with the touch push. So about
30:09
Speaker 1: twenty four hours after McDermott made that statement, the NFL
30:15
Speaker 1: said they crunched the numbers and no injuries from the
30:20
Speaker 1: touch push. Who Goofed? I've got to know now that
30:24
Speaker 1: might have been an anecdotal, anecdotal take by McDermott, but
30:27
Speaker 1: the NFL is claiming, not that the NFL has never
30:30
Speaker 1: lied before, but no injuries on the touch push. And
30:33
Speaker 1: there's that also the NFL Draft, which is not until
30:37
Speaker 1: about two months from now in late April. But the
30:41
Speaker 1: player that summer saying is gonna be the number one
30:45
Speaker 1: overall pin in the NFL draft out of Penn State.
30:49
Speaker 1: Number eleven in your program, but number one in your heart,
30:53
Speaker 1: and that would be Abdul Carter. And he is injured
30:58
Speaker 1: and previously undiscovered undisclosed injury. And so they're like, what's
31:04
Speaker 1: going on, hump. Is he gonna be able to play?
31:07
Speaker 1: I don't know. Apparently he had a stress fracture in
31:11
Speaker 1: his foot and he might need the serger ree, All right, well,
31:17
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go out and lemon and say he's still
31:18
Speaker 1: drafted in the top five of the draft. How about that?
31:22
Speaker 1: That's at that's my hot take, what an amazing take.
