• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Well, our lead this hour from Anaheim, and we are
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: doing this for ferg Dog, who is literally the only
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: one that gives a rats ass about this. But no, no,
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: I mean it might be two other people, two other
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: people that care about this. Uh what is this to
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Why would you talk about something in Anaheim? It's Thanksgiving?
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, gosh, shut up? Who know he's listening anyway?
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Who cares? So?
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: The Hot Stove League is heating up at the Big
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: a and Anaheim.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Did the Angels make a big splash move? Is it
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: addition or is it abstraction?
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: Developing hot dot dot dot did you hear no, Well,
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: it's not done done. It's kind of done, but it's
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: not done done, so it's kind of number.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: It's not done done. The Angels and Malfeasan's guilty. Third
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: baseman Anthony Rendon the Dingleberry Anthony Rendon are in deep
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: contract talks about a buyout, which means bye bye baby,
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: see you later. Final year of a seven year monstrosity
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: of a contract.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Two hundred and forty five million. The Angels gave this guy,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Oh my god.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Now Rendon is expected to retire spoiler alert.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: He already retired a couple of years ago. He just
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: didn't tell anybody. He didn't tell anybody.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: The thirty five year old bust, one of the great
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: failures in baseball history, is owed thirty eight million thirty
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: eight million in twenty twenty six. The potential buyout of
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: the remaining money has not been docu signed. The teas
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: have not been crossed. That dies dot, the dots have
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: not been placed there on the eyes and all that stuff.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: So they still have to work on that. But the
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: expectation is that Rendon will defer some of the money.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: They call that the Otani. Reason he would defer that
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: money is because of the taxation of the People's Republic
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: of California and to try to avoid.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Paying the highest tax rate in the land from the
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: evil politicians. So we'll be a smart move.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Actually, he'll get more money in the long run. That's
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: what Otani's doing. Really, anyone that signs with the teams
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: in California should do that to avoid the Gavin new
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: some taxes and all that. So that's the deal on that,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: and the Angels would then be able to go back
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: to market and spend some more money and buy some
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: more players that'll break their hearts and all that.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: It's usually how that goes. It is a good jumping
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: off point.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: So let us discuss, all right, the question what is
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: the lesson from Anthony Rendon's contract with the Angels as
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: it's about to come to an end here on this
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Thanksgiving So my views on this, I've got Maya, Angelou, Braves,
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Mascot and Loan, and we will combine all all of
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: these things together and we are gonna make some delicious
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: garlic puffs. Yum, yum to my tum tum. All right,
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: first of all, the lesson and welcome my class. It's
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: professor Mahler. Welcome to our audio classroom. This is not
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: a webinar, this is an audio r audio radio. So
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: first of all, don't fall for the shiny object. That's
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: my first thought on what lesson is out there. Don't
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: fall for the shiny object. That was the issue here.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Owner Artie Marino did the baseball version of impulse buying.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: It's like the person that buys.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: The diamond encrusted jet ski on TEAMU on a random.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Thursday in January.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: You don't need a diamond encrusted jet ski. For some reason,
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: you had a couple of glasses of alcohol.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: The next thing you know, there you go.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: So Anthony Rendo and at one point was an October hero,
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: an October baseball hero, and it was one of the
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: great world series. The natitude beating the cheating a swell
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: one thousand and two, one thousand.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Holes, beating the A holes, and it was great. He
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: had that natitude he did. He had that natitude that
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: was for Washington.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: I know that Rick and Maryland Morning Time an Austro
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: Jant the two other Nationals fans were very excited about that.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Then he got out to Anaheim, He's like, oh, man,
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: I can go to Disneyland every day, and I'm hanging on.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: He said, you know, I want to go to this land.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: I don't really want to be bothered to play baseball,
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: even though I took the contract. So I'm going to
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: do a slow down strike. That's essentially what he accomplished.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Whether he tried to do it or not, it was
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: a slow down strike, slow down strike with really good benefits,
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: really good benefits.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: The Angels gave him a two hundred.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: And forty five million dollar contract, and the moment that
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: contract was completed in broad daylight, he treated baseball.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Like as a job.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: He treated it like he was cleaning porta potties in Birmingham, Alabama,
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: in August after a carnival came through town, like a
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: state fair type thing in Birmingham, and it was one
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: hundred degrees and the humidity was about seven hundred degrees,
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: if you know what I mean. So how bad was
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: it for Anthony Rendona. I've got some malor, Matthew, let's
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: go to my evidence. So this is rock bottom the
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: Angels wall Rendon was under contract. They played eight hundred
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: and ten games. How many games do you think Anthony
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: Rendon played? What kind of bang for your buck did
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: the Angels get so? Out of the eight hundred ten games,
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: this Mama, Luke, Anthony Rendon played two hundred.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: And five games.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: Out of the eight hundred ten, he missed almost seventy
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: five percent of his work assignments. He played a little
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: over twenty five percent. The number is twenty five point
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: three percent based on my.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Male or math.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Now, if you showed up and I have no idea
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: what you do. Maybe you're work in a factory, you're
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: a truck driver, who knows what you do? You're making
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: donuts or whatever, your cop you're a robber, whatever you
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: I don't care. If you showed up to work just
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: one day out of every four days you said I'm
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: good for one day out of four, would you still
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: have a job. Would you be escorted out by security?
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: Probably so? And of course, well Wendon doesn't have a job.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: He's leaving. Yes, he's getting.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: Escorted out to the bank, and they're gonna have a
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: little convoy of brings trucks.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: And oh maybe they'll do a direct depositive. Let's not
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: forget though.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: The other part, which I just chuckle at, is that
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: the Angels should have known better. Right, Anthony Rendon did
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: not make this a secret. He told me, he told you,
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: and he told literally everyone who would listen who he was.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: This is not a bait and switch situation for the Angels.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: It's not Anthony Rendaut let everyone know. He openly admitted
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: baseball was not his top priority even when he was
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: a good player in Washington. The players knew on the
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Nationals that he didn't like baseball. He thought it was
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: boring and he didn't really like it. And that's the
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: Maya Angelo one oh one. When someone shows you who
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: they are, believe them.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: The first time. The Angels didn't believe him. They didn't
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: believe me. They said, well, yeah, he says that, but
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: he's so come on, he's good, he's so good.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: And then well, the Angels didn't do their due diligence
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: and they fell for some October stardust and they ignored
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: the red flags like it was a bachelor party in
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: Vegas and they just ignored it. And now now they
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: want to buy out the player. The final thirty eight
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: million dollars, which is not a contract.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: It's like a hostage negotiation, is what it is. You
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: talk you about, Fallen angel and all that Hell's Angels
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: is more like it. Lesson learned.
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: Avoid the boone doggle, avoid the boondoggle, avoid the mirage,
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: avoid Artie Morino syndrome, the wren Doon.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: Deal, the Anthony Rendon deal, highway robbery, highway robbery. And
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: they also had an orthopedic surgeon president as well, so
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: they had all that just boggles the mind. It's not
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: only a boondoggle, it boggles the mind that we're at
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: this place now. Secondly, speaking of mind boggling and the show,
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: we now take you North of the Border.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: Oh card.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: Former Podres right handed Dylan Cease played for the White
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: Sox for a while with the Padres more recently, and
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: Dylan Ceaze has found.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: A new home.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: He's made at least thirty two starts the past five seasons.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: I've told people like that he has.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Reached a seven year contract.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: With the Blue Jays for two hundred and ten million dollars. Hello, yeah,
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: somebody was schnockered in Toronto two hundred ten million with
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: the Blue Jays. So the question for the esteem panel,
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: the question is what are your knee jerk thoughts, your
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: knee jerk thoughts on Dylan Cease getting two hundred and
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: ten million from the Blue Jays. So my initial thought
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: on this was, this is a fairy tale for him.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: All Right, I'm in the catbird seed, I'm looking down here,
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: and this is a fairy tale as far as from
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: a logical standpoint looking at the movement and this transaction.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: The Malor report card, the Malor report card, which is
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: the report card of record, the Mallet report card C
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: minus C minus. Now, the Blue Jays did not sign electricity.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: They did not they signed adequate. They took adequate. This
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: is not a blockbuster of a deal. It is a
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: yawn and stretch matinee is what that is? Just kind
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: of yawn look there and you kind of you kind
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: of stretch your arms out. You know, it's kind of
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: maybe behind your head.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Do the surrender cobra thing that's called therender cobra. When
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: you put your arms behind your your hands behind your head,
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: that's surrender cobra. You do that.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: So you sip your caffeine whatever you're drinking, and yeah,
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: you check your watch and.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: You say, okay, well he'll eat some innings. I guess
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: you know that's good. He'll eat some innings.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: The Jays are taking a seven year plunge on Dylan
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: Ce's in the jacuzzi. Two hundred and ten million dollars.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: That's a that's a very soapy, optimistic jacuzzi.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: This is what that is.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: And they're getting in return for two hundre ten million,
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: the Blue Jays are getting a jass. Just a starter,
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: just a starter, a middle of the rotation guy wrapped
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: in number one.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: Starter repackaging is what it is. Yeah, he checks a
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: lot of the nerd boxes, the wars kind of sexy
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: that gets people a little turned on.
• 13:18
  Speaker 6: There.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Dependable two hundred ten million. You're paying two hundred ten
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: million for dependable.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: That's akin to going to South Beach and buying a
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: South Beach luxury condo just because it's got really good plumbing.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: It's the plumbing is dependable, okay, but what about the view?
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: But the views aren't that good because it's it's facing
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: the city and you want to look at the ocean.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: That's right, But really good plumbing, the pipe you never
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: have to worry about the toilet. I don't care how
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: big a duty you give in the toilets. It's gonna flush.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: It's the pipes are good, they're solid. It's a way
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: to go. Well.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: No, here's the truth. The Blue Jays are really paying
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: two hundred ten million for three years. Three years of
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: Dylan Ce's that's what he's got left in his prime.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: After that, they're going to be paying him four years
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: as he has the slow fade into baseball menopause right,
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: and Cease has mostly been a costco sample pitch man.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: He's functional, he's serviceable. It's middle Aisle. It's like Aisle fifteen.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: You know, you on Aisle fifteen. They got some kind
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: of yogurt. It's not good yogurt, but they want you
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: to buy it. And you're like, Okay, I'll take a
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: little cup of yogurt. But I really like yogurt, but
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: I'll take one. Why not?
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: Postseason? This is the problem I have. Postseason is where
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: the mask falls off. Seems like a bit of a
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: problem for a team that was a couple of good
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: plays away from winning the World Series this year. Postseason
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: is a thing that goes bumpity bump in the middle
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: of the night. Dylan says, you want to take a guess.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: He's played in some playoff games with the White Sox
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: and the Padres.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: Would you like to take a guess? What is he? Ris? Okay,
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: you got what? I'm good? Okay, okay, don't change your number.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: Dylan Ce's career era in the postseason is eight point
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: seventy four. The guy turns into the Atlanta Braves mascot,
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: mister Freeze's cousin brain Freeze. He's not mister Freeze, the
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: guy that runs out in the outfield of Braves games,
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: but he's the He's the cousin brain Freeze. He's the
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: thing that happens when you have too much. You eat
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: ice cream too fast, and then you feel like you're
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: dying for about seven seconds, and then you feel better,
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: and then you immediately ice cream and do it again. Yeah,
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: pressure arrives, the big stage arrives, and he melts like
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: he's pitching with a hair dryer on the mound. Toronto.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: They bought a playoff roller coaster and they did not
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: get any barfbacks. So two hundred and ten million for
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: Dylan Sea's who can be the guy?
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: It's the old argument on a random Thursday in Tampa.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: He'll be fine. When you play the Orioles on a
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Tuesday night in May, he'll be okay. He'll be okay.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: The problem is when you play in the World Series
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: against the Dodgers and.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: Then he rides the vomit comet. That becomes problematic. All right,
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: final thought. We go now to Baltimore, Maryland, birthplace of
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: the Orioles, who actually were born as the Saint Louis Browns.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: But anyway, the Orioles are hiring former Cardinals and Podres
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: manager Mike Shilt.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: Now Shill taking a front office job. He will be
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: the new coordinator of instruction in the upper levels of
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: the minor league system. That sounds like a bull.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: Crap, no show job, but it is his job. So
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: the question on this one, what stands out to you
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: about the former Podres skip Mike Shilt landing with the
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: Baltimore organization?
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: Sean.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: So, the reason I brought this up, and really the
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: only reason I brought this up, is because it's hot
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: take validation. And when you get confirmation and validation of
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: a hot take, you lean into it.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: You just lean into it, you do.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: Sheilt delivered a sob store, you remember this. We talked
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: about it when he left the Padres. It wasn't that
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: he got fired. No, No, he's a proud baseball man.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: He retired. He gave a speech, and he talked about
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: being emotionally cooked, physically overwhelmed, barely sleeping, losing hair, suffering
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: chest pains.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: There were death.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: Threats on social media. The full on symphony of excuses
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: and rationale is a symphony to a cacophony of excuses.
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: The grind of managing in the daily baseball life just
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: crushed him down to dust.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: Now how do we know that?
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: Because he said all that stuff forty four days ago,
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: forty four days later, I guess no longer is he
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: physically overwhelmed, emotionally cooked, barely sleeping, losing hair, chest pains,
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: death threats.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: All of that is better. He's back. He's back six
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: weeks later. So what gives? It's rather obvious. I mean,
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: do I need to Okay, I'll tell you you're okay.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you this was never a retirement.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: This was we're either going to fire you or we're
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: going to let you claim you retired. And so then
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: Mike Schultz like, okay, not only will I claim I'm retiring.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: I'm going to talk about my hair falling.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: Out and chest pains and this that and the other thing.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: And the word on the street is that we've heard
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: from the baseball grapevine is that the issue Mike Schilt
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: has he tried to lasso tweedled the and tweedled dumb.
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: The divas, Fernando Tatis and Mannymo and the Padres didn't
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: like when I said the potter didn't like it to
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: Tiase and Machado didn't like it, and they grumbled and complained.
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: And the legend is that he walked into the clubhouse
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: essentially just for the purposes of this monologue, Mike Shilt
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: wearing a doing a little cosplay. He was wearing a
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: Lone Ranger mask. And Ownership's like, wait a minute here,
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: this guy Totis is under contract. Let's pump the brakes
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: on that. This guy's under contract for like another ten years.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: And Machado just signed an extension. So it's like an
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: e ticket ride with these guys. And so Ownership said,
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: we don't want a sheriff, we don't want the Lone Ranger,
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: we want missed out fire, we want a babysitter, and
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: so now now he lands Mike Schilt in Baltimore. He
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: gets a cushy, no show front office job and doesn't
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: have to deal with mega egos of oriole players and
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: doesn't have a tiptoe.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: Around to that.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: This gig is the baseball version of the Witness Protection Program,
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: meaning out of sight, out of the spotlight, you get
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: paid some money nowhere near Manny Machado mood swings or
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: to tease, jumping up and down with his feathers out
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: like a peacock, running around. Don't know about it. Show
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: didn't retire, He never retired.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: He just rebranded.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: He just told you all bunch of bull crap about
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: being overwhelmed and physically cooked and this, and then they're
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: losing my hair, chest pains, death threats, all.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: That stuff, all that stuff, and he just rebranded the oils.
• 20:29

  Speaker 2: now back to it. Back to it we go. Our
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: friend Jill, the long suffering Yankee fan. It's been since
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: what nine since the Yankees won the World Series. I
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: don't know how she goes on with her life. When
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: she's complaining the Yankees have not done anything, she says, well,
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: they did sign somebody named Yery Rodriguez to a.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: Minor league deal. I don't know who that is.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: And Ryan Yarborough also agreed to a contract, So congratulations
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: on that. And my favorite story of the Yankee offseason
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: is that they offered Trent Grisham a contract, thinking that
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: he would not agree to it and go to market,
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: and he accepted the offer.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: That is that is great.
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: So Trent Grisham there back with the Yankees unless they
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: unless they trade him. And that's pretty well off from
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: this contract. And we'll get a draft pick or something
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: for me. And he's not going to take the contract.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: But he took the contract. Time now though four The

  Speaker 2: in Tucson. Remember Mike called us up his wife was
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: in the hospital, and he then passed the phone to
• 32:35

  Speaker 2: to show that I make the same amount of money
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: as Concowerd.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: And this is actually not a real human being. This
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: is AI. You've all been fooled.
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: The real Ben Mallard would never slum and work at
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: this hour on Thanksgiving. He's much too important to radio
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: as a whole to ever drag himself down to the
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: sewer and work overnight.
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: That's for that's for nobody. So okay, that's not that's not.
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: A guy of Mallard's stature would never dig a hole
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: and put himself at the bottom of that.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: It would never happen.
• 33:38
  Speaker 10: Exactly. That's why I'm cybergast. I message Coop the Loop
• 33:42
  Speaker 10: on Twitter X. He said, I'm off tonite. Oh, I'm
• 33:45

  Speaker 2: my mom, God rest her soul, she kept every piece
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: of crap that I made. I remember we made something
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: out of it. I was like for Mother's Day, we
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: made this thing out of wood. It was like wood
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: shop type thing. And I was like, in elementary school,
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: this was back in the day when you could do this.
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: Now there'd be seventeen million lawsuits. But it was like
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: a little piece of what we carved it and wrote
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: like a little note to mom. You know, we love
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: your mom and all that, and so that was I
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: remember that. That's the thing I remember. You asked me
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: the question mark any any fun art school memories?
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: Mark when you were a kid, So that sparks a memory.
• 38:39
  Speaker 12: When I was in grade school, we had to put
• 38:42
  Speaker 12: together a pillow. So they brought in once. It was
• 38:45
  Speaker 12: like a show and tell, so you just have to
• 38:47
  Speaker 12: repeat what's in front of us. So you had to
• 38:49
  Speaker 12: learn how to stuff the the you know, piece of
• 38:53
  Speaker 12: cloth that you had and you put the you know,
• 38:55
  Speaker 12: the soft stuff inside and you just have to sew
• 38:58
  Speaker 12: around just to make the pillow. So you you know,
• 39:01
  Speaker 12: needle and thread and sew it up and make a
• 39:03
  Speaker 12: little pillow.
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: It was great. Look at you arts and crafts guy.
• 39:07
