0:53
Speaker 1: As we stop on by and dominate between the hours
0:57
Speaker 1: of why am I still awakened? Should I just call
1:02
Speaker 1: in sick? Those kind of weird hours coast to coast,
1:05

1:27
Speaker 1: and this portion of the Ben Mallas Show made possible
1:29
Speaker 1: in part by our friends at tire Rack for over
1:31
Speaker 1: forty years. It's a long time. Mister nice guy knows
1:34
Speaker 1: that it's a long time. Tire Iraq has been helping
1:37
Speaker 1: customers find the right tires for how, what and where
1:41
Speaker 1: they drive, ship fast and free. I know Jonathan and
1:45
Speaker 1: Delaware is impressed by that. Back by free road hazard
1:48
Speaker 1: protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation, tire
1:54
Speaker 1: iraq dot com the way tire body should be. We'll
1:58
Speaker 1: get back to the All Star home run. Derby goes
2:00
Speaker 1: to the big dumper cal Raley not without controversy. He
2:05
Speaker 1: got out of the first round based on a NERD measurement,
2:08
Speaker 1: a NERD measurement, a NERD measurement, and he advanced to
2:13
Speaker 1: the second round by less than an inch. It's all
2:18
Speaker 1: about the AI. That was an AI measurement. You okay
2:22
Speaker 1: with that? You're good with that. Why not just have
2:23
Speaker 1: him decide it hit a hit a home run, have
2:27
Speaker 1: a one off. But they didn't do it, so we'll
2:29
Speaker 1: change it up this hour. And college football, what are
2:34
Speaker 1: you talking about it? Totally July, while you're talking about
2:37
Speaker 1: college football, you loser. It's the rare, inappropriate, rare in
2:41
Speaker 1: appropriate Malard monologue on college football. We have a humdinger
2:45
Speaker 1: of a developing story, not that unpredictablely developing story, but
2:49
Speaker 1: a humdinger nonetheless. So, former Crimson Tide quarterback by the
2:55
Speaker 1: name of Greg McElroy, can you say game manager? I
3:00
Speaker 1: knew you could. So Greg McElroy has started a bit
3:04
Speaker 1: of a wildfire in the Southeastern Conference's Southern Fried football.
3:09
Speaker 1: You have not heard yet, You're about to hear the
3:13
Speaker 1: rest of the story. So Greg McElroy said that he
3:19
Speaker 1: has heard, always loved when somebody says I heard through
3:22
Speaker 1: the grapevine. So he has heard from a quote person
3:26
Speaker 1: very much in the know, person, very much in the know,
3:31
Speaker 1: that his former coach, Nick Saban, is not done yet.
3:39
Speaker 1: Do do do Do Do Do do do do do yep.
3:42
Speaker 1: Now Nick Saban, now he famously quit Alabama couldn't handle
3:46
Speaker 1: the changing landscape and college football, so he said no
3:51
Speaker 1: moss Nick Saban and ran off to the boob tube
3:54
Speaker 1: to put makeup on and act like a fool. So
3:58
Speaker 1: Nick Saban, who quit last year, he was on college
4:01
Speaker 1: game Day and he was the guy. When he started talking,
4:03
Speaker 1: you took a nap, and he was not not at
4:07
Speaker 1: the SEC network, the propaganda arm of the Southeastern Conference
4:12
Speaker 1: panel of analysts at the Southeastern Conference Media Day event
4:17
Speaker 1: this year, which has been taking place, so he wasn't there. Now.
4:21
Speaker 1: Greg McElroy, his former quarterback, pointed out that it was notable.
4:29
Speaker 1: It was notable. The person that gave him this information
4:32
Speaker 1: was notable. So who's notable? What makes someone notable? And
4:38
Speaker 1: said they think Saban is not necessarily done coaching. In fact,
4:43
Speaker 1: said the person was adamant, adamant that Nick Saban would
4:47
Speaker 1: return to the sideline. So let us discuss the question
4:50
Speaker 1: for the esteem panel, which you're part of. The question
4:54
Speaker 1: is what are the chances? What are the chances that
4:58
Speaker 1: the old Alabama football coach Nick Saban returns to the sidelines.
5:05
Speaker 1: So I've got Wall Street, Wikipedia, and original Cup of Noodles,
5:11
Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together and
5:15
Speaker 1: we are going to make some chicken soup for the soul.
5:20
Speaker 1: Not just chicken soup, but chicken soup for the soul.
5:23
Speaker 1: So number, I said number. So I'm gonna set the
5:35
Speaker 1: Malord Sportsbook odds on this at plus one fifty. I'm
5:40
Speaker 1: sending the odds at plus one fifty. So if you're
5:42
Speaker 1: not good with math, that implies a forty percent chance
5:48
Speaker 1: that we activate Saban Watch. Saban Watch activated. That's right.
5:58
Speaker 1: I know this big, big news, big news. So we
6:03
Speaker 1: think that's actually pretty good forty percent if you look
6:06
Speaker 1: at all the different variables involving Nick Saban. He's going
6:11
Speaker 1: to turn seventy four on Halloween. Spookcky. Now, as a
6:18
Speaker 1: rule of thumb, the R word retirement, which again this
6:22
Speaker 1: is kind of a flimsy retirement, college football and just
6:28
Speaker 1: sports in general. I learned it at an early age.
6:32
Speaker 1: I used to be a big boxing fan, and as
6:34
Speaker 1: soon as I'm retired, that's it. In really any form
6:38
Speaker 1: of entertainment, whether it's like how many bands have retired,
6:41
Speaker 1: so this is the last tour because they got to
6:43
Speaker 1: sell tickets and then they take a year off or two,
6:46
Speaker 1: and then they come back and they go on tour again,
6:49
Speaker 1: and they say, now this is really the last tour.
6:51
Speaker 1: This is it. The same thing happens in sports, right,
6:54
Speaker 1: It's a coach who's been good, who steps aside and
7:00
Speaker 1: says I ain't coming back. That's it. It's about as
7:05
Speaker 1: final as a person dying in a soap opera. You
7:08
Speaker 1: know those soap opera desks. Well, of a sudden, they
7:11
Speaker 1: show up a couple of episodes later, well, and one
7:15
Speaker 1: minute the villain has exited stage left, see you later,
7:19
Speaker 1: And the next the villain returns right sipping gatorade in
7:25
Speaker 1: this case and calling blitzes on the sidelines with a
7:29
Speaker 1: scowl on their face. And Nick Saban, I know he
7:33
Speaker 1: won some kind of award, but if you watch them
7:35
Speaker 1: on television, pretty bad at television. No entertainment value by
7:40
Speaker 1: Nick Saban, just a hard oh on television. I don't
7:44
Speaker 1: know anyone that thought Saban was good at TV other
7:46
Speaker 1: than those that are sucking the toes of Nick Saban.
7:48
Speaker 1: Some of those people liked him, but for people that
7:50
Speaker 1: are just looking to get entertained, Nick Saban not very entertaining.
7:54
Speaker 1: So he was bad at television. But he got the
7:56
Speaker 1: job because he had the resume. And that's how that work.
8:00
Speaker 1: You get those jobs because of your resume, and it's
8:02
Speaker 1: who you know and all that stuff, and people get
8:05
Speaker 1: all excited because your resume, and you know, speaking riddles
8:09
Speaker 1: and coach speak and all that gibberish and all that nonsense.
8:14
Speaker 1: Now ask yourself, ask yourself this question. What does a
8:19
Speaker 1: football lifer coaching football since he was a young lad,
8:24
Speaker 1: what does he do in the spotlight dims like what
8:26
Speaker 1: do you do? You go out in garden? You a
8:29
Speaker 1: home and garden action in there. You play a little
8:31
Speaker 1: church bingo on a Friday night, try to win big money,
8:34
Speaker 1: big money, big money. Yeah, golf. What do you fish?
8:39
Speaker 1: Is that what you did? You go fishing in a
8:41
Speaker 1: lake somewhere? Yeah. Nick Saban about his version of fishing
8:46
Speaker 1: is reeling in some five star recruit and pantsing a rival.
8:52
Speaker 1: That's his move. Now this story is bouncing around, bounce bounce, bounce,
8:58
Speaker 1: bounce by, and it's going all over the echo chamber,
9:01
Speaker 1: kind of like a pinball machine. The echo chambers gets
9:04
Speaker 1: in there and starts bouncing all over the place, and
9:07
Speaker 1: there's some he hits some buzzer. You win like a
9:10
Speaker 1: couple extra points on that. And so I imagine that
9:15
Speaker 1: the whispers, which do have some credibility because it's one
9:18
Speaker 1: of Saban's former players. It was one of his former
9:20
Speaker 1: quarterbacks that's tossing that out into the to the ether.
9:25
Speaker 1: Who's saying that. But you imagine just that alone, just
9:29
Speaker 1: the mere speculation behind closed doors, not on the record,
9:33
Speaker 1: but off the record. You have athletic directors and big
9:37
Speaker 1: time boosters at down in the luck football programs or
9:43
Speaker 1: even those that think they're not down on the lock,
9:46
Speaker 1: you know, from East Lansling to College Station and everywhere
9:48
Speaker 1: in between. Son, wait a minute, you're saying there's a chance.
9:52
Speaker 1: You're saying there's a chance there. Nick Saban's not dead.
9:55
Speaker 1: He's just bored. He's just bored. And if you want
9:59
Speaker 1: to get technical, Nick Saban did not take retirement. They retire.
10:07
Speaker 1: He took a TV job. He went on hiatus, is
10:10
Speaker 1: what he did. And in many ways he escaped. And
10:13
Speaker 1: so that's the part of the story where you're like, well,
10:15
Speaker 1: Nick Saban innerly retire. He just was tired of the
10:17
Speaker 1: bull crap. You get to a certain age, whatever your
10:21
Speaker 1: job is. I've learned this from my older relatives when
10:24
Speaker 1: I was younger. You just get to a point in
10:26
Speaker 1: life where you just tired of the bull crap. You're
10:28
Speaker 1: tired of people not doing their job. You're tired of
10:31
Speaker 1: people you know, not doing the things they're supposed to do,
10:34
Speaker 1: and you're tired of the rules to get put in there,
10:36
Speaker 1: and you just like shut it down. That's it. And
10:39
Speaker 1: so Nick Saban slipped through the back door of college football.
10:45
Speaker 1: He just went to television, and I didn't want to
10:49
Speaker 1: be part of it. He did not want to be
10:51
Speaker 1: part of what was going on the nil. No, Nick
10:54
Speaker 1: Saban liked when he was the guy that was given
10:56
Speaker 1: out money and he was the one handing out envelopes
10:59
Speaker 1: with cash, that's what like. He didn't like when everyone's
11:01
Speaker 1: doing it. And the transfer portal, what is wrong with you?
11:06
Speaker 1: The transfer portal? Have you lost your bloody mind? My god?
11:11
Speaker 1: Transfer port and revenue sharing? What is that? Nonsense? Nonsense?
11:17
Speaker 1: Nick Saban said. So Saban saw what was happening, this
11:20
Speaker 1: metamorphosis as college turning into some kind of Wall Street
11:25
Speaker 1: like internship thing mixed in with some other crap. And
11:29
Speaker 1: so they say, hey, I'm a septugineer in I'm out.
11:33
Speaker 1: I'm out. As we turned the page to page two,
11:36
Speaker 1: here where are some of the college landing spots? Let
11:42
Speaker 1: me kind of hold your hand walk you through this.
11:44
Speaker 1: So where are some of the college landing spots for
11:47
Speaker 1: Nick Saban? If Nick Saban were to come back in
11:51
Speaker 1: the multiverse, so Saban he can have any job that
11:56
Speaker 1: he wants. Can we agree on that? To any job
11:58
Speaker 1: that Saban wants outside of like maybe three there's maybe
12:02
Speaker 1: three jobs Saban can't have. But outside of that, any
12:06
Speaker 1: job he wants, he's got the Q score, he's got
12:09
Speaker 1: the awards. On his Wikipedia page, there's a lot of
12:13
Speaker 1: chess candy, a lot of chess candy there. And so
12:18
Speaker 1: now I don't buy that he's necessarily going back to
12:21
Speaker 1: college football. That's not the play here. That's not the play. However,
12:28
Speaker 1: for the purposes of this Malard monologue, to engage in
12:30
Speaker 1: this hyper hypothetical conversation, and we will embrace the reality
12:36
Speaker 1: that in the multiverse, there is a dimension where Nick
12:39
Speaker 1: Saban does return to college football that he decides I
12:44
Speaker 1: had my little temper tantrum, I had my conniption fit,
12:47
Speaker 1: I had my hissy fit, and I want back in.
12:50
Speaker 1: So if Saban did return, there's only two conferences he
12:53
Speaker 1: can go back to. You've got the varsity and the
12:56
Speaker 1: junior varsity. The varsity of the Big Ten in the
12:58
Speaker 1: Southeastern Conference. The junior of our city is everyone else.
13:02
Speaker 1: It's everyone else. So you've got either Southeastern Conference or
13:06
Speaker 1: the Big Ten. And do not discount Nick Saban walking
13:12
Speaker 1: right back into Tuscaloosa and saying, Hey, I want my
13:16
Speaker 1: old gigback, or going up to Batol Rouge Louisiana and saying, hey,
13:21
Speaker 1: I used to be here. I wouldn't mind coming back.
13:24
Speaker 1: I know you hired Brian Kelly, but I want back.
13:26
Speaker 1: Or let's go back to Michigan and I want to
13:30
Speaker 1: make East Lancing great again and go back to East
13:33
Speaker 1: Lansing and all that good. You can always sell if
13:36
Speaker 1: you're Nick Saban unfinished business at any of those schools.
13:42
Speaker 1: He can say, listen, I won at Alabama, I had
13:46
Speaker 1: some success. I did win at LSU, but I didn't
13:48
Speaker 1: win enough, and I had Michigan State. I did not
13:51
Speaker 1: get to the peak of my superpowers that came later.
13:55
Speaker 1: So you can sell that. And it's obviously not about
13:59
Speaker 1: the money because he's loaded. Have you seen the photos
14:03
Speaker 1: of Nick Saban's home, and he's got multiple homes. But
14:06
Speaker 1: this guy's absolutely stacked. He's got enough dough to live
14:10
Speaker 1: the life of Riley and for multiple reincarnations of Nick
14:15
Speaker 1: Saban for the rest of his days and then days
14:17
Speaker 1: after that. Now the NFL is much more likely. No,
14:22
Speaker 1: it's not, he's too old. I'll tell you why. I
14:25
Speaker 1: believe the NFL is more likely for Nick Saban because
14:29
Speaker 1: Saban sucked at a time you cannot suck with the Dolphins.
14:35
Speaker 1: And we were on these microphones at Fox Sports Radio
14:38
Speaker 1: when that was going on, and it was a major
14:42
Speaker 1: blot and remains a major blot on the resume of
14:45
Speaker 1: Nick Saban. Not to mention the fact when the rumors
14:48
Speaker 1: were he was going to go coach at Alabama, and
14:50
Speaker 1: Saban lied to the media in Miami about taking the
14:54
Speaker 1: job at Alabama while the private plane was warming up
14:58
Speaker 1: at the airport to take him to Alabama to sign
15:01
Speaker 1: the paperwork to become the coach of the Crimson Tide.
15:06
Speaker 1: So the NFL chewed up Nick Saban, there's no other
15:11
Speaker 1: way to say. It couldn't handle it, made bad decisions
15:14
Speaker 1: with personnel, and of course he spent all of his
15:17
Speaker 1: years at Alabama. Whenever the NFL comes up, he always
15:20
Speaker 1: blames the training staff in Miami. He never takes accountability
15:24
Speaker 1: that he was a failed NFL coach, doesn't do it.
15:27
Speaker 1: He always well, I wanted Drew Brees and I couldn't
15:30
Speaker 1: get Drew Brees, and so that's why I had to
15:31
Speaker 1: settle for Dante Culpepper, and he sucked. And it's not
15:35
Speaker 1: my coaching and anything, and it's I didn't pick the
15:37
Speaker 1: wrong players. It's the training staff there in Miami. That's
15:40
Speaker 1: the reason I wasn't good. But he ran out of Miami.
15:44
Speaker 1: He ran out of Miami like the building was on fire.
15:48
Speaker 1: You cannot wait to get out of here. And that
15:50
Speaker 1: relationship with the Dolphins back in the early part of
15:53
Speaker 1: the two thousands, right, he left there and it was
15:58
Speaker 1: like quicker than somebody finishing a Netflix night of binge watching.
16:02
Speaker 1: I mean, he's gone, I'm out see you later. And
16:07
Speaker 1: two seasons, two seasons. I believe Nick Saban lasted, if
16:10
Speaker 1: I remember correctly, with the Dolphins, and then he went
16:13
Speaker 1: back to college and never looked back. He only talked
16:16
Speaker 1: about it every once in a while. Somebody would bring
16:18
Speaker 1: it up and he'd he'd come up with his normal
16:20
Speaker 1: excuses and say, well, it was not my fault, ain't
16:23
Speaker 1: my fault. That guy's the problem, right, And so going
16:27
Speaker 1: back to the NFL would, as the the intellectuals like
16:31
Speaker 1: to say, close the circle. So final point, which NFL
16:36
Speaker 1: job makes the most sense for Nick Saban? If my
16:40
Speaker 1: hypothesis is correct, that the NFL would be the place
16:44
Speaker 1: to go for Nick Saban, because that is the one
16:46
Speaker 1: flaw that is the turd in the punch bowl for
16:49
Speaker 1: Nick Saban. So which NFL job? So you look at Saban.
16:53
Speaker 1: Here the shopping list. What's on Nick Saban's shopping list?
16:56
Speaker 1: He wants to buy the groceries. He wants the right chestboard.
17:00
Speaker 1: He wants that chessboard to be perfectly set off, the
17:03
Speaker 1: right pieces in place, right, everything lined up in a row,
17:06
Speaker 1: pre assemble. He does not want to go to Ikea
17:11
Speaker 1: and have to build the thing by himself. Does not
17:13
Speaker 1: want that. Nobody wants that, right, Nobody wants that. So
17:18
Speaker 1: think of it like one of those NFL jobs. That's
17:21
Speaker 1: like the original cup of noodles. You just add water.
17:25
Speaker 1: That's it. Just add water, warming up a little bit.
17:28
Speaker 1: You're in good shape. An established quarterback is a must.
17:32
Speaker 1: An established quarterback is a must. Gotta have it. So,
17:36
Speaker 1: by the process of elimination for Nick Saban, there's one
17:40
Speaker 1: job that is obvious for Nick Saban in the NFL.
17:46
Speaker 1: You ready for it, you figured it out. Here we go, Buffalo,
17:53
Speaker 1: Here we go, Buffo Low who says no, the Buffalo
17:57
Speaker 1: Bills have just entered the chat. Let me make my
18:00
Speaker 1: elevator pitch. Why if Nick Saban does come back, the
18:04
Speaker 1: Buffalo bills make the most sense. Here's why. All right, now,
18:10
Speaker 1: I know for some of you it sounds like bananas. Well,
18:13
Speaker 1: that's why the guy's doing the Overnight show. Let me explain.
18:18
Speaker 1: It would be like if you were to go into
18:20
Speaker 1: a bar in Rochester and see George Clooney working as
18:25
Speaker 1: a bartender. That makes those Why would you go to Rochester?
18:28
Speaker 1: Why would Nick Saban go to Buffalo? Let me make
18:30
Speaker 1: my case. Saban has never been a guy that needs
18:34
Speaker 1: La or New York. He does not need that. He's
18:37
Speaker 1: from the old country. He doesn't need that crap. That's
18:41
Speaker 1: not what he is, right, and he mostly coached in
18:46
Speaker 1: relatively small college towns Tuscaloosa where the biggest man in
18:51
Speaker 1: Tuscaloosa is Van the one leg at Bama man So Tuscaloosa,
18:55
Speaker 1: and East Lansing, Michigan, Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Those are the places.
19:00
Speaker 1: So you've got that. Then you look at the bills
19:03
Speaker 1: and whether you think Nick Saban's in line for that
19:06
Speaker 1: job or not, we can all come to the conclusion
19:09
Speaker 1: that Sean McDermott is not long for the bills. He's
19:12
Speaker 1: on the endangered species list for coaches. The bills have
19:15
Speaker 1: been hovering close to being a really good team, and
19:19
Speaker 1: they always find a new way to screw it up.
19:21
Speaker 1: And a lot of it is the decision making by
19:24
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott and his decisions on the sidelines. Not all,
19:29
Speaker 1: but a lot. So Sean McDermott's on the hot seat.
19:32
Speaker 1: Buffalo has an NFL MVP quarterback Josh Allen. They checked
19:37
Speaker 1: that box. What's in the box? They checked the box.
19:40
Speaker 1: So they've got that and they've been just inches away
19:44
Speaker 1: like Brent Rooker was in the home run derby with
19:47
Speaker 1: Cal Rowley, just an inch away, just an inch away
19:51
Speaker 1: from greatness. And the downside obviously, listen, the Lake effect
19:57
Speaker 1: blizzards are no joke, right The amount out of snow
20:01
Speaker 1: that they get at that stadium is insane. It makes
20:06
Speaker 1: Siberia look like a day at the riviera right when
20:08
Speaker 1: you're when you're watching these games, and there's a it's
20:12
Speaker 1: like a snow globe when they're playing these games. So, uh,
20:15
Speaker 1: you know, one or two a year it's a it's
20:17
Speaker 1: like a Blizzard snow globe game and all that stuff,
20:19
Speaker 1: and so, but that actually works is in advance, you
20:22
Speaker 1: don't have the distractions you had in Miami, or you'd
20:24
Speaker 1: have in La or New York where or Vegas where
20:27
Speaker 1: people actually want to go out and live their life
20:28
Speaker 1: and party it up. You don't have to worry about that, right,
20:32
Speaker 1: So Buffalo makes a lot of sense. Now. The only
20:35
Speaker 1: other possibility, and I'm sure this we talked about even
20:38
Speaker 1: though it's not going to happen the Dallas Cowboys, because
20:40
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones will find a way to grab headlines by saying, well,
20:44
Speaker 1: what about the Cowboys. They don't have a coach, that
20:46
Speaker 1: Schottenheimer guy. I mean, it's the worst coach in the NFL.
20:48
Speaker 1: What a joke that higher was total placeholder, higher, total
20:53
Speaker 1: seat filler, And Jerry Jones might wake up on this.
20:57
Speaker 1: I need some headlines. Let me get the Cowboys and
21:00
Speaker 1: the news here and uh yeah, I'll start selling next Saban.

Speaker 1: back to the phones.
27:58
Speaker 7: The Broncos shades of blue and orange are much better
28:00
Speaker 7: than the barrishades.
28:01
Speaker 1: Of Lu and Orange.
28:01
Speaker 5: I'm just gonna say that.
28:02
Speaker 1: You do realize you're playing with fire and you do
28:04
Speaker 1: not want to mess with that. Man Tony in the
28:06
Speaker 1: Bay Area, Okay, you don't want to go there. You
28:10
Speaker 1: don't want to do that. Uh, let's say hello to
28:13
Speaker 1: Oscar in La La, land in La. What's going on? Oscar? Welcome?
28:18
Speaker 8: What's up?
28:19
Speaker 9: What's up matter?
28:20
Speaker 8: I'm always listening to you.
28:21
Speaker 6: I never get to call it.
28:23
Speaker 1: Oh my god, dreams have come true. You need to
28:25
Speaker 1: dream about winning the lottery and then that's gonna happen.
28:28
Speaker 8: Oh man, that's be awesome.
28:30
Speaker 1: Talking about pitching, Oh, I'm the bullpen blows chunks. What
28:35
Speaker 1: are you talking about? Do you think about I think
28:36
Speaker 1: of the pitching. The bullpen's over used. Uh, the the
28:40
Speaker 1: big pickup, the two big pickups of the bullpen. I
28:42
Speaker 1: don't trust either one of them in a playoff game.
28:45
Speaker 1: This guy Scott has been terrible. He's got the most
28:48
Speaker 1: blown saves in baseball. I'm concerned they got to make
28:51
Speaker 1: some moves. Did Dodgers have to improve that bullpen? That's
28:53
Speaker 1: not a championship bullpen.
28:56
Speaker 6: Just came and killed it.
28:57
Speaker 8: After having a terrible week last week.
28:59
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, he'd suck him Milwaukee. Yeah, yeah, Yeah, I'm
29:01
Speaker 1: a motor. I trust on the mount. I think he'll
29:03
Speaker 1: be fine in the playoffs, But don't do I trust
29:06
Speaker 1: Blake Snell. No, I don't trust Blake Snell because he'll
29:09
Speaker 1: be hurt again by the time the playoffs come around.
29:12
Speaker 1: But I'm most concerned about the bullpen because Dave Roberts
29:14
Speaker 1: and the people running the Dodgers do not allow starting
29:17
Speaker 1: pitchers to go third time through the lineup. They get
29:20
Speaker 1: to eighty five ninety pitches, they take him out of
29:23
Speaker 1: the game. So they've already burned through their bullpen because
29:25
Speaker 1: of the way the pitching has been so far this year.
29:28
Speaker 1: So they gotta they gotta get some reinforcements. It's they
29:32
Speaker 1: get there.
29:32
Speaker 9: Yeah, we'll get it.
29:34
Speaker 1: The money, they definitely have the money. They got a
29:37
Speaker 1: lot of doll over there. They got a printing press
29:39
Speaker 1: under Dodger Stadium. It would also.
29:41
Speaker 9: Helps to ripping you to cracking up, dude.
29:46
Speaker 1: Well, listen, just the facts, as you know, Oscar, just
29:49
Speaker 1: the facts there.
29:52
Speaker 6: I like to listen to you because you know, I'll
29:55
Speaker 6: listen to uh.
29:56
Speaker 3: Ruggin and Rodney over here.
29:58
Speaker 8: You know, Yeah, they speak good things. But then when
30:01
Speaker 8: I hear you coming home from work all late.
30:03
Speaker 9: And I hear you ripping my Dodgers.
30:05
Speaker 8: But like, I like hearing both sides, like the good
30:07
Speaker 8: and the.
30:07
Speaker 1: Pam you understand, Oscar, I come from a place of
30:10
Speaker 1: tough love. I actually like the Dodgers. I I want
30:13
Speaker 1: to see the Dodgers win. People don't think they think
30:17
Speaker 1: I'm like a Dodger hater or something. I'm not. I
30:20
Speaker 1: like the Dodgers. I always thought you were no.
30:23
Speaker 9: No.
30:23
Speaker 1: In fact, years ago. I don't know how old are you,
30:25
Speaker 1: by the way, Oscar. Oh you're thirty five, right, so, yeah,
30:28
Speaker 1: you were years ago. I actually hosted postgame. I had
30:31
Speaker 1: Vessey's job. I did the Dodger postgame show years ago
30:36
Speaker 1: before I started working here. So and it was very
30:39
Speaker 1: as you might imagine, Oscar, was very tough for me
30:41
Speaker 1: because when you have that job, you can only say
30:42
Speaker 1: positive things. You can't say negative things, which is very
30:45
Speaker 1: difficult for me to only do positive I don't do
30:48
Speaker 1: that very well. So anyway, well, thanks for listen, man,
30:50
Speaker 1: you listen all day and all night. That's wonderful. God
30:52
Speaker 1: bless you, thank you, you're the man. All right, thank
30:56
Speaker 1: you man, I ever get some sleep. The Oscar listens
31:02
Speaker 1: when Rodney Pete's on Magic Johnson's yacht and they called
31:05
Speaker 1: me to fill in over there. I want a yacht
31:08
Speaker 1: you want now, you just don't want a yacht. You
31:10
Speaker 1: want one hundred million dollar mega yacht. You don't want
31:13
Speaker 1: some piece of crap yacht. You want a big time yacht.
31:15
Speaker 1: You know.
31:16
Speaker 2: To be honest, Ben, I don't want a yacht. I
31:19
Speaker 2: want to be on someone else's yacht.
31:21
Speaker 1: That's right, That's right. It's like, what's the line you want?
31:24
Speaker 1: You want to hang on babysit someone else's kids, but
31:27
Speaker 1: not your own kids.
31:28
Speaker 2: Exactly. I don't want the maintenance, Yeah, exactly.
31:30
Speaker 1: Let's go to Let's go to Andre and his dog Willis.
31:34
Speaker 1: Will Andre be in the malor palooza? What's going on? Andre?
31:38
Speaker 1: In the Commonwealth?
31:41
Speaker 8: What's going on?
31:42
Speaker 9: Ben? I am in the Commonwealth right now?
31:46
Speaker 8: Or what Willis is here with me?
31:48
Speaker 1: Man?
31:48
Speaker 8: I gotta tell you, I'm a little bit flustered. We're
31:51
Speaker 8: seeing a trend now in Major League Baseball. Okay, with
31:55
Speaker 8: the participation trophy situations we got going on on gifting
32:00
Speaker 8: people awards. Mister cal Rawley here and did he really
32:06
Speaker 8: earn the victory or is MLB again looking for that
32:10
Speaker 8: looking for that headline. We talked about this previously in
32:12
Speaker 8: terms of putting folks in the All Star Game. I
32:15
Speaker 8: didn't otherwise belong there. What's going on here, Ben, Well.
32:19
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're referring to it. Does cal Raley won the
32:22
Speaker 1: home run derby? The question is should he have been
32:24
Speaker 1: allowed to get to the next round because of the
32:26
Speaker 1: first round? He tied at the end of the first
32:28
Speaker 1: round and they went to some stat cast nerd thing
32:32
Speaker 1: and said that in less than an inch his home
32:35
Speaker 1: run was further when they should have just had Brenton
32:37
Speaker 1: Rooker and cal Raleigh have a home run contest, the
32:42
Speaker 1: first one to hit, you know, most home runs whatever,
32:45
Speaker 1: swing off, and that's how they should have done it.
32:47
Speaker 1: It's so stupid they did it.
32:49
Speaker 8: The way they did it, exactly, Ben, Okay, in the
32:52
Speaker 8: olden times that you did when you met right in
32:54
Speaker 8: the town square. Okay, mano Imano, you know what I mean.
32:57
Speaker 8: Ballot a buster's trucks, shout out to the Cohen brother
33:00
Speaker 8: and you had a throw down, right, That's what That's
33:02
Speaker 8: what should have happened.
33:02
Speaker 9: And again, Baseball, why are you hyper sensitive about the
33:06
Speaker 9: time of the game, and we all got to watch
33:09
Speaker 9: an attention span. If the product is good, if it's exciting,
33:12
Speaker 9: if it's engaging, it's if it's you know, if it's
33:14
Speaker 9: in bigger rating, people are going to tune in. So
33:16
Speaker 9: back to your points, Ben, go ahead and have it
33:18
Speaker 9: to have a throw down.
33:19
Speaker 5: You know what I mean.
33:19
Speaker 8: We don't end the.
33:20
Speaker 9: Game in a tie. What are we talking about here?
33:23
Speaker 8: Okay, tie, get out?
33:24
Speaker 1: There's no ties in baseball.
33:27
Speaker 9: It's Jimmy Dougan in here, so we can.
33:28
Speaker 1: That's right there, you go.
33:31
Speaker 9: It's an overall trend. Man that I'm that I'm.
33:33
Speaker 1: Not like more more important, more important, I forget that.
33:36
Speaker 1: Who cares about that? Will Will Willis be in the
33:39
Speaker 1: mallor paloozer. I know you don't want to be You
33:42
Speaker 1: don't want to be it, and you're a professional. You
33:43
Speaker 1: have hot takes. You're not about that action. But Willis.
33:47
Speaker 1: If we could somehow get Willis in here and have
33:50
Speaker 1: an actual pet in the mallor pollute? Do we have
33:54
Speaker 1: any pets in the malapulus? Any pets agreed to be
33:56
Speaker 1: in the MALAPLUSI had any animals? Do we have nothing
33:59
Speaker 1: on the sign up. She no animals have yet, so
34:01
Speaker 1: you Willis would have the chance to win in the
34:05
Speaker 1: animal category.
34:08
Speaker 8: Willis is locked in right now, and I'm getting essentially
34:12
Speaker 8: Benny's picking up what you're putting down, all right, So
34:14
Speaker 8: sign Willis up.
34:16
Speaker 1: Our first dog in the Malor Palooza. Willis is going
34:20
Speaker 1: to enter. Now, you got to You have a couple
34:22
Speaker 1: of days here, Andre to come up with an act. Now,
34:24
Speaker 1: remember we can't see you, we can only hear you,
34:27
Speaker 1: so it has to be something audible and if you
34:30
Speaker 1: can train. You have a couple of days here to
34:31
Speaker 1: train Willis and get the Scooby snacks out and come
34:36
Speaker 1: up with an act.
34:38
Speaker 9: He's a little bit to date right now, but he
34:41
Speaker 9: I think he's just processing all of this.
34:44
Speaker 5: Can you ask Willis what hour he would like to
34:46
Speaker 5: perform his act?
34:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're trying to book this. It's very important here.

Speaker 7: to be arguably the greatest ever. Ben.
37:49
Speaker 5: Do you think goat status isn't reach for Jefferson?
37:51
Speaker 1: Well, that shows you. Randy Moss, first of all, is
37:53
Speaker 1: grown up. Right. The old Randy Moss was are you
37:55
Speaker 1: bleeping kidding me? I'm Randy Effin Moss. I'm the greatest
37:58
Speaker 1: of all time. But now Randy's older, right, had some
38:00
Speaker 1: health problems, so now he's like, no, Justin Jefferson has
38:02
Speaker 1: a chance. He is weasel turn Now in terms of
38:05
Speaker 1: Viking history, all Justin Jefferson has to do is be
38:08
Speaker 1: the top wide receiver on a Super Bowl winning Viking team,
38:10
Speaker 1: and he zooms past Randy Moss does he have a chance, sure,
38:14

38:21
Speaker 7: the All Star break. They're on a ten game win
38:24
Speaker 7: streak and just three games behind the division leading Blue Jays.
38:26

Speaker 5: Do you think they will be buyers at the deadline?
38:30
Speaker 1: The Red Sox should always be buyers at the deadline.
38:32
Speaker 1: You play in Boston. Hello, you play in Boston. And
38:36
Speaker 1: ever since they traded Rafael Devers, it's almost like he
38:40
Speaker 1: was a tumor for that team. They got rid of
38:42
Speaker 1: the tumor and the Red Sox have taken off. It
38:44
Speaker 1: also helps if they played the Rockies and the White
38:46
Speaker 1: Sox in this stretch of ten wins and all that.
38:49
Speaker 1: But they look like a real team. He's young players.
38:50
Speaker 1: Some of these young guys are actually doing well. And
38:53
Speaker 1: we're heading into the dog days. And if you're in
38:55
Speaker 1: contention and you're a team like the Boston Red Sox,
38:58
Speaker 1: you go out, you go to market and you add
39:01
Speaker 1: players they need. I would think another starting pitching would
39:04
Speaker 1: be the most pressing need for the Red Sox. Just
39:06
Speaker 1: looking from Afar at their roster next.
39:09
Speaker 7: Terry Francona just became the thirteenth manager ever to reach

39:17
Speaker 7: you think Francona can climb before calling it a career.
39:19
Speaker 1: So Francona right now is thirteenth in wins all time.
39:23
Speaker 1: He's going to pass Leo de Rocher before the end
39:26
Speaker 1: of the year, and as a shot to pass Walter
39:28
Speaker 1: Alston like he's definitely he's eight behind Leo de Rocher,
39:33
Speaker 1: forty behind Walter Alston, but realistically tenth where Joe McCarthy
39:39
Speaker 1: is or Bucky Harris at number nine. He can finish
39:41
Speaker 1: number nine. Coop number nine? How did we do you pass?
