- 0:37Speaker 1: wild story from Yankees camp. What is Bronx bomber Gen
- 0:41Speaker 1: Carlos Stanton looking to accomplish by announcing that he's unable
- 0:45Speaker 1: to open a bag of chips? That you, if you
- 0:49Speaker 1: can open a bag of chips, you're in better shape
- 0:52Speaker 1: than Gen Carlos Stanton. Not financially because he's making three
- 0:56Speaker 1: hundred million. But yeah. Also, tell me what stands out
- 0:59Speaker 1: to you about the Major League Baseball fueled complaints that
- 1:03Speaker 1: the game is broken because of the lack of parody
- 1:08Speaker 1: in baseball.
- 1:09Speaker 2: We'll discuss that as well.
- 1:11Speaker 1: It's all coming your way right now here we go.

- 1:19Speaker 2: It's all about that tiger talk, not that.
- 1:21Speaker 1: Tiger, A different kind of tiger, group of tigers, and
- 1:24Speaker 1: all that welcome. In the beginning of another hour of
- 1:30Speaker 1: the Ben Mallor Show. We are in the air m
- 1:35Speaker 1: rewhere writing the radio waves as we turn ordinary into
- 1:42Speaker 1: extraordinary unless we don't coast the coast, border, the border,
- 1:47Speaker 1: and beyond on the vast and herculeanly powerful microphones of
- 1:53Speaker 1: fsr AMM neating live from the shine as we serve
- 2:00Speaker 1: up Frosty Moonshine from the world famous Fox Sports Radio
- 2:06Speaker 1: studios here trying to avoid the disappearing act now stretch
- 2:09Speaker 1: from Orlando. He's the guy, a big shot over there
- 2:12Speaker 1: at Mario's Pizza. He knows that this hour is made
- 2:15Speaker 1: possible by tire rack. For over forty years, ty Iraq
- 2:18Speaker 1: has been helping customers like our friend Robin from Ventura,
- 2:22Speaker 1: who hates the leprechaun Michael lepprecron there in Boston, find
- 2:27Speaker 1: the right tires for how, what and where they drive
- 2:30Speaker 1: ship fast and free back by free road hazard protection
- 2:34Speaker 1: with convenient installation options.
- 2:38Speaker 2: It makes Jill the Yankee fan in Minnesota very happy.
- 2:41Speaker 1: Like mobile tire installation ti iraq dot Com Await tire
- 2:45Speaker 1: buying showy so our lead this hour, get back to
- 2:51Speaker 1: the football conversation. But our lead this hour from baseball.
- 2:56Speaker 1: It's about Motown, but it's from the Grapefruit League there, Florida,
- 3:01Speaker 1: where the Sleeping Giant.
- 3:04Speaker 2: Well not really a sleeping Giant.
- 3:06Speaker 1: He's the Cy Young Award, been highly decorated last couple
- 3:09Speaker 1: of years. The Tarik schoolbl has made some headlines here
- 3:13Speaker 1: the Tigers ace discussing his reaction his reaction to trade
- 3:19Speaker 1: rumors as he enters his lame doc season in Detroit.
- 3:25Speaker 1: Trek Scooble in a contract year. I don't know if
- 3:27Speaker 1: he saw this, Maybe it was not on your radar.
- 3:31Speaker 1: Perhaps not so. Terrek scoobl gave a boilerplate response and
- 3:38Speaker 1: he said, well, you know, it's not something I can control.
- 3:40Speaker 1: All the standard cliches from sportscliche dot com. And then
- 3:44Speaker 1: you know, I said, his family would ask him about that.
- 3:46Speaker 1: That is standard chow is what it is. And still
- 3:51Speaker 1: the murmurs continue that the Tigers are light years away
- 3:56Speaker 1: from any kind of contractual agreement with School, who is
- 4:00Speaker 1: apparently hell bent on going to the market and putting
- 4:04Speaker 1: himself up there on the auctioning block. So that is
- 4:06Speaker 1: a good jumping off point, let us discuss the question
- 4:12Speaker 1: for the class. Give me your sense of how this
- 4:19Speaker 1: Trek Schouogel contract drama o rama plays out in Detroit
- 4:25Speaker 1: as we are still a few weeks away from the
- 4:28Speaker 1: real baseball season getting anyway. So my observations, I've got
- 4:32Speaker 1: Grand Canyon, party sized and hedge fun hotshots, and we
- 4:39Speaker 1: will combine all of these things together and we are
- 4:43Speaker 1: going to be.
- 4:43Speaker 2: Footloose and fancy free, is what we're going to be.
- 4:46Speaker 2: So number.
- 4:50Speaker 1: As we sink our teeth into this. So Number One,
- 4:54Speaker 1: we do the show. We'd like to say, we're about
- 4:56Speaker 1: to show right now. We were about today's show, We're
- 4:58Speaker 1: about tomorrow show. So we do the show today and
- 5:01Speaker 1: today there is a zero a bagel percent chance that
- 5:09Speaker 1: school bols trading again right now today. Now, if you
- 5:13Speaker 1: want me to project, I'm more than happy to do that.
- 5:16Speaker 1: The Tigers are growling and roaring. And if you have
- 5:20Speaker 1: paid any attention to the outlook the forecast for baseball
- 5:26Speaker 1: while Toronto was in the World Series and the Blue
- 5:28Speaker 1: Jays are expected to be good again, the Yankees always
- 5:32Speaker 1: get a certain.
- 5:32Speaker 2: Level of hype.
- 5:33Speaker 1: The Tigers, you know, they getting They're getting some love
- 5:36Speaker 1: there and the Mariners as well. But the Tigers, they're
- 5:40Speaker 1: pretty high up there, and everyone's kind of sipping that
- 5:43Speaker 1: Motor City Kitty kool aid.
- 5:45Speaker 2: And I don't know if that's a good idea, Probably not,
- 5:47Speaker 2: Probably not.
- 5:48Speaker 1: Now, the will of beast in the room, the will
- 5:51Speaker 1: the beast in the room, the trip to the land
- 5:54Speaker 1: of the cacti and the sand because there is a
- 5:58Speaker 1: gap the size of the Grand Canyon here. And a
- 6:01Speaker 1: hummingbird zipped by my ear the other day, whispering that
- 6:06Speaker 1: Derek Scoogle wants.
- 6:07Speaker 2: Four one hundred million dollars alleged late.
- 6:13Speaker 1: The Tigers, of course, not clutching their their pearls. They're
- 6:17Speaker 1: clutching their wallet. And supposedly, at one point, I'm not
- 6:20Speaker 1: sure this is still the case. At one point there
- 6:23Speaker 1: was a two hundred and fifty million dollars separation. And
- 6:27Speaker 1: that's not rounding numbers up or down. That's two hundred
- 6:30Speaker 1: and fifty million. Now the team, the Tigers, owned by
- 6:33Speaker 1: what we call old pizza money. Old pizza money Mike
- 6:39Speaker 1: Gillich died years ago and he left.
- 6:41Speaker 2: The team to his family.
- 6:43Speaker 1: And let's just say they're not lighting they're not lighting
- 6:47Speaker 1: cigars with one hundred dollars bills.
- 6:48Speaker 2: They're not.
- 6:49Speaker 1: They're running this more like a family hardware store, and
- 6:53Speaker 1: they're just kind of keeping the thing going and all that.
- 6:55Speaker 1: If they're winning in July, if there's no sting, they're
- 7:00Speaker 1: playing good baseball in July, then school will ride this
- 7:03Speaker 1: thing out. That's that's he's untouchable. However, if they start
- 7:10Speaker 1: floundering like a fish out of water, the Tigers then
- 7:15Speaker 1: will revisit us, and the Malarods will flip to minus
- 7:19Speaker 1: one ninety that his ass is out of town. His
- 7:23Speaker 1: ass has grassed sixty five percent chance. If they're not
- 7:25Speaker 1: getting it done midway through the season, now you can
- 7:29Speaker 1: He said, well, I don't know what you're talking about,
- 7:31Speaker 1: but you cannot be caught. As the Angels were when
- 7:35Speaker 1: they had sho Hee Otani.
- 7:37Speaker 2: They were a faux contender.
- 7:40Speaker 1: His last year in Anaheim at around the trade deadline,
- 7:44Speaker 1: and there were multiple teams that wanted Otani, and Ardie
- 7:48Speaker 1: Marino loved all that money they've gotten from the Japanese businesses,
- 7:52Speaker 1: so they stood there and they kept they kept Otani,
- 7:55Speaker 1: and they got caught with their pants around their ankles
- 7:58Speaker 1: and didn't make the move. So you'd rather get something.
- 8:02Speaker 1: If you're not willing to pay the player. You'd rather
- 8:04Speaker 1: get something, even if it's an empty, empty backpack.
- 8:08Speaker 2: You did something.
- 8:10Speaker 1: But right now it's a game of bach bach bach chicken.
- 8:15Speaker 1: It's leverage chicken. I don't even know if that's real chicken.
- 8:19Speaker 1: As long as Detroit is roaring, and then they'll stay.
- 8:23Speaker 1: But a bad couple of weeks in June, the for
- 8:25Speaker 1: sale sign goes up faster than if you were you
- 8:29Speaker 1: remember back in.
- 8:30Speaker 2: Eight, the foreclosure crisis of eight.
- 8:33Speaker 1: Now page two to Tampa, to Tampa, we go the
- 8:37Speaker 1: Grapefruit League.
- 8:38Speaker 2: We stay in the Great Fruit League Spring training.
- 8:40Speaker 1: Big story here today involving the New York Yankees and
- 8:45Speaker 1: slugger Jean Carlo. Jean Carlos Stanton went viral. Now did
- 8:52Speaker 1: he hit a six hundred foot home run? No, he's
- 8:58Speaker 1: as large as a barge. And Stanton, the three hundred
- 9:02Speaker 1: million dollar big bopper, announced that he is in such
- 9:08Speaker 1: bad shape. How bad is it? John Carlos Stanton claims
- 9:13Speaker 1: that he cannot open a bag of chips because of
- 9:18Speaker 1: the elbow pain that he's got. Cannot open a bag
- 9:22Speaker 1: of chips. I know, I know, Oh MG, ohmg, I
- 9:28Speaker 1: am in better condition than John Carlos Stanton. I should
- 9:31Speaker 1: be playing for the New York Yankees. Well, Stanton says
- 9:34Speaker 1: he's determined to play the full season.
- 9:36Speaker 2: I'm sure that's going to happen, unless it's not. So.
- 9:39Speaker 1: The question on this one, what is Yankee slugger John
- 9:43Speaker 1: Carlo Stanton looking to accomplish? What do you think he's
- 9:47Speaker 1: looking to accomplish by announcing that he's unable to open
- 9:50Speaker 1: a bag of delicious chips? So it sounds like he's
- 9:54Speaker 1: auditioning for a leading role in a Lifetime movie, to
- 9:57Speaker 1: me go up to Vermont in a hall Mark Lifetime
- 10:00Speaker 1: movies that make those up in my mind. But John
- 10:02Speaker 1: Carlos Stanton, who is If you look at him from afar,
- 10:06Speaker 1: he's built like a Greek god, carved out of just
- 10:10Speaker 1: pure granted, pure granted.
- 10:13Speaker 2: John Carlos Stanton.
- 10:14Speaker 1: And now he claims he can't even open a bag
- 10:15Speaker 1: of chips because his elbows are screaming and barking and
- 10:18Speaker 1: all that is. You're looking for a purple heart. They
- 10:20Speaker 1: don't give those out in baseball. You gotta be in
- 10:22Speaker 1: the military for that. They don't give those out in baseball. Now,
- 10:24Speaker 1: I would tell you right now, I got advice. I'm
- 10:26Speaker 1: gonna help out the Red Sox. I'm gonna help out
- 10:28Speaker 1: the Blue Jays. I got the Orioles and the Rays.
- 10:31Speaker 1: I got you all those American Leagueese teams. All right,
- 10:33Speaker 1: let me help you out. All right, you're facing the Yankees.
- 10:36Speaker 1: Stanton is digging into the batter's box.
- 10:39Speaker 2: What do you do?
- 10:40Speaker 1: You throw a fastball, you throw a curveball, change up slider.
- 10:45Speaker 2: What do you do? Here's what you go props. You
- 10:49Speaker 2: go to props.
- 10:49Speaker 1: You pull out of your back pocket a small bag,
- 10:54Speaker 1: a small bag of chips, and if those don't work,
- 10:58Speaker 1: you get the party size bag of sour cream and
- 11:00Speaker 1: onion ruffles. And gian Carlo will say.
- 11:04Speaker 2: Oh my god, I can't do it.
- 11:07Speaker 1: He will turn into creamy goodness in a puddle. So,
- 11:11Speaker 1: by the way he is he also like what is
- 11:15Speaker 1: he a caveman?
- 11:15Speaker 2: Or something like?
- 11:16Speaker 1: Why is he trying to open the bag with his elbows?
- 11:19Speaker 1: Aren't you supposed to use your your hands? Like not
- 11:22Speaker 1: how that works. It's a true American tragedy. So by
- 11:25Speaker 1: announcing he plans on playing all season, gian Carlo, I
- 11:30Speaker 1: guess he wants you and I to believe that he's
- 11:33Speaker 1: a modern day baseball Rambo playing through pain.
- 11:38Speaker 2: And yeah, so if if you can't.
- 11:41Speaker 1: Handle opening up a snack bag, how does he pass
- 11:46Speaker 1: a physical?
- 11:48Speaker 2: Like serious question?
- 11:50Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I'm sure in the offseason he's his snug
- 11:53Speaker 1: as a bug and he's relaxing and all that stuff.
- 11:55Speaker 1: When you go to the season, don't you have to
- 11:56Speaker 1: take a physical to play? You're selling your boy to
- 12:00Speaker 1: eat when you're a pro athlete. It's a little different
- 12:03Speaker 1: than the brothels in the Vada, but you're selling your body.
- 12:05Speaker 2: That's what you're doing, you know. And so there you go.
- 12:08Speaker 1: The only way that he plays a full season, we've
- 12:12Speaker 1: determined here is on the rookie level of MLB the show.
- 12:17Speaker 2: And then he's got a shot.
- 12:18Speaker 1: And what he needs is the wisdom of Lou Holtz,
- 12:22Speaker 1: who said famously that eighty percent of the people don't
- 12:26Speaker 1: care about your problems, and the other twenty percent are glad.
- 12:28Speaker 2: You have them, which is spot on, right.
- 12:31Speaker 1: Do you really care that gian Carlos Stanton is bitching
- 12:35Speaker 1: because he can't open a bag of chips? Come on,
- 12:37Speaker 1: and there's people that hate the Yankees, They're like, oh,
- 12:39Speaker 1: that's great, so good and channel the Nike the Nike Way,
- 12:44Speaker 1: their slogan, just do it.
- 12:46Speaker 2: Just do it.
- 12:46Speaker 1: Put the chips down, see ball, hit ball, kaboom, kaboom, kaboom,
- 12:52Speaker 1: kaboom kaboom. Right, final point to the labor talks in
- 12:57Speaker 1: baseball always a fun topic to the labor talks. So
- 13:00Speaker 1: there has been a grassroots movement that is underway here.
- 13:04Speaker 2: People say we need a boycott baseball. It's not right,
- 13:07Speaker 2: it's not fair. We can we as fans if there's
- 13:10Speaker 2: a message.
- 13:12Speaker 1: So as the season draws closer, with spring training underway,
- 13:15Speaker 1: World Baseball class is coming up. This group, this group,
- 13:22Speaker 1: they are telling you, and they're telling me that there's
- 13:25Speaker 1: only eight teams that have any kind of chance of
- 13:30Speaker 1: contending for the World Series.
- 13:32Speaker 2: Eight teams.
- 13:32Speaker 1: There's thirty teams in baseball, which means, if my math
- 13:35Speaker 1: is correct, twenty two other baseball teams are essentially the
- 13:39Speaker 1: Washington Generals, not the Nationals, although they are they might
- 13:44Speaker 1: as well be called the Washington Generals.
- 13:46Speaker 2: But that's it.
- 13:47Speaker 1: So this argument is the game is broken, competitive balance
- 13:52Speaker 1: is dead.
- 13:52Speaker 2: We need parody.
- 13:54Speaker 1: We need a world where the Las Vegas Athletics, I
- 14:00Speaker 1: guess they're in Sacra the Sacramento Athletics have.
- 14:02Speaker 2: A chance to win, you know, cue the violins and
- 14:04Speaker 2: all that.
- 14:04Speaker 1: So question, tell me what stands out to you about
- 14:11Speaker 1: this grassroots campaign here. You know, Major League Baseball complaints
- 14:16Speaker 1: about the game being broken because of the lack of parody,
- 14:21Speaker 1: the few teams that have a chance to win, so
- 14:23Speaker 1: the game is broken. Chorus is this is the same
- 14:29Speaker 1: dusty vinyl record that baseball owners have been spinning like
- 14:35Speaker 1: DJs for thirty plus years. Every single time labor talks
- 14:42Speaker 1: are on the horizon. You get the funeral potatoes, you
- 14:47Speaker 1: get the funeral music, and you have a party if
- 14:49Speaker 1: you're the owner.
- 14:50Speaker 3: Baseball is dying. Oh by it's damn yeah.
- 14:56Speaker 1: And there are people, they're called dumb people who have
- 14:59Speaker 1: been fighting the baseball is dead. They've been yelling baseball
- 15:03Speaker 1: is dead, dying on that mountain for years since I
- 15:06Speaker 1: was a kid.
- 15:08Speaker 2: I did some shows on this years ago. But we
- 15:10Speaker 2: went back and looked, and you could.
- 15:11Speaker 1: Go through the archives of newspapers going back to the
- 15:15Speaker 1: eighteen late eighteen hundreds.
- 15:18Speaker 2: There were people.
- 15:20Speaker 1: There was a famous column written by somebody from northern California,
- 15:23Speaker 1: long dead, long dead, who traveled to the east coast
- 15:27Speaker 1: to watch the sport of baseball, and determined in the
- 15:30Speaker 1: late eighteen hundreds that baseball was no longer popular, that
- 15:34Speaker 1: it would not last that long, and wrote a whole
- 15:37Speaker 1: column about it. And here we are over well over
- 15:40Speaker 1: one hundred years after that, one hundred and twenty something
- 15:42Speaker 1: years and still going, still going. But the baseball dying.
- 15:46Speaker 1: That caucus is a very loud, voisterous caucus.
- 15:51Speaker 3: It is competitive balances crumbling. Hide the women, hide the.
- 15:56Speaker 1: Children, right, And this is often the default setting of
- 15:59Speaker 1: the Major League Baseball owners, the robber barons.
- 16:04Speaker 2: This is their setting.
- 16:05Speaker 1: It's the card they pull from the bottom of the
- 16:08Speaker 1: deck whenever.
- 16:10Speaker 2: The labor negotiations are no way.
- 16:11Speaker 1: Now, Scott Boris told me this years ago, and he's
- 16:13Speaker 1: still mentioned this from time to time. He correctly has
- 16:16Speaker 1: jabbed at the owners over the years. The most powerful
- 16:18Speaker 1: man in baseball, Scott Borrows that if the sport is
- 16:23Speaker 1: in such a sinkhole financially, if you believe that to.
- 16:26Speaker 2: Be true, If you.
- 16:28Speaker 1: Believe that to be true, it's like the Flat Earth society,
- 16:30Speaker 1: if you believe the Earth is.
- 16:31Speaker 2: Flat, and why are certain things the way they are?
- 16:35Speaker 1: But if you're someone that thinks the sport of baseball
- 16:38Speaker 1: is in a sinkhole financially. Why aren't owners selling at
- 16:43Speaker 1: clearance prices? Why are the hedge fund hotshots, the hedge
- 16:48Speaker 1: fund bros scratching and calonging to get in before anyone
- 16:54Speaker 1: buys the team. You know how this works if you're
- 16:55Speaker 1: gonna buy an investment that big.
- 16:58Speaker 2: If you're one of the people that's qualified to buy
- 17:00Speaker 2: a baseball.
- 17:01Speaker 1: Team, you go in there and you have your team
- 17:04Speaker 1: of bean counters and they crack open the books and
- 17:08Speaker 1: they look at the finances and they go over all
- 17:10Speaker 1: the numbers. So you're a prospective owner of a big
- 17:13Speaker 1: league baseball team and you get to play peek a
- 17:16Speaker 1: boo with the spreadsheets before buying the team, and they
- 17:21Speaker 1: see what what do they see? They see black ink,
- 17:24Speaker 1: They don't see red ink. There's not ready. There's black ink.
- 17:27Speaker 1: Now the dirty little secret here. And baseball owners they
- 17:31Speaker 1: want you to be on the side of campaigning for them.
- 17:34Speaker 1: But owning an MLB team is a country club membership
- 17:37Speaker 1: that prints money. And Artie Morino is a great example.
- 17:42Speaker 1: He's incompetent, he doesn't know what he's doing. He's a
- 17:43Speaker 1: complete loser as an owner, but he makes money. The
- 17:46Speaker 1: Angels make money, and he's gonna make more money by
- 17:48Speaker 1: not putting certain games on spring training on TV. No
- 17:51Speaker 1: games are on TV, and announcing that the moms of
- 17:54Speaker 1: Orange County are the fans of the Angels don't care
- 17:56Speaker 1: about winning because they're just moms and they just want
- 17:58Speaker 1: to have a place to take their kids and eat
- 18:00Speaker 1: hot dogs and popcorn and nachos.
- 18:02Speaker 2: And then watch the game and then go home. And
- 18:04Speaker 2: they don't care who wins. That's already.
- 18:06Speaker 1: It's a country club membership, you know, print money, passive income.
- 18:10Speaker 1: You get subsidized by the taxpayers because politicians want free
- 18:14Speaker 1: season tickets and jackets and all that stuff.
- 18:16Speaker 2: So what a what a hustle owning a sports team.
- 18:19Speaker 1: That's why it was lining up to do it. And
- 18:22Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. This whole conversation is irrelevant. The players
- 18:25Speaker 1: are not going to swallow a salary cap. They're not
- 18:28Speaker 1: unless they see the books. The owners won't allow them
- 18:30Speaker 1: to see the books, so that's not going to happen.
- 18:34Speaker 2: So forget about it.
- 18:35Speaker 1: And you know that's it, and we can, you know,
- 18:38Speaker 1: have this merry go round around the carousel of hypocrisy
- 18:43Speaker 1: and the other thing people have discounted here is if
- 18:45Speaker 1: you ever got to that point where they opened up
- 18:47Speaker 1: the books and the players said, okay, we'll get to
- 18:49Speaker 1: a salary cap and I don't think it'll happen in
- 18:50Speaker 1: my lifetime. At some point, eventually it will happen, but
- 18:53Speaker 1: in my lifetime won't happen. The players can say, okay,
- 18:56Speaker 1: we got to get rid of the arbitration system. So
- 18:59Speaker 1: then the small market teams are screwed again because nobody
- 19:01Speaker 1: wants to play there, so they're they're kicked in the
- 19:05Speaker 1: nuts and the player's gonna make.

- 22:07Speaker 1: the tabloids and there was a there was a celebrity
- 22:10Speaker 1: break up here in the tabloids. If you saw this
- 22:12Speaker 1: or not, Shane in Des Moines and Kelly from from
- 22:19Speaker 1: Nashville via Seattle no longer an item. So the big
- 22:23Speaker 1: celebrity breakup, there's all over the tabloids. Everyone's said yapping
- 22:26Speaker 1: about that.
- 22:26Speaker 2: I was just curious about that the other day. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 22:29Speaker 2: it's it's all over TMZ. They've all got it. So
- 22:32Speaker 2: good luck, Kelly.
- 22:33Speaker 1: I guess you're moving back to Tennessee and yeah, so I.
- 22:38Speaker 2: Hope everything works out for both of them. We loved
- 22:40Speaker 2: you both.
- 22:41Speaker 1: You know. Normally, what I'm my experience with this, and
- 22:44Speaker 1: I've done this a long time. If a couple listens
- 22:47Speaker 1: to a radio show and then they get divorced or
- 22:51Speaker 1: they were engaged and they end up no longer engaged,
- 22:54Speaker 1: normally both of them stopped listening, or at least one
- 22:58Speaker 1: of them completely stops listening. Uh, sometimes you might keep one,
- 23:03Speaker 1: you might keep one.
- 23:05Speaker 2: So we'll see what happens with that. There was a
- 23:07Speaker 2: there was a couple in Kentucky.
- 23:09Speaker 1: They were huge fans of the show and like next
- 23:13Speaker 1: level super fans of the show, and then they I
- 23:16Speaker 1: didn't hear from them for a while, and then I
- 23:19Speaker 1: emailed and said everything, Okay, I thought maybe one of
- 23:21Speaker 1: them had died or something like that, and as yeah,
- 23:23Speaker 1: we got divorced.
- 23:24Speaker 2: Oh, I say, okay, thoughts to you. Whenever anyone just disappears,
- 23:29Speaker 2: I'm like, did you die?
- 23:31Speaker 6: Yeah?
- 23:31Speaker 1: And unfortunately on this shift oftentimes they did die.
- 23:34Speaker 2: Which is which is unfortunate. Which is unfortunate, but that
- 23:37Speaker 2: is the the way it goes. Uh not a Burner says.
- 23:41Speaker 1: The Fox Sports app just revealed an AI Colin Cowherd
- 23:45Speaker 1: option for users. I asked my AI Ben Mahller about
- 23:50Speaker 1: Sam Darnold, and I couldn't.
- 23:51Speaker 2: Believe what I heard.
- 23:53Speaker 1: Yeah, I see what you're doing there, some of the
- 23:56Speaker 1: semi messages, my buddy Jay semi a messages. I guess
- 23:59Speaker 1: they're doing some AI cowhard things like oh, it's good
- 24:02Speaker 1: for them. But right now AI, they're listening to everything.
- 24:07Speaker 1: There's a whole archive of stuff that we've done that
- 24:09Speaker 1: is in AI, like my whole body of work.
- 24:12Speaker 2: They're just taking and doing what they want with their
- 24:15Speaker 2: on AI.
- 24:16Speaker 1: DJ spin Patrick in San Diego. He wants us to
- 24:19Speaker 1: talk about the teas. We'll get to that coming up
- 24:21Speaker 1: in a couple minutes. But we have some calls. I'm
- 24:23Speaker 1: taking a call in a while. Bad job by us.
- 24:25Speaker 2: Let's go to the phones and we'll say hello to
- 24:27Speaker 2: Kevin in Maine.
- 24:28Speaker 1: Hello Kevin, Welcome, Hot NFL talk incoming, Hot NFL talk incoming.
- 24:34Speaker 2: Hello Kevin, how are you, sir? Kevin?
- 24:41Speaker 1: If I was any better, Kevin, I would have the
- 24:44Speaker 1: Patriots would have won the super Bowl.
- 24:45Speaker 2: But they didn't.
- 24:46Speaker 6: You know, Yeah, well you got that right. I had
- 24:49Speaker 6: a big bet day I got. I put money on
- 24:52Speaker 6: them at the Encore in Boston at plus fourteen hundred
- 24:57Speaker 6: back and no way back in September, and I would
- 25:00Speaker 6: have made a twenty dollars. I would have made twenty
- 25:03Speaker 6: eight hundreds.
- 25:04Speaker 2: So did you have you did you head your bet
- 25:06Speaker 2: at all?
- 25:07Speaker 1: Did you think about hedging your bet and try to
- 25:09Speaker 1: get a little bit of money and ensure that you
- 25:10Speaker 1: were going to win that?
- 25:13Speaker 6: Yes, that's something I do every year. I put twenty
- 25:16Speaker 6: on growing up in Boston. I'm seventy one, and I
- 25:20Speaker 6: go way way back to Yeah, Trimpski and Hannah and so,
- 25:26Speaker 6: but you've seen a.
- 25:28Speaker 2: Few things, sir, haven't you. You've seen a few things
- 25:30Speaker 2: in your sporting fantasm.
- 25:31Speaker 6: Oh yeah yeah, Strempsky, hog handed John Halet Chuck and
- 25:36Speaker 6: I was a half season taken holder of the bird
- 25:39Speaker 6: Mcalene's Parish State.
- 25:42Speaker 2: That was an amazing team, the old Boston Garden.
- 25:45Speaker 4: Right.
- 25:45Speaker 1: Can you let me ask a guy like you? Okay,
- 25:47Speaker 1: you've been around, You've seen this. You saw back when
- 25:49Speaker 1: Celtics played at the Boston Guard. You remember read our Bach.
- 25:51Speaker 1: He would make the locker room, there was always the
- 25:53Speaker 1: visiting locker room was small. They turned the heat on,
- 25:56Speaker 1: they they turned the hot water. Now, what do you
- 25:59Speaker 1: think as a guy like Kevin, you see these players
- 26:01Speaker 1: today complaining about childcare, complaining about the quality of the
- 26:05Speaker 1: food and the cafeteria, the toilets in the in the
- 26:09Speaker 1: locker room, what do you think as an old timer
- 26:12Speaker 1: like that?
- 26:12Speaker 2: What do you think? There?
- 26:13Speaker 6: Well, I'm back was he was alleged and first of
- 26:18Speaker 6: all too and it goes way back to the days
- 26:21Speaker 6: of Bill Russell and Casey Jones and Sam Jones and
- 26:25Speaker 6: when the Celtics started and when they because of the prejudice,
- 26:30Speaker 6: they would he would not have his team stay at
- 26:33Speaker 6: a hotel. And he was a genius.
- 26:36Speaker 2: He always well he would.
- 26:37Speaker 1: They wouldn't say it because there was segregation right back
- 26:39Speaker 1: in the day.
- 26:40Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what.
- 26:41Speaker 6: Even if Bill Russell had trouble buying a home and
- 26:45Speaker 6: reading way back in sixty nine, No, nobody really cared
- 26:49Speaker 6: about No.
- 26:49Speaker 1: But by my point, by my point though is though
- 26:52Speaker 1: Kevin like the attitudes like people dealt with the players
- 26:56Speaker 1: had to deal with the nonsense, right and now now
- 26:59Speaker 1: they're the player of today are like, ah, this is
- 27:01Speaker 1: not right.
- 27:02Speaker 2: We were not treated like VIPs. It's not right.
- 27:05Speaker 6: So well, you know, the old Boston Garden had the
- 27:10Speaker 6: big tank eurinos, there were only six men's bedrooms bathrooms.
- 27:15Speaker 7: And.
- 27:17Speaker 6: He did know that two were the teams. He'd turn
- 27:20Speaker 6: up the heat and you know, against the Lakers and
- 27:23Speaker 6: all that kind of stuff. He was a genius. And
- 27:28Speaker 6: Johnny Mouse the announcer, and he'd be rolling over in
- 27:32Speaker 6: his grave right now with the NBA with cheerleaders and
- 27:35Speaker 6: the way the Celtics run now and that kind of stuff.
- 27:38Speaker 6: But you know, those were the great old days and
- 27:42Speaker 6: now I am an old time I'm retired Pharmasst. Forty
- 27:45Speaker 6: two years, I know now, and I listened to the
- 27:49Speaker 6: R Show usually by six am in the morning because
- 27:52Speaker 6: I go on my talk radio with his sister station.
- 27:57Speaker 6: We I am Boston and up here the Big Job.

- 28:14Speaker 2: There's Kevin there in Maine.
- 28:16Speaker 1: Guy a pharmacist for all those years, saw a lot
- 28:20Speaker 1: of amazing things. And when I was I was a kid,
- 28:25Speaker 1: the Red Sox never won anything. And you know, he's
- 28:28Speaker 1: older than I am, and he saw the Red Sox
- 28:30Speaker 1: the Curse of the Bambino. And they used to to
- 28:33Speaker 1: a Yankee Red Sox game at Yankee Stadium in my
- 28:36Speaker 1: early twenties, and they were chanting nineteen eighteen, nineteen eighteen
- 28:42Speaker 1: because that was the year the Curse of the Bambino begain.

- 29:37Speaker 1: You might get a phone call. I'm just saying, you know,
- 29:39Speaker 1: I might be a phone call. So a Hall of
- 29:43Speaker 1: Fame quarterback NFL legend trying to buy.
- 29:48Speaker 2: A baseball team.
- 29:51Speaker 1: We're talking about Drew Brees. Drew Brees who so old.
- 29:56Speaker 1: He played for the old San Diego Chargers.
- 29:59Speaker 2: And he is in a bidding. I don't know bidding
- 30:03Speaker 2: wars the right way, but the white Red phrase it.
- 30:05Speaker 2: But he's bidding.
- 30:06Speaker 1: He's got obviously not he's got a lot of money,
- 30:08Speaker 1: not that kind of money, but his business partner, and
- 30:11Speaker 1: he's going to be the celebrity face of the group
- 30:13Speaker 1: if they get the Padres. They're trying to buy the
- 30:16Speaker 1: San Diego Padres and they are in a bidding war.
- 30:19Speaker 2: With the other. Wow again, I keep using the word
- 30:21Speaker 2: bidding war of the phrase.
- 30:23Speaker 1: Joe Lacob the Golden State Warriors' owners.
- 30:30Speaker 2: He's had that franchise.
- 30:31Speaker 1: I think he's been the majority owners since twenty twenty.
- 30:36Speaker 1: He's in there, some dude that owns part of English
- 30:41Speaker 1: Premier League team. He's involved another rich dude who owns
- 30:45Speaker 1: a different famous soccer team. They're all bidding, they're all
- 30:49Speaker 1: betting they get there at that page of the Padres.
- 30:52Speaker 2: And it's gonna be very difficult.
- 30:55Speaker 1: The Padres had this golden era, this golden era where
- 31:00Speaker 1: they they owned the team, and that they the last
- 31:03Speaker 1: owner there.
- 31:03Speaker 2: Peter is it Peter Sidler? I believe he died at
- 31:09Speaker 2: a younger age and he was supposed to and he
- 31:11Speaker 2: spent all kinds of money.
- 31:13Speaker 1: Oh, it spoiled San Diego, big market in a team.
- 31:16Speaker 1: They always potter is always cheap. When I was when
- 31:18Speaker 1: I worked in San Diego. They were at a big
- 31:20Speaker 1: fire sale and so I'll see what happens with that.
- 31:23Speaker 2: But Drew Brees.
- 31:26Speaker 1: Major League Baseball. Let's go to Andre and his dog
- 31:29Speaker 1: Willis in the Commonwealth. We do have coming up a
- 31:31Speaker 1: few minutes away. We are going to have Mallard of

- 31:41Speaker 8: Doing Ben, Thanks for taking the call. Good to be
- 31:44Speaker 8: with you. You know what I mean. Now we have
- 31:47Speaker 8: we had an epiphany almost you know, the power has
- 31:50Speaker 8: been restored after the blizzard of twenty twenty six. You know,
- 31:53Speaker 8: we were without power for a couple of days and
- 31:57Speaker 8: I was gonna check in the other night, but it
- 31:59Speaker 8: was newby Knights. It was a newby night. So we
- 32:01Speaker 8: got we gotta spread the wealth, right, every man a king,
- 32:04Speaker 8: but no man wears the crowns right. A little bit
- 32:07Speaker 8: of Huey Long for anybody. You appreciate that documentary by
- 32:11Speaker 8: Ken Burns. So I wasn't able, but I'm really glad
- 32:13Speaker 8: to be with you tonight. Based on conversation is just unbelievable. Right,
- 32:19Speaker 8: you know, you're out there and you're in the big bad,
- 32:21Speaker 8: soalthy projects. You're dropping your eyes. You know, you're pocketing
- 32:24Speaker 8: the con Havid Yard. I appreciate that other call giving
- 32:27Speaker 8: you a little bit of history about the Celtics Red
- 32:30Speaker 8: hour back. You know, people with the questions about the
- 32:32Speaker 8: locker room, turn the heat up, you know, and all
- 32:35Speaker 8: these different things. They probably did go on to help
- 32:38Speaker 8: the Celtics get those eleven championships, right with Bill Russell
- 32:42Speaker 8: nine as a player, two as a player coach, and
- 32:45Speaker 8: Red Aurbach or maybe some of the things that flatly shady,
- 32:49Speaker 8: you know in terms of the competitive advantage. But he
- 32:52Speaker 8: did hire the first African American coach head coaching team sports,
- 32:56Speaker 8: mister Bill Russell. So there's a lot of progress that
- 32:59Speaker 8: was made there. Event we started with the locker rooms,
- 33:01Speaker 8: did we not? What is going on in Pittsburgh? Five
- 33:04Speaker 8: stalls for an entire battalion and entire football team. Come on,
- 33:09Speaker 8: Pittsburgh Steelers, all right? I mean, yeah, come.
- 33:12Speaker 1: On, Andre, if you get Andre, you know, nobody beats
- 33:15Speaker 1: the whiz. But it'll go out in the bushes, you
- 33:17Speaker 1: know you can.
- 33:18Speaker 2: There were men. You don't need a toilet, you go
- 33:20Speaker 2: out in the bushes. You know, go ahead, sure, and.
- 33:23Speaker 8: When they're playing the Ravens here for that week. You know,
- 33:26Speaker 8: I imagine a lot of those guys they get to
- 33:28Speaker 8: inter they they don't take a shower, they don't say
- 33:30Speaker 8: they do all these things like they're in boot camp.
- 33:32Speaker 8: But I get all of that, But well, it isn't.
- 33:34Speaker 2: It isn't the story.
- 33:35Speaker 1: You know, we've worked through some NFL guys here that's
- 33:37Speaker 1: during the game and the heat of battle was sometimes
- 33:40Speaker 1: at the bottom of the pile, you just you know,
- 33:42Speaker 1: you gotta go, you go. You know, that's what you
- 33:44Speaker 1: do right in your pants right there.
- 33:46Speaker 8: I don't know about all that, okay, but maybe if
- 33:48Speaker 8: they had an extra stall, we could we could mitigate
- 33:51Speaker 8: some of those things. The second thing that we need
- 33:53Speaker 8: to get straightened out here, Okay, I got no problem
- 33:56Speaker 8: with the three or four wonderful ladies at Fox Sports Radio.
- 34:00Speaker 8: You know they have they have a restroom at the
- 34:02Speaker 8: clean restroom. It's wonderful. They're doing well there. But for
- 34:05Speaker 8: the other thirty, you know, forty people over here Fox Sports. Okay, listen,
- 34:11Speaker 8: you're in loss, then here's what you do, because we
- 34:13Speaker 8: got to have, right, we need the surplus value that
- 34:16Speaker 8: the Ben Mallie Show is bringing in. We can't compromise that, Okay,
- 34:20Speaker 8: So we have to invest so that we can get
- 34:23Speaker 8: the better with the higher return labor and capitol. Here
- 34:25Speaker 8: the bench, stick with me. Listen, mister Bomber. Over here,
- 34:28Speaker 8: mister Bomber, he built this stadium. What do they have
- 34:31Speaker 8: a restroom.
- 34:32Speaker 2: For every like three people they lead the NBA? And toilets.
- 34:36Speaker 1: They have the most toilets in the entire world now
- 34:39Speaker 1: all sports, more toilets per capita than anyone.
- 34:44Speaker 8: Okay, so the good people you're there in the City
- 34:47Speaker 8: of Angels. Okay, let's let's learn from that, all right.
- 34:50Speaker 8: Steve Bomber Riches's own room team sports. Never mind the
- 34:52Speaker 8: fact that he has his side deals ten twenty million
- 34:55Speaker 8: dollars over here, you know, and well, we're not worried
- 34:57Speaker 8: about that. We're worried about making sure the okay, the
- 35:01Speaker 8: labor power as what they need.
- 35:02Speaker 1: Particularly las you think how much you think Bomber spends
- 35:05Speaker 1: on urinal cakes must be a lot, right are They
- 35:09Speaker 1: may mean they have those.

- 38:51Speaker 2: It's gotta be Gonzo no corect Also.
- 38:54Speaker 1: Not Mark Bavarro from DJ spin Patrick. The correct answer
- 38:58Speaker 1: is Tony Gonzale.
- 39:00Speaker 2: It's total dollar. How about that? To the third degree,
- 39:08Speaker 2: this is one big vent gets Grail.
- 39:11Speaker 7: Kobolo bo Nick celebrated his twenty sixth birthday on Wednesday,
- 39:16Speaker 7: which led to social media trolls pointing out how he's
- 39:18Speaker 7: only played two years but is already the age of
- 39:20Speaker 7: a season veteran. Then, how big of a deal is
- 39:23Speaker 7: Knicks being older than the other quarterbacks in his draft class?
- 39:26Speaker 2: Well, it doesn't.
- 39:27Speaker 1: You're really worried about your thirty seven and thirty eight now,
- 39:31Speaker 1: you know.
- 39:31Speaker 2: It's that famous quote, yesterday's history. Tomorrow is a mystery.
- 39:34Speaker 2: Today's a gift. Just enjoyed today. And if he's good,
- 39:38Speaker 2: it doesn't matter. You can plan.
- 39:39Speaker 1: You cannot plan on these guys playing for fifteen years.
- 39:41Speaker 2: It always it is like ridiculous to me, And when
- 39:43Speaker 2: it happens, it's it's breaking the norm.
- 39:47Speaker 1: If Lebronco's got six good years out of Bowknicks, that
- 39:49Speaker 1: should be happy.
- 39:49Speaker 7: Next, we've talked about Lebron James returning to the Cavaliers,
- 39:53Speaker 7: but it's now being reported that the Knicks are a
- 39:54Speaker 7: potential free agent destination for Lebron. But do you think
- 39:57Speaker 7: there is any chance that Lebron lands somewhere other than Cleveland?
- 40:00Speaker 1: Well, not in New York. He's avoided New York like Anthrax.
- 40:02Speaker 1: He doesn't want to play for Dolan. Dolan's still there,
- 40:05Speaker 1: so I don't buy that. It's either Cleveland. Maybe Miami,
- 40:08Speaker 1: but he hates pat Riley too, so it's Cleveland.
- 40:10Speaker 7: Next, Timz caught up with Kenny Smith and asked him
- 40:12Speaker 7: about the recent retirement of Chris Paul. The Jet pretty
- 40:15Speaker 7: much guaranteed that Cpete will end up being a head
- 40:17Speaker 7: coach at some point, Ben, Do you think that's what's
- 40:19Speaker 7: in Chris Paul's future.
- 40:21Speaker 2: No, he's living the life for Riley.
- 40:23Speaker 1: You really want to back to back in Sacramento and
- 40:25Speaker 1: Salt Lake City as an NBA coach?
- 40:27Speaker 2: Come on, he made you. He made four hundred million.
- 40:30Speaker 1: On the court, plus all the endorsements and all the
- 40:32Speaker 1: insurance stuff. He's got to live the heat in this lifestyle, right,
- 40:36Speaker 1: the pursuit of pleasure, Why would you even futs around
- 40:40Speaker 1: with that?
- 40:40Speaker 2: No, no, no, don't be a coach. Why would you
- 40:44Speaker 2: do that? By there it is mallardly third degree? How
- 40:48Speaker 2: did we do? I guess you passed. That's not a guess.
- 40:52Speaker 1: That's a solid degree right there, mallardly third degree
