- 0:08Speaker 2: and a happy hump Day to you. It is Wednesday,
- 0:11Speaker 2: August nineteenth. Now Scott in Northern Kentucky says this podcast
- 0:15Speaker 2: a must listen. He says here in hour number one,
- 0:19Speaker 2: Mark Walter, that's the owner attempting to end end the
- 0:24Speaker 2: Dodgers and Lakers record breaking TV contracts early for a massive,
- 0:30Speaker 2: massive cartoon check payment. Now it didn't work out. How
- 0:35Speaker 2: do you size this up?
- 0:36Speaker 1: Though?
- 0:36Speaker 2: How do you size up the latest revelation from ownership Nation? Now,
- 0:41Speaker 2: speaking of the Dodgers, do you feel bad for Dodger
- 0:45Speaker 2: outfealer Kyle Tucker after he is getting trolled for crying
- 0:49Speaker 2: during a game on the bench, a little tear in
- 0:52Speaker 2: his eye. And he's been absolutely horrific this year for LA. Also,
- 0:56Speaker 2: what was Mariner's star Julio Rodriguez thinking when, while losing
- 1:02Speaker 2: twenty to nothing, he tossed the second out of an
- 1:05Speaker 2: inning against the Brewers into the bleachers. And we'll just
- 1:09Speaker 2: look at the wide angle lens on Jay Rod who
- 1:13Speaker 2: has one of these forever contracts. He certainly doesn't look
- 1:17Speaker 2: like a forever player at this point. I'll talk you
- 1:19Speaker 2: about all that and more. Right now, it's your second
- 1:22Speaker 2: bite of the apple, and it's here in our number one.
- 1:29Speaker 1: Putting the boob in boob tube.
- 1:33Speaker 2: If you will welcome in the beginning of another night
- 1:39Speaker 2: of the Ben Mahlor Show.
- 1:40Speaker 1: We are in the air em rewear.
- 1:45Speaker 2: Cheek to cheek as we sink below the audio waves
- 1:50Speaker 2: coast to coast and border to border and beyond on
- 1:53Speaker 2: the vast and refreshingly powerful microphones of FSR ming live,
- 2:01Speaker 2: good lie from the paper, the paper, confetti coming down
- 2:07Speaker 2: from the rafters. Have we win the championship every year?
- 2:11Speaker 1: Yeah? We don't finish in second place? No guaranteed.
- 2:13Speaker 2: Human from the world famous Fox Sports Radio studios where
- 2:18Speaker 2: Hank in Tokyo, Double O Mexican in San Diego, I
- 2:22Speaker 2: haven't heard him in a while, alf Fergdog, Malaprop, Gouty.
- 2:27Speaker 2: The all agree this is your one stop shop for
- 2:30Speaker 2: piping hot sports takes. Even Reggie, our buddy, the Army
- 2:34Speaker 2: vet there in Minnesota and Milkman Mike in Colorado. I
- 2:38Speaker 2: don't know about Texas Jack. I don't think he's recovered
- 2:41Speaker 2: from the Luca trade. Haven't heard from him as much recently,
- 2:47Speaker 2: but we are back at it, and oh what a
- 2:50Speaker 2: wonderful night it is. Oh what a fun night it is,
- 2:53Speaker 2: and a lot in store if you're with us for
- 2:55Speaker 2: the full red eye flight. We'll get to all that
- 2:57Speaker 2: coming up a little bit later. What we have to
- 3:00Speaker 2: look forward to in the meantime. Our lead story, the
- 3:04Speaker 2: plot thickens in the MLB dynasty, and the Dodgers on
- 3:12Speaker 2: the field beat the Colorado Rockies. The real story, though,
- 3:16Speaker 2: is off the field, So our lead is in la
- 3:19Speaker 2: and report bouncing around the pinball machine here just how
- 3:24Speaker 2: bad things are going for the embattled owner of the Dodgers,
- 3:28Speaker 2: this guy Mark Walter. Now we've been following and chronicling
- 3:32Speaker 2: his situation of late, the Dodgers owner. We are told
- 3:37Speaker 2: now because according to a report in one of the
- 3:39Speaker 2: trade papers speculating that Mark Walter, the Dodger owner, approached
- 3:45Speaker 2: Charter Communications, the parent company involved in the cable deal
- 3:50Speaker 2: that they have which everyone bitches about, all the loser fans.
- 3:56Speaker 2: Oh it's not fair, boo losers.
- 4:01Speaker 1: H you know who you are.
- 4:02Speaker 2: I'm embarrassed for you. It's okay, you don't have to
- 4:04Speaker 2: be I'm embarrassed for you. So the people that we
- 4:07Speaker 2: complain about the TV contract. Well, the Dodgers owner, if
- 4:09Speaker 2: you believe this report, went to the cable company and said, listen,
- 4:13Speaker 2: let's get let's get you out of this. Let's end
- 4:16Speaker 2: the TV contract. Not only for the Dodgers. He owned
- 4:18Speaker 2: the Lakers, so let's get rid of the Laker contract
- 4:20Speaker 2: as well. Let's get rid of all the local TV
- 4:22Speaker 2: deals and take the large lump sum payment right now.
- 4:28Speaker 2: Just pay out the deal, the buy now deal, and
- 4:32Speaker 2: pay up front and then you'll be done. And that's
- 4:35Speaker 2: it and see you later. So, if you didn't see this,
- 4:38Speaker 2: perhaps not. It's a fascinating, fascinating part of the story.
- 4:43Speaker 2: We think about the big money involved, and that is
- 4:47Speaker 2: supposed to be the secret sauce for the Dodgers. That's
- 4:50Speaker 2: what you all say, right, y'all tell me that, oh
- 4:52Speaker 2: it's not fair and all that stuff. Okay, Now, the
- 4:55Speaker 2: most striking part when you get down into the nitty
- 4:59Speaker 2: gritty here the TV contract, it is a twenty five year,
- 5:02Speaker 2: this generation twenty five year, eight point three five.
- 5:07Speaker 1: Billion with a B like man billion.
- 5:10Speaker 2: It averages that Dodgers get it's like three hundred and
- 5:13Speaker 2: thirty four million dollars a year Cha Ching Chow Jing
- 5:19Speaker 2: Chow jan from TV. All Right, that's one of the
- 5:22Speaker 2: richest and most valuable media deals in the world, not
- 5:28Speaker 2: just in America but in the world. It's insane the
- 5:32Speaker 2: amount of money. That's like Premier League soccer type money.
- 5:35Speaker 2: And it's just for the La Dodgers here. So, now,
- 5:38Speaker 2: Mark Walter, the reason he was supposedly looking and snooping
- 5:43Speaker 2: around trying to do this, he was willing to trade
- 5:45Speaker 2: away years and many years of that long term contract
- 5:52Speaker 2: because he needs the cash.
- 5:54Speaker 1: Now he's got a little problem. It's kind of a
- 5:57Speaker 1: big problem.
- 5:58Speaker 2: It's a pretty massive situation that he's facing right now.
- 6:02Speaker 2: The proposed agreement did include the Lakers, so it would
- 6:06Speaker 2: have screwed the Lakers over also meaning that essentially Mark Walter,
- 6:11Speaker 2: to put it in Layman's terms, that he explored liquidity
- 6:15Speaker 2: from multiple assets that at the time he owned. Now
- 6:19Speaker 2: technically he still owns the Lakers. The sale is not official,
- 6:23Speaker 2: official official. He wasn't selling equity in the teams. He
- 6:27Speaker 2: was getting out of the TV deals, which doesn't seem
- 6:31Speaker 2: like a great idea if you know, if you had
- 6:32Speaker 2: television's not doing that great. I don't know if you
- 6:34Speaker 2: know about that, all right, So that is a good
- 6:36Speaker 2: jumping off point. Let us discuss the question for the
- 6:39Speaker 2: esteem panel, which you're part of. So the question is
- 6:44Speaker 2: Mark Walter attempting to end to hit the kill switch
- 6:48Speaker 2: on the Dodgers and the Lakers record cable TV deals,
- 6:54Speaker 2: get out of those deals early for a massive cartoon
- 6:59Speaker 2: check payment. How do you size this one up? So
- 7:03Speaker 2: let's check out the tail of the tape here. So
- 7:04Speaker 2: I've got plinkoh, surf and turf and seasonal allergies, and
- 7:12Speaker 2: we will combine all of these things together and we
- 7:16Speaker 2: are going to have a meat ball HOGI, a delicious
- 7:20Speaker 2: meatball HOGI with the cheese on top.
- 7:24Speaker 1: There. It's gonna be absolutely great.
- 7:25Speaker 2: So a oh, this is absolutely you talk about the
- 7:29Speaker 2: Dodgers trying to get out of a TV contract, which
- 7:32Speaker 2: is mana from heaven like this is completely perfectly normal
- 7:38Speaker 2: activity unless it's not.
- 7:42Speaker 1: Unless it's not here.
- 7:43Speaker 2: Nothing to see move along, nothing to see here, And
- 7:48Speaker 2: Mark Walter was ready to load up the pickup truck
- 7:53Speaker 2: to put the Dodgers cash cow the blue cow.
- 7:59Speaker 1: Move move to.
- 8:01Speaker 2: Put the blue cow in the back of the truck
- 8:04Speaker 2: and go directly to the slaughterhouse. To take that cow
- 8:08Speaker 2: to the slaughterhouse. Chop, chop, chop, cut up the cow.
- 8:13Speaker 2: Everyone eats meat, just like that trading Tomorrow's gold and
- 8:19Speaker 2: it's a ton of goal.
- 8:20Speaker 1: It's gold mine.
- 8:21Speaker 2: Really, what it is for an immediate payout from speedy cash.
- 8:25Speaker 2: He wanted the speedy cash option. I know the interest
- 8:28Speaker 2: rates aren't great, but he wanted the speedy cash thing.
- 8:30Speaker 2: So the cable company said, sure, why not, but we're
- 8:36Speaker 2: gonna give you a clearance type situation so we know
- 8:40Speaker 2: you need the money.
- 8:42Speaker 1: We're not dumb. We might not be that smart, but
- 8:44Speaker 1: we're not dumb.
- 8:46Speaker 2: And so pennies on the dollar and the math didn't
- 8:49Speaker 2: work out, and so or go, the deal obviously did
- 8:54Speaker 2: not happen. So they were like, well, why wouldn't he
- 8:57Speaker 2: pay retail when the billionaire needs the money like three
- 9:01Speaker 2: days ago, and so it's it's interesting now. Meanwhile, the
- 9:05Speaker 2: whole reason this is happening is because while the cow
- 9:09Speaker 2: was being driven to the slaughterhouse and they had to
- 9:12Speaker 2: turn around. At the slaughterhouse was Uncle Sam with a
- 9:15Speaker 2: butcher knife and a machete and a carving knife and
- 9:19Speaker 2: they were just gonna chop that bad cow that just
- 9:23Speaker 2: chop it up, getting get hold pieces. And so this
- 9:27Speaker 2: is like a it's say a special episode of The
- 9:29Speaker 2: Price Is Right and Mark Walter, come on down, Mark Walter. Yes,
- 9:35Speaker 2: play Plinko. Oh everyone loves Plinko. Play Planko. And you
- 9:42Speaker 2: can do this with your own sports empire.
- 9:46Speaker 1: Just like that. You spin the big wheel round and around,
- 9:49Speaker 1: big money, big money.
- 9:50Speaker 2: Stop and you pray that that wheel does not stop
- 9:55Speaker 2: on federal trouble, because right now you're in federal trouble
- 10:00Speaker 2: because the Showcase showdown.
- 10:03Speaker 1: If you do get there, that could mean you win.
- 10:05Speaker 2: An all expense paid trip, a tropical vacation, all bills paid,
- 10:12Speaker 2: room and board at the Palm Tree Penitentiary in Florida. Yeah,
- 10:18Speaker 2: sounds like fun, don't know. Okay, So when you're willing
- 10:22Speaker 2: to think about it, when you're willing to butcher the
- 10:25Speaker 2: Golden Blue heifer, a three hundred and thirty four million
- 10:29Speaker 2: dollars a year heifer, today you're negotiating the only asset
- 10:36Speaker 2: you have left. This is a I don't think people
- 10:37Speaker 2: realize how crazy this story is. Like there is a
- 10:41Speaker 2: scenario in the multiverse where the guy that owns the
- 10:43Speaker 2: Dodgers goes to jail like it's crazy.
- 10:46Speaker 1: It's if he can't.
- 10:47Speaker 2: Pay back the Feds, as I understand it from what
- 10:52Speaker 2: I've read, then there's a scenario where he does not
- 10:55Speaker 2: Granted it's rich people jail where they have delicious paninea
- 11:00Speaker 2: and things like that, but you're still going to jail.
- 11:02Speaker 1: You know.
- 11:02Speaker 2: Yeah, you can cut tomatoes up and do all that
- 11:07Speaker 2: in the kitchen and you know it's not like hard jail,
- 11:09Speaker 2: but you're still going to jail. It's crazy, crazy, crazy crazy.
- 11:13Speaker 2: So that's why. And you know that it's that desperate.
- 11:17Speaker 2: If you're willing to buy the Lakers and sell them
- 11:20Speaker 2: after less than a year, and even more than that,
- 11:25Speaker 2: the golden Cow, the goose, whatever you want to call it,
- 11:28Speaker 2: you're willing to get rid of, that's crazy crazy. Meanwhile,
- 11:32Speaker 2: to the Tucker Clucker, say that very.
- 11:36Speaker 1: Slowly for those of you that listen closely and are
- 11:39Speaker 1: very ligitious.
- 11:40Speaker 2: The Tucker Clucker, Well, he did have a double. That
- 11:45Speaker 2: would be Kyle Tucker.
- 11:47Speaker 1: Way, he had a double.
- 11:48Speaker 3: He's back, eh.
- 11:50Speaker 2: No, Kyle Tucker has been so bad this season? How
- 11:54Speaker 2: bad has he been? Thanks for yelling? He has been
- 11:57Speaker 2: so bad this season that he was recently seen wiping
- 12:01Speaker 2: a tear from his eye in the Dodger Doug It's
- 12:06Speaker 2: a SOB story. It's a SOB story. For Kyle Tucker.
- 12:12Speaker 2: The struggle has continued. He gave a quote this week.
- 12:15Speaker 2: He said, quote, I feel like I've tried just about everything,
- 12:20Speaker 2: and every time I feel like I'm turning a corner,
- 12:22Speaker 2: I get hit with a roadblock.
- 12:25Speaker 1: Close quote.
- 12:27Speaker 2: Now, of course there's always the jocksniffers, the fanboys. I
- 12:31Speaker 2: love when they entered the chat. So the fanboys have
- 12:34Speaker 2: entered the chat and they got their nose out. They're
- 12:37Speaker 2: sniffing that nice dirty jockstrap, and they're like, it's not fair,
- 12:42Speaker 2: you know. The the amateur psychologist crowd are like, well,
- 12:46Speaker 2: it's unfortunate.
- 12:48Speaker 1: Tucker shouldn't be criticized. He should be supportian. He should
- 12:52Speaker 1: be supportian because he cares. He cares.
- 12:55Speaker 2: He was crying always under a massive amount of pressure.
- 13:00Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, the usual nonsense. So the question do
- 13:04Speaker 1: you feel bad for the in.
- 13:07Speaker 2: Battled Dodgers outfielder Kyle Tucker that he's being trolled and
- 13:12Speaker 2: roasted over an open social media platform of your choice?
- 13:17Speaker 2: Do you feel bad? And I have three words boo
- 13:21Speaker 2: freaking who. That's what I have. I wrote that on
- 13:24Speaker 2: my scorecard. Boo freaking who for Kyle Tucker. Oh man,
- 13:28Speaker 2: you're so mean mailer, You're so mean. Come on, So
- 13:32Speaker 2: this just in millionaire athletes criticized the nation mourns well,
- 13:39Speaker 2: some people in the nation. I was taught by my professor,
- 13:43Speaker 2: Professor Tom Hanks, that he taught me there's no crying
- 13:47Speaker 2: in baseball. He taught me that years ago. Yet the
- 13:51Speaker 2: social media pity party wants us to treat Kyle Tucker
- 13:57Speaker 2: like he's spent months working at the coal man and
- 14:01Speaker 2: because all because some strangers criticized his performance and his
- 14:07Speaker 2: statistics on his baseball reference page.
- 14:09Speaker 1: And it's not right.
- 14:11Speaker 2: So spare me the massive pressure nonsense which some of
- 14:16Speaker 2: you are trying to to sell.
- 14:19Speaker 1: I'm not buying it.
- 14:20Speaker 2: Like we know that in life, real pressure is when
- 14:24Speaker 2: you have two dead end jobs that you don't have
- 14:28Speaker 2: enough money, the rent's coming due on Friday, you have
- 14:32Speaker 2: a family minivan that sounds like it's a dishwasher filled
- 14:37Speaker 2: with silverware that's not good, and you don't know what
- 14:42Speaker 2: you're gonna do. Like Tucker makes sixty million dollars a year, garanteed.
- 14:50Speaker 2: Now he's plausibly played to be good. He's paid to
- 14:52Speaker 2: be good, to hit the ball and all that stuff.
- 14:55Speaker 2: Generational wealth, which, mind you, is guaranteed. It's not hey,
- 15:01Speaker 2: earn the money, go out there and get some hiss. No,
- 15:03Speaker 2: he's already got done. He can have zero hits the
- 15:05Speaker 2: rest of his time with the Dodgers, and he's getting
- 15:08Speaker 2: paid zero, and I can go at three thousand hits.
- 15:11Speaker 2: He's gonna get the same amount of money. He's also
- 15:14Speaker 2: got this opt out where if he was good, he
- 15:16Speaker 2: would opt out tucker of the contract and get more money.
- 15:20Speaker 2: He's not gonna do that because why would you have
- 15:23Speaker 2: you seen him play terrible, and so generational wealth is
- 15:28Speaker 2: absolutely gironteed. Again, whatever happens on the field, it doesn't matter.
- 15:34Speaker 2: The rest of us are playing financial whack a mole,
- 15:37Speaker 2: not him. So you take the king's ransom. Good for him,
- 15:42Speaker 2: it's a great mitzvah, And you get king sized expectations.
- 15:45Speaker 2: And you when you failed to meet those expectations, when
- 15:49Speaker 2: you were unable to meet those expectations, well guess what happens. Yeah, exactly,
- 15:55Speaker 2: exactly right. So I'm not lighting a candle for the
- 16:01Speaker 2: Dodgers stiff Kyle Tucker, I'm not all right, you can
- 16:06Speaker 2: and you know, finally people noticing it's been the last
- 16:09Speaker 2: like few weeks. People have noticed, wait a minute, this
- 16:12Speaker 2: guy's underperforming. And it goes with the territory here. And
- 16:17Speaker 2: the Dodgers thought they were getting the surf and turf.
- 16:20Speaker 2: They ordered the surf and turf, they paid for the
- 16:23Speaker 2: surf and turf, and instead they've got some fish sticks
- 16:27Speaker 2: and some slim gyms. That's what they ended up with. Well,
- 16:32Speaker 2: that's not exactly the surf and turf. It's a poor
- 16:35Speaker 2: man's version of the surf and turf. And it's not
- 16:38Speaker 2: even really trolling when it comes to Kyle Tucker. It's
- 16:42Speaker 2: not really trolling. You know what it is the Internet
- 16:44Speaker 2: doing its job.
- 16:46Speaker 1: That's I guess.
- 16:48Speaker 2: I'm from the old country. You play well, you get cheers.
- 16:50Speaker 2: You don't play well, you get booze. It's really not
- 16:53Speaker 2: that difficult, all right. Meanwhile, the last word, we go
- 16:56Speaker 2: to Milwaukee. I had to mention this game. I was
- 16:58Speaker 2: flipping around the games watching various baseball games and did
- 17:03Speaker 2: flip over this because I thought the score was I
- 17:05Speaker 2: thought my phone was broken. I thought, well that can't
- 17:07Speaker 2: be right. There's no way, you know, there's no way
- 17:09Speaker 2: that the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Seattle Mariners twenty two
- 17:12Speaker 2: to nothing. That's impossible. It must have been a glitch
- 17:15Speaker 2: on my phone, so I flipped over the game. Yes,
- 17:18Speaker 2: the Mariners, the Seattle baseball team, suffered the worst loss
- 17:22Speaker 2: in their mediocre franchise history. There absolutely what's the proper demolished?
- 17:32Speaker 2: They were vaporized twenty two to nothing by the Milwaukee
- 17:36Speaker 2: baseball team that surpassed their worst previous loss against the
- 17:40Speaker 2: cheating Ashss one thousand two, one thousand holes in Houston
- 17:45Speaker 2: back in twenty nineteen. Now, the defining moment slash blooper
- 17:52Speaker 2: in this game came in the eighth inning when centerfielder
- 17:55Speaker 2: Julio Rodriguez, who Robbie the Mariner fan has a fat
- 17:59Speaker 2: head of on his wall in his bedroom and has
- 18:02Speaker 2: a Julio Rodriguez onesie, it's more like a MUMO. But
- 18:05Speaker 2: he still got it all right, and Rodriguez caught Christian
- 18:09Speaker 2: Yelicks Yelick's fly ball. There it was the second out,
- 18:13Speaker 2: so second out of the eighth inning, bottom of the
- 18:15Speaker 2: eighth inning. Okay, so two outs, one more out, to get.
- 18:20Speaker 2: He then catches the ball and chucks it into the crowd. Suvini,
- 18:26Speaker 2: get you souvenir baseball right here, thinking the inning was
- 18:30Speaker 2: over and another runner scored there that made it twenty
- 18:34Speaker 2: one to nothing. That would be twenty two to nothing
- 18:36Speaker 2: would be the final. So very impressive here Seattle. By
- 18:40Speaker 2: the way, that twenty two to nothing loss, and just
- 18:45Speaker 2: that margin, that is the margin defeat tied for the
- 18:48Speaker 2: largest shutout loss in modern baseball history.
- 18:52Speaker 1: You gotta go back all the.
- 18:54Speaker 2: Way to nineteen seventy five, Pittsburg over the Cubs in
- 18:59Speaker 2: nineteen seventy five, and you also had Cleveland over the
- 19:03Speaker 2: Yankees way back in four Bailly.
- 19:05Speaker 1: You know that was before my time, of course.
- 19:08Speaker 2: So that the chatter, though, was all about Rodriguez in
- 19:12Speaker 2: the outfield. So the question on this one, what was
- 19:17Speaker 2: Mariner star center fielder Julio Rodriguez thinking when he tossed
- 19:22Speaker 2: the second out into the bleachers in Milwaukee. So Jay Rod,
- 19:29Speaker 2: he's got the nickname, not the game, but he's got
- 19:31Speaker 2: the nickname. So Jay Rod obviously was daydreaming, we think,
- 19:34Speaker 2: and we're never wrong about these things.
- 19:36Speaker 1: We believe he was daydreaming.
- 19:38Speaker 2: About delicious, authentic Wisconsin cheese curds. And he was thinking
- 19:42Speaker 2: about sneaking out to Kenosher, to the cheese castle, and
- 19:46Speaker 2: he was distracted because he looked at the baseball and
- 19:49Speaker 2: he said, this looks like a really fat cheese curd.
- 19:52Speaker 2: Let me throw that bad boy in the crowd. Maybe
- 19:54Speaker 2: a fan wants to have a delicious cheese curd. And
- 19:56Speaker 2: that was it. It's pretty wild because you sure as ill,
- 20:02Speaker 2: wasn't you know, keeping track of the game. No, granted
- 20:04Speaker 2: it was at the time twenty to nothing at the
- 20:07Speaker 2: time of the game. Still I have noticed I don't
- 20:10Speaker 2: know if you've noticed this. I watched way too much baseball,
- 20:12Speaker 2: I admit it. I always have it on.
- 20:13Speaker 1: The background when I'm preparing for work.
- 20:15Speaker 2: And so forgetting how many outs there were in a
- 20:20Speaker 2: major league game, now it is. It is baseball's current
- 20:23Speaker 2: version of seasonal allergies. And it's the dog days of August.
- 20:29Speaker 2: The Red Sox forget how many outs they dependent on
- 20:31Speaker 2: the scoreboard. That happened last week. Now we've got the
- 20:34Speaker 2: Mariners here, and this, though, is bigger than just.
- 20:38Speaker 1: The twenty two to nothing final score and all that.
- 20:40Speaker 2: It's a little postcard, a perfect little postcard from the
- 20:45Speaker 2: Julio Rodriguez experience, and Seattle bet a lot of money
- 20:50Speaker 2: that they were getting Secretariat. They were convinced. In fact,
- 20:54Speaker 2: how much money did they bet, Well, they bet two
- 20:58Speaker 2: hundred and nine million dollars in a mega deal that
- 21:00Speaker 2: they were gonna get Secretariat, and that could also balloon
- 21:04Speaker 2: up to four hundred and seventy million dollars or more.
- 21:09Speaker 2: But they have not gotten secretary. Far too often. They've
- 21:13Speaker 2: gotten a draft horse, is what they've gotten. Impressive at times, powerful, however,
- 21:20Speaker 2: not sniffing MVP and all time great status. That stuff's
- 21:24Speaker 2: not happening there. The Triple Crown doesn't have to worry
- 21:28Speaker 2: about him, He doesn't have to worry about Jay Rod
- 21:31Speaker 2: at all. And the Superstar label doing some heavy lifting here,
- 21:36Speaker 2: some heavy lifting here. One week, the guy looks like
- 21:40Speaker 2: a video game cheat code Julio Rodriguez. The next, and
- 21:44Speaker 2: possibly even like the next couple of games. He looks
- 21:47Speaker 2: like somebody unplugged the controller, turned off the Wi Fi,
- 21:51Speaker 2: and that's that. There's no sustained dominance. Well, he's young, okay,
- 21:57Speaker 2: good for him. That doesn't mean he's gonna get any better.
- 22:00Speaker 2: Some people plateau at a young age. Not everyone continues
- 22:03Speaker 2: to get.
- 22:03Speaker 1: Better and better.
- 22:04Speaker 2: You assume he's going to get better. That's what the
- 22:06Speaker 2: Mariner's bet on, that this guy's going to get better.
- 22:09Speaker 2: I haven't seen it. I think he's like twenty five
- 22:11Speaker 2: and he just kind of settle in. And there is
- 22:14Speaker 2: a belief that many have had over the years. And
- 22:16Speaker 2: I tend to lean this way that when you get
- 22:18Speaker 2: the forever contract. He's got a twelve year contract, it's
- 22:23Speaker 2: great to have that your motivation. Though he got the money.
- 22:30Speaker 2: You know he's not gonna get any real more money
- 22:32Speaker 2: is what The contract is the contract, and that's it,
- 22:35Speaker 2: and that's going to be the bulk of his career
- 22:37Speaker 2: with the Mariners. And so yeah, he doesn't want to suck.
- 22:41Speaker 2: Definitely even want to suck, however, and that extra motivation
- 22:45Speaker 2: like if I go out have a big year, I
- 22:46Speaker 2: can get more money. Well he's already got the money. Yeah,
- 22:48Speaker 2: he can get it more in the contract. He already
- 22:50Speaker 2: signed it. Man, it is it is wild. So again,
- 22:54Speaker 2: no consistent domination, and it's like he's running the T
- 22:59Speaker 2: shirt canon mid inning. He's been good, absolutely has been good.
- 23:04Speaker 2: That'd been been terrible.
- 23:06Speaker 1: He's been good. Generational.
- 23:11Speaker 2: You know, the Mariners bought the deluxe package and we
- 23:15Speaker 2: told them I don't know if you should buy that.
- 23:17Speaker 2: They did, and some nights Julio shows up and the
- 23:23Speaker 2: parts are missing. The way, we didn't get all the parts.
- 23:26Speaker 2: We ordered the deluxe package, we did not get all
- 23:28Speaker 2: the parts. It is the Ben Mahlor Show. If you
- 23:31Speaker 2: would like to be part, you can join us right now.

- 26:36Speaker 2: was great. I was like, man, I'm a big talk
- 26:38Speaker 2: showst Lorraine gets all the mail, I get nothing, and

- 26:47Speaker 2: overnight talk show such.
- 26:48Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 26:49Speaker 2: It's very odd, but Lorrang gets all the mail FSR
- 26:52Speaker 2: Tech queen. I get messages during the day. She got
- 26:55Speaker 2: another package. What's in the bud I don't know that's

- 27:21Speaker 6: Do you want to squishmellow? I think you do.
- 27:26Speaker 1: That was a very large box the rain. I'm sure
- 27:28Speaker 1: you have like no, no, no.
- 27:29Speaker 7: The smaller box on top was mine. The bigger box
- 27:31Speaker 7: on the bottom. I don't know who that belongs to.
- 27:33Speaker 1: But there were two boxes like stacked on top of Yeah.
- 27:36Speaker 6: The bottom one was not mine just the time.
- 27:38Speaker 1: Okay, don't I don't. I didn't look at the mail.
- 27:40Speaker 1: I just walked past it.
- 27:41Speaker 2: And that's all I saw late night drug Tester right
- 27:44Speaker 2: since says if Dodgers ownership wants to make some real money,
- 27:47Speaker 2: they need to invest in the hottest property in all
- 27:50Speaker 2: of TV, Benny versus the Penny. Yeah, if you want
- 27:53Speaker 2: to invest in Bennie versus the penny, let us know.
- 27:56Speaker 2: Ferg Dog writes in and says, the Mariners are a mess,
- 27:59Speaker 2: just like Robbie the Mariner fan. You know, I hear
- 28:03Speaker 2: he cries himself to sleep every night. How sad?
- 28:06Speaker 1: Is that? Get a grip Robbie? Wow?
- 28:08Speaker 2: The Baltimore Freeloaders account writes in and says, I thought
- 28:11Speaker 2: I had a bad day. I had to actually pay
- 28:14Speaker 2: for a meal that wasn't good. It's a terrible feeling.
- 28:17Speaker 6: Oh, I hate when that happens.
- 28:19Speaker 1: That sucks.
- 28:19Speaker 2: But the Baltimore Media Freeloader account says that does not
- 28:24Speaker 2: compare to the day Mark Walter or the Mariners had.
- 28:29Speaker 2: Regarding the paid meal, it was an overcooked steak and
- 28:33Speaker 2: a bowl of watery soup.
- 28:35Speaker 1: Just awful.
- 28:37Speaker 7: My father will never accept an overcooked steak. If that
- 28:41Speaker 7: is overcooked, he sends it back. You don't spend money
- 28:43Speaker 7: on food you can't consume, you know, what I'm saying.
- 28:46Speaker 1: Well, I would push back on that.
- 28:47Speaker 2: I would argue that if I get a steak that
- 28:49Speaker 2: is the blood is still dripping off it and the
- 28:52Speaker 2: but they.
- 28:53Speaker 7: Can put that on the grill longer and make your
- 28:55Speaker 7: meat good. If you have an overcooked steak, they have
- 28:58Speaker 7: to start from scratch.
- 28:59Speaker 6: They're losing all.
- 29:00Speaker 1: Just give it to me.
- 29:01Speaker 2: Craig. Crying Craig in Seattle, always smoked out. Crying Craig.
- 29:05Speaker 2: Where have you been, crying Craig? He says, do I
- 29:07Speaker 2: have the green light to cry tonight?
- 29:10Speaker 3: Yah?
- 29:11Speaker 1: Sure? Why not? Are you crying?
- 29:14Speaker 2: Crying Craig? Now, the original crying Craig was this kid
- 29:17Speaker 2: from Boston who famously cried. Very few people remember that,
- 29:21Speaker 2: but he was a legend in the mall of Militia.
- 29:23Speaker 2: This crying Craig's lasted longer than the previous crying Craig
- 29:26Speaker 2: who got a job and forgot that we existed. So
- 29:29Speaker 2: every once in a while he'll call in say I
- 29:31Speaker 2: remember me, and I don't know kind of nature boy.
- 29:34Speaker 2: Answering the call for a while, that says, did you
- 29:37Speaker 2: say Julio was distracted?
- 29:40Speaker 1: Okay?
- 29:41Speaker 2: Yeah, overnight Joe from the TV station in New York, right,
- 29:47Speaker 2: say he's keeping the station on the area, says pen
- 29:49Speaker 2: You said in your monologue that TV is not doing well.
- 29:52Speaker 2: I can't believe management is lying to me. Yeah, why
- 29:56Speaker 2: would management ever lie to an employee. That never happens. Also,
- 29:59Speaker 2: love your plinko reference. Remember those days when Craig Kilbourne
- 30:04Speaker 2: used to sneak over to the Prices right and steal it,
- 30:07Speaker 2: the good old days of late night television.
- 30:11Speaker 6: I like the plinko sound.
- 30:15Speaker 1: Yeah, it's pretty cool. Have you ever been to the
- 30:17Speaker 1: taping of the Prices Right?
- 30:19Speaker 6: No, but my brother was on it. He was one
- 30:22Speaker 6: of the people in the thing. He won the showcase
- 30:23Speaker 6: at the end, so he did.
- 30:24Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 30:24Speaker 2: Did he take the cash or did he actually have
- 30:27Speaker 2: to like take the trip in the car or whatever.
- 30:30Speaker 7: He took the big package. But you can trade out
- 30:32Speaker 7: at the end for money.
- 30:33Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, and you're often I've heard better off doing
- 30:36Speaker 2: that because they make you pay the taxes up front.
- 30:39Speaker 6: Yeah, he did keep the golf cart.
- 30:41Speaker 7: He kept the golf car. He kept the golf cart.
- 30:43Speaker 7: He kept the full bedroom set. It was like a
- 30:47Speaker 7: full like wood bedroom set. It was real nice.
- 30:50Speaker 1: Oh that's cool.
- 30:50Speaker 6: Yeah, but I think he ended up selling the golf
- 30:52Speaker 6: cart in the end.
- 30:53Speaker 2: Well, I used to live over there and near where
- 30:55Speaker 2: the CBS television City, which I think they.
- 30:57Speaker 6: Used to line up overnight, right, well, some.
- 31:00Speaker 2: People did, but I'd always see people online for the prices. Right,
- 31:02Speaker 2: they always be lined up over there. I don't know
- 31:04Speaker 2: if they still tape it there or not. They did
- 31:06Speaker 2: back in the nineties when I lived.
- 31:07Speaker 6: That would be fun. I would love to go do that.
- 31:09Speaker 1: You should. You should going all the game shows.
- 31:11Speaker 6: We should do it together as the Ben Mallor show.
- 31:13Speaker 1: I would like to go on the Family Feud. That
- 31:15Speaker 1: would be fun.
- 31:16Speaker 2: You know, me and Steve Harvey are tye he you
- 31:18Speaker 2: know he worked out of the studio and he liked, you.
- 31:20Speaker 6: Should see if we can hook that up.
- 31:21Speaker 2: Then my mom was on Wheel of Fortune, Pat say,
- 31:26Speaker 2: Jack the King, Pat, that's so cool?
- 31:29Speaker 1: Who's hosting? He doesn't do it anymore? Does he? Somebody
- 31:32Speaker 1: else is on. I haven't watched the I think it's
- 31:33Speaker 1: Ryan Seacrest exactly. Yeah, well he needed.
- 31:36Speaker 6: Another jump, no, yeah, because he doesn't have enough.
- 31:38Speaker 1: Yeah, he struggles to struggles to find work anyway.
- 31:45Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I'm told you're better off taking the cash
- 31:48Speaker 2: Bay out because of the taxes. You know, it's just
- 31:51Speaker 2: I don't have that decision to make, mister irrigation rights
- 31:53Speaker 2: and says maybe the Dodgers should throw another fifty million
- 31:56Speaker 2: at Tucker.
- 31:58Speaker 1: I think they will.
- 31:59Speaker 2: What else do we Let's see Ivan the Terrible from Houston,
- 32:03Speaker 2: who hates our show so much he listens every night
- 32:05Speaker 2: and then listens to the podcast to be offended again.
- 32:09Speaker 2: He says that Tucker straight undercover astro in a Dodger jersey.
- 32:16Speaker 2: He says he's an a hole forever. And I agree, Ivan,
- 32:19Speaker 2: that Tucker is an a hole. I completely agree. We
- 32:22Speaker 2: have a new follower. Meet Ball Marianera Man, Meet Ball
- 32:26Speaker 2: Maranera Man.
- 32:28Speaker 1: Yeah, that sounds like a good account.
- 32:30Speaker 2: I'm sure that's not Alf the Alien Opiner or one
- 32:34Speaker 2: of the other guys with another burner account. I'm sure
- 32:36Speaker 2: that's a legitimate account that just happened to be listening.
- 32:38Speaker 2: And that's it. Uh, let's see what else do we have?
- 32:42Speaker 2: Can't read that? All right, Let's go to the phones
- 32:45Speaker 2: and let's start out, and let's say.
- 32:47Speaker 1: Hello to Eenie Meenie Mini Mode.
- 32:51Speaker 2: Let's go to whoopee Pie Blair in the Great State
- 32:54Speaker 2: of Maine. Hello, whoopee pie Blair. Did you see whoopee
- 32:57Speaker 2: pie Blair? We had a player ride the vomit a
- 33:00Speaker 2: comment a vomit comic.
- 33:02Speaker 1: Did you see this?
- 33:04Speaker 3: No, I haven't been paying attention to the radio station.
- 33:07Speaker 3: I've been on my electric bike. I ate crap one night.
- 33:11Speaker 3: The same night I ate crap. It was the same
- 33:13Speaker 3: day I ran into a lady into her car. Who's
- 33:16Speaker 3: straight into her car? Oh, I've remembered a straight boom.
- 33:21Speaker 3: And the next thing you know, later at night, one
- 33:25Speaker 3: thirty in the morning, I ate crap again. I wasn't
- 33:28Speaker 3: all right. I was in the ambulance going to get
- 33:30Speaker 3: checked up in the er, and two cops come and
- 33:34Speaker 3: help out.
- 33:34Speaker 1: One was a hey it, Blair, Blair, I have a question.
- 33:40Speaker 1: I have a question, Blair. Who thought it was a
- 33:42Speaker 1: good idea for you to get an electric bike?
- 33:46Speaker 3: Vo Green the voguer had helped me out with the
- 33:49Speaker 3: have it for a job, And I haven't got a
- 33:51Speaker 3: job yet, so I don't know. We should have not
- 33:53Speaker 3: done it.
- 33:56Speaker 2: No, you should get a bike, not an electric bike.
- 33:59Speaker 2: You just get a regular bike.
- 34:02Speaker 3: Let's have a regular bike. And this electric bike is
- 34:06Speaker 3: now flat. So I got to fix the tire because
- 34:08Speaker 3: I rode it all the way to skellveget Man, which
- 34:11Speaker 3: was about three hour bike ride to the fair today,
- 34:14Speaker 3: and got a flat on the way.
- 34:17Speaker 4: Boy, it was a.
- 34:18Speaker 3: Fun ride until I got a flat and we went
- 34:21Speaker 3: to the fair and Baird spend a dollar at the fair.
- 34:23Speaker 3: That was it to get in and it was fun.
- 34:26Speaker 6: Have you ever rid an electric bike before, Ben, I
- 34:29Speaker 6: have not.
- 34:29Speaker 2: I have some friends that were trying to get me
- 34:31Speaker 2: to get an electric bike. I like the idea of
- 34:33Speaker 2: an electric bike right now. When I was growing up, though,
- 34:37Speaker 2: we call them mopets. When I was we called the mopeds.
- 34:40Speaker 7: That's the same, but different mopads are different. Mopads are
- 34:43Speaker 7: more you know European. Where I tried to do an
- 34:46Speaker 7: electric bike, it was way too big for me and
- 34:48Speaker 7: I was like, there's no way I'm going to die
- 34:50Speaker 7: on that.
- 34:50Speaker 2: Well, I think it's a great idea to give because
- 34:52Speaker 2: where I live there's mostly like high school kids and
- 34:54Speaker 2: electric bikes. I think it's a great idea to give
- 34:55Speaker 2: high school kids that make poor decisions a vehicle that
- 34:58Speaker 2: can go forty five miles an hour. I think that
- 35:00Speaker 2: is a really good choice that people's improving it.
- 35:04Speaker 1: Yes, I think there's nothing wrong with that.
- 35:06Speaker 2: I think we should give them motorcycles, let them unlicensed motorcycles.
- 35:10Speaker 1: And let them go like Blair, let him go like
- 35:13Speaker 1: one hundred miles an hour. Let's see what happens.
- 35:15Speaker 3: What do you ben It only goes twenty to thirty,
- 35:17Speaker 3: so only thirty.
- 35:19Speaker 1: What could happen going thirty miles an hour? You could?
- 35:22Speaker 7: You know you wouldn't hurt your Laguna beach is full
- 35:24Speaker 7: of kids on electric bikes.
- 35:26Speaker 1: Laguna, it's all it's all over the fast.
- 35:29Speaker 3: Yeah, twenty three down a hills, not fast.
- 35:32Speaker 1: That's not going much. Yeah.
- 35:34Speaker 2: Hey, hey Blair, try try running into the back of
- 35:37Speaker 2: a truck and see if it's just fact going fast
- 35:39Speaker 2: at twenty three miles an hour.
- 35:43Speaker 1: Yeah that listen, ye listen to me.
- 35:45Speaker 2: Be careful, you you bet you better wear a helmet.
- 35:48Speaker 1: I do wear helmet.
- 35:49Speaker 3: I do all the time on his way for big rigs.
- 35:52Speaker 3: But knock the crowd. I'll be dead by the time
- 35:54Speaker 3: the big rigs hits to me. But we don't want that.
- 35:56Speaker 1: We don't want to. We don't want that.
- 35:59Speaker 3: We don't want run on the over all.
- 36:01Speaker 2: Right, So this guy hunter Fiducia, he vomited during the
- 36:05Speaker 2: Dodger game. Blair last night against the Rockies, he puked.
