0:01
Speaker 1: We go Welcome it's our dumb ber to our number
0:06
Speaker 1: two and a happy happy Friday to you. It's the
0:09
Speaker 1: twenty third day of May and the rare and appropriate
0:12
Speaker 1: baseball monologue talking Bay's ball in the month of May,
0:17
Speaker 1: we go to Pittsburgh. A lot of stories popping up
0:20
Speaker 1: recently about the Pirates trading away their franchise Pitcher. Could
0:25
Speaker 1: the Pirates deal Paul Skins right? Is Pirates DM ben
0:29
Speaker 1: Cherrington lying about not considering a trade to protect leverage?
0:34
Speaker 1: Or is Paul Skins really untouchable? And should Pittsburgh fans
0:39
Speaker 1: even believe anything their front office says at this particular point.
0:43
Speaker 1: We'll discuss that was One Soto's departure from the Yankees
0:49
Speaker 1: really part of some master plan. There's a quote out
0:52
Speaker 1: from an anonymous Yankee staffer who says basically that the
0:57
Speaker 1: Yankees are better off without Sodo. So if the Yankees
1:02
Speaker 1: are better off, why did they pursue One Soto so
1:05
Speaker 1: aggressively in the first place. We'll tackle all that. Don't
1:08
Speaker 1: forget fifth Hour podcast today, new episode, never before told stories.
1:13
Speaker 1: We'll also address the Komodo Dragon of the room, the
1:17
Speaker 1: US government getting rid of the penny, how does that
1:19
Speaker 1: affect Benny versus the penny. We'll talk about all that
1:21
Speaker 1: and more right now here. It is our number two.
1:27
Speaker 1: It's a pirate's life for me, but maybe not that long.
1:31
Speaker 1: Wel gone. In the beginning of another hour of the
1:36
Speaker 1: Ben Malor Show, we are in the air aywhere jointly
1:45
Speaker 1: as we put some mustard on it, coast, the coast, border,
1:49
Speaker 1: the border, and beyond on the mast and sizeably powerful
1:54
Speaker 1: microphones of FSR amminating live from the popper, the Hot
2:00
Speaker 1: Take popper, deep in the bowels of the Fox Sports
2:04
Speaker 1: Radio studios, as we are together yet again, it's made
2:08
Speaker 1: possible in part by ti Iraq. That's approved by Old
2:12
Speaker 1: Man River in Florida, not in Texas. Old Man River
2:15
Speaker 1: got very upset. He's my penpal, he said, Ben. I'm
2:19
Speaker 1: not in I used to live in Texas. I'm in Florida. Now,
2:22
Speaker 1: bad job by you, anyway, he loves ti Iraq. For
2:24
Speaker 1: over forty years, ty Iraq has been helping customers fund
2:28
Speaker 1: the right tires for how, what and where they drive
2:31
Speaker 1: fasten freeback by free road hazard protection with convenient installation
2:35
Speaker 1: options like mobile tire installation, which I'm told ferg Dog
2:41
Speaker 1: likes not alf alf doesn't like that for some reason,
2:43
Speaker 1: but Fergdog likes that tire iraq dot com the way
2:46
Speaker 1: that tire buying show be. So our lead this hour
2:51
Speaker 1: is the rare and appropriate, rare and appropriate Mala monologue
2:57
Speaker 1: related to baseball. We'll get back to the basketball later.
3:00
Speaker 1: Not much of a talker as Minnesota played gutlass basketball
3:03
Speaker 1: lose and they got run off the court in the
3:06
Speaker 1: second half. So go to the burd A pirate's life
3:10
Speaker 1: for me. A pirate's life for me, that'd be Pittsburgh.
3:13
Speaker 1: And this is not about the Steelers. We actually have
3:16
Speaker 1: some Steeler content later, but instead we will head to
3:20
Speaker 1: the Iron City, where Paul Skeene's name has come up prominently.
3:25
Speaker 1: The last couple of days on the trading block his
3:29
Speaker 1: name has been mentioned shiver me Timbers. So you haven't
3:33
Speaker 1: been following it, perhaps not the Pirates general manager Ben Charrington,
3:38
Speaker 1: who briefly was in Boston and got run out of there.
3:41
Speaker 1: So Ben Charrington was asked about the chatter that the
3:47
Speaker 1: Vultures are out they would like to poach Paul Skeins.
3:52
Speaker 1: Paul Skeenes is the only player on the Pirates worth watching.
3:55
Speaker 1: Everyone else is a minor league player. So the rumor
3:59
Speaker 1: has been bouncing. It's like, well, the Pirates blow and
4:01
Speaker 1: they've got one guy that's halfway decent, and so that's
4:04
Speaker 1: trade the guy, right, they have nobody else. You spend
4:07
Speaker 1: any money to watch one guy? So is that under consideration?
4:11
Speaker 1: So Ben Charrington said, quote no, it's not part of
4:15
Speaker 1: the conversation at all. Close quote Okay, then, so let's
4:22
Speaker 1: drill down on this one. The question for the esteem panel,
4:27
Speaker 1: which you, by the way, are part of. So congratulations,
4:31
Speaker 1: is Pirates GM Ben Charrington lying to protect leverage? Or
4:39
Speaker 1: is Paul Skin's truly untouchable? Is you really untouchable? So
4:42
Speaker 1: my observations here, I've got corporate jargon, devil c and
4:48
Speaker 1: Dradel and we'll combine all of these things together and
4:52
Speaker 1: try to avoid a tongue twister and have the Great
4:56
Speaker 1: Perogi Race. I like that. Many teams have copied the
5:00
Speaker 1: Milwaukee Brewers, who for years and years have had that
5:03
Speaker 1: sausage race, and then over the years the Diamondbacks have
5:07
Speaker 1: a race with former player costumes. The Nationals and the
5:11
Speaker 1: Pirates have the Great Parrogia Race, and the Mets have
5:13
Speaker 1: that like the sub the Borough race. The Mets have that,
5:16
Speaker 1: all right, So Number I said number not get off
5:25
Speaker 1: all right? So my first thought here Ben Cherrington saying
5:29
Speaker 1: it's not part of the conversation all what else was
5:32
Speaker 1: he supposed to say? Serious question like could you imagine
5:36
Speaker 1: the world where Charrington came out and said, yeah, we
5:38
Speaker 1: would love to trade Paul Skins. We realize he's a
5:41
Speaker 1: major league player. We're a minor league team. You shouldn't
5:44
Speaker 1: have one major league player when you're a minor league team.
5:47
Speaker 1: We're not trying to win. We're a joke of an organization.
5:50
Speaker 1: Our ushers will attack fans who are drunk. We'll have
5:55
Speaker 1: fans get drunk, under age, fall out of the crowd.
5:58
Speaker 1: We'll take down tributes dead baseball players that are historic
6:02
Speaker 1: in our town to put up an alcohol add that's
6:04
Speaker 1: the pirates, right. So imagine if he had said, Ben Charrington,
6:08
Speaker 1: we're gonna have a silent auction and the bidding ends
6:12
Speaker 1: right of the trade deadline. Holy canoly. That would have
6:14
Speaker 1: been created a tinderbox. It would have been baseball malpractice.
6:17
Speaker 1: So instead he's using corporate jargon. Corporate jargon. Now you
6:23
Speaker 1: have to listen between the words. You have to listen
6:26
Speaker 1: between the words. So Charington said no. Regarding the possibility
6:31
Speaker 1: of Paul Schimes the Phenom picture being traded, he said, no,
6:34
Speaker 1: it's not part of the conversation at all. Well quote, so, conversation,
6:41
Speaker 1: as you know, because you've paid attention, conversation means oral communication.
6:46
Speaker 1: How about digital communication? How about a text chain? How
6:48
Speaker 1: about an internal email chain? Bandied about on trading the picture?
6:53
Speaker 1: How about that it's not really conversation. Technically, You're not wrong.
6:57
Speaker 1: You have plausible deniability, you have plausible belity because you said, oh,
7:01
Speaker 1: I didn't. It wasn't a conversation. Was It was a
7:03
Speaker 1: text and that's not a conversation. It's a digital thing,
7:05
Speaker 1: but it's not a conversation. So yeah, if you rummaged
7:08
Speaker 1: through my text messages, okay, but I didn't say it.
7:12
Speaker 1: All right now, Page two? Should the seven Pirate fans left?
7:17
Speaker 1: Should these seven seven Pirate fans remaining believe anything their
7:23
Speaker 1: front office says at this particular point, And again, we're
7:27
Speaker 1: outsiders on this. We don't have any skin in the game.
7:29
Speaker 1: I've been to the Pirates ballpark years ago. It was beautiful,
7:33
Speaker 1: much better than any of the players they've had in
7:35
Speaker 1: that town since they opened that new ballpark, which is
7:38
Speaker 1: not even new anymore. It's really old to answer the question,
7:41
Speaker 1: should the pirate fans even believe anything anything that their
7:46
Speaker 1: front office says at this point only if you live
7:49
Speaker 1: in the township called Suckersville. If you live in Suckersville, okay.
7:53
Speaker 1: But Pittsburgh Baseball is literally and figuratively lost a drift
8:00
Speaker 1: on the Devil's see. It's a pirate ghost ship, devoid
8:04
Speaker 1: of life at this particular point, floating into the abyss,
8:08
Speaker 1: untouched by time or tide. And they have drifted unmanned
8:13
Speaker 1: for decades, that pirate ghost ship for decades. So there's
8:17
Speaker 1: zero confidence that they know what they're doing, which is
8:21
Speaker 1: why you can't believe them. It's also why you should
8:24
Speaker 1: hope they don't trade Paul Skins because they don't know
8:27
Speaker 1: how to pick good players. So why would you trade
8:30
Speaker 1: him to get a package of players when you're you
8:33
Speaker 1: don't know who's good and who's bad.
8:36
Speaker 2: Uh.
8:36
Speaker 1: And you know, there's a lot of talking about trying
8:38
Speaker 1: to build something sustainable, but it's just words. It's all
8:42
Speaker 1: it is is words. And my evidence is the track wreck.
8:46
Speaker 1: Now that tells you what has happened, not what's going
8:49
Speaker 1: to happen in the future. And all these glowing reports
8:51
Speaker 1: of oh, you get a bounty of prizes for Paul
8:55
Speaker 1: Skins and all the riches of Solomon, do you realize
8:59
Speaker 1: every every halfway decent player, every halfway decent player that
9:05
Speaker 1: has passed through Pittsburgh every once in a while, yea,
9:09
Speaker 1: the blind nutt blind squirrel finds a nut right, every
9:12
Speaker 1: once in a while, they figured things out, like Andrew
9:13
Speaker 1: McCutcheon was an MVP in Pittsburgh. Traded, Garrett Cole, young
9:19
Speaker 1: Pitcher showed some signs of promise, traded like those type players.
9:24
Speaker 1: They get them every once in a while. They passed
9:25
Speaker 1: through Western Pennsylvania and they're repackaged and they get quantity
9:31
Speaker 1: over quality every single time. And as the results come in,
9:35
Speaker 1: the results are poppycock. Poppycock. That's the results. And so
9:39
Speaker 1: what's the bottom line? If the Pirates trade Paul Skins,
9:43
Speaker 1: it would be a sporty war crime. There should be
9:47
Speaker 1: a tribunal here against Pittsburgh by all seven Pirate fans.
9:52
Speaker 1: You don't trade a generational arm that you don't have
9:54
Speaker 1: to trade for years to come. Who's not even in
9:57
Speaker 1: his athletic prime yet and at this point, considering how
10:02
Speaker 1: pathetic the Pirates are, Paul Skins is not just a
10:05
Speaker 1: player at this point, he is the avatar of the pirates, right,
10:09
Speaker 1: he is the face of the pirates. You trade Paul
10:12
Speaker 1: Skins and you're telling the fans without telling the fans,
10:16
Speaker 1: we don't care. You shouldn't care, don't support us. We're
10:20
Speaker 1: never gonna be serious. We're a joke, all right, now,
10:24
Speaker 1: turning the fins, all right. So the final part is
10:26
Speaker 1: we're gonna go to the Big Apple where the big
10:29
Speaker 1: showcase series this weekend, the Dowyers and the Mets. The
10:34
Speaker 1: Dodgers not playing that well recently, the Mets also not
10:38
Speaker 1: playing that well recently. But they're gonna lock horns here
10:40
Speaker 1: and wrangle over the weekend. And if I'm not mistaken,
10:43
Speaker 1: every one of those games is on a different channel.
10:46
Speaker 1: Every one of those games is on a different channel
10:49
Speaker 1: as Baseball has sliced up their television agreement. So get
10:55
Speaker 1: to the point, please, With Juan Soto being a Jag
11:00
Speaker 1: out of Jacksonville, Jag just a guy at this point
11:03
Speaker 1: one Soto is just a guy. So with that going on,
11:08
Speaker 1: his early season problems, struggles, what we want to say,
11:14
Speaker 1: and in the team that he left the Yankees playing
11:17
Speaker 1: pretty well. Someone that works for the Pinstripers, off the record,
11:21
Speaker 1: of course, believes that losing one Soto last offseason worked
11:28
Speaker 1: out better for the Bronx Bombers. Now, this is per
11:31
Speaker 1: the New York Post, a shady tabloid, so take it
11:33
Speaker 1: for what it's worth. But they said an anonymous Yankee
11:37
Speaker 1: staff member said they meaning the Yankees are quote definitely
11:43
Speaker 1: better without Sodo. All right, So that's the money quote,
11:47
Speaker 1: as we like to say, that's the money quote powder
11:51
Speaker 1: keg of a situation. So we'll frame it this way.
11:55
Speaker 1: Was one Soto's departure from the Bronx over to Queens?
12:00
Speaker 1: Was this really part of a grander master plan? Or
12:05
Speaker 1: are the Yankees just trying to save face after losing
12:09
Speaker 1: out to the Mets. So the arrow here is pointing
12:15
Speaker 1: directly towards the drado DRADL DRADL dreddl as in spin
12:19
Speaker 1: the dradle. This is emotional damage control, is what it is. Now,
12:24
Speaker 1: Riddle me this, batman. If the Yankees are better off, okay,
12:28
Speaker 1: forget all the stats and all the the Yankees are
12:31
Speaker 1: better off then why on God's green Earth did they
12:35
Speaker 1: aggressively pursue Juan Soto in the first place, Like why
12:40
Speaker 1: didn't they just say, listen, we thank you and have
12:43
Speaker 1: a nice day, we're out. But they offered him a
12:47
Speaker 1: contract which was just a few million behind the Mets.
12:51
Speaker 1: They didn't throw in as many perks other than that
12:56
Speaker 1: they were right there, so they must sweep that under
12:58
Speaker 1: the rug. Now, there are absolutely concerns. I don't know.
13:03
Speaker 1: You can get it now if you want, but the money.
13:06
Speaker 1: The only way these contracts work out is if you
13:08
Speaker 1: win a World Series, and even then, eventually you're gonna
13:12
Speaker 1: get stuck with an albatross every one of those big
13:16
Speaker 1: contracts at the end of the contract. It is horrific.
13:19
Speaker 1: I was told one time by a baseball executive that
13:22
Speaker 1: these ten year contracts, you have to look at them
13:25
Speaker 1: like five year contracts, that you have to win a
13:28
Speaker 1: lot in the first five years, and then anything you
13:31
Speaker 1: get after year five, year, six, seven, eight, it's gonna
13:34
Speaker 1: be mostly rags. It's riches to rags, And so you
13:37
Speaker 1: look at it. If you look at it like a
13:38
Speaker 1: five year contract, even though it's being paid out over
13:41
Speaker 1: ten years, you can justify the big money. The Yankees
13:45
Speaker 1: also will have for now long term flexibility and all that,
13:49
Speaker 1: the early returns for Juan Soto have not been particularly good. Nevertheless,
13:54
Speaker 1: I believe this is a damage control situation. It's spin, spin, spin,
13:59
Speaker 1: as we said, the pr spin and it's delusion masquerading
14:05
Speaker 1: is some kind of brilliant strategy. And it's like, Okay,
14:10
Speaker 1: it's like going to gamble in Vegas and you're playing
14:14
Speaker 1: roulette and you put the wrong bet in. You wanted
14:17
Speaker 1: to bet on like black twenty, and you ended up
14:21
Speaker 1: betting on Red seven and you end up winning, and
14:24
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, I meant to do that. You know,
14:26
Speaker 1: you screwed up. For some reason, it worked out, but
14:28
Speaker 1: you affed up. Now, let's see what Cody Bellinger and
14:32
Speaker 1: Golby Paul Goldschmidt do when we get down to October.
14:37
Speaker 1: Bellinger's not hitting for a great average. Last I checked
14:39
Speaker 1: Goldschmidt's he's old. So we'll see if they break down
14:43
Speaker 1: before the season. And that said, of the players the
14:46
Speaker 1: Yankees picked up with money that could have gone and
14:49
Speaker 1: would have gone and would have been allotted to the
14:53
Speaker 1: bonehead there, mister Soto, Max free does look to be
14:57
Speaker 1: the real deal. Now there is a conspiracy, and I
15:01
Speaker 1: do embrace many of these conspiracies. So this is the conspiracy,
15:06
Speaker 1: is that it's a ploy. The quote, of course, off
15:09
Speaker 1: the record, the quote is to mess with Juan Soto's head.
15:13
Speaker 1: So he goes down the tubes even more, knowing that
15:16
Speaker 1: he's a delicate little flower, and he reads all of
15:19
Speaker 1: the media coverage. He's aware of all the media coverage,
15:22
Speaker 1: and it's tormenting him that people aren't kissing his ass
15:24
Speaker 1: all the time. And and so he's like, oh man,
15:27
Speaker 1: this is terrible. And now the Yankees are this called
15:29
Speaker 1: the dog pile where you pile on top, and that's
15:33
Speaker 1: that's what's going on at this moment in time. What's
15:37
Speaker 1: going on here is the Ben Malor Show. Oh my god,
15:40
Speaker 1: I can't believe it. If you would like to be

Speaker 1: you want to know what pooby Pants's real name is,
19:16
Speaker 1: it's Chuck. So there is there is that. Eke in Roseville,
19:22
Speaker 1: Minnesota says, good thing Coop made the travel plans to
19:25
Speaker 1: the Canadian meet and greet for the crew, Otherwise Lorena
19:29
Speaker 1: would be showing up in Vancouver, Washington. Yeah.
19:34
Speaker 4: Uh yeah, what easy mistake.
19:37
Speaker 1: Well, it's all those Vancouver's are the same. Yeah, all
19:41
Speaker 1: those Vancouver's are the same. Alf the alien pinter says,
19:44
Speaker 1: you you knew we would complain, we would live for
19:47
Speaker 1: all of our dumb answers. The filibustering over the Lakers
19:50
Speaker 1: is useless. Save that for Vancouver. Alf says, well, listen,
19:55
Speaker 1: if somebody picks a fight with me, I'm gonna punch back.
19:57
Speaker 1: You know, I got attacked by a bully, a Laker lapdog.
20:01
Speaker 1: I am going to kick the Laker lapdog. That's what
20:03
Speaker 1: I do. Nature Boy writes, In says, uh, he's still reacting.
20:07
Speaker 1: He says, Coops Anthony Davis is a Hall of Famer.
20:13
Speaker 1: He says, no way. Well, well he had. I mean,
20:18
Speaker 1: it's one of those things like in a real Hall
20:19
Speaker 1: of Fame, he wouldn't be. He's got no championships, he's
20:22
Speaker 1: been hurt all the time. He's an underachiever. So from
20:25
Speaker 1: that standpoint, he doesn't deserve it. But the Pro Basketball
20:28
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame is a joke. It's like Muffett McGraw's
20:30
Speaker 1: in there. It's a complete sham. So he'll get in,
20:33
Speaker 1: he'll he'll he like a Russian contributors you've never heard
20:37
Speaker 1: of are in the Pro Bouncy Ball Hall of Fame.
20:39
Speaker 1: It's it's pretty bad. The bar is not that high
20:44
Speaker 1: to get in the pro Bouncy Ball Hall of Fame.
20:47
Speaker 1: And just the way it is, ayes go the phones
20:50
Speaker 1: and let's say hello Eenie, Meanie, miney Moe. Let's go
20:53
Speaker 1: to Mexico, Mike. It says, here for some hot pirate talk.
20:58
Speaker 1: Hello Mexican, So Mike, hot pirates?
21:02
Speaker 5: Yes what, I love the baseball monologue.
21:05
Speaker 2: But when you're the Pittsburgh Pirates and you're that bad,
21:10
Speaker 2: you can't believe anything their front office says.
21:14
Speaker 1: Well, even if they're even if they're good, you don't
21:16
Speaker 1: believe them. Look at the Dallas Mat. I'll give me Sam,
21:19
Speaker 1: the Mavericks. They were not great this year, but they
21:21
Speaker 1: weren't terrible at the time. They made the trade. They traded, well,
21:24
Speaker 1: they didn't trade. They gave away their franchise. And if
21:27
Speaker 1: you would, you would ask them, are you going to
21:29
Speaker 1: trade Luca? No, We're never gonna trade Luca.
21:31
Speaker 3: And they did.
21:31
Speaker 1: So it doesn't matter what these guys say. No one's
21:34
Speaker 1: on trade. Anyone can be traded.
21:37
Speaker 2: Well, of course, but with Pittsburgh they shouldn't. Even you
21:41
Speaker 2: could get rid of the Pirates for measure League Baseball,
21:46
Speaker 2: and the only people that would miss them are their
21:48
Speaker 2: seven fans that you mentioned, and the twenty nineteens are
21:51
Speaker 2: going to play them that know they're going to get
21:53
Speaker 2: a win ninety percent of the time.
21:55
Speaker 1: Well that's not ninety percent, it's like seventy five percent
21:58
Speaker 1: of the time they get a win. But ye know,
21:59
Speaker 1: I hear. Yeah. And beautiful ballpark though, it's just magnificent.
22:03
Speaker 1: I mean that is maybe you can make that. How
22:05
Speaker 1: about they make that a park. That'd be a nice park.
22:07
Speaker 1: You have a picnic lunch and you can watch you
22:09
Speaker 1: look at the boats on the water there and look
22:11
Speaker 1: at the skyline of Pittsburgh. Wonderful ballpark. Really that would
22:15
Speaker 1: be terrible.
22:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, that would be much better than playing baseball there.
22:20
Speaker 1: Yeah, just making a community park and it can be
22:23
Speaker 1: like a state park of Pennsylvania and get rid of
22:25
Speaker 1: the baseball team. Perfect. Yeah, okay, Gay, all right, thank you?
22:28
Speaker 3: Hey, will well love it?
22:30
Speaker 1: What then you love the show? He's all right? Bye?
22:32
Speaker 5: All right.

22:45
Speaker 5: I just want to say it's Bob Nutting's it's blame
22:49
Speaker 5: Bob Nutting, by the way, for the Pirates' failures and
22:54
Speaker 5: the difference between schemes. And he's not going to be there.
22:58
Speaker 2: You know.
22:58
Speaker 5: It's just like Garrett Cole. They're gonna they're gonna ship
23:00
Speaker 5: him off really quick. Here. He can't even win. His
23:03
Speaker 5: e r is two four four. That's in state. They
23:07
Speaker 5: can't even splore a run for it plays in baseball.
23:10
Speaker 5: Right now, you don't, I know, you don't want me
23:12
Speaker 5: to go into that. He's still there, by the way.
23:14
Speaker 1: No I slept. I stepped down. I thought, I that's

Speaker 1: I know you want to do it. You want to
23:34
Speaker 1: do it.
23:36
Speaker 5: I'm gonna say, yeah, there you go.
23:39
Speaker 1: He said it. Boopy said it. He said his kid's name.
23:42
Speaker 5: They're second in state, their second in state.
23:44
Speaker 1: Okay, why would I hang up on you? Listen? Uh,
23:49
Speaker 1: there was a guy. I'll tell you a funny story.
23:51
Speaker 1: There was one of our old morning guys. We've had
23:53
Speaker 1: like fifty morning shows since I've been in Fox Sports Radio. Right,
23:56
Speaker 1: the morning show. They actually care about that, so they
23:58
Speaker 1: change it all the time. So one of all morning guys,
24:01
Speaker 1: he was a talk shows out of Indianapolis, right, and
24:05
Speaker 1: and he he used to send me. We were like
24:08
Speaker 1: kind of pen pals for a little bit, and he'd
24:09
Speaker 1: send me stories about his kid. He was like a
24:11
Speaker 1: high high school, top high school kid in Indianapolis, and
24:15
Speaker 1: he was drafted out of high school and he didn't
24:18
Speaker 1: didn't sign. He went to Stanford and the guy ended
24:21
Speaker 1: up as a closer in the major leagues for the
24:24
Speaker 1: Washington Nationals.
24:25
Speaker 3: It was wild.
24:26
Speaker 1: I knew about the kid when he was in high
24:28
Speaker 1: school because his dad was like, you know, proud of him,
24:30
Speaker 1: and he was bragging about him.
24:31
Speaker 5: That's awesome. Who is I know all your trivia questions
24:34
Speaker 5: By the way, I'm like, I'm a nut bag when
24:36
Speaker 5: it comes to sports trivia.
24:38
Speaker 1: I don't really you have all the answers, yeah, yeah,
24:43
Speaker 1: do you not? Do you not have a life? You
24:44
Speaker 1: gotta have a life.
24:46
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't have a lie well, I do, but
24:48
Speaker 5: I don't you know, you know how it goes. I
24:51
Speaker 5: was married, but I'm divorced, so now I have more
24:53
Speaker 5: time on my hand.
24:54
Speaker 1: I understand you. No sports trivia. You can either get
24:58
Speaker 1: married or no sports trivia. You can't be married. You
25:02
Speaker 1: don't know everyone. I know that, no sports trivia and
25:04
Speaker 1: not married. If you're married, no time for sports trivia. Yeah. Anyway,
25:08
Speaker 1: all right, listen, I like you call it call a
25:10
Speaker 1: fifth time. It calls a fifth time. All right, I
25:13
Speaker 1: gotta go. Pirates. By the way, the pitcher we've been
25:17
Speaker 1: talking about Paul Skins. He has started ten games this season.
25:22
Speaker 1: The Pirates are three and seven in the games he
25:26
Speaker 1: started three and seven. And this guy has been lights
25:30
Speaker 1: out all the nerd stats. They're like, they're all, you know,
25:34
Speaker 1: they got a woody. They're so excited about the nerd stats.
25:36
Speaker 1: And he in three and seven with him on the
25:38
Speaker 1: mountain like the top guy for the Pittsburgh Pirates. Brutal, brutal, brutal, brutal, brutal.
25:45
Speaker 1: All right, it is the Ben Mahler Show. We'll keep
25:48
Speaker 1: going on the phones because it's a call in show.
25:50
Speaker 1: And who do we have next? Let's say Hello, any
25:53
Speaker 1: meaning mind, Let's go to Chris. Chris is in Maryland
25:55
Speaker 1: and he is up next, representing the entire state of Maryland.
25:59
Speaker 6: Hello, Chris, No, not the entire state, but anyway, what
26:04
Speaker 6: would do? What would happen if it was Paul Stein's
26:07
Speaker 6: traded to the Mets because one Soda is not doing
26:12
Speaker 6: so well? Would that even be a consideration?
26:16
Speaker 1: Are you? Are you calling for one Soda to be
26:19
Speaker 1: traded to the Pittsburgh Pirates? Is that what you're saying?
26:22
Speaker 6: No, well, I'm not. What is work? What if you
26:26
Speaker 6: were if you were the GM of the Mets or
26:29
Speaker 6: the GM of the Pirates, you know what I mean?
26:34
Speaker 1: Listen, if you gave me, well, hold, say, if you
26:37
Speaker 1: gave me one thousand dollars and said, where is Paul
26:40
Speaker 1: Stein's going to ultimately end up? And you gave me
26:43
Speaker 1: four teams? All right, you can have everyone else. I'll
26:46
Speaker 1: take four teams. I've got Dodgers, I've got Yankees, I've
26:51
Speaker 1: got Red Sox. I'll throw the Cubs in there. You
26:54
Speaker 1: can have everyone else, and I'll be right. I'll be right.
26:58
Speaker 6: One of those teams, okay, but but not the Met.
27:02
Speaker 1: I don't think he's going to go to the Mets.
27:04
Speaker 6: What I'm saying is is what if you all right,
27:08
Speaker 6: you have the first draft pick, and then you got
27:11
Speaker 6: to consider their contracts and their value at this point
27:13
Speaker 6: in time. If you had to pick one Soda or
27:16
Speaker 6: Paul Skins right now, first pick, you get the pick first,
27:20
Speaker 6: go ahead, who are you picking?
27:22
Speaker 1: Well, what I would take? I would take one Soda
27:24
Speaker 1: because he's an everyday player and he's playing terribly right
27:27
Speaker 1: now at the moment, But if you look at his
27:29
Speaker 1: all time performance, if you figure at some point he's
27:33
Speaker 1: going to play better and say this is I'm enjoying.
27:36
Speaker 1: I'm enjoying ripping him. Don't get me wrong, Like I
27:39
Speaker 1: like the fact he sucks right now and I can
27:41
Speaker 1: goof on him and get monologues out of it. But
27:43
Speaker 1: at some point he's going to end up being better.
27:45
Speaker 1: And so uh yeah, I mean we.
27:48
Speaker 6: But they got it, but also considered the contract you
27:51
Speaker 6: you got, he's got seven hundred and sixty five. I mean,
27:54
Speaker 6: I don't think Schemes is going to get that kind
27:56
Speaker 6: of task by doing no.
27:58
Speaker 1: Because he's a pitcher and he pitched. You know, he
27:59
Speaker 1: wants we know the deal once every five days and
28:02
Speaker 1: all that stuff.
28:02
Speaker 6: Anyway, I love the baseball monologue obviously. That's why I
28:06
Speaker 6: called thank you. Shout out lorraina shout out to Cooper
28:08
Speaker 6: Loop quick thinking Onop and the Lakers. I love the
28:12
Speaker 6: Clippers more than the Lakers too, but god, they're smart.
28:15
Speaker 1: Man. Well listen, Coop. You know he's used to people
28:17
Speaker 1: kissing his ass and he needs talkolog he is. You know,
28:21
Speaker 1: that's that's the reality of the situation. So thank you.
28:24
Speaker 1: Look at it. Everyone loves the baseball. I need more baseball.
28:28
Speaker 1: I have to do more baseball monologues that I know.
28:32
Speaker 1: I told you. I told Coop, I say yeah. The
28:38
Speaker 1: other night, I said, yeah, the Angels one again. He
28:40
Speaker 1: asked me if I was do a monologue and the
28:42
Speaker 1: Angels as probably not. And then you asked me what
28:45
Speaker 1: it would take to get a monologue on the Angels,
28:48
Speaker 1: and I believe I told you Coop that it was
28:50
Speaker 1: five more wins, But now it's how many? Two more wins,
28:52
Speaker 1: three more, three more? Who do they play? Who do
28:54
Speaker 1: they playing next to? Marls? No? Man, Wow, the Halos
29:03
Speaker 1: break up the Halos? Baby? Is that right? They're gonna
29:08
Speaker 1: They're gonna do it. They're playing well right now. On
29:11
Speaker 1: Washington Man. They got something going there. Wow, that's pretty wild.
29:16
Speaker 4: I'm trying not to get too excited.
29:18
Speaker 1: But you know, you gave up the Angels for lent,
29:21
Speaker 1: then you give up the Angels back. You know, many
29:23
Speaker 1: years ago you gave up.
29:24
Speaker 4: The I'm still boycotting the team as and I'm not
29:27
Speaker 4: going to games. I'm not buying merch but you know, yeah,
29:31
Speaker 4: I'll watched them round.
29:33
Speaker 1: Yeah. By the way, the player that I mentioned that,
29:38
Speaker 1: I guess I didn't mention his name, but Drew Storin.
29:41
Speaker 1: He was the closer. He had like two good, really
29:43
Speaker 1: good years. I don't even know if he was an
29:44
Speaker 1: all I think he was an All Star, might not
29:46
Speaker 1: have been, but I had two really good years for
29:48
Speaker 1: the Washington Nationals. This is about ten maybe fifteen years
29:51
Speaker 1: ago now, and I'm dating myself, but his dad worked here,
29:55
Speaker 1: was the morning guy, and then I knew about him.
29:58
Speaker 1: He was at high school in the Indian Apples area
30:00
Speaker 1: and then went to Stanford and then that was like
30:03
Speaker 1: a first round pick and played. I can't believe he
30:06
Speaker 1: hasn't played in like almost ten years now. Wow. Time flies.
30:11
Speaker 1: Time flies when you're having fun, even when you're not
30:13
Speaker 1: having fun. It flies, it does. How expensive is there?
30:18
Speaker 1: We have information? Now this is from the interweb, so
30:21
Speaker 1: it could be true, it might not be true, so
30:23
Speaker 1: we'll take this with a grain of salt. The report
30:27
Speaker 1: out on how much NBC is paying Michael Jordan as
30:33
Speaker 1: a NBA commentator, but not a full time commentator, a
30:37
Speaker 1: part time commentator, a special contributor to their basketball coverage.
30:42
Speaker 1: His next season, NBC will return as an NBA broadcaster.
30:47
Speaker 1: Let's do let's go around the room. We'll do little
30:49
Speaker 1: round robin and whoever goes closest without going over, whoever
30:55
Speaker 1: goes closest without going over, will be declared the win.
31:00
Speaker 1: So I have the total contract value. I'm not sure
31:03
Speaker 1: how long the contract is, so factor that in, but
31:06
Speaker 1: the number, there's a dollar amount that is said to
31:09
Speaker 1: be out there. I assume this is per year, but
31:11
Speaker 1: possibly not. Lorena Michael Jordan. Do you know who that is?

32:02
Speaker 4: know like the length of the contract. But I'm gonna
32:05
Speaker 4: put it. Let's I'm going to assume it's one year. Okay,
