  Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Money, money, money, all about that money. So our lead
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: this hour from Seattle, where the Seahawks have opened up
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: the oil reserve and decided to give out the riches
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: of Solomon team is for sale right now some rich
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: tech personal buyder, hedge fund person. Those are the only
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: people that buy teams these days. So somebody very wealthy,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: more wealthy than you and I, is going to buy
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: the team and they will inherit a massive contract given out.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: As we learned that Jackson Smith and Jigma, the reigning
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: NFL Offensive Player of the Year, has agreed to a contract.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: He'll get four years, same money you're making four years,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty eight point six million. I'll just
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: take the point six I'd be happy one hundred and
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: sixty eight point six million the contract extension, which we
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: are told, yes, indeed, will make him the highest paid
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: wide receiver in the history of the NFL. Holy Willie
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Flipper Anderson Batman. Yes, the money, jeez great, Well, when
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: you deal with inflation, it's the same money as like
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: John Taylor was making as the number two receiver for
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: the Niners back in the late eighties in the early nineties. Right, No,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: it's not okay, So he will get if assuming he
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: plays out the contract. We're told he'll get an average
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: forty two million Jackson Smith and Jigba forty two million,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: and that includes over one hundred and twenty million gam
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: wrong Teed, gearrong Teed and both those setting records. I
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: know we're very happy about that. So pour one out
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: for Jackson Smith and Jigba as he gets paid. That
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: is a good jumping off point. Let us discuss reading
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: some of the instant reaction from the media elites that
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: cover the NFL. They seem to be in agreement that
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: this is a major win for the Seattle football team.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question the Seahawks extension of
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Jackson Smith and Jigba is being universally praised and celebrated.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: Way to go. What's your take?
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: So I've got glow sticks, avocados and the Gap band,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together and
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: we will play on the jungle gym.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: Is what we're going to do. So hey, let's begin
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: with this.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Jackson Smith and Jigba obviously got a ton of money.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Good for him, great mitzvah right, and that pigskin pundits
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: are clapping like rain seals at seahawk World. Not SeaWorld.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Seahawk World is what they're doing here. Now, my view
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: is more measured, as you know, I am the voice
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: of reason in the overnight, not part of the mainstream
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: media establishment. That's six am to six pm. We're on overnight,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: So we are not part of the mainstream media elites,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: those guys that live in big mansions and get all
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: kinds of bling bling. No, no, we're not that. So
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: this is an excession. He had a sixty nine million
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: dollars signing bonus. That's a lottery that's bigger than most
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: of the lotteries today, sixty nine million. And he got
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: that as a reaction to what is a pure dopamine
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: hit an injection in fact, not just an injection of
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: dopamine straight into the jugular of the front office. And
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: JSN has gotten the benefit of being obviously it was
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: a central figure. And what they did with the Seahows
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: got some help from the referees against the Rams. We
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: all know that that's certainly should thank the referees. They
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: should get checks as well, Jackson Smith and Jig but
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: should give them checks for helping them out there the Seahawks,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: otherwise they would not have won the Super Bowl. But
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: monster mashing in twenty twenty five, no debate, no if
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: sands were butts about it. He was great last year. However,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: it's one truly elite season. What is the gold The
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: golden rule was always and I know it's no longer
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: the golden rule, you're just doing an old guy radio dude.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: But the rule had always been you got to do
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: it twice to prove that that year was not a
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: fluke and that one out the win. And we see
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: stiff quarterback Kyler Murray sucked.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: Everyone knew it.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: The Cardinals paid him, they gave him the big contract
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: in Houston. Right now they're dealing with that.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: CJ. Stroud blows.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: They gave him, you know, they gave him a contract,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: and they're gonna give him another big, massive contract. So
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: he's gonna get paid a ton of money and he's
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: not that good, and they'll do it because they have
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: to do it, and that's what you do and all
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: that stuff. But in this case, at least he was
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: great for one year dominant season. The main reason the
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: theory I have, the main reason that Jackson Smith and
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: jig But got this contract is simply because of the
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: glow sticks. When I say the glowsticks, I'm talking about
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: the afterglow of the Super Bowl that you're around. That
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Lombardi trophy. You get in that same room, it's like fentanyl. Yeah,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: you get a contact high. Don't touch it. You get
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: that contact high. Mentioned the dopamine, You get that dopamine going.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: And so Seattle is paying a premium as a thank
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: you note. Amazing and it was a great memory. It
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: was wonderful and it's written in gold ink. And now
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: you got to keep doing it all right now, page two.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: So the theme of the hour here as we continue
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: to march and matriculate down the audio clock here. So
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: the question now is how could this Jackson Smith and
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Jigba massive record breaking wide receiver contract backfire for the
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: six Now, it would be really sad if this would
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: have backfired. I'd be really depressing if this turns out
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: to be a bad contract, even though.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: Everyone's celebrating it.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: And one thing I've learned over the years is when
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: everyone's in agreement on something, run the other way. When
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: everyone thinks something's going to happen, go the other direction
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: because nobody knows anything. It's the chaos theory of the world.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Everyone's just making stuff up thinking they know.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: They don't know.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: So it certainly looks fine because the salary cap goes
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: up every year. You're like, the money stuff doesn't really
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: doesn't really do.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: Much for me.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: But as long as he continues to be a human
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: cheat code, you're like, Okay, that's fine. However, in the multiverse,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: there is a dimension where Smith and Jigba is just
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: really good and not that really good is bad. No
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: one would say really good is bad. Really good is
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: really good, so you go, okay, However, is really good
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: a forty million, forty two million dollar neighborhood for a
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: wide receiver or did Seattle just by beachfront property, and
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: the reality is they are sitting in Nebraska. Is that
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: the reality on that? And so this always becomes press
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: your luck. These contracts are press your luck, big money, big.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: Money, big money. No emmy, no emmy, stop like that.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: That's how it goes. Now.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: The smart money says that a monster career year for
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Smith and Jigba will lead to what we call a
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: regression to the mean that he's not that good and
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: he's going to fall back a little bit, and extreme
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: outcomes are followed by more moderate ones.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: We all know that.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: And he is young and all, he was all excited
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: about that, twenty four years old. That's oh, he's so young.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Youth is lovely, it's so adorable. The youth, Oh my god. However,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: I have learned that not everyone. Can you just assume
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: because someone's young and have success, they're going to continue
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: to have success. We all know the person that peaked
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: in high school, right, the star of the high school
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: football team that never did anything, of the hottest girl
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: in school who just became a loser. We all know
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: that person, right, we all live that life. We've seen that.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: So that happens in sports too, and it's no different
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: than a new car. Yeah, you go down and the
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: new car is great, it's wonderful. You go down a
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: Car Max or wherever dealership, you get a car, and
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: right until you drive that car off the lot, it's great.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: And then the value drops down, down, down, down down.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: How low can you go faster than a defensive coordinator
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: having a meltdown, having a lack of patience because their
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: defense sucks and all that. But generally speaking, receivers, if
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: you look at the up and down of the wide
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: receiver position, it's like an avocado. Now, I'm not a
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: big avocado guy. The avocado, though, can be absolutely perfect.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: You take it from the story, you put in your
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: little plastic bag and you take that home and it's perfect,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: and then like you don't even pay attention to it,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: and then a minute later it's this brown mush and
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: it's just disgusting. And so that does happen a bit.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Now JSN has a bigger bullseye the Seahawks as a
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: team winning the Super Bowl, But it's about the size
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: of that bullseye of Mount Rainier for Jackson, Smith and Jig.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: But every defensive back will from here to Miami, We'll
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: be like, Okay, so now we can circle the name
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: and our name will be uplifted.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: It's like a launching pad.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: If we shut down this guy because he got the
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: cartoon contracts, so we're good on that. And if production
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: does dip even a little bit, then this Smith and
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Jigbud deal turns into moldy bread, not slice bread, moldy bread.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: And based on the twenty twenty five production, if you
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: look at that, just based on that year, if he
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: had the same exact year, which would be an amazing year.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: No one has back to back career years, it doesn't happen.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: If he does Jackson, do that, then he would be
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: getting three hundred and fifty three thousand dollars per catch.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: He would be getting four point two million dollars per
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: touchdown based on some back of the Napkin malar math.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: So it seems like that's pretty good at that price.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: You would think that each reception would come with a
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: complimentary like valet parking, get free valet parking, You get
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: a dessert cart with really nice designer cupcakes and those
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: thick cookies, the white chocolate macadamia nut cookies that are
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: so good. Yeah, you get all that. Now, last word here,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: So flipping the page. Flipping the page now as we
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: continue to hearing the Ben Malor show. So now that Seattle
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: forked over the cash and they made it rain. In fact,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: it's unfortunate, as I'm told that No Stradinas and Jay
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: j n Renton, they actually Seattle they needed some money,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: so they took some cash from those guys to pay
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: Smith and jig But it's unfortunate unless they didn't. So
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Seattle forked over all this money. The question here is
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: what are the trickle down economics? Shout out Ronald Reagan,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: what are the trickle down economics of this Jackson, Smith
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: and Jigba contract with Seattle around the NFL. So it
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: is reverberating, reverberating around the NFL. The rest of the
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: NFL cranking up the Gap band. That's old. That's an
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: old band, the gap band right on the boom box.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: They got that going. That's old. Also, you dropped a
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: bomb on Me. That's the song you dropped a bomb
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: on me. The Seahawks trickled down economics. Bomb come boom,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: come boom, just like that on the rest of the NFL.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: So if you check the consumer price Index, the Seahawks
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: have just raised the price of grocer around the NFL
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: just like that. Now, former President Joe Biden would say,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: it's the putin price hike on wide receivers, that's it.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: The JSN deal is pure salary cap inflation. But it
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: trickles down. I'm a salary cap truther, so I don't
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: really care about that, but it trickles down. It inflates
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: everything suddenly. The issues here. I mean, I was getting
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: text from from friends of mine that are around this
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: world and they're like, well, you know, Jamar Chase is
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: going to be like, wait a minute. You know I'm
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: better than Smith and Jigba. I should be getting this
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: money and my contract. I'm now number two, but I'm
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: a bargain And every other wide receiver from Justin Jefferson
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: to CD Lamb, all these guys would be like, hey,
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: let's try to renegotiate, gets some more money.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: Who says no?
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: And the one that's really smiling Pooka Nakoua, who's measurably better.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: And you'd much rather have Pooka Nakoula than Jackson, Smith
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: and Jigba on your team. Please not even close. And
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: and he's got Phokinaku has got a cheshire cat smile
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: on his on his face from ear to ear because
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: he's sitting in the pole position and he's like, Hey,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: I got next, I'm in put me in, coach, I'm
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: ready to play. The wide receiver market is on fire,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: absolute fire, and it does prove.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: The cap is crap.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: And I get nasty emails every once in a while some
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: guys who don't have the balls to call.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: I get it.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: You're afraid I understand, so you send me long manifesto emails.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: Do I read the whole email? Hell no, I may
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: be read the first couple of sentences. That's it, and
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: I get bored. But you're yell. I know what the
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: tone is. You know you're not a math guy, and
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: you know you went to Shuttle Bark College and you
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: don't know about shut up. I know it's bogus. The
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: salary cap is bogus. It just fools dumb people.
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: That's it. That's all. And this is more evidence of that.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: The rich get richer good, the mid tier guys get
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: squeezed bad. The owners are still gonna cry poverty. It's
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: a great excuse. I can't afford to sign that player.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: It's all Sorlarycap. Yet other teams just cook the books
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: and move numbers around, sign whoever they want, and then
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: every once in a while you have to take it
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: in the shorts, and then that's it.
• 14:16

  Speaker 1: Show on the iHeart Radio app or wherever you get
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: your podcasts. He's still moving, So let's talk some baseball.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: Start out in Atlanta. This is a story that caught
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: my attention, and.
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: I think it's interesting.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: This happens a lot in baseball, more so in baseball
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: than other sports. So a couple years back, the Atlanta Braves,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: that's a baseball team, and the Atlanta Braves had a
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: pitcher named Spencer Strider who scared the bajeebers.
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: Out of me.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: I say, oh, my god, this guy's going to dominate
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: the baseball circuit for the next ten years total stud
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: watch out and he was great. He I won twenty games,
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: is his first real full season in the big leagues.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: I was like, my god, the Atlanta Braves are set. Well,
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: the season's about to begin here. In fact, it begins tomorrow.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: This is it's early Tuesday. The season begins on Wednesday,
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: and Spencer Streider will start the twenty twenty six baseball season,
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: where he has been quite a bit in recent years
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: on what we used to call back in the day
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: the disabled list, but the Wolkester's got the baseball so
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: now they call it the injured list, because I guess
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: disabled offensive and the injury. The injury for Spencer Strider
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: an oblique strain. An oblique You think if I gave
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: some of these people that call the show one thousand dollars,
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: they would be able to tell you what an oblique is.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: Probably not probably not a muscle on the side of
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: your They call it the trunk, the middle part of
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: your body. There, the trunk part of your body, no legs,
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: no arms, just the middle part. So anyway, we are
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: told the good news. I love this, the good news
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: bad news. The good news is the injury. It's not
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: an arm injury. It's just it's an oblique and all that.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: The bad news is he's gonna miss six weeks, which
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: my computer like brain tells me is a month and
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: a half that he will be out. Bye bye, that's it,
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: see you later. And not only that, he would have
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: to then go and work bullpen sessions and minor league
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: assignments to come back after that, because he is not
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: going to be able to throw the baseball until the
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: injury heals. And so the oblique muscle, if you need
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: to twist your body or bend your body, it's a problem.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: Have you ever seen a pitcher that has been able
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: to throw a baseball without twisting their body or bending
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: their body? Because I've not seen it. I've not seen it.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: I have not seen it. So anyway, as a result,
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: he's gonna be out for a while. So it's good
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: jumping off point. Let us discuss the question at Atlanta Bright. Now,
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: this is if anyone's going to take down the Dodgers
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: in the National League, the smart people claim it's the Braves,
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: that they're the top team the threat to the Dodgers,
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: not the Podres or the Giants, or the Phillies or
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: the Cubs, It's the Atlanta Braves. So my thought on
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: the question is this, you know, how are you reading
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: this latest development? That's the question, how are you read
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: in this latest development with Spencer Strider, It's gonna be
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: out at least a month and a half, likely two
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: and a half months. I'm gonna say so my observations,
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: I've got the better business Bureau, Spirit Animal and doctor
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: pimple Popper, and we will combine all of these things
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: together and we are going to throw a knuckleball, is
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: what we're going to do.
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: Now, Number.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: It is now fair to declare, without all precincts reporting in,
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: we have now decided that Spencer Strider, who looked like
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: the next great Braves pitcher online with that golden era
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: of Maddox, Glavin and Smoltz, can now be classified as
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: a shooting star.
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: That's it.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: I danced in the sky, little little dancy in the
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: sky there and then faded into the darkness.
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: A one hit wonder.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: He was a lou Bega Mambo number five, Remember that
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: song Mambo number five was popular, right, Because I'm making
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: too many music references because there's a lot of music
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: snobs and I'm not a music guy. I just know
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: a little bit on the surface when it comes to music.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: I'm not a music guy. And the music snob loves
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: to say, Hey, sporty boy, you don't know what you're
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: talking about. But I'm pretty sure that that was the
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: only hit a little bit, you know that.
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: Remember the song Monica exactly?
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a one hit wonder. That is what Spencer Streider is.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: Baseball version of a band that had one catchy song
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: that everyone played for a couple of months back when
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: people used to do that, when everyone was listening to
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: the same stuff and all that, and then disappeared and
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: then popped up years later doing the Country Fair Circuit,
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: which is just great. And twenty three for Spencer Strider
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: was amaze. That was a solid gold hell he went platinum.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: He went platinum since then. Spencer Strider has an era
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: of over five almost five and a half straight to
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: the bargain bin of baseball. And if you look at
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: the red marks on his injury report, it's the same
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: color of the Angels alternative uniforms, those red red jerseys
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: that they wear. And so now he's back yet again
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: on the il Spencer Strider with this oblique injury. This
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: is what he is, This is who he is. This
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: is not a detour, this is a road map. It
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: is a treasure map. He's on the injury list, you
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: know so much. It's like, my god, what are you doing?
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: And it's just bodies either falling apart or something's going
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: on here. And the season begins and they're like.
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: Oh, this guy.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: They were getting reports out. I was reading some of
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: the stories out of the Atlanta Brave spring training camp.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: This guy was great, and he's throwing the mid nineties again,
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: the veloss. He's up a little higher, not what it was,
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: but not that low, and things are looking good and
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: boom goes the dynamite.
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: Boom goes the dynamite pulled just out of there. See
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: you later.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: So, unfortunately, pitching is a full body operation, and so
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: they said it's not the arm. The oblique would be
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: what the transmission in the automobile. I believe the transmission,
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: the chassis, the whole operation. So you cannot separate it,
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: cannot do it.
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: So he's gone.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: From Spencer Stratter's gone from flamethrower the next big thing
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: to a flickering candle in.
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: The wind, a candle in the wind.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: The intimidation, Eh, not quite there, not quite there. Now
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: it's essentially like traffic cones out on the highway. Everyone's
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: cruising for a bruising and right through those traffic cones
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: like that, and the Braves what they ought to do
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: here is content act. The Better Business Bureau, the BBB
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: contact them and say, hey, we thought we had found
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: a franchise pillar. The Braves should say to the Better
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: Business Bureau in Spencer Strider, and instead what they got
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: was a sand castle, which was really good until the
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: tide came in, and it didn't come in in twenty
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: twenty three, but in twenty four and twenty five it
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: came in, andto appears here in twenty twenty six it
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: is coming in yet again. So the mallor reality check,
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: the cy young level version of Spencer Stryder sing with
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: me now.
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: Not a Lota dalada Hey.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: Go bye, dead and buried. That's in the afterlife that
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: see you later. We'll tell stories. Remember that year Spencer
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: Strider went twenty games. He's likely not gonna win twenty
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: games the rest of his career the way he's going
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: at this particular moment.
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: Meanwhile, to Damaged.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: Goods two point zero, we go to La La Land,
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: where the Doyers the doorris idam one spring training game left.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: They begin on Thursday, begin on Thursday. Giants and Yankees
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: begin the baseball season on Wednesday. So anyway, the spring
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: training festivities wrapping up at this particular point, the Dodgers
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: did what they normally do it this time of the year.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: And every team that's had this guy in the roster
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: they have announced at one of their star players is
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: going on the injured list. Now they announced their twenty
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: twenty six starting rotation. This is the most dominant team
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: in all the baseball and it's just that no one's
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: gonna watch. The Dodgers are gonna win. You don't even
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: have to.
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: Play the games.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: All that crap we gotta hear. So the Dodgers' rotation
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: Yoshinobu Yamamoto, which is Japanese for big balls man. What
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: did he have big balls in the World Series? So
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: he's the number one guy. Thank god Kershaw's not on
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: this team. So Emmett Sheehan is in the rotation. I
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: think he's gonna start second, and then Tyler Glass now
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: who will be injured by the end of April, and
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: Roki Sazaki will also be in there, and then Otani's
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: the number five star arder. More on Sazaki later as
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: he is a gas can. And then some You've got
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: Dave Roberts who made the announcement. He mentioned this a
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: few days ago. Now it's confirmed. Blake Snell bro I
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: ain't playing unless I get mine bra Blake Snell is
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: gonna shockingly be on the injured list and he will
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: be out until sometime in the middle of May.
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: Hmmm.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: Things that make you go, all right, question, here's the question.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: Why is it every single year with this guy? How
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: is Dodger Pitcher Blake Snell never ever ready on time?
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: It's unbelievable.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: It's like, you know, it's like the married guy with
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: the wife who's I'll be ready in thirty minute.
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: No, you're ready in two hours. What's up with that?
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: And Blake Snell treats Opening Day like it's jury duty.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: Anything he can do to get out of Opening Day.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: This guy wants to do it. There must be some
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: great twitch stuff going on and he wants to do that.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: I don't want to be bothered to pitch. Are you
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: kidding me?
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: Now?
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: We are skeptical on whether or not these are legitimate
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: injuries or it's just like the buffering wheel of death
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: when the regular season is about to beginning, that thing
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: on your computer that keeps buffering, You're like, come on, stop, stop, stop, stop,
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: stop to stop buffering like that, and it's like, hey,
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: hold on, bro, I got Fortnite over here. I can't, dude,
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: I gotta concentrate on Fortnite. I must concentrate on Fortnite.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: And don't worry. I'm told that Blake Snell will be
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: fine because he will get shoulder RUPs from that Dodger
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: suck up Vassa will give him shoulder RUPs. So I
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: think he'll be okay there eventually. And the Dodgers are
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: also culpable as well for saying, oh, take your time,
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: take your time. Yeah, what are they running a day
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: spa over there? They got a nice day Spa. You
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: see the Dodgers raised parking ten dollars from last year.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: Here's forty five dollars to park your car. Forty five
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: bucks to park your car Dodger Stadium. They got no
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: shame over there.
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: That is insane.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: Forty five dollars to park your car. They give you
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: an oil rub down while they're there. My god, forty
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: five bucks. Anyway, back to the point at hand, So
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: every year, going back to Tampa when he became famous,
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: I ain't playing unless I get mine bro. I'm risking
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: my live bro. And then to San Diego and San Francisco,
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: it's the same act. April and May it is extended
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: vacation and June. Hey, guys, I'm starting to stretch a
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: little bit. I'm starting to stretch. He makes Kawhi Leonard
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: look like an iron Man. This Blake Snell he does.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: And he treats half the first half of the season April,
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: May and June.
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: Blake Snell treats it like it's like it's down loadable.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: Content on you know, a video game, downloadable content. That's it.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: And you know, the jock sniffers, of course defend him.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: The fanboys in the media defend Blake snow it's a
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: slow building. You'll give them time, He'll be okay, okay, yeah,
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: well I love the fields. Well it doesn't matter, you know,
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: just as long as he's there for the playoffs. Like okay,
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: So the Dodgers keep paying these guys tons of money
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: so they can charge forty five dollars price godage their
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: fans for parking, and it's okay for him to miss
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: half the half the year. Come on, not in my world.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: Maybe in your world, your loser world, but not in
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: my world. I call that being late malfeasance, being late
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: to work and all that.
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: And uh now.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: He's he's the only guy who's spring training ends around
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: the All Star Game.
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: That's it.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: And his spirit animal I determined Blake Snell's spirit animal
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: Dodger Pitcher, Blake snell spirit animal, Garfield the cat. He's
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: got the trifecta. He likes snacks, naps, and video games.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: All he needs is an addiction to las And who
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: doesn't like lazagna.
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: It's the perfect meal. You can get it with meat
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: or without.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: Me just have it cheesy lasagna. You can put weird
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: vegetables in there. Lazagni is the perfect meal. So I'm
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: sure he probably does like lazagna.
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: And it's great.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: You could eat it while you got the joystick in
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: one hand, you got the twitch camera there, and you're
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: eating your lasagna like that's a professional athlete place now
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: right there.
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: So there you go.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: It is just the whole thing's ridiculous at this point.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: And again the Dodgers are enabling this. They're okay with it.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: It's like, as long as you're there.
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: For the last couple of months of the year, we're okay.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: Remember he got lit up in the World Series, is
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: absolutely torched by Toronto.
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: I hated to see that so sad.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: Hey, the Dodgers went anyway, But it's the old Hollywood script, right, disappear,
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: disappear early, and then have the dramatic second half, comeback
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: and go win the oscar a right, last word, quick, right,
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: we go to the saddest place in baseball, otherwise known
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: as the Big A.
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: So I had a couple of our listeners who.
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: Were at the Angel Dodger game, not on Tuesday or
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: not on Monday, rather that was at Dodger Stadium, but
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: on Sunday, I think it was Sunday, right, They played
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: a game at Anaheim Stadium whatever it's called now, Angels
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: Stadium whatever, And so I guess this went viral. I
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: don't know if these guys took it or they found
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: the photo online, but there's it did go viral. There's
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: a photo and they try to dress up the ballpark.
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: And they do this pretty much every ballpark I've been to,
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: where they put giant sticker like fat head things, if
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: those are still a thing. They put these up of
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: different players on the team. And so the Angels went
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: viral for putting up images of pitcher Alec Manoa around
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: the Big A at least one. I think there were
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: more than that around the stadium, and Manoa trying to
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: jump start his career. He has as many wins with
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: the Angels as you do. He's never pitched a regular
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: season game with the Angels. He's had a dormant career.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: We talked about Spencer Streyder, Well, this guy's Spencer Strider
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: on steroids. When it comes to Big Arrival and then
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: quick exit, vanishing act, that whole thing. He's a reclamation project.
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: So the question what is the word, What is the
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: word for the Angels putting images up of a Reclamation
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: project picture they took a flyer on Alec Manoa around
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: the Big A. My word is bewildering with a capital B.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: That is my word, bewildering. I'd like to know the
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: person who signed off on this little arts and crafts
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: project there with the Angels, like somebody had to say, okay,
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: we need some we need some photos now. In fairness,
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: there's really no one else to put up there. They
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: all suck.
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: There's a bunch of no names there.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: They got Trout has heard all the time, and that's it.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: And it's essentially a triple A roster. Even with that,
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: why not celebrate the Angels at one point had a
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: good franchise before Arti Marino ruined it, Like they used
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: to have good players, So why not celebrate some of
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: those guys. Put up Darren Erstad's photo classic foot if
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: you if you don't have anyone on the team, who's
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: any good now, but celebrate your past. Put Chuck Finley
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: up there, or Gary Pettis or Devon White, some of
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: the whole School guys, Wally Joyner, some of those guys,
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: or Troy Loss instead, you put Alec Monoa. Come on, seriously,
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: and that is why the Angels are the satus team,
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: but they do have cheap tickets, and moms in Orange
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: County don't care. The moms just want a safe place
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: to go to watch games, and they want cheap food
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: and they want cheap tickets, and Arti Marino gives that
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: to them, so it doesn't matter. It does not matter.
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: And it's like there's just.
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: This gray overcast thing over the team and they're decorating
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: the walls at the Big A with a cautionary tale. Well,
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: you're supposed to brighten the ballpark. You're supposed to add
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: some sparkle, excite people, and uh yeah, and said this
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: is like an episode of Doctor pimple Popper where they
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: put the spotlight on the puss filled cyst. Now, why
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: would you do that? Yeah, And it's like, well it's see,
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: it's modern art. No, it's a puss filled cyst. What
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: are you doing depressing? It's a cry for help. And
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: Mano in twenty twenty two was a big time stud.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: This guy was trash talking and looked like he was
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: gonna be great and wonderful and all that stuff, and
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: then it all went to hell, and an era of
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: about five and a half very similar to Spencer Strider
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: and spinning around like a gymnast, and he's like he's
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: got the twisties at the Olympics and all that, and
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: the angels are.
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: Like, hey, we got no good players, so we'll try
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: to fix this guy. You know.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: It's like the the woman that takes the dude out
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: of prison with the rap sheet the size of Mississippi
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: and says, Okay, I'm gonna fix this guy. Well, no,
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: you're probably not. You're probably not gonna fix the guy.
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying, they got a tanker. Every once in
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: a while, it works.
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: It does.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: Every once in a while it works, We'll see. So
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: it's kind of like going to Goodwill buying this lumpy
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: sofa and they said, I'm gonna put new upholstery on it,
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: and I'm gonna sell it as a lot a luxury item.
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: That's probably not. So there you go, delusion, delusion that
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: that was an all timer.
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: It's Mallard, how about that?
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: To the third degree?
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: This is what gets here?
• 33:40
  Speaker 5: We go Lion's running back Jamiir Gibbs is the betting
• 33:43
  Speaker 5: favorite to win Offensive Player of the Year next season
• 33:45
  Speaker 5: at plus seven hundred odds. Ben, do you think the
• 33:48
  Speaker 5: departure of David Montgomery will lead to Gibbs having a
• 33:50
  Speaker 5: monster season?
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: I would not take that bet. He's a good player,
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: very good off good player. The Lions I don't think
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: are going to be good enough. You gotta be really good.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: I think the Lions will be a mid level team.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: Jared Goff starting to go the wrong direction. So Gibbs
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: will be great, but he's not gonna be the offensive
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: player there.
• 34:08
  Speaker 5: Next, a bipartisan bill is introduced to Congress on Monday
• 34:11
  Speaker 5: that looks to banned prediction markets for sporting events.
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: Then do you think this bill will pass? Well, it's
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: always about how much lobbying.
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: There's a war going on between the gambling companies and
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: the prediction market, which are you know, listen, they're gambling operations,
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: and so it's whoever can rub the back of the
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: politicians more and give them more donations, we'll get that
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: law pass.
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: I think there's room for everything.
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: A lot of people upset with the prediction markets that
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: they're messing things up.
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: Next, it was.
• 34:40
  Speaker 5: Supported over the weekend that New England Patriots could potentially
• 34:42
  Speaker 5: target fore agent Joey Bosa. Do you think Bosa can
• 34:45
  Speaker 5: still be a difference maker at this point in his career?
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: If you need a guy that can camp out in
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: the injury tent, coop and miss half the games, then
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: he'd be the perfect addition to your foot.
