  Speaker 2: contacted by management because one of the listeners showed up
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: to the studio uninvited and I was called out by
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: management for nothing. I had nothing to do with it.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: We'll explain what happened behind the scenes. Also here in

• 0:48
  Speaker 2: it is likely by the time you hear this, the
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: hot dog contest will have happened. But give you our
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: thoughts on that. Also, Dame Lillard says he's not a
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: gamble amid NBA rumors after being way by the box,
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: is that how you see it? And Celtics legend Paul
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Pierce calling himself the best pure score in NBA history

  Speaker 2: potato salad. I don't want it here. It is our
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: number three. It is a sausage fest. Though it really
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: is a sausage fest. I'm not kidding, I'm not exaggerating.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: Wel come, in the beginning of another hour of the
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Ben Mallord Show.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: What are you doing? It's a holiday? Why would you
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: do a live talk show on the fourth line.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: We are in the air everywhere as we sculpt our takes.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: We do, yeah, we do, and we try not to
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: drive into a corner like Max going through New Jersey
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: making his way back to the Commonwealth. As we are
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: hanging out. We are hanging out coast to coast, border
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: to border and beyond on the vast and considerably powerful
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: microphones of FSR emating live.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: From the wall, just a hole.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: In the wall from the Fox Sports Radio studios, as
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: approved by Jeff in Sacramento, who's a fan of the show.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: He admitted to that and this portion of the Ben
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Mallin Show made possible in part by our friends at
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: tire Rack. For over forty years, that's two generations. Tire
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Rack has been helping customers find the right tires for how,
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: what and where they drive, ship fast and freeback by
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: tire installation, Tire rack dot Com, the Way Tire Buying
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Show b Yeah, how about that?
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: All right? So our lead.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: This hour is from some It's very important to me.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: It's in Brooklyn, but it is not Marcel and Brooklyn,
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: nor is it Uncle Mo who no longer is in
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Brooklyn because he moved over to Jersey. But we're gonna
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: go to Coney Island to be exact. And hours from now.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: After a year of exile sent to Guantanamo Bay, Joey
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Chestnut is back and better than ever. He will be
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: competing in the most iconic event on the fourth of July,
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest, which is hours away
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: as we're doing this in real time now. Chestnut was
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: unable to give the world his skill because of his
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: deal to represent an evil veggie hot dog. He endorsed
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: it a sad day, but it wasn't asked last week
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: that he will return to the competition, and sure enough,
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: later today that will happen. He said he's thrilled to
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: be back at doing what he does best. So if
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: you've not been following it, perhaps you have some thoughts
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: on that. I have some thoughts.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question. How big a deal
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: is it?
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: How big a deal is it to have Joey Chestnut
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: back in the Independence Day hot dog eating fiesta. So
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: I've got my views on this. I've got George Washington,
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Lehman Brothers, and unicorns, and we will combine all of
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: these things together and we are going to enjoy some
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: dogs and buns.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Some dogs and buns. We'll do that.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: So first of all, all right, last year, the people
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: at Nathan's and Major League Eating decided they were going
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: to f around. They were gonna play hardball with the
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: golden goose. Now, what is the first rule of having
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: a golden goose? You don't mess with the golden goose?
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Right, foolish.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: It would be like the NFL banning Tom Brady from
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: competing in the playoffs because.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: He wore the wrong shoe, you know, or something like that.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: It was petty, it was dumb that he was not
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: allowed to compete in twenty twenty four. And it's kind
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: of like on the fourth of July, a lot of
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: towns are going to drones. I think that's dumb. I'm
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: a purist. When it comes to the Fourth of July.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: I want explosives. I want massive explosives. I don't want drones.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: I don't And so.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: It felt like going to a Fourth of July show
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: and it's drones, not fireworks.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Not the same. Right.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: When it comes to Joey Chestnut, he is the George
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Washington of the Glizzy Gobblers. He is when the guy
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: he calls himself Jaws Joey Chestnut, when he steps back
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: on that stage at the famous hot dog eating contest,
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: They're the Nathan's Famous hot Dog Eating Contest. It is
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: akin to the Liberty bell Out, Freedomman, hot Dogs for everyone,
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: the pursuit of happiness. It is a triumph to an
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: American tradition, and it is a middle finger to the
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: people that decided to ban him from the big evil
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: corporations and all that. And listen, it's great, a little
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: piece of Americana, jest Nut. You think about athletes that
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: have pushed back time. Joey Chestnuts I believe forty one
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: years old, and he is a hot dog devouring Demi god,
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: and he just wraps himself in the flag. Now, the
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: betting us, you can bet on everything, not in California
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: because everything's illegal, but in the rest of the free
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: world for the most part, other than a few places
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: in the Bible Belt. So DraftKings has Joey Chestnut as
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: a minus twenty five hundred favorite to win. Now, that
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: means you would have to bet your your child, like
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: maxis driving around, has got three kids, You'd have to
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: bet Max your your kid's college fund all of them
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: to win a If you win, you win like a
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: gift card to starbuckser right, Yeah, I mean the math
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: on that is not that good. It's bet a lot
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: and win win some peanuts. You know, you win some peanuts. Now,
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: to give you an idea, how lopsided Joey Chestnut is
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: in the hot Dog based on the odds, right, minus
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: twenty five hundred, that works out to a ninety six
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: percent chance.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Okay, they're saying.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: There's a four percent chance he doesn't win, which I
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: guess that would mean he like choked on something.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Anyway, Regardless, this is not about gambling or even the
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Mustard Belt. It is about what Joey Chestnut stands for.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: This is a guy that shows up, does his job.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: He does it better than any man, woman, or child
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: on the planet to shows up.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Give the man a play.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: The hot dogs get out of the way, just go away,
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: and you know, surround We're in this world where we're
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: surrounded by influencers and you know, social media stars and
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: all that. But Joey Chestnut is a throwback to the
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: old country in the US, right.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: This is a guy who has mastered a skill. He's
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: a craftsman.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: And you might say it's weird, it's gross, Oh, like
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: you're part of the problem.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: This is a craftsman who's gone out there.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: And and he owns it, and he's not apologizing for this.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: And this is the kind of hero that we didn't
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: know we need, but we do right.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: And he goes out there. He doesn't preach about anything.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: He's not about that. He's just eating hot Remember a
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: couple of years ago, some whack a doodle, some evil protester,
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: try to stop the hot dog eating contest, and Joey Chestnut,
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: like Superman, Captain America, Spider Man, Batman, anyone in the
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Justice League, he just shoved back that evil whack adoodle
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: and kept eating. He said, you're not going to make
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: this event of boondoggle and he went back to the
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: hot dogs.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: He did.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: So Chestnut is not out there. You know, he's not
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: out there making He's making money, but he's not making
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: as much as Lebron or anybody like that. It's a
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: great listen, this is his superpower, this is his skill.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Everyone. I believe everyone's got a superpower.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: Unfortunately, your superpower might be cleaning toilets, but that's your superpower,
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: so you should do what your superpower is now. Secondly,
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: we go to Wisconsin, we pivot to basketball a week
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: less than a week after being fired. Dame Lillard wants
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: you to know he is not a gamble. All kinds
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: of rumors he's going to go to this team, that team,
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: the other team. He says, he's not a gamble. He
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: was fired by the Milwaukee Bucks. So is that how
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: you see it? So if you miss this, Milwaukee is
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: going to eat without cheese curds one hundred and thirteen million,
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: one hundred.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: And thirteen million dollar contract.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: They're gonna eat that contract and just get rid of
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: it like it's something on the discount rack there at
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: TJ Max like just take it whatever, which is it's.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: Kind of cute, right because dame time.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: He says he's not a gamble, which I believe is
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: also what the Lehman Brothers said if you remember back
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: in eight I know it's been seventeen years, but they, Oh, no,
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: we're reliable.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: Oh we got a track record. Come on. Lillard is
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: thirty five.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: This month, which is not old in the real world,
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: but in sports it's old. He's rehabbing a achilles that
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: is like shredded shredded pork and the basketball equivalent of
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: some kind of dramatic Shakespearean drama, tragedy whatever, and he
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: is expected to miss the entire season next year, and
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: yet he wants you to know that he is.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Not a gamble.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: So let me get in the cockpit of my B
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: two stealth bomber a little truth bomb.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: The Achilles injury.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: Does not lie, right, and the aging thing is legit.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: And Lillard at his.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: Peak when he was on the Oregon Trail with the
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: Portland Trail Blazers, Damian Lillard was built on explosive ability
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: and all of that and bouncing around.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: And so if you take away the turbo button, what
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: do you have. We don't know.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: Can he reinvent himself. Sure, he's always been a defensive liability.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: That was before his achilles just folded away.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: And so that's that's a problem. And if you if
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: you're a contender, Now here's the thing. If you're a
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: contending team.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: And yet you have the flexibility and you want to
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: do some deep prayering, prayer, praying, praying, praying, then he's
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: a calculated risk. If you're expecting Dame Lillard to walk
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: through that door and he's like the twenty nineteen version
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: you were living in a place at Disneyland called Fantasy Lamb.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: All right, final thought.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: We now go to the Boop Tube where Boston Celtic's
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: legend Paul Pierce.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: He said he's got a TV show. I've never seen it,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: but there are some interesting quotes that come out of that.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: So Paul Pierce called himself the quote best pure scorer.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: In NBA history.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: That is blank. All right, that is blank. So my
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: word is unicorns. Ergo chasing unicorns in a thunderstorm. Right,
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: there are a few exits past Reasonville. He's already gone
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: past Reasonville. Now technically, Paul Pierce said, the term best
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: which means as good as all the rest. However, everyone
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: knows that Paul Pierce means.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: Better than all the rest. And this wasn't even a
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: random flex.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: This was Paul Pierce reacting to Lebron giving KD the flowers.
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: It's instead of this was on a podcast and Lebron
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: was a waxing poetic. But instead of just what normal
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: people would do with just tip the cap and say, okay,
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: you know what, good for him, he didn't do it.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: He's like, what about me? What about he became? What
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: about me? Listen?
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: Pierce solid career, good score, he averaged close to twenty
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: points a game, had a long career, some memorable moments in.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: His career in Boston.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: Unfortunately for him, the biggest moment of Paulper's Pierce's career
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: is when he pooped.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: His pants and ended up in a wheelchair.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: That's unfortunate, but that's what When I think of Paul Pierce,
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: I think of him being wheeled away because he had
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: a he had a streak of brown on the back
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: of his white Celtic uniform. But he could score on
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: every level and he let He never led the league
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: in scoring. However, he never averaged thirty points a game.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: He was never if you think of his era, he
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: was never the top scorer. He wasn't the top And
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: you know, someone else had said it other than Paul Pierce.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: He'd said, all right, well listen to that, but you
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: just sound like a douchebag.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: When you're the one saying it. It just doesn't land.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: It sounds like you're trying to rewrite history and you're
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: bummed out because you were left out of the conversation
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: and all that. It comes across like that that person,
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: that guy at the twenty year reunion who says, oh,
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: back when I was in high school, man, you know
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: I could have gone pro.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: I could have gone pro.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: But you know, something happened and that's it. And so
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: I can't wait till Paul Pierce. I think next week
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: he's going to announce that he.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: Actually taught Steph Curry how to shoot.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: And then after that he's going to announce that he
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: went back in a time machine and taught Kareem Abdul
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: Jabbar the skyhook.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: I think that's how that's going to go. All right.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: It is the Ben Mahler Show on Fox and Mark
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: hit that button here We're going.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: To move the third degree right now, go play the
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: third degree.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: It's very exciting here, Mallard to the third degree.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: It's smaller. How about that to the third degree? I
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: just shed that this.
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: Is one big event.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: Gets grilled, all right, she's producing, she's doing updates, and
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: she'll be turning out the lights later.
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: Our friend breed cleaning the bathrooms, cleaning the kitchen.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: Nobody does that on the weekend. Yeah, that does not happen. No, no, no,
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: it does not.
• 15:23
  Speaker 6: Yeah, no, that's disgusting already.
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: So the he are looking for a package consisting of
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: Dalton connect, ruy Ha Chamura, and a first round draft
• 15:33
  Speaker 5: pick for the Lakers in exchange for Andrew Wiggins. Ben,
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: what do you think about Miami asking for a kind
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: of a steep price for Andrew who hasn't been that
• 15:40
  Speaker 5: great since his Golden State days like five years ago.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so if I'm Miami, I get it, Like why
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: not skinny jeans? Rob Palinka does not really seem to
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: know what he's doing there, unless somebody just hands.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: The Lakers players. The Lakers usually end up getting eviscerated.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: Lately in the off season, they've they've had another.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: Bad offseason, they got a guy that doesn't have a
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: good motor in DeAndre Ayton. So I just know why
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: Mike Miami would ask for all that. But if I'm
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: the Lakers, why would you want Andrew Wiggins.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: I don't even think.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: He's all that good, So it doesn't make a lot
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: of sense to me. Like I understand why Miami's doing it,
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: like get rid of the planet. It's like they're fine
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: with the Wiggins is there or not? That heat notn't
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: going to be very good, so why not?
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: Right next, one of the best Clippers to ever put
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: on a uniform, Paul George, said on his podcast that
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: he thinks Michael Jordan being on the NBA broadcast will
• 16:39
  Speaker 5: NBC broadcast will generate interest to the NBA.
• 16:43
  Speaker 6: Ben Do you agree with him?
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: Well, I I have to walk a tight rope here,
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: uh Breed, Uh, I'm gonna go.
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: No.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's gonna make much of an impact
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: because unless Jordan all of a sudden wakes up one
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: morning he decides he's going to be like Charles Barkley,
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: it's just gonna be a lot.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: Of cliches and a lot of boring soundbites from Michael Jordan.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: Now, if I'm wrong, and I hope I am wrong,
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: and Michael Jordan actually finds a personality somewhere in the
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: south of France and shows up there and is dropping Haymakers,
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: that I'm.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: In for it.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: But otherwise no, And it's been so long since Jordan
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: last played. There's already been a generation that has passed
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: since Jordan played. So if you're of a younger age,
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: you're like, well, I've seen highlights of Jordan, but you
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: haven't really heard from him.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: And he's been out of the limelight for a while.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: So I don't think it's going to make that big
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: a difference unless Jordan develops a personality, which is something
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: he's never had.
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: Next, after making history Wednesday night with a three thousand strikeouts,
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: Clayton Kershaw confirmed that he will finish his career in
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: La Ben What do you think that? Do you think
• 17:48
  Speaker 5: Kershall will actually like follow through and retire a Dodger,
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: especially when all that back and forth with no thank
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: you will Well.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: He will haunt me like he has haunted me where
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: the playoffs he will return and there will be some misfortune,
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: some kind of voodoo bugaloo that continues to haunt but
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: in Kershaw and I saw they gave him the mound
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: at Dodgers Stay, and they give him the pitching rubber
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: at Dodger Stadium.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: So like, I think they're trying to get him to
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: go away. But he you know, he's he.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: Will retire as a Dodger. I just think he's just
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: gonna keep pitching. You know, he only has to make
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: like ten to fifteen starts a year, so why not.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: He's like a part time player. All right, there it
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: is Mallard to the third degree. How did we do you?
• 18:35
  Speaker 6: Did you passed?
• 18:36

  Speaker 8: who is your candidate for the greatest picture in our
• 29:45
  Speaker 8: living memory? The very best? I have a candidate. You
• 29:50
  Speaker 8: probably have a candidate.
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, the greatest picture in my lifetime. Now, not
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: the most dominated, but consistently great. I'm going to go
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: with former Dodger Greg Maddox.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm gonna go.
• 30:04
  Speaker 8: All right, Well, my candidate was a longtime player for
• 30:09
  Speaker 8: your favorite franchise. The Houston Astros. And you know you're
• 30:15
  Speaker 8: mister Kirshaw just had his big moment with three thousand strikeouts.
• 30:21
  Speaker 8: My candidate had over fifty seven hundred strikeouts. Do you
• 30:26
  Speaker 8: know who we're talking about here? Man? He also had
• 30:30
  Speaker 8: six now hitters. You're getting warm.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: A big unit there is Nolan Ryan. Oh what about
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: the big unit. He played for the Astros for like
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: a month.
• 30:40
  Speaker 8: Oh no, he was there for many, many years.
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Nolan Ryan was great, But I think of
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: him more as an angel. I don't think of him
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: an Astro. You I do.
• 30:51
  Speaker 8: You are testing my patience?
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: Well, I heard, Dave.
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: I heard a lot from your neighbors there in Houston.
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: They were busting my chops when the Astros were beating
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: the Rockies. But didn't they lose on Thursday? All of
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: a sudden, I didn't hear much from Houston.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: I don't know why. I don't know what happened.
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: Maybe everything's everyone's social media WiFi went down or something
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: like that.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: As possible that happened.
• 31:12
  Speaker 8: They are really a compelish losing to the worst teams
• 31:16
