• 0:17
  Speaker 1: four hours that the team from Arizona Raising Arizona looking
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: for a big bopper to put in their lineup should
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: he land there, Alex Bregman, late of the cheating as
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: one and two one thousand holes, if he ends up
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: with the Diamondbacks, does that do anything for you? Also,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Phillies fans asking if they should pop Champagne over a
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Dallas Garcia.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: What say you?
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: And if this is true, what does it say about
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Francisco Lindor and the Mets culture? Reports saying that Lindor
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: got into a beef with Brandon Nimmo over Donald Trump
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: and that's why brandon Nimo was traded because he pulled
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: for the raw politician and Lindor didn't like it. I'll
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: talk about that Mets culture and more right now. It's
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: a third railbow Man, It's a third rail here. It
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: is our number three, raising Arizona, at least raising the
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: price tag. Welcome. In the beginning of another hour of
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: the Ben mal Show. We are in the air ev
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: rewaere as we make a connection. We do coast to coast,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: border to border and beyond on the vast and prestigiously
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: powerful microphones of FSR emmnating live from the Pancakes.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: We serve up prairie pancakes.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: If you know what I mean, from the world famous
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio studios. And Jerome and Charleston reminds us
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: that this hour made possible by our friends at tire Rag.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: For over forty years, Tyre Rag has been helping customers
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: like Jay Dot working in the dreaded day shift find
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: the right tires for how, what and where they drive.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Fried Daddy approves that message ship fast and freeback by
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: tire installation, tire rack dot Com, the Way Tire Buying Shure,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: and we're back at it. This hour got a nice
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: email from Old Man River who announced that he cannot
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: use his name old Man River anymore. He is changing
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: that up, he says, because of Philip Rivers. Old Man
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Rivers now suddenly the oldest active quarterback. So he's he's saying, well,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: he's going to change it up a little bit. That's
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: a mic in Florida now no longer old Man. I
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: just want to let all the affiliates know that he's
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: changed his nickname. So our lead this hour. Don't tell me,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: but it's the middle of the night. I can talk
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: about whatever I want. I have editorial Control'm gonna talk
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: some baseball. I like baseball. I'm gonna talk baseball. So
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: we'll start out in the Valley of the Sun. The
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Hot Stove League, not much of a hot stove league.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: It's same thing we've seen in recent years. Now he did,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers did, sign Edwin Diaz for the most part
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: of the Oils got the Polar Bear. It doesn't seem
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: like there's a lot of juice to what's going on
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: right now. Well, the snakes are slithering around the cacti
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: in Arizona. And if you didn't see this, perhaps perhaps not.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: We are hearing the Diamondbacks. The Diamondbacks have entered the
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: chat here on third baseman and always dirty Alex Bregman
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: in free agency the third basement there Arizona looking to
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: unload the second baseman could tell Marte they would like
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: to dump him on the Red Sox and then poach
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Alex Bregman, who spent a gap year playing in Boston
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: at Finway because nobody wanted him, so he went to
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Boston on a pillow contract and then decided to opt
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: out go back to market. And so Bregman is very popular.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Apparently with Arizona they were the mystery team. They're no
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: longer the mystery team. So that is a good jumping
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: out point. Let us discuss the question should he land there?
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Should Alex Bregman take his talents to Arizona? Alex Bregman
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: with the Diamondbacks? Does that do anything for you? Knowing
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: I am not a Diamondback fan, and knowing that I
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: am not a fan of the player, I've got scarlet letter,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Amazon resale, and loyalty oath and we will combine all
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: of these things together and we are going to provide
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: absolute top forty hits. Top forty radio. It used to
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: be a big deal back in the day top forty radio.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: So first of all, when I saw this that Bregman
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: is hot to to go to Arizona, first thing, it
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: get me indigestion. That was the first thought. I had.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: This would be like dropping top shelf money on a
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: PlayStation four in a PS five world, like the PlayStation
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: four still works right, it's fun, it's not the latest model,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: it doesn't have all the bells and whistles, and it's
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: you know what year it is and all that.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: This sounds to me though, like Bregman doesn't.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Really want to play in Arizona, and that this was
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: strategically leaked to the useful idiot baseball scribes to try
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: to get more money out of the team he really
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: wants to play for, whether that's to go back to
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: the Red Sox or whether that's to God only knows
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: who else is interested in this cheat, But he didn't
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: want to go to Arizona. If you want to go
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: to Arizona, you don't make it public and just sign
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: the contract. He's trying to squeeze more money. That's the
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: play for Bregnan. He's trying to get more money out
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: of somebody else. And listen, he's dated tech much like
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: that PlayStation four. He's not the newest PlayStation and all that.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Bregman is entering his age thirty two season and the
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: whispers are he's gonna get one hundred and seventy million
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: or more at age thirty two. That is a long
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: term mortgage, long term mortgage for the declining years. You're
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: paying for the decline. And this is not peak cheater
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Alex Bregman. This is not the God's gonna hit thirty
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: home runs for you. And he doesn't bring that razzle dazzle.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: It does not bring that slugging. Is not quite where
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: it was. He's just not a franchise altering player, and
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: we cannot forget that. Wherever he ends up in God's
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: green Earth, Bregman brings his own wardrobe update. He brings
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: a scarlet letter, the cheating astrosh the cheating astros. The
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: residue still sticks. There's some nice resid do do that's
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: still there. Front offices, they treat the player past their
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: athletic prime, like Bregman. They treat them like strawberries. Expired strawberries. Now,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: when you get strawberries, and you get them originally they
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: meant be a little green, but they look nice and
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: bright red shortly after that. And no matter how good
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: those strawberries once were, they're not buying. There's bacteria that
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: starts to grow on the expired strawberry. And if you
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: wait long enough, you'll see some mold and some hair
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: pop up and all that stuff. And here's the thing, Bregman.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: You look at his age. He's at the end of
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: his athletic prime. He's also coming off a season where
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: he dealt with a quad injury, the lower lower half
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: wear and tear of playing third base, the aging infielder.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of red flags, a lot of red flags. Now,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: smart teams know the trap. Now there's two things you do.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: You either pay deferred money so you're not actually paying
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: them for another thirty years or twenty years or whatever.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: That's what the Dodgers do. The other option is to
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: just not bother signing these players because you're you're buying
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: upside down, like you don't want to buy at the
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: top of the market, and you certainly don't want to
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: buy on a diminishing asset, and you're paying for regression.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: That's what you're paying for here. You're not paying for
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: the goosebumps and the tingles and all. That's just the
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: cold malor math of the situation. That it should be
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: a hard pass from everyone because he's a cheating a
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: one thousand and two one thousand hole is what bregmant Is,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: So can you go back to Houston and they brought
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: back that punk Carlos Korea? Can they bring him back?
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: All right? Now? Secondly, the Philadelphia PA we go. The
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Fighting Phills announced they have signed former Rangers outfielder a
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: Dollars Garcia and we're hearing the deals only for one year,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: ten million dollars to go to Philadelphia. Now, two of
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: the biggest goals of the Fighting Pills this offseason would
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: add a right handed power bat and improve the outfield.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: So does this count as a two for one special?
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: The theory is that Garcia coming over from Texas will add
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: protection to Bryce Harper in the middle of that lineup.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: You might remember Dave Dombrowski pointing out that Bryce Harper
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: is no longer an elite player. So the question, some
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: of these Phillies fans are very excited a guy Fats
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: in Philadelphia and a few of our other guys there
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: in the Delaware Valley saying what a sneaky good move
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: this is. So should Philly fans be all giddy here?
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: Should they be popping champagne? Because of the signing of
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: former Texas Rangers outfielder Adallas Garcia.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: What say you right? So this is not Don Perry.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Owen, it is not. This is store brand Selter, which
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: is fine, which is fine. It's got a dented can
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: on it. That's not great. That's not great. And this
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: is the classic Dave Dombrowski value play. This is why
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: buy it on Amazon. I'm just going to go to
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: the Amazon resale and I'm gonna go into there and
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna grab whatever's in the bench, you know, quality
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: used items, open boxed items, maybe missing a charger.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: But you save a lot of money. And sometimes those
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: deals work.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Sometimes those deals pay off for you, and it just
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: works really well. El Bomby as he was known there
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: in Arlington bomb dot com. And he was awesome. He
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: was so good in that twenty twenty three playoff run
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: for the Rangers, that magic carpet ride, which Edin Arlington
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: still smiles about to this day and will smile the
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: rest of his days. Edit Arlington from that Rangers Bomb
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: dot Com run. And to remind you if you've forgotten
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: how good a Dallas Garcia was. He had eight home
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: runs and twenty two runs batter day in in fifteen
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: posts season games, including the World Series.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: That's a sheet coat, is what that was.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: That was insane, and that'll sell a lot of jerseys,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: a lot of jerseys. And you do that in Philadelphia,
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: you put up those numbers in a playoff run for
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Phillies, they'll put your statue right next to
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: the Great Rocky Statue there on the steps, and you'll
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: be invited to the Mummers Parade like Jason Kelsey. However,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: the problem is this, when you take the Instagram filter
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: off the player, you see there's some storm clouds on
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: the horizon, like Garcia is heading into his age thirty
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: three seasons. So again you look at the comps, you're like, well,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: that's pastor athletic prime. Usually you fall off the cliff,
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: You fall off the cliff. He's coming off a season
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: that was so ugly in Texas. How ugly was it?
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: Thanks for asking?
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: It was so ugly that the Texas Rangers isn't one
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: of the franchise heroes. They won their first ever World
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Series and the message from the Rangers was yeah, thanks,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: but no thanks, We're good. We're good on that non tendered,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: non tendered franchise hero, non tendered. That is like warm
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: tapioca pudding that's left in the truck of the car.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: That's what that is.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: One year deal.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: That is a dead do what dead?
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: Give what?
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: It is that the Rangers think he's done. The rest
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: of the league thinks he's cooked. Couldn't get more than
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: a one year contract a Dallas Garcia that's cooked medium well,
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: no pink, no pink, no pink there and Dombrowski now
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: he's banking on the old fairy dust and offseason workouts
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: with his new hitting coach of Dallas Garcia is gonna
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: be working out with his new hitting coach. No, not
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Don Mattingly. The Phillies have hired the great Ponce de Leon.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: They got him from the Marlins, the Fountain of Youth.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: Of course, they'll be taking big gulps from the Fountain
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: of youth and hoping that works out here, the big
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: gulps of hope from the fountain of youth. And these
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: things do happen every once in a while. They called
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: blue moon events, blue moon events. Once in a while,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: once in a blue moon, it happens, right, it happens.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: You're cautiously caffeinated, is what you are. And that's my advice.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: This is like a lottery ticket. Most of the time
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: you lose. Every once in a while it hits. It's
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: not a pension plan. All right. Now, final thought, we
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: go third rail, oh Man, third rail. So to New York.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: We go some new details about the breakup herd round
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: Gotham regarding the New York Metropolitans. And this one is wild.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: When I saw this, I thought of Steven Manhattan because
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: this is this is right in his wheelhouse, Steven Manhattan.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: He calls the show every so often. So New New
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: York sports talk radio legend Mike Francessa, who has been
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: demoted to the podcast world. So Francessa on his fledgling podcast,
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: which he does from his humble abode. Good for him. Uh,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: he claims that nobody else has. This is a Mike
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Francissi report. He's claiming the real reason fan favorite Mets
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: fan favorite Brandon Nimmo was traded is that he and
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: Francisco Lindor could not get along over politics. Political differences
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: led to a trade because they could not agree on
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: President Donald Trump. Say what yeah, all right, so question,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: for the purposes of this male monologue, were going to
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: assume this is accurate So if this is true, what
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: does this say about Francisco Lindor And what does this
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: say about the New York man It's culture, Well, it
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: tells me they are cooked the New York Mets. If
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: this is accurate, the Mets are not running a baseball team.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: They're running a re education camp, is what they're doing,
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: Like seriously, Like, locker rooms are always supposed to be meritocracies,
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: and we kind of work in a locker room here
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: in Radio's kind of how I relate. I ask people
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: from all different backgrounds here and whatnot, and we all
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: have a job to do marginal overnight talk radio. And
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: doesn't matter what you believe in politically. I've worked on
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: TV shows and done radio lunchime work with a lot
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: of looney tones. Okay, I think they're completely nuts with
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: what they believe in, But I don't care. Who cares
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: to think. Whatever you want, don't bother me. You know,
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: it doesn't affect me at all. I live in my
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: own little world and that's that. And you live in
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: your world and that's fine. But we have a job
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: to do. And based on what FRANCESSA was saying, it
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: sounds like Francisco Lindor could not let that go. And
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: your job as a baseball player, it's gonna be why
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: nobody else has this take Your job is to see ball,
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: hit ball. Your job is to catch the ball, and
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: your job is to win the game. You play to
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: win the game. That's the job, period. And instead, the
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: way the story's been relayed here brandon Nimo was essentially,
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: I'll use the language of the day, he was deported,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: not for striking out, not for playing like a stiff
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: with the New York Mets, not for loafing, none of
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: those things. But he didn't vote the right way. He
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: voted the wrong way, according to his teammate, And so
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: they got into it.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: And what's next comrades with the.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: New York Mets. Here are they going to have a
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: loyalty oath before batting practice? You take the loyalty oath?
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: There is that gonna be the case? Like political purity
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: test staple to the scouting report, you can only bring
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: players in that agree politically with Francisco Lindor. It's usually
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: how culture's rot from the inside. And yeah, you don't
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: want team mates if this is true, You want kool
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: aid drinkers, is what you would like there, and you
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: get a fall in line. Brandon Nemo did not fall
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: in line. He didn't nod his head. He should have
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: nodded his head. He'd still be a Met. Don't rock
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: the boat. He rocked the boat. So now he's going
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: to play for the Rangers. Not exactly great leadership by
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: the Mets front office either, right, it's some authoritarian nonsense like, hey,
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: Lindor's got a longer contract, and even though Brandon Nemo's
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: a fan favorite, his ass is gas. We had him
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: out of here. It's a nonsense mixed with sunflower seeds
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: on the floor of the dugout and all that. Now,
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: keep in mind, I am skeptical. I'm skeptical by nature.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: I'm a skeptic on this one because my experience and
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: I for years I was in locker rooms and that
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: was my gig.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: Of course, in those days there was no social media.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: But when I was around athletes of all the professional sports,
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: most of the athletes I dealt with, they're like bubble boys.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: They live in a bubble meaning they don't give a
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: rats ass about who the president is, who's who the
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: local congress person or the senator. They don't care about that.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: They live in a world of private jets and they've
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: got nothing but free time to play video games. They've
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: got their personal trainer, they've got their personal chef, they've
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: got their butler. Whatever they need, it's all taken care
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: of this. So I look at that, and the politics
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: usually isn't in their oxygen, the athletes, and I don't
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: think it's changed today, even in a polarizing political climate.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: But if Francisco Lindor of the Mets, who is aristocrat
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: level rich, mind you signed one of the biggest contracts
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: at the time in baseball history. He's living the gilded life,
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: Francisco Lindor. And is he dividing the Mets clubhouse over
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: ideology then Houston or in this case Gotham or in
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: this case Queen's Flushing. We got a problem. So the Mets,
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: they don't need political harmony. They don't. Hey, Donald Trump
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: will be president for a couple more years and then
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: someone else will be president, and then after that someone
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: else will be president. And that's kind of how that works.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: All right, that's it the Mets need. They're going to
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: shock you. You play to win the game again, you
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: gotta win show some toughness, show some plate discipline, pitch
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: better and go out there and win. As Rob Manford
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: would say, that little piece of metal, that little piece
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: of metal, Just do it. Now. My question is did
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: the Mets front office do a voter registration check on
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: Marcus Simeon, who they got from the Texas Rangers, to
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: make sure that he voted for the right president. Otherwise
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: Francisco Lindor is not going to be happy and he
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: might have to be traded again. So it is the
• 19:51

  Speaker 1: Mike said, or stroking the chicken like courtesy flusher.

  Speaker 7: Oh yeah, No, We'll leave the chicken stroking to Mike
• 25:16
  Speaker 7: the Leprechaun.
• 25:17
  Speaker 8: But uh no, I was thinking. They want him to
• 25:19
  Speaker 8: stop grilling on the sidelines making long.
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: All right, Is that the answer? No, that is not
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: the answer.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: The doctors have ordered Kentucky men's basketball coach Mark Pope
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: to stop screaming at his team. He has damaged his
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: vocal cords. Kentucky sucks this year by Kentucky standards. Doctors
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: told him not to speak over a conversational volume for
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: the rest of the week because he's screwed up his
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: vocal cords. So there you go. Let's go the phones.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: I still need a contestant. Let's go to if you
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: want to play the game coming up here? Too much
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: or not enough? Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox,
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: Mike is in Tucson. Hello Mike, Welcome. Oh I hung
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: up on Where do you go? He's not there. Let's
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: go to Greg and Pennsylvania. Hellout, I thought I hit
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: the button. He's not there. Greg and Pennsylvania was morning.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: Hello Greg, good, good morning, good morning.
• 26:10
  Speaker 9: Testicles and shipping stroking is exactly the reason I'm calling
• 26:14
  Speaker 9: as what I have to listen to from eight am
• 26:17
  Speaker 9: to five pm?
• 26:18
  Speaker 5: What is.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: On today day? I don't know.
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: I don't know what you're listening to.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: I don't want to.
• 26:23
  Speaker 9: When you have like Colin Calter, Dick rights, like Stephen Ahole.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: And well, you know you don't have to.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: Why you don't have to watch any show you don't
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: like it, You're not forcing That's that is true.
• 26:35
  Speaker 9: But obviously then I have no life. So I have
• 26:38
  Speaker 9: taken up the cause of removing the term eye test
• 26:42
  Speaker 9: from the sports talk radio lexicon.
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: Okay, why why? Why is why is that?
• 26:48
  Speaker 9: Why is that go ahead, because basically, the eye test
• 26:51
  Speaker 9: is the equivalent of the feelings over the facts of
• 26:54
  Speaker 9: sports radio talk and the intellectually weak. And this came
• 26:58
  Speaker 9: to a head when I had to listen to people
• 27:01
  Speaker 9: bitch about the Domers and the whole Shador Sanders thing.
• 27:06
  Speaker 9: And it's sad that, you know, the real talk geniuses
• 27:08
  Speaker 9: are on the overnight and like I said, I got
• 27:10
  Speaker 9: to listen to that crap during the day. Yeah, I'm
• 27:13
  Speaker 9: bringing it to you, Ben.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: And of all, right, now I have I have used
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: the phrase I hope you don't hate me. I have
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: used the phrase from time to time. I don't use
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: it very often. Every once in a while I'll mix
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: it into my lexicon. Now, what is acceptable because I
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: do I do watch the game? I how should I use?
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: What kind of using stag? Greg? What would you like
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: me to use instead of eye test?
• 27:32
  Speaker 9: Don't you well, it's not so much what you should use,
• 27:36
  Speaker 9: or you know, you come with me at facts. You know,
• 27:40
  Speaker 9: I have to listen to all the Domers complain about
• 27:42
  Speaker 9: this great one they had and that they got screwed
• 27:45
  Speaker 9: and the eye test.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: This, and they I test that, and I'm all right,
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: so you so you're really what you're complaining about, and
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna put you in the laboratory here what you
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: can I'm gonna workshop this. Okay, you're complaining about talk
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: show hosts that give opinions but don't tell you why
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: you want the Why why do you think that?
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: Not just that I saw it?
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: You you know? Okay?
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: So that okay, I got you.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: All right, And that's a that's a fair point, you know.
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: And I'll let you in on a dirty little secret.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: A lot of these guys don't watch the games and
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: they don't know what's going on. They just have producers
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: that tell them what's going on. So it's kind of
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: part of the deal. Unfortunately, that's the way it works.
• 28:16
  Speaker 9: Yes, well, that's obvious because when you tell me that
• 28:19
  Speaker 9: Notre Dame went on a run, or that she knows
• 28:21
  Speaker 9: Sanders is better than Dylan Gabriel, obviously you have not
• 28:25
  Speaker 9: watched anything or you know nothing, and you're just trying
• 28:27
  Speaker 9: to peep.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: Well, but that the whole the Shugar Sanders thing is
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: he plays well online and they get a lot of
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: traction of that. And so but that's what the I mean,
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: that is kind of the job though they got to
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: get people to watch those shows. And you know, one
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: of my favorite memories was years ago. I was in
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: the in the Laker locker room. They got named Dwight Howard,
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: and Dwight was all upset. He was very upset because
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: Steven A and Skip Bayless had ripped him on their
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: show that did. They were working together ESPN, and so
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: buddy of mine, TJ. Simers, was a columnist. He died
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: last year, but tj uh was it this year? I
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: don't know.
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: I think it was this year. I don't know the
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: years run together.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: Anyway, The point is he went up to Dwight and said, Dwight,
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: no one watches that show like and the ratings on
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: first take are terrible, like no one's watching, and Dwight
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: couldn't wrap his head around it. But but yet they're
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: trying to get people to watch. And so I understand
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: what you're saying, Greg, and that's a fair point.
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: And I'm right there with that.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: I love that you you turn to the Overnight Show,
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: Greg all night, you listen to this crap unbelievable. It's great.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 29:26
  Speaker 9: Let's go.
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go. Mike and Tucson on
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: his back. I apologize, Mike. I don't know what happened.
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: I hit the thing of a jig and the dew
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: hickey blew up.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: I don't know what happened.
• 29:35
  Speaker 8: Gremlin.
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: I think it's the gremlins.
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: I don't go into the studio anymore. I work from home.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: Why would I go in?
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: It's okay, it's okay to shout out.
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: How's your wife doing?
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: By the way, the most famous call Mike made his
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: wife was in the hospital and he passed the phone
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: to her and what a great husband that was. My God,

  Speaker 1: JT. The Wingman writes in from just outside Knoxville, Tennessee,

  Speaker 1: this weekend, and it's a jacket required event. Should I

• 40:00
  Speaker 8: The Wingman ooh, with a jacket event? Well, if you
• 40:02
  Speaker 8: can tie a bow tie.
• 40:03
  Speaker 7: I love a good bow tie and they are much
• 40:06
  Speaker 7: harder to tie though, So yeah, I would.
• 40:08
  Speaker 8: Go that direction.

  Speaker 2: Here's what I would say. And I've met JT.
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: The Wingman. He's been with many of these events that
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: we've done. He's a very nice man. I always like
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: to hang out. He's a good guy and he's from Wisconsin.
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: I feel like the bow tie is a spotlight on
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: you as a man because most people don't wear both. Yes,
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: So if you want to not get any extra attention,
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: just wear a regular tie. The bow tie is it's
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: an attention getter because most people don't wear bow ties right.
• 40:34
  Speaker 8: And then even beyond that is the bulow tie.
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: Yes, the bolo tie that's like Philip Rivers.
• 40:39
  Speaker 8: Tie, much easier to put on it is, but definitely
• 40:42
  Speaker 8: a statement piece.
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: It is a statement piece for sure. And it's like,
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: are you a cowboy?

• 40:58
  Speaker 1: her a little something and she's irritated with me. I
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: can't win here. Yeah, Well, then he says, should I
• 41:04
