2:12
Speaker 2: back at it and I love this story. I absolutely
2:15
Speaker 2: love this story from Philadelphia, and it involves someone we
2:21
Speaker 2: talk a lot about on this show, and we talked
2:24
Speaker 2: about this person for many many years. We are in
2:26
Speaker 2: the doghouse with this sport because of this particular person.
2:32
Speaker 2: But we'll go to the locker room drama ol rama
2:37
Speaker 2: in the Delaware Valley. As we have learned through various
2:42
Speaker 2: reports that the Philadelphia Phillies YouTube kid, he was originally
2:47
Speaker 2: the YouTube kid. I remember seeing clips on the Internet
2:50
Speaker 2: of this guy when he was in high school in Vegas.
2:52
Speaker 2: But Bryce Harper stood nose to news, belly to belly
2:57
Speaker 2: with the clown commissioner of Major League Baseball, Rob Manfraud.
3:02
Speaker 2: Now this is during a meeting between the commissioner of
3:06
Speaker 2: Major League Baseball, that would be Manfraud and the team
3:09
Speaker 2: last week. Now, if you didn't see this or hear
3:12
Speaker 2: about it, maybe you missed it. We're told that Bryce
3:16
Speaker 2: Harper ended up getting in the face of Rob Manford
3:20
Speaker 2: and telling him to get the f out. It's a
3:22
Speaker 2: Peter to saf he said the forward. He did not
3:25
Speaker 2: say f he said the He's a grown up. He
3:28
Speaker 2: said the foulk. We're on radio after I got kids work.
3:31
Speaker 2: He said, get the f out of our clubhouse. He said,
3:35
Speaker 2: if Manford wanted to talk about the implication of a
3:38
Speaker 2: salary cap ooh the boogeyman. Now that confrontation came in
3:45
Speaker 2: a meeting. We are told that the slimy commissioner of
3:48
Speaker 2: Major League Baseball is going around trying to improve communication
3:52
Speaker 2: relationships with every team and all the players. And the
3:56
Speaker 2: meeting lasted an hour. Must have been very born. My god,
4:01
Speaker 2: must have that been boring. Anyway, they talked for an hour.
4:04
Speaker 2: Manford never said the words salary cap in quotes. You
4:10
Speaker 2: never said that the discussion was about the economics, and
4:14
Speaker 2: that is what raised the dander of one Bryce Harper,
4:18
Speaker 2: who loves the Philly fanatic and I love the Philly fanatics,
4:21
Speaker 2: so I have that in common with Bryce Harper. So
4:23
Speaker 2: let us discuss the question. Philly star a multi time MVP,
4:29
Speaker 2: Bryce Harper going eye to eye mono a mono with
4:35
Speaker 2: Commissioner Rob Manford over the salary cap. Who's side of
4:39
Speaker 2: you on? I am in the side. Now, I'm gonna
4:43
Speaker 2: tell you who I think you know who side I'm on.
4:44
Speaker 2: I've got dog Whistle, art of the Covenant and sopranos,
4:49
Speaker 2: and we'll put all these things together and we're gonna
4:52
Speaker 2: make the Gobba gool is what we're gonna make. We're
4:55
Speaker 2: gonna make the Gobba ghool, all right, So hey, listen,
4:57
Speaker 2: I am on the side of truth, justice and the
5:00
Speaker 2: sports talk way. Bryce Harper, Here we go, Price, Here
5:04
Speaker 2: we go. Yeah, come on, now, I love it. I
5:07
Speaker 2: love the visual in the cartoon bubble over my head.
5:11
Speaker 2: It's great. That little clown weasel, your little weasel, Rob Manford, Right,
5:17
Speaker 2: little clown Commissioner Major League Baseball. There he goes down,
5:21
Speaker 2: you know, sashchets his way into the Phillies clubhouse, saying,
5:24
Speaker 2: oh man, I'm just gonna go out there and blow
5:26
Speaker 2: smoke in that clubhouse and boom boom boom boom boom boom,
5:33
Speaker 2: nose to nose with Bryce Harper. So good, so good, Bravo, Encore, Encore.
5:41
Speaker 2: I say, someone had to say, now, I love that
5:45
Speaker 2: it's Bryce Harper. Bryce Harper doesn't need to do this.
5:47
Speaker 2: He's already got his money. He's already got the three
5:50
Speaker 2: hundred million dollar contract. Why is he what's he care?
5:55
Speaker 2: He got his right. Normally, the way this works is
5:59
Speaker 2: if you get the bag, you don't care about anyone else.
6:02
Speaker 2: You got yours, go to each their own, screw everyone else, right,
6:07
Speaker 2: you got paid. That's it. Do you know how rare
6:10
Speaker 2: it is that someone gets that kind of wealth to
6:14
Speaker 2: play baseball and is still out there screaming and barking
6:18
Speaker 2: and saying, no, we're not doing a salary cap. Normally,
6:22
Speaker 2: you know this, When you get the bag, you stop
6:24
Speaker 2: caring about the other players. Anyone who understands basic math,
6:28
Speaker 2: by the way, not just malar math. Basic math, understands
6:33
Speaker 2: the cap is cramp like, no one that knows economics
6:38
Speaker 2: wants the salary cap in baseball. It's the worst thing
6:40
Speaker 2: in the world. Right, you're just announcing you're an idiot
6:44
Speaker 2: if you say I want a salary cap, I want
6:46
Speaker 2: the owners to make more money. That's what you're saying.
6:48
Speaker 2: You're moron, your dummy, is what you're saying. The salary
6:52
Speaker 2: cap talk is always a dog whistle, all right, it's
6:56
Speaker 2: a dog whistle for how can we keep salaries down
6:59
Speaker 2: from the ownership side, but yet convinced dumb people, the fans,
7:04
Speaker 2: the idiots, that we're doing the right thing for competitive bounds.
7:07
Speaker 2: You realize, with no salary cap, baseball has more of
7:10
Speaker 2: a competitive bounce than any of those sports that have
7:12
Speaker 2: salary caps. Hello, what does that say? What? The teams
7:17
Speaker 2: that actually try end up winning have success in baseball.
7:21
Speaker 2: The problem is not the salarycap. The problem is the
7:24
Speaker 2: teams that don't give a crap about winning Sacramento or
7:28
Speaker 2: sacrament of the A is that scumbag John Fisher, the
7:31
Speaker 2: Marlins in Miami, the Pirates, teams like that. That's the problem.
7:36
Speaker 2: You can win the Tampa Bay. They don't spend any
7:39
Speaker 2: real money playing a minor league ballpark now because the
7:41
Speaker 2: hurricane took out of their stadium. And I know they're
7:43
Speaker 2: having the greatest year, but considering the amount of money
7:47
Speaker 2: they spend, they find ways. The Milwaukee Brewers have been
7:51
Speaker 2: wonderful in recent years, a consistent playoff contender or playoff
7:56
Speaker 2: team over the last decade or so. They don't spend
7:59
Speaker 2: a ton of mone. It can be done right, and
8:03
Speaker 2: you're not. Really the issue is like teams that don't
8:06
Speaker 2: want to win, that's the problem. It's not the salarycap.
8:09
Speaker 2: The salary CAP's not gonna fix anything in terms of
8:13
Speaker 2: whoa competitive bounds. You already have that right. And the
8:19
Speaker 2: dirty little secret in Major League baseball is that you
8:23
Speaker 2: look around and you see that the teams that actually
8:27
Speaker 2: put an effort into it generally find some success. But
8:31
Speaker 2: you can make a lot of money and have a
8:34
Speaker 2: baseball team that is just a golden goose without even
8:39
Speaker 2: There's like seven people that go to Marlins games, and
8:42
Speaker 2: I know one of them, Marlin's man, And even he
8:45
Speaker 2: doesn't go to many Marlins games, and he lives in Miami,
8:48
Speaker 2: but he'd rather travel around the United States and see
8:50
Speaker 2: games in other stadiums that don't involve the Marlins because
8:54
Speaker 2: the Marlins blow. And yet the Marlins make money. And
8:58
Speaker 2: you know, the Athletics left all they made money in Oakland.
9:01
Speaker 2: Nobody went to the games in Oakland. Nobody's you know,
9:03
Speaker 2: the Sacramento Minor League ballpark, it's not anyone there. They're
9:06
Speaker 2: making money because you get the TV money, you get
9:10
Speaker 2: the national revenue, and in addition, you get the teams
9:14
Speaker 2: that spend a lot, like the Dodgers and the Mets
9:17
Speaker 2: and teams like that. They cut your check for not
9:20
Speaker 2: even trying. Right, you can draw seven hundred and seven thousand,
9:24
Speaker 2: whatef doesn't matter. Put a crap product, garbage at first base,
9:28
Speaker 2: trash at second, feces at shortstop, and do do it
9:32
Speaker 2: third and you will make money. You will absolutely make money.
9:36
Speaker 2: And while teams that try to win, I think the Dodgers,
9:40
Speaker 2: the Mets, the Yankees, teams like that, they have to
9:43
Speaker 2: pay a penalty for these other teams and then they
9:46
Speaker 2: just pocket the money. That's the dirty little secret in baseball.
9:49
Speaker 2: I'm Rob Manford. He's never going to address that. Why
9:52
Speaker 2: would he? All right, why would he?
9:54
Speaker 1: So?
9:54
Speaker 2: I love the fact that Bryce Harper got right in
9:58
Speaker 2: the face of Rob Manford just threw it down right
10:01
Speaker 2: and should have tossed him right out there on Broad
10:03
Speaker 2: Street is what he should have done. Now, the second
10:06
Speaker 2: page on this why is the salary cap chatter which
10:10
Speaker 2: is being cranked up? The labor negotiations will take place
10:13
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty six, so it's not that far away
10:17
Speaker 2: the end of the twenty twenty six season, which means
10:19
Speaker 2: they could be there could be a workstoppas prior to that.
10:22
Speaker 2: Many in baseball are preparing for the nuclear winter. But
10:27
Speaker 2: why is this salary cab the chatter in Major League
10:31
Speaker 2: Baseball ultimately a nothing burger. Let me explain this to
10:35
Speaker 2: you like you're five years old. The reason that this
10:39
Speaker 2: is a nothing burger. In order for there to be
10:42
Speaker 2: a serahcab, you would have to have support of the players.
10:45
Speaker 2: There is not support of the players. But even if
10:47
Speaker 2: you could get support of the players, in order for
10:50
Speaker 2: this to realistically work, you would have to do something
10:52
Speaker 2: that you will not do. Something you cannot do, something
10:56
Speaker 2: that you will not do. No matter what happens, you
10:58
Speaker 2: won't do it. What is that If you want to
11:01
Speaker 2: have an honest conversation about a salary cap in Major
11:04
Speaker 2: League Baseball. The owners would have to open the bucks.
11:08
Speaker 2: They'd have to open the bucks, the bean counters. That's
11:12
Speaker 2: never gonna happen, never, ever, ever, never. And here's why,
11:17
Speaker 2: the reason why, and that most of us know this.
11:20
Speaker 2: They are every team in baseball is making a profit. Now,
11:23
Speaker 2: not every team makes a big profit, not every team
11:25
Speaker 2: makes a big profit, but they're making money, boat loads
11:28
Speaker 2: of money in Major League Baseball. And these owners who
11:32
Speaker 2: are making money hand over fist while at the same
11:34
Speaker 2: time pretending like they're bleeding cash and Maron's oh, these
11:38
Speaker 2: poor teams are losing money. No they're not dummy, No
11:42
Speaker 2: they're not right. And the books are the holy grip.
11:46
Speaker 2: I've heard some stuff that I'm not allowed to say
11:48
Speaker 2: because I don't want to get in trouble with certain people.
11:50
Speaker 2: But I've heard things over the years involving the books
11:53
Speaker 2: and the lengths that Major League Baseball has gone to
11:56
Speaker 2: to make sure the financials don't get out. Some mind
12:00
Speaker 2: blowing things have passed through my head from people who
12:03
Speaker 2: work in baseball, the efforts that they have gone to
12:06
Speaker 2: avoid opening the books. Right, Like, imagine if you peaked
12:09
Speaker 2: inside John Fisher's financials and realized the Athletics didn't have
12:13
Speaker 2: to leave Oakland. He was making a lot of money.
12:16
Speaker 2: He just wants to make more money. And so it's
12:18
Speaker 2: that whole thing. Right, You're more likely to see the
12:21
Speaker 2: arc of the covenant than you are the financials of
12:24
Speaker 2: these these owners that cry they don't have any money.
12:28
Speaker 2: They treat the financials in baseball like the nuclear launch codes. Okay,
12:35
Speaker 2: that's what they treat it like. And it is such
12:37
Speaker 2: a scam. It is such a scam. We need a
12:41
Speaker 2: cap for parody. We want to have every tream. How
12:45
Speaker 2: about transformin. It reminds me of that used car salesman
12:47
Speaker 2: Bud Selik was going around in the early two thousands,
12:51
Speaker 2: in the nineties and saying, well, we need new stadiums
12:54
Speaker 2: in Pittsburgh and Cincinnati so we can have good teams
12:58
Speaker 2: on the field. These teams can win the World Series
13:01
Speaker 2: if they get those stadiums. They built new stadiums. Guess what,
13:03
Speaker 2: spoiler alert. The teams blow chunks in Pittsburgh and Cincinnati. Right,
13:08
Speaker 2: they suck. And they were taught, all you need is
13:11
Speaker 2: a new stadium. This is the magic the magic pill.
13:16
Speaker 2: That's all you need, right, That's all you need. And
13:19
Speaker 2: so come on, it's nonsense. You don't have it. You
13:21
Speaker 2: don't have it right now, and yet more teams if
13:24
Speaker 2: you try, If the Reds and Pirates actually tried, they
13:27
Speaker 2: would actually find a way to make the postseason. And
13:30
Speaker 2: we know in baseball just making the postseasons all you
13:32
Speaker 2: have to do. It's one of those things. It's not
13:34
Speaker 2: like basketball where or even football where if you're like
13:37
Speaker 2: a one or two seed you have a very good
13:39
Speaker 2: chance of going to the NBA Finals, to the super Bowl.
13:42
Speaker 2: In baseball it doesn't work that way. But again, it
13:45
Speaker 2: all goes back. You're not going to open the books.
13:47
Speaker 2: So no matter how much you said, we need to
13:48
Speaker 2: sell recap and you try to get the dumb fans
13:50
Speaker 2: behind the morons, all right, people with IQs blow thirty
13:54
Speaker 2: and you say, okay, it doesn't matter. Right, they're sitting
13:58
Speaker 2: on gold mines, these owners and crying poverty. Now, I
14:01
Speaker 2: don't doubt that Scott Boris was behind this leak of
14:05
Speaker 2: the Bryce Harper story that Scott my opinion. Can't sue
14:08
Speaker 2: me for my opinion that Scott Boris and his team
14:11
Speaker 2: leaked that story, because why would Major League Baseball leak
14:14
Speaker 2: a story about Rob Manford getting into a confrontation with
14:18
Speaker 2: one of the star players in baseball would never do that,
14:21
Speaker 2: So it had to come from Bryce Harper's camp, and
14:24
Speaker 2: Scott Boris is his guy, So it makes a lot
14:26
Speaker 2: of sense. But look at everything. I mean, they make
14:29
Speaker 2: so much money in baseball, owning the stadium, the parking lots,
14:35
Speaker 2: A lot of these teams have their own TV channels.
14:38
Speaker 2: They've monetized everything. Remember, I went to Wrigley Field when
14:42
Speaker 2: I was doing stuff in another life, when I did
14:44
Speaker 2: stuff with the Dodgers. We went there in the nineties
14:46
Speaker 2: and it was still had the charm of the old
14:50
Speaker 2: Wrigley Field the way it had always been. I went
14:52
Speaker 2: there a couple of years ago and it was like
14:54
Speaker 2: downtown Disney. The Cubs had bought all the property around
14:58
Speaker 2: wrigley Field ownership and they had put their own branding
15:02
Speaker 2: on everything and all that, and so it was a
15:03
Speaker 2: much different experience than it had been in the mom
15:06
Speaker 2: and pop days. Now final thought, so after the Bryce
15:10
Speaker 2: Harper Rob Manford confrontation took place. After that, a former
15:17
Speaker 2: Big league player and now turned gas bag and schill
15:21
Speaker 2: from Major League Baseball, Mark de Rosa, who works for
15:25
Speaker 2: Major League Baseball. According to a story on The Athletic
15:30
Speaker 2: buried behind a paywall, the Old Gray Lady. The New
15:34
Speaker 2: York Times owns the Athletic anyway, Mark de Rosa, I
15:37
Speaker 2: was reading this story earlier. I just saw it. So
15:40
Speaker 2: the story says that he warned. Mark de Rosa warned
15:44
Speaker 2: the Philadelphia Phillies players of the commissioner's power. He warned them. Now,
15:52
Speaker 2: this was taken as a threat, according to the way
15:56
Speaker 2: the story was reported by Evan Drelik, who I briefly
15:59
Speaker 2: did a radio show with years ago. So is that
16:02
Speaker 2: how it sounds to you? Mark de ross According to
16:04
Speaker 2: this story, Mark de Rosa, who works for MLB, he
16:08
Speaker 2: warned the players that essentially they're messing with the wrong guy.
16:13
Speaker 2: You're messing with Robmanford. What are you doing? All right?
16:17
Speaker 2: So the answer to this, how does Yes, it sounds
16:20
Speaker 2: like a threat. I would absolutely take that as a threat.
16:23
Speaker 2: This is Sopranos style, is what it is. It's organized
16:26
Speaker 2: baseball crime. If you will, Manford is the mob boss.
16:31
Speaker 2: How long have we talked about Rob Manford essentially being
16:33
Speaker 2: a mob boss of organized baseball? Right? And there you've
16:37
Speaker 2: got Mark de Rosa, Where is he at? Here. So
16:39
Speaker 2: you've got Mark de Rosa, who played a Major League
16:43
Speaker 2: baseball career. Now he works from Major League Baseball. He's
16:46
Speaker 2: the conciliary, right, He's the he's the fixer, he's the
16:49
Speaker 2: whisper in this right, and he's he goes in there,
16:52
Speaker 2: he delivers the message for the mob. Boss is what
16:55
Speaker 2: he does. And he gets his hands dirty and all that,
16:59
Speaker 2: but not too dirty. Right, Let's not forget who we're
17:01
Speaker 2: dealing with here, a right, and what kind of power
17:04
Speaker 2: Rob Manford has. This is the same Rob Manford, If
17:07
Speaker 2: I'm wrong, correct me, who shielded the cheating Astros after
17:14
Speaker 2: the biggest cheating scandal in modern times. A team cheated
17:19
Speaker 2: in the World Series, not just to get to the
17:23
Speaker 2: World Chairs. In the World Chairs. It was in the
17:25
Speaker 2: MLB video highlighting the World Series. And what did Rob
17:29
Speaker 2: Manford do? He let the players walk free? Al Boovey,
17:33
Speaker 2: that punk Bregman. Now with the Red Sox Springer, there's
17:37
Speaker 2: still a few left. He's in Toronto. I let him
17:40
Speaker 2: all walk free. And why is that? There's a theory
17:43
Speaker 2: that baseball needed the business partners in Houston to be happy,
17:47
Speaker 2: and they would have been upset if those guys had
17:49
Speaker 2: been suspended. There's one theory that's out there. So if
17:53
Speaker 2: Manford likes you, if he likes you, he'll protect you
17:57
Speaker 2: like family, just like a good mob movie, right, your family.
18:03
Speaker 2: Now if you cross him, what happens if you're crossing
18:06
Speaker 2: Let's see here. Oh, I have an example. Trevor Bauer.
18:10
Speaker 2: Remember Trevor Bauer, Cy Young winning pitcher, Trevor Bauer. Yeah,
18:14
Speaker 2: Trevor Bauer, who I think right now is sipping some
18:17
Speaker 2: saki in Japan rather than pitching in Major League Baseball.
18:21
Speaker 2: When starting pitching blows Rob Manford commissioner. Now, technically Bauer
18:26
Speaker 2: is allowed back, but he Bauer did something you're not
18:29
Speaker 2: supposed to do. He trashed Trevor. Trevor r trashed Rob
18:33
Speaker 2: Manford every chance he got. So now he's in Japan,
18:37
Speaker 2: he's pitching on dusty mounds in Mexico. He's probably trying
18:40
Speaker 2: to get a work visa to pitch in Afghanistan at
18:42
Speaker 2: this particular point. And that's because he messed with Rob Manford.
18:47
Speaker 2: No one will touch him because Manford doesn't want him
18:49
Speaker 2: in baseball. That's the theory, right, and so Manford plays favorites.
18:53
Speaker 2: And as far as this other guy DeRosa. He doesn't
18:56
Speaker 2: work for the players anymore. He's a former player. He's
18:59
Speaker 2: on the payroll for Major League Baseball, all right. He's
19:02
Speaker 2: sitting there at the MLB Network commentating and apparently giving
19:08
Speaker 2: friendly warnings. Wink wink, nod nod, like he's reading some
19:12
Speaker 2: kind of bedtime story. While the message is rather loud
19:16
Speaker 2: and clear. I think the message is rather loud and
19:18
Speaker 2: clear here that you don't talk back to the boss
19:22
Speaker 2: where the boss will get you. Right, you'll be sleeping
19:24
Speaker 2: with the baseballs if you talk to the boss that
19:28
Speaker 2: strikes on. We can still, we can still manipulate the
19:30
Speaker 2: strikes on. We can. You know, next year we can't
19:32
Speaker 2: do it. But this year we can still manipulate it.
19:34
Speaker 2: You know, fifty to fifty calls suddenly the empires might
19:37
Speaker 2: be going going away from Bryce Harper. You're not gonna
19:40
Speaker 2: get those calls anymore, right, just saying you come at
19:43
Speaker 2: the King, You come at the King, and they say
19:47
Speaker 2: your best not miss it is the Ben Malor Show.
19:50
Speaker 2: What do you think about all that? We'll take your thoughts.
19:52
Speaker 2: Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox is the number
19:57
Speaker 2: eight seven seven nine nine six six three six, and
20:00
Speaker 2: also on X at Ben Mahler. If you'd like to
20:04
Speaker 2: be part of the program, we'll talk a lot about
20:07
Speaker 2: this sort. It's a good story. Got one of the
20:10
Speaker 2: highest paid people in baseball, Bryce Harper going after Rob
20:13
Speaker 2: manfor giving him a dirty word. Dirty word and Rob
20:18
Speaker 2: Manford lives in a bubble there. This guy, you know,
20:21
Speaker 2: he is a labor lawyer that was hired in a
20:24
Speaker 2: labor negotiation as outside council and he just never left.
20:28
Speaker 2: And he rows up the ranks to become the commissioner
20:31
Speaker 2: of Major League Baseball and has been poop pooing and
20:35
Speaker 2: spitting loogi's all over the game ever since. Then eight
20:38
Speaker 2: seven seven ninety nine on Fox. We love new voices.
20:42
Speaker 2: We don't need the same seven people calling, although they
20:44
Speaker 2: probably will. You can avoid them calling for a little
20:47
Speaker 2: bit by stonewalling them at eight seven seven ninety nine
20:50
Speaker 2: on Fox. Also on X at Ben Mahler, we'll talk
20:53
Speaker 2: some other things as well, including is John Gruden returning
20:58
Speaker 2: to coach? Could John Gruden be back the old Raider
21:02
Speaker 2: coach from back in the day. We'll get to all
21:03
Speaker 2: that and we will do it next.

Speaker 2: a Brocco fan coming up later this hour, the who
23:07
Speaker 2: Am I? Game? But right now back to it. We
23:09
Speaker 2: go all right back to it, and we'd like to
23:14
Speaker 2: announce all the affiliates. So in the we never really break.
23:19
Speaker 2: But there was a pause and my favorite part of
23:21
Speaker 2: the show is the commercials. I love the commercials. I
23:24
Speaker 2: want more commercials. I tell management to play more commercials.
23:28
Speaker 2: So I went out of the main studio. I went
23:32
Speaker 2: out the door. There's a big bank vault door here.
23:34
Speaker 2: I went down a couple of steps and then I
23:37
Speaker 2: turned left and then I went down the hall. And
23:40
Speaker 2: I had two things on my agenda. So I went
23:42
Speaker 2: down the hall. I went past the little production studio
23:45
Speaker 2: and no one's there this ghost town here at night now.
23:49
Speaker 2: So I walked by there, and there's two doors, and
23:50
Speaker 2: so I walked by both. So then I went to
23:52
Speaker 2: the bathroom, which is on the right. So I went
23:54
Speaker 2: to the bathroom and then I washed my hands, and
23:56
Speaker 2: then I came out of the bathroom and then I
24:00
Speaker 2: I tried to fill up my cup with water, and uh,
24:04
Speaker 2: and was grabbed the water. Grabbed the cup and go
24:06
Speaker 2: fill it up. And so as I was grabbing it,
24:10
Speaker 2: the cup fell and there is now water all over
24:15
Speaker 2: the U all over. I was wondering what that calamity
24:18
Speaker 2: out there was. Yes, yes, there was a loud thump
24:22
Speaker 2: and my delicious ice water, which I love so much,
24:26
Speaker 2: and just completely gone. The worst part is we don't
24:29
Speaker 2: have a mop during the nighttime. We only paper towels. Yeah,
24:34
Speaker 2: and uh, there's cameras all over this place, so I'm
24:36
Speaker 2: sure it's recorded. Somebody can go back and look at it. Well,
24:40
Speaker 2: it's just water. It's a lot of water. I'm gonna
24:45
Speaker 2: I'm I mean here in a second, it's a lot
24:50
Speaker 2: of water. It's on the carpet though, so it's not
24:53
Speaker 2: it's on the carpet. It And uh, yeah, I mean
24:57
Speaker 2: I think we're the only ones here. There's no one
24:59
Speaker 2: really else in the building, and if someone else is
25:01
Speaker 2: in the building, we're going to get in trouble. So
25:04
Speaker 2: I think we're okay. I literally had no time. Just
25:08
Speaker 2: right moments before Bill Miller started talking, all of a
25:11
Speaker 2: sudden there was this major calamity, which is quite quite unfortunate.
25:17
Speaker 2: So I'd like to have a moment of sounds for
25:19
Speaker 2: my cup of water that we lost. It was a
25:21
Speaker 2: good cup of water. It would have helped me out
25:23
Speaker 2: a lot. But unfortunately that cup of water has bit
25:26
Speaker 2: the dust and will never be had again. So there
25:30
Speaker 2: is that. Anyway, we began this hour ranting about Rob
25:34
Speaker 2: Manford and Bryce Harper having there back and forth as
25:38
Speaker 2: we yap away here and ferg Dog says the way
25:42
Speaker 2: Bryce Harper stood up to Rob Manford reminds me a
25:44
Speaker 2: lot of you. Ben. I remember when you cussed out
25:47
Speaker 2: Don Martin after he removed the popcorn machine from fsr's
25:51
Speaker 2: break room. I was very brave of you. I was
25:55
Speaker 2: not Don Martin. That was somebody else. But we used
25:57
Speaker 2: to have a boss here that would not allow popcorn.
26:00
Speaker 2: That was the one rule they had. Who it doesn't
26:02
Speaker 2: work here anymore. I get it, though, because if you
26:04
Speaker 2: burn pops microwave, its stained. That's why he would not
26:08
Speaker 2: allow popcorn. And everyone said the greatest boss ever but
26:11
Speaker 2: did not like popcorn. Late Night Drug tester says, I
26:13
Speaker 2: stand with Bryce Harper and the players. If he has
26:16
Speaker 2: time in the off season, could he talk to my
26:19
Speaker 2: bosses and see if my paychecks can get off the
26:22
Speaker 2: salary cap for hey, I'm right there with you. I
26:25
Speaker 2: don't understand people that want a salary cap. I think
26:28
Speaker 2: there's a lot of dumb people out there. That's why
26:30
Speaker 2: it is. I just don't get it. I just don't understand.
26:34
Speaker 2: King Rory writes and says the brewers owner is so cheap?
26:37
Speaker 2: How chimp is he? He was caught stealing sand for
26:40
Speaker 2: his own California house. I remember that story. If he
26:44
Speaker 2: was they needed Sandy stole it. If he doesn't want
26:47
Speaker 2: to buy sand, I don't expect him to open up
26:49
Speaker 2: the check book for the big name players. Yet, thanks
26:53
Speaker 2: to the farm system and great coaching, the Brewers find
26:56
Speaker 2: a way to win. Stuck in Sacramento, rights In and
27:00
Speaker 2: says a magical A plus on the Mallard monologue, Rob
27:04
Speaker 2: manfraud was lucky it was Bryce Harper in his face.
27:08
Speaker 2: If it were me and he was at the Sacramento
27:11
Speaker 2: Grade School ballpark, I'd pay homeless people on crack to
27:16
Speaker 2: pin the pos if you know what I mean. Commish
27:21
Speaker 2: down while some bum gives him a Sacramento A's tattoo
27:25
Speaker 2: on his neck. All right, Very nice, Chip and the
27:29
Speaker 2: Q says A plus on the Malta of monologue. Someone
27:31
Speaker 2: claim the Arc of the Covenant is located in an
27:36
Speaker 2: Ethiopian church? Is that right? Is there really okay? Brock writes,
27:43
Speaker 2: In says another great night here on the Ben Mather Show,
27:46
Speaker 2: and uh says Dion Sanders seems like he's doing all right.
27:50
Speaker 2: I saw that the Big Review revealed the Dion had cancer,
27:54
Speaker 2: says Aaron Rodgers is just gonna suck it up from
27:58
Speaker 2: Terry Bradshaw. I think he's coming on last night show.
28:01
Speaker 2: We've moved on, Brock. That's like we're doing a lot
28:03
Speaker 2: of you're doing that Aaron Rodgers thing was last night.
28:06
Speaker 2: So with that, all right, what else do we have.
28:08
Speaker 2: Let's go to the phone. So let's say hello, Ja Dominic.
28:10
Speaker 2: Who's in Seen City? And Dominic is next? What's going on? Dominic? Welcome,
28:15
Speaker 2: you're on Fox.
28:17
Speaker 1: How's it going?
28:18
Speaker 2: Welcome? What's going on? Talk to.
28:21
Speaker 1: It's a little bit about what you were talking with.
28:23
Speaker 1: These players, everybody's making it out. Players are the bad guys,
28:27
Speaker 1: they're the greedy ones. How about these owners. Guy out
28:31
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh, I remember seeing something hasn't given a multi
28:34
Speaker 1: year contract in about ten years.
28:38
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, no, yeah, yeah, And they have a beautiful
28:40
Speaker 2: ballpark in Pittsburgh. It's unbelievable, it's awesome. And the teams blows.
28:44
Speaker 2: But yeah, no, listen, these teams are making money they
28:48
Speaker 2: won't talk about and I'd like to think the majority
28:52
Speaker 2: are on the side every business. I'm not saying you
28:54
Speaker 2: should just frivolously spend money. Everyone's got a budget, right,
28:58
Speaker 2: Dominic like, whatever you do, whether your mom and pop
29:01
Speaker 2: pizza Rea or a major league baseball team, you have
29:03
Speaker 2: a budget. But you shouldn't have a hardline budget and
29:06
Speaker 2: it shouldn't be a salary cap. You don't need it.
29:09
Speaker 2: It's unnecessary.
29:11
Speaker 1: And then what it kind of sucks about baseball is
29:13
Speaker 1: you get these teams that you said about Milwaukee. They
29:16
Speaker 1: don't spend, they don't spend, but they produce every year.
29:19
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay doesn't spend, doesn't spend. They got these guys
29:21
Speaker 1: coming up every year that's end up trading off in
29:25
Speaker 1: great paintings. So yeah, because they gets the way when
29:28
Speaker 1: not spending. And then they say, oh, well look at
29:30
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay, look at Milwaukee's. It's not that they're not spending.
29:33
Speaker 1: It's that they have some coaches, they have a good
29:35
Speaker 1: box to send, they have the right brains in place
29:38
Speaker 1: to get away with it.
29:39
Speaker 2: Well, that's true. And the other thing that annoys me,
29:41
Speaker 2: Dominic is have you noticed teams like the Red Sox
29:44
Speaker 2: and the Dodgers try to copy Tampa Bay and some
29:47
Speaker 2: of these other teams what they're doing. Like the Dodgers
29:50
Speaker 2: they just flat out hired the guy from Tampa Bay,
29:53
Speaker 2: except they got money, so they spend money. But then
29:55
Speaker 2: they still try they try to do they try to
29:57
Speaker 2: do it both ways. They try to do it like
29:59
Speaker 2: Tampa Bay, but then they a big money mm hmm.
30:02
Speaker 1: So here you man, is that the age don't come
30:06
Speaker 1: here because it's how cheap that this guy is. I'm
30:09
Speaker 1: so excited with this team. They got so many great, great,
30:12
Speaker 1: great players if they were to come out to Vegas day.
30:15
Speaker 1: But the John Fisher guys find a way to mess
30:18
Speaker 1: you up.
30:18
Speaker 2: Oh, they'll spend some money when they get to Vegas
30:20
Speaker 2: because they have to. They'll sign a free agent or
30:22
Speaker 2: two because they'll try to. It'll sign some of these
30:25
Speaker 2: young guys to extensions because they have to have to
30:28
Speaker 2: try to give the illusion John Fisher that they're in
30:31
Speaker 2: it and they're gonna win in Vegas and they're committed
30:34
Speaker 2: to Vegas. And they'll say, well, we got all this
30:36
Speaker 2: money in Vegas and all that. So yeah, all right,
30:40
Speaker 2: two things. First of all, I love that you're a
30:41
Speaker 2: new voice. That's great, you're not one of the regulars.
30:44
Speaker 2: And number two, your phone blows, so please get a
30:47
Speaker 2: better phone. Okay, I thank you, all right, buddy, go away, Dotty,
30:52
Speaker 2: thank you all right, that's a terrible phone. Good call,
30:54
Speaker 2: terrible phone. Is that possible to have a good call
30:57
Speaker 2: on the terrible phone? Is it conceivable that both those
30:59
Speaker 2: things could be true?
31:00
Speaker 4: No?
31:01
Speaker 2: Possibly not possibly not? Uh fird dog says, rest in
31:06
Speaker 2: peace to the cup of water, and he's a morning
31:09
Speaker 2: the ice water, delicious ice water that is now soaking
31:14
Speaker 2: into the carpet. It lived a good life. The ice
31:20
Speaker 2: melting in the water. What a waste of good hyation.
31:24
Speaker 2: It's not right. There's a drought. That water could have
31:28
Speaker 2: helped someone starving for water, dehydrating out in the desert,
31:35
Speaker 2: but instead that water met its demise at the Premiere
31:40
Speaker 2: Networks in the kitchen that looks like a smurf kitchen,
31:44
Speaker 2: and just fell down in a panic mood, trying to
31:49
Speaker 2: grab the cop It's gonna be okay, Lorain. It is
31:54
Speaker 2: gonna be missed, but I'm gonna go hang out with
31:57
Speaker 2: one of its relatives. Another cup of water, and I'll
32:00
Speaker 2: fill that cup with delicious ice and more water, and
32:06
Speaker 2: we will say God bless that cup of water, and
32:09
Speaker 2: we'll move on, but we'll never forget the water we
32:12
Speaker 2: left behind. Hellelujah, helllllujah. All right, let's say hello to
32:19
Speaker 2: any meaning money. But let's go to Flexus, America's favorite
32:22
Speaker 2: drag queen caller, never on topic. Felexis is an agenda caller.
32:26
Speaker 2: There's an agenda caller. Felexus only wants to talk about

Speaker 2: you just decided to look at the schedule. The schedule
32:50
Speaker 2: has been out since like April, but you just are
32:52
Speaker 2: I assumed that March. Maybe you just decided to look
32:55
Speaker 2: at the Bill schedule. So you're a real Bills fan,
32:59
Speaker 2: man I am. Yeah, So you want to play the
33:02

Speaker 2: seven the Bills play bye week. That's who they play.
33:37
Speaker 2: They play the bye week in week seven, that's right now.
33:41
Speaker 2: The only way you lose the bye week is if
33:43
Speaker 2: a couple of starters get arrested or get injured, so
33:45
Speaker 2: then you lose the bye week. But outside of that,
33:47
Speaker 2: you're gonna win the bye week. So that's a win.
