  Speaker 3: right into it in our lead story this hour in

  Speaker 3: hour three with the Lame Jokes of the Week coming
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: up later in the hour. The comedy club will be open,
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: but our lead this hour is from Chicago. Big story here,
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: the Bears trying to find a new stadium as they
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: are done at Soldier Field. They want out, a Soldier
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: Field in downtown Chicago, right on the shores of Lake Michigan.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: They want out. And so the Bears are are looking around.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: They were supposed to build a stadium out in the
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: suburbs at a horse track that he tore down. Now
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: they've pivoted and they're saying, you know what, we don't
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: want to be in Chicago, we don't want to be
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: in Illinois. Let's do the old tiptoe across state lines
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: here and get out of Dodge. And they've said they
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: took a meaningful step, which means they've inched a little
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: bit closer to leaving the state of Illinois. The Chicago Bears,
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: one of the iconic franchises in pro sports, been around
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: forever in the NFL, and they're about to exit if
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: you believe the reporting here to a dome stadium in
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: northwest Indiana.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: A dome domed a dome dome dome.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: Now that means, if this happens, the only team in
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: a division that was defined by cold weather, the only
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: team left in that division.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Well, the outdoors, the Green Bay Packers, right Vikings of Dome,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: the Lions of Dome. That's wild.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: Hey, if you've not heard the latest on this, lawmakers,
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: which means sleazy politicians in the Hoosier State unanimously approved
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: the next step.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: There's multiple rungs of the ladder. They have to climb,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: climb the ladder, but.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: They've approved the next step in legislation that will help
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: build a stadium in Hammond.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Indiana been I've never been to him in Indiana.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: The bill would create the Northwest Indiana Stadium Authority.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: That sounds like a lot of bureaucracy, a lot of
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: no show jobs. And they would be able.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: To acquire land and finance the construction. So the Bears,
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: of course don't have to build their own stadium.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: That's how this works.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: The Bears are now dreaming of building a stadium near
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: Wolf Lake. Do they have to change their name to
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: the Indiana Wolves or something like that?
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Wolf Lake? I never heard that either.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: It's in Hammond, obviously, and it straddles I looked it up.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: It straddles the Indiana Illinois state lines.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: It's right near Lake Michigan. So that is a good
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: jumping off point.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: Let us discuss the question are you drawing any conclusions
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: to the Bears and their talks with Indiana. So I've
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: got steel Cage, Funhouse, and lows, and we will combine
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: all of these things together and we're gonna cram for
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: the exam and then we're gonna go bam and scram.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: All right, So, first of all, the Bears flirting with Indiana,
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: this is not obviously romance.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Does anyone think this is romance? This is not romance.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: This is not some kind of steamy romance novel or
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: even Blair and Maine watching porn, none of that stuff.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: This is extortion with a smile, is what this is.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: And it's the card that they play from the bottom
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: of the deck in professional sports. This is what franchise
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: loyalty looks like to you, a public shakedown dressed up
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: as some kind.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Of civic dude, civic concern. And it's the same thing.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: You leak the story to the media, the usefulated to
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: the media, repeat the story. You rattle a few cages, right,
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: You let the fan base fight your battle.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: You let the fans in Chicago. We had phase call
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: up earlier a longtime Bears fan he's not very happy.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: He's upset, even though his parents live in Indiana. Now
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: he's all upset. But you want to keep the monsters
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: of the Midway, right, you.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: Want to get that's the Bears right now, Chicago Deep Dish,
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: Peacha Top Bears. Well, if you want to keep the
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: Bears in Chicago, call your aldermen and you'll shake up
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: your state rep. And you pass the hat and the
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: collection plate and all that.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: So the Bears lease at Soldier Field goes through twenty
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: thirty three. So I guess one of those things.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: It sounds like a long time, but before you know it,
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: it's seven years will have passed. But urgency is a
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: marvelous prop, right, marvelous prop And wolf Lake I looked
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: it up twenty two miles roughly about twenty two miles
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: away from.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Soldier Field to wolf Lake.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: So that now is the promised land. All those toll
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: roads that we heard about there crossing state line will
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: we'll transform you cross the Illinois Indiana state line. It
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: transforms taxpayer cash apparently in the holy water.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: That's it. Now.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: I've been around long enough, I've seen the con. I
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: know how the con works, and it's again the same playbook.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: The Rams and Chargers came back to LA. They found
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: their salvation in the hood in Inglewood, which is.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: A suburb in the LA area.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: The forty nine Ers said bye bye the Candlestick Park
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: and they play in Santa Clara and the Jets and
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: the Giants play in New Jersey while they sell.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: The Manhattan mythology.
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: You watch a Jets or Giants game, they often show
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: the skyline of Manhattan.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: They're across the water from Manhattan. So it's not about
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: heritage or history. It's about a a sweeter allowance is
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: what they want here.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: The politicians from both jurisdictions. What they do is they
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: enter a steel cage. You go into the steel cage,
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: there's a bidding war, and how much of the public
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: wallet can you get?
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Right? The public the purse like the taxpayers. They end
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: up getting body slammed, body slammed and all for what
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: are we talking about? Ten home games a year and
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: I will guarantee the Bears will promise we're going to
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: get a Super Bowl. We'll get a Super Bowl.
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: So the aristocrats will fly in and the people that
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: live here will not be able to go to the game,
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: but will fly everyone.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: In and then it'll be that.
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: So call it what it is. This is the billionaires
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: window shopping.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: What are they looking for? A sugar daddy? They want
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: a sugar daddy. They're daring the public to applaud and
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: do their work for them. Now, secondly, we.
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: Stay in the Bear's building. I saw this comment this
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: week and I thought it was interesting. I want to
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: spend a couple of minutes on it. So Caleb Williams,
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: who for a couple of weeks in the playoffs, was
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: the toast of Chicago.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: So Caleb Williams, the Bears quarterback, was asked about what
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: he is known for. What is he known for?
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: He is known for painting his nails. This is what
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: the man is known for. So Caleb Williams says, he
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: quote gives no f's. That's a quote I give no
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: f's about what people think about his painted nails. He said,
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: you know, people feel a certain way about it in
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: a masculine sport. And you know this is a direct
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: quote from Kayler Williams. I give no f's.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: He said, no f's. To be honest with you.
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: I could care less question how believable is that quote?
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: How believable is Bear's quarterback Kaller Williams.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Saying he gives no f's about the nail painting criticism
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: that he's gotten. So I'll tell you my perspective.
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: I'm seeing guy who is desperate for you and me
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: to know how much he doesn't care, which, of course,
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: using overnight ben logic, means he.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: Cares more than anybody. He cares more than anybody. I
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: smell a fraud, I do.
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: On the Malard scale of believability, Caleb Williams, Bears quarterback,
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: gives no fs about people goofing on him for his
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: painted nails. On the Malard scale of believability one to ten,
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: I am at a two. I'm at a two right now,
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: maybe a one and a half. This is the look
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: at me generation. I didn't grow up in this generation,
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: but Caleb Williams did. He's part of the young Blood.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: And you live on your screen. You live on your
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: screen when you go out and watch a sporting event
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: or you watch a show or something like that. You're
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: the statue of liberty. You got to record it.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: You can't just be in the moment, you can't be present.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: You have to record it. You have to record it
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: so like no one will actually watch the video, but
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: you have to do it. That's part of the rules.
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: If you're of that generation and you're plugged in to
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: the Matrix twenty four to seven, it's your fun house
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: of mirrors. So you're telling me a guy that spends
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: his life when he's not playing ball checking his mentions
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: doesn't care about the trolls. Really, I'm gonna give you
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: that side eye. This is the classic look at me move.
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: You don't stand out that much unless you want the attention.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: You don't. I don't want attention, you know, introvert. You
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: don't paint your nails. You're inviting the cockroaches.
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: It's all sunshine and rainbows right now because you're winning
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: playoff games. And when the ship be sinking. When the
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: ship be sinking, it starts taking on some of water.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: That is when the nail polar starts rubbing, you know,
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: coming off, and then that becomes a tart. I don't
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: think this is the biggest deal in the world and
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: all that, But you're gonna tell me you don't care.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: I don't believe that you don't care, right because you
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: win a big game. It's like, hey, I'm the guy
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: with the fingernail polish and I'm winning games. And you
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: think some veteran season the linebacker and the Bears and
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: wants to hear about self expression after Caleb goes out
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: and has a bad game. No, the golden rule, though.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Is still in play. When you win, you are considered
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: a visionary. When you lose, you are a weirdo with
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: a capitol W. That's it. Now. When I covered the
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: NBA back in the day, they had a player named
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: Dennis Rodman.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: You might not know who that is, but Rodman had
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: all kinds of different colored hair and weird piercings in
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: odd places, and he was an amazing player and it
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: didn't matter because he was a great but it was
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: also a different sport. But he's an amazing player, an
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: all time great rebounders and defensive players in NBA history.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: So he was able to get away with it. But suck.
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: You know, It's like there was a guy in the
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: Knicks last night that had blue and orange hair, which
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: would have been fine if the Knicks hadn't got their
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: ass kissed, you know, kicked by the Pistons. All right,
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: final thought to baseball, we go where Cubs outfielder Pete
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: crow Armstrong, who grew up just down the street from
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: our Sherman Oaks Studios in LA the son of actors,
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: and he knows a thing or two about Hollywood. He
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: took some jabs at Dodger fans. So I want to
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: thank Steve, who lives in the Chicago land area, who
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: sent this to me. He thought this would be perfect
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: for the show, and I agree.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: So in a cover story for something called Chicago Magazine,
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: which is somehow still publishing apparently, crow Armstrong smothered the
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: Cub fans with love.
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: He said, it's just an incredible city. The people are great,
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: he said, they give an ass. They aren't just baseball
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: fans who go to the game like Rodgers fans.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: To take pictures or whatever. They are paying attention. They
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: care close.
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: Quote all right, question your opinion, your thoughts, your reaction
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: to Pete crow Armstrong doing the daily double praising the
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: Cubs fans and pooping.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: On the Dodger fans. So it sounded to me.
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: Like Pete crow Armstrong is running for the mayor of Wrigleyville.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: Like I want to be the honorable mayor.
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: Of Wrigleyville, and it's all political theater, kissing babies, shaking hands.
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: You got a massage the room and throw some shrapnel
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: over the Dodger fans and says, no, they care, they care.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: Let's call it what it is. You are sucking up
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: to the electorate. I don't blame Pete crow Armstrong, PCA.
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: I don't blame the guy sucked. At the end of
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: last year, he got off to an amazing start, looked great,
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: My god, what is for the cubbies? Former Mets farmhand.
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: And then Pete crow Armstrong over the final seventy games
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: batted two eleven and had a six thirty oh ps
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: not exactly the next Andre Dawson, right, or Sammy Sosi
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: And that's please don't look at my baseball reference page stuff.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: And he knows how this works in Chicago. If you
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: if you you flatter, you know, kind of you flatter
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: the crowd, you praise the crowd, they will overlook that,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: you know.
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: As far as the whole Dodger stuff, the Dodgers have
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: the biggest fan base on all of baseball right now
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: because they're winners and everyone loves winners, and they're winning.
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: They have an international fan base. It's like Lows, there's
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: something for everyone among the Dodger fanbase. You have the
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: hardcore Dodger.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Fans that have been around since in the sixties, they're
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: getting older.
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: You got the casual fans, you got the Hollywood fans,
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: you got the you know, the fans that you know
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: love the food truck and all that.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: The younger fans with their phones. It's a buffet. And
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: in Chicago in many ways it's the same way.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: But I when I think of the Cub fans, I've
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: been a few Cub games of you don't always have
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: a great time at Wrigley Field. It's awesome, it's great environment,
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: very lucky if you're in Chicago to have Wrigley Field.
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: But remember what Lee Elia said about the Cub fan
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: eighty five percent of the effing world's work. The other
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: fifteen percent come out here. It's a playground for the
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: blank blanks.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: The nickel and dive people that show up God and
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: get a job. Still the greatest rant of all time,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: Lee Ilia. If you haven't heard it somehow, it's on YouTube.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: It is not radio friendly, but it is just freaking great, outstanding.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: It is the Ben Maller Show. You know, it's also outstanding.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Mallard to the third degree. Mallard of the third degree.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: It's right now here we go is strike up the man?
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: It's Mallard. How about that to the third degree.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: I just said that this is one big fan.
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: Get squill koopd.
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: Lou Ben New Raven's offensive coordinator Declan Doyle is not
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: even thirty years old yet, but he thinks that his uh,
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: this is very loud music, That's what he thinks.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: There's there's some taco bell there.
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: So Ravens O see Declan Doyle.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: To yell over the music. I'm yelling.
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: He's not even thirty years old yet, but he thinks
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: that his young age can actually be an advantage. Doyle
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: says it's easier for him to connect with the players
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: because they are the same age.
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: Ben does he have a point.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: Well, this is on a case by case basis.
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: I've been around long enough, you know, if it clicks,
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: it's great. Sean McVay was a young guy when he
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: got the Rams job, and he's really good at his job.
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: The Tampa Bay Buccaneers hired was it Raheem Morris? I
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: forget who I think I might remember?
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: Hi Morris? And he was out.
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: Whoever it was was out partying with the players on
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: the road, like trying to pick up chicks. So that
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: didn't go so well. So I don't know anything about
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: this guy. I've never heard of him. You know, it's
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: a case by case base. It can't help. There needs
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: to be a boundary there. There's got to be a
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: little bit of a boundary. You can't be hanging out
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: with the guys and all that too much or also
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: becomes a problem.
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: Next Alright, I'm gonna throw you a curveball here, Ben, Okay,
• 18:19
  Speaker 5: go ahead. So the wind totals were released from you know,
• 18:24
  Speaker 5: Vegas this week and the Carolina Panthers they won their
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: division last season, and they are tired for the lowest
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: projected wind total next season. Six and a half is
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: what they are set at. And do you think that's
• 18:39
  Speaker 5: a little bit too low?
• 18:41
  Speaker 6: No?
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: And here's why. A, that's the gambling market saying Bryce
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: Young sucks and that he's not consistent, which is true.
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: And then like the division, I like, it's not a
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: great division. Carolina overtin they're gonna play a tougher schedule
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: because they ended off even though they had didn't have
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: a great record last year, but they made the playoffs
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: and obviously played the Rams and almost upset the Rams
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: and all that.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: So I don't think this Rockets are going to play
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: tougher schedule. I don't know what. Atlanta looks pretty bad
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: at this point.
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: Tampa Bay should be better than them in the division.
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: I think it's about right next.
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: Caid Cunningham had a recent interview with GQ magazine and
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: he was asked about the upcoming twenty twenty eighth Summer Olympics,
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: which will be here in Los Angeles. Cunningham said that
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: he thinks he is the best American player.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: Is he right?
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: Well, it's hard to rip him after the game he
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: had at Madison Square Garden last night, right, the greatest
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: game by a Piston at against the Knicks at Madison
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: Square Guarden.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: He's great. And listen, the guy's been wonderful.
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: You know, he was on some really morbid Piston teams
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: when he came in as a top pick in the draft,
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: and we were.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: Goofing on the Pistons because they deserve to be grouped on.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: They were trash and everyone's like the sky is falling.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: It was falling, and something has clicked the last year
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: and a half.
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: For the Detroit Pistons, and they are one of the
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: utteran teams in the NBA. And he is he's not
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: only talking to talk, he's walked the walk. I'd have
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: to get my ven diagram out.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: Coup and look at the other players.
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: A lot of the great American players are getting long
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: in the two.
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so it is.
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: I mean it's a tough It's tough to fight that
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: because the guys are all in their mid thirties. The
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: great generation of American ballplayers, the top players in the
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: NBA are all from other countries.
• 20:23

• 28:36
  Speaker 3: performing at the iconic Carnegie Hall.
• 28:38
  Speaker 10: That's awesome, Oh my god, it would be worth the
• 28:41
  Speaker 10: ticket to get me out of all the rain and
• 28:43
  Speaker 10: the issues of the Epstein files here in London. But
• 28:46
  Speaker 10: besides that point.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: Well, now did you did you when you were Mallard
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: about now?
• 28:50
  Speaker 11: Now?
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: When you were thinking, Chris, when you were thinking about
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: where to live, and you I don't know exactly why
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: you picked London. Were you unaware of the weather in London?
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: Because I'll always knew, like why there was not the
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: greatest in London.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: I knew that growing up. But I've never been to London.
• 29:06
  Speaker 10: Well, it's like living in Michigan. We have two seasons
• 29:08
  Speaker 10: in Michigan July and winter. So now I have the rain.
• 29:12
  Speaker 10: But that's my stupidity. Okay, all right, going down memory lane,
• 29:17
  Speaker 10: you bring back such good memories of baseball. I'm despert
• 29:21
  Speaker 10: to understand where my Tigers fit in twenty twenty sixth,
• 29:25
  Speaker 10: since we're talking baseball, because all I see here our
• 29:28
  Speaker 10: one soccer team finishes some playoffs and then go with
• 29:31
  Speaker 10: loses and go somewhere else. I don't understand anything about
• 29:33
  Speaker 10: sports here. I am so desperate to learn about American sports.
• 29:37
  Speaker 10: Agaan Okay, mister Maller, please tell me I have a chance.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you bought well. You're very happy to know that
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: you've now left the country.
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: And the Tigers have one of the top teams in baseball,
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: and depending on which gambling market you look at, are
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: the favorite to win the American League. As the Detroit
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: Tigers have fattened up their starting rotation and they are
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: by many account the team to be Now Toronto's gonna
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: be good again, and you know the Yankees will be
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: solid in the Blue Jays, you know, in the Red
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: Sox in that division. But the if you look at it,
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: the the Detroit Tigers, with that loaded starting pitching, are
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: one of the teams that's the favorite to play the
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: Dodgers in the World Series, to be the team to
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: lose to the Dodgers in the Fall Classic. Your Detroit
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: Tigers with Verlaners washed up carcass back there with Detroit, and.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: They spent some money.
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: They spent some money on that, on that pitching staff,
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: so they got a pretty good one to two punch
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: at the front of that. You know, I'm not a
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: fan of Franburgh Valdez a cheating as.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: Woman was in two thousand and zero or now. Jack
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: Flaherty is not a good big game pitcher.
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: But there's solid during the regular season and then you
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: got school boll at the front.
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: So yeah, they're one of the top teams this year.
• 30:56
  Speaker 10: Mister mallock. Can they hit the baseball? Because last year
• 30:58
  Speaker 10: when I was still in the United States, couldn't hit
• 31:00
  Speaker 10: the baseball.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: I know, I don't love the lineup. I don't think
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: they're that great offensively, So I don't answer is no.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: I don't think if you're if you're gonna win because
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: your offense you're not. You know, I don't think did
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: they do anything.
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: I don't think they did anything of note to replace
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: anybody in their lineup. I think they pretty much the
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: same group they had last year, So.
• 31:20
  Speaker 10: I don't think it's doing a long season. From me, Okay,
• 31:23
  Speaker 10: off to the rain and find somewhere where I can
• 31:25
  Speaker 10: have my English tee take care of it.

  Speaker 1: No no, no, no, no, no.
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: The story was the NBA is planning on putting the
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: team in Seattle, but now they're having second thoughts because
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: I guess a lot of the business people are threatening

• 32:13
  Speaker 3: also a mill I guess you guys have a millionaires

• 32:26
  Speaker 3: having a have you believe I saw the story.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: Maybe this is AI too, but they said.
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: Adam Silver was worried about the business climate in Seattle,
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: and you know if they're whether or not they're gonna
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: put the team there. But it's been planned out for
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: years to bring the Sonics back. I hope they do
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: bring the Sonics back. That'd be great.
• 32:43
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I don't think anybody's really holding their brats here
• 32:46
  Speaker 11: until there's something a little more tangible than that. But
• 32:49
  Speaker 11: it does kind of remind me of like, you know,
• 32:53
  Speaker 11: teams moving, you know, and and going back to your
• 32:56
  Speaker 11: monologue about you know, the the Bears move being ballparks,
• 33:00
  Speaker 11: and I mean I would think about the Dodgers. I know,
• 33:04
  Speaker 11: you guys have the Dodgers now in LA, and I'm glad.
• 33:07
  Speaker 11: I mean, expansion was inevitable, especially in baseball. How it
• 33:12
  Speaker 11: all started on the East coast, and of course people
• 33:14
  Speaker 11: gradually moved west, so we had to get all, you know,
• 33:19
  Speaker 11: all teams out there. I just wish you.
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: Could dodge the Dodgers have been the Dodgers have been
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: in LA longer than they were in Brooklyn, oh.
• 33:26
  Speaker 11: Much longer, and they're one older teams in baseball. Of course,
• 33:31
  Speaker 11: the name Dodgers comes from dodging trolley's and all that.
• 33:34
  Speaker 11: But yeah, I don't know. I think it's you know,
• 33:41
  Speaker 11: now they'll get more fans from Indiana or Indiana on
• 33:44
  Speaker 11: top of fans in Chicago, so maybe you know, well,
• 33:47
  Speaker 11: it's not like I.
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: See, it's just it's it's not that it's twenty miles
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: like if you're playing on going to a Bears game.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: It's I don't think it's that big big deal.
• 33:56
  Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, how do you think that the kids then
• 34:00
  Speaker 11: Brooklyn felt when they lost their teens, I mean, they
• 34:02
  Speaker 11: had three other New York teams.
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: Now, let me tell you something. I'm gonna I'm going
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: to date myself here.
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: But when I when I did stuff with the Dodgers,
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: we would we would go in to play the Mets,
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: and we stayed in Manhattan, and there was a group
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: of old dudes when I and I was like in
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: my early twenties, but there was a group of old
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: dudes that were Brooklyn Dodger fans that stood outside the
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: hotel and these guys were in there, you know, the
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: seventies eighties, and they had their Brooklyn Dodgers stuff, and
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: when they went to abbots Field and they were old
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: man and they loved the Dodgers, and they were out
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: there supporting the Dodgers and they wanted them to move back.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: Unfortunately they're not moving.
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: They still wanted them to move back.
• 34:40
  Speaker 11: Huh, Well, I mean have it. S Field had a
• 34:43
  Speaker 11: certain charm to it too, Like when I look at
• 34:45
  Speaker 11: the old Committee Park and everything with the with the
• 34:48
  Speaker 11: arches kind of behind the fans. You know, you can
• 34:51
  Speaker 11: kind of see through the ballpark and see the city outside.
• 34:54
  Speaker 11: You know, three rivers and a lot of the cookie
• 34:56
  Speaker 11: cutter stadiums there's just sewing clothes. You know. It's like
• 35:00
  Speaker 11: you're not you know, and then you got this great view,
• 35:03
  Speaker 11: but you can't see it from inside this generic lallpark.
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: So they.
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: Were not I mean, those stadiums were built because they
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: had certain amount of money, a little amount of money.
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: The budget was only so much. Like Fenway Park's a
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: great example. It's the reason they have the green Monsters
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: because that's all the space they had.
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: They had. They had to build this giant wall.
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: Because they had a street behind the Green Monster.
• 35:25
