• 5:21
  Speaker 1: of you are claiming you did not hear the answer
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: to the who am I game? I don't know how
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: that could be. So for those of you that are
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: sending me nasty messages and complaining, clearly it's a you problem.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: It can't be a meat problem. I never make any
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: errors at all here, So I don't know what happened.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, maybe the watch and McCall it stopped working,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: or the thing of a jig.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: But for those of you that were listening last hour,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: the question was if the Seahawks win and cover, Sam
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Darnold will joined me as the only starting quarterbacks in
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: the last twenty five years to be on a team
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: that covered a Super Bowl point spread by over four points.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: The spread is anywhere from four and a half to
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: five right now. Answer to that.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: The only other quarterback the last generation to cover a
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: spread of over four points in the super Bowl. That
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: would be Peyton Manning. That's it, So Peyton Manning. So
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: I mean you might want to fix your hearing aid.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: If you didn't hear that answer, I don't know why
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: you would you not. But our lead this hour is
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: from Motown. We go to Motown where the music hasn't
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: been good in a while, and the Tigers have decided
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: to make a splish splash.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: In free agency. Say what you're talking baseball? It's Super Bowl.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: This is how dull these teams are, the Patriots and
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks. We're talking about Detroit Tiger baseball baby. Because
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: some news came out, We've learned that a this is
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: a follow up to a mile of monologue that we
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: gave you the other day. Free agent pitcher frambur Valdez,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: late of the cheating as rose and he has agreed
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: to terms with the Detroit Tigers on a one hundred
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: and fifteen million dollars three year contract.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: A little Murdie was chirping, Trip trip tripper.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Now Liberty says it will be the highest average annual
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: value aa V, as the kids like to say, for
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: a left handed pitcher in baseball history. So take that
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Sandy Kofax and all you other losers. This Franbur Valdez,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: the highest paid on a single year average in baseball history.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Now Valdez, who has been somewhat durable, but he's a
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: place for the cheaters.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: It has played for the cheaters.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: So now he will take his talents to the Detroit
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Tigers rotation, which is currently anchored by the top pitcher
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: in Baseball American League, Cy Young winner Trek Scuoble, a
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: multi time Platinum Trek Scooble, who is still hanging out
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: in Motown. He's also going to arbitration. That ruling should
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: be down soon, and you gotta think he's gonna win that. However,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: stranger things have happened. He with beings are involved anyway.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: So the story here is that Framber Valdez, it looked
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: like nobody wanted him, and he ends up getting a contract.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: I of course immediately got an email from a how
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: should I say it? I want to keep my job,
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: A deplorable a hole fan? How about that from Houston?
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: So you were Wrongbeller. You did twenty minutes on Framber
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Valdez and he de sided with the Tigers, and you
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: don't know what you're talking about. Okay, thank you.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: I'm glad that you emailed me, and I did I
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: right back to this guy. No, why would I write back.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: I have the bully pulpit. I can just bury the
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: guy right here. Okay, I can bear the guy right here.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: So that's a good jumping off point. Let us discuss
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: the question what is your knee jerk reaction to starting
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: pitcher Framber Valdez heading to the Detroit Tigers Big Baseball
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: signing there.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: Spring training starts in less than two weeks.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: Less than two weeks, all right, So my observations, I've
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: got bowling ball, porterhouse steak, and wandering officer, and we
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: will lock all of these things together and we are
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: going to play Connect three is what we're gonna play.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: So this is number one. This is a late night
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: TV commercial. Wait, there's more, right, operators are standing by
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: right now. You can pull out props and be like
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: a prop comedian or a late night infomercial and drop
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: a bowling ball on a pillow, A my pillow. It's
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: a my pillow contract. No bounce baby. So I was
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: actually right about this. This is a pillow contract. And
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: bringing Mike Lindell and all that not the five to
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: six year contract that Veldees wanted for the schmuck a
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: astro fan astro fan.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: He wanted a five or six year deal. Nobody offered
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: him that. This is now, it's a pillow contract.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: It's a luxury pillow with an opt out tag that's
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: still attached to it.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: He's got a lot of.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Cash per year, however, just not the full price that
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: he wanted. And so Valdez will stay for two years.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: It's got two years and then he can hit the
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: eject button and go back into the transfer portal, go
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: back to the market, hit the snooze button. And of
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: course if he doesn't pitch, well, if he doesn't pitch well,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: he's going to continue to winter in Michigan like he
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: spent his summer in Michigan. And don't forget also that
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Frambergh got a little he's still got a little bit
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: of that funky funky bo from Houston on him hanging
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: out all those years with the cheating you know who,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: the cheating you know who, banging on trash cans and
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: blowing in the whistles. Hey, check them for the buzzer,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: checking for the buzzer. Now, he also last season famously
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: during a game this made for good Talk radio. It
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: was taboo in the community of baseball. He called out
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: his catcher. But deeper than that. So despite this big
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: AAV average Annual value framber, he's going to a team
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: where he's not going to be the.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: Alpha in Motown.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: He is not.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: He is the sidekick. He's the robin to.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: Tarrek Schouble as batman, which in theories like, well, you're
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: not the number one.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: Guy, there's limited pressure in that.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: You slide in as the number two and you pitch
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: in October and then you're hiding out behind schoolbll Let
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: the Tigers do the heavy lifting and all that stuff.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: Detroit's loaded, legit loaded the world like World Series loaded?
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: And Toronto are they? Are they going to replace Toronto
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: as the American League team in the World Series? Because
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: it's really the Dodgers have already won the National League pennant.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: I don't if you know that.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: The Dodgers wrapped up the Nation League pennant, and so
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: we're just waiting to find out who's going to.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: Win the American League pennant. And that's it.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: Uh and so again, But the wider angle lens, the
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: wider angle lens on this it's a it's a game
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: of bach Bach, Chicken and Valdez. Framber Valdez flinched. He
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: should have taken the Council of the Malar Think Tank
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: and waited. Once arms start popping. We mentioned rice crispy
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: snap crackle pop, and it's gonna happen in less than
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: two weeks in the Cactus League and the Grapefruit League,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: prices go up, teams get desperate, and instead he said,
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: you know what I want, A nice pillow right now.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: I hope it's a memory foam pillow. That's what I
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: hope for you. Framburgh.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: All right now, page two we go to La speaking
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: of sho hal Tani and he shall appear So the
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: Dodgers superstar, the face of Baseball, Sorry Aaron Judge, Global Baseball,
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: Shoe Haltani. Dodgers are the most popular team at Shoe Heotni.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: So Shoeltani admitted recently did an interview. He doesn't do
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: a lot of interviews, but he admitted that he likes
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: the team.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: This is going to shock you. He likes the team.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: Spending spree the Dodgers over the last couple of off seasons,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: and yeah, they've they've been getting a lot of pushback.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: You know, a lot of you people are losers and
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: you push back against the Dodgers.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: So Otani said, he believes that the Dodgers massive spending
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: spree is good for baseball.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: Third rail, mommam, that's the third rail, he said.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: Quote this is a quote from Otani translated. He said, yeah,
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: I think with what the ownership group has done, it's great.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Otani said. I mean, obviously the fans pay money, they
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: buy tickets, and they you know, he said, they come
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: to the game. So I think that the money is
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: being used back to sign these great players and put
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: up and put out a winning product on the field.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: Close quote. All right, questions shoe a.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Otani says the Dodgers spending spree is good for baseball.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: How is that going over? How is this going over?
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: These comments by Otani. So this is after a two minute,
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: not three minute, not one minute, two minute, two minute investigation,
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: this is actually a penalty, and in the eyes of
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: the baseball community, it's an instigator penalty, and Otani actually
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: has to go to the penalty box for two minutes.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: Two minutes.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: Instigator penalty for showing Otani. This is Otani lighting a cigar.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: I love it.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: Lighting a cigar with a double double wrapped one hundred
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: dollars bills and right in front of the poverty franchises.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: In Major League Baseball is what he's doing. And the
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: thing that blows me away.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: And I've talked about this in the past, but there's
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: new people listening all the time to the Ben Mather Show,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: and we thank you for that. Tell a friend, these
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: loser fans who don't have the fighting spirit. It's bad enough,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: they're teams that they follow have no gut. Right the
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: fan bases have embraced that. It blows me away.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: Why are you like that? You don't want to be
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: the team that beats Goliath? Apparently, no, no, no no.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: For my entire life growing up, it was always, man,
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: you want to take down that big, powerful, dominant team, Right,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: you wanted to beat whenever the Yankees had a dynasty.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: You want to be the team that took down the Yankees, Right,
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: you want to take them.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: Down and all that.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: In this case, though, it's like, well, it's a Dodgers
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: and we can't beat them, so we'll run from the
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: grind and instead We just want Major League Baseball to
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: cut the blue Dodger balls off.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: And give them real blue balls, no balls. So o Tani,
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: what he does? What he did?
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: Here? Otani tossed a porterhouse steak into a hungry lion's den.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: It's sea salt on an open wound. It's also hilarious
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: seeing the reaction, the feeding frenzy from fans of suck
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: bag teams who aren't trying to win, and there are
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: bleeding and all that. You know, Tani strolls in there
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: wearing a blue and gold iron Man armor outfit and says, hey.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: This is great, man? Is this great?
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: Like?
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: What did you expect him to say? You expect? Well,
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: I'm a little embarrassed.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: The Dodgers spend too much money and I happen to
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: be one of the players that's on the team. And
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: please Gorgenheim group, tighten the purse strings. Please don't spend
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: this money. Come on, no, come on, the Dodgers spoil
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: these players. They travel better than all the other American
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: sports athletes. And I believe globally there might be some
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: soccer team, but from what I heard, they're the only
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: team that segregates. The players have one plane, and the media,
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: the trainers, the coaching staff, all the supports staff have there.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: I have a different plane. That's how spoiled the rotten
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: these Dodgers are right, And you want Otani to say, nah,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: we don't need that. This is the Gilded Age. It
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: is what it is, and he's the king. This is
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: Rokefeller like vibes. If you've studied American history, it's Rockefeller.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: Otani's living in Baseball's taj Mahal. And all these people
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: are out there protesting, saying you gotta you can't be
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: doing that. Oh my god, and Otani basically says, suck
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: it to the trolls, and I love it, right, I
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: love it.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: It's great.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: The fans get gouge Dodger fans with overprized merch and
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: overpriced snacks and all that ticket price is parking the
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: whole thing.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: And at least the ownership group they spend, they spend,
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: and good for them. So that's it. That's the sales pitch.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: The fans overpay for this junk the owner spends, and
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: that's what's supposed to happen.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: In other places, that's not the case. And if you
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: sign with the Dodgers.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: You get the red carpet, not a coupon book, like
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: you're playing for the Pirates or the Rays or the A's.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: It's capitalism with pine tar all over it. Here's the truth.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: Nobody wants to say out loud. This isn't about baseball health.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: It's about cheap owners getting exposed.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: Is what it is. All right.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: Meanwhile, final point, we go to the NFL. That's right,
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: we go from baseball to the NFL.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: I had to mention this. Go to Arizona. The Cardinals.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: I don't if you saw this or not.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: They agreed to a deal with Nathaniel Hackett as their
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: offensive coordinator. Yep, yep, that's the same guy. That's not
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: you know, he thought he might have changed his name.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: Nathaniel Hackett. He's in his mid forties. He was an
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: offensive coordinator for Matt LeFleur in Green Bay. He was
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: in Jacksonville. He's bounced around the NFL. He's not good
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: at his job. He also failed spectacularly with the Broncos.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: And now Nathaniel Hackett will team up with the other Lafleur.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: That's how he's known, Mike LeFleur in Arizona. So the
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: question for the esteem panel, Nathaniel Hackett picks up the
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: keys to the Cardinals offense. It's how on God's green
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: Earth does Nathaniel Hackett keep getting these gigs seriously?
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: So it's not and I knew this going in. It's
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: not what you know, because he's pretty bad at his job.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: It's who you know.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: And Nathaniel Hackett is a Nepo baby. He was born
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: into a coaching family. I covered the University of Southern
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: California Trojans. His dad, Paul Hackett, was the coach, not
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: a good one back in the day. And so Nathaniel
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: Hackett's that's the family business in coaching, and so that
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: helps out.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: Now I should be clear.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: Hackett, Nathaniel Hackett is not going to be calling the
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: plays for the Cardinals, and so that means this is
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: one of those plum gigs. You get the title, you
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: get the corner office. It's a smile and just nod
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: in the meetings. Make sure you bring the right donuts.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: Make sure you bring the right donuts. Want the glazed donuts,
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: A couple of Long Johns, a bear claw and an
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: apple fritter.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: And you got to go to the meetings.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: Make sure that those again, bare claw apple fritter glazed donuts,
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: and then you bring those to the meeting and don't
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: touch anything else, don't touch the overhead projector don't do it.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: Don't do not do it.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: And Hackett is like, you know, he's like, he's like
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: that degenerate cousin that nobody trusts with the car keys.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: However, you feel bad for him. It's like a friend
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: of the family. And so I guess the the Flair family.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: They keep letting him crash on the couch and he smells,
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: he doesn't shower, you know, he's got dishevel the whole thing. Wow,
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: So seriously, why does Hackett keep landing jobs? Now my
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: theory on this, I've got free words. Uh barbecue pit
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: boss are my three words. In Green Bay, they swore
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: up and down that this guy could smoke meat like
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: a wizard. Okay, he was the whiz of smoked meat.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: Forget red zone efficiency. Who cares about that? This guy
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: his offense is a mean brisket. And if you've ever
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: had properly cooked brisket, it's one of the great things
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: about being alive. You never want to die because of
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: the brisket. You want to live forever. So you're gonna
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: have more brisket. You do, even if you're a vegan,
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: you want more brisket.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: It's that good.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: So Hackett is wandering, you know what, He's a wandering officer,
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: and I believe that's the phrase, wandering officer, drifting from
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: team to team and the personal the personnel file is
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: sealed and failures are buried under experience.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: He's experienced.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: He's really good with a side of cow and protected
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: by the good old boys network of coaching. And they're
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: desperate and they just keep hiring these same people. This
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: isn't innovation. It's football nepotism. And there are some sauce
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: stains from the brisket. It's the Ben Mahlord Show. If
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: you'd like to be part, you can join us right.
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: Now at eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox.

• 22:20

  Speaker 1: All right, back to what we go and coming up

  Speaker 1: in a little bit the awkward super Bowl question?
• 25:53
  Speaker 5: But was it?
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: And Chris Collinsworth has upset some people this week here
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: at the Super Bowl as we are in San Francisco,
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: but not allowed.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: At Radio Row because we're the taboo overnight show.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: So we are broadcasting from a secret location somewhere not
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: that far away from where all the big events are.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: Later today getting no sleep at all, will be back
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: at that facility right there.
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, All right, we have comments coming in here.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: Let's see Steve Wright, since says, Ben, don't you think
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be a boring super Bowl? The network's wanted
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: the Rams Patriots la versus Boston. He says, well, the
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: Rams would have been. It would have been a better
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: storyline matchup with the Rams. You would have had the
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: top two quarterbacks in the regular season, Matthew Stafford, who's
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: obviously better than Sam Donald, and then you toss him
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: out there against Drake May. That would have been pretty good.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: Sean mcveay, you know, that would have been a rematch
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: to those teams played a couple of years ago in
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: the Super Bowl when Brady was and Belichick were still
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: there in New England.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: That would have had more Jews.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: He would had Puka Nakula, who's becoming a big star
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: and been very productive and all that. He would have
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: given you some juice, Jackson Smith and Jig, but he
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: hasn't really given you much anything. I would rather stare
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: at a wall than listen to Sam Donald talk. My god,
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: is this man boring?
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: Oh? My god?
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: Leader of men? Horrific, absolutely horrific. So yeah, it would
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: have been would have been better.
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: I don't know. They've been great.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: That's not get crazier the Patriots, for all their success,
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: there's not a lot a lot going on.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: Uh yeah, let's see who else. We have a Field Numb.
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: You know that's a legitimate, big time person. When their
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: name is feel Numb, you know that's big.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: So field Numb writes in and says, apparently Durant and
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: Lebron are ring chasers because they joined super teams. But
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: anybody that joins the Dodgers gets a pass. Okay, well
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: you probably not for you. You you like ripping these
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: guys care if they want to play for the Dodgers.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: I would want to work for the Dodgers because like
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: all these people that get all worked up on sports radios,
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, the Dodgers. They spend too much money
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: I want to work for. Maybe I'm a bad employee.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: I want my boss to spoil me. You probably don't
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: want your boss to spoil you. You're like, nah, you
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: know what I don't want.
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: I don't want all.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: These extra perks. I don't deserve the extra perks. I
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: would like to have them for the same exact job.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: You know, I understand there's a different world. You I'll
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: give an example. I my world in radio, doing the
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: overnight h I've been overnights for a long time is
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: much different than.
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: The world of radio. When you're on during the day,
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: you get treated better. I would like to be.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: I think you should spoil the overnight guy once in
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: a while. I think that would be nice, But that
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: normally doesn't happen. And that's the way these businesses operate.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: But if you have a chance to go to a
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: business that treats you the proper way, like the Dodgers do,
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: why would you not rather than play for the Pirates
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: of the A's or some like that. Yeah, anyway, Random
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: Ryan writes in from Carolina. He says, Ben, I'm sorry
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: I missed the first hour I was locked in on
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: the NASCAR Clash on Fox, which another guy named Ryan.
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: One. By the way, when did my taxes start? When
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: did my taxes? Then?
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: Did my taxes? He said, while listening to the Woodstock
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: ninety nine set from Limp Biscuit.
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: Buggety Buggay, Buggy Boggley, Bogglety Boggady.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: I'm glad that we now know everything that Random Ryan did.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: Is there any sport with more people named Ryan than NASCAR.
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: Seriously.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: Ferg Dog writes in from the winter wonderland of Fullerton,
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: he actually just put another log on the fire. So
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: cold there at Fullerton, and he says, I know you
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: don't do shout outs, Ben, and we don't. I do
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: do mentions, but I don't do shout outs, he says.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: He says, I'd like Ferg Dog wants to give a
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: shout out to Gunner? Can I it cannot. I'm sorry
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: Gunner at the Walmart there in Minnesota, and that all
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: your teams break your heart. I'm sorry about that. And
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: I can't say happy twenty ninth birthday to you, because
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: you know that's depressing. It's your last year in your twenties,
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: and then you become thirty. You're washed up. I mean,
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: my god, I'm still twenty eight. By the way, I
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: still act twenty eight. I don't how old I actually am,
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: but I'm still acting like twenty eight. That's I've decided.
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: I'm twenty eight, and that's where I'm at. Who else
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: do we have at this point? This is from Derek
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: and Buffalo, better known he's one of the great Bill's
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: Mafia guys. We got Bill's Mafia that are fans of
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: the show, the guys that jump on tables and do
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: all the crazy stuff. Anyway, Bill's Monster says at this point,
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: Nathaniel Hackett must have a USB labeled insurance on half
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: the league. He says, keeps getting jobs like it's a
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: rewards program. Coach terribly get fired, promoted, incredible run NFL logic.
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they really are.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: The way the NFL does business. And I guess you
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: could get away with it for the first seventy five
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: years of the NFL, maybe the first eighty five years
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: of the NFL. Do they not realize, like we all
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: are connected and we know these guys suck, and that
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: you're just rehiring trash with these other NFL teams.
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: You, I mean, it's it's wild. It is is insane
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: that this is still going on.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: There you go. Miguel on Fire says, you know you
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: sound a little sick. Ben, Time to suck on some garlic. Well,
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: thank you, Miguiel.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: I'm all right. I think I'm okay. G bananas rights in.
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: He says. Framber is a head case, but he's got
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: a great fastball in a curve.
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: As you said, arms were going to fail during spring training,
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: not to mention the premature injuries through the World Baseball Classic,
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: he could have gotten a bigger bag.
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's still gonna pay his bills.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: That was my advice, is you just wait and then
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: this guy's gonna end up needing Tommy John surgery.
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: That guy's gonna be down for the count. And that's that.
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: That's the that's the way it is.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: And nos Tradinis writes, and he says Ben is failing
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: to add adhering to the gambler's creed never bet against
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: the streak, and Sam is on a hot one. Well, no,
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: stre denas you clearly did not pay attention while the
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: Seahawks were winning all those games.
• 32:26

  Speaker 1: They pretty much banned me from going to those games
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: since they got Otani, So I don't even go to
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: the games anymore. I did for about thirty years of

  Speaker 1: sucked when I did the Dodger was why couldn't they won?
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: When I was there? They were so bad?
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: Uh, But they spent a lot of money like they
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: do now, except they they didn't win anything, and they
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: would make the playoffs and lose in the first round,
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: or they wouldn't even make the playoffs at all.
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: They were They were not good. When I was real
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: why you know why.
• 35:02
  Speaker 5: They didn't win? Man, Like you always said, money, miney money, money.
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: They spent they spent money. Now, Jerome, I want to
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: bring this up because I think you're the perfect person
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: to react to this.
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: So one of them now one of the stories, one
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: of the stories this week from the Super Bowl, Drake May.
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: You know who that is. You know who Drake Man is.
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: You're familiar with North Carolina. Okay, all right?
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: So Drake May was asked this week if he regrets
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: getting married so young. No, people are people are people?
• 35:36
  Speaker 5: Just don't answer that question.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: Well, there's only one way to answer the question, right,
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: you know. The way to answer the question is no,
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: I'm very happy I made the right decision. This is
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: my childhood sweetheart, you know all that stuff. They've been
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: together for a decade. He's not even that old, Drake May.
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: They've already been together for a decade. But I think
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: that's a legitimate question, Jerome, that's a question.
• 35:55
  Speaker 5: You never answered in front of your wife on TV.
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: But no, because.
• 36:01
  Speaker 5: I don't believe in marriage. Ben I got married one
• 36:04
  Speaker 5: time and it was a joke. I never I told
• 36:06
  Speaker 5: my mom I'll never get married again because I never
• 36:10
  Speaker 5: met anyone like her, I'll never get mad. I don't
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: want to be married, Okay, I don't believe in marriage.
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: No, no, no no, But you're not an athlete though,
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about the athlete lifestyle. Like to me, the
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: guy that did it the greatest was Derek Jeter. I
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: don't think anyone disagree with that. Like Jeter played in
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: New York. He had the gift baskets for the ladies,
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: you know, a nice parting gift after yeah, you go
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: to do whatever you're doing. And he always gave him
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: the gift basket. He never really ended up in the
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: tabloids that much. And then right when his career ended,
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: he got married. And then now he's got a family
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: like that was the perfect way to do it.
• 36:45
  Speaker 5: And his hair is falling off. But you know what
• 36:47
  Speaker 5: I tell you, when you get money and you're a
• 36:49
  Speaker 5: guy or a woman, make sure you get a prenup.
• 36:52
  Speaker 5: I got to answer something about Harden now that he's
• 36:54
  Speaker 5: been traded, the saving's been traded. What are we gonna do?
• 36:58
  Speaker 5: What are the ship clubs in? What are you gonna
• 37:00
  Speaker 5: do now? Man? Ben? Because I saw a story with
• 37:04
  Speaker 5: James hadd dumped a million dollars one million dollars in
• 37:09
  Speaker 5: one night in his trip clown.
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's I gotta let you go Jerome because I
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: got a clock issue.
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: But he's a legend. He's the goat of the ballet.
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: They're gonna miss him at the ballet for no, no,
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: no doubt about it. Oh, push back that Collinsworth story.

• 40:27
  Speaker 7: and seventeen, Wolves aren't far behind. Ben, do you think

• 40:33
  Speaker 1: Uh yeah, they seem like they're doing okay. We'll find
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: out in the playoffs. I guess Durant didn't want the

• 40:53
  Speaker 7: think that's true? Uh?
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean that's true. I think he was
