  Speaker 1: big Maller meet and greet takes place in Sin City.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: We'll be there from 3 to 5 at the Stakeout

  Speaker 1: Bar and Grill. Likely longer than that. So if you're

  Speaker 1: make sure to stop by for a brief visit and

  Speaker 1: hang out with us. Here in hour number three, is
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: the new Southeastern Conference ban officially? The Lane-Kiffin rule, the
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Southeastern Conference banning bounce-back NFL players, or should Lane consider
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: that a badge of honor in addition? Not only is
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: it the Lane-Kiffin rule, it's a badge of honor. We'll
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: talk about that. Do you think the Yankees in baseball,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: their skipper Aaron Boone, is a good manager for a
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: lucky manager, or simply Brian Cashman's security blanket, the general
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: manager there. Also, speaking of baseball, did Pat Murphy, skipper
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Pat Murphy, make the right call immediately by benching the Brewers'
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: prodigy Cooper Pratt for not running hard against the Mets
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: in a game played last night, or was that an
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: overreaction by the Brew crew's skipper? All of these stories
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: and more right now as we release the Kraken in
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: our number three. stopping the train. Now, it's hard to
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: stop a train on a dime, although they are attempting
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: to do that in real time. Welcome in the beginning
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: of another hour of the Ben Maller Show. We are

  Speaker 1: a little block party coming up in a little bit.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: But right now we begin this hour. We're going to
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: have some fried food, some southern fried football, a little
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: southern fried football. I'm fascinated by the story. We have
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: new developments here. The Southeastern Conference. Did you see this?
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: No?
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: You don't even know what I'm about to say, do you?
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: You do?
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Okay. Well, perhaps not. So the Southeastern Conference, better known
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: as the SEC, has added a new rule barring outlawing
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: certain former professional athletes, you know, like the guys that
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: went to the NFL and now want to go back.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: from competing in their particular conference. Now, following a move
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: similar to that, the Big Ten has also done this,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: but the SEC's the biggin', and the reason the Southeastern
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Conference is the biggin' is that move comes a day
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: after Lane Kiffin and LSU landed not one, but two
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: commitments from NFL rookies, tight end Daquan Wright, who played
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: for Lane Kiffin, Back in his days at Ole Miss.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: And Zavian Harris, a defensive tackle who had been in
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: NFL training camp. Now this created a hullabaloo. People are
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: very upset. How dare you? A lot of controversy here.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: What are you doing? Going on and on and on.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: NFL players should not be able to go back to college, etc., etc. Now,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: under the Southeastern Conference rule, a player is prohibited if
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: he has previously declared for the NFL draft, signed a
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: contract with an NFL or other professional football league, so
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: bad news for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, and appeared on
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: an NFL roster. So that's it. Ixnay on the college
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: career A if you end up on an NFL roster.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Seems like common sense for most. However, it's not a
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: done deal. Good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Is the new Southeastern Conference football ban officially the Lane-Kiffin rule?
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: And should Lane consider this a big badge of honor?
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: So I've got Rhodes Scholar, Late Night Infomercial, and Witch's Brew.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: And we'll combine all these for you. The Witch's Brew.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: So first of all, to answer the question, and we're
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: going to put all these together with a little sparkle thing.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: We'll do a little sparkle thing. So yes, to infinity
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: and beyond, the answer is yes. This is a gold
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: medal for the lane train. Yeah, the gold medal. Lane
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Kiffin is such a bad boy. Bad boys, bad boys.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: What you going to do? What you going to do
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: when they come for you? Well, we know what you're
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: going to do. Call an emergency meeting if you're the
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Southeastern Conference. That's exactly what happened this week. And so
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Lane Kiffin, this guy is a Rhodes Scholar at tickling.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: The fire-breathing dragon's tail. He tickles the dragon's tail is
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: what he does. And you know you have mastered the
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: dark arts of bending rules, as Lane Kiffin has done here,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: when they have to invent regulations. They have to add
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: red tape specifically to stop what you're doing. Pretty impressive. Now, meanwhile,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: all right, what did the SEC and the Big Ten
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: actually accomplish? And there were some other lesser leagues that
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: also banned these bounce-back players. So what did they accomplish?
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Capital B, Bupkis. Capital B, Bupkis. All right, that's it.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: They didn't solve the eligibility mess, and here's why. Let
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: me explain why. What they did is they took a baton,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: like a relay race, and they handed the baton to
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: a brigade of lawyers... And the lawyers, you can see
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: them if you look off to the right there, the
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: lawyers are licking their chops. And they're like, thank you.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: This is a buffet of billable hours. How effing lucky
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: are we? Billable, billable, billable, billable, billable, billable, billable hours. Wonderful.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: So get ready now for the inevitable return to a
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: courtroom steel cage match between the Southeastern Conference, the Big Ten, and...
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: And the players. I just want to play. And this
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: is the part of the story, if I read the
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: advanced script properly, this is the part of the story
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: where Louisiana State University, better known as LSU... goes out
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: shopping on the dark web, and they find a very
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: friendly judge, wink, wink, nudge, nudge, very friendly judge who's
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: licking their chops and saying, you know what, that's a
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: very nice buffet of those billable hours. I like that.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: That's very nice. So thank you. So we're going to
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: get this. We are going to get a return to court.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: College football is not governed by commissioners anymore. It is not.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: It is governed by whichever lawyer gets the next injunction.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: What's your function? That's what that's about. My function is
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: your injunction. Secondly, we go to baseball. The boogie down
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Bronx or the Yankees. All right, limping along there, not
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: having a lot of good times these days. The Yankee
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: offense is mostly futile. They did get Bellinger back, and
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: he had a belly bomb against the cheating Astros. Been
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: a lot of noise about the future of Aaron Boone.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: And is he or isn't he on the hot seat?
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: Inquiring minds would like to know. Now, the chatter is
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: even if the Yankees continue to go the wrong direction
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: and when we get to the month of October, they fizzle.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: Even if that happens. <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL>
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Of course, likely will not be a 2027. So Boone.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Is Brian Cashman's hand-picked skipper. And there are reports saying
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: that as long as the Yankees are a playoff team,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: they're not going to make any kind of change. So
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: the question, do you think Yankee skipper Aaron Boone is
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: a good manager, a lucky manager, or simply Brian Cashman's
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: security blanket? So that's the question. So Aaron Boone is
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: the ultimate M & M manager. M & M, what's that? mean?
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: He's a middle manager. He's obviously lucky because he's managing
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: the Yankees. If Aaron Boone had been hired to manage
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: the Kansas City Royals or the Minnesota Twins, he would
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: be back in broadcasting. He got the Yankee job. And
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: when you manage good players, you don't really have to
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: do much and things work out in your direction. So congratulations.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: But ultimately, he's an M & M manager, middle manager.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: That's what he is. And it's like Brian Cashman couldn't sleep.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: He had insomnia. And he cranked on the TV, and
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: he went on the channels. He was flipping around. He
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: found this late-night infomercial, and he said, well, I'm going
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: to buy something. Well, you don't need to buy anything.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: Why would you do that? Well, I want to buy something. Well,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: you shouldn't buy something. It's a waste of money. I'll
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: buy something. Why not? And he introduced a new item.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: It's a boonie snuggie. Yeah, the boonie snuggie is the
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: new item there. And Cashman loves the versatility. It's a
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: wearable blanket. And it's the managerial blanket, which is kind
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: of cool. It's got the oversized sleeves there, and it's
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: comfortable enough to absorb every October disaster, from Anthony Volpe
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: missing a play at shortstop to Aaron Judge butchering a
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: ball in the outfield to Garrett Cole not covering first base.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: My favorite inning of postseason baseball, the fifth inning of
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: Game 5 of the 2024 World Series, simply outstanding. Simply outstanding.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: And he continues on, Aaron Boone. Boone, in the postseason,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: has managed 52 games. Did you know that? You know
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: he has a losing record? Aaron Boone has a losing
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: record in the postseason as Yankee manager. A. 481 winning percentage.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: That's it. And the Yankees, with him, his Yankees have
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: authored the Great meltdown of our time. As I mentioned,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: Game 5 of the 2024 World Series, just simply outstanding.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: And Boone remains the Teflon Don. Nothing sticks. You just
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: continue on. Just la-la-la-la-la-la-la. Now, meanwhile, the spawn of George Steinbrenner.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: The kids are running the team, the Steinbrenner Ownership, LLC.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: And they have lowered the once-famous Yankee standards that we
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: need to win every year. We have to have success.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: We need to win championships. Once upon a time, long,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: long ago, the New York Yankees, if you failed in
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: October baseball, somebody was sent to the slaughterhouse. Somebody had
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: to pay the bill off in the manager. Now standards
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: have been lowered. As long as the Yankees make the playoffs...
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: They can hang another ribbon out in the outfield there.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: And right next to all the other legends, Monument Park,
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: they can put the participation ribbon right there at Yankee
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Stadium in the outfield and congratulate everyone on another successful season.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: Here's a box of donuts. The once mighty Yankees, the
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: gold standard for trying to win every season. are now
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: satisfied just merely making the playoffs and qualifying for the playoffs.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: That's all they need. <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL>
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: There you go. All right, final thought to Milwaukee via
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: New York. The Brew Crew playing the Metropolitans, a series
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: this week, and some interesting news coming out of there.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: I thought this was interesting. I wanted to share it
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: with you. So the top team in baseball, the Milwaukee Brewers,
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: their manager, Pat Murphy– benched the star shortstop, or at
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: least the guy they hope is going to be a star,
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: rookie shortstop, Cooper Pratt, for failing to run hard. Better
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: known as malfeasance. And this was during the fifth inning.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: It was a pop-up. Milwaukee lost the game in extra
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: innings to the Mets. But there was a pop-up there.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: The ball unexpectedly dropped between three Mets fielders, because of
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: course it did. It's the Mets. And Pratt, who decided,
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: I don't need to hustle. Hustling's overrated. So he let
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: the ball drop and thinking it wasn't going to drop,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: and he ended up with a rinky-dink single. Would have
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: gotten at least a double if he had actually run hard.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: He chose not to run hard, conserving his energy. So
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: that led to Pat Murphy, the brew crew manager there, Murph,
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: to say, all right, I'm taking you out of the
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: game immediately. Pinch runner. Get out of here. You're done.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: So they took him off the field. Murphy's message was
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: rather simple. It was, hey, you'd better run. That's it.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: You better run. And he later said major leaguers must
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: remain completely locked in. Okay. It's the dog days of
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: the baseball season. There's not a lot of locked in
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: going on right now in baseball. You had the Red Sox,
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: who didn't know how many outs there were. You had
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: the Seattle Mariners' latest superstar, who's not a superstar... On
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: the second out, tossed the ball into the stands because
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: he thought it was the third out. And there have
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: been all kinds of base-running blunders and whatnot. So, nonetheless,
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: all right, so here's the deal. The question on this one,
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: did manager Pat Murphy make the right call immediately benching
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: the Brewers' chosen one, their next prodigy, Cooper Pratt, for
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: not running hard, or was this an overreaction? By the
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: brew crew manager. I say bravo to Pat Murphy. On
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: this side of the microphone, I say bravo to Pat Murphy,
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: the brewer's skipper. He gets the coveted Malheur Gold Star.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: He gets the Malheur Gold Star for administering what I
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: call industrial strength, tough love. You got to do it.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: You got to do it. Honoring a fundamental... A fundamental
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: law of the baseball universe. If you don't run, put
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: your tuckus on the bench. Grab some bench. Grab some bench.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: And when did running hard... I don't know when this happened.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: It's obviously happened. When did running hard become advanced calculus
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: for these guys? There was a Red Sox player last week,
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: we talked about it on the show, who said he
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: has a hall pass to not hustle. Like, the Red
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Sox manager said, oh, yeah, you don't need to hustle
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: when you... Just conserve your energy. Okay, that seems really
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: messed up. So Murphy knows that in that business, there
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: are what we call non-negotiables. It's kind of like a relationship.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: You know how everyone has certain things you can't put
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: up with that you just have to punch. So the non-negotiables,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: you establish that in a relationship. Boundaries that you cannot cross.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: And it's pretty clear if you play for the Milwaukee
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: baseball team... You've got to work like a mule. You're
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: not playing for the Dodgers or the Yankees or the
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: Red Sox where you can be a slob and not
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: hustle and get away with it. In Milwaukee, you can't.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: It's not a country club. They don't have two planes
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: when the teams go on the road. One for the players.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: They segregate the players from the unwashed because they're such divas.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: They can't be around the unwashed. They don't do that
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: in every other major league city other than L.A., So
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: when you play for the Brewers, you've got to handle
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: the dirty dishes. You've got to do the laundry. You've
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: got to mop the floors, all that, clean the windows, vacuum.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: The little things, the little things determine the outcome. It's
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: clearly working. The Brewers have the top record in baseball.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: You've got to grind, scratch, claw, all those things. Maximum
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: effort and hustle, as we like to say, requires zero
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: athletic ability. And it doesn't matter how much money you
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: have or how little money you have in salary. And
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: you can't let this guy, Cooper Pratt, he's one of
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: these bonus babies. You can't let him float down the
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: lazy river simply because you gave him or the team
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: gave him $ 50 million sight unseen. And that's the investment.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: $ 50 million. It's an eight-year contract, $ 50 million. And I
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: believe he's sitting like $ 250 million. So no hall pass
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: for you. No hall pass for you. Now, the manager,
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: Pat Murphy, Murph, I like this guy. He mixed up
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: the perfect witch's brew, the perfect antidote. It's great for
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: lazy ball syndrome, LBS, lazy ball syndrome. You loaf, you sit,
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: and you can sip the witch's brew. Knock yourself out.
• 18:43

  Speaker 1: He might be hurt. Oh, no. I love Murphy. I

• 21:49
  Speaker 1: let me know. I would have gone. I would have
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: been there, but you didn't let me know about the
• 21:54

• 21:55
  Speaker 5: Otherwise– None of that this time.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: No, it happens. It happens. Anyway, that'll be coming up.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: All right, back to it. Here's the Mallor riddle of
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: the day. The Mallor riddle of the day. Former Alabama
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: coach Nick Saban said that he's learned how to play
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: blank in retirement. All right, what has he learned how
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: to play? The banjo from King Rory. What else do
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: we have? Late night drug tester says learn to play blank. Roblox,
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: that that's the answer. Who else? Page down. Cribbage from
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: Alf the Alien O'Piner. Let's see. Backgammon. The Game of Kings.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: My grandparents used to play backgammon, and I had no
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: idea what they were doing. Stevie Meatball says Mallard's Mountain
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: of Grabass is the correct answer. What else do we have?
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: Page down. I can't read that. Chutes and Ladders. From
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: Eek in Roseville, Minnesota. Can't say that one. What else
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: we got? A lot of dirty words. Tiddlywinks. My favorite game. Tiddlywinks.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: That is from JT. The wingman squirt gun fighting from
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: Donkey Sausage. Page down. Timmy from Busco, Indiana says he
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: learned to play Tiddlywinks in retirement. Fun game. Short stop
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: for the Dodgers from DJ Spin. Hey, listen, Patrick, I
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: know you're in San Diego. I would not be talking
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: trash right now considering the new owner of the Padres.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: Everyone's laughing at the Padres. Hopscotch guessed by Chip in
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: the Qs. That's his answer. Three-card Monty from the Pizza Papa.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: What else do we have? Can't read that. All right.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: Do you have an answer, Lorena? The Mallor riddle of
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: the day. Former Bama coach Nick Saban said he learned
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: how to play blank in retirement. Pigs.
• 23:52
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's like dice, but with pigs. And so if
• 23:56
  Speaker 6: they land on their feet, it's called a trotter. If
• 23:58
  Speaker 6: they land on their snout, it's called a snout. And
• 24:00
  Speaker 6: so you get different points for how the pigs land.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: Is this some kind of backwoods organ thing or something?
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: No, I actually learned it down here.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: I've played that before. Yeah, it's fun. All right, no,
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: the correct answer would be the game bridge, the card
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: game bridge. And Saban told the story, he said.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: He plays bridge with all these prim and proper, very
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: southern prim and proper women, which must be a freaking nightmare.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: And he says that his wife told him not to
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: talk crap. And so now he says, I'm not doing it.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: So he ends up talking crap. And now he says
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: he's got all these prim and proper southern women talking crap.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: So he was very proud of himself. for that move, clearly.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: Let's go to the international line real quick. Legally Blind
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: Christopher is in London. Hello, Legally Blind Christopher. Has your
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: life improved in amazing ways? When you left America, you
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: became an expat and moved across the Atlantic.
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: Well, Mr. Maller, I have to say thank you for
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: taking my call. I'm roasting over here. Could you please
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: send any air conditioning that's possible? We would appreciate air
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: in London. It's just unbearable with our heat. But, yes,
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: I am doing better. Thank you for that.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: They don't have the proper air conditioning that you need?
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: Is that the problem?
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: Oh, no, no, no. You have to see when... When
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: we hit 30 degrees Celsius or the traditional U.S. temperatures
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: of over 90, the majority of this country doesn't have
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: air conditioning. No, I'm sorry.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: It's just not needed. Well, you're an American, though. You're
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: an expat. Go buy an air conditioner. Come on.
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: I'd rather travel.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: They're not that expensive. Get one of those room air conditioners.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: They're not that much. You just sit in that room. Yeah.
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: I could consider that. But, you know, I'll just go
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: to a nice naked beach, you know, to enjoy it.
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: But that's beside the point.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: You're legally blind. You can't enjoy anything at a naked beach.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: You might as well go to a regular beach.
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: Well, I can have audio description. There's got to be
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: something here to help me.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: Is there an app for that?
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: This woman's... Be happy you're blind.
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: I got AI for that. That's no problem. But Mr. Maller.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: Mr. York would be widely accepted here in the United Kingdom.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: Why?
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: Similar to listening to your podcast. as it related to
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: the security personnel wiping it clean, if he got close
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: to the king and queen, hey, anything he does, as
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: long as it's not murder, they'd clean it up for him.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: Oh, Jed York, yeah, yeah. More importantly, what about Dan Snyder? Now,
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: Dan Snyder lives in London. You're like neighbors with Dan Snyder,
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: and no one's been able to see Dan Snyder. Could
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: you find Dan Snyder?
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: He's in an area that it takes four levels of
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: security to get through the gates to get to his property.
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: It is almost impossible.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: I mean, the fact of the matter is when they...
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: Go ahead, sir.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: Well, as you say, you do have to leave. Even
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: if you live in these big mansions, at some point
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: you have to go out into the real world. You
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: can't just hide the entire.
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: Oh, no, no, no. Things are delivered. That's not a problem.
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: Based on that kind of money and the servants that
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: he has, there would be no need.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: All right. Because I was going to send you over
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: to Dan Snyder's place to get him on my podcast,
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: do like the first interview with Dan Snyder in years
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: and see, you know, what's it like in London? You know,
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: do you like the cigarettes there? What do you like?
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: So, yeah. I imagine he's enjoying the fine quality of
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: the food and, of course, our wine. I mean, we
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: can import anything that you want and you could definitely
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: have everything you need. And as I heard on your
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: show that he's traveling all over on his boat, there's
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: a lot of beautiful places you can enjoy. And right
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: now is our main summer holiday period.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, for sure. Enjoy. Go enjoy. Summer here, obviously,
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: as well. All right, well, thanks for checking in. Don't
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: be a stranger. We love you, Legally Blind Christopher, so
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: don't be a stranger.
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: Well, thank you so much for taking my call.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: There he goes. All right, there he goes. Where he goes,
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Game show time, game show time, game
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: show time, game show time, game show time, game show time!
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: We've endured too many of these. Is it too much
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: or not enough? Enough already. And we're going to the
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: Heavy hitters. The Hall of Famer. We're grabbing a vine.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: We're going in the jungle with Manuel Ingardina. Hello, Manuel. Welcome.
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: Benny Blocks and Burf Box, Benny Bloke and Sherman Oaks. Hey,
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: I think your information was wrong about Saban. I heard
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: he learned how to play the flesh flute.
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: Just saying.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: Well, that's a different kind of game.
• 28:36
  Speaker 5: I haven't heard of that instrument. I used to play
• 28:39
  Speaker 5: the regular flute. Wasn't really good at it, though.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: In band camp? When you were in band camp?
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: Hey, don't knock it till you try it.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: All right. Well, hey. Let's play the game. Manuel is
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: a legendary caller to talk radio. You know his work.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: Here we go. Question number one. All the answers are
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: too much or not enough. They get three right to win.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: The Phillies have had four wins this season when trailing
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: with two outs and two strikes in the ninth inning.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: Is that too much or not enough?
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: I'm going to say that is way too much.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: No, it's actually not. It's not enough. They have had five.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: That is the most since pitches were first tracked in 1988.
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: That's unfortunate. I hate the Phillies.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: Question two. I still can close my eyes, Manuel, and
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: see Matt Stairs hit that ball halfway up the pavilion.
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: I can still see the 83 Phillies beating.
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: Us, man.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: There you go. You go back. Back to the day.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: All right, question two. Pete Alonzo, the polar bear, just
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: became the seventh player in baseball history to hit 30
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: home runs in at least seven of his first eight seasons.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: Is that too much or not enough?
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: Let's keep going to the bell. It's going to be
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: too much.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: Let's find out. That is correct. Too much. He's only
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: the fifth player to do it. Joining Albert Pujols, who
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: did it all eight, Ralph Kiner, Eddie Matthews, and Mark Teixeira.
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: That's a hell of a list.
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: Even Tex, man.
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: Tex was a good ball player.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he had some good years. Question number three. There
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: were eight quarterbacks who threw for over 4,000 yards last
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: season in the NFL. Is that too much or not enough?
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: I'm saying too much.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: Let's find out. That is correct. There were only six.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: You're doing very well, Manuel and Gardena. One more correct answer.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: You win our game. One more.
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: Hey, yes. But, you know, losing ain't bad because I
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: always want nothing.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: And we are the show that gives you nothing. We
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: have no budget, so we'll give you nothing. And we'll
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: give you a lot of nothing and a lifetime supply
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: to nowhere.
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: That's your consolation prize. Question number four. How's work, by
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: the way, man? Everything good with work, yes?
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: Oh, beautiful, man. You know, longshore shipping industry's beautiful. Plumbing
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: industry's beautiful.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: Good.
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: Can't complain, my man.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: Good. Okay. The Chicago Cubs have now scored 25 unanswered
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: runs over the last three games. The Cubs. Is that
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: too much or not enough for the win?
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: Not enough.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: Let's find out. Winner, winner, winner. Chicken dinner. Congratulations. I've
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: got a golden ticket. Cubs have scored 30 unanswered runs.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: Holy Andre Dawson, Batman, setting a franchise record. Where have
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: you gone? Where have you gone?
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: Joe Girardi and Damon Berryhill are toasting a beer to that.

• 31:57

  Speaker 1: Well, her trailer.
• 34:31
  Speaker 6: My dad found out I was there one day. He

  Speaker 6: was there in less than four minutes. He was like, oh.

  Speaker 5: Heck no.
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: Hell no.

  Speaker 6: we used to do fake sex phone calls.

  Speaker 1: To guys that we knew. Troublemaker.

  Speaker 5: We would pretend to be phone call operators. Yeah, no,

  Speaker 1: for a woman? Great question.
• 35:26

  Speaker 6: they require a lot of work.
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: What about the tulips here? Sunflower?

  Speaker 6: Tulips are good, but tulips have a time of year.
• 36:08
  Speaker 6: Like tulips are very Easter-y flowers.
• 36:10
  Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying? Like I wouldn't expect to
• 36:12
  Speaker 5: get tulips.

  Speaker 1: Leprechaun writes in. He says, what would Lorena do? Not Jesus.
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: Your boyfriend is hot, hot, hot, but he smells bad, bad, bad, bad, bad,

  Speaker 1: meaning the armpits and all that. What's your move on that? Like,
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: this guy's like the super hot guy.

  Speaker 5: I've had this problem.
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: Oh, you have? You've had a smelly boyfriend?
• 38:27
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and it's not good, right?
• 38:30
  Speaker 6: And it's hard because you don't want to be rude,

  Speaker 1: What?
• 38:58
  Speaker 5: Sometimes you need to scrub between your toes.
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: Isn't that kind of a curse, though? If you date
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: a really attractive person and their breath smells like ass,
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: it's very difficult, right? Oh, it's so bad. This job
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: is not that easy.

• 39:13
  Speaker 6: So they can't even just brush their teeth or clean

  Speaker 6: their mouth or brush their tongue. It comes from the
