- 2:34Speaker 1: It's very yummy. I completely concur very very yummy. So
- 2:39Speaker 1: I lead this hour from the swap meet. We are
- 2:42Speaker 1: getting real close now to pens down and the music stops.
- 2:49Speaker 1: Grab a chair and that's it. A lot of chatter
- 2:53Speaker 1: out of Motown. Epic choke job by the hometown team
- 2:57Speaker 1: there and a day game against the Oriole but Monday
- 3:01Speaker 1: deadline rapidly approaching, and the Tigers are sliding further under
- 3:06Speaker 1: five hundred, and with their ace in the whole Treek
- 3:09Speaker 1: school on the mound, they blew a seven run lead.
- 3:13Speaker 1: I believe in that game, a two time al Cy
- 3:16Speaker 1: Young winner, and most important to our little conversation here,
- 3:20Speaker 1: a pending free agent. You know what that means? Yes,
- 3:24Speaker 1: he now becomes the top rental on the mark, the
- 3:29Speaker 1: top rental target, I think high end Airbnb verbo like
- 3:35Speaker 1: a presidential suite type set up. Now he made what
- 3:40Speaker 1: is likely his last start in that game on Wednesday.
- 3:43Speaker 1: So if you've not heard the latest on this, perhaps not.
- 3:45Speaker 1: Multiple teams are on the prowl. They're bird dogging, bird
- 3:51Speaker 1: dogging the man, the myth, the legend. So that would
- 3:56Speaker 1: be the Dodgers, the Yankees, the Atlanta Braves, and the
- 3:59Speaker 1: Tampa Bays, all pursuing the aforementioned school ball. Now we've
- 4:04Speaker 1: learned that most Major League teams. The consensus is by
- 4:08Speaker 1: popular people, the popular pick by the popular people is
- 4:11Speaker 1: that Schooble is going to end up with the g
- 4:17Speaker 1: e RS Dodgers. That that is going to be where
- 4:21Speaker 1: he lands here. To close out the twenty twenty six season,
- 4:24Speaker 1: the Dodgers will acquire the top pitcher on the Detroit
- 4:29Speaker 1: baseball team, Terrek schoobook La considered the most likely destination
- 4:35Speaker 1: if you look at your GPS here because supposedly they
- 4:39Speaker 1: have good minor league players. You know, a prospect is
- 4:42Speaker 1: a suspect and to approve and otherwise I trade all
- 4:45Speaker 1: my prospects to get this guy. I don't care. You
- 4:47Speaker 1: get new prospects every year. They have endless amounts of money.
- 4:51Speaker 1: They got all that Japanese money because of Otani and
- 4:54Speaker 1: a desire to fatten up the rotation because it does
- 4:58Speaker 1: seem like Otani's not going to be some you can
- 5:00Speaker 1: depend on. He's not going to be a tent pole
- 5:03Speaker 1: in the playoffs. As Dodgers try to come the first
- 5:05Speaker 1: team since the Yankees to win three World Series in
- 5:08Speaker 1: a row, you already at two in the hole, not
- 5:11Speaker 1: trying to get another one. So people are freaking out.
- 5:13Speaker 1: Of course, the mere chatter, the mere speculation, the rumor
- 5:17Speaker 1: that Terrek School is gonna end up in LA has
- 5:21Speaker 1: people needing a therapy dog because they're very upset by this.
- 5:24Speaker 1: Oh my god, they're ruining baseball so bad. Oh so terraball,
- 5:29Speaker 1: they're ruining our sport of baseball. Yeah, a bunch of
- 5:33Speaker 1: cry babies. So yeah, exactly. So that's a good jumping
- 5:36Speaker 1: off point. Let us discuss the question should the Dodgers
- 5:40Speaker 1: hold off? Should the Dodgers hold off on the pursuit
- 5:44Speaker 1: of Trek School with a pitcher from Detroit, just to
- 5:48Speaker 1: spare the hurt feelings of these other teams. So my
- 5:52Speaker 1: thoughts on this, I've got Disneyland, school Bus and rebroadcast
- 5:58Speaker 1: and we'll put them all together. Yeah there, and we're
- 6:00Speaker 1: gonna make some Detroit style pizza. Now. My entire life,
- 6:04Speaker 1: up until a couple years ago, I didn't even know
- 6:05Speaker 1: there was a thing called Detroit style pizza. I had
- 6:08Speaker 1: Chicago style, had New York style peachs, but only like
- 6:10Speaker 1: a few years back that we had Detroit style for
- 6:12Speaker 1: the first time. And it's good. It's good, it's fine anyway,
- 6:16Speaker 1: a right, So to begin the rantier, should the Dodgers
- 6:19Speaker 1: hold off on the Trek Schooble trade because people are
- 6:23Speaker 1: going to lose their mind if they get this guy.
- 6:27Speaker 1: My response to that, I have for words. You've got
- 6:31Speaker 1: to be joking Okay, you've got to be joking about
- 6:34Speaker 1: this now. Last I checked. And I might be wrong
- 6:36Speaker 1: on this. I've been out there a while, been banned
- 6:38Speaker 1: shadow bands since so Tony got there. But I believe
- 6:40Speaker 1: the Dodgers are not running a nonprofit organization. I don't
- 6:44Speaker 1: think that's the case. Now, why on earth should they care?
- 6:49Speaker 1: The LA Baseball team care about upsetting the other teams currently,
- 6:53Speaker 1: who I believe are lobbying for a salary cap. Like,
- 6:57Speaker 1: if the rest of the league is crying about you,
- 7:01Speaker 1: that is a badge of honor, is it not? Does
- 7:04Speaker 1: anyone disagree? I don't see anyone raising their right that
- 7:06Speaker 1: is badge of honor. It just means that you're doing
- 7:09Speaker 1: things the right way. And these small budget, tight wad
- 7:13Speaker 1: whiny teams are literally trying to rewrite the MLB bylaws
- 7:19Speaker 1: in part to stop the big blue wrecking crew. So
- 7:22Speaker 1: why would you play nice? Yeah? They all want to
- 7:24Speaker 1: make more money, and they then want anyone know how
- 7:27Speaker 1: much money they actually make. So they figure out we've
- 7:30Speaker 1: bet a cap, we'll make more money, and we'll also
- 7:31Speaker 1: stop the Dodgers. It's double your pleasure, double your fun.
- 7:34Speaker 1: So go get Scoogle and I would go out here
- 7:39Speaker 1: if I'm the Dodger knowing that there's going to be
- 7:41Speaker 1: either be no season in twenty twenty seven or there's
- 7:43Speaker 1: going to be a long stoppage in twenty twenty seven,
- 7:46Speaker 1: and there's a whole different set of rules going forward,
- 7:50Speaker 1: So go full Disneyland as in the Magical Kingdom Firework Display.
- 7:55Speaker 1: I'm talking Fourth of July Grand Finale style. Go out
- 8:02Speaker 1: with a Blazer glory I trade for Schoobl. I would
- 8:06Speaker 1: go out and get two other All Stars if I could,
- 8:09Speaker 1: just to watch the jealous teams and their fan bases
- 8:12Speaker 1: melt down on social media like toddlers denied a pudding dessert.
- 8:17Speaker 1: You don't get any pudding. I want pudding. I need
- 8:20Speaker 1: my pudding. No, you don't get any pudding. So let
- 8:23Speaker 1: the rest of the league write the angry emails to
- 8:27Speaker 1: the commissioner and all that stuff, and all the blowhards
- 8:30Speaker 1: and the media make them. We go for it. Now,
- 8:33Speaker 1: speaking of go for it, the new York baseball team.
- 8:38Speaker 1: If you like their trainer's room, it's it's Phil. It's
- 8:41Speaker 1: got Aaron judge On, Carlos Stanton and Cody Bellinger. The
- 8:44Speaker 1: Bronx Bombers getting desperate for reinforcement. Now the way we
- 8:50Speaker 1: hear it the Yankees. The latest chatter out of New
- 8:53Speaker 1: York is the Yankees would love to add Blue Jays
- 8:59Speaker 1: outfield George Springer before Monday's deadline. Say what, Yeah, well
- 9:07Speaker 1: they need a right handed bat, so I guess they'll
- 9:10Speaker 1: take anybody. The question, would Toronto's George Springer be a
- 9:16Speaker 1: good fit in the Bronx zoo? So on our scorecard,
- 9:23Speaker 1: we snamp this on our scorecard. Rejected is what we did. Now,
- 9:27Speaker 1: I have no skin in the game, not a Yankee guy,
- 9:29Speaker 1: not a Blue Jay guy. But as I learned from
- 9:32Speaker 1: Missus Frizzle from the Magic school Bus, taught me that
- 9:37Speaker 1: you don't let a falling star fall on you. At
- 9:41Speaker 1: thirty six, Springer is not just washed. He has been
- 9:45Speaker 1: pressure washed, spin cycled, and left out to dry on
- 9:49Speaker 1: the clothes line. Mostly a DH at this point, mostly
- 9:53Speaker 1: a DH. His bat has regressed. He is now a
- 9:57Speaker 1: league average player offense. This is not an impact pat.
- 10:03Speaker 1: It's a jag, just a guy. And then there's the
- 10:06Speaker 1: medical rap sheet, which in recent years is longer than
- 10:10Speaker 1: the line at Katz's Delhi for lunchtime. If you know
- 10:14Speaker 1: what I'm talking about there in New York. Crack tow check,
- 10:18Speaker 1: knee soreness check check, oblique string check check check, concussions
- 10:24Speaker 1: check check check check. He's basically a commemora of Bobblehead
- 10:28Speaker 1: with a limp at this point, Springer is. And finally,
- 10:31Speaker 1: let's not forget the overweight baggage fees from Delta Airlines.
- 10:35Speaker 1: That Duffel bag is overflowing because he is forever a
- 10:40Speaker 1: cheating astro. He's got those cooties. He's got the cooties.
- 10:45Speaker 1: He does you can laugh at me. He's got the cooties.
- 10:48Speaker 1: Springer was not just a small part of that despicable
- 10:53Speaker 1: team of twenty seventeen. He was a core piece of
- 10:57Speaker 1: the cheating as you remember the electric tress stealing the
- 11:00Speaker 1: trash cans, the buzzers or the whistles, all that stuff.
- 11:04Speaker 1: This guy was so dirty. How dirty was he? Thanks
- 11:08Speaker 1: for asking? He was so dirty that he won the
- 11:11Speaker 1: World Series MVP for a team of cheats. So he
- 11:14Speaker 1: was like the king cheat. He was like at the
- 11:18Speaker 1: very top of the pyramid of cheat. Like it doesn't
- 11:22Speaker 1: get any higher of cheat than if you're the World
- 11:24Speaker 1: Series MVP on a team that is actively cheating, so
- 11:27Speaker 1: much so it was in the MLB produced World Series
- 11:31Speaker 1: video the table they put up to cheat just near
- 11:35Speaker 1: the dugout. So that's the guy. You want that guy?
- 11:39Speaker 1: I don't want that guy. I want nothing to do
- 11:41Speaker 1: with that guy. Nothing right, And he received immunity the
- 11:47Speaker 1: cheating a hole George Springer because he cooperated and also
- 11:51Speaker 1: because Rob Manford is a toothless, gutless commissioner. However, the scandal,
- 11:57Speaker 1: the scandal remains radio active, all right, because he's radioating.
- 12:02Speaker 1: The toxicity is unforgivable, and the real Yankee officionados want
- 12:07Speaker 1: nothing to do with him. You know, some fake fraud
- 12:11Speaker 1: Yankee people that just bought their jersey and they have
- 12:13Speaker 1: to tag on it and all that. All right. Last
- 12:16Speaker 1: word to Philadelphia. We go, the city of brotherly love,
- 12:21Speaker 1: and right now bad baseball, the fighting Phils coming apart
- 12:25Speaker 1: at the seams in front of our eyes. What happened?
- 12:28Speaker 1: They've now lost nine of twelve games, which I don't
- 12:32Speaker 1: think is good. I didn't play in the major leagues.
- 12:34Speaker 1: I just don't think that's good. Oh you're being mean
- 12:37Speaker 1: malor Yeah, I know. And they're hanging on right now,
- 12:40Speaker 1: the Phillies by their fingernails. So we can now add
- 12:44Speaker 1: on to that some drama orama. Bryce Harper has entered
- 12:50Speaker 1: the chat. Now. Bryce Harper recently made a plea to
- 12:55Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Phillies front office, namely Dave Dombrowski. We have
- 12:59Speaker 1: the audio tape. Here's Bryce Harper commenting on the situation
- 13:04Speaker 1: for the fight and Phills. Take a listen.
- 13:06Speaker 3: Do you think this is the lineup or tea would
- 13:08Speaker 3: be good pitching in October? Because presumably, come on Toober,
- 13:12Speaker 3: you guys will see quite a.
- 13:13Speaker 1: Bit of it.
- 13:14Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I think we need some help, you know,
- 13:17Speaker 4: But then I think we've proved, you know, pretty much
- 13:19Speaker 4: all year. We've we've done a pretty good job. But
- 13:22Speaker 4: you know, anytime you can, you know, get some help
- 13:24Speaker 4: in here and reinforcements, I think it helps.
- 13:26Speaker 5: Do you think that help would be best coming in
- 13:30Speaker 5: the form of an arm or bad I.
- 13:32Speaker 4: Think both, you know. I think obviously everybody knows what
- 13:36Speaker 4: we need. So I think I've I've said it over
- 13:38Speaker 4: the last couple of days.
- 13:40Speaker 1: All right, so Bryce over those three words need some help.
- 13:43Speaker 1: And then he repeated it, and he's the Phillies apparently
- 13:46Speaker 1: are so bad that they need reinforcements on offense and
- 13:50Speaker 1: on the pitching staff. That comment rubbed the front office
- 13:55Speaker 1: the wrong way to irritated some big shots there with
- 13:58Speaker 1: the Phillies. They had their panties in a we have
- 14:01Speaker 1: learned now that Harper's remarks, Well, it turns out that
- 14:04Speaker 1: this is part of a long cold war. Oh I
- 14:08Speaker 1: love a good cold war. With the President of Baseball
- 14:12Speaker 1: Ops formerly known as a GM, Dave Dombrowski. You might
- 14:15Speaker 1: remember we talked a lot about this last last October.
- 14:19Speaker 1: I believe it was when Don Browski questioned whether Harper
- 14:23Speaker 1: was still elite and whether he remains in that upper
- 14:28Speaker 1: tier of players in baseball. Well, so that was the response.
- 14:34Speaker 1: Now we have Don Mattingly, who's the manager. His kid
- 14:39Speaker 1: is the GM, which doesn't have much muscle compared to Dombrowski.
- 14:42Speaker 1: But here's Don Maddingly. He was asked about Bryce Harper
- 14:46Speaker 1: publicly saying the team is not good enough, they suck
- 14:49Speaker 1: and they need help both pitching and offense. Here's maddingly
- 14:52Speaker 1: to say something.
- 14:54Speaker 6: About our team.
- 14:57Speaker 1: Then you're saying something about warn Bob players. You don't
- 15:01Speaker 1: like him to feel that we need to talk to him,
- 15:03Speaker 1: and you don't, not really, I mean, Bryce is Bryce.
- 15:06Speaker 6: He's gonna say what he wants it, So I'm not
- 15:08Speaker 6: really concerned about it. I just take it kind of
- 15:12Speaker 6: with a grand salt and knowing how players are over
- 15:16Speaker 6: the years, I heard this.
- 15:18Speaker 7: That's not the first.
- 15:19Speaker 6: Time I've heard this.
- 15:21Speaker 7: You know, we need, we need. I always look at
- 15:25Speaker 7: it like, internally, you know, I gotta get better. We
- 15:30Speaker 7: got to get better. And that's simple as.
- 15:34Speaker 1: That, all right. So we actually had our mic was
- 15:38Speaker 1: over in Maldova, so it was a boom mic from Maldova,
- 15:42Speaker 1: so you could barely hear it. Maddingly, we like to
- 15:44Speaker 1: make you turn up the sound just to challenge you
- 15:46Speaker 1: a little bit while you're listening to the show. So
- 15:48Speaker 1: the question are the Phillies cooked? Because Bryce Harper and
- 15:52Speaker 1: Dave don Browski are at Loggerheads and this is the
- 15:57Speaker 1: palace intrigue of it all. So my response is I
- 16:01Speaker 1: have a n absolutely not. This is just a couple
- 16:05Speaker 1: of rich dudes arguing over who gets the bigger mirror
- 16:09Speaker 1: so they can navel gaze. That's what this is about, now,
- 16:12Speaker 1: Dave don Browski did not disrespect Bryce Harper. He committed
- 16:17Speaker 1: the cardinal sin of telling the truth. He was trying
- 16:20Speaker 1: to poke the bear. Don Browski figured, I know what
- 16:23Speaker 1: I'm I'm gonna motivate. I'm gonna want a fire under
- 16:26Speaker 1: Bryce Harper, and I'm gonna poke the bear is what
- 16:30Speaker 1: I'm going to do. And so he tried that and
- 16:35Speaker 1: well didn't go so well. As it turned out. He
- 16:39Speaker 1: did not kiss the imaginary ring of Bryce Harper, and
- 16:43Speaker 1: people were shocked by that. And so Harper went full
- 16:45Speaker 1: Guy Fieri, stirring up drama and the drama pot, stir
- 16:51Speaker 1: of the pot, stir of the pot, stir of the pot.
- 16:53Speaker 1: And he has this season. Up until this point, Bryce
- 16:56Speaker 1: Harper has somehow managed to drop a essentially a carbon
- 17:01Speaker 1: copy performance the Evil Twin of last season. Offensively, he's
- 17:06Speaker 1: essentially the same exact player he was last year. There's
- 17:09Speaker 1: no regression, there's no progression. He's exactly the same. Think
- 17:13Speaker 1: of this like it's like a rebroadcast, except without the
- 17:17Speaker 1: express written conseet of Major League Baseball which is not allowed.
- 17:20Speaker 1: I'm sorry. So look, I point this out all the time.
- 17:24Speaker 1: There's this belief that everyone who's on a team has
- 17:26Speaker 1: to get together and they have to love each other
- 17:29Speaker 1: and be lifetime friends. And it's just not reality. It's
- 17:33Speaker 1: much more complicated than that. It's work friends, it's not
- 17:37Speaker 1: real friends. It's the Major League Baseball version of sharing
- 17:41Speaker 1: a cubicle, is what it is. And in my early days,
- 17:44Speaker 1: I covered some teams and I was doing the radio
- 17:47Speaker 1: stringing thing, and I was in locker rooms all the time.
- 17:49Speaker 1: And I have told this story a few times over
- 17:51Speaker 1: the years. But I was around the La Clippers of
- 17:53Speaker 1: the nineties and they had really popular, good players, talented
- 17:57Speaker 1: college players. They all liked each other. They just couldn't
- 18:00Speaker 1: play basketball together. But they hung out. They hung out
- 18:02Speaker 1: together on the road. They had a great time. They
- 18:04Speaker 1: you know, everyone loved each other, and they just sucked
- 18:07Speaker 1: for forty eight minutes when they got on the court.
- 18:09Speaker 1: That happens a lot in basketball, in particular, like the
- 18:11Speaker 1: Celtics Jason Tatum and Jaylen Brown didn't really like each other,
- 18:13Speaker 1: they won a lot of games, won a championship. Kobe
- 18:15Speaker 1: and Shack the most famous example of that in baseball.
- 18:19Speaker 1: There have been examples the Yankees back in the olden
- 18:22Speaker 1: days with this guy named Billy Martin and Reggie Jackson,
- 18:26Speaker 1: and they were at each other's necks and they had
- 18:29Speaker 1: some success together. And so it's not out of the ordinary.
- 18:34Speaker 1: It's normal workplace tension is the way I would file that,
- 18:37Speaker 1: and friction at the office in this case the stadium.
- 18:41Speaker 1: It's only a problem if you lose. If you succeed,
- 18:45Speaker 1: it's just a nice subplot in the book. It's chapter
- 18:48Speaker 1: seven of the book. Winning. Winning cures pretty much everything.
- 18:55Speaker 1: And if you lose and it doesn't work out, then
- 18:58Speaker 1: you get a Flicks docu series on the unraveling of
- 19:03Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Phillies, the downfall of Bryce Harper, and those
- 19:07Speaker 1: are the kind of things you get. It is the
- 19:09Speaker 1: Ban Mahlor Show. As we are just beginning. If you
- 19:12Speaker 1: would like to be part of the festivus of talk here,
- 19:16Speaker 1: we will open all the lines open sesame, open, sesame,

- 21:16Speaker 9: you don't get enough Covino and Rich, make sure you
- 21:19Speaker 9: check out over Promised and also Uncensored by the way,

- 21:24Speaker 9: It's gonna be the best after show podcast of all time.
- 21:26Speaker 9: There you go, over Promising, and remember you could see

- 21:38Speaker 1: Every once in a while we have a Malord meet
- 21:40Speaker 1: and greet. We've done two of them this year. We
- 21:43Speaker 1: had the big Ohio Northern Kentucky meet and greet, which
- 21:46Speaker 1: was a lot of fun. That was the hooton Nanny
- 21:48Speaker 1: with Dick and Dayton. Had a great time there. And
- 21:51Speaker 1: then we had our Boston that suit well three, we
- 21:54Speaker 1: had the Boston meet and greet and then that was
- 21:56Speaker 1: after a Red Sox game, and then the Wooster get together. Yeah,
- 22:02Speaker 1: there's a lot of fun, a lot of fun there.
- 22:04Speaker 1: And the next event. The next event is going to
- 22:08Speaker 1: be on August twenty ninth, so we are getting closer
- 22:13Speaker 1: and closer to that saved that day. It's gonna be
- 22:15Speaker 1: in Lost Wages, Nevada, and we'll do it me afternoon.
- 22:19Speaker 1: We'll give you more information when we get closer to it.
- 22:21Speaker 1: It's gonna be at a little bar we go to
- 22:23Speaker 1: all the time there, just across from UNLV. So I
- 22:28Speaker 1: think this could be the biggest one yet. I don't know.
- 22:31Speaker 1: But why do you say that, Coop, Why would you
- 22:33Speaker 1: say this is going to be the biggest one. What
- 22:35Speaker 1: do you think is the reasoning is that because Robbie's
- 22:38Speaker 1: going to be there, you're taking a shot at Robbie.
- 22:39Speaker 1: I feel like you're taking a shot at rob Is
- 22:42Speaker 1: that a shot? No? I mean, okay, look, Robbie's part
- 22:45Speaker 1: of it.
- 22:45Speaker 5: I just I've seen lots of people, including Robbie, say
- 22:48Speaker 5: that they're going to show up.
- 22:50Speaker 1: All right, Well, I hope. I had a great time
- 22:53Speaker 1: in Cincinnati with Robbie, Queen rox In and can't close
- 22:57Speaker 1: the deal, Neil and all that, Timmy from Atlanta. We
- 22:59Speaker 1: had a great time there. I don't think I'll be
- 23:02Speaker 1: cavorting around Vegas after the event with any listeners. I
- 23:05Speaker 1: don't plan on doing that, but you never know. Plans
- 23:07Speaker 1: can change, plans can change, and so that may happen.
- 23:10Speaker 1: So we'll we'll see what takes place there. We began
- 23:13Speaker 1: this hour the Baseball Hour kind of well, in theory,
- 23:18Speaker 1: it's the Baseball Hour. As we began here, you happen
- 23:22Speaker 1: the Dodgers said to be on the prowl for the
- 23:27Speaker 1: man the myth, the legend Trek School of the Detroit
- 23:31Speaker 1: Tigers as a rental, and then who knows what's gonna
- 23:35Speaker 1: happen after that, because there likely won't be any baseball
- 23:38Speaker 1: for at least the first part of twenty twenty seven,
- 23:41Speaker 1: which means if you're not under contract, well you're at
- 23:45Speaker 1: the mercy of whatever the new rules are next season.
- 23:49Speaker 1: So it's gonna be an interesting few months there once
- 23:52Speaker 1: they work all of that stuff out, Once they work
- 23:55Speaker 1: all that stuff out Withink your calls eight seven seven
- 23:58Speaker 1: ninety nine, All Fox. That's eight seven seven nine nine
- 24:03Speaker 1: six six three sixty nine. Also coming up in a bit.
- 24:06Speaker 1: It's a bug. It's a hug bug, is what it is?
- 24:10Speaker 1: A hugbug? What is that all about? We'll get to
- 24:13Speaker 1: that coming up in a couple minutes. What do we
- 24:16Speaker 1: have you to see? Ivan the Terrible says that the
- 24:21Speaker 1: cheaters want their cheating god back. Says they hope to
- 24:25Speaker 1: get George Springer back. So that's Ivan boots on the
- 24:28Speaker 1: ground in the despicable Astro fan base there as the
- 24:34Speaker 1: he wants that scum Springer back in Houston. Good luck
- 24:38Speaker 1: on that. You can have him truck stop Fungus right,
- 24:41Speaker 1: since says it's gonna be a good show tonight. Thanks
- 24:42Speaker 1: for making me deaf. Yeah, that's just one segment. Of
- 24:46Speaker 1: talk radio made truck stop fungus death as he sits
- 24:50Speaker 1: at a sleazy hotel somewhere in the boondocks in his
- 24:55Speaker 1: tidy whities and only his tidy whities, eating a bowl
- 24:58Speaker 1: of chili. Yeah, that's that's outstanding, Absolutely absolutely outstanding. Yeah,
- 25:07Speaker 1: Jackie writes in and apparently it agrees with my take.
- 25:12Speaker 1: I think it's a lot of gibbers here. I think
- 25:15Speaker 1: Jackie fell out of school in like the second grade,
- 25:17Speaker 1: so it's hard to understand because the punctuation and all that.
- 25:21Speaker 1: The spelling is not that great. But I think Jackie
- 25:24Speaker 1: said that George Springer is like a hemorrhoid and nobody
- 25:27Speaker 1: likes hemorrhoids, and I agree. I don't know anyone that says, boy,
- 25:31Speaker 1: I hope I get hemorrhoids and it's similar to George Springer.
- 25:34Speaker 1: I don't know anybody says, boy I wish I had
- 25:36Speaker 1: George Springer, just it's a synonym for hemorrhoid, George Springer.
- 25:40Speaker 1: It is, yeah, barbecueing something the other day for yes,
- 25:46Speaker 1: you saw what did you see? Like hemorrhoids? Support? Was
- 25:50Speaker 1: that an advertising Amazon bins? I was like, oh, okay, interesting, Yeah,
- 25:57Speaker 1: it had one of those, well, something to look forward to.
- 26:00Speaker 1: Life goals. If you live long enough, you'll have that barbecuing,
- 26:03Speaker 1: Len writs, and he says, arg the Dodgers, Well, if
- 26:07Speaker 1: you're going to sell a rental, you're going with the
- 26:10Speaker 1: best offer, which means this gives all the rest. The
- 26:12Speaker 1: Detroit or any other team doesn't have to trade with
- 26:15Speaker 1: the Dodgers. The Dodgers just know what they are doing,
- 26:19Speaker 1: unlike the Mets. That's right, Patrick DJ. Smith says, Clap, clap, clap.
- 26:24Speaker 1: All of us baseball fans that root for a team
- 26:27Speaker 1: that is inferior to the Dodgers have to bend the knee,
- 26:30Speaker 1: and that's what I'm doing. Congratulations Benjamin. Well, that's fine.
- 26:35Speaker 1: Feel free to no need to bend the knee, just
- 26:39Speaker 1: to have a fish taco and enjoy the beautiful ballpark
- 26:41Speaker 1: there in San Diego. Jumbalaya Jed, I like that nickname,
- 26:46Speaker 1: Jumbalaya Jed. That's a good nickname. And he says Trek
- 26:50Speaker 1: Schouble would be an elite fit for the Doyers. The
- 26:53Speaker 1: twenty nine year old two time Cy Young Winner. And
- 26:56Speaker 1: they gave a bunch of stats. I feel like this
- 26:57Speaker 1: is written by AI. Don't know if that's a legitimate
- 27:01Speaker 1: person or not not sure about that. Analog Al writes
- 27:03Speaker 1: in a regular on the Twitterati or the Exceroti, says,
- 27:08Speaker 1: I'm sure the Yankees won a championship, won a championship
- 27:13Speaker 1: at least once in their history with the opposing team
- 27:16Speaker 1: collapsing like the Blue Jays did last year. All right,
- 27:21Speaker 1: so you believe that was a collapse by the Toronto
- 27:25Speaker 1: Blue Jays. Now, Jill, Jill's a big Yankee fan, and
- 27:29Speaker 1: Jill has spoken you guys, send this out on x coop.
- 27:32Speaker 1: Jill in Minnesota, even though her heart's in New York,
- 27:34Speaker 1: says regarding George Springer, she said three words, she's a woman.
- 27:38Speaker 1: A few words she said, I'd rather not. I would
- 27:41Speaker 1: rather not. And that is the mindset. I feel like
- 27:44Speaker 1: Jill's spokes lady for the Yankees and their fan base.
- 27:47Speaker 1: I feel like she is. Let's go to the phones.
- 27:49Speaker 1: We'll say loa to who's in the leadoff chair. Let's
- 27:52Speaker 1: sail o to Lucky Tony. Three days in a row,
- 27:55Speaker 1: Lucky Tony's in the number one spot. Hello Lucky Tony.
- 28:01Speaker 1: Hey Ben.
- 28:02Speaker 3: When I go to powntown on my girlfriend, she says,
- 28:04Speaker 3: you're killing me. Smalls. I dropped my pants up to
- 28:07Speaker 3: the audition. I'm now the spokesman for Tweezers. And what's
- 28:10Speaker 3: the difference between a date with me and a Robert
- 28:12Speaker 3: of the Ram fight.
- 28:15Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 28:17Speaker 3: When my date says no Moss, it's a question. Thanks Ben,
- 28:22Speaker 3: all right.
- 28:23Speaker 1: I don't know how much of that made it on
- 28:24Speaker 1: the air, but there you go. I wasn't sure what
- 28:26Speaker 1: to dump, to be honest. Yeah, he's always on the edge.
- 28:29Speaker 1: He does like a tiptoe through the tulips, or in
- 28:33Speaker 1: this case, a tiptoe around the land mines, and just
- 28:35Speaker 1: kind of wandering around and all that. That's uh. So
- 28:38Speaker 1: we go back to when Lucky Tony was telling us
- 28:40Speaker 1: about his weird dreams. That was kind of cool, you know,
- 28:44Speaker 1: back in the back in the day he used to
- 28:46Speaker 1: do dream talking here what it's like inside of his head.
- 28:50Speaker 1: We're gonna meet him one of these days. We're gonna
- 28:51Speaker 1: do a meet and greet in the Bay area. That's
- 28:53Speaker 1: I'm my agenda at some point. I don't know when
- 28:55Speaker 1: I say that. Every year and we haven't done it yet,
- 28:57Speaker 1: and we don't really get calls from Alame to lou anymore.
- 29:00Speaker 1: I don't know. We'd have to find a venue. I
- 29:01Speaker 1: don't think we lose a listening anymore, so we'd have
- 29:03Speaker 1: to find somewhere else to host us. Michael in Tulsa writes,
- 29:07Speaker 1: and he says, Ben, just to make half the Mala
- 29:10Speaker 1: militia angry with soccer talk. Have you seen the kerfluffle
- 29:14Speaker 1: between Yuifa and FIFA. It's like the opposite of a merger. Yes.
- 29:21Speaker 1: I have seen random European men yelling at each other
- 29:25Speaker 1: and screaming and shouting and all of all of that.
- 29:30Speaker 1: I have seen it. Moving Man Matt is in California.
- 29:35Speaker 1: He has arrived in San Diego and he does have
- 29:39Speaker 1: the full fully branded Mallard billboards, two Mallard billboards in
- 29:44Speaker 1: one town. So please, if you're out and about in
- 29:47Speaker 1: the San Diego area, take a photo, or anyone in
- 29:51Speaker 1: southern California. He's driving up and down the West Coast,
- 29:53Speaker 1: our buddy, Moving Man Matt. He's based out of Boston,
- 29:56Speaker 1: and he's got the Malar billboard on beautiful. I need
- 30:02Speaker 1: a couple of closer photos, though, Matt. I like the
- 30:05Speaker 1: long distance photo. But right there in the back now
- 30:08Speaker 1: it looks like he's got the extended sleeper front. And
- 30:12Speaker 1: I'm sure that's because Louis gets his own bed at
- 30:15Speaker 1: Louis the Dog and then Matt's got his own his
- 30:18Speaker 1: own setup in there. So that's exciting. All right. We'll
- 30:22Speaker 1: have to keep an eye on. Maybe he'll come by
- 30:24Speaker 1: the East station, although I think he's in San Diego.
- 30:25Speaker 1: We're in La so I don't know that that's gonna happen.
- 30:27Speaker 1: Probably not, Probably not. Super Market Steve says, as a
- 30:31Speaker 1: prodigious Yankee fan, I have to agree with you. We
- 30:35Speaker 1: don't want any of those cheaters on our team. And
- 30:38Speaker 1: I like the Dodgers. We still remember the fact that
- 30:41Speaker 1: we should have been in the Championship game or the
- 30:44Speaker 1: World Series against the Dodgers. And my wife and I
- 30:47Speaker 1: got our hotel room in Baks. Big news, Big News,

- 32:23Speaker 1: formerly of San Diego, says, I love Mike Trout, but
- 32:26Speaker 1: where are the trade rumors? As he's he's got to
- 32:29Speaker 1: get out of the hazmat situation in Anaheim. The most
- 32:32Speaker 1: dysfunctional team with the worst owner in baseball, not the
- 32:37Speaker 1: worst owner in sports. So that guy that owns the
- 32:39Speaker 1: Trailblazers seems to be worse than Ardi Marino. If he
- 32:43Speaker 1: bought the Angels, the Angels would have moved to Olpasso. Yeah, Trout,
- 32:48Speaker 1: it's pretty much three teams. I've heard Red Sox, Yankees,
- 32:50Speaker 1: and Phillies. That's it. The I ninety five corridor there
- 32:54Speaker 1: and we imagine the Dodgers though over to sneak in there.
- 32:58Speaker 1: There's no way the Angels would trade Trout to the
- 33:00Speaker 1: would they? You imagine Trout and Otani together again, reunited,
- 33:05Speaker 1: and it feels so good. My god, stop talking, please,
- 33:10Speaker 1: I'm just saying the teams I've heard of, the Red Sox,
- 33:13Speaker 1: Phillies and Yankees, the Dodgers. That's interesting. Let's go to Anthony.

- 36:32Speaker 1: it is the hug Bug. It is Hugwatch. That is
- 36:36Speaker 1: the tradition this time of the year where you monitor
- 36:39Speaker 1: baseball dugouts for those emotional moments, those hallmark moments where
- 36:44Speaker 1: players embrace each other, the signal that a player is
- 36:47Speaker 1: about to be traded before the deadline. We had one
