- 3:15Speaker 1: Our lead this hour from the Trading Post. We have
- 3:20Speaker 1: a deal. We have a deal in baseball. So what
- 3:24Speaker 1: is it? Who cares? Let me explain. So we've learned
- 3:27Speaker 1: that the New York Metropolitans have added centerfielder Louise Robert
- 3:35Speaker 1: Junior from the Chicago White Sox. Who what, Louise Robert Junior.
- 3:42Speaker 1: That doesn't make it, That doesn't make it tingle? No, okay,
- 3:46Speaker 1: the Mets will send outfielder Louise Angel Akuna. Yes he
- 3:52Speaker 1: is related to his the brothers siblings, the guy for
- 3:55Speaker 1: the Braves that always gets hurt, and a minor league
- 3:57Speaker 1: pitcher you've never heard of. They go from the Mets
- 4:00Speaker 1: to the White Sox and the Truman Show. There you go.
- 4:04Speaker 1: So the Pope's favorite team gets a couple of scratcher takes. Now,
- 4:07Speaker 1: immediately the reaction has been what over the top, as
- 4:12Speaker 1: only the Met fan can do only the Met fan
- 4:16Speaker 1: can do this. Immediately, the Met fans, some of them,
- 4:18Speaker 1: are hyping up Luis Robert Jr. He's the great Cuban
- 4:21Speaker 1: missile and just what the roster needs, just what the
- 4:25Speaker 1: roster needs, and perfect addition to the Mets lineup, shouting
- 4:30Speaker 1: from the heavens, we have gotten our man. It's like
- 4:34Speaker 1: he's he's got that Broadway aura. They of course, keep
- 4:37Speaker 1: in mind the same people that are saying this, the
- 4:41Speaker 1: same people that are barking this out. These are casual
- 4:45Speaker 1: baseball fans, and they when the trade was announced, they went,
- 4:50Speaker 1: who is that? What's that guy's name? That's what That
- 4:53Speaker 1: was their first reaction. And then they said, well, he's him.
- 4:57Speaker 1: In record time, they just they google him. They googled
- 5:00Speaker 1: this guy once and they're like, all right, let's build
- 5:03Speaker 1: a statue. Come on that right next to mister Mett.
- 5:05Speaker 1: We'll build a statue right there, and Ralph Kiner. So
- 5:08Speaker 1: that is a good jumping off point. Let us discuss
- 5:11Speaker 1: the question the Mets trading for White Sox outfielder Luis
- 5:16Speaker 1: Robert Jr. Does this count as a blockbuster trade? No,
- 5:24Speaker 1: I've got Nordstrom rack, corporate retreat and where's Waldo and
- 5:30Speaker 1: we will combine all of these things together, one, two,
- 5:33Speaker 1: three and ABC.
- 5:35Speaker 2: So number wa I said number.
- 5:41Speaker 1: One more time. Number. This is not a blockbuster in
- 5:45Speaker 1: the traditional sense that we use in the lexicon of
- 5:48Speaker 1: sports radio. It is not. And we know this. You
- 5:51Speaker 1: know this, and you're smart. I'm smart. So this is
- 5:55Speaker 1: a blockbuster video in twenty twenty six. That's the kind
- 6:00Speaker 1: of blockbuster. This is the empty shelves, dusty DVD cases
- 6:05Speaker 1: and that please that little sticker that used to slap
- 6:08Speaker 1: on there, but please be kind and rewind you know
- 6:11Speaker 1: that thing there, that's it. That's what this is. Once
- 6:15Speaker 1: upon a time, in a land far far ago, you
- 6:18Speaker 1: had Luis Robert Jr. Who got MVP votes. He was
- 6:22Speaker 1: considered a luxury brand. Think of it like if it
- 6:26Speaker 1: was a watch, he would have been a Rolex. With
- 6:27Speaker 1: the White Sox he just broke out was amazing and
- 6:30Speaker 1: almost forty home runs, drove in a bunch of runs.
- 6:33Speaker 1: He was great. At this point in the story, we're
- 6:36Speaker 1: at the point in the story where Luis Robert Jr.
- 6:40Speaker 1: Is like a scratched fit bit sitting in the clearance
- 6:43Speaker 1: bin at the Nordstrom rack. That's where he is right now,
- 6:47Speaker 1: red tag final sale as is no returns. There you go.
- 6:52Speaker 1: Keep in mind the Mets wanted Kyle Tucker. They thought
- 6:55Speaker 1: they were gonna get Kyle Tucker. Instead, the Mets are
- 6:59Speaker 1: now convincing themselves the front office that the broken dreams
- 7:05Speaker 1: of this guy Robert they got from the White Sox.
- 7:07Speaker 1: They just needed a new zip code. Give him a
- 7:10Speaker 1: new zip code. Everything. Change of scenery, classic change of scenery,
- 7:15Speaker 1: rebirth story arc at Sportscasting Clown College. So there is that,
- 7:21Speaker 1: and it's kind of like the house plan is dying
- 7:24Speaker 1: on your windows still. You've got a right on the
- 7:27Speaker 1: windows kind of dying there. So we'll just move it
- 7:30Speaker 1: a little over to the right and then it'll be good.
- 7:32Speaker 1: So let's talk about geography. You want to talk about geography. Oh,
- 7:34Speaker 1: it's a sports radio show. We don't care about geography.
- 7:37Speaker 1: So the Mets play in Queens, the borough of queens,
- 7:41Speaker 1: more specifically flushing, which could not be more appropriate, could
- 7:46Speaker 1: not be more appropriate. That's not branding. That is baseball destiny.
- 7:52Speaker 1: That is baseball dest Careers don't blossom there, they don't.
- 7:57Speaker 1: They don't blossom there, and they go down the porcelain
- 8:01Speaker 1: is where they go, right, do the old swirly swirl
- 8:05Speaker 1: right there, swirl swirl and then you know where that
- 8:08Speaker 1: ends up right right around the ball and disappears into
- 8:11Speaker 1: the East River. And then someone goes and catches a
- 8:14Speaker 1: fish and the fish is in. Well, you know what
- 8:16Speaker 1: happens anyway, So the Mets, what do they need pitching?
- 8:20Speaker 1: You gotta get pitching. You gotta get pitching, you gotta
- 8:25Speaker 1: get and do the Mets have that? No, Instead, they're well,
- 8:28Speaker 1: we didn't get talkers, so let's go out and get
- 8:30Speaker 1: some gold. Of course it's it's fool's gold, is what
- 8:35Speaker 1: it is, right, And so of course the many people, oh,
- 8:37Speaker 1: it's great, wonderful. Not exactly the championship kind of move
- 8:42Speaker 1: when you're looking for the career renaissance. Good luck. It's
- 8:45Speaker 1: a flyer. It's a flyer. The Mets are playing. They're
- 8:48Speaker 1: paying this guy twenty million, all right, expensive fly twenty
- 8:51Speaker 1: million dollars. I read the Mets are paying this guy.
- 8:53Speaker 1: So the Mets are playing the runner up ribbon game,
- 8:56Speaker 1: as are twenty nine other teams because all of you
- 8:58Speaker 1: have told me it's all over. There's no need to
- 9:00Speaker 1: play this season. The Dodgers are gonna win the World Series.
- 9:02Speaker 1: There's no chance they don't win the World Series. They're
- 9:04Speaker 1: gonna win the World Series. So twenty nine other teams
- 9:07Speaker 1: are playing for the silver medal. The Dodgers have already
- 9:09Speaker 1: wrapped up the gold medal. The Mets are one of
- 9:11Speaker 1: those teams. But you look at the Mets, they have
- 9:12Speaker 1: a history of lies and promises that were never met
- 9:16Speaker 1: and hope that's always on layaway. That's the Mets. That's
- 9:20Speaker 1: the Met way. Same song. Years have changed, different kind
- 9:23Speaker 1: of disappointment.
- 9:24Speaker 3: Now.
- 9:24Speaker 1: Meanwhile, we head to pro bouncy Ball where the Parisian
- 9:28Speaker 1: prodigy making some headlines. Here Spurs star Victor Wembanyama. Victor
- 9:35Speaker 1: Wimanyama said this week, I want the name of the
- 9:37Speaker 1: All Star team and all that. One of the big
- 9:39Speaker 1: faces of the new age of the NBA, he said, quote,
- 9:42Speaker 1: I want to push the great players of this sport
- 9:44Speaker 1: to play in the All Star Game just as hard
- 9:47Speaker 1: as I will. Wemby stated, we'll see how it goes,
- 9:52Speaker 1: but if they don't play hard, I'll do it without them.
- 9:55Speaker 1: Close quote it's Victor Webbanyama. Here's the question, what are
- 10:00Speaker 1: the chances just between us, what are the chances that Wemby,
- 10:04Speaker 1: the San Antonio Spurs star Wemby helps make the All
- 10:07Speaker 1: Star Game great again by actually hustling? So the odds
- 10:13Speaker 1: malar odds on this. We spent about thirty seconds deliberating
- 10:17Speaker 1: the available information on the NBA All Star Game, and
- 10:20Speaker 1: the odds say Squad Douche gets an S for Squad
- 10:25Speaker 1: Douche good luck on that. This is adorable though it
- 10:30Speaker 1: is right, how naive you can be and think that
- 10:34Speaker 1: this is all gonna work out for It's kind of
- 10:36Speaker 1: like a kid shown up to a poker game with
- 10:39Speaker 1: a bunch of monopoly money in a rule book. It's like,
- 10:41Speaker 1: you might want to sit this one out, you know,
- 10:43Speaker 1: I'm just saying. So Wemby says he's gonna play hard.
- 10:46Speaker 1: He's gonna play hard, and the other stars, of course,
- 10:51Speaker 1: they don't like that, right, And he says if they
- 10:53Speaker 1: don't pay attention, he'll just do it alone, and that's
- 10:55Speaker 1: what he's gonna do. It's terrific, very noble of when
- 10:58Speaker 1: ban Yama to say that he's also showing the world
- 11:02Speaker 1: he's absolutely clueless, absolutely clueless. Why this Just in to
- 11:09Speaker 1: the Ben Maler Show on Fox Sports Radio, the NBA
- 11:12Speaker 1: All Star Game is not broken. People think it's broken.
- 11:16Speaker 1: It's not broken. It is working exactly as it is
- 11:21Speaker 1: designed to work. They keep futzing around with the format,
- 11:25Speaker 1: but it's working the way they want it to work.
- 11:28Speaker 1: When I say they, I'm talking about the people that
- 11:31Speaker 1: are on the court. It is a corporate retreat with sneakers.
- 11:35Speaker 1: That's what the NBA All Star Game is. A corporate
- 11:37Speaker 1: retreat in sneakers. It is a showroom. It is a handshake,
- 11:42Speaker 1: grab ass convention with a basketball problem. Right. The problem
- 11:48Speaker 1: is they're supposed to play in the All Star Game.
- 11:50Speaker 1: I don't want to play in the All Star Game.
- 11:51Speaker 1: And years ago, with no one asking, the players of
- 11:56Speaker 1: the NBA were so soft. How soft were they? They
- 12:00Speaker 1: were so soft these players that they voted with their
- 12:04Speaker 1: feet wildcat style, wildcat strike style. And their effort or
- 12:09Speaker 1: the lack of effort in the NBA All Star Game
- 12:12Speaker 1: they stop caring, and we stop caring, all right, so
- 12:16Speaker 1: nobody cares. That's the NBA All Star Game. No defense,
- 12:20Speaker 1: no diving for loose balls, no sweat stains. Some of
- 12:24Speaker 1: these guys in the Also Game, they don't even need
- 12:25Speaker 1: to take showers after the game because they don't put
- 12:28Speaker 1: no effort into the All Star Game. It's all about
- 12:30Speaker 1: positive vibes and all that.
- 12:33Speaker 3: You know, the.
- 12:33Speaker 1: Social media selfies and you know, put on the gram
- 12:37Speaker 1: and TikTok and the occasional just every once in a while,
- 12:41Speaker 1: the uncontested circus dunk. That's just to keep the sponsors
- 12:46Speaker 1: from panicking, just to keep them from panicking and all
- 12:48Speaker 1: that stuff. So every few years, and this just happens
- 12:50Speaker 1: to be Wemby, But every few years in all these sports,
- 12:52Speaker 1: there's a young buck that comes along that shows up
- 12:56Speaker 1: like a fire breathing dragon, and hey, listen, I'm gonna play.
- 13:01Speaker 1: I gotta earn my money, I got to sing for
- 13:03Speaker 1: my supper, and I'm gonna play hard, even though it's
- 13:06Speaker 1: the All Star Game. And inevitably what happens is tap tap,
- 13:12Speaker 1: look at the tap on the shoulder. Hey hey kid,
- 13:15Speaker 1: we'd like to talk to you.
- 13:17Speaker 3: What is it.
- 13:18Speaker 1: Yeah, so you know you're making us look bad here.
- 13:20Speaker 1: It's a it's a marathon, not a wind sprint the
- 13:22Speaker 1: All Star Game. Save save the energy, save the calories.
- 13:27Speaker 1: Nobody's getting paid extra for caring. No one's getting extra
- 13:31Speaker 1: money for hustling. Uh so there you go. So listen Wembley.
- 13:35Speaker 1: Wemby can play hard. Good for him, But the revolution
- 13:40Speaker 1: changing the All Star Game, making it great again is
- 13:42Speaker 1: not going to happen here, and just not. So that's
- 13:46Speaker 1: how the NBA hot Dogs are made good luck. I
- 13:48Speaker 1: recall when I was covering baseball years ago before the
- 13:51Speaker 1: Dodgers became good when they sucked, and I was doing
- 13:53Speaker 1: the Dodger programming in another life, and there was a
- 13:56Speaker 1: guy on the team that they called up from Triple
- 13:58Speaker 1: A Albuquerque, Albuqueres. And this guy was hustling and running
- 14:02Speaker 1: wild and young outfielder, and he got the talk and
- 14:07Speaker 1: he was taught about the what they call it the
- 14:09Speaker 1: big league jog. It's still a thing in baseball where
- 14:12Speaker 1: you hit a ball that's almost guaranteed to be an
- 14:14Speaker 1: out and you don't hustle. This guy would hustle, and
- 14:18Speaker 1: he would make the other guys look bad because they
- 14:20Speaker 1: were lazy. They were lazy, so he got to talk.
- 14:23Speaker 1: The veteran player said, listen, making us look bad. Here,
- 14:26Speaker 1: come on, like, what are you doing all right?
- 14:28Speaker 3: Now?
- 14:28Speaker 1: Final point to Buffalo. Here we go, Buffalo Bill's mafia
- 14:34Speaker 1: going through these seven stages of grief after they lost
- 14:37Speaker 1: in Denver and then lost their head coach, and I
- 14:39Speaker 1: read an interesting story here if you saw this or not,
- 14:42Speaker 1: the Bill's organization, the leaders had a pow wow with
- 14:47Speaker 1: Sean McDermott, the former coach, and McDermott pointed out, according
- 14:50Speaker 1: to the story, McDermott pointed out the many flaws in
- 14:54Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bill's roster that were preventing the team from
- 14:58Speaker 1: reaching the Promised land. So, according to the reporting, breathless reporting,
- 15:07Speaker 1: the GM, mister Bean and Terry Pegoula, the owner, were
- 15:13Speaker 1: not happy. They were upset with McDermott and they got
- 15:18Speaker 1: annoyed that he was complaining about the way the roster
- 15:21Speaker 1: was built there in western New York. So the question
- 15:25Speaker 1: for you, and I'm gonna answer this first, but here's
- 15:27Speaker 1: the question. Former coach Sean McDermott pointing out that the
- 15:32Speaker 1: Bills roster was not up to standard. It was a
- 15:34Speaker 1: bit broken and being rejected, rejected by ownership. How do
- 15:41Speaker 1: you decode this particular report. So let's use the Mallard
- 15:47Speaker 1: Dakota ring on this one. We're also going to open
- 15:50Speaker 1: up the MiB. So not only are we using the
- 15:53Speaker 1: Mallard Dakota ring, we're going to open up the MIIB.
- 15:55Speaker 1: Now that's not men in Black, that's the Malord Investigative Bureau,
- 16:00Speaker 1: So you're can investigate. So this leak out of Buffalo
- 16:03Speaker 1: and it smells. It smells like some rotting chicken wings
- 16:10Speaker 1: from the anchor bar and grill that were left outside
- 16:12Speaker 1: to rot, is what it sounds. It smells like that. Yeah, yeah,
- 16:16Speaker 1: So this is another one to the low information fan,
- 16:19Speaker 1: to the casual fan. They see this headline and it
- 16:22Speaker 1: makes the bills look like villains twirling their mustaches. You know,
- 16:28Speaker 1: the classic cartoon villain twirling the mustache. That's what it
- 16:32Speaker 1: looks like if you just look at the way the
- 16:35Speaker 1: story was reported. Oh no, my coach, who I love?
- 16:39Speaker 1: You want and better players?
- 16:41Speaker 2: And the mean oders said no, no, no, no, you
- 16:45Speaker 2: don't get better players.
- 16:47Speaker 1: And how's my acting on these a?
- 16:50Speaker 3: Right?
- 16:50Speaker 1: Bad? Not bad? Not bad thing. I'll be here all
- 16:53Speaker 1: week anyway. If you don't like, it's an overnighte If
- 16:56Speaker 1: you liked it, I'll be here all week. If you
- 16:57Speaker 1: don't like, it's an overnight show, so chill out, dude,
- 16:59Speaker 1: what's wrong with you? Go have a beer? All right? Anyway,
- 17:02Speaker 1: So let's be level headed on this one. I'm gonna
- 17:05Speaker 1: be level headed. We're gonna play the parlor game. What
- 17:09Speaker 1: do you say? You and I are gonna play the
- 17:10Speaker 1: parlor game. So the parlor game works like this, who not,
- 17:13Speaker 1: who done it? Who leaked it? We always ask two questions,
- 17:17Speaker 1: why leak it now? And who does the leak benefit?
- 17:22Speaker 1: And so I've done that and activating the Malard Investigative Bureau.
- 17:27Speaker 1: This one is child's play. This is easy. This is
- 17:31Speaker 1: like beginner level. This is an entry level question. I'm
- 17:35Speaker 1: gonna ask my students it is. It's child's play. It
- 17:40Speaker 1: sure as hell wasn't the Buffalo Bill's ownership. Can we
- 17:43Speaker 1: all agree on that. You're nodding your head, Yes, it
- 17:44Speaker 1: wasn't the Bill's ownership, because this makes them look like
- 17:47Speaker 1: a bunch of country bumpkins. You can't handle the truth. Now,
- 17:52Speaker 1: if you follow the cookie crumbs from Felexus in Buffalo
- 17:58Speaker 1: and Bill's monster if you follow, and also inker tear,
- 18:02Speaker 1: if you follow the cookie crumbs, they lead right to
- 18:05Speaker 1: the Sean McDermott caucus is where they lead. And this
- 18:09Speaker 1: is a where's Waldough situation? So where's Waldo situation?
- 18:14Speaker 4: Now?
- 18:15Speaker 1: What do I mean by that? Everyone and their uncle? Right,
- 18:19Speaker 1: they're looking at the roster and meanwhile, Waldo, if you
- 18:24Speaker 1: look for Waldo, we're in a headset saying, hey, hey,
- 18:28Speaker 1: I didn't choke. I didn't choke in those big games.
- 18:31Speaker 1: My toys were broken. This is what's called reputation laundering
- 18:36Speaker 1: by the Sean McDermott group, the people that are invested
- 18:40Speaker 1: in McDermott getting another head coaching job. It is public
- 18:45Speaker 1: relations scented candle, like like light the candle, you'll change
- 18:50Speaker 1: the smell in the room and all that stuff. Flip
- 18:53Speaker 1: the script, right, you flip the script. Sean McDermott goes
- 18:55Speaker 1: from playoff underachiever to misunderstood martyr. He had Oh it
- 19:03Speaker 1: wasn't his fault. He knew they needed better players and
- 19:05Speaker 1: they didn't get him better players. Of course that's a
- 19:08Speaker 1: loser's attitude, right. You complain about the the ingredients, the tools,
- 19:13Speaker 1: you have and you'll figure it out, all right, you

- 23:06Speaker 1: mass says McDermott. His complaints, You know, his complaint sounds
- 23:11Speaker 1: like sour grapes. But at the same time he's not wrong.
- 23:15Speaker 1: How mister Bean bamboozled the ownership into a promotion is puzzling.
- 23:20Speaker 1: At the least, he must be really nice, must be
- 23:23Speaker 1: a good guy to hang out with. Ferg Dog says,
- 23:26Speaker 1: is it too early to pencil the Chargers into next
- 23:29Speaker 1: year's Super Bowl now that they got Mike McDaniel as
- 23:33Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator. Yeah, we'll get to that later. It's
- 23:37Speaker 1: on my big board for a dog, not a list.
- 23:39Speaker 1: It's on my big board. That'll be coming up a
- 23:42Speaker 1: little bit later. Barbecuing len rights in he had retired
- 23:46Speaker 1: as a caller, and he came out of retirement. He's
- 23:48Speaker 1: such a star caller. He came out of retirement. Barbecuing
- 23:51Speaker 1: Lenz says, I'm excited, Ben I went to Game four
- 23:54Speaker 1: of the ALCS. I am now qualified for the Hall
- 23:57Speaker 1: of Fame. Have you banged on some trash cans that'll
- 24:01Speaker 1: get you in the Hall of Fame? Yeah, I don't know,
- 24:03Speaker 1: why not? Yeah?
- 24:05Speaker 4: No?
- 24:06Speaker 1: All right, fair enough. And there were some other comments
- 24:09Speaker 1: from some of these knuckleheads that I wanted to address here, JJ,
- 24:14Speaker 1: who said, you know, damn well, this guy in Seattle
- 24:16Speaker 1: who's whining, he's having a pity party because the Dodgers
- 24:19Speaker 1: spent too much money.
- 24:20Speaker 2: We I reget the Dodger can't win.
- 24:23Speaker 1: Oh my god, he says, you know, damn well, having
- 24:27Speaker 1: a higher payroll gives you an immensely better shot at winning.
- 24:31Speaker 1: I am not a low information fan at all. The
- 24:34Speaker 1: Blue Jays and the Dodgers were top three in baseball. Well, JJ,
- 24:38Speaker 1: you have You might not be a low information fan,
- 24:41Speaker 1: but you're a loser fan, right. You don't have that
- 24:45Speaker 1: fighting spirit. It's a shame. By your standard, everyone should
- 24:49Speaker 1: be exactly the same, and that's how every team should be.
- 24:52Speaker 1: And that's not how life is. So why should sports
- 24:55Speaker 1: be like that? And by your standard, Indiana should not
- 24:58Speaker 1: have won the championship. He's in the Indiana story is
- 25:01Speaker 1: so good in college football is because the overcame the eyes.
- 25:04Speaker 1: They spent money.
- 25:05Speaker 2: Oh my God, they spend money, they paid players and
- 25:08Speaker 2: oh my god, so bad.
- 25:11Speaker 1: The greatest upset of all time is David beating Goliath.
- 25:15Speaker 1: The It's in the Bible. That would not be allowed
- 25:18Speaker 1: if people like JJ ran the world. Well, we can't
- 25:20Speaker 1: allow that. Goliath is too big. David's got no chance.
- 25:24Speaker 1: We can't come on so wrong we Parito writes it.
- 25:28Speaker 1: He says, Hey, John Morosi, I was on an earlier
- 25:34Speaker 1: show and like a blank blank he said he voted
- 25:37Speaker 1: for Carlos Beltron. He said, because we don't know how
- 25:42Speaker 1: many teams cheated, he says. Parita says, what an a hole.
- 25:48Speaker 1: They were caught redhanded. Yeah, I didn't hear that, so
- 25:51Speaker 1: I don't know if that's true. If that's true, that's
- 25:52Speaker 1: I mean, that's come on. I like John Paul Arrossi,
- 25:54Speaker 1: but it's embarrassing for him and every other baseball writer
- 25:58Speaker 1: who won't vote for the steroid guys. You know, I
- 26:00Speaker 1: won't Bonds and Clemmens and a Rod and Manny Ramirez,
- 26:03Speaker 1: who's now off the ballot. Those guys can't get in. Well,
- 26:07Speaker 1: you've already voted people who did steroids in the Hall
- 26:10Speaker 1: of Fame, you dummies. Let's go to the phones. The
- 26:14Speaker 1: Black Irishman is in Omaha. Hello, Black Irishman, welcome. Hold on.

- 26:29Speaker 1: will work. Let me let me try this again. Hello,
- 26:31Speaker 1: Black Irishman. That doesn't. That does not work. So all right,
- 26:37Speaker 1: I've hung up on the Black Irishman. It's one of

- 27:11Speaker 1: take calls, this will be fixed right away, immediately, it
- 27:16Speaker 1: will be fixed. No, question about Now I did find
- 27:19Speaker 1: I think this is a burner account for Albouve, mister Alboove. Yeah. Uh.
- 27:27Speaker 1: It just has a heart emoji on the name, and
- 27:30Speaker 1: it says ben give it up on the cheating a Astros.
- 27:35Speaker 1: Then this person says the Astros did not cheat. Everyone
- 27:39Speaker 1: has an edge. This person said the Astros did not chat.
- 27:42Speaker 1: This has to be Albouve. It has to be Albouve.
- 27:46Speaker 1: Burner account has to be uh. And then they do
- 27:50Speaker 1: what about ism, which you've lost the argument. If you
- 27:53Speaker 1: ever took a debate class, I don't know who this is.
- 27:55Speaker 1: I don't if it's a man or a woman, or
- 27:56Speaker 1: it's some kind of body account or a lizard person
- 28:01Speaker 1: or the Grays. I don't know whatever that thing is.
- 28:06Speaker 1: When you do what about ism, you've lost the argument.
- 28:10Speaker 1: You're doing what about ism? Case in point. Give you
- 28:14Speaker 1: an example. Next time you get pulled over speeding and
- 28:17Speaker 1: the officer says, I need your drivers and registration. How
- 28:21Speaker 1: fast were you driving? And he said, well, I was
- 28:24Speaker 1: going the speed of traffic. Everyone else was going the
- 28:27Speaker 1: same speed. It doesn't matter. You still get the ticket, Sir,
- 28:33Speaker 1: I was driving with intention. Yeah, unless you're a hot
- 28:36Speaker 1: woman like Lorraina, and then maybe you get out of
- 28:38Speaker 1: the ticket. But if you're ugly like the rest of us,
- 28:40Speaker 1: that doesn't work. That does not work. Understand all right?
- 28:46Speaker 1: The black Irishman's called back. Now Coop's gonna have to
- 28:48Speaker 1: punch the calls up and he loves that. He really

- 37:21Speaker 1: It's got to be Max Goofer from JT No that
- 37:23Speaker 1: isn't correct. It is jac the wing man said that
- 37:26Speaker 1: it's Kurt Warner. Kurt Warner back in two thousand for
- 37:29Speaker 1: the Saint Louis Rams when Dick for Meal stepped away,
- 37:33Speaker 1: Here we go. It's here. We're gone to the third degree.
- 37:39Speaker 1: This is one big Ben gets grilled cool.
- 37:43Speaker 4: In his ten games with the Seahawks, Rashid Shaheed has
- 37:46Speaker 4: returned to kickoff for a touchdown three times now summer,
- 37:50Speaker 4: crediting Shaheed with changing Seattle season, Ben is the trade
- 37:54Speaker 4: for Shaheed the best deadline deal since the forty nine
- 37:56Speaker 4: ers dealt for McCaffrey.
- 37:57Speaker 1: First of all, he didn't change their season. They were
- 37:59Speaker 1: having a good year. That what changed their season is
- 38:01Speaker 1: Puka Nakula went on a podcast and ripped the NFL
- 38:05Speaker 1: officials or a live stream, and the NFL officials violated
- 38:09Speaker 1: the rule book and helped Seattle out in that game
- 38:11Speaker 1: on that Thursday night. That helped Seattle out more than
- 38:14Speaker 1: anything else, the playoff game against the Night. They could
- 38:17Speaker 1: have had Doug Baldwin out there or Tyler Lockett and
- 38:20Speaker 1: they would have won that game. The way the forty
- 38:22Speaker 1: nine ers played, it's been a good trade. Let's not
- 38:24Speaker 1: get crazy, though, Come on, please Next.
- 38:26Speaker 4: There's been a call for full time reps for years now,
- 38:29Speaker 4: but former VP of Officiating Mike Pereira might be the
- 38:33Speaker 4: most prominent person calling for that. Peira said in before
- 38:37Speaker 4: the divisional round that the seventeen referees who lead each
- 38:39Speaker 4: of the officiating crews should be full time employees. Ben
- 38:43Speaker 4: with that and all the controversy over the weekend, do
- 38:45Speaker 4: you think the NFL finally takes a shot at this.
- 38:47Speaker 1: No, because the NFL loves controversy, It wouldn't end the controversy.
- 38:51Speaker 1: Baseball has full time umpires, People still wrap up umpires.
- 38:54Speaker 1: NBA has got full time officials. How often does Scott
- 38:57Speaker 1: Foster get ripped in the NBA? It doesn't change it.
- 39:00Speaker 1: The issue is the subjective nature of the calls. That's
- 39:03Speaker 1: never going to change. The NFL likes it that way.
- 39:05Speaker 4: Next, the Charlotte Hornets are eleven games under five hundred,
- 39:08Speaker 4: but analyst Brian Windhorse believes that they would beat the
- 39:11Speaker 4: Lakers in a series better than the Lakers really that bad?
- 39:14Speaker 1: Well, if Brian wind Horse said it, the Hornets have
- 39:18Speaker 1: They did play well against the Lakers this year, but
- 39:21Speaker 1: now in a seven game series, it would be different.
- 39:22Speaker 1: I would like to think they would beat the Hornets. Otherwise,
- 39:24Speaker 1: JJ Reddick will be back doing podcast full time. If
- 39:27Speaker 1: that's the case, how did we do kobolo? You pass
- 39:29Speaker 1: as they would play?
- 39:30Speaker 2: Won a game hollowing James I won, James hollowing James
- 39:35Speaker 2: I won
