0:35
Speaker 1: can you parse the words of Bengals wide receiver Jamar
0:38

1:12
Speaker 1: of another hour of The Ben Mahler Show. We are
1:15
Speaker 1: in the air ay where neighboring As we ride out
1:23
Speaker 1: the storm coast stuck cooast, border to border and beyond
1:27
Speaker 1: on the vast and rollickingly powerful microphones of fs are
1:33
Speaker 1: ammating live from the stand. Not Kazakistan or Rezbekistan. It's
1:40
Speaker 1: Mallard Stan from the world famous Fox Sports Radio Studios,
1:44
Speaker 1: as approved by Wayne from Southey, who famously showed up
1:49
Speaker 1: to a Malard meet and greet at the Cask and
1:51
Speaker 1: Flagon in Boston and said he had been sober for many,
1:55
Speaker 1: many years and then of course got completely hammered because
1:58
Speaker 1: he blamed me my fault. Yes, it is all right anyway.
2:02
Speaker 1: This portion of the Ben Mather Show made possible in
2:05
Speaker 1: part by our friends at tire Iraq. For over forty years,
2:08
Speaker 1: ty Iraq has been helping customers find the right tires
2:11
Speaker 1: for how, what and where they drive, ship fast and
2:13
Speaker 1: free back by free road hazard protection with convenient installation
2:19
Speaker 1: options like mobile tire installation, tire rac dot Com, The
2:23
Speaker 1: Way Tire Buying show.
2:28
Speaker 2: Me.
2:29
Speaker 1: So we're back at it here. At the Baseball Playoffs
2:31
Speaker 1: Wild Card Thursday three games, you had the Tigers winning
2:35
Speaker 1: on the road and exterminating the Cleveland Guardians. The Bridges
2:40
Speaker 1: are knocked out there in the first game. Then you
2:43
Speaker 1: had the Chicago Cubs getting her done for Tree in Chicago,
2:49
Speaker 1: very confident. Tree was very confident in the Cubs won
2:52
Speaker 1: and never really in danger. It's hard to be in
2:54
Speaker 1: danger when the Potterys don't do anything until late in
2:58
Speaker 1: the game. And you had the New York Yankees with
3:01
Speaker 1: Cam Schlittler getting it done on the mount. So the
3:05
Speaker 1: Yankees have said bye bye to the Boston Red Sox.
3:08
Speaker 1: They all advance day off today. Baseball playoffsers whom on
3:12
Speaker 1: Saturday with the Divisional round best of five, best of
3:17
Speaker 1: five Divisional Round. We had a wacky NFL game on
3:20
Speaker 1: Thursday night, the La Rams, an eight and a half
3:22
Speaker 1: point favorite. They did not show up in the first half,
3:26
Speaker 1: came back tied the game, should have won, the game,
3:28
Speaker 1: could have won the game, would have won the game
3:30
Speaker 1: except fumble Ruski and they lost game. But I'll leave
3:34
Speaker 1: this hour from across the Atlantic Ocean, we go to London. Now,
3:39
Speaker 1: the Vikings and the Browns getting ready to play Rock
3:42
Speaker 1: Paper Scissors. You've got Carson Wentz versus Dylan Gabriel. Tickets
3:47
Speaker 1: are available, so Roger Goodell filling the content kitty from
3:53
Speaker 1: the UK, making Terry in England very happy. I haven't
3:57
Speaker 1: heard from Terry. I thought we'd hear from Terry. He's
3:58
Speaker 1: a big, trash talking forty nine apologist. But I must
4:01
Speaker 1: be sleeping. Maybe he's working. I don't know anyway, So
4:05
Speaker 1: Roda Goodell came out and was pumping his chest out
4:08
Speaker 1: like a banti rooster and wanted you to know, and
4:12
Speaker 1: me to know, and every man, woman and child to
4:15
Speaker 1: know in the world that the NFL will be traveling
4:19
Speaker 1: abroad a lot more. They'll be returning to Mexico next year.
4:24
Speaker 1: So the NFL is going to Mexico. They'll be playing
4:27
Speaker 1: their first regular season game in Asia. They played some
4:30
Speaker 1: exhibition games over there. Play a first regular season game
4:33
Speaker 1: in Asia. That'll be happening soon. Roger Gedell also said
4:37
Speaker 1: in London that the league has every intention of being
4:43
Speaker 1: a truly global sport, which means playing games in many
4:47
Speaker 1: more countries. Mentioned in Mexico City, they've hosted five regular
4:51
Speaker 1: season games. They're going to get a sixth regular season
4:53
Speaker 1: game in Mexico that'll be coming up next year. Australia
4:57
Speaker 1: will get its first regular season game next year. I
5:00
Speaker 1: think the Rams I believe are playing in that mentioned
5:04
Speaker 1: Asia already. They're getting some games now the NFL, I'm
5:07
Speaker 1: sure they want to play everywhere. They'd put a game
5:09
Speaker 1: in peong Yang if they could make enough money on it.
5:12
Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question, and this is a
5:15
Speaker 1: pretty obvious question that needs to be asked. Is there
5:17
Speaker 1: an appetite? Is there an appetite for more American style
5:22
Speaker 1: football via the NFL internationally that they're outsourcing the American
5:27
Speaker 1: football to a global audience, But does the global audience
5:32
Speaker 1: want that? So I've got Gladiator cosplay, Ragdall and WKRP
5:40
Speaker 1: reruns in Cincinnati. So first of all, to answer the question,
5:46
Speaker 1: is there an appetite globally for American football the NFL internationally?
5:51
Speaker 1: And I'm shaking my head, no, rapid fi. I'm gonna
5:55
Speaker 1: get dizzy if I keep doing this. No, my eyes
5:58
Speaker 1: are closed a little. But see, Roger Goodell's got the
6:02
Speaker 1: NFL going full star trek, right, They're going full star
6:06
Speaker 1: trek here they are, you know, the Globe, the Final Frontier, Mexico, Australia, Asia.
6:15
Speaker 1: Roger Goodell's doing some kind of weird cosplay like our
6:19
Speaker 1: old nemesis Captain Kirk. He's doing Captain Kirk. It's setting
6:24
Speaker 1: the coordinates to Shanghai, Melbourne and tim buckto and wherever
6:30
Speaker 1: there's a patch of grass the NFL would like to
6:33
Speaker 1: make some grass. He wants to boldly go Roger Goodell
6:38
Speaker 1: where no man has gone before, wearing an American football uniform.
6:44
Speaker 1: Spoiler alert, spoiler alert. Unfortunately, there is no appetite for
6:48
Speaker 1: this overseas, not a legitimate appetite, none, zero, zippo buppkis.
6:53
Speaker 1: It's not my opinion, it's a fact. This is not soccer,
6:55
Speaker 1: this is not Formula one. This is a niche sport
7:00
Speaker 1: outside of the United States. It's one of the things
7:02
Speaker 1: that's truly American. Hey, listen, we have, you know, Canadian
7:05
Speaker 1: football in Canada, which is very popular. But that's that's it, right.
7:10
Speaker 1: They're what they're doing is they're shoving it down people's
7:14
Speaker 1: throats in places that they're really not that into it.
7:17
Speaker 1: It's not organic, that's my main point. It's not organic.
7:22
Speaker 1: It's targeted marketing. It's curiosity tourism. The locals are not
7:28
Speaker 1: dying to see Jacksonville versus Indianapolis in Tokyo. They're not
7:34
Speaker 1: it's mostly expats, Americans living abroad. I know from boots
7:40
Speaker 1: on the ground in the UK over the years. The
7:42
Speaker 1: NFL has been playing in London and abroad there for many,
7:45
Speaker 1: many years, and I've had people that have called me
7:48
Speaker 1: up or been correspondence for email, pen pals that have
7:52
Speaker 1: reached out to me. And we have a lot of
7:54
Speaker 1: people listening on the American Forces Network, which is the
7:56
Speaker 1: military broadcast, which we're lucky to be on on military
8:01
Speaker 1: basis all over the world. And so we have people
8:04
Speaker 1: that listen to us because we're on during the daytime
8:06
Speaker 1: in a lot of these countries, and they'd be like, yeah,
8:09
Speaker 1: there's bus trips from our military base. We go over
8:12
Speaker 1: to London. When the NFL gives us tickets at a
8:15
Speaker 1: discount price, we go over there and watch we watch
8:18
Speaker 1: the game. There's a lot of that going on, right
8:19
Speaker 1: There's a lot of that going on. And it's it's
8:22
Speaker 1: the dudes in London with Patriot jerseys because they happen
8:26
Speaker 1: to move there, whether they're there for work or something else,
8:29
Speaker 1: or school or whatever. The NFL does not have a
8:33
Speaker 1: footprint globally. It's driving them insane to the membrane that
8:38
Speaker 1: they don't. It's not religion like it is for a
8:42
Speaker 1: lot of us here in the States. In the States,
8:44
Speaker 1: it's you're going to the tabernacle. You're going to the
8:46
Speaker 1: church over there, or the temple or whatever over there.
8:49
Speaker 1: It's like, Hey, what's that weird gladiator cosplay thing that
8:53
Speaker 1: happened at Wembley today? Do you know what that is? Meanwhile,
8:57
Speaker 1: who do the NFL owners end up giving the screwge
9:00
Speaker 1: job too? Ding Ning Ning Nate. That's right. The base,
9:05
Speaker 1: the base you're screwing over your season ticket older is
9:08
Speaker 1: the people who are the most loyal, the most dedicated,
9:11
Speaker 1: the most passionate, people who have been with you through
9:14
Speaker 1: the snow, the cold, the blackouts, the bad games and
9:18
Speaker 1: all that. And they lose a home game and the
9:23
Speaker 1: NFL is trying to send better games across oceans. They
9:27
Speaker 1: lose a home game, so Roger Goodell can play global ambassador.
9:32
Speaker 1: Whoopede dam do like, look at me, I'm global. You're
9:35
Speaker 1: giving away good games now. It used to be the
9:37
Speaker 1: bad game. Now they're trying to give away better games
9:40
Speaker 1: here abroad. And you're telling the real fans, I suck it,
9:44
Speaker 1: you know, That's what you're telling them. It's gonna take,
9:47
Speaker 1: using malardmath, forty years. The math on this is forty years.
9:53
Speaker 1: A generation is twenty years. Some say twenty five, some
9:57
Speaker 1: say thirty. I say twenty. So if it's twenty years
9:59
Speaker 1: in a generation, that means two generations. That means you've
10:03
Speaker 1: got to from birth right kids go into the world.
10:08
Speaker 1: The circle of life. You start out, you get through
10:09
Speaker 1: the school, you end up getting a job, You typically
10:13
Speaker 1: end up getting married, maybe you have kids, or you
10:15
Speaker 1: don't have kids, but by that point it usually happens
10:18
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five somewhere there. When you're done with school,
10:20
Speaker 1: you start working, and then you start your own life,
10:24
Speaker 1: and you've you've got to raise kids with helmets and
10:26
Speaker 1: shoulder pads and little NFL onesies in do that in
10:31
Speaker 1: places like Beijing and Melbourne and Perth before you see
10:36
Speaker 1: any real traction. And in the meantime it's a carnival act.
10:41
Speaker 1: It is an absolute leaping carnival act. The NFL is
10:45
Speaker 1: like a traveling circus. You send the elephants to Mexico,
10:47
Speaker 1: the trapeez act goes over to Sydney. You've got some
10:50
Speaker 1: clowns that go over to Asia. Step right up, come
10:53
Speaker 1: see American football. It's a freak show. Got the fire
10:56
Speaker 1: breather over there, the sword swallower in the back right me.
11:00
Speaker 1: One page two, we go to Miami, Miami, Miami, Miami, Miami,
11:04
Speaker 1: where Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill would love, would love
11:09
Speaker 1: to stay with the team. He's not gonna play any
11:12
Speaker 1: time soon, planning on returning from the season ending career
11:16
Speaker 1: threatening knee injury as the leg was bent the wrong direction.
11:21
Speaker 1: This courtesy of his agent, Drew rosenhaus the powerful agent,
11:26
Speaker 1: relaying that information via a local TV station in South Florida.
11:30
Speaker 1: Question for the esteem panel, what is your read on
11:35
Speaker 1: the super agent saying the cheetah would like to stay
11:39
Speaker 1: at the Miami Zoo, would like to stay with the Dolphins.
11:43
Speaker 1: So this one is rather easy to decode. It is
11:47
Speaker 1: you don't need to have a high sports IQ. It
11:50
Speaker 1: is Please pay my guy, Drew Rosenhauss, Please pay my
11:53
Speaker 1: guy one more time. I'd like some more money. I
11:55
Speaker 1: get a commission. I would like more money. And I
11:58
Speaker 1: say good luck Tyreek Hill. Well, by the time he
12:01
Speaker 1: comes back whenever that is, will be coming off a
12:04
Speaker 1: full blown out tire. But it's worse than a tire
12:08
Speaker 1: because you can replace a tire. It's very hard to
12:11
Speaker 1: be a professional athlete and replace a knee, blown out, knee,
12:16
Speaker 1: shredded ligaments, the whole thing. He's gonna be thirty two
12:20
Speaker 1: by the time he plausibly starts coming back. And the
12:25
Speaker 1: one thing that separated Tyreek Hill at his peak with
12:30
Speaker 1: Kansas City and Miami from the rest of the league,
12:32
Speaker 1: head and shoulders above everyone else was he was a
12:35
Speaker 1: speed race. We all know that. And even if he
12:39
Speaker 1: does return, he's going to do the dip, right, And
12:43
Speaker 1: you lose a half a step, even if it's just
12:45
Speaker 1: a half a step, you go from the cheetah to
12:48
Speaker 1: just another rag doll house cat. That's it. So are
12:51
Speaker 1: you gonna pay big money for a rag doll house cat?
12:54
Speaker 1: I get it, I totally get it. Life is about
12:57
Speaker 1: playing the cards. You're a delt and Drew rosenhal is
13:00
Speaker 1: rose and I is a very powerful agent lives in Miami,
13:03
Speaker 1: and he's trying to play them and get the deal,
13:06
Speaker 1: try to plant the seed and all that and get
13:08
Speaker 1: the numbers. And but here's the deal. Half a loaf.
13:12
Speaker 1: If your Tyreek Hill is better than none, right, half
13:14
Speaker 1: a loaf is better than none. And if you're hungry,
13:17
Speaker 1: you'll do it. And Tyreek Hill is plotting with his
13:20
Speaker 1: agent for another contract. However, he's going to have to
13:23
Speaker 1: settle for a much smaller deal coming off injury. You're
13:27
Speaker 1: not the Hontye at the bar anymore. You know, you
13:30
Speaker 1: have to go through that at some point. You know,
13:32
Speaker 1: the hot girl wakes up one morning she's no longer hot,
13:34
Speaker 1: and you still have to live your life. It's a nightmare,
13:37
Speaker 1: I know, right, but you still have to live your life,
13:39
Speaker 1: and you have to adjust. And not everyone's gonna kiss
13:41
Speaker 1: your ass, and not everyone's gonna get buy your free
13:43
Speaker 1: drinks anymore. And you know that's the you'd be like
13:46
Speaker 1: the other ugly people in the world. But teams are
13:48
Speaker 1: going to hit you with the Tyreek Hill, with the
13:51
Speaker 1: old sugar Loaf song. Don't call us, We'll call you.
13:54
Speaker 1: Don't call us, We'll call you, and you know, thanks,
13:56
Speaker 1: but no thanks. But the whole league is going to
13:58
Speaker 1: look at him and say, all right, let's do the
14:01
Speaker 1: ven diagram. So you've got really good career, really shady
14:06
Speaker 1: off the field activity, but really good career. Appreciate the memories.
14:10
Speaker 1: I appreciate the memories, but we do not need a
14:13
Speaker 1: rebuilt knee and declining speed. We're good, all right? Now,
14:18
Speaker 1: final point and a final thought. We go to Cincinnati
14:22
Speaker 1: is where we go? Where Bengals wide receiver Jamar Chase
14:25
Speaker 1: getting ready to play the Lions this weekend of the game,
14:28
Speaker 1: Cincinnati should lose by about seventy points. So Jamar Chase
14:32
Speaker 1: is annoyed. That got our attention. Yeah, Jamar Chase, wide
14:36
Speaker 1: receiver Cincinnati Bengals annoyed with the now viral clip of
14:40
Speaker 1: him screaming and shouting, reading right in the face of
14:45
Speaker 1: his embattled coach Zack Taylor, a heated interaction on the
14:50
Speaker 1: sidelines of the Week four loss to the Broncos. Now,
14:53
Speaker 1: when asked if he thought that incident with the Bengals
14:57
Speaker 1: coach Zach Taylor was over and that's the word that
15:01
Speaker 1: was used, Jamar Chase answered, everything I do? He said,
15:06
Speaker 1: everything I do is pretty much overblown. Close quote question,
15:12
Speaker 1: can you parse the words of the Bengals disgruntled wide
15:16
Speaker 1: receiver Jamar Chase saying everything he does is pretty much
15:20
Speaker 1: over blown? All right? So on this one, this is
15:25
Speaker 1: the Jamar Chase. I don't know if you buy tickets
15:27
Speaker 1: for it. It's his pity tour. It's it's like dua lipa,
15:31
Speaker 1: but it's a pity tour. He's he's pulling the Woe
15:34
Speaker 1: is Me routine is what he's doing on this one.
15:37
Speaker 1: And you play in Cincinnati. Cincinnati is a good time right,
15:42
Speaker 1: Northern Kentucky's where your airport is. If you live in Cincinnati,
15:45
Speaker 1: you're in market number thirty four, TV market number thirty
15:48
Speaker 1: four where Skyline Chile is a local delicacy. Skyline Chili
15:53
Speaker 1: was justin who lives in Cincinnati says is less less
15:58
Speaker 1: attractive to him than vomit. You have WKRP and Cincinnati,
16:04
Speaker 1: the iconic TV show where reruns or streaming of WKRP
16:08
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati is it's like a cultural export. WKRP in Cincinnati.
16:13
Speaker 1: And as God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.
16:17
Speaker 1: Greatest line ever on a sitcom? Does anyone disagree with
16:20
Speaker 1: that greatest line ever on a sitcom? WKRP the radio
16:24
Speaker 1: station promotion the turkey drop, And as God is my witness,
16:28
Speaker 1: I thought turkeys could fly.
16:29
Speaker 3: Anyway, back to the monologue, So nobody, nobody is overblowing
16:35
Speaker 3: anything unless you count balloons at Octoberfest in Cincinnai.
16:41
Speaker 1: If you so much as raise your voice on the sideline.
16:45
Speaker 1: Of course, it is a story, because otherwise the story
16:50
Speaker 1: out of the market is Bengals fans mad about bridge traffic,
16:55
Speaker 1: you know, Bengals fans upset about concession lines. This is
17:00
Speaker 1: the star player screaming in the coach's face. It is
17:03
Speaker 1: a classic trope of sports. When this happens, it's a story.
17:08
Speaker 1: It's just not normal. That's not just having a pow
17:13
Speaker 1: wow on the silence. It's not just talking. And you
17:15
Speaker 1: know what this is. Jamar Chase is trying to play
17:18
Speaker 1: the victim card. Except he's playing the victim card. He's
17:22
Speaker 1: dealing it from the bottom of the deck right like
17:25
Speaker 1: some shady poker player at the jack casino. Jamar's got
17:29
Speaker 1: one hundred and twelve million Geronte guaranteed dead president. It's
17:35
Speaker 1: a lot. So the point of this is he can
17:38
Speaker 1: afford Jamar Chase an emotional support miniature horse, a really
17:43
Speaker 1: nice miniature horse, and he can have it on the
17:45
Speaker 1: sidelines before games and after games. He can walk that
17:48
Speaker 1: little miniature horse up and down the sidelines, up and
17:51
Speaker 1: down the white lines. He can let it eat the
17:53
Speaker 1: divots on the field and just have a nice meal there.
17:56
Speaker 1: It can be friends with Kirk Kirbstreet's dog, Peter. I
18:00
Speaker 1: can be friends with kirkirbstreet stog Peter. And when you're
18:03
Speaker 1: cashing checks like that, don't get to say everything is overblown.
18:09
Speaker 1: And so I'm sorry, not sorry. You are the franchise
18:12
Speaker 1: wide out. You're the face of the team because Joe
18:15
Speaker 1: burrows out right now. So it's Jamar Chase's team and
18:18
Speaker 1: you're not some practice squad gunner, some roster fodder. And
18:23
Speaker 1: that's football, that's life. That is how all of this works.
18:28
Speaker 1: It is the Ben Mallor show in how this works
18:31
Speaker 1: now is I give out the number, and then you
18:34
Speaker 1: decide whether or not you want to call, and you
18:37
Speaker 1: make that decision. I can't make that decision for you.
18:39
Speaker 1: You'll have to make that decision. Eight seven seven. You
18:43
Speaker 1: write that down eight seven seven nine nine six six
18:45
Speaker 1: three six nine. You see that's the number. Eight seven
18:49
Speaker 1: seven nine nine six six three sixty nine. If you
18:52
Speaker 1: want to be part now, if you don't want to
18:53

24:52
Speaker 1: was answer, was that Taylor Swift? So yeah, a legend. Well,
25:01
Speaker 1: you know, he said Taylor Swift. I mean he said
25:03
Speaker 1: the dog, he said. When he travels, people want to
25:05
Speaker 1: take photos with the dog. You want to get a
25:07
Speaker 1: nice photo with the dog more popular than he is,
25:10
Speaker 1: I guess, I guess so. Yeah, I wonder how he's
25:13
Speaker 1: able to get the dog into these stadiums because typically
25:16
Speaker 1: they don't allow you just to bring a dog unless
25:18
Speaker 1: you need it. Although I did see the Dodger game
25:20
Speaker 1: the other night somebody brought a dog and it didn't
25:21
Speaker 1: look like it was a service dog. It looked like
25:24
Speaker 1: it was a fan dog. And it wasn't a bark
25:26
Speaker 1: in the park event. Now they have bark in the
25:28
Speaker 1: park where you can bring the dogs in, but it
25:30
Speaker 1: wasn't bark in the park. Yeah, it's just a normal,
25:33
Speaker 1: a normal thing. It's crazy. Jonathan writes, and he says,
25:37
Speaker 1: I miss this show. I used to listen every night
25:39
Speaker 1: when working in Nashville. It's been years now since I
25:43
Speaker 1: have listened. But I really don't think I have the
25:45
Speaker 1: time to get back in with everything else I have
25:47
Speaker 1: to listen to each week unfortunately. Like, so, let me ask,
25:51
Speaker 1: what why would you bother sending that message? I don't
25:56
Speaker 1: just like I'm a douche. Just right, Hey, I'm a douche.
26:00
Speaker 1: I don't have to send that message like if it's
26:02
Speaker 1: important the way it is important enough you'll find time
26:06
Speaker 1: for it. If it's not important enough, you will not
26:08
Speaker 1: find time for it. So it's not like that big
26:11
Speaker 1: a deal. If you value what the show is, you'll
26:14
Speaker 1: make it work. Let's go back to the phills. Let's
26:16
Speaker 1: say hello to Andrea in Berkeley. She's the astrology insider.
26:22
Speaker 1: She's got all the dirt on these storylines. Wild Ram
26:27
Speaker 1: forty nine er game, Baseball playoffs, Cam Schlickler or whatever
26:31
Speaker 1: his name is, pitching gray for the Yankees. Hello, Andrea, Welcome.
26:35
Speaker 4: Hello, oh Ben, how are you?
26:37
Speaker 1: If I was any better, I'd be a sock, but
26:40
Speaker 1: not a Red Sox because if I was a Red Sock, well,
26:43
Speaker 1: I've been vacation right now. That's not bad to be
26:45
Speaker 1: on vacation. People like vacation, right, that's good, right.
26:48
Speaker 2: I mean I do like this time of year with
26:52
Speaker 2: the baseball playoffs and football, So obviously I watch the
26:56
Speaker 2: forty nine ers and the Yankees. Obviously you know I'm
27:00
Speaker 2: a Mets fan, but nonetheless, if it's Yankees, Red Sox,
27:04
Speaker 2: so route for the Yankees, and can you pronounce Cam's
27:08
Speaker 2: last name again for me? Please?
27:11
Speaker 1: So you want you're putting me on the spot here,
27:13
Speaker 1: You realize that this is very dangerous. It could be
27:15
Speaker 1: an fc SEE violation. But I will pronounce it right now.
27:18
Speaker 1: Cam Slitler, Thanks Slitler, Schlittler, just call him Cam Slitler.
27:24
Speaker 2: Okay. The reason I asked is because I said it
27:28
Speaker 2: the wrong way when I spoke to Coop and we
27:30
Speaker 2: had a good laugh about it, but we didn't want
27:33
Speaker 2: to make the same mistake twice.
27:34
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I know, I know there is there are
27:36
Speaker 1: people been I guess this happened this week. Somebody in
27:39
Speaker 1: Boston sent me a clip where one of the hosts
27:41
Speaker 1: on the Sports Hub said he said the S word
27:45
Speaker 1: on the air. Yeah. I mean, yeah, it's easy.
27:48
Speaker 2: To do, you know, an honest mistake. So nonetheless it was,
27:53
Speaker 2: you know, quite something. Twenty four year old rookie. He's
27:57
Speaker 2: born February twenty fifth, two thousand one, and they get
28:01
Speaker 2: younger and younger, and he's an Aquarius, and you know,
28:06
Speaker 2: Mars is an important plan for an athlete who has energy, assertion, aggression.
28:11
Speaker 2: He has Mars in scorpio, which is very strong and powerful.
28:14
Speaker 2: As you know, you hang out with scorpios and Mars
28:18
Speaker 2: is in scorpio now, so he's having a Mars return
28:22
Speaker 2: Ben once every two years. So talk about you know,
28:26
Speaker 2: right timing, being in the right place at the right time.
28:29
Speaker 2: I mean, twelve strikeouts. It was like a masterpiece. And
28:34
Speaker 2: I think Boone said something like a star is born.
28:39
Speaker 2: You know, that was pretty exciting to see that. And yeah,
28:43
Speaker 2: I mean you get to see these you know, he
28:45
Speaker 2: just rose to the moment and no runs. He pitched
28:49
Speaker 2: eight innings. You know, they let him go out and
28:52
Speaker 2: pitch eight innings. And I'm kind of old school I
28:54
Speaker 2: like to see that. So it was just, you know,
28:58
Speaker 2: kind of a powerful performance and it was just really
29:02
Speaker 2: inspiring to see that. And the Yankees obviously are advancing
29:06
Speaker 2: to the next level.
29:08
Speaker 1: So it was just they're leaving the country. They're going
29:11
Speaker 1: to Canada on Saturday, right o Kada. Yeah, didn't match
29:18
Speaker 1: up their bad blood, right, they don't like each other,
29:21
Speaker 1: right right. Yankee broadcaster mocked the Blue Jays. Blue Jay
29:24
Speaker 1: broadcaster mocked the Yankees. So there's some good stuff there, sure.
29:28
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, I like this time of year with
29:30
Speaker 2: the playoffs. You know, I kind of wish the Mets
29:32
Speaker 2: were in there, but no such luck to say the well, I.
29:37
Speaker 1: Don't know how they didn't get in. They're watching the Reds.
29:39
Speaker 1: It amazes me. The Mets could not be better than the Reds.
29:41
Speaker 6: That's right.
29:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know it'll be an interesting thing. But it
29:47
Speaker 2: was just great to see that he really got a
29:51
Speaker 2: nice ovation.
29:52
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a good night, big night. Now he's
29:55
Speaker 1: got to back it up in the in the American
29:57
Speaker 1: League Divisional Series. Well, Andrew, thank you, have a great weekend,
29:59
Speaker 1: and go in service. You want to say hello to Andrea.
30:02
Speaker 1: She's the astrology insider on the show, and there she
30:06
Speaker 1: goes where she goes, Well she's supposed to only know,
30:11
Speaker 1: but we know she thinks that late night, early morning back.
30:14
Speaker 1: Let's say hello to Manuel in Guardina, a legendary sports
30:19
Speaker 1: talk radio caller. Manuel in Guardiana, Hello, Manuel, welcome, he's.
30:24
Speaker 6: In the air everywhere. Oh man, what a fiasco Friday
30:34
Speaker 6: has become for um fans. Man that that was one
30:38
Speaker 6: crappy game and crappy effort last night. I don't if
30:41
Speaker 6: you noticed either. I want to address the elephant in
30:44
Speaker 6: the room, the elephant side of the hits. Two of
30:47
Speaker 6: your linemen had hits so big that they had these
30:54
Speaker 6: barbecue covers over their helmets because they couldn't even get
30:58
Speaker 6: league man dated riplic the helmets on these sat bastard
31:04
Speaker 6: heads and then they go out and lay an egg
31:07
Speaker 6: like that. Bennie, what the hell is going on with
31:09
Speaker 6: your team?
31:10
Speaker 2: Man?
31:11
Speaker 1: Well, listen, I hope you're enjoying this. And uh, And
31:15
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna I'm not I'm not gonna push back.
31:18
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say your quarterback is Gindo Smith. I'm
31:20
Speaker 1: not gonna. I mean, I could do that. I could
31:22
Speaker 1: do a whole thing on the Raiders and how embarrassing
31:24
Speaker 1: it is to be a Raider Raider supporter. Uh, and
31:27
Speaker 1: the fact that they've been an embarrassment for you for
31:30
Speaker 1: twenty five years. But I'm not. I'm not gonna be
31:32
Speaker 1: that guy. I'm not going to be that guy. It
31:34
Speaker 1: was an embarrassing knight for the Rams. They deserve to
31:36
Speaker 1: take a lot of heat. They didn't show up and
31:38
Speaker 1: give it. All you have to do is show up,
31:39
Speaker 1: give an honest effort to beat the forty nine erslop
31:43
Speaker 1: with the Rams are not the only ones wearing those.
31:47
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've noticed, Like every team in
31:49
Speaker 1: the NFL is a couple of guys that have the
31:51
Speaker 1: they call it. What does it called the special name
31:53
Speaker 1: for it. I forget what Guardian cab. Guardian cab, Why.
31:58
Speaker 6: Did you become fan Francisco Giants?
32:01
Speaker 1: How am I a Giants fan?
32:03
Speaker 6: Well? Sure, Helena Dodgers fan. Every time I turn on
32:07
Speaker 6: the show, you're bashing freaking Stable.
32:09
Speaker 1: I got I gotta count, I gotta one.
32:13
Speaker 6: Hell's wrong with you? Mad Well?
32:17
Speaker 1: I got I gotta counter all the other guys who
32:20
Speaker 1: wear knee pads for the Dodgers, like Caves say on
32:22
Speaker 1: those guys. So I don't wear knee pads. I I
32:25
Speaker 1: hate that. And uh, listen to the Dodgers bullpens an embarrassment
32:28
Speaker 1: that they do not have a championship level bullpen, and
32:30
Speaker 1: nobody wants to talk about that. So I feel like
32:32
Speaker 1: it's like it's probably the news service. It's embarrassing level team.
32:36
Speaker 6: You cute, and you better get ready because this train
32:40
Speaker 6: is rolling right down back to back world championship status station.
32:46
Speaker 6: Damn it.
32:47
Speaker 1: Okay, I listen. I doubt that's going to happen, but
32:50
Speaker 1: I hope it does. I hope you're right. I hope
32:52
Speaker 1: you are right.
32:53
Speaker 6: You've done one of those barbecue cover ram oversized helmets
32:58
Speaker 6: and all day round it all night bidding.
33:03
Speaker 1: All right. By the way, Gino Smith is the twenty
33:06
Speaker 1: ninth rank quarterback in the NFL, which I'm told is
33:09
Speaker 1: not good. And I didn't play in the NFL, so
33:11
Speaker 1: maybe I'm wrong on that he's the twenty ninth rank quarterback.
33:14
Speaker 1: He's worse than Spencer Rattler of the New Orleans Saints,
33:18
Speaker 1: who's I'm told bad. I'm told he's bad, worse than that. Anyway,
