• 2:54
  Speaker 1: forty years, Tyrak has been helping customers like Alf the Alien,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: opinter Fergna, Doug Malleprop Guy, and Ya Femi in Chicago
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: find the right tires for how, what and where they drive,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: ship fast and free back by free road hazard protection
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation, tireact dot Com,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: the way the tire buying show.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Be.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: So the rare, inappropriate, rare and appropriate lead story not
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: from the NFL playoffs, not from the NFL. In January,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: with just a few weeks to go in the NFL
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: season before the super Bowl, hype gets cranked up. He
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: got this weekend, one more weekend and then it's all
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: two weeks of hype and the super Bowl and it's
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: all over. But our lead from rich people getting richer.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: What a story, What a codit day? What if you
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: didn't see this? So the Mets owner Steve Cohen, who
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: every Met fan told me was God's gift to the
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Mets that they had all those bad years. But this
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: was the guy Steve Kahn met fanboy bought the team.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Every player wants to play for the Mets, so Steve
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Cohen posted on social media. This is a few hours ago.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: He posted, let me know when you see smoke. Vague, vague, vague,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: old guy social media. The indication was that the Mets.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: The implication was that, and many assumed that that meant
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: the Mets were about to add the big kahuna in
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: free agency. Psych turns out that was a false alarm
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: if you did not keep track of the events of
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: the day here in the little sporting world that we
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: live in, little box that we're in. Maybe not. We've
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: learned that free agent outfielder Kyle Tucker is taking his
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: talents to the back to back champs, not Dodgers, on
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: a four year, two hundred and forty million dollars deal.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Of course, nothing the Dodgers do is what it seems
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: At Hollywood, everything is smoking mirrors. The top free agent
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: who was struggling to find a job gets a contract
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: with the Dodgers. It contains a bunch of opt outs
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: and loop the loops and slides and transfer portal buttons
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: to press and all that stuff. In the meantime, at
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: least for the short term. He will get first two
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: years sixty million dollars per year, slightly more than you
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: and I make sixty million per year for Kyle Tucker. Okay,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: that is a good jumping off point. Let us discuss
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: the question why why did free agent outfielder Kyle Tucker
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: agree to go to the Dodgers. He had the Mets interested,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: the Blue Jays, there were several other teams that were
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: said to be interest, including the Mystery team. So my
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: thoughts on this. I've got political caucus, Will Ferrell and
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: patient zero, and we will combine all of these things
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: together and we are going to make some pastrami fries
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: is what we're gonna make. It'll sound pretty good. Why
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: not little cheese pastrami, some onions. Put that all together,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Boom done, and of course the potato. So a listen,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: why did Kyle Tucker go to the Dodgers? This is simple.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: You've got geography, gravity, and greed and little side of glamour,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: little side of glamour. He doesn't sell tickets. No one's
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: going out to watch Kyle Tucker play baseball, which is
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: all the more amazing that he was able to finagle
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: sixty million dollars a year out of the Dodgers. Now
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: it's clear, based on a minutes long Mallard deliberation, that
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: one thing I know, Kyle Tucker did not want to
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: make a run for the border. That he had the
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Blue Jays all hot and heavy and horny playing footsie
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: with him, and Toronto tried to woo him. There was
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: some chatter of a ten year marriage proposal, ten years,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: ten years, and Tucker said, I don't want poutine with
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: my payroll. Hard pass, hard pass. So it became dueling pillows,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: not pianos, dueling pillars. Remember that the pillow offer is
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: the short term contract that let's you go back to
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: market if you don't get the offer you want. So
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: it's clear that Tucker didn't get what he wanted, which
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: seems crazy to say when the man's going to be
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: making sixty million dollars a year average annual value. But
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: still he wanted the forever deal. I didn't get it.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: So we had a couple of pillow offers, the Mets
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: and the Dodgers. So you had the temper Pedic cloud
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: versus Blue Harmony pillow, and Tucker picked Blue Harmony Southern
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: California sixty millions a year. That's a lot of harmony
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: for sixty million dollars a year. Kyle Tucker joins the
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Blue Crew political caucus. And the thing about this is,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: it's always odd to me when guys do this, like
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: he could have been the man. You can't be the man.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: If you're the Dodger guy, you're not gonna be the man.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: This is giving vibes of when Kevin Durant went to
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: join the Golden State Warriors. I don't think Tucker's as
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: good as Durant, but anyway, now we're close. But anyway,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Kyle Tucker, he joined the Big Blue, the Big Blue
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: political caucus, and he chose to be the vice president,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: the running mate instead of the president. So now he
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: will be the running mate for Sho Hail Tani. And
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: that makes Tucker, what fourth in the pecking order. Usually
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: the vice president his second, but he's fourth in the
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: pecking order at Chevezravin behind the obviously Tani's at the
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: very top. He's he's like secretariat. And then you got
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman, and then after that Kyle Tucker
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: with a wink and a nod to the fresh Prince
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: of bel Air there will Smith. But I don't love
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: the player. I don't I don't love the player. I've
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: said that. I'm not gonna all of a sudden change
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: my tune because he's with the Dodge. I hope he
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: does well. I hope he plays well for the Dodgers.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: I just I wouldn't have made this move. But it's
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: you know, they got so much money. They don't know
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: what they all. They keep jacking up the prices at
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Dodgers Stadium on everything. They got the money from Japan.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: They don't know what to do with all the money.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: And most of the players they're paying it's all deferred
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: money anyway, so it's a money making operation. It's even
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: more impressive than what the Yankees said back in the
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: day with Steinbrenner when they had the old Man. Not
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: the kids who don't even try, but the old man.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: And you talk about an upgrade. Though, Dodgers had that
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: stiff Michael Confordo in the outfield who batted under two
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: hundred and sucked for about one hundred games. There were
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: a few games he played well, most of the time
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: was terrible. And now they have Tucker coming in there.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: And they think he's gonna be hitting missiles. He's got
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: no not no pressure, but a lot less pressure because
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: again he's not the man. He's way down on the list,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: and a chance to win more championships. And there's a
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: bunch of opt outs which are like gold bars up
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: the wazoo. And you didn't join the Dogs to be
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: the guy because you can't be the guy, but you
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: join them to be a guy who wins. And there's
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: no reason I think the Dodgers aren't gonna be right
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: back in the World Series. Again, there's nobody who can
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: match them talent wise in the National League. Of course,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: this roster will be tattered to bits by the time
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: we get to the All Star break, so everyone gets hurt.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: That's what happens now page two. So the question for
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: page two, what do you like and what do you
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: dislike about the big free agent, the number one free
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: agent on the Kyle Tucker taking his talents to the Dodgers.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: So let's start. I'll be Benny bright Side to start here.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: It is a supersized combo meal deal. This is what
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: the nerds love. They love it. They get all aroused
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: when they see the power and the speed, the combo meal,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: thirty home run power. He'll steal a bunch of bases.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: He's a professional pickpocket. I guess the Dodgers is gonna
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: have to run more and he does it. He's pit clean,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: pretty smooth operator. Smooth operator out there, and he's had
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: a good success rate stealing bases and all that. And
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: he's not a guy that strikes out a ton, which
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: is rare in baseball these days. He's he's not some
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: kind of free swinging carnival act which like Max Munsei
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: or somebody like that. He's got some plate discipline. He
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: kind of fits that kind of he does fit the
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: Dodger way, just kind of wait you out and all that,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: low strikeouts, high walks left handed that he's. The other
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: thing I like is he's twenty nine, so he's in
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: the sweet spot of his athletic prime. You're buying it's
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: like going to tire rack and buying fresh tires. They're
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: not going out to some chop shop somewhere and buying retreads.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: And now to be Betty Buzzkill, because why not. He
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: does have astro DNA, which makes me want to puke
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: in my mouth. It does. However, he was not the
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: poster boy for the cheating Astros in twenty seventeen. In fact,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: he didn't even play for the Astros in twenty seventeen.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: So I want nobody from the twenty seventeen Astros of
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: any prominence on the Dodgers. Ever, he wasn't on that
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: twenty seventeen cheating team that was allowed to get away
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: with it because the sport of baseball has no leadership.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: They have a spineless, gutless commissioner. So he wasn't on
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: that twenty seventeen The other thing that I think is
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: hilarious to me, as I did some monologues if you
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: listened every night during the summer in previous episodes of
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: the show summer of twenty twenty five, and the story
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: was when Kyle Tucker was playing for Tree in Chicago's
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: Cubs and Yapheemi and all those guys in Eugene, the
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: story was that Kyle Tucker was going to get six
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: hundred million dollars in free agency. Of course, it was
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: likely that story was leaked by I don't know, Scott Boris,
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: his agent, and then he went out and Kyle Tucker
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: sucked at a time you cannot suck with the Cubbies
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: in the friendly confines there in the second half of
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: the season, and so now he's taking that very expensive
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Egyptian pillow with the Dodgers. And the reason not only
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: did he struggle, but the other other thing I don't
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: really care for is humpty dumpty, and you sign players
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: nobody else has its take. By the way, you sign
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: players who get hurt, they keep getting hurt. You can't
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: be surprised, like you guys should be on the injury
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: this or DL whatever it is. He's had the shin problem,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: a hand issue, the calf, he's been banged up like
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: a circus cannon ball before they added the safety net
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: back in the day. And so defensively, supposedly, he's on
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: the decline. He used to be a premium level defensive
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: player with the leather. Now it's more like vinyl, and
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: so he's serviceable, it's not as good, you know, day
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: to day. The other thing about this is he is
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: a what I call a Will Ferrell type of player
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: from old school that remember that old movie Old School there,
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: that's it. I can't believe it's an old movie now,
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: but it is. But Will Ferrell, that classic line, we're
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: going streaking. Yeah, so he's he's hot for a month
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: and invisible and uh yeah, there it is right there.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: And so they say he's a Swiss Army knife, which
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: means he's not really great in any one area, but
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: he'll he'll be pretty good in all areas. Just don't
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: ask him to come out and be a chainsaw, because
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: that's not going to be what he does. There, high
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: floor kind of the warranty is not that great. And
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: so you enjoy the ride, you might want to keep
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: the receipt. You might want to file that away and
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: just make sure you have at least a photo of
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: it on your phone or something like that. Now the
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: last word here. This happens every year. Now, it's a tradition.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: Like the swallows returning to Capistrano. The Dodgers make a
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: big move in free agency. They add one of the
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: top players on the market, if not the top player
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: in the market. And this leads to what do you
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: know what? Yeah, okay, you know, primal scream. Primal scream
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: around baseball. It's not fair. Oh my god, we need
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: a salarycap. The Dodger trying to win and my team's
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: not trying to win, and I don't like that, but
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: your cry babies, all right. So a question, do you
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: have any advice for Major League Baseball fans suffering from
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: what I call the blue flu over Kyle Tucker landing
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: in La La Land. So I look at the immediate
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: reaction on the socials and the drive by sports media,
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: who are in total meltdown, and I laugh, I laugh,
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: I laugh, I laugh. And so for twenty twenty six,
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: Kyle Tucker is patient zero. He is the one that
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: is spreading the latest wave of the blue flu, very contagious.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: If you're a fan of the Pirates or the Reds
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: or the Athletics or the Diamondbacks or the Mariners or
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: one of those teams and it's about to become a
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: full blown pandemic against you might want to go out
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: and buy some bottled water and some toilet paper, because
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: that's what we do in pandemics. I learned that in
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty, way back in the day. So this is
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: a classic case of Dodger derangement syndrome. DDS. You think
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: it's unfair, Oh my god, it's a yeah. Hey, life's
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: unfair that the Dodgers are not just a team. They
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: are the death star with a better dental plan is
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: what they are. And you dopes that are sobbing right,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Oh it's so bad. Oh my god, this sacty like gay.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: Give me a freaking break, you'd losers. Okay, The reality
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: for those of you with a functioning brain is that
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers are at the very top of the baseball pyramid.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: We know that everything goes through They are the gold standard.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: And while the rest of the league plays tidley wings,
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: the boys a blue every year are big game hunting,
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: and they're getting shamed for it. Imagine a business where
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: you try to win and other people look down upon
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: you for doing that. It's not right. Give us a chance?
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: Why why? And I don't get listen, I would want
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: to work for somebody that overpays their employees. Would do
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: you like your boss to low ball you? I don't.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: When my boss is low balling, I get upset. Do
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: you do you like when they lowball you? I don't.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: I want to work for a company that pays their employees'
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: top dollar. That's what I want. Now, you're a loser
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: and you want to work for somebody that is a tightwad.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: That's on you that's on you. And hey, look, if
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: you look at the evidence here, it's working. The twenty
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: twenty five World Series between the Dodgers and the Blues
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: and I love being I wan on the radio all
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: over Canada right now. We got great listenership and big
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: cities all over from Vancouver all the way across.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm a big fan, right love. Our friends have
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: brothers and sisters in Canada and they listen to the show. However, normally,
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: when a Canadian team is in a championship in American sports,
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: it doesn't get ratings. The World Series of twenty twenty
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: five between the Dodgers and the Blue Jays set new
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: records for viewership and ratings. So you think people tuned in,
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: I was like fifty something million people tune into Game
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: seven Dodgers and Jays to see the spirit of the
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: game from the Blue Jays.
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: No, people watched because they wanted to see the empire fall.
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: They wanted to see the Dodgers choke, and they almost did.
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: They almost did. Almost doesn't count.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: And the other thing a lot of people don't understand,
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: I guess they're not really baseball fans is Baseball has
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: been a weak link sport, the weak link of baseball,
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: meaning that you can have five amazing players and then
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: you get the Game seven of the World Series. You're
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: a couple outs away from being eliminated. It's ninth inning,
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: and you got this scrub, thirty six year old stiff,
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: a two sixty career hitter, just the average baseball player,
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: Miguel Rojas, who man's up, puts big balls, bob pants on,
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: and goes out there and hits a dinger to tie
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: the game. The dagger. All right, the Dodger didn't win
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: the World Series. They couldn't have without a basically scrub
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: hitting a home run. And everyone's all up in arms,
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: and so come on, the just stop. It's I do,
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: and I do get a kick out of it. I
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: like the the reaction because it's kind of a it's
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: kind of amusing to me, the freak out factor. It
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: is the Ben Malor Show. If you would like to
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: comment on this, this big developing story here on the

• 22:57
  Speaker 1: here as another domino has fallen in some chatter overnight
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: on Who's Next. We'll get to that in a minute.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: Also the layaway plan, because you got to have a
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: layaway plan, it's very important. Did you have a layoway place?
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: It reminds me of Kmart back in the day. Yeah,
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: I'm older, so I was a Toys r Us kid
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: and we had it. They had to lay away Toys
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: r Us. I'm jealous. I miss Toys r Us because
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: that was you know, that was kind of I guess
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: they're coming. Are they coming back? I don't know. Somebody
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: said they're coming back. I don't I'm not sure about that.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Jill writes in from Minnesota. She says, I'm so happy
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: you opened up with baseball. Absolutely ridiculous. How much tougher
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: for the Yankees to get Cody Bellinger back now it's
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: out of hand. Then the twenty twenty seven no baseball
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: She's she can plain, well, yeah, it's not looking great.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: It's although if you're a fan of caps and salary
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: caps and putting artificial restrictions on salary, then you should
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: be very happy because every move the Dodgers make gets
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: you a little closer to us salary cap. Because all
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: these these tightwad owners that don't want to spend any
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: money in Pittsburgh and Sacramento, Vegas, Oakland, wherever the hell
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: the A's are, and Tampa Bay, all these places. At Marlin's,
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: they'll just they'll rally around and try to get a
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: couple of big money teams to say, Hey, we gotta
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: get a cap. Let's do it, and why not? Now?
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: I do have a fun fact. I want to dedicate
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: to Jill. Do we have the fun facts? Sound very important? Fun?
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: Always have the funess for Jill in Minnesota.
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: Fun fact.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: So, Dodger outfielder Kyle Tucker, that's weird to say. Kyle
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: Tucker will be making more than fifty He's gonna make
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: fifty percent more than Yankees star Aaron Judge on a
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: on an average annual value. Kyle Tucker, it's gonna make
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: fifty percent more than Aaron Judge of the Yankees. Will
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: he get a new contract renegotiation? I'm gonna go know, Ryan,
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: and San Diego writes, and he says, I think very
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: highly of you. With that said, I give you a
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: zero out of ten on the monologue Why and then
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: he lists the three reasons. He says, Shohil Tani is
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: in Dodger Blue Artie Marino is managing the payroll like
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: we are the Florida Marlins or the Pirates. Well, I
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: don't know if you know this, Ryan, you are the
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: Florida Marlins and the Pirates. In fact, you're worse than
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: the Florida Marlins. The Angels are worse. They have the
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: longest playoff drought in baseball. They're not even trying. The
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: only players would love to play for the Angels. You
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: get to live in like Newport Beach or Laguna Mike
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: Trout lives in Laguna Beach in Orange County. Beautiful weather, Right,
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: you don't have to deal with the La bullcrap like
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: the Dodger guys do with all the vagrants and the
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: terrible politicians in LA. It's a little different Orange County.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: And and yet they still can't get anybody. And Ryan's
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: upset too. He says, this week's all about the La Rams.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: There you go, Well, we will. We have plenty of time.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: It's a four hour radio show. Fat daddy who knows
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: a thing or two about bad angel baseball. He's in Sokew,
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: he says, great monologue as always, Big Ben. Kyle Tuck,
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: that guy's damaged goods. Scott Mooreris stole money again from
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers. Higher ticket prices, Frank McCourt Moore parking fees
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: for him, a common Dodger fan is priced out. Again,
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: only aristo aristocrats can afford. Well, that's not really the
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: thing in baseball, but they they certainly gouge you every
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: chance they get at Dodger Stadium. It's not fan friendly,
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: that's for sure. They don't even pretend like that. He
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: used to brag about that years ago, million years ago. Oh,
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: you know, the greatest deal in town and all that
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: bring the whole family, you know, for whatever I've in
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: the terrible He seems to think that Kyle Tucker played
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: for the twenty seventeen cheating Astros. He did not. I
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: know you're disappointed by that. Fergdog says, I'm guessing Kyle
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: Tucker's deferred money is one million dollars. He says, late
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: night drug tests I'm glad the Dodgers aren't in the
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: American League, so the Royals won't face them in October
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: until the World Series. I keep telling myself that it
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: has to come true, right, Yeah, you know, it's if
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: you make the playoffs, right, and the Dodgers is gonna
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: win the Nation League West. But if you like the
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: Giants or the Diamondbacks, when these other teams in the
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: division or anyone else in baseball, it's in a seven
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: game series. We've the Dodgers haven't exactly dominated every playoff run.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: They haven't even with all these great players. So just
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: like chill out, it's it's everything will be okay. Neil
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: rights and he says problem with baseball is the owners,
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: not the Dodgers. He says. Shannon Moyes says cat Lady
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: for cat Lady call over the Year or Alf and
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: cat Lady for cat Power couple of the Year. And
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: Josh in Nebraska says the Cub season should be protested.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: You let Kyle Tucker walk away for a cheater. Alex
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: Bregman not gonna watch. That's what Josh says. He's done.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: That's it. You can send a message on X at
• 27:55

• 33:28
  Speaker 1: ago made me go pop pop fizz fizz. Oh what
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: a relief it is? How about that one?
• 33:34
  Speaker 6: Isn't that the alcaster?
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: You think? You think?
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure it is.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: What what what have you gotten to your point?
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: Yet? No? Well, what we're what I called about is
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: because you were upset about the trade?
• 33:47
  Speaker 6: And what what what I was like?
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: Didn't Ozzie didn't when the Braves won the World Series? Didn't.
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: Isn't that why he got? Isn't that what they wanted
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: talking about?
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: I didn't say I was upset about trade? There was
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: no trade. What are you talking about you making upset.

  Speaker 1: upset about it. I was not upset about a trade.
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: Okay, the young man, the young man that had no
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: name that that they hit the home run for the Dodgers.
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: Oh, Miguel, Miguel Rojas, Yeah, Miguel ro Yah.
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 34:14
  Speaker 6: Was it Ozzy that not a man for for for
• 34:18
  Speaker 6: the Braids?
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: Didn't he kind of wasn't he a no name? And
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: he didn't he just come out of nowhere and just
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: hit her home run?
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: And isn't that the only I mean, that's not that's
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: but well, my my point was that that's why everyone's
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: gets all worked up about these big name players in baseball.
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: And it's not like the NBA, where you if you
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: have a truly great player, they can shoot at the
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: end of a game and get him a ball, and
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: it's just it's just different in baseball because you're not
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: guaranteed to even get in the bat. You're talking about
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: I think you're talking about Eddie Rozario, not whoever.
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: I was at that.
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: I was at that NLCS, so that was back when
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: I was in the good graces there and they he
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: that was the greatest performance. I've see you at a
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: baseball player.
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't. Yeah, the Oscar Wier song was wasn't
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: this thing? Because everybody wants to be an Oscar Meyer
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: ween or that was the end of it. I don't
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: remember the beginning of it.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: But I really want to be bad.
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, want to I mean.
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: I would love you everybody.
• 35:29
  Speaker 6: Have a great night.
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Ben, a great night.
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: Go away, Dave, thank you far out Dave. Right there
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: there he is, man.
• 35:36
  Speaker 7: That was a great segment in.
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: His head, the Toys r Us Kids song. And he
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: knew the Oscar Mayer most of it. He knew most
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: of the Oscar Mayer. Oh yeah, all right. So the
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: layaway planning for the Dodgers, we are told Kyle Tucker
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: thirty million dollars deferred money for Kyle Tucker thirty million
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: dollars deferred money. That means, if the math is accurate, here,
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: what we're being told the Dodgers current projected tax payroll
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: for twenty twenty six is four hundred and thirteen million dollars.
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: That is projected to be ninety six million dollars more
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: than the Mets. And that is also going to be
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: three hundred and thirteen million dollars more than the Marlins,
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: who are currently at the very bottom. So the Dodgers
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: are spitting three hundred million dollars more than the Marlins.
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: That sound great. I gotta text Marlins man. See, it's
• 36:28
