Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Boom Shaka Laca. It's our nab to our number two
- 0:08Speaker 1: talking baseball, and there is high drama in Toronto spring
- 0:13Speaker 1: training camp. Slugger of Vladimir Guerrero's contract talks with the
- 0:16Speaker 1: Blue Jays have ended at an in pass. What does
- 0:20Speaker 1: Toronto do now? Also, who's going to be making a
- 0:23Speaker 1: run at Vladi Guerrero Junior via trade and then free agency?
- 0:28Speaker 1: And in Boston, franchise legend David Ortiz was deputized to
- 0:35Speaker 1: patch things over with Rafael Devers and the Red Sox
- 0:38Speaker 1: brass and he's sighted with Devers in the reluctance to
- 0:44Speaker 1: change positions from third base. How does that change things?
- 0:47Speaker 1: We'll talk about all of that and more right now.
- 0:51Speaker 1: It's just like a miniature horse. It's our number two, flatty,
- 0:57Speaker 1: just like his daddy Welca. In the beginning of another
- 1:04Speaker 1: hour of the Ben Malors Show, we are in the
- 1:07Speaker 1: air awhere socializing as we have good things brewing. Not
- 1:16Speaker 1: sure when they'll be done, but they're brewing right now.
- 1:19Speaker 1: Coast to coast, border, the border and beyond on the
- 1:22Speaker 1: vast and impeccably powerful microphones of fsre ammanating live from
- 1:30Speaker 1: the press. The full court press as we are broadcasting
- 1:34Speaker 1: live from the tyrack dot com studios tyraqt dot com.
- 1:37Speaker 1: We'll help you get there and unmatched selection, fast, free shipping,
- 1:42Speaker 1: free road hazard protection, over ten thousand recommended installers tyraq
- 1:47Speaker 1: dot com. The way tire buying should be. I know
- 1:51Speaker 1: Timothy from Northern Kentucky streamed ten thousand times when Ryan
- 1:57Speaker 1: called in at the end of last hours. Well, when
- 2:00Speaker 1: that effort gets protection, he's very good. Every carter back
- 2:03Speaker 1: that gets protection is good. But we're gonna turn the
- 2:05Speaker 1: page on that and we're gonna pivot to Ah, Yeah,
- 2:15Speaker 1: we go where these stories of the day take us
- 2:17Speaker 1: in this hour. That would be Canada. Some new developments
- 2:23Speaker 1: on a name brand player who is starting to put
- 2:29Speaker 1: his toe in the water, saying, hey, I want to
- 2:31Speaker 1: see what else is out there. I want to see
- 2:32Speaker 1: where the water leads me. So another big name heading
- 2:35Speaker 1: towards divorce court in baseball. Assume you've seen this, but
- 2:39Speaker 1: maybe not, maybe haven't heard yet. We learned that Vladimir
- 2:44Speaker 1: Goaretro Junior, Vladie Junior, is not long for Oh Canada. No, no, no,
- 2:50Speaker 1: he's not long for the Blue Jays either. They had
- 2:55Speaker 1: a deadline his own deadline, which was not met on
- 2:58Speaker 1: a new Mega Mega Mega contract extension. So the contract
- 3:02Speaker 1: extension did not get done before the self imposed deadline.
- 3:08Speaker 1: On Monday night, late Guerrero told reporters at Blue Jays
- 3:13Speaker 1: spring training camp they had their numbers. I had my numbers,
- 3:18Speaker 1: he said. Then he was asked what he is looking
- 3:21Speaker 1: for for his next possible team, and he said he
- 3:25Speaker 1: wanted a team that is winning. He wanted a team
- 3:28Speaker 1: that is winning. All right, So what does all this mean?
- 3:31Speaker 1: Let's decode all of this. What do you say? So,
- 3:34Speaker 1: barring a plot twist, barring a plot twist, at the
- 3:39Speaker 1: eleventh hour, the twenty five year old, twenty five year
- 3:43Speaker 1: old Vladimir Guerrero Junior is playing his final games in
- 3:51Speaker 1: a Toronto uniform and he will exit stage left. So
- 3:55Speaker 1: the question though, we know what has happened, but what
- 3:59Speaker 1: is going to happened next? So Vladimir Guerrel Junior, his
- 4:02Speaker 1: contract talks with the Blue Jays have reached impass and
- 4:06Speaker 1: he says that's it. I'm done. I'm not signing an extension.
- 4:09Speaker 1: I'm gonna test free agency. So what does Toronto do
- 4:13Speaker 1: now with Vladimir Guerrero Junior. So I've got auto club
- 4:18Speaker 1: regular customers and Foo fighters, and we will combine all
- 4:23Speaker 1: of these things together, and we're going to make a
- 4:27Speaker 1: silhouette of the map of the United States. Because every
- 4:32Speaker 1: other team outside of Toronto is in the United States.
- 4:36Speaker 1: So chances are that vlad if he leaves the Blue Jays,
- 4:39Speaker 1: by the process of elimination, we'll be playing somewhere in
- 4:42Speaker 1: the continental United States. So nam b I said, numb
- 4:49Speaker 1: burn I said, number. It didn't work that time. Damn
- 4:54Speaker 1: delayed reaction. I blame the heavy Mickey Mouse hears, That's
- 4:58Speaker 1: what I blame, all right. So my first thought on
- 5:01Speaker 1: this is where do the Blue Jays go from here?
- 5:04Speaker 1: They go to tyson Foods. Why do they go to
- 5:07Speaker 1: Tyson's Foods Because they are parked. Okay, they are parked
- 5:12Speaker 1: at this particular point. Vladie Guerrero, while he is not
- 5:16Speaker 1: a perfect player, there are some issues here and there. Overall,
- 5:21Speaker 1: he is the touchstone of the franchise and he is
- 5:26Speaker 1: going to market. He is going to put his wares
- 5:29Speaker 1: on the market. And the Blue Jays, bumping heads with
- 5:34Speaker 1: Vladimir Guerrero Junior, could not find common ground. And so
- 5:38Speaker 1: despite saying multiple times trying to try to deputize the
- 5:42Speaker 1: fan base that I want to be in Toronto my
- 5:44Speaker 1: entire career. Clearly he wants to be in Toronto if
- 5:47Speaker 1: they pay him to be in Toronto. I get it.
- 5:50Speaker 1: It's not a charity. I understand that. But when you're
- 5:54Speaker 1: saying I want to be here, and the Blue Jays
- 5:56Speaker 1: did offer him a fair amount of money, but he's like, no, no,
- 5:59Speaker 1: go someone else, see what else is out there? So
- 6:02Speaker 1: that means he's obviously fixing to leave Canada. And he's
- 6:07Speaker 1: already gone down to the Auto Club and he's picked
- 6:11Speaker 1: up a bunch of maps, got a bunch of maps there,
- 6:14Speaker 1: and all roads, all of them lead to off ramps
- 6:18Speaker 1: from the Blue Jays. Now, my advice, and I'm never
- 6:21Speaker 1: wrong about this stuff. I have all the answers doing
- 6:25Speaker 1: the Overnight Show. My advice is the Blue let it breathe.
- 6:30Speaker 1: Just take a deep breath, let it breathe. Just let
- 6:34Speaker 1: it breathe a little bit, right, But don't snooze. Do
- 6:36Speaker 1: not snooz. Just let it breathe. Right, And you don't
- 6:39Speaker 1: want to make some kind of knee jerk trade in
- 6:41Speaker 1: spring training or even in the first month of the season.
- 6:43Speaker 1: You want to do that. You also there's common great
- 6:47Speaker 1: you do not want to be Ardie Marino, who allowed
- 6:50Speaker 1: sho hel Tani to play out his contract with the
- 6:52Speaker 1: Angels and did not trade him. If the player says, hey,
- 6:57Speaker 1: I don't want to sign an extension, I'm going to
- 6:59Speaker 1: test the market telling you I don't want to be there.
- 7:02Speaker 1: So you might want to listen to them. You might
- 7:04Speaker 1: want to listen to them. Now you've got a couple
- 7:07Speaker 1: of options here. The Blue Jays don't figure to be
- 7:11Speaker 1: very good. They're projected to be a pretender. But the
- 7:16Speaker 1: reason you play it out is what if they actually
- 7:18Speaker 1: play above their means and they can be a contender
- 7:22Speaker 1: for a little bit. And the sweet spot on the
- 7:26Speaker 1: trade is mid June to the trade deadline, So sometime
- 7:32Speaker 1: in mid June, right until the trade deadline, and that's
- 7:35Speaker 1: where you get the most bang for your buck. And
- 7:39Speaker 1: that's the confluence, if you will, the confluence where everything
- 7:44Speaker 1: kind of runs together and forms this massive blob of goodness,
- 7:48Speaker 1: this massive gelatine blob of goodness. Now, secondly, all right,
- 7:54Speaker 1: who's going to make a run? You make the call,
- 7:57Speaker 1: who's going to make a run at Vladi Guerrero Junior here,
- 8:00Speaker 1: So we're gonna use the malar wheel of speculation, which
- 8:04Speaker 1: is just a great device. I got it at a
- 8:07Speaker 1: yard sale years ago. And the malar wheel of speculation
- 8:12Speaker 1: has never never run. You spin the wheel and it
- 8:15Speaker 1: goes round and round and round and round and round
- 8:17Speaker 1: and round, and and the malar wheel of speculation it
- 8:22Speaker 1: stopped at regular customers as in repeat business. Now, Guerrero's
- 8:29Speaker 1: not making ridonculous money by baseball standards right now. However, however,
- 8:34Speaker 1: he is considered a luxury item because even if you
- 8:37Speaker 1: trade for him, there's no guarantee that he's going to
- 8:39Speaker 1: sign a massive, massive, herculean sized contract extension. So as
- 8:48Speaker 1: a luxury item, you look to the Mets, you look
- 8:52Speaker 1: to the Yankees, the Red Sox, the usual regular customers
- 8:57Speaker 1: for these big ticket items. But the reason you way
- 9:00Speaker 1: until Junior July. You can fool them for a bit.
- 9:03Speaker 1: In baseball. Now, over the course of the season, we
- 9:08Speaker 1: know the line with water seeks its on level, but
- 9:10Speaker 1: over the course of the season you can kind of
- 9:12Speaker 1: fool them for a while. So let's say there's some
- 9:14Speaker 1: kind of surprise team that's got a little money burning
- 9:17Speaker 1: a hole in their pocket, and whether that's the Higantes
- 9:21Speaker 1: or the Diamondbacks or the Mariners or whoever. And they've
- 9:25Speaker 1: got money. So there's a lot of moving parts. And
- 9:27Speaker 1: then so you can sucker one of those teams in
- 9:29Speaker 1: because they get all horny they think they're gonna go
- 9:32Speaker 1: on a run in the playoffs and so but you
- 9:34Speaker 1: gotta wait, you gotta wait. Now. The other question is
- 9:36Speaker 1: how good a player is Laddie Guerrero Junior. He's not
- 9:40Speaker 1: battle tested in terms of big games, big moments, and
- 9:45Speaker 1: so he's one of these guys that, until proven otherwise,
- 9:48Speaker 1: is a prolific stat stuffer. He hasn't had much of
- 9:53Speaker 1: an opportunity, but in the playoffs, Laddie Guerrero Junior is
- 9:56Speaker 1: more mister May than mister October a one thirty six
- 9:59Speaker 1: career batting average in a small sample size. So that's
- 10:03Speaker 1: given you. Like in football, you'd say that's like Dak Prescott,
- 10:06Speaker 1: like where he puts up great numbers and he's got
- 10:08Speaker 1: four All Star appearances and a couple of Silver Sluggers.
- 10:13Speaker 1: He was the runner up for the MVP in the
- 10:15Speaker 1: American League a couple of years ago, so he's got
- 10:17Speaker 1: all that cool stuff. But yet most of it is
- 10:21Speaker 1: when the Blue Jays are eliminated, which is the day
- 10:23Speaker 1: after they leave the Grapefruit League. The day after they
- 10:27Speaker 1: leave the Grapefruit League, the blue Jays are typically eliminated.
- 10:30Speaker 1: That's it, They're done. It's all over all right now,
- 10:34Speaker 1: final point we go now by request from mister Irrigation,
- 10:39Speaker 1: who is enjoying the shot in freude of a now
- 10:45Speaker 1: former cheating as one one thousand and two one thousand
- 10:50Speaker 1: hole joining the Red Sox. It is appropriate that Alex
- 10:54Speaker 1: Bregman went to the mass holes, from the A holes
- 10:57Speaker 1: to the mass holes. But there he is. And as
- 11:01Speaker 1: the world turns at Finnway Park South, Yes, so David
- 11:08Speaker 1: Ortiz has entered the chat Big Poppy Red Sox legend
- 11:12Speaker 1: there and he is a steward of the franchise. Well,
- 11:15Speaker 1: here is a David Ortiz. He chimed in on Rafael
- 11:17Speaker 1: Devers and Alex Bregman the great debate which is going
- 11:21Speaker 1: on here, the standoff, if you will, who's going to
- 11:24Speaker 1: be the third basement. So Big Poppy stood with the incumbent,
- 11:27Speaker 1: say that Devers is quote the current David Ortiz type
- 11:33Speaker 1: player on the Red Sox. He said, calling Raffi the
- 11:36Speaker 1: team's best player. Now, as you know, best means as
- 11:41Speaker 1: good as all the rest. So Devers is as good
- 11:44Speaker 1: as every other player on the Red Sox. But wait,
- 11:47Speaker 1: there's more. Quote continues. So Big Poppy, speaking in his
- 11:51Speaker 1: native tongue, said that you're not talking about a Mickey
- 11:56Speaker 1: Mouse type of player when referencing Raffie l Devs. That's
- 12:01Speaker 1: what he said, a Mickey Mouse type player. All right,
- 12:05Speaker 1: so let us discuss franchise legend. Who's so lucky the
- 12:09Speaker 1: Mitchell report never got out. David Ortiz. David Ortiz has
- 12:15Speaker 1: sighted with Rafael Devers over Red Sox brass over Red
- 12:22Speaker 1: Sox Brass, endeavors reluctance to leave the hot corner and
- 12:27Speaker 1: change positions, become a designated hitter. So how does this
- 12:31Speaker 1: David Ortiz influence How does this change the story? All right, So,
- 12:36Speaker 1: I'm glad you asked. I'm glad you asked. So this
- 12:38Speaker 1: is the the Foo Fighters song monkey wrench. This is
- 12:42Speaker 1: a monkey wrench situation. Right when you juxtaposed what the
- 12:47Speaker 1: Red Sox assumed that David Ortiz was going to do
- 12:51Speaker 1: and what he did, this is hilarious. Listen, I got
- 12:54Speaker 1: no skin in the game. I'm not on Red Sock.
- 12:57Speaker 1: I like when the Red Sox are interesting because it's
- 12:59Speaker 1: good for talk radio purposes. But in finway is a
- 13:03Speaker 1: cool place to visit, although not designed for people my height.
- 13:06Speaker 1: But here's the other thing, right, the plan for the
- 13:09Speaker 1: Red Sox, when you judge the post what they thought.
- 13:11Speaker 1: They thought they were gonna send David Ortiz in and
- 13:14Speaker 1: he was on a peace keeping mission. He was going
- 13:17Speaker 1: to have a little chat with Rafael Devers and RAFFI, listen,
- 13:21Speaker 1: you do what the team needs you to do. You're
- 13:23Speaker 1: the franchise player. You got your money. You're gonna get
- 13:25Speaker 1: paid either way. And so they sent him in there
- 13:27Speaker 1: as a liaison between the front office, the coaching staff,
- 13:32Speaker 1: and the player. And David Ortiz was supposed to finesse
- 13:37Speaker 1: Rafaeld Devers, give him a little shoulder rub and end
- 13:40Speaker 1: all hostilities. But instead, how did that work out? Well? Yes,
- 13:46Speaker 1: instead of that, he went rogue. He went rogue David Ortiz,
- 13:51Speaker 1: and he said, you know what, I'm going to become
- 13:53Speaker 1: an arsonist. I want to extend the wildfires what I
- 13:58Speaker 1: would like to do and fan the flames. But the
- 14:01Speaker 1: issue ultimately comes down to the Red Sox who The
- 14:04Speaker 1: only reason I'm convinced they paid Devers is because they
- 14:08Speaker 1: didn't pay Mookie Bets. And then he went out and
- 14:10Speaker 1: won the World Series with the Dodgers, and so they
- 14:12Speaker 1: they couldn't keep losing everybody. Sandrew Bogarts went to the
- 14:15Speaker 1: Padres and so they had to keep one of their
- 14:18Speaker 1: young players. The devs was like the next guy. So
- 14:20Speaker 1: they panicked and they paid him, and they knew he
- 14:22Speaker 1: was eventually gonna have to leave third base. The fact
- 14:25Speaker 1: that he's continued to play third base at a little
- 14:28Speaker 1: league level and continue to be out there because of
- 14:31Speaker 1: the contract, because of the country. I mean, they were
- 14:33Speaker 1: gonna pay him, and he was making good money before,
- 14:35Speaker 1: but now he's making cartoonish money. All right, you want
- 14:38Speaker 1: to talk about any of that, You're more than welcome
- 14:40Speaker 1: to join us here. As the line has opened up

- 18:00Speaker 1: there are no mid points in the calendar. There are
- 18:03Speaker 1: just lazy talk show hosts. That's usually what happens the
- 18:06Speaker 1: quality of the show if the host is dependent on
- 18:10Speaker 1: having great topics to talk about and they're not very
- 18:14Speaker 1: good talk show hosts. This is where the wheat is
- 18:18Speaker 1: separated from the chef. Right here, this is the separation point,
- 18:22Speaker 1: this part of the calendar, and I embrace. I embrace
- 18:26Speaker 1: the challenge. Let's go to Andrea, who's in Berkeley. Hello Andrea, welcome.
- 18:31Speaker 3: Hello Ben, how are you?
- 18:33Speaker 1: If I was any better, I'd be a Jay, but
- 18:36Speaker 1: not a Blue Jay because they're about to lose one
- 18:39Speaker 1: of their touchstone players.
- 18:42Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, it's twelfth super Bowl ends and baseball
- 18:46Speaker 3: season begins, and well, yeah, speaking of football, Aaron Rogers,
- 18:53Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers, Yes, yes, there you go. You know he's
- 19:00Speaker 3: Sagittarius September I'm sorry, December second, nineteen eighty three, and
- 19:06Speaker 3: he's having his midlife crisis, Ben, and I can't underscore
- 19:09Speaker 3: that enough because he is this restless spirit, this Sagittarius
- 19:15Speaker 3: that loves action. And when you have your midlife crisis,
- 19:19Speaker 3: and for your listeners, between the ages of forty forty three,
- 19:24Speaker 3: you definitely want to have changes and you get more restless.
- 19:28Speaker 3: And Aaron Rodgers is already restless, and he's questioning how
- 19:32Speaker 3: to revitalize and renew his life path and lo and
- 19:37Speaker 3: behold Rams. You know you were right on. You said
- 19:41Speaker 3: he's not going to retire when the Jets didn't want
- 19:43Speaker 3: him anymore. Remember that?
- 19:45Speaker 1: Yeah, no, why would you retire?
- 19:46Speaker 4: Come on?
- 19:47Speaker 1: You know how much fun is it to play football?
- 19:49Speaker 1: Aren't you ever retire? Come on?
- 19:51Speaker 3: I know I'm sagittarius. Are you kidding?
- 19:53Speaker 4: You know?
- 19:53Speaker 3: Every day is like an adventure. And he's free spirited.
- 19:57Speaker 3: He loves to travel. Know, he's athletic and idealistic and
- 20:03Speaker 3: very what's the word kind of visionary and open minded.
- 20:07Speaker 3: So he really likes, you know, being of football player
- 20:12Speaker 3: tooots him fine, and the travel and the freedom and I.
- 20:16Speaker 1: Think the look more. And you're in the Bay Area,
- 20:18Speaker 1: so you obviously know this bohemian tendencies, right, or or

- 26:01Speaker 1: so I did not did not out very well for

- 26:07Speaker 1: At least it was over like at halftime, like there
- 26:09Speaker 1: was no I mean, it was done. That was it.
- 26:11Speaker 1: There was no competition at all. The game was done.
- 26:15Speaker 5: That game was all over. The first sentiment to that game,
- 26:18Speaker 5: yeah by Mahomes is reaction and all that. I mean
- 26:21Speaker 5: he was he went to lost mahomes. The rest of
- 26:23Speaker 5: the teams did too, So yeah, that was bad.
- 26:25Speaker 1: That was yeah, that was all right. Well, try to
- 26:28Speaker 1: maybe bring a jacket. You know, I'm not your mom,
- 26:30Speaker 1: but you might want to bring a jacket out there,
- 26:32Speaker 1: because I go, right there, you go. The great Danny DeVito,
- 26:38Speaker 1: fan of this show. Send that out, coop to. Danny
- 26:42Speaker 1: DeVito is a supporter of the Ben Maler Show. Right
- 26:44Speaker 1: that's a big name, Ben big name. It is currently
- 26:48Speaker 1: see here. It is thirteen degrees in Boston right now,
- 26:52Speaker 1: but the temperature it feels like it's zero degrees because
- 26:58Speaker 1: of the wind and all that. And it's supposed to
- 27:00Speaker 1: get down to minus two in a few hours. Allegedly
- 27:07Speaker 1: it's gonna feel like minus too in a couple hours.
- 27:10Speaker 1: It is the Ben Malach Show, The Two Faced Rattlesnake.
- 27:15Speaker 1: Pay that off right now. So this is a story
- 27:17Speaker 1: from Major League Baseball. I present to you the Commissioner
- 27:22Speaker 1: of Major League Baseball, Clown Manford. Rob Clownmanford. Now, the
- 27:27Speaker 1: commissioner did some interviews recently, and he said that the
- 27:33Speaker 1: talk about talking about both sides of mouth. He said
- 27:35Speaker 1: that the Dodgers are doing what the system allows, and
- 27:39Speaker 1: spending is great for the game. Rob Manford said, all right, well,
- 27:44Speaker 1: he's on board for the Dodgers. Well. He also said
- 27:48Speaker 1: that the economic disparity between teams like the Dodgers and
- 27:52Speaker 1: cheap ass teams like the Tampa Bay Arrays and the
- 27:56Speaker 1: Sacramento Athletics, that teams like that, that is the very
- 28:00Speaker 1: top of his list of concerns. So he's, oh, yeah,
- 28:04Speaker 1: the Dodgers with the spending money's great for the game. Oh,
- 28:06Speaker 1: by the way, this is my number one concern. What
- 28:09Speaker 1: a two faced rattlesnake Rob Manford is.
- 28:12Speaker 4: Now.
- 28:13Speaker 1: I also saw on that point of conversation that Scott
- 28:17Speaker 1: boris the superagent. He went on a rant talking about
- 28:22Speaker 1: the economic imbalance in baseball, but his argument is the
- 28:25Speaker 1: other direction. He complained about these spending patterns over the winner.
- 28:30Speaker 1: And there are five teams, five teams in baseball with
- 28:35Speaker 1: payrolls below one hundred million dollars as spring training is
- 28:40Speaker 1: underway in Florida and Arizona. According to the current luxury
- 28:44Speaker 1: tax calculations, five of the thirty members of the Cartel
- 28:48Speaker 1: Baseball are not even spending one hundred million dollars. Now,
- 28:51Speaker 1: Boris points out that last year there were six teams
- 28:56Speaker 1: spending below one hundred million dollars, and the money they
- 28:59Speaker 1: get from the general fund is above that, So they
- 29:02Speaker 1: get more money from television and merch sales. Then they're
- 29:07Speaker 1: spending on player payroll that does not include all the
- 29:10Speaker 1: other revenue streams that the teams have, and so boris
- 29:14Speaker 1: complaining about that. Of course, nobody wants to hear Boris complain.
- 29:17Speaker 1: But what a what a weasel that Rob Manford is. Oh,
- 29:20Speaker 1: it's go back to the phones and we'll say lo
- 29:22Speaker 1: to Maynard, who's in Tampa. Hello, Maynard, welcome?
- 29:27Speaker 4: What's up on man?
- 29:28Speaker 2: How you be?
- 29:29Speaker 1: If I was any better, I'd be a Ray, but
- 29:32Speaker 1: not a Tampa Bay Ray because you know they don't
- 29:34Speaker 1: spend it.
- 29:34Speaker 4: Yeah, no, no, no, no, I'm from Detroit.
- 29:37Speaker 1: Okay, I'd be a Tiger, but not a Detroit Tiger
- 29:39Speaker 1: because they are. Oh, I'd be a Wing, but not
- 29:43Speaker 1: a red Wing because they haven't been good in like
- 29:45Speaker 1: twenty years.
- 29:46Speaker 4: Yeah, I know we've been down on a downfall ball.
- 29:49Speaker 4: How come y'all only give no coverage to the tournament
- 29:54Speaker 4: right now?
- 29:56Speaker 1: You want to you want to sounds like you're angry.
- 29:58Speaker 1: Are you angry?
- 30:00Speaker 4: Well, I'm kind of you know, like trying to figure
- 30:03Speaker 4: out like y'all sports you know.
- 30:06Speaker 1: Yeah, we are. We are absolutely you don't talk.
- 30:09Speaker 4: No one thing about hockey.
- 30:11Speaker 1: No, we don't because it's called the broadcasting, not narrow casting.
- 30:16Speaker 4: Is that because you all ain't got no rights to
- 30:18Speaker 4: the hockey thing that you gotta.
- 30:20Speaker 1: You know, No, No, I don't care about that. No,
- 30:22Speaker 1: probably talk about it tomorrow because or not tomorrow. Well, yeah, tomorrow,
- 30:26Speaker 1: today's Wednesday, so tomorrow will be Thursday.
- 30:28Speaker 4: Game. The other day when we kicked them out, you
- 30:30Speaker 4: know what that was.
- 30:31Speaker 1: Because it was because it was on Saturday. So you
- 30:33Speaker 1: see what happened was made or that was on Saturday,
- 30:36Speaker 1: and the show is on Monday morning, so it's kind
- 30:39Speaker 1: of old news by then.
- 30:40Speaker 4: See the problem it's not old knows when that's coming
- 30:43Speaker 4: in up into you guys.
- 30:46Speaker 1: You know, but it's like two days you know we did,
- 30:47Speaker 1: it's we do. Whatever's happening right there in the moment.
- 30:50Speaker 1: We try to avoid talking unless.
- 30:51Speaker 4: It's name me. One time that I've heard heard you
- 30:54Speaker 4: talk about hockey, Well.
- 30:56Speaker 1: There's this guy Eddie And one time I did a
- 30:59Speaker 1: story of out of Zamboni and I don't know if you.
- 31:03Speaker 4: Yes real good American.
- 31:08Speaker 1: Let me tell you, sir, it was. It was his
- 31:10Speaker 1: name out shaw Fing. It was a great segment. Everyone loved.
- 31:15Speaker 1: Remember Lorraine of the Zamboni segment. How popular was that
- 31:17Speaker 1: segment about Zamboni? My god, we talked about the Zamboni family,
- 31:20Speaker 1: the different generations, the updated Zamboni. People loved it, Maynard.
- 31:25Speaker 1: They could not get enough. So rather than you complain,
- 31:28Speaker 1: Maynard about the lack of hockey coverage, why don't you
- 31:31Speaker 1: embrace the fact you can be the hockey guy. You
- 31:34Speaker 1: can enlighten the people on hockey. How about that? Maynard?
- 31:39Speaker 4: All right, what you want to make a lot me about?
- 31:42Speaker 1: Well, no, no, no, you you have all the answers, right,
- 31:44Speaker 1: you watch all these games and you're you're very happy
- 31:47Speaker 1: with the the four Nations tournament. Right, you think this
- 31:49Speaker 1: is great and you don't think the USA is going
- 31:51Speaker 1: to choke here in the final game on Thursday and
- 31:53Speaker 1: lose to Canada. Right, you think they're gonna win.
- 31:57Speaker 4: Uh. The problem with is losing a Cam mccarr coming
- 32:02Speaker 4: back for Canada. That's that's the issue there. US losing
- 32:08Speaker 4: other two defensemen and then having to call someone up.
- 32:12Speaker 4: Quinn Hughes Q was he was on the original roster,
- 32:17Speaker 4: but then he got hurt and then now he got called.
- 32:22Speaker 1: Time About time out, Maynard, I think it's better when
- 32:26Speaker 1: you just complain about the show not talking hockey than
- 32:29Speaker 1: when you talk hockey. I think it's more fun when
- 32:32Speaker 1: you say how much you hate the show rather than
- 32:34Speaker 1: you talk about hockey.
- 32:35Speaker 4: What's that you You asked me to break it down?
- 32:38Speaker 1: I did, but you know, you know, I just didn't.
- 32:40Speaker 1: I don't know. I didn't float. To me, he didn't float.
- 32:42Speaker 1: I don't know if it flew. I didn't really float.
- 32:45Speaker 1: It was a little choppy. Nothing against you, little chopping.
- 32:49Speaker 4: A breakdown of the thing.
- 32:50Speaker 1: I know.
- 32:52Speaker 4: Okay, okay, So so who do you think just you
- 32:56Speaker 4: thinking about not knowing anything about hockey?
- 32:59Speaker 1: Gonna cover hockey? Back when Wayne Gretzky played, I covered
- 33:02Speaker 1: hockey the La Kings Wayne Gretzky. That was on the
- 33:04Speaker 1: beat back in the day. That was a long time ago.
- 33:06Speaker 1: I spent thirty years. What's that I'm thinking? I'm rapping.
- 33:11Speaker 1: I'm wrapping myself in the flag, sir, Come on, USA, USA, USA,
- 33:16Speaker 1: usa us. Hey, I gotta thank you, thank you, Maynard.
- 33:20Speaker 1: I gotta go thank It's a Maynard upset hockey guy upset.
- 33:26Speaker 1: And my my experience with upset hockey guy is they're
- 33:29Speaker 1: upset that I don't talk about hockey. When I do
- 33:33Speaker 1: talk about hockey, they're upset that I am talking about
- 33:35Speaker 1: hockey because I'm not mister Hockey. So then they either way,
- 33:39Speaker 1: that's a no win situation because if I better bet
- 33:42Speaker 1: no I started. You know again, I was thinking about
- 33:44Speaker 1: maybe Thursday night and a Friday talking about hockey. I'll
- 33:46Speaker 1: be watching the game there and all that. But again
- 33:49Speaker 1: I go back to the point, like when you talk
- 33:51Speaker 1: hockey and you're not like a hard old hockey guy,
- 33:53Speaker 1: like an original six fan, people get very upset. They
- 33:57Speaker 1: get very upset about that. Ton out for the insta trivia. Here,

- 36:58Speaker 1: Steve the Misplaced and Diagan Dick Bukis when the all
- 37:02Speaker 1: time great names from Timothy in Northern Kentucky. Who else
- 37:06Speaker 1: do we have? Guidomerkins from Sam Houston State, mister irrigation's
- 37:12Speaker 1: alum alumni. All right, Laray, No, do you have an
- 37:15Speaker 1: answer again? Blank? The only player, only player to lead
- 37:19Speaker 1: the league in receptions three times more than any other
- 37:22Speaker 1: wide receiver in NFL history, Michael Irvin. Ben, Wow, No,
- 37:26Speaker 1: that is incorrect. The correct answer from the New England
- 37:30Speaker 1: Patriots and others. Let's play with the Broncos. Wes Welker,
- 37:34Speaker 1: Wes Welker. The it's Mallard. How about that?
- 37:44Speaker 2: To the third degree, This is one big Ben gets grilled.
- 37:50Speaker 1: Then over to the Koopal loop for the reading of
- 37:54Speaker 1: the questions.
- 37:55Speaker 6: It was reported on Monday that Sean McVay quote really
- 37:58Speaker 6: likes backup quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo and that the Rams could
- 38:01Speaker 6: re sign him as a bridge quarterback for next season. Ben,
- 38:06Speaker 6: what is the Rams ceiling with Jimmy g at the helm?
- 38:09Speaker 1: Well, the thing about Jimmy G's it's kind of like
- 38:12Speaker 1: Sam Darnell, Like, you can win regular season games, but
- 38:15Speaker 1: if you ultimately get to a point in the playoffs
- 38:17Speaker 1: where your quarterback has to step up and make plays.
- 38:19Speaker 1: Does anyone think Jimmy Garoppolo is gonna be that guy.
- 38:21Speaker 1: I don't. So we saw that with the forty nine ers.
- 38:25Speaker 1: So yeah, you could win ten games with a guy
- 38:26Speaker 1: like Jimmy Garoppolo, but in the playoffs it all falls apart.
- 38:30Speaker 1: Maybe mcveig should just go to lunch with Garoppolo rather
- 38:32Speaker 1: than have him as the quarterback next.
- 38:34Speaker 6: Miami quarterback Kim Ward is the betting favorite to be
- 38:37Speaker 6: the first overall pick in the draft, and he let
- 38:39Speaker 6: teams know this week that if they pass on him,
- 38:41Speaker 6: they quote got to play me for the rest of
- 38:44Speaker 6: my career and I'll remember that.
- 38:45Speaker 1: Oh I'm scared, right, but I'm scared. I'm scared. Ben.
- 38:50Speaker 1: Do you think the do you think Ward to the
- 38:52Speaker 1: Titans is a lock? No, don't. I look at these
- 38:55Speaker 1: quarterbacks and I don't see hey, number one overall pick,
- 39:00Speaker 1: Shooter Sanders, doesn't look like the number one guy cam Ward. Now,
- 39:04Speaker 1: one of them will likely be drafted number one because
- 39:06Speaker 1: they you know, that's what they do. They need a
- 39:08Speaker 1: quarterback these teams, and Tennessee needs a quarterback. But no,
- 39:11Speaker 1: I'm not overwhelmed by cam Ward. I didn't see him
- 39:14Speaker 1: play too much at Miami. But when I did, I
- 39:16Speaker 1: was like, this guy's guaranteed to be great in the NFL.
- 39:19Speaker 1: I didn't get that vibe. All right. Next, if the.
- 39:21Speaker 6: Bengals do decide to tag T Higgins, who do you
- 39:24Speaker 6: think becomes the top free agent target this offseason?
- 39:27Speaker 1: Well, A, you're talking about wide receivers or what? Do
- 39:29Speaker 1: you just? In general? I guess, uh, you know, position
- 39:32Speaker 1: plays well, the player movement thing, it's gonna be. It's
- 39:35Speaker 1: not it's not a free agent, but it's gonna be
- 39:37Speaker 1: Miles Garrett of the Cleveland Browns and you're you're Denver Broncos.
- 39:42Speaker 1: Maybe they get it on that, but Miles Garrett's the guy,
- 39:44Speaker 1: and he's a Hall of Fame level defensive player. So
- 39:47Speaker 1: and Cooper Cup, how'd we know he passes? I wanted
- 39:51Speaker 1: the buzzer, weed Man. I wanted the buzzer
