0:00
Speaker 1: Omaha, omaha. It's our number four. We call an audible
0:05
Speaker 1: and we talk about the story involving a Cowboy player
0:08
Speaker 1: this week when you first saw the Cowboys twenty twenty
0:12
Speaker 1: five Super Bowl prediction from Travon Diggs defensive back, what
0:16
Speaker 1: did you think? Also Aaron Donald, he believes the sky's
0:20
Speaker 1: limit for the twenty twenty five ram players. How much
0:23
Speaker 1: weight does that have? And how humiliated wro to Baseball?
0:27
Speaker 1: How humiliating is it for the Red Sox as they
0:30
Speaker 1: decided to take Christian Campbell off the big league roster.
0:35
Speaker 1: He was demoted the miners. We'll talk about that as well.
0:37
Speaker 1: It's coming your way right now. Have a wonderful weekend.
0:40
Speaker 1: Remember fifth hour podcast, Benny boot Camp. Today. We'll have
0:43
Speaker 1: new episodes all weekend, including a look back at my
0:46
Speaker 1: hanging out with Marlin's man. Here it is our number four.
0:51
Speaker 1: Can you digs it well? Come in the beginning of
0:58
Speaker 1: another hour of the Ben Mallor Show. I know it's shocking,
1:04
Speaker 1: one after another after another after another. We are in
1:09
Speaker 1: the air everywhere, hot on the case. As we toss
1:15
Speaker 1: in a sprinkle, a little sprinkle, there's a little sprinkle
1:19
Speaker 1: of fun coast to Coast border, the border and beyond
1:23
Speaker 1: on the vast and scrumptuously powerful microphones of FSR ammundating
1:30
Speaker 1: live from the delights the cooking up of gastronomically great
1:36
Speaker 1: sports opinion delights all night into the morning from the
1:40
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio studios, as approved by the real Martin
1:44
Speaker 1: who has worked for years at the airport there in Denver.
1:48
Speaker 1: In this portion of the Ben Malor Show made possible
1:51
Speaker 1: in part by our friends at ti Iraq. For over
1:53
Speaker 1: forty years, ty Iraq has been helping customers find the
1:56
Speaker 1: right tires for how, what and where they drive fast
2:00
Speaker 1: and freeback by free road hazard protection with convenient installation
2:05
Speaker 1: options like mobile tire installation, tire rack dot com. The
2:10
Speaker 1: way tire buying sure be so. Our lead this hour
2:16
Speaker 1: is from football. Just a couple of notes before we
2:18
Speaker 1: get into it. We had a baseball donnybrook a. We'll
2:24
Speaker 1: have a follow up to the follow up as a
2:27
Speaker 1: manager shoved another manager in a late night West Coast
2:31
Speaker 1: baseball game last night. We will get to that later on.
2:34
Speaker 1: There's an update from the previous update that we had
2:36
Speaker 1: earlier in the overnight, and also the long National nightmare
2:40
Speaker 1: is over. It is no longer all quiet on the
2:43
Speaker 1: Western front. After was it seven or eight days of
2:48
Speaker 1: the phone system being broken a glitch? Finally it is back.
2:55
Speaker 1: It is back. Hell Alujah, hell olujah. But I lead.
2:59
Speaker 1: This hour is from the NFL. We are contractually obligated
3:02
Speaker 1: to go no more than a couple of minutes without
3:04
Speaker 1: mentioning Jerry's world. And it's always good, always good to
3:09
Speaker 1: fill up the content machine. If you heard the latest
3:12
Speaker 1: on this, maybe not Dallas Cowboys, the defensive back Travon Diggs.
3:17
Speaker 1: You might not remember him because he was hurt last year.
3:19
Speaker 1: But Trevon Diggs, he took the social media recently and
3:22
Speaker 1: made a bold decree. The off injured, occasional big play
3:28
Speaker 1: defensive back made it clear, this will be our year.
3:34
Speaker 1: He boldly stated like a rooster with his chest out,
3:37
Speaker 1: indicating and implying that he believes that Dallas Cowboys are
3:43
Speaker 1: going to win the Lombardi Trophy. This se is something
3:48
Speaker 1: that hasn't happened in a bit of time. You know,
3:53
Speaker 1: you got to scrub a lot of data to go
3:55
Speaker 1: back in time the last time the Cowboys won. So
3:57
Speaker 1: let us discuss the question when you first saw this
4:02
Speaker 1: latest Cowboy twenty twenty five Super Bowl prediction from Travon Diggs.
4:08
Speaker 1: What did you think? So, I've got mister Universe, Tony Robbins,
4:14
Speaker 1: and Sandwich Board, and we will combine all of these
4:18
Speaker 1: things together, and we are gonna make the Baba gnooche.
4:23
Speaker 1: The Baba ganoosh is what we're gonna make, all right,
4:25
Speaker 1: So to lead off here, this is a standard story. Now,
4:31
Speaker 1: it's possible that it's just I've been doing this job
4:35
Speaker 1: for so long. I know when we get to the
4:38
Speaker 1: month of June, a lot of my colleagues, a lot
4:40
Speaker 1: of my contemporaries, they love to complain and bitch and
4:44
Speaker 1: moan about June Sports Radio, I don't.
4:48
Speaker 2: I like.
4:49
Speaker 1: The reason I like it is because I know there's
4:51
Speaker 1: certain stories I'm gonna get every year. I'm gonna get
4:55
Speaker 1: some kind of bad blood in baseball, we got that.
4:58
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get Dallas Cowboy player saying we're gonna win
5:02
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl every year. Right, every year, I'm gonna
5:05
Speaker 1: get a bunch of guys barking about how great their
5:07
Speaker 1: quarterback is and they have no weaknesses, and it's gonna
5:10
Speaker 1: be a smooth sailing, and it's all a bunch of
5:13
Speaker 1: spin spin, Spin, Spin Spin. So this is the standard
5:17
Speaker 1: blueprint for Jerry's marketing machine. Every single year. Every year
5:23
Speaker 1: the Cowboys roll in to this time of the year.
5:26
Speaker 1: They're wearing their stets and hats, they get their shiny
5:29
Speaker 1: boots on, big old belt buckle, delusional dreams of glory
5:36
Speaker 1: because everything's bigger in Texas, and much like I am
5:40
Speaker 1: obligated to mention the Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys, it's like
5:46
Speaker 1: they play spin the bottle. It's like, all right, this year,
5:50
Speaker 1: you give the Super Bowl guarantee, and then the next
5:54
Speaker 1: year we'll spin the bottle again, and somebody else will
5:57
Speaker 1: have to say it beyond beyond our wildest dreams and
5:59
Speaker 1: all that. I went back and I looked at my notes,
6:02
Speaker 1: and I didn't go back all that far because they
6:04
Speaker 1: didn't have to. So in twenty twenty three, I remember
6:10
Speaker 1: doing a monologue about the Cowboys. Somebody on the Cowboys saying, hey,
6:13
Speaker 1: they're going to win the Super Bowl. So I went
6:15
Speaker 1: back to check my notes. It was Trevon Diggs. And
6:18
Speaker 1: then I remember last year doing a monologue going on
6:23
Speaker 1: and on about how the Cowboys are going to win
6:25
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. Somebody said that was Dak Prescott in
6:29
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, now here we are again. Digs is
6:31
Speaker 1: back and better than ever. All right, back and better
6:35
Speaker 1: than ever. And so it's like one year's hey, yeah
6:39
Speaker 1: yeah you got that, Dag, Yeah, yeah you got how
6:41
Speaker 1: about how about you sure yeah you got it? Digs?
6:43
Speaker 1: All right, no problem. Those are the Cowboys have players
6:46
Speaker 1: some we've heard of, Ceedee Lamb, Dak Prescott who's a
6:49
Speaker 1: choke artist, and Digs, and that's the same thing. We're
6:53
Speaker 1: going all the way, rah rah rah, go team. I
6:57
Speaker 1: know that you're supposed to say that, but the idea
7:00
Speaker 1: of the Cowboys are anywhere close to winning a Super
7:03
Speaker 1: Bowl when you look at who they hired as their coach.
7:07
Speaker 1: It's like me saying, I'm going to go out this
7:09
Speaker 1: year and I'm going to win the Mister Universe contest
7:11
Speaker 1: for bodybuilding. That is what I am going to do.
7:15
Speaker 1: A middle aged overnight gas bag is going to win
7:19
Speaker 1: a Mister Universe contest, like there's no chance. Like this
7:22
Speaker 1: is the same team that has been choking harder than
7:27
Speaker 1: a random Texan eating those Texas toasts at some tourist
7:32
Speaker 1: location since nineteen ninety five. Nineteen ninety five, that is
7:38
Speaker 1: over a generation. We are getting close to a generation
7:41
Speaker 1: and a half generations, Like twenty years, we're thirty years.
7:45
Speaker 1: Bill Clinton was spending a lot of quality time with
7:49
Speaker 1: Monica Lewinsky's intern in nineteen ninety five, if you know
7:53
Speaker 1: what I mean. She was really making things good in
7:55
Speaker 1: the White House, and he was the president. People were
7:59
Speaker 1: using AOL dial up Internet, AOL dial up internet. If
8:04
Speaker 1: I remember, Google did not exist in nineteen ninety five.
8:08
Speaker 1: Forget chat GPT. That is when the Cowboys last won
8:12
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. Spoiler alert, spoiler alert. Dallas is going
8:15
Speaker 1: to do what they always do. I've already seen the
8:19
Speaker 1: advanced copy of the twenty twenty five script, which is
8:21
Speaker 1: written by the writers for Roger Goodell and the NFL.
8:26
Speaker 1: They're gonna what they always do. I get off to
8:28
Speaker 1: a hot start, they'll win a couple of games. We're
8:30
Speaker 1: all right, the Cowboys are here, and everyone will get
8:33
Speaker 1: their hopes worked up and they're into a ladder and
8:36
Speaker 1: they'll be all excited, and then they'll crank on the
8:40
Speaker 1: Savage Garden tune, crash and burn. They'll do it in
8:44
Speaker 1: the regular season. If they're somehow he will stumble in
8:46
Speaker 1: the playoffs. It's a lot harder now because you not
8:49
Speaker 1: only have the Eagles, but the Washington football team appears
8:52
Speaker 1: to be pretty good. So bad news. Now, it's not
8:55
Speaker 1: all bad news because the Cowboys will yet again win
8:59
Speaker 1: the award as the most over hyped team in America.
9:06
Speaker 1: That's right, same old Cowboys, big stars, big talk, big disappointment,
9:12
Speaker 1: Rinse wash, repeat and on to the next Now, furthermore,
9:17
Speaker 1: speaking of NFL nonsense, we go to La La Land,
9:22
Speaker 1: where former defensive star and one of the great all
9:25
Speaker 1: time defensive tackles in pro football history, Aaron Donald flapping
9:30
Speaker 1: his gums as he recently said that he expects a
9:35
Speaker 1: better year from the Rams. Now, remember, the only team
9:38
Speaker 1: that had a legitimate chance to beat the Philadelphia Eagles
9:41
Speaker 1: was the Rams. That's it right. The Rams gave the
9:45
Speaker 1: Eagles their toughest game and it wasn't even close. It
9:49
Speaker 1: wasn't even close. It was a cakewalk for Philadelphia. The
9:51
Speaker 1: only team that challenged Philadelphia was the Rams, and they
9:55
Speaker 1: did it in the Eagles stadium. So he said that
9:59
Speaker 1: the teams, all offense is going to be stacked, Aaron Donald.
10:01
Speaker 1: He believes that the defense with all those young cats
10:05
Speaker 1: on defense, that they got the necessary experience with each other,
10:09
Speaker 1: and so they're gonna have a better year. So Aaron
10:11
Speaker 1: Donald thinks the quote, Sky's the limit, close quote for
10:14
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty five Rams. How much weight does this happen?
10:20
Speaker 1: How much weight? So it's not a heavyweight, it's not
10:23
Speaker 1: a middleweight. It's a lightweight, is what this? Aaron Donald
10:28
Speaker 1: love the guy as a player, obviously, you know I'm
10:29
Speaker 1: a little biased. If you listen to the show, you
10:31
Speaker 1: know I like the Rams because I believe you can
10:33
Speaker 1: ram it all day and you can ram it all night.
10:35
Speaker 1: And Aaron Donald was a human wrecking ball as a player.
10:40
Speaker 1: That was then he don't want to play anymore. He made
10:43
Speaker 1: his money and he's done, and that's it. And we
10:47
Speaker 1: live in the now. We do the show right now,
10:49
Speaker 1: and right now, Aaron Donald is a team cheerleader. He's
10:55
Speaker 1: here go team go dfence right pumping up the Rams
11:02
Speaker 1: like he's a cheap ripoff version of Tony Robbins at
11:05
Speaker 1: a Tony Robbins seminar, the old motivational speaker. Sky's the limit,
11:10
Speaker 1: Sky's the limit, ready to go, like all the Rams
11:13
Speaker 1: need seamavay. If he puts that up sky's the limit,
11:16
Speaker 1: motivational poster, locker room, they'll be hoisting up another Lombardi.
11:21
Speaker 1: Of course, the obvious things like what's he gonna say?
11:24
Speaker 1: The rams are gonna stink. It's gonna be worse than
11:26
Speaker 1: the traffic on the four zero five at rush hour
11:29
Speaker 1: trying to get over the hill there to the valley.
11:31
Speaker 1: Good luck, Like, what is he gonna know? I mean,
11:34
Speaker 1: he's not gonna say. He's on the payroll. And Aaron
11:37
Speaker 1: Donald his job is goodwill ambassador, good will ambassador. He's
11:43
Speaker 1: a hype man. Now he's not Noradamas. That's me. I
11:48
Speaker 1: am a distant relative of Nostradamus and friend of Nostradina's
11:52
Speaker 1: all right, last thing by request, large and in charge
11:56
Speaker 1: by request. A fascinating story of who goofed? I've got
12:01
Speaker 1: to know from the world of baseball. So the Red
12:03
Speaker 1: Sox made some waves. They did. We learned that just
12:09
Speaker 1: months after signing what they thought was their golden boy,
12:15
Speaker 1: Christian Campbell, to an eight year, sixty million dollar extension,
12:20
Speaker 1: buying out arbitration and given him financial stability, he essentially
12:28
Speaker 1: won the lottery. They gave him a shoulder massage. So
12:32
Speaker 1: Kristen Campbell an infielder who was the minor league player
12:34
Speaker 1: of the year I believe for the Red Sox signed
12:37
Speaker 1: an eight year, sixty million dollar extension before he'd even
12:40
Speaker 1: had a full week in the big leagues. Now, mind you,
12:45
Speaker 1: the Red Sox have now demoted this guy. They sent
12:49
Speaker 1: him he's at he's twenty two or something like that.
12:52
Speaker 1: He's a second baseman and they sent him to the
12:57
Speaker 1: team in Worcester. So the Triple A affiliate of the
13:00
Speaker 1: Red Sox. So the question how humiliating is the Red
13:06
Speaker 1: Sox move to and the decision to take Christian Campbell,
13:11
Speaker 1: who they gave an eight year contract to off the
13:15
Speaker 1: big league roster. So on the Malord scale of humiliation
13:21
Speaker 1: one to ten, with ten being the worst of the worst.
13:26
Speaker 1: My answer on the Mallard scale of humiliation for the
13:29
Speaker 1: Red Sox eight point zero, which happens to coincide with
13:34
Speaker 1: the amount of years he got eight point zero. Now,
13:37
Speaker 1: I don't really know much about Craig Breslo. I guess
13:40
Speaker 1: he used to play back in the day and he's
13:41
Speaker 1: a full out, full on nerd. Now the gam of
13:44
Speaker 1: the Red Sox. But if I own the Red Sox
13:49
Speaker 1: and this is the move that you made if I
13:52
Speaker 1: own the team. Craig Breslow would be ordered to spend
13:56
Speaker 1: eight hours a day on game day stand in front
14:00
Speaker 1: of Finway wearing sandwich board and a sign that stated
14:04
Speaker 1: I stole sixty million dollars of John Henry's money and
14:08
Speaker 1: gave it to Christian Campbell, who, by the way, you
14:11
Speaker 1: can watch playing in Worcester, and this is my punishment.
14:15
Speaker 1: In April. In April, the Red Sox they were drinking
14:19
Speaker 1: the kool aid. It was spiked full on optimism, and
14:24
Speaker 1: I remember, I remember the time. We didn't do a
14:26
Speaker 1: monologue on it, but I was like, what do you
14:29
Speaker 1: why would you do that? I think it was like
14:32
Speaker 1: six days, if I remember, I don't have the date
14:34
Speaker 1: in front me, other like six or seven days. It
14:36
Speaker 1: wasn't even a full week of big league time. And
14:40
Speaker 1: they just gave them sixty million and here's the bag.
14:45
Speaker 1: That's it. And as one of our listeners in Boston said,
14:48
Speaker 1: they the Red Sox attempted to sign a couple of
14:53
Speaker 1: their other young players, but they didn't. They didn't want
14:56
Speaker 1: the money they wanted to They didn't want to take
14:58
Speaker 1: the money. They wanted to be on themselves and Christian
15:02
Speaker 1: Campbell didn't want to bet on himself, which makes me
15:05
Speaker 1: think did he know that he was going to suck
15:07
Speaker 1: like he took. I don't blame him for taking the money,
15:10
Speaker 1: But since the start of May, the player that the Red
15:14
Speaker 1: Sox gave an eight year contract too, has been the
15:19
Speaker 1: kind of a player that our friend Danny DeVito should
15:21
Speaker 1: pick up and toss away. He's been trash. He's betting
15:25
Speaker 1: one fifty nine, that is forty one points below the
15:28
Speaker 1: Mendoza line, and since May the start of May's got
15:33
Speaker 1: four more extra base hits than I have forty strikeouts,
15:38
Speaker 1: and it looks like he needs to use chat GPT
15:42
Speaker 1: to find out where the strike zone is at this point.
15:45
Speaker 1: It's that bad. And oh, by the way, I am
15:49
Speaker 1: told he is the worst defensive second baseman in baseball.
15:54
Speaker 1: He has a league worst minus fourteen defensive run saved,
15:58
Speaker 1: which is a nerd stat playing second base. But other
16:02
Speaker 1: than that, it was a wise investment. It was now Campbell.
16:07
Speaker 1: I'm not saying he's a total bus There have been
16:09
Speaker 1: players that have gotten to the big leagues, got sent
16:13
Speaker 1: back down and then gone on and have solid careers.
16:15
Speaker 1: But I'm worried about doing the show right now and
16:18
Speaker 1: at this moment, in this moment in time where you're
16:21
Speaker 1: here and I'm here, the scales are leaning heavily into
16:27
Speaker 1: a little village called Busville, and the talent is there. Obviously,
16:33
Speaker 1: the talent is. There's a speed guy and a slap guy,
16:37
Speaker 1: a slap hitting kind of guy and with a little power,
16:41
Speaker 1: but he hasn't shown it since May. We're now near
16:46
Speaker 1: the end of June, so good luck, good luck. It
16:51
Speaker 1: is the Ben Maller Show. Now that's gonna be one
16:53
Speaker 1: of the big stories of the weekend. Here on Friday night,
16:56
Speaker 1: here the Red Sox go to San Francisco and the
16:58
Speaker 1: Giant Sigantes with Raphael Devers. They just unloaded him on Sunday,
17:05
Speaker 1: the Red Sox, and now he will you know, he's
17:07
Speaker 1: licking his chops here. You can get a motivate. He
17:09
Speaker 1: might actually hustle. Devers might actually run hard. He's so
17:13
Speaker 1: excited to see the Red Sox back and stick it
17:15
Speaker 1: to them. So that'll be one of the big stories
17:17
Speaker 1: in baseball. One of the other stories in baseball have
17:19
Speaker 1: a Mallor show follow up to the follow up. That's right,
17:24
Speaker 1: a follow up to the follow up, as there was
17:29
Speaker 1: a manager on manager crime that took place. We'll get
17:33
Speaker 1: to that also. The Koop Scoop on entertainment will go
17:37
Speaker 1: there as well. We'll get to all of that, and
17:41
Speaker 1: we will do it next.

Speaker 1: He is a proud Chicagoan, a white Sox apologist, and
19:22
Speaker 1: all of his teams suck. Every one of them stink
19:24
Speaker 1: right now. But he's still somewhat like sports coops here
19:27
Speaker 1: also a Bronco fan. Your comments can and we'll be
19:30
Speaker 1: used against you in the court of sports radio. And
19:33
Speaker 1: now back to it. We do go back to it.
19:36
Speaker 1: We will have the Coop Scoop on entertainment that'll be
19:40
Speaker 1: coming up in a little bit. We look forward to that.
19:44
Speaker 1: Terry in England writes, and he says today in he
19:48
Speaker 1: lives in near Manchester, England, and Terry's a big p one.
19:53
Speaker 1: He's the number one forty nin er fan in in England.
19:58
Speaker 1: As far as I'm concerned, I don't on the other
20:00
Speaker 1: forty nine er fans in England anyway, Terry says, seventeen
20:03
Speaker 1: hours of daylight in Manchester, England today it's the summer solstice.
20:08
Speaker 1: We learn from Andrea. So if you're a fan of daylight,
20:11
Speaker 1: this is a good day. This is a really really
20:16
Speaker 1: good day. Ferg Dog writes and says, I agree with
20:18
Speaker 1: everything you said in that Mallard model except for one thing.
20:21
Speaker 1: If you entered a bodybuilding competition, you'd be the odds
20:25
Speaker 1: on favorite. You earned the nickname muscle Ben buff Pants
20:30
Speaker 1: for a reason. Well, thank you. I don't know that
20:33
Speaker 1: mister Irrigation would agree with that. Now, Seawan in the
20:39
Speaker 1: Valley of the Sun, Now, Shawn is he's from here?
20:42
Speaker 1: A serious Sean is his name on the show. And
20:46
Speaker 1: he is the king of being non secular man. He
20:50
Speaker 1: just is. And he's done it yet again. He's sent
20:53
Speaker 1: a photo. He's like, I guess from right now. He's
20:57
Speaker 1: at the London Bridge. Now the London Bridge is falling down,
21:01
Speaker 1: falling down, falling down. The London Bridge is in Arizona.
21:05
Speaker 1: They moved it to a town in Arizona, so you
21:08
Speaker 1: can get that very exciting. Yeah. No, so I've a
21:12
Speaker 1: follow up to the follow up. I would like to
21:15
Speaker 1: play a follow up to the follow up. Now, what
21:17
Speaker 1: is the follow up to the follow up? Last night
21:20
Speaker 1: Dodgers and Padres, it was all like don't get gong
21:25
Speaker 1: as they were thrown at each other old school baseball,
21:28
Speaker 1: despite both teams being run by nerds. They decided to
21:31
Speaker 1: have a throwback night at the Ravine in La and
21:35
Speaker 1: Fernando Tatis got popped there with a pitch at his
21:38
Speaker 1: hand and it was a bit of a mess, and
21:43
Speaker 1: that led to a benches clearing brew haha. The Dodgers
21:47
Speaker 1: brought in a pitcher who had not I don't think
21:52
Speaker 1: it was his first big League appearance, a guy by
21:56
Speaker 1: the name of Little and he drilled Fernando Totis in
22:00
Speaker 1: the right wrist and that led to a back and forth.
22:05
Speaker 1: Do we have the audio ready to go? Here's Mookie Bets.
22:08
Speaker 1: Mookie Bets there explaining he was asked about the situation.
22:13
Speaker 1: But well, you'll hear the audio. It's self explained to it.
22:15
Speaker 1: But here's the face of the Dodgers, former Red Sox
22:18
Speaker 1: and MVP with the in the you know, Dodger blue
22:21
Speaker 1: and all that. But here's Mookie Bets explaining the situation,
22:25
Speaker 1: and he's not really into it. Take a listen, there's
22:28
Speaker 1: some carryover the Tuesday just comes to like some of
22:30
Speaker 1: the HIPI pitches and what we saw between David and Shilter.
22:36
Speaker 1: I don't know. I ain't gonna do with that that.
22:39
Speaker 1: There's going to be zero controversy talk over here. So
22:42
Speaker 1: there yelling and talk about the hip hop pitches.
22:44
Speaker 2: Didn't go and end it.
22:45
Speaker 1: But you know, it's a good baseball game, and they
22:49
Speaker 1: came out on top. Okay, and that sound by right there,
22:53
Speaker 1: you might say, well, that's benign who cares? That is
22:56
Speaker 1: why major League Baseball is losing the conversation right there,
23:01
Speaker 1: Mookie Bets. That's an example. This is a star in baseball.
23:05
Speaker 1: You have a story that is compelling, you have players.
23:09
Speaker 1: Because Otani got drilled in the ninth inning, there was
23:13
Speaker 1: a confrontation. Dave Roberts shoved Mike Shilt, the Podre manager,
23:18
Speaker 1: after Tatise got hit, because Shilt came out demanding that,
23:21
Speaker 1: you know, yelling at the umpires, and then Roberts came
23:23
Speaker 1: out yelling at the Podre manager, and he shoved him
23:27
Speaker 1: and then did the old like Kevin Garnett fake tough
23:29
Speaker 1: guy thing where he did the moonwalk as Dodger players
23:32
Speaker 1: came out to get in front of him. So you've
23:34
Speaker 1: got Mookie bets, there's going to be zero controversy talk
23:38
Speaker 1: over here, baring, baring, and then you have Manny Machado. Now,
23:45
Speaker 1: Manny Mchatda kind of gets it. I don't like Manny Machatto.
23:48
Speaker 1: I find him annoying, but he gets it. Machado said
23:51
Speaker 1: that the Dodgers should pray. He gave a warning, a
23:55
Speaker 1: terse warning. He said the Dodgers should pray that the
23:59
Speaker 1: imageing on Fernando Tatis's hand came back negative and they
24:04
Speaker 1: were yelling that complaining the padres they were. They were
24:08
Speaker 1: bitching that Tatise had been hit three times in seven
24:13
Speaker 1: games this season, five times in his career, and uh
24:21
Speaker 1: said to Tis, clean it up. Is what he said.
24:24
Speaker 1: That's the quote, of course, the play Devil's Advocate. My
24:28
Speaker 1: my thought, No, I'm not gonna too deep. I know
24:30
Speaker 1: those people want to take take their calls and all that.
24:33
Speaker 1: But as far as Fernando Tatis is concerned, if you
24:36
Speaker 1: are the Dodgers like you gotta think he's probably back
24:39
Speaker 1: on the ringworm medication. If you know what I mean.
24:43
Speaker 1: Uh So, like every every time these guys in baseball coming,
24:47
Speaker 1: you shouldn't pitch inside. You shouldn't pitch inside if that
24:50
Speaker 1: is the only way to get a steroid cheat out,
24:53
Speaker 1: like Fernando Tatis. You pitch inside, that's the way to
24:56
Speaker 1: do it. And if you're gonna hit him, you're gonna
24:58
Speaker 1: hit him. And that's it. And you that's just the
25:00
Speaker 1: way it is. And these guys that complain about it
25:04
Speaker 1: and whine about it, it's like, listen, the guys are
25:06
Speaker 1: a steroid guy. He's probably cheating right now. Wants a cheat,
25:10
Speaker 1: always a cheat, and so you know who knows, he
25:13
Speaker 1: might might go be lathering in a bathtub of ringworm medication.
25:17
Speaker 1: So the way to get him out is to pitch
25:18
Speaker 1: inside on the hands. And if you pitch inside on
25:21
Speaker 1: the hands, you're gonna hit him every once in a while,
25:24
Speaker 1: that's how it works. And then the potteries came back
25:27
Speaker 1: and they drilled the face of baseball. Sho Heo Tani
25:32
Speaker 1: one of the few compelling crossover stars that people who
25:35
Speaker 1: normally in baseball you only care about the team that
25:38
Speaker 1: is your local team. You don't care about other teams.
25:40
Speaker 1: But that's an exception like that is an exception of
25:43
Speaker 1: the rule. All let's go to the phones. Let's say
25:45
Speaker 1: hello to spin cycle Regina. How about that. That's a
25:50
Speaker 1: blast in the past. Hello spin cycle Regina. She's in
25:53
Speaker 1: Colorado now. She lived in Minnesota for a long time.
25:55
Speaker 1: Hello spin Cycle Regina. There there, she is right there.
26:03
Speaker 1: She is the hostess with the most. She put together
26:06
Speaker 1: that great malard, meat and greet we did at the
26:08
Speaker 1: Mermaid and then it was so good she immediately moved
26:11
Speaker 1: out of Minnesota. That's how good it was. She moved
26:13
Speaker 1: out of the state. She said, I've I've hit I've
26:15
Speaker 1: hit the highest mark. I've dotted the I. I've crossed
26:18
Speaker 1: the tee. I'm out of here and now I'm in
26:22

26:44
Speaker 1: think that she's in the army. I'm gonna go. I'm
26:46
Speaker 1: voting no on that.
26:47
Speaker 3: I uh you, I think she might be at an
26:52
Speaker 3: army base. But I don't think she's I think you
26:55
Speaker 3: might be.
26:57
Speaker 1: You might. I'm taking care of my grandchildren and import
27:00
Speaker 1: Riley at the army base, so I'm pretending that I
27:05
Speaker 1: am located. Okay, So you're may you're doing cosplay, and
27:13
Speaker 1: you can you can you not say grandchildren? Can you
27:16
Speaker 1: say just children? Can you just leave it at that?

27:28
Speaker 1: That's right? All right? Well, listen, you're so you move

Speaker 1: away from Kansas City, right, which is you know, a
27:37
Speaker 1: relatively short drug. So you can have the ben mal
27:40

27:43
Speaker 2: I definitely will. I will children to have fings.

Speaker 4: So we got a big fan Justin Cooper, childhood star.
30:35
Speaker 4: We've seen him as a baby and he are. We've
30:38
Speaker 4: also seen him in Dennis the Menace. He was a
30:40
Speaker 4: big star, liar liar when his father heard his feelings
30:43
Speaker 4: and moved to Boston without him and totally destroyed his life.
30:47
Speaker 4: Now we've got Justin Cooper on the coop Scoop of entertainment.
30:54
Speaker 1: Look at that professional Thank you, Scott, Brian Scott Man.
30:59
Speaker 3: There's a couple of notes I had on that. First
31:02
Speaker 3: of all, nice nice pull on the on the er,
31:07
Speaker 3: you know appearance. That's a not a lot of people
31:10
Speaker 3: know that one.
31:12
Speaker 1: He has no life, Coop.
31:15
Speaker 3: But secondly, and liar liar, the dad wasn't moving to Boston.
31:18
Speaker 3: I was going to be moving to Boston without him. Yeah,
31:24
Speaker 3: just flip that around anyway. Speaking of movies though, in
31:28
Speaker 3: the theaters this weekend, we have a couple of movies
31:30
Speaker 3: that are worth mentioning and are kind of kind of exciting.
31:35
Speaker 3: The first one is the latest Disney Pixar film. This
31:38
Speaker 3: one is called Eloh and it's a it's about aliens.
31:42
Speaker 3: Little boy gets you know, taken up into the the universe,
31:46
Speaker 3: the communiverse, an interplanetary organization, and he's mistakenly identified as
31:52
Speaker 3: Earth's ambassador to the rest of the universe. Hilarity, I'm
31:56
Speaker 3: sure ensues a couple of voices that you may recognize
31:59
Speaker 3: in this movie, Garrett of Everybody Loves Raymond fame, and
32:03
Speaker 3: Zoe Saldana is also a voice of her.
32:07
Speaker 1: There's not that many people named Zoe.
32:09
Speaker 3: Yeah, she's famous from the Avatar movies.
32:12
Speaker 1: And also.
32:16
Speaker 3: The other Marvel movie that I Guardians of the Galaxy.
32:19
Speaker 3: That's the one I'm thinking about. Also this weekend is
32:24
Speaker 3: the movie twenty eight years Later. Now, this is actually
32:27
Speaker 3: a sequel to the zombie movie twenty eight Days Later,
32:33
Speaker 3: which was actually twenty three years ago. So they could
32:39
Speaker 3: have waited five more years and had twenty eight years
32:41
Speaker 3: Later be actually twenty eight years later from the original movie.
32:44
Speaker 3: But I don't know what they've missed opportunity there did.
32:48
Speaker 1: The money, they needed the money. They don't want to
32:49
Speaker 1: wait five years. Get the money right now? I wait
32:51
Speaker 1: five years the.
32:52
Speaker 3: Money right right, exactly, So, but this one is getting
32:55
Speaker 3: This one's getting great reviews. And I'm a big fan
32:58
Speaker 3: of the original twenty eight days Later, that one, you know,
33:00
Speaker 3: that came out a long time ago, that was before
33:02
Speaker 3: the whole like zombie thing blew up. It was you know,
33:05
Speaker 3: one of the one of the ogs. So this sequel
33:10
Speaker 3: looks great. Reviews are in and the critics like it.
33:15
Speaker 3: The audience not as much as the critics, but still
33:17
Speaker 3: still a good score. So go check out both of
33:19
Speaker 3: those movies this weekend. And moving over to television, I
33:24
Speaker 3: don't have much for you, actually, but there is one
33:27
Speaker 3: thing that I did want to highlight. It is a
33:29
Speaker 3: documentary special. It airs Tuesday on Netflix and it is
33:34
Speaker 3: called train Wreck Poop Cruise. Now I'm not sure if
33:39
Speaker 3: you remember this, Ben, but a few years back, there
33:43
Speaker 3: was a Carnival cruise where they had a yes, yes
33:46
Speaker 3: I do remember that, Yes, catastrophic like engine fire that
33:52
Speaker 3: caused all the systems and the crews to shut down
33:55
Speaker 3: and then sewage backed up and for you, yeah, yes,
34:01
Speaker 3: it was a terrible thing, like four thousand guests stranded
34:04
Speaker 3: and walking around in their own feces. And so there
34:07
Speaker 3: is a Netflix documentary special on that on Tuesday.
34:11
Speaker 1: How many lawsuits did they have to pay? Out after that.
34:14
Speaker 3: That's a good question. I'm sure a lot. Yeah, but
34:17
Speaker 3: I'm sure I bet the documentary dives into that. So
34:20
Speaker 3: go ahead and check that out on Netflix.
34:23
Speaker 1: Remember that that transcontinental flight, it was a delta flight
34:26
Speaker 1: from it Atlanta. Yeah, it was such a disaster that
34:33
Speaker 1: it was like Barcelona. It was like a biohazard. Somebody
34:39
Speaker 1: just had an issue and it just like flowed down
34:41
Speaker 1: the plane, the aisle on the plane as well.
34:43
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, oh. And also on Wednesday, June twenty fifth
34:47
Speaker 3: on Hulu is the premiere of the fourth season of
34:51
Speaker 3: the critically acclaimed Emmy Award winning comedy series The Bear,
34:56
Speaker 3: which isn't really a comedy at all, I guess. I mean,
34:59
Speaker 3: there's some funny part, but I mean I've seen all
35:01
Speaker 3: the first three seasons and it's it's a lot more
35:03
Speaker 3: of a drama really, but you know, I guess because
35:06
Speaker 3: it's a half hour long, they call it a comedy. Anyway.
35:09
Speaker 3: That is the four season premieres Wednesday, June twenty fifth,
35:12
