  Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: All right, So we are back at it here, and
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: oh what a magical night it was. We're gonna start
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: with the college basketball now. I I was watching baseball
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: all day, but I want to start with.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: The college basketball. We have moved on.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: After a three day hiatus, the twenty twenty six men's
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: basketball tournament has resumed and our lead this hour from
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: the Sweet sixteen. As is per normal, we had double
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: barrel action. Double bar action is four games going on,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: well one at a time or two at a time,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: so four total games, two slots into the Elite eight.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Of course, as of right now at this hour, we're
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: at see We've got still four more games tomorrow, so
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: we're at like ten teams. But eventually we'll get down
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: to the Elite eight, and then by the end of
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: the weekend we'll have the final four all score away.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: So I don't know if you watched any of this
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: or not. The ratings are good.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: I was told by one of my TV friends they
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: changed the ratings so that all the numbers are inflated
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: to make it seem like there's more people watching. So
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: of course that person's very cynical. We're going to start
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: in the West. We're going to start in the West
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: as the number one seed, Arizona trying to move on
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: and advance to the Elite eight, taking on number four Arkansas,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: and I had circled this game. I gave out some
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: terrible advice on this game. I was optimistic. I was
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Benny Brightside.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: On this game. It was a dud. It was an
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: absolute dud.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Arizona finally got over the hurdle for Tommy Lloyd, their coach.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: One of the arguments, well, they've had good players at
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Arizona and they just can't can't get past that.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: Speed bump the Sweet sixteen.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Well they have now and they did it with Gusto
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: the Wildcats of Tommy Lloyd getting twenty three points from
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Bradenbury's and a dominant I mean they were Arkansas. I
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: don't know if they attempted to play defense, it didn't
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: look like it.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: One oh nine to eighty eight.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: That's an NBA style score as they spanked. They being
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Arizona spanking Arkansas and advancing to the Elite eight there,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: and that's a good jumping off point.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: So this is to me, this is the game. I
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: know it wasn't.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: The Purdue game was the game that came down to
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: the very end and all that, and then there was
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: also drama in Iowa and Nebraska, and for this was
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: not This was not drama. But to me, this was
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: the story. So let's discuss the question. You make the call,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: tell me the better story. What is the better story?
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Here is the better story, Arizona's absolute domination, this was
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: a domination situation, or Arkansas and their coach John Calipari
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: getting absolutely.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: Embarrassed, embarrassed in this game.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: So my thoughts on this, I've got the Red Sea,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Johnny Cochrane and bird dogging, and we will combine all
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: of these things together and we are going to pull
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: the one armed bandit. The biggest money maker in Vegas,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: the slot machine, the penny slot machine. They make more
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: money on the penny slot machine than anything else.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: It's all about the penny slot machine.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: So a.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: You know how I'm wired here.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: If you listen to this show even once in a while,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: you know how I'm wild wired. This is not about
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: the Arizona Wildcats men's basketball team being great. They were
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: a top seed for a reason, So stop with that.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: I don't want to hear about it.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: That to me is surface level garbage.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: And if you think that's the better story, you should
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: never host a sports radio show, bad job by you.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: The story here is John Calipari getting absolutely pants on
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: national television. That's the drama, a rama. The man Calipari
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: is a maestro at recruiting. He looks good, dresses well.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: And then this seems to happen quite a bit. And
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: you know how we do things. If it bleeds, it leads,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: And there was a red sea on the court as
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: to the things were unraveling for Arkansas. It's all about
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: the Hogs. Everyone can continue to drool over Arizona like
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: they just discovered fire out there in Tucson, and good
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: for them. They played very well well, they advanced. That's
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: not good talk radio. So from a talk radio standpoint,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: whoopedee damn do. The story is all the excitement that
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: John Calipari brought to Arkansas, the amount of money that
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: was invested in this and that result. Defensively was a
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: crime scene. It looked like the varsity scrimmaging the freshman. Okay,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: this doesn't I don't know how to describe. It was
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: like traffic. It wasn't even Mattador defense. It was traffic
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Cone defense. And if it seems like that's a pretty
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: bad day for John Calipari losing by twenty one points,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: that's not a loss.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: That was a public execution.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: In fact, that's the worst loss we are told in
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: the history of Calipari in the tournament. Now, he's had
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: some doozies, some real great losses elsewhere in the regular season,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: but in terms of the tournament.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: This is the one. And so here's the other.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Part of it, as we continue our in depth team
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: coverage all night. The other part of it is it's
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: not necessarily new. It's not new. In fact, in many ways,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: it's a rerun. John Calipari has been running a basketball
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: clearinghouse going back to Kentucky. Any obviously had some success
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: at Kentucky and occasionally they were going to be a
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: big run. But you look at it overall and it's
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: the same formula. Get the blue chip player, the top freshman,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: great highlights. You're selling the dream of the NBA. You're
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: not selling the banners and all that, and it's getting
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: your feet underneath you.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: And that'll be the counter arrighty as well. You know,
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: it's John caliber. It takes time.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: But the way Calipari coaches, and really the modern landscape
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: of college basketball, I think we can all agree, even
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: though most of us only really pay attention when the
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: tournament begins. The way this works, the way all of
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: this works, is it's a year to year proposition. Everyone's
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: a free agent and you cut checks and you've got
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: to pick the right players. And if you pick the
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: right players, you're in good shape. Everything's great to go
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: and all that. And mentioned this being a rerun, and
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: we've seen this a lot, and this Arkansas basketball much
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: like many others, but Calapar has just done it longer.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: It's like a drive through. You order a.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Bag of talent, and then you get the bag of talent,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: and then you get bounced not that far into the
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: tournament and so that's where we are now turning the
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: page on that I.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: Have noticed, and I don't know if you've noticed noticed this.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: Many of the media people are very upset with this
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: tournament because the thing that has always been here, and
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: I say always last year we had all chalk, but
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: for the vast majority of March madness, the thing that
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: has consistently consistently been there has been that I can't
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: believe that team made it this far.
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: You know what's going on. So I bring that up
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: because Iowa.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: In a interesting game with We'll talk more about this
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: as we go through the overnight. Iowa getting the win
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: over what had been the upstart Nebraska that game played
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: in Houston thanks to a late ferocious effort there. And
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: so the Hawkeys get the dramatic win one by six,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: seventy seven to seventy one, and because of that, coach
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Ben McCollum as a result, getting a lot of praise.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: And so I'm going to frame it this way. Here's
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: the question.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Do the Iowa hawkas to the Iowa Hawk guys of
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: coach Ben McCollum, do they count as a Cinderella. Here
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: In the twenty twenty sixth edition of the NCAA Men's
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: basketball Tournament and the answer I have two words for
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: this Hell no.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: So enough of the media dopes and they're just lazy.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: They're trying to microwave, not air fry, because air fry
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: takes a little longer. They're trying to microwave a narrative
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: that just does not exist. They're desperately they're so used
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: to having this boilerplate story where you just fill in
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: the names of the players and the coach and the
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: school and send it out and it takes up algorithm
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: and it ends up in the algorithm, takes up gigabytes
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: all that stuff. So they're trying to do a just
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: add water story to the Iowa Hawk guys. They want
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Iowa to fill that Cinderella avoid and it just doesn't work.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: It just did taste like cardboard. It's not a good
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: meal now for Iowa. If I was in a Hawkeye
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: fan and a lot and we have a bunch of
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: people in Iowa, they are a big Hawkeye fans that
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: are listening to the show, and some of you guys
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: have sent me. I have a Hawkeye hat because of
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: you guys. You hooked me up, so thank you for that.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: That's more valuable now because I was advanced in the tournament,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: so I'm not spitting loogies at their coach. All bends
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: have to support other guys named Ben. It's not a
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: common name. There's not a lot of people named Ben.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: So we have people name band. It's like the brotherhood
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: of Band, and we got to support bands, and we do.
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: And the Hawkeyes are here.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: And they could go to the Final four and all
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: that wonderful stop in terms of Cinderella.
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: And here's why last I checked. And maybe I'm wrong
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: on this.
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: I just do the overnight show.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Iowa is a Big ten school, which means they have resources,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: they have nice planes, they have nice facilities. Now, are
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: they a basketball school? No, they're a wrestling school. Is
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: that fair to say? I don't think of Iowa not
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: really a football school unless you like games that are
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: like fourteen thirteen or something like that. To me, you
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: cannot be an upstart when you're cash rich and you're
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: backed by a power conference.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: Am I wrong on that?
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: I look at this like the old square peg in
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: a in a round whole situation, you're trying to put
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: the square peg into the round hole. And many of
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: these basketball scribed bloggers whatever you want to.
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: Call them these days, I don't know. We call them writers.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: They're just kind of bloggers and clickbait artists and all that.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: They're trying to hit this thing with a mallet, and
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: it's like, well, no, it's a square peg, and then
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: the holes round and all that stuff. And as the
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Great Johnny Cochrane, the late great Johnny Cochrane taught me
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: as a child, he said, and I was paying attention.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: If you were, if it don't fit, you must have quit.
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: So it does.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: I would just not fit as a Cinderella. You cannot
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: convince me that that's the case. This is and I
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: don't know if it's gonna be the regular. It's a
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: small sample size. It is a Cinderella less tournament.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: Just deal with it. Just deal with it.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: You have a mix of some blue bloods and some
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: mid level.
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: They're not Cinderella.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: They're kind of like middling, middle management type people. To
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: call a big team a Cinderella is an insult to
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: glass slippers everywhere. It's both lazy and fraudulent at the
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: same time. So that's that. We'll talk about some of
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: the other games as we go through. I did want
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: to mention something from the coach in Carousel. Did North
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: Carolina hire a coach? No, Boston College did not. I
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: don't normally talk about Boston College because they're Boston College.
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: Why would you?
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: I found this interesting enough to bring up here and
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: to chat with you about. It rises to high crimes
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: and misdemeanors here as Boston College, we are told hired
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: or is in the process of finalizing a deal with
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: Yukon assistant coach Luke Murray as their next head coach.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: And he said, well, is that the guy? That is
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: that the guy they showed on TV because of his daddy? Yes, yes,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: that is the spawn of a man who is part
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: of some of the greatest cinema back before Hollywood went terrible,
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: back when they actually used to make good movies and
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: original movies, and many many years ago, these movies are
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: still cult favorites. Bill Murray, that's his kid, Ghostbusters and
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: all the rest back in the day. And so now
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: we'll see Bill Murray at Boston College games with the
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: question what are your expectations, if any, for Bill Murray's son,
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: Luke Murray as he gets his first big time head
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: coaching job. I say loosely big time because Boston College
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: is certainly not a basketball school, but they're not a
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: football school either. All right, So here's my thought. I'm
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: gonna be Benny Bryce out on this. Could it be
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: because I grew up on Bill Murray movies?
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: Possibly? Possibly? I'm gonna give this guy credit.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: And here's why this guy did not just ride the
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: coattails of his father's fame.
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: I don't believe that. I looked at his resume.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: The guys spent nearly twenty years in the trenches and
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: bounced all over the place. He's been bird dogging, bird
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: dogging Dan Hurley, the Yukon head coach, mensa crazy person, lunatic,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: what ever want to call him, and he's been the
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: right hand man for Dan Hurley since twenty twenty one credited.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: I don't know how much of this is true or not.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: As the architect of their euro style offense, and of
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: course won a couple of championships Yukon did in twenty
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: three and twenty four, and he paid his dues. You look,
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: he bounced around. He's been at a number of schools
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: we're talking about Luke Murray, including Quinnipac. Now, when you're
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: at Quinnepac, that means you're at the very bottom. And
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: he's been in a bunch of other smaller schools and
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: he's got a lot of ties to the Northeast, and
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: so he's seen the good, the bad, and the ugly
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: of college basketball recruiting and all that. And the main
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: reason that you should be somewhat optimistic here is because
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: there are no ex there are no expectations. BC has
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: become the spam of the ACC.
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: They are just calling it is.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: Here's no need to sugarcoat anything, and it just kind
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: of fill a slot on the schedule. Very rarely are
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: they competitive the monster conference era that we're in right now,
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: or these conferences are mega mega mega. What is the
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: ACC like eighteen teams or something like that. Like for
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: some reason they put Stanford and Cal in there. That
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: makes sense, but they're in there. And so Boston College
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: has finished near the bottom since they expanded the ACC
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: and for them, the bars.
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: If you reach the ACC tournament.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: I believe I'm correct on this that that's considered a success.
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: So for for.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Murray, for Luke Murray going in there, the floor is
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: so low that even a five hundred conference record would
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: make it seem like you've done a good job. Now,
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: the biggest total always is going to be the checkbook.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: BC has historically struggled with nil that name, image and likeness,
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: the support. They can't They just haven't been able to
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: get the amount of revenue going as.
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: The blue bloods and understandable.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: So it's going to take and I don't know the
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: most powerful, like the richest alumni. I'm not that familiar
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: with Boston College alumni. I'm sure every university that's been
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: around for a while has a couple people that have
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: been really really wealthy, successful and all that. So one
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: of those people, like kind of like Mark Cuban bankrolled
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: Indiana football.
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: If the deep pocket boosters are there.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: You can buy the roster, you can get the top
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: offense and all that, and you got a guy that's
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: been billed as this great offensive coach.
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: We'll see if that's true or not.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: But it's the pay to play landscape, which is often
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: the great equalizer and can lift you up as well.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maler

  Speaker 3: Hi, this is Jay.
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: I'm the producer of the Paula and Tony Fusco Show.
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: Usually in these promos they asked you to listen to
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: the show. I'm here to ask you please don't listen
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: to the show. The hosts are two absolute morons who
• 17:13
  Speaker 5: have the dumbest takes on sports imaginable. Don't listen to
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: the show so it can get camps.
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: What the hell are you doing out studio in him, Paulie,
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: Ignore that fool. Listen to the Pauline Tony Fusco Show
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcast.
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: He's still moving from Los Angeles.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: And that was the over the top home opener and
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: the debut of the back to back champs of Major
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: League Baseball. If you saw any of this was on
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: in b see there was Will Ferrell. I went to
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: the same high school as Will Ferrell. Back in the day,
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Will Ferrell helped the Dwyers celebrate their championship, the latest championship?
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: Is he still working? Will Ferrell? I feel like he's
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: not really doing much. He's made so much money he
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: didn't need to do anyway.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: He's still famous, and there he was driving around Freddie
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: Freeman and Miguel Rojas in a made for the Jumbo
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: Tron moment at Chevez Ravine.
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: On the opening day.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: There they had Freeman and Rojas each holding up the
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: championship trophies from the last couple of years.
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: Now. As for the game itself, the.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: Diamondbacks briefly did have a lead, and then Andy Piez
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: said by bye hit to go ahead three run homer
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: in the fifth, and the Dodgers did not. And the
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: usual big boppers did not necessarily get it done. Will
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: Smith did, but some of these other guys kind of quiet.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: And the Dodgers, though, rally get past Arizona eight to two.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: So the Dodgers are on pace to win one hundred
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: and sixty something games this year. So they beat the
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: Diamondbacks in the season opening. The thing people are talking about, though,
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: is not necessarily that. It's all the other stuff. It's
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: the Will Ferrell fingam a jig. It's all that. So
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: that's a good jumping off point. Let us discuss the
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: question where do you stand on this Dodger opening day
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: pomp and circumstance as it was, So I've got cracker barrel,
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: social experiment, and hangover, and we will combine all of
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: these things together, and you and I are going to
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: bake some cupcakes, is what we're going to do, and
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: then we're gonna run like the devil is after that.
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: First of all, the Dodgers didn't open a season. It
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: looked like they were opening a theme park. It was
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: sensory overload and I weren't even there. I was watching
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: this stuff online and it's like they charged extra for it.
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: More on that in a minute. My takeaway from watching
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: all this it was like, dude, what are these people doing.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: It's like going down to cracker Barrel and saying, can
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: I get a large order of cornbread? So we don't
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: have any corn bread, We'll give you some cornball. That
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: was a lot of hokey pokey, a lot of hockey
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: stuff there. It was a thirty minute variety show the
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: Dodgers put on. Did anyone want this? Was anyone looking
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: for this? Did anyone say this is what I need?
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: Thirty minute variety show before the baseball game. They had pyrotechnics,
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: fighter jets, magic Johnson. I guess they couldn't find any
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: Dodger legends. So they brought a Laker legend out. They
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: had celebrity cameos, they had all of it. The only
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: thing missing was the gong from the Gong show.
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: They didn't have the gong. Where was the gong?
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: Because I'm sure the people in charge, they clearly believe
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: that on its own just having a baseball game, having
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: a baseball game is no longer no longer good enough
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: for human consumption. You have to dress it up.
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: And all that.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: And I'm watching all this, I'm like, well, you're supposed
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: to be a high end steakhouse, like a really ritchy steakhouse.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: Can you imagine a state house so ashamed of their porterhouse,
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: so embarrassed by their porterhouse. They they're like, listen, we're
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: going to serve sparklers, and we're going to have a
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: karaoke bar and we'll do some dancing, and that's how
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: we're going to do it.
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: Of course, the broadcasters who are on the on the payroll,
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: they're compromised. They fonnd oh, it was great, and they
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: might as well have been landing on.
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: The moon and landing on the moon and it was
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: just kind of a weird, just not for me. I
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: admit it. It's not for me.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: I don't really enjoy that kind of stuff. Some of
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: you guys love it, and that's for you. That's for
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: the casuals. I think for you, for the casual it's great.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: It's a wonderful woo man. Look at that Will Ferrell
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: in a blue a blue Cadillac driving on the field.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: That's great. That's absolutely. They would have had Larry King
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: he's dead. Unfortunately, couldn't get Larry. He was unavailable across
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: the Pearly gates, so I could.
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: Not get him right now.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: Secondly, staying in LA, the Dodgers became a trending topic
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: before they took the field, before Will Ferrell drove Freddie
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: Freeman and Miguel Rojas around the field.
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: Why well, it.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: Wasn't because they have anything Otani did or Yoshinobu Yamamoto
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: on the mound. No, Instead, the Dodgers became yet again,
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: I this is like the fifth or sixth time. It
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: feels like in recent weeks the Dodgers have become a
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: trending topic for screwing over their fans. It's wild. It
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: is absolutely wild, and no one calls them out on it.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: And I understand why. There's some reasons that I can't
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: get into, but this is rather crazy. This latest thing,
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: the latest humiliation is next level. So the Dodgers' concession
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: prices started getting passed around. There was one item in
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: particular that people were losing their mind, losing their mind over.
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: So the Dodgers are offering a value meal this year.
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: So the value meal.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: Is too hot dogs, two soft drinks, and a helmet nacho.
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: How much do you think that costs?
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: Two hot dogs, two soft drinks, and a helmet nacho?
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: All right, you got a number in your head.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: Okay, that will be very affordable for thirty five dollars.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: That will set you back thirty five dollars. It's very affordable.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: If you manage a hedge fund, it's very affordable. The
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: concession prices in general were They're just so outrageous across
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: the board. They've always been bad. It just seems like
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: this year is next level. My favorite, my favorite is
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: the soft serve nine ninety nine, ten dollars for a
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: little small cup of soft serve. This is like a
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: stupid test, like are you how dumb are you? Are
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: you gonna pay twenty dollars for a craft beer or
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: are you gonna go to somewhere and buy.
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: A whole case of craft beer?
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: All right, So the question do you have any advice,
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: any advice to the Dodger fan on how to deal
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: with the clear price gouging. It's not even up for
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: debate anymore. It's like they're just like, we're a luxury Brian,
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: we're a rodeo drive. No, you're a baseball team. Okay,
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: we're a rodeo drive. We're gonna screw our fans, Okay
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: you are. So my advice is in honor of the
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: Dodgers the fans that go there, I recommend the.
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: Clear doggie bag. Doggie bag.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: Yes, bring your own food or better yet, just eat
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: before you go there and then eat after.
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: That's what you do.
• 24:38
  Speaker 6: Uh.
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: It is a tradition unlike any other though. This is
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: I'm telling you.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: I'm blown away by that. I know people work over
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: there and they even are blown away. So the people
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: I have talked to, they're like, yeah, they got it,
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: and they got no. You know, they don't want to
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: go How high can you go? And we're talking about
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: master's level greed? Except I guess this is it's processed meat.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: So the Dodgers are not just selling base ball. I
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: really believe that they're conducting a social experiment to see
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: exactly how much dumb money a human being will surrender
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: for the privilege of eating a bowl of lukewarm nacho
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: cheese and a poorly cooked hot dog and some soda.
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: So I did some math on this, and I was like, well,
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: this seems oury. So if you went to.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: Costco for thirty five dollars, a dollar fifty gets you
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: a hot dog and a soda pop, So that'll set
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: you back. You get thirty five bucks, you get over
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: twenty three hot dogs and drinks at Costco. At Dodger Stadium,
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: you get two hot dogs, two drinks, and a bowl
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: of lukewarm nachos for the same.
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: The same price of my godzos. It's so bad, it's great.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: They really what they've done is they weaponized your lack
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: of self control. They know that you're like, well, I
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: don't go to a lot of games. It's rare and appropriate,
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: so I am fine getting my wallet taken from me.
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: And it's not even about hunger.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: It's about the sheer hutzpa, the sheer hootspa of just
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: like our customers are just ATMs and that's it, and
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: they just happen to be wearing the merch. It's an
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: emotional tax. Twenty dollars for a craft beer. Okay, that's
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: not an adult beverage. That is a liquid insult at
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: that point. And I have a dream now, not as
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: good as Martin Luther King, but I have a dream.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: Wouldn't it be great if everyone I know this is
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: not gonna happen. I'll just throw out there anyway. If
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: everyone just stopped buying the crappy food for one homestand
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: and they were buried in ten thousand, you know, not
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: ten toime'd be one hundred thousand rotting Dodger dogs out
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: in the parking lot because nobody bought them. Oh, it'd
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: be so great, be beautiful. It would be smelly, you know,
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: it'd be smell. I would be smelly. Instead, we keep
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: seeing these dingle berries continuing to buy, and that's why
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: the prices keep going up, like people enjoyed being fleeced.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: It is a fascinating flaw in the human wiring that
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: that people think that it's just well, that's just a
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: price you got to pay for it. Well, you don't
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: have to, and you're just an easy mark, is what
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: you are. It's unfortunate, and it's like this weird thing
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: where it's like you're the sucker and you got this
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: toxic relationship. It's pretty wild.
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: All right. Now, Uh, final flight we go.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: Let's let's let's go around the around the diamond and
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: it's twib notes this week in baseball, Well not quite.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: Let's crank up the claw machine and grab some of
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: the other headlines. And uh, here's the question, what else
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: caught your eye around the majors and what was the.
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: Real first opening day?
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: Not that little appetizer between the Higants who didn't even
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: show up against the Yankees. So in Cincinnati, the Red
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: Sox a workman like when they they were hitting the
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: ball pretty well against the Reds and Garrett Crochet he
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: avoided what I call the hangover. Not that kind of hangover,
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: you dope. No, I'm talking about the fact he got
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: lit up in the Grapefruit League. Garrett Crochet had an
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: ERA of over seven and there were some people whispering,
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they were whispering that. And Crochet went out
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: there after a bad spring, and granted it was against
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: the Reds, which is not a good team, but he
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: still was the ace of Diamonds. Six shutout innings, had
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: eight strikeouts, gave up three hits, a couple of walks,
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: and Roman Anthony who played well in the World Baseball Classic,
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: although not the final at bat, he had a three
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: hits so also a crucial challenge there late in that
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: game that helped expand the lead pad the lead there
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: for the Socks. A lot of good pitching in Milwaukee.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: There was a juicy bite of watermelon as the miss
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: got it done.
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: Jacob Missoski, these.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: Young candidate this year out of the gates fast for Milwaukee.
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: As he was on the mound there the miz gave
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: up a home run to the first battery faced and
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: then settle in and I believe he has a Brewer
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: Franchise record now eleven strikeouts over five innings in one
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: run ball and the Velocity Horrors were very excited about that.
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: He was thrown in the high nineties, so they were
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: all excited. I have one hundred and one and the.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: Only mark on that game, and those only one is
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: it was against a minor league team, the White Sox.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: I believe they're from the Pacific Coast League. Now, so
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: it's you got to temper your excitement when you do
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: that against the White Sox. Let's do it against the
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: big league team and then we'll see how that goes
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: now elsewhere the Orioles. Is this a bounce back season
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: for the Oriols. Trevor Rodgers locking up the pathetic Twins
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: and he got to win.
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: He pitched well last year, so that's a shocker.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: How about this though, Pete Alonzo did not get a
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: hit in his Orioles debut and Gunner Henderson, those guys
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: combined to go zero for seven. And on the other side,
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: Joe Ryan a solid start from Minnesota.
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: And every time he pitches, it's just a showcase.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: Right, We're just we're just waiting for him to end
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: up with the Dodgers, the Yankees of the Red Sox,
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: one of the usual suspects, Joe Ryan, who will at
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: some point this summer be traded before before August, before
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: August in San Diego, Oh are the Padres back to
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: be in? Those are my Padres? When I worked in
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: San Diego, hey sucked. They were down eight nothing against
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: the Tigers. Tigers are good, but eight nothing, that's embarrassing.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: Isn't it all right?
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: Anyway?
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: Somebody named Kevin McGonagall. I don't no idea where that
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: is because he's a rookie third baseman. And how about
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: having a debut four for five, couple of doubles, a
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: couple of ribbies, and two runs scored and the Tigers
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: get an easy win. The only thing here that I
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: would say, because I can't be totally positive, I got
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: to mix in negativity, is Trek Scoubele, the ace of aces,
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: who's trying to get one of those five hundred million
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: dollar contracts after the year in free agency.
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: He was not overpowering. He was not overpowering.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: He didn't need to be podres are not that great
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: and so he didn't need to be that guy.
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: But he was not. That was not the guy that's.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: Gonna get the four hundred million, five hundred million dollar
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: contract in that game.
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. About
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: that to the third degree, This is one big Ben
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: gets grilled blue.
• 31:45
  Speaker 6: In a video posted Wednesday, the Florida Attorney General demanded
• 31:48
  Speaker 6: that the NFL suspend the Rooney Rule. He said that
• 31:51
  Speaker 6: the NFL's use of the Runey rule violates Florida law
• 31:53
  Speaker 6: by requiring race based considerations and hiring, and that refusing
• 31:57
  Speaker 6: to suspend the rule would result in quote in actions
• 32:00
  Speaker 6: against the league for race based discrimination.
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: Ben, what do you think comes of this?
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: Well, we mentioned this the other day, and it really
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: depends on how much Florida wants to press it, right,
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: because they, you know, they can make their own laws
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: and all that.
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: I've always been told.
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: That businesses can make their own rules at private businesses,
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: and the NFL is a private business, but they're in
• 32:19
