2:13
Speaker 1: wrong with you? Have you lost your mind? No? I've
2:16
Speaker 1: not lost my mind. But we have a mantra on
2:19
Speaker 1: this show. We start out every day looking for the
2:21
Speaker 1: things that are interesting to talk about. I thought this was.
2:24
Speaker 1: Several of my compadres sent me the story, including the
2:29
Speaker 1: bus driver Roberto, who's a friend of the show forever,
2:33
Speaker 1: Roberto who left drive a bus. But our lead is
2:37
Speaker 1: from spring Training, Arizona and Florida. The content city. Yeah wow.
2:46
Speaker 1: Sports Chatter filling up with Bronx Bomber angst, Bronx Bomber angst.
2:52
Speaker 1: If you didn't see this or hear about it, maybe
2:55
Speaker 1: you're not into the baseball stuff yet. I get it.
2:57
Speaker 1: I thought this was a good story, and I have
2:59
Speaker 1: atorial control, so I am going with his story. Yankees
3:03
Speaker 1: manager Aaron Boone, who is like a tenured professor at Harvard.
3:08
Speaker 1: You can't get rhythm, Aaron Boone. So Aaron Boone was
3:12
Speaker 1: spitting mad as the Yankees get ready to start spring training.
3:17
Speaker 1: Here get spring training underway in Florida. Aaron Boon very
3:20
Speaker 1: upset after hearing the criticism directed to his Yankee team
3:26
Speaker 1: that was levied by the Doyers after they bludgeoned the
3:32
Speaker 1: Yankees in last year's World Series. Boone, as the Yankees
3:36
Speaker 1: begin spring training camp in Florida, said, the Yankees will
3:39
Speaker 1: quote handle things with a little more class if New
3:43
Speaker 1: York wins the Fall Classic in twenty twenty five. Keep
3:46
Speaker 1: in mind that you're in high school now and the
3:50
Speaker 1: last if you're in high school right now, like as
3:52
Speaker 1: a freshman or a sophomore in high school, when you
3:56
Speaker 1: were like born, the Yankees last one World Series? How
3:59
Speaker 1: about that? Yeah? Yankees last one in nine? My computer
4:04
Speaker 1: like brain tells me that sixteen years ago. And the
4:08
Speaker 1: way the Yankees are going, Uh, it's the big apple.
4:11
Speaker 1: You say, it's a big rotten apple. They're not going
4:14
Speaker 1: the right direction. So let us discuss good story. Right,
4:18
Speaker 1: So it's after the World Series. Months and months have passed.
4:21
Speaker 1: World Series was what late October, early November. World Series ends,
4:26
Speaker 1: you go through December, January. Now we're into February and
4:30
Speaker 1: still still this is an issue. So the question can
4:35
Speaker 1: you parse the words? Can you parse the words of
4:40
Speaker 1: manager Aaron Boone when he says the Yankees will have
4:43
Speaker 1: more class than the Dayers if they win the World
4:47
Speaker 1: Series in twenty twenty five? All right, so buckle up, buccaroo.
4:51
Speaker 1: I've got Kremlin, Suckersville, and Blues Brothers. We will combine
4:59
Speaker 1: all of these things together and we're going to make
5:02
Speaker 1: a slice of authentic key lime pie from this local
5:08
Speaker 1: key Lime pie shop in Florida. And so that's that's
5:13
Speaker 1: what we're gonna do. We're gonna make some key lime pie.
5:15
Speaker 1: So n burn. Yeah, Aaron Boone is seeing ghosts. He's
5:24
Speaker 1: like Sam Darnold, right, it's a Poulter Guy situation. He's
5:26
Speaker 1: being haunted by Yankees of years gone by, and the
5:30
Speaker 1: fact that the Yankees did the old slip and fall.
5:34
Speaker 1: I've fallen, I can't get up in the World Series,
5:36
Speaker 1: from Freddie Freeman's iconic walk off Grand Slam to begin
5:41
Speaker 1: the Fall Classic to the performance that ended it, the
5:46
Speaker 1: bloopers and practical jokes in Game five of the World Series.
5:49
Speaker 1: This performance has opened the oozing puss from the Yankees.
5:56
Speaker 1: Now Aaron Boone annoyed, and he's really upset with two guys,
6:00
Speaker 1: Chris Taylor and Joe Kelly, who criticized the Yankees and
6:04
Speaker 1: their inability to field the baseball, their inability to run
6:09
Speaker 1: the bases. They're just blatant lack of fundamentals the bedrock
6:14
Speaker 1: of baseball in the Bronx, and even though they're getting
6:17
Speaker 1: paid a lot of money, there's not good at that.
6:19
Speaker 1: And these comments came out in the aftermath of the
6:22
Speaker 1: World Series and saying that the New York's issues in
6:24
Speaker 1: those areas were well known. I believe Chris Taylor had
6:27
Speaker 1: said that, and Joe Kelly just went scorched earth and
6:31
Speaker 1: said that the Yankees just essentially poopied down their leg.
6:37
Speaker 1: They poopied down their leg. So Aaron Boone. After a
6:42
Speaker 1: minutes long Mallard deliberation, I have determined that Aaron Boone
6:47
Speaker 1: is like the Kremlin. He supports online censorship. He does
6:51
Speaker 1: not want the truth to get out. He wants to
6:54
Speaker 1: silence the opposition. And spoiler alert, spoiler alert, both Chris
7:00
Speaker 1: Taylor and Joe Kelly were spot on. No lies detected.
7:05
Speaker 1: The Yankees were a mediocre to bad defensive team that
7:11
Speaker 1: had been their kryptonite. They were not a fundamentally well
7:14
Speaker 1: schooled team. And Joe Kelly is also right that the
7:17
Speaker 1: Yankees did. I don't know they pooped down their leg.
7:19
Speaker 1: I think they urinated down their leg. It was a
7:22
Speaker 1: massive failure what the Yankees did in Game five of
7:25
Speaker 1: the World Series. And in case you've forgotten, because we've
7:28
Speaker 1: gone through a few months here since the World Series,
7:31
Speaker 1: Garrett Cole was on the mound. He was working on
7:34
Speaker 1: a no hitter. It was the fifth inning. He had
7:37
Speaker 1: a five run lead, highest paid pitcher in baseball, Garrett Cole,
7:42
Speaker 1: five run lead at home the Boogeynown Bronx Yankee Stadium.
7:48
Speaker 1: And then there was not one, not two, but three
7:52
Speaker 1: egregious boners by the Bronx Bombers. Beginning with that Aaron Judge,
7:58
Speaker 1: El Kapitan, Aaron Judge who muffed the fly ball in
8:03
Speaker 1: center field. Then you had the next jeter, Anthony Volpi,
8:08
Speaker 1: who had a throwing error. And the cherry on top
8:12
Speaker 1: of the poopy Sunday was Garrett Cole, the highest paid
8:14
Speaker 1: pitcher in baseball, too lazy to cover first base on
8:18
Speaker 1: a ground ball to Anthony Rizzo. And the way I
8:23
Speaker 1: look at this, and then the main reason Aaron Boone's
8:25
Speaker 1: upsets why defending the pride of the Yankees and all that,
8:28
Speaker 1: That's not what this is. Aaron Boone at his core
8:31
Speaker 1: realizes he failed the Yankees, that he did a bad
8:35
Speaker 1: job as Yankee manager, and he kept his job because
8:37
Speaker 1: the ownership of the Yankees don't care that much. Now,
8:41
Speaker 1: that's not the old man Steinbrenner. It's the kids, and
8:44
Speaker 1: the kids just run it as a business and as
8:46
Speaker 1: long as Cashman's there, Boone will be there. But it's
8:49
Speaker 1: the same concept we use in football, we use it
8:52
Speaker 1: in baseball. And Aaron Boone knows this. You're either coaching
8:55
Speaker 1: it or you're allowing it to happen. But either way,
8:58
Speaker 1: it's on Aaron Boone. Either Aaron Boone is allowing it
9:02
Speaker 1: to happen, meaning he's not doing the fundamental drills and
9:06
Speaker 1: trying to improve the Yankees defensively, or or you know,
9:11
Speaker 1: he's kind of looking the other way. Either way, it's
9:12
Speaker 1: not good. Now we move from baseball and we go
9:16
Speaker 1: to Philadelphi huddle around the radio, but we go to
9:20
Speaker 1: Philly for a little basketball talk. There were some whispers
9:23
Speaker 1: out I thought this was intriguing around the NBA that say,
9:28
Speaker 1: despite all of these wild trade rumors and some of
9:31
Speaker 1: the big trades that have actually happened, like Jimmy Butler
9:34
Speaker 1: traded and Luca not really a trade more of a giveaway,
9:39
Speaker 1: make a wish for the Lakers. So Joel Embiid in Philly,
9:43
Speaker 1: his injuries are so massive combined with his contract he
9:48
Speaker 1: has three years and one hundred and ninety two million
9:52
Speaker 1: dollars on the contract extension that the seventy six Ers
9:56
Speaker 1: even if they tried to trade Joel Embiid, they wouldn't
10:00
Speaker 1: be able to. He is not a tradable commodity for Philadelphia.
10:06
Speaker 1: That is the money quote that report making the rounds here.
10:09
Speaker 1: The chatter is that Joel Embiid, with all of the
10:13
Speaker 1: injury woes and his contract. He is not tradeable by
10:18
Speaker 1: the Sixers right now, believe it or not. Believe it
10:21
Speaker 1: or not, so I believe it to a point. And
10:27
Speaker 1: with all of these trades, the NBA trade deadline outs
10:30
Speaker 1: it's over. Doesn't mean no more trades until the off season.
10:33
Speaker 1: But Joel Embiid, we know he's still in Philly, and
10:37
Speaker 1: that tells me this is very deep. That is a
10:40
Speaker 1: dead giveaway, dead giveaway. Joel is in the same category
10:45
Speaker 1: as Ben Simmons, as Kawhi Leonard. Just two seasons ago,
10:51
Speaker 1: he won the Most Valuable Player Award. Now, I shouldn't
10:54
Speaker 1: have won it the last year. It should have gone
10:55
Speaker 1: to Jokic again, but they gave it to Embiid and
10:58
Speaker 1: they felt bad for him because he bitched a lot,
11:00
Speaker 1: and so they gave Embiid the MVP award that year. However,
11:04
Speaker 1: he continues to be more unreliable and is a diminished asset.
11:08
Speaker 1: I was actually watching some of the the Sixers game
11:12
Speaker 1: because I got nothing else going on on Tuesday, and
11:15
Speaker 1: it was about a minute to go before halftime, and
11:18
Speaker 1: Embiid goes down. And every time he goes down, it's
11:22
Speaker 1: like Anthony Davis or Kawhidi. All these guys are the same.
11:24
Speaker 1: They're all frauds, right, They're so fragile. It's like Humpty Dumpty,
11:28
Speaker 1: Humpty dumpty fell down and you're like, oh, hit me out,
11:31
Speaker 1: and he's like so dramatic, grabbing, Oh my god, my arm,
11:35
Speaker 1: the whole thing. It's it's so pathetic. Now, as far
11:39
Speaker 1: as the question at hand, and I said, I am,
11:41
Speaker 1: I believe it to a point. The reason I only
11:44
Speaker 1: believe it to a point that Joel Embiid is not
11:46
Speaker 1: tradable right now by the Sixers is in order for
11:50
Speaker 1: the seventy six ers to get out from under Joel
11:53
Speaker 1: Ebeid's deal, they would have to visit a town called Suckersville,
11:57
Speaker 1: and sucker You're never that far away from Suckersville. You're
12:01
Speaker 1: never that far away. So far they've been unable to
12:05
Speaker 1: reach Suckersville. Maybe the moat around Suckersville, the drawbridge is
12:10
Speaker 1: up around Suckersville, and they can't get into Suckersville. But
12:14
Speaker 1: you just have to find a team dumb enough to
12:17
Speaker 1: take Embid. I'm worried the Clippers are going to take Embid,
12:19
Speaker 1: that they'll trade for Embiid and they'll make some kind
12:21
Speaker 1: of wild deal and they'll reunite Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid.
12:25
Speaker 1: But if you're a poker player and you're at the
12:27
Speaker 1: table playing poker, right, and if you look around the
12:31
Speaker 1: table and there's like three or four other people at
12:33
Speaker 1: the table, you play poker and you don't see the
12:36
Speaker 1: sucker at the table, the suckers you, right. So that's
12:40
Speaker 1: a generally pretty good rule of thumb. And so Joel
12:43
Speaker 1: Embid the Sixers are the sucker to this point, trust
12:46
Speaker 1: the process. They trusted the process. They haven't won anything.
12:50
Speaker 1: And now they've got this guy that can't either can't
12:54
Speaker 1: stay healthy or it's just not that into it and
12:57
Speaker 1: has some issues. Got into it with a Philadelphia media
13:01
Speaker 1: guy because he can't control his emotion, Joel Embiid. And
13:05
Speaker 1: so there you are, all right now, final point to
13:08
Speaker 1: the high Speed Sports Wire. We go the high speed
13:12
Speaker 1: Sports Wire, the wire burning up. The Lakers have made
13:16
Speaker 1: a move. They've acquired their guy. Move over Wilt Chamberlain.
13:21
Speaker 1: Move over Kareem abdul Jabbar, move over Wilt Chamberlain. The
13:26
Speaker 1: Lakers have added a center. The Lakers have made their move.
13:30
Speaker 1: They have completed the team. They are now championship ready,
13:34
Speaker 1: the LA Lakers. I don't know if you're ready for
13:36
Speaker 1: this or not. They waived Christian Wood and they did
13:40
Speaker 1: a roster buyout edition. Roster buyout edition. The LA Lakers
13:45
Speaker 1: adding to their legacy, writing another chapter the greatness of
13:49
Speaker 1: Laker basketball. They have added Alex Lenn. The LA Lakers
13:57
Speaker 1: have added Alex Lenn. That is their new center. Congratulations Lakers, congratulations,
14:04
Speaker 1: tremendous pick up. Unbelievable. The entire NBA is shocked. How
14:09
Speaker 1: could the Lakers have gotten this guy? It must be rigged.
14:11
Speaker 1: So Alex Lenn was supposed to sign with the Pacers,
14:15
Speaker 1: but he decided he'd rather just live in LA and
14:19
Speaker 1: have all the historians lick his toes. And so the
14:23
Speaker 1: Lakers they needed somebody because Charlotte waived that guy. Or
14:28
Speaker 1: Charlotte traded Mark Williams and the Lakers decided they didn't
14:31
Speaker 1: want him because he was damaged Goods. So he went
14:33
Speaker 1: back to North Carolina and the Lakers have added Alex
14:37
Speaker 1: Lenn to fill the center position. Does that hit the spot?
14:44
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it definitely hits the spot. I could not
14:47
Speaker 1: stop laughing when I saw this that this is the solution,
14:51
Speaker 1: This is the answer. You know what that is. It
14:54
Speaker 1: is a Blues Brothers tune. Rubber biscuit. It is a
14:58
Speaker 1: rubber biscuit. It is a wish sandwich, the kind of
15:02
Speaker 1: a sandwich where you take two pieces of bread right
15:05
Speaker 1: to put them together and you wish you had some
15:08
Speaker 1: meat about Wow. Wow Wow. Alex Land has played in
15:11
Speaker 1: thirty six games for Sacramento this season. And I got
15:16
Speaker 1: to tell you, I know my basketball. This guy's a stud.
15:20
Speaker 1: And I don't know how the Lakers got him. I
15:22
Speaker 1: don't know how they did it. Alex lann averaged in
15:25
Speaker 1: Sacramento this year one point four points per game, one
15:29
Speaker 1: point eight rebounds per game. Very impressive. Another solid move
15:35
Speaker 1: by the Skinny Suits GM there of the Lakers, the
15:39
Speaker 1: Wizards had acquired Alex Lynn from Sacramento. It was a
15:44
Speaker 1: three way trade that happened last week before the deadline,
15:49
Speaker 1: and it was the Marcus Smart trade. He went from
15:52
Speaker 1: Memphis to the Wizards and then they bought Alex lenn
15:56
Speaker 1: out and so the Lakers making their move. What a move.
16:02
Speaker 1: It was Alex Lynn roster spam and now he is
16:06
Speaker 1: a like a great moments in Laker history from Chamberlain
16:10
Speaker 1: to Kareem and to Shaq and even before that George
16:14
Speaker 1: Miken and now a great Alex Lenn How do they
16:18
Speaker 1: keep doing it? How do they get it done? I
16:21
Speaker 1: don't understand. It is the Ben Mahlor Show. If you

18:25
Speaker 1: great show knowledge. Late Night Drug Tester one of the
18:28
Speaker 1: all time worst moments in the history of the Fox
18:31
Speaker 1: Sports Radio There was a kid for the Hawaiian Little
18:34
Speaker 1: League team that was the pitcher and the top hitter
18:38
Speaker 1: hit like a Grand Slam to win the Little League
18:41
Speaker 1: World Series. This probably goes back, I don't know, fifteen years.
18:44
Speaker 1: The kid's probably like almost thirty now. But we had
18:46
Speaker 1: him on and I demanded, I said, that kid's the hero.
18:50
Speaker 1: We got to get the kid on, and I asked
18:52
Speaker 1: open ended questions one after another, and the kid had
18:56
Speaker 1: stage fright. He was nervous to be on the radio
18:59
Speaker 1: and was an app solute disaster. It was so oh my.
19:06
Speaker 1: I must have asked. I'm doing this for memory, so
19:10
Speaker 1: I'll probably get it wrong. If I heard it again,
19:12
Speaker 1: it would be much different than my memory. But my
19:13
Speaker 1: memory is I asked him maybe eight or nine questions
19:18
Speaker 1: in about two minutes, about two and most of it was.
19:24
Speaker 3: Trying to get him to reply at all.
19:26
Speaker 1: Yeah, just trying to get him to open up. And
19:28
Speaker 1: who's your or who's your favorite place.
19:30
Speaker 3: For just have one answers like yeah, I don't know,
19:33
Speaker 3: but you asked.
19:35
Speaker 1: I'd be like, well, i'd ask a non open question.
19:38
Speaker 1: To ask an open question. You be like, all right,
19:39
Speaker 1: so who's your favorite baseball player? So he's Derek Jeter.
19:42
Speaker 1: Why do you like Derek Jeter? He's good, you know
19:45
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. And it was, Yeah, it's one
19:48
Speaker 1: of those deals. And yeah, great moments in broadcasting, good
19:52
Speaker 1: knowledge by the Late Night Drug tester Daniel writes in
19:55
Speaker 1: he says, can you explain how the Lakers signing Alex
19:57
Speaker 1: Lane is broadcasting not narrow casting? Well, he's got broad
20:00
Speaker 1: shoulders and it's a story, I'm told.
20:03
Speaker 4: But Ben loves the Lakers. It's his favorite sports radio.
20:07
Speaker 1: Tells me Cooper Loop tells me that anything involving the
20:11
Speaker 1: Lakers I must talk about. They're better people. And uh,
20:15
Speaker 1: this is the next great Lakers center.
20:17
Speaker 4: From worldwide story seven seven seven footer, big big body
20:24
Speaker 4: to clog the lanes.
20:26
Speaker 1: Tremendous pick up by the Lakers. I don't know how
20:28
Speaker 1: they keep doing it. I mean, a guy averaging less
20:31
Speaker 1: than two points a game, we don't need him to score. No,
20:34
Speaker 1: you don't. He doesn't need twenty rebounds a game.
20:37
Speaker 4: What do you think we don't need him the rebound either. No,
20:40
Speaker 4: Luca averages ten rebounds a game. Lebron averages like ten
20:44
Speaker 4: rebounds a game. We're good.
20:46
Speaker 1: I cannot wait for the playoffs. When the Lakers get eliminated,
20:49
Speaker 1: they got to build the team around Luca. Ryan writes
20:55
Speaker 1: in says, are we sure that Aaron Boone was managing
20:58
Speaker 1: as the needs in the front office manage and Boone
21:02
Speaker 1: is a yes man of the nerds. I think he
21:04
Speaker 1: meant this. They said needs, but I think he met nerds. Yeah. Well,
21:07
Speaker 1: that's always been the argument for both Dave Roberts and
21:09
Speaker 1: Aaron Boone, that they are just middle managers and they
21:11
Speaker 1: just are merely repeating, merely repeating what the front office
21:14
Speaker 1: tells them to do, following them like Manchurian candidate or
21:18
Speaker 1: something like that. They're just following instructions and that's how
21:21
Speaker 1: it's going. Ferg Dog writes in from that winter wonderland
21:25
Speaker 1: in Fullerton and says, what are your final grades on
21:28
Speaker 1: the Lakers trade deadline performance? I give them a D minus.
21:31
Speaker 1: I'm not impressed. Yeah, well, it's malfeasans. The Lakers traded
21:36
Speaker 1: for a guy who's injured, and that was their big
21:38
Speaker 1: move in. They tread for a fat guy and a
21:42
Speaker 1: guy that's injured, and they had to rescind that trade.
21:45
Speaker 1: That's that's the Lakers right there. Tremendous GM worked by
21:49
Speaker 1: the Lakers. Unbelievable. We go to the phones and we'll
21:52
Speaker 1: take some calls. Here. Let's see who do we have
21:54
Speaker 1: aie miney mall. Let's say hello to Andrea, who's in
21:58
Speaker 1: Berkeley and she's got the star chart out right now,
22:01
Speaker 1: Hello Andrea.
22:02
Speaker 5: Welcome, Hello Ben.
22:04
Speaker 1: How are you the astrology lady? Is there a cosmic event?
22:08
Speaker 6: Yes?
22:08
Speaker 1: On the calendar, there is certainly is.
22:10
Speaker 5: I can tell by some of the callers. We've got
22:12
Speaker 5: a full moon going.
22:14
Speaker 1: Oh, yes, sweet moon. What kind of moon is this?
22:18
Speaker 5: You know how much we like the Farmer's Almanac.
22:21
Speaker 1: Yes, I love it.
22:22
Speaker 5: Snow moon and that makes a lot of sense. I
22:24
Speaker 5: just spoke to some friends and family in New York
22:28
Speaker 5: and it's definitely a full snow moon in February, and
22:33
Speaker 5: it's actually in Leo. The Son's in Aquarius and it
22:38
Speaker 5: is full at I believe it's five sixty five am.
22:44
Speaker 5: So when we get off the phone and the show shortly.
22:48
Speaker 1: After, Okay, we got a full moon going.
22:51
Speaker 5: So we're feeling the energies now it's on the horizon now, yes,
22:55
Speaker 5: so yeah, we got a full snow moon in Aquarius Leo,
23:01
Speaker 5: and it's called the snow moon because of obviously the weather,
23:06
Speaker 5: and it can be seen by most people, so feel
23:10
Speaker 5: free to look out the window and howl at the moon.
23:15
Speaker 5: And it rises in one of the most snowiest months
23:19
Speaker 5: in February. That's why it's called the snow moon. And
23:23
Speaker 5: it reaches its peak at five point fifty five am,
23:28
Speaker 5: so soon enough, and it's just really a.
23:33
Speaker 1: Snow moon and it's awesome. All right. Well, yes, we
23:38
Speaker 1: have the snow moon going on, and then there's always
23:41
Speaker 1: crazier callers when there's a full moon. And as you
23:44
Speaker 1: pointed out, Andrea, it's not just the night of the
23:46
Speaker 1: full moon. It's a couple of days before and a
23:48
Speaker 1: couple of days after. It's a whole week of fun, exactly.
23:51
Speaker 5: I always liking it to a cold you feel it
23:53
Speaker 5: about two days before the day of and about two
23:56
Speaker 5: days after.
23:58
Speaker 1: There you go, all right, well, thank you, Andrea. I
24:01
Speaker 1: appreciate that. The virgo in service on actually want to
24:03
Speaker 1: say hello to Andrea. She's got all the star charts
24:06

24:09
Speaker 1: times a year, and she's a big supporter of the show,
24:12
Speaker 1: big friend of the show, and obviously very into the
24:15
Speaker 1: cosmic events. Our friend Andrea checking in, so I wanted
24:20
Speaker 1: to go back to the dog show because we had
24:22
Speaker 1: to cut this off because we ran into a hard
24:25
Speaker 1: network out at the top of the hours, they say
24:27
Speaker 1: in the business, so why don't we play this again.
24:30
Speaker 1: This is the biggest event in the dog world. I mean,
24:33
Speaker 1: this is the night for the dogs. And it was
24:37
Speaker 1: the Westminster Dog Show in midtown Manhattan there and they
24:42
Speaker 1: announced the winners best in Show, Best in This is
24:48
Speaker 1: the highest honor, the highest honor a dog can win

Speaker 1: again if you missed it earlier, let's play the whole thing.

25:05
Speaker 1: Chris Myers. He had the play by play on FS one.

Speaker 1: much more competitive than the super Bowl. But listen to

26:18
Speaker 1: and congratulations to the full Monty the giant Schnauzer.
26:22
Speaker 3: You know when they say giant, Ben, it makes me
26:25
Speaker 3: think of like a giant sloth.
26:28
Speaker 1: No, it's not a giant. I thought the sheep dog
26:31
Speaker 1: was bigger than this dog.
26:32
Speaker 3: That sheep dog was beautiful.
26:33
Speaker 1: The sheep dog we saw the other day yesterday, I
26:35
Speaker 1: think it was. That was a good looking dog. That
26:38
Speaker 1: was like a mop, like a mop with legs. It's beautiful. Yeah,
26:43
Speaker 1: just a good looking schnauzer. But I'm biased. I like
26:45
Speaker 1: the bulldog, the English bulldog. That's my dog. I'm biased
26:49
Speaker 1: that I like the shitsu, but I don't like I
26:51
Speaker 1: don't not like the shitsho's in the dog show because
26:54
Speaker 1: they're all dulled up, and I don't I don't like that.
26:56
Speaker 1: You know, that's not my dog, Bella, who died a
27:00
Speaker 1: couple of years ago. But Bella was disheveled, Bella was frazzled.
27:05
Speaker 1: That's to me how shitshu should look. Not all dressed up.
27:11
Speaker 1: And they look like they've had a tough night out.
27:14
Speaker 1: They've been out all night, all week, they haven't slept.
27:16
Speaker 1: That's the kind of dog I want, not one of
27:18
Speaker 1: these all fool food dogs and all that. And so
27:21
Speaker 1: they mess up the ships who's and the dog shops?
27:23
Speaker 1: Bad job by them. But the giant shower Snauzer, that's fine.
27:27
Speaker 1: It's okay. Now who finished in second? Do we know
27:30
Speaker 1: who finished in second?
27:31
Speaker 6: And that?
27:32
Speaker 1: Do we know?
27:32
Speaker 3: But now I'm curious on who our top dogs are.
27:34
Speaker 1: Let me check, all right, we'll get to the bottom
27:37
Speaker 1: of that there because there's many different groups there. There
27:40
Speaker 1: was the Bourbon the whipp It whipp It Good was
27:45
Speaker 1: the winner of reserve best in Show. That was the
27:50
Speaker 1: backup I guess best in Show, mister Whippett. So congratulations
27:55
Speaker 1: to the whip it. It's a wonderful name for a dog.
27:59
Speaker 1: Absolutely wonderful name.
28:00
Speaker 3: Isn't that what people do out of the writer?
28:03
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, it's a family show. There's a lot of
28:06
Speaker 1: people listening right now. In family. Let's go out to
28:09
Speaker 1: the phones and we'll say hello to he's got a
28:13
Speaker 1: weed man hippie. I'm gonna do a wellness check on

Speaker 1: Weed Man? Do you need a new phone?
29:00
Speaker 5: Every good?
29:01
Speaker 1: Nah, you don't sound very good. I'll hear you all right.
29:08
Speaker 6: Yeah, Past mahon drew in that day.
29:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh we made did you see while I have
29:13
Speaker 1: you on the phone, did you see the f around
29:15
Speaker 1: and find out story, CJ. You know who CJ. Gardner
29:19
Speaker 1: Johnson is, no, you don't. You have no idea, You
29:22
Speaker 1: have no idea. So he's a football players, a big
29:24
Speaker 1: football player for the Philadelphia Eagles, right. The guy is
29:26
Speaker 1: a big trash talking guy and the Eagles domaged you
29:30
Speaker 1: know dominated we know that in the Super Bowl. And so, uh,
29:35
Speaker 1: this guy decided to unload on Taylor Swift and and
29:41
Speaker 1: took some shots. Wow, and uh and whatnot c J.
29:45
Speaker 1: Gardner Johnson. So it's uh, yeah, yeah, yeah, it goes
29:50
Speaker 1: by the the name c D. Deuce is a nickname there.
29:54
Speaker 1: But on on Instagram, c J. Gardner Johnson, Uh, he
29:59
Speaker 1: referenced one of tras Travis Kelsey's like ex girlfriends, and
30:03
Speaker 1: he made a comment that he should have stayed with
30:08
Speaker 1: that thick blank is what he said there. He apparently
30:14
Speaker 1: Kelsey's former girlfriend had a big caboose and CJ said
30:19
Speaker 1: that Kelsey should have stayed with her and not Taylor
30:25
Speaker 1: swib anyway, and there were some other stuff. But the
30:27
Speaker 1: reason I'm bringing this up is because the Taylor Swift
30:30
Speaker 1: marching in chatter society became unhinged and they have weaponized
30:36
Speaker 1: they have formed Voltron, and they found out that CJ.
30:39
Speaker 1: Gardner Johnson's mother has a restaurant, and so they have
30:44
Speaker 1: been attacking online the restaurant, writing fake reviews about how
30:49
Speaker 1: terrible the restaurant is. They've I guess called authorities to
30:52
Speaker 1: try to get cops out there, ice or whatever to
30:55
Speaker 1: the restaurant. It's like a whole big mess. Yeah, how
30:59
Speaker 1: about that. It's the restaurants in in Florida, Rockledge Florida,
31:03
Speaker 1: which I don't think is near. You right, you're not
31:05
Speaker 1: your Rockledge Florida, are you? No? I know you're not.
31:09
Speaker 1: You're not there. But they've been giving it a bunch
31:11
Speaker 1: of one star reviews saying the service is bad. And uh,
31:16
Speaker 1: they've been webinars that don't mess with the Swifties. The
31:20
Speaker 1: Swifties are not happy. They are not happy. So anyway, okay, jokes,
31:28
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, sending Joe lame jokes are coming up. Lame
31:31
