• 2:36
  Speaker 1: from Compton, a loyal minion of the show. He was
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: at home depot and he said, man I thought of
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: the show. I was at home deepot I said, the
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: reason you thought of the show is because we love
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: our friends at home Depot and you should upgrade your
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: FIFA World Cup twenty twenty six. Set up, build it
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: like Beckham from living room to lawn with the home Depot.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Now the World Cup, bunch of games of flurry of activity.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Mexico Mexico with a three to nothing win in Group A.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: You had South Africa beating Korea one nothing. Also Morocco
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: doubled up Haiti four to two. You had Brazil take
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: down Scotland three to nothing among the games. And also
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Switzerland took out the Canadians to one that was in
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Group B, and Bosnia Herzegovina with a three to one
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: win in their games. So some of the action there
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: at the World Cup. You can see all of these
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: games on Fox one. The excitement of the FIFA World
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Cup is now streaming live on Fox one, the official
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: English streaming platform, to catch every unforgettable moment. I know
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: what pe Pie Blairs excited, Rick and Maryland just said.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Ben morning time is what he said. Even Tammy in
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Vegas heaven from Tammy and Wai, but she's excited as well.
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: Hi.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Fox one Hi, Timmy. Fox one brings the action straight
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: to your screen, so you never miss a goal. Download

  Speaker 1: Fox one and experience the FIFA World Cup. Yeah, and
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: oh wait a minute, is it a bird? Is it
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: a plane? No? It's Terry in England who said, let
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: the good lads there Ben know about Express. I said,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: yes I will. If you're skilled in manufacturing, skip the
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: online job search nightmare. Express Employment professionals connect skilled machinists,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: welders and technicians with contract in full time manufacturing jobs.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: We'll get back to the commercials. We pause the commercials
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: now for the show. We'll get back to that coming
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: up in a little bit. We have a good live
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: read for DraftKings a few minutes away, so I'm excited
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: about that. We'd like to alert all the affiliates down
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: the line. A good live Draft Kings read. That's a
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: full sixty. However, there's so much legal ease in those
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Draftking spots. It's only about fifteen seconds, but it'll sound
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: like sixty. It'll sound six, which is really really good.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: So I lead this hour from San Francisco. That's right,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: beautiful great ballparks in all the land. What a masterpiece,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: A modern masterpiece. Right there with McCovey cove on one side,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: you've got the skyline of San Francisco on the other side,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: just picturesque. Try to avoid the people that are peeing
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: and pooping on the street. The rest of it's just wonderful,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: just absolutely freaking great in San Francisco. So we have
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: a follow up to the fall now that we're not
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: gonna talk about the game last night the Giants did.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: They were getting shut out. They had two home runs,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: including Rafael Devers a game tying home run of the
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: ninth and then some guy have never heard of a
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: rookie hit a game winning home run against the team
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: formerly known as the Oakland Athletics. Now they're just the Athletics.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: There are a bunch of orphans. So that that happened
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: last night. Now, prior to that, we have more on
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: the aforementioned Giants first baseman Rafael Devers slash DH waving
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: off the pinch runner in a close situation the other
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: day in Miami. This sparked a massive blowback, significant backlash
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: for the breach of baseball decorum, and a number of
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: former players came out. They wanted blood, they were upset.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: How dare you how dare you now? Devers was forced
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: into apology. I don't think he apologized in his own
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: He apologized and well, now we have somebody running to
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: defend Rafield. Now, how could you possibly defend Rafaeld Devers
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: hall of famer has now entered the chat. Do you
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: see this? Do you hear about this?
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: No?
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Maybe not all right? So Turner Sports analysts Pedro Martinez,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: the former Dodger. Pedro Martinez ran to defend his fellow Dominican,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: his fellow countryman, and he was like, well, how can
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: you possibly defend Devers for what he did? Now? Here's
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: what Pedro Martinez at ten to do. He framed it
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: as a miscommunication rather than defiance by Rafael Devers, even
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: though every man, woman and child who knows what happens said, well,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: that's defiance, that's not that's not miscommunication. Now, Pedro waxing
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: loquacious in front of dozens on Turner Sports, he whacked
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: loquacious and waxed loquacious and said that Devs. He said
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: the issue was Devs does not speak English fluently and
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: translators can sometimes miss interpret his words. Devers was likely,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: according to Pedro, trying to convey that he felt fine
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: and wanted to stay in the game. Pedro Martinez also
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: noting that Devers loves being in the game, and he said,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: but can sometimes be in La la land, Pedro said,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: regarding the rules and game situation. So that is a
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question, how
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: does Pedro Martinez Hall of Fame pitcher and his use
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: of the language barrier defense for the Giants malcontent Rafael Devers?
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Does that work for you? How does that work for you?
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: So I've got diplomatic immunity, roadside billboard and family hardware store,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: and we will tiptoe through the tulips and we're gonna
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: go make some Dino nuggets, is what we're gonna make.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: So first of all, Pedro Martinez sprinting in like he's
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: got one of those blue things on his helmet, like
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: he's from the United Nations, and he's like a translator
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: from the United Nations. There instead of a baseball analyst,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: this is Hall of Fame level. Spin spin Spin, Spin, spin,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: spin spin, the baseball version of listen my phone auto
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: corrected my attitude on that text. I would never have
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: called you an a hole and a schmuck. I would
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: never have done that. Bravo for even thinking you could
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: could get away with this, Like Pedro must think the
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: people to watch TBS are country bumpkins, Like you're all
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: a bunch of morons who watch PBA or TBS on
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: PBS too, but TBS. Pedro must believe that Martinez went
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: full diplomatic immunity on this one. He played the Dominican
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: card from the bottom of the deck, all right, and
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: essentially he's Dominican. I'm Dominican, therefore he must be innocent.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: That's essentially what he said, calling it a miscommunication. And sure,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: I am miscommunicating. When I lose a bet and throw
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: my remote control against the wall and it breaks into
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: a thousand pieces, it is amazing. It is amazing how
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: the English gets very fuzzy when Rafael Devers is yelling
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: and waving, waving off a pinch runner that he is
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: like he's directing traffic. He's like a traffic cop out
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: in the intersection. All right, you go this way, you
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: go this way, and I'll go over here. I'm gonna
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: go over here. You back, get out of here, get
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: out of here. And that's the part of this. It
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: makes me wonder whether Pedro even saw the play. Like
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: there's you could say the language is an issue. However,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: the body language is a universal thing. I don't care
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: whether you're from Dominican Republic or Japan or the Middle
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: East or wherever you're from. That that is a universal language,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: like the emoji. That body language is universal. It just is.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: And the body language was bad, bad, bad bad. But
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: and now I did appreciate Pedro Martinez saying that Rafaeld
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: Devers just drifts in to La la land. That is
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: the nicest way ever to slam someone. It's just when
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: you say he drifts in the latland, you're saying he
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: doesn't pay attention. He's a low IQ baseball player. He
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: has absolutely no idea how to play the game of baseball.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: Probably that's essentially what was said about Devers by Pedro.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: When you say he's in La la land, that he
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: drifts into La la land. That's how I interpreted it.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: You my decoder ring, all right, So I thought that
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: was hilarious, the ultimate backhanded compliment, you know, as he
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: drifts into La la land. Sure in the game.
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: Pedro Martinez also forgot to mention the part where Devers
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: knew the camera was on him, and still, as we
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: said in a previous episode of the show, went full
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: Samuel L. Jackson with the finger wagging situation. So trying
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: to turn a full blown temper tantrum into some kind
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: of charming cultural misunderstanding, nice tried, Patro, I give it
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: an a for effort. Unfortunately, saw wing bada, saw wing bada,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: saw wing in a miss. All right. Meanwhile, we go
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: to New York where the Mets suck and it's just great.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: Another optimistic offseason for the Mets, so that he'd lose
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: some popular players. The idea was that they had the
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: smartest people on the front office. They were going to
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: figure things out. They had built the team around Juan
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: Soto and Francisco Then, so Lindor back. Of course, his
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: first act, he makes an error. New York ended up
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: getting swept in a day night doubleheader against the Cubbies,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: and the Natives were restless. The Metropolitans continue to do
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: the limbo how low can you go? Now we learned
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: that the Mets manager Carlos Mendoza is he's moving, and
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: the Metro moving. The struggling starting pitcher CODEI Senga, CODEI Senga,
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: He's going to the bullpen following another horrific outing. In
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: seven starts this year, Senga has an zero to six
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: record and an era of over ten. He has been
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: given atomic wedgies every time out My God and the
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: whippity Whip, the walks hits innings pitched one point nine
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: to two in just twenty seven and two thirds innings
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: for KODEI Senga. All I give you all kinds of numbers.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: Those don't really work on radio. You can't pay that
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: close attention.
• 13:02
  Speaker 6: He's just been bad, bad to the bone, bad bad,
• 13:06
  Speaker 6: bad bad bad bad bad, but bad. So Carlos Mendoza,
• 13:10
  Speaker 6: how did he keep his job? What are you doing anyway?
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Mendoza claimed, for now the manager of the Mets. He
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: put his finger in the wind and saw which direction
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: it was going, said Code I Sango would work as
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: a multi inning reliever or in high leverage spots, and
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: is trying to simplify things, which is code for nothing's working.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: We have no ideas, so we'll just put this guy
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: in the bullpen and hope nobody sees him again. So
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: the question where does Code I Sanga's demotion to the bullpen.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: Leave things with the Metropolitans. So this is just rearranging
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: the deck chairs on the Flushing Local seven train is
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: what this is, right, not the Express because the Mets
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: are not on the Express. No, no, no, They're on
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: the local t So you're gonna make every stop. The
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: Mets rotation is a pinata. The offense is worse than that,
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: and Coodei Singa is the part of the pinata that
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: already fell off. This is a fifteen million dollars a
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: year starting pitcher. Now, I know there are guys making
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: a lot more than that now in baseball. However, I'm
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: from the old country. Fifteen million dollars is a lot
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: of dumb. I know in New York. Once you pay
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: the taxes, the local and the federal taxes, you walk
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: away with fifteen dollars. Still, you start out with fifteen
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: million before you pay all your taxes, and so you
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: go from fifteen million dollar starter you're a middle reliever.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: That is not just a role change. That is a
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: forensic report. Who goofed, I've got to know now. Senga
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: is a roadside billboard advertising the newest item on the menu.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: There the Mets mushroom, as in the mushroom cloud that
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: is over flushing. Queen's there the moment when a franchise
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: already wobbling, wobble, wobble wobble. It's on stilts and they
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: realize that the stilts are made out of wet cardboard.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: The falls. While the other guys go up and down
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: in their career, and some guys have sane success and
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: other guys do not, they illuminate bad stuff. But this
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: is such a dovetail. It's wild, It's absolutely wow. So
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: Senga a couple of years back was a National League
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: All Star. He was on the All Star team, had
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: an ERA of under three for a full season, just
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: a couple of years back, just a couple of years back,
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: and now he has been demoted to the bullpen with
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: an earned run average of double digits from All Star
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: to All Scars. The Kodei Sanga story Great Balls of
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Fire and a Big Ball a suck. He's been so bad?
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: How bad is he been? He's been so bad that
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: when he has pitched for the Mets, he is so
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: generous and so giving and people think, well, this guy
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: must have won, like a make a wish raffle to win. Hey,
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: let's pitch against major league getters. Okay, code I Sengu's
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: thirty three. He pitches like he's fifty three, and the
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: Mets are treating him like he's eighty three, So good
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: luck on that. Senga going to the bullpen. Is the
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Mets admitting we don't have answers. We just need people
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: to phill slots. We need innings to be filled and
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: all that. And how many relief appearances as kode I
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: Senga made during his four seasons with the Mets, as
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: many as you have? And I have zero Zippo bupkis
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: squad douche no relief appearances in four years with the Metropolitans.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: And oh, by the way, there's another year on his contract.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: He's locked up Mets property till twenty twenty seven. Right,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: final thought, We go to the gateway to the West,
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: Saint Louis, Missouri, where the Cardinals they used to be good.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: They have a good record, but there used to be
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: something really special about that. They had the star dust
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: used to brag about having the greatest fans in the world. Well,
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: the fans have finally wised up. They're not going to
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: Cardinals baseball very much anymore. It's an afterthought. There's like
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: this other things to do in Saint Louis now. Anyway,
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: the Cardinals announced that what some have called I love
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: this the terminology just I mean, I love it. That's
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: why I brought this up. The only reason I brought
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: this up is because people were saying, this is a
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: major leadership change. Bill DeWitt, the Third, the son of
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: the longtime owner, has been promoted to the new CEO,
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: the chief executive officer, and he will now oversee both
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: the baseball ops and the business ops department. So the
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: question does Build the third taking over as CEO of
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: the once proud Saint Louis Cardinals count as a seismic
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: wave of change. There's a buzzer that sounded no, no,
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: it is a paper shuffle in the family scrapbook, not
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: any kind of franchise altering revolution. This is something that
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: has changed in my lifetime. The Cardinals always had great crowds.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: There was always something special about going to Bush Stadium
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: seeing the Cardinals, and it just they've been so bedraggled
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: in recent years that they've actually chased away a large
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: percentage of their customer base, which if you had said
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: that years ago, he said never possible. Never. Probably the
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: Cardinals did not change direction here. They just changed a
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: couple of letters on the door. Instead of build the Wit, Junior,
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: they're going to put build the Wit the third. So
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: three eyes right there. That's it. And it's kind of
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: like at the county Fair. They call this the same
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: snake oil with a new label. Same snake oil, new label.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: Insane us. They call it a secession plan. Welcome to EPB,
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: a state planning baseball. The Dewitz run the Cardinals like
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: a family hardware store. Bill Junior hands the keys to
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: his kid, and the customers still can't find where the
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: working power tools are and they don't understand why all
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: of the flowers in the lawn and garden section are dying.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: So Bill Junior, who currently owns the team, he's eighty four,
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: and as far as we know, he's still calling the
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: shots for the Cardinals. And so that's how this is going.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: This is not a new era. It's just a new
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: code of paint on the same old rocking chair. And
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: calling this some kind of generational shift is like calling
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: your trip to the barbershop a youth movement. Not really,
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: not really. Now, the Cardinals have been surprisingly competitive this summer.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: In fact, last week check they are leading the National
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: League wildcard race. However, nobody is showing up compared to
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: what it used to be. The magic dust they had
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: in Saint Louis has faded so badly. How badly it's
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: faded so badly. The Cardinals, who were always a top
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: five team in attendance, if not top two, top three
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: right there with the Dodgers, and the Cardinals are eighteenth
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: in attendance, eighteenth the Rockies. The Colorado Rockies have John
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: Moore fans. That is when you know the Sioux fle
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: has collapsed. That's when you know them now. I untually
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: a lot of my buddies in Denver just go out
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: there to drink, and the ballpark's nice and cores field
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: and all that. Still, though, the Cardinals, who actually have
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: a competitive team on the field this year, somehow are
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: behind the Rockies and the Angels, who also stink, but
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: they have the moms like it because it's safe in
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: Anaheim and it's cheap, So as long as they do that,
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: they'll show up up. So it's a it's crazy to
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: finish in a tennis behind the Rockies and the Angels,
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: it's like finishing behind three gas stations when you claim
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: to be a pit barbecue master. Although the greatest barbecue
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: I've ever had in my life was at a gas station.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: It was the greatest barbecue I've ever had was at
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: the barbeque place in Kansas City, Kansas City, Joe's it was.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: It was amazing. And the second greatest barbecue I've ever
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: had is at BUCkies, so side by side. So I
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: guess I should retract my statement about gas stations. It
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: is the Bane Mallor Show. If you would like to

• 24:47
  Speaker 1: And we framed it as the Mallard riddle. And every
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: once in a while someone will email, you know, not
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: a riddle. You shouldn't say it's a riddle. It's really
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: not a riddle. Okay, can you take the broomstick out
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: of you took us? Okay, thank you? Yes, right, put
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: that down, Go take a show. Here's the Mallord riddle
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: of the day. New York fans chanted for blank after
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: the Mets committed six infield errors against the Cubs. That's
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: hard to do. When I did the Dodger postgame show
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: years ago, they were not very good and they had
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: it was either six or seven errors in a game
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: against the Expos and I questioned their defense after the game,
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: and I was criticized by somebody that worked for the
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: Dodgers that said I shouldn't criticize them. Well, we made
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: six or seven or whatever it was.
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: Error.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: What do you do anyway? Donkey sausage is going with
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: ole orle le o. That's his answer. Analog Al says,
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: there's only one answer here. The New York fans were
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: chanting for Andy Petit. That's Loraina's favorite Yankee, Andy Petit.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: We learned that the other day. What else do we have?
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: Alf the ilien opiner says, they chanted cut that meat,
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: cut that meat. That was a good radio drop for
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: a number of years. And do we have that drop?
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: I don't know, we do it for years that thing
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: got played on the radio. Katara says, who's your daddy?
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: Who's your dady? Filler up, Phil says Joey, Joey, Joey.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: Eke in Roseville, Minnesota, going with the iconic. No, that's
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: not see that's that's that's me. That's not the hey ah,
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: there you go. Eeke going with Edward scissors hands as
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: his answer. Who else do we have? Let's see paid Dan,
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: that's enough to beat by the clock for the clock,
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: all about the clock. So one more time here, Lorraine,
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: here's the riddle of the day. New York fans chanted
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: for blank after the Mets committed six infield errors in
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: a game on Wednesday. They chanted for fresh cheros. Okay,
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: we cheerou. No, the correct answer would be Pete Alonzo.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: They chanted for Alonzo. You know what Pete Alonzo's nickname
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: is Lorena Pete Alfonso. Uh, well, his name is Peter A. Lonz.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: Do you think his nickname is Peter Alfonso Alfonso.
• 27:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it would be like FONSI for short.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: No, wow, okay, it's nicknamed the polar Bear. Oh yes, yeah, yeah,

  Speaker 1: the myth, the legend.
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: You know, I want to tell you something. Know you
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: talk about this Dodgers. Before I say that, I will
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: say this, talk about those taxes on this money. You know,
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: my King and Graham cost me twenty eight hundred dollars.
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: I talked to a friend of mine. She got fifty
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: thousand hers cost her fifteen thousand. And you know, there's
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: no sins. Sometimes I've been playing. Oh man, I've been
• 30:42
  Speaker 4: back to my wreck about nine years. So I've already
• 30:46
  Speaker 4: pushed in a bunch of money for the last five
• 30:49
  Speaker 4: six months, about fifteen and a half. And this running
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: old is a plan. Sometimes the hell it goes all
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: back to the state for their taxes. I mean, what
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: the hell? You know, main you get these players making
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: all this big money. If someone pants a big some
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: big taxes, you kind of get tired to keep giving
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: the taxes. And you're driving around a two point five
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: million dollar limousine for the president. It it kind of
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: wonders sometimes, what the hell is going on? Ben?
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: You know, are you saying that we pay a little
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: too much in taxes? Is that your point, sir? Scratch.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: I don't anyone that would disagree with you on that.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: I don't know anyone that would say, hey, that's a
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: bad take. I think everyone would agree, which is great.
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: One of the reasons that the US was founded way
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: back in the day was because of taxation, and taxes
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: were too high. And when the US started low tax
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: I don't need to get on my soapbox. Let's just
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: say things have gotten a little out of control, a
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: little out of control.
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: It's just a mess up deal, you know. But anyway,
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: let's go to say looks and it's good talkie again
• 31:49
  Speaker 4: and Maria, I will tell you something, Raya, you've got
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: a beautiful daughter. I don't know what. She's four or
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: five years old, but I've seen a bunch of y'all's
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: pictures where y'all get together.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: I think I think she's older than that. Older than that.
• 31:59
  Speaker 7: Yeah, something else started old photos, but thank you?
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, no, So what did she like six or
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: seven years old?
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: Then she's thirty seven.
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm just I've never been to the Rain. I
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: like I like her better than the other three or
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: four I marry. It seems like a nice person.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: But anyway, that's just just that's the ultimate like backhanded shot,
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: Like you just like ripped every other person. I like Lorena.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: Those other ones are losers. But Lorena, Yeah, that more.
• 32:26

  Speaker 1: Now you're now you're bragging. Now you're just praying.
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: Oh no, I'm just saying you pray.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: You're bragging. You know, I thought you would called up
