• 5:32
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Anyway, I lead this hour from the trade founder, the
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: trade farder. So we have a media battle royale, a
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: brew ha ha that has developed over a trade room,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: not a trade, not actual trade, a trade roomer. Captain
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Cranky aka the little Guy Ken Rosenthal is pushing back
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: on Mike francessa boy, a couple of egomaniacs who are
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: involved in this.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Mike Francessa's claimed recently the Mets will not just be
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: shopping Francisco indoor. There will be aggressively shopping Francisco indoor
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: before the early August trade deadline. I don't know if
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: you saw this or not. I just love when these
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: people that have enormous egos get into these type of situations.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: I freaking love it. So Mike Francessa, the legend from
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Mike and the Mad Dog all those years, and he's
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: doing some podcasts nobody listens to other than Funhouse. But anyway,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Francessa claimed that the Mets are not just listening to offers,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: but are actively trying quote very very hard to trade
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: the malcontent Francisco Indoor in the coming weeks here before
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: the trade deadline. Now, he claimed, was all tied together
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: because Juan Soto and Lindor are at loggerheads. They're not buddies.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: They don't like each other, even though Steve Cohen said, yes,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: they don't like each other. However, they've they've been better
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: this year. And Frances Clamba Oho, the Mets are just
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: gonna build around Sodo and they'll bring some other guys in.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: They're gonna change it up and all that. And Rosenthal
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: shot back on his podcast Nobody Listens To and he
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: condemn Mike Francessa, saying that he's not a beat reporter.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Oh god, this is so freaking good. God. I love
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: that Rosenthal is dying on this mountain. It is so great.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: It is awesome. I'll tell you in a minute. So
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Rosenthal's claim over Frances is not a beat writer and
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: that he said, I haven't heard anything from the real
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: beat writers. So that is a good jumping off point.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Let us discuss the question whose side are you on
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: in this media brew haha over the future of the
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Mets star Francisco Lindor. So, I've got Cooma, Sweet Green
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: and Kennon Ball, and we'll combine all of these things
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: together and we are going to make a juicy Lucy
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: for hollering James. That's what we're gonna do. But we
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: always start with number. What umber? What number? What number?
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: What funing number?
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: Number?
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: All right?
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: So I am siding with the Pope, Mike Francesa, the
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: sports pope. There, gas bag, blowhard, know it all Mike
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Francesa on this one. It's not even close. It's not
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: even close. Ken Rosenthal, the curmudgeon, is out here gatekeeping.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: Rosenthal's gatekeeping MLB rumors like it's nineteen ninety five. This
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: is the kind of bull crap I had to deal
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: with these baseball writers when I started years ago. They
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: still control the Hall of Fame vote. These a holes. Okay,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: there is no one in the media that thinks they're
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: more important than the baseball writer. It is fast. And
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Rosenthal's from the old Country, so he's been around a
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: long time and all that. But there's a bunch of
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: guys like him that are still hanging on here, and
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: they act like it's the mid nineties. They clutch their
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: rolodex and they worship their fellow Beat reporter there and that,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: of course, the newspaper industry died. Apparently nobody told Rosenthal
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: he hasn't worked at a newspaper in years. I know
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: the Athletic was bought by the New York Times, but
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: they Athletic is something different. Anyway. The point of all
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: this is most newspapers have died a very slow, painful
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: death around Rosenthal. And when you say he's not a
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: beat writer, you've lost the argument, Bozo you have and
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: you serenaded Mike francessa. So please, somebody let Rosenthal know
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: to wake up from his coma. Right, come on, Ken,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: it's the nineteen nineties. Just called, They say, hey, you
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: want the information hierarchy back. We'd like to have it back,
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: the Beat reporter. Let's talk about that. These guys at
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: this point are glorified stenographers. Right. They rewrite team press
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: releases and memos and tech sent by agents, that's what
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: they do. And they'll put a nice polite quote in
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: there and get that maybe after the game. Of course,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: they don't even do that. Much anymore. Their access, the
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: beat writer's access is mostly controlled through leaks. They are
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: the useful idiots, the baseball writers, and the small talk
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: in the locker room. And that access has even been
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: eliminated and mostly eliminated over the years. Back in the
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: old days, used to hang out in the locker room
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: all the time, and now they limit the time you
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: can be in there. But the real information flow these
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: days the people that are in the know, the radio guy,
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: the connected podcast guy, the insider is not the beat
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: writer that is not the insider. And like Francessa, who
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: has been around it around the New York sports I
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: know he spends a lot of his time in Florida
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: these days, but nonetheless decades in New York. And is
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: it likely or unlikely that he's got a direct pipeline
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: to Steve cohen Is it likely or unlikely that Steve
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: cohen A met Fanboy, loved Mike and the mad Dog
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: and couldn't maybe know Mike Francessa. Could it be true
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: in real life? And could they have had some conversations?
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: And is it possible that Francessa might have something I
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: don't know some beat writer wouldn't have so ridiculous, so
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: so ridiculous. And it's like Roseald, He's waiting for three
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: Beat writers to confirm a story on Twitter. Well, it's
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: not Twitter anymore, it's called X. The game has changed,
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: the game has changed, and hiding behind the I haven't
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: heard it from the Beat guys is just elitist copium
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: is what that is. It's an outdated model that Rosenthal
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: is doing. He's just trying to disrespect and this is
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: what Rosenholt done for years. It's not new, but he's
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: trying to disrespect Mike Francessa and the Beat guys often
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: and even the national writers are often compromised because they're inside.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: They think they're part of the teams. They do these dummies.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: They think they're part of the teams. And you get
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: too close and you don't want to hurt your friend's feelings,
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: you know, don't want to do that. So it gets
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: very uncomfortable, and there's certain lines that can't be crossed
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: because of that, like, for example, the clear disfunction in
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: the Mets clubhouse, and Francessa was like the first guy
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: to report that Lindor and Soto orchestrated behind the scenes
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: the departure of Pete Alonzo and Brandon Nimmo and Munch
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: of these other guys that were popular players of the Mets,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: and the guys that replace them have all either sucked
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: or they blow the guys the Mets bought in. So
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: it's not like Francessa's some random dude you've never heard
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: of who doesn't know anybody. His nickname is the sports Pope,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: that's it. And he's been right on a lot of
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: these things. So I trust him. Not that I think
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: he's a nice dude either. I think I've heard he's
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: a complete schmuck. Also got schmuck versus schmuck all right now,
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: page dude to New York we go where Bob Bashitt,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: who's now with the Mets and he's longtime Blue Jay,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: was in the World Series against the Doyers, that classic
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: World Series and signed with the Mets, and he talked
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: recently if you saw this or not, as his name
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: has popped up in the trade hopper, and there's a
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: lot of chatter that Boba Schet's going to be moved
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: by the Metropolitans roster teardown. If you want a Met,
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: you can get a Met and will the last New
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: York Met player left, which will be Juan Soto? Will
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: they please turn out the light? Yeah? All right? Anyway,
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: so he's got a very unique contract because he's got
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: opt out, opt out, opt out, opt out, opt out,
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: all over the high salary, lots of escape patches. He's
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: got a no trade clause, Bobashet, which complicates some things. Now.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: Bashett recently addressed his no trade protection. Here's the quote,
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: this is what we call the money quote kids, Bobachhet said, quote,
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: I came to New York to win. The no trade
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: clause is there for a reason, and I'm just leaving
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: it at that close. Quote. All right, question, how do
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: you decode? How do you decode New York Mets infielder
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: Bobashett and his vague answer when asked about his no
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: trade clause as we inch closer to the trade deadline, So, Bobachhett,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: his little presser was passive aggressive theater is what it was. Right.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: He claims he came to New York to win, which
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: is complete and total hogwall capital H, complete and total
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: hogwash capital H. The Mets offered him a sweetheart deal
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: by all accounts, Bobaschett was lined up to go to
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: Philadelphia and choke on a cheese steak. And then at
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: the very final minute, when the Mets lost out on
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: Kyle I Suck Tucker, who's now at the Dodgers, the
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: Mets pivoted to Bobaschet and they said, Okay, we got
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: we got caught with our pants down. We don't want
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: to get a full of tomic wedgie from the fans,
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: so we're going to sign you. So they give him
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: a three year contract for one hundred and twenty six million.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: And that is the reason and the only reason that
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: Bobachet is a Met. He didn't want to play for
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: the Mets. Nobody wants to play for the Mets. They
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: got to overpay for everybody. Otherwise, you want to play
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: for the Mets. Why we want to play for the Mets.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: They suck every year. They suck. Anyway, right now, Bobachett,
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: who said, hey, I came to New York to win,
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: he said, the New York Mets are in the sewer.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: They're hanging out with a teenage mutant Ninja Turtles in
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: the sewer of the National League East. They're right there
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: in the basement, and there's some flooding. It sounds like
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: it sounds like there might be something gurgling up, possibly
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: some sulfur, might be some urine, some pooh. It's not good.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: It's not good. So he went there. The Mets offered
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: him the deal, and the Mets are gonna be holding
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: a bonfire coming up at the trade deadline. Not a
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: Pennant race, Not a pennant race, a bonfire, and Bobershet
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: clutching his no trade clause like it's his blanky, his
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: security blanket, while giving the most obvious wink wink answer,
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: I'm just leaving it at that to the media. So
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: let's let's go to the Mallard Dakota Ring. Bolberschett's message.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: Here's what it actually means. It's it's a subliminal message
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: to the Mets. The message is trade me, bro, But
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: make it look like it was your idea. Make it
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: look like, well, how does that work? You got a
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: no trade clat Just make it look like it's your idea.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: That's it. He doesn't, He's not, but Chet's not go.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: Bobachet's highly unlikely he's gonna stay with the Mets, right,
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: He's pretty much finished. The Mets are terrible, and he'll
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: likely opt out because he's not real happy there. And
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: if you figure some other dumb team will give me
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: even more money, so he's done. Ski's there, could put
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: fan too, all of that, and yet he's two chicken,
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: black block chicken to say outright, hiding behind the noble
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: sounding sweet green word salad and winning. No, I'm here
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: to win and all this, and you're, well, I don't
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: know about that. And what he wants is his hand
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: picked team, right, and you look around who would who
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: would be in the market for Bobachett at the trade deadline? Well,
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: unfortunately for the Mets, it's two National League's teams, the
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: Atlanta Braves and the Philadelphia Phillies, who wanted him originally
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: and seemingly would find a way to put him even
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: though they're seemingly stacked. They would find a way to
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: put Bashett on the roster, and then met Toronto. Toronto's
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: like not good. The American League's terrible, So no one's
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: really that far out of it in the American League,
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: and so you can see a home coming there, all right,
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: final point to the round mound of rebound. Charles Barkley
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: filling up the content machine. Sir Charles revealed that he
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: was invited to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey's wedding. However,
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: he declined. Barkley chose not to go. Did he have work?
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: Now?
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: Ryan Seacrest was invited for some reason. I don't know
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: what that's about. He he chose not to go out
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: he had he had work anyway, Barkley, in a recent
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: sports radio appearance in Philly, explained his reasoning. So what
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: was Charles Barkley's reasoning for not going? He said, he
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: generally avoids weddings and funerals, and he just thought the
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: event would be overwhelming. Now, the wedding thing, I kind
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: of get the funeral thing. That's a good mitch. You
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: should go to funerals. But anyway, not that nobody likes
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: going to those things, but it's important. So Barkley said, quote,
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: I don't go to weddings or funerals, but I did
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: get an invite and I politely declined, Barkley said, because
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: I thought it was going to be a crap show.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: Barkley said, he said, quote I love Travis and Jason,
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: meaning the Kelsey brothers and I've only met Taylor one time.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: He's imagine getting invited to that wedding. You've only met
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: her one wow. Anyway, but Barkley said, that's just too much.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: I just want to hang out and play golf. I
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: don't want to dress up and all that other stuff.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: He said, But I appreciate the invitation. It was pretty special.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: Clotes quote all right, So the question did Charles Barkley
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: make a bold move or a boneheaded move by skipping
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: the Taylor Swift Travis Kelsey wedding at Madison Square Garden.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: So look, we get it. Yeah, I don't know any
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: dude that likes going to weddings. I don't. I have
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: yet to meet that person that's like, I want to
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: go to a wedding. The funeral thing. Also, not many
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: people I even want to go to a funeral. So
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: I understand, and I love that Barkley's like a ten
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: year old child that doesn't want to get dressed up.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: I think that's great. I think that's just outstanding. And
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: you'd rather be out there on the golf course drinking
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: beers and betting and all that. Despite that, though, Charles,
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: this was not a wedding. See and you said in
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: your quote there, you said you didn't want to go
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: because you thought it was gonna be a crap show.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: That's the reason you go. That's the reason you go
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: to that is because it is and was a crap show.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: It was a damn circus. The clips that I've seen,
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: you missed the greatest show on Earth right there. You
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: turn down a front row seat to the ultimate clown
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: show of twenty twenty six. The Taylor Swift Travis Kelsey
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: wedding at Madison Square Garden, Midtown. You had the ring
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: master Adam Sandler there officiating. I'm told they raffled off
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: Cardier watches, Chanelle bags were also raffled off the exact
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: Chevelle they wrote in on their first date. All of
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: this stuff, it's insane. This was not a ceremony. This
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: was a freak show. And you had a ticket to
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: the freak show. Charles, And remember what do we always say,
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: Life's all about the stories? It is. It's the stories
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: you pick up and the people you meet, the places
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: you go. That's what life's about. Right, Yeah, limited time
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: and it's over before you know it. So pick up
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: as many stories as you can't. The stories you would
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: have gotten at this event. You could have been telling
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: these stories for the next fifteen years. Absolute go, do
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: you imagine the story? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. So
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: I was. I was at the wedding and I saw
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: like Stevie Nicks and Paul McCarthy and they were getting
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: pies in the face from clowns and then Mahome and
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: that Simone Biles that I'm still getting middle aged women
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: upset with me because of that Netflix documentary. They dodged
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: the human cannon ball that almost hit them, Like, imagine
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: the stuff that took place there. Instead of hiding from
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: the chaos you got, you gotta lean into it, Charles.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, come on, now, you go there. It's a
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: freaking human zoo. Well New York anyway is a human zoo,
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: but Madison Square Garden. But this is a special kind
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: of zoo. It's an elite at zoo. All these people
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: that think they're special, they're better than you, and I know,
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: the elites of society. They go to this and you
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: could have been there, and you're gonna mock them and
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: all that. And you know, they probably had some trapeze artists,
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: some jugglers. How about the people that are complaining they
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: didn't get invited. I laugh at those people too. But
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: if I got invited, I got invited, I would have gone.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: And how it's so digital like Barkley. It sounds like
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: he's hung out with Jason Kelcey like they they're buddies,
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: and because Philadelphia and all that, and probably had beers
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: and whatnot. I bet you he didn't know Travis Kelcey
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: that well. And he said he's only met Taylor's one time,
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: so it's very odd. I'd love to have been a
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: fly in the room when they just said, who are
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: we gonna invite to this thing? Who?
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: Oh?
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: I like that Dean Blandino guy on TV. Let's invite
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: Dean Blandino. Yeah, we like our former morning guy Steven A. Smith.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: Let's let's bring him in. Yeah why not? Sure? Well,
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: it's actually smart because if you get invited to the wedding,
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: you can't really rip the wedding, right if you're at
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: the wedding, I don't think you're allowed to rip the
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: wedding like, so you avoid Stephen A. Smith ripping the
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: wedding because he was invited, so he's got to and
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: pretend like it was all great. It is the Ben

• 24:58
  Speaker 1: the Malard Palooz, Ah tell me? Well, so variety show.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: It's a little bit of this, a little bit of that.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: It really celebrates the talent of the overnight listener. We
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: have songs, we have comedy, we have impersonations and whatever
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: else you can come up with. We've had some great
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: acts over the years. The Boston Burper one of my
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: favorite acts. Remember the Boston Burper legend. He sold out
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: though he got married and works the day shift, and
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: so we lost the Boston Burper from the show. We'll
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: find some new acts and we were looking forward to it.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: So if you want to be part of this, it's
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: live on the air now. You can't submit a song
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: or an act prior to that, though we do recommend
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: doing it live that night. It's coming up July fifteenth
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: into the sixteenth, so that Wednesday overnight into Thursday morning,
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: and that'll be coming up next week. Next week The
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: Malor Palooza twenty twenty six. Dorko the Comedian had some hats.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: We haven't heard from him last couple of days though,
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: so I don't know if he's still doing that or not.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: But he had made some Mallard Palooza hats to celebrate
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: the event. Check it out. Oh that's a Boston burper
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: right there. Yeah.
• 26:14
  Speaker 6: I found a rock song by him too.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: Oh that's great. We've had that. We had a pig
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: swealer from Kansas. Remember the pig Swealer from Kansas. That
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: guy was pretty good too.
• 26:24
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that's the talent we need to see exactly I want.
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: There.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: Used to be a guy Letterman that was on TV
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: and he did like stupid human tricks, and we can
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: recreate that if there's a way. It's very hard to
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: do because it's radio and all we have is the
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: audio platform. We don't have the video. However, if there's
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: a way we can manipulate things and figure out these
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: really original acts, I think that would be just freaking great.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: And that's that's what we're going for. That's absolutely we're
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: going for. So we began this hour ranting and raving
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: about the baseball media battles. He got the cranky Captain
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: Cranky Rosenthal and the sports Pope Mike francessa who are
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: battling it out over Francisco Indoor, the Mets being on
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: the trade deadline, Bobachett, who gave this passive aggressive answer
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: talking about his no trade clause as the Mets are
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: actively shopping Bobachett to his preferred destination, and then Charles Barkley,
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: who said I was invited to the Taylor Swift Travis
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: Kelsey wedding. However I didn't go because I thought it
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: was going to be a crap show, which is in
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: fact the reason that you should go to that event.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: That would be why you should go to say to
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: said event. I love the guest list, though, you like
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: the fact that it made no sense at all. Yeah.
• 27:40
  Speaker 6: I actually saw an interview that she did about a
• 27:42
  Speaker 6: year ago where she was asked about her guest list,
• 27:45
  Speaker 6: and she's like, I really don't want to be stressed
• 27:46
  Speaker 6: out about it. I'm just gonna invite everybody.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: Well I guess, I mean, I don't. But you we're
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: inviting people you don't really know in real life. It's odd.
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: I don't know. It's like, what's their name?
• 27:58
  Speaker 6: Oh, yeah, I invite them just in case.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: What's their name?
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 28:01
  Speaker 6: Him in two that one.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: Too, Travis Kelsey usually plays on Sundays. He watched He
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: must Love NFL. He invited all the play by play guys,
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: the color comments, the color Tom Brady was there, Tony Romo,
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: I think Troy Aikman, like they were all there. It
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: was like hanging out and here we are. Okay. The
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: Baltimore Free Loader account rights in and says, is there
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: a more entitled bunch than baseball writers? These people expect
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: stories to be hand fed to them. They act superior
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: to everyone. They also expect a free press box meal,
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: which has disappeared, much like newspapers. So your definition of
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: schmuck applies. Oh yeah, and when I got into radio,
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: they segregated. They still had segregation in the press box.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: Oh yes, I was with the Dodgers. We were at
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: Shay's Stadium, which no longer is dist and I got
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: escorted out. I was sitting with the Dodgers traveling media
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: party because that's who I was with, and I got
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: escorted out. I said, they said it was a Jay
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: Horowitz was his name. I think he's still there. He
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: was really old then, he's probably really really old now
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: if he's still around. And uh, yeah, you got a
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: move because the press box is only for the beat writers,
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: and so they had a segregated box for the radio guys.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: And I thought, oh, I thought, well that's uh, I
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: now hate baseball writers. Don't contaminate that area exactly. I
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: was like, wow, I didn't know segregation was still the thing.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: I had no idea, but apparently it was. I So
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: I got bussed over to the radio press box and
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: then that was that was it? All right? Rudy writes
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: and says, Malor finally hit a shot, money shot. Mald
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: that's right Downtown. You're gonna have to everyone make sure
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: to save that clip fer dog Alf Mallard prop guy
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: on the YouTube video when he gets up. I absolutely
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: hit the lens perfection, Michael and Tulsa writes and he says,
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: a plus on the beginning of the Mallard model, I
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: think you were talking about minor league baseball local radio
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: station that annoys my ears every year with one hundred
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: meaningless games instead of having the NFL or Fox Sports
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: Raider or anything on instead. I wasn't necessarily talking about that,
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: but if that's what you took away from it, fine, Yeah,
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: all Bill Hoo's your Bill Wrights in he says, Ben,
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: this show tonight might qualify for a twenty twenty seven
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: La Area Emmy Award. Fingers crossed. Sadly, I have to
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: jet five am call time tomorrow for the wildly celebrated,
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: long awaited cop Rock Q and A at the Fountain
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: on Sunset and Vine. Okay, so we'll be done with you.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: Get get out of here, Mike, and New Hampshire writes,
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: and he says, godfather, he says, you've been booted off
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: the satellite channel for the World Cup. Well, Mike, here's
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: the thing. How many times do I have to say
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: iHeartRadio App, iHeartRadio App always the fallback, iHeartRadio App, iHeartRadio App.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: You go Fox Sports Radio Channel. So all you people,
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: and if you have a problem, contact serious XM's. I
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: don't make the programming. I have nothing to do with
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: the programming. We are on there and occasionally we get
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: covered up by a soccer game. However, you can always
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: hear the show on the iHeartRadio app where we are
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: not covered up. So deal with that. Let's go to
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: the phones and we'll say hello to Ross is in
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: Saint Pete. What's going on? Ross? Welcome?
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: Hey Ben, Thanks checking my call a long time listener,
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: first on caller. So, yeah, I originally want to talk
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: from baseball, but listening to some of your discussion about
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: the recent nuptials, you know, if everyone was invited, I
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: know someone who wasn't, and Chuck could have brought it
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: plus one and I think Kanye West would have been
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: a perfect plus one for the Taylor Swift weather Yeah.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, see available? Is he? Is he busy right now?
• 32:03
  Speaker 7: Is?
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: Well?
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: He just played Tampa last weekend? But yeah, could you
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: imagine him with Adam Sandler Like Michael Myers, Taylor Swift
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: does not care about poor people that either here though
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: they're originally in baseball. You know, honestly as a huge
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: race fan, and I never really liked Bobuschet when he
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: was on the Blue Jays, but and I know he's
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: not been playing up to his contract, but I think
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: they need a bat and second is kind of a
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: position up for crab. I mean, obviously, short.
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: Style, are you saying that the are you saying the
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Rays are going to pay Bobachet as long
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: as he opts out of his contract. Did they have
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: to get him to agree to opt out of his contract?
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: Because what if he opts in. What if Bobachett says, no,
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: I want to stay, I'm gonna stay in Tampa, then
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: they got to pay him fifty million a year whatever
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: he's making. I don't think they want to have I mean.
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: You know, there's gonna be a salary floor in a
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: couple of years on mine as well.
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: Getting Nah, that's not gonna happen. They will major League
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: Baseball will go out of business before there's a salary
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: cap floor. And I'll tell you why, No salary floor,
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: not a cap. No, No, I don't think it'll be
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: a floor either. And here's why, because the owners, we're
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: not gonna do a If you're not gonna do a cap,
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: we're not going to do a floor. So they why
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: would we do Why would we do a floor? You know?
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: And they'll have so many loopholes in there. Anyway, the
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: only the only way, and you listen, the only way
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: they would ever have a cap. And I've talked to
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: people in baseball, but they say, the players will say,
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: if you show us legitimately that Tampa Bay, Sacramento, Colorado,
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: all these teams are losing money and we can have
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: it verified by the Kings exactly exactly. But if you
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: if you find somebody to verify that these teams are
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: losing money, and the players will be okay, we get it.
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: But the owners will never do that because they're not
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: losing money. They're making They're not making as much as
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: the other teams, but they're making money. So they're not
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: gonna they go open out the bucks because they've been
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: lying for years.
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: Oh, I agree. I'll end with one other thing.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: Oh, this never goes well, This never goes well, This
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: never goes well.
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: All Star Game.
• 34:02
  Speaker 7: Okay, speaking of Boba Schett, the former Blue Jay, current
• 34:05
  Speaker 7: mess and the fact that the Blue Jays have dominated
• 34:10
  Speaker 7: fan voting, I mean, we're not gonna get in the
• 34:12
  Speaker 7: whole thing with that in the All Star Game.
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: But I propose a fix called the two fifths compromise.
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: The Canadian vote is only worse two fifths one.
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: There's the reason.
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: I because I like Canadians that much better.
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: Oh I love Canada. But no, you know what you
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: should do is you should have said, like, whatever the
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: exchange rate is between the dollar right at the time
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: of the voting is complete, well, that's how much the
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: percentage will be of the the All Star I love it.
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: I love it.
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: You got to do something right?
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: All right? Thank you call me again, Ross, there we go. Shockingly,
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: wasn't a newbie night, and we got a new guy
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: to call the show. Who's good by the way, Boba
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: schett On pace to hit eighteen home runs this year
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: with twenty five runs, batted in and strike out one
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: hundred and twenty seven times. That doesn't seem good. I
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: mentioned starless night. That does tie into what Ross was
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: talking about with the All Star Game, as it has
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: been revealed now that Paul's Skeins and Jacob Miseraski will
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: not be participating in the All Star Game. Does two
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: phenoms all those schemes has been roughed up recently for
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Pirates, Baseball announced some replacements. Otani is also
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: not going to pitch in the All Star Games, so
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: he's out of the All Star Game as far as
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: the pitcher is concerned. And there you go. So of
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: all the All Star games, the one that you're least
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: likely to get hurt in is the Baseball All Star Game.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: And these guys are bailing right and left, and at
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: some point there will be no All Star Games. The
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: All Star game existed when the players were making normal
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: salaries and they needed to promote the game. It is
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: a nuisance for the modern athlete. They are above it,
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: they are entitled. They do not want to participate out
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: of an abundance of caution. That is where we are
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: as a society, and we put our athletes on pedestals.
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: And that's the way it is. All right. Time now
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: for the instad trivia. Someone I've never heard of named
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: Tyler Tolbert an infield or outfield. He's playing right field
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: for the Royals last night against the Mets, but anyway,
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: he got hits in twelve consecutive plate appearances. That ties
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: the Major League Baseball record, which was last accomplished by Blank. Again,
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: Tyler Tolbert apparently plays for the Royals. He got a
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: hit in twelve consecutive play appearances over the last few days,
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: tying the MLB record, which was last accomplished by Blank.
