- 1:50Speaker 2: I know Tommy in Atlanta who's not allowed to call

- 1:55Speaker 2: that ten thousand number. I met him at the Charleston
- 1:59Speaker 2: Meet and Greet that we did a little while back
- 2:02Speaker 2: tire rac dot com the way tire buying show me.
- 2:08Speaker 1: So I've made an editorial decision.
- 2:12Speaker 2: I realized the super Bowl is on February ninth, Today
- 2:15Speaker 2: is the last day of January, and there'll be a
- 2:19Speaker 2: mass migration of media freeloaders that will be heading to
- 2:23Speaker 2: the Bayou this weekend to run up spens accounts for
- 2:29Speaker 2: the super Bowl, which will be taking place next week. Fortunately,
- 2:33Speaker 2: we are saving the company money. We will not will not.
- 2:37Speaker 2: We are not invited. We're not going to that, So
- 2:39Speaker 2: we'll be holding down the fort here at the Mothership.
- 2:42Speaker 2: So we'll talk some baseball this. I want to talk
- 2:44Speaker 2: some baseball spring training starting soon. There are a lot
- 2:49Speaker 2: of moving parts going on right now.
- 2:52Speaker 1: Before spring training, and I've been kind of plugged in
- 2:56Speaker 1: here to the grape Vine.
- 2:58Speaker 2: I want to start in San Diego, my old stopping grounds,
- 3:01Speaker 2: and Sunday you go with days before it gets going
- 3:06Speaker 2: in Arizona and Florida, the Podres find themselves in a boondoggle.
- 3:13Speaker 2: They're in a state of flux right now. And if
- 3:16Speaker 2: you haven't been paying attention, maybe not. The Friars have
- 3:20Speaker 2: been rather quiet, another quiet, saving their pennies this offseason,
- 3:27Speaker 2: but trying to do something major.
- 3:30Speaker 1: Before spring training gets going here, wheeling and dealing.
- 3:33Speaker 2: There are speculative reports saying that the Padres have been
- 3:38Speaker 2: calling teams saying, Hey, how would you like to have
- 3:41Speaker 2: the batting champion Louis Ries? You can have him. You
- 3:46Speaker 2: need a starting pitcher. How about Dylan Cees, he's pretty good.
- 3:51Speaker 2: Michael Kane you want Michael Kane. You can have Michael Kane.
- 3:56Speaker 2: You want to relief pitcher? Robert Suarez can be yours
- 4:00Speaker 2: price is right? How about Jake Croninworth. All of them
- 4:04Speaker 2: are on the trading block at this point. The franchise
- 4:09Speaker 2: charter for the Podres, who have been a playoff team
- 4:12Speaker 2: in recent years. The franchise charter is spend as little
- 4:16Speaker 2: as possible, as little as possible. So let us discuss
- 4:21Speaker 2: the question the Podreys shopping dangling Dylan Ces. Let's focus
- 4:27Speaker 2: on the pictures here, Dylan Ces and Michael King, they're
- 4:31Speaker 2: on the trading block. Can you unpack your thoughts on this?
- 4:36Speaker 2: So I've got Soapy Disco and Penny Stock, and we
- 4:44Speaker 2: will combine all of these things together and we will
- 4:46Speaker 2: try not to lose our marbles. Do you think kids
- 4:50Speaker 2: today play with marbles? Even kids that even know what
- 4:52Speaker 2: marbles are? Probably not right by mentioning marbles, I'm dating myself.
- 4:57Speaker 2: Bad job by me. Now, My first thought is the
- 5:00Speaker 2: easy explanation be while the Podreys are just giving up
- 5:02Speaker 2: because if the Dodgers are so good, they realized that
- 5:06Speaker 2: the Dodgers have this in the bag and they're not
- 5:08Speaker 2: gonna even bother competing in San Diego and that's it.
- 5:12Speaker 1: But the real story here the Podres being mandated.
- 5:16Speaker 2: They have the urge to purge the front office. There
- 5:20Speaker 2: a little Birdie told me last summer. And if you
- 5:23Speaker 2: pay close attention, if you're a historian of the show,
- 5:26Speaker 2: like Ferg Dog or Alf the Alien Opiner, who document
- 5:31Speaker 2: every single male of monologue. You probably remember this, But
- 5:34Speaker 2: a little birdie who watches a lot of baseball and
- 5:36Speaker 2: may or may not work for a baseball team told
- 5:39Speaker 2: me back in the summer of twenty twenty four that
- 5:43Speaker 2: the San Diego baseball team had made a flurry of moves.
- 5:48Speaker 2: They reworked their bullpen at the trade deadline. They made
- 5:51Speaker 2: a lot of sexy moves at the trade deadline twenty
- 5:54Speaker 2: twenty four. And the way it had been explained to me,
- 5:58Speaker 2: this was the last It's like you get told by
- 6:02Speaker 2: the doctor you only got a year to live.
- 6:05Speaker 1: You are gonna go out in a blaze of glory.
- 6:07Speaker 2: Right, You're gonna burn through all that money, and you
- 6:09Speaker 2: are just gonna live the greatest year you could possibly live,
- 6:12Speaker 2: because you know, it's lights out after that, right, lights out.
- 6:16Speaker 2: So that's essentially what's going on for the Padres here.
- 6:18Speaker 2: They made one last push to try to win a
- 6:20Speaker 2: title before they were now forced to backpedal like a
- 6:24Speaker 2: defensive back. Okay, so now we are headed into the
- 6:28Speaker 2: next chapter of the story, which is a calculated everything
- 6:34Speaker 2: must go liquidation.
- 6:35Speaker 1: Sell.
- 6:35Speaker 2: Now, this is not gonna be as bad as when
- 6:37Speaker 2: I worked in San Diego Radio and they traded the
- 6:41Speaker 2: entire team, and they had literally they had Tony Gwinn
- 6:44Speaker 2: Hall of Fame, the Great Tony Gwinn, and the eight
- 6:47Speaker 2: Dwarfs around Tony Gwinn. It will not be like that,
- 6:50Speaker 2: but it's saved safe, Save save, save safe. Save the
- 6:54Speaker 2: current projections. The Padres have spent so much in recent
- 6:58Speaker 2: years that they are four point four million dollars.
- 7:03Speaker 1: Over the dreaded luxury tax threshold.
- 7:06Speaker 2: So they are desperately trying to at least get rid
- 7:09Speaker 2: of that much, and from what I've heard, they want to.
- 7:11Speaker 1: Get way way under that number.
- 7:14Speaker 2: So why is all this happening again, It's not because
- 7:16Speaker 2: of the Dodgers. It's not you know, the Padres will
- 7:19Speaker 2: compete if they were trying. This is a tail as
- 7:24Speaker 2: old as time itself. We've all experienced. If we've been
- 7:28Speaker 2: around a while, we've experienced one of the worst things
- 7:32Speaker 2: that can happen as a sports fan. You have a
- 7:33Speaker 2: good owner and your owner crosses the pearly gates and
- 7:39Speaker 2: then it's all over. Now, sometimes it works, you get
- 7:42Speaker 2: a better owner, but oftentimes what you have happening is
- 7:46Speaker 2: what's happening now in San Diego.
- 7:47Speaker 1: And this is when life.
- 7:49Speaker 2: Imitates art, it's a little soapy fun as in a
- 7:54Speaker 2: soap opera Days.
- 7:56Speaker 1: Of Our Lives.
- 7:57Speaker 2: We have a domestic squabble out among rich people involved
- 8:03Speaker 2: in the Podres. There is an ongoing legal dispute. This
- 8:07Speaker 2: is a legal case over who gets to call the
- 8:10Speaker 2: shots for the Podres franchise. All of this because of
- 8:15Speaker 2: the untimely demise of one of the great owners. Any
- 8:20Speaker 2: fan could want Peter Sidler, who died much younger than
- 8:26Speaker 2: expected in November of twenty twenty three. So if you
- 8:29Speaker 2: get out your scorecards, get out your scorecards. Here are
- 8:33Speaker 2: the actors in this play. You've got Sheiel Schidler, that
- 8:39Speaker 2: is the widow of Peter Scheidler. As I understand it,
- 8:43Speaker 2: she filed the lawsuit that.
- 8:46Speaker 1: Was earlier here in January.
- 8:48Speaker 2: Against her husband, her dead husband's brothers, the two brothers
- 8:55Speaker 2: of Peter Sidler on who gets to call the shots
- 8:58Speaker 2: for the Potters. That a lawsuit of case using the
- 9:00Speaker 2: the two brothers, Robert and Matthew of the ducery, breaches
- 9:07Speaker 2: of trust, fraud, a bunch of big craft.
- 9:11Speaker 1: They're basically saying.
- 9:12Speaker 2: That they they were entitled as the trustee of the
- 9:17Speaker 2: will and they did not properly execute the wishes of
- 9:23Speaker 2: Peter Side. There's a lot of legal easier but that
- 9:26Speaker 2: you know, in layman's terms, that's what they're saying. So
- 9:29Speaker 2: this is going to go through the court system, and
- 9:33Speaker 2: in the meantime, since no one's really calling the shots,
- 9:37Speaker 2: the padres are going to go back as much as
- 9:39Speaker 2: they can to a shoestring budget. There's also the problem
- 9:42Speaker 2: with television in San Diego and the cable rights, and
- 9:46Speaker 2: they're not getting the money they thought they were going
- 9:47Speaker 2: to get. So there's that problem as they move forward
- 9:51Speaker 2: as well with the padres. But that's where we are.
- 9:54Speaker 2: So people in the industry in baseball are like, well,
- 9:57Speaker 2: the padres are open for business. If you need a
- 9:59Speaker 2: starting picture, you call the Potters. Now you're the Red
- 10:01Speaker 2: Sox and you want to get a nice starting pitcher
- 10:03Speaker 2: before the opening day of the baseball season, call him up,
- 10:07Speaker 2: get Dylan season.
- 10:07Speaker 1: You want Michael King, You're gonna have him.
- 10:09Speaker 2: You need a nice three hundred hitting slap hitter, Luisa
- 10:12Speaker 2: riizho On, an infielder with a little pop. Jake Croninworth
- 10:15Speaker 2: can be yours. Like all those guys are in play,
- 10:18Speaker 2: all of them all right. Meanwhile, we turn the page
- 10:22Speaker 2: on that we go to the zoo the Polar Bear plunge,
- 10:26Speaker 2: if you will, the Polar Bear plung Now we are
- 10:30Speaker 2: hearing that there is a new actor, a new actor
- 10:33Speaker 2: on the stage considering making a play for slugger Pete Alonzo.
- 10:38Speaker 1: I know you're very worried.
- 10:39Speaker 2: I know we had Angry Bill call up earlier. He's
- 10:41Speaker 2: very concerned about Pete Alnzo. The tabloid New York Post
- 10:46Speaker 2: tells us that the since Cinnati Reds, the since Cincinnati Reds,
- 10:51Speaker 2: who never spend any money on anyone, the Cincinnati Reds
- 10:56Speaker 2: are an option that they would sign Alonzo allow him
- 11:01Speaker 2: to re establish the market with a bunch of opt outs.
- 11:07Speaker 1: So how do you classify this.
- 11:10Speaker 2: Report of the Cincinnati Reds interest in Pete Alonso?
- 11:16Speaker 1: So? I have this as.
- 11:20Speaker 2: Disco, as in Panic at the Disco High Hopes, Right,
- 11:25Speaker 2: you know that song High Hold, very positive song, but
- 11:27Speaker 2: it's from Panic at Disco. This story comes from Scott
- 11:32Speaker 2: boris ghost writer, John Hayman. Right, Scott Morris's ghostwriter is
- 11:37Speaker 2: John Hyman. And it's more likely than not that and
- 11:42Speaker 2: we don't know this for sure. It just seems like
- 11:44Speaker 2: everyone says the same thing. That John Hayman sends a
- 11:47Speaker 2: copy of the story he's going to send to his
- 11:50Speaker 2: editor to what he calls mister editor. That would be
- 11:55Speaker 2: Scott Morris. But the Red Legs are a middling franchise.
- 11:58Speaker 2: Petere Alonzo, would he forty five home runs playing in
- 12:02Speaker 2: that ballpark in Cincinnati on those hot Cincinnati nights during
- 12:06Speaker 2: the summer. He did, like forty five on runs, but
- 12:09Speaker 2: he'd also be stuck in a location where he.
- 12:13Speaker 1: Wouldn't be on a good team.
- 12:14Speaker 2: And who knows, maybe maybe the Reds, you know, decide
- 12:18Speaker 2: they want to get more money and maybe it'll keep him,
- 12:20Speaker 2: but he didn't round be there.
- 12:21Speaker 1: It's like a Twilight Zone situation right now for Peed Alonzo.
- 12:26Speaker 2: Picture if you will, okay, picture if you will, a
- 12:29Speaker 2: world where you're trying to get that mega mega mega
- 12:35Speaker 2: mega money, a lot of max money, only to have
- 12:38Speaker 2: that world ruined by the fact that you're claiming a
- 12:41Speaker 2: ladder but you didn't realize the ladder is broken.
- 12:45Speaker 1: Right out of the Twilight Zone.
- 12:48Speaker 2: Now, Peter Alonzo does not sound like he wants to
- 12:51Speaker 2: go to the Mets again, that he's not interested in
- 12:55Speaker 2: being the third wheel for the Metropolitans, at least not
- 13:00Speaker 2: that price point. He doesn't seem all that excited either
- 13:03Speaker 2: about going to eat great poutine. I know it's not
- 13:06Speaker 2: as good in Toronto as it is over in Montreal,
- 13:08Speaker 2: but it's a staple of Canada art brothers and sisters
- 13:12Speaker 2: in Canada.
- 13:14Speaker 1: I think it'd be kind of cool. I like the
- 13:15Speaker 1: Blue Jays uniform.
- 13:17Speaker 2: Not that that's worth signing a contract with, but and
- 13:20Speaker 2: then you've got Scott Morris, who is putting out feelers with.
- 13:24Speaker 2: Now that we mentioned the Reds, you've got the Higantes.
- 13:27Speaker 1: Who are still in play. That's why I think is
- 13:29Speaker 1: gonna get Pete A. Lonza.
- 13:31Speaker 2: I thought before this all began, I was like, well,
- 13:33Speaker 2: the Giants make sense. They need something you gotta get.
- 13:38Speaker 2: Those tickets are not cheap, beautiful ballpark, and you can
- 13:41Speaker 2: only sell the garlic fry so much you got there's
- 13:44Speaker 2: gotta be something more there.
- 13:46Speaker 1: And so not that you're gonna win.
- 13:48Speaker 2: The National League wise, but you can get in as
- 13:50Speaker 2: a wild card team, and we know baseball weird, weird
- 13:54Speaker 2: crap happens when you just get to the playoffs. And
- 13:56Speaker 2: then the Angels have also been mentioned, so the Reds,
- 14:00Speaker 2: Yas and Angels have been mentioned, the Reds the most prominently,
- 14:05Speaker 2: and many people believe what's going on right now is
- 14:07Speaker 2: these stories are being planted in the New York Post
- 14:10Speaker 2: because it's an effort to convince and pressure use the public,
- 14:14Speaker 2: to pressure Steve Cohen to bring back the former King
- 14:19Speaker 2: of Queens, the Polar Bear, that the people that sit
- 14:22Speaker 2: in the nosebleed seats will do the bidding for Alonso
- 14:26Speaker 2: and put pressure on Steve Cohne, who's a fanboy and
- 14:29Speaker 2: bought the team. All right now, final full three time
- 14:33Speaker 2: Cy Young Winner, a guy that quit on the Los
- 14:37Speaker 2: Angeles Dodgers in the Nation League Championship Series, Matt Schurzer
- 14:42Speaker 2: trying to bounce back.
- 14:43Speaker 1: In twenty twenty five.
- 14:44Speaker 2: He has agreed to a one year contract for fifteen and.
- 14:49Speaker 1: A half million and he will be going to All Cod.
- 14:57Speaker 2: The Blue Jays. So what does mac Schurzer have left
- 15:05Speaker 2: for Toronto? What does he have left? So he is
- 15:07Speaker 2: a penny stock at this point. That could that's a
- 15:12Speaker 2: weasel word, could pay dividends down the line.
- 15:17Speaker 1: That is his redeeming quality.
- 15:19Speaker 2: He is a forty year old pitcher who has spent
- 15:22Speaker 2: more time in the injury tent in recent years than
- 15:26Speaker 2: he has on the mound. He's coming off his absolute
- 15:28Speaker 2: worst season of his career. He did not make his
- 15:34Speaker 2: Ranger debut last season until mid June. The season starts
- 15:39Speaker 2: in late March. He had surgery, had a herniated disk
- 15:44Speaker 2: make sure you say that properly, had a nerve problem
- 15:47Speaker 2: in his right arm, and then he pitched for a
- 15:51Speaker 2: little bit and then was shut down again in August
- 15:54Speaker 2: because of right shoulder fatigue.
- 15:56Speaker 1: So here's the map.
- 15:58Speaker 2: The map here's rather obvious for Toronto. And if you're
- 16:01Speaker 2: we're on in Toronto, you're Blue Jays fan. This is
- 16:03Speaker 2: kind of I think you know where I'm going with this.
- 16:06Speaker 1: Right.
- 16:06Speaker 2: The path the blueprint here for the Jays is you
- 16:10Speaker 2: coddle Schurzer and you've got to time it perfectly. It's
- 16:15Speaker 2: all about the timing of it. You're like a stuntman
- 16:18Speaker 2: trying to jump on the train. You gotta time the
- 16:20Speaker 2: jump perfectly or else you're gonna fall and you're gonna
- 16:23Speaker 2: kill yourself.
- 16:24Speaker 1: So you gotta time it.
- 16:25Speaker 2: I would not even allow Schurzer to pitch the first
- 16:28Speaker 2: month of the year. You need him cooking by the
- 16:32Speaker 2: time we get to early July, and then you trade
- 16:36Speaker 2: his old ass to a fringe contender who's thirsty for
- 16:42Speaker 2: a starting pitcher, and then you get something of value
- 16:46Speaker 2: in return. So it's really just a rental situation for
- 16:50Speaker 2: good old Max Schurzer. It is the Ben Mahlor Show.
- 16:55Speaker 2: If you would like to be part of this, you
- 16:57Speaker 2: can join us right now. The lie are open at

- 17:21Speaker 2: the mallor riddle of the day, And here is the
- 17:26Speaker 2: mallor riddle of the day, and we go to the
- 17:31Speaker 2: wacky wacky world of football where Marshawn Lynch says he

- 23:45Speaker 2: It's the mallor riddle of the day, the mallor riddle
- 23:51Speaker 2: of the day. All right, that's enough. Loree up, What
- 23:55Speaker 2: is the answer? Marshaun Lynch, former NFL player, picking Mahomes
- 24:00Speaker 2: to win the Super Bowl because of blank.
- 24:02Speaker 1: Because the power of the Swifties, ben Oh, clearly the
- 24:06Speaker 1: swift is that the answer? The swift days.
- 24:10Speaker 2: No.
- 24:12Speaker 1: Well, then fine tell me what it really is. Okay,
- 24:14Speaker 1: if you force me.
- 24:16Speaker 2: I very controlling as a woman, but here it is
- 24:19Speaker 2: that Marshaon Lynch is picking Patrick Mahomes to win the
- 24:23Speaker 2: Super Bowl because his dad gave him ass whoopings.
- 24:29Speaker 1: As a child. That's why. Yeah, according to Marshon.
- 24:36Speaker 2: He says that Mahomes is one of the last players
- 24:39Speaker 2: in the NFL that really got a belt to the ass.
- 24:43Speaker 1: That's a quote from Marshaw Lynch.
- 24:46Speaker 2: Did you get whipped by your parents.
- 24:48Speaker 1: A one time? One time?
- 24:50Speaker 2: And that's all that's all I needed of the rest
- 24:54Speaker 2: of my life. I was just threatened by.
- 24:56Speaker 1: That and not the fanny.
- 24:59Speaker 3: I feel like Marsha not right about that.
- 25:02Speaker 1: You don't think Mahomes got No, I.
- 25:04Speaker 3: Don't think he's the last one, or at least I
- 25:06Speaker 3: mean he won't be for long because we just saw
- 25:09Speaker 3: like highlight videos of Adrian Peterson's kid.
- 25:11Speaker 2: Right, Oh, lame jokes are actually a few months away.
- 25:15Speaker 1: Jokes are a few minus on you. I'm being serious.
- 25:19Speaker 2: Well, the other thing is Mahomes's dad wasn't really around
- 25:21Speaker 2: that much when he was growing up, right, because he
- 25:23Speaker 2: was playing baseball when he was a child, So how
- 25:25Speaker 2: much was his dad around anyway?
- 25:27Speaker 1: That's right, he's.
- 25:27Speaker 2: Playing for the Twins of the Mets or whatever, and
- 25:30Speaker 2: I don't know if they were all living in those
- 25:32Speaker 2: cities moving around, and I don't think they were.
- 25:35Speaker 1: Every year moving to a different team.
- 25:36Speaker 2: So I bet you there's a high percentage of NFL
- 25:40Speaker 2: players that still got their ass kicked by their parents.
- 25:43Speaker 1: I don't maybe not. I'm not how you show them
- 25:46Speaker 1: you care, Ben, you gotta beat them with a belt?
- 25:49Speaker 2: What you think most of the players in the NFL
- 25:51Speaker 2: today were born in the two thousands.
- 25:53Speaker 1: Right, they're most babies.
- 25:55Speaker 2: They're little babies, little babies, or at least let's say
- 25:58Speaker 2: it's twenty twenty five, so we'll do the math. So
- 26:01Speaker 2: even to they're thirty, that was like they only really
- 26:04Speaker 2: know the early two thousands because they were like five
- 26:05Speaker 2: years say they're born in ninety five, than they were
- 26:09Speaker 2: five years old in two thousand. So when did the
- 26:13Speaker 2: corporal punishment kind of go out of style? I think
- 26:16Speaker 2: it went out of style, like probably in the eighties
- 26:18Speaker 2: or in the early nineties, but I don't know. I
- 26:21Speaker 2: didn't document when it went out of style, but at
- 26:24Speaker 2: some point went on style. Now, speaking of the Super Bowl,
- 26:26Speaker 2: I thought this was kind of funny because it's ridiculous.
- 26:31Speaker 2: Justin Reid of the Kansas City Chiefs. Not a bad player,
- 26:37Speaker 2: all right, safety for the Chiefs. Now, he was kind
- 26:41Speaker 2: of kidding around, but I believe there's a little truth
- 26:43Speaker 2: in every joke. And he claimed that he has spent
- 26:47Speaker 2: so much money on Super Bowl tickets. The NFL players
- 26:51Speaker 2: don't get them for free. You have to pay for them,
- 26:53Speaker 2: even the teams in the Super Bowl. You just have
- 26:55Speaker 2: to pay for the tickets. But you have access to
- 26:57Speaker 2: buy them that other people don't have access to. So
- 27:00Speaker 2: he bought thirty tickets to the Super Bowl. And so
- 27:06Speaker 2: he says he's done the math, and in order to
- 27:09Speaker 2: break even, he has to they have to win the game.
- 27:14Speaker 1: So let's do some malor math. You want to do
- 27:15Speaker 1: some maler math.
- 27:17Speaker 2: Now, on the secondary market, the average ticket price is
- 27:23Speaker 2: eight thousand and seventy six dollars.
- 27:26Speaker 1: Do we know what? Do we know what the face
- 27:28Speaker 1: value price of a Super Bowl ticket is? Coop? Can
- 27:30Speaker 1: you look that up?
- 27:31Speaker 2: Face value price of a Super Bowl ticket. Let's see
- 27:35Speaker 2: if we can figure that out, because I'm pretty sure
- 27:37Speaker 2: that the players pay face value. They don't have to
- 27:39Speaker 2: buy them on me on the second right, but they
- 27:42Speaker 2: might put a cap on it. I don't know that
- 27:44Speaker 2: they allow you to buy an endless amount, even if
- 27:46Speaker 2: you're in the game.
- 27:48Speaker 1: See, what do we want to get in?
- 27:51Speaker 3: Pricing for the Super Bowl?
- 27:54Speaker 1: Is the face value? That's what? Yeah, I know the
- 27:57Speaker 1: resale prices.
- 27:57Speaker 3: Is there even such thing as face value for the
- 28:00Speaker 3: Super Bowl?
- 28:02Speaker 1: Yeah? They have to sell some at face value? Right?
- 28:04Speaker 1: Don't they sell some? You have to buy them? No?
- 28:06Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, let's see.
- 28:09Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not finding.
- 28:11Speaker 1: What do we think, like three thousand dollars or something
- 28:14Speaker 1: like that. I need a number.
- 28:15Speaker 3: Well, this says that on the secondary sites, the get
- 28:19Speaker 3: in price is between forty three hundred and forty six hundred.
- 28:25Speaker 2: So face let's try to figure out, well, I need
- 28:28Speaker 2: a number to play with you face value of a
- 28:32Speaker 2: super Bowl ticket.
- 28:33Speaker 1: Let's see here. How are we not it's not available? Huh?
- 28:38Speaker 1: Let's see here. Yeah. Yeah, it just says yeah, yeah.
- 28:40Speaker 1: It goes from you're right, So why don't we just say, oh,
- 28:44Speaker 1: here we go, here we go. Okay, this says, oh,
- 28:47Speaker 1: that's interesting.
- 28:47Speaker 3: The lowest priced seat on ticket Master, which sells face
- 28:51Speaker 3: value tickets for the NFL throughout the regular season and playoffs,
- 28:53Speaker 3: is five and ninety five before fees and section six
- 28:57Speaker 3: twenty two.
- 28:59Speaker 1: Yeah, that can't be true because any.
- 29:01Speaker 3: Ticket on sale by Ticketmaster is a verified resale.
- 29:05Speaker 2: So why don't we just say that that. Let's say
- 29:07Speaker 2: the number is twenty five hundred. What do you think
- 29:10Speaker 2: that seems like a decent number. So twenty five hundred.
- 29:13Speaker 2: You're listening to live coverage, we're doing malor math on
- 29:16Speaker 2: the air, So twenty five hundred times thirty and that
- 29:22Speaker 2: gets to seventy five thousand dollars? Isn't I correct on that?
- 29:26Speaker 2: I believe I'm correct on that.
- 29:27Speaker 1: That's right, right, that's correct, seventy five thousand. I think
- 29:30Speaker 1: I'm right there.
- 29:30Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, so let's do some more math. God, this
- 29:35Speaker 2: is my elementary school. Teachers will be so proud of me.
- 29:38Speaker 2: I'm doing malordmath.
- 29:39Speaker 3: You know who else will be proud of you?
- 29:41Speaker 1: Who's that? Oh yeah, the count. The count loves that.
- 29:47Speaker 2: So we're doing the math. We're trying to figure out
- 29:49Speaker 2: Justin Reid. He was kidding around. He said he bought
- 29:51Speaker 2: thirty tickets for the Super Bowl. The Chiefs have to
- 29:54Speaker 2: win in order to break eep. All right, So the
- 29:58Speaker 2: way this works here, the winning team the Super Bowl
- 30:02Speaker 2: gets ninety six thousand dollars each or the losing team
- 30:06Speaker 2: rather gets ninety six thousand dollars. The winning side gets
- 30:10Speaker 2: one hundred and seventy one thousand dollars every player.
- 30:15Speaker 1: Oh, they don't have to split it. Uh no, that
- 30:19Speaker 1: each that's how much each player gets. Yeah, they don't
- 30:21Speaker 1: have to split it. There's a lot of money. So
- 30:24Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 30:27Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean he must have paid more than seventy
- 30:29Speaker 2: five or he's just talking out of his tookas is
- 30:33Speaker 2: that possibility as well?
- 30:35Speaker 1: Anyway, is the Ben Malor Show.
- 30:37Speaker 2: As we are rolling through the overnight, did weed Man
