Hour 2 - Not the King · The Ben Maller Show

0:00
Speaker 1: Dinged, it's our num Bert talking bays ball. How embarrassing
0:08
Speaker 1: is it for Mets outfielder Juan Soto to not be
0:12
Speaker 1: named to the All Star roster, not by the fans,
0:15
Speaker 1: not by his contemporaries, and not by.
0:18
Speaker 2: The league office. Yikes.
0:20
Speaker 1: Also, after not speaking originally on the subject, Clayton Kershaw
0:25
Speaker 1: says that he's grateful for the quote weird but cool
0:29
Speaker 1: All Star selection as a legend pick. Can you parse
0:34
Speaker 1: the words of Clayton Kershaw on this All Star selection?
0:39
Speaker 1: Also the Orlando Magic. That's a basketball team, not a
0:43
Speaker 1: good one. The Orlando Magic just handed Paolo Boncero a
0:48
Speaker 1: five year deal worth up to two hundred and eighty
0:51
Speaker 1: seven million. How do you categorize that one? We'll get
0:55
Speaker 1: to it right now. It's our number two. Not not
1:01
Speaker 1: the King, silly, not anything but flushing, flush, flush, flush flush.
1:08
Speaker 1: Wel come in the beginning of another hour for us
1:13
Speaker 1: the Ben Mahlor Show. We are in the air everywhere
1:19
Speaker 1: as we burn the clock with an audio bag of
1:24
Speaker 1: funions coast to coast, Borderer, border and beyond on the
1:28
Speaker 1: mast and rightfully, powerful microphones of fs are amminating live
1:34
Speaker 1: from the song as we have to sing for our
1:38
Speaker 1: supper from the Fox Sports Radio studios as approved by
1:44
Speaker 1: our Hugh kidding me, big fan of that, and this
1:48
Speaker 1: portion of the Ben Malors Show made possible in part
1:51
Speaker 1: by our friends at tire Rack.
1:52
Speaker 2: That's right.
1:53
Speaker 1: For over forty years, tire Rack has been helping customers
1:56
Speaker 1: find the right tires for how, what and where they drive.
1:59
Speaker 1: Ship fast and free, mister nice guy and back by
2:02
Speaker 1: free road hazard protection. I know the friy Daddy likes
2:06
Speaker 1: that with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation tire
2:12
Speaker 1: rack dot Com the way tire bond should be. So
2:15
Speaker 1: our lead this hour is from baseball and we.
2:21
Speaker 2: Start out in Queens. The New York.
2:23
Speaker 1: Metropolitans did not play, did not play on Monday. However,
2:29
Speaker 1: there was much embarrassment, much embarrassment. One Soto, the fallout.
2:34
Speaker 1: Everyone talking about this in Baseball. One Soto in his
2:38
Speaker 1: first season with the New York Mets, the new mister
2:43
Speaker 1: met signing a fifteen year contract for seven hundred and
2:47
Speaker 1: sixty five million, bigger than the gross domestic product of
2:51
Speaker 1: most small countries as a.
2:53
Speaker 2: Free agent, and he was.
2:56
Speaker 1: Not selected to Baseball's All Star roster. If you didn't
3:01
Speaker 1: see this.
3:02
Speaker 2: Maybe not.
3:02
Speaker 1: So the fallout on this has been pretty extreme. One
3:06
Speaker 1: Sodo snubbed by the fame, the fan said ixnay on
3:11
Speaker 1: the Soto a and also by the people in baseball.
3:16
Speaker 1: They didn't want one Sodo to be in the All
3:19
Speaker 1: Star Game. Now there's always a possible, a possibility, there's
3:23
Speaker 1: always a possibility that Juan Soto will be added. Players
3:27
Speaker 1: get hurt they don't appear in the All Star Game.
3:29
Speaker 1: So there will be some changes, but it doesn't matter.
3:31
Speaker 1: We do the show today, and so right now, as
3:33
Speaker 1: we're doing the show, one Soto is not on the
3:38
Speaker 1: National League All Star roster. So let us discuss the
3:41
Speaker 1: question how embarrassing, how embarrassing is it that the Mets
3:47
Speaker 1: outfielder Juan Soto is not and not part of the
3:52
Speaker 1: All Star Game, not named to the All Star roster.
3:56
Speaker 1: So I've got ballot, box, letterman, jacket, and FaceTime and
4:01
Speaker 1: we will combine all of these things together and we
4:06
Speaker 1: are going to put the biscuit in the basket.
4:08
Speaker 2: Is what we're going to do.
4:09
Speaker 1: So A number one, this is an emasculation situation, is
4:15
Speaker 1: what it is. It is a lemon merangue pie a
4:17
Speaker 1: delicious lemon merangue pie right to the face, right to
4:21
Speaker 1: the schnaz here. So let's cut through all the noise,
4:24
Speaker 1: all the nonsense like cacophony of noise. There one soda
4:30
Speaker 1: is not winning the mister popular vote, not winning any
4:35
Speaker 1: award here.
4:35
Speaker 2: And that's the real reason.
4:38
Speaker 1: That's the real reason that he's on the outside looking in.
4:42
Speaker 1: And the All Star Game, the All Star break starts
4:46
Speaker 1: on Sunday night after the games were played on Sunday,
4:50
Speaker 1: and the All Star Game in Georgia.
4:52
Speaker 2: So this is not about the stats.
4:54
Speaker 1: Now, we did some early April monologues about the performance
4:59
Speaker 1: of Wance not being up to the standard. It was
5:02
Speaker 1: not at that time. Soto's numbers of late douce scream
5:07
Speaker 1: all Star. He has had a late surge. If you
5:11
Speaker 1: get a little tingle when somebody gets a walk one,
5:13
Speaker 1: Soto's your player. He is third, we are told, if
5:17
Speaker 1: you look at the Nerd numbers, he's third among all
5:20
Speaker 1: NL outfielders. In ops, he's tied. I believe he's tied
5:25
Speaker 1: for fourth.
5:27
Speaker 2: In terms of home runs.
5:28
Speaker 1: And he was the player of the month, if I'm
5:31
Speaker 1: not mistaken, in the month of June.
5:33
Speaker 2: So those are all good things. Those are all those
5:36
Speaker 2: are all good things.
5:37
Speaker 1: He has been a one man on base machine for
5:41
Speaker 1: the Metropolitan drawing rot walks. You get a walk, you
5:44
Speaker 1: get a walk, You get a walk, kind of like
5:47
Speaker 1: a rotten fish draws flies a lot, a lot of walks. Now,
5:51
Speaker 1: regardless of that, Baseball's All Star Game is not just
5:56
Speaker 1: a pure stat based situation. Is a referendum on where
6:00
Speaker 1: you fall in the cosmos of baseball at this time.
6:05
Speaker 1: It is a popularity contest. Every man, woman and child
6:08
Speaker 1: knows this. And it's supposely it's a meritocracy, but it's not.
6:12
Speaker 1: It's a popularity contest. And the word in ballparks from
6:18
Speaker 1: Boston to Seattle and from Miami to San Francisco, the
6:22
Speaker 1: word is Juan Soto has rubbed enough people, enough people
6:27
Speaker 1: the wrong way where he has not been added to
6:31
Speaker 1: the guest list, not invited, and the players, remember the
6:36
Speaker 1: players vote for the reserves. It's like one thing for
6:39
Speaker 1: the fans to say, oh, we don't like this guy,
6:42
Speaker 1: so we're going to stick it to Jan Soda.
6:44
Speaker 2: That's one thing.
6:45
Speaker 1: And people vote on their computers, you know, ten fifteen
6:48
Speaker 1: times a day, whatever it is, but the backups not
6:53
Speaker 1: the starters not to start. The reserves are named by
6:57
Speaker 1: the players, and they did not circle or click the
7:00
Speaker 1: button on Jan Soda. Neither did the Commissioner's office. They
7:05
Speaker 1: didn't do it. They didn't do it. They get to
7:08
Speaker 1: pick the final six All Stars. I believe that's how
7:11
Speaker 1: that works. And so you would think that for Major
7:13
Speaker 1: League Baseball. The league headquarters are in Midtown Manhattan. There's
7:18
Speaker 1: a lot of met fans that work for Major League
7:20
Speaker 1: Baseball in the league office. You would think a seven
7:23
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty five million dollar player would at.
7:26
Speaker 2: Least get an invite.
7:28
Speaker 1: Didn't happen. That's not an accident. It's not Major League
7:32
Speaker 1: Baseball's players, the fans, and the league office all went
7:37
Speaker 1: into the ballot box and they issued a vote of
7:40
Speaker 1: no confidence.
7:42
Speaker 2: For Juan Soto. Yeah they did.
7:45
Speaker 1: But maybe I'll check. He's going to be there for
7:47
Speaker 1: a long time with the Mets. But right now, Juan
7:49
Speaker 1: Soto is covered in the cooties. Juan Soto has the cooties.
7:54
Speaker 1: It's just the way it is. The Komodo dragon in
7:57
Speaker 1: the room, we will address it. Is the demand of
8:00
Speaker 1: Wan Soda clearly has rubbed people the wrong way here
8:03
Speaker 1: oozing with swagger, but the swagger turned out to be
8:07
Speaker 1: the dagger in many respects. Here he has not won
8:11
Speaker 1: the hearts, minds, and voters. The Soto shuffle as it
8:17
Speaker 1: is known, and pretty much after every pitch, every pitch
8:21
Speaker 1: that he doesn't swing at. By the way, if you
8:23
Speaker 1: watch the Mets, and you watch them with the Yankees
8:25
Speaker 1: or the Podres or whoever, so he does a little dance,
8:28
Speaker 1: it's kind.
8:29
Speaker 2: Of like giving the bird. The bird is the word.
8:32
Speaker 2: The bird is the word.
8:33
Speaker 1: He gives the bird to the pitcher, the umpire and
8:36
Speaker 1: anyone else who thinks he should actually wait until he
8:39
Speaker 1: does something before he does a little shuffle.
8:41
Speaker 2: And all that.
8:41
Speaker 1: And so clearly there are enough people in baseball that
8:44
Speaker 1: don't like it.
8:46
Speaker 2: He said, well, it's just baseball. They're all buttoned up.
8:48
Speaker 1: There's enough people that grumble when Sodo does this that
8:50
Speaker 1: he's show voting one soo. And also the teammates, some
8:55
Speaker 1: of them, now they won't say it on the record
8:56
Speaker 1: because that's taboo, but they clearly are rolling their eye.
9:00
Speaker 1: Is Juan Sotos act there And when the cameras are
9:03
Speaker 1: not paying attention behind closed doors, they're whispering and they're
9:06
Speaker 1: not whispering sweet nothings. And it's all burn dogging the
9:10
Speaker 1: seven hundred and sixty five million dollar man. Of course,
9:13
Speaker 1: after taxes New York taxes, that's about twenty million, about
9:18
Speaker 1: twenty million. Anyway, listen, it's it's all bird dogging Juan
9:21
Speaker 1: Sodo around the Big Lease. Remember in Washington, Remember when
9:25
Speaker 1: he came on the scene, the hot shot prodigy of baseball.
9:29
Speaker 1: He had that natitude in DC and he was the
9:34
Speaker 1: golden child of Major League Baseball. Oh my god, but
9:38
Speaker 1: they were whispering even then. You know, he's gonna he's
9:41
Speaker 1: gonna have to grow up. It's more about Wan than
9:44
Speaker 1: the team. It's all about Wan. Then he went out
9:46
Speaker 1: to San Diego, ate some fish tacos with the Padres,
9:49
Speaker 1: tried to stay away from Poppy when he was in
9:51
Speaker 1: San Diego, went down a beautiful San Diego, America's finest city.
9:56
Speaker 1: They used to put it on the police cars went there,
9:59
Speaker 1: and Padre players did not did not exactly open open
10:06
Speaker 1: the door with you know, get him a hug, with warm, warm,
10:09
Speaker 1: loving vibrations there, did not throw him a parade. Then
10:12
Speaker 1: he went to the Bronx and even Aaron Judge the
10:17
Speaker 1: judge Tonian Aaron Judge, mister nice guy. Everyone loves him. Oh,
10:23
Speaker 1: you can't say anything bad about Aaron Judge. They didn't.
10:27
Speaker 1: Didn't seem like he was too bummed out when Juan
10:30
Speaker 1: Soto skidaddled across from his burrow to the next borough over.
10:34
Speaker 1: Didn't seem too upset by that. And so Soto, who
10:38
Speaker 1: often plays like he's auditioning for a statue, let me
10:44
Speaker 1: strike a pose. I'm gonna strike a pose. There clearly
10:48
Speaker 1: not winning over baseball, at least today. We do the
10:51
Speaker 1: show today and as of today that is not the case.
10:53
Speaker 1: Thus he is not an all start again. He might
10:55
Speaker 1: be added, you know, tomorrow, the next day, whenever. It
10:58
Speaker 1: doesn't matter right now, not the initial wave. It's like
11:02
Speaker 1: when they used to play the Pro Bowl, before the
11:04
Speaker 1: players in the NFL became pansies and they stopped playing
11:07
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl, and now they do like tic tac toe.
11:10
Speaker 2: But back when they did the Pro Bowl, there.
11:12
Speaker 1: Would always be ten guys on each team that skipped
11:16
Speaker 1: out on the Pro Bowl, and so other people would
11:17
Speaker 1: be added, and it got so ridiculous. I think one
11:20
Speaker 1: year Vince Young, who sucked, made.
11:23
Speaker 2: The Pro Bowl.
11:24
Speaker 1: He was a Pro Bowl quarterback, which really must have
11:27
Speaker 1: upset him because I don't think there was a cheesecake
11:30
Speaker 1: factory right next to a Loja stadium. They might not
11:33
Speaker 1: be even one in o' Wahu, which must have been
11:35
Speaker 1: upsetting anyway. Now turning the page, we go to La
11:37
Speaker 1: La Land. Why actually in Milwaukee where the brew crew
11:41
Speaker 1: shoved the meatball down the throat of the Dodgers. But
11:45
Speaker 1: that's not the story here. A random baseball game in
11:47
Speaker 1: July not to story the story here. After not speaking
11:51
Speaker 1: to reporters on Sunday when the news came out, Clayton
11:55
Speaker 1: Kershaw did break his silence. The day after, Clayton Kershaw
12:01
Speaker 1: said that he is quote grateful. He said, it's weird
12:06
Speaker 1: but cool, weird but cool that he was named an
12:09
Speaker 1: All Star selection on a Legends pick by rob Manfreud,
12:16
Speaker 1: a Legends pick for Clayton Kershaw. So can you parse
12:20
Speaker 1: the words? Here's the question. Can you parse the words
12:23
Speaker 1: of Clayton Kershaw on this All Star selection, the Legend pick?
12:30
Speaker 2: So this is not that deep.
12:31
Speaker 1: Kershaw admitted that he does not deserve to be at
12:34
Speaker 1: the All Star Game, as we anticipated the vibe.
12:37
Speaker 2: I got he doesn't want to go.
12:40
Speaker 1: Now, he's not gonna come out and be a total schmuck,
12:43
Speaker 1: and he'll show up, but he'd rather not go. And
12:46
Speaker 1: he's right, he doesn't belong in the All Star Game,
12:50
Speaker 1: and he's gonna go and he's gonna put on a
12:52
Speaker 1: happy face and all that. But major League Baseball, and
12:56
Speaker 1: they added this a few years ago, they haven't done
12:59
Speaker 1: it in a couple of years. Is the Legends addition
13:02
Speaker 1: to the All Star Game. But major League Baseball turning
13:05
Speaker 1: it into your aunt's Facebook page, right, a lot of nostalgia,
13:09
Speaker 1: a lot of participation, trophy congratulations, and you're pretending it's
13:14
Speaker 1: ten years ago if you're Clayton Kershaw and all that stuff.
13:17
Speaker 1: But if you gave him truth serum, if you injected
13:20
Speaker 1: Kershaw with a needle full of truth serum, he would
13:25
Speaker 1: rather be on a beach somewhere or back in his
13:27
Speaker 1: home in Texas with his kids, then standing on the
13:31
Speaker 1: foul line in Atlanta and tipping his cap and you know,
13:36
Speaker 1: like he's some kind of figurine from Cooperstown or something
13:40
Speaker 1: like that.
13:40
Speaker 2: So he'd much rather be on vacation.
13:43
Speaker 1: And he's gonna go, and he'll be there at the
13:45
Speaker 1: All Star game he would rather not, And Kershaw it
13:50
Speaker 1: is odd because him dropping into the All Star Game
13:54
Speaker 1: based on his body work, which he admits he's only
13:56
Speaker 1: made nine starts. It's like a guy showing up to
14:00
Speaker 1: a wedding that they were not invited to.
14:03
Speaker 2: Just like wedding crashers.
14:04
Speaker 1: You show up at the wedding and it's like, well,
14:06
Speaker 1: I probably shouldn't be here, but.
14:08
Speaker 2: There's an open bar. Baby, here I am.
14:11
Speaker 1: Now at the end of the day, he said, it's weird,
14:14
Speaker 1: Kershaw said, but it's cool, so I'm just going to
14:16
Speaker 1: enjoy it.
14:17
Speaker 2: No, he's not, Kershaw said.
14:19
Speaker 1: He says, you know what else, there's another partist Like
14:23
Speaker 1: he said weird and cool and all that stuff, and
14:25
Speaker 1: he talked about some other random things.
14:29
Speaker 2: But it's like a forty year old.
14:32
Speaker 1: Dude at the high school reunion wearing the letterman's jacket
14:34
Speaker 1: that shows up there and he's like, hey, you know,
14:38
Speaker 1: I am ordering my high school self. Here I am,
14:43
Speaker 1: And Kershaw knows he's undeserving of this. He is, and
14:48
Speaker 1: you know, you don't expect him to get into the
14:51
Speaker 1: All Star Game. So he's not gonna play. He's just
14:54
Speaker 1: gonna go there. He shows up to Atlanta. He checks
14:57
Speaker 1: into the Five Star hotel as a smile for the
14:59
Speaker 1: camp Mraz.
15:00
Speaker 2: He waves, he tips his cap.
15:02
Speaker 1: Maybe he'll go on microphone on the All Star broadcast
15:06
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. At that point, if you're not
15:08
Speaker 1: playing in the All Star Game and you're just there
15:10
Speaker 1: to tip the cap and to wave with the.
15:11
Speaker 2: Crowd, are you or are you not? A mascot? Is
15:14
Speaker 2: Clayton Kurdashaw?
15:15
Speaker 1: Not like the Philly fanatic or Wally the Green Monster
15:19
Speaker 1: or mister med or Bernie Brewer. That's what he is.
15:22
Speaker 1: If he shows up to the All Name not gonna
15:24
Speaker 1: play legends. Pick there you go? All right, final point?
15:27
Speaker 1: We quickly we go to Orlando, Big NBA signing, Big
15:33
Speaker 1: NBA signing. The Orlando Magic have handed paul O Boncherro,
15:38
Speaker 1: great name, great name. He has received a five year
15:42
Speaker 1: max extension worth up to.
15:46
Speaker 2: Up to two hundred eighty seven million.
15:48
Speaker 1: So how do you categorize a player that is not
15:51
Speaker 1: a household name getting a two hundred eighty seven million
15:56
Speaker 1: dollar contract. So this is obviously not monopoly money. It
16:00
Speaker 1: is not Powerball, it's not Mega millions. It is I
16:04
Speaker 1: call it FaceTime. It is face of the franchise money.
16:10
Speaker 1: Not that he is mister relevant in NBA circles.
16:16
Speaker 2: He's not. But that's the kind of money.
16:17
Speaker 1: That's the kind of contract that you get that you
16:21
Speaker 1: have to carry the franchise.
16:23
Speaker 2: You are the face of the franchise.
16:24
Speaker 1: You have to sell out the box office, you have
16:28
Speaker 1: to sell out the gymnasium on a random Tuesday night
16:33
Speaker 1: in December when the Charlotte Hornets come to town and
16:36
Speaker 1: no one cares. You have to sell the arena out.
16:40
Speaker 1: Now is he that guy? Right now? You're not that guy, Pal,
16:44
Speaker 1: You're not that guy. And the Orlando Sad Sack, Orlando Magic,
16:51
Speaker 1: who've had a few runs of relevancy in my lifetime,
16:54
Speaker 1: but few and far between, and certainly don't move the dial.
16:59
Speaker 1: They don't move the need when it comes to the
17:01
Speaker 1: Eastern Conference here. But that's the kind of a deal.
17:03
Speaker 1: You think that guy is going to be a top
17:05
Speaker 1: ten player in the NBA, That Paulo Banchero is going
17:08
Speaker 1: to be a top ten player, and he's going to
17:10
Speaker 1: make all NBA teams, who cares about all Star games?
17:13
Speaker 1: All NBA teams. That's going to be where he's at.
17:15
Speaker 1: And the ugly truth is, right now, again, we do
17:17
Speaker 1: the show right now. He is not box office.
17:20
Speaker 2: He's not.
17:21
Speaker 1: No one's going out to watch him like they watch
17:23
Speaker 1: Steph Curry with the Moneyball or even Luca with the
17:26
Speaker 1: eurostep the razzle dazzle.
17:28
Speaker 2: That's not happening.
17:30
Speaker 1: So the Magic, though, they're betting almost three hundred million.
17:34
Speaker 1: That's up to two hundred and eighty seven and so
17:36
Speaker 1: almost three hundred million, that he will be there, that
17:40
Speaker 1: he will matriculate the basketball down the court with such gusto,
17:45
Speaker 1: that he will have a metamorphosis and be the kind
17:48
Speaker 1: of a player that in BC, because they've got the
17:52
Speaker 1: new TV rights, NBC and the ESPN and all.
17:55
Speaker 2: Them will circle the Orlando Magic and.
17:59
Speaker 1: They'll be like, all right, we have to go there,
18:01
Speaker 1: and we have to show them, and we will not
18:03
Speaker 1: skip Orlando like it's a it's a stopover in Fargo.
18:08
Speaker 2: I don't even know if you can stop over in Fargo.
18:10
Speaker 2: I think you can't.
18:11
Speaker 1: But this is a franchise, the Orlando Magic, that has
18:15
Speaker 1: been wandering aimlessly like gypsies through the desert there since
18:21
Speaker 1: Dwight Howard said I'm out of here, and he took
18:24
Speaker 1: his cape and left with a frown I'm gone.
18:28
Speaker 3: That's it.
18:29
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do some dancing reality show in La and
18:32
Speaker 1: all that stuff. But the magic, they obviously need Paulo
18:35
Speaker 1: Boncero to be an alpha dog, be the closer.
18:38
Speaker 2: I'd be the face of the franchise. Oh see.
18:40
Speaker 1: But that's a lot of cash. So whether he's good
18:42
Speaker 1: or not, he's getting the money. Unless he violates the
18:45
Speaker 1: terms of the contract, the morals clause in the contract,
18:48
Speaker 1: he's getting all that money.

20:35
Speaker 1: On the air, Ryan from San Diego says, you know, Mike,
20:40
Speaker 1: California Angels suck when they're lone All Star representative. I've
20:45
Speaker 1: never heard of before my whole life. It reminds me
20:48
Speaker 1: of when the late Mike Sharperson represented the Dodgers one
20:51
Speaker 1: year as a utility player. Yeah, you know your team
20:56
Speaker 1: is not going well when you have one All Star
20:59
Speaker 1: and that is because every team must have an all Star.
21:02
Speaker 2: You know things are not going particularly well. What else
21:06
Speaker 2: do we have to see? Page down?
21:08
Speaker 1: Mark in Santa Monica rites in says Juan Soto's former
21:13
Speaker 1: teammates from the Nationals Padres and the Yankees never seemed
21:17
Speaker 1: that broken.
21:18
Speaker 2: Up after he was gone.
21:19
Speaker 1: That speaks volumes, says Mark in Santa Monica.
21:25
Speaker 2: He was always that guy. He was one soda.
21:30
Speaker 1: Remember when he went to the Padres and they offered
21:33
Speaker 1: him like four hundred million and at the time, it
21:37
Speaker 1: means it was it was gonna be like a like
21:39
Speaker 1: a dam I mean four million dollars and he just
21:41
Speaker 1: like snubbed his nose at it. And he was always
21:45
Speaker 1: that soldier of fortune.
21:48
Speaker 2: Which is great. I mean he's got his money.
21:50
Speaker 1: And congratulations, he got every dollar. But he's just like a.
21:57
Speaker 2: Gypsy bouncing right now.
21:58
Speaker 1: He's gonna be with the metsrol long time and ten
22:01
Speaker 1: years from now we'll forget about all this.
22:02
Speaker 2: But he's it's just that guy.
22:04
Speaker 1: He's like he never put down roots anywhere, just bounced
22:07
Speaker 1: around because his goal was the almighty dollar and he won. Congratulations.
22:11
Speaker 1: But people don't like him. He's not very popular. That
22:15
Speaker 1: is the case. Now Bill's mafia guy says, Hey Mallard,
22:19
Speaker 1: I'm back as a listener, and we're talking about one Soto.
22:24
Speaker 1: He did not make the NL team. I would think
22:26
Speaker 1: that a seven hundred and fifty million dollar contract would
22:29
Speaker 1: guarantee you a spot. That's why we talked about it, says,
22:32
Speaker 1: the highest paid player in the majors was not voted
22:34
Speaker 1: to go to Atlanta by his fans, his peers, and
22:37
Speaker 1: the league office. It's a good thumbnail recap of the
22:42
Speaker 1: Mallor monologue. And now super Market Steve is in danger
22:46
Speaker 1: of being blocked. He's trying to get me to lose
22:49
Speaker 1: my job. He would like me to be fired, super
22:51
Speaker 1: Market Steve, He continues to send WNBA propaganda my way. Now,
22:58
Speaker 1: super Market Steve, I know you work at a growth store,
23:00
Speaker 1: so you might not understand this what I do, Supermarkeut
23:02
Speaker 1: Steve is broadcasting. You want narrow casting, He says. Your
23:06
Speaker 1: biggest complain about every major sport other than the nfls
23:11
Speaker 1: the players don't care and are too friendly.
23:14
Speaker 2: Well, your answer, he says, it's the w NBA.
23:18
Speaker 1: Hey you go, he says, and he says he makes
23:21
Speaker 1: a crude joke and says you're gonna have a guaranteed
23:24
Speaker 1: fight every time. No, listen, you enjoy your WNBA and
23:27
Speaker 1: you and seven of your great great friends can enjoy that.
23:30
Speaker 1: And then when Caplin Clark pays, if something happens, we'll
23:33

Speaker 2: The mosquitos the size of hummingbirds there, alligator allator.
24:16
Speaker 1: You know I actually did I when I covered spring
24:19
Speaker 1: training years ago the Dodgers when he used to be
24:21
Speaker 1: in Florida. I drove across Uh. Not not a lot
24:24
Speaker 1: going on there in the middle of you better.
24:27
Speaker 3: Make sure you have put your gas.
24:30
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, yeah, you don't.
24:32
Speaker 1: You don't want to have a car problem out there,
24:35
Speaker 1: especially at night at night. You definitely don't want to
24:37
Speaker 1: have a car during the day, you got a shot.
24:39
Speaker 3: I had a friend that had a car problem and
24:42
Speaker 3: God blessed him. He was born with two crippled arms
24:46
Speaker 3: and he's tuck but luckily some some good spirit and
24:50
Speaker 3: stuff that they have to change this time.
24:52
Speaker 2: Oh that's good. Yeah, that's good.
24:55
Speaker 3: Well, what do you think about your Yankees?
24:58
Speaker 1: Well, as you know along a lot of time Yankee fan, uh,
25:02
Speaker 1: and I do love the mid season drama. The Dodgers
25:04
Speaker 1: are going through a rough patch. The Yankees are going
25:06
Speaker 1: through a rough patch right now, and then you realize
25:10
Speaker 1: that it's the first I guess the second week now
25:13
Speaker 1: of July, And uh.
25:15
Speaker 2: You know, I don't I don't think the Yankees.
25:16
Speaker 1: I don't think are that great. I think the Dodgers
25:18
Speaker 1: should be much better they are. I think the Yankees
25:20
Speaker 1: are about where they're supposed to be.
25:21
Speaker 2: They're like there.
25:22
Speaker 3: Yeah, I played the Yankees over achieved in the first
25:25
Speaker 3: couple of months.
25:26
Speaker 1: Yeah, although I watched I'll tell you this, when I
25:28
Speaker 1: watched the Yankees, though, the thing that stands out is
25:32
Speaker 1: why did the Dodgers do business with Blake Snell?
25:36
Speaker 2: That loser? Blake's a bro.
25:38
Speaker 1: I ain't playing unless I get mine, bro, Well, he
25:40
Speaker 1: got paid, He's still not playing. Max Freed is an
25:43
Speaker 1: LA guy. He grew up a Dodger fan. He wanted
25:46
Speaker 1: to pitch for the Dodgers. And that a hole front
25:48
Speaker 1: office of the Dodgers signed Blake Snell that they could
25:53
Speaker 1: have had Max Freed, who's wonderful.
25:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the guy that said they paid him. He's
25:58
Speaker 2: still not playing.
25:59
Speaker 1: He's made two more starts and you have Van, the
26:01
Speaker 1: one legged bam of Man, two more stars than you have.
26:03
Speaker 2: I'm risking my life. He's risking. He's not risking his life.
26:07
Speaker 1: And that schmuck vassa enemy of this show, a friend
26:11
Speaker 1: of Blake's, noew, which tells you all you need to know.
26:13
Speaker 1: You can tell the character of people by the friends
26:15
Speaker 1: they keep.
26:17
Speaker 3: Well, I'm glad we didn't give either the Max Fray
26:21
Speaker 3: or he gave me Freddy Freeman.
26:22
Speaker 1: Well, you didn't give the Yankees Max free either. He
26:24
Speaker 1: signed as a free agent. As you know, a friend,
26:27
Speaker 1: I didn't you know. I did see a story about
26:29
Speaker 1: your Atlanta Braves a Van, one of the Braves Beat
26:31
Speaker 1: writers had a meltdown on social media.
26:35
Speaker 2: Did you see this? One of the Atlanta bread Beat writers.
26:37
Speaker 1: Because he's he was upset with the fans, saying that
26:41
Speaker 1: the team's struggling and they're upset with the media for
26:44
Speaker 1: not asking tough questions.
26:46
Speaker 2: But essentially his rant, my cliff Notes.
26:49
Speaker 1: Version of the rant is this Braves beat writer had
26:51
Speaker 1: to melt down because no matter what he does, people complain. Uh,
26:56
Speaker 1: And he's really sick of the fanboys on social media.
27:00
Speaker 2: That's that's it. That if the.
27:01
Speaker 1: Braves are winning, you shouldn't be asking tough questions. If
27:05
Speaker 1: they're losing, Uh, you need to ask tough questions.
27:08
Speaker 2: It's like never enough.
27:09
Speaker 3: So he complaining one quick trivia question about Clayton Kershaw
27:14
Speaker 3: three thousand track outs, okay, with two other players that
27:17
Speaker 3: did this in the history of major late baseball beaching. Well,
27:23
Speaker 3: I know what it is. You know what it is?
27:25
Speaker 2: Well, I think what you mean is with one are
27:27
Speaker 2: you talking about one team?
27:28
Speaker 3: One team?
27:28
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, Well I know one is Bob Gibson, right,
27:32
Speaker 1: I think one is Bob Gibson, the.
27:34
Speaker 3: Other one's Walter Walter Johnson.
27:36
Speaker 2: There you go, here's what you want. Another you want another?
27:39
Speaker 1: You want a fun fact about Clayton Kersh, I'll give

27:50
Speaker 1: jingle company in Dallas.
27:52
Speaker 2: He's fun.
27:53
Speaker 1: Yeah, his father was a jingle singer in Dallas road jingles,
27:58
Speaker 1: radio job.
27:59
Speaker 3: What does my one two and a half?
28:00
Speaker 6: Man?
28:01
Speaker 3: Uh? His character wrote dangles. Yeah, let's just great, Charlie Jean.
28:07
Speaker 2: Except this this is real. Yeah, exactly right.
28:11
Speaker 3: Late is four and oh he good? Just tomorrow going
28:14
Speaker 3: to the All Star. He didn't learn.
28:16
Speaker 2: Bet the house, bet the house on the Brewers by
28:18
Speaker 2: the way.
28:19
Speaker 1: Uh, that'll be yeah already, of course, of course you did.
28:24
Speaker 2: Why not.
28:26
Speaker 3: Loss? All right, buddy, all right, there you go.
28:29
Speaker 1: Van the one legged Obama man who's going to move
28:31
Speaker 1: the alligator Army Ali unless he's not. Andre is in
28:34
Speaker 1: the Commonwealth. Hello, Andre, welcome.
28:39
Speaker 5: Ben, good to be with you. Uh this evening. Now, listen,
28:43
Speaker 5: we started off talking about the deal that went down
28:47
Speaker 5: with Miami Heat and the Clippers. I think this is
28:50
Speaker 5: a value deal. Norman Palell, fringe All Star Star for
28:54
Speaker 5: the l A Clippers, getting his opportunity in Miami. We
28:57
Speaker 5: know that pat Riley loves these guys, right, hard work
29:00
Speaker 5: just there on the cusp. I think that he will
29:02
Speaker 5: shine out there, Collins athletic player. You know, he's moved
29:05
Speaker 5: on to get a better opportunity. But Ben, it's looking
29:09
Speaker 5: like the Phoenix Suns might have their window to come
29:12
Speaker 5: up off of this Bradley Bial situation that they're looking at, right,
29:17
Speaker 5: because Bradley Beal holding anchor on the franchise, just sitting
29:20
Speaker 5: there with his no trade clause because he's like an
29:22
Speaker 5: all time great, isn't that right, Ben?
29:24
Speaker 3: Right?
29:25
Speaker 5: Lebron James has a no trade clause, and then the
29:27
Speaker 5: next all time player in the NBA with the no
29:29
Speaker 5: trade clause is oh yeah, Bradley, Yes.
29:32
Speaker 1: Bradley the Great Bradley bal who I love. I love
29:35
Speaker 1: how NBA math works. Did you see this?
29:37
Speaker 3: Andre?
29:38
Speaker 2: So the math I read this earlier.
29:40
Speaker 1: I was like, this can't be right, Like all these
29:42
Speaker 1: salary caps are bullcrap. So Bradley Beal got all this
29:45
Speaker 1: guaranteed money, and if he gives back fourteen million dollars,
29:49
Speaker 1: which he's apparently agreed to do to the Suns, that
29:52
Speaker 1: means that would save the Suns.
29:54
Speaker 2: Two hundred and thirty million.
29:55
Speaker 1: Dollars by him giving back fourteen million. Now that is
30:00
Speaker 1: that's some fuzzy math is what that is.
30:02
Speaker 5: Indeed, indeed, the second apron, Ben, I don't think we
30:05
Speaker 5: needed a second apron that's over here having these owners.
30:08
Speaker 1: Yet I don't even need an ape. I cook all
30:09
Speaker 1: the time. I don't even need an apron. I am
30:12
Speaker 1: a rebel in the kitchen. I don't even use an
30:14
Speaker 1: apron most of the time.
30:15
Speaker 5: You do the pizza, pie muffins.
30:17
Speaker 2: I do. I do the cookies.
30:19
Speaker 1: I haven't made cookies in a while because I'm trying
30:20
Speaker 1: to not you know, gain weight again and all that stuff.
30:22
Speaker 1: So but I do like the pizza and the cheese steak,
30:27
Speaker 1: the New York beef sandwich.
30:29
Speaker 2: I make that a lot.
30:30
Speaker 5: So it's all good, excellent, excellent, excellent. And I think
30:33
Speaker 5: this is how the people again in Phoenix and also
30:35
Speaker 5: the clipper Land, they're salivating, you know, because Clippers first
30:39
Speaker 5: of all first rate organization, and they do a lot
30:41
Speaker 5: of reclamation projects. People that have issues touch and go
30:45
Speaker 5: here and there. They come up under ty Low's leadership,
30:47
Speaker 5: Lawrence Frank in the front office, Daddy Warbucks running the
30:50
Speaker 5: whole show, and they find their stright. So this was
30:52
Speaker 5: the case with James Harden. He's found a home. He's
30:54
Speaker 5: a good citizen, even though he shouldn't have been an
30:56
Speaker 5: All Star, should have went to Zubac or Norman Powell.
30:59
Speaker 5: I think it's a good landing place for Bradley Beal
31:01
Speaker 5: trying to find himself again. He's going to get on.
31:03
Speaker 1: So you're already jumping at you. You're already moving past
31:06
Speaker 1: the John Collins move and a nineteen eight rebound guy,
31:12
Speaker 1: and now you've already advanced. You're I'm saving my thoughts
31:15
Speaker 1: on Bradley Beal until he agrees to the contract, and
31:18
Speaker 1: then I will have a full Malla monologue about Bradley Beal.
31:21
Speaker 2: But you're already locking him in.
31:22
Speaker 1: I know there are reports in the overnight that he's
31:24
Speaker 1: head to the Clippers, that the reason they did the
31:26
Speaker 1: John Collins deal was to get Bradley Beal.
31:29
Speaker 2: So we'll see if that's announced later today.
31:31
Speaker 5: Wonderful. You know, John Collin's good player, athlete. He's going
31:34
Speaker 5: to go out there and get you a lot of
31:36
Speaker 5: energy points and you know he'll he'll help a team,
31:38
Speaker 5: you know. But I think, really what this is setting up,
31:40
Speaker 5: I think the prize is for both teams. Bradley Beal,
31:43
Speaker 5: who John's good playing Bradley Beal.
31:46
Speaker 2: Well, I don't want to say pride.
31:47
Speaker 1: I mean Bradley Beal is a diminished asset at this
31:50
Speaker 1: point we can we agree.
31:51
Speaker 2: On that is. Listen, he did not did not live.
31:55
Speaker 1: Up to the anticipated abilities that he showed with Washington.
32:00
Speaker 1: Uh in Arizona, he was a bust. He went belly
32:04
Speaker 1: off with the Suns.
32:05
Speaker 5: So indeed, but Ben, But all I'm saying is, once
32:09
Speaker 5: you find James Harden in the same the Clippers just
32:12
Speaker 5: do a really good job taking folks that are on
32:14
Speaker 5: the slippery slope, getting them back on some solid ground,
32:17
Speaker 5: and then playing winning basketball. You know, they're always the
32:20
Speaker 5: Clippers are essentially the Miami Heat of the Western Conference.
32:22
Speaker 5: Right they don't believe in tanking. They're not a championship team,
32:25
Speaker 5: but they're going to be a tough out for these
32:27
Speaker 5: championship level teams, you know, and they you know, they
32:30
Speaker 5: do it the right way, is what I'm saying. That's
32:32
Speaker 5: why it's just nice because the Phoenix Suns, who I
32:36
Speaker 5: think are a borderline dumpster fire, now this gives them
32:38
Speaker 5: the opportunity to kind of start to rebuild. Even though
32:41
Speaker 5: my issue was all billions of dollars running through head coaches.
32:44
Speaker 5: He set them back good.
32:46
Speaker 2: I don't hear Willis. I don't know where Willis is,
32:48
Speaker 2: but I will over here. I w was you know
32:52
Speaker 2: was he was?
32:57
Speaker 5: He was wrestling.
32:57
Speaker 2: We're going to to go for the world at dad.
33:00
Speaker 2: Willis some exercise rain.
33:03
Speaker 5: I apologize, bro Brain's back and welcome back, and I
33:06
Speaker 5: will alsill have some commentary. Next question.
33:08
Speaker 1: All right, oh, it's all right, there's a andre from
33:11
Speaker 1: the Commonwealth.
33:12
Speaker 2: So Tom Brady, Tommrady.
33:17
Speaker 1: He recently said that at one point when he was
33:20
Speaker 1: twenty seven years old with the Patriots, tom Brady said
33:24
Speaker 1: he came this close to retiring at age twenty seven.
33:28
Speaker 1: Now after the age of twenty seven, so up until
33:31
Speaker 1: that point, Tom Brady had made nineteen point six million dollars.
33:36
Speaker 1: It's a lot of money. He would go on to
33:39
Speaker 1: make another three hundred and thirteen million after the age
33:46
Speaker 1: of twenty seven, and he won four more Super Bowls
33:49
Speaker 1: after that that. He claims he came real close to
33:52
Speaker 1: retiring at age twenty seven, is going to walk away
33:54

37:26
Speaker 4: To the third degree?
37:29
Speaker 2: This is one gets all right?
37:33
Speaker 6: It was reported on Sunday that wide receiver Terry McLaurin
37:36
Speaker 6: and the Commanders have not made any progress in negotiations
37:39
Speaker 6: on a contracts extension as McLaurin continues to hold out
37:42
Speaker 6: benef mclauren doesn't play. How much does that hurt Jane
37:45
Speaker 6: and Daniels.
37:46
Speaker 1: Well, Mclaurin's really good, And I guess the way I
37:50
Speaker 1: all answered is it depends on whether Deebo Samuel's fat
37:52
Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel or if he's in shape. Because if Deebo
37:55
Speaker 1: Samuel plays like he did briefly for the forty nine ers,
37:57
Speaker 1: the Washington whatever they're called, will be fun. If not,
38:01
Speaker 1: they're screwed. And it is the quarterback that makes the receiver.
38:05
Speaker 1: So Washington should figure things out, not the other way around.
38:08
Speaker 6: Next, Chase Claypool seemed like he was on the path
38:10
Speaker 6: to becoming a star receiver and then totally fell off
38:13
Speaker 6: the map. Now he is taking the social media to
38:15
Speaker 6: declare that he's completely healthy and ready to have the
38:17
Speaker 6: best year of his career. Yes, but you think Claypool
38:20
Speaker 6: can revive his career?
38:21
Speaker 1: Maybe on TikTok. Possibly He's a guy he was like
38:26
Speaker 1: the DeAndre Ayden of the NFL coop. He's just like
38:29
Speaker 1: it wasn't somebody that hustled, kind of lazy cut corners,
38:32
Speaker 1: and he had the talent to be a good player,
38:34
Speaker 1: but he just didn't put the work in. And so
38:36
Speaker 1: it's not whether he's healthy or not. He just doesn't
38:39
Speaker 1: give a crap when he's on the field. That's why
38:41
Speaker 1: he didn't make it.
38:42
Speaker 6: Next, the NBA Summer League is debuting what they're calling
38:45
Speaker 6: the heave Rule, where a last second shot at the
38:47
Speaker 6: end of quarter doesn't count against a player's percentage.
38:51
Speaker 2: Ben you think this is going to be coming to
38:52
Speaker 2: the NBA. Yes, And the reason it's going to come
38:55
Speaker 2: to the NBA.
38:55
Speaker 1: The NBA is upset that players won't shoot at the
38:58
Speaker 1: end of quarters because they don't want their stats to
38:59
Speaker 1: be heard.
39:00
Speaker 2: There's so good about their stats. One the losers, all right,
39:04
Speaker 2: I one, alright, I unbelieving I always shoot at the
39:09
Speaker 2: end of hight
