1:15
Speaker 1: This portion of the Ben Malshow made possible in part
1:18
Speaker 1: by our friends at ty Iraq. For over forty years,

Speaker 1: options like mobile tire installation tire i raq dot com
1:34
Speaker 1: the Way Tire Buying show be so our lead this
1:39
Speaker 1: hour is from baseball. We'll start out in Baltimore. Now,
1:44
Speaker 1: the July fourth holiday, you're coming up at the end
1:47
Speaker 1: of the week. The calendar has flipped over. It's today's
1:50
Speaker 1: July second. If you're scoring it home. So we are
1:53
Speaker 1: less than a month away from the July thirty first
1:56
Speaker 1: trade deadline, which means you must line up who's going
2:01
Speaker 1: where and which teams are selling and which teams are buying. Now,
2:05
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Orioles, we can all agree the Baltimore Orioles
2:09
Speaker 1: are the most disappointing team in baseball. They were supposed
2:13
Speaker 1: to be a playoff contender, and they were in the
2:17
Speaker 1: plus back to back years. Now Baltimore, the Orioles find
2:21
Speaker 1: themselves ten games under five hundred, I believe it is now,
2:24
Speaker 1: rather than hovering around ten or more games under five hundred,
2:27
Speaker 1: seven games out of the final wild card berth in
2:31
Speaker 1: the American League. And have you heard the message from
2:36
Speaker 1: the front office? Perhaps not so. The GM Mike Elias,
2:39
Speaker 1: who's got his DNA with the cheating. Asstros mich Elias
2:44
Speaker 1: spoke with the reporters recently, he made it clear that
2:47
Speaker 1: the Orioles, he said, are hoping to contend they're ten
2:52
Speaker 1: games under five hundred, but they're preparing for both sides
2:56
Speaker 1: of the trade deadline. Quote. People are making their preparations.
3:01
Speaker 1: They understand that we're not committed to a path yet,
3:05
Speaker 1: the oriole windbag said, but we're doing preparation in both
3:10
Speaker 1: directions and have an understanding where that might go close quote.
3:17
Speaker 1: So that is what's known as the money quote. So
3:19
Speaker 1: let us discuss the question the GM Mike Olias saying
3:23
Speaker 1: that the Orioles are not committed to a path for
3:28
Speaker 1: the upcoming trade deadline yet, how does that vibe with you?
3:33
Speaker 1: So I've got Las Vegas neon sign, all right, Las
3:38
Speaker 1: Vegas style neon sign. We've got cyber gangsters, paradise, and oatmeal,
3:44
Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together and
3:48
Speaker 1: we are going to make a rubber ducky, which is
3:51
Speaker 1: what Michael Leprechaun had with him when he walked out
3:54
Speaker 1: of the building. He was carrying a grown man in
3:56
Speaker 1: a Leprechaunt shirt with a rubber ducky. He had that
4:01
Speaker 1: it squeaked. All right. So my first thought here in
4:04
Speaker 1: terms of you know, we don't know what we're gonna do.
4:06
Speaker 1: You know, the ools are confused and all that. No,
4:09
Speaker 1: no they're not. There's no confusion at all. Don't kid yourself.
4:12
Speaker 1: The ools know exactly what they're gonna do. Baltimore is
4:15
Speaker 1: setting the table. They're getting the gasoline, they're getting the
4:19
Speaker 1: matchbook ready, and it's burn, baby, burn. They are gonna
4:23
Speaker 1: have a fire sale. And it's even like playing poker, right,
4:26
Speaker 1: like any savvy poker player sitting on a full house,
4:31
Speaker 1: they're pretending they're still deciding whether they're all in or not.
4:35
Speaker 1: I got a full house, but I'm maybe I'm not
4:38
Speaker 1: going on. Please all right this we're not committed to
4:43
Speaker 1: a path yet. Dance from the GM Mike Elias there
4:46
Speaker 1: in Baltimore is comedy goal, it's laughable. It's also the
4:52
Speaker 1: classic front office maneuvering that we see this time of
4:55
Speaker 1: the year. If you've been around a few years, you
4:57
Speaker 1: know this. You don't tip your hand before the auction starts.
5:01
Speaker 1: You don't announce before you're going to auction. You create tension,
5:05
Speaker 1: you create uncertainty, and you create mystery. That way, you
5:12
Speaker 1: don't just get people who are buying your product, you
5:16
Speaker 1: get people who are bidding on your product. It's rather obviously.
5:19
Speaker 1: The O's are preparing the Las Vegas style Neon sign
5:25
Speaker 1: out in front of Cameron Yards, and it says price
5:28
Speaker 1: to sell, price to sell. Now, not everything's gonna get traded.
5:32
Speaker 1: You can't trade everything, trade most everything though, right if
5:36
Speaker 1: you most of the secondary players, you're not gonna trade
5:39
Speaker 1: the front line guys. But that's it. And you know,
5:41
Speaker 1: if you're the Orioles, you got the usual suspect, the Dodgers,
5:44
Speaker 1: the Mets, the Red Sox, the Agante's, the teams that
5:49
Speaker 1: are either in contention or should be in contention, that
5:53
Speaker 1: are desperate for help. And so you've got that in
5:56
Speaker 1: your back pocket. And if they if they stink like
6:00
Speaker 1: they have so far this yeah, I mean, listen, may
6:02
Speaker 1: the Ols win ten in a row before the trade deadline,
6:04
Speaker 1: we can revisit this. But the Orioles, they did that
6:08
Speaker 1: they're a contender. When you're ten games under five hundred,
6:12
Speaker 1: you're not a contender, right, And they'll trade. They'll begin
6:15
Speaker 1: by trading expiring contracts or players that are older and
6:19
Speaker 1: things like that. But don't before. It's not so much
6:22
Speaker 1: a strategy for the Orioles, right, it's it's theater, is
6:27
Speaker 1: what it is here. It's the Donald Trump book, Art
6:30
Speaker 1: of the Deal, you know, baseball style and all that. Now, meanwhile,
6:34
Speaker 1: we have a fan put on time out. We go
6:37
Speaker 1: to the Valley of the Sun, where the Arizona Diamondbacks
6:41
Speaker 1: have said bye bye. They announced that that fan that
6:46
Speaker 1: interfered with a live ball in the game back on
6:48
Speaker 1: Monday against the Higan Days, that that fan has been dismissed.
6:52
Speaker 1: That same fan, for the last several years has been
6:55
Speaker 1: involved in trying to catch balls in the outfield that
6:59
Speaker 1: ended up up either being fair balls or foulball. Not
7:02
Speaker 1: foul balls, but fair balls are in play. And there's
7:06
Speaker 1: a whole sizzle reel of this Gibbroni doing his thing. Well,
7:10
Speaker 1: he's been banned from attending Diamondback games for the remainder
7:14
Speaker 1: of the twenty twenty five MLB season. And this is
7:18
Speaker 1: the second fan who's been banned from baseball this season
7:24
Speaker 1: because of the Diamondbacks. Coutell Marte famously had a breakdown
7:31
Speaker 1: at a rather benign comment and the Diamondbacks. You would
7:34
Speaker 1: have thought he was told the worst thing in the world.
7:36
Speaker 1: They banned the White Sox banned the fan because Marte
7:40
Speaker 1: overreacted and all that stuff. Well, now this fan has
7:42
Speaker 1: been banned. So during Monday's game, the fan interfered with
7:46
Speaker 1: a hit from San Francisco third basement Christian Costs in
7:50
Speaker 1: the eighth inning. He reached over the outfield wall sitting
7:54
Speaker 1: out in left center field, reached over the wall, caught
7:58
Speaker 1: the live ball with his club. So they went to
8:01
Speaker 1: the replay and it was initially ruled the home run.
8:03
Speaker 1: They went to the expedited replay review and determined that
8:08
Speaker 1: it was a ground rule double. So question, why why
8:12
Speaker 1: did the Diamondbacks decide to ban the fan for the
8:17
Speaker 1: rest of the twenty twenty five season for interfering with
8:20
Speaker 1: a live ball. I know it's happened a few times,
8:22
Speaker 1: but why now? Why? Now? Is this a bannable situation
8:26
Speaker 1: for the Diamondbacks. So now we have the glove Gestapo
8:32
Speaker 1: that has arrived on the scene here and this is
8:35
Speaker 1: like an international crime, international crime? What are you doing?
8:40
Speaker 1: And I would say what in the wild? As Jackie
8:42
Speaker 1: Slater fams, what in orld? Like? This guy's a serial offender,
8:47
Speaker 1: That's what they're saying, well, serial offender, he's like the
8:50
Speaker 1: Barry Bonds of interfering with batted balls in the outfield.
8:56
Speaker 1: So what's supposed to happen if you're sitting and this
8:59
Speaker 1: guy obviously he knows, she's strategically sitting in the outfield
9:02
Speaker 1: because he knows there's a certain amount of balls every
9:04
Speaker 1: year that are hit in the power alley and a
9:07
Speaker 1: lot of the home runs are hit there. So he's
9:10
Speaker 1: sitting there because he wants to get home runs. So
9:11
Speaker 1: you're in the front row, you've got your glove, and
9:15
Speaker 1: the ball is hit, you're in the front row, it's
9:19
Speaker 1: heading towards you are You're gonna just sit there and
9:24
Speaker 1: not move. You're like a guard at Buckingham Palace and
9:29
Speaker 1: you just freeze and you don't do any Come on,
9:32
Speaker 1: which was to lock this person up? I mean, we
9:34
Speaker 1: were banning him. But if you're really honest on what
9:36
Speaker 1: happened after a minutes long Mallard deliberation, If you look
9:41
Speaker 1: at this, the reason the only reason the Arizonder the
9:45
Speaker 1: Diamondbacks now are doing this is because it went viral.
9:50
Speaker 1: He's been involved that the same fan has been involved
9:54
Speaker 1: in this for seven what three or four years. I
9:56
Speaker 1: think four years prior to this year, he was never band.
10:00
Speaker 1: What did nobody notice? Yeah, it didn't go viral. If
10:03
Speaker 1: it had gone viral, he would have been kicked out.
10:06
Speaker 1: This is the difference, right, you had the cyber gangster's paradise.
10:10
Speaker 1: You had the bots on x and TikTok and read it,
10:16
Speaker 1: and who knows, maybe they brought back MySpace. They brought
10:19
Speaker 1: that back there. Probably they're all dragging this guy through
10:23
Speaker 1: the cyber mud. Ben him, bend him, bet for baseball,
10:28
Speaker 1: but throw him out, they screamed from the top of
10:31
Speaker 1: the mountain. It is all performative pr that's performative reactionary
10:36
Speaker 1: public relations. If two hundred people were watching that game,
10:42
Speaker 1: if that was a Tampa Bay Rays game or a
10:44
Speaker 1: Sacramento Athletics game, there would be two hundred people there
10:48
Speaker 1: and instead of the vultures on social media, then nothing
10:53
Speaker 1: would have happened. Nothing. There was a pile on It
10:57
Speaker 1: was a dog pile. And this is the guys, Oh
10:59
Speaker 1: my god, does it Every year the clip went viral,
11:02
Speaker 1: It made the rounds and got enough views. The team
11:05
Speaker 1: became aware of it and they're like, this is a
11:07
Speaker 1: bad look. Terrified of any bad publicity. All these teams
11:12
Speaker 1: are and so they probably have three of their interns
11:14
Speaker 1: who are always on the social media, and there's all
11:17
Speaker 1: this is bad. It makes us look bad. And so
11:19
Speaker 1: they went on there and they tested the rage meter, said,
11:23
Speaker 1: where does this is this trending topic? It is a
11:24
Speaker 1: trending topic. Oh man, this is bad and we must
11:27
Speaker 1: ban this person. So there you go ban them. Of course,
11:30
Speaker 1: these things, as we pointed out, are impossible to de fallow.
11:36
Speaker 1: Meaning as long as you have somebody else buy the ticket,
11:39
Speaker 1: what are you gonna do A you be like James
11:41
Speaker 1: Dolan and sc scan the crowd and then I don't
11:44
Speaker 1: think that's legal. I believe you'll end up in a
11:48
Speaker 1: lawsuit and then it'll cost you more money. And so
11:50
Speaker 1: good luck on that all right. Now, final fun to
11:53
Speaker 1: send Francisco. We go the Giants and Diamondbacks playing a
11:58
Speaker 1: series this week, and the Giants decided to pick up
12:02
Speaker 1: manager Bob Melvin's contract option for next season. Now, normally
12:07
Speaker 1: we would not talking about this, but I thought it
12:09
Speaker 1: was worthy of some conversation considering the way things have
12:12
Speaker 1: gone for the Giants. So can you read anything into
12:16
Speaker 1: the timing The timing of the Diamondbacks, giving manager Bob
12:21
Speaker 1: Melvin a contract extension just a couple weeks after they
12:24
Speaker 1: acquired Rafael Devers from the Red Sox. So on this one,
12:29
Speaker 1: if you follow the bread crump crumbs, If you follow
12:34
Speaker 1: the bread crumbs, here, Buster Posey is calling the shots, right,
12:37
Speaker 1: He's the big shot, he's the GM and all that.
12:41
Speaker 1: So this is old school, this is how they used
12:43
Speaker 1: to operate in baseball. The Giants are scuffling. If they
12:47
Speaker 1: were a fish, they'd be the flounder. They're floundering, the Giants,
12:51
Speaker 1: and so they're playing like they collectively hit the snooze
12:54
Speaker 1: button all of a sudden after a pretty good start,
12:56
Speaker 1: couple of months of good baseball. Now, if you go
12:59
Speaker 1: back to last month, the San Francisco Giants are under
13:04
Speaker 1: five hundred the last thirty plus games. They recently got
13:09
Speaker 1: smoked by the Marlins and then went to Chicago and
13:13
Speaker 1: played like clowns against the White Sox over the weekend.
13:18
Speaker 1: So they're bleeding games in the standings to the Doyers.
13:22
Speaker 1: And it's like a tradition this time of the year.
13:25
Speaker 1: And the Giants find themselves in the midst of this foggy,
13:31
Speaker 1: mediocre period of baseball. So what do the higher ups do?
13:35
Speaker 1: Old school extend the manager. We support Bob Melvin. We
13:39
Speaker 1: support this guy. That is the dreaded vote of confidence.
13:42
Speaker 1: It is the baseball version of the boss calling you
13:46
Speaker 1: into the office, calling you to the carpet, and it's like,
13:50
Speaker 1: we really believe in your leadership, we really think you're
13:53
Speaker 1: a great leader. And then they hand you a cardboard
13:56
Speaker 1: box and say you have thirty minutes to get all
13:58
Speaker 1: your knick knacks and all your stuff and please leave
14:01
Speaker 1: the building and if not, we're going to call security.
14:03
Speaker 1: I've had that happen to me, as you heard the
14:05
Speaker 1: show multiple times. So Bob Melvin does do I think
14:09
Speaker 1: Bob Melvin is the problem? No? I don't do I
14:11
Speaker 1: think Bob Melvin is the reason the Giants suck right
14:14
Speaker 1: now the last month. No, but I know he's not
14:17
Speaker 1: the solution. He doesn't have the answers. We know that,
14:21
Speaker 1: and so he's not the problem. But he's not the solution.
14:24
Speaker 1: So he's somewhere in the middle. And the Giants hired
14:27
Speaker 1: him because he was the adult in the room. He
14:29
Speaker 1: was going to bring order and make this a professional
14:34
Speaker 1: outfit that plays baseball the right way. And the Giants
14:38
Speaker 1: over the last month have been waiting through the baseball
14:42
Speaker 1: version of oatmeal, meaning the way they are playing right now,
14:46
Speaker 1: especially on offense for the most part the Giants, it's
14:49
Speaker 1: like oatmeal. It's thick, bland and hard to swallow. That's
14:54
Speaker 1: the that's the Giants and the way they played recently,
14:58
Speaker 1: and it's the front office saying not Bob Melvin's fault.
15:01
Speaker 1: We support Bob Melvin while secretly whispering, but if this
15:04
Speaker 1: keeps going the way it's going in the rest of
15:07
Speaker 1: July and August and September, then we are throwing you
15:10
Speaker 1: overboard into McCovey cove before next season. Period, hard stop, period,
15:16
Speaker 1: hard stop. It is the Bean Mallord Show. You want
15:19
Speaker 1: to comment on any of that, you can join us
15:20

Speaker 1: vacated the building. He did bring a lot of gifts,
15:37
Speaker 1: which was very kind of him to do. I've not
15:39

22:08
Speaker 1: When baseball is at its greatest, people go to watch
22:11
Speaker 1: the starting pitcher. It's like a boxer is like a boxer, Eddie.
22:15
Speaker 1: Right back in the day, like you go to see
22:17
Speaker 1: a boxer and a dominant starting pitcher, and all these teams,
22:21
Speaker 1: they all make the same excuse. Well, it's not our fault.
22:23
Speaker 1: It starts in college, it starts in high school. We'll
22:25
Speaker 1: fix it, all right, fix it and make it a priority.
22:29
Speaker 1: Give the guy that goes along in the game more money, right, Eddie,
22:34

23:02
Speaker 1: he said, he's so he better be very good.
23:04
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, here we go. In October second, nineteen twenty
23:10
Speaker 3: was the last triple header. It involved the Pittsburgh team
23:14
Speaker 3: and the Cincinnati team. They was playing at triple header.
23:18
Speaker 3: Some standings and weather and all that. Uh, thumbs up
23:21
Speaker 3: with thumbs down. But maybe this team is getting the
23:23
Speaker 3: triple header during the season.
23:25
Speaker 1: No, I'm gonna go thumbs down on that a little much.
23:29
Speaker 1: I think they should have double headers on holidays, they
23:31
Speaker 1: should play double headers. But yeah, I know it seems
23:36
Speaker 1: like triple headers a little much, a little a little.
23:38
Speaker 3: Too much, too much, too much.
23:39
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go thumbs down on that. What about you, Eddie? Okay,
23:43
Speaker 1: you go thumbs up and down, thumbs down, thumbs down. Yeah, yeh,
23:46
Speaker 1: it does too like twos. I've been to some double headers,
23:49
Speaker 1: believe it or not, and it was okay. I was
23:51
Speaker 1: into if you're into it, I feel like three. Yeah,
23:55
Speaker 1: that's pushing it like two's pushing it for a lot.
23:58
Speaker 1: Like baseball. Remember when during the pandemic, like when they
24:01
Speaker 1: had double headers, they were like seven innings because they
24:04
Speaker 1: didn't want to play the.
24:04
Speaker 3: Full game exactly exactly.
24:06
Speaker 1: Because somehow you wouldn't get sick if you played seven,
24:08
Speaker 1: but if you played nine, you definitely get sick. You know,
24:12
Speaker 1: big problem. Okay, last one, last one thrumbs up, thumbs
24:15
Speaker 1: down at.
24:17
Speaker 3: Basmall fashion here baseball fat all right. As far as
24:22
Speaker 3: the city select uniforms they want to try to sell
24:27
Speaker 3: you a tank top thumbs up the thumbs down for
24:30
Speaker 3: the Tank Top City Select.
24:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna go thumbs down. I know why they're
24:35
Speaker 1: doing it, you know, and the Nike people that make
24:38
Speaker 1: the uniforms that people don't buy ten different jerseys. The
24:42
Speaker 1: jerseys don't change that much, so the only way to
24:45
Speaker 1: move product they have to come up with this other stuff.
24:47
Speaker 1: I'd say ninety seven percent of the City Connect jerseys suck,
24:51
Speaker 1: so they're pretty bad.
24:54
Speaker 4: Not all.
24:54
Speaker 1: I mean there's some that are okay, Eddie. I mean
24:56
Speaker 1: there's some that are right, but most of them are terrible. So, uh,
25:00
Speaker 1: I wouldn't. I wouldn't spend a penny from Benny versus
25:03
Speaker 1: the pat would not spend a penny on that stuff.
25:05
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go thumbs thumbs down. Yeah, all right,

26:02
Speaker 1: there I go, thank Ben. Okay, all right, my god.
26:05
Speaker 1: Tammy is in Montana. Hello, Tammy.
26:09
Speaker 5: Hey Ben. I have to say that Mary is a
26:11
Speaker 5: better producer. At least she doesn't interrupt you when you're talking.
26:17
Speaker 3: Tom.
26:18
Speaker 1: You're on the warpath here, Tammy, you were on the warpath,
26:20
Speaker 1: my friend. Tammy fired up.
26:24
Speaker 5: Out why Lorena does not play certain songs like Jayscoop
26:29
Speaker 5: song for James. It's because she's not mentioned in them.
26:32
Speaker 1: No, I promise you that's not It's just Coop so lazy.
26:36
Speaker 1: He won't put the song in I've told him to
26:38
Speaker 1: do it. He thinks I'm kidding. I mean, I'm being
26:41
Speaker 1: honest with you. I've tell him to do things he
26:42
Speaker 1: doesn't do him. So I've tried to get him to
26:44
Speaker 1: put the song in. He refuses to do it. It takes
26:46
Speaker 1: about five minutes of his time to do it. He's
26:49
Speaker 1: chosen not to put that song in. So it's I mean,
26:52
Speaker 1: we can't play it. It's not in the system. It's
26:54
Speaker 1: only in his email. If it was in the system,
26:57
Speaker 1: we'll be able to play it. There's nothing new with Lorena.
26:59
Speaker 1: She would play I would tell her to play it.
27:01
Speaker 1: She would play it. But it's not like Mary can't
27:03
Speaker 1: play it because it's not in the system. So there's
27:05
Speaker 1: no way to play it.
27:06
Speaker 3: So well, yeah, I don't know about that.
27:09
Speaker 5: Orina likes to hear her name repeated. So anyway, one
27:14
Speaker 5: last thing, because I don't know how you handle it. Then,
27:16
Speaker 5: I don't know how you handle and deal with Bline
27:19
Speaker 5: Scott without going absolutely insane.
27:21
Speaker 3: And well they do.
27:22
Speaker 1: They do pay me, so that is part of the reason, Tammy.
27:25
Speaker 1: They pay me to this, So if they didn't pay me,
27:28
Speaker 1: there would be a problem.
27:29
Speaker 5: But yeah, so well he just seems very angry, you know,
27:33
Speaker 5: being a man or dressed and as a woman. He
27:36
Speaker 5: needs to find something that makes him happy.
27:38
Speaker 1: So well he does. This show makes blind Scott happy.
27:41
Speaker 1: This show makes good.
27:42
Speaker 5: He never sounds happy. I think he could be a furry.
27:46
Speaker 5: If he was a furry, he might be happy.
27:49
Speaker 1: Don't put don't put that out in the universe, Tammy.
27:51
Speaker 1: We don't. I mean, come on, we got we we
27:53
Speaker 1: would be happy. Well, Ferg dog is a furry, you
27:55
Speaker 1: know dog.
27:57
Speaker 5: Yeah, well we'd be happy because he'd be behind a
27:59
Speaker 5: map least.
28:01
Speaker 1: Okay, all right you are man Tam, thank you? All right,
28:04
Speaker 1: Man Tam is getting ready for the octagon. She wants
28:07
Speaker 1: to get in that octagon. She wants what she wants
28:09
Speaker 1: to do. Man alive. All right, let's well, don't we
28:13
Speaker 1: see Uh, let's just see this guy wants to play Tree.
28:16
Speaker 1: You want to play the game Tree in Chicago? Would
28:17
Speaker 1: you like to play the game Tree? You're down with it?
28:21
Speaker 1: All right? Hold on, say here we hit that button there, Mary,
28:24
Speaker 1: hit that button for the big game show here. We're
28:25
Speaker 1: gonna have too much or not enough. We have a
28:28
Speaker 1: big highly produced open here were and play this and
28:36
Speaker 1: all right, let's do it here we go too much
28:39
Speaker 1: or not enough, and we have a man. If you
28:43
Speaker 1: get a package delivered in Chicago, it likely was in
28:46
Speaker 1: the back of the truck that Tree is driving around
28:49
Speaker 1: the Windy City and hello, Tree, you're gonna play the game.
28:52
Speaker 1: I know you didn't call for this, but you're gonna play.
28:54
Speaker 1: You're gonna be good sport, right of course, all right,
28:57
Speaker 1: but how's how's a lot of treating in Chicago? Everything good?
29:00
Speaker 1: Good man at ol'd hair Airport right now, just doing
29:03
Speaker 1: what I do, beautiful. I one time got stuck in
29:06
Speaker 1: a lightning storm at O'Hare Airport. This is in the
29:08
Speaker 1: years before they changed the rules, and I spent Okay,
29:12
Speaker 1: I think it was six hours. They had left the
29:15
Speaker 1: gate and we were waiting to take off, and then
29:19
Speaker 1: they said that the airport was closed and it was
29:22
Speaker 1: closed for like six hours, and we sat in that plane.
29:24
Speaker 1: It was a nightmare. Anyway, anytime I go to O'Hare,
29:28
Speaker 1: I think of that obvious reasons. Okay, yeah, well, let's
29:30
Speaker 1: play the game. Tree is in Chicago picking up some deliveries.
29:33
Speaker 1: You're gonna get three right to win, three right to win?
29:36
Speaker 1: Are you ready? All right? Question number one, Number So
29:41
Speaker 1: the Milwaukee Bucks just signed Miles Turner, coming off an
29:45
Speaker 1: NBA Finals appearance. In the Finals, across the seven game series,
29:48
Speaker 1: Turner made twenty five total baskets. Is that too much
29:52
Speaker 1: or not enough? Tree in Chicago.
29:55
Speaker 3: Mouths didn't play too good.
29:57
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say not enough, all right, believe not. The
30:00
Speaker 1: answer is too much. He made barely over that, barely
30:05
Speaker 1: under that. He made twenty three shots, twenty three totals
30:12
Speaker 1: under one. That's all right. You have more questions our
30:15
Speaker 1: question number two. After adding DK Metcalf and Aaron Rogers
30:21
Speaker 1: this offseason, the Pittsburgh Steelers have just recently traded for
30:25
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey. In his entire career with Jacksonville and the
30:31
Speaker 1: Rams and the Dolphins, Ramsey has twenty two interceptions. Is
30:35
Speaker 1: that too much or not enough? Too much you sure
30:42
Speaker 1: about that?
30:43
Speaker 3: Don't go with too much?
30:45
Speaker 1: You're gonna go with too much? You sure? Let's find out. No,
30:50
Speaker 1: that's not enough twenty I tried to talk into it.
30:55
Speaker 1: Twenty four passes. He's intercepted twenty four passes his nine
30:59
Speaker 1: year career. So again, it was close, but there's not
31:02
Speaker 1: enough more than twenty two. Question number three Darren Waller
31:07
Speaker 1: is coming out of a brief one year retirement. He
31:11
Speaker 1: was traded from the Giants to the Dolphins. He'll be
31:13
Speaker 1: playing in Miami. Just before this year off. Waller played
31:18
Speaker 1: one season for the Giants. In that loan season, he
31:21
Speaker 1: caught just three total touchdown passes. Is that too much
31:26
Speaker 1: or not enough?
31:28
Speaker 3: Oh? Man?
31:30
Speaker 1: He was terrible that year. Yeah, he was pretty bid.
31:32
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say under three because I
31:36
Speaker 1: remember the game. When do you think that's too much?
31:38
Speaker 1: All right, let's see is that too much? There you go?
31:41
Speaker 1: You got one? Right? How about that? I got only
31:44
Speaker 1: one touchdown in twelve games Darren Waller for the Giants.
31:48
Speaker 1: So you're on the board.
31:50
Speaker 3: He was so bad that he's so bad he didn't retire.
31:54
Speaker 1: He got suspended from the NFL. He was so bad,
31:55
Speaker 1: but they said he was retired. But no, no, All right,
31:58
Speaker 1: let's go to question number four. And you're listening to
32:00
Speaker 1: the tree. He's at O'Hare Airport picking up some deliveries
32:04
Speaker 1: right now. Question number four got to get this right
32:06
Speaker 1: to stay alive. Jeremiah Smith spoke to the Athletic. That's
32:11
Speaker 1: the wide receiver from the Ohio State University and gave
32:16
Speaker 1: a money quote. He says he promised he won't lose
32:20
Speaker 1: another game to Michigan in the past. The season's loss
32:24
Speaker 1: to the Wold rains. He had sixty receiving yards in
32:29
Speaker 1: the big game. There is that too much or not enough?
32:34
Speaker 3: When they lost the game? I think sixty yards was
32:38
Speaker 3: too much.
32:38
Speaker 1: Okay, let's find out you're right, stay alive. If not,
32:41
Speaker 1: you lose, let's find out here.
32:43
Speaker 2: You got your role about that?
32:44
Speaker 1: Were even up too much? I only had thirty five
32:48
Speaker 1: receiving yards in that game. He did have a touchdown.
32:51
Speaker 1: So here it comes down to question number five. Will
32:56
Speaker 1: the tree get higher in the sky or will we
33:00
Speaker 1: up the tree down right now? We say well, we
33:02
Speaker 1: say timber, or we say you're gonna win our question five.
33:05
Speaker 1: This is Game seven of the World Series. This is
33:08
Speaker 1: Game seven of the Finals. NBA Finals is Super Bowl.
33:11
Speaker 1: Here we go, it's all online. Are you ready? Tree?
33:14
Speaker 3: Alright, let's go, Here we go.
33:16
Speaker 1: The man sounds very confident, very calm. The New York
33:21
Speaker 1: Knicks are reportedly bringing back Mike Brown for a second interview.
33:27
Speaker 1: He's definitely an experienced candidate, having been an NBA coach
33:30
Speaker 1: for ten seasons. Is that too much or not enough
33:36
Speaker 1: for Mike Brown?
33:39
Speaker 3: Oh man, NB your coach for ten seasons?
33:42
Speaker 1: Think about it, King Laker, Yeah, that's right. You know
33:47
Speaker 1: every team's coached. That's good. Uh Man, I'm gonna go
33:53
Speaker 1: with ten seasons is too much? You sure about that?
33:56
Speaker 1: You positive? You want to go too much? You don't
33:58
Speaker 1: want to change that answer.
34:00
Speaker 3: I thank you do a reverse psychology. So yes, I'm
34:02
Speaker 3: gonna stick with my asses.
34:03
Speaker 1: So you don't think I like you. You think I'm
34:04
Speaker 1: trying to tell you that to lose. All right, let's
34:06
Speaker 1: find out your final answer is what.
34:10
Speaker 3: Ten season is too much?
34:11
Speaker 1: Find out you lost? It's not enough. No, I actually
34:18
Speaker 1: liked you. I wanted you to win, but no, So
34:20
Speaker 1: instead Tree, we're gonna give you you do not win,
34:22
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna give you a lifetime supply nothing. Tree.
34:25
Speaker 1: So whenever you want nothing, you know, your birthday holidays,

36:20
Speaker 1: Ian Roddy.
36:21
Speaker 4: All right, so first question here for you, Ben. Famed
36:24
Speaker 4: YouTuber turn boxer Jake Paul defeated thirty nine year old
36:27
Speaker 4: Julio Caesar Chavez Junior via unanimous decision a few days ago,
36:31
Speaker 4: making yet another crazy victory over a long pastest prime
36:35
Speaker 4: former boxing champion. So now the WBA, which is one
36:38
Speaker 4: of the sports Big four governing bodies, they've added Paul
36:42
Speaker 4: to its World cruiserweight rankings, putting him a number fourteen.
36:46
Speaker 4: So none of the other three big, big governing bodies
36:49
Speaker 4: have done that yet you are the first ones. But Ben,
36:51
Speaker 4: do you like the decision to add Paul to the
36:53
Speaker 4: official World rankings or is it not really?
36:55
Speaker 1: No, No, it's ridiculous. Listen, boxing is hanging out, it's
36:58
Speaker 1: on fumes. I used to love boxing growing up. It's
37:01
Speaker 1: the UFC is kicking their ass every single day of
37:03
Speaker 1: the week. It's embarrassing for boxing. They still have this
37:07
Speaker 1: alphabet soup, these four different things. They no one has
37:10
Speaker 1: the balls to consolidate boxing the w A, WBA. As
37:15
Speaker 1: you say, you talk about losing credibility, it's ridiculous. Number two,
37:19
Speaker 1: Jake Paul is a grifter, He's a carpetbagger, he's a
37:22
Speaker 1: side show. To give him any kind of credibility is embarrassing.
37:27
Speaker 1: It's ridiculous. He's fighting tomato cans on a regular basis.
37:31
Speaker 1: And you know there are many on the internet. I'm
37:33
Speaker 1: not one of these people saying, don't sue me that
37:35
Speaker 1: claim on these these are all scripted fights. I I
37:39
Speaker 1: don't know whether that's true or not. I just things
37:40
Speaker 1: I've read on the internet. But it's it's embarrassing to
37:42
Speaker 1: make this seem legitimate. Bad job by the w BA next.
37:47
Speaker 4: Yeah, so you alluded to it in the last segment there,
37:49
Speaker 4: But the athletics man in Navara release Blair recent recently
37:54
Speaker 4: release a feature on Ohio States the paywall at the
37:58
Speaker 4: Athletic Yeah yeah, yeah so, and it's Smith detailed his
38:02
Speaker 4: hate for Michigan, how crazy it was losing to them
38:04
Speaker 4: last year, and in the article, he also promised on
38:06
Speaker 4: the record that he will not lose another game to them.
38:10
Speaker 4: That'd be the next two years before he has the
38:12
Speaker 4: NFL at first, So, Ben, do you buy Smith's guarantee
38:14
Speaker 4: that the Buckeyes won't lose the next time?
38:16
Speaker 1: But what did he put on He's gonna cut a
38:18
Speaker 1: toe off or a finger? If he did not specify
38:20
Speaker 1: whether he's got a real bet dead and listen, what's
38:22
Speaker 1: he supposed to say? The most amazing thing about Jeremiah
38:25
Speaker 1: Smith is he is making, if the Internet is right,
38:29
Speaker 1: four point two million his his salary at Ohio State
38:33
Speaker 1: four point two million in nil money. Aren't you supposed
38:37
Speaker 1: to win every game when you were When you're at
38:39
Speaker 1: four point two million dollars, He's third in all of
38:43
Speaker 1: college football in nil money, which is amazing. That's wild
38:48
Speaker 1: to me. Uh, he's a great he's a great talent.
38:51
Speaker 1: He's going to be drafted in the top two or
38:53
Speaker 1: three of the NFL draft, assuming he doesn't fall apart
38:56
Speaker 1: before he can be drafted and all that stuff. But
38:59
Speaker 1: he has to say they're gonna beat Michi. If you're
39:01
Speaker 1: at Ohio State, it's like it's like being at sc
39:04
Speaker 1: and saying, well, we're not gonna I think we'll lose
39:06
Speaker 1: to Notre Dame this year or UCLA. You can't say that,
39:09
Speaker 1: all right, I know you're an old trojan.
39:11
Speaker 4: Next Yesterday, the Dolphins traded Jalen Ramsey and tight end
39:16
Speaker 4: John new Smith to the Steelers for Minka Fitzpatrick and
39:18
Speaker 4: a Day three pickswap so Ben, who do you think
39:21
Speaker 4: won the trade?
39:22
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna discount John new Smith for a second,
39:26
Speaker 1: just on the defensive back. For the safety, I'm gonna
39:29
Speaker 1: give that to Jalen Ramsey. I don't think he's even closed.
39:32
Speaker 1: Like Ramsey, he is tiptoeing towards the end of his
39:35
Speaker 1: career because of the age thing. He's still got a
39:37
Speaker 1: little fuel left in the tank. If you look at
39:40
Speaker 1: Minka Fitzpatrick in Pittsburgh last year, he allowed a career
39:45
Speaker 1: high opposing passer rating the numbers across the board, like
39:49
Speaker 1: he was so much worse than he had been, like
39:52
Speaker 1: he fell into an abyss there in Pittsburgh. And so
39:56
Speaker 1: it's not surprising that they traded. And maybe you'll find
39:58
Speaker 1: the fountain of youth. As you know, the found of
40:00
Speaker 1: Youth is in Florida. Ponce de Leon somewhere in Florida
40:03
Speaker 1: has the fund. I think it's in Tampa actually, but
40:05
Speaker 1: but no, I'm gonna I'm gonna say the Steelers won
40:07
Speaker 1: the trade. I mean, John O. Smith is that great,
40:10
Speaker 1: but he's he's better and Jalen Ramsey's better than this Patrick.
40:13
Speaker 1: All right there it is mallor to the third degree Ian,
40:16
Speaker 1: How did we do crunching the numbers?
40:19
Speaker 2: Here?
40:19
Speaker 4: And yep, yeap looks like he has a win.
40:23
Speaker 3: Look at that bunner on the Lord another win.
40:27
Speaker 1: I'm the all time wins king. No one else
