• 1:45
  Speaker 4: Baseball season lead, and we go where the news of
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: the day takes us, and that would be Chavez Ravine,
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: better known mis Dodger stating the hill over top downtown
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: Los Angeles where show he.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: Oh Tani went cup pow.
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: No, that wasn't the longest home run. It wasn't the
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: longest home run in the world, but it was a
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: tie breaking walk off dinger in the ninth inning on
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: the bobble Head Night.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: More on that later, Mite talk about people being addicted, And.
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: Just like that, the Dodgers unbeaten streak continues to start
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: the year, the big Blue wrecking Crew over the pathetic
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: Atlanta Braves. Those are the Atlanta Braves of my youth.
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: The Braves lose against six to five, the Blue Crew
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: spotting Atlanta five runs and then clawed back. And I
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: can only imagine the Atlanta Braves broadcasters who must have thought, oh,
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: five nothing. You know how rare it is to blow
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: a five nothing leads. Last time I remember a team
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: blowing a five nothing lead, it was the New York
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: Yankees in Game five of the World Series. I'm just saying,
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: so the Dodgers are eight. No, if that sounds good,
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: well it is. It's great to start ever by a
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: defending World Series champions. So I as we'll just stop
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: the season right now and just give the Dodgers another championship.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: I'm told they will not be doing that.
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: But six of the dodgers eight wins have been agonizing
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: for the opponent. They've fallen behind, they've come back and
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: won those games. And the great Rick Monday mo Monday
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: back when I was allowed out at Dodger games, that
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: was buddies with Rick Monday. And Rick has said that
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: the problem the teams have playing the Dodgers is the
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: games are too long. If the games were five innings,
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: they would have a shot. But that six, seventh, eighth,
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: ninth inning, that's the problem for the teams playing the Dodgers.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: The game's just too long. Now.
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: However, as much as I would like to give you
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: Dodger propaganda, you gotta understand where my roots are.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: You understand if you've been with me on the Overnight Show,
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: that the better story is in the losing locker room
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: and as I check my notes here, there is no
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: better story in baseball right now than Atlanta if you
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: like the agony of defeat.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: The Atlanta Braves starting their.
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: Season on the West Coast, beautiful San Diego, America's finest city,
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: and then driving up I five to Chavez Ravine Dodger Stadium,
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: and the Atlanta Braves with their tail between their legs,
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: getting on a chartered flight, a luxury cross country flight
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: back to the South, and they are ohen seven for
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: the first time since they opened to nine. It wasn't
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: I say, it wasn't that long ago. It's been almost
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: ten years. Twenty sixteen was the last time. Holy Tommy
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: and Atlanta.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: No team in Major League Baseball history has ever made
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: the playoffs after starting oh and seven.
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: It has never happened.
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: In fact, it's been over forty years since a team
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: that started oh and seven finished with a winning record,
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: So even that hasn't happened in a minute, in a
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: pretty long minute. That's by my math, two generations since
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: that happened. Now, the Natives are restless, as you might imagine,
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: the fans calling for manager Brian Snicker to be fired.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: They want a.
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: Pound of flesh, and they hadn't even played a home game.
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: Their home opener is on Friday in Atlanta. So let
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: us discuss the question for the esteem panel as we
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: go to Dante's Inferno. Is manager Brian Snicker in danger
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: of being whacked by the Braves? So I've got shovel,
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: chateau and riverboat gamblers, and we will put all of
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: these things together and we're gonna make Sweet Loue lemon
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: pepper wings. My good friend Rob Parker tells me that
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: there is a ballet in Atlanta that has the greatest
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: wings there and just a really good show, good dancers
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: there at that ballet. All right, So a to answer
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: the question, is manager Brian Snicker in danger of being
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: whacked by the Braves? You do not have to be
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: a baseball savant to know the answer is three letters.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: It's can I get a Y? Can I get an E?
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: And can I get an S? Yes.
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: In the history of the Braves, every manager who has
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: started zero and seven or worse has been pink slipped
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: within a year, most of them in season. Now Brian Snicker,
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: by my analysis, I took out the Van diagram here.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: Now Snicker has a little more wiggle room, just a little.
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: More wiggle room here, because he was the manager of
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: the World Series winning twenty twenty one Braves. They were
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: really America's team that year. Remember they beat the Cheatings
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: one one thousand and two one thousand holes in that
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: World Series. Now that goodwill only buys you a little more.
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: Time, just a teeny weeny.
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: Bit of more time, like this homestead. All right, Braves
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: are going home.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: They get the home opener on Friday.
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: And if they get mollywopped at home, and this thing continues,
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: and we get up to oh and ten and oh
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: and eleven and twelve, and at that point it's turn
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: at the last, the parties over.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: Bye bye.
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: He'll be excommunicated. Somebody has to pay the price. Now,
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: typically in modern baseball, they don't do that. That's old school.
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: That's when I was a kid. You just fire managers.
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: You had a bad two weeks, fire the manager. That's
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: how they did it. The nerds don't. They don't do
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: that because the nerds just have middlemen. The nerds don't
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: care because if you just fire the manager, you're just
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: going to replace the manager with another yes person. Now
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: that being said, that being said, the malor advice. The
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: think tank has been activated to help the Atlanta baseball team.
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: So if you find yourself in a hole, and make
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: no mistake, the Atlanta Braves find themselves in all. So
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: if you find yourself in a hole, you put the
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: shovel down and stop digging. You just tossed the shovel away,
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: and stop digging. And may I recommend a nice sturdy
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: ladder a rope that would also help get yourself out
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: of the hole. But really it's just baby steps, right,
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: baby steps. I'm gonna be Benny Brightside. Now I'm not
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: in Atlanta Braves, So now I am of the generation.
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: I grew up watching the superstation in the afternoon and
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: I'd scurry home from school.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: I was a bad student. Watched the Atlanta Braves and they.
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: Were terrible, But I watched them because I like baseball
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: and it was the thing to do before the internet,
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: and so I watched them a lot. But I'm not
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: a Braves fan, but I am Benny bright Side. This
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: will be a historical turnaround the Atlanta Braves.
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: Mark my words.
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: The Atlanta Braves are going to the playoffs, even despite
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: starting zero and seven, and no team has ever done
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: that has ever made the playoffs after starting on seven.
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: It has also never been easier to make the playoffs
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: when starting on seven. You see baseball keeps adding more
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: teams to the playoffs. There are now two wildcard teams.
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: The Braves have only played four point three percent of
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: the schedule. Four point three percent of the schedule. That's
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: it you need. By my math, the sweet spot number
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: is ninety wins. Eighty nine wins gets you in the
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: playoffs last year, but that was last year. So you
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: got to find a way to win ninety games. And
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: there are so many crap bag teams in baseball that
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: aren't even trying. There are certainly, at the very minimum
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: sixty wins right there. So you got to win another
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: thirty against halfway decent opponents. That is more than manageable.
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: Now turning the page, the Dodgers, the talk of baseball,
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: the machine, the juggernaut. Very annoying to the trolls who
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: used to bust my balls about the Dodgers back in
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: the day.
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: You got no material, no material.
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: One of the stories I saw about the Dodgers, there
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: was a lengthy write up behind a paywall on the
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: Athletic The old gray Lady there owns it the New
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: York Times, but the Dodgers Mookie Bets. There was a
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: story about who's the greatest athlete between Mookie Bets and Otani.
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: Mookie Bets shockingly said that he is a better athlete
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: than show. Hey, Otani says, not even close. So how
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: does that one strike you? So right away You're like, well,
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: Mookie's pumping his chest out right. He's a two sports star.
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: He's a baseball star and a bowling star.
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: Hello bowling.
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: Now, I realize bowling is the number one participation sport.
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: It is also done while consuming massive amounts.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: Of pizza and beer.
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: But I would argue, deep down, does it even matter
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: who's better? It's it's like picking between a mega yacht.
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: Do I want to go in my mega yacht or
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: my chateau on the French Riviera. Either way, you're doing
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: all right. You're gonna have jaw dropping Mediterranean views. You're
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: doing pretty good. Now, Shoo Tani is my my pick
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: to click on this right Shoeyotan is the guy who
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: can pull you out of a burning car, can then
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: throw you on his back, and then run and jump
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: through an obstacle course while carrying you on his back
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: and then swim across a large body of water.
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: Like the Mississippi River.
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: And since everything is a reality show, why doesn't Netflix
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: the way Who's a Better Athlete off season challenge a
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: docu series between Mookie Bets and Shoeyotan.
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: I'm sure there'll be ten people that will watch that,
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: all right.
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: Anyway, last word, money, money, many big money, big money
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: flying around. If you have not noticed in the last
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: twenty four hours or so, Jackson Merrill of the undefeated
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: padres to tell Marte.
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: Of the Diamondbacks, who just beat up the Yankees.
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: Again, and Christian Campbell, who's been in the Major leagues
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: for a week for the Red Sox, have all agreed
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: to multi year, massive contract extensions. So what does all
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: that say to you? Was it all young players? Some
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: have been successful, more successful. Campbell's barely played in the
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: major leagues, Merrill had great success last year, to tell
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: Marte's put up some big numbers early in his career
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: for Arizona.
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: So it tells us you got a lot of riverboat
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: gamblers in baseball.
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: It's all the rates, the Triple Crown, it's cost efficiency,
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: its team stability.
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: It's fan engagement.
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: Now you lock in the young players, you have them
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: at a fixed rate, and the argument is you're gonna save.
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: Money for the long run.
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: You build your core players and then fill out the
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: roster around the core players. And fans love homegrown town. Oh,
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: they get so horny for that. Now the entire industry, though,
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: has gone this way. It's a power of group think.
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: And I'm convinced they all got together and they watched
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: the same webinar and it's like the Lion King a
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: COONa matata, a COONa matata.
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: I'm talking about Ronald Lacuna Junior.
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: Remember he signed that eight year contract for one hundred
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: million dollars with the Bravos. It was twenty nineteen, I believe,
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: I think I'm right on that. Anyway, the deal averages
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: like twelve and a half million a year, and that's
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: chump change in baseball. And if not for that deal,
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: Akuna would be making thirty five forty forty five million
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: dollars a year. But as always these contracts, the latest
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: one is given out. It is risk versus reward. And
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: I gave you three examples. Jackson Merrill could tell Marte
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: and Christian Campbell. One of those guys will be fine,
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: one of them will be average, and one of them
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: will be terrible and won't make it and have you
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: success over the full contract.
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: The risk is always that a player will not live.
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: Up to expectations or they will just have their career
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: ravaged by injury. The reward is obviously that you have
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: the next Ronald Lacuna Junior and you have an MVP
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: and the player is a star. And it's all about
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: the nerdnalytics better known as analytics and more, minimizing risk.
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: And all this stuff.
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: And they throw that out there and people get all
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: excitedn't they. Well, if the computer says it, it must be.
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: It must be. Try computers right there, it's in the computer. Okay,
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: thank you very much.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: And our lead this hour from the Queen's Things are
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: getting naughty in the Natty. You see what I did there,
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: called the natty, And then you mix the word noddy
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: in and you put the two together.
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: And then it sounds kind of interesting.
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: So if you haven't been following. I know there'll be
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: a quiz later, perhaps not. Let me give you the
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: condensed recap, the thumbnail recap of the events. So there
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: is a defensive end who puts up really good stats
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: on a dog food defense. Trey Hendrickson, who came out
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: chastising the Bengals executive vice president Katie Blackburn and her
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: recent comments on his contract negotiation with the Cincinnati Bungals,
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: now Hendrickson, framing his emotion as disappointed and confused.
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: There was disappointment and confusion.
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: Now Blackburn, here's what she said this week at the
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: NFL sore A in West Palm Beach. At the Breakers
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: Resort were the cheapest rooms fifteen hundred dollars a night.
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: So she said, I think he, meaning Trey Hendrickson, should
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: be happy at certain rates that maybe he doesn't think
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: he'd be happy at. Quote continues, I think some of
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: it is on him to be happy at some point
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: and if he's not, she stated, you know that's what
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: holds it up sometimes. So you know it takes him
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: to say yes something. And also we have all the
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: respect in the world for him. Lost that ind at
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: the end. Now Hendrickson responded on a YouTuber show, The
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: Fat McAfee YouTube show, saying that communication has been poor
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: over the last couple of months, and then he cranked
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: up the volume a little bit. He says, I would
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: have been willing to sign three years ago. Hendrickson said
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: two years ago, and this year it was communicated, according
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: to Hendrickson to him that we would get something done
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: this year. I kind of treat it like a house
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: now the players said, house values have gone up close.
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: Quote all right, so let us discuss Trey Hendrickson saying
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: that the Bengals big shot this Katie Blackburn heard comments
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: about his contract were disappointing and confusing. The verbiage he used,
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: can you please decode this message? So my observations, I've
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: got Spengali, effect, mountaineer, and fruitcake, and we will combine
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: all of these things together, all of them, and we
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: are going to make a wonderful, wonderful fruit pie is
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: what we're gonna make, all right, So num burr, that's right,
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: numb Burn.
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: So Kennie Blackburn is.
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: The woman who's really running the Bengals, and she launched
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: in to the opening salvo in this So she started
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: the fire essentially calling Hendrickson greedy, and that opened up
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: the floodgates. And so now the player is counterattacking if
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: you're keeping score at home or at work, and the
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: Bengals brass again igniting the spark, and now the wildfire
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: is expanding and the player is coming in here and
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: he's attempting to use the bully Pulpid and the people
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: that are fanboys and trying to weaponize the fanboys with
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: these Bengali effects. Okay, so it's a mind trick where
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: you deputize the zombie Bengal fan base to put pressure
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: on ownership to pay the money. Right, and Hendrickson is
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: he's pointing out that these contracts have surge.
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: It's hard to argue with that. And so where are
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: we at right now?
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: We do the show today, and today, at this hour,
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: we are three weeks away from the NFL Draft, and
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: we are at impasse. And every key indicator, exit polling,
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: is pointing towards a trade in the days leading up
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: to or the night of the opening of the NFL
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: Draft that Henderson will be repackaged and will not.
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: Play another down for the Cincinnati football team.
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: Now page two to fill Ladelphia, we go where Fats
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: and Philly lights himself on fire and screams our name.
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: So some recent comments from the czar of the Eagles.
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: Have gone viral. They've gone viral.
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: How He Roast, the general manager of the Birds, has
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: publicly stated that the team has a firm policy against
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: scouting or even considering players who have had a history
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: of domestic violence. Now, Rossman emphasized the GM there in Philadelphia.
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: He said it's a non negotiable stance for the ORGANIZAA Sean,
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: the Eagles executive, said that he won't even watch or
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: evaluate players, regardless of their talent or how much time
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: has passed since said incident. Rossman framed it as a
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: core value of the reigning Super Bowl champion Eagles, noting
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: that he wants to maintain a locker room environment he'd
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: feel comfortable with his own children entering without having to
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: avoid certain players. So the question here on page two,
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: how would you classify GM Howie Rossman saying the Eagles
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: are not interested. They won't even scout any players that
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: have have a domestic violence claim against them on their history.
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: So here's how I'm gonna frame it.
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: Howie Rossman is a mountaineer, not a West Virginia mountaineer. Instead,
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: he's climbed the moral mountain. He's at the very top
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: of the moral mountain. He's standing on the moral high ground.
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: It is a very righteous stance, good pr He wants
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: the world to know that the Birds have commitment to
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: building a team the right way with high character individual
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: rah rah rah rah. And you do that, you get
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: a lot of pats on the back, a lot of that.
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: Boys get a lot of praise by fans and punits alike.
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: Everyone says, good job by you. But you have to
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: look at these things on a case by case basis.
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: What are you an ogre?
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: You want domestic violence people in your No, I don't.
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: I don't, but you do have to use nuance. And
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: here's why it gets very complicated. And one thing that
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: I've learned as I've gotten older, and there are studies
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: that back this up, that you gotta go case by
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: case because roughly twenty to thirty five percent of reported
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: domestic violence claims are false and those those are the
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: ones involving custody about people get dirty when it gets
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: when children are involved and it's their children, it gets
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: nasty and people will accuse others of horrendous things because
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: they know that they're going to get the benefit of
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: the doubt from from law enforcement, and at least initially
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: they will be an arrest, and then there'll be an
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: investigation to see if the claim has married. So you
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: can't just blindly say, well, this guy had this on
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: the resumetion on the resume. You have to look at
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: the claim to find out whether or not it's got
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: actual some actual foundation to it. But as far as
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: the Eagles having the moral high ground, even that I
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: take with the grain of salt, and the reason my
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: supporting evidence that I'm skeptical is defensive tackle Jalen Carter.
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: Now Jalen Carter was charged with reckless driving and racing
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: in connection with a fatal drag race that killed his
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: college team any, an offensive lineman at Georgia, and a
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: staff member for the Georgia Bulldogs. And the evidence showed
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: that the vehicles were switching lanes, driving opposite lanes in
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: the boondocks of Georgia, and they were going over one
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: hundred miles an hour trying to out distance each other,
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: and then Carter left the scene and the incident occurred
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: hours after the Georgia Bulldogs celebrated their.
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: Back to back national championship.
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: Carter I believe also was not all that truthful when
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: they finally tracked him down. So Howie Rosman's okay with that.
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: He had no problem with his kids hanging out with him.
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: Guy's dad buried and two people are as a result
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: of that. He's okay with that.
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: But he's on the moral high ground all right now.
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: Final point cansa city we go, the city.
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: Of Fountains where Patrick Mahomes.
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: And the Chiefs are said to me making a push.
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: Push it back to that, push it back good. The
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: Chiefs are making a push to be a permanent fixture
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: on Christmas. They want to own the Christmas holiday in
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: the NFL. Anows there will be three Christmas Games this
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: year in twenty twenty five, but the Chiefs have said,
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: we want to be part of this every year.
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: We want to host a Christmas game every year. Do
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: you like it or not? Do you like it or not?
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: So we approve this message. We'll put this in the
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: light category. Kansas City wants to be akin to gingerbread,
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: cookies and fruitcake.
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: When it comes to December twenty fifth, they can anchor
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: the holiday.
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: And when I think of Thanksgiving, for example, I think
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: of I think a little stuffing, I think of pumpkin pie, cranberrys,
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: I think Cranberry's, and then I think of watching the
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: Lions and the Cowboys play other teams. So that's what
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: I think of when I think of Thanksgiving. The Chiefs
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: want to be that when it comes to Christmas. Now
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: there is more to the story. And what is that
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: more to the story.
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: There's a sneaky alternative motive in play here for Kansas City.
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: Let me give you my elevator pitch. Why.
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: I think there's some other things involved here with the
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: Chiefs trying to host a Christmas game every year because
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: it guarantees if you're gonna play on Christmas. The playoffs
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: normally start the first week in January. That's typically how
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: the NFL does it. They want the Super Bowl to
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: finish up in mid February, so in order to have
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: enough playoff games and all that, you have to start
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: the first in January. Normally, that's how it works, so
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: you are if you're playing on Christmas, you're.
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: Guaranteed to get a home game.
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: Normally it's a week to go so like now it's
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: week seventeen. Eventually it'll be week nineteen because it'll be
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: twenty weeks, two bye weeks, and then eighteen games. But
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: for now it's week seventeen. And most years you're going
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: to get a mini bye.
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: Week because Christmas.
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: It changes every year and you push it back, and
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: some years it won't matter. But for at least, what
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: are we looking at three or four of those years,
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: You're going to have a little extra time to play with.
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: You're gonna have a little extra time to play with
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: going into the final week of the regular season. So
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: for let's say it's three out of ten years, you're
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: going to have a competitive advantage if you're good enough
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: to make the playoffs where you have a mini bye
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: week and you get a little more rest before the playoffs.
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: So it's a sneaky move. It's a sneaky move, and
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: it's also good for branding.
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: And it's like everything's about the Chiefs right now, even
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: though they lost the Super Bowl. You think the NFL
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: is going to say, no, they get at least one
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: more year of Taylor, Swift and Kelsey unless they put
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: the kebash on that relationship. And you've got at least,
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: you would say, five six more years of Patrick Mahomes
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: at least as.
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: Kansas City's quarterback. So you're doing all right, You're doing
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: okay with it.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. Here
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: we go, it's Mallard, Bet we go to the third degree.
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: This is one big vent gets grilled Koper.
• 27:36
  Speaker 5: It was confirmed on Tuesday that the NFL has tabled,
• 27:39
  Speaker 5: rather than rejected, Detroit's proposal to change the playoff seating
• 27:43
  Speaker 5: so that a wild card team would be seated higher
• 27:45
  Speaker 5: than a division winner if the wild card team had
• 27:47
  Speaker 5: a better record.
• 27:48
  Speaker 6: Now, Ben, do you think there's the chance this happens
• 27:50
  Speaker 6: down the line?
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: So the NFL, when they table something, they don't have
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: enough votes, but they want to get enough votes, right,
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: So that's what that means.
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: And I don't believe it's going to.
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: Happen in my lifetime, and I like to think I'm
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: gonna live a lot longer. So there's a lot of
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: the old geezers who don't want this. They've always valued
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: winning the division. They think that's the most important thing.
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: So they think it cheapens it if you can win
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: the division and have to play a road game on
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: Wildcard weekend. So as long as that mentality is involved
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: with the Dodo Birds running football, I'm gonna go no.
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: So I do not believe in our lifetime we will
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: see that happen.
• 28:26
  Speaker 5: Next And a surprising new report on Tuesday, it's now
• 28:29
  Speaker 5: being said that the book isn't closed on Kevin Durant
• 28:33
  Speaker 5: returning to Phoenix next season.
• 28:35
  Speaker 6: Then what odds do you give that up happening?
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: So I'm gonna tell you when the book's going to close, Coop.
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: First of all, the book's going to close what the
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: NBA has got about two more weeks in the season,
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: the regular season. The Suns aren't making the playoffs, so
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: that's when the book's gonna close.
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: But Kevin Durant is a wanderer.
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: He's a vagabond, is what he is, right, He's a nomad.
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: He travels around. So he will be done in Phoenix.
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: He's not gonna be back there. He'll go to his
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: next outpost on the Dusty Winnemucka road, whether that's Atlanta
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: or New York or Golden Back, the Golden Stand on.
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: That's gonna happen, But he'll he'll land up somewhere.
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: Else and that'll be the big story that'll drive sports
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: talk radio.
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: In the summer. But no, he's not. He's not going
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: back to Phoenix.
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: That's I'd be stunned if he goes back to the
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: Sucks next.
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: After the Timberwolves and Nuggets double overtime thriller on Tuesday,
• 29:25
  Speaker 5: a lot of fans were begging the basketball gods for
• 29:27
  Speaker 5: another Minnesota Denver series in the playoffs. Ben, what potential
• 29:31
  Speaker 5: playoff matchup would you look forward to the most?
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: Well, you're not gonna like my answer, Coop, because and
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: he just fail me right now, but it would be exception.
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: It would be arousing to have the Battle of La
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: the people's team, the.
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: Clippers versus Luca Hukah Luca and the Lakers.
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: How dramatic, How electrifying would that be? And how jaw
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: dropping will it be when the Clippers win that playoff series?
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: But that would be the one they haven't played in
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: the playoffs. There is a shot, depending on how it
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: finishes up the last couple of weeks here of the
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: regular season, that we'll get Clippers and Lakers at some
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: point in the playoffs.
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: So I am all for it.
• 30:07
  Speaker 6: How did we do? You failed this vision?
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: I knew it.
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: You were such a houseman, you were such a fanboy,
• 30:12

• 32:05

• 32:11

  Speaker 3: out with Big Lue.
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: All right, let's go over to Coop for the reading
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: of the questions on ask Band.
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: Your questions are answers, All right.
• 32:40
  Speaker 5: Ben, We're gonna start off with a question from Ferg
• 32:43
  Speaker 5: dog Hi.
• 32:44
  Speaker 6: Ferg, Yes, he would like to know.
• 32:47
  Speaker 5: Are you a fan of shower bathtub combos or do
• 32:50
  Speaker 5: you think they're death traps?
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah? I don't like the shower bathtub combo.
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: I grew up with them, I added my entire lit
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: I don't need their death traps because I'm not old
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: enough when I get to a certain age.
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: The amount of people that break their hips in the
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: shower is fascinating. It's a very scary number. But I
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: don't like them.
• 33:13
  Speaker 4: If you can have a separate bath and shower, that's
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: the way to go, obviously. And I'm also a big
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: believer in not used to me, the bath is not
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: where you clean yourself. You take a shower, a quick shower,
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: then a bath to enjoy the bath.
• 33:30
