0:51
Speaker 1: recipe in our number one, what is your perspective on
0:55
Speaker 1: the cheater Carlos Correa going back to the cheaters in Houston?
1:00
Speaker 1: So why is the career trade a head scratcher for
1:03
Speaker 1: the cheating as holes? And any advice to those Twins
1:08
Speaker 1: fans on how to deal with the epic fire sale
1:12
Speaker 1: at the trade deadline as they traded away about forty
1:15
Speaker 1: percent of their big league roster for nothing. We'll get
1:20
Speaker 1: to all of that right now here. It is our
1:23
Speaker 1: number one, Houston, we have a problem. Welcome in the
1:33
Speaker 1: beginning of another night of the Ben Mahlor Show.
1:38
Speaker 2: We are in the air eywhere cheek to cheek because
1:44
Speaker 2: we are broadcasting from the Shadows Coast, the coast, border
1:48
Speaker 2: to border and beyond on the mast and rambunctiously powerful
1:53
Speaker 2: microphones of FSR.

2:01
Speaker 1: dealing from the Fox Sports Radio studios, as mister Irrigation

2:32
Speaker 1: tire installation, tire iraq dot Com, the Wytire Buying Show
2:38
Speaker 1: be so our lead. This hour is from the Swap Meet.
2:43
Speaker 1: It did not disappoint. We did have a lot of
2:46
Speaker 1: huge names traded. We had a lot of trades. It
2:48
Speaker 1: was much like my diet back in the day when
2:51
Speaker 1: I was going for it and I just ate everything.
2:54
Speaker 1: It was quantity over quality. So it was deadline day,
2:58
Speaker 1: a historic day, deadline day for the volume of trades
3:02
Speaker 1: in Major League Baseball. And we have all night to
3:06
Speaker 1: slice and dice and go brick by brick and all
3:09
Speaker 1: that stuff. But let's start with a normal target, the dirty,
3:15
Speaker 1: rotten scoundrels of baseball, the land of no morals. If
3:21
Speaker 1: you didn't see what they did, maybe not on brand.
3:26
Speaker 1: The cheating Astros reacquired disgraced infield. They're Carlos Correa and
3:35
Speaker 1: a deal. It some say is surprising, some say is surprising,
3:39
Speaker 1: comes over from the Minnesota Twins. The Twins, by the way,
3:42
Speaker 1: announced after the trade deadline they'll be joining the Pacific
3:44
Speaker 1: Coast League for the rest of the season. But Carlos Carrea,
3:48
Speaker 1: he goes to Houston and the Astros, well, they sent
3:54
Speaker 1: some minor league player back to Minnesota. Now Korea waived
3:58
Speaker 1: his no trade clause in order to make that happened.
4:01
Speaker 1: He has also agreed to change positions as he goes
4:05
Speaker 1: back to the Cheaters. He'll play third base, so he'll
4:08
Speaker 1: be on the left side of the infield with the
4:11
Speaker 1: guy that usurped him at shortstop. Jeremy Pine for the cheaters.
4:15
Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question, what is your perspective
4:20
Speaker 1: on Carlos Corea, the cheater going back to join the
4:24
Speaker 1: other cheaters in Houston. So I've got True Crime, rubber Maid,
4:30
Speaker 1: and four Seasons, and we will combine all of these
4:34
Speaker 1: things together and we're gonna make some movie theater buttered popcorn,
4:39
Speaker 1: not just your normal buttered popcorn. But it's just a
4:42
Speaker 1: little bit better. It's a little worse for you. It
4:44
Speaker 1: fills up when you're little movie theater, right, Not that
4:46
Speaker 1: many people do anymore, but you go there and it
4:48
Speaker 1: fills up your gut and your arteries. The Holy all right.
4:51
Speaker 1: So A, this Carlos Carrea deal is just dripping with irony.
4:57
Speaker 1: Capitalize right, the Twins. Now they're paying thirty three million
5:01
Speaker 1: dollars to make Carlos Korea go away. Think about that.
5:06
Speaker 1: I would love for someone to pay me thirty three
5:08
Speaker 1: million dollars to go away. I promise you I will
5:10
Speaker 1: go away. You will never hear about me again. You'll
5:12
Speaker 1: never hear me again, You'll never see me again. But
5:14
Speaker 1: think about that. Carlos Correa, who signed the biggest contract
5:17
Speaker 1: in Twins history, and a couple years later, they're like,
5:21
Speaker 1: we got to get rid of this guy. And on
5:23
Speaker 1: the other side, Korea chose to return to the place
5:27
Speaker 1: where he cheated his way to a championship. It's like
5:30
Speaker 1: some kind of twisted redemption tour. So using some patented
5:34
Speaker 1: overnight sports radio psycho babble, what this is. After a
5:39
Speaker 1: minutes long deliberation, Korea signing off on the note trade
5:44
Speaker 1: to go back to Houston is straight up true crime behavior.
5:49
Speaker 1: If you ever watch those true crime shows, you've seen this.
5:52
Speaker 1: You've even if you haven't, you've heard over the years
5:55
Speaker 1: of the criminal mind. The way the criminal mind works,
5:58
Speaker 1: the criminal always returns to the scene the crime. Enter
6:02
Speaker 1: Carlos Korea, Right, He's not just going back to Houston
6:05
Speaker 1: because he liked the weather there. This is textbook narcissist stuff, right, Korea,
6:10
Speaker 1: who must be emotionally aroused, I would imagine by the
6:14
Speaker 1: trash can banging buzzer, wearing World Series trophies, stealing franchise,
6:20
Speaker 1: and so he wants to go back there and get
6:22
Speaker 1: some more validation there. He needs reassurance Korea that all
6:26
Speaker 1: that cheating he was a part of, that it wasn't
6:29
Speaker 1: just okay. It was just okay, it was heroic. And
6:33
Speaker 1: this is a guy who has built his entire identity,
6:37
Speaker 1: is a big league ballplayer on being a schmuck, an
6:39
Speaker 1: a hole, someone you cheer against, and being part of
6:43
Speaker 1: the dirtiest team in baseball history, the as one one
6:47
Speaker 1: thousand and two, one thousand holes. So it's his happy place.
6:51
Speaker 1: That's the line, right, the one park, the one place
6:55
Speaker 1: where no one boos him, there's no moral outrage. The
6:59
Speaker 1: whole fan base has embraced the trash can mantra. Right,
7:04
Speaker 1: He'll go back in there like a conquering hero. He
7:07
Speaker 1: might even be wearing a trash can, right, hugs confetti,
7:10
Speaker 1: They might give him a special golden trash can as
7:13
Speaker 1: he returns there. But he'll be back in the warm,
7:16
Speaker 1: embraced Korea of the franchise that he helped become a
7:20
Speaker 1: national laughing stock and embarrassment and the face of cheating
7:24
Speaker 1: an American sport. Correa never really left mentally, he did it.
7:29
Speaker 1: You know, probably spent the whole time in Minnesota. Every
7:32
Speaker 1: time he saw trash can, he was whispering sweet nothings, right,
7:36
Speaker 1: just just kind of flirting with the trash can. So
7:38
Speaker 1: Korea's back in age town, and the Astros just welcomed
7:42
Speaker 1: home there for Digital Punk. He's back in town, right.
7:46
Speaker 1: They deserve each other now, Page two on this as
7:50
Speaker 1: we break it down. So why is the Carlos Korea
7:53
Speaker 1: trade the ultimate head scratcher for the cheating Astros is
8:00
Speaker 1: It's kind of clear here if you follow this story
8:02
Speaker 1: at all, if you pay any attention, and maybe you don't,
8:05
Speaker 1: maybe you don't, but if you do, you know what
8:07
Speaker 1: I'm about to say. So the team in Houston let
8:10
Speaker 1: Correa walk four years ago because hello, they did not
8:16
Speaker 1: think he was going to age twell. They didn't think
8:18
Speaker 1: that the player would be able to live up to
8:20
Speaker 1: the long term contract. They had somebody else younger. They
8:22
Speaker 1: could have kept Korea and moved him to another position
8:26
Speaker 1: if they thought he would be all right. So by
8:29
Speaker 1: bringing him back, the Astros are admitting that they were
8:33
Speaker 1: wrong to let him go. But here's here's the shocking thing.
8:38
Speaker 1: They weren't wrong to let him go. He's cooked, all right.
8:41
Speaker 1: Correa's cooked. It's like they're trying to revive Blockbuster video.
8:46
Speaker 1: It's not coming back. And while he's listed at age thirty,
8:49
Speaker 1: he often plays Korea like he's fifty at least he
8:52
Speaker 1: did in Minnesota. Watching him run, it's like watching someone
8:56
Speaker 1: try to run through a sprint in the cement. It's
9:00
Speaker 1: kind of wet there, and it's just kind of messed up.
9:02
Speaker 1: He's in the bottom percentile according to the NERD stats
9:04
Speaker 1: in barrel percentage. He's got no range defensively, and I'm
9:10
Speaker 1: pretty sure you could plant corn in the gaps he
9:12
Speaker 1: leaves on defense. Thus they're going to try to hide
9:16
Speaker 1: him at the hot corner, care at third base. But
9:20
Speaker 1: what an emasculating move. What an emasculating move. This isn't
9:24
Speaker 1: just about the analytics and all that stuff. You had
9:27
Speaker 1: to remember the astro said, we don't think we can
9:30
Speaker 1: we can bring you back. We don't think you're gonna
9:32
Speaker 1: live up to the contract we could give you. The
9:36
Speaker 1: Mets signed him to a deal or came close, backed out,
9:40
Speaker 1: The Giants agreed to a deal. Both then saw the
9:43
Speaker 1: medical record and ran for the hills. They said, you
9:46
Speaker 1: know what, We're good, Carlos, We're good here. Thanks, but
9:50
Speaker 1: no thanks. And he goes to Minnesota and sucks. And
9:55
Speaker 1: so he's not just declining this season, he's nose diving
9:59
Speaker 1: and now here come the a holes crawling back like
10:02
Speaker 1: that X who seems to be convinced that they can
10:05
Speaker 1: fix it. Oh yeah, I can fix this guy. Yeah yeah.
10:08
Speaker 1: What are they gonna dip him in the holy water
10:10
Speaker 1: of a rubber made trash can somewhere in the suburbs
10:14
Speaker 1: of Houston and boom, it's gonna be hitting like he
10:17
Speaker 1: was in twenty seventeen. Right, all you have to do,
10:19
Speaker 1: deck Torrea, get him the buzzer. If that doesn't work,
10:22
Speaker 1: try a whistle, right, maybe a trash can lid instead
10:26
Speaker 1: of a hat, right, full service. Hey. In fact, the
10:28
Speaker 1: equipment guy when he gets back to Houston, Korea, the
10:31
Speaker 1: equipment Guy's gonna say, hey, Carlos, you want your buzzer
10:34
Speaker 1: in medium or large? I know you've gained a little ways,
10:36
Speaker 1: it still a medium or do you need a large buzzer?
10:39
Speaker 1: It's a waste management right, Houston style? And what do
10:42
Speaker 1: we always say, what do we always say on the show?
10:45
Speaker 1: We say, don't let a falling star fall on you. Well,
10:48
Speaker 1: guess what they not only did that, they traded for
10:52
Speaker 1: a falling star, right, They went out and they caught
10:56
Speaker 1: a falling star. So they're like, all right, we want
10:58
Speaker 1: that all right now, we must go to the other
11:01
Speaker 1: part of this trade. We must go to the other
11:03
Speaker 1: part of the trade. Everyone in baseball is like, what
11:06
Speaker 1: are they doing when I say they we're going to
11:09
Speaker 1: the Upper Midwest now the last word, and that would
11:13
Speaker 1: be the other side of this transaction. Do you have
11:16
Speaker 1: any advice to those Twins fans on how to deal
11:23
Speaker 1: with what some are saying is the single most embarrassing
11:27
Speaker 1: day in baseball history for a franchise giving up And
11:31
Speaker 1: that's where Minnesota Twins of twenty twenty five. So do
11:34
Speaker 1: you have anything an advice for the Twins on how
11:37
Speaker 1: to deal with an epic day of transactions as they
11:41
Speaker 1: unloaded the big league roster at the trade deadline. So
11:44
Speaker 1: my advice would be, you know, the cover I think
11:47
Speaker 1: this was like a cover band for the four seasons,
11:49
Speaker 1: right this is the fifth season, we'll call it and
11:53
Speaker 1: this season, and this is my advice to you in
11:55
Speaker 1: Minnesota is apathy. It's apathy season. No more Minnesota and Ice.
12:00
Speaker 1: Don't even bother getting mad. Don't get worked into a ladder.
12:04
Speaker 1: The pole Ad family that owns the team, they obviously
12:07
Speaker 1: don't care. They're not building a winner, They're just clearing debt,
12:13
Speaker 1: and it's just a line item on a spreadsheet. They're
12:16
Speaker 1: trying to get rid of debt to sell the team.
12:18
Speaker 1: So they're trimming the fat like a chef that's got
12:22
Speaker 1: that big knife there and trying to trim away the fat.
12:25
Speaker 1: And so they're trying to get the books right, as
12:27
Speaker 1: I understand it, to sell the team and then they
12:29
Speaker 1: can buy another yacht with all the money. Do you
12:31
Speaker 1: think they care about you the fan? You think the
12:33
Speaker 1: Minnesota Twins care about you the fan? They showed you.
12:36
Speaker 1: They gave you the middle finger with these trays, right,
12:39
Speaker 1: And so I got no skin in the game, but
12:42
Speaker 1: I am sick of earing well. I mean, look at
12:44
Speaker 1: the hall they got back. They're smart. They weren't gonna
12:47
Speaker 1: win anyway. Look at all the minor league players they
12:49
Speaker 1: got enough. Tommy, you're a maron. This was a competitive
12:55
Speaker 1: team that granted they were going the wrong direction. But
12:58
Speaker 1: everyone's a fringe playoff content these days because they keep
13:01
Speaker 1: adding wild card teams. And I've just not been raised
13:05
Speaker 1: that way. I know a lot of you are losers
13:06
Speaker 1: and you've been raised that way, but I was taught
13:08
Speaker 1: not to just quit, not to give up on purpose,
13:10
Speaker 1: and that's exactly what I saw from the Minnesota Twins.
13:13
Speaker 1: Oh but we got prospects. Oh that's great. Why don't
13:17
Speaker 1: you make out with your prospects? Right, wonderful. It's the
13:20
Speaker 1: currency of the coward. Prospects. Oh, they're gonna be so good.
13:25
Speaker 1: It's so funny to me how many people are just
13:29
Speaker 1: complete morons when it comes to prospects. I give you
13:32
Speaker 1: an example. Team I liked the Dodgers a couple of
13:36
Speaker 1: years ago. The other guy named Trevor May, who was
13:38
Speaker 1: a top prospect. Oh, he's a great prospect. The guy sucks.
13:43
Speaker 1: The Dodgers gave him to the Red Sox. He's terrible.
13:46
Speaker 1: They had another top prospect a couple years back named
13:48
Speaker 1: James Outman, who also blows. By the way, he's going
13:52
Speaker 1: to the Twins. So congratulating, but he was a top prospect. Oh, man,
13:56
Speaker 1: look at the prospect all you losers, you guys, look
13:59
Speaker 1: at these prospects. You pull your pants down. You're so excited.
14:01
Speaker 1: It's embarrassing, right, embarrassing. So I mean they traded they
14:06
Speaker 1: had a decent to good bullpen. They traded their bullpen,
14:09
Speaker 1: the entire bullpen, half your roster, and you got and
14:15
Speaker 1: maybe that'll be good. I mean that maybe that guy
14:18
Speaker 1: would be good. I don't know. Give me a break,
14:20
Speaker 1: all right. Anyway, you do what you want. My advice
14:22
Speaker 1: would be not to spend a dime and make that
14:26
Speaker 1: stadium like it was COVID in Minnesota, beautiful ballpark. But
14:29
Speaker 1: maybe like COVID was no one there. Go rent a
14:32
Speaker 1: boat and enjoy Lake Minnetonka instead. But for the twins,
14:36
Speaker 1: I mean my not one dime, all right. You don't
14:39
Speaker 1: go to the ballpark, You don't buy a hat, a bobblehead,
14:42
Speaker 1: you don't even you don't comment on social media because
14:45
Speaker 1: that means you care. Force them to win your trust
14:49
Speaker 1: back because they just violated the bubble of trust. So
14:53
Speaker 1: force them to earn your trust back because they deserve it.
14:57
Speaker 1: This is apathy season. That is my advice, pure cold
15:01
Speaker 1: blooded Minnesota winter weather grade apathy. Right, And you don't yell,
15:08
Speaker 1: you don't scream, You just kind of walk away, because
15:11
Speaker 1: it's all about the emotion, and the emotion means you're
15:14
Speaker 1: still engaged. The emotion means that you still care. You
15:17
Speaker 1: give a damn. Apathy means you're not a customer anymore.
15:22
Speaker 1: You don't care about their product. And if they're playing
15:25
Speaker 1: in front of you, you're not gonna even look, You're
15:28
Speaker 1: gonna turn your back and go the other way. They've
15:30
Speaker 1: lost you. And that's the way you have to approach you.
15:33
Speaker 1: You have to and that's what the Twins earned. Every
15:38
Speaker 1: action has a reaction, and that should be the reaction.
15:42
Speaker 1: And nothing you get, absolutely nothing. That would be my advice. Now,
15:46
Speaker 1: is that gonna happen? Do I know? There's always the
15:49
Speaker 1: fanboys no matter what. Ah, we love the prospects. Oh,
15:53
Speaker 1: I'm so excited. This is such a great you know,
15:56
Speaker 1: there's always those losers. Got to hate those people. They're
15:59
Speaker 1: always out there. Right, Oh, this is going to be
16:01
Speaker 1: great now five years from now. It is really the
16:04
Speaker 1: ultimate hustle for a couple of reason. And I'm not
16:08
Speaker 1: going to rant about that. I will rant at some
16:10
Speaker 1: point in the future about my belief that the Major
16:12
Speaker 1: League Baseball pipeline is one of the all time great
16:15
Speaker 1: scams ever put in the world of sports. So I'll
16:19
Speaker 1: do that another day. I just will sum this up
16:22
Speaker 1: by pointing out how absurd it is to sell five
16:26
Speaker 1: years from now. Right, Does any other business get away
16:29
Speaker 1: with that when they have a shareholders meeting an Apple,
16:34
Speaker 1: do they say, Hey, these iPhones are going to absolutely
16:38
Speaker 1: stink for the next four years, but in year five,
16:42
Speaker 1: I think we'll have a good one, right, I think
16:44
Speaker 1: we'll be pretty good there in year five. Like in
16:46
Speaker 1: the car business, when they're making automobiles, do the people
16:50
Speaker 1: at Toyota say, well, you know, we don't really have
16:53
Speaker 1: any good cars, and I don't think we have any
16:54
Speaker 1: for the next couple of years. But if you check
16:56
Speaker 1: back with this in five or six years, I think
16:58
Speaker 1: that one of these cars that were thinking about the prototypes,
17:01
Speaker 1: I think they might be pretty good. But yet in
17:04
Speaker 1: sports you're able to get away with it. It's like, why
17:07
Speaker 1: is that? Why are they allowed to get away with that?
17:10
Speaker 1: I just don't I don't understand that mindset. I was
17:14
Speaker 1: not raised that way watching sports. But hey, these throw
17:18
Speaker 1: it anyway if you would like to be part the
17:21
Speaker 1: balance of power. I don't think the balance of power
17:23
Speaker 1: shifted with any of these trades. There were a lot
17:26
Speaker 1: of trades. I just like that we can tell who
17:29
Speaker 1: actually is trying to win and who's not trying to win.
17:31
Speaker 1: And oh, by the way, the Dodgers are on that
17:33
Speaker 1: we're not trying to win. List my Dodgers. I mean, hey,
17:37
Speaker 1: I thought was Fred Claire back as the GM there?
17:39
Speaker 1: My god, I thought it was like the eighties. Take
17:41
Speaker 1: a nap of the trade deadline. Holy crap eight seven
17:46
Speaker 1: seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven nine nine
17:51
Speaker 1: six six three six y nine, if you'd like to
17:53
Speaker 1: be part. Also on ex at Ben Mahlor. That's at
17:57
Speaker 1: Ben mall we have the full red eye flight all
18:00
Speaker 1: the way through the overnight hours. Now later on in
18:04
Speaker 1: hour two we'll have Mallard of the thirty. We also
18:06
Speaker 1: had an exhibition football game which was as painful as

Speaker 1: Back to it, Yeah, back to it, Yeah, back to.
21:38
Speaker 5: What we go? Bill?
21:39
Speaker 1: Who's your Bill? I think we should change his name
21:42
Speaker 1: to hammered Bill. Bill says the Minnesota Twins should move
21:46
Speaker 1: to Mexico City or Montreal. Know what they should do
21:50
Speaker 1: is stay in Minnesota, but have the attendance of the
21:52
Speaker 1: Montreal Expos. The last couple of years when they'd played
21:55
Speaker 1: Olympic Stadium and there'd be seventeen people there, Chip and
21:57
Speaker 1: the Queues, it was friends and family. Chip in the
21:59
Speaker 1: que he was right, since says eight plus on the
22:01
Speaker 1: Male of monologue. Maybe Carlos Carea didn't work out in
22:04
Speaker 1: Minnesota because the Twins wouldn't let him cheat. Since we
22:07
Speaker 1: all know the Asstros will allow him to do that,
22:12
Speaker 1: don't be surprised if he starts putting up stats again.
22:15
Speaker 1: All right, Brock off topic says, I said Jim Harball
22:19
Speaker 1: will make a starting quarterback out of Trey Lance. The
22:22
Speaker 1: process has begun. Yeah, well we'll get to that. I yeah,
22:28
Speaker 1: I had a feeling that was gonna be a storyline.
22:31
Speaker 1: My god, what are we doing? What else do we have?
22:34
Speaker 1: Filler up? Phil says the Twins stadium be like thanks
22:37
Speaker 1: for nothing. Yeah, Spock's weed writes in from the Oregon Trail,
22:42
Speaker 1: he says, there's a great gem there, and then the
22:44
Speaker 1: Mala monologue. Major League Baseball needs to create an award
22:48
Speaker 1: called the Golden trash Can for the most shady player
22:52
Speaker 1: or team of the year. If a Major League Baseball
22:55
Speaker 1: won't do it, we should. It's a great idea.
22:58
Speaker 5: Yeah.
22:58
Speaker 1: Jbo writes in, says you're spot on, Ben. The Twins'
23:01
Speaker 1: owners just suck. Most fans are sick of their penny
23:05
Speaker 1: pinching waists. You suck. There's still some pull, lad pocket
23:10
Speaker 1: protectors that will argue it was worth it. Yeah. Jbo says,
23:16
Speaker 1: I wanted to see a game at some point this season,
23:18
Speaker 1: but I am not spending my money there. Yeah, just
23:21
Speaker 1: go down there. I was when I was in Minneso
23:24
Speaker 1: a while back. We went to the stadium. We didn't
23:26
Speaker 1: go to a game. We walked around just to hang out.
23:28
Speaker 1: There's got the Rod Caruz statue, the Kirby status, a
23:30
Speaker 1: bunch of statues, so you can go take some photos there.
23:33
Speaker 1: I like the Bear mascot statue. You can do that
23:35
Speaker 1: and knock yourself out. Jill Wrights And says, everyone called
23:38
Speaker 1: in to k Fan today in Minnesota there and said
23:41
Speaker 1: the Twins would be lucky to sell out the field
23:46
Speaker 1: where the Saint Paul Saints play ten thousand fans. I
23:49
Speaker 1: live in the Twin Cities. My Yankees didn't do much either.
23:54
Speaker 1: The Bednar move was pretty good, and the Yankees did
23:58
Speaker 1: more than the Dodgers. I thought the Yankees were okay,
24:01
Speaker 1: like Bednar's nasty, although all those relief pitchers are ticking
24:05
Speaker 1: time bombs. Earlier this summer, Bednar was so messed up
24:08
Speaker 1: in the head the Pirates sent him to the minor leagues.
24:11
Speaker 1: And now at the trade deadline, they end up trading
24:13
Speaker 1: him to the Yankees. Sean in the Valley of the
24:14
Speaker 1: Sun says great monologue Ben I worked at a I
24:17
Speaker 1: worked at Bank One Ballpark, Chase Field for twenty two years.
24:21
Speaker 1: I didn't know that Shawn's been a contributor to the
24:24
Speaker 1: show for many many years. I did not know that
24:25
Speaker 1: he worked at Chase Field there for them many years.
24:28
Speaker 1: I bought many tickets, went to a couple hundred games
24:31
Speaker 1: on off days. Now the Diamondbacks are giving up. I
24:35
Speaker 1: said it earlier today. No emotion, just walking away there
24:39
Speaker 1: you go, looking forward to the Dodgers and the podresh
24:44
Speaker 1: Man Podres's. That's some trading there. That's how you do
24:48
Speaker 1: a trade deadline, kids, you just trade the entire minor
24:51
Speaker 1: league system. Eh. Absolutely. Scrooge rights in from Northern California says,
24:55
Speaker 1: after all these trade deadline day, trade deadline d did
25:00
Speaker 1: anyone else from the Mallond militia get traded for a
25:03
Speaker 1: bag of nothing? Yeah? Well, we actually did trade hollering James,
25:08
Speaker 1: and we traded him to the Twins. But the Twins
25:11
Speaker 1: traded him back, and so unfortunately James is back in
25:14
Speaker 1: the Mallard Militia Late Night Drug tester says, I will
25:16
Speaker 1: say this about the Twins. Nobody has fielded a bigger
25:22
Speaker 1: group of miners since Jeffrey Epstein. Wow, well, lame jokes
25:26
Speaker 1: are actually coming up in a couple hours, so I
25:28
Speaker 1: don't know. That's like a premature lame joke. Andy, and
25:30
Speaker 1: Lino lakes right, since he says ten ten out of
25:33
Speaker 1: ten on the Mallard monologue, the pole Ad family one
25:36
Speaker 1: of the richest owners in baseball. I have not been
25:39
Speaker 1: to a game or spent a diamond ten years on
25:42
Speaker 1: that team. I'm tired of the way they run the franchise,
25:44
Speaker 1: sell the team already. It's an embarrassment to Minnesota, he says.
25:50
Speaker 1: And Brian, a Twinkies fan, says, Ben, I just listened
25:54
Speaker 1: to your rant about the Twins, and thank you for
25:56
Speaker 1: coming down hard on the pathetic organization. The pole Ads
25:59
Speaker 1: are one of the worst ownership groups I've seen in
26:02
Speaker 1: any sport. And yes, it's time for fans to completely
26:06
Speaker 1: stop buying tickets merch After the bird was shown to
26:10
Speaker 1: the fans there, it's really the only shot you got.
26:15
Speaker 1: It's the only in his dice. It's not a guarantee,
26:17
Speaker 1: and it has worked. It has worked a few times.
26:22
Speaker 1: The most famous example that was in Los Angeles when
26:25
Speaker 1: the Dodgers had this guy who was kind of like
26:27
Speaker 1: the pole aage Frank McCourt, who owned the team, and
26:30
Speaker 1: his idea of the big pickup was he stopped Choi.
26:33
Speaker 1: That was his big move there when he owned the Dodgers,
26:36
Speaker 1: and the fans just stopped going. They stopped supporting the team,
26:39
Speaker 1: and major League Baseball freaked out, and that's how they
26:43
Speaker 1: got the deal where the Dodgers now have this group
26:46
Speaker 1: that it usually goes for it. They didn't go for
26:48
Speaker 1: it this year at the trade deadline, but they normally
26:50
Speaker 1: go for it, and the stadium's packed. They have a
26:52
Speaker 1: huge television deal, all that stuff, and so it's a
26:56
Speaker 1: It was about twenty years the Dodgers were run like
26:59
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Twins for a while.
27:01
Speaker 5: There.
27:02
Speaker 1: There you go. Let's hear uh super Marcus Steve's asking
27:07
Speaker 1: for details on Benny versus the Penny. You're gonna have
27:09
Speaker 1: to listen to the Fifth Hour podcast. You're just gonna
27:11
Speaker 1: have to listen to that. It's all on the podcast.
27:15
Speaker 1: Shanon Moyes says, the Hall of Fame game will go
27:18
Speaker 1: down as a game that was played. C minus on
27:22
Speaker 1: the game, A plus on the opening monologue. Well, thank you, sir.
27:26
Speaker 1: I did enjoy seeing Brent Musburger for nostalgic reasons. There,
27:31
Speaker 1: the great Brent Musburger. It was wonderful. Let's go to
27:34
Speaker 1: the phones. Let's see who do we have here? Eenie
27:36
Speaker 1: meenie miny moe. Let's go down to the Ambassador of Bakersfield, California. Well,
27:42
Speaker 1: we had one of the legendary mallor meet and greets
27:44
Speaker 1: on a night chamber of rod It was a chamber
27:47
Speaker 1: of commerce night, right, Rob, the ambassador of Vegersfield there was.
27:50
Speaker 1: It was only two hundred and seventeen degrees that night,
27:53
Speaker 1: and we had a great time, and we forced Bakersfield
27:57
Speaker 1: to lose their minor league baseball team, which they had
27:59
Speaker 1: for one hundred years. So we a lot was accomplished
28:01
Speaker 1: that night.
28:02
Speaker 5: Rod Man, you are absolutely perfect. Thing better are you
28:07
Speaker 5: kidding me? With the fastball?
28:10
Speaker 1: Well, actually there's kind of a lob in there, and
28:14
Speaker 1: it was an off speed pitch and had the ball
28:17
Speaker 1: game singing.
28:18
Speaker 5: Then yeah, I mean, come on, I mean that was
28:22
Speaker 5: one of the greatest moments in my life because it
28:25
Speaker 5: was with the great Man.

Speaker 1: of people would like that. If you put it on
34:41
Speaker 1: the internet, they probably like that a lot. Triple H.
34:44
Speaker 1: Here's a here's a wrestling relator. So Triple I guess
34:47
Speaker 1: he was. They had a ceremony at the White House.
34:49
Speaker 1: They're bringing back the presidential test. You know, this used
34:55
Speaker 1: to when I was a kid. This was the thing.
34:57
Speaker 1: They got rid of it fifteen years ago or something
35:01
Speaker 1: like that. So they had some ceremony the White House
35:02
Speaker 1: to announce to bring this back. But Triple H was there,
35:06
Speaker 1: and it was the President announced they're going to have
35:09
Speaker 1: this fitness test now for kids in school, which was
35:11
Speaker 1: what they had it for years and then they got
35:13
Speaker 1: rid of it. The only reason I'm bringing this up
35:15
Speaker 1: is because Triple H did his signature water spit entrance
35:20
Speaker 1: at the White House, which is just you can't make
35:26
Speaker 1: this stuff up. I mean, it's just outstanding. The fountains
35:29
Speaker 1: out of the mouth. Well you see the video, you'll
35:33
Speaker 1: know what I'm what I'm talking about there. But yeah,
35:37
Speaker 1: he was at the meeting and he was a film
35:40
Speaker 1: doing his signature spit. I was technically outside the White House,
35:46
Speaker 1: but I believe it was still on White House ground.
35:48
Speaker 1: So he did at least walk out of the White
35:51
Speaker 1: House proper, and he was, of course recorded. He took
35:55
Speaker 1: the drink, he had a bottle of water. He was
35:57
Speaker 1: wearing the suit triple eight at h rather and then
35:59
Speaker 1: he he did the signature move there and put his
36:03
Speaker 1: arms out extended there and spit and one of the
36:06
Speaker 1: great moments in American history right there. Anyway, think about it,
36:10
Speaker 1: legendary presidents, and you think of Lincoln, you think of Washington,
36:13
Speaker 1: you think you know, the all time greats, and then
36:17
Speaker 1: you got this. That's outstanding triple h man. You got
36:20
Speaker 1: to keep it real. Gott to keep it real all
36:22
Speaker 1: right time. Now for the who am I game? And
