3:23
Speaker 1: not a rehash of the story we talked about earlier.
3:26
Speaker 1: If you missed it, the podcast will be up in
3:28
Speaker 1: about an hour. Lebron James did he sign with the
3:33
Speaker 1: Miami Heat? Well maybe a great story out of South
3:37
Speaker 1: forward to some low level dork intern for the Miami
3:43
Speaker 1: Heat posted a video announcing Lebron James press conference in
3:48
Speaker 1: five days five days from today, and then they deleted it.
3:52
Speaker 1: The internet is forever, so the Heat had to deny it,
3:55
Speaker 1: said it was just a test. Wink wink, nod nod.
3:59
Speaker 1: The Deep State is convinced Lebron is going to the
4:02
Speaker 1: Miami Heat. Our lead this hour, though is not from
4:05
Speaker 1: South Florida, is from South Bend. A lot of chatter
4:09
Speaker 1: over the last couple of months about the NFL doing
4:12
Speaker 1: some window shopping looking for a certain head coach in
4:17
Speaker 1: South Bend, Indiana. Marcus Freeman was asked about the Komodo
4:24
Speaker 1: dragon in the room, and he said, did he say, A,
4:29
Speaker 1: I can't wait to get an NFL coaching job, B
4:33
Speaker 1: no comment or C I could not ever leave touchdown
4:38
Speaker 1: Jesus pretty much see pretty much see he said he's
4:42
Speaker 1: all in, Marcus Freeman saying he's all in on being
4:47
Speaker 1: the head coach at Notre Dame. So if you did
4:50
Speaker 1: not see this, perhaps not the full quote is quote
4:53
Speaker 1: I'm all in. I've been all in. I don't see
4:58
Speaker 1: myself being the head coach or coach anywhere else. Freeman stated,
5:04
Speaker 1: quote continues, I plan on being here as long as
5:07
Speaker 1: I can. He said. If I do a good enough
5:11
Speaker 1: job and I'm able and wanted to be the head
5:14
Speaker 1: coach here, I want to stay the head coach here.
5:17
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah blah blah. All right, so that is
5:20
Speaker 1: a good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question
5:25
Speaker 1: Marcus Freeman's quote the head coach there saying that he
5:29
Speaker 1: would like to continue, he's all in at Notre Dame,
5:33
Speaker 1: all in, not looking for one of those NFL head
5:36
Speaker 1: coaching jobs. So what is your confidence level? Your confidence
5:41
Speaker 1: level on Marcus Freeman? All right, as he says, he's
5:45
Speaker 1: very happy and wants to stay there, and everything's great,
5:47
Speaker 1: and he's not looking at the NFL. It's all good.
5:49
Speaker 1: So I've got Morton's Beat Salad and Phantom of the Opera,
5:55
Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together, and
5:59
Speaker 1: you and I are going to get together here and
6:03
Speaker 1: we are going to deliver a haymaker and then we're
6:05
Speaker 1: going to have some gaba ghoul and then we're gonna
6:07
Speaker 1: have the Babaganosh. That's what we're going to do. Now.
6:10
Speaker 1: To kicked off here. On the Malor Scale of confidence,
6:14
Speaker 1: the number one measurement on a scale of one to ten,
6:19
Speaker 1: I am at a three on this Newby Night of
6:23
Speaker 1: three now Newby Morning. Now, if you look at the
6:26
Speaker 1: Malor Scale of confidence and you look at the fine
6:28
Speaker 1: print there, very doubtful, very doubtful. Yeah. I see Mike
6:33
Speaker 1: the Leprechon nodding his head.
6:34
Speaker 3: Yes.
6:35
Speaker 1: Now if you believe that Marcus Freeman what he said
6:39
Speaker 1: was accurate and the truth, the whole truth, and nothing
6:42
Speaker 1: but the truth. Congratulations, I have beachfront property, beachfront property
6:48
Speaker 1: in South Bend, Indiana to sell you. And yeah, absolutely,
6:53
Speaker 1: I know. Yeah, so surfboards there, the whole thing, great
6:57
Speaker 1: surf kwabunga dude cow in South Bend. So you take
7:02
Speaker 1: this with a pinch, it's a little pinch of the
7:05
Speaker 1: Morton's Koch assault. Listen, it sounds genuine. It sounds genuine
7:12
Speaker 1: to the untrained year Marcus Freeman, the quotes parsing the
7:15
Speaker 1: words that he had to say here. But then you
7:18
Speaker 1: realize this is just pure coach speak, unfiltered coach speak.
7:23
Speaker 1: That's it. The art of saying nothing loudly, the art
7:27
Speaker 1: of saying nothing loudly. Coaches rarely rarely admit that they're
7:32
Speaker 1: really hoping for a better job. They lie, they're white lies.
7:37
Speaker 1: They tell you a version of the truth, but not
7:39
Speaker 1: the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. But the
7:40
Speaker 1: NFL offers a far better life the college game with
7:45
Speaker 1: nil gymnastics on a yearly basis, having to re recruit
7:49
Speaker 1: players that you already have now Notre Dame, I will
7:52
Speaker 1: concede that that is the cream of the crop right there.
7:57
Speaker 1: In that world. In that world, however, however, if the
8:00
Speaker 1: right NFL owner calls, say, twenty plus million dollars a year,
8:06
Speaker 1: total control of the roster, total control of the roster,
8:10
Speaker 1: an elite quarterback with a lot of upside as. The
8:13
Speaker 1: kids like to say, Freeman will not just be listening
8:17
Speaker 1: to that NFL owner. He will sprint like he's running
8:21
Speaker 1: the combine forty yard dash that we come back. And
8:25
Speaker 1: from what I've heard, he's already met with several NFL owners.
8:28
Speaker 1: He's got a pathway to the NFL. Marcus Freeman. He's
8:32
Speaker 1: had some meals and some meet and greets. Somebody who
8:36
Speaker 1: may or may not have insider information told me in
8:38
Speaker 1: Arizona a few months back, when the coaching cycle Freeman
8:43
Speaker 1: was having some mistake with an FL owner. All the
8:49
Speaker 1: owners were there for meetings and stuff, so could have
8:52
Speaker 1: been anyone. Anyway, Listen, the door is open, absolutely, the
8:56
Speaker 1: door is opened for Marcus Freeman to leave Notre Dame.
8:58
Speaker 1: He says he's happy. Of course he's going to say that.
9:01
Speaker 1: Can you imagine if Freeman had announced just a couple
9:04
Speaker 1: of months before Notre Dame kicks off their season. I'd
9:08
Speaker 1: really like to be fitted for a letterman's jacket NFL style. Boy,
9:13
Speaker 1: that would be great. I'd love that a lot. It's
9:15
Speaker 1: not the time replace the publicly flirt in the with
9:18
Speaker 1: NFL teams, all right now. Furthermore to TV Land, we
9:21
Speaker 1: go report card in report card in from TV Land
9:25
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty six FIFA World Cup on Fox. You
9:29
Speaker 1: better watch You did watch the final game of the
9:33
Speaker 1: World Cup, which had two non American entities, Argentina and Spain.
9:39
Speaker 1: The Spaniards and Argentina going side by side their mono
9:42
Speaker 1: a mono they combined for how big an audience? Over
9:46
Speaker 1: sixty million men, women and children combined. Now, I will
9:52
Speaker 1: tell you that the numbers are a bit fugezy because
9:54
Speaker 1: they combined Fox Telemundo Petecock to B and of course
10:01
Speaker 1: Fox won. Boy, I missed those Fox one reads, man,
10:04
Speaker 1: those were great, man. I gotta wait till twenty thirty
10:07
Speaker 1: for more Fox one reads for the World Cup. Damn
10:10
Speaker 1: what a shame anyway, most watched most watched soccer match
10:16
Speaker 1: in United States history. The English language Fox broadcast averaged
10:22
Speaker 1: thirty eight point nine million human beings thirty eight point
10:28
Speaker 1: nine million. It peaked at over fifty million, almost fifty
10:32
Speaker 1: two million people at the peak. It established an all
10:35
Speaker 1: time US record as well for English language viewers. Soccer
10:42
Speaker 1: question thumbs up or thumbs down, thumbs up thumbs down
10:48
Speaker 1: on the twenty twenty six World Cup, proving that soccer
10:54
Speaker 1: has now become a true mainstream television event in the
10:59
Speaker 1: US survey. So this is propaganda. It just is. So
11:07
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go thumbs down on this propaganda from Big Soccer.
11:14
Speaker 1: I am it's not mainstream. It is not. Now. I
11:19
Speaker 1: will be Benny Brightside and point out rather obviously here
11:23
Speaker 1: the giant snuffleophagus over in the side there that America
11:28
Speaker 1: will embrace soccer if it's a big event, the spectacle
11:33
Speaker 1: that matters, the spectacle, the communal thing. We all have
11:37
Speaker 1: to watch it because everyone's gonna be talking about it,
11:40
Speaker 1: and you're like, what are they talking about? I'll check
11:41
Speaker 1: it out. Why not? I don't even know what that is,
11:43
Speaker 1: and I'll why think of it like a summer blockbuster
11:47
Speaker 1: right now. They used to make these new exotic movies
11:50
Speaker 1: in Hollywood. Now they just make Marvel movies like Spider Man,
11:53
Speaker 1: things like that. So you embrace the summer blockbuster movie.
11:59
Speaker 1: You get excited for it's big, just absolutely great, and
12:06
Speaker 1: then you realize, well, in this case, it was just
12:07
Speaker 1: a perfect storm. The World Cup on mostly on US soil,
12:12
Speaker 1: with a winkoln and nod to our brothers and sisters
12:14
Speaker 1: in Canada and Mexico. So it was. It was on
12:16
Speaker 1: US soil. It was played at pretty good times. Some
12:20
Speaker 1: of the matches were early because they had to accommodate
12:23
Speaker 1: the European audience, the time zone difference and all. Maybe
12:26
Speaker 1: there's still midday most of the time, midday matchups, and
12:31
Speaker 1: so you had all that. The hype machine was an
12:33
Speaker 1: absolute blow torch. If it were in Iceland, if the
12:38
Speaker 1: World Cup decide we're going to move the matches to Iceland,
12:43
Speaker 1: we would be watching pickleball instead of the World Compact.
12:47
Speaker 1: We'll get a test of that in twenty thirty, the
12:49
Speaker 1: World Cup mostly in Morocco, Portugal and Spain in twenty thirty.
12:55
Speaker 1: So now America, we've had a few days here to
12:58
Speaker 1: return to our regularly scheduled diet of meat and potatoes,
13:03
Speaker 1: which right now just includes baseball, but eventually football and
13:06
Speaker 1: basketball will be back, and soccer, well that's now becoming
13:10
Speaker 1: a beat salad. The sport of soccer which nobody wants
13:15
Speaker 1: to eat a beat salad. Nobody wakes up and says
13:17
Speaker 1: I want to have a beat salad today. You don't
13:19
Speaker 1: do that. So the MLS is still trying to convince us.
13:22
Speaker 1: God bless them, they're still trying to convince us. Hey,
13:26
Speaker 1: what about us? Remember us, we're over here. Yeah, they're
13:30
Speaker 1: hidden on a niche streaming service. It's like a scavenger
13:36
Speaker 1: hunt to try to find if you even wanted to watch, Like,
13:38
Speaker 1: nobody's tuning in. Nobody's tuning in for the Columbus Crew
13:43
Speaker 1: versus the LA Galaxy. And let me point something out.
13:48
Speaker 1: And that's a humble brag. I'll do it anyway. Who
13:50
Speaker 1: cares that I do a little overnight radio show. Here,
13:55
Speaker 1: we have a bigger audience. We reach more people on
13:59
Speaker 1: an average per day basis than your typical MLS game.
14:03
Speaker 1: Think about that, this show is broadcast at horrific hours
14:07
Speaker 1: for most people because most most of y'all don't stay
14:10
Speaker 1: up all night with us. The MLS current to the
14:13
Speaker 1: last ratings, I got MLS season pass averages one hundred
14:16
Speaker 1: and twenty thousand viewers a match. We knock that out
14:21
Speaker 1: of the part. I mean, I don't give our numbers out,
14:23
Speaker 1: but we kill it compared side by side, either get
14:26
Speaker 1: terrestrial radio and the podcast and all that stuff. To
14:30
Speaker 1: put that in the proper perspective, you're losing to an
14:34
Speaker 1: overnight radio show and that's your sport. That's it all right. Now,
14:40
Speaker 1: last thing to the partnership. Now, if you are a
14:43
Speaker 1: real p one, not a fraudulent p one, and you
14:46
Speaker 1: listen to my weekend podcast, the Fifth Hour, I have
14:49
Speaker 1: delivered many sermons, many many sermons about how for gazy
14:55
Speaker 1: the matrix is and how a lot of people don't
15:00
Speaker 1: realize the things they're being fed are not what they
15:04
Speaker 1: appeared to be. And we had another example of that.
15:06
Speaker 1: We learned that Major League Baseball and FIFA. Major League
15:11
Speaker 1: Baseball and FIFA, you know those videos of the European
15:15
Speaker 1: folks enjoying hot dogs and pretzels and cheering and figuring
15:19
Speaker 1: out what baseball is and how sweet and innocent it
15:23
Speaker 1: appeared to be. Is it true that that was all
15:27
Speaker 1: bull crap? Here's it was. Major League Baseball and FIFA
15:31
Speaker 1: entered into a formal business deal. We learned during the
15:34
Speaker 1: World Cup. Major League Baseball attempting to capitalize on the
15:40
Speaker 1: popularity of the World Cup and all of these international
15:45
Speaker 1: soccer fans visiting the United States. So what was the deal.
15:48
Speaker 1: I'll tell you the deal. The deal was, and I
15:52
Speaker 1: read this in one of the business trades, said teams
15:55
Speaker 1: across Major League Baseball hosting World Cup themed events. They
15:59
Speaker 1: had welcoming get togethers for traveling fans from around the world,
16:04
Speaker 1: and they had all kinds of other things mixed in
16:10
Speaker 1: the strategy, targeting thousands of men, women and children who
16:15
Speaker 1: had a lot of downtime between matches, right, because you
16:17
Speaker 1: can't play back to back in belly to belly, got
16:20
Speaker 1: to have a couple of days off between matches and
16:21
Speaker 1: the World Cup, so there was a lot of downtime
16:24
Speaker 1: to futs around and live the American dream and eat
16:29
Speaker 1: overpriced food and drink overpriced alcohol and all that at
16:32
Speaker 1: a baseball game. So the goal, the marketing goal, was
16:36
Speaker 1: to try to introduce baseball to a new audience, and
16:38
Speaker 1: so they paid money to FIFA. The question, now that
16:43
Speaker 1: it turns out that Major League Baseball had a formal
16:46
Speaker 1: business partnership with FIFA for the twenty twenty six World Cup,
16:52
Speaker 1: how do you categorize this one?
16:55
Speaker 4: All?
16:56
Speaker 3: Right?
16:56
Speaker 1: So I could sit here and say this is hot.
16:58
Speaker 1: Take validation. See Alf nodding his head and ferg dog
17:02
Speaker 1: and malarpropa gay it is. It is really hot. Take validation.
17:05
Speaker 1: If you look at the recipe, seriously, look at the
17:08
Speaker 1: recipe here. You look at the recipe. It's equal parts
17:12
Speaker 1: strategic genius and beautiful skullduggery. It's all of those things.
17:19
Speaker 5: Right.
17:19
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball looked at that massive event. Now it
17:24
Speaker 1: is in a vacuum, the World Cup, right, it's just
17:26
Speaker 1: happens every few years. It moves around the world, so
17:29
Speaker 1: it was in a vacuum, and they said, you know what,
17:34
Speaker 1: why don't we Why don't we sit here? You and
17:37
Speaker 1: I were Major League Baseball. Why are we going to
17:40
Speaker 1: fight the sun. We're not going to fight the sun.
17:43
Speaker 1: We're just gonna orbit around the Sun.
17:45
Speaker 6: So we're not.
17:46
Speaker 1: Gonna beat the World Cup. We're just gonna try to
17:49
Speaker 1: take some of their fans and brainwash them to be
17:53
Speaker 1: our fans, which seems pretty smart. It seems pretty smart.
17:57
Speaker 1: So they launched this whole corporate two step Baseball and
18:01
Speaker 1: FIFA pretending though this is the part where the deception
18:04
Speaker 1: comes in. They pretend that they're introducing baseball to the world.
18:09
Speaker 1: It's just organic. While rather quietly, Big Baseball is stage
18:17
Speaker 1: managing pretty much every pretty much every spontaneous moment that
18:22
Speaker 1: is taking place. Those viral clips of those starry eyed Euros,
18:27
Speaker 1: the European tourists that fell in love with baseball. Oh
18:32
Speaker 1: I love it so much. Show it's so great. It's
18:36
Speaker 1: about as organic as watching The Phantom of the Opera
18:41
Speaker 1: on Broadway and thinking, boy, these people just showed up.
18:44
Speaker 1: They're pretty good dancing, and it seems like they know
18:47
Speaker 1: how to sing. I shocked. I just showed up. They
18:50
Speaker 1: didn't practice at all. They haven't dedicated their entire lives
18:53
Speaker 1: to dancing and singing. It just kind of happened. By
18:55
Speaker 1: the way, I hate musicals. I can't stand musicals. Oh
18:58
Speaker 1: my god, what a frickin' those are. But it's just
19:02
Speaker 1: like that, it's like gorgeous. It's just emotional, these sweet,
19:05
Speaker 1: innocent fans from a different part of the world coming
19:08
Speaker 1: to America and then we get to shoved down our throat.
19:12
Speaker 1: So everyone at the World Cup, every one at the
19:15
Speaker 1: World Cup, from visiting dignitaries, leaders of state, to the
19:22
Speaker 1: beautiful women that were handpicked for the cameras. Some of
19:25
Speaker 1: them with marketing deals. Allegedly, they all got the full
19:29
Speaker 1: WWE treatment, staged purely to heighten entertainment value. Now the takeaway,
19:35
Speaker 1: here's the big takeaway. Nothing is organic on the interweb.
19:41
Speaker 1: It doesn't happen, not in entertainment, not in sports, not
19:44
Speaker 1: in politics. It's all a hustle. It's all a manipulation.
19:49
Speaker 1: Every viral moment, every viral moment is just carefully organized arranged.
19:57
Speaker 1: It's a collision between brain and synergy and human emotion,
20:03
Speaker 1: the raw emotion of human beings, and it's served up
20:07
Speaker 1: for social media distribution. And it's a design to seduce
20:13
Speaker 1: the aug orhythm, the seduction of the alg orhythm. It
20:17
Speaker 1: is the Ben Mahlor Show. Now, I have newby Night
20:21
Speaker 1: going on right now, and we've opened up a couple lines,
20:23
Speaker 1: so if you would like to be part of newby Night. Now,
20:25
Speaker 1: what that means is all the regulars, Marcel, the guy
20:29
Speaker 1: who retired, Blind Scott and the Leprechaun and our buddy
20:34
Speaker 1: in New Hampshire and like all the regular guys that

Speaker 1: So excited about that. Now I'm not going to go
23:37
Speaker 1: into specifics, but there is a there's a part of
23:41
Speaker 1: the Fox Sports Radio compound, the iHeart building here, the
23:43
Speaker 1: Premier Networks building, where there was a sign that they
23:46
Speaker 1: put up which I think, and I've been in radio
23:49
Speaker 1: my entire adult life, is one of the all time
23:51
Speaker 1: great signs I've ever seen. This is like a top
23:53
Speaker 1: five sign that the over the top dramatic nature of
23:58
Speaker 1: the sign and I'm gonna get in too much show
24:02
Speaker 1: on it's so dramatic. Yeah, it involves massive explosions and
24:09
Speaker 1: things like it was just like wild warning, yeah warning.
24:13
Speaker 1: Uh So I'll probably save that for the podcast because
24:15
Speaker 1: my bosses don't listen to the podcast. But it's just
24:17
Speaker 1: absolutely great. Uh, it's I don't know how Coop's gonna
24:23
Speaker 1: You're gonna look at it, Coop. Coop's gonna go look
24:25
Speaker 1: at it, Coops. Now, now, Coop, you gotta walk out
24:27
Speaker 1: of the studio. You walk down the little courtyard area
24:29
Speaker 1: and then you turn right, keep going, Coop. And then
24:32
Speaker 1: you go down and there's a long hallway. Well, no,
24:35
Speaker 1: you gotta then you turn right and then you gotta
24:37
Speaker 1: turn left. You all the way down the hall and
24:42
Speaker 1: then you it kind of curves. It's a curby road
24:45
Speaker 1: the walkway, so you curve around the old studio. That's
24:48
Speaker 1: the that's a museum, the old studio where Richard RaRo
24:50
Speaker 1: worked back in the day and Craig Sheman and legends
24:53
Speaker 1: like Tom Looney and the people like that. Tony Bruno
24:56
Speaker 1: worked there. Jay Moore, the comedian J Moore did the show.
24:59
Speaker 1: So you walk down there you go, and then and
25:02
Speaker 1: then you see on the right is a vending machine.
25:07
Speaker 1: So you got that. And then right next to it
25:10
Speaker 1: is a couple of doors. There's two doors right there. Now.
25:12
Speaker 1: The one door on the left is where I normally
25:15
Speaker 1: hang out. I hide. I'm in bargoed back there. I
25:18
Speaker 1: hide in the back.
25:19
Speaker 8: He's a hermit.
25:21
Speaker 1: I hide from everyone. And then the door next to it,
25:24
Speaker 1: This is where the action is. You see, this is
25:26
Speaker 1: where the action is because the door next to it
25:29
Speaker 1: is just equipment, technical stuff that keeps us on the
25:34
Speaker 1: air and all that stuff. And then so that's that's
25:37
Speaker 1: and then that door was open. There's a fan. I
25:40
Speaker 1: don't want to say it's a big fan. It's the
25:42
Speaker 1: size of texts a huge fan. That's a big old fan.
25:46
Speaker 1: And then and then there's a yellow caution tape everywhere,
25:50
Speaker 1: and three at least three sides. Coop, you've now seen
25:54
Speaker 1: the sign. Coop, Yes, your thoughts. That seems like something
25:59
Speaker 1: that they probably figure out maybe let us know, possibly,
26:03
Speaker 1: I mean possibly, yeah, I don't know. I just I
26:06
Speaker 1: feel like a more permanent solution needs You don't think
26:10
Speaker 1: that's a permanent solution, Coup, What are you talking about?
26:12
Speaker 1: I don't know what you're talking about.
26:14
Speaker 3: I'm glad that's your first response, because like I'm over
26:16
Speaker 3: here to Ben, I was like, doesn't that seem dangerous?
26:20
Speaker 1: Well, I feel like there's gotta be some exaggeration in
26:22
Speaker 1: that sign. You would like to think there might be
26:24
Speaker 1: some exaggeration, but you don't want to find out that
26:27
Speaker 1: they're wrong and then kaboom. Well make the news though, right,
26:31
Speaker 1: that'd be a big story, right and go viral for
26:33
Speaker 1: a few hours on social media. But I just hope
26:35
Speaker 1: it doesn't happen on the night show. You want some
26:36
Speaker 1: time off? Oh that's true if our workplace is not available, Loraina, Okay, well,
26:45
Speaker 1: I'm sure I'll talk more about that down the line,
26:47
Speaker 1: but let's get to it right now. We have an
26:49
Speaker 1: our first international caller on newby Night. Now newby Morning,

28:46
Speaker 1: again on newby Nights. Squirrely D from Lubbock, Texas is
28:50
Speaker 1: next up. Hello squirrely D on a newby Night. Hello
28:53
Speaker 1: squirrely D. Hey, good morning, good morning, good morning, good morning.
28:58
Speaker 1: What's going on, squirrely D. How can we help you?
29:00
Speaker 1: Just call in and say hello? You got some amazing
29:02
Speaker 1: hot take here, squirrely D.
29:05
Speaker 4: Well, what I wanted to talk about was I'm agreeing
29:07
Speaker 4: with you on the thumbs down about the embracing of
29:10
Speaker 4: soccer in the United States. I feel like if they
29:15
Speaker 4: really wanted the United States to embrace it, there should
29:18
Speaker 4: have been MLS commercials during the games to hype it up.
29:22
Speaker 1: But there wasn't well. I did see the last I
29:25
Speaker 1: felt like the last couple of games. I did see
29:27
Speaker 1: some MLS. You know, we've got it from here. They
29:29
Speaker 1: did a whole marketing campaign We've got it from here,
29:32
Speaker 1: so I think they tried at the end. Those commercials
29:35
Speaker 1: are expensive though, squirrely D. That costs a lot of money.
29:38
Speaker 1: That Fox advertising was not cheap.
29:40
Speaker 4: Yeah, but how much did FIFA make off of it?
29:43
Speaker 4: If they want to expand the sport, they should have
29:47
Speaker 4: been able to help out the MLS a little bit.
29:50
Speaker 1: Well, they made so much money, squirrely d that they
29:52
Speaker 1: actually it's like El Choppo back in the day. They're
29:54
Speaker 1: bearing money somewhere in the ground. They have that much
29:56
Speaker 1: money from the World Cup, So you know.
29:58
Speaker 4: Hey, but they're squirreling.

Speaker 4: Yes, I'm sitting in a parking lot waiting for my
30:13
Speaker 4: manager to come and let me into the store so
30:15

30:44
Speaker 1: like several locations of Water Burger in Kansas City. All right,

31:34
Speaker 7: Good morning, Ben, good.
31:35
Speaker 1: Morning, good morning, good morning.
31:37
Speaker 7: Good morning. A couple of things real quick. I've been
31:40
Speaker 7: listening for a few years. That's really enjoyable show.
31:44
Speaker 1: Well, thank you.
31:45
Speaker 7: Two things real quick. The ever self promoting network, which
31:50
Speaker 7: you can put the letters together. How much is the
31:54
Speaker 7: NBA and the w NBA hemorrhaging right now that they
31:59
Speaker 7: have to do with some and then a fall league.
32:02
Speaker 7: It's like they're forcing it down our throws.
32:05
Speaker 1: Well, hey, they've always done that, like as long as
32:07
Speaker 1: I can remember, They've always had the summer League. It's
32:09
Speaker 1: never quite been as promoted as much as it is now.
32:12
Speaker 1: And they're they're trying. The w NBA people don't really
32:15
Speaker 1: care about it other than Caitlin Clark, but they're trying.
32:17
Speaker 1: They're trying to convince people, they're trying to get people engaged.
32:20
Speaker 1: They're giving it a shot.
32:22
Speaker 7: And then one other, one other thing. The best tacos
32:25
Speaker 7: I've ever had in my life. I had to go
32:27
Speaker 7: down to Long Beach for work. Yeah, and you start
32:31
Speaker 7: working your way through their neighborhood in like two three
32:33
Speaker 7: o'clock in the morning. They got these little taco stands.
32:36
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, those are a staple. My god. Yeah.
32:39
Speaker 7: I've been to mainland in Mexico, I've been to Baja.
32:42
Speaker 7: I've never had tacos in my life by Long Beach.
32:45
Speaker 1: I bet you though, if you went back there, John,
32:47
Speaker 1: to that taco stand, they wouldn't be quite the same.
32:50
Speaker 1: Your memory of those tacos is you never go back
32:54
Speaker 1: and have them again. They were that like. I had
32:56
Speaker 1: a great meal at a truck stop in Arizona when
32:59
Speaker 1: I was driving the spring training years ago, and I
33:01
Speaker 1: went back to that truck stop to recreate the meal.
33:06
Speaker 1: Didn't work. It didn't work. But you have a great memory, John,
33:10
Speaker 1: and that's important.
33:10
Speaker 7: All right, Thank you, sir.
33:11
Speaker 1: All right, go away. There's a B from somewhere in California.
33:15
Speaker 1: It's kind of a big state on a newbie night. Hello, B,
33:19
Speaker 1: Welcome B.
33:20
Speaker 5: What it be? B?
33:23
Speaker 3: What's that big Ben?
33:24
Speaker 1: Where are you at? And Cali? Where you're at?
33:26
Speaker 3: Man?
33:26
Speaker 1: Where you at?
33:26
Speaker 3: Over here in Diamond Bar?
33:28
Speaker 1: Oh, Diamond Bar? Oh? Come on, that's the home of
33:31
Speaker 1: Snoop Dogg right there, Diamond Bar.
33:33
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm a truck driver, but head out to Santa Maria.
33:38
Speaker 1: Oh cool, all right, little Central California action.
33:41
Speaker 3: Yeah. I just had an idea for the MLS to
33:44
Speaker 3: get more viewers.
33:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, what's that?
33:49
Speaker 3: How come they don't just allow offsides?
33:53
Speaker 1: There you go, just change the rule, have more scoring.
33:56
Speaker 1: You're good to go.
33:57
Speaker 3: Like the like the England and France game that was
34:00
Speaker 3: probably the best game of the World Cup.
34:02
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a good it's you know, people love scoring,
34:05
Speaker 1: so why not go with the scoring.
34:06
Speaker 3: Yeah. If Messi wanted to just stand back all game
34:09
Speaker 3: and talk to the goalie.
34:11
Speaker 1: He's like, I've determined that Messi is like a designated
34:14
Speaker 1: hitter in baseball. He just kind of stands there and
34:16
Speaker 1: uh and wait, you know, he didn't play defense. He
34:18
Speaker 1: just kind of hangs out waiting for cherry pick goals.
34:22
Speaker 1: And it worked for a while. It didn't work in
34:24
Speaker 1: the last game, but it did work for a while.
34:25
Speaker 3: So yeah, and I also wanted to ask you tuck him.
34:29
Speaker 3: They don't uh, why do they uh not let ties
34:32
Speaker 3: in baseball?
34:34
Speaker 1: Because ties are terrible. We don't like ties. You don't
34:37
Speaker 1: want tis. Why would you want ties? You don't want ties?
34:39
Speaker 3: Come on right, no, Tom because but everybody cries about
34:43
Speaker 3: the definited runner after the ninth innings.
34:48
Speaker 1: Well that's stupid. You shouldn't do that. Uh, just might
34:52
Speaker 1: as well do a home run derby or something, you know,
34:54
Speaker 1: just something like that. Now you got to when you're
34:56
Speaker 1: up that way. Now you gotta go. What's that Cinnamon
34:58
Speaker 1: Role place up there in central Callifornia. That's a great
35:01
Speaker 1: what's the name of it, Old West or something like that.
35:03
Speaker 1: Never been there, you've never been there. Yeah, it's a
35:06
Speaker 1: really good cinemon real place, I think it's called. It's
35:10
Speaker 1: in Pismo's in Pismo, which is a little further up.
35:12
Speaker 1: You're only going to Santa Maria, so you gotta a
35:14
Speaker 1: little further there be but it's uh, it's Old West cineminar. Oh,
35:21
Speaker 1: it's amazing. It's the greatest cinemao I've ever had. Is it?
35:24
Speaker 1: Old West Cinemonos and Pismo beas right near the ocean,
35:26
Speaker 1: right there, a couple of blocks away from the ocean.
35:28
