  Speaker 1: legitimate contender for Kyle Schwarber? Also, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts

  Speaker 1: said he supports an MLB salarycap and a salary floor.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: He did that in a recent TV appearance. Do you
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: believe that would fix baseball? Do they even need to
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: be fixed? And how do you read Mets reliever Devin

  Speaker 1: Just for giggles, do it, and that'll be next hour
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: hashtag ask Ben. But our lead this hour from the
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: hot Stove Lake. Hot's getting hot in here. It's getting
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: hot in here. Not our first voyage, not our maiden voyage.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: In the Hotstow League.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: So our lead this hour is from the speculation machine
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: in baseball, as we have the winter meetings upcoming and
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: there's a big build up and things get quiet over
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Christmas and New Years, and normally what happens in recent
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: years is there's always like three or four players and
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: for whatever reason don't sign, and then they go right
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: into spring training and have to sign in mid February.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: So you normally want to get that money right away.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: It's a little different this year because it's expected that
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: there will be a work stoppage upcoming in baseball, so
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: that'll change things a bit, and so the money, will
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: it be harder? You would assume you can't go in
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: there expecting you can get the full We'll see what
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: that brings. Getting bonkers in baseball speing a bonkers. I
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: saw this, I was like, I thought, well, this must
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: be satire. This must be satire. Story out of Cincinnati,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: the Reds, the Red Legs are interested in making a
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: run to the top of the free agency board and
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: they want to Kyle Schwarber bomb a Schwarz bomb Kyle Schwarber.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: That's the guy that hit a bunch of home runs
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: for the Phillies last year. Of course, the Phillies have
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: more money. Generally, if you have deeper pockets that can
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: hold more money, you get the player. So I don't
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: see if you saw this in now. So Schwarber is
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: from the outskirts of Cincinnati. He's from Ohio, about thirty
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: five forty miles or so from Cincinnati proper from Middletown, Ohio. Middletown, Ohio,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: so he's in the suburbs of Cincinnati. In the story
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: goes that he's interested in a possible homecoming and Reds
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: would give him a chance to play near all his
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: friends and family all the time, and they have Terry
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Francona and his championship pedigree and all that stuff, and
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: played the Dodgers and the playoffs, got smoked in the
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: wildcard round, although it was hardly anything that wildcard rounds
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: really for Gayzy. So the problem, of course is that
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: if it does come down to money, it's being polite here.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: The Reds have no chance. So that's a good jumping
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: off point. Now, then they could always just raise money
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: from Justin and Cincinnati and just Josh and some of
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: our other great Ohio listeners and could throw them in
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: and do that. But the question thumbs up or thumbs down?
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Thumbs up or thumbs down, are the Reds a legitimate
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: contender for Kyle Schwarber, the hometown kid. So my observations,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: I've got ward Daddy, household, has this waist and DreamWorks,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: and we will throw all of these things together and
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: we are going to run the gamut, is what we're
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: going to do. So Number one, this is baseball Kabooki
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: theater at its finest. The Cincinnati Reds, bless their frugal
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: little hearts, They're out there playing pretend that they can
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: match up with the big boys of baseball. In that cute.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: In that cute, they're upside down, upside down, putting on
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: their Sunday best the church clothes and acting like they're
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: ready to run with the big dogs. Run with the
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: big dogs. Of course, in reality, to use the dog
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: pound lingo, the Cincinnati Reds are like a little Yorkie,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: a little Yorky yapping, very loud, little Yorkie behind the fence,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: while the Philadelphia Phillies casually and arrogantly stroll by like
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: a pack of rott water. So I'm gonna go thumbs down.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Thumbs down is what I'm doing here. The Reds know
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: exactly what's going on, and we see this every so
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: often and been around the block a couple of times.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: And I'm a talk show host, so I don't mind
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: my own beeswax and all that stuff. So here's what
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: this is, until proven otherwise.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: And this is a.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Dirty little trick that professional sports teams do. You probably
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: it depends what team you like, but your team's probably
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: done this. So you make a token offer. Okay, you
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: make a token offer to the big free agent, and
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: the good faith handshake the like this would be like, hey, Kyle,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: we know you're from here. We'd love d have you
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: come home. Give the whole speech. You talk about how
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: your family can come watch you play, your high school buddies,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: your elementary school teachers can come watch it play.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: You know, just lay it on really.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Thick, just thick and like a thick malt, and knowing
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: full well that Schwarber is gonna stiff arm you and
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: go right to the highest bidder. He's gonna push you
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: into the nearest cornfield. But for the low information fan,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: that the casual that doesn't really pay attention, say boom,
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: the Reds tried, they tried the just don't have enough body,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: They tried, you know, optics marketing, all of that stuff,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: season ticket sugar coating. Meanwhile, schwarbs, who's on the hunt
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: for that last Glory Road payday And he's at the intersection,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Kyle Schwarbert of Glory Road and the Yellow Brick Road
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: paved with Benjamin Franklin's that's what he wants. He's right there,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Glory Road converses with Yellow Brick Road. The man Monster
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: mashed fifty six homers. That's a lot of dingers stinging, ding,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: ding ding. That's a lot of dingers drove in one
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: hundred and thirty two runs for the Fighting Phills. You'd
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: don't slap a discount sticker after a season like that.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: That is a war daddy performance by Kyle Schwarber. He
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: was ooey gooey baseball goodness is what he was. That's
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: s'mores level. Now I'm not a big smores guy. Everyone
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: saw you go out camping. You feel like it's a
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: right of passage. If you go camping, you gotta have
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: some smores and all that. Get that chalk that the marshmallows,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: the Graham crackers, all that delicious, but only once in
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: a while if you need it too much, it's like
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: not so good. But Cincinnati is not a real contender.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: They're not.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: They're the window shopper, not the buyers what they are.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: The Phillies will simply drop the bag. They'll nod politely
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: and say hey, and they'll walk away, uh with with
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Schwarber like they're picking up their dry cleaning. You know,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: I've got my I need my Can I get my jacket?
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: Okay?
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Well I got to jack.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: What my wife's got a dress? Can we get that?
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: Shure? We'll get you that as well. Keep an eye
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: on the red Sox. Also the Texas Rangers seems like
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: that the they spent a lot of money. I don't
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: know about the Padres. I've heard the Padres mentioned. I
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: feel like they're gonna down grade and get rid of
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: some guys this offseason. All right, now, page two to
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: la the raining back to back champions of Major League
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: Baseball talking baseball. Yeah, so the Dodgers, big.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: Money, big money, big money. No emmy, no ways stop. Yeah,
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: big money, big money.
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: Al Right.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: So the Dodgers manager, who I have fired no less
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: than twelve times over the years, Dave Roberts, is now
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: endorsing the draconian salarycap. Did you see this? Yeah, the
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: guy said, we're gonna go out and ruin baseball Dave Roberts.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: So the question Dodgers managed. Dave Roberts said he supports
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: a Major League Baseball plan for a salary cap and
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: a salary floor. He did this in a recent television interview.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Do you believe that this would be the magic plussebo
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: to fix baseball? All right? So this let me explain this.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: And I've talked about this in the past and previous
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: episodes of the show, and I don't want to lose
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: my mind on this again. I don't need to do that.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: I'm sure we're talking about this issue more as we
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: go for just soar on the same page. But my position,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: the thumbnail recap of this, this will fix baseball the
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: same way if you have a sinkhole, you just put
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: some duct tape together and you'll fix the sinkhole. Everything
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: will be fine. Just well, it's a big fole. I know,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: it's a big hole. But we've got some really good
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: We've got some duct tape and you know what, I'll
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: throw in some gorilla glue. So we'll get the duct
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: tape and the gorilla glue and then we'll be good.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: But it's a sinkhole, I know, But just go with it.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: Why not so? Dave Roberts knows it's not happy the
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: union and he was part of that as a player.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: The Union would turn this thing into a civil war
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: followed by a nuclear winter. You would need a hazmat
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: suit just to attend the bargaining sessions.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: If that would happen.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: And the very notion that a salary floor, magically, it's
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: like magically delicious. It will create this competitive balance that
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: all you people want pollaise this has already been debunked.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: It has already been debunked only the unsophisticated rubes by
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: that nonsense. Right, So let me use some malord math
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: on this. I'll give you some other man. So, the
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: salary cap floor, whatever it is, whatever the salary cap
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: floor is, does not build contenders. What it does is
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: it builds toxic waste uh depots, if you will, for
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: bad contracts like we've seen the We've seen this, We've
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: read the book. We've read the book before. For example,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: I'll give you an example. Let's say the Red Sox, the
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Boston Red Sox, about they signed a guy a picture.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: It turns out, you know, it's good for a couple
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: of years. Then he gets hurt. He's by the time
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: he's got like three or four years left in the contract,
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: he's a thirty four year old pitcher with a ucl
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: stitched together like a quilt and a contract fatter than
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: a buffet back when they used to have good buffets
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: in Vegas, Like really big contract, right, tommyjo A couple
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: of times, what do you do?
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: You ship them off to Pittsburgh? Or how about the Dodgers.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: Say the Dodgers have a thirty seven year old slugger
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: who's hitting a buck sixty with four home runs in
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: the batspeed of a rotary phone. What are you gonna do?
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: You send him to West Sacramento, to the Athletics and
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: West Sacramento and they will gladly take him. And the
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: reason those teams will take them is because they need
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: to reach the floor. You've got to reach. The floor
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: is lava. You have to reach the floor. They'll become
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: the household, the teams like the A's and the Pirates
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: and Marlins and Tampa Bay, these type of teams will
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: become the household hazardous waste collection center of Major League Baseball.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: Bring your expired meds and your useless veterans and we'll
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: take them all. A cap doesn't fix baseball, it does not,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: and a floor does not fix it. It just makes
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: tanking easier. The problem is the lack of ambition. And
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: it's a dirty little secret that everyone kind of knows about.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: It's an open secret that you don't really have to
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: try to make money. You don't have to sell tickets
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: to make money. You don't even have to get people
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: to watch your games on TV to make money. It's
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: it's the kind of a business where just by owning
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: it you're going to make money. Now, the way that
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: a lot of these teams are complaining they're not making
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: enough money is the oldest trick in the book is like,
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: well we made Let's take a random team and we
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: use of course, this is for entertainment purposes only, but
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: let's take a team the Cleveland the Indian slash Guardians,
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: I guess called the Guardians now because you Wokesters. But
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: the team in Cleveland, let's say in twenty twenty four,
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: they made a profit. Out of all the expenses and
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: all that that's said, they cleared forty five million dollars. Okay,
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: it's a lot of money, not maybe as much as say,
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: but let's just say forty five million just for the
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: purposes of this demonstration.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: So forty five million.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: And then you pivot to twenty twenty five and they
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: made they only made this year, they made.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: Twenty five million.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: So then the ownership in Cleveland said, well, we lost
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: twenty million dollars. This is not sustainable. You still made
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: twenty five million, numb nuts, but yeah, but we made
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: forty five the year before who we lost twenty No,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: you didn't lose twenty million dollars. Dumb, dumb. But the
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: main issue is teams that just don't really care. They
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: just don't care, and they're just kind of hanging out
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: and they're malingering, is what they are now. Final point
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: to New York City. We go and after agreeing to
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: a ridonculous deal with the New York Metropolitans, where leaf
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: pitcher Devin Williams decided, Hey, I'm a Met, now let
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: me take a swipe at the Yankee fan. He did
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: this on the gram Instagram. Uh yeah, he did it
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: on Instagram. Williams posted quote for a bunch of people
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: that didn't want me back on your team, y'all sure
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: are mad in the DMS. It's highlighting Devin Williams and
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: frustration with the inconsistent fans support by the kiddos in
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: the Bronx. So the question how do you read Mets
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: reliever Devin Williams busting the chops of Yankee fans on
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: social media? So on this one, Devin Williams has officially
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: entered Based on a minute long deliberation by The Ben
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: Mather Show, Devin Williams has officially entered his DreamWorks Animation Era.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: The guy leaves the Bronx and immediately stars in Trolls three.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: The queen's addition, yes, cannot help yourself, cannot do it,
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: No chance can I do It's classic Internet malpractice. Classic
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: Internet malpractice. You'd think after years in Milwaukee and a
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: cup of coffee with the Yankees, like five minutes, his
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: biggest contribution with the Yankees is they thought he was
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: so good that they changed their facial hair policy to
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: coddle Devin Williams so he could go out there and
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: have an ERA of almost five. If they had known
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: he was going to pitch like that, they'd still have
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: the facial hair policy in the Bronx.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: But nonetheless, listen.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: The rule number one. Rule number one is of the Internet.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: You don't You don't feed the trolls. Feeding the trolls
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: only creates more trolls. You don't do it. And most
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: of the trolls are not real anyway, They're all bought
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: farms in Moldova. And so instead, my man, my pots
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: and pans, my man Devin Williams. He dives in head
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: first like he's bobbing for apples at a frat party,
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: and in the Yankee fans.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: Now they should be thrilled.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: This guy's gone. He's the poster boy if somebody can't
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: handle pressure in Yankee Stadium. His era was four to
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: seventy nine. The dude goes out post a four to
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: seventy nine era, which in baseball terms, if you're a
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: shutdown closer, means you sucked precisely when you're not allowed
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: to suck. That is a felony as a closer and
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: in the Bronx. And his punishment is that he goes
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: across to the Mets and they cut him a check
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: for fifty one minute.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: I think E Dog is the one that cut him
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: that check there. I believe E Dog on Long Island.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: I took care of him. But you talk about falling
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: upward like this guy's got anti gravity boots strapped on,
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: like he's training for NASA, And now he's chirping at
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: the Yankee fans and his DMS and all that stuff,
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: and you'll save the inspirational speech is big fella. Okay,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: the trolls are the only reason anyone's talking about you.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: And it is December, But welcome to Queens, Devin. You
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: might want to bring a helmet there because the Mets
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: fans will be doing the same thing by about May first.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: By about May first, they'll be doing the same thing.

  Speaker 10: Look at Luca Dominica.
• 25:43
  Speaker 12: You know.
• 25:43
  Speaker 10: Anyways, I was like, I'm trying to figure out if
• 25:46
  Speaker 10: I want to pay my drive up from San Diego
• 25:48
  Speaker 10: from Pacific Beach to the Lakers to watch the game.
• 25:52
  Speaker 10: I don't know, man, it is a birthday to spend
• 25:55
  Speaker 10: three hundred dollars on these on these guys.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: My my ice, and you should never take advice from
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: overnight talk radio is to find the game. The Lakers
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: play against a really bad team kind of during the
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: week when there's not a lot of interest in going
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: to the game, and then waiting and buying the tickets
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: on the secondary market right before. It's risky. But if
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: it's well, it's risky in disrespect. I mean you might
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: not be able to do it, but if you wait
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: until the last minute, you could probably get in pretty cheap.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: You just gotta wait, you gotta yeah.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: But you gotta buy it last minute, buy like buy
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: like on a Wednesday when they're playing Charlotte or something,
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: you know, something take a bad team. I don't know.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: I don't even.
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: I think he's hurt. Anyway, Well, good luck.
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: I hope you.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: I hope you enjoy your skinny dipping and uh, you know,
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: pick up beautiful people.
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: I don't know what to tell you.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: All right, thank you?
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: All right, Man Domingo.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: Guys out there that's called you know, there's multitasking guys
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: out there picking up people and at the clubs, and
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: he's calling talk radio. That's two for one right there. Loraina,
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: do you know when? Do you know when international waters start? Now?
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: About that mile?
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: I do not. What do you think? Let's play let's
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: play a little game with Loraina. How many I don't know.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: Coop's probably googling me already, but how many to get
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: to international waters? All right? How many miles out do
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: you have to go to get the international waters?
• 27:26
  Speaker 9: I'm gonna say, ah, fifteen miles.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: Bad, fifteen miles.
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: All right, very good, Coop. Did you google this already?
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: Did you?
• 27:38
  Speaker 13: I did not.
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: Okay, you want to play the game.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: We're playing the game here with all the great oceans
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: of the world there, the Pacific, the Atlantic, the Indian Ocean,
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: all the other oceans out there, how far out do
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: you have to go to get to international waters?
• 27:51
  Speaker 13: I'm gonna go, and.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: These are known as the high seas. Coop, International waters
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: are known as the high seas.
• 27:57
  Speaker 13: Are trying to throw me off. I'm to go five miles?
• 28:02
  Speaker 9: Then, yes, I do mile.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: I ought to say.
• 28:05
  Speaker 9: I have been on a cruise ship before, and on
• 28:08
  Speaker 9: the last day they usually dock you off of the
• 28:11
  Speaker 9: land where you can still gamble, and it has to
• 28:14
  Speaker 9: be far enough.
• 28:15
  Speaker 13: That's never happened to where it is international waters.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, so well that's.
• 28:20
  Speaker 9: Why I'm like, okay, it can't be too far.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: Well, Lorena, you are the closest, but you went over
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: so Coop does money, it's it's twelve nautical miles. I
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: would have been right miles.
• 28:32
  Speaker 9: My second guess was on the dot money, I would I.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: Would assume a nautical mile is longer than a regular mile, right,
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: wouldn't that be, I would think, right, I don't know
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: the maritime it is rules. Yeah, so twelve miles and
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: yeah there's a that's your fun fact of the hour.
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: Of the baby.
• 28:50
  Speaker 9: We nautical miles is equal to fifteen.
• 28:53
  Speaker 13: Regularly nautical mile is slightly longer than a land.
• 28:55
  Speaker 9: I bet it is fifteen regular land miles then, which
• 28:58
  Speaker 9: means I'm probably even more.
• 28:59
  Speaker 13: Now it's not. I don't know, well at one.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: It's now.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: When I was a kid, I remember, I think it
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: was one of my grandfathers. One of my grandfathers was
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: kind of a shady guy, and during Prohibition they had
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: gambling uh and and and boats with alcohol and they'd
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: go out to international waters so they could drink and gamble.
• 29:27
  Speaker 14: So it doesn't necessarily have to be international waters though, right,
• 29:31
  Speaker 14: because they've got I mean, how does that work with
• 29:33
  Speaker 14: like the riverboat casinos like in the like in the
• 29:36
  Speaker 14: Ozarks they have.
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: But that's not how does that work?
• 29:41
  Speaker 13: Is that is that on? Is that technically on Indian
• 29:43
  Speaker 13: Indian waters?
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: You're it's I don't know. I mean, I'm not sure
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: how that works.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: I just know that I remember hearing stories about and
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: like when they try to get rid of alcohol and
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: stuff that people would get take these boat trips and
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: gamble and all kinds of debauchery. Uh you know they
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: in and yeah, anyway, all right, it is the pen
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: Mall Show. Let's go to E Dog.

  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying that that's a non sequitor.
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: What does that mean? I'm trying to mention my language.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, well it's interesting you don't know what that is,
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: because you are the definition of non sequitar man, like
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: I should call you e Dog the non sequitary man.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: That should be your name on the show. And most
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: people don't know what that Lorenda, do you know what
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: a non sequitor is? Lauren?
• 32:44
  Speaker 9: Yeah, it's the thing that it doesn't really have to
• 32:47
  Speaker 9: do with what you're talking.
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: About, right, yeah, pretty much.
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: It's it's not like we're having a conversation.
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: Exactly. Yeah, you go off the reservation.
• 32:58
  Speaker 9: You know, I'm smart.
• 32:59
  Speaker 13: She didn't even google that.
• 33:01
  Speaker 9: Of the smartest people I ever met or talked teaching
• 33:05
  Speaker 9: kids in college and you only know two people, but
• 33:08
  Speaker 9: she's very small.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: Yes, that is correct.
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: This quick this answer. You know what akering college? No,
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: I'm not, you're not familiar university? And thinking about that?
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: Is that on Long Island?
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: Is that on Long Island?
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: That's in Ohio?
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: Of course it is.
• 33:28
  Speaker 11: And the thing about this is if if I don't
• 33:33
  Speaker 11: know what I'm saying, I gotta.
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: Go Okay, thank you.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: See that's it. He's non secretary man. That's exactly. That's
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: an example being non secretary man. Okay, thank you, oh God,
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: let's go to Let's go to Emmett real quick. Is
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: it is this Emmett the blind Seahawks man? Is he there? Hello?
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: Emmett? Real quick? What's got? What's going on?
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: Emmett? Hello?
• 33:54
  Speaker 8: What's going on?
• 33:55
  Speaker 4: How are you doing?
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: If I was.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: Any better, I would be a Seahawks, but not a
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawk because they're not going to win the championship
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: with Sam Darnold and all that.
• 34:04
  Speaker 8: So defense went championships, Ben, That's all I'm gonna say.
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: I mean, that was before you were alive in your lifetime.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: That's not true.
• 34:12
  Speaker 8: I mean, look a look at the Eagles last year,
• 34:15
  Speaker 8: though they absolutely stuffed Mahomes and they won. I mean, look,
• 34:20
  Speaker 8: it's just one of those things. Yeah, I gotta get
• 34:22
  Speaker 8: to break, so I'll be quick with this. Chris Paul Man,
• 34:25
  Speaker 8: I get that. Obviously, Chris Paul's probably washed now. Like
• 34:28
  Speaker 8: the dude is very old. I mean, the younger people
• 34:30
  Speaker 8: will call him unk. But I just think that this
• 34:33
  Speaker 8: is a petty move because the Clippers, unfortunately are not
• 34:37
  Speaker 8: on pace to be what they should be, and you
• 34:39
  Speaker 8: know what, maybe we thought they were going to be
• 34:41
  Speaker 8: and Chris Paul was trying to hold these guys accountable
• 34:44
  Speaker 8: and Kylee didn't like that. And I think that I
• 34:47
  Speaker 8: feel bad for Chris Paul because he clearly wanted to
• 34:49
  Speaker 8: end his career here and he wanted to play a
• 34:51
  Speaker 8: full season, you know, go back to home. He obviously
• 34:54
  Speaker 8: his family's there. I mean, the reports are coming out
• 34:57
  Speaker 8: that Chris Paul is gonna sign with Koop de Loops Lakers,
• 35:00
  Speaker 8: like that's if he doesn't.
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: I hope, I hope he goes to the Lakers, because
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: he can't.
• 35:06
  Speaker 8: I hope he's not coming to the Lakers.
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: I pray, I pray that he goes.
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna pray to Jesus he goes, like I want
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: to see that. I want to I want to see
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: him play forty minutes a game is what I want
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: to see too.
• 35:19
  Speaker 8: Oh wow, Hey, maybe maybe maybe he'll have like a
• 35:21
  Speaker 8: little redemption tour with the Lakers. I mean, maybe they'll
• 35:24
  Speaker 8: just bring it out.
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: And maybe maybe I'll be named the governor of California.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: Maybe that will happen.
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: Also, could I.
• 35:31
  Speaker 8: Mean probably better on you'll have now, But I mean.
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: If you look at you. That's a third rail, mom
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: man third.
• 35:39
  Speaker 8: Yeah, that was that was a little while.
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: Listen, California leads the country in taxes.
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: And homeless people.
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: So we're doing very well. Thank you. I gotta go.
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: There you go?
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: Is is our guy right there?
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: Emmett, the blind Seahawk fan who believes everything, every piece
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: of Chris Paul propaganda he believes he does. So the blooper.
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: The blooper rewarded.
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: I can't believe this happened. Mark Andrews.
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: Remember he dropped the game tying two point conversion in
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: the divisional round for the Ravens against Buffalo in Buffalo.
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: The Bills won the game twenty seven to twenty five,
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: so I thought Mark Andrews would be done. Apparently he's
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: the only guy that Lamar Jackson still likes to throw to,
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: and so the Ravens have agreed to a deal. Mark
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: Andrews gets a thirty nine million dollar extension, twenty six
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: million guaranteed. I'm that's I'm surprised by it. I know
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: he's the all time leader and all these numbers because
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: he's been there a long time for the Ravens, but
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: he's older, and I thought about that would be the
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: kill shot, and they're keeping him around. He's like the
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: mascot there in Baltimore. He got to keep Mark Andrews around.
• 36:42

  Speaker 12: The Lions have not won back to back game since
• 40:10
  Speaker 12: Week five, and on Tuesday, Dan Campbell said that the
• 40:13
  Speaker 12: team's margin for ERA is small. Then do you think
• 40:16
  Speaker 12: that the Lions could miss out on the playoffs?
• 40:19
  Speaker 5: Oh?
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, I mean they're not in the playoffs now, and
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: then they got the Cowboys tonight, they got the Rams.
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: They gotta still play.
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: They gotta play the Bears. Although they absolutely smoked the
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: Bears the last time they played him, So, yeah, he's legit.
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: They've already lost five games. Yeah, they don't have a
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: lot of margin. Bearer, They don't feel like a playoff
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: team the way they play. They feel like a like
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: a Steeler team, a five hundred type team.
• 40:41
  Speaker 12: Next the Giant Joe Shane Ye, Joe Shane the Giants GM.
• 40:49
  Speaker 12: Joe Shane told the media this week that quote, the
• 40:52
  Speaker 12: pieces are there for the Giants and that he has
• 40:54
  Speaker 12: confidence that they will find the right coach to lead
• 40:56
  Speaker 12: the organization. Ben, do you think the Giants are the
• 41:01
  Speaker 12: right head coach away from it all clicking?
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: Well, here's what's gonna happen. I saw a little bit
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: of that Joe Shane news commerce we didn't talk about
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: it on the show. Joe Shane's gonna be fired at
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: the end of the year. Total debacle. He did not
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: handle that. Well, he won't be there, so he won't
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: be hiring the coach. Yeah, if you hire a good coach,
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: you can win. The Rams suck for years. They hired
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: Sean McVay. But if you hire a coach that knows
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: what they're doing and get halfway decent players, it's not
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: that hard.
• 41:25
  Speaker 12: Next, it was important Tuesday that UNC has committed to
• 41:27
  Speaker 12: Bill Belichick quote for at least one more year. Ben,

  Speaker 12: do you think that Belichick will actually last another year
• 41:33
  Speaker 12: at North Carolina.
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: Well, Belichick is trying to move them outains to get
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: an NFL head coaching job. He's working back channels, he's
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: using all his buddies to try to massage owners to
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: get a job. If you can get a job in
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: the NFL is gone. I don't think he's gonna be
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: able to get a job. I would like to see
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: him in the NFL, the chances are very low, so
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: I think therefore he goes back to North Carolina and
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: there it is malin a third degree. How dead weight?
• 41:56
