- 3:51Speaker 1: Talking Bay's Ball. We have a follow up to The
- 3:55Speaker 1: Mushroom Cloud by the Bay. The Mushroom Cloud by the Bay,
- 4:00Speaker 1: a story we talked about previously, the finger wag heard
- 4:06Speaker 1: around the baseball world. So if you've not heard the
- 4:08Speaker 1: latest on this, perhaps not the Giants' first baseman, Rafael
- 4:14Speaker 1: Devers place third sometimes too, but Rafael Devers. Rafael Devers
- 4:20Speaker 1: has publicly apologized. Why would he do that? Well, he
- 4:25Speaker 1: apologized to his manager, Tony Vaytello, who Danny and Nashville
- 4:29Speaker 1: told me was gonna be God's gift to baseball. I
- 4:31Speaker 1: have a feeling he'll be back in Knoxville managing soon anyway.
- 4:35Speaker 1: Giants first baseman Rafael Devers publicly apologizing to the skipper
- 4:40Speaker 1: Tony Vitello, after showing him up in a random game
- 4:45Speaker 1: over the weekend. When the manager attempted to put a
- 4:48Speaker 1: pinch runner in, Rafael Devers shoot him away. He did
- 4:52Speaker 1: the shoe sign and go, go, go, shoot him away.
- 4:56Speaker 1: I did not want the pinch runner in the game.
- 4:58Speaker 2: There.
- 4:59Speaker 1: That was in Miami. Devers drew a leadoff walk. He
- 5:02Speaker 1: waved off the rookie pinch runner Jonah Cox, and then
- 5:07Speaker 1: got very angry. There was a lot of bad body
- 5:10Speaker 1: language directed towards the Giants dugout. He covered his face
- 5:15Speaker 1: with his helmet. He yelled into it because that always works,
- 5:19Speaker 1: and did leave the field and all that stuff. He
- 5:24Speaker 1: avoided the backslap the atta boy by the Giants bench
- 5:29Speaker 1: coach there Jace Tingler, and went straight to sulk in
- 5:34Speaker 1: the Giants clubhouse. I'm out of here now. Devers, who
- 5:36Speaker 1: does not speak to the media much. Why would he
- 5:40Speaker 1: even though he's a three hundred million dollar guy, he
- 5:42Speaker 1: doesn't like to talk to the media. He did address
- 5:45Speaker 1: this on Tuesday before the game against the Vagabond Orphans
- 5:51Speaker 1: of Baseball the Athletics. He said it was quote a misunderstanding,
- 5:57Speaker 1: is what Devers said. He thought Vitello was to lingering
- 6:01Speaker 1: hamstring soreness he had mentioned earlier, and he says that
- 6:07Speaker 1: is no longer an issue. Okay. Devers apologized to Vytello,
- 6:11Speaker 1: the manager, and said that that happened in the manager's
- 6:15Speaker 1: office after the game and they talked on the long
- 6:19Speaker 1: flight from Florida back to the West Coast. Devers called
- 6:24Speaker 1: the incident quote heat of the moment. Devers said he
- 6:27Speaker 1: also accused who do you think he accused of being
- 6:29Speaker 1: the bad guy? Do you think he accused Tony Vitello?
- 6:32Speaker 1: Do you think he accused buster posey. Do you think
- 6:34Speaker 1: he accused his teammates, Do you think he accused the fans,
- 6:37Speaker 1: or do you think he accused the media? The media?
- 6:42Speaker 1: He played the media card from the bottom of the deck,
- 6:45Speaker 1: because we all know those baseball writers don't lick the
- 6:49Speaker 1: toes of the players. No, no, no, no, no, not
- 6:53Speaker 1: at all. No fanboys in the media. Oh they're mean.
- 6:57Speaker 1: One of the meanest media towns, San Francisco. Whole crap
- 7:01Speaker 1: man alive. Anyway, So Devers again he blamed the media,
- 7:05Speaker 1: said the media blew it out of proportion. And and
- 7:08Speaker 1: then this is why he avoids talking to the reporters,
- 7:12Speaker 1: he said, because you evil media. If it wasn't for
- 7:15Speaker 1: you meddling reporters, I would still be with a Red
- 7:18Speaker 1: Sox and them. All right, So that is a good
- 7:21Speaker 1: jumping off point. Let us discuss the question. You've got
- 7:24Speaker 1: giant slugger Rafael Devers saying that his base rushing base
- 7:30Speaker 1: running hissy fit, never saying his base running hissy fit
- 7:34Speaker 1: was a quote misunderstanding. He blamed the media for blowing
- 7:39Speaker 1: it out of proportion. And so what direction does all
- 7:43Speaker 1: this point you towards? So I've got baked vanilla kmart
- 7:49Speaker 1: and British airwaves and we will combine all all of
- 7:55Speaker 1: these things together, baked vanilla camart in British airways and
- 7:58Speaker 1: we are going to put the bi get in the basket,
- 8:01Speaker 1: is what we're going to do. So number one, number run,
- 8:06Speaker 1: number one, Sweet baby Jesus, that's the phrase here. This
- 8:11Speaker 1: was a come to Jesus meeting for Rafael Devers and
- 8:15Speaker 1: the Giants here the Giants Endeavors. Buster Posey called him
- 8:18Speaker 1: aside and read him the Riot Act, and Devs was
- 8:23Speaker 1: convinced or had his arm twisted either way, uh that
- 8:26Speaker 1: he had to do this. The Giants Endeavors were getting cooked,
- 8:29Speaker 1: absolutely cooked on real media and fake social media. So
- 8:34Speaker 1: they circled the wagons and they went down to the
- 8:37Speaker 1: Gilroy Garlic Festival together and they found a garlic cotton
- 8:43Speaker 1: candy machine and they started spinning the garlic and the
- 8:46Speaker 1: sugar together and they said, Okay, that's what we gotta do.
- 8:50Speaker 1: We gotta spin the garlic and the sugar and that's
- 8:53Speaker 1: what we gotta do. So the manager Tony Vitello played along,
- 8:56Speaker 1: what choice does he have? He backed Devers strongly a
- 9:00Speaker 1: quote non issue, that's a lie and highlighting how he
- 9:05Speaker 1: treats Vitello's family. Well that's great. So is Devors nicer
- 9:09Speaker 1: to your kids than he is you? Apparently, so we
- 9:13Speaker 1: gave that the yawn treatment. That was a yawn. That
- 9:17Speaker 1: was a yawn. So this is a version of the truth.
- 9:21Speaker 1: It is a version of the truth. It is just
- 9:23Speaker 1: not the whole truth, and nothing but the truth that
- 9:26Speaker 1: the spin, spin, spin, spin, spin, spin. The spin from
- 9:30Speaker 1: this Giant's roller coaster can trigger temporary motion sickness, so
- 9:37Speaker 1: be very very careful and a clinical episode of vertigo.
- 9:41Speaker 1: That's how much spin is going on on this now.
- 9:44Speaker 1: You check the air quality index in the Giants clubhouse there.
- 9:49Speaker 1: Devs apologized because he had to. The Giants accepted because
- 9:53Speaker 1: they had to, And they're all doing this for the
- 9:56Speaker 1: court of public opinion. Nobody believe any of this, like seriously,
- 10:01Speaker 1: and nobody with half an IQ point believes any of this.
- 10:04Speaker 1: Like even our friend Eileen in San Francisco, she's snickering
- 10:06Speaker 1: right now, saying, oh, this is bull crap. You know,
- 10:09Speaker 1: this is it? You know what this is. It is
- 10:11Speaker 1: going down to the Gilroy Garlic Festival, which I love.
- 10:15Speaker 3: I know.
- 10:16Speaker 1: They stopped it for a few years because of some
- 10:18Speaker 1: terrible things. But I used to go. I have been
- 10:20Speaker 1: many times and I love it. I need to get
- 10:22Speaker 1: back there. But the Gilroy Garlic Festival, which is the
- 10:25Speaker 1: world's capital of garlic. So you go down there and
- 10:29Speaker 1: you find the porta potty at the Gilroy Garlic Festival,
- 10:32Speaker 1: and you tip it over and you throw some you
- 10:35Speaker 1: spray some for breeze on top of the porta potty,
- 10:38Speaker 1: and what it does is it adds a baked vanilla
- 10:41Speaker 1: smell on top of the smoldering pile of turds. In
- 10:45Speaker 1: this case, the Giants are the porta potty with the
- 10:48Speaker 1: smoldering pile of turds, and Raphael Devers is a chaos
- 10:53Speaker 1: agent with unfortunately for him, a weak bat and a
- 10:56Speaker 1: fat contract. Now page two. So Devers I was at
- 11:02Speaker 1: the Giants were in La Actually I was there with
- 11:03Speaker 1: Marlin's Man, my buddy Marlin's Man, and that was one
- 11:06Speaker 1: of the last games I went to. There. We were
- 11:08Speaker 1: sitting there watching and the news came down that Rafaeld
- 11:11Speaker 1: Devers had been traded to the Giants. It was like
- 11:14Speaker 1: a big deal. It was a Sunday night game and
- 11:16Speaker 1: all that, and Devers was acquired with a lot of optimism.
- 11:19Speaker 1: In fact, the Red Sox sent several bags of optimism
- 11:22Speaker 1: to the Giants when that trade went down, and that
- 11:25Speaker 1: was about a year ago. About a year ago. However,
- 11:29Speaker 1: be careful what you wish for. Devers has not only
- 11:32Speaker 1: been a baseball player. He's been horrible in San Francisco.
- 11:35Speaker 1: It's not my opinion, it's a fact. He has not
- 11:38Speaker 1: been providing ROI. Return on investment has not been good.
- 11:42Speaker 1: So the question. Rafael Devers has now apologized for showing
- 11:47Speaker 1: up his manager, breaking baseball decorum. He has now apologized.
- 11:52Speaker 1: The Giants still stink, and when they don't stink, they smell.
- 11:56Speaker 1: And so how does all this look from thirty thousand
- 11:59Speaker 1: feet up the sky? How does all this look? So?
- 12:02Speaker 1: Using my spidy like senses, all right, San Francisco, what
- 12:07Speaker 1: they're doing now is they're putting extra rich and creamy
- 12:11Speaker 1: Betty Crocker frosting on a cake that is stale. You
- 12:15Speaker 1: can put the greatest frosting in the world in the cake.
- 12:18Speaker 1: The cake is still stale. So what do you do? Seriously,
- 12:22Speaker 1: you check the locker room talksins and again, Rafael Devers,
- 12:27Speaker 1: it's not you, it's you. That's what Buster Posey would say.
- 12:31Speaker 1: So the president of Baseball ops you, Buster Posy. Now
- 12:34Speaker 1: he noted that it's just frustrating. The team's not very good,
- 12:39Speaker 1: team is terrible. Blah blah blah blah, it's been a
- 12:42Speaker 1: bad season. However, Posey has not ruled out decommissioning Rafael Devers,
- 12:51Speaker 1: has not ruled out excommunicating him at the deadline, even
- 12:57Speaker 1: though Tony Vatello, the manager, publicly gave a bubble bath
- 13:02Speaker 1: to Rafael Devers. So using my Mallar branded crystal ball,
- 13:08Speaker 1: my Maltha branded crystal ball, Buster Posey sounding like a
- 13:11Speaker 1: man who is using chat GPT to try to figure
- 13:15Speaker 1: out how to trade a depreciating asset and get something
- 13:19Speaker 1: in return. And when that fails, he's gonna go down.
- 13:24Speaker 1: I'm gonna start a pop up Kmart, and Rafael Devers
- 13:29Speaker 1: is marked down to sell all right price to sell.
- 13:33Speaker 1: That is a blue Light special Kmart Blue Light Special,
- 13:37Speaker 1: and Posey's going to be standing outside Oracle Park with
- 13:42Speaker 1: sandwich board that says, make me an offer, Make me
- 13:47Speaker 1: an offer, with the shame bell be ringing the shame
- 13:50Speaker 1: bell as he does that. So the big question for
- 13:54Speaker 1: the Giants here is certainly I'm a Dodger guys, so
- 13:57Speaker 1: it's not my team. But if you're a Giant's apologist, here,
- 14:00Speaker 1: can Buster posey capture the greater fool?
- 14:05Speaker 4: Right?
- 14:05Speaker 1: You gotta find the greater fool, the bigger sucker. And
- 14:08Speaker 1: Rafael Devers has proven that he did not need a
- 14:11Speaker 1: change of scenery because he's playing about as well as
- 14:14Speaker 1: he did for the Boston Red Sox. Actually's playing worse
- 14:16Speaker 1: than he did for the Red Sox. So stay tuned,
- 14:18Speaker 1: developing hot dot dot dot every GM checking their credit score.
- 14:23Speaker 1: So we'll see how We'll see how all this goes down. Now,
- 14:25Speaker 1: final point to the zoo, that would be the Bronx
- 14:30Speaker 1: Zoo we go where Yankees manager Aaron Boone was not
- 14:36Speaker 1: happy gave some fiery quotes this week. He was asked
- 14:38Speaker 1: about second baseman Jazz Chisholm Junior, who went viral this
- 14:43Speaker 1: week for playing second base in a game against the
- 14:46Speaker 1: Detroit Tigers with a lolly. He had a nice lollypop
- 14:50Speaker 1: in his mouth while he was playing in a game
- 14:52Speaker 1: the Yankees lost to the Tigers. So this went everywhere.
- 14:57Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, did you see this?
- 15:00Speaker 1: It's like a throwback to back in the day when
- 15:02Speaker 1: guys were smoking SIGs while they were playing. Back in
- 15:05Speaker 1: the old days. Anyway, so Boone addressed the snuff alophagus
- 15:10Speaker 1: in the room with the lolly and he told Jazz
- 15:13Speaker 1: Chisholm it was a bad look, Boone said. And later
- 15:18Speaker 1: on during a grab ass podcast with podcasters who literally
- 15:23Speaker 1: rub his shoulders rub his shoulders, Boone said of Chisholm,
- 15:28Speaker 1: he said that pisses me off. He said, that won't
- 15:32Speaker 1: be going on fam he was unaware of it. So
- 15:36Speaker 1: the question what do you make of Aaron Boone and
- 15:40Speaker 1: what appears to be certainly a clueless reaction by Aaron Boone,
- 15:44Speaker 1: a clus reaction to one of his more well known players,
- 15:48Speaker 1: Jazz Chisholm and Lolly Pop Gait Lolly. Everything has to
- 15:53Speaker 1: be a gate, lollipop gate. So why would a majorly
- 16:00Speaker 1: manage your pretend to not see something that everyone else saw,
- 16:06Speaker 1: even blind Emmett, blind Sea Bass Stevie Meatballs, like all
- 16:11Speaker 1: our blind guys saw this. And yet he's pretending Aaron
- 16:16Speaker 1: Boone that he didn't see it. Let's not sugarcoat it
- 16:20Speaker 1: like a lollipop. Heer, Aaron Boone's who me me that
- 16:25Speaker 1: act was a masterclass in managerial not money laundering. Narrative
- 16:31Speaker 1: laundering is what that was, right, narrative laundering. And to
- 16:35Speaker 1: believe that Aaron Boone completely missed his second baseman standing
- 16:39Speaker 1: there on the field looking like a nineteen seventies TV detective,
- 16:45Speaker 1: it's really hard to have that be believable, impossible. It's
- 16:51Speaker 1: like he's just out there. What are you doing? Are
- 16:53Speaker 1: you managing the game like you're on a British Airwaves
- 16:57Speaker 1: Airwaves transcontinental flight wearing a sleep matK in the dugout?
- 17:02Speaker 1: Did you order uber each to get a pizza and
- 17:04Speaker 1: you were eating the pie while that was going on.
- 17:07Speaker 1: It's like, seriously, now, Aaron Boone, this is all part
- 17:11Speaker 1: of his experience. This is the ethos of Aaron Boone,
- 17:14Speaker 1: who has lifetime employment like a tenured professor. He is
- 17:19Speaker 1: a corporate diplomat wrapped in a pinstriped uniform. And there's
- 17:26Speaker 1: another example of the sequel not being the equal. The
- 17:30Speaker 1: Steinbrenner kids owned the team. George Steinbrenner would have called
- 17:35Speaker 1: the swat team to have Jazz Chisholm taken out of
- 17:38Speaker 1: the Yankee clubhouse and would have sent him down to
- 17:41Speaker 1: Triple A, which used to be Columbus back in the day,
- 17:43Speaker 1: and now it's it's in Pennsylvania, and that would have
- 17:46Speaker 1: been it now. That would have been it now. If
- 17:49Speaker 1: he admits, if Aaron Boone admits he saw it, if
- 17:53Speaker 1: he saw it during the game and did nothing, did
- 17:57Speaker 1: absolutely he looks like a substitute teacher. Boy, I love
- 18:01Speaker 1: those bad subs who just completely lost control of the classroom.
- 18:04Speaker 1: You ever had one of those? You did? Okay? So
- 18:08Speaker 1: if he claims Aaron Boone that he was entirely oblivious, again,
- 18:14Speaker 1: it looks like he was taking a cat nap on
- 18:16Speaker 1: the bench and that was it. Well, the Yes Network
- 18:20Speaker 1: cameras were out there and they were doing detective work.
- 18:23Speaker 1: I will guarantee you somebody the Yes Network, the Yankee
- 18:25Speaker 1: propaganda channel, got a phone call say, what are you doing.
- 18:28Speaker 1: You're making our guy look bad. You can't. I mean,
- 18:31Speaker 1: I don't care if he's out there smoking a cigar,
- 18:32Speaker 1: don't put him on camera. I know this doesn't matter.
- 18:37Speaker 1: He could be eating pop tarts out there, doesn't matter.
- 18:39Speaker 1: Don't put him on tab all right, we won't put
- 18:42Speaker 1: them on TV now, I know. In the court of
- 18:43Speaker 1: public opinion, Court of public opinion. Here he opted for
- 18:48Speaker 1: the ladder of those options. There, playing the shocked parent,
- 18:54Speaker 1: Aaron Boone, I don't understand. Why are you calling me,
- 18:58Speaker 1: mister principal? I don't no, why are you calling my house? Yes? Then,
- 19:03Speaker 1: of course the moment happened last night Jazz cheersom hit
- 19:07Speaker 1: a go ahead, game winning two run bomb, putting the
- 19:11Speaker 1: Bronx Bombers in the wind column there and the very
- 19:15Speaker 1: next night there so the night after this happened last
- 19:17Speaker 1: night hits a go ahead, game winning two run homer
- 19:20Speaker 1: for the Yankees. I just turned out they were the
- 19:23Speaker 1: road team. Boone instantly pivoted and said, he can have
- 19:27Speaker 1: all the lollies he wants all the lollipops. Of course
- 19:30Speaker 1: he can, of course he can now, Jazz never missing
- 19:34Speaker 1: a moment to go viral. He hit the home run,
- 19:37Speaker 1: and what do you think he ran and grabbed in
- 19:39Speaker 1: the dugout? What do you think he ran and grabbed
- 19:42Speaker 1: in the dugout? Ding ding ding ning ning. That is correct,
- 19:44Speaker 1: he grabbed a container of lollipops. And he's like, here
- 19:50Speaker 1: you go, like you go to the dentist that can
- 19:52Speaker 1: I get my lollie. Okay, here's a lollie, thank you,
- 19:56Speaker 1: and they played the music, of course, serenading Jazz Chisselm
- 20:01Speaker 1: with the Lollipop song in the locker room to celebrate
- 20:04Speaker 1: the win. It is the Ben Mahlor Show. If you

- 22:51Speaker 1: should go to the next level and get one of
- 22:54Speaker 1: those oversized lollipops and have that in his mouth voice. Man,
- 22:58Speaker 1: you're talking about like the amusement park style lollies that
- 23:01Speaker 1: you get at Disneyland. Those are the worst if you're
- 23:04Speaker 1: a lolly fan.
- 23:06Speaker 6: But they're too big and you can never finish them,
- 23:08Speaker 6: and then you got to put them somewhere, and then
- 23:10Speaker 6: they get lint all over it.
- 23:11Speaker 1: That is true, you get to wash them. Is washed
- 23:14Speaker 1: a lollipop, No, I would throw it away. I would
- 23:17Speaker 1: never wash it. Have to wash, No, I would not wash.
- 23:20Speaker 1: And when there's no point in washing a lollie, how
- 23:23Speaker 1: do you keep one of those giant lows. You have
- 23:25Speaker 1: to put it in a like a ziploc bag or
- 23:27Speaker 1: something like that.
- 23:28Speaker 6: Even the plastic gets stuck to the Okay, but Disney
- 23:32Speaker 6: has made a.
- 23:33Speaker 1: Money market for this. They have a solution for the problem.
- 23:37Speaker 6: They have a plastic case in the shape of Mickey's head.
- 23:41Speaker 6: It looks like one of the red balloons, and you
- 23:44Speaker 6: put that around your lollipop so.
- 23:46Speaker 1: It locks the lolly in. And they only charge seven
- 23:50Speaker 1: hundred dollars for that.
- 23:51Speaker 6: Yeah, it's probably like ten bucks. Oh my gosh, you
- 23:54Speaker 6: know what, I'm gonna get one next time I go one.
- 23:57Speaker 6: I have it. I don't know the last time I
- 23:59Speaker 6: bought a lollipop there.
- 24:00Speaker 1: Well, if you buy that, if you buy the case,
- 24:01Speaker 1: you've got to buy the lolly. I'm buying the whole set.
- 24:03Speaker 6: Yeah, the whole Yeah, the match I'm going on Sunday.
- 24:06Speaker 1: I'll do it. A late night drug tester says, you
- 24:08Speaker 1: got to be careful running around with a lollipop. The
- 24:11Speaker 1: stick could poke an eye out. That's why toothpicks were
- 24:14Speaker 1: out lawed. I'm sure in the Major League Baseball world, Yes, clearly.
- 24:20Speaker 1: What else do we have? Let's see page dan Jay
- 24:23Speaker 1: Scoop says, Ben, I don't know why people complain when
- 24:26Speaker 1: the show run down allegedly gets posted late. I subscribe
- 24:29Speaker 1: to Mallard Plus, and I have never received a late rundown.
- 24:33Speaker 1: In fact, I already have the one for tomorrow's show.

- 25:10Speaker 1: There's a table read at four o'clock. And then we
- 25:13Speaker 1: have a kind of a rewrite situation. And then I
- 25:17Speaker 1: think it's about seven seven point thirty. We reconvene and
- 25:21Speaker 1: we go over the corrections, uh, and then there's a
- 25:24Speaker 1: there's a rewrite uh. And then we do that right
- 25:28Speaker 1: up until the start of the show. And so Jay
- 25:29Speaker 1: Scoop knows about that because he's a Mallard Plus member,
- 25:32Speaker 1: and so God bless him for that and all all

- 26:32Speaker 4: and England game did?

- 28:39Speaker 1: I'm on the Google machine here. I want to say,
- 28:41Speaker 1: oh my, and it says according to the Google Machine,
- 28:45Speaker 1: it says that is correct. No lies detected that Christiano

- 29:24Speaker 1: eighty nine All Star Game in Anaheim and Harry was
- 29:29Speaker 1: not there, but he I think broadcast.
- 29:31Speaker 4: Yeah. But to pull full circle for myself, remember Ronald
- 29:35Speaker 4: Reagan landing at the Daytona five hundred when Richard Petty
- 29:38Speaker 4: was running bugget.

- 30:18Speaker 6: reported twins was like early nineteen hundred's fun fact.
- 30:22Speaker 1: Okay, you didn't play the sounder, so that's not a
- 30:24Speaker 1: fun fact.

- 32:49Speaker 3: hit my puberty stage right now. And I was like
- 32:53Speaker 3: to say, also to you this, what do you think
- 32:55Speaker 3: about a cup going to uh the sacramental case. I
- 33:00Speaker 3: would have thought that mythis would have had guys hill
- 33:05Speaker 3: they said they uh job, You would think that they would.
- 33:10Speaker 4: Have gotten well.
- 33:10Speaker 1: I like, I liked they. I liked him when I
- 33:12Speaker 1: saw him play in the tournament, and he looks like
- 33:14Speaker 1: a good player. Although it's you know, who knows if
- 33:16Speaker 1: that'll transition to the NBA. Usually you go to Sacramento,
- 33:18Speaker 1: you're it's like the black hole there. You don't come
- 33:21Speaker 1: out alive. It's it's you know, things don't go well

- 33:26Speaker 1: but full of energy. How about that Danny boy from
- 33:29Speaker 1: Saint louis bringing the heat right there as he often does.
- 33:34Speaker 1: We thank you for that. We are moments away from
- 33:38Speaker 1: malor to the third degree. Would you like to point
- 33:40Speaker 1: out that if you had Wan Soto staying healthy, you're
- 33:47Speaker 1: a loser. So the Mets lost again, as they often do,
- 33:50Speaker 1: and Juan Soda, the highest paid player in professional baseball,
- 33:55Speaker 1: he's down for the count injury situation, left the game
- 33:59Speaker 1: with a back injury. Back injury. Lost to the Chicago Cubs.
- 34:06Speaker 1: The Mets se Sodo was removed with left side back tightness.
- 34:12Speaker 1: Oh my back, Oh my back. Soto missed fifteen games
- 34:17Speaker 1: earlier this season with the castrain. Of course, the Mets
- 34:20Speaker 1: stepped up, and they lost twelve of those fifteen games.
- 34:24Speaker 1: Very impressive. Twelve games in a row they lost without
- 34:29Speaker 1: Wan Soto. So see how long he's gonna be out?
- 34:32Speaker 1: When baseball players get hurt, always bet the over, Always
- 34:36Speaker 1: bet the over. But the biggest contract in baseball, Juan
- 34:39Speaker 1: Soto down for the count. We're gonna have mallardly third
- 34:42Speaker 1: degree time. Now for the Ins Trivia and we dedicate

- 37:29Speaker 1: not No, the correct answer would be Marvin Williams. No,
- 37:34Speaker 1: that's incorrect. It's William Baldy Louden. I gave last hours
- 37:41Speaker 1: as it's William mcbaldi Louden in the Federal League in
- 37:46Speaker 1: nineteen fourteen, the Federal League, some guy named Baldy Louden.
- 37:50Speaker 1: I don't know who that is. He's dead, so I
- 37:52Speaker 1: think we're okay. He's not going to sue us in
- 37:56Speaker 1: nineteen fourteen. That's a long time.
- 37:57Speaker 3: Go.
- 37:57Speaker 1: All right, there we go, The Man, the Myth, the legend,
- 38:02Speaker 1: Patty with mall early thirty three.
- 38:05Speaker 7: All right, Ben, I got a couple for you here.
- 38:07Speaker 7: Let's go to the first one. So Tom Brady made
- 38:09Speaker 7: a recent podcast appearance where he said, I think there's
- 38:12Speaker 7: no greater passer in the football league than Aaron Rodgers. Ben,
- 38:17Speaker 7: do you agree with the statement?
- 38:18Speaker 1: But I think he said of all time right at
- 38:20Speaker 1: all time? Yeah, all the time. Very polite, very polite
- 38:23Speaker 1: of Tom Brady and totally subjective and bull crap. Tom
- 38:30Speaker 1: never gives a straight answer. So I to everything I
- 38:32Speaker 1: take from Tom Brady, I take with a grain of
- 38:34Speaker 1: salt because he's he's very open about the fact he
- 38:36Speaker 1: doesn't speak the truth. Next.
- 38:38Speaker 7: All right, So we learned this week that over the offseason,
- 38:40Speaker 7: Saints QB Tyler Shuck reached out to Drew Brees about
- 38:43Speaker 7: setting up some throwing sessions with the Hall of Famer
- 38:46Speaker 7: Ben with Breeze as a mentor. Do you think Shuck
- 38:50Speaker 7: will take another step forward this season?
- 38:52Speaker 1: Well, it's like if I hung out with Howard Stern,
- 38:54Speaker 1: I'm not all of a suid like before he became woke.
- 38:56Speaker 1: Like I'm not going to become all of a sudden
- 38:57Speaker 1: like the greatest broadcaster of all time. Like you still
- 39:00Speaker 1: have to have the ability. It's a nice thought, like
- 39:03Speaker 1: if I just hang out with people that are better
- 39:05Speaker 1: than me, that I'm gonna somehow get better. It's generally
- 39:07Speaker 1: not how it works. Uh, And Drew Brees is a
- 39:10Speaker 1: unique character, his size and the way that he played
- 39:13Speaker 1: in all that. So I don't think that's gonna matter
- 39:15Speaker 1: at all. Next, all right, so Brendan.
- 39:16Speaker 7: Sorosby's agent Ron Slavin recently responded to the notion that
- 39:20Speaker 7: Sorsby escaped punishment for his gambling by saying that Sorsby
- 39:23Speaker 7: has been punished heavily already. He points out that Sorsby's
- 39:26Speaker 7: face an astronomical financial burden and he will no longer
- 39:29Speaker 7: be able to compete for a Heisman or a Natty.
- 39:31Speaker 7: Are you buying this response?
- 39:33Speaker 1: Yeah, We're gonna start a GoFundMe in a bake sale
- 39:35Speaker 1: for this guy. Come on, what are we doing here? Seriously?
- 39:38Speaker 3: How do we
