- 0:00Speaker 1: Boom Shaka Laca. It's our number two. For Pete's sake,
- 0:06Speaker 1: our number two. All about the polar bear. Pete Alonso
- 0:09Speaker 1: is going back to the Mets, the free agent who
- 0:13Speaker 1: was twisting in the win, staying with the Metropolitans. What
- 0:16Speaker 1: does that signal to you? Also, Cleveland's Miles Garrett says
- 0:22Speaker 1: he consulted with Lebron James before demanding a trade from
- 0:26Speaker 1: the Browns. How do you rule on this one? We'll
- 0:29Speaker 1: talk about that. The NFL Players Association says no one
- 0:33Speaker 1: wants to play eighteen games? Is that true? And where
- 0:37Speaker 1: does that leave Roger Goodell, who has flirted with an
- 0:40Speaker 1: eighteen game season. We'll get to that and much more
- 0:43Speaker 1: right now. Have a wonderful Thursday. It's our number two.
- 0:49Speaker 2: It is a bear Jamboree, a polar bear Jamboree. Welcome
- 0:56Speaker 2: in the beginning of another of the Ben Mather Show.
- 1:01Speaker 2: We are in the air everywhere on the river of life.
- 1:07Speaker 1: As we are, We're imagination runs wild, wild and wild,
- 1:11Speaker 1: and wild and wild and wild, coast to coast, border
- 1:14Speaker 1: the motor and beyond. On the vast and candidly powerful
- 1:19Speaker 1: microphones of fsre ammating live from the thermometer as we
- 1:27Speaker 1: take the temperature in the room on the thermometer. We're
- 1:30Speaker 1: broadcasting live from the tyraq dot com studios tyraq dot com.
- 1:34Speaker 1: We'll help you get there an unmatched selection, fast, free shipping,
- 1:38Speaker 1: free road hazard protection. Over ten thousand, recommented instars tyraq
- 1:45Speaker 1: dot com, the way tire buying should be. I know,
- 1:48Speaker 1: not a burner, A fan of that number ten thousand.
- 1:51Speaker 1: Also Van, the one legged Bama man who we spoke
- 1:54Speaker 1: to last hour loves the number ten thousand. So our
- 1:56Speaker 1: lead this hour, Our lead this hour is from the
- 2:00Speaker 1: game of free agency, the game of free agency baseball style.
- 2:08Speaker 1: We'll get back to basketball. Trade deadline is later today.
- 2:10Speaker 1: We have had a gaggle of trades, a yahoo of trades,
- 2:16Speaker 1: but with days to go, pitchers and catchers start reporting
- 2:20Speaker 1: today's February sixth. Pitchers and catchers start reporting February ninth,
- 2:24Speaker 1: So three days away from show up to worktime, and
- 2:29Speaker 1: pet Alonzo is no longer unemployed. He has found a
- 2:33Speaker 1: new home. Pet Alonzo free agent slugger long with the Mets.
- 2:38Speaker 1: And it turns out the new home is the old home.
- 2:44Speaker 1: I assume you know by now, but maybe not. We
- 2:46Speaker 1: learned that slugger Pete Alonzo late in the night agreeing
- 2:50Speaker 1: to a two year contract for fifty four million fifty
- 2:56Speaker 1: four million from the Mets, and that ends the longated
- 3:01Speaker 1: free agency, a return engagement, extra shows added to the
- 3:06Speaker 1: polar Bear experience for the New York Mets, and they're
- 3:11Speaker 1: still working on the DOCU sign So it's not done,
- 3:13Speaker 1: done done. Pending a physical includes an opt out. Now,
- 3:18Speaker 1: I always say pending of physical because you could get
- 3:20Speaker 1: a Carlos Correa cheating a whole situation. Remember Korea years
- 3:23Speaker 1: ago signed with the Giants and then failed the physical,
- 3:27Speaker 1: signed with the Mets, failed the physical, and then he
- 3:30Speaker 1: ended up with Minnesota where he's just a failure. So anyway,
- 3:33Speaker 1: Alonzo is not done done, but it's almost done. He's
- 3:36Speaker 1: gonna go back to the Mets and he will make
- 3:38Speaker 1: thirty million this year and then he can hit the
- 3:41Speaker 1: eject button and opt out of the contract. So let
- 3:44Speaker 1: us discuss the question, Pete Alonso going back to the Metropolitans,
- 3:50Speaker 1: what does that signal to you? So I'm gonna go
- 3:54Speaker 1: first my observations. I have post malone, machete and goodie,
- 4:01Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together and
- 4:05Speaker 1: welcome you to our new app. You can hit that
- 4:08Speaker 1: button right there. We don't actually have an app, but
- 4:10Speaker 1: if we did, we'd tell you to use our app.
- 4:12Speaker 1: But we don't have one, So number, I said number
- 4:20Speaker 1: the owner medal. After a minutes long malor investigation, the
- 4:25Speaker 1: owner of the New York Mets, Steven Cohen, a fanboy,
- 4:29Speaker 1: intervened for better or worse, Steve Cohen is why Peter
- 4:35Speaker 1: Alonzo is back with the New York Mets. The front office,
- 4:39Speaker 1: the handpicked executive that the Mets owner hired, determined that
- 4:45Speaker 1: Peter Alonso is a diminishing asset, that he's not gonna
- 4:49Speaker 1: get better, He's only gonna get worse. And the talks
- 4:53Speaker 1: had ended. That was the story that was being tossed
- 4:56Speaker 1: out there, that the conversations were over and Alonzo was
- 4:59Speaker 1: not going to play for the Mets again, Albo. And
- 5:03Speaker 1: then we do a one to eighty and now we're
- 5:06Speaker 1: back with Pete Alonzo with the Mets. So for that
- 5:09Speaker 1: to happen, either the general manager of the Mets had
- 5:14Speaker 1: a come to Jesus moment or he had a come
- 5:18Speaker 1: to the owner's moment. And that was the great metamorphosis.
- 5:22Speaker 1: That was the great change that took place. Right, nothing
- 5:26Speaker 1: else makes any sense. Nothing else makes any sense. Uh.
- 5:30Speaker 1: Alonzo was offered a seven year contract by the Mets
- 5:34Speaker 1: last year, turned it down. He was supposedly offered a
- 5:39Speaker 1: seventy some million dollar contract a couple months ago, he
- 5:43Speaker 1: turned that down, and now he ends up with a
- 5:45Speaker 1: two year contract for fifty four million, which is really
- 5:49Speaker 1: only a one year contract for thirty million. The math
- 5:51Speaker 1: ain't mathing. You do the mal or math on that.
- 5:54Speaker 1: It doesn't look good for Peter Alonso, but yet he's back.
- 5:56Speaker 1: So that likely means that Steve Cohen massaged Alonzo's ego
- 6:01Speaker 1: and convinced the front office, his own front office, to
- 6:04Speaker 1: take Alonzo back and pied Alonso. The reason he did
- 6:08Speaker 1: this is because he was playing the tune from post Malone.
- 6:12Speaker 1: No options, no option, no good options. There were options
- 6:16Speaker 1: for the polar Bear, but not good option, like if
- 6:19Speaker 1: you believe the scuttle, but the streets talking around baseball,
- 6:22Speaker 1: and the streets in baseball saying that the Toronto Blue
- 6:24Speaker 1: Jays were there, they had a standing offer, the Cincinnati
- 6:28Speaker 1: Reds had some interest and then suck back teams like
- 6:30Speaker 1: the Angels and the Higantes also had interest in pie Alonzo. So, well,
- 6:36Speaker 1: I can go to one of those teams and then
- 6:38Speaker 1: play one year and then opt back in, or I
- 6:40Speaker 1: could go to the Mets and play one year and
- 6:43Speaker 1: then do it again all over. And so he chose
- 6:46Speaker 1: to go to the Mets, which is actually a smart move.
- 6:48Speaker 1: The Mets figure to win the National League East or
- 6:51Speaker 1: at very worst be a wild card team. They're not
- 6:53Speaker 1: going to win anything in the playoffs, because we all
- 6:55Speaker 1: know the Doyers own the National League, but the Mets
- 6:59Speaker 1: will be in playoff games and Pete Alonzo will have
- 7:01Speaker 1: opportunities on the big stage to hit home runs. He's
- 7:04Speaker 1: not getting any younger, though, that's the problem, and baseball's
- 7:07Speaker 1: run by a bunch of Poindexters, and that is an
- 7:10Speaker 1: issue that Pete Alonzo will not be able to overcome.
- 7:13Speaker 1: But at least in theory, if he goes out in
- 7:15Speaker 1: twenty twenty five Alonzo for the Mets and hits fifty
- 7:19Speaker 1: home runs and drives in one hundred and forty runs,
- 7:21Speaker 1: and you say, okay, there's something there. There's something there,
- 7:25Speaker 1: and somebody will take a shot on him, and so
- 7:27Speaker 1: that's it. But the polar Bear. Now, how weird is it?
- 7:30Speaker 1: He was the face of the Mets for so many
- 7:33Speaker 1: years and now he goes back there and he's the
- 7:35Speaker 1: third wheel. Pete Alonzo is number three. Number three, got
- 7:43Speaker 1: Juan Soto who's signed for the forever contract and he's
- 7:47Speaker 1: got more money than the gross domestic product of several
- 7:51Speaker 1: small countries. And then you've got Francisco Lindor who's also
- 7:53Speaker 1: got ridiculous amounts of money. And then Pete Alonzo slides,
- 7:57Speaker 1: and then who knows if he's even number three on
- 7:58Speaker 1: the Mets, he might be been lower than that. And
- 8:01Speaker 1: so we'll do this all over again. Peter Lonzo will
- 8:04Speaker 1: opt out of his contract. Unless he gets hurt or
- 8:06Speaker 1: has a terrible year, he'll opt out of his contract
- 8:08Speaker 1: and try to find a new team. In twenty twenty six. Now,
- 8:11Speaker 1: page two, we go to the NFL, the National Football League,
- 8:18Speaker 1: where the Cleveland Browns blow, and they have one good player.
- 8:23Speaker 1: They have one player that's head and shoulders everyone else.
- 8:26Speaker 1: Miles Garrett. Remember when he went four against the Steelers
- 8:30Speaker 1: years ago, and he threw the helmet down like he
- 8:32Speaker 1: was four, throwing the hammer down. Anyway, Miles Garrett spoke
- 8:36Speaker 1: publicly for the first time since announcing I am done
- 8:41Speaker 1: in Cleveland. I don't want to play any any more
- 8:44Speaker 1: games here. I'm out. So he spoke of the radio
- 8:49Speaker 1: row where all the free loading media elites hang out
- 8:52Speaker 1: there in New Orleans, and Miles Garrett saying that he
- 8:56Speaker 1: and the Browns organization on are not aligned on the future.
- 9:03Speaker 1: Thank you, Captain obvious. Okay, we couldn't figured that one out.
- 9:07Speaker 1: He mentioned Miles Garrett the word trajectory, meaning the trajectory
- 9:12Speaker 1: of the Browns franchise, which is kind of like when
- 9:16Speaker 1: you fire a rocket up like those old remember those
- 9:19Speaker 1: old I better announce you'll be the old space shuttles.
- 9:22Speaker 1: They know, the old space shuttles, if you're old enough
- 9:23Speaker 1: for remember. So they'd shoot the Space Shuttle up. They
- 9:25Speaker 1: had those booster rockets, and then assuming that the Space
- 9:29Speaker 1: Shuttle didn't explode, the booster rockets would come off the
- 9:32Speaker 1: Space Shuttle and fall back down into the ocean. And
- 9:35Speaker 1: so if you think of the Browns, they're like, not
- 9:38Speaker 1: the Space Shuttle going out to outer space, they're like
- 9:41Speaker 1: the booster rockets falling back down to the ocean. That's
- 9:44Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns right there. That's the trajectory. And so
- 9:48Speaker 1: Garrett said he had some conversations with the HighRes up
- 9:51Speaker 1: and all that stuff. So the part of the story
- 9:54Speaker 1: which is interesting here that really is the meat on
- 9:56Speaker 1: the bone. Don't bear the lead. My man heard, I'm
- 9:59Speaker 1: not gonna bear. So the part of the story which
- 10:02Speaker 1: I believe makes good talk radio is that Miles Garrett
- 10:07Speaker 1: said that he consulted with who about asking for a
- 10:11Speaker 1: trade Lebron James ding ding ding ding ding, ding ding
- 10:18Speaker 1: ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ning. Yes, Miles
- 10:21Speaker 1: Garrett said, when contemplating whether or not to leave Cleveland,
- 10:26Speaker 1: he had a hearty conversation with Lebron James, who left
- 10:30Speaker 1: Cleveland not once, but twice, left the cadavers in the
- 10:35Speaker 1: middle of the night, and they said they Miles Garrett said,
- 10:39Speaker 1: they had to talk about what that would be like
- 10:41Speaker 1: and whatnot. Now, Cleveland's Miles Garrett says he consulted with
- 10:46Speaker 1: Lebron James before demanding a trade and an exit off
- 10:50Speaker 1: ramp from Cleveland. How do you rule on this one?
- 10:54Speaker 1: How do you rule on this one? So after a
- 10:57Speaker 1: very brief deliberation, bad look, bad job by Miles Garrett.
- 11:03Speaker 1: Now he's honest. That's fine. You can give him an
- 11:05Speaker 1: a for honesty. But this is something that did not
- 11:08Speaker 1: need to be said. And the people, and I don't
- 11:12Speaker 1: live in Cleveland, we're on the radio there, and I
- 11:14Speaker 1: am from what I understand of my friends from Ohisle.
- 11:18Speaker 1: The Cleveland sports fan was sympathetic. They had empathy for
- 11:25Speaker 1: Miles Garrett. That the Browns, they know, are like the
- 11:29Speaker 1: thing you see in the toilet when you take a
- 11:31Speaker 1: number two. So they understand that. But now that you've
- 11:35Speaker 1: added Lebron into the chat, now you're losing goodwill. That's
- 11:39Speaker 1: taking a machete, right, taking a machete and cutting deep.
- 11:45Speaker 1: That's a deep cut with the machete. And we get
- 11:49Speaker 1: the fact that Miles Garrett is part of Clutch Sports,
- 11:53Speaker 1: which is a shadow organization by Lebron James allegedly where
- 11:58Speaker 1: Lebron can control much of the sports world and he
- 12:01Speaker 1: bankrolls that, and you know one of his buddies runs it,
- 12:04Speaker 1: and so I get all that. Nevertheless, that is a
- 12:07Speaker 1: body blow, body blow, budy blow to the Cleveland sports fan.
- 12:11Speaker 1: So Miles Garrett by announcing that he became less less simple,
- 12:18Speaker 1: less of a of someone you can pull for I'm
- 12:21Speaker 1: using the right words here, but you know what I'm saying.
- 12:24Speaker 1: You feel me on that, all right? Anyway, Lebron who
- 12:26Speaker 1: fancies himself mister Ohio when he showed up to the
- 12:30Speaker 1: game in Atlanta when Ohio State played in the National
- 12:33Speaker 1: Championship game, and here he is conspiring to help another
- 12:38Speaker 1: star Ohio athlete leave the state of Ohio giving him advice. Man,
- 12:44Speaker 1: it doesn't seem very cool. It doesn't seem neat you know. Now,
- 12:48Speaker 1: Ultimately it's the Browns incompetence than Deshaun Watson's inability to play,
- 12:52Speaker 1: and the Browns being married to Deshaun Watson that will
- 12:55Speaker 1: do this. But it does not help the situation. Does
- 12:58Speaker 1: not help the situation, and that this is how it
- 13:01Speaker 1: went down, all right, final point. So quickly, the NFL
- 13:05Speaker 1: Players Association has announced that quote no one, no one
- 13:13Speaker 1: wants to play eighteen games. Roger Goodell has said that
- 13:18Speaker 1: the plan is eventually to play eighteen games with the
- 13:21Speaker 1: players Association says no one wants to play eighteen games.
- 13:27Speaker 1: So where does that leave Roger Goodell, the big shot
- 13:31Speaker 1: over there at the union, says nobody wants to play
- 13:34Speaker 1: eighteen games, So it's not CarMax. It's all about haggling.
- 13:39Speaker 1: This is all about haggling, and the union says that
- 13:42Speaker 1: because they want concessions, and the union is wrong. The
- 13:46Speaker 1: NFL Players Association is Wow, nobody wants to play eighteen games.
- 13:49Speaker 1: That's a lie. I'll tell you people that want eighteen games.
- 13:53Speaker 1: The owners of the NFL won eighteen games. Check. Television
- 13:59Speaker 1: wants eighteen games of regular season football. Check. Advertisers of
- 14:05Speaker 1: television and radio want eighteen game regular seasons. Check check.
- 14:09Speaker 1: The vast majority of fans want eighteen games in the
- 14:14Speaker 1: regular season, and seventeen now they play seventeen now. That
- 14:18Speaker 1: was always a temporary place. That was just a stopover.
- 14:21Speaker 1: They went from sixteen, You go to seventeen for a
- 14:23Speaker 1: couple of years, and then eventually you go to eighteen
- 14:25Speaker 1: because you don't want to have an odd number of games.
- 14:28Speaker 1: Nobody else does that. It's always an even number. That way,
- 14:31Speaker 1: you can have a five hundred team. That's always an
- 14:33Speaker 1: even number. And they playing seventeen now, and that's just
- 14:38Speaker 1: short term. That's not long term. And so the way
- 14:41Speaker 1: this is gonna work, and they just want the union,
- 14:44Speaker 1: they're gonna get it. They want the goodie bag what's
- 14:47Speaker 1: in the bag? The goodie bag? Another quote from the
- 14:52Speaker 1: Godfather movies, right, the greatest movie for quotes of all time.
- 14:58Speaker 1: Just got to grease the palms, Roger Gidels has got
- 15:01Speaker 1: to grease the palms of the players. Give the players
- 15:04Speaker 1: an extra bye week. Check more time off from practice.
- 15:07Speaker 1: We know the players don't like to practice, so check check.
- 15:10Speaker 1: That means the games will suck more. But that's fine,
- 15:12Speaker 1: We'll get the extra game. Just sweeten the pot. Just
- 15:15Speaker 1: sweeten the pot a little more money. You know, the
- 15:17Speaker 1: Aniflal's got so much money. It's like their drug lords
- 15:21Speaker 1: from Mexico. They got to bury money in the ground.
- 15:23Speaker 1: They don't to do with all the money. They got
- 15:25Speaker 1: so much money. And so ultimately, the way this will work,
- 15:28Speaker 1: you'll have two exhibition games, you'll have eighteen regular season
- 15:33Speaker 1: games and two bye weeks, so it'll be a twenty
- 15:35Speaker 1: two week preseason slash regular season. And that's that boom.
- 15:41Speaker 1: There you go. And you can even have the Super
- 15:43Speaker 1: Bowl on President's Day weekend, so everyone has the Monday
- 15:46Speaker 1: off so they can stop complaining and they can hang
- 15:49Speaker 1: out and get completely shlocked, completely hammered on that Sunday
- 15:55Speaker 1: and not have to go to work on Monday. Now,
- 15:58Speaker 1: keep in mind Fred Dreyer, who's a friend of the show,
- 16:01Speaker 1: and he was an NFL player and an actor in Hollywood,
- 16:03Speaker 1: and he's a buddy of mine, and he's been in
- 16:05Speaker 1: here several times. We should have Fred back in reach
- 16:08Speaker 1: out to Fred, but Fred told us, he said, listen,
- 16:12Speaker 1: he was playing in the nineteen seventies, in the eighties,
- 16:15Speaker 1: and Fred Dreyer said, even back then, this goes back
- 16:18Speaker 1: to the Pete Roselle days of the NFL. You didn't
- 16:20Speaker 1: even know who that is, probably, but they wanted a
- 16:22Speaker 1: twenty game season back then. And at that time, I
- 16:26Speaker 1: believe they were playing like fourteen games. I think neither twelve.
- 16:29Speaker 1: I think it was fourteen. You know, college was ten.
- 16:32Speaker 1: I mean the NFL was fourteen, and then they went
- 16:34Speaker 1: to sixteen games. But even back then, they were like,
- 16:37Speaker 1: let's get to twenty and we like twenty. All right,

- 18:48Speaker 1: love that guy, radio legend George Norri, A late night
- 18:52Speaker 1: drug tester writes in says Miles Garrett talking to a
- 18:56Speaker 1: coward like Lebron who leaves once times get tough as sad.
- 19:01Speaker 1: He should talk to a real man for advice, Dick
- 19:04Speaker 1: in Dayton, who never leaves Ohio good or bad. Yeah,
- 19:09Speaker 1: we learned that about Dick from Dayton. That the state
- 19:12Speaker 1: of Ohio is like its own sovereign country, and that
- 19:16Speaker 1: you cannot go to Kentucky. You cannot go to Indiana.
- 19:20Speaker 1: You cannot go to any other state. Pennsylvania can't do that. No,
- 19:27Speaker 1: when you live in Ohio, that is a sovereign nation.
- 19:29Speaker 1: You need some kind of passport if you're Dick in
- 19:33Speaker 1: Dayton to leave Ohio. Give me a little taste of that,
- 19:36Speaker 1: dick og Art Puffin, that's out of context audio. That
- 19:39Speaker 1: was Bill Miller o. G Art Puffin writes and says
- 19:42Speaker 1: reasonable second hour Mallard monologue. I'm a big fan of
- 19:45Speaker 1: the NFL, almost as big a fan as I am
- 19:48Speaker 1: of the Ben Maler Show. Adding an eighteenth game to
- 19:51Speaker 1: the season would be like adding a fifth hour to
- 19:54Speaker 1: your overnight show and a sixth hour podcast. That would
- 19:58Speaker 1: be awesome. And Art Puffin, I'm more than happy to
- 20:01Speaker 1: do that if the price is right. If the price
- 20:03Speaker 1: is right, ferg Dog from Siberia writes, and he says
- 20:08Speaker 1: increasing the amount of games in an NFL season is
- 20:11Speaker 1: a slippery slope. You say you want eighteen games now,
- 20:14Speaker 1: but next year you're gonna want nineteen, then twenty, then
- 20:17Speaker 1: twenty one, then twenty two, then twenty three, and then
- 20:19Speaker 1: twenty four, then twenty five, then twenty six and the
- 20:20Speaker 1: twenty seven then twenty eight, then twenty nine, then thirty
- 20:23Speaker 1: and then thirty one, thirty two, thirty three, thirty four.
- 20:25Speaker 1: Slippery slope, Slippery slope. King Rory says, how excited are
- 20:30Speaker 1: you that your Rams were hands selected to be the
- 20:34Speaker 1: first NFL team to play down Under in Australia. I'm
- 20:38Speaker 1: sure you are already planning to take the show on
- 20:41Speaker 1: the road and have a Mallard meet and greet in Melbourne. No,
- 20:45Speaker 1: if I go to Australia, I gotta go to Perth.
- 20:48Speaker 1: That's where my people are, Perth, Australia, RAMA nine. That
- 20:53Speaker 1: doesn't affect my life at all, other than the fact
- 20:56Speaker 1: the game will probably be played King Rory at a
- 20:58Speaker 1: really inconvenient time because of the time difference in Australia
- 21:02Speaker 1: in the States. So that's the only thing that will
- 21:05Speaker 1: bother me. But it doesn't change my life in any way.
- 21:08Speaker 1: I'm not going to Australia. Maybe we'll send boots on
- 21:10Speaker 1: the ground. We might send a reporter out of course,
- 21:13Speaker 1: not paid by the company because we don't do that.
- 21:15Speaker 1: But we could send like you know, Ozzie Waz. We
- 21:19Speaker 1: used to have the Ozzy guy and Ozzie momentum. Those
- 21:23Speaker 1: guys kind of retire from the show, but Ozzie Waz
- 21:25Speaker 1: is still there. Could send him to the game as
- 21:27Speaker 1: our reporter. Yeah. Now, Fergdog says he still is loving
- 21:33Speaker 1: that tire rack commercial. Two years of free road hazard protection.
- 21:37Speaker 1: What a deal? What a deal? Ryan writes and says,
- 21:41Speaker 1: I'm waiting for the artist formerly known as Eddie to
- 21:44Speaker 1: break down the WNBA trade deadline deals whenever the hell
- 21:47Speaker 1: that is. Yeah, let me know. Let me know a
- 21:51Speaker 1: lot of trades in the NBA if you love trades.
- 21:53Speaker 1: And we didn't even talk about all the trades because
- 21:56Speaker 1: it's only a four hour show. We'll have time to
- 21:58Speaker 1: talk about every single bleep trade. And saw the Sacramento
- 22:02Speaker 1: Kings a trade that we have not mentioned. The Sacramento
- 22:05Speaker 1: Kings pulled off a trade with the Washington Wizards and
- 22:09Speaker 1: they acquired a guy who was a pretty productive center
- 22:14Speaker 1: but often is too slow to be on a good
- 22:17Speaker 1: team because he doesn't play defense. But Jonas Valentutis is
- 22:21Speaker 1: now a Sacramento King. And I think this is true.
- 22:24Speaker 1: I don't think I'm making this up. I believe I
- 22:26Speaker 1: saw this somewhere. The Washington Wizards have now added nineteen
- 22:33Speaker 1: second round draft picks in recent years, nineteen they have nine.
- 22:39Speaker 1: You know how little value a second round draft pick is. God,
- 22:44Speaker 1: I wonder if you if you combine all of those
- 22:46Speaker 1: second round draft picks, if you could get like one
- 22:48Speaker 1: low first round draft. But I'll trade you nineteen for one. Anyway,
- 22:53Speaker 1: let's go to the phones. Paul is in North Carolina.
- 22:56Speaker 1: The Hornets made some trades. Hellthough, Paul, welcome, good morning, Ben,
- 23:00Speaker 1: Hope you're doing well.
- 23:02Speaker 4: And then, first of all, I'm a huge metstand so
- 23:04Speaker 4: I love what David starts to did with Pete Alonzo
- 23:07Speaker 4: and brought him back for a perfect contract for the Mets.
- 23:09Speaker 4: But listen, I want to talk about the trades that
- 23:12Speaker 4: happened today. And I can't reiterate enough. I am not
- 23:15Speaker 4: a Lakers stands. I'm in Asheville, North Carolina, that thousands
- 23:18Speaker 4: of miles away from Los Angeles. So I'm going to
- 23:20Speaker 4: tell you the biggest trade aside from Luca and Ad,
- 23:26Speaker 4: happens to night when the Lakers got Mark Williams from Charlotte.
- 23:30Speaker 4: Mark Willmens is a twenty two year old center that
- 23:32Speaker 4: average is seventeen points a game, ten rebounds a game,
- 23:35Speaker 4: and three assists the game and a week ago, the
- 23:37Speaker 4: Lakers were in the hands. The future of the Lakers
- 23:40Speaker 4: were in forty year old la Bomb and thirty two
- 23:42Speaker 4: year old offt injured eighties hands, and now would have
- 23:45Speaker 4: in twenty five year old Luca and twenty two year
- 23:47Speaker 4: old Mark Williams hands. And this is gonna be the
- 23:50Speaker 4: night years on the road that Lakers stands. We have
- 23:51Speaker 4: a little circle and say this redefine the franchise.
- 23:55Speaker 1: Paul, what are you smoking tonight? Paul? What do you
- 23:57Speaker 1: got going on? What are you? What do you what
- 23:59Speaker 1: are we drinking? Were smoking? What do we got going on?
- 24:01Speaker 4: Yeah? I mean that's having a couple of content or
- 24:04Speaker 4: a couple of contents.
- 24:05Speaker 1: I understand. Okay, that makes sense now that you've had
- 24:08Speaker 1: you've admitted, you've come clean. All right, I give you credit. Listen,
- 24:11Speaker 1: you're an adult, right, you want to drink a little
- 24:13Speaker 1: bit and have some fun. Why not to have a
- 24:14Speaker 1: couple of cocktails? Call the show. We're here for you.
- 24:17Speaker 3: Mark.
- 24:18Speaker 1: You're telling me that Mark Williams is going to unlock
- 24:22Speaker 1: a higher level on the video game for the Lakers.
- 24:24Speaker 1: Mark Williams.
- 24:25Speaker 5: I'm going to assume that this guy not that I
- 24:28Speaker 5: not that I disagree with him.
- 24:29Speaker 1: Do you think he's trolling me? Not?
- 24:30Speaker 6: No, I'm gonna assume he's a Duke fan.
- 24:33Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you Duke got Paul. You're sure about that, Paul?
- 24:37Speaker 1: You sure don't lie to me.
- 24:38Speaker 3: Paul.
- 24:40Speaker 1: Have you have you been? Have you been to Cameron
- 24:42Speaker 1: indoor Arena?
- 24:43Speaker 4: No, listen, I cannot stand My brother's a Tario. I'm
- 24:46Speaker 4: a Georgia bulldog. I cannot stand Duke. I'm telling you,
- 24:49Speaker 4: Mark Williams, the Hornets suck, and I get it, but
- 24:53Speaker 4: I watch them every night in this market. I'm telling you,
- 24:55Speaker 4: if you want this is a twenty three year old
- 24:56Speaker 4: difference maker.
- 24:58Speaker 1: I got I got it. I got it. But I
- 25:00Speaker 1: just I find that hard to believe.
- 25:02Speaker 6: I believe you, Paul. It's a great call.
- 25:05Speaker 1: It's a Coople Loop, lifelong Laker fan right there, Coople Loop.
- 25:08Speaker 1: He's he wants to believe, he wants to believe. Is
- 25:11Speaker 1: your last name? Is your last name Williams? By chance?
- 25:13Speaker 1: Are you Paul Williams? Are you related somehow? You're not?
- 25:16Speaker 5: I do believe if if the guy can stay healthy
- 25:19Speaker 5: and on the court, he's a difference maker.
- 25:21Speaker 1: Stay healthy, you might get No one stays basketball. No
- 25:24Speaker 1: one stays healthy. Everyone gets hurt. It's basketball. And just
- 25:26Speaker 1: because you're good at twenty three does not mean you're
- 25:28Speaker 1: gonna be good at thirty and thirty three and all that.
- 25:30Speaker 1: There's some guys peak too soon. You know, they play
- 25:34Speaker 1: well when they're young, and they start getting crappy when
- 25:37Speaker 1: they get older.
- 25:38Speaker 4: Shooters are replaceable, Ben, look at look at JJ Red,
- 25:42Speaker 4: look at Danny Green. You can attract shooters to an
- 25:45Speaker 4: organization that you set up a front court in the backcourt,
- 25:48Speaker 4: which the Lakers have done. Like again, I hate the Lakers.
- 25:50Speaker 4: I'm not a Lakers fan.
- 25:52Speaker 1: I think you no, I don't know. I think you're
- 25:54Speaker 1: pretending to be a Lakers.
- 25:56Speaker 6: He doesn't need to be good when he's old.
- 25:57Speaker 5: Lakers are winning three championships in the next five year
- 26:01Speaker 5: and that's that's good.
- 26:02Speaker 6: That's good for me.
- 26:03Speaker 1: Okay, all right, Paul, go back to your mini bars,
- 26:07Speaker 1: calling your name, Paul. What do you what? What drink
- 26:08Speaker 1: are we making next? What do we have? Like some vodka?

- 33:27Speaker 1: bench that they had made the trade some random and
- 33:31Speaker 1: the Heat players that you're not allowed to have your

- 37:30Speaker 1: Now do you have an answer?
- 37:31Speaker 2: LORRAINA Yes, Ben, I believe it is Bill Belichick.
- 37:35Speaker 1: All right, here we go. Here we go. Not Bill Belich.
- 37:39Speaker 1: Eagles coach Nick Sirianni as the third head coach all
- 37:44Speaker 1: time to make the Super Bowl twice in his first
- 37:46Speaker 1: four seasons as head coach. He joins Pro Football Hall
- 37:49Speaker 1: of Famer Joe Gibbs and Mike Tomlin. Mike Tomlin with
- 37:54Speaker 1: the Steelers in eight and twenty ten, He's the answer.
- 37:58Speaker 1: Here we go.
- 37:59Speaker 3: It's how about that to the third degree? This is
- 38:05Speaker 3: one big Ben.
- 38:06Speaker 1: Gets great apo.
- 38:08Speaker 5: In a recent interview, Kirk Cousins revealed that he was
- 38:10Speaker 5: injured in Week ten and continued to play through the
- 38:12Speaker 5: injury before he was benched. Now, Ben, I know the
- 38:15Speaker 5: Falcons said that they're happy to have him as a backup,
- 38:18Speaker 5: but many think a clean break is gonna happen.
- 38:21Speaker 6: Where do you think Cousins ends up next season?
- 38:23Speaker 1: Yeah, so that both New York teams don't have a quarterback,
- 38:25Speaker 1: so the Giants and Jets right there. The Raiders don't
- 38:28Speaker 1: have a quarterback, the Steelers don't have a quarterback. The
- 38:31Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans, so I would say the Raiders. It doesn't
- 38:35Speaker 1: sound like Russell Wilson wants to go back and hang
- 38:37Speaker 1: out with Pete Carroll. There's some tension there. We'll see
- 38:39Speaker 1: if that's true or not. So I'm gonna go Raiders
- 38:42Speaker 1: and Jets at the very top. For Kirk Cousins, who
- 38:45Speaker 1: got I believe ninety million for fourteen games. Tremendous job
- 38:49Speaker 1: by him.
- 38:49Speaker 5: Right next, now, it's been known that the Pelicans have
- 38:52Speaker 5: been shopping Zion Williamson for weeks.
- 38:54Speaker 6: They got rid of brandon Ingram.
- 38:56Speaker 5: Do you think they'll be able to move Zion in
- 38:57Speaker 5: the needs the last few hours?
- 38:59Speaker 3: No?
- 39:00Speaker 1: No, he will stay there, which is great for the
- 39:02Speaker 1: people that run restaurants in New Orleans. He'll be hanging
- 39:05Speaker 1: out there enjoying all the gumbo, the beignets, and all
- 39:10Speaker 1: the wonderful food. No, he's he's not. They're married Tosigon,
- 39:13Speaker 1: their handcuffed design. He's not being traded neck, not today next.
- 39:17Speaker 5: But Kurt Shilling revealed that he were to ever be
- 39:19Speaker 5: enshrined in the Hall of Fame, that he would want
- 39:21Speaker 5: a Diamondbacks cap on his plaque. Yeah, Ben, will he
- 39:24Speaker 5: ever make it?
- 39:26Speaker 1: Well? When I think of when I think of Shilling,
- 39:28Speaker 1: rather I think of either the Red Sox or the Diamondbacks.
- 39:32Speaker 1: The Bloody Saw game, which was ketch up when he
- 39:34Speaker 1: pitched for the Red Sox. But he was really good
- 39:37Speaker 1: with Arizona and he's one of these guys that played
- 39:39Speaker 1: for a gazillion different teams. I don't have a problem
- 39:41Speaker 1: with him if he should be in the Hall of Fame.
- 39:43Speaker 1: He's not gonna get in the Hall of Fame because
- 39:45Speaker 1: the woke sports writers won't put him in because of politics.
- 39:47Speaker 1: But I don't have a problem with him as a Diamondback.
- 39:49Speaker 1: How do we do you fail? It wasn't ketchup there
- 39:51Speaker 1: you go. It was ketchup Doug Mirabelly. The catcher said
- 39:55Speaker 1: it was ketchup dog mirabelly, Doug Mirabelly.
