• 3:11
  Speaker 2: of the week coming up later this hour, but we'll
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: go to the diamond kind of kind of.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: The business of baseball.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: The business of baseball, well, Major League Baseball shockingly has
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: ruffled some feathers.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: What did they do? Did you see this?
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: No?
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: What's the final weekend of the regular season. The curtain
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: comes down on the regular season on Sunday. The playoffs
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: start shortly after that, and we have learned that Netflix
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: is going to be the exclusive home to Major League
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: Baseball's opening Day in twenty twenty six.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: It features the Yankees and the Giants. To say, well,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: what do we care about that? Ben, It's I don't
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: care about that, all right, So it's in prime time.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Let me just explain why this is a big deal,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: because it's another pay tier for Major League Baseball and
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: there are large factions of fans that are diabolical over
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: this news, very upset offended by this. So let us
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: discuss the question, do you understand why a large percentage
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: of baseball officiaat UZ are upset with the addition of Netflix.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: So my views on this one, I've got Jeffrey Dahmer, Tornado,
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: and Windy's and we will combine all of these things together,
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: every single one of them, and we'll go to.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: The dark underbelly of the news is what we're going
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: to do.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: So, first of all, this is everything that is wrong
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: with the Rob Manford regime. Has anyone been a worse
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: commissioner than Rob Manford in Major League baseball. A lot
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: of these guys are bad. Like Rob Manford. It just
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: doesn't care about the fan. He sticks it to the
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: fan at every chance he gets. And you've taken the
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: most every day sport. I remember we used to have
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: this guy in Michigan, Judgmental John, who used to be
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: one of my regular callers in a previous generation of
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: the show, and Judgmental John would call up and he
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: would complain to me, said, man, you know there's too
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: many baseball games.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: I can't watch all the Tiger games.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: And I said, John, you're not supposed to. Like, if
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: you're a real baseball fan, you don't watch every game.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: It's Baseball's there when you need it.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: You know. It's like if you're lucky.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Enough to come from a good family and you've got
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: a good mom and a good dad, or maybe an
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: ann or an uncle, but somebody that you can depend on.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: You don't need them all the time, but they're there
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: for it. That's baseball, right. I don't sit and watch
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: every Dodger game, but when I want to watch a game,
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: I know it's going to be there. Most everyday sport,
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: it's the background music to the summer. It's part of
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: the beauty of baseball, and Rob Manford has turned what
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: has been symbolic with being a baseball fan knowing, Hey,
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: if I want to watch a game on a Tuesday night,
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: I know where the game is. And now it's a
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: scavenger hunt. And it's been this way for a couple
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: of years. It's not getting better, it's getting worse. Baseball
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: is supposed to be about routine. You know where to
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: find your team's games. You're a fan of your team,
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: you want to watch your team play, and now you
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: are spinning the roulette wheel. It's platform roulette, especially like
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: if you're a Yankee fan or Dodger fan. But we'll
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: focus on the Yankees because this is a Yankee story.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: So I want to watch the Yankees. Let's see, I'm
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: gonna I gotta watch the Yes network on Tuesday. Now,
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: Wednesday they're on Amazon Prime, and then on Thursday it's
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: gonna be Apple Plus something.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: Then Friday is.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: Gonna be on Netflix, and then on Saturday it's gonna
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: be on Fox, and then on Sunday it'll be on NBC.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: So you need a tech support hotline or a special website.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Just to let people know where to watch the games.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: It's it's fragmentation fatigue, That's what it is.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: It's like going to a deli. And we've all been
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: to these delis, right, every town.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: Every I shouldn't say every town, every big city has
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: a legendary Usually it's a Jewish deli and they've got like,
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: you know, forty pages of the menu, and I always,
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: I'm always amazing. I go in there, it's like there's
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: like ninety percent of this stuff. Nobody's ordering. They're ordering
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: maybe some soup, some pastrami sandwhich why do you have
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: all this crap? But you just throw your hands up,
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: he say, I screw it.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: I don't. I mean, what am I gonna order? I
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: have just too much stuff? Or the cheesecake factory said
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: the same thing.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: But the golden rule of business, the golden rule of
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: business is what it's to make it easy for the
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: consumer to find your product. And here's how I relate
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: to Like in my business, I do the radio show, right,
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: and there's a lot of people that can't listen overnight.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: I like to say they graduate from the overnight, so
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: they work the dread to day shift. And I've been
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: very fortunate, been doing this a while and a lot
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: of the people that work the overnight shift for a while,
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: they become fans of the show, and they're able to
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: still listen to the podcast, right because it's easy to
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: find the podcast.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: You know where to find us. Now we're on YouTube.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: So if you supported the show and you want to
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: watch Benny Versus the Penny, Benny Vspenny on YouTube. If
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: you want to watch monologues, it's Ben Mathers Show on YouTube.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: These are wonderful things.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: Major League Baseball, though, it is like, screw the Golden rule, right,
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: we don't want to make it easy for the consumer
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: to find our product. Rob Manver's like, you know what,
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna be like Jeffrey Dahmer. I'm gonna I'm gonna
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: be the Jeffrey Dahmer playbook. I'm gonna cannibalize the TV packages.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna chop them up in a little bite sized
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: piece is and serve them to the highest bidder. And
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: then I'm gonna tell the fans to lick the play clean. Yummy,
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: yam me to my tummy.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Tummy.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: Now, behind closed doors, major League Baseball things that they're
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: pulling a moneyball, moneyball for media rites and I'll tell
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: you what's going on. This is what I've heard. No
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: as I understand it, maybe I'm wrong, but this is
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: what I've been told. So Major League Baseball is fully
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: aware that the TV business has changed a lot, that
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: they're not gonna get the monster TV contracts. Those are gone,
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: the mega mega, mega, mega mega millions from ESPN, Fox, TBS.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: They're not dropping billions and billions on baseball like it's
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: nineteen ninety eight. So baseball strategy is to be, well,
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: here's what we're going. We're gonna recreate big TV money
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: in the aggregate.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: It's kind of like what the nerds do when a
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: star player gets hurt.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: Well, we can't replace leg If Otani got hurt, the
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: Dodgers been like, well we can't replace Otani, but in
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: the aggregate, we could have three or four players play
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: better and then we can. So Baseball's like, all right,
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: we'll get some millions of dollars from Apple, maybe ten million.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: We get twenty million over here from Netflix. We'll get
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: thirty thirty five million from Peacock. We'll get some more
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: money from Fox, we get some money from NBC. And
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: they think if you add enough scraps together.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: You can cook a steak. You can't.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: There's only one problem with that for the fan. That
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: state cost hundreds of bucks a year. It's annoying, and
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: it's rubbery, there's too much fat in it, and it's
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: not cooked properly, and you're gouging your most loyal customers.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: That's Rob Manford. That's the epitome of Rob Manford screwing
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: the fan. He had a chance to punish the greatest
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: cheating scandal of baseball history.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: He did nothing. He did nothing.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: The as one two one thousand holes from Houston cheated
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: in the World Series. In the World Series, people forget
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: about it. There was also a player that made a
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: racist gesture in the dugout, and Rob Manford chose not
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: to suspend him during the World Series.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: He waited until next season to suspend the guy.
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: He's so bad.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: He is so bad, Rob Manford. But this is the
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: next chapter, right.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: The ghost Runner is like all the dumb stuff that
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: Rob Manford's done, but sticking into your loyal fans. And
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: there's no stat that measures how annoyed the customer gets
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: clicking through eight different apps just to watch a damn
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: Yankees game. On a Tuesday night. Instead of making the
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: game accessible, accessible and all that, they're running this weird experiment.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: And it's like, who's gonna blink first.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: It's a game of Chicken, Mark Chicken, the fans canceling
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: subscriptions or the owner's cashing checks, and when the audience drops,
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: and they will drop, they're gonna act all surprised, like
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: I didn't see this one coming. I don't understand. I
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: do not understand. I don't get it. Turning the page
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: on that to college football. That's right, the rare, inappropriate,
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: rare and appropriate mention of college football.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, I'm excited for Saturday.
• 12:16
  Speaker 6: I am.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: You know, I don't have a show that day. I
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: got the podcast, but the Fifth Hour podcast. But I'm
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: jones up. We got a really good card to games
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: on Saturday in college football.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: So Kirk herb Street is back entering the chat. He
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: thinks that.
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: College football needs a commissioner, like they didn't see this
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: coming a.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: Mile you know, a mile away.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: If you didn't see this coming a mile away from
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: herb Street.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: Now this weekend, me let me set this up.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: So the college football pundit who's pretending to be an
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: NFL pundit. He was commenting on We've got Alabama Georgia
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: on Saturday. I believe that's an ESPN game, and then
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: LaVar Arrington's Penn State will be taking on Oregon and
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: that'll be taking place simultaneously.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: I think that's on I believe that's on NBC.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: Anyway, who cares whatever it's at the same time anyway,
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: So Herbstreet went on some podcast and said, Hey, I
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: got the solution to this. This is not great two
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: marquee matchups conflicting with each other.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: So here's what he had to say.
• 13:18
  Speaker 7: It's another example of why we need eventually a commissioner's office,
• 13:25
  Speaker 7: like the NFL has a commissioner's office, right, and there
• 13:29
  Speaker 7: are a lot of different layers to what that office
• 13:32
  Speaker 7: could do. Obviously in this NIL and portal era and
• 13:36
  Speaker 7: the realignment era, I think the biggest thing that I
• 13:39
  Speaker 7: think sometimes as a guy who eats and breathes college football,
• 13:43
  Speaker 7: there are some weeks in college football where it's just
• 13:45
  Speaker 7: there might be one good game, and there are other
• 13:48
  Speaker 7: weeks like this week.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: You could argue this is the greatest weekend of the
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: entire year.
• 13:52
  Speaker 7: Starting Friday night, there's good games. Yeah, and then from
• 13:57
  Speaker 7: game day and then after game day noon eastern all
• 14:00
  Speaker 7: the way. If you're crazy like me, you'll watch BYU
• 14:04
  Speaker 7: in Colorado at ten fifteen they start, and that'll go
• 14:07
  Speaker 7: to whatever one in the morning.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: And you're thinking, I don't know. What he said was
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: the commissioner stuff. That's the important stuff, right, So he said,
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: we need a commissioner, and essentially what he wants is
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: centralized scheduling, like an authority who would prevent blue blood
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: programs to use the Jeffrey Dahmer line again, cannibalizing each
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: other's audience. So the question for the esteem panel do
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: you agree or disagree with Kirk kerb Street? Would a
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: quote commissioner fix what he says are the problems with
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: college football schedule?
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: So my first thought on this is here we go again.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: It's Groundhog Day every year Kirk kerb Street for the
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: last I don't know how many years it's been. It's
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: been a number of years.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: Herb Street at some point comes out and he goes
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: on this same crusade.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: It's the hill he wants to die on.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: The college football needs a commission, They need a commission,
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: and blah blah, blah blah.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: Every year.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: He pulls this out of the moth balls every year,
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: and I'm telling you, okay, I'm telling you it's never happening.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: Whether you think it's a good idea or not, it's
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: not happening, not in my lifetime, not in your lifetime.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: This isn't the NFL. It's getting to that, but it's
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: not there. And the main problem you have is the
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: Southeastern Conference believes there's nothing better than Southern fat football.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: There's nothing better.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: And then the Big Ten says, hold our beer because
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: we go from coast to coast. The Big Ten's like,
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: come on. So the SEC and the Big Ten are
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: not giving up an ounce of power.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: They are at the very top of their own kingdoms,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: and those are pretty good kingdoms.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: And Herbie is talking about it like it's this magic
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: placebo and it'll fix everything, like if you just had
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: one guy in charge, poof all the problems go away.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: No no no no no no no no no no
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: no no no. This isn't going to solve anything. In fact,
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: in the NFL has a commissioner. And yet if you
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: look at the schedule, people complain, why are there so
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: many games at the one pm Eastern TV window.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: And I can't keep track everything.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: Why don't you spread them out and play some games
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: during the week and all that stuff. The other issue
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: here college football my entire life. And I'm not the
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: biggest college football fan, but I do consume it. We
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: don't talk about it much because of the way the
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: schedule works for our radio show. But college football is
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: built on a tornado of chaos.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: That is the charm, that's the uniqueness of that sport.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: You're supposed to have three or four insane Saturdays where
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: there's five monster games going on at the one time,
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: and your right hands getting a workout, and if you're
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: completely transparent, Kirk kirb Street is not really worried about
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: the fan.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: He's not worried about the fan. He's worried about the
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: TV ratings.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: He doesn't want eyeballs siphoned off from his game.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: If he's doing Bama Georgia.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: He doesn't want you watching Penn State and Oregon on
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: NBC at the same time. Guess what, Kurt, excuse my
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: French se La vill that's life, right. You don't get
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: the hog all the oxygen. Other people get some of
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: the oxygen and a commissioner cannot tell the Southeastern Conference
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: when to play and where to play, can't tell the
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: Big Ten.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: The same thing. These are billion dollar cartels. They just start.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: They're not gonna listen to anyone.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: If anything, they're expanding their empires. They're not centralizing their empires.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: And Herbstreet can clutch his pearls all he wants. It's
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: not gonna change all right, final fuck quick, right, it's
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: staying in college football.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: So coach Lincoln Riley, SC's actually off to a decent start.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Could they actually be good? I don't know.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: We'll see have a seemingly soft game tomorrow. But Lincoln
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: Riley is not thrilled about USC's early kickoff as they
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: play the early TV window against the Fighting a Lini
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: in Champagne or Beta. So going on is a quote
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: here he said, going from the absolute latest kick in
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: the country, Lincoln Riley said, to the absolute earliest kick
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: in the country.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: You're talking about. Last week they played Michigan State the
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: late game. Now they play the Fighting Alini in the
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: early game.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: They have to travel, he said, it's challenges, but the
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: challenges like it is what it is. He said, we
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: don't make the schedule. Clearly, he grumbled, all right, question,
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: what message is Lincoln Riley sending to the USC players
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: in that locker room about the schedule. So Lincoln Riley
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: makes a lot of money, but it sounds like he's
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: got a part time job over at Windy's and he's
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: running the frosty machine at Soft Serve.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: It's a tough turnaround early game booing, boo freaking out.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: You know what the old generation would have said, Oh
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: you're gonna do boomer radio bell, just bear with. For
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: about one hundred years in football, there was this machismo
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: where you'd say, we'll play anybody, anytime, anywhere, on asphalt
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: behind a Sam's club, next to the swing set, on
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: a patch of broken up concrete. Strap it up, let's go,
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: let's do it. Man versus man. You don't complain, it's unbecoming.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: You don't complain about the clock. You beat the clock.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: What kind of message is Lincoln Riley sending to his
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: players here instead of saying, Hey, this is a badge
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: of honor. Adversity makes you stronger. Let's show everyone that
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: we're not the same old Soft USC and we can
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: roll out of bed.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: And smash the line eye at nine in the morning
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: West Coast time.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: Instead, he's giving them a built in, baked and excuse
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: before the game's even played. That's loser talk, baking in
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: the alibi. And so another example of times have changed.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: Back in the day, coaches would treat this as again
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: a challenge, a test of toughness, get you ready for
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: big games later in the year. He's supposed to be
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: a program with national title aspirations, and you're head coach
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: there the men of Troy is crying about an early
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: cookoff time. That is a red flag, is what that is.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: And this is the Ben Maller Show. If you'd like
• 20:32

  Speaker 2: to Michael kay and all the broadcasters and fans. She says,

  Speaker 2: awful announcers on these other networks, absolute worst. Yeah, that's
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: another thing that Rob Manford and Baseball did not that
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: the the real fans of the team. They love their

  Speaker 2: and Cans City Perto says the kicker honored the Mariners
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: clinching the West by taking a big dumper, did a

  Speaker 1: Tousy okay, uh.
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: It turns out Seahawk Seker Jason Myers did a line
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: of smelling salt. Smelling salts is what we were looking for.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: Wow, I was so close.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: You are, so you're right there, You're so close, but
• 26:33

  Speaker 2: There was something else involved in that story. The guy
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: in Miami or Florida that ate somebody's FeAs, But it's not.
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: It wasn't actually, they determined later I heard about this
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: and it wasn't.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: It wasn't. It was something else that he had been taking.
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: Anyway, Uh, let's go to the phones and we'll say
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: hello to Eeny Meani, Miny Moe. Let's sailor to John
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: who's in Boston, and John is up next coming up
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: later this how we have Big Ben's lame jokes a week.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: Hello John, Welcome, Thank you.
• 27:17
  Speaker 6: Ben Herbie is talking about a college football commissioner because
• 27:21
  Speaker 6: he wants to be the college football commissioner. He's trying
• 27:25
  Speaker 6: to invent the job for himself, like Cliff, like Cliff
• 27:29
  Speaker 6: On cheers like Cliff.
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: That's a good line, though, I like, I do remember,
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: I do remember that. But but no, why would he
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: want to be the commissioner. You're not going to make
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: as much money. You know how much money ESPN's paying
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: him to do all these college football games, and Amazon's
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: paying him to do the He wouldn't make that much
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: money as a commissioner of the college.
• 27:46
  Speaker 6: Football Roger Goodell makes fifty million dollars a year. Then
• 27:50
  Speaker 6: I don't think Kirk is making that much.
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: The college football is not going to pay. First of all,
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: they'll never be a commissioner.
• 27:58
  Speaker 6: If he did get the job, Ben and everybody was
• 28:00
  Speaker 6: the first day he comes to Big the Big Boss,
• 28:02
  Speaker 6: and he watched him with his little doggie.
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I love I love John.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: I love dogs, but I'm a little tired of his dog.
• 28:16
  Speaker 6: It's a little much, right.
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: Can't we show up to work without a dog? I
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: do the show without my dog. I I love my dog.
• 28:25
  Speaker 6: Yeah, dog will dog grown?
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: Now I get it. Like we have a moving man
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: Matt and his dog Louis, but he's.
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: In a truck by himself. All I get that. But
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: if you're Kirk Kurbsa, what are you doing? And how
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: do let me ask you this? How like what most hotels,
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: like I'm telling luxury hotels don't.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: They don't take dogs, do they?
• 28:45
  Speaker 6: Apparently if you're rich enough they will.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: That's a good point.
• 28:49
  Speaker 6: I'm not saying that they do. Yeah, and again, I'm
• 28:52
  Speaker 6: not rich. I'm not staying there.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: Anyway neither am I.
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, thank you for get call. All right,
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: it's great, John. I like that guy's rare good call.
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: To make sure that we take a bad call, let's
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: go to hollering James in Minnesota. Hello, Hollering James in Minneapolis, Minius,
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: ault Ta, James, Hollering James, James, James, James, James, James, James,
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: holloweing James.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: Killing once, going twice? Do I hear a third time?
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye.
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: So I mentioned this earlier, the sixty eight percent. This
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: is a fascinating story. So there's a guy named Ryan Williams,
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: which is a very generic name. You do not want
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: to be named Ryan Williams if you're famous, because it's
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: not a memorable name.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: You need a nickname. So Ryan Williams is a very
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: good football player at Alabama in tuscal Looosa, Alabama, and
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: he mentioned.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: Recently that he has decided to delete social media from.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: His life after he averaged.
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: How many hours a day on his phone. Let's see,
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: let's go around the room here. Don't cheat, don't cheat,
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: don't go create, don't through the old Eddie and go
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: create Lorena through a round robin here, how many hours
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: do you think Ryan Williams, a football player at Alabama,
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: spent on his phone before he decided that I've got
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: to stop doing that.
• 30:35
  Speaker 9: Eight hours and forty seven minutes straight.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: Then, thank you for the exact number. I do appreciate that.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: Kooper loop.
• 30:45
  Speaker 5: Ten hours.
• 30:47
  Speaker 10: All right, Okay, good guess good guess?
• 30:50
  Speaker 9: Ah, guess why?
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: I know I know the answer, I know the answer.
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: It turns out that Ryan Williams averaged eleven hour hours
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: a day on his phone. So I did the math
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: on this. The average person sleeps eight hours a day,
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: so that means you're awake. If there's twenty four hours
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: in the day, that means you're awake sixteen.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: Now I'm using malor math on this, and of.
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: Course time is a human something humans created, so who
• 31:17
