• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Anyway, This the Ben Male Show. Now that the top
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: stories over the course of the overnight. If you've been
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: with us all night. We had a rant about the
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: collapse of the Lakers, the Mighty Lakers. It's all over,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: and the Dallas Mavericks won the trade. Lucas fat Boy.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Does he look fat? We ranted about that and why
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: he looks fat. Travis Kelsey's leaning towards playing for the
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Chiefs again even though he's diminishing. His skills are diminishing.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Robo umpires are coming to baseball today. We had ran
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: about that. All this will be available on the podcast
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: and our lead story this hour to begin the coveted
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: our number four hour, Number four lead from Cincinnati a
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: contract squabble.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: Did you hear? Maybe not? Maybe not.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: We have learned that Bengals wide receiver Jamar Chase he
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: will get paid. Now we know he's gonna get paid,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: but to the tune of at least forty million per year.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: According to the chatter around the NFL, they call it AAV.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: People in football are obsessed with it average annual value.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: When I look at my average annual value, I get depressed.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: When football players look at their average annual value, they
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: have a cheshire cat smile from.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Ear to ear.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: So the superstar of the Cincinnati football team, he earned
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: the Triple Crown like your favorite racehorse, but football wise
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four and put all those great stats together.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: On a team that didn't even make the playoffs. So
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: let us discuss the question.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Jamar Chase looking to get a contract that will pay
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: him minimum forty million average annual value per year. There
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Where do you see this thing going with Cincinnati knowing
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: the salary cap is going up? So I've got the rack,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: october Fest and Artistic. We'll put these together and we
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: are going to make the secret weapon.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Okay, We're gonna make.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: This secret weapon because I am a little Einstein, little
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Albert Einstein. So to kick off here, this Jamar Chase story,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: I am convinced, is going up a blind alley. It's
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: going to end up at Impass. The Bengals in their
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: DNA are cheap skins.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: Well they paid Joe Burrow. I got that. I got that,
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: but I'm still not convinced.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: And what I know of the Cincinnati back it's a
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: family run business. It's old money, and old money in
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: sports doesn't spend money because they pocket that money for
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: exotic trips and vacations and buy fifth houses and things
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: like that. So when it comes to find chances, I
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: think Cincinnati's on shaky ground. They are at their core
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: chief skates and we've all known somebody like Listen. I
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: don't spend a ton of money either, but occasionally I'll
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: all splurge. Occasionally, all splurge. But if I could find
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: something cheaper, sure, And the Bengals prefer to shop at
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: the rack, the discount rack, that's where they like to go.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: They like to go to the rack outside of a
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: hostile takeover, complete with meds and therapy and some kind
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: of scented candles. This thing is going to go down
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: to the eleventh hour, like I would be stunned if
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: we come in here in the next couple of weeks
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: or a couple of months even.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: And they find common ground.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Jamar Chase is wonderful, right scriptball player, and it's his
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: time to get the dough.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: I get all that.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: The bar for Jamar Chase is the color purple.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: It's a color purple because it's the real It's a
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: relay race. And right now in the very front of.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: The relay race is Justin Jefferson of the Purple People Eaters,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: who was college teammates with LSU. But that is wide
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: receiver you Louisiana State University. I don't know what they're
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: putting in the water in Baton Rouge, but my god,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: they they have turned them out to stud NFL receivers
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: year after year for a long time now, and may
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: it's nuts. Anyway, Jefferson and Chase were college buddies. And
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: so this is the the number. Justin Jefferson signed a
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: contract extension last year and that is at thirty five
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: million dollars per year. I know very concerned about the
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: finances of these people, so that the chase is on
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: to pass that number by Now does he get thirty
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: five million and one dollar, one dollar, one dollar more
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: or does he get what he if the Bengals were
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: to pay. Imagine if you will, a world where the
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Bengals pay Jamar Chase forty million dollars per year. They
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: would be paying a wide receiver as much or more
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: in average annual value than eighteen starting quarterbacks in the NFL.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Let me repeat that for those of you a little slow.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: It's a weird time. Maybe you're sluggish in the back
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: of the room. If the Cincinnati football team does cross
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: the rubicon at forty million dollars per year, that means
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: that Jamar Chase will make as much or more.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: In aav than eighteen starting quarterbacks.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there are If you do the math on this,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: there are fourteen starters who make more than that amount
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: per year. Chase would make as much as Matthew Stafford.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: But remember Stafford's gonna likely sign a new contract, whether
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: it's with the Rams probably not, or more in that
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: minute actually or some other team, and he's in the
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: process of redoing that. So what does Jamar Chase, what's
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: his resume?
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: Say?
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Well, he led the NFL in targets he led the
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: NFL in pretty much every category, but last season leading
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: the NFL in targets. The greatest year you can have
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: as a wide receiver won the wide Receiver triple crowd.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: I did the Milord math on this, so it works
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: out to ten point two targets per game. With NFL
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: teams running on average, sometimes a little less, sometimes more,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: seventy plays will set seventy plays as the baseline. A
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: typical NFL game, each team runs the ball runs seventy
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: plays offensive play. That means, using my computer like brain
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: and a calculator, Jamar Chase gets the ball roughly fourteen
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: point five percent of all the offensive plays.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: And that was leading the NFL in targets.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: So is a player granted a very good player who
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: can reach for the stars.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: Is that player worth forty million if.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: He's only getting the ball less than fifteen percent of
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: the time, And that's what you have to decide. Now,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: someone's gonna pay him, whether it's the Bengals or somebody else.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: He's going to find that money. And if his heart
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: is set on getting forty million dollars a year, he's
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: going to get that. He just probably have to leave
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Cincinnati and go somewhere else, now furthermore to Jersey. So
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: a few days ago we did a mini Mallard monologue,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: a little crossfire action here.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers, by the way, caught in the crossfire.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: We told you about a story that was making the
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: rounds in the echo chamber that said that Aaron Rodgers
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: had pleaded, pleaded with the Jets brass to keep him
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: I don't want to leave, and they treated him with
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: the cold shoulder they rejected. So I bring that up
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: because now there's an insider report that says that Rogers
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: wanted his time with the Jets to come to an e.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: And so we've got two polar opposite reports here. You've
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: got the insider report. The latest report which came came
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: out last twenty four hours. It said Aaron Rodgers wanted
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: his time with the Jets end. This comes after chatter
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: that he had begged to stay in New York. So
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: how do you process all of this? Well, obviously someone
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: is going to put some money into the kitty for
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: lying fibbing. So what do you think is really going on?
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: I got a theory. Let me run this by here,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: see if you agree with me or disagree So my
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: theory is that when you talk about Aaron, Aaron Rodgers
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: always has more leaks than the men's room at Octoberfest.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of leaks. Always with Rogers, a lot
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: of leaks. So his latest leak is a counter strike,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: a counter strike to the Jets. It's the battle of narratives,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: the battle of narratives. The Jets leaked, Rogers pleaded to stay,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: and now Aaron's guys or Aaron himself coming back and
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: saying well, no, no, I was ready to leave the
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: Jets because when you play the game who leaked the story,
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: it's who looks better in the story and why leak
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: the story?
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: And the obvious one.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: When that story came out and said, you know, Aaron
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: Rodgers wanted to stay with the Jets and all that,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: immediately I was like, all right, they got a new
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: coaching staff, new front office with the Jets. This makes
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: them look good that Rogers wanted to be there, and
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: they're the tough guys and they told him no, and
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: it made Rogers look like a mister softy that this
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: guy pathetically wanted to stay with the Jets and they
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: didn't want it. So he looked back but this latest
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: report is like, well, no, no, Aaron, he was ready to
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: leave the Jets. The Jets suck and they're gonna suck,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: and he didn't want to be there with those dweebs
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: with the Jets. Come on those schmndrick's. So remember pyramid though,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: there are three sides to every story. In this case,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: you've got Aaron Rodgers' side, You've got the Jet side,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: and then you've got the truth. Now, Rogers' speculation driving
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: a lot of.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: Engagement right now.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: In the last forty eight hours, Rogers has been connected
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: with none other than the La Rams, the Pittsburgh Steelers,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: and the Tennessee Titans. I imagine later today we'll hear
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: rumors about the Cleveland Browns and mystery team. We wait
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: with baited breath for Aaron rodgers next grab ass session
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: with Pat McAfee to feed the rumor machine. Stay tuned
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: all right, now, last thing I mentioned here that the
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: Rams are at loggerheads with Matthew Stafford. So the Rams
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: are said to be asking for a first round pick
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: for Matthew Stafford.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: That's my quarterback. So what can we learn from this?
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: What can we learn from this one?
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: The Rams if you believe the reporting, they're dancing around,
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: they're doing the let's make a deal dance.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: And they want a first round pick.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: So to me, they are setting this thing up. They're
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: setting this thing up where the bar is very high.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: All right, they're.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: Setting the bar out of the cosmos outside the Milky Way.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: And many people are laughing.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: And I actually got an email from some douchebag Patriots
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: fans like, no.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: I know you like the Rams, bed, but this is ridiculous.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: No one's gonna give up that much for you give
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: me that whole rant, not in right back to that bozo.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: But here's the thing.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: You laugh all you want, and so nobody's gonna give
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: up a first round draft pick for a thirty seven
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: year old quarterback. But I would say, if you're laughing,
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: you're you're a country bumpkin who doesn't know the arts,
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: because what the Rams are doing as they're being artistic.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: Having read the book Art of the Deal, I think
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Trump wrote that the Art of the Deal, you request
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: terms you know your opponent will not exit. You know,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: going into the negotiation, your opponent's not going to give
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: you a first round pick. But it's negotiation one on
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: one you ask for a lot more, you recognize that
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: the person you're negotiating with will likely give a little,
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: maybe a lot along the way, And by asking for
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: something that's ridiculous outside the norm, the adversary cannot should
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: not take that seriously. The Rams are essentially arranging the
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: pieces on the chessboard to get the betterment of the franchise.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: You don't ask for what you don't really want. They
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: would love a first round pick. And while you might
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: think the RAMS request is outrageous and unbecoming, it doesn't
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: mean that other teams might not give give in for
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: what they want.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: Right unless you're unaware of this, there's a lot of
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: nut jobs that own NFL teams.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: They got them because they won the genetic lot and
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: they were born into the family and like jim Irsay.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: For example, let's say Jim Irsay wakes up after a
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: bender in Indy and is like, you know what, I
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: had a dream that the Colts win the Super Bowl
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: with Matthew Stafford and it's over the top, but I
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: need to get Stafford. The Rams want a first round pick. Okay,
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: we'll send him a first round pick. And while the
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: outcome has a low probability. You gotta find the idiot
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: in the room, and you don't know who the idiot
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: in the room is until you give them an ignor
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: Ramis proposal and they accept it. Now, most likely teams
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: will continue to offer counter proposals right until you come
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: up with some sort of sweet spot, and the Rams
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: will certainly settle for less than the moon.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: The moon would be a first round draft pick. The
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: moon is the.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: High end, and you know, give a little give and
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: take a little back and forth art of the deal negotiation,
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: you know you're gonna settle for less.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: La would be very.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: Happy with, like what a second round pick or even
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: a third round pick. Now that said my fellow RAM fans,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: who can ram it all day and ram it all night.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: They're upset with me because it is a feedback I'm
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: getting because I I'm.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: Approving the idea of moving on from Matthew Stafford. And
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: there's a number of.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: RAM officionados, as Lorena would say, that do not agree
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: with that.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: But here's my issue.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: I'd much rather get rid of Stafford a year or
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: two early rather than until he completely is fertilizer and
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: then that's it. And I trust Sean McVay. As long
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: as McVeigh is there and engaged, I have faith that
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: McVeigh will figure it out. And the Rams identity now
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: is a young defense and Puka Nakua, and they liked
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: their offensive line. They'll like the ad to their offensive
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: line this year in the draft. So as long as
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: mcvay's engaged, they'll figure it out. Whether they get an
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: old geezer to play quarterback like Aaron Rodgers, or they
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: go draft some loser from East North South suck you.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: It doesn't matter that whoever they get, I believe McVeigh
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: will coach up and they'll be at least at the
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: very worst of fringe playoff team, and so they'll be
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: in good shape there. All right, it is the Ben
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Mahlor Show. You want to comment on any of this,
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: We are open for business. We'll get back to the
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: calls here momentarily at eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: That's eight seven seven nine nine six six three six nine.

• 19:27
  Speaker 2: I didn't want to mention this before I forget.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: We started the hour ranting and raving about Jamar Chase
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: and some other random stuff in the NFL. But a major,
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: major tip of the headphones to Mike Lange. Now you
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: probably maybe know who he is, maybe not we you know,
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: I'm not a.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: Big hockey guy.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: I will talk some hockey tonight, the game in Boston,
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: USA and Canada and the four nation thing. I'll be
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: checking that out, so I'll watch that.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: But here's the thing.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: So Mike Lang was the voice of the pits Burg hockey.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: Team for years, and Mike Lange died this week.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: He retired a couple of years back, and he called
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: Penguins hockey from like the seventies up until a.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: Few years ago. He was the voice of the Penguins.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: And as the team said, they sent out a release
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: time about how what a wordsmith he was and a magician.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: He said, well, a lot of that's hyperbole.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: And but no, no, what it wasn't in fact, we
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: played for years from my early days here at Fox
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio when I was, like, you know, I was
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: twelve years old. It was a child labor when I started,
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: and we played Mike Lang highlight and this guy was
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: he's originally from Sacramento. I'm sure our friends stuck in
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: Sacramento appreciates that, but he's from Sacramento. And he became
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: a beloved yinsur over the years, and he had so
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: many famous calls.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: And I remember having a conversation.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: With the Looney Tunes, who I do the TV show with,
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: and he's like, this guy's perfect because he makes it
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: all about him. But he did it in such a
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: loving way. And so the Penguins when they would score
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: a goal, he would throw in a ridiculous line like
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: shave my face with a rusty razor, you know, something
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: like that, or scratch my back with a hacksaw, like
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: all this crazy stuff, all this crazy stuff. And he
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: would throw in these random statements like let's go moose,
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: you go hunt a moose on a Harley or something
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: like that. Right, you know, this goes back. The Penguins
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: used to be really good every year, and they kind
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: of not very good anymore. But when they had yarm
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: or Yager and those guys back in the day, and
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: it was great. And when they would do something cool,
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: he'd be like, oh, many's smiling like a butcher's dog.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: Or the most famous line, which is a classic line,
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: is beaten like a rented mule when the goalie for
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: the other team gave up a goal. Never a Penguin's goalie,
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: but the other team beaten like a rented mule. And
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: what else he would say?
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: What are some of his other ones?
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: No, I don't know whether to cry or wind his watch,
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: you know, stuff like that. Son, rest in peace, Mike Lang, life,
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: well lived, Mike Laang, the voice of the Pittsburgh Penguins
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: for so many years. And when of those iconic old
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: school play by play guys, and he has crossed over
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: there to the pearly gates. Let's go to the phones
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: and we'll say hello to eeny Meeni, miney mo. Blind
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: Scott is on the north end of Boston, and hello

  Speaker 5: You know, I want him at these events.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: Are you sure about that? Yeah? No, I know.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: I thought I thought he was going to attend, but
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: I guess he decided not to. And I don't think
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: you can just show up at the last minute if
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: you're the president, right, you can't just like say, surprise
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: eyes and drive out on the zamboni at the first inn.
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: Miss, Yeah, I hit a flag. I was gonna hang
• 23:06
  Speaker 5: so I was going to go and so I was
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: trying to check if he was coming out. So I
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: was going to go in the garden now and I
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: was going to go and hang it out like off
• 23:13
  Speaker 5: the roof so when they show it, you would be
• 23:14
  Speaker 5: able to see it. But it's useless now if he's
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: not shown up. I'm not going to go do that
• 23:18
  Speaker 5: for no reason, you know what I'm saying, Like, now, would.

  Speaker 1: All right, Yeah, I don't know what that was. But anyway,
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: moving on, Angry But what do you want to complain
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: about today?
• 25:10
  Speaker 6: Well, I'm not actually a complaint, but this guy with
• 25:13
  Speaker 6: the METS, he owner of the mess. He's really starting
• 25:15
  Speaker 6: to bother me. He doesn't understand when he spent that
• 25:18
  Speaker 6: money on Juan Soto. Now he wants to reduce the
• 25:20
  Speaker 6: payroll and do it through the draft once he did
• 25:24
  Speaker 6: what he did with one. So he's in bed with
• 25:26
  Speaker 6: the guy and he's going to keep going the same way.
• 25:29
  Speaker 6: He's got to get the people and the players to
• 25:31
  Speaker 6: support Loan Soto. He's going to keep spending and spending
• 25:35
  Speaker 6: a little bit like the Dodgers. I don't understand.
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: Well, I saw listen.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: I thought what Cohen said about the Dodgers was he
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: was like, hey, he didn't rip him like Steinbrenner's kid did.
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, he praised them for what they did.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: He didn't rip them, and they spent a lot of
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: money and he praised them.
• 25:54
  Speaker 6: I mean, yes, he has to do the same thing.
• 25:57
  Speaker 6: He can't just back off. Now, Oh my god, I
• 26:00
  Speaker 6: can't believe. Obviously he's an intelligent man, but somebody I
• 26:05
  Speaker 6: don't believe.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: I didn't.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: I didn't see the quote you're talking about. But I
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: don't believe he's gonna back down. He's a fan of
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: the Mets, and you know every but angry Bill. You
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: know that in you know, next off season, maybe the
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: Mets think they're a picture away and there'll be a
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: picture who's a free agent, and Coan will get a
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: bug up his you know, took us, and then they'll
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: go out and sign the guy.
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: That's how it works.
• 26:26
  Speaker 6: There's a lot of articles online about how he wants
• 26:28
  Speaker 6: to back off and get the pay.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: I don't I don't believe it. He can say anything.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: It's spring training. You can say anything crap you want. Now, Well,
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: proof is when you have to make those decisions.
• 26:40
  Speaker 6: Well, he's got to keep his mouth shut, bet and
• 26:43
  Speaker 6: keep spending. It's ridiculous.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: Well, no talk shows. He can keep talking all he wants.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: It's good for my business.
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, I.
• 26:51
  Speaker 6: Think he was complaining about his attendance. He doesn't he's
• 26:55
  Speaker 6: been in baseball for long and he doesn't know. He's
• 26:58
  Speaker 6: not the Chicago Cubs, he's not the Boston Red Sox.
• 27:01
  Speaker 6: The fans show up no matter what, they don't show up.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: Well, but his argument was with the Mets, like if
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: the assumption was if the Mets ever get a good
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: team again, that the people will show up. And the
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: Mets had a good although they didn't play great at
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: the beginning year, but they had a good team last
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: year and the fans weren't really there.
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: So that's what he was.
• 27:19
  Speaker 6: It's just it's not a type of place they're going
• 27:21
  Speaker 6: to get packed with fans. Okay, and let's say some
• 27:24
  Speaker 6: unique thing going on. It's same nineteen sixty nine, This
• 27:27
  Speaker 6: ain't seventy three. He just he doesn't understand that it's
• 27:31
  Speaker 6: a crappy place to go.
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: Okay, well it is. I say it's a new ballpark,
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: but it's actually been around for a while now. But
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: the Mets.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: The Mets drew fewer fans than Toronto, and Toronto sucked
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: last year.
• 27:46
  Speaker 6: So look the Yankee Stadium. Watched the game of Yankee
• 27:48
  Speaker 6: Stadium and the pan around the view and then there's
• 27:52
  Speaker 6: empty seats all over the place at the Yankee Stadium.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: Well, the thing to at Yankee Stadium, and it's just
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: the same. There is a problem everywhere. They tried for
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: the aristocrats. They in these ballparks, they have these fine restaurants.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: My cousin lives in Connecticut. She gets Yankee tickets a
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: couple of times a year. She goes to the game
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: and she just eats in the restaurant behind Home Place.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: She has tickets right behind Home played Bill. She didn't
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: even watch the game. She's watching her on TV, eating seafood.
• 28:17
  Speaker 6: She wants to look like you, Ben, don't worry about.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: It, Keet blind Scott pick On. Immediately I get out
• 28:23

• 28:28
