  Speaker 2: dot Com the way tire buying. Sure me and we're
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: back at it again this hour, talking bays Bawl, talking
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: bays ball. So I laid this hour from the Grapefruit League.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to start out with the sow recap
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: conversation and all that. No, no, no pivot. I'll get
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: to that eventually. I'll get to that.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: I don't want to hear about that.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: It just relaxed. So I go to spring training camp
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: in Florida, where the Atlanta Braves are said to be
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: one of the teams lurking in the shadows, bird dogging
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: the Dodgers in the National League. And if the Dodgers
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: were to stumble that the Atlanta Braves would be the team.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Of course, they've had some major injuries already their pitching staff.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: But former Braves pitcher and current Atlanta broadcaster CJ.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: And Ninkowski pretty mediocre pitcher.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: But CJ. Ninkowski he has decided he wants Major League
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Baseball to change how they handle Shohyotani.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Do you see this?
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah? And in Kowski recently went on the Socials and
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: went on a little bit of a rant. The Atlanta
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: Braves broadcasters said it is time to revisit the Otani rule.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: He went on to say, why do the Dodgers get
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: to carry an extra pitcher when Otani is making regular
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: starts in the rotation. He had a question mark there.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: So this led, of course to a feeding frenzy of
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: people who were not dog piling on CJ. Nkowski. They
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: were supp They're like Oh yeah, you're right, it's not fair.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: So that is a good jumping off point. Let us
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: discuss the question braves broadcaster CJ. Nikowski wanting baseball to revisit,
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: which is really a nice way of saying, let's get
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: rid of this Otani rule. That's what he meant. Does
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: anyone disagree with that? Does anyone disagree that he wanted
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: to get rid of the Otani rule? So how does
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: that sound to you? Now, I've got the bubonic plague,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Professor Egan and saber tooth tiger, and we will combine
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: all of these things together, and we are going to
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: deliver the knockout blow. Boom boom, the knockout blow, just
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: like that. All right, So number I said, Number Yeah, okay,
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: the ups and downs, right, the ups and down. Now,
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: we did not get the memo. We did not get
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: the memo that CJ. Nikowski is the rules expert in
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: Major League Baseball. We didn't get that. I guess it happened.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: I might have missed it. I might have missed it.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: My heart bleeds for Atlanta that this is one of
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: their broadcasters and is pathetic with a capital peek. We
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: have not even had the first spring training game. They
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: begin shortly. We have not had the first spring training game,
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: and the Blue Crew bubonic plague, the Blue Crew boobonic plague,
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: is already rotting away the brains of many around Major
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: League Baseball. So good. I gotta tell you, some of
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: you know, when in my younger days, I did the
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Dodger postgame show, I did the Dodger Talk, and they sucked. Okay,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: and I've told this so before, but I would rant.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: I was like, why can't the Dodgers be like the Yankees?
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Because the Yankees at that time where they were the
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: dynasty and all that, and the Dodgers were a bunch
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: of tight wads, and I was like, why couldn't they
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: be like the Yanks. Well, here, I've lived long enough
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: and I see widespread d DS Dodger Derangement syndrome.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: It's real, and the Atlanta Braves, led by.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: Their broadcaster here, are suffering from it.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Is it true? Is it true that CJ.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: And Nikowski is just not merely talking that he is
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: a messenger pigeon for the hierarchy of the Bravest franchise.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Now this is where my conspiratorial mind kicks in. I
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: ask the question to you. You are on the jury.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: Is it possible that Alex Anthopolis, the big shot executive there,
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: and the front office in Atlanta have been whispering this.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: And hey, hey CJ, Yeah.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: What do you want? CJ? Can you go on the
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: socials and toss this out? Get this thing, go and
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: see if we can get some support, get a grassroots
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: movement here to crew the Dodgers over just kind of
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: poke the Blue crew. Okay, sure, no problem, Shoe a Otani.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: I might be wrong on this, but he is a
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: global unicorn. Baseball is a sport that has a bunch
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: of regional stars, and Otani has crossed the rubicon and
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: he's a global star. And Atlanta they're chasing the Dodger, right,
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: I mentioned they're bird dogging. And you look at some
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: of the expectations this year. The Braves, assuming they find
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: some starting pitching here, is supposed to be one of
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: the teams that are in contention of the National League.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: And every team this can blow you away. Nobody else
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: has this take. Every team can use the Otani rule.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: Every single team can use the Otani rule. Just go
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: out and find a guy to start. You don't have
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: to find a guy hit fifty home runs and start.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: You can find a guy that can be a number
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: five starter and take the advantage, take the advantage of
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: having an extra player in the bullpen or whatever you
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: want to do with that extra roster spot. But you're
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: telling me you can't. You can't find anyone like Mike's
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: race around baseball players is almost all of them were
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: the top player on their little league team.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Almost all of.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: Them were the top player on their high school team.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: Almost all of them at one point was a pitch.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: We're pitching like the eve think of these guys, well,
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: that's the guy's just a left fielder.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Well, in high school.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: He started every game and won every game.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: You know, he went a lightweight. They were lightweights.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: And then what you do is you pigeonhole these guys
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: and you say, well, you're a hitter, you're not a pitcher,
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: and they'll like, well, okay, see things have changed. Things
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: have changed. It's really kind of it's sad for that.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: I feel bad for the Braves fans, Tommy and Atlanta
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: and those guys soft it's the victim mentality, and that's
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: not the Braves. I know, where's Chief Nakahoma? Where has
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: Chief Knockahoma gone when he's rolling over in his grave
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: right now, is what he's doing.
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Meanwhile, page two we.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: Go to the Bronx and one of the players, one
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: of the few players in baseball that does not give
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: a boring quote, plays for the New York Yankees. He's
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: the second baseman named Jazz Chisholm Junior. And he's just
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: warming up, just warming up there in the Buggey Down Brocks,
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: getting ready for.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: The season and actually in Florida.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: So Jashism is not only planning on winning the Most
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: Valuable Player award in the American League, he's also going
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: to take home the Silver Slugger and a gold Glove.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: That's right, He's going to hit the trifecta. But wait,
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: there's more. He also believes that he has the tools
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: to become the second player in baseball history to hit
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: fifty home runs and steal fifty bases in a single season.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: A Tani. We just talked about him, Showy O Tani,
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: the first and only to do it a couple of
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: years ago for the Doyers. There's even more. But wait,
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: there's even more. He's also talking about a ten war
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: that's wins above replacement season. Chisholm has never posted more
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: than a four point four on the war Tistic, which
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: the nerds absolutely love, and he's he's targeting the big
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: shot there. He wants, he wants the big number there,
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: and he believes that just cleaning up his defense will
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: help this all skyrocket, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: So, now, as you might imagine, when.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: You tell these tall tales the show and these shaggy
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: dog stories and all that, you get roasted. So jazzh
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: Chisholm was getting smoked.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: What are you doing, dude, You're not good.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: He was on the All Star team. Yes, I think
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: he's in that weird area where he's a good player,
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: not a great player, and there's a lot of guys
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: like that. I don't think he's as good as like
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: the accolades he's gotten. He plays with the Yankees. Everything
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: gets elevated when you play for the for the Yankees.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: It is also something that needs to be mentioned here.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: He's going to be a free agent at the end
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: of this season. The Yankees did not decide to sign
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: him to a new mega contract.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: That's a whole other story, a whole other story.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: So the question and why, okay, why is Star Jazz
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: Chism talking, you know, talking and it taking so much heat?
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: Why is he taking so much hate from talking.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: About targeting a fifty to fifty campaign for the New
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: York Yankees. So you've got the baseball purist crowd, which
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: somehow are still overwhelmingly out there clutching their pearls so
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: hard they're pooping diamonds. It's a while, there's diamonds in
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: the toilet. And yeah, and I get part of it,
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: like this goes against every bit of the baseball orthodoxy.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: We're talking about a sport that literally had to launch
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: a marketing campaign titled let the Kids Play just to
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: convince many of the fans that it was okay to
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: flip a bat. They had to have a marketing campaign
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: say let the kids play. So a Jazz is breaking
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: the sacred Major League Baseball decorum. He's breaking that and
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: persnickety unwritten rules of the game, which have all been written.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: They've all been written. But one of the big ones
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: is you talk softly. You don't make bold predictions and
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: all that stuff. Talk softly. Carry a big Louisville slugger,
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: Big Louisville slugger.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: And now when you're name jazz, you can't do quiet.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: Your name jazz, that's not real nick, but your name jazz,
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: you know it's a nigga jazz Chisholm Right, he's.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Got the gift of gab.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: And when you have the gift of gab, right, Curmudgeons,
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: of course call it verbal diarrhea, but you gotta talk,
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: gotta let it out. Right. He's bringing NBA level bravado
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: jazz chism to a game run by guys who think
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: the colorful sleeve that you wear on your elbow is
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: a revolutionary act at baseball. And so yeah, chism, it
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: cuts both ways. It's a double edged sword because he's
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: putting a massive bull's eye on his back. And as
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: my professor taught me, Professor Egan and I went to
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: the University of Ghostbusters, and he taught me that you
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: do not cross the streams. Don't do it. You cross
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: the streams and you mess with the baseball gods, and
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: every molecule in your body, every little piece of your
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: body there might just explode at the speed of light.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: That's it. So you gotta walk this tightrope now, regardless
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: the mallor naked truth, love it, love it mention.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: This is a double edgeword. So yeah, you got a
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: bulls on your back.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: But it's the old PT Barnum one o one PT
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: Barnum one o one. It's good for business.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: It's good for business.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: You don't care what they say as long as they
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: spell jazz chisholm right on the social media platforms. Right
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: if he's hitting those numbers. So if he goes out
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: and does hit some of those numbers, legend, legend.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: If he goes out and does a.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: Belly whopper jazz chism, then he's still a legend, just
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: in a different kind of way. The meme makers will
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: have a field day. They'll have a feast on that.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: Either way, you're helping bring some buzzback, get in that
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: zeitgeist of baseball right now. Now, final point, Labor update.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: Labor update, we go to the Baseball labor Dispute battlefield
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: cb A, the collective Bargaining Agreement. I was told by
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: program director years ago to never mention collective bargaining agreement
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: on the radio. I'm breaking the fourth wall here by
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: doing that. By doing that, so we're talking about salary cap.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: So we have learned the owners. We have the outline
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: of what the owners want. The owners want a and
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: listen closely. You're never supposed to give out numbers on
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: the radio, so listen closely. The owners want the cap
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: floor for the first proposal to be between one hundred
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: and forty million and one hundred and sixty million for
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: the that's the bottom three for teams would be one
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: hundred and forty to one hundred and sixty million. The
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: ceiling would fall in the range of two hundred and
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: sixty million to two hundred eighty million. It would also
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: have to be grandfathered in for a couple of years
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: because teams have contracts that are over that number. Some
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: teams do.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: But wait, there's more.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: Major League Baseball owners have also funded a war chest.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: It's being described a war chest according to the tabloids,
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: and approximately seventy five million per team in a rainy
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: day fund. Seventy five million financial protect they've been saving
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: up for years, for years, preparing for this battle, for years,
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: buying tanks and bazoukas and drones and all that, and
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: so the ownership fund is said to contain a total
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: value if you believe what they're leaking to the media
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: of over two billion dollars with a capitol be two
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: billion dollars. So the question what is the word, right,
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: what is the word for Major League Baseball owners allegedly
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: saving up two billion for a workstoppage, So that is
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: a massive let's start with this. Let me get this right.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: So baseball owners have stashed over the last couple years
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: two billion in this lockout war chest thing, and they
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: want you to believe at the same time they're broke. Okay,
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: they must really think you're dumb. They must think you
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: are so stupid. How do you tie your shoes? You're moron?
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: That's Rob Manford's baseball. You're dumb. That's not poverty, that's
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: that's planning ahead right pre whatever you are buying your weapons.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: My word, though, is fear mongering, all right, My word
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: is fear mongering.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: For the two billion, shock and all shocked and all.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: What they're doing is they're using the saber toothed tiger
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: technique better known as saber rattling. And before they even
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: walk into the boardroom to negotiate a new agreement with
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: the players, the owners are saying, well, we already have
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: seventy five million per team, just sitting there like canned goods,
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: like a can of corn in the bunker. And if
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: you're saving that much, okay, if you're saving that much
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: for a work stoppage, you're planning on a hum dinger
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: of a work stoppage, are you not? Is that's how
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: I read the room. Now, for the proposed capologists out
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: there that have floated the hypothetical salary cap mentioned to
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: be grandfathered in, very generous of them at Baseball. So
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: we went and looked at some of the numbers that
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: are available, and we opened up the books, something that
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: Baseball will not do, by the way, they will not
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: open up the books. Showed players the spreadsheets because you know,
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: if you're starving, just prove it. And then okay, we
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: got a deal using malor math. Using malar math, how
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: many teams with the numbers they gave on the projected
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: salary floor and then salary cap. Why don't we go
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: we'll start at the ceiling, the high end. How many
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: teams are over the ceiling and would be affected and
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: have to you know, futs around with the salarycap. Out
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: of the thirty teams in baseball, how many teams are
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: spending over what would be the projected salary cap? The
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: answer four, that's it, thirteen percent. Thirteen percent. Now let
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: me ask you another question. Out of the thirty teams
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: in baseball, we've already eliminated four. We've already eliminated four
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: because four teams are over what would be the salary cap?
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: What about the floor the salary for how many teams
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: in baseball do you think are below what.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: The minimum would be under this proposal?
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: You got a number, all right, how about fourteen out
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: of the thirty, So that works out to forty six
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: point six percent. Almost half of Major League Baseball is
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: spending less than what they're proposing, which means they could
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: be spending over that, but they're not. And that's not
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: just a broken system. That is a by design competitive
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: inbalance for the ages. Wake up the echoes, and so
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: now we are heading towards deadline theater. Deadline theater is
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: where we're going, and this is where nothing happens until
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: the clock hits midnight. They're on the new ozempic diet
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: for negotiations. Now that diet is a strict deadline only diet,
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: deadline only diet where you just twiddle your thumbs, you
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: pick your nose, you grab your ass, and you leak
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: sob stories to try to soften soften the players up
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: and talk about all the money you've got in your
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: war chest and all this stuff and cry poverty while
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: you attempt to give the players a full frontal lobotomy.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: It's a strategy. It is a decision.
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: It's it's also, you know, a bit of an intimidation
• 20:14

• 22:40
  Speaker 2: tried contact them and coople loop. Right over there, a
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: Bronco fan, Your comments can and will be used against
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: you in the kangaroo cord of the Malard militia. So
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: please please act accordingly. All right, back to it we go.
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: And reminder, later this hour I'll have mallor to the
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: third degree. That'll be coming up a little bit later
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: in the hour. They baseball heavy Mallard monologue to begin
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: this hour. And our friend Jill, the long suffering Yankee fan,
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: I don't know how she goes on here the Yankees
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: haven't won in almost twenty years a championship, and she
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: says it's Jazz's personality. He is good in the clubhouse.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: Stop it, Ben, are you yelling at me? I do
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: not need you yelling at me. I don't I do
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: not need that. No, So Jazz, who's been with the
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: Yankees now how many years? I guess two? Full years
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: or a year and a half, I guess because he
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: was traded from the Marlins in twenty twenty four. It's
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: now twenty twenty six, so that would be that would
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: be too, that would be a year and a half.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: That would be a year and a half.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: And I didn't say it was a bad player.
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: I just merely said that he's that weird area where
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: he's good but not as good as some people think
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: he is because of the whole New York, New York thing.
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: The Yankees makes a lot of mistakes, makes a lot
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: of mistakes defensively one of the I think it was
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: the worst defensive second baseman in baseball last year. So
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: and he said, oh yeah, we'll get better. I hope
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: he does. And this would be a year where you
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: got to go out and get that bag of money,
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: convinced the Yankees to pay you a ton of money,
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: a ton of money. My analysis is I think I'm
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: spot on. If you go buy Baseball Reference, which is
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: pretty good, who's the comp for Jazz Chism, who would
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: be a similar player from a previous era and the
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: similar batter for the Yankees. Jazz Chism is someone that
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: I don't think you're gonna lie if you're a Yankee fan.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: That would be the Great Russ Davis Mariner legend. And
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: he also played for the Yankees. This is back to
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: the nineties, mostly with the Mariners, though the Great Russ Davis.
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: Another nondescript name that is compared to jazz chism would
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: be the Great Morgan Ensburg astro legend from back in
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: the day. So put that in your pipe and smoke it.
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: Who else do we have?
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: Page down? Neil can't close the deal?
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: Neil in Indiana says Ben I cannot listen live much anymore.
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: I know how much you love bumper music, but I
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: just wanted to know if you come in every hour
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: to a Metallica song. Now, the last I heard it
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: was the Benny Hill music. He also says, jazz chislm
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: has got to be one of the funniest names in
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: sports right now. It's a pretty good name. Not an
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: all time Well you like, yeah can nipple for the
• 26:00

  Speaker 2: kids must don't make me pinch you. It must have.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: Busted his balls. As far as the music, well it
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: was I don't know.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: Loraina chooses she's in charge of the music and I
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: just nobody on the podcast. Here's the music. People don't
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: understand that if you listen to the podcast because of
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: licensing fees and costs money and all that, that's uh,
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: that's a no no fly zone. So you don't hear
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: the music on the podcast. But yeah, we've been the
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: Lorraine's been playing Metallica. What caused that, Loraina? Do you
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: just wake up one morning say we want Metallica? Or
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: what was the move there?
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well just one of the days I played to
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: Enter Sandman for Comeback Music, and I was like, you know,
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: you're you're kind of the Sandman.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: You're up playing you know, sports talk all night. So
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: I thought it was just a good.
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: Switch up closer Okay, but people love it.

  Speaker 2: the Ben Mallor Show Lucky Tony, Lucky Tony. And the
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: number one number one caller on the Ben Maler Show
• 27:56

• 28:00
  Speaker 2: so that.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: Right there, there you go.
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: Thank you for a dog. I would like to thank
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: everyone that made it possible for me to be the
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: top caller. The equipment malfunctioning on a regular basis. I
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: would like to thank that for happening.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: Appreciate that absolutely absolutely.
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: I We'll go to calls at eight seven, seven ninety
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: nine on Fox. That is the call in number eight
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: seven seven nine nine six six three sixty nine, and
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: we say hello now to Enie Meanie, Miney Moe.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: Let's say hello to Andre Andre Andre Andre.
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: Who is hanging out in the Commonwealth with his dog Willis.
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: Hello Andre, Hello, Ben.
• 28:39
  Speaker 6: Good to be with you.
• 28:40
  Speaker 7: And I'm thrilled that Willis was in the cleanup spot four,
• 28:46
  Speaker 7: just out of the metal town. But that doesn't shaze me,
• 28:49
  Speaker 7: you know, batting cleanup, that's quite an achievement in and
• 28:52
  Speaker 7: of itself as a as a top malor caller, I
• 28:56
  Speaker 7: myself have aspirations to get into the top five. But
• 28:59
  Speaker 7: for the time being, the fact that Willis is going
• 29:02
  Speaker 7: to hold that place, it's reassuring to me, you know.
• 29:06
  Speaker 7: And actually he's woken up, so he might be chiming in.
• 29:10
  Speaker 7: He hasn't gotten his snacker room. He's Ben. I have
• 29:12
  Speaker 7: to note this. Listening to the show from the beginning,
• 29:15
  Speaker 7: there was a caller who I believe Loraina wanted to
• 29:18
  Speaker 7: hear early in the first hour hour, you know, who
• 29:21
  Speaker 7: played a little bit of ding Don Dick and wasn't there, okay,
• 29:25
  Speaker 7: And and that didn't make the tech queen happy. So
• 29:27
  Speaker 7: I just want to make a clip. Nobody puts Lorraina
• 29:29
  Speaker 7: in a corner.
• 29:30
  Speaker 6: All right, if you're.
• 29:31
  Speaker 7: Gonna call the show, if they're going the first hour,
• 29:33
  Speaker 7: you're gonna be the number two spot right bet and second,
• 29:35
  Speaker 7: like Mookie bet, you got to get to be on
• 29:37
  Speaker 7: your A game. I didn't like that. I'm not saying
• 29:40
  Speaker 7: anything like that, Okay, but we learned, all right from
• 29:43
  Speaker 7: the Dirty Dancing. Okay, nobody puts Nobody puts Lorraina in
• 29:47
  Speaker 7: the corner.
• 29:48
  Speaker 6: So get it right.
• 29:48
  Speaker 7: Okay, Now, Ben, in this situation we got going on
• 29:51
  Speaker 7: in the NBA with the with the tanking, and all
• 29:53
  Speaker 7: of a sudden Adam Silver swooping in as if he
• 29:56
  Speaker 7: is the late great David Stern. Okay, a little bit
• 29:59
  Speaker 7: too you know, too little, too late, is is what
• 30:02
  Speaker 7: I'm saying. Okay, we need it. You want to you
• 30:04
  Speaker 7: want to address tanking middle of the season, talking about
• 30:06
  Speaker 7: what's gonna happen next season. It doesn't hold water for
• 30:10
  Speaker 7: me because the bigger picture, and you know that this
• 30:13
  Speaker 7: bends the gambling houses, the whales, okay, not not not
• 30:17
  Speaker 7: not the Joe's okay, but but but the Sharks, the sharks,
• 30:20
  Speaker 7: as you will, Okay, they don't like this business. You
• 30:23
  Speaker 7: tadd Jazz sitting Jaron Jackson Junior sitting Lori Market in
• 30:26
  Speaker 7: the fourth quarter, not even trying to hide it. Okay,
• 30:28
  Speaker 7: there's bigger fish here in play, right in terms of
• 30:32
  Speaker 7: this Faustian deal with the gambling houses. So everybody's making money, right,
• 30:37
  Speaker 7: But then the bigger picture for the NBA, I come
• 30:40
  Speaker 7: back to this is integrity of the game. You got
• 30:43
  Speaker 7: the Malie Beasley situation, you got these other players and
• 30:45
  Speaker 7: the prop best and of course you have Daddy Warbucks himself,
• 30:49
  Speaker 7: Steve Bomber. You're surfing the salary cap, all right, So
• 30:52
  Speaker 7: Adam Silver, I like that. You're you know, you got
• 30:54
  Speaker 7: some stuff out there. It's some messaging about how tanking
• 30:56
  Speaker 7: in the future, But for me, it's it's a half
• 30:59
  Speaker 7: measure address the bigger pictures in the room, like David
• 31:02
  Speaker 7: Stern did back in the day. I'm a child of
• 31:05
  Speaker 7: the awesome eighties and the nineties and the Minnesota Timberwolves
• 31:08
  Speaker 7: even thoughts to usurped the salary cap before Kevin Garnett
• 31:11
  Speaker 7: held them Hawt Diage, David's late great David Stern struck
• 31:15
  Speaker 7: down with them with such force you didn't even hear
• 31:17
  Speaker 7: about They haven't heard about it since, Okay, So that
• 31:20
  Speaker 7: that's my issue.
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 31:22
  Speaker 7: It's a half measure and I don't know, frankly, And
• 31:25
  Speaker 7: this is the last point that I got I haven't made
• 31:27
  Speaker 7: a lot of points. I appecially let me cook here
• 31:30
  Speaker 7: in February vacation, not apil. I got it right because
• 31:32
  Speaker 7: I messed it up yesterday. But here's the bottom line.
• 31:34
  Speaker 7: The NBA draft. What seemed that Patrick Human go to
• 31:37
  Speaker 7: based on the.
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: Temperature York Nigger Bockers because the envelope was frozen. The
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: envelope frozen.
• 31:44
  Speaker 7: Yes, But at the end of the day, all these
• 31:46
  Speaker 7: things these teams are doing if it doesn't line up
• 31:48
  Speaker 7: with what the NBA wants. Did Victor Weybnyama to go
• 31:50
  Speaker 7: to Charlotte, that dumpster fire of an organization. No, he
• 31:53
  Speaker 7: went to San Antonio with the legacy, with the tradition
• 31:56
  Speaker 7: to play for Greg Popovich, Lebron James, same thing. He
• 31:58
  Speaker 7: just happens to go to Cleveland instead of not to Denver. Right,
• 32:01
  Speaker 7: So all the NBA, at the end of the day,
• 32:03
  Speaker 7: they're gonna put players and how do you want to
• 32:04
  Speaker 7: say it, but you're gonna put players where they can
• 32:07
  Speaker 7: benefit the league and other teams who lose out you
• 32:09
  Speaker 7: get it back down the road. That's how the draft
• 32:12
  Speaker 7: that's kind of worked out. So all this analytics stuff
• 32:15
  Speaker 7: to fix the tanking and the draft. You're already doing that.
• 32:17
  Speaker 7: By the way, Cooper Flag, what was the percentage of
• 32:19
  Speaker 7: Dallas getting that number one pick? And you jettison Luca,
• 32:23
  Speaker 7: You anger the fan base, and then next thing you know,
• 32:24
  Speaker 7: you're gifting.
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: They think a lot of people it was rigged and
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: all that. I think that was a rig deal. All right,
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: the week, What a great week it's been. So I
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: guess you go back to work on next week, so
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: we won't hear from you for a while.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: Yes, is that it?
• 32:38
  Speaker 7: I'm efforting. I'm efforting. It's been a busy I gotta
• 32:40
  Speaker 7: make nobody puts the rain in the corner. So I
• 32:42
  Speaker 7: got to get my schedule. I gotta get my schedule
• 32:44
  Speaker 7: worked out right.
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: Well, you don't want you to. We don't want you
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: to affect your job from the show. But you're able
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: to say up, maybe take a nap or something. We'd
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: love to hear from you from time to time.
• 32:52
  Speaker 7: I got a power that blind up. I'm keeping my
• 32:54
  Speaker 7: malth On Militia a member intact. Thanks taking the call, Ben.
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: All right, there he goes the great Andre in the Commonwealth,
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: and we'll keep it going on the Colt when you
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: have Mallard of the third degree coming up in a
• 33:05

  Speaker 2: who's into comb Hello James, welcome, you are next up.
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: It is the Ben Mallard Show. Hello James, helloones. A
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: couple things.
• 33:21
  Speaker 6: First off, regarding Lakers racing ticket prices forty percent, that's
• 33:26
  Speaker 6: not gonna be an issue all. It's all as they
• 33:28
  Speaker 6: have like Colorina bobblehead giveaway nights or Ben Mallard bobblehead Nights.
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: Oh I'm pretty shocker because they will not have a
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: Ben Mallard bobblehead night. The Lakers will definitely not have that.
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: But Lorena, it's possible you might be onto something here.
• 33:42
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, because if Dodgers do that.
• 33:45
  Speaker 8: Four ties last year they had a Tony Bubblehead night
• 33:48
  Speaker 8: on Wednesday nights.
• 33:49
  Speaker 6: They got fifty six thousand people on Wednesday night.
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: Well, not only that, but did you see that people
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: were lined up at ten in the morning, James outside
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: Dodger Stadium to wait to get one of those bobbleheads,
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: so they go go sell it on eBay exactly.
• 34:03
  Speaker 6: And the other thing I want to bring up to
• 34:05
  Speaker 6: you is if your favorite sporting team you can watch
• 34:09
  Speaker 6: but it was on tape lay, if you do the results,
• 34:12
  Speaker 6: would you watch it? Because this Sunday, NBC is to
• 34:15
  Speaker 6: get to show the men's.
• 34:17
  Speaker 8: Hockey Gold Gold Mel game live at five am Sunday morning,
• 34:24
  Speaker 8: and I argued, at five am live is much better
• 34:27
  Speaker 8: than five pm tap laid.
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't watch sports. If I know the outcome,
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: I don't see any point in it, I will not
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: watch it. And so yeah, man, I'm not gonna watch.
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: I doubt I'll watch the hockey game because I'm not
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: getting up at that hour. I'm not that invested in it.
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: So I hope the USA wins, but I ain't getting
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: up at five in the morning on uh and I
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: gotta work all night that night Sunday in the money,
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: so I'm not gonna be up. But I do watch
