0:17
Speaker 1: the Calves were body slammed late the other night against
0:20
Speaker 1: the Knickerbockers, and yet again the coach repeating the same mantra,
0:24
Speaker 1: What is Cavs coach Kenny Atkinson really saying with his
0:28
Speaker 1: continued defense of James Harden's defense even though everyone saw
0:34
Speaker 1: James Harden get absolutely smoked, absolutely smoked in that game
0:40
Speaker 1: the other day. Also, what going to baseball? What is
0:43
Speaker 1: the word?
0:44
Speaker 2: What is the word?
0:45
Speaker 1: For Cubs outfielder Pete crow Armstrong in his twenty twenty
0:48
Speaker 1: six season, he gave up a little league home run
0:51
Speaker 1: in the game last night at Wrigley Field, back to
0:54
Speaker 1: back days with errors. He's not hitting. Other than that,
0:57
Speaker 1: everything's going really, really well. Also, where does your attention go?
1:01
Speaker 1: First on the news that the Cardinals are creating a
1:05
Speaker 1: quote high energy fan section after the shirts off success,
1:11
Speaker 1: and that's been the big thing this week in baseball.
1:14
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that and also ask Ben buckle up, Buckaroo,
1:20
Speaker 1: is we walk on water unless we don't. It's our
1:23
Speaker 1: number three, the blocking full back of basketball. There's no
1:33
Speaker 1: full back in basketball. What are you talking about? Welcome
1:38
Speaker 1: in the beginning of another hour of the Ben Malor Show.
1:43
Speaker 2: We are in the air of rewear.
1:47
Speaker 1: Using our outside voice inside in combination with layers and
1:54
Speaker 1: layers of decadence coast the coast, border to border beyond
2:00
Speaker 1: on the vast and immensely powerful microphones of FSR, You

3:40
Speaker 1: So I leave this hour from Cleveland, and I know
3:45
Speaker 1: they're back at it. Here in the NBA, we had
3:48
Speaker 1: the Western Finals tied up at one point one as
3:50
Speaker 1: Oklahoma City won in a game that didn't have any
3:54
Speaker 1: real dramatic moments late in the game. We didn't get
3:57
Speaker 1: that in that particular game. And so the East continues tonight.
4:03
Speaker 1: Tonight Cleveland and the New York Knickerbockers.
4:07
Speaker 2: And you're saying, well, what about the gambling line on that?
4:09
Speaker 2: I said, okay, we'll look.
4:11
Speaker 1: So the New York Knicks opened a six point favorite
4:15
Speaker 1: in that game. They are currently favored by six and
4:17
Speaker 1: a half. So the Knicks are a six and a
4:20
Speaker 1: half point favorite in that game. So we'll see if
4:23
Speaker 1: that holds up or not. But the reason I bring
4:26
Speaker 1: this up so the Cavs coach Kenny Atkinson, who really
4:29
Speaker 1: annoyed me, really annoyed me the other day. I was like,
4:33
Speaker 1: this guy, What a schmuck this guy is? He just
4:36
Speaker 1: everyone saw James Harden, what happened to him?
4:38
Speaker 2: And just admit it.
4:40
Speaker 1: James Harden's a thirty six year old grown ass man.
4:43
Speaker 1: Just say he had a bad day.
4:44
Speaker 2: That's it. They wouldn't do that.
4:46
Speaker 1: And Atkinson yet again like a blocking full back trying
4:50
Speaker 1: to clear the lane for James Harden and his defensive
4:55
Speaker 1: fiasco in Game one at the Garden. He was the
5:00
Speaker 1: at the Garden party in the Eastern Conference Final. Now,
5:04
Speaker 1: Kenny Atkinson says he was more concerned this is the
5:07
Speaker 1: day after, more concerned about the Cavs back line defense
5:10
Speaker 1: rather than the perimeter defense with players like James Harden.
5:15
Speaker 1: Atkinson said, quote, that's the NBA. He said one thing
5:19
Speaker 1: about James, I'll just defend him. Quote continues, he's a
5:24
Speaker 1: good isolation defender. That's a lie, always has been.
5:29
Speaker 2: That's a lie.
5:31
Speaker 1: He's super smart, another lie, he's got great hands.
5:35
Speaker 2: Keep lying.
5:36
Speaker 1: I was kind, Atkinson said, I was kind of a
5:38
Speaker 1: little more upset with our back line defense. The Cadavers
5:42
Speaker 1: coach said, at this level, it's team defense. Are we
5:46
Speaker 1: helping sending them in the right direction? I know everybody's
5:52
Speaker 1: putting it on James, but that means that's a lie.
5:57
Speaker 1: I'd say a lot of it is on the team,
6:00
Speaker 1: our team defense. Some of it was him only some
6:04
Speaker 1: of it. There were a couple of blowbys, but another
6:08
Speaker 1: butt but but but but but but but but but
6:12
Speaker 1: but but but but I'd argue it was on the
6:15
Speaker 1: team defense. To close quote from Kenny Atkinson, soon to
6:18
Speaker 1: be former coach of Cleveland, if this thing doesn't turn
6:20
Speaker 1: around soon.
6:22
Speaker 2: So that is a good jumping off point. Let us
6:24
Speaker 2: discuss you and I together here.
6:26
Speaker 1: Question what is Cavs coach Kenny Atkinson really saying with
6:32
Speaker 1: his continued passionate defense for the malpractice that James Harden
6:38
Speaker 1: put out on the court defensively. So my thoughts on this,
6:43
Speaker 1: I've got check the water quantum leap and miss Shakito,
6:50
Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together and
6:54
Speaker 1: we are going to make a delicious pastrami sandwich with
6:58
Speaker 1: the bell pepper, the onion, the whole thing.
7:01
Speaker 2: All right.
7:01
Speaker 1: So, first of all, Kenny Atkinson talks like a man
7:05
Speaker 1: who breaks out in hives.
7:08
Speaker 2: If he even whispers the words James Harden struggled. Oh
7:14
Speaker 2: my god, you can't say that. Ah. He's treating James
7:18
Speaker 2: Harden like he's royalty. And is it true? Maybe it is.
7:23
Speaker 1: I don't recall when did James Harden become royalty. Everyone
7:27
Speaker 1: else gets public criticism for the most part, Harden gets
7:31
Speaker 1: diplomatic immunity. Why when Kenny Atkinson preaches team defense, he
7:39
Speaker 1: gives that sermon, it's like a sermon in.
7:42
Speaker 2: Church about the defense and all that.
7:45
Speaker 1: It's really a witness protection program for James Harden, a
7:50
Speaker 1: linguistic cafe, if you will, a safe house where the
7:55
Speaker 1: truth goes to hide. And it's pure coaching. I call
7:59
Speaker 1: it stock Home syndrome coaching Stockholm syndrome. Like Atkinson, I know,
8:04
Speaker 1: some of this is just you have to do. He
8:06
Speaker 1: feels like he has to do it because these guys
8:07
Speaker 1: are so soft that you just have to do it.
8:09
Speaker 1: But Atkinson is blindly defending the exact guy who is
8:15
Speaker 1: going to get him fired if this continues like hijack
8:19
Speaker 1: the game, commandeered the vomit comment. You're up twenty points
8:23
Speaker 1: plus on the road. There's less than eight minutes to
8:27
Speaker 1: go in the game. You win that nine hundred and
8:30
Speaker 1: ninety nine out of a thousand times, and the only
8:32
Speaker 1: way you lose it is if you had happen. What happens,
8:36
Speaker 1: So you check the water here and when Kenny says
8:39
Speaker 1: team defense Kenny Atkinson, the coach of the Cavaliers, he
8:42
Speaker 1: actually means James Harden got cooked like a Times Square
8:47
Speaker 1: dirty water dog.
8:50
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. You ever had those hot
8:51
Speaker 2: dogs in New York? The dirty water dog.
8:53
Speaker 1: Harden wasn't defending anyone out there. He was providing roadside assistance.
8:59
Speaker 1: He should have been dry having a tow truck. The
9:01
Speaker 1: man was playing defense like an orange traffic cone and
9:05
Speaker 1: a flair, a flair actually one of those, you know
9:10
Speaker 1: that would have actually been better. So Harden was single
9:12
Speaker 1: handedly boosting the New York basketball economy. Every single time
9:19
Speaker 1: Jalen Brunson saw him in a switch and sometimes they
9:24
Speaker 1: didn't have to do the switch. Brunson shot sixty four
9:29
Speaker 1: percent when he was going against James Harden. Against every
9:33
Speaker 1: other Cleveland defensive player, he shot less than forty five percent.
9:38
Speaker 1: So James Harden was so bad.
9:40
Speaker 2: How bad was he?
9:41
Speaker 1: He was face for asking he was so bad that
9:45
Speaker 1: Jalen Brunson shot twenty percent.
9:47
Speaker 2: Better use it.
9:49
Speaker 1: Sixty four percent shooting in an Eastern Conference finals game,
9:53
Speaker 1: and the coach is like, well, it's really team defense.
9:57
Speaker 2: You know, he's given us the rasmataz on it. Well, no,
9:59
Speaker 2: it's not.
10:01
Speaker 1: That's not advanced analytics. That is a confessional when you
10:06
Speaker 1: give the numbers here and at this rate, a few
10:09
Speaker 1: more games of Jalen Brunson playing against James Harden, and
10:14
Speaker 1: he's going to zoom past Pat trick Ewing as the
10:21
Speaker 1: greatest nick.
10:22
Speaker 2: Since the nineteen eighties.
10:24
Speaker 1: I know some guys before that, Walt Fraser and other players,
10:26
Speaker 1: but in nick lore, simply by just going against the
10:30
Speaker 1: guy wearing the number one jersey there James Harden. And
10:32
Speaker 1: yet Atkinson continues to hide Harden behind phrases like collective effort,
10:38
Speaker 1: team defense. It's like he's a mob lawyer and he's
10:42
Speaker 1: hiding his clients behind heavy curtains. Okay, now, secondly talking
10:48
Speaker 1: Beyz mall, oh yeah, our guy, yourphome in Chicago, tree
10:53
Speaker 1: in Chicago.
10:54
Speaker 2: They're not gonna like this.
10:56
Speaker 1: The Cubs have some issues here, mainly outfielder Pete Armstrong.
11:00
Speaker 2: This week the Brewers zoom.
11:02
Speaker 1: Past them in the National League Central Division. I know
11:05
Speaker 1: it's only May. We do the show today. So the
11:08
Speaker 1: big revelation of Cub Nation was Pete crow Armstrong. Last
11:13
Speaker 1: year he made the National League All Star Team. And
11:16
Speaker 1: that's about when that story took a turn.
11:19
Speaker 2: It took a turn.
11:19
Speaker 1: It's not gone well and it continues to go bad.
11:22
Speaker 1: His cringe worthy twenty twenty sixth season. If you saw
11:26
Speaker 1: the highlights or heard about the highlights from baseball on Wednesday,
11:30
Speaker 1: Pete crow Armstrong playing center field at Wrigley Field, and
11:33
Speaker 1: he made the kind of an error that you would
11:37
Speaker 1: see on a Saturday morning having a cup of coffee
11:41
Speaker 1: at a Pony League game.
11:43
Speaker 2: It was blooper real quality, and.
11:47
Speaker 1: Everyone who saw it, whether you saw it on the
11:49
Speaker 1: interweb or heard about it on the radio or we're
11:52
Speaker 1: at the game at Wrigley Field, were stunned. The Brewers
11:57
Speaker 1: celebrated like they had just found hidden pirate treasure. So
12:02
Speaker 1: it's the top of the second inning. Former Red Sox
12:06
Speaker 1: David Hamilton ripped a routine single to center field, or
12:11
Speaker 1: so he thought it was a routine single to center field.
12:14
Speaker 1: And then Pete crow Armstrong said, wait a minute, I
12:17
Speaker 1: need to help out the Milwaukee baseball team. And he
12:20
Speaker 1: botched it. He didn't just botch it. The ball scooted
12:23
Speaker 1: past him and kept rolling and rolling and rolling and rolling.
12:28
Speaker 1: And Hamilton one of the fastest players in baseball. He
12:31
Speaker 1: runs like a thoroughbred on cocaine. And he didn't hesitate
12:36
Speaker 1: and put the pedal to the medal and galloped around
12:40
Speaker 1: the bases, just galloped around the bases.
12:42
Speaker 2: And as the ball rolled, rolling, rolling roland.
12:46
Speaker 1: Through centerfield, not one but two Brewers, runners Sal Frelick
12:50
Speaker 1: and Joey Ortiz, they crossed home plate. Hamilton, seeing all
12:56
Speaker 1: of this chaos because of the defensive snafoo. Once he
13:00
Speaker 1: turned it on, I mentioned, he ran like it was
13:02
Speaker 1: like a third bed. He never stopped running and he
13:05
Speaker 1: ended up sliding home for the three run play. Now
13:10
Speaker 1: officially it was a single with three extra basis courtesy
13:13
Speaker 1: of PCA the social media crowd. It was a classic
13:18
Speaker 1: Little League home run. You combine that with another air
13:21
Speaker 1: the other night, he also had the famous meltdown where
13:23
Speaker 1: he gave very specific advice to a Chicago White Socks
13:27
Speaker 1: fan on what she could do to him. So it's
13:29
Speaker 1: a package, heel. So the question, we love words, What
13:33
Speaker 1: is the word? What is the word? For Cubs outfiether
13:37
Speaker 1: Pete crow Armstrong's twenty twenty six season as we sit
13:42
Speaker 1: here in late May at Wrigley Field. So my word
13:47
Speaker 1: is the K word. Kaleidoscope. That's my word, kaleidoscope, because
13:53
Speaker 1: Pete crow Armstrong has been like a kaleidoscope. You spin
13:57
Speaker 1: it once, you get a little promise. Cubs got that
14:01
Speaker 1: last year, you got an All Star. You spin it again,
14:04
Speaker 1: you get chaos, pretty colors, no pictures. The Cubs prematurely
14:10
Speaker 1: forked over a six year, one hundred and fifteen million
14:14
Speaker 1: dollar contract in spring training, and immediately this has now
14:18
Speaker 1: become a absolute boone doggle. It's aging like nice milk
14:26
Speaker 1: in the bleachers at Wrigley Field. PCA underwent a quantum
14:30
Speaker 1: leap right around the twenty twenty five All Star Game.
14:34
Speaker 1: He was the Golden boy of Chicago's North Side, and
14:40
Speaker 1: somewhere around August first, he decided.
14:44
Speaker 2: You know what I'm gonna do.
14:45
Speaker 1: I'm gonna become a goblin, and he activated goblin mode,
14:50
Speaker 1: and there seems to be no.
14:51
Speaker 2: Way out of it. He was a rock star.
14:53
Speaker 1: This guy was going to black Hawk games and Bulls
14:55
Speaker 1: games and Bears games and hanging out with all the
14:58
Speaker 1: other hierarchy Chicago sports. Pete crow Armstrong a rock star
15:03
Speaker 1: and for half a season and then the contract this year,
15:07
Speaker 1: but he was exposed now for lip syncing. He's a lipsacker.
15:11
Speaker 1: How bad? So I knew he had been bad last year.
15:14
Speaker 1: We had talked about it in previous episodes of the show.
15:16
Speaker 1: So one back, I looked at my notes. If you
15:19
Speaker 1: go back the last one hundred and one games, is
15:22
Speaker 1: that a good sample size to August?
15:23
Speaker 2: I think it was late early August or late July
15:26
Speaker 2: of last year.
15:27
Speaker 1: Last one hundred and one games for Pete crow Armstrong,
15:30
Speaker 1: he is batting two oh seven with an atrocious five
15:34
Speaker 1: to ninety seven ops. That is a triple B on
15:37
Speaker 1: the report card. Triple B for PCA. That's befuddled, bewildered,
15:42
Speaker 1: and bewitched. As the late Great Brian Wheeler would say,
15:44
Speaker 1: boomshaka laka. The confidence and the goodwill are free falling.
15:51
Speaker 2: They are plumbing down, down, down, down, down down down.
15:56
Speaker 2: You say, it's not just two muths.
15:58
Speaker 1: This goes back to last year, and it's in other example,
16:00
Speaker 1: try not to let your mouth right checks your bat
16:03
Speaker 1: cannot cash. And Pete Crow Armstrong's dealing with that right now.
16:06
Speaker 1: And the Cubs expected, they were misguided. They were smelling
16:10
Speaker 1: the roses. They expected a franchise cornerstone and instead at
16:14
Speaker 1: this point, PCA is a decorative brick.
16:18
Speaker 2: Is essentially what he is. That's it.
16:20
Speaker 1: And then the season is a choose your own adventure
16:25
Speaker 1: book for PCA where every single page ends with an error.
16:32
Speaker 2: That's it all right now, final thought. We stay in
16:33
Speaker 2: the Midwest. We go to Saint Louis.
16:36
Speaker 1: Follow up, follow up to the fan Movement of the
16:39
Speaker 1: Week follow up follow up, The Cardinals have announced they've
16:44
Speaker 1: created what they're calling a high energy fan section. What
16:48
Speaker 1: the f is that it's giving me the right field
16:50
Speaker 1: bleachers at Bush Stadium. It is inspired by the shirtless
16:57
Speaker 1: throng of young men that overtook Bush Stadium the other
17:01
Speaker 1: night and has spawned the tarps off trend around baseball.
17:06
Speaker 2: Quartes it's fad, not a trend, it's fad.
17:08
Speaker 1: And we've had fan bases in Anaheim, Tampa, Detroit, Philadelphia
17:13
Speaker 1: and elsewhere who have tried to join in the fund.
17:15
Speaker 1: So the Cardinals asked, they say, you want to join
17:17
Speaker 1: the movement? So starting this actually started last night. The
17:20
Speaker 1: upper right field bleachers at Bush Stadium became a quote
17:25
Speaker 1: dedicated high energy fan section inspired by the tarps off
17:30
Speaker 1: atmosphere that they had at the ballpark. So any fans
17:34
Speaker 1: in the ballpark, they say, regardless of seat location, can
17:38
Speaker 1: join the fun. Shirts are optional. Yeah, all right, question
17:44
Speaker 1: where does your attention go? First on the Cardinals creating
17:48
Speaker 1: a high energy fan section.
17:52
Speaker 2: So my focus, my first thing, I go straight.
17:55
Speaker 1: To the marketing department of the Redbirds because they're the
17:59
Speaker 1: only ones who think you can schedule a spontaneous event
18:06
Speaker 1: like spoiler alert.
18:07
Speaker 2: Spoiler alert. You can't do it. You can't do that.
18:10
Speaker 1: The Redbirds are trying so hard to be cool, and
18:13
Speaker 1: this isn't the age old problem with baseball is that
18:15
Speaker 1: we want to be cool. Well, you can be cool,
18:18
Speaker 1: you can't force coolness.
18:20
Speaker 2: Cannot do it. Can't do it, not gonna work.
18:23
Speaker 1: So the Redbirds are trying to be cool and they're
18:25
Speaker 1: sweating through their own branding. This is not a support section.
18:32
Speaker 1: It's a corporate cry for help by the multi billion
18:36
Speaker 1: dollar Saint Louis Cardinals. The beauty of the original grassroots
18:42
Speaker 1: movement was that it was accidental.
18:45
Speaker 2: As far as we know that this was not some
18:47
Speaker 2: kind of planned event.
18:49
Speaker 1: The overlords of baseball did not plan this out, and
18:52
Speaker 1: Baseball's tried to do some of those things, but this
18:55
Speaker 1: did not all of a sudden, happened out of the blue,
18:57
Speaker 1: at least as far as I know. And so again
19:01
Speaker 1: the beauty of that was it was accidental.
19:04
Speaker 2: Steven F.
19:05
Speaker 1: Austin's baseball team did it naturally. Just a group of buddies.
19:10
Speaker 1: That's the other thing. These guys are friends, right, They're
19:11
Speaker 1: on the team and all that stuff, So they're buddies.
19:13
Speaker 2: They were at the game. The Cardinals.
19:18
Speaker 1: They're doing this with like a PowerPoint deck and a
19:21
Speaker 1: bunch of laminated instruction cards, is what they're doing. And
19:25
Speaker 1: by the way, you can't sell forty eight dollars T shirts.
19:29
Speaker 2: This is a hot take. Nobody else has this take.
19:32
Speaker 1: You cannot sell forty eight dollars T shirts to people
19:35
Speaker 1: who've decided shirts are optional. And this also is another
19:40
Speaker 1: play towards the Savannah Bananas.
19:43
Speaker 2: Like if they want to go that direction, they might
19:46
Speaker 2: as well bring.
19:47

20:01
Speaker 1: And that's why it's called organic, right. It's not Hey,
20:05
Speaker 1: come join the Cardinals presented by Anheuser Busch or Edward
20:09
Speaker 1: Jones or whatever. This isn't culture. It's choreography with sponsorship
20:16
Speaker 1: opportunities and all that. And you can't force the fun
20:18
Speaker 1: and it's only limited because you can't do it when
20:21
Speaker 1: it gets cold late in the season. Not that the
20:23
Speaker 1: Cardinals are likely to make the playoffs, you can't. You

Speaker 1: the road. That is, when the rubber meets the road.
28:09
Speaker 1: All right, enough of that again.
28:11
Speaker 2: The riddle of the day.
28:12
Speaker 1: Here it is Red's manager Terry Francono's managed the Phillies
28:15
Speaker 1: and the Old Cleveland Indians. He says he wears blank
28:19
Speaker 1: when watching baseball games on TV.
28:23
Speaker 2: Tow socks to socks? Is that correct? So they says,
28:28
Speaker 2: done it? You're so close.
28:30
Speaker 1: Terry Francona says that he wears a cup even when
28:33
Speaker 1: watching baseball on Team never.
28:35
Speaker 2: Beats safe enough.
28:36
Speaker 1: This after one of the Reds pitchers got hit in
28:39
Speaker 1: near the nether Regions, and I flashed back because when
28:43
Speaker 1: I was on the Baseball Beat back many many years ago,
28:46
Speaker 1: one of the funniest I had a lot of funny
28:48
Speaker 1: moments in locker rooms. One of the funniest moments there
28:51
Speaker 1: was this guy named Jim Fergosi. I think he's dead now,
28:54
Speaker 1: but Jim was a manager of the Philadelphia Phillies and
29:00
Speaker 1: we're playing the Dodgers. It was the middle of the week,
29:03
Speaker 1: and I still remember the player. So this guy was
29:06
Speaker 1: playing third base for the Phillies. His name was kim Batiste.
29:09
Speaker 1: Not a very good player.
29:10
Speaker 2: It's kind of an average player or whatever, and didn't
29:13
Speaker 2: last that long. But kim Batisz was on third base.
29:16
Speaker 1: There was a line drive that hit him right in
29:20
Speaker 1: the sausage, like right there, right the twigg and berries.
29:23
Speaker 2: Boom kaboom, you know. And so after the game we were.
29:28
Speaker 1: Getting some audio and I'm in the manager's room in
29:31
Speaker 1: the visiting clubhouse there at Dodger Stadium, which was the
29:34
Speaker 1: old original visiting clubhouse, not like the bougie clubhouse they
29:37
Speaker 1: have now for the spoiled brats. So it was a
29:39
Speaker 1: piece of crap. So we're in there and one of
29:42
Speaker 1: the beat writers from Phillies like, hey, Jim Howe's batiste
29:46
Speaker 1: doing you know? And Jim Fragosi. I laughed my ass
29:50
Speaker 1: off all the way home. Jim Fragosi paused for a second.
29:52
Speaker 1: He was looking down at his desk. He looked up
29:55
Speaker 1: to the to the writer, and I was next to
29:58
Speaker 1: the writer. He looked up at us. He said, well,
30:01
Speaker 1: he got hit in the nuts and he wasn't wearing
30:03
Speaker 1: a cup. How do you think he's doing?
30:11
Speaker 2: It was so great? I understand.
30:13
Speaker 5: I kind of like that, you know, because he's like,
30:16
Speaker 5: I got to wear the cup. Anyways, imagine you have PTSD.
30:18
Speaker 5: Every time you see that, you go, oh, like it's
30:21
Speaker 5: you know, like you feel it.
30:23
Speaker 1: I bet yeah, yeah, And that you know, you get
30:26
Speaker 1: hit there that you can be out for a while,
30:28
Speaker 1: and that can affect your ability to pro create another
30:31
Speaker 1: human being.
30:32
Speaker 6: That doesn't it make you like nauseous when you get
30:34
Speaker 6: hit there?
30:36
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not not great. What's the female equivalent of that?
30:40
Speaker 2: I guess, well, I don't know.
30:40
Speaker 3: I don't know.
30:42
Speaker 2: I think you know that area. It depends, you know,
30:45
Speaker 2: direct hit. It's pretty hard.
30:47
Speaker 6: It takes you know, it's it's meant never mind.
30:50
Speaker 1: Okay, all right or okay, all right, let's take some calls.
30:55
Speaker 1: Let's say all any meeni money mall. Let's go to Chance,
30:58
Speaker 1: who's in alabam? A Hello Chance, Welcome? You were on
31:02
Speaker 1: the Ben Mathers Show. We have asked Ben coming up
31:04
Speaker 1: in a little bit. Hello, Chance in Alabama?
31:06
Speaker 7: Welcome, buddy, Hey, roll tid how you doing theiver.
31:12
Speaker 2: Roll time?
31:12
Speaker 7: That's I guess i'd wear a cup too. It's kind
31:16
Speaker 7: of like being in a car accident and not wearing a seatbelt.
31:18
Speaker 7: You're gonna wear your seatbelt after that, you know what
31:20
Speaker 7: I mean? You get pluy yeah.
31:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, well yeah yeah.
31:23
Speaker 1: It's like if you ever got a speeding ticket, then
31:25
Speaker 1: you drive the speed limit for the next two days,
31:27
Speaker 1: and then after that you start speeding again.
31:28
Speaker 2: Same thing, you know, exactly exactly.
31:32
Speaker 7: I'm kind of due to the show. I have Aaron
31:35
Speaker 7: Rodgers take. But I was wondering what the golden ticket is.
31:38
Speaker 7: But I'm but I'll give you my Aaron Rodgers take.
31:41
Speaker 7: He's retiring, right. I think he's the best thrower of
31:45
Speaker 7: the football I've ever seen, just you know, peer throwing
31:50
Speaker 7: it when it's all said and done. As great as
31:54
Speaker 7: he is, don't you think it's kind of disappointing that
31:58
Speaker 7: he only got one Super Bowl. He's won four NFC
32:01
Speaker 7: Championship games. He has a twelve and eleven playoff record.
32:06
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, yes, y yes the answer. Yes.
32:08
Speaker 1: They the Packers. It seemed like every year they were
32:11
Speaker 1: the number one or number two seed. When he was
32:13
Speaker 1: in Green Bay, they were always at a high seed.
32:15
Speaker 1: They had home field advantage, and everyone used to say, oh, no,
32:18
Speaker 1: one can go into lambeau Field and beat the Packers.
32:21
Speaker 1: And it seemed like every other year somebody went into
32:23
Speaker 1: lambeau Field and beat the Packers.
32:25
Speaker 2: And it even.
32:26
Speaker 1: Predated it predated Rogers because Brett Farv was the same way.
32:29
Speaker 2: Farv was a great player, and they only won one
32:32
Speaker 2: with Brett Farv, and he was wonderful too. For the Packer,
32:35
Speaker 2: they had.
32:35
Speaker 1: Like thirty years of great quarterback play and they won
32:38
Speaker 1: two Super Bowls despite having for most of that time
32:41
Speaker 1: top teams.
32:42
Speaker 2: In the league.
32:43
Speaker 1: And as far as the Golden Ticket, it's something that
32:47
Speaker 1: Danny g came up with years ago for the show,
32:49
Speaker 1: and it's essentially, if you win a golden ticket, the
32:52
Speaker 1: next time you call, you get to the very frontal
32:54
Speaker 1: line and you don't have to wait as long and
32:56
Speaker 1: you get on the air right away because you got
32:58
Speaker 1: a golden.
32:59
Speaker 6: Ticket and you get it from playing all of our
33:01
Speaker 6: game shows during the week.
33:02
Speaker 2: Yeah, I usually from the game show.
33:04
Speaker 1: Sometimes I'll just give him out because I feel good,
33:05
Speaker 1: you know, I'll just give him out, and I don't
33:07
Speaker 1: normally do that. Sometimes I will uh for for parties
33:10
Speaker 1: and birthdays, and I'll give that out too. So that's
33:14
Speaker 1: what I'm glad you found the showow chance, You're very
33:16
Speaker 1: You're you're very motivated to be part of it.
33:18
Speaker 2: I love that.
33:20
Speaker 1: And and you actually talk about sports, which is very
33:23
Speaker 1: odd because that doesn't normally happen on this show.
33:26
Speaker 2: It's very bizarre. Let's go down to Miami, Miami, Miami, Miami.
33:30
Speaker 2: Let's say hello to d Block, who's in Miami. Hello,

34:16
Speaker 1: Another eight games over five hundred or whatever, but they're
34:19
Speaker 1: settling in the mediocrity here. And I'm glad you brought
34:21
Speaker 1: up that cheating a one one thousand and two, one
34:25
Speaker 1: thousand hole. Alex Bregman, who is the player we hoped
34:29
Speaker 1: he would be. He has four home runs, Alex Bregman.
34:35
Speaker 1: Didn't you bring him to Chicago?
34:36
Speaker 2: Hit home runs? Wasn't that the whole point? The cheating astro?
34:39
Speaker 1: Four home runs this year, he's not in the top
34:43
Speaker 1: one hundred. I think he's not even in the top
34:45
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty in baseball and home runs. He's
34:47
Speaker 1: not hitting for average, he's not driving in runs.
34:50
Speaker 2: What is he doing? Seriously, what is he doing?
34:53
Speaker 1: Alex Bregman is on paced hit thirteen home runs that
34:58
Speaker 1: Cheating a Hole thirteen for the Cubbs.
35:02
Speaker 2: So it's a mess. It's a mess.
35:04
