  Speaker 1: edition of ask ban. How exciting is that? I know?
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: So send those questions in using the hashtag ask ben.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: But our lead this hour is from baseball. Yeah, I'm
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: gonna talk a lot of baseball coming up because we
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: got a calm before the NFL storm of free agency.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: The NBA nobody gives a rats ass about the All
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Star Game. It's All Star Weekend coming up in the NBA,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: so that's a zero. We don't really talk hockey on
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: the show. They're also going on a siesta in hockey.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: So some baseball stuff like spring training is going on.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: No games yet in spring training, but there was a
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: roster move of note. Is my old pal Eddie used
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: to say. So our lead story from Boston. We start
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: in Boston where the Red Sox have made a late addition,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: after spring training has started, they have made their move.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Did you hear the signing? No, you did not hear
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: the signing. We have learned not that far before the show.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: An announcement came down the pike on Wednesday night that
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: the Red Sox have agreed to terms on a multi
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: year contract with cheating astro Alex Bregman. Yep three year
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: deal reported to be one hundred and twenty million dollar contract.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Bregman goes from Houston and now he will head out
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: to fin Way Pac and try to hit the Green
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Monster early and often for a very blah Red Sox
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: team being run like a small market operation there in Boston.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question how excited should the
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Red Sox fan be with the addition of Alex Bregman.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: The cheating, I can't say. I want to see the
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: full word. How about ass one one thousand and two,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: one thousand whole? How about that? There? I said it,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: but I did the break in between. So how excited
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: should Red Sox fans be over the edition of Alex Bregman.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: So I've got pillow, handcuffs and toys r us and
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: we will combine all of these things together and we
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: are going to make a breakaway hammer dunk is what
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: we're going to make. So first of all, my first
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: thought on this, I've got two words to give to
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: my friends who like the Red Sox. Here the level
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: of excitement for the Red Sox edition of Alex Beregman.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Two words luke warm water. Lukewarm's one word, luke warm water.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: That's where I am on this. And you can hold
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: the cake, you can hold the balloons and on the
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: confetti and all that. You have just added one of
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: the most notorious cheats in the history of the game.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: I understand you hired a guy who's dirty and Alex Korra,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: I get it. That's the Red Sox are okay with
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: that they're fine with this, They're perfectly okay having a
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: guy of this kind of integrity on the baseball team,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Alex Bregman. Now Bregman, if you look closely, and we've
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: done this here, and I believe I'm right. I'm almost
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: never wrong about this, we think, and we had to
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: dream about this. So it must be true that he's
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: covered in cooties, that Alex Bregman's covered in cooties, that
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: he wears wherever he goes, the scarlet letter and for
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: the rest of his career, a diminishing career, Alex Bregman,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: wherever he goes. Are they allowed to use trash cans? Now?
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: To bang on trash can? Backe Biden? Can they bring
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: out a whistle whistle? Whistle whistle? Can they do that
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: for the at bats of Alex Bregman at Finway Park?
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: And hey, check him by the buzzer? Bring all that
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: back right now? For the low information fan, we call
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: them dumb dumbs. The low information fans says, Oh see,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: you're wrong, Ben, I actually I got an email from
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: the guy's in Houston. He typical coward, did not say
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: where he's from. I assume he's in Houston based on
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: the level of vitriol that was in the email that
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: I got after this announcement came down that Bregman's going
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: to Boston. You think he'd be upset because Bregman's leaving,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: but instead he wanted to direct his emotion at me.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: So you were wrong. You said no one's gonna pay
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Bregman the big money. You got one hundred and twenty
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: million dollars and you don't know what you're talking about.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: That's what you're doing overnights. So let's address let's address that.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: The HeLa monster in the room. All right, spoiler alert
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: to the person that sent that email and to anyone
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: else that thinks that Alex Bregman just won the lottery.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Guess what you are, the idiot in the room? Okay, Bregman,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: he expected to get twice minimum twice as much money.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: That's number one. He thought he was gonna get around
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: two hundred fifty million dollars. He gets one hundred and twenty.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: But essentially, what this is in baseball lingo, it's a pillow.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: It's a pillow contract, it's a cooling pillow for Alex Bregman.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Now what does that mean? This is actually a term
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: that Scott Boris came up with, who I believe is
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: the agent, the rep for Alex Bregman, and the term
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: pillow contract was created by Bregman or by Begman's agent,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: Scott Boris. But he goes back. There was a player
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: named Adrian Beltrey. You probably on who that is, but
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: he played years ago and he's retired and all that.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: I guess he's in the Hall of Fame. But he
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: was coming off a bad year in Seattle and he
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: went to he signed up and he signed a contract
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: for one year, and he was like the first modern
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: day pillow contract guy with the Red Sox, as I remember.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: But the pillow contract allows the diminishing asset the player,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: in this case Bregman to spend a year at Finnway
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Pac and re establish himself in that pinball machine that
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: is Finway, and then go out and hit the open
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: market and try to get more money. You see, it's
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: not really one hundred and twenty million dollar contract. Bregman
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: has a lot of escape hatches built into the contract.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: We are told that Bregman's essentially a one year contract.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: He can opt out after the twenty twenty five season
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: and again after the twenty twenty six season. And the
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: bigger issue is this is going to absolutely destroy the
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: clubhouse that Alex Kora had such a arousal to bring
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: back one of his fellow cheaters from Houston that he
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: is taking a torpedo to the Red Sox roster. You see,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: they don't need a third baseman in Boston. The Bregman
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: does figure to be the starting third baseman for the
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Red Sox, which means the guy that they gave the
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: forever contract to Rafi Devers, will no longer be the
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: third baseman. So they're gonna it's a trickle down economics,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: so they're gonna move Bregman to third, Devers goes over
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: to first base, or he becomes the designated hitter. Keep track,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: there'll be a quiz on this later. But they already
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: have Tristan Cassis who's at first base, and they have
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Masataka Yoshida as the designated hitter. Now it certainly seems
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: like Yoshida will be the odd man out that they'll
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: trade him, but they could trade Casses. The point is
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: that this is not something that they needed. They needed pitching,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: they didn't need this, and Bregman is a guy who's
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: a star, but he's a following falling star. And again
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: I go back to my hypothesis, you want nothing to
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: do with these guys. Now, I know the Red Sox
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: are already in on it, and they're cool with it.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: And it is interesting to note the three teams that
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: were making offers. The three teams apparently the end for
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Bregman were the Red Sox who hired Alex Cora cheating
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: a hole, the Tigers who have Aj Hinch cheating a
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: hole manager, and the Toronto Blue Jays who signed George
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: Springer a cheating a hole a couple of years back.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: It seems to be a pattern there all right. Now, Secondly,
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: we now shift to spring training in Arizona, where spring
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: training really isn't even underway yet for the Angels, and
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Anthony Rendon is facing a long term absence. He's having
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: hip surgery. Now, the Angels did not rule out Anthony
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Rendon all season, but it sounds like he's going to
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: be gone all season. So the question, as spring training
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: starts one of the biggest contract in the biggest contracts
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: in American sports, Anthony Rendon facing hip surgery, how do
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: you assess this latest development in his story. So I've
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: got on this one. Some major NBA DNA vibes is
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: what I have. Load management, load management, and I give
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Rendon credit. He has been able to bamboozle Major League
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: Baseball and someday there will be an owner in the
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: near future that steps up. So we can't give fully
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: guaranteed contracts because of Anthony Rendon that he will destroy
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: it for everyone else. What an absolute zero. This guy
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: is a qq quiet quitter. He didn't tell anyone officially
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: that he's quit because he still wants to get paid.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: But he's quit. He's just quit quietly. That's what he's done.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: And the thing about where this guy was World Series
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: hero in Washington for ostrich Ants Nationals. He had that natitude.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: He was ready to go there and that was all
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: she wrote. That was it. That was the point of demarcation.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: That's when the story changed. Anthony Rendeau went to the
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: Angel signed a seven year contract for two hundred and
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: forty five million dead Presidents and that was before the
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty season, and he then said I'm done, No Moss,
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: you're gonna pay me and I ain't playing putting on
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: an Angel uniform for Anthony Rendon was a kin to
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: wearing velvet handcuffs if you're familiar with that term. Right,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: he doesn't play for the Angels. It's undesirable for him
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: to play for the Angels. It's unenjoyable because he doesn't
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: really like baseball. It's unfulfilling because he'd rather do anything
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: than go to the ballpark every day. But it does
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: provide financial support and security, and so he's unwilling to
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: leave the contract even though he doesn't want to honor
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: the contract, meaning the integrity of the two hundred forty
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: five million dollar contract it is known as deliberate indifference.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Is the term deliberate indifference? Now the proof is in
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: the pudding. And this stat is the mother of all stats.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: So Ted Williams in World War Two. Ted Williams in
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: World War Two played more games than Anthony Rendon has
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: played during his seven year two hundred forty five million
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: dollar contract. And Ted Williams was in the military fighting
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: the Germans and played more games than Anthony Rendon. The
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: guy at thirty four home runs in twenty nineteen, was
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: big hit guy in the World Series for the Nationals,
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: and in the five seasons since twenty nineteen, he has
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: hit twenty two home runs in five I mean, I
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: can go on and on. I got all kinds of
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: numbers on this. It is fascinating. What a turd this
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: guy is. Now final thought, So as the spring season
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: gets going here, Mookie Bets filled the content machine the
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: other day. Mookie Bets trying to put the kabash on
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: all the noise circling around the Dodgers that they're gonna
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: win one hundred and twenty games this year. That was
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: started by Miguel Rojas. They're gonna win the World Series.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: They're gonna repeat, and the Mookie Bets said, we cannot
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: keep thinking. He said, we cannot keep thinking about being
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: champions again. He said, we have to take care of
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: spring training and then we have to go Game one,
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: and when Game one comes, we gonna you know, we
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: can't keep talking about the World Series. So Dodgers starred
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: Mookie Bets, a two time champion. Thank you, Red Sox.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: Good good move there. So they didn't they didn't want Mookie.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: So Mookie Bets says, the Dodgers cannot keep talking about
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: repeating as the World Series champions. Do you love it
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: or do you hate it? So I'll go first. I'm
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: a talk show host. I hate it. I hate it,
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: and not just because I'm a talk show host. Do
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: I hate it? But the Dodgers have loaded up it is.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: They're ready for a nuclear winter. They've signed all the
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: good players, even players I don't like who are good
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: like Blake's now Bro I ain't playing as I get
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: my I'm risking about live Bro. They even signed him,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: so they are ready to weather the long winding road
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: to get back to the World Series in October. And
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: my theory has always been you need to embrace the hate.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: A lot of Dodger haters out there. It's in vogue
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: to hate the Dodgers. A lot of people don't like
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers because they spend all the money and they
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: got all the players and all that stuff. But the
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: whole one game at a time mindset, well, it certainly
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: might work in the locker room. And it's a good
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: cliche to say to idiots holding microphones. I would argue,
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: you're in show business. There's nothing entertaining about that at
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: all at all. You know who takes it one day
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: at a time. The guy doing construction that's the person
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: that takes it one day at a time. Okay, yeah,
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: that's it, one day at a time. Anthony Rendon though
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: with the Angels, you think he's taking it one day
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: at a time. On the injured list, you know, maybe
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: he is. Maybe he's singing the big pictures. But Mookie bets,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: all right, the mookman, Mookie bets, this is the age
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: old battle. Let me spell this out for you from
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Mookie Bets. This is the age old battle between good
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: and evil. And it's much like professional wrestling. They mastered
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: this years ago. You've got the baby faces and you've
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: got the heels, and the Dodgers right now are the heels,
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: and they're supposed to be the bad guys and all that,
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: and that sells tickets number one, number two. That in
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: friegs fans and drigues of viewers. People are excited about that.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: And the twenty twenty five Dodgers are like a bunch
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: of cyborgs at this point. They are a three headed,
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: fire breathing Dodger dragon and they're fueled by Toys r Us.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: Now they're not a bunch of Toys r Us kids,
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: because that store went out of business. But they have
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: the Layoway, Like all these good players are being paid
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: on layoway, so they don't have to worry about really
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: paying them with their worth until like twenty forty five
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: or twenty fifty or whatever, and by then who cares.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: But for the next few years they are set up
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: and so you're never going to be embraced. You might
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: as well go all in on this. It is the
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: Ben Mahlor Show. If you'd like to be part, every
• 17:45

• 18:21
  Speaker 1: he gave up his number eleven Dodger jersey to a
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: rookie pitcher, Roki Sazaki or Suzuki rather Roki Suzuki for
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: blank again. Miguel Rojas traded his number eleven Dodger jersey
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: to this rookie phenom pitcher for Blank. That is the
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: mallor riddle of the day. The answer, We'll get to it,

• 20:13
  Speaker 1: And now back to the nonsense. Well, it actually makes
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: a lot of sense talked about the baseball signing. The
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: Red Sox have agreed to terms with Alex Bregman, the
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: cheating as one thousand and two one thousand Hole, So
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: mister Hole is now in a Red Sox uniform at
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: least for a year, and then we'll see what happens
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: after that. Red Sox pretty middling off season. But Bregman
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: now arrives in town. I'm sure his carry on will
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: include some buzzers, some trash cans, that kind of thing
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: and whatnot. But let's pay off the Mallard riddle of
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: the day. We'll get back to the calls. Here is
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: the Mallard riddle of the day. Infielder Miguel Rojas, veteran infielder,
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: traded his number eleven Douers Jersey to Rookie Pitcher Rokizaki
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: for blank. That is the question. What is the answer?
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: And let's see does anyone listening in the Mala militia
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: know the answer? We go to the Great Unwashed and
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: let's see page down the complete DVD collection of Sailor
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: Moon from Ferg Dog, big fan of Sailor Moon. You
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: and Ferg Dog would be good friends, you would, Alf
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: the alien Ol Prime says for a sombrero and some
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: decorative plumbing fixtures. The Great Alf Milkman, Mike in Colorado,
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: great support of the show, says, gave him a case
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: of Pokemon cards that would be pretty nice. Who else
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: do we have? Page down? He can't can't read that.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: Who else do we have? The saw Man says, a
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: limited edition Waving Cat. By the way, Alf says he
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: thinks that Bregman's going to play second base. Good luck
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: on that to see that. Yeah. See a Japanese fried
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: chicken guessed by Late Night Truck Test. That's very good, right?
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: Is that really crunchy? Or is that Korean's Korean chicken? Spot? No,
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: I don't think he's Japanese. I think it's Korean fried chickens,
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: the really crunchy stuff, not the Japanese fried chicken. I
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know what that is. Mister nice guy,
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: says a yellow submarine Lego set man, you are, mister
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: nice guy. Lego boss. He must go to like do
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: they still have that Lego store at Disney, like Downtown Disney. Yes,
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: he must go there and like his head must explode
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: with all those Lego structures out in front. He must
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: be like the most mind blowing thing in the world.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: And aren't there people that get paid just to make
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: those things for Lego?
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that'd be a cool job.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: Imagine that, although it gotta be a pain in the ass.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: Art Puffin says Rojas gave his number eleven Jersey to
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: Suzaki for a couple of hookers and cocaine. That that
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: was the answer. Some skittles and a few cans of
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: steel reserve, I guess by King Rory, that's his answer.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: Robin Minnesota says a mister microphone. Yes, Lady Sideburn says
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: a lucky petrified turd A Dodger dog guessed by our
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: buddy Eke and Rosevil Minnesota. Mister Irrigation, the King of
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: Houston says wonder Boy autograph socks guessed by Dante. A
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: lot of interesting answers here. Andy, our buddy from lin O' Lakes,
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: Minnesota's where they make all the butter, says that he
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: traded it for a bowl of Kung pow chicken. That
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: that was the answer Mallard chicken fingers, guess by Joe
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: the Ghost Hunter. What else do we have? Page down?
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: I can't read that on the air. And see, don't worry, Benjamin,
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: I got my Bregman voodoo dollready, says the Mallard burner account.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: I hate to do it, and I got a lot
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: of friends in Boston, but hey, listen, this is bigger
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: than Boston. This is bigger than the Red Sox. This
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: guy Bregman's an a hole. He's a dirty dog, He's
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: a cheater, and I hope he strikes out every time
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: he steps up to the plate. And the other thing
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: about this, I had pay off the answer then I'll
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: length all right, now the answer, Larrada, Do you have
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: an answer? The Mallard Riddle of the day. Dodger veteran
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: infielder Miguel Rojas says he traded his number eleven Jersey
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: to rookie pitcher Roki Suzuki rather for blank for blank.
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: For a stack of poker chips, a trip to Vegas
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: and a white Castle buffet ben Wow.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: Very specific and very wrong, very wrong. The rookie Dodger
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: pitcher Suzuki gave the veteran Dodger infielder Miguel Rojas three
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: bottles of Asaki and a couple of serving glasses. So
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: there you go. Oh you you give some some booze.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: That's it, that's all. Yeah, what a rip up. Didn't
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: remember what Tani bought Joe Kelly like a car? I
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: got an expensive car?
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: Wife? Right? Didn't he buy his wife the car?
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: Was it for Joe Kelly's wife or whatever? But Otani
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: wanted his number with the Dodgers. He gave Joe Kelly
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: a car, like one hundred thousand dollars car, which you
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: know for Tani's nothing. It depends on, you know, his interpreter,
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: how much money he wins on those parlays. Let's go
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: back to the phones and we'll say hello to Kevin,
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: who is in the Commonwealth. Hello, Kevin, welcome, Hey, how
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: you do it?
• 25:12
  Speaker 5: You're you're holding your own with your anger towards the Astros.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: It's a lifetime sentence since Baseball decided not to punish them.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: I am holding on and I am I'm the only one.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: I don't care. I am on the right side of history. Bregman.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: And here's the thing, Kevin didn't the Red Sox fans
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: boom Bregman and Altuve when they came in with the Astros,
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: And now now he's part of your team.
• 25:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we used to throw batteries at him.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: I know what's up with that.
• 25:49
  Speaker 5: No, it's unforgivable. I mean, but here's the other thing.
• 25:56
  Speaker 5: You you've been talking he's going to play second base here.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: Well, they're going to try to have him play second base.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: Whether he can actually play second base is a different
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: conversation just because you try something. The Dodgers played Mookie
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: Bets at shortstop last year and midseason they realized he
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: can't play shortstop, so they got somebody else to play shortstop.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: So you're going to attempt to have Bregman play second base.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: Whether he can actually play second base is something totally different.
• 26:22
  Speaker 6: Right, Well, I mean, Mookie Bets came up as an
• 26:25
  Speaker 6: infielder initially, and you know, every one of these guys
• 26:30
  Speaker 6: was a shortstop back in the day.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: I know they were all the top player in their
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: little league team. They all hit seventeen home runs in
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: the little league and won every game.
• 26:40
  Speaker 5: The best player in your town. All right, I hear no,
• 26:44
  Speaker 5: I I I the Red Sox. I'm what I'm understanding
• 26:50
  Speaker 5: is they paid ten ten million dollars more than the
• 26:54
  Speaker 5: next best offer at this series of effectively one year deals.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, you get when you do. But supposedly, if
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: you believe the rumor mill, the Tigers offered Bregman six
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: year contract worth one hundred and seventy million, but there
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: was some deferred money in that. I guess he wanted
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: to go to Boston instead of Detroit. It's only for
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: one year if he If he plays well, he'll opt out.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: If he sucks, he'll opt in. So the only way
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: he's guaranteed to stay is if he stinks, then you'll
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: get him for another year. Right.
• 27:27
  Speaker 5: Well, here's here's why I think they got him. Evidently,
• 27:30
  Speaker 5: when he played American Legion, he threw a no header,
• 27:34
  Speaker 5: So I'm thinking maybe he can pitch for the Red Sox.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: Great, I know what I've seen. The Red Sox rotation.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: That's a great idea. That is a I hope Alex
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: Korra is up early listening in spring training. You're onto
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: something here, Kevin. You know, if Otani can do it,
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: why not get your money's worth that Bregman pitch every Sunday.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: Sunday can be Bregman day.
• 27:55
  Speaker 5: Damn right, everybody should be pitching.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: Come on, these guys are worses. They should get on
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: the mound, throw the damn ball and at least throw
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: the knuckleball. If you can't throw a fastball, he's throw
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: a knuckleball. Anybody can throw the knuckleball, right, It's easy anybody.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: So you throw like forty miles an hour. Anybody can
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: throw the knuckle ball.
• 28:09
  Speaker 5: By the way, Yeah, if you throw it three quarters
• 28:12
  Speaker 5: or side of them, you get different break on it.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: That's right. Now. Remember I bring this up from time
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: to time. The most dominant pitcher. No one listens to me, Kevin.
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: If you get a guy that can throw in the
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: load to mid nineties, but you master the knuckleball, you
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: get two strikes on the batter and you're throwing the
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: ball forty to forty five miles an hour. You then
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: throw the ball ninety to ninety five miles an hour.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: No one is going to hit that ball. If you
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: can throw it for a strike, you are going to
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: strike out everyone. Everyone. No one does this. Why does
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: no one do this? It's a great idea. I don't know.
• 28:49
  Speaker 7: I play in a men's baseball league, and there's guys
• 28:52
  Speaker 7: that can throw like you know, they're the fastballs are
• 28:56
  Speaker 7: not major league, you know, they're probably topping out in
• 29:01
  Speaker 7: the middle middle eighties.
• 29:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but there's guys that are throwing a sixty five
• 29:05
  Speaker 5: mile an hour knuckleball.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: It's hard to hit exactly. That's what I'm saying. Tell
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: these guys that can throw in the mid eight tell
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: the guys that throw in the mid eighties to master
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: the knuckleball. They'll strike everyone out in your baseball league.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: All right, I gotta go, but thank you, Kevin. Call again.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: This is Kevin the Red Sox fan. Let's say hello

• 29:53
  Speaker 8: and it really made me feel good. You're like the
• 29:56
  Speaker 8: great American Will Rogers. I never picked a fight with

• 30:03
  Speaker 8: That's what I want to call your dad. And to
• 30:05
  Speaker 8: be honest, my father's one hundred years old and he's
• 30:08
  Speaker 8: still living. And I hope you got the same letter.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: Oh that's great. My dad's checked out. Unfortunately he's crossed

  Speaker 1: of the questions.
• 32:45
  Speaker 9: All right, this is a question that we've we've had
• 32:47
  Speaker 9: in the past, but I don't recognize the person that
• 32:51
  Speaker 9: sent this to us, and the name is Freddy RIVERA.
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: Hi, Freddy, is that fast, Freddy, I don't know, is
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: it okay? I don't know.
• 33:00
  Speaker 9: Freddie would like to know instead enjoying the show on
• 33:02
  Speaker 9: vacation at Brisbane, Australia.
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's been sending messages in recently and Freddy, what
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: country would you want to visit?
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: What's your what's your top? What's top on your list?
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: So if this assumes that I don't have to worry
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: about the long trans continental flights, which I don't do
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: well in, I would say New Zealand is at the
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: top and Australia actually where you're at, Freddy, New Zealand,
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: because I for about thirteen fourteen years I went on
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: the radio, added my own little weekly thing on Radio
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: New Zealand every week, which is a lot of fun.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: And I have some friends down there, Darcy Waldergrave who
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: does the afternoon when the afternoon shows whatever. I think
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: he's actually on the mornings now, but radio friends. So
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: I'd like to see that in Australia would be cool.
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: So I guess those are at the top. And I
• 33:45

  Speaker 4: I know what you're talking about, Like the early two thousands.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: Of feet smells so bad back in the day I

  Speaker 1: was a kid. Also, there's a guy named mc hammer
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: and he had these pants that would stretch out. I
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: don't what they called, but that was popular too. Fun yeah, cool.
• 36:09
  Speaker 9: So one that I hated a lot when I was
• 36:12
  Speaker 9: a younger adult slash late team, but I guess I've
• 36:16
  Speaker 9: grown to appreciate it somewhat. I was never a huge
• 36:18
  Speaker 9: fan of the high waisted jeans on women. I just
• 36:22
  Speaker 9: thought it looked like weird that it was just like,
• 36:24
  Speaker 9: I don't know, so like like covering your belly button.
• 36:27
  Speaker 4: It just kind of looked diaperish to me then.
• 36:31
  Speaker 9: But I understand I get the appeal from when you're
• 36:34
  Speaker 9: looking at it, like from the other the other on
• 36:36
  Speaker 9: the other side.
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, from the backside. It gives you there. Don't
• 36:41
  Speaker 4: show too much skin, oh show more skin. Make up
• 36:44
  Speaker 4: your mind.
• 36:45
  Speaker 9: I never said don't show too much skin. I don't
• 36:48
  Speaker 9: think those words have ever left my mouth.
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: Coops. Hero is mister Skin. He loves mister Skin. Does
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: that guy still around, mister Skin?
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: I mean probably, but I don't know why.
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: It seems to go on the Stern Shop before Stern
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: went woke and he highlighted, you'd love this loreto. So
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: this guy's whole bit. He made his money by watching
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: movies back when they were like VHS tapes and writing
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: down the exact time where women were naked in the movies.
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: And he called the mister skin.
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: That's brilliant.
• 37:16
  Speaker 9: Yeah, there was a whole bit on that long one
• 37:17
  Speaker 9: of those like the one of those jet Apato comedies.
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: I can't remember which, one of all the ways to
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: make money? My god, all right, what's next?
• 37:24
  Speaker 4: Allow your passion?
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: Yes the King.
• 37:26
  Speaker 10: Rory, Hi, Rory would like to know, Yes, Rory, And
• 37:30
  Speaker 10: I don't know if any of us are even qualified
• 37:31
  Speaker 10: to answer this, He said, which is worse getting a
• 37:34
  Speaker 10: foot of snow in a twenty four hour period or
• 37:36
  Speaker 10: having sub zero temperatures for three days?
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, I've been in sub zero. I've been in snow,
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: but I don't live in them, so it's probably not
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: right for me to answer that because I stayed in
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: my hotel room. But I I think the worst is
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: that black ice, that ice, because that's where you really
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: get Like the snow stuff's a problem, but the ice
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: is where you really cause accidents. And it's a nightmare
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: like where it's like half rain half snow kind of thing.
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: That's a nightmare situation. I think anybody, anybody Newman.
• 38:08
  Speaker 9: I'm gonna say that the foot of snow in a
• 38:11
  Speaker 9: twenty four hour period is probably worse.
• 38:13
  Speaker 4: It probably causes more.
• 38:15
  Speaker 9: Uh you know what's the word that I'm looking for
• 38:20
  Speaker 9: logistics issues?
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: Well, you can plow the snow. I did you see
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: speaking of snow as somebody sent me a video our
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: old friend Genie and Medford there was a gymnasium, a
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: high school gymnasium collapsed from all the snow they got
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: in Medford.
• 38:32
  Speaker 8: Or oh wow, no snow in last weekend or so
• 38:35
  Speaker 8: two weekends ago.
• 38:35
  Speaker 4: But it wasn't it wasn't much.
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: What's next to ask? Ben? Your questions are answers for
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: the rest of the hour. Uh.
