  Speaker 1: you are a fan of men's college basketball, da da
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: da da da da da da good by, season's off
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: stun stigaforek and it ended leave this hour from the Alamo.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: I assume you watch this game, maybe not the curtain
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: coming down on another season there in San Antonio, and
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: it was not nut cutting time, it was net cutting time.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Well it was actually nut cutting time and didn't work
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: out well for one of the schools involved in this.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: So if you didn't see it, it came down to
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: the bitter end, Florida's Walter Clayton junior rising from the
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: ashes a scoreless first half, put up the old goosegg
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: in the first half, and Florida overcoming a deficit there
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: against Houston, and they win by the hair on their
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: chinny chin chin as they get a sixty five sixty
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: three win in the NCAA Men's title game, decided by Clayton,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: who did not make a basket in the first half,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: but he was being credited with a defensive play there
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: at the end, stopping what would have been a game
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: winning attempt. They didn't even get shot off Houston, and
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: so down goes Houston and Clayton finished with only eleven points.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: He was just three of ten shooting from the floor
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: for Florida, but it did not matter. And that defensive
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: play is what you'll likely remember if you remember this
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: game at all. And if you remember this game, you
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: likely either went to the University of Florida or have
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: a relative that went to the University of Florida, you
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: live in Florida. Other than that, probably not, Probably not.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: And Clayton the most outstanding player the NCAA tournament, most
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: outstanding player, so he picks up the hardware. Congratulations to Florida.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: They win another national championship, first time, just the Billy
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Donovan days, long long ago, and they will be serenaded
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: and have their ass kissed. Congratulations on that. They can
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: do the gator trump. I saw him. They were doing
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: the gator trump. I have seen the gator chomps since
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: what like Tim Tebow's days, It seemed like been a while.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: So they were doing the gator chop. They had the
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: orange and the blue confetti coming down there and celebration, celebrate,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: But for our purposes, you know where I'm going with this. Yeah,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: the better story is in the losing locker room, and
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: so that is where we were going to focus our
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: attention here, and let us discuss the question for the
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: esteem panel, which you are part of. How much of
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: this loss falls on the shoulders of Houston coach Kelvin Sampson.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: That was one of the storylines coming in the grizzle,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: the lifetime basketball coach, he'd seen and done everything, and
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: this was his moment to win the championship, Calvin Sampson
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: and run off into the sunset and celebrate. So instead
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: of that, how much of the loss falls on his shoulders?
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: So I've got Brett Michaels, Shakespearean and Duffel bag and
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: we will combine all of these things together and we
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: will go on the power play, power play, power because
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: it did seem like the Florida Gators when they put
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: on the after burners, they were on the power play.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: But that is not that is not the question. The
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: question was how much of this lost falls on the
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: shoulders of Kelvin Sampson and the entire game, it looked
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: like we could start the show by saying the Cougars
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: are coming. The cougars are coming, right, that famous Fox
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Sports radio commercial from years ago and right when you
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: had thought it was the turning point. They took a nap.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: They took a nice snooze. The Houston Cougars, they took
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: a snooze. Houston led by twelve points in the second
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: not twelve is not a lot, but the ineptitude of
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: men's college basketball, the absolute incompetence of how these people
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: play the game. You would think twelve points should be enough,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: but it really was the story of the tournament. Auburn
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: had a decent lead in their game on Saturday. They
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: blew it, right, They blewed it against Florida. The Duke
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Blue Devils had a sizeable lead against Houston. They blew
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: it in that game. And then it's just the theme
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: in San Antonio, as Houston also seemingly, with that lockdown defense,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: had the game in control, and it obviously did not
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: work out quite that way. But here's the deal, right,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: So Houston, now the school's never won a men's basketball championship,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: and this team ends up taking a position behind the
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: famous five Slamma Jama teams of the nineteen eighties as
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: a bridesmaid, unable to get it done. But the buck
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: does stop with Kelvin Samson, right, now the players are
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: the ones that fetched around on the court. But the
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: college game, you say, the coach is the one that's
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: supposed to draw up the brilliant play. It wasn't a
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Healter Skelter play. You had time to design something and
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: you could not even get a shot up. That is
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: a cardinal sin. And you can like Kelvin Sampson, you
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: can praise Kelvin Sampson, you can celebrate Kelvin Sampson, but
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: you got to get a shot attempt up. You gotta
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: get a shot. Is that too much to ask? Is
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: that too much to ask? And it's in some ways
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: it is symbolic that the men's basketball tournament ends up
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: like this because Kelvin Samson the end, he's getting up
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: there sixty nine. So Kelvin Samson at the end of
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: the game, he's standing on the sidelines and he's gotten
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: to paint the picture for you if you're blind. So
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: he's got his hands on his hips. He's motionless, right,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: there's no movement there, and he's got this blank, dazed
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: and confused look on his face like he's trying to
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: figure out the time space continuum. And that moment right there,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: that was symbolic because his team was motionless. As it
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: turned out at the very end there, Houston, they quote
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: the great hockey coach. They sucked at a time they
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: could not suck at the end. And it was like
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: a classic from Brett Michael's younger days. There, Brett Michael's
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: coming up back in his poisoned days with a every
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: rose has its thorn, right that tune, Every rose has
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: his thorn because Houston they got a bunch of roses
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: for what they did against Duke r They got a
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: lot of roses there. Congratulations you won the game. And
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: then on Monday night they picked up the thorn. They
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: grabbed the forn, They got the nice part of the rows,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: and they picked up the thorn on Monday night. A
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: fitting ending, a fitting ending to the Cougar season. Could
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: not even get a shot off to win, as the
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: kids say the Natty, they all the basket wins the game,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: couldn't do it. And this kid for Houston, Emmanuel Sharp,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: stopped right in the middle of the shooting motion as
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: he tried to get the game winning shot up. There
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: were about I don't know how many second there were
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: a few seconds to go in the game, were very
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: many seconds, and so he dropped the ball. And once
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: you drop the ball, you can't touch the ball, you
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: can't pick it up. You'd be called for traveling. Did
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: it not seem And I had no skin in the
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: game on this, but did it not seem like? This
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: was like a like a seven or eight minute thing.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: It was only a few seconds. But the ball just
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: tribbling and no one touching it. And then you're like,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: what the f is going on? This is to win
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: the championship. You can't touch it. Where the hell are
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: your teammates? No one can touch it, and like what
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: are you doing here? And then finally Alex Conden came
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: over there and died for the ball and he flipped
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: it forward and that's it. Buzzer sounds and turn out
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: the last the parties over see you waitter now page two,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: So Florida coach Todd Golden. Todd Golden becomes the youngest
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: head coach to win a national championship since Jim Volvano. Now,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: if you're old, you know who that is. Jim and
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Jimmy v SO TV commentator died at a young age.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: But Jim Valvano was thirty seven way back in nineteen
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: eighty three, a team called North Carolina State won the championship,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: and so Todd Golden, at thirty nine, the youngest coach
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: since then to win the championship. So what does the
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: future hold in the crystal ball for Florida coach Todd Golden.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: So if you look, and as a distant relative of
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Nostre Damas and friend of Nostradamus, we're never wrong about
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: these predictions, never about these predictions. But the answer is
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: Shakespearean in my crystal ball, Shakespearean. And it was a
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: line from Shakespeare. The world is his oyster. At this point, yes,
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: you would say, absolutely, the world is his oyster. He's
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: thirty nine, He's at the very pinnacle, the summit of
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: men's college basketball right now. And his name, it is
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: poetic Golden, Yes, as in gold of Bouillon, which will
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: be coming his way, a lot of gold Bouyon. Todd
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Golden is entering Boomtown, USA, Boomtown, USA, and a stampede
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: of wealth, money, money, money, Yeah, it's all coming his way.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: He's already making a lot of money, but it'll be
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: a bigger bonanza, bigger slice of the pie. At worst.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: At worst, he's going to get a new contract in
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: more money, money money in Gainesville, and he'll be moving
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: out of the treehouse abode and he'll be moving into
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: a nice rustic cabin. And why not, right, he's got
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: the elevated stilts on that rustic cabin and he'll be
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: good to go on that. And yeah, you get the
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: swamp there, so you can stand the rising waters of
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: the swamp and he'll be in good shape. And he
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: can also if he wants, run off to the NBA.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: That's what the last Florida coach did that won a
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: couple of championships, Billy Donovan. He's still in the NBA.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: He's had a long run in the NBA, and I
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: didn't want anything. He's still hanging around all right now.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: Last word, So the player of the tournament, Player of
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: the tournament, the outstanding player of the tournament, guy named
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: Walter Clayton Jr. So, will Walter Clayton Junior have his
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: NBA draft stock rise up? Will its skyrocket to the moon?
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: To the moon because of this historic tournament. So we've
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: talked about this in the in previous episodes of the show,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: we've discussed this. You and I we've had this conversation,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: and I would not use the word skyrocket. I believe
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: that would be the wrong word. I believe that would
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: be the inappropriate word. That is not the word I
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: will use. My word is uptick, as in a registers
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: a mild uptick, right, a mild uptick now right now,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: there's that after glow and everyone's all got you excited
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: and all that because the game just happened. Clayton, he
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: does pick up a nice big Duffel bag, the kind
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: of duffel bag that will you'd have to pay for
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: if you go on like Spirit Airlines, because it's too big,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: and they charge you for it because it doesn't fit
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: where it needs to fit, and they say you can't
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: carry that, and as you get upset and you're like,
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: well I don't, I don't want to pay for it.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: It's a carry on, so you were not allowed to
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: do that. You gotta pay for it. So it's a
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: big Duffel bag, and it's got extra our points in it,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: so you get extra aural points. Congratulations on that for
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: being the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament Outstanding Player. Now that said,
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: you and I both know every man, woman and child
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: knows the panache. The panache that you get fun word say,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: I like the word panash. I don't use the word panash.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: So you get that panage. But that only goes so far,
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: like you're only able to go so far when you
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: have that panache. And if you look at the lead
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: in here Clayton, who's the star of the tournament, even
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: though he didn't have a basket in the first half,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: he was projected as a second round pick. Prior to
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: the tournament, they had him as a second round grade
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: the NBA scouts. And the issue here is you've got
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: an age problem. No, he's not old. He's not old,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: but he has been around for a while at Florida.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: He's a senior. There's some other factors involved in this,
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: also the fact that he is a senior and he's
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: had access to NFL, NFL, NBA talent evaluators for a
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: couple of years. They're not exactly salivating at getting their
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: hands on him in the NBA. His skill set appears
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: to be a dime a dozen by NBA standards, And
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: we'll see whether or not he can get convinced them
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: to maybe get a late first round selection. Because he
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: had some big moments in the NCAA tournament. And I
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: know in football, you win the Heisman, you get drafted
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: a little higher. There's a little more you can sell
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: on the player. Now, how much here's the question, how
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: much did this championship for Todd, Golden and friends? Cost?
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: How much did Florida have to spend? Because remember there's
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: no salary cap in college basketball? So how much did
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: they have to spend to win the men's championship? And
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: I did as much of my research as I could.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: I searched around, I tipped some rocks over, I bounced
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: all over the place. And the exact figure and how
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: much Florida spent a name, image and likeness is a unknown.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: It's not publicly disclosed or not exactly sure how much
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: they spent. The every detail is not documented on that
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: these schools have these collectives, these kind of weird shadow
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: government operations that pay the money, and so it's it's hazy.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: The estimate is that it cost Florida like two and
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: a half million dollars. I think it cost them more,
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: but that that's the ballpark figure. Two and a half
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: million dollars salarycap for Florida to win the championship in
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: nil money and all that, but the portal. It's the
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: power of the portal, not the power of the people.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: It's the power of the portal. It is the Ben
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: Mather Show. And then we're gonna open up the lines.

  Speaker 1: was not enough, now we have some cheesy game shows.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure we can play one of them, though,
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: we'll have to figure we'll get to the bottom of that.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: We might have to have an emergency malord meeting to
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: see if we can play one of the games. We'll

  Speaker 1: to call the show loves that number. Ten thousand. Tiraq
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: dot com the way tire buying should be. I know
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: we have not heard from chitchat Charlie. He has not
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: called the show today, so he must have got in
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: trouble Chit Chat Charlie from his mom for calling the show.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: That's my idea. Anyway. Our lead this hour is from
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: sixteen hundred Pennsylvania Avenue, the People's House that is better
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: known by many as the White House. Course, it used
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: to be the people's house, and over the years they've
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: added layers and layers and layers of security. But the
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: big Blue wrecking crew made an appearance. And this is
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: a story. It's been a story for the last ten years.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: Do you go? Do you not go? Is it a
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: big deal? Is it a little deal? Is it no deal?
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: So the Dodgers, if you didn't see this, maybe not.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump welcomed the reigning champions of baseball, the Dodgers,
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: and both Mookie Bets and Dave Roberts made the trek
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: from the team hotel in DC where they're playing, and
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: they lost to the Natitudes on Monday night. But before that,
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: during the day, the Dodgers made a trip over to
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: the White House and they hung out with the President. Now,
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: Dave Roberts and Rookie Bets were there. Why does that matter?
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Why is that relevant? Well, the reason it's relevant, let
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: me explain is you had Dave Roberts, who had hinted
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: way back in twenty nineteen. I barely remember that that
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: was pre pandemic. He said that he would skip a
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: Trump White House tree. He now this time around, called
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: it a great honor. But five years ago or six
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: years ago, I probably skip it. Yeah, probably skip it.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: Then you add Mookie Betts, the former MVP Mookie Bets,
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: who also when he had a chance, that he actually
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: had a chance that the Dodgers played the Red Sox
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: in the World Series in twenty nineteen, twenty eighteen, and
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: the Red Sox won that, And so the Dodgers didn't
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: get to go to the White House, But Mookie Bets
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: did have a chance to go to the Trump White
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: House and he skipped out on it. He didn't show
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: up in an act of defiance, and he was there.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: The Dodgers showed up and Mookie was there. He said,
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: it's not about it's not about him. It's about team unity.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: It's not about politics or anything like that. And so
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: he admitted that he regretted, he regretted his past boycott.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: That stole the spotlight. All right, So let us discuss
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: the question. Should the Dodgers, Mookie Bets, and Dave Roberts
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: have skipped the White House visit all together? Because there
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: are these deep think pieces out there. Oh, they shouldn't
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: have shown up this time. It's a bad job they
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: showed up. They're cowards. They caved in. Right, that's the
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: line of thinking. I'm paraphrasing, but that's the line of thinking.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: So I've got plexico buffet and evangelizing, and we will
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: combine all of these things together and we are going
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: to have some Baba ganoosh. We're gonna make the baba ganoosh.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: Get the eggplant ready, We're gonna make the baba now.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: First of all, after eight minutes long Mallard deliberation, as
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: the judge, jury and executioner, I have made my ruling.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: And the ruling is motion denied. For those that are
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: complaining after the fact that Mookie Bets and Dave Roberts
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: showed up to the White House, in fact, I think
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: you should congratulate. I feel a little weird congratulating someone
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: for doing something they're supposed to do. Anyway, I know
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: you don't have to do it, but it's a good job.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: They didn't act like Mama Luke's Dave Roberts and the
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: Mookie Bets. And you're not required. It's not like you
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: have to be there. You don't have to be there.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: But by not going, as Mookie Bets referenced, you make
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: it all about you. Right, you become the story. It's
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: like I do a TV show during football season with
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: a guy that makes it all about him, right, And
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: so I know people, I know people in my world
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: that make it all about them, and I want to
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: punch them right in the nose, those people, right, I
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: don't want to punch them. Right, It's not about you.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: It's not all about you and all that stuff. And
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: so it's good, you know, Mookie said, it's not It's
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: about unity with the team and all that, not about
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: politics and all that. And fine, Now I do understand
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: this is a generational situation. I get it like I
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: was of the generation that was raised that to hang
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: out the white that's a great honor. You know, no
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: matter whether you agree with the politics at the time
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: or not. Politics change, but you have the opportunity to
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: go hang out with the president. You want to do that.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: And the professional sports industry, I know other generations don't
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: feel that way, but the professional sports industry they took
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: a hit when they were all up in arms over
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: Trump the first administration of President Trump. And the real
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: moment where the thing flipped was when the NBA had
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: all those woke slogans on their uniforms, and in the bubble,
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: or that cheesy bubble in Orlando, and they were bleeding
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: some money there, right, They lost a lot of television audience.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: People were up in arms, and Adam Silver made sure
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: the following season, let's get rid of all of that.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: No slogans on the courts, no slogans on the uniform,
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: get rid of everything. And the reason he did it
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: was because of money. Right, everything's done by money. They
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: were losing money. They thought they were on the right
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: side everything, and that business would be booming and all
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: that stuff. But as an industry, the industrial complex of
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: professional sports, it's like, hey, listen, lesson learned. Okay, let's
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: not pull a plexico burs our teammate here at Fox
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: Sports rate Let's not shoot ourselves in the leg. Let's
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: not have some self sabotage here. Keep the shrapnel away,
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: no self inflicted wounds. So you show up, you put
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: on a happy face. There, you smile, you get out
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: of there. And of course in these times people get
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: up in arms about that. Anyway, there's no easy way
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: to go about this. And so the ratings wobbled back then,
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: and some people flinched and all that. But now. Secondly,
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: so I already saw a couple of stories about the
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: Dodgers visiting the White House on Monday, and the sentiment
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: is like, well, there's a lot of backlash on social media.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: People are up in arms. And so the question was asked,
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: have the Dodgers alienated a significant portion of their fan
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: base by going to the White House? And I'm shaking
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: my head. No, you can't see, but I'm passionately shaking
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: my head. No, not just I'm going really fast. I'm
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: shaking my head. No, I'm gonna get dizzy if I
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: keep shaking my head. No. But this is one of
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: those contrived stories. And this is a pet peeve of mine.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: And since I have the soap box and I've got
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: the bully pulpit, I can rant about what's a pet peeve.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: Contrived stories in the media for a thousand, contrived stories
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: in the media for one thousands. So the Dodgers showed up,
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: they took a photo, and they gave the President of Jersey.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: That's the normal thing you do. Those are all boilerplate
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: things to do that don't paint by numbers. Paint by numbers.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: This is tradition that goes back to the eighteen hundreds. Okay,
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: this is not something that started forty years ago or
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: fifty years ago. This goes back to the eighteen hundreds.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: The social media backlash story is bullshoy. It's also floating
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: on the lazy river, is what it is. Let me
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: explain why. As you know, social media is the matrix.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: It's not real. It's the wild wild West social media.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: And if you scroll through it long enough, I promise,
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: if you scroll through it long enough, you will find
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: someone arguing on any side of any issue, even the
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: most ridiculous position. You will find whether it's real or
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: a bot something, something that is arguing with what is
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: universally thought of as the right position. Where there's no argument,
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: you'll find someone on the other side. So think of it.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: If you're in the media business. Okay, if you're in
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: the media business and you have an agenda and your
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: agenda is to present an issue a certain way, it's
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: in court they call it lying, bio mission or selective editing.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: In this case right selective editing. So it's an all
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: you can eat buffet social media of confirmation bias, and
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: you can pick whatever suits the agenda that you would
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: like to have on your plate. Whatever fits that agenda,
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: you just take that out of the buffet. It's like, yeah,
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: I feel like spaghetti today, I'll have the spaghetti, but
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: I don't want the spaghetti. I want the chicken fingers. Well, okay,
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: I don't you know. I don't want the chicken fingers.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: So I'm gonna get the cheeseburgers. But the cheeseburgers aren't
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: that warm, so I'm not gonna do the cheeseburgers. So
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: I'll do I'll do the turkey, and just pick what
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: you want. And the social networks, as we know, they
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: amplify controversy like some someone complaining about a trip to
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: the White House. Oh my god, because it gets engagement.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: It's people worked up into a lather and get worked
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: up into a tizzy. And the algorithms, the evil algorithms
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: that you know, they sing the loudest, They sing the loudest,
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: the algorithms and go on and on, and the divisive,
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: the more divisive of the argument, the better it does
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: with the algorithm. Now, I am sure there are some
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: activists out there that are very upset and are burning
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: in effigy. They're dodger merchandise and all that stuff up
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: in arms, these activists, but they're the same people that
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: get worked up into a lather about everything. And the
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: great thing about the times we live in today is
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: that these stories only last twenty four hours anyway, So
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: it's not even twenty four hours. It's more like a
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: ten hour cycle. It's about a ten hour cycle. So
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: a bad publicity for about ten hours. And what I
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: have learned from my many travels doing the show and
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: going around and meeting you at various points across the
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: United States doing Mallard meet and greets. In May, we're
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: going to be in Canada. But what I have learned,
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: what I have learned from doing this show is that
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: the vast majority are not engaged politically. You're just not in.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: So that's not true. Well, from going out boots on
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: the ground, most of the people I come across are disengaged, indifferent,
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: or if they're in politics is only when the election's
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: going on. I don't really care about it other than that.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: And that's about it all right now, final thought, We
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: head to the Bronx Zoo. We go to the Bronx Zoo.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: That is where veteran relief pitcher Adam Ottavino. This guy's
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: bounced around. He's played for a bunch of teams, so
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: he's on the Yankees now, and he chimed in on
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: the story of stories to begin the baseball season. You
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: see that Adam Outavino believes the Yankees' reputation, the Yankee
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: reputation is doing more than anything else to amplify the
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: conversation regarding the tarpedo. The tarpedo bats fire the torpedoes, right,
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: he said, quote says, I mean, listen, first of all,
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: it's the Yankees, and they scored a million runs the
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: first few games, and it's cool to hate the Yankees,
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: and it's cool to look for the Boogeyman, and that's
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: what some people are going to do and can't really
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: stop that. Adam Monovito, who's a generic, non descript right
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: handed relief pitcher who famously said he could strike out
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: Babe Ruth and people said, who's that guy? Yeah, he said,
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of misinformation and non education on it too.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: Quotes quote, So is Adam Attavino, generic major league baseball
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: relief pitcher who happens to play in the Pinstripes. Is
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: he correct that it's cool to hate the Yankees or
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: is he just stirring the pot. He's just sucking up
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: to Yankee fans, sucking up to the bass the electorate.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: So I'm going to go with answer C. All of
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: the above. I'm gonna go with all of you. But now,
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: it's fun to poke the Bronx bombers. It's also fun
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: to stir the pot. Like both those, and you get
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: a talk show. It's fun to stir the pot. This
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: job is great. And if you're a baseball player and
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: you can stir the pot, even better. But Adam Onnovino
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: is a generic relief picture dim a dozen. But really
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: he's evangelizing the gospel. He's evangelizing the gospel. The Yankees
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: hate in this particular story is unwarranted. Now, Kooper Loop
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: was not here. He freaked out. He was convinced that
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: these torpedo bats were gonna ruin the record book and
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: all that. And I rolled my eyes at that, and
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: I know Spiccoli got upset with me. I can't believe
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: you're taking that position. So some of my foot soldiers,
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: some of my boots that are very important in the
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: Mala militia, some of my senior bringing your generals, we're complaining.
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: But the point and out of Youno mentioned this the picture.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: These torpedo bats are A they're not new, and B
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: it's not the Yankees that are the only ones that
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: use them. They are custom made, they're tailor made per hitter,
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: and they're not unique with the Yankees that everyone in
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: baseball has access to the torpedo bat because the way
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: it works these bat companies, they have people that come
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: to the locker rooms and say, okay, we we're in
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: the business of selling bats, and you have to pay
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: for the bats. Here's what we have and here's how
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: much it costs in payoff. All right, is the Ben
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: Mahler Show. You want to commem in on any of that,
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: you can join us right now at eight seven, seven
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: ninety nine on Fox. That's eight seven seven nine nine
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: six six three sixty nine if you'd like to be
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: part time now for the Malor Riddle Love the Day,
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: And here is the Mallor Riddle of the day. We'll
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: go to baseball. Why not. Cincinnata Reds manager Terry Francona
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: was asked about solving the scoring woes of his baseball
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: team early in the season and Francona said, we were
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: going to have a blank, but nobody volunteered. Again the
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: mallor riddle of the day. Cincinnati Reds manager Terry Francona,
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: when asked recently about the early season offensive woes of
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: his baseball team, said, of the Cincinnati baseball team, we
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: were going to have a blank, but nobody volunteered. That
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: is the malor really love to day. The answer, We'll
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: get to it and we will do it next.
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: Here we go, here we go, Here we go, here
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: we go, here we go, Here we go out to
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: the third degree.
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: This is one gets it.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: Here she is here Brie making her debut of the night.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: Here eating fudge.
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: The orange is creamsicle is delicious.
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: Just ahead time. I'm not eating anything. We need to
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: tell me that.
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: It was reported over the weekend that Alabama quarterback Jalen
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: Milroe accepted the NFL's invitation to the draft. Earlier in
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: the year, it was reported that the league was only
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: inviting eight to ten players who they believe will be
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: top picks. This is making people think that Milroe is
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: skyrocketing up.
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: The draft skyrocket air.
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: Are you buying that?
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: No, I am not buying that. Okay, listen, you're gonna
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: show up and he's gonna be sitting in the green
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: room and he's not gonna be pegged, like what's going
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: on here. The thing that I've heard about Milroll is
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: they're saying he's like the poor man's Jalen Hurts, that
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: he can be Jalen Hurts two point zero. I didn't
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: think he was that great at Alabama, so I'll believe
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: it when it happens.
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: Next, the Phillies won their series against the Dodgers, and
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: some are saying that with the win, the Phillies that
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: made a statement.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: Do you agree? No, it's April. There's no statement in April.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: They're gonna play like eight thousand games between now and October.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: There's no statement. They don't have. The Phillies will be hurt.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: Half the Dodgers will be hurt. They're already heard no right.
• 33:39
