0:10
Speaker 1: Interesting story from All Star Red Sox Pitcher a raw
0:14
Speaker 1: This Chapman who is no longer demanding the Yankees apologize
0:18
Speaker 1: to him. What do you read into this? We'll take
0:20
Speaker 1: a look at that. Also, Wilson Contreras says he won't
0:24
Speaker 1: waive his no trade cause he wants to stay with
0:26
Speaker 1: the Red Sox. Does this close the door on his
0:30
Speaker 1: trade situation? And does Giants All star Luisa rise demand
0:34
Speaker 1: to stay, his demand to stay at second base? Heard
0:36
Speaker 1: his trade value? All that and more right now, Malard
0:39

0:59
Speaker 1: F rewhere, hopefully not talking into a vacuum as occasionally,
1:06
Speaker 1: we have an itchy palm coastuck coast border, the border
1:10
Speaker 1: in beyond on the mast and spicily powerful microphones of
1:16
Speaker 1: fsre am monating live from the zone. What's in the
1:21
Speaker 1: zone the strike zone of the overnight gairon teed human
1:26
Speaker 1: from the world famous Fox Sports Radio studios, where the
1:30
Speaker 1: King Rory reminds us This hour made possible by our
1:33
Speaker 1: friends at tire Rack. For over forty years, tire Iraq
1:38

Speaker 1: what and where they drive, ship fast and free back
1:50
Speaker 1: by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like
1:54
Speaker 1: mobile tire installation tire raq dot com. The way that
1:59
Speaker 1: tire buying should should be Now Avelino who works around Boston.
2:06
Speaker 1: We met him at the Malla meet and greet we
2:08
Speaker 1: did last when we did there in Boston, and he
2:10
Speaker 1: goes around fixing all the bridges, which means you're gonna
2:13
Speaker 1: have really good employment for a long time because there's
2:15
Speaker 1: a lot of bridges and they're really really old. And
2:18
Speaker 1: he says, Ben, you know, I'm out here on the
2:20
Speaker 1: bridges and sometimes we need stuff at home Depot. So
2:23
Speaker 1: that's right. Upgrade your FIFA World Cup twenty twenty six,
2:27
Speaker 1: set up build it like Beckham from living room to
2:31
Speaker 1: lawn with the Home Depot and take the fast free
2:34
Speaker 1: delivery syst the Home Depot Official FIFA World Cup twenty
2:38
Speaker 1: twenty six supporters subject to availability. And if you were
2:42
Speaker 1: not paying attention to the World Cup, you may have
2:46
Speaker 1: missed the fact that France has been eliminated from the
2:50
Speaker 1: World Cup. That game on Fox yesterday they're two nothing,
2:54
Speaker 1: lost to the Spaniards in the semi final. There as
2:57
Speaker 1: Jimbope ripping the sli play of the French team and
3:03
Speaker 1: now here we go. It's set up today, one game
3:08
Speaker 1: left to decide who goes and plays Spain in the
3:11
Speaker 1: championship matchup, and we'll, mister Messi get it done. There
3:16
Speaker 1: they Argentina trust to win again against England. That game
3:19

3:27
Speaker 1: So again thanks to our friends at home depot. And
3:30
Speaker 1: but wait, there's more. I believe it was the cape
3:34
Speaker 1: Cod Paperboy, or possibly Matt Ka from Wooster who said, Mallard,

Speaker 1: Slash disclosures and we are back at it. Good to
4:14
Speaker 1: be here, Glad you were there, and it's gonna yap
4:18
Speaker 1: more about the All Star Game. It was not much
4:20
Speaker 1: of a game, so instead we've got other noise around
4:22
Speaker 1: the All Star Game, which is much more fun. The
4:24
Speaker 1: American League All Stars shut out the National League All Stars.
4:29
Speaker 1: A I want to get away week for Philadelphia Philly
4:32
Speaker 1: All Star players as Kyle Schwarber lost the home run
4:37
Speaker 1: derby at the last minute to Jordan Walker, and then
4:40
Speaker 1: in the All Star Game you had Bryce Harper, Kyle
4:42
Speaker 1: Schwarber and mister marsh the three Philadelphia Philly hitters go
4:47
Speaker 1: zero for five with four strikeouts. I'm told that's not good.
4:50
Speaker 1: I'm told that's not good. And then the losing pitcher,
4:53
Speaker 1: Christopher Sanchez, got lit up in the first inning. So
4:58
Speaker 1: not much else to say on that. There were record
5:00
Speaker 1: amount of strikeouts for the National League hitters against the
5:03
Speaker 1: American League pitchers. So one of those American League pitchers
5:06
Speaker 1: are all this. Chapman says that he has changed his position.
5:10
Speaker 1: I don't even saw this or not. Maybe not might
5:13
Speaker 1: have missed it. But Chapman says he has moved on
5:16
Speaker 1: from his public demand a couple weeks back that the
5:19
Speaker 1: Yankees apologize to him if they want to trade for him,
5:22
Speaker 1: telling reporters that he said this at the All Star
5:25
Speaker 1: Game this week, that he has quote turned the page
5:29
Speaker 1: a long time ago on the dispute, even though about
5:33
Speaker 1: three weeks ago or less, Chapman was saying that he
5:37
Speaker 1: needed an apology. Now, this goes all the way back
5:39
Speaker 1: to twenty twenty two when Chapman was with the Yankees
5:42
Speaker 1: and thinks that he got a raw deal by the Yankees.
5:45
Speaker 1: They unfairly if you remember the story, they portrayed him
5:48
Speaker 1: as a malcontent that went a wall and skipped a
5:52
Speaker 1: mandatory workout and that led to him being off left
5:56
Speaker 1: off the postseason roster. Now, he previously insisted that Brian
6:01
Speaker 1: Cashman the gym and I believe Aaron Boone both owed
6:04
Speaker 1: him an apology. So now he's done a one point
6:08
Speaker 1: eighty on that. Chapman made it clear that he no
6:10
Speaker 1: longer expects said apology, which he expected a few weeks ago,
6:13
Speaker 1: saying the issue is behind him, and he gave the
6:17
Speaker 1: generic sports cliche, I am focusing in on the moment
6:20
Speaker 1: rather than revisiting old grievances. So that is a good
6:24
Speaker 1: jumping off point. Let us discuss the question. You got
6:30
Speaker 1: Red Sox closer Eraldus Chapman, who is no longer demanding
6:36
Speaker 1: the Yankees apologize to him? What do you read in
6:40
Speaker 1: to this? So my take, I've got bank fault, Instagram, hottie,
6:47
Speaker 1: and gravitos and we will combine all of these things
6:51
Speaker 1: together and we are going to make some Coppa gul
6:56
Speaker 1: poutine is what we're going to do, and then we'll
6:58
Speaker 1: have a side of the Babaganosh. Yes, a little side
7:01
Speaker 1: of the Bobbach. So my first thought here, of radis
7:05
Speaker 1: Chapman dropping the Yankees owe me an apology. Demand is
7:10
Speaker 1: the baseball equivalent of a pilot to radio, wing in
7:15
Speaker 1: to the tower at the airport and saying, all right, buys,
7:19
Speaker 1: I'm ready to land this thing right on the Cross
7:22
Speaker 1: Bronx Expressway. So, with the trade deadline less than a
7:26
Speaker 1: month away, Chapman finally realizing the stubborn ego was a liability,
7:35
Speaker 1: and he's all right. Yeah. Now, the other part of
7:38
Speaker 1: this is the Red Sox are on a nine game burner.
7:44
Speaker 1: They are though, beating up tomato cans. In fact, they
7:48
Speaker 1: have beaten up so many tomato cans. We are told
7:51
Speaker 1: the Red Sox over the last nine games here that
7:56
Speaker 1: it's like they're whipping up a batch of ragou marinera. However,
8:02
Speaker 1: you gotta think Boston's gonna be selling. Don't you know
8:05
Speaker 1: They've beating up bad teams. They play the good teams.
8:08
Speaker 1: They're exposed. You don't suddenly clear the air with an organization.
8:12
Speaker 1: I would say, if you're Chapman, unless you're hoping they call,
8:17
Speaker 1: I'd be hard to believe the Red Sox would hand
8:20
Speaker 1: deliver Chapman to the Yankees. You never say it, ever,
8:25
Speaker 1: You never say ever. This is a shameless strategic de escalation,
8:30
Speaker 1: the baseball version of Hey, I'm good if you're good. Yeah,
8:33
Speaker 1: I'm good if you're good. So by killing the feud,
8:37
Speaker 1: he's cracking open roll this. Chapman the bank vault door
8:41
Speaker 1: wide open for a reunion with the team where he
8:45
Speaker 1: spent seven seasons, a couple of tenures with the Yankees,
8:50
Speaker 1: a roller coaster ride there before things deteriorated. So that's
8:54
Speaker 1: the message. The messages, Hey, you don't need to apologize,
8:57
Speaker 1: mister cashman, take me back, now, take me back, all right. Furthermore,
9:01
Speaker 1: keeping the chatter going as the trade deadline is getting
9:04
Speaker 1: closer and the rumors are swirling. One of the names
9:07
Speaker 1: that has popped up a lot if you need a
9:10
Speaker 1: big bopper in your lineup people looking to poach players
9:13
Speaker 1: from the Red Sox, Wilson Contreras, who's been playing first
9:17
Speaker 1: base for the Socks, and his name has popped up.
9:20
Speaker 1: If you keep track of the gossip around baseball, his
9:23
Speaker 1: name's popped up a lot, saying, well, this guy could
9:25
Speaker 1: go to a contender and watch out. Well. He told
9:28
Speaker 1: reporters also at the Festivus in Philly that he proactively
9:33
Speaker 1: addressed the issue of the trade deadline with the organization,
9:38
Speaker 1: and he was joking around about it. He wanted to
9:40
Speaker 1: get ahead of any possible trade rumors. Well, sorry, they're
9:44
Speaker 1: already out there. Contra shutting down or at least attempting
9:48
Speaker 1: to shut down trade speculation, saying that he has already
9:51
Speaker 1: informed the brass in Boston that he wants to stay.
9:55
Speaker 1: He is not going to wave his no trade clause
9:59
Speaker 1: because he wants to finish his entire career at Finway.
10:04
Speaker 1: He said, quote, I've found my family. I didn't know
10:07
Speaker 1: he was an orphan. He said, I've found my family
10:10
Speaker 1: in the Commonwealth. He went on and said he was
10:13
Speaker 1: very emotional. He has this bond, not James bond, just
10:18
Speaker 1: a bond with a dog food Red Sox team. Now,
10:23
Speaker 1: since Contreras somehow was given a full no trade clause,
10:26
Speaker 1: he has complete control over whether or not he gets traded.
10:29
Speaker 1: Question Yet Wilson Contreras saying publicly this week he will
10:34
Speaker 1: not waive his no trade claws. He wants to stay
10:37
Speaker 1: with the Red Sox. Does this close the door on
10:42
Speaker 1: trade talks? So the answer is only if you are
10:47
Speaker 1: a sucker with a capital S and I don't meet
10:50
Speaker 1: a lollipop a sucker with a capitalist. If you believe
10:54
Speaker 1: a no trade clause ends trade talks, you probably also
10:58
Speaker 1: believe the WWE is completely real. Now. I like the
11:02
Speaker 1: ww I used to be call the WF. I grew
11:05
Speaker 1: up on it. I enjoyed it. I also have some
11:07
Speaker 1: people I know that work in it, and one of
11:10
Speaker 1: our biggest success stories in the Mallard Militia. The restler
11:14
Speaker 1: known as Russef grew up on this show. Russef is
11:18
Speaker 1: a big fan of the show, and he called into
11:20
Speaker 1: the show in the past, and I used to work
11:22
Speaker 1: with this guy named Eddie, and Eddie would be like, oh,
11:24
Speaker 1: Russef doesn't really know who you are, who doesn't listen.
11:26
Speaker 1: Then then Russef was traveling one night he called in.
11:28
Speaker 1: It was great, It was wonderful. But I understand that's
11:32
Speaker 1: not like legit anyway. The door isn't closed. It's just
11:37
Speaker 1: got one of those cheap Motel six hotel latches on it.
11:42
Speaker 1: That's it. Think of a no trade clause like a
11:44
Speaker 1: velvet rope. If the bag is big enough. If the
11:49
Speaker 1: bag is big enough, they'll let you in the club.
11:52
Speaker 1: And Contrera says, I love Boston great. Reminds me of
11:57
Speaker 1: every Instagram hottye who loves their partner until someone who's
12:02
Speaker 1: a famous athlete or Scott more power and more money
12:06
Speaker 1: slides into their dms and suddenly they love their partner
12:09
Speaker 1: just not quite as much. In life, you're loyal until
12:14
Speaker 1: you're offered something that makes loyalty feel like an outdated belief,
12:18
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So Contrera's can say, hey,
12:21
Speaker 1: I'm staying in Boston and that's it. And the Red
12:25
Speaker 1: Sox can say we're keeping them, We're keeping them, we
12:28
Speaker 1: like the player. And every GM in the league can
12:30
Speaker 1: say we're just checking in, you know, just doing some
12:32
Speaker 1: window shopping, doing our due diligence. That's all. So the
12:36
Speaker 1: most amazing part of this is that Wilson Contreras has
12:39
Speaker 1: a no trade clause. He signed an eighty seven million
12:42
Speaker 1: dollar deal with the Cardinals. Is it true that he's
12:46
Speaker 1: already waved his no trade clause once to go from
12:50
Speaker 1: Saint Louis to Boston. And if you've already waived the
12:54
Speaker 1: no trade claw laws once, is it also true that
12:57
Speaker 1: you're most likely to wave it again. So you're saying,
13:01
Speaker 1: there's a chance, all right, last thing to San Francisco
13:04
Speaker 1: where the Giants are bad and Luisa rise is on
13:09
Speaker 1: the move? Or is he now? His name's also popped
13:12
Speaker 1: up slap hitting infielder who's got one of the great
13:17
Speaker 1: records in baseball history for batting average, and Luisa Rai
13:21
Speaker 1: said he wants to remain a second basement. He's played
13:24
Speaker 1: first base he's bounced around the name, and he says
13:27
Speaker 1: wants to play continue to play second base if he
13:30
Speaker 1: is traded before the deadline, emphasizing that he is prepared
13:35
Speaker 1: and he has prepared rather all season to play at
13:37
Speaker 1: second base, and he does not want to become a
13:39
Speaker 1: dh again or a first basement and all that blah
13:41
Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah. He did say the standard jock
13:44
Speaker 1: cliche that he wants to stay with the Giants. Why
13:46
Speaker 1: wouldn't you. They're terrible, you'll get October off. That's what
13:49
Speaker 1: Mike Trout likes, not having to play playoff games. So
13:51
Speaker 1: a rise with the Giants there says he wants to stay. However,
13:54
Speaker 1: he didn't acknowledge the snuff a luffagus in the room
13:58
Speaker 1: that if a trade happened, his only request is to
14:01
Speaker 1: continue to play second base. Question, does Giants all star
14:07
Speaker 1: Luisa Rise and his demand to stay at second base
14:11
Speaker 1: hurt his trade value? So I am shaking my head.
14:16
Speaker 3: No.
14:18
Speaker 1: If you're watching on the YouTube feed at Ben Mahler Show,
14:21
Speaker 1: I am shaking my head. No. My eyes are closed
14:23
Speaker 1: because otherwise I'll get dizzy. So yeah, just because I
14:27
Speaker 1: learned this a long time ago, just because you want
14:29
Speaker 1: it does not mean you're going to get it. Despite
14:33
Speaker 1: a very vocal preference by Luisa Rise, he does not
14:38
Speaker 1: have a no trade doses. Now again, even if he
14:40
Speaker 1: did have a no trade clause, it really wouldn't matter,
14:42
Speaker 1: as we just talked about with Wilson Contreras to the
14:45
Speaker 1: Red Sox. But a Rise looking at this, if the
14:49
Speaker 1: right offer drops, here's what this means. The Giants are
14:53
Speaker 1: absolutely going to trade. He's signed a one year contract.
14:55
Speaker 1: I believe he's a journeyman player and that's it. Period stop.
15:00
Speaker 1: And then once he has dealt Luisa Rise, he will
15:04
Speaker 1: play wherever he is told to play because he wants
15:06
Speaker 1: another contract. And in order to get another contract, he
15:10
Speaker 1: has to go out there and monster Mash. I say,
15:13
Speaker 1: Monster Mash, you slap a bunch of hits, a bunch
15:16
Speaker 1: of singles in big games down the stretch and then
15:18
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, and that's it. And so once he's
15:23
Speaker 1: on another team, he's just going to do what they
15:25
Speaker 1: tell him. The problem is Arise is lacking the gravitas
15:30
Speaker 1: to have another outcome. He's a good player, he's just
15:34
Speaker 1: not considered that good. And there's another guy that's been
15:38
Speaker 1: tagged as a possible Yankee. Luisa Rise Tampa Bay has
15:42
Speaker 1: been mentioned, even a trip back to the podres. They're interested.
15:46
Speaker 1: They already had him. Why not. The problem Arise has
15:51
Speaker 1: is he's good in real baseball. He's not good in
15:56
Speaker 1: the algorithm. You know what I'm saying. So like, he
16:00
Speaker 1: doesn't trend well. He just hits well. The computer nerds
16:05
Speaker 1: that have hijacked baseball, the invasive species of nerds, they
16:10
Speaker 1: don't like him because he does not hit the ball
16:12
Speaker 1: five hundred feet. He does not have good exit v
16:14
Speaker 1: low and they love exit vlo. They pull their pants down.
16:18
Speaker 1: They get so excited about exit below, can't get enough
16:20
Speaker 1: of it. Right, he hadn't hit the ball five hundred feet,
16:23
Speaker 1: he didn't try it over. However, he's one of the
16:26
Speaker 1: ultimate contact hitters. He would have been, so he would
16:29
Speaker 1: have been the highest pid guy in baseball or one
16:32
Speaker 1: of the highest paid players in baseball. Back in the
16:34
Speaker 1: Tony Win Wade bog Z era of baseball, with the
16:37
Speaker 1: singles hitter, the doubles hitter was very valuable. Rise is
16:41
Speaker 1: twenty nine, and he's got that great record. He's the
16:44
Speaker 1: only player to win consecutive batting titles with three different teams,
16:49
Speaker 1: the Twins, Marlins and the Padres, and good luck striking
16:53
Speaker 1: them out. Good luck striking them out. So his value
16:56
Speaker 1: is fine. Whether he wants to play another position or
16:59
Speaker 1: only a second basic doesn't matter. His value is okay.
17:02
Speaker 1: It is the Ben Mallor Show. As we are rolling, rolling, rowling,
17:08

Speaker 1: our buddy and the Rob and the scorn. We were
19:02
Speaker 1: victims of the Mandela effect. We all agreed. Everyone on
19:06
Speaker 1: the show agreed that it was it was Rob in
19:09
Speaker 1: the three two one, and it was not. It's a
19:12
Speaker 1: bad job by us. We will severely, definitely remember the
19:15
Speaker 1: winner of the twenty twenty six Mallet Pelusi, which will
19:18
Speaker 1: be tomorrow and everything's pretty much filled at this point.
19:23
Speaker 1: We may have some ad on wild card spots if
19:26
Speaker 1: people bail out at the last minute they were looking
19:28
Speaker 1: forward to it. That'll be tomorrow. In the meantime, eight
19:30
Speaker 1: seven seven ninety nine on Fox is the call in number.
19:35
Speaker 1: You can also hit us up on the X machine
19:39
Speaker 1: and you can do that at Ben Malley. That's Anthony

Speaker 1: and Louisiana. He called in earlier. He told us last
19:49
Speaker 1: week he was having mental he was having major dental work,
19:54
Speaker 1: and then he's been He said he wouldn't be calling
19:56
Speaker 1: for a while. He's called every day and his major
19:59
Speaker 1: dental work was a teeth cleaning, so big thing. Anyway,
20:04
Speaker 1: Lorena is here FSR Tech Queen, don't talk to me
20:08
Speaker 1: and Cooper Loop a Bronco fan. That is all Bronco fan.
20:13
Speaker 1: Your comments can and will be used against you in
20:17
Speaker 1: the court of sports radio. So I beg of you
20:22
Speaker 1: act accordingly. Mallard Militia does not take Connie. You'll have
20:27
Speaker 1: Justin and Cincinnati Robbie the Mariner fan, just Josh. They'll
20:31
Speaker 1: all be attacking all right back to where we go,
20:34
Speaker 1: and later this hour we do a password the word
20:38
Speaker 1: Game of the Stars password coming up in a little
20:43
Speaker 1: bit and we look forward to that. Let's see kid
20:48
Speaker 1: read that. Here man alive? All right, there's people are
20:54
Speaker 1: people think we are again? I'm amazed by this. You
20:57
Speaker 1: guys seem to think that we're doing like as pot
21:00
Speaker 1: cast or something, which is it shows a podcast, but
21:02
Speaker 1: we're broadcast on commercial commercial radio. I mentioned this earlier.
21:07
Speaker 1: I didn't pay it off. So I love when old
21:09
Speaker 1: guys don't know tech. And I'm getting older, so eventually
21:12
Speaker 1: I'll be this guy. I'm not quite there yet. I
21:15
Speaker 1: don't think. I mean, maybe I am. I don't know.
21:17
Speaker 1: So the Chicago Cubs, if you're a Cub fan, our
21:20
Speaker 1: guy Tree in Chicago, you femi, all our boys in
21:23
Speaker 1: Chicago know this guy Bruce Levine, who's been around forever right,
21:27
Speaker 1: followed the Cubs for a long time, veteran Cubs reporter,
21:32
Speaker 1: and it turns out that he hit the thing you
21:35
Speaker 1: can't hit at the time, you can't hit it. He
21:37
Speaker 1: accidentally posted his private message to Craig Council. It would
21:44
Speaker 1: appear the manager of the Cubs on social media instead
21:48
Speaker 1: of sending it privately. Who goofed? I've got to know now.
21:52
Speaker 1: The message praised Craig Counsel and the coaching staff for
21:57
Speaker 1: the Cubs having a great record, way over five hundred
22:00
Speaker 1: at the All Star break. And here's the part where
22:03
Speaker 1: he got a little dicey. Levine, the Cubs reporter, said,
22:06
Speaker 1: let's hope twinkle d and twinkled Dumb don't sell you
22:11
Speaker 1: guys out like the twenty twenty five season, meaning the
22:15
Speaker 1: trade deadline, the Cubs unload key parts of the roster
22:19
Speaker 1: and then fall apart. He tried to delete it. The
22:23
Speaker 1: Internet is forever. Screenshots spread all over social media, and
22:28
Speaker 1: the assumption being that twinkled d and twinkled Dom referred
22:31
Speaker 1: to the Cubs President of Baseball Ops Jed Hoyer, and
22:35
Speaker 1: then the GM of the Cubs you've never heard of
22:38
Speaker 1: and so that's that's that. And so Levine, according to
22:44
Speaker 1: the Sun Times in Chicago, personally apologized to both after
22:50
Speaker 1: this came out, and a spokesman confirming that, So there
22:55
Speaker 1: you go. Now, why does that matter. It's just funny.
23:00
Speaker 1: If that if this had happened on a random day
23:03
Speaker 1: in August, it would not be as funny. It's the
23:05
Speaker 1: All Star break, it's funny. It's funny at the All
23:08
Speaker 1: Star break. It's funny. Let's go to the phones and
23:10
Speaker 1: we'll say hello, eenie, meenie miney mode. Two percent chance,

Speaker 8: probably law with the Americans, shut up the national form nothing.
34:03
Speaker 1: Itself, all right, thank you, Marcell. We grew at Marcel
34:06
Speaker 1: and Brooklyn. You see how much money Mexico made from
34:10
Speaker 1: the World Cup. By the way, this portion of the
34:12
Speaker 1: ben malshow made possible by our friends at Home Depot
34:15
Speaker 1: upgrade their FIFA World Cup twenty twenty six setup, build
34:18
Speaker 1: it like Beckham from living room to lawn with the

Speaker 1: Home Depot and take the fast free delivery. Assist the
34:24
Speaker 1: Home Depot Official FIFA World Cup twenty twenty six supporter
34:27
Speaker 1: subject to availability. So I read that Mexico invested four
34:31
Speaker 1: hundred and ninety nine million dollars in the World Cup
34:33
Speaker 1: matches in Mexico City and a couple of the spots
34:37
Speaker 1: in that country. The Mexico Business News, which I always read,
34:41
Speaker 1: estimates that by hosting the twenty twenty six FIFA World Cup,
34:45
Speaker 1: and it was mostly in the US and Canada, but
34:47
Speaker 1: Mexico generated roughly two billion dollars in US money, which
34:53
Speaker 1: is about zero point one percent of the entire country
34:57
Speaker 1: of Mexico's economy. The g the g of Mexico from
35:02
Speaker 1: the World Cup, and the people say, well, there's second
35:05
Speaker 1: fiddle to the US and all that they didn't have
35:07
Speaker 1: as many matches. However, now I'm always skeptical of these
35:10
Speaker 1: business reports about revenue that seems like reasonable two billion.
35:16
Speaker 1: It is the Ben Malor Show. Password the word Game
35:19
Speaker 1: of the Stars is next.
35:22
