0:00
Speaker 1: Ding Dong.
0:01
Speaker 2: It's our number two, our two of the Ben Mala Show,
0:06
Speaker 2: talking Bay's Ball, play ball, Juan Soto and Francisco Lindor
0:12
Speaker 2: doing the old media two step about the Mets clubhouse chemistry.
0:18
Speaker 3: Do you buy it? They're claiming on I think it's
0:20
Speaker 3: okay here, you know we're fine and all.
0:22
Speaker 2: That, despite multiple reports in the tabloids in New York problems. Also,
0:27
Speaker 2: how do you dissect Philly star Bryce Harper and Padres
0:32
Speaker 2: star Manny Machado endorsing the Dodgers spending spree. This upset
0:38
Speaker 2: some baseball scribes that want the Dodgers stopped at all
0:41
Speaker 2: costs and disgruntled outfielder Nick Casteanos joining the Padres. Is
0:47
Speaker 2: that a big deal, a little deal or no deal?
0:51
Speaker 2: Talk about that as well. Right now here it is
0:54
Speaker 2: our number two. Well, it's not exactly the magic of
0:59
Speaker 2: the Mets, but they're and again welcome in the beginning
1:04
Speaker 2: of another hour of the Ben Malor Show. We are
1:07
Speaker 2: in the air of of rewaere with incoherent talk. As
1:14
Speaker 2: we know, you can taste their tradition in every take,
1:19
Speaker 2: coast to coast, border to.
1:20
Speaker 3: Border and beyond.
1:22
Speaker 2: On the vast and rhythmically powerful microphones of fsre ammating live.
1:30
Speaker 3: From the world.
1:31
Speaker 2: It's a small world, after all, it's a small, small
1:34
Speaker 2: world from the world famous Fox Sports Radio studios as
1:39
Speaker 2: approved by Milkman Mike in Colorado and Texas Shack who
1:45
Speaker 2: know that this show made possible apart by our friends
1:47
Speaker 2: at ti Iraq. For over forty years, Tyraq has been
1:50
Speaker 2: helping customers like Kathy in Madison find the right tires
1:54
Speaker 2: for how, what and where they drive. Ship fast and
1:57
Speaker 2: freeback by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options
2:02
Speaker 2: like mobile tire installation, tire rack dot com the way
2:06
Speaker 2: tire buying should be, so our lead this hour is
2:08
Speaker 2: from Port Saint Lucie. That's a spring training town in
2:12
Speaker 2: the Grapefruit League. And I thought this was interesting. As
2:15
Speaker 2: spring training is underway, we're off to the races, the
2:19
Speaker 2: never ending baseball saga. But this is actually somewhat interesting
2:23
Speaker 2: because the Mets fell apart last season and they had
2:27
Speaker 2: a lot of talent. They had this big payroll. They
2:30
Speaker 2: did not get it done. They've unloaded several prominent players
2:35
Speaker 2: from the Mets. It's believed that that is at the
2:37
Speaker 2: behest of Francisco Lindor and Juan Soda. They're cleansing out
2:42
Speaker 2: the locker room of players they didn't like. So Pete
2:45
Speaker 2: Alonzo's not back, McNeil's gone. A couple other players that
2:49
Speaker 2: were of prominence of the Mets have been decommissioned by
2:54
Speaker 2: the Metropolitans. I bring this up because there's also some
2:57
Speaker 2: chatter of issues between Juan Soto and Francisco Lindor, the
3:03
Speaker 2: two big stars, although Juan Soto's in a different stratosphere
3:08
Speaker 2: compared to Lindor, but they're both making a lot of money,
3:11
Speaker 2: and Soo and Lindor. If you didn't see this, maybe not.
3:14
Speaker 2: They addressed the tabloid fodder in Gotham about the Mets
3:19
Speaker 2: clubhouse issues, and the first up Lindor he said, quote,
3:23
Speaker 2: are we all best friends? Talking about the Met's locker
3:26
Speaker 2: room the clubhouse? And also one Sod, Are we all
3:29
Speaker 2: best friends? That's not how it works in the clubhouse,
3:33
Speaker 2: Lindor said, But we are friends. We're good. We are friends,
3:37
Speaker 2: we're good teammates. We care for each other, we love
3:40
Speaker 2: each other, and we want the best for each other,
3:43
Speaker 2: as good as all the rest. Of course, Sodo was
3:46
Speaker 2: not as fired up as Lindor was when he was
3:51
Speaker 2: asked a similar line of questioning, he said, saying the following,
3:56
Speaker 2: that's in the past. Regarding the many issues that popped
4:00
Speaker 2: up during the twenty twenty five season, he said, that's
4:02
Speaker 2: in the past, he claimed, we forget about it. We
4:06
Speaker 2: focus on twenty twenty six, all right, So that is
4:09
Speaker 2: a good jumping off point.
4:10
Speaker 3: Let us discuss the question. Hey, you got one Soto
4:14
Speaker 3: to the right.
4:14
Speaker 2: You got Francisco Lindor to the left, doing the media
4:18
Speaker 2: two step about the Mets clubhouse chemistry issues.
4:25
Speaker 3: Do you buy it?
4:26
Speaker 2: Are you buying what Lindor and Sodo are selling? So
4:29
Speaker 2: on this one, I've got John Candy Neighborhood HOA president
4:35
Speaker 2: and Trader Joe's and we will combine all of these
4:39
Speaker 2: things together and we'll.
4:40
Speaker 3: Go ABC and one, two three, and we'll do it
4:45
Speaker 3: just like that.
4:45
Speaker 2: So Number one, do I buy that everything's great between
4:51
Speaker 2: Sodo and Lindor based on the comments parsing the words
4:55
Speaker 2: of these two guys at spring training. Absolutely not, not
4:58
Speaker 2: for a second, Not for a second.
5:01
Speaker 3: Do I buy it now?
5:01
Speaker 2: Lindor when he's going like, ah, are we best friends?
5:04
Speaker 2: That's not how it works, right, that's a Lindor line translation.
5:10
Speaker 2: We're not getting those matching bracelets or tattoos. We're not
5:13
Speaker 2: doing that corporate speak.
5:15
Speaker 3: If you will.
5:16
Speaker 2: For I don't like the guy, but I'll clock in.
5:19
Speaker 2: We are work friends the old line. We are work
5:22
Speaker 2: friends there, and that's the see you on the team flight.
5:26
Speaker 2: I will see on the team flight, and that's it.
5:29
Speaker 2: And I'm not going to invite you to my kids'
5:30
Speaker 2: birthday party, and I don't want to be invited to
5:33
Speaker 2: your kids' birthday party. So this is the New York Mets.
5:37
Speaker 2: It is not summer camp, it's not spring camp. It's
5:40
Speaker 2: just Mets baseball there. It's Steve Martin and John Canty, planes, trains,
5:45
Speaker 2: and automobiles. That's it, right, Not any kind of Thanksgiving dinner.
5:49
Speaker 2: We're not going trick or treating as a family's that's
5:52
Speaker 2: not happening. And then Juan Soto tossing on top of
5:56
Speaker 2: that that it's in the past. We focus on twenty
5:59
Speaker 2: twenty really interesting.
6:02
Speaker 3: So it's in the past.
6:03
Speaker 2: So if nothing happened just between me and you, if
6:06
Speaker 2: nothing happened in twenty twenty five, you don't need to
6:09
Speaker 2: bury anything. But yet it sounds like you're trying to
6:13
Speaker 2: bury something. So if nothing happened, why would you have
6:15
Speaker 2: to bury something. You don't say let's move on unless
6:19
Speaker 2: there is something to move on from. Am I wrong
6:21
Speaker 2: on that? I think it's just common sense. If there's
6:23
Speaker 2: nothing to move on from, why would you say we
6:24
Speaker 2: have to move on? There's nothing to move on from?
6:26
Speaker 2: You you were fine? Okay. So that is a admission.
6:30
Speaker 2: That is a confessional by Juan Soto here and without
6:35
Speaker 2: actually using the admission word, he didn't say, hey, I'm
6:39
Speaker 2: admitting to this and yeah, we care for each other. Sure, yeah, yeah,
6:43
Speaker 2: sure you do.
6:44
Speaker 4: Yeah.
6:44
Speaker 2: That's a corporate HR language, is what that is. That's
6:48
Speaker 2: the the email before the heads get chopped off. You know,
6:53
Speaker 2: the old layoff thing was send an email and all
6:56
Speaker 2: that stuff. And now, ultimately, if the Mets end up
6:59
Speaker 2: winning the National the east end, they have one of
7:01
Speaker 2: the better records in baseball, and they challenged the Dodgers
7:04
Speaker 2: who were light years ahead of the match. But if
7:07
Speaker 2: they are able to challenge them, then the winning cologne,
7:12
Speaker 2: the winning cologne there will cover up everything. And that's
7:15
Speaker 2: great and all wonderful and all that, but they don't
7:17
Speaker 2: try to sell me that it's some kind of buddy
7:21
Speaker 2: cop movie.
7:22
Speaker 3: From back in the day. I'm not buying that.
7:24
Speaker 2: Co workers sharing a locker room, not brothers in arms.
7:30
Speaker 3: That is not going on with the Mets now. Page two.
7:33
Speaker 2: A lot of baseball scribes are upset with Many Machado.
7:37
Speaker 2: They're annoyed by Manny Machado. Why would they be annoyed
7:40
Speaker 2: by Many Pachado because he didn't say.
7:42
Speaker 5: The right thing at the right time.
7:45
Speaker 2: And it's upsetting the padres well paid hustle when he
7:49
Speaker 2: wants Manny Machado. He was asked about the Dodgers spending
7:54
Speaker 2: a lot of money a player who has massive amounts
7:58
Speaker 2: of money based on his huge contracts he's gotten from
8:02
Speaker 2: the various teams over the years, but Machado did not
8:05
Speaker 2: say what the writers wanted him to say. He said
8:07
Speaker 2: he had no problem with the Dodgers, the NL West
8:11
Speaker 2: rival Dodgers continuing to burn money on high falutin free
8:17
Speaker 2: agents every year. They've seemingly added one or two free
8:20
Speaker 2: agents the last four or five years, and now they
8:22
Speaker 2: have this mega, mega superteam. Dodgers have won the last
8:25
Speaker 2: two World Series, beat the Yankees and the Blue Jays,
8:28
Speaker 2: and the Fall Classic Blue Jays had Game seven. They
8:31
Speaker 2: were right there to win it, but they didn't. They
8:33
Speaker 2: blew it and all that stuff. So but the Dodgers
8:35
Speaker 2: continue to spend money. Machado has no issue with it
8:38
Speaker 2: at all. And he said, quote, I ef in love it,
8:43
Speaker 2: he said Machado from the Padres spring training camp in Arizona.
8:48
Speaker 2: And he said every team should be doing it that
8:52
Speaker 2: blank blank and great for the game, said the forementioned
8:57
Speaker 2: Manny Machado. Now, Machado would prefer everyone Spain spend spent,
9:03
Speaker 2: which is not.
9:03
Speaker 3: A shocking take.
9:04
Speaker 2: He wants everyone to be like the Dodgers rather than
9:08
Speaker 2: see the money reeled back in, which is something which
9:12
Speaker 2: some of you socialist loving people love so much.
9:14
Speaker 3: You want to.
9:15
Speaker 5: You know, the Dodgers are spending too much money. We
9:17
Speaker 5: must put the kabash or the Dodgers. We have to
9:20
Speaker 5: have balanced financials. We have to have it and all
9:23
Speaker 5: that crap. Machado said. I think every team has the
9:26
Speaker 5: ability to do it. I hope all thirty two teams
9:29
Speaker 5: learn from that, meaning learn from the Dodgers. Now, that
9:33
Speaker 5: of course led to pushback, as we said, against Manny Machado,
9:37
Speaker 5: the Padres star who briefly played for the Dodgers and
9:42
Speaker 5: had the longest base hit ever in World Series history
9:46
Speaker 5: the twenty eighteen World Series against the Red Sox when
9:50
Speaker 5: Machado hit a ball off the wall and was styling
9:54
Speaker 5: and profiling and didn't realize the ball didn't go out
9:58
Speaker 5: of the ballpark. And very awkward, very awkward moment there
10:02
Speaker 5: for mister Machado.
10:04
Speaker 3: But he was not alone. He was not alone.
10:05
Speaker 2: Bryce Harper, you heard him. Bryce Harper plays in Philadelphia.
10:08
Speaker 2: Bryce Harper was asked about the Dodgers. He said, I
10:10
Speaker 2: love what the Dodgers knew. Obviously, Bryce Harper said to
10:15
Speaker 2: reporters in Florida. He said, quote, I mean they pay
10:18
Speaker 2: the money, they spend the money. I mean they're a
10:21
Speaker 2: great team. They run their team like a business, and
10:24
Speaker 2: they run it the right way, Harper said. And he
10:28
Speaker 2: went on to say each team in baseball has an
10:31
Speaker 2: opportunity to do the same thing, Harper repeating the same
10:34
Speaker 2: line that Machadda used without the profanity. Maybe not at
10:38
Speaker 2: the upper echelot of money, Harper said, but they can draft, they.
10:41
Speaker 3: Can develop, they can trade.
10:43
Speaker 2: I think a lot of teams can do that in baseball,
10:47
Speaker 2: and they should close quote all right, So the question
10:50
Speaker 2: on this one. You've got a couple of big stars
10:52
Speaker 2: in baseball, highly paid, highly compensated, obviously, So how do
10:56
Speaker 2: you dissect the Philadelphia Phillies Bryce Harper and the Padres
11:02
Speaker 2: star Manny Machado endorsing the Dodgers spending spree?
11:09
Speaker 3: All right, So I wrote down my report card.
11:12
Speaker 2: I wrote down E for expected, as in, it's expected
11:16
Speaker 2: this would happen MLB stars in general. This is a
11:19
Speaker 2: point of demarcation. MLB stars want thirty teams to act
11:24
Speaker 2: like the Dodgers and what the Yankees used.
11:27
Speaker 3: To be, and they're not like that anymore.
11:29
Speaker 2: But that's obviously what you want, and you would want
11:31
Speaker 2: the same thing if you were playing Major League Baseball.
11:33
Speaker 3: Don't sit as Oh, no, I don't want the Dodgers many,
11:36
Speaker 3: I don't shut up.
11:38
Speaker 2: If you were a baseball player, or you had a
11:40
Speaker 2: kid that was a baseball player, you would want the
11:42
Speaker 2: Dodgers to be the model franchise for every team. Instead,
11:47
Speaker 2: you've got these these people carrying the water for these
11:50
Speaker 2: cheap owners.
11:52
Speaker 3: And they're going around here and half.
11:54
Speaker 2: The owners of Major League Baseball act like the neighborhood
11:58
Speaker 2: hoa president.
12:00
Speaker 5: No, no, no, no fireworks. You can't have any fun,
12:03
Speaker 5: No landscaping upgrades, cannot.
12:05
Speaker 3: Do it, cannot do it.
12:07
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, we all agreed this neighborhood is
12:10
Speaker 2: going to be mediocre. We want mediocre. You can't put
12:15
Speaker 2: the razzle dazzle. You're not allowed to put the razzle dazzle.
12:18
Speaker 2: What's wrong with you and your razzle dazzle? That's essentially
12:22
Speaker 2: where we are. It's pathetic, it's absolutely pathetic. They don't
12:28
Speaker 2: want parody, right, this big buzzword parody. They want comfort.
12:33
Speaker 2: The owners want comfort. They want to pocket the revenue
12:37
Speaker 2: and have you support them making more money, and you're
12:42
Speaker 2: doing it.
12:42
Speaker 3: A lot of you are so stupid. You're doing it right.
12:46
Speaker 2: They want to pocket the revenue sharing and all that
12:49
Speaker 2: stuff and finish ten games under five hundred barring baseball
12:54
Speaker 2: without some kind of revolt, and they're actually getting people
12:57
Speaker 2: supporting them, which is fascinating to me that there's so
13:00
Speaker 2: many dumb people that are supporting these tight wad owners.
13:04
Speaker 3: It's wild.
13:06
Speaker 2: And the whole the salary cap thing that's not parody.
13:10
Speaker 2: It's about owners being too lazy to compete, and they
13:15
Speaker 2: want the rules rewritten because they're tired of the big
13:21
Speaker 2: kid winning the Science Fair every year. They're like, well,
13:24
Speaker 2: that's not right, and if you can't beat them, just
13:28
Speaker 2: legislate them. Right, it can't beat the Dodgers, so we'll
13:30
Speaker 2: just legislate. So they have to get rid.
13:32
Speaker 4: Of some players.
13:33
Speaker 2: What a loser's mantra, What a bunch of losers?
13:39
Speaker 3: Right now, EMA's agreement is all a twenty twenty seven.
13:41
Speaker 2: It is gonna be a workstopage, and it's all because
13:44
Speaker 2: of a line in the sand being drawn because of
13:48
Speaker 2: the Dodgers spending. It's coming the tight wad ownership class
13:52
Speaker 2: in Major League Baseball. They loathe the Dodgers, can't stand
13:57
Speaker 2: the Dodgers because they get exposed by the Dodgers. They
14:01
Speaker 2: get exposed that they don't really try to win. And
14:06
Speaker 2: it's the same group that scumbag who owns the Athletics,
14:11
Speaker 2: the Pirates, the Reds, the same.
14:15
Speaker 3: Teams year after year are in that class.
14:18
Speaker 2: And it's just a loser's editor, like somebody, what happened
14:22
Speaker 2: to the people's Like, listen, there is a giant dragon,
14:26
Speaker 2: fire breathing, three headed dragon out there, and so let's
14:30
Speaker 2: pick up the sword and we are going to be
14:33
Speaker 2: the dragon Slayer, and we're gonna be the team that
14:36
Speaker 2: they make the documentaries about because we beat the big, bad, mighty,
14:41
Speaker 2: fire breathing, three headed Dodger Dragon. We're gonna beat them. Instead,
14:46
Speaker 2: you just have a bunch of people whining it's not fair.
14:49
Speaker 2: Oh my god, it's not fair. Boooooo. Oh my god,
14:54
Speaker 2: such losers. I'm embarrassed for people that think that way.
14:58
Speaker 2: It's such a loser's attitude. Now, point to the Cactus League.
15:02
Speaker 2: We stay. We go now to Arizona in the Cactus League.
15:08
Speaker 2: That's where it is. It's all in Arizona. Hello, former
15:11
Speaker 2: Phillies outfit there. Nick Casteanos has found a new home.
15:14
Speaker 3: By the time.
15:15
Speaker 2: Now, we were on the radio at the end of
15:17
Speaker 2: the week and he had just been whacked by the
15:20
Speaker 2: Phillies and we said, well, you should wait, wait for
15:23
Speaker 2: one of the really good teams to have an injury,
15:25
Speaker 2: and then you can get a job somewhere and you'll
15:27
Speaker 2: be in good shape. Well, Castianos had no patience. He
15:30
Speaker 2: did not make it through the weekend. He joined the
15:33
Speaker 2: Padres over the weekend after being unceremoniously dumped by the
15:39
Speaker 2: Phillies because of a presidente beer that he was drinking
15:43
Speaker 2: in the locker room last summer, or actually on the bench,
15:46
Speaker 2: brought it, well, he was, I don't know if he's drinking,
15:47
Speaker 2: and he brought it to the bench and started harassing
15:51
Speaker 2: the Phillies manager in front of everyone else. So Philadelphia
15:54
Speaker 2: will end up paying almost all of Castianos's salary twenty
15:58
Speaker 2: million dollars, and the Padres will pay him the veteran minimum.
16:03
Speaker 3: Now, I'm of the age.
16:04
Speaker 2: I remember when I was a kid, I used to
16:05
Speaker 2: hear stories about people that were making the veteran minimum
16:08
Speaker 2: and they had to sell cars in the offseason. They
16:10
Speaker 2: had to get jobs in the off season. Do you
16:12
Speaker 2: know what the minimum salary for a veteran baseball player
16:15
Speaker 2: is in the year twenty twenty six. Yeah, it is
16:20
Speaker 2: seven hundred eighty thousand dollars. That's the minimum getting salary
16:25
Speaker 2: for a veteran. Seven hundred eighty thousand. I think that's
16:28
Speaker 2: the minimum salary in general. I don't mean it's based
16:30
Speaker 2: on whether you're a veteran or not. I think even
16:32
Speaker 2: if you're a rookie seven hundred eighty thousand bucks. There's
16:37
Speaker 2: nobody poor who's a baseball player in the major leagues
16:40
Speaker 2: it doesn't exist. In the only way you would be
16:43
Speaker 2: poor is if you're really bad at gambling like those
16:45
Speaker 2: Cleveland pitchers, or or the other other thing.
16:49
Speaker 3: Just terrible investments.
16:51
Speaker 2: So anyway, the point of all this, Philadelphia will be
16:54
Speaker 2: paying most of the salary. Padres will not be paying
16:57
Speaker 2: much of anything. As we said, he at one point
17:00
Speaker 2: point was an All Star, a two time All Star Castanos,
17:03
Speaker 2: and he has taken a sharp decline. He is a
17:07
Speaker 2: below average major league player at this point. He was
17:09
Speaker 2: last year in Philadelphia. So the question for the esteem panel,
17:13
Speaker 2: Nick Casteanos joining the Padres joined the Padres. Is this
17:17
Speaker 2: a big deal, a little deal or no deal? So
17:22
Speaker 2: I wrote down little deal with a lower casel, not
17:25
Speaker 2: a capital L, a lower CASELL. And it's not a
17:29
Speaker 2: blockbuster edition. If it is, it's a blockbuster video edition
17:33
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty six. For Castianos, that's it. And it's
17:38
Speaker 2: you know what it is. It's like going to Trader
17:39
Speaker 2: Joe's and they have those little appetizer things like the
17:42
Speaker 2: on the toothpick and you get a little piece of cheese,
17:45
Speaker 2: a little cube of cheese, and it's right next to
17:47
Speaker 2: the frozen orange chicken. You're like, why can't I get
17:49
Speaker 2: some orange chicken. Well, we didn't cook that. We've got
17:51
Speaker 2: the little Cuba cheese. But I don't want the Cuba cheese.
17:54
Speaker 2: But it's all we have. Okay, I'll take the Cuba cheese,
17:56
Speaker 2: but I'd rather have the little piece of orange chicken.
17:58
Speaker 3: We don't have that again.
17:59
Speaker 2: So Pasty arrives, much to the dismay of Jonathan and
18:03
Speaker 2: Delaware in the gas Lamp Quarter when the Podreys start playing.
18:07
Speaker 2: He's a diminished asset at this point, after his time
18:11
Speaker 2: in Philadelphia, a man. They said, well, it's just a
18:15
Speaker 2: change of scenery. He'll be ready to go and all
18:17
Speaker 2: that stuff. Just needs a new set of laundry.
18:20
Speaker 3: And he'll be ready to go.
18:21
Speaker 2: I would argue he needs to be fumigated and decontaminated
18:26
Speaker 2: and sanitized because there's a lot going on with his cat,
18:30
Speaker 2: a lot going on with his cat. He sucked at
18:32
Speaker 2: a time he cannot suck. At the end of the
18:35
Speaker 2: regular season, from July first of July to the end
18:39
Speaker 2: of the year, he batted two oh six. He was
18:40
Speaker 2: worse in the playoffs for the Fight in Phills as
18:43
Speaker 2: they quickly exited the playoffs, and so now Castiano's parachutes
18:47
Speaker 2: into a clubhouse starring the aforementioned Manny Machado captain sideye
18:53
Speaker 2: Fernando to tease Junior elmgo filtered, check him for.
18:57
Speaker 3: The you know the cream if you will.
19:01
Speaker 2: So the pod now the Padre romantics so like, oh,
19:03
Speaker 2: everything's great here, this is fine. It's a good landing spot.
19:06
Speaker 2: Machado and Nick where buddies. They were childhood pals and
19:10
Speaker 2: they know each other and all this stuff, and I say,
19:12
Speaker 2: whoop the dam do? They're grown ass men right now.
19:16
Speaker 2: And this has a high chance of being a debacle. Now,
19:19
Speaker 2: if it is a debacle, the Padres will just say
19:22
Speaker 2: bye bye. They'll get rid of Casteos. He won't be
19:25
Speaker 2: there very long. Padres are currently down wind from a
19:32
Speaker 2: toxic vapor cloud adding this guy in. They're just not
19:35
Speaker 2: as good as they have been in recent years. And
19:37
Speaker 2: that is a team. You keep an eye on the Padres.
19:40
Speaker 2: If they don't get off to a good start in
19:41
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty six baseball season, we get to that
19:44
Speaker 2: July portion and it could be burned baby burn in
19:49
Speaker 2: terms of a fire sale situation there as they start
19:52
Speaker 2: unloading some of these veteran players.
19:53
Speaker 3: It is the Ben Mahler shelf.

Speaker 2: Back to it All, back to It we go, Chip
22:06
Speaker 2: and the Queues Rights in says A plus on the
22:08
Speaker 2: Mala monologue. This is a non story to me. Chip says,
22:13
Speaker 2: it's something the media hacks stir up for attention and clicks.
22:17
Speaker 2: I assume you're talking about the New York Mets and
22:20
Speaker 2: their situation with Fernando or for Francisco Lindor, Francisco Lindor
22:27
Speaker 2: and Juan Soto.
22:28
Speaker 3: Chip says, think about it.
22:30
Speaker 2: How many workplaces have more than twenty five people on staff,
22:34
Speaker 2: have all the people they're getting along great?
22:36
Speaker 3: My guess is not many. Chip.
22:39
Speaker 2: I think there's something there though, when they're at Loggerheads.
22:43
Speaker 2: I think there's more to that story with the Mets.
22:46
Speaker 2: That's it's my take on it. Anyway, let's see Michael
22:50
Speaker 2: writes in he says all halftime shows absolutely suck. Good
22:55
Speaker 2: on you for not watching any of them. And he
22:59
Speaker 2: says any one can rip on soccer, but at least
23:03
Speaker 2: even in the final, in which five billion people will
23:06
Speaker 2: be watching this summer, he says, nobs.
23:09
Speaker 3: Blah blah blah blah blah. Yeah, but not in America.
23:13
Speaker 2: It won't be you know, there's obviously not five billion
23:15
Speaker 2: people here in America. But it's the global game and
23:20
Speaker 2: all that, but it doesn't has not played here in
23:23
Speaker 2: the States. RPS, right, since says do you know when
23:26
Speaker 2: a break is coming up? Says is it out of
23:30
Speaker 2: your hands? You get cut out a decent amount of time. Well,
23:33
Speaker 2: that's intentionally, RPS. That's an intentional act because if there's
23:38
Speaker 2: a lot of hosts, we call them bad talk to
23:39
Speaker 2: your hosts, they spend about ten minutes announcing they're going
23:42
Speaker 2: to break, and it's a great way to get your
23:46
Speaker 2: audience to tune out and not listen. So we generally
23:49
Speaker 2: do not announce. That's something that we've done a long time.
23:52
Speaker 2: I've done a lot of times. You don't announce when
23:53
Speaker 2: you're going away, and it's kind of a surprise, and
23:57
Speaker 2: it's a surprise for you the listener, and that's it.
23:59
Speaker 2: You don't know when exactly that moment's going to take
24:02
Speaker 2: place where you go away, and that's it. So that's
24:04
Speaker 2: why we do it that way, and it keeps you
24:06
Speaker 2: on your toes. You never know, never know, JJ and
24:10
Speaker 2: Rerent and Ripping. The people calling into the show, which
24:12
Speaker 2: is always JJ used to be one of our callers.
24:15
Speaker 2: He's semi retired from calling. Well let's get into it
24:18
Speaker 2: right now, so we'll do the Dougie and part of
24:20
Speaker 2: the Fox Sports Radio Alumni Association. Doug Gottlieb went viral
24:24
Speaker 2: on site. We don't really talk about Green Bay men's basketball.
24:28
Speaker 2: Why would be they suck? But Doug Gottlieb oer old
24:31
Speaker 2: buddy there. Former Fox Sports radio talk shows. Gottlieb is
24:35
Speaker 2: currently coaching in Green Bay and they played Sunday against Milwaukee,
24:41
Speaker 2: an all Wisconsin matchup, and Gottlieb was not happy. Our
24:46
Speaker 2: former colleague, Doug Gottlieb not happy with the officiating during
24:51
Speaker 2: that game, and he worked himself up into a tizzy.
24:54
Speaker 2: Take a listen here here's Doug Gottlieb as he was
24:57
Speaker 2: talking postgame, his team losing by three points and Gottlieb
25:02
Speaker 2: working himself up into a ladder.
25:04
Speaker 3: Take it is, I need the league.
25:06
Speaker 7: To explain to me why I got a technical foul
25:09
Speaker 7: when I was I did not curse, I was not demonstrative,
25:13
Speaker 7: I did not leave my box.
25:15
Speaker 8: All I said was that's the same play as the
25:17
Speaker 8: other end.
25:18
Speaker 3: Okay.
25:20
Speaker 8: All we ask is that there's a fair game.
25:22
Speaker 3: That's what we ask. Okay.
25:24
Speaker 7: C J O'Hara goes and gets an offensive rebound. Their
25:27
Speaker 7: player dives at his legs.
25:28
Speaker 6: CJ.
25:29
Speaker 8: Gets called for a foul.
25:30
Speaker 7: I need Donnie at the league and the new commissioners
25:32
Speaker 7: explained to me the disparity in the officiator.
25:36
Speaker 8: That's what I need explained. I got no.
25:38
Speaker 7: Problem, uh with with their team, their staff. They played hard,
25:43
Speaker 7: they did what they do, They played tough, and they
25:45
Speaker 7: played aggressive.
25:46
Speaker 8: I need somebody to explain to me.
25:47
Speaker 3: Yes, okay, how.
25:49
Speaker 8: How just just those two. There's others that I have
25:52
Speaker 8: massive issues.
25:52
Speaker 7: With, others that have including every time we touched them.
25:56
Speaker 7: There was a foul in the second half, the last
25:58
Speaker 7: play of the game, just to get the ball. They're
26:00
Speaker 7: grabbing us and holding us.
26:01
Speaker 3: Here we go.
26:01
Speaker 7: Okay, and again I understand if you're not calling that,
26:04
Speaker 7: that's fine. You had the exact same play at both
26:06
Speaker 7: ends in the last play of the games.
26:07
Speaker 9: Get the exact same Yeah, that's right, the exact same
26:11
Speaker 9: play slam the table.
26:13
Speaker 7: So I need the new commissioner of the Horizon Lague
26:15
Speaker 7: to explain to me what a.
26:17
Speaker 8: Technical foul is.
26:18
Speaker 7: When I don't leave the box, I don't curse, I
26:20
Speaker 7: not demonstrativity. Okay, there was nothing, nothing, that should have
26:24
Speaker 7: been called a technical foul.
26:25
Speaker 8: I know when I earned one. I did not earn one.
26:27
Speaker 4: There you go, all right.
26:29
Speaker 2: I love that he's I did not curse while he
26:31
Speaker 2: is cursing, which is out outstanding. And that was the highlight.
26:34
Speaker 2: We'll just play the money part here. Listen to Golli.
26:36
Speaker 2: He's slamming the table.
26:38
Speaker 8: The exact same play.

Speaker 2: about a three minute ran really ninety seconds where he
27:03
Speaker 2: worked himself up into a tizzy and then unloaded unloaded
27:08

27:12
Speaker 2: radio show, things not not going that great there.
27:16
Speaker 3: For for Doug, he's doing the doggie play. I want
27:19

Speaker 2: I'll let him know that you appreciate his work.
34:19
Speaker 7: You know, anybody does just the plate right, You know
34:23
Speaker 7: that they put a longer, strong plate on it in
34:28
Speaker 7: the end, the full positions of hundred.
34:32
Speaker 6: Lady, when they ran in a pack of six for more,
34:36
Speaker 6: they ran one hundred and.
34:37
Speaker 1: Ninety one, So that's something.
34:41
Speaker 6: And inevitably does plate right and end up in their.
34:45
Speaker 4: Flap flap flag that's unfortunately befected.
34:51
Speaker 2: He's good God, How do you know he's a good guy? Yeah, well,
35:04
Speaker 2: you know you don't know that for sure. I mean,
35:06
Speaker 2: Jordan's trying to win. You put some people on there
35:08
Speaker 2: just they're they're going to help you win. You might
35:10
Speaker 2: look the other way, right, that happens, and why not?
35:15
Speaker 2: I didn't see Jordan. He was wearing a hat. He
35:16
Speaker 2: didn't look like he had even like the Nike logo
35:18
Speaker 2: on it, or the air or the Jordan logo. It's
35:20
Speaker 2: just like a blank hat that he was wearing. After
35:25
Speaker 2: Nascar is all about logos though it's NonStop logo, but
35:29
Speaker 2: Jordan just had a generic white hat on with no logo.
35:32
Speaker 3: Very odd.
35:33
Speaker 2: You'd think he would have at least his own logo
35:35
Speaker 2: on there, or the Nike logo but nothing, or the
35:38
Speaker 2: Nascars on NASCAR Racing Logos team's logo but no. So

38:12
Speaker 2: Stevie Meatballs, Hansen Umbap from Eileen Tim Rattay guess by
38:19
Speaker 2: Rob in Minnesota?
38:21
Speaker 3: Who else do we have Paige down.
38:25
Speaker 2: JT the wing Man going with Harvey lip Shuts or
38:29
Speaker 2: something like that.
38:30
Speaker 3: I'm not going there.
38:31
Speaker 2: Who else do we have a trojan Man from far
38:34
Speaker 2: out Dave Uh, Paige Dan, We'll skip over that, Tim
38:38
Speaker 2: Biakabatuca from slug Hey Body in Vegas. That's his answer.
38:42
Speaker 2: Hollering James was to blame. According to Mike the Leprechaun,
38:46
Speaker 2: that's his answer. The correct answer would be none other
38:48
Speaker 2: than Bijon Robinson of the Atlanta Falconijon.
38:52
Speaker 3: Robinson, it's maller. How about that?
38:55
Speaker 6: To the third degree, this is.
38:59
Speaker 3: One that gets gulled, all right.
39:05
Speaker 11: Former Star tight End Colorado Star tight End Christian Fourier
39:09
Speaker 11: said that he's tapped out on supporting Dion Sanders Colorado program.
39:13
Speaker 11: I think the last straw for him was his son
39:16
Speaker 11: getting his number retired. But do you think Dion's time
39:20
Speaker 11: is he's on the hot seat there in Colorado.
39:23
Speaker 3: No, because they're they're making money.
39:25
Speaker 2: I think if they keep losing, Dion's not gonna stick
39:27
Speaker 2: around because he doesn't want to be associated with losing.
39:30
Speaker 3: But financially they're viable.
39:31
Speaker 2: They're making a lot of money, and that's ultimately what
39:34
Speaker 2: it's about.
39:35
Speaker 3: If you can't, you want championships every year, but you're
39:37
Speaker 3: gonna make the money. That's what we're doing next.
39:39
Speaker 11: Eli Manning said over the weekend that he can't imagine
39:42
Speaker 11: a more deserving coach for the Hall of Fame than
39:44
Speaker 11: Bill Belichick. Eli himself has been eligible for two years
39:47
Speaker 11: and has not made it in yet. Do you think
39:49
Speaker 11: he makes it next year?
39:50
Speaker 8: No?
39:50
Speaker 11: He should.
39:51
Speaker 2: Eli Manning should be in the Hall of Fame. He's
39:53
Speaker 2: not a Hall of Fame quarterback. He's an average quarterback.
39:55
Speaker 2: He's not Hall of Fame worthy. But he does help
39:57
Speaker 2: Eli Manning if Belichick's in the Hall of Fame, because
40:00
Speaker 2: he beat Belichick twice, and so it's like that's his
40:02
Speaker 2: claim to fame. Other than that, Eli Mannings is really
40:05
Speaker 2: a loser as a quarterback.
40:06
Speaker 11: Next, So the NFL has tried to stop the NFL
40:09
Speaker 11: Players Association from publishing the team report cards. But that
40:12
Speaker 11: did not work, then arbitration would in the players Association's favor.
40:17
Speaker 11: And do you think they should be able to publicize
40:19
Speaker 11: these report cards.
40:20
Speaker 2: Well, they'd have to redo the CBS against the rules
40:23
Speaker 2: of the NFL players signed off. They will not allow that,
40:26
Speaker 2: So it's against the NFL rules. They got to change
40:28
Speaker 2: the rules. But if they do that, sure there it
40:30
Speaker 2: is malle of a third degree
