0:00
Speaker 1: Bingo. It's our numb bertwo. Not the same old, same
0:05
Speaker 1: old no, no. We are about to risk life and
0:09
Speaker 1: limb in our number two of the podcast. It's the
0:11
Speaker 1: Ben Maler Show. You knew that already. It's the MLB
0:14
Speaker 1: Power Hour. You make the call. Who does the three
0:17
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty five million dollar bonus favor more Vladimir
0:21
Speaker 1: Guro Junior or the Blue Jays Big news in baseball.
0:26
Speaker 1: Also Tiascar Hernandez claimed that he was not making an excuse,
0:31
Speaker 1: but he chalked up the sputtering Dodgers road trip to
0:34
Speaker 1: not being used to playing in the cold weather. How
0:38
Speaker 1: do you process this? And is Yankee outfielder Cody Bellinger's
0:43
Speaker 1: chicken wing ban of five years an overreaction or a
0:48
Speaker 1: smart move. We'll get to all of that. It is
0:52
Speaker 1: the center of attention right now. It's our number two,
0:57
Speaker 1: the Bonus Baby, and then some welcome in the beginning
1:04
Speaker 1: of another hour of the Ben Malor Show. We are
1:07
Speaker 1: in the air everywhere. Just listen and relax as you
1:15
Speaker 1: can expect hilarity within unless it doesn't happen, and then
1:20
Speaker 1: you're screwed. Coast to coast, border, the border and beyond
1:23
Speaker 1: on the mass and rhythmically powerful microphones of FSR and
1:29
Speaker 1: mon neating live from the Cannon Fire the Confetti Cannon
1:37
Speaker 1: of Fun. We're broadcasting live from the tyraq dot com
1:40
Speaker 1: studios tyraq dot com. We'll help you get there in
1:43
Speaker 1: unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free road hazard protection, and
1:48
Speaker 1: over ten thousand recommended in stars. Big Greg and Iowa
1:53
Speaker 1: agrees with that number ten thousand tiraq dot com the
1:56
Speaker 1: way tire buying should be. So if you were to
1:58
Speaker 1: make like a Mallard Militia offensive line, I'd have Robbie
2:04
Speaker 1: the Mariner fan would be my left tackle. I'd have
2:06
Speaker 1: Big Greg as like my right tackle. And there was
2:10
Speaker 1: a listener forget his name. He was in the in Missouri.
2:12
Speaker 1: He makes bullets all night. He would be on the
2:14
Speaker 1: offensive line. He'd beat my starting center. So I need
2:17
Speaker 1: like two more offensive linemen, and then I'm pretty sure
2:22
Speaker 1: we could beat the Carolina Panthers. We'd have the most
2:25
Speaker 1: dominant offensive line, large and in charge. Large, maybe Eugene
2:30
Speaker 1: in Chicago. We could probably put Eugenie in there somewhere
2:33
Speaker 1: on the offensive line. But listen, we've got the size.
2:37
Speaker 1: We have the size. We've got physicality. But our lead
2:41
Speaker 1: this hour is from Toronto. Oh. Now, you don't hear
2:48
Speaker 1: a lot of conversation about the Blue Jays on sports radio.
2:52
Speaker 1: Why would you? Why would you? But we go places
2:56
Speaker 1: other people don't go because we are not the mainstream.
2:59
Speaker 1: We are on at hours which are unholy, so we
3:02
Speaker 1: can go places other people don't go. Now we have
3:04
Speaker 1: a better understanding of the massive implications of the big
3:11
Speaker 1: payday that happened a few days ago. A stutter from
3:16
Speaker 1: up north the bird's nest as Vladimir Garrero Junior. You
3:21
Speaker 1: know by now that he landed a five hundred million
3:25
Speaker 1: dollar deal with the Blue Jays. However, it is interesting
3:31
Speaker 1: to note that the fine print is what really stands
3:34
Speaker 1: out about this contract. Now, we had heard there was
3:36
Speaker 1: no deferred money, and there is no deferred money. Now,
3:40
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've heard the news here. Maybe not,
3:42
Speaker 1: But we have learned now through the magnifying glass and
3:47
Speaker 1: reading the minutia of the contract and not turning away,
3:51
Speaker 1: we have learned that Vlatti Guerrero Junior's contract includes a
3:56
Speaker 1: three hundred and twenty five million dollar dollars signing bonus three.
4:03
Speaker 1: Let me repeat that, three hundred and twenty five million
4:07
Speaker 1: as a signing bonst the one hundred and seventy five
4:10
Speaker 1: million that's remaining that would be paid as an actual salary.
4:14
Speaker 1: So to rephrase that again for those of you a
4:16
Speaker 1: little slow, the Toronto baseball team will pay their first basement.
4:23
Speaker 1: They'll pay out sixty five percent of Guerrero's contract in
4:28
Speaker 1: a signing bonus. Now that is a sight to behold. Now,
4:31
Speaker 1: both the bonus and the salary will be sent out
4:35
Speaker 1: in annual installments, kind of like when you win some
4:41
Speaker 1: contests and they pay you a year after year. But
4:44
Speaker 1: he'll get a big fat check for the bonus, big
4:46
Speaker 1: fat check for the salary over the next fourteen years,
4:51
Speaker 1: next fourteen years. So let us discuss the question we're
4:55
Speaker 1: gonna play. You make the call, I love you make
4:58
Speaker 1: the call. You make the call. Who does the three
5:03
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty five million dollars signing bonus favor more?
5:08
Speaker 1: You can only pick one, Vladimir Guerrero Junior or the team,
5:12
Speaker 1: the Blue Jays. You make the call. Who gets more
5:16
Speaker 1: out of this? Is it the player or is it
5:18
Speaker 1: the team? Now my observation, I've got triggeration, the gap
5:26
Speaker 1: band and embargo and we will combine all of these
5:31
Speaker 1: things together. We will lock them together like lego blocks.
5:35
Speaker 1: Is what we're going to do. So numb burne, Can
5:39
Speaker 1: I get a numb burn mine? All right? Based on
5:44
Speaker 1: a minutes long Mallard deliberation in the jury box, the
5:48
Speaker 1: arrow is pointing firmly at Vladimir Guerrero Junior. And it's
5:53
Speaker 1: not even close. Now, I heard some of you knuckleheads.
5:57
Speaker 2: You know, the blue Jemers.
5:58
Speaker 1: Are gonna save money. It's not gonna go against the
6:01
Speaker 1: salary cap because it's it's not gonna be the luxury tax.
6:04
Speaker 1: It's good for them. Yeah, you were telling me there's
6:06
Speaker 1: a there's some kind of loophole. There's a loophole. Ben
6:10
Speaker 1: This is what this is what everyone's gonna be doing.
6:12
Speaker 1: They're gonna get around the luxury tax. Well, turns out
6:15
Speaker 1: that is the B word bogus capital b bogus, capital
6:21
Speaker 1: b bogus. The signing bonus is included in the average
6:27
Speaker 1: annual value in terms of how they document the luxury tax,
6:32
Speaker 1: meaning that Vladimir Garro Junior's annual luxury tax hit will
6:37
Speaker 1: still be thirty five point seven million dollars. Even No,
6:43
Speaker 1: he's not going to be paid based on the actual
6:46
Speaker 1: salary part of it. That so the winner is Vladdie
6:50
Speaker 1: by a country mile, and what he is doing with
6:54
Speaker 1: his representation here upon further review, is tricker to avoid
7:02
Speaker 1: the tax collector. Now, I've seen a lot of stories written,
7:04
Speaker 1: these these think pieces, these bleeding hard stories about how
7:08
Speaker 1: what a great story this is for the Toronto baseball
7:11
Speaker 1: team native Canadian Vladimir Guerrero Junior, who was born in Montreal.
7:16
Speaker 1: I believe his dad was playing for the Expos, and
7:18
Speaker 1: now here he is, and he wants to stay in Canada. Well,
7:22
Speaker 1: spoiler Albert alert, spoiler alert, turns out that Vladimir Guiro
7:25
Speaker 1: Junior actually resides in Florida. And those of you who
7:31
Speaker 1: live in Florida love to remind me and love to
7:34
Speaker 1: point out how much better you have it than I
7:36
Speaker 1: do living in California, because you live in a state
7:39
Speaker 1: without income tax, which means if you're a baseball player
7:44
Speaker 1: and you're getting a massive amount of money sent your way,
7:49
Speaker 1: you will then have to have the honor of being
7:51
Speaker 1: able to avoid paying state tax on the bonus, which
7:56
Speaker 1: will generate millions and millions in value added to the contract.
8:04
Speaker 1: So you put your residence in a state that does
8:09
Speaker 1: not have state income text, like, think about that. Oh
8:13
Speaker 1: my god, do you imagine places where they don't app
8:16
Speaker 1: they don't try to gouge you on everything. I can't
8:19
Speaker 1: believe those places exist. Now people have also said this
8:23
Speaker 1: is a lottery situation for Vladimir Guerrero Junior. And while
8:28
Speaker 1: the three hundred plus million dollars does appear to be
8:31
Speaker 1: a lottery, it's it doesn't even justify that. That is
8:35
Speaker 1: not the right phrasing of it. So I looked it up.
8:38
Speaker 1: I did the research. Do you know in the history
8:41
Speaker 1: because he plays in Canada, So in the history of
8:43
Speaker 1: Canadian lotteries, going all the way back to the start
8:47
Speaker 1: of those Canadian lotteries, there have been no instances of
8:51
Speaker 1: a single jackpot reaching three hundred million. In fact, the
8:56
Speaker 1: biggest jackpot they've ever had in the Canadian lotteries is
8:59
Speaker 1: seventy million. So Vlad's getting three hundred and twenty five
9:05
Speaker 1: overall five hundred but three and twenty five signing bonus.
9:09
Speaker 1: And even in the United States, where they have had
9:11
Speaker 1: lotteries going back to what the early nineties, and that's
9:15
Speaker 1: a fair amount of time, that's a lot of money
9:18
Speaker 1: invested by people that they lost their money bet on
9:20
Speaker 1: the lottery. But since the beginning of the lottery system,
9:24
Speaker 1: there have been a total of sixty six sixty six
9:29
Speaker 1: separate jackpots over three hundred, three hundred or more, thirty
9:34
Speaker 1: five in Powerball, thirty one in Mega Millions, So I
9:39
Speaker 1: would expect some combination of this, along with the sho
9:43
Speaker 1: Heo Tani contract to be the new normal. This does
9:48
Speaker 1: not help the team as much. The sho Heo Tani
9:52
Speaker 1: deal helps the team, and I support it because it
9:54
Speaker 1: screws over the evil tax losers, the scumbag politicians in California,
9:59
Speaker 1: so fully support that absolutely. And the CBA in baseball
10:06
Speaker 1: does not restrict though the amount a team can include
10:09
Speaker 1: any signing bonus, just like it doesn't limit the amount
10:11
Speaker 1: of money you can have in deferred payments. So we'll
10:15
Speaker 1: see what happens going forward now, Page two to the
10:18
Speaker 1: Big Blue Wreck not wrecking crew wreck the Dodgers. They
10:22
Speaker 1: didn't get a win. They wrapped up the road trip
10:24
Speaker 1: a losing road trip with a matinee win over the
10:29
Speaker 1: Washington Nationals as they finally got by that natitude on Wednesday,
10:36
Speaker 1: But there was an interesting quote a quote, interesting quote
10:39
Speaker 1: that came out of the mouth of Tiascar Hernandez, that
10:43
Speaker 1: is a baseball player for the Dodgers, outfielder, got some
10:47
Speaker 1: swag to him, got some rasmatash ti Oscar Hernandez. So
10:50
Speaker 1: Tiascar Hernandez claimed he prefaced this by saying, I'm not
10:56
Speaker 1: making an excuse, but up the Dodgers sputtering road trip
11:03
Speaker 1: where they lost both series to Philadelphia and Washington. He
11:07
Speaker 1: said the reason that they had some issues on the
11:09
Speaker 1: road was quote not being used to playing in the
11:12
Speaker 1: cold weather. So how exactly do you process that particular quote.
11:18
Speaker 1: The Dodgers had problems on the road because they were
11:22
Speaker 1: not used to playing in cold weather. So this is
11:26
Speaker 1: face palm worthy, right, I mean it is right there.
11:29
Speaker 1: Face palm worthy is what it is.
11:31
Speaker 2: Now.
11:32
Speaker 1: Tiasra claimed that again he wasn't making an excuse and
11:35
Speaker 1: then made an excuse. And as you know from listening
11:40
Speaker 1: to the show, there's two things you should know by
11:42
Speaker 1: listening to this show. The first thing you should know
11:45
Speaker 1: is that the term best means as good as all
11:47
Speaker 1: the rest, Right, That's what that means. The second thing
11:50
Speaker 1: is everything a person says before the word butt is
11:53
Speaker 1: a lie. When you say, I'm not making an excuse,
11:57
Speaker 1: but liar, liar, that's it right, So time to go
12:02
Speaker 1: nineteen eighties funk the Gap band. You dropped a bomb
12:08
Speaker 1: on me. And here's a truth Bob, all right, truth Bob,
12:10
Speaker 1: Truth Bob, truth Bob. Every cold weather team, whether they
12:16
Speaker 1: be on the in the Northeast or the upper Midwest,
12:20
Speaker 1: every cold weather team in baseball has a common bond.
12:24
Speaker 1: It's something they share with every team that plays in
12:26
Speaker 1: a dome or a West coast city, the grapefruit and
12:33
Speaker 1: the cacti, or go spring training. Every player, even if
12:38
Speaker 1: they're in cold weather, they're not used to the cold weather.
12:41
Speaker 1: They just spent the last month and a half from
12:43
Speaker 1: mid February until late March in the sunny and mild
12:48
Speaker 1: conditions of Florida and Arizona. I mentioned the other night
12:52
Speaker 1: I was watching the Red Sox Blue Jays game a
12:54
Speaker 1: couple of nights ago, and it looked like the Red
12:57
Speaker 1: Sox were preparing to rob a bank or a convenience
13:01
Speaker 1: store the way they were out there all dry. I mean,
13:03
Speaker 1: it was wild. It was like they're playing in the Arctic,
13:07
Speaker 1: and that's a cold weather team or not. But this
13:09
Speaker 1: is about the Dodgers is just pathetic. And last I checked,
13:13
Speaker 1: when you get to the World Series, chances are going
13:17
Speaker 1: to be playing in a cold weather city in the
13:19
Speaker 1: American League, and chances are pretty good that it will
13:23
Speaker 1: be frigid as you dance around the diamond at that point. Now,
13:26
Speaker 1: speaking of a cold weather city, that wasn't the World
13:28
Speaker 1: Series final point to the Boogey doown Bronx we go
13:32
Speaker 1: where the New York Yankees and outfielder Cody Bellinger making
13:36
Speaker 1: some rather odd headlines here. I don't know if you
13:38
Speaker 1: saw this or not. Bellinger missed some time recently moves
13:42
Speaker 1: out of the Yankee lineup because of a meal gone bad. Oh.
13:48
Speaker 1: Bellinger now has publicly sworn off chicken wings for five
13:54
Speaker 1: years because he got food poisoning at a motor City
13:59
Speaker 1: hotel well eating said chicken wings. So question here we go,
14:07
Speaker 1: is Cody Bellinger's chicken wing band an overreaction or a
14:13
Speaker 1: smart move? So I have it as neither a smart
14:18
Speaker 1: move or an overreaction. I have it as hyperbolate, is
14:23
Speaker 1: what I have it as. Do not believe Bellinger. I
14:27
Speaker 1: don't believe him. He's saying it got some headlines. Don't
14:32
Speaker 1: believe him. He will not follow and honor the embargo.
14:36
Speaker 1: He will not do it. There will be wings in
14:40
Speaker 1: the man's belly within the rest of the baseball season.
14:44
Speaker 1: How about that. I don't believe him. Now, I am
14:47
Speaker 1: not a wing guy. I know that the chicken finger
14:49
Speaker 1: is better than the wing. My favorite are the Ben
14:52
Speaker 1: Mallard chicken fingers at the Landing in Liberty, Missouri. That
14:57
Speaker 1: is my go to for the chicken fingers, wings chicken fingers. However,
15:02
Speaker 1: I realize that there are many that are a passionate
15:06
Speaker 1: lover of the wing, the chicken, wing, bock chicken, and
15:10
Speaker 1: you will eat them all the time. Now, if you
15:14
Speaker 1: love the wing. The part of this which really is
15:18
Speaker 1: messed up. It appears that the Bellinger said he was
15:22
Speaker 1: eating no frills wings, basic biach wings, no sauce, bare bones. Now,
15:31
Speaker 1: this is the age old food conundrum that you have.
15:35
Speaker 1: If you have a job where you travel and you
15:38
Speaker 1: don't have access to a kitchen, you're then at the
15:42
Speaker 1: mercy of whoever is preparing your food. It's risky business
15:46
Speaker 1: and most of the time you eat out, everything will
15:49
Speaker 1: be fine. But that one time the person the line
15:53
Speaker 1: cook in the back has smoked a little too much weed,
15:56
Speaker 1: and they weren't paying attention, and they forgot to cook
16:00
Speaker 1: your food the proper way, and so you get some
16:02
Speaker 1: sal salmonilla, that kind of thing. Now, I've had food
16:06
Speaker 1: poisoning twice in my life. Have you had food poison
16:08
Speaker 1: I've had food poisoning twice in my life. I once
16:11
Speaker 1: ate a bad ballpark hot dog and I was I
16:15
Speaker 1: was really messed up from that. That lasted. I had
16:19
Speaker 1: the old dysentery there, and then I had the Crazy
16:23
Speaker 1: Chicken restaurant right across the street from work. I ate
16:26
Speaker 1: there and also did not cook the chicken properly. And yeah,
16:32
Speaker 1: but spoiler alert, spoiler alert, Yeah, I still eat the
16:36
Speaker 1: hot dog, the Frankfurter, the wiener, and and the chicken.
16:41
Speaker 1: I still eat chicken box chicken, a lot of it,
16:44
Speaker 1: tried and true. My boycott lasted at the most, I
16:48
Speaker 1: don't remember exactly, at the most a couple of a
16:54
Speaker 1: couple of months, and I was back. It is the
16:57
Speaker 1: Ben Mallard Show. If you'd like to be back with us,
17:00
Speaker 1: you can join us at eighty seven seven ninety nine
17:03
Speaker 1: on Fox. That's eight seven seven nine nine six sixty
17:06
Speaker 1: three sixty nine, also on X at Ben Mahler. That's
17:11
Speaker 1: at Ben Mahler if you'd like to be part of
17:13
Speaker 1: the show. Well, father really does know best. Father knows best,
17:19
Speaker 1: and that is no joke. We'll get to that and
17:24
Speaker 1: we will do it.
17:27
Speaker 3: Next.
17:27
Speaker 1: Ripman says, who the hell is going to airlift Robbie
17:31
Speaker 1: the Mariner fan into that offensive line? Well, that's a
17:34
Speaker 1: low blow, Ribman, that is a low blow. I think
17:37
Speaker 1: Justin and Cincinnati will give Robbie a piggyback ride out
17:41
Speaker 1: to the offensive line. And we have another selection for
17:45
Speaker 1: the offensive line. That would be big Rig rob who
17:48
Speaker 1: says he's willing. He thinks he's the center, and we
17:51
Speaker 1: have to move our buddy who makes bullets all night.
17:54
Speaker 1: We have to move him to guard because big Rig
17:56
Speaker 1: Robb says he's a center, he's a six five two
17:59
Speaker 1: seventy four, and nobody on the Panthers is pushing him around.
18:04
Speaker 1: So Rob has submitted his application to be on the
18:08
Speaker 1: offensive line. And not against that, not against that at all.
18:14
Speaker 1: I think what we got serious. Sean will be on
18:16
Speaker 1: the special teams. I think that's probably right there. We'll
18:18
Speaker 1: put who else is on the special teams. We've got
18:20
Speaker 1: Marcel and Brooklyn. We've got Blair and Maine. He'll be
18:25
Speaker 1: on there as well. I think Terry in England, I
18:31
Speaker 1: don't think he'll be on the team. He might be
18:32
Speaker 1: on the coaching staff. He might be on the coaching staff.
18:36
Speaker 1: King Rory writes in regarding the Top of the Hour
18:38
Speaker 1: male monologue, he says, the real question is for Cody Bellinger.
18:42
Speaker 1: Does this ban on chicken wings include boneless wings? Great question,
18:48
Speaker 1: great question?
18:48
Speaker 4: Now where I come from, boneless wings are nuggets.
18:51
Speaker 1: That's correct. The boneless wing is a nugget. The boneless
18:55
Speaker 1: wing is not an actual wing. If there's no bone,
18:59
Speaker 1: there's no win and it's just a big ball of meat.
19:03
Speaker 1: That's all it is, juicy, delicious meat, right there. Wonderful man.
19:10
Speaker 1: All right, Jeff right, a fun fact, Ben, Oh you
19:13
Speaker 1: have a fun Well we only if you play this
19:15
Speaker 1: sounder only.
19:17
Speaker 2: One fact.
19:18
Speaker 1: Now you're allowed to do a fun fact. Here we go.
19:20
Speaker 2: I believe that.
19:23
Speaker 5: The meat nuggets, like the meat and the holess ones,
19:27
Speaker 5: they're already technically pre cooked too.
19:30
Speaker 1: So yeah, well, most it depends what you buy, but
19:35
Speaker 1: a lot of what you buy is pre cooked.
19:37
Speaker 4: Yeah, and at the at the restaurants too.
19:40
Speaker 1: Oh really, yeah, I'm pretty sure, all right, Jeff Wright,
19:43
Speaker 1: sinceys back in the day, there used to be a
19:45
Speaker 1: steakhouse named Sizzler. Yeah, there's still some. There's not many around,
19:50
Speaker 1: there's still some. I think I think there's still some,
19:52
Speaker 1: says our family ate there often. Jeff says, one weekend
19:57
Speaker 1: I got food poisoning. I swore off the restaurant. I
20:00
Speaker 1: think it's been a solid twenty five years since I
20:02
Speaker 1: ate there. I'm not sure they are still in business.
20:05
Speaker 1: There are some, but they're not not many, not many.
20:11
Speaker 1: Ryan Rights in from San Diego. He says, listen to
20:14
Speaker 1: your rant last night on the Lakers being done. I
20:17
Speaker 1: see a resemblance to when predicting the Lakers downfall and
20:20
Speaker 1: Poppy picks. He says, very similar. I think that he met.
20:23
Speaker 1: My prediction was like Poppy's picks. Poppy who's now a
20:27
Speaker 1: former caller to the show. He's retired from the show. Well, Ryan,
20:30
Speaker 1: first of all, you're dead wrong. I'm looking at the
20:34
Speaker 1: long game, not the short game. You're doing the short game.
20:38
Speaker 1: I'm doing the long game. And the Lakers are done.
20:41
Speaker 1: And even last night the game in Dallas not good trailing.
20:46
Speaker 1: I couldn't name more than two guys playing for the
20:50
Speaker 1: Mavericks and they had the lead in the fourth quarter.
20:53
Speaker 1: That is embarrassing. Oh, but the Lakers are so good. Yeah,
20:58
Speaker 1: you're trailing Ricks and they have suck bag players all
21:02
Speaker 1: over the court. They hate each other, and you're losing
21:06
Speaker 1: to that team in the fourth quarter, and the crowd
21:08
Speaker 1: is in enough people and they're all cheering for the
21:10
Speaker 1: for the Purple and Gold, and all that's embarrassing. It's embarrassing,
21:14
Speaker 1: is what it is. Uh Trucker Joel points out that
21:17
Speaker 1: we must have Fats that he should play right tackle. Now,
21:21
Speaker 1: I have Fats as a nose tackle, like I think
21:23
Speaker 1: Fats is a very aggressive human being. Will put Fats
21:26
Speaker 1: from Philadelphia right in the middle of our defensive side
21:31
Speaker 1: in case anyone tries to run the tush push, Fats
21:34
Speaker 1: will actually shove his tush into their tush and it'll
21:38
Speaker 1: be amazing. It'll be very successful. All right' sco the
21:41
Speaker 1: phones and let's say hello to Jed who fled, who's
21:46

35:55
Speaker 1: ghost Hunter said Blind Scott and Jed who fled radio goal. Well,
36:00
Speaker 1: not everyone agreed with that. Danny Doyle gets by BP
36:04
Speaker 1: Razor ramone from Steve the misplaced San Diegan legend, Gene
36:09
Speaker 1: Harris from Big Rig Rob. That's his answer, Joe Morgan
36:13
Speaker 1: from Johnny Q. Do you have an answer, Lorraine Ronald Weasley?
36:18
Speaker 1: Ben Wow, Okay, I know the correct answer is a
36:23
Speaker 1: fine Canadian lad Larry Walker with the ninety seven here?
36:32
Speaker 1: How about that?
36:33
Speaker 2: To the third degree? This is one big Ben gets grilled.
36:41
Speaker 1: Cool down loop justin.
36:44
Speaker 4: Ben with the revelation that breest Haul's workload in New
36:46
Speaker 4: York will be dramatically reduced, Apparently they're going to go
36:49
Speaker 4: with a three running back scheme. Some speculated that a
36:52
Speaker 4: trade could be in the works. Ben, where do you
36:54
Speaker 4: think the best landing spot for Hall would be?
36:58
Speaker 1: Well, the Pittsburgh Steelers would not be bad. I mean,
37:03
Speaker 1: he doesn't have that much value because even though he's
37:05
Speaker 1: deemed to be a pretty good player, he's a running back, right,
37:08
Speaker 1: and so if you if you look at the way
37:11
Speaker 1: this all breaks down, there's not a ton there. I mean,
37:16
Speaker 1: you're there are teams that would would acquire, but it's
37:20
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, Pittsburgh because they don't really fill that void.
37:23
Speaker 1: There's some talk they're gonna get a running back to
37:24
Speaker 1: Cowboys need some help in the running back position.
37:27
Speaker 4: Next, with Taylor Jenkins and Michael Malone both being fired
37:31
Speaker 4: before the end of the NBA season, who do you
37:33
Speaker 4: think will be the first coach to go once it's
37:34
Speaker 4: over all?
37:36
Speaker 1: Right, So you look for somebody that has high expectations
37:39
Speaker 1: that will likely not live up to those high expectations
37:42
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, right, So I'm gonna go Doc Rivers.
37:44
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Doc Rivers way in doubt. Throw Doc Rivers'
37:48
Speaker 1: name out. Uh and Bucks are okay, you know obviously
37:52
Speaker 1: in the playoffs and all that, but Doc will screws
37:55
Speaker 1: something up. He always does.
37:56
Speaker 4: Next, Ben, what has been the biggest surprise for you
37:59
Speaker 4: so far in this young twenty twenty five MLB season.
38:02
Speaker 1: Well, the biggest surprise is that it's April ninth and
38:04
Speaker 1: you're asking me the biggest surprises in the baseball season?
38:07
Speaker 1: Could we might have been played like it hardly any
38:09
Speaker 1: games at all. But I would say the Orioles off
38:12
Speaker 1: to a terrible start. I thought they'd be better in
38:14
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Braves that's those are the obvious ones. What's
38:17
Speaker 1: going on with them? And how did we do?
38:19
Speaker 4: Not the Dodgers being in third you fail.
38:22
Speaker 1: The Dodgers are ten and four. They have a seven
38:24
Speaker 1: hundred winning percent. Your third place flunny mine third place,
38:27
Speaker 1: you're a loser. You're you're. The Ages are in first place.
38:31
Speaker 1: The Ages have a worst record.
