0:29
Speaker 2: what would owner or why why would our owner Arti
0:33
Speaker 2: Marino keep Mike Trout hog tied in Anaheim?
0:36
Speaker 3: The trade deadline's going to be here before you know it.
0:38
Speaker 2: Also, what message are the Red Sox sending by booting
0:44
Speaker 2: starter Brian Bao to the miners? He got a big contract,
0:50
Speaker 2: Brian Bayo, and he's going to the minor leagues. Also
0:52
Speaker 2: in the NFL, how did Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell sound
0:56
Speaker 2: when he claimed that quarterback JJ McCarthy is handling the
1:01
Speaker 2: Kyler Murray edition really well despite mounds of evidence that
1:06
Speaker 2: is not the case. We'll talk about all that and
1:08
Speaker 2: more right now here. It is our number three. Are
1:15
Speaker 2: you getting kicked out of heaven? You can't get kicked out.
1:18
Speaker 3: Of heaven when You're an angel. You're an angel, right,
1:21
Speaker 3: no welcome.
1:25
Speaker 2: In the beginning of another hour of the Ben Malors Show,
1:30
Speaker 2: we are in the air a rewaere. Yeah, we are
1:38
Speaker 2: key collaborators, You and I. We are crispy outside, warm,
1:45
Speaker 2: inside coast, coast, border to border and beyond on the
1:50
Speaker 2: mast and boudaciously, bodaciously powerful microphones of FSR ammating from
2:01
Speaker 2: the pictures. You know, radio is just like television, only
2:07
Speaker 2: the pictures are better because you got your imagination guaranteed
2:11
Speaker 2: human from the world famous Fox Sports Radio studios, where
2:15
Speaker 2: Charlie d in Minnesota reminds us. This hour made possible
2:19
Speaker 2: in part by our friends at tire Rack. For over
2:22
Speaker 2: forty years, tire Rack has been helping customers like Stretch
2:28
Speaker 2: from Orlando, the guy that works at the pizza shop
2:30
Speaker 2: there in Orlando, find the right tires for how, what
2:33
Speaker 2: and where they drive, ship fast and free back by
2:36
Speaker 2: free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile
2:42
Speaker 2: tire installation tirerac dot com, the way that tire buying
2:48
Speaker 2: should be. Now I say that night, I believe it was.
2:52
Speaker 2: If I'm not mistaken, I think it was Robin. Now,
2:55
Speaker 2: Robin's only called a few times. She lives in southern California,
2:59
Speaker 2: in Ventura. She's a little north of LA It's on
3:02
Speaker 2: the way to Santa Barbara, and she calls every once
3:05
Speaker 2: in a while. She does not like I remember her
3:07
Speaker 2: last call. She told us that she does not like
3:10
Speaker 2: Mike the Leprechaun. And that was the that was the
3:13
Speaker 2: big revelation. So she wants you to know that. This hour,
3:17
Speaker 2: she said, Bet, can you let the people know the
3:19
Speaker 2: nice listeners? Can you let them know about the fine
3:22
Speaker 2: folks that Express Employment Professionals says, you know what, I
3:26
Speaker 2: think we will do that. Because you want us to
3:28
Speaker 2: do it, we will do it, and so we will.
3:31
Speaker 2: And hey, listen, if you're skilled in manufacturing, skip the
3:34
Speaker 2: online job search nightmare. Express Employment Professionals can I skilled machinist, welders,
3:39
Speaker 2: and technicians with contract and full time manufacturing jobs.
3:46
Speaker 3: So check that out. Our lead this hour talking Bay's ball.
3:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, baseball for you, No, you're not excited about that.
3:56
Speaker 3: That's a good story.
3:57
Speaker 2: We'll start out in Anaheim, where the baseball is bad.
4:00
Speaker 2: The content continues to be pretty good. And as I've
4:04
Speaker 2: always said, the better story is in me losing locker room.
4:08
Speaker 2: And so We'll begin with the team that is one
4:10
Speaker 2: of the worst in baseball. As we continue to slowly
4:14
Speaker 2: move ahead in the baseball season, there have been more whispers,
4:18
Speaker 2: in hush tones about the future of Mike Trout at
4:23
Speaker 2: the Big A and will he continue to be the
4:26
Speaker 2: headliner in Anaheim.
4:27
Speaker 3: So if you didn't see this, perhaps not.
4:29
Speaker 2: Now we are told that at this moment, there is
4:32
Speaker 2: no indication that the Angels beloved owner. Is there any
4:37
Speaker 2: owner in sports more love than Arti Marino man, those
4:41
Speaker 2: Angel fans, those moms love them. Keeps the ticket prices down,
4:45
Speaker 2: the food prices.
4:46
Speaker 3: Down, and they don't care about whether the team wins
4:49
Speaker 3: or not.
4:50
Speaker 2: If they started winning, they'd have to raise the prices,
4:52
Speaker 2: and those moms, those housewives of Orange County would have
4:56
Speaker 2: a conniption fit.
4:57
Speaker 3: So Arty really is loved.
4:58
Speaker 2: So Artiy Marina Appeley is not changed his long standing
5:01
Speaker 2: unwillingness to move Mike Trout. The trade deadline this year,
5:05
Speaker 2: I believe it was on August thirty. He's always July
5:07
Speaker 2: thirty first. This year it's on July or August third,
5:10
Speaker 2: August third. So the Halos are currently buried in quicksand
5:16
Speaker 2: as normally as the case. One of the worst teams
5:19
Speaker 2: in baseball, and despite sucking for many, many years over
5:24
Speaker 2: a decade, which means they've had high draft picks for
5:27
Speaker 2: over a decade. Somehow the Angels have managed to do
5:29
Speaker 2: the impossible. They don't seem to have any blue chip
5:33
Speaker 2: minor league players. It's like even dumb luck if you're bad.
5:37
Speaker 2: The Pirates also horrific for years, and a couple of
5:41
Speaker 2: the picks turned out to be good players. You'd think
5:44
Speaker 2: the Angels would have gotten some of those picks, right,
5:46
Speaker 2: but no. So anyway, back to the point, So Mike Trout.
5:51
Speaker 2: By most accounts, he's not hitting for average, but he's
5:53
Speaker 2: had a renaissance Mike Trout compared to what he has
5:59
Speaker 2: been on on the field in recent years. He's still
6:02
Speaker 2: surrounded by mostly turd tacos. But Trout has been healthy
6:06
Speaker 2: and productive this season. He is currently on pace. You know,
6:10
Speaker 2: I love my on pace. I can't get enough of it.
6:14
Speaker 2: He's on pace to hit thirty six dingers, which is
6:17
Speaker 2: not bad.
6:18
Speaker 3: That's not bad.
6:20
Speaker 2: So that is a good jumping off point. Let us
6:23
Speaker 2: discuss the question why why would owner Arti Marino keep
6:28
Speaker 2: Mike Trout hogtied in Anaheim rather than repackage him.
6:35
Speaker 3: For example, the New York Yankees.
6:37
Speaker 2: Just lost Aaron Judge for most likely three months at least,
6:42
Speaker 2: if not the rest of the season, even though the
6:44
Speaker 2: Yankees are saying, oh, he'll.
6:45
Speaker 3: Be back, yeah, yeah, right, two days ago. He's day
6:48
Speaker 3: to day. He's day to day, all right.
6:51
Speaker 2: So to answer the question why Arti Marino would keep
6:54
Speaker 2: Mike Trout where he is, I've got sawdust, Marie calendars,
7:01
Speaker 2: and blimpis and we will combine all of these ingredients together,
7:07
Speaker 2: all of them, and we're gonna have.
7:09
Speaker 3: A chamber of commerce kind of day. That's what we're
7:12
Speaker 3: gonna have. That's exciting, right, No, you're not excited by that, okay.
7:17
Speaker 2: So, first of all, the dance of why is because
7:20
Speaker 2: it's by the book, and it's his book.
7:23
Speaker 3: He's the one I'll talk about, Arty Marino. He wrote
7:25
Speaker 3: the book. And that's why Arti Marino, the owner in Anaheim.
7:29
Speaker 2: Is treating Mike Trout like a dusty family heirloom. He
7:34
Speaker 2: refuses to get rid of it no matter how much.
7:38
Speaker 2: The Angels just rerun the same mistake every season. And
7:42
Speaker 2: the Angels, as I mentioned, have done the impossible. They
7:45
Speaker 2: don't rebuild, they don't reload. They just hoarde rubbish is
7:53
Speaker 2: what they do. It's fascinating, it truly is, and the
8:00
Speaker 2: Angels continue to do. It's the same stubborn playbook they
8:03
Speaker 2: used when Shohei Otani was heading towards free agency and
8:07
Speaker 2: the Angels refused to seriously entertain the many trade offers
8:13
Speaker 2: that were made for Otani. And at the time the Angels,
8:16
Speaker 2: at least that team was competitive. So you can make
8:18
Speaker 2: the argument, okay with Otani, I got it, because they
8:23
Speaker 2: were not a real contender. They were a full contender,
8:26
Speaker 2: but they were legitimately within position to make the playoffs
8:29
Speaker 2: as a wild guard team, and if Otani had used
8:33
Speaker 2: his magic wand and led them, that would have been okay.
8:37
Speaker 3: And so it didn't happen. Now, Mike Trout, the Angels are.
8:42
Speaker 2: Not a contender at all. They're total pretender. So Trout,
8:46
Speaker 2: you look at that. He's also got four years and
8:48
Speaker 2: one hundred and forty eight million dollars left after this season,
8:53
Speaker 2: so that's a big contract, which means.
8:57
Speaker 3: The only certain teams are going to even bother trading
8:59
Speaker 3: for Mike Trout.
9:00
Speaker 2: Yankees, the Phillies, the Dodgers, would absorb that contract. You
9:05
Speaker 2: don't think Tampa Bay or Cleveland or Pittsburgh or any
9:09
Speaker 2: of those teams are gonna do it. I could see
9:12
Speaker 2: the Giants doing something like that, though. That seems like
9:14
Speaker 2: a Giants type move. Just go out and get Mike Trout,
9:18
Speaker 2: put him out in the outfield somewhere, and we'll be okay.
9:21
Speaker 2: So my theory on this, and I've talked about this
9:23
Speaker 2: in previous episodes of the show, my theory is it'll
9:26
Speaker 2: take Mike Trout forcing the issue for this to thrust forward.
9:33
Speaker 2: Miles Garrett in Cleveland was behind the scenes able to
9:38
Speaker 2: force his way out of Cleveland. Go to a legit franchise,
9:41
Speaker 2: a real franchise in the NFL, not a fake franchise
9:43
Speaker 2: like the Browns, and so you're okay, there we go,
9:48
Speaker 2: and you'll make it happen and all that. Trout just
9:51
Speaker 2: doesn't seem interesting. Not that he's a villain. I'm not
9:55
Speaker 2: saying Trout's a villain. He just seems completely satisfied showing up.
10:00
Speaker 2: Go into batting practice, get your four or five at bats,
10:03
Speaker 2: make a couple plays in the outfield, go back to
10:06
Speaker 2: your villa and have a great time looking out at
10:10
Speaker 2: the Pacific Ocean.
10:11
Speaker 3: And that's it.
10:12
Speaker 2: That he's too comfortable. We talk about Chamber of Commerce counterdays.
10:16
Speaker 2: He's too comfortable in Laguna Beach. He's practically the mayor
10:19
Speaker 2: of the Sawdust Festival at this point under those eucalyptus
10:23
Speaker 2: groves and all that. So unless Arti Marino has a
10:28
Speaker 2: sudden epiphany like a change of heart situation here and
10:33
Speaker 2: I buy the chatter that Trout's staying put. He's not
10:37
Speaker 2: going to the Phillies, which is his beloved team he
10:39
Speaker 2: grew up in Jersey's a Phillies guy.
10:41
Speaker 3: Or you're not going to the Mets or the Giants
10:44
Speaker 3: or any of these teams for the foreseeable future.
10:48
Speaker 2: And is polishing the trophy case while the windows stays
10:53
Speaker 2: nailed shut.
10:54
Speaker 3: For the Angels.
10:55
Speaker 2: Talk about Arty Marino now. Meanwhile, to Boston we go.
10:58
Speaker 2: The Red Sox have been bad. Also, a bunch of
11:01
Speaker 2: young Prima donna's there in the Red Sox, and they
11:04
Speaker 2: have decided that the ownership group has said, well, we've
11:08
Speaker 2: had enough. They already fired Alex Korra. That didn't work out.
11:11
Speaker 2: The team still blows. The Red Sox have optioned right
11:14
Speaker 2: handed starting pitcher Brian Bao to the WU Socks. Yeah,
11:20
Speaker 2: that's my team. My favorite TRIPAA team is the WU Socks.
11:23
Speaker 2: Loved that team rolled out the red carpet there at
11:26
Speaker 2: the WU Sox game when we were there for the
11:29
Speaker 2: big Boston Meet and greet so Bao was sent down
11:33
Speaker 2: after he got tattooed by the Baltimore baseball team. He
11:36
Speaker 2: took the loss at eight to two defeat to the
11:39
Speaker 2: Orioles at Finway, and he allowed eight runs in five innings,
11:44
Speaker 2: which I don't think is good, most of it early
11:46
Speaker 2: in the game. Six runs on the first forty pitches
11:50
Speaker 2: in a disastrous, just horrific first inning of pitching. He's
11:55
Speaker 2: twenty seven years old. He's made twelve outings this year.
11:58
Speaker 2: He has a six point three three four ERA A
12:01
Speaker 2: Brian Bayo, I didn't pitch in the major leagues. I
12:03
Speaker 2: have pitched for the WUSS before. That's not good, all right?
12:06
Speaker 2: Question what message? What message are the Red Sox sending
12:12
Speaker 2: by booting ejecting starter Brian.
12:17
Speaker 3: Baow to the minor leagues. So this one is simple.
12:22
Speaker 2: This is no more mister nice guy, No more mister
12:25
Speaker 2: nice guy, not gonna do it.
12:29
Speaker 3: And this is not just a demotion.
12:32
Speaker 2: It's a public service announcement, and I know that I
12:35
Speaker 2: do the overnights. We do a lot of PSAs around here,
12:39
Speaker 2: so it's a public service announcement. The Red Sox have
12:42
Speaker 2: decided they are no longer babysitting. They're done babysitting. Playtime
12:47
Speaker 2: is over in the sandbox at Finway, the front office,
12:52
Speaker 2: it would appear, and they've taken away the little plastic shovels,
12:56
Speaker 2: so you kids can't play with the plastic shovels.
12:58
Speaker 3: Daddy's here.
13:00
Speaker 2: Yeah, time to crack the whip, right, the hall pass
13:02
Speaker 2: has been revoked.
13:04
Speaker 3: However, here's the thing.
13:06
Speaker 2: The reason that this is one of those stories you
13:08
Speaker 2: have to talk about is Brian Bao signed a six year,
13:12
Speaker 2: fifty five million dollar extension back in twenty twenty four.
13:17
Speaker 2: They said, well, that's not one hundred million, that's not
13:19
Speaker 2: two hundred million. It's enough money where you look at
13:23
Speaker 2: that and you say he gave up on the long game.
13:28
Speaker 2: Where if you wait and you bet on yourself, he
13:30
Speaker 2: didn't bet on himself. I always say, these guys that
13:32
Speaker 2: don't bet on themselves, that's a sign to me that
13:36
Speaker 2: there's something a little off there. They take the big payout.
13:40
Speaker 2: They don't bet on themselves anyway, Bo did that. He
13:42
Speaker 2: took fifty five million, which should be enough.
13:44
Speaker 3: To live on. I hope he's okay.
13:46
Speaker 2: I think he can pay for the HOA and all that.
13:48
Speaker 2: In twenty twenty four, the Red Sox assumed he was
13:52
Speaker 2: going to be a core member of the pitching staff,
13:56
Speaker 2: and I remember, I'm pretty sure he was tagged as
13:58
Speaker 2: Baby Pedro. I some of you Red Sox guys baby Pedro,
14:03
Speaker 2: and that nickname can be retired now he's officially flopped.
14:07
Speaker 2: He's twenty seven in his athletic prime, and Bao has
14:11
Speaker 2: an ERA of six point three four and it's even worse.
14:14
Speaker 3: But wait, there's more.
14:15
Speaker 2: As a starter, his earn run average as a starter
14:18
Speaker 2: is ten point three ten point three er.
14:23
Speaker 3: And then there have been some games where they bring in.
14:25
Speaker 2: A opener, which is that like we used to call
14:28
Speaker 2: that the Grapefruit League or the Cactus League, where you
14:30
Speaker 2: just have a pitcher in the first inning and another
14:32
Speaker 2: one to say any in those situations. For some reason,
14:36
Speaker 2: he has a seven zero point seventy to one er
14:40
Speaker 2: in relief. So Baio's a long reliever with a fifty
14:44
Speaker 2: five million dollar contract. That's not what they thought they
14:47
Speaker 2: were getting. And you look around here, as I guess
14:51
Speaker 2: they've said with the rest of like, we're not gonna
14:52
Speaker 2: hug anymore. Hugs have been discontinued, and this is now
14:56
Speaker 2: you better produce.
14:57
Speaker 3: We're into June and Brian Bay.
15:00
Speaker 2: Just became the example saying hey, you other guys, we're
15:05
Speaker 2: gonna send you down to We're gonna send you.
15:07
Speaker 3: Down And not only is this humiliating.
15:10
Speaker 2: For the player, it's obviously a million for the player
15:13
Speaker 2: running the lap of shame. You know, the wus Socks.
15:17
Speaker 2: It's just outside Boston. It's not that far away. Price
15:20
Speaker 2: to live, it's a bit of a commute, but you
15:22
Speaker 2: can live where he's living in Boston and drive out
15:24
Speaker 2: to the Wusocks and all that, and then there's Chattery's only.
15:27
Speaker 3: Going to be there for a little bit.
15:28
Speaker 2: It's an admission though by the ownership group of John
15:32
Speaker 2: Henry that they're a bunch of buffoons. They're a bunch
15:37
Speaker 2: of buffoons. They're getting Uber Eats to deliver some Marie
15:41
Speaker 2: calendars and they've got a little doggie bag and it's
15:45
Speaker 2: filled with pie. Now, is it banana cream pie? Is
15:48
Speaker 2: it apple pie? Is it cherry Pie. No, it says
15:53
Speaker 2: on the label right there. If you didnt, why didn't
15:54
Speaker 2: you read the label humble Pie. So in theory, this
15:58
Speaker 2: move gives Brian Bao a chance to reset in a
16:03
Speaker 2: lower pressure.
16:04
Speaker 3: Environment in Worcester.
16:06
Speaker 2: Now, if he needs any help, I have thrown out
16:09
Speaker 2: a pitch on that field. So if Brian Bao wants
16:12
Speaker 2: any assistance, contact me and I'll be more than happy
16:15
Speaker 2: to give him some pointers. As Mark Mark Kay knows
16:18
Speaker 2: he was there and some of you other boys absolutely
16:21
Speaker 2: killed that first pitch at Polar Park.
16:24
Speaker 3: So I'm ready and I can be his pitching coach.
16:28
Speaker 3: Why not? Why not?
16:30
Speaker 2: So I would expect the vultures. In reality here, I
16:32
Speaker 2: would expect the vultures to come out and try to
16:35
Speaker 2: poach Bao for pennies on the dollar. Rival gms are
16:40
Speaker 2: already outside Finway. They're looking at the Green Monster with
16:43
Speaker 2: coupons and they've got a shopping cart.
16:46
Speaker 3: All right.
16:47
Speaker 2: Last thing, we go to the NFL Minnesota we go
16:49
Speaker 2: where Viking's head coach Kevin O'Connell was asked at OTA's
16:54
Speaker 2: about how quarterback JJ McCarthy has handled the addition of
16:58
Speaker 2: Kyler Murray. The answer, of course is not. Well, that's
17:03
Speaker 2: the answer. He didn't say that, though, didn't say that.
17:08
Speaker 2: He went on a long rant and he said, I
17:10
Speaker 2: think he's handled it really well.
17:12
Speaker 3: He's been great, O'Connell said of.
17:14
Speaker 2: McCarthy and team meetings, spending a little bit more time
17:18
Speaker 2: with those guys, the dialogue between the group, all that stuff.
17:22
Speaker 2: Question for the panel here it is, how did Vikings
17:26
Speaker 2: coach Kevin O'Connell sound when he claimed that the incumbent
17:30
Speaker 2: quarterback JJ McCarthy is handling the addition of alligator arms
17:35
Speaker 2: Kyler Murray really well. So O'Connell sounded like a guy
17:41
Speaker 2: auditioning for regional manager at Blimpy's like that. The man
17:48
Speaker 2: was serving up a nice hogie. It was a fluffer nutter.
17:54
Speaker 2: I am servant fluffer nutters over here. I'm serving fluffer nutters.
17:59
Speaker 2: Come get a flu nutter. Extra marshmallow fluff. Yeah, little
18:04
Speaker 2: peanut butter, just a light bit of peanut butter, and
18:07
Speaker 2: then really thick, really thick marshmallow fluff the fluffer nutter.
18:14
Speaker 3: And laying it on thick. And now he was wearing sunglasses.
18:17
Speaker 2: You know, I like to look at eyes. Where eyes
18:19
Speaker 2: are there's some tells by the eye if you're lying
18:21
Speaker 2: or not. So I couldn't see his eyes O'Connell because
18:25
Speaker 2: he was wearing shades.
18:27
Speaker 3: He was too cool for school. So the words help.
18:30
Speaker 2: He said, the phrase you know, which is a DG situation.
18:36
Speaker 3: Dead give what? Dead give what?
18:39
Speaker 2: And anytime a coach sprinkles you know like it's fresh
18:43
Speaker 2: parmeisana cheese, the coach is telling you.
18:48

Speaker 3: What else do we have to see? Can't read that?
24:29

Speaker 3: stage fright stage is it stage fright?
24:42
Speaker 2: No, it's also not ingrown ingrown toenail guests by Timmy
24:46
Speaker 2: from Busco, Indiana. Or it's a Weezer summer from ice something,
24:51
Speaker 2: bug infestation, donkey sausage all that the correct answer. The
24:56
Speaker 2: correct answer would be none other than her fear of flying.
25:01
Speaker 2: Her fear of flying abo phobia. Isn't that what it's
25:07
Speaker 2: called aviophobia?
25:09
Speaker 3: I believe that's correct. Not w D forty King of
25:12
Speaker 3: the Hill, et cetera from nine oh four Ray or
25:16
Speaker 3: Great whatever.
25:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, that w D forty really does come in handy
25:21
Speaker 2: because when your doors, when your hinges on your doors
25:24
Speaker 2: start sounding weird, it sounds like you have ghosts.
25:27
Speaker 3: And so once you get that WD forty, Oh, is
25:30
Speaker 3: that what causes that? Yes?
25:33
Speaker 2: Yes, most people who hear sounds, it's because you did
25:36
Speaker 2: not put that in your line.
25:38
Speaker 5: But if they actually need an exorcist.
25:41
Speaker 3: Well, we know a guy, all right, we know somebody
25:44
Speaker 3: in the show that can help. Let's go to the phones.
25:45
Speaker 2: Let's say hello to two percent chance, who's in Alabama?
25:50
Speaker 3: Two percent chance. He told the story the other day
25:52
Speaker 3: about as a kid.
25:54
Speaker 2: He got taken to a cockfight in Alabama, although he
25:59
Speaker 2: spent time I'm in New York.
26:00
Speaker 3: He's from Alabama. He's back in Alabama, but he lived
26:03
Speaker 3: in New York. Hello, two chance.
26:06
Speaker 6: Idiots.
26:09
Speaker 7: I appreciate it. This is such a good caller of yours,
26:13
Speaker 7: the one you keep mentioning. I said, I'm mu to
26:15
Speaker 7: the show, so I don't know him. You know, I'm
26:17
Speaker 7: sure you got some geek pockets. Why don't you go
26:20
Speaker 7: bail this dude out of jail?
26:23
Speaker 2: Well, as you know, I like to let justice play out,
26:25
Speaker 2: and it's possible Ferg Dog is guilty.
26:28
Speaker 3: I want to see how this all plays out.
26:32
Speaker 2: I will contact my attorney, though, and we will. We
26:35
Speaker 2: will proceed if we have to. We will proceed if
26:38
Speaker 2: we have to. Two percent chance. Ferg Dog is a
26:41
Speaker 2: staple of the show, and I believe no justice, no peace.
26:46
Speaker 2: And I'm a little concerned at how blind Scott acted there.
26:49
Speaker 2: I don't know what's going on with that. He sounded
26:51
Speaker 2: like someone that had things to hide. I don't know
26:53
Speaker 2: why he would have anything to hide, but worried about that, concerned.
26:59
Speaker 7: I like to hear him, and uh, I know how
27:01
Speaker 7: he got the cell phone in jail. My brother did
27:03
Speaker 7: some uh prison time in Upstate New York. Uh he
27:07
Speaker 7: had a little rough stretch in his early twenties.
27:11
Speaker 6: Uh.
27:12
Speaker 7: I want to elaborate how he how well he didn't
27:15
Speaker 7: specifically do it, but how other people get cell phones
27:17
Speaker 7: in but uh, it's not a comfortable ride from the
27:22
Speaker 7: county jail to the upstate prisons if you can.
27:27
Speaker 2: The prison wallet and yeah, yeah, gotta sit on your
27:32
Speaker 2: side a little bit.
27:33
Speaker 5: I think that being said, though, I have a I
27:35
Speaker 5: have a buddy that prison wallet. You've never have a
27:38
Speaker 5: prison wallet anyway, Uh, I have a buddy.
27:42
Speaker 3: Be careful googling it on a work computer, but yeah,
27:45
Speaker 3: go ahead, I.
27:45
Speaker 5: Have a buddy that was just in jail. Oh yeah,
27:48
Speaker 5: and I think it was a prison I don't know,
27:50
Speaker 5: but anyway that he had like a tablet in there, like.
27:54
Speaker 3: Not one that he had to sneak in the you
27:56
Speaker 3: just like.
27:58
Speaker 2: Really, yeah, think prison would be bad if I had
28:01
Speaker 2: an internet, right, I don't really move around much anyway,
28:05
Speaker 2: so I think that would be great.
28:06
Speaker 7: You know, you know what the prisons in jails have
28:10
Speaker 7: now to uh combat this. They have got this chair
28:14
Speaker 7: that you sit in and it x rayed. You in
28:17
Speaker 7: anything magnetic.
28:19
Speaker 6: It'll pick up.
28:20
Speaker 7: So if there's anything get inside them, you know your recomeria,
28:25
Speaker 7: it will find it.
28:27
Speaker 5: So you just you're stuck to the chair. You can't
28:29
Speaker 5: get up.
28:31
Speaker 7: You just sit down and it'll show everything.
28:36
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think that they're still getting guys. We've
28:38
Speaker 2: had called mother guy in was it Wyoming? And when
28:41
Speaker 2: Montana that used to call from prison. He was giving
28:43
Speaker 2: a phone though that guy, yeah it was he loved
28:46
Speaker 2: Eddie King Eddie. And then as soon as he got
28:49
Speaker 2: out of jail he called he called this guy with
28:51
Speaker 2: this guy from I think it was Montana, Wyoming.
28:52
Speaker 3: He called up from jail because he had some he
28:55
Speaker 3: had insomnie.
28:56
Speaker 2: He couldn't sleep, so they give him a phone to
28:57
Speaker 2: play with at night, and he called in the show.
29:00
Speaker 2: And then as soon as he got out of the
29:01
Speaker 2: jail he stopped calling. One time he called, that's it
29:04
Speaker 2: so bitter about that.
29:06
Speaker 7: So he had a correctional officer helping him out, so
29:08
Speaker 7: he had an inside source.
29:11
Speaker 2: But when these guys are low level, like you know,
29:15
Speaker 2: I don't know, I just feel like if there's long
29:16
Speaker 2: as they're gonna riot or anything like that, Now you
29:18
Speaker 2: have to limit what they can look at. But whatever,
29:23
Speaker 2: anything else, two percent chance anything else at all.
29:26
Speaker 3: That is, you got just a little hot prison talk.
29:31
Speaker 7: I had a Russell Wilson take, but it'll take me
29:33
Speaker 7: too darn long to get to it.
29:35
Speaker 3: All right, but we'll say it, but wait for next week.
29:39
Speaker 3: Why a golfer?
29:40
Speaker 7: What is a golfer and a magician? Uh? What does
29:48
Speaker 7: a golfer and a magician both love? What are the
29:51
Speaker 7: what is the one thing they have in common that
29:53
Speaker 7: they both love?
29:54
Speaker 3: This is a great jobs golfer and a magician, well said,
29:57
Speaker 3: a professional love.
30:00
Speaker 7: A hat trick?

Speaker 2: Let's go, Let's go to Andrew in Bakersfield, California.
30:17
Speaker 6: Hello Andrew, Hello Ben, Hey, thanks for reading me the oath.
30:25

Speaker 6: the show on iHeart and I said, hey, you know
30:31
Speaker 6: who call the show? And they did and it muted

Speaker 6: the show right. But when I was on there was
30:38
Speaker 6: a delay after what you said, So I understand your
