00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: of the program. That is the part I love. Some

89
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: of you are claiming you did not hear the answer

90
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: to the who am I game? I don't know how

91
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,479
Speaker 1: that could be. So for those of you that are

92
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: sending me nasty messages and complaining, clearly it's a you problem.

93
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 1: It can't be a meat problem. I never make any

94
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,599
Speaker 1: errors at all here, So I don't know what happened.

95
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,799
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe the watch and McCall it stopped working,

96
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: or the thing of a jig.

97
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 2: I don't know.

98
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,039
Speaker 1: But for those of you that were listening last hour,

99
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: the question was if the Seahawks win and cover, Sam

100
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 1: Darnold will joined me as the only starting quarterbacks in

101
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: the last twenty five years to be on a team

102
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: that covered a Super Bowl point spread by over four points.

103
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 2: The spread is anywhere from four and a half to

104
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 2: five right now. Answer to that.

105
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 1: The only other quarterback the last generation to cover a

106
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 1: spread of over four points in the super Bowl. That

107
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: would be Peyton Manning. That's it, So Peyton Manning. So

108
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 1: I mean you might want to fix your hearing aid.

109
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: If you didn't hear that answer, I don't know why

110
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: you would you not. But our lead this hour is

111
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 1: from Motown. We go to Motown where the music hasn't

112
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: been good in a while, and the Tigers have decided

113
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: to make a splish splash.

114
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 2: In free agency. Say what you're talking baseball? It's Super Bowl.

115
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 2: I'm telling you.

116
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: This is how dull these teams are, the Patriots and

117
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 1: the Seahawks. We're talking about Detroit Tiger baseball baby. Because

118
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 1: some news came out, We've learned that a this is

119
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: a follow up to a mile of monologue that we

120
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 1: gave you the other day. Free agent pitcher frambur Valdez,

121
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:53,919
Speaker 1: late of the cheating as rose and he has agreed

122
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 1: to terms with the Detroit Tigers on a one hundred

123
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 1: and fifteen million dollars three year contract.

124
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 2: A little Murdie was chirping, Trip trip tripper.

125
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:11,239
Speaker 1: Now Liberty says it will be the highest average annual

126
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 1: value aa V, as the kids like to say, for

127
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: a left handed pitcher in baseball history. So take that

128
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: Sandy Kofax and all you other losers. This Franbur Valdez,

129
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 1: the highest paid on a single year average in baseball history.

130
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: Now Valdez, who has been somewhat durable, but he's a

131
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: place for the cheaters.

132
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 2: It has played for the cheaters.

133
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: So now he will take his talents to the Detroit

134
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: Tigers rotation, which is currently anchored by the top pitcher

135
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 1: in Baseball American League, Cy Young winner Trek Scuoble, a

136
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 1: multi time Platinum Trek Scooble, who is still hanging out

137
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: in Motown. He's also going to arbitration. That ruling should

138
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: be down soon, and you gotta think he's gonna win that. However,

139
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: stranger things have happened. He with beings are involved anyway.

140
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: So the story here is that Framber Valdez, it looked

141
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 1: like nobody wanted him, and he ends up getting a contract.

142
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 2: I of course immediately got an email from a how

143
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 2: should I say it? I want to keep my job,

144
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 2: A deplorable a hole fan? How about that from Houston?

145
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 2: So you were Wrongbeller. You did twenty minutes on Framber

146
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 2: Valdez and he de sided with the Tigers, and you

147
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 2: don't know what you're talking about. Okay, thank you.

148
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: I'm glad that you emailed me, and I did I

149
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,559
Speaker 1: right back to this guy. No, why would I write back.

150
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,319
Speaker 1: I have the bully pulpit. I can just bury the

151
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 1: guy right here. Okay, I can bear the guy right here.

152
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 1: So that's a good jumping off point. Let us discuss

153
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 1: the question what is your knee jerk reaction to starting

154
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 1: pitcher Framber Valdez heading to the Detroit Tigers Big Baseball

155
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:50,079
Speaker 1: signing there.

156
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,559
Speaker 2: Spring training starts in less than two weeks.

157
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: Less than two weeks, all right, So my observations, I've

158
00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:03,559
Speaker 1: got bowling ball, porterhouse steak, and wandering officer, and we

159
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 1: will lock all of these things together and we are

160
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 1: going to play Connect three is what we're gonna play.

161
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:14,959
Speaker 1: So this is number one. This is a late night

162
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: TV commercial. Wait, there's more, right, operators are standing by

163
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: right now. You can pull out props and be like

164
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 1: a prop comedian or a late night infomercial and drop

165
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: a bowling ball on a pillow, A my pillow. It's

166
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: a my pillow contract. No bounce baby. So I was

167
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:39,319
Speaker 1: actually right about this. This is a pillow contract. And

168
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,719
Speaker 1: bringing Mike Lindell and all that not the five to

169
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: six year contract that Veldees wanted for the schmuck a

170
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: astro fan astro fan.

171
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 2: He wanted a five or six year deal. Nobody offered

172
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 2: him that. This is now, it's a pillow contract.

173
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 1: It's a luxury pillow with an opt out tag that's

174
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: still attached to it.

175
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 2: He's got a lot of.

176
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 1: Cash per year, however, just not the full price that

177
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 1: he wanted. And so Valdez will stay for two years.

178
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: It's got two years and then he can hit the

179
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: eject button and go back into the transfer portal, go

180
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,959
Speaker 1: back to the market, hit the snooze button. And of

181
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: course if he doesn't pitch, well, if he doesn't pitch well,

182
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,599
Speaker 1: he's going to continue to winter in Michigan like he

183
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:26,839
Speaker 1: spent his summer in Michigan. And don't forget also that

184
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:30,200
Speaker 1: Frambergh got a little he's still got a little bit

185
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: of that funky funky bo from Houston on him hanging

186
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: out all those years with the cheating you know who,

187
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 1: the cheating you know who, banging on trash cans and

188
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 1: blowing in the whistles. Hey, check them for the buzzer,

189
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: checking for the buzzer. Now, he also last season famously

190
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 1: during a game this made for good Talk radio. It

191
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: was taboo in the community of baseball. He called out

192
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 1: his catcher. But deeper than that. So despite this big

193
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 1: AAV average Annual value framber, he's going to a team

194
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: where he's not going to be the.

195
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 2: Alpha in Motown.

196
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: He is not.

197
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 2: He is the sidekick. He's the robin to.

198
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: Tarrek Schouble as batman, which in theories like, well, you're

199
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 1: not the number one.

200
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:25,679
Speaker 2: Guy, there's limited pressure in that.

201
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 1: You slide in as the number two and you pitch

202
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 1: in October and then you're hiding out behind schoolbll Let

203
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: the Tigers do the heavy lifting and all that stuff.

204
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 1: Detroit's loaded, legit loaded the world like World Series loaded?

205
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:47,559
Speaker 1: And Toronto are they? Are they going to replace Toronto

206
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:51,199
Speaker 1: as the American League team in the World Series? Because

207
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 1: it's really the Dodgers have already won the National League pennant.

208
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 2: I don't if you know that.

209
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 1: The Dodgers wrapped up the Nation League pennant, and so

210
00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:58,680
Speaker 1: we're just waiting to find out who's going to.

211
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:00,719
Speaker 2: Win the American League pennant. And that's it.

212
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:06,439
Speaker 1: Uh and so again, But the wider angle lens, the

213
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 1: wider angle lens on this it's a it's a game

214
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 1: of bach Bach, Chicken and Valdez. Framber Valdez flinched. He

215
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 1: should have taken the Council of the Malar Think Tank

216
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 1: and waited. Once arms start popping. We mentioned rice crispy

217
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: snap crackle pop, and it's gonna happen in less than

218
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 1: two weeks in the Cactus League and the Grapefruit League,

219
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 1: prices go up, teams get desperate, and instead he said,

220
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: you know what I want, A nice pillow right now.

221
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 2: I hope it's a memory foam pillow. That's what I

222
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 2: hope for you. Framburgh.

223
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 1: All right now, page two we go to La speaking

224
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,439
Speaker 1: of sho hal Tani and he shall appear So the

225
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:53,679
Speaker 1: Dodgers superstar, the face of Baseball, Sorry Aaron Judge, Global Baseball,

226
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:58,079
Speaker 1: Shoe Haltani. Dodgers are the most popular team at Shoe Heotni.

227
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:02,599
Speaker 1: So Shoeltani admitted recently did an interview. He doesn't do

228
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:04,559
Speaker 1: a lot of interviews, but he admitted that he likes

229
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 1: the team.

230
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 2: This is going to shock you. He likes the team.

231
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 1: Spending spree the Dodgers over the last couple of off seasons,

232
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 1: and yeah, they've they've been getting a lot of pushback.

233
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:16,959
Speaker 2: You know, a lot of you people are losers and

234
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 2: you push back against the Dodgers.

235
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 1: So Otani said, he believes that the Dodgers massive spending

236
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,239
Speaker 1: spree is good for baseball.

237
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 2: Third rail, mommam, that's the third rail, he said.

238
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 1: Quote this is a quote from Otani translated. He said, yeah,

239
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 1: I think with what the ownership group has done, it's great.

240
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:40,679
Speaker 1: Otani said. I mean, obviously the fans pay money, they

241
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 1: buy tickets, and they you know, he said, they come

242
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,439
Speaker 1: to the game. So I think that the money is

243
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 1: being used back to sign these great players and put

244
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 1: up and put out a winning product on the field.

245
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 2: Close quote. All right, questions shoe a.

246
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 1: Otani says the Dodgers spending spree is good for baseball.

247
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 1: How is that going over? How is this going over?

248
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 1: These comments by Otani. So this is after a two minute,

249
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 1: not three minute, not one minute, two minute, two minute investigation,

250
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 1: this is actually a penalty, and in the eyes of

251
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 1: the baseball community, it's an instigator penalty, and Otani actually

252
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: has to go to the penalty box for two minutes.

253
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 2: Two minutes.

254
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 1: Instigator penalty for showing Otani. This is Otani lighting a cigar.

255
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 2: I love it.

256
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 1: Lighting a cigar with a double double wrapped one hundred

257
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 1: dollars bills and right in front of the poverty franchises.

258
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 2: In Major League Baseball is what he's doing. And the

259
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 2: thing that blows me away.

260
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 1: And I've talked about this in the past, but there's

261
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: new people listening all the time to the Ben Mather Show,

262
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 1: and we thank you for that. Tell a friend, these

263
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: loser fans who don't have the fighting spirit. It's bad enough,

264
00:14:55,880 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 1: they're teams that they follow have no gut. Right the

265
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 1: fan bases have embraced that. It blows me away.

266
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 2: Why are you like that? You don't want to be

267
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 2: the team that beats Goliath? Apparently, no, no, no no.

268
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 1: For my entire life growing up, it was always, man,

269
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 1: you want to take down that big, powerful, dominant team, Right,

270
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: you wanted to beat whenever the Yankees had a dynasty.

271
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 1: You want to be the team that took down the Yankees, Right,

272
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 1: you want to take them.

273
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 2: Down and all that.

274
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 1: In this case, though, it's like, well, it's a Dodgers

275
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 1: and we can't beat them, so we'll run from the

276
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 1: grind and instead We just want Major League Baseball to

277
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 1: cut the blue Dodger balls off.

278
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 2: And give them real blue balls, no balls. So o Tani,

279
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 2: what he does? What he did?

280
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 1: Here? Otani tossed a porterhouse steak into a hungry lion's den.

281
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 1: It's sea salt on an open wound. It's also hilarious

282
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 1: seeing the reaction, the feeding frenzy from fans of suck

283
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 1: bag teams who aren't trying to win, and there are

284
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 1: bleeding and all that. You know, Tani strolls in there

285
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 1: wearing a blue and gold iron Man armor outfit and says, hey.

286
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 2: This is great, man? Is this great?

287
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 3: Like?

288
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 2: What did you expect him to say? You expect? Well,

289
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 2: I'm a little embarrassed.

290
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 1: The Dodgers spend too much money and I happen to

291
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 1: be one of the players that's on the team. And

292
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 1: please Gorgenheim group, tighten the purse strings. Please don't spend

293
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 1: this money. Come on, no, come on, the Dodgers spoil

294
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:33,119
Speaker 1: these players. They travel better than all the other American

295
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 1: sports athletes. And I believe globally there might be some

296
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 1: soccer team, but from what I heard, they're the only

297
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 1: team that segregates. The players have one plane, and the media,

298
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 1: the trainers, the coaching staff, all the supports staff have there.

299
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 1: I have a different plane. That's how spoiled the rotten

300
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 1: these Dodgers are right, And you want Otani to say, nah,

301
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 1: we don't need that. This is the Gilded Age. It

302
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: is what it is, and he's the king. This is

303
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 1: Rokefeller like vibes. If you've studied American history, it's Rockefeller.

304
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:10,640
Speaker 1: Otani's living in Baseball's taj Mahal. And all these people

305
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 1: are out there protesting, saying you gotta you can't be

306
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,400
Speaker 1: doing that. Oh my god, and Otani basically says, suck

307
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 1: it to the trolls, and I love it, right, I

308
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 1: love it.

309
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:19,680
Speaker 2: It's great.

310
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 1: The fans get gouge Dodger fans with overprized merch and

311
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:28,399
Speaker 1: overpriced snacks and all that ticket price is parking the

312
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 1: whole thing.

313
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 2: And at least the ownership group they spend, they spend,

314
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:37,640
Speaker 2: and good for them. So that's it. That's the sales pitch.

315
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:41,440
Speaker 1: The fans overpay for this junk the owner spends, and

316
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 1: that's what's supposed to happen.

317
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 2: In other places, that's not the case. And if you

318
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:47,120
Speaker 2: sign with the Dodgers.

319
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 1: You get the red carpet, not a coupon book, like

320
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 1: you're playing for the Pirates or the Rays or the A's.

321
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:58,120
Speaker 1: It's capitalism with pine tar all over it. Here's the truth.

322
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 1: Nobody wants to say out loud. This isn't about baseball health.

323
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:05,199
Speaker 1: It's about cheap owners getting exposed.

324
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 2: Is what it is. All right.

325
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:08,879
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, final point, we go to the NFL. That's right,

326
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 1: we go from baseball to the NFL.

327
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 2: I had to mention this. Go to Arizona. The Cardinals.

328
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 2: I don't if you saw this or not.

329
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 1: They agreed to a deal with Nathaniel Hackett as their

330
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:25,440
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator. Yep, yep, that's the same guy. That's not

331
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:27,640
Speaker 1: you know, he thought he might have changed his name.

332
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 1: Nathaniel Hackett. He's in his mid forties. He was an

333
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator for Matt LeFleur in Green Bay. He was

334
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville. He's bounced around the NFL. He's not good

335
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 1: at his job. He also failed spectacularly with the Broncos.

336
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 1: And now Nathaniel Hackett will team up with the other Lafleur.

337
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:52,920
Speaker 1: That's how he's known, Mike LeFleur in Arizona. So the

338
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 1: question for the esteem panel, Nathaniel Hackett picks up the

339
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:03,160
Speaker 1: keys to the Cardinals offense. It's how on God's green

340
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:07,120
Speaker 1: Earth does Nathaniel Hackett keep getting these gigs seriously?

341
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 2: So it's not and I knew this going in. It's

342
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 2: not what you know, because he's pretty bad at his job.

343
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 2: It's who you know.

344
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:20,160
Speaker 1: And Nathaniel Hackett is a Nepo baby. He was born

345
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 1: into a coaching family. I covered the University of Southern

346
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 1: California Trojans. His dad, Paul Hackett, was the coach, not

347
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 1: a good one back in the day. And so Nathaniel

348
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 1: Hackett's that's the family business in coaching, and so that

349
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 1: helps out.

350
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 2: Now I should be clear.

351
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 1: Hackett, Nathaniel Hackett is not going to be calling the

352
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:42,879
Speaker 1: plays for the Cardinals, and so that means this is

353
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 1: one of those plum gigs. You get the title, you

354
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,440
Speaker 1: get the corner office. It's a smile and just nod

355
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,360
Speaker 1: in the meetings. Make sure you bring the right donuts.

356
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 1: Make sure you bring the right donuts. Want the glazed donuts,

357
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 1: A couple of Long Johns, a bear claw and an

358
00:19:58,560 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 1: apple fritter.

359
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 2: And you got to go to the meetings.

360
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:06,920
Speaker 1: Make sure that those again, bare claw apple fritter glazed donuts,

361
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,400
Speaker 1: and then you bring those to the meeting and don't

362
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 1: touch anything else, don't touch the overhead projector don't do it.

363
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 2: Don't do not do it.

364
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 1: And Hackett is like, you know, he's like, he's like

365
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 1: that degenerate cousin that nobody trusts with the car keys.

366
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:25,880
Speaker 2: However, you feel bad for him. It's like a friend

367
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 2: of the family. And so I guess the the Flair family.

368
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 1: They keep letting him crash on the couch and he smells,

369
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:39,160
Speaker 1: he doesn't shower, you know, he's got dishevel the whole thing. Wow,

370
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 1: So seriously, why does Hackett keep landing jobs? Now my

371
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 1: theory on this, I've got free words. Uh barbecue pit

372
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 1: boss are my three words. In Green Bay, they swore

373
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 1: up and down that this guy could smoke meat like

374
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 1: a wizard. Okay, he was the whiz of smoked meat.

375
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 1: Forget red zone efficiency. Who cares about that? This guy

376
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 1: his offense is a mean brisket. And if you've ever

377
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 1: had properly cooked brisket, it's one of the great things

378
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 1: about being alive. You never want to die because of

379
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 1: the brisket. You want to live forever. So you're gonna

380
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,439
Speaker 1: have more brisket. You do, even if you're a vegan,

381
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:22,479
Speaker 1: you want more brisket.

382
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:23,160
Speaker 2: It's that good.

383
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:28,640
Speaker 1: So Hackett is wandering, you know what, He's a wandering officer,

384
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 1: and I believe that's the phrase, wandering officer, drifting from

385
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 1: team to team and the personal the personnel file is

386
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:43,360
Speaker 1: sealed and failures are buried under experience.

387
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:45,680
Speaker 2: He's experienced.

388
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 1: He's really good with a side of cow and protected

389
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 1: by the good old boys network of coaching. And they're

390
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 1: desperate and they just keep hiring these same people. This

391
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 1: isn't innovation. It's football nepotism. And there are some sauce

392
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 1: stains from the brisket. It's the Ben Mahlord Show. If

393
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:09,640
Speaker 1: you'd like to be part, you can join us right.

394

Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals. Well, straight ahead, a very awkward Super

400

Speaker 1: Bowl week moment. But was it legit or not very

401
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:40,560

00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:04,880
Speaker 1: but not allowed.

469
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,360
Speaker 2: At Radio Row because we're the taboo overnight show.

470
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:12,159
Speaker 1: So we are broadcasting from a secret location somewhere not

471
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 1: that far away from where all the big events are.

472
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:18,880
Speaker 1: Later today getting no sleep at all, will be back

473
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 1: at that facility right there.

474
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:25,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, All right, we have comments coming in here.

475
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 1: Let's see Steve Wright, since says, Ben, don't you think

476
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a boring super Bowl? The network's wanted

477
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 1: the Rams Patriots la versus Boston. He says, well, the

478
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:43,160
Speaker 1: Rams would have been. It would have been a better

479
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 1: storyline matchup with the Rams. You would have had the

480
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:50,200
Speaker 1: top two quarterbacks in the regular season, Matthew Stafford, who's

481
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 1: obviously better than Sam Donald, and then you toss him

482
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 1: out there against Drake May. That would have been pretty good.

483
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 1: Sean mcveay, you know, that would have been a rematch

484
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:01,920
Speaker 1: to those teams played a couple of years ago in

485
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:04,360
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl when Brady was and Belichick were still

486
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 1: there in New England.

487
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 2: That would have had more Jews.

488
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,160
Speaker 1: He would had Puka Nakula, who's becoming a big star

489
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:13,639
Speaker 1: and been very productive and all that. He would have

490
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:15,639
Speaker 1: given you some juice, Jackson Smith and Jig, but he

491
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 1: hasn't really given you much anything. I would rather stare

492
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 1: at a wall than listen to Sam Donald talk. My god,

493
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:22,359
Speaker 1: is this man boring?

494
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:23,640
Speaker 2: Oh? My god?

495
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:28,880
Speaker 1: Leader of men? Horrific, absolutely horrific. So yeah, it would

496
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 1: have been would have been better.

497
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 2: I don't know. They've been great.

498
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 1: That's not get crazier the Patriots, for all their success,

499
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:36,879
Speaker 1: there's not a lot a lot going on.

500
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,880
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, let's see who else. We have a Field Numb.

501
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 2: You know that's a legitimate, big time person. When their

502
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 2: name is feel Numb, you know that's big.

503
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 1: So field Numb writes in and says, apparently Durant and

504
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 1: Lebron are ring chasers because they joined super teams. But

505
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 1: anybody that joins the Dodgers gets a pass. Okay, well

506
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 1: you probably not for you. You you like ripping these

507
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,679
Speaker 1: guys care if they want to play for the Dodgers.

508
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 1: I would want to work for the Dodgers because like

509
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 1: all these people that get all worked up on sports radios,

510
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 1: Oh my god, the Dodgers. They spend too much money

511
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:15,640
Speaker 1: I want to work for. Maybe I'm a bad employee.

512
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 1: I want my boss to spoil me. You probably don't

513
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,440
Speaker 1: want your boss to spoil you. You're like, nah, you

514
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:21,639
Speaker 1: know what I don't want.

515
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 2: I don't want all.

516
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:27,359
Speaker 1: These extra perks. I don't deserve the extra perks. I

517
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 1: would like to have them for the same exact job.

518
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 1: You know, I understand there's a different world. You I'll

519
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 1: give an example. I my world in radio, doing the

520
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 1: overnight h I've been overnights for a long time is

521
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 1: much different than.

522
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 2: The world of radio. When you're on during the day,

523
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 2: you get treated better. I would like to be.

524
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 1: I think you should spoil the overnight guy once in

525
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 1: a while. I think that would be nice, But that

526
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 1: normally doesn't happen. And that's the way these businesses operate.

527
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 1: But if you have a chance to go to a

528
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 1: business that treats you the proper way, like the Dodgers do,

529
00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 1: why would you not rather than play for the Pirates

530
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 1: of the A's or some like that. Yeah, anyway, Random

531
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 1: Ryan writes in from Carolina. He says, Ben, I'm sorry

532
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 1: I missed the first hour I was locked in on

533
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 1: the NASCAR Clash on Fox, which another guy named Ryan.

534
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 2: One. By the way, when did my taxes start? When

535
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 2: did my taxes? Then?

536
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 1: Did my taxes? He said, while listening to the Woodstock

537
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 1: ninety nine set from Limp Biscuit.

538
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 2: Buggety Buggay, Buggy Boggley, Bogglety Boggady.

539
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 1: I'm glad that we now know everything that Random Ryan did.

540
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 1: Is there any sport with more people named Ryan than NASCAR.

541
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 2: Seriously.

542
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 1: Ferg Dog writes in from the winter wonderland of Fullerton,

543
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 1: he actually just put another log on the fire. So

544
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 1: cold there at Fullerton, and he says, I know you

545
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 1: don't do shout outs, Ben, and we don't. I do

546
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 1: do mentions, but I don't do shout outs, he says.

547
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 1: He says, I'd like Ferg Dog wants to give a

548
00:29:56,560 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 1: shout out to Gunner? Can I it cannot. I'm sorry

549
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 1: Gunner at the Walmart there in Minnesota, and that all

550
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 1: your teams break your heart. I'm sorry about that. And

551
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,720
Speaker 1: I can't say happy twenty ninth birthday to you, because

552
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 1: you know that's depressing. It's your last year in your twenties,

553
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 1: and then you become thirty. You're washed up. I mean,

554
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 1: my god, I'm still twenty eight. By the way, I

555
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 1: still act twenty eight. I don't how old I actually am,

556
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 1: but I'm still acting like twenty eight. That's I've decided.

557
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 1: I'm twenty eight, and that's where I'm at. Who else

558
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:30,720
Speaker 1: do we have at this point? This is from Derek

559
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 1: and Buffalo, better known he's one of the great Bill's

560
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 1: Mafia guys. We got Bill's Mafia that are fans of

561
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 1: the show, the guys that jump on tables and do

562
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 1: all the crazy stuff. Anyway, Bill's Monster says at this point,

563
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 1: Nathaniel Hackett must have a USB labeled insurance on half

564
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 1: the league. He says, keeps getting jobs like it's a

565
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 1: rewards program. Coach terribly get fired, promoted, incredible run NFL logic.

566
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, they really are.

567
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 1: The way the NFL does business. And I guess you

568
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 1: could get away with it for the first seventy five

569
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 1: years of the NFL, maybe the first eighty five years

570
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 1: of the NFL. Do they not realize, like we all

571
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 1: are connected and we know these guys suck, and that

572
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 1: you're just rehiring trash with these other NFL teams.

573
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 2: You, I mean, it's it's wild. It is is insane

574
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 2: that this is still going on.

575
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 1: There you go. Miguel on Fire says, you know you

576
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 1: sound a little sick. Ben, Time to suck on some garlic. Well,

577
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:35,960
Speaker 1: thank you, Miguiel.

578
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 2: I'm all right. I think I'm okay. G bananas rights in.

579
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 2: He says. Framber is a head case, but he's got

580
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 2: a great fastball in a curve.

581
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 1: As you said, arms were going to fail during spring training,

582
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 1: not to mention the premature injuries through the World Baseball Classic,

583
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 1: he could have gotten a bigger bag.

584
00:31:57,280 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's still gonna pay his bills.

585
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 1: That was my advice, is you just wait and then

586
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 1: this guy's gonna end up needing Tommy John surgery.

587
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 2: That guy's gonna be down for the count. And that's that.

588
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 2: That's the that's the way it is.

589
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 1: And nos Tradinis writes, and he says Ben is failing

590
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 1: to add adhering to the gambler's creed never bet against

591
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 1: the streak, and Sam is on a hot one. Well, no,

592
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 1: stre denas you clearly did not pay attention while the

593
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:26,600
Speaker 1: Seahawks were winning all those games.

594
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 2: You must have been drinking a lot.

595
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, my god, Mark, the full name guy is still listening.

596
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 1: Donald was terrible the second.

597
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 2: Half of the season.

598
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:37,840
Speaker 1: But we're not supposed to talk about that, because you're

599
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 1: supposed to pretend that didn't happen. Just pretend that didn't happen.

600
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 1: That is, it will take some calls. Eight seven, seven,

640
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 1: They pretty much banned me from going to those games

641
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:30,759
Speaker 1: since they got Otani, So I don't even go to

642
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:32,920
Speaker 1: the games anymore. I did for about thirty years of

643
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 1: my life. I went to every Dodger pretty much every

644
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:35,960
Speaker 1: Dodger home game.

645
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 5: I did.

646
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:39,839
Speaker 2: And by the way, by the way, by the way,

647
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:41,239
Speaker 2: Jerome I I did.

648
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:43,719
Speaker 1: At one point I did the Dodger postgame show. They

649
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:47,440
Speaker 1: sucked when I did the Dodger was why couldn't they won?

650
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:49,479
Speaker 2: When I was there? They were so bad?

651
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 1: Uh, But they spent a lot of money like they

652
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 1: do now, except they they didn't win anything, and they

653
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 1: would make the playoffs and lose in the first round,

654
00:34:57,760 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 1: or they wouldn't even make the playoffs at all.

655
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:01,400
Speaker 2: They were They were not good. When I was real

656
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:02,719
Speaker 2: why you know why.

657
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:08,279
Speaker 5: They didn't win? Man, Like you always said, money, miney money, money.

658
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:12,759
Speaker 2: They spent they spent money. Now, Jerome, I want to

659
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:14,399
Speaker 2: bring this up because I think you're the perfect person

660
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 2: to react to this.

661
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:18,399
Speaker 1: So one of them now one of the stories, one

662
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:21,319
Speaker 1: of the stories this week from the Super Bowl, Drake May.

663
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:23,080
Speaker 2: You know who that is. You know who Drake Man is.

664
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 2: You're familiar with North Carolina. Okay, all right?

665
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 1: So Drake May was asked this week if he regrets

666
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:36,239
Speaker 1: getting married so young. No, people are people are people?

667
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:37,840
Speaker 5: Just don't answer that question.

668
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:40,799
Speaker 1: Well, there's only one way to answer the question, right,

669
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:42,880
Speaker 1: you know. The way to answer the question is no,

670
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:45,279
Speaker 1: I'm very happy I made the right decision. This is

671
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 1: my childhood sweetheart, you know all that stuff. They've been

672
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:50,359
Speaker 1: together for a decade. He's not even that old, Drake May.

673
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 1: They've already been together for a decade. But I think

674
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:55,759
Speaker 1: that's a legitimate question, Jerome, that's a question.

675
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 5: You never answered in front of your wife on TV.

676
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 2: But no, because.

677
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:04,279
Speaker 5: I don't believe in marriage. Ben I got married one

678
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:06,879
Speaker 5: time and it was a joke. I never I told

679
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 5: my mom I'll never get married again because I never

680
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 5: met anyone like her, I'll never get mad. I don't

681
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:15,200
Speaker 5: want to be married, Okay, I don't believe in marriage.

682
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:18,440
Speaker 1: No, no, no no, But you're not an athlete though,

683
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:21,800
Speaker 1: I'm talking about the athlete lifestyle. Like to me, the

684
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:23,800
Speaker 1: guy that did it the greatest was Derek Jeter. I

685
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 1: don't think anyone disagree with that. Like Jeter played in

686
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 1: New York. He had the gift baskets for the ladies,

687
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:32,320
Speaker 1: you know, a nice parting gift after yeah, you go

688
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:35,319
Speaker 1: to do whatever you're doing. And he always gave him

689
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:36,880
Speaker 1: the gift basket. He never really ended up in the

690
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 1: tabloids that much. And then right when his career ended,

691
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:42,440
Speaker 1: he got married. And then now he's got a family

692
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:44,320
Speaker 1: like that was the perfect way to do it.

693
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 5: And his hair is falling off. But you know what

694
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:49,080
Speaker 5: I tell you, when you get money and you're a

695
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 5: guy or a woman, make sure you get a prenup.

696
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 5: I got to answer something about Harden now that he's

697
00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:57,920
Speaker 5: been traded, the saving's been traded. What are we gonna do?

698
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 5: What are the ship clubs in? What are you gonna

699
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 5: do now? Man? Ben? Because I saw a story with

700
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:08,880
Speaker 5: James hadd dumped a million dollars one million dollars in

701
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:10,479
Speaker 5: one night in his trip clown.

702
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's I gotta let you go Jerome because I

703
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 2: got a clock issue.

704
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:19,280
Speaker 1: But he's a legend. He's the goat of the ballet.

705
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 1: They're gonna miss him at the ballet for no, no,

706
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:24,839
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. Oh, push back that Collinsworth story.

742
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 1: years ago. Shane and Mooy going with John Franco, the

743

Speaker 1: relief Pitcher and the Goat Attorney Alan Jackson from Scott

744
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:33,400
Speaker 1: in Rhode Island. All right, the correct answer would be

745
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:38,319
Speaker 1: none other than that would be Rex Grossman in six

746
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:42,600
Speaker 1: with the Chicago Bears. Drake May second worst, Trent Dilfer

747
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:44,000
Speaker 1: the third worst.

748
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:50,200
Speaker 2: It's maller. How about that to the third degree? This

749
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:53,760
Speaker 2: is one big Ben gets grill ululoop.

750
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:57,400
Speaker 7: On Tuesday, new Cardinals head coach Mike Lafleur had his

751
00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:00,800
Speaker 7: introductory press conference and revealed that the team undecided on

752
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:03,360
Speaker 7: the future of Kyler Murray. Ben, do you think Murray

753
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:04,880
Speaker 7: is in Arizona at the start of the season.

754
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:07,719
Speaker 1: Oh, he might be there to play video games, but

755
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:09,480
Speaker 1: he's not gonna be playing quarterback for the Cardinals.

756
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 2: Now. He will be traded.

757
00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:13,040
Speaker 1: And when you say you're when you say you're undecided,

758
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:16,080
Speaker 1: you're not bringing him back. He's they got to find

759
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:18,040
Speaker 1: a sucker to take it. Maybe the Steelers will take him.

760
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:20,319
Speaker 2: The little fella alligator arms right next.

761
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 7: It was reported this week that before getting dealt to

762
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:25,080
Speaker 7: the Rockets, Kevin Durant veto to trade to the Timberwolves.

763
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:27,680
Speaker 7: Rockets are playoff contenders in the West at thirty one

764
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:30,399
Speaker 7: and seventeen, Wolves aren't far behind. Ben, do you think

765
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:32,520
Speaker 7: Minnesota is better off not having gotten Durant.

766
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:35,319
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, they seem like they're doing okay. We'll find

767
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:37,200
Speaker 1: out in the playoffs. I guess Durant didn't want the

768
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:39,000
Speaker 1: cold weather. He wanted to hang on Houston. I guess

769
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 1: that's the thing. But for now we'll soo cokay. I

770
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:43,439
Speaker 1: mean it's really just how you play that two months

771
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:44,280
Speaker 1: stretch in the playoffs.

772
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 2: Next.

773
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:47,239
Speaker 7: Michael Porter Junior made a recent podcast appearance where he

774
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 7: said that he believes Jamal Murray is underappreciated and has

775
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 7: his reputation hurt by playing alongside Nikola Jokic. Do you

776
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:54,920
Speaker 7: think that's true? Uh?

777
