1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:02,920
Speaker 1: It's a small world. After all, it's a.

2
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:07,720
Speaker 2: Small small world, but not when Barry Bonds was playing.

3
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 2: It's our number two of the Ben Malors Show. What

4
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 2: stands out as we talk about it on the podcast?

5
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:17,079
Speaker 2: What stands out to you about Barry Bonds saying he

6
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 2: would have been a Yankee except he somehow hung up

7
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 2: on George Steinbrenner after Steinbrener offered him a contract to

8
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 2: be the highest paid Yankee of high baseball player in

9
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:33,239
Speaker 2: history at the time. Also, how does this naming of

10

Speaker 2: the field benefit Dodger fans and the Japanese sponsored Dodgers

11
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,159
Speaker 2: have sold out Dodger Stadium.

12
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 1: Yes, they need the money.

13
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 2: And is Alex Bregman setting the Cubbies up for failure?

14
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 2: After the cheating astro said, it's World Series or bust

15

41
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 2: we are back at it. A lot of baseball conversation here,

42
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 2: including we go back to that Giants Yankees game. Not

43
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 2: much of a game, I would say, yeah, I think

44
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 2: you'd agree with not much of a game. Yes, all right,

45
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:05,639
Speaker 2: so the Yankees win seven to nothing. I believe that

46
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 2: would be the personification of not much of a game. Now,

47
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 2: there was something that took place in this game that

48
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 2: cut my attention. Is it's been bouncing around here. Not

49
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 2: that the fact that Bombers pants the Hagantes, That's not it.

50
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 2: Barry Bonds, who treated the baseball media like the tag

51
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 2: on the back of your shirt and just kind of

52
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 2: try to rip it out because he would poke and

53
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 2: tickle with not a lot of tickling ash. But he

54
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 2: made his TV debut. Yeah, Barry Bonds his TV. Look,

55
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 2: it was Netflix. That's TV, right, that's modern TV.

56
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 1: So there he was on.

57
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 2: Netflix doing his thing, and he stepped into the booth.

58
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 2: Now he was on the pregame.

59
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 3: That was.

60
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 2: That was something. We'll talk more about that later. But

61
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 2: Bond stepped into the booth during the six inning. Flix

62
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 2: was trying to kill time because the game was so bad.

63
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 2: They were trying to keep people watching, and Bonds provided

64
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 2: a revelation.

65
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: For Baseball Nation. What did he do?

66
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 2: So if he didn't see this or hear about it,

67
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 2: maybe not Barry Bonds reveal. He was asked about you know,

68
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 2: they never played for the Yankees, and Bond said that

69
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 2: he had a.

70
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 1: Deal years ago to join the New York.

71
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 2: Yankees, and that was back in nineteen ninety three. Bonds

72
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 2: was a free agent after the ninety two season with

73
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 2: the Pittsburgh Pirates. He told the story of getting a

74
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 2: call from George steinbern He might not know who that

75
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 2: is if you're a younger age, but George Steinberner was

76
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 2: like the biggest figure in all of baseball. Gigantic personality,

77
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 2: classic old school owner and if you watch Seinfeld anyway,

78
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 2: Bond said, quote, I would have been a Yankee. I

79
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 2: would have been a Yankee, said b See that means

80
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 2: everything before. That's a lie. But Steinbrenner got on the

81
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 2: phone and he's telling the Sorry, this is a quote,

82
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 2: he said. Steinbergy got on the phone and he called

83
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 2: us and he told me, Barry, we are going to

84
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 2: give you the money to make you the highest paid

85
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 2: player at the time in baseball, but you have to

86
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 2: sign the contract by two o'clock this afternoon. Well, how

87
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 2: did Bonds respond? He said, excuse me, and he said, quote,

88
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 2: I just hung.

89
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 1: Up the phone and went to have lunch.

90
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 2: Now, of course, said the agent started freaking out, and

91
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 2: Barry ended up pivoting and joining the giants, saying he

92
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 2: was going home to the Giants. So that's a good

93
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 2: jumping off point. Let us discuss We'll do some old

94
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 2: guy radio. Let's discuss the question what stands out to you?

95
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 2: What stands out to you about Barry Bond, saying that

96
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 2: he would have been a Yankee except he hung up

97
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 2: on George Steinbrener because Steinbrenner made.

98
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: A demand that Bonds did not like, which was a demand. Hey,

99
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pay you a lot of money, just take

100
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: care of this right now.

101
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 2: My observations, I've got crunch, rap burrito, high end boutique,

102
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 2: and traveling cover band, and we will combine all of

103
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 2: these things together and we're gonna have some controlled chaos,

104
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 2: is what we're going to have. But we'll start from

105
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:28,280
Speaker 2: the ground and work our way up.

106
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:29,919
Speaker 1: So Number one.

107
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 2: I cannot emphasis I emphasize this enough. I cannot emphasize

108
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 2: this enough.

109
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:41,720
Speaker 1: This is perfect.

110
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 2: Okay, this is absolutely freaking perfect. Here that hanging up

111
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 2: on the boss and Barry Bonds admitted to hanging up

112
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 2: on the bus. This is the most Verry Bonds story

113
00:06:54,920 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 2: ever told that the guy treated human interaction. It was

114
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 2: jury duty. He kept trying to get out of it, okay,

115
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 2: but it wasn't just that. Listen, I'm an introvert, I am,

116
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,359
Speaker 2: and I understand the introvert life.

117
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 1: I lived that life. However, I try not to be

118
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 1: a total a hole like Bonds.

119
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 2: Just he wanted to be that guy, and so that's

120
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 2: the personality test he failed spectacularly.

121
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 1: It is the epitome of Barry Bonds.

122
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 2: And I dealt with him a lot when I was

123
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 2: a baseball radio reporter back in the day and I

124
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 2: had to get soundbites after games and the Giants played

125
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 2: the Dodgers a ton, and so I saw.

126
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: Him quite often, and Barry was.

127
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 2: A tushy to everyone all the time. And the most

128
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 2: famous Berry Bonds story, hands down, would be the classic

129
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 2: one from the late eighties when he was a young

130
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 2: player for the Pittsburgh Pirates and the guy for the

131
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 2: Pirates was going around to get autographs for sick kids

132
00:07:55,760 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 2: in the children's hospital and Bonds would not signed.

133
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: He refused to sign.

134
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 2: He said he thought the guy was gonna steal the

135
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 2: autograph baseballs and sell them, so he wouldn't do it,

136
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 2: but it's not confident. He just weaponized arrogance. He treated

137
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 2: people like we treat voicemail. You just don't check it,

138
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 2: you just say whatever, I'm not listening to that. And

139
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 2: you think hanging up on George Steinbrenner to go have

140
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 2: a crunch rap burrito for lunch, you think that bothers Bonds. No,

141
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 2: that's what he calls a Tuesday or a Wednesday. Now,

142
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 2: to be fair, let's not canonize George Steinbrenner either. The

143
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 2: Boss was a foghorn with a wallet. And what happens

144
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 2: if you put two alphas on the phone. It's a

145
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 2: combustible situation, which leads to cobboom is what it leads to.

146
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 2: So it's wild though that Bonds shows Candlestick Park with

147
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 2: the wind howling like a horror movie instead of that

148
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 2: bandbox in the Bronx. And he would have been part

149
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 2: Think about if he had gone to you know, do

150
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 2: the what if game? What if he had gone to

151
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:12,319
Speaker 2: the Yankees. That was the beginning of the nineties Yankees

152
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 2: dynasty a couple of years after that, so in theory,

153
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 2: Bonds would have been part of that as that core

154
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 2: group of Yankees became became active Yankee player. I mean

155
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 2: in ninety three he had the Blue Jays were the

156
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 2: top team. Ninety four there was no World Series because

157
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 2: of what had happened. Cleveland had some really good teams

158
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 2: with like ninety six, and from that point on, for

159
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 2: the next few years, the Yankees dominated the scene. And

160
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 2: the other thing I thought about, not only that, but Bonds.

161
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 2: The argument has always been, he didn't do steroids with

162
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 2: the Pirates, He only did them when he got to

163
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 2: the Giants. Is it possible that Bonds had he gone

164
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 2: to Yankee Stadium because that's such a little league ballpark,

165
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,319
Speaker 2: it's not a legit big league ballpark. That's the old

166
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,559
Speaker 2: Yankee Stadium, that he would not have needed the clear

167
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 2: and the cream if he had gone to the Bronx

168
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 2: because of the short porch. That's a cheat code, so

169
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 2: you don't need now. Of course, many Yankees have done

170
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 2: steroids of the NISA need it. Instead. He chose the

171
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 2: Siberian Knights at Candlestick Park and chemical enhancements. All right,

172
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 2: Now turn the page to La La Land, where the

173
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 2: rumor has become reality. Now we are not in mouthpieces

174
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 2: for the Dodgers.

175
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 1: I was at one point. I'm not anymore.

176
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 2: So the field that Dodger Stadium has been sullied. Somebody

177
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 2: defic no, nobody defecated on it. Dodgers have done it.

178
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 2: They have crossed the rubicon. They have presented a title

179
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 2: sponsor for the first time in the history of what

180
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 2: is the third oldest ballpark in the Big Leagues behind

181
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 2: Finway and Wrigley Field, Dodger Stadium. Dodgers announced a partnership

182
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 2: with some global retail brand you k not glow, I

183
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 2: believe is how you pronounced it. It said Japanese company, a

184
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 2: unique clo all right, Well anyway, I never heard of them,

185
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 2: but they are the title sponsor Unique Low Unique Low

186
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 2: Field at Dodgers Stadium. Now, this of course has led

187
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 2: to backlash, like you were upset, I can't believe this.

188
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 2: So the Dodgers issued a statement saying, this is gonna

189
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 2: benefit the Dodger fans and the LA community with Unique

190
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 2: Low Field at Dodger Stadium. So the question is this,

191
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 2: how does this naming of the field, Unique Cloth Field

192
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 2: at Dodger Stadium benefit Dodger fans and the sponsor.

193
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 1: So it's one of these stories. It's really just a

194
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 1: storybook story.

195
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 2: Is there anything more heartwarming than the Dodgers finding a

196
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,319
Speaker 2: fresh way to pick your pocket?

197
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: It's so good.

198
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 2: They have officially turned over these last couple of years

199
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 2: Blue Heaven on Earth into a high end boutique. That's

200
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 2: what it is. And I'm just asking an innocent question.

201
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 2: How many twenty dollars medellos or twenty five dollars medellos

202
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:00,679
Speaker 2: does it take to pay.

203
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: For this, that and the other thing?

204
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 2: And this is just it's not gonna cost the fans

205
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 2: any money, Okay, it's the Japanese clothing company logo is

206
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,839
Speaker 2: now all over Dodger Stadium because they paid a lot

207
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 2: of money for it.

208
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: I get it.

209
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 2: And for the fans, though, the Dodgers continue to have

210
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 2: this masterclass in its mark up madness is what it is.

211
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 2: The stadium is already the most expensive experience in.

212
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: The big leagues. I love that we are in the ear.

213
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 1: It's the experience. It's all about the experience. A place

214
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:33,719
Speaker 1: where a family of fod needs a.

215
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 2: Second mortgage just to park the car, not even get

216
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 2: into the game. And now we get the privilege of

217
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:43,960
Speaker 2: sitting at unique low field at Dodger Stadium. Now does

218
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 2: the name change come with a discount because the Dodgers

219
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 2: in this stateium They're like, hey, listen, this is great.

220
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 2: This is going to help out the Dodger fan and

221
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 2: the LA community. Okay, So does that mean then that

222
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 2: they're gonna discount.

223
00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 1: The exploitative ticket prices that they've been you know?

224
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 2: So this is the old lose, lose wrapped in a

225
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 2: very expensive sweater. As for Unique Low, I would say

226
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 2: that I don't know what they're thinking either. They've essentially

227
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 2: dropped their marketing budget into a bonfire somewhere in Santa Monica.

228
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 1: And I don't know anyone's going to call it Unique

229
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 1: Low Field at Dodger Stadium. It's just Dodger Stadium. That's it. Period. Stop.

230
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,959
Speaker 1: And what do I know? I just see the overnight show.

231
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:32,199
Speaker 2: But it seems rather frivolous spending for the alleged name recognition.

232
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 2: So it's kind of like buying naming rights and saying, hey,

233
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:40,680
Speaker 2: I'm going to sell the naming rights to the Pacific Ocean. Well, no,

234
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 2: it's already been named the Pacific Ocean. But no, I'm

235
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 2: going to sell you naming rights. What do I get

236
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 2: for that?

237
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 4: Why?

238
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,319
Speaker 1: I eat a lot of salt, and we get a

239
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 1: lot of money.

240
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 2: We get a lot of money, and at the end

241
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 2: of the day, it's just water.

242
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: That's all. That's all it is.

243
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 2: And but I'm getting old because I remember, and I

244
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 2: started going to Dodger Stadium back in the day O'Malley

245
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 2: still owned the team, and they had one advertisement in

246
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 2: Dodger Stadium. As I recall, one prominent advertisement, it was

247
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 2: the seventy six ball that they had the seventy six logo,

248
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 2: which was the reason the seats were orange at Dodger

249
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 2: Stadium was because of that.

250
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: But anyway, all.

251
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 2: Right, final point to Chicago we go where your fem's

252
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 2: all fired up, trees excited. I don't know about phase,

253
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 2: but the boys are excited here the Cubbies. Are the

254
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 2: Cubs legit or are they not legit? Well, third basement.

255
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 2: Alex Bregman set the.

256
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: Bar high for the Chicago Cubs.

257
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 2: He gave a quote recently here before Opening Day saying

258
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 2: for the season to be a success, we have to

259
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 2: win the whole thing. We being the Cubbies, I say

260
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 2: a quote from Alex Bregman. Now, the question is Alex

261
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 2: Bregman setting the Cubs up for failure to say it's

262
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 2: worse old series or bust.

263
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 1: So I thought about it. I am ambivalent on this one.

264
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 2: On an iPad tablet, that should be the mission statement.

265
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 2: Like you look at the tablet, that should be the

266
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 2: mission statement. Absolutely, you don't enter the season aiming for

267
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 2: a participation trophy and a pad on the back. It's

268
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 2: not like summer camp. It's got to play meaningful games

269
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 2: when it's cold outside in October, and that's it. However,

270
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 2: this is the part where the malor alarm.

271
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 1: Bells start going off, just like that.

272
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 2: The moment Bregman walks walked into Wrigleyville, the moment he

273
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:43,239
Speaker 2: walked into Rigayville, he brought luggage.

274
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 1: And I'm not talking about Lua Vauton.

275
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 2: I'm talking about the haunted suitcase from the cheating Astros

276
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 2: at the trash Cad Symphony that still echoes. That's not

277
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 2: just baggage. That is radioactive material.

278
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 1: What that is.

279
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 2: And so you got Bregman who's now with the Cubs

280
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 2: with Jose Albouve, Carlos Corre. He's a Cheatah, he's back

281
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 2: with the cheaters. George Springer who was sent out of

282
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 2: the country to Toronto. They have spread out some of them.

283
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 2: Correa played for the Twins and then came back to

284
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 2: the cheaters. Al Tuba is the only one that stayed

285
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 2: for the full run in Houston. But these guys who

286
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 2: are still playing from the twenty seventeen a holes, it's

287
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 2: like a traveling cover band.

288
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: Is who it is called the stink Bombs.

289
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 2: The real fans remember what happened and cannot unsee the

290
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 2: cheating Astros residue permanent marker on your baseball soul.

291
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 1: And who handed out what? Rob Manford handed out?

292
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 3: What?

293
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 1: No punishment?

294
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 2: Right step right up, rob man Fraud, the spineless, gutless

295
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 2: commissioner of Major League Baseball who treated the World Series

296
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 2: scandal like it was a parking ticket or a jaywalking ticket.

297
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 2: So yeah, when Bregman says World Series or bust it

298
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:09,640
Speaker 2: sounds noble. Yet when you've got that kind of baseball

299
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 2: karma dining with the devil swirling around like a tornado

300
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:19,120
Speaker 2: of doom, it's less of a goal for the Cubbies

301
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:24,159
Speaker 2: and more of like a countdown to combustion. It's impossible

302
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 2: impossible for us to pull for any team that has

303
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 2: a cheating a hole on it. Cannot happen, will not happen. Sorry,

304
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 2: not sorry. So the Cubs went from lovable losers to

305
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 2: just losers with Alex Bregman adding Bregman to the team,

306
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 2: and he was a diminishing asset with the Red Sox

307
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:46,639
Speaker 2: that we're not supposed to talk about that part. He

308
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 2: did not play very well in the second half of

309
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 2: the baseball season in twenty twenty five.

310
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 1: For what it's worth, it is the Ben Mahlor Show.

311
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 2: If you'd like to be part, we'll take your calls

312
00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 2: as a line open right now.

313
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 1: Eight seven to seven ninety nine on Fox.

314
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,879

Speaker 1: the quote, though Flacco, would you.

431
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 3: Not sign up for that career at forty one? I

432
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:16,680
Speaker 3: would sign up for that career forty one.

433
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 2: I think he's already had enough money probably just like

434
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 2: hang out and retire or whatever.

435
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:25,680
Speaker 3: He doesn't have enough money, or he wouldn't do it anymore.

436
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 2: He just gets bored. He just wants stuff to do.

437
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 2: He did say, though this is great, you see the quote. Flacco,

438
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:36,239
Speaker 2: who re signed with the Bengals on Wednesday, said it

439
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 2: pisses him off that the Bengals give him a contract.

440
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:42,200
Speaker 1: Nobody would give him a chance to start. He said,

441
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 1: it's dumb.

442
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 2: The teams, some NFL teams are dumb because they.

443
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 3: Would not allow he could still start.

444
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 1: Oh, everyone's it's magic.

445
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:53,399
Speaker 3: Is still start if he really wanted to.

446
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 2: I think you've had a lot of I think you've

447
00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 2: had a lot of alcohol.

448
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:01,640

449
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:02,160
Speaker 1: of alcohol.

450
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 3: Didn't learn systems faster than anybody else.

451
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, Joe Flackle, when he's played has not been good.

452
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:10,400
Speaker 2: People only remember that he has like one or two

453
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 2: good games, and then the rest of them are pretty bad,

454
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 2: and then people only remember the good. It's kind of

455
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:18,640
Speaker 2: like you try to block out a car accident. You're like, well,

456
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 2: that's that wasn't good. That was an accident. I'll try

457
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 2: to block that out.

458
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 3: Hey, but he had a great run. He got a

459
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 3: Super Bowl win for him, right, he got a trophy.

460
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 2: Well, I didn't got a trophy. He suckered the Ravens.

461
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 2: The Ravens knew he wasn't that good. Then he had

462
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,639
Speaker 2: this ridiculous playoff the record.

463
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,160
Speaker 3: Because them it suckered by Lamar Jackson for how many

464
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 3: years now, because every time that he gets into the

465
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 3: contract he gets hurt all of a sudden, Oh hamstring,

466
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh.

467
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 2: Well there's I mean, all right, well you had a

468
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 2: lot of airtime here, there's other people on hold your

469
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:52,160
Speaker 2: ball guarding all the time. They want to talk, what's

470
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 2: up with that? They want to talk?

471
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 3: Hey, but you know I'm right on the Lamar Jackson thing.

472
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,399
Speaker 3: Come on, I mean, I'm okay, I'm I threw you

473
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 3: a bone right there you go.

474
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:03,439
Speaker 1: I gotta go chase the get out of here, go

475
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:03,959
Speaker 1: with thank you.

476
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 2: It is the first time caller Joe and Arkansas completely

477
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 2: smashed hammered calls our show.

478
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:13,159
Speaker 1: How great? How lucky are we?

479
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 2: Let's go now to the Astrology Insider and we go

480
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 2: to the Bay Area.

481
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 1: We go to Berkeley and we say hello to Andrea, Hello.

482
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 7: Ben, how are you?

483
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:31,439
Speaker 2: If I was any better, I'd be a Giant, but

484
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 2: not a San Francisco Giant because they stunk.

485
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 1: They were bad.

486
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 7: Yeah, I gotta tell you. You know, maybe I'm old school,

487
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 7: but you know, seeing the game on Netflix, it just

488
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 7: didn't have its like sense of urgency for like an

489
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:52,200
Speaker 7: opening day game. It was, you know, a lot of

490
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 7: you know, talking chatter, and Barry Bones is on one

491
00:26:56,000 --> 00:27:00,360
Speaker 7: of the panels in pregame and so on, and uh,

492
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 7: you know, Hunter Pants he brought some areas fire energy,

493
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:08,240
Speaker 7: but outside of that, it was like watching a TV show.

494
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 7: I really didn't seem to you know, feel the sense

495
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 7: of opening day urgency from it, and then you know,

496
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 7: seeing the uh lopsided score, it just was kind of

497
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 7: you know, Aaron Judge fellow Taurus striking out. Was it

498
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 7: three or four things?

499
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was well the first four times he struck

500
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 2: he want zero for five?

501
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, game and yeah, this.

502
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 2: Was If this was a Netflix original, it would have

503
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:43,400
Speaker 2: been one episode and they would have pulled it off

504
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:47,120
Speaker 2: Netflix because it was not not not this is.

505
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:49,240
Speaker 1: Not the is not this is not the Crown.

506
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 2: Right, it's stranger things, but really strange, like not good

507
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 2: that kind.

508
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 7: Of thing, right, I know, because it kept saying you know,

509
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 7: it was like watching Netflix like, oh, that's right, sex

510
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:01,879
Speaker 7: and this I should catch up on that. It was

511
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 7: just really distracting seeing it on Netflix. But I did

512
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 7: look at Tony Vitello's astrology chart the New Manager. He's

513
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:15,199
Speaker 7: a Libra October ninth, nineteen seventy eight, Saint Louis, Missouri

514
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,479
Speaker 7: and interesting. He's a Libra, which is out you know,

515
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 7: relationships and relating, but he has three planets in Scorpio.

516
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 7: He's like has that intensity, talks about you know, good

517
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 7: vibes and you know intensity. People talk about his passions,

518
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 7: so I kind of liken him to like a smiling

519
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 7: Scorpio because he's a Libra, but he has a lot

520
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 7: more Scorpio planets, and he has this way about him

521
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 7: that you know, has this intensity, but he has this

522
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 7: you know, let's have a lot of good relationships in

523
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 7: the clubhouse and with players, and let's all be balanced

524
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 7: and so on, so it'll be interesting. You know, he

525
00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 7: took responsibility certainly for the loss, so he was there

526
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 7: for that. And it's the first game of one hundred

527
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 7: and sixty two. As we all know, it's a long season,

528
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:13,239
Speaker 7: and you know, Mercury is fresh out of retrograde and

529
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 7: it's you know, we just had the spring equinox, so

530
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 7: you know, we got to kind of be patient. But like,

531
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 7: you know, when I was younger, I remember like taking

532
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 7: my radio to school to like listen to Old sneak k.

533
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:28,719
Speaker 7: It just had all this holiday vibe and this was

534
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 7: just like a Netflix TV show.

535
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 1: Yeah it was not. It's just they were trying too hard.

536
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:35,720
Speaker 3: I I.

537
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 2: You know, everyone's like, well, baseball broadcasts are born, so

538
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 2: we've got to redo the broadcast. Well okay, fine, but

539
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 2: you just know, do we need John Cena on there.

540
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 2: I don't know, maybe we do. Somebody loves John Cena.

541
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 2: That's great. They had a comedian on there. And I

542
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 2: love Jameis Winston. I'm a big fan. I don't know

543
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 2: that I need to see him on the grounds crew

544
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 2: or whatever, but that's fine anyway.

545
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 1: All right, well, Andrew, thank you.

546
00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 2: And there's plenty of baseball for months and months and

547
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:03,959
Speaker 2: months Togo, we got lots of baseball, all right.

548
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 1: There she goes Virgo and service Andrea.

549
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 2: She's on that X machine the astrology Insider check in.

550
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 2: So Barry Bonds gave us a monologue here, said that

551
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 2: he hung up on George Steinbrenner and the Yankees offering

552
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 2: him the contract he wanted, and he was going to

553
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 2: go join the Yankees. And then because stein Brenner said

554
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 2: you got to sign the contract by two o'clock, he said,

555
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 2: I ain't doing that, hung up, boom out, went and

556
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 2: had lunch. And so he also said Bonds, I love

557
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 2: this the I'll get to him.

558
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 1: So Bonds goes on.

559
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 2: The Netflix deal and he says on the broadcast quote,

560
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 2: I may not I may not have talked to anybody

561
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 2: off the field, but on the field. I was probably

562
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 2: the best teammate you would ever have. He said, I

563
00:30:56,800 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 2: took more walks from my team, got on for my team.

564
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:04,880
Speaker 2: And that's what baseball is about.

565
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 1: Clothes quote.

566
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 2: So Bonds is admitting that baseball is not about camaraderie,

567
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 2: it is not about the brotherhood of getting along. And

568
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 2: these guys are essentially a family for months. Planes, trains

569
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 2: and automobiles, the whole thing. Hotels, of course, they're five

570
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 2: star hotels with police escorts and whatnot. But Zil Bonds

571
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 2: is going on and on here talking about, Hey, I'm

572
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 2: a teammate.

573
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 1: I took all those watchs if.

574
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 2: I remember not using revisionist history, if I'm not mistaken,

575
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:39,200
Speaker 2: wasn't one of the knocks on barry bars. Now, some

576
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 2: of those he would be intentionally walked. But he took

577
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 2: walks where the Giants there were spots, the Giants there

578
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 2: were hit able pitches, and he did not swing at them,

579
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 2: instead choosing to put the pressure on his teammates to

580
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 2: get those big hits.

581
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 1: And it didn't really work out all that well.

582
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 2: The Giants only started winning World Series after Bonds was

583
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 2: off the team, and then they started having an era

584
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 2: of great success with bonds.

585
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 1: Not part of it.

586
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 2: Also, I did want to mention this, the San Diego

587
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 2: Padres are for sale.

588
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 1: I may or may not have made an offer. I

589
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:20,960
Speaker 1: may or may not have made an offer.

590
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 2: It does appear though that at this point they're in

591
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 2: the final stages of the bidding. And the guy that

592
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 2: owns the Detroit Pistons, is it Tom Gores?

593
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 1: Is that his name?

594
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 2: He looks like he spent a lot of time getting

595
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 2: sun tan. Yeah, And so the Pistons owner, and there's

596
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 2: three others investors, three other investors who are neck and

597
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 2: neck the final bidders to buy the Podres, to buy

598
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 2: the Padres, and so the guy from the Pistons. I

599
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 2: believe one of the Golden State Warriors owners is also

600
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 2: oh part of that or a part of a different

601
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 2: group who's trying to buy the Padres. Joe Lacomb is

602
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 2: his name us out there? But I think Tom Gores

603
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 2: is the leading they're saying he's the leading contender, and

604
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 2: and Joe lakeb is part of a different group. Someone

605
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 2: named Josef Alice, y'all know, I have no idea who

606
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 2: that is. And Dan Friedkin, I have no idea who

607
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 2: that is. I just know they're richer than me, and

608
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 2: they can buy and sell me. That's all I know.

609
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 2: And they were also the finals. So one of those people,

610
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 2: one of those groups will end up owning the Padres.

611
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 2: So and then they'll go back to when I was

612
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 2: in San Diego starting out in radio, and they'll have

613
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 2: buy it, buy the cheapest ticket. I used to go

614
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 2: when I when I worked in San Diego radio, I

615
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 2: would buy the cheapest ticket. The Padres had these fire sales,

616
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 2: they get rid of all their good plays. They alway

617
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 2: kept Tony Gwynn and Bip Roberts. That was about it.

618
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 2: Second basement, like a speedy second basement bit Roberts, and

619
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 2: I'd buy the the most or the least expensive ticket.

620
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 2: I'd sit right behind which you ever dug out I wanted.

621
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 2: And they used to have these Thursday Businessman special games.

622
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 2: It was great, such fond memories. I just was great,

623
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:09,800
Speaker 2: ran the ball with the putters terrible, but it was a

624
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 2: lot of fun, a lot of fun.

625
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:13,640

633
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:41,480

Speaker 5: one big fan gets grilled cool.

693
00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:59,959
Speaker 4: Earlier this week, Victor webbin Yama gave reporters three reason

694
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 4: why he should be NBA MVP. They were that fifty

695
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 4: percent of the game is defense, their record against the

696
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:08,440
Speaker 4: Thunder and his overall impact on offense.

697
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:10,719
Speaker 1: Ben will Wemby win MVP.

698
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:13,320
Speaker 2: Well, he will win many MVPs in his career. He

699
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:16,759
Speaker 2: will not win the MVP this year, although there's only

700
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:18,480
Speaker 2: a few games to go in the NBA seasons. I

701
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:22,480
Speaker 2: think Shaye Jogis, Alexander a Jalen Brown, Wemby are all

702
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:25,799
Speaker 2: a neck and neck and know Lucas getting some late

703
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:27,400
Speaker 2: love here, but he will now he's not gonna win

704
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:27,799
Speaker 2: it this year.

705
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:28,240
Speaker 1: Next.

706
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 4: Speaking of winning MVP, Cad Cunningham's collapse lung will likely

707
00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:33,880
Speaker 4: cause him to fall short of the newly required sixty

708
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:36,640
Speaker 4: five game mark to be eligible for season awards. This

709
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:39,719
Speaker 4: has caused the NBA Players Association to demand that the

710
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:42,920
Speaker 4: league either abolishes or reforms the rule. Ben, do you

711
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:44,520
Speaker 4: think the league will get rid of the requirement?

712
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:47,400
Speaker 1: No, they shouldn't get rid of it the players.

713
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:50,799
Speaker 2: If you can't play sixty five games, you should not

714
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 2: be the MVP.

715
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:54,759
Speaker 1: This is not that hard. Everyone's having a hissy fit.

716
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:56,239
Speaker 1: You're a bunch of losers.

717
00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:59,239
Speaker 2: Okay, how about you show up to work at Maron's

718
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 2: next It's.

719
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:03,279
Speaker 4: Been twenty years since Artie Marino decided that the team

720
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:05,440
Speaker 4: would be known as the Los Angeles Angels rather than

721
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:07,000
Speaker 4: Anaheim Angels.

722
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 1: Marketing move. Yeah.

723
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:11,479
Speaker 4: An assemblyman has introduced legislation that could require any sale

724
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:13,799
Speaker 4: or new lease of stadium property to be conditioned upon

725
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:16,799
Speaker 4: the team reverting back to the Anaheim Angels name, Ben,

726
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 4: you think it'll happen, Well.

727
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:20,799
Speaker 2: I don't know how that legally is allowed. Like, I

728
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:23,319
Speaker 2: don't think that's legally allowed. Or they should be called like.

729
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:26,000
Speaker 1: The Orange County Angels or something like the OC Angels

730
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:26,440
Speaker 1: or something like that.

731
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:26,880
Speaker 5: I don't know that.

732
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 1: This is stupid. How do we do? Koobolo? You pass

733
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 1: this decision?

734
00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:33,319
Speaker 2: That is they went putting it on the barn

735
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:37,560
Speaker 1: Chicken, Da da
