1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:01,360
Speaker 1: Here we go.

00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 2: Welcome, It's our number what our one of the original

00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:18,480
Speaker 2: home run Derby was last night.

00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:19,599
Speaker 1: Do you buy.

7
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 2: In to the conspiracy theory that Major League Baseball took

8
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 2: care of cal Rally to help him advance and eventually

9
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 2: win the home run derby? Some funny business by Rob

10
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 2: Manford's Major League Baseball? Also, where are you at on

11
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 2: Baseball handing a one million dollar oversized cartoon check to

12
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 2: the person winning the home run Derby? Who oh, by

13
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 2: the way, also has one hundred million dollar contract and

14
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 2: thumbs up or thumbs down? Should Mariner fans be paranoid

15
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 2: because cal Rally is going to go into a slump

16
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 2: now because of the home run derby? Jinks will go

17
00:00:55,680 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 2: there as well. Right now here, it is our number one.

18
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 3: Now it's not just your normal run of the mill

19
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:11,120

28
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:43,920

30
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 2: run derby the Fox Sports Radio Studios, as we are

31
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 2: hanging out, as approved by none other than Tammy in

32
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 2: Montana and also the legend Ford in Dallas. It used

33
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 2: to call the show, but he disappeared, and also kid

34
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 2: call it Charlie in Dallas that you'd think he'd call

35
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 2: more dots the summer, but he stopped calling once he

36
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 2: was done with school for the summer. That's it, and

37
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 2: this portion of the Ben Mallers Show made possible in

38
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 2: part by our friends at ti Iraq. For over forty years,

39
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 2: that's two generations, tire Iraq has been helping customers find

40
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 2: the right tires for how, what and where they drive.

41
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 2: This blows the mind of Ferdnock.

42
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: His mind is blown. Alf's trying to deal with it.

43
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 1: He's seeing a therapist.

44
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 2: Ship fast and freeback by free road hazard protection with

45
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 2: convenient installation options like mobile tire installation tire iraq dot

46
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 2: com the way tire buying should be. So I leave

47
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 2: this hour from suburban Atlanta Truest Park in Georgia, and

48
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 2: I've not been to Truest.

49
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: Park in Atlanta. I've talked to people that have been there.

50
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 1: They said it's great.

51
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 2: I remember when the Braves were leaving Turner Field going

52
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 2: out to the Burbs and people were like, oh, it's

53
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 2: gonna suck, and no other Braves did a good job

54
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 2: of that. By all accounts, I've not heard one bad

55
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 2: thing about that.

56
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: Experience that people that have been there. I love it.

57
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 2: Tommy in Atlanta, who's not allowed to call it show

58
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 2: anymore because he's evil for Cony and Boss does not

59
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 2: allow him to call while he drives his truck around

60
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:22,639
Speaker 2: Atlanta at night, and he's a pan of the show.

61
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 1: I'm sure he loves it. Everyone loves it. But they

62
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 1: was all.

63
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 2: Star Monday Night, Way all Star Monday Night, which means,

64
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 2: for our purposes, the twenty twenty.

65
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: Five home run derby.

66
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 2: And good bye, mister baseball, see you later now. I

67
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 2: don't know if you watched this or not.

68
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: He usually does pretty well in the television ratings, but

69
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: everything's watered down. Everything's watered down these days. So maybe not.

70
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: But we watched so you would not have to. And

71
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 1: the reason we watched there was nothing else on.

72
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 2: If there had been something else on, we probably would

73
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 2: have watched it, but there were it really wasn't. So

74
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 2: I assume you know by now that great night for

75
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 2: the Seattle Mariners. Congratulations the Mariners. Now I don't get

76
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 2: to the World Series. They've never been, but this is

77
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 2: their event back in the day. I remember, I'm old enough.

78
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 2: I remember Ken Griffy Jr. Dominating the derby with his

79
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 2: hat on backwards. And now another Mariner legend, the big Dumper,

80
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 2: cal Raley getting it done. It was a family affairy.

81
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 2: His daddy had his brother out there. Cal Raley the

82
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 2: first catcher ever to win the All Star Home Run Derby.

83
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 2: Holy Mike Piazza and Pud Rodriguez and all other catchers

84
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 2: have gone years gone by, as cal Raley outlasted the

85
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 2: player that many thought was going to win this from

86
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 2: Tampa Bay, Junior Caminero. Good name, and he's got big

87
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 2: things ahead once he leaves Tampa Bay and goes to

88
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 2: a different team. But the final round of the Home

89
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 2: Run derby as cal Ray hit not one, two, not three,

90
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 2: not four, not five out six eighteen dangers for cal

91
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 2: Raley and cam and Narrow had fifteen, and so he'll

92
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 2: have to center for a smaller check for Major League Baseball.

93
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,160
Speaker 2: More on that in a minute, but cal Rawley does

94
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 2: join Ken Griffy Junior the Hall of Famer, the only

95
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 2: two Mariners to win that particular event. And the thing

96
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 2: that I love about this as a talk show host

97
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 2: is that this was a rig deal. There was controversy,

98
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 2: how do you rig the home mun derby?

99
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: How does one do that? Well? I don't have rigged

100
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: is the right word.

101
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 2: But cal Raley was almost eliminated, should have, could have

102
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,359
Speaker 2: would have been eliminated in the very first round of

103
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 2: the derby. He would have been eliminated by the Athletics

104
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 2: Brent Rooker. Now let me explain if you did not

105
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 2: watch and you have not been paying attention here. So

106
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 2: at the end of round one, cal Raley and Brent

107
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 2: Rooker from West Sacramento's A's not just Sacramento, it's West Sacramento.

108
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 2: So they the same amount of home run as they

109
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 2: were tied with seventeen home runs. However, Major League Baseball said, well,

110
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 2: the tiebreaker, the tiebreaker goes to cal Raley by the

111
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,479
Speaker 2: slimmest of slim margins, by the hair on my chinny

112
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:25,839
Speaker 2: chin chin, And I'm not kidding. Major League Baseball claimed

113
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 2: that the longest home run by cal Raley traveled four

114
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 2: hundred and seventy point six y one feet. They said

115
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:39,040
Speaker 2: that Brent Rooker of the A's his longest home rent

116
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 2: went four hundred and seventy feet point five to three.

117
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 2: I'm not making any of this up. I am not

118
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 2: I'm not making this up. So let us discuss the question,

119
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 2: do you buy the conspiracy theories that have popped up

120
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:58,599
Speaker 2: on the interweb that Major League Baseball took care of

121
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 2: cal Raley to make sure that he was not eliminated

122
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 2: in the first round of the home run derby? Did

123
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 2: the deep state of Major League Baseball pull some shenanigans

124
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 2: to help push cal Raley along? So on this one,

125
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 2: I've got quantum physics, slum dog millionaire, and sasquatch, and

126
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 2: we will combine all of these things together and we

127
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 2: are gonna make a hot pastrami sandwich. Now now a

128
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 2: cold pastrami sandwich, A hot pastrami sandwich. I'm on a

129
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 2: HOGI roll. That is what we're gonna make. So a

130
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 2: to answer the question do you buy into the conspiracy? Now,

131
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 2: I would assume that you listen occasionally show and you

132
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 2: know that I am selective. I do not totally dismiss conspiracy.

133
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: I don't.

134
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 2: I have a collection as alf the alien opiner can

135
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 2: prove of tinfoil hats. In fact, I have been immortalized

136
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 2: on the Internet for my tinfoil hat love.

137
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 1: On this one, I'm in.

138
00:07:55,320 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 2: I am absolutely in, in, in in right. So let

139
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 2: me let me go through this. I'm nodding my head. Yes,

140
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 2: you can't see me because it's trade. If you can,

141
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 2: you're a stalker. I'm calling the cops. So guilty as charged,

142
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 2: Guilty as charged of this. In a same world, the

143
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 2: world that I like to think that I'm part of,

144
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 2: you would think, if there's a tie, what do you do?

145
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: What do you do? You go to a swing off?

146
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 1: That's what you do.

147
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 2: Two hitters tied swing off, And that was originally See

148
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 2: this is the thing that buys into the conspiracy. If

149
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 2: you were watching the broadcast originally, who's the guy with

150
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 2: the hairpiece? Carl Ravage, Karl Ravitch. He was on TV

151
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 2: there Sanna. He thought there was going to be a

152
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 2: swing off on the TV broadcast. They were talking about

153
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:47,199
Speaker 2: a swing off. Then the plot thicken.

154
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 4: Do do Do Do doo? They changed their story. Big

155
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 4: brother got involved. Yep, they changed their story.

156
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 2: Baseball decided they were gonna get cute Kizy.

157
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 1: They got Kilzi.

158
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 2: They pulled out the stack cast ruler.

159
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 1: Cal Raley advances, because of the nerds makes you wonder.

160
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 2: Right now, I'm not saying for sure that Major League

161
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,680
Speaker 2: Baseball rigged the home run Derby because I don't want

162
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 2: to get sued.

163
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 1: However, the evidence is there.

164
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 2: You can decide for yourself whether or not the home

165
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,319
Speaker 2: run Derby was rigged like a slot machine in Vegas

166
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 2: back when the mob ran Vegas and they didn't have

167
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,599
Speaker 2: resort fees and charged for parking, and it was a

168
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 2: great town back in the day.

169
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:36,679
Speaker 1: However, here's the thing.

170
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 2: When you're telling me, you're telling me that cal Raleigh

171
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 2: squeaked past Brent Rooker.

172
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 1: By, let me check the math on this.

173
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 2: Zero point zero eight feet less than an inch. Now,

174
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 2: I know that every inch matters, I've heard that before,

175
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 2: but less than an inch, let me repeat that for

176
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:00,559
Speaker 2: those even the back of the room that are a

177
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 2: little intoxicated, less than an inch does that not raise

178
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 2: an eyebrow? It does for me. It does for me,

179
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 2: It it does. We're talking about baseball. This is not

180
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 2: supposed to be quantum physics. I know the nerds a

181
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 2: baseball got a chubby that they got. They got to

182
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 2: decide this based on the stat cast allegedly, So we're measuring.

183
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 1: Moonshots right to the moon.

184
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 2: We're measuring this and it comes down to the width

185
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:35,559
Speaker 2: of the width of a NAT's eyelash decides who advances

186
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 2: in round one of the home run derby, and the

187
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 2: conspiracy part of it when you toss in. Originally on

188
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 2: the television broadcast, they assumed there would be a swing off,

189
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,559
Speaker 2: they said on the broadcast. And so here we are

190
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 2: with the bigger name player. We can all agree on that.

191
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 2: Every man woman in Chili can agree the bigger name

192
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 2: player in this between Brent Rooker and cal Rawley is

193
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,559
Speaker 2: cal Rawley. Cal Rawley's not gonna win the MVP, but

194
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 2: he's had an MVP season, switch hitting catch, a great nickname,

195
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 2: the big Dumper.

196
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 1: What's not to like?

197
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 4: Right?

198
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 2: He's in the MVP ways with Aaron Judge and he

199
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 2: advances to the second round.

200
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:14,079
Speaker 1: Originally, uh, it was what do you advanced?

201
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 2: He advances, He ends up going on and winning the

202
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 2: home run derby crown by a razor thin march.

203
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 1: We are talking again. Less than an inch Okay, less

204
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 1: than an inch like a paper cut is what we're

205
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 1: talking about here. Uh and uh and that ended up

206
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 1: being the thing that that descended it.

207
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 2: And so all things being equal, if we agree, this

208
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 2: is a television show.

209
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: Okay, it's a TV show.

210
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 2: And the story is cal Raley that this is his

211
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 2: magical career year. He's put it all together. He'll never

212
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 2: play as good as this for Seattle, and this is

213
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 2: his career here. You don't have two career years. You

214
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 2: had one career year. So that's the case. And then

215
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 2: you look at Brent Rooker, who's also a good player,

216
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 2: and he's had solid numbers. He's got a nice contract,

217
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 2: making a lot of money. But the baseball mantra is

218
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 2: anybody advances not wearing an Athletics jersey. Do you understand

219
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 2: the Athletics are the shame.

220
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,439
Speaker 1: Of the family of Major League Baseball. They're an embarrassment.

221
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 2: Okay, they play in a minor league ballpark in a

222
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 2: town that baseball is so embarrassed about they won't even

223
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 2: say the name. That's how little major League Baseball thinks

224
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:39,440
Speaker 2: of Sacramento. They're so shamed by Sacramento. It is such

225
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 2: a ward on their ass that they will not say

226
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 2: Sacramento Athletics. You're not allowed to say it. They're just

227
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 2: the Athletics. But where do they play? They're just athletics.

228
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 2: It's so shameful, and so is it beyond the realm

229
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 2: of possibility that Major League Baseball said, I don't know.

230
00:12:56,360 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 1: Nobody will question it. Nobody ever questions the that cast numbers.

231
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 2: Ever, so you've got the ugly, redheaded step children in

232
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 2: the Athletics. Brent Rooker plays for them, who are baseball

233
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 2: orphans until eventually they get to get to Vegas and

234
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 2: so cal No, I'm not gonna hear it say Seattle

235
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 2: is a mecca of baseball. We like to use the

236
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 2: line that came from Cowboy coach Jimmy Johnson back in

237
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 2: the day, where he famously said of Seattle at Southern

238
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 2: Alaska when he had to go up there for an

239
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 2: NFC championship game. However, side by side. If you put

240
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 2: cal Raleigh and Brent Rooker side by side, right, you

241
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 2: put them side by side, cal Rawley's like Taylor Swift.

242
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 1: Okay, It's just that's the case there. So that's where

243
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 1: we are now.

244
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 2: The other thing, and this has been going on for

245
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 2: a little bit, but we were reminded of it. We

246
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 2: forget about it once the derby comes and goes. But

247
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 2: where are you at on Major League Baseball handing cal

248
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 2: Raley the winner of the home run derby a one

249
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 2: million dollar cartoon size check and they win. The winner

250
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 2: of the home run derby won one million dollars in

251
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 2: this case cal Raley, So where are you at on that?

252
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 2: They also had the championship belt and the chain which

253
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 2: you got to tell you, cal Raley didn't look that

254
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 2: cool with the with the chain of they were hoping

255
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 2: for cool, they didn't. Cal Raley didn't look that cool.

256
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 2: He didn't anyway. So this is the million dollar prize

257
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 2: from Major League Baseball. This is the people over there

258
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 2: in New York who run Major League Baseball, who think

259
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 2: they are marketing geniuses. Yet again, Hey, you know what,

260
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 2: at NBA they give out more money for the dunk contest.

261
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: Why don't we take a page out of their playbook.

262
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 1: And then you got the the wrestling people seem to

263
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 1: like that a lot.

264
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 2: They have the belt and people like bling blinge. So

265
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 2: let's put a chain, will have a big thing, and

266
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 2: that'll be the way we do it. We'll get We're

267
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 2: gonna make that derby cool again. We're gonna make the

268
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 2: home run Derby cool again. So get the bags of dog,

269
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 2: get the jewelry out, and it's on. Put some fireworks

270
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 2: in there for the home run derby. Give out some

271
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 2: oversized gloves to fans, and we're in. So we're at

272
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 2: the point now in the story where you need now

273
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 2: need to bribe players to get them to take part

274
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 2: in the All Star Game festivities.

275
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 1: So again, it's just baseball trying to be like basketball.

276
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 1: They're trying to be cool. They're not cool. Baseball is

277
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 1: never cool. I like baseball, but they're never cool. It's

278
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 1: gonna be really cool as a baseball player.

279
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 2: And trying to be a little flashy with the jewelry,

280
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 2: trying to get that in there. And but the thing

281
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 2: about this is, and maybe I'm wrong on this, you

282
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 2: can correct me if I am, I'll give it the

283
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 2: number a little bit, but it's like Major League Baseball

284
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 2: selling the Home Run Derby as slum dog millionaire, like

285
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 2: giving the illusion this is it's gonna be a rags

286
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 2: to riches story. Like in their head, the marketing people

287
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 2: at Major lea the Baseball was like, oh, listen, somebody

288
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 2: who's like on a rookie contract.

289
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 1: Is gonna win the Derby and they're gonna make.

290
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 2: More money for winning the derby than they make playing

291
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 2: for whatever team they play for. Spoiler alert, it did

292
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 2: not work. It did not work, and it wouldn't have

293
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 2: worked anyway. Like if somebody they thought was going to win,

294
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 2: one of these guys on the rookie contract would have won,

295
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 2: it still would not have worked.

296
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 1: Right.

297
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 2: The rags to richest thing doesn't work. Now, I'm old enough.

298
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 2: When I was a kid, there were still baseball players

299
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 2: that got jobs in the offseason selling cars or I

300
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 2: don't think they cleaned toilets, but they had jobs in

301
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 2: the offseason, some of them did. But now everyone's loaded.

302
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 2: Everyone's rich that plays baseball. There's no poor people that

303
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 2: play Major League Baseball doesn't exist, right, do you know

304
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 2: the minimum salary in Major League Baseball this season.

305
00:16:55,840 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 1: Is seven hundred and sixty thousand dollars. If I knew

306
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:06,160
Speaker 1: somebody that made seven hundred and sixty thousand dollars, I'd say,

307
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 1: holy crap, what's it like to be rich? My god?

308
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 2: And so baseball's so out of touch, they're so obtuse

309
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 2: to people at marketing and Major League Baseball, Like, did

310
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 2: they really think that Joe Schmoe sitting on their ass

311
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 2: eating eating bond bonds, watching the home run derby on

312
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 2: their sofa was gonna think? Well, I really feel good

313
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:31,679
Speaker 2: this rags to riches story. Here is a poor, helpless

314
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 2: baseball player only making seven hundred and sixty thousand dollars,

315
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 2: and now they got a million dollars. And of course

316
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 2: it backfired. It was ruled because cal Raley, let me

317
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 2: check my notes, here, seventeen and a half million dollar salary,

318
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,199
Speaker 2: one hundred million dollar contract, and he won the home

319
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 2: run derby. Yeah, so I just gave the check to

320
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 2: his younger brothers, said here go buy some stock, buy

321
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 2: some stock with dividends. Knock yourself out, all right, now,

322
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 2: last word, all right, last word, So cal Rally, big.

323
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 1: Win there, big win.

324
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 2: Now this has created I already got a couple of

325
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 2: emails from our friends that listen to the Great Pacific

326
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 2: Northwest here, because there's nothing quite like a Mariner fan. Now,

327
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:13,239
Speaker 2: you might not know Marion fans because you might live

328
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 2: far away from Seattle with the Marina fan is already

329
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 2: pacing around their apartment, biting their nails, wondering whether or

330
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 2: not Yes, cal Raley is going to now start sucking

331
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 2: and ride the vomit comet. You know, Robbie, the Mariner

332
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 2: fans freaking, Oh my god, he swung through the fences.

333
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,159
Speaker 2: He's gonna fit the jinks? What about the jinks? The

334
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 2: so called Derby jinks? Right that that's a thing? People,

335
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 2: and I spooke Mariner fans, Oh my god, we can't

336
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:45,239
Speaker 2: have nice things. Cal Rawley's gonna blow because of the

337
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:51,400
Speaker 2: Derby Jinks. So thumbs up, thumbs down. Should Mariner fans

338
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:57,639
Speaker 2: be paranoid about cal Raley going into slump City because

339
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 2: of the home run Derby jinks? So I'm going thumbs

340
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,160
Speaker 2: down on this. I'm gonna go thumbs down on this. Now,

341
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 2: this is an old wise tale that has been passed

342
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 2: down from previous generations about the home run Derby, and

343
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,879
Speaker 2: the theory is that the players that participate in the

344
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 2: home Run Derby, the All Star Slugfest. Right, the people

345
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 2: that are out there, they come back cursed that they

346
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 2: have home run PTSD and it just messes with their mind.

347
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 2: Theirs swings are in shambles, and their timing is off,

348
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 2: and their stands go.

349
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:35,120
Speaker 1: Down, down, down, down down. That's how it goes.

350
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 2: But let me help my brothers and sisters in the

351
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 2: great Pacific Northwest. Here, I will put on my shrink cap.

352
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 2: I will be Benny the Shrink, and I will help

353
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 2: you out.

354
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna do I'm gonna cut

355
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 1: through the psychobabble. If you take a deep breath, you

356
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 1: can do it.

357
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 2: You take take a deep breath, You put the anti

358
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,879
Speaker 2: acids down, you put the bottle there, You.

359
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 1: Stop buying the Hogwatch, just stop.

360
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,479
Speaker 2: The jinx is about as real as next time you

361
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:11,679
Speaker 2: go out to Safego Field, Sasquatch, an actual Sasquatch throws

362
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 2: out the first pitch at America Game. There's a better

363
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 2: chance of Sasquatch. Hey, I'm not talking about a mascot.

364
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 2: I'm talking about the real Sasquatch coming out. Bigfoot throwing

365
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 2: out of the first pitch. There's a better chance of that,

366
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 2: right now, I get it. People love a good story, right,

367
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,679
Speaker 2: Stories are the greatest Everyone we learned from stories.

368
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 1: We all learn from stories. It doesn't matter where you

369
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,639
Speaker 1: come from. But the idea that the derby, that the

370
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 1: MLB Home run Derby is going to screw up cal

371
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 1: Raley so much that he's going to be terrible.

372
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 2: And I know why this has been the thing because

373
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,400
Speaker 2: there were players years ago that had bad second half, right,

374
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 2: But the correlation ain't causation on this one, and the

375
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 2: numbers back it up.

376
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 1: The actual data, now, if you go.

377
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:02,360
Speaker 2: We have a long home run Derby history year, and

378
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:06,160
Speaker 2: not just some internet chatter, but actual data has shown

379
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 2: there's no consistent drop off in performance by those that

380
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,679
Speaker 2: are in the home run Derby. Now, are there players

381
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 2: that go into a prolonged slump? Yes, there are, absolutely.

382
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 2: There's others though, like Pete Alonzo, a regular in the

383
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 2: home run Derby, wasn't in this year, or Aaron Judge

384
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 2: who keep Monster Mushing even though they were in the

385
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 2: hor ern Derby. So it's essentially a coin flip, not

386
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 2: a curse. It's a coin flip. And if the big

387
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 2: dumper comes out and takes a dump for the Seattle

388
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 2: Mariners there on the field in late July and August

389
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 2: and all that stuff. It's not because of some mythical

390
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 2: derby voodoo. It's not because of that. It's because baseball

391
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 2: is a grime. We get into those dog days of

392
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 2: summer and it's brutal, all right. It is the Ben

440
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,160
Speaker 2: I've only thrown up a few times. My issues are more,

441
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 2: how can I describe it? Chocolate like a chocolate milk

442
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 2: situation like I've had that.

443
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 1: I've had food poisoning, I've had well, I'm not getting

444
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 1: chocolate ice cream right now.

445
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 2: When I had my gallbladder out, it took me a

446
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:03,919
Speaker 2: while to adjust to my new situation. Like there's a

447
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,439
Speaker 2: timing issue and you have your gallbladder out, like you

448
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 2: have a certain window, you eat certain foods, and you

449
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:14,360
Speaker 2: have to be within a certain distance to the throne,

450
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 2: and if you don't make it there, your body's not

451
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:22,119
Speaker 2: gonna wait. No, it's just gonna unload. And yeah, I

452
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:26,119
Speaker 2: really damaged a few toilets in my time because I

453
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 2: not quite make it in time, which was bad for me,

454
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 2: but it was good for the downloads on the podcast.

455
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 2: I saved that for the fifth hour because you really

456
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 2: talk Pooh. You can talk not Poor Richardson, but you

457
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 2: can talk Pooh on the fifth hour. You know, Poor

458
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 2: Richardson is No, it's not Winny of the Pooh right, No, no.

459
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 1: No, it's not.

460
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 2: He used to work here as a basketball player, and

461
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 2: Poor Richardson was a talk shows here and there was

462
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:54,159
Speaker 2: a drop that I used praising his work as a

463
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 2: talk shows and that was immortalized, I think by it

464
00:25:57,840 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 2: was Danny g or Roberto, one of those idiots were

465
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,679
Speaker 2: saved it in the system. Then it was in honor

466
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 2: of talk shows. I was following him on like a

467
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 2: Sunday night, and that was that. We're starting out with

468
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 2: the home run derby just Josh in Cincin, and I says,

469
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 2: give the nerds an inch and it'll take you for

470
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:17,159
Speaker 2: a mile every single time.

471
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:18,639
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure Robbie.

472
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 2: The Mariner fans celebrated the feat by lighting a scented

473
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:29,440
Speaker 2: candle after a healthy number two Shane and de Moine says,

474
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:31,479
Speaker 2: the players in the home run derby showed up and

475
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 2: showed out, as the saying goes, but all could have been,

476
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:39,719
Speaker 2: all could have used. Hitting coach Ben Mauth, Well, I

477
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,439
Speaker 2: am Benny the Bopper, and we have that somewhere in

478
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:44,400
Speaker 2: the system. But I am Benny the Bopper, and don't

479
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 2: you forget that, Fargo Pete, I'm still looking for the

480
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 2: other all right.

481
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:49,640
Speaker 1: I know there's a lot of sound, Fargo Pete.

482
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 2: I've been here a long time, Fargo Pete, right since

483
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,639
Speaker 2: says hey, Ben, did you just use these phrases less

484
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:58,639
Speaker 2: than an inch and a nerds chubby in the same sense, well,

485
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 2: not exactly the same scent as you did far Go Pete,

486
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 2: you took your creative license to the next level.

487
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 1: Bill, who's your bill rights? In?

488
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 2: Said Mariner talk. I thought they got traded to Oklahoma City?

489
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:16,399
Speaker 2: Who knew, he says, complaining about that chip and the

490
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 2: Q says he plus on the opening moutha monologue. What

491
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 2: you said about the home run Derby is true. I

492
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:26,160
Speaker 2: just shrugged my shoulders, he says, I shrugged my shoulders.

493
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 1: After all, a few years down the road.

494
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 2: How many people will actually remember who won the contest?

495
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 1: I know I won't. Well, you can say that about

496
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:39,400
Speaker 1: pretty much anything, ship like, are you really gonna remember

497
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 1: the minutia about, for example, basketball Oklahoma City winning the championship? No. Now,

498
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:48,880
Speaker 1: if you're Kyrie and OKC and our listeners, you'll remember everything.

499
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 1: But for the rest of us, I think the Oklahoma won.

500
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:52,640
Speaker 1: What year did they win?

501
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 2: Truck Stop Fungus Rights Sin says I stopped watching the

502
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 2: home run Derby years ago.

503
00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 1: It's just silly.

504
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:01,920
Speaker 2: I love a guy named truck Stop Fungus who thinks

505
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 2: the home run Derby is silly. Jason the Diamond Band

506
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 2: says I need to thank Mallor for watching the home

507
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,200
Speaker 2: run Derby so I could watch the grass dry after

508
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:11,119
Speaker 2: a thunderstorm.

509
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 1: Thank you go, very nice.

510
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 2: Mister Irrigation randomly says I think I found weed man,

511
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 2: a new roommate candidate. If he's looking now, he likes

512
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:22,119
Speaker 2: his roommate now, he said. A guy works over at

513
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:25,880
Speaker 2: Walmart they're they're having a good time, having a good time.

514
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:29,359
Speaker 2: Femi rights and says, man, you said baseball isn't cool

515
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:30,399
Speaker 2: and basketball is.

516
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:32,199
Speaker 1: So what's the coolest sports?

517
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:37,400
Speaker 2: Soccer? Hockey? Never mind, it's the NFL, says fem Well.

518
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 1: I think basketball is perceived as cooler than the NFL,

519
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 1: saying the cool if you look at the big board

520
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 1: of cool, not a list, Terry and England not a list.

521
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 1: Big board, basketball would be at the top. You don't

522
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 1: do lists. I don't you know. People that do list

523
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 1: are lazy talk shows.

524
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 2: Ferg Dog writes and says, why can't you let Robbie

525
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 2: the Mariner fan be happy for one span? The Big

526
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:03,719
Speaker 2: Dumper wins the derby, first time he's been able to

527
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 2: celebrate in a long time. The Mariners suck, the Falcons

528
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 2: are a joke, and the Beaves got left to die

529
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 2: in the pack too, and Justin and Cincinnati always calls

530
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 2: him fat.

531
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 1: That is true, That's all all part of the the

532
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:20,479
Speaker 1: bromance there.

533
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 2: Supermarket Steam says, you would think that winning the home

534
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 2: run derby would help someone with momentum into the second

535
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 2: half of the season to tear it up. I guess

536
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 2: Ben is right. Momentum in sports really doesn't exist exactly, supermarket, Steve,

537
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 2: there you go. Now you're coming around, And I don't

538
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 2: even know why you should comment on this, because we're

539
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 2: the ones allowed to talk about the home run deerbery.

540
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 1: You you're allowed to talk about the WNBA. I wish

541
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 1: you could just shut here.

542
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, go to the phone town. He says he's got

543
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 2: a golden ticket. I don't know how he got the

544
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 2: golden ticket. I think this is a counterfeit golden tickets.

545
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 1: I said you gave him when I was done.

546
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 2: Holler and James, I did not give you a golden ticket. James,

547
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 2: you gave it to Tammy. Remember you won one, but

548
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:03,959
Speaker 2: you gave it to Tammy. You can't use a counterfeit

549
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 2: golden ticket. I know why are you using it?

550
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 1: Then? Every golden ticket I give it, you give it

551
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 1: to Tammy.

552
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 6: I wanted jeans outside golden ticket to Tammy.

553
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 1: But I'm waiting for the call in so I can

554
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 1: hear her beautiful voice. And I'll sit on hold all night. Okay,

555
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 1: all right, I'll put you on hold. Go away. All right, there,

556
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 1: you guys gonna.

557
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 2: Stay on, stay on hold. Who's your bill? Says Ben,

558
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 2: truck stop. Fungus has the best shrooms this side of

559
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 2: the Mighty Mississippi.

560
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 1: You don't say so. He just did say. I mean

561
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 1: he typed it out. He said it typed it. So

562
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 1: that's what he said. Absolutely so bad. Jazz a story.

563
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 2: That Major League Baseball does not want you to talk about.

564
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 2: A New York Yankee was in the home run Derby.

565
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 2: Jazz Chisholm Junior in the home run Derby. You probably

566
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,080
Speaker 2: don't know that if you didn't watch it. Even if

567
00:30:59,960 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 2: you watched it, you might not know it because Jazz

568
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 2: Chism he had how many home runs in the derby?

569
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 1: Let's see here in nonce, he have had.

570
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 2: Twenty fifteen no All star infielder for your New York Yankees.

571
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 2: Jazz Chism hit three home runs in the opening round

572
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 2: and was eliminated. He then pointed out that he was

573
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 2: just there for the vibes. He was just at the

574
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 2: home run Derby for the vibes, and he proved it.

575
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 2: He proved it with his performance.

576
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 1: He was there. He looked good, He looked marvelous. It

577
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 1: looked absolutely marvelous. He was styling at the Jersey uniform

578
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 1: out there. The hat was on backwards. He looked like

579
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 1: he knew what he was doing, and then he had

580
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 1: to hit the ball. And that was the problem. That

581
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 1: was the problem.

582
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 2: Remember years ago when I was doing stuff with the Dodgers,

583
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:53,520
Speaker 2: state this guy, you probably don't know who. His name

584
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 2: Mike Piazza. He was a big star, you know, thirty

585
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 2: years ago, and Piazza entered the home run Derby. I

586
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 2: think it was in like Pittsburgh or Philadelphia, somewhere like that.

587
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 2: I think I've been in Pittsburgh. And if I remember correctly,

588
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 2: Piazza did not hit a single home run in the

589
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 2: home run Derby and had his balls busted the rest

590
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 2: of the season, and I don't think he ever entered

591
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 2: the home run Derby again.

592
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 1: That was it. He said, I'm out. I'm not going back.

593
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 1: Let's go back to the phones.

594
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 2: Let's go down to Bennett the comedian, Will Bennett being

595
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 2: the malor Pealosa. Hello Bennett the comedian, Welcome, don't big

00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:49,680

606
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:56,720
