32
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 1: Taste Good Our lead this hour. I do love the

33
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: DQ men. I mean I'm on board. I'm in all right.

34
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: So our lead this hour is from the Pacific Northwest.

35
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:25,799
Speaker 1: It is trade deadline day in baseball, and we had

36
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,959
Speaker 1: a little late night razzle dazzle, which I'm happy about.

37
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 1: As you know, I like to complain. I'm a talk

38
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,239
Speaker 1: show host. That's what we do. We complain, and I've

39
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 1: complained in recent years. It's been a number of years now,

40
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: but when I started doing the overnights, we always had

41
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,959
Speaker 1: the trade deadline that was midnight Eastern and sometimes there'll

42
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 1: be extensions and it would spill into the overnight show.

43
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: And then this redheaded woman named Rachel Nichols complained in

44
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 1: the NBA, and then they changed it to the afternoon.

45
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: Then everyone else followed. So the trade deadline in baseball

46
00:02:54,880 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: is on here Thursday evening, six o'clock eastern clock in

47
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 1: the West. So that is the lead in. And we've

48
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: had some activity here in the trade that came down

49
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 1: here in the nighttime hours. The Mariners. The Mariners, yes

50
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: that I know. They've never been to the World SCE.

51
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: The Mariners have agreed to a deal to reacquire a

52
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: player they traded in twenty twenty three, a Uhanio Suarez

53
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 1: from the Diamondbacks. Now the deal is pending a medical review.

54
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 1: We're not official yet on what Arizona's getting. It's going

55
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 1: to be a gaggle of suspects going to the Valley

56
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: of the Sun, so let us discuss the question for

57
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: the esteem panel. The Mariners have agreed to a deal

58
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: to acquire a Uhaniosaurres from the Diamondbacks. What's your knee

59
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: jerk reaction? So my thoughts on this, I've got Clarendon

60
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: Garlic fries and mind virus, and we will combine all

61
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: of these things together and you're gonna make delicious cupcakes.

62
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: Because often the Mariners turn into cupcakes and big games,

63
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: it just doesn't go very well. But the moment we

64
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 1: are talking right now, the Rangers and Mariners are tied

65
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: for the final wildcard spot in the American League as

66
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: we were at the trade deadline, and they actually have

67
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: a four game series that begins in Seattle here on

68
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: Thursday night. But my first thought on the trade, the

69
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 1: transaction for Auhannio Suarez the GM in Seattle, Jerry Depodo

70
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:37,039
Speaker 1: has apparently finally woken up from hibernation, right he wiped

71
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 1: the crust of the spreadsheet out of his eyes there

72
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 1: and is actually making a move. And it does move

73
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 1: the needle. Now this is not a full needle blast,

74
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: but it moves the needle. Didn't think they had it

75
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 1: in him. I did not. This counts as a big bopper.

76
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: It is a big bopper. You're talking about a guy

77
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: who this can consistently hit the ball four and forty

78
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: feet with a smile, a little little swagger, and so

79
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: it's out of character, that's my thought. It's out of character.

80
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: For Seattle to make this trade. So I've determined, after

81
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: a minute long Malord investigation, as endorsed by Robbie the

82
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: Mariner fan and crying Craig, that the M's front office

83
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 1: took some clarity right and they've cleared things up here

84
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: because normally they're allergic to taking any kind of risk.

85
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 1: And the quote, which is infamous, we've talked about it here,

86
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 1: one of the great embarrassing moments in recent baseball history.

87
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 1: A couple of years back, Jerry Depoto, the GM of

88
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: the Mariners, announced the quiet part out loud. He said,

89
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: the goal of the Mariners is to win fifty four

90
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 1: percent of their games. It is not to win the

91
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 1: World Series. It is not to go all in. It

92
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 1: is just to win enough so you have the illusion

93
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: of contention and your play playing a mathematical equation that

94
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: if you just win fifty four percent of your games,

95
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: eventually you're actually gonna win. Now we know that's meaning

96
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 1: in the World Series, but that's loser talk, right well,

97
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: not right now this summer, Seattle, right in this moment,

98
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: we do the show today, Seattle goes out and they

99
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: get a dude who has been monster mashing this year,

100
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 1: Suarez has turned back the clock and he's got all

101
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: the nerd porn exit v low launch angle, all that

102
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: stuff the nerds get all horny for. And so assuming

103
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: that he doesn't get to Seattle and forget how to hit,

104
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: he'll he'll be hitting Dingers Suarez into Puget Sound again.

105
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: And yeah, it's a rental woo pe damn do. He'll

106
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: be a free agent after the season. He won't be

107
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 1: back in Seattle. But regardless of that, if you look

108
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: around the landscape, I don't know if you've done inventory

109
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: in the American League, but it is softer than a

110
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,840
Speaker 1: marshmallow and a sauna. The Yankees, even though they won

111
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: on a walk off, they've been leaking oil the last

112
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: couple of months. The Tigers completely fell off the schneide,

113
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: and don't even get me started on the cheating a

114
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: one one thousand and two one thousand holes. It's wide open,

115
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: it's wide open. Get in, it's wide open. And Seattle's

116
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 1: pitching for the most part, not that they're perfect, but

117
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: they seemingly could go toe to toe with just about anybody,

118
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: and they've got that Brian Woo In the American League.

119
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 1: All they needed was a little thumpty thump in the

120
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: middle of the lineup. And you know, in theory, of

121
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: course you have to actually do it in the moment.

122
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: But Suarez gives them that. The Mariners, so finally they

123
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 1: actually act like a grown up. They actually act like

124
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: they have a pulse. So on the mal of report card,

125
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give the Mariners an a. I'm giving the

126
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 1: Mariners an eight. The Poto gets a gold star for

127
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: actually doing something bold for once, and you got a shot.

128
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 1: You take it. Now. The d Backs they got a

129
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 1: package of suspects. I can only give them a sea.

130
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: That's it. I can only give them a sea. At

131
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: some point I'll do a Mallard monologue about what a

132
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: scam the Major League Baseball pipeline is. But I will

133
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 1: not do that right now. I will not bore you

134
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 1: with my rant old man radio. Those pipeline it was terrible. Now,

135
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 1: speaking of stunners, as we get to the trade deadline,

136
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 1: to San Francisco we go, and what do you make

137
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 1: of the Giants dealing right handed reliever Trevor Rodgers to

138
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: the Mets. So you might say, on the surface, well,

139
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 1: who cares about that? Is just a relief pictures not

140
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 1: their closer. I don't understand why you're bringing that up. Well,

141
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: the reason this is an interesting story. It's a whirling

142
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: dervish is what it is. Okay. Just a few weeks ago,

143
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 1: I was sitting next to Marlin's man at Dodgers Dantama

144
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:02,079
Speaker 1: Giants were playing the Dodgers. About thirty minutes before the game,

145
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 1: it was announced that the San Francisco Baseball team had

146
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 1: made a trade with the Boston baseball team for Rafael Devers. Right, amazing,

147
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 1: big deal. Blew the budget out of the water there,

148
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 1: tossed it out of the ballpark, out of the bray

149
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,439
Speaker 1: bridge there, and they said, hey, we're one piece away.

150
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 1: We need a cornerstone, middle of the lineup player, a

151
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 1: classic middle of the lineup hitter, Rafael Devers. They got him.

152
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 1: They had him for a month or so, and right

153
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:40,839
Speaker 1: now they say, turn out the Lights's the parties over

154
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 1: sending Trevor Rodgers to New York. So they went, and

155
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 1: this is why it's a whirling dervis. They went, the

156
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: Giants from chasing the penthouse to now folding up the

157
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 1: tent and going down to the soup kitchen. They saw

158
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: the standings they felt the heat and they said we're out.

159
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 1: We are out of here. One minute you're acting like, hey,

160
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 1: we're buyers. We're gonna take down the Dodgers on the

161
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: mats and these other teams, and the next you're unloading.

162
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 1: The longest tenured player and Buster Posey sitting in the

163
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 1: catbird seat there in San Francisco, and he asked the

164
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: question which we like to ask in sports radio, contender

165
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: or pretender. The classic duck test was used, and if

166
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 1: it looks like a duck, it walks like a duck,

167
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 1: and it sounds like a duck, it's a duck. In

168
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: this case, if it looks like a fraud, plays like

169
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 1: a fraud, it is a fraud. And so we have

170
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 1: our answer from Buster Posey. The Giants are a pretender.

171
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: They are a team that was apparently vampires. And we

172
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: know there's a lot of garlic, the Great Garlic Fries there,

173
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,680
Speaker 1: and so the vampires were exposed to those garlic fries.

174
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 1: They could not hang with the big boys, came apart

175
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 1: the seams. So they've decided that the smart move is

176
00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: to cash out, and they've traded their long tenured player Rogers.

177
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 1: He walks away and yeah, good, look, that is a retreat.

178
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 1: The Giants waved the flag, they threw in the sponge.

179
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,559
Speaker 1: They said, that's it, so long, thanks for the quirky

180
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 1: submarine delivery, and there you go. So they sold you

181
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: some snake oil. And now they're back to where we

182
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: thought the Giants would be this year, mediocre, and now

183
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: they're confused. Now they're stuck with the malcontent. Raphael Devers,

184
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: good luck on that. He's not exactly enjoying life outside

185
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 1: Fenway Park. It has not gone that well. All right,

186
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 1: last word to Anaheim we go. That's right, Anaheim, where

187
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 1: the Angels made a very minor move. There's a reason

188
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 1: I'm bringing this up. So the Angels added to their

189
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: roster here at the trade deadline. They acquired a couple

190
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 1: of relievers, Andrew Chaffin, who is thirty five, and Luis Garcia.

191
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 1: This will be his third time with the Angels. He

192
00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 1: is the ultimate vagabond baseball place thirty eight. So those

193
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:05,079
Speaker 1: guys came over from the Nationals, and the Angels traded

194
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 1: a left hander and some minor league first basement. So

195
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 1: it's a very minor trade, but it rises to the level,

196
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: nevertheless of a malad monologue. And here's why. So the

197
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 1: Halo's owner Arti Marino is being blasted that the Angels

198
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 1: have added to their roster, that they've added someone rather

199
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 1: than holding a garage sale outside the Big A at

200
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 1: the trade deadline. So how do you rule on this?

201
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: So I really got a kick out of this because

202
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: some people at least are pretending like they're really worked

203
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 1: into a lather over this. And I don't understand why

204
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 1: you would think that the Angels owner Arti Marino committed

205
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: a war crime based on how some of these nerds

206
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 1: are reacting. Now, I stand with Arty. I think Artie

207
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: is a terrible owner. I think you don't know what

208
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: he's doing, but I stand with him on this. Right. Listen,

209
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,200
Speaker 1: the Halos never go anywhere. They have the longest drought

210
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:02,079
Speaker 1: without a playoff appearance. But so what, Arti Marino's seventy

211
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 1: eight years old. You think he's signing up for a

212
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 1: seven year rebuild and just study Baseball America and that's it.

213
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,199
Speaker 1: Play the minor league game. He already showed you his hands,

214
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: Arti Marino showed you his hands, right, You remember he

215
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 1: had Otani, the great Otani disaster. Everyone said he's not

216
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 1: gonna come back to Anaheim trade Otani. He's gonna go

217
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 1: somewhere else. And what did he do? He kept Otani

218
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 1: the deadline. Everyone said he was nuts, and he said,

219
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 1: I'm going for it anyway. That tells you everything you

220
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 1: need to know. So, for better or worse, Arti Marino

221
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 1: is not and I actually think this is for better.

222
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 1: He is not infected with the loser virus that you

223
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:48,679
Speaker 1: are and those other idiots over there are infected with

224
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 1: that has gone around the league, this contaminant. It's a

225
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 1: mind virus. Just tank, I need prospects, just hope for

226
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 1: the best, right pirates have to show for that? What

227
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 1: are the Marlins? What do the athletics have to show

228
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 1: for that? Squad? Douche right? This trade for the Angels,

229
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,199
Speaker 1: it's obviously not an all in move. It's not even

230
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 1: an all in chip. It's just a flyer. It's a

231
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 1: depth move. And the Angels got a couple of guys

232
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: who probably just eat innings and that's it. It's not

233
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 1: a big deal. And you want to bury Artie Marino,

234
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 1: come on, if you're gonna bear him, do it for

235
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 1: the right reasons. Do it that The fact that he

236
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 1: got upset with a sportswriter of the late great T. J. Simers,

237
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 1: who was a buddy of mine, and move the press

238
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 1: box down near the Pearly gates to screw the media.

239
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 1: Get upset with him. I'm so upset with him over that.

240
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 1: But you don't blast him for trying to continue to

241
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 1: put a competitive team on the field. Now, the Angels

242
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 1: have been just average, but I stand with already on

243
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: this one. He didn't light the deadline on fire. And

244
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: who knows, maybe in the hours to come today the

245
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 1: Angels will make some more trades and they'll trade ken

246
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 1: Lee Jansen or someone like that. But he didn't at

247
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 1: this point, as we're doing the show right now, the

248
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: Angels did not sell the lawn furniture. It's just a

249
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 1: blip on the radar. It's not a blunder. It's not

250
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 1: a blunder, and I actually like it. It's to me,

251
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 1: it's refreshing. Oh, you're just an old guy. But it's

252
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 1: refreshing that they didn't wave the white flag and just

253
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 1: give up like half the league does at the trade deadline.

254
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 1: God forbid a team competes. That's such a that's such

255
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 1: an old guy taking Oh my god, what about the

256
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 1: pipeline A prospect. You gotta get the prospect. Shut up

257
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 1: your stupid prospects. Shove him up your tuckers. Anyway, all right,

258
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, it is the Ben Mahler Show. I just

259
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 1: have seen way too many. I've been scanning trying to things,

260
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 1: you know, find things to the act with you about,

261
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 1: and it's oh, this, this guy is the number seventeen

262
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 1: prospect in the Major League Baseball pipeline. Blow up the pipeline.

00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:14,360
Speaker 1: convenient installation options like mobile tire installation tirerac dot com

309
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:18,119
Speaker 1: the way tire buying should be. And if you don't

310
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: already know, it is Miracle Treat Day over at DQ today, Yes,

311
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:27,399
Speaker 1: which means one dollar or more from every blizzard treat

312
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 1: is donated to your local member hospitals of the Children's

313
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 1: Miracle Network Hospitals. Blizzard treats are even sweeter, if that's possible,

314
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 1: when they support kids who need it most. DQ Happy

315
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:45,880
Speaker 1: tastes good. I've never met anyone that doesn't like the blizzard.

316
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,360
Speaker 1: I've not met anyone that does not enjoy the blizzard.

317
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:53,159
Speaker 1: All right, So our lead this hour is from baseball.

318
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 1: We're gonna bounce around trade of note from the Delaware

319
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:01,120
Speaker 1: Valley and we began the night with the Anio Suarez

320
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 1: trade last hour as he goes from Arizona to Seattle.

321
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:08,160
Speaker 1: But there was a trade in the Delaware Valley that

322
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 1: caught my attention. I know Fats in Philly and Jonathan

323
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 1: and Delaware also aware of this. So if you didn't

324
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 1: see this, maybe not. The Phillies and Twins played, let's

325
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 1: make it to you, and general manager Dave Dombrowski in

326
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 1: Philadelphia shipped off an eighteen year old catcher in a

327
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:31,920
Speaker 1: ball someone named a Duardo Tait that is the centerpiece

328
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 1: that goes to the Minnesota baseball team in return Johann Duran,

329
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 1: the Twins flame throwing closer. He ends up coming back

330
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 1: to Philadelphia, and of course the prospect Huggers are having

331
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 1: a melt out. Oh my god, Dave dom Browski, Oh

332
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 1: what is he doing? Oh my, this is Oh they're

333
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 1: so upset, they're so bummed out. You traded up one

334
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:03,440
Speaker 1: of the top one hundred prospects in baseball. Oh my god,

335
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 1: let us discuss. So the Phillies general manager Dave Dombrowski

336
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 1: being called out for giving up too much to get

337
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 1: Johan Duran from the Twins at the trade deadline. Here,

338
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 1: what say you? Right, what say you? So Johann Duran

339
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:30,360
Speaker 1: goes to Philadelphia and some catching prospect goes to Minnesota.

340
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 1: So I've got Nanny flank Steak and dark Web, and

341
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 1: we'll combine all of these things together and we're gonna

342
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 1: make the Ben Mahler chicken fingers from the landing over

343
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 1: in Liberty, Missouri. That's what we're gonna do, all right.

344
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 1: So my first thought on this number, why I said number,

345
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:55,239
Speaker 1: Why this is a quid pro quot situation. Now, I

346
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 1: was always taught, and maybe I'm wrong, that if you

347
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,919
Speaker 1: want something elite, you have to give up something that's legitimate.

348
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 1: It's usually how it used to work back in the day.

349
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 1: So it's not fantasy baseball, it's not majorly. It's major

350
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 1: league baseball. It's not some kind of minor league operations.

351
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:17,400
Speaker 1: So Dave Dombrowski is not some new age geek. He's

352
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:21,400
Speaker 1: from the old country Dombrowski, and I like it. He's

353
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:25,880
Speaker 1: got big base balls and hair on his chest and

354
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 1: he's sixty nine years old. He's working, yet again a masterpiece.

355
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 1: At the trade deadline, Philadelphia needed a closer. They're steroid guy.

356
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 1: Their closer is a cheat steroid cheat, so he's not

357
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. He's out the whole thing. So they

358
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 1: went out and made a deal. Dombrowski has worked in

359
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 1: baseball front offices since it was a mom and pop

360
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:52,359
Speaker 1: business and there were were no computers and nerds. He's

361
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,879
Speaker 1: his first job was with the Chicago White Sox in

362
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 1: the nineteen seventies. His first job as general manager by

363
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 1: himself was with the old Montreal Expos in nineteen eighty eight.

364
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:06,360
Speaker 1: So it's been a minute, and he knows a thing

365
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 1: or two because he's seen a thing or two and

366
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:13,199
Speaker 1: them is the same Dombrowski. The places he's been, he

367
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:18,640
Speaker 1: swings for Grand slams. He doesn't try to hit base hits.

368
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:20,680
Speaker 1: He goes for Grand slams. He did it with the Tigers,

369
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 1: he did it with the Red Sox, and now he's

370
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 1: doing it here and did in Miami as well. Dombrowski

371
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 1: understands what matters. He's not sitting around Dombrowski the general

372
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 1: manager of the Phillies. He's like, I'm not a nanny.

373
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:38,439
Speaker 1: I'm not here to babysit some top one hundred prospect

374
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 1: and maybe he'll be good. A prospect is a suspect

375
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,199
Speaker 1: until proven other lies. Dombrowski sees the Phillies right now.

376
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:48,880
Speaker 1: He's absolutely right about this. The window is open. It's

377
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,920
Speaker 1: open if you look at the core of the Phillies

378
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:54,880
Speaker 1: and when they're clicking, anyone, when they're clicking, it's fun

379
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: to watch. But Philadelphia in that bandbox Ballpark with Bryce Harper,

380
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 1: Kyle Schwarz and Trade Turner, they're not just on the

381
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 1: way up. They're already there, all right. So this is

382
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,159
Speaker 1: not about, well, we need this catcher. It might be

383
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 1: good in twenty twenty nine. If that catcher pans out, man,

384
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 1: that'd be great. No, by twenty twenty nine, Sward will

385
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,360
Speaker 1: be gone, Trade Turner will be washed up, and who

386
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 1: knows what you're gonna get out of Bryce Harper. This

387
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:25,440
Speaker 1: is about winning a World Series right now, and that catcher,

388
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 1: the player whose everyone's all worked up about top one

389
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:31,880
Speaker 1: hundred plo, Oh my god, you tradered a top one

390
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 1: hundred player A DWARDO'TA oh I can't. But yeah, now,

391
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 1: could he end up being the next yadi Are Molina? Sure?

392
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,679
Speaker 1: He could also be the next Martin Maldonado's. It's a

393
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 1: guessing game. Nobody knows anything. You're projecting greatness because you

394
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,359
Speaker 1: want to believe every one of these minor league players

395
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 1: is gonna be great. He's a teenager, he has I

396
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 1: don't think he's caught a double header in Altuona, but

397
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 1: he's gonna be great In the major leagues. People have

398
00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 1: this magnetic umbulical cord to the prospect. I'm telling you

399
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,640
Speaker 1: it bothered me. I know it's gonna annoy me all day.

400
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 1: When all these other trades happen today. They treat the

401
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:13,359
Speaker 1: prospect is treated now like a family pet. Right, there's

402
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:18,360
Speaker 1: this weird separation anxiety, and it's like, dude, it's just baseball.

403
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:20,879
Speaker 1: The reason you have a minor league system is to

404
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:25,920
Speaker 1: enhance the major league roster. These guys are just chess pieces.

405
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 1: They're not family heirlooms, Okay, they're not. And if you

406
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 1: look at what the Phillies needed, and they needed Johan

407
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 1: in the intercloser, Johann Duran comes in from the Twins,

408
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:45,639
Speaker 1: He's there and that's what they needed, right and he's good. Now.

409
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 1: The guy's a monster. He's under team control through twenty

410
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 1: twenty seven. So you need someone to slam the door

411
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 1: right now and in those close playoff games, on those

412
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,679
Speaker 1: chili nights in Philadelphia. You go get him. You don't

413
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 1: hope that some eighteen year old catcher is going to

414
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:05,439
Speaker 1: blossom in five years and be ready when Bryce Harper

415
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 1: is doing commercials for medicare right, you strike while the

416
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 1: Irons hot and Dombrowski He's always gotten it. He always

417
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 1: has right. He just builds winning teams. And I like

418
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 1: the fact also that he's an irritant to those that

419
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:24,359
Speaker 1: worship all the nerd numbers. It's not that Dombrowski ignores

420
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:28,639
Speaker 1: all that. It's just that he's not married to the formula.

421
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 1: He's willing to go big, and to me, it's a

422
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,359
Speaker 1: great deal for Philadelphia and for the Twins. If you

423
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 1: want to check back in five years as oh ah

424
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:38,880
Speaker 1: it turned out to be great. Okay, maybe it will

425
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:42,639
Speaker 1: be great, but I'm worried about today. I don't know

426
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 1: where I'll be in five years, and neither do you, right,

427
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,439
Speaker 1: So it's an aggressive move. It's a smart move. I

428
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:49,399
Speaker 1: like it, all right. Moving on from that, we're going

429
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:53,399
Speaker 1: over to the NFL to Indianapolis. We go that Ash

430
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 1: Football League, and that is where Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson

431
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:02,200
Speaker 1: said recently that he quote, didn't you enough last season?

432
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 1: So how do you categorize that quote from Anthony Richardson?

433
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:12,639
Speaker 1: So this is el capitan as in captain obvious Richardson

434
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 1: saying he didn't do enough. Oh really, I wonder where

435
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 1: he came to that conclusion. What gave it away? The

436
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:21,959
Speaker 1: part where he got hurt every five seconds, or the

437
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:23,920
Speaker 1: fact that he looked like he was running the wing

438
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:27,680
Speaker 1: t offense and that more than that in a minute? Right?

439
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 1: You know he was drafted. When the Colts drafted him,

440
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 1: it was a big risk. By the late Jim Mercy

441
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 1: right said, well, originally he was supposed to be I'm

442
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:40,360
Speaker 1: talking about Richardson, developmental player, fourth fifth, sixth round pick.

443
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 1: He gets drafted in the top ten. He was drafted,

444
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 1: and it's like, well, this is Filet Mignon, right, file Mignon,

445
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 1: the good stuff Kobe beef, and a couple of years later,

446
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:54,359
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson is just an undercooked piece of flank steak,

447
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 1: and they they forgot to season it and it's just bad.

448
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 1: And your draft after the project and the project didn't

449
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 1: work out. You're never supposed to do that, and you

450
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:09,440
Speaker 1: just don't. You don't rebuild your franchise around a construction site.

451
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:12,400
Speaker 1: But they have He tapped out of the Texans game

452
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 1: because he was tired, right, and that is going to

453
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:19,159
Speaker 1: haunt him. You're the quarterback. You're not some toddler. He

454
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 1: took himself out of a game for the Colts because

455
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 1: he was tired. You don't get nap time on a Sunday.

456
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 1: You only play seventeen regular season games. You're the face

457
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 1: of a billion dollar business. And what are you doing right?

458
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 1: You're running on three G and a five G league.

459
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 1: That doesn't work. And I keep going back to just

460
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 1: the way he has looked Anthony Richardson. He has set

461
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 1: offensive football back. He has to the leather helmet era,

462
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 1: back when the forward pass was just a suggestion.

463
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:52,399
Speaker 2: Right.

464
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 1: You see those old when I was a kid that

465
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:56,120
Speaker 1: used to have this thing called NFL films, and they'd

466
00:27:56,119 --> 00:28:01,119
Speaker 1: show these early NFL videos and you're like, man, there

467
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:03,919
Speaker 1: are a lot of slow dudes, and uh, I mean

468
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 1: a lot of leather helmets. And but he was ranked

469
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson thirty ninth among quarterbacks. You know, any teams

470
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 1: that are in the NFL, it's not a trick question. No,

471
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 1: they're not thirty nine teams. They're thirty two teams, so

472
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,159
Speaker 1: you know how hard that is to do to be

473
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:24,120
Speaker 1: ranked thirty ninth in a thirty two team league. That's

474
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 1: like finishing dead last in a race where you're the

475
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 1: only one who showed up and you finished in dead lige.

476
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 1: Like Richardson, we know how this is going to go.

477
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:36,920
Speaker 1: He hurts a little pinky and he's into the injury

478
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 1: tech right, and he makes there's a guy Carson Wentz

479
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 1: who played for the Colts and others, but making Carson

480
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 1: Wentz look like an iron man. And now another indictment

481
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 1: of Anthony Richardson is he is in a dog fight

482
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 1: with Daniel Jones for QB one. Let me tell you

483
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 1: right now, there are a lot of dogs in that room,

484
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 1: just Daniel Jones and Athey Richardson, and there's also a

485
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 1: lot of fleas in that quarterback room. All right, final point.

486
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 1: We now pivot to medi a Musings, medi A Musings,

487
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 1: NFL Newshounds, Sparring, NFL Newshounds, Sparring, Pro Football Talks Mike Florio.

488
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:25,959
Speaker 1: Mike Florio put Adam Schefter on Blast Now. He said,

489
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 1: Florio that Schefter is reporting favorably on the Christian Wilkins

490
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 1: story due to his agent. David Mullaghetta is the agent

491
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 1: there now. Wilkins was fired by the Raiders a few

492
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 1: days ago, who are now attempting to void thirty five

493
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 1: million in guaranteed money because of some locker room dramenaw

494
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 1: Schefter claimed that Wilkins kissed a teammate on the forehead

495
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 1: playfully at the Raider facility last week. He said, it

496
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 1: was just playful. The teammate took a f that Wilkins.

497
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 1: As a result, they went to HR. Did you even

498
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:07,959
Speaker 1: know that you could go to HR if you're an

499
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 1: NFL player? I wonder if there HR is in building?

500
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 1: I don't know, I know ours is in anyway, Mike

501
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 1: Florio says, something worse happened with Christian Wilkins and the Raiders,

502
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 1: and that Schefter is, as we said, giving a favorable version.

503
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 1: He's helping out the Asian, doing him a solid. So

504
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 1: how does that taste to you? How does that taste

505
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 1: to you? So an it's an NFL insider slap fight,

506
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 1: and to me that is delicious, capital D delicious. You've

507
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 1: got Schefter, who I like Adam used to be believe

508
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 1: it or not. In the early days of Fox Sports

509
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:48,960
Speaker 1: Radio was on here all the time. He worked for

510
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 1: the I know him when he first worked in Denver Schefter,

511
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 1: and then as a writer covering the Broncos, and then

512
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 1: he worked at the NFL network. He's been a ESPN forever.

513
00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 1: But Schefter's out there saying that Wilks kissed the guy

514
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 1: on the forehead like it's some kind of Disney movie

515
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 1: or something like that, and it's great. I'm sure he's

516
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 1: also going to report tomorrow that Wilkins skipped through the facility,

517
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 1: also holding out a basket of skittles for his teammates.

518
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 1: The whole thing, it just doesn't pass the smell doest.

519
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 1: There's obviously more to the story. We are getting a

520
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 1: version of the truth, but not the whole truth, and

521
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 1: nothing but the truth. It sounds like something worse went down,

522
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 1: something really grimy, really grimy. But if you look at

523
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 1: it this way, Adam Schefter is an information broker. Think

524
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 1: of him like a concierge at Caesar's Palace. Right. He

525
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 1: gets you the tickets to the show, but only, okay,

526
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:47,600
Speaker 1: only if you book the room through him. So if

527
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 1: you want favorable coverage, you know who you're gonna call.

528
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 1: And I understand why Mike Florio is all upset at

529
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 1: his shack in West Virginia. He's mad because he doesn't

530
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 1: get those parks in the circle. He's not one of

531
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 1: the cool kids. He doesn't get the same juicy text

532
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 1: messages from some agent who's peddling off information. Instead, Florio

533
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 1: is playing go fish while Adam Schefter is running a

534
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 1: private blackjack table, and he's got Drew Rosenhaus and he's

535
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 1: got that David Mullaghetta, the other agent over there. Like

536
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 1: the NFL gossip, And I dabbled in this when I

537
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 1: had my website many years ago, But the NFL gossip

538
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 1: is like the dark Web. You don't really get the

539
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:34,720
Speaker 1: good stuff unless you trade right. Schefter, he's gonna report

540
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 1: some sanitized bedtime story about Christian Wilkins because that way

541
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 1: Wilkins has an easier path to return to the NFL,

542
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 1: get more money for the agent, and in return, Boom

543
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 1: goes to Dynamite. He gets crab Legs, which is the

544
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:52,480
Speaker 1: Micah Parsons is about to sign a deal with the Cowboys,

545
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 1: and the agent Mullagetta feeds him that info like it's

546
00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 1: a nice five course dinner at a great restaurant. And

547
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 1: so it's not journalists. I'm like, none of this is journalism, right,

548
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 1: I mean, journalism is pretty much dead, all of it.

549
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 1: Everything's traded. But this is bartering. It's like you give

550
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 1: a shaggy dog version of the Christian Wilkins meltdown, and

551
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 1: then next week or the week after, I will give

552
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 1: you an exclusive story. There is video out there of

553
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 1: an AFC South coach with his pants down in the

554
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 1: bathroom at a waffle house, and I will give that

555
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 1: story to you because you did me a good mitzvah.

556
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 1: That's the business. Now. Meanwhile, so Christian Wilkins again, I

557
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 1: go back to this and I'm put some feelers out.

558
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 1: He must have done something beyond bizarre. Right, you don't

559
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 1: lose a gig like that, And an NFL team's not

560
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 1: going to go to the Lanks to try to get

561
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 1: out of thirty five million. Tom Brady's running the show

562
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 1: with the Raiders, but thirty five million just over a

563
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 1: playful kiss on the forehead, like something rotten had to

564
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 1: take place in Vegas and shifters, He's essentially putting for

565
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 1: breeze on a burning dumpster. Is what he's doing at

566
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 1: this point. But I will guarantee you one thing I

567
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:16,360
Speaker 1: know about how this works. The real story, which is

568
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:22,959
Speaker 1: juicier and just more out and tastes wonderful. It's out

569
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:27,359
Speaker 1: there and it will end up leaking out eventually, and

570
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:30,799
Speaker 1: likely sooner than later. That story is going to get out,

571
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:32,719
Speaker 1: So stay tuned on that.

572
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:35,240
Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller

573
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:38,440
Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.

574
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 1: This is a long time ago, it's my think. How

575
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 1: about that I was alive then? This is one big

576
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 1: gets grilled all right, Coop believe.

577
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 6: New Eagles offensive coordinator Kevin Patulo recently told reporters that

578
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 6: he talked to Saquon Barkley about his workload next season

579
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:58,360
Speaker 6: and that he plans to be quote game specific with

580
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:01,600
Speaker 6: how he uses Barkley in the regular season. Ben, do

581
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 6: you think they are going to cut down on his workload?

582
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:04,719
Speaker 6: And if so, is that a bad idea?

583
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, here's game specific. Every game you rush him

584
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 1: until his body falls apart. Listen, the backup. I believe

585
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 1: aj Dillon is the backup. He's not that good. He's

586
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:17,920
Speaker 1: an average running back. No, you ride the car till

587
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:19,600
Speaker 1: the wheels come up. I don't bite it. I don't

588
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:22,440
Speaker 1: believe it. Jalen Hurts is a Middland quarterback throwing the ball.

589
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:24,959
Speaker 1: They have to play this way. They're dominant this way.

590
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:26,760
Speaker 1: They're not going to stop doing it next.

591
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 6: According to a new report out of Jets camp, owner

592
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,759
Speaker 6: Woody Johnson is trusting new GM Darren Mogi and his

593
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 6: new coach Aaron Glenn to take care of the football

594
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 6: side of the operation.

595
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:38,439
Speaker 1: Ben, how long do you think that will last? Well

596
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 1: until one of Woody Johnson's kids says, Hey, Dad, I

597
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:44,440
Speaker 1: made this trade on Madden, and I think that we

598
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 1: should contact Aaron Glenn and then we can make the

599
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:51,480
Speaker 1: trade and we'll get Jared versus the Rams and give

600
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:54,280
Speaker 1: up a couple of late draft picks. Like, No, Woody

601
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 1: Johnson is always meddling around. I don't believe that next.

602
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:00,319
Speaker 6: Charles Barkley made a recent podcast appearance, and he said

603
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:03,320
Speaker 6: he's concerned that ESPN will have time constraints on inside

604
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:05,560
Speaker 6: the NBA when certain games run long, and they'll be

605
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 6: forced to throw a sports center or something after fifteen minutes. Yeah,

606
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:10,480
Speaker 6: and do you think ESPN is going to ruin inside

607
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:12,400
Speaker 6: the NBA thousand percent.

608
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:15,319
Speaker 1: They will try. Uh, they're gonna be solid. We're not

609
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 1: gonna mess with the product, but they'll mess with the product.

00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:16,400
Speaker 7: my burger besides sauce, it's gonna be lettuce. I have

687
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:19,839
Speaker 7: to have something refreshing. It can't just all be like dense.

688
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:24,279
Speaker 1: Well speak for yourself. Cool. Which lettuce? You know that's

691
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:35,759
Speaker 6: Uh I'm assuming that, like I don't know, because I

692
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:37,600
Speaker 6: feel like cheese is like a cheap answer.

693
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:43,080
Speaker 1: What kind of cheese go? Pro bolone you go?

694
00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:48,360
Speaker 6: I mean, I mean pepper drag, a nice sharp cheddar. Yeah,

695
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:50,319
Speaker 6: but I mean I like all kinds of cheese, So

696
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:51,920
Speaker 6: like you can put anything on there.

697
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:54,839
Speaker 1: Pretty much do you mix cheese, do you throw yeah

698
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 1: sometimes yeah, yeah, do that.

699
00:40:57,160 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 6: Yeah. But like if we're not talking cheese, then then

700
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 6: it's gonna be onion, like the strip onion strings.

701
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:08,719
Speaker 1: Those are oh yeah, yeah, that's solid. Yeah yeah, it's

702
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:11,719
Speaker 1: hard like to make all that at the same time

703
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 1: that it was a pain in the ass. I'm not

704
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 1: a line chef, but I can do the iron rings

705
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:18,080
Speaker 1: in the air fryer and then that have them done

706
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:19,839
Speaker 1: because you gotta make it perfect, you know. I don't

707
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 1: want to make them in advance. I want them hot. Right, Well,

708
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 1: what is next year? It's ask Ben? Your questions are answers,

709
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:28,560
Speaker 1: Benny Blizzard? Yes, what the King?

710
00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:31,719
Speaker 6: Rory? Rory actually has a couple of good ones here,

711
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:34,279
Speaker 6: so I'm gonna do them back to back. The first

712
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:36,760
Speaker 6: one is would you rather play pictionary or charades?

713
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:38,759
Speaker 2: Uh?

714
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:43,400
Speaker 1: I think charades? Go charades? What about you like?

715
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:46,760
Speaker 6: Yes, charades?

716
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:48,359
Speaker 1: I agree, all right.

717
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:51,759
Speaker 6: The second question, when using a public bathroom, do you

718
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:54,239
Speaker 6: judge others on how much paper towels they use to

719
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 6: dry their hands?

720
00:41:56,920 --> 00:41:58,799
Speaker 1: No, because I see too many people that don't even

721
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:02,080
Speaker 1: wash their hands, so I don't if you use too many,

722
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 1: I'm fine with that because you're actually washing your hands, Like, yeah,

723
00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:07,920
Speaker 1: you stand there. It's like, oh man, we were Disneyland

724
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 1: a while back and go to the bathroom and there's

725
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:12,759
Speaker 1: like nobody's like they're just dudes are just going in there.

726
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:15,279
Speaker 1: They're you know, grabbing their junk urine eating and they

727
00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 1: walk right out. That's wild, that's no, Lorena. Oh god, yeah, no,

728
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:25,560
Speaker 1: I don't.

729
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:28,040
Speaker 7: I don't judge them, but I usually I don't really

730
00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:29,799
Speaker 7: use the paper towels either. I don't want to touch

731
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:32,160
Speaker 7: anything more than I need to, so I like wash

732
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:32,680
Speaker 7: my hands.

733
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:36,560
Speaker 6: I'm always worried that I'm being judged because I feel

734
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 6: like I use a lot of the paper towels.

735
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 7: How many do you use?

736
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 6: Like three or four?

737
00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:44,560
Speaker 1: All right, let's try to get another one. And what

738
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:45,319
Speaker 1: do we have to ask?

739
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:45,680
Speaker 2: Bang?

740
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:47,920
Speaker 1: Your questions are answer? Fer Dog wants to know.

741
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:50,319
Speaker 6: Do you eat the ice cubes in the bottom of

742
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:51,799
Speaker 6: the glass or do you throw them out?

743
00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:55,400
Speaker 1: No? I wait for them to melt, is what I do, Lorena.

744
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:57,360
Speaker 7: Depends on what I'm drinking. If it's like a frosty

745
00:42:57,400 --> 00:42:58,920
Speaker 7: type drink, y'all eat the bottom.

746
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:03,399
Speaker 1: No, no, gross, no ice cubes. There's
