1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 1: Playball, It's our number three, Talking Bay's Ball, It's our

2
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:09,319
Speaker 1: number three The Ben Mather Show. We got the Big

3
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 1: Mother Meet and Greek coming up this weekend in Vegas.

4
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 1: Hopefully you can make it. Details on the social media.

5
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 1: I will not bore you with those details right now,

6
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 1: but we'll be at a cool bar near UNLV from

7
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:23,919
Speaker 1: three o'clock till five o'clock. But here in our number three,

8
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:28,640
Speaker 1: do you believe the Cubs outfielder Kyle Tucker's slump is

9
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 1: directly related to a hand injury which all of a

10
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 1: sudden popped up out of out of the sky. We'll

11
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: talk about that. Also, also talking baseball this hour, who

12
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 1: leaked that Cubs right fielder Kyle Tucker's struggles were because

13
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,839
Speaker 1: of a hairline fracture in his hand. We'll talk about that.

14
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 1: And also the most embarrassing moment of the week that

15
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: goes to the Boston Red Sox manager Alex Korra. He

16
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: said the Red Sox did not challenge the O's outfielder

17
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:04,759
Speaker 1: Coleton Kawser because he has an impact arm, and that

18
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: that's because of scouting. That is blank. Red Sox end

19
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: up losing that game because they did not challenge that

20
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 1: particular baseball player will go there as well. Right now here,

21
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: it is our number three, the crack Cubby, the case

22
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 1: of the Crack Cubby. Welcome in the beginning of another

23
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 1: hour of the Ben Mahler Show. We are in the

00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: as we are occasionally lost in the shuffle coast to coast, border,

26
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: the border, and beyond on the vast and muscularly powerful

27
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: microphones of fs are emminating live from the wittle as

28
00:01:54,320 --> 00:02:01,000

Speaker 1: at the Fox Sports Radio Studios, as approved by not

30
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:09,160

38
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: from sweet home Chicago, where the pizza is good and

39
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: the sports are usually pretty mediocre. Now the Cubbies somehow

40
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:49,519
Speaker 1: won again. I was watching this game and came down

41
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: to the ninth inning and it was a big defensive

42
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 1: play at the end of the game. There the Cubs

43
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,959
Speaker 1: won again. They beat the brew Crew. They've now taken

44
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 1: three in a row over the Milwaukee Brewers. The Brewers

45
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:03,519
Speaker 1: have cooled up and they had all the momentum. Why

46
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: would the Brewers lose? They had all the momentum. I

47
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: don't understand why the Brewers would lose. They had momentum.

48
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: But that's not what we're talking about right now. That's

49
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: not the story. The story is the demotion Derby, not

50
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 1: demolition Derby. The demotion Derby and a follow up to

51
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: a story we talked about in a previous episode of

52
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: the show. If you've not been paying attention, maybe not.

53
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: A brand new report, brand new report claiming that Cubs

54
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: outfielder right fielder Kyle Tucker, and we talked about this

55
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: the other day. Kyle Tucker has been benched for Malfeasan's

56
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: at home plate and they say, well, he's just gonna reset,

57
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: which is code for he sucks, so he's gonna reset.

58
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: He's not playing very well right Nobody He's gonna be fine,

59
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: He's gonna be fun. Well, now the story comes out.

60
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: The plot thickens that Kyle Tucker was diagnosed in early

61
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: June with a hairline fracture in his right hand out

62
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 1: of my aching right hand manager Craig Counsel, who defected

63
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: from the Milwaukee Brewers Council, a former Dodger, confirmed the

64
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 1: story by saying that Kyle Tucker's injury, though is fully healed,

65
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: fully healed. You wouldn't know that from reading the headlines.

66
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 1: So let us discuss question for the esteem panel. Do

67
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: you believe that Cubs outfielder Kyle Tucker's slump is directly

68
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 1: related to his hand injury? So my views on this,

69
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: I have Moscow Thanksgiving dinner and trained circus seal, and

70
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: we will combine all of these things together and we're

71
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 1: gonna make the Gabba gool. We're gonna make the Gabba

72
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: gooul is what we're gonna right. So, first of all,

73
00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you that being around baseball for a

74
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: long time, much closer back in the day than I am, now,

75
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 1: this is the most predictable story, the most predictable story

76
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: you could have imagined. This is a humdinger of a

77
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 1: go to excuse in baseball, or as they said when

78
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 1: President Biden was in the White House there, it's misinformation,

79
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: is what it is. Misinformation? Uh Tucker, let me tell

80
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: you why this is ridiculous. So Kyle Tucker after the injury,

81
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: after the injury, Kyle Tucker went out and batted three

82
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: hundred three h two had a nine to thirty three

83
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:40,559
Speaker 1: ops for a full month after he suffered a right

84
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:47,720
Speaker 1: hand fracture. The slump did not start until after he

85
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:54,279
Speaker 1: was bawling for a month. So I asked the question, like,

86
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,479
Speaker 1: what what is that the injury took a month to

87
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 1: kick in? Was he using some slow release adville that

88
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: you gotta wait a month? And then he kind of wears, all,

89
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: are we supposed to believe the fracture It had a

90
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 1: thirty day activation window and then all of a sudden,

91
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 1: after thirty days, Ah, my aching on my wrist. He

92
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 1: was absolutely cooking for the cups for a month after

93
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 1: the injury. Then suddenly Kyle Tucker, to quote the late

94
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: great Timy Disorda, couldn't hit water if he fell out

95
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,160
Speaker 1: of an f and boat. And then he gets benched.

96
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: So my response to the Chicago Cups story. Now this

97
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: I don't believe this is a cup store. This is

98
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: a cup related story. But my response is three words Russia, Russia,

99
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 1: Russia as in Moscow, the Bolshoy ballet, choreographed spin or

100
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:52,839
Speaker 1: as the Great Jay Scoop would say, bull pucky, bullpucky,

101
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 1: straight up bull pucky capital B. You know what this is.

102
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 1: This is the baseball version you know of my dog

103
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 1: ate my homework, right or my WiFi went out and

104
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: I accidentally deleted the thing. And yeah, of course in

105
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 1: this case talking about the dog ate my homework. The

106
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: dog is a pinky fracture, right or what a wrist

107
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: little wrist injury. And the month of August the ops

108
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: three eighty one. So he went from nine to thirty

109
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: three right after the injury for a month, and then

110
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: he's at three eighty one in August and gainst bench

111
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: and doesn't hustle dogs it with the cobs. G Man's

112
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 1: just disappointed. You know, Chicago fan Tree in Chicago. By

113
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 1: the way, Tree, you got to reach out to me.

114
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: Tree is supposed to be in la He wants to

115
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 1: come by the studio next week. You got to let

116
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: me know, Tree so I can give you the details

117
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: on that. But anyway, the guys in Chicago, that's a

118
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: hearty town. I don't want a guy who's not hitting

119
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: and not hustling and all that stuff. The only people

120
00:07:55,920 --> 00:08:01,679
Speaker 1: that would buy the story that's out there are Country Bumpkins. Oh,

121
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: he's just pressing because of the injury. No, Kyle Tucker's

122
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: pressing because he's in a contract year and he's hitting

123
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: like a backup catcher to a backup catcher at this

124
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 1: particular point. Now, secondly, I would like to play with

125
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: you one of my favorite games. It's a parlor game.

126
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 1: The game is who leaked that Cubs outfielder Kyle Tucker.

127
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 1: The reason he's struggling is because of the hairline fractor.

128
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:34,679
Speaker 1: Who leaked that story? So, as always, you start with

129
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: the basics. You got to start with the bedrock, the

130
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 1: building blocks. And there are two questions that have to

131
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 1: be asked when you play the parlor game. The first question,

132
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 1: numero uno, who stands the game? Who stands again? Now

133
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: numero dos? Why now? Right? Those are the two questions,

134
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 1: who stands the game and why now? And when you

135
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 1: look under the hood, when you look under the hood

136
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 1: of the car and you check the carburetor. There's only

137
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 1: one answer, Team Kyle Tucker. Ding Ding ding ding ding bingo.

138
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: That is Team Kyle Tucker. This is straight out of

139
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: the Baseball spin doctor's handbook. You don't have to be

140
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: some kind of high falutin, highly educated out of academia

141
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 1: PhD in sports medicine or something else to figure out

142
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: It's clear, as I understand the way these stories work,

143
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 1: that Kyle Tucker's camp. I'm not saying it's Kyle Tucker himself,

144
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: but somebody that is writing his coat tails, someone that

145
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:38,319
Speaker 1: is making their living off of his efforts. His camp

146
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: is standing on the street corner with a bullhorn yelling,

147
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:48,679
Speaker 1: don't blame my guy, blame his bones. It's classic sporty scapegoating.

148
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 1: Nobody does it more than baseball baseball players. Anytime somebody sucks,

149
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,959
Speaker 1: if it's a pitcher, it's he's tipping his pitches. If

150
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: it's a hitter, he's got some kind of undisclosed injury

151
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 1: that he's trying to play through. It's never that a

152
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 1: guy just all of a sudden blows. It's never that.

153
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:09,560
Speaker 1: It's always either he's hurt or he's tipping something, or

154
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 1: it always works that way. It always works that way.

155
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 1: So the scapegoating is, well, he's not really stinking up

156
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 1: like rotten eggs Wrigley Field because he's washed. He's stinking

157
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: it up because he's wounded. That's the story. Yeah, that's

158
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 1: the ticket, that's the sales pitch. You know what this

159
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 1: is like. It's like when you show up late to

160
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving dinner. You don't say, yeah, yeah, I overslept. I'm

161
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: sorry a little late. I overslept. No, no, no, you say, well,

162
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: the traffic was just brutal. I'm sorry, my dear aunt.

163
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 1: I'm sorry that the traffic was terrible. That's the cover story.

164
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 1: You gotta have a fall, gotta have a fall. Guy. So, yeah,

165
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: Kyle Tucker's riding the vomit comet. And we can explain

166
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: that because a little cracked, little crack crack, and he

167
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 1: cracked in foundation. And why now, why now he's timing,

168
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 1: my friend, It's always timing. Kyle Tucker got his eyes

169
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 1: right now. His eyes are locked in on the bulls eye.

170
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:16,439
Speaker 1: The bullseye is the ATM machine. Money, many money, make

171
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 1: it rain, make it rain, money, money, money, he's walking.

172
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 1: You realize how much money this man's looking at he's

173
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: walking into the bank of Major League Baseball and he's like, hey, listen,

174
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 1: you're the teller. I would like you to hand me

175
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 1: five hundred million. There's chatter he's gonna get six hundred million.

176
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:40,359
Speaker 1: That's a lot of checkers, it's a lot of paysols.

177
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: So he's going to market at the end of the year.

178
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 1: And Tucker's agent in my head is like, hey, pay

179
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 1: my man. He's not broken. He's just broken, if you

180
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 1: know what I mean. So you gotta play the PR game.

181
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 1: You gotta play the PR game. You can't let the

182
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:59,319
Speaker 1: narrative be Kyle Tucker is not even thirty years old

183
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 1: and he's playing like a guy named Kyle from accounting.

184
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 1: You can't do that. So you control it. You control it.

185
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: You leak the injury out. You have useful idiots called

186
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 1: baseball writers, and you leak the story out, and you just

187
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 1: kind of go with it, and you put the fracture

188
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 1: out there and you put it on trial, and suddenly

189
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 1: Kyle's not garbage anymore. He's just unlucky. He's just unlucky,

190
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 1: and he shouldn't be playing. And oh, you know, out

191
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 1: of an abundance of caution, we should shut him down.

192
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 1: Case clothes, case close. Now, the leak did not come

193
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 1: from the Cubs. Why would the Cubs leak That makes

194
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 1: no sense for them to leak that, right, because they

195
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,319
Speaker 1: didn't announce it a month earlier. So why did you

196
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 1: hold that information. It didn't come from some random clubhouse attendant.

197
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 1: I don't believe that. I don't this was orchestrated by

198
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 1: the penthouse suite of the Camp Tucker right. A classic move.

199
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 1: They are classic damage control. And if you don't believe that,

200
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 1: I will I will tell you some of Lake Michigan,

201
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 1: because I lake Michigan. So if you want to buy

202
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 1: some of Lake Michigan, I'll say some of the lake.

203
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 1: All right. Now, final thought, another great story from baseball

204
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:10,719
Speaker 1: this week out of Boston, and several of you were

205
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: very upset that I did not address this issue in

206
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 1: the previous episode of the show. A guy from Vermont,

207
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 1: which is far away from Boston, but he said, oh,

208
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 1: listen to your show. I said, I'm the only person

209
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 1: that lives in Vermont. There's three people. There's Arnie Spanier

210
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: and Ben and Jerry. That's it. Those are the only

211
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: people live in Vermont. Any this guy, you you should

212
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 1: have mentioned it all right. So for those who don't

213
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: know the story, manager Alice Cora cheating asstro Alex Cora

214
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 1: is still facing backlash for a decision he made earlier

215
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 1: this week at Finnway Park. So it was the eleventh

216
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 1: inning game the other night. The Red Sox are playing

217
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:58,080
Speaker 1: the lowly Baltimore Orioles, and the Red Sox had a

218
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 1: pinch runner named Nick Eaton. Nick Eaton is the name

219
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 1: and a quick guy, no name baseball player, so he's

220
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 1: on third base, he's on third base. The Red Sox

221
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 1: are trailing Baltimore four to three. They had sacrificed the

222
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 1: runner to third. So there's one out in the inning,

223
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 1: one out, and it's the eleventh inning. You're down by one.

224
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 1: Roman Anthony, the chosen one for the Red Sox. He

225
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 1: comes to the home plate area. He hits a fly

226
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 1: ball that was estimated at two hundred and sixty five feet,

227
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 1: so a routine flyball to center field, perfect type of

228
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 1: flyball for a sack. Fly. Game is going to be tied.

229
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 1: We'll play on to the twelfth inning unless the Red

230
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 1: Sox win it. There not so fast, my friend. You see,

231
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 1: just after the Orioles centerfielder Colton Kowser made the catch

232
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 1: on the pop fly, he unleashed a wild throw that

233
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 1: was completely offline. It was closer to going into the

234
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 1: stands near third base than it was going to home plate.

235
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 1: The throw ended up between third base and home plate

236
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 1: and did eaton the pinch runner? Did nick eaton? Score?

237
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: Known for speed now? He returned to the bag after

238
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 1: pump faking that he was gonna score now the next batter,

239
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 1: Another cheating astro Alex Bregman popped up, good afternoon, good evening,

240
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 1: and good night. Game over Baltimore wins. So When peppered

241
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 1: with questions about the clear of mouth feasance on what

242
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 1: he did. Who's to blame for the silly strategy? Do

243
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 1: you blame the runner? Do you blame the third base?

244
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 1: Coach Alex Cora snapped, he said, quote, we prepared before

245
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 1: the series and that's an impact arm talking about Colton Kowser,

246
00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 1: and we decided not to challenge him. Quote question Alex

247
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 1: Cora admitting that the Red Sox did not challenge outfielder

248
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 1: Colton Kowser of Baltimore because of his impact arm. Down

249
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 1: by a run in the eleventh inning because of a

250
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 1: scouting report is blank. So I wrote down my word.

251
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: We're doing the word association game. My word is emasculating

252
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 1: with the Capitol League. Emasculating with a Capitol League. It's

253
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 1: also humiliating, like the Red Sox manager just admitted to

254
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 1: the world that he is nothing more than just a

255
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 1: middle manager. It's like what Joe Madden, the old Cub

256
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 1: manager said when he was managing the Angels. It's like

257
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 1: all these jobs, you're just a middle manager now and

258
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 1: that's all. You're just doing what the nerds want. And

259
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 1: so Cora admitted it. He said the game was essentially

260
00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 1: decided before the series started, that there's no feel of

261
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: the game. Have a hunch, bet a bunch, there's no instinct.

262
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 1: There's no competition. For one hundred and fifty years, baseball

263
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 1: sold competition. Now it's the three ring binder. It says

264
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: don't run, you don't run, period hard stop. It says

265
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 1: we don't run. Poindexter said we shouldn't do it. The

266
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 1: algorithm said we shouldn't do it. We shouldn't do it.

267
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 1: And what does that make Alex Cora? That makes Alex

268
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 1: kra a trained circus seal. That's what he is just

269
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 1: imagine Alex with a little hat on his head and

270
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 1: a red ball on his nose. Clap clap, clap, clap,

271
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 1: clap clap, here's your fish. And this is what drives

272
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 1: me nuts. And I know that this is just small potatoes.

273
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 1: It's a regular season game in August, and my main

274
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 1: rage will come when the big October baseball game start

275
00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 1: to me. It goes against the ethos of what this

276
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 1: is supposed to be. Whatever you think this is supposed

277
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 1: to be, that is not it, right, the whole spirit

278
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 1: of sport athletic competition to test the boundaries of the

279
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:15,159
Speaker 1: human body. And he said, well, that's too dramatic, and

280
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 1: maybe it is, but at least make the other guy

281
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:21,399
Speaker 1: make a play. Now again, I'm getting old or just

282
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 1: an old head. But that's the way I fell in

283
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:28,640
Speaker 1: love with sports, testing whether or not you could get

284
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 1: it done when the pressure was immense, right and there

285
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 1: was a lot on the line to test the other team.

286
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 1: It's one of the reasons that I love the old

287
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 1: school way of putting the ball in play, making the

288
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:46,919
Speaker 1: defensive player make a play. Force competition that goes against

289
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 1: that belief. Forcing competition goes against everything that these people

290
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 1: they stand for instead, like the Red Sox are a

291
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 1: great example. They had a moment where they could have

292
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,639
Speaker 1: tested a guy who has a really highly rated arm

293
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 1: and impact arm, as Alex Corse said fifteen times, I

294
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 1: could have tested it. The Red Sox punted. The moment

295
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,959
Speaker 1: was too big. They weren't ready for the moment because

296
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 1: the simulation told them, don't do it. The simulation said

297
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 1: don't do it now. Ac Cording to simulation, this guy,

298
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 1: Colton Kowser would have thrown a perfect bullet right the

299
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:29,159
Speaker 1: home plate and that would have been it. Instead, the

300
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:35,199
Speaker 1: ball went sailing all right, sail away, sail away. That's it.

301
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 1: And these people have been indoctrinated to the point that

302
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: they believe their own bull crap. They believe that there's

303
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 1: only one way to do this, and they're doing it

304
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 1: the right way. And that's where the analytics has a

305
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:55,919
Speaker 1: hairline fracture, like Kyle Tucker wink wink nod nod of

306
00:19:55,920 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 1: the Cups hairline fracture there, and nobody wants to talk

307
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 1: about it. We'll have that conversation if you want, but

308
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 1: nobody won't really in the game, they don't want to

309
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: talk about it. It's called the clutch factor. According to

310
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 1: the analytics, it doesn't exist that and a bat in

311
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 1: the first inning is the same as in a bat

312
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 1: in the ninth inning with two outs and two runners

313
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 1: on down by a run or in this case, a

314
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 1: fly ball, you're playing the outfield you have to make

315
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 1: a throw is the same in the ninth inning as

316
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:32,679
Speaker 1: it is in the second. An it's not dummy, it's

317
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 1: not you morons. But yet this continues, and it's only

318
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 1: gonna get worse and worse because there's no other way

319
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 1: to do it. There's only one way to do it,

320
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 1: and you got to do it this way. If you

321
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 1: don't do this way, you're dummy, and we'll kick you

322
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:47,159
Speaker 1: out of baseball. And that's it. You're done, right, And

323
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 1: so you eliminate whether or not someone can choke because

324
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 1: you don't put them in a position to choke. You know,

325
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:57,119
Speaker 1: I go back to the World Series last year. The

326
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 1: Yankees choked the World Series away. They did, and the

327
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 1: only reason they did that is because the Dodgers put

328
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 1: the ball in play and forced them to make defensive places.

329
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,640
Speaker 1: But it wasn't by some kind of analytical design. It

330
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 1: was the fifth inning and they were futzing around Aaron Judge,

331
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 1: and you know the other Yankees, Garrett Garrett Cole not

332
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,640
Speaker 1: covering first base. We go through Volpi butchering a ball

333
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,680
Speaker 1: at shortstop. But the analytics would be like, ah, those

334
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: guys are good players, they'll be fine. Volpi was a

335
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,639
Speaker 1: Gold Globe winner, and you got the highest paid pitcher,

336
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 1: you got Aaron Judge of the MVP. And they all

337
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 1: left up every one of them, left up right, every

338
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:38,359
Speaker 1: one of them. And so you don't know what you

339
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 1: don't know unless you try. And yet the Red Sox

340
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:46,120
Speaker 1: are like they didn't try because Alice Cora has been programmed.

341
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 1: That's that's the programming, right. And my favorite part is

342
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 1: Cora is so obtuse that he doesn't even realize what

343
00:21:56,760 --> 00:22:02,399
Speaker 1: he's admitted. He goes up there all cocky postgame and

344
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 1: he probably tells the world you and I that listen,

345
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:10,880
Speaker 1: I managed the Boston Red Sox and I am irrelevant. Yeah.

346
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 1: I just follow my orders. That's all I do. But

347
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:19,400
Speaker 1: good for you, Alex, congratulations. You're not a manager, because

348
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 1: a manager would go up make their own decisions. You're

349
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,640
Speaker 1: just like a pr guy. And you clap a little

350
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 1: bit in the dugout. You got your computer program and

351
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 1: all that stuff. So why exactly are you one of

352
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:35,359
Speaker 1: the highest paid managers in baseball? Like, couldn't you get

353
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 1: I don't know, Blind Scott or somebody or Mike the

354
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:41,399
Speaker 1: Leprechaun to manage the Red Sox if that's JD and Boston,

355
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 1: one of those guys Mike in New Hampshire could manage

356
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 1: the Red Sox. And for media relations, I guess that

357
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 1: because he's kind of cool. The writers like him, and

358
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 1: I imagine he'll likely feed them a lot of stuff

359
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 1: off the record. But my god, a smile waved to

360
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,440
Speaker 1: the camera. He's like a character actor or a bad

361
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 1: movie lines. You hit your mark, you know, don't you

362
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 1: dare improvise? Do not improvise. That's not really preparation. It's

363
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 1: like it's just a cowardly way to play baseball. All right,

364
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:12,400
Speaker 1: I've gone way too long. I just had to get

365
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,680
Speaker 1: that off my chest. It is The Ben Maler Show

Speaker 1: Major League Galfielder, most known for the days with the

Speaker 1: Atlanta Braves. Former Braves outfielder Jeff fran core was in

374
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 1: Triple A years ago. His teammates all convinced him that

375
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 1: one of the pitchers was blank, and he believed it

376
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:53,200
Speaker 1: for a month. Again. Former Braves outfielder Jeff frank Corey

377
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 1: was in the minor leagues years ago. His teammates convinced him.

378
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 1: All of them convinced him that one of their pitchers

379
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:01,439
Speaker 1: was blank, and he believed that for It's the Mallor

00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,720

Speaker 1: Queen and Cooper Loop at a Bronco. Here's the malor

418
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 1: Riddle of the day. When former Braves outfielder Jeff Francre

419
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 1: was in the minor leagues number of years ago, his

420
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:11,960
Speaker 1: teammates all convinced him that one of their pitchers was

421
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 1: blank and he believed it for a month. All right,

422
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 1: that is the question. I'm a little scared to see

423
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,159
Speaker 1: what the answers are because I gotta tell you, I

424
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 1: have a feeling that most of these answers I will

425
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:25,679
Speaker 1: not be able to read on the air, but I

426
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:29,639
Speaker 1: will be somewhat optimistic that a few of them will

427
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 1: make the air. Andy from Lionel Lakes, Minnesota, he's honoring

428
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 1: Angry Bill. He says the players convinced Jeff frank Kerr

429
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:46,640
Speaker 1: that one of their teammates was a nine year old girl. Yeah, Scrooge,

430
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,640
Speaker 1: says black Zilla. Who else do we have? An alien

431
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 1: from the planet Vulcan from ferg Dog he was a

432
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 1: sailor guardian from King Rory. Who else we have Mantai

433
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 1: Teo's dead girlfriends first husband? All right? That was from

434
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 1: Mallard prop guy, very funny. A big box store worker

435
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 1: overnight from clam an alien guessed by alf the Alien

436
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 1: ol Piner. Who else do we are? I see, I

437
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 1: see JT. The wing Man's out there. He's not gonna

438
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:19,440
Speaker 1: be able to make the meet and greet though on Saturday?

439
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 1: Who else up page down inca terrorist says the real

440
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 1: Captain Kangaroo is the answer? Who else? Fudgi says a

441
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,199
Speaker 1: Mallard Riddle. Answer is an alien? So he went with

442
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 1: alien as well. Eke in Roseville, Minnesota going with an

443
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,959
Speaker 1: Abe Lincoln. He convinced him he was Abe Lincoln. Freddy

444
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 1: Krueger from Ozzie Waz in Western Australia. JT. The wing

445
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 1: Man's answer was the legend of bagger Vance. That's the answer.

446
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:51,160
Speaker 1: Who else do we have? A drag queen? Guessed by

447
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 1: Trucker Joe on the Highways and Byways of North America.

448
00:27:56,400 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 1: Fat Daddy, who's an Angels fan, says that he thought

449
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 1: that the other player was a cross dresser's day. Yeah,

450
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 1: that's about well, he's not. No, that's not. But it

451
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 1: is fat Daddy, So I guess he is the daddy.

452
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:10,680
Speaker 1: I guess fat Daddy. Would that would make him the

453
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 1: daddy because he's fat Daddy, and that that would be

454
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 1: that would make sense. What else do we have this?

455
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:19,200
Speaker 1: See page Dan, we'll skip over that one. Ard enough

456
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:20,879
Speaker 1: of that, Lorraina, do you have an answer? It's the

457
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 1: malar riddle of the day. Former Major league outfielder a

458
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:25,680
Speaker 1: guy named Jeff Francre, mostly known for his days with

459
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,120
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Braves. He was in Triple A years ago

460
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:31,359
Speaker 1: and his teammates all convinced him that one of the

461
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:34,639
Speaker 1: pitchers in Triple A was blank and he believed it

462
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 1: for a month.

463
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 6: Royalty, Ben, they believe royalty Royalty.

464
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 1: That's a great answer. Part of the Royal family. Is

465
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 1: it royalty? Is that the answer?

466
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 4: No?

467
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 1: Uh, the correct answer. Jeff Frankcore, former Major League baseball player,

468
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 1: was convinced that one of his teammates was deaf. Was

469
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 1: hearing impaired for an entire month and he believed it.

470
00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 1: What'd you say? Yeah, that's a good that's a good bit.

471
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 1: I like that. That's good. That's what you know. That's

472
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 1: what men do. We bus pulls. I like that. That's

473
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 1: a good story. It's a solid story. Why not? And

474
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 1: I can't hear? I wonder if Frank Korr said anything

475
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 1: around him that he wouldn't have said because he thought

476
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 1: the guy couldn't hear. Because that's the group we're allowed to.

477
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 1: You know, you might say something you would not say

478
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 1: if you thought the person could hear you. And I

479
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 1: can do that whole thing. The other thing is like

480
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 1: when he was pitching, like Frank core, I guess he's

481
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 1: in the outfield, so he didn't really matter if you

482
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:32,959
Speaker 1: wouldn't you see people talking to him and he's if

483
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 1: he's deaf, like like you say, well, he's really good

484
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 1: at reading lips. He's a really good lip reader. Yeah.

485
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 1: So I have a prediction I would like to make.

486
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 1: I mentioned that anytime a baseball player does not do well,

487
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 1: they claim he's either tipping his pitches. If he's a

488
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 1: pitcher or he's a hitter, they say it's hurt. I'm

489
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 1: gonna predict that the Dodgers. The next couple of days,

490
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 1: the story comes out that Shohel Tani is dealing with

491
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 1: set back. There's some kind of thing of a jig

492
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 1: or watch a mccollet that's not that good. I watched

493
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 1: Otani pitch in Denver against the worst team in Major

494
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 1: League Baseball, and someone named Hunter Goodman lit him up.

495
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 1: Goodman had a big day at three hits, three RBIs

496
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 1: somebody named Tanner Gordon opposed the highest paid player for

497
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 1: the Dodgers and one of the highest paid players of

498
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 1: all time. Otani and gave up one run in six

499
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 1: innings that great Dodger lineup and O'tani got bumped his

500
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 1: first start at Coors Field to give up five earned

501
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 1: runs in four innings. Five earned runs in four innings.

502
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 1: I feel bad for all those sports writers that you know,

503
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 1: they had their their pants down for they were so

504
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 1: excited when Otani came back to pitch. He allowed nine

505
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 1: hits that tied a career high the raigning National Lyue

506
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 1: MVP as a hitter he got He also got hit

507
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:59,479
Speaker 1: with a line drive on the I think got him

508
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 1: in the leg the thigh area, and uh so there

509
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 1: you go. That's uh Dave Roberts after the game was

510
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 1: was pretty positive. Dodger's gonna play the podres this weekend

Speaker 5: All right, Ben, We're gonna start with a good one

564
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 5: from Lady Sideburns.

565
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 1: Hi, Lady Sideburns. One of my favorite of all the

566
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 1: women that have sideburns, Lady Sideburns is my favorite.

567
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:49,479
Speaker 5: I don't think that we have ever been asked this before.

568
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 1: Okay, a new question. We always get the same questions,

569
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 1: but this is a new question. Original question, sided.

570
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 5: Crew, Which foot do you put your shoe on first?

571
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 1: So when it comes to this, I'm ambidexterous. I am Okay.

572
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 1: Some days I do the right foot, some days I

573
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 1: do the left foot. It's not the same every day.

574
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:13,279
Speaker 1: It's not there's no rhyme or reason to it. It's

575
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:15,840
Speaker 1: some days I go right, some days I go to

576
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 1: the left. That's Lorena gosh, this is a very difficult question.

577
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 6: It's got to be the right foot first, because I

578
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:27,799
Speaker 6: just put my foot directly in the shoe. I don't

579
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:30,719
Speaker 6: even like bend down anymore. I just put the foot

580
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:33,799
Speaker 6: is a you know, it would be my right foot first?

581
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 6: Then really really yeah, because I put my right foot

582
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:37,359
Speaker 6: over my left leg.

583
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 1: Interesting, okay, cool, I am the opposite. See.

584
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:43,840
Speaker 5: I initially when I read the question, I was like, oh,

585
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:45,880
Speaker 5: I think I do both, And then I sat and

586
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:49,360
Speaker 5: thought about it, and it is my left foot every

587
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:50,839
Speaker 5: single time. That's the first one.

588
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 1: Okay. Yeah, No, I'm more advanced. I can do the

589
00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:59,720
Speaker 1: right or the left. You know, it's more open minded.

590
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:02,799
Speaker 1: Then you are cool. So that's it. But I, uh,

591
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 1: what is next year's ask? Ben? Your questions are answers

592
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 1: for the rest of the hour.

593
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 5: All right, let's see we're gonna go with uh. This

594
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 5: one is dangerous.

595
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 1: A JT the Wingman, Hi JT. I met him at

596
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 1: Many Malla Meet Grease. JT is a big fan of show.

597
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:21,680
Speaker 1: I met him in South Carolina. He was in Vegas

598
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 1: last year. He's been all over the place.

599
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 5: He says, what is your favorite guilty pleasure in Las Vegas?

600
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 1: You know, I just love walking. I don't know it's

601
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:33,960
Speaker 1: a guilty pleasure. I love walking around Fremont Street. It's

602
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 1: like a human zoo. They don't charge for it, and uh,

603
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 1: and just walking around and seeing all the characters around

604
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 1: Vegas and all that stuff. So I don't know, that's

605
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 1: really a guilty pleasure. And I gamble, obviously, I've bet

606
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 1: on sports and stuff like that.

607
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:48,759
Speaker 3: But I I don't know, I don't know.

608
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:51,280
Speaker 1: I guess I'm boring. I don't really nothing, I really

609
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:55,280
Speaker 1: really do. That's tad. But what about you, well, Lorena,

Speaker 6: Is they're full of sugar?

622
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 1: Oh okay, my friend, those are all over the place.

623
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:27,439
Speaker 6: Man, Yeah, they're so bad.

624
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:28,880

Speaker 5: Cool, What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.

Speaker 2: Here?

631
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:43,280
Speaker 5: We go this question from fur dog?

632
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:46,319
Speaker 1: Hi, Fergie, would you.

633
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:49,719
Speaker 5: Rather only be able to scream or whisper when you talk?

634
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:55,359
Speaker 5: I mean the time, no normal voice? Yeah?

635
00:36:55,600 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 1: Like both would both would suck. I guess I go screaming.

636
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:04,360
Speaker 1: I don't talk much if I if I had that,

637
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 1: I wouldn't talk much. But you scream. I want people

638
00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 1: to hear you, so I'll go scream. What about you? Lorainer?

639
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 5: Obviously screaming?

640
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 7: Yeah, obviously, obviously I was gonna say whisper, But I mean,

641
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 7: you guys both think so adamant about it, it's making

642
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:20,719
Speaker 7: me double guess my my pick.

643
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 1: If you whisper, you might as well not be able

644
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:27,280
Speaker 1: to talk. You nobody can hear you, So give.

645
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:29,440
Speaker 5: You every time you scream, Like eventually people will be like,

646
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:30,879
Speaker 5: I don't want to hang out with that guy. It's

647
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 5: very it's very loud and annoying.

648
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 1: Good. What's next?

649
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 7: Ye?

650
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:36,160
Speaker 1: What do we have?

651
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:36,959
Speaker 5: Alf?

652
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 1: The alien? O? Piner? Hi? Alf? He would like him

653
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:41,600
Speaker 1: someday I'm gonna meet him. Go ahead, Yes, he would

654
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:43,120
Speaker 1: like to know fries or onion rings?

655
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:45,239
Speaker 5: And also, isn't it great when you get one of

656
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:46,640
Speaker 5: the other mixed in with your order.

657
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, And if I ever end up working in fast

658
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:53,400
Speaker 1: food and a few more bad shows, I probably will.

659
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be the guy that puts extra fries at

660
00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 1: the bottom of the bag. That's my move.

661
00:37:59,160 --> 00:37:59,319
Speaker 4: You know.

662
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 1: I read a one of these marketing books that I

663
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:04,239
Speaker 1: read a while back, and they said that five guys

664
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:06,319
Speaker 1: now five guys gouge as you and I don't go

665
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 1: there anymore because it's too expensive. But they said part

666
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:12,279
Speaker 1: of the original appeal of five guys is they intentionally

667
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:16,440
Speaker 1: overfilled the fries because they knew the customer would it. Boy,

668
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 1: I'm getting a lot, you know, I'm getting I'm getting

669
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:20,840
Speaker 1: more banged from my buck. And it was a little

670
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:24,560
Speaker 1: marketing trick and it worked until they raised the price

671
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:26,879
Speaker 1: of the fry and then people realize, well, I'm getting

672
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:29,360
Speaker 1: a lot, but I ain't going there. But yeah, friser.

673
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 1: I eat many more fries than onion rings. The problem

674
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:35,040
Speaker 1: with onion rings is it's got to be properly fried

675
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:38,719
Speaker 1: and breaded. If it's too big, the onion ring and

676
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 1: there's too much just the onion's too big. The onion

677
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:45,359
Speaker 1: to breading ratios got to be right, and very few

678
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:47,440
Speaker 1: places do it right. So I'll go potato, I'll go,

679
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 1: I'll go the fry. Lorena.

680
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:51,279
Speaker 6: Oh, I love a good onion ring.

681
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 1: Well, I don't get me wrong. I love a good un.

682
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 6: Ring because like a dec you know what I'm saying,

683
00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:57,920
Speaker 6: like frieser and everyday thing.

684
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:00,359
Speaker 1: But no, but I don't want to, Nancy, I don't

685
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:02,239
Speaker 1: want to eat an onion ring. That's the size of

686
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:05,240
Speaker 1: a bagel. I don't want really, I have.

687
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:07,239
Speaker 6: To like bite in one side and then go around like.

688
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no, the onion is too big. That is

689
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:18,520
Speaker 1: bad onions ratio etiquette. No, go onion ring cool?

690
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 5: Now see, I think the onion ring is is a treat.

691
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:25,840
Speaker 5: I like it, like lorraina, I don't know that I

692
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:30,279
Speaker 5: could every time get onion rings. Fries are more of

693
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 5: an everyday thing for sure, but a bomb onion ring

694
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:37,320
Speaker 5: completely trumps like bomb fries.

695
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 1: However, though the potato you get everything out of the potato,

696
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 1: you get the fry, but you get potato wedges out

697
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:47,920
Speaker 1: of the potato, you get the crinkle cut. Those are

698
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 1: considered fries as well. So like the onion ring, Yeah,

699
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:52,799
Speaker 1: there's thick onion rings and there's thin on your rings,

700
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:54,600
Speaker 1: but there's only a couple of different ways to make

701
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:57,319
Speaker 1: on your ring. The potato, though, you can even drink

702
00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:00,400
Speaker 1: the potato and make it alcohol. So it's you go

703
00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 1: with the potato. All right, what's next?

704
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:04,879
Speaker 5: The King Rory would like to know. Have you ever

705
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:06,440
Speaker 5: bought a product off the TV?

706
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:10,040
Speaker 1: Oh? God, yeah, Well, I'm of the age like before

707
00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:12,960
Speaker 1: before the internet. Back in my day, I loved late

708
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:16,680
Speaker 1: night infomercials. Me and my brother bought this car wax

709
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:20,520
Speaker 1: because the guy lit the car on fire with the

710
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:22,399
Speaker 1: wax and we thought, oh man, we got we got

711
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:24,680
Speaker 1: to beat, you know, our grandpa's car where we'll light

712
00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:27,880
Speaker 1: it on fire. And so we bought some car wax,

713
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:32,359
Speaker 1: and I bought a couple of other things off those infomercials.

714
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:35,480
Speaker 1: But yeah, I bought uh, probably less than five, but

715
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:39,760
Speaker 1: more than two Lorena, shockingly.

716
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:40,720
Speaker 6: No, I know my grandma.

717
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:41,440
Speaker 1: Did you know?

718
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:43,520
Speaker 6: It's an old person thing, not not so much of

719
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 6: me thing.

720

Speaker 1: Well, thank you, Lorena, I appreciate that. Coop. We'll go
