Speaker 1: Kutbooms.
Speaker 2: If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes
Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
Speaker 2: of the old republic, a sol fashion of fairness. He
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse. Wow to Clearinghouse of
Speaker 2: hot takes, break free for something special. The Fifth Hour
Speaker 2: with Ben Maller starts right now.
Speaker 3: In the air everywhere. The Fifth Hour with Me, Ben
Speaker 3: Maller and Danny g Radioe. Happy Saturday. It's early and
Speaker 3: it is the first day of March.
Speaker 1: Here we are. We've made it to the third month
Speaker 1: of the year.
Speaker 3: In twenty twenty five, we celebrate National Peanut Butter Lovers
Speaker 3: Day today, big day, unless it's not I know only
Speaker 3: he's for gayzy holidays, but National Peanut Butter Lover's Day.
Speaker 1: Fun fact.
Speaker 3: Fun fact to begin the Fifth Hour podcast. The modern
Speaker 3: American delicacy of peanut butter goes back to around the
Speaker 3: eighteen forties, so we're about one hundred and eighty something
Speaker 3: years in the past and the hot Top time machine
Speaker 3: and no one knows exactly sure like where it began.
Speaker 1: There's a theory.
Speaker 3: That a person in New York began making peanut butter
Speaker 3: after her son saw a Cuban woman grind up peanuts
Speaker 3: and smear the paste on bread. So, but in America,
Speaker 3: that's the belief to be somewhere in the eighteen forties
Speaker 3: the beginning of peanut butter. But it wasn't until eighteen
Speaker 3: eighty four that peanut butter got patented. Because you know,
Speaker 3: you're not really anything until you get patented. So that
Speaker 3: was in the eighteen eighty four and then in nineteen
Speaker 3: oh four, twenty years later, we had the first major
Speaker 3: brand to market and sell to the masses peanut butter.
Speaker 1: That's beach nut in nineteen.
Speaker 3: Oh four, so one hundred and twenty one years ago
Speaker 3: it began being marketed here in America.
Speaker 1: So celebrated appropriately National Peanut Butter Lover's Day.
Speaker 3: Our podcast today, I know we try to avoid sporty,
Speaker 3: but that being said, rare and appropriate, rare and appropriate.
Speaker 3: We have standing pat We've got that, the w run
Speaker 3: the real handicap, and we'll see what else we have
Speaker 3: time for. So we'll get to all of those things,
Speaker 3: and who knows what else, But we begin with this
Speaker 3: and the news out on Friday, and here we are
Speaker 3: on Saturday. So I didn't do the overnight show last night.
Speaker 3: I'm not contractually obligated to do it Friday into Saturday.
Speaker 3: But the news came out that the decision is in.
Speaker 3: We were hoping it would wait till Sunday. But Matthew
Speaker 3: Stafford is he leaving the Rams? Is go play for
Speaker 3: the Raiders or the Giants? No, Matthew Stafford agreed yesterday
Speaker 3: to a restructured contract with the Rams, so he will
Speaker 3: be staying his the rest of his career, most likely
Speaker 3: in a Ram uniform, will be staying put. He remains
Speaker 3: in LA despite being attacked by Tom Brady. I don't
Speaker 3: have attack the right word being courted publicly courted by
Speaker 3: Tom Brady. Stafford's agent was given permission to talk to
Speaker 3: other teams, and according to everyone, Stafford was whined and
Speaker 3: nine by the Raiders and the Giants, and they talked
Speaker 3: about contract parameters, and in the end Stafford decides to
Speaker 3: stay with the Rams. So I've seen a couple of
Speaker 3: different reports on how the contract will be put out,
Speaker 3: and it doesn't really matter to me. I'm not paying
Speaker 3: the contract. So Stafford's staying now. I did get several
Speaker 3: emails from you knuckleheads saying that I must be upset
Speaker 3: because I was doing multiple Mallard monologues about Matthew Stafford
Speaker 3: leaving the Rams and so the fact that he didn't
Speaker 3: leave the Rams, therefore I must be upset.
Speaker 1: So let me address that right.
Speaker 3: Now, all right, the question, am I bothered by Matthew
Speaker 3: Stafford staying with the Rams? So my word for this
Speaker 3: is ambivalent, all right, So I have mixed feelings. The
Speaker 3: talk show host part of me, the talk show host
Speaker 3: part of me, is confused, is troubled because it would
Speaker 3: have been good for talk radio had Matthew Stafford gone
Speaker 3: to the Raiders or the Giants. Really, the Giants would
Speaker 3: have been better for talk radio purposes. So from that
Speaker 3: part of it, for my professional career, you know, I
Speaker 3: yap in front of microphones every night for four hours
Speaker 3: a night. That would have been a really cool thing
Speaker 3: for talk radio. He's got Stafford going to a new team.
Speaker 3: Can he make it in a town like New York?
Speaker 3: And if you can make it there, you can make
Speaker 3: it anywhere. So Natra told me that years ago when
Speaker 3: he was singing that medley back in the day. But
Speaker 3: there's such an infestation of suck with the Giants and
Speaker 3: the Raiders that in the end the Rams. The fan
Speaker 3: part of me is happy. Do I think Matthew Staffords
Speaker 3: a top run quarterback?
Speaker 1: No, I don't.
Speaker 3: I had him, and I'm not going to change my
Speaker 3: position because he's back with the Rams. We had said
Speaker 3: this in previous editions of The Overnight Show, the Original
Speaker 3: Recipe Podcast, that Stafford's a Tier two, low Tier two,
Speaker 3: high tier three quarterback at this point in his career. However,
Speaker 3: if the Rams defense continues to swarm around the field,
Speaker 3: then you can win with Stafford and Pukaakua and a
Speaker 3: gaggle of other random, random players. And it's a testimonial.
Speaker 3: The fact that Stafford turned down more money we are
Speaker 3: told to stay with the Rams is an endorsement of
Speaker 3: Sean McVay. It is also an endorsement of how incompetent
Speaker 3: the Vegas and New York teams are. And I didn't
Speaker 3: want to adjust that because Tom Brady, using malormth it
Speaker 3: has been a slippery slope for Tom Brady is zero
Speaker 3: for two if my math is correct. Now we know
Speaker 3: that he wanted Ben Johnson, give me my Johnson, Ben
Speaker 3: Johnson and Tom Brady had let it be known he
Speaker 3: believed that Ben Johnson would leave the Lions and go
Speaker 3: to Vegas because of Tom Brady. The Raiders got rid
Speaker 3: of Antonio Peter, something that I am told Mark Davis
Speaker 3: did not really want to do, but he followed the
Speaker 3: advice of Tom Brady, and Tom Brady's like, listen this,
Speaker 3: Ben Johnson is gonna be good.
Speaker 1: We got a shot to get him. This is what
Speaker 1: I'm hearing.
Speaker 3: And Brady got left by the side of the road.
Speaker 3: Ben Johnson said, screw you. I'm gonna go coach the
Speaker 3: team in Chicago, And so Brady was left without a
Speaker 3: coach and they had to hire Pete Carroll. Now, do
Speaker 3: I believe Pete Carroll's going to do a good job?
Speaker 1: Yet?
Speaker 3: Do I also know Pete Carroll's the oldest coach in
Speaker 3: the NFL? Yeah, I do know that, And I know
Speaker 3: that your coaching mortality there is a limit.
Speaker 1: There is a limit to that.
Speaker 3: And so now the story came out the other day,
Speaker 3: which led to an NFL Donning Brooke a verbal Donnybrook
Speaker 3: at a Starbucks in Indianapolis, one of the great stories
Speaker 3: of the week. A couple of NFL in signers got
Speaker 3: into it because the rap sheet, in my opinion, was
Speaker 3: doing the bidding of Tom Brady, and Jordan Schultz, the
Speaker 3: insider who's doing some work with Fox right now, he
Speaker 3: had the accurate report. And then Team Brady circled the wagons,
Speaker 3: and I believe they deputized the rap sheet former Patriot
Speaker 3: Beat writer to give their version of the story, which
Speaker 3: likely was not was not the accurate verse of the story,
Speaker 3: but they repeated it, and then that led to the
Speaker 3: incident at the Starbucks. So Tom Brady think about he
Speaker 3: thought he was getting Ben Jonson, as we said, didn't
Speaker 3: get him. So then Brady whinds and dines Matthew Stafford,
Speaker 3: and Stafford says, go Pound, Sad, I'm staying with the rams,
Speaker 3: Go Pound saying I'm out of here. You talk about
Speaker 3: being star crossed if you're Tom Brady, but you can't
Speaker 3: say that part. It has not been a very encouraging beginning.
Speaker 3: It's not very reassuring that Tom Brady's going to turn
Speaker 3: that thing around in Vegas. And at this point, based
Speaker 3: on so far in the offseason, you'd have to say
Speaker 3: Tom Brady's more like Michael Jordan as an executive than
Speaker 3: he is Jerry West. When it comes to decision making
Speaker 3: early on, it is not not gone. Well, the down
Speaker 3: trodden will be gone. Raiders continue. So again, listen, now
Speaker 3: we have quarterback Roulette, but the Rams are out of it.
Speaker 3: They have their guy, Matthew Stafford. So now we play
Speaker 3: the pin the tail on the donkey at quarterback. The
Speaker 3: hot rumor as of yesterday early on Saturate. They haven't
Speaker 3: seen if anything's changed yet since I got up. But
Speaker 3: the rumor yesterday when I went to bed was Aaron
Speaker 3: Rodgers to the Giants.
Speaker 1: That was all hot and heavy, and would.
Speaker 3: Rogers stay in New York and would he go across
Speaker 3: the way there and stay in the same stadium and
Speaker 3: all that stuff, And so I don't know that there'll
Speaker 3: be much of a public courtship for Rogers. I would
Speaker 3: doubt that it would have been fun. Again from a
Speaker 3: talk radio standpoint, to see Aaron Rodgers with Sean mcvahn.
Speaker 3: We're not going to get that. We'll get Matthew Stafford,
Speaker 3: and that's fine. I'm okay with it. It's not great talk radio,
Speaker 3: but we'll see where Rogers ends up. Also, the Raiders,
Speaker 3: the Raiders have to find someone that they can say hey, Chicka,
Speaker 3: wow wow and bring in their quarterback. And I'm looking
Speaker 3: around here. There's a lot of stank. There is a
Speaker 3: lot of stank. The names that are being out. I
Speaker 3: tossed around Russell Wilson, which I don't buy. There is
Speaker 3: a history there, It's not a good history. There was
Speaker 3: a tough divorce between Pete Carroll and Russell Wilson.
Speaker 1: So I don't I don't see that one happening.
Speaker 3: Sam Donald, Oh my god, Sam Donald. We have seen
Speaker 3: Sam Donald on bad teams. It does not go well.
Speaker 3: Donald on good teams goes well for a while and
Speaker 3: then falls apart. Justin Fields also an option. He's failed
Speaker 3: with two franchises already, two bad well, one bad franchise,
Speaker 3: one good franchise.
Speaker 1: But he's zero for two. So we will we will
Speaker 1: see how this goes.
Speaker 3: We will see what happens for the Raiders, and we
Speaker 3: will have in depth team coverage as the matchmaking game continues.
Speaker 1: I call it speed dating, if you will.
Speaker 3: As everyone's trying to get a chair here at the
Speaker 3: quarterback position, and if they don't get a share, well
Speaker 3: you know you're screwed. I didn't want to mention. Also
Speaker 3: the Benny Awards. We had the red carpet show yesterday.
Speaker 3: Hooray for Holly, would hooray for Hollywood? Keep voting. If
Speaker 3: you haven't voted yet, vote early. I would say, vote often,
Speaker 3: but you only get one vote per account. But the
Speaker 3: twenty twenty five Beny Awards or tomorrow night, the ballot
Speaker 3: is on a Google form. Now you can get that
Speaker 3: ballot on x It's pinned to the very top of
Speaker 3: my page, and then also on Facebook.
Speaker 1: It's pretty high up on the Facebook page too.
Speaker 3: So if you want to vote and you haven't done
Speaker 3: that yet, we'd love to have you. We'd love to
Speaker 3: have you be one of our voting members of the
Speaker 3: Malad militia and decide who's going who's going to end
Speaker 3: up winning the highest honors in overnight sports radio. And
Speaker 3: the ballot I was looking at it last night. We
Speaker 3: did the show yesterday morning, the Benny's Red Carpet Show,
Speaker 3: and looking at the back and forth, it is so
Speaker 3: close and I may or may not have access to
Speaker 3: the voting. The Benny for Caller of the Year, the
Speaker 3: Genium Medford Caller of the Year is insane. It is
Speaker 3: absolutely next level that particular category in particular and International.
Speaker 1: Caller of the Year very close. So that means in
Speaker 1: my head that.
Speaker 3: The people, the committee, the people that put the ballot
Speaker 3: together did a good job. That if it's that neck
Speaker 3: and neck, if the electorate is split that much, that's
Speaker 3: a solid that's a good thing. You want that. You
Speaker 3: want this to be neck and neck. There's no clear
Speaker 3: cut dominator. And even the social media influence of the year.
Speaker 3: The final round ballot, which is on X that also
Speaker 3: insanely close as of last night. I have not checked
Speaker 3: early today to see where it is as I woke up,
Speaker 3: but it is awesome. It is awesome to see so close,
Speaker 3: so close. And so again you have today to vote
Speaker 3: and then tomorrow as well, up until the award show,
Speaker 3: and then after that, obviously we shut the voting off.
Speaker 3: We start giving out Beny Awards. Everyone that wins gets
Speaker 3: two golden tickets. So good luck and may the power
Speaker 3: of the mal or.
Speaker 1: Militia be with you.
Speaker 3: We hope, we hope you can get her done, get
Speaker 3: her done. Anyway, moving on from that, we did something
Speaker 3: we don't normally do this week on the Ben Malors Show.
Speaker 3: It created quite the hullabaloo on the program. We go
Speaker 3: back to about a week ago, the Monday Show, and
Speaker 3: after several months of saying it's going to happen, it's
Speaker 3: going to happen, It's going to happen, it finally happened.
Speaker 3: For the first time ever, we played Are You Smarter?
Speaker 3: Are You Smarter than the FSR Tech Queen? Now, some
Speaker 3: thoughts on this, Okay, I thought the game was pretty good.
Speaker 3: Some of the feedback I've gotten some of you loved it,
Speaker 3: others of you hated it. Marcel ended up beating Lorraine up.
Speaker 3: A number of people complained the questions were too easy?
Speaker 3: What and my response to that, my rebuttal is that's
Speaker 3: how the game is played.
Speaker 1: The questions are supposed to be easy. That's the whole
Speaker 1: point of the game.
Speaker 3: And I got a stack of probably two hundred questions
Speaker 3: that we're going to work our way through and some
Speaker 3: will be easy like we did last week, and others
Speaker 3: not so much. Right, So it'll get harder at times.
Speaker 3: It's not always going to be as ridiculously easy as
Speaker 3: it was this week. And even with that, it was
Speaker 3: neck and neck between I mean, Marcel and lay Uh,
Speaker 3: and in the end, Marcel pulled it out, and I'm
Speaker 3: convinced now that is the greatest accomplishment that has ever happened.
Speaker 1: Marcel.
Speaker 3: He was strutting around there doing the electric boogoloo. He
Speaker 3: was so happy. You talk about making someone's life winning
Speaker 3: a cheesy radio game show. We were talking off the
Speaker 3: air like this unbelievable. Marcel likely called every one of
Speaker 3: his relatives and said, I won.
Speaker 1: Are you smarter than an FSR Techqueen? They all probably
Speaker 1: said what is that?
Speaker 3: And well, it's a game, and he tried to explain it,
Speaker 3: and then for I said, Marcel LINGO, good luck on that.
Speaker 3: We will play it again. We're not gonna play it
Speaker 3: this weekend. We have the Benny's. Everything is scrapped for
Speaker 3: the Bennys. All of the regular bits are scrapped for
Speaker 3: the Bennys. We may do the instant advice line. We
Speaker 3: may do that depending on the timing and how many
Speaker 3: awards we have to get through. That's in limbo. We're
Speaker 3: leaning to just doing it. We're leaning towards doing the
Speaker 3: instant of ice line. But outside of that, everything else
Speaker 3: is fully dedicated to giving out the Benny Awards, so
Speaker 3: we won't have are you Smarter than PHISI tech queen
Speaker 3: till next weekend or next week, and then we'll get
Speaker 3: back to it.
Speaker 1: Now, the real handicap. I wanted to mention this. Why not?
Speaker 1: So this past.
Speaker 3: Week we went out, me and the wife. We went
Speaker 3: out with some of our coworkers to Top Golf. Now
Speaker 3: I had never been to Top Golf. I'd been around
Speaker 3: Top Golf. I'd seen the one in Vegas. I'd seen
Speaker 3: in some other cities I've traveled to. I've seen Top Golf.
Speaker 3: It's a very popular thing. If you've never been. You
Speaker 3: go out there. It's a driving range, but you drink
Speaker 3: and eat and have a merry time. And they have
Speaker 3: a bar tracking thing which follows you, not you, follows
Speaker 3: the ball that you hit around.
Speaker 1: And this is my first time playing. I had not
Speaker 1: played golf in a long time.
Speaker 3: I'd mentioned in the previous episode of this podcast that
Speaker 3: I had.
Speaker 1: Some golf clubs.
Speaker 3: Unfortunately, the golf clubs I had were in my moving
Speaker 3: my many movements around the southern California have moved several
Speaker 3: times over the years, and one of the last moves,
Speaker 3: the wife's like, we got to get rid of the
Speaker 3: golf clubs.
Speaker 1: We have nowhere to put the golf clubs. You don't golf, let's.
Speaker 3: Get rid of them. We'll get rid of them. We'll
Speaker 3: get rid of them. So I was like, all right,
Speaker 3: I'll get rid of them. So we got rid of them,
Speaker 3: and I didn't really golf. I haven't golfed in many,
Speaker 3: many years. And then all of a sudden, I was like, wait,
Speaker 3: wait a minute, I need golf clubs. I got to
Speaker 3: the golf bug and I wanted to go to the
Speaker 3: driving range. I was like, I don't have my drivers.
Speaker 3: I got to play golf. So I was like, I'll
Speaker 3: go buy golf clubs. And we went to a PGA store,
Speaker 3: which was a mistake because it was PGA Brandon Golf
Speaker 3: Store and the drivers were like five six seven, eight
Speaker 3: hundred dollars for just a driver, and I'm like, wait
Speaker 3: a minute, do those things drive themselves? Do those golf
Speaker 3: clips drive themselves? That's insane. So that didn't work out.
Speaker 3: So we just showed up the top golf. It was
Speaker 3: last weekend and I had a great time.
Speaker 1: It was fun. We drank a little bit ate.
Speaker 3: Some appetizers, and everyone was in a good mood there
Speaker 3: playing golf. It was fine. However, I do have a
Speaker 3: bone to pick. I guess you call it pet peeve.
Speaker 3: So my pet peeve is that by hitting the ball further,
Speaker 3: you actually do worse, and it bothers me. It bothers me,
Speaker 3: and it may explain. So as we are playing the
Speaker 3: top golf and you're just driving, and they have if
Speaker 3: you've never been there again, they have out on the
Speaker 3: range there, they have different holes if you will to
Speaker 3: hit the ball into and you get credited with points. Okay, fine,
Speaker 3: But I noticed as we were playing top Golf and
Speaker 3: I was getting into it, and I was in it
Speaker 3: to win it.
Speaker 1: What's the point of showing up if you don't want
Speaker 1: to win it.
Speaker 3: So we're doing this and and I'm like, I'm crushing
Speaker 3: and I don't want I don't need to brag or
Speaker 3: anything like that. But I was hitting the ball very,
Speaker 3: very far, and it didn't matter because the further you
Speaker 3: get away from the front of the driving range. At
Speaker 3: Top Golf, we were on the second level, the further
Speaker 3: you get away, the less likely you are to score
Speaker 3: any points. So what I was noticing is that some
Speaker 3: of the worst fricking golfers in the world that could
Speaker 3: barely get the ball out of the driving range were
Speaker 3: killing it. They were dominating at top golf. They had
Speaker 3: the highest scores. And the reason they had the highest
Speaker 3: scores is because by not hitting the ball as hard
Speaker 3: you end up getting more points. Now, it is true
Speaker 3: that further out on top golf you there are some
Speaker 3: big money holes, if you will, like the blue and
Speaker 3: the white. I believe it is way out there. But
Speaker 3: the accuracy part of it is a problem. So I
Speaker 3: ended up getting smoked in this thing. And then at
Speaker 3: the end they have, oh the longest drive, and my
Speaker 3: name was there. I had the longest drive, but that
Speaker 3: didn't matter. So next time I go, and I don't
Speaker 3: know if we're going to go anytime soon, but next
Speaker 3: time I go to top golf, I am going to
Speaker 3: try to suck at a time you cannot suck, because
Speaker 3: by sucking, I will have a much better chance of winning.
Speaker 1: Do you understand you feel my agony? You don't care.
Speaker 1: I just wanted to rant. I just wanted to rant.
Speaker 1: I just wanted to complain, and I did. I've complained.
Speaker 3: I've ranted the the whole shebang, the whole dealio, if
Speaker 3: you will here a couple of other things I wanted
Speaker 3: to mention before we say goodbye and put the baby
Speaker 3: to bed.
Speaker 1: Here on the fifth hour.
Speaker 3: On this Saturday Saturday, Saturday Saturday story that caught my attention.
Speaker 3: And I don't know if you saw this one or not.
Speaker 3: I'm not sure what you got, what you got.
Speaker 1: Going on in your world.
Speaker 3: Even on my nights off, I futz around and see
Speaker 3: what's going on in the world and all that stuff, and.
Speaker 1: One thing in particular caught my attention.
Speaker 3: This would have been a malady monologue had I had
Speaker 3: a live radio show last night and there was a
Speaker 3: comment made by the Heisman Trophy winner who is trying
Speaker 3: to end up as the top pick in the draft.
Speaker 3: We're talking about Travis Hunter from Colorado, who would like
Speaker 3: to be a two way player. I fully support Travis
Speaker 3: Hunter being a two way player. Well, Travis Hunter said
Speaker 3: this week that by playing both ways in football, it's
Speaker 3: harder than baseball. That he said, it's more difficult being
Speaker 3: a two way role player than the Dodgers show.
Speaker 1: Hey Otani for example.
Speaker 3: Okay, time out, All right, So let's break this down scientifically, right.
Speaker 3: I would argue that from a physical standpoint, Travis Hunter
Speaker 3: is right, But from an absolute skill standpoint, what Otani
Speaker 3: does is much more difficult, and then explain why. All right,
Speaker 3: First of all, Travis Hunter, when he's playing, if he
Speaker 3: plays one hundred plays a game, that's a ton of
Speaker 3: plays to play in an NFL game.
Speaker 1: He won't like me play that many.
Speaker 3: But at any given Moll made he's playing defensive back,
Speaker 3: they're gonna run the ball some of the time, they're
Speaker 3: gonna throw it to the other side of the field.
Speaker 3: They're not gonna throw at him every single time. Just
Speaker 3: like when he's on offense as a slot receiver, whatever
Speaker 3: team he plays for, they're gonna run the ball some
Speaker 3: of the time, they're gonna they're gonna throw to other people.
Speaker 3: He's not, he's not the main focus on offense. Most
Speaker 3: wide receivers, if you're a good wide receiver, you get
Speaker 3: eight to twelve targets a game. So Hunter on offense,
Speaker 3: he'll be blocking the rest of the time, but he's
Speaker 3: gonna end up getting anywhere from eight to twelve targets
Speaker 3: if he is the center of the universe, the center
Speaker 3: of the universe on a team. And then and again defensively,
Speaker 3: it's the same concept. And he said, well, Tani, he's
Speaker 3: a designated hitter, or he's gonna play the field, but
Speaker 3: he's not gonna you know, they're not gonna hit the
Speaker 3: ball to him that much, which is true on any
Speaker 3: given at bat. When Otani does play the field, someone
Speaker 3: could hit the ball to Otani unless he's a designated hitter,
Speaker 3: and then obviously forget about it, right, that doesn't matter.
Speaker 3: The difference, though, is when Otani's on the mound, he is.
Speaker 1: Everything.
Speaker 3: While he's on the mount, right the starting pitcher, you're
Speaker 3: the whole thing. You're the quarterback. Every single pitch is
Speaker 3: on you, and then when you're at bat on offense,
Speaker 3: it's all about you.
Speaker 1: Now, you only do that four times a game, And Travis.
Speaker 3: Hunter's argument's gonna be, well, I get the ball seven
Speaker 3: or eight times a game, so that's more than those
Speaker 3: four times. But when you're playing baseball, the skill level
Speaker 3: they hit a pitch that's zigging and zagging and all
Speaker 3: that is insane.
Speaker 1: It's a different level skill.
Speaker 3: To be a good, not just good, an MVP level
Speaker 3: baseball player is insanely difficult. And while it is a
Speaker 3: different skill set and it is different and difficult, I
Speaker 3: should say to play at a high level defensive back
Speaker 3: and wide receiver.
Speaker 1: It's much harder to be a successful.
Speaker 3: Next level offensive player in Major League Baseball and also
Speaker 3: be a successful pitcher. So, after a minutes long Mallard deliberation,
Speaker 3: side with show hey Otani in terms of the skill
Speaker 3: standpoint over Travis Hunter, and I am pulling for Travis Hunter.
Speaker 3: I do not have an anti Travis Hunter position. I
Speaker 3: would like to see him do well. I think it's
Speaker 3: fun that he's gonna play both ways. And I'm all
Speaker 3: about the fun. My middle name is fun.
Speaker 1: People don't know that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, my middle name is fun. I'm all about the fun.
Speaker 3: I did get an email. We have the email tomorrow.
Speaker 3: I just was going through my email before I turned
Speaker 3: on the microphone here in Studio B, a podcast studio
Speaker 3: Studio B. And I'm not going to use this for
Speaker 3: the mail bag tomorrow. But somebody's like, hey Ben, what
Speaker 3: are your takeaways from the combine the on field of workouts?
Speaker 3: And I thought two things. I thought, A, this person's
Speaker 3: not a regular listen to the show. And B this
Speaker 3: person's delusional if they think I'm going to waste time
Speaker 3: breaking down the underwear Olympics. Now, I like talking about
Speaker 3: the rumor that come out of the scouting combine. Do
Speaker 3: I want to sit there and break down the forty
Speaker 3: yard dash or the vertical jump or the board jump
Speaker 3: of some school from suck you?
Speaker 1: No, I don't. I don't. I'm not into that. That's
Speaker 1: not my thing.
Speaker 3: If you are, great, I'm pretty sure every single player
