Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go. Welcome, It's our number one of the
original Recipe podcast. Hope you're doing well. Happy Tuesday, the
twenty third day of the month of July today, and
I want to thank all of you who complained about
yesterday's podcast. I got your complaints. I'm honored that you

(00:21):
love this podcast so much that if there's any kind
of a glitch, any kind of a mistake, I wake
up late in the afternoon and am flooded with hey, stupid,
why's the podcast not up the way it should be?
So hopefully today will be a smooth day and if not,
heads will roll. But here an hour number one Aaron

(00:43):
Rogers blaming his Jets absence drama on deceiving language. What
does that even mean? Also, Bengals owner Mike Brown says
he will bend over backwards to sign wide receiver Jamar Chase.
Is that what it's going to take to get it?
You'll done? And Tampa quarterback Baker Mayfield says he's in

(01:07):
better shape than he's been in a long time. How
does that one sit with you? We'll talk about all
that and much more right now, make way for our
number one. It is all a misunderstanding it's all a misunderstanding.
Welcome in the beginning of another night of the Ben

(01:31):
Mahlor Show as we count down to the Mallard Palooza
coming up this weekend. We are in the air everywhere
companions as we are all warm and cozy, coast to coast,
border to border and beyond. On the vast and enormously
powerful microphones of fs are emmating live from the level

(01:56):
as we level up to face better competition. We're broadcasting
live from the Tire Studios. Tyarrect dot com will help
you get there and unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free
road hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended installers. Tyerrect
dot com the way tyrebine should be. Peril Bueno. I

(02:17):
think he sent ten thousand complaints. Was apparently an issue
with the podcast over on Spotify, which we I have
nothing to do with that. I don't know what's going
on over there. I have no control over that, but
many of you complained. Thank you. It's good that you
can plain. That means somebody's actually listening to the podcast,
which we like. Actually a lot of you are, so
thank you. I appreciate your complaints, and heads will roll.

(02:39):
We'll get to the bottom that no question. All right,
So our lead this hour, though we're gonna start out
tonight in the Big Apple. We gotta get all of
our monologues about Aaron Rodgers actually Jersey, but we got
to get all of our monologues in about Aaron Rodgers
case get hurt again at some point the old players do,
They get hurt. So it's unlikely that Aaron Rodgers will

(03:00):
making it through the season. You'd got to think he's
gonna make it more than four plays like he did
last year. But if you haven't heard the latest on this,
Aaron Rodgers gave a State of the Jets address of sorts,
and he covered a lot of ground. Now we'll go
through it throughout the hour, but for our purposes, we're
gonna whittle this down to the jargon. All the jargon

(03:23):
we're gonna get. Get to good stuff here, get to
the good stuff. So Aaron Rodgers, he talked about all
of the outrage from his unexcused absence from mandatory Jets
mini camp Rogers, blaming the outrage and the media blowback
and all that. He said. He used deceiving language. Well,
rather than me tell you what he said, let's go

(03:45):
to Aaron Rodgers himself. This was on a I believe
a barstool podcast. I think this was. Anyway, here's Aaron Rodgers.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
The thing that I think people don't understand is that
when when I was in the NFC North and playing
for that team years ago, there used to be a
real thing called mini camp where it was you had
one of them. Usually sometimes it's right up for the draft,
but either way, it was five practices and three days Friday,
Sady Sunday. So two practices on Friday, two on Saturday,

(04:11):
one on Sunday. And now it's not mini camp. They
can arbitrarily put a tag on whatever week of OTA's
they want, this is the mini camp week, which makes
it somehow more mandatory than the other weeks. But it
was an OTA schedule. That's how it's You know how
words can be a little deceiving From time to time.

(04:32):
You can make a story of the fact that I
missed a mini camp when it was really two OTA days,
right interest I came to the first ten.

Speaker 3 (04:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
See, it's all a misunderstand it's all deception. It's the
deep state of the NFL trying to screw Aaron Rodgers,
not anyone else in the Jets, not anyone else in
the entire NFL, the big footy, if you will, big
football not it's Aaron Rodgers. Deceiving language, is what he said,
and so little de seed. So let us discuss the question.

(05:01):
Aaron Rodgers blaming the kerfluffle that took place on this
show and others, his absence from the Jets mini camp.
He said the drama was because of deception, deceiving language.
What does that mean for the common man? What does
that mean? So I've got tender greens, cosplay and junk mail,

(05:26):
and we will combine all of these things together, and
we're going to make a pastrami sandwich, which I've not
had see. I'm doing this intermittent fasting thing, so I've
got that going on, but I've also cut back some
of the other stuff. I normally I'm going big, going
big here, but I really would like a pastrami sandwich.
I'm just saying so. Anyway, as far as the Aaron

(05:48):
Rodgers story, Aaron Rodgers, you heard the sound again, He blaming,
blaming the Jets absence the drama around that because of
deceiving language. According to Aaron Rodgers. So it's all amos, understand,
nothing to see here, move along, blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah. But when in reality, what
Aaron Rodgers was doing with all that mumbo jumbo is

(06:10):
he took a part time job at tender Greens. He
was serving up a salad, a word salad and just
throw a bunch of words together and watch you McCall it,
and the thing majig and tenda just like that. People say, oh,
Aaron Rodgers said, well, you've got a certain percentage I've
known doing this job over the years. You have a

(06:31):
certain percentage of fanboys right to genuflect to do the
Hawk tour for the star athlete, so he can say
whatever they want. They defend the athlete. Then you got
other people that don't care because who cares. They get
their own lives to live. And then you've got people
that despise the athlete that can't stand. So there's three
possibilities here. But it's a certain percentage that just worship

(06:54):
star athletes and think Aaron Rodgers is God's gift to
football in the world and all that stuff, and so
whatever he says is fine, But to me, I say, stop, right, stop.
It's very straightforward. The Jets are the team that pays
the contract. Now, Rogers is rich, he doesn't need a job,
but he does have one, and so the Jets, as

(07:14):
I understand. Maybe I'm wrong, but the Jets are the
boss and they determined, and Rogers's own words, they determined
this was a mandatory mini camp and since they own
the company, they can do that. They set the rules,
part of the cartel and the employee. Maybe I'm wrong,
maybe it's changed.

Speaker 4 (07:32):
I'm old.

Speaker 1 (07:32):
I guess that the employee follows the rules and they
don't want to follow the rules, then they get in trouble,
maybe they lose their job, things like that. But ultimately
this is all a ruse, right, It's all smoke screen,
because Aaron Rodgers really is just upset with Robert Sala.
When he talks about deceiving language, he's really talking about
the head coach of the Jets. There was a double
secret handshake that was done between the brass of the

(07:57):
Jets and Aaron Rodgers. Everything was signed on and the
teas were crossed, the eyes were dotted that Rogers would
be allowed to go off and look at the Pyramids
in Egypt, and you know, drink ayahuasca and have a
grand old time, and that would be that, and the
Jets would play along, they'd play nice. And then Robert
Sallas screwed that up. He didn't genuineflect. Instead, he used

(08:19):
the term that triggered a pandemonium in NFL circles. Metaphorically,
of course, he used the word unexcused, and that just
blew a gasket for Aaron Rodgers. All right, now, turning
the page, we go to Cincinnati, where the chili is
supposedly really good. Although justin and Cincinnati, we said this guy,

(08:41):
just Josh, who was an active member of the Mala Milosia,
they were like, eh, that's not that good. I don't
know about some of the other boys in Cincinnati, but
they're known for their Skyline chili and the local delicacy
where the Bengals owner Mike Brown, who's eaten a lot
of that over the years, much of it. Mike Brown
said this week that he is willing to bend over

(09:03):
backwards to sign Jamar Chase, who's looking for the mega
mega mega millions payday. So is that what it's going
to take is the owner of the Bengal's going to
have to bend over backwards. So I looked it up.
Mike Brown is eighty eight years young. He would need

(09:23):
to do somersaults, what else, cartwheels, balance beam, all of
that in order to get this deal done. That's not
going to happen. So instead we've activated the Malar think tank.
And the way the Malthed think tank works. We give
free advice, unsolicited advice under the cover of darkness while

(09:45):
most sleep. We give out the wisdom of the gods
is what we do here. So the mal think tank,
which is never wrong, right, use the flowery language of love,
which is cash cold cash, right, and the Bengal. You
gotta to be the man. You gotta pay the man.
To have the man, you gotta pay the man. So
do some cosplay. Mike Brown at age eighty eight, dresses up.

(10:07):
It's Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid there. And because
Jamar is chasing the train heist and I can't think
in the Old West of American history a better robber
of trains than Butch Cassidy. So just go Butch Cassidy, right,
he wants to be roommates. From what I understand from
what I've read, Jamar Chase would like to be roommates

(10:28):
with Devonte Adams, Justin Jefferson, and i'man Rossaint Brown, the
High Rent District, the Penthouse on the Upper east Side. Period.
Stop all right, now, last part of this last word
we go to the Sunshine state of Florida. Got an
email from a fan of the show that lives in
the Tampa area who said that I do not talk

(10:50):
about the Bucks anymore since since Tom Brady, rather since
Tom Brady left, that I have been lacking in Bucks content.
I think about it. I do like the Bucks logo,
you know, Buckobruce, big fan of that logo with the original,
the old school the creamsicle logo, which I'm going to

(11:11):
add that to my hat rotation. The not a Bucks fan,
but I like the logo. I got that old Robin
Hood logo from back then. Anyway, all right, so the
guy's complaining whatever, why not I'm bouncing around. I saw
this story and I thought, well, it is about the Bucks,
so I'll get this guy'll get off my ass. So
why not? So the Bucks, who are a middling team
at this point, as the team that's gonna either be

(11:32):
in that seven to ten win area right around there,
give or take. And so they did give us an
amusing story. That is where Tampa quarterback Baker Mayfield has announced,
very proudly, he's announced to the media there that he
is in better shape than he's been in a long time.

(11:53):
So how does that sit with you? Baker Mayfield braggadocious
about the shape of his body. So I have this
in the junk mail category or go the spam folders.
That's spam. It's one of these fillers stories this time
of the year, because when you're a beat writer, you

(12:14):
got to fill out a story every single day, a
couple times a day. I got to make sure the
website's full of content and all that stuff. It takes
up bandwidth. It's the kind of story that takes up bandwidth.
It is also, and I know this from being in
this chair behind this very powerful microphone over the years
here at Fox, that it is a standard ritual associated

(12:37):
with NFL Camp this period of time between now and
we get through the exhibition games, which starts soon. It's
actually one of my favorites. It happens in every sport,
mostly in baseball and football, but it happens in basketball
and hockey as well. It's a right of passage. I

(12:58):
know what is It's the annual parade. It's like a
conga line of players who proclaim that they are completely certain,
without a sliver of doubt, and they want the world
to hear They want you to hear this, They want
me to his every man won't a child to hear this.
That they are in the greatest shape or the best shape.

(13:18):
They usually say the best shape of their life. In
Baker Mayfield's the latest one to do. He's not the
only one. I just used him as an example because
I just saw that headline. I find it amusing because
on one hand, it is your job. You're literally selling
your body, right, that's what you're doing. Your body is
the device you're selling. That's what it is. And if
you're not good athletically, you can't sell your body anymore.

(13:41):
You got it something else. On the other hand, though,
when you think about this scientifically, the players having done
this enough, the players are like yo yo's. They go
back and forth, up and down between they bulk up.
They want to add some strength, right, so they balk
up a little bit. They want that durability they slim

(14:02):
down because they want flexibility and they're worried about being
faster and they want conditioning and blah blah blah. And
he goes that back and until they have a good year,
and then they settle it on that and then they
have a bad year, and then they change it up again.
It's a never ending cycle kind of like this show.
It is the Benet Malor Show. We hope you remember that.

Speaker 3 (16:57):
I'm Natyrack dot com, Fox Sports Radio Studio. It's Ben Mallor.

Speaker 1 (17:02):
Eloy from Compton writes and he says, holy crap, airon
Rogers is so freaking annoying. Always plays the victim. This
time I hope he tears the other ACL but in
only two snaps instead of four. Whow very kind of you,
ELOI from Compton, good good. Karmen h L writes and

(17:23):
says a plus on the malle monologue, Aaron Rodgers, who
the bron of the NFL. They do have the passive
aggressive playbook down pat now, Zephyr writes in from La
La Land. He says, you just got on the air
a few minutes ago here, so we recover at the
beginning of that mall of monologue covered up by Dodger programming.

(17:45):
The Dodger game went long against the Giants. I guess
maybe it was that William Shatner in Vassay, who does
the Dodger postgame show here in La listener pointed out
that he had Shatner on. William Shatner, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (18:00):
Two enemies of the show.

Speaker 1 (18:04):
This is Oh my god, this is the evil Empire.
EDI's what this is the evil Empire? And I don't
know what Shattner's. Do you think he's made some kind
of deal with the devil? I saw a photo Shatner.
All right, Shatner, how old is Shatter? He's got to
be in his nineties now, right, he's over ninety. I
think we went we had his ninetieth birthday. I think
he's over ninety. We'll check, all right, you check how

(18:24):
old he is, because I'm ninety three. I said, out,
check Coop, this guy. You maybe type something I didn't
need to, right, Okay, you want a cookie? Yeah, I
would like I don't have. Actually I know I didn't
make it any but anyway, here's the point. All right,
So Shatner, I see a photo right, and he's looking great.
He could run a marathon around like Joe Biden. He

(18:46):
could run like I don't know. That's a good. He
looks like he's like twenty five years younger than he is.
So what's he doing is some kind of thing we
don't know about. Like he looks like doesn't look ninety three. Crazy.
Maybe it's all the time he spent on Twitter blocking
people when he was flying to Germany. Kept him young, yeah,

(19:07):
kept him young at heart? Yeah? Absolutely? Who else you have?
Ksey Carr Holler writes, and he says Aaron Rodgers should
have given an example of word manipulation like vaccination and
immunization should have done that well. That was a classic
moment when people lost their lunch at Aaron Rodgers late
night drug Tester sounds like the ben Gals management needs

(19:30):
to get a fundraiser going. I'm sure the Clifton Opera
House could host the Kettering Banjo Society, the string Benders
in the Dolsmur Society. Or that may be too much
Dick in Dayton for Ford to handle. Yeah, well, Dick
when he calls up now, our friend Dick and Dayton

(19:50):
does not often mentioned the Clifton Operas. I think he's
been kicked out. I think there was some kind of
scandal with the Clifton Operas.

Speaker 3 (19:56):
I'm sure he closed it down, so to speak.

Speaker 1 (19:59):
They broke the place now down there they just.

Speaker 3 (20:00):
After they played. It was like anyone else.

Speaker 1 (20:03):
You see the other day there was a concert at
Fenway Park and the stage lit on fire. Yet stage
lit on fire. That's like when Dick and Dayton gets
on the the banjo, it's the thing lights up. It's
like yeah, sound right there, and then you get like
fire and the whole thing wacky wacky and wacky wacky.
I was going to the phones. We'll say hello to

(20:27):
and see your keg drinking Steve, who I think was
the last person we talked to on the phones on
the previous edition of the show, and now he's the
first person I talked to now, which either means that's
my problem or his problem.

Speaker 4 (20:46):
Big Benny, how do you feel that Lebron James is
gonna be carrying the red, white and blue the PS infested?

Speaker 1 (21:01):
My only question is, well, will Lebron be on her
knee while he's carrying the flag.

Speaker 4 (21:05):
I don't.

Speaker 7 (21:06):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (21:07):
Maybe we'll have to find out. I will not be watching.
I will not be watching, but you let me know. Okay,
that's my night off. I don't need to watch it.

Speaker 4 (21:13):
You know, Nike gave gave the Olympic Committee four hundred
million dollars. I am so sick of this guy. He
is so thirsty. He's forty years old. Man, you should
not be carrying a flag in the Olympic stadium. It
should be from Mobile and Scottie Shevlin.

Speaker 1 (21:32):
Yeah, no, this is probably who's the youngest Olympic guy.
I know that I'm not a big Olympic guy.

Speaker 4 (21:37):
I don't care you don't care about no.

Speaker 1 (21:39):
But there's I know there's I saw somebody for like
an Australian skateboarders like fourteen the great No. But I
was like in the US, I don't know who the
youngest Olympian in the US is. I haven't really paid
that much attention to.

Speaker 4 (21:50):
What Scottie Cheffler has had the greatest.

Speaker 1 (21:54):
Year of anyone, Scotti Sheeffler eight. You go from Lebron
to Scottie Cheffler, What do you doing.

Speaker 4 (22:02):
Is better? Lebron is all these all right?

Speaker 1 (22:06):
But here's the thing. And listen, I'm gonna imagine I'll
talk about this later because it'll come up and have.

Speaker 4 (22:12):
To reward excellent. Now you can't. This is this is ridiculous, all.

Speaker 1 (22:17):
Right, But you just you answer your own question. You
answer your own question. Nike is bankrolling much of the Olympics,
so they're going to have say, who's a bigger Nike
athlete than Lebron? Jam you answered your own question. So
what do you what do you call him?

Speaker 4 (22:32):
This is this is a rich Paul pot to keep
this dude in the news.

Speaker 1 (22:37):
Hold Lebron's in the news. Yeah, Lebron takes a bowel
movement and we break it down. What are you talking
about this.

Speaker 4 (22:45):
Guy with his stupid kid.

Speaker 1 (22:48):
Alright, I don't want to see him. I need your break, Okay, alright,
Then they have this amazing they have this on off switch.
Just don't watch. It's fine. I think, God, God, it's fine.
And I'm pretty confident that they've determined that putting Lebron
on there will help the ratings and help the business

(23:10):
and all that stuff, and that's why they did it.
I have a theory. I'll explain that later. Use it
right now. But Aaron Rodgers and we played a little
audio of Aaron Rodgers here at the beginning of the hour.
You might not have heard it if you're in certain cities,
but Rogers talked about the fact that it's really just
a misunderstanding of the NFL schedule and he didn't do

(23:34):
anything wrong when he left the Jets to go go
to Egypt and go have aahuask at the Pyramids. Well,
he also sent another cryptic message in this podcast interview
he did. He said, he hinted that the twenty twenty
four season could could that's a weasel term, could be
his last in the NFL. Of course, when you cross
the age of forty. That's usually what happens as he's

(23:56):
preparing to return. This year, he did say, well, my
goal is to win not one, but two Super Bowls
with the Jets. Sucks, suck, suck before he retires. He said, quote,
I don't know. I'm not sure, he said. When asked
about all that, he said this one for sure, he said,
I did want to go and do two good ones

(24:16):
and give us a chance to retire as a Jet,
and went two super Bowls. But he indicate it was
all over the which is another one of these. Hey
talk about me. I would like you to talk about me.
That would be really nice. All right, very good. It
is the Ben Mallor Show and Father Time addressing father Time,
not about Aaron Rodgers, about somebody else. We'll get to

(24:37):
that right now.

Speaker 4 (24:37):
Though.

Speaker 1 (24:37):
Let's get you caught up on everything going on in
the overnight, and we say hello too. The Merman, a
man that violated civic code by trespassing into a fountain
and got away with it. He's a hoodlum, Eddie Garcia,
you know you are your thought Eddy, Yeah, but like
a real man, I did pay off my bet onlike

(25:00):
I ate Rocky Mountain oysters. I ate Rockney Mountain oysters.
I did not. It's Rocky Mountain oyster. The package said
Rocky Mountain oiss. Well the eye doctor getting new eyeglasses. Okay,
that's your process you problem, I mean, not to me problem.
You probably that's a you.

Speaker 3 (25:16):
Probably you don't pay off your bets.

Speaker 1 (25:18):
Lorena knows. I'm a man and I see your balls.

Speaker 7 (25:20):
Sho.

Speaker 1 (25:20):
I'd like to see you, know, you play that, Loraina,

about basketball.

Speaker 5 (25:26):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Mallor
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.

Speaker 3 (25:31):
Well, the Olympics were brought up, so why not stay
with this? I didn't know this. Maybe you did. I
saw some commercial with Steven Spielberg promoting the Alertics, and uh,
apparently I didn't know the the opening ceremonies. We talked
about it, Lebron holding the Friday. Yeah, it's going to
be different than it's ever been before.

Speaker 1 (25:49):
Usually don't have to be entertaining.

Speaker 3 (25:50):
Well maybe usually they're in a stadium and the athletes
all walk in right to where are.

Speaker 1 (25:55):
They going to be swimming around the poopy water?

Speaker 3 (25:57):
Almost they're going to be on boats going down the
River Seine, okay, which has never been done before, and
the people.

Speaker 1 (26:04):
Will be don't drink the water, A drink the water.

Speaker 3 (26:07):
Just bring me an interesting question, like the US has

Speaker 3 (26:57):

Speaker 1 (27:00):
French terrory, saying it's still French there, it's still I
think it is.

Speaker 3 (27:03):
Well, I guess that makes some sense.

Speaker 1 (27:04):
We could have Olympic Games in Guam. You know we
could go to Guam.

Speaker 3 (27:08):
Yeah, Puerto Rico, perto Rico. I will I will be
interested in watching the at least the highlights of this.

no news? Staate? So why was the last ding? Why
don't we we have fifty?

Speaker 3 (27:22):
It's a nice round number, round number.

Speaker 1 (27:24):
Why don't we take more territory? We should have more
territories to advace country? Yeah, why we do it? Anyway?

Speaker 3 (27:31):

Speaker 1 (27:40):
Down the free Yeah, just go down the slow speed
chase down the freeway, so it would be appropriate. Yeah,
well we have like the homeless Olympics. Will that be
part of it or no, that's when they're going to
clean up the homeless. Right now, is l A, you're
gonna come to La twenty twenty eight that we they'll
be sending the homeless to Riverside or wherever.

Speaker 3 (27:58):
I don't know whether it's you're not wrong.

Speaker 1 (28:01):
They'll clean up like when the Super Bowl was here.
Remember they cleaned up that downtown area where the skid
row area they got rid of the homeless. Pushed them,
pushed them further back. Push it back, now, push it back?

Speaker 5 (28:30):
Fun fact.

Speaker 1 (28:31):
You mentioned the Royals into the win column against the
Arizona Diamondbacks. And even though Eddie Garcia had a long
standing anti Royal campaign on this show, spitting a loogie
at the good people of Kansas City and all over
Midwest that love Royals baseball, not true. The Royals won
their fifty six game of the year, Eddie. They won
all of last season fifty sixty six games. Eddie, this

(28:56):
is greatness. Holy Willie Wilson Batman, this is unbelievable. Great
Steve Bye Bye, Bell Boney's just smiling. George Brett is
having a cocktail right now. Jamie Quirk can't believe it. Eddie,
this is I mean, even all outdated references, Eddie, the
last Royals team to get to the World Series with Hosmer.

(29:16):
Where's he is He out of baseball?

Speaker 5 (29:17):
Now?

Speaker 1 (29:18):
I think he is?

Speaker 6 (29:19):
Right.

Speaker 1 (29:19):
I don't know he'sn't playing anywhere. Sure you haven't followed
his career.

Speaker 3 (29:24):
I remember he was with the Padres last time.

Speaker 1 (29:26):
Yeah, I think they traded him like the Red Sox
or something like that, and then I don't know where
he went after that. But I think he's I believe,
I don't know where he is. He's playing, he's a
backup last year, but he's not not playing, not playing
out of baseball. That's it. Trying to get to content.

Speaker 3 (29:42):
Yeah, what's what's going on here?

Speaker 6 (29:44):
You?

Speaker 1 (29:44):
Okay?

Kurt Stillwell?

Speaker 1 (37:23):
Is it Kurt Stillwell? I liked that Lorena was looking
at me like it could be Kurt Stillwell. I liked
Steve Man. I don't believe he was a light hitting
infielder for the Royals and some other teams back many years.

Speaker 3 (37:36):
You don't remember him playing for your Angels in nineteen
ninety three, Coop.

Speaker 1 (37:39):
As before Coop. Coop was a little kidd milkman, Mike
wont with Milliyville. You know the correct answer. If I
give you the guy's nickname, you should get it right away.

Speaker 3 (37:46):
Eddie the Wizard. Oh, that would be Ozzie.

Speaker 1 (37:50):
Since that's right. The greatest defensive shortstop I ever saw.

Speaker 3 (37:57):
God a big was that big postseason home run against
the Dodger.

Speaker 1 (38:00):
Of course it was not as big as the Jack
Clark home run, but Ozzie Smith was. It was the
Joe Buck call, the famous baseball play by play call,
go crazy, right, that was his call on that I
think it was.

Speaker 4 (38:12):
It was.

Speaker 1 (38:13):
But yeah, Ozzie Smith has some lowercase letters on his
plaque and I don't know, I don't know why. I
guess they have this nickname on there. He has two
nicknames on his bike. You know his real name is,
I don't Osbourne. Yeah, you'd rather be called Ozzie if
your name was os Yeah. He has Ozzy is in
lower cases, Z's are in lowercase, and Ozzy and the

(38:35):
I E and then the Wizard also on his play
So we got he got two on there. Let's say
hello to Poppy in San Diego. Let me put the

that drop and get it ready. Uh, Lorena, Oh so.

Speaker 1 (39:14):
He wants the racist trip people, Yeah, Loraina, people demanding
the out of context racist drop. Although I think this
would be this would be no hold up, Poppy, this
would be in proper context. So I don't know that
you want out of context, right? You want when I said, like,
for example, Poppy, if I said, hey, this, you know
that sky? The sky is blue? Right? See right there,
that's it. I mean, there's nothing racist about that right

(39:37):
out of context? See that that's this is much better, call,
Poppy than when you give picks out. See you're you're
giving advice. You look like the jolly green giant.

Speaker 4 (39:48):
Right.

Speaker 1 (39:49):
That's racist?

Speaker 6 (39:49):
