Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our n B three, our three
thumbs up or thumbs down, Talking bays Ball thumbs upper
thumbs down on the Mets as the clearcut favorites for
one Soto supposed to decide here shortly after Thanksgiving. Also
(00:20):
the one Soto sweepstakes said to be down to the
final four. Can you handicap the field other than the Mets?
And a mayor elect is optimistic about a major League
baseball team coming to Portland, Oregon, saying he's confident it's
down to us and one other city. Your thoughts on
baseball heading to another Northwestern outpost. We'll get to that
(00:43):
and more right now here. It is our number three.
It's all about the bling, bling wel gum. In the
beginning of another hour of the Ben Mathers Show, we

Speaker 2 (01:18):
From the Zombie.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
If the zombie apocalypse happens, we'll have the breaking story here.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
First, we are.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Broadcasting live from the Tyraq dot Com studios.

(01:52):
is the Colm before the Storm. The Colm before the
Storm are lead this hour coming from the Hot Stovel
League as we are days away from Thanksgiving. Now normally
what happens right after Thanksgiving. There's a massive movement, a
migration in Baseball Nation players changing laundry, signing big contracts.
(02:19):
The GM meetings have already taken place. The Winter Meetings
are coming up December ninth, so not this coming weekend,
but the weekend after are the Winter meetings, and things
are definitely getting interesting.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Now.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
The big news is all about the diva onfielder for
the New York Yankees, who can be yours if you
give him the gross domestic product of many small countries
to play outfield for your baseball team. We're talking about
Juan Soto. Now, if you've not heard the latest on this.
Because you actually have a life and you don't pay
(02:54):
attention all the time. You let losers like me tell you.
So we are hearing the Mets are clear cut favorites
to sign Juan Soto, to give him the bling bling,
not the championship bling bling, but the bling bling is
in the gold coins, the gold buyon in the free agency. Now,
the reason the Mats are seen as the overwhelming favorite
(03:15):
here is Steve Cohen, the hedge fun billionaire's willingness to
outbid everyone everyone, everyone else. Right now. Whether or not
that's true or not, we'll find out in the coming days.
But the case that's the case, it remains to be seen.
Will find out now. Cohen was asked about this is
(03:36):
the Mets pursuit of Juan Soto during a public event
at a golf course in New York, and he gave
the most non answer but answer you could possibly give.
He said, we're going to find out. Steve Cohen said
it's either going to be yes or no. There's no
in between. Time will tell close quote.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Well, that's some deep commentary by Steve Cohen.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
That's like I'm gonna answer the question, but I'm not
gonna say anything, but my lips are moving.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
But I'm not really telling you anything.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
So let us discuss the question thumbs up or thumbs down.
Thumbs up thumbs down on the mats you buy them
as the clear cut favorites in the Wan Soto sweep steak.
So I'm gonna go thumbs up on this. I've got
tailor shop, chibber jabber, and welfare, and we will combine
(04:31):
all of these things together and we are going to
make a vacuum cleaner, which is what Juan Soto can
use to suck up all that money he's gonna get
from whatever team he signs with. Now, first of all,
my answer is thumbs up. The reason I'm going thumbs
up is because this is not that deep. We're not solving,
you know, the great mysteries of the of the world.
(04:52):
This is not the Bermuda Triangle, this is not Bigfoot,
this is none of those things you connect the dots.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
One.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Soda has been very clear he will go wherever the
money is. He's already turned down three hundred million from
the Nationals, four hundred million from the Padres, five hundred
million from the Yankees. So the next number six hundred million.
Now he's likely going to scoot past that. He's looking
at close to seven hundred, if not seven hundred million dollars.
(05:20):
It's a very good neighborhood to be in. There's good schools,
not a lot of crime, people are nice, there's a
lot of trees, the weather's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
It's really a good neighbor to be in. The seven
hundred million dollar the neighborhood. But you look at the
two so.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
You've got a money hungry ball player in he doesn't
really care about winning. If you care about winning, you'd
say with the you know, you go to the Dodgers,
right one to win. The Dodgers won the World Series,
I mean the playoffs every year. He'll stay with the Yankees.
So it's not about winning. It's about just getting the
full amount of money.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
I get it. I understand. I'm not ripping him. I'm
just that's what he is. He's not worried about the
winning part of it. He's worried about he's already won
a World Series. He's like, all right, i'll go I'll
go over here.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
And i'll have I'll have fun and i'll make a
lot of money. Maybe we'll win maybe we're want so
he wants the money, you'll go to the highest bidder.
Steve Cohen has visited the tailor shop, and he went
into the tailor shop and he had some work done
on his suit, but not the jacket, the pants on
his suit. And he's now had he's had deeper pockets
(06:17):
installed into his suit. And so based on the Bloomberg
Billionaires Index, where I always go the Bloomberg Billionaires.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Index, you'll never find my name on there.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Tell you that right now. And the company keeps keeps
me grounded. And I always tell the bosses here, I
thank you for keeping me ground I don't want to
make too much money.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
I don't want my real.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Estate deals to end up in on the Internet and
all that stuff. I don't want any of that, So
thank you for that. But the Billionaire Index from Bloomberg
has Stephen Cohen as the one hundred and fifty third
richest person in the world in the world, his net
worth fourteen point eight billion. Now keep in mind it's
(07:01):
not really his money because in terms of how much
you'll be paying Juan Soto, he's just gonna take that
out of the money the Mets make and reinvest that
in Juan Soto, that he'll take the TV money and
some price of the hot dogs and the popcorn, the
peanuts and all that and reinvested in Juan Soto.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Now page two.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
If not the Mets, if we're wrong about the Mets,
If somehow, as a child, Juan Soto had a night
mirror about mister Met punching him in the groin, and
he was a child and he was traumatized Juan Soto,
so he doesn't want to play for the Mets. If
that's the case, the Mets are joined by the Yankees,
(07:46):
as well as the Red Sox and the Blue Jays
down to the final four.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
The final four.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
And that's it. Mets, Yankees, Red Sox, and Blue Jays.
The Dodgers, we are told, are out. We'll see if
that's true or not. But either way, that's just for
the purposes of this part of the Malar monologue. Let's
assume the position that it is down to the final
four teams. So why don't you handicap for us the
(08:13):
Jan Soto sweepstakes, handicap the field.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Okay, I'll do that, you know why not?
Speaker 1 (08:20):
So obviously it's it's it's two and two much like
Chuck Woolery back in two and two. The two and
two are the Mets who are one A, the Yankees
who are one B, and then after that, separated by
our country mile, the Boston Red Sox and the Toronto
Blue Jays.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Are third and fourth.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
So if the Red Sox do not end up with
Wan Soda, which is highly likely, on social media, they
can say, hey, we got the bronze, We got the bronze.
Whoo so exciting, so exciting. So it's all about the Benjamins.
It's all about the Benjamins. Listen to the gibber jabber.
(09:06):
Are you hearing the gibber jabber? Turn up your hearing
aid so you can hear the gibber jabber. It's very important.
As we know, money talks and bull crap walks and
it actually runs. And so we're all curious about how
the contract's going to be structured. That's the other part
of so Wan SODA's going to agree to a deal
(09:28):
and what kind of deals you get. Like New York
is obviously a state that believes in just sticking it
to their resonance with taxes, right, they just pull your
pants down and tax you up. The Wazoo, much like
California where we do the show from so high taxation.
So Wan Soto's twenty six years old, so if you
(09:48):
do the math on this, he can play the long game.
Let's say he signs for ten or fifteen years. Does
he take a page out of the Otani playbook and
get most of that money deferred to avoid Uncle Sam
and the taxman and move to some exotic location somewhere
(10:09):
with no taxation and just play it that way. That
would be the wise move. He's young enough at twenty
six if he signed a fifteen year contract, he'd be
in his early forties by the time that contract ended
and have a lot of life to live, assuming he's
in good health and off to the races.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
All right. Now, final thought, we're gonna stay with baseball.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
We're gonna go to Oregon, a state that does not
have Major League Baseball. We go to the Oregon Trail
Interesting story. Now, the Trailblazers are the only game in
town for our purposes, and in terms of the big
meat and potatoes sports operations, you've got NFL, NHL, baseball,
(10:51):
and basketball. They only have a basketball team, the Portland Trailblazers,
that's it, but perhaps not for long. Say what the
mayor elect said to be optimistic about major League Baseball
getting their act together and putting a team in Portland, Oregon. Portlandia,
(11:13):
if you will, a city famous for their civil unrest
and lawlessness and lunatics who run a mock in the
public square.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
So the mayor elect is saying, in.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Major League Baseball they feel pretty good about the team
coming to Portland, Oregon, saying that he is confident.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
It's down to us and one other city.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Your thoughts, all right, So my thought on this appropriately
enough because it is the state of Oregon. So it's
puffed the magic tracking right. This is a this is
a pipe dream. That was my first It's like a
pipe dream for several reasons, like the politics and Oregon
are pretty complicated. But major League Baseball, like all these
other see sports leagues, they do not they do not
(12:04):
play ball unless they get a handout. They do not
play ball unless they get subsidized. And that means corporate welfare.
So that's tax breaks, that's build a stadium with legal loopholes,
all that stuff. Now, Rob Manford's in a bit of
a pickle jar. Sorry, alf the alienal Pinter, but he
(12:26):
isn't a bit of a pickle jar. And the reason why.
All right, now, they're supposed to add two teams in
baseball to get the thirty two, but they have to
get some other business settled before then. Now they currently
want to get that done. Rob Manford says he's out
by twenty twenty nine. His deal ends. He's gonna step
(12:47):
down as the Weasley Commissioner, handing out that little piece
of metal in twenty twenty nine, So the expansion announcement
is supposed to happen prior to that. The target year
is twenty thirty one, which sounds like it's far away,
but we're almost into twenty twenty five and it's gonna,
(13:10):
you know, time just zooms by, So before you know it,
we're gonna be into twenty thirty one, assuming we're all
lucky enough to make it. The problem there is a
supply chain shortage, there is a drought. You've got Vegas
and Nashville, who for years were supposed to be expansion destinations,
(13:31):
but for now the Oakland Athletics are heading to Vegas.
Supposedly they're gonna build a stadium. Well, see if it
actually happens or not, but they tore down the hotel
to build the stadium. And then in Nashville, some news
out the Tampa Bay Rays are going to decide by
this weekend whether or not they want a deal with
(13:54):
the politicians in Florida there to stay and build the stadium.
If not, they will likely play one season or two
seasons lame duck years in Florida and.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Then they're gone.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
And what I heard I was talking to some people,
I was texting them during the day on Monday, and
everyone's saying Nashville, Nashville, Nashville, that the Rays will end
up in Nashville.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Now, nothing's confirmed on that.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
That's just speculation and the people that people that work
in the business that that is where Tampa Bay will
end up. If they leave Florida, they'll go to Nashville.
So that eliminates Nashville as an expansion destination.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
So what do you do? Then?
Speaker 1 (14:38):
You had Vegas and Nashville. If both of them take
established teams, you men have to pivot.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Well, where do you go?
Speaker 1 (14:45):
The other options are Charlotte, Indy, Portland, Oregon, tim Buck two,
I mean where they've talked also about putting another team
in the New York area in New Jersey, and but
that would you'd be upsetting the Mets and the Yankees
and all that. So is that somewhere you'd be willing
(15:08):
to go?
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Or would they?
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Would that even be allowed? Would you put a team
back in northern California? Would the Giants allow another team?
If the A's move to Vegas, would you be able
to put another team there? Anyway, There's a lot of
moving parts, But that's where we are. The mayor of Portland, Oregon,
the mayor elect saying that they think they got a
good shot to get a major League Baseball team in
the I assume he met with the expansion. It is

Show Crazy a matching set, It just.
Speaker 2 (17:44):

Speaker 6 (17:51):
Even the gloves aren't matching the jacket, but they.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Sometimes I go to the gym. I'm not bragging. I
don't go very often right now because i'mtill busy with

time to go in the off season from football, and
I will leave the house and sometimes I'll sweatpants on
and I'll have a sweat jacket and it kind of
looks like a matching set.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
I say, oh, I'm going soprano style, and I feel.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
No, I feel like an idiot. I feel like, oh,

money as I put my name on everything.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
But here is the Mallor Riddle of the day.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
A Michigan State student and professor if teamed up to
design a blank to help football teams. So they say
they will help football teams. That is the question. What
is the answer? Obscene Dean says they invented a new
and improved pushy pushy.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
That that is the answer.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
A new gas mask bong from Donkey's Sausage. Who else
do we have page down? Late night drug tester. They
developed clones to attend classes for them.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
The good thing about college sports is the last couple
of years they've just given up the mirage of even
going to class. It's semi professional sports. A new strain
of crystal meth from Fergnog that's his answer. Vibrating jockstrap
from Stevie Meatballs in Florida. I think that's what you
want under the tree for Christmas. Who else do we have?
(19:33):
Page Down? They developed proved ways to call your co
workers stupid.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
It's from King Rory see.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Page down A blow up tackling dummy guest by I
forty Ian Dante says a robot that plays quarterback is
the answer, and AI athletic supporter from alf the Alien
opiner see can't read that? Staypuffed tackling dummies from Eke
in Roseville, Minnesota. Our buddy JT. The wingman from Knoxville
(20:05):
checks in with a high heeled football shoe.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
That's actually pretty funny.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
I'm surprised we haven't seen that the last couple of years,
with the way the world was headed there.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Who else do we have?
Speaker 1 (20:15):
A robotic echo skeleton from DJ Spin the Star of Sundayego.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Who else do you have?
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Inca terror from New York going with a golden goose
as his answer. A lot of athletic supporter answers, who
else do we have? A sea page down? Can't read that?
Speaker 3 (20:33):
Art?
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Lorraine up? Loraine, what is the answer to the Mallard
Riddle of the day? And again, if you're late to
the party, bad job by you. The Mallard Riddle of
the Day. A Michigan State student and professor have designed
a blank to help football teams.
Speaker 5 (20:51):
A special line of sweat resistant socks.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Ben do you sweat a lot? Your feet sweat a lot?
Speaker 5 (20:58):
No, I don't sweat anywhere.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
We don't sweat. When everyone has to sweat.
Speaker 5 (21:01):
You die if you don't.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Everyone has to. Oh no, the people that don't sweat.
There's that and the past. Charlie Villain a waiver, right,
there's a if you have like the thing where you
don't have the hair, you don't sweat, right, Is that true?
Is that part of the deal. Yeah, alopecia. I think
there's a sweating.
Speaker 5 (21:18):
Alca I alopecia.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
I'm pretty sure that there's something to do with sweat,
with the alopecia.
Speaker 5 (21:25):
She's lying.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
I've seen her sweat. Wow, I do not sweat. Are
you lying?
Speaker 1 (21:28):
You cannot lie on the radio. You're not allowed to
lie on the radio. The FCC will get involved. You
lie on the radio.
Speaker 5 (21:33):
Okay, next time it's really hot outside, I will show
you guys.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
I do not swech.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Okay, Well, you're you're wrong the correct answer. A Michigan
State student and professor have teamed up to design crowd
noise controlling helmet inserts so when.
Speaker 5 (21:48):
Teams go on the road.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
They don't have to worry about it.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Yeah, the head football equipment manager at Michigan State and
giving the quarterbacks and linebackers having a problem on the
road and all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
So they came up with a solution.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
It was right across the street there a mechanical engineer
professor and the head of the bio Mechanical Design Research Laboratory.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
That's a mouthful. That's a mouthful.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Also a season ticket older for old Sparty teamed up
with a student, a sophomore biosystems Injera Major, an undergrad
named Riley, and they went to the lab and they
set out to produce an ear hole insert made from
a certain.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
I don't know different to crap that plastic and whatnot.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
They threw together in a laser printer, a three D printer,
and they claim they have they've come.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Up with it.
Speaker 5 (22:46):
It works.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
It's wonderful that they made its debut last week once
the season got on the way. Guess its actually been
going on more than last week, but they've been futzing
around with it, and they said they came up with something,
and their pride and joy, so good for them, all, right,
Le's go to the phones, and we'll say hello to
Whoopee Pie Blair, who's in the great state of Maine,
(23:08):

That, you, you and Gunner, you don't need a class.
A Gunner is going to do that as well. You know,

They teach me how to do the class. And when
I go through the class, you do how to be
appropriate on the on the air.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
It's a pod.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
You don't on radio. You have to be appropriate on
a podcast. You don't have to be appropriate on a podcast.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
You can be looking.
Speaker 7 (25:10):
Well, apparently you do because you get kicked off.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
No. No, podcasts are not regulated by the government, thank god.
Maybe they will be soon.
Speaker 5 (25:20):
I don't know though, Like, you can't play music.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Oh yeah, the music that you're get in a lot
of trouble.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Yeah, because you have any music you play, you have
to pay the music companies. There's only you have to
play a lot of the websites. They have evergreen music
stuff that you don't have to pay licensing for. You
have to find out.
Speaker 7 (25:37):
So let me ask you this then, Una.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
How about love Raina?
Speaker 1 (25:47):
How about can we get it love Raina for a
thousand love Reina.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Okay, that's a drop. That's a job.
Speaker 7 (25:58):
That is a drop. My bad.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
You know you are You're a band. Wagner is what
you are. You're a band wagner is what you're.
Speaker 7 (26:05):
Yeah, exactly. I told somebody that on TikTok that I
am Yeah you are so or Facebook, So I was
just gonna ask her. So you can't You cannot play
any music on any of the podcast sites.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
No, but you have to pay the music. The way
the music industry works is you play. We we pay
a lot of money to the music record labels to
have access to play music.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
But we're only able to play a little bit of music.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
But if you have a podcast, like the chance of
you getting in trouble are pretty slim. But knowing you Blair,
you'll get in trouble, so be careful. I think you'll
be bigger. You know, you're gonna be bigger than that
Hawk Tool girl.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
She's a big podcaster.
Speaker 7 (26:44):
You'll be just like, yeah, no, I'm talking sports. I'm
not doing that.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
Now.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Are you gonna is it gonna be all about that Blair?
Blair is gonna be all about you? Or are you
gonna have guests on your.
Speaker 7 (26:56):
Podcast about sports.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
And about sports? You be, You're gonna be sporty Blair.
But people like goofy Blair. People enjoy the goofy side
of your life, you get it. They want to learn
behind the microphone what makes Blair and Main tick.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
That's what they want to know.
Speaker 7 (27:11):
Yeah, yeah, you're right, You're totally right. But hey, but
my other thing was should I get a laptop because
a lot of people hook up their mic. Look, I
got a micy yesterday at Walmart.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (27:24):
Mic.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
Well.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
The great thing about podcasting is that you can spend
a lot of money on it, or you can. You know,
Joe Rogan started his podcast in a garage with a
crappy microphone.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
And now he's a big deal.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
And it doesn't matter as long as you have good
The way I was told anything of radio or podcasting,
if you provide good content, people.
Speaker 7 (27:42):
Will laptop.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Let's usually easier because you have to upload it to
wherever your your server is.
Speaker 7 (27:50):
And all that laptop speaking.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
Up to I like, I feel like this is an
off the air conversation. We're having an on the air
conversation that should be off the air. I feel like
this is an off the air conversation. We're doing this
on the air. Would you like to recommend wish laptop
to buy?
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Would you want me to? You know, let me try.
Speaker 7 (28:04):
No, I know, Hey, but your Rams sucked the other
day though.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
Ben ah see, that's that's a preview take of Blair's podcast.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
That's gonna be a take on this podcast.
Speaker 7 (28:13):
Yeah, I know the Rams played terrible. I heard they
were trying to get me to talk about that on
the Big Jab. Yeah, we're like, oh, come on, let's
talk about the Rams. I thought you were a Rams fan.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
No, no, you move, but you moved to Maine, so
you're a Patriots fan. Now you're not in La anymore.
Speaker 7 (28:30):
No, no, no, I don't want to talk about the Patriots.
They sucked. They're totally they're franchise. Let me tell you this, Ben,
I'll get into the Patriots. I'll deep time the Patriots
right now. The Patriots the next few years. They got
no coaching stuff. They can do nothing. The players, they're
so so. The quarterback.

Speaker 1 (30:13):
Man.
Speaker 8 (30:15):
You were talking about baseball team movie.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
Well, yeah, the mayor elect in Portland, Oregon thinks they
got a chance to get a baseball team.
Speaker 8 (30:27):
Well I kind of lost track when I heard vibrating
and you know, doc trap. But anyways, what about the
South side of Chicago.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
Don't they need a team?
Speaker 1 (30:36):
Oh see, you're doing jokes. Lame jokes are on Friday,
not today. You're doing what you're doing the lame jokes.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
So you're doing.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Yeah, they had a team and in a while, I
think they should put a team back in Montreal, just
because the players like going to the strip clubs.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
In Montreal and look, let's look out for baseball players.
They love.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
That used to be the favorite trip. And when you
go it used to be Western teams or Midwestern teams.
You go to Philadelphia and New York and Montreal, and
they always had problem. They always had problems in Montreal
because of the the ballet there distracted the guys.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
So it wasn't Canada. Weren't they thinking about doing something
like that again? Not that long ago.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
It was a while ago.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
I used to get emails from a guy that played
for the Expos named Warren Cramarty, who was part of
a group to try to bring the Expos back to Montreal.
They had a design. He sent me some propaganda. They
had a ballpark in downtown Montreal, outdoor ballpark, beautiful with
the skyline.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
Of Montreal right behind it.
Speaker 9 (31:33):
All.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
They had the design all ready to go. They supposedly
had some money people, so it's possible. There's I don't
know if there's enough corporate money. A lot of it's
based on corporate money. These teams, you have to have
certain big corporations willing to bankroll sponsorships and whatnot for
the team that Yeah, Hey, I went doing.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
The Montreal game, you know, because they played the Twins,
you know, but I wouldn't be allowed in the country.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Oh all right, then you are thenk you manch All right,

Speaker 1 (32:55):
I'm not a big fruity tea guy, don't anyway, Well,
what's going on there, Johnny?
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Do you got man?
Speaker 9 (33:00):
You guys talking about the expos I remember when I
was a kid, we used to get baseball Pats get
the expo stickers or the expo carts, and they were garbage.
Now the team's gone, Man, we miss them. I missed
that logo, I missed the jerseys. I missed everything about it.
I do wish they'd that they'd put another team bats
over there.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
Nostalgia, you missed the nostalgia.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
And the greatest hat were the great hats, that three
pronged hat with the red, white and.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
Blue, the Montreal Expos, the whole school hat. Loved it.
Speaker 9 (33:27):
Yeah, I looked good in those colors too, man, I
miss it. I'm a I'm a Raiders and Ace fan.
I grew up in Oakland, and you know, our teams
are are leaving, and uh, that's kind of a different
story for me. I was glad that they were going
out of state because, you know, growing up in that
environment and going to those games man trash, you know,
(33:49):
horse horse trolley, urinals and literal rats and water everywhere.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
There are actually rats everywhere. You know, there the rats story.
Every stadium has rats. Dodger Stadium has rats. You know,
everywhere you go there's rats.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
There's more, there's more in certain cities.
Speaker 9 (34:07):
But yeah, well I think it was a Legion Stadium
when I was young that uh, that stadium is the
low sea level. So when the sea level rises, the
stadium actually floods and the rats come out like none other.
It's insane.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
Well, it's a survival. They're trying to survive.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
You're upset. They're trying to survive. They don't want to die.
The rats are trying to live. They want to live
the rats.
Speaker 9 (34:30):
So all all I want is the Raiders to do good.
I think that they're going to be able to do
that in Vegas. And the only way the A's are
going to do good is if they get a little
bit more money behind them, and that's that's it'd be nice.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
If they got a new owner, that would be also nice.
Speaker 9 (34:46):
But they get it, that would be great.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
Yeah, all right, I thank you to be safe out there, Johnny.

final four. Can you handicap the field other than the Mets?
And a mayor elect is optimistic about a major League

down to us and one other city. Your thoughts on
baseball heading to another Northwestern outpost. We'll get to that

(01:52):
is the Colm before the Storm. The Colm before the
Storm are lead this hour coming from the Hot Stovel
League as we are days away from Thanksgiving. Now normally
what happens right after Thanksgiving. There's a massive movement, a
migration in Baseball Nation players changing laundry, signing big contracts.
(02:19):
The GM meetings have already taken place. The Winter Meetings
are coming up December ninth, so not this coming weekend,
but the weekend after are the Winter meetings, and things
are definitely getting interesting.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Now.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
The big news is all about the diva onfielder for
the New York Yankees, who can be yours if you
give him the gross domestic product of many small countries
to play outfield for your baseball team. We're talking about
Juan Soto. Now, if you've not heard the latest on this.
Because you actually have a life and you don't pay
(02:54):
attention all the time. You let losers like me tell you.
So we are hearing the Mets are clear cut favorites
to sign Juan Soto, to give him the bling bling,
not the championship bling bling, but the bling bling is
in the gold coins, the gold buyon in the free agency. Now,
the reason the Mats are seen as the overwhelming favorite
(03:15):
here is Steve Cohen, the hedge fun billionaire's willingness to
outbid everyone everyone, everyone else. Right now. Whether or not
that's true or not, we'll find out in the coming days.
But the case that's the case, it remains to be seen.
Will find out now. Cohen was asked about this is
(03:36):
the Mets pursuit of Juan Soto during a public event
at a golf course in New York, and he gave
the most non answer but answer you could possibly give.
He said, we're going to find out. Steve Cohen said
it's either going to be yes or no. There's no
in between. Time will tell close quote.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Well, that's some deep commentary by Steve Cohen.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
That's like I'm gonna answer the question, but I'm not
gonna say anything, but my lips are moving.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
But I'm not really telling you anything.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
So let us discuss the question thumbs up or thumbs down.
Thumbs up thumbs down on the mats you buy them
as the clear cut favorites in the Wan Soto sweep steak.
So I'm gonna go thumbs up on this. I've got
tailor shop, chibber jabber, and welfare, and we will combine
(04:31):
all of these things together and we are going to
make a vacuum cleaner, which is what Juan Soto can
use to suck up all that money he's gonna get
from whatever team he signs with. Now, first of all,
my answer is thumbs up. The reason I'm going thumbs
up is because this is not that deep. We're not solving,
you know, the great mysteries of the of the world.
(04:52):
This is not the Bermuda Triangle, this is not Bigfoot,
this is none of those things you connect the dots.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
One.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Soda has been very clear he will go wherever the
money is. He's already turned down three hundred million from
the Nationals, four hundred million from the Padres, five hundred
million from the Yankees. So the next number six hundred million.
Now he's likely going to scoot past that. He's looking
at close to seven hundred, if not seven hundred million dollars.
(05:20):
It's a very good neighborhood to be in. There's good schools,
not a lot of crime, people are nice, there's a
lot of trees, the weather's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
It's really a good neighbor to be in. The seven
hundred million dollar the neighborhood. But you look at the
two so.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
You've got a money hungry ball player in he doesn't
really care about winning. If you care about winning, you'd
say with the you know, you go to the Dodgers,
right one to win. The Dodgers won the World Series,
I mean the playoffs every year. He'll stay with the Yankees.
So it's not about winning. It's about just getting the
full amount of money.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
I get it. I understand. I'm not ripping him. I'm
just that's what he is. He's not worried about the
winning part of it. He's worried about he's already won
a World Series. He's like, all right, i'll go I'll
go over here.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
And i'll have I'll have fun and i'll make a
lot of money. Maybe we'll win maybe we're want so
he wants the money, you'll go to the highest bidder.
Steve Cohen has visited the tailor shop, and he went
into the tailor shop and he had some work done
on his suit, but not the jacket, the pants on
his suit. And he's now had he's had deeper pockets
(06:17):
installed into his suit. And so based on the Bloomberg
Billionaires Index, where I always go the Bloomberg Billionaires.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Index, you'll never find my name on there.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Tell you that right now. And the company keeps keeps
me grounded. And I always tell the bosses here, I
thank you for keeping me ground I don't want to
make too much money.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
I don't want my real.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Estate deals to end up in on the Internet and
all that stuff. I don't want any of that, So
thank you for that. But the Billionaire Index from Bloomberg
has Stephen Cohen as the one hundred and fifty third
richest person in the world in the world, his net
worth fourteen point eight billion. Now keep in mind it's
(07:01):
not really his money because in terms of how much
you'll be paying Juan Soto, he's just gonna take that
out of the money the Mets make and reinvest that
in Juan Soto, that he'll take the TV money and
some price of the hot dogs and the popcorn, the
peanuts and all that and reinvested in Juan Soto.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Now page two.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
If not the Mets, if we're wrong about the Mets,
If somehow, as a child, Juan Soto had a night
mirror about mister Met punching him in the groin, and
he was a child and he was traumatized Juan Soto,
so he doesn't want to play for the Mets. If
that's the case, the Mets are joined by the Yankees,
(07:46):
as well as the Red Sox and the Blue Jays
down to the final four.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
The final four.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
And that's it. Mets, Yankees, Red Sox, and Blue Jays.
The Dodgers, we are told, are out. We'll see if
that's true or not. But either way, that's just for
the purposes of this part of the Malar monologue. Let's
assume the position that it is down to the final
four teams. So why don't you handicap for us the
(08:13):
Jan Soto sweepstakes, handicap the field.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Okay, I'll do that, you know why not?
Speaker 1 (08:20):
So obviously it's it's it's two and two much like
Chuck Woolery back in two and two. The two and
two are the Mets who are one A, the Yankees
who are one B, and then after that, separated by
our country mile, the Boston Red Sox and the Toronto
Blue Jays.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Are third and fourth.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
So if the Red Sox do not end up with
Wan Soda, which is highly likely, on social media, they
can say, hey, we got the bronze, We got the bronze.
Whoo so exciting, so exciting. So it's all about the Benjamins.
It's all about the Benjamins. Listen to the gibber jabber.
(09:06):
Are you hearing the gibber jabber? Turn up your hearing
aid so you can hear the gibber jabber. It's very important.
As we know, money talks and bull crap walks and
it actually runs. And so we're all curious about how
the contract's going to be structured. That's the other part
of so Wan SODA's going to agree to a deal
(09:28):
and what kind of deals you get. Like New York
is obviously a state that believes in just sticking it
to their resonance with taxes, right, they just pull your
pants down and tax you up. The Wazoo, much like
California where we do the show from so high taxation.
So Wan Soto's twenty six years old, so if you
(09:48):
do the math on this, he can play the long game.
Let's say he signs for ten or fifteen years. Does
he take a page out of the Otani playbook and
get most of that money deferred to avoid Uncle Sam
and the taxman and move to some exotic location somewhere
(10:09):
with no taxation and just play it that way. That
would be the wise move. He's young enough at twenty
six if he signed a fifteen year contract, he'd be
in his early forties by the time that contract ended
and have a lot of life to live, assuming he's
in good health and off to the races.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
All right. Now, final thought, we're gonna stay with baseball.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
We're gonna go to Oregon, a state that does not
have Major League Baseball. We go to the Oregon Trail
Interesting story. Now, the Trailblazers are the only game in
town for our purposes, and in terms of the big
meat and potatoes sports operations, you've got NFL, NHL, baseball,
(10:51):
and basketball. They only have a basketball team, the Portland Trailblazers,
that's it, but perhaps not for long. Say what the
mayor elect said to be optimistic about major League Baseball
getting their act together and putting a team in Portland, Oregon. Portlandia,
(11:13):
if you will, a city famous for their civil unrest
and lawlessness and lunatics who run a mock in the
public square.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
So the mayor elect is saying, in.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Major League Baseball they feel pretty good about the team
coming to Portland, Oregon, saying that he is confident.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
It's down to us and one other city.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Your thoughts, all right, So my thought on this appropriately
enough because it is the state of Oregon. So it's
puffed the magic tracking right. This is a this is
a pipe dream. That was my first It's like a
pipe dream for several reasons, like the politics and Oregon
are pretty complicated. But major League Baseball, like all these
other see sports leagues, they do not they do not
(12:04):
play ball unless they get a handout. They do not
play ball unless they get subsidized. And that means corporate welfare.
So that's tax breaks, that's build a stadium with legal loopholes,
all that stuff. Now, Rob Manford's in a bit of
a pickle jar. Sorry, alf the alienal Pinter, but he
(12:26):
isn't a bit of a pickle jar. And the reason why.
All right, now, they're supposed to add two teams in
baseball to get the thirty two, but they have to
get some other business settled before then. Now they currently
want to get that done. Rob Manford says he's out
by twenty twenty nine. His deal ends. He's gonna step
(12:47):
down as the Weasley Commissioner, handing out that little piece
of metal in twenty twenty nine, So the expansion announcement
is supposed to happen prior to that. The target year
is twenty thirty one, which sounds like it's far away,
but we're almost into twenty twenty five and it's gonna,
(13:10):
you know, time just zooms by, So before you know it,
we're gonna be into twenty thirty one, assuming we're all
lucky enough to make it. The problem there is a
supply chain shortage, there is a drought. You've got Vegas
and Nashville, who for years were supposed to be expansion destinations,
(13:31):
but for now the Oakland Athletics are heading to Vegas.
Supposedly they're gonna build a stadium. Well, see if it
actually happens or not, but they tore down the hotel
to build the stadium. And then in Nashville, some news
out the Tampa Bay Rays are going to decide by
this weekend whether or not they want a deal with
(13:54):
the politicians in Florida there to stay and build the stadium.
If not, they will likely play one season or two
seasons lame duck years in Florida and.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Then they're gone.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
And what I heard I was talking to some people,
I was texting them during the day on Monday, and
everyone's saying Nashville, Nashville, Nashville, that the Rays will end
up in Nashville.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Now, nothing's confirmed on that.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
That's just speculation and the people that people that work
in the business that that is where Tampa Bay will
end up. If they leave Florida, they'll go to Nashville.
So that eliminates Nashville as an expansion destination.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
So what do you do? Then?
Speaker 1 (14:38):
You had Vegas and Nashville. If both of them take
established teams, you men have to pivot.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Well, where do you go?
Speaker 1 (14:45):
The other options are Charlotte, Indy, Portland, Oregon, tim Buck two,
I mean where they've talked also about putting another team
in the New York area in New Jersey, and but
that would you'd be upsetting the Mets and the Yankees
and all that. So is that somewhere you'd be willing
(15:08):
to go?
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Or would they?
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Would that even be allowed? Would you put a team
back in northern California? Would the Giants allow another team?
If the A's move to Vegas, would you be able
to put another team there? Anyway, There's a lot of
moving parts, But that's where we are. The mayor of Portland, Oregon,
the mayor elect saying that they think they got a
good shot to get a major League Baseball team in
the I assume he met with the expansion. It is
(15:31):
the Ben Mallord Show. If you would like to be part,

Speaker 2 (16:02):
You are ready?
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Here we go a Michigan State student and professor have
designed a blank that will help football teams. Again, a
Michigan State student and professor have designed a blank that
they say.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Will help football teams. But what is it?
Speaker 1 (16:23):
That's the Mallord riddle of the day. The answer, We'll
get to it and we will do it.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Next.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Bell Miller here. Back to the schmuck Maller in a minute.
I've been asked to beg you to send messages in
on social media during the live broadcast, not the recorded podcast,
the live broadcast. They're all wearing Bell bottoms, having a disco.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Kind of a night.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
On social media. On x you can follow Ben Maller.
Why would you at? Ben Mahler very original name, Coop
dal loop At a Bronco fan, and Loraina the FSR
tech queen, and now back.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
To bloviating many.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
That's right, Bell, that's right, Lorraina all decked out though
she's got I call that the Sopranos outfit. When you
have the jumpsuit, the matching jumpsuit, there It reminds me
of the Sopranos.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
I used to watch a very popular.
Speaker 5 (17:41):
Show Crazy a matching set, It just.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Looks like it's not a matching says you.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
You created that set yourself to make it appear that
it matches, But it does.
Speaker 6 (17:51):
Even the gloves aren't matching the jacket, but they.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Sometimes I go to the gym. I'm not bragging. I
don't go very often right now because i'mtill busy with
the these jobs I have. But when I have had
time to go in the off season from football, and
I will leave the house and sometimes I'll sweatpants on
and I'll have a sweat jacket and it kind of
looks like a matching set.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
I say, oh, I'm going soprano style, and I feel.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
No, I feel like an idiot. I feel like, oh,
you know, I feel like an old dude. That's what
old dudes do, right, They have the matching outface you Oh,
you said, see, I'm the opposite at mahol Man.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
What an idiot? Why didn't I look at the mirror
before I left the house.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
You know, maybe I'll take the jacket off so I
don't look exactly like a character in an old old
HBO show or something like that.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Anyway, it is the Ben Mallor Show.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Time now for the Mallard Riddle of the Day coming
up in a few minutes, we'll have Mallard's amount of
money as I put my name on everything.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
But here is the Mallor Riddle of the day.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
A Michigan State student and professor if teamed up to
design a blank to help football teams. So they say
they will help football teams. That is the question. What
is the answer? Obscene Dean says they invented a new
and improved pushy pushy.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
That that is the answer.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
A new gas mask bong from Donkey's Sausage. Who else
do we have page down? Late night drug tester. They
developed clones to attend classes for them.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
The good thing about college sports is the last couple
of years they've just given up the mirage of even
going to class. It's semi professional sports. A new strain
of crystal meth from Fergnog that's his answer. Vibrating jockstrap
from Stevie Meatballs in Florida. I think that's what you
want under the tree for Christmas. Who else do we have?
(19:33):
Page Down? They developed proved ways to call your co
workers stupid.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
It's from King Rory see.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Page down A blow up tackling dummy guest by I
forty Ian Dante says a robot that plays quarterback is
the answer, and AI athletic supporter from alf the Alien
opiner see can't read that? Staypuffed tackling dummies from Eke
in Roseville, Minnesota. Our buddy JT. The wingman from Knoxville
(20:05):
checks in with a high heeled football shoe.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
That's actually pretty funny.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
I'm surprised we haven't seen that the last couple of years,
with the way the world was headed there.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Who else do we have?
Speaker 1 (20:15):
A robotic echo skeleton from DJ Spin the Star of Sundayego.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Who else do you have?
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Inca terror from New York going with a golden goose
as his answer. A lot of athletic supporter answers, who
else do we have? A sea page down? Can't read that?
Speaker 3 (20:33):
Art?
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Lorraine up? Loraine, what is the answer to the Mallard
Riddle of the day? And again, if you're late to
the party, bad job by you. The Mallard Riddle of
the Day. A Michigan State student and professor have designed
a blank to help football teams.
Speaker 5 (20:51):
A special line of sweat resistant socks.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Ben do you sweat a lot? Your feet sweat a lot?
Speaker 5 (20:58):
No, I don't sweat anywhere.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
We don't sweat. When everyone has to sweat.
Speaker 5 (21:01):
You die if you don't.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Everyone has to. Oh no, the people that don't sweat.
There's that and the past. Charlie Villain a waiver, right,
there's a if you have like the thing where you
don't have the hair, you don't sweat, right, Is that true?
Is that part of the deal. Yeah, alopecia. I think
there's a sweating.
Speaker 5 (21:18):
Alca I alopecia.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
I'm pretty sure that there's something to do with sweat,
with the alopecia.
Speaker 5 (21:25):
She's lying.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
I've seen her sweat. Wow, I do not sweat. Are
you lying?
Speaker 1 (21:28):
You cannot lie on the radio. You're not allowed to
lie on the radio. The FCC will get involved. You
lie on the radio.
Speaker 5 (21:33):
Okay, next time it's really hot outside, I will show
you guys.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
I do not swech.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Okay, Well, you're you're wrong the correct answer. A Michigan
State student and professor have teamed up to design crowd
noise controlling helmet inserts so when.
Speaker 5 (21:48):
Teams go on the road.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
They don't have to worry about it.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Yeah, the head football equipment manager at Michigan State and
giving the quarterbacks and linebackers having a problem on the
road and all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
So they came up with a solution.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
It was right across the street there a mechanical engineer
professor and the head of the bio Mechanical Design Research Laboratory.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
That's a mouthful. That's a mouthful.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Also a season ticket older for old Sparty teamed up
with a student, a sophomore biosystems Injera Major, an undergrad
named Riley, and they went to the lab and they
set out to produce an ear hole insert made from
a certain.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
I don't know different to crap that plastic and whatnot.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
They threw together in a laser printer, a three D printer,
and they claim they have they've come.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Up with it.
Speaker 5 (22:46):
It works.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
It's wonderful that they made its debut last week once
the season got on the way. Guess its actually been
going on more than last week, but they've been futzing
around with it, and they said they came up with something,
and their pride and joy, so good for them, all, right,
Le's go to the phones, and we'll say hello to
Whoopee Pie Blair, who's in the great state of Maine,
(23:08):
the mathematician Whoopee Pie Blair.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Hello, Blair Blair. If I was any better, I'd be sleeping.
But I'm not. I'm here now.
Speaker 7 (23:20):
I'm gonna go back to sleep.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
You're gonna go.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
You woke up just to call the show. I'm honored
that you woke up to call the show. That's a
great thing. I'm flattered that you care about to show
that much, because you know, you're such a big start.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
You know.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Oh, is that why you woke up? Maybe you woke
up for that? What about Chicka Wow?
Speaker 7 (23:38):
Wow Wow Wow? Man? Our show Fox Sports Radio? You
know it a show alive. I've mentioned you already, you.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Have who did you mention me? Are you promoting the show?
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Are you going on other rogue shows and doing gorilla marketing?
Speaker 7 (23:58):
Are you spread well because I mentioned it? Because I'm
going to start doing I'm gonna start doing a class.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Oh you doing a class? What is the class going
to be? Are you gonna teach math? What do you do?
Speaker 7 (24:11):
The class is going to do it? So the class
is going to be So it's going to help me.
So they're going to teach me the appropriate way to
do it, so I don't get kicked off.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 7 (24:24):
I want to do? So when I want to do
the podcast that I want to say, Oh.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Are you going to start the Blair Blair in Maine podcast?
Speaker 7 (24:33):
Yeah? Wow, when I do the podcast, So when I start.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
That, you, you and Gunner, you don't need a class.
A Gunner is going to do that as well. You know,
you and Gunner can team up and do a tag
team podcast. You're a bigger star than Gunner. But he
works at the Walmart in Minnesota. He's starting a YouTube channel.
Speaker 7 (24:52):
Yeah. So when I go through the class, they help me.
They teach me how to do the class. And when
I go through the class, you do how to be
appropriate on the on the air.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
It's a pod.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
You don't on radio. You have to be appropriate on
a podcast. You don't have to be appropriate on a podcast.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
You can be looking.
Speaker 7 (25:10):
Well, apparently you do because you get kicked off.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
No. No, podcasts are not regulated by the government, thank god.
Maybe they will be soon.
Speaker 5 (25:20):
I don't know though, Like, you can't play music.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Oh yeah, the music that you're get in a lot
of trouble.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Yeah, because you have any music you play, you have
to pay the music companies. There's only you have to
play a lot of the websites. They have evergreen music
stuff that you don't have to pay licensing for. You
have to find out.
Speaker 7 (25:37):
So let me ask you this then, Una.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
How about love Raina?
Speaker 1 (25:47):
How about can we get it love Raina for a
thousand love Reina.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Okay, that's a drop. That's a job.
Speaker 7 (25:58):
That is a drop. My bad.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
You know you are You're a band. Wagner is what
you are. You're a band wagner is what you're.
Speaker 7 (26:05):
Yeah, exactly. I told somebody that on TikTok that I
am Yeah you are so or Facebook, So I was
just gonna ask her. So you can't You cannot play
any music on any of the podcast sites.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
No, but you have to pay the music. The way
the music industry works is you play. We we pay
a lot of money to the music record labels to
have access to play music.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
But we're only able to play a little bit of music.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
But if you have a podcast, like the chance of
you getting in trouble are pretty slim. But knowing you Blair,
you'll get in trouble, so be careful. I think you'll
be bigger. You know, you're gonna be bigger than that
Hawk Tool girl.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
She's a big podcaster.
Speaker 7 (26:44):
You'll be just like, yeah, no, I'm talking sports. I'm
not doing that.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
Now.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Are you gonna is it gonna be all about that Blair?
Blair is gonna be all about you? Or are you
gonna have guests on your.
Speaker 7 (26:56):
Podcast about sports.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
And about sports? You be, You're gonna be sporty Blair.
But people like goofy Blair. People enjoy the goofy side
of your life, you get it. They want to learn
behind the microphone what makes Blair and Main tick.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
That's what they want to know.
Speaker 7 (27:11):
Yeah, yeah, you're right, You're totally right. But hey, but
my other thing was should I get a laptop because
a lot of people hook up their mic. Look, I
got a micy yesterday at Walmart.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (27:24):
Mic.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
Well.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
The great thing about podcasting is that you can spend
a lot of money on it, or you can. You know,
Joe Rogan started his podcast in a garage with a
crappy microphone.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
And now he's a big deal.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
And it doesn't matter as long as you have good
The way I was told anything of radio or podcasting,
if you provide good content, people.
Speaker 7 (27:42):
Will laptop.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Let's usually easier because you have to upload it to
wherever your your server is.
Speaker 7 (27:50):
And all that laptop speaking.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
Up to I like, I feel like this is an
off the air conversation. We're having an on the air
conversation that should be off the air. I feel like
this is an off the air conversation. We're doing this
on the air. Would you like to recommend wish laptop
to buy?
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Would you want me to? You know, let me try.
Speaker 7 (28:04):
No, I know, Hey, but your Rams sucked the other
day though.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
Ben ah see, that's that's a preview take of Blair's podcast.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
That's gonna be a take on this podcast.
Speaker 7 (28:13):
Yeah, I know the Rams played terrible. I heard they
were trying to get me to talk about that on
the Big Jab. Yeah, we're like, oh, come on, let's
talk about the Rams. I thought you were a Rams fan.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
No, no, you move, but you moved to Maine, so
you're a Patriots fan. Now you're not in La anymore.
Speaker 7 (28:30):
No, no, no, I don't want to talk about the Patriots.
They sucked. They're totally they're franchise. Let me tell you this, Ben,
I'll get into the Patriots. I'll deep time the Patriots
right now. The Patriots the next few years. They got
no coaching stuff. They can do nothing. The players, they're
so so. The quarterback.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
All right, you're doing two sports. I can't do anything
of this. All right, I gotta go. You've been You've
been on the the whole even five minutes. Been on
a long time. I gotta go.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Thank you, Hey, go back to bed. Let's say hello
to any meenie money Moe. Let's say a looad to
Mitch in Mankato. Hello, Mitch. What's going on?
Speaker 2 (29:09):
Mitch?
Speaker 8 (29:11):
I'm doing all right?
Speaker 3 (29:13):
How about yourself?
Speaker 2 (29:15):
My favorite part? You know, Mitch. If I was any better,
i'd be sleepy, but I'm not.
Speaker 8 (29:19):

a couple of weeks ago, I was fresh out of jail.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Oh, congratulations, Now you've you've avoided You've avoided going back
to jail.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
So that's good. Right, you haven't gone back there. Do
you miss the food?
Speaker 5 (29:35):
You do?
Speaker 1 (29:35):
Really had good food in jail. Well, yeah, you know,
can't beat the price.
Speaker 8 (29:41):
Can consider absolutely can't beat the price, can't beat the service.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
Yeah, now do you need. If you want extra food.
If you say I want another serving where they give you.
Speaker 9 (29:49):
Extra food, well to trade for it.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Oh you had to trade for it. I don't. I
can only imagine what you traded for extra food. I
don't want to know.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
Oh, nothing's fancy stale tip.
Speaker 6 (30:01):
Yeah, is that what they call it in there.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
Those prison movies? I don't know.
Speaker 8 (30:11):
Yeah, I got something for you.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Man.
Speaker 8 (30:15):
You were talking about baseball team movie.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
Well, yeah, the mayor elect in Portland, Oregon thinks they
got a chance to get a baseball team.
Speaker 8 (30:27):
Well I kind of lost track when I heard vibrating
and you know, doc trap. But anyways, what about the
South side of Chicago.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
Don't they need a team?
Speaker 1 (30:36):
Oh see, you're doing jokes. Lame jokes are on Friday,
not today. You're doing what you're doing the lame jokes.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
So you're doing.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Yeah, they had a team and in a while, I
think they should put a team back in Montreal, just
because the players like going to the strip clubs.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
In Montreal and look, let's look out for baseball players.
They love.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
That used to be the favorite trip. And when you
go it used to be Western teams or Midwestern teams.
You go to Philadelphia and New York and Montreal, and
they always had problem. They always had problems in Montreal
because of the the ballet there distracted the guys.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
So it wasn't Canada. Weren't they thinking about doing something
like that again? Not that long ago.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
It was a while ago.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
I used to get emails from a guy that played
for the Expos named Warren Cramarty, who was part of
a group to try to bring the Expos back to Montreal.
They had a design. He sent me some propaganda. They
had a ballpark in downtown Montreal, outdoor ballpark, beautiful with
the skyline.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
Of Montreal right behind it.
Speaker 9 (31:33):
All.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
They had the design all ready to go. They supposedly
had some money people, so it's possible. There's I don't
know if there's enough corporate money. A lot of it's
based on corporate money. These teams, you have to have
certain big corporations willing to bankroll sponsorships and whatnot for
the team that Yeah, Hey, I went doing.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
The Montreal game, you know, because they played the Twins,
you know, but I wouldn't be allowed in the country.

what's going on there, Johnny?
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Do you got man?
Speaker 9 (33:00):
You guys talking about the expos I remember when I
was a kid, we used to get baseball Pats get
the expo stickers or the expo carts, and they were garbage.
Now the team's gone, Man, we miss them. I missed
that logo, I missed the jerseys. I missed everything about it.
I do wish they'd that they'd put another team bats
over there.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
Nostalgia, you missed the nostalgia.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
And the greatest hat were the great hats, that three
pronged hat with the red, white and.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
Blue, the Montreal Expos, the whole school hat. Loved it.
Speaker 9 (33:27):
Yeah, I looked good in those colors too, man, I
miss it. I'm a I'm a Raiders and Ace fan.
I grew up in Oakland, and you know, our teams
are are leaving, and uh, that's kind of a different
story for me. I was glad that they were going
out of state because, you know, growing up in that
environment and going to those games man trash, you know,
(33:49):
horse horse trolley, urinals and literal rats and water everywhere.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
There are actually rats everywhere. You know, there the rats story.
Every stadium has rats. Dodger Stadium has rats. You know,
everywhere you go there's rats.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
There's more, there's more in certain cities.
Speaker 9 (34:07):
But yeah, well I think it was a Legion Stadium
when I was young that uh, that stadium is the
low sea level. So when the sea level rises, the
stadium actually floods and the rats come out like none other.
It's insane.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
Well, it's a survival. They're trying to survive.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
You're upset. They're trying to survive. They don't want to die.
The rats are trying to live. They want to live
the rats.
Speaker 9 (34:30):
So all all I want is the Raiders to do good.
I think that they're going to be able to do
that in Vegas. And the only way the A's are
going to do good is if they get a little
bit more money behind them, and that's that's it'd be nice.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
If they got a new owner, that would be also nice.
Speaker 9 (34:46):
But they get it, that would be great.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
Yeah, all right, I thank you to be safe out there, Johnny.
