Speaker 1 (00:00):
Playball. It's our number three, our number three talking bass ball.
The World Series resumes tonight on Fox. It'll be Game
three of the Fall Classic. Where are you at? On
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts complaining about the World Series travel
from Toronto to la Also, Dave Roberts said that he

(00:24):
doesn't think slugger Shohil Tony heard Toronto fans taunting him
over the weekend. What say you on that end? We
are at a fork in the road with this Bryce
Harper story. Which direction does the Bryce Harper story go?
In Philly? As comments over the weekend, saying he's unhappy

(00:45):
with Dave Dombrowski the GM there in Philadelphia. We'll get
to all that and more right now here. It is
our number three, known as the Big Blue wrecking Crew
when things go well, but not necessarily when the traveling
A real SOB story, Oh what a SOB story from
the World Series. Welcome in the beginning of another hour

(01:09):
of The Ben Maler Show. We are in the air
everywhar's we crowd around the magic audio device coast stuck
coast border to border in beyond, as we are where
value is always in season. From the immensely powerful microphones

(01:30):
of fsre emmnating live from the banquet. It's Benny's Babbel
banquet from the world famous Fox Sports Radio studios, as
approved by Snooker from North Lawspaks. Now I don't heard
him Snuocker in a while. He called up. We met
him at the mallor meet and greet and his lovely
wife their penny, and they hung out with us. And

(01:51):
then he called for a few times and they could
not handle the rigors of calling overnight talk radio. This
portion of the Ben Maler Show on Fox midpot small
part by our friends at tire rack That's Right. For
over forty years, tyre Iraq has been helping customers find
the right tires for how, what and where they drive,
ship fast and free back by free road hazard Protection,

(02:12):
which Al in Minnesota likes a lot there and also
our friend Femi big fan of that as well, with
convenient installation options like mobile tire installation tire iraq dot
com the way tire byner should be. We'll get back
to the NFL in a moment. I did want to
talk some baseball. The World Series took place over the weekend.
We did an emergency Malord monologue on the Fifth Hour

(02:32):
podcast on the early morning hours of Sunday to recap
the first two games of the World Series. So I'm
not going to bore you with that, but our lead
is from Chavez Ravine. Chavez Ravine there, and the scene
shifting back to the West Coast, the Pacific Coast, the
Pacific Ocean there and Dodgers and Blue Jays getting ready

(02:56):
to play another game here. World Series tied one, all
one all game three tonight it's on Fox. You better
watch as the Blue Jays sending the ancient pitcher Max
Scherzer and his crazy eyes to the mound. A former
Dodger starts for Toronto against Tyler Glass, now of the Dawyers,

(03:19):
who will get the call there for La. The story
here on the off day of the World Series. The
story was about travel. Say what, Yeah, it's all about travel.
So if you didn't see this or hear about it,
so amazingly, the Dodgers had to travel from Toronto to
La as the Blue Jays did. Apparently the Dodgers traveled
by stagecoach when they got some kind of flu on

(03:43):
the way, unless they didn't, I bring this up. If
you didn't see it, Dave Roberts. Yes, that Dave Roberts.
He's at it again. He was delayed. He arrived late
to the Dodgers' workout on Sunday. The Dodger work out
out was scheduled late afternoon. Roberts showed up at about

(04:04):
five o'clock. He was a little late from where he
was supposed to be, and then he explained the rigors
of travel with a Major League Baseball team during the
World Series. Let's go to the audio tape.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
My connecting flight was delayed.

Speaker 3 (04:18):
Do you have a travel story for us as well?

Speaker 4 (04:23):
You know, I don't want to get too far into
I just arrived about thirty minutes ago, so there were
some delays. I don't know if there was intent or not,
but it just man. The international stuff was a bear,
but we made it. We made it, all right.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
It was a bear, but we made it. We made it.
It seemed like he was implying that the people at
TSA who are not getting paid right now because the
government shut down, that they pulled some shenanigans. Now does
he talk about the Canadian people? Is that what he's
thought about?

Speaker 3 (04:56):
Thing?

Speaker 1 (04:56):
This is some kind of like Canadian intrusion into the
World World Series that they're meddling with Dave Roberts, so Toronto,
we know they left following the game on Saturday night
at the ballpark formerly known as SkyDome. They arrived at
their hotel, a very bougeye hotel in downtown la at
about four in the morning. About four in the morning.

(05:19):
But there's Roberts grumbling, and that's a good jumping off point,
so let us discuss the question where are you at
on Dodgers manager Dave Roberts complaining about the World Series
travel and implying that there was some kind of funny
business going on when he went through customs, which is
pretty much done all on computer kiosk these days when

(05:40):
you go from Canada to the US and vice versa.
So my views on this, I've got charcuterie, board, Beethoven,
and Cindy Lapper that's an old musician from back in
the day. We'll combine all of these things together and
we're going to put the biscuit in the basket with
a side of babaganoosh. The biscuit in the basket with
a side of babaganosh. First of all, Dave Roberts on

(06:02):
this one card shark, Dave Roberts card shark, and he
shuffling the deck. He's the card shark and he's playing
the international travel card from the bottom of the deck.
Unless Dave Roberts flew commercial which were relatively confident he
did not do. This is a bull crap story by

(06:23):
Dave Roberts. Crime me a river, Crime me a river?
Can you say tone deaf without saying tone deaf? Dave
Roberts like the entire country people that travel on the regular,
and I don't travel that much, but I've heard horror
stories from some of you guys that are on the
road all the time. The TSA nightmares are the stuff

(06:44):
of legends. Federal shutdowns going on right now and dragging
on and on. We're closing it on a month one month.
And people are literally sleeping at some of these airports
when they've been short staffed. They've been sleeping at the
airport because flights are canceled and delayed and the whole thing.

(07:05):
And so people are sleeping in airports. And Dave Roberts
and the Dodgers when they fly, they're flying like they're
the royal family. And Dave Roberts's complaining about that. We're
talking about the Dodgers are so bogie? How bougie are they?
Most professional sports teams travel in one plane. Why would
you need more than that one plane. You put all

(07:27):
the luggage, all the equipment, you put the players in there,
you put the support staff in their one plane. The
Dodgers are sunch a holes. They need two planes when
they travel. They've got gourmet food, obviously, high speed Wi Fi.
They've got the bougie seats on the plane. They've got
all that. And I'm guessing, although I haven't been on it,
I was on it years ago and it was a

(07:48):
normal situation. I'm assuming when the Dodgers get on the
plane they're greeted by a stewardess that has a charcuterie
board with all these delicious cheeses and meat right there,
and Roberts acting like they're rowing a canoe across Lake
Ontario to get out of out of Toronto, and then
they've got they've got to catch an uber, and then

(08:10):
they have to hitch hike a couple of states and
then eventually get back to la and it's like, come on, right,
international stuff. A bear that was the quote from Dave
Roberts right spoiler, you're not at gate CE thirty seven, Dave,
You're not out there at gate C thirty seven, Spirit Airlines,

(08:30):
middle seat waiting to get on middle seat. You're not
that guy. You're not that guy. Pal. It's classic bubble behavior,
if you will, It's a bubble behavior that the Dodgers
living in the blue bubble, the Blue bubble, call it
whatever you want. There insulated from the real world. What's
really going on out there in the real world. And

(08:51):
Dave Roberts complaining right before Game three of the World Series,
not the greatest look in the world's second and it's
not You're gonna lose the game Game three because Dave
Roberts complained about the travel. It's still not a great look,
supposed to set tone, even though you're just a figurehead
manager and the nerds are right now they've already got
the whole game mapped out. What's gonna happen on Monday

(09:11):
night at Dodger Stadium. They've got it all figured out.
But you whining about the the TSA situation. What seemingly
was what he was complaining about, although it did seem
also like he was throwing out some kind of Canadian intervention,
like the Canadian side was giving him our time now.
Secondary as for the games over the weekend, we had

(09:33):
mentioned this. If you saw it, there was some rhythmic
chanting and then there was also some just heckling that
caught my attention. From the games in Toronto, the Blue
Jay fans serenaded, serenaded Dodger star shohe Otani with we
don't need you, We don't need you. Those chants took

(09:56):
place during Game one and a little bit not as
much in Game two, but a little bit in game
to as well. So Dave Roberts again back into the chat,
Dave Roberts said, over the weekend, he's like, listen, he said,
I don't think Sho hal Tani heard the Toronto fans
chanting we don't need you? What say you? All right, son,

(10:17):
I'm gonna tackle this this way. This is a gift,
an absolute gift from the baseball gods and north of
the border, the Blue Jay fans chanting we don't need you.
That is a chef's kiss. I think he's hilarious. That
is the kind of petty, wonderful sports hate which I'm

(10:40):
in for like that helps this time of the year
feel extra special. Right, the World Series, every team, every
single team that could afford it or at least pretend
like they wanted to put a bit in. Outside of
the Angels, every other team valued shoe hal Tani. The

(11:00):
Blue Jays were right in the mix. He met with
the Blue Jays. That chant though, that chant, it is
like telling oxygen you don't need to Breathe was wonderful, right,
And they're salty. I get it. I understand why they're salty.
They didn't get the player. He went to the Dodgers
instead of going to Toronto. And that's the beauty of it.

(11:22):
And I'm I'm loving it. I'm like McDonald's i'm loving it.
Pure absolute bitterness disguised as bravado by the Blue Jay fans.
It's like the ex screaming I didn't like you anyway,
when you're walking away with the trophy wife and the
exit screaming at you and all that stuff. And then

(11:43):
you've got Dave Roberts who's like, oh, Tony didn't hear it,
So in what world? I know? The legend of Otani
is next level. He also had a garbage time home
running Game one of the World Series. But is he Beethoven?
Does he have a hearing aid from Costco Otani And
he's absolutely unable to hear it, and he just shuts

(12:04):
off the hearing aid from time to time. He heard it.
He know he speaks English, actually just has an interpreter
because you know, I want to put bets in. I'm
kidding unless I'm not man. Listen. The point is he
heard it. Everyone knows he heard it. You can't be
the most famous baseball player in the major leagues right
now and not here a stadium filled with good Canadian

(12:26):
lads and ladies. They're yelling at you. You heard it.
Everyone heard it. You know, if he had signed with
the Blue Jays too, they would have built a statue
made out of maple syrup and poutine for Shoho Tani.
So there you go. And what I'm excited about is tonight,
and I hope that the Dodger marching in Chowder society

(12:48):
does not let me down. I want over the top
heckling of one guy and one guy in particular. And
you know what to do, Dodger fans, those of you
that go into the World Series tonight, we're on the
Dodger flagship in La George Springer. How about a little
bang bang when spring is walking to home plate there
from his A one one thousand and two, one thousand

(13:09):
whole days, the A s trus give him the business.
The shame train is coming to town. George Springer rhythmic chance?
How about this dirty? How about that?

Speaker 4 (13:24):
No?

Speaker 1 (13:25):
All right, cheater? Fifty thousand people scream a cheap sounds good?
Well either way, George Springer is gonna hear it from
the Dodger fan base. They're gonna give him the business,
and it's only fair. I would expect nothing less. How

(13:45):
about this one? How about this? Hey, hey, ho ho, cheating?
George has to go. The whole thing boom done. And
if you look at it, Rob manfrod the Commissioner of Baseball,
he had the opportunity. We've talked about it. I don't
need to flog a dead horse. But Rob Manford let
him walk. Let George Springer walk. And he's out in Toronto.

(14:06):
So we don't talk about it very much, not as
much as Al Boobey and Alex Bregman. The other famous
judis Carlos Correa, who's back in the naughty town there
of Houston. But hey, listen, just a piece of metal
courder rob Manfred. He chose not to punch anybody, so
Branford shouldn't be upset with the Dodger fans start throwing
Raspberry's verbal raspberries at mister Springer. It's just part of

(14:30):
the game, all right, now, final thought, We go to
a developing story out of Philadelphia involving Bryce Harper. Some
new information over the weekend Philly starred Bryce Harper revealed
that he is quote hurt, hurt by trey speculation. This
after GM Dave Don Browski. He laid it out. He said, listen,

(14:53):
Bryce Harper is good. He's not e lite anymore. He
didn't play elite baseball this year. And Harper spilled his
guts a tragedy to the Athletic behind a paywall. He said, quote,
I have given my all to Philly from the start.
Now there is trade talk. I made every effort to
avoid this. It's all I heard in DC talking about

(15:13):
his time with the Washington Nationals. He said, I hated it.
It makes me feel uncomfortable. Close quote all right, question,
we are at the proverbial fork in the road, the
fork in the road with Bryce Harper? Which direction does
this Bryce Harper story go in Philly? So this is

(15:34):
what happens when money see money on money on one side,
and you've got the legacy and money and legacy to
get together, and it is just like that, just add
a little water and you've got an instant piping hot
soap opera. You do just a little water. And this
is not just some rumor off some social media account

(15:56):
that's kind of flimsy. No, no, no, this laid out in
the public square like a barbershop quartet. It has it's
planning out right. Now, You've got a guy like Dave Dombrowski, yappin' calculated.
It's calculated. Now. The initial story was, hey, he wants
to motivate Bryce Harper. Bryce got a lot of time left.

(16:18):
Now you look at it, is there something more nefarious
going on between Dave Dombrowski and the brass in Philadelphia.
Dombrowski's not twenty five. He's sixty nine years old. It
turned seventy next year. He's seen and done everything you
could possibly do in baseball. He's worked for just about
every team, been all over North America, working as an

(16:39):
executive in baseball. It's extra awkward considering that Bryce Harper
is like Minnie Mouse's friend, the Clara bel Cow. He's
like a cow. He's been branded with the Philly logo.
We mentioned this, He's got the Philly fanatic tattoo on
his body. And you don't trade a guy like that

(17:00):
who's got a no trade clause and a Phillies tattoo
on his on his skin unless there's an Act of Congress.
And the no trade clause alone is one thing. And
so what does all this mean? So if you do
the algebra on this Bryce Harper story, this is a money, money,
money play. It's a money play. It's the old Cindey

(17:24):
Opper song. She's sang it back in the day. Money
changes everything, and money can make this story go away.
Bryce Harper. Last season, there were rumors that Bryce Harper
was unhappy with his contract. It's all of a sudden
dated the moment they crossed the t's and dotted the
eyes on the Bryce Arper three hundred million dollar contract,

(17:45):
there were guys getting four hundred, five hundred, six hundred
seven hundred million dollars and so it's it's seen as
a contract that needs to be updated. Of course, Don
Browse's like, well, he's not elite anymore. He's good, but
not elite. So the plot thickens when you consider that
Bryce Harper, unless he demands a trade, he's not going

(18:07):
to be traded. And so he's going to outlast day
of Dombrowski in Philadelphia. And so that's not my opinion,
that is a fact. Dombrowski's almost seventy. Bryce Harper is
in his thirties. So you can do the math on that.
And Harper is the above the marquee face of the
Philadelphia Phillies. He's the statue guy down the line. And

(18:29):
you look at the math on this, and it's like
he would like to get some more money, gets a
little bit extra, little taste of some more money, and
all of a sudden, Bryce is like, well, I'm no
longer hurt anymore. We patched up our difference as we're
ready to go. And otherwise we're at the fork in
the road, right the checkpoint, and which direction is this
going to go? You've got turn right, turn right, And

(18:52):
Bryce Harper stays gets more money, as we said, and
is a happy camper, And this just becomes another chapter
in the Philadelphia love Fest with Ice Harber. Turn left
and we have a messy, messy, messy divorce that makes
the Phillies look like the bad guys. They're the bad guys,
and that genuinely does not go when you're out of

(19:13):
sorts in Philadelphia as a player, you don't turn that around.
The greatest example would be Ben Simmons, who's currently not
in the NBA and likely not play again in the NBA.

instead of the chiefs Coach, he accidentally messaged blank. That

(21:43):
is the question, What is the answer? Lady Sideburn says
Hannah Montana. Tara Reid guessed by Late Night drug tester.
I guess it's not her birthday, but he said, who
else do we have? His twin brother weed man hippie.
They do look alike the secret textoso line from Asher.

(22:05):
I'm sure Petros is happy about that. King Rory says, Uh,
the Berenstein bears a famous, famous book. Who else do
we have? Andrew Dice play from courtesy Flesher Paige Down
alf the Alien Opiner says he accidentally called air Bud,
who currently is in the joint interesting. Uh, Paige Down,

(22:28):
We'll skip over that again. Tara Reid guess by BP
Jojo Starbuck from Eke in Roseville, Minnesota. Andy Kaufman guessed
by Donkey Sausage Mad Jacks as former kicker and now
former restaurant owner Tony Zendeos. Yeah, so Zendejos close. Now,
mad Jack did say there's another venue that he's already

(22:50):
lined up for the so cow Malar meet beat. Apparently
that the restaurant which has been around for a like
Zendejos forever. He says, it's it's gone now, it's closed.
Douglas and Mississippi, says Terry Bradshaw accidentally text the Andy
Reid impersonator. Almost Andy Reid, friend of the show, Almost
Andy Reid, that's right, hollering James guests by Joe the
ghost Hunter in Ohio. Page down. Let's see here. The

(23:16):
Baltimore Media Free Food account got it right, obviously cheating
Stormy Daniels guest by Johnny Q. Who else? Heidi flies
from Bill that's his answer. I can't read that. On
the air, Eileen in San Francisco said something about Chilly
Davis there. All right, do you have an answer, Lorraine? Yeah,

(23:38):
I'm thinking he accidentally called his toxic X and stuff. Okay,
toxic X is that?

Speaker 4 (23:42):
Now?

Speaker 1 (23:43):
That's incorrect the correct answer, according to the NFL. On
Fox pregame show over the weekend, Terry Bradshaw says he
tried to text Chiefs coach Andy Reid. This week, however,
he accidentally messaged a guys selling pigs. A guy selling pigs. Now, Well, Terry,

(24:04):
when I knew him back in the day, Terry owned
a big ranch in Oklahoma. He had a he had
a ranch in Texas at one point, so he's like
a ranch guy had a place in Louisiana. He's moved
around a little bit, those those states moved around. Let's
go to the phones. Let's say hello to America's favorite
trash man, Danny de Vito, who's in the Boston area. Hello, Danny,

(24:26):
Welcome mister.

Speaker 2 (24:28):
Now, what's going on another week?

Speaker 1 (24:30):
Uh? Did you do okay this week?

Speaker 2 (24:32):
I did okay.

Speaker 3 (24:33):
I did bet a lot of se but I did
okay this week.

Speaker 1 (24:35):
You must you must have been you must have been
a lot of chalk this week.

Speaker 2 (24:39):
All the favorite to one al right, and again tonight
probably I sent them the Chiefs that went out tonight.

Speaker 1 (24:44):
Well, this is the since the merger in nineteen seventy,
the average margin is one game left. Here's a fun fact,
by the way, you ready for the fun factor. It
is the average margin scoring margin in the NFL. Here
in Week eight, the average game decided by eighteen point
three points per game. So flow Out City, you're fun

(25:06):
fact and if you go back to good Yeah, there's
only been a handful of weeks that have been worse
than this week.

Speaker 2 (25:12):
I think I heard that somebody said that was that
Neil I might have been in the last show there.
I think that they said that too. Uh, speaking of gambling,
Ben the scandal.

Speaker 1 (25:20):
There's other shows. There's other shows here really other than
our show.

Speaker 2 (25:23):
Yeah, I did show.

Speaker 1 (25:25):
I've never heard of them. Thought I thought we were
our own entity. I had no idea. I go, yes,
what about the big gambling scandal? I saw did I see?
Did I see properly that Antonio Gates name has been tied?
According to one report that he's.

Speaker 2 (25:41):
Him too, Antonio Gates. Well, Chauncey billups. Then I can't
believe these guys.

Speaker 3 (25:48):
I will do this.

Speaker 2 (25:49):
I mean, Chauncey Bills is playing dates. He made one
hundred and seventy five million dolls and he was making
five mil I believe as a coach, so a guy
his statue season that well more people.

Speaker 1 (26:04):
Well for sure, for sure, obviously. I mean the question
is who they who do they want to take down?
How far up the ladder. Do they want to go
Chauncey Phillips is a basketball legend, but there are supposedly
bigger names that were involved in this because these guys
all hang out together. So do they really want to
take down one of the top ten players in the
NBA or something like that.

Speaker 2 (26:24):
I'm saying no on that. You're not going to hear it, bar,
But I was told Lebron James too was mentioned in
that the biggest name of all.

Speaker 1 (26:31):
Well, that's you. That's your opinion, and you can You're
entitled to your opinion. I'm not saying I never said
Lebron was tied into it. And just for the record,
I want to go on the record right now that
I do not believe Lebron is ented. Coop. Do you
have you heard me about Lebron right, Coop? Nothing? Right? No,
not not a single word. Okay, No, it would be
wrong to accuse Lebron of.

Speaker 2 (26:52):
Such, not accusing anybody but his name. Matthew Brop. I
believe the poker thing.

Speaker 1 (26:57):
Now, the poker thing's bad, right, But the worst thing
is the prop bet fixing. That's that's a much bigger deal.
People are getting all worked up about the poker stuff.
I'm not rich enough to play at one of those
poker venues where they've they've beten this kind of money
these private events. That's a problem that for the integrity
of basketball. If the prop bet market is totally fed up,

(27:19):
that's a much bigger deal. That is a much bigger
deal in the post.

Speaker 2 (27:22):
Yes, yeah, I agree, they're gonna change those props right
to play at frosts. There's gonna be something going on then,
because you know they're gonna.

Speaker 1 (27:30):
Be you know, I don't know what. I don't know
what you can do. I don't know what you can
do other than not allow people to bet the unders.
And then that takes away an element of it. And
because it's easy to fix the under thing because you say,
I hurt my ankle back in the old days when
I was around basketball. I've told the story many times.
But they guys would fake a lower back injury because
there was no test on whether you were actually hurt

(27:52):
or not. You just pretend like you had a lower
back injury and that was that. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (27:57):
Yeah, well, Ben, it's gonna still gamble. It's gonna go along,
and it's going to go You're not going to hear
they're gonna squash this some saying you're not gonna hear
a lot of.

Speaker 1 (28:04):
Oh well, there's already talked. Well, they're already talked that,
as we predicted, not hard to predict it. Congress is
called Adam Silver to Capitol Hill. I think on Halloween
the end of this week, there'll be some hearings about
what has happened in basketball. So that's going to take place,
and they just the politicians are likely going to want
just a bunch of money from the gambling companies and

(28:24):
then they'll figure out a way to keep the gamler.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
Yeah, exactly, I'm fascinated by gambler is not is not
going nowhere?

Speaker 1 (28:31):
Ben, No, of course, I mean, And if they get
rid of it, it'll just go back to mob control,
and then the mob will end up winning. So what
do you do? All right? I gotta go, thank you?
All right. There's a great danny to be able to
say hello to Steve in Manhattan. It is the Ben
Matler Show. Hello Steve, O gobiu canty Gobu cannon, gobu canon,
Hello Steve singing my Saul.

Speaker 3 (28:53):
If Pete Rose had an interpreter, he'd be in the
hall of Fame. Then distinguished panel, expanding audience, welcome, Digi
or now, first, let me just clear this out. Whatever
happened to gritty American all American men cleaning out their
own brush. All you gotta do, listen, is get some
goats and some sheep, and you'll have chemical free, You'll

(29:16):
be fertilized, and you'll have the most beautiful along the block.
People will come over there and they'll be freaking stargazing.

Speaker 1 (29:23):
Steve, are there a lot of goats in your part
of Manhattan? Do you see a lot of goats over
there and walking the streets?

Speaker 3 (29:29):
Yes, there are Riverside Drive. Every summer they bring them there.
They put out the big area, they put a fence there,
and they let the goats go to town. They couldn't get
rid of the city was incapable of getting rid of
the shrub on the Riverside Drive. That's it. I think
the sheep take care of the grass, and the goats

(29:49):
take care of the shrub and the weeds and everything.
Just get a few of them for your house, now, listen.
Shoe is Joe and Pete Rose a boat band for life.
Now in this audience, who are over seventy years old.
I'm going to pose this question to you. I've done
it before, and I got thrown off the air for
doing it. Denny McLean was suspended in nineteen seventy, but

(30:11):
they brought him back. Why wasn't Denny mcleane's banned for
life like Shulison Pete? Now? Did he know too much?
I'm just going to leave that out there. And besides,
let me just tell the audience allegal gambling is bigger
in the US than legal gambling. Two big obvious reasons.
No income tax and you know you can get a

(30:32):
line of credit from the boys, you know, just make
sure you pay it back. You can't go up to
the winter.

Speaker 1 (30:36):
And you got a guy there, stadium bookie, neighborhood bookie.

Speaker 3 (30:42):
Let me tell you something. They used to have bookies
everywhere in New York City. You just name it. They
had a bookie there. That's all I'm gonna say. And listen, No,
Tany's boy was booking with It.

Speaker 1 (30:55):
Was Otani's guys. And he's in a jail in Pennsylvania.
That's where he's hanging out. He's in just outside about
one hundred miles outside Philadelphia. He's in a federal prison there.

Speaker 3 (31:08):
Right, anytime the big money involved, the big boys will
come in now that gambler. Remember the collectibles in the
nineteen eighties and Tops was throwing millions of cards out there.

Speaker 1 (31:17):
Oh no, the biggest, the big Yeah, it was Upper Deck.
There was a documentary about this. I watched a couple
of years ago, the Ken Griffy Junior Rookie card from
Upper Deck. They figured out how much money they could make,
so they just kept printing sheets of those cards, flooding
the market. And there were some other scandals like that too,
and they were flooding the market with they were authentic cards,

(31:38):
but they lowered the value of how much the cards
were worth. A scam.

Speaker 3 (31:42):
And some of the right and some of the goofy
Met fans were telling me, now, Greg Jeffries was we
were kids at the time, was a big big you
know name time.

Speaker 1 (31:52):
Oh yeah, yeah, well yeah, Greg Jefferies, the next great Mets.
But is he in the Mets Hall of Fame? Greg
Jefferies the week Can you check for me there, Steve,
If he's in the Mets Hall of Fame.

Speaker 3 (32:00):
I could verify he's not in the whole game. And
I gotta tell you something else to collect. The guys
who were selling the cards were pulling his cards out
of the packs and selling them to fin ol DT.
He's still in the minor leagues. But listen, that was
a crazy I always told guys, listen, just get the
rookie cards. The guys in the hall heay, just collect.
If you're going to collect, collect those cards. Now, listen, man.

(32:21):
Eventually Mike Trout and Bryce hawp are gonna play for
the Yankees, but they'll be like in their forties when
they get there. And listen, when it comes to football,
now we know. Listen for I'm gonna tell the Jet
fans Mike Singletary's mini me is not getting fired, okay,
because Woody Allen Johnson is a goofball. There's certain goofballs
in the NFL. You can't fight it. You know the owner,

(32:43):
But the the guy in Miami, he's a fake Mike McDaniel, Right,
how did these guys get hired? And that's why. If
you have a good team, now, listen, I really the
advice to own it. If you have a good team,
make sure you have good coaching. Because Josh Allen was
was with Sean McDermott. Shaan McDermott is a clown. He
made some clown comments where you should be coaching.

Speaker 1 (33:07):
We gotta leave. You're very long winded, Steve. You have
a lot to say and we must move on. But
