Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. We're in our number three. You already
knew that, so our three. A college football theme malor
monologue to kick off our three, Rick Bettino says that
college football should just break away, to separate a separate
entity away from all the other college sports and allow

(00:21):
the rest of college sports to compete regionally. What are
the chances that Rick Betino's playing actually happens? And what
is the big stumbling block to keep college football from
becoming an island sport? And how are things looking for
what used to be the Pac twelve, which just had

(00:41):
its last supper. We'll talk about that and much more
right now here. It is our number three. Can it
be saved? Should it be saved? Is a better question?
Wel come in the beginning of Enough the Hour of
the Benmlor Show, we are in the air everywhere a

(01:56):
the Way tire Buying, shoot d me and our lead
this hour coming from the story of stories, the demise
of conferences, in particularly the PAC twelve conference, which is
right now getting its last rights. It's about to have

(02:18):
its last supper this season. A lot of twisting and
turning going on. It only continued. We were away from
our watch tower as the guardians of the late night
here for a couple of nights. We were not behind
these microphones. And the story continues to bubble up involving
what's going on with college football. The domination situation in

(02:40):
college football is it's all about that. The PAC twelve,
just about that, not quite still a little bit of
a pulse, not much of a pulse. And so you
have when all this is done, you're essentially going to
have just the Southeastern Conference and the Big Ten and
that's it, and everyone else will be fighting for the
acc The Big Twelve will be a little bit lowered

(03:04):
down from the Power two instead of the Power five.
It's gonna be the Power two. And then after that
the Pac twelve will be downgraded, as we said in
a previous episode of the show to Penny stock status,
they will be down with the sun belt by the
time all this gets shaken down. So good luck on
that and wow. So with that being said, a Hall

(03:28):
of Fame basketball cos not football coach, a basketball coach
has entered into the chat. Rick Betino has chimed in
a man who has had a few scandals in his day.
But it listen, always a good sound bite, Rick Patino,
and for our purposes, that's all we care about. So
Hall of Fame basketball coach Rick Patino hanging out at

(03:49):
Saint John's, he said, Johnny there.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
In New York.

Speaker 1 (03:53):
Rick Battino gave his vision his take on the realignment
of conferences. He said this recently, and I wanted to
break it uf you didn't see it. I think it's
an interesting take worthy of some conversation. So that's what
we're gonna do here, We do conversation. So what did
Patino say? I'll tell you. He popped on social media

(04:15):
and Patino pose the question quote, doesn't it make more
sense for football to break away to separate leagues and
allow the rest of the sports to compete regionally? Rivalries
remain in minor sports. Don't spend half their day looking
for bad food at airport restaurants. Okay, Patino not a

(04:41):
fan of fooded airports. Check most people aren't. Although I
will tell you I traveled some this year. The airport
food is not as bad as it used to be.
Not that it's great, but are you really going to
get a five course meal sitting at JFK or O'Hare
or LAXI come on, but it is a so let
us discuss Rick Bettino. I just regular quote. Rick Patino

(05:05):
says college football should break away into a separate operation,
separate entity, and allow the rest of college sports to
compete regionally. What are the chances that Rick Bettino's plan
comes to fruition? How about slim and none? Slim and none,

(05:26):
And as the old line goes, slim is at the
airport waiting on standby to get on the flight and
leave town. Slim and none. I've got puffy sticker, caterpillar
and high speed ceiling fan and we will combine all
of those things together and we are going to make
a broken down jelopy, which is what the PAC twelve

(05:48):
happens to be at this point, a broken down jalopy. So,
first of all, Rick Patino is doing something that is
not allowed here. He's using common sense. And while I
think there is no chance that this is going to happen,
it sounds like a concession speech to me. It's actually

(06:08):
makes a lot of sense logistically, it makes all the
sense in the world. Patino knows also, and I say
it's a concession speech because Patino knows his place in
the food chain. He's aware he's a big time college
basketball coach, but he realizes that college basketball, while it
is second to men's men's college basketball, is second to

(06:29):
the football world in terms of revenue for college sports.
But it's still been downgraded. It's been downgraded. It's relevant
for most people the rank and file. It's relevant for
most people since after the Super Bowl ends mid February.
Super Bowl's not in mid February, and then the last
couple weeks of February, and then we've got March. But

(06:53):
remember the brackettology and all that bracket stuff is big.
And then once your bracket's bust, which is normally the
first or the second day of the tournament. Then your
level of interest gets turned down. So it's really the
lead up to the first couple days of March madness,
and then after that not so much. But that said,

(07:14):
brick Patino, I'm gonna give him a puffy sticker and
a little extra recess pass there. He gets a little
extra recess there, gets that as well, because that's a
good job by him. You have college football, which is
the money maker, That's the sugar daddy, college football. So
why is everyone else being dragged out to sea, to

(07:37):
the open sea? Because college football all these other sports
are collateral damage. And that's now the second part of this,
and I will explain what I have heard over the
years as to why this type of plan has zero chance,
zero chance of working, the Patino plan of having football

(07:58):
break away. So the question is what is the big
stumbling block. We'll frame it like this, what is the
big stumbling block from separation? Just having football be one
thing and then have that be an island sport where
it's on an island, it is anyway, it's on a pedestal,
and then everything else is the way it's always been,

(08:18):
and things don't get turned topsy turvy upside down and
all that. Well, here's what it is. It's like watching
the metamorphosis of a caterpillar. Now you take a caterpillar
and you think the people running college sports think that
caterpillar is going to turn into a beautiful butterfly with
all these different colors on, it's gonna fly away. Wait,

(08:40):
that goes to the butterfly. The stewards of college sports,
the people in charge right now at these big institutions
of honor learning, which are just money making machines at
this point. But anyway, the people in charge of college
sports look around. They are convinced that caterpillar is going
to be a magical butterfly. As I said, the reality is,

(09:02):
though not all caterpillars turn out to be butterflies. Some
of them become maws and they fly into a flame
and burn up. And so you're not guaranteed of getting
a beautiful butterfly. You could get an ugly moth that
flies into a fire and burns up, burn, baby, burn, right,
I mean that's the reality. And so the way it's

(09:24):
looking right now, that's where we're headed. It's not a mall,
it's not a butterfly's a moth is what it's gonna be.
And being completely impartial, my middle name is objective. That's
my middle name, mister objective, Ben objective mallet, that's my
middle name unless it's not. But Rick Patino's plan is pragmatical. However,

(09:45):
it will not be given a shot, and the main
reason it won't be giving a shot is politics and
also money. The reality it's kind of like the way
I look at this, like it's selling razor blades, you know,
how the whole razor blade market and all that. The
business model, it's a lost leader. Not the razor blades themselves,
that's where they make their money. But the razors like

(10:05):
Gillette and a lot of the big razor companies will
basically give away the razor because they know in order
for the razor to work, you gotta change the razor blades,
and that's where they make their money. It's the same
concept of the printers, and those really the printers aren't

(10:26):
usually that expensive. It's the ink because they know you
are beholden to buy ink cartridges for the rest of time.
Otherwise the printer's not gonna work. So they'll give you
the printer for cheap. So then let me explain what
I mean by this, because in the sporting world, TV
deals are broken in a similar way where they'll give

(10:47):
you volleyball, they'll give you soccer, they'll give you softball,
they'll give you wrestling, gymnastics, but you gotta pay for
the foot ball. And the TV companies are willing to
do it because there's so much revenue be made and

(11:07):
all the other sports people don't like to hear this,
they don't like to hear the truth. But there is
no substantial viewership for the secondary sports outside of basketball,
and that doesn't even do as well as it used
to do, and men's football, everything else, track and field.
And I'm not saying those aren't talented athletes and don't
deserve to have their chance to compete, but in terms

(11:28):
of the marketplace of television, there is no audience. And
so it's like the NBA the NBA. In order to
broadcast the NBA, you have to put the WNBA on.
Nobody watches the WNBA, haven't It's been over twenty plus years,
no one's watched it. They get no ratings, but yet
they get broadcast television because it's part of the NBA package.

(11:49):
So it's the same concept here. And if you just
had those other secondary sports by themselves, they would get
foam packing peanuts to watch. Not even that maybe they
would even the foam packing peanuts would look the other way.
So you make your dough on football, and football subsidizes
everything else, and a little bit of basketball, a little

(12:09):
bit of basketball. Final thought. So let's now turn our
weaponry to the rotting carcass of the once mighty Pacific twelve,
the Pac twelve conference. And how are things looking here?
How are things looking for what used to be the
Pac twelve, which is about done at this point. So yeah, yeah,

(12:33):
they're going about as well as a guy that has
been hit with a baseball bat shot in the leg
and had a ton of bricks dropped on his back.
About as well as that guy, right, I mean, may
think about like, it's like a hot day, and the
Pack twelve is like, I need to cool down. It's

(12:54):
a hot day, and there's this high speed ceiling fan
on the wall, so I'm to put my head as
it is buzzing at top speed into the fan to
see what happens, just to see what happens, what could
possibly go wrong? So right at this point, it's going
to be the Pack four. Of course we know it

(13:15):
won't be the Pack four. It'll go away. We'd love
to know where Larry Scott is right now. That's why
playing tennis somewhere. Maybe he's moved on from tennis and
he's he's playing pickleball. But either way, the man that
was there for ten years and oversaw the lethargic period
in PAC twelve history which eventually led to this point.

(13:36):
And for every action there is a reaction and all that.
So we don't need to get in that here. But
I would like to give advice, my advice, unsolicited advice
to save the PAC twelve. And I was chatting with
a few people over the weekend. The consensus I heard
is the PAC twelve brand is strong enough even at
this hour of peril, where the brand will continue, although

(13:59):
it won't be the PAC twelve. It'll they'll call it
the PAC twelve. But right now you've got four teams,
but maybe only two, right, maybe only two because the
big if you look at the picture out in the
big ten, I believe ultimately they get cal and Stanford
and callan Stanford would be idiots not to go because
they want to get the Big ten, wants to have

(14:19):
the entire media centers of the of the country covered. Now,
they would have everything of the top six media markets
outside of the Dallas market, they would have everything else covered.
Everything else would be covered based on the teams they
have in the cities that now. Of course, we know

(14:40):
the Rutgers as we've talked about, not a lot of
Rutgers fans in New York City, but they count that
as the New York market, Northwestern and whatnot. In the
in the Chicago market LA with SC and UCLA, they'd
be in pretty good shape. But if they can get
Stanford and Cal they would be like, hey, we got
the Bay area, so we're covering that. But to answer
the question of saving the PAC twelve, so here's what

(15:02):
you do. You've got to go on the offensive. You've
obviously even one of defensive. You have no teams outside
of hiring high school teams to be in the Big
PAC twelve conference, good luck. So enter the marketplace. You've
got to co mingle with the Mountain West, and that
would include if you have Stanford and col and they
stay You've got Washington State and Oregon State, so those

(15:26):
are the four leftover teams. But then you'd have to
add UNLV. That gets you the Vegas market, which is cool.
UNLV football has been terrible ever since Randall Cunningham left.
But you toss UNOV out there, you got Nevada, so
you got the two Nevada schools, the big schools air Force.
That gets you the Denver Colorado And no they're not

(15:48):
in Denver, but they for TV purposes, they would count that. Also,
Colorado State would get you that region, not that they're
dying to get in that REGI in San Diego State. Also,
it's just southern California, Fresno State. I don't know what
Fresno gets you, but Eddie'd be happy. Boise State. And
how about Hawaii, just so you can say we get
to go to Hawaii every other year and play football.

(16:11):
It's a piecemeal, watered down PAC twelve. But at least
you're avoid you're avoiding becoming blockbuster video. You're not the BlackBerry,
You're not that right, You're avoiding all that. It is
the Ben Malor Show. If you'd like to be Part eight,

It's a or the answer to it the way we go.
So we'll go to baseball for the Mallor Riddle of
the day. And here it is a New York Yankees
relief pitcher Kon Middleton said a rookie pitcher would regularly

(17:19):
blank in the bullpen during games when he was with
the White Sox. Again, New York Yankee relief pitcher Keon
Middleton said a rookie relief pitcher would regularly blank in
the bullpen during games. That is the Mallard Riddle of
the day. The answer, We'll get to it and we'll
do it next.

Instead of ice Line coming up later in the hour. Time.
Now for the Mallor Riddle of the day, and here
it is. Yankees relief pitcher Keon Middleton said, a rookie
on his old team, the White Sox, would regularly blank
in the bullpen during games. During games, that is the
Mallard Riddle of the day. Let's see does anyone know

(18:43):
the answer. We'll go page down, eat gummy bears. Guess
by Fudgie in Boston. Plank guess by the clam page down.
Ferg Katz has used the bullpen phone to call those
How sweet is that?

Speaker 4 (19:02):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (19:02):
Page down? Miguel on Fire says would regularly do teammates
taxes during games. Asher says, reenact toy story scenes. These
are some good answers. Justin in the enchanted for us
says the White Sox relief pitcher would watch Liar Liar

(19:22):
while doing something else. There there you go. Okay, interesting
interesting choice of words there. Who else do we have
page down? Drink a six pack of beer? Says Ozzy
was was from Western Australia. Ozzy was? Are you referring
to the Great Red Sox Chicken and fried Chicken and
beer scandal from years ago? And video games? Eke in Roso,

(19:44):
Minnesota says do crossword puzzles? Is the answer? Rite poetry
from Calligan. Tim in Michigan Kyle says, listen to Marcel
and Poppy on YouTube. Yeah, you got Marcel Marcel in
the morning and then all also Poppy giving you bad picks.
Nick and Wisconsin says they would watch adult videos on

(20:06):
his phone, and Splenda says would watch the WNBA with Andre.
Who else do we have page down? Trucker. Joe says
Duke cocaine with Josh Hamilton in the dugout Wow okay
uh Sean and Portland says he pooped his pants. Kenneth
the sports Lama says that the White Sox pitcher used

(20:29):
shake weights. That that was his answer. Who else do
we have? Page? And I think that's enough, Eddie. You
have an answer, Eddie.

Speaker 2 (20:36):
Oh, yes, he worked on his cornhole game.

Speaker 1 (20:39):
Cornhole game always important there and the bullpen's perfect for
cornwall because you can put the board on the mound
and then you can stand at the plate and then
where the plate would be bow. That's incorrect though, unfortunately,
and he does not cornhole. The correct answer the Chicago
White Sux picture again the malar riddle of the day
for those that missed it. He's on the Yankees now.
Keyon Middleton said a rookie relief pitcher would regularly blank

(21:01):
in the bullpen during games. The answer is sleep. The
guy would sleep in the bullpen while the game was
going on. Now, to be fair, White Sox fans usually
are sleeping while the game's going on because the White
Socks are so boring. But anyway, uh yeah.

Speaker 2 (21:19):
Didn't Trevor Hoffman used to take a nap.

Speaker 1 (21:21):
Oh no, the worst ever. When I covered the Angels,
they had a guy named Lee Smith, Big old Lee Smith,
and Lee would sleep for the first five innings of
the game. He would wake up around the fifth or
the sixth inning, and he had his whole routine like
he had coffee and he tried to wake himself up and.

Speaker 2 (21:37):
There would take a shower.

Speaker 1 (21:39):
Did he shower?

Speaker 2 (21:39):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (21:40):
Yeah. Lee was the worst because Lee would take half
an hour to get in out of the out of
the walk. He'd walk to the bullpen, would take forever
to walk out. You know what, she would have been
fined in today's game for the delay of game and
all that they would have to bring the bullpen cart back.
But yeah, so anyway, that is the deal. This guy
absolutely MF this Kon middle An absolutely just mf the

(22:02):
White Sox. He said they have no rules. He said,
everyone's just doing whatever they want. People are showing up
late to meetings, Rookies are sleeping during games in the bullpen.
You have guys missing pitching fielding practice. There are no
consequences for any of this stuff. Okay, how do you
really feel? How do you really feel.

The reason for that being is I was just made
aware of it during this show because of you know,

(28:48):
escape is the hard narcotics. Interstate route does not have
much scenery and Clampson the air touch did he punch
him Ohio State player one time?

Speaker 6 (28:57):
They suck uh?

Speaker 4 (28:58):
Or maybe it could be that way around.

Speaker 1 (28:59):
I think, yeah, think.

Speaker 4 (29:02):
What I Pikachu was a drug addict? Vote the catchphrase
beat then it'd be tweak a teak, y'all talk about
pizzazure earlier. There was no last rafter that joke. Dude.
That's I was huming the microphones must went out because
that was that was but that drop was that drought
was too well time, dude, Let's let's let's hit again.
Go into it now tell you dude. I was like,

(29:22):
what can to the laughter?

Speaker 1 (29:23):
Man?

Speaker 4 (29:23):
And like, is it still got in carbonation left? Always
do it my jokes? Yeah, oh man, I would have
the silence thick there. Let me know that you trust
me on the wheel.

Speaker 1 (29:32):
There's Jed again, Jed, Jed.

Speaker 4 (29:34):
Just for the record, how many here goes complaining? Did technique?
But let us go on?

Speaker 2 (29:39):
All right?

Speaker 1 (29:40):
So Jet, how many times have I interrupted you and
then you said, you're you're you're stealing the time. It's
my time, you know, and.

Speaker 4 (29:46):
You're not being every single phone call we've had together,
you've interrupted me because you have to cut me off
to get to your show at the.

Speaker 3 (29:51):
End of it.

Speaker 1 (29:51):
Dude, So what yeah, but again, but Jed, listen, you
do about a twenty minute monologue in ninety second. You'd
admit that you do a twenty minute monologue in a
ninety second call.

Speaker 4 (30:01):
You're you're undershelling my talent. I can do it in
half that time, no doubt about it. Out about it.
If there is a concerned effort to get all things
angel right now, and it's the angel Otani, it's the
guiding Angel's umpire, it's the angels in the outfield. They
don't they don't believe him, and I paid the Cortigators
and the hurricanes and Lucifer are teaming up together. There's
no doubt about that. Lucifer is buying hurricanes and iiO bill.

Speaker 1 (30:24):
Okay, thank you, oh, thank Lucifer.

Speaker 4 (30:27):
They're going hill got I'll let you.

Speaker 1 (30:29):
Think think, Hey, what are you doing on August twenty six?
You got any plans on August twenty six? No, no plans, nothing,
all right? Uh so that is supposed to be the day.
I don't think this is going to happen on August
twenty six. But Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk, the social

(30:49):
media donny Brook, and they're supposed to fight each other
MMA style. Elon Musk has been bragging about lifting weights
preparing for the fight, and Mark Zuckerberg says he's already
ready to go and he wants the date. They don't
have a date yet. August twenty six. That makes sense.
You want to do this thing before football season really

(31:11):
gets going, and so the Octagon in Vegas is apparently
where it's going to happen. And of course, all for charity.
How about you just do it for free? How about that?
I just do it for free. You're all gazillion bazillionaires
and all that. Just do it for free. How about that?
But August twenty six is the date, which is not

(31:32):
that far away. I'm glad they didn't do it in
the nineteenth because that's the next Mallor meet and greet
at Andy the Comic Book Guy shop in southern California.
If you're geographically in the area and you want to
hang out with us, We're gonna hang out with the listeners,
have a great time. Eddie's going to be at this one,
and Cooper Loop will be there as well. He's scheduled
to attend, and so we're gonna have a Mallard meet

(31:52):
and greet a couple hours on a Saturday. That's August nineteenth.
More information, I'll put that up. I gotta get that
on my social media pages to get people time so
they can nowhere to go and all that. But that's
with our buddy Andy, the comic book guy, the install
advice line that is currently warming up in the bullpen
right now. This portion of the show brought to you

my head here the PAC twelve. Didn't we do that
last week? I feel like we did that. I don't

(32:33):
know it was our topic last week. I feel like
it was the PAC twelve. Maybe it wasn't the PAC twelve,
but the PAC twelve. We could do advice for that
or the angels who are falling apart. So one of
those two will be the topic on the instad advice line.
I want to flip a coin. I have a coin,
Benny versus the penny. Will flip it up and we
will have that. We'll get to it. We will do
it next.
