Speaker 1 (00:00):
Boom, shaka laka.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
As we keep plugging along. It is the Ben Mather Show.
But you knew that already. For old time's sake, I'm
supposed to tell you that, and on the pod in
this Thursday edition. In our three, we begin with the
Lions and a lot of chatter that the Lions are
on the prowl. If you were the Detroit Lions, would
(00:23):
you give up a first round pick in a trade
with the Bengals and all the money to pay Trey Hendrickson?
The Lions are the betting favorite to get Hendrickson from Cincinnati. Also,
how would you classify the Ravens giving Derrick Henry.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
The big bag? Oh what a big bag it is?
Speaker 2 (00:40):
And in baseball, was Ronald Acuno Junior forced to apologize
to the Braves manager?
Speaker 1 (00:46):
He did apologize. This week, we'll get to.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
All of that and more right now, and here we go.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
It's our number three. Never never a bad time for
a little horse trading.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Well gome In the beginning of another.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Hour of the Ben Mahlor Show.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
We are in the air aywhere in combination as we are,
the night's best kept secret because everyone's sleeping, everyone's sleeping.
Well you're not coast to coast, border, the border and
beyond on the vast and absurdly powerful microphones of fs
(01:31):
are amminating live from the house, the doghouse of the
broadcasting business, the Fox Sports Radio studios, as approved by
malor prop Guy and ostrich Ant.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
They both approve that message.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Yes, And Charlie the Royal Flush, Charlie the Dallas Dumper,
our friend Charlie there who called in last hour and
still getting a lot of feedback from Charlie's phone call there, Amaze, amazed.
All right, So our lead this hour is from the bag.
What's in the bag? It's an NFL grab bag with
(02:09):
an added bonus. So we'll get to the schedule later.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Why are you talking about the schedule? Eh?
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Yeah, am I supposed to pretend that I'm really excited
about I mean, I'll get to it.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
I'll rant about it. And there's some thoughts I have.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
There's one thing that I love about the schedule that
not a lot of other people like to talk about.
But it's my I'm a a sugar and so I
like to talk about that's my thing. We'll get to
that later, but we're gonna bounce around we'll grab bag
ash in. We'll get to the schedule later. First stop Cincinnati,
where the chili is not great and the sports teams
are blah. So things continue to bubble up. Bubble, bubble,
(02:48):
bubble around the disgruntled Bengals defensive stall word. If you
have not heard the latest, perhaps not here. The gambling
market has the Detroit Lions as the betting favorite to
land the number one available player on the trading market,
(03:12):
defensive end Trey Hendrickson, who is having a hissy fit.
He's had a conniption fit with the Cincinnati front office.
The team has not said they're going to trade Hendrickson.
They also have said they're not going to pay him now.
Detroit already has one of the top defensive impact players,
(03:32):
Aiden Hutchinson, has been a chef's kiss with the Lions,
and the addition if they can add another a level
defensive player to that front line. In theory, if you
look at your tablet, man, that would be pretty good.
Even the blind guys can look at their tablet and
say that's pretty good. So let us discuss the question
(03:54):
if you were the Lions. If you were the Lions,
would you give up a first round pick in a
trade with the Bengals and have to pay the man
to get Trey Hendrickson. So if you were the Lions,
you make the call? Do you make the calls things
are falling around here? Would you give up a first
round pick in a trade with the Bengals and the
(04:17):
money to pay Trey Hendrickson? So my views on this,
I've got state Fair, Contest, Kenny Rogers, and Browbeaten and
we will combine all of these things together and we
are going to put together.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
A barbed tongue is what we're going to put together.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
So first of all, like this is rather simple. Does
a fish go to the bathroom and water? Yes, it's obvious.
It's child's play.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
It's not even up for debate.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
If you're the Lions and you have an opportunity to
get the player, you do it right now. For the
first time in my lifetime, I'm not a Lion, San,
but the first time in my lifetime, the Lions are
having dinner at the big Boy of contenders in the NFC.
And it's been that way for the last couple of years.
Detroit success though, it's like snow.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
You just have to wait. It's gonna Melt.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
At some point the snow is going to Melt and
Dan Campbell, who we like because he's good for talk radio,
his shtick has a limited shelf life.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Those type of coaches.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Do not last for the long run, and if they
do have success, they have to change teams every few
years because their messaging does not work. You can only
bite meet caps off for so long. And if you
look at the lines right now, we do the show today.
Jared Goff is heading into his age thirty one season.
He is a game manager. We saw what happened in
(05:45):
the playoffs. When Jared Goff is asked to lead a team,
he can't do it.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
The way you can.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Have success with Jared Goff in the postseason is elite defense,
elite special teams and players that will enhance him. Normally,
the quarterback makes players better around him. The players around
the quarterback with the Lions in big games have to
rise the level of the quarterback because he poops his
(06:09):
pants in big games. He's done that since his days
with the Rams. He's not that great a quarterback. We
all know that in big games. So whatever it takes
to get Trey Hendrickson, whatever it takes, think of this
like the Lions being at the state fair contest and
they want to win a ribbon, so you have to
(06:32):
have to fatten up the roster like a prize pig
at the state fair contest.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
You want to win the ribbon, you got to fatten
up like the big pig there.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
And then on defense, if you have Hutchinson and Hendrickson,
sounds like a law firm, but if you put them
out there, that would be a buzz light year situation
to infinity and beyond. Even Cowboy and Winsor would get
fired up for the Lions.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Now.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Secondly to Bolt, the more we go where the baseball
team blows and the football team can't win big games in.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
The playoffs anymore.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
But the Ravens did pay the man for the second
consecutive year, Derrick Henry. He got paid a two year,
thirty million dollar contract extension agreed to by Henry. Twenty
five million of that is Gairante making, making Derrick Henry
(07:27):
the most highly paid running back, biggest deal for a
running back over thirty in the history of the NFL.
It has always been taboo in the real world. When
you're in your thirties, you're still young. I mean, you've
really got a lot of good things going on in three,
but in sports you begin to decline. We all know that.
(07:48):
So the extension runs through the twenty twenty seventh season
with an average annual value of fifteen million dollars, and
you're very concerned about other people's money. That means Henry
is the third high has paid running back, number three,
third highest running back as we count that high behind
(08:08):
Sakwan Barkley and Christian McCaffery in terms of annual average value.
The question is, how would you classify the Ravens giving
Derrick Henry a second big bag? A second big bag.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
So it's kind of like the Kenny Rogers tune the
old musician back.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
In the day, the Gambler the song, because you got
to know when to hold them, you got to know
when to fold them, and you have to know when
to walk away and know when to run away. And
I look at this as a gamble, a calculated gamble.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
It's not my.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Money, so I'm not worried about it doesn't affect my
life at all. If Derrick Henry goes out there and
suddenly can't play anymore, that's the Ravens problem.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
That's not my problem. But right now, we do the
show right now.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
And Henry his style of play, very physical running style,
bruising running back is.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
A nice compliment.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
It's like a nice side table to a good sofa,
and Lamar Jackson's the sofa and it makes it all
manageable for now. He's going to turn thirty two in
January of twenty twenty six, so be here before you
know it. And Henry's got a lot of miles. See
the concern is the miles on the odometer. He's crossed
(09:23):
the two thousand career carry number way past that. He's
closer to two thousand, five hundred, and he's got one
of the largest workloads among running backs in the NFL.
And so if you look at the comps, it's like
when you buy life insurance.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
The life insurance people are betting that you're going to live.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Otherwise they wouldn't give you a live insurance and they
don't want you to die because then they got to
pay the money out.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
So they want you want you have to pay every
month and all that stuff. But they do the comps.
They look at the number.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Historically, running backs decline starting right either at twenty nine
or thirty, and it's because of the wear and tear.
Production drops. Sometimes you can push it back, push it
back a little bit. Adrian Peterson his production started dropping
at age thirty one. And Henry certainly last season we
thought he was going to stink or just not be
(10:16):
that good.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
He did not stink. He was solid.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
He didn't show any obvious signs of decline. But this
is at twenty twenty six, twenty twenty seven situation, twenty
five million guaranteed if it becomes a sunk cost. The
good news is that you can always go out to
any train station, any airport, any bus station and find
(10:41):
a running back that will work for the minimum salary
in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
So it's a replaceable position.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
All right, Final fun, We move away from the pig
skin grab bag. We go to baseball, where the Atlanta
Braves were supposed to be one of the top teams
in the Nation League in they're not very good. So
Brave Star Ronald A Kuna junior, who has been out
all year, is attempting to come back and should be
back with the Atlanta baseball team pretty soon. I know, Van,
(11:08):
the one legged Bama Man, is excited about that. So
Ronald Acuna Jr. Has now apologized. He has apologized to
his manager, Brian Snicker, and his teammates after he accused
Snicker of a double standard.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
We talked about this in a previous episode of the show.
You might remember the story in.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Terms of the punishment of a teammate as opposed to him,
said it was unfair a Kuna who's he's in a
minor league rehab assignment.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
He's working his way back. He had the snap.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Crackle pop shred to the knee there and he was
with the team in Atlanta this week.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
It goes back to April.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
So we're going back now a month or so ago
when the twenty twenty three National League MVP. He posted
on the socials if it were me, they would have
taking me out of the game, playing the victim card
from the bottom of the deck, all.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Right, So on social media that's what he said. Now.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
He was referring to the Atlanta Braves outfielder Jared Kelnick,
the old Mariner and met farmhand Kelnick, who was tagged
out after breaking into the Razmataz home run trot.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
He was stylent and profiling.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Unfortunately, the ball did not leave the ballpark, which normally
is how you judge a home run, and so he was.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Not punished by the manager.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Now the question on this one is the authenticity, the
authenticity of the apology.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
So was Ronald Acuno Jr.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Forced to apologize to the Braves manager?
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Was he forced? All right?
Speaker 2 (12:49):
So this is one of those you look at it,
it's rather obvious by the letter of the law, you
would say, well, he wasn't really forced to apologize. They
didn't put a knife to his throat or a gun
to his heat. He wasn't forced to do it, and
he didn't have to do it. He's got a long
term contract, he's a former MVP. So in a literal sense,
by the letter of the law, I will say no,
(13:11):
he was not forced to apologize. However, by the spirit
of the law, it's all it's all semantics behind the scenes.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
It is more likely than not that because of the
spirit of the law, yes, he was forced to apologize.
He was browbeaten, strongly encouraged given the guilt trip.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Read the riot Act. You're the leader, you're the face
of the franchise. You set the tone for the team,
the locker room. We need a united front. You've got
to support the manager team dynamic, all that bull crap
Court of public.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Opinion, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah,
just like that. So that was a necessary step. I
was a necessary step, all right. Now.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
I didn't want to mention the Dodgers who played the Athletics,
and the first game they won. The second game, the
Dodgers made a roster move which likely is not worthy
of much mention. I just want to message it or
mention it. I wanted to mention this in passing. So
the Dodgers have designated for assignment their backup catcher Austin Barnes,
who has been with the team for the last eleven years.
(14:18):
And Austin Barnes has been like a mascot for the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
He's not a very good baseball player.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
But he's one of the guys the front office liked,
and the coaching staff liked, and Clayton Kershaw liked, so
he stayed on the team.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
So do you.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Find anything meaningful about Austin Barnes being designated for assignment
by the Dodgers? Again, it's a backup catcher. Does anyone
think that a backup catcher is going to matter whether
or not you win a World Series or not? He
answer is it no, Most people do not, So does
(14:53):
it move the needle at all? To me, it does
because it's a sign. It seems rather be nine the outside.
But Austin Barnes was a popular player with the core
veteran people in that Dodger organization, and to me, it's
a wake up call the Dodgers, despite having a really
sexy record and from the outside they look fine, there's
(15:19):
a lot of stuff that's not right, and there's some
guys that are dead weight that are on that basebook.
Max Munsey sucks and he's been bad for a couple
of years. We would have traded him last year, and
he stays on the roster. Chris Taylor's been stealing money
for years and he's regularly in the lineup. Some of
the other guys they've added, minor leaguer James Outman can't play.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
He's dreadful.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Confordo stinks, so they've got these big megastars and they're
surrounded by slop. These guys are not carrying their weight,
and so there's some turbulence there and the captain has
turned on the fastened seatbelt sign. So I feel like
this was a message like, hey, this is the first
move and if this does not change, we're gonna start
(16:08):
dumping some of this other dead weight because it's it's
just not it's only.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
May so well, there's plenty of time.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
We go, okay, fine, Yeah, you got guys in the
lineup every day that are hitting under two hundred and
what is that? Who wants that they got rid of
the picture hitting? To stop having players bat under two hundred?
Who betting average doesn't matter?
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Boomer? Okay, oh right, we'll see. We'll see if that's
the case.

Speaker 2 (22:47):
Kevin Durant taking a shot. He's a big sports star
taking a taking a shot at the Cosmos. Durant was
very upset. He was he was annoyed after an astrologer
I had a statement about some tension in the Sun's
locker room. Durant was on the war path, said, what
(23:07):
a clown, very upset. So a Phoenix Sons Phoenix Suns
themed podcast, and they had an astrologer on, of course,
not not the real astrologer, which is Andrea. This is
some ripoff. I don't know who it is. But they
were talking about Durant being his sign and it's the
(23:30):
the air sign, and that there was some tension because
of him and all that. So anyway, Durant saw that
and started laughing and complaining and all that. Let's get
more in this developing story. Right now, we go to
our astrology expert. Her name is Andrea. She's in the
Bay Area. Hello Andrea, welcome you, and Andrew, thank you.
(23:56):
I know I'm throwing this on you. But Kevin Durant,
he's a taking shots here. You would you like to
defend the astrology world there against Kevin Durant.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (24:06):
No, you mentioned that in your opening statement and I
didn't get a chance to google it. But that's really
interesting what you just shared. Do you know the astrologer's
name or organization?
Speaker 7 (24:19):
I can see it's the Zodiac GM on on Twitter.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Oh that's not that's not as cool as Andrea. Come on,
we got the better astrologer here. You can kick this guy.
You'd kick this guy's ass. You'd kick this guy's ass.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Come on.
Speaker 6 (24:34):
Interesting. No, I'll check it out and see what's fine.
I think you know Kevin Durant. You know she takes
the high road here. I mean, astrologers are always going
to have their right Well.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
One thing about Durant, he always takes the high road.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
He always that is true.
Speaker 6 (24:51):
So in this case, apparently he did not, So you know,
I think he should give people space to have their
comments and you know where they you know, M and
a from is their prerogative. But I think he needs
to kind of be a little more what's the word like,
open minded and kind of go with the flow when
people make comments of that nature. And you know it
(25:15):
didn't sound very pejorative. I mean, what did they say
something about the locker room?
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Yeah, they were talking about because of his sign.
Speaker 7 (25:25):
Kevin Durant is a Libra air sign. He has high influence.
He's not going to be on the bench. His influence
is so heavy that it could affect the team that
was there previously over this intering.
Speaker 6 (25:36):
That's a little intense for a Libra usually air sign.
You know, Libra balance harmony to sign in the scales,
So that must be I have to look at the
charts to what else where obviously more than our sun sign.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
And you see right there that's better analysis and the
zodiac GM man, we got better, we get better content.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Right here. I'll take our orstrology expert and you'd have it.
We should have a debate, you would you would pumble
this cat.
Speaker 4 (26:02):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
I don't know this guy. You pum this cat with knowledge,
Thank you.
Speaker 6 (26:06):
I don't know. You know, they might not be sports.
Astrology might not be their specialty.
Speaker 7 (26:11):
It is there, it's hoops hoopstrology is there?
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Uh yeah, they're copying you, Andrea.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
This will rip off like.
Speaker 5 (26:22):
And Andrea encompasses all sports.
Speaker 7 (26:24):
It seems this person is just basketball and you're like.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
A Swiss army knife.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Andrea, you you have you cover all the bases, unlike
this guy who can't only do basketball and apparently not
even that good at basketball.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
For Kevin Durant.
Speaker 6 (26:38):
Interesting, Yeah, I messed all the details. I want to
check the person out. It's always good to know what
else is out there. I just don't want them to
give astrology a bad name. You know that what absolutely
the meaning of all this is. You want to you know,
respect astrology and you want to respect the person that
you're talking about and they're playing and uh, you know,
(27:01):
it would be interesting, quite frankly to see what trans
is Kevin Durant is having that is leaving him so
hot headed and so like, you know, angry, like what
is going on to that's not very libra ish? So
something else is transpiring in his chart forecast wise, that's
creating this turmoil. That's the thing I would look at.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
I got you, all right, I know we threw that
on you, but you look at you.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
You you're you're able to add lib roll with the
tide here and look at you. Unbelievable.
Speaker 6 (27:31):
And I'm still recuperating from the Warriors loss.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
I know, I know that.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Well, yeah, you had to know when when he wasn't
gonna play, it's like, eh, that's it.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
There was a chance they said he could show up
and play.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
And when they they said Saturday is needed, was well,
he'll be.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
Able to play in the next game. But they they
ain't playing in the next game, so he'll be able to.
And I did want to rip TNT. I mentioned this earlier.
I didn't paid off.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
During the broadcast, they said he spends eight hours a
day rehabbing. That you know what that is bull crap.
No one's spending eight hours a day rehabbing.
Speaker 6 (28:04):
No, no, rehab Well yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Yeah, when he's having a sandwich and taking a deuce,
he's rehabbing.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Come on, I mean, it's ridiculous. It's the stupidest thing.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
And I'm pretty sure the silent reporter has got to
be the dumbest person on the planet.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
They just repeat this.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
They never asked questions like, well, maybe that's not true.
Maybe they're just embellishing that and they're using puffery. All right, anyway, Andry,
I gotta go. I'm sorry about your warriors, but thank
you for.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
All right.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
All right, we got the We got the og, not
that other person. We got the OG on our show
right here in, Andrew. All right, let's go back to
the phones, and who do we have. We do have
ask men coming up in a few minutes. Let's say
hello to any meenie money Moe. Let's say hi to
mister Irrigation, who's deep in the heart of Texas in Houston. Hello,
(28:55):
mister Irrigation.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Come.
Speaker 8 (28:58):
Hellow of gas lighting, mister Ben listen, I heard uh
Deacon's call, and I hope Deacon calls in again. I
hope he's listening tonight.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
Now, you were referring to a You're referring to a
caller from Houston named Deacon who was.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Very upset with me. I think he was more upset.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
With Bernie actually than me, but was very angry about
the Astros.
Speaker 9 (29:28):
Then you know, I love a good conspiracy theory.
Speaker 8 (29:31):
And you, uh, you were tongue.
Speaker 9 (29:33):
Tied yesterday when you were reading My goal a comment
compliment to you about they'll take on the NBA draft.
I want to hear more about that.
Speaker 8 (29:44):
I love a good conspiracy theory.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
So there's been a bunch of lottery related conspiracies.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
There were deals worked out.
Speaker 8 (29:53):
Tell me is one that popped into my mind?
Speaker 1 (29:56):
Which one?
Speaker 8 (29:57):
What coming to yell mean coming to the rockets for
when that happened?
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Why would that? What's the connection there? Though?
Speaker 8 (30:04):
Well, well, I mean Easton's got a really large, tiny population.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
Oh okay, yeah, were the ones the ones that stand out.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
You had the NBA was in control of the New
Orleans basketball team when they got Zion Williamson.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
You had Cleveland as a gift.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
When Lebron left, they all of a sudden ended up
with the number one pick. It's like, hey, yeah, we lost,
you lost Lebron, but we'll do you a solid.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
We'll get you the number one pick. We'll set you up.
Speaker 6 (30:31):
Now.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
You had the Mavericks who helped the conspiracies. They helped
the NBA out the TV ratings were bad. They got
Luca to the Lakers and so it's a quid pro quote,
we'll give you the number one pick. And like they've
come back and they've looked at the math since they
have had the lottery, the amount of teams that have
won with less than five percent chance to win the
(30:54):
lottery that have happened in the last like thirty years,
it's just improbable on the on the math.
Speaker 8 (31:03):
So, so, hey, did you ever have you seen that
the new movie, I mean show Billy Billy Bob Thornton's Inn.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
It's called land Man, I'm not I've not seen that.
Speaker 9 (31:16):
You got to watch that.
Speaker 8 (31:17):
That's a pretty interesting show.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
What channels it?
Speaker 7 (31:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Well, what chance? What channels the show? What the streaming
services on? Uh?
Speaker 9 (31:27):
Peacock?
Speaker 1 (31:29):
Oh I love Peacock.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
I love the Peacock. Yeah, my favorite streaming service Peacock.
Speaker 5 (31:34):
It's on Paramountla not Peacock.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Oh you got it wrong, dude, not Dary.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
All right, anyway, all right, it's not Misterrigation, thank you,
but I'll get there. You go, the great mister Irrigation
right there. Speaking of streaming, did you see that HBO
after changing the name of their streaming service.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
They decided to change it back.
Speaker 5 (31:57):
Look, here's hoping that Twitter does this same thing or
X or whatever.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
How do you think that meeting was, Well, people don't
know what this is.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
We might want to go back to the HBO name,
which people people that know.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
Oh it's great.
Speaker 5 (32:11):
I always said it was a dumb move.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
But yeah, it was stupid.
Speaker 7 (32:15):
There are social media teams leaning into it though, like
you know, like goofing on themselves.
Speaker 5 (32:20):
So it's pretty funny.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
Yeah, they changed the name. And how many months did that?
Does that like three months? Or it was a lesson
that I feel like he was less than that. I
know he was very long.
Speaker 2 (32:30):

from digital Space.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
Hi, digital space monkey.
Speaker 7 (34:03):
He says, I was recently paid off with a gift
card to raising canes for one hundred dollars. What is
the better bang for the buck, the three finger meal
or the caniat combo I subslaw for more fries.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
Yes, that's yeah, yeah, So I'm a candiat combo guy.
When I go to Canes. It's a little pricey.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
Now, certainly California's very I don't know how much is
where you are, but very expensive about here. But yeah,
that's the way to go. You don't do the coles Law.
You're eating fried chicken. You don't want damn vegetables. Get
those out of there, and then you get the Texas
toast on both sides. You can get a toasted on
both sides. Yeah, you get rid of the.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
Coleslaw extra fiese. That's the way to go, and just
go Cannie at Combo. That's it. They sell more of
those three piece things, but it's better off Canny at Combo. Now,
Loraina gets the kid's meal, right, Loraina, when you go
to Canes you already know.
Speaker 5 (34:53):
Then, yes, I get the kids.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
I've seen you. I'm like, what are you doing?
Speaker 2 (34:57):
And then that is such a that is such a
like a chick move, right is it?
Speaker 6 (35:01):
It?
Speaker 1 (35:02):
Like I'm just gonna get the kids meal.
Speaker 5 (35:04):

Speaker 1 (35:15):
Hawser right, the whole thing. What's next? What are we at?
Speaker 9 (35:18):
All?
Speaker 1 (35:19):
Right?
Speaker 5 (35:19):
Uh, let's go with.
Speaker 2 (35:22):
Dash Ben, your questions are answers for the rest of
the hour.
Speaker 5 (35:28):
There was a good one that I saw and I
wanted to get back to here.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
Let's do this one, okay.
Speaker 7 (35:33):
The King Rory wants to know what do you think
is more difficult to learn at an older age. That's
gotta be ice skating or swimming.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
Yeah, ice skating, right, But I mean, I guess that's
because we all learned how to swim when we were
really young.
Speaker 5 (35:54):
I would have I would assume I don't know.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
Yeah, yeah, we get tossed.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
We all got I assume, yeah, I got tossed in
the water when I was well kid.
Speaker 5 (36:03):
Yeah, Sam, so traumatize as well. Thanks for that.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
It is odd, though, I mean, I guess I're a
fair amount of people that never learned.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
How to swim. It's odd to me, but in my
world that's what we learned.
Speaker 5 (36:13):
But I who knows.
Speaker 4 (36:14):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (36:15):
We have a question here from Josh.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
The I oh he's in Nebraska bears fa.
Speaker 7 (36:20):
Yeah, he wants to know what is your guy's favorite
monopoly piece to use?
Speaker 1 (36:26):
Why the dramatic pause, Lorena, what do you.
Speaker 5 (36:31):
I was really fought over this. We were like, this.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
One's fine when's the last time you haven't played Monopoly
in probably.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
Fifteen years? I think, well, why why are you judging me?
Speaker 7 (36:44):
Yeah, a little bit, that's probably been that long for
me as well. But I but I know what piece
I use.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
Yeah, I mean we I would play with the We'd
play with famine, but the games would take forever and
all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (36:55):
And so I'm trying to I don't remember what my
my go to. What is your celerina?
Speaker 7 (37:01):
What was your dog?
Speaker 1 (37:04):
The dog?
Speaker 7 (37:06):
I would always choose either the battleship or the top hat.
Speaker 5 (37:11):
I liked both of those. Big fan of the boat too.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
Yeah, I think it was the top hat. I liked
the top because I was styling and profiling.
Speaker 5 (37:19):
Back I'm sure you were back in the day.
Speaker 1 (37:22):
I had a lot of style for my game.
Speaker 2 (37:24):
All right, to ask men, your questions are answers for
the rest of the hour.
Speaker 7 (37:29):
Eke is asking me what was the best food that
I had on my.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
Cruise Cooper's in Alaska.
Speaker 7 (37:38):
Yes, it wasn't Alaska cruise, uh.
Speaker 5 (37:40):
On the cruise itself. I think it was like this
pork medallion dish with like some raspberry chutney or something
like that that was really free.
Speaker 1 (37:52):
Everything was free on the boat. Yeah, yep, I did
for it.
Speaker 5 (37:57):
Yeah, and I did upgrade when my meal once to
like a rabbi oo.
Speaker 2 (38:03):
And you could you get food at any hour, Like
if you wanted a snack at two in the morning,
could you get something or you had to wait till
the morning time.
Speaker 5 (38:10):
The room service was twenty four hours.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
Oh man, Yeah, it's dangerous. That is dangerous.
Speaker 5 (38:16):
That was pretty great. I was having like double dinners
desserts with every meal. Sos speaking of dessert.
Speaker 1 (38:24):
So much food must get wasted on those because.
Speaker 2 (38:27):
People like, oh, I'll take the full meal, like two
bites of me. I'm done, all right, what's.
Speaker 1 (38:31):
Next to you?
Speaker 5 (38:33):
Alfhi Alien Opiner would like to know.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
I've heard of him.
Speaker 5 (38:36):
Would you eat a burger with a pastry for a bun?
Speaker 2 (38:41):
Yeah, sure, it's it's the salt, sugar, fat, it's the
it's the sweet spot.
Speaker 1 (38:46):
I'd try that. I wouldn't go out of my way
to eat it, but I wouldn't say no to it.
Speaker 7 (38:51):
Lorena, I like a ramen noodle bun, but I would
try a donut bun for sure.
Speaker 1 (38:58):
Yeah, that's been around for years.
Speaker 5 (39:00):
And a hamburger, Yeah, definitely, absolutely right, be really good.
I've I've never had it, but I would.
Speaker 2 (39:09):
Yeah, yeah, I don't think i've had any like the
donut thing.
Speaker 7 (39:13):
I don't think that because, like you, I wouldn't like
seek it out, like I'm not going to be like,
oh yeah, I'm going to pay for that. But if
like it was sitting here on the counter somebody left
in the kitchen, right, I would eat.
Speaker 5 (39:24):
It, put it in my mouth.
Speaker 6 (39:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (39:28):
Absolutely. Somebody left some weird food the other day in
the kitchen.
Speaker 6 (39:32):
Was it?
Speaker 1 (39:32):
Like, who was it was an old containers?
Speaker 5 (39:36):
Nobody ate that was? That was Lorainas that was. It
was like Mexican food.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
Yeah it was yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, who's leaving rice
and beans in the kitchen?
Speaker 1 (39:46):
Like what are you doing?
Speaker 5 (39:48):
It was Loraina's food.
Speaker 2 (39:49):
I was idiot, you don't eat it, you don't leave
it there. Remember the rule, it's on that table.
Speaker 1 (39:56):
It's fair game. I did share, okay, Yeah, nobody wanted
it all right.
Speaker 7 (40:01):
Next next question, this is the one's from Ferg Dog,
his first good question in like a year.
Speaker 5 (40:07):
I'm proud of you for Dog taking a shot.
Speaker 1 (40:10):
He wants to know.
Speaker 7 (40:11):
Would you rather have one million dollars or the ability
to talk to animals.
Speaker 2 (40:17):
H all right, so I would rather talk to animals.
Here's why I could get an animal army and make
more than a million. So yes, Lorena, why already talk
to animals.
Speaker 5 (40:28):
I will take the money. Cool, I take the ability
to talk to animals. That'd be awest.
Speaker 2 (40:33):
Yeah, I would become I'd become Barnum and Bailey times
a thousand.
Speaker 1 (40:37):
Dude, Come on,
Boom, shaka laka.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
As we keep plugging along. It is the Ben Mather Show.
But you knew that already. For old time's sake, I'm
supposed to tell you that, and on the pod in
this Thursday edition. In our three, we begin with the
Lions and a lot of chatter that the Lions are
on the prowl. If you were the Detroit Lions, would
(00:23):
you give up a first round pick in a trade
with the Bengals and all the money to pay Trey Hendrickson?
The Lions are the betting favorite to get Hendrickson from Cincinnati. Also,
how would you classify the Ravens giving Derrick Henry.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
The big bag? Oh what a big bag it is?
Speaker 2 (00:40):
And in baseball, was Ronald Acuno Junior forced to apologize
to the Braves manager?
Speaker 1 (00:46):
He did apologize. This week, we'll get to.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
All of that and more right now, and here we go.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
It's our number three. Never never a bad time for
a little horse trading.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Well gome In the beginning of another.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Hour of the Ben Mahlor Show.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
We are in the air aywhere in combination as we are,
the night's best kept secret because everyone's sleeping, everyone's sleeping.
Well you're not coast to coast, border, the border and
beyond on the vast and absurdly powerful microphones of fs
(01:31):
are amminating live from the house, the doghouse of the
broadcasting business, the Fox Sports Radio studios, as approved by
malor prop Guy and ostrich Ant.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
They both approve that message.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Yes, And Charlie the Royal Flush, Charlie the Dallas Dumper,
our friend Charlie there who called in last hour and
still getting a lot of feedback from Charlie's phone call there, Amaze, amazed.
All right, So our lead this hour is from the bag.
What's in the bag? It's an NFL grab bag with
(02:09):
an added bonus. So we'll get to the schedule later.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Why are you talking about the schedule? Eh?
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Yeah, am I supposed to pretend that I'm really excited
about I mean, I'll get to it.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
I'll rant about it. And there's some thoughts I have.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
There's one thing that I love about the schedule that
not a lot of other people like to talk about.
But it's my I'm a a sugar and so I
like to talk about that's my thing. We'll get to
that later, but we're gonna bounce around we'll grab bag
ash in. We'll get to the schedule later. First stop Cincinnati,
where the chili is not great and the sports teams
are blah. So things continue to bubble up. Bubble, bubble,
(02:48):
bubble around the disgruntled Bengals defensive stall word. If you
have not heard the latest, perhaps not here. The gambling
market has the Detroit Lions as the betting favorite to
land the number one available player on the trading market,
(03:12):
defensive end Trey Hendrickson, who is having a hissy fit.
He's had a conniption fit with the Cincinnati front office.
The team has not said they're going to trade Hendrickson.
They also have said they're not going to pay him now.
Detroit already has one of the top defensive impact players,
(03:32):
Aiden Hutchinson, has been a chef's kiss with the Lions,
and the addition if they can add another a level
defensive player to that front line. In theory, if you
look at your tablet, man, that would be pretty good.
Even the blind guys can look at their tablet and
say that's pretty good. So let us discuss the question
(03:54):
if you were the Lions. If you were the Lions,
would you give up a first round pick in a
trade with the Bengals and have to pay the man
to get Trey Hendrickson. So if you were the Lions,
you make the call? Do you make the calls things
are falling around here? Would you give up a first
round pick in a trade with the Bengals and the
(04:17):
money to pay Trey Hendrickson? So my views on this,
I've got state Fair, Contest, Kenny Rogers, and Browbeaten and
we will combine all of these things together and we
are going to put together.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
A barbed tongue is what we're going to put together.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
So first of all, like this is rather simple. Does
a fish go to the bathroom and water? Yes, it's obvious.
It's child's play.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
It's not even up for debate.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
If you're the Lions and you have an opportunity to
get the player, you do it right now. For the
first time in my lifetime, I'm not a Lion, San,
but the first time in my lifetime, the Lions are
having dinner at the big Boy of contenders in the NFC.
And it's been that way for the last couple of years.
Detroit success though, it's like snow.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
You just have to wait. It's gonna Melt.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
At some point the snow is going to Melt and
Dan Campbell, who we like because he's good for talk radio,
his shtick has a limited shelf life.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Those type of coaches.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Do not last for the long run, and if they
do have success, they have to change teams every few
years because their messaging does not work. You can only
bite meet caps off for so long. And if you
look at the lines right now, we do the show today.
Jared Goff is heading into his age thirty one season.
He is a game manager. We saw what happened in
(05:45):
the playoffs. When Jared Goff is asked to lead a team,
he can't do it.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
The way you can.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Have success with Jared Goff in the postseason is elite defense,
elite special teams and players that will enhance him. Normally,
the quarterback makes players better around him. The players around
the quarterback with the Lions in big games have to
rise the level of the quarterback because he poops his
(06:09):
pants in big games. He's done that since his days
with the Rams. He's not that great a quarterback. We
all know that in big games. So whatever it takes
to get Trey Hendrickson, whatever it takes, think of this
like the Lions being at the state fair contest and
they want to win a ribbon, so you have to
(06:32):
have to fatten up the roster like a prize pig
at the state fair contest.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
You want to win the ribbon, you got to fatten
up like the big pig there.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
And then on defense, if you have Hutchinson and Hendrickson,
sounds like a law firm, but if you put them
out there, that would be a buzz light year situation
to infinity and beyond. Even Cowboy and Winsor would get
fired up for the Lions.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Now.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Secondly to Bolt, the more we go where the baseball
team blows and the football team can't win big games in.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
The playoffs anymore.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
But the Ravens did pay the man for the second
consecutive year, Derrick Henry. He got paid a two year,
thirty million dollar contract extension agreed to by Henry. Twenty
five million of that is Gairante making, making Derrick Henry
(07:27):
the most highly paid running back, biggest deal for a
running back over thirty in the history of the NFL.
It has always been taboo in the real world. When
you're in your thirties, you're still young. I mean, you've
really got a lot of good things going on in three,
but in sports you begin to decline. We all know that.
(07:48):
So the extension runs through the twenty twenty seventh season
with an average annual value of fifteen million dollars, and
you're very concerned about other people's money. That means Henry
is the third high has paid running back, number three,
third highest running back as we count that high behind
(08:08):
Sakwan Barkley and Christian McCaffery in terms of annual average value.
The question is, how would you classify the Ravens giving
Derrick Henry a second big bag? A second big bag.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
So it's kind of like the Kenny Rogers tune the
old musician back.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
In the day, the Gambler the song, because you got
to know when to hold them, you got to know
when to fold them, and you have to know when
to walk away and know when to run away. And
I look at this as a gamble, a calculated gamble.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
It's not my.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Money, so I'm not worried about it doesn't affect my
life at all. If Derrick Henry goes out there and
suddenly can't play anymore, that's the Ravens problem.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
That's not my problem. But right now, we do the
show right now.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
And Henry his style of play, very physical running style,
bruising running back is.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
A nice compliment.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
It's like a nice side table to a good sofa,
and Lamar Jackson's the sofa and it makes it all
manageable for now. He's going to turn thirty two in
January of twenty twenty six, so be here before you
know it. And Henry's got a lot of miles. See
the concern is the miles on the odometer. He's crossed
(09:23):
the two thousand career carry number way past that. He's
closer to two thousand, five hundred, and he's got one
of the largest workloads among running backs in the NFL.
And so if you look at the comps, it's like
when you buy life insurance.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
The life insurance people are betting that you're going to live.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Otherwise they wouldn't give you a live insurance and they
don't want you to die because then they got to
pay the money out.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
So they want you want you have to pay every
month and all that stuff. But they do the comps.
They look at the number.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Historically, running backs decline starting right either at twenty nine
or thirty, and it's because of the wear and tear.
Production drops. Sometimes you can push it back, push it
back a little bit. Adrian Peterson his production started dropping
at age thirty one. And Henry certainly last season we
thought he was going to stink or just not be
(10:16):
that good.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
He did not stink. He was solid.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
He didn't show any obvious signs of decline. But this
is at twenty twenty six, twenty twenty seven situation, twenty
five million guaranteed if it becomes a sunk cost. The
good news is that you can always go out to
any train station, any airport, any bus station and find
(10:41):
a running back that will work for the minimum salary
in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
So it's a replaceable position.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
All right, Final fun, We move away from the pig
skin grab bag. We go to baseball, where the Atlanta
Braves were supposed to be one of the top teams
in the Nation League in they're not very good. So
Brave Star Ronald A Kuna junior, who has been out
all year, is attempting to come back and should be
back with the Atlanta baseball team pretty soon. I know, Van,
(11:08):
the one legged Bama Man, is excited about that. So
Ronald Acuna Jr. Has now apologized. He has apologized to
his manager, Brian Snicker, and his teammates after he accused
Snicker of a double standard.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
We talked about this in a previous episode of the show.
You might remember the story in.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Terms of the punishment of a teammate as opposed to him,
said it was unfair a Kuna who's he's in a
minor league rehab assignment.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
He's working his way back. He had the snap.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Crackle pop shred to the knee there and he was
with the team in Atlanta this week.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
It goes back to April.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
So we're going back now a month or so ago
when the twenty twenty three National League MVP. He posted
on the socials if it were me, they would have
taking me out of the game, playing the victim card
from the bottom of the deck, all.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Right, So on social media that's what he said. Now.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
He was referring to the Atlanta Braves outfielder Jared Kelnick,
the old Mariner and met farmhand Kelnick, who was tagged
out after breaking into the Razmataz home run trot.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
He was stylent and profiling.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Unfortunately, the ball did not leave the ballpark, which normally
is how you judge a home run, and so he was.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Not punished by the manager.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Now the question on this one is the authenticity, the
authenticity of the apology.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
So was Ronald Acuno Jr.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Forced to apologize to the Braves manager?
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Was he forced? All right?
Speaker 2 (12:49):
So this is one of those you look at it,
it's rather obvious by the letter of the law, you
would say, well, he wasn't really forced to apologize. They
didn't put a knife to his throat or a gun
to his heat. He wasn't forced to do it, and
he didn't have to do it. He's got a long
term contract, he's a former MVP. So in a literal sense,
by the letter of the law, I will say no,
(13:11):
he was not forced to apologize. However, by the spirit
of the law, it's all it's all semantics behind the scenes.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
It is more likely than not that because of the
spirit of the law, yes, he was forced to apologize.
He was browbeaten, strongly encouraged given the guilt trip.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Read the riot Act. You're the leader, you're the face
of the franchise. You set the tone for the team,
the locker room. We need a united front. You've got
to support the manager team dynamic, all that bull crap
Court of public.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Opinion, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah,
just like that. So that was a necessary step. I
was a necessary step, all right. Now.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
I didn't want to mention the Dodgers who played the Athletics,
and the first game they won. The second game, the
Dodgers made a roster move which likely is not worthy
of much mention. I just want to message it or
mention it. I wanted to mention this in passing. So
the Dodgers have designated for assignment their backup catcher Austin Barnes,
who has been with the team for the last eleven years.
(14:18):
And Austin Barnes has been like a mascot for the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
He's not a very good baseball player.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
But he's one of the guys the front office liked,
and the coaching staff liked, and Clayton Kershaw liked, so
he stayed on the team.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
So do you.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Find anything meaningful about Austin Barnes being designated for assignment
by the Dodgers? Again, it's a backup catcher. Does anyone
think that a backup catcher is going to matter whether
or not you win a World Series or not? He
answer is it no, Most people do not, So does
(14:53):
it move the needle at all? To me, it does
because it's a sign. It seems rather be nine the outside.
But Austin Barnes was a popular player with the core
veteran people in that Dodger organization, and to me, it's
a wake up call the Dodgers, despite having a really
sexy record and from the outside they look fine, there's
(15:19):
a lot of stuff that's not right, and there's some
guys that are dead weight that are on that basebook.
Max Munsey sucks and he's been bad for a couple
of years. We would have traded him last year, and
he stays on the roster. Chris Taylor's been stealing money
for years and he's regularly in the lineup. Some of
the other guys they've added, minor leaguer James Outman can't play.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
He's dreadful.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Confordo stinks, so they've got these big megastars and they're
surrounded by slop. These guys are not carrying their weight,
and so there's some turbulence there and the captain has
turned on the fastened seatbelt sign. So I feel like
this was a message like, hey, this is the first
move and if this does not change, we're gonna start
(16:08):
dumping some of this other dead weight because it's it's
just not it's only.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
May so well, there's plenty of time.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
We go, okay, fine, Yeah, you got guys in the
lineup every day that are hitting under two hundred and
what is that? Who wants that they got rid of
the picture hitting? To stop having players bat under two hundred?
Who betting average doesn't matter?
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Boomer? Okay, oh right, we'll see. We'll see if that's
the case.

Speaker 2 (22:47):
Kevin Durant taking a shot. He's a big sports star
taking a taking a shot at the Cosmos. Durant was
very upset. He was he was annoyed after an astrologer
I had a statement about some tension in the Sun's
locker room. Durant was on the war path, said, what
(23:07):
a clown, very upset. So a Phoenix Sons Phoenix Suns
themed podcast, and they had an astrologer on, of course,
not not the real astrologer, which is Andrea. This is
some ripoff. I don't know who it is. But they
were talking about Durant being his sign and it's the
(23:30):
the air sign, and that there was some tension because
of him and all that. So anyway, Durant saw that
and started laughing and complaining and all that. Let's get
more in this developing story. Right now, we go to
our astrology expert. Her name is Andrea. She's in the
Bay Area. Hello Andrea, welcome you, and Andrew, thank you.
(23:56):
I know I'm throwing this on you. But Kevin Durant,
he's a taking shots here. You would you like to
defend the astrology world there against Kevin Durant.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (24:06):
No, you mentioned that in your opening statement and I
didn't get a chance to google it. But that's really
interesting what you just shared. Do you know the astrologer's
name or organization?
Speaker 7 (24:19):
I can see it's the Zodiac GM on on Twitter.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Oh that's not that's not as cool as Andrea. Come on,
we got the better astrologer here. You can kick this guy.
You'd kick this guy's ass. You'd kick this guy's ass.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Come on.
Speaker 6 (24:34):
Interesting. No, I'll check it out and see what's fine.
I think you know Kevin Durant. You know she takes
the high road here. I mean, astrologers are always going
to have their right Well.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
One thing about Durant, he always takes the high road.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
He always that is true.
Speaker 6 (24:51):
So in this case, apparently he did not, So you know,
I think he should give people space to have their
comments and you know where they you know, M and
a from is their prerogative. But I think he needs
to kind of be a little more what's the word like,
open minded and kind of go with the flow when
people make comments of that nature. And you know it
(25:15):
didn't sound very pejorative. I mean, what did they say
something about the locker room?
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Yeah, they were talking about because of his sign.
Speaker 7 (25:25):
Kevin Durant is a Libra air sign. He has high influence.
He's not going to be on the bench. His influence
is so heavy that it could affect the team that
was there previously over this intering.
Speaker 6 (25:36):
That's a little intense for a Libra usually air sign.
You know, Libra balance harmony to sign in the scales,
So that must be I have to look at the
charts to what else where obviously more than our sun sign.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
And you see right there that's better analysis and the
zodiac GM man, we got better, we get better content.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Right here. I'll take our orstrology expert and you'd have it.
We should have a debate, you would you would pumble
this cat.
Speaker 4 (26:02):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
I don't know this guy. You pum this cat with knowledge,
Thank you.
Speaker 6 (26:06):
I don't know. You know, they might not be sports.
Astrology might not be their specialty.
Speaker 7 (26:11):
It is there, it's hoops hoopstrology is there?
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Uh yeah, they're copying you, Andrea.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
This will rip off like.
Speaker 5 (26:22):
And Andrea encompasses all sports.
Speaker 7 (26:24):
It seems this person is just basketball and you're like.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
A Swiss army knife.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Andrea, you you have you cover all the bases, unlike
this guy who can't only do basketball and apparently not
even that good at basketball.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
For Kevin Durant.
Speaker 6 (26:38):
Interesting, Yeah, I messed all the details. I want to
check the person out. It's always good to know what
else is out there. I just don't want them to
give astrology a bad name. You know that what absolutely
the meaning of all this is. You want to you know,
respect astrology and you want to respect the person that
you're talking about and they're playing and uh, you know,
(27:01):
it would be interesting, quite frankly to see what trans
is Kevin Durant is having that is leaving him so
hot headed and so like, you know, angry, like what
is going on to that's not very libra ish? So
something else is transpiring in his chart forecast wise, that's
creating this turmoil. That's the thing I would look at.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
I got you, all right, I know we threw that
on you, but you look at you.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
You you're you're able to add lib roll with the
tide here and look at you. Unbelievable.
Speaker 6 (27:31):
And I'm still recuperating from the Warriors loss.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
I know, I know that.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Well, yeah, you had to know when when he wasn't
gonna play, it's like, eh, that's it.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
There was a chance they said he could show up
and play.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
And when they they said Saturday is needed, was well,
he'll be.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
Able to play in the next game. But they they
ain't playing in the next game, so he'll be able to.
And I did want to rip TNT. I mentioned this earlier.
I didn't paid off.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
During the broadcast, they said he spends eight hours a
day rehabbing. That you know what that is bull crap.
No one's spending eight hours a day rehabbing.
Speaker 6 (28:04):
No, no, rehab Well yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Yeah, when he's having a sandwich and taking a deuce,
he's rehabbing.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Come on, I mean, it's ridiculous. It's the stupidest thing.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
And I'm pretty sure the silent reporter has got to
be the dumbest person on the planet.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
They just repeat this.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
They never asked questions like, well, maybe that's not true.
Maybe they're just embellishing that and they're using puffery. All right, anyway, Andry,
I gotta go. I'm sorry about your warriors, but thank
you for.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
All right.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
All right, we got the We got the og, not
that other person. We got the OG on our show
right here in, Andrew. All right, let's go back to
the phones, and who do we have. We do have
ask men coming up in a few minutes. Let's say
hello to any meenie money Moe. Let's say hi to
mister Irrigation, who's deep in the heart of Texas in Houston. Hello,
(28:55):
mister Irrigation.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Come.
Speaker 8 (28:58):
Hellow of gas lighting, mister Ben listen, I heard uh
Deacon's call, and I hope Deacon calls in again. I
hope he's listening tonight.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
Now, you were referring to a You're referring to a
caller from Houston named Deacon who was.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Very upset with me. I think he was more upset.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
With Bernie actually than me, but was very angry about
the Astros.
Speaker 9 (29:28):
Then you know, I love a good conspiracy theory.
Speaker 8 (29:31):
And you, uh, you were tongue.
Speaker 9 (29:33):
Tied yesterday when you were reading My goal a comment
compliment to you about they'll take on the NBA draft.
I want to hear more about that.
Speaker 8 (29:44):
I love a good conspiracy theory.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
So there's been a bunch of lottery related conspiracies.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
There were deals worked out.
Speaker 8 (29:53):
Tell me is one that popped into my mind?
Speaker 1 (29:56):
Which one?
Speaker 8 (29:57):
What coming to yell mean coming to the rockets for
when that happened?
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Why would that? What's the connection there? Though?
Speaker 8 (30:04):
Well, well, I mean Easton's got a really large, tiny population.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
Oh okay, yeah, were the ones the ones that stand out.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
You had the NBA was in control of the New
Orleans basketball team when they got Zion Williamson.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
You had Cleveland as a gift.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
When Lebron left, they all of a sudden ended up
with the number one pick. It's like, hey, yeah, we lost,
you lost Lebron, but we'll do you a solid.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
We'll get you the number one pick. We'll set you up.
Speaker 6 (30:31):
Now.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
You had the Mavericks who helped the conspiracies. They helped
the NBA out the TV ratings were bad. They got
Luca to the Lakers and so it's a quid pro quote,
we'll give you the number one pick. And like they've
come back and they've looked at the math since they
have had the lottery, the amount of teams that have
won with less than five percent chance to win the
(30:54):
lottery that have happened in the last like thirty years,
it's just improbable on the on the math.
Speaker 8 (31:03):
So, so, hey, did you ever have you seen that
the new movie, I mean show Billy Billy Bob Thornton's Inn.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
It's called land Man, I'm not I've not seen that.
Speaker 9 (31:16):
You got to watch that.
Speaker 8 (31:17):
That's a pretty interesting show.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
What channels it?
Speaker 7 (31:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Well, what chance? What channels the show? What the streaming
services on? Uh?
Speaker 9 (31:27):

Speaker 1 (31:29):
Oh I love Peacock.
Speaker 2 (31:30):

Speaker 5 (31:34):
It's on Paramountla not Peacock.
Speaker 1 (31:37):

right there. Speaking of streaming, did you see that HBO
after changing the name of their streaming service.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
They decided to change it back.
Speaker 5 (31:57):
Look, here's hoping that Twitter does this same thing or
X or whatever.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
How do you think that meeting was, Well, people don't
know what this is.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
We might want to go back to the HBO name,
which people people that know.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
Oh it's great.
Speaker 5 (32:11):
I always said it was a dumb move.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
But yeah, it was stupid.

There are social media teams leaning into it though, like
you know, like goofing on themselves.
Speaker 5 (32:20):
So it's pretty funny.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
Yeah, they changed the name. And how many months did that?
Does that like three months? Or it was a lesson
that I feel like he was less than that. I
know he was very long.

Speaker 1 (34:41):
Coleslaw extra fiese. That's the way to go, and just
go Cannie at Combo. That's it. They sell more of
those three piece things, but it's better off Canny at Combo. Now,
Loraina gets the kid's meal, right, Loraina, when you go
to Canes you already know.

Speaker 7 (35:33):
The King Rory wants to know what do you think
is more difficult to learn at an older age. That's
gotta be ice skating or swimming.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
Yeah, ice skating, right, But I mean, I guess that's
because we all learned how to swim when we were
really young.
Speaker 5 (35:54):
I would have I would assume I don't know.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
Yeah, yeah, we get tossed.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
We all got I assume, yeah, I got tossed in
the water when I was well kid.
Speaker 5 (36:03):
Yeah, Sam, so traumatize as well. Thanks for that.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
It is odd, though, I mean, I guess I're a
fair amount of people that never learned.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
How to swim. It's odd to me, but in my
world that's what we learned.
Speaker 5 (36:13):
But I who knows.
Speaker 4 (36:14):

in probably.

me as well. But I but I know what piece

Speaker 5 (37:11):

donut thing.
Speaker 7 (39:13):
I don't think that because, like you, I wouldn't like
seek it out, like I'm not going to be like,
oh yeah, I'm going to pay for that. But if
like it was sitting here on the counter somebody left
in the kitchen, right, I would eat.
