We'll have Big Ben's Lame Jokes of the Week coming
up later this hour. Also the malor Riddle of the
Day that'll be coming up a little bit later in
(04:41):
the hour. But before we get to all that, our
lead this hour from baseball, and we'll start out at
Finway Pac where Kyle schwarberd did it again. It is
Major League leading eighteenth shore bomb. As the Red Sox
and Phillies were in a scoreless game, a two run
(05:03):
shot broke that too. That scoreless game up in the
eighth inning and the Phillies defeat the Red Sox three
to one. In front of a partial sellout at Finway.
Looked like there were a lot of empty seats there,
although I was just in Boston the other day to
go back after leaving New York and there were tons
of Philly fans like they were overwhelming the town there. Hey,
(05:24):
Philly has turned things around. That's the story, and we'll
start with that. So if you have not been following,
perhaps night the Phillies whacked a Canadian lad Rob Thompson
at nine and nineteen. They had a three to twenty
one winning percentage after twenty eight games. The Phillies Dave
Dombrowski said, that's it, that's all. I can't handle it anymore.
(05:44):
And they were down and now they're back up. The
Phillies are twelve and four. That's a seven fifty winning
percentage since the managerial change to Donnie Baseball, the old
Dodger manager and Yankee legend.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
And they can get to five hundred. The Phillies.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
They play a Pirate team, which is not a bad
team this year. I always just expect the Pirates to suck.
They don't this season, however, that is in Pittsburgh. If
the Phillies continue to play well, can sweep that series.
They'll be over five hundred. So the Phillies are playing better.
The picture has cleared up a bit. They're right there
in the National League East thanks to the Terrible Mets
(06:21):
and the Marlins and the Nationals and all that. So
that is a good jumping off point. Let us discuss
the question. Is this Don Mattingly turnaround in Philly legit
or just a mirage. So I've got my pillow, pit
bull and Judge Judy. We will combine all of these
(06:47):
things together and we are going to make some delicious poutine,
a Canadian treat, the gift to the gods from our
friends in Canada. We love poutine and thanks to Nico
when we Vancouver last year had the full I know,
technically poutine is from Montreal, so I'm told from Quebec.
I've not been to Montreal. So I went to the
(07:10):
next best thing, Vancouver and enjoyed all the great poutine
spots that are making all right.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
So, first of all, to begin here, so.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Don Mattingly did not I do not believe Don Mattingly
has all of a sudden become fixed at Felix and
fixed the Phillies. He just stopped them from tripping over
their own shoelaces against a schedule of dollar menu opponents,
which is great, right, This is looking at it objectively.
And I did watch some of the Red Sox game
(07:37):
with the Phillies. This is a my pillow situation for
fats in Philadelphia. Donnie Baseball for the low information fan
looks like a miracle worker. And Phillies are playing seven
point fifty ball. Since Mattingly took over, they have not
lost a series. All right, so this is a modern
(07:59):
miracle of baseball. However, under the Malard microscope, if you
keep it real here, and we like to because we're
not part of the mainstream, we're on overnight maddingly, just
stumbled into the league's softest pillow for it. That's essentially
what the Phillies have benefited from, and to their credit,
they're taking advantage of it. They're claborating teams like the
(08:19):
Rockies and the A's and the Marlians and the Red Sox,
bottom feeding teams in baseball, to celebrate that. To sell.
If you're the Phillies and you're you're flexing right now,
we're back. You beat the Rockies, the A's, the Marlins
and the Red Sox mostly, that's who you've played here.
It's like saying, hey, I want to fight. You're trying
(08:39):
to impress a lady. I said I want to fight,
and the woman's like, oh, who do you find? Yeah,
if I was in the parking lot, Oh, you must
have fought some goon in the park. No, no, no, no no.
I got into a fight with the traffic cone and
I beat the traffic Well, who's gonna brag about that?
You played a bunch of traffic cones. That's what the Rockies,
A's Marlins and Red Sox are there, a bunch of
traffic cones. If beating tocans makes you a savior, if
(09:03):
God Madden is now the Messiah of the Phillies, then
Marcel in Brooklyn is a Michelin star chef for heating
up oodles of noodles in the microwave. So the Phillies
spent seventeen percent of the season as chronic underachievers, dead beats,
(09:23):
and now they've feasted on some hungry puppies, and and
you can get to October beating up the bad teams.
There are enough bad teams in baseball that you can
do that. The real story to me in Philly is
the shar bomb. Kyle Schwarber is not just on a heater.
He is on a federal watch list. At this point.
He thought, well, I think he had fifty six homers
(09:43):
last year and he signed a big contract. You're like, wow,
he's not going to do that again. Usually there's a regression.
So he's on pace now if my math is correct,
he's on pace for sixty seven home runs. And so
you get to that level. I mean, he's like and
he I love that he always comes back and just
(10:04):
shoves it up the you know what of the Red
Sox as he was beloved. He briefly played for the
Red Sox and they didn't want to bring him back.
They want to pay him worth the money. Well okay,
bad job by them. And and he's like aviation hazard
every time he plays against the Red Sox, so pretty
much anybody else this year with thirty three years old,
and he's still hitting at this point like a show
boat in his prime, just monster mashing Kyle Schwarb. Schwarber,
(10:29):
who's just like an old school throwback to when you
know these guys were.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Just that's it.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
That's one thing you do and that's it. You just
hit home runs and that's all he's doing. Not secondly
to Seattle, where the Mariners have done it, they have
said bye bye to cal Rally now, not bye bye
bye bye, just bye bye for now. Cal Raley, Oh
my old blake. Yeah, he's on the what he used
(10:55):
to call back in the old days of the disabled list,
but then the Wolkeser's got involved, so now it's the
injured list, which is much better than disabled. Now, every
time I see a disabled parking thing, I get very offended.
I say, oh my god, that is so offensive to me.
We must change disabled parking. Why do they have that anyway? Ah,
I guess major League Baseball they still have disabled parking
at stadiums, but they get rid of the stable list.
(11:16):
That's a different conversation. So cal Raley, he did snap
an zero for thirty eight slump earlier this week. He
led baseball in dingers in the last last season, last season,
and he has now done a one point eighty a
one eighty career arc. He is batting cal rally one
(11:38):
sixty one on Interstate one sixty one with seven home
runs and eighteen runs batted in. So the question for
the class. How would you describe cal Rawley's performance for
the Mariners this season? So I will use one word
and it comes from Pitbull the I will use it
(12:00):
this old song fireball. All right, cal Raley, the Magic
Carpet ride from twenty twenty five did not just crash.
It burst into a fireball somewhere over a puget sound like.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
This isn't a death spiral.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
This is a corkscrew into the mighty Pacific Ocean. The
Merri's offense has been inconsistent. At one point, it was
so bad this season that even the baseball gods had
filed a formal complaint about the middling Mariners. As for
cal Raley this season, and you look at the e
juxtaposed last season in this season, it's like the arc
(12:39):
went from Disney ride with a lot of like dancing,
laughing fish and mermaids to a disaster documentary and right now,
right now, and who knows what's gonna happen. Cal Raley
is on pace to hit under two hundred with twenty
five home runs and sixty five runs back at it,
(13:01):
and is having one of the worst offensive seasons you
can have considering the amount of money and all that
and the year that he had last year. And so
you wonder, is the swing the saw a wing by it?
You know, I'm an expert because I pitched for the WUSS. Now,
so is the swing broken beyond recognition? Is the confidence
completely shock by the time by the time cal Raley returns,
(13:25):
you always take the over them. When these guys go
on the inter list, it's only ten days, it's you know,
it'll be longer than that. So by the time he
gets back, he'll be pushing. We'll be pushing June. That'd
be late May, early June. This year becomes a pure
salvage and recovery mission. Now one thing is certain though,
watching this again, I'll use the word fireball. Dissent has
(13:47):
been anything but a party for the hard old Seattle Mariner.
Fair like, just horrific horrorball on every level. Right now,
final thought, We heading out of the court room rule
drama and we go to the Sunshine State where the
Attorney General for the Honorable State of Florida has not
(14:08):
just issued.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
A hollow threat, they followed.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Up on it. Oh woh, yes, interesting story. So the
Florida Attorney General's Office has issued a subpoena of the
National Football League. Hello, yes, let me repeat this for
those who in the back of the room not paying attention.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
The Florida Attorney General has done it.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
They've issued a subpoena of the NFL as they investigate
whether the league has committed a potential civil rights violation
related to the Ruoning Rule and the league's other employment
practice or practices I should say, policies, programs, all the
woke stuff the NFL has added over the years.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
So the Florida Attorney.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
General, I remember, we talked about this in March, and
here we are in mid May. So the Attorney General
threatened possible enforcement action against the league in March if
they did not suspend the twenty plus year old Rooney Rule.
And at the time I was like, wow, this is
just some political bull crap. They're not going to actually
(15:15):
follow through for this. You're just trying to get attention. Okay, Well,
well here we are. Surprise they're actually following through with it.
They send a subpoena along with a letter to the
NFL this week course made everything public. The subpoena commands
the rogerd l led NFL, the Wolkesers over there to
appear at the Attorney General's office in Tallahassee on June twelve.
(15:38):
We might have to said Jed. Maybe we'll send Jed
who fled as our reporter or weed man hippie. We'll
send them to the courthouse to ask goofy questions on
June and twelfth. Anyway, in the letter, it asked the
NFL to produce extensive documents, including all diversity reports, coaching
census data, or demographic surveys that reflect the race and
(15:59):
sex coaching staffs of the teams. This goes back to
twenty seventeen, so you can look and say, well, it's
twenty twenty six. That's a long time twenty seventeen to president.
Quote continues. All in all, the Rooney rule in the
NFL's related inclusive hiring policies in the NFL's representations about
these policies continue to raise significant concerns under Florida law.
(16:23):
According to the Attorney General. Keep in mind, Florida has
three teams that represent the NFL in Jacksonville, Tampa, and
then Miami. So the question, this is all my question,
and we can all practice law on the radio.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Is there a there there for.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
The State of Florida snooping around the NFL's Rooney rules.
One thing to say you're gonna subpoena, they're actually doing it.
Now keep on in the NFL doesn't have subpoena laws
when they investigate stuff because they're not real. It's just
a food you know, it's a kangaroo court. So the
question is there a there there for the State of
Florida Attorney general snooping around the NFL's Rooney rule. All right,
(17:04):
so the league, I don't know how else it says
they got subpoenad saw penid. You don't subpoena people you trust.
You subpoena people you think are lying to your face.
Only in the NFL. This is how great the NFL is,
this monstrosity of an operation. Only in the NFL could
a policy advertise as quote inclusive trigger a civil rights
(17:28):
investigation for excluding people based on race.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
That's essentially what am.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
I reading this?
Speaker 3 (17:33):
Right?
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Am I right on this?
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Like the NFL is going.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Around pulling their chest out for the last twenty years.
The Rooney rule is great. You know we're gonna help
close a gap. And now I am granted it's twenty
three years later. But only in the NFL can this policy,
which they've bragged about for years about being inclusive, trigger
a civil rights investigation.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
It's so perfect.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
It's a chef's kiss for excluding people based on race. Now,
when a state attorney general orders you to show up
up to Tallahassee with seven years of race and sex
hiring data, that doesn't seem like an invitation.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
That's a come to Jesus meeting.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
With the clock on the wall, like, hey, all right,
so what do you do here? And if you keep
it real, it's not a request. It's more like a
colonoscopy with a really large flashlight and a search party.
And if your hiring rule needs a legal defense team,
which would appear the NFL has to. I know they
have lawyers on retention and all that, but the if
(18:32):
your rule needs a defense team, a hiring rule, maybe
it's not what you're saying it is.
Speaker 4 (18:41):
Now.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
You can call it inclusive hiring all you want, but
if the paperwork sorts people based by race and sex,
lawyers in court call that exhibit a your honor, And
so you can hide behind all the cool slows and
hashtags you want. The documents, the physical in this case
(19:06):
called digital evidence, so that the Attorney General wants that's it.
You know, I learned this as a kid watching Judge Judy.
This case would end with Judge Judy. It would end
in like five minutes. Okay, did you classify applicants by race? Yes?
Or no? Okay? Case closed court, cost to the league
and more and more, and that's it. So we'll see it.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
And this is something I'm missing here now. The way
out of this.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Always when you deal with political types is you just
cut a check, like the NFL before this event in June,
just donates some money to some politicians in Florida, and
all of a sudden, this will we'll just go away
and that'll be that. Otherwise they want to lock in
on this. You talk about this becoming an issue where
(19:55):
the NFL doesn't always about a thousand on these things,
and this goes little deeper, and then the next thing
you know, it ends up going all the way up
to the Supreme Court. And then you look at what
appears to be a clear violation. I think it's Title
seven of the Civil Rights legislation in America. So that's
a pretty wild story that is outstanding by the NFL.
(20:18):
That they have a rule that they've bragged about for years,
which according to the State of Florida. They're saying, well,
we don't think that's actually that's kosher. That's something a
little off on that. It is The Ben Mahlor Show.

Ostriche Ant from d c our Buddy the Great artist,
osriche Ant says for bragging about geese eating grass. Yes,
(24:36):
that would be the geese there, my god, all right,
the evil geese of the world. Is there a meaner
creature on average than the geese? Sawman says for bragging
about his Dalmatian fur coat he is making. That's from
the saw man in Mississippi. Eloy from Compton says bragging
about his cock fighting. That's right. Shout out to the
(24:59):
Dodger closer. Big story we talked about Earlier, Edwin Diez
tied into a cockfighting scandal in Puerto Rico, developing Hot
Dot Dot King Rory says for using plastic straws, yes, sorry.
There are certain things in life that you just have
to laugh at, Like when you go to the grocery store. Well,
here in California, you go shopping, and they got rid
(25:21):
of plastic bags because that's going to ruin the environment.
And they got rid of plastic straws because that's going
to ruin the environment. And literally almost every food you
buy in the store is wrapped in plastic. That's okay,
But the straws that's the problem. And the bags that's
the turtle's ben Yes, the turtles sure destroy the turtles.
I'm sure, yes, all right, what else do we have?
(25:42):
Let's see here. Alf says his cat recipes is the problem.
Kangaroo skin thong from Nick very graphic thanking for that
late night drug. Tessa says they are upset his beard
is made of real fur. Ye analog Al says beating
the jets is the answer. Johnnyk Youugh says his cooties

(26:04):
he's also going with cock fighting and who else page
dan Mark the Walker very funny, very funny slug in Vegas.
We're gonna have a vent in Vegas later this year,
sometime in August from a corner slug Bragg that he
beat up WWF legend Ted Doka as that that's the answer, right,

Speaker 2 (26:31):
Wabbitts, watch out Wabbitt from JT.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
The Wingman. Peter was mad at him because he bought
a new dog instead of adopting. Oh okay, yeah, you

Remember when I was a kid, there was this guy
named Bob Barker nobody knows who is. He's dead now,
and he said, have all your your pet sprayed? And
newter at the That was always how he intertwer it
and I seek correct. The correct answer is also not
bragging about using rogaine on his hairless rat pack. That's
(26:57):
from Bill. The correct answer the people the Peter very
mad at forty nine or tight end George Kittle for
bragging about killing a spider.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
In his bathroom.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Oh my god, I am so of Oh my.
Speaker 6 (27:13):
God, is Peter like protecting spiders? Now, I didn't know

Speaker 1 (27:17):
Oh it's not right.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
You shouldn't kill spiders.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
She shouldn't do that. This guy used to work with
who may or may not be called Tom Looney. He
claimed that Peter was just two people that had back
in the old days, back and then we used to
use this. He used this joke back in the old days,
he said, two people with a fax machine. Now it's
two people that just write up press releases and send
them out to like newspapers and TV stations or whatever.
That yeah, spider, I guess they'd be mad at all
(27:43):
of us. I've killed the spider. Have you killed the spider?
The rainer? I have, but I also want a pet spider.
Oh stop, Brie, have you killed a spider? Brie? Have
you killed the spider?
Speaker 6 (27:52):
Oh my god, I've killed millions.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Right, you're you're you're a multi murderist whatever, you're a
serial killer.
Speaker 6 (28:01):
But I actually did last week. I actually threw a
spider in a cup and I took it outside. I
had like, I had a moment of like.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
Gots so sweet.
Speaker 6 (28:09):
I don't know why I didn't want to kill it.
I had like a moment I felt kind of bad.
I gave him a name.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
I called him Chuck, and that spider laughs at you
and came back.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
No, no, no, no, are you sleeping? That's what spider did.
Speaker 6 (28:19):
Now he's on sixth Street and so beach. It's fine.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
That's that spider crawled all the way back.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
And said no, just like crows, they remember your face
and they're like coming to defind you, is what they're coming.

good chance you probably think your selfing was car fighting
on the inside. If you.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Yeah, it was twenty.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
It was twenty on nine. By the way, it was
not twenty twenty fourteen, twenty or nine. It's the same
I do.
Speaker 7 (29:25):
Hey, I can make mistakes, but guess what I said.
But I actually do the practice because I just get
different memory. I don't know why I started twenty fourteen. Hey, dude,

need to chuck that stuck out of the window. And
but you put it in a cuff, and he says
his weakness. If you're talking like you've named it, you
know what spiders have names, talking and creatively thinking spiders
in the movies. And they will reattack, they'll retreat, regroup

eat them because we supposed to eat spiders. Of course,
we're our lives. I don't know if that's real thing
or not.

Like Fred your house.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
But yet but yet, you know, like they're they allow
the FDA in America allows certain bug parts to be
in your food. So we're eating spiders when we're you know,

Speaker 2 (38:50):
That's from heat in Roseville, Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
All right, did you hear that weed man hippie got

Oh no, what did I do?
Speaker 1 (39:30):
You move to higher ground? Weed Man? You did? It's Darryl.
Darryl and the Ozark sent that one in. Well, big
news here, surprising. I don't know if you heard about this.
Weed Man has replaced Kirk Signetti as the pace car
driver for the Indy five hundred. Eh wow, really yeah,
(39:52):
apparently the move the move was way made to get
more woke people to tune in. Weed Man said, Google me,
I'm a a high achiever, very high achiever. Tom Tom
and Indiana sent that one in too. Here that Mike
Rabel also reached out to weed Man. Hippie what yeah, yeah.
(40:14):
Now that weed Man has an apartment, Rabel wants to
sublet his old cardboard box so I don't know if you're.

too high, is what they were. That's uh. Mike the
Leperchun was a joke, was a theme of these jokes.
Who is weed Man's favorite football player? Well, it's a
Dante high Tower, of course. That's a mikee from Parts Unknown.
(41:21):
Why why did why did blind Scott have twelve drinks
at the Mighty Squirrel tap Room?
Speaker 3 (41:27):

That's why. That's true. After after twelve drinks, How did
blind Scott feel blind drunk?
Speaker 2 (41:40):

Speaker 1 (41:41):
Weed Man. That's Mike again. He did a great job,
Mike the Lepergaun hosting us. Why why did Marcel and
Brooklyn get upset? His socks get upset doing his socks
in the laundry. Why because everything was a mismatch and
he was very bothered by that. That's Mike. There you go,

We'll have Big Ben's Lame Jokes of the Week coming
up later this hour. Also the malor Riddle of the
Day that'll be coming up a little bit later in
(04:41):
the hour. But before we get to all that, our
lead this hour from baseball, and we'll start out at
Finway Pac where Kyle schwarberd did it again. It is
Major League leading eighteenth shore bomb. As the Red Sox
and Phillies were in a scoreless game, a two run
(05:03):
shot broke that too. That scoreless game up in the
eighth inning and the Phillies defeat the Red Sox three
to one. In front of a partial sellout at Finway.
Looked like there were a lot of empty seats there,
although I was just in Boston the other day to
go back after leaving New York and there were tons
of Philly fans like they were overwhelming the town there. Hey,
(05:24):
Philly has turned things around. That's the story, and we'll
start with that. So if you have not been following,
perhaps night the Phillies whacked a Canadian lad Rob Thompson
at nine and nineteen. They had a three to twenty
one winning percentage after twenty eight games. The Phillies Dave
Dombrowski said, that's it, that's all. I can't handle it anymore.
(05:44):
And they were down and now they're back up. The
Phillies are twelve and four. That's a seven fifty winning
percentage since the managerial change to Donnie Baseball, the old
Dodger manager and Yankee legend.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
And they can get to five hundred. The Phillies.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
They play a Pirate team, which is not a bad
team this year. I always just expect the Pirates to suck.
They don't this season, however, that is in Pittsburgh. If
the Phillies continue to play well, can sweep that series.
They'll be over five hundred. So the Phillies are playing better.
The picture has cleared up a bit. They're right there
in the National League East thanks to the Terrible Mets
(06:21):
and the Marlins and the Nationals and all that. So
that is a good jumping off point. Let us discuss
the question. Is this Don Mattingly turnaround in Philly legit
or just a mirage. So I've got my pillow, pit
bull and Judge Judy. We will combine all of these
(06:47):
things together and we are going to make some delicious poutine,
a Canadian treat, the gift to the gods from our
friends in Canada. We love poutine and thanks to Nico
when we Vancouver last year had the full I know,
technically poutine is from Montreal, so I'm told from Quebec.
I've not been to Montreal. So I went to the
(07:10):
next best thing, Vancouver and enjoyed all the great poutine
spots that are making all right.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
So, first of all, to begin here, so.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Don Mattingly did not I do not believe Don Mattingly
has all of a sudden become fixed at Felix and
fixed the Phillies. He just stopped them from tripping over
their own shoelaces against a schedule of dollar menu opponents,
which is great, right, This is looking at it objectively.
And I did watch some of the Red Sox game
(07:37):
with the Phillies. This is a my pillow situation for
fats in Philadelphia. Donnie Baseball for the low information fan
looks like a miracle worker. And Phillies are playing seven
point fifty ball. Since Mattingly took over, they have not
lost a series. All right, so this is a modern
(07:59):
miracle of baseball. However, under the Malard microscope, if you
keep it real here, and we like to because we're
not part of the mainstream, we're on overnight maddingly, just
stumbled into the league's softest pillow for it. That's essentially
what the Phillies have benefited from, and to their credit,
they're taking advantage of it. They're claborating teams like the
(08:19):
Rockies and the A's and the Marlians and the Red Sox,
bottom feeding teams in baseball, to celebrate that. To sell.
If you're the Phillies and you're you're flexing right now,
we're back. You beat the Rockies, the A's, the Marlins
and the Red Sox mostly, that's who you've played here.
It's like saying, hey, I want to fight. You're trying
(08:39):
to impress a lady. I said I want to fight,
and the woman's like, oh, who do you find? Yeah,
if I was in the parking lot, Oh, you must
have fought some goon in the park. No, no, no, no no.
I got into a fight with the traffic cone and
I beat the traffic Well, who's gonna brag about that?
You played a bunch of traffic cones. That's what the Rockies,
A's Marlins and Red Sox are there, a bunch of
traffic cones. If beating tocans makes you a savior, if
(09:03):
God Madden is now the Messiah of the Phillies, then
Marcel in Brooklyn is a Michelin star chef for heating
up oodles of noodles in the microwave. So the Phillies
spent seventeen percent of the season as chronic underachievers, dead beats,
(09:23):
and now they've feasted on some hungry puppies, and and
you can get to October beating up the bad teams.
There are enough bad teams in baseball that you can
do that. The real story to me in Philly is
the shar bomb. Kyle Schwarber is not just on a heater.
He is on a federal watch list. At this point.
He thought, well, I think he had fifty six homers
(09:43):
last year and he signed a big contract. You're like, wow,
he's not going to do that again. Usually there's a regression.
So he's on pace now if my math is correct,
he's on pace for sixty seven home runs. And so
you get to that level. I mean, he's like and
he I love that he always comes back and just
(10:04):
shoves it up the you know what of the Red
Sox as he was beloved. He briefly played for the
Red Sox and they didn't want to bring him back.
They want to pay him worth the money. Well okay,
bad job by them. And and he's like aviation hazard
every time he plays against the Red Sox, so pretty
much anybody else this year with thirty three years old,
and he's still hitting at this point like a show
boat in his prime, just monster mashing Kyle Schwarb. Schwarber,
(10:29):
who's just like an old school throwback to when you
know these guys were.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Just that's it.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
That's one thing you do and that's it. You just
hit home runs and that's all he's doing. Not secondly
to Seattle, where the Mariners have done it, they have
said bye bye to cal Rally now, not bye bye
bye bye, just bye bye for now. Cal Raley, Oh
my old blake. Yeah, he's on the what he used
(10:55):
to call back in the old days of the disabled list,
but then the Wolkeser's got involved, so now it's the
injured list, which is much better than disabled. Now, every
time I see a disabled parking thing, I get very offended.
I say, oh my god, that is so offensive to me.
We must change disabled parking. Why do they have that anyway? Ah,
I guess major League Baseball they still have disabled parking
at stadiums, but they get rid of the stable list.
(11:16):
That's a different conversation. So cal Raley, he did snap
an zero for thirty eight slump earlier this week. He
led baseball in dingers in the last last season, last season,
and he has now done a one point eighty a
one eighty career arc. He is batting cal rally one
(11:38):
sixty one on Interstate one sixty one with seven home
runs and eighteen runs batted in. So the question for
the class. How would you describe cal Rawley's performance for
the Mariners this season? So I will use one word
and it comes from Pitbull the I will use it
(12:00):
this old song fireball. All right, cal Raley, the Magic
Carpet ride from twenty twenty five did not just crash.
It burst into a fireball somewhere over a puget sound like.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
This isn't a death spiral.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
This is a corkscrew into the mighty Pacific Ocean. The
Merri's offense has been inconsistent. At one point, it was
so bad this season that even the baseball gods had
filed a formal complaint about the middling Mariners. As for
cal Raley this season, and you look at the e
juxtaposed last season in this season, it's like the arc
(12:39):
went from Disney ride with a lot of like dancing,
laughing fish and mermaids to a disaster documentary and right now,
right now, and who knows what's gonna happen. Cal Raley
is on pace to hit under two hundred with twenty
five home runs and sixty five runs back at it,
(13:01):
and is having one of the worst offensive seasons you
can have considering the amount of money and all that
and the year that he had last year. And so
you wonder, is the swing the saw a wing by it?
You know, I'm an expert because I pitched for the WUSS. Now,
so is the swing broken beyond recognition? Is the confidence
completely shock by the time by the time cal Raley returns,
(13:25):
you always take the over them. When these guys go
on the inter list, it's only ten days, it's you know,
it'll be longer than that. So by the time he
gets back, he'll be pushing. We'll be pushing June. That'd
be late May, early June. This year becomes a pure
salvage and recovery mission. Now one thing is certain though,
watching this again, I'll use the word fireball. Dissent has
(13:47):
been anything but a party for the hard old Seattle Mariner.
Fair like, just horrific horrorball on every level. Right now,
final thought, We heading out of the court room rule
drama and we go to the Sunshine State where the
Attorney General for the Honorable State of Florida has not
(14:08):
just issued.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
A hollow threat, they followed.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Up on it. Oh woh, yes, interesting story. So the
Florida Attorney General's Office has issued a subpoena of the
National Football League. Hello, yes, let me repeat this for
those who in the back of the room not paying attention.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
The Florida Attorney General has done it.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
They've issued a subpoena of the NFL as they investigate
whether the league has committed a potential civil rights violation
related to the Ruoning Rule and the league's other employment
practice or practices I should say, policies, programs, all the
woke stuff the NFL has added over the years.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
So the Florida Attorney.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
General, I remember, we talked about this in March, and
here we are in mid May. So the Attorney General
threatened possible enforcement action against the league in March if
they did not suspend the twenty plus year old Rooney Rule.
And at the time I was like, wow, this is
just some political bull crap. They're not going to actually
(15:15):
follow through for this. You're just trying to get attention. Okay, Well,
well here we are. Surprise they're actually following through with it.
They send a subpoena along with a letter to the
NFL this week course made everything public. The subpoena commands
the rogerd l led NFL, the Wolkesers over there to
appear at the Attorney General's office in Tallahassee on June twelve.
(15:38):
We might have to said Jed. Maybe we'll send Jed
who fled as our reporter or weed man hippie. We'll
send them to the courthouse to ask goofy questions on
June and twelfth. Anyway, in the letter, it asked the
NFL to produce extensive documents, including all diversity reports, coaching
census data, or demographic surveys that reflect the race and
(15:59):
sex coaching staffs of the teams. This goes back to
twenty seventeen, so you can look and say, well, it's
twenty twenty six. That's a long time twenty seventeen to president.
Quote continues. All in all, the Rooney rule in the
NFL's related inclusive hiring policies in the NFL's representations about
these policies continue to raise significant concerns under Florida law.
(16:23):
According to the Attorney General. Keep in mind, Florida has
three teams that represent the NFL in Jacksonville, Tampa, and
then Miami. So the question, this is all my question,
and we can all practice law on the radio.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Is there a there there for.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
The State of Florida snooping around the NFL's Rooney rules.
One thing to say you're gonna subpoena, they're actually doing it.
Now keep on in the NFL doesn't have subpoena laws
when they investigate stuff because they're not real. It's just
a food you know, it's a kangaroo court. So the
question is there a there there for the State of
Florida Attorney general snooping around the NFL's Rooney rule. All right,
(17:04):
so the league, I don't know how else it says
they got subpoenad saw penid. You don't subpoena people you trust.
You subpoena people you think are lying to your face.
Only in the NFL. This is how great the NFL is,
this monstrosity of an operation. Only in the NFL could
a policy advertise as quote inclusive trigger a civil rights
(17:28):
investigation for excluding people based on race.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
That's essentially what am.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
I reading this?
Speaker 3 (17:33):
Right?
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Am I right on this?
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Like the NFL is going.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Around pulling their chest out for the last twenty years.
The Rooney rule is great. You know we're gonna help
close a gap. And now I am granted it's twenty
three years later. But only in the NFL can this policy,
which they've bragged about for years about being inclusive, trigger
a civil rights investigation.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
It's so perfect.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
It's a chef's kiss for excluding people based on race. Now,
when a state attorney general orders you to show up
up to Tallahassee with seven years of race and sex
hiring data, that doesn't seem like an invitation.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
That's a come to Jesus meeting.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
With the clock on the wall, like, hey, all right,
so what do you do here? And if you keep
it real, it's not a request. It's more like a
colonoscopy with a really large flashlight and a search party.
And if your hiring rule needs a legal defense team,
which would appear the NFL has to. I know they
have lawyers on retention and all that, but the if
(18:32):
your rule needs a defense team, a hiring rule, maybe
it's not what you're saying it is.
Speaker 4 (18:41):
Now.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
You can call it inclusive hiring all you want, but
if the paperwork sorts people based by race and sex,
lawyers in court call that exhibit a your honor, And
so you can hide behind all the cool slows and
hashtags you want. The documents, the physical in this case
(19:06):
called digital evidence, so that the Attorney General wants that's it.
You know, I learned this as a kid watching Judge Judy.
This case would end with Judge Judy. It would end
in like five minutes. Okay, did you classify applicants by race? Yes?
Or no? Okay? Case closed court, cost to the league
and more and more, and that's it. So we'll see it.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
And this is something I'm missing here now. The way
out of this.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Always when you deal with political types is you just
cut a check, like the NFL before this event in June,
just donates some money to some politicians in Florida, and
all of a sudden, this will we'll just go away
and that'll be that. Otherwise they want to lock in
on this. You talk about this becoming an issue where
(19:55):
the NFL doesn't always about a thousand on these things,
and this goes little deeper, and then the next thing
you know, it ends up going all the way up
to the Supreme Court. And then you look at what
appears to be a clear violation. I think it's Title
seven of the Civil Rights legislation in America. So that's
a pretty wild story that is outstanding by the NFL.
(20:18):
That they have a rule that they've bragged about for years,
which according to the State of Florida. They're saying, well,
we don't think that's actually that's kosher. That's something a
little off on that. It is The Ben Mahlor Show.

Ostriche Ant from d c our Buddy the Great artist,
osriche Ant says for bragging about geese eating grass. Yes,

the saw man in Mississippi. Eloy from Compton says bragging
about his cock fighting. That's right. Shout out to the
(24:59):
Dodger closer. Big story we talked about Earlier, Edwin Diez
tied into a cockfighting scandal in Puerto Rico, developing Hot
Dot Dot King Rory says for using plastic straws, yes, sorry.
There are certain things in life that you just have
to laugh at, Like when you go to the grocery store. Well,
here in California, you go shopping, and they got rid
(25:21):
of plastic bags because that's going to ruin the environment.
And they got rid of plastic straws because that's going
to ruin the environment. And literally almost every food you
buy in the store is wrapped in plastic. That's okay,
But the straws that's the problem. And the bags that's
the turtle's ben Yes, the turtles sure destroy the turtles.
I'm sure, yes, all right, what else do we have?

named Bob Barker nobody knows who is. He's dead now,
and he said, have all your your pet sprayed? And
newter at the That was always how he intertwer it
and I seek correct. The correct answer is also not
bragging about using rogaine on his hairless rat pack. That's
(26:57):
from Bill. The correct answer the people the Peter very
mad at forty nine or tight end George Kittle for
bragging about killing a spider.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
In his bathroom.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Oh my god, I am so of Oh my.
Speaker 6 (27:13):
God, is Peter like protecting spiders? Now, I didn't know
that was.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Oh it's not right.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
You shouldn't kill spiders.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
She shouldn't do that. This guy used to work with
who may or may not be called Tom Looney. He
claimed that Peter was just two people that had back
in the old days, back and then we used to
use this. He used this joke back in the old days,
he said, two people with a fax machine. Now it's
two people that just write up press releases and send
them out to like newspapers and TV stations or whatever.
That yeah, spider, I guess they'd be mad at all
(27:43):

Speaker 1 (27:54):
Right, you're you're you're a multi murderist whatever, you're a
serial killer.
Speaker 6 (28:01):
But I actually did last week. I actually threw a
spider in a cup and I took it outside. I
had like, I had a moment of like.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
Gots so sweet.
Speaker 6 (28:09):
I don't know why I didn't want to kill it.
I had like a moment I felt kind of bad.

Speaker 2 (28:13):
I called him Chuck, and that spider laughs at you
and came back.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
No, no, no, no, are you sleeping? That's what spider did.

To actually the host show we he'd be back. We

arrested on the outside of the car fighting. There's a
good chance you probably think your selfing was car fighting
on the inside. If you.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Yeah, it was twenty.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
It was twenty on nine. By the way, it was
not twenty twenty fourteen, twenty or nine. It's the same
I do.
Speaker 7 (29:25):
Hey, I can make mistakes, but guess what I said.
But I actually do the practice because I just get
different memory. I don't know why I started twenty fourteen. Hey, dude,

There's no way that wasn't think I said, hey, listen,
if you state you shouldn't kill us spotter, there's no
there's no way, Lina, no way I am because you
need to chuck that stuck out of the window. And
but you put it in a cuff, and he says
his weakness. If you're talking like you've named it, you
know what spiders have names, talking and creatively thinking spiders
in the movies. And they will reattack, they'll retreat, regroup
(30:14):
and readvance and they'll they'll be they'll make them. You
eat them because we supposed to eat spiders. Of course,
we're our lives. I don't know if that's real thing
or not.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Oh yeah, they said you eat is it eight spiders?
Say year? No, I think it's a lifetime. And there
are spiders.
Speaker 7 (30:32):
Like Fred your house.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
But yet but yet, you know, like they're they allow
the FDA in America allows certain bug parts to be
in your food. So we're eating spiders when we're you know,
you're munching on the cheetos or whatever little spider parts
in there, whatever the food is. You know, no.
