Speaker 1 (00:00):

Speaker 2 (00:25):
You know.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
In a handful of minutes, I've got to get to
one of the most outrageous statements I've ever heard in
my entire life, and it came compliments of Justin Cooper
with one of the most outrageous food takes I've ever heard.
But business first, Okay, playtime later. Serious over here, Tiger
Woods had one of the greatest responses I have ever heard. Okay,
(00:49):
now listen to the question. The guy has an accent,
but I think you can gather what he's getting at
and listen to how Tiger responds to some criticism from
a golfer a Colin Montgomery. Check this out.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Coleman's you know last week from Colin Montgomery who said,
why is he here?
Speaker 4 (01:07):
He should retire?
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Let's no point to this. Do you feel that's about hopful.
And you've done the right to you make the decision
when you decided.
Speaker 5 (01:15):
Oh, well, as a past champion, I'm exempt on him sixty.
Speaker 6 (01:19):
Colin's not.
Speaker 5 (01:20):
He's not a past champion, so he's not exempt. So
he doesn't get the opportunity to make that decision.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
I do.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
In your freaking face, Colin montgummy, are you kidding me?
That is beautiful. We're on the doorstep of the Open
Championship or the British Open, if you like, right, Yeah,
and so Tiger, No, it's.
Speaker 7 (01:37):
The Open Championship. No, you cannot call it the British Open.
I've been told by by people that love golf. I'm
not allowed to do that.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Why did they give you the reason?
Speaker 8 (01:46):
Why?
Speaker 7 (01:48):
Yeah, it was uh, I think it was just that's
the proper name and that's what it needs to be called.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
So seez I prefer British Open.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
I need too.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
I just whatever. But anyway, that thing British.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
There's more than one Open championship. Here's the US Open.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
It's Open. Iritis makes it far less confused, makes it
yeah exactly, I agree, easier. Yeah, anyway, Tiger's getting ready
for that golf tournament. Beginning on Thursday, and so I
just love that right where Colin Montgomery is like, why
is he even bothering? He's a shell of himself. He
shouldn't even be out there. And that was Tiger's response,
(02:29):
is that I'm exempt till I'm sixty, so I can
make that call. You can't because you never won here.
I've got three of these bad boys under my belt.
What I love that from Tiger Woods. That is fantastic.
I think that is a top shelf response. Right, he
met criticism with facts that was beautiful.
Speaker 7 (02:50):
Yeah, and uh, I don't know what the context was
of what Colin Montgomery said, Like if he was being
if he's some golf commentator now in the UK, you know, and.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
He was giving a hot take.
Speaker 7 (03:02):
Okay, you know that's what you're paid to do, you know,
put opinions out there. Sometimes they're controversial, gets you attention.
But if he was just a guy, you know, if
he's just a former golfer and someone asked him, hey,
what do you think about Tiger Woods, and that was
his take, I was I don't, I don't. I think
that's kind of lame. And but no, Tiger had the
perfect response and then just the tone in which he
said it, and yeah, it's like, yeah, okay, dude, I'm
(03:24):
I'm somebody You're not. You know, right, go away, your
shoe fly, your opinion does not matter.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
Goodbye.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
I also like this from Tiger check this one out.
Speaker 8 (03:37):
I'll plays as long as I can play, and I
feel like I can still win the event.
Speaker 9 (03:41):
And has that belief waiver it at all in the
in the last two years that you can still win.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
No, Okay, that's a little delusional problem with but I
get it.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Little delusional, sure, but straight to the point saying no,
and I believe him? Do you believe him at he
That's the thing when you're an elite athlete like Tiger
Woods has been, you've got to have that belief, that mindset.
I believe that he's telling the truth, that he believes
(04:11):
he can go out there and win. Do you believe
him when he says that?
Speaker 7 (04:14):
Well, I'll answer it by saying yes, But I'll also
repeat what I just said in that I think he's
a little delusional if he really believes that. But you know,
we believe sometimes we believe what we want to believe.
That's right in the face of a lot of evidence
that says it's very, very unlikely that's going to happen.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Amen. I do think he would be delusional to really
think that. But hey man, welcome to sports. Was it
Mike Ditka? I think it was the coach who said,
if you think you can't, you're right. Right. If you
believe you're going to lose, or you think you can't
get it done, you're right. You're not going to get
(04:56):
it done. You have to believe that you can. And
especially in a sport like golf. I really don't think
Tiger would be screwed around out there if he thought
I have zero chance. I don't think he'd be out
there if he thought that.
Speaker 7 (05:08):
I agree with that. I don't think he's ever going
to be a guy who is going to play just
to play. Yeah, right, he could do that on his
own time. You know, he doesn't need to. You know,
if he just misses the game that much, he can
go to any course he wants, probably build his own
golf course and go out there and hit the ball
around if you just want to do that. Yeah, I
don't think he's just Yeah, I don't think he's going
to just go out there just to enjoy the game.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
He's out there to win. But you know, with all.
Speaker 7 (05:34):
The injuries he's had, and I got, it's crazy he's
even out there.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
I give him credit for that.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
But yeah, I know.
Speaker 7 (05:40):
But again I do like what you said, because I mean,
every great upset that's ever happened, if they didn't believe,
it would never have happened. Yeah, so there's you know,
we think we know, and we usually know, but not always.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Yeah, that's right. You just have to have that mindset.
So we'll see how he does. I'm pulling for him.
We get it, right. It's the same old thing we've
always said about Tiger. If he's in contention, the event
is way more exciting. I hope he makes the cut.
I hope he's around, and it'd be fun Eddie right
if he made a run at one of these random tournaments,
(06:17):
especially a major. He said this too. Last thing on
Tiger I'll say is he's in a bit of a
catch twenty two where his body is just breaking down.
We all know that, and he's like, I could either
prepare the way I want to and risk not being
healthy enough for the tournament, or I can back off
(06:40):
and not practice as much, not be as sharp. When
the tournament rolls around. But know that I'm going to
be healthy enough to get out there. That's where he's
at at this stage. So that's a tough spot to
be in. Man, he's not gonna be as prepared as
he wants to be because he's had too many injuries.
There's something else I want to throw at you. Did
you catch this Craig Carton, who's got a sports radio background, right,
(07:04):
he's over there at FS one now he's going to
be calling Yankees games for a series in August. So
John Sterling, legendary play by play guy, he stepped aside.
He announced his mid season retirement. And so the Yankees
and Wfan they've been getting a list of random play
(07:26):
by play people and they reached out to Craig Carton
and he said, yes, he's gonna be calling a series
against the Rangers from August ninth to the eleventh. And
he said, I have the great honor of a lifetime.
It's really one of the crazier out of left field
pardon the pun asks And I said, yes, in a
(07:46):
New York seton second, how cool is that, Eddie? He's
gonna call it? Yankees Game's gonna do play by play
with Susan Waldman for a full series calling Yankees games.
I think that's awesome, man, that's one of the cooler
things you're gonna be able to do in your broadcasting career.
Speaker 7 (08:04):
Well, I guess it's awesome for him, and I don't
blame him for taking advantage of a crazy opportunity. I
would love to know if he has any experience doing
play by play at all.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
Is this like, what's what are we doing here for
the Yankees?
Speaker 7 (08:22):
Okay, so I mean we're just gonna make this, uh
some sort of rotating guest host kind of a thing.
That's that's that's I as a Yankee fan if I listened,
Is this TV a radio?
Speaker 4 (08:35):
By the way, radio it's radio?
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (08:38):
Well that okay, so that's even more challenging than if
it was just TV. But yeah, I guess it makes sense.
Michael Kay does the does the TV another New York
talk show host, But uh yeah, yeah, I don't know
that I would be in love with this if I
was a Yankee fan that listened to the games on
the radio.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Okay, So is this an eyebrow raised or is this
a thumbs down from you, Eddie.
Speaker 7 (09:01):
Again, I would if he has experience doing doing play
by play on the radio, I will be okay to
give him a shot at it. If he doesn't, if
this is just well he talks on the radio so
he can do this, which I completely disagree with, I
would say thumbs down.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Okay, They'll let me ask you this if you had
a similar offer, right uh, And you could whichever team
you want it to be. If it's the Steelers, if
it's the Pirates, any of the teams that you root for,
and they came to you and they said, hey, Eddie,
you've been on the radio for a long long time.
You got chops.
Speaker 5 (09:40):
All right.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
We like what you say, we like what you do.
We think you can handle this. This isn't rocket science.
We know you don't have a great background with play
by play, but would you be interested in giving it
a shot? Just call a Steelers game or call a
Pirates series here? What would you say?
Speaker 7 (09:57):
Of course, in a I wouldn't even I wouldn't even
have to think about it, and I would say yes immediately.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
There you go. I think this is cool man. He
might what could be Listen, either he's gonna suck and
it's not the worst thing ever, or he's actually good
and that works too, but it's it's something that gains
a lot of attention. Why not do it this way?
I think this makes way more sense from the Yankees,
(10:24):
and I realized this is the mystique of the Yankee.
Some might look at it and say this is a
little bit too side show. This is too much of
a circus atmosphere for the Yankees and the history and
the pinstripes. And I think it's more fun than having
like an interim play by play person for a half
of the season. Why not. Why not have some fun.
I think the Yankees are better off loosening the collar
(10:46):
at times instead of being it's super serious, right, I
think this is good. I like the approach by them.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 7 (10:55):
I'm lukewarm on it, I would say, but I mean, look,
I'm not plugged into the Yankees. I'm not a big
fan of Susan Waldman who.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
Does the games. No, so maybe he's an upgrade from that.
Uh So, Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
I don't know what is it about Susan you're not
on board with?
Speaker 4 (11:18):
I just just not a fan, Okay.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Just the accent, the delivery.
Speaker 7 (11:24):
And the whole, the whole enchilada, I would say, is
there's nothing appealing about her announcing a game.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
To me, just the whole thing all together. Yeah right, yeah, yeah,
all right, all right, Uh okay, there's a lot on
the agenda over here. We've got a request that doesn't
seem to be honored. We've got Coop with one of
the most outrageous things he's ever said in his entire life.
That is not hyperbole whatsoever, Eddie, And we've got to
(11:55):
hear about this. Yeah, militia's knocking on the door as well,
so we'll get them involved as well. We got a
lot to do here, all right, we'll start to pay
it off right around the corner. Here's Eddie Garcia. I'm

Speaker 1 (13:29):
Thank you, Eddie. I think we got to go to
the militia over here. Jed who fled was? I would
say halfway trolling over here, he said, Hey, Brian, get
to the militia, not if it gets in the way
of more Jeff Tedford talk. That's what he threw out there.
We talked about that a little bit earlier.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
He's just jealous of the real FSU.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
You know, Hey, that might be it. That's a good
comeback right there.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
Right?
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Was he a he was a kicker?
Speaker 4 (13:57):
Right?
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Jed? Who fled?
Speaker 11 (13:58):
No?
Speaker 4 (13:58):
He's a quarterback?
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Is a QB? So what what's the what's the backstory
with him? I know he played college ball? But did
he go to Florida State? What's the what's the No?
Speaker 4 (14:10):
Was it Troy?
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Okay?
Speaker 7 (14:13):
I think he's just a Florida State fan. I don't
think he actually went there. Gotcha, He'll correct me if
I'm wrong.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (14:21):
Is it?
Speaker 1 (14:21):
We got Jet who fled? With us? Jet who fled?
What's going on? You're on Fox Sports Radio?
Speaker 12 (14:27):
Just like I conversate. I go to college pennballing. Put
the work played in the dates on the field, not
just on the roster, play fast and on the team.
Speaker 6 (14:36):
Man, who good enough?
Speaker 9 (14:40):
Are you covering the speaker on your phone? We all
of a sudden we get you're like did you switch
to speakerphone? It sounds really bad now.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Kind of distant right now, Jed, is.
Speaker 6 (14:58):
That back now?
Speaker 4 (14:59):
Yes?
Speaker 12 (14:59):
Yeah, ironically enough, you're now on speakerphone. Dude, Welcome to
the cellular services of Backwoods South. I went, I went
to play the word played indicate that you're on the field.
I was on the roster, you know, played in Fast
and Loose, So I was in Troy trojan Mann. Woa,
here comes a guy who actually got a look from Buffalo.
I tell the boys, we're not going to play, You're
(15:20):
we're gonna be managers in uniform. But I ended up,
you know, you know Ben Bond a little bit, tried
to go to fam youth. Probably should have used common
sense on that one. And you know that was where
I thought I was a kicker because I was, you know, Caucasian. Uh,
you did get my degree from Florida State, That's why.
But they that's why. That's why Publisher's House, a though
state could show up at my house with a lifetime
(15:40):
supply of mister Crafts narcotics and I would still not
pull against them. Uh for you to for afford to
win to get those narcotics, I don't know why you'd
have a team like this. Ain't rich Kims, you know,
Oh no, y'all cain that this is not fantasy. This
is reality. You don't pull against your team, right, no
matter if there's fantasy on the line or not, it's fantasy,
you know, like Talcker Woods, I believe, I believe those
(16:00):
shadow people are real. Sometimes on day three and four,
just like talking saying those things, you can get mocked
when you tell people think that you believe that are
not very much based in reality, that the game I
disagree with that far? Have I been understandable? Have I
been intelligible? It seems like to say I understand.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
A lot of it.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
I understand a lot of it.
Speaker 12 (16:18):
Yeah, count be a psychologist now, uh? I mean was
there any input?
Speaker 13 (16:24):
I mean, I do want to say, I'm pretty sure
that was Alicia Keith.
Speaker 9 (16:27):
It's a woman.
Speaker 12 (16:28):
Okay, we go, oh.
Speaker 13 (16:32):
Oh, he's hung up on. I don't know what happened.
That sucks a woman in charge of the.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Patam Oh wow, okay, all right, Yeah, I got the
fantasy thing right in the middle there, so played it.
Speaker 9 (16:51):
He played at Troy, but he ended up graduating from
fscre You corrected, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
And then he worked in like you don't root against
your team for fantasy purposes? Right.
Speaker 9 (17:03):
He also worked in something about Tiger Woodsy. I think
he hit on every single topic we've talked about.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
What was the musical stuff with Mariah and Alicia?
Speaker 9 (17:12):
Well, yeah he said, he said Mariah, but I think
he was referencing Alicia Keys and yeah, gotcha here, Yeah
he fumbled there.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
What if Mariah did the hook for that song with
jay Z? What do you think? How would that like
instead instead of Alicia Keys? What if it was Mariah?
Speaker 13 (17:30):
No, I don't think it would have been as popular.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Yeah, it wouldn't have worked, definitely, not definitely. Where's Mariah
Carey from? By the way, do you have any idea?
What's your guess?
Speaker 14 (17:41):
I think it's where the Amazonian women, like where Wonder
Woman is from.
Speaker 4 (17:45):
No, Google, I did not expect that.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
What's your guest? La? Where's Mariah Carey?
Speaker 13 (17:50):
Do you guys know where that's from? Where Wonder Woman's from?
Speaker 4 (17:53):
Sure, she was on the island with all the chicks.
Speaker 14 (17:55):
Yeah, that's where Mariah Carey's from. I've only seen her
once in person, and she is the most gorgeous Amazonian
type woman i've ever seen. Shoot, maybe it's because she
had massive heels on that I just couldn't see.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
But Lord Jesus, so your guess is the Wonder Woman Amazon?
Speaker 14 (18:14):
Yeah, that planet, wherever that planet is, that's where I
think she's from.
Speaker 7 (18:18):
What do you want to say the planet is Earth?
I don't think she's from another planet.
Speaker 13 (18:22):
I also believe in lizard people.
Speaker 7 (18:24):
Eddie, Well, you and Jed should actually get along. The
man he shouldn't hang up on him because he talked
about shadow people. I think was one of the things
he said. I'll say Mariah Carey is from Chicago.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Chicago, Okay, Coop, what do you think that.
Speaker 5 (18:37):
Was a good guess? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Let's say Jersey Jersey. Wow, Okay, she I don't know
why I get the feeling of West Coast with her.
That could be totally wrong. I'm gonna say she's a
Cali girl. They don't know.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
Now she's from New York.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
She's from New York.
Speaker 5 (19:04):
Yeah, Oh, I see, I was pretty close.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Well, she was born in Huntington, New York, which I
have not heard of.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
M Sure it's not Huntington Beach. Yes, Okay, all right,
I'm still hoping for CALLI wow, I had no idea.
She's a New Yorker. Probably should have known that, didn't.
Let's get out to the phones. I hear him. Let's
go to holler and James believe he's with us, hollering.
(19:32):
You're on Fox Sports Radio. What's going on?
Speaker 5 (19:34):
He's gone?
Speaker 4 (19:35):
Now bye bye?
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Okay, do we have do we have Poppy checking in here?
You want to hear the latest?
Speaker 4 (19:46):

Speaker 1 (19:48):
Think right now, We've got Andrea. Let's go to Berkeley
here real fast. Huh she's from Andrea? Are you from California?
Are you from Uh?
Speaker 4 (19:58):
Now, she's from New York too, New York?
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Where Queens? Where are you from? Andrea Queens?
Speaker 11 (20:04):
Grew up a Mets fan? Not far from Chae Stadium.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
You know.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
I parked at the US Open one time to see
a Mets game. Oh yeah, I didn't realize they were
that close. I went with a girl and she's like, hey,
just park here for free. I was like, what park
in New York for free? She's like, yeah, just park
at the US Open.
Speaker 4 (20:26):
We walk over.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
It was fine. She was totally right.
Speaker 11 (20:28):
Yeah, no, that's pretty rare. You know, it's funny. I
just had to go into the kitchen and make a
peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Okay, Andrew, we.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
Need to know your method.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
How do you make the how do you construct her?
Speaker 11 (20:40):
Oh? Okay, I use an Orvana creamy peanut butter. I
put it on one side of the holy bread and
then I do a jelly on another spice or bread separate.
Then I put them together and I cut them in half.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Okay, I do like the one side and one side.
That's how Coop and I got it down. So we
are fans that do.
Speaker 9 (21:01):
You do the triangle haves or the thetangah?
Speaker 11 (21:06):
Of course regular square? Because I'm so hungry, I just
slice it in half. I don't get too fancy. It's like, yeah, it's.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
A diagonal cut.
Speaker 5 (21:15):
Yeah, the peanut butter and jelly has to be a
diagonal cut.
Speaker 11 (21:18):
Oh, I didn't even think of that. All right, I'll
try it next time. I'm so hungry with you guys
talking about It's like it's a little late midnight snacker.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
What the hell there you go?
Speaker 11 (21:31):
So it's interesting. I actually met Craig Carton at Radio
Row with Bloomer when the Super Bowl was in San
Francisco many moons ago, which is interesting.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
That's cool.
Speaker 11 (21:43):
Yea. I remember W S A N had a blue
stair and I go on their sports talk radio show,
so that was interesting news. But us I'm calling is
it's er time. But age fans have been accustomed to
the whole world got to see, Yeah, Miller young is
young in August twenty two, nineteen ninety eight, and you know,
(22:07):
he's a virgos is very practical and you know, very fastidious, disciplined,
kind of behind the scenes, doesn't really date look for
a lot of attention. And he said, we're an All
Star game record one oh three point five for a
fastball coming into a hitter.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
That's pretty crazy. That's heat right there. Andrea and we used.
Speaker 11 (22:32):
To just you know, the aspands. We're just used to like, oh,
it's Miller time, and they, you know, use that commercial
with the beer opening, and now it's Miller thriller. So
you know, made us as a hands It's be like, Wow,
we're really blessed and lucky we get to see this
all the time.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
So does this mean though, is he gonna Is he
gonna be on the Dodgers or the Yankees next year
after doing this on a big stage.
Speaker 11 (22:55):
Answer, that's a good question, as you and I know
the how should we say the don't really keep their
star players. Yeah, and he struck out o'tawny, so you
know he's a fireballer. He made history, so he's super young,
so you know, the world is at his h whatever
he wants. So it'll be interesting to see through the
(23:18):
hardest pitch and All Star Game history. So that's not
going to go unnoticed.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Yeah, yeah, he could be elsewhere. That's probably going to
be elsewhere.
Speaker 11 (23:26):
But true to see where he does end up, essentially
with the A's going to Sacramento the next two three
years and then who knows, you know, Las Vegas. But
he's super talented and it's just really great to see
him and get the accolades. Yeah, really deserves.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
I'm glad you enjoyed the All Star Game. That's nice, Andrea,
very nice.
Speaker 11 (23:46):
I've been watching that for many moons that it's like, Wow,
the American League really does win a lot more.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Than the next Yeah, ten of eleven, that's pretty crazy.
But we hope you enjoy the PB and J. We
appreciate you sharing the mats with us. Very nice and
you have a great morning there. Andrea. Always good to
hear from you very sweetly, Thank you very nice. Yes,
how about that eddie? You know, peanut butter one side,
(24:13):
jam or jelly on the other. You go jelly or jam.
Speaker 4 (24:15):
By the way, jelly.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
I'm team jam myself. You guys lorraina coop, you all
team jelly over there.
Speaker 14 (24:24):
There's like a real difference, right, Like one has seeds
in it and the other one doesn't.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Right.
Speaker 13 (24:30):
I just want to make sure I'm being clear about this,
that's right. Why are you laughing at me?
Speaker 4 (24:34):
Well, no, I just.
Speaker 11 (24:37):
No.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
You should hang up on it.
Speaker 13 (24:42):
Good idea.
Speaker 9 (24:43):
Yeah, I've got a button too, What are you gonna do?
Speaker 14 (24:50):
I do like the more real stuff though, same with
like orange marmalade. I really like orange marmalade because it
has the like the peels, like the rhinds in it,
So I like the chunky stuff.
Speaker 9 (24:58):
Okay, well, having the rhinds in there, that's kind of weird.
I don't know about that. But either one is good.
You don't opinion? Yeah, you're fine either way.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
I go jam, just the easier, easier spread.
Speaker 9 (25:12):
Because like, you can find some more exotic jams easier
than you can find exotic jellies.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
I think.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
The traditionalists. It's great.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Grape.
Speaker 9 (25:24):
Grape is amazing, and the strawberry is great. The to
the two ogs, they're fantastic. But every now and then,
like you know, if you want to like throw some
like peach jam in there, like okay, they have that.
Speaker 13 (25:37):
Like triple berry one too. Yes, that has like the
it has like a red and white top on it.
Speaker 6 (25:42):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 7 (25:48):
Back to Major League Baseball, where Commissioner Rob Manfred had
some news that he let go there at the All
Star at festivities, he says that Major League Baseball players
could compete in the twenty eight twenty eight Los Angeles Olympics.
That is, oh wow, that's a weasel word though, as
Ben would say, because they also could not participate, so
(26:10):
seeing that they could is not really say much, but
he says that they're still open to that possibility. He
also said the legal test robot umpires as part of
a challenge system during spring training in twenty twenty five,
and that could another weasel word that could lead to
a regular season use of the robot umpires in twenty
twenty six.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
I hate the description of robot umps. Maybe I'm just dumb.
I can't be the only one who thinks this. I'm like,
wait a minute, so you're getting rid of the homeplate umpire.
They're like, no, no, no, it's just basically replay. So why
don't you just call it that? Why don't you just
call it replay? Right for balls and strikes? Sometimes they
(26:53):
call it abs, like automatic balls and strikes. I don't
understand the description of robot umps. That's the almost way
to describe it to me, because it's like, that's not
even what it's.
Speaker 7 (27:04):
Well, it does make you think that there's going to
be like a you know, ye right right, that's not
the case. Now it's you know, we've had this in tennis,
right with the with the Lions, and they can challenge that,
and then soccer has that what did they call it,
the var video assistant referee or something.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Like yeah, yep, yep.
Speaker 4 (27:29):
It's not new.
Speaker 7 (27:30):
But we say, and we watched the games, we see
that little square, right, we know that's a strike or not.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
So, you know, if it's as efficient as tennis replay is,
I'm totally fine with this. If this is like slow
and tedious and it's not streamlined. No thanks, I just
hope they have the bugs worked out. It's fast. I'm
good with it.
Speaker 7 (27:51):
Like I mean, I know you said earlier and I
was going to comment on it, but you talked about
talking to the players on the field. I'm I'm fine
with that, especially for a nexhission game. Although I did
not care for them trying to talk to the pitchers
while they were pitching and it didn't work.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
I think it was Eric's scoobal right, it was. It
was like, it's really loud.
Speaker 4 (28:12):
Yeah, I'm not I was not a fan of that.
Speaker 7 (28:14):
I don't any other position I'm okay with because they're
kind of standing around, but the starting pitcher and nah,
let's not do that.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Oh man. That was funny, Yeah, because uh, Joe asked
him a question and he's just like, it's really loud
right now. I don't even know if you're talking to me.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
It's loud. He's getting ready to wipe ouah.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Yeah, it was a whole interview right there.
Speaker 4 (28:36):
So did you want the home run derby? Nothing?
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Just yeah, that didn't work out very well. That wasn't good,
but it was good because he was miked up. It
was when Alec Boem he flied out to like deep
center or something, and that's when Schooball went up to him.
He's like, hey, what do I have to do to
get your not barrel of ball? You know what I mean?
Like little stuff like that is it's cool when you
(29:01):
or when it was Aaron Judge and Juan Soto they
were talking to each other in the outfield and they
were miked up, like some of that stuff is cool.
I like that where you get to hear what they're
talking about. But yeah, the uh.
Speaker 4 (29:16):
Trey Turner talking about his oversized belt.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
Yeah, some of that's fun. I like that stuff. So,
by the way, the crazy thing that Coop said, yeah,
you know you were like, you know, you're feisty with
me over Brownie James flash out. You're very feisty. I
want some feisty Garcia when I let you know what
(29:39):
this low life coop had to say here, Okay, he
told me he was like, if if I had to
eat one food for the rest of my life, I
would choose bagels. That's his one food for the Have
Adam tell me have Adam.
Speaker 4 (29:59):
I don't. I I mean, I am not a bagel fan.
My wife and I were talking about this.
Speaker 9 (30:05):
Bagels are so amazing, dense, they're just you, just you.
Speaker 5 (30:13):
Maybe you just haven't had the right bagel.
Speaker 4 (30:15):
I mean, I.
Speaker 7 (30:17):
Mean most things are pretty good, like fresh out of
an oven. I've never had a bagel that was like
right right out of an oven. Maybe, but well, okay.
He bought some bagels the other day from the store
and from the grocery store. No, yeah, and I was like, man,
these these suck. Let's never buy these again.
Speaker 9 (30:32):
Well no, because they put they put like preservatives in
the ones that are on the shelves that those bagels
are not good. You gotta get like bagels from a
bagel shop.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
You know what, I'm gonna do that Coop. I'm gonna
take the coop challenge. I'm gonna report back because here's
the thing. I'll leave the door cracked where they might
not be the worst thing on earth.
Speaker 7 (30:54):
Even if they're not. Though, that's a pretty I think, Ruth. You, Brian,
that's a pretty outrageous statement to say the one food
for the rest of my.
Speaker 4 (31:01):
Life is bagel.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
Listen, listen.
Speaker 7 (31:03):
I mean, I love donuts, but even like saying that
would be kind of crazy.
Speaker 9 (31:07):
Well, no, because my thing is and I guess I
should have clarified this with with Brian. You can do
so much with bagels that I could have a bagel
every day of my life, for almost every meal and
not get sick of it because you can in.
Speaker 13 (31:23):
The morning pizza bagel, in the afternoon.
Speaker 14 (31:26):
Exactly exactly, you can do a breakfast bagel.
Speaker 7 (31:31):
So that's like if you had answered, I could have
bread for the rest of my life, and then you're saying, well,
I could do so many things.
Speaker 13 (31:39):
I mean, technically yes, but I would.
Speaker 9 (31:41):
I would get if if I was like if I
had to have like sliced bread every single day, I
would get sick of it, like I would I would
want to change it up. But bagels are so good.
I would never get sick of bagels. And it's and
it's it's it's more kind of like if I thought, Okay,
(32:04):
somebody was gonna take away one thing, that's what I
wouldn't want taken away.
Speaker 4 (32:10):
Well, they could take my bagels.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
I'm fine, Yeah, you can absolutely have them.
Speaker 14 (32:14):
Okay, you know what you need to try though, and
everything bagel toasted with hallapano cream cheese on it.
Speaker 5 (32:20):
Hmm, that's all I thought it was an everything cheese bagel.
Speaker 13 (32:25):
No, the cheese is.
Speaker 14 (32:26):
A dollar ten extra, and I think that's ridiculous for
a slice of cheese.
Speaker 13 (32:30):
I'm just doing regular.
Speaker 4 (32:31):
I pay a dollar ten for a slice of cheese.
I like cheese that much.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
Eddie your team donuts. That was my, uh my response
to Coop. I'm like, give me a donut all day
over a dry bagel that you have to dress up
with cream cheese. And he's like, it's breakfast food, right, Like,
how is that bad?
Speaker 4 (32:53):
Donuts?
Speaker 9 (32:53):
Love donuts, but they don't hold a candle, not over
a bagel.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Oh my gosh, Wow, so much variety with donuts.
Speaker 5 (33:03):
There's so much variety with bagels too.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
I don't buy it.
Speaker 9 (33:06):
What do you you've got like cinnamon crunch bagels, you
got blueberry bagels, strawberrygels.
Speaker 13 (33:11):
Everything is there? Healthier than donuts too?
Speaker 4 (33:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (33:14):
Absolutely, I don't care about that. That's why we're not
in it for health. Yeah, well, it's a tasty goodness.
Speaker 5 (33:21):
Look I don't know.
Speaker 9 (33:22):
I mean, in a sense, you might be right about
it being healthier than a bagel or than a donut,
but the problem is I feel like, no, you're right
you're right, You're right.
Speaker 5 (33:33):
It's well, I.
Speaker 9 (33:34):
Was gonna say, because I could eat like several bagels
in a row, They're so delicious. But I could also
I and I have eaten many donuts in a row
and been in a bad spot.
Speaker 5 (33:47):
Larida's witnessed that you.

Speaker 7 (34:52):
I'm not like gonna wait outside somebody's hotel room or whatever.
Speaker 4 (34:58):
Not hotel room, but like hotel I guess would be
a right like.
Speaker 7 (35:01):
Some of the I would never do that, but I have,
you know, if there's a fan event or like for example,
I was at the Hall of Fame and I saw
that Dermonty Dawson autographs, so I and I made sure
that before we went, I bought a Dermanti Dawson jersey, yeah,
(35:23):
and had him sign it. So yeah, I would never
like buy an autographed item from someplace, not just because
I'm not totally sure if it's you know, legit, but
I like to have a story behind Like I just did,
like behind somebody signing something and I saw him at
a place or whatever. I yeah, that's cool. I usually
(35:44):
de jerseys autographed. We went to a super Bowl event
when the Super Bowl was here at so Far and
they had just various NFL people signing autographs. I got
Cordy Old Stewart to sign a Steeler's mini helmet. Yeah,
so yeah, you have those. And you know, did he
put slash on it?
Speaker 4 (36:04):
No, he did not.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
He just his name. Yeah, yeah, with a little ten. Yeah,
there you go. Yeah. I bring this up because Jason
Tatum with the Celtics, He's got an autograph story about
Lebron James. Okay, this goes back to when Jason Tatum
was eleven years old. He now plays for the Celtics
and all that. So they're both playing for Team USA,
(36:27):
and so he recently told Lebron about the time Lebron
blew him off when he wanted an autograph as a kid.
So check out this conversation. It's pretty funny.
Speaker 8 (36:38):
He kind of told me no. In Memphis a long
time ago. Larry Hughes is my dad best friend. They
played on the cav together. My mom took me to
a game in Memphis. I wanted to meet Lebron and
I wanted to get a picture with him in an
autograph and there's a lot of people back there. He
was like, I'm out, I gotta go, and I got
in the car and started crying.
Speaker 4 (36:58):
But we cool. Now. He had me from Autogram and
I give it to him. I was like, I love it.
That's why you've dunked. That's why you dunked on.
Speaker 10 (37:05):
Me in the Cowers Finals to get back, by the way,
that's why you had that haircut.
Speaker 6 (37:11):
That's how you had the haircut when you played.
Speaker 1 (37:13):
So yeah, So Jason Tatum eleven years old, all excited. Hey,
my dad knows Larry Hughes. Larry Hughes is on the calves.
I'm gonna get Lebron's autograph. Man, it's gonna be awesome
to get a picture. Lebron's like, I gotta go, I'm
out of here. And then Lebron was talking about It
was the twenty eighteen Conference Finals and Jason Tatum, as
(37:35):
a rookie, dunked on Lebron in Game seven, So that's
what they were talking about.
Speaker 5 (37:39):
Lebron is just remarkable though.
Speaker 1 (37:41):
Yeah, why I say that, Coop.
Speaker 9 (37:43):
That that that can be a story And now here
he is, you know, Tatum in the NBA one of
the best players, and Lebron is still one of the
best players. Yeah, it's just it's just crazy. It is crazy.
Speaker 1 (37:56):
You an autograph, guy, Coop. I've been around some major
stars yeah.
Speaker 5 (38:01):
I mean I have some some pretty cool autographs.
Speaker 1 (38:04):
Have you ever gotten blown off for an autograph? Yes,
set up.
Speaker 9 (38:08):
I don't have time to tell the story right now,
but I was at an Angels game. Uh oh, yes,
Garrett Anderson.
Speaker 1 (38:16):
It was a I'm gonna bring this back up. I
want to hear the Garrett Anderson where Coop's like, hey,
mister Anderson, He's like, get out of my freaking face.
So we'll bring that back up. Also a top ten
list in the opposite order.
Oh man, this is one of the best responses I
have ever heard in my sports life. We will share
that with you momentially. We are broadcasting live from the
tirack dot com studios. Ti iraq dot com will help
get you there an unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free
road hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended installers tierrack
(00:21):
dot com. The way tire buying should be Eddie.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
You know.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
In a handful of minutes, I've got to get to
one of the most outrageous statements I've ever heard in
my entire life, and it came compliments of Justin Cooper
with one of the most outrageous food takes I've ever heard.
But business first, Okay, playtime later. Serious over here, Tiger
Woods had one of the greatest responses I have ever heard. Okay,
(00:49):
now listen to the question. The guy has an accent,
but I think you can gather what he's getting at
and listen to how Tiger responds to some criticism from
a golfer a Colin Montgomery. Check this out.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Coleman's you know last week from Colin Montgomery who said,
why is he here?
Speaker 4 (01:07):
He should retire?
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Let's no point to this. Do you feel that's about hopful.
And you've done the right to you make the decision
when you decided.
Speaker 5 (01:15):
Oh, well, as a past champion, I'm exempt on him sixty.
Speaker 6 (01:19):
Colin's not.
Speaker 5 (01:20):
He's not a past champion, so he's not exempt. So
he doesn't get the opportunity to make that decision.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
I do.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
In your freaking face, Colin montgummy, are you kidding me?
That is beautiful. We're on the doorstep of the Open
Championship or the British Open, if you like, right, Yeah,
and so Tiger, No, it's.
Speaker 7 (01:37):
The Open Championship. No, you cannot call it the British Open.
I've been told by by people that love golf. I'm
not allowed to do that.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Why did they give you the reason?
Speaker 8 (01:46):
Why?
Speaker 7 (01:48):
Yeah, it was uh, I think it was just that's
the proper name and that's what it needs to be called.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
So seez I prefer British Open.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
I need too.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
I just whatever. But anyway, that thing British.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
There's more than one Open championship. Here's the US Open.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
It's Open. Iritis makes it far less confused, makes it
yeah exactly, I agree, easier. Yeah, anyway, Tiger's getting ready
for that golf tournament. Beginning on Thursday, and so I
just love that right where Colin Montgomery is like, why
is he even bothering? He's a shell of himself. He
shouldn't even be out there. And that was Tiger's response,
(02:29):
is that I'm exempt till I'm sixty, so I can
make that call. You can't because you never won here.
I've got three of these bad boys under my belt.
What I love that from Tiger Woods. That is fantastic.
I think that is a top shelf response. Right, he
met criticism with facts that was beautiful.
Speaker 7 (02:50):
Yeah, and uh, I don't know what the context was
of what Colin Montgomery said, Like if he was being
if he's some golf commentator now in the UK, you know, and.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
He was giving a hot take.
Speaker 7 (03:02):
Okay, you know that's what you're paid to do, you know,
put opinions out there. Sometimes they're controversial, gets you attention.
But if he was just a guy, you know, if
he's just a former golfer and someone asked him, hey,
what do you think about Tiger Woods, and that was
his take, I was I don't, I don't. I think
that's kind of lame. And but no, Tiger had the
perfect response and then just the tone in which he
said it, and yeah, it's like, yeah, okay, dude, I'm
(03:24):
I'm somebody You're not. You know, right, go away, your
shoe fly, your opinion does not matter.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
Goodbye.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
I also like this from Tiger check this one out.
Speaker 8 (03:37):
I'll plays as long as I can play, and I
feel like I can still win the event.
Speaker 9 (03:41):
And has that belief waiver it at all in the
in the last two years that you can still win.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
No, Okay, that's a little delusional problem with but I
get it.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Little delusional, sure, but straight to the point saying no,
and I believe him? Do you believe him at he
That's the thing when you're an elite athlete like Tiger
Woods has been, you've got to have that belief, that mindset.
I believe that he's telling the truth, that he believes
(04:11):
he can go out there and win. Do you believe
him when he says that?
Speaker 7 (04:14):
Well, I'll answer it by saying yes, But I'll also
repeat what I just said in that I think he's
a little delusional if he really believes that. But you know,
we believe sometimes we believe what we want to believe.
That's right in the face of a lot of evidence
that says it's very, very unlikely that's going to happen.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Amen. I do think he would be delusional to really
think that. But hey man, welcome to sports. Was it
Mike Ditka? I think it was the coach who said,
if you think you can't, you're right. Right. If you
believe you're going to lose, or you think you can't
get it done, you're right. You're not going to get
(04:56):
it done. You have to believe that you can. And
especially in a sport like golf. I really don't think
Tiger would be screwed around out there if he thought
I have zero chance. I don't think he'd be out
there if he thought that.
Speaker 7 (05:08):
I agree with that. I don't think he's ever going
to be a guy who is going to play just
to play. Yeah, right, he could do that on his
own time. You know, he doesn't need to. You know,
if he just misses the game that much, he can
go to any course he wants, probably build his own
golf course and go out there and hit the ball
around if you just want to do that. Yeah, I
don't think he's just Yeah, I don't think he's going
to just go out there just to enjoy the game.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
He's out there to win. But you know, with all.
Speaker 7 (05:34):
The injuries he's had, and I got, it's crazy he's
even out there.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
I give him credit for that.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
But yeah, I know.
Speaker 7 (05:40):
But again I do like what you said, because I mean,
every great upset that's ever happened, if they didn't believe,
it would never have happened. Yeah, so there's you know,
we think we know, and we usually know, but not always.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Yeah, that's right. You just have to have that mindset.
So we'll see how he does. I'm pulling for him.
We get it, right. It's the same old thing we've
always said about Tiger. If he's in contention, the event
is way more exciting. I hope he makes the cut.
I hope he's around, and it'd be fun Eddie right
if he made a run at one of these random tournaments,
(06:17):
especially a major. He said this too. Last thing on
Tiger I'll say is he's in a bit of a
catch twenty two where his body is just breaking down.
We all know that, and he's like, I could either
prepare the way I want to and risk not being
healthy enough for the tournament, or I can back off
(06:40):
and not practice as much, not be as sharp. When
the tournament rolls around. But know that I'm going to
be healthy enough to get out there. That's where he's
at at this stage. So that's a tough spot to
be in. Man, he's not gonna be as prepared as
he wants to be because he's had too many injuries.
There's something else I want to throw at you. Did
you catch this Craig Carton, who's got a sports radio background, right,
(07:04):
he's over there at FS one now he's going to
be calling Yankees games for a series in August. So
John Sterling, legendary play by play guy, he stepped aside.
He announced his mid season retirement. And so the Yankees
and Wfan they've been getting a list of random play
(07:26):
by play people and they reached out to Craig Carton
and he said, yes, he's gonna be calling a series
against the Rangers from August ninth to the eleventh. And
he said, I have the great honor of a lifetime.
It's really one of the crazier out of left field
pardon the pun asks And I said, yes, in a
(07:46):
New York seton second, how cool is that, Eddie? He's
gonna call it? Yankees Game's gonna do play by play
with Susan Waldman for a full series calling Yankees games.
I think that's awesome, man, that's one of the cooler
things you're gonna be able to do in your broadcasting career.
Speaker 7 (08:04):
Well, I guess it's awesome for him, and I don't
blame him for taking advantage of a crazy opportunity. I
would love to know if he has any experience doing
play by play at all.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
Is this like, what's what are we doing here for
the Yankees?
Speaker 7 (08:22):
Okay, so I mean we're just gonna make this, uh
some sort of rotating guest host kind of a thing.
That's that's that's I as a Yankee fan if I listened,
Is this TV a radio?
Speaker 4 (08:35):
By the way, radio it's radio?
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (08:38):
Well that okay, so that's even more challenging than if
it was just TV. But yeah, I guess it makes sense.
Michael Kay does the does the TV another New York
talk show host, But uh yeah, yeah, I don't know
that I would be in love with this if I
was a Yankee fan that listened to the games on
the radio.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Okay, So is this an eyebrow raised or is this
a thumbs down from you, Eddie.
Speaker 7 (09:01):
Again, I would if he has experience doing doing play
by play on the radio, I will be okay to
give him a shot at it. If he doesn't, if
this is just well he talks on the radio so
he can do this, which I completely disagree with, I
would say thumbs down.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Okay, They'll let me ask you this if you had
a similar offer, right uh, And you could whichever team
you want it to be. If it's the Steelers, if
it's the Pirates, any of the teams that you root for,
and they came to you and they said, hey, Eddie,
you've been on the radio for a long long time.
You got chops.
Speaker 5 (09:40):
All right.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
We like what you say, we like what you do.
We think you can handle this. This isn't rocket science.
We know you don't have a great background with play
by play, but would you be interested in giving it
a shot? Just call a Steelers game or call a
Pirates series here? What would you say?
Speaker 7 (09:57):
Of course, in a I wouldn't even I wouldn't even
have to think about it, and I would say yes immediately.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
There you go. I think this is cool man. He
might what could be Listen, either he's gonna suck and
it's not the worst thing ever, or he's actually good
and that works too, but it's it's something that gains
a lot of attention. Why not do it this way?
I think this makes way more sense from the Yankees,
(10:24):
and I realized this is the mystique of the Yankee.
Some might look at it and say this is a
little bit too side show. This is too much of
a circus atmosphere for the Yankees and the history and
the pinstripes. And I think it's more fun than having
like an interim play by play person for a half
of the season. Why not. Why not have some fun.
I think the Yankees are better off loosening the collar
(10:46):
at times instead of being it's super serious, right, I
think this is good. I like the approach by them.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 7 (10:55):
I'm lukewarm on it, I would say, but I mean, look,
I'm not plugged into the Yankees. I'm not a big
fan of Susan Waldman who.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
Does the games. No, so maybe he's an upgrade from that.
Uh So, Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
I don't know what is it about Susan you're not
on board with?
Speaker 4 (11:18):
I just just not a fan, Okay.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Just the accent, the delivery.
Speaker 7 (11:24):
And the whole, the whole enchilada, I would say, is
there's nothing appealing about her announcing a game.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
To me, just the whole thing all together. Yeah right, yeah, yeah,
all right, all right, Uh okay, there's a lot on
the agenda over here. We've got a request that doesn't
seem to be honored. We've got Coop with one of
the most outrageous things he's ever said in his entire life.
That is not hyperbole whatsoever, Eddie, And we've got to
(11:55):
hear about this. Yeah, militia's knocking on the door as well,
so we'll get them involved as well. We got a
lot to do here, all right, we'll start to pay
it off right around the corner. Here's Eddie Garcia. I'm
Brian No. We're in for Big Ben Malor hang with

Fox Sports Radio Studios. In for Ben Maller, it's Brian No.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Thank you, Eddie. I think we got to go to
the militia over here. Jed who fled was? I would
say halfway trolling over here, he said, Hey, Brian, get
to the militia, not if it gets in the way
of more Jeff Tedford talk. That's what he threw out there.
We talked about that a little bit earlier.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
He's just jealous of the real FSU.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
You know, Hey, that might be it. That's a good
comeback right there.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
Right?
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Was he a he was a kicker?
Speaker 4 (13:57):
Right?
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Jed? Who fled?
Speaker 11 (13:58):
No?
Speaker 4 (13:58):
He's a quarterback?
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Is a QB? So what what's the what's the backstory
with him? I know he played college ball? But did
he go to Florida State? What's the what's the No?
Speaker 4 (14:10):
Was it Troy?
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Okay?
Speaker 7 (14:13):
I think he's just a Florida State fan. I don't
think he actually went there. Gotcha, He'll correct me if
I'm wrong.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (14:21):
Is it?
Speaker 1 (14:21):
We got Jet who fled? With us? Jet who fled?
What's going on? You're on Fox Sports Radio?
Speaker 12 (14:27):
Just like I conversate. I go to college pennballing. Put
the work played in the dates on the field, not
just on the roster, play fast and on the team.
Speaker 6 (14:36):
Man, who good enough?
Speaker 9 (14:40):
Are you covering the speaker on your phone? We all
of a sudden we get you're like did you switch
to speakerphone? It sounds really bad now.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Kind of distant right now, Jed, is.
Speaker 6 (14:58):
That back now?
Speaker 4 (14:59):
Yes?
Speaker 12 (14:59):
Yeah, ironically enough, you're now on speakerphone. Dude, Welcome to
the cellular services of Backwoods South. I went, I went
to play the word played indicate that you're on the field.
I was on the roster, you know, played in Fast
and Loose, So I was in Troy trojan Mann. Woa,
here comes a guy who actually got a look from Buffalo.
I tell the boys, we're not going to play, You're
(15:20):
we're gonna be managers in uniform. But I ended up,
you know, you know Ben Bond a little bit, tried
to go to fam youth. Probably should have used common
sense on that one. And you know that was where
I thought I was a kicker because I was, you know, Caucasian. Uh,
you did get my degree from Florida State, That's why.
But they that's why. That's why Publisher's House, a though
state could show up at my house with a lifetime
(15:40):
supply of mister Crafts narcotics and I would still not
pull against them. Uh for you to for afford to
win to get those narcotics, I don't know why you'd
have a team like this. Ain't rich Kims, you know,
Oh no, y'all cain that this is not fantasy. This
is reality. You don't pull against your team, right, no
matter if there's fantasy on the line or not, it's fantasy,
you know, like Talcker Woods, I believe, I believe those
(16:00):
shadow people are real. Sometimes on day three and four,
just like talking saying those things, you can get mocked
when you tell people think that you believe that are
not very much based in reality, that the game I
disagree with that far? Have I been understandable? Have I
been intelligible? It seems like to say I understand.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
A lot of it.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
I understand a lot of it.
Speaker 12 (16:18):
Yeah, count be a psychologist now, uh? I mean was
there any input?
Speaker 13 (16:24):
I mean, I do want to say, I'm pretty sure
that was Alicia Keith.
Speaker 9 (16:27):
It's a woman.
Speaker 12 (16:28):
Okay, we go, oh.
Speaker 13 (16:32):
Oh, he's hung up on. I don't know what happened.
That sucks a woman in charge of the.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Patam Oh wow, okay, all right, Yeah, I got the
fantasy thing right in the middle there, so played it.
Speaker 9 (16:51):
He played at Troy, but he ended up graduating from
fscre You corrected, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
And then he worked in like you don't root against
your team for fantasy purposes? Right.
Speaker 9 (17:03):
He also worked in something about Tiger Woodsy. I think
he hit on every single topic we've talked about.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
What was the musical stuff with Mariah and Alicia?
Speaker 9 (17:12):
Well, yeah he said, he said Mariah, but I think
he was referencing Alicia Keys and yeah, gotcha here, Yeah
he fumbled there.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
What if Mariah did the hook for that song with
jay Z? What do you think? How would that like
instead instead of Alicia Keys? What if it was Mariah?
Speaker 13 (17:30):
No, I don't think it would have been as popular.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Yeah, it wouldn't have worked, definitely, not definitely. Where's Mariah
Carey from? By the way, do you have any idea?
What's your guess?
Speaker 14 (17:41):
I think it's where the Amazonian women, like where Wonder
Woman is from.
Speaker 4 (17:45):
No, Google, I did not expect that.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
What's your guest? La? Where's Mariah Carey?
Speaker 13 (17:50):
Do you guys know where that's from? Where Wonder Woman's from?
Speaker 4 (17:53):
Sure, she was on the island with all the chicks.
Speaker 14 (17:55):
Yeah, that's where Mariah Carey's from. I've only seen her
once in person, and she is the most gorgeous Amazonian
type woman i've ever seen. Shoot, maybe it's because she
had massive heels on that I just couldn't see.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
But Lord Jesus, so your guess is the Wonder Woman Amazon?
Speaker 14 (18:14):
Yeah, that planet, wherever that planet is, that's where I
think she's from.
Speaker 7 (18:18):
What do you want to say the planet is Earth?
I don't think she's from another planet.
Speaker 13 (18:22):
I also believe in lizard people.
Speaker 7 (18:24):
Eddie, Well, you and Jed should actually get along. The
man he shouldn't hang up on him because he talked
about shadow people. I think was one of the things
he said. I'll say Mariah Carey is from Chicago.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Chicago, Okay, Coop, what do you think that.
Speaker 5 (18:37):
Was a good guess? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Let's say Jersey Jersey. Wow, Okay, she I don't know
why I get the feeling of West Coast with her.
That could be totally wrong. I'm gonna say she's a
Cali girl. They don't know.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
Now she's from New York.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
She's from New York.
Speaker 5 (19:04):
Yeah, Oh, I see, I was pretty close.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Well, she was born in Huntington, New York, which I
have not heard of.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
M Sure it's not Huntington Beach. Yes, Okay, all right,
I'm still hoping for CALLI wow, I had no idea.
She's a New Yorker. Probably should have known that, didn't.
Let's get out to the phones. I hear him. Let's
go to holler and James believe he's with us, hollering.
(19:32):
You're on Fox Sports Radio. What's going on?
Speaker 5 (19:34):
He's gone?
Speaker 4 (19:35):
Now bye bye?
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Okay, do we have do we have Poppy checking in here?
You want to hear the latest?
Speaker 4 (19:46):
Done?
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Think right now, We've got Andrea. Let's go to Berkeley
here real fast. Huh she's from Andrea? Are you from California?
Are you from Uh?
Speaker 4 (19:58):
Now, she's from New York too, New York?
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Where Queens? Where are you from? Andrea Queens?
Speaker 11 (20:04):
Grew up a Mets fan? Not far from Chae Stadium.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
You know.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
I parked at the US Open one time to see
a Mets game. Oh yeah, I didn't realize they were
that close. I went with a girl and she's like, hey,
just park here for free. I was like, what park
in New York for free? She's like, yeah, just park
at the US Open.
Speaker 4 (20:26):
We walk over.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
It was fine. She was totally right.
Speaker 11 (20:28):
Yeah, no, that's pretty rare. You know, it's funny. I
just had to go into the kitchen and make a
peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Okay, Andrew, we.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
Need to know your method.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
How do you make the how do you construct her?
Speaker 11 (20:40):
Oh? Okay, I use an Orvana creamy peanut butter. I
put it on one side of the holy bread and
then I do a jelly on another spice or bread separate.
Then I put them together and I cut them in half.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Okay, I do like the one side and one side.
That's how Coop and I got it down. So we
are fans that do.
Speaker 9 (21:01):
You do the triangle haves or the thetangah?
Speaker 11 (21:06):
Of course regular square? Because I'm so hungry, I just
slice it in half. I don't get too fancy. It's like, yeah, it's.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
A diagonal cut.
Speaker 5 (21:15):
Yeah, the peanut butter and jelly has to be a
diagonal cut.
Speaker 11 (21:18):
Oh, I didn't even think of that. All right, I'll
try it next time. I'm so hungry with you guys
talking about It's like it's a little late midnight snacker.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
What the hell there you go?
Speaker 11 (21:31):
So it's interesting. I actually met Craig Carton at Radio
Row with Bloomer when the Super Bowl was in San
Francisco many moons ago, which is interesting.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
That's cool.
Speaker 11 (21:43):
Yea. I remember W S A N had a blue
stair and I go on their sports talk radio show,
so that was interesting news. But us I'm calling is
it's er time. But age fans have been accustomed to
the whole world got to see, Yeah, Miller young is
young in August twenty two, nineteen ninety eight, and you know,
(22:07):
he's a virgos is very practical and you know, very fastidious, disciplined,
kind of behind the scenes, doesn't really date look for
a lot of attention. And he said, we're an All
Star game record one oh three point five for a
fastball coming into a hitter.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
That's pretty crazy. That's heat right there. Andrea and we used.
Speaker 11 (22:32):
To just you know, the aspands. We're just used to like, oh,
it's Miller time, and they, you know, use that commercial
with the beer opening, and now it's Miller thriller. So
you know, made us as a hands It's be like, Wow,
we're really blessed and lucky we get to see this
all the time.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
So does this mean though, is he gonna Is he
gonna be on the Dodgers or the Yankees next year
after doing this on a big stage.
Speaker 11 (22:55):
Answer, that's a good question, as you and I know
the how should we say the don't really keep their
star players. Yeah, and he struck out o'tawny, so you
know he's a fireballer. He made history, so he's super young,
so you know, the world is at his h whatever
he wants. So it'll be interesting to see through the
(23:18):
hardest pitch and All Star Game history. So that's not
going to go unnoticed.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Yeah, yeah, he could be elsewhere. That's probably going to
be elsewhere.
Speaker 11 (23:26):
But true to see where he does end up, essentially
with the A's going to Sacramento the next two three
years and then who knows, you know, Las Vegas. But
he's super talented and it's just really great to see
him and get the accolades. Yeah, really deserves.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
I'm glad you enjoyed the All Star Game. That's nice, Andrea,
very nice.
Speaker 11 (23:46):
I've been watching that for many moons that it's like, Wow,
the American League really does win a lot more.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Than the next Yeah, ten of eleven, that's pretty crazy.
But we hope you enjoy the PB and J. We
appreciate you sharing the mats with us. Very nice and
you have a great morning there. Andrea. Always good to
hear from you very sweetly, Thank you very nice. Yes,
how about that eddie? You know, peanut butter one side,
(24:13):
jam or jelly on the other. You go jelly or jam.
Speaker 4 (24:15):
By the way, jelly.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
I'm team jam myself. You guys lorraina coop, you all
team jelly over there.
Speaker 14 (24:24):
There's like a real difference, right, Like one has seeds
in it and the other one doesn't.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Right.
Speaker 13 (24:30):
I just want to make sure I'm being clear about this,
that's right. Why are you laughing at me?
Speaker 4 (24:34):
Well, no, I just.
Speaker 11 (24:37):
No.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
You should hang up on it.
Speaker 13 (24:42):
Good idea.
Speaker 9 (24:43):
Yeah, I've got a button too, What are you gonna do?
Speaker 14 (24:50):
I do like the more real stuff though, same with
like orange marmalade. I really like orange marmalade because it
has the like the peels, like the rhinds in it,
So I like the chunky stuff.
Speaker 9 (24:58):
Okay, well, having the rhinds in there, that's kind of weird.
I don't know about that. But either one is good.
You don't opinion? Yeah, you're fine either way.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
I go jam, just the easier, easier spread.
Speaker 9 (25:12):
Because like, you can find some more exotic jams easier
than you can find exotic jellies.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
I think.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
The traditionalists. It's great.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Grape.
Speaker 9 (25:24):
Grape is amazing, and the strawberry is great. The to
the two ogs, they're fantastic. But every now and then,
like you know, if you want to like throw some
like peach jam in there, like okay, they have that.
Speaker 13 (25:37):
Like triple berry one too. Yes, that has like the
it has like a red and white top on it.
Speaker 6 (25:42):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 7 (25:48):
Back to Major League Baseball, where Commissioner Rob Manfred had
some news that he let go there at the All
Star at festivities, he says that Major League Baseball players
could compete in the twenty eight twenty eight Los Angeles Olympics.
That is, oh wow, that's a weasel word though, as
Ben would say, because they also could not participate, so
(26:10):
seeing that they could is not really say much, but
he says that they're still open to that possibility. He
also said the legal test robot umpires as part of
a challenge system during spring training in twenty twenty five,
and that could another weasel word that could lead to
a regular season use of the robot umpires in twenty
twenty six.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
I hate the description of robot umps. Maybe I'm just dumb.
I can't be the only one who thinks this. I'm like,
wait a minute, so you're getting rid of the homeplate umpire.
They're like, no, no, no, it's just basically replay. So why
don't you just call it that? Why don't you just
call it replay? Right for balls and strikes? Sometimes they
(26:53):
call it abs, like automatic balls and strikes. I don't
understand the description of robot umps. That's the almost way
to describe it to me, because it's like, that's not
even what it's.
Speaker 7 (27:04):
Well, it does make you think that there's going to
be like a you know, ye right right, that's not
the case. Now it's you know, we've had this in tennis,
right with the with the Lions, and they can challenge that,
and then soccer has that what did they call it,
the var video assistant referee or something.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Like yeah, yep, yep.
Speaker 4 (27:29):
It's not new.
Speaker 7 (27:30):
But we say, and we watched the games, we see
that little square, right, we know that's a strike or not.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
So, you know, if it's as efficient as tennis replay is,
I'm totally fine with this. If this is like slow
and tedious and it's not streamlined. No thanks, I just
hope they have the bugs worked out. It's fast. I'm
good with it.
Speaker 7 (27:51):
Like I mean, I know you said earlier and I
was going to comment on it, but you talked about
talking to the players on the field. I'm I'm fine
with that, especially for a nexhission game. Although I did
not care for them trying to talk to the pitchers
while they were pitching and it didn't work.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
I think it was Eric's scoobal right, it was. It
was like, it's really loud.
Speaker 4 (28:12):
Yeah, I'm not I was not a fan of that.
Speaker 7 (28:14):
I don't any other position I'm okay with because they're
kind of standing around, but the starting pitcher and nah,
let's not do that.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Oh man. That was funny, Yeah, because uh, Joe asked
him a question and he's just like, it's really loud
right now. I don't even know if you're talking to me.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
It's loud. He's getting ready to wipe ouah.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Yeah, it was a whole interview right there.
Speaker 4 (28:36):
So did you want the home run derby? Nothing?
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Just yeah, that didn't work out very well. That wasn't good,
but it was good because he was miked up. It
was when Alec Boem he flied out to like deep
center or something, and that's when Schooball went up to him.
He's like, hey, what do I have to do to
get your not barrel of ball? You know what I mean?
Like little stuff like that is it's cool when you
(29:01):
or when it was Aaron Judge and Juan Soto they
were talking to each other in the outfield and they
were miked up, like some of that stuff is cool.
I like that where you get to hear what they're
talking about. But yeah, the uh.
Speaker 4 (29:16):
Trey Turner talking about his oversized belt.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
Yeah, some of that's fun. I like that stuff. So,
by the way, the crazy thing that Coop said, yeah,
you know you were like, you know, you're feisty with
me over Brownie James flash out. You're very feisty. I
want some feisty Garcia when I let you know what
(29:39):
this low life coop had to say here, Okay, he
told me he was like, if if I had to
eat one food for the rest of my life, I
would choose bagels. That's his one food for the Have
Adam tell me have Adam.
Speaker 4 (29:59):
I don't. I I mean, I am not a bagel fan.
My wife and I were talking about this.
Speaker 9 (30:05):
Bagels are so amazing, dense, they're just you, just you.
Speaker 5 (30:13):
Maybe you just haven't had the right bagel.
Speaker 4 (30:15):
I mean, I.
Speaker 7 (30:17):
Mean most things are pretty good, like fresh out of
an oven. I've never had a bagel that was like
right right out of an oven. Maybe, but well, okay.
He bought some bagels the other day from the store
and from the grocery store. No, yeah, and I was like, man,
these these suck. Let's never buy these again.
Speaker 9 (30:32):
Well no, because they put they put like preservatives in
the ones that are on the shelves that those bagels
are not good. You gotta get like bagels from a
bagel shop.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
You know what, I'm gonna do that Coop. I'm gonna
take the coop challenge. I'm gonna report back because here's
the thing. I'll leave the door cracked where they might
not be the worst thing on earth.
Speaker 7 (30:54):
Even if they're not. Though, that's a pretty I think, Ruth. You, Brian,
that's a pretty outrageous statement to say the one food
for the rest of my.
Speaker 4 (31:01):
Life is bagel.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
Listen, listen.
Speaker 7 (31:03):
I mean, I love donuts, but even like saying that
would be kind of crazy.
Speaker 9 (31:07):
Well, no, because my thing is and I guess I
should have clarified this with with Brian. You can do
so much with bagels that I could have a bagel
every day of my life, for almost every meal and
not get sick of it because you can in.
Speaker 13 (31:23):
The morning pizza bagel, in the afternoon.
Speaker 14 (31:26):
Exactly exactly, you can do a breakfast bagel.
Speaker 7 (31:31):
So that's like if you had answered, I could have
bread for the rest of my life, and then you're saying, well,
I could do so many things.
Speaker 13 (31:39):
I mean, technically yes, but I would.
Speaker 9 (31:41):
I would get if if I was like if I
had to have like sliced bread every single day, I
would get sick of it, like I would I would
want to change it up. But bagels are so good.
I would never get sick of bagels. And it's and
it's it's it's more kind of like if I thought, Okay,
(32:04):
somebody was gonna take away one thing, that's what I
wouldn't want taken away.
Speaker 4 (32:10):
Well, they could take my bagels.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
I'm fine, Yeah, you can absolutely have them.
Speaker 14 (32:14):
Okay, you know what you need to try though, and
everything bagel toasted with hallapano cream cheese on it.
Speaker 5 (32:20):
Hmm, that's all I thought it was an everything cheese bagel.
Speaker 13 (32:25):
No, the cheese is.
Speaker 14 (32:26):
A dollar ten extra, and I think that's ridiculous for
a slice of cheese.
Speaker 13 (32:30):
I'm just doing regular.
Speaker 4 (32:31):
I pay a dollar ten for a slice of cheese.
I like cheese that much.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
Eddie your team donuts. That was my, uh my response
to Coop. I'm like, give me a donut all day
over a dry bagel that you have to dress up
with cream cheese. And he's like, it's breakfast food, right, Like,
how is that bad?
Speaker 4 (32:53):
Donuts?
Speaker 9 (32:53):
Love donuts, but they don't hold a candle, not over
a bagel.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Oh my gosh, Wow, so much variety with donuts.
Speaker 5 (33:03):
There's so much variety with bagels too.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
I don't buy it.
Speaker 9 (33:06):
What do you you've got like cinnamon crunch bagels, you
got blueberry bagels, strawberrygels.
Speaker 13 (33:11):
Everything is there? Healthier than donuts too?
Speaker 4 (33:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (33:14):
Absolutely, I don't care about that. That's why we're not
in it for health. Yeah, well, it's a tasty goodness.
Speaker 5 (33:21):
Look I don't know.
Speaker 9 (33:22):
I mean, in a sense, you might be right about
it being healthier than a bagel or than a donut,
but the problem is I feel like, no, you're right
you're right, You're right.
Speaker 5 (33:33):
It's well, I.
Speaker 9 (33:34):
Was gonna say, because I could eat like several bagels
in a row, They're so delicious. But I could also
I and I have eaten many donuts in a row
and been in a bad spot.
Speaker 5 (33:47):
Larida's witnessed that you.
