Schwarber locking in with the Philadelphia Phillies as he signs
an extension. He was getting offers from the Red Sox

(00:21):
and the Mets and the Orioles and a bunch of
other teams, but he stays in Philadelphia. Also, what are
the Phillies saying by extending manager Rob Thompson despite the

Bomiti Bomiti Bomiti Bomba, It's the schwarp bomb. Welcome in
begaining of another hour of the Ben Mathers Show.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
We are in the air ev reware one on one
as we offer tasty temptations coast to coast, Port to
Borter and beyond on the vast and elegantly powerful microphones

Speaker 1 (01:23):
Am monating live from the tier as in the tear
Drop Jumper. That's right from the world famous Fox Sports
Radio studios. And this hour made possible in part by
our friends at tire Rack. For over forty years, Tyraq
has been helping customers like Dominican Mike, the Globe Trekker,

(01:45):
and Jerome and Charleston find the right tires for how,
what and where they drive, ship fast and free back
by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like
mobile tire installation tire rack dot com. The way that
tire buying should be. The late night drug tester says, Hey, Ben,

(02:06):
what about that HALion? That's right? That's right. Every goal
starts with an assist on and off the field. That's
why Haleyon and US Soccer are launching for the Assist,
a celebration of everyday acts of support that help people
achieve their goals with iconic brands like Censinon, Tom's, Voltaian,
Advil and Centrum. To learn more, go to haileyon assist

(02:32):
dot com. That's h A L. E O. N. Haileyon
assist dot com. So our lead this hour from baseball.
I love talking about you're talking too much baseball. I
don't care what's wrong with you? This I winter minutes
and I'm on doing it over at So my bosses
are sleeping, I can talk baseball. They don't even know

(02:53):
about this. So our lead story is from the Hot
Stove League in Orlando, a Mickey Mouse town there. So
Kyle Schwarber has found a new contract, the runner up
in the MVP voting. Did you find out? Where were
you paying attention? Now? You have a family, you have

(03:13):
a life, you have responsibilities. You're a grown up. Okay,
well we'll help you out if you missed it. So
we have learned now that slugger Kyle Schwarbert has agreed
to a five year contract for one hundred and fifty
million dollars. He will be taking his talents two the Phillies.

(03:37):
He's staying in Philadelphia. He gets a five year contract,
a bunker down in the city of brotherly Love. And
he was the runner up in the MVP voting this
past year. Didn't have a great batting average, but fifty
six bombs and a National League leading one hundred and
thirty two ribbies. That's a lot of ribbies. Joey Chestnutt

(03:58):
could not eat one hundred and thirty two ribby in
eight minutes. That's a lot of ribbies. So Schwarber, there
was a bidding war for a dh There was a
bidding war for this guy between the Mets, the Red Sox,
the Orioles, and the Tomato can pirates. They decided to
have some fun and pretend like they were investing in him,
and also the hometown Reds. If only Justin and Cincinnati

(04:22):
had gone to more Reds games and just Josh, they
would have been able to have enough money to offer
him enough to go there his hometown team, Kyle Schwarber,
but he decides to go back to the team he
had been playing for. That is a good jumping off point.
Let us discuss the question thumbs up, thumbs down, thumbs upper,

(04:43):
thumbs down on Kyle Schwarber locking in with the fighting phills.
All right, that is the question. What is the answer.
So my thoughts on this. I've got old shoe, babysitter
and snake charmer, and we will combine all all of
these things together and you and I are going to

(05:04):
have a delicious mud pie. Now, the mud pie is
not as good as the banana cream pie or a
traditional apple pie, or a lemon meringue pie or a
key lime pie. However, if you get the proper mud pie,
it's still pretty good. Still pretty good, all right. So,
first of all, in terms of the question thumbs up

(05:27):
and thumbs down at Kyle Schwarber, I'm gonna go thumb
way up, up, up, and away is what I'm gonna
do here. Thumbs up and listen. This guy is like
a Kyle Schwarber home run which brushes the ozone layer.
He had a couple of these against the Dodgers this
past season, and he's done it against just about everybody

(05:49):
in baseball, as he had fifty six runs. But Kyle
Schwarber just pulled off the do the impossible, see the
pie invisible move. He did the impossible, he saw the
invisible in the offseason of baseball. That was his move.
Now what do I mean by that? Explain that in
Layman's terms, So, getting the tight wad outfits like the

(06:13):
Reds and the Pirates to rummage through their sofa to
get some change and bid on Kyle Schwarber, that is
the definition of do the impossible, see the invisible. The
Pirates have been invisible for years, and so of the
Reds for the most part. And big money pickups. So
that's not free agency. That's the Big Bopper Bachelor. It's

(06:39):
like The Bachelor with the big Bopper there, Major League
Baseball edition and in the end, like the Bachelor. In
the final rose ceremony, Kyle Schwarber looked at Dave Dombrowski
dead in the eye and he said, Dave Dombrowski, will
you accept this rose? And Dave Dombrowski said, I will.
Why are we doing this with a rose? I don't understand,
but we're doing it okay. So this just fits. It's cozy,

(07:03):
it's comfortable. It's like slipping something on an old shoe,
is what it's like. You've had it for years. You
put that shoe on, it just feels right. You've walked
in that shoe. It just feels good. And Citizens Bank
Park plays like it was built by the Williamsport grounds crew.

(07:26):
It's a bandbox there, it's a fund zone, and it's
Kyle Schwarber's happy place. The Cathedral of clobbering for Kyle Schwarber,
left handed lumberjack and fun to watch play if you
just love the home run. It's fun to watch this
guy play and Swarp bombs forever. For Kyle Swarp, the

(07:48):
only issue is the Phillies, it appears, have messed this up.
They've watched this entire window up. The last three or
four years have been the window for the Phillies, and
they have squad douche to show for these great teams.
So so Dombrowski. Nonetheless, the GM there in Philadelphia can
take out the sharpie, not the pencil. Not the pencil.

(08:09):
He can take out the sharpie Dombrowski, and it can
write thirty five to forty five home runs every year,
every year. For Kyle Schwarber, he's old faithful. He's old faithful,
erupting dingers on a dependable schedule since joining the Phillies.
Here's a fun fact. Since joining the Phillies in twenty

(08:31):
twenty two, I was barely alive back then, But since
joining the Phillies in twenty twenty two on a four
year contract for like eighty million dollars, he has hit
at least thirty eight home runs. Kyle Schwarber thirty eight
home runs every single season, four years in a row.
Now thirty eight or more home runs for Kyle Schwarber

(08:51):
and the man hits moonballs. Like the people over at
Tasty Cake make cupcakes and early often and with no shame,
no oh shame on their name at all. So thumbs up,
way up for Kyle Schwarber and the Phillies staying put there. Secondly,
also the Philadelphia Phillies making a move in terms of

(09:12):
their coaching staff. And we'll crack the liberty bell. Well
it's already cracked, all right, fine, we'll crack it open
some more here and see the move. The Phillies are
keeping the band together, not just Kyle Schwarber, the club
and manager Rob Thompson, a proud Canadian lad. Rob Thompson,
has signed an extension that runs through twenty twenty seven.

(09:37):
Thompson took over as the Phillies skipper in the middle
of that twenty twenty two season and they whacked Joe
Girardi because he was too mean to the players. They
wanted a nice guy, so they brought in a nice
guy and that's the guy they got. So the question
what did the Phillies say? What is the message by
the Phillies extending manager Rob Thompson. So this is not

(10:01):
a thunderbolt from Zeus. It is not that this is
the classic middle management maintenance that we have seen in
this era of baseball. I would put this in the
same category as Aaron Boone with the New York Yankees
and Dave Roberts with the Dodgers. Who are you talking about?

Speaker 3 (10:18):
The Dodgers keep.

Speaker 1 (10:19):
Winning the World Series now because the Dave Roberts, they
keep winning the World Series. It's push button piloting, push
button piloting, the aircraft designed by the nerds, the analytical
department in the back room with their Ivy League degrees.
That's it. The Phillies are essentially telling you that, hey,

(10:40):
we like our babysitter. We have a good nanny. We
like the babysitter. He keeps the star children from drawing
on the walls and fighting with each other, and it's
all good here. And that's fine. I got no skin
in the game on this. But until October rolls around
and the Philly have constantly been failures. Now you say, well,

(11:02):
it doesn't matter because the manager doesn't play. And that's true. However,
for about one hundred years in baseball, when a team
underachieved on the big stage. There was the coach that
paid the price. That has changed now those poltergeist postseason
performances for the Philadelphia Phillies, especially this year against the Dodgers.

(11:25):
Listen that they've screwed this up. I believe the window.
It's not completely closed. And we'll see what moves the
Phillies make, whether they keep Rangers Suarez and enhance the roster.
Like a crockpot at this point, it's not on fire,
they're not deep frying. It's like a crockpot. So slow

(11:46):
cooker is what it is. And so Thompson gets praised
for managing egos. That's the selling point of keeping the manager,
which is great. Mazeltov, however, not exactly getting anywhere close
to the bling, bling, the ring ring and all that stuff.
So this move screams of stability over swagger, and in reality,

(12:09):
these teams are saying, even if we fire the mayor,
the Yankees, Dodgers and Phillies. And the Phillies don't even
use analytics as much because Dombrowski's got these old school tendencies,
but they have an analytical department and they still it's
a big part of what they do. The point is, though,
even if these guys got fired, they just hire their doppelganger,
Like if they got rid of Aaron Boone, they take
another sock puppet who used to play, so they could

(12:31):
sell that to the fans in New York and that
would be the Skipper. And that's how that goes, all right.
So final thought, we go back to the Winter Meetings
and a conversation that a lot of people have been having,
what about Pete Alonso? What about the Polar Bear? So
a bunch of people gathered there at the Mickey Mouse

(12:52):
Resort and the Polar Bear happened to be there. Free
agent first baseman Pete Alonzo drove from his off season
home in the Tampa area to hold in person talks
at the meetings with those that are trying to give
him the puppy dog eyes and convince him to go

(13:13):
to the bedroom. So the question why would Pete Alonso
show up at the Winter Meetings in person? This is
not normally how this stuff is done in recent years,
So why show up in person? So this is what's
known as a tell with a capital T. When a
big league established star player, in this case slugger Pete Alonzo,

(13:39):
when they get in their car and drive, in this
case from Tampa to the happiest place on Earth, and
it ain't. It's not because Mickey Mouse said, I want
you to come over and I want you to hang
out with Donald Duck and Goofy And what about or
E or is not there? We can't get or I
want to talk to er is not available. I'm sorry.

(14:02):
So the teams that are interested, the Red Sox and
the Orioles. I understand Peter Alonzo's had some zoom meetings,
still doing that post pandemic. So it is a tell, right,
It is a tell here and Peter Alonzo showed up
because how do I say this? The offers ain't offering.

(14:25):
It is more likely than not. It is more likely
than not that if the polar bear peede Alonzo had
two or three teams bidding and giving him mega bag offers,
mega mega megabag offers, and he had big money offers
on the table and he was deciding which direction do
I want to go. If that was the case, then

(14:48):
he would be sitting on the beach somewhere in a
beach chair, and he'd be sipping a protein shake and
not driving down I four like a man chasing his
law luggage. That would not be the case at all here.
So this is Boris Ball Scott Wars. He's a Scott
Bars guy. And so Scott Bars is standing kind of

(15:11):
behind the curtain. Think of this like the classic movie
The Wizard of Oz. And he's the one Boris who's
pulling the levers, and he's pushing some buttons and the
thing of a jig and the two hickey and the
watch mccallat and all that. And he's telling Alonzo, listen,
you go out there and you flash. I want you

(15:32):
to flash your amazing smile. Just go out there and
do your thing. I just yes, you've got the charisma,
you've got the wow factor all that stuff. And so
you go in there and you be the snake charmer.

Speaker 4 (15:50):
You have to do it.

Speaker 1 (15:51):
You have to be the snake charmer. And you have
to mesmerize the red sox, you have to hypnotize the orioles.
And then they'll give you the bag. They'll give you
what you want and crank up the slot machine. Chi ching,
che ching, chi ching. So it's fair to say that
the market is not there for Alonso. Otherwise he wouldn't
be doing this right. When the market's cold, you bring

(16:11):
out the heavy heater. In this case, you just show up.
So Alonzo is selling the sizzle, the charisma and all that.
He's not just chasing the bag, He's trying to create
the bag. There's sounds that's the actual sizzle right there.
We spare no expense on the Ben Malors Show. We

(16:33):
have amazing sound effects there.

Speaker 4 (16:35):

Speaker 5 (21:53):
You go.

Speaker 1 (21:53):
Let's go to the phones, and if you speak of
the bus driver, the bus driver, I'll appear, ladies and gentlemen, legend,
the most famous bus driver in all of America. Roberto,
our friend, Roberto. Welcome. I don't hear him. Did he

(22:16):
pass out?

Speaker 4 (22:17):
Houston?

Speaker 8 (22:18):
We have a problem.

Speaker 1 (22:19):
Do you think he passed out? Do you think Roberto
Roberto used to work here on the show. He was online?
You think he fell asleep. He did tell me that
he was drinking, okay, but I also copious amounts of alcohol.
He also texted me like five minutes ago, so okay,
but the lines punched up. He's online too, and I

(22:40):
don't know there he goes, all right, Well, that was
a great conversation with Roberto. Good to catch up. Go
down memory lane the good old days on the show.
Let's say hello to Andrea, she's in Berkeley. We do
have coming up too much or not enough? And also
later this hour the Queen of Hearts with Lorraine. But
let's go to our astrology insider. When strology news breaks,

(23:02):
we fix it with Andrea.

Speaker 3 (23:05):
Yes, Hi, Ben, how are you?

Speaker 1 (23:07):
If I was any better, I'd be Roberto, but not
Roberto the bus driver, because he just I guess, fell asleep. Yeah,
I know.

Speaker 3 (23:14):
I'm kind of fading myself.

Speaker 1 (23:16):
Oh no, everyone's fading. Everyone's fading. I gotta stay awake
for another hour and a half.

Speaker 3 (23:21):
Come on, Well it's okay. You got the energy to
do just that, so good for you. So yeah, I
just had to call in because obviously I've seen Edwin
Diaz pitch a lot, and he has quite the aries aura.
He's got a lot of fire, and you know, I'm
kind of sorry to see him go. He's March twenty second,

(23:43):
nineteen ninety four. He just had a sad in return,
which is a cycle of ending to the new beginnings.
So in some ways it makes sense that he wanted
to move on. But that Timmy Trumpet thing, Ben, that's
really gonna be fun. I don't know if he's still
going to carry that tradition over to the dodge.

Speaker 1 (24:02):
And by the way, Ozzie was listening in Australia says
he's in Timmy Trumpet's an Australian guy.

Speaker 3 (24:07):
But that, oh yeah, I didn't know, okay, because that
was really fun, like win lose your draw when he would,
you know, come.

Speaker 1 (24:15):
In, Yeah, that's a good songs. I like that so Narco.
It's a solid song.

Speaker 3 (24:20):
Yeah, it's just really playful and it's set the tone.

Speaker 1 (24:23):
Well, you don't have to give it up. If you
want to be a Dodger fan, Andrew, I can. I
can swear you in as a Dodger fan. You can
take the Dodger fan oath, and of course we'll have
to defer your fanhood for a number of years, but
we can bring you in there, no problem.

Speaker 3 (24:36):
Oh that's okay. I mean I'll still loose for him
in my own way. And I'm just worried. I hope
Peter Lonzo's days. I mean, you know, Nimo is gone.
I'm getting a little worried about the Mets right now with.

Speaker 1 (24:47):
Uh changing, you're changing the names. The names are changing here.
The team will stay the same. The names are changing.
The name of the Mets will be the same. But yeah,
some of the regulars and one so they don't win,
you got to change it up.

Speaker 3 (25:00):
Yeah, I mean Peter Alonzo, he talks about mercury retrograde.
He's this cool sagittarius, you know, I mean, Steve Code.
It's not for lack of money, as we all know,
you can just you know, open the checkbook and take people.
So I hope it leaves T six around. But hey,
the Mets loss is a Dodgers game, and I hope

(25:21):
they enjoy.

Speaker 1 (25:22):
Well, well, we'll see, we'll see. Uh the Dodgers they
won last offseason. They got the top closer, Tanner Scott,
who then vomited all over the mound all season. So
who knows, you know, you don't know how that's going
to go. We'll find out. But Andrew, listen, get some sleep,
all right, thank you? I appreciate that. There she goes
our friend Andrea from care virgoing service on X the

(25:44):
Astrology Insider. The bus driver has called back, get that
dump button ready, our friend Roberto, and what I'm told Roberto,
is it your birthday? Is that correct? Roberto?

Speaker 4 (25:57):
Correct you?

Speaker 1 (25:58):
Hear me? I can't hear you. I can't I can't
he can you hear? I can't hear? Can you hear?

Speaker 7 (26:06):
I can't hear anything.

Speaker 1 (26:07):
It's unfortunately, we can't hear Roberto. Is some guy named
Roberto used to work on the show, never heard of.
You don't know who that is?

Speaker 4 (26:14):
Hear me?

Speaker 1 (26:15):
I don't know who that is?

Speaker 7 (26:17):
Used to work on the show. I was, Yeah, the
one kid with the red hair.

Speaker 1 (26:22):
Oh yeah, he worked here for like two days. He
couldn't handle the overnights, so he left. Yeah, is that
is that?

Speaker 5 (26:26):
Roberto?

Speaker 1 (26:27):
Roberto?

Speaker 3 (26:29):
Hear me?

Speaker 1 (26:30):
Cool?

Speaker 5 (26:30):
Can you hear?

Speaker 1 (26:31):
Coop? Can you hear Roberto?

Speaker 9 (26:35):
You know, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (26:36):
I don't know why why you're laughing, Coop, I don't
know why you would be laughing. It's very serious. We
want to talk to Roberta. We love Roberta, We miss Roberto.
Roberto is a baseball guy, you know, that's right. He is.
Come on, he's drunk, he can't. This is that's what
we do, Coop. We mess with drunk people. That's what
we get paid to do. We goof on drunk people

(26:57):
to call us whether they used to work here. You'd
think Roberto, who is part of the bit, You'd think
he would have known, because how many times did I
do that bit with Roberto? I mean, oh my god,
he's so hammered. All right, I'm hoping he's not. He's

(27:21):
not working in the morning later. All right, Well, he's gone,
So let's play the game. What do you say? I
want to play the game here?

Speaker 4 (27:30):
Why not?

Speaker 1 (27:30):
We'll play with Ben Meller game of too Much or
Not Enough. I seriously did not think that would work
even a Schnocker state. Clearly, Roberto in a Schnocker state, Well,
there's no way that bit's gonna actually work. And it
worked so impressed shows you how intoxicated Roberto is. Okay,

(27:55):
let's let's have some fun. It's too much or not Enough.

Before I don't want to take up much of your time,
but your call, greed A might have missed me. I
was actually calling from out of the Oakland Coliseum. Might
also think of when he used to stay at Riverfront
or the new Cincinnati Stadium. You know, I'm actually doing
like that to you know, get my train on and everything. Hey,
but one more thing, I want to tell the Rain that,

(29:11):
oh my god, I always your voice was so pretty,
but then I looked on you have to be the
prettiest woman in this thought of the equator. That's all
I gotta say.

Speaker 1 (29:20):
Wow, it's a filter.

Speaker 5 (29:21):
Thank you?

Speaker 4 (29:22):
All right?

Speaker 1 (29:22):

like to play? Okay?

Speaker 4 (29:26):
All right?

Speaker 1 (29:26):
That Quins see that a big fan the Rain. You
made her smile? She smile.

Speaker 4 (29:33):
Man, I'm blessing too, all right.

Speaker 1 (29:35):
Everyone's I'm not smiling. I'm serious here we go too
much or not enough? Good luck for that, Quin's LP
and you get three right to win the game? Question
number one. Jalen Brunson. Jalen Brunson has now had thirty
five thirty five point games as a member of the Knickerboxers.

(29:57):
Is that too much or not enough?

Speaker 4 (30:02):
I would say that's too much?

Speaker 1 (30:05):
All right, says the answer is not enough. He's had
damn all right, all right, it's not over. Yeah, he
has a forty five thirty five point games.

Speaker 4 (30:16):
Wow, I didn't know he was following at all.

Speaker 3 (30:19):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (30:19):
Yeah, he's been great with the Knicks. Yeah, he's been
really good. All Our question number two this Cincinnati ben
Gals have lost seven games this decade when scoring thirty
or more points? Is that too much or not enough?

Speaker 4 (30:35):
I would say that's not enough because they haven't had
a great defense cout this decade year. I would better
find enough.

Speaker 1 (30:42):
That's correct, you're on the board.

Speaker 4 (30:43):
Look at that.

Speaker 1 (30:44):
Yeah, they've lost ten games this decade.

Speaker 4 (30:48):
Has been throwing them may throughout the ball and they
still moved.

Speaker 1 (30:51):
Yeah, that's true. Our question number three for Quinzel from
the coliseum. You know, is that still they're gonna tear
that thing down the colliseume?

Speaker 4 (31:02):
Oh man, I don't, oh man, I don't want to
start crying. Where am I gonna live that?

Speaker 5 (31:06):
Dude?

Speaker 4 (31:06):
Man?

Speaker 1 (31:09):
All right, all right, gotcha? I got question number three
for Quins l There were six players in the NFL
with one hundred plus rushing yards in Week fourteen? Is
that too much or not enough?

Speaker 4 (31:26):
I would think that I'm gonna say that too much.

Speaker 1 (31:32):
That's right, look at you too much? There were only
four Jalen Wright, Sequon Barkley, Blake Krum, and Tony Pollard.
You're doing very well.

Speaker 4 (31:42):
You know, later on in the season gets a little
harder to run the ball or you know. I think
I don't know for some reason.

Speaker 1 (31:50):
Yeah, it's good. You should replace Troy Aikman. On Monday
Night Football, Quins oe with that that kind of oh yeah,
do you play? Collins were on NBC two Question number four,
Here we go, Shooter Sanders is only the third Browns
quarterback to have a game with three hundred and fifty
plus passing yards, three plus passing touchdowns, and one plus

(32:12):
rushing touchdown. Is that too much or not enough? Shooter
sayings being the third Browns quarterback all.

Speaker 9 (32:18):
Time to have that stat line, M so Van he
would be only the third, So uh too much would
be like, uh yeah, too much will be there?

Speaker 4 (32:31):
Nobody is I think nobody.

Speaker 1 (32:33):
Nobody's done that. So your answer is talent, not more
than him.

You heard the man? It is time for love of
here on the Ben Malice Show that it is.

Speaker 1 (36:03):
These are actual questions by actual listeners. Lorena and we'll
start with Esteban, who writes and he says, I was
telling my wife if I was going to trade her
in like a car two miles. I thought it was funny,
it was a joke, but now she won't talk to me.

Speaker 10 (36:20):
Yeah, you know, you should probably get her an oil
change and uh maybe a tire rotation.

Speaker 1 (36:27):
She might want to trade you in.

Speaker 7 (36:30):
A nice new coat. Of paints. Maybe on her toes.
Might do the trick.

Speaker 1 (36:35):
Uh huh, you know, like a manny and a petty type.

Speaker 7 (36:38):
Treat her like a new car, get her shined up.

Speaker 1 (36:40):
All right? So maybe look at you, Rob, Look at
you Rob. The goat Man writes, and he says, with
Christmas right around the corner, what is the perfect gift
for a girlfriend or wife?

Speaker 5 (36:51):
Well?

Speaker 1 (36:51):
This is very difficult, just one answer, right, Lora. You
can't really do one thing.

Speaker 10 (36:56):
Every girl has their own things. Like maybe the last
guy is wife doesn't want to look at him. But
I think personal time, Like a lot of people are
busy these days, So actually planning something, taking that time
to make it feel special, like taking her out to
Christmas lights.

Speaker 7 (37:12):
Oh my gosh, a Christmas night light thing with the
hot coffee or hot.

Speaker 1 (37:17):
Chocolate bought the there's the light in here, that's the
leg with the you see the light over here?

Speaker 9 (37:22):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (37:24):
Yeah, you can make your own Christmas story at home. Yeah,
set up a camera that sounds fun.

Speaker 1 (37:28):
Sure, there's a leg lamp in here. Yeah. Ferg Dog
writes and he says, if I can't get a girlfriend
in time for the family Christmas parties, it's okay to
hire a hooker to be my date.

Speaker 7 (37:41):
Yeah, escorts are great choices to take with two family.

Speaker 1 (37:44):
One of my favorite stories when I used to go
to the holiday party these the company used to have
these big holiday parties. Used to Yeah, I don't go anymore.
They give appetizer. But I used to have these gallop
parties like the Beverly Hills Hotel. And one year, in
the early days of Fox Sports Radio, one of the
guys brought a escort to the holiday party and it
was the funniest thing because all the wives were so

(38:06):
upset because they knew she was dressed like an escort,
and it was the funniest thing. I have fund memories
of that holiday party. She was she was showing what
her her special skills, her I don't know how to
describe it here assets.

Speaker 7 (38:22):
Did the slits go up a little bit?

Speaker 1 (38:24):
Yeah, And the other women were so it was snickering.
It was so good. It was so good. Well, good
luck for a dog on that. Yeah, yeah, money well spent.
Let's take a call. Blind Scott is calling in from
the North end of Boston. Blind Scott taking He's taking
it easy now of the holiday season and all that stuff.
But for you, lorraina blind Scott ending the hiatus to call.

I just want to send condolences to Rick Razak. He's
a program director at the Sports Harvey Laton's father condolences.
But hey, dude, So I have a partner who's twenty.
They live in Omaha, and I'm thinking about moving them here.
They said they'll be legal age of twenty one in July.
They live in a foster home right now. I met
them in a K pop dem in Hunter's chat. I'm
forty three. I just celebrated the birthday last Friday. So

(39:10):
my partner who's twenty could move in and I could
make them my Medicare assistant and they can get paid
for medicare well where I do not want a partner
to live with me, and I am very difficult person structurally.
I think a twenty year old who's grown up in
foster care might be a good type of partner for me,
as I am more responsible than them and we can
help each other in life.

Speaker 7 (39:31):
You know what this is giving. It's giving, Predator, it's giving.

Speaker 10 (39:35):
You're on a kid's movie site trying to catch some
young ends who don't know no better. I think if
you need help in and around the house, you should
specify that differently than your partnership in a relationship.

Speaker 1 (39:50):
Well, in fairness to blind Scott, he is a He's
a legendary grifter. You'd admit that, Blind Scott. This would
be the ultimate grift if you could pull that off.

Speaker 8 (39:58):
So I don't want to date this person necess her.
They're in a hostile state where they have nowhere to live,
you know what I mean?

Speaker 7 (40:05):
But predatory you're taking someone is in a bad situation.

Speaker 4 (40:09):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.

Speaker 8 (40:14):

they're very queeny.

Speaker 1 (40:18):
Okay, all right, all right, all right, so your vice, Lorena,
I don't think you sure right, don't do that? Scott
keg drinking Steve, Hello, Keig drinking Steve.

Speaker 3 (40:27):

Speaker 7 (40:40):
They don't that's the problem.
