Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our na Bear three. Don't bury
the lead my man talking bays Ball, snapcrack of Land
Pop talking bas ball. So big story here show hey Otani.
It sounds like his season is about over for the
Angels a ligament issue. Not sure whether he'll need Tommy
(00:23):
John surgery or not. But the Angels don't seem very optimistic.
So where is the worry oh meter for sho hey
o'tani as he heads to free agency and what he
was expecting and many people in baseball thought would be
a record setting contract? Does he still get that record
setting contract? Also, how does Brian Cashman's very blunt assessment
(00:47):
of the yankees season change the story in the Bronx?
And how would you classify John Fisher's comments he's the
owner in Oakland, He's moving to Vegas. How do you
class of as comments about the A's. We'll talk about
that as well. Right now here it is our number
three singing the blues at the Big A. Welme in
(01:13):
the beginning of another hour of the Ben Malor Show.
We are in the air everywhere, just like nextdoor neighbors,
as we dominate the darkest hour coast to coast, port
of the Border and beyond on the vast and ginormously
powerful microphones of FSRE emmating live from the line, the
(01:39):

Tire rack dot com The Way tire Buying show me
(02:02):
and I leave this hour coming from baseball. Story that
broke just before we cracked the microphones here at FSR
for the overnight show, and it's about the unicorn of
Major League Baseball. In a few months, the biggest story
in sport is going to be taking place in a
(02:22):
boardroom somewhere. It's the Hot Stove League Free Agency Show.
Hey Otani, cha ching, Chaching, Chiching. There have been stories
estimating Otani's going to get six hundred million, seven hundred million,
eight hundred million, a billion dollars. Otani expected to break
(02:44):
the glass ceiling for free agent bonanzas in baseball, but
he ended up in the sports fodder for all the
wrong reasons. On Wednesday. If you didn't see this, maybe
not now Tani the Angels playing a double header because
their ground screw couldn't get the field ready for the
game on Monday, even though it didn't rain on Monday anyway. Shoot,
(03:04):
he hit a home run of the first inning. He
then left the first game of the doubleheader against Cincinnati
in Anaheim there and the second inning with arm fatigue,
and he ended that out of his first outing in
two weeks, just twenty six pitches. We later learned that
Otani has been diagnosed with a torn ligament in his elbow,
(03:25):
the UCL, which often leads to TJ as in Tommy
John surgery. So let us discuss where is the worry
oh meter for show Hey Otani? Now, the malor worry
ometer one to ten, with ten being kneading anxiety meds.
(03:48):
The show Hey Otani malor worryometer is at a nine
point out. Nine point oh. That is boiling over, that
is throwing things, that is power your fist into the wall.
It's all of those things. So I've got emoji, confessional
(04:08):
booth and cotton candy, and we will combine all of
these things together and we are going to make a
brand spanking new kadaver ligament, which I know if you've
already done Tommy John, which Otani has, do they take
a kadaver ligament? Is Ferg Kat one of our listeners
(04:29):
willing to donate his ligaments to Otani if he signs
with the Angels. I don't know, all right, So we're
gonna combine all these things. So, first of all, though
show he Otani is the krem de la creme of
the baseball war that goes without saying, right, if you've
paid any attention, he's the central actor in the upcoming
(04:49):
dramatic off season event here the free agency shopping period.
It's all about showtime. However, that has now changed and
at the very minimum, Otani has lost three hundred million
dollars if he needs Tommy John surgery right off the top,
because that's typically a year and a half to a
two year injury before you fully get back. And Otani
(05:14):
at this point, we don't know the whole story, but
we know a lot. And in my experience over the
years from doing this job is when people in baseball say,
we're not sure how bad it is, we wanna wanna
get some more tests done, and all that, it's horrific.
It's horrible. It's the worst of the worst. So Otani's
got this flashing emoji, the red flag emoji around him
(05:38):
right now because he is simultaneously the front runner for
the American League MVP, and now he is a gigantic
question mark going forward as the Unicorn? Is this the
end of Otani as a pitcher? The second Tommy John operation,
they said he was suffering from arm fatigue. And now,
as we mentioned, if you just late to the party here,
(05:59):
Otani's diagnosed with a UCL tear. Then if you go
to WebMD or you pay attention to any of the
medical websites, they say that the often result of that
for a professional athlete is Tommy John surgery. So if
that's the case, O'tani goes from seven hundred million to
six hundred million. But what if I told you that
(06:22):
this is a blessing in disguise for the Angels? Say what?
Let me explain. So, if Otani did go from like
six hundred million to maybe three hundred million, which is
still a ton of money, wouldn't you be better off
just taking a one year deal, signing with the Angels
for another season, just play as a designated hitter, which
(06:44):
apparently he's still going to try to do He's going
to try to play as a DH and then re
enter the market a year from now, or maybe you
sign a two year deal with the Angels for a
good amount of money, as much as Artie Marino can
scrape together. I know he likes to pinch, as do
I and then you go back at it. But Otani's
(07:04):
velocity had been going down. He had averaged his his
heater had averaged about ninety seven miles an hour, and
his fastball in the game we found out he was
pitching with a bum elbow was about ninety one miles
an hour to ninety four, so he lost about three
miles minimum on his fastball. So keep an eye on
this story here, and he's gonna be shut down for
(07:27):
the rest of the year. But people are gonna now
do the well. You should have not played once the
Angels were eliminated. He should have not played those people.
You know, those people are We have a word for
those people, ding dongs. They're ding dongs. They're Mama Luke's
out of an abundance of caution. Yet, don't leave your
freaking house, you losers. Okay, h Otani played, He's at
(07:47):
baseball player's made a lot of money this year. He
played sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. He got hurt.
He's still gonna make a ton of money if he wants,
he just won't make as much money. I think the
Otani family, it's took seven iterations of the Ottani family
down the line will be upset. But until then, I
think he's okay. Now, secondly, let's go to the Bronx.
We'll move away from the Angels because on the field,
(08:09):
Aaron Judge played home run. Derby hit three home runs.
The Yankee snapped a nine game losing streak. So unfortunately
we did not get that ten game losing streak, the
longest though futility for the Bronx Bombers since the early eighties,
over forty years. But we got a story. The story
here is Brian Cashman, who faced the music the fourth
(08:34):
Estate there as he sat in the dunk tank and
the circus came through there and they were trying to
dunk Brian Cashman. Cashman spoke in a news conference to
the assembled Yankee media there and he said all kinds
of wild things. He said, the season has been a disaster,
talked about being embarrassed, let's give you a little taste here.
(08:55):
We got some highlights of this news conference. Here is
Brian Cashman, the longest tenure general manager in professional baseball
with the New York Yankees. Here's Brian Cashman commenting on
what a hot mess this season has been for the Pinstripers.
Take a listen.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
There's anybody in this planet that felt that the New
York Yankees has constructed leaving spring training, entering spring training,
or leaving spring training wasn't a playoff contending team. And
I wouldn't say anybody in our roster, anybody on an
opposing roster, or anybody in this room in the media.
I doubt there's anybody that predicted that we were not
a playoff team, and I certainly didn't. But at the
(09:31):
same time, it happens, and a lot of it's happened,
and because of that, there's a mess on our hands.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Yeah, there's one person I know that predicted the demise
of the New York Yankees, and that's a guy named
Angry Bill. So maybe the Yankee should hire Angry Bill,
a guy that calls this show as an advisor to
the Yankees.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
It's a mess.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
I've seen that slogan on bumper stickers back in the day,
blank happens, s word happens. Here's more from Brian Cashman.
Here's Brian Cashman saying that the Yankees are not happy.
They are not happy, and the players are not trying
to suck. Take a listen.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
I'm out here to make my case of why we
should or we should and that's somebody else's decision, that's
above me. But I can tell you we're we're really
obviously disappointed and frustrated, angered. And that's that's representative from
every aspect of this franchise from top to bottom. So
and that includes our players too. They care, they're fighting.
I know it doesn't look like that, but I would
(10:28):
say if you try to put yourself in their position,
I don't think anybody wants to go out in front
of forty thousand people in laying egg, whether it's individually
or collectively as a team, because then what comes with
that is pretty horrific.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
And so you know the job is to find Yeah,
all right, So that was a weird ending there, but
that's Brian Cashman there and he said they're trying. It
doesn't look like it, but yeah, here's one more. Yeah,
if you're like some kind of bird or something, you're
allowed to lay an egg. But other than that, that's good.
Or a snake or something like that. Anyway, here is
(11:03):
one more. Here's a Brian Cashman pointing out that this
Yankee team now essentially opened up Pandora's box take a list.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
By doing it the other way, and we've gone south.
We've invited a lot of scrutiny, a lot of questions.
Some of them will be legitimate, some of them be
but we've got to be professional and deal with all
of it and try to sift through what's real and
what's fake.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Yeah, okay, good luck. So how does Brian Cashman's blunt
assessment of the twenty twenty three Yankees season change the story?
It was the word is necessary. It was a necessary
trip to the confessional booth. Some places you can sugarcoat it,
and people are like cheerleaders for the team, But the
(11:47):
New York's not one of those places. No sugarcoating. Admitting
the problem is the first step to solving it, but
does not guarantee that you're going to be able to
fix the problem. You can't solve a problem by pretending
there is no problem, but at the same time getting
it corrected. It's a whole different animal now. Brian Cashman
is surrounded by what we call gummy clusters of nerds.
(12:10):
By the way, not a bad candy, a gummy cluster
of nerds. But you mix in my advice, mix in
a little old school the Yankees. If you look at
the scales of baseball, the scales are leaning way too
much to the analytics and not enough to feel of
the game and have a hunch, bet a bunch, All right,
Final five, Let's go to the Athletics. Their owner, John Fisher,
(12:34):
granted an interview to the Las Vegas Review Journal. This
guy's a recluse, John Fisher. Several of our friends in
the Bay Area passed this story on to me, demanding
that we give it a mention. So we will so
John Fisher. In this story, he was on the offensive,
and he denied a bunch of allegations that have been
(12:56):
made about him, and he attacked the A fans in Oakland.
Among them, he said, despite many rhythmic chants, sell the Tate,
sell Tate, he's not selling the team. And he's not.
This is the part where his nose grew like Pinocchio.
He said he's not intentionally tanking the team's on field performance.
(13:19):
He insists that the athletics payroll, which is the lowest
in professional baseball at the big league level, is just
a function of club revenue. And here's where his nose
grows all the way to the moon. He said, nothing
could be further from the truth. This is John Fisher,
the owner of the Athletics the A's. This year, this
is what John Fisher said. He said the A's will
(13:40):
lose forty million dollars with a sixty million dollar payroll,
and the losses that the ownership has had here with
this team over the last several years have been very significant.
He claimed they lost over one hundred million dollars the
previous year. So how would you classify John Fisher's it's
about the athletics financials. So this is what's known as fiction.
(14:05):
It is fluffy cotton candy is what it is. It's
myth making. It's bullshoy, is what it is. It's the
myth making machine cranked off and good job by the
Las Vegas Review Journal. Was this a pr piece? Was
this a press release by John Fisher? Way to ask
(14:26):
the hard questions. I will bet my last dollar, which,
by the way, I'm getting close to my last dollar.
The athletics are not going to lose forty million dollars
this year. They did not lose one hundred million dollars
in a previous year. I'm gonna go out on a
limb here put my neck out that that is horsecrap.
Now what is my evidence? My evidence is pro sports
(14:48):
teams in the I'm talking about not these you know, WNBA.
I'm sure they lose money, but I'm talking about the
big time sports leagues, the blue blood teams, the legacy
sports leagues have a license to print money. They always
sell for more, never for less. Can you tell me
another business that always sells for more, never less. Like
you buy a house, you don't know if the house
(15:10):
is gonna be worth more money. You hope it is,
but maybe it won't. It might go down when you
have to get rid of it. But in sports, you
buy this. There's no other business you can buy and
you're guaranteed you're gonna sell it for more than you
paid for it, and you're gonna make amazing amounts of money.

of the Day. And here's the malor of riddle of
the day. Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said recently that
(15:54):
blank in my mind are not the way to go.
He said, blank in my mind are not the way
to go. That is the malar riddle of the day
from Jerry Jones. The answer, We'll get to it and
we will do it next.

Speaker 1 (16:54):
It's Ben Mallor, the great Tim mcdarby show contributor. Provides
a lot of content for the show to He's wonderful
on the Twitter machine, and he sent me a message
here Eddie that he he had a feeling that Benny
Brightside would would be be back here and and with
the Angels because I did. I said, this is actually
(17:15):
a blessing in disguise, was my point that o'tani got hurt.
And I'll be Benny bright'side on this one that this
increases the chances that o'tani will come back to the
Angels on a short term deal for another couple of
years until he can get the pitching things straightened out,
unless he absolutely hates playing for the Angels. But we've
not heard that. Everyone everyone that I talked to who
(17:36):
claims to know, maybe they know nothing, but they tell
me he loves it there, that nobody bothers him, that
he does his thing he likes living in Orange County,
not far from the stadium, and he's got a good
thing going on.
Speaker 6 (17:48):
So anyway, that's so this is all a mastermind plan.
Like Otani came out of the game. He was like
complaining of you know, arm fatigue, and then oh, let's go,
let's go get a scan. And the team doctor is
paid to be like, oh, you've got a tear, but
he doesn't have a tear, and that just brings the
the offers down from other teams.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
I like this. So Ardi Marino paid off the trainer. Yes,
and they what they did is they switched the m
R the MRI. You know, they switched an old one
from somebody.
Speaker 7 (18:18):
Else exactly that had the injury.
Speaker 5 (18:21):
Like he is getting a second opinion, you know.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Yeah, but Marino pay off that guy too. Remember when
Carlos Correa said, oh, the Giants doctor doesn't know what
he's talking about. So then he went to the Mets
and then the Mets doctor agreed with the Giants doctor
and he was like screwed. And uh yeah, anyway, Uh
here's the Mallord riddle of the day. Cowboys owner Jerry
Jones recently said, quote that blank in my mind are
(18:48):
not the way to go, saw Man said, Taco Bell
burritos with fire sauce not the way to go. Who
else do we have paid down? I can't read that
The Utan extermination program guest by Ferdcat Brian Cashman, fire
him please the answer? According to our friend the Midnight Walker,
(19:11):
Alf the Alieno Piner says, mosquito circumcision is not the
way to go. Orange and Blue Blood Brett said, Jerry
Jones said, Dak Prescott, in my mind, not the way
to go. Courtesy Flusher going with big butts. I've got
big butts and I cannot lie. I love them. Yes.
Who else do we have a page down circumcision? Guess
(19:34):
by just Josh in Cincinnati? Calligan Tim's going old school,
he says. A woman voting not the way to go. Wow, Calligan, Tim,
that's outstanding. Who do we have off brand adult diapers
from Stevie Meatball's licorice sticks guessed by Jared non prison
inmates from Jimmy Frommain and Jeff got this one right,
(19:58):
obviously cheating Padja by you, Jeff, Shame on you. You
should not be cheating like that. And Annie the comic
book Guy says wearing wind pants and a tank top
while canoeing with Ferd Cat. Not the way to go,
not the way, not the way to go. Reek in
Minnesota said, hookers are not the way to go. Eddie,
(20:19):
do you have an answer to the Mallard riddle of
the day?
Speaker 5 (20:23):
He said, glory hoole.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Oh, Eddie, We're going there, Eddie, that's where. That's right.
I know that's a I did not know that was
an oil term. I thought it was a different kind
of term.
Speaker 5 (20:35):
Eddy.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
I didn't know it was when I was growing up.
It was something much different. The movie Porky's the Correct,
the correct answer to the Malar River of Theday. Cowboys
owner Jerry Jones said quote that part time pilots, in
my mind, are not the way to go. As he
grounded Brandon Cook, so the Cowboys, he will not be
(20:55):
flying his private plane anymore during the NFL season, So
that is the answer. Part time pilots, we're all the
sound effects there we go cut up.
Speaker 5 (21:08):
I won't make some glory hill.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Do we have the Mosquito one? Because I think the
Mosquito one's even better.
Speaker 8 (21:14):
I like the we don't have the Unfortunately, the Mosquito
is I think it's gone, it's been swatted.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Well it's not gone. It's on. It's all over YouTube
and we can get it back in ten seconds. It's
it's all over. Why would someone delete that? I don't
think any one question. No one would delete that. It's
one of the great soundbites of all time.
Speaker 5 (21:33):
They have some automated thing that does clear out files
and I don't know exactly how it picks and chooses, but.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Can I request we put it back here? And Marcell,
how should I kill mosquitos?
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Marcel, you killed it with the knife.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
We still have that though, Thank god we have that
and not the Jerry Jones. Let's go to the phones,
and we've got to ask Ben coming up, so keep
those questions coming in hashtag ask Ben. The wild Eye
Southern Boy who sent me a really nutso video. This

Eyed Southern Boy from Arkansas?
Speaker 3 (22:26):

Speaker 1 (22:53):
Some has gone away?
Speaker 7 (22:56):
This is Maverick.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
I haven't ever heard of. I've been all over the place.
I've never seen or heard of Maverick.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Top gunnery about the Dallas Mavericks.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
Yeah, I don't know. Man, who cares about the Mavericks,
right man, I'm worried about them.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
I got a fun fact for you. This was a
word of the day on the Fifth Hour podcast last year,
the term Maverick. Do you know where that term originated? From?
Speaker 3 (23:21):
Another country?
Speaker 1 (23:23):
No, it was from this country. It was a guy
named Maverick. And I think it was a Texas Uh
like a guy that owned a bunch of cattle in
Texas and he uh he either I forget exactly, either
branded his cattle or he didn't brand his cattle, and
I think it was he didn't brand his cattle, and
they called him a maverick because nobody.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
No, no, that's right being he did. He did brand.
Matter of fact.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
They was, okay, so you branded it, so you're a maverick.
You branded, Okay, you're right, you're right.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
I forgot about that. I forgot about that Texas thing.
But Texas, man, you know, they're known for a lot
of stuff, big man, you know, and he probably had
a heck with that gun bunch of battle anyway, did
you see that?
Speaker 1 (24:02):
By the way, just to correct the story, So he
did not brand his cattle, so they called Samuel Maverick
and that that's the team. The Mavericks are named after
this guy. But they he was a rancher in Texas
and he decided not to brand his cattle, so they
called him. He was anti culture. He was a maverick
because he went against the norms.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Man, that's been a few that's been a while back. Oh,
that's been a while back, right.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Yeah, it's from the eighteen hundreds, but I mean it's
still a great story.
Speaker 5 (24:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
I'm going to I'm gonna get my nephew to find
me some more on that that's pretty cool.
Speaker 9 (24:32):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
I was talking today too, and he said they have
been known to toll trucks away at the Bullcott, but
that that BUCkies because yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Yeah, yeah yeah we uh man, we're aware that Bucky's
not a truck stop. It's a convenience center gas station,
but not they're anti trucker at BUCkies. They don't like
the truckers.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
BUCkies overweighted, over overrated, h Walmart.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
All right, here's the question now, wild Eye other boy,
we got to move on, but what is your favorite
truck stop? You've driven all over the country. What is
your favorite truck stop? Wild eyed Southern boy?
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Well ups, cat Man. We talked about wild Bie mine.
My my favorite is loves You like the rid you

Yes, Kathy and Madison just wants to know how are
you Ben?
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Well? Thanks for asking, Keavy. Nobody ever asked how I'm doing,
so I'm glad that you brought that up. I'm a
little sleep deprived, more than normal. I had a power
luncheon I went to I normally don't do those kind
of things because I like to sleep, or at least
to pretend like I'm sleeping, just lay around in bed,
lounge around. So I spent a lot of time in
traffic doing the Overnight Show. I don't have to spend
a lot of time in traffic. So it was a
(30:23):
big pan in the ass. But thanks for asking. I
appreciate it, very kind of you, Kenny. Nobody else needs
to ask me that, all right? Next?

movie too, with lots of cameos.
Speaker 7 (31:04):
And I love The water Boy. It's great sports movies.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
So yeah, oh no, we suck again.
Speaker 7 (31:12):
I get.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
That was not Adam Sadler.
Speaker 6 (31:19):
I would have to say either either The water Boy
or or Billy Madison.
Speaker 5 (31:25):
You know what, I'm gonna change mine.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Actually, you're not allowed to change your answer. There's no change.
Speaker 5 (31:30):

Speaker 1 (31:33):
I'm not a Why don't we just name every Adam
Sandler movie.
Speaker 7 (31:36):
Wedding Singer is a great film too, a lot of heart.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
Nobody picked that Diamond one he did a couple of
years ago.
Speaker 5 (31:41):
I didn't see it, but it was very good.

your questions are answers. As the wing blows back over

shoe just fits right, doesn't it? Yes? All right, Coop?
What do we have here?
Speaker 7 (33:08):
All right?
Speaker 6 (33:09):
This is a question for everybody, but I think probably
you and I Ben are the only ones that might
be able to answer this. Okay, it's from Mason and
Huntington Beach listener Mason, Yeah.
Speaker 7 (33:19):
He said.
Speaker 6 (33:20):
The subject is tipping in Las Vegas, specifically, how should
someone tip at a sports book if you cash in
a ticket, or at a blackjack table?
Speaker 7 (33:28):
How should you tip the dealer?
Speaker 1 (33:30):
So I have an unpopular opinion when it comes to
the sports book. I know, if you win over a
certain amount, you know, it's polite, you know, leave a
little bit, leave a little something down there. But the
people at the casino, the ticket takers, I don't know, man,
I gotta win a lot of money for me to
give a little bit of a tip. But you know,
(33:50):
you win five hundred blocks, you know, toss you know,
fifty down or whatever, something like that. But I I
don't know, man, I just feel it feels odd to
me a bad person coople Loop when I go to
the sports book if I win some money.
Speaker 7 (34:03):
No, I completely agree with you.
Speaker 6 (34:04):
I think out of the entire casino, the rudest employees
work at the windows at the sports book.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
I don't know why that is, but they always seem
kind of grumpy.
Speaker 6 (34:14):
Yes, it's anytime like I have a question about something,
it's always like the like, like you you dumb ass?
Like that's what That's the kind of what I feel,
the vibe I get from them.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
A lot of them. They want you to go to
the kiosks at the casinos. Now there is the kiosk,
you have people there still, So what's the point of
having people? Do you want people to go to the kiosk.
Speaker 6 (34:33):
Even though even if I won five hundred dollars fifties
a lot, I don't know if I would even tip
tip that. Honestly, I'd have to win thousands in order
for me to tip the person at the ticket.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
With It's kind of like tipping on takeout orders, like
what you what are you doing?
Speaker 5 (34:47):
You know?
Speaker 8 (34:48):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (34:49):
And now as far as a blackjack goes, if I
if I hit a blackjack, I will usually take like
the little like extra I don't know percentage that you
get sometimes and then and I'll place that as a
bet for the dealer.
Speaker 1 (35:06):
And then if you win that you give it all
to yes.
Speaker 7 (35:08):
Correct?
Speaker 1 (35:09):
All right, fair enough? What is next year? It is?
Speaker 5 (35:13):
Ask Ben?
Speaker 1 (35:14):
Your questions are answer? It is going to see Mason.
Listener Mason from Huntington Beach. She made the long drive
out to the comic book shop. I actually confused another
listener with listener Mason. Bad job by me. But there
was a guy that kind of looked like him. I
think his name was Dave who showed up earlier. Anyway,
what is next year?
Speaker 6 (35:31):
Coopsed cosed ferd Count wants to know?
Speaker 7 (35:35):
Is ice cream cake far superior to regular cake.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
So here's my my position on ice cream cake. I
love ice cream cake, but it's gotta be in the
sweet spot. If it's too hard the ice cream, it's terrible.
But if it's too soft, you've got to get it
served at the proper temperature where it's perfect like the
Goldie life of the ice cream. Otherwise it's it's terrible, Eddie.
Speaker 5 (36:05):
If I could curse on the air right now, I would.
That's how much I hate ice cream cake.
Speaker 1 (36:10):
I wow strong anti ice cream cake position.
Speaker 5 (36:12):
Eddie, the strongest. That there is ice cream and cake
should be separate. Always, they should never be combined in
any form.
Speaker 1 (36:21):
It can be separate, but properly. Again, it's all about
the temperature of the ice cream compared to the because
sometimes the cake.
Speaker 5 (36:29):
I don't want my cake and my ice cream together.
I'll take them separate. But cake in it himself is
far superior. Ice Cream cake can go to hell.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
To hell now, I will tell you, Eddie, the most
important part of the cake is the frosting. That's the
most important part of the cake. To frosting, very important.
I love my frosting. I was sam quick take on this.
Speaker 7 (36:54):
I love ice cream cake. I don't know what Eddie's
talking about.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
You know, garbage, Eddie shocking position. That's like more shocking
than your women's soccer position.
Speaker 8 (37:03):
We're past that. Now it's time for football. And do
you like a hot chocolate chip cookie with some ice
cream on top? Yeski, okay, it's pretty good. It's not cake, though,
it's a cookie like ice cream cake.
Speaker 6 (37:14):
I enjoy ice cream cake, but regular cake is far.
Speaker 7 (37:18):
No, it is. I mean, ice cream cake is great,
but I'll take regular.
Speaker 5 (37:23):
If I was offered free ice cream cake, I would
walk away. Look at me, walk away. I would absolutely
walk away.
Speaker 1 (37:31):
Now, the greatest assert is the two thick chocolate chip
cookies with vanilla ice cream in the middle. That's the
perfect I don't care.
Speaker 5 (37:39):
I'm leaving.
Speaker 1 (37:39):
Goodbye, Okay, moving on? What is next year? We got
a little time? What is next?
Speaker 6 (37:43):
Any The comic book guy wants to know of all
the comic books your eyes glazed upon this past weekend
the malor meet and greet, what stood out to you
the most or look the coolest?
Speaker 1 (37:51):
I love those I hate to say this, but I
love those little like that's the statuette things they had
on the on the right side when it was expensive,
I know, but they looked really cool. That Star Wars won,
I had my eye on that. What about, Eddie, anything
stand out at the comic book show?
Speaker 5 (38:06):
I like the Dune comics that Andy gave me.
Speaker 1 (38:08):
Yeah, oh very nice.
Speaker 6 (38:10):
What about you, Cooperloop, Yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna say
the Dune ones caught my attention the most.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
There was a lot of cool stuff in the store,
though it was very visually stimulating.
Speaker 5 (38:20):
I have to go back, just look around.
Speaker 1 (38:22):
I know, Well, maybe we'll go back next year, Eddie.
You never know, maybe this's.
Speaker 5 (38:25):
Not at any responsibilities. Just want to look around.
Speaker 1 (38:27):
Oh okay, all right,
