Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our number three, hour three of
our radio show. And the story that developed in the
overnight hours, and what a story it was, the gift
of breaking news in the middle of the night as
we were on the air, bombshell major League Baseball story.
(00:23):
Carlos Correa does not go to the San Francisco Giants.
They got cold feet an hour before an introductory news conference,
and in the middle of the night it was announced
Correa going to play for the New York Metropolitans. What
do you make of the Carlos Correa move leaving a
deal from the Giants to go to the Mets, the
(00:45):
big announcement pending, and what are the odds the Mets
end up regretting the Carlos Correa contract And what happens
next as Correa has to pass a physical and meet
the media in the Big Apple. We'll talk about all
that and more right now in our number three. We
(01:07):
got a deal and no we don't have a deal.
I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. Well, come in the
beginning of another hour of the Ben Mallor Show, as
we are in the air everywhere, just like next door Neighbors,
as we skid daddle across the radio dial coast stuck
(01:31):
coast port of the the order and beyond all the mast
and discernibly powerful microphones of fs are emanating live from
the shelves as the hot takes are flying off the shelves.
We are broadcasting live from the tirerac dot com studios
(01:53):
ti iraq dot com. We'll help you get there in
unmatched selection, bass, free shipping, free road hazard protection and
over ten thousand recommended installers ti iraq dot com. The
way tire buying should be. And what a story, a
story that is happening in real time. We don't often
get these in the middle of the night, but our
lead this hour coming from the China Basin. The Giants
(02:16):
play at the Really Maize Plaza there their home ballpark
located in San Francisco, and reports trickling out during the
day on Tuesday that there was a snag and the
free agent contract at the stunner. The Giants had postponed
their news conference about an hour before to introduce Carlos Perea,
(02:40):
the cheating a stro There were some medical issues that
popped up, some red flags on the physical. San Francisco
had agreed to pay the mastermind. So that great cheating scandal,
the greatest cheating scandal in American sports history in modern era,
(03:03):
three hundred fifty million over thirteen years. The Giants at
the time, they had said that they were waiting for
the results of more medical tests before they would move
forward with what was truly a ridiculous contract. And then
while we were minding our p's and q's, in the
middle of the night, the blind side Heymaker, state sponsored
(03:27):
MLB Media tells us that Carlos Correa has agreed to
a contract to join the New York Metropolitans. He's going
across the country from San Francisco to the Big Apple.
So the New York Mets end up getting Carlos Correa
(03:48):
in a stunning turn of events, and this story coming
down two thirty in the morning, the story ended up
breaking as Correa goes to the Mats, he does not
get the full thirteen million or thirteen year deal from
the Giants. It's being reported that and this comes from
(04:09):
John Hayman, who gave us arson judge going to the
to the Giants, and that turned out to be bogus.
But the switcheroo here Correa goes from the Mets to
from the Giants to the Mats. He'll play third base
with the Mats, and he ends up getting a twelve
year contract for three hundred and fifteen million dollars. And
(04:34):
so that is the story. The Giants did not like
something they saw there. Scott Bois, the agent, didn't like that.
They didn't like what they didn't like, and one thing
led to another. And now Carlos Correa is going to
be playing in New York in Queens. So let us
discuss the question what do you make of this change
(04:57):
between the COREA was supposed to go the Giants, the
media was assembling for the news conference, and now ends
up with the Mets. So I have the word is astounding.
I have the word astounding. I've got impulse as bestis
and the king of pop and we will connect all
of these things together and we are going to make
(05:19):
some very expensive bab a ganoosh is what we're going
to make. So first of all, Carlos Croia going zig
and zag. I gotta keep everyone on your toes. That's
a boxing. You got a bob and weave. What a story.
This is the atomic elbow from the top rope, the
Giants and Korea had both professed their love for one another.
(05:43):
It had been agreed upon, it had been reported. They'd
leaked it both sides and leaked. They made it public.
They made out in public, and they failed to cross
the teas and thought the eyes. The Giants got cold
feet at the altar. They had a change of heart.
However you want to say it. It is one thing
to talk about getting out of a contract, but it's
(06:05):
another thing to pull it off. And I hate doing
this as a dodger guy, But bravo to the Giants.
The greatest day in San Francisco Giants history in terms
of roster management is today, all right, tremendous. That they
pulled this off in is surprising, stunning, and stupefying that
the Giants were able to do this. Now, we mentioned
(06:25):
in a previous episode that this was always an impulse
purchase for San Francisco. They were rejected by their true love,
Aaron Judge. Aaron Judge turned them down. He's a Northern
California guy. He's geographically desirable. He said, I don't want
the Golden gate Bridge. I want the Bronx, the Bronx
(06:48):
whitestone bridge. That's the one I want. And so my
theory had been I said this at the time. My
theory was the giants were suffering from low self esteem.
It's like the old rebound. You know, you're getting a
relationship and it doesn't go well after a while, and
you need a rebound fund. And for the giants, they
(07:09):
pivoted and they're like, we got a lot of money,
and we want to spend the money. And so the
next FLUSI that walks down the street, we're gonna give
the money to and enter Carlos Correa. And now after
things have calmed down, they said, wait a minute, what
have we done here? Hold on a second. We need
a cooling off here, we have regrets, we have buyer's remorse.
(07:32):
They did some soul searching, introspection. More importantly, they looked
at the medical charts and they said, wait a minute,
this guy's he's got a major issue here. Their eyeballs
were as big as saucers, and Carlos Correa they determined,
wait a minute, this guy's not cracked up to be
the end all be all, And so the giants ended
(07:52):
up saying we're done. At the very last minute. Though
at the last minute, an hour before the hooting Nanny
was set to beginning an hour before the coronation. The
Giants say no, and it took all day into the night,
and Correa ends up bamboozling another baseball team to pay
(08:14):
him a ton of money. What a snake, all right? Now? Secondly,
what are the odds the New York Metropolitans regret that
they gave Korea this deal? So I'll be fair here.
I'm not gonna be a shock jock. The odds of
this working out for the Mets. The odds of this
not working out for the Mets rather, are one hundred percent.
(08:37):
One hundred percent. This is not gonna work out. Am
I making myself clear for those of you in the
back of the room. On every level, this is a
failure for Stephen Colin. Now I realized the Mets are
already in business with cheating astros. They signed that punk
justin Verland or a cheater. But this guy is the
king of sleeves balls, this Carlos Korea. You don't want
(08:59):
to associate yourself with people like this. He's as bestest.
Carlos kareas human as bestest, and now he's got that
extra stank because the Giants had a deal and backed
out because there was something that their doctors said was
wrong with this guy, and they would not rubber stamp
(09:20):
the contract. He's damaged goods on top of everything else,
whatever it was. I will gauntee you that in the
next forty eight to seventy two hours, and maybe we'll
have to delay that because the holiday weekends coming up here.
But we in the next week or so, we are
gonna find out someone's gonna leak from the Giants because
(09:41):
this is a bad look for them, and someone's gonna
take advantage on their PR team and spend this story
and they're gonna leak out to one of their friends
in the San Francisco media what exactly was red flagged
on the Carlos career contract. So now the Mets give
him a twelve year deal, and the same math applies
carea for the next three or four years. It shouldn't
(10:02):
be an issue. I'll give him four years with the
Mets at most, but that means he's got eight years
of deadweight. And I realized these hedge fund guys, they've
got endless money, and they've got a license to print
money and all that stuff. So for Stephen Collins, like
I used, just a Mets fanboy that owns the team
and it doesn't matter to him. He just wants to
see the Mets win. But that's the other problem. This
(10:24):
will not be legit for the next twelve years or
ever long. Koreas on the Mets roster the voice of
reason here in the middle of the night. Any team
that has a headliner from the twenty seventeen as throws
or should I say, the one one thousand two one
thousand holes on their team, it does not count. There
(10:48):
was no champion in twenty twenty two, didn't count because
that Jose Alboove and Alex Bregman, the punk they were
on that team still and that racist Julie Guriel So
sam logic applies to the New York Mets now. So
(11:08):
the nineteen eighty six ments. I gotta send my buddy
Lenny Diister a message. Hey Lenny, you're still good? All right?
Final thought, So we're at a fork in the road,
if you will. Correa has decided to go to the
left as opposed to the right. All right, So what
happens next in the Carlos Correa Mets soap opera? As
(11:31):
the Mets are now the lead actor, as they've picked
up the spoiled melk in Corea. So the next step
is he has to pass a physical, which will of
course make a mockery of modern medicine. And I was
just having this conversation the other night with Eddie garcia
Off here we were talking about doctors and how then
(11:54):
he reminded me of a stat that I've given a
few times. The number one leading cause of death is
medical incompetence. That your doctor screws up and makes a mistake,
all right, or somebody at the hospital makes a mistake.
That's the leading cause of human beings demise. And these
studies come out every couple years. They were studying in
(12:15):
a few years ago that pointed this out. So this
will again prove that if you want to get a
certain answer from a doctor, you can find the doctor.
Because the Mets have to find a doctor that will
give the old wink and a nod and the okay
thumbs up to the Carlos career physical. So a little
(12:36):
doctor's shopping will be going on. You would assume they'll
find doctor Nick Riviera from the Simpsons, or Doogie Howser MD,
or our friend Doc Mike, who's in Phoenix right now
but he's from Chicago, as a possibility. And then after that,
the Mets will schedule what figures to be a raucous
pep rally, just like the Giants were supposed to have.
(12:57):
And it shows you what kind of mercenary we've got,
an absolute mercenary. Carlos Grez he was. He was ready
to say all these wonderful things about the Giants and
how great they were, and how he always wanted to
play in that ballpark and he loved the fans. And
now he's gonna say the complete opposite about the Mets. Right,
come hell or high water, He's got to pass the physical.
He'll then be introduced, and what a dog and pony
(13:20):
show this is gonna be. And I hope I'm on
after it, so we can break it down here. These
introductory news conferences are typically paint by numbers designed by
the King of Pop. They are ABC easy as one, two, three, right,
follow the boy. They're played. They're like religious revivals. You
put the player up on a pedestal on the stage
(13:41):
with his agent and the GM and the manager and
Player X gets on the mic excited about the opportunity,
high expectations, praises the franchise, we expect to win, I
I demand to win. Talks about how much he loves
the city, the front office, and how this was meant
to be right it was set, and Dippity brags about
(14:01):
how great the franchise is. Excited. You know, the whole thing.
Pumps up the electorate, sell some tickets, get people jones
up to buy merchandise. But I'm telling you this one's
gonna be combative because Korea is a entitled, arrogant punk
and the New York media is gonna call him on
(14:23):
the bullcrap. He has been pampered, he's been coddled, he's
been protected by the fanboys in the Houston media. What
a soft nattack that is. Yeah, I mean the local
radio guys an embarrassment, right, They just they just lick
all over the players. They get mannaged in petties. They
don't criticize anybody, don't hold them accountable. The New York
(14:45):
media is a little different now. They're not like they
used to be. It's not the same era that we're in.
But there are still some rogue reporters who are going
to call Karea on his bullcrap, So good luck with
that smug woefully cocky at it food that Corea brings
to the table. And just wait, wait till snapcrack will
(15:05):
pop pops up on the radar and then the Giants
will be praised and the Mets will be goofed on
And that's how this is gonna play out, all right.

of money the Mets the luxury tax. The Mets will
be spending close to one hundred million dollars in addition
for all of the players they've signed. They brought back
(26:47):
Brandon Nemo, a Brandon Emo, Edwin Diaz, the trumpet guy.

North End of Boston. Blind Scott is going to play. Hello,
(27:31):
Blind Scott, what's up? Ben? I'm excited. You know. It's
a big time of the year in the North End
of Boston. I was at a lunch today with a
couple of senators and a couple of politicians. I gave
him tips on how to run the Statehouse. And I'm
in good shape and I'm ready to play some reindeer
games with you. I'm going to be give my picture
in the paper too. I had a photograph taking of
meat and a sandwich at the food pantry. It's gonna
be a great so show that I'm putting on. You
(27:53):
can't wait for that. I make sure you send me
a link on that so I can look at you.
A wonderful you are in the newspaper. All right, here
we go too much or not enough? You go five

you have to do is get three, right, you win
the game. Don't let Eddie cheat? Do cheat me on
this game? You know how? Don't cheat Eddie? No cheating?
All right? Question number one. On Monday, the La Rams
(28:15):
became the fourth team and the Common Draft era whatever
that is. I guess since nineteen sixty seven to have
multiple number one picks start at quarterback in a season?
Is that too much or not enough? Uh? Too much?
Lion Scott says, too much? Let's find out. Is he right?
(28:36):
That's correct? Yeah? Ye? What Okay, it's only one. It's
only one. You still got to get two more, right,
But they are only the second team to have two
different number one picks start the other the other. Uh.
The Panthers with David Carr okay and Vinny test. Question
(29:00):
number two, Aaron Rodgers has now won ten Monday Night
football games in or out? Is that too much or
not enough? Ah? Too much? Line Scott going with too
much yet again? Is his answer? You sure you want
to go with that? Yep, Yeah, that's fine. Out, that's right.
(29:24):
Got the dogs are barking too much. It was rogers
eighth consecutive Monday Night football win. Late great Ken Stabler
has the most, with eleven consecutive. Question number three, You
get this right, you win the game? Question three Joe Burrow.
(29:46):
Joe Burrow just became the third player in NFL history
to have seventy five passing touchdowns. Enough, not enough, not enough?
I'll go with not enough, but I haven't finished the question. Well,
I'm a probability dude. I go by statistics. I went
to M I T in Boston with the smartest mind
to the world, go too all right, So your answer
is again, you're the smartest guy. What's your answer? Not enough?
(30:09):
All right, mister smarty pants, Let's find out you got
it wrong. You've got it wrong, mister m I take
you got it wrong. Even the smartest people are wrong
once in a while, so I didn't completely question. But
Burrow seventy five touchdowns, ten rushing touchdowns, and he's the
third player in NFL through the first forty career games
(30:32):
to have those numbers. The answer was too much. He's
the first player to do it. So you're not gonna
sweep the board. But we go to question for blind Scott.
All right, not enough is the answer. I don't I
haven't even given the question. I'm a mind reader. I'm
a telepath and mind read I can. It's one of
these day crazy nights of Hanakah, and I think that
(30:54):
the answer is not enough, so I don't even need
to read the question. Yeah, I'm a medium. I'm a medium.
I can predict. All right, Well, I won't even bother
reading the question. That's fine, out blind. What's your final answer,
blind Scot? Not enough? Not enough? Let's fine, that's all
(31:17):
you dirty dog? You? How dare you holler? And James
won this game? Sleeping? Is you know? I know you
got more onto listen to show you make with blind
with the smartest minds in the world. Yeah, I am aware?
(31:38):
All right, Well, thank you. There he goes. What a
genius I mensa member of the great Blind Scott And

curdling cheese, it doesn't matter. As triping man. Cooking with
Roberto a Fox Sports Radio exclusive. Nobody else has this
kind of damn right, damn right. Today we're gonna make
tomales and these tomales are corn I mean sorry, uh
cheese with um saltad uh, poblano peppers, onion, and tomato.
(34:16):
All right, these are delicious. I brought these. I've brought
this in before for you guys. All right, very good,
all right, very simple to bring them in the other day, Roberto,
you did not, No, I didn't know. Yeah, I'm gonna
bring him in tomorrow. Tomorrow, yeah, okay, yea right, all right,
all right, So these are in ja Quio. All right,
(34:37):
So we need eight pounds of chila poblanos olive oil,
one white onion chopped, saw and pepper, three garden cloves
minced and uh for for tomatoes, all right, chop and
eight pounds of masa. What size tomato? Little baby tomato?
M tomatoes are five roma tomato? All right? Tomato masa
(34:59):
is uh it's corn, you know, corn flowers. We used
to make the tamales. Yeah. Uh. If you obviously there's
no uh, if you can't go to any like local
grocery store and find massa that's made, because that's the
way my mom doesn't now she doesn't. It takes it
takes about an hour to make this this dough. I
know where we are, you can get it. Yeah, yeah,
(35:20):
and so in California. But I don't know that you
can get it everywhere. It takes about an hour to
make this dough and it's it's not fun. So my
mom just doesn't bother anymore. She goes to the low
grocery store and gets it there and it takes identical
to the way you make it at home. So short
many but you can get you can get at Walmart.
Had this thing, um my set guys the brand and
it's called instant corn massa flower. You just add water
(35:41):
to it, all right, am I not taste the same,
but the uh, well, Roberto, if you don't know the
other taste, then it's fine. Exactly know exactly there you go.
All right, So very simple stuff here, as if you
were making chilla Riano's remove stam and seeds from the
pablana peppers. We're gonna roast them over flame and add
and then add them to the bag a plastic back
(36:03):
to sweat them out and remove the burnt shell. All right,
just what's in the bag. So we move them out
at them, steam out with the fork or spoon and
move the shell. The burns the burn shell. All right.
We'll cut the poblanos about one third wide and no
longer than one and a half inches long, all right,
and then they pan. Add a few tablespoons of olive oil.
All right, okay, once oil. Once oil is hot, at onions,
(36:25):
salt and pepper and cooking tool again. Onions are a
little almost see through there, all right. Enjoy the sizzle. Yeah,
salted these bad boys. All right, We're gonna add some
minced garlic and cook for about one minute. All right.
I love the garlic. You know that. I'm all about
the garlic. Yeah, buddy, nature penicilla. Yeah, you gotta have garlic,
(36:45):
this bad boy. All right, we're gonna add chopped tomatoes.
Cooking tomatoes have released liquid and it's mostly evaporator. Right,
they thought these boys soften up. All right, but make
sure you keep the color in there, right, if it's
gonna have, you gonna have the red color for some
reason that they dry up just a little bit more
tomatoes towards the end there, all right. Yeah, you want
it visually pleasing, exactly. It's gonna look beautiful, baby. Okay, Well,
(37:07):
add pobos art. We'll add the pobonos and taste for salt,
all right, all right, boiled, big pot of water and
then we'll add the corn hust and then you're all
choked up. This is such an emotional meal for you,
so you're you can't believe how great this is gonna be.
These tamali. All right, we're gona add the corn hust,
boil boiled, big pot of water, add the corn hust,
(37:29):
and then we'll place them in a heavy object on
top and let the corn husts submerge completely for about
thirty minutes. They're gonna be so yummy and so delicious.
Soft and up once they once they're soft, all right,
and thoroughly salt. Dry them by grabbing a stack and
hitting them against the sink several times to dry off
the dry off the leaves all right. All right, and
(37:50):
we'll add the massa to the smooth side of the
of the corn husk in the thin layer. If you
bring the up to the light, the light was shining
through the massa. All right. Add cheese and raha mix,
leaving half inch at the top and bottom so it
doesn't spill out. All right, foldage no spillage, Fold the
(38:11):
massa less, Fold the massa less top part of the
Oh all right, to cook, put steamer in pot and
then add water. Tomatoes can be laid down or place
upright in this bad boy. All right, okay, all right,
you may need four tomatoes depending on the size of
the poblanos. Adjust ratios so that once everything is combined
and you get a spoon forward as mostly publanos, but
(38:33):
also a piece of tomato and onion massa should be
room temperature, all right. If you buy it and put
it in the fridge, it won't spread easily. Buy it
the morning you're going to make the tomales and then
leave it out, all right, don't mess around with you exactly.
You can also cover with wax paper so the cheesesn't
spill out, and so it's clear. So it's clear, right,
(38:55):
just like that, you got some authentic homemade tom als,
baby from the old Country, just like Roberto had when
you were a little boy growing up. That's right, so divine,
so tasty. Roberto and I want to put it out
because Dave Robert hasn't been fired. Yes, cooking with Robert down.

Hello and welcome. It's our number three, hour three of
our radio show. And the story that developed in the
overnight hours, and what a story it was, the gift
of breaking news in the middle of the night as
we were on the air, bombshell major League Baseball story.
(00:23):
Carlos Correa does not go to the San Francisco Giants.
They got cold feet an hour before an introductory news conference,
and in the middle of the night it was announced
Correa going to play for the New York Metropolitans. What
do you make of the Carlos Correa move leaving a
deal from the Giants to go to the Mets, the
(00:45):
big announcement pending, and what are the odds the Mets
end up regretting the Carlos Correa contract And what happens
next as Correa has to pass a physical and meet
the media in the Big Apple. We'll talk about all
that and more right now in our number three. We
(01:07):
got a deal and no we don't have a deal.
I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. Well, come in the
beginning of another hour of the Ben Mallor Show, as
we are in the air everywhere, just like next door Neighbors,
as we skid daddle across the radio dial coast stuck
(01:31):
coast port of the the order and beyond all the mast
and discernibly powerful microphones of fs are emanating live from
the shelves as the hot takes are flying off the shelves.
We are broadcasting live from the tirerac dot com studios
(01:53):
ti iraq dot com. We'll help you get there in
unmatched selection, bass, free shipping, free road hazard protection and
over ten thousand recommended installers ti iraq dot com. The
way tire buying should be. And what a story, a
story that is happening in real time. We don't often
get these in the middle of the night, but our
lead this hour coming from the China Basin. The Giants
(02:16):
play at the Really Maize Plaza there their home ballpark
located in San Francisco, and reports trickling out during the
day on Tuesday that there was a snag and the
free agent contract at the stunner. The Giants had postponed
their news conference about an hour before to introduce Carlos Perea,
(02:40):
the cheating a stro There were some medical issues that
popped up, some red flags on the physical. San Francisco
had agreed to pay the mastermind. So that great cheating scandal,
the greatest cheating scandal in American sports history in modern era,
(03:03):
three hundred fifty million over thirteen years. The Giants at
the time, they had said that they were waiting for
the results of more medical tests before they would move
forward with what was truly a ridiculous contract. And then
while we were minding our p's and q's, in the
middle of the night, the blind side Heymaker, state sponsored
(03:27):
MLB Media tells us that Carlos Correa has agreed to
a contract to join the New York Metropolitans. He's going
across the country from San Francisco to the Big Apple.
So the New York Mets end up getting Carlos Correa
(03:48):
in a stunning turn of events, and this story coming
down two thirty in the morning, the story ended up
breaking as Correa goes to the Mats, he does not
get the full thirteen million or thirteen year deal from
the Giants. It's being reported that and this comes from
(04:09):
John Hayman, who gave us arson judge going to the
to the Giants, and that turned out to be bogus.
But the switcheroo here Correa goes from the Mets to
from the Giants to the Mats. He'll play third base
with the Mats, and he ends up getting a twelve
year contract for three hundred and fifteen million dollars. And
(04:34):
so that is the story. The Giants did not like
something they saw there. Scott Bois, the agent, didn't like that.
They didn't like what they didn't like, and one thing
led to another. And now Carlos Correa is going to
be playing in New York in Queens. So let us
discuss the question what do you make of this change
(04:57):
between the COREA was supposed to go the Giants, the
media was assembling for the news conference, and now ends
up with the Mets. So I have the word is astounding.
I have the word astounding. I've got impulse as bestis
and the king of pop and we will connect all
of these things together and we are going to make
(05:19):
some very expensive bab a ganoosh is what we're going
to make. So first of all, Carlos Croia going zig
and zag. I gotta keep everyone on your toes. That's
a boxing. You got a bob and weave. What a story.
This is the atomic elbow from the top rope, the
Giants and Korea had both professed their love for one another.
(05:43):
It had been agreed upon, it had been reported. They'd
leaked it both sides and leaked. They made it public.
They made out in public, and they failed to cross
the teas and thought the eyes. The Giants got cold
feet at the altar. They had a change of heart.
However you want to say it. It is one thing
to talk about getting out of a contract, but it's
(06:05):
another thing to pull it off. And I hate doing
this as a dodger guy, But bravo to the Giants.
The greatest day in San Francisco Giants history in terms
of roster management is today, all right, tremendous. That they
pulled this off in is surprising, stunning, and stupefying that
the Giants were able to do this. Now, we mentioned
(06:25):
in a previous episode that this was always an impulse
purchase for San Francisco. They were rejected by their true love,
Aaron Judge. Aaron Judge turned them down. He's a Northern
California guy. He's geographically desirable. He said, I don't want
the Golden gate Bridge. I want the Bronx, the Bronx
(06:48):
whitestone bridge. That's the one I want. And so my
theory had been I said this at the time. My
theory was the giants were suffering from low self esteem.
It's like the old rebound. You know, you're getting a
relationship and it doesn't go well after a while, and
you need a rebound fund. And for the giants, they
(07:09):
pivoted and they're like, we got a lot of money,
and we want to spend the money. And so the
next FLUSI that walks down the street, we're gonna give
the money to and enter Carlos Correa. And now after
things have calmed down, they said, wait a minute, what
have we done here? Hold on a second. We need
a cooling off here, we have regrets, we have buyer's remorse.
(07:32):
They did some soul searching, introspection. More importantly, they looked
at the medical charts and they said, wait a minute,
this guy's he's got a major issue here. Their eyeballs
were as big as saucers, and Carlos Correa they determined,
wait a minute, this guy's not cracked up to be
the end all be all, And so the giants ended
(07:52):
up saying we're done. At the very last minute. Though
at the last minute, an hour before the hooting Nanny
was set to beginning an hour before the coronation. The
Giants say no, and it took all day into the night,
and Correa ends up bamboozling another baseball team to pay
(08:14):
him a ton of money. What a snake, all right? Now? Secondly,
what are the odds the New York Metropolitans regret that
they gave Korea this deal? So I'll be fair here.
I'm not gonna be a shock jock. The odds of
this working out for the Mets. The odds of this
not working out for the Mets rather, are one hundred percent.
(08:37):
One hundred percent. This is not gonna work out. Am
I making myself clear for those of you in the
back of the room. On every level, this is a
failure for Stephen Colin. Now I realized the Mets are
already in business with cheating astros. They signed that punk
justin Verland or a cheater. But this guy is the
king of sleeves balls, this Carlos Korea. You don't want
(08:59):
to associate yourself with people like this. He's as bestest.
Carlos kareas human as bestest, and now he's got that
extra stank because the Giants had a deal and backed
out because there was something that their doctors said was
wrong with this guy, and they would not rubber stamp
(09:20):
the contract. He's damaged goods on top of everything else,
whatever it was. I will gauntee you that in the
next forty eight to seventy two hours, and maybe we'll
have to delay that because the holiday weekends coming up here.
But we in the next week or so, we are
gonna find out someone's gonna leak from the Giants because
(09:41):
this is a bad look for them, and someone's gonna
take advantage on their PR team and spend this story
and they're gonna leak out to one of their friends
in the San Francisco media what exactly was red flagged
on the Carlos career contract. So now the Mets give
him a twelve year deal, and the same math applies
carea for the next three or four years. It shouldn't
(10:02):
be an issue. I'll give him four years with the
Mets at most, but that means he's got eight years
of deadweight. And I realized these hedge fund guys, they've
got endless money, and they've got a license to print
money and all that stuff. So for Stephen Collins, like
I used, just a Mets fanboy that owns the team
and it doesn't matter to him. He just wants to
see the Mets win. But that's the other problem. This
(10:24):
will not be legit for the next twelve years or
ever long. Koreas on the Mets roster the voice of
reason here in the middle of the night. Any team
that has a headliner from the twenty seventeen as throws
or should I say, the one one thousand two one
thousand holes on their team, it does not count. There
(10:48):
was no champion in twenty twenty two, didn't count because
that Jose Alboove and Alex Bregman, the punk they were
on that team still and that racist Julie Guriel So
sam logic applies to the New York Mets now. So
(11:08):
the nineteen eighty six ments. I gotta send my buddy
Lenny Diister a message. Hey Lenny, you're still good? All right?
Final thought, So we're at a fork in the road,
if you will. Correa has decided to go to the
left as opposed to the right. All right, So what
happens next in the Carlos Correa Mets soap opera? As
(11:31):
the Mets are now the lead actor, as they've picked
up the spoiled melk in Corea. So the next step
is he has to pass a physical, which will of
course make a mockery of modern medicine. And I was
just having this conversation the other night with Eddie garcia
Off here we were talking about doctors and how then
(11:54):
he reminded me of a stat that I've given a
few times. The number one leading cause of death is
medical incompetence. That your doctor screws up and makes a mistake,
all right, or somebody at the hospital makes a mistake.
That's the leading cause of human beings demise. And these
studies come out every couple years. They were studying in
(12:15):
a few years ago that pointed this out. So this
will again prove that if you want to get a
certain answer from a doctor, you can find the doctor.
Because the Mets have to find a doctor that will
give the old wink and a nod and the okay
thumbs up to the Carlos career physical. So a little
(12:36):
doctor's shopping will be going on. You would assume they'll
find doctor Nick Riviera from the Simpsons, or Doogie Howser MD,
or our friend Doc Mike, who's in Phoenix right now
but he's from Chicago, as a possibility. And then after that,
the Mets will schedule what figures to be a raucous
pep rally, just like the Giants were supposed to have.
(12:57):
And it shows you what kind of mercenary we've got,
an absolute mercenary. Carlos Grez he was. He was ready
to say all these wonderful things about the Giants and
how great they were, and how he always wanted to
play in that ballpark and he loved the fans. And
now he's gonna say the complete opposite about the Mets. Right,
come hell or high water, He's got to pass the physical.
He'll then be introduced, and what a dog and pony
(13:20):
show this is gonna be. And I hope I'm on
after it, so we can break it down here. These
introductory news conferences are typically paint by numbers designed by
the King of Pop. They are ABC easy as one, two, three, right,
follow the boy. They're played. They're like religious revivals. You
put the player up on a pedestal on the stage
(13:41):
with his agent and the GM and the manager and
Player X gets on the mic excited about the opportunity,
high expectations, praises the franchise, we expect to win, I
I demand to win. Talks about how much he loves
the city, the front office, and how this was meant
to be right it was set, and Dippity brags about
(14:01):
how great the franchise is. Excited. You know, the whole thing.
Pumps up the electorate, sell some tickets, get people jones
up to buy merchandise. But I'm telling you this one's
gonna be combative because Korea is a entitled, arrogant punk
and the New York media is gonna call him on
(14:23):
the bullcrap. He has been pampered, he's been coddled, he's
been protected by the fanboys in the Houston media. What
a soft nattack that is. Yeah, I mean the local
radio guys an embarrassment, right, They just they just lick
all over the players. They get mannaged in petties. They
don't criticize anybody, don't hold them accountable. The New York
(14:45):
media is a little different now. They're not like they
used to be. It's not the same era that we're in.
But there are still some rogue reporters who are going
to call Karea on his bullcrap, So good luck with
that smug woefully cocky at it food that Corea brings
to the table. And just wait, wait till snapcrack will
(15:05):
pop pops up on the radar and then the Giants
will be praised and the Mets will be goofed on
And that's how this is gonna play out, all right.

for the Mets payroll, three hundred and eighty million for
(26:26):
one season of Mets baseball, and with the tax that
they put on to discourage teams from spending a lot

be spending close to one hundred million dollars in addition
for all of the players they've signed. They brought back

We play this game every week at about this time.
And let's welcome into our concessant we have from the
North End of Boston. Blind Scott is going to play. Hello,
(27:31):
Blind Scott, what's up? Ben? I'm excited. You know. It's
a big time of the year in the North End
of Boston. I was at a lunch today with a
couple of senators and a couple of politicians. I gave
him tips on how to run the Statehouse. And I'm
in good shape and I'm ready to play some reindeer
games with you. I'm going to be give my picture
in the paper too. I had a photograph taking of
meat and a sandwich at the food pantry. It's gonna
be a great so show that I'm putting on. You
(27:53):
can't wait for that. I make sure you send me
a link on that so I can look at you.
A wonderful you are in the newspaper. All right, here
we go too much or not enough? You go five
for five. I'll give you two golden tickets, but all
you have to do is get three, right, you win
the game. Don't let Eddie cheat? Do cheat me on
this game? You know how? Don't cheat Eddie? No cheating?
All right? Question number one. On Monday, the La Rams
(28:15):
became the fourth team and the Common Draft era whatever
that is. I guess since nineteen sixty seven to have
multiple number one picks start at quarterback in a season?
Is that too much or not enough? Uh? Too much?
Lion Scott says, too much? Let's find out. Is he right?
(28:36):
That's correct? Yeah? Ye? What Okay, it's only one. It's
only one. You still got to get two more, right,
But they are only the second team to have two
different number one picks start the other the other. Uh.
The Panthers with David Carr okay and Vinny test. Question
(29:00):
number two, Aaron Rodgers has now won ten Monday Night
football games in or out? Is that too much or
not enough? Ah? Too much? Line Scott going with too
much yet again? Is his answer? You sure you want
to go with that? Yep, Yeah, that's fine. Out, that's right.
(29:24):
Got the dogs are barking too much. It was rogers
eighth consecutive Monday Night football win. Late great Ken Stabler
has the most, with eleven consecutive. Question number three, You
get this right, you win the game? Question three Joe Burrow.
(29:46):
Joe Burrow just became the third player in NFL history
to have seventy five passing touchdowns. Enough, not enough, not enough?
I'll go with not enough, but I haven't finished the question. Well,
I'm a probability dude. I go by statistics. I went
to M I T in Boston with the smartest mind
to the world, go too all right, So your answer
is again, you're the smartest guy. What's your answer? Not enough?
(30:09):
All right, mister smarty pants, Let's find out you got
it wrong. You've got it wrong, mister m I take
you got it wrong. Even the smartest people are wrong
once in a while, so I didn't completely question. But
Burrow seventy five touchdowns, ten rushing touchdowns, and he's the
third player in NFL through the first forty career games
(30:32):
to have those numbers. The answer was too much. He's
the first player to do it. So you're not gonna
sweep the board. But we go to question for blind Scott.
All right, not enough is the answer. I don't I
haven't even given the question. I'm a mind reader. I'm
a telepath and mind read I can. It's one of
these day crazy nights of Hanakah, and I think that
(30:54):
the answer is not enough, so I don't even need
to read the question. Yeah, I'm a medium. I'm a medium.
I can predict. All right, Well, I won't even bother
reading the question. That's fine, out blind. What's your final answer,
blind Scot? Not enough? Not enough? Let's fine, that's all
(31:17):
you dirty dog? You? How dare you holler? And James
won this game? Sleeping? Is you know? I know you
got more onto listen to show you make with blind
with the smartest minds in the world. Yeah, I am aware?

tomales and these tomales are corn I mean sorry, uh
cheese with um saltad uh, poblano peppers, onion, and tomato.
(34:16):
All right, these are delicious. I brought these. I've brought
this in before for you guys. All right, very good,
all right, very simple to bring them in the other day, Roberto,
you did not, No, I didn't know. Yeah, I'm gonna
bring him in tomorrow. Tomorrow, yeah, okay, yea right, all right,
all right, So these are in ja Quio. All right,
(34:37):
So we need eight pounds of chila poblanos olive oil,
one white onion chopped, saw and pepper, three garden cloves
minced and uh for for tomatoes, all right, chop and
eight pounds of masa. What size tomato? Little baby tomato?
M tomatoes are five roma tomato? All right? Tomato masa
(34:59):
is uh it's corn, you know, corn flowers. We used
to make the tamales. Yeah. Uh. If you obviously there's
no uh, if you can't go to any like local
grocery store and find massa that's made, because that's the
way my mom doesn't now she doesn't. It takes it
takes about an hour to make this this dough. I
know where we are, you can get it. Yeah, yeah,
(35:20):
and so in California. But I don't know that you
can get it everywhere. It takes about an hour to
make this dough and it's it's not fun. So my
mom just doesn't bother anymore. She goes to the low
grocery store and gets it there and it takes identical
to the way you make it at home. So short
many but you can get you can get at Walmart.
Had this thing, um my set guys the brand and
it's called instant corn massa flower. You just add water
(35:41):
to it, all right, am I not taste the same,
but the uh, well, Roberto, if you don't know the
other taste, then it's fine. Exactly know exactly there you go.
All right, So very simple stuff here, as if you
were making chilla Riano's remove stam and seeds from the
pablana peppers. We're gonna roast them over flame and add
and then add them to the bag a plastic back
(36:03):
to sweat them out and remove the burnt shell. All right,
just what's in the bag. So we move them out
at them, steam out with the fork or spoon and
move the shell. The burns the burn shell. All right.
We'll cut the poblanos about one third wide and no
longer than one and a half inches long, all right,
and then they pan. Add a few tablespoons of olive oil.
All right, okay, once oil. Once oil is hot, at onions,
(36:25):
salt and pepper and cooking tool again. Onions are a
little almost see through there, all right. Enjoy the sizzle. Yeah,
salted these bad boys. All right, We're gonna add some
minced garlic and cook for about one minute. All right.
I love the garlic. You know that. I'm all about
the garlic. Yeah, buddy, nature penicilla. Yeah, you gotta have garlic,
(36:45):
this bad boy. All right, we're gonna add chopped tomatoes.
Cooking tomatoes have released liquid and it's mostly evaporator. Right,
they thought these boys soften up. All right, but make
sure you keep the color in there, right, if it's
gonna have, you gonna have the red color for some
reason that they dry up just a little bit more
tomatoes towards the end there, all right. Yeah, you want
it visually pleasing, exactly. It's gonna look beautiful, baby. Okay, Well,
(37:07):
add pobos art. We'll add the pobonos and taste for salt,
all right, all right, boiled, big pot of water and
then we'll add the corn hust and then you're all
choked up. This is such an emotional meal for you,
so you're you can't believe how great this is gonna be.
These tamali. All right, we're gona add the corn hust,
boil boiled, big pot of water, add the corn hust,
(37:29):
and then we'll place them in a heavy object on
top and let the corn husts submerge completely for about
thirty minutes. They're gonna be so yummy and so delicious.
Soft and up once they once they're soft, all right,
and thoroughly salt. Dry them by grabbing a stack and
hitting them against the sink several times to dry off
the dry off the leaves all right. All right, and
(37:50):
we'll add the massa to the smooth side of the
of the corn husk in the thin layer. If you
bring the up to the light, the light was shining
through the massa. All right. Add cheese and raha mix,
leaving half inch at the top and bottom so it
doesn't spill out. All right, foldage no spillage, Fold the
(38:11):
massa less, Fold the massa less top part of the
Oh all right, to cook, put steamer in pot and
then add water. Tomatoes can be laid down or place
upright in this bad boy. All right, okay, all right,
you may need four tomatoes depending on the size of
the poblanos. Adjust ratios so that once everything is combined
and you get a spoon forward as mostly publanos, but
(38:33):
also a piece of tomato and onion massa should be
room temperature, all right. If you buy it and put
it in the fridge, it won't spread easily. Buy it
the morning you're going to make the tomales and then
leave it out, all right, don't mess around with you exactly.
You can also cover with wax paper so the cheesesn't
spill out, and so it's clear. So it's clear, right,
(38:55):
just like that, you got some authentic homemade tom als,
baby from the old Country, just like Roberto had when
you were a little boy growing up. That's right, so divine,
so tasty. Roberto and I want to put it out
because Dave Robert hasn't been fired. Yes, cooking with Robert down.
