Playball.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
It's our number three, our number three, and after another
pathetic weekend of baseball, our Yankees manager Aaron Boone and
GM Brian Cashman finally on the hot seat in the Bronx.

Speaker 1 (00:18):
We'll talk about that.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
Should Hall of Famer Mariano Rivera's achilles injury put an
end to the Yankees old timers' day, some are saying
they must.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
End the game. It's not safe.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
Giants started justin Verlander. He's forty two, having a miserable season.
You would like to continue pitching, he said in twenty
twenty six, and you explain why he wants to keep playing.
We'll talk about all that and more right now here.
It is our number three. The Bronx Bummers, not bombers. Bummers.

(00:54):
Welcome in the beginning of another hour of The Ben
Man Show. We are in the air everywhere, allies, and
we are the sound of the city, whatever city you

Speaker 1 (01:14):

(02:04):
The baseball scene here the dog Days the baseball season,
the month of August and that period after the All
Star Game, and the dog Days typically end around September first, right,
that's the home stretch for the playoffs and positioning.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
Try to get yourself ready for October.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
Baseball and the two New York baseball teams both have
something in common. One of them sucks, the other one blows.
So that's New York baseball right now. The Mets are
just awesomely bad, just awesomely bad. The team that I
want to talk with you about, though, is not the Mets.
It's the New York Yankees, who played like the Bad

(02:43):
News Bears in the World Series last year. When the
great Bonehead plays by Aaron Judge in centerfield, then Garrett
Cole failing to cover first base, and that fifth inning
meltdown against the Dodgers and the World Series one of
the great eightings I've ever watched as a baseball fan. Well,
the Yankees got off to a pretty good start this year,
but you have to play the whole season and things

(03:04):
are not going well. So are lead This hour is
from the Bronx Zoo, where the Yankees' patrons are not
handling the downfall of the Marty New York Yankees. They
were not impressed with a seven to one loss to
the cheating a one one thousand and two one thousand

(03:24):
holes on Sunday. Now, if you didn't see the reaction,
maybe you missed it.

Speaker 1 (03:30):
What you were doing.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
It's summer, you're out and joining life, living your life.
So the natives are restless in the Bronx, they're not happy.
Fans were spotted wearing paper bags over their heads, calling
out Yankee manager Aaron Boone, who loves to coddle his
Yankee players. He coddled them like little babies.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
Now this was during the loss.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
Now New York has now lost seven of their Last night,
I didn't play in the major leagues. I think that's
bad being too critical. I think that's about seven of nine.
They currently sit at number three, number three, number three
in the American League East standings, and they are six

(04:14):
and a half games.

Speaker 1 (04:15):
Behind all cana.

Speaker 2 (04:18):
The Toronto Blue Jays, who beat the Dodgers on Sunday
to avoid the sweep, and their overall record. The Yankees
find themselves at just six games over five hundred, and
they led the division at the beginning of July. The
Bronx Bombers have a mere half game lead, just a
half game lead over a team named after a bridge,

(04:41):
a team named after a bleeping bridge, the Cleveland baseball
team for the final American League wild card spot. So
let us discuss the question for the esteem panel. Our
Yankees manager Aaron Boone, JM. Brian Cashman finally on the

(05:04):
hot seat. Are they finally feeling the heat in the Bronx.
So I've got Madagascar, bubble wrap, and astrology chart, and
we will combine all of these things together. We're gonna
make a dirty water Dog because the Yankees have been
playing like.

Speaker 1 (05:23):
Yes, dirty water dogs is what they've been playing like.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
So my first thought here, hot seat you're talking about,
how what's a hot seat?

Speaker 1 (05:33):
What are you talking about?

Speaker 3 (05:34):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (05:34):
Yeah, sure, And I'm gonna win power Ball on Tuesday.
I don't even play power Ball on Tuesday, but I'm
gonna win, just like Aaron Boone and Brian Cashman are
on the hot seat. Now, I would have fired both
these guys years ago, both of them. I got no
skin in the game when it comes to the Yankees,
but I would have gotten into both these guys.

Speaker 1 (05:56):
Brian Cashman has been there since nineteen ninety eight.

Speaker 2 (05:59):
The yank Kees haven't consistently been good in about fifteen years,
at least at least fifteen years, but he's been there
twenty seven years, kept the job. But I've been at
Fox Sports Radio for a long time. My entire time here,
Brian Cashman has been the GM of the Ages. Now
Boone is going on his eighth year. This is his

(06:21):
eight season as manager of the New York Yankees. Wild
these guys are about as safe at this point as
the pope. Now you know how you no longer are
the pope. That's the way you lose the pope job.
And well, these guys are saying the reason after a
minutes long Mallard deliberation that I don't buy the noise

(06:43):
about Aaron Boom being on the hot seat in Brian Cashman.
Hal Steinbrenner is not hardwired to give a rats ass.
He just doesn't care. He does not care. If he cared,
he would have made changes years ago. I see no evidence,
no evidence that changes are coming. He's just not the

(07:06):
old man. He's not George.

Speaker 1 (07:08):
He's how And in this case, the apple does fall far.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
From the mansion and the tree in the backyard of
the mansion. Hal Steinbrenner is the He's the quiet caretaker.
That's what he is, right, He's the quiet Caretaker's old
family money. We always talk about this. It's the Great Gatsby.
You've got old family money and new family money. When
it's new money, you go for it. You're motivated, you're passionate.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
New money.

Speaker 2 (07:38):
Old money, lazy, lazy, trust fund baby money, trust fund
baby money.

Speaker 1 (07:43):
That's the Yankees, right.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
He's more interested in profit margins with the Yankees than Penance.
And it's an idiot proof business. When you own the
New York Yankees, it just is. And the fans wearing
the paper bag on the head, well, it makes for
a good vibe photo on the socials and it's kind
of cute and all that. There is something that is

(08:05):
much more, much more powerful, and that would be an
empty Yankee stadium on a Sunday afternoon. That is apathy
with a capital A. Apathy with a capital A is
what that is.

Speaker 1 (08:20):
Right. The paper bag is a sign. It's a sign
that you're engaged, that you still care.

Speaker 2 (08:29):
And having been around professional sports for a long time
and talk to executives over the years, every one of
them that have had this conversation with and there have
been more than a handful, have told me the same thing.
They say they don't care about people calling up radio
shows and planning, they don't care about mean social media posts.
They don't care about the paperbags because they got you

(08:51):
by the balls. They got you by the balls because
you still care. And the Yankee fans are engaged even
though they're angry, and the Yankees are aware that these
dopes will still show up tomorrow and the next day
and the day after that, and the Wall Street guys
that buy the Yankee tickets will fill the luxury boxes

(09:13):
and those seats behind home plate and they'll drink the
twenty dollars Martiniz and they'll talk about hedge funds.

Speaker 1 (09:18):
And all that other crap while.

Speaker 2 (09:19):
The Yankees lose. To fill in the blank, whatever team
they're playing, it's the brand. It's idiot proof.

Speaker 1 (09:26):
They are.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
I'm telling you, they are the mighty New York Yankees,
and anyone can do it. People pay for the pinstripes,
they pay for the tradition. They don't pay for the standings.
They don't. Hal Steinbrenner, he knows this. He didn't do
anything to make the Yankees successful. He just happened to
inherit the ownership. It's the family business. And he can say, well,

(09:51):
George Steinbrenner didn't do anything to make the Yankees. Well,
I would argue he did, George Steinbrenner. Not like they
won a bunch, but the Yankees they had not won.
The Yankees had a stretch in the eighties where they
went a good amount of time in the early nineties
where it was not a domination situation by any means.

(10:14):
Yet they still move the needle, the Yankees and Housetin Brenner,
the current owner, he knows he doesn't need to blow
the thing up. And because the printing press is still there.
He's got the money coming in. And Aaron Boone's not
even a real manager. Aaron Boone's a sock puppet. He

(10:34):
lacks the fire in his belly. And all the old
Yankees all agree that he just coddles the modern player
and he's just a mister softy.

Speaker 1 (10:43):
Aaron Boone.

Speaker 2 (10:43):
He massages them, he tickles their tummy, and he gives
them a shoulder rub, and he rubs their toes. That's
Aaron Boone. That's Aaron Boone, his Yankee manager, all right,
that's his public persona. And all these guys who are
trying to cover for Aaron Bon's o, well, privately, he's
he's a hard ass. He's a you know, chap ass.

Speaker 1 (11:03):
Does anyone believe that.

Speaker 2 (11:05):
I'm sure there are some dumb people that believe that.
I don't believe that Aaron Boone is a mouthpiece. He's
a middle manager. He's a mouthpiece for Brian Cashman. And
as Goose Gossage said, the army of nerds that follow
Cashman around, and the spreadsheet nerds and the analytical and
the scouting, all those guys, if they tell I am convinced,

(11:28):
let me tell you how much of a puppet, Aaron
Boone is if Brian Cashman saw some somewhere on the on.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
The dark web that value added.

Speaker 2 (11:40):
The Yankees would be better off if their left fielder
was a Madagascar hissing cockroach. Cashman would call down to
the manager's office and Yankee Stadium say hey, Aaron Boone,
We're gonna we gotta put this Madagascar hissing cockroach in field.

Speaker 1 (12:01):
Aaron Boone would say, yes, sir.

Speaker 2 (12:03):
He'd hang up the phone, and he changed the Yankee
lineup and by first pitch the left fielder and leadoff
hitter for your New York Yankees the Madagascar hissing cockroach.

Speaker 1 (12:15):
I'm telling you.

Speaker 2 (12:17):
Nothing is going to change, not fans with paper bags
on their head. I just I will believe it when
it happens, because I don't believe it. I've sat here
just like Mike Tomlin. He's fired, Mike Thomas fired, Brian Cashman.
Nothing changes, nothing changes. And the reason why again to

(12:37):
double down. These are not your daddy's Yankees.

Speaker 1 (12:42):
And the sooner the.

Speaker 2 (12:43):
Fans figure that out, the better. Now they're not firing
anyone until the TV ratings and the attendants plummet free
fall in free fall spoiler alert. If you look at
the attendants, the Dodgers are number one, you know who.

Speaker 1 (13:03):
Second the Yankees. The Yankees are, that's right, and the
TV ratings are strong. So status quo, all right. Now.

Speaker 2 (13:16):
Secondly, staying in the Bronx over the weekend and amusing moments,
several of you said, did you see this, sir, aren't
you the age of Marion A?

Speaker 1 (13:25):
Very thank you? Yes, I'm now old.

Speaker 2 (13:27):
So over the weekend, Hall of Famer Mariano Rivera, the Sandman,
Marion Rivera tore his achilles. He was chasing a fly
ball at Yankees Old Timers Day. And now, of course,
as expected, people are freaking out. The over reaction crowd. Well,
they've got to end this Old Timers Day. They've got

(13:49):
to shut the thing down. It's just not safe. You
can't have these guys getting heard out there, the old
timers at Yankee Stadium. All right, So question should should
Mariano Rivera's injury put an end to the Yankees Old
Timers Day? So I have two letters. I have an

(14:14):
end and I have an O. You put them together
and now, absolutely not.

Speaker 1 (14:20):
This is one of the.

Speaker 2 (14:21):
Great traditions in baseball, and you bring back the legends.

Speaker 1 (14:25):
You celebrate that, and we all understand it. You're never gonna.

Speaker 2 (14:30):
Get nineteen ninety nine, two thousand, Mariano Rivera. He's in
his fifties. Now, you're not gonna get that guy. And
we all understand that professional sports are played by young people.
People in their twenties and thirties are played are players
in sports because you're in your peak physical condition when

(14:51):
you're in your twenties and your thirties, and when you're older,
the body is more fragile and it's more likely to
have snap crackle, pop goes the kill these rice crispies.

Speaker 1 (15:03):
It just is now.

Speaker 2 (15:04):
Regardless of that, regardless of it, you cannot live your
life wrapped in bubble wrap. You cannot do it now.
There are people that do it. There are people that
do it. You should not do it right, You should
not do it. Otherwise you're just in the fetal position
the whole time, and you're on your couch and you're
sucking your thumb like the boy in the bubble All.

Speaker 1 (15:27):
Right, come on, spoiler alert. Life has dangers.

Speaker 2 (15:33):
There are real dangers when you leave your house, there
are real dangers you cross the street. You can get
absolutely smoked by a bus, right absolutely, there could be
You could be at the grocery store and an asteroid
from deep space comes crashing through. Do you see that
video over the weekend of somebody's house asteroid came down. Yeah,

(15:56):
in Georgia. Pretty pretty wild. See, you can't approach life
that way.

Speaker 1 (16:02):
You can't. You can't play scared. You can't be scared.
You lose the whole point of it.

Speaker 2 (16:07):
In this case, we're talking about adopey Old Timers Day
and all that, and these guys are competitors and they
want to go out there and perform, and we talk
about the glory days and all that stuff. Now, much
like the Yankees we talked about. The only way they'll
be changed is if the attendance goes down and the
TV ratings go down. Now, for Old Timers Day, the

(16:29):
only way this goes away is if the Pinstripers cannot
get it insured. If they can't get insurance, now, the
Yankees will be able to get insurance because they're the Yankees, Right,
the Pinstripers could ensure Billy Martin, the ghost of Billy
Martin would get insurance because they're the Yankees, and so
they'll keep it going. Injuries be damned, injuries be damned.

(16:52):
It'll never be safe enough for that crowd, you know
who those people are, never be safe enough. And frankly,
that's kind of part of the fun. It's like, which
old timer guy's gonna get hurt? Will it be a
pop Achilles? Will it be an acl injury?

Speaker 1 (17:05):
What is it going to be? Who knows? It's a
grab bag? All right now?

Speaker 2 (17:10):
A final thought to San Francisco. I'm old enough to
rememb when the Giants got off to a good start. Also,
the Higantes are a three letter word ba D That
is the Giants here now. Justin Verlander, one of the
off season editions. His twentieth big league season has been
a clunker with a capital C, A clunker.

Speaker 1 (17:34):
Now.

Speaker 2 (17:34):
Verlander has an ERA of four point five to three
this year. He's pitched a little bit less than a
one hundred innings for the Higantes and he got smashed
by the last place Washington Nationals.

Speaker 1 (17:50):
I guess that natitude did him in there on Sunday.

Speaker 2 (17:53):
So this follows an ERA of five and a half
for the cheating Ahhstros in an injury plague season in
twenty twenty four. So despite currently floating on the Tijuana River.

Speaker 1 (18:09):
Now that is the river that is filled with raw sewage.

Speaker 2 (18:12):
It's one of the reasons when the beach is the
last beach in San Diego.

Speaker 1 (18:17):
I believe it's called Imperial Beach.

Speaker 2 (18:19):
You cannot swim there because the Tijuana River from Baja California,
it just flows out raw sewage, raw poop, right into
the ocean right there in San Diego. That's essentially Justin Verlander.
That's essentially Justin Verlander at this particular point. So he
wants to return in twenty twenty six. So that's the question.

(18:43):
That's a jumping off point, giants starter. Justin Verlander. He's
forty two, he's having a miserable season, and he would
like to continue pitching in twenty twenty six. Can you
explain why? So yes, I can't explain why. And I'd
like to Chane handle the astrology insider Andrea from Berkeley.

(19:04):
Here the astrology chart in cleats. It is a prime number,
the number thirty seven. That is why Verlander is thirty
seven wins away from the mystical, magical three hundred win plateau.
And it's like that round number disease. We talk about

(19:25):
that round number disease for pitchers. Guys will hang around
and they'll chase it.

Speaker 1 (19:31):
Even if they have to do it playing.

Speaker 2 (19:34):
At a rec league somewhere, beer league softball, and Verlanders
seems to be that guy. He says, if he has
a major injury, he's going to retire. Other than that,
he's going to keep playing. And he'll be out there.
His arm will literally be duct taped, his elbow will
be duct taped, and he'll be out there trying to
pitch for the Giants and they'll they'll have to cut
the uniform off him, literally Verlander, and he's he'll be

(19:58):
the guy out there, forty five years old. I'm throwing
eighty two miles an hour, and you'll just slop batting practice,
slop on the mound, and someone's gonna have to tell.

Speaker 1 (20:08):
Him, Hey, Verlander, go home. We don't need you anymore.

Speaker 2 (20:11):
He's got one win this year, one, he's made twenty starts.
The Giants are five and fifteen. When he pitches, I'm
told that's not good. And I'm told that's not good. Now.
As a distant relative of Nostradamus and friend of nostradenis.

Speaker 1 (20:29):
We know how this story ends for Verlander. He leaves the.

Speaker 2 (20:33):
Giants in twenty twenty six, looking into the almighty all
powerful crystal ball. He goes back to Motown. Verlander goes
to the Detroit Tigers. To complete the circle. You gotta
complete the circle. Verlander wants to close the circle. And
as Andrea would tell you, the circle of course representing

(20:54):
the Sun, the Moon, and the Earth's got to close
the circle. There cosmic alignment, cosmic alignment and going to
power them through, to power them through and all that stuff.
And they have a multi year desperate attempt to get
the thirty seven wins, which, if you do the math
on this, if Verlander can win two more games, which

(21:17):
is a lot, he's only got one win. If you
win two more games this year, be thirty five wins away.
So he would have to pitch three more years and
average about twelve wins a year to get to that
magical number. So that's if he gets two more wins
this year, which means he'll be pitching when he's forty
five trying to get that final twelve wins to get

(21:40):
over the threshold. And I'm seeing it right now, goes
back to Kamerica Park, the old English d and we're
on our way.

Speaker 1 (21:49):

Supermarket Steve, that schmuck says, I'm pretty sure the yan
He's have a better chance than you in winning the

on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. Other than that, You're right,

(25:10):
My Yankees do do suck.

Speaker 1 (25:13):
He says.

Speaker 2 (25:14):
It's Supermarket Steve, and of course Steve it depends what
time zone you're in. You can say, well, the powerball
happens on as you said, Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. But
if you bought a powerball ticket and then you went
to like New Zealand.

Speaker 1 (25:29):
Then you'd say, well, it would be a day later
or a day earlier, depending on how you look at
those things.

Speaker 2 (25:36):
Biggery Rob says, been we literally had senators shot at
a congressional baseball game. They still play, So a torn
Achilles tad in ain't stopping the old timers not going

where our friend Muffett McGraw is in the pro Bouncy
Ball Hall of Fame, says after the WNBA announced.

People love that story, dark Star. It is a wonderful
sy Donkey Saws says. Explosive diarrhea. King Rory going with
a catch up smoothie is the reason there. No, it's

(27:40):
absolutely disgusting. I forty Ian says. The news conference ended
early after Antonio Brown was found hiding from the law
in the Steelers' locker room, and ferg Dog says, because
nobody could get Willis to stop barking. Chris and Kent
Washington says after he had a sudden onset case of
explosive die die diarrhea from Chris and Kent Washington, Lady

(28:02):
simergency ever see word that the Gilmore Girls Marathon was
just underway.

Speaker 1 (28:07):
Uh, let's see who else? Do we have a page?

Speaker 2 (28:09):
Dan Stevie Meatball is very funny. Can't say that one
he had ended because Mike the Leprechaun showed up. That's
guessed by Scrooge and it's his answer. Uh, mister Irrigation says,
because Tomlin was so shaken by the new Vikings male cheerleader.

Speaker 1 (28:26):
I saw that over the weekend. All right, let's go
the phones. So hello to.

Speaker 2 (28:32):
Jerome. Bring it home, Jerome. Let's see what Jerome's complaining
about in Charleston. Hello, Jerome, welcome.

Speaker 3 (28:40):
I had to laugh when you ad made the comment
about tom was getting excited about a male cheerleader.

Speaker 2 (28:48):
Well, they're they're they're here, man. The Rams have one.
The two Vikings added one.

Speaker 1 (28:56):
There might be more male cheerleaders than you know.

Speaker 3 (29:00):
Really, we can only hold. We can only hold, can't we? Hey,
By the way, don't you think it's kind of ironic
that rashaan slave and his wife put a curse on
him or something. But not long after he divorced her
because he didn't want to share his big sat new
contract with him, he blew out his leg and now

(29:21):
he's out for a whole damn season.

Speaker 2 (29:24):
Well, he still gets the money though, Jerome, he still
gets the money.

Speaker 1 (29:28):
He just got a rehab, which sucks. But he's got
the money.

Speaker 3 (29:31):
But he can't play it. He can't please.

Speaker 1 (29:33):
He's got the money, though you wouldn't you rather have
the money?

Speaker 3 (29:37):
Yeah, I have not have the money, but I signed it.
Kind of ironic that after that happened after he dumped her,
so he signed that contract. This happens.

Speaker 2 (29:48):
Oh, no, that actually happened. That happens more than you
think there. Do you remember Eric Spolster, the coach of
the Heat. He was in a divorce and they waited
until the day I think it was the day after
after the divorce became official.

Speaker 1 (30:02):
The coach of the Heat was he was with a cheerleader.

Speaker 2 (30:05):
He ended up marrying a cheerleader for the Miami Heat,
and then they got divorced, like the day after they
signed him to like this huge extension the day after
the divorce became final.

Speaker 3 (30:14):
In love Grand Van ain't love Grand. Hey, look here,
Busta Polsi a dumb half or what he's paying Borland
of fifteen million dollars this year for one one damn win. Okay,
one damn win Busta Posy general Manager of the year.
And by the way, they're going to erect the new
statue for bad Bonds. I take medicine aty, I take influence.

(30:39):
Do they need me to send them some surrenders so
they can like attach it to the statue because he
ain't a chief. Nobody's achieved.

Speaker 2 (30:47):
Oh listen, there is cheaters in the Hall of Fame
at this point. It's so ridiculous.

Speaker 3 (30:51):
Who like who, ma'am? Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah.
You got to name some guys. They were on the commission,
the drugglers. I'm sure you could.

Speaker 2 (31:00):
But hey, you don't have a problem with them getting
in Hall of It. You have a problem with Barry
Bonds because he was the poster boy for cheating. My
old point is that the Jerome I said at the Times,
they don't put these guys in the Hall of Fame.

Speaker 1 (31:09):
The whole era is tainted.

Speaker 2 (31:11):
They a bunch of those guys are in the Hall
of Fame that were suspected steroid cheats.

Speaker 1 (31:16):
Their names were on the list. You know, David Ortiz
is on there.

Speaker 2 (31:19):
You know, one example, big popular and you go down
the list of players that were on that that commissioners
investigation and all that stuff, and they're in.

Speaker 1 (31:29):
The Hall of Fame.

Speaker 3 (31:32):
They like your favorite team because you get real for
a cliff like that Jason Smiths guy. Whenever these New
York teams don't do so well.

Speaker 2 (31:39):
You mean, well, it's great because every year, Jerome, the
beginning of the season, I have to hear all this
propaganda about how the Mets are going to be wonderful,
the Yankees are going to be great. If it's basketball season,
they'll watch out for the Knickerbockers. You know, they don't
even do it anymore for the Giants and the Jets
because they've been so bad for so long and they
stop piping those teams up.

Speaker 1 (31:59):
But every other team in New York, they hi bop.
They love to talk about great they're going to be.

Speaker 2 (32:03):
And then mid season they're blowing chunks and I love it.

Speaker 3 (32:07):
That's because you got a lot of New York Homeless
on Fox. Okay, don't you listen to your own network?

Speaker 2 (32:13):
Huh No, I don't actually listen. I worry about my show.
I don't worry about other people show. That's their problem,
not my problem. They gotta worry about their own shows.

Speaker 3 (32:21):
What I need to mention this teabout Northwestern. They're building
an eight hundred to million dollars football steadium, State of
the Yard, the most expansive football teatum in the history
of college football. I didn't know Northwestern was that rich.
I didn't know they had that many rich people rich.

Speaker 2 (32:40):
There's a lot of people that went to Northwestern that's
done pretty well for themselves.

Speaker 3 (32:44):
So Western, man, they've win less in football. Uh never,
that's a good answer answer. Okay, all right. By the way, Plander,
he's never getting the three hundreds.

Speaker 1 (33:01):
Never never say never, never say never.

Speaker 3 (33:07):
Unless he's talked to that persuf like sheeting and all that. Never.

Speaker 2 (33:13):
Okay, all right, well, if you said it, you're home.
It's not gonna I gotta go, thank you. Go right,
let's say a lot of Andrea the Astrology Insider, you
punch up the right line here. She's in Berkeley. She
knows all about prime numbers and cosmic events.

Speaker 6 (33:28):
And how are you?

Speaker 2 (33:31):
If I was any better, I would have been that
four hundred and seventy million year old asteroid that hit
Earth back. I guess it was actually in June. I
saw the video over the weekend though, this house in Georgia,
and they went back and they looked and they said
that it's it's actually older than Earth.

Speaker 1 (33:49):
How about that?

Speaker 6 (33:50):
Interesting? I know there's a PRINCHI had meteor shower. We
had a full moon in Leo lions Gate eight eight.
There was a lot going on. So thank you for
the shout out. I was listening, of course.

Speaker 2 (34:03):
Well, Verlander, cosmic event, your name, we think of astrology,
we think of you.

Speaker 6 (34:10):
Yes, thank you on the Astrology Insider, the ustrology lady,
the sports sorceress, you name it.

Speaker 2 (34:16):
You have a lot of identities, You're you're a woman
of many identities.

Speaker 6 (34:21):
Yes, And I was actually watching the game, man, I
was watching the Giants game with Verlander and Mikeen Doolences.

Speaker 2 (34:28):
Shout designed Mikeen Doolence, Oh he did, Yeah, that was
one of the highlights, but overall down.

Speaker 6 (34:35):
Hill after that, like really bad. And you know I've
been saying all along, Mars is a crucial plan for
an athlete who was energy, assertion, aggression, and neptune transit
is the three d's dispirited, defeated, disillusioned. So they just
got him at the wrong time. You know, he's a mentor,

(34:55):
he's a good teacher for the pictures, but they didn't
get him for that. So any I was actually calling
about Leo tom Brady and the statue talk about the
full moon in Leo. He's born August third, nineteen seventy seven,
and he got that statue unveiled, and you know, Leo's

(35:18):
love attention. They love to get admired, and he was,
you know, in all his glory and then he made
that comment about how Jets fans can throw their beers
at the statue. So he was really pretty funny about that.

Speaker 2 (35:34):
Yeah, I don't know the white pants though. I just
think I see people in white pants, I think a hole.
You know, there's something about people in white pants. I
just I feel like you're like an elitist with the
white pants.

Speaker 1 (35:46):
I just like I had a little much. The white pants.

Speaker 6 (35:50):
Yeah, I saw that. I was. I posted an article
on Twitter and it has it's actually from People magazine
and he talked about feeling old, but yeah, you see
the white pants, and he said, I feel it's certainly honored,
deeply grateful, and if I'm being honest, kind of old.

Speaker 3 (36:08):
So that was yeah.

Speaker 1 (36:10):
Yeah, they don't generally give young people statues.

Speaker 6 (36:12):
Right, so you know, it is what it is. And oh,
before I forget, mercury is coming out of retrograde, as we.

Speaker 2 (36:20):
Said, Oh, good news, good news for weed man hippie
there in Miami.

Speaker 1 (36:24):
Yeah, good news.

Speaker 6 (36:26):
Yes, August eleventh. It was July seventeenth to August eleventh.
And remember the retro shade. It's not quite one hundred percent.
It will take another couple of weeks, but for all
intents and purposes, it's out of retrograde.

Speaker 2 (36:42):
So I definitely want to All right, well, very good, well,
