Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go. It's our Numbber four. We'll call this
the Spacoli Hour, Hour number four. We go to Chapel Hill,
conflicting reports, some saying the end is near, that buyout
talks are underway in North Carolina, others saying no premature.
Can you explain why things have gone so badly for
(00:22):
Bill Belichick at North Carolina and how we got to
this point? Also, how much stalk do you give reports
of North Carolina digging into rules violations under Bill Belichick?
And what happens next? If Belichick is out at North
Carolina sooner than later? As is he preparing to leave
North Carolina? Well, if he is, where's he gonna end up?
(00:43):
We'll talk about all of that and more right now,
settle in and have a wonderful Thursday, this ninth day
of October. Here it is our number four from Chapel
Bill to Bill the pill. Well, come in the beginning
(01:04):
of another hour of the Ben Mahler Show. We are
in the air, verywear in alliance as we enjoy some happy,
happy juice coast to coast, porter the border and beyond.
On the vast and flamboyantly powerful microphones of fs are
am monating live from the elbow as we rub elbows
(01:29):
with homeless people from the world famous Fox Sports Radio studios,
as approved by Queen Roxanne in the great State of Colorado.
And this portion of the Ben Maler Show on Fox
made possible in part by our friends at ty Iraq.
For over forty years, ty Iraq has been helping customers
find the right tires for how, what and where they drive,
ship fast and free, backed by free road hazard protection
(01:52):
with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation tire i

of the Ben Maley Show also made possible part by
our friends at Express Employment Professionals. That's right. Business fluctuations
make running your manufacturing business complex. But as Alf and
Fergdog you have told me, staffing your business doesn't have
(02:15):
to be. Let Express Employment Professionals provide the workforce you need.
Go to expresspros dot com to find the location near you.
That's expresspros dot com. So developing story here, developing story
in college football, A humdinger of a story. So they
give you the basics. We'll go to Chapel Hill. The
(02:37):
walls are caving in on Bill Belichick in his run
on Tobacco Road, you're just saying, well, it's what's only
been five games, what are we doing here? Well, if
you have not been following very dramatic turn of events,
here a one point eighty flip flop, we are told
now if you missed it, the almighty Hoodie Bill Belichick
(03:00):
is supposedly behind the scenes negotiating through his reps some
kind of buyout from North Carolina. He's ready to cut
a check and get the hell out of Dodge and
all that. Now, there are conflicting reports. The deal is
not done. Belichick, he's trying to push back on that,
and meekly pushed back, Well, he's going to stay till
(03:22):
the end of the year at least. And so it's
not I don't believe everything you hear. And so there
are varying reports. There are some reports that indicate the
man Belichick, who once fined players for being late to
team meetings, has been ghosting his own coaching staff when
North Carolina had the week off a little while back.
(03:42):
So let us discuss the question for the esteem panel.
Can you explain why things have gotten so rotten, why
they've gone so badly? For Bill Belichick at North Carolina.
So I've got the belt, billiards, and scuba mask, and
we will combine all of these things together and we'll
(04:05):
make a deal with the devil, and then we'll have
some gobba goool. We'll have the gobbagool. So to lead
off here, though Bill Belichick was we know what he
was supposed to do. The brochure said turbo charge turbo
charge things. And the tar Hills have been, to be kind,
they have been stagnant. It's about as fun watching North
(04:26):
Carolina play football's having your teeth pulled. Welcome to Dolesville, USA.
And they're not just bad North Carolina like I thought
they'd be. Somewhe Deon Sanders is not doing a great
job at Colorado, but they're at least entertaining. It's apathetic
at North Carolina. North Carolina u NC. It looks like
they they're practicing on zoom and they're also practicing social distancing.
(04:51):
Back in the COVID days with no social social distance
means no blocking, no tackling. They're distancing themselves from that. Now,
how bad are they? Great question? So the tar Hills
as coached by Bill Belichick, all that non sweet talk
from Belichick. The Tar Hills, out of one hundred and
thirty six schools in D one, are ranked one hundred
(05:14):
and thirty second in offense, one hundred and thirty second. Now,
I didn't play college football. I don't think that's good.
When you're down there with Coastal Carolina, Kent State, Northern Illinois,
and UMass, things are not going very well. You haven't
exactly galvanized the Tar Hills. But wait, there's more. So, Wow,
(05:34):
Belichick's not an offensive guy. He let other people take
care of the Patriots offense. He's a defensive guy. Okay,
fair enough, all right, So how about that North Carolina defense?
Are they rocking and rolling there on defense? Well, what's
your definition of rocking and rolling? They are better than
the offense. North Carolina again, out of one hundred and
thirty six schools, is ranked ninety eighth, ninety eight. They're contemporary.
(05:56):
Sure are the other schools right around where Bill Belichick
is at this point in history, Southern miss Texas State
and Western Kentucky the Hilltoppers. So it was a great
science experiment. You take the grumpiest man in football and
you drop him in a sleepy college town full of
(06:16):
nil kids and TikTokers, and it's gonna work. It's gonna work.
It's a culture mismash. It's city slickers versus country bumpkins.
And right now the country bumpkins are winning and the
city slickers are not winning. And so is there a
purge underway? Now? The biggest problem is, rather obviously the
biggest problem is promise is broken. That promise is broke.
(06:40):
Don't let your mouth write checks your body can't cash.
And it wasn't even so much Bill Belichick. A lot
of these things didn't come from Belichick. It was the people,
you know, friends and family that he brought in there
and invitation only, invitation only. It's the posse, the motley
crew around Belichick, name podcaster Mike Lombardi who's been writing
(07:02):
the Belichick train his entire life. And yeah, the kids
on the coaching staff. You got the floozy girlfriend. It
really is the odd you know, the odd couple, the
motley crew. The issue though, when you take all of
these people, right, you put all of these people and
you put them down in North Carolina, and then it's
the belt, right, you don't bring the taboo. You get
(07:23):
the girlfriend. Now you don't win. If you if you're
gonna win, it's like I put up it. Otherwise it's humiliating, right,
it's humiliation on parade, and that doesn't play well in
the Bible Belt. And so now the as one of
the reports that the rats are leaving the ship and
it's you know, it's like the Titanic and all this stuff,
and the coaches are looking for other gigs. But this
(07:46):
is the chef's kiss, all right, It's a chef's kiss
perfect Now supposedly, assistants are already calling teams that are
supposed to be in the playoffs and say, hey, you
know something, Michael Haywire here, you can't make this stuff up.
You can't. I mentioned the Titanic, but it's like the Titanic,
(08:06):
except instead of the band playing, Belichick sitting in his
office kind of mumbling, he's got marble mouth. He's a
do your job. Well, he's on a date with his girlfriend.
The walls are melting, they're melting furthermore, but staying with
the theme of the hour. Staying with the theme of
the hour was reading that there are supposed a serious
(08:27):
recruiting violations that are under investigation in house investigation by UNC. Now,
what does that report tell us? It tells us that
people have an axe to grind with Bill Belichick. They
got a big problem with Belichick and they are going
for it right. Recruiting and practice violations have already supposedly
(08:48):
been proven by the school, by the school that according
to various reports on the dark web. So the question
how much stark do you give reports of North Carolina
digging into rules violations under Bill Belichick. So this is known,
and there's a clinical term for it. It's more of
(09:09):
a political term than a football term, but it applies here.
I think you'll agree. When they go low, I go lower.
See that's the playbook. When they go low, I go lower.
So people are out to get Belichick, and it's billiards
is what it is. It's it's dirty pool. It's Belichick
(09:31):
now is behind the eight ball. The team blows, people
hate him, and they're leaking all of these stories. And
it's really a game of whack a mole where you
knock down one story over here, and then another story
happens over here, and so then you knock that one down,
but then it's in the middle, and then you've got
to go over here and you end up playing whackable.
(09:53):
It has been said that many of these universities they
used they weaponized recruiting violations, like if they don't like
the coach anymore and they want to save some money
on the buyout as well, you broke some by laws
of the school. It's like a standard operating procedure thing.
The nc DOUBLEA bylaws those alone. If you've ever read
(10:13):
the nc DOUBLEA by laws, I don't recommend it if
you want to fall asleep or something like that. They're
on the interweb. But the NCUBA by laws alone, okay,
contain thousands, thousands of regulations that have penalties and whatnot.
Many of them are obscure, a lot of them are
very technical, and there's a lot of duplication, a lot
(10:37):
of dupes on there. And so by the letter of
the law, you can find an NCAA violation if you want.
It's kind of like the police can pull you over
and they can find some there's so many laws in
the police code for how you drive and how you
(10:57):
change lanes and what your car thatting on your winners,
Like I think can find a million reasons to pull
you over because technically, right Now, if you're driving a
lot of you get up early this hour to beat
the traffic because you're a grown up, you're right now
violating the law. You don't realize you're violating the law,
but you're violating law right, and so by the letter
of the law you can find some kind of NC
(11:18):
double A violation. Had the Tar Hills been cooking with
gas on the field, then all of that would be ignored,
all of it. You'd have you'd have what you have
tunnel vision, all right. And since they suck, you put
cyanide in the soup. Is what you do? Right? Is
that Matza ball soup? No, it's cyanide soup. Now the
(11:38):
irony here, the greatest defensive mind of all time is
if you believe these reports getting out schemed, the guy
that was one step ahead of the NFL for most
of his time in New England is getting out schemed
by his own school and the NC double A compliance department.
Is that how this is going to end? Death by paperwork?
Speaker 2 (12:03):
All right?
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Last thing? Now we mentioned there are conflicting reports, but
there's this big expose about how everyone's out to get Belichick.
He's a schmuck, you know, all that stuff, all the
things that we've kind of known about Bill Belichick. So
he's been put on the spot and then he tried
to push back on that and say no. The question, though,
is in the multiverse, the Mallard multiverse, there isn't dimension
where Belichick stays at North Carolina. But the more fun
(12:26):
tomension is this does not end that way and Belichick
exit stage left. So what happens next? Here's the question,
what happens next to Bill Belichick? Assuming that the end
is near and he is preparing to leave North Carolina.
So Belichick's dream has to be at this point to
somehow get a gig in the NFL again, Like you know,
(12:51):
he's trying to pull the old Bill Belichick trick, that
Bengali move, which you don't think he's got any kind
of Bengalia techt you know, a billity at all. But
when you whisper to some NFL owner, Belichick knows all
these owners, and it's like, hey, it's you know, it's
not me, it's them. You give me a good roster,
(13:13):
I will win you a Lombardy and I'm gonna set
the record beat Don Shula, and I'll do it in
your hoodie. And see Belichick me that I'm not built
for college. And you can't. Of course, you can't grunt
your way through booster dinners and recruiting pitches and all that.
Generally that doesn't work. And the parents might be impressed,
(13:35):
but the kids probably not so much. And Bill, at
this point, the way he operates, at least publicly, the
way he operates is it's like using the fax machine
right now. Well, you don't need a fax machine? Well
why not? I love the fax machine. I grew up
on the fax machine. But you don't need to whole
technology you have that you can use an iPad. I
don't need an iPad. I want the fax machine, but
the fax machine doesn't really it's not need it anymore.
(13:57):
What about a typewriter. I don't need a typewriter. You
don't need stupid things. And so that's where we are.
And you just know that he's dialing up Steven Ross
putting on in his dream. Belichick's putting on a scuba mask,
and he wants to swim with the dolphins. He wants
to swim and break down Shula's record. There go back
(14:17):
to New England every year and stick it to Robert Kraft.
But either way, he's gotta find an off ramp because
he's got one foot out the door because everyone's attacking him.
The girlfriend's probably already packing for Switzerland, the floozie, right.
The whole thing has turned into a football geopolitical meltdown.
I remember when I was in school, I read about
(14:38):
Mussolini in Italy in the nineteen forties and how he
had to get out of dodge and he didn't make
it out of there. But he's trying to go to Switzerland.
I think they caught him and killed him. Whatever. But
Belichick's tar Hill tenure is ending like a dictator trying
to get out of dodge. I oused it by his
own people, trying to escape with his lady friend, and
(15:00):
while the mob is gathering with pitchforks and all that
stuff and torches, and now if not the Dolphins, and
the reports that he needs a safe landing spot. So
I guess what does that mean? Media jobs for Belichick
like David Portnoy or Peyton Manning can give him a lifeboat,
like Belichick can be a barstool bro go over there
(15:22):
and do some cheeseball podcast or play grab ass with
the mannings like he was doing on Monday Night Football
and get back together with Lombardi, Mike Lombardi and all that. Yeah,
all right is the Ben Mallord Show. As we are
navigating the overnight skies here on the Red Eye flight.
We have been here all night long and kind of
(15:44):
pretty decent sporting day on tap the baseball games. If
you're a Yankee hater, little shot in freud for you.
If you're a Yankee hater, as you can say, turn
out the loud stu parties over another another mistake, another
f up by the Yankees in the playoffs. They lose
(16:06):
to Toronto, so the blue Jays have advanced. And now,
speaking of that, do we have the audio from the
end of the blue Jay game? Because I've been taking
a lot of crap for something I said a couple
of years ago, and of course I was right and
I've been vindicated. Do we have the audio the end
of the blue Jay game? Here the Toronto call. All right,
let's get to the audio. This is the end. The
blue Jays have won. They've gone on to the American
(16:29):
League Championship Series. And listen to how it sounded on
Toronto radio swinging them in strike three, screaming fucks from Hoffman.
The Blue Jays hard back in.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
The ALCS for the first time since twenty sixteen.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
They down the Yankees in their own yard, and they're.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
The first team in baseball's Final four.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Yeah, all right, So here's the thing, all right, and
this is hot take validation. So a few years ago,
the Clippers made the Final four, and I said, hey,
they're in the Final four and very evil people. I
think Roberto was one Eddie and Coop. We're busting my balls.
There is no such thing as the final four. This
(17:13):
is a professional broadcaster for a Major League baseball team
who just announced the Toronto Blue Jays made the Final four.
Because that's the final four. Just like in basketball, if
you make the conference finals, you're in the final four.
It's the final four. It's the final four. That's it.
It's the final four. I just want to go on
the record, final four, final four. Anyway, So the Yankees
(17:35):
are out, blue Jays are in. The Mariners. Have we
done a wellness check on Robbie the Mariner fantasy? Okay?
The Mariners blew their opportunity. Now they have to face
Trek Schouoble in game five because they f that up
the Tigers. That game will be tomorrow. Tigers a big
favorite on the road against George Kirby. The Dodgers screwed
(17:56):
around after a round and found out Blue Jays Kyle
schwarbade a couple of bombs, so the Dodgers have to
play another game with the Phillies. The Phillies stand alive,
and the Cubs beat the Brewers. So that means today
we have two games. The early game which is Phillies
Dodgers six o'clock Eastern time, Christopher Sanchez versus Tyler Glass
(18:17):
now and the Dodgers favored in that game, and it's
undecided versus undecided for the Brewers and the Cubs. If
you look at the total of that, Brewer is a
slight favorite even though it's undecided, it's gonna be a
lot of bullpenned situation. We have a game in football tonight,
the game if you want to Benny versus the Pennies
available on YouTube, by the way at Benny Vspenny Handicap.
(18:38):
That game Eagles seven and a half point favorites, up
to eight now at some of the books, up to
eight Eagles favored over the Giants, Jackson Dart his first
prime time game, and a lot of the money, a
lot of the you know, the public and the sharps
are on the on the side of the Eagles there,
(18:58):
so good luck on that's a big num. It's a
divisional game. It's a pretty big number in that one.
It is the Ben Mahler Show. If you would like

that happened six years ago, he says, is showing your
feminine side. It's okay, let it go. Uh let me
check with my feminine expert, Lorena. Lorena me bringing up
a point where I was correct and people gave me
a hard time for. Is that my feminine side?
Speaker 5 (21:26):
No, Ben, I do not believe.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
So, Okay, Blake, I just talked to a feminine expert.
You're wrong. You're loser, Blake in Arkansas, I have a
female expert. She's got female stuff. The female expert.
Speaker 6 (21:40):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Jtlors writes, saying that, wow, are you don't question a woman?
What's wrong with you? Uh? Lorena, you have no reason
right here?
Speaker 5 (21:50):
I think it is way more of a man thing
to know.
Speaker 7 (21:53):
The problem is the problem is after the fact, Ben
was celebrating the Clippers making the Final four after they
got eliminated as accomplishment, as if that is something.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
No, it was very impressive. That was more. That was
more impressive than that little Mickey mouse ring the Lakers one. Okay,
you don't want to go down, Okay, exactly. You know
I'm right. You know I'm right. Have you bought your
Hennessy yet? Coop? Have you to support Lebron? Have you
bought your Hennessy yet? Come on? JT the Wingman rights

Yeah, Baseball's final Yeah. See.
Speaker 7 (24:30):
The difference is they haven't been eliminated yet, so they're
saying they're the first team in the final four, like
hoping for a World Series. If they get eliminated in
the ALCS, they're not gonna be sitting there being gonna go,
well we made it to the final four.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
No, no, no. In fact, after the game, Andrew, you
didn't see this because you're blind, they cut down the
nets in the locker room. They cut down the nets

Speaker 1 (25:21):
I'm sure you'll check the podcast. I'm sure you'll hurry
up and listen to the podcast. Yeah, good effort for
the Dodgers. I'm very proud of that team. They suck.
Speaker 8 (25:29):

Robert Parish, Oh, the Chief Robert in the nineteen eighty seven,
eighty eighty five, eighties whatever it was Celtics there, Robert.
Speaker 8 (28:38):
Do you know what he?
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Actually?
Speaker 6 (28:40):
Parties are chirping up?
Speaker 8 (28:41):
He didn't like Glarry Bird at all?
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Did he tell you that? Did he tell you that
he hated Larry Bird? No, he didn't, but I know
that's from the history. I'm just making it up. Then
if he did, that's a story. If you if you
ran do you understand you ran into Robert Parrish and
he told you I can't stand Larry Birdie was that
would be a story. I didn't say that.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
He was very nice.
Speaker 8 (29:05):
He's very civil in my local grocery store.
Speaker 6 (29:07):
I mean, everyone looks up to.
Speaker 4 (29:09):
His massive He's in his seventies though, but anyway.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Yeah, yeah, I would assume because he played until he
was like fifty. So all right, thank you, I gotta go.
Thank you. All Right, there's Mike the Leprechaun. Let's say
hello to Paul, who's in Boston, but he is a
Yankee fan, and hello, Paul, welcome.
Speaker 4 (29:27):
I am not a Yankee fan.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
I thought you were. I thought you were. That's a
bad job by me, Paul. I assume you were calling
to talk about the Yankees because you like the Yankees,
but you're not.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
Yes, yeah, I appreciate you taking my call. Love the show, buddy.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (29:42):
First, the final four. Stop talking about the final four?
What is this a participation trophy? If you don't win
the World Series, no one's even gonna remember you were there?
Who cares? First off? Second Off, the Yankees love to
watch them lose, love to watch them move. How do
you blow every year with an absolutely stacked team. It's sickening.
(30:07):
I love to see it. But you got to get
rid of boom Man.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
What are you doing?
Speaker 1 (30:11):
He's not doing anything, Paul, All these guys, Alex Core
doesn't do anything with the Red Sox, Dave Roberts doesn't
do crap with a Dodger. They're all middle managers. The
fact that the fact that Aaron Boo's gonna keep his
job is proof he does nothing. Because if you had
any sense of, like, we gotta get over the hump,
Aaron Boo's not leading us. No, Aaron Boo's just repeating
whatever he's told to do. That's it. How about the
fact that Aaron Judge is heading down a road of
(30:34):
Don Mattingly and Dave Winfield at this point that he's
he's on that he's been on the Yankees for like
ten years. They haven't won a World Series. You know
how hard that is to play for the Yankees for
ten years and not win a World Series. It's crazy, thickening, and.
Speaker 4 (30:46):
As much as it hurts my soul to say it.
The Yankees should have won like four or five World
Series in the past ten years with the talent they
have had on that team. So I love to see it.
It makes me happy without fine, all.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
Right, at least at least at least three. I know
I got you. You got your own problems, but at least three, like,
at least three I would say the last Yeah, all right,
there you go. We agree. All right, are you gonna celebrate?
You're gonna have some cake today or something to celebrate
thea it's Yankee lose day, So the Yankees elimination day.
That's a big day for you as a Red Sox fan.
Speaker 4 (31:17):
So oh yeah, crap to every New York person I.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
Meet, enjoy the day. That's a great day. Shadenfreude taking
joy out of other people's misery. All right, thank you, Paul,
Yeah yeah. Shot shot in freuda is one of the
great underrated things in sports. It really is just wonderful.
You just take joy out of other people's misery. It's
just wonderful, Uh, in sports, it's great. So an NFL

Coop Daniel Jones. You know his nicknames? You know what
(31:41):

Slam and Danny. All right, great movie back in nineteen
eighty five. I think it will I don't know, Coop,
do you have a guess? One? One more guess? The
real answers reveal answers. I have no idea. I can't
think of any movie all right, turns down, all right,
turns out you guys not movie fans, shockingly enough, and
(32:59):
you listening, you probably got it right. Daniel Jones new
nickname is Indiana Jones ex's new nickname.
Speaker 5 (33:08):
I would have never gotten that's clever.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
Yes, I don't know how clever that is. But did
you watch Indiana Jones? Have you been on the Indiana
Jones ride at Disney Lorena? Have you been?
Speaker 9 (33:17):
I do love that ride. It's one of my favorite rides,
not one of my favorite movie series, though. I always
fall asleep when I start watching it.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
Greatest line in Indiana Jones when he falls of that
hidden chamber and remember it was like the well of the.
Speaker 5 (33:32):
Sphere, the ball comes at him.
Speaker 1 (33:34):

was an iconic line of snakes. Why did it have
to be snakes? And it's a wonderful that's in the ride.

morning Dan.
Speaker 6 (35:49):
You know, cats are very intuitive about people with that character,

of the Gabba Ghoul Tilio in Florida. Hello Tillio, Welcome,
Good morning Ben. How you doing. If I was any better,

Speaker 8 (36:41):
Maryland, Hey, morning time.
Speaker 6 (36:44):
Hey look at it.
Speaker 4 (36:45):
Hell, Michael Irvin don't wear that green T shirt.
Speaker 8 (36:47):
He looks just like that jolly green giant on that.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
I don't think Mike's Mike's so old now he doesn't
care about it. He used to care about you, even
sure fur coats and all that. Didn't care anymore. He's
letting yourself go. All right, keg drinking Steve is in
Cans City.
Speaker 8 (37:09):
Oh man, who's the bigger loser? Bill BELLI check? Or
that idiot mad Bunny who didn't stand for the n
angel anthem at Yankee Stadium.
Speaker 6 (37:18):
They need to get him off the Super Bowl?
Speaker 1 (37:22):
All right? He bad bunny? You want good bunny? And
coach Russell is in Orlando. He's our favorite high school
football coach. Coach Russell, welcome.
Speaker 6 (37:31):
On a big game tomorrow night.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
We played for the district championship and hopefully at number
two seed as we move towards the playoff.
Speaker 1 (37:40):
All right, we're pulling for you. Good good luck to
your guys. Hopefully you win. Make us proud their coach.
Tomorrow night, Big Night tickets are not available. All right,
here we go three stories quick right now. Story number one,
the bad Decision Now. Earlier this week, Lebron James b
goofed on his biggest fans. He said he was making
(38:00):
another decision. The second decision turned out to be an
advertisement for Booze. So a lifelong Waker fan has now
admitted he's an idiot by suing Lebron James. The fan
filed a lawsuit in Small Claims Court in LA on Wednesday,
claiming Lebron James owes him eight hundred and fifty six
dollars and sixty six cents. This Jabbroni says Lebron because
(38:21):
of what he did on social media. This guy raced
a ticket master to buy seats to what would have
been Lebron's last ever game with Cleveland. Well, it turns
out it's not, at least not supposed to be, and
so the guy wants his money Backstory number two, Bunny Ball.
It was no coincidence Bad Bunny showed up to the
Yankee game earlier this week. Not only is Bad Bunny
(38:42):
doing the Super Bowl halftime show, but he's got a
partnership with New Era a line of Bad Bunny edition
caps just what the world needs. Seventy dollars were actually
sixty nine to ninety nine each. You can rep your
favorite baseball team and your love for Bad Bunny. I
know one of our listeners in Kansas City's running to
buy those right now. And story number three, it's the
most Philly promotion ever. Niney nine to nine challenge been
(39:06):
known for years in baseball, but this postseason, the Phillies
made an official part of the ballpark at Citizens Bank Park.
This postseason, you're able to buy a box of nine
fun size hot dogs, nine Petit beers, along with a
scorecard so you can keep track of your progress over
nine innings. That will cost you fifty six dollars. And
those are the three stories. One of them is not
(39:27):
completely true. You have to separate fiction from fact. Let's
go back to our celebrity panel of judges and we
say hello to the lovely and talented Tammy in Montana.
Welcome back, Tammy one two or three, Tammy.
Speaker 6 (39:41):
Thanks Ben I love you and teams two on number.
Speaker 1 (39:44):
Three number three, All right, hold on, Tammy, James. Tammy
just said she loves.
Speaker 8 (39:50):
You Tammy number three.
Speaker 1 (39:54):
Yeah, you just copied Tim Tilly, Oh, the King of
the Gabba Ghoul, the pride of Jersey.
Speaker 8 (40:01):
Coach number two.
Speaker 1 (40:04):
All right, thank you, Tillio and Rick in Maryland morning time.
Speaker 4 (40:10):
I'm gonna go with one.
Speaker 1 (40:12):
Number one, all right, thank you, Rick, have a wonderful
day and keg drinking Steve and cans uh city.
Speaker 2 (40:19):
I don't want that in grat getting any more money
that that.
Speaker 1 (40:22):
But number two, okay, Coach Russell won two or three?
Coach got that big game tomorrow night.
Speaker 4 (40:29):
Number three, number three.
Speaker 1 (40:32):
All right, coach, well, thank you. Hopefully you do better
with your game because you were wrong. The correct answer
is number two. The bad bunny short tag drinking Steve
number two. Number two, bad bunny, Bad Bunny, Bad Bunny.
