Speaker 1 (00:00):
Knock, knock, who's there.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
It's our number four, that's right, it's our number four
of the podcast here on this Monday, the last Monday
in the month of February twenty twenty five. And it's
all about what well, it's all about baseball this hour,
and we'll also play a game, the debut of Are
You Smarter than the FSR Tech Queen? But we begin
(00:23):
with Vladimir Guerrero Junior saying he will not officially rule
out the Yankees in free agency, saying his father's dispute
is in the past. How do you translate that the
Astros have renewed their interest in third basement Nolan Aronato
should he wave his no trade clause, will discuss for
a deal to leave the Cardinals, and should the Red
(00:46):
Sox be opened the dealing third baseman Rafael Devers to
the Seattle baseball team. We'll talk about that as well.
All of it coming your way right now here. It
is our number for playing the game. Welcome in the
(01:07):
beginning of another.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Hour of the Benmahler Show.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
We are in the air, eyware, enjoying those happy nights
and happy days. Is We're the stuff that is made
up of the nocturnal lifestyle, coast to coast, border the
motor and beyond on the mast and spicily powerful microphones
(01:33):
of fsre amminating live from the ingredients. We have better ingredients,
better sports takes. Unless we don't. We're broadcasting live from
the tyraq dot com studios tyraq dot com. We'll help
you get there and unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free
(01:53):
road hazard protection and over ten thousand IRAC commented in
stars tyrac dot com The Way Tire Buying SHOWB. I
know Johnny Q a big support of the number ten thousand.
So our lead this hour is from Baseball. We'd like
(02:14):
to alert all the affiliates down line. Coming up in
about half an hour, so maybe a little less than that,
we will have a brand new game. We're gonna beta
test a brand new game. You will be a witness
to what will either be wonderful or likely a tremendous disaster,
(02:35):
but it will happen on the live airwaves.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Coming up a little bit later this hour.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
More on that, but our lead from all CODAA. We
go to Toronto, well, actually we go to dun Eden,
Florida spring training home of the Blue Jay's Word Vladimir
Guerrero has cranked up the volume a couple of notches.
The Blue Jay first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Junior reaffirming over
(03:00):
the weekend that he is in the Yankee business now.
That doesn't mean it's only the Yankees. Guerrero said every
team in baseball, every team will have a chance to
add him in free agencies he bows out of Toronto,
although he didn't say he's completely bowing out of Toronto.
He's stopped negotiations, which is usually a dead give away,
(03:23):
dead giveaway that he's not planning on staying with the
team he's currently with. Now, Guerrero had moved off, moved
off comments that he made years ago indicating that he
would never ever wear that pinstripe Yankee uniform because his
dad was screwed over by the Yankees in free agency
(03:46):
and the Yankees were supposed to sign his old man
and they chose to sign Gary Sheffield instead, and Guerrero
Junior had held a grudge against the Yankees. Back in
twenty twenty two, for reference, he famously said, I would
never sign with the Yankees, not even when I'm dead. Now,
if you're able to sign while you're dead, you might
(04:07):
be in Chicago, and you might be voting. Now he says,
I'm okay with everything. It's in the past.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Close quote.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
So let us discuss the question Vladimir Guerrero Junior not
ruling out the Yankees in free agency with the trade
deadline middle of the summer, saying his father's dispute is
in the past. So how do you translate this one?
So I've got jay z Winnie, the Pooh, and the button,
(04:36):
things that have never been put in the same conversation,
jay z Winnie, the Pooh, and the button. And we'll
combine all of these things together, and we are going
to make.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
An open bar. A nice open bar, is what we're
gonna make.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
So to lead off here, though, my first thought is
it's kind of obviously if you want, I'll use the
malar Rosetta stone if you would like. But Vladie's mantra
is keep your eye on the prize. Now, the prize
is the bag. He's all what's in the bag? He
wants a bag of money. He wants a bag of money,
and no ink packs in the bag of money. It
(05:16):
is going to be a train heighst to go anywhere
of course he knows that Sacramento will not be bidding
for him, Tampa Bay will not be bidding for him.
But outside of that right and so the Yankees, as
we have mentioned in previous episodes of the show, are essential,
and so you need if you're going to manipulate the
market to get the bag with pinstripes on it, it's
(05:39):
essential that the Yankees are one of the teams that
is bidding. You have to reach out to potential buyers
and all that, and you only have so many teams
that are prequalified. If you will for five hundred million
smack a.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Rows, which is what he would like to get.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Now to rephrase that, if you're Guerrero, you can say
I have a grudge again the Pittsburg Pirates and the
Cincinnati Reds and the Athletics and the Rays and teams
like that, those nickel and dime operations, they don't bid
on players like Vladimir Guerrero Junior when they get the
free agency. But there is a grand conspiracy, and what
a conspiracy it is making the rounds here that the
(06:19):
real motivation for the Yanks. We talked about this earlier
in the overnight, dropping their facial hair band is, at
least in terms of beards, is because Vladimir Guerrero prefers
to wear a beard, and so the assumption is that
that is an all of branch. It happens just days
after Guerrero announces that he's gonna not gonna sign with
(06:40):
Toronto and he's going to test the free agent market
and all that. And while it sure doesn't help or
doesn't hurt us shirts, it doesn't hurt the Yankees to
do that. Ultimately, when it break it, you break it
all down. Like Vladimir Guerrero.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
It's like that old.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Jay Z song. It's dead Presidents. That's what's really about here.
And Guerrero is one of these guys. We've talked about
this all the time, these big money free agents. And
he'll go anywhere, and whether that's Los Angeles or New
York or Boston or Kabul or Pyongyang or Baghdad, anywhere anywhere. Right,
show me the money. He'll sign with a team in Dubai,
(07:19):
the Dubai Bombers or whatever they're called. He'll go play there.
Right's business decision. That's the way it is, all right. Now. Furthermore,
to Saint Louis, we go where the Astro. The Astros
have renewed their interest. Reports recently indicating renewed their interest
in third baseman Nolan Aernato former All Star third baseman
(07:40):
Nolan Aernado should he wave his no trade clause to
leave the Cardinals for Houston. So I'm shaking my head. No,
you can't see because I'm on the radio and following
the teachings of Winnie the Pooh, Winning the Pooh, who
(08:02):
said that rivers know this, there is no hurry. We
shall get there someday. And so if you're Nolan Aernado,
you're not in a hurry.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Not now.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Maybe we get closer to the trade deadline, you're in
a hurry. But Aeronado turned down a trade to Houston
a couple of months ago because he deemed them not
worthy of his services, meaning he did not believe that
they are a contender.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
And I have seen no evidence that he was wrong. Right,
I go, where is he wrong?
Speaker 2 (08:32):
They're not a real legit contender, Like maybe they make
the playoffs because the American League West blows and so
someone's going to make the playoffs by winning the American
League West. But you look around and you look at
that Houston rotation. It's like Franbur Valdez. He's been hit
and miss here, Hunter Brown, Renel Blanco doesn't scream domination situation.
(08:55):
The line up, there's some question marks there and the
everyday roster is lacking the wow factor.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Your Dan Alvarez is a fine player.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
I don't know if he's doing it legitimately or not.
But the Astros are gonna have to in terms of
like the playoff team this year, they're going to have
to play three dimensional chess. Now, the three dimensional chess
the Astros play are trash cans, buzzers, and sandpaper for
the pitching staff.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
And if they have.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Those three things in Houston lingo, that's what the three
the three dimensional chess is. It's trash cans, it's buzzers,
and it's sandpaper, and it's just.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
A hunk of metal.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
So but I don't hold your Aeronauto is nearing his
thirty fourth birthday, which is not old in the big picture,
but in sports you're getting old. And he's got one
more shot the way I look at it on this
side of the bowie pulpit, one more shot Aeronauto's got
and you wait a little bit you go out you
bet on yourself. He's got guaranteed money anyway. But you
(09:57):
go out there, you play well for the first couple
months for the Cardinals, and the Cardinals sucked. But aaron
O has been going the wrong direction, Like the exit
velocity hasn't been good, all the nerd stats, it's going
the wrong direction. In the last couple of years, it's
not going the right direction. He had the worst hard
hit percentage of his career. If you're into that kind
of thing. But if you go out there in April
and May and June and play pretty well and look
(10:20):
like you can still play defense at a high level
in July, you'll end.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Up on one of your preferred teams.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
And there's a handful of legit contenders and you can
end up on one of them all right. Now. Lastly,
we go down to Boston watching the Red Sox spring
training camp in Florida. Interesting chatter recently, and if you
saw this or not that the Red Sox trying to
get some more starting pitching before opening day and the
(10:47):
name that has been tied to them for some time,
Luis Castillo, and some noise that they could get Castillo
and some hot shot prospect, which is a suspect until
proven otherwise catching prospect in exchange for Rafael Devers, who's
got that ten year contract and has been causing some
(11:08):
issues about not wanting to leave the hot corner there.
So let's discuss should the Red Sox be open Should
the Red Sox be open to dealing Rafael Devers if
it means getting a front line starting pitcher from the
Seattle baseball team. And on this one, I'm nodding my
head yes on this on I'm not in my eas
(11:30):
now Devers. The more and more we watch Devers play,
it's not like he's a bad player. He's fine, and
the numbers are always inflated playing at Finway Park because
it's a pinball machine. But Devers was an impulse purchase.
They had him, but they had to sign somebody. They
gave away Mookie Bets for some pocket lint and half
(11:53):
a container of doctor pepper. That's what they got from
the Dodgers for Mookie Bets. And now Mookie's won two
championship with the Dodgers and will win probably two or
three more by the time he's done with that contract.
So they gave him away. They didn't want to sign
Xander Bogarts, who went off to the Padres. So they
had this young court the only one they decided to keep,
and it was really because they had to keep somebody
(12:14):
was raffie Al Devers, and so that's the guy they kept.
And he's a liability on defense. He's the worst defensive
third baseman in baseball. No one in the history of
baseball has lasted at third base as long as Devas
and been as bad as Devers defensively. So that's out there,
and he's locked up through twenty thirty three. That's how
many more years are left on the contract. So this
(12:36):
is a chance to go. If you're the Red Sox,
you go out and hit the button. You hit the button.
It's the eject button. And my boots on the ground
there in Boston are like, oh man, the Red Sox
farm systems loaded. Oh man, they're loaded. They got like
three or four guys. They are gonna be all stars
in the next couple of years. Of the mind, we'll
see if that's the case. But more importantly, right, more importantly,
(12:57):
you look at that soft underbelly in the American League.
Je Soto is not walking through that door at Yankee
stadiumunless he's wearing a Mets uniform, so he's out. The
Yankees are vulnerable, and they were in the World Series
last year. There is no juggernaut team. Does anyone think
the Cleveland Guardians are a jugger? No good regular season
(13:17):
team and take them that seriously. So if you look
at it the juggernaut, the dominance is on the National
League side of the bracket, the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
If the Atlanta Braves are.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Able to find the health Gem, which is unlikely, but
if that's the case, they have some buds. The Braves
are loaded. The Phillies have a great lineup. The Mets
have a solid team. That's all in the National League.
You look at the American League. If you're a team
like the Red Sox, you're like, all right, we got
something here. I mean, you look around. I was like,
(13:49):
all right, Baltimore is not as good as they were
last year. You're looking like Detroit was a playoff team.
But you really get scared about the Tigers and since
twenty twenty. Since twenty twenty, the Red Sox have had
one winning season and three last place finishes in the
American leagueest So, needless to say, I mean, they've been
(14:11):
pathetic considering the market and the money they have to
play with there, So bring in Luis Castile and at
least in theory, you put Castillo out there and you've
got him at the top of the rotation with Walker
Bueller and he's over from the Dodgers. He'll probably get hurt,
but Garrett Crochet from the White Sox. So there's a
lot of players that are injury prone at the front
(14:33):
of that Red Sox rotation. But assuming those guys are
able to piece it together, you're cooking with gas until
they get hurt.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
You're absolutely cooking with gas until they get hurt.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
And for the Mariners it makes sense because they have
a limp offense and Guerrera. If you look around, they're
not going to go out and sign a guy like
Vladimir Guerrero Junior in the offse He's very unlikely to
sign him. So here's the guy that's already locked up
in a contract, Rafael Devers. If you're Seattle, he can't
really go anywhere, and his enemy is good Devers if
he went to Seattle as he has, playing half his
(15:03):
games at Finway, but still at least competent offensive player. Anyway,
it is the Ben Malard Show. If you'd like to
comment on any of that, you can join us. But
we are moments away from a brand spanking new game.
So I need I think we have our contestant online one.
I think our contestant is online one, and then I
(15:25):
need a lifeline guy, somebody to be the lifeline guy. Now,
we can play with two contestants or one. I think
we'll probably just play with one contestant to start here.
It's a beta testing. We're going to play a new game.
The game is called and we'll still do the Malller
Militia feud at the end of the hour. But the
game we're gonna play straight ahead is are you smarter
than the FSR Tech Queen? Are you smarter than the
(15:47):
FSR Tech Queen? Our friend Lorena. We'll play that game. Also,
we'll mix into the conversation a forty plus year tradition
in sports is kind of coming to an end, kind
of coming to again. In we'll get to that and
we will do it next.

Oh, yes it is. I'm ready to go, all right.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Very exciting.
Speaker 6 (17:53):
Now.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
I want to thank Cincinnati Tommy, who inspired this game.
If you listen to my podcast on the Weekends with Danny,
we actually talked about this a while back, and then
because of the TV stuff and my time commitments, I
didn't have time to really sit down and hammer out
the game board and all that. But I did find
some time this weekend, and so here we go. It
(18:14):
is the maiden voyage of are You Smarter than the
FSR TECHWEK and we're doing this in love. Very smart, Lorenna,
you play place an idiot on the radio, but you're
very smart.
Speaker 4 (18:24):
Oh yeah, you know.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Oh yeah, you're just doing You're just doing exactly studying.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
I've been working my big brain muscle.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Yeah. And Marcel, you've been studying, right, You're very smart man, Marcel.
Speaker 5 (18:36):
Yes, I was studying hard, all right.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
So we all right, So Marcel, before I get going here,
we do have a lifeline line two. The lifeline is
line too want to be the lifeline? Line two?
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Doesn't want to be a lifeline?
Speaker 7 (18:51):
All right?
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Hold on a second.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
He wanted to play, but let me see if he
wants to be the lifeline.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
John.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Would you like to be the lifeline?
Speaker 3 (18:57):
John?
Speaker 2 (18:57):
You want to be my lifeline for Marcel? Absolutely? All right?
You're in Chico? Correct in California?
Speaker 5 (19:05):
Yes, all Chico, Sean, that's fun, welcome along.

Well he's not his name is not Chico.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
He's all right, he's in there's a city, all right,
all right, hold on, all right, So Marcel, the way
this is gonna work, I'm gonna ask each of you
a question. You'll have to reveal answers and whatnot. No
cheating or anything like that. Questions guys, as I said
for ten, twenty fifty, seventy five and one hundred thousand,
and you've got to get five questions right to win
(19:35):
the game. Now you have two lifelines, Marcel, you can copy.
If you don't know the answer, you can say I
want to copy Loraina's answer. And if you both get
it wrong, you stay alive. If she gets it right,
you don't get it right the game, that should technically
end the game. So the game might be over after
one question. And you have a phone a friend, which
is John in Chico. So Marcel, you have two lifelines
(19:57):
to get five questions right.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
We're playing.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Are you smarter than the FSR tech queen? Do you
understand the rules?
Speaker 1 (20:04):
All right?
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Well said the categories this week? Are you excited for
the categories? Lorena?
Speaker 4 (20:09):
You were asking, I'm very very excited.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Loreno was trying to get she is She coorded me
in the hall. She was trying to ask tell me
anything I know. I wouldn't tell her anything. All right,
So the categories this week, and these will rotate. But
this week the categories are sporty, multiple choice, sporty basic,
pop culture, geography and history. Marcel, you're challenging Lorena, so
please pick the category pop culture. Okay, you want to
(20:35):
go pop culture? Very good?
Speaker 1 (20:36):
What a what a great way to start, Marcel?
Speaker 4 (20:39):
Can you double check it's sporty?
Speaker 1 (20:41):
What's that you said?
Speaker 2 (20:42):
It was sporty, sporty multiple choice, sporty, basic, pop culture,
geography and history. But we're gonna start with pop culture,
all right, everyone ready, here we go. Question number one
pop culture. Janet Jackson got in trouble for doing this
is during the super Bowl. I know, all right, Marcel
(21:05):
and Brooklyn, please Marcel.
Speaker 8 (21:08):
Janet Jackson from the super Bowl. Yes, oh, I believe
it was Michael Jackson performing some of his songs in
the Super Bowl back.
Speaker 5 (21:16):
In nineteen ninety four.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Okay, oh all right, interesting.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
So again the question was Janet Jackson got in trouble
for doing this during the super Bowl? Larna, you agree
with Marcel. You want to give a different answer.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
I disagree, Ben, I would like to give a different answer.
All right, go ahead.
Speaker 4 (21:33):
She was in trouble for exposing her lady bits, Yes,
the air with Justin.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
All right, that is correct. Oh, look at that unbelievable, Mars.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
But you got it wrong, Marcel. Yes, she showed her
movies on television.
Speaker 5 (21:46):
Oh my gosh, that's.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Some people thought already.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Some people disagree with that. Well one question. The game's
already over, but we'll keep going. Why not, we'll keep going.
We will move on to the other category.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Marcel.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
We thought it was only over if they both lose.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Oh okay, well fine, we'll keep going until they both lose.
We have more time to kill. We have a sporty
multiple choice. Sporty basic geography and history. Marcel, please pick
your poison.
Speaker 5 (22:16):
All right, let's go with.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
No notice. He's not picking this, she's not picking the
sports questions. All right, here we go. Well this is basic.
How many continents are there? How many continents are there?
Everyone should know this?
Speaker 5 (22:33):
Six or seven?
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Well, Marcel, I need there's only one answer, Marcell. You
can't have more than one answer.
Speaker 7 (22:40):
Would you?
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Would you like to use a lifeline on this? You
want to use a dial a friend on this to
stay alive?
Speaker 6 (22:47):
All right?
Speaker 5 (22:48):
Dollar friend John in Chico?
Speaker 2 (22:50):
All right, well dial a friend, John. Marcel is dialing
you up. He needs your help. John on how many
continents there are?
Speaker 6 (22:58):
All right, John?
Speaker 5 (23:00):
How many contents that you that we are right now?
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Yes? Well said John.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
I think your lifeline is not paying attention here. Marcel.
I think he's oh man.
Speaker 8 (23:16):
Someone who put John and Chinko on the line. Please,
we need your help right now, John, before.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Yeah, he said all he's said, there he is, there's John.
He says seven. It sounds like he might have cheated.
Uh so, Marcel, hold on which answer do you.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Want to go with Marcel? Six or seven? Seven?
Speaker 2 (23:36):
All right?
Speaker 1 (23:37):
And Lorraina, please.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
Yeah, I drew out all the continents, Ben, you did?
Speaker 2 (23:41):
I did?
Speaker 1 (23:42):
I don't believe I really did.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
What do you think? What do you think? I only
drew six so you believe six is the answer. Okay,
let's see reveal answers. Well there are seven continents? Oh
my god. All right, well we're still alive here. Marcel
got that one right, thanks to his phone or friend
there in John in Chico. And we will will move on.
(24:08):
You're listening to our live coverage?
Speaker 4 (24:09):
Is Asia the smallest content?
Speaker 5 (24:13):
It's got to be seven continent?
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Come on, everyone knows that.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
Cook Please all right, we have three categories left we're playing.

Speaker 2 (24:31):
I know?
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Well, there you go.
Speaker 6 (24:33):
Keep the line for the lifeline, keep me a lot.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Okay, all right, here we go tiebreaker, right, yeah, that
is all right, let's go. Here we go sporty basic
multiple choice? Okay, multiple choice, And here here's the question.
What does NBA stand for a National Basketball Alliance, b
National Basketball Association or C nation in basketball alignment.
Speaker 8 (25:02):
Marcell NBA stands for the National Basketball Association.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
All right, so you're going with b Lorraina, which one
do you think?
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Yes?
Speaker 9 (25:11):
It is?
Speaker 4 (25:11):
Ben?
Speaker 1 (25:12):
All right, look at that.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
You both got it right.
Speaker 4 (25:14):
You're so smart you should have give them multiple choice.
Speaker 6 (25:17):
On that half.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Marcy Lord, Well, okay, all right, we've done that.
Speaker 4 (25:22):
We have two pointer. It wasn't a hard one.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
It We have two questions that we have, sporty basic
and history. Marcel, which cager do you want? Are you smarting?
Sporty basic? Are you smarter than the FSR tech queen?
And here we go sporty basing. No multiple choice on
this sporty base. This one should be easy for both
of you. How long is a marathon like the New
(25:46):
York Marathon the Boston Marathon? How long is your standard marathon?
Marcel one, I don't think.
Speaker 5 (25:54):
So, believe it or not. Instead of the New York Marathon,
I go with Boston, home of the method.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
That was not the question. Marca.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
You're not trying to I know you're trying to suck
up to the people see in Boston, but Marcel, please,
I need an answer.
Speaker 5 (26:08):
All right, the New York how old marathon?
Speaker 1 (26:12):
How long it's going to be?
Speaker 6 (26:14):
Just seven or even eight hundred miles long?
Speaker 2 (26:18):
Okay, seven or eight hundred miles long? Okay, wow, that
is quite the marathon. Lorena, you want to answer that.
How long is a marathon? I am not a marathon specialist,
ben or not, but okay, five K is coming to
my mind.
Speaker 5 (26:36):
Oh oh five five K?
Speaker 2 (26:38):
All right, well the real answers. Well, you're both wrong.
A marathon is not seven or eight hundred miles. It's
twenty six point two miles, twenty six point two miles.
Speaker 4 (26:51):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 6 (26:53):
How do I know that two miles?
Speaker 1 (26:57):
I mean, I knew that. I'd never run a marathon.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
Really, it is because then the guy run from marathon
to marathon, right to tell him something, and it was
twenty six point two miles back in Roman times or
something like that.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
Oh, I've never heard that.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Yeah, that's why.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
That's why it's twenty six point two miles, because it's
some historical story when a guy ran like twenty to tell.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
About an incoming invasion. All right, well, this is going
very well.
Speaker 6 (27:21):
I can't believe the twenty six point two miles of
the marathon is gonna be Wow, hoes.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
We we're tied. We're tired, Marcia.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Okay, it comes down last one. It's a history question, Marcel.
Are you prepared history?
Speaker 6 (27:35):
And we'll get this correct. The lifeline would be a
lie for me if not, no.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
Copy, you already used your lifeline. You've already used your
life and you can't use it again. Marca, you only
get one lifeline. All right, here we go. This is
so simple. I mean, if you guys don't get this,
I'm gonna smack both of you. Okay, all right, yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Here we go.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Who is famous for saying I have a dream. I
have a dream?
Speaker 5 (28:01):
Martin Luther King.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Marcel says Martin Luther King Jr. Do you agree with that,
Lorena or do you have a different answer? Maybe Marcel's right,
maybe he's not. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (28:12):
I think it's the original Martin Luther King.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Sor I hope to get this right. Oh my god, No,
it is Martin Luther King Junior. And that means Marcealad
smarter than the FSR tech Wing. Congratulations Marsalad Brooklyn, you're
the first ever winner of are you smarter than the
FSR Techleague ticket.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
Unfortunately he does.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Yes, you gotta go on the Techet Cats. Congratulations Marcel.
On a technicality, it's a Martin Luther King junior.
Speaker 6 (28:47):
And that seniors all this year in the Benny Awards
will go to be back to me as always, add Lorena.
It's been all wonderful, amazing, amazing playing with.
Speaker 4 (28:59):
You wonderful as well, very very well.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Okay, all right, listen to the podcast. Thank you Marcell
your ball guarding at the time. There's Marcel, the big
winner of the first ever match up. We have so
many geniuses on this. I can't wait for Blair and
Maine to play and hollering James and.
Speaker 4 (29:17):
Then they get so good at this game.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
Oh man.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Okay, and we'll have endless questions.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
So there it is.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
What do you think?
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Give me your feedback? Did you guys like the game?
What can we do to improve the game? And let
me know it's a debut. There are you smarter than
the FSR Tech Queen And again thanks to Cincinnati Tommy
who helped us out. Appreciate that. Let's say hello to
uh let's see your Mike. The Leprecaun is in Boston. Hello,
(29:44):
Mike the Leprechaun.
Speaker 7 (29:46):
Good morning. I have many suggestions to tweet that game.
Make it a little foster, but I considerence you in
an email. But anyway, Yes, it was fun. The questions
are too easy.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
That's kind of the point of the game. That's the
that's my god again.
Speaker 7 (30:03):
I have a fun fact about the twenty six point two.
Speaker 10 (30:06):
It was some.
Speaker 7 (30:07):
Sparka Spartan soldier ran back to tell about the incoming invasion.
So in England where they had the first marathon, it
was supposed to be twenty six miles, but it was
a rainy day and the Queen couldn't out, couldn't walk
down the drive right, so they added that extra little
point two of a mile, so they was not writing
frons of Buckingham Palace. So twenty six point two.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
I think you're making it.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
I think you're making that up.
Speaker 7 (30:32):
I'm looking up. Oh my god, I'm a teacher.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
Okay, this is marathon.
Speaker 4 (30:37):
He's a teacher.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
I had plenty.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
I had a lot of teachers.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
I had a lot of teachers. Most of them sucked.
I only had a couple of good teachers.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
Marathon twenty six point two miles based on historical events.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
The modern marathon.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
Was inspired by the legend of the ancient Greek messenger
who raised from Marathon to Athens, a distance of nearly
twenty five miles. Yes, the distance was added in the
nineteen oh eight London Olympics.
Speaker 7 (31:05):
I told you, I told you that in London.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
It's our number four, that's right, it's our number four
of the podcast here on this Monday, the last Monday
in the month of February twenty twenty five. And it's
all about what well, it's all about baseball this hour,
and we'll also play a game, the debut of Are
You Smarter than the FSR Tech Queen? But we begin
(00:23):
with Vladimir Guerrero Junior saying he will not officially rule
out the Yankees in free agency, saying his father's dispute
is in the past. How do you translate that the
Astros have renewed their interest in third basement Nolan Aronato
should he wave his no trade clause, will discuss for
a deal to leave the Cardinals, and should the Red
(00:46):
Sox be opened the dealing third baseman Rafael Devers to
the Seattle baseball team. We'll talk about that as well.
All of it coming your way right now here. It
is our number for playing the game. Welcome in the
(01:07):
beginning of another.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Hour of the Benmahler Show.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
We are in the air, eyware, enjoying those happy nights
and happy days. Is We're the stuff that is made
up of the nocturnal lifestyle, coast to coast, border the
motor and beyond on the mast and spicily powerful microphones
(01:33):
of fsre amminating live from the ingredients. We have better ingredients,
better sports takes. Unless we don't. We're broadcasting live from
the tyraq dot com studios tyraq dot com. We'll help
you get there and unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free
(01:53):
road hazard protection and over ten thousand IRAC commented in
stars tyrac dot com The Way Tire Buying SHOWB. I
know Johnny Q a big support of the number ten thousand.
So our lead this hour is from Baseball. We'd like
(02:14):
to alert all the affiliates down line. Coming up in
about half an hour, so maybe a little less than that,
we will have a brand new game. We're gonna beta
test a brand new game. You will be a witness
to what will either be wonderful or likely a tremendous disaster,
(02:35):
but it will happen on the live airwaves.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Coming up a little bit later this hour.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
More on that, but our lead from all CODAA. We
go to Toronto, well, actually we go to dun Eden,
Florida spring training home of the Blue Jay's Word Vladimir
Guerrero has cranked up the volume a couple of notches.
The Blue Jay first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Junior reaffirming over
(03:00):
the weekend that he is in the Yankee business now.
That doesn't mean it's only the Yankees. Guerrero said every
team in baseball, every team will have a chance to
add him in free agencies he bows out of Toronto,
although he didn't say he's completely bowing out of Toronto.
He's stopped negotiations, which is usually a dead give away,
(03:23):
dead giveaway that he's not planning on staying with the
team he's currently with. Now, Guerrero had moved off, moved
off comments that he made years ago indicating that he
would never ever wear that pinstripe Yankee uniform because his
dad was screwed over by the Yankees in free agency
(03:46):
and the Yankees were supposed to sign his old man
and they chose to sign Gary Sheffield instead, and Guerrero
Junior had held a grudge against the Yankees. Back in
twenty twenty two, for reference, he famously said, I would
never sign with the Yankees, not even when I'm dead. Now,
if you're able to sign while you're dead, you might
(04:07):
be in Chicago, and you might be voting. Now he says,
I'm okay with everything. It's in the past.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Close quote.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
So let us discuss the question Vladimir Guerrero Junior not
ruling out the Yankees in free agency with the trade
deadline middle of the summer, saying his father's dispute is
in the past. So how do you translate this one?
So I've got jay z Winnie, the Pooh, and the button,
(04:36):
things that have never been put in the same conversation,
jay z Winnie, the Pooh, and the button. And we'll
combine all of these things together, and we are going
to make.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
An open bar. A nice open bar, is what we're
gonna make.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
So to lead off here, though, my first thought is
it's kind of obviously if you want, I'll use the
malar Rosetta stone if you would like. But Vladie's mantra
is keep your eye on the prize. Now, the prize
is the bag. He's all what's in the bag? He
wants a bag of money. He wants a bag of money,
and no ink packs in the bag of money. It
(05:16):
is going to be a train heighst to go anywhere
of course he knows that Sacramento will not be bidding
for him, Tampa Bay will not be bidding for him.
But outside of that right and so the Yankees, as
we have mentioned in previous episodes of the show, are essential,
and so you need if you're going to manipulate the
market to get the bag with pinstripes on it, it's
(05:39):
essential that the Yankees are one of the teams that
is bidding. You have to reach out to potential buyers
and all that, and you only have so many teams
that are prequalified. If you will for five hundred million
smack a.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Rows, which is what he would like to get.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Now to rephrase that, if you're Guerrero, you can say
I have a grudge again the Pittsburg Pirates and the
Cincinnati Reds and the Athletics and the Rays and teams
like that, those nickel and dime operations, they don't bid
on players like Vladimir Guerrero Junior when they get the
free agency. But there is a grand conspiracy, and what
a conspiracy it is making the rounds here that the
(06:19):
real motivation for the Yanks. We talked about this earlier
in the overnight, dropping their facial hair band is, at
least in terms of beards, is because Vladimir Guerrero prefers
to wear a beard, and so the assumption is that
that is an all of branch. It happens just days
after Guerrero announces that he's gonna not gonna sign with
(06:40):
Toronto and he's going to test the free agent market
and all that. And while it sure doesn't help or
doesn't hurt us shirts, it doesn't hurt the Yankees to
do that. Ultimately, when it break it, you break it
all down. Like Vladimir Guerrero.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
It's like that old.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Jay Z song. It's dead Presidents. That's what's really about here.
And Guerrero is one of these guys. We've talked about
this all the time, these big money free agents. And
he'll go anywhere, and whether that's Los Angeles or New
York or Boston or Kabul or Pyongyang or Baghdad, anywhere anywhere. Right,
show me the money. He'll sign with a team in Dubai,
(07:19):
the Dubai Bombers or whatever they're called. He'll go play there.
Right's business decision. That's the way it is, all right. Now. Furthermore,
to Saint Louis, we go where the Astro. The Astros
have renewed their interest. Reports recently indicating renewed their interest
in third baseman Nolan Aernato former All Star third baseman
(07:40):
Nolan Aernado should he wave his no trade clause to
leave the Cardinals for Houston. So I'm shaking my head. No,
you can't see because I'm on the radio and following
the teachings of Winnie the Pooh, Winning the Pooh, who
(08:02):
said that rivers know this, there is no hurry. We
shall get there someday. And so if you're Nolan Aernado,
you're not in a hurry.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Not now.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Maybe we get closer to the trade deadline, you're in
a hurry. But Aeronado turned down a trade to Houston
a couple of months ago because he deemed them not
worthy of his services, meaning he did not believe that
they are a contender.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
And I have seen no evidence that he was wrong. Right,
I go, where is he wrong?
Speaker 2 (08:32):
They're not a real legit contender, Like maybe they make
the playoffs because the American League West blows and so
someone's going to make the playoffs by winning the American
League West. But you look around and you look at
that Houston rotation. It's like Franbur Valdez. He's been hit
and miss here, Hunter Brown, Renel Blanco doesn't scream domination situation.
(08:55):
The line up, there's some question marks there and the
everyday roster is lacking the wow factor.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Your Dan Alvarez is a fine player.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
I don't know if he's doing it legitimately or not.
But the Astros are gonna have to in terms of
like the playoff team this year, they're going to have
to play three dimensional chess. Now, the three dimensional chess
the Astros play are trash cans, buzzers, and sandpaper for
the pitching staff.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
And if they have.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Those three things in Houston lingo, that's what the three
the three dimensional chess is. It's trash cans, it's buzzers,
and it's sandpaper, and it's just.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
A hunk of metal.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
So but I don't hold your Aeronauto is nearing his
thirty fourth birthday, which is not old in the big picture,
but in sports you're getting old. And he's got one
more shot the way I look at it on this
side of the bowie pulpit, one more shot Aeronauto's got
and you wait a little bit you go out you
bet on yourself. He's got guaranteed money anyway. But you
(09:57):
go out there, you play well for the first couple
months for the Cardinals, and the Cardinals sucked. But aaron
O has been going the wrong direction, Like the exit
velocity hasn't been good, all the nerd stats, it's going
the wrong direction. In the last couple of years, it's
not going the right direction. He had the worst hard
hit percentage of his career. If you're into that kind
of thing. But if you go out there in April
and May and June and play pretty well and look
(10:20):
like you can still play defense at a high level
in July, you'll end.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Up on one of your preferred teams.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
And there's a handful of legit contenders and you can
end up on one of them all right. Now. Lastly,
we go down to Boston watching the Red Sox spring
training camp in Florida. Interesting chatter recently, and if you
saw this or not that the Red Sox trying to
get some more starting pitching before opening day and the
(10:47):
name that has been tied to them for some time,
Luis Castillo, and some noise that they could get Castillo
and some hot shot prospect, which is a suspect until
proven otherwise catching prospect in exchange for Rafael Devers, who's
got that ten year contract and has been causing some
(11:08):
issues about not wanting to leave the hot corner there.
So let's discuss should the Red Sox be open Should
the Red Sox be open to dealing Rafael Devers if
it means getting a front line starting pitcher from the
Seattle baseball team. And on this one, I'm nodding my
head yes on this on I'm not in my eas
(11:30):
now Devers. The more and more we watch Devers play,
it's not like he's a bad player. He's fine, and
the numbers are always inflated playing at Finway Park because
it's a pinball machine. But Devers was an impulse purchase.
They had him, but they had to sign somebody. They
gave away Mookie Bets for some pocket lint and half
(11:53):
a container of doctor pepper. That's what they got from
the Dodgers for Mookie Bets. And now Mookie's won two
championship with the Dodgers and will win probably two or
three more by the time he's done with that contract.
So they gave him away. They didn't want to sign
Xander Bogarts, who went off to the Padres. So they
had this young court the only one they decided to keep,
and it was really because they had to keep somebody
(12:14):
was raffie Al Devers, and so that's the guy they kept.
And he's a liability on defense. He's the worst defensive
third baseman in baseball. No one in the history of
baseball has lasted at third base as long as Devas
and been as bad as Devers defensively. So that's out there,
and he's locked up through twenty thirty three. That's how
many more years are left on the contract. So this
(12:36):
is a chance to go. If you're the Red Sox,
you go out and hit the button. You hit the button.
It's the eject button. And my boots on the ground
there in Boston are like, oh man, the Red Sox
farm systems loaded. Oh man, they're loaded. They got like
three or four guys. They are gonna be all stars
in the next couple of years. Of the mind, we'll
see if that's the case. But more importantly, right, more importantly,
(12:57):
you look at that soft underbelly in the American League.
Je Soto is not walking through that door at Yankee
stadiumunless he's wearing a Mets uniform, so he's out. The
Yankees are vulnerable, and they were in the World Series
last year. There is no juggernaut team. Does anyone think
the Cleveland Guardians are a jugger? No good regular season
(13:17):
team and take them that seriously. So if you look
at it the juggernaut, the dominance is on the National
League side of the bracket, the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
If the Atlanta Braves are.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Able to find the health Gem, which is unlikely, but
if that's the case, they have some buds. The Braves
are loaded. The Phillies have a great lineup. The Mets
have a solid team. That's all in the National League.
You look at the American League. If you're a team
like the Red Sox, you're like, all right, we got
something here. I mean, you look around. I was like,
(13:49):
all right, Baltimore is not as good as they were
last year. You're looking like Detroit was a playoff team.
But you really get scared about the Tigers and since
twenty twenty. Since twenty twenty, the Red Sox have had
one winning season and three last place finishes in the
American leagueest So, needless to say, I mean, they've been
(14:11):
pathetic considering the market and the money they have to
play with there, So bring in Luis Castile and at
least in theory, you put Castillo out there and you've
got him at the top of the rotation with Walker
Bueller and he's over from the Dodgers. He'll probably get hurt,
but Garrett Crochet from the White Sox. So there's a
lot of players that are injury prone at the front
(14:33):
of that Red Sox rotation. But assuming those guys are
able to piece it together, you're cooking with gas until
they get hurt.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
You're absolutely cooking with gas until they get hurt.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
And for the Mariners it makes sense because they have
a limp offense and Guerrera. If you look around, they're
not going to go out and sign a guy like
Vladimir Guerrero Junior in the offse He's very unlikely to
sign him. So here's the guy that's already locked up
in a contract, Rafael Devers. If you're Seattle, he can't
really go anywhere, and his enemy is good Devers if
he went to Seattle as he has, playing half his
(15:03):
games at Finway, but still at least competent offensive player. Anyway,
it is the Ben Malard Show. If you'd like to
comment on any of that, you can join us. But
we are moments away from a brand spanking new game.
So I need I think we have our contestant online one.
I think our contestant is online one, and then I
(15:25):
need a lifeline guy, somebody to be the lifeline guy. Now,
we can play with two contestants or one. I think
we'll probably just play with one contestant to start here.
It's a beta testing. We're going to play a new game.
The game is called and we'll still do the Malller
Militia feud at the end of the hour. But the
game we're gonna play straight ahead is are you smarter
than the FSR Tech Queen? Are you smarter than the
(15:47):
FSR Tech Queen? Our friend Lorena. We'll play that game. Also,
we'll mix into the conversation a forty plus year tradition
in sports is kind of coming to an end, kind
of coming to again. In we'll get to that and
we will do it next.

Speaker 2 (17:09):
Here we go, new game. Welcome in. We're gonna play
this on a weekly basis, assuming it is not a
disaster and the game very simple. We'll have a.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Series of questions.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Questions values for ten twenty thou fifty thousand, seventy five thousand,
one hundred thousand fake overnight radio money. And we have
someone challenging the FSR Tech Queen Lorena to test knowledge
and a number of categories that will rotate by the week.
Let's welcome in though our first contestant. What a better
way to start than Marcel and Brooklyn. Hello, Marcel, are
(17:44):
you ready to play? Are you Smarter than the FSR Tech?
Queen Marcel and Brooklyn?
Speaker 5 (17:49):
Oh, yes it is. I'm ready to go, all right.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Very exciting.
Speaker 6 (17:53):
Now.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
I want to thank Cincinnati Tommy, who inspired this game.
If you listen to my podcast on the Weekends with Danny,
we actually talked about this a while back, and then
because of the TV stuff and my time commitments, I
didn't have time to really sit down and hammer out
the game board and all that. But I did find
some time this weekend, and so here we go. It
(18:14):
is the maiden voyage of are You Smarter than the
FSR TECHWEK and we're doing this in love. Very smart, Lorenna,
you play place an idiot on the radio, but you're
very smart.
Speaker 4 (18:24):
Oh yeah, you know.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Oh yeah, you're just doing You're just doing exactly studying.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
I've been working my big brain muscle.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Yeah. And Marcel, you've been studying, right, You're very smart man, Marcel.
Speaker 5 (18:36):
Yes, I was studying hard, all right.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
So we all right, So Marcel, before I get going here,
we do have a lifeline line two. The lifeline is
line too want to be the lifeline? Line two?
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Doesn't want to be a lifeline?
Speaker 7 (18:51):
All right?
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Hold on a second.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
He wanted to play, but let me see if he
wants to be the lifeline.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
John.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Would you like to be the lifeline?
Speaker 3 (18:57):
John?
Speaker 2 (18:57):
You want to be my lifeline for Marcel? Absolutely? All right?
You're in Chico? Correct in California?
Speaker 5 (19:05):
Yes, all Chico, Sean, that's fun, welcome along.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Well he's not his name is not Chico.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
He's all right, he's in there's a city, all right,
all right, hold on, all right, So Marcel, the way
this is gonna work, I'm gonna ask each of you
a question. You'll have to reveal answers and whatnot. No
cheating or anything like that. Questions guys, as I said
for ten, twenty fifty, seventy five and one hundred thousand,
and you've got to get five questions right to win
(19:35):
the game. Now you have two lifelines, Marcel, you can copy.
If you don't know the answer, you can say I
want to copy Loraina's answer. And if you both get
it wrong, you stay alive. If she gets it right,
you don't get it right the game, that should technically
end the game. So the game might be over after
one question. And you have a phone a friend, which
is John in Chico. So Marcel, you have two lifelines
(19:57):
to get five questions right.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
We're playing.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Are you smarter than the FSR tech queen? Do you
understand the rules?
Speaker 1 (20:04):
All right?
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Well said the categories this week? Are you excited for
the categories? Lorena?
Speaker 4 (20:09):
You were asking, I'm very very excited.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Loreno was trying to get she is She coorded me
in the hall. She was trying to ask tell me
anything I know. I wouldn't tell her anything. All right,
So the categories this week, and these will rotate. But
this week the categories are sporty, multiple choice, sporty basic,
pop culture, geography and history. Marcel, you're challenging Lorena, so
please pick the category pop culture. Okay, you want to
(20:35):
go pop culture? Very good?
Speaker 1 (20:36):
What a what a great way to start, Marcel?
Speaker 4 (20:39):
Can you double check it's sporty?
Speaker 1 (20:41):
What's that you said?
Speaker 2 (20:42):
It was sporty, sporty multiple choice, sporty, basic, pop culture,
geography and history. But we're gonna start with pop culture,
all right, everyone ready, here we go. Question number one
pop culture. Janet Jackson got in trouble for doing this
is during the super Bowl. I know, all right, Marcel
(21:05):
and Brooklyn, please Marcel.
Speaker 8 (21:08):
Janet Jackson from the super Bowl. Yes, oh, I believe
it was Michael Jackson performing some of his songs in
the Super Bowl back.
Speaker 5 (21:16):
In nineteen ninety four.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Okay, oh all right, interesting.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
So again the question was Janet Jackson got in trouble
for doing this during the super Bowl? Larna, you agree
with Marcel. You want to give a different answer.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
I disagree, Ben, I would like to give a different answer.
All right, go ahead.
Speaker 4 (21:33):
She was in trouble for exposing her lady bits, Yes,
the air with Justin.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
All right, that is correct. Oh, look at that unbelievable, Mars.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
But you got it wrong, Marcel. Yes, she showed her
movies on television.
Speaker 5 (21:46):
Oh my gosh, that's.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Some people thought already.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Some people disagree with that. Well one question. The game's
already over, but we'll keep going. Why not, we'll keep going.
We will move on to the other category.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Marcel.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
We thought it was only over if they both lose.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Oh okay, well fine, we'll keep going until they both lose.
We have more time to kill. We have a sporty
multiple choice. Sporty basic geography and history. Marcel, please pick
your poison.
Speaker 5 (22:16):
All right, let's go with.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
No notice. He's not picking this, she's not picking the
sports questions. All right, here we go. Well this is basic.
How many continents are there? How many continents are there?
Everyone should know this?
Speaker 5 (22:33):
Six or seven?
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Well, Marcel, I need there's only one answer, Marcell. You
can't have more than one answer.
Speaker 7 (22:40):
Would you?
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Would you like to use a lifeline on this? You
want to use a dial a friend on this to
stay alive?
Speaker 6 (22:47):
All right?
Speaker 5 (22:48):
Dollar friend John in Chico?
Speaker 2 (22:50):
All right, well dial a friend, John. Marcel is dialing
you up. He needs your help. John on how many
continents there are?
Speaker 6 (22:58):
All right, John?
Speaker 5 (23:00):
How many contents that you that we are right now?
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Yes? Well said John.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
I think your lifeline is not paying attention here. Marcel.
I think he's oh man.
Speaker 8 (23:16):
Someone who put John and Chinko on the line. Please,
we need your help right now, John, before.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Yeah, he said all he's said, there he is, there's John.
He says seven. It sounds like he might have cheated.
Uh so, Marcel, hold on which answer do you.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Want to go with Marcel? Six or seven? Seven?
Speaker 2 (23:36):
All right?
Speaker 1 (23:37):
And Lorraina, please.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
Yeah, I drew out all the continents, Ben, you did?
Speaker 2 (23:41):
I did?
Speaker 1 (23:42):
I don't believe I really did.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
What do you think? What do you think? I only
drew six so you believe six is the answer. Okay,
let's see reveal answers. Well there are seven continents? Oh
my god. All right, well we're still alive here. Marcel
got that one right, thanks to his phone or friend
there in John in Chico. And we will will move on.
(24:08):
You're listening to our live coverage?
Speaker 4 (24:09):
Is Asia the smallest content?
Speaker 5 (24:13):
It's got to be seven continent?
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Come on, everyone knows that.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
Cook Please all right, we have three categories left we're playing.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Are you smarter than the FSR tech Queen?
Speaker 2 (24:22):
We have a sporty multiple choice, sporty basic, and history. Marcel,
which one do you want?
Speaker 4 (24:27):
Sporting, sporty Antarctica?
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Bad?
Speaker 6 (24:30):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (24:31):
I know?
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Well, there you go.
Speaker 6 (24:33):
Keep the line for the lifeline, keep me a lot.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Okay, all right, here we go tiebreaker, right, yeah, that
is all right, let's go. Here we go sporty basic
multiple choice? Okay, multiple choice, And here here's the question.
What does NBA stand for a National Basketball Alliance, b
National Basketball Association or C nation in basketball alignment.
Speaker 8 (25:02):
Marcell NBA stands for the National Basketball Association.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
All right, so you're going with b Lorraina, which one
do you think?
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Yes?
Speaker 9 (25:11):
It is?
Speaker 4 (25:11):
Ben?
Speaker 1 (25:12):
All right, look at that.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
You both got it right.
Speaker 4 (25:14):
You're so smart you should have give them multiple choice.
Speaker 6 (25:17):
On that half.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Marcy Lord, Well, okay, all right, we've done that.
Speaker 4 (25:22):
We have two pointer. It wasn't a hard one.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
It We have two questions that we have, sporty basic
and history. Marcel, which cager do you want? Are you smarting?
Sporty basic? Are you smarter than the FSR tech queen?
And here we go sporty basing. No multiple choice on
this sporty base. This one should be easy for both
of you. How long is a marathon like the New
(25:46):
York Marathon the Boston Marathon? How long is your standard marathon?
Marcel one, I don't think.
Speaker 5 (25:54):
So, believe it or not. Instead of the New York Marathon,
I go with Boston, home of the method.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
That was not the question. Marca.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
You're not trying to I know you're trying to suck
up to the people see in Boston, but Marcel, please,
I need an answer.
Speaker 5 (26:08):
All right, the New York how old marathon?
Speaker 1 (26:12):
How long it's going to be?
Speaker 6 (26:14):
Just seven or even eight hundred miles long?
Speaker 2 (26:18):
Okay, seven or eight hundred miles long? Okay, wow, that
is quite the marathon. Lorena, you want to answer that.
How long is a marathon? I am not a marathon specialist,
ben or not, but okay, five K is coming to
my mind.
Speaker 5 (26:36):
Oh oh five five K?
Speaker 2 (26:38):
All right, well the real answers. Well, you're both wrong.
A marathon is not seven or eight hundred miles. It's
twenty six point two miles, twenty six point two miles.
Speaker 4 (26:51):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 6 (26:53):
How do I know that two miles?
Speaker 1 (26:57):
I mean, I knew that. I'd never run a marathon.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
Really, it is because then the guy run from marathon
to marathon, right to tell him something, and it was
twenty six point two miles back in Roman times or
something like that.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
Oh, I've never heard that.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Yeah, that's why.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
That's why it's twenty six point two miles, because it's
some historical story when a guy ran like twenty to tell.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
About an incoming invasion. All right, well, this is going
very well.
Speaker 6 (27:21):
I can't believe the twenty six point two miles of
the marathon is gonna be Wow, hoes.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
We we're tied. We're tired, Marcia.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Okay, it comes down last one. It's a history question, Marcel.
Are you prepared history?
Speaker 6 (27:35):
And we'll get this correct. The lifeline would be a
lie for me if not, no.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
Copy, you already used your lifeline. You've already used your
life and you can't use it again. Marca, you only
get one lifeline. All right, here we go. This is
so simple. I mean, if you guys don't get this,
I'm gonna smack both of you. Okay, all right, yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Here we go.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Who is famous for saying I have a dream. I
have a dream?
Speaker 5 (28:01):
Martin Luther King.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Marcel says Martin Luther King Jr. Do you agree with that,
Lorena or do you have a different answer? Maybe Marcel's right,
maybe he's not. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (28:12):
I think it's the original Martin Luther King.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Sor I hope to get this right. Oh my god, No,
it is Martin Luther King Junior. And that means Marcealad
smarter than the FSR tech Wing. Congratulations Marsalad Brooklyn, you're
the first ever winner of are you smarter than the
FSR Techleague ticket.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
Unfortunately he does.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Yes, you gotta go on the Techet Cats. Congratulations Marcel.
On a technicality, it's a Martin Luther King junior.
Speaker 6 (28:47):
And that seniors all this year in the Benny Awards
will go to be back to me as always, add Lorena.
It's been all wonderful, amazing, amazing playing with.
Speaker 4 (28:59):
You wonderful as well, very very well.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Okay, all right, listen to the podcast. Thank you Marcell
your ball guarding at the time. There's Marcel, the big
winner of the first ever match up. We have so
many geniuses on this. I can't wait for Blair and
Maine to play and hollering James and.
Speaker 4 (29:17):
Then they get so good at this game.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
Oh man.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Okay, and we'll have endless questions.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
So there it is.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
What do you think?
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Give me your feedback? Did you guys like the game?
What can we do to improve the game? And let
me know it's a debut. There are you smarter than
the FSR Tech Queen And again thanks to Cincinnati Tommy
who helped us out. Appreciate that. Let's say hello to
uh let's see your Mike. The Leprecaun is in Boston. Hello,
(29:44):
Mike the Leprechaun.
Speaker 7 (29:46):
Good morning. I have many suggestions to tweet that game.
Make it a little foster, but I considerence you in
an email. But anyway, Yes, it was fun. The questions
are too easy.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
That's kind of the point of the game. That's the
that's my god again.
Speaker 7 (30:03):
I have a fun fact about the twenty six point two.
Speaker 10 (30:06):
