Speaker 1 (00:00):
Been and Skin Show ninety seven point one. The Eagle
the wildest fetish ever. You'll find out what it is
at the bottom of the hour in the Love Shack.
But right now it's time for this.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Mountains around the sports KTD twins as all the sports.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Yes, and this positive sports news is brought to you
by Frankel and Frankel, our longtime friends.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
These injury lawyers are gonna take care of you if
you get Kurt in a car wreck two one four
three three three thirty three thirty three. Also eight one
seven three three three thirty three thirty three. We like
to say, call the Frankeles first, get him on the
case immediately, Kevin.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Mark, Scott Gene shout out. Those are the guys.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
Let's talk about the Rangers. They won again last night,
so did the Mariners. The Rangers still one and a
half games back. They won five nothing. They had basically
a bullpen game, although Jake Latz is turning into like
a good pitcher who might make the rotation next year
if they want him to. And it is a bunch
of guys who no one's ever heard of. Last night
(01:05):
it was a grand slam from Michael hellman, that did
the job.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Yeah, I saw that.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
I saw I saw his Grand Slam, and then I
think he had a double also, right RBI double or something,
and yep, I'm like, I don't know, Like I don't
Is he like a highly coveted prospect who's finally arrived
and like, no, just a guy.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
It just a guy. He's twenty nine. Oh my god,
he's twenty nine. I've been bouncing around a little bit.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
I think we sent him down to the Astros for
a couple of games earlier in the year two, and
then he came back to us.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Now he's basically the catcher from Major League. This is amazing, journeyman.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
You know what happened though, That grand Slam happened after
Kyle Higashioka hit a ball to left field and it
landed on the yellow of the wall.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
I mean a.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
Literal game of inches where it's one inch more and
it's a two run home run. The time is zero zero,
and the Brewers are the best team in baseball, so
you're going, okay, well, we're not going to score, probably
because oh Jonah Hy's up. Geez, talk about bad good lord.
And they ended up walking him and then we'll pitch
to Mike Helman. We'll take our chances with Mike Helman.
(02:11):
He sounds like our it guy. Smash grand Salami four nothing,
Rangers win.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
This is what's great about the Key because the reason
the Brewers have been so good this year is they're
intensive scouting. They didn't know who any of these guys were,
and so they were caught by surprise.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
You know what first base coach for the Brewers though,
Julio Borbone.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Hell, Yeah, is that right?
Speaker 4 (02:32):
Already in his forties by now, right.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Ten twenty eleven when he's called up.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
So, yeah, he was younger than Mike Heltman. Mike Helman,
some guy named Dylan Smith.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Dude.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
They you just they're out there and they're they're playing
with a lot of energy and running around. Cody Freeman
is just a big ball of energy and he's a tank. Noahdolis,
no Corey Seeer, no Marcus Simeon. You have all these hurt.
But Mike, we're ready for the playoffs. If you were
able to get back. I saw Ken Rosenthal wrote a
big thing. He's like, if the Rangers can somehow survive
all of this, they're setting up to do what they
(03:08):
did in twenty twenty three, because this time in twenty
twenty three, we were all going, They're not gonna make it.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
What a disaster.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
I remember Jeff Kavanaugh and Emily Jones getting in the
herbs spat. Oh, I mean like they did, seem like
they were out of it.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
The one that I'm most curious about is Evaldi. Would
he be back if they would? They have to make
it all the way to the World Series.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
They don't know, okay, and I think they're probably not
saying too probably, but.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
That's part of his charm. Y'all know who's really good?
Eraldist Chapman.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Yes, I saw that he's like the best closer in baseball?
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Is that possible? He has video game numbers? Yeah, it's crazy. Wow.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
I remember how wild he was so nervous. Yeah, I
forgot he was a ranger.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
We got through.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
We won a World Series with him and jose Leclerk
looking terrified.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
What was out there?
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Can we get lt Clerk on the show? I've been
thinking about him a lot the Sacramento Ways.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
It was probably a bad time when Tyler Tony of
Dude Perfect got a hit off him and.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
No, guys, you do have sex toy odds from Vegas
for the NFL. Will a sex toy be thrown onto
the field in Week two of the NFL? You can
bet on how many you can bet on the color?
What do you guys think is the leading color?
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Purple?
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Actually?
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Really no, well purple, purple is the color. Purple is
the color of throb. Let's let's see what Jeff Criley thinks.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
Which game will the d be thrown first?
Speaker 3 (04:44):
First? Him? Wait Sunday? What game? Oh? You get to
pick the game that? I mean?
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Did one happen last week that I missed?
Speaker 3 (04:51):
I don't think so. I didn't see one. Why is
this happening week two without intensity? Weird?
Speaker 1 (04:56):
No, I get that, but I would have thought there
would have been these numbers on Week one.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
Well, first one, your leading odds would be Giants Cowboys
at AT and T Stadium.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
So yeah, you don't want to do the earlier game? Yeah? Yeah,
for sure.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
The tone I was gonna throw it at Russell Wilson
by the way, umlu do you really want to know? Not?
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Really?
Speaker 1 (05:16):
He didn't have it?
Speaker 4 (05:20):
Yeah? Interesting green green because the WNB as those have
been green.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
All right, Thank you Kevin for all that you're doing
for the community. Speaking of the stuff that kt Google's
uh coming up next, the wildest sexual fetish of all time,
And then we get into a little cuss in the Cowboys.
Is Jaden Blue doomed in Dallas? All that's coming your
way on the Benett's Skin Show right here on the
