Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our number three, our three of
the podcast, and it's all about gambling. You can bet
on it. The NFL Players Association sending out a memo
because they say, hey, there are some people who work
for the gambling companies that are snitching. How do you

(00:20):
interpret this latest memoranda from the NFL Players Association about gambling?
And why did the union reach out to the agents
to inform them of the gambling protocols? Is it possible
to keep NFL players completely away from gambling. We'll talk
about that and more right now here. It is our three,

(00:41):
Hello and welcome, it's our number four, our four of
the podcast. It's been a story we'd followed for the
last couple of months. DeAndre Hopkins not happy in Arizona,
likely going to leave the Cardinals, but he is implying
now that he doesn't want to trade. How do you
explain this latest plot twist DeAndre Hopkins social media post?

(01:04):
Does DeAndre Hopkins want out of a Cardinals uniform? And
what are the odds? What are the odds that DeAndre
Hopkins stays with Arizona or is traded. We'll talk about
all that and more right now here.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
It is.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
Have a great day. It's our number four trade. Do
you think I want to trade? Are you out of
your bloody mind? Welcome in the beginning of another hour
of the Ben Mather Show. We are in the air
everywhere Musketeers, as we sprinkle every segment with a little

(01:38):
bit of sarcasm. We are hanging out coast to coast,
border to border and beyond on the mast and planetarily
powerful microphones of FSR emmnating live from behind the wheels
we drive in the fast lane. We are broadcasting live
from the tyraq dot com studios. Tyraq dot com will

(01:59):
help you do you get there? An unmatched selection fast
free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand
recommended installers. Tire ract dot com the way tire buying
shit me so our lead this hour. Are we going
to do a rare and appropriate hockey monologue about the
New York Rangers being bedeviled by New Jersey? No, we

(02:22):
are not. Are we going to dance on the grave
of the Boston Celtics, who are not doing very well
in their series against these seventy six ers. No, well
we are not. But they did lose somehow to a
team without their best player, Joelyn beat at home, shocking,
it happened, It did happen, and the Denver Nuggets up
two games to none over the Phoenix Suns. But are

(02:45):
we going to talk about that?

Speaker 2 (02:46):
No?

Speaker 1 (02:46):
No, no, no no, because why it's always football season somewhere
in the twilight zone. Are lead this hour coming from
the NFL. Now that the draft is in the rearview mirror,
we have some other big business to attend to the
Three big stories of the NFL offseason were what Aaron Rogers?

(03:07):
Would Aaron Rodgers end up playing for the Jets? Would
the trade happen? Lamar Jackson asked for a trade he
wanted out of Baltimore. That was another big story this offseason.
The third story not quite as big, not quite as big,
but also on the list deanre Hopkins. I wanted trade.

(03:29):
I would like to be traded. Now you actually said
that in those words, that he wanted to trade. But
Arizona's wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins has officially responded to the
trade rumors surrounding him that had been bouncing around, and
he would like a one ticket, a one way ticket,

(03:50):
I should say, out of the Grand Canyon State no,
if you didn't see this, and maybe not, maybe not. Hopkins,
who was claims he's back in Phoenix. He posted a
video on social media discussing his possible departure from the Cardinals.
As Warner Wolf used to say, let's go to the
audio tape. It's fun.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
I see everybody telling me to stay.

Speaker 3 (04:11):
Who said I want to go? Who said I want
to leave? I'm working?

Speaker 1 (04:18):
Oh, I'm glad. This is great.

Speaker 2 (04:20):
You know what?

Speaker 1 (04:20):
I need to post more videos. I'm out here working.
I'm doing a talk shop, work egg, I'm talk egg,
I'm working. I can't. I must be the biggest douchebag
athletes that post videos of them working out. I'm fascinated
by this, Like, what are you doing? Like tell me
your douchebag without telling me you a douchebag. The worst
was JJ Watt. He's no longer playing, but that guy

(04:41):
used to do that stuff. Oh my god, what a pen.

Speaker 2 (04:43):
Of the end.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
Anyway, there you heard it. Hopkins working out at an
undisclosed location in Arizona, and he says, a yeah, I
see everybody's telling me to stay. Who said I was
gonna go? Who said I want to leave? I don't
know everybody. Hopkins has been included in trained conversation since
the end of the twenty twenty two regular season. He

(05:04):
was part of a Cardinal team that not only was
a football team, they sucked. How do we know that
because they played seventeen games. I know Giannis doesn't think
that wins and losses matter, but for the rest of us,
they only won four of the seventeen games and missed
the playoffs. So let's discuss the question, how do you
explain the latest plot twist with DeAndre Hopkins and his

(05:28):
social media post? Who said I want to go? Who
said I wanted to leave? So I've got district fingerprints
and London and we will combine all of these things
together and we are going to make a prickly cactus
is what we're going to make. So to lead off here,

(05:49):
DeAndre Hopkins is living on a technicality, and you can
win a fight on a technicality, you can win an
argument on a technicality. But this does not pass the meltest.
And he's been a bit of a politician right to
a degree. He believes he has plausible deniability because he
never said the words I would like out of here.

(06:11):
This team blows. He never said that about the Cardinals,
but since he never actually went down that road, he
just indirectly implied that he would like to leave town. Okay,
So in this latest video, DeAndre is stopping by a
place which is in San Diego and other locales. It's

(06:36):
called the Gaslight District. He's in the district, the gaslight
district there in San Diego. He's using psychological manipulation. Gaslighting
is something again that political weasels. Do you do one
thing and claim that you're doing the opposite or you
were going to do the opposite, making people question their
own memory. For the past four months, for the last

(07:00):
four months, DeAndre Hopkins and his agents have been flirting,
playing footsie with a bunch of other teams, whether it's
the Patriots or the Cowboys or the Buffalo Bills. Behind
the scenes, that's been going on. How do we know it?
Because I happen to have this job and I'm a
loser and I follow this nonsense. That's how I know it. Okay,

(07:24):
everything has moved in a snail space. Now furthermore, does
DeAndre Hopkins want out of a Cardinals uniform? So I'm
nodding my head. Yes, we already laid out the gasline district.
Hopkins fingerprints are all over these rumors. While he never
did say I want a trade from the Arizona Cardinals,

(07:44):
his fingerprints are there, both indirectly and directly. There's some
DNA left at the crime scene as an illustration. DeAndre
Hopkins was asked during a recent appearance on a podcast
to use body language or facial expressions to determine whether
or not he was interested in being traded to certain teams.

(08:07):
During that appearance, the Patriots were one of the teams mentioned,
but during that appearance, he hinted that he would be
interested in a trade for a deal that would send
him to the Chiefs or the Bills. Furthermore, Buffalo linebacker
Von Miller, who works as a team ambassador and assistant

(08:27):
general manager. Von Miller also stated, not once, not twice,
but multiple times three times, I think that Hopkins wants
to join the Bills. Where the Buffalo rome and Hopkins
was also wait a minute, flirted with the Dallas Cowboys
as they have had butterfly eyes with each other. They'll

(08:48):
make out with the Jerry's World crowd, all right. Lastly, here,
so what are the odds that DeAndre Hopkins stays with Arizona.
Now he's traded that he stays with Arizona. So I'm
going to set the number at plus four hundred that
he stays. That implies a twenty percent chance that DeAndre

(09:10):
Hopkins stays, an eighty percent chance that he's either released
outright or traded. Hit the road, Jack, and don't you
come back. I'll tell you why. The Cardinals have been
trying to play the match game. It obviously hasn't work.
They've been unable to find a team willing to acquire
the services of DeAndre Hopkins. His future continues to be

(09:34):
in London, as in a London fog, that thick piece
soup fog which London is known for hovering all around.
And of course it is complicated, right, it is complicated
for several variables. Hopkins turns thirty one before next season.
Now that's not old in life, but in sports it's old.

(09:55):
When you're a wide receiver. Very few wide receivers historically
have been successful. As they get passed, like age thirty two,
their production goes down dramatically. You toss in the fact
that he is a convicted steroid cheat, He's a p
d cheat. He's tainted with that, and Arizona terrible last year.

(10:16):
They're gonna be even worse this year, if that's possible.
And toss the money thing, as we said there for
a player at the end of his career, at least
at the end of his productive career, and you do
the arithmetic, and you carry the numbers over, and Hopkins
is under contract with the Cardinals through twenty twenty four,
and it all leads you to believe that he is

(10:37):
not going to be in Arizona because the Cardinals will
not even sniff being a good team with Hopkins under contract.
It's not going to happen. And contracts are a one
way street in the NFL. You are contractually obligated to
play for the team, but if the team gets tired
of you, they are then not contractually obligated to pay you.

(11:00):
It's usually how that works. Pretty good business model. The
NFL's got it is the Ben Mather Show. Now we
have double barrel action in the NBA tonight. The playoffs continue,
they'll be going on and on and on and on
and on and on and on. But this being the
second day of May, here we've got doubleheader action. The

(11:23):
New York Knickerbockers and the Miami Heat will square it
up at the Garden. Jimmy Butler listed his questionable sounds
like he's not going to play, but we'll see. The
Knicks opened a six point favorite. They were favored by
six and a half. So then the Knicks favorite to
win that game by more than six and a half,

(11:45):
and the money over seventy percent on side of the
New Yorkers. And then the Lakers and the Warriors, and
the Warriors opened a five point favorite in San Francisco
on the home court. There again the Lakers, and that
has been bet down a wee bit and currently at

(12:06):
this moment we're doing this in real time. The Warriors
are favored by four and a half on the home court.
So what's gone down by a half a point? Money's
pretty similar. It's actually some more money coming in on
the Lakers. If you're into that kind of thing. It
is the Ben mal Show. There's a line open for
you if you'd like to be part eight seven seven

(12:50):
we had a spur of the Moment Octagon for that
Laker Warriors series. If you missed it, you can hear

show's over. The potat cast will be up. You can

you actually hear it if you were not listing hours
and hours ago, and we did it. But we had
a good matchup Alameda Loo representing the Warriors and Manuel

(13:12):
from Guardina and Socow representing the Lakers. So that was
the matchup. So you're no longer in the NBA playoffs,
What are you gonna do now? We'll get to that
and we will do it next.

(14:48):
account here. Do you think Will Levis is a Jake
Locker two point zero for the Tennessee Titans. That's my take.
I'll take it off there, so no, But did Jake Locker.
He's a special kind of garbage and he was dreadful.
I don't think Will levels will be that bad. But
based on from the different video clips I've seen, I

(15:11):
didn't watch too much of Kentucky football, I'm not overly optimistic.
I'm not overly optimistic that things are going to go well.
They're Jj from Renton, who used to be a great caller.
Now he's a marginal Twitter user. He says, Ben, I'm
going to the Mariners cheating Asstros game this Saturday, and
he says he's got the tickets right behind home play. Well, congratulations,

Of course. It's one of the great traditions in Dayton, Ohio. Right,
you rock all of Dayton.

Speaker 6 (16:27):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, I'll say one thing about the Cavaliers.
They kind of disappointed me. I think that they didn't
rebound and they were rushing their shots, but they just
just couldn't make it. But I'm glad they got to go.
But I like the Browns and the Browns draft picked
and the Bengals. I didn't follow it, but I know

(16:49):
two people came from Ohio State to the Browns.

Speaker 1 (16:53):
But so you're not into the draft, that's something that
you just you're not you're not out watching the draft.
That's not you, jam huh no, no, no, but you
But you think they had a good draft though, despite
not watching it, you think they did pretty well.

I know you do. No, you don't, not not You
hadn't watched Golden State in a playoff game.

Speaker 1 (18:41):
I just watched them. We get Sacramento for seven games?
What are you talking about?

Speaker 8 (18:46):
And then here come the Lakers, the old Lakers, and
guess what.

Speaker 1 (18:49):
Yeah, Golden State's gonna win, and then of course just
be a that's when they play this as a series.
It's a terrible take by you. Bad take games, bad take. Well,

talk to Dick than you do. You know, Michael, you're
just such a bad I'd rather talk to whoever's online three.

You're on the airline three hell out line three.

Oh hi Ben, how are you?

Speaker 1 (19:17):
Oh? Cowboy? John Brad from Windsor on Tim retired. I
was concerned too well.

Speaker 7 (19:27):
I hope you had a great birthday Saturday. And today's
the eighth birthday of her real cuteness, Princess Charlotte, who
was born the day as was the May second, twenty
fifteen of the Floyd Mayweather Junior Many Pacquia fight. And
if there was some way her parents could have taken

(19:48):
her to that fight of the day she was born,
she would probably still be in in Comela because that
was a rotten fight. And anyway, on April thirtieth, eighteen
sixty nine, Jim Maloney of the year It's No hit
the Astros ten nothing. The next day May first, fifty,
Don Wilson of the Astros, no hit the Reds for nothing.

(20:09):
That's only the second time that consecutive no hitters have
been pitched against the different clubs. That happened September seventeenth, eighteenth,
nineteen sixty eight, when the Giants the Lake Giants, Spitballis
Gaylor and Terry no hit the Saint Louis Cardinals Boks
day Ray Washburn of the Cardinals. No hit the Giants,

(20:32):
but anyway, also uh Will Garrett quates Well actually was
taken on the lineup for the first time in two
thousand and thirty thirty games and replaced by Dave Dogwin.
This was against the Tigers, and the Yankees missed them
so much that they edged the Tigers twenty two to

(20:54):
two that day. My father and some of his buddies
listened to that game, and exactly twenty five months later,
Gary who was seventeen day short of his thirty eighth
birthday to come to amiotrophic laterals clerosis, which is the
first now known as.

Speaker 1 (21:10):
Luke Good Grab it up, rab it up.

Speaker 7 (21:12):
At tomorrow, Jim Genteel, the Olden and Frank Valley of
the fourth seats will be eighty nine speaking people tomorrow morning.
Remember you've got to be a cool boy to be
a cowboy.

Speaker 1 (21:24):
There goes cowboy genre where he goes only he knows.
Interesting story out of the state Ohio, we talked last hour.
You can hear it on the podcast. It'll be up
shortly after the show. We talked about the gambling story
in the NFL. The NFL Players Association sending out a
memo to agents to tell them make sure your players
aren't betting on NFL games at the team facility, because

(21:48):
they're tracking that stuff.

Speaker 2 (21:50):
Well.

Speaker 1 (21:50):
And I mentioned years ago, I was a young, young
pup and I was at a book in Vegas and
shortly after the age which I was legal allowed to gamble,
I'll side of a guy who claimed to run the place,
and he was explaining to me, like all the big
gambling scandals that have been uncovered were uncovered by the
bookmakers because they don't want to lose money, and they

(22:13):
lose a lot of money in situations where the games
are being fixed or there's insider information. So I bring
this up because the story out of Ohio on Monday,
the gambling regulators in Ohio instructed these sportsbooks there to
stop all wagering on college baseball games involving Alabama. Say

(22:37):
what this, Ohio, We might have to check with just
Josh and Justin and Cincinnati whatnot. I don't know if
they're involved in this, but anyway, the gambling regulators there said, hey,
no more suspicious wagering activity was detected. The Crimson Tides
game against LSU on Friday. Boy who's Jones in the

(23:00):
bet on a college baseball game. I mean, what are
we doing here?

Speaker 3 (23:04):
Sounds like Jonas knocks.

Speaker 1 (23:06):
Oh yeah, it does sound like something Jonas would be.
And I did hear a story. I don't know if
this is true, but I've I've repeated it many times
that when the WNBA started, some wise people made a
ton of money betting on the WNBA because the sportsbooks thought,
who cares, They didn't spend that much time paying attention
to it, and it was like it wasn't really worth

(23:26):
their time. And so those that paid attention to the
WNBA actually won a fair amount of money. But how
much you think is wager in a college baseball game?
Can't be that much, right, can't be. So if any
large amount comes in on a college baseball game, that
would raise a red flag, I would think I would agree.

Speaker 2 (23:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (23:43):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller

Listen to the Folly and Tony Fusco Show on the
iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast or wherever you get your podcasts.

Speaker 1 (24:28):
I saw the Blue Jay pitcher Kevin Gossman said that
he has been overwhelmed with recommendations. He is asking you
somewhere to eat, you know where to go, and he
says he's been loaded up with cinnamon rolls. So that's
not a The cinnamon roll is great to eat. I mean,
you can't go wrong with the cinnamon rule. That's my
all time favorite. It's a great thing. Right to cinemon role.

(24:50):
Do you like razors or no raisins in your cinnamon role?

Speaker 3 (24:53):
No raisins?

Speaker 2 (24:54):
Right?

Speaker 1 (24:55):
They used to have I wonder if you're old enough
Coop at the Big A and Anaheim they used to
have really good cinnamons, but they had like nuts on them.

Speaker 10 (25:06):
No, I'm all this, Well I don't think so, but
I mean, I'll take a pecan roll or.

Speaker 1 (25:13):
Yeah, yeah, it was a pecan exactly recovered in pecan
and cinnamon delicious.

Speaker 5 (25:17):
That one of my all time favorite. I did high
school football in central California. There was a school that
I did games for called Yosemite High School and it
was up in the mountains, Beautiful High School, and every
game home game, they would bring this like it was
kind of like a food truck, but they sold these amazing,

(25:39):
freshly made Sinnmon rolls with this all this frosting on it.
And at halftime, my my broadcast partner was a teacher
at the school, and he would interview like somebody in
the school, some activity thing, and I would always head
off down this cinnamon rolling and oh my god, it
was one of the greatest things I've done.

Speaker 3 (26:00):
God it was good.

Speaker 1 (26:02):
Yeah, well made. And then your thoughts on on monkey bread.
Monkey bread is great, which because it's the it's the
best part of the cinnamon roll monkey bread.

Speaker 3 (26:12):
So explain.

Speaker 1 (26:13):
I'm you've never had monkey bread.

Speaker 3 (26:15):
I'm not saying I haven't.

Speaker 1 (26:17):
It's it's just a it's a big.

Speaker 3 (26:20):
Isn't all parts of a cinnamon rule.

Speaker 1 (26:21):
No, that's that's a lot. You know that the best
part of the sinemon role is the middle part, the
gooey middle part where it's all wrapped together. There, that's
the that's the money spots. That a sweet spot. That
is true.

Speaker 10 (26:31):
But monkey bread doesn't have icing.

Speaker 1 (26:35):
Yeah, but you could make it and put icing on
it if you wanted to. You could add icing to it.

Speaker 10 (26:40):
That's true, right, And I like, I'm very passionate about
cinnamon rolls.

Speaker 1 (26:45):
I's not passionate about sports, but cinnamon rolls. Now we're
onto something passion.

Speaker 10 (26:51):
I've had countless, like you know, mom and pop shop
cinnamon rolls where you know it's like authentic, like fresh
out of the oven, and they're all They're great. I
love I love all cinmon rolls, but I feel weird
saying this.

Speaker 1 (27:03):
None of them even touch cinnabon. They don't. So just
a typical airport, you're waiting for a flight at O'Hare
and you get cinemon.

Speaker 3 (27:12):
Oh okay, I don't have a problem with that take.
I wish you could have tried these cinnamon rolls though, Coop,
I was telling you.

Speaker 1 (27:19):
Now I have a shocking cinnamon roll take okay, I
was gonna blow you. You boys are gonna be blown
away by this. So I was in Boston years ago
and I went to a Duncan to get a I
don't drink coffee. Yeah, you get really upset, but go on,
So I said, oh, didn't.

Speaker 3 (27:37):
They don't. They don't know what a cinnamon roll is.

Speaker 1 (27:39):
They call her coffee roll. They call her coffee roll,
not a cinroll. The woman at Duncan looked at me
like I was insane, Like I like, well, are you
speaking a foreign language here? What are you from some
weird country out in the not even country? She probably
thought I was from some galaxy far far away. Yeah,
but then they had them, but then they were called
coffee rolls. I don't like that bull crap. It's not

(28:00):
right that. Yeah, no simon role, no justice, That's what
I say.

Speaker 8 (28:05):
All right.

Speaker 1 (28:06):

a couple of NFL stories have been bouncing around. Reports

(28:26):
say the Tennessee Titans expect Will Levis to start sometime
in twenty twenty three. So okay, let's see here. Ryan
Tannehill is hanging on by his fingertips at this point,
so that's kind of obvious. Also, the Rams expect Stetson
Bennett from Georgia, who is a fourth round pick, to

(28:49):
be the backup to Matthew Stafford, another captain. Obvious stor.
It's like, oh, yeah, I get it. Why would you
draft a quarterback in the fourth round when you don't
have a backup? Right now? The Rams you signed Baker
Mayfield off the waiver wire last year because you were
desperate for a quarterback and Stafford got hurt. Now another story,

(29:09):
I want to change years here for a secon because
another story that's been bounced around saying it's the crossover
between sports and the red carpet, as they had in
New York on Monday night. The met Gala took place
there the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Indie pictures of this
are all over right Twitter. My question is this why, Eddie?

(29:32):
My question is why?

Speaker 5 (29:33):
Well, people love fashion, I guess, But who gets invited?
Do you have to be invited to this?

Speaker 1 (29:40):
A holes? Everyone in a society?

Speaker 3 (29:43):
Yogis Alexander was there? I know a big name.

Speaker 1 (29:46):
I mean I don't maybe in Oklahoma City is a
big name. I know.

Speaker 3 (29:53):
So that was my question, like, how do you get
invited to this?

Speaker 1 (29:55):
Well, you got to know somebody or Asian has to
know somebody. But my theory on this is convinced, Like
I remember I was many athletes these days, but in
the past when I was around athletes a lot, like
I'm convinced these guys do it so they can take
their girlfriends and their wives for them. I don't think
they're they were like some I don't. Do you think
these guys it's a it's a fashion thing. Shake Gill gets.

Speaker 10 (30:17):
Alexander was named the most Stylish Man of two thousand
and twenty two.

Speaker 1 (30:22):
Who's number two? Who was the second most stylish man
of twenty twenty two? I don't know, I need a name. Russell?

Speaker 3 (30:28):
I remember Russell?

Speaker 1 (30:30):
He wear a dress? Remember he wore this? He wore
a dress when.

Speaker 3 (30:33):
He was didn't he didn't wear a dress.

Speaker 1 (30:36):
Roger Federer was he was there? Who else was there?
Dua lipa. She's not an athlete though. I don't think,
Uh see any other names here.

Speaker 3 (30:47):
I think it was Anne Hathay Oscars.

Speaker 1 (30:49):
Of the East Coast. It's called Venus Williams was there.

Speaker 3 (30:53):
I heard she's pregnant.

Speaker 1 (30:54):
Oh, she congratulates masta. What else do we have? But
I don't know. I mean there's a bunch of different names.

Speaker 3 (31:01):
Is this a recent thing? It seems like it's only
been going on for a few years.

Speaker 1 (31:05):
At least been going on for a long time. I
think the accute it is because of.

Speaker 3 (31:08):
Social media, though, is why it's gotten a lot of
attention lately.

Speaker 1 (31:12):
Maybe well everything gets more attention. Andy Roddick, you know him, right, Eddie,
Andy Roddick, he was.

Speaker 3 (31:17):
I did not work with him, but I know he
worked here.

Speaker 1 (31:22):
I Metamois. He did the show remotely, that was before
everyone did the show remotely. But he was in Austin, right,
I think he was in Austin, Texas. Yeah, it seems
about right there, all right. It is the Ben Mather Show,
as we containe. I saw Patrick Mahomes was there. Do
you see that Mahomes was there?

Speaker 2 (31:37):
No?

Speaker 1 (31:37):
I did not, yea, his lovely bride was there as well,
very popular.

Speaker 3 (31:42):
She's hard to believe that she was there in front
of the camera.

Speaker 1 (31:45):
He's a lovely lady of my apologies to her. Stefan
Diggs was there, but he did not He did not
yell at anyone like he yelled at his quarterback famously
back at the end of the playoffs when they lost
Buffalo in the playoffs. Oh, I'm looking at a photo.
I think this is a update photo Russell Westbrook. He's
wearing pearls, Like who's the guy in the braves member
when they won the World Series, Jack Peterson.

Speaker 3 (32:08):
Yes, that's right, you wore pearls.

Speaker 1 (32:10):
Yeah, Russ has got pearls.

Speaker 3 (32:12):
Huh.

Speaker 1 (32:12):
That's wonderful. All right, well bet ma alla shaw, let's
sail real quick. They're rich. I'll get get a take
here from rich Richie got a good take for me.
Rich you got something for me.

Speaker 2 (32:21):
I had two quick things for you, one of which
is I'm going to explain college baseball and that I
grew up in Florida and college betting in the South.
Five of the top ten college baseball teams are in
the SEC. The number one ranked team the country's LSU.
That was the game that was suspended in terms of betting.
They were playing Alabama, who is a doormat in college baseball.

(32:47):
That would be like Oakland playing Tampa Bay. L she
swept him. Everybody l She is like thirty six and
five this year. So it's kind of hard to lose
betting college baseball. That's why they do it the South.

Speaker 1 (33:02):
Okay, I I fine, But like the thing that would
raise the red flag is if everyone's all of a
sudden betting on Alabama and then Alabama were to win,
and like that would raise a red flag. You're not
going to make a lot of money betting on a favorite.
That's just the reality of the situation.

Speaker 2 (33:19):
Yeah, but the money on LSU, that's going to raise
the flag this.

Speaker 1 (33:26):
Yeah, not as much as if it was on the
other way though, And that reminds me.

Speaker 3 (33:31):
Of a story.

Speaker 1 (33:31):
Rich. I had a guy called me up who and
I think Eddie was with me. It was years ago,
is the guy. He knew some shady people. He called
me up. It was late in the season the Pirates.
He said, you gotta bet on the Pirates. They were
a terrible team. They were playing the Cardinals. He said,
the Pirates are going to sweep the Cardinals. I can't
tell you how I know this it's going to happen.
And I said, you're full of crap. And I said,

(33:53):
there's no way that's going to happen. You're you're lying
to me. And hand to God, the Pittsburgh Pirates swept
the Cardinals in a late season matchup. I still to
this day, I have no idea what that guy must
have known something. I don't know what's going on. It
was a wild though. All Right, I gotta go. It
is the Ben Maler Show. Straight ahead. We are going
to have Site the Bite, the great sports radio mystery.
