Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our name, Birth three, Our three
of the radio show. And what is the latest on
the High Speed Sports Wire the gossip section. What's the
latest on show? Heyl Tani trade chatter out of Anaheim?
Had another home run, another loss for the Angels on
(00:21):
Sunday night against the Astros. Why are the Cubs looking
to unload both Marcus Stroman and Cody Bellinger before the
trade deadline? And how are things looking for Aaron Judge
and a possible return to the Yankees lineup. We'll talk
about that and more right now. It's a baseball heavy
our number three, and it is yours to enjoy. Thank you.
(00:45):
The waiting game continues. Welcome, in the beginning of another
hour of the Ben Mather Show. We are in the
a everywhere, arm in arms. We are up for reelection
unless we're not coast to coast, border, the border and
(01:06):
beyond on the bast and resoundingly powerful microphones of FSR
ammunating live from the wound as we pour salt in
the open wound. We are broadcasting live from the ty
rack dot com studios. Ty rack dot Com will help

road hazard protection and over ten thousand recommended installers. Tyre
rack dot com the way tire buying. Shoot me in
our lead this hour coming from baseball. Who you're not excited,
You're not into baseball. There's nothing else going on right now.
It's all baseball. So we are inching closer the itsy
(01:51):
bitsy little spider A little bit here, a little bit
there to the trade deadline.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
I know, I know.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Try to hold your emotion. You're very clemped with emotion.
So we're fifteen days away as of today, as the
crow flies, fifteen days from today, August first, which is
also the day our friend Jayscoop will get on a
plane and fly to the Ukraine. But it's also the
trade deadline. So that afternoon Tuesday, afternoon August first, that
(02:18):
is when the music stops, and the last day to
complete a transaction. And after that you're stuck with what
you got. And if it's good, that's great. If not
doesn't matter. You're stuck with what you got. Deal with it.
So the biggest name on the block by far is
in Anaheim, and it ain't even close. It is not
(02:42):
even close. If you've not heard the chatter the latest
on this perhaps not whispers say the Angels are continuing
to field offers for sho He Otani. They want multiple
top one hundred prospects in any trade that would send
Otani out bound from Anaheim. They want to get to
(03:04):
top one hundred process. That's it. Shouldn't they get more
than that? Thank you, Captain obvious though for that, I'm
glad that that has been chatted about. That the Angels
want to top one hundred players. Amazing. So let us
discuss the question on this one. What is the latest
on the trade chatter? The latest on the trade chatter
(03:25):
involving sho Hei o Tanti. So I've got World Series
of Poker, Airbnb, and fruit stand and we will combine
all of these things together and we are going to
make a brick house, is what we're going to make. So,
first of all, for some reason, not sure why, I
(03:49):
thought the Halos would want a couple of sloppy Joe's
for sho hey o Tani, But it turns out they
actually want a pair of top one hundred minor league players.
And why stop there? How about top ten? How about
top five? Why top one hundred? Now the key thing
here to recall. And it's a quote we've used in
the past on these airways. If you've listened over the years,
(04:12):
you know this that a prospect is a suspect until
proven otherwise. Every year the baseball scouting services, there's a
couple of them issue the top one hundred minor league
players in baseball, and the following year they issue another
list and another Every year there's a fresh crop to
(04:37):
harvest of minor league players that are ranked in the
top one hundred. And you know what those lists often
have in common. Most of those lists are just spitballing
what you think is going to happen, right, what you
think is going to happen. The blue chip minor leaguers,
most of them fail to live up to the hype.
And when you take three steps back and you take
(04:59):
a deep breath and across the horizon there and you
notice that these trade talks that are going on between
the Angels and these other teams, it's like the World
Series of Poker. There's a lot of bluffing. There's a
lot of posturing that is going on. There's people wearing
sunglasses and hoodies and they don't want you to see
their eyeballs. And all of that. And so, for example,
(05:21):
we are told the Podreys are unlikely to trade for
Show Hey Otani before the deadline, that they do not
want any more star players, apparently they've met their quota. Instead,
they're looking to fill out their roster with players that
are more of a complementary variety for the pod squad
who have underachieved lost to the Phillies over the weekend
(05:44):
that series. Now Tampa Bay is expected to engage in
a Show Hey Otani trade. At least that's the word
coming out of Florida. I know that makes Jack the
Judge excited, our friend there in Bradenton, Florida. He's probably
fired up right now about that possible ability there. But
they don't pay, So how excited can you get? And
(06:05):
even if Otani wants to win? The Rays are a
regular in October, but how much are you actually going
to get if you're the angels from Tampa Bay. Considering
that they covet those minor league players, they hold them
as tight as possibly can be. It's like somebody trying
to hold on to not fall off the ledge of
an eighteen store, eighteen story office tower. You don't want
(06:26):
to let go, right I can't let go. I can't like, oh,
I can't let go. But they just don't pay a
lot of money in Tampa Bay. So that's even if
they trade for him, it's like, okay, what are you doing?
And so why would they rent Show hey Otani and
then watch them leave and go to the Yankees of
the Dodgers. It'll make a lot of sense. And I
am convinced, get asked a lot this question. I'm convinced
(06:47):
the Dodgers, even if they made an amazing offer to
the Angels, the Angels would not trade Otani to the Dodgers.
That if Otani leaves as a free agent and goes
to the Dodgers, that's one thing. You say, Well, he
was a free agent, what are you going to do.
But if you help grease the skids and make sure
everything goes well there and hand deliver him like manna
(07:09):
from heaven to Chavez ravine, that would not go over
well with the natives. The natives are restless there. You
can't be doing that. So it's more likely we said
this earlier. But if you look around, you say, show
hey Otani to the Mariners or the Giants, and the
Manners just say wait a Minute's in the division. Why
would you do that? Well, if you could rob and
pillage the Mariner minor league system, if you're the Angels,
(07:32):
and if that's your passing fancy to get a bunch
of minor league players, you can get a bunch of
those from the Mariners. Deplete the minor league system the Mariners,
and if you trade him to the Giants, you stick
it to the Dodgers. The Giants have a faceless team.
If you trade for some minor league players from San
Francisco and then Otani goes and plays with the Giants
and sticks it to the Dodgers, that's a little payback.
(07:54):
So those are a couple of scenarios. Now turning the
page on that. Elsewhere around baseball, we are right at
the deadline, close enough, a couple of weeks ago, as
we said, fifteen days away. A lot of noise out
of Chicago with the White Sox and the Cubs. But
for the purposes of this Mallard monologue, we are gonna
focus on the Cubbies, Okay, because the chat around baseball,
(08:16):
the chatter around baseball is that the Cubbies are open
for business, and there is a mounting belief that they
are looking to unload Marcus Stroman. That is not new.
Cody Bellinger, the former MVP with the Dodgers, can be
yours if the price is run. So what's going on
there with Chicago? What's going on with this that these
(08:37):
guys are gonna be shipped out of Wrigley soon before
the deadline? Why are the Cubs looking to unload Stroman
and Bellinger at this point before the trade down? So
they are looking around. The Cubs are looking around. They're
holding an overstock sale, is what they're saying. To say,
We're not trying to win. These guys are actually playing well.
(08:59):
This is a problem. We're overstocked with players that are
actually being productive here even though our record blows. So
we've got to right this wrong. We are not, as
the Chicago Cubs in the winning business. The Cubs right
now are running an airbn B. You can sign a
short term contract, go play on the North side of
Chicago a lot of day games, so you have your
(09:21):
night's freeze and go out night free and go out
to dinner and have a nice meal, do whatever you want.
Joyce Chicago. And then you wait until August and you're
traded away from Lake Michigan to greenier pastures. Knock yourself
out because they're not worried about winning. They don't worry
about competition. Cubs. These are your daddy's cubs. These are
(09:43):
the same old cubs, and they're waiting around for the
next hundred convoy, next convoy of minor league players. There
they had too much inventory on their hands, so they're
holding that sale and you look to sell off some
veteran players at a discount rate and save a couple
of bucks. And Bellinger has played well this year, unlike
(10:04):
some other players that were prone to hit into the shift,
like Joey Gallo for example the Minnesota Twins, who's still
hitting under two hundred despite the shift being banned, the
hardcore shift being banned. Well, Bellinger has been great, and
he's drawing interest from the Yankees by the way, his dad,
Clay played in the Bronx back in the day. And so,
(10:29):
staying with that train of thought, the final part of
this baseball heavy Mallard monologue, we learned over the weekend
that Aaron Judge took batting practice prior to a game
against the Colorado Rockies in the Mile High altitude there
in Denver, telling reporters afterwards that his toe is mangled toe,
(10:54):
that it is not healed. So even though he took
batting practice, his toe is still mangled. He said, though,
that we are quote on the right track, close quote
as he works to get back in the lineup. So
how are things looking for Aaron Judge and his return
to the New York Yankees batting order. So the outlook
(11:15):
at this point, as I appeared to look into my
crystal ball here a distant relative of no Stra Damas
and friend of Nostradinas who lives in Seattle, the outlook
is foggy with a capital F. It is foggy. It's London.
Fog is what it is. And here's why. It's like
(11:35):
running a fruit stand, but it's a fruitless fruit stand.
Aaron Judge has no sense of urgency to get back
in that Yankee lineup, even though the Yankees are floundering
and just lost a weekend series to Colorado, which is embarrassing.
The Rockies were the worst team in the National League
in the first half of the season. But there's no hurry.
(11:56):
He's like taking a leisurely Sunday drift, you know, how
you're driving your You're in a hurry, and that a
hole in front of you is driving as slow as
possible and you're like, what are they doing? I have
somewhere to go, get out of my way. I'm trying
to go gangbusters. And it's just a leisurely approach for
Aaron Judge, and that what that is is a flex
(12:17):
to me, that's a flex, like no, no, no, no, Nana.
You paid me, you dopes. I'm not gonna try to
come back quickly. I am going to wait. You gave
me a nine year contract for three hundred and sixty
million dollars. You're a bunch of idiots. I'm gonna take
my sweet time. I'm gonna lay my fat ass around
and I'll come back when I choose to come back,
(12:39):
and not a day sooner. That's what Aaron Judge is
saying to the Yankees, because I'll guarantee if Aaron Judge
didn't have this contract, if this was a walk ye
or free agency year, he would already have been back
in the Yankee Lina. But he knows he's got the
luxury of time, and there's no concern. Take your time.
The guy was injured by a gate at Dodger Stadium,
a gate, a bumping gate at Dodger Stadium, for God's sakes.
(13:00):
And meanwhile, the Yankees here will judge has all that
guaranteed money, and the Yankees are in the slop trying
to hang out with the rats down there in the
subway system of Manhattan in New York City. So the
Yankees stumbled out of the also break, losing the Rockies
the series over the weekend. Now they play the Angels,
who are also floundering in Anaheim. That starts tonight. Manager
(13:26):
Aaron Boone was asked if the Yankees are still a
championship caliber team after the recent losing skid. So you
make the call. What did Aaron Boone say? A, Yes,
the Yankees are still a championship caliber team. B No,
they're not. See we have to prove it or d
(13:50):
none of the above. And Aaron Boone said, see see
if you guess, see you win that. We have to
quote quote, we got two and a half bunchs to
put ourselves in a position to be championship caliber. We've
got to do it. It's on us. We gotta prove
that close quote. Of course, the obvious answer is what
(14:12):
do you expect Aaron Boone to say. Wouldn't it have
been great if he said, no, these guys blow. They
should be playing in Triple A. I don't know how
half this roster is in the major leagues. It's an
embarrassment to the Yankee pinstripes. No, that's not how Aaron
Boone rolls. He's not wired that way, nor does he
have to be. Why he is like a tenured professor,
(14:33):
Aaron Boone. He's got job security. He knows it all.
Aaron Boone is at this point is no different than
Dave Roberts. He's a middle manager, Brian Cashman. The nerds
do all the heavy lifting. They put the roster together
in the Bronx, and Aaron Boone merely follows orders from
the front office on who to play, when to play them,
(14:54):
how to play them. That's it, and whatever the three
ring Binder tells el Aaron Moon, the Yankees are at
best a secondary contender as they stand right now. Despite
all the noise, Despite all the noise, that is the
reality of the situation. It is the Ben Mahler Show.

Does anyone know the answers? He paged down? Big Panda
says he was signing the Packers season's Time of Death. Okay.
Justin In the Enchanted for says he they caught him
and Johnny Bench telling a joke. Yes, well, Justin, I
(18:20):
think you were the one that fed that joke to
Johnny Bench. As far as I know, I believe that.
Who else do we have? Casey Carl Holler says that
Aaron Rodgers signed the local Ayahuasca dealer to a ten
year deal. Callaghan tim says he signed up for a
wrestling match with Hulk Hogan. Ferg Dog says a sponge
(18:41):
from SpongeBob SquarePants he signed it. Who else do we have?
A reading? Astrology signs guests by Asher bottles of ayahuasca

(19:45):
answer to the Mallard riddle of the day?
Speaker 5 (19:48):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (19:49):
He signed Steph Curry's balls golf balls.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Just say that, Coop. It's a drop.
Speaker 4 (19:59):
We don't say a thing anymore.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
That's true. Why do we not say things anymore? Because
we have three different engineers. Is that way?
Speaker 4 (20:05):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Oh yeah, it's no fun anyway, the correct answer Aaron Rodgers.
NBC cameras caught Aaron Rodgers signing blank. That would be
a pregnant woman's belly. A pregnant woman's belly would be
the answer. It's not that unusual. Doesn't that happen from
the time to time? Is that good?
Speaker 4 (20:25):
Not to me?
Speaker 6 (20:27):
Well, no, no one wants us to sign anything, but
well it's not true, malor meet and greets. You signed autographs,
signed a few, but there's no like groupies there like
women as far as that's concerned.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
But we're both married men eddies yea, as many as
many hot women that love the show that are listeners
that he had, and we're taking men. So we can't
be bothered by beautiful women that want our attention because
it's just not the way it works. Let's go to
the phones and we'll say hello to Mason the Millennial. Hello,
(21:00):
he's in the Millennial in the Bay Area.
Speaker 5 (21:03):
Hey, Ben, that Mala riddle was perfect for what I'm
about to talk about. You know, the American Centric golf
tournament or wherever the hell it was. You know, you
kind of brushed over it when Eddie brought it up,
and God bless you Eddie for bringing it up. This
is relevant news what Steph Curry was able to do.
And I mean, I mean, I'm I'm a fringe sports fan,
(21:26):
you know, like like I enjoyed Wimbledon Final today and
but it's like, I know, but like golfers really appreciate this,
and if you know, golf like to marvel at Steph
Curry when he does all these things on the court.
And we watched him win like four or five championship
rings in the Bay Area, and obviously that means you
know a lot of someone in the barrier more than
(21:47):
anyone else. I get that. So I mean, have you
ever been to Tahoe, Ben, Yes.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
I have.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
I have.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
I've got a ton of the golfo and I have
been to Tahoe before. It's beautiful. I liked it. I
liked the lot of side more because you can gamble.
Speaker 5 (22:03):
Yeah, of course no, but I mean that's a very
you know constant spot, me and my family have gone
to and we went to this event. I actually ran
up on Steph Curry and took a photo with him
and snagged a photo with him at this very same event.
So I mean, that's my attachment to this.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
A personal attachment. It's big for you, but for the
most for the rest of us, not so much.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
I get that.
Speaker 5 (22:28):
I get that, but you've got to marvel as the
whole of what and her is a robot personally, But.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
I think I think you missed a spot. No no,
but like he's take your off, please my god.
Speaker 5 (22:45):
No, I'm not marveling. But it's just like it's kind
of weird because.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
He is a good athlete. Okay, I get it. Tony
Romo was a great golfer allSome.
Speaker 5 (22:56):
So Tony Romo is like one of those dudes that
wants to go pro and another sport. But he's really
not all that. Like Steph Curry does his stuff effortlessly.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
I know Steph Curry can turn water to wine. I
know he can see his sick children go to Steph
Curry and he makes a three point shot and they're
healthy again. It's fascinating.
Speaker 5 (23:16):
I'm a Laker fan, so it's kind of hard for
me to lick the pause of.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
You've done a hell of a job. Let me tell you,
Steph Curry's wife does not take care of him as
much as you just took care of him. Okay, congratulations,
I think you. I think Steph needs he needs a
smoke after hearing this phone calls. What Steph needs, that's
what he needs. Man.
Speaker 5 (23:37):
Hey, let this be a personal ad to get to Tahoe.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
Man.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
I've been. It's beautiful, beautiful. It is a lovely, lovely place,
Lake Tahoe.
Speaker 5 (23:46):
Eddie, get there, and good job bringing this story.

could just say Earl Weaver, oh yeah, he's injured.
Speaker 4 (25:29):

Speaker 1 (25:32):
No, I couldn't know who the manager is.

I don't know. I guess no Americans are any good
in this anymore because away.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
And that's it, you use electric bikes, Americans bikes.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
I think that might be just as cheating as the PDS. So, uh,
there was a giant crash at the Tour de France
because a fan. Uh you know, they line them up
on the side of the street there. You've probably seen
it before.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
And they're pretty close to him for the hills a front.
Speaker 4 (28:14):
And uh he or she had their phone out and
was trying because it's a lie overhead shot, but the
person had their phone out and they were trying to
either take a selfie or they were filming, and they
knocked one of the riders over and then it was
just a giant Dono effect of you know, they're all
(28:34):
packed together, these giant groups. It's like one hundreds crashing
on the ground. I don't know why I'm laughing. It's
not funny, but it kind of is funny.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
So what do they do? They have an action? Did
they stop the race? Like what happened?
Speaker 4 (28:47):
I don't know. I just see all there's all these
tweets about, you know, please spectators, you know, be respectful,
do not get yourself involved in the race, and YadA YadA, YadA,
guys got.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Hurt and please pay attention to the writers.
Speaker 4 (28:59):
Well I think I think this person was paying attention
to the writer trying to film it, but.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
Uh, it's impressive. What do you do with those videos?
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
But if you're the person that did this, do you
just like trying?
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Does anyone go back? Does anyone go back and actually
watch those like I mean, I've been watching it over
and over. No, I know, but I'm saying the actual
cell phone video. Does anyone go back and say, oh, man,
I I must remember this the Grand Tour. No.
Speaker 4 (29:25):
I think it's just for people to post on social
media say look where I was.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
Yeah, it's like when co when Lebron broke the scoring
record and broke Kareem Abdulz the bar's record, and you
saw this is what I saw, Eddie, like this statue
of liberty right like that.
Speaker 4 (29:42):
I'm not going to deny I've done a little bit
of that.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
I don't do that, Eddie. I did not do it.
Speaker 4 (29:46):
Well, they don't let you do. In the press box,
that's where you say you're talking about it, the actually
have a fan.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
Seats a reminder. Eddie's in a bad mood because he's
not getting a cookie. And according to Mark, those cookies
a winner, you, Eddie, loser, no cookie for you.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
No.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
In fact, Mark, you want another cookie? Would you like
another one? No? So only one?
Speaker 4 (30:08):
They must not be that good.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
Then they're not that big, Mark, Why do you want?
You want one?
Speaker 4 (30:11):
Doesn't like? I must not be that good?
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Oh your face?
Speaker 4 (30:14):
Oh yeah, he's gonna throw it out of the trash.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
You want another cookie? No? No, really, why not? It
has nothing to do with that that I had. I
had cold stones. I scream, that's what he said.
Speaker 4 (30:27):
And they want to hurt Ben's feelings.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
No, I'm serious. And then and so I had the coldstones.
And then I walked into the studio and I see
the box of Chrissy Cream? Did you say that? I
was the last couple?
Speaker 6 (30:35):
I did?
Speaker 4 (30:36):
I did?
Speaker 1 (30:37):
And then and then he told the cookie, So I
had to have a cookie. Listener said, those have been
sitting around for eighteen hours.
Speaker 4 (30:43):
Cool, that's true, but he longer than that.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Dan Byer supposedly brought those in. Some listeners said eighteen hours.
Speaker 4 (30:49):
Ago, and you ate them? That's fine.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
Did you put it? Did you put it in the
microwave to refresh it?
Speaker 3 (30:54):
No?
Speaker 1 (30:54):
But I I know you put it in a microwave
for like ten seconds. It refreshes the doughnut. Everyone knows that.
Oh it's fine. No, no, it's not as good. You
put in the microwave.
Speaker 4 (31:03):
Just put the cookie in the microwave. Oh you needed
a microwave your fresh cookie.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
Boy, you're number one, your number one, number one. No
cookie for you. In fact, you know, well, if we
do this Mallard meet and greet, I got to email
this cat. If we do this Mallard meet and greet,
I'll bring cookies, but you're not allowed to have one.
Any I'll bring and I don't know which ones I'll bring,
but none for you. Are you done?
Speaker 4 (31:26):
I'm done.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
Is the Ben Mailord Show as we continue on through
these overnight hours, and we thank you for being part
of the show. It doesn mean a lot otherwise we're
just merely barking at the clouds and the moon. This
portion of the show brought you by Progressive Insurance. Progressive

Progressive dot com. So wash your mouth out with soap
and water. Former Eagles running back Miles Sanders now in
Carolina and he has called Andy Dalton a future Hall
(32:10):
of Famer. That is, according to Miles Sanders. He said, quote,
we got a very good he said quote, let me
give the exact quote. We got a very very good
young quarterback, Bryce Young, number one pick that's being mentored
by a very very very good quarterback, a future Hall
of Famer, Andy Dalton, who I have a lot of
(32:33):
respect for. Okay, So Miles Sanders needs to wash his
mouth out with soap and water for that take. That's
like the worst take of all time. That's at the
very peak of Andy Dalton in Cincinnati. He was a
good NFL quarterback that got to the playoffs with the
Bengals and Marvin Lewis year after year. I think it
(32:54):
was seven years in a row. It was a pro
bowler a few times. But to say that he is
a future Hall of him maybe the Bengals Hall of Fame.
Could he have meant the Bengals Hall of Fame? Andy
Dalton could make the Bengals Hall of Fame. But that's
about it. Yeah, that's about it. Hello, Joe and Idaho.
What's going on?
Speaker 4 (33:14):
Joe?
Speaker 5 (33:16):
How are you guys doing tonight?
Speaker 1 (33:18):
Joe? If I was any better, I would be Eddie.
But no, I wouldn't because Eddie's not getting a cookie,
and so that's a problem.
Speaker 5 (33:26):
I totally agree with you. I don't think Eddie deserves
the cookie, and I think he's coming off a little
smug shug Eddie.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
He's disrespectful, he's ungrateful, and he lives west of the
four h five Freeway in Los Angeles. So that's why.
Speaker 4 (33:43):
He's homeless.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
Well, well, no, that's every other person in his homeless.
But no, no, no, no, he's he's a pompous, very
pompous Eddie. It's not right, smug Eddie. Yeah, so what's
on your mind here, Joe? What do you got for us?
Speaker 3 (33:57):
Well? This is my first time. I usually I'm I
worked a dreaded Oh.

instant of ice line? What do you think the topic
should be? That's what's upcoming? You know? What do you
think we should do for the instant advice line? Who
needs our advice? Uh?
Speaker 5 (34:24):
Should the raiders pay Josh Jacobs.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
Should the Raiders play? Should they pay Josh Jacobs? You
know what? I think we could do that. No, we'll
do that, all right, that's fine. You've just selected the topic,
Joe for the instant advice linking. Well, I mean, well,
kind of a yes or no question. What doesn't matter
what the question is anyway, answer they do whatever they want.

All right, So Joe, you the Raiders aren't paying you
know the answer. They're not paying Josh Jacobs. And and
here's what's gonna happen. Mark Davis will be sitting at
pf Chanin's eating some orange chicken or whatever, and the
deadline will pass, and he'll have some more fried rice,
(35:10):
and he'll have a drink, and then he'll leave and
go get a haircut.
Speaker 5 (35:14):
Most likely.
Speaker 3 (35:15):
Yes, but they're going to win a playoff game this
year because the passage of time.
