Snell want a trade from San Diego to a real contender?
And how did you grade Yankee pitcher Carlos Radone blowing

for the birds? Welcome In the beginning, you have another
hour of the Ben Malor Show.

We are in the air everywhere.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
I love trades.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Well, actually I like talking about what could happen when
trades happen. I kind of get bored, But we're gonna
talk about what's been.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Going on here.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
If you've been paying attention in depth team covers of
the August first trading post is we are just days away,
a little over a week from the music stopping and
that's it. Only a few shopping days left. And there
is some news out of Saint Louis. It's about the
only way we can talk about that team. They suck.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
But if you have not heard, maybe you missed it.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
We are told that the Saint Louis baseball team plans
to be sellers.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
They're going to trade.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Everybody, well not quite everybody, but the Cardinals are not
willing to trade Nolan Aernato. He is not available third baseman.
Saint Louis says, no, no, no. The only way they
would be willing to unload their gold glove winning third basemen.
Is if Aeronato says I want out of here, I
(02:51):
don't want to be here. And at this point, based
on what's been bouncing around, that is not likely to happen.
And it would appear that aeronauto will remain in Missouri
for the rest of the baseball season and for the
foreseeable future. So let us discuss the question here. Should
the Cardinals be shopping Nolan Aeronauta. Not that they are,
(03:14):
but should they? So I am nodding my head, Yes,
I am nodding my head.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
On this. I've got spaghetti Westerns, psycho analyzing, and Hickey
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are gonna make some toasted ravioli. I had not
had toasted ravioli up until a few years ago. That's
the local delicacy in Saint Louis and it is effing amazing.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
I am.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
I love my toasted raviol let me tell you that
right now. All right, so we'll put all these things together.
We'll have some toasted raviolis. Now number.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
The question should the Cardinals be shopping Nolan Aeronado. The
answer is yes.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
We are fans of Aeronauto. He's an uber productive with Colorado.
He's continued to be productive in Saint Louis. The Cardinals
would not get fair market in return, but they should
still do it right, They should still trade them. They
just get a couple of scratcher tickets and prospects, and
(04:18):
prospects are suspects until approven. Otherwise most of them don't
pan out the reason they should do it. I'm gonna
use a line from those old spaghetti westerns in Hollywood.
Spaghetti westerns. Well, head them off at the past. We're
gonna head them off at the battle. Cut them off
at the past. Right from the spaghetti westerns. Here's why
Eronato is thirty two. Now thirty two, as I point out,
(04:40):
not all right, thirty in life, not old. Well, you're
in good shape.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
Thirty two.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Probably got a little money. He went to school. Maybe
you didn't. You've been working, you saved the little money.
Hopefully you're doing pretty good. Line, body's not falling apart.
You're in good shape. Thirty two. Great age, but in sports, eh,
not that great. It's near the end of your athletic prime.
Usually it ends at thirty two. And I will point
out that based on the raw numbers, Aeronato is showing
(05:08):
some signs of decline. He is known as a defensive
stalwart eleven time Gold Glove winner, but this season his
run saved total stat that the Geeks came up with
is minus five. That ain't good.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
That's a red flag plus. Aeronauto is locked up for.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Big money, big money, big money to twenty twenty seven.
And as we like to tell you, do not let
a falling star fall on you. The Redbirds as a franchise,
I don't think I'm being too dramatic here. They are
in Nowheresville. They're not the worst team in baseball. They're
not the best team in baseball. They're just kind of there,
(05:48):
and they're in a crap division. So he say, well,
that gives you hope. You can just make a couple
of moves and end up back in the playoff race
because you're in location, location, location, the National League Central.
But the Cardinal way right now is the wrong way
these days. All right now, Page two, let's pivot to
San Diego, America's final city. Now, following another loss to Toronto,
(06:14):
the Pod squad continues to be teetering on the brink
of falling into the abyss. Padres are six and a
half games back in the wild card race. They are
ten back, ten games back of the big blue wrecking crew,
the Dodgers. So here's the conundrum to sell or not
(06:34):
to sell. We've talked about this earlier in the week.
There's a new development here before the trade deadline.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Blake Snell.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
If you've been listening to the show for a long time,
you know that Blake Snell is one of the most
talked about baseball players on our show. And we can
go back to twenty twenty and we did many a
mally monologue on Blake Snell. He is a pitcher, used
to be with Tampa Bay's and San Diego toiling away
there and he is the subject of a lot of noise.
(07:02):
There's a murmur around Blake Snell that he's likely to
be traded. He's on the trading block. Well, spoiler alert,
he does not want to be moved from Pacific Beach.
He would don't want to leave San Diego. He wants
to be able to get the ocean side when he
wants and all that. So he wants to say, quote,
(07:23):
I'd rather just stay here and see what happens, Blake
Snell barking at reporters in Toronto, I'd rather finish this
year here, meaning San Diego, and see what happens. And
then he added on an addendum saying that he believes
the Padres will be buying more players. He says, that's
what it feels like. Of course, why would you not
add more players? The team's playing so well, Oh wait
(07:45):
a minute, they're under five hundred. So why wouldn't Blake
Snell want a trade to a contender? Why wouldn't you.
It's a very odd juxtaposition. Here's why Snell is thirty
years old. He is in the walk year, which means
he's going to be an unrestricted free agent and trying
to get paid, trying to sucker the Red Sox or
(08:06):
the Yankees the Giants to pay him a ton of money.
And yet he says he wants to stay in San Diego.
So let me put on my medical hat. Well, I'm
not really a medical psychologist. Hat I'm gonna psycho analyze
Blake Snell. So psycho analyzing Snell aloofness, apathy, those are
(08:27):
the the first thoughts I have. He's not worried about
the Pennant race. He's indifferent. That's a form of apathy.
He's indifferent. He's content in San Diego and being traded
is a nuisance. It's an inconvenience. It disrupts your mojo.
I'm not playing unless I get mine, Bro and Bro,
(08:49):
I'm risking my life. Blake Snell is content riding out
the season on a sub five hundred pot team rather
than get the October bumpety Bump as a rental. And
there is a direct correlation. It has been proven to
(09:11):
postseason success and gold Bouyon in free agency. All right,
final point, Let's go over to the New York Yankees.
They had the day off. I believe they're heading back
to the Bronx, I think, but they continue to feed
the content kitty. The Yankees. Oh man, they're very good.
(09:31):
Big content week baseball wise from the Yankees. Some fallout
from something that happened the other day in Anaheim. Starter
Carlos Redon got toasted by the Angels lineup and then
while he was walking off the mound, did you.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
See what he did? You didn't see what he did?
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Maybe you missed it. So the Yankee pitcher, their big
free agent pick up, Carlos Redon, while walking off the mound,
blew a kiss to a Heckler at the Big A. Now,
when asked about this, why would you do that? This
PDA situation, and he said it was the best thing
(10:14):
he could think to do at that time, other than
simply ignoring the person upset with him. So let's talk
about this now, how would you grade? How would you
grade Yankee pitcher Carlos Redon blowing a kiss to an
angry pinstripe Heckler. Malard report card time, the Malor report card?
(10:35):
I give this. I'm gonna give it a B plus
is what I'm gonna give it. Why it is hilarious.
That is why you gotta see the video. Now, I
have no skin in the game on this. The Yankees are.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Being bludgeoned on a regular basis.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Lately. They got swept in the OC by a pretty
average angel team and Carlos Redon is being hit around.
Wasn't the worst game of all time, but it wasn't
an It wasn't a game that lived up to the
money he's making. He was the big free agent pickoff
and he's just making his third start of the year.
(11:13):
Here we are in almost late July. Now, and that's
just his third start of the year, getting twenty seven
million large on a six year contract. This guy's got
another five years as a Yankee overall one hundred and
sixty two million dollars.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
And he's blowing a kiss. And that's now. I will
point out, as.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
A person who studies the dynamic between the athlete and
the curmudgeon fan who likes to throw raspberries at players,
blowing a kiss is actually much more personal than a
middle finger. Like the bird is the word if you're
(11:56):
trying to give an entire section an active disrespect, if
you want to if there's like an entire section that's
heckling you over to the riot, then you give the
bird in kind of a rotating fashion, the air kiss
for one Drabbroni. It's only for one Drabbroni who's really
(12:18):
annoying you. Now, this is going to follow him around like.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Body odor, like stank. For a couple of reasons.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
One it happened in Anaheim, not in the Big Apple Hello.
And two it's a hickey, is what it is. It
is a very public sign to let other hecklers know that, hey,
this guy's a mister softy. See the Hickey. He's a
(12:49):
softie and it's gonna be a different animal in the
Bronx and the Bronx Zoo as they called it back
in the old day is not quite as its rambunctious
as it used to be, because in the old days,
you could actually afford to go to a Yankee game
if you were a degenerate. Now it's pretty much just
Wall Street people and the very rich that can afford
to go to Yankee games. The common person has been
(13:11):
priced out for the most part of regularly going to
Yankee games. At this time. It is the Ben Mahlor Show.

Speaker 1 (15:03):
Live show on the Man.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
You can hear all of this back with fewer interruptions,
shall we say, if you were interuptions? Shane from des
Moines writes and says a plus plus on the Mallard monologue,
IOWA say, I'm playing the music. The Russian good luck
story comes from the Open, or as we say, the
British Open, where a certain golfer at the Open Championship
(15:30):
named Victor Hovelan.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Did you see what happened to Victor Hoveln?
Speaker 2 (15:33):
There? No, So he's out there on the fifteenth hole
at St. Andrews, the great Victor Hoveln not Russian by
the way, but he's out there doing his thing. He
lines up for his second shot at the Open Championship.
He's there doing his thing, and all of a sudden, like,
(15:54):
wait a minute, what is on my arm? What have
I been shot?
Speaker 6 (15:58):
No?
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Some bird, not a big bird, just a regular sized
bird came flying over and said.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
It's poopy time.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
The bird said it's poopy time, and yeah, drop the
drop the dose right on top of the golfer's arm,
right there as he was lining up. Now the reason
I say Russian good luck, it is interesting to note
that in Russia. Did you know it is considered good
luck to have a bird.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
To its business?
Speaker 6 (16:36):
What?
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (16:37):
And be struck by a bird in that in that
wild I don't know.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
I guess they say, because it's very rare for that
to happen and all.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
Uh, but has it ever happened to you? Been?
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Have I been hit by uh bird? Yes, it actually
has happened. Has it happened to you? Have you had
that happen to you?
Speaker 4 (16:58):
Uh? No, I did have a bird, uh come down
and steal some of my hair, I assume to make
I assume to make like a nest.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
That's odd.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Yeah, I remember we were at Sea World when I
was a kid in San Diego and my my mom
got just a full bombing run and she was so pissed.
I still remember said she was. It was like the worst.
But they it's a superstition in Russia that if you
get hit, because they think you're lucky because it's a rarity.
(17:36):
But I would argue that if you sit under a
tree it's not that rare to get hit by by bird.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
Poop eddie, Yes, sim Uh so the bird pulled the
hair out of your head.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
Yeah, a little bit, not like a big chunk or anything,
just and it was it was at Disneyland, and uh
I kind of sat back and and watched and the
bird did this to several people.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Was this a crow?
Speaker 4 (18:02):
No, No, it was a small.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Bird, because crows remember people's faces.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Is that right? I don't know, That's what the Internet
told me.
Speaker 4 (18:10):
So, like I said, I'm I'm pretty sure this bird
was using human hair for his its nest. I can't
imagine why else, and was basically was just doing it
for fun. But uh yeah, he was like dive volmbing
people and grabbing a little bit of their hair.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Did it? Chir was doing it? No?
Speaker 4 (18:26):
There was no warning.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
And how did you react to this? Were you traumatized?
Speaker 4 (18:30):
I was, well no, I just thought what the hell
was that?
Speaker 3 (18:33):
Was it painful?
Speaker 5 (18:34):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (18:34):
No, not really? But I mean it got my attention. Now, Sam,
if you had walked by and he saw that luscious
rug that you've got, I mean, I gotta imagine that
that bird be like jackpot.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
Would just make a nest in my hand.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
That's true.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Good, Yeah, I heard right there. Yeah, I would not leave.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
You'll see, Ben, You'll see like you'll see seagulls and
stuff will come down the like the swipeers French fry
in your hand.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Oh well yeah, on the on the weekend, some as
I go to the beach and yeah, it's you know,
don't feed the seagulls. Don't feed, yeah, because they'll just
and there. They figured out how to get into chip
bags and other things. I've watched people have left their
bags of food out on the on the beach, and
these seagulls are so smart. They figured that they team
up like one one's the go guy, one holds the bag,
(19:20):
and then the other ones start pecking at the bag
to open the chips. It's fascinating they've evolved over the
years to figure out how to open chip bags.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Yeah, let's go to the phones.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Paul in Rhode Island, Red Breast. Paul in Rhode Island.

Speaker 1 (21:44):
It's very impressive and really what you are, Paul. Let
me tell you you are flummoxed.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
That's what you are, Paul, your.
Speaker 7 (21:50):
Flum You know, when I'm done with eight hours of work,
I'm in my home. I do what I can. The
bills a page, the bridges full, the basic bills are paid.
Everybody else waists for it. But I have to say,
Ben Meller, you pushed on something that I I did
not like. And if if you wonder, I would like
(22:13):
to say something.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
UH.
Speaker 7 (22:15):
As far as is the Tommy trade, the agent market
is going to take over this San Francisco. UH is
going to take over Tommy. That's my basic.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Uh, get that out, Coupe Paul and Rhode Island is reporting.
According to his source, Red Breast show, Tomi is heading
to the Giants.
Speaker 7 (22:38):
Yes, because they're loaded. Toan Diego's loaded, I think the
dog Dodgers are loaded, speaking of loaded, but I also
like to say one thing about the US men.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Oppressive. You're still going, you don't stop, no energizer, Bunny,
just cant going.
Speaker 7 (23:00):
I'm in my home.
Speaker 6 (23:02):
I know.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
All your bills are paid, the refrigerators.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Full, I know.
Speaker 7 (23:08):
Okay, Can I just say one more thing. I'm proud
of the US and the women's national team, but I
just think that I got cheated when they lost the
Panama and it's just.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
The man that lost the Panama.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
The man yes win for the Panama, actually drowned.
Speaker 7 (23:27):
Just bring those guys from England. Just bring those guys
from England.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Yeah, that would change up the World Cup if you
just allow to play for the USA. All right, I
gotta go, Paul, I gotta go. Thank you. I know
one more thing. It's always one more.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Never, it is never ever. Yes, just send it to
the landfill.

commercial break, just a quick look in with Eddie and
right back to us. Let's get over to Eddie though
and get you caught up and everything going on in
the old overnight.
Speaker 4 (24:03):
Thank you, Ben and uh Iowa. Sam is upset with
me because the Women's World Cup scores, He says, it
will only take five seconds.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Yes, I was trying to explain to Iowa Sam that
it's broadcasting, not narrow casting, and he didn't want to hear.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
It's the world I tried.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
Yeah, nobody cares about I tried to tell Iowa Sam,
despite the world you're in, just realists. We live in
the broadcast world where we you know, we get reaction
from people, get feedback. No one gives a crap about this.
But but Edie, if you want to pacify Iowa Sam,
you can do that. If you I could get the
score out if you want.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Well, we've wasted more time just talking about you being upset.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
You know we're in the second minute.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Clark is not playing for the Women's World. The great
happened to Iowa since who?

Speaker 4 (25:57):
I always love these stories, and I don't really know why.
I suppose there's a reason. But the Colonial Athletic Association.
You ever heard of that? I think every once in
a while we hear about these conferences. Come, you know,
NCAA tournament.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
There's some random team you've never heard of that uns
a game, and.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
We've probably heard of the Colonial Athletic Association. I think
maybe is that George Madison or George Mason, George Madison.
I think George Mason might be in there anyway.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
Steve Mason, I think, oh, is he still to do?
I don't know what he used to work here?
Speaker 4 (26:25):
He did used to work here? Anyway, they're changing their name.
I guess they decided, you know that Colonial Athletic Association
is not sexy enough for us. We need to spice
things up, and they have so Goodbye Colonial Athletic Association.
Hello Coastal Athletic Association.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Huh, well, I'm.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Offended by that.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
I'll tell you why, because many people have died on
the coast and that's really mocking people that have gone
to the coast and died.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
So that yet, but aren't they getting rid of the
word colonial?
Speaker 4 (26:57):
Is that why? Really? Yes?
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Yes, I'm told that's why they wanted to distance themselves
from colonialism.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
Oh my god, yes, Gat, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
I have taken a break.
Speaker 4 (27:14):
I should have known that. Yes, I'm wrong, it's not.
George Mason's not a part of the soon to be
gone colonial You've got Hofstrev Campbell, carexelhad.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
Didn't George Washington change?
Speaker 6 (27:27):
Was it?
Speaker 2 (27:27):
George Washington's mascot? Was the Were they the Colonials or
something like that. They changed them. They changed the name
of it. I think it was George Washington. We talked
about it on the show.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
But yeah, I was told that's why they changed the
name of the.
Speaker 4 (27:41):
Con William and Mary's and the Colonial the Elon Phoenix,
not Ms Stony Brook Sea Wolves. I'm guessing they were
not the Sea Wolves at one time. I think they
changed that from something else.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
And it just popped into my head.
Speaker 4 (27:54):
This is much more entertained by the way Jimmy univers.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
I agree with you, Eddie. Yeah, and the story that
I just I had forgotten this and it just popped
in my head. With all that bird talk a bird,
I have a bird story that I had forgotten, which
is what my favorite bird story involving athletes Larry Bird.
Speaker 4 (28:11):
What's that Larry Bird story?

My favorite bird story happened a few years back in
I think it was in Minnesota. The Mariners were playing
(28:36):
the Twins. Do you remember what happened to James Paxton?
Do you remember the Mariner?
Speaker 1 (28:42):
He was, yeah, a.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Bold eagle, thought he was a tree and landed. Mistook
him for some kind of landed on the dude.
Speaker 4 (28:52):
And he handled it like a chip.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Yeah, a bold efany.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
Game face on. He's just like, yeah, whatever, land on
my I don't.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
Give you the in the United States a sign from God.
Speaker 4 (29:04):
By the way, George Washington is still the colonials?
Speaker 2 (29:07):
Are they?
Speaker 3 (29:08):
I thought they?
Speaker 1 (29:08):
I thought they changed.
Speaker 4 (29:10):
According to the Internet.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
George Washington g w Yeah, George Washington University. Yes, yeah, yeah, okay,
I thought they had changed that they changed their mask.
Speaker 4 (29:18):
I guess not.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Apparently not. I guess I was wrong with that.
Speaker 4 (29:20):
But hold on, hold on, we have a developing story here.
George Washington adopts a new moniker.
Speaker 5 (29:27):
Ah.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
I was not wrong in my mind. I'm not losing
my mind.
Speaker 4 (29:31):
Are this happened recently?
Speaker 3 (29:33):
So?
Speaker 4 (29:33):
Miss they have replaced colonials with they are now commanders
the revolutionaries.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
The revolutionaries. Isn't that bad too?
Speaker 3 (29:44):
Yes, that's actually kind of badass.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
The Revolutionary War.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
Yeah, how about the George Revisionists. How about that? How
about they go? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (29:57):
Uh, the revolutionaries one out over, the Ambassadors, the Sentinels,
and my favorite, the blue fog. I like that.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
Blue fog would have been cool.
Speaker 4 (30:08):
The blue fog.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
The blue fog descends on top of you, like they went.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
Through some fog.
Speaker 4 (30:16):
I don't know. I've never seen the blue fog before.
I don't think FOG's kind of cool.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
You ever seen a ball the eagle in the in
the wild? No, I have not, I have. I actually
saw one. I did too. I saw one. I think
it was in North Carolina?
Speaker 7 (30:28):
Was there?
Speaker 2 (30:29):
Was it last year?
Speaker 4 (30:30):
Where did they? I mean, there's a When I think
of a bald eagle, I think of like a last year.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
It was either Virginia or North Carolina, one of those two.
I saw all over Iowa. They made a great comeback
forty years.
Speaker 4 (30:41):
That's surprising. I don't know why, but that surprises me.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
We don't use D d T anymore, so we never
see him out here though there's no calum I've never
seen a ball eagle even out here in.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
Calif They like bodies of water, like rivers and stuff,
so they can fish.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Oh well, Minnesota. There should be tons of them. Oh yeah, Minnesota.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
They're all over the Midwest because they don't have they
don't There was the d d T that was bad
room Ei their egg shells dinner, a.

Speaker 7 (33:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:00):

don't like the smell of it. It's an odd thing,
the cabbage. Yeah, you know, what they need to get.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
Here's a here's a candy bar.
Speaker 2 (33:08):

How about that third degree?
Speaker 2 (37:02):
This is one gets grilled coolo.
Speaker 6 (37:06):
According to a New York sports radio host, Robert Salas
said that he feels quote no pressure heading into this
upcoming season. Then what kind of results do the Jets
need to have for Sala to not end up on
a hot seat?
Speaker 1 (37:16):
Well, I don't believe he has no pressure.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
He's human.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
That's a big job for him. That's a dream job,
coaching in New York, where.
Speaker 2 (37:24):
His family's from, where he's from. But you know, he's
read so many motivational books. He thinks he's like the
Dali Lama. Though now and he's studied the art of happiness.
But the Jets have to win eleven plus games and
or make the playoffs. Now, I heard from people that
the Jets think that Rogers is gonna play three more years.
I don't think he's gonna play three more years. But
if the Jets don't make the playoffs, don't win eleven
(37:46):
or so games, then Robert sala is on thin ice.
Speaker 6 (37:50):
Next, there were many around the league that expected the
Sacramento Kings to make a big splash this offseason, but
instead they focused on retaining their core. GM Moni McNair
said an inner that bringing the bulk of the team
back was an appealing option.
Speaker 3 (38:03):
Ben, do you think they made the right move?
Speaker 2 (38:05):
No, I go by what Phil Jackson, Bill Parcells, guys
like that always would say, you've got to change a
certain percentage of the roster every year to avoid complacency.
And it's good to keep the core, but you got
to change the roster. I don't think they changed it enough.
Speaker 6 (38:18):
Next, Steve Spurrier had a bit of trash talk for
Kirby Smart this week. There was a video going around
a Smart at SEC Media Days, correcting reporter to call
it the Georgia Florida game. Spurrier said, until Smart wins
eleven out of twelve of the Florida Georgia Game, then
we all know what it's really called.
Speaker 3 (38:34):
Ben, what do you call the rivalry?
Speaker 2 (38:35):
I call it the world's largest outdoor cocktail party.
Speaker 1 (38:38):
That's what I call it. I love Steve Spurar. This
guy's amazing.
Speaker 2 (38:42):
He had the greatest line ever about that Auburn Library fire.
It was hilarious back in the day. But that's it.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
I love trades.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Well, actually I like talking about what could happen when
trades happen. I kind of get bored, But we're gonna
talk about what's been.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Going on here.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
If you've been paying attention in depth team covers of
the August first trading post is we are just days away,
a little over a week from the music stopping and
that's it. Only a few shopping days left. And there
is some news out of Saint Louis. It's about the
only way we can talk about that team. They suck.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
But if you have not heard, maybe you missed it.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
We are told that the Saint Louis baseball team plans
to be sellers.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
They're going to trade.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Everybody, well not quite everybody, but the Cardinals are not
willing to trade Nolan Aernato. He is not available third baseman.
Saint Louis says, no, no, no. The only way they
would be willing to unload their gold glove winning third basemen.
Is if Aeronato says I want out of here, I
(02:51):
don't want to be here. And at this point, based
on what's been bouncing around, that is not likely to happen.
And it would appear that aeronauto will remain in Missouri
for the rest of the baseball season and for the
foreseeable future. So let us discuss the question here. Should
the Cardinals be shopping Nolan Aeronauta. Not that they are,
(03:14):
but should they? So I am nodding my head, Yes,
I am nodding my head.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
On this. I've got spaghetti Westerns, psycho analyzing, and Hickey
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are gonna make some toasted ravioli. I had not
had toasted ravioli up until a few years ago. That's
the local delicacy in Saint Louis and it is effing amazing.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
I am.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
I love my toasted raviol let me tell you that
right now. All right, so we'll put all these things together.
We'll have some toasted raviolis. Now number.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
The question should the Cardinals be shopping Nolan Aeronado. The
answer is yes.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
We are fans of Aeronauto. He's an uber productive with Colorado.
He's continued to be productive in Saint Louis. The Cardinals
would not get fair market in return, but they should
still do it right, They should still trade them. They
just get a couple of scratcher tickets and prospects, and
(04:18):
prospects are suspects until approven. Otherwise most of them don't
pan out the reason they should do it. I'm gonna
use a line from those old spaghetti westerns in Hollywood.
Spaghetti westerns. Well, head them off at the past. We're
gonna head them off at the battle. Cut them off
at the past. Right from the spaghetti westerns. Here's why
Eronato is thirty two. Now thirty two, as I point out,
(04:40):
not all right, thirty in life, not old. Well, you're
in good shape.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
Thirty two.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Probably got a little money. He went to school. Maybe
you didn't. You've been working, you saved the little money.
Hopefully you're doing pretty good. Line, body's not falling apart.
You're in good shape. Thirty two. Great age, but in sports, eh,
not that great. It's near the end of your athletic prime.
Usually it ends at thirty two. And I will point
out that based on the raw numbers, Aeronato is showing
(05:08):
some signs of decline. He is known as a defensive
stalwart eleven time Gold Glove winner, but this season his
run saved total stat that the Geeks came up with
is minus five. That ain't good.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
That's a red flag plus. Aeronauto is locked up for.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Big money, big money, big money to twenty twenty seven.
And as we like to tell you, do not let
a falling star fall on you. The Redbirds as a franchise,
I don't think I'm being too dramatic here. They are
in Nowheresville. They're not the worst team in baseball. They're
not the best team in baseball. They're just kind of there,
(05:48):
and they're in a crap division. So he say, well,
that gives you hope. You can just make a couple
of moves and end up back in the playoff race
because you're in location, location, location, the National League Central.
But the Cardinal way right now is the wrong way
these days. All right now, Page two, let's pivot to
San Diego, America's final city. Now, following another loss to Toronto,
(06:14):
the Pod squad continues to be teetering on the brink
of falling into the abyss. Padres are six and a
half games back in the wild card race. They are
ten back, ten games back of the big blue wrecking crew,
the Dodgers. So here's the conundrum to sell or not
(06:34):
to sell. We've talked about this earlier in the week.
There's a new development here before the trade deadline.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Blake Snell.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
If you've been listening to the show for a long time,
you know that Blake Snell is one of the most
talked about baseball players on our show. And we can
go back to twenty twenty and we did many a
mally monologue on Blake Snell. He is a pitcher, used
to be with Tampa Bay's and San Diego toiling away
there and he is the subject of a lot of noise.
(07:02):
There's a murmur around Blake Snell that he's likely to
be traded. He's on the trading block. Well, spoiler alert,
he does not want to be moved from Pacific Beach.
He would don't want to leave San Diego. He wants
to be able to get the ocean side when he
wants and all that. So he wants to say, quote,
(07:23):
I'd rather just stay here and see what happens, Blake
Snell barking at reporters in Toronto, I'd rather finish this
year here, meaning San Diego, and see what happens. And
then he added on an addendum saying that he believes
the Padres will be buying more players. He says, that's
what it feels like. Of course, why would you not
add more players? The team's playing so well, Oh wait
(07:45):
a minute, they're under five hundred. So why wouldn't Blake
Snell want a trade to a contender? Why wouldn't you.
It's a very odd juxtaposition. Here's why Snell is thirty
years old. He is in the walk year, which means
he's going to be an unrestricted free agent and trying
to get paid, trying to sucker the Red Sox or
(08:06):
the Yankees the Giants to pay him a ton of money.
And yet he says he wants to stay in San Diego.
So let me put on my medical hat. Well, I'm
not really a medical psychologist. Hat I'm gonna psycho analyze
Blake Snell. So psycho analyzing Snell aloofness, apathy, those are
(08:27):
the the first thoughts I have. He's not worried about
the Pennant race. He's indifferent. That's a form of apathy.
He's indifferent. He's content in San Diego and being traded
is a nuisance. It's an inconvenience. It disrupts your mojo.
I'm not playing unless I get mine, Bro and Bro,
(08:49):
I'm risking my life. Blake Snell is content riding out
the season on a sub five hundred pot team rather
than get the October bumpety Bump as a rental. And
there is a direct correlation. It has been proven to
(09:11):
postseason success and gold Bouyon in free agency. All right,
final point, Let's go over to the New York Yankees.
They had the day off. I believe they're heading back
to the Bronx, I think, but they continue to feed
the content kitty. The Yankees. Oh man, they're very good.
(09:31):
Big content week baseball wise from the Yankees. Some fallout
from something that happened the other day in Anaheim. Starter
Carlos Redon got toasted by the Angels lineup and then
while he was walking off the mound, did you.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
See what he did? You didn't see what he did?
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Maybe you missed it. So the Yankee pitcher, their big
free agent pick up, Carlos Redon, while walking off the mound,
blew a kiss to a Heckler at the Big A. Now,
when asked about this, why would you do that? This
PDA situation, and he said it was the best thing
(10:14):
he could think to do at that time, other than
simply ignoring the person upset with him. So let's talk
about this now, how would you grade? How would you
grade Yankee pitcher Carlos Redon blowing a kiss to an
angry pinstripe Heckler. Malard report card time, the Malor report card?
(10:35):
I give this. I'm gonna give it a B plus
is what I'm gonna give it. Why it is hilarious.
That is why you gotta see the video. Now, I
have no skin in the game on this. The Yankees are.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Being bludgeoned on a regular basis.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Lately. They got swept in the OC by a pretty
average angel team and Carlos Redon is being hit around.
Wasn't the worst game of all time, but it wasn't
an It wasn't a game that lived up to the
money he's making. He was the big free agent pickoff
and he's just making his third start of the year.
(11:13):
Here we are in almost late July. Now, and that's
just his third start of the year, getting twenty seven
million large on a six year contract. This guy's got
another five years as a Yankee overall one hundred and
sixty two million dollars.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
And he's blowing a kiss. And that's now. I will
point out, as.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
A person who studies the dynamic between the athlete and
the curmudgeon fan who likes to throw raspberries at players,
blowing a kiss is actually much more personal than a
middle finger. Like the bird is the word if you're
(11:56):
trying to give an entire section an active disrespect, if
you want to if there's like an entire section that's
heckling you over to the riot, then you give the
bird in kind of a rotating fashion, the air kiss
for one Drabbroni. It's only for one Drabbroni who's really
(12:18):
annoying you. Now, this is going to follow him around like.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Body odor, like stank. For a couple of reasons.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
One it happened in Anaheim, not in the Big Apple Hello.
And two it's a hickey, is what it is. It
is a very public sign to let other hecklers know that, hey,
this guy's a mister softy. See the Hickey. He's a
(12:49):
softie and it's gonna be a different animal in the
Bronx and the Bronx Zoo as they called it back
in the old day is not quite as its rambunctious
as it used to be, because in the old days,
you could actually afford to go to a Yankee game
if you were a degenerate. Now it's pretty much just
Wall Street people and the very rich that can afford
to go to Yankee games. The common person has been
(13:11):
priced out for the most part of regularly going to
Yankee games. At this time. It is the Ben Mahlor Show.

Speaker 1 (15:03):
Live show on the Man.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
You can hear all of this back with fewer interruptions,
shall we say, if you were interuptions? Shane from des
Moines writes and says a plus plus on the Mallard monologue,
IOWA say, I'm playing the music. The Russian good luck
story comes from the Open, or as we say, the
British Open, where a certain golfer at the Open Championship
(15:30):
named Victor Hovelan.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Did you see what happened to Victor Hoveln?
Speaker 2 (15:33):
There? No, So he's out there on the fifteenth hole
at St. Andrews, the great Victor Hoveln not Russian by
the way, but he's out there doing his thing. He
lines up for his second shot at the Open Championship.
He's there doing his thing, and all of a sudden, like,
(15:54):
wait a minute, what is on my arm? What have
I been shot?
Speaker 6 (15:58):
No?
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Some bird, not a big bird, just a regular sized
bird came flying over and said.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
It's poopy time.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
The bird said it's poopy time, and yeah, drop the
drop the dose right on top of the golfer's arm,
right there as he was lining up. Now the reason
I say Russian good luck, it is interesting to note
that in Russia. Did you know it is considered good
luck to have a bird.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
To its business?
Speaker 6 (16:36):
What?
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (16:37):
And be struck by a bird in that in that
wild I don't know.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
I guess they say, because it's very rare for that
to happen and all.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
Uh, but has it ever happened to you? Been?
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Have I been hit by uh bird? Yes, it actually
has happened. Has it happened to you? Have you had
that happen to you?
Speaker 4 (16:58):
Uh? No, I did have a bird, uh come down
and steal some of my hair, I assume to make
I assume to make like a nest.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
That's odd.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Yeah, I remember we were at Sea World when I
was a kid in San Diego and my my mom
got just a full bombing run and she was so pissed.
I still remember said she was. It was like the worst.
But they it's a superstition in Russia that if you
get hit, because they think you're lucky because it's a rarity.
(17:36):
But I would argue that if you sit under a
tree it's not that rare to get hit by by bird.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
Poop eddie, Yes, sim Uh so the bird pulled the
hair out of your head.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
Yeah, a little bit, not like a big chunk or anything,
just and it was it was at Disneyland, and uh
I kind of sat back and and watched and the
bird did this to several people.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Was this a crow?
Speaker 4 (18:02):
No, No, it was a small.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Bird, because crows remember people's faces.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Is that right? I don't know, That's what the Internet
told me.
Speaker 4 (18:10):
So, like I said, I'm I'm pretty sure this bird
was using human hair for his its nest. I can't
imagine why else, and was basically was just doing it
for fun. But uh yeah, he was like dive volmbing
people and grabbing a little bit of their hair.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Did it? Chir was doing it? No?
Speaker 4 (18:26):
There was no warning.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
And how did you react to this? Were you traumatized?
Speaker 4 (18:30):
I was, well no, I just thought what the hell
was that?
Speaker 3 (18:33):
Was it painful?
Speaker 5 (18:34):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (18:34):
No, not really? But I mean it got my attention. Now, Sam,
if you had walked by and he saw that luscious
rug that you've got, I mean, I gotta imagine that
that bird be like jackpot.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
Would just make a nest in my hand.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
That's true.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Good, Yeah, I heard right there. Yeah, I would not leave.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
You'll see, Ben, You'll see like you'll see seagulls and
stuff will come down the like the swipeers French fry
in your hand.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Oh well yeah, on the on the weekend, some as
I go to the beach and yeah, it's you know,
don't feed the seagulls. Don't feed, yeah, because they'll just
and there. They figured out how to get into chip
bags and other things. I've watched people have left their
bags of food out on the on the beach, and
these seagulls are so smart. They figured that they team
up like one one's the go guy, one holds the bag,
(19:20):
and then the other ones start pecking at the bag
to open the chips. It's fascinating they've evolved over the
years to figure out how to open chip bags.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Yeah, let's go to the phones.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Paul in Rhode Island, Red Breast. Paul in Rhode Island.
He's gonna retire soon, he says he's gonna call the

like once he retires.

Speaker 4 (20:48):

Speaker 5 (21:23):

Speaker 7 (21:26):
I have to say, I am not snooking yet, but
I sound like it.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Yes, if you do, you have the ability, you're you

Speaker 2 (21:40):
You were able to make it seem like you're always

Speaker 1 (21:44):
It's very impressive and really what you are, Paul. Let
me tell you you are flummoxed.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
That's what you are, Paul, your.
Speaker 7 (21:50):
Flum You know, when I'm done with eight hours of work,
I'm in my home. I do what I can. The
bills a page, the bridges full, the basic bills are paid.
Everybody else waists for it. But I have to say,
Ben Meller, you pushed on something that I I did
not like. And if if you wonder, I would like
(22:13):
to say something.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
UH.
Speaker 7 (22:15):
As far as is the Tommy trade, the agent market
is going to take over this San Francisco. UH is
going to take over Tommy. That's my basic.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Uh, get that out, Coupe Paul and Rhode Island is reporting.
According to his source, Red Breast show, Tomi is heading
to the Giants.
Speaker 7 (22:38):
Yes, because they're loaded. Toan Diego's loaded, I think the
dog Dodgers are loaded, speaking of loaded, but I also
like to say one thing about the US men.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Oppressive. You're still going, you don't stop, no energizer, Bunny,
just cant going.
Speaker 7 (23:00):
I'm in my home.
Speaker 6 (23:02):

Speaker 1 (23:04):
All your bills are paid, the refrigerators.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Full, I know.
Speaker 7 (23:08):
Okay, Can I just say one more thing. I'm proud
of the US and the women's national team, but I
just think that I got cheated when they lost the
Panama and it's just.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
The man that lost the Panama.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
The man yes win for the Panama, actually drowned.
Speaker 7 (23:27):
Just bring those guys from England. Just bring those guys
from England.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Yeah, that would change up the World Cup if you
just allow to play for the USA. All right, I
gotta go, Paul, I gotta go. Thank you. I know
one more thing. It's always one more.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Never, it is never ever. Yes, just send it to
the landfill.

commercial break, just a quick look in with Eddie and
right back to us. Let's get over to Eddie though
and get you caught up and everything going on in
the old overnight.
Speaker 4 (24:03):
Thank you, Ben and uh Iowa. Sam is upset with
me because the Women's World Cup scores, He says, it
will only take five seconds.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Yes, I was trying to explain to Iowa Sam that
it's broadcasting, not narrow casting, and he didn't want to hear.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
It's the world I tried.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
Yeah, nobody cares about I tried to tell Iowa Sam,
despite the world you're in, just realists. We live in
the broadcast world where we you know, we get reaction
from people, get feedback. No one gives a crap about this.
But but Edie, if you want to pacify Iowa Sam,
you can do that. If you I could get the
score out if you want.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Well, we've wasted more time just talking about you being upset.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
You know we're in the second minute.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Clark is not playing for the Women's World. The great
happened to Iowa since who?
Speaker 3 (24:47):
Uh Nile Kiddick, Luca Garza, Luca Garza, Sorry, Eddie relent.
Speaker 4 (24:54):
Uh when the US players will give that score? But
I don't think they're playing.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
When we're playing.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
Tomorrow at nine eastern six Pacific.

Hey, okay, be sure to catch live editions of the
ben Meller Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 2 (25:16):

Speaker 8 (25:17):
It's me three time pro bowler LeVar Arrington and I
couldn't be more excited to announce a podcast called up

Speaker 2 (25:24):

Speaker 7 (25:25):
You ask?
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Along with my fellow pro bowler TJ.
Speaker 8 (25:28):
Huschman Zada and Super Bowl champion Yup, that's right, Plexico Burrus.

Burrs on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you
get your podcast from.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
I always love these stories, and I don't really know why.
I suppose there's a reason. But the Colonial Athletic Association.
You ever heard of that? I think every once in
a while we hear about these conferences. Come, you know,
NCAA tournament.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
There's some random team you've never heard of that uns
a game, and.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
We've probably heard of the Colonial Athletic Association. I think
maybe is that George Madison or George Mason, George Madison.
I think George Mason might be in there anyway.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
Steve Mason, I think, oh, is he still to do?
I don't know what he used to work here?
Speaker 4 (26:25):
He did used to work here? Anyway, they're changing their name.
I guess they decided, you know that Colonial Athletic Association
is not sexy enough for us. We need to spice
things up, and they have so Goodbye Colonial Athletic Association.
Hello Coastal Athletic Association.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Huh, well, I'm.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Offended by that.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
I'll tell you why, because many people have died on
the coast and that's really mocking people that have gone
to the coast and died.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
So that yet, but aren't they getting rid of the
word colonial?
Speaker 4 (26:57):
Is that why? Really? Yes?
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Yes, I'm told that's why they wanted to distance themselves
from colonialism.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
Oh my god, yes, Gat, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
I have taken a break.
Speaker 4 (27:14):
I should have known that. Yes, I'm wrong, it's not.
George Mason's not a part of the soon to be
gone colonial You've got Hofstrev Campbell, carexelhad.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
Didn't George Washington change?
Speaker 6 (27:27):
Was it?
Speaker 2 (27:27):
George Washington's mascot? Was the Were they the Colonials or
something like that. They changed them. They changed the name
of it. I think it was George Washington. We talked
about it on the show.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
But yeah, I was told that's why they changed the
name of the.
Speaker 4 (27:41):
Con William and Mary's and the Colonial the Elon Phoenix,
not Ms Stony Brook Sea Wolves. I'm guessing they were
not the Sea Wolves at one time. I think they
changed that from something else.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
And it just popped into my head.
Speaker 4 (27:54):
This is much more entertained by the way Jimmy univers.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
I agree with you, Eddie. Yeah, and the story that
I just I had forgotten this and it just popped
in my head. With all that bird talk a bird,
I have a bird story that I had forgotten, which
is what my favorite bird story involving athletes Larry Bird.

My favorite bird story happened a few years back in
I think it was in Minnesota. The Mariners were playing
(28:36):
the Twins. Do you remember what happened to James Paxton?
Do you remember the Mariner?
Speaker 1 (28:42):
He was, yeah, a.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Bold eagle, thought he was a tree and landed. Mistook
him for some kind of landed on the dude.
Speaker 4 (28:52):
And he handled it like a chip.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Yeah, a bold efany.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
Game face on. He's just like, yeah, whatever, land on
my I don't.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
Give you the in the United States a sign from God.
Speaker 4 (29:04):
By the way, George Washington is still the colonials?
Speaker 2 (29:07):
Are they?
Speaker 3 (29:08):
I thought they?
Speaker 1 (29:08):
I thought they changed.
Speaker 4 (29:10):
According to the Internet.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
George Washington g w Yeah, George Washington University. Yes, yeah, yeah, okay,
I thought they had changed that they changed their mask.
Speaker 4 (29:18):
I guess not.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Apparently not. I guess I was wrong with that.
Speaker 4 (29:20):
But hold on, hold on, we have a developing story here.
George Washington adopts a new moniker.
Speaker 5 (29:27):
Ah.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
I was not wrong in my mind. I'm not losing
my mind.
Speaker 4 (29:31):
Are this happened recently?
Speaker 3 (29:33):
So?
Speaker 4 (29:33):
Miss they have replaced colonials with they are now commanders
the revolutionaries.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
The revolutionaries. Isn't that bad too?
Speaker 3 (29:44):
Yes, that's actually kind of badass.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
The Revolutionary War.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
Yeah, how about the George Revisionists. How about that? How
about they go? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (29:57):
Uh, the revolutionaries one out over, the Ambassadors, the Sentinels,
and my favorite, the blue fog. I like that.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
Blue fog would have been cool.
Speaker 4 (30:08):
The blue fog.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
The blue fog descends on top of you, like they went.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
Through some fog.
Speaker 4 (30:16):
I don't know. I've never seen the blue fog before.
I don't think FOG's kind of cool.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
You ever seen a ball the eagle in the in
the wild? No, I have not, I have. I actually
saw one. I did too. I saw one. I think
it was in North Carolina?
Speaker 7 (30:28):
Was there?
Speaker 2 (30:29):
Was it last year?
Speaker 4 (30:30):
Where did they? I mean, there's a When I think
of a bald eagle, I think of like a last year.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
It was either Virginia or North Carolina, one of those two.
I saw all over Iowa. They made a great comeback
forty years.
Speaker 4 (30:41):
That's surprising. I don't know why, but that surprises me.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
We don't use D d T anymore, so we never
see him out here though there's no calum I've never
seen a ball eagle even out here in.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
Calif They like bodies of water, like rivers and stuff,
so they can fish.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Oh well, Minnesota. There should be tons of them. Oh yeah, Minnesota.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
They're all over the Midwest because they don't have they
don't There was the d d T that was bad
room Ei their egg shells dinner, a.

According to a New York sports radio host, Robert Salas
said that he feels quote no pressure heading into this
upcoming season. Then what kind of results do the Jets
need to have for Sala to not end up on
a hot seat?
Speaker 1 (37:16):
Well, I don't believe he has no pressure.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
He's human.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
That's a big job for him. That's a dream job,
coaching in New York, where.
Speaker 2 (37:24):
His family's from, where he's from. But you know, he's
read so many motivational books. He thinks he's like the
Dali Lama. Though now and he's studied the art of happiness.
But the Jets have to win eleven plus games and
or make the playoffs. Now, I heard from people that
the Jets think that Rogers is gonna play three more years.
I don't think he's gonna play three more years. But
if the Jets don't make the playoffs, don't win eleven
(37:46):
or so games, then Robert sala is on thin ice.
Speaker 6 (37:50):
Next, there were many around the league that expected the
Sacramento Kings to make a big splash this offseason, but
instead they focused on retaining their core. GM Moni McNair
said an inner that bringing the bulk of the team
back was an appealing option.
Speaker 3 (38:03):
Ben, do you think they made the right move?
Speaker 2 (38:05):
No, I go by what Phil Jackson, Bill Parcells, guys
like that always would say, you've got to change a
certain percentage of the roster every year to avoid complacency.
And it's good to keep the core, but you got
to change the roster. I don't think they changed it enough.
Speaker 6 (38:18):
Next, Steve Spurrier had a bit of trash talk for
Kirby Smart this week. There was a video going around
a Smart at SEC Media Days, correcting reporter to call
it the Georgia Florida game. Spurrier said, until Smart wins
eleven out of twelve of the Florida Georgia Game, then
we all know what it's really called.
Speaker 3 (38:34):
Ben, what do you call the rivalry?
Speaker 2 (38:35):
I call it the world's largest outdoor cocktail party.
Speaker 1 (38:38):
That's what I call it. I love Steve Spurar. This
guy's amazing.
Speaker 2 (38:42):
He had the greatest line ever about that Auburn Library fire.
It was hilarious back in the day. But that's it.
