Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our name, perfall our four and
Zeke Elly hasn't even played a game yet with the Patriots,
and there are some saying that he is bringing tention
to the Patriots locker room? Is that true? Also? Would
Odell Beckham have been a two hundred million dollar man
(00:23):
if he hadn't gotten hurt? And what does go to baseball?
What does Angel Hernandez do now after his legal brew
haha has come to an end against Major League Baseball.
We'll talk about all of that and much more right now,
it is our number four. Have a wonderful day, and
here it is our number four. Trouble in Paradise? Is
(00:45):
it real or not? Wel gome and the beginning of
another hour of the Ben Malors Show. We are in
the a everywhere as we chirp, it's baked into the
DNA coast to coast, boarded, the border and beyond on
(01:06):
the vast and ponderously powerful microphones of fs are ammanating
live from the craft as crafty as a fox, as
we are broadcasting live from the tyrack dot com studios.
Tyrack dot Com will help you get there in unmatched selection,
fast free shipping, free road hazard protection and over ten
(01:28):
thousand recommended installers. Tire rack dot com the way that
tire buying should be. And we're back at it again
this hour lead coming from Foxborough. It's where the New
England Patriots a pretty mediocre team, but they continue to
feed the content kitty and we thank them for that.
Even though they don't have that many big game players.
(01:50):
They added one. They added one this week, Zeke Elliott.
He's our running back from the Dallas Cowboys. Later the Cowboys.
He agrees to a deal to join the Pats, and
Elliott will be used in mostly goal line short yardage situations.
He'll share the ball with Remandre Stevenson. That's the plan.
(02:10):
Things always go as planned, unless they don't. Now you
would think everything is just lollipops and unicorns and all that.
You bring in a new player, there's a little bit
of juice, a little bit of buzz, and Zeke Elliott,
who hasn't been good in four years, is the biggest
name on the Patriot's offense, which says more about the
Patriot's offense than does about Zeke Elliott. But anyway, the
(02:32):
answer is that there's stuff. There's stuff going on now
if you've not heard the latest, maybe not a little
Birdie tells us that Ezekiel Elliott not being greeted with
a warm hug, not open arms in New England. Say
what we are told. There are factions in the Patriot
(02:53):
locker room said to be upset and not happy that
Zeke Elliott was tossed into the mix. So let us
discuss the question is a Ezekiel Elliot bringing tension to
the Patriot locker room? I have instant oatmeal, hogwash, and medication,
(03:17):
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are going to make a cold turkey sandwich pretty good, right,
leftover Turkey Thanksgiving. We'll be here before you know it.
Not bad, all right. So to lead off this story
which is starting to gain a little bit of traction
about Zeke Elliott issues, possibly with some of the guys
(03:38):
in the pictures, I am a cynic on this one.
I'm generally a cynic anyway, but in this one, in particular,
I am a sinic. It is a straw man situation,
if you will, meaning at any time anywhere you can
find clicks in a locker room, and anyone's played sports
(04:02):
knows that anyone's just been around it, you know, any
group of people. It's not just sports. And there was
a great quote from a Hall of fameer Casey Stangle
years ago summed up the situation, and Casey Stengel stated,
the secret to success as a coach or a manager
is to keep the five guys who hate you away
(04:22):
from the four guys who haven't yet made their mind
up on who you are. But the locker room palace
intrigue drama, a rama. Not that I'm against it, because
I've done a monologue now and again on it. But
it's the easiest story to toss out. It's like instant
oatmeil on a camping trip. Right, just add a little
(04:43):
hot water and enjoy. That's it. Right, This is not
just a sports issue because the reality is, according to research,
over fifty percent of Americans in any job are unhappy
at work. Number fifty two percent people unhappy at their jobs.
In addition, but wait, there's more, sixty percent of people
(05:05):
claimed they're emotionally detached at work. So if that's the
way it is in the general pop then you say
the NFL is not really different than that. Right, people
are upset, they're angry about certain things. But it is
an infestation if you will, And it really depends on
your agenda. What is your agenda if you're cooking up
(05:28):
a story, if you're a beat writer or someone out
a blogger covering a team, what is your agenda? You
can always find guys that will fawn over the new
player and give wonderful, sugar coated opinions, and you could
write that story. But that doesn't get clicks. But if
you write a story that's certain unnamed Patriot players have
(05:51):
a beef with Zwekiol Elliott, and all of a sudden
you got something click aty click click click. It plays
well the elect it likes and that's what you're looking for. Now. Furthermore,
let's move on from New England. We go now to
Parts Unknown, where Ocho Sinko. Chad Johnson had a hot
(06:14):
take recently. He talked about Odell Beckham, saying that Odell
would have, could have, should have made NFL history. He
said on a podcast he's not doing with Cam Newton.
Why because everyone's got a podcast, even I have a podcast.
Chad Johnson says, I wish we could rewind rewind back
(06:36):
to the time in time, and O'Dell Beckham never got hurt.
He says, I think oh might have been the first
two hundred million dollar guy, is what he said. So
as it stands now, Odell Beckham playing with the Ravens.
He signed a one year contract for fifteen million dollars
(06:58):
this year and he's trying to come back. He missed
all of last season, was injured in the Super Bowl
for the Rams, in that great win against the Bengals
in the Super Bowl in La La Land. So the
question would Odell Beckham have been a two hundred million
dollar man had he not gotten hurt? So I am
shaking my head. No, I am shaking my head no.
(07:20):
On this that is what's known as a hog wash.
Hog wash Ocho sink is talking out of his BADUNKA
dunk is what he's doing on this one. We know
we learned this as we grow up. In your kid
you don't know this, but we're not immortal, and you
(07:40):
are going to get hurt. That's part of it. And
the ones that make the most money get hurt less.
But it's inevitable you're going to end up in the
injury tent and all that. And OBJ is thirty years old.
So I did some malord math on this, which is
wonderful malor math. It's not quite real math, but so
bear with me. So obj thirty years old. Up until
(08:05):
this point, he has made ninety seven point eight million dollars.
His prime earning years, though, are just about over. We
all agree on that. Everyone's not in their head yet
we can agree with it. So the NFL, genuinely speaking
does not pay top dollars to receivers past the age
of say thirty two, and Beckham's thirty. So okay, fine,
(08:27):
Beckham would have had to have almost doubled and we
would have actually had to double this sorary to get
to two undred million dollars. He would have had got
over the to and he's made ninety seven point eight
so up until this point, Beckham would have had to
have doubled his salary. Now who has the biggest contract
among any receiver in the NFL, Well, right now it
(08:47):
is DeVante Adams of the Raiders who's got a one
hundred and forty million dollar deal. Not all of it, though,
is guaranteed for the Silver and Black and Odell Beckham
his biggest cond track was five years ninety million, but
using that malor math. He would have been if he
hadn't gotten hurt. Beckham would have been in it, one
(09:08):
hundred and fifty total millionaire. I'd give himn extra sixty
fifty five sixty million dollars. So I'd give him that. Now,
parting shot, let's pivot away from the NFL. Let's go
to baseball. We mentioned this in a previous hour, but
let's delve into it a little bit more. Angel Hernandez
not an angel, not a real angel, He's an umpire.
(09:29):
Angel Hernandez taking it in the shorts yet again this
week his discrimination lawsuit against Big Baseball as it's been denied.
It's been denied a federal court denying the reinstatement of
the case. This has been an ongoing legal battle. Her Namedez,
(09:49):
a veteran umpires from Cuba, sued Major League Baseball in
twenty seventeen. He said, listen, I'm not getting the good
gigs because you people are racist. You're discriminating against me.
He played the race card from the bottom of the deck,
just like that. And you'd think in the times we
(10:09):
live now, he'd have a strong case and all that,
but no, no, did not. So he lost and now
he's lost again. Hernandez also arguing that Joe Toy, Baseball's
chief baseball officer, no longer does that, but he did
for a long time held a grudge essentially I'm paraphrasm,
but held a grudge against Angel Hernandez from his days
managing the Yankees. So the question on this one, how
(10:32):
does Angel Hernandez recover from this latest setback? And the
answer is he doesn't recover from this. This is a
medication situation, as in take your medicine. It is a
bitter pill to swallow. For Angel Hernandez. He went the
legal route and all he has to show for it
(10:53):
is a bunch of billable hours. I'm assuming the lawyers
that took the case for Angel Hernandez to not do
this out of the goodness of their heart. So in
the end, he has a lot of legal bills he's
got to pay, Angel Hernandez, and he'll have his tail
between his legs and the lawsuit has been rejected again.
(11:16):
It's all over there, so sunny days from Major League Baseball,
and Baseball can now without any kind of pushback, can
now hand Angel Hernandez a pink slip and say bye. Bye.
We are going to replace you with some flotsam and jetsam,
some no name barring dull generic umpire and you're done,
(11:40):
be gone out of here, see you later. It is

be so an arrest warrant has been issued for a
former MVP. There is an active arrest warrant out for
a former MVP. We'll get to that and we will
(12:25):
do it next.

Speaker 1 (13:01):
Still reacting to keg drinking Steve who called up at
the end of last hour to play the game. The
K C. Carr Haller says, all that keg drinking gave
Steve diarrhea of the mouth. Yeah, he was very verbose.
No brevity, no brevity at all. Fudgie says keg drinking.
Steve's answers remind me of Poopy's picks. Okay, what else
(13:26):
do we have? Travis says, here's the real question for
not enough or too much? Was keg drinking? Steve served
too much beer or not enough? But it sounds like
not enough because he was still talking and it appears
he would like to be passed out somewhere. But he
(13:47):
is a happy drunk. He loved me, he said he
wanted to kiss me. I think that's what he said.
Jack writes in says, I think Artie Marino. That's the
Angels owner. Has the Angels take thinking because he the moron,
thinks he has a chance to draft Caleb Williams. That's
a good line. Like the Angels are they're trying to
(14:09):
get Caleb. I think they in your quarterback. They've tried
baseball players. It hasn't worked out, so why not bring
in a quarterback and that will put them over the top.
That's what they need. Let's go to the phones and
we'll say hello to Angry Bill. And Hello, Angry Bill,
you're on Fox Sports Radio.

drinking Steve has.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
Yes, I can pick up on that real quick. But yeah,
he's you got to hook him up because he's a
he's a natural. He's just like beer drinking Brian.
Speaker 5 (14:58):
No one thing.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
I wanted to get on to your commercial. Your tire
commercials are working real well. I gotta get some tires
from my truck good, and I got the quarter and
I went down. I checked Washington's head in there. But
then I felt real bad because the only one should
be looking at Washington's head is Martha. Martha should be
the only one to down at Georgia.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
You're doing the George Washington joke. Lame jokes are on Friday, Okay.
Speaker 4 (15:21):

Speaker 1 (15:24):
First, Well, do you take your Do you take your
teeth out when you're doing things?
Speaker 4 (15:30):
Yeah? And can get my tongue in there further? Okay,
I mean, you know it's only natural.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
I don't want to do that. Okay.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
And then but she's getting all the wood chips inside there.

Parker on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcast.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
So if you had a former MVP getting an arrest
warrant from Major League Baseball and you guessed Miguel to Hata,
congratulations Miggie. Yeah, Meggie, I love Miguel Tata Oakland A's
back in the day. That was the moneyball A's right,
the hot MVP season with Oakland like four years older
than he said he was. Right. Yeah, but yeah, it's fine.
(23:28):
It happens. But Miguel ta Hatta has run into some
financial troubles in the Dominican Republic and he had a
debt of about nine million dollars, so he wrote a check.
The check bounced so high it went out through the
solar system. It just bounced way way high up there.
(23:50):
And so yeah, there's been an arrest warrant issued for
writing a bad check for Miguel Dahta And it's one
of those things you're like, he end up in that
spot because good, he made a lot of money. He
played a long time, played bounced around at the end
of his career once he left the A's, he played
(24:13):
with a bunch of other teams. But in his career.
You want to take guess how much Miguel to how
To made in his career, ed, what do you think?
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Well, I'm really good at guessing amounts of things, is
you know. Yeah, so I'm going to say he made
a hundred million dollars.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
I think he made more than that. Actually, I'm trying
to figure it out. I'm trying to find the actual
number here. And he earned one hundred over one hundred
million in the majors, and I think a little You're
almost exactly right though, you're almost shocking impressive there. So
(24:50):
if you made a hundred million, now after taxes, you
had to give a lot of that away. But still,
you know, you'd like to think when you're in your
mid forties, or whatever to hot Day is that you'd
be okay, but apparently apparently not. I'm sure it's all
a misunderstanding. It's all a misunderstanding. And the check that
he wrote was like a racquetball and it just went
flying into the heavens, just went up, up, up and
(25:13):
away and speaking a baseball, I'm sure that the New
York media will not not blow this up at all.
But Aaron Judge after the Yankees did nothing against the
Atlanta Braves last night, Aaron Judge said of the Yankees
of twenty twenty three, he said, quote, we're not showing
up is what he said, which is not wrong, not
(25:35):
wrong by Aaron Judge, but still to say it to
put your name on it rather rather impressive there. So
I'm sure that will be taken with a grain of
salt in New York. Let's go to Cowboy John Brad
in Windsor, Ontario, a fine Canadian land.
Speaker 8 (25:50):
Hello cowboy, Well, Ben Well, here's a Wando wander Frankel's
favorite golden nodies young Girls by Gary Pucket in the
Union Gap Today, a point that was piled up by
Wiley Post and had a great humors. Will Rogers as
(26:13):
his passionate crashed in Point Barrow in and then Alaska Territory,
and both were killed. And my buddy Jamie Lonston's paternal
grandfather of James Taylor, was the foreman on Will Rogers
ranch in Oklahoma. They were both like Cherokees. And it's
fitting that five years ago today that a recent Louise
(26:36):
Franklin passed away due to pancreatic cancer, seventy years of
the day after George Herman roof because the Queen of
full was the Babe Ruth of singers, of course. And
also four years ago today, Peter Fonda died, you know,
his father, his father, Henry Fonda, had died a thirty
(26:59):
seven years yeah, and four days before.
Speaker 1 (27:02):

Of course, also Salvador Sanchez, the great former of of

my clue, squash crush. Yeah, so you got it off.
He got it off. My didn't even hear what I
would have used. I would have you an American reference
if but Gordon is in Okinawa. But I would have said,
(35:05):
like Orange.
Speaker 6 (35:08):
We're gonna win, get going, let's get going.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
Gordon doesn't want any of the bull crap from Jet.

with anxious, anxious, worried, no the word no.
Speaker 8 (38:26):
Co he got love my coat?
Speaker 1 (38:34):
Hey, I win to I'm hanging up on you and
you and you and you and
Hello and welcome. It's our name, perfall our four and
Zeke Elly hasn't even played a game yet with the Patriots,
and there are some saying that he is bringing tention
to the Patriots locker room? Is that true? Also? Would
Odell Beckham have been a two hundred million dollar man
(00:23):
if he hadn't gotten hurt? And what does go to baseball?
What does Angel Hernandez do now after his legal brew
haha has come to an end against Major League Baseball.
We'll talk about all of that and much more right now,
it is our number four. Have a wonderful day, and
here it is our number four. Trouble in Paradise? Is
(00:45):
it real or not? Wel gome and the beginning of
another hour of the Ben Malors Show. We are in
the a everywhere as we chirp, it's baked into the
DNA coast to coast, boarded, the border and beyond on
(01:06):
the vast and ponderously powerful microphones of fs are ammanating
live from the craft as crafty as a fox, as
we are broadcasting live from the tyrack dot com studios.
Tyrack dot Com will help you get there in unmatched selection,
fast free shipping, free road hazard protection and over ten
(01:28):
thousand recommended installers. Tire rack dot com the way that
tire buying should be. And we're back at it again
this hour lead coming from Foxborough. It's where the New
England Patriots a pretty mediocre team, but they continue to
feed the content kitty and we thank them for that.
Even though they don't have that many big game players.
(01:50):
They added one. They added one this week, Zeke Elliott.
He's our running back from the Dallas Cowboys. Later the Cowboys.
He agrees to a deal to join the Pats, and
Elliott will be used in mostly goal line short yardage situations.
He'll share the ball with Remandre Stevenson. That's the plan.
(02:10):
Things always go as planned, unless they don't. Now you
would think everything is just lollipops and unicorns and all that.
You bring in a new player, there's a little bit
of juice, a little bit of buzz, and Zeke Elliott,
who hasn't been good in four years, is the biggest
name on the Patriot's offense, which says more about the
Patriot's offense than does about Zeke Elliott. But anyway, the
(02:32):
answer is that there's stuff. There's stuff going on now
if you've not heard the latest, maybe not a little
Birdie tells us that Ezekiel Elliott not being greeted with
a warm hug, not open arms in New England. Say
what we are told. There are factions in the Patriot
(02:53):
locker room said to be upset and not happy that
Zeke Elliott was tossed into the mix. So let us
discuss the question is a Ezekiel Elliot bringing tension to
the Patriot locker room? I have instant oatmeal, hogwash, and medication,
(03:17):
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are going to make a cold turkey sandwich pretty good, right,
leftover Turkey Thanksgiving. We'll be here before you know it.
Not bad, all right. So to lead off this story
which is starting to gain a little bit of traction
about Zeke Elliott issues, possibly with some of the guys
(03:38):
in the pictures, I am a cynic on this one.
I'm generally a cynic anyway, but in this one, in particular,
I am a sinic. It is a straw man situation,
if you will, meaning at any time anywhere you can
find clicks in a locker room, and anyone's played sports
(04:02):
knows that anyone's just been around it, you know, any
group of people. It's not just sports. And there was
a great quote from a Hall of fameer Casey Stangle
years ago summed up the situation, and Casey Stengel stated,
the secret to success as a coach or a manager
is to keep the five guys who hate you away
(04:22):
from the four guys who haven't yet made their mind
up on who you are. But the locker room palace
intrigue drama, a rama. Not that I'm against it, because
I've done a monologue now and again on it. But
it's the easiest story to toss out. It's like instant
oatmeil on a camping trip. Right, just add a little
(04:43):
hot water and enjoy. That's it. Right, This is not
just a sports issue because the reality is, according to research,
over fifty percent of Americans in any job are unhappy
at work. Number fifty two percent people unhappy at their jobs.
In addition, but wait, there's more, sixty percent of people
(05:05):
claimed they're emotionally detached at work. So if that's the
way it is in the general pop then you say
the NFL is not really different than that. Right, people
are upset, they're angry about certain things. But it is
an infestation if you will, And it really depends on
your agenda. What is your agenda if you're cooking up
(05:28):
a story, if you're a beat writer or someone out
a blogger covering a team, what is your agenda? You
can always find guys that will fawn over the new
player and give wonderful, sugar coated opinions, and you could
write that story. But that doesn't get clicks. But if
you write a story that's certain unnamed Patriot players have
(05:51):
a beef with Zwekiol Elliott, and all of a sudden
you got something click aty click click click. It plays
well the elect it likes and that's what you're looking for. Now. Furthermore,
let's move on from New England. We go now to
Parts Unknown, where Ocho Sinko. Chad Johnson had a hot
(06:14):
take recently. He talked about Odell Beckham, saying that Odell
would have, could have, should have made NFL history. He
said on a podcast he's not doing with Cam Newton.
Why because everyone's got a podcast, even I have a podcast.
Chad Johnson says, I wish we could rewind rewind back
(06:36):
to the time in time, and O'Dell Beckham never got hurt.
He says, I think oh might have been the first
two hundred million dollar guy, is what he said. So
as it stands now, Odell Beckham playing with the Ravens.
He signed a one year contract for fifteen million dollars
(06:58):
this year and he's trying to come back. He missed
all of last season, was injured in the Super Bowl
for the Rams, in that great win against the Bengals
in the Super Bowl in La La Land. So the
question would Odell Beckham have been a two hundred million
dollar man had he not gotten hurt? So I am
shaking my head. No, I am shaking my head no.
(07:20):
On this that is what's known as a hog wash.
Hog wash Ocho sink is talking out of his BADUNKA
dunk is what he's doing on this one. We know
we learned this as we grow up. In your kid
you don't know this, but we're not immortal, and you
(07:40):
are going to get hurt. That's part of it. And
the ones that make the most money get hurt less.
But it's inevitable you're going to end up in the
injury tent and all that. And OBJ is thirty years old.
So I did some malord math on this, which is
wonderful malor math. It's not quite real math, but so
bear with me. So obj thirty years old. Up until
(08:05):
this point, he has made ninety seven point eight million dollars.
His prime earning years, though, are just about over. We
all agree on that. Everyone's not in their head yet
we can agree with it. So the NFL, genuinely speaking
does not pay top dollars to receivers past the age
of say thirty two, and Beckham's thirty. So okay, fine,
(08:27):
Beckham would have had to have almost doubled and we
would have actually had to double this sorary to get
to two undred million dollars. He would have had got
over the to and he's made ninety seven point eight
so up until this point, Beckham would have had to
have doubled his salary. Now who has the biggest contract
among any receiver in the NFL, Well, right now it
(08:47):
is DeVante Adams of the Raiders who's got a one
hundred and forty million dollar deal. Not all of it, though,
is guaranteed for the Silver and Black and Odell Beckham
his biggest cond track was five years ninety million, but
using that malor math. He would have been if he
hadn't gotten hurt. Beckham would have been in it, one
(09:08):
hundred and fifty total millionaire. I'd give himn extra sixty
fifty five sixty million dollars. So I'd give him that. Now,
parting shot, let's pivot away from the NFL. Let's go
to baseball. We mentioned this in a previous hour, but
let's delve into it a little bit more. Angel Hernandez
not an angel, not a real angel, He's an umpire.
(09:29):
Angel Hernandez taking it in the shorts yet again this
week his discrimination lawsuit against Big Baseball as it's been denied.
It's been denied a federal court denying the reinstatement of
the case. This has been an ongoing legal battle. Her Namedez,
(09:49):
a veteran umpires from Cuba, sued Major League Baseball in
twenty seventeen. He said, listen, I'm not getting the good
gigs because you people are racist. You're discriminating against me.
He played the race card from the bottom of the deck,
just like that. And you'd think in the times we
(10:09):
live now, he'd have a strong case and all that,
but no, no, did not. So he lost and now
he's lost again. Hernandez also arguing that Joe Toy, Baseball's
chief baseball officer, no longer does that, but he did
for a long time held a grudge essentially I'm paraphrasm,
but held a grudge against Angel Hernandez from his days
managing the Yankees. So the question on this one, how
(10:32):
does Angel Hernandez recover from this latest setback? And the
answer is he doesn't recover from this. This is a
medication situation, as in take your medicine. It is a
bitter pill to swallow. For Angel Hernandez. He went the
legal route and all he has to show for it
(10:53):
is a bunch of billable hours. I'm assuming the lawyers
that took the case for Angel Hernandez to not do
this out of the goodness of their heart. So in
the end, he has a lot of legal bills he's
got to pay, Angel Hernandez, and he'll have his tail
between his legs and the lawsuit has been rejected again.
(11:16):
It's all over there, so sunny days from Major League Baseball,
and Baseball can now without any kind of pushback, can
now hand Angel Hernandez a pink slip and say bye. Bye.
We are going to replace you with some flotsam and jetsam,
some no name barring dull generic umpire and you're done,
(11:40):
be gone out of here, see you later. It is
the Ben Malard Show. You want to come in on
any of that, you can join us here at eight
seven seven ninety nine on Fox that's eight seven seven nine,

(12:02):
can only be as interesting as our guy, Steve Key
drinking Steve from Kansas City you've called up last hour.
What a bag of fun that guy turned out to
be so an arrest warrant has been issued for a
former MVP. There is an active arrest warrant out for
a former MVP. We'll get to that and we will
(12:25):
do it next.
Speaker 2 (12:27):

Show n LI from the tyrac dot com Fox Sports
(12:57):
Radio Studios. It's Ben Mallor, a lout of the boys.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Still reacting to keg drinking Steve who called up at
the end of last hour to play the game. The
K C. Carr Haller says, all that keg drinking gave
Steve diarrhea of the mouth. Yeah, he was very verbose.
No brevity, no brevity at all. Fudgie says keg drinking.
Steve's answers remind me of Poopy's picks. Okay, what else
(13:26):
do we have? Travis says, here's the real question for
not enough or too much? Was keg drinking? Steve served
too much beer or not enough? But it sounds like
not enough because he was still talking and it appears
he would like to be passed out somewhere. But he
(13:47):
is a happy drunk. He loved me, he said he
wanted to kiss me. I think that's what he said.
Jack writes in says, I think Artie Marino. That's the
Angels owner. Has the Angels take thinking because he the moron,
thinks he has a chance to draft Caleb Williams. That's
a good line. Like the Angels are they're trying to
(14:09):
get Caleb. I think they in your quarterback. They've tried
baseball players. It hasn't worked out, so why not bring
in a quarterback and that will put them over the top.
That's what they need. Let's go to the phones and
we'll say hello to Angry Bill. And Hello, Angry Bill,
you're on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
How you doing, guys? Steve, you're missing Steve. You're missing out, Ben,
You're missing out on this guy, Steve. He's he's your
next beer drinking Brian. He has such a natural stupidity.
I mean, he's perfect.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
I'm glad that you recognize the talent, Angry Bill, that
drinking Steve has.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
Yes, I can pick up on that real quick. But yeah,
he's you got to hook him up because he's a
he's a natural. He's just like beer drinking Brian.
Speaker 5 (14:58):
No one thing.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
I wanted to get on to your commercial. Your tire
commercials are working real well. I gotta get some tires
from my truck good, and I got the quarter and
I went down. I checked Washington's head in there. But
then I felt real bad because the only one should
be looking at Washington's head is Martha. Martha should be
the only one to down at Georgia.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
You're doing the George Washington joke. Lame jokes are on Friday, Okay.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
Yeah, But I always wondered if he took his teeth out.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
First, Well, do you take your Do you take your
teeth out when you're doing things?
Speaker 4 (15:30):
Yeah? And can get my tongue in there further? Okay,
I mean, you know it's only natural.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
I don't want to do that. Okay.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
And then but she's getting all the wood chips inside there.
You know she don't want the wood chips inside her
huh huh.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Anything else.

You have a great day.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Thank you, You have a you have a better day.
Never call me again.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
That might be his worst call ever.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
He cooks up these comedy routines. He's got these skits
in his head. And I'm sure in Angry Bill's head
it's like, this is gonna be great, man, These guys
are gonna love it. It's gonna be so good. And
then it just blows. Absolutely, let's go to Marcel in Brooklyn.

Speaker 2 (22:30):

Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (22:35):

Speaker 1 (23:05):
So if you had a former MVP getting an arrest
warrant from Major League Baseball and you guessed Miguel to Hata,
congratulations Miggie. Yeah, Meggie, I love Miguel Tata Oakland A's
back in the day. That was the moneyball A's right,
the hot MVP season with Oakland like four years older
than he said he was. Right. Yeah, but yeah, it's fine.
(23:28):
It happens. But Miguel ta Hatta has run into some
financial troubles in the Dominican Republic and he had a
debt of about nine million dollars, so he wrote a check.
The check bounced so high it went out through the
solar system. It just bounced way way high up there.
(23:50):
And so yeah, there's been an arrest warrant issued for
writing a bad check for Miguel Dahta And it's one
of those things you're like, he end up in that
spot because good, he made a lot of money. He
played a long time, played bounced around at the end
of his career once he left the A's, he played
(24:13):
with a bunch of other teams. But in his career.
You want to take guess how much Miguel to how
To made in his career, ed, what do you think?
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Well, I'm really good at guessing amounts of things, is
you know. Yeah, so I'm going to say he made
a hundred million dollars.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
I think he made more than that. Actually, I'm trying
to figure it out. I'm trying to find the actual
number here. And he earned one hundred over one hundred
million in the majors, and I think a little You're
almost exactly right though, you're almost shocking impressive there. So
(24:50):
if you made a hundred million, now after taxes, you
had to give a lot of that away. But still,
you know, you'd like to think when you're in your
mid forties, or whatever to hot Day is that you'd
be okay, but apparently apparently not. I'm sure it's all
a misunderstanding. It's all a misunderstanding. And the check that
he wrote was like a racquetball and it just went
flying into the heavens, just went up, up, up and
(25:13):
away and speaking a baseball, I'm sure that the New
York media will not not blow this up at all.
But Aaron Judge after the Yankees did nothing against the
Atlanta Braves last night, Aaron Judge said of the Yankees
of twenty twenty three, he said, quote, we're not showing
up is what he said, which is not wrong, not
(25:35):
wrong by Aaron Judge, but still to say it to
put your name on it rather rather impressive there. So
I'm sure that will be taken with a grain of
salt in New York. Let's go to Cowboy John Brad
in Windsor, Ontario, a fine Canadian land.
Speaker 8 (25:50):
