Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our number three, our three, piping hot out of
the oven, talking bays ball from the GM meetings in
Arizona where they were puking up a storm there. And
it is also where Scott Boris chimed in. Where are
you on Scott Borris's plan for a neutral site world
(00:24):
series that ruffled some feathers around the baseball world? Are
you buying the Dodgers is the favorite for show? Hey,
o'tani and how did you react to Ron Washington getting
the Angels job over Buck Showalter. We'll talk about that
and a whole lot more right now here. It is
(00:45):
our number three. It would be a world of change.
Welcme in the beginning of another hour of the Ben
Mather Show.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
We are in the everywhere, melting your.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Ears literally as we travel to uncharted islands of wisdom
and understanding, coast to coast, border.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
The border and beyond.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
On the vast and considerably powerful microphones of fs are
am monating live from the crawl as we do the
pub crawl all night long. We are broadcasting live from
the tyrack dot com studios. Tyraq dot com will help

(01:41):
tyraq dot com, The Way Tire Buying, shoe Hope all
is well with you. We go now travel to the
land of Baseball for some the most exciting time of
the year in baseball, the Hotstove League. It was not
the Hot Stove League this offseason so far. It was
the league as a number of baseball executives were puking
(02:03):
their gut side and they had a case.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Of Die Die diarrhea.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
At the GM meetings. There a illness going around well
at the GM meetings before they shut it down because
everyone was puking and pooping their pants. Scott Boris, it
was yep, it's that time of there. Scott Boris gave
his State of the Union address. He's the real commissioner
of baseball. They got that jellyfish, that spineless, toothless commissioner
(02:30):
in name only rob Manfraud, who allowed cheating to go
on under his nose and did not punish any of
the players who cheated the Astros. And because of that,
we have a void among world championships.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
We have a void.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
There's no World Series champion in twenty twenty two didn't
happen because of rob Manfrond, but Scott Boris, who represents
some of those cheaters as the number one power broker
in all of baseball, and not even close, right, it's
not even close. Rob Manford is demand when it comes
to that, and is much anticipated. November swore a with
(03:09):
the Baseball scribes. The thing that ruffled feathers the most
this is could get right to the lead here. Don't
bury anything else. The headline here changed to the World Series. Now,
if you didn't see this or didn't hear about it,
possibly not, Scott Boris suggested to the assembled Baseball scribes.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
He said, listen, the World Series.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
I'm looking at the World Series. The World Series should
be played at a neutral site every year, not when
there's a pandemic only every single year. That we should
just have it in a city and that'll be that.
And they can bid on the city, you know, the
cities can bid on it. Municipalities can bid on the
site to host the World Series. But that's what he wanted.
(03:52):
Now it has only happened once. That was during the
COVID pandemic in twenty twenty. In the one hundred and
twenty year history of the World Series, it has only
happened but one time, and so Boris is like, hey,
this is what they ought to do. So and that
upset people. People are like, oh, I can't believe this guy.
What a douchebag. You know, they were just killing him.
So let us discuss the question where are you at
(04:15):
on Scott Boris and his plan that he shared with
the class for a neutral a neutral site World Series.
So I've got Ronald Reagan, billboard, Hot one hundred and
lumber mill, and we will combine all of these things
together and we are going to make some teenage mutant
(04:35):
ninja turtles is what we're going to make. Why not?
All right? So, first of all, Scott Boris, I've known
him a little bit over the years. This guy loves,
absolutely relishes his time with the media at the GM
meetings in the winter meetings. This is his time to shine.
It's all about him. He's on the catwalk, he's doing
(04:57):
the pirouette and he's taking a bow and walking around
on like a peacock with his feathers up. I mean,
he's just it's all.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
About it, just loves it and everyone eats it up.
He is not.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
He's not come up with an original idea, meaning that
this is something he has brought up at least for
the last couple of years. We've talked about it on
the microphones of Fox Sports Radio. Scott Boris has mentioned
this in the past. He floats it on a yearly basis.
Now it's like the swallows returning to Capistrano or punk
Satani Phil in Pennsylvania. Will he see the shadow or
(05:34):
not from this side of the aisle. It doesn't make
sense right for baseball. For Scott Boris, it makes sense.
It's a self serving take. Scott Boris is like, Hey,
I'm looking out for Scott Boris. Look at how much
revenue the Super Bowl generates for cities and for the
NFL more importantly, but also look at the amount of
(05:55):
revenue like the Final Four Final Four weekend, whether it's
an inn Annapolis or Houston or LA or New York
or wherever there's money to be made, there's money to
be made. And by making the World Series a neutral
site event, in the mind of Scott Morris and others,
(06:16):
He's not the only one that has tossed this out.
You put it on a pedestal and when you put
something on a pedestal. It's kind of like if you've
ever taken a business class and studied human nature, like
I'm Chinese the right announs.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
But there's certain.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Products that really aren't worth that much. Like I'll tell you.
I'll tell you handbags, like high end women's handbags, they're
really not that different. You can buy a bag at
Target or Walmart and it's probably just as good as
the high end bag, but it doesn't have the name.
(06:53):
And if you charge more for something, people think it's
worth more. So the World Series, if you said, hey,
local hacked politicians, you have to pay us to host
the World Series, it has more hashe shall we see
you understand what I'm saying. You understand what say and
he stands the benefit? Right, It'll be head and shoulders
(07:16):
above everything else. And you would then activate what Ronald
Reagan was trying to sell back and they would trickle
down economics like baseball sells the World Series to Las
Vegas for two hundred million dollars and then that money
goes back into the game, and then eventually it trickles
down into the bank account of Scott Boris there in
(07:37):
Newport beach that it goes into the Boris compound and
and he gets some of that money more revenue. Corporate
America would spend more money, and it would all go
the way of baseball. And in the end, if you
were to have a neutral sete World Series, it would
suck because one of the cool things about baseball is
the quirks in the stadiums and that there's there's the
(07:58):
Green Monster in Finway, You've got the Ivy at Wrigley Field.
You've got these little, small, minute things that oftentimes turn
out to be big deals. And it's not the same
in every stadium. If you were to have a neutral
site World Series, assuming it's let's say you built the
stadium just for the World Series, I don't why you
do that, but you'd have like a generic stadium or
(08:19):
something like that. And who wants that? And do we
really want the World Series to be in? It would
be in the following cities. It'll be in Las Vegas,
Los Angeles, Miami. You have think baseball's played in late October.
They don't want to play in cold weather.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Dallas.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
We played in Dallas, Houston, possibly Houston, right, It was
not too bad there, but you're you're gonna eliminate the
usual sites of the World Series, like Boston's been in
the World Series a bunch of the last generation. The
Cubs have been to the World Series once in the
last one hundred and fifty years or whatever. Anyway, So
that's the take on that. Now, second, we move over
(09:01):
to the free agent sweepstakes. We read that the team
that is the favorite, the early favorite to win the
free agency in baseball. You know who the favorite is
to win free agency? The sho Heo Tani Sweepstakes.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
The Doyers.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Shocking, shocking, shocking, shocking, Yes, the Dodgers. According to DraftKings,
a big sponsor of Fox Sports Radio, they have the
Dodgers at minus one ten minus one ten, followed by
the Higantes the San Francisco treat at plus five hundred,
and they're pretty distant behind the Dodgers in terms of this.
(09:40):
The Mariners are also there. They're even with the Mets
and the Yankees. Others saying the Red Sox are in
the mix. But the odds here have the Dodgers way
out in front of everyone else. Are you buying the
Dodgers as the favorite for show?
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Hay Old Tani.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Angels. I don't see their page DW on page down.
I'm looking for the Angels list. All right, So are
you buying the Dodgers as the favorite for shoo Toddy?
I am okay, I'm nodding my head. Yes, I'll be
betting Bright's side of this. Now, here's what I know.
The gambling market is a pretty good indicator of what's
going to happen.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
It's not always right.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
They get some things wrong, but generally speaking, they have
a stake in it. They have a skin in the game,
so they're not going to futs around with the gambling numbers,
and so it makes sense. And everything I've heard from
the Dodger people is they didn't make any changes. They
were abject failures in the playoffs yet again, and they
(10:39):
were putting a body bag by an inferior team, the Diamondbacks.
And so you look at the Dodgers. They kept Dave Roberts.
They everyone in the front office is the same, So
they're going to keep on keeping on. And if you
do that, and you still want to charge outrageous amounts
of money for nachos and pretzels and all the crap
that they overprice at Dodger Stadium. You need to make
(10:59):
a splash. You've got to keep people engaged, keep people excited.
And so the Dodgers are going to climb on the
hot one hundred, the Billboard Hot one hundred, and they're
gonna go justin Timberlake from years ago, bring sexy back,
and Sho Hao Tani would be bringing sexy back. And
for him, he can stay at his house if he wants.
(11:20):
He lives in down on the OC and could commute.
If he has a helicopter, he could do that, or
maybe a motorcycle cut through traffic.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
All right, final fought.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
We stay where Shoeo Tani has played at the Big A,
the Whoa Begone Angels, stealing the headlines. A shot in.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
In the Way Back Machine. They went Way, way way back.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Ron Washington, Remember Ron Washington years ago got to the
World Series twice with the Rangers and then fell into scandal.
He's been coaching for the Atlanta Braves. Well, Ron Washington
is now the skipper. He's been giving the keys to
the clubhouse, the Kingdom, the early Gates. Ron Washington beating
out Buck Showalter, and he has taken.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Over in Anaheim. He will be the twenty third.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Different manager in Angel franchise history. So how did you
react to Ron Washington getting the Angel job over Buck Showalter.
So I'll go first. We talked about this in a
previous episode of the show, and I am surprised. I'm
not shocked, but I am surprised because side by side,
(12:29):
the easier hire was Buck Showalter. That's the easier hire.
But she went with Ron Washington. And there's a lot
of red marks near his name. They always like to
brag about a young man's game, and he's past the
age of seventy. I'm fine with that, but other people
get all freaked out to get the hebgbi's by that.
Washington also has had a case of, as Johnny Cash
(12:51):
would say, the cocaine blues back in the back in
the day. There've been some other scandals, some Tadrey endeavors,
taboo things that involved in But this is a nepotism situation.
Nepotism is undefeated, undefeated. Ron Washington worked with the Angels
GM in Texas and Atlanta before he became the Angels GM,
(13:12):
So it's better the devil, you know, and in this
case that would be Ron Washington, who by the way
uses that devilish charm to convince people that he's God's
gift to baseball.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
He's a nice guy.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
I don't I don't have I don't know anything much
about him. I've talked to him a few times over
the years. But Ron Washington, the way I would describe
Ron Washington is he could go into a lumber mill
and sell sawdust to the people running the lumber mill.
Like he's got that gift for gad right, he's got
that debonair state. And he's just like an old school
baseball guy, old school any X Dodger came up with
(13:46):
the Dodgers back and then Angel's hiring another ex Dodger.
But the baseball writers love him because he's a dial
a quote guy and he gives them a lot of
inside dirt. He gives the writers a lot of stuff
that they wouldn't have otherwise. And he works tirelessly and
all that. He's very players of him. And so he's
a raw rack kind of guy. And he'll paper over
the cracks in Anaheim. If he can pitch, that'll help.
(14:07):
And Ron Washington will be the fourth manager in six seasons.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
At the Big A.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Brad Austmas Joe Madden, Phil Nevin as they're still trying
to find their next Mike Soosha in Anaheim. And the Angels,
of course, still trying to find their way to the postseason.
They haven't been.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
There in a long time, twenty fourteen.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
I was a child in twenty fourteen, the last time
the Angels got to the playoffs. It is the Ben

And this from the NFL is going to be a
big news that you were talking earlier about the Ford
and nine Ers defense not doing too well. I don't
know if you added this tidbit or not, but did
you see that forty nine ers through its quarter Steve
Wilkes has been ordered out of the press box.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
And you were like sparty over there.
Speaker 11 (25:06):
I did.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
It was part of my monologue. I mean, that's a
bad listening. But I know you're still on vacation, Eddie,
but I mean I I literally that was like a
middle part of the monologue.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Is that is that in the meaty part of it?
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Yeah? Yeah, that's that bad job. Damn Wow.
Speaker 6 (25:21):
Steve looks down on the sidelines now he's been over
down box. Sure that he'll turn things around.
Speaker 8 (25:26):
Cut that meat.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
You were busy. You're eating an Italian sub edity. That's
why you were eating very tasty. I wish I was
all right spent out of show as we press on
through these late night hours.
Speaker 1 (25:41):

Angels not only did they hire Ron Washington as the manager,
(26:16):
but he's put his coaching staff together and one of
the names that has been mentioned on the Angels coaching
staff is someone that I have a passed with many
many years ago. So of course, from my own interests,
I'm excited about this. You're probably have Ben Kennedy. No, oh,
Fox Sports Radios owned Kevin Kennedy. But no, this is
a guy. When I was a young kid reporter and
(26:37):
I was tasked with covering an Angel team that imploded
blew up. I think it was an eleven game lead
in August, gave it all back to the Seattle Mariners
and they could not win a game to save their life.
So I had to go into the locker room and
interview these idiots as they were losing every game. And
at one point, there was a player on the Angels
(26:58):
that died a couple years ago named Tony Phillips, who
got very upset with me because he was the only
guy that had any hits for the Angels I had
to interview. I asked, I just had to get like
a fifteen second sound bite, that's it. I just wanted
to get in and out. I didn't want to bother him.
I just needed a sound bite. I had my job.
I got paid like fifty bucks from the Associated Press
to get a SoundBite. So I went up to him,
(27:18):
asked him a couple of questions and he got so
upset with me that he wanted to fight me. And
the person that came over and put a stop to
that was Chili Davis. And Chili Davis is appaently going
to be the hitting coach for the Angels. So I
like Chili. I like who don't like you?
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Well, I like a beef chili, not a bean chili.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
I like the beef chill. Gotta have the beans. No
beef chilli chopped onion. Onion, of course onion, but beef,
no beans.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
Ben likes the beef.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
I'm all about the beef. I am also supposedly on
the Angels coaching staff. Tory Hunter. He played for the
two wins in the Angels for a lot of time.
So you've got Chili Davis, Tory Hunter, Eric young e Y,
who I also know you worked. He was on a
radio He did a radio show back in the back
in the day when I was doing stuff in l
(28:14):
A and Clint Hurdle, so all former Pirates and Rockies,
and he'll be the interim manager when Ron Washington does
that excite your coop? You got Clint hurdles. The bench coach.
You got e Y is the third base coach. Chilie
Davis is the hitting coach. I don't know who the
(28:35):
pitching coach is going to be.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
I love Tory Hunter. He was like one of my
favorite angels of all time.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Yeah, all right, well who the I don't see the
I don't see the pitcher, Ered Washburn will be the
pitching coach. Chuck Finley. They gotta bring Finley back. Bryan Finley,
Ron Romannick. They can bring Ron Romannequin and have him
be uh yeah, all right. It should just be like
the Red Sox won the World Series. They had fried
chicken and you know beer, So just have that as
(28:59):
the pitching coach, fried chicken and beer, you'll win the
World Series. John Lackey was part of that Red Sox
team when they were playing video games and all that
futsing around in the clubhouse. It's the ben Masha, what
why don't we start the festivities right now? What do
you say here? Strike up the band? I was saying,
let's get the party started right now.
Speaker 9 (29:16):
All time for Twitter.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Send us your questions on Twitter, no where we go.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
These are actual questions by actual listeners like yourself, send
a question in on ex hashtag ask Ben. Otherwise ferg
dog will bogart the entire segment. We now go over
to the Kooper loop for the reading of the questions.
All right, Ben, Yes, let's see. We're gonna start with
(29:50):
Lady Sideburns, one of my favorite women. Lady Sideburns, wants
to know when using public restrooms, do you flush with
your hand or your foot.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
I'm a foot I'm a foot guy.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
I am. I got a bit of a foot fetish
when it comes to that. I normally when it comes
to that, well, no, I like to use I got
long legs. I might as well use the long legs,
and I will. I will usually reach the foot.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
Over the toilet to flush the toilet.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
So that's my move.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Eddie, I use my hand.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
You're such a pig.
Speaker 6 (30:21):
I did have a nice lady walking on me while
I was using the restroom in New York.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
Oh, you were in the ladies room.
Speaker 6 (30:27):
No, it was one of those unisex bathrooms, and apparently
the lock did not work. Oh, surprise, surprise, surprise, locked
on in and I was like, Hi, there, she got
a show.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
What are you sitting? I was not sitting was standing
your pants.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
Around your ankles. Eddie were yeah, perhaps, wow, how about that?
Speaker 6 (30:49):
So I walked out said sorry, you had to see that,
and she laughed that it wasn't anything I haven't seen before.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
Yeah, she laughed at your private parts. That's all right,
I was Sam.
Speaker 7 (31:02):
It depends on the type of flusher. If it's one
of those like stick flushers, I'll use my foot. If
it's like it kind of a more intimate restaurant where
it has the normal kind of in home flusher, I'll
have to use my hand.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
That's a little more difficult.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Sometimes you still use your foot, you just got using
the tip of your your toes, but have movement. I
like the Costco toilets because those are really good for
your your foot because the stick their industrial strength toilets.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Well, yeah, sometimes you'll have those like real flushing hard.
That's usually this.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
It's a solid toilet, it's a it's a really good
but they spent a lot of money on toylets.
Speaker 7 (31:34):
Yet, what if it's one of those flat button ones
where you have to push you really can't use your foot.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
That's tough. Back of the ankle.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
I don't know about.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
I don't know, man, the local man was found in
the bathroom.
Speaker 12 (31:50):
Floor apparently flush the toilet cool please, I am a
foot flusher, yeah, uh air high five Cooper.
Speaker 11 (32:01):
Yeah, but I don't think I've ever seen a regular
home flusher out in a puppet mom and like Italians
because like I mean, not anytime lately, because like you said, nowadays,
it's got even even like home toilets have the buttons.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
Like, I gotta tell you another feature I like they
it's a left over from the COVID era. They have
the foot pedal you can pull the door open. Oh yeah,
I like that. Yeah, Like that's a.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
Major up You could wash your hands there, you know
what I mean.
Speaker 7 (32:31):
But obviously the sensor ones that the automatic flushers those
are sometimes but sometimes those flush too early and you're
like miving and you're like, I'm not ready to get
out of here yet.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
Alight, why don't we pause for the cost? You have
more of ass man. By the way, there's a major
upgrade that I don't think any of us have talked
about on the air here at Fox Sports Radio, and
we will address that. We'll get to it, all right, Well,
you might know what I'm talking about, maybe not but
we'll get to that and more of your questions hashtag
asked Ben.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
It rolls on for our rest.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
Of the hour. Fox Sports Radio has the best sports

Speaker 6 (33:13):
Well, you would think I would have all these things
almost memorized, but my computer decided to reboot. I don't
have the rejoints, but I can't tell you that we
are doing. Ask Ben, it's broke. It's wildly exciting and
now live from the Tirak dot com Fox Sports Radio Studios.
It's Ben Maller.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Oh man, you're still in vacation mode. There guards my
computer rebooted. What which was to do? Get Sparty back in?
Here's what we got.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
All right, We're back tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
Spartacus Williamsport the third.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
It is the Benmler Show. We roll on.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
Your questions are answers for the rest of the hour,
and back to the Cooper.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
Here's the question.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
Did I think Eddie noticed the that the don't say
that there is an upgrade to the building. Sam, did
you notice the upgrade that happened recently? To Fox Sports
Radio to the building in the building, in the building,
can you give me a hint? No, I don't think so, then.
Speaker 8 (34:11):
I do not.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
Can you do you notice anything different in the building?
Speaker 1 (34:17):
Nope, Eddie, new microwave. No, I think there is a
new microwave. No, in the bathroom we were washing. Yeah,
the foss that was like a couple of weeks ago. Yeah,
but it's relative.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
We haven't talked about it.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
This is a major change now. Actually, I don't know
if I like it. No, I like, I love it.
It's like the but.
Speaker 7 (34:38):
It takes forever for the hot water you get going anywhere,
So I don't need hot water, I know. But then
before you just would rub your hands.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
But it's terrible. You never get enough water. You gotta
put your hands back under the sensor, over and over.
It's the worst invention. The sensor on a faucet. So
it's a terrible invention because.
Speaker 11 (34:55):
If the point, no, it's stay on as you leave
your hands there.
Speaker 8 (34:59):
No.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Because the issue is they want to save one.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
They don't want you to have good hygiene and clean
your hands because you need.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
More water to clean your hands. They're more worried about
saving water than they are you getting good clean hands?
It's selfish.
Speaker 7 (35:13):
What about when you go to a beach and you
push that button and you'll get like four seconds water?
Speaker 1 (35:17):
That sucks?
Speaker 2 (35:17):
Also? All right, what do we got?
Speaker 1 (35:21):
Let's go with Let's see here.
Speaker 11 (35:27):
Rory wants to know what is the longest you have
stayed in an all you can eat buffet?
Speaker 12 (35:33):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (35:34):
Well, I stayed long.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
I was at the Paris Hotel casino in Vegas years ago.
I stayed long enough. I thought I was going to
die in the hotel room that night because I had
eaten so much. But it was my gallblader. I was
there a long time. What about you already longest?
Speaker 6 (35:48):
I mean all the ones I've gone to, they usually
have like a time limit. It's like a lunchtime buffet.
Speaker 2 (35:55):
Like a twenty four second clock or something.
Speaker 6 (35:58):
I don't know. I mean a couple hours. I guess,
nothing too impressive.
Speaker 7 (36:04):
I feel like you're gonna get super full and then
you just want to go home and naps.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
So like, why would you stay there too long?
Speaker 2 (36:10):
I don't if.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
It's an all day thing that you can just I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
I've studied over the years, I've studied the buffet and
how they make money. And what they do is they
put the cheapest, most fattening food, right. They want you
to fatten up on stuff that's the least expensive. The
really expensive stuff, the steak, the turkey, the stuff that
costs some legitimate money is at the far end because
they know you're gonna be lazy and just go to
(36:37):
the first thing you see and then you'll you won't
stop eating because you'll be full.
Speaker 8 (36:41):
Well.
Speaker 11 (36:41):
Back in my gorging days, I went to the buffet
right before the switch over from lunch to dinner.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
Solid. Yes, both, yes, exactly both, Double your pleasure, double
your fun.
Speaker 2 (36:56):
Yep, all right, I have a question on asking why
the hell are there their foam dice?
Speaker 1 (37:03):
Is this Coveno and Rich?
Speaker 2 (37:04):
I'm guessing this is not like Rob Parker's fuzzy like foam.
Speaker 7 (37:08):
Hey, it's a Covena and Rich dice, the dice of love,
I think they call them or something.
Speaker 8 (37:12):
Is that right?
Speaker 1 (37:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (37:13):
Wow?
Speaker 11 (37:14):
All right, all right, We're gonna do two questions from
ferg Dog because they're good questions, man. The first one
is going to be do you find riding an airplanes
enjoyable or stressful?
Speaker 2 (37:24):
I hate going to the airport waiting to get on
the plane. Like, I don't mind when I have a seat,
if I have room, which is rare, I don't really
mind it. But everything about everything else about it, I hate.
It's very stressful, Eddie.
Speaker 6 (37:39):
Well as somebody who just uh uh, definitely stressful, never enjoyable.
Speaker 1 (37:45):
You always were gonna miss your flight and all that.
I worry about everything.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
Okay, I was saying.
Speaker 7 (37:50):
The only part I find enjoyable about flying is when
you're on the tarmac and you're speeding up, because I
find that to be very relaxing, and taking off otherwise,
the seats are very unco I feel like my spine
isn't bloating. After about two hours, everyone's but hurts. Fitting
is very weird. Literally, the only part of flying that
I don't find enjoyable is take off, the takeoff, because
(38:11):
it's like the inertia, you're like pulled back in the seat.
It's like that's that's the most likely.
Speaker 1 (38:16):
Time that you're going to crash. No, it's not seven.
It is when you're still on the ground.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
Though I was told pilot taking off and landings good.
The most dangerous part.
Speaker 6 (38:29):
The hardest landing I've ever been a part of, been
a part of In New York A seven seventy seven.
Speaker 1 (38:34):
The thing bounced landing four times.
Speaker 2 (38:36):
You need Sully Sulenburger or whatever his name was, to
land there in the Hudson.
Speaker 11 (38:40):
I guess it, man, all right. Another question for ferg dog.
If you accidentally burn a bagel or toast pretty badly,
do you still eat it like a man? Or do
you throw it out?
Speaker 1 (38:51):
I try to pick around the burn and eat it.
I try to salvage it, salvage.
Speaker 11 (38:56):
I'm like, I'm like, geddy, you got a serrated steak
knife and you send scraped out of scrape.
Speaker 2 (39:01):
No part of the bagel left behind. You know, if
it's assuming it's not burnt, you got it. You still
gotta go. If it's toast, you kind of got to
throw it away. Hard to salvage toast, but a bagel,
you can say, scrape over scrap
Hello and welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our number three, our three, piping hot out of
the oven, talking bays ball from the GM meetings in
Arizona where they were puking up a storm there. And
it is also where Scott Boris chimed in. Where are
you on Scott Borris's plan for a neutral site world
(00:24):
series that ruffled some feathers around the baseball world? Are
you buying the Dodgers is the favorite for show? Hey,
o'tani and how did you react to Ron Washington getting
the Angels job over Buck Showalter. We'll talk about that
and a whole lot more right now here. It is
(00:45):
our number three. It would be a world of change.
Welcme in the beginning of another hour of the Ben
Mather Show.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
We are in the everywhere, melting your.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Ears literally as we travel to uncharted islands of wisdom
and understanding, coast to coast, border.

(01:41):
tyraq dot com, The Way Tire Buying, shoe Hope all
is well with you. We go now travel to the
land of Baseball for some the most exciting time of
the year in baseball, the Hotstove League. It was not
the Hot Stove League this offseason so far. It was
the league as a number of baseball executives were puking
(02:03):
their gut side and they had a case.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Of Die Die diarrhea.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
At the GM meetings. There a illness going around well
at the GM meetings before they shut it down because
everyone was puking and pooping their pants. Scott Boris, it
was yep, it's that time of there. Scott Boris gave
his State of the Union address. He's the real commissioner
of baseball. They got that jellyfish, that spineless, toothless commissioner
(02:30):
in name only rob Manfraud, who allowed cheating to go
on under his nose and did not punish any of
the players who cheated the Astros. And because of that,
we have a void among world championships.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
We have a void.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
There's no World Series champion in twenty twenty two didn't
happen because of rob Manfrond, but Scott Boris, who represents
some of those cheaters as the number one power broker
in all of baseball, and not even close, right, it's
not even close. Rob Manford is demand when it comes
to that, and is much anticipated. November swore a with
(03:09):
the Baseball scribes. The thing that ruffled feathers the most
this is could get right to the lead here. Don't
bury anything else. The headline here changed to the World Series. Now,
if you didn't see this or didn't hear about it,
possibly not, Scott Boris suggested to the assembled Baseball scribes.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
He said, listen, the World Series.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
I'm looking at the World Series. The World Series should
be played at a neutral site every year, not when
there's a pandemic only every single year. That we should
just have it in a city and that'll be that.
And they can bid on the city, you know, the
cities can bid on it. Municipalities can bid on the
site to host the World Series. But that's what he wanted.
(03:52):
Now it has only happened once. That was during the
COVID pandemic in twenty twenty. In the one hundred and
twenty year history of the World Series, it has only
happened but one time, and so Boris is like, hey,
this is what they ought to do. So and that
upset people. People are like, oh, I can't believe this guy.
What a douchebag. You know, they were just killing him.
So let us discuss the question where are you at
(04:15):
on Scott Boris and his plan that he shared with
the class for a neutral a neutral site World Series.
So I've got Ronald Reagan, billboard, Hot one hundred and
lumber mill, and we will combine all of these things
together and we are going to make some teenage mutant
(04:35):
ninja turtles is what we're going to make. Why not?
All right? So, first of all, Scott Boris, I've known
him a little bit over the years. This guy loves,
absolutely relishes his time with the media at the GM
meetings in the winter meetings. This is his time to shine.
It's all about him. He's on the catwalk, he's doing
(04:57):
the pirouette and he's taking a bow and walking around
on like a peacock with his feathers up. I mean,
he's just it's all.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
About it, just loves it and everyone eats it up.
He is not.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
He's not come up with an original idea, meaning that
this is something he has brought up at least for
the last couple of years. We've talked about it on
the microphones of Fox Sports Radio. Scott Boris has mentioned
this in the past. He floats it on a yearly basis.
Now it's like the swallows returning to Capistrano or punk
Satani Phil in Pennsylvania. Will he see the shadow or
(05:34):
not from this side of the aisle. It doesn't make
sense right for baseball. For Scott Boris, it makes sense.
It's a self serving take. Scott Boris is like, Hey,
I'm looking out for Scott Boris. Look at how much
revenue the Super Bowl generates for cities and for the
NFL more importantly, but also look at the amount of
(05:55):
revenue like the Final Four Final Four weekend, whether it's
an inn Annapolis or Houston or LA or New York
or wherever there's money to be made, there's money to
be made. And by making the World Series a neutral
site event, in the mind of Scott Morris and others,
(06:16):
He's not the only one that has tossed this out.
You put it on a pedestal and when you put
something on a pedestal. It's kind of like if you've
ever taken a business class and studied human nature, like
I'm Chinese the right announs.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
But there's certain.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Products that really aren't worth that much. Like I'll tell you.
I'll tell you handbags, like high end women's handbags, they're
really not that different. You can buy a bag at
Target or Walmart and it's probably just as good as
the high end bag, but it doesn't have the name.
(06:53):
And if you charge more for something, people think it's
worth more. So the World Series, if you said, hey,
local hacked politicians, you have to pay us to host
the World Series, it has more hashe shall we see
you understand what I'm saying. You understand what say and
he stands the benefit? Right, It'll be head and shoulders
(07:16):
above everything else. And you would then activate what Ronald
Reagan was trying to sell back and they would trickle
down economics like baseball sells the World Series to Las
Vegas for two hundred million dollars and then that money
goes back into the game, and then eventually it trickles
down into the bank account of Scott Boris there in
(07:37):
Newport beach that it goes into the Boris compound and
and he gets some of that money more revenue. Corporate
America would spend more money, and it would all go
the way of baseball. And in the end, if you
were to have a neutral sete World Series, it would
suck because one of the cool things about baseball is
the quirks in the stadiums and that there's there's the
(07:58):
Green Monster in Finway, You've got the Ivy at Wrigley Field.
You've got these little, small, minute things that oftentimes turn
out to be big deals. And it's not the same
in every stadium. If you were to have a neutral
site World Series, assuming it's let's say you built the
stadium just for the World Series, I don't why you
do that, but you'd have like a generic stadium or
(08:19):
something like that. And who wants that? And do we
really want the World Series to be in? It would
be in the following cities. It'll be in Las Vegas,
Los Angeles, Miami. You have think baseball's played in late October.
They don't want to play in cold weather.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Dallas.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
We played in Dallas, Houston, possibly Houston, right, It was
not too bad there, but you're you're gonna eliminate the
usual sites of the World Series, like Boston's been in
the World Series a bunch of the last generation. The
Cubs have been to the World Series once in the
last one hundred and fifty years or whatever. Anyway, So
that's the take on that. Now, second, we move over
(09:01):
to the free agent sweepstakes. We read that the team
that is the favorite, the early favorite to win the
free agency in baseball. You know who the favorite is
to win free agency? The sho Heo Tani Sweepstakes.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
The Doyers.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Shocking, shocking, shocking, shocking, Yes, the Dodgers. According to DraftKings,
a big sponsor of Fox Sports Radio, they have the
Dodgers at minus one ten minus one ten, followed by
the Higantes the San Francisco treat at plus five hundred,
and they're pretty distant behind the Dodgers in terms of this.
(09:40):
The Mariners are also there. They're even with the Mets
and the Yankees. Others saying the Red Sox are in
the mix. But the odds here have the Dodgers way
out in front of everyone else. Are you buying the
Dodgers as the favorite for show?
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Hay Old Tani.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Angels. I don't see their page DW on page down.
I'm looking for the Angels list. All right, So are
you buying the Dodgers as the favorite for shoo Toddy?
I am okay, I'm nodding my head. Yes, I'll be
betting Bright's side of this. Now, here's what I know.
The gambling market is a pretty good indicator of what's
going to happen.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
It's not always right.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
They get some things wrong, but generally speaking, they have
a stake in it. They have a skin in the game,
so they're not going to futs around with the gambling numbers,
and so it makes sense. And everything I've heard from
the Dodger people is they didn't make any changes. They
were abject failures in the playoffs yet again, and they
(10:39):
were putting a body bag by an inferior team, the Diamondbacks.
And so you look at the Dodgers. They kept Dave Roberts.
They everyone in the front office is the same, So
they're going to keep on keeping on. And if you
do that, and you still want to charge outrageous amounts
of money for nachos and pretzels and all the crap
that they overprice at Dodger Stadium. You need to make
(10:59):
a splash. You've got to keep people engaged, keep people excited.
And so the Dodgers are going to climb on the
hot one hundred, the Billboard Hot one hundred, and they're
gonna go justin Timberlake from years ago, bring sexy back,
and Sho Hao Tani would be bringing sexy back. And
for him, he can stay at his house if he wants.
(11:20):
He lives in down on the OC and could commute.
If he has a helicopter, he could do that, or
maybe a motorcycle cut through traffic.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
All right, final fought.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
We stay where Shoeo Tani has played at the Big A,
the Whoa Begone Angels, stealing the headlines. A shot in.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
In the Way Back Machine. They went Way, way way back.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Ron Washington, Remember Ron Washington years ago got to the
World Series twice with the Rangers and then fell into scandal.
He's been coaching for the Atlanta Braves. Well, Ron Washington
is now the skipper. He's been giving the keys to
the clubhouse, the Kingdom, the early Gates. Ron Washington beating
out Buck Showalter, and he has taken.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Over in Anaheim. He will be the twenty third.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Different manager in Angel franchise history. So how did you
react to Ron Washington getting the Angel job over Buck Showalter.
So I'll go first. We talked about this in a
previous episode of the show, and I am surprised. I'm
not shocked, but I am surprised because side by side,
(12:29):
the easier hire was Buck Showalter. That's the easier hire.
But she went with Ron Washington. And there's a lot
of red marks near his name. They always like to
brag about a young man's game, and he's past the
age of seventy. I'm fine with that, but other people
get all freaked out to get the hebgbi's by that.
Washington also has had a case of, as Johnny Cash
(12:51):
would say, the cocaine blues back in the back in
the day. There've been some other scandals, some Tadrey endeavors,
taboo things that involved in But this is a nepotism situation.
Nepotism is undefeated, undefeated. Ron Washington worked with the Angels
GM in Texas and Atlanta before he became the Angels GM,
(13:12):
So it's better the devil, you know, and in this
case that would be Ron Washington, who by the way
uses that devilish charm to convince people that he's God's
gift to baseball.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
He's a nice guy.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
I don't I don't have I don't know anything much
about him. I've talked to him a few times over
the years. But Ron Washington, the way I would describe
Ron Washington is he could go into a lumber mill
and sell sawdust to the people running the lumber mill.
Like he's got that gift for gad right, he's got
that debonair state. And he's just like an old school
baseball guy, old school any X Dodger came up with
(13:46):
the Dodgers back and then Angel's hiring another ex Dodger.
But the baseball writers love him because he's a dial
a quote guy and he gives them a lot of
inside dirt. He gives the writers a lot of stuff
that they wouldn't have otherwise. And he works tirelessly and
all that. He's very players of him. And so he's
a raw rack kind of guy. And he'll paper over
the cracks in Anaheim. If he can pitch, that'll help.
(14:07):
And Ron Washington will be the fourth manager in six seasons.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
At the Big A.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Brad Austmas Joe Madden, Phil Nevin as they're still trying
to find their next Mike Soosha in Anaheim. And the Angels,
of course, still trying to find their way to the postseason.
They haven't been.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
There in a long time, twenty fourteen.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
I was a child in twenty fourteen, the last time
the Angels got to the playoffs. It is the Ben

Angels not only did they hire Ron Washington as the manager,
(26:16):
but he's put his coaching staff together and one of
the names that has been mentioned on the Angels coaching
staff is someone that I have a passed with many
many years ago. So of course, from my own interests,
I'm excited about this. You're probably have Ben Kennedy. No, oh,
Fox Sports Radios owned Kevin Kennedy. But no, this is
a guy. When I was a young kid reporter and
(26:37):
I was tasked with covering an Angel team that imploded
blew up. I think it was an eleven game lead
in August, gave it all back to the Seattle Mariners
and they could not win a game to save their life.
So I had to go into the locker room and
interview these idiots as they were losing every game. And
at one point, there was a player on the Angels
(26:58):
that died a couple years ago named Tony Phillips, who
got very upset with me because he was the only
guy that had any hits for the Angels I had
to interview. I asked, I just had to get like
a fifteen second sound bite, that's it. I just wanted
to get in and out. I didn't want to bother him.
I just needed a sound bite. I had my job.
I got paid like fifty bucks from the Associated Press
to get a SoundBite. So I went up to him,
(27:18):
asked him a couple of questions and he got so
upset with me that he wanted to fight me. And
the person that came over and put a stop to
that was Chili Davis. And Chili Davis is appaently going
to be the hitting coach for the Angels. So I
like Chili. I like who don't like you?
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Well, I like a beef chili, not a bean chili.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
I like the beef chill. Gotta have the beans. No
beef chilli chopped onion. Onion, of course onion, but beef,
no beans.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
Ben likes the beef.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
I'm all about the beef. I am also supposedly on
the Angels coaching staff. Tory Hunter. He played for the
two wins in the Angels for a lot of time.
So you've got Chili Davis, Tory Hunter, Eric young e Y,
who I also know you worked. He was on a
radio He did a radio show back in the back
in the day when I was doing stuff in l
(28:14):
A and Clint Hurdle, so all former Pirates and Rockies,
and he'll be the interim manager when Ron Washington does
that excite your coop? You got Clint hurdles. The bench coach.
You got e Y is the third base coach. Chilie
Davis is the hitting coach. I don't know who the
(28:35):
pitching coach is going to be.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
I love Tory Hunter. He was like one of my
favorite angels of all time.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Yeah, all right, well who the I don't see the
I don't see the pitcher, Ered Washburn will be the
pitching coach. Chuck Finley. They gotta bring Finley back. Bryan Finley,
Ron Romannick. They can bring Ron Romannequin and have him
be uh yeah, all right. It should just be like
the Red Sox won the World Series. They had fried
chicken and you know beer, So just have that as
(28:59):
the pitching coach, fried chicken and beer, you'll win the
World Series. John Lackey was part of that Red Sox
team when they were playing video games and all that
futsing around in the clubhouse. It's the ben Masha, what
why don't we start the festivities right now? What do
you say here? Strike up the band? I was saying,
let's get the party started right now.
Speaker 9 (29:16):
All time for Twitter.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Send us your questions on Twitter, no where we go.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
These are actual questions by actual listeners like yourself, send
a question in on ex hashtag ask Ben. Otherwise ferg
dog will bogart the entire segment. We now go over
to the Kooper loop for the reading of the questions.
All right, Ben, Yes, let's see. We're gonna start with
(29:50):
Lady Sideburns, one of my favorite women. Lady Sideburns, wants
to know when using public restrooms, do you flush with
your hand or your foot.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
I'm a foot I'm a foot guy.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
I am. I got a bit of a foot fetish
when it comes to that. I normally when it comes
to that, well, no, I like to use I got
long legs. I might as well use the long legs,
and I will. I will usually reach the foot.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
Over the toilet to flush the toilet.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
So that's my move.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Eddie, I use my hand.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
You're such a pig.
Speaker 6 (30:21):
I did have a nice lady walking on me while
I was using the restroom in New York.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
Oh, you were in the ladies room.
Speaker 6 (30:27):
No, it was one of those unisex bathrooms, and apparently
the lock did not work. Oh, surprise, surprise, surprise, locked
on in and I was like, Hi, there, she got
a show.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
What are you sitting? I was not sitting was standing
your pants.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
Around your ankles. Eddie were yeah, perhaps, wow, how about that?
Speaker 6 (30:49):
So I walked out said sorry, you had to see that,
and she laughed that it wasn't anything I haven't seen before.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
Yeah, she laughed at your private parts. That's all right,
I was Sam.
Speaker 7 (31:02):
It depends on the type of flusher. If it's one
of those like stick flushers, I'll use my foot. If
it's like it kind of a more intimate restaurant where
it has the normal kind of in home flusher, I'll
have to use my hand.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
That's a little more difficult.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Sometimes you still use your foot, you just got using
the tip of your your toes, but have movement. I
like the Costco toilets because those are really good for
your your foot because the stick their industrial strength toilets.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Well, yeah, sometimes you'll have those like real flushing hard.
That's usually this.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
It's a solid toilet, it's a it's a really good
but they spent a lot of money on toylets.
Speaker 7 (31:34):
Yet, what if it's one of those flat button ones
where you have to push you really can't use your foot.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
That's tough. Back of the ankle.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
I don't know about.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
I don't know, man, the local man was found in
the bathroom.
Speaker 12 (31:50):
Floor apparently flush the toilet cool please, I am a
foot flusher, yeah, uh air high five Cooper.
Speaker 11 (32:01):
Yeah, but I don't think I've ever seen a regular
home flusher out in a puppet mom and like Italians
because like I mean, not anytime lately, because like you said, nowadays,
it's got even even like home toilets have the buttons.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
Like, I gotta tell you another feature I like they
it's a left over from the COVID era. They have
the foot pedal you can pull the door open. Oh yeah,
I like that. Yeah, Like that's a.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
Major up You could wash your hands there, you know
what I mean.
Speaker 7 (32:31):
But obviously the sensor ones that the automatic flushers those
are sometimes but sometimes those flush too early and you're
like miving and you're like, I'm not ready to get
out of here yet.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
Alight, why don't we pause for the cost? You have
more of ass man. By the way, there's a major
upgrade that I don't think any of us have talked
about on the air here at Fox Sports Radio, and
we will address that. We'll get to it, all right, Well,
you might know what I'm talking about, maybe not but
we'll get to that and more of your questions hashtag

Speaker 2 (33:46):
Your questions are answers for the rest of the hour,
and back to the Cooper.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
Here's the question.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
Did I think Eddie noticed the that the don't say
that there is an upgrade to the building. Sam, did
you notice the upgrade that happened recently? To Fox Sports
Radio to the building in the building, in the building,
can you give me a hint? No, I don't think so, then.
Speaker 8 (34:11):
I do not.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
Can you do you notice anything different in the building?
Speaker 1 (34:17):
Nope, Eddie, new microwave. No, I think there is a
new microwave. No, in the bathroom we were washing. Yeah,
the foss that was like a couple of weeks ago. Yeah,
but it's relative.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
We haven't talked about it.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
This is a major change now. Actually, I don't know
if I like it. No, I like, I love it.
It's like the but.
Speaker 7 (34:38):
It takes forever for the hot water you get going anywhere,
So I don't need hot water, I know. But then
before you just would rub your hands.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
But it's terrible. You never get enough water. You gotta
put your hands back under the sensor, over and over.
It's the worst invention. The sensor on a faucet. So
it's a terrible invention because.
Speaker 11 (34:55):
If the point, no, it's stay on as you leave
your hands there.
Speaker 8 (34:59):
No.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Because the issue is they want to save one.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
They don't want you to have good hygiene and clean
your hands because you need.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
More water to clean your hands. They're more worried about
saving water than they are you getting good clean hands?
It's selfish.
Speaker 7 (35:13):
What about when you go to a beach and you
push that button and you'll get like four seconds water?
Speaker 1 (35:17):
That sucks?
Speaker 2 (35:17):
Also? All right, what do we got?
Speaker 1 (35:21):
Let's go with Let's see here.
Speaker 11 (35:27):
Rory wants to know what is the longest you have
stayed in an all you can eat buffet?
Speaker 12 (35:33):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (35:34):
Well, I stayed long.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
I was at the Paris Hotel casino in Vegas years ago.
I stayed long enough. I thought I was going to
die in the hotel room that night because I had
eaten so much. But it was my gallblader. I was
there a long time. What about you already longest?
Speaker 6 (35:48):
I mean all the ones I've gone to, they usually
have like a time limit. It's like a lunchtime buffet.
Speaker 2 (35:55):
Like a twenty four second clock or something.
Speaker 6 (35:58):
I don't know. I mean a couple hours. I guess,
nothing too impressive.
Speaker 7 (36:04):
I feel like you're gonna get super full and then
you just want to go home and naps.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
So like, why would you stay there too long?
Speaker 2 (36:10):
I don't if.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
It's an all day thing that you can just I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
I've studied over the years, I've studied the buffet and
how they make money. And what they do is they
put the cheapest, most fattening food, right. They want you
to fatten up on stuff that's the least expensive. The
really expensive stuff, the steak, the turkey, the stuff that
costs some legitimate money is at the far end because
they know you're gonna be lazy and just go to
(36:37):
the first thing you see and then you'll you won't
stop eating because you'll be full.
Speaker 8 (36:41):
Well.
Speaker 11 (36:41):
Back in my gorging days, I went to the buffet
right before the switch over from lunch to dinner.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
Solid. Yes, both, yes, exactly both, Double your pleasure, double
your fun.
Speaker 2 (36:56):
Yep, all right, I have a question on asking why
the hell are there their foam dice?
Speaker 1 (37:03):
Is this Coveno and Rich?
Speaker 2 (37:04):
I'm guessing this is not like Rob Parker's fuzzy like foam.
Speaker 7 (37:08):
Hey, it's a Covena and Rich dice, the dice of love,
I think they call them or something.
Speaker 8 (37:12):
Is that right?
Speaker 1 (37:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (37:13):
Wow?
Speaker 11 (37:14):
All right, all right, We're gonna do two questions from
ferg Dog because they're good questions, man. The first one
is going to be do you find riding an airplanes
enjoyable or stressful?
Speaker 2 (37:24):
I hate going to the airport waiting to get on
the plane. Like, I don't mind when I have a seat,
if I have room, which is rare, I don't really
mind it. But everything about everything else about it, I hate.
It's very stressful, Eddie.
Speaker 6 (37:39):
Well as somebody who just uh uh, definitely stressful, never enjoyable.
Speaker 1 (37:45):
You always were gonna miss your flight and all that.
I worry about everything.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
Okay, I was saying.
Speaker 7 (37:50):
The only part I find enjoyable about flying is when
you're on the tarmac and you're speeding up, because I
find that to be very relaxing, and taking off otherwise,
the seats are very unco I feel like my spine
isn't bloating. After about two hours, everyone's but hurts. Fitting
is very weird. Literally, the only part of flying that
I don't find enjoyable is take off, the takeoff, because
(38:11):
it's like the inertia, you're like pulled back in the seat.
It's like that's that's the most likely.
Speaker 1 (38:16):
Time that you're going to crash. No, it's not seven.
It is when you're still on the ground.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
Though I was told pilot taking off and landings good.
The most dangerous part.
Speaker 6 (38:29):
The hardest landing I've ever been a part of, been
a part of In New York A seven seventy seven.
Speaker 1 (38:34):
The thing bounced landing four times.
Speaker 2 (38:36):
You need Sully Sulenburger or whatever his name was, to
land there in the Hudson.
Speaker 11 (38:40):
I guess it, man, all right. Another question for ferg dog.
If you accidentally burn a bagel or toast pretty badly,
do you still eat it like a man? Or do
you throw it out?
Speaker 1 (38:51):
I try to pick around the burn and eat it.
I try to salvage it, salvage.
Speaker 11 (38:56):
I'm like, I'm like, geddy, you got a serrated steak
knife and you send scraped out of scrape.
Speaker 2 (39:01):
No part of the bagel left behind. You know, if
it's assuming it's not burnt, you got it. You still
gotta go. If it's toast, you kind of got to
throw it away. Hard to salvage toast, but a bagel,
you can say, scrape over scrap
