Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our dumbbird two, our two, and a happy twenty
fifth day of July to you here an hour number two.
We asked the question on the original Recipe podcast for
the Ben Mathers Show.

Speaker 1 (00:15):
We were up all night recording this.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
Are you surprised that Alex Korra agreed to an extension
as manager of the Red Sox? Also, did Rocky's pitcher
Cal Quantrill cross the line when he brought up Red
Sox catcher Rhyse Maguire's famous shall we say self manipulation
choking the chicken in the parking lot back in the day.

(00:37):
Also some rumblings that the Dodgers are going after out
here the Randia Rose Arena of the Tampa Bay baseball
team before the trade deadline. Does this make sense? We'll
talk about all that and more. Try not to have
dragon breath here. It is our number two. You are

(00:58):
not changing your saw snow, You're not. You're gonna wear
the same socks every day. Well come, in the beginning
of another hour of the Ben Malor Show. We are
in the air everywhere kindred spirits as we are on

(01:20):
a losing streak, trying to end that right now coast
to coast, border the border and beyond on the vast
and gigantically powerful microphones of fsr ammnating live from the zone,
the strike zone of the overnight. We're broadcasting live from

buying shure to be in our lead this hour from baseball,

(02:09):
talking bass ball, Why not any story that caught my
tod Now we're going to baseball, but we're not gonna talk.
It's about the Red Sox, but it's not about the game.
We'll get to that in a minute. All right, we'll
get to that in a minute. The actual game part
of it, we'll get to that coming up in a
little bit. But the Red Sox were crushed by the

(02:29):
Rockies twenty to seven, Random Wednesday, Mattinee. But the bigger
story involves the skipper. Now, if you didn't hear, maybe not,
Maybe you've been out of the loop or you're not
a baseball person. We learned that the Red Sox have
agreed on a new contract for manager Alex Corr, who
had been a lame duck. He gets a three year deal,

(02:52):
three year contract and that extension with the Red Sox
through twenty twenty seven. The deal's worth all most twenty
two million dollars, right, almost twenty two million dollars.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
So let us.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
Discuss the question, are you surprised that Alex Korra agreed
to stay with.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
The Red Sox.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
So I've got manifesto, opposition research, and panache, and we
will combine all of these things together and say where's
the beef.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
It's an old slogan and a commercial years ago. So
nu b W Yeah all right.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
Uh So, to answer the question, are you surprised by
the move of Alex Korra to stay with the Red Sox?
Of course this came out of left field. Here's why.
Alex Cora had been publicly flirting with the transfer portal
for many, many months, going back to February when he
showed up to spring training. He was the lamest of

(03:57):
lame ducks. Many believe that he had a wandering eye.
He was eyeing the Dodger job. If Dave Roberts pooped
his pants in the playoffs again, that that job would
be open. Several high profile jobs likely will open up,
although managers last longer.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
Than they used to.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
Right the Yankees with Aaron Boone in the old days,
he would have been fired four years ago. Dave Roberts
would have been out years ago. But these guys hang
around despite the mediocrity in the postseason. So in spring training, though,
here's my evidence. So Alex Corra would not commit to
wanting to return to Boston in twenty twenty five.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
So what changed, right?

Speaker 2 (04:37):
The thing that changed is what to me on the outside,
He got a seal of approval by Craig Breslow, the
new GM in Boston, and he took over in the offseason.
So he gave the endorsement and they met the terms. Also,
the most important part is not the endorsement. It is

(04:57):
that the terms of the ransom note were that Boston
ownership responded to an email manifesto from Alice Cora, and
he becomes the second highest paid manager behind Craig Council
of the Cubbies. With that twenty one point seven million
dollar contract. He gets that money. After back to back

(05:20):
last place finishes, the Red Sox finished the last the
last two years. Another cheater getting paid by the way,
Alice Cora, suspended by Major League Baseball for the twenty
twenty season, punished more than any of the players because
he was involved in the twenty seventeen Astros.

Speaker 1 (05:40):
Sign stealing scandals.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
So the greatest black guy in baseball, the greatest joke
of all jokes for rob Manford. And now one of
the guys that got suspended is rolling in new money.
He's rolling around in new money, laughing all the way
to the bank. Now, page two. In Red Sox blowout
loss to the Rockies. They gave up twenty runs. Now,

(06:03):
normally I would not talk about a Wednesday Rockies Red
Sox game.

Speaker 1 (06:07):
Why would we. Something good has to happen. Something good
did happen.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
Bench is cleared in the fourth inning of that matinee
at Coors Field. This after a Canadian pitcher named cal
Quantrell of Colorado. He got out of a two out
jam in the in that fourth inning there he induced
a flyout from a fly out to center by Boston's
Reese maguire, And that is when things got cranked up.

(06:35):
A couple of notches and went personal and went completely
off the reservation during the bench clearing moment, because you see,
if you saw the clip, you know what I'm talking about.
But maybe you haven't seen him, maybe you're blind. So
after getting the fly ball, Quantrell yelled and lifted up
his leg. He was so excited he got that out.
Oh my god, you played for the Rockies. It's the

(06:56):
little things in life. So Quanto's all excited, and then
that upset McGuire because how dare you show me up?

Speaker 1 (07:02):
You can't show me up. You're the picture for the Rockies.
Come on.

Speaker 2 (07:05):
So the Red Sox catcher then stopped running and started
going towards. He was going towards for his space, but
he turned his attention to the starting pitcher. And that
is where the lip readers came in. That is where
the lip readers have determined beyond a reasonable doubt that
the following was said. Now I'm gonna clean this up
for the radio. Otherwise I'm get in trouble. And I

(07:26):
don't want my bosses to call me during the day.
That's the one thing I don't want, so col Quantrell
of the Rockies again, this is the radio edit. The
radio edit, he said it McGuire, you polished the banister
in an effing parking lot, You dumb cluck like.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
A chicken, is what he said. I think that's radio friendly. Yeah,
So the question did.

Speaker 2 (07:47):
The Rockies picture cal Quantrell cross the line when he
brought up that the Red Sox Reece McGuire had a
very famous self manipulation we'll call it in the parking
lot a couple of years back. So my response to
this is, no lies were detected, right. I used to
Mallard Lie detective test that were no lies. All is

(08:08):
fair in love in baseball rhubarbs, and I will tell
you this is tremendous opposition research by cal Quantrill. This
happened during the pandemic time. Twenty twenty was when this happened.
But he followed the scouting report because four years ago
a lot of people didn't hear this because they were
worried about other stuff. But McGuire was arrested. I guess

(08:31):
you could say he was celebrating Palm Sunday in a
parking lot near the Blue Jays spring training facility. He
was enjoying his pickle. A listener to the show in
the Boston area. I don think he's actually in Boston proper,
but he's in the suburbs there and he listens to
the show.

Speaker 1 (08:49):
He says he also.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
Hears their big show Felger and maz And on the
sports up there, and he says that their nickname on
that show for Reese McGuire, I think it's, if this
is true, one of the great nicknames of all time,
the Carjacker. I think that is a great nickname, just wonderful,
so one of the all time greades. But anyway, that's
the back and forth between Cal Control and Reese maguire.

(09:13):
A final point, we go to La La Land is
where we go. Trade deadline is next week. The trade
deadline is next week. We're five days away now from
the trade deadline. And there are some rumlings in my
belly that the Doyers, who are being no hit for

(09:33):
seven innings, the Doyers against the Giants, the Dodgers are
going after Tampa Bay outfielder Randy A. Rose Arena before
the deadline. Does that make sense to you?

Speaker 1 (09:47):
So?

Speaker 2 (09:47):
Not eighty percent, not eighty five percent, how about one
hundred percent?

Speaker 1 (09:52):
I fully fully give the rubber.

Speaker 2 (09:56):
Stamp on the Dodgers making this move, and this would
be one of the few moves that would make me smile.

Speaker 3 (10:02):
Right.

Speaker 1 (10:03):
Uh yeah.

Speaker 2 (10:03):
Now, I realize that Randy Rose Arena of the Rays
has been absolute dog food most.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
Of this season.

Speaker 2 (10:10):
He is down near the Mendoza line, but I still
want him in Dodger blow. And here's why the Dodgers
are being judged solely on the postseason. All these regular
season games are nice, but they don't matter. It's all
about the postseason. That's the judgment day for the Dodgers.
And I look at Randy A Rose Arena. This guy's
got panache. He's got that Gennesi quah right. He brings

(10:32):
a certain razmataz with him. Now, the Dodgers already have
one of those guys that they added this offseason. Not Otani,
by the way, because we don't know what Altani's gonna be,
But they got another guy on a one year deal
on the outfield who is one of the top RBI
guys at baseball, who is right there, who I trust
that he'll hit in the playoffs. But Randy Rose Arena

(10:53):
in his career is a three thirty six hitter in October. Okay,
so I want that. I want the guy on my
team if I'm the Dodgers. He's styling and profiling in
big games. That's what you need, right, He's not nervous,
he doesn't have tight took his syndrome, he doesn't have
the flop sweat in big games. I want that guy,

(11:13):
even having a miserable season. And when you cross examine
what he's done in the playoffs, and then I look
at you know, the big star of the Dodgers signed
years ago, and Randy rose Arena has been the antithesis
of Mookie Bets. You know, Mookie Bets the last three
years in playoff baseball is batting two thirty six.

Speaker 1 (11:33):
That is one hundred points lower than Randy A. Rose Arena.
One hundred points.

Speaker 2 (11:38):
So yes, you go out and get that guy. If
Tampa's willing to trade him, and they'll trade anybody. They're
not committed to keeping anybody. The rais oh, you know,
just temporary there in Tampa. No one's there for the
long term. But that guy, Randy rose Arena. I to me,
he's got that DNA. Now, it doesn't guarantee anything. He
could go to the Dodgers and bat two hundred like
these other stiffs were the Dodgers, But I take my chance.

(12:00):
Is a guy that's got that little pop to his game,
That's what I want. It is the Ben Malor Show.

ever had petl pig steets. My mom was she was
pregnant with me, used to eat a lot of petrol
pig speets, which which be kind of weird and different.

Speaker 8 (18:59):
Do you have to eat like a chicken wing?

Speaker 1 (19:00):
Though you know where you like bite around the edges?

Speaker 7 (19:03):
Well you get them hot and spicy, hot, spicy.

Speaker 1 (19:08):
I don't know they sounded, James, they sound disgusting. What
do you want? I mean, it sounds terrible.

Speaker 7 (19:14):
About Loredo, But you know what my mom told me
what she was to rape them. But I came up
weird because with Aye Weaver, attorney's a thrillertive slipped a
mickey in one of my brinks. Saint Paul girl, he
raped me. He raped me that I was raped at
one time. I'm down the virgin anymore.

Speaker 1 (19:36):
But he used to James, you're on the air, James,
you're talking on the air here, James, I am. It's okay.
But I don't him.

Speaker 7 (19:44):
But you know what I didn't know. You know why
because he took it upon his own self to use.

Speaker 2 (19:51):
His I'm gonna go thank you, James, all right, buddy,
thank you buddy James in the world.

Speaker 1 (19:57):
I don't know what that was. I don't know. I
don't know. It's not a full moon. We're past the
full most.

Speaker 6 (20:04):
Some of our special listeners can't say something that you know,
makes us uh wow. So he began, I didn't think
there was anything that they could say that would really
uh it.

Speaker 1 (20:15):
Was better enough.

Speaker 2 (20:16):
And he began that call talking about pickles pig feet,
and then he, uh, well, I guess will that be
in the podcast or will that not be in the podcast?
I don't know, it'll be in the podcast. Everything is
pretty much in the podcast. That's how we get the
downloads up. The unedited version of the show.

Speaker 1 (20:30):
Is in the podcast.

Speaker 2 (20:32):
Yeah, I mean he didn't name the person's full name, right,
so we can put that in the podcast, right, I
think we can. We're good, right, think so yeah, that
should be fine in the podcast. Yeah, And he said,
I think of first name, but that's it. So all right, Well,
thank you James, yet again you have wowedest. Yes, not
in a good way, but no, no, yeah, all right.

Speaker 1 (20:54):
He's in the hospitals on different meds.

Speaker 2 (20:56):
I don't know anyway made the season form that would
be the Angels Mike Trout, who was taken off of
his rehab assignment, did not make it through his first
game in Salt Lake. A knee injury for Mike Trout,
and he is back where he always is. He's been

(21:17):
out since April twenty ninth, a torn meniscus. He left
the rehab assignment with the Salt Lake Bees on Tuesday.
He started in center field play just two innings.

Speaker 1 (21:30):
That's it. Two innings. He left the game with left
knee soreness.

Speaker 2 (21:34):
The manager of the Angels, Ron Washington, saying that Trout
was feeling better and had hope that he would be
able to be in the lineup on Wednesday as the
DH but he was on a plane back to southern
California for further evaluation. Hey, good job, Mike Trout. Greatest
player of all time, he told me five years ago. Surefire,

(21:56):
first ballot Hall of Famer. Sure he is a couple
of MVP awards, three of them in fact, eleven All Star.

Speaker 1 (22:01):
Teams and a body of the might as well be
Kawhi Leonard. At this point, Oh my god, what happened?
Where did that go bad? Where did that go bad?
My goodness?

Speaker 2 (22:14):
Now I mentioned the cal Quantrill story as he had
some very spicy words to say for Reese McGuire, and
he was asked after the game about the confrontation, which
we talked about and very easy to read the lips
on what he said not that hard and maguire was
asked about it. Now, did he a say, oh, yeah,
I said what I said, be no comment or see

(22:37):
something totally different.

Speaker 1 (22:39):
Well, here's what he said, Rocky spitcher.

Speaker 2 (22:41):
Cal Quantrell said, quote, I recognize we were up whatever
we were up by. I celebrate when I get important outs,
and he meaning Reeese maguire took offence to it.

Speaker 1 (22:54):
Some words were exchanged. That's baseball. We all move on. Yeah,
I should say that when my bosses called me up.
You know, I don't know about that. That monologue. That's
just radio. That's radio. That's all it is. It's just radio.
We're doing radio. It's talk radio. That's all it is.

Speaker 2 (23:15):
Why do you do that, Ben, talk radio? That's why
I did it for talk radio. That's why I did it.

Speaker 1 (23:20):
Talk radio. Yeah, does that work? It's baseball. It's like
we used to mock when I did the Blitz with
Looney on the weekends, we did a football round Robin
Show for like seven hours every NFL Sunday for years, and.

Speaker 2 (23:35):
We would always mock the catchphrase that guy's a football player, right,
that guy's a football Well, they're all football players. That's
just baseball. Well, everything's baseball, anything that happened in baseball anyway.

Speaker 3 (23:48):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.

Speaker 7 (23:54):
Now.

Speaker 6 (23:54):
The opening ceremonies the Olympics coming up on Friday in Paris,
but some events have already gotten underway, including the US
men's soccer team being shut out in their opening match
as they lost to the host country France one nil.

Speaker 2 (24:08):
All right, very good, thank you for that, Eddie. We're
gonna have a fun fact coming up in a moment.
But first, you know, I got something to tell you,
Absolutely I do. And here what am I gonna tell you? Yeah,
that's right, that is one hundred percent cent?

Speaker 1 (24:20):
Correct? Are you ready for a new job?

Speaker 2 (24:22):
Let Express Employment Professionals help. Express is hiring for jobs
in a variety of industries and job seekers never pay
a feed Express check out expresspros dot com. Define your location.
That's expresspros dot com.

Speaker 1 (24:37):
Fun fact we go.

Speaker 2 (24:39):
To baseball where the Kansas City baseball team earlier this
week fired as starting.

Speaker 1 (24:45):
Pitcher Jordan Lyles.

Speaker 2 (24:48):
This could be the end of Jordan Lyles's career, and
if it is, they should write a book on how
to embezzle money out of baseball. Jordan Lyles has a
negative minus twop joint five war that's wins above replacement,
meaning if my math is correct on this, he's like
two and a half players worse than just average. But
yet he has earned over fifty million dollars from different

(25:11):
baseball teams. And in his career he has led baseball
in not one, not two, not three, not four, not five,
how about six categories? Now, the only good category would
be complete games. He did lead baseball with complete but
he only had three it doesn't seem that many. But

Speaker 4 (29:39):

Speaker 11 (29:40):
The Giants suck right, the Warriors is doing whatever you

Speaker 7 (29:44):
Klay Thompson is.

Speaker 11 (29:45):
Going, Trent Williams has now said he wants some more money,
and the Nineers is dealing with Brandon and you. Man,
You're the only one I could call. Man. I'll be
up all night man thinking about all this stuff. Man,
I need you being How can you what I what
can I do?

Speaker 2 (30:03):
You can stop watching sports filmore Mike, you can do
something else with you No, uh no, here.

Speaker 1 (30:08):
The problem of the Niners is they've had a lot
of success. You know this fillmore Mike, right.

Speaker 2 (30:12):
They haven't won the super Bowl in this era, but
they've been in the super Bowl a few times.

Speaker 1 (30:16):
And this is what pat Riley always talks about, the
disease of me. Right. Everyone wants to get paid their money.
I get it.

Speaker 2 (30:20):
The NFL makes a lot of money. And so the
Williams thing, that's not that hard because we'll talk about
that later. Actually, because you can, you can crank up
a little extra money. They're giveing more guaranteed money and
he'll he'll probably refine. I don't know what you do
with Brandon Ioviel because he's like the fourth option on
the team behind Deebo.

Speaker 1 (30:38):
Samuel is number two.

Speaker 2 (30:40):
McCaffrey's number one, and then when George kittles Helsey, he's
number three. So how much how are you gonna pay
number the number four guy that kind of money?

Speaker 1 (30:48):
That's a tough one.

Speaker 12 (30:49):
More micgreen Blood, I swear to God, but we the
thing is being the Niner fans and is weird because
I'm thirty nine, right, Ben, so I'm from the era
when people used to say, oh, when the Niners go
to the Super Bowl, we don't lose. But for like
a lot of younger fans, that's twenty six, twenty five,

(31:09):
and none of the twenty seven. They ain't seen the greatness.
They don't know the history. All they've been seeing.

Speaker 11 (31:15):
Is defeat, defeat, defeat, defeat.

Speaker 12 (31:17):
And it's sort to get to that point big where
it's like, man.

Speaker 11 (31:20):
We gotta teach something.

Speaker 1 (31:22):
We gotta win a Super Bowl this year.

Speaker 11 (31:24):
Man, we don't win it this year.

Speaker 12 (31:26):
I don't know what's gonna happen being but it ain't Ben.

Speaker 11 (31:29):
You know, I love you, but you gotta keep rocking
them Kangos like you've been rocking. I've seen you on.

Speaker 7 (31:35):
Left.

Speaker 1 (31:36):
I didn't I might have given you a shout out
on that. I don't know. All right, I thank you
for the great fillmore.

Speaker 2 (31:41):
Mike checking in from the base of this wild story
real quick, from the Big ten half the media Day?

Speaker 1 (31:48):
Where were these these in Chicago? Where were the Big Day?

Speaker 2 (31:50):
I don't know what it was, but I saw this
clip of so you see a football coach Kasehawn Foster and.

Speaker 1 (31:57):
Who special bonus really looks out of his eli really
look that he's a new coach.

Speaker 2 (32:02):
Chip Kelly swidth to be the officeletor Ohio State to
hear it. So Deshaun Foster gets the opportunity.

Speaker 1 (32:06):
Okay, good for him, right the machine so here now
Boiler Place. It's all ABC one, two three at these
media days. I've been to him in the past. Basketball.
I haven't been one of these things in years, but
back when I went.

Speaker 2 (32:18):
It's all scripted, it's all planned out, everything's climbed out,
and so what generally happens is the big name head
coach gets up at the dais and makes about a
ninety second opening statement to dazzle the media and the
fans and the future players about how great their program
is and how wonderful everything is, and how they're going
to have a great season. They're going to win the conference,

(32:40):
and they're gonna go to a great bowl game and
everything's going to be rainbows and lollypos.

Speaker 1 (32:44):
That's usually how it does.

Speaker 2 (32:45):
It's all bulka, it's all bulk, it's all wise. But
it's ninety seconds of you speaking publicly. And I know
public speaking is not easy. I get it, even though
I do this radio show. When I speak in public.
It's very odd.

Speaker 1 (32:56):
It's awkward for me, but if you're the head coach,
it's something that you have to do.

Speaker 2 (33:01):
So Deshaun Foster was was up in the dais gave
his opening statement and he said, football wise, we're just excited.
I'm sure you guys don't know too much about u
c l A our football program, but we're in l A.
It's Austin, USC, he said, I'm just basically excited.

Speaker 1 (33:23):
Really, that's it.

Speaker 6 (33:28):
It was way worse than that.

Speaker 1 (33:30):
Good. Well, do we have it, Eddie?

Speaker 7 (33:33):
I have no?

Speaker 1 (33:35):
Do we have We can play it if you want.
I mean, let me see if I can find it.
Got it here? All right? I see if you can
play play it? There you go, There we go. Let's
see we can hear it.

Speaker 13 (33:46):
Glad to be a part of this great conference, finally
put in two great emblems together U c.

Speaker 1 (33:54):
L A and a Big Ten.

Speaker 13 (33:57):
Where a school that's won what one and twenty threeampionship?
So this fits us being right in this conference. Football wise,
which is excited. You know, I'm sure you guys don't
know too much about UCLA but our football program, but
we're in LA. It's us in USC.

Speaker 1 (34:25):
We oh no, no, no drowning.

Speaker 13 (34:36):
I'm just basically excited.

Speaker 1 (34:37):
Really, that's a lifeguard man questions.

Speaker 2 (34:45):
I left out the pause, but you're true, that's correct.
I tried to clean it up a little bit for him,
but the pause. Oh my god, Wow, that is that's
a tough one. That is a tough one. Now, if
he goes out and wins a bunch of games, it
doesn't matter. But it sounds like he had never done
that before. It seems like that was completely foreign to them.

Speaker 3 (35:04):
Anyway.

Speaker 1 (35:05):
It is the Benmahlor Show. We are going to have
Mallard of the third degree. Here's the inster Trivia.

Royal Star Bobby Witt Junior has sixteen hits over his
first six games following the All Star Game. Only Blank
has had more.

Speaker 1 (35:21):
In baseball history.

Speaker 2 (35:22):
Again, Bobby Witt Junior the Royals has sixteen hits over
his first six games following the All Star Game. Only
Blank has more in baseball history in that stretch.

Speaker 1 (35:32):
That is the Innstert Tribute. The answer neet.

Speaker 1 (36:14):
Trivia.

Speaker 2 (36:15):
Bobby Wood Junior the Royals has sixteen hits over his
first six games following the All Star Break. Only Blank
had had more in MLB history, The only one guy
that's had more.

Speaker 1 (36:26):
That is the question. What is the answer, And we'll
see if anyone he knows who the answer is.

Speaker 2 (36:34):
Mike is going with, what is that? Reggie Jackson? Yes,
that's that's a name name from the past. Who else
do we have?

Speaker 1 (36:44):
Page down? Page Down?

Speaker 2 (36:46):
Buddy Biancaalana guest by Steve Billy Wagner, who's fifty three today,
from the Late Night Drug Tester.

Speaker 1 (36:52):
Who else do we have? Page at each row from.

Speaker 2 (36:54):
Matthew Warrior Raider, Tom Brady Roast Pickle fan Show, Hayes
Bookie from Alf the Alien Opiner, Paige Down page down
and Miss Rafferty from Milkman Mike in Colorado, garth Orge
from econ, Roseville, Minnesota.

Speaker 1 (37:10):
What's that you Addy? Quick Way?

Speaker 6 (37:11):
Let's go with former Tiger's all star third Basement brandon ing.

Speaker 2 (37:15):
Now you should have gone with an iconogna from nineteen
thirty eight Wally Berger.

Speaker 1 (37:20):
Wally Berger answer, everyone loves a burger. I hope he
was a cheese burger or veggie Berger. I didn't have
those in nineteen thirty eight. Here we go. It's maller.
How about that?

Speaker 3 (37:31):
To the third degree? This is one Big Ben gets grilled.

Speaker 1 (37:37):
Gooblop Ben.

Speaker 8 (37:39):
On Monday, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy confirmed that talks
of the Sixers coming to the state are real and
not just rumors. Then what do you think the chances
of this actually happening are?

Speaker 1 (37:50):
I think there's they'll be.

Speaker 2 (37:51):
They'll still call themselves the Philadelphia seventy sixes, But it's
like the Royal or it's like the Royals and the Chiefs.
They're going to build the stadium in Kansas, but it's
literally across the Worday from where they play right now,
So it's the same thing. I've been to Philadelphia before,
and they'll play in southern New Jersey right across the
water there.

Speaker 1 (38:07):
And it won't really change much anything.

Speaker 2 (38:09):
They'll just get a better deal on a stadium and
I have the taxpayers build the stadium next.

Speaker 11 (38:14):
Now.

Speaker 8 (38:14):
Eddie reported yesterday that Mike Trout left his rehab start
after two innings due to a sore knee. You just
talked about it. Yeah, how much do you think Trout's
injuries will affect his legacy?

Speaker 2 (38:24):
It'll be one of those things baseball riders. They romanticize
the fact, Oh, if only he had stayed healthy, he'll
give him a pass, if only he stayed healthy, et cetera,
et cetera, et cetera. But since he signed the contract,
it's been a debacle.

Speaker 9 (38:36):
Next.

Speaker 8 (38:37):
Titans head coach Brian Callahan recently said that he views
Tajy Spears and Tony Pollard as two starters.

Speaker 1 (38:43):
But do you think the Titans will miss Derrick Henry
at all?

Speaker 2 (38:46):
Well, they'll miss the fact that he's his star and
people liked him and they knew who he was, and
these other guys are not as well known. But in
terms of the football stuff, I don't it's not gonna
matter much at all. How did we go pass this
edition that is a lie? Thepar like Wally Berger,
