Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our numbber three talking ball baseball.
So what basket do you file? The braves wit Meryfield
rant about baseball's pathetic pitching. Also, are we going to
see another rule put into baseball when it comes to
(00:21):
batters being hit by pitches?
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Stay tuned, we'll get to that.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
And can you decode what Aaron Boone means when he
says the Yankees will get creative with the closer role? Plus,
how does the plan to dump the NCAA for a
new regulatory structure of college football sound to you? We'll
go there as well. All of it's coming your way
(00:46):
right now here. It is our number three. A bravo
kind of a rant, Well gum. In the beginning of
another hour of the Ben Maler Show. We are in
the air everywhere, neighboring as we are, party ready, always
(01:09):
party ready. Here at the audio Doojoe coast to coast, border,
the border and beyond on the bast and snazzily powerful
microphones of fs are emmading live from the frogs, the
frogs who are croaking in the lagoon, which means rain

(01:53):
Tom mister Galloway from Texas. He finally watched Benny Versus.
He said that I suck at television and he likes
the radio show better because it's four hours and the
TV show is only thirty minutes.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
But thirty minutes of TV time.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
I've learned this from doing the TV show last year.
In this year, thirty minutes of TV time is equivalent
to four hours of radio time. It's the same thing.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Yeah, yeah, the whole deal. All right, sorry, lead this.
We're gonna change it up. Go to baseball.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
I know, football seasons beginning tonight in Kansas City. We'll
get back to the NFL, but we start in the
atl where the Elambrits are in a dog fight with
the Metropolitans to make the playoffs. Down the stretch we come.
We're into September here. Baseball playoffs start in October. And
in the middle of all of this, in the middle
of all this one of the grizzled veterans in Georgia
(02:47):
had a mini meltdown mini meltdown this week. If you
didn't hear about it, maybe not. We've got the audio
we're gonna play here in a secon so w Meryfield,
a longtime Cannesau City Royal with Merryfield, was hit by
an errant fastball.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
It happened the other.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Night, and he then unloaded on the pathetic state of
big league pitching, saying that something terrible is going to happen,
and he recommended the sport reintroduce rules to adjudicate pictures
that are wild with their control. So I can give
(03:28):
you the whole thing, but why don't you take a
listen for yourself. Let's go to the audio tape.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
The way the way pictures are throwing. Now there's no
remorse for the part.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Of her guard for throwing helping end.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
The guys are throwing as hard as again, and they
don't care where the ball goes, and it's it's it's
it's just there's they.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Could have pulled something, hit a guy anymore bad.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
There's no fear of that. Oh if I hit this guy,
our guy's going to get hit.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
That's not the game anymore.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
Pittures don't have to hit anymose, they don't have to
stand in the box. And the teams are bringing pictures up.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
They don't know what balls going.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
They throw one hundred miles an hour. So we're like,
all right, we'll see if you can get the guys out.
Just set up down the middle and throw its hards again.
And it's driving me nuts. I hate where the game's
at right now with that. And I'm on the rules
committee and we got to call tomorrow and it's it's
gonna be a long conversation on what we gotta do to.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Make pictures think about. I just took ninety five right
off the head.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
I'm very lucky that it got me in a good spot.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
And I gotta go get a cast game. I'm out
of the game. He gets to stay in the pitch.
I'm probably not gonna be able to play tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
No repression on his part.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
And all right, So that was wit Marryfield. That was
not the bite that I had hoped we would play.
The bite I wanted was a little shorter, but we
got the full extended dance remix for some reason. So
let us discuss the question what basket? What basket do
you file? The commentary you just heard from the Braves
wit Maryfield his rant about the put what's that?
Speaker 3 (05:00):
State?
Speaker 2 (05:00):
A big league pitching?
Speaker 1 (05:02):
So I've got spinach, Indiana, Jones and diagnosis, and we'll
combine all of these things together and make a properly
edited sound bite.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
I don't know what I have to do around here
to get properly hitted sound bites. I don't know. Maybe
I'll have to do it myself.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
So, first of all, a wit Merryfield got on the
bully pulpit and unloaded, right, he unloaded. Now there was
only one profanity. I would have preferred a bleep more
than the silence. It's more funny, it's more entertaining, more
engaging when you hear a bleep listening to audio content
rather than.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Just a pause. But this was a therapeutic RNT. Obviously.
If you know this, it's been a long season.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Wit Maryfield started with the Philadelphia Phillies and sucked so
much the Phillies said bye bye, a byproduct of his
overall batting average of two nineteen. Now, Merryfield, what he
did here in the cartoon bubble in my head is
he grabbed the entire can of spinach, and he then
(06:03):
puffed on his pipe and he went popey the sailor man.
That's all I can stands, and I can't stands no more.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
And as a result, now.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Witt Merryfield predicted that Major League Baseball's Competition Committee, who
he's a part of, will put some rules in and
he believes that's going to happen by next season.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
There will be rules. Now, how exactly is this going
to work?
Speaker 1 (06:28):
How do you determine when a ball just got away
from the pitcher and when did the picture intentionally throw
or does it matter? We'll have to get the particulars
on this now. But I do agree with wit Merryfield
and his commentary that the competition Committee will have a
rule in place to deal with batters that get hit.
(06:52):
Of course, they will have to factor in that a
number of batters get hit because they crowd the plate
and as a result, they are more pro to get hit.
But the reason this is all going to happen, there'll
be more rules in baseball, is because the jack Wagon commissioner,
Rob manfraud.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
This is his solution to everything. This is the corporate
world that he is from.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
He's a lawyer, he's a labor lawyer that just stayed
at Major League Baseball, worked his way all the way
up to the top, the Peter principal, Peter Principal commissioner.
But rather than have players in that sport of baseball
handled their business on the field among players the way
that it had been done for one hundred and twenty
plus years, No, no, no, that's not good enough, not
(07:38):
good enough. So Rob Manfred says, no, no, we got to
get a blue ribbon panel together, and we've got to
add bureaucracy here, bureaucracy there, pureaucracy everywhere, wash rints and repeat.
You think how the sports think. Ghost Runners still in baseball?
(07:58):
For god's sakes, ghost the games are going too long.
We need to add the ghost runner. They did the
ghost runner thing. You can't take out the second basement,
cannot do it, can't take down down the catcher at
home play. These are all Rob Manford creations, right. And
he was there at the Commissioner's office, whether he was
the commissioner or the deputy commissioner when all that stuff happened.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Now, secondly, let's visit the zoo.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
The Bronx, who where manager Aaron Boone and the New York.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Yankees are having major issues with their bullpend.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Boone said he's going to quote get creative and consider
several options at Closer. Now Clay Holmes, what up Holmes?
Clay Holmes is still in the mix. According to Aaron Boone,
he wanted you to know they still support They're in
battle Closer the New York Yankees. So can you decode
what Aaron Boone means when he says the Yankees will
(08:52):
get creative with the Closer roll? What exactly does he mean?
All Right, so I will break this down. I'll explain
this you like you're five years old. Aaron Boone is
channeling a classic Hollywood movie Indiana Jones. He's making it
up as he goes, which really upsets the nerds. The
(09:13):
nerds don't like this at all. The nerd army, the
parade of nerds that follow Brian Cashman around are not
gonna like this. Mariano Rivera is not walking through that door.
And if he does, as Rick Patino would tell you,
he's going to be gray and old. And so they
have no plan. They can't trade for anybody. The deadline
has already passed, and so for now Aaron Boone is
(09:37):
going to actually have to manage He's unless the nerds
just tell him who to pitch that day. But I
assume he's going to have to go into the back
of the refrigerator, go through the tupperware in the back
of the fridge. You take out the leftover spaghetti and
the meatballs. You got some rice over here, maybe some
orange chicken, and you mix them all together and you
(09:57):
make dinner.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
And that's what going to have to do at the
end of games.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
For the Yankees, and the playoffs are a month away,
all right, final thought, we pivot away from baseball. We
go to Washington, DC, Capitol Hill. So I read this
and I'm trying to process it. I read that on
the eve of some hearings, the NCED Double A's house
settlement hearings, which are taking place the leaders of college sports,
(10:24):
the big kahunas that take all this money at universities
and then God only knows where the money goes. They're
working to establish a new what they're calling a regulatory structure.
A regulatory structure, not the NCED Double A. So it'll
be something else to manage slash inforce a revenue sharing
(10:45):
model across college sports. So third party agencies are being
vetted right now, and they hope to have a plan.
So how does this plan to dump the NCED double
A for some kind of new regulatory structure for college sports,
mainly college football and basketball. How does this sound to you?
So the Malard diagnosis on this, the cure is worse
(11:10):
than the disease.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
You ever heard that?
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Right, You get sick and the medicine's worse for you
than the actual illness.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
That's what this sounds like to me. Maybe I'm reading
it wrong. I don't think I am.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
The NC DOUBLEA started out with good intentions. There were
people dying, the Flying Wedge, schools were getting rid of football.
At one point, college football was bigger than every other sport,
and so the president put a panel together and it
wasn't even called the NC DOUBLEA at first.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
They changed the name of it to the NC DOUBLEA
over time, and.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
It started out as just a benign operation, and over time,
like everything just like this country started, America started because
people came over and wanted to get rid of the
draconian taxation and all that in Europe, and so now
we have the same thing they have there.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
We just took a couple hundred years and then here
we are and.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
The NC double A. You can get rid of the
NC double A. But it's gonna backfile fire horribly because
given a finite amount of time, the same damn thing's
gonna happen again. That they'll start out saying, when does
it want to be hands off? We don't want to interfere,
and then they'll add more rules and regulations, and then
Congress will get involved and the floodgates are open. It's
(12:25):
off to the races. It's off to the races, all right.

Boloney is not a traditional Irish food, so I don't

Meller Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.

you know who Jeff Landry is? Governor Jeff Landry.
Speaker 2 (25:03):

Speaker 5 (25:04):
No it does not. The son of Tom Landry.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Yeah, sure, just go with that.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Now, Jeff Landry is the governor of the Great State
of Louisiana. How come every politician says the great state?
Every state's the great state?
Speaker 5 (25:17):
Right?
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Anyway, He's the governor of Louisiana.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Does our friend Chris Landry still live Remember the old
football scouts love that guy. Chris Landry love him so much.
Have n't talked to him in twenty years, but I
loved him when we work together. But any way, Chris
lives down there. So Jeff Landry is the governor of Louisiana.
He is petitioning Louisiana State university to revive their tradition
of live tiger mascots at the home games. He wants
(25:44):
to bring in the tigers. Now, the tradition stopped back
in twenty seventeen.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
They got rid of that.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
They got rid of the tradition because animal rights activists
raised a hullablu and they backed down. So they have
had that since twenty seventeen. But the Governor's like, hey,
let's bring back the tiger. Where did Bengal tigers? We
got to bring them back? And so will they actually
get it done? How many live mascots are?
Speaker 3 (26:13):

Ralphie and then whatnot?

year at the holiday part the Marines. You know, maybe
he might be part of the pr department for the Marines.
And yeah, he says they do all the real work
in the military, that everyone else is a fraud, that
the Marines do all the heavy lifting.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
What about you, coopp.
Speaker 12 (31:39):
I was like Eddie, I always thought it'd be awesome
to fly like F sixteen. So I would choose the
Air Force.
Speaker 5 (31:46):
But I'm not.
Speaker 12 (31:46):
I'm not eligible because my eyesight is terrible. But you know,
in this hypothetical situation, I would choose the Air Force. Now,
as a kid growing up, they had the Blue Angels
air show every year.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
Was really cool.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
And I live between two military bases, and this was
back in the Stone Age. They'd let us kids like
walk through on the like the planes, like the cockpits
they had to open up.
Speaker 12 (32:05):
It was crazy, pretty small. Now those are those are
Navy planes.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
I believe they were at the El Toro Marine Base
or the Tustin air station, or it was what is
next here?
Speaker 2 (32:16):
That both those places are gone, by the way, they're
long gone. There's houses there now. Cowboy Killer, Hi, Cowboy Killer.
Speaker 12 (32:22):
He would like to know. And I believe we've been
asked this before. You know, it's all right, we'll do
it again. If you could own an exotic pet, what
would it be?
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Well, I'm a big fan of the elephant and the rhino,
but I do often mention the Komodo dragon, so one
of those three, I feel like I do own an
exotic pet. I have Moxie the bulldog. It seems like
an exotic It's like owning a miniature rhino when you
own a bolt like an English bulldog like that.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
What about you, Eddie?
Speaker 5 (32:49):
Well, Mike the Leprechaun has turned me onto the hedgehog,
so I might have to check that out.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
In contact the wife there, make some phone calls. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
all right, any we're animals market markets.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
I would buy a lion.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
A lion, Well, you'd get all the credibility there. Imagine
picking up women whatever I mean, my guy.
Speaker 5 (33:08):
My lion.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
Yeah, come check out my line. It's gonna roar. Yeah,
all right, what about your coop?
Speaker 12 (33:15):
I would I would pick a cheetah. That is my
that's my favorite animal, a.
Speaker 2 (33:19):

Speaker 12 (33:45):
In donkey sausage, I would like to know soft serve
or hard ice cream. I don't know if it's I
think it's just I don't.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
I think you've done something terribly wrong. Hard ice cream, Yeah,
so bosser of a regular ice cream. Both serve a
roll in a good life lived. I don't mind going
to Costco and getting the berry Sunday.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
I don't mind that at all, love it. But yeah,
ice cream today.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
You asked me tomorrow it might be a different answer,
but I would pick ice cream and cookie dough ice cream.
I try some exotic ones when I've traveled or whateverbody
might go to a cookie cookie dough, chocolate chip, mint
chip or something like that.
Speaker 5 (34:30):
What about you, Edie, Definitely the soft serve. As a
matter of fact, if I do get the regular ice cream,
I will allow it to melt for a while before
I eat the ice cream.
Speaker 10 (34:39):
Souse.
Speaker 5 (34:39):
I love the melty soft service.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
It's a terrible answer.
Speaker 5 (34:42):
You're a terrible person.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
How am I a terrible person?
Speaker 5 (34:45):
Because I know because you're criticized, Abe, they.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
Tell you the problem with soft serve. The problem with
soft serve is the same problem I have with fast food.
It's a race to eat it before it turns to crap.
Speaker 10 (34:56):
Not for me.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
If you've got to eat the soft serve fast or
it starts melting, it's like.
Speaker 5 (35:00):
Can you melm with a spoon?
Speaker 1 (35:03):
There's more leeway, but there's more there's more leeway with
ice cream. You can relax. You don't have to rush,
you know, unless it's a million degrees wax.
Speaker 5 (35:15):
And let it melt. Yeah, you're right, I do Mark.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
Listen, regular ice that's my man. There high five, all right, boom,
there we go.
Speaker 3 (35:23):
All right.
Speaker 2 (35:23):
What about you, Coop?
Speaker 12 (35:24):
Definitely regular ice cream.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
Come on, man, you're you're such an.
Speaker 5 (35:28):
Outlier on a guy who would like steak burnt please?
Speaker 1 (35:32):
Yeah, me and Arnie spanyar by the way, d National
Legend of Great Arney Span.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
You're from Burlington, Vermont.
Speaker 5 (35:38):
That's where you get.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
If you want to see Burlington, all you need is
four hours. You can see the entire town. What's next?
That's true. I went there. I visited Arnie Mark and
we spent four hours.
Speaker 1 (35:48):
I saw everything there is to see in Burlington, Vermont,
and then I left and you got back on the
road down to Boston.
Speaker 2 (35:54):
Man alive? All right, what is it? What is next?
Kober Loop?
Speaker 12 (35:56):
The King Rory, the King Rory?
Speaker 2 (35:59):
He would like to know.
Speaker 12 (35:59):
Have you ever dialed nine to one one before?
Speaker 1 (36:02):
Yes, I actually have, well mistakenly dialed. You are talking
about an actual emergency.
Speaker 2 (36:07):
I have done that too.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
I have been on the highway working the overnight here
driving home, seeing accidents happen. I saw wrong way drivers
a couple of times.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
But so I have done that. But I also like
mistakingly dialed, which is weird because my wife works there.
But yeah, so I've done all that. What about you, Eddie?
Speaker 5 (36:24):
Yeah, not because of something emergency at my house necessarily,
but I did it recently. I was driving on the
seven to ten freeway the Longbeach Freeway in southern California,
and there was a naked man laying on the side
of the freeway and so I.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
Wonder what weedman was doing it.
Speaker 5 (36:41):
Yeah, so I called nine to one one and said, yeah,
you might want to send somebody out here.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
For this, and yeah, yeah, yeah, I've called for wrong
way drivers, but they usually call up and say what's
your emergency. Then they transferred to the highway patrol and then.
Speaker 5 (36:53):
Yeah, like I was put on hold twice, but they
didn't pick up pretty quickly.
Speaker 1 (36:56):
Yeah, they pick up quick but like, it's so the system,
the highway system right here is so big. It's unless
there's somebody in the area, they're not going to find
the person. Mark ever called nine one one, never.
Speaker 2 (37:08):
Called nine one one. But I've had to call the police,
but never a nine call the business line. What about you.
Speaker 12 (37:16):
I have a few times for drunk drivers, but a
better story than that. When I was really young, it
was right after my parents split up, so my mom
was living at home alone and it was like around
two in the morning and somebody called our house and
there was this guy who was like, I'm in the treehouse.
And we got a treehouse in our backyard, and she
freaked out, called nine one one, got the cops over there,
(37:39):
and then we found out that there was a bar
in our town called the Treehouse.
Speaker 13 (37:43):
So some dude just dial the wrong number trying to
get fortunate. That's unfortunate. Better to be safe than sorry.
I guess I'm in the house, like somebody that would
call this show.
Speaker 2 (37:54):
What is next is asking? Your questions are answers for
the rest.
Speaker 12 (37:59):
All the masshole Mickey would like to know Apple or
pumpkin baked goods.
Speaker 1 (38:06):
Yeah, like the pumpkin, you'd only do it for for
Halloween or Thanksgiving, but the apples you can do it
year round. Is the apples always in style? Eddie, we
agree on that one. Yeah, okay, Mark apple Pie, let's go.
Speaker 11 (38:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (38:21):
I love apple. You get the Dutch apple, get the French.
I mean, there's so many different apple.
Speaker 2 (38:25):
But what about you, Coop?
Speaker 12 (38:26):
You might be able to do it year round, but
it just doesn't hold a candle to those three months
that the pumpkin is.
Speaker 5 (38:34):
Dominates.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
It does not a terrible take, bad take, Get out
of here, Come on, pumpkin
Hello and welcome. It's our numbber three talking ball baseball.
So what basket do you file? The braves wit Meryfield
rant about baseball's pathetic pitching. Also, are we going to
see another rule put into baseball when it comes to
(00:21):
batters being hit by pitches?
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Stay tuned, we'll get to that.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
And can you decode what Aaron Boone means when he
says the Yankees will get creative with the closer role? Plus,
how does the plan to dump the NCAA for a
new regulatory structure of college football sound to you? We'll
go there as well. All of it's coming your way
(00:46):
right now here. It is our number three. A bravo
kind of a rant, Well gum. In the beginning of
another hour of the Ben Maler Show. We are in

(01:53):
Tom mister Galloway from Texas. He finally watched Benny Versus.
He said that I suck at television and he likes
the radio show better because it's four hours and the
TV show is only thirty minutes.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
But thirty minutes of TV time.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
I've learned this from doing the TV show last year.
In this year, thirty minutes of TV time is equivalent
to four hours of radio time. It's the same thing.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Yeah, yeah, the whole deal. All right, sorry, lead this.
We're gonna change it up. Go to baseball.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
I know, football seasons beginning tonight in Kansas City. We'll
get back to the NFL, but we start in the
atl where the Elambrits are in a dog fight with
the Metropolitans to make the playoffs. Down the stretch we come.
We're into September here. Baseball playoffs start in October. And
in the middle of all of this, in the middle
of all this one of the grizzled veterans in Georgia
(02:47):
had a mini meltdown mini meltdown this week. If you
didn't hear about it, maybe not. We've got the audio
we're gonna play here in a secon so w Meryfield,
a longtime Cannesau City Royal with Merryfield, was hit by
an errant fastball.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
It happened the other.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Night, and he then unloaded on the pathetic state of
big league pitching, saying that something terrible is going to happen,
and he recommended the sport reintroduce rules to adjudicate pictures
that are wild with their control. So I can give
(03:28):
you the whole thing, but why don't you take a
listen for yourself. Let's go to the audio tape.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
The way the way pictures are throwing. Now there's no
remorse for the part.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Of her guard for throwing helping end.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
The guys are throwing as hard as again, and they
don't care where the ball goes, and it's it's it's
it's just there's they.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Could have pulled something, hit a guy anymore bad.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
There's no fear of that. Oh if I hit this guy,
our guy's going to get hit.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
That's not the game anymore.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
Pittures don't have to hit anymose, they don't have to
stand in the box. And the teams are bringing pictures up.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
They don't know what balls going.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
They throw one hundred miles an hour. So we're like,
all right, we'll see if you can get the guys out.
Just set up down the middle and throw its hards again.
And it's driving me nuts. I hate where the game's
at right now with that. And I'm on the rules
committee and we got to call tomorrow and it's it's
gonna be a long conversation on what we gotta do to.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Make pictures think about. I just took ninety five right
off the head.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
I'm very lucky that it got me in a good spot.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
And I gotta go get a cast game. I'm out
of the game. He gets to stay in the pitch.
I'm probably not gonna be able to play tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
No repression on his part.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
And all right, So that was wit Marryfield. That was
not the bite that I had hoped we would play.
The bite I wanted was a little shorter, but we
got the full extended dance remix for some reason. So
let us discuss the question what basket? What basket do
you file? The commentary you just heard from the Braves
wit Maryfield his rant about the put what's that?
Speaker 3 (05:00):
State?
Speaker 2 (05:00):
A big league pitching?
Speaker 1 (05:02):
So I've got spinach, Indiana, Jones and diagnosis, and we'll
combine all of these things together and make a properly
edited sound bite.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
I don't know what I have to do around here
to get properly hitted sound bites. I don't know. Maybe
I'll have to do it myself.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
So, first of all, a wit Merryfield got on the
bully pulpit and unloaded, right, he unloaded. Now there was
only one profanity. I would have preferred a bleep more
than the silence. It's more funny, it's more entertaining, more
engaging when you hear a bleep listening to audio content
rather than.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Just a pause. But this was a therapeutic RNT. Obviously.
If you know this, it's been a long season.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Wit Maryfield started with the Philadelphia Phillies and sucked so
much the Phillies said bye bye, a byproduct of his
overall batting average of two nineteen. Now, Merryfield, what he
did here in the cartoon bubble in my head is
he grabbed the entire can of spinach, and he then
(06:03):
puffed on his pipe and he went popey the sailor man.
That's all I can stands, and I can't stands no more.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
And as a result, now.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Witt Merryfield predicted that Major League Baseball's Competition Committee, who
he's a part of, will put some rules in and
he believes that's going to happen by next season.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
There will be rules. Now, how exactly is this going
to work?
Speaker 1 (06:28):
How do you determine when a ball just got away
from the pitcher and when did the picture intentionally throw
or does it matter? We'll have to get the particulars
on this now. But I do agree with wit Merryfield
and his commentary that the competition Committee will have a
rule in place to deal with batters that get hit.
(06:52):
Of course, they will have to factor in that a
number of batters get hit because they crowd the plate
and as a result, they are more pro to get hit.
But the reason this is all going to happen, there'll
be more rules in baseball, is because the jack Wagon commissioner,
Rob manfraud.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
This is his solution to everything. This is the corporate
world that he is from.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
He's a lawyer, he's a labor lawyer that just stayed
at Major League Baseball, worked his way all the way
up to the top, the Peter principal, Peter Principal commissioner.
But rather than have players in that sport of baseball
handled their business on the field among players the way
that it had been done for one hundred and twenty
plus years, No, no, no, that's not good enough, not
(07:38):
good enough. So Rob Manfred says, no, no, we got to
get a blue ribbon panel together, and we've got to
add bureaucracy here, bureaucracy there, pureaucracy everywhere, wash rints and repeat.
You think how the sports think. Ghost Runners still in baseball?
(07:58):
For god's sakes, ghost the games are going too long.
We need to add the ghost runner. They did the
ghost runner thing. You can't take out the second basement,
cannot do it, can't take down down the catcher at
home play. These are all Rob Manford creations, right. And
he was there at the Commissioner's office, whether he was
the commissioner or the deputy commissioner when all that stuff happened.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Now, secondly, let's visit the zoo.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
The Bronx, who where manager Aaron Boone and the New York.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Yankees are having major issues with their bullpend.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Boone said he's going to quote get creative and consider
several options at Closer. Now Clay Holmes, what up Holmes?
Clay Holmes is still in the mix. According to Aaron Boone,
he wanted you to know they still support They're in
battle Closer the New York Yankees. So can you decode
what Aaron Boone means when he says the Yankees will
(08:52):
get creative with the Closer roll? What exactly does he mean?
All Right, so I will break this down. I'll explain
this you like you're five years old. Aaron Boone is
channeling a classic Hollywood movie Indiana Jones. He's making it
up as he goes, which really upsets the nerds. The
(09:13):
nerds don't like this at all. The nerd army, the
parade of nerds that follow Brian Cashman around are not
gonna like this. Mariano Rivera is not walking through that door.
And if he does, as Rick Patino would tell you,
he's going to be gray and old. And so they
have no plan. They can't trade for anybody. The deadline
has already passed, and so for now Aaron Boone is
(09:37):
going to actually have to manage He's unless the nerds
just tell him who to pitch that day. But I
assume he's going to have to go into the back
of the refrigerator, go through the tupperware in the back
of the fridge. You take out the leftover spaghetti and
the meatballs. You got some rice over here, maybe some
orange chicken, and you mix them all together and you
(09:57):
make dinner.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
And that's what going to have to do at the
end of games.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
For the Yankees, and the playoffs are a month away,
all right, final thought, we pivot away from baseball. We
go to Washington, DC, Capitol Hill. So I read this
and I'm trying to process it. I read that on
the eve of some hearings, the NCED Double A's house
settlement hearings, which are taking place the leaders of college sports,
(10:24):
the big kahunas that take all this money at universities
and then God only knows where the money goes. They're
working to establish a new what they're calling a regulatory structure.
A regulatory structure, not the NCED Double A. So it'll
be something else to manage slash inforce a revenue sharing
(10:45):
model across college sports. So third party agencies are being
vetted right now, and they hope to have a plan.
So how does this plan to dump the NCED double
A for some kind of new regulatory structure for college sports,
mainly college football and basketball. How does this sound to you?
So the Malard diagnosis on this, the cure is worse
(11:10):
than the disease.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
You ever heard that?
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Right, You get sick and the medicine's worse for you
than the actual illness.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
That's what this sounds like to me. Maybe I'm reading
it wrong. I don't think I am.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
The NC DOUBLEA started out with good intentions. There were
people dying, the Flying Wedge, schools were getting rid of football.
At one point, college football was bigger than every other sport,
and so the president put a panel together and it
wasn't even called the NC DOUBLEA at first.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
They changed the name of it to the NC DOUBLEA
over time, and.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
It started out as just a benign operation, and over time,
like everything just like this country started, America started because
people came over and wanted to get rid of the
draconian taxation and all that in Europe, and so now
we have the same thing they have there.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
We just took a couple hundred years and then here
we are and.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
The NC double A. You can get rid of the
NC double A. But it's gonna backfile fire horribly because
given a finite amount of time, the same damn thing's
gonna happen again. That they'll start out saying, when does
it want to be hands off? We don't want to interfere,
and then they'll add more rules and regulations, and then
Congress will get involved and the floodgates are open. It's
(12:25):
off to the races. It's off to the races, all right.

lives down there. So Jeff Landry is the governor of Louisiana.
He is petitioning Louisiana State university to revive their tradition
of live tiger mascots at the home games. He wants
(25:44):
to bring in the tigers. Now, the tradition stopped back
in twenty seventeen.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
They got rid of that.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
They got rid of the tradition because animal rights activists
raised a hullablu and they backed down. So they have
had that since twenty seventeen. But the Governor's like, hey,
let's bring back the tiger. Where did Bengal tigers? We
got to bring them back? And so will they actually

And yeah, he says they do all the real work
in the military, that everyone else is a fraud, that
the Marines do all the heavy lifting.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
What about you, coopp.
Speaker 12 (31:39):
I was like Eddie, I always thought it'd be awesome
to fly like F sixteen. So I would choose the
Air Force.
Speaker 5 (31:46):
But I'm not.
Speaker 12 (31:46):
I'm not eligible because my eyesight is terrible. But you know,
in this hypothetical situation, I would choose the Air Force. Now,
as a kid growing up, they had the Blue Angels
air show every year.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
Was really cool.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
And I live between two military bases, and this was
back in the Stone Age. They'd let us kids like
walk through on the like the planes, like the cockpits
they had to open up.
Speaker 12 (32:05):
It was crazy, pretty small. Now those are those are
Navy planes.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
I believe they were at the El Toro Marine Base
or the Tustin air station, or it was what is
next here?
Speaker 2 (32:16):
That both those places are gone, by the way, they're
long gone. There's houses there now. Cowboy Killer, Hi, Cowboy Killer.
Speaker 12 (32:22):
He would like to know. And I believe we've been
asked this before. You know, it's all right, we'll do
it again. If you could own an exotic pet, what
would it be?
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Well, I'm a big fan of the elephant and the rhino,
but I do often mention the Komodo dragon, so one
of those three, I feel like I do own an
exotic pet. I have Moxie the bulldog. It seems like
an exotic It's like owning a miniature rhino when you
own a bolt like an English bulldog like that.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
What about you, Eddie?
Speaker 5 (32:49):
Well, Mike the Leprechaun has turned me onto the hedgehog,

Speaker 1 (32:54):
In contact the wife there, make some phone calls. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
all right, any we're animals market markets.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
I would buy a lion.
Speaker 1 (33:02):

picking up women whatever I mean, my guy.
Speaker 5 (33:08):
My lion.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
Yeah, come check out my line. It's gonna roar. Yeah,
all right, what about your coop?
Speaker 12 (33:15):

Speaker 12 (33:45):
In donkey sausage, I would like to know soft serve
or hard ice cream. I don't know if it's I
think it's just I don't.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
I think you've done something terribly wrong. Hard ice cream, Yeah,
so bosser of a regular ice cream. Both serve a
roll in a good life lived. I don't mind going
to Costco and getting the berry Sunday.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
I don't mind that at all, love it. But yeah,
ice cream today.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
You asked me tomorrow it might be a different answer,
but I would pick ice cream and cookie dough ice cream.
I try some exotic ones when I've traveled or whateverbody
might go to a cookie cookie dough, chocolate chip, mint
chip or something like that.
Speaker 5 (34:30):
What about you, Edie, Definitely the soft serve. As a
matter of fact, if I do get the regular ice cream,
I will allow it to melt for a while before
I eat the ice cream.
Speaker 10 (34:39):
Souse.
Speaker 5 (34:39):
I love the melty soft service.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
It's a terrible answer.
Speaker 5 (34:42):
You're a terrible person.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
How am I a terrible person?
Speaker 5 (34:45):
Because I know because you're criticized, Abe, they.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
Tell you the problem with soft serve. The problem with
soft serve is the same problem I have with fast food.
It's a race to eat it before it turns to crap.
Speaker 10 (34:56):
Not for me.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
If you've got to eat the soft serve fast or
it starts melting, it's like.
Speaker 5 (35:00):
Can you melm with a spoon?
Speaker 1 (35:03):
There's more leeway, but there's more there's more leeway with
ice cream. You can relax. You don't have to rush,
you know, unless it's a million degrees wax.
Speaker 5 (35:15):
And let it melt. Yeah, you're right, I do Mark.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
Listen, regular ice that's my man. There high five, all right, boom,
there we go.
Speaker 3 (35:23):
All right.
Speaker 2 (35:23):
What about you, Coop?
Speaker 12 (35:24):
Definitely regular ice cream.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
Come on, man, you're you're such an.
Speaker 5 (35:28):
Outlier on a guy who would like steak burnt please?
Speaker 1 (35:32):
Yeah, me and Arnie spanyar by the way, d National
Legend of Great Arney Span.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
You're from Burlington, Vermont.
Speaker 5 (35:38):
That's where you get.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
If you want to see Burlington, all you need is
four hours. You can see the entire town. What's next?
That's true. I went there. I visited Arnie Mark and
we spent four hours.
Speaker 1 (35:48):
I saw everything there is to see in Burlington, Vermont,
and then I left and you got back on the
road down to Boston.
Speaker 2 (35:54):
Man alive? All right, what is it? What is next?
Kober Loop?
Speaker 12 (35:56):
The King Rory, the King Rory?
Speaker 2 (35:59):
He would like to know.
Speaker 12 (35:59):
Have you ever dialed nine to one one before?
Speaker 1 (36:02):
Yes, I actually have, well mistakenly dialed. You are talking
about an actual emergency.
Speaker 2 (36:07):
I have done that too.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
I have been on the highway working the overnight here
driving home, seeing accidents happen. I saw wrong way drivers
a couple of times.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
But so I have done that. But I also like
mistakingly dialed, which is weird because my wife works there.
But yeah, so I've done all that. What about you, Eddie?
Speaker 5 (36:24):
Yeah, not because of something emergency at my house necessarily,
but I did it recently. I was driving on the
seven to ten freeway the Longbeach Freeway in southern California,
and there was a naked man laying on the side
of the freeway and so I.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
Wonder what weedman was doing it.
Speaker 5 (36:41):
Yeah, so I called nine to one one and said, yeah,
you might want to send somebody out here.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
For this, and yeah, yeah, yeah, I've called for wrong
way drivers, but they usually call up and say what's
your emergency. Then they transferred to the highway patrol and then.
Speaker 5 (36:53):
Yeah, like I was put on hold twice, but they
didn't pick up pretty quickly.
Speaker 1 (36:56):
Yeah, they pick up quick but like, it's so the system,
the highway system right here is so big. It's unless
there's somebody in the area, they're not going to find
the person. Mark ever called nine one one, never.
Speaker 2 (37:08):
Called nine one one. But I've had to call the police,
but never a nine call the business line. What about you.
Speaker 12 (37:16):
I have a few times for drunk drivers, but a
better story than that. When I was really young, it
was right after my parents split up, so my mom
was living at home alone and it was like around
two in the morning and somebody called our house and
there was this guy who was like, I'm in the treehouse.
And we got a treehouse in our backyard, and she
freaked out, called nine one one, got the cops over there,
(37:39):
and then we found out that there was a bar
in our town called the Treehouse.
Speaker 13 (37:43):
So some dude just dial the wrong number trying to
get fortunate. That's unfortunate. Better to be safe than sorry.
I guess I'm in the house, like somebody that would
call this show.
Speaker 2 (37:54):
What is next is asking? Your questions are answers for
the rest.
Speaker 12 (37:59):
All the masshole Mickey would like to know Apple or
pumpkin baked goods.
Speaker 1 (38:06):
Yeah, like the pumpkin, you'd only do it for for
Halloween or Thanksgiving, but the apples you can do it
year round. Is the apples always in style? Eddie, we
agree on that one. Yeah, okay, Mark apple Pie, let's go.
Speaker 11 (38:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (38:21):
I love apple. You get the Dutch apple, get the French.
I mean, there's so many different apple.
Speaker 2 (38:25):
But what about you, Coop?
Speaker 12 (38:26):
You might be able to do it year round, but
it just doesn't hold a candle to those three months
that the pumpkin is.
Speaker 5 (38:34):
Dominates.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
It does not a terrible take, bad take, Get out
of here, Come on, pumpkin
