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

Speaker 2 (00:01):
It's our nuber to hour two, and it's all about
Game number five of the World Series of the losing
locker room Dodgers and Yankees. Who gets the blame street
Pretzel for the Bronx Bombers as they go down? Does
Aaron Boone survive this epic meltdown in the Bronx? And
what does this world series loss do with anything for

(00:25):
the future of Juan Soto and Yankee Land. We'll talk
about all that and more right now here. It is
our number two, the Bronx Bummer wel gume in the
beginning of another.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
Hour of the Ben Malor Show.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
We are in the air everywhere, hand in hand as
we talk all night and sleep all day.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
That's how we roll. That's how we roll every night.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
Yes, we do coast the coast, borting the border hand
beyond on the vast stand spiffy powerful mike raphones of
FSR amminating live from the spot, the sweet spot of
the darkness. We're broadcasting live from the Tyraq dot com
studios tyrack dot com.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
Well help you get there at.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
Unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free road hazard protection and
over ten thousand I recommended in sorrs.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
Tyrack dot com.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
The way tire buying showed being Oscottie p loves the
number ten thousand.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
Now I did the math on this.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
I think Steven Manhattan can confirm that the Yankees made
ten thousand mistakes in the World Series. Just in Game five.
They made ten thousand mistakes. And I enjoyed everyone every mistake.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
I enjoyed every one of them. Charlie.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
This hour is from Baseball. Play the hits, my man,
play the hits. Now Dodgers win the championship. Fall classing
is over.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
Hum Newer Hum newer.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
Five game series. The Yankees in complete control. They had
the game on lockdown, and then the great Escape.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
The Yankees imploded.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
Aaron Judge, Jazz Chisholm Junior, and John Carlos Stanton all
said bye bye to the baseball. They had all home
runs relatively early in the game. Yankees were up five
to nothing, and it all went away, all of it,
not part of it, all of it. Then the Yankees
got the lead again, Dodgers tied it at five. Yankees
went up six five. Dodgers then go ahead with a

(02:37):
couple of sackflies in the eighth inning. They go up
seven to six. That would be your final. And the
twenty twenty four baseball season is over. The curtain has
come down. The Dodgers are the champions. Now. We spent
last hour talking about the Doyers in depth. And if
you're someone that maybe was covered up, did not hear
our show last hour because of alternative programming, can download

(03:00):
the podcast for a full Malar monologue on the Dodgers.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
But now, the better story is in the losing locker
room on this Halloween. So that is where we go.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
I've got a bunch of wild thoughts on this Yankee
team imploding poise.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
That a good story.

Speaker 2 (03:19):
So the question is who gets the blame Street Pretzel
for the New York Yankees? Managed by Aaron Boone, Who
gets the blame Street Pretzel for the Yankees? So on
this one, I've got Haberdasherie, late night infomercial and Tim
Buck too, and we will combine all of these things

(03:41):
together and we are going to make a nice tropical
vacation because the team from New York will now be
able to go on a nice tropical vacation because they
have nothing else to do. There's no more baseball to
be played. That's it. That's all, You're done. See you later,
pick up your nice parting gift. The season is over, so.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
To kick off.

Speaker 2 (04:04):
Though for New York the one that's obvious. This is
an Okham's Razors situation. The simplest answer is the right answer.
Judgment day, And as the great Biblical scholars have pointed
out over the years, the Lord giveth and the Lord
take it away. El Kapitan. Aaron Judge, Aaron Judge, who

(04:28):
had started to heat up right. In fact, he was
changing the narrative. He reached base not one, not twice, nine,
how about four times? Had a home run in this game.
So okay, Judges coming around, he's better than Otani. Not
so fast, my friends, not so fast, because what happened next.
Nobody had this on their big board. We saw a

(04:49):
demonic portal open up and it was little league baseball.
Defensively in center field for Aaron jo He ended up
butchering a ball in the outfield, and that led to
a swirling cauldron of doom, A demonic cauldron swirling of

(05:11):
doom from the New York Yankees. There it all happened
when Judge was unable to come up with a ball
hit by Tommy Edmond, and it was a line drive.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
There was a runner on.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
And nobody out in the fifth inning, and that error
led to not one, not two, not three, nine four?
How about five Doyer runs? Five of them? Trick or treat? Well,
I think we know the answer to that. Happy Halloween.
You are now going to be haunted, Aaron Judge, you

(05:45):
will be haunted. That was an abomination, abysmal baseball, and
I loved every second of it. And Judge as the
captain of the Yankees, Aaron Judge set the tone because
shortly after that, you had the shortstop Anthony Volpi, the
Derek Jeter wanna be Anthony Volpi, who made an error

(06:06):
immediately after, had a chance to get out of the
inning with no runs scored, unscathed. Who goofed? I've got
to know. And Anthony Rizzo bobbled the slowly hit ground
ball by Mookie Betts. Later on, we had a pitcher
throw over three times. They're only allowed two, so that

(06:28):
was a bock. We had catchers interference. You had the
highest paid pitcher of all time in baseball failed to
cover first base.

Speaker 1 (06:38):
It's unreal. It's unreal. But when all is said and done.

Speaker 2 (06:42):
It starts at the very top, and that's Aaron Judge
el Capitan, who can go down to the Haberdasherie in
Lower Manhattan and be fitted for the scarlet letter and
the matching shame bell. I hope you enjoy that, because
that stank and those cooties are gonna follow you around
all right. Now, Furthermore, does Aaron Boone survive what happened

(07:07):
in this world series? Does he live to manage another
day after the meltdown outside Midtown? Does he survive another day?
So this, at this point, it's a fifty to fifty
deal with a slight lean to him coming back, slight lean.
So I'll go fifty two forty eight fifty two forty
eight in favor of Boone returning. He shouldn't, right, he

(07:32):
should not. And here's why. Aaron Boone is a middle manager.
That's what he is. He's just following the marching orders
from the nerds. That's all he is doing. Now that said,
he is the East Coast Dave Roberts. That's what Dave
Roberts does in LA. That's what Aaron Boone does in
New York. These are doppelganger franchises, but in New York.

Speaker 1 (07:55):
It's a little different. It's a little different.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
Typically, somebody has to be held accountable. And I know
we're living in a different time and we're in the
TikTok generation and all that. But back in the old
days when the Boss ruled the Rust, George Steinbrenner, if
George Steinbrener owned the Yankees and they played like this
in the World Series, George Steinbrenner would say, all right.

Speaker 1 (08:18):
Aaron Boone, I want to meet with you tomorrow in
the morning.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
Brian Cashman, your ass is grass also, I'd like to
meet with you. But the kids are now driving the
mister Softy truck and it's soft Serve in the Brox,
and so they'll come up with some kind of compromise,
That's what I'm anticipating. And they'll turn on a classic
late night infomercial, the Steinbrenner Family, and they'll huddle around

(08:44):
with Aaron.

Speaker 1 (08:44):
Boone, and they'll huddle around.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
With Brian Cashman, and they'll hit the play button and
they'll watch the Tom Amansky instructional videos on the fundamentals
of baseball, and they'll watch that over and over and
over and over. Defensive fundamentals that's the tape that will
do the trick. It's a VHS tape. They might have
a DVD. Maybe they have a DVD. And yeah, the

(09:09):
other thing is unless they fire Cashman, there's no point
in firing Boone because Cashman, the GM is just going
to hire somebody to do the same thing Boone's doing.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
So that's a futile act.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
If you get rid of Boone, but you keep Cashman,
who seemingly has lifetime tenured employment with the Yankees. All right,
last thing here, So what does this world series now
being done? What does this do for the future of
Juan Soto? Now he played pretty well, it's on base

(09:45):
a lot.

Speaker 1 (09:45):
In this world series. He is a free agent.

Speaker 2 (09:48):
The Padres sent him to New York for a gaggle
of suspects to be named later, and some of those
guys turned out to be pretty good. But the question
what does the world world series lost due for the
future of one Soda. So he is at a fork

(10:08):
in the road. It's a very nice gold plated fork
in the road. One Sodo he is. And he has
repeatedly said that he has enjoyed his time in the Bronx.
But you know, but means everything before the word butt
doesn't really matter.

Speaker 1 (10:26):
But he will entertain.

Speaker 2 (10:29):
All offers, all offers once he hits the open market.

Speaker 1 (10:35):
So what does that mean?

Speaker 2 (10:37):
Status quo stand pat is what it means. Right one.
Soto is like the A team. He's a soldier of fortune.
Now he's gotta get max money. He turned down three
hundred million from the Nationals, four hundred million from the Padres,
So if my math is correct, he's got to get

(10:58):
at least what five hundred million five.

Speaker 1 (11:02):
And the good thing.

Speaker 2 (11:03):
Is as a soldier of fortune, Juan Soto will play anywhere.

Speaker 1 (11:09):
He'll play from.

Speaker 2 (11:10):
Walla Walla, Washington to tim Buck two, he'll go Kalamazoo.
It doesn't matter anywhere whoever offers the most money. And
he's essentially got a blank check at this point. And
he's also got in addition to not only having a
blank check, he's got the perfect out. Like if he

(11:30):
leaves the Yankees, he can say, hey, I just we
couldn't win, we weren't good enough. I want to go
somewhere else where they play better defense. If he stays
it's like, well I have unfinished business. But you and
I both know, and it's his prerogative to do this,
but the common denominator he will play for anybody money.

Speaker 1 (11:51):
Money, money, money, money, money, money.

Speaker 2 (11:53):
The Chicago White Sox, who are an absolute poop show.
If Jerry Ryan Sturf is gonna sell the White Sox says,
all right, I'm gonna offer you six hundred million. Juan
Soto will be singing the praises of black Jack McDowell
and Frank Thomas and Hawk Harrelson and zoom out to Chicago.

reasons to be upset as a sports fan. But what
if I told you a number of sports fans have
been triggered by music, not a game.

Speaker 1 (12:56):
Not a game.

Speaker 2 (12:57):
We're talking about music. I'll explain what that's all about.
We'll get to it, and we will.

Speaker 2 (13:55):
Ian writes and he says, as one of the garbage Americans,
I'm glad to see your team win. You are a
true Dodger fan. Well, thank you, appreciate that. Thank full
credit for that. I think I pitched a couple of
innings this series. I'll take credit. Shandon Moyn writes in says, hey, Ben,
can we extend the Gascon three strikes rule and extend
it to a month? A plus? He says, a plus plus.

(14:19):
Blah blah blah blah blah. Late Night Drug tester says,
the only owner in sports that has knee jerk reactions
to losing is David Tepper, and the Carolina Panthers are
going to suck for a while.

Speaker 4 (14:32):
Now.

Speaker 1 (14:33):
He's not the only one.

Speaker 2 (14:34):
David Tepper's the closest thing we have to an old
school owner who just snaps and fires a coach after
a couple of games. Fergnok says, I am surprised you
have not mentioned the second biggest story of the day yet,
the Lakers Bronnie James scoring his first bucket in garbage
time and a blowout loss.

Speaker 1 (14:55):
Yeah, Eddie can cover that. I'm good on this good.

Speaker 2 (14:58):
Let's say hello to Steve in Manhattan, the NEPO baby.
Let's go to Steve in Manhattan, who promised the Yankees
are gonna win the World Series?

Speaker 1 (15:05):
How's that working?

Speaker 6 (15:06):
On?

Speaker 1 (15:06):
Yankees in nine? Yankees in nine?

Speaker 7 (15:10):
Four Men in White tuxedos, came into the studio, removed
the recording of the ben Mala post World Series shows,
placed it in a gold canister, wrapped it in platinum seal,
and took it to the Talk radio Hall of Fame.
Then distinguished panel expanded, audians.

Speaker 6 (15:30):
Well, now you're welcome to he hall. The fifth inning
of Game five and the first and then game one,
the nineth inning, that key hale for you. Listen, Guys,
I don't.

Speaker 8 (15:39):
Know who is that Bookie Wilson or Rookie Betts.

Speaker 6 (15:42):
Running down the line today.

Speaker 9 (15:44):
Listen.

Speaker 6 (15:45):
If you're going to play like a spring training little
league game in the fifth game of the World Series,
then you gotta lose Dodger fans out there, all right.

Speaker 8 (15:52):
Listen.

Speaker 3 (15:53):
You gott to enjoy it.

Speaker 6 (15:54):
If you're young, you're enjoying it more than anybody because
you think it's always gonna happen, and it's not gonna
always happen.

Speaker 8 (16:00):
To enjoyed this and listen, I'll be willing.

Speaker 6 (16:04):
I'll be willing if you want. The acronym is gas
for the Dodger fans to get at Steve if you want.
But if you don't want to do it and just celebrate.
Go ahead and listen. What are you gonna do? I
saw after the game. I see Peey Herman interview in
Ferris Bulah and listen. The bottom line is World Series
is Freddy came as debate. That's the bottom line for
this World Series. And the Yankees really were not a

(16:25):
good to me, a good pitching team this year, and
they were not a good defensive team there and you've
seen it. You know, the whole world got to see
what we saw through one hundred and sixty two games.
I wanted, I said it all season long, for Judge
to bat in front of Soto in the last couple
of months of the season. I wanted Judge to lead
off and sold on a bat second. I wanted a

(16:46):
Max out there.

Speaker 2 (16:47):
Well, I think what you really wanted is you wanted
Bernie Williams to be back in the outfield.

Speaker 1 (16:50):
I think is what you wanted.

Speaker 6 (16:52):
Well, if I could pick the Yankees, I'd bring back
Joe d and Mick.

Speaker 9 (16:56):
Capring, all those guys.

Speaker 2 (16:57):
You're going way back, though, You're going way way way back.

Speaker 1 (17:00):
A hot tough time machine there.

Speaker 2 (17:01):
Yeah, Well, listen, at least one Yankee fan became a
household name for a day and now he'll go back
to doing nothing.

Speaker 1 (17:07):
So there you go. Yeah, he did the full rounds. Man.

Speaker 2 (17:10):
That guy was everywhere, that Yankee fan. They'd interfere with
Moogie Betts. He was all over the place.

Speaker 6 (17:16):
Yeah, but the pink was well listen, listen to the
bottom line. Here is the Yankees lost this World Series.
It was basically two innings, the ninth inning in Game one,
the fiftening of Game five. Well, we would be flying
back to LA and who knows who's going to happen.
And the state didn't give a little perspective of the
guy who was trying to eat the baseball last night,

(17:37):
I mean the night before in Game four. He ain't
banned from life from the Yankee statement, he's not allowed
to come back. I mean he could try to put
on the groudo.

Speaker 2 (17:43):
Going yeah, I don't think he's banned for life. In fact,
they know early in the day they were like, well
he's a lot. Major League Baseball had to step in.
The Yankees did not ban him initially, and then Major
League Baseball turned into this big spectacle. They're like, oh,
we're going to give the tickets to some kids they
have cancer or whatever.

Speaker 1 (18:01):
But then initially the guy was going to be back.

Speaker 2 (18:03):
He said that, the Yankees said you can come back,
and then baseball stepped in. But as far as I know,
he hadn't been banned for life from Yankee Stadium.

Speaker 6 (18:12):
He's a season He's a season ticket hold. That's why
they would throwing him a bone. But major League Baseball,
when it comes to the World Series, takes over the
boat Ballpark. They're in control of everything.

Speaker 2 (18:22):
No, I know that, I know that, But the guy.
I mean, the Yankees don't have a problem with the guy.
Did They don't really care. They have to pretend like
they care, but they don't really care. It's like they're
fine with it.

Speaker 6 (18:30):
Ye're okay, but much of just put him on the
forty Man Rock.

Speaker 2 (18:35):
I think he's getting a podcast at Barstool. I think
I think they're giving him a podcast. Who's gonna be
better him? Or The Hawk Tour Girl, a very popular podcast.
They're the Hawk Tour Girl.

Speaker 6 (18:45):
Yeah, but or Joe Rogan or somebody. But the thing is,
I mean, listen, if the Yankee fans, if he wins
the World Series, I mean, then people really remember him
in fond memories of him. But basically, it was like
a Saturday Night Live skin. It looked like you know,
he looked like Georgia animal steel, ripping open the toll,
you know, to turn bucket, whatever you call that. And

(19:06):
also I mean if you look at it closely enough,
I mean, what is that?

Speaker 8 (19:10):
That mean?

Speaker 6 (19:11):
You've been up.

Speaker 3 (19:11):
Professed to this guy.

Speaker 6 (19:12):
But he's gonna be popular being Yankee folk. Well, if
they would have won, not not for nonsense like this.
Yankees won in ninety six, and that's what Jeffrey May
became a part of Yankee folk.

Speaker 2 (19:22):
Yeah, but it doesn't work for the Yankees because the
Yankees have won a lot, even though they haven't won
in a long time. Steve Bartman, the Cubs didn't win,
and Steve Bartman is still associated with the three Cubs
for them that choke job.

Speaker 6 (19:36):
But what he did was a bonehead play.

Speaker 1 (19:39):
You know, No I understand, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (19:40):
Well, the same thing that the Yankee fan did is,
you know, rip the glade like you're using the jaws
of life. This guy Austin copy Bianco and trying to
rip the global But what are you doing?

Speaker 1 (19:51):
The guy already had the ball, but he's stupid.

Speaker 2 (19:53):
All right, I gotta go I gotta go. Thank you, Steve,
go away. Uh, let's sailor to Jerome and Charleston. Hello,
jer What is he gonna complain about it? I think
guys getting playing all the Dodgers make too much money
and it's not right and all.

Speaker 3 (20:05):
No, no, no, no, no no.

Speaker 8 (20:06):
Look I grubbed up when Kurt Flag went to court
to try to get all this change because Charlie Filly
was a cheap frob. Okay, so I have no problem
people making a lot of money.

Speaker 3 (20:18):
Just be just be.

Speaker 8 (20:19):
Kind to people. Would be nice to people, wouldn't need
him somewhere. Don't be like a jerk and neck like
you're too good to talk to him all you look down?
You know that.

Speaker 2 (20:27):
Well, I'm always a schmuck when I made people. I'm
always in a whole.

Speaker 8 (20:31):
Well that's your Hey, that's your problem. Man. We we've
had our differences. I'm a time or two. But hey,
I just I'm just glad that Dave Robertson will get
some sort of Hall of Fame recognition. Okay, I know
they have people will talk to hav an agenda against him.

Speaker 2 (20:46):
They'll never well, is it an agenda? He has the
top team, top roster every year and they've often blown it.
How is that an agenda? It's they've under the Dodgers.
I'm glad they won, but they've chronically underachieved.

Speaker 1 (21:00):
I am glad they.

Speaker 8 (21:01):
Were got more callers and more because he had lost.

and we're seeing it. We saw it through our eyes.

(27:24):
But it was great to live it organically, Bennie like.
It was like a parade in itself tonight, like with
a thousand Dodger fans. I didn't know if who's high

you know, it was a lovely night.

Speaker 8 (27:41):

probably a five in the morning. Just find a good
spot because I want to be right there in the
middle of everything.

did not. So thank you Manuel.

hard to follow along this. Let's go to Ed in Arlington.

They're worthy successors through the Rangers. They're they're my third
favorite team in baseball after the Rangers and the Mariners.

Speaker 2 (29:08):
Uh wait wait wait wait wait wait time out of time,
out of time.

Speaker 1 (29:13):
The Rangers and the Mariners in the same division.

Speaker 9 (29:17):
Yeah, I know it's fate, if fate has it, but
I do like the Mariners. Maners are an interesting team.

Speaker 1 (29:25):
How did that follow?

Speaker 9 (29:27):
I follow the Mariners next, after the after my Rangers.

Speaker 1 (29:32):
Huh that's wild. There's wild and crazy. All right.

Mariner fan out there in Oregon.

I got you, and the same goes.

Speaker 9 (29:48):
I like the I follow the the Giants a little
bit too, because they're the next the National League team
closest to Portland. And the Giants and the Dodgers are
in the same division, So what are you going to do?
But uh, I'm with you on the monologue thing tonight.
It's like the gods of baseball took a dim view

(30:08):
of mister Cappo Bianco's sleeves fast there with mooky batts
in Game five. That was that was disgraceful. And uh,
I guess it was Game four. They said, well, we
can't have these these apes being world champs for a
year after that display. That was a disgrace. So they

(30:31):
they saw to it that that the Dodgers were crowned tonight.
I mean that was the Yankees play was just embarrassing tonight.
That was you hit the nail on the head of
his little league got there.

Speaker 2 (30:44):
I enjoyed it. I enjoyed every error. I wish we
had had a drinking game. Every time a Yankee player
makes a defensive blunder, you take a drink, you'd be
You've been completely hammered. You need an ambulance the way
they were playing defense. But listen, now the fun begins.
The offseason, the silly season in baseball and all the
transactions and Juan Soto, where's he gonna end up, and

(31:06):
who's getting traded and all that.

Speaker 9 (31:09):
The Rangers. Rangers need to get. They need to back
up the brings truck to the Blue Jays stadium, and
they need to just give the Dodgers their pick of
the Rangers farm hands. They take what you want, give
us what's his name, Guerrero, Vladimir Guerrero Junior. In return,

(31:29):
take what you want, Well, we want him, because that's
what they need.

year unless they haul in an Adrian Beltray Josh.

of the World Series coming to an end. Dave Roberts
has now joined Dusty Baker and Blank as the only
manager since nineteen forty to have beaten the Yankees as
a player and as a manager. That is the Insta trivia.

(34:39):
What is the answer? Let's see, does anyone know Miguel

third best coach?

Speaker 1 (34:48):
Is he still alive? Didn't we Yes?

(35:10):

Speaker 1 (35:17):
Who else do we have? Page down?

Speaker 2 (35:18):
Vanilla is who's fifty seven today? Skipper Alan Hale from
Andy from Lionel Lakes, Vanilla Ice guests by Late Night

guests by Great the real Estate Mogul in Baltimore.

Speaker 1 (36:01):
All Right, what say you, Eddie?

Speaker 5 (36:03):
I'm gonna go with former Pittsburgh pirate skipper Danny Murtau.

Speaker 2 (36:06):
It's an interesting name, but medicin incorrectly correct answer.

Speaker 1 (36:10):
He managed the Anaheim Angels.

Speaker 2 (36:13):
Mike Soocia beat the Yankees as a Dodger as a player.

Speaker 1 (36:20):
And beat the Yankees.

Speaker 4 (36:23):
The third degree. This is one gets grill.

Speaker 10 (36:30):
Reports say that these Seahawks have been getting called about
the availability availability of DK Metcalf, Ben, Do you think
there's any chance Seattle would let their star wide receiver go.

Speaker 1 (36:40):
Oh yeah, he's not immovable.

Speaker 2 (36:42):
If somebody offers you three first round draft picks for
DK Metcalf, you make the trade. Seattle's stuck in this
pit of mediocrity. They're not terrible, they're just average. They're
not good enough to win a Super Bowl. Gino Smith
sucks and the defense isn't all that, but they're not horrific.
They're average, And if you trade DK Metcalf, you're probably

(37:05):
still average. So if somebody gives them a godfather offer,
they'll trade him. Other than that, they'll just hold on
to him.

Speaker 10 (37:11):
Next Chargers rookie wide receiver Laden McConkey. Yeah, had his
first real breakout game of his career with one hundred
and eleven receiving yards and two touchdowns against the Saints
last weekend. After the game, Jim Harbaugh compared him to
Steve Smith. But do you think the Chargers have found
a diamond in the rough. Well, it's so soon to say.
I mean, he played well in that game. The Saints
have been getting gouged by everybody. They've been bludgeing by,

(37:34):
you know, guys that are good, guys that are bad.
So does he stand the test of time.

Speaker 2 (37:39):
But one thing I know about Jim Harbaugh, this guy
is a bullshoy artist. Okay, this guy lays it on thick,
so I wouldn't take anything. Harbaugh says. This guy just
talks crap all the time. He's up selling, he's adding puffery.
So we'll see what he does on the field. I'm
not gonna go by Harbaugh.

Speaker 10 (37:55):
Next, Blake Griffin has reported the in line to become
the face of the Amazon Prime Video's NBA coverage that
begins next season.

Speaker 1 (38:02):
Ben, do you think Griffin will be a good fit?

Speaker 2 (38:05):
Well, I like Blake Griffin. I enjoyed him with the Clippers.
The Lob City days were great, and Doc Rivers ruined
that and all. But no, there's only He's the chevyone
wants Barkley. He's not gonna be Charles Barkley. There's only
one Charles bark Blake Griffins, He's gonna fall short.

Speaker 1 (38:20):
Of that, so I'm not I'm not expecting much. How
do we do he passes, win, We won the game.
