Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go. Welcome, It's our number three, our three
of the original Recipe podcast, Happy Tuesday, the third day
of December. Talking to some baseball has one Soto agreed
to a contract? No, he has not. However, there is
some baseball news. Rob Manford, as we like to call
(00:21):
Manfraud the Commissioner said, there's buzz around a golden at
bat rule among Major League Baseball owners. How does this
sound to you? Will analyze what this would mean in
the big picture. Also, we'll go back to football, where
coach Dan Campbell says he did not quote give a
crap that running back Jamiir Gibbs leaked the Lion code
(00:44):
words for the world to see on the internet. What's
your viewpoint on this one? And the Rams have made
a claim and they have acquired former Commander's first round
pick Emmanuel Forbes off Waivers. How do you appraise this one?
We'll talk about that and much more more right now here.
It is our number three, A diamond in the rough.
(01:07):
Welme in the beginning of another hour of the Ben
Malors Show. We are together yet again. We're in the
air everywhere, melting your ear drums as we unlock the
rhythm of the night coast coast, border to border and
(01:29):
beyond on the vast and mischievously powerful microphones of FSR,
emanating live from the Pepper as our sports takes get
extra salt and pepper all night long. We're broadcasting live
from the tierraq dot Com studios tyraq dot com. We'll
help you get there in unmatched selection, fast, free shipping,
(01:53):
free road hazard protection at over ten thousand recommended installers.
Remember this guy named Sir scratch Off that used to
call the show, and he always liked that number ten thousand.
He's retired as a caller tire rack dot com The
Way Tire Buying show Me. So our lead this hour
from baseball. Has one Soto signed a contract with the
(02:15):
Mets or the Yankees or the mystery team. No, he's not.
We're still waiting that news should come down by the
end of the week. But our lead this hour is
from Major League Baseball and the Chatter, And I'm actually
looking forward to talking about this. I've been looking forward
to this all day and I wanted to talk about
this with you. It's a rather drastic rule change that
(02:39):
is under consideration, so the much maligned it's just a
hunk of metal. Commissioner Rob Manford, as we like to
call him on The show Man Fraud, Rob Manford has
revealed that he is considering what can only be described
as an out of this world looney tunes like rule change,
(02:59):
Buckle up, buckeroo. If you have not heard you think
the ghost runner is bad. You think eliminating the slide,
the takeout slide at second base and at home plate,
the wissification of baseball is embarrassing. You ain't seen nothing yet.
You have not seen nothing yet because the Commissioner Rob
Manfred recently revealed that there are high level talks that
(03:22):
have taken place at the owners meetings. There is a
lot of buzz around the idea of a golden at
bat rule, not to be confused with what our friend
Rob Parker, our colleague likes to say is the golden hammer. No,
this is the golden at bat rule. Now what is
that you say? So let me explain this to you
(03:42):
like you're five years old. I'm gonna explain this to
you in layman terms. So a team, any random team,
can choose one at bat, one single at bat, every
game and use their top offensive player, regardless of whether
(04:03):
or not they're supposed to be up at that time
or not. Do you understand. For example, let's say it's
the Doyers, a team close to my heart there, reigning
champions of baseball. They say the Dodgers are trailing, they're
playing I'm playing the Giants, and they're down. It's the
ninth inning. They got a couple of runners on base.
(04:24):
Let's say if that says the base is loaded. So
the bases are loaded, there's two out, and they're number
nine hitters coming up. So Dave Roberts goes out. He says,
I would like to take the gold in that bat
right now, and so Shohei Otani all of a sudden
abracadabra steps into the batter's box and gets his turn
(04:47):
at play. In the batter's box, he gets to hit,
even though he's not supposed to hit. There's a rule
called hitting out of order. But that's essentially what this
would be. It would be a one time, one use
only replacement, not a substitution like a pinch hitter. Pinch
(05:07):
hitter would replace the player that was in the game,
and that player would not be able to come back
to the game. That's not what this is so, let
us discuss Rob Manford, the Commissioner of Baseball, admitting there
is a bit of a groundswell, a grassroots movement, if
you will, among the billionaires the aristocrats, to fundamentally change
(05:30):
the game of baseball. There is buzz around this golden
at bat rule among the ownership class of Major League Baseball.
How does this sound to you? So I've got PB
and J penalty box and has Matt suit and we
(05:50):
will combine all of these things together and we will
provide a real commissioner, not a commissioner trying to destroy
the game of baseball, a real commissioner that's actually looking
out for the best interest of baseball. So, first of all,
Rob Manford is playing with balloons. He's like a clown
playing with balloons. He's floating out with this is I'll
(06:11):
tell you this is. This is a trial balloon. It's
an absolute you know that it's a trial balloon. That's
what this is. It's like the old EBS system, which
really hasn't used anymore. This is a test. This is
a test of the emergency broadcast system. This is only
a test. Blah blah blah, blah blah blah, blah. Right,
Manford and his helpers are using the media to float
(06:35):
this idea out into the ether, and they're testing it out.
They're seeing what is the pulse of the people, what's
the reaction on sports talk radio, what's the reaction on
social media? Get the pulse of the room here, you
get the temperature in the room. That's what this is
all about. Rob Manford is back yet again in Frankenstein's lab,
(06:58):
futzing around with the beakers and trying to come up
with that secret formula to forever change baseball at the
core of Major League Baseball. It is so lame and
to think that Rob Manford makes millions and millions of
dollars and he's essentially ripping off ideas from the Savannah
Bananas that they might as well just hire the president
(07:21):
of the Savannah Bananas. After this, we predict that Major
League Baseball will allow ouch to be registered when fans
catch foul balls. That's coming to baseball as well. It's
so stupid, right, It goes against the essence of what
baseball is, which makes all the sense in the world
that Rob Manford is supporting in the early stages the
(07:45):
golden at bat rule, Right, the reason he's supporting it
is he doesn't like baseball. He's the commissioner at Baseball.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Now.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
I'm sure at some point he liked it, but he
doesn't like it anymore. Remember Rob Manford's just a late
attorney that was hired during a labor negotiation and just
stuck around and has continued. It's the Peter principle. He
reaches highest level of incompetence and he has stayed there.
Now he's the commissioner of baseball. He claims that this
(08:15):
is his last term of duty and by I think
it's twenty thirty or twenty twenty nine, he'll be out.
But how much damage is going to be done? And
does anyone think this is a good idea? Now, I'll
tell you some people that do think it's a good
idea in a minute, and that would be the owners
in baseball. I have heard for years that the people
(08:36):
that own baseball teams feel like they're getting short change right.
But this goes against the fundamental essence of what baseball is.
Baseball is a weak link sport. We've talked about this
all the time. We always talk about this when the
playoffs come around, that it doesn't matter that if you
have the biggest and the highest paid players in the sport,
(08:59):
doesn't matter, right. It is often the quality of the
secondary player that determines who wins or not. Even the
Dodgers they won the World Series this year. You remember
Tommy Bleepin' Edmund was the hero for the Dodgers in
the NLCS. But the reason that Rob Manford and the
people a Baseball are tossing this out and the owners
(09:22):
would support something like this is because of PB and
J hold the peanut butter extra jelly. They are jelly.
They feel like they've gotten shortchanged. Why them explain? If
you own a basketball team, Let's say you own the
Boston Celtics. It's a close game, you're coming down the stretch.
If you want, you can have Jason Tatum, who's your
(09:46):
top player, take every shot, every single shot. If you
own an NFL team and you have a really good quarterback,
let's say you're the Kansas City Chiefs, the Hunt family
that inherited that old family money, and you own the
chief You're paying Patrick Mahomes top dollar. You're trailing. It's
the fourth quarter. Who's got the ball in his hands?
(10:09):
Ding ding Ding ding ding that's right. You're correct, Mahomes
has the ball in his hand. If you own a
baseball team and you're paying Shoe Heotani seven hundred million
dollars and you're trailing in the ninth inning, there is
no guarantee, no guarantee that Shoe ALTONI will get a
(10:31):
batter Aaron Judge or any of the top stars in baseball.
And this is something that I've heard this for years
before Rob Man. The owners of baseball have been annoyed
by this. They feel like they're not getting enough return
on investment, and they think that that is the missing link,
that that is what separates baseball and their popularity of baseball,
(10:54):
that it would be even bigger if it was more
like the NBA and it was more like the NFL.
Now I fund them mentally disagree with this. I think
it's absurd. If you want to have a sport where
your top player is guaranteed of having the ball in
his hands, buy a basketball team or buy a football team. Okay,
this is baseball, right, And the owners, even though they
(11:16):
feel like they're getting the raw deal, that's just what
you signed up for. You knew when you bought the
team That's what it was like. So get some better
secondary actors on your team, all right, now, turning the
page on that, we'll take some calls on that later.
But turning the page, we'll go to the NFL an
amusing story out of Motown where the top team in
the NFC their head coach Dan Campbell. Lions head coach
(11:40):
Dan Campbell said he is not overly concerned that his
running back Tremier Gibbs, they say, accidentally accidentally leaked all
of the code words that running backs use for drop
back protections to protect Jared Goff in the passing game. Campbell,
(12:03):
on his weekly radio show in Detroit, said, I don't
really give a crap, he said, Okay, now, Dan Campbell
says that he didn't give a crap. He also went
on to say that you know, essentially would just give
the other team our plays. It doesn't matter. So what
is your viewpoint on the Lions coach and his I
(12:24):
don't give a crap attitude on one of his players
leaking the nuclear codes of the Lions offense. All right,
So I'm gonna go first on this, and I actually
agree with Campbell the premise that Campbell's making. I agree
with on this. If you lose because of some code words,
that means you were not good enough. Now, the part
(12:46):
of the story here where I disagree is the part
where Dan Campbell's like, Ah, this is no big deal
and he's just dismissing this while it's not gonna matter
and wins and losses. It is a fundamental violation of
the bubble of trust. Jamir Gibbs has been sent to
the penalty box for the Lions. You gotta have to
(13:07):
run Gassers is what he ought to have to do.
And this was not accidentally leaked. It was not It
was sloppy. You see, Jamir Gibbs, the Lions running back,
posted a video of his teammate Jamar Jefferson of the Lions,
and in that video, it was on Instagram, little video clip,
(13:31):
Jefferson was standing in front of a whiteboard, a whiteboard
that contained all of the protection calls for the Detroit Lions,
all of them just standing there. La la la la
la la la la la la la la la la
la la la. Now, Campbell said that they should just
post the whole frickin' playbook. Why not. He was being sarcastic, obviously,
(13:54):
but I think you should do it. You know, this
reminds me of to what it's obviously the modern verse
from this. But years ago, there was a basketball player
who I knew when he played for the Clippers. He
was out of Saint John's named Malik Seely. Good dude,
and he played on some terrible Clipper teams and he
was eventually he ended up in Minnesota was killed by
(14:15):
a drunk driver. Wonderful dude. But Malik Seely, early in
his career, was playing believed with the Indiana Pacers and
they were playing the Knickerbockers in the playoffs. And Malik
Seely lost his playbook at Laquardia Airport and somebody found
the playbook for the Indiana Pacers and gave it to
(14:38):
the Iman don Imus, who at that time was a
big morning guy wfan and New York and don Imas
read the scouting report and the playbook of the Indiana
Pacers on his radio show before a playoff game. And
I believe the New York Post actually ran all of
(14:59):
the plays. They got a copy of it. They ran
all the plays in the New York Post, and it
was just one of I remember that story very well.
It was hilarious at the time. All right, final thought.
We now head to the high speed transaction wire and
that is where the LA rms. You can ram it
all day, you can ram it all night. The LA
(15:20):
Rams have claimed former Commander's first round pick Emmanuel Forbes
off the waiver wire. They picked him up. How do
you appraise this one? So I just spend a lot
of time on this, but several of you said, what
do you think of this? Do you think that's a
good move? Like, I'm the spokesperson for the l A Rams,
but here's my appraisal. The fact that he was available
(15:45):
tells you all you need to know. This guy was
a first round pick Forbes in twenty twenty three out
of Mississippi State. Sean McVay right now, when he greeted
this player Forbes, when he greeted him at the airport,
he didn't say morning time like Rick and Maryland. No, no, no.
(16:06):
He put on a rubber hasmad suit is what he did.
All right? Because Forbes, you talk about a diminished asset.
In the span of less than two years, you go
from the sixteenth overall pick in the twenty twenty three
NFL Draft to the waiver wire. You know how much
you have to stink in the eyes of the Washington
football team. And I know he was drafted by the
(16:28):
previous regime and that was a Ron rivera draft pick.
But you've got to be radioactive your first round pick,
and within a year this must be a lack of focus,
a lack of dedication. So it's obviously the Rams are gambling.
They're willing to take a flyer and that this will
be a scared, straight, come to Jesus type situation where
(16:51):
this guy Forbes will get his act together and stop
goofing around and will actually take his job seriously and
live up to the scouting report. Because at Mississippi State,
the reason he was drafted in the top twenty in
the NFL draft, he was a ballhawk. He was a
dangerous playmaker, and he played very well against some top
wide receivers in the Southeastern Conference and in the NFL. Garbage, garbage, garbage,
(17:17):
all right, is the Ben Mahler Show, which hopefully is
not garbage. We'll take your calls eight seven, seven ninety nine. Fix.
I do want to know what you think. And if
you don't want to call up, that's fine. You can
hide behind the X machine. What do you think of
Rob Manfredy this golden at bat role. We started the
monologue with that where you will change baseball and every
(17:38):
team at one point. I assume we'd all save this
for the ninth Then maybe somebody would use it early
in the game and you just rotate the lineup and
you give your top player a chance where they don't
deserve it, runners in scoring position. So I'll get your
thoughts on that time.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Now.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Four the Malor Riddle of the day. And here's the
Mallard Riddle of the day. Well, ticket price is very expensive,
so some fans recently impersonated Blank in order to avoid
having to pay those ticket prices at Texas A and M. Again,
a couple of fans recently impersonated Blank in order to
(18:20):
avoid the high ticket prices at Texas A and M.
A Texas A and M football game. That is the
Mallor Riddle of the day. No cheating, Do not cheat.
If you know the answer, send it in tag me
on there on ex at Ben Maller the Mallar Riddle
of the day. We'll get to the answer. We will
do it, and we will do it next.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
It is I Bill Miller. We'll get back to the
nonsense in a minute. A reminder, I've been asked to
beg you to send messages off on the social media
platform formerly known as Twitter but now called x for
a while there. Otherwise the show will end. Nope, will not,
but follow Ben at Ben Maller Coop de Loop at
(19:14):
Bronco Fan and Lorraine at FSR Tech Queen in back
to it we go. That's right, the show is over. Good, No,
it show's not. Bill's wrong on that show's not over.
We have the mallor riddle of the day right now.
Then we'll get to the calls also later there. Remember
(19:34):
that guy he quit the show. He couldn't handle it,
too stressful to be a paid caller on the show.
So marked the full name guy can't handle the heat.
And you imagine having to quit a radio show because
it's too stressful to be a paid caller. What a dope. Anyway,
here's the mallor riddle of the day, and here we go.
Some fans impersonated Blank in order to avoid high ticket
(19:56):
prices at Texas A and M recently. That is the questioned,
what is the answer to the mallor riddle of the day,
And let's see does anyone know the answer? We go
to the great unwashed, you so many creative people, and
let's see if we have any of those answers. Luke,
(20:16):
the vending guy, obviously paying close attention, said they impersonated
John Stamos. That's the answer. Late night drug tester says
they impersonated Chuck Knoblock. That's random. Cowboy Drew, the keeper
of the mallard cow is up and listening. Christopher in
Kansas City said they were dressed up as RoboCop. That
(20:37):
was the answer. Ferg Dog says a Fox Sports radio host.
Well that's a good photo of me, thank you. Who
else do we have? Minions? Asher said? Minions is the answer?
Green Bay Gobbler and Cowboy Drew one of those guys
I think Cowboy Drew said, said Chucky. Who else do
we have? Page down? They dressed up as felexis guessed
(20:59):
by Alf the Alien old piner Donkey Sausage said Paramedics
John and Roy from that iconic show Emergency Backround sausage.
A good old school reference there. I used to like
that show when I was a kid. I forty Ian,
says Bear Bryant. Is the correct answer. Robin Minnesota says
(21:21):
they impersonated Texas A and M alumnus Johnny Football Willie Nelson
guessed by Eke and Roseville Minnesota Christopher legally blind Christopher
in the Carolinas but his Hearts in Michigan says they
must have been acting like Stevie wonder Bert got it right,
but he cheated, so who cares about him? Incoterra, says
the artist formerly known as Donut Kelly. According to inco Terror,
(21:45):
who else do you have? Page down? Bill Cosby? He
went there from Chuck. That's his answer, all right? Loree
up the answer to the Mallard riddle of day fans
recently impersonated Blank in order to avoid high ticket prices
at Texas A and M.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
Well. Obviously, Ben, they dressed up as jolly old Saint Nicholas.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Because who would charge him for a ticket of course
at Santa Claus. Is that correct? No, that is incorrect.
The correct answer. The two random people impersonated construction workers. Yeah,
they tried to enter the stadium. Oh yeah, we're doing construction. Yeah,
(22:29):
we're doing We're doing We want to get in the
stadium here and all that stuff. And they wanted to
watch number three Texas, number twenty Texas A and M
at Kyle Field. And they want to end on the
money or they want to pay for it. And so
two men wearing reflective vests and hard hats entered the
stadium with fake construction credentials and they were rested for
(22:51):
criminal trespassing. Brilliant. You're not allowed to do that now,
the two future MENSA members, one was twenty one years
old from College Station and the other one was twenty
two years old from Houston, and they were they rested
on Saturday at Kyle Field. This is this is great.
(23:12):
So the names they used for the fake credentials, I
don't even think I can say these on they're like
Bart Simpson's names. One was Harry as one one thousand
and two, one thousand crack, so I can say that, right,
the one one thousand and two, one thousand crack. The
(23:33):
other one was Duncan Mick and then like Brian Cox
our old old talk shows and then uh yeah in heer.
Uh so I was quite the quite the creative names
there for the two young young lads. The thing about
(23:53):
fun names are gonna come up with what would yours be? Well,
I couldn't say them on the radio, my my fun name?
What would you? Or what would your figure? No, maybe
like Brandon tinker Off or something. Oh there you go.
Well you just said it. See you look at you.
You just you just went there and you went down
that road. Let's go to the phones. Let's say hello too.
I gotta get some calls on. We haven't done that
much of that. Blind Scott is on the North end
of Boston. Hello, blind Scott, welcome, Hey, what's.
Speaker 5 (24:16):
Up part that's the best idea ever. Remember you did that?
You posted as a Costco worker.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
And I did. Yes, Yes, I was a Costco worker
for Halloween. Yeah yeah, no.
Speaker 5 (24:27):
Not Halloween. That was really You took the TV. You
went into Costco dressed as a Costo worker. Then you
were pushing it in the car, but the cart stopped
working because you left the area of Costco. Remember the wheel,
Scott Champ Oh.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Yeah, yeah I do remember that. Yes, I had a
very well, it was very busy. It was a Saturday
at Costco and I had to park far away, and
I got my groceries and I was pushing the cart
and I parked so far away the cart stopped in
the middle of the street. It was like a graveyard
for shopping carts because they had a censor, but yet
they allowed you to park in this line, but then
(25:00):
you couldn't take your groceries to the lot. Does that
make any sense, blind Scott?
Speaker 5 (25:05):
Yeah, but I just learned. How long did you push
the cart before you realize the sensor was on at
like for five minutes?
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Well, I no, I didn't, wasn't five minutes. I dragged
it and then I looked around and there were a
bunch of other carts. It was like I'm telling you,
there were There were like seven or eight other carts
because the same thing had happened to other people. I
wasn't alone.
Speaker 5 (25:23):
That's where they don't come to Boston because the real
estate's so expensive. They don't want to have a big
They can't afford the space, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Oh yeah, but they can put well, now, Scott, they
could put a Costco out here in Foxborough. There's a
bunch of trees out there, just cut some trees down,
put a Costco in.
Speaker 5 (25:37):
They go one itever, but that takes two hours to
get to. Dude. I got a uniform like that, I
construction one with that. Police actually took it away from me.
I had like a can of mace like so I
could put that on, like a construction type of uniform
to blend into the crowd, you know what I mean,
like in a high like you know, like whatever on
around here. It's a good it's a good idea, but
you can't do it anymore now because so many people
(25:59):
are doing it, and now they're stealing packages because it's Christmas.
I told you Dylan retired. He just quit. He doesn't
want to do it anymore. He's gone. He left.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Really no more, Dylan. It's all over doing.
Speaker 5 (26:13):
Yeah, it's over. I need a new dog now, Oh.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
You gotta go back to Jersey. That's where you go
to get the dog, right, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (26:18):
As we get the best dogs. Yeah, they just I
need a fast working dog and they don't have any
of the pipeline.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Now, so what happens to Dylan? What happens now? I
know your your your old dog Kramer is retired with
the family.
Speaker 5 (26:32):
Yeah, maybe he bit the waitress that time.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Yes, yes, yes, yeah. We were at a pizza place,
me and blind Scott in Boston and uh, of course
not your fault, blind Scott. You couldn't see it, but
the dog attacked the waitress at the pizza Rea. Is
the dog also blind?
Speaker 5 (26:47):
No?
Speaker 1 (26:47):
No, I think he just liked the waitress. I think
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (26:51):
Yeah, yeah, the dog. He went to the cape to
retire the dog. You know, you know, people were calling
the police on me when they saw me, and they
don't work together because he wouldn't go. People aren't friendly
when they see you yelling at a dog. I was like,
you know what I mean, just books bad and it
was caused me too much.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
Stress, you know, I understand. All right, Well, Hopelly, you'll
get a new dog, and you don't get to pick
the name, right, They picked the name for you, so
you have no idea.
Speaker 5 (27:12):
Yeah, maybe in the future you'll get a retired dog
for me. They don't seem to be making it more
than three here, and that's it.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
Man. When you do walk a lot though, you're you're
a waiting minute something. He got rid of Dylan. Well, Dylan,
he said, Dylan, quick, yeah.
Speaker 5 (27:25):
Quick, quick coop with this? Did he quit when we
were working with Coop Coop? Remember how we quit that
day when we were working that was a real long day.
He'd started doing that, like in the morning, and I
was like this, I don't want this.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Damn all right, no more Dylan, all right, but barely
knew you're Dylan. I just saw Dylan. We were outside
the bakery there. I gotta go, thank you, Scott, go away.
There's a blind Scot. Let's say hello do Manuel in Guardina,
Hello Manuel in southern California?
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Oh, riveting talk from a sight lit swirl over there
in the mean town eight. What's Dylan's last name? Uranus
or uronics? As what's your name? Would say? Another good
name is Ben.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
Dover right, Yeah, I know, I never I never heard
that one. Or how about Ben Ben Gay. I never
heard that one either. I never got that one as
a kid.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
All right, growing up in the eighties, Benny, we had
a million of them, right, oh yeah, oh yeah, politically correct.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Unfortunately, no nobody was politically correct. We all survived, though,
we all survived.
Speaker 2 (28:27):

Speaker 3 (29:58):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (29:59):
Since you're a I was talking about construction. I heard
a joke on the radio over the holidays, and this
guy's girlfriend said that she needed more compliments. So he said,
all right, sweetie, hopping the car and he took her
down to a construction site and she got more compliments.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
Yeah. Well, I mean, there's nothing quite like the compliments
that construction work women now. Really do appreciate women.
Speaker 6 (30:27):
Pretty rough, you know. Since y'all were talking about something earlier,
and it made me think of the Super Bowl with
the Falcons and the Patriots. And for the Super Bowl,
one of the sports outlets on the radio reported that
the offensive coordinator's black satchel bag that the baggage claim
(30:52):
got mixed up with the bag that looked just like
one of the check bags for the Patriots, and apparently
they had it for like a few hours before they discovered.
They discovered, but it wasn't their bag, and then they
had that monster comeback in the second half.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
I thought that, Hell, that's very random. You're the Remember
remember when Guy Chad, you're the Remember when Guy all Right,

Yeah, he missed.
Speaker 4 (35:09):
Eric Dickerson was the Rams running back, and nobody Manny Ramirez.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
Nobody knows who Vanny Ramirez is. All right, that's fine.
Oh you know, when the when the pressure's on, it's
a little tough, all right, Brian clues. I just want
the record to show those clues were amazing. Brian.
Speaker 5 (35:24):
Would you like to tell the end of the world?
Speaker 1 (35:26):

Giants in the Super Bowl with Eli Manning? He caught that?
Odell Beckham? No, this is somebody. How about mister big shot?
They called him for the Lakers and the Rockets and

I think Jameis Winston had a better day than you,
I believe my god. Yes, Broadway Jill name it is? Uh?
(38:01):
He missed there. No one's ever heard about George. I

cracker man, is time flying?
Speaker 2 (39:09):
By?
Speaker 1 (39:09):
Wow wowsers.
Here we go. Welcome, It's our number three, our three
of the original Recipe podcast, Happy Tuesday, the third day
of December. Talking to some baseball has one Soto agreed
to a contract? No, he has not. However, there is
some baseball news. Rob Manford, as we like to call
(00:21):
Manfraud the Commissioner said, there's buzz around a golden at
bat rule among Major League Baseball owners. How does this
sound to you? Will analyze what this would mean in
the big picture. Also, we'll go back to football, where
coach Dan Campbell says he did not quote give a
crap that running back Jamiir Gibbs leaked the Lion code
(00:44):
words for the world to see on the internet. What's
your viewpoint on this one? And the Rams have made
a claim and they have acquired former Commander's first round
pick Emmanuel Forbes off Waivers. How do you appraise this one?
We'll talk about that and much more more right now here.
It is our number three, A diamond in the rough.
(01:07):
Welme in the beginning of another hour of the Ben
Malors Show. We are together yet again. We're in the
air everywhere, melting your ear drums as we unlock the
rhythm of the night coast coast, border to border and
(01:29):
beyond on the vast and mischievously powerful microphones of FSR,
emanating live from the Pepper as our sports takes get
extra salt and pepper all night long. We're broadcasting live
from the tierraq dot Com studios tyraq dot com. We'll
help you get there in unmatched selection, fast, free shipping,
(01:53):
free road hazard protection at over ten thousand recommended installers.
Remember this guy named Sir scratch Off that used to
call the show, and he always liked that number ten thousand.
He's retired as a caller tire rack dot com The
Way Tire Buying show Me. So our lead this hour
from baseball. Has one Soto signed a contract with the
(02:15):
Mets or the Yankees or the mystery team. No, he's not.
We're still waiting that news should come down by the
end of the week. But our lead this hour is
from Major League Baseball and the Chatter, And I'm actually
looking forward to talking about this. I've been looking forward
to this all day and I wanted to talk about
this with you. It's a rather drastic rule change that
(02:39):
is under consideration, so the much maligned it's just a
hunk of metal. Commissioner Rob Manford, as we like to
call him on The show Man Fraud, Rob Manford has
revealed that he is considering what can only be described
as an out of this world looney tunes like rule change,
(02:59):
Buckle up, buckeroo. If you have not heard you think
the ghost runner is bad. You think eliminating the slide,
the takeout slide at second base and at home plate,
the wissification of baseball is embarrassing. You ain't seen nothing yet.
You have not seen nothing yet because the Commissioner Rob
Manfred recently revealed that there are high level talks that
(03:22):
have taken place at the owners meetings. There is a
lot of buzz around the idea of a golden at
bat rule, not to be confused with what our friend
Rob Parker, our colleague likes to say is the golden hammer. No,
this is the golden at bat rule. Now what is
that you say? So let me explain this to you
(03:42):
like you're five years old. I'm gonna explain this to
you in layman terms. So a team, any random team,
can choose one at bat, one single at bat, every
game and use their top offensive player, regardless of whether
(04:03):
or not they're supposed to be up at that time
or not. Do you understand. For example, let's say it's
the Doyers, a team close to my heart there, reigning
champions of baseball. They say the Dodgers are trailing, they're
playing I'm playing the Giants, and they're down. It's the
ninth inning. They got a couple of runners on base.
(04:24):
Let's say if that says the base is loaded. So
the bases are loaded, there's two out, and they're number
nine hitters coming up. So Dave Roberts goes out. He says,
I would like to take the gold in that bat
right now, and so Shohei Otani all of a sudden
abracadabra steps into the batter's box and gets his turn
(04:47):
at play. In the batter's box, he gets to hit,
even though he's not supposed to hit. There's a rule
called hitting out of order. But that's essentially what this
would be. It would be a one time, one use
only replacement, not a substitution like a pinch hitter. Pinch
(05:07):
hitter would replace the player that was in the game,
and that player would not be able to come back
to the game. That's not what this is so, let
us discuss Rob Manford, the Commissioner of Baseball, admitting there
is a bit of a groundswell, a grassroots movement, if
you will, among the billionaires the aristocrats, to fundamentally change
(05:30):
the game of baseball. There is buzz around this golden
at bat rule among the ownership class of Major League Baseball.
How does this sound to you? So I've got PB
and J penalty box and has Matt suit and we
(05:50):
will combine all of these things together and we will
provide a real commissioner, not a commissioner trying to destroy
the game of baseball, a real commissioner that's actually looking
out for the best interest of baseball. So, first of all,
Rob Manford is playing with balloons. He's like a clown
playing with balloons. He's floating out with this is I'll
(06:11):
tell you this is. This is a trial balloon. It's
an absolute you know that it's a trial balloon. That's
what this is. It's like the old EBS system, which
really hasn't used anymore. This is a test. This is
a test of the emergency broadcast system. This is only
a test. Blah blah blah, blah blah blah, blah. Right,
Manford and his helpers are using the media to float
(06:35):
this idea out into the ether, and they're testing it out.
They're seeing what is the pulse of the people, what's
the reaction on sports talk radio, what's the reaction on
social media? Get the pulse of the room here, you
get the temperature in the room. That's what this is
all about. Rob Manford is back yet again in Frankenstein's lab,
(06:58):
futzing around with the beakers and trying to come up
with that secret formula to forever change baseball at the
core of Major League Baseball. It is so lame and
to think that Rob Manford makes millions and millions of
dollars and he's essentially ripping off ideas from the Savannah
Bananas that they might as well just hire the president
(07:21):
of the Savannah Bananas. After this, we predict that Major
League Baseball will allow ouch to be registered when fans
catch foul balls. That's coming to baseball as well. It's
so stupid, right, It goes against the essence of what
baseball is, which makes all the sense in the world
that Rob Manford is supporting in the early stages the
(07:45):
golden at bat rule, Right, the reason he's supporting it
is he doesn't like baseball. He's the commissioner at Baseball.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Now.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
I'm sure at some point he liked it, but he
doesn't like it anymore. Remember Rob Manford's just a late
attorney that was hired during a labor negotiation and just
stuck around and has continued. It's the Peter principle. He
reaches highest level of incompetence and he has stayed there.
Now he's the commissioner of baseball. He claims that this
(08:15):
is his last term of duty and by I think
it's twenty thirty or twenty twenty nine, he'll be out.
But how much damage is going to be done? And
does anyone think this is a good idea? Now, I'll
tell you some people that do think it's a good
idea in a minute, and that would be the owners
in baseball. I have heard for years that the people
(08:36):
that own baseball teams feel like they're getting short change right.
But this goes against the fundamental essence of what baseball is.
Baseball is a weak link sport. We've talked about this
all the time. We always talk about this when the
playoffs come around, that it doesn't matter that if you
have the biggest and the highest paid players in the sport,
(08:59):
doesn't matter, right. It is often the quality of the
secondary player that determines who wins or not. Even the
Dodgers they won the World Series this year. You remember
Tommy Bleepin' Edmund was the hero for the Dodgers in
the NLCS. But the reason that Rob Manford and the
people a Baseball are tossing this out and the owners
(09:22):
would support something like this is because of PB and
J hold the peanut butter extra jelly. They are jelly.
They feel like they've gotten shortchanged. Why them explain? If
you own a basketball team, Let's say you own the
Boston Celtics. It's a close game, you're coming down the stretch.
If you want, you can have Jason Tatum, who's your
(09:46):
top player, take every shot, every single shot. If you
own an NFL team and you have a really good quarterback,
let's say you're the Kansas City Chiefs, the Hunt family
that inherited that old family money, and you own the
chief You're paying Patrick Mahomes top dollar. You're trailing. It's
the fourth quarter. Who's got the ball in his hands?
(10:09):
Ding ding Ding ding ding that's right. You're correct, Mahomes
has the ball in his hand. If you own a
baseball team and you're paying Shoe Heotani seven hundred million
dollars and you're trailing in the ninth inning, there is
no guarantee, no guarantee that Shoe ALTONI will get a
(10:31):
batter Aaron Judge or any of the top stars in baseball.
And this is something that I've heard this for years
before Rob Man. The owners of baseball have been annoyed
by this. They feel like they're not getting enough return
on investment, and they think that that is the missing link,
that that is what separates baseball and their popularity of baseball,
(10:54):
that it would be even bigger if it was more
like the NBA and it was more like the NFL.
Now I fund them mentally disagree with this. I think
it's absurd. If you want to have a sport where
your top player is guaranteed of having the ball in
his hands, buy a basketball team or buy a football team. Okay,
this is baseball, right, And the owners, even though they
(11:16):
feel like they're getting the raw deal, that's just what
you signed up for. You knew when you bought the
team That's what it was like. So get some better
secondary actors on your team, all right, now, turning the
page on that, we'll take some calls on that later.
But turning the page, we'll go to the NFL an
amusing story out of Motown where the top team in
the NFC their head coach Dan Campbell. Lions head coach
(11:40):
Dan Campbell said he is not overly concerned that his
running back Tremier Gibbs, they say, accidentally accidentally leaked all
of the code words that running backs use for drop
back protections to protect Jared Goff in the passing game. Campbell,
(12:03):
on his weekly radio show in Detroit, said, I don't
really give a crap, he said, Okay, now, Dan Campbell
says that he didn't give a crap. He also went
on to say that you know, essentially would just give
the other team our plays. It doesn't matter. So what
is your viewpoint on the Lions coach and his I
(12:24):
don't give a crap attitude on one of his players
leaking the nuclear codes of the Lions offense. All right,
So I'm gonna go first on this, and I actually
agree with Campbell the premise that Campbell's making. I agree
with on this. If you lose because of some code words,
that means you were not good enough. Now, the part
(12:46):
of the story here where I disagree is the part
where Dan Campbell's like, Ah, this is no big deal
and he's just dismissing this while it's not gonna matter
and wins and losses. It is a fundamental violation of
the bubble of trust. Jamir Gibbs has been sent to
the penalty box for the Lions. You gotta have to
(13:07):
run Gassers is what he ought to have to do.
And this was not accidentally leaked. It was not It
was sloppy. You see, Jamir Gibbs, the Lions running back,
posted a video of his teammate Jamar Jefferson of the Lions,
and in that video, it was on Instagram, little video clip,
(13:31):
Jefferson was standing in front of a whiteboard, a whiteboard
that contained all of the protection calls for the Detroit Lions,
all of them just standing there. La la la la
la la la la la la la la la la
la la la. Now, Campbell said that they should just
post the whole frickin' playbook. Why not. He was being sarcastic, obviously,
(13:54):
but I think you should do it. You know, this
reminds me of to what it's obviously the modern verse
from this. But years ago, there was a basketball player
who I knew when he played for the Clippers. He
was out of Saint John's named Malik Seely. Good dude,
and he played on some terrible Clipper teams and he
was eventually he ended up in Minnesota was killed by
(14:15):
a drunk driver. Wonderful dude. But Malik Seely, early in
his career, was playing believed with the Indiana Pacers and
they were playing the Knickerbockers in the playoffs. And Malik
Seely lost his playbook at Laquardia Airport and somebody found
the playbook for the Indiana Pacers and gave it to
(14:38):
the Iman don Imus, who at that time was a
big morning guy wfan and New York and don Imas
read the scouting report and the playbook of the Indiana
Pacers on his radio show before a playoff game. And
I believe the New York Post actually ran all of
(14:59):
the plays. They got a copy of it. They ran
all the plays in the New York Post, and it
was just one of I remember that story very well.
It was hilarious at the time. All right, final thought.
We now head to the high speed transaction wire and
that is where the LA rms. You can ram it
all day, you can ram it all night. The LA
(15:20):
Rams have claimed former Commander's first round pick Emmanuel Forbes
off the waiver wire. They picked him up. How do
you appraise this one? So I just spend a lot
of time on this, but several of you said, what
do you think of this? Do you think that's a
good move? Like, I'm the spokesperson for the l A Rams,
but here's my appraisal. The fact that he was available
(15:45):
tells you all you need to know. This guy was
a first round pick Forbes in twenty twenty three out
of Mississippi State. Sean McVay right now, when he greeted
this player Forbes, when he greeted him at the airport,
he didn't say morning time like Rick and Maryland. No, no, no.
(16:06):
He put on a rubber hasmad suit is what he did.
All right? Because Forbes, you talk about a diminished asset.
In the span of less than two years, you go
from the sixteenth overall pick in the twenty twenty three
NFL Draft to the waiver wire. You know how much
you have to stink in the eyes of the Washington
football team. And I know he was drafted by the
(16:28):
previous regime and that was a Ron rivera draft pick.
But you've got to be radioactive your first round pick,
and within a year this must be a lack of focus,
a lack of dedication. So it's obviously the Rams are gambling.
They're willing to take a flyer and that this will
be a scared, straight, come to Jesus type situation where
(16:51):
this guy Forbes will get his act together and stop
goofing around and will actually take his job seriously and
live up to the scouting report. Because at Mississippi State,
the reason he was drafted in the top twenty in
the NFL draft, he was a ballhawk. He was a
dangerous playmaker, and he played very well against some top
wide receivers in the Southeastern Conference and in the NFL. Garbage, garbage, garbage,
(17:17):
all right, is the Ben Mahler Show, which hopefully is
not garbage. We'll take your calls eight seven, seven ninety nine. Fix.
I do want to know what you think. And if
you don't want to call up, that's fine. You can
hide behind the X machine. What do you think of
Rob Manfredy this golden at bat role. We started the
monologue with that where you will change baseball and every
(17:38):
team at one point. I assume we'd all save this
for the ninth Then maybe somebody would use it early
in the game and you just rotate the lineup and
you give your top player a chance where they don't
deserve it, runners in scoring position. So I'll get your
thoughts on that time.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Now.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Four the Malor Riddle of the day. And here's the
Mallard Riddle of the day. Well, ticket price is very expensive,
so some fans recently impersonated Blank in order to avoid
having to pay those ticket prices at Texas A and M. Again,
a couple of fans recently impersonated Blank in order to
(18:20):
avoid the high ticket prices at Texas A and M.
A Texas A and M football game. That is the
Mallor Riddle of the day. No cheating, Do not cheat.
If you know the answer, send it in tag me
on there on ex at Ben Maller the Mallar Riddle
of the day. We'll get to the answer. We will
do it, and we will do it next.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
It is I Bill Miller. We'll get back to the
nonsense in a minute. A reminder, I've been asked to
beg you to send messages off on the social media
platform formerly known as Twitter but now called x for
a while there. Otherwise the show will end. Nope, will not,
but follow Ben at Ben Maller Coop de Loop at
(19:14):
Bronco Fan and Lorraine at FSR Tech Queen in back
to it we go. That's right, the show is over. Good, No,
it show's not. Bill's wrong on that show's not over.
We have the mallor riddle of the day right now.
Then we'll get to the calls also later there. Remember
(19:34):
that guy he quit the show. He couldn't handle it,
too stressful to be a paid caller on the show.
So marked the full name guy can't handle the heat.
And you imagine having to quit a radio show because
it's too stressful to be a paid caller. What a dope. Anyway,
here's the mallor riddle of the day, and here we go.
Some fans impersonated Blank in order to avoid high ticket
(19:56):
prices at Texas A and M recently. That is the questioned,
what is the answer to the mallor riddle of the day,
And let's see does anyone know the answer? We go
to the great unwashed, you so many creative people, and
let's see if we have any of those answers. Luke,
(20:16):
the vending guy, obviously paying close attention, said they impersonated
John Stamos. That's the answer. Late night drug tester says
they impersonated Chuck Knoblock. That's random. Cowboy Drew, the keeper
of the mallard cow is up and listening. Christopher in
Kansas City said they were dressed up as RoboCop. That
(20:37):
was the answer. Ferg Dog says a Fox Sports radio host.
Well that's a good photo of me, thank you. Who
else do we have? Minions? Asher said? Minions is the answer?
Green Bay Gobbler and Cowboy Drew one of those guys
I think Cowboy Drew said, said Chucky. Who else do
we have? Page down? They dressed up as felexis guessed
(20:59):
by Alf the Alien old piner Donkey Sausage said Paramedics
John and Roy from that iconic show Emergency Backround sausage.
A good old school reference there. I used to like
that show when I was a kid. I forty Ian,
says Bear Bryant. Is the correct answer. Robin Minnesota says
(21:21):
they impersonated Texas A and M alumnus Johnny Football Willie Nelson
guessed by Eke and Roseville Minnesota Christopher legally blind Christopher
in the Carolinas but his Hearts in Michigan says they
must have been acting like Stevie wonder Bert got it right,
but he cheated, so who cares about him? Incoterra, says
the artist formerly known as Donut Kelly. According to inco Terror,
(21:45):
who else do you have? Page down? Bill Cosby? He
went there from Chuck. That's his answer, all right? Loree
up the answer to the Mallard riddle of day fans
recently impersonated Blank in order to avoid high ticket prices
at Texas A and M.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
Well. Obviously, Ben, they dressed up as jolly old Saint Nicholas.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Because who would charge him for a ticket of course
at Santa Claus. Is that correct? No, that is incorrect.
The correct answer. The two random people impersonated construction workers. Yeah,
they tried to enter the stadium. Oh yeah, we're doing construction. Yeah,
(22:29):
we're doing We're doing We want to get in the
stadium here and all that stuff. And they wanted to
watch number three Texas, number twenty Texas A and M
at Kyle Field. And they want to end on the
money or they want to pay for it. And so
two men wearing reflective vests and hard hats entered the
stadium with fake construction credentials and they were rested for
(22:51):
criminal trespassing. Brilliant. You're not allowed to do that now,
the two future MENSA members, one was twenty one years
old from College Station and the other one was twenty
two years old from Houston, and they were they rested
on Saturday at Kyle Field. This is this is great.
(23:12):
So the names they used for the fake credentials, I
don't even think I can say these on they're like
Bart Simpson's names. One was Harry as one one thousand
and two, one thousand crack, so I can say that, right,
the one one thousand and two, one thousand crack. The
(23:33):
other one was Duncan Mick and then like Brian Cox
our old old talk shows and then uh yeah in heer.
Uh so I was quite the quite the creative names
there for the two young young lads. The thing about
(23:53):
fun names are gonna come up with what would yours be? Well,
I couldn't say them on the radio, my my fun name?
What would you? Or what would your figure? No, maybe
like Brandon tinker Off or something. Oh there you go.
Well you just said it. See you look at you.
You just you just went there and you went down
that road. Let's go to the phones. Let's say hello too.
I gotta get some calls on. We haven't done that
much of that. Blind Scott is on the North end
of Boston. Hello, blind Scott, welcome, Hey, what's.
Speaker 5 (24:16):
Up part that's the best idea ever. Remember you did that?
You posted as a Costco worker.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
And I did. Yes, Yes, I was a Costco worker
for Halloween. Yeah yeah, no.
Speaker 5 (24:27):
Not Halloween. That was really You took the TV. You
went into Costco dressed as a Costo worker. Then you
were pushing it in the car, but the cart stopped
working because you left the area of Costco. Remember the wheel,
Scott Champ Oh.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Yeah, yeah I do remember that. Yes, I had a
very well, it was very busy. It was a Saturday
at Costco and I had to park far away, and
I got my groceries and I was pushing the cart
and I parked so far away the cart stopped in
the middle of the street. It was like a graveyard
for shopping carts because they had a censor, but yet
they allowed you to park in this line, but then
(25:00):
you couldn't take your groceries to the lot. Does that
make any sense, blind Scott?
Speaker 5 (25:05):
Yeah, but I just learned. How long did you push
the cart before you realize the sensor was on at
like for five minutes?
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Well, I no, I didn't, wasn't five minutes. I dragged
it and then I looked around and there were a
bunch of other carts. It was like I'm telling you,
there were There were like seven or eight other carts
because the same thing had happened to other people. I
wasn't alone.
Speaker 5 (25:23):
That's where they don't come to Boston because the real
estate's so expensive. They don't want to have a big
They can't afford the space, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Oh yeah, but they can put well, now, Scott, they
could put a Costco out here in Foxborough. There's a
bunch of trees out there, just cut some trees down,
put a Costco in.
Speaker 5 (25:37):
They go one itever, but that takes two hours to
get to. Dude. I got a uniform like that, I
construction one with that. Police actually took it away from me.
I had like a can of mace like so I
could put that on, like a construction type of uniform
to blend into the crowd, you know what I mean,
like in a high like you know, like whatever on
around here. It's a good it's a good idea, but
you can't do it anymore now because so many people
(25:59):
are doing it, and now they're stealing packages because it's Christmas.
I told you Dylan retired. He just quit. He doesn't
want to do it anymore. He's gone. He left.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Really no more, Dylan. It's all over doing.
Speaker 5 (26:13):
Yeah, it's over. I need a new dog now, Oh.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
You gotta go back to Jersey. That's where you go
to get the dog, right, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (26:18):
As we get the best dogs. Yeah, they just I
need a fast working dog and they don't have any
of the pipeline.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Now, so what happens to Dylan? What happens now? I
know your your your old dog Kramer is retired with
the family.
Speaker 5 (26:32):
Yeah, maybe he bit the waitress that time.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Yes, yes, yes, yeah. We were at a pizza place,
me and blind Scott in Boston and uh, of course
not your fault, blind Scott. You couldn't see it, but
the dog attacked the waitress at the pizza Rea. Is
the dog also blind?
Speaker 5 (26:47):
No?
Speaker 1 (26:47):
No, I think he just liked the waitress. I think
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (26:51):
Yeah, yeah, the dog. He went to the cape to
retire the dog. You know, you know, people were calling
the police on me when they saw me, and they
don't work together because he wouldn't go. People aren't friendly
when they see you yelling at a dog. I was like,
you know what I mean, just books bad and it
was caused me too much.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
Stress, you know, I understand. All right, Well, Hopelly, you'll
get a new dog, and you don't get to pick
the name, right, They picked the name for you, so
you have no idea.
Speaker 5 (27:12):
Yeah, maybe in the future you'll get a retired dog
for me. They don't seem to be making it more
than three here, and that's it.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
Man. When you do walk a lot though, you're you're
a waiting minute something. He got rid of Dylan. Well, Dylan,
he said, Dylan, quick, yeah.
Speaker 5 (27:25):
Quick, quick coop with this? Did he quit when we
were working with Coop Coop? Remember how we quit that
day when we were working that was a real long day.
He'd started doing that, like in the morning, and I
was like this, I don't want this.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Damn all right, no more Dylan, all right, but barely
knew you're Dylan. I just saw Dylan. We were outside
the bakery there. I gotta go, thank you, Scott, go away.
There's a blind Scot. Let's say hello do Manuel in Guardina,
Hello Manuel in southern California?
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Oh, riveting talk from a sight lit swirl over there
in the mean town eight. What's Dylan's last name? Uranus
or uronics? As what's your name? Would say? Another good
name is Ben.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
Dover right, Yeah, I know, I never I never heard
that one. Or how about Ben Ben Gay. I never
heard that one either. I never got that one as
a kid.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
All right, growing up in the eighties, Benny, we had
a million of them, right, oh yeah, oh yeah, politically correct.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Unfortunately, no nobody was politically correct. We all survived, though,
we all survived.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
Hey, what's Lorena's let's hear it.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
One of my classmates would call me Peterskin Wow, that's respect,
is what that is? That's respect.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Hey, So now let's get to the clown show that
he's man fraud. I mean, what the hell are we
talking about, Benny? I mean I could deal with the
robottoms because Eric Gregg ain't walking through that door. I mean,
umpires have been terrible, but and thankfully that cowboy duces retired.
(29:01):
Talk about a trash umpire.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
Great job, the great Joe West.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Back in the now we're talking about uh, you know,
uh freaking golden at batch. I mean, I'd rather see
a dark right golden shower than this sham. What the
help going on? I mean, you know, what's the next man?
They're gonna run out the t ball for the team
that's freaking uh god, got the golden awl bat at bad.
(29:25):
I mean, take it all away, man, friend, this guy's
a joke. Benny, what are you doing?
Speaker 1 (29:31):
No, it's it's it's absurd. And this is something the
Savannah Bananas were doing, and you're you're ripping things off
from the Savannah bananas. What are we doing here? All right? Man? Well,
thank you buddy. That alo dude. Chad, By the way,
if you want to play Mallards Mount of money. I

Speaker 5 (29:58):
Hey?
Speaker 3 (29:58):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (29:59):
Since you're a I was talking about construction. I heard
a joke on the radio over the holidays, and this
guy's girlfriend said that she needed more compliments. So he said,
all right, sweetie, hopping the car and he took her
down to a construction site and she got more compliments.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
Yeah. Well, I mean, there's nothing quite like the compliments
that construction work women now. Really do appreciate women.
Speaker 6 (30:27):
Pretty rough, you know. Since y'all were talking about something earlier,
and it made me think of the Super Bowl with
the Falcons and the Patriots. And for the Super Bowl,
one of the sports outlets on the radio reported that
the offensive coordinator's black satchel bag that the baggage claim
(30:52):
got mixed up with the bag that looked just like
one of the check bags for the Patriots, and apparently
they had it for like a few hours before they discovered.
They discovered, but it wasn't their bag, and then they
had that monster comeback in the second half.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
I thought that, Hell, that's very random. You're the Remember
remember when Guy Chad, you're the Remember when Guy all Right,
I gotta let you go. But thank you check check
for checking in there from Dallas. We will press on.
I need some contestants, and I don't have my content.
