It's our Numbmber three, hour number three of the Original
Recipe podcast. On this Tuesday, it is opening day in
Major League Baseball. Sho hey Otani's Dodgers are the overwhelming
favors to win the World Series in the gambling market
as they begin the twenty twenty five season. What is
(00:25):
your level of confidence in the bums the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
We'll talk about that.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Also, sho he Otani opened up about being in the
spotlight ahead of the Tokyo game, saying that he does
not want to let the kids down. How does that
sound to you as the Dodgers getting ready to play
baseball this season? And how do you explain the Savannah
Banana's popularity, which included recently selling out a game at
(00:53):
sixty five thousand seat Raymond James Stadium. It's an NFL stadium,
the home of the Buccaneers. Will us that and more?
Right now here? It is our number three. They are
called the Big Blue Wrecking Crew, but will they be
wrecking Major League Baseball this season? Welcome in the beginning
(01:17):
of another hour of the Ben Mather Show. We are
in the air aywhere that's right, face to face and
one on one as we catch as catch can coast

Speaker 1 (02:05):
Show b So our lead this art I know, I
know Trucker Joe's a.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Big fan of that number, and certainly Mason the Millennial
several other you knuckleets loved that number ten thousand. So
our lead this hour is from baseball. We are a
couple hours away from the start of the Major League
Baseball season, the twenty twenty five season gonna get underway
from Tokyo. It's a morning pitch, first pitch, and just
(02:35):
after six a m. Eastern three am Pacific. It is
on like Donkey Kong, the Dodgers and the Cubs Nation
League matchup. And that is our you know leader is
from baseball. As we wait now the Epicenter of the
United States. People in New York love to claim it's Manhattan.
So from Manhattan to is over six thousand, seven hundred miles.
(03:03):
Now from LA, it's like over five thousand miles. I
think it's like fifty four hundred miles or something from
LA to Tokyo. And you can do the math from
Chicago if you want. So, the Dodgers and Cubs will
cut the ribbon, the curtain will go up on the
twenty twenty five season a game later today and again tomorrow.
And you know what this is all about. Well, the
Cubs and Dodgers are playing. This is a barnstorming situation.
(03:28):
This is one of the great money grabs by Major
League Baseball.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Get that money, I get that money.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
There is an addiction to Shohei Otani in Japan. He
is the Michael Jordan of Japanese baseball, and they are
milking that cow for all the cash they can get.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Don't blame them. Don't blame them.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
It's not ideal if you love watching Opening Day for
a lot of people, I don't really care. It's perfect
for us because we're up at these hours anyway, so
I don't really affect us at all. In fact, it's
really just about as good as you can get. Do
the show, and then you know baseball game, and then
that's great. So it's wonderful. But it's all about the Dodgers.
Dodgers are in the center square and they are the
(04:10):
rock stars. They are the team that moves the needle. Here,
Shoe Aotani has worldwide appeal, and the big Blue wrecking
crew is omni present, and they're here, they're there, They're
everywhere at this point, So let us discuss the question.
Shoe Heotani's Dodgers an overwhelming favorite, the biggest favorite baseball
(04:33):
has seen in almost twenty five years.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Almost. It's just about I got to go back to
some of those.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Yankee teams, the tail end of the Yankees run, the
last time baseball had a team that was this big
of favorite.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
To win the Pennant.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
And as the season gets going here and today's the
day where all the magic begins, what is your level
of confidence in the Bumtons the Dodgers. So I've got
bud Light, Jolton, Joe and reincarnation, and we will combine
all of these things together and we are gonna make.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
A soft pretzel with Nacho cheese.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
One of the great things about going to the ballpark
is getting a soft pretzel with nacho cheese and spending
approximately like fifty bucks on that piece of dough.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Just great.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
All right, So, first of all, my first thought on
this on the Malar Scale of confidence, which is the
record measurement of confidence. The Malor Scale of confidence is
the most important tool that we have to judge confidence. Now,
Malar scale of confidence goes one to ten, with ten
being it is guarantee, garanteed you're gonna get it done,
(05:53):
no chance that it doesn't work out. So I'm not
out a ten. I am not at a nine and
a half. I am not I am I'm at a nine.
I am at a nine. Here's why I'm at a nine. Now,
nine's pretty high, nine's really good. Nine's a really good
number on the matter scale of conference for the Dodgers.
But I'm at a nine. And if you look at
(06:14):
the Dodger roster right now today, even though Mookie Bets
isn't playing because he's got the creeping crud or whatever
he's got, we're not getting a whole store in that
Mookie's out of the lineup because he's sick. Normally, when
you're sick, they give you an IV and you're good
to go in a day. The Dodgers, I believe, sent
him back to the States, so that must be more
than just the creeping cruds.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Who knows. So he's out of the lineup.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
The shortstops out, But the Dodgers are filled to the
brim this roster. They have no obvious weak spots, which
really bothers the Dodger haters. I know, I've not gotten
a lot of hate from the Dodger He normally I
get a lot of craft from the Dodger haters. You
know who you are, mostly live in Houston or San Francisco.
Haven't got a lot of that. You're pretty numb right now.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
I get it.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
I'd be numb to it this particular point. The Dodgers
have the ace of diamonds pretty much everywhere on the field.
You've got Shoe a Otani, Mookie Bets when he comes
back in the lineup, and Freddie Freeman, which are the
like the old school bud Light marking, back when bud
Light was cool and they had the real men of genius.
(07:16):
You think of that marketing campaign. I think of those
guys as the mister Giant Taco salad inventor guy. You know,
those guys are so stacked in the middle of that
lineup at the very top of the middle. There's like
twelve thousand calorie salad. That's but it's healthy because it's
you know, those guys right in the middle of that
Dodger line up there and in the back end of
(07:37):
the bullpen, which is really modern baseball is all about
back end of the bullpen in the playoffs, and you've
got Tanner Scott who was a stud last year, and
Kirby Yates and Blake Trining and so that'll take care
of in theory the seventh, eighth, and ninth inning, so
it's pretty much a seven inning game.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Now. The only mild.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Spot that I look at ad on the Dodgers and
I say, ain't particularly great is like that middle middle part.
But that's mainly because there's pitchers that are currently on
the injured report formerly knows the.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Disarebled list back before the Wolkesters took.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Over, and so the rotation is absolutely stacked with electric arms.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Now. The only reason I can't go higher.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Than a nine on the Malar scale of confidence is
the fact that we're talking baseball.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
If this is basketball or football, i'd be like a
thirteen out of ten.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
But in baseball, as you know, the thing that we
like about it and the thing that we hate about
it is a weak link sport that the quality of
the secondary actors is often more important than it is
in any other sport. Meaning, for example, like in baseball,
by rule, you spread everything around, you can't stack the
(08:54):
lineup where you're guaranteed, like the Dodgers cannot guarantee that
Shoe hail Tony's going to bat in the ninth inning
if they're down by a run, or you can't guarantee
that a certain pitcher is going to be on the
mound in a certain game because you're setting your rotation
prior to that and whatnot. And so it means like
the weakest guys on the Dodger lineup, and they're going
(09:15):
to rotate some of these people. But Michael CONFORDO, James Outman,
some guys like that that are kind of there and
kind of fringe guys like they'll have opportunities, but sometimes
that works out well. One of those fringe guys was
the Nation League Most Valuable Player in the NLCS anyway,
NLCS MVP who they got Tommy Edmond in a trade
(09:37):
from the Cardinals. Now, secondly, speaking of the Dowyers, and
since this is really just a barnstorming tour to make
as much money as they can, I don't blame them.
There's reports of lines of people outside gift shops around
Tokyo buying overpriced Dodger merch and can't get enough of it,
can't keep it on the shelves. So shoy ol Tani
sat down. He did an interview through his interpreter with
(10:00):
the CBS Evening News, which is apparently still a thing
who knew and prior to the opener of Major League
Baseball season and which is getting started here today. And
there's one part of it that caught my attention that
I'd like to share with the class.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
And you're in the class if you didn't see it.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
So Shoyltani he opened up about being in the middle
of the spotlight, right right in the middle there ahead
and this was ahead of the games in Tokyo with
the Cubs, and he gave this quote, which is the
money quote, and he said.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Don't let the kids down. That was his quote about.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
His mindset going into playing the Cubs and playing these
games in Japan. Don't let the kids down. So how
does that sound to you? So my initial reaction was, well,
that sounds kind of corny and hokey and things like that,
and then I flashed back, I remember hearing this quote
before my time, and it goes back to yesteryear. So
we're going the hot top time machine way back, and
(10:59):
it sounded like Jolton Joe DiMaggio, because Joe Demaggio, there's
this famous store.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
I don't know it is sure not out in there.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
But it's been repeated to me by multiple people that
a reporter asked Damagio is like, why did you Why
do you play so hard?
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Joe? And what's going on?
Speaker 2 (11:16):
I mean because even back then there were players lazy
in baseball, but Joe Demaggio played hard.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
What are you doing? Are you playing hard? And you
don't have to play hard all the time?
Speaker 2 (11:23):
And DiMaggio supposedly responded to the reporter, He's like, listen,
there might be somebody in the crowd there who had
never ever seen me play before.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
It might never ever see me play again.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
So that was that was the money quote before social
media and all man so I got that same vibe
listening to Otani. It's legend building, it's Paul Bunyan, it's
Johnny Appleseed, it's all that.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
And so that's that's where we are. Back it up.
Got to back it up now, all right?
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Final thought, quickly, quickly, several of you who live in
the great state of Florida attended a event the other day,
and you were bothered that I did not talk about it.
And so you independently assume, independently, maybe you guys were
in coats, but as far as I know, you're not
(12:11):
related to each other and you don't know each other.
And so you reached out and said, hey, I was
at this game and you didn't talk about it. I
thought it was kind of a cool scene. We enjoyed it,
family enjoyed it. So I will address the issue. How
do you explain the Savannah Bananas, the Savannah Bananas popular
area which included and the reason I'm bringing this up now,
(12:32):
they recently played a game at Raymond James Stadium that
is a sixty five thousand seat venue which they sold out.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
They sold this game out.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
It's the home of the NFL's Buccaneers and a couple
of our listeners who are in the Tampa area were
at the game and reached out. They were upset we
didn't talk about it. So how do you explain the
popularity of this particular team. So the from what I've seen,
I've not set down and watch the Savannah Bananas.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
I've seen clips on the socials.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
So the bananas are a reincarnation of what used to
be pretty popular in basketball. I know they're still around,
but they're not really popular by the Harlem Globe Trotters.
It's like that same vibe. But how embarrassing is it
for the Tampa Bay Rays, who literally draw flies to
their game if they sometimes can't even get flies to attend.
(13:26):
Even the Maggots don't want to attend their games there
in Tampa, And in that same area, sixty five thousand
seat that's like stadium sold out for a baseball game.
That's like three home stands for the Tampa Bay Rays
to fill the stadium up.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
And the Savannah Banannas come.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
In there and they spread around and they get that massive,
massive attendance, and it's a viral sensation of the modern
TikTok nation. I guess you could say, and it's like
the quote from the old baseball movie Kevin Coster's movie
Back in the Day. If you build it, he will
come the field their dreams quote from Back in the Day.
It's a hybrid version of baseball and they use alternative
(14:06):
rules and it's very popular. People love it. Apparently they
love it because it's limited. They don't play that many games.
It's a barnstorming operation. They travel around and I actually
looked up some tickets. They're gonna come we do the
show from southern California.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
They're gonna be an Anaheim in May, and.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
They've almost sold out the Big A somebody the Angels
only do when they give away a bobblehead. The tickets
that are available are like a couple hundred bucks on
the secondary market, so they're going to sell that stadium out.
It's crazy, and from what I understand of it, maybe
I'm wrong on this. Each game they have different rules
(14:44):
where for example, and again this is as I understand it,
the players are not allowed to step out of the
batter's box and if they do, that's it. If they
try to bunt, they're kicked out of the game. They're
not allowed to step out each inning is like its
own little game.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
They have like mini games. You're not on golf.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
You have to win each hole and then you count
up the score and all that. So each inning is
a games kind of like I guess maybe tennis would
be the better way to describe that. And they also
have innings that can end on the walk off. They
also have a strict time limit of no inning can
start after one hour and fifty minutes, and if they
(15:26):
fail to reach.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Nine innings, that's it.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
The game's over, Go home, get out of here, kind
of like a Broadway show, Like Broadway Broadway show, Vegas show.
I've had friends that have worked on these. They said,
ninety minutes, that's the sweet spot. Ninety minutes with a
fifteen minute intermission. That's what you want in a show
in Broadway or in Vegas.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Ninety minutes and that's it.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
And batters can steal first base in the Savannah Banana
game and it's like scripted reality. That's the clip that
went via a couple of years ago. I remember that
Stuck with Me is some dude walked out of the
dugout and he was playing guitar hero as he was
walking to take his a bat.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
But it works, you know, it's good. Good for them.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
They they found something that resonates. And how long this
is gonna last, who knows. But this is when I
was a kid. I remember my parents took me to
see the Harlem Globetrotters. It was like a really cool thing.
And I was a naive child and I thought, Wow,
that's real what I'm watching. And then I later learned
that there were ringers on the other side, the Washington Generals.
I had no idea. I thought I was a legitimate game.
I thought they were just really bad at basketball. I
(16:33):
had no concept. All right, anyway, it is the Ben
Mahlor Show. I want to comment on any of that.

well that is right to the gas baggery does continue,
and that is I Ben, and you got to pay
off the Mallor riddle of the day. The sam Raisco Giants,
that's the baseball team, are selling a ninety eight ounce
(19:05):
souvenir blank for over twenty two dollars. Over twenty two dollars.
That is the malor riddle of the day. And what
is the answer, Miguel on Fire says. The Giants are
selling a commemorative ninety six ounce ice cream helmet that
fit Barry Bond's gigantic head. Luke the vending guy is good.
(19:28):
When Luke the vending guy checks in, he says, a
rice a Roni the San Francisco Treat late night drug
test assays the giants are selling souvenirs of tears from
the old Oakland Athletic fans. That is a low blow.
That is a low blow. How dare you berries go
go juice? According to alf the alien opiner that would
(19:50):
be available in the clear and the cream variety. Yeah,
Verry the master of that ninety eight ounces of belly
button lint from Lady side Burns.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Who else do we have?
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Steven Meatballs went with a certain type of marinera sauce.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
I'm sure he'll be complaining. I didn't say the full thing.
Who else? King Roy says, XFL Championship Trophy? They have that?
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Paige down Paige don Justin and Cincinnati has a theory
on why baseball is starting the season in Japan. I
think he has nothing to do with that, Justin, but
it has everything to do with what green can.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Do for you.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Frustrated fan teers from Tammy in Vegas. Our friend Tammy
Donkey Sausage says, a helmet full of MINUW Donkey flavored
M and M's all right, that sounds really good. Blind
Scott Muscle relaxer machine, guessed by Milkman Mike and Colorado.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Yeah, yeah, you knuckle it.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
A purple sticky punch from far out Dave two ound
shot of Jack Daniels, Eke and Roseville, Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Got a right bad job by him.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Andy in Line O Lakes, Minnesota says a ninety eight
ounce serving of Doc Mike's Yellow Mellow Lemonade original recipe.
Johnny Q says a block of pooh is the answer.
Timothy from Northern Kentucky says the answer to the riddle
of the day is Buster Posey's some place collision. Dirt
(21:28):
from Buster Posey's collision.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
JT.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
The Wingman in Tennessee's going with the Dodger dog as
his answer. Manuel in Guardina checked in he also went
with a Doc Mike souvenir cup of the Good Stuff
tub of nacho. Guests by JJ. He says, if I'm right,
I didn't cheat this time like I usually do. At
(21:50):
least you're admitting that you have a problem. All right,
let's see here. Does anyone have an answer?
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Mary Mack? Do you have an answer? Mary Max?
Speaker 4 (21:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Tub a bubble gum tub a bum All right, No,
that is incorrect.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
You were dangerously close to getting it right. Bad job
by you.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
The Giants are selling for twenty two dollars and fifty
nine cents a souvenir bat filled with popcorn. Yeah, is
that not one of the great hustles?
Speaker 1 (22:24):
You know?
Speaker 2 (22:24):
How in an inexpensive popcorn is popcorn and butter twenty
two to ninety You know how much popcorn you'd have
to eat to get to that price point of twenty
two dollars and fifty nine cents of popcorn. I think
if you ate that much popcorn, you would likely need
to go see a doctor because you'd be eating so
much popcorn that it's like that's that item alone.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
It's it's refillable, which is the gimmick.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
I think, if I'm not mistaken, ninety eight ounces is
like six pounds of popcorn. And that's not the only
new item the Pirates have. The Polish cannon ball sounds
like a sounds like a bat joke. The Pirates says,
you'll be selling the Polish cannonball their games, egg noodle, kilbosa, cabbage, bacon, sadar.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Cheese, and some kind of weird cream dip.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
It's a deep frightening now this one, oh man, the
greatest sandwich I've ever had is in Kansas City, and
they're gonna be selling it at Royals games. I'm sure
the markup's gonna be insane, but they're selling the z
Man sandwich, the famous z Man Sandwich from Kansas City
Joe's Barbecue, and that slow roasted beef brisket little Provolone
(23:35):
and they put an onion ring, a couple of onion
rings on there, and.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
A Kaiser roll. It is awesome, basic and wonderful.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
And whenever I'm in Kansas City, I always have the
Ben Mallard chicken fingers over at the Landing in Liberty,
and then I make sure I wait in line and
I get the z Man sandwich, which is just outstanding.
And I can only imagine how much that's gonna cost
at a Royals game. And there's all kinds of stuff.
There's the Phillies are selling a s'mores case idea that
(24:04):
is ntella. Uh. They've got mini marshmallows, Graham cracker crumble,
crispy flour tortilla shirved with chocolate dipping sauce.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
So you can get that at a in a Phillies game.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
It sounds sounds wonderful unless it doesn't hang on it's
all kinds of crap. Let's go the phones and let's
say hello to weed man hippie who is hanging out
in South Florida.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Hello, weed Man, hippie.
Speaker 4 (24:31):

You want to go to Louisville. You can work at

Speaker 1 (25:10):
But it's up to you.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
It's it gets a little chilly compared to Miami and
Louisville part of the year, so you got to deal
with that, all right.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Do you know where Kentucky is, weed man? You do not.
You have no idea.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
If I gave you a map, you would have no
idea where to find the state of Kentucky.
Speaker 4 (25:28):
I really wouldn't Where.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Where do you think it's at in the I'm curious
where you think Kentucky.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
Is between Miami and like Virginia.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Well, yes, that is accurate.
Speaker 6 (25:45):
That is true. It's it's it's it's west of Georgia.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
It's west of Georgia. It's below Ohio, so you're below
Ohio there, and.
Speaker 4 (26:02):
It's it's not warm.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
Well it's warm, I mean it's in the south, but
it gets a little chilly, you know. It's a couple
of months of the year, but not not like really
terrible anything. It's it's fun and there's a few days
it's probably pretty bad. But other than that it's fine.
I mean, I'm not I don't live there, so I'm
just telling you what I've anyway, So you want to move,
you'll be willing to move. Weed man in Kentucky? Is
that is weed legal in Kentucky? Can we check that
coup see if weed's legal, because that could be a problem.
(26:27):
We don't think it is.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
It is not legal. Okay, that could be a problem.
Weed man. Well we'll have to eliminate that because you're
known as weed man.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
You couldn't give up the weed if you got your
own apartment in Kentucky, but you had to give up
the weed.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Wow, it is.
Speaker 5 (26:40):
It's one of only nineteen states that doesn't even have
a decriminalization law.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Oh yeah, all right, we got to eliminate. Sorry, weed man,
you're screwed. Oh yeah, but.
Speaker 5 (26:50):
How I'm curious though, do you still like because you know,
obviously you've you know, you're sharing a room and it's just,
you know, it's tough times out there. How often do
you still smoke?
Speaker 4 (27:03):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (27:07):
You just can't get caught.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
You can't drop, you just can't get caught.
Speaker 5 (27:11):
Well, no, I just I didn't know if you, you know, yeah,
had the ability to purchase me.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Life's let a plug. Life's not that bad for him. Okay,
that's he's all right. Well we've been listened. I don't
know what to tell you. We'll see if we can
find somebody in a state where weed's legal that would
like you to live there. And remember, we tried to
find you a place you accused me of having you kidnapped.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
So I just want to point that out. You did.
You said I had your kidnapped. Remember the guy the room.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
That you were staying at, and then you got all
upset with me and you yelled at me.
Speaker 4 (27:41):
And that's not true.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
You don't remember, no, you. Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
So there was a listener, remember the listeners like, hey,
I got an extra room, I want weed Man to
stay here. And you went and stayed with the guy.
And then somehow the cops got involved. And then remember
you don't remember that.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
No, that's the weed Wow.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
You're losing your memory, weed Man. Oh my goodness. I
can show you the emails you sent me.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
You were very.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Upset, and you stopped calling the show for a while.
I think that was because he kept getting arrested. Anyway,
all right, well, thanks for checking in. Jokes are coming
up at the end of the week. Lame jokes Friday, Yes, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:21):

Boxing because the boxing killed itself.

UFC came along and.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Boxing is just an afterthought.
Speaker 2 (28:34):

exist anymore. And that's part of the problem. Americans love
American boxes. There's not that great American boxer. Heavyweight heavyweights

Speaker 4 (31:33):
Let me explain it. The banana banana whatever.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
You're the Savannah banana. They sold out Raymond James Stadium.
Speaker 4 (31:41):
Raymond, they sold it out. It's not baseball, Ben Okay,
it's like going to it. It's like going to a movie,
a Broadway show, going to the Burkas and seeing a
high wire ax. It's not baseball. So the comparing the
two it is ridiculous. It's like, it's not baseball. Okay,
the clown's jumping around.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
Was such a stick in the mud. You were such
a What happened to you? You were you were you
kicked as a child or something. What happened?
Speaker 1 (32:08):
My god.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
They're wearing baseball uniforms, are holding bats. There's a ball,
there's gloves, that's all baseball stuff. There's a diamond, there's
a pitching man, there's first base, second base, third base,
there's homeplate.
Speaker 4 (32:18):
All of the props. They're using it as props for
a show, a show.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
Okay, well, maybe baseball should do some of that stuff
because they're selling out the Tampa Bay Rays get four
thousand people that I saw. The Rays couldn't even sell
out their home their home opener, and they're a minor
league ballpark.
Speaker 4 (32:38):
I'm just talking about the Savannah Banana. So I'm not
talking about this.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
I know.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
But the team that you know, they played a baseball
game sold out sixty five thousand seats. And the major
league baseball team, which you say is you know, that's baseball.
They can't sell eleven thousand seats to their home opener.
Speaker 4 (32:54):
Well I don't. I got a feel, and you're just
not listening to what I'm trying to tell you, Ben,
it's not baseball. It's a show.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Okay, Well, isn't isn't baseball supposed to be entertainment and
a show. Isn't that what they're selling? A show?
Speaker 1 (33:05):
It's entertainment, Yes they are, they are. Absolutely. It's show
business baseball. No, it is a show.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
So I'm telling you the people in baseball say it's
show business. You gotta have stars, you gotta have you know, entertainment.
It's show business.
Speaker 4 (33:20):

Speaker 2 (00:03):
It's our Numbmber three, hour number three of the Original
Recipe podcast. On this Tuesday, it is opening day in
Major League Baseball. Sho hey Otani's Dodgers are the overwhelming
favors to win the World Series in the gambling market
as they begin the twenty twenty five season. What is
(00:25):
your level of confidence in the bums the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
We'll talk about that.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Also, sho he Otani opened up about being in the
spotlight ahead of the Tokyo game, saying that he does
not want to let the kids down. How does that
sound to you as the Dodgers getting ready to play
baseball this season? And how do you explain the Savannah
Banana's popularity, which included recently selling out a game at
(00:53):
sixty five thousand seat Raymond James Stadium. It's an NFL stadium,
the home of the Buccaneers. Will us that and more?
Right now here? It is our number three. They are
called the Big Blue Wrecking Crew, but will they be
wrecking Major League Baseball this season? Welcome in the beginning
(01:17):
of another hour of the Ben Mather Show. We are
in the air aywhere that's right, face to face and
one on one as we catch as catch can coast
to coast, port of the border and beyond on the
vast and ginormously powerful microphones of fsre emmating live from
(01:43):
the Waltz s Overnight Wisdom Waltz We're broadcasting live from

Speaker 1 (02:05):
Show b So our lead this art I know, I
know Trucker Joe's a.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Big fan of that number, and certainly Mason the Millennial
several other you knuckleets loved that number ten thousand. So
our lead this hour is from baseball. We are a
couple hours away from the start of the Major League
Baseball season, the twenty twenty five season gonna get underway
from Tokyo. It's a morning pitch, first pitch, and just
(02:35):
after six a m. Eastern three am Pacific. It is
on like Donkey Kong, the Dodgers and the Cubs Nation
League matchup. And that is our you know leader is
from baseball. As we wait now the Epicenter of the
United States. People in New York love to claim it's Manhattan.
So from Manhattan to is over six thousand, seven hundred miles.
(03:03):
Now from LA, it's like over five thousand miles. I
think it's like fifty four hundred miles or something from
LA to Tokyo. And you can do the math from
Chicago if you want. So, the Dodgers and Cubs will
cut the ribbon, the curtain will go up on the
twenty twenty five season a game later today and again tomorrow.
And you know what this is all about. Well, the
Cubs and Dodgers are playing. This is a barnstorming situation.
(03:28):
This is one of the great money grabs by Major
League Baseball.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Get that money, I get that money.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
There is an addiction to Shohei Otani in Japan. He
is the Michael Jordan of Japanese baseball, and they are
milking that cow for all the cash they can get.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Don't blame them. Don't blame them.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
It's not ideal if you love watching Opening Day for
a lot of people, I don't really care. It's perfect
for us because we're up at these hours anyway, so
I don't really affect us at all. In fact, it's
really just about as good as you can get. Do
the show, and then you know baseball game, and then
that's great. So it's wonderful. But it's all about the Dodgers.
Dodgers are in the center square and they are the
(04:10):
rock stars. They are the team that moves the needle. Here,
Shoe Aotani has worldwide appeal, and the big Blue wrecking
crew is omni present, and they're here, they're there, They're
everywhere at this point, So let us discuss the question.
Shoe Heotani's Dodgers an overwhelming favorite, the biggest favorite baseball
(04:33):
has seen in almost twenty five years.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Almost. It's just about I got to go back to
some of those.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Yankee teams, the tail end of the Yankees run, the
last time baseball had a team that was this big
of favorite.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
To win the Pennant.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
And as the season gets going here and today's the
day where all the magic begins, what is your level
of confidence in the Bumtons the Dodgers. So I've got
bud Light, Jolton, Joe and reincarnation, and we will combine
all of these things together and we are gonna make.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
A soft pretzel with Nacho cheese.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
One of the great things about going to the ballpark
is getting a soft pretzel with nacho cheese and spending
approximately like fifty bucks on that piece of dough.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Just great.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
All right, So, first of all, my first thought on
this on the Malar Scale of confidence, which is the
record measurement of confidence. The Malor Scale of confidence is
the most important tool that we have to judge confidence. Now,
Malar scale of confidence goes one to ten, with ten
being it is guarantee, garanteed you're gonna get it done,
(05:53):
no chance that it doesn't work out. So I'm not
out a ten. I am not at a nine and
a half. I am not I am I'm at a nine.
I am at a nine. Here's why I'm at a nine. Now,
nine's pretty high, nine's really good. Nine's a really good
number on the matter scale of conference for the Dodgers.
But I'm at a nine. And if you look at
(06:14):
the Dodger roster right now today, even though Mookie Bets
isn't playing because he's got the creeping crud or whatever
he's got, we're not getting a whole store in that
Mookie's out of the lineup because he's sick. Normally, when
you're sick, they give you an IV and you're good
to go in a day. The Dodgers, I believe, sent
him back to the States, so that must be more
than just the creeping cruds.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Who knows. So he's out of the lineup.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
The shortstops out, But the Dodgers are filled to the
brim this roster. They have no obvious weak spots, which
really bothers the Dodger haters. I know, I've not gotten
a lot of hate from the Dodger He normally I
get a lot of craft from the Dodger haters. You
know who you are, mostly live in Houston or San Francisco.
Haven't got a lot of that. You're pretty numb right now.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
I get it.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
I'd be numb to it this particular point. The Dodgers
have the ace of diamonds pretty much everywhere on the field.
You've got Shoe a Otani, Mookie Bets when he comes
back in the lineup, and Freddie Freeman, which are the
like the old school bud Light marking, back when bud
Light was cool and they had the real men of genius.
(07:16):
You think of that marketing campaign. I think of those
guys as the mister Giant Taco salad inventor guy. You know,
those guys are so stacked in the middle of that
lineup at the very top of the middle. There's like
twelve thousand calorie salad. That's but it's healthy because it's
you know, those guys right in the middle of that
Dodger line up there and in the back end of
(07:37):
the bullpen, which is really modern baseball is all about
back end of the bullpen in the playoffs, and you've
got Tanner Scott who was a stud last year, and
Kirby Yates and Blake Trining and so that'll take care
of in theory the seventh, eighth, and ninth inning, so
it's pretty much a seven inning game.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Now. The only mild.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Spot that I look at ad on the Dodgers and
I say, ain't particularly great is like that middle middle part.
But that's mainly because there's pitchers that are currently on
the injured report formerly knows the.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Disarebled list back before the Wolkesters took.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Over, and so the rotation is absolutely stacked with electric arms.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Now. The only reason I can't go higher.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Than a nine on the Malar scale of confidence is
the fact that we're talking baseball.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
If this is basketball or football, i'd be like a
thirteen out of ten.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
But in baseball, as you know, the thing that we
like about it and the thing that we hate about
it is a weak link sport that the quality of
the secondary actors is often more important than it is
in any other sport. Meaning, for example, like in baseball,
by rule, you spread everything around, you can't stack the
(08:54):
lineup where you're guaranteed, like the Dodgers cannot guarantee that
Shoe hail Tony's going to bat in the ninth inning
if they're down by a run, or you can't guarantee
that a certain pitcher is going to be on the
mound in a certain game because you're setting your rotation
prior to that and whatnot. And so it means like
the weakest guys on the Dodger lineup, and they're going
(09:15):
to rotate some of these people. But Michael CONFORDO, James Outman,
some guys like that that are kind of there and
kind of fringe guys like they'll have opportunities, but sometimes
that works out well. One of those fringe guys was
the Nation League Most Valuable Player in the NLCS anyway,
NLCS MVP who they got Tommy Edmond in a trade
(09:37):
from the Cardinals. Now, secondly, speaking of the Dowyers, and
since this is really just a barnstorming tour to make
as much money as they can, I don't blame them.
There's reports of lines of people outside gift shops around
Tokyo buying overpriced Dodger merch and can't get enough of it,
can't keep it on the shelves. So shoy ol Tani
sat down. He did an interview through his interpreter with
(10:00):
the CBS Evening News, which is apparently still a thing
who knew and prior to the opener of Major League
Baseball season and which is getting started here today. And
there's one part of it that caught my attention that
I'd like to share with the class.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
And you're in the class if you didn't see it.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
So Shoyltani he opened up about being in the middle
of the spotlight, right right in the middle there ahead
and this was ahead of the games in Tokyo with
the Cubs, and he gave this quote, which is the
money quote, and he said.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Don't let the kids down. That was his quote about.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
His mindset going into playing the Cubs and playing these
games in Japan. Don't let the kids down. So how
does that sound to you? So my initial reaction was, well,
that sounds kind of corny and hokey and things like that,
and then I flashed back, I remember hearing this quote
before my time, and it goes back to yesteryear. So
we're going the hot top time machine way back, and
(10:59):
it sounded like Jolton Joe DiMaggio, because Joe Demaggio, there's
this famous store.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
I don't know it is sure not out in there.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
But it's been repeated to me by multiple people that
a reporter asked Damagio is like, why did you Why
do you play so hard?
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Joe? And what's going on?
Speaker 2 (11:16):
I mean because even back then there were players lazy
in baseball, but Joe Demaggio played hard.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
What are you doing? Are you playing hard? And you
don't have to play hard all the time?
Speaker 2 (11:23):
And DiMaggio supposedly responded to the reporter, He's like, listen,
there might be somebody in the crowd there who had
never ever seen me play before.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
It might never ever see me play again.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
So that was that was the money quote before social
media and all man so I got that same vibe
listening to Otani. It's legend building, it's Paul Bunyan, it's
Johnny Appleseed, it's all that.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
And so that's that's where we are. Back it up.
Got to back it up now, all right?
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Final thought, quickly, quickly, several of you who live in
the great state of Florida attended a event the other day,
and you were bothered that I did not talk about it.
And so you independently assume, independently, maybe you guys were
in coats, but as far as I know, you're not
(12:11):
related to each other and you don't know each other.
And so you reached out and said, hey, I was
at this game and you didn't talk about it. I
thought it was kind of a cool scene. We enjoyed it,
family enjoyed it. So I will address the issue. How
do you explain the Savannah Bananas, the Savannah Bananas popular
area which included and the reason I'm bringing this up now,
(12:32):
they recently played a game at Raymond James Stadium that
is a sixty five thousand seat venue which they sold out.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
They sold this game out.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
It's the home of the NFL's Buccaneers and a couple
of our listeners who are in the Tampa area were
at the game and reached out. They were upset we
didn't talk about it. So how do you explain the
popularity of this particular team. So the from what I've seen,
I've not set down and watch the Savannah Bananas.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
I've seen clips on the socials.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
So the bananas are a reincarnation of what used to
be pretty popular in basketball. I know they're still around,
but they're not really popular by the Harlem Globe Trotters.
It's like that same vibe. But how embarrassing is it
for the Tampa Bay Rays, who literally draw flies to
their game if they sometimes can't even get flies to attend.
(13:26):
Even the Maggots don't want to attend their games there
in Tampa, And in that same area, sixty five thousand
seat that's like stadium sold out for a baseball game.
That's like three home stands for the Tampa Bay Rays
to fill the stadium up.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
And the Savannah Banannas come.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
In there and they spread around and they get that massive,
massive attendance, and it's a viral sensation of the modern
TikTok nation. I guess you could say, and it's like
the quote from the old baseball movie Kevin Coster's movie
Back in the Day. If you build it, he will
come the field their dreams quote from Back in the Day.
It's a hybrid version of baseball and they use alternative
(14:06):
rules and it's very popular. People love it. Apparently they
love it because it's limited. They don't play that many games.
It's a barnstorming operation. They travel around and I actually
looked up some tickets. They're gonna come we do the
show from southern California.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
They're gonna be an Anaheim in May, and.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
They've almost sold out the Big A somebody the Angels
only do when they give away a bobblehead. The tickets
that are available are like a couple hundred bucks on
the secondary market, so they're going to sell that stadium out.
It's crazy, and from what I understand of it, maybe
I'm wrong on this. Each game they have different rules
(14:44):
where for example, and again this is as I understand it,
the players are not allowed to step out of the
batter's box and if they do, that's it. If they
try to bunt, they're kicked out of the game. They're
not allowed to step out each inning is like its
own little game.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
They have like mini games. You're not on golf.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
You have to win each hole and then you count
up the score and all that. So each inning is
a games kind of like I guess maybe tennis would
be the better way to describe that. And they also
have innings that can end on the walk off. They
also have a strict time limit of no inning can
start after one hour and fifty minutes, and if they
(15:26):
fail to reach.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Nine innings, that's it.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
The game's over, Go home, get out of here, kind
of like a Broadway show, Like Broadway Broadway show, Vegas show.
I've had friends that have worked on these. They said,
ninety minutes, that's the sweet spot. Ninety minutes with a
fifteen minute intermission. That's what you want in a show
in Broadway or in Vegas.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Ninety minutes and that's it.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
And batters can steal first base in the Savannah Banana
game and it's like scripted reality. That's the clip that
went via a couple of years ago. I remember that
Stuck with Me is some dude walked out of the
dugout and he was playing guitar hero as he was
walking to take his a bat.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
But it works, you know, it's good. Good for them.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
They they found something that resonates. And how long this
is gonna last, who knows. But this is when I
was a kid. I remember my parents took me to
see the Harlem Globetrotters. It was like a really cool thing.
And I was a naive child and I thought, Wow,
that's real what I'm watching. And then I later learned
that there were ringers on the other side, the Washington Generals.
I had no idea. I thought I was a legitimate game.
I thought they were just really bad at basketball. I
(16:33):
had no concept. All right, anyway, it is the Ben
Mahlor Show. I want to comment on any of that.
You are more than welcome to join us right now.
Lines are open at eight seven, seven ninety nine on

Speaker 1 (17:06):

told that's a baseball team, and they've announced that they
are selling a ninety eight ounce souvenir blank for over
twenty two dollars. The Giants will be selling this season
a ninety eight ounce souvenir of blank for twenty two dollars.
(17:31):

Later this hour, Malar's mountain of money coming up in
a little bit. And right now back to the gas baggery,
well that is right to the gas baggery does continue,
and that is I Ben, and you got to pay
off the Mallor riddle of the day. The sam Raisco Giants,
that's the baseball team, are selling a ninety eight ounce
(19:05):
souvenir blank for over twenty two dollars. Over twenty two dollars.
That is the malor riddle of the day. And what
is the answer, Miguel on Fire says. The Giants are
selling a commemorative ninety six ounce ice cream helmet that
fit Barry Bond's gigantic head. Luke the vending guy is good.
(19:28):
When Luke the vending guy checks in, he says, a
rice a Roni the San Francisco Treat late night drug
test assays the giants are selling souvenirs of tears from
the old Oakland Athletic fans. That is a low blow.
That is a low blow. How dare you berries go
go juice? According to alf the alien opiner that would
(19:50):
be available in the clear and the cream variety. Yeah,
Verry the master of that ninety eight ounces of belly
button lint from Lady side Burns.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Who else do we have?
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Steven Meatballs went with a certain type of marinera sauce.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
I'm sure he'll be complaining. I didn't say the full thing.
Who else? King Roy says, XFL Championship Trophy? They have that?
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Paige down Paige don Justin and Cincinnati has a theory
on why baseball is starting the season in Japan. I
think he has nothing to do with that, Justin, but
it has everything to do with what green can.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Do for you.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Frustrated fan teers from Tammy in Vegas. Our friend Tammy
Donkey Sausage says, a helmet full of MINUW Donkey flavored
M and M's all right, that sounds really good. Blind
Scott Muscle relaxer machine, guessed by Milkman Mike and Colorado.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Yeah, yeah, you knuckle it.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
A purple sticky punch from far out Dave two ound
shot of Jack Daniels, Eke and Roseville, Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Got a right bad job by him.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Andy in Line O Lakes, Minnesota says a ninety eight
ounce serving of Doc Mike's Yellow Mellow Lemonade original recipe.
Johnny Q says a block of pooh is the answer.
Timothy from Northern Kentucky says the answer to the riddle
of the day is Buster Posey's some place collision. Dirt
(21:28):
from Buster Posey's collision.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
JT.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
The Wingman in Tennessee's going with the Dodger dog as
his answer. Manuel in Guardina checked in he also went
with a Doc Mike souvenir cup of the Good Stuff
tub of nacho. Guests by JJ. He says, if I'm right,
I didn't cheat this time like I usually do. At
(21:50):
least you're admitting that you have a problem. All right,
let's see here. Does anyone have an answer?
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Mary Mack? Do you have an answer? Mary Max?
Speaker 4 (21:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Tub a bubble gum tub a bum All right, No,
that is incorrect.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
You were dangerously close to getting it right. Bad job
by you.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
The Giants are selling for twenty two dollars and fifty
nine cents a souvenir bat filled with popcorn. Yeah, is
that not one of the great hustles?
Speaker 1 (22:24):
You know?
Speaker 2 (22:24):
How in an inexpensive popcorn is popcorn and butter twenty
two to ninety You know how much popcorn you'd have
to eat to get to that price point of twenty
two dollars and fifty nine cents of popcorn. I think
if you ate that much popcorn, you would likely need
to go see a doctor because you'd be eating so
much popcorn that it's like that's that item alone.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
It's it's refillable, which is the gimmick.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
I think, if I'm not mistaken, ninety eight ounces is
like six pounds of popcorn. And that's not the only
new item the Pirates have. The Polish cannon ball sounds
like a sounds like a bat joke. The Pirates says,
you'll be selling the Polish cannonball their games, egg noodle, kilbosa, cabbage, bacon, sadar.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Cheese, and some kind of weird cream dip.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
It's a deep frightening now this one, oh man, the
greatest sandwich I've ever had is in Kansas City, and
they're gonna be selling it at Royals games. I'm sure
the markup's gonna be insane, but they're selling the z
Man sandwich, the famous z Man Sandwich from Kansas City
Joe's Barbecue, and that slow roasted beef brisket little Provolone
(23:35):
and they put an onion ring, a couple of onion
rings on there, and.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
A Kaiser roll. It is awesome, basic and wonderful.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
And whenever I'm in Kansas City, I always have the
Ben Mallard chicken fingers over at the Landing in Liberty,
and then I make sure I wait in line and
I get the z Man sandwich, which is just outstanding.
And I can only imagine how much that's gonna cost
at a Royals game. And there's all kinds of stuff.
There's the Phillies are selling a s'mores case idea that
(24:04):
is ntella. Uh. They've got mini marshmallows, Graham cracker crumble,
crispy flour tortilla shirved with chocolate dipping sauce.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
So you can get that at a in a Phillies game.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
It sounds sounds wonderful unless it doesn't hang on it's
all kinds of crap. Let's go the phones and let's
say hello to weed man hippie who is hanging out
in South Florida.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Hello, weed Man, hippie.
Speaker 4 (24:31):
Hey Ben, how are you? I love you?
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Weed? How's live treating you? Weed Man? Things better?
Speaker 5 (24:35):
Now?
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Really? All right?
Speaker 4 (24:37):
No, get me out of here?
Speaker 2 (24:42):
All right? Where would you like to How about Louisville?
You want to go to Louisville. You can work at
the track Churchill Downs clean the horse.
Speaker 4 (24:47):
That'd be great.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Now you actually have to work there. You can't just
sit around smoke weed all day. You got actually worked there.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
Okay, I'll do that, really.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
You promise.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
I used to live by a do all right.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
I'll make a deal with you.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
And then then the guy Inville that calls and he's
brought this up a couple times. I know he listens
all the time, so he he'll email me Ben Malors
Show at gmail dot com. I will then contact you
weed Man with the information.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
But it's up to you.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
It's it gets a little chilly compared to Miami and
Louisville part of the year, so you got to deal
with that, all right.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Do you know where Kentucky is, weed man? You do not.
You have no idea.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
If I gave you a map, you would have no
idea where to find the state of Kentucky.
Speaker 4 (25:28):
I really wouldn't Where.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Where do you think it's at in the I'm curious
where you think Kentucky.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
Is between Miami and like Virginia.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Well, yes, that is accurate.
Speaker 6 (25:45):
That is true. It's it's it's it's west of Georgia.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
It's west of Georgia. It's below Ohio, so you're below
Ohio there, and.
Speaker 4 (26:02):
It's it's not warm.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
Well it's warm, I mean it's in the south, but
it gets a little chilly, you know. It's a couple
of months of the year, but not not like really
terrible anything. It's it's fun and there's a few days
it's probably pretty bad. But other than that it's fine.
I mean, I'm not I don't live there, so I'm
just telling you what I've anyway, So you want to move,
you'll be willing to move. Weed man in Kentucky? Is
that is weed legal in Kentucky? Can we check that
coup see if weed's legal, because that could be a problem.
(26:27):
We don't think it is.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
It is not legal. Okay, that could be a problem.
Weed man. Well we'll have to eliminate that because you're
known as weed man.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
You couldn't give up the weed if you got your
own apartment in Kentucky, but you had to give up
the weed.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Wow, it is.
Speaker 5 (26:40):
It's one of only nineteen states that doesn't even have
a decriminalization law.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Oh yeah, all right, we got to eliminate. Sorry, weed man,
you're screwed. Oh yeah, but.
Speaker 5 (26:50):
How I'm curious though, do you still like because you know,
obviously you've you know, you're sharing a room and it's just,
you know, it's tough times out there. How often do
you still smoke?
Speaker 4 (27:03):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (27:07):
You just can't get caught.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
You can't drop, you just can't get caught.
Speaker 5 (27:11):
Well, no, I just I didn't know if you, you know, yeah,
had the ability to purchase me.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Life's let a plug. Life's not that bad for him. Okay,
that's he's all right. Well we've been listened. I don't
know what to tell you. We'll see if we can
find somebody in a state where weed's legal that would
like you to live there. And remember, we tried to
find you a place you accused me of having you kidnapped.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
So I just want to point that out. You did.
You said I had your kidnapped. Remember the guy the room.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
That you were staying at, and then you got all
upset with me and you yelled at me.
Speaker 4 (27:41):
And that's not true.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
You don't remember, no, you. Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
So there was a listener, remember the listeners like, hey,
I got an extra room, I want weed Man to
stay here. And you went and stayed with the guy.
And then somehow the cops got involved. And then remember
you don't remember that.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
No, that's the weed Wow.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
You're losing your memory, weed Man. Oh my goodness. I
can show you the emails you sent me.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
You were very.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Upset, and you stopped calling the show for a while.
I think that was because he kept getting arrested. Anyway,
all right, well, thanks for checking in. Jokes are coming
up at the end of the week. Lame jokes Friday, Yes, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:21):

UFC came along and.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Boxing is just an afterthought.

exist anymore. And that's part of the problem. Americans love
American boxes. There's not that great American boxer. Heavyweight heavyweights
