Speaker 1 (00:00):
Holy cow, let's playball and.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Our number three hour number three talking Bay's ball.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Well, now that the Texas Rangers Brandon Nimmo has said
that his trade to the Mets was strictly a baseball decision.
That's a quote. Does this calm the waters? Also, where
do we land on the Chicago Cubs lawsuit over the
Wrigley Field rooftops. The Cubs are in court and they're
(00:34):
arguing that they own the view from the rooftops essentially. Also,
how is Arthur Blank, the Falcons owner and his affordable
World Cup pricing plan going over with the aristocrats in
the sporting world. We'll discuss that as well. All of
it is coming your way right here. Also the Queen
(00:56):
of Hearts with Laray up and some game show fun
as we'll also have too much or not enough and
the malar riddle of the day. Here in our number
three it is like a true Crimes mystery unless it's
not welcome in the beginning of another hour of the
(01:22):
Bend mallor show. We are in the air am.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Reware as we are smashing rocks is.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
What we are doing. And we are the sporty store
that always satisfies or your money back unless you actually
paid for this, and then you get no money back.
Read the fine print. As we are emmating live from
the house. Whose house that would be the packed house,
(01:57):
the absolutely packed house called the coast Border, the border,
and all that here on the majestically powerful microphones of
Fox Sports Radio. Now, Jerry in Rhode Island reminds us
this hour made possible by our friends at tire Rack.
I know you're shocked by that. Absolutely simply amazing. Robbie
(02:20):
the Mariner fan can't believe it either. Ty Raq has
been helping customers for over forty years find the right
tires for how, what and where they drive, ship fast
and free back by free road hazard protection with convenient
installation options like mobile tire installation, tire rack dot com
the way that tire buying should be. And I think
(02:41):
it was outback John and Joanna who reached out and
they've become big super contributors now on the podcast and
a lot of the stuff we've got going on here,
and so they were like, hey, Ben, I need to
hear about draftings. And I said, you know what, I'm
gonna do it because you guys asked for it, and
if Joanna and outback John. You know they'll throw a
(03:03):
bloomin onion at me or something like that if I
don't do that, So I gotta do it. And the
NBA Playoffs are here, and DraftKings Sports Book is an
official sports betting partner of the NBA. Right now, use
the promo code Mallard. They claim your special offer at DraftKings. Again,
that's promo code Maler. At DraftKings, the crown is yours.
(03:24):
And with that we turn the page. Here from pro
bouncy ball, we go to baseball, and we go to Gotham,
where a true crimes mystery is playing out. There is
a popular opinion by popular people that the great purge
of the Mets roster, which has really worked out well
if you like bad baseball, the Mets shook up the
(03:46):
roster and playing and simply they blow. They blow. It's
just about every move the Mets have made has backfired
and three of the more popular players in the Mets
were left packing. The popular opinion is this was a
inside job if you will. Won't get to that in
(04:07):
a minute, but a feel the Brandon Nimo, who was
one one of the people changing teams. Brandon Neimo was
asked if his trade from the Mets to the Rangers
was strictly a baseball decision or dude, to some of
the chatter, clubhouse dysfunction junction, what's your function? So I
(04:28):
don't know if you heard about this? Maybe not? What
did he say? What did Nemo say? Because you're dying
to know what a guy named Brandon Nimo has to say.
He said, quote, I believe it was probably just a
baseball decision, he said. I didn't see anything wrong with
the chemistry between the guys, Brandon Neimo said. And if
(04:50):
it was happening, it was happening, and I didn't know
about it, he claimed. Nimo also went on to say
that he waved his no trade claw cause when the
Mets approached him, in part because of some conversations he
had with the Polar Bear, a talking polar bear, Pete Alonzo.
When he heard that the Mets had not even made
(05:12):
any effort to sign Alonzo to a contract extension, he said,
that was a sign. I saw the sign. That was
a sign, and Alonzo then left. He took the DOCU
sign with the Baltimore Orioles and has all the Old
Bay seasoning. He could possibly want, and that was that.
Now the Deep State believes that Francisco Lindor and one
(05:39):
No No or Soto or whatever his name is. So
Lindor and Soto supposedly were medley and depending on who
you believe, it was more Lindor or more Soto, or
it was a dynamic duo. Either way, they encouraged the
incompetent Mets front office to unlaw the click of guys
(06:02):
which they didn't like, named Peter Alonzo, Brandon Neimo, and
Jeff McNeil. That McNeil's no good, Nimo's pretty good, and
Alonzo had been one of the better home run hitters
in baseball. So that's all a good jumping off point.
Let us discuss the question now that the Rangers, that's
the baseball version the Rangers. Brandon Nimo has said that
(06:24):
his trade to the Mets was strictly a quote baseball decision.
Close quote Does this now calm the waters? Calm the waters?
So I've got Jacuzzi, QR code and Smithsonian exhibit, and
(06:45):
we'll put all of these things together and we are
going to whistle in the wind. Yeah, We're gonna whistle
in the wind. Is what we're going to do so.
First of all, to answer the question does this calm
the waters? Because Brandon Neimo said, hey, there's nothing to
see here. It didn't happen. Hell no, this is the Mets.
(07:08):
Nothing is ever just baseball, not even baseball. Not even baseball.
Nobody can keep their nose clean. Now, Nemo's nose was growing.
He just doesn't want to be a part of any
added drama or rama with the New York Mets. After
a minute long deliberation, he wants that clean living and
(07:29):
he's not going to put himself there. He played for
the Mets. He knows how this works. So even though
what he said is being analyzed and broken down, it
would have been much bigger had he gone out and said, oh, yeah,
Lindor doesn't like me because I voted for Trump or
something like that. That would have been hit that. Oh my god,
(07:50):
it would have been on like dog gee call. But
he didn't say that. Nemo is out here playing the
role of the un ambassador of Flushing, even though he
plays in Arlington and the waters are are not calm.
The waters are not calm here. They're frothing like a
chlorine filled jacuzzi full of bad decisions. Here. This is
(08:14):
not a ripple. It is more of a riptide in
a harbor that is polluted, overfished, and chronically mismanaged is
essentially what this is. And Nimo walking through the clubhouse
and he actually visited with some of the Mets, and
I understand he handed out lavender candles. Lavender candles. You
don't get a chunk of the You don't get a
(08:37):
chunk of the Mets, a core of the Mets core.
It wasn't everyone, obviously Soto and Lindor, but everyone else.
You don't grab a chunk of that and gut it
unless there's something else going on. And if you do
the old sniff test, it's something smells. Something smells, and
(08:59):
I believe it smells like week gold tuna tartar is
what it smells like here, Either that or something much worse.
When a player insists nothing happened, my experience with pro athletes,
when they say nothing happened, it is a universally accepted
sign from the heavens that everything everything happened. Okay, When
they say nothing happened, a lot of stuff happened, all right,
(09:23):
So a lot of stuff happened. When they say, nothing happened.
He's trying to be the peacekeeper. Let's be let's be real.
We'll keep it real, because that's what we do. You
and I we keep it real. So the piece has
already packed its bags and gone off to Baltimore or
Texas or Sacramento. It's diplomatic, It's Queen's diplomacy and all.
(09:48):
That is what it is. And it's a precursor to
the next web. At some point this story is gonna
It's like a wildfire and it's contained. It's contained. It
jumped containment. How did it do that? What Bozo allowed
it to jump containment? And it'll flare up again at
least a couple more times this year now secularly to
(10:08):
Chicago from the Theater of the Bizarre Holy Tree in
Chicago and your Feme Batman. So the Chicago Cubs, I understand,
are involved in a lawsuit. I was reading about this
the last couple of days. The lawsuit is going forward
against the owner of a rooftop. You know, the iconic
(10:29):
view of Wrigley Field, of those people sitting on the
rooftops around the ballpark, which makes Wrigley Field special. So
a judge has rejected the venue their motion to dismiss
the club. The Cubs claim of misappropriation and unjust enrichment,
unjust enrichment. The Cubbies are in court. The once beloved,
(10:51):
lovable Cubbies are now just another corporate machine. And the
Cubbies are in court arguing the rooftop business free get
free loads, essentially gets a free ride on their investment
by selling tickets for direct views of Wrigley Field games.
And they are not licensed, and they should be licensed.
(11:13):
And there was an agreement after the Cubs years ago.
The Cubs were threatening to put up giant tarps because
these are the douchebags that run the Cubs, and so
they were going to put these giant tarps up to
block the view of the people sitting on the rooftops
across the street from the ballpark. And the agreement required
seventeen percent revenue sharing, and that expired in twenty twenty three. Well,
(11:38):
now it's twenty twenty six. The case is going through
the court system in Illinois, and it explores whether or
not a professional sports team owns exclusive rights to profit
from the live game. As everyone says these days, the
experience of the live game with no injunction as of
(12:01):
the last I looked here blocking the continued rooftop ticket
sales and all that, so there's no injunction at this point.
The question where do we land on the Chicago Cubs
lawsuit over the wriggly Field rooftop saying Hey, you're not
(12:21):
allowed to sell the tickets. You can't allow people to
watch our product, even though you can clearly just see
into the stadium and see the product. So on this one,
I'm grabbing my buttered movie theater popcorn and I am
watching the billionaires try to trademark essentially, if I have
this right oxygen? Am I right on? This? Is that
(12:44):
too much? Am I going a bridge too far? Like
the Cubs basically want to own the air above Wrigley Field?
Am I correct on that? The way I understand the lawsuit,
they want to own the air above Wrigley Field. If
they could charge you for blinking when someone hits a
home run, they would have a QR code and right
(13:05):
there on your eyelids, and you'd have to send the
dollar fifty because you're blinked when somebody you don't run,
you cannot spell. And I'm telling you I know a
lot about you know, spelling and all that. You can't
spell ivy covered charm without I guess putting Sue in
there somewhere, right, I mean, how are you you're selling
this iconic neighborhood ballpark and how can you have a
(13:28):
neighborhood ballpark if you can't see the rooftops and the
rooftops can't see into the ballpark. Like I've been to
Wrigley a few times. It's a great place to visit.
It's very corporate the last time I went. And it's
you know, they bought all the places around the ballpark,
a lot of them the Cubs own, and so it's
it's their own little village in Chicago. But the whole
(13:48):
thing is that neighborhood. And that's what makes it magical.
It's not just the ballpark, it's not that, it's everything
else that that's the tradition, right, It's like you want
to have a cover charge on nostalgia. The Cubs and
they call the rooftoppers freeloaders. And this just in to
(14:11):
the Ben Mather show, The Sun when the Cubs play
day baseball, The Sun freeloading the Moon, big time freeloader.
When we get a storm system that passes through the
north side of Chicago and it rains, go that's actually littering.
The rain is actually litter, is what it is. And
we don't see them filing an injunction against daylight, although
(14:35):
if they could, they would, they would absolutely do that.
But it is like the most modern Cubs move ever.
I forget about penance and trying to outspend the Dodgers
and the Mets and teams like that, the Yankees. They're
chasing this odd legal case over a building. So I
have a solution. If you've got a problem, you need
(14:58):
a solution, and who you're gonna call other than the
Ben Mahlor Show Overnight sports radio has all of life's answers.
So the Malor solution. The Cubs want total control over
Wrigley Field. And this is not a radical idea. It
can be done. I recommend the d word.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Dome.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
The dome dome dome, YEP, put a dome over it it,
put a roof on it. Now, put a roof on it.
You get climate controlled. You can charge nineteen ninety nine
for fans that want air conditioning, and if they want
extra clean oxygen, you can charge them a little more
as well, and have this as a subscription, because that's
the key. You need people to sign up for subscriptions
(15:46):
like going to a gym, and then forget about it, right,
And you gotta pay a little extra if you want
the seventh inning stretch. That's gonna cost you a little more. Otherwise,
stop trying to annex the skyline and the buildings around
Wriggleyfield like it's part of the outfield. It's so dumb.
It's the hubris of these people that own these teams
(16:08):
is next level. Now not always though, because our final thought,
we go to the atl where Tommy in Atlanta is
a swing shift guy. Now, so here's the beginning part
of the show. So I don't know if Tommy's still listening.
And we had a great time with Tommy, part of
the gang that broke away. After the big mauther of
meet and greet, we went to the Reds game and
(16:31):
then traveled to get some ice cream, famous Cincinnati ice cream.
They went up to BUCkies just outside Dick and Dayton's
humble a boat. So I go to Atlanta where Falcons
owner Arthur Blank has announced that Atlanta, the venue he runs,
will not will not raise prices for the upcoming World Cup. Now,
(16:53):
this is the same event where places like New York,
Boston and Philadelphia are absolutely gouging fans with one hundred
dollar train rides that normally cost maybe ten bucks. So
I put this up and Arthur Blank said, quote, we
can't always control what happens on the field, what happens
on the pitch, but we can control the fan experience.
(17:15):
Close quote from Arthur Blank. Mercedes Benz Stadium well known
for being the ugly reddited stepchild of the industrial complex
of sports for their very affordable prices when you go
watch the Falcons play. So the question, how is Arthur
Blank's affordable World Cup pricing plan going over with the
(17:38):
other aristocrats? Good question. So Arthur Blank didn't just walk
in to the World Cup meetings. He did some cosplay
here as the orcanman, and he flipped on the lights
and he was looking for roaches. And what happens when
you turn the lights on, they start scurrying around. Suddenly
(17:58):
every other billillionaire involved in this thing looks like a douche,
like they're running a concession cartel, is what they're doing.
And Arthur Blank is selling hot dogs and soda for
five bucks. Now, I know it's cheaper at Costco, but
for professional sports, that's like a Smithsonian exhibit of what
it used to be like in American sport when you
(18:20):
could actually get a deal at a concession stand. You
juxtaposed that for the La Dodgers, the kings of price gouging,
who are charging I believe, seventy five dollars for a
souvenir Toni Cup, a bunch of con artists, and Atlanta
the Falcons is like, oh, we'll give you a hot
dog and a soda for five bucks. Okay, who's getting
the screwjob on that now? Meanwhile, the rest of the
(18:43):
robber barons are hiding behind dynamic pricing like it's a
pandemic or a hurricane or something like that. And if
Arthur Blank can do this with the Falcons and now
the World Cup, if he can do this, and he's
doing it right now, what's there excuse? Was an inflation
supplied chain and just a good old fashioned greed. And
(19:07):
this is their nightmare, the other rich guys in sports,
because it's proof of concept, and that's the problem, right,
A billionaire is showing you that they're still making money.
It's not like they're not making money at the stadium
in Atlanta. You can make money without treating the people
that are your customers, like ATM machines, your personal ATM
(19:27):
machine and Atlanta sells nachos for three bucks at that stadium.
Everywhere else you need a small loan even for a
cup of cheese these days. And Blank didn't say, you know,
he didn't say a word. He didn't have to say
a word. He just proved that the entire industrial complex
of professional sports and the way they price things is
(19:49):
a choice. Which is why they absolutely hate Arthur Blank.
That he embarrasses all of them. And of course a
lot of the media dopes. They don't have these guys
questions like how can Arthur Blank make money selling the
three dollars nachos and you're charging seventeen twenty five for them?
Like can you explain that? Well, we can't really explain
(20:11):
that it's more expensive here. You know, the whole thing
it is the Ben Mallor Show. As we work our
way through the overnight, if you'd like to be part

To go with.
Speaker 1 (40:55):
It, okay here you, Go queen Of hearts With loraina
Holy cow, let's playball and.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Our number three hour number three talking Bay's ball.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Well, now that the Texas Rangers Brandon Nimmo has said
that his trade to the Mets was strictly a baseball decision.
That's a quote. Does this calm the waters? Also, where
do we land on the Chicago Cubs lawsuit over the
Wrigley Field rooftops. The Cubs are in court and they're
(00:34):
arguing that they own the view from the rooftops essentially. Also,
how is Arthur Blank, the Falcons owner and his affordable
World Cup pricing plan going over with the aristocrats in
the sporting world. We'll discuss that as well. All of
it is coming your way right here. Also the Queen
(00:56):
of Hearts with Laray up and some game show fun
as we'll also have too much or not enough and
the malar riddle of the day. Here in our number
three it is like a true Crimes mystery unless it's
not welcome in the beginning of another hour of the
(01:22):
Bend mallor show. We are in the air am.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Reware as we are smashing rocks is.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
What we are doing. And we are the sporty store
that always satisfies or your money back unless you actually
paid for this, and then you get no money back.
Read the fine print. As we are emmating live from
the house. Whose house that would be the packed house,
(01:57):
the absolutely packed house called the coast Border, the border,
and all that here on the majestically powerful microphones of
Fox Sports Radio. Now, Jerry in Rhode Island reminds us
this hour made possible by our friends at tire Rack.
I know you're shocked by that. Absolutely simply amazing. Robbie
(02:20):
the Mariner fan can't believe it either. Ty Raq has
been helping customers for over forty years find the right
tires for how, what and where they drive, ship fast
and free back by free road hazard protection with convenient
installation options like mobile tire installation, tire rack dot com
the way that tire buying should be. And I think
(02:41):
it was outback John and Joanna who reached out and
they've become big super contributors now on the podcast and
a lot of the stuff we've got going on here,
and so they were like, hey, Ben, I need to
hear about draftings. And I said, you know what, I'm
gonna do it because you guys asked for it, and
if Joanna and outback John. You know they'll throw a
(03:03):
bloomin onion at me or something like that if I
don't do that, So I gotta do it. And the
NBA Playoffs are here, and DraftKings Sports Book is an
official sports betting partner of the NBA. Right now, use
the promo code Mallard. They claim your special offer at DraftKings. Again,
that's promo code Maler. At DraftKings, the crown is yours.
(03:24):
And with that we turn the page. Here from pro
bouncy ball, we go to baseball, and we go to Gotham,
where a true crimes mystery is playing out. There is
a popular opinion by popular people that the great purge
of the Mets roster, which has really worked out well
if you like bad baseball, the Mets shook up the
(03:46):
roster and playing and simply they blow. They blow. It's
just about every move the Mets have made has backfired
and three of the more popular players in the Mets
were left packing. The popular opinion is this was a
inside job if you will. Won't get to that in
(04:07):
a minute, but a feel the Brandon Nimo, who was
one one of the people changing teams. Brandon Neimo was
asked if his trade from the Mets to the Rangers
was strictly a baseball decision or dude, to some of
the chatter, clubhouse dysfunction junction, what's your function? So I
(04:28):
don't know if you heard about this? Maybe not? What
did he say? What did Nemo say? Because you're dying
to know what a guy named Brandon Nimo has to say.
He said, quote, I believe it was probably just a
baseball decision, he said. I didn't see anything wrong with
the chemistry between the guys, Brandon Neimo said. And if
(04:50):
it was happening, it was happening, and I didn't know
about it, he claimed. Nimo also went on to say
that he waved his no trade claw cause when the
Mets approached him, in part because of some conversations he
had with the Polar Bear, a talking polar bear, Pete Alonzo.
When he heard that the Mets had not even made
(05:12):
any effort to sign Alonzo to a contract extension, he said,
that was a sign. I saw the sign. That was
a sign, and Alonzo then left. He took the DOCU
sign with the Baltimore Orioles and has all the Old
Bay seasoning. He could possibly want, and that was that.
Now the Deep State believes that Francisco Lindor and one
(05:39):
No No or Soto or whatever his name is. So
Lindor and Soto supposedly were medley and depending on who
you believe, it was more Lindor or more Soto, or
it was a dynamic duo. Either way, they encouraged the
incompetent Mets front office to unlaw the click of guys
(06:02):
which they didn't like, named Peter Alonzo, Brandon Neimo, and
Jeff McNeil. That McNeil's no good, Nimo's pretty good, and
Alonzo had been one of the better home run hitters
in baseball. So that's all a good jumping off point.
Let us discuss the question now that the Rangers, that's
the baseball version the Rangers. Brandon Nimo has said that
(06:24):
his trade to the Mets was strictly a quote baseball decision.
Close quote Does this now calm the waters? Calm the waters?
So I've got Jacuzzi, QR code and Smithsonian exhibit, and
(06:45):
we'll put all of these things together and we are
going to whistle in the wind. Yeah, We're gonna whistle
in the wind. Is what we're going to do so.
First of all, to answer the question does this calm
the waters? Because Brandon Neimo said, hey, there's nothing to
see here. It didn't happen. Hell no, this is the Mets.
(07:08):
Nothing is ever just baseball, not even baseball. Not even baseball.
Nobody can keep their nose clean. Now, Nemo's nose was growing.
He just doesn't want to be a part of any
added drama or rama with the New York Mets. After
a minute long deliberation, he wants that clean living and
(07:29):
he's not going to put himself there. He played for
the Mets. He knows how this works. So even though
what he said is being analyzed and broken down, it
would have been much bigger had he gone out and said, oh, yeah,
Lindor doesn't like me because I voted for Trump or
something like that. That would have been hit that. Oh my god,
(07:50):
it would have been on like dog gee call. But
he didn't say that. Nemo is out here playing the
role of the un ambassador of Flushing, even though he
plays in Arlington and the waters are are not calm.
The waters are not calm here. They're frothing like a
chlorine filled jacuzzi full of bad decisions. Here. This is
(08:14):
not a ripple. It is more of a riptide in
a harbor that is polluted, overfished, and chronically mismanaged is
essentially what this is. And Nimo walking through the clubhouse
and he actually visited with some of the Mets, and
I understand he handed out lavender candles. Lavender candles. You
don't get a chunk of the You don't get a
(08:37):
chunk of the Mets, a core of the Mets core.
It wasn't everyone, obviously Soto and Lindor, but everyone else.
You don't grab a chunk of that and gut it
unless there's something else going on. And if you do
the old sniff test, it's something smells. Something smells, and
(08:59):
I believe it smells like week gold tuna tartar is
what it smells like here, Either that or something much worse.
When a player insists nothing happened, my experience with pro athletes,
when they say nothing happened, it is a universally accepted
sign from the heavens that everything everything happened. Okay, When
they say nothing happened, a lot of stuff happened, all right,
(09:23):
So a lot of stuff happened. When they say, nothing happened.
He's trying to be the peacekeeper. Let's be let's be real.
We'll keep it real, because that's what we do. You
and I we keep it real. So the piece has
already packed its bags and gone off to Baltimore or
Texas or Sacramento. It's diplomatic, It's Queen's diplomacy and all.
(09:48):
That is what it is. And it's a precursor to
the next web. At some point this story is gonna
It's like a wildfire and it's contained. It's contained. It
jumped containment. How did it do that? What Bozo allowed
it to jump containment? And it'll flare up again at
least a couple more times this year now secularly to
(10:08):
Chicago from the Theater of the Bizarre Holy Tree in
Chicago and your Feme Batman. So the Chicago Cubs, I understand,
are involved in a lawsuit. I was reading about this
the last couple of days. The lawsuit is going forward
against the owner of a rooftop. You know, the iconic
(10:29):
view of Wrigley Field, of those people sitting on the
rooftops around the ballpark, which makes Wrigley Field special. So
a judge has rejected the venue their motion to dismiss
the club. The Cubs claim of misappropriation and unjust enrichment,
unjust enrichment. The Cubbies are in court. The once beloved,
(10:51):
lovable Cubbies are now just another corporate machine. And the
Cubbies are in court arguing the rooftop business free get
free loads, essentially gets a free ride on their investment
by selling tickets for direct views of Wrigley Field games.
And they are not licensed, and they should be licensed.
(11:13):
And there was an agreement after the Cubs years ago.
The Cubs were threatening to put up giant tarps because
these are the douchebags that run the Cubs, and so
they were going to put these giant tarps up to
block the view of the people sitting on the rooftops
across the street from the ballpark. And the agreement required
seventeen percent revenue sharing, and that expired in twenty twenty three. Well,
(11:38):
now it's twenty twenty six. The case is going through
the court system in Illinois, and it explores whether or
not a professional sports team owns exclusive rights to profit
from the live game. As everyone says these days, the
experience of the live game with no injunction as of
(12:01):
the last I looked here blocking the continued rooftop ticket
sales and all that, so there's no injunction at this point.
The question where do we land on the Chicago Cubs
lawsuit over the wriggly Field rooftop saying Hey, you're not
(12:21):
allowed to sell the tickets. You can't allow people to
watch our product, even though you can clearly just see
into the stadium and see the product. So on this one,
I'm grabbing my buttered movie theater popcorn and I am
watching the billionaires try to trademark essentially, if I have
this right oxygen? Am I right on? This? Is that
(12:44):
too much? Am I going a bridge too far? Like
the Cubs basically want to own the air above Wrigley Field?
Am I correct on that? The way I understand the lawsuit,
they want to own the air above Wrigley Field. If
they could charge you for blinking when someone hits a
home run, they would have a QR code and right
(13:05):
there on your eyelids, and you'd have to send the
dollar fifty because you're blinked when somebody you don't run,
you cannot spell. And I'm telling you I know a
lot about you know, spelling and all that. You can't
spell ivy covered charm without I guess putting Sue in
there somewhere, right, I mean, how are you you're selling
this iconic neighborhood ballpark and how can you have a
(13:28):
neighborhood ballpark if you can't see the rooftops and the
rooftops can't see into the ballpark. Like I've been to
Wrigley a few times. It's a great place to visit.
It's very corporate the last time I went. And it's
you know, they bought all the places around the ballpark,
a lot of them the Cubs own, and so it's
it's their own little village in Chicago. But the whole
(13:48):
thing is that neighborhood. And that's what makes it magical.
It's not just the ballpark, it's not that, it's everything
else that that's the tradition, right, It's like you want
to have a cover charge on nostalgia. The Cubs and
they call the rooftoppers freeloaders. And this just in to
(14:11):
the Ben Mather show, The Sun when the Cubs play
day baseball, The Sun freeloading the Moon, big time freeloader.
When we get a storm system that passes through the
north side of Chicago and it rains, go that's actually littering.
The rain is actually litter, is what it is. And
we don't see them filing an injunction against daylight, although
(14:35):
if they could, they would, they would absolutely do that.
But it is like the most modern Cubs move ever.
I forget about penance and trying to outspend the Dodgers
and the Mets and teams like that, the Yankees. They're
chasing this odd legal case over a building. So I
have a solution. If you've got a problem, you need
(14:58):
a solution, and who you're gonna call other than the
Ben Mahlor Show Overnight sports radio has all of life's answers.
So the Malor solution. The Cubs want total control over
Wrigley Field. And this is not a radical idea. It
can be done. I recommend the d word.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Dome.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
The dome dome dome, YEP, put a dome over it it,
put a roof on it. Now, put a roof on it.
You get climate controlled. You can charge nineteen ninety nine
for fans that want air conditioning, and if they want
extra clean oxygen, you can charge them a little more
as well, and have this as a subscription, because that's
the key. You need people to sign up for subscriptions
(15:46):
like going to a gym, and then forget about it, right,
And you gotta pay a little extra if you want
the seventh inning stretch. That's gonna cost you a little more. Otherwise,
stop trying to annex the skyline and the buildings around
Wriggleyfield like it's part of the outfield. It's so dumb.
It's the hubris of these people that own these teams
(16:08):
is next level. Now not always though, because our final thought,
we go to the atl where Tommy in Atlanta is
a swing shift guy. Now, so here's the beginning part
of the show. So I don't know if Tommy's still listening.
And we had a great time with Tommy, part of
the gang that broke away. After the big mauther of
meet and greet, we went to the Reds game and
(16:31):
then traveled to get some ice cream, famous Cincinnati ice cream.
They went up to BUCkies just outside Dick and Dayton's
humble a boat. So I go to Atlanta where Falcons
owner Arthur Blank has announced that Atlanta, the venue he runs,
will not will not raise prices for the upcoming World Cup. Now,
(16:53):
this is the same event where places like New York,
Boston and Philadelphia are absolutely gouging fans with one hundred
dollar train rides that normally cost maybe ten bucks. So
I put this up and Arthur Blank said, quote, we
can't always control what happens on the field, what happens
on the pitch, but we can control the fan experience.
(17:15):
Close quote from Arthur Blank. Mercedes Benz Stadium well known
for being the ugly reddited stepchild of the industrial complex
of sports for their very affordable prices when you go
watch the Falcons play. So the question, how is Arthur
Blank's affordable World Cup pricing plan going over with the
(17:38):
other aristocrats? Good question. So Arthur Blank didn't just walk
in to the World Cup meetings. He did some cosplay
here as the orcanman, and he flipped on the lights
and he was looking for roaches. And what happens when
you turn the lights on, they start scurrying around. Suddenly
(17:58):
every other billillionaire involved in this thing looks like a douche,
like they're running a concession cartel, is what they're doing.
And Arthur Blank is selling hot dogs and soda for
five bucks. Now, I know it's cheaper at Costco, but
for professional sports, that's like a Smithsonian exhibit of what
it used to be like in American sport when you
(18:20):
could actually get a deal at a concession stand. You
juxtaposed that for the La Dodgers, the kings of price gouging,
who are charging I believe, seventy five dollars for a
souvenir Toni Cup, a bunch of con artists, and Atlanta
the Falcons is like, oh, we'll give you a hot
dog and a soda for five bucks. Okay, who's getting
the screwjob on that now? Meanwhile, the rest of the
(18:43):
robber barons are hiding behind dynamic pricing like it's a
pandemic or a hurricane or something like that. And if
Arthur Blank can do this with the Falcons and now
the World Cup, if he can do this, and he's
doing it right now, what's there excuse? Was an inflation
supplied chain and just a good old fashioned greed. And
(19:07):
this is their nightmare, the other rich guys in sports,
because it's proof of concept, and that's the problem, right,
A billionaire is showing you that they're still making money.
It's not like they're not making money at the stadium
in Atlanta. You can make money without treating the people
that are your customers, like ATM machines, your personal ATM
(19:27):
machine and Atlanta sells nachos for three bucks at that stadium.
Everywhere else you need a small loan even for a
cup of cheese these days. And Blank didn't say, you know,
he didn't say a word. He didn't have to say
a word. He just proved that the entire industrial complex
