here at our number two executive, Stan Casting, longtime baseball executive,
rejecting the idea of the Dwyers, the Dodgers, of the
evil Empire of Baseball over the Yankees.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Give me your school of thought on that.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Also, the Tampa Bay Rays have abandoned a one point
three billion dollars stadium plan in Florida.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
What does that mean in the big picture. We'll talk
about that.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
And rafe L Devers says he will do whatever the
Red Sox want him to do regarding third base and
designated hitter and whether or not he changes positions.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Do you believe him.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
We'll talk about that as well. It's all coming your
way right now here. It is our number two, the
Great Dodger Debate. If you will welcome in the beginning
of yet another hour. It is the Ben Mahlor Show.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
Ten thousand tai Raq dot com The Way tire Buying show.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Be so our lead this hour is from baseball. Now.
I realize there are.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
No baseball games to discuss. I get that, but there
are some stories that are interesting. The season begins next week,
the soft launch in Japan, not for the American audience,
for the Japanese audience. But Baseball sold those games. They're
making a killing. I'm hearing from boots on the ground
of Japan. The Dodger merch, the Otani merch.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Is just in sim but they sell it anyway.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
But just because the Dodgers are there, They've got special
merchandise anyway. As we wait for opening Day and the
land of the Rising Sun. Some interesting chatter about the
Doyers and their spot atop the totem pole in baseball.
Right now, the reigning champions of baseball predicted to win
the World Series again. So if you didn't hear about this,
and maybe not, The Dodgers president longtime sports executive stand
(03:04):
Casting rejected rejection mo Tumbo. He rejected being labeled baseball's
new evil empire, talking to Hall of Fame Baseball scribe
Jason Stark, stand cast and dismissing the notion that the
Dodgers are the evil empire, saying they're neither evil nor
(03:27):
an empire. Casting followed up by telling Jason Stark that
the odds of the twenty twenty five season suggests a
team other than the Dodgers will win the World Series.
He said, the oddsmakers claim there's a.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Seventy five percent chance that someone other.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Than us, cast and said, meaning the Dodgers will win
the World Series this year. So it's hard to be
that evil or much of an empire if that continues,
all right, so let us discuss the question. Stand Casting,
Baseball executive Dodger executive rejecting the idea that the Dodgers
(04:07):
are the evil Empire of baseball over the Yankees or
the New Yankees, if you will, so give me your
school of thought on this one. So I've got Star Wars, Mayflower,
and Boulevard, and we will combine all of these things
together and we are going to make a Pastrami sandwich,
(04:30):
wonderful sandwich, Top five sandwich Pastami sandwich. So, first of all,
because I understand that Stan Casting is a lifetime sports
executive and that that's how you keep lifetime employment, you go, oh,
I don't want.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
To be called evil. I've got to protect the brand. Brand, brand, brand, brand, brand,
bran brand, brand, brand and that thing.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Nevertheless, though, all right, so Stancaster is trying to protect
the brand.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
This is a feather in the cap on this side
of the microphone for the It is an honor to
be called the evil Empire. Embrace it. There was this basketball.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Player named Wilt Chamberlain back in the day, and he
was the biggest, baddest guy in the NBA at the
time and scored one hundred points. And he had heard
about him and he once said that nobody loves Goliath.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Right, Well, he was Gallith.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
The Dodgers are Goliath paying these dingle berries over twenty
years down the line on layaway payments, Man of genius.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Just wonderful.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
So my advice here, my advice to the Dodgers is
to go Star Wars Return of the Jedi.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Do you know what I mean? Maybe not? So then
me explained, So the Emperor, if.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
You remember the this goes back many years, but it's
a classic move. So the Emperor attempts to persuade Luke
Skywalker remember to join the Dark Side, and he's given
the sales pitch on the Dark Side, and he said,
it's a good way of feelings justified in embracing your
vengeance or something along those lines. Right, You've got a
(06:11):
lot of rage and you can embrace it. So let
the hate flow through you. Was the line, let the
hate flow through you, And that's my face. Ultimately, the
Dodgers the one thing they're missing any think about the
Yankees when they were the Evil Empire.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
They had a great arch villain.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
The arch villain was George Steinbrenner, who was seen as
the demon spawn, right, George Steinberner the boss and those
kids are soft pathetic the next generation.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
But George Steinbrenner was a great villain. He was wonderful.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
He was a perfect enemy combatant and inherently sinister, a
mischief maker. And it was either you win a championship
or you're a loser. You get firing managers. He was
just wonderful. Like the Dodgers Dave Roberts. I would have
fired Dave Roberts eight years ago and Dave Roberts, Dave
Roberts is still there. You know, he's doing his thing
(07:04):
and that's that no matter what. And they're fine, and
it seemed like they're generally kind of nice guys, the Dodgers,
and so they don't have a lot of those characteristics.
But I would embrace it because everyone on baseball hates you,
like all the other teams are jealous, like they don't have.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
The good players.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
You get all the good players, and so you might
as well. It's good for the sport. You need to
have that evil side to it. And if the Dodgers
are that, that's fine. Won the World Series last year,
They're gonna win the World Series this year. And Stan
cast and what he failed to mention is the Dodgers
are the biggest World Series favorite since the team that
(07:41):
was called the evil Empire the Yankees back.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Twenty some years ago, all right.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Now, Secondly to the Tampa Saint Pete area, that is
where the Rays.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
That's a baseball team, not a good one. The Tampa Bay.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Rays have abandoned a one point three billion dollar stadium plan.
They've just said bye bye to it in Florida. So
what does that mean? Big picture?
Speaker 1 (08:08):
What does that mean?
Speaker 2 (08:09):
So it means that the Tampa Bay baseball team is
on the endangered list that the owner also is in
time out Stu Sternberg.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Now we know the rest of the story.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
There was a story a couple of days ago that
there was pressure from inside baseball to have Stu Sternberg
sell the Tampa Bay Rays. And now we know he
is really meat loaf. He's dead.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Meat loaf is what he is.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Because from what I understand of this and a'bsoltainly not
there and I'm just reading.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Some details from those that are much closer to the situation.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
But as I understand it, the Commissioner rob Manfraud. Rob Manfraud,
the Commissioner of Baseball personally and successfully lobbied these local
politicians to get the eightium bonds approved and all that
He got everything signed off on to set up a
(09:05):
new stadium for the Tampa Bay Race. He cleared the
jungle for a deal, got rid of all the rainforests
and all that to build the ballpark, only to have
the owner of the Tampa Bay Rays flip the bird
and kill the switch.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
And that's it is. The switch was killed and then
the deals off. So warm up.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
The lesson is to warm up the Mayflower moving vans.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
If you're from Baltimore, you know what that means.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
So we now move the relocation clock of the Tampa
Bay Rays baseball team from ninety seconds to eighty nine
seconds to midnight.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
The closest it has been eight years.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
The Rays mentioned Tampa Bay to Nashville. That very much
in play the last time a team left, although they're
not there yet. The formerly Oakland Athletics. You're old enough
to remember when Oakland had the Athletics, and they're moving
the Vegas Vegas was supposed to get an expansion baseball
team Vegas instead getting a team that's kind of like
(10:06):
an expansion team, the Athletics. But they're gonna be in Sacramento.
But they don't want to mention Sacramento. They're embarrassed by Sacramento.
Sacramento is like a booty call. They don't want anyone
to know they're they're with Sacramento, even though they're playing
in Sacramento.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
They're kind of embarrassed about it.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
So they have shame for Sacramento because they don't want
to say the word Sacramento. So they're just saying they're
the Athletics and they don't want anyone to know that
they're sleeping with Sacramento. It's a big mess, all right. Now,
final fight to Boston Spring training Camp.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Well it's in Florida, obviously.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
But after a lot of controversy a couple of weeks ago,
remember the story regarding Raffie Devers and Alex Bregman, the
cheating astro forever a cheating astro, and so Bregman joined
the Red Sox and there was this great debate is
Bregman going to go to second base?
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Is Rafaeld Dever is going to become.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
The DH and so Devers ruffled a bunch of feathers
as he mentioned he was not interested in changing spots
to accommodate the roster demands of the the manager, Alice Corps.
So now now he's evolved, if you will. Rafaeld Devers
(11:15):
now says that he will do whatever whatever the Red
Sox want him to do regarding third base and designated here.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
If they want to move him, that's fine. Do you
believe him?
Speaker 2 (11:27):
So I spent a couple of seconds deliberating on this,
and as I was wandering in sashchanging into the.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Studio, I said, you know what I'm gonna do on
this one. I'm gonna get in the car. I'm actually
gonna drive down the boulevard. I'm gonna go on the
boulevard and it's Skeptics Boulevard. The sign says Skeptics Boulevard,
because that's where I'm going. I'm going down Skeptics Boulevard.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
It is more likely than not that this is some
scripted reality that someone got to hold the Rafael Devers
and coached him up, if you will, and say here's
probably how you should handle this.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
You might want to do this trying to calm the waters.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Now now I suspect that he's not all that happy
with the idea.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Of changing positions. He's just now trying to play the
game and try to calm everyone down and all that.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
So this will continue to be a storyline assuming one
of two things happen. The Red Sox sucked that becomes
a story or if Rafael Devers slash Alex Bregman do
not hit and it is deemed that either the cheating
a hole or Rafaeld Devers are not hitting because of
(12:41):
defensive issues, then it becomes a problem. Now if they're
contending and they're playing well and both players are hitting,
the story goes away. It's all about the stumble and
I've fallen and I can't get a clap on, clap
off the clapper. That's what it's all about. That's what
it's all about. This show is all about you and I.

Speaker 2 (15:07):
And I'm the hostess with the mostes for the Talk Fiesta.
Bob wrights In says blind Scott must be devastated. He
lost miserably in the Toucher and Rich contest. He says,
I did vote for him. You need to reach out
to Sarah, who he lost to. So this is the
morning show on our affiliate in Boston, the sports very
(15:29):
popular morning show. They had a some kind of caller
bracket contest. I don't know all the details on it.
Blind Scott was in it, and it apparently did not
go well for blind Scott. Let's get more on this
developing story right now, and let's say, hello, we go
over to blind blind Scott. Blind Scott, can you please
(15:50):
give us the details. Did you actually get smoked in
this contest? Is that correct?
Speaker 4 (15:55):
Here's the thing, like I were you listen, like, here's
the thing like I went on for seventeen minutes straight.
I talked for I beat Sarah from Everette. He's a
fifty two year old woman from Everett. I smoked her
so bad. If you go into the podcast, they cut
all the audio off the podcast, it won't they won't
even they won't even replay it. So here's the thing.
(16:16):
They vented me for this contest. They took my information.
They didn't tell me. They told me the context. The
context was like a boxing match against Sarah, like and
I revealed like everything about myself, like to the whole audience.
And I'm like, I just teaed off, like I talked
about stuff that I wouldn't talk about on this show,
Like I don't know, Ben, if I don't you listen, Ben,
(16:37):
you don't you wouldn't let me talk about it?
Speaker 1 (16:39):
No, No, I would never. I would never do that.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
He touched on like communism or socialism or something like
if you were all over the place, But I, uh yeah,
So do you feel like you you went too far?
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Blind Scott? You feel like if you could do it
over you would have I.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
Think, yeah, I think maybe I would have Nicky Klay
there like help me with it. But here's the thing,
like they nobody can listen to it. I think I
beat Sarah from everytt the audience. So I just trashed
the audience completely. I knew I didn't have a chance.
So I found out that they wouldn't allow me in
the studio ever, Like I'm never allowed in their studio,
(17:15):
and they're trying to figure me out a little bit.
I need more airtime, like on their show. I need
more airtime on this show. I have a lot of content,
Like I could talk for four hours. I think I
started talking about the UTA Bomber Manifesto maybe and that
was probably a u A bad movie.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
But yeah, yeah, I think.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
I think when you're you're asking people to vote for
you and then calling them all kinds of names, that's
generally not not a great thing.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
So you think, like I talked about being a strange
for my family, you think my family might have been
listening and saying like, uh, like I'm a little bit worried,
like what I'm hearing here. You think they're just like, oh, lad,
like there's no contact.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Well my professional advice, there's a term called too much information,
uh tm I, And yeah you were like that, You're
like the post You're like the poster child of too
much information.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
You know, I'm saying, I think there's a chance I
could pass you in celebrity. This is because like I
obviously think up a celebrity and I have a lot
to operate. You think like I might succeed this show
in celebrity, and I think I'm on a trajectory right
now where I'm like sore and pretty high out there
in the stratosphere.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Yeah, like, yeah, well you you're doing great. You just
lost a call in radio show contest to a fifty
two year old woman.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
Here's the thing, here's the thing. It was very polarizing.
They got so many emails in the station they had
to pull the content completely from the podcast. So like
some people says, I never heard such an on hind
rant for ten minutes, Like so why did you listen
to it for ten minutes long? And nobody can ever
hear it ever again, will never be heard again in
a lot of stuff I wanted to say, I can't.
(18:54):
I don't know what.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
I didn't know what else you could have said. You
seem to hit everything. There was no filth her would
you admit there's no filter?
Speaker 1 (19:02):
There was no filter. You said everything.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
Famous, famous people's names that were brought up, brought up
that are still live, that are politicians in Massachusetts, that
family members could have heard it that might, like yes,
sent their lawyers after public.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
I'm guessing that's why the audio was scrubbed. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
I have nothing to do with that, but usually if
there's a possibility that some money grabbing lawyer could end up.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
Coach was what other approach was I supposed to do?
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Like, I don't know anything. I don't know anything about
the contest. You told me about it, So.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
I now call this guy alcohol. They're going to have
on there and next on Robbie Road. Steve social media influencers.
So I'm a social media influencer. I'm trying to get
fam likes made Fred touch like, I'm trying to like
I'm a stand up comedian. I so Stephen Brody Stevens
used to listen to this show. He was a famous comedian.
(19:54):
If he was alive, I would to ask.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Him for I know he was.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
He was very well known in the LA comedy scene
and he died years ago. But he was a big
fan of our show.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
As you advice before before you didn't offer advice. So
did you think I was going to crash and burn?
Speaker 5 (20:11):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (20:12):
You said you were going to be I didn't know
there was a contest and all that. But I would
have told you to maybe leave a few things out
that would have offended some of the voters. Because you
want to you'll attack your opponent, but you don't attack
the people you need to vote for you. That's the
key to politics, right, You got to be nice to
the people you want to vote. Isn't that every politician
promises on a lowerer taxes?
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Rightn't make your life better and all?
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Instead, your strategy was you're all a bunch of redneck
losers and vote for me.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
Yeah, people on both sides don't like me because of that,
and I don't like to be slighted, and I'm unwilling
to compromise. Like, dude, you're you have the worst callers man.
People are telling me, like the past couple hours at
the fort the beginn of the show have sucked so bad.
It's co was really slow, Like people are driving into work,
like trying from seven to eleven. He's almost falling asleep
(21:01):
and driving off the road like I should be.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Go on, hold, let me remember bringing on a great
caller right now. Let's go to Danny DeVito, a great caller.
Everyone knows this name, Danny DeVito from Boston. What's going on?
Speaker 6 (21:15):
It's funny you got blind start on it. I actually
listen to that show and I thought he did okay.
I thought he did all right.
Speaker 4 (21:23):
On that show.
Speaker 6 (21:23):
And the guys liked him, Fret Tuca and how he
liked him, So I thought he did all right. I
you know, I think I think blind Scott, I think
he might know one of my friends out in Boston
there over here. His name is Mock Boba. His cousin
owns Boas.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
Is that right?
Speaker 6 (21:43):
Yeah? Man, I don't know if you can ask him that,
but I think he.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Uh, he's still on hold, Cooper. Do we hang up
on the Blind Scott?
Speaker 4 (21:52):
Yeah, I know all the boat Yeah, I know all
the Bobus. I know Mike Anthony. You know it's right
here because I live in the corner of sheets.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
What can't you get get me a deal? Blind Scott?
Every time I go to Boston, I go to bowls,
you can't hook me up.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
You mean, you know the people, they're not letting any
money out of that place. It's like you don't have
so many family men that place.
Speaker 6 (22:11):
That place is good stuff. Though I was in there
lots of Mock. I was out working on Sunday on
the holiday.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
It was good stuff over there, you know, It's wonderful,
and so it's open all night.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Man, it's great.
Speaker 4 (22:23):
They have to drive on the sidewalks when they pick
up the trash. Like I'm like walking down the sidewalks
and all of a sudden, the garbage truck is like
entering the sidewalk while I'm on it.
Speaker 6 (22:32):
They have to like, oh, there's something tight driving over there.
You know that that area right here, it's real tiny,
real small. It's dight driving over there.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
Then they leave all the garbage on the sidewalks.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
All right, all right, Scott, stop your complaining.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
I mean, you call your local politician now, Danny, I mean,
my god, I mean, there's no room that was not
designed for the modern trash truck that part of town.
Speaker 6 (22:53):
No, exactly right, it's the tiny area over there and
all that.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
But uh, you know that.
Speaker 6 (22:57):
Competition still was still going on ninety five.
Speaker 4 (23:01):
Next week there.
Speaker 6 (23:02):
They have a couple of contestants on there too.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
It's still going on.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
All right.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
I don't know about it. I just I don't know
anything about it. And I just he told me to
listen to Scott. So I tuned in and I heard
his part when I was I was at the coming
back from the gym or whatever.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
But anyway, all right, what you got, Dandy, what do
you I gotta?
Speaker 6 (23:23):
I'm calling about Democats Lawrence. I love when an athlete
comes out, you know, Ben, A lot of these athletes,
they don't you know a lot of them. When they,
you know, go on and they talk, it's all fake,
it's all scripted. I love when an athlete comes out
and actually tells it like it is. He was totally
right about Dallas. You're not gonna win nothing with that
owner over there, and you're not gonna win nothing with Prescott.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
So yeah, he was.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
It is great man, there there is. It's a true serum.
And then the funniest part about it is that Mike.
That's two funny parts. Like Michael Parsons tries to defend
the Cowboys honor and then DeMarcus Lawrence just complete he
buries him right comes back when remember if you spent
less time on Twitter and more time focused on the field,
you'd win.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
So that's good.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
But then Danny, you had the Cowboy fans many and listen,
we got we're on in Dallas, got cowboy fans that
like the show and they despise Jerry Jones. And yet
they were so upset they were running to defend Jerry
Jones because that's how upset they were at what DeMarcus
Lawrence said. They're like, well, we don't like the we
don't like Jerry either, but you're not allowed to rip him.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
You're a seahawk now.
Speaker 6 (24:29):
So yeah, exactly right over there, Ben, And as far
as the drawing James goes, I mean, he's twenty forty
one years old, a courtse he's on something. Ben. When
he first came into the league back in three to
oh four, he was hit trying on the lock in.
As you know, they showed some pictures of him and
they always do it every now and then. He was
like fifty pounds of sixty pounds A light up.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Well people do.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Well, people do get bigger, all well, they they You
do get bigger as you get older.
Speaker 6 (24:59):
I mean that's just yeah, okay, he was with you
twenty three answer the leaguer.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Hey, I don't know, just in case the very litigious
Lebron James is listening, I don't know if he's doing
anything all I know is in my past. When I've
heard of people that are associated with athletes who are
involved in peds, the trickle down to the athlete generally
not that far away. That's all I know. It's usually
(25:25):
follow follow the dots, and it's said normally you're not wrong.
So yeah, all right, Denny, I gotta go. But thank you,
I mean, yeah, not you. I just have this guy,
the King of Courage, I have to talk to. When
you when you have a chance to talk to the
King of Kurds, you talk to the King of Kurds.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Hello, King of Courage.
Speaker 5 (25:44):
Welcome Daniel, beautiful bastard.
Speaker 7 (25:47):
I want to park my car, had to have a
yard and go to the bar.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
All right there.
Speaker 7 (25:54):
Sorry, it was a lot of the Boston callers recently.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Yeah, I know, give me some, Give me some Wisconsin.
What's a cliche Wisconsin dialect?
Speaker 1 (26:06):
If you're from Wisconsin.
Speaker 7 (26:08):
Sorry, you say sorry for everything? Well, I'm sorry, sorry,
sorry for that?
Speaker 4 (26:15):
Op?
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Sorry, oh sorry, oops, sorry, okay, but a lot of yeah,
a lot.
Speaker 5 (26:20):
Of the Fargo, Minnesota people have taken that.
Speaker 7 (26:22):
I respect all the callers though, but I was what, yes,
I do well most of them.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Which one do you hate which callery do you low?
Speaker 5 (26:33):
Oh, I don't even.
Speaker 7 (26:36):
Think they're on the air, and I can't think of
their name off hand.
Speaker 5 (26:39):
I don't want to waste your time.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Well some would, are you? You've already wasted my time?
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Yeah, definitely, I'm kidding, all right, all right, what's on
your mind?
Speaker 7 (26:49):
I just heard blind Scott, so it made me want
to jump into a check in. He wants to be
like some infamous caller the Battle of the Braille, a
royal rumbo style verbal octagon onere of.
Speaker 5 (27:00):
The best dish.
Speaker 7 (27:02):
Yeah, meets up with Scott every time.
Speaker 5 (27:05):
Nonetheless, I like.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
The name Battle of the Braille. That's a good name.
Do you have any advice to Blind Scott? You want
to give him some advice?
Speaker 5 (27:13):
He doesn't need any.
Speaker 7 (27:15):
We just need people to step up against him.
Speaker 5 (27:17):
I think you can handle it. But you know, I
just wanted to get your take.
Speaker 7 (27:21):
I can't believe he took a pay cut during COVID because,
as you say, you do the work of God and
you let people escape. And I can't believe he took
a pay cut because you gave people an escape, you guys,
Coop everyone that was working there at the time.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Sure, we had no choice. But but no, well we
everyone had to. But yeah, I hear it.
Speaker 5 (27:42):
Also tinfoil hat time Tropicana. Then they have a casino implode,
and now the Tampa Bay Rays couldn't even give away
ALCS tickets and Denny's this Tiger.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Would Tampa are going to be playing in a minor
league ballpark this year.
Speaker 7 (28:03):
I think it's Tropicana's fault.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
Yes, it's the it's their fault. There was an act
of God and the roof blew off the stadium. That, yeah,
that's it's all related. You're right, all right, go eat
some cheese skirts.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
I'm jealous. I can't eat those. I'm going, all right,
I'm jealous. What do you want me to say? King
of Kurds, not not the Prince of.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
Kurds, the King of Kurds, which is much different than
the Prince of Kurds.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
Ce C for me. What is this about?
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Well, Bill Belichick, remember him? Yeah, so I read this.
Bill Belichick, now North Carolina football coach and all that,
and he has instructed all of the University of North
Carolina employees that contact him to ce c his girlfriend
on all emails. So you cannot just write to Bill Belichick.
(28:57):
You have to see see how old is she, like
twenty five or something like that. I don't know, but
you have to see see his young lady friend there,
Jordan Hudson on all emails.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
And so he got me thinking like why is this?
Speaker 2 (29:09):
And my thought is that Belichick just doesn't want to
deal with the bull crap, and so he figures, Hey,
I can play the old guy card, and I'm gonna
play it from the bottom of the deck. I'm gonna
play the I'm in my seventies. I don't want to
deal with this crap. So I got this younger lady.
I'm gonna have her deal with the bull crap and
(29:31):
I'll just coach because he doesn't. I'm sure he knows
how to use email and all that stuff and whatnot,
but it's not his thing.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
It's not from his world growing up.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
And so he's gonna let other people, or in this case,
this lady, take care of all the bullcrap emails from
professors complaining about students or whatever.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
And that's how they're gonna do it. That's how they're
gonna operate.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
's go back to the phones. We'll say hello to Steven,
who is up next? What's going on, Steven? Welcome?
Speaker 7 (29:57):
Hey listen, man, I heard a couple of guys here
day and I'm just wow, like this is a sports show.
Speaker 6 (30:02):
You guys are clowns.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Bro, thank you all right?
Speaker 2 (30:06):
Way, Uh, let's uh, let's say hello, do we have
Let's go to.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Jed who fled? Now, this guy's a legitimate calling him
like that loser, Steven, what's going on? Jed who fled? Welcome?
Speaker 8 (30:20):
Hi, Steven. But you wish that I was dead. But
when you can't get a clowns out of your age,
you know that clown's name is dead. Because what this
guy I got?
Speaker 4 (30:31):
I was born with a red nose, tight seventy four shoes. Steven,
what the hell am I supposed to do?
Speaker 6 (30:35):
You know what I did about mom birks now, but
I have no other option to be but a clown.
Speaker 7 (30:39):
A clown.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
I mean, there's a I want to alert everyone. There's
a cosmic event tonight. I mean, we're off the we're
going off here here.
Speaker 4 (30:49):
How everybody's toy bones?
Speaker 3 (30:50):
What the hell are you doing?
Speaker 1 (30:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (30:53):
Okay, man on the run being.
Speaker 8 (30:56):
Drading jobs and I take.
Speaker 6 (30:58):
Get off the air.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
I gotta go. I I can't I mean, what is
going on here? Holy crap? Did you look at the
cosmic No, I don't. I stay in my little studio here.
I don't walk out. It was cool. Yeah, nice, it
was beautiful. You should have gone and looked.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
I don't need to look at it because I'm experiencing
it the effects of it right now.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
Oh that's too light. Yeah, I mean that's what happens.
Speaker 9 (31:26):
I'm gonna go look again.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
Once you try to bring You're going to go look
again right now.
Speaker 9 (31:30):
Well, when I first got here, I don't believe it's over.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
There's no way it can end that fast.
Speaker 9 (31:35):
No, it's not a little over an hour.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
Let's go to our cosmic expert now, Andrea, and she's
in Berkeley.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
She has more in this developing story. Andrea. He's got
the Farmer's Almanac.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
She's the astrology lady Virgo and service on Axelo.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
Andrea, Hello, how are you?
Speaker 2 (31:53):
If I was any better, I'd probably be having a
bunch of whiskey right now after these phone calls.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
But anyway, Yes, what's.
Speaker 8 (31:59):
On your You know, the full moon brings out how
should we say, the unique energy and personality of your callers.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
Yes, yes, there's a different element to the wow that
calls the show.
Speaker 8 (32:13):
Yes, good way to put it. And I was just
watching the Warriors game and Steph Curry check it out
right on the cusp of his Pisces birthday. He's born
March fourteen, nineteen eighty eight, and he scored its his
four thousand three pointer.
Speaker 4 (32:28):
So that was amazing.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
I saw that the war is won. They won vague
over Sacramento.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
But it shows you yet again, Andrea, that we love
round numbers. That round numbers, yes, are the most important
numbers of them all. But you would say no one
in NBA history had made three nine ninety nine three
point shots. That's not satisfying. The number four thousand is satisfying, right, and.
Speaker 8 (32:57):
Like a milestone energy to it.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, But it's it's just amusing because it's like, well,
no one's ever made three nine hund ninety I had
three pointers, but once you get to four thousand, I
know they didn't they didn't stop the game.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
And some people were upset about that and all. But
they the round number thing.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
Now that's supposedly because of evolution, right that they I've
read some studies on this over the years. Interesting that
the obsession with round numbers is based on the fact
that we the ten number system because we have ten
fingers right. Well, yeah, you have the eight fingers and
the two thumbs, which is ten fingers, and they think
that's why so worked up by round numbers.
Speaker 8 (33:37):
Interesting. Well, in his birthday, I mean, how about that
for cosmic timing March fourteen, nineteen eighty eight, So that
was like a memorable cusp of his birthday accomplishment. And
we have the full moon lunar eclipse and venus retrograde
and again for the Mala militia mercury retrogrades tomorrow March
(33:58):
fourteen to April seven.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
Does that mean that Aaron Rodgers will wait till the
start of working?
Speaker 8 (34:04):
You know, isn't that interesting? Quote unquote He was mulling
it over. Did you see that article? And you know
he's totally into astrology and a colleague of mine is
is astrologer, so he swears by it. So obviously he's
privy to the information of mercury about to retrograde, venus retrograde,
and the full moon lunar eclipse. So no need to
(34:25):
rush things with all these cosmic goings on, you know,
less is more so you know, the full moon. It's
in Virgo, so that's good for self care, some healing,
some guidance, body mind, spirit, so kind of good to
tune in. But yeah, he's mulling it over. That was
his exact words.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
Yeah, yeah, Do I want to eat Perogi's in Pittsburgh?
Do I want to go eat some good Deli meat
in New York? Or do I want to go to
Minnesota and have the juicy lucy and get paid forty
million dollars a year in any of those cities? Well, Andrea,
thank you, go in service, enjoy your bath, thank you.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
All right, thank you clip all right, there she is.
She's a rockstar. Andrea the astrology lady Virgo in service,
and she's on ax.
Speaker 2 (35:13):
If you want to say he load to her. Straight ahead,
we're gonna have Mallard to the third degree. Here is
the Insta trivia. Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson and Blank were
the only players in twenty twenty four to have ten
or more interceptions and below ten touchdown passes.
Speaker 1 (35:29):

(37:37):
bad job by you.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
There we go, here, we go.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
Here, We got to the third degree. This is one
big event.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
Gets grilled Superlo.
Speaker 9 (37:52):
And a recent appearance on Dan Patrick, former NFL player
turned analyst Lewis Riddick expanded on the idea that NFL
head coaches are worried that they could eventually be supplanted
by Deon Sanders if they draft Dion sun Shador. Now, Ben,
do you think that's playing a factor in Shador's draft stock.
Speaker 1 (38:09):
No, but I like it.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
I like the idea that that the father Dion's gonna
meddle when these coaches affairs, Like, really, what they're saying
is Shooter Sanders sucks and they can't win with them, right,
Whi's a tactful way of saying, well, he's not that good,
so we're gonna get fired. And then they're gonna bring
Dion in because he's a bigger name. Because if Shuoter
Sanders is good, he shouldn't need Dion Sanders to coach him.
He should be able to play for anybody. So it
(38:32):
is amusing, and you know, I'd like to see Dion
in the NFL for talk radio purposes.
Speaker 9 (38:37):
But next, Jimmy Garoppolo signed a one year deal to
stay with the Rams. Now, Jimmy g went on to
say that his decision to stay with the Rams was
more about liking the people in the organization rather than
a lack of other opportunities. Ben, do you think he
could have got a better opportunity elsewhere?
Speaker 1 (38:53):
Well, what is your definition of better? Could? Could?
Speaker 2 (38:55):
Could Jimmy Garoppolo have gone to like the Cleveland Browns
or some other team that's in a recession and gotten
an opportunity, probably some floundering team. But his only chance
of playing on a good team is if Matthew Stafford
gets hurt and then he takes over.
Speaker 1 (39:10):
That's it. So that could happen.
Speaker 2 (39:12):
Stafford gets hurt a lot, So that's his chance to
playing a good team.
Speaker 1 (39:15):
Next.
Speaker 9 (39:16):
It was announced on Wednesday the Viking safety Harrison Smith
would have returned for his fourteenth season with the team.
Ben Harrison's compiled quite the resume in his time in Minnesota.
Do you think it's enough to get in the Hall.
Speaker 1 (39:26):
No, He's only been an All Pro one time. That's it.
Speaker 2 (39:30):
That's not a Hall of Fame resume. He's played a
long time. Good for him, but not even close to
Hall of Fame status. No way, How did we.
Speaker 1 (39:39):
Do you pass? This edition?
Speaker 2 (39:41):
That is a wins We can put it on the

Speaker 1 (00:08):
It's my favorite daily week. It's Friday.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Here and Ben Maler show up all night giving you
a fresh pod. We thank you for supporting the podcast,
giving us five stars. Five stars on the podcast. So
here at our number two executive, Stan Casting, longtime baseball executive,
rejecting the idea of the Dwyers, the Dodgers, of the
evil Empire of Baseball over the Yankees.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Give me your school of thought on that.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Also, the Tampa Bay Rays have abandoned a one point
three billion dollars stadium plan in Florida.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
What does that mean in the big picture. We'll talk
about that.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
And rafe L Devers says he will do whatever the
Red Sox want him to do regarding third base and
designated hitter and whether or not he changes positions.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Do you believe him.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
We'll talk about that as well. It's all coming your
way right now here. It is our number two, the
Great Dodger Debate. If you will welcome in the beginning
of yet another hour. It is the Ben Mahlor Show.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
As we are in.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
Be so our lead this hour is from baseball. Now.
I realize there are.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
No baseball games to discuss. I get that, but there
are some stories that are interesting. The season begins next week,
the soft launch in Japan, not for the American audience,
for the Japanese audience. But Baseball sold those games. They're
making a killing. I'm hearing from boots on the ground
of Japan. The Dodger merch, the Otani merch.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Is just in sim but they sell it anyway.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
But just because the Dodgers are there, They've got special
merchandise anyway. As we wait for opening Day and the
land of the Rising Sun. Some interesting chatter about the
Doyers and their spot atop the totem pole in baseball.
Right now, the reigning champions of baseball predicted to win
the World Series again. So if you didn't hear about this,
and maybe not, The Dodgers president longtime sports executive stand
(03:04):
Casting rejected rejection mo Tumbo. He rejected being labeled baseball's
new evil empire, talking to Hall of Fame Baseball scribe
Jason Stark, stand cast and dismissing the notion that the
Dodgers are the evil empire, saying they're neither evil nor
(03:27):
an empire. Casting followed up by telling Jason Stark that
the odds of the twenty twenty five season suggests a
team other than the Dodgers will win the World Series.
He said, the oddsmakers claim there's a.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Seventy five percent chance that someone other.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Than us, cast and said, meaning the Dodgers will win
the World Series this year. So it's hard to be
that evil or much of an empire if that continues,
all right, so let us discuss the question. Stand Casting,
Baseball executive Dodger executive rejecting the idea that the Dodgers
(04:07):
are the evil Empire of baseball over the Yankees or
the New Yankees, if you will, so give me your
school of thought on this one. So I've got Star Wars, Mayflower,
and Boulevard, and we will combine all of these things
together and we are going to make a Pastrami sandwich,
(04:30):
wonderful sandwich, Top five sandwich Pastami sandwich. So, first of all,
because I understand that Stan Casting is a lifetime sports
executive and that that's how you keep lifetime employment, you go, oh,
I don't want.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
To be called evil. I've got to protect the brand. Brand, brand, brand, brand, brand,
bran brand, brand, brand and that thing.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Nevertheless, though, all right, so Stancaster is trying to protect
the brand.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
This is a feather in the cap on this side
of the microphone for the It is an honor to
be called the evil Empire. Embrace it. There was this basketball.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Player named Wilt Chamberlain back in the day, and he
was the biggest, baddest guy in the NBA at the
time and scored one hundred points. And he had heard
about him and he once said that nobody loves Goliath.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Right, Well, he was Gallith.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
The Dodgers are Goliath paying these dingle berries over twenty
years down the line on layaway payments, Man of genius.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Just wonderful.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
So my advice here, my advice to the Dodgers is
to go Star Wars Return of the Jedi.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Do you know what I mean? Maybe not? So then
me explained, So the Emperor, if.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
You remember the this goes back many years, but it's
a classic move. So the Emperor attempts to persuade Luke
Skywalker remember to join the Dark Side, and he's given
the sales pitch on the Dark Side, and he said,
it's a good way of feelings justified in embracing your
vengeance or something along those lines. Right, You've got a
(06:11):
lot of rage and you can embrace it. So let
the hate flow through you. Was the line, let the
hate flow through you, And that's my face. Ultimately, the
Dodgers the one thing they're missing any think about the
Yankees when they were the Evil Empire.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
They had a great arch villain.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
The arch villain was George Steinbrenner, who was seen as
the demon spawn, right, George Steinberner the boss and those
kids are soft pathetic the next generation.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
But George Steinbrenner was a great villain. He was wonderful.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
He was a perfect enemy combatant and inherently sinister, a
mischief maker. And it was either you win a championship
or you're a loser. You get firing managers. He was
just wonderful. Like the Dodgers Dave Roberts. I would have
fired Dave Roberts eight years ago and Dave Roberts, Dave
Roberts is still there. You know, he's doing his thing
(07:04):
and that's that no matter what. And they're fine, and
it seemed like they're generally kind of nice guys, the Dodgers,
and so they don't have a lot of those characteristics.
But I would embrace it because everyone on baseball hates you,
like all the other teams are jealous, like they don't have.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
The good players.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
You get all the good players, and so you might
as well. It's good for the sport. You need to
have that evil side to it. And if the Dodgers
are that, that's fine. Won the World Series last year,
They're gonna win the World Series this year. And Stan
cast and what he failed to mention is the Dodgers
are the biggest World Series favorite since the team that
(07:41):
was called the evil Empire the Yankees back.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Twenty some years ago, all right.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Now, Secondly to the Tampa Saint Pete area, that is
where the Rays.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
That's a baseball team, not a good one. The Tampa Bay.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Rays have abandoned a one point three billion dollar stadium plan.
They've just said bye bye to it in Florida. So
what does that mean? Big picture?
Speaker 1 (08:08):
What does that mean?
Speaker 2 (08:09):
So it means that the Tampa Bay baseball team is
on the endangered list that the owner also is in
time out Stu Sternberg.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Now we know the rest of the story.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
There was a story a couple of days ago that
there was pressure from inside baseball to have Stu Sternberg
sell the Tampa Bay Rays. And now we know he
is really meat loaf. He's dead.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Meat loaf is what he is.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Because from what I understand of this and a'bsoltainly not
there and I'm just reading.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Some details from those that are much closer to the situation.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
But as I understand it, the Commissioner rob Manfraud. Rob Manfraud,
the Commissioner of Baseball personally and successfully lobbied these local
politicians to get the eightium bonds approved and all that
He got everything signed off on to set up a
(09:05):
new stadium for the Tampa Bay Race. He cleared the
jungle for a deal, got rid of all the rainforests
and all that to build the ballpark, only to have
the owner of the Tampa Bay Rays flip the bird
and kill the switch.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
And that's it is. The switch was killed and then
the deals off. So warm up.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
The lesson is to warm up the Mayflower moving vans.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
If you're from Baltimore, you know what that means.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
So we now move the relocation clock of the Tampa
Bay Rays baseball team from ninety seconds to eighty nine
seconds to midnight.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
The closest it has been eight years.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
The Rays mentioned Tampa Bay to Nashville. That very much
in play the last time a team left, although they're
not there yet. The formerly Oakland Athletics. You're old enough
to remember when Oakland had the Athletics, and they're moving
the Vegas Vegas was supposed to get an expansion baseball
team Vegas instead getting a team that's kind of like
(10:06):
an expansion team, the Athletics. But they're gonna be in Sacramento.
But they don't want to mention Sacramento. They're embarrassed by Sacramento.
Sacramento is like a booty call. They don't want anyone
to know they're they're with Sacramento, even though they're playing
in Sacramento.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
They're kind of embarrassed about it.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
So they have shame for Sacramento because they don't want
to say the word Sacramento. So they're just saying they're
the Athletics and they don't want anyone to know that
they're sleeping with Sacramento. It's a big mess, all right. Now,
final fight to Boston Spring training Camp.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Well it's in Florida, obviously.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
But after a lot of controversy a couple of weeks ago,
remember the story regarding Raffie Devers and Alex Bregman, the
cheating astro forever a cheating astro, and so Bregman joined
the Red Sox and there was this great debate is
Bregman going to go to second base?
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Is Rafaeld Dever is going to become.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
The DH and so Devers ruffled a bunch of feathers
as he mentioned he was not interested in changing spots
to accommodate the roster demands of the the manager, Alice Corps.
So now now he's evolved, if you will. Rafaeld Devers
(11:15):
now says that he will do whatever whatever the Red
Sox want him to do regarding third base and designated here.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
If they want to move him, that's fine. Do you
believe him?
Speaker 2 (11:27):
So I spent a couple of seconds deliberating on this,
and as I was wandering in sashchanging into the.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Studio, I said, you know what I'm gonna do on
this one. I'm gonna get in the car. I'm actually
gonna drive down the boulevard. I'm gonna go on the
boulevard and it's Skeptics Boulevard. The sign says Skeptics Boulevard,
because that's where I'm going. I'm going down Skeptics Boulevard.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
It is more likely than not that this is some
scripted reality that someone got to hold the Rafael Devers
and coached him up, if you will, and say here's
probably how you should handle this.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
You might want to do this trying to calm the waters.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Now now I suspect that he's not all that happy
with the idea.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Of changing positions. He's just now trying to play the
game and try to calm everyone down and all that.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
So this will continue to be a storyline assuming one
of two things happen. The Red Sox sucked that becomes
a story or if Rafael Devers slash Alex Bregman do
not hit and it is deemed that either the cheating
a hole or Rafaeld Devers are not hitting because of
(12:41):
defensive issues, then it becomes a problem. Now if they're
contending and they're playing well and both players are hitting,
the story goes away. It's all about the stumble and
I've fallen and I can't get a clap on, clap
off the clapper. That's what it's all about. That's what
it's all about. This show is all about you and I.

And I'm the hostess with the mostes for the Talk Fiesta.
Bob wrights In says blind Scott must be devastated. He
lost miserably in the Toucher and Rich contest. He says,
I did vote for him. You need to reach out
to Sarah, who he lost to. So this is the
morning show on our affiliate in Boston, the sports very
(15:29):
popular morning show. They had a some kind of caller
bracket contest. I don't know all the details on it.
Blind Scott was in it, and it apparently did not
go well for blind Scott. Let's get more on this
developing story right now, and let's say, hello, we go
over to blind blind Scott. Blind Scott, can you please
(15:50):
give us the details. Did you actually get smoked in
this contest? Is that correct?
Speaker 4 (15:55):
Here's the thing, like I were you listen, like, here's
the thing like I went on for seventeen minutes straight.
I talked for I beat Sarah from Everette. He's a
fifty two year old woman from Everett. I smoked her
so bad. If you go into the podcast, they cut
all the audio off the podcast, it won't they won't
even they won't even replay it. So here's the thing.
(16:16):
They vented me for this contest. They took my information.
They didn't tell me. They told me the context. The
context was like a boxing match against Sarah, like and
I revealed like everything about myself, like to the whole audience.
And I'm like, I just teaed off, like I talked
about stuff that I wouldn't talk about on this show,
Like I don't know, Ben, if I don't you listen, Ben,
(16:37):
you don't you wouldn't let me talk about it?
Speaker 1 (16:39):
No, No, I would never. I would never do that.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
He touched on like communism or socialism or something like
if you were all over the place, But I, uh yeah,
So do you feel like you you went too far?
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Blind Scott? You feel like if you could do it
over you would have I.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
Think, yeah, I think maybe I would have Nicky Klay
there like help me with it. But here's the thing,
like they nobody can listen to it. I think I
beat Sarah from everytt the audience. So I just trashed
the audience completely. I knew I didn't have a chance.
So I found out that they wouldn't allow me in
the studio ever, Like I'm never allowed in their studio,
(17:15):
and they're trying to figure me out a little bit.
I need more airtime, like on their show. I need
more airtime on this show. I have a lot of content,
Like I could talk for four hours. I think I
started talking about the UTA Bomber Manifesto maybe and that
was probably a u A bad movie.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
But yeah, yeah, I think.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
I think when you're you're asking people to vote for
you and then calling them all kinds of names, that's
generally not not a great thing.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
So you think, like I talked about being a strange
for my family, you think my family might have been
listening and saying like, uh, like I'm a little bit worried,
like what I'm hearing here. You think they're just like, oh, lad,
like there's no contact.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Well my professional advice, there's a term called too much information,
uh tm I, And yeah you were like that, You're
like the post You're like the poster child of too
much information.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
You know, I'm saying, I think there's a chance I
could pass you in celebrity. This is because like I
obviously think up a celebrity and I have a lot
to operate. You think like I might succeed this show
in celebrity, and I think I'm on a trajectory right
now where I'm like sore and pretty high out there
in the stratosphere.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Yeah, like, yeah, well you you're doing great. You just
lost a call in radio show contest to a fifty
two year old woman.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
Here's the thing, here's the thing. It was very polarizing.
They got so many emails in the station they had
to pull the content completely from the podcast. So like
some people says, I never heard such an on hind
rant for ten minutes, Like so why did you listen
to it for ten minutes long? And nobody can ever
hear it ever again, will never be heard again in
a lot of stuff I wanted to say, I can't.
(18:54):
I don't know what.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
I didn't know what else you could have said. You
seem to hit everything. There was no filth her would
you admit there's no filter?
Speaker 1 (19:02):
There was no filter. You said everything.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
Famous, famous people's names that were brought up, brought up
that are still live, that are politicians in Massachusetts, that
family members could have heard it that might, like yes,
sent their lawyers after public.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
I'm guessing that's why the audio was scrubbed. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
I have nothing to do with that, but usually if
there's a possibility that some money grabbing lawyer could end up.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
Coach was what other approach was I supposed to do?
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Like, I don't know anything. I don't know anything about
the contest. You told me about it, So.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
I now call this guy alcohol. They're going to have
on there and next on Robbie Road. Steve social media influencers.
So I'm a social media influencer. I'm trying to get
fam likes made Fred touch like, I'm trying to like
I'm a stand up comedian. I so Stephen Brody Stevens
used to listen to this show. He was a famous comedian.
(19:54):
If he was alive, I would to ask.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Him for I know he was.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
He was very well known in the LA comedy scene
and he died years ago. But he was a big
fan of our show.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
As you advice before before you didn't offer advice. So
did you think I was going to crash and burn?
Speaker 5 (20:11):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (20:12):
You said you were going to be I didn't know
there was a contest and all that. But I would
have told you to maybe leave a few things out
that would have offended some of the voters. Because you
want to you'll attack your opponent, but you don't attack
the people you need to vote for you. That's the
key to politics, right, You got to be nice to
the people you want to vote. Isn't that every politician
promises on a lowerer taxes?
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Rightn't make your life better and all?
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Instead, your strategy was you're all a bunch of redneck
losers and vote for me.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
Yeah, people on both sides don't like me because of that,
and I don't like to be slighted, and I'm unwilling
to compromise. Like, dude, you're you have the worst callers man.
People are telling me, like the past couple hours at
the fort the beginn of the show have sucked so bad.
It's co was really slow, Like people are driving into work,
like trying from seven to eleven. He's almost falling asleep
(21:01):
and driving off the road like I should be.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Go on, hold, let me remember bringing on a great
caller right now. Let's go to Danny DeVito, a great caller.
Everyone knows this name, Danny DeVito from Boston. What's going on?
Speaker 6 (21:15):
It's funny you got blind start on it. I actually
listen to that show and I thought he did okay.
I thought he did all right.
Speaker 4 (21:23):
On that show.
Speaker 6 (21:23):
And the guys liked him, Fret Tuca and how he
liked him, So I thought he did all right. I
you know, I think I think blind Scott, I think
he might know one of my friends out in Boston
there over here. His name is Mock Boba. His cousin
owns Boas.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
Is that right?
Speaker 6 (21:43):
Yeah? Man, I don't know if you can ask him that,
but I think he.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Uh, he's still on hold, Cooper. Do we hang up
on the Blind Scott?
Speaker 4 (21:52):
Yeah, I know all the boat Yeah, I know all
the Bobus. I know Mike Anthony. You know it's right
here because I live in the corner of sheets.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
What can't you get get me a deal? Blind Scott?
Every time I go to Boston, I go to bowls,
you can't hook me up.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
You mean, you know the people, they're not letting any
money out of that place. It's like you don't have
so many family men that place.
Speaker 6 (22:11):
That place is good stuff. Though I was in there
lots of Mock. I was out working on Sunday on
the holiday.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
It was good stuff over there, you know, It's wonderful,
and so it's open all night.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Man, it's great.
Speaker 4 (22:23):
They have to drive on the sidewalks when they pick
up the trash. Like I'm like walking down the sidewalks
and all of a sudden, the garbage truck is like
entering the sidewalk while I'm on it.
Speaker 6 (22:32):
They have to like, oh, there's something tight driving over there.
You know that that area right here, it's real tiny,
real small. It's dight driving over there.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
Then they leave all the garbage on the sidewalks.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
All right, all right, Scott, stop your complaining.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
I mean, you call your local politician now, Danny, I mean,
my god, I mean, there's no room that was not
designed for the modern trash truck that part of town.
Speaker 6 (22:53):
No, exactly right, it's the tiny area over there and
all that.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
But uh, you know that.
Speaker 6 (22:57):
Competition still was still going on ninety five.
Speaker 4 (23:01):
Next week there.
Speaker 6 (23:02):
They have a couple of contestants on there too.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
It's still going on.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
All right.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
I don't know about it. I just I don't know
anything about it. And I just he told me to
listen to Scott. So I tuned in and I heard
his part when I was I was at the coming
back from the gym or whatever.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
But anyway, all right, what you got, Dandy, what do
you I gotta?
Speaker 6 (23:23):
I'm calling about Democats Lawrence. I love when an athlete
comes out, you know, Ben, A lot of these athletes,
they don't you know a lot of them. When they,
you know, go on and they talk, it's all fake,
it's all scripted. I love when an athlete comes out
and actually tells it like it is. He was totally
right about Dallas. You're not gonna win nothing with that
owner over there, and you're not gonna win nothing with Prescott.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
So yeah, he was.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
It is great man, there there is. It's a true serum.
And then the funniest part about it is that Mike.
That's two funny parts. Like Michael Parsons tries to defend
the Cowboys honor and then DeMarcus Lawrence just complete he
buries him right comes back when remember if you spent
less time on Twitter and more time focused on the field,
you'd win.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
So that's good.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
But then Danny, you had the Cowboy fans many and listen,
we got we're on in Dallas, got cowboy fans that
like the show and they despise Jerry Jones. And yet
they were so upset they were running to defend Jerry
Jones because that's how upset they were at what DeMarcus
Lawrence said. They're like, well, we don't like the we
don't like Jerry either, but you're not allowed to rip him.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
You're a seahawk now.
Speaker 6 (24:29):
So yeah, exactly right over there, Ben, And as far
as the drawing James goes, I mean, he's twenty forty
one years old, a courtse he's on something. Ben. When
he first came into the league back in three to
oh four, he was hit trying on the lock in.
As you know, they showed some pictures of him and
they always do it every now and then. He was
like fifty pounds of sixty pounds A light up.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Well people do.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Well, people do get bigger, all well, they they You
do get bigger as you get older.
Speaker 6 (24:59):
I mean that's just yeah, okay, he was with you
twenty three answer the leaguer.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Hey, I don't know, just in case the very litigious
Lebron James is listening, I don't know if he's doing
anything all I know is in my past. When I've
heard of people that are associated with athletes who are
involved in peds, the trickle down to the athlete generally
not that far away. That's all I know. It's usually
(25:25):
follow follow the dots, and it's said normally you're not wrong.
So yeah, all right, Denny, I gotta go. But thank you,
I mean, yeah, not you. I just have this guy,
the King of Courage, I have to talk to. When
you when you have a chance to talk to the
King of Kurds, you talk to the King of Kurds.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Hello, King of Courage.
Speaker 5 (25:44):
Welcome Daniel, beautiful bastard.
Speaker 7 (25:47):
I want to park my car, had to have a
yard and go to the bar.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
All right there.
Speaker 7 (25:54):
Sorry, it was a lot of the Boston callers recently.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Yeah, I know, give me some, Give me some Wisconsin.
What's a cliche Wisconsin dialect?
Speaker 1 (26:06):
If you're from Wisconsin.
Speaker 7 (26:08):
Sorry, you say sorry for everything? Well, I'm sorry, sorry,
sorry for that?
Speaker 4 (26:15):
Op?
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Sorry, oh sorry, oops, sorry, okay, but a lot of yeah,
a lot.
Speaker 5 (26:20):
Of the Fargo, Minnesota people have taken that.
Speaker 7 (26:22):
I respect all the callers though, but I was what, yes,
I do well most of them.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Which one do you hate which callery do you low?
Speaker 5 (26:33):
Oh, I don't even.
Speaker 7 (26:36):
Think they're on the air, and I can't think of
their name off hand.
Speaker 5 (26:39):
I don't want to waste your time.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Well some would, are you? You've already wasted my time?
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Yeah, definitely, I'm kidding, all right, all right, what's on
your mind?
Speaker 7 (26:49):
I just heard blind Scott, so it made me want
to jump into a check in. He wants to be
like some infamous caller the Battle of the Braille, a
royal rumbo style verbal octagon onere of.
Speaker 5 (27:00):
The best dish.
Speaker 7 (27:02):
Yeah, meets up with Scott every time.
Speaker 5 (27:05):
Nonetheless, I like.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
The name Battle of the Braille. That's a good name.
Do you have any advice to Blind Scott? You want
to give him some advice?
Speaker 5 (27:13):
He doesn't need any.
Speaker 7 (27:15):
We just need people to step up against him.
Speaker 5 (27:17):
I think you can handle it. But you know, I
just wanted to get your take.
Speaker 7 (27:21):
I can't believe he took a pay cut during COVID because,
as you say, you do the work of God and
you let people escape. And I can't believe he took
a pay cut because you gave people an escape, you guys,
Coop everyone that was working there at the time.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Sure, we had no choice. But but no, well we
everyone had to. But yeah, I hear it.
Speaker 5 (27:42):
Also tinfoil hat time Tropicana. Then they have a casino implode,
and now the Tampa Bay Rays couldn't even give away
ALCS tickets and Denny's this Tiger.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Would Tampa are going to be playing in a minor
league ballpark this year.
Speaker 7 (28:03):
I think it's Tropicana's fault.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
Yes, it's the it's their fault. There was an act
of God and the roof blew off the stadium. That, yeah,
that's it's all related. You're right, all right, go eat
some cheese skirts.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
I'm jealous. I can't eat those. I'm going, all right,
I'm jealous. What do you want me to say? King
of Kurds, not not the Prince of.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
Kurds, the King of Kurds, which is much different than
the Prince of Kurds.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
Ce C for me. What is this about?
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Well, Bill Belichick, remember him? Yeah, so I read this.
Bill Belichick, now North Carolina football coach and all that,
and he has instructed all of the University of North
Carolina employees that contact him to ce c his girlfriend
on all emails. So you cannot just write to Bill Belichick.
(28:57):
You have to see see how old is she, like
twenty five or something like that. I don't know, but
you have to see see his young lady friend there,
Jordan Hudson on all emails.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
And so he got me thinking like why is this?
Speaker 2 (29:09):
And my thought is that Belichick just doesn't want to
deal with the bull crap, and so he figures, Hey,
I can play the old guy card, and I'm gonna
play it from the bottom of the deck. I'm gonna
play the I'm in my seventies. I don't want to
deal with this crap. So I got this younger lady.
I'm gonna have her deal with the bull crap and
(29:31):
I'll just coach because he doesn't. I'm sure he knows
how to use email and all that stuff and whatnot,
but it's not his thing.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
It's not from his world growing up.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
And so he's gonna let other people, or in this case,

professors complaining about students or whatever.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
And that's how they're gonna do it. That's how they're
gonna operate.

you know that clown's name is dead. Because what this
guy I got?
Speaker 4 (30:31):
I was born with a red nose, tight seventy four shoes. Steven,

Speaker 6 (30:35):
You know what I did about mom birks now, but
I have no other option to be but a clown.
Speaker 7 (30:39):
A clown.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
I mean, there's a I want to alert everyone. There's
a cosmic event tonight. I mean, we're off the we're
going off here here.
Speaker 4 (30:49):
How everybody's toy bones?
Speaker 3 (30:50):
What the hell are you doing?
Speaker 1 (30:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (30:53):
Okay, man on the run being.
Speaker 8 (30:56):
Drading jobs and I take.
Speaker 6 (30:58):
Get off the air.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
I gotta go. I I can't I mean, what is
going on here? Holy crap? Did you look at the
cosmic No, I don't. I stay in my little studio here.
I don't walk out. It was cool. Yeah, nice, it
was beautiful. You should have gone and looked.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
I don't need to look at it because I'm experiencing
it the effects of it right now.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
Oh that's too light. Yeah, I mean that's what happens.
Speaker 9 (31:26):
I'm gonna go look again.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
Once you try to bring You're going to go look
again right now.
Speaker 9 (31:30):
Well, when I first got here, I don't believe it's over.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
There's no way it can end that fast.
Speaker 9 (31:35):
No, it's not a little over an hour.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
Let's go to our cosmic expert now, Andrea, and she's
in Berkeley.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
She has more in this developing story. Andrea. He's got
the Farmer's Almanac.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
She's the astrology lady Virgo and service on Axelo.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
Andrea, Hello, how are you?
Speaker 2 (31:53):
If I was any better, I'd probably be having a
bunch of whiskey right now after these phone calls.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
But anyway, Yes, what's.
Speaker 8 (31:59):
On your You know, the full moon brings out how
should we say, the unique energy and personality of your callers.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
Yes, yes, there's a different element to the wow that
calls the show.
Speaker 8 (32:13):
Yes, good way to put it. And I was just
watching the Warriors game and Steph Curry check it out
right on the cusp of his Pisces birthday. He's born
March fourteen, nineteen eighty eight, and he scored its his
four thousand three pointer.
Speaker 4 (32:28):
So that was amazing.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
I saw that the war is won. They won vague
over Sacramento.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
But it shows you yet again, Andrea, that we love
round numbers. That round numbers, yes, are the most important
numbers of them all. But you would say no one
in NBA history had made three nine ninety nine three
point shots. That's not satisfying. The number four thousand is satisfying, right, and.
Speaker 8 (32:57):
Like a milestone energy to it.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, But it's it's just amusing because it's like, well,
no one's ever made three nine hund ninety I had
three pointers, but once you get to four thousand, I
know they didn't they didn't stop the game.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
And some people were upset about that and all. But
they the round number thing.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
Now that's supposedly because of evolution, right that they I've
read some studies on this over the years. Interesting that
the obsession with round numbers is based on the fact
that we the ten number system because we have ten
fingers right. Well, yeah, you have the eight fingers and
the two thumbs, which is ten fingers, and they think
that's why so worked up by round numbers.
Speaker 8 (33:37):
Interesting. Well, in his birthday, I mean, how about that
for cosmic timing March fourteen, nineteen eighty eight, So that
was like a memorable cusp of his birthday accomplishment. And
we have the full moon lunar eclipse and venus retrograde
and again for the Mala militia mercury retrogrades tomorrow March
(33:58):
fourteen to April seven.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
Does that mean that Aaron Rodgers will wait till the
start of working?
Speaker 8 (34:04):
You know, isn't that interesting? Quote unquote He was mulling
it over. Did you see that article? And you know
he's totally into astrology and a colleague of mine is
is astrologer, so he swears by it. So obviously he's
privy to the information of mercury about to retrograde, venus retrograde,
and the full moon lunar eclipse. So no need to
(34:25):
rush things with all these cosmic goings on, you know,
less is more so you know, the full moon. It's
in Virgo, so that's good for self care, some healing,
some guidance, body mind, spirit, so kind of good to
tune in. But yeah, he's mulling it over. That was
his exact words.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
Yeah, yeah, Do I want to eat Perogi's in Pittsburgh?
Do I want to go eat some good Deli meat
in New York? Or do I want to go to
Minnesota and have the juicy lucy and get paid forty
million dollars a year in any of those cities? Well, Andrea,
thank you, go in service, enjoy your bath, thank you.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
All right, thank you clip all right, there she is.
She's a rockstar. Andrea the astrology lady Virgo in service,
and she's on ax.
Speaker 2 (35:13):
If you want to say he load to her. Straight ahead,
we're gonna have Mallard to the third degree. Here is
the Insta trivia. Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson and Blank were
the only players in twenty twenty four to have ten
or more interceptions and below ten touchdown passes.

big event.
Speaker 1 (37:50):

Speaker 9 (37:52):
And a recent appearance on Dan Patrick, former NFL player
turned analyst Lewis Riddick expanded on the idea that NFL
head coaches are worried that they could eventually be supplanted
by Deon Sanders if they draft Dion sun Shador. Now, Ben,
do you think that's playing a factor in Shador's draft stock.
Speaker 1 (38:09):
No, but I like it.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
I like the idea that that the father Dion's gonna
meddle when these coaches affairs, Like, really, what they're saying
is Shooter Sanders sucks and they can't win with them, right,
Whi's a tactful way of saying, well, he's not that good,
so we're gonna get fired. And then they're gonna bring
Dion in because he's a bigger name. Because if Shuoter
Sanders is good, he shouldn't need Dion Sanders to coach him.
He should be able to play for anybody. So it
(38:32):
is amusing, and you know, I'd like to see Dion
in the NFL for talk radio purposes.
Speaker 9 (38:37):
But next, Jimmy Garoppolo signed a one year deal to
stay with the Rams. Now, Jimmy g went on to
say that his decision to stay with the Rams was
more about liking the people in the organization rather than
a lack of other opportunities. Ben, do you think he
could have got a better opportunity elsewhere?
Speaker 1 (38:53):
Well, what is your definition of better? Could? Could?
Speaker 2 (38:55):
Could Jimmy Garoppolo have gone to like the Cleveland Browns
or some other team that's in a recession and gotten
an opportunity, probably some floundering team. But his only chance
of playing on a good team is if Matthew Stafford
gets hurt and then he takes over.
Speaker 1 (39:10):
That's it. So that could happen.
Speaker 2 (39:12):
Stafford gets hurt a lot, So that's his chance to
playing a good team.
Speaker 1 (39:15):
Next.
Speaker 9 (39:16):
It was announced on Wednesday the Viking safety Harrison Smith
would have returned for his fourteenth season with the team.
Ben Harrison's compiled quite the resume in his time in Minnesota.
Do you think it's enough to get in the Hall.
Speaker 1 (39:26):
No, He's only been an All Pro one time. That's it.
Speaker 2 (39:30):
That's not a Hall of Fame resume. He's played a
long time. Good for him, but not even close to
Hall of Fame status. No way, How did we.
Speaker 1 (39:39):
Do you pass? This edition?
Speaker 2 (39:41):
That is a wins We can put it on the
boards one again. Lrena, I'm the all time Wins King,
