And how did Bryce Harper's comments about the world baseball classic not being the Olympics up to that standard land with you, Harper, taking a lot of crap for that? Also, if you're a Dodger fan or you annoyed that Kike Hernandez who's not even playing in the baseball classic although he's supposed to be part of Puerto Rico's team is saying that the WBC is more meaningful than the fall classic. But does Terrick Scoobel, the ace in Motown actually want to be in Detroit or is he halfway out the door already? And are the Tigers willing to send him to the airport? We'll talk about that as well.

3:02Settle in for some hot baseball talk to lead off our number two! You didn't follow the talking points memo! Bad job by you! Welcome in! In the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mallor Show, we are in the air every where as we take a quantum leap and do a polar plunge, coast to coast, sporting the border and beyond on the vast and ear catchingly, powerful microphones of FSR emanating live from the shop, the sweatshop as we are slaving away over these hot microphones of the world famous Fox Sports Radio Studios as Jola in Dallas reminds us that this hour made possible by our friends at Tyraq

The Greater Orlando area reminds us that this hour also made possible by our friends professionals don't let employ turnover slowdown business express employment professionals finds the talent you need to keep productivity on track from the warehouse to the front office express staffs all jobs at ExpressPros.com today and check it out so our lead this hour is

5:02from baseball and I got a couple emails over the weekend and I don't hate it it's just not something I'm all Jonesed up for I did watch what a great game I watched the Mexico game on Fox Sports 1 I think it was FS1 Mexico played Brazil I believe it was 16 nothing very competitive game outstanding good competition there love athletic competition but our lead is from the world the first time the first time was a trending topic over the weekend what did he do? Did Bryce Harper end up getting hurt? did he hit three home run no he didn't did he demand a trade did he Yankees? no no he didn't do that none of the above one of the stars

6:02of USA's World Cup Harper came out and he gave a less than ringing endorsement of the World Baseball Classic. Harper had a lot to say. I think we have some audio on this. I believe let's see if we do or not. All right, here we go. Here's a Bryce Harper and his thoughts on the World Baseball Classic and comparison to that other event that happens every few years. Let's go to the audio tape. Take a listen. Obviously the WC has been great, but it's not the Olympics, right? That's no disrespect to the WC or anything, but everybody knows that when the Olympics are on, everybody's watching. No matter what sport it is, it could be the most random sport and it's got all the fans watching it. So I'm hoping, you know, like 20 it happens. There you go. All right. So again, WBC has been great. It's not the Olympics, but it's not the Olympics. So this was met with condemnation, damnation, and vilification. How dare you? How dare your Bryce Harper not go with the orthodox and say how great the World Baseball Classic is,

7:03because that's what you're supposed to do. And he didn't do it. So good job at all point. Let us discuss the question. How did Bryce Harper's comments about the WBC, the World Baseball Classic, not being the Olympics up to the standard of the Olympics land with you? So I've got five guys combo meal, cookie cutter, stucco house, and burger king. And we will combine all of these things together. And we are going to play nice in the sandbox, unless we don't. So number one, I said, number one. Yeah. All right. All right. Stop it. Please try to do a show here. So Bryce Harper says the World Baseball Classic is great, but it's not the Olympics. And as you know, from being a loyal minion in the Malar militia, whether you're sworn in or not, you know that that word, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but is doing a lot of heavy lifting. Every man, woman,

8:07and child that has paid any attention to the overnight show knows that anything before the word, but is a lie. It's a lie. It's the classic political weasel move. No disrespect, but here comes the disrespect. Now truth, Bob, truth, Bob, but, but, but, but, but, but, that is the universal lie detector word. It's like when your buddy says, you know, I'm not trying to start a fight, but, yeah, suddenly, you know, you guys are squaring up. There's chairs flying. What are you doing, dude? Harper nailed it. Like, save the foe outrage. The Olympics are the super bowl of global sports. Now, I'm not a big Olympic guy either, but I am fair enough to point out that the Olympics are, if you're into that kind of thing, the global sporting scene, that's where it's at. The WBC, it might as well be a preseason bowl game in Shreeport. Okay. And you know who secretly agrees with

9:10Bryce Harper, but we'll never admit it. We'll never admit it. Major League Baseball. The whole thing exists because Major League Baseball got kicked out of the Olympics in the first place. They were not deemed cool enough for the Olympics. Have you seen some of the Fugaisi sports in the Olympics and they kicked Baseball out? They got tossed out like a scam artist caught counting cards in Vegas. Technically not illegal, but you're not welcome here anymore. And Bud Sealick, who was the commissioner of the time and his evil henchmen, who's been proven to be a worse commissioner than Bud, Rob Manford, cooked this thing up in a panic. And look, all you need to know about how unpopular it is, the ticket prices, did you know that the USA opener, now they played a couple of games, whether this is on Friday, the buy-in price on the secondary market for the USA opener, the World Baseball Classic, it was actually cheaper to buy a ticket to the World Baseball Classic than to go to five guys and get a combo or just even a cheeseburger. That tells you

10:17everything. It also tells you the five guys is overpriced, but that's a different conversation. Like, listen, again, we'll watch, I did watch, I've been watching, I've been checking it out, you know, watching, why not. Am I excited? You know, we'll talk about it. I have a talk show to do every day, so I'll talk about it. You know, it's not kinder of stuff, though. The Olympics are like the the bacon cheeseburger would be the Olympics, very popular burger. The WBC, that would be a plant-based meat burger, no toppings on just wrapped in plain paper, wrapped in plain paper. That's it. Now page two. So on the other side of the aisle, this is not a bipartisan issue. On the other side of the aisle, we had a not a star, but a guy that's been in some big games because he happened to be riding the coattails of the team in LA, but we're talking about Kike Hernandez. So very popular with the Dodger fans. They love this guy. So he was asked about what the world baseball classic means. A Dodger utility guy, a backup on the Dodgers,

11:24Kike Hernandez, who is part of Puerto Rico's team, kind of more than that in a minute. And he opened up about the tournament, and it's important. He said, quote, I've played in five world series, and I don't know if it's because of what's across my chest, which would be Puerto Rico, but the classic feels above that Hernandez said, close quote. All right, question. If you're a Dodger's fan, are you annoyed that Kike Hernandez is saying that the world baseball classic is more meaningful than the fall classic, where the Dodgers are one of the last two world series. So I know some people out there trying to work Dodger fans into a lot of the I don't think this is much. I'm not worked up into anything here. I'm not annoyed. Not even a little bit. If you decode the messaging here, Kike Hernandez is playing to the crowd. He's playing the crowd. He knows the international audience eats this stuff up, romanticizing what is a relatively new shiny toy. The world

12:28baseball classic, it's shorter, it's louder at times, and it's certainly fresher. It's kind of like summer camp. You show up, you wave the flag, everybody's things, kumbaya, you roast some marshmallows, and then you go home. Now that said, let's not get too carried away here comparing the world baseball classic to the world series. All right, side by side have the world series on one side, you have the world baseball classic on the other. It's like comparing the ancient pyramids to a cookie cutter, stucco home at the end of a cul-de-sac. No one would say, well, that stucco home in the cul-de-sac, that's where it's at. No, one has history carved the stone literally, and the other has a very expensive HOA and some really annoying people that force you to change the outside of your house because there are a bunch of schmucks. Now, my favorite part is that Kike, who's braggadocious about how great the world baseball classic is in comparison to the world

13:33series, he's not even playing. He had snap crackle poppy, tour elbow ligaments and tendons and all that elbow got all torn up. He had surgeries out till mid season for the Dodgers. So he's sitting there watching the world baseball classic the same way that you and I would be watching. And it is also fun to point out that while Kike Hernandez has the reputation of being Mr. October, Mr. October, the modern day clutch player, this is more and more a man who shot Liberty Valance situation when the legend becomes the fact, you print the legend because the reality is that in the world series, Kike Hernandez last year batted under 200 in his career in five world series Kike Hernandez in the fall classic is a career 202 hitter. He's right at them and those aligned in the world series. Now, he has had some big hits in other rounds of the playoffs and he's even had a few in the world

14:35series. But overall, his full body of work Kike Hernandez is batting 202 in the world series. Put that in your pipe and smoke it. Now, final point, elsewhere, Psy Young winner, Terry Schooble who pitched over the weekend more on that, pushing the world baseball classic more on that in a minute. But he also revealed the ace of Motown, the ace of Motown, Terry Schooble revealed the Tigers never, ever made him a long term offer in the off season. There were stories about would there be a deal done with Schooble's sign and extension to stay in Detroit and they never made an offer. That's what he said over the weekend. And then there won't be an offer until the end of the season, the Psy Young pitcher said when he could potentially become a free agent. He said, quote, there is no offer and there won't be an offer. Schooble said until the end of the season, my focus is on playing baseball and winning this year. Schooble grumbled to gaggle of reporters there. He says, I'll deal with the

15:35contract stuff at the end of the year and then we'll kind of see. And that's fine. It's their decision. All right, question. Does Terry Schooble actually want to be in Detroit and does Detroit want him or is he halfway out the door already? Is this just a fate of complete that when we get to the mid-summer trade deadline, he's gone. All right. So spare me the violin music, right? This is Schooble not emotional, not emotional about Detroit. Now my word for this and I would say it's on both sides is indifference indifference. The tigers are owned by old family money. The pizza pizza pizza guys long gone. The family runs the tigers and that money, if they don't spend it on Schooble, they can spend it on private jets and third and fourth homes, vacation homes and things like that. And so there are in an interesting situation in Detroit because they're supposed to be one of the better teams in the American league this year, the tigers. They were in the playoffs

16:38last year. We saw what they did a year ago. So if you're in contention, you cannot trade Schooble. Then you end up like the angels with Otani, although they were not really in contention that year. They were like a faux contender and the angels had offers for Otani and didn't trade him. He wouldn't know what happened to him. I guess he signed up with the Dodgers. I don't know if they've had any success or not. I have to go check on that. But that's the problem. So if Detroit's good, you got to keep Schooble. If he's bad, you get rid of him, but the chances are pretty good that they'll be good. And I think it's indifference, right? If the tigers are the highest bitter, which it doesn't seem like they're interested in being, suddenly, then Schooble comes out. I love Motown. Oh my god. Detroit style pizza is the greatest style pizza in the world. Those county dogs to die for. The whole thing, right? Greek town. Come on. And right now though, he's at the 26 mile mark of the marathon, the 26 mile mark of the marathon, two tenths of mile left until

17:40he runs straight in to a giant pit of money. I think Fort Knox, the vaulted Fort Knox. And when he gets there, he's going Burger King, baby. Have it your way. And Schooble's ordering the Whopper with extra zeros because he's going to get a Whopper. Now believe just starting pitching wise, the Philadelphia Phillies, Zach Wheeler of all people has the highest average annual value of their contract at 42 million a year for Zach Wheeler. Oh my god. Schooble is going to get at least 45 million a year. He's looking at something like five years, 225 million. That's like the starting point for Schooble. Now as far as the I'm focusing on baseball, that is humbuggery. Yeah, just like me, I'm focusing on the talk show. If management wants to give me a new contract and pay me a lot

18:40more money and give me a helicopter, I'm good. I'm in. Okay. I can multitask. I can do the talk show and I can sign the doc you sign and get the contract. I'm good to go. I'm good to go. All right, that's it. Good to go. So I always always say, oh, I'm focused on baseball. If Detroit right now put an offer of six years, 260 million or six years, 300 million on the table, he would sign faster. Faster than a guy slapping that, you know, the buy it now button on eBay. He'd be all about it, man. He'd be all about it. All right. It is the Ben Mallor show. If you would like to be part you can join us right now. Say hello at 877 99 on Fox.

24:53Coming in at 877-99 on Fox, Bryce Harper pointing out that the ellipics are cooler than the... World Baseball Classic didn't get the talking points memo on that one. He get Hernandez did, though. And if you want to say hello on X-AT Ben Mallor, that's At Ben Mallor, Lorraine F.S.R. Tech Queen and Coupaloup at UP, Brock O'Fan, your comments can and will be used against you. And the Court of Sports Radio, so please act accordingly. Back to it. Bozo, the District Attorney, says Ben, I'm sorry to hear a last... He's sorry to hear a clown. I love Bozo. He says sorry to hear Donna Kelsey's divorced. Any chance she's still single. I'm asking for a gold digger friend of mine. It's Bozo. Oh, see if she's available. She's a lovely lady in my apologies to her truck stop fungus, writes, and he says, the Jets may as well bring in Jeff George out of retirement at this point.

25:57Yeah, we can bring in Ken O'Brien. Go back in Jets history. I don't know how far back you want to go in Jets history and see who can come out there and play. Jill, the Yankee fan in Minnesota, very upset with Bryce Harper, said terrible with Bryce Harper said embarrassing. Says our friend Jill. Not happy. Does that mean Jill that you do not want Bryce Harper on the Yankees? No, I want rumors. Bryce upset with Thumbbrowski. Philly's get off to a bad start. Although Bryce has been branded with the Philly fanatic tattoo, so I don't know how you'd go play for the Yankees. You got the Philly fanatic tattoo. A little bit out there. Neil writes in says, I like Mike Trout, but World Baseball Classic, a bit more exciting. Probably the marketing. Who's your bill writes in and says, I'm going to bust your ass. And then he says, you do nine, 15-minute segments and I hard coming out of my ears.

27:00See, this is you have a snoring guy, a blind guy. Yeah, so Bill, I'm glad that you like the show. Number one, that means a lot. That's very kind of you to listen to the entire show. Yeah, so what we do here, we do four monologues. And then that's each day and then that's time five. So that's 20 monologues a week. We then do the podcast, which is three episodes. And so usually a couple monologues in there. So then we're up to give or take 23 roughly monologues. Then we have other bits throughout the show that are worked in there throughout. And unlike Kike Hernandez and the baseball players who get three months off from work, we're here every night. Like we're not just here during football season. We're here during basketball season and baseball season and hockey season.

28:03We're everywhere. It's wild. All right, anyway, let's go back to the rules and we'll say hello to hollering James in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Hello, hollering James. Congratulations on being awake. It's a big. No, okay, so that's why you stayed awake. That's why I haven't returned. So did you see that I shut up? Did you see the end of the LA marathon? Did you see this? No, I was listening to me in baseball talk. Oh, man, I didn't watch this live. However, this is my my life. I guess the the fake the faker Rosy Ruiz, whatever name was at the Boston marathon, where she took the subway to finish the marathon.

29:03That's the greatest moment in marathon history. However, this dude from Jackson, Michigan, who sprinted at the end of the LA marathon, Nathan Martin, generic name guy, he won the LA marathon by a split second. Hell yeah. This was wild. Did it? James, this was amazing, James. James, this guy, there's a 42nd clip online. The guy from, I think it was from Kenya, who was way out in front of me. He just like, he had it in the bag. The game was over. It was his and the race was over. It was going to win it. And this guy, Martin, came from way behind. It was one of the great finishes because the guy from Kenya. I don't invent. I'm giving myself fun. He hasn't tried right now. No, near Maya. Okay. You're adding to my story. Thank you, James. You're adding, oh, I know. Just stay there. Don't hang on. But what? What? I'm trying to finish the story. This guy's a substitute teacher at a high school in Michigan.

30:04And he ends up winning. You know, I know it's not Boston or L.A. Marathon, but the Boston or New York Marathon, but the L.A. Marathon. And this guy at the very, you think you'd be so tired at the end of a marathon. And what's the line that we always hear? It's a marathon, not a sprint. With this guy, it was a marathon and a sprint. Way to go, Nathan Martin. I don't know who you are. I couldn't pick out of a lineup. And I don't know much about you. But that was awesome. What a great finish. I mean, that is amazing. That he pulled that off. James, you think you could beat him? No, I could never beat him. I'll keep trying to overweight. No, at least he's on it. Yeah, okay. Fair enough. Fair enough. You know what, though, you know what? I guess I'm going to tell you, there was a team I was there that had a wife and a shever. Who was that team that had a dog on the Yamaya? You want to do, are you doing old football trivia?

31:04Is that what you're doing? Well, football trivia. Well, that would be the Minnesota Vikings, James. No, it was not. Oh, I thought I was just winning down. I can't even sit in there. That would just go. Oh, the 49ers, he didn't play for the Vikings. Oh, okay. I got you. All right. Well, listen, anything else? Your big weekend? Did you have party in Hardy there? Did you party Hardy? No, I didn't die at home. I'm kind of like fast beat. All I had for dinner were two onus this morning for lunch. I had four onus. I didn't eat breakfast or lunch. I got to, like, get a little four onus. So I'm kind of like got a seafood diet of onus. Yeah. Okay, well, why are you trying to lose weight? What are you doing? I'm just trying to trim down a little bit. You showed candy in the furniture. Okay, I'm sure it should be out of hand. And really, what you're doing, James, the rumor on the internet is you're trying to get bikini ready, right? Summer's going to be here before you know it. You want to be bikini ready.

32:05Is that correct? I will be known as speedo. Okay, all right. Thank you. All right. I'm going to speedo. All right, go away. I'm good on that. Let's go to Bill, my lawyer, in career town. Hello, Bill. Welcome, Bill. Hey, we've had one, Bill. Well, I'm doing a show and talking and, you know, that's going on, yeah. You like to run this run and show on radio. I don't know about the all-time longest. I'm not the long-time one of the longest running shows on radio. I guess at this point, yeah. You're not even the best either. I don't know if that is a joke yet. Yeah, actually, you're the best. You're the best date. You're the best one running show on late night radio.

33:06Yeah. Yeah. What's going on? What's going on with you? What are you up to, Bill? What are you on the day-to-day? Take me into your world, Bill, in career town, here in LA. What's your day like there, Bill? What's going on with you? You know, by the grace of the guy that's in the guy that I go. But you know, that's pretty much it. It's not really an issue, I mean, you're not working anywhere, right? You're not doing that. You're not working, right? I get a gamble. That's not work, though. I think we all gamble, though. Life's a gamble. We're all gambling. I mean, such bad football games, you know. And anyway, the Lakers won earlier today. So come on, man, we're going to get credit for the Lakers.

34:08Well, I didn't. Hey, I didn't watch the game and be its regular season NBA. Who cares? Okay, yeah. All right, but I left you. You were literally thunder struck there. You had nothing to say. Would you, would you guys like some fun facts? Yeah, what's the I'm just reburning your content. Okay, who's your, who's your bill says there are zero attorneys in career time? There you go. It's all nuts and then he says some derogatory things. But yeah, that's it. So the longest running show on radio is the Grand Ole Opry, which has been airing continuously since 1925. 1925. Yes. And the longest running overnight show on.

35:08Coast to coast. Yes, yeah, coast to coast. But that's had a couple of different hosts. George Noor has been there since early 2000. He wasn't there. He did the weekends, I think, Noor. Because when I started it here at Fox and part of the premier networks, we had big Christmas parties. And Art Bell was still working there. And they brought Art out to the king of overnight radio. And Art showed up to those things a couple of times. So when he took over, it's been a minute or two. All right, tremendous calls. My God, what an amazing segment of radio. And it gets even better. Jed, who fled? Hello, Jed, who fled? Welcome. Ben, you ever watch the Indiana Jones? And you know, sometimes in life, the trail in front of you is clear, it's laid out. And sometimes in life, you have to jump out onto the open space and nowhere to land and able to survive. That's how tough it is to follow those colors that just were on the air, Ben. I don't even, I need a cheat code.

36:08How do I come up to that level of quality? Undertaker? Undertaker? I wonder where he got his name. But I'm seeing here my part color. I tried to drive into a concrete embankment. I don't live in a city. I hear undertakers are well-deserved names. Does that guy just now? I, man, it makes me wonder about the level of my in mental capability. Because everybody, you know, it's like these colors, all this color. And I'm like, let me set the tone here with this. And tell us just close it above 100. And then I might be, I might be forced to open it, man. I don't know. Stupid is. That's stupid does. That's kind of life. Eat those. I'll, but that's why I want to take a break. Because then I might have to reflect on a little bit leaving his oranges in the plug with the beastie boys. Another dimension, another dimension. Just because their oranges doesn't mean they can't count as breakfast, lunch, or dinner, okay? If you eat them, they're food. They're food. It's a fair, it's a fair point. That's a fair point. Yeah. But just think, in James's head, he's out there tearing up the dance floor because he's only eating a couple of oranges.

37:09So in his head, he's beating the system. I don't know what to say. I was like, do you think that the claiming, claiming up there in the northwest, you think that she like coloring game or snoring game? Because I'm 50, 50. I'm saying if I've been to the bar a little bit, I got a little, you know, a little, little, little, little Randy. I mean, I'm like, I'm like, when, when, when hollering James's awake, he's very much like many other people. When he's sleeping, that's where he really bends time. When he's... If you're all you're trying to present yourself as credible, would you ever put your office in career town? Yeah, I don't know that people got the joke on that. Bill's been to jail many times. My man, Bill, in career town. And I used to live in Venice. It was Bill in Venice. Yeah, I was like, that's a joke, Ben. Because he's like, hey, let off with like, oh, Ben, you're stuck so bad. Well, that's obviously a lie. It's been probably for Nokia's son. And he's like, no, no, you're, you're the best.

38:10I don't want to do it in the crew, actually. And he took me, I didn't do that. But you're not the best, Ben. You are better. Is he using wiggle or weasel words or weasel words? You are better. The lesser belief than George Norris. How many times you see a conservative person that believes in the coast to coast material? I think you know that entire show's fake, Ben. At least you're real. That is kind of shows the information. All right, well, that's it. You've never allowed him enough for us. Alien? Alien? Yeah, they weren't there. In front of home, they thought, oh, they're not real. One of them, I saw that I was going. Yeah, all right, go away. There you go. Douglas in Mississippi right since it chaps my backside that people can't even have an opinion anymore because it doesn't fit the narrative of others. Well, that's the way of the world. Well, I don't have the way that people have varying opinions. And then again, the online stuff's all most of it's fake anyway. It's contrived manipulation. And that's how that works. So how about Dak Prescott all over the tabloids here? Dak was supposed to get married next month. No big celebrity break up tabloids having a field day with this is fiance Sarah Jane Ramos

39:15and Dak Prescott say X-Nay on the wedding day. And they broke it off. And there's all kinds of tabloid fodder here. They had this. This was a dead giveaway. There was something not right there. Joint bachelor and bachelor at parties in the Bahamas. And then right after that, what do what happened? What do you think took place at the joint bachelor and bachelor at party in the Bahamas? We don't know yet. I'm guessing that will come out in the coming days. At the the big call off at the last minute Dak Prescott. His woman, he's got two kids with his woman. So he's going to be cutting her checks for a long time but she shared a cryptic Instagram post. And just a couple days before calling off the wedding talking about how they were like, yeah, you know, as long as I have my friends, that's all I need and all that. So you think, Dak did something or you think she did something or boat? Maybe they both did something. Who knows?

40:16I have no idea. And I'm looking forward to seeing it when it hits the tabloids in the in the coming days. We'll see what that's all about. I'm sure it'll be all over that. And I'm going to go that I think she probably did something because Dak's the meal ticket. All right. Dak's got all the money and all that. So you want to I would think you would want to stay with Dak as long as you could to get that money. And so maybe she had done something but who knows? We'll see in the in the days to come out.

Time now for the instant trivia. A classic instant trivia question way back in 1993 with the then expansion Florida, Marlins blank at the very first home run in franchise history. That is the instant trivia. What is the answer? By the way, radio legend, the Prince of Darkness, Lee Klein got it right. Bad job by him, obviously cheating. Who else do we have? Alf, the alien partner I went with, Moxie. Moxie Mallor's, what mansion? Where dogs chill while their humans work. That's about right. Eek and Roseville, Minnesota got a right bad job by him. Sean Connery from Femi.

46:27The top Uber each driver in Minnesota. Lonzo Morning from Shane and Des Moines. Marlins man from Mallor prop guy. Who else do we have? Bob Sagitt from Rob, the goat man. Sting from King Rory. Chevy Chase, guess by courtesy flusher. That's his answer. Shooty Babbit from Eileen in San Francisco. There's a classic name from baseball past. Lester U-Banks from Analog Owl, Elroy Jetson. From Far Out Dave, a legend. Phil Fish, guess by Donkey Sausage. Todd Van Poppel from mediocre Kabuki. Rebecca, the Ram fan going with Florida Marlin Crash Davis. The crime dog Fred McGriff from Johnny Q. Craig Council, guess by JT of the Wing Man. That's a pretty good name. Who else do we have, Page Dan? Guerrilla Monsoun from Doctane in Minnesota. And see what else do we have, Page Dan? All right, do you have an answer?

47:30Lorraine Nah. It's gotta be Buttercup Dickerson. Buttercup Dickerson. No. Now, Fred Gawks says George Hudson, you can thank him for losing an hour. And I don't want to thank him. I'd like to punch him. I love to think he died a long time ago. The correct answer. The first Marlin to hit a home run. Banito Santiago. Bydrain Legit, the need of San Diego. Put 20 years in the big leagues. Hit a home run at Candlestick Park. Back in 93, first Marlin home run. First hit by a Marlin, the great Brent Barbary. There you go, here we go, here we go, here we go. It's Mallor. How about that? To the third degree. Are you in? This is one big bet gets grail. All right, cool blue. About a couple days ago, President Trump held a saving college sports round table at the White House. Yes. And he said that he was gonna write an executive order within a week that will, quote, solve all of the problems brought forth at that meeting.

48:30It's gonna save college sports. Ben, do you think, what do you think is gonna come with this? Anything? Nothing. It's not gonna fix college sports because there'll be a bunch of lawsuits and they'll take it all the way to the Supreme Court. There's a lot of people making a lot of money off college athletes because they have NIL deals. So it's gonna take the Supreme Court to do something. Those, those presidential things are nice, but it's not gonna solve the problem. Next, Nicola Yokic was asked about potentially playing for another team in an interview over the weekend. He said, I wouldn't like to imagine that. And he went on to say that he found his life here. His kids were born here and so on and so forth. Do you think he's the type of guy that's gonna stick with one team in his whole career? Uh, well, I'm surprised. I would be surprised to be as a long career career. He seems like the kind of guy. He doesn't seem to really enjoy playing in the NBA. He'd rather be sitting back home with his horses and all that and he puts it around at the barn and all that. But, you know, you get me playing long enough and you're gonna eventually play on another team. There's very few people to stay on one team. So chances are he'll go somewhere else. Next, Ben, the coach traded Zaire Franklin to the Green Bay Packers. He's only a couple years removed from an all-pro season.

49:33You think this is a big move for the Packers? I wouldn't say it's a big move. It's a name we've heard of, which is rare on diva. How do we do, Kubolo? You passed us an issue. That is it, we put it out of the barn. I want the game. Woohoo! No one knows what the future holds, but you deserve a weather app that can help.
