Nothing is more important than getting a good night's sleep, and when you don't get the rest you need, your whole day is thrown off. That's why it's so important to choose the right mattress. Sleeping on a purple mattress is truly a unique experience, because purple mattresses are made with a gel flex grid. The gel flex grid is an innovative material that moves with your body to relieve pressure in areas like knees and hips, and support in others like you're back. It feels soft where you want it and supports where you need it. Purple mattresses instantly adapt when you move. You don't sink in and get stuck like with memory foam, and thanks to over 1,400 air chambers in the gel flex grid, you will sleep cooler on a purple mattress. Purple has a wide variety of mattresses from the original purple mattress to the Restore Hybrid Collection that combines gel flex grid with coils and the Rejuvenate Lux Collection, the height of luxury, with over 112,000 five-star reviews to prove it.

This podcast on 97.3 The Fan is presented by Hamel Casino, fun of all else. All right, we are halfway home. Ben and Woods, 97.3 The Fan. Going to be joined by our pal Jordan Schusterman from Sespa, this family barbecue. I got to ask them about this situation, this catcher, just the craziest thing. Derek Bender, that's his name. Jordan and Jake, they specialize in goofy, odd stories in baseball. It doesn't get much goofy or odd than a minor league content from them over the years. I got to wonder if they've ever seen anything like this because that story, we talked about it and don't do this. It's unbelievable. It's truly, truly incredible. Just go home then. Derek Bender, tipping pitches for the opposing team, letting everyone know what was coming and where it was going to be and ruining his own team's chances at a playoff appearance. So we'll get to Jordan right after this quick check of traffic. No, we're going to go traffic. All right, we'll go to him right now. How about that? No traffic, right, Paul? Correct. Jordan, good morning. Sorry, Ben's out. Hey, guys. I had a little, I had a little wine last night. Sorry. Oh, you're fine. Like literally just to see both. Just a little wine, like a half a glass. More than I had. And it's, it's affecting me tremendously. I got to ask you about this story. I can't wrap my head around it. Derek Bender, we just talked about it. Do you know Derek at all? Do you know of him? Like, what's your history? We do actually. So we just talked about it on our show. We recorded this morning. I don't want to pretend like, you know, Derek Superwell, but someone we met familiar with. Obviously, we cover, as you mentioned, Paul, we cover the college game very closely. Yeah. And I covered the draft very closely. And so we met Derek at the LB Combine, actually, when we, we covered earlier this year. And the draft combine back before. And you know, he was again, pretty standard catching prospect. Sixth round pick. We coming into the year actually was expected to be an even possibly like a top three round guy had kind of an up and down season at Coastal. But Derek is a is a goofy gentleman. I will say that. We had a good time talking to him. But I think what this is, I want to kind of zoom out farther than him in particular, because I do think that part of the conversation here is, right, the premise, the story that is being told, right? And perhaps there was still, there is still another side to the story that we will find out. Perhaps we will see at some point that there is some sort of misunderstanding whatever, although based on the reporting, it's, you know, he's already been released. And so it seems that the conclusion was, was arrived at very, very confidently, right? So if we go by the story that is being told, the premise here is that he did not want to be playing anymore, right? He, he wanted the season to be over. And so he was it by doing this, trying to have his team lose, right? That's the very basic premise of it. Yep, speed it up, right? Yeah, we're done. Yep. Now, I think you guys know this, you guys have talked about to baseball players for a long time, right? The basic premise of players wanting a season to be over at this stage, particularly minor players, that by itself, especially in the minor leagues, right, is not completely unheard of. Okay, so let's just let's establish that, right? However, of the hundreds of players that, you know, over the years, thousands of infinite of players that have, as the dog days wind down as the season, and it's like, oh, it's been a long season, playing it in all these mildly parts. None of them have done this, or at least not to this degree that we immediately find out about it, right? Correct. And so that is why we end up at a all, on, on an all time poor choice of, of, of decision making, and ultimately throwing your teammates under the box by, by having, costing them a chance to compete in a genuine way. Because let's be honest, and I made this point in the podcast this morning, if you want to go up there and swing at every pitch, because you want, you can do that, and no one's going to say a word. Not a word. Right. I'm sure that's happened. You can take everything. Oh, it's, I was looking fastball, man, he threw a curveball. Sorry. Nothing I can do. Nothing I can do. There's ways, if there's ways to move the game along, right? That's fine. Not, not that I'm saying that's what it, but like that, I guess my point is the notion that someone wants to be over is not impossible to fathom. Yeah, what is impossible to fathom is this is is the way you go to about doing it. Yeah, I saw a guy that is what is so disappointing. And I saw a guy tweet, it says a lot of dudes who've never been in a dugout casting stones. I would tell you after 150 plus games, 90 percent of the guys on that diamond wanted to go the hell home. This dude played 19 games. 19 games is what he played. He wasn't out there for 150 squatting behind the dish. So this, if this is the premise, it makes zero sense. And I literally, I said, I try to put myself in the position of this young man or like the position of his father. And if I was his father, the first thing I would say is, son, are you okay? Honestly? Are you okay? Because if you don't want to play, that's fine. You don't have to. That's fine. Yeah. Absolutely. Right. Fine. To that point, but from the twins perspective, which is why they released him, that's not a mindset, let alone a choice of judgment that you would want to have in your organization. That's why you end up. Right. Again, fascinating story, fascinating story, just incredible. And obviously more will come out and just, look, again, as a human being, I feel for somebody that would look at that situation and say, yeah, this is what I'll do. And you know, it's bad when the other team's like, bro, this guy is literally telling us what pitches are coming in location. I mean, for nothing in the first inning or whatever. And that poor pitcher that's out there grinding for a gig too. Just again, one of those stories we will all continue to be fascinated by and watch talking to Jordan Schuster from incest with his family, barbecue. How are you doing, buddy? We split, you know, pot raise, Mariner split. I'm telling you, I know, I know everyone hates on your offense, but I look at your lineup and I go, they scare me. I mean, there's guys in there that are scary. Is it like the pottery syndrome of last year where you're like, no, no, they'll get hot. They'll get hot. At this point, no, but then to your point, the names in the lineup definitely are better than the numbers at this point. But this one is just too late. And their loss last night was more indicative of some of the issues they've had recently. Some pretty astounding stats we've talked about the lack of, you know, the elite starting pitching combined with an inability to either support that pitching or have the bullpen able to kind of slam the door behind it. Just an incredible statistic from Ryan Dibish, who now the Mariners, unsurprisingly, you know, leave the league in quality starts, right? I mean, this is what this is what they're built on is and they had Bryce Miller was awesome. You saw what Brian will be able to do my god. He's incredible, man. And he's right. He's outstanding. The Mariners 87 quality starts the season by far the most. And they're 57 and 30 in those games. By contrast, the Phillies were second most with 74. They're 60 and 14. So the Mariners have found a way to lose 30 games that they, you know, got quality starts from their starters. And some of that has been because they can't score. And some of that has been because the bullpen, which has has just been thinned out by injuries. I mean, coming into this season and so much of their success last year was having a matte brash. They trade for Gregory Santos. They trade for Yemi Garcia, you know, in the middle of the season and they've gotten next to nothing out of those guys. Brash has been out the whole year. Santos has barely pitched, Garcia pitched a few times and then is now out for the year. So the bullpen, while they have had some, some standout performances as they've kind of created in their quote unquote pitching lab, it's just not enough. And with the offense that they have, it's just it's not a complete team. And that is why they're in the position they're in. Talking to Jordan Schuster, Mississippi's family barbecue. We do it every Friday, brought to you by our friends at grand old barbecue. So Jordan, somebody had called in earlier and asked us to kind of look at where we are as pottery fans. And you know, you look at the contenders in the NL and the NL wild card and Mets and Braves are kind of the ones we're looking at. Pottery's and Diamondbacks at the top there. Pottery's trailing by half game in the wild card. Mets and Braves are the ones that are are making some noise. I mean, Braves are five and five in the last 10. The Mets are red hot, eight and two, but they got the Phillies. The Braves got the Dodgers. Listen, I mean, the pottery's have the Giants who have been a bit of a pain for us this year. Then we've got the Astros. Then we got the White Sox mercifully, but those games are going to be excruciating to watch because you need to win all three of those. I mean, it's it's coming down to the wire. What is your kind of outsider's perspective on who who's going to be left out of the dance? Yeah, I think this week was the first time that the Mets playoff odds surpassed Atlanta's and a lot of it was, you know, looking at some of their schedules and saying that they looked like the Mets was tougher. And a lot of that is because they do have seven more games against the Phillies. We're so exciting about where we're at now. And I know it's it's maybe not as many races as we were hoping for, but we maybe saw it up with the a, at least some other division races we'll see. But, you know, you have this series, you know, between the Mets and the Braves, where not only will the standings alone maybe be determined by that, but they also the tiebreaker, right? We don't have game 163 anymore. And those teams are five and five against each other so far this year. So those three games are really setting up to be special. And I think with the way both these teams have been playing it, it should remain close enough to give us that. I mean, the Mets have gotten enough pitching recently that that has really allowed them winning, you know, 15 of their last 20. Their offense has really more recently just been about Lindor. And Jesse Winker has been a lot better recently. But some of their other veterans have not been swinging it over the last couple of weeks that Nimos and J.D. Martinez Pete's been okay. So there's maybe more upside with that offense. I think the offense is what carried them for a lot of the beginning of the season. And now the pitching is finally stepping up. Whereas Atlanta, I mean, we know they're just scrapping it together on offense. And they're just hoping to get it. And because I still believe they have one of the best pitching staffs in baseball. So they are they will scare you if they can can ultimately get in. But it's it's going to be dicey because their ability to score runs is still not not awesome right now. And obviously injuries have played a huge role in that. It is so dicey watching. And again, the schedules are going to be a big part of this. And you know, the Dodgers, they want to win those games too, because they're they're scrapping it out for best record. And I mean, it's just it it, you know, we're pretty NL focused here, obviously in San Diego, Jordan. And I and I watched this and I go, man, it really I can't remember in it, probably recency buys, but I'm looking at this going, I don't remember at time. It was this exciting, mostly because our team is in it. And, you know, kind of poised to make some noise in the postseason that if we can get there, and I think there's still pottery, there's a lot of pottery fans still like that poised to make some noise, put that on a shirt that's trademark Ben and Woods copyright. And I will do the you guys make money shirts. Yeah, what's what's what's the way we haven't made one in a while, actually poised to make some noise. You know what our problem is, Jordan, is we feel like when we make a shirt, everything will go south and then we'll be the new got the that's what's in guys. Oh, you so we don't want that's what's in. Yeah, we don't want that moniker. So we we are very hesitant to to put it all out there. You know, I mean, I think you could really back. I don't know if you fully understand, Jordan, it's been two years now, almost those guys, it never be able to show their face and say it never leaves that that's what that I think I think we extend the olive branch when the Padres make the world series. Yeah, Bartman, come back, throw out a first pitch or something. So they were so when they made the video two years ago, the one of our stations down the hall had them in and we we hung like newspapers on our glass so they wouldn't look into our studio because if we shot the door, we shut the door to sign on the said gone fishing. Yeah, gone fishing. And we we kept them out of the studio. We needed was one of them to come. Hey, you guys want to talk to the that's what's in guys? Absolutely. Because we were we were living that they made that video and we're begging our fan base to not make any rafts or any videos or anything to make any big noise. You just want kind of want to be quiet and be under the under the radar. That's fair. But also, like, it is interesting if we dig into that the the notion of toys to make some noise, we're going to run with this for a second. It is when it's like, oh, they could make sense like now, I don't know, like the Padres have put themselves in a position where people like, I'm not saying they're a favorite, but it's like they've built this team where now it's like, no, you should. It's like, oh, they could make some looks like, no, no, you're really good. They should be disappointing if you don't make some noise. I know. It's weird how perspective that's the boys means. Yeah. But I think their expectations should should be there. I think this is especially now with Tatis back. Yeah. Now we're looking at, we're really looking at an impressive group. I'm excited. So I ended up but again, Arizona, a lot of the reasons to be excited about Arizona as well. Maybe not quite as much on the mound, but their offense is legit, right? As far as it's been doing Carroll, certainly have been playing much better. They're getting healthier. So both of those teams. And yeah, that would be a really interesting, you know, I don't, I'm curious, would you guys like, I don't really know what the Padres DBAC's rivalry is, like what the status of that is, it's not much seem particularly strong. However, this could be an opportunity to kind of spice that up if they do end up playing in that first round. I mean, they're, they're a pretty terrifying team. The Mets are pretty terrifying, and they played the Padres tough this year. So it's coming down to the wire, man. We certainly appreciate your time either with us. We leave. No, just how was, how was Jake's wedding? He joined us on Friday and busted out the saxophone on the air with us. Did he crush it? Yeah. Wait, he did that on Friday. He did it on Friday. Yeah. He was sitting outside in his backyard or somewhere where they were at and pulled out a saxophone and started playing. Well, the saxophone was a big part of the wedding. He had been secretly learning it for months to surprise his now bride. And it was incredible. It was very, very funny. Well, it was a great weekend. It was a fantastic time. We get a little behind the scenes on the on the pod we recorded this morning. So if you want more wedding chat, you can definitely get that. But yes, obviously, congrats to Jake. And tomorrow was a, it was a lovely time. I was very, very excited to be there. No, no, me at that wedding, right? No, no, no, we talked about that. All right. Well, we played it pretty straight. Plenty of meat here on Bed & Woods this morning, Jordan. Thank you so much for your time, buddy. We will talk to you guys next week, man. Keep up the great work. Always a pleasure.

He heard call in and he did it. And that SOB called in and he won. Yeah. Congratulations. He he goes, who am I going to see again? Paulie said Parker McCallum. Cool. So this Parker McCallum. Enjoy. Enjoy. I listened to put on the other day. I've been really trying. There are all these names that pop up. It's been a woods 97 through the fan. There's names that pop up every day on social media and I go, who's that? What do they do? Like I saw some of the name Tate McCrae, who's very attractive young Paulie's wife, Megan's in here. She's very attractive. She's a pop singer, I believe. So I listened to some of that and it's not my jam. So I went and everyone's talking about jelly roll. So I went and listened to some jelly roll. I want to be informed. And so I went and listened to some jelly rolls the other day. And I can't get over the name. Jelly roll. It's jar. And then you see him and you're like, oh, that's a pretty good name, actually. You look like a jelly roll. And he seems like a pretty good dude. And I listened to his music and I thought, all right, I can console. Got a little yeah, got a little something to it. But it every day somebody comes out and I go, man, it's official. Like I'm I'm aging out. I'm aging out of everything. It was the funniest thing. Tyler wants to my take on, well, how do you say her name? Chappell Rhone? Chappell Rhone. So I saw all of this big to do when she played, I believe it was Glaston, Glastonbury somewhere in England, a huge festival. And there were hundreds of thousands of people. What's the one in Chicago? Oh, that was a ball of blues. Yeah, that maybe that was it. That's hundreds of thousands of people came to see Chappell Rhone. And I listened to it and I go, yeah, I like it. I like it. It's it's again, I'm 49 year old man. It's not really made for me. But I didn't listen to it go good law. It's not like I when it first when I heard like Florida, Georgia line or something, I was like, all right, get me out of here. I went, okay, I get it. And I get why young women would like Chappell Rhone 100%. Yeah, I mean, that's not if I'm listening to this, you're actually probably creeped out concerned. Hell yeah, Chappell Rhone, right. So I'd be very concerned. I, but I, I, hey, you heard the new Chappell Rhone single. What? Yeah, you guys dig on Chappell Rhone. It's it's weird for a 49 year old man, I think to be into it. But I am aging out. And it sucks because I, I like to, you know, try to stay on top of things. But I got the funniest DM yesterday from a kid. And I say kid, I don't know how he's he's old enough to drive. I know that because he's on a road trip right now. Hey, he dms me a screenshot of don't look back in anger from Oasis. And he goes, well, excuse me, Oasis, I was not familiar with your game. And I go, what? You've never heard, don't look back in anger. Oh, he was in fact a kid. Yeah, he was a kid. Because he was Evan. And he goes, Oh, hey, so I owe you an apology. I was not familiar with your game. And he gives you one of the biggest, one of the biggest anthems of all time. And I, so then I, I go nuts. And I'm like, wow, dude, we'll check out this song and this song and this song. And he said, I got another 10 hours of driving. I'll be making my way through the discography. And I said, all right, good for it. Like he, he's doing what I, what I don't do, is I if somebody new comes out, my automatic reactions. Oh, this sucks. It's auto. It's auto. Oh, what's he checking this band? That's terrible. And I hate that about myself. So I'm really trying to be more open-minded. I'm listening to Jelly Roll. And I'm listening to Chapel Rone and Tate McCrae. I didn't, I just enjoyed her video, her video is mostly hair. Like she's a lot. It's a lot of hair. She does some hair stuff. Yeah. And she's a great dancer. She's very, very attractive. The microphone stays relatively far away from her mouth while she's performing. So great dancer. Yeah. But I just, I just don't know. I can't keep up. I can't keep up. I'm having a hard time keeping up with all of the up-and-coming trends. And I think that's just part of getting older, you know, and that's why I tend to go back to the nostalgia of the 90s in the 2000s. There's another chick out there that Megan loves to listen to Sabrina Carpenter. Sabrina Carpenter. I listened to a little bit. I've heard of. I've never heard of it. She's like, kind of like a Casey Musgraves sort of pop star. And Megan goes, hey, you know, I'm trying to find tickets to, she's playing sports arena, Pichanga Arena in November. She goes, yeah, me and Vivian would love to go to that. And I go, okay, let me look, brother, we're talking like $600 ticket in the door, to get in the door. And then I went and looked like 200 million monthly listeners on Spotify. I go, I didn't know this person existed a week ago. And it's like $750 for like the back row. That's just a man like, Oh my God. That's bananas. Is this what concerts are nowadays? I think so. Well, I mean, look, I paid 200 pounds to go see the biggest show on in England with that. Yeah, everyone, Tony says, Oasis sounds like lounge music in eight 1986. I mean, yeah, it's not it's not for everybody, but it's for about 15 million Brits and Irishman and Welshman like Welsh fryer. I'm really excited about that. But I didn't think it was funny. He's like, Oh man, I, I've never heard, don't look back at anger before. And it's really good. Like, this is crazy. Getting old is certainly a treat. We got the skipper Mike Schilt coming up at nine am Paul, he's got a rindle report for us next. And Paul, he got a story in here that I don't know that I fully agree with. And I know one person that definitely disagrees. And that's Mrs. Woods. I can promise you that.

So many layers to this story over the last couple of days. I mean, where to begin? I guess we can start with his latest endorsement offer and adult website. And adult website wants a little bit more of Shannon Sharp. They have made him an offer if he would like to join their team as an actor and as an actor, you know, you got to do some videos to high profile, man. Hundred thousand dollars on the table for nothing, dude. I think he makes more than that. Oh, he absolutely makes more than that. And you know, he would lose all of the other months. It's not like they say, Yeah, go ahead for an extra one. Go ahead and do it. Yeah, no problem. I mean, I I go to Adam and I say, Hey, I want to be an adult film star. We'll go ahead, Woodsy, but you can't work at 97 through the fan anymore. Like, you know, I think I'd have to probably run it by Hannah first, but yeah, I mean, you can't do it, but it's they always do this. Just say you would talk to Adam before you talk to your, yeah, ask Adam first and then talk to him and say, I have to, uh, I want to do this. Uh, I think the these those companies do that all the time is smart. It's promotion. So yeah, yeah, it gets people, uh, in San Diego talking about him on the radio, Adam said nice. I saw Paul Pierce was very upset with the reaction from everybody to Shannon Sharpe, because one was sharp is employed by ESPN now. Yeah, Paul Pierce was employed by ESPN. It's different. Paul Pierce went live on Instagram a little bit different. He was playing cards, uh, had a bunch of people over having a big party and he went live and had like girls and thongs, like twerking on him behind him. He knew what he was smoking a cigar. I think it was a joy, what life live, wasn't it a joy? Was it a way that he spoke and we might have been to join like drinking out of the bottle. Like it was like, Oh, so Shannon Sharpe goes live and nobody has nobody bats an eye. He's going on the air again on Monday, but I go on Instagram live and I need to like, bro, you meant to this was an accident. Shannon throwing his phone. Just throw, he said, I just threw my phone on my bed and it, you know, something happened. Oh, man. All right, we'll move on in Major League Baseball. Now I, I did not see this. You sent this over about five minutes ago and I'm reading through it right now, but I almost did it and don't do this. Yes. And then it was at the end when I saw it. So I didn't. This is nuts. Major League Baseball has made an agreement with Strauss Strauss and German apparel company Strauss. And they will have their name and logo on batting helmets that it can't. This has got to be a fake post season batting helmets through the 2027 season. The ads will be five by .92 inches and will be located on both sides of every helmet. I'm okay. Maybe I'm ignorant. I have no, I've never heard of Strauss. I don't know. What do they make? They are they involved in baseball in any way. Levi Strauss. Oh, baby. I don't know. They dropped Dunder. It's just, it's just Mifflin. Strauss, S-T-R-A-U-S-S. And it, I, the mockups that they showed online was like a, they use these like little kid batting helmets. They put Strauss on the side. It's not what big league helmets look like, but it isn't up there on the chat. Big white Strauss on the side. Looks very odd. I guess. No big leaguers wear those helmets by the way. Not one. Right. I mean, Major League Baseball is not going to turn away opportunities to make a lot of money. No. And you see it in other sports. You've seen, you see Jersey patches and stuff all the time. It's somebody said fake. Is it fake? I don't know. The AP reported. Everybody's reporting on it. Yeah, the league announced it today, this morning. So I don't think it's fake. The league did. It looks, if it looks like that, it looks. Advertising will be featured on MLB helmets during the beginning with the 2024 postseason, the league announced on Friday. I'm all for making money. MLB has reached a multi-year deal, place the name and logo on their helmets in the high season. High performing workwear. Strauss, right. Breathable waterproof and windproof, making them perfect for navigating tough weather conditions. How does this make you feel? I don't get typically in the weeds on stuff like this. I just don't. I never got in the weeds on uniform talk. You know, I think the Padres uniforms now are way better than they were. But at the time, I was like, I don't care. I want a winning product. Well, a lot of people said to me and they were right. What's he why not both? And I said, and I got, you know what? You're right. It doesn't have to be one or the other. You can have both and they've done a great job at it. Period the end. It's phenomenal now. But I look at this and I go, that doesn't look right. It doesn't feel right. I'm all, you know, throwing the Motorola patch on. No problem. None. I have zero problem with it. Some uniforms are a little gaudier than others. Some of them don't look great. I think the Motorola patch looks fine. I have no problem with it. I never, I never did see a lot of NBA teams with their own sponsors on their jerseys. But yeah, Jersey's one thing helmet. It's gonna look weird. It's gonna take a lot of getting used. It really will. And I've again, I think it's also Jari. If it was like Pepsi or something, I know I've heard of that. I don't know what this is and I don't know how it really relates to baseball in any way shape or form. But yeah, it's it's they announced it teams up with MLB as official work where partner and they are going to be putting those on the postseason helmets this year. And I think it's going to look look a little bit odd. Yeah. I mean, you know, when they play in like the Dominican League and Winter Ball and the Mexican teams, they, that's what their helmets look like. And you just get used to it. Yeah. And like, I played with, I've played with plenty guys that played down in TJ and the Mexican League. When they show up to play on our teams, they have those pants and they've got like all the logos on their pants. And it looks completely different. And you get used to it in about five minutes. So I'm guessing it's going to be one of those things in a few years. We won't even remember. You won't even care and you won't remember. And again, you know, I think it's I think it's good when your when your team can make some money. I think it's a good thing. I'm not going to, you know, crap on a team for trying to make some cash. Sure. All right. And then finally, proves in the old, the old prep service this morning looking for a third Rinder report story. And I landed on this a new poll from a zip health found that the average American says, relations relations. That's good. Last should last a total of 35 minutes. Oh, he's always wives. This is Randall. She's waiting. And so we know how she feels. She says no. So the 35 minutes 35 minutes. And that includes 15 minutes of foreplay. We do 15 minutes. Exactly. Every single day. 15 leaving 20 minutes left. And that means of that 20 15 is, you know, the deed and five minutes of cuddling. 35 minutes per attempt per session per round. Yeah, per session. What am I sting? What do we do? It's a lot of time practicing Tantra. 35 minutes. First of all, 15 minutes of foreplay. I'm not in seventh grade. You know what I mean? I couldn't. I couldn't. I'm not. I don't have it in me to do 15 minutes of the kissing and fondling. Whatever. That is Chris in the chat. Sounds right. 35 minutes. So that means eight o'clock. Congratulations to Chris. 8 p.m. You start 8 p.m. You start and you're 8 35. You're like, all right. Cuddle time's over. Huh? I'd be surprised. The numbers stood out. That seems like it's very high amount of time. I'm going to go two minutes of foreplay seven minutes of the other and then when now there are some big cuddlers. So like eight to 11 minutes eight to a total all in eight to 11 minutes. And everybody leaves feeling pretty good. I think. Exactly. And I just think I've been married for 22 years. That happens for zero minutes. Nobody has time for the lead in, I think. 20 minutes match. 34 minutes too long. Maybe if we just go ratio wise, they're saying the same amount of foreplay to actual right ish. Yeah. One to one. So. Roly says, I just need a commercial break. Let's go. That's it. We'll see the team move of relations. I don't know what that means. What's team? Team who is like a really. It's like an Amazon type marketplace online, but not as good. I mean, I could probably. The thing is you also need a willing participant that wants to invest that much time. A lot of time. My wife. Hopefully she's not listening. If she is. This is. I don't get up. I don't get 35 minutes a month total. Do you know how much a woman can get done in 35 minutes? You know, much a man. You know, much a man can get done. Quite a bit. Not well. No. It's an interesting. It's a long time. I'm going to. People polled say that's how long it should. Not how long it does last. We're going on vacation. How long it should stay in a hotel. You guys all know about hotel, Anna. Got the mother-in-law with us. So maybe the kids can stay at night, you know, with them. And I'll test it out. I'll see if I can go the exact. But you get 15, 15, 15, 5. You also need a willing participant. 15 minutes is a long, long time. Yeah. We've got an hour and 10 minutes left. So we could go actually like twice in that whole time. So thank you, Paulie, for that birthday edition of The Rinder Report. We got the the skipper. Mike Schilt coming up next going to probably do play some things that Ben likes because he's out of town. Should we revisit what we did to Ben earlier? For those of you that may have missed it. The prank. I think we can do that. Okay. We have that clip. I do have the clip. This was nine o'clock yesterday. We were talking about Benny. And I said, yep, that's happening. So I just texted Benny, Benny, just remember we love you. He has not responded yet. So he's probably on his way up to LA right now. So you guys will have to tune in tomorrow at 6 a.m. where we will get to the bottom of what, uh, oh, what we did pun intended for now. Let's move on to get in trouble. I know reports. Yeah. It all ties in, you know, it all ties in. We'd like to bring it back and put a bow on it. But we decided to do a little prank on our beloved Benjamin. Um, and we found out where he was staying and we sent him an apparatus of sorts. Um, for his solo time in the hotel and we we sent that over and it was delivered to us to discrete packaging, discrete packaging. And they actually put it in his room. Yeah, just sitting there on the desk, the dressed and then Higgins. And he said, it was very heavy. He said it actually felt like dumbbells and he picked it up and he opened it and he said, Oh my God. And he texted us a picture of it, which we cannot post and said, was this you two clowns? And we said, yes, enjoy, have fun tonight. And then we talked to him this morning and called him. And yeah, if you missed it, Christmas is she has to go back for this. Um, it did get delivered. He didn't open it. Yeah, we asked him if he attempted to, you know, try that gentleman. It does not kiss and tell and I asked him and I what I had not realized at the time was, uh, an offshoot of the prank was that was the prank. And I was like, I'm happy to have it delivered him open and go, Oh my gosh. And then send us a picture and be like you a holes, whatever. But then I didn't think, well, he's going to be there for Friday night, Saturday, two nights. And he was there last night. So three total nights. What did he do with it this morning when he went to play golf? Because people will come to clean his room. You probably had to say, uh, no room service. Yeah, you put the few you just, that's what you do. You put the D and D, but you know, Ben, you know, Ben, he wants every, he wants to squeeze every nickel out of a hotel you can get. So he wants the room service, the bed made, the room cleaned. So that thing is in there as he's playing golf. Yeah. What's he doing with that thing in 35 minutes? It's 35 minutes. It's a long time. You don't have to cuddle that thing. You don't have to cut or foreplay. But he now has to figure out what I do with it when it's in my room. How do I get it out of here? What do I do with it once I get it home? Can't bring it to the studio. Does it bring it home? Okay. I think he does. He said he was going to save it and prank us with it later, which is a great bit. I was passing that around for the next decade would be a lot of fun turning up turning up it. Not. I didn't mean it like that. I met just, you know, it making its way into your car or something. So now he's got to get it home. Now he's got to find a place to store it without anybody finding out. So that's what we did to Ben. If you missed it, go back and listen. Do you think he uses it this weekend? It's not in it. Megan's nodding. I think he does. It's not in him. I think he does. If he does, it's a confession. We'll have to get out of him out of him at like the Christmas and holiday extravaganza. Yeah, for real. Come on. Tell us. Tell us. Be honest. So he said that he's got it. And he said he is going to bring it with him. So I'm so fascinated to hear how this all ends. And this is a weird, weird lead into the interview with the Padre Skipper, Mike Schilt, which is coming up next. Decided to talk to Schilti live from San Francisco. Coming up next right here on your home for Padre's baseball. 97-3 the fan. See what the skipper has to say. Big, big weekend. Huge weekend. They're all big. From here on out. Every single game.
