James Harden in three elimination games this season, seven for 27 from the field, one for 17 from three. They're going to give him more money. Woof. Woof. We've told you before that Jason Benetti is as good as anyone who is broadcasting games of any kind, not just baseball games. And we wanted to bring him in to see if we could get a discounted rate for charity on sneaking catchphrases into a broadcast. I'm told that Boog was able to do one of these this weekend. He's going off script. We have not... Do I have to pay for this? I told him I'd give him $1,000 for a Hee Haw 3 to his... ALS charity, but he's not doing it when he's supposed to do it. He's just doing it whenever he wants to.
You know, the plate umpire will drop his signature like, hee-haw, three, or whatever. Is that the same when he's just doing it part of conversation? He didn't actually do the call.
And he didn't say, but that's right. He didn't say the bidet up. So I think I only have to give $400 instead of a thousand dollars. Yeah. Yeah.
Just take the money from the charity for sure.
Yeah. I think, well, you got to honor, you got to honor the cash.
Dan didn't do that. Boog did.
Boog left money on the table. That's Boog's fault. And, and Boog could have helped people suffer from ALS more and he failed. And that's a Boog problem. And we'll bring on Jason Benetti here to see if he can do better. Uh, I think it should be cheaper though with Benetti. Do I have this wrong? I think because this is what I fear.
How does Jason incorporate catchphrases into his broadcasts?
Boog will do it three or four times. Benetti will do all 60 of them. Like I, I genuinely fear he'll bankrupt me. Um, uh, Here he is right now, and he's smiling the entire time. We have sent him a list of the catchphrases. How many of these do you think you could do during a broadcast?
Nothing says, yeah, Jason, go do this, like hazing boog coming into the segment for doing it wrong. Yeah, it's super welcoming. I'm very happy to do it. No, it sounds like fun. But there seem to be a lot of parameters. Like, does it have to be the exact tonality? Do I have to do it in the same cadence? I just want to know what the rules are before we embark on this.
Okay, fair enough. Fair enough. But it's hee-haw three, bidet up is the whole phrase. You got to do the whole phrase. Let's play for Benetti all of the catchphrases and see how many he thinks he might be able to do.
Number 60, I'm Fullerton Vern Fuller. 59, where's my click click? 58, hey butterfinger. 57, 56, Scranton. 55, I'm busier than a one-armed paper hanger. 54, Georgia, Georgia. 53, I'm the kind of guy that, 52, ballin' the jack. 51, hey, hey, we're the monkeys, baby. 50, thank you, Billy. 49, I love him like a pet. 48. Who made it a salad? 47. We're rolling now, huh? 46. Your brain beating me. 45. Let's go states. 44. Driver comfort is paramount. 43. Dummy up. Save up. 42. Catch as catch can. 41. Doesn't make it right. 40. So on and so forth. 39.
Very good.
38. The Little League Theory. 37. Nice hat, asshole. 36. The others, they all learn from me. 35. Don't go showering to try to please me. 34. Look at that jerk. 33. It's like a packing house in here. 32. What'd you learn? 31. Hee-haw! Top three, ba-dap. 30, I'm not going to take a quiz. 29, sassafras. 28, would we break a window? 27, hello. 26, who won? 25, trailers for sale or rent. 24, you got to eat a peg of dirt before you die. 23, three words, we are the Lobos. And now, 22, you're going to go to Buffalo with Bernie Parmelee. And number 21, rappy-cack.
So this is why I think the tone matters. Like if you're going to get me at the Dollar Tree rate, which you seem to be interested in, I think one of the things that we have to agree on is if I nail the tone, that's a double your money sort of red, white and blue three point contest ball situation.
Okay, I'll agree to that. Now, where are we doing this, though? Are we doing it as the play-by-play announcer of Sunday Night Baseball on NBC and Peacock, or are we doing it as the television voice of the Detroit Tigers?
