Speaker 1 (00:00):
Buon Jarno, Well, come in, it's our number or what
our number?
Speaker 2 (00:06):
One? Of the Ben Maler Show podcasts.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
You can not only listen to this podcast right here
on whatever platform you're listening to. I don't know, I'm
not your stocker, or you can watch the podcast the
monologues anyway of the Ben Maler Show on the YouTube channel.
But here an hour number one, What happens when an
overnight gas bag loses his lunch. You'll find out the
Dodgers get swept by the under five hundred Halos. What
(00:32):
do you take away from Dave Roberts, the manager, saying
he liked the way the Dodgers played in a vacuum
while losing yet again? Also, what is your reaction to
Twins fitcher Joe Ryan screaming the F word after multiple
pitches in his start against the Yankees? And how should
Twins fans handle the pole Ad family the owners deciding
(00:55):
not not to sell the Twins after all, even though
they had said that's what we're gonna do. We'll talk
about all of those stories and more right now here.
It is our number one. From the Big Blue Wrecking
(01:18):
Crew to Big Blue Peu.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
What stinks well?
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Come in not beginning of another night of the Ben
Malor Show. We are in the air everywhere like minded patrons,
as we are where ideas are born and where truth
is spoken, unless we're not. Coast to coast, border to
border and beyond. On the mast and sizzingly powerful microphones
(01:51):
of fs are amminating live from the mole as we
play an audio game of Whack a Mole from the
Fox Sports Radio studios as approved by Ochotexto and Cowboy Drew.
And this portion of the Ben Mallin Show made possible
in part by our friends at tire Iraq. For over
(02:12):
forty years, Tyraq has been helping customers find the right
tires for how, what and where they drive, ship fast
and free back by free road hazard protection with convenient
installation options like mobile tire Installation tyraq dot Com The
way tire.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Mind should be.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
I was gonna start with some football, but I made
an editorial decision based on listener feedback. Play the hit,
small Man, play the hits, one of our bosses used
to say back in the day. So our lead this
hour is from the Big A in Anaheim, the greatest
team in baseball history, the twenty twenty five Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
So good.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
No way they can f this up, No way they
can f this up. Well, the sweep complete the lowly Halos,
a pathetic, wretched franchise with the longest playoff drought active
in Major League Baseball. They are the bad News Bears
(03:15):
and Anaheim and they sent the gutless Dodgers into base
ball hell.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
And if you didn't see the game, probably didn't. Maybe
you missed it.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Despite Shohei O'tani starting for the Blue Crew, couldn't bet
on that catcher Logan o'hoppi coming up big late in
the game.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
He had a two run ribby.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Single in the eighth inning, and the Angels swept the
season Freeway series with a six to five win over
the once proud Dodger franchise.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
The sub five hundred Angels.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Somehow Someway swept both series against the supposedly immortal Dodgers
this season. They have now won going back to last year,
seventh straight. That's a franchise record against the team they
wish they were.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Maybe the Angels.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Playing Anaheim, which is an Orange county about thirty five
miles or so from LA and they call themselves the
La Angels because they want to be the Dodgers anyway.
But it's not about that. Did you hear the latest
pearls of wisdom from Dave Roberts? Dave Roberts, if you
did not see this or hear about it, maybe not.
(04:30):
I watched the news conference postgame news conference from the
Big A.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
There Dave Roberts trying to.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Spin spin bad baseball, bad baseball played by his team
yet again. Roberts said he liked the way the Dodgers
played as they got swept.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
I'm not making this up. I'm not. I promise you
hand to God, I'm not making this up. Roberts said.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Across the board, we did a good job competing, he said.
In another quote, Roberts said, in a vacuum, we played
well close quote. All right, So let us discuss the
question what do you take away from Dave Roberts. As
the Dodgers have now fallen out of first place, the
San Diego Padres are in first place now in the
(05:18):
National League West, and the Dodgers get swept by the Angels,
and Dave Roberts says, he says, across the board, we
did a good job competing. In a vacuum. We played well.
So what do you take away from Dave Roberts saying
that he liked the way the Dodgers played while losing
and getting swept. So my observations here, I've got Karen Bass,
(05:39):
Dice and Oakie and we will combine all of these
things together and we will cross the pearly gates is
where we're going to go.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
So number.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Now, it is appropriate that Dave Roberts mentioned a vacuum.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
You see, Dave Roberts, you are the vacuum. You suck the.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Energy out of the room. Yet that there's no urgency.
There's none. And Dave is the maestro of being tone deaf.
He is from back in the day. I really liked
him in that spot. The Dodgers are.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
In the middle of his skid.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
They look like they're going through the motions and they've
looked that way for a couple of months now. And
the manager, plausibly, the one who's the boss of the
team on the field, is essentially saying, Hey, don't worry
about the results, guys, just trust us, bro That's what
Dave Roberts is saying. It's like they're allergic to accountability
(06:47):
over there. The players make so much money you can't
criticize them. The Dodgers since July first have played thirty
six games. They're fifteen and twenty one. They're playing four
to seventeen baseball. That's the Dodgers. It's pete Dodger arrogance
and it drives me batty.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
I'm serious.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
I family the only one that cares. I know, like
the local LA talks to those guys. You know, we're Nationals,
so it's a little different, but the local guys, it
seems like there's they just don't care. It's like that
there's and this is the LA sports version of don't worry, baby,
We'll be fine.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
We will be fine while the house you know what's happening.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Dave Roberts sounds like the mayor of Los Angeles Karen Bass,
while she was on a trip to Africa, essentially saying, listen,
the water supply the city waters by, no big deal, folks. Meanwhile,
the pipes are bone dry, the palisades are burning up.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Uh, and the mayor in LA had nothing to worry
about you. It's complacency. It it's fines like I don't
want you to try too hard. Don't try too hard.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Just do the bare minimum. That's the Dodger way, that's
the dot. The sword is rolling great, right now do
the bare minimum. Make sure you collect that paycheck though,
and that line in a vacuum that is chef's kiss,
chef's kids. That's just like managers speak for. Ignore the scoreboard,
(08:17):
ignore the standings. Yeah, we're looking up, but they took
it to the Podreys, right.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
It doesn't matter. Yeah, see Dave.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
For some people, I know, not a lot, but for
some people like it actually does matter, like they and
the standings do matter.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
And your guys look flat.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
They have been outplayed by clearly inferior teams, and instead
of trying to light a fire under them.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
It appears you're handing out juice boxes, is what you're doing. Now.
There was a guy, and I.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Don't know if Loraina can find the sound by, but
there was a manager of the Mariners named John McLaren,
and he went on a rant when the seattle he
was like a temporary manager for the marriage, but he
went on a rant. You know, sick and tired of losing.
I'm sick of I want a manager to be that manager.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
I want.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
I would love to have Dave Roberts come out and
just explode like John McLaren and say, I'm sick and
titled losing. These guys are sick and tired of losing
and just going on and on. That's what I want.
I don't want in a vacuum. We played well.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
I don't need that. I don't want that. Don't say that.
Never say that you suck. Your team blows right now?
You Oh well I.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Thought we could beat it. Yeah, I mean, come on,
it's ridiculous. All right, this is what this is. A
guy named John McClaren. You have no idea who that is.
I want Dave Roberts to sound like this, tay A. Listen,
we're playing our off every day and got nothing to
show for it.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
I'm tired of losing. I'm trying to get my beating.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
So those guys, we're gonna change this around and get
after it. And only we can do it.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
The fans are.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
Pissed off, and I'm pissed off, and the.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Players are pissed off. And that's the way it is.
There's no easy way out of this. Can't field sorry
for ourself. Gotta buckle it up and get after it,
trying to damn losing his every night and we bust her.
It's gotta be a toe team. Never turn this thing around.
And that's the.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Yeah, that's what I want. I want that I don't want. Hey,
we did a good job competing in a vacuum. We
played well, that's Dave Robert. I want the other I
want the other guy. That's what I want. It's like
they think, the Dodgers think the playoffs are an automatic birthright,
and they keep adding wild card teams and all that stuff.
So it's like they just have this mindset, Well, we'll
flip the switch when we need to. The other issue
(10:33):
I have, since we're Aaron Grievans, is here is the
Dodger fan. I watched some of that Angel Dodger game.
It was eighty five ninety Dodger fans. There are no
Angel fans, right. It was like Dodger Stadium in ANAEIM
And they're so used, the Dodger fans so used this
generation of dominance in the regular season, and you know,
(10:55):
it's just meaningless platitudes and it's like, well, get to
the playoffs and all that stuff. It's like it just
drives me nuts, it does. I think I've made that clear.
It drives me freaking nuts. Art Moving on from that,
other things that I observed while I was perusing the
Sporting World trying to get ready for this talk show,
I was watching some of the Yankee Twins game from
(11:17):
the Bronx.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
That's where we're going to go.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
The reason I watched this game maybe I had a
financial investment in, maybe I didn't. But the other thing
I was watching was it was a rain delay game,
so it was like a two hour raindo lay, so
the games started a little later than normal. And for
some reason I had this game on and there's somebody
stood out. So what was your reaction to Twins starter
(11:41):
Joe Ryan screaming if you saw this or not screaming
the F word after multiple pitches in his start against
the Yankees. Joe Ryan's the guy that was supposedly traded
to the Red Sox, although it didn't actually happen, and
he's like one of two guys. It's Joe Ryan and
Iron Buxton and a bunch of Bush League players on
(12:03):
the Minnesota Twins. Anyway, Joe Ryan is out there, so
my reaction, So Joe Ryan's out there dropping F bombs
like it's a Scorsese movie, and and it seemed like
every other pitch in the middle, and that's I think
it was the fifth of the sixth inning. You clearly
I was on the Amazon feed. You clearly heard f
I can't say clear as day. The Amazon broadcast Mike's
(12:26):
picked it up, and every syllable was hilarious. I was
texting my buddies, take turn on the Yankee game.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
This is great. Joe Ryan is out there. He's like
that old comedian Andrew dice Clay from Back of the
Day on of my ound. He works blue the diceman
with the fastball.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
And then you got Michael Kay in the booth trying
to gaslight the audience, kind of pretending.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Like, yeah, you're not really hearing what you think you're hearing.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
God he even he kind of gave up on that
after a while, like, well, Joe Ryan's out there saying shucks.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
No, he's not saying shocks. Now.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
I don't hate this, by the way, I don't hate this.
The guy's intense. He's got a weird thing, uh borderlines
spectrum me. There's not that many guys like that left
in baseball, and.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
I enjoyed it.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
You know, he missed a pitch by an inch and boom,
you know, f work, you know, kick, kick a trash can.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
It doesn't appear to be a heck of a heck
of a pitcher. But he's he's also got this. We
he's like a tennis player. Tennis players like the grunt
and curse and all that stuff. And we just talked
about the Dodgers who look lifeless, and the Twins are
a pathetic team. But it's refreshing when you see a
player that has that competitive spirit and doesn't look like
(13:39):
a lifeless zombie.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Uh. You enjoy that the raw emotion that that get.
So I thought that was pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Now our final point, we're gonna stay with the the Twins. Uh,
several of you who listen to us in the Twin
Cities in the great state of Minnesota.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
No, you got to talk about this here. You should
talk about this. It's a big story. Uh.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
So, after announcing that they were going to sell the
baseball team, the Polead Family, the group that owns the
baseball team, called the Twins, they did an about face
this week and they said in a prepared statement that
they quote explored a wide range of potential investment and
(14:19):
ownership possibilities. But you know what that means, they will
remain the controlling owners moving forward of the Minnesota Twins.
So how should Twins fans handle the Polead family deciding
not to sell the Twins after all? All right, So
the Minnesota baseball team just pulled a fast one worthy
(14:42):
of like Ocean's eleven, except instead of robbing a casino,
they robbed the fan of hope. Because there was hope.
There was like, Okay, this is all gonna be okay.
The pole Aad family, they had the Twins fans thinking
they were about to hit the power ball, and they
started clearing the book. They sold off all the entire
bullpen of the Twins, trader of way, half the big
(15:05):
league roster. It was like a clearance sale at big lots.
They were getting rid of everything, and you're thinking, Okay,
finally these tight wads in Minnesota are cashing out. They've
got a lot of debt, they're getting rid of contracts,
and they're gonna move on sell the team that you
put up with it. You put up with it because
you thought this would lead to the sale of the
team and a new owner who might even think, hey,
(15:28):
we can build the World Series team. It's not just
a rumor, but no psych the old Oki dokie. They
did the Oki doky one second there, it's like the
Gene Wilder scene from Willie Walker.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Right, they're walking with.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
A limp and then the cane and then the cobblestone
and then you know, next thing you know, they fall.
They about to fall, hop back up and strut in
right to the bank with your ticket deposit. And just
kidding you, peasants, you even peasants, We're keeping the team.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
You'll take your seven eight win season and you're gonna
like it. Of course, the team's been treading water. The
twins in the.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Kiddie pool for got at least a decade, probably longer
than that. And every time you think they're going to
open the deep end of the pool, they toss in
another pool noodle and a little floating flamingo and they say, well,
it's competitive balance. And as I have said in previous
episodes of the show, it is going to take fan
(16:27):
apathy to change things.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Until then.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Enjoy the baseball version of Groundhog Day, where every year
it's the same they'll say, well, we're gonna maybe this
will be the year we spend some money. They'll underspend
and then blame the blame the weather, the blame something else,
or the blame the Dodgers, the Yankees, one of the
teams actually tries to spend money. And of course, now
the good news is the Twin fan can trade notes
(16:54):
with the Angel fan.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Because Artie Marino, who.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Has done nothing but put incompetent teams on the field
in Anaheim, Arty Marino attempted to do the same things.
I'm gonna sell the team you numb a couple of
years ago, as I got and all the Angel fans
all they got all horny, they got all excited. All right,
we're gonna get real owner. Somebody wants to compete, be
a big, big market owner. And then Arti Marino, he said, psych,
I'm doing the Oki Doki. And now the Twins have
(17:19):
done the Oki Doky. Everyone do the Oki doggy because
I'm more of the hokey pokey. That's more my that's
more my jam. It is the Ben Mahlor Show. If
you would like to be part, this is interact. And
I know we had a lot of baseball fans whatnot.
And I've been told based on the feedback that we get,
(17:40):
the real time feedback. There's a lot of people that like,
you know, the Yankees, the Red such but a lot
of Dodger fans. So I have Ranch I fill in
every once in a while on the local station in LA,
which is the Dodger flagship. They'll have me on the
midday show from time to time, and I'll get in
there and I'll throw some haymake and inevitably I'll get
(18:01):
the response.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Why are you so negative? They're such a good team,
The boys are trying hard, and it just it makes
me want to bang my head against.

So I make sure to put a lot of emojis
in there just to annoy her. And then you click

I for.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Together, they complain. Nature Boy answering the.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Call to the Wild, says Halo's rule. Don't worry, he says,
don't worry. Be oh hoppy is what he says.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Ryan rights in Ryan in San Diego. He's from La Sis.
I take it you're going.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
August twenty fifth Mookie Bets World Series Ring Night, greatest
promotion since the eight x ten Glossy of Pedro Guerrero.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
No, I will not be in attendance there. Who else?
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Ivan the Terrible who sucks up to those dreadful local
radio guys in Houston says he's a big I've heard
from boots on the ground there, big time suck up
this guy. Yeah yeah, and he pretends like he doesn't
like the show, but he listens every night to our show.
Ivan says, should have watched the as one one thousand
and two, one thousand holes and the Bosox. Our friend
(23:37):
Mark the full name guy is celebrating shot in freude,
and he was so excited to send a negative comment
in that he misspelled at least two words in this.
At least two words in this, Jill writes in from
the Twin Cities, says both the Yankees and Match are terrible.
Lose to the Twins, just like I posted, be lucky
(24:00):
to win too, stupid loss. Joe Ryan is really good,
he says. People praising Joe Ryan. Jill also says the
local radio guys are so mad about this polead fiasco.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Worst owners in sport, in baseball.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
They're pretty bad, Eileen Wrights And says, could be worse, Ben,
You could be a Giants fan.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Yeah, they suck. Man.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
I don't know who was pitching for the Giants, but
that guy better never pitch again. I don't know where
they found that guy, but the guy that pitched against
the Potters, holy crap, does he sucked?
Speaker 2 (24:29):
What else do we a?
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Brendan Wrights And says, someone on the Dodgers needs a
lot of fire under this team. Maybe someone tells them
it would be a disgrace. To lose to the Dodgers
right now, I don't know what that means. Something like
that must be done to motivate the sad Sack team. Now,
I did find the burner account for I believe this
is the burner account for the Polead family, said, who
(24:53):
cares you?
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Owe us and the Twins an immediate.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Apology, calling us bush leaguers. With Ryan in Buxton, he said.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
We'll have them.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Benning, he said, we'll have a better record now without
the great Carlos Correa not trying and annoying all the
young players. He needed to go so that if you
want to know the poll, I believe this is my
opinion the Pole Lads burner account. It's Hockey Guy thirty
three on X. I owe the Twins an immediate apology.
(25:25):
I said, you've got two guys. You've got Joe Ryan
and Byron Buxton, and then the rest of the players
are bush leaguers. I didn't say those guys were bush leaguers.
Barbaricuing Lynn from the Pacific Northwest rights In says what
we really want to know, Ben, did Dave Roberts take
the Dodgers out for some nice ice cream after the game?
Speaker 2 (25:44):
Now?
Speaker 1 (25:44):
I think what they did is they had the mister
Softy truck drive up to the visitors clubhouse there in Anaheim,
which is appropriate because the Dodgers are a lot of
mister Softi's right there, hockey guy. Also, he wrote in
he said, in addition, we have the second rated farm
system behind your pennate buying Dodger. Oh, hockey guy, you
(26:06):
must be new to these parts. Don't get me started
on farm system ratings. Okay, don't get me started on that.
He says, Well again, he's doubling down. He wants a
public apology. That's what a random Ryan in Carolina says,
A plus and a generous portion of eastern North Carolina
(26:26):
style pork barbecue. On the Malay monologue, I have had
Carolina barbecue.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
It's pretty good, pretty pretty good. Uh.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
I like Kansas City barbecue a little more, but it's
not bad. Ferg Doog rights Since says, after going six
and zero against the Doyers, some people are calling the
Angels the Orange County Brewers. Seeing my Halos compared to
one of the premier franchises in baseball, there's a real honor.
Ferg Dog says, I don't know how many World Series,
the Brewers have won.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
But I bet it's a lot. I bet it's a lot.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Rob the ambassador of Bakersfield rights and says, if the
Dodgers don't get the pitching fixed, they're done. The starters suck,
the bullpens terrible.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
End of story. Well, it goes back to the ethos
of the Dodgers. Do the bare minimum. Just do the
bare minimum.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
The starting pitching has gone the fewest innings on average
in all of Major League Baseball. That is by design,
that is by design, and they're all getting hurt anyway.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
It doesn't matter, It does not matter.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
Andy and Lionel lakes right since says, you just gave
me another good reason why I don't spend any money
on the penny pinching poll ads. He says, another kick
right in the store. To all the Twins fans, Thanks guys,
there you go. All right, it is the Ben Mahler Show.
If you would like to comment on any of the
things that we've been talking about, you can do that
(27:51):
right now and just absolutely great, be amazing, and yeah,
you can be part of this at eight seven seven
ninety nine on Fox. That's eight seven seven nine nine
sixty sixty three sixty nine. Our friend Jonathan in Delaware
rights and says, baseball rules. Damn, I love baseball. Please
keep talking about baseball, he says, And he says, did
(28:14):
you see John Boy Media got a major investment from
Major League Baseball?
Speaker 2 (28:21):
I did? I did.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Baseball is attempting to get become cool. They're trying to
become cool. That's the the goal. They want to be cool,
and so they feel like they have to embrace the
social media accounts that are are seen as cool. It's
always a little sketchy for me, Jonathan. When the leagues
(28:42):
are running the media, you're getting filtered media. And again
I realize that I'm getting older and a lot of
the young people have they don't care. They are fanboys
and they they don't criticize their favorite team.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
And they love them and they.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Lick their toes and it's just Manny and Patty, and
I guess I'm just I'm outdated because I like the
whole people accountable and I like to be critical, and
these leagues run the media.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
And I remember I had a conversation.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
I've talked about this in the past, but I had
a conversation years ago man A long time ago, generation ago,
an executive at a sports franchise. This is when the
Internet was kind of getting going. People were still using
Aol and Netscape. And this person, one of the great
soothsayers of our time, he told me, he said, no, Ben,
(29:35):
in twenty years, we are going to control the media.
We're going to control the narrative, and we're going to
clean up all this negative stuff because we'll be the
ones that we be writing the stories and be putting
the broadcasts out, and we'll be in control of everything.
And it's like when MLB dot com kind of got going,
(29:58):
and I'm like, I know about that. I mean, I
think people still will want to find legitimate opinions where
someone's critical and it appears that that person was absolutely right.
That we have now it's been more than twenty years
since I was told that, and we are at the
point now where there has been an entire generation that
(30:20):
has been raised on fanboy, cheerleader, Pom pom stuff, and
they love it and they don't want anyone to be critical.
And it's like this this burner account for the pole
Ed family. In my opinion there in Minnesota, it's like
they just want positivity. They just that's that's all they want.
That's that's all they need. Milkman, Mike says, great opening monologue,
discussing the recent perils of the Dodgers. As the season
(30:44):
goes on, the Dodger front office is now finding themselves
fending off the mobs of fans demanding answers. See, I
don't think there's mobs of fans demanding answers. That's that's
one of my shoes. I let's go back to the phone.
We'll go to the phones for the first time. Kevin
is in the sunshell. I can't get a Dodger fan
to complain in La, but I can get one in Florida.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
Hello, Kevin, what's going on? Kevin?
Speaker 5 (31:05):
Hey, dude, thanks so much, band for putting efforts. Yes,
Space Coast Van here, and I am not well. Actually
I'm not a Dodger.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
You are, That's right, your brave what's.
Speaker 5 (31:18):
Amazing is I went to bed for a little while
six nutting the Mets were killing us. I woke up.
We beat him eleven to six.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
I would like to retract my statement that I got
a Dodger call from Florida.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
This is an Atlanta brave call. This is the no.
Speaker 5 (31:35):
But I have a major, major comment, and it reminded
me of Network. Do you remember the movie Network?
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Yes, yeah, that was a long time ago, but I
do remember that the news.
Speaker 5 (31:48):
Yeah, Baye Dunnaway was in the movie.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
And so this laray HAIs let's pause right there, Lorena.
Do you know who Fade Dunaway is?
Speaker 2 (31:55):
Never heard of him? Okay, that's a woman. Go ahead,
go ahead there, Kevin.
Speaker 5 (31:59):
Yes, beautiful, foxy, foxy woman, great actress. Yeah, she was
in Bonnie and Clyde.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
Okay, do you know who Bonnie and Clyde are?
Speaker 2 (32:09):
Have you heard the story of Bonnie and cly Yeah,
I remember jay Z and Beyonce did a little something
for them.
Speaker 5 (32:14):
Okay, yeah, yeah, great, Thanks for Reina, Lorena. I remember
when you came on and ever since then you've been
a blossom to the program there. So anyway, so yeah,
this dude. They brought on this guy because their network,
their TV network was failing, and they brought on this
guy to boost ratings. And he came on and he
(32:36):
was saying, everybody, go to your windows, row your windows
up and say, damn it, I'm not going to take
this anymore. And it was amazing. You might remember this
band just by you know, just a little bit of
your smidgen of your imagination. And so that's what I'm thinking, Yeah,
(32:56):
this guy, it's perfect. Your torments were a pro about
Dave Robins, Dave, Dave bunch of stupid. The last name.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
I believe he likes to be called Roberts. Dave Roberts
is what he likes to be called. But you can
call him whatever you want.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
I mean, call mcclown, you call him, you know, schmuck.
I don't call him whatever you want.
Speaker 5 (33:15):
But I would be so frustrated if that was my team,
with all the money and all the fantastic count and
the in the first baseman that they somehow robbed from
from the Braves, rob him.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
From the Brave they signed him the Braves could have.
Speaker 5 (33:32):
Been signed whatever.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
Listen, Kevin. And one of the other issues.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
One of the other issues here, I've been told this
over the years is one of the reasons that Dave
Roberts is the way he is is because the players
are so soft they cannot handle public criticism and so
uh they just they can't handle it.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
They are they are not wired that way.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
They have had their asses kissed all the way up
the minor leagues, high school, if they went to.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
If they went to college, yes, yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
If they went to college. You know that's I just
paused there for effect. Anyway I did. I paused for effect.
It was a dramatic I was a Gottlieb there.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
I did a pause. I'm going to coach Green Bay
basketball next. Yes.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
Deep thoughts, random, deep thoughts for sure. Anyway, it is
the Ben Mather Show. The Dodgers doing something that hasn't
happened since the nineties. Congratulations the Dodgers, the first reigning
World Series champion since the nineteen ninety eight Marlins. There
were the Florida Marlins to get swept twice in a
season series of six or more games. The Dodgers swept
(34:39):
by the Angels and the Brewers this year. You might remember,
if you're old, the Marlins. They went for it in
ninety seven. They had a fire sale after that. I
was actually at that World Series in Miami and Cleveland.
The Indians got to a Game seven and blew it.
Jose Mesa and Omar Viskell never forgave him. But anyway,
(34:59):
the mar were a shell of what they had been.
They were not trying to win in nineteen ninety eight,
and that's why they got swept by these teams. Plausibly,
the Dodgers are trying to win, but somehow. On July fourth,
the Dodgers had a nine game lead in the Nationally
West over the Potters. Nine games in six weeks. The
Dodgers are now one game behind the Podreys are in
(35:21):
sole possession of the catbird seat in the Nationallygue West,
and they deserve it. Podres went for it, and it
was the vote of no confidence. And no one's talking
about this either, but the Dodger front office was not aggressive.
Andrew Freeman, by his actions, the general manager of the Dodgers,
pretty much announced he didn't think this team had it.
But because they didn't do it, they didn't do anything
(35:42):
of note. They didn't do anything to really improve the roster.
The Podreys did. They tore down half their roster. They
went for it. They added the top available relief pitcher
from the athletics. They acquired a new starting outfield, they
picked up a couple of pitchers other than the big one.
So they went for time. Now for the who am
(36:04):
I game? And this is where I pretend to be
somebody else else. We call it the who am I?
Speaker 2 (36:07):
Game?
Speaker 1 (36:07):
And here we go among the twenty and we do football.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
Among the twenty.
Speaker 1 (36:11):
Four active NFL wide receivers who are attached to the
most guaranteed money, only I was older than thirty when
I signed my contract. Again, if you look at the
top twenty four active NFL wide receivers in terms of
guaranteed money, only I was older than the age of
thirty when the deal was signed. Who am I? That's
(36:35):
the question the answer. We'll get to it and we
will do it next.
Speaker 3 (36:40):

the play of the night and it is picked by
Cooper Loop and that means Angel propaganda.
Speaker 2 (37:55):
It's oh hoppy the play of the night, the tire
rack play of the Night Stars Home Angel played six.
Speaker 1 (38:08):
Five alright, fired up on the FanDuel Sports The Angel
TV got pretty good, by the way.
Speaker 2 (38:14):
Solid he's an old Mets broadcaster from back in the day.
He's good. And that is the Tyraq player to day.
Speaker 1 (38:19):
But we have two plays of the day because we
had a seven RBI game from someone named Jacob Marcy.
I have an aunt, Marcy. Here's Jacob Marcia the Marlins
getting it double hit in the air down the left
fit line. More trouble for Marcy that'll play two more.
(38:41):
He's got a two rooms double all the games.
Speaker 2 (38:44):
Three people fish.
Speaker 1 (38:48):
It's the Marlins broadcasters clapping what it was in Cleveland.
That also the tyre Iraq play the Night two for
one special. For over forty years, ty Iraq has been

where they drive fast and freeback by free road hazard
protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation, tire
act dot Com. The wait tire buying should be. Here's
(39:10):
the who am I game? Among the twenty four active
receivers in the NFL who have the most guaranteed money
only I was older than thirty when I signed the
deal that put me on that big board of top
twenty four contract. Well, I'm about to say who it is,
but first Thomas is going with Taylor Swift is his answer.
(39:30):
Milkman Mike says it was Blind Scott when he was
in prison. Alf the Alien o'plyer says the number one
Doyers fan, Roberto.
Speaker 2 (39:39):
Who else do we have?
Speaker 1 (39:40):
Adam thielend I'm guessing from Rod the Ambassador of Bakersfield.
Speaker 2 (39:45):
Let's see page down.
Speaker 1 (39:47):

Speaker 1 (40:10):
Come on, Mike Evans was his answer. Scrooge is going

Kevin Arnold from Nature.
Speaker 1 (40:21):
Boy, Andrew Vaughan guessed by King Roy Raymond Berry from
Timothy all Right, do you have an answer, lorraina cocking hook? No,
it's Tyreek kill. Tyreek kill is the answer. The Dolphins
Buon Jarno, Well, come in, it's our number or what

Speaker 2 (00:06):
One? Of the Ben Maler Show podcasts.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
You can not only listen to this podcast right here
on whatever platform you're listening to. I don't know, I'm
not your stocker, or you can watch the podcast the
monologues anyway of the Ben Maler Show on the YouTube channel.
But here an hour number one, What happens when an
overnight gas bag loses his lunch. You'll find out the
Dodgers get swept by the under five hundred Halos. What
(00:32):
do you take away from Dave Roberts, the manager, saying
he liked the way the Dodgers played in a vacuum
while losing yet again? Also, what is your reaction to
Twins fitcher Joe Ryan screaming the F word after multiple
pitches in his start against the Yankees? And how should
Twins fans handle the pole Ad family the owners deciding
(00:55):
not not to sell the Twins after all, even though
they had said that's what we're gonna do. We'll talk
about all of those stories and more right now here.
It is our number one. From the Big Blue Wrecking
(01:18):
Crew to Big Blue Peu.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
What stinks well?
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Come in not beginning of another night of the Ben
Malor Show. We are in the air everywhere like minded patrons,
as we are where ideas are born and where truth
is spoken, unless we're not. Coast to coast, border to

And this portion of the Ben Mallin Show made possible
in part by our friends at tire Iraq. For over
(02:12):
forty years, Tyraq has been helping customers find the right
tires for how, what and where they drive, ship fast
and free back by free road hazard protection with convenient
installation options like mobile tire Installation tyraq dot Com The
way tire.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Mind should be.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
I was gonna start with some football, but I made
an editorial decision based on listener feedback. Play the hit,
small Man, play the hits, one of our bosses used
to say back in the day. So our lead this
hour is from the Big A in Anaheim, the greatest
team in baseball history, the twenty twenty five Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
So good.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
No way they can f this up, No way they
can f this up. Well, the sweep complete the lowly Halos,
a pathetic, wretched franchise with the longest playoff drought active
in Major League Baseball. They are the bad News Bears
(03:15):
and Anaheim and they sent the gutless Dodgers into base
ball hell.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
And if you didn't see the game, probably didn't. Maybe
you missed it.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Despite Shohei O'tani starting for the Blue Crew, couldn't bet
on that catcher Logan o'hoppi coming up big late in
the game.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
He had a two run ribby.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Single in the eighth inning, and the Angels swept the
season Freeway series with a six to five win over
the once proud Dodger franchise.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
The sub five hundred Angels.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Somehow Someway swept both series against the supposedly immortal Dodgers
this season. They have now won going back to last year,
seventh straight. That's a franchise record against the team they
wish they were.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Maybe the Angels.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Playing Anaheim, which is an Orange county about thirty five
miles or so from LA and they call themselves the
La Angels because they want to be the Dodgers anyway.
But it's not about that. Did you hear the latest
pearls of wisdom from Dave Roberts? Dave Roberts, if you
did not see this or hear about it, maybe not.
(04:30):
I watched the news conference postgame news conference from the
Big A.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
There Dave Roberts trying to.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Spin spin bad baseball, bad baseball played by his team
yet again. Roberts said he liked the way the Dodgers
played as they got swept.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
I'm not making this up. I'm not. I promise you
hand to God, I'm not making this up. Roberts said.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Across the board, we did a good job competing, he said.
In another quote, Roberts said, in a vacuum, we played
well close quote. All right, So let us discuss the
question what do you take away from Dave Roberts. As
the Dodgers have now fallen out of first place, the
San Diego Padres are in first place now in the
(05:18):
National League West, and the Dodgers get swept by the Angels,
and Dave Roberts says, he says, across the board, we
did a good job competing. In a vacuum. We played well.
So what do you take away from Dave Roberts saying
that he liked the way the Dodgers played while losing
and getting swept. So my observations here, I've got Karen Bass,
(05:39):
Dice and Oakie and we will combine all of these
things together and we will cross the pearly gates is
where we're going to go.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
So number.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Now, it is appropriate that Dave Roberts mentioned a vacuum.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
You see, Dave Roberts, you are the vacuum. You suck the.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Energy out of the room. Yet that there's no urgency.
There's none. And Dave is the maestro of being tone deaf.
He is from back in the day. I really liked
him in that spot. The Dodgers are.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
In the middle of his skid.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
They look like they're going through the motions and they've
looked that way for a couple of months now. And
the manager, plausibly, the one who's the boss of the
team on the field, is essentially saying, Hey, don't worry
about the results, guys, just trust us, bro That's what
Dave Roberts is saying. It's like they're allergic to accountability
(06:47):
over there. The players make so much money you can't
criticize them. The Dodgers since July first have played thirty
six games. They're fifteen and twenty one. They're playing four
to seventeen baseball. That's the Dodgers. It's pete Dodger arrogance
and it drives me batty.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
I'm serious.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
I family the only one that cares. I know, like
the local LA talks to those guys. You know, we're Nationals,
so it's a little different, but the local guys, it
seems like there's they just don't care. It's like that
there's and this is the LA sports version of don't worry, baby,
We'll be fine.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
We will be fine while the house you know what's happening.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Dave Roberts sounds like the mayor of Los Angeles Karen Bass,
while she was on a trip to Africa, essentially saying, listen,
the water supply the city waters by, no big deal, folks. Meanwhile,
the pipes are bone dry, the palisades are burning up.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Uh, and the mayor in LA had nothing to worry
about you. It's complacency. It it's fines like I don't
want you to try too hard. Don't try too hard.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Just do the bare minimum. That's the Dodger way, that's
the dot. The sword is rolling great, right now do
the bare minimum. Make sure you collect that paycheck though,
and that line in a vacuum that is chef's kiss,
chef's kids. That's just like managers speak for. Ignore the scoreboard,
(08:17):
ignore the standings. Yeah, we're looking up, but they took
it to the Podreys, right.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
It doesn't matter. Yeah, see Dave.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
For some people, I know, not a lot, but for
some people like it actually does matter, like they and
the standings do matter.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
And your guys look flat.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
They have been outplayed by clearly inferior teams, and instead
of trying to light a fire under them.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
It appears you're handing out juice boxes, is what you're doing. Now.
There was a guy, and I.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Don't know if Loraina can find the sound by, but
there was a manager of the Mariners named John McLaren,
and he went on a rant when the seattle he
was like a temporary manager for the marriage, but he
went on a rant. You know, sick and tired of losing.
I'm sick of I want a manager to be that manager.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
I want.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
I would love to have Dave Roberts come out and
just explode like John McLaren and say, I'm sick and
titled losing. These guys are sick and tired of losing
and just going on and on. That's what I want.
I don't want in a vacuum. We played well.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
I don't need that. I don't want that. Don't say that.
Never say that you suck. Your team blows right now?
You Oh well I.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Thought we could beat it. Yeah, I mean, come on,
it's ridiculous. All right, this is what this is. A
guy named John McClaren. You have no idea who that is.
I want Dave Roberts to sound like this, tay A. Listen,
we're playing our off every day and got nothing to
show for it.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
I'm tired of losing. I'm trying to get my beating.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
So those guys, we're gonna change this around and get
after it. And only we can do it.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
The fans are.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
Pissed off, and I'm pissed off, and the.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Players are pissed off. And that's the way it is.
There's no easy way out of this. Can't field sorry
for ourself. Gotta buckle it up and get after it,
trying to damn losing his every night and we bust her.
It's gotta be a toe team. Never turn this thing around.
And that's the.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Yeah, that's what I want. I want that I don't want. Hey,
we did a good job competing in a vacuum. We
played well, that's Dave Robert. I want the other I
want the other guy. That's what I want. It's like
they think, the Dodgers think the playoffs are an automatic birthright,
and they keep adding wild card teams and all that stuff.
So it's like they just have this mindset, Well, we'll
flip the switch when we need to. The other issue
(10:33):
I have, since we're Aaron Grievans, is here is the
Dodger fan. I watched some of that Angel Dodger game.
It was eighty five ninety Dodger fans. There are no
Angel fans, right. It was like Dodger Stadium in ANAEIM
And they're so used, the Dodger fans so used this
generation of dominance in the regular season, and you know,
(10:55):
it's just meaningless platitudes and it's like, well, get to
the playoffs and all that stuff. It's like it just
drives me nuts, it does. I think I've made that clear.
It drives me freaking nuts. Art Moving on from that,
other things that I observed while I was perusing the
Sporting World trying to get ready for this talk show,
I was watching some of the Yankee Twins game from
(11:17):
the Bronx.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
That's where we're going to go.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
The reason I watched this game maybe I had a
financial investment in, maybe I didn't. But the other thing
I was watching was it was a rain delay game,
so it was like a two hour raindo lay, so
the games started a little later than normal. And for
some reason I had this game on and there's somebody
stood out. So what was your reaction to Twins starter
(11:41):
Joe Ryan screaming if you saw this or not screaming
the F word after multiple pitches in his start against
the Yankees. Joe Ryan's the guy that was supposedly traded
to the Red Sox, although it didn't actually happen, and
he's like one of two guys. It's Joe Ryan and
Iron Buxton and a bunch of Bush League players on
(12:03):
the Minnesota Twins. Anyway, Joe Ryan is out there, so
my reaction, So Joe Ryan's out there dropping F bombs
like it's a Scorsese movie, and and it seemed like
every other pitch in the middle, and that's I think
it was the fifth of the sixth inning. You clearly
I was on the Amazon feed. You clearly heard f
I can't say clear as day. The Amazon broadcast Mike's
(12:26):
picked it up, and every syllable was hilarious. I was
texting my buddies, take turn on the Yankee game.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
This is great. Joe Ryan is out there. He's like
that old comedian Andrew dice Clay from Back of the
Day on of my ound. He works blue the diceman
with the fastball.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
And then you got Michael Kay in the booth trying
to gaslight the audience, kind of pretending.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Like, yeah, you're not really hearing what you think you're hearing.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
God he even he kind of gave up on that
after a while, like, well, Joe Ryan's out there saying shucks.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
No, he's not saying shocks. Now.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
I don't hate this, by the way, I don't hate this.
The guy's intense. He's got a weird thing, uh borderlines
spectrum me. There's not that many guys like that left
in baseball, and.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
I enjoyed it.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
You know, he missed a pitch by an inch and boom,
you know, f work, you know, kick, kick a trash can.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
It doesn't appear to be a heck of a heck
of a pitcher. But he's he's also got this. We
he's like a tennis player. Tennis players like the grunt
and curse and all that stuff. And we just talked
about the Dodgers who look lifeless, and the Twins are
a pathetic team. But it's refreshing when you see a
player that has that competitive spirit and doesn't look like
(13:39):
a lifeless zombie.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Uh. You enjoy that the raw emotion that that get.
So I thought that was pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Now our final point, we're gonna stay with the the Twins. Uh,
several of you who listen to us in the Twin
Cities in the great state of Minnesota.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
No, you got to talk about this here. You should
talk about this. It's a big story. Uh.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
So, after announcing that they were going to sell the
baseball team, the Polead Family, the group that owns the
baseball team, called the Twins, they did an about face
this week and they said in a prepared statement that
they quote explored a wide range of potential investment and
(14:19):
ownership possibilities. But you know what that means, they will
remain the controlling owners moving forward of the Minnesota Twins.
So how should Twins fans handle the Polead family deciding
not to sell the Twins after all? All right, So
the Minnesota baseball team just pulled a fast one worthy
(14:42):
of like Ocean's eleven, except instead of robbing a casino,
they robbed the fan of hope. Because there was hope.
There was like, Okay, this is all gonna be okay.
The pole Aad family, they had the Twins fans thinking
they were about to hit the power ball, and they
started clearing the book. They sold off all the entire
bullpen of the Twins, trader of way, half the big
(15:05):
league roster. It was like a clearance sale at big lots.
They were getting rid of everything, and you're thinking, Okay,
finally these tight wads in Minnesota are cashing out. They've
got a lot of debt, they're getting rid of contracts,
and they're gonna move on sell the team that you
put up with it. You put up with it because
you thought this would lead to the sale of the
team and a new owner who might even think, hey,
(15:28):
we can build the World Series team. It's not just
a rumor, but no psych the old Oki dokie. They
did the Oki doky one second there, it's like the
Gene Wilder scene from Willie Walker.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Right, they're walking with.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
A limp and then the cane and then the cobblestone
and then you know, next thing you know, they fall.
They about to fall, hop back up and strut in
right to the bank with your ticket deposit. And just
kidding you, peasants, you even peasants, We're keeping the team.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
You'll take your seven eight win season and you're gonna
like it. Of course, the team's been treading water. The
twins in the.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Kiddie pool for got at least a decade, probably longer
than that. And every time you think they're going to
open the deep end of the pool, they toss in
another pool noodle and a little floating flamingo and they say, well,
it's competitive balance. And as I have said in previous
episodes of the show, it is going to take fan
(16:27):
apathy to change things.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Until then.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Enjoy the baseball version of Groundhog Day, where every year
it's the same they'll say, well, we're gonna maybe this
will be the year we spend some money. They'll underspend
and then blame the blame the weather, the blame something else,
or the blame the Dodgers, the Yankees, one of the
teams actually tries to spend money. And of course, now
the good news is the Twin fan can trade notes
(16:54):
with the Angel fan.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Because Artie Marino, who.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Has done nothing but put incompetent teams on the field
in Anaheim, Arty Marino attempted to do the same things.
I'm gonna sell the team you numb a couple of
years ago, as I got and all the Angel fans
all they got all horny, they got all excited. All right,
we're gonna get real owner. Somebody wants to compete, be
a big, big market owner. And then Arti Marino, he said, psych,
I'm doing the Oki Doki. And now the Twins have
(17:19):
done the Oki Doky. Everyone do the Oki doggy because
I'm more of the hokey pokey. That's more my that's
more my jam. It is the Ben Mahlor Show. If
you would like to be part, this is interact. And
I know we had a lot of baseball fans whatnot.
And I've been told based on the feedback that we get,

which is the Dodger flagship. They'll have me on the
midday show from time to time, and I'll get in

(18:01):
the response.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Why are you so negative? They're such a good team,
The boys are trying hard, and it just it makes
me want to bang my head against.

Speaker 2 (21:43):
Are people upset you didn't post yet, Ben, Well, yes, Lorena.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
So they complained that I I do a rundown. Now,
for years I did the radio show, and I didn't
do a rundown of like things. And I don't even
include more than ten percent of what we're going to
talk about. But I sent it out and then the
boys get all worked up and they get into a
ladder and.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Well, are you not talking about what I want you
to talk about? You know, you gotta send me a
rundown on what they want me to talk about. Anyway,
So I will send that out. And I said, I
want to do this.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
I got to watch the McCall it and then I
type this into the watching McCall it, and I paste this,
and I have to put some emojis in there because
it really upsets our friend Jerry. She's in Rhode Island
and she's she gets upset. She gets annoyed with the emoji.
So I make sure to put a lot of emojis
in there just to annoy her. And then you click
(22:35):
send on that, and then boom, it goes out into
the into the world, and now people will complain whatever
I for.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Together, they complain. Nature Boy answering the.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Call to the Wild, says Halo's rule. Don't worry, he says,
don't worry. Be oh hoppy is what he says.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Ryan rights in Ryan in San Diego. He's from La Sis.
I take it you're going.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
August twenty fifth Mookie Bets World Series Ring Night, greatest
promotion since the eight x ten Glossy of Pedro Guerrero.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
No, I will not be in attendance there. Who else?
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Ivan the Terrible who sucks up to those dreadful local
radio guys in Houston says he's a big I've heard
from boots on the ground there, big time suck up
this guy. Yeah yeah, and he pretends like he doesn't
like the show, but he listens every night to our show.
Ivan says, should have watched the as one one thousand
and two, one thousand holes and the Bosox. Our friend
(23:37):
Mark the full name guy is celebrating shot in freude,
and he was so excited to send a negative comment
in that he misspelled at least two words in this.
At least two words in this, Jill writes in from
the Twin Cities, says both the Yankees and Match are terrible.
Lose to the Twins, just like I posted, be lucky
(24:00):
to win too, stupid loss. Joe Ryan is really good,
he says. People praising Joe Ryan. Jill also says the
local radio guys are so mad about this polead fiasco.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Worst owners in sport, in baseball.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
They're pretty bad, Eileen Wrights And says, could be worse, Ben,
You could be a Giants fan.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Yeah, they suck. Man.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
I don't know who was pitching for the Giants, but
that guy better never pitch again. I don't know where
they found that guy, but the guy that pitched against
the Potters, holy crap, does he sucked?
Speaker 2 (24:29):
What else do we a?
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Brendan Wrights And says, someone on the Dodgers needs a
lot of fire under this team. Maybe someone tells them
it would be a disgrace. To lose to the Dodgers
right now, I don't know what that means. Something like
that must be done to motivate the sad Sack team. Now,
I did find the burner account for I believe this
is the burner account for the Polead family, said, who
(24:53):
cares you?
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Owe us and the Twins an immediate.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Apology, calling us bush leaguers. With Ryan in Buxton, he said.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
We'll have them.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Benning, he said, we'll have a better record now without
the great Carlos Correa not trying and annoying all the
young players. He needed to go so that if you
want to know the poll, I believe this is my
opinion the Pole Lads burner account. It's Hockey Guy thirty
three on X. I owe the Twins an immediate apology.
(25:25):
I said, you've got two guys. You've got Joe Ryan
and Byron Buxton, and then the rest of the players
are bush leaguers. I didn't say those guys were bush leaguers.
Barbaricuing Lynn from the Pacific Northwest rights In says what
we really want to know, Ben, did Dave Roberts take
the Dodgers out for some nice ice cream after the game?
Speaker 2 (25:44):
Now?
Speaker 1 (25:44):
I think what they did is they had the mister
Softy truck drive up to the visitors clubhouse there in Anaheim,
which is appropriate because the Dodgers are a lot of
mister Softi's right there, hockey guy. Also, he wrote in
he said, in addition, we have the second rated farm
system behind your pennate buying Dodger. Oh, hockey guy, you
(26:06):
must be new to these parts. Don't get me started
on farm system ratings. Okay, don't get me started on that.
He says, Well again, he's doubling down. He wants a
public apology. That's what a random Ryan in Carolina says,
A plus and a generous portion of eastern North Carolina
(26:26):
style pork barbecue. On the Malay monologue, I have had
Carolina barbecue.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
It's pretty good, pretty pretty good. Uh.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
I like Kansas City barbecue a little more, but it's
not bad. Ferg Doog rights Since says, after going six
and zero against the Doyers, some people are calling the
Angels the Orange County Brewers. Seeing my Halos compared to
one of the premier franchises in baseball, there's a real honor.
Ferg Dog says, I don't know how many World Series,
the Brewers have won.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
But I bet it's a lot. I bet it's a lot.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Rob the ambassador of Bakersfield rights and says, if the
Dodgers don't get the pitching fixed, they're done. The starters suck,
the bullpens terrible.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
End of story. Well, it goes back to the ethos
of the Dodgers. Do the bare minimum. Just do the
bare minimum.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
The starting pitching has gone the fewest innings on average
in all of Major League Baseball. That is by design,
that is by design, and they're all getting hurt anyway.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
It doesn't matter, It does not matter.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
Andy and Lionel lakes right since says, you just gave
me another good reason why I don't spend any money
on the penny pinching poll ads. He says, another kick
right in the store. To all the Twins fans, Thanks guys,
there you go. All right, it is the Ben Mahler Show.
If you would like to comment on any of the
things that we've been talking about, you can do that
(27:51):
right now and just absolutely great, be amazing, and yeah,
you can be part of this at eight seven seven
ninety nine on Fox. That's eight seven seven nine nine
sixty sixty three sixty nine. Our friend Jonathan in Delaware
rights and says, baseball rules. Damn, I love baseball. Please
keep talking about baseball, he says, And he says, did
(28:14):
you see John Boy Media got a major investment from
Major League Baseball?
Speaker 2 (28:21):
I did? I did.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Baseball is attempting to get become cool. They're trying to
become cool. That's the the goal. They want to be cool,
and so they feel like they have to embrace the
social media accounts that are are seen as cool. It's
always a little sketchy for me, Jonathan. When the leagues
(28:42):
are running the media, you're getting filtered media. And again
I realize that I'm getting older and a lot of
the young people have they don't care. They are fanboys
and they they don't criticize their favorite team.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
And they love them and they.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Lick their toes and it's just Manny and Patty, and
I guess I'm just I'm outdated because I like the
whole people accountable and I like to be critical, and
these leagues run the media.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
And I remember I had a conversation.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
I've talked about this in the past, but I had
a conversation years ago man A long time ago, generation ago,
an executive at a sports franchise. This is when the
Internet was kind of getting going. People were still using
Aol and Netscape. And this person, one of the great
soothsayers of our time, he told me, he said, no, Ben,
(29:35):
in twenty years, we are going to control the media.
We're going to control the narrative, and we're going to
clean up all this negative stuff because we'll be the
ones that we be writing the stories and be putting
the broadcasts out, and we'll be in control of everything.
And it's like when MLB dot com kind of got going,
(29:58):
and I'm like, I know about that. I mean, I
think people still will want to find legitimate opinions where
someone's critical and it appears that that person was absolutely right.
That we have now it's been more than twenty years
since I was told that, and we are at the
point now where there has been an entire generation that
(30:20):
has been raised on fanboy, cheerleader, Pom pom stuff, and
they love it and they don't want anyone to be critical.
And it's like this this burner account for the pole
Ed family. In my opinion there in Minnesota, it's like
they just want positivity. They just that's that's all they want.
That's that's all they need. Milkman, Mike says, great opening monologue,
discussing the recent perils of the Dodgers. As the season
(30:44):
goes on, the Dodger front office is now finding themselves
fending off the mobs of fans demanding answers. See, I
don't think there's mobs of fans demanding answers. That's that's
one of my shoes. I let's go back to the phone.
We'll go to the phones for the first time. Kevin
is in the sunshell. I can't get a Dodger fan
to complain in La, but I can get one in Florida.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
Hello, Kevin, what's going on? Kevin?
Speaker 5 (31:05):
Hey, dude, thanks so much, band for putting efforts. Yes,
Space Coast Van here, and I am not well. Actually
I'm not a Dodger.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
You are, That's right, your brave what's.
Speaker 5 (31:18):
Amazing is I went to bed for a little while
six nutting the Mets were killing us. I woke up.
We beat him eleven to six.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
I would like to retract my statement that I got
a Dodger call from Florida.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
This is an Atlanta brave call. This is the no.
Speaker 5 (31:35):
But I have a major, major comment, and it reminded
me of Network. Do you remember the movie Network?
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Yes, yeah, that was a long time ago, but I
do remember that the news.
Speaker 5 (31:48):
Yeah, Baye Dunnaway was in the movie.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
And so this laray HAIs let's pause right there, Lorena.
Do you know who Fade Dunaway is?
Speaker 2 (31:55):
Never heard of him? Okay, that's a woman. Go ahead,
go ahead there, Kevin.
Speaker 5 (31:59):
Yes, beautiful, foxy, foxy woman, great actress. Yeah, she was
in Bonnie and Clyde.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
Okay, do you know who Bonnie and Clyde are?
Speaker 2 (32:09):
Have you heard the story of Bonnie and cly Yeah,
I remember jay Z and Beyonce did a little something
for them.
Speaker 5 (32:14):
Okay, yeah, yeah, great, Thanks for Reina, Lorena. I remember
when you came on and ever since then you've been
a blossom to the program there. So anyway, so yeah,
this dude. They brought on this guy because their network,
their TV network was failing, and they brought on this
guy to boost ratings. And he came on and he
(32:36):
was saying, everybody, go to your windows, row your windows
up and say, damn it, I'm not going to take
this anymore. And it was amazing. You might remember this
band just by you know, just a little bit of
your smidgen of your imagination. And so that's what I'm thinking, Yeah,
(32:56):
this guy, it's perfect. Your torments were a pro about
Dave Robins, Dave, Dave bunch of stupid. The last name.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
I believe he likes to be called Roberts. Dave Roberts
is what he likes to be called. But you can
call him whatever you want.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
I mean, call mcclown, you call him, you know, schmuck.
I don't call him whatever you want.
Speaker 5 (33:15):
But I would be so frustrated if that was my team,
with all the money and all the fantastic count and
the in the first baseman that they somehow robbed from
from the Braves, rob him.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
From the Brave they signed him the Braves could have.
Speaker 5 (33:32):
Been signed whatever.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
Listen, Kevin. And one of the other issues.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
One of the other issues here, I've been told this
over the years is one of the reasons that Dave
Roberts is the way he is is because the players
are so soft they cannot handle public criticism and so
uh they just they can't handle it.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
They are they are not wired that way.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
They have had their asses kissed all the way up
the minor leagues, high school, if they went to.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
If they went to college, yes, yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
If they went to college. You know that's I just
paused there for effect. Anyway I did. I paused for effect.
It was a dramatic I was a Gottlieb there.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
I did a pause. I'm going to coach Green Bay
basketball next. Yes.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
Deep thoughts, random, deep thoughts for sure. Anyway, it is
the Ben Mather Show. The Dodgers doing something that hasn't
happened since the nineties. Congratulations the Dodgers, the first reigning
World Series champion since the nineteen ninety eight Marlins. There
were the Florida Marlins to get swept twice in a
season series of six or more games. The Dodgers swept
(34:39):
by the Angels and the Brewers this year. You might remember,
if you're old, the Marlins. They went for it in
ninety seven. They had a fire sale after that. I
was actually at that World Series in Miami and Cleveland.
The Indians got to a Game seven and blew it.
Jose Mesa and Omar Viskell never forgave him. But anyway,
(34:59):
the mar were a shell of what they had been.
They were not trying to win in nineteen ninety eight,
and that's why they got swept by these teams. Plausibly,
the Dodgers are trying to win, but somehow. On July fourth,
the Dodgers had a nine game lead in the Nationally
West over the Potters. Nine games in six weeks. The
Dodgers are now one game behind the Podreys are in
(35:21):
sole possession of the catbird seat in the Nationallygue West,
and they deserve it. Podres went for it, and it
was the vote of no confidence. And no one's talking
about this either, but the Dodger front office was not aggressive.
Andrew Freeman, by his actions, the general manager of the Dodgers,
pretty much announced he didn't think this team had it.
But because they didn't do it, they didn't do anything
(35:42):
of note. They didn't do anything to really improve the roster.
The Podreys did. They tore down half their roster. They
went for it. They added the top available relief pitcher
from the athletics. They acquired a new starting outfield, they
picked up a couple of pitchers other than the big one.
So they went for time. Now for the who am
(36:04):
I game? And this is where I pretend to be
somebody else else. We call it the who am I?
Speaker 2 (36:07):
Game?
Speaker 1 (36:07):
And here we go among the twenty and we do football.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
Among the twenty.
Speaker 1 (36:11):
Four active NFL wide receivers who are attached to the
most guaranteed money, only I was older than thirty when
I signed my contract. Again, if you look at the
top twenty four active NFL wide receivers in terms of
guaranteed money, only I was older than the age of
thirty when the deal was signed. Who am I? That's
(36:35):
the question the answer. We'll get to it and we
will do it next.
Speaker 3 (36:40):

Speaker 2 (37:40):
Back to it. Back to it we go.
Speaker 1 (37:42):
And it is time now for before we get to
the payoff on the who Am I game, we have
the play of the night and it is picked by
Cooper Loop and that means Angel propaganda.
Speaker 2 (37:55):
It's oh hoppy the play of the night, the tire
rack play of the Night Stars Home Angel played six.
Speaker 1 (38:08):
Five alright, fired up on the FanDuel Sports The Angel
TV got pretty good, by the way.
Speaker 2 (38:14):
Solid he's an old Mets broadcaster from back in the day.
He's good. And that is the Tyraq player to day.
Speaker 1 (38:19):
But we have two plays of the day because we
had a seven RBI game from someone named Jacob Marcy.
I have an aunt, Marcy. Here's Jacob Marcia the Marlins
getting it double hit in the air down the left
fit line. More trouble for Marcy that'll play two more.
(38:41):
He's got a two rooms double all the games.
Speaker 2 (38:44):
Three people fish.
Speaker 1 (38:48):
It's the Marlins broadcasters clapping what it was in Cleveland.
That also the tyre Iraq play the Night two for
one special. For over forty years, ty Iraq has been
helping customers find the right tires for how, what and
where they drive fast and freeback by free road hazard
protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation, tire
act dot Com. The wait tire buying should be. Here's
(39:10):
the who am I game? Among the twenty four active
receivers in the NFL who have the most guaranteed money
only I was older than thirty when I signed the
deal that put me on that big board of top
twenty four contract. Well, I'm about to say who it is,
but first Thomas is going with Taylor Swift is his answer.
(39:30):
Milkman Mike says it was Blind Scott when he was
in prison. Alf the Alien o'plyer says the number one
Doyers fan, Roberto.
Speaker 2 (39:39):
Who else do we have?
Speaker 1 (39:40):
Adam thielend I'm guessing from Rod the Ambassador of Bakersfield.
Speaker 2 (39:45):
Let's see page down.
Speaker 1 (39:47):
