Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our num ber too. Better than
a late night infomercial talking bays ball playoff style, the
Butres and the Doyers, the Mets and the Fighting Phills.
Where do things stand? Will start in the Nation League
Western Battle? So where do things stand for the Dodgers
(00:22):
after two games? They lose Game two and not even competitive.
The fans showed more fight than the Dodgers. Also, how
would you describe Jack Flaherty's performance for LA He didn't
get into it a little bit with Manny Machano, but
on the mound not so much. And who gets the
blame for the Metropolitans belonging the lead late against the
(00:42):
Philadelphia Phillies. We'll talk about all that and more right now.
A smooth our number two. The thrill of victory the
agony of defeat weld in the beginning of another hour
the show under the Big Top. We're in the air
(01:03):
everywhere as we babble on and have virtually amazing sports
takes coast to coast, border to border and beyond. On
the mast and uncharacteristically powerful microphones of fs are ammundading
live from the game as we play the blame game
(01:25):
under the cover of darkness. We're broadcasting live from the
tier raq dot com studios. Tiract dot com will help
you get there and unmatt selection, fast free shipping, free
road hazard protection and over ten thousand recommended installars tierraqt
dot com the way tire buying should be. I know
(01:48):
the real Martin at the airport in Denver, a fan
of that ten thousand. So our lead this hour is
from lallaland the rare, appropriate, rare and appropriate baseball monologue
on an NFL Sunday into a Monday. We've been giving
the green light here. Divisional Series round is underway. The
(02:12):
flag is one again on Saturday. Everyone playing in on Sunday,
just a couple of games n L side of the bracket.
We were able to watch the activity. No some have
said the people in baseball should just give up on
Sunday and have no games on Sunday. Just give that
to the NFL and play games on the other nights.
(02:33):
The MLBA people are like, now we're gonna play anywhere,
so screw you. And they did. They played. They played
two games. So my right hand was getting a workout,
as we like to say in these parts, as I
switched back and forth between the NFL and the early
game the Philadelphia Phillies and the New York Mets. And
(02:54):
then I was kind of lucky because in the late
game the Dodgers and the pod the Cowboy game was
delayed in an hour and a half, give or take,
so I was able to focus in. And by the
time the Cowboy game kicked off, the Dodger game was
over in terms of competition. It was over, so I
was able to focus more on the Cowboy game. So anyway,
if you didn't see it, here's the deal. You Darvish,
(03:18):
the man that started Game seven of the twenty seventeen
World Series and lost because the Astros were cheating the
one thousand and two one thousand holes. But you dorrish shit.
Podres has used the Dodgers like silly Putty of late,
the powerful Dodger lineup with all those Hall of famers
(03:39):
at the very top, and they got bupkus, they got buppcus,
You darvish, limiting the Dodger offense to one run, three
hits over seven sparkling innings, which is about as much
as you can expect in the modern game. The woussification
of modern professional baseball. Fernando to taste the great steroid
(03:59):
cheat went deep couple of times, so the Padres, he
was strutting around there showing everyone is junk in the outfield.
You enjoyed that, and the Padres tied up the Dodgers
there hit six home runs a curb snopping at the ravine,
ten to two of the finals. So that's one game,
not two, not three, not four. I'm told it's now
(04:20):
a best of three series. The Padres have home field advantage.
But the better story is in the losing locker room,
as we are tied up at one one, So let
us discuss the question where do things stand for the
Doyers as the better story in the losing locker are
here after two games of the NLDS. So I've got medello, brand, ambassador,
(04:45):
and trumpet, and we will combine all of these things
together and we are gonna put on a happy face. Alright,
So number W.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
All right?
Speaker 1 (05:04):
So ut, but look at this in the the prism
of the thrilling rally. In game one, down three to nothing,
you come off the deck, you win the game, right outstanding.
But I would argue, and I think it'd be right
that what we saw of the recent vintage of Dodger
(05:27):
playoff baseball was much more online with what happened on
Sunday A right. I mean, it just was that those
are the Dodgers, that's the Dave Robers Dodgers in the playoffs,
and they've already got the built in excuse. You know
what they're gonna say when things don't go right. We just,
you know, the pitching fell apart. If we had our pitching,
(05:47):
we would have won. You know, that's going to be
the excuse. But I've seen it when they've had healthy
pitching in the playoffs here, they just go out there
and the clueless they played gutlass baseball. Now, the word
I jotted down when I was I had my little
notepad app on my phone. I was watching, I wrote
some notes there. The word I wrote down was upstaged.
(06:11):
That the Dodger players were yet again upstaged by the
opponent in this game. And San Diego, to their credit,
they played with swagger and razmataz and they embraced the
villain role. They enjoyed that is, it's fun to play
on the road and everyone's out against you and all that,
and the Dodger fans were giving them a hard time
(06:31):
and and whatnot, and Fernando ta Totise there was strutting
and doing all that in the outfield like he was
at Chippendale's bar somewhere and just having a fine time.
A living testimonial for Nando to tis to the power
of Sternroyds. It's got to be very upsetting to the teas.
He's not that old guy. No matter what he does
(06:51):
the rest of his career, it doesn't matter. He's a loser.
It's gotta be tough. But I will give him credit
and to be fair, you know, I want to be
you know, shock shock guy and all that. And when
I see something, I report on it. And it certainly
appears that he has gone to the pharmacy to tease.
He's gotten the right combination of ringworm medication. Yeah, that's
(07:13):
what it was. It was the ring worm, the powerful ringworm.
Yeah that's it.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
That's just so good.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Oh, it's so good. And then you had the backdrop
the Madhouse at Chavez Ravine. And I've been there many
times over the years, back before I was banned because
of Atani, when I was welcomed by the Dodgers and
I've seen it. I was at the last game ever
that ended in baseball by forfeit. It was a Dodger
Cardinal game many many years ago, and I recall the
(07:46):
Cardinal players, Brian Jordan, who would play in the NFL
and baseball. Brian Jordan loved it. I remember being in
the locker room after the Cardinal locker was this is
the coolest thing. It was awesome running off the field
and the game was not suspended. It was paul but
it wouldn't they zoom play after about ten minutes or
so at the ravine, but the fans were chucking baseballs
(08:06):
and other crap on the field and the Padres. Of course,
nobody wants to mention this, but they were inciting the crowd.
So it's it's like, okay, the fans are all drunk,
they're all, you know, pounded medello out in the pavilion,
and then the Padre players are are trying to ignite
the fire and the It is rather embarrassing. I also
(08:27):
jotted this down. Is this let me ask you, this
is this too harsh? That it's a bad sign when
your fan base has the fighting spirit and they have
more passion than the players in the field. Is that
a bad sign? I'm asking for a friend, because it
certainly appears the Dodger fan cares a lot more than
the Dodger players. Of course, this is one of those
age old problems that there's really no way to solve it.
(08:49):
The Dodgers have all these players that are generational wealth
ball players, and you know they want to win. I
don't doubt the Dodger players want to win, but it's
not the most important thing. They lose, they'll go back
to their their mansions and they'll be fine, and they'll
enjoy nice vacation. They'll have more time, in fact, to
be on vacation, and they'll enjoy the high life and
it really won't bother them that much. The guy that
(09:12):
has invested his money to buy tickets to a playoff game,
who can't really afford those tickets, but loves the Dodgers
so much they spend that money, that's the person that
has something invested in this. The person getting paid thirty
five forty million dollars a year is not the person
that has a lot of investment in this. But yeah,
(09:32):
it was wild. I heard a lot of people say, Wow,
fans should not act like this. I didn't hear many
people say the Padre players should not have egg gone
to doctor Fans. I didn't hear many people say maybe
they missed that the video clips of to tease and
the others there that were igniting the fan base there
to tease and making sure everyone in the pavilion enjoyed
his junk as he highlighted it there. But that is
(09:55):
not something that jump started the boys in Blue. They
were zombies. It didn't wake them up. There was one
little incident that happened, and that was involving Jack Flaerty
speaking of that, the backsliding of the Dodgers. I was
on the radio the day of the trade deadline. I
was filling in locally on the Dodger radio station. I
(10:15):
do that occasionally, and the trade happened right at the deadline.
Dodgers got their their big starting pitcher from Detroit. How
would you describe the first Dodger postseason performance by Jack Flaherty.
So a lot of people were disillusioned, That's the word
I would use. Disillusioned that Flarity would step his game up,
(10:38):
big stage, big opportunity, and that was the move, That
was the signature move. The Dodgers made at the deadline.
They needed pitching. That's the guy they want. They went
and't got. And you think of this like Hollywood Squares,
that old show Hollywood Squares. Flarherty was in the center square.
He's an LA kid. Dodger Stadium Ballpark right there. You're
(10:59):
the tone setter, and you talk about putting the padres
up against it. The Dodgers win Game one, come from behind.
You got flarity on the mound for Game two, you're
the tone setter the whole thing. Send a message early,
shut the team down early on. And when you're the
home team, that first couple innings is so important, so
(11:19):
important for the starting pitcher to shut it down. And
what happened. Jack Flaherty went out there. Jack Flaherty was
the brand ambassador for Kingsford Charcoal lighter fluid, poured it
all over the mound and burn baby burn as he
poured it around there a demoralizing effort. It wasn't the
(11:40):
worst of the worst. He didn't get pulled like Kershaw
last year against Arizona, but in terms of what was
expected and what he did, it was a pathetic performance
by Jack Flaherty. Now, the good news is there is
no such thing as momentum doesn't exist. We know that
smart people know that, dumb people don't. There's no momentum,
(12:02):
and so it's just one ya, you'll flush it. As
Jalen Hurts said about the bad performance with the Eagles
a couple of years ago, you know, you drop a deuce,
you flush it, you move on, and you live to
fight another day.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
All right?
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Final point. We go to the eastern side of the
divisional round of the bracket in the National League, and
while the late games in the NFL were being played,
the Afhillies and the Mets went back and forth, and
for the Fighting Phills getting the full Philadelphia experience. Nick
Castellanos booed by the hometown fans there in Philadelphia earlier,
(12:34):
and he deserved it, ends up smacking the walk off
ribby single. He also had hit in the eighth inning
break through as well, and also just all around nice
ending there for the Fighting Fills. The Phills rally to
beat the Metropolitans and tie that series up at one one.
(12:54):
So who gets the blame for the Metropolitans blowing the lead?
Who gets the blame? So I'm gonna blame Timmy trumpet. Well,
the friend of Timmy Trumpet. Who's who I'm going to
blame now? Who is that? That would be uh Narco
as in Edwin Diaz the well he's a pitcher for
(13:14):
the Mets, and he likes that Timmy Trumpet song Narco
when he comes out of the bullp so postseason play.
So we have been told over the years baseball playoff activity,
it's a stepping stone opportunity, a chance to step your
game up, to prove the moment is not too big,
and all that matters is what you do in that
particular moment. Well ed when Diaz ended up soiling his
(13:36):
diaper in that moment, he did uh in no other
word to say it, and no if sands were abouts
about it.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Now.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
He did start out fine, he put out the fire
in the seventh inning, but then Diaz started a inferno,
a wildfire in the eighth inning, a lot of two run,
go ahead triple to Bryson's stott of the phill Is.
Look at Diez and Tyler McGill, who allowed to combine
(14:05):
four runs in the eighth and the ninth innings. But
the good news for the Mets is even though they
lost the game, and they should have probably won the game.
It doesn't matter. It's on brand for JD. Martinez in
the Mets. Right if they say we suck, we suck,
and let's suck, let's go suck together, let's go suck,
have fun sucking. And they did. They appeared to have
fun sucking me. They seemed like that a good time.
(14:27):
They were enjoying themselves and the boys sucked, and that's fine.
It's on brand for the Mets. All right is the
Ben Mahlor Show. If you would like to be part
of this, you can join us here, doesn't matter. The
show is gonna be terrible. We had a terrible first call,
but you can join the show if you want. Lines
are open also on X at Ben Mahllor. That's at
Ben Mahlor. So we had a home run taken away
(14:49):
from Mookie Betts of the Dodgers by Jerkson Profar. Now,
Jerkson Profar really like the environment at Dodger Stadium, appeared
to really enjoy it, but he really loved taking the
home run away. What exactly did he have to say
about that moment where he took the home run away.
We'll tell you. We'll get to that and we will
(15:12):
do it next.

here that somebody has now cracked the case completely in
half and half of it is missed. I'm sure that'll
be replaced very soon. Yes, No, we're efforting that. Are
(16:04):
we efferting that?
Speaker 6 (16:05):
No?
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Not at all, but it is. I'm looking at So everyone.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Killed the rat slash bat first?
Speaker 1 (16:11):
No, I think that's kind of fun. Hey, come on,
we don't want it. It's great. It's like doing the
radio out on the you know, at somewhere on the serengetti,
you know, you get the animals running around, little critters, vermin.
The degree of difficulty, Yeah, degree of difficulty right up there.
Starting this hour, talking to Baseball, the National League Divisional
(16:33):
Series round is underway. Masso Mickey says, could you remind
us why you got banned from Dodger games?
Speaker 5 (16:43):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Yeah, because the Dodgers signed this guy from Japan and
apparently every media outfit in Japan is covering the Dodgers.
No room for the LA media. They've sold enough Dodger
dogs and jerseys and whatnot in La Masshole Mickey. They
want to sell and milk the people of Japan for
all their money. Apparently, Yeah, I think that would be
the That's that's what I've heard. I don't know, but
(17:05):
no room, no room. Og Art puffin right since says
a plus and a dog on the opening Moulton monologue,
but not a Dodger dog because they've been recalled on
account of cross contamination. That is a thirty eight year
old you darbish pitched a gem against the team he
failed in twenty seventeen. Grows some Cojones, Dodgers, everyone else
(17:28):
is well, I have forgiven you darbish. The a holes
were cheating. Baseball did not properly investigate that. They look
the other way at the Altuve buzzer. As we have discussed,
it is our opinion that there was a buzzer involved,
but also that if you were cheating at home, why
(17:49):
would you not do it on the road. So it
is more likely than not they were doing it everywhere,
and Baseball limited the damage. They left a lot of
what happened on the cutting room floor. Shall we say,
let's go to the phones, and we'll say hello to
Jed who fled, who is not dead. He is alive.
Hello Jed who fled as far as.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
We know, And then got a game about Can I say,
all right, so I just I just my charge of cord.
I'm actually back back around. Uh. The spends the time
of my folks, and so you called me slipping in
(18:30):
there to get a charge of cord much earlier than that,
my dad, because you nap. Dude, whose face do I
see on his TV? Unexpectedly for the first time, some
man his hat almost has bit his head on x
stren TV has been now he's somehow Why are you
owning on the Bay Area like Boston and in all
(18:52):
the liberal CITs NBC's why am I having to watch
a liberal city network to watch you Jenny on.
Speaker 1 (19:00):

Speaker 1 (19:58):
You guess what are you complaining about today? What are
you complaining about today? You know how much they're playing
old Tani or the Dodgers and one one.
Speaker 6 (20:05):
Oh my god, you're talking about me complaining. Hey, the
Mets have a big appair over the Dots, and what
are you complaining about mister Chevin hundred million dollars who
doesn't pitch or play al zeal or play the hand zeal.
He just slaps the bat jee He wasn't too effected today?
Can the too? But that does sound too good? Is
(20:27):
the series coming back to La Lamb?
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Is it the Dodgers to win both in San Diego?
There's no real home field advantage there. The Padre fans
have been terrible. We know that, so it wouldn't be
that hard to win there.
Speaker 6 (20:38):
I need to thank the Vandervil Kamodos for making my weekend,
probably making my whole college.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
You like that performance by Alabama? You like that, you
like that roll Tide, Roll Tie. I love the video.
I smiled when I saw the clip. We all saw it.
I was eving the blind people of the goal post
being taken through downtown Nashville. Uh, that is just it
looked like like ants carrying something. It was awesome. It
(21:07):
was wonderful to.
Speaker 6 (21:09):
Remind you that whole thing. Revenge is a dish vester
of cold. Oh it was so cold butter Yeah, Goo
Pabia the quarterback did nobody wanted? Where New Mexico State?
Where's that? Where's the Alpha country? Los Cruces? Where's that?
At Dan? Where's the Mexico State?
Speaker 1 (21:28):
It's on a map there, You're look at a map
and then there's not a lot in not a lot
in New Mexico. There's a lot of it you can't
live in because that's where they tested the nuclear bomb
in New Mexico. You can't really live in a lot
of New Mexico because there's still nuclear fallout in parts
of it.
Speaker 6 (21:46):
Hey make shaver, he won't have to run out on
the Dolphins now, he'd be running out on Alabama.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Next to Nick. He has all the answers on TV
and they just watch him on TV. He's got all
the answers there. Boys, he boring. My god, guy's got
a good resume because he sucks at TV.
Speaker 6 (22:02):
My god, Hey, I was listening to the to the
Alabama Apologist all week long. Massage now, Jillen Noro size
form and giving him a body massageist. Hey, he's my
number one heisman pitch. Well, hey, how do you let
the heisman?
Speaker 7 (22:19):
Now?
Speaker 6 (22:19):
You talk about an overrated award, I'm still striking a
damn heidsman talk every year. Oh, I got a Heisman war.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
You're right, the bigger award is the John R. Wooden Award.
By far, that is the most important award in all
of college sports. It is not the Heisman. The heisman
gets all his attention. It's an elitist award, the John R.
Wooden Award much more important than the Heisman.
Speaker 6 (22:44):
You're just being.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
No, I'm not being sarcastic at all. I truly believe
that Eddy doing. I don't believe that the John R.
Wooden Award is a more important award.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
I'm sure you do believe that. But yeah, it's also
I'm sure not a coincidence that you have a vote
for the Jen Wooden Award.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
I would never I would never be biased, be because
I actually helped the side who wins the John R.
Wooden Award. I would never never say, are you saying
wait a mane?
Speaker 4 (23:06):
Now?
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Jerome Jaden Daniels won the Heisman last year in Louisiana State.
Uh from botol Ruge. He appears to be he appears
to be pretty good with the Washington there four and one.
They're on top in the NFC East. I don't even
watch football, but that's pretty good.
Speaker 6 (23:21):
Hey, let me ask your questions that gives Jalen mil
Roads and will you'd be as big of a male
model as Bryce Young as.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
He got back in the game. By the way, Dalton got.
Speaker 6 (23:34):
Bench put the Trumphy wonner in. You'll bring us back? Yeah,
Jim Jayalen another Alabama quarterback that's a bust in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Are you feeling you're feeling okay? If you're feeling all right,
I saw Dave Canalis, the coach at Carolina's like, well,
Bryce Young played really well in garbage really, he played
really well in garbage time. Okay, congratulations, that's great.
Speaker 6 (24:04):
I got another question for you. Who's gonna be the
next game cart quarter I mean head coach because it's
not looking good here and they're up there in Columbia.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
Ben all right, Bill BELICHICKLS, Yeah, bring back the blue holes?
Where was Where's Steve Spurrier? How old is he?
Speaker 6 (24:25):
Ninety?
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Golf somewhere. Yeah, the old ball coach. Bring bring him around.
Speaker 6 (24:28):
There, Bill Belichick, the gamble. Maybe you'll have Kyree's next
to the defensive coordinator. Huh, the two Gambles, Bill, we
got on the gamb this weekend.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
I get out of here, Jerome, go go away. All right,
there's a buddy's Erome in Charleston. Bring it home. Jerome
always angry about something, and he calls in here and
just starts yapping away and screaming and shouting and and
all that wonderful stuff.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
Just just great.
Speaker 4 (24:57):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Fun Fact Time, fun fact, fun fact, fun fact, fun fact,
fun fact. Do you know, with one game left in
Week five, who the NFL leader in passer rating is
this season? Among all qualified quarterbacks. It is not justin fields.
It is not Dak Prescott. It is thirty nine year
(25:23):
old Joe Flacco, the NFL's passing raider rating leader one
hundred and fifteen point six passer rating. He has seventy
pass attempts. That is the minimum standard to qualify for
the leader Board or Bird Seventy pass attempts. So Joe
Flacco is number one top qualified quarterbacks in the NFL. Also,
(25:48):
watching the different games, I noticed the mandate here from
the NFL to get rid of guns, even fake guns,
your finger guns. We we had multiple penalties. There was
one in the Giant Seahawk game, one in the Colts
game against Jacksonville where players have been penalized for finger guns. See,
(26:14):
I just used one on Eddie. He didn't see it,
but I'm using my mom here. HR, you can find it,
let me know where they are. But I used the uh,
the finger gun on Eddie.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
And the NFL, Yeah, that will be tough for like
Texas Tech because I think that's their actual.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Like, uh, well they're not in the NFL last night,
but I'm just saying, but it is in college also.
We saw one of the college games I was watching.
Somebody did it in college football also and they got penalized.
But the NFL is a policy against violent gestures and
even suggesting that is offensive. And uh, an act that
is either violent or sexually suggestive is offensive. It can
(26:54):
be pushed. And what about baseball because I saw Fernandro
Tatisz was like a male stripper out in the outfield
of Dodger Stadium like that legal? Or is that allow
you can? Like I don't know, I'm asking are you
allowed to do that? Strutting around and all that having
a good time?
Speaker 3 (27:06):
Was it the what did you like to use to
say the pelvic f.
Speaker 7 (27:11):
That was?
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Yeah, you remember that. That was Cam Newton And that
was a woman wrote an op ed to the newspaper
somewhere in the South in Nashville and complained about the
chest puffs, the pelvic thrusts, and the arrogon struts of
Cam Newton and she was very upset by that. It
must be a fun woman to hang out with. But yeah,
(27:32):
that was years ago. Yeah, I used that line for
a long time. Bring it back, I say, we should
bring it back. Did well? That was Fernando Tatisa. People
have been sending me these clips from their cell phones
out in the pavilion at Dodger Stadium, and it's the
chest puffs, pelvic thrust, a lot of pelvic thrusts, and
he had the arrogon struck. He had all three of
those by the bing bout a boom one two three. So,
(27:53):
speaking of that game, Dodgers lose, Padres went big in
Game two. So it's one one, best of three, head
back to San Diego on Tuesday. Jerkson Profar, now you
probably weren't watching this game any but he took a
home run away from Mookie Bets and then did the
hoppity hop, the bunny hop. Yeah, he faked out the
(28:15):
Fox f s one graphic team that put the Dodgers
on the board. Didn't they also taked out Mookie Bets.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
Like at the in the stadium, didn't they like hit
the lights And I thought.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
It was it was all run and he held the moment,
he let it breathe and then he then he said, ah,
got ya Gotti, and he had the ball in the glove.
And so what the Dodgers have to do is they
have to lower the price of those tickets near the
foul pole so that some of the pavilion fans can
get over there, because they you try to do that
(28:47):
against the pavilion fans. All right, the hoodlums live out
in the pavilion at Dodger Stadium, and somebody would have
stolen Jerkson Profar's glove, would have taken it off his
hand and run up the aisleway there at Dodger stating,
but Jersey and Profile the Padres said it felt like
an NBA game, you know, when you're you're dunking on
(29:08):
guys talking about taking the home run away from Mookie
Bets playoff Mookie now op is last twenty two in
postseason play Mookie Bets. I guess three hundred and sixty
five million dollars can get you some playoff hits. Let's
say hello to Hollering James who was in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Hello,
Hollering James.
Speaker 8 (29:29):
Hollering James is on the air, and he finally got
through to Ben Maller. Ben Maller, I got a lot
to talk about it.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Who's Ben Maler? I don't know who that is? My links,
Oh my god, you're Lynks lost? Oh man?
Speaker 8 (29:46):
What about my Gophers?
Speaker 1 (29:48):
I saw the Gophers. That was a nice win there,
or I don't know. You celebrate beating scy sc loses
to everybody. I wouldn't celebrate beating the Trojans, the men
of Troy. They're not very manly.
Speaker 8 (30:00):
Ja needed a Trojan when he met Nicole Brown Simpson
Jos in the week.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
I don't think that would have mattered James. I don't,
in fact, you might have said that OJ acted like
a trojan with his sword that night. That might have
been the problem there.
Speaker 8 (30:22):
Over the week, Bet, I got a question for you,
Sam Donald, who is her body? Was?
Speaker 6 (30:31):
Well?
Speaker 1 (30:31):
That looked like more of my my memory of Sam Donald.
I saw the highlights of that game, and I looked
at the box score. I said, that's the Sam Donald.
I remember, that's the guy that played for the Jets.
Less than fifty percent of his pass is complete, averaging
less than six yards per pass, and just just blah,
just and he still won the game. Even with him
(30:53):
playing like dog pooh. They still won the.
Speaker 8 (30:54):
Game the Vikings because.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
He was having no They won the game because Aaron
Rodgers handed them the game. That's why he hates it.
I would I don't want the game. Here's the game.
I was the first touchdown of the game. What was
the first touchdown? That's right, A picked six. Aaron Rodgers
threw an interception return for a touchdown. That's not a
(31:22):
big word, James. Stellar is not a big word.
Speaker 8 (31:26):
Now.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
How much is stellar worth in in scrabble? I know
that we're not, but I want to know how much
the word scrabble is not worth much?
Speaker 8 (31:45):
About Nazi.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
My boy, he doesn't know who I am. Trust me,
he had no idea who I am?
Speaker 8 (31:58):
What my persicular damion job? Take the world back, Donald Trump,
come back?
Speaker 1 (32:07):
Okay, all right, j can I go?
Speaker 4 (32:10):
Now?
Speaker 1 (32:10):
You're gonna keep calling and annoy me.
Speaker 8 (32:12):
I can't annoy you anymore. Who's the boss me? He's
gonna be intercepted by the authorities anywhere else.
Speaker 1 (32:21):

Well Mallard of third degree. That'll be coming up in
a little bit, but right now it is time for
the instad trivia. Blank is an NFL starting quarterback who
is just three and twenty eight in his career. When
his team allows more than sixteen points, I never played
in the NFL, but I think that blows. I see.
Speaker 7 (33:56):
Who do we have?
Speaker 1 (33:57):
Daniel Jones, Dandy Dimes Yes by Ike and Roeville, Minnesota.
Cowboy Killer says it has to be future face of
the NFL. Bo Nicks, Steve Spurrier from I forty Ian
driving his big rig around? Who else we have? Page
down Mark from Queen says Jacoby Brissett. Rough Day he says,
(34:18):
only get a big head, but you're you to get
a big head, but you're hilarious. Well, thank you well.
The Patriots almost beat the Dolphins in the final seconds
almost a foot half a foot didn't get it done
there at the end, saving the prosterity of the number
one pick in the draft for the Patriots. The Dreams
of the number one pick, Alf the Alien Opiner says
(34:39):
Elvis Presley, It's good photo Alf. Alf always finds good folks.
The dog Face Gremlin, Rick Sneiner from Rob in Vegas,
Tom Brady's bowel Movements from Steve aka Stevie Meatballs, Charles Woodson,
Who's forty eight Today? From The Late Night Drug Tister,

we have? Super Marcus? Steve says, I hate getting these
questions right because you always accused me of cheating, and
then he cheated. Do you have an answer? Do you
have an answer? Do I need an answer? The again?
The question of the hour blank is an NFL starting
(35:28):
QB three and twenty eight when his team allows more
than sixteen points?
Speaker 3 (35:33):
Is it justin fields?
Speaker 1 (35:34):
Is it justin fields? Is that the correct that that
is the correct answer, justin fields? Who you endorsed? Eddy?
You endorse the guy who's three and twenty eight up
more than sixteen points?
Speaker 4 (35:46):
And no?
Speaker 1 (35:46):
Ninety seven? Buzz I want to hear a third degree?
All right, that's what I want? How about that?
Speaker 4 (35:51):
To the third degree?
Speaker 6 (35:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (35:53):
I know this is one big ben gets quilled.
Speaker 7 (35:58):
So it was reported over the weekend that Adams should
be ready to play next week. Do you think he'll
still be with the team by that point?
Speaker 1 (36:06):
The Raiders actually should hold on to Devonte Adams right
up until the deadline. You drive up the price, get
the Bills all horny, and these other teams all horny
for Devonte Adams, and then you trade him at the
very last minute, and maybe somebody's dumb enough to send
you a second round pick for Devonte Adams.
Speaker 7 (36:23):
So yes, I would wait and drive up the price.
Next the TMZ caught up with Mark Sanchez. He said
he does not believe that the Jets should fire Robert
Sala and they should just let the season play out.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
Do agree with him. I think way they should do
is move Robert Salerd to the head of the cheerleading department,
is what they ought to do, because he's like essentially
a cheerleader on the sidelines there. I don't think he's
actually coaching, at least if he is, he's doing a
terrible job. But no, they're gonna get rid of everybody.
This goes the way it's going for the Jets, Rogers
will be gone, everyone will be gone next.
Speaker 7 (36:51):
The report said that the reason Lebron came to Los
Angeles is because how the Lakers treated Kobe Bryant during
the final seasons of his career. Lebron refeted the report
so that he wanted to help Genie win championships. Ben,
do you believe the report now? He came to LA
because of all the movie studios. He wanted to be
in entertainment. You come to LA to get into entertainment.
That's why he's full of crap. Lebron, how do we
know you fail us? That is a win, a win,
(37:15):
just like the Cowboys won the game.
Hello and welcome. It's our num ber too. Better than
a late night infomercial talking bays ball playoff style, the
Butres and the Doyers, the Mets and the Fighting Phills.
Where do things stand? Will start in the Nation League
Western Battle? So where do things stand for the Dodgers
(00:22):
after two games? They lose Game two and not even competitive.
The fans showed more fight than the Dodgers. Also, how
would you describe Jack Flaherty's performance for LA He didn't
get into it a little bit with Manny Machano, but
on the mound not so much. And who gets the
blame for the Metropolitans belonging the lead late against the
(00:42):
Philadelphia Phillies. We'll talk about all that and more right now.
A smooth our number two. The thrill of victory the
agony of defeat weld in the beginning of another hour
the show under the Big Top. We're in the air
(01:03):
everywhere as we babble on and have virtually amazing sports
takes coast to coast, border to border and beyond. On
the mast and uncharacteristically powerful microphones of fs are ammundading
live from the game as we play the blame game
(01:25):
under the cover of darkness. We're broadcasting live from the
tier raq dot com studios. Tiract dot com will help
you get there and unmatt selection, fast free shipping, free
road hazard protection and over ten thousand recommended installars tierraqt
dot com the way tire buying should be. I know
(01:48):
the real Martin at the airport in Denver, a fan
of that ten thousand. So our lead this hour is
from lallaland the rare, appropriate, rare and appropriate baseball monologue
on an NFL Sunday into a Monday. We've been giving
the green light here. Divisional Series round is underway. The
(02:12):
flag is one again on Saturday. Everyone playing in on Sunday,
just a couple of games n L side of the bracket.
We were able to watch the activity. No some have
said the people in baseball should just give up on
Sunday and have no games on Sunday. Just give that
to the NFL and play games on the other nights.
(02:33):
The MLBA people are like, now we're gonna play anywhere,
so screw you. And they did. They played. They played
two games. So my right hand was getting a workout,
as we like to say in these parts, as I
switched back and forth between the NFL and the early
game the Philadelphia Phillies and the New York Mets. And
(02:54):
then I was kind of lucky because in the late
game the Dodgers and the pod the Cowboy game was
delayed in an hour and a half, give or take,
so I was able to focus in. And by the
time the Cowboy game kicked off, the Dodger game was
over in terms of competition. It was over, so I
was able to focus more on the Cowboy game. So anyway,
if you didn't see it, here's the deal. You Darvish,
(03:18):
the man that started Game seven of the twenty seventeen
World Series and lost because the Astros were cheating the
one thousand and two one thousand holes. But you dorrish shit.
Podres has used the Dodgers like silly Putty of late,
the powerful Dodger lineup with all those Hall of famers
(03:39):
at the very top, and they got bupkus, they got buppcus,
You darvish, limiting the Dodger offense to one run, three
hits over seven sparkling innings, which is about as much
as you can expect in the modern game. The woussification
of modern professional baseball. Fernando to taste the great steroid
(03:59):
cheat went deep couple of times, so the Padres, he
was strutting around there showing everyone is junk in the outfield.
You enjoyed that, and the Padres tied up the Dodgers
there hit six home runs a curb snopping at the ravine,
ten to two of the finals. So that's one game,
not two, not three, not four. I'm told it's now
(04:20):
a best of three series. The Padres have home field advantage.
But the better story is in the losing locker room,
as we are tied up at one one, So let
us discuss the question where do things stand for the
Doyers as the better story in the losing locker are
here after two games of the NLDS. So I've got medello, brand, ambassador,
(04:45):
and trumpet, and we will combine all of these things
together and we are gonna put on a happy face. Alright,
So number W.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
All right?
Speaker 1 (05:04):
So ut, but look at this in the the prism
of the thrilling rally. In game one, down three to nothing,
you come off the deck, you win the game, right outstanding.
But I would argue, and I think it'd be right
that what we saw of the recent vintage of Dodger
(05:27):
playoff baseball was much more online with what happened on
Sunday A right. I mean, it just was that those
are the Dodgers, that's the Dave Robers Dodgers in the playoffs,
and they've already got the built in excuse. You know
what they're gonna say when things don't go right. We just,
you know, the pitching fell apart. If we had our pitching,
(05:47):
we would have won. You know, that's going to be
the excuse. But I've seen it when they've had healthy
pitching in the playoffs here, they just go out there
and the clueless they played gutlass baseball. Now, the word
I jotted down when I was I had my little
notepad app on my phone. I was watching, I wrote
some notes there. The word I wrote down was upstaged.
(06:11):
That the Dodger players were yet again upstaged by the
opponent in this game. And San Diego, to their credit,
they played with swagger and razmataz and they embraced the
villain role. They enjoyed that is, it's fun to play
on the road and everyone's out against you and all that,
and the Dodger fans were giving them a hard time
(06:31):
and and whatnot, and Fernando ta Totise there was strutting
and doing all that in the outfield like he was
at Chippendale's bar somewhere and just having a fine time.
A living testimonial for Nando to tis to the power
of Sternroyds. It's got to be very upsetting to the teas.
He's not that old guy. No matter what he does
(06:51):
the rest of his career, it doesn't matter. He's a loser.
It's gotta be tough. But I will give him credit
and to be fair, you know, I want to be
you know, shock shock guy and all that. And when
I see something, I report on it. And it certainly
appears that he has gone to the pharmacy to tease.
He's gotten the right combination of ringworm medication. Yeah, that's
(07:13):
what it was. It was the ring worm, the powerful ringworm.
Yeah that's it.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
That's just so good.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Oh, it's so good. And then you had the backdrop
the Madhouse at Chavez Ravine. And I've been there many
times over the years, back before I was banned because
of Atani, when I was welcomed by the Dodgers and
I've seen it. I was at the last game ever
that ended in baseball by forfeit. It was a Dodger
Cardinal game many many years ago, and I recall the
(07:46):
Cardinal players, Brian Jordan, who would play in the NFL
and baseball. Brian Jordan loved it. I remember being in
the locker room after the Cardinal locker was this is
the coolest thing. It was awesome running off the field
and the game was not suspended. It was paul but
it wouldn't they zoom play after about ten minutes or
so at the ravine, but the fans were chucking baseballs
(08:06):
and other crap on the field and the Padres. Of course,
nobody wants to mention this, but they were inciting the crowd.
So it's it's like, okay, the fans are all drunk,
they're all, you know, pounded medello out in the pavilion,
and then the Padre players are are trying to ignite
the fire and the It is rather embarrassing. I also
(08:27):
jotted this down. Is this let me ask you, this
is this too harsh? That it's a bad sign when
your fan base has the fighting spirit and they have
more passion than the players in the field. Is that
a bad sign? I'm asking for a friend, because it
certainly appears the Dodger fan cares a lot more than
the Dodger players. Of course, this is one of those
age old problems that there's really no way to solve it.
(08:49):
The Dodgers have all these players that are generational wealth
ball players, and you know they want to win. I
don't doubt the Dodger players want to win, but it's
not the most important thing. They lose, they'll go back
to their their mansions and they'll be fine, and they'll
enjoy nice vacation. They'll have more time, in fact, to
be on vacation, and they'll enjoy the high life and
it really won't bother them that much. The guy that
(09:12):
has invested his money to buy tickets to a playoff game,
who can't really afford those tickets, but loves the Dodgers
so much they spend that money, that's the person that
has something invested in this. The person getting paid thirty
five forty million dollars a year is not the person
that has a lot of investment in this. But yeah,
(09:32):
it was wild. I heard a lot of people say, Wow,
fans should not act like this. I didn't hear many
people say the Padre players should not have egg gone
to doctor Fans. I didn't hear many people say maybe
they missed that the video clips of to tease and
the others there that were igniting the fan base there
to tease and making sure everyone in the pavilion enjoyed
his junk as he highlighted it there. But that is
(09:55):
not something that jump started the boys in Blue. They
were zombies. It didn't wake them up. There was one
little incident that happened, and that was involving Jack Flaerty
speaking of that, the backsliding of the Dodgers. I was
on the radio the day of the trade deadline. I
was filling in locally on the Dodger radio station. I
(10:15):
do that occasionally, and the trade happened right at the deadline.
Dodgers got their their big starting pitcher from Detroit. How
would you describe the first Dodger postseason performance by Jack Flaherty.
So a lot of people were disillusioned, That's the word
I would use. Disillusioned that Flarity would step his game up,
(10:38):
big stage, big opportunity, and that was the move, That
was the signature move. The Dodgers made at the deadline.
They needed pitching. That's the guy they want. They went
and't got. And you think of this like Hollywood Squares,
that old show Hollywood Squares. Flarherty was in the center square.
He's an LA kid. Dodger Stadium Ballpark right there. You're
(10:59):
the tone setter, and you talk about putting the padres
up against it. The Dodgers win Game one, come from behind.
You got flarity on the mound for Game two, you're
the tone setter the whole thing. Send a message early,
shut the team down early on. And when you're the
home team, that first couple innings is so important, so
(11:19):
important for the starting pitcher to shut it down. And
what happened. Jack Flaherty went out there. Jack Flaherty was
the brand ambassador for Kingsford Charcoal lighter fluid, poured it
all over the mound and burn baby burn as he
poured it around there a demoralizing effort. It wasn't the
(11:40):
worst of the worst. He didn't get pulled like Kershaw
last year against Arizona, but in terms of what was
expected and what he did, it was a pathetic performance
by Jack Flaherty. Now, the good news is there is
no such thing as momentum doesn't exist. We know that
smart people know that, dumb people don't. There's no momentum,
(12:02):
and so it's just one ya, you'll flush it. As
Jalen Hurts said about the bad performance with the Eagles
a couple of years ago, you know, you drop a deuce,
you flush it, you move on, and you live to
fight another day.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
All right?
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Final point. We go to the eastern side of the
divisional round of the bracket in the National League, and
while the late games in the NFL were being played,
the Afhillies and the Mets went back and forth, and
for the Fighting Phills getting the full Philadelphia experience. Nick
Castellanos booed by the hometown fans there in Philadelphia earlier,
(12:34):
and he deserved it, ends up smacking the walk off
ribby single. He also had hit in the eighth inning
break through as well, and also just all around nice
ending there for the Fighting Fills. The Phills rally to
beat the Metropolitans and tie that series up at one one.
(12:54):
So who gets the blame for the Metropolitans blowing the lead?
Who gets the blame? So I'm gonna blame Timmy trumpet. Well,
the friend of Timmy Trumpet. Who's who I'm going to
blame now? Who is that? That would be uh Narco
as in Edwin Diaz the well he's a pitcher for
(13:14):
the Mets, and he likes that Timmy Trumpet song Narco
when he comes out of the bullp so postseason play.
So we have been told over the years baseball playoff activity,
it's a stepping stone opportunity, a chance to step your
game up, to prove the moment is not too big,
and all that matters is what you do in that
particular moment. Well ed when Diaz ended up soiling his
(13:36):
diaper in that moment, he did uh in no other
word to say it, and no if sands were abouts
about it.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Now.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
He did start out fine, he put out the fire
in the seventh inning, but then Diaz started a inferno,
a wildfire in the eighth inning, a lot of two run,
go ahead triple to Bryson's stott of the phill Is.
Look at Diez and Tyler McGill, who allowed to combine
(14:05):
four runs in the eighth and the ninth innings. But
the good news for the Mets is even though they
lost the game, and they should have probably won the game.
It doesn't matter. It's on brand for JD. Martinez in
the Mets. Right if they say we suck, we suck,
and let's suck, let's go suck together, let's go suck,
have fun sucking. And they did. They appeared to have
fun sucking me. They seemed like that a good time.
(14:27):
They were enjoying themselves and the boys sucked, and that's fine.
It's on brand for the Mets. All right is the
Ben Mahlor Show. If you would like to be part
of this, you can join us here, doesn't matter. The
show is gonna be terrible. We had a terrible first call,
but you can join the show if you want. Lines
are open also on X at Ben Mahllor. That's at
Ben Mahlor. So we had a home run taken away
(14:49):
from Mookie Betts of the Dodgers by Jerkson Profar. Now,
Jerkson Profar really like the environment at Dodger Stadium, appeared
to really enjoy it, but he really loved taking the
home run away. What exactly did he have to say
about that moment where he took the home run away.
We'll tell you. We'll get to that and we will
(15:12):
do it next.

The degree of difficulty, Yeah, degree of difficulty right up there.
Starting this hour, talking to Baseball, the National League Divisional
(16:33):
Series round is underway. Masso Mickey says, could you remind
us why you got banned from Dodger games?
Speaker 5 (16:43):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Yeah, because the Dodgers signed this guy from Japan and
apparently every media outfit in Japan is covering the Dodgers.
No room for the LA media. They've sold enough Dodger
dogs and jerseys and whatnot in La Masshole Mickey. They
want to sell and milk the people of Japan for
all their money. Apparently, Yeah, I think that would be
the That's that's what I've heard. I don't know, but
(17:05):
no room, no room. Og Art puffin right since says
a plus and a dog on the opening Moulton monologue,
but not a Dodger dog because they've been recalled on
account of cross contamination. That is a thirty eight year
old you darbish pitched a gem against the team he
failed in twenty seventeen. Grows some Cojones, Dodgers, everyone else
(17:28):
is well, I have forgiven you darbish. The a holes
were cheating. Baseball did not properly investigate that. They look
the other way at the Altuve buzzer. As we have discussed,
it is our opinion that there was a buzzer involved,
but also that if you were cheating at home, why
(17:49):
would you not do it on the road. So it
is more likely than not they were doing it everywhere,
and Baseball limited the damage. They left a lot of
what happened on the cutting room floor. Shall we say,
let's go to the phones, and we'll say hello to
Jed who fled, who is not dead. He is alive.
Hello Jed who fled as far as.
Speaker 2 (18:10):

giant Colgate commercial?
Speaker 1 (19:28):
You know, let's say hello to Jerome and Charleston. What's

Speaker 6 (19:53):
Batman? Batman? Hey, hey Ben, what do.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
You guess what are you complaining about today? What are
you complaining about today? You know how much they're playing
old Tani or the Dodgers and one one.
Speaker 6 (20:05):
Oh my god, you're talking about me complaining. Hey, the
Mets have a big appair over the Dots, and what

doesn't pitch or play al zeal or play the hand zeal.
He just slaps the bat jee He wasn't too effected today?
Can the too? But that does sound too good? Is
(20:27):
the series coming back to La Lamb?
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Is it the Dodgers to win both in San Diego?
There's no real home field advantage there. The Padre fans
have been terrible. We know that, so it wouldn't be
that hard to win there.
Speaker 6 (20:38):
I need to thank the Vandervil Kamodos for making my weekend,
probably making my whole college.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
You like that performance by Alabama? You like that, you
like that roll Tide, Roll Tie. I love the video.
I smiled when I saw the clip. We all saw it.
I was eving the blind people of the goal post
being taken through downtown Nashville. Uh, that is just it
looked like like ants carrying something. It was awesome. It
(21:07):
was wonderful to.
Speaker 6 (21:09):
Remind you that whole thing. Revenge is a dish vester
of cold. Oh it was so cold butter Yeah, Goo
Pabia the quarterback did nobody wanted? Where New Mexico State?
Where's that? Where's the Alpha country? Los Cruces? Where's that?
At Dan? Where's the Mexico State?
Speaker 1 (21:28):
It's on a map there, You're look at a map
and then there's not a lot in not a lot
in New Mexico. There's a lot of it you can't
live in because that's where they tested the nuclear bomb
in New Mexico. You can't really live in a lot
of New Mexico because there's still nuclear fallout in parts
of it.
Speaker 6 (21:46):
Hey make shaver, he won't have to run out on
the Dolphins now, he'd be running out on Alabama.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Next to Nick. He has all the answers on TV
and they just watch him on TV. He's got all
the answers there. Boys, he boring. My god, guy's got
a good resume because he sucks at TV.
Speaker 6 (22:02):
My god, Hey, I was listening to the to the
Alabama Apologist all week long. Massage now, Jillen Noro size
form and giving him a body massageist. Hey, he's my
number one heisman pitch. Well, hey, how do you let
the heisman?
Speaker 7 (22:19):
Now?
Speaker 6 (22:19):
You talk about an overrated award, I'm still striking a
damn heidsman talk every year. Oh, I got a Heisman war.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
You're right, the bigger award is the John R. Wooden Award.
By far, that is the most important award in all
of college sports. It is not the Heisman. The heisman
gets all his attention. It's an elitist award, the John R.
Wooden Award much more important than the Heisman.
Speaker 6 (22:44):
You're just being.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
No, I'm not being sarcastic at all. I truly believe
that Eddy doing. I don't believe that the John R.
Wooden Award is a more important award.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
I'm sure you do believe that. But yeah, it's also
I'm sure not a coincidence that you have a vote
for the Jen Wooden Award.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
I would never I would never be biased, be because
I actually helped the side who wins the John R.
Wooden Award. I would never never say, are you saying
wait a mane?
Speaker 4 (23:06):
Now?
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Jerome Jaden Daniels won the Heisman last year in Louisiana State.
Uh from botol Ruge. He appears to be he appears
to be pretty good with the Washington there four and one.
They're on top in the NFC East. I don't even
watch football, but that's pretty good.
Speaker 6 (23:21):
Hey, let me ask your questions that gives Jalen mil
Roads and will you'd be as big of a male
model as Bryce Young as.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
He got back in the game. By the way, Dalton got.
Speaker 6 (23:34):
Bench put the Trumphy wonner in. You'll bring us back? Yeah,
Jim Jayalen another Alabama quarterback that's a bust in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Are you feeling you're feeling okay? If you're feeling all right,
I saw Dave Canalis, the coach at Carolina's like, well,
Bryce Young played really well in garbage really, he played
really well in garbage time. Okay, congratulations, that's great.
Speaker 6 (24:04):
I got another question for you. Who's gonna be the
next game cart quarter I mean head coach because it's
not looking good here and they're up there in Columbia.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
Ben all right, Bill BELICHICKLS, Yeah, bring back the blue holes?
Where was Where's Steve Spurrier? How old is he?
Speaker 6 (24:25):
Ninety?
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Golf somewhere. Yeah, the old ball coach. Bring bring him around.
Speaker 6 (24:28):
There, Bill Belichick, the gamble. Maybe you'll have Kyree's next
to the defensive coordinator. Huh, the two Gambles, Bill, we
got on the gamb this weekend.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
I get out of here, Jerome, go go away. All right,
there's a buddy's Erome in Charleston. Bring it home. Jerome
always angry about something, and he calls in here and
just starts yapping away and screaming and shouting and and
all that wonderful stuff.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
Just just great.
Speaker 4 (24:57):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Fun Fact Time, fun fact, fun fact, fun fact, fun fact,
fun fact. Do you know, with one game left in
Week five, who the NFL leader in passer rating is
this season? Among all qualified quarterbacks. It is not justin fields.
It is not Dak Prescott. It is thirty nine year
(25:23):
old Joe Flacco, the NFL's passing raider rating leader one
hundred and fifteen point six passer rating. He has seventy
pass attempts. That is the minimum standard to qualify for
the leader Board or Bird Seventy pass attempts. So Joe
Flacco is number one top qualified quarterbacks in the NFL. Also,
(25:48):
watching the different games, I noticed the mandate here from
the NFL to get rid of guns, even fake guns,
your finger guns. We we had multiple penalties. There was
one in the Giant Seahawk game, one in the Colts
game against Jacksonville where players have been penalized for finger guns. See,
(26:14):
I just used one on Eddie. He didn't see it,
but I'm using my mom here. HR, you can find it,
let me know where they are. But I used the uh,
the finger gun on Eddie.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
And the NFL, Yeah, that will be tough for like
Texas Tech because I think that's their actual.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Like, uh, well they're not in the NFL last night,
but I'm just saying, but it is in college also.
We saw one of the college games I was watching.
Somebody did it in college football also and they got penalized.
But the NFL is a policy against violent gestures and
even suggesting that is offensive. And uh, an act that
is either violent or sexually suggestive is offensive. It can
(26:54):
be pushed. And what about baseball because I saw Fernandro
Tatisz was like a male stripper out in the outfield
of Dodger Stadium like that legal? Or is that allow
you can? Like I don't know, I'm asking are you
allowed to do that? Strutting around and all that having
a good time?
Speaker 3 (27:06):
Was it the what did you like to use to
say the pelvic f.
Speaker 7 (27:11):
That was?
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Yeah, you remember that. That was Cam Newton And that
was a woman wrote an op ed to the newspaper
somewhere in the South in Nashville and complained about the
chest puffs, the pelvic thrusts, and the arrogon struts of
Cam Newton and she was very upset by that. It
must be a fun woman to hang out with. But yeah,
(27:32):
that was years ago. Yeah, I used that line for
a long time. Bring it back, I say, we should
bring it back. Did well? That was Fernando Tatisa. People
have been sending me these clips from their cell phones
out in the pavilion at Dodger Stadium, and it's the
chest puffs, pelvic thrust, a lot of pelvic thrusts, and
he had the arrogon struck. He had all three of
those by the bing bout a boom one two three. So,
(27:53):
speaking of that game, Dodgers lose, Padres went big in
Game two. So it's one one, best of three, head
back to San Diego on Tuesday. Jerkson Profar, now you
probably weren't watching this game any but he took a
home run away from Mookie Bets and then did the
hoppity hop, the bunny hop. Yeah, he faked out the
(28:15):
Fox f s one graphic team that put the Dodgers
on the board. Didn't they also taked out Mookie Bets.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
Like at the in the stadium, didn't they like hit
the lights And I thought.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
It was it was all run and he held the moment,
he let it breathe and then he then he said, ah,
got ya Gotti, and he had the ball in the glove.
And so what the Dodgers have to do is they
have to lower the price of those tickets near the
foul pole so that some of the pavilion fans can
get over there, because they you try to do that
(28:47):
against the pavilion fans. All right, the hoodlums live out
in the pavilion at Dodger Stadium, and somebody would have
stolen Jerkson Profar's glove, would have taken it off his
hand and run up the aisleway there at Dodger stating,
but Jersey and Profile the Padres said it felt like
an NBA game, you know, when you're you're dunking on
(29:08):
guys talking about taking the home run away from Mookie
Bets playoff Mookie now op is last twenty two in
postseason play Mookie Bets. I guess three hundred and sixty
five million dollars can get you some playoff hits. Let's
say hello to Hollering James who was in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Hello,
Hollering James.
Speaker 8 (29:29):
Hollering James is on the air, and he finally got
through to Ben Maller. Ben Maller, I got a lot
to talk about it.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Who's Ben Maler? I don't know who that is? My links,
Oh my god, you're Lynks lost? Oh man?
Speaker 8 (29:46):
What about my Gophers?
Speaker 1 (29:48):
I saw the Gophers. That was a nice win there,
or I don't know. You celebrate beating scy sc loses
to everybody. I wouldn't celebrate beating the Trojans, the men
of Troy. They're not very manly.
Speaker 8 (30:00):
Ja needed a Trojan when he met Nicole Brown Simpson
Jos in the week.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
I don't think that would have mattered James. I don't,
in fact, you might have said that OJ acted like
a trojan with his sword that night. That might have
been the problem there.
Speaker 8 (30:22):
Over the week, Bet, I got a question for you,
Sam Donald, who is her body? Was?
Speaker 6 (30:31):
Well?
Speaker 1 (30:31):
That looked like more of my my memory of Sam Donald.
I saw the highlights of that game, and I looked
at the box score. I said, that's the Sam Donald.
I remember, that's the guy that played for the Jets.
Less than fifty percent of his pass is complete, averaging
less than six yards per pass, and just just blah,
just and he still won the game. Even with him
(30:53):
playing like dog pooh. They still won the.
Speaker 8 (30:54):
Game the Vikings because.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
He was having no They won the game because Aaron
Rodgers handed them the game. That's why he hates it.
I would I don't want the game. Here's the game.
I was the first touchdown of the game. What was
the first touchdown? That's right, A picked six. Aaron Rodgers
threw an interception return for a touchdown. That's not a
(31:22):
big word, James. Stellar is not a big word.
Speaker 8 (31:26):
Now.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
How much is stellar worth in in scrabble? I know
that we're not, but I want to know how much
the word scrabble is not worth much?
Speaker 8 (31:45):
About Nazi.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
My boy, he doesn't know who I am. Trust me,
he had no idea who I am?
Speaker 8 (31:58):
What my persicular damion job? Take the world back, Donald Trump,
come back?
Speaker 1 (32:07):
Okay, all right, j can I go?
Speaker 4 (32:10):
Now?

Speaker 1 (33:36):
Well Mallard of third degree. That'll be coming up in
a little bit, but right now it is time for
the instad trivia. Blank is an NFL starting quarterback who
is just three and twenty eight in his career. When
his team allows more than sixteen points, I never played
in the NFL, but I think that blows. I see.
Speaker 7 (33:56):
Who do we have?
Speaker 1 (33:57):
Daniel Jones, Dandy Dimes Yes by Ike and Roeville, Minnesota.
Cowboy Killer says it has to be future face of
the NFL. Bo Nicks, Steve Spurrier from I forty Ian
driving his big rig around? Who else we have? Page
down Mark from Queen says Jacoby Brissett. Rough Day he says,
(34:18):
only get a big head, but you're you to get
a big head, but you're hilarious. Well, thank you well.
The Patriots almost beat the Dolphins in the final seconds
almost a foot half a foot didn't get it done
there at the end, saving the prosterity of the number
one pick in the draft for the Patriots. The Dreams
of the number one pick, Alf the Alien Opiner says
(34:39):
Elvis Presley, It's good photo Alf. Alf always finds good folks.
The dog Face Gremlin, Rick Sneiner from Rob in Vegas,
Tom Brady's bowel Movements from Steve aka Stevie Meatballs, Charles Woodson,
Who's forty eight Today? From The Late Night Drug Tister,
Josh Allen by Justin and Cincinnati. Thomas Landry from Donkeys Sausage.
(35:05):
Who else do we have? Page now? Mister Unlimited Andy
from lion O Lakes. That's his answer, Who else do
we have? Super Marcus? Steve says, I hate getting these
questions right because you always accused me of cheating, and
then he cheated. Do you have an answer? Do you
have an answer? Do I need an answer? The again?
The question of the hour blank is an NFL starting
(35:28):
QB three and twenty eight when his team allows more
than sixteen points?
Speaker 3 (35:33):
Is it justin fields?
Speaker 1 (35:34):
Is it justin fields? Is that the correct that that
is the correct answer, justin fields? Who you endorsed? Eddy?
You endorse the guy who's three and twenty eight up
more than sixteen points?
Speaker 4 (35:46):
And no?
Speaker 1 (35:46):
Ninety seven? Buzz I want to hear a third degree?
All right, that's what I want? How about that?
Speaker 4 (35:51):
To the third degree?
Speaker 6 (35:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (35:53):
I know this is one big ben gets quilled.
Speaker 7 (35:58):
So it was reported over the weekend that Adams should
be ready to play next week. Do you think he'll
still be with the team by that point?
Speaker 1 (36:06):
The Raiders actually should hold on to Devonte Adams right
up until the deadline. You drive up the price, get
the Bills all horny, and these other teams all horny
for Devonte Adams, and then you trade him at the
very last minute, and maybe somebody's dumb enough to send
you a second round pick for Devonte Adams.
Speaker 7 (36:23):
So yes, I would wait and drive up the price.
Next the TMZ caught up with Mark Sanchez. He said
he does not believe that the Jets should fire Robert
Sala and they should just let the season play out.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
Do agree with him. I think way they should do
is move Robert Salerd to the head of the cheerleading department,
is what they ought to do, because he's like essentially
a cheerleader on the sidelines there. I don't think he's
actually coaching, at least if he is, he's doing a
terrible job. But no, they're gonna get rid of everybody.
This goes the way it's going for the Jets, Rogers
will be gone, everyone will be gone next.
Speaker 7 (36:51):
The report said that the reason Lebron came to Los
Angeles is because how the Lakers treated Kobe Bryant during
the final seasons of his career. Lebron refeted the report
so that he wanted to help Genie win championships. Ben,
do you believe the report now? He came to LA
because of all the movie studios. He wanted to be
in entertainment. You come to LA to get into entertainment.
That's why he's full of crap. Lebron, how do we
know you fail us? That is a win, a win,
(37:15):
just like the Cowboys won the game.
