Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
It's our numbber two as we slide into our two
in this Monday on the podcast, The Original Recipe Podcast
with Me Ben, Aaron Boone reached out to the Mets
manager there in New York with the Yankees upset with
the former Yankee Luis Severino, who said that the Bronx
(00:23):
Bombers only have two good hitters. We'll discuss our reaction
to that. Also, the A's have confirmed they have zero
financing for the proposed Las Vegas Stadium. How is Major
League Baseball allowing them to move without that financing? And
the Dodgers swept the Red Sox over the weekend? Was
(00:44):
just a big deal, a little deal or no deal.
We'll get to all that and more right now. Give
it up here. It is our number two of the pod,
A bit of a Bronx boot ha ha.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
If you will welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
In the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mather Show.
We are in the air everywhere, talk mates, as we
get down to business here coast to coast, border, the
border and beyond on the vast and herculeanly powerful microphones
of FSR emmunating live from the wash the mouthwash of
(01:24):
guts baggery. We are broadcasting live from the tierraq dot
com studios. Tyrack dot com will help you get there

and over ten thousand recommended installers. Fer Dog thanked me
ten thousand times for sending down the show rundown tyraq
(01:46):
dot com. The way tire buying should be talking baseball here.
Story that's been percolating over the weekend. It cut my attention.
And we'll start out in the Big Apple. The New
York teams will be playing this week, starting tomorrow into Monday,
so starting on Tuesday here, and a lot of this
(02:07):
has been playing out in the public square.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
There's been some wrangling going on, and that.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Raises alarm bells when you do a sports talk radio show.
So I'll give you the basics. I'm not gonna get
into all the minutia. But the Yankee manager Aaron Boone
reached out to the New York Mets manager Carlos Mendoza.
All of this related to comments made by a pitcher
for the Metropolitans named Luis Severino, who he said over
(02:35):
the weeks he was having some fun busting chops and
he said that the Yankee lineup.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Has two good hitters. That's it.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
And so that quote, when you say that to the
tabloids in New York, that quote got blown out of proportion.
And the Severna also spent almost ten years pitching for
the Yankees. He was toiling on the mound in the
Bronx and he said this talking to some Yankee players
and then repeat it to the meeting. He said, right now,
you only have two good hitters. Now several Reno's not
(03:03):
going to pitch, he's gonna be absent from the upcoming
Subway series. But the thing that's interesting here is the
Aaron Boone part of this. That Aaron Boone reached out
to Carlos Mendoza. So let us discuss the question the
Yankee skipper, Aaron Boone contacting his contemporary across the city
(03:25):
there with the Mets and upset by the commentary, seemingly
upset by the commentary of Luis Severino saying the Yankees
only have two only two good hitters. Where you're at
on this one. So I've got Billy Graham, dressing room
and punch bowl, and we will combine all of these
things together and we're going to make a wild That
(03:49):
listener in Montana said they were gonna send me. This
came up last hour, the Montana mascot, and the listener
has said they're gonna send me a Montana Grizzlies hat.
So I don't have that in my vast collection of hats.
I'm wearing the poutine hat. By the way, this is
the poutine hat. My love of poutine, and it's the salad.
It's the only satellite I really like. It's the Canadian salad.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
So anyway, number wa.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
All right, so let me just get this off the top.
This is a new low for Aaron Boone. Aaron Boone
who continues to toil away as the Yankee manager despite
ineptitude in the postseason, sometimes even the regular season, and like,
what are you doing here? Because one of those what
are you doing situations? For Aaron Boone, it is emasculating.
(04:40):
It's also here's the other thing, and we bring this up.
These stories have happened from time to time. I understand
that Mendoza and Boone are friends, and that the Mets
manager used to work for the Yankees.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
I get all that.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
I understand that dynamic. Nevertheless, the fact that this guy
out there. It is emasculating, is what it is, right,
and it's empowering because you've empowered the words Louis Severino
that he upset you enough, as Aaron Boone, the manager
of the Yankees, that you reached out to the other manager,
which tells you that the Mets pitcher Severino is like
(05:12):
a modern day Billy Graham.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Right, he's preaching the gospel. He's not wrong. Now, last
I checked, which was heading into.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
The weekend, and I don't know if this changed over wet,
but the Yankees had two guys. They had Aaron Judge
and Juan Soto. Those are the only two guys that
had more than ten home runs other than Jean Carlos Stanton.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
So you essentially have on one side you've got Soto,
on the other side, you've got Aaron Judge, and then
you've got Barney to the Dinosaur and Elmo and those
type of characters in the lineup. It's another example, these
are not your daddy's Yankees. Imagine the old days, Like
I'm gonna have the Yankee manager contact the other manager,
(05:51):
upset because of Christma, who cares what Luis Severino says
you've empowered his words. Now page two, we go to Vegas.
We talked a lot last hour about Vegas. You know,
a Malard meet and greet in Las Vegas August third, Saturday.
So still a couple weeks away, almost two full weeks
away from the Malor meet and greet in Vegas. Details
on social media. But this is a crazy story that
(06:11):
did not get enough of attention.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
So I wanted to.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Put the highlighter on this story. So I read that
during a recent presentation between folks from the Athletics and
the Las Vegas Stadium Authority. I don't even know what
that is, it sounds important, but the Las Vegas Stadium Authority,
the Athletics have confirmed that there is currently no financing
(06:35):
in place for their one point five billion dollars ballpark
right in the heart of the strip in Vegas. Net
me repeat that for those of you who are in
the back of the room. We're not talking about just
a shortfall here. We're not talking about, hey, we need
a little extra money here the Athletics. This is from
the Athletics, the people that work for the Major League
(06:57):
Baseball team. There is no financing to pay for the venue.
Zero that's what they said. Those aren't my words, that's
their words. Now keep in mind part of this process
or process depending on how you say the word where
you grew up. But the A's have confirmed they have
zero financing. They also would like three hundred and eighty
(07:19):
million dollars in a subsidy, a taxpayer handout from the
taxpayers of Nevada to finance the stadium. Now they've already
closed the Tropicana, they've started the demolition from what I
understand on the Tropic Canna, that's where the ballpark's going
to be. And yet zero financing to build the one
point five billion dollar ballpark.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
How does that happen?
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Right?
Speaker 1 (07:45):
And that's really the question.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
How is Major League Baseball allowing this to continue without finance?
So this is one of those stories. You go to
the dressing room. Okay, you go into the dressing room,
you put on the fuzzy red nose, you put on
the oversized shoes and the clown makeup because it's Boso show.
It is an absolute Boso show. Now, if this is
(08:07):
true what has been reported, if it's accurate, that would
mean that Major League Baseball is allowing the Athletics to
leave Oakland, a place they've been since the nineteen sixties,
and go to Sacramento in the Twilight Zone. But remember,
you're not allowed to say they're the Sacramento is because
(08:27):
that's for boating.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
You're not allowed to do it.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
And they won't put Sacramento on the uniforms. Are gonna
play a minor league ballpark in the capital of California,
and that's it. And essentially, the way I read it,
they're waiting on a wing and a prayer that the
money's going to appear, and that the gambling people that
made them all kinds of promises will come up with money,
which I makes sense, but it doesn't. The fact that
(08:51):
they're moving already doesn't pass the smell test.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
It just doesn't.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Either the A's are fibbing that they just didn't want
to give the information out when they spoke to this
stadium group in Vegas last week, or Rob Manford, a
good punching bag on this show, is just a bigger
jackwagon than we thought he was. And with the whole
letting the Astros cheat and all that stuff, getting away
(09:18):
with it and endorsing it, it's insane, all right. Final point,
So we'll go to baseball where we'll say in baseball
rather where shohey O'tani's Doyers swept Jaron Duran's Red Sox.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Good afternoon, good evening, and good night.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
They had the showcase game, Big Game on Saturday, National TV.
Friday Night was a big game. All the games were
showcased around baseball. So the Dodgers get the sweep. They
played miserable baseball going into the All Star Break. They
had lost I think six to seven, but they get
to sweep over Boston.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Is this a big deal, a little deal.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
Or no deal?
Speaker 1 (09:55):
The Dodgers sweeping the Red Sox.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
So for the Dodgers, I'm gonna say it's no deal,
even though they needed a better because they'd been playing
like rotting Pooh for a good stretch of time.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
So it's nice.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
But it's no deal for them because they're they're going
to be judged solely on what they do in the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Playoffs. It's all about what they do in the postseason.
All this other stuff.
Speaker 5 (10:14):
Eh.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
I think they've had record breaking regular seasons and then
gone belly up in the fetal position and all that
in the playoffs, so that doesn't matter. It's it's it's
all about the postseason. The Red Sox. Oh, it's a
big deal.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
So from the Boston side of things, it's a big deal.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
We talked about this a few weeks back in previous
episodes of the show, like the Red Sox have been
an overachieving team. They were supposed to be essentially flatulence
this year. They were not supposed to be anything more
than a gaseous mass that they were not going to contain.
And then they're a contender for a wild card berth
(10:52):
in the American League.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Right now.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
They've overachieved, They've outperformed expectations. And so there was a
grassroots movement led by alf the alien, O Pinter and
Andrea and the Commonwealth and some other people for the
Red Sox to convince John Henry, the owner there, to say,
all right, we're gonna be buyers. We're gonna try to
improve the team. The trade deadline is coming up here
(11:14):
at the end of July, and so they try to
improve the team. We're less than ten days away from
the Baseball trade deadline now. But here we are at
this point, this fork in the road, and now the
brass in Boston can say, well, wait a minute here,
like the front office and say, I told you, See,
I told you that the team's not that good. They
can't compete with the Dodgers. Even though the Red Sox
(11:35):
blew multiple leads. I think they leads in every game.
I know they had leads in the first two and
in this game too, So they had leads in every
game and bleue them. And now the front office, all right,
we're gonna take the off ramp here and we'll point
out all the flaws and the roster. And as the
season goes on, we're in the dog days of the
baseball season. These guys are gonna start having more and
(11:56):
more issues as it gets harder and harder to win,
and you have to live up to expectations, and so
they're just not good enough, which would mean rather than
ad players, the Red Sox likely will be putting a
for sale sign up and they open up the garage
and have a garage sale. It is the Ben Maeler Show.
If you'd like to be part, you can join us
here speak easy rules are in effect and the lines
(12:18):
are all full.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Anyway, we'll get to some of.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
These some big names, big name callers on this show
lined up and don't forget the Malor Palooza. We mentioned
this last hour, but next week Inka Terror is signed up,
classically trained musician Inco Terror from New York.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
He will be our celebrity judge. He's back this year.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
We're excited about that and if you'd like to enter,
If we don't have enough contestants, we won't do it.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
So we need people to sign up for this.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
If you want to sing, you wanna do a comedy
routine and a personation. We's got some really good impersonation
people on here. If you do animal sound effects, that's
always a good bit. If you're a human cannonball, I
don't know that that would play on radio. It's got
to be radio friendly. If it's not ready for like,
puppets don't really work. It's tough to do puppets, right, Lorena.
(13:05):
It's hard to do the puppet thing.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Could you imagine someone showing a sign language? Yeah, that would.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
I'm surprised nobody's tried that over the years. So anyway,
that'll be coming up a week from today. Malar Palooza
twenty twenty four. We are very excited about that. A
canceled figure in sports, somebody that was sent to a
Siberian prison has been let out. Somebody that got canceled

from from coast to coast, and then it became he
talked about we talked about UFOs Kem trails. We talked
you know, I mean, you name it, and I was
(16:38):
trying to get as crazy. I thought, well, I'll just
I'll throw Alex off his game. I'll throw some crazy
stuff out there. And he had an answer to everything.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
He can go for hours. He can go for hours

Speaker 2 (16:49):
I mean, it's craziness, but uh it meant for an
interesting podcast. So check that out Fifth Hour podcast. I've
got a lot of reaction from the the knuckleheads who
like it.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Up in the queues.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Is he on isle seven right now? He says eight
plus on the Mallard monologue. I get to hear the
show tonight without having to listen to any whining at work.
The two cry babies I usually have to deal with
are both sidelined with COVID. All right, well, good news, Chip,
you can you can harass us throughout the show. And
I see Sirius Sean sending random vacation photos.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Let's go to the phones. We'll say hello to tiger
Man in Utah. Hello, tiger Man, tiger Man.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
I played the tiger sound effects the tiger's sleeping. Did
the tiger fall asleep? I don't hear the tiger snoring?
Oh he was going to give us some baton rouge
lsu proper game. Well, thank you, tiger man called themr.
Let's sayllo to Andre, who's in the Commonwealth. Hello, Andre,
what's going on there?
Speaker 1 (17:54):
He is? He's right there. Look at that. Andre's there.
He never lets me down. Andre's always there.
Speaker 9 (17:59):
Yeah, I'm here. You know, it's the summertime. It's the
right time in tours.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Are you walking the dog right now?
Speaker 7 (18:05):
No?
Speaker 9 (18:05):
Willis, we we we we already went out for our exercise.
So Willis is actually getting old snooze in, you know.
But we do go for the night night walks. Recently,
it's been more like laps, you know what I mean,
just letting the you know, I put the leash on
him and then we do kind of laps around the
house and you know, it's almost like a track, you
know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
You're doing in there? You know you're not going outside.
You're doing indoors. Huh No, no outside, Okay, I thought.
Speaker 9 (18:30):
Reversing all over in the neighborhood. You see, because Willis
I think I might have mentioned this. You know, German
shepherd in black labs. He's a rescue from Georgia. So
he's a malinof And I know what the heck that meant?
That those are the K nine dogs, you know what
I mean, Like he's a war dog. The point of
fact is, you know, if I have to let him
a little bit off the leash when we're in the neighborhood,
he's going and if he if he smells a dog
in the house, he's going right up to that house
(18:52):
and waking that dog up. We're waking the family up.
And we can't have that bend.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
It's a liability. It's a liability. You don't need that, I.
Speaker 9 (18:59):
Understand we need so we keep it close to home now. Uh,
you know, but we already we've already we've already achieved that.
Speaking of the LSU Tigers, the previous caller, a good
friend of mine, a buddy, visited l s U. Apparently
there's like six they have like six or seven tigers.
It's like they don't just have the one tiger when
you walk into the stadium, which is that, which is enough,
but then they like memorialize the previous tigers that have
(19:21):
had that role, you know, and.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
They are there. There's stuffed tigers there.
Speaker 9 (19:26):
No an actual tiger.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
No, I know they're real tigers, but I'm saying when
they die, they don't live that long. When they die,
do they stuff them?
Speaker 9 (19:33):
No, but like they put them on like a plaque,
like a wall of honor for like the previous, the.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Greatest, the greatest tigers.
Speaker 9 (19:39):
Of them all right there, But LSU was win of
the champions.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Tigers lived longer though.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Like the Georgia bulldogs, they have a live bulldog maskot
bulldogs don't live very long.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
They have to go through a lot of bulldogs there.
Speaker 9 (19:54):
I'm not sure what the tradition is in Georgia, but
I did have a referee, a brother referee was down
in ls U, and he told that story about you know,
how to prop them up, and it's a whole big
to do. So'll wander for the ben. I want to
go back to the lead, and I've taken up some time,
but I want to get back, you know, on the
point big football season coming up, you know what I mean,
We're not well. I want to stay in July as
(20:14):
long as possible, being a tourists have but when we
break through to August. It's all football all the time.
You mentioned the Cowboys New England Patriots Ben Gerard Mayo.
I am pulling for him. Nonetheless, he's got his work
cut out for him. We can't. So that's very interesting storyline.
No way, I'm not gonna say no way because I'm
coming up. I don't want to, you know, but it's
going to be difficult for the Patriots to break break
through and make the playoffs and just to be competitive
(20:36):
in the AFC East, right no more AFC least like
the AFC East. It's a competitive conference. Buffalo is not
going anywhere. We know what Miami can do, and Aaron
Rodgers should play more than three snaps, you know, So
it's going to you know, So that's the storyline that
I'm They.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Don't have any playmag and how are you going to
score points?
Speaker 1 (20:54):
The Patriots.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
They're going to have to do these long, methodical drives
with Jacoby Brissett at least the start the year until
Drake may takes.
Speaker 9 (21:01):
Over, until Drake is ready. But to the point with
that man, and I'm looking forward to Benny versus de
Penny coming back. You know for the football season. You're
gonna be doing NBC Sports.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
I'm looking for nothing, nothing to announce on that yet,
but hopefully he'll be back.
Speaker 9 (21:15):
They need to get their mind writing and bring it
on back. You know that they know that they know
what's good for me if I had to make some
calls them to do it. But the bottom line is this,
they actually have Patriots and you can believe this, an
actual offensive coordinator and Alex van peltin Gerrard Mayo is
not playing these like mind games and we're going to
try to bring up special teams person and Matt Patrick. No, no,
you've got somebody there.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
No, but Alex Pels. You see what he did in Cleveland.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
He's never good and so far his resume is not
particularly good on what he's accomplished. He is an offensive coordinator,
but they don't have any playmakers. Who's there was Kendrick
Bourne still the number one receiver for the Patriots.
Speaker 9 (21:52):
All right, so they have to staff up. I get
that point, but I'm just saying there is like an
actual It's like not Bill Belichick trying it. By the way,
Bill Belli, who knows what he's doing with his own
personal life now.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
He needs I think we know what he's doing right
now in his personal life. It's been well chronicled in
the tabloids. He's having it. He's living his greatest life
right now. Is that going to be you, Andre when
you're older? Is that you gonna be like Belichick when
you get to that age?
Speaker 9 (22:14):
Actually, no, I'm gonna not retire. And because that's an
actual example of what life versus and bet Bill Belichick
needs football at the point he needs to get it
behind back to football. Stop all the full stiff Gerard
Mail and the Patriots they actually have. I'm confident in
the coaching staff. You're right about the roster, and I'm
pulling for them to be competitive. They're not making the playoffs,
but I'd like to see them get six, seven, maybe
eight wins and then build.
Speaker 10 (22:36):
For next year.
Speaker 9 (22:36):
I think it's going to be an interesting narrative in
storyline once we get into football. Bennett, Oh, thanks so
much for taking the call, and we're looking forward to
Betty versus all.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Right, well, well hopefully hopefully we'll have a big announcement.
Speaker 4 (22:47):
Who knows.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
All right, Thank you there he is, Andre, Thank you
from the Commonwealth. It is the Bain Maler Show. As
we continue on and on. We have Mallard of the
third degree coming up in a little bit. But did
you know that Tom Brennanman is back. Remember Tom brennan really, yes,
the former announcer. He was like the big announcer at
(23:09):
Fox for years and he did the broadcast of the
Cincinnati Reds And Tom Brenneman is returning to college football broadcasting.
But it's gonna be on the c W, but it's
a national broadcast of college football.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
I actually know a guy who works in the w
W sports department.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
Oh really, okay, higher up guy too.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Brennanman is really good, Like he's really good at play
by play, but there's usually at other stuff because.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
You're like trying to look at me.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
You gotta look at.
Speaker 4 (23:43):
In front of us.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Well, I know.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
But it's the problem with Brenneman. Is anything happens, it's
people go back to what he said. That was in
Kansas City, right, it was in Kansas City, I think
it was. I don't remember the Royals Reds game and
he made a homophobic slur during the game and all that.
But he's returning to Nash broadcasting starting this college football season,
which is like a month and some few days away.
Speaker 4 (24:06):
I'll have to text my button.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Yeah, get the inside skinny on that. But Breneman's coming back.
He's back now.
Speaker 6 (24:12):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
And Golf, Xander Sharply wins the one hundred and fifty
second Open Championship by two strokes. He has now won
two majors, both this year, and he's the sixth player
ever to win both.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
Tiger make it home or did he? Did he have
to stay?
Speaker 4 (24:29):
I know is he didn't make the weekend.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
I know that he left.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
When we left on Friday, the Internet was all down
worldwide and there was true planes weren't flying.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
Because he has his own plane and he could fire around.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
It doesn't matter if you have your own planes. The
Internet is. If anything's tied to the Internet, your screw.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
I thought that had to do with, like, you know,
reservations and things like that. If you have your own plane,
whether you care of the Internet.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Because the plane still uses the Internet, the communication.
Speaker 4 (24:57):
All the planes flew before we had the invention of
the Internet.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Bill, I understand, but now it's all Internet. A lot
of its Internet based almost all his Internet. I'm just
telling you what I read, all right.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
I assume Tiger made it safe inside. I would probably
be in the news if he did.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Not, say is that you're done?
Speaker 4 (25:14):
I know you want something else?
Speaker 1 (25:15):
No, I got a fun fact. I want to give
my fun.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Fact courtesy of Alf the Alien OPO.

Speaking of Alf, what's that? What happened?
Speaker 1 (25:25):

Speaker 4 (25:34):
They found him dead in his car.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
So that's a fun fact, Garcia.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
Fun when you brought up Alf, and then Coop is
a child child?
Speaker 1 (25:49):
A guy that contributes content to the show is.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Alf the pineer Yeah, Field Mass so he's very much
alive kid from ALF.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Come on, I mean that's about Alf, like the bit.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
No, No, there was a little kid that was in
the show. I'll google it. Alf is a puppet.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
But they did they die of He's not a little
kid anymore.
Speaker 4 (26:09):
He was in He found him dead in his car.
Oh really with his dog too?
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Oh well, at least the dog didn't need him dog.
Speaker 4 (26:18):
Probably.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Well, I'm not going to go okay, all right, very nice.
They hit it again. I want to cleanse the air.
Was hit that again?
Speaker 6 (26:25):
Malor fun fact.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Alf said this one.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
If you spent one day on each of the islands
in the Philippines, it would take you almost twenty one
years to visit them all.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Is that not a fun fact. That's a fun fact.
That's a lot of islands.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
You'd be twenty one years.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
No, I didn't. It was sporty going from island. Ie.
You gotta be in a boat. I'll give you hit
it again. I'll give you a sporty go Ahe hit
it again?
Speaker 6 (26:49):
Malor fun fact.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
Also from Alf, Jim Palmer, guy that was an underwear
model back and they used to pitch for the ball
broadcasting for I believe he has some games. Yeah, remember
he ripped Angel Hernandez.
Speaker 4 (27:01):
Earlier this season. He didn't line for that one anyway.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Jim Palmer pitched nearly four thousand innings in Baltimore in
his career.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
He never gave up a grand.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Slam or back to back home runs. That's my fun
fact right there. Let's go back to the phones. We'll
say hello to Let's see here. Let's say hello to
Andrea in Berkeley. She's got her star charts out. The
full moon after goo called the afterglow, right, Andrea, the
(27:31):
astrology lady, the afterglow.
Speaker 10 (27:34):
Yes, yeah, a nice way to put it. Just a
good reminder that you feel the full moon. I always say,
it's you know, not very uh romantic to liken it
to a cold but it's like two days before the
day of and two days after, so we're sort of
in the afterglow peak of the full moon experience. And
(27:57):
it was a super moon. It was very close to Earth,
and we're still feeling the effects, and you know, it's
kind of a good time. You know, emotions run a
little more intense. You might know. Bob Milvin got ejected
just talking.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
I saw that before the game.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
He was having a casual conversation with the umpires and
they said whatever he said the magic word, they kicked
his ass out.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
As you get out of here, you're done.
Speaker 10 (28:20):
Yeah, apparently you can't bring up something that happened the
day before, and he was ejected before the game even started.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
That's also that's what Earl Weaver used to do.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
That's an outdated reference, but he's the Orioles back in
the day and he did stuff like that.
Speaker 10 (28:34):
Interesting. Yeah, so you know it just makes just makes
emotions more intensified, and it's just good to be aware
of that energy and to kind of focus it into
some good affirmation.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
Which moon was this one again? What was the name?
Speaker 10 (28:47):
That was the full buck moon?
Speaker 1 (28:49):
The buck moon? Yes, with a B buck correct buck moon.
Speaker 10 (28:52):
Yes, which is when the timing of it, the new
antlers of the buck and gear shout of their foreheads
and it creates this velvety fur. It's the it's a
Native American tribe.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
Well, that actually happens to Jetu Fled every other Wednesday
out in the swamp lands of Florida.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
That happens to him.
Speaker 10 (29:15):
So you know that's you know how much we like
the old farmer's almanacs.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
We love the farmers all right.
Speaker 4 (29:21):
No Internet.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
They did all that without the internet, the geniuses.
Speaker 10 (29:24):
Yeah, so that's uh.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
They couldn't go to Wikipedia. They had to do it
on their own.
Speaker 10 (29:29):
So that's just, you know, really good to know that
we feel the energy before, during, and after. And it
was July twenty first at three seventeen am when it peaked,
so we got the sun going in you know, Capri
Horn cancer. Then we got the sun going into Leo
for all your Leos out there, So just know for
(29:52):
your zodiac it's good to have some positive affirmations and
emotions get intensified, to kind of go with the flow. Win.
Know this too shall pass, but it's a good time
to focus your emotions and the some meditations that you
can do. You can expand your horizons. Mind, body, and
spirit are limitless like the sky. That's nice.
Speaker 4 (30:16):
Oh yeah, that unbelievable.
Speaker 10 (30:18):
Mind in spirit are limitless like the sky. So expanding
your horizons, pursuing new adventures.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
Who was taking notes right now in this you know
that to be.
Speaker 10 (30:30):
A malor palooza in Berkeley, Ben what we have.

it the Kingfish or something like that at the bar?
I forget the name of it. Yeah, he offered it.
Speaker 10 (30:54):
I could figure that out because I know you just
talked about the one in Las Vegas.

the Bay.

Speaker 4 (36:52):
I'm gonna go with Ron Lafleur.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
Ron Lafleur. Is that your final answer?
Speaker 4 (36:56):
Ready? Yes?
Speaker 1 (36:57):
Eddie? You are wrong? You got it wrong, bad Jebbi.
The correct answer is John Mayberry. John Mayberry with the Royals.
Speaker 4 (37:06):
And the Yankees.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
And the end of his career, though he played mostly
for the Royals and the Blue Jays, I believe played
with the Yankees a little bit. They here we go,
Here we go, here we got smeller. How about that?
Speaker 6 (37:18):
To the third degree, This is one big fan gets cruel.
Speaker 8 (37:25):
The Arizona Diamondbacks have been surging a bit lately, and
now their GM Mike Hazen says that the team will
be buyers at the trade deadline. Is that the right
move Arizona.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
Yes, they put last year.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
They weren't very good last year, and they got to
the freaking World Series.
Speaker 1 (37:39):
So yes that in baseball it's kind of like hockey.
Same thing in hockey.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
You see teams that aren't supposed to be that good
that that end up going far. Yeah, if you're the
Arizona Diamondbacks, you just went on a run. You weren't
supposed to make the World Series you did. Why would
you not add players? Of course you should if you
look at the Diamondbacks and they're not as good talent
wise as the Phillies or the but they weren't last
year either.
Speaker 8 (38:02):
Next, a team on the opposite end of that spectrum
is the Toronto Blue Jays. Toronto has the fourth worst
record in the AL and it seems obvious that they
will be sellers.
Speaker 1 (38:10):
Ben.
Speaker 8 (38:10):
Do you think they offload Laguerreo Junior, Bobaschett or both.
Speaker 2 (38:14):
So my money is that they do trade one of them,
but not both. So I'm gonna go with Bob Bashett
as the one they trade because they will get a
lot of crap if they trade Vladdie Guerrero Junior because
he's more popular. Although neither one of them has played
particularly well this season, the Guerrero last I checked, was.
Speaker 1 (38:30):
Coming on a little bit more now. For the purpose
of the show, I'd like to see both of them
traded next.
Speaker 8 (38:35):
That's been reported this weekend that JJ McCarthy would have
to play lights out to start over Sam Donald. Ben,
do you think there's a chance that they don't start
McCarthy at all this season?
Speaker 2 (38:44):
Well, that would be That would be ridiculous, that would
be malpractice. What's the point the rookie contract? This should
he's gotta play Sam? We're talking about Sam Donald, Coop,
this is Sam Efan Donald.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
What do we do? Yes, McCarthy's gonna play multiple games.
How do we know you pass at all?
Speaker 5 (39:00):
The boy w
Hello and welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
It's our numbber two as we slide into our two
in this Monday on the podcast, The Original Recipe Podcast
with Me Ben, Aaron Boone reached out to the Mets
manager there in New York with the Yankees upset with
the former Yankee Luis Severino, who said that the Bronx
(00:23):
Bombers only have two good hitters. We'll discuss our reaction
to that. Also, the A's have confirmed they have zero
financing for the proposed Las Vegas Stadium. How is Major
League Baseball allowing them to move without that financing? And
the Dodgers swept the Red Sox over the weekend? Was
(00:44):
just a big deal, a little deal or no deal.
We'll get to all that and more right now. Give
it up here. It is our number two of the pod,
A bit of a Bronx boot ha ha.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
If you will welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
In the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mather Show.
We are in the air everywhere, talk mates, as we
get down to business here coast to coast, border, the
border and beyond on the vast and herculeanly powerful microphones
of FSR emmunating live from the wash the mouthwash of

and over ten thousand recommended installers. Fer Dog thanked me
ten thousand times for sending down the show rundown tyraq
(01:46):
dot com. The way tire buying should be talking baseball here.
Story that's been percolating over the weekend. It cut my attention.
And we'll start out in the Big Apple. The New
York teams will be playing this week, starting tomorrow into Monday,
so starting on Tuesday here, and a lot of this
(02:07):
has been playing out in the public square.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
There's been some wrangling going on, and that.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Raises alarm bells when you do a sports talk radio show.
So I'll give you the basics. I'm not gonna get
into all the minutia. But the Yankee manager Aaron Boone
reached out to the New York Mets manager Carlos Mendoza.
All of this related to comments made by a pitcher
for the Metropolitans named Luis Severino, who he said over
(02:35):
the weeks he was having some fun busting chops and
he said that the Yankee lineup.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Has two good hitters. That's it.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
And so that quote, when you say that to the
tabloids in New York, that quote got blown out of proportion.
And the Severna also spent almost ten years pitching for
the Yankees. He was toiling on the mound in the
Bronx and he said this talking to some Yankee players
and then repeat it to the meeting. He said, right now,
you only have two good hitters. Now several Reno's not
(03:03):
going to pitch, he's gonna be absent from the upcoming
Subway series. But the thing that's interesting here is the
Aaron Boone part of this. That Aaron Boone reached out
to Carlos Mendoza. So let us discuss the question the
Yankee skipper, Aaron Boone contacting his contemporary across the city
(03:25):
there with the Mets and upset by the commentary, seemingly
upset by the commentary of Luis Severino saying the Yankees
only have two only two good hitters. Where you're at
on this one. So I've got Billy Graham, dressing room
and punch bowl, and we will combine all of these
things together and we're going to make a wild That
(03:49):
listener in Montana said they were gonna send me. This
came up last hour, the Montana mascot, and the listener
has said they're gonna send me a Montana Grizzlies hat.
So I don't have that in my vast collection of hats.
I'm wearing the poutine hat. By the way, this is
the poutine hat. My love of poutine, and it's the salad.
It's the only satellite I really like. It's the Canadian salad.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
So anyway, number wa.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
All right, so let me just get this off the top.
This is a new low for Aaron Boone. Aaron Boone
who continues to toil away as the Yankee manager despite
ineptitude in the postseason, sometimes even the regular season, and like,
what are you doing here? Because one of those what
are you doing situations? For Aaron Boone, it is emasculating.
(04:40):
It's also here's the other thing, and we bring this up.
These stories have happened from time to time. I understand
that Mendoza and Boone are friends, and that the Mets
manager used to work for the Yankees.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
I get all that.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
I understand that dynamic. Nevertheless, the fact that this guy
out there. It is emasculating, is what it is, right,
and it's empowering because you've empowered the words Louis Severino
that he upset you enough, as Aaron Boone, the manager
of the Yankees, that you reached out to the other manager,
which tells you that the Mets pitcher Severino is like
(05:12):
a modern day Billy Graham.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Right, he's preaching the gospel. He's not wrong. Now, last
I checked, which was heading into.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
The weekend, and I don't know if this changed over wet,
but the Yankees had two guys. They had Aaron Judge
and Juan Soto. Those are the only two guys that
had more than ten home runs other than Jean Carlos Stanton.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
So you essentially have on one side you've got Soto,
on the other side, you've got Aaron Judge, and then
you've got Barney to the Dinosaur and Elmo and those
type of characters in the lineup. It's another example, these
are not your daddy's Yankees. Imagine the old days, Like
I'm gonna have the Yankee manager contact the other manager,
(05:51):
upset because of Christma, who cares what Luis Severino says
you've empowered his words. Now page two, we go to Vegas.
We talked a lot last hour about Vegas. You know,
a Malard meet and greet in Las Vegas August third, Saturday.
So still a couple weeks away, almost two full weeks
away from the Malor meet and greet in Vegas. Details
on social media. But this is a crazy story that
(06:11):
did not get enough of attention.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
So I wanted to.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Put the highlighter on this story. So I read that
during a recent presentation between folks from the Athletics and
the Las Vegas Stadium Authority. I don't even know what
that is, it sounds important, but the Las Vegas Stadium Authority,
the Athletics have confirmed that there is currently no financing
(06:35):
in place for their one point five billion dollars ballpark
right in the heart of the strip in Vegas. Net
me repeat that for those of you who are in
the back of the room. We're not talking about just
a shortfall here. We're not talking about, hey, we need
a little extra money here the Athletics. This is from
the Athletics, the people that work for the Major League
(06:57):
Baseball team. There is no financing to pay for the venue.
Zero that's what they said. Those aren't my words, that's
their words. Now keep in mind part of this process
or process depending on how you say the word where
you grew up. But the A's have confirmed they have
zero financing. They also would like three hundred and eighty
(07:19):
million dollars in a subsidy, a taxpayer handout from the
taxpayers of Nevada to finance the stadium. Now they've already
closed the Tropicana, they've started the demolition from what I
understand on the Tropic Canna, that's where the ballpark's going
to be. And yet zero financing to build the one
point five billion dollar ballpark.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
How does that happen?
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Right?
Speaker 1 (07:45):
And that's really the question.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
How is Major League Baseball allowing this to continue without finance?
So this is one of those stories. You go to
the dressing room. Okay, you go into the dressing room,
you put on the fuzzy red nose, you put on
the oversized shoes and the clown makeup because it's Boso show.
It is an absolute Boso show. Now, if this is
(08:07):
true what has been reported, if it's accurate, that would
mean that Major League Baseball is allowing the Athletics to
leave Oakland, a place they've been since the nineteen sixties,
and go to Sacramento in the Twilight Zone. But remember,
you're not allowed to say they're the Sacramento is because
(08:27):
that's for boating.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
You're not allowed to do it.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
And they won't put Sacramento on the uniforms. Are gonna
play a minor league ballpark in the capital of California,
and that's it. And essentially, the way I read it,
they're waiting on a wing and a prayer that the
money's going to appear, and that the gambling people that
made them all kinds of promises will come up with money,
which I makes sense, but it doesn't. The fact that
(08:51):
they're moving already doesn't pass the smell test.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
It just doesn't.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Either the A's are fibbing that they just didn't want
to give the information out when they spoke to this
stadium group in Vegas last week, or Rob Manford, a
good punching bag on this show, is just a bigger
jackwagon than we thought he was. And with the whole
letting the Astros cheat and all that stuff, getting away
(09:18):
with it and endorsing it, it's insane, all right. Final point,
So we'll go to baseball where we'll say in baseball
rather where shohey O'tani's Doyers swept Jaron Duran's Red Sox.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Good afternoon, good evening, and good night.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
They had the showcase game, Big Game on Saturday, National TV.
Friday Night was a big game. All the games were
showcased around baseball. So the Dodgers get the sweep. They
played miserable baseball going into the All Star Break. They
had lost I think six to seven, but they get
to sweep over Boston.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Is this a big deal, a little deal.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
Or no deal?
Speaker 1 (09:55):
The Dodgers sweeping the Red Sox.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
So for the Dodgers, I'm gonna say it's no deal,
even though they needed a better because they'd been playing
like rotting Pooh for a good stretch of time.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
So it's nice.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
But it's no deal for them because they're they're going
to be judged solely on what they do in the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Playoffs. It's all about what they do in the postseason.
All this other stuff.
Speaker 5 (10:14):
Eh.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
I think they've had record breaking regular seasons and then
gone belly up in the fetal position and all that
in the playoffs, so that doesn't matter. It's it's it's
all about the postseason. The Red Sox. Oh, it's a
big deal.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
So from the Boston side of things, it's a big deal.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
We talked about this a few weeks back in previous
episodes of the show, like the Red Sox have been
an overachieving team. They were supposed to be essentially flatulence
this year. They were not supposed to be anything more
than a gaseous mass that they were not going to contain.
And then they're a contender for a wild card berth
(10:52):
in the American League.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Right now.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
They've overachieved, They've outperformed expectations. And so there was a
grassroots movement led by alf the alien, O Pinter and
Andrea and the Commonwealth and some other people for the
Red Sox to convince John Henry, the owner there, to say,
all right, we're gonna be buyers. We're gonna try to
improve the team. The trade deadline is coming up here
(11:14):
at the end of July, and so they try to
improve the team. We're less than ten days away from
the Baseball trade deadline now. But here we are at
this point, this fork in the road, and now the
brass in Boston can say, well, wait a minute here,
like the front office and say, I told you, See,
I told you that the team's not that good. They
can't compete with the Dodgers. Even though the Red Sox
(11:35):
blew multiple leads. I think they leads in every game.
I know they had leads in the first two and
in this game too, So they had leads in every
game and bleue them. And now the front office, all right,
we're gonna take the off ramp here and we'll point
out all the flaws and the roster. And as the
season goes on, we're in the dog days of the
baseball season. These guys are gonna start having more and
(11:56):
more issues as it gets harder and harder to win,
and you have to live up to expectations, and so
they're just not good enough, which would mean rather than
ad players, the Red Sox likely will be putting a
for sale sign up and they open up the garage
and have a garage sale. It is the Ben Maeler Show.
If you'd like to be part, you can join us
here speak easy rules are in effect and the lines
(12:18):
are all full.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Anyway, we'll get to some of.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
These some big names, big name callers on this show
lined up and don't forget the Malor Palooza. We mentioned
this last hour, but next week Inka Terror is signed up,
classically trained musician Inco Terror from New York.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
He will be our celebrity judge. He's back this year.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
We're excited about that and if you'd like to enter,
If we don't have enough contestants, we won't do it.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
So we need people to sign up for this.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
If you want to sing, you wanna do a comedy
routine and a personation. We's got some really good impersonation
people on here. If you do animal sound effects, that's
always a good bit. If you're a human cannonball, I
don't know that that would play on radio. It's got
to be radio friendly. If it's not ready for like,
puppets don't really work. It's tough to do puppets, right, Lorena.
(13:05):
It's hard to do the puppet thing.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Could you imagine someone showing a sign language? Yeah, that would.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
I'm surprised nobody's tried that over the years. So anyway,
that'll be coming up a week from today. Malar Palooza
twenty twenty four. We are very excited about that. A
canceled figure in sports, somebody that was sent to a
Siberian prison has been let out. Somebody that got canceled
(13:31):
has been You know what, we'll let you back in.

but it has happened. We'll get to that, and we'll

and lost or whatever.

Speaker 2 (16:16):
I don't know all the details. All I know is
Alex I had my head was spinning like he like

coast to coast at first, but then it moved on
from from coast to coast, and then it became he
talked about we talked about UFOs Kem trails. We talked
you know, I mean, you name it, and I was
(16:38):
trying to get as crazy. I thought, well, I'll just
I'll throw Alex off his game. I'll throw some crazy
stuff out there. And he had an answer to everything.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
He can go for hours. He can go for hours

interesting podcast. So check that out Fifth Hour podcast. I've
got a lot of reaction from the the knuckleheads who
like it.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Up in the queues.
Speaker 2 (17:01):

plus on the Mallard monologue. I get to hear the

Speaker 1 (17:23):
Let's go to the phones. We'll say hello to tiger
Man in Utah. Hello, tiger Man, tiger Man.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
I played the tiger sound effects the tiger's sleeping. Did
the tiger fall asleep? I don't hear the tiger snoring?
Oh he was going to give us some baton rouge
lsu proper game. Well, thank you, tiger man called themr.
Let's sayllo to Andre, who's in the Commonwealth. Hello, Andre,
what's going on there?
Speaker 1 (17:54):
He is? He's right there. Look at that. Andre's there.
He never lets me down. Andre's always there.
Speaker 9 (17:59):
Yeah, I'm here. You know, it's the summertime. It's the
right time in tours.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Are you walking the dog right now?
Speaker 7 (18:05):
No?
Speaker 9 (18:05):
Willis, we we we we already went out for our exercise.
So Willis is actually getting old snooze in, you know.
But we do go for the night night walks. Recently,
it's been more like laps, you know what I mean,
just letting the you know, I put the leash on
him and then we do kind of laps around the
house and you know, it's almost like a track, you
know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
You're doing in there? You know you're not going outside.
You're doing indoors. Huh No, no outside, Okay, I thought.
Speaker 9 (18:30):
Reversing all over in the neighborhood. You see, because Willis
I think I might have mentioned this. You know, German
shepherd in black labs. He's a rescue from Georgia. So
he's a malinof And I know what the heck that meant?
That those are the K nine dogs, you know what
I mean, Like he's a war dog. The point of
fact is, you know, if I have to let him
a little bit off the leash when we're in the neighborhood,
he's going and if he if he smells a dog
in the house, he's going right up to that house
(18:52):
and waking that dog up. We're waking the family up.
And we can't have that bend.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
It's a liability. It's a liability. You don't need that, I.
Speaker 9 (18:59):
Understand we need so we keep it close to home now. Uh,
you know, but we already we've already we've already achieved that.
Speaking of the LSU Tigers, the previous caller, a good
friend of mine, a buddy, visited l s U. Apparently
there's like six they have like six or seven tigers.
It's like they don't just have the one tiger when
you walk into the stadium, which is that, which is enough,
but then they like memorialize the previous tigers that have
(19:21):
had that role, you know, and.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
They are there. There's stuffed tigers there.
Speaker 9 (19:26):
No an actual tiger.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
No, I know they're real tigers, but I'm saying when
they die, they don't live that long. When they die,
do they stuff them?
Speaker 9 (19:33):
No, but like they put them on like a plaque,
like a wall of honor for like the previous, the.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Greatest, the greatest tigers.
Speaker 9 (19:39):
Of them all right there, But LSU was win of
the champions.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Tigers lived longer though.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Like the Georgia bulldogs, they have a live bulldog maskot
bulldogs don't live very long.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
They have to go through a lot of bulldogs there.
Speaker 9 (19:54):
I'm not sure what the tradition is in Georgia, but
I did have a referee, a brother referee was down
in ls U, and he told that story about you know,
how to prop them up, and it's a whole big
to do. So'll wander for the ben. I want to
go back to the lead, and I've taken up some time,
but I want to get back, you know, on the
point big football season coming up, you know what I mean,
We're not well. I want to stay in July as
(20:14):
long as possible, being a tourists have but when we
break through to August. It's all football all the time.
You mentioned the Cowboys New England Patriots Ben Gerard Mayo.
I am pulling for him. Nonetheless, he's got his work
cut out for him. We can't. So that's very interesting storyline.
No way, I'm not gonna say no way because I'm
coming up. I don't want to, you know, but it's
going to be difficult for the Patriots to break break
through and make the playoffs and just to be competitive
(20:36):
in the AFC East, right no more AFC least like
the AFC East. It's a competitive conference. Buffalo is not
going anywhere. We know what Miami can do, and Aaron
Rodgers should play more than three snaps, you know, So
it's going to you know, So that's the storyline that
I'm They.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Don't have any playmag and how are you going to
score points?
Speaker 1 (20:54):
The Patriots.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
They're going to have to do these long, methodical drives
with Jacoby Brissett at least the start the year until
Drake may takes.
Speaker 9 (21:01):
Over, until Drake is ready. But to the point with
that man, and I'm looking forward to Benny versus de
Penny coming back. You know for the football season. You're
gonna be doing NBC Sports.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
I'm looking for nothing, nothing to announce on that yet,
but hopefully he'll be back.
Speaker 9 (21:15):
They need to get their mind writing and bring it
on back. You know that they know that they know
what's good for me if I had to make some
calls them to do it. But the bottom line is this,
they actually have Patriots and you can believe this, an
actual offensive coordinator and Alex van peltin Gerrard Mayo is
not playing these like mind games and we're going to
try to bring up special teams person and Matt Patrick. No, no,
you've got somebody there.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
No, but Alex Pels. You see what he did in Cleveland.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
He's never good and so far his resume is not
particularly good on what he's accomplished. He is an offensive coordinator,
but they don't have any playmakers. Who's there was Kendrick
Bourne still the number one receiver for the Patriots.
Speaker 9 (21:52):
All right, so they have to staff up. I get
that point, but I'm just saying there is like an
actual It's like not Bill Belichick trying it. By the way,
Bill Belli, who knows what he's doing with his own
personal life now.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
He needs I think we know what he's doing right
now in his personal life. It's been well chronicled in
the tabloids. He's having it. He's living his greatest life
right now. Is that going to be you, Andre when
you're older? Is that you gonna be like Belichick when
you get to that age?
Speaker 9 (22:14):
Actually, no, I'm gonna not retire. And because that's an
actual example of what life versus and bet Bill Belichick
needs football at the point he needs to get it
behind back to football. Stop all the full stiff Gerard
Mail and the Patriots they actually have. I'm confident in
the coaching staff. You're right about the roster, and I'm
pulling for them to be competitive. They're not making the playoffs,
but I'd like to see them get six, seven, maybe
eight wins and then build.
Speaker 10 (22:36):
For next year.
Speaker 9 (22:36):
I think it's going to be an interesting narrative in
storyline once we get into football. Bennett, Oh, thanks so
much for taking the call, and we're looking forward to
Betty versus all.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Right, well, well hopefully hopefully we'll have a big announcement.
Speaker 4 (22:47):
Who knows.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
All right, Thank you there he is, Andre, Thank you
from the Commonwealth. It is the Bain Maler Show. As
we continue on and on. We have Mallard of the
third degree coming up in a little bit. But did
you know that Tom Brennanman is back. Remember Tom brennan really, yes,
the former announcer. He was like the big announcer at
(23:09):
Fox for years and he did the broadcast of the
Cincinnati Reds And Tom Brenneman is returning to college football broadcasting.
But it's gonna be on the c W, but it's
a national broadcast of college football.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
I actually know a guy who works in the w
W sports department.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
Oh really, okay, higher up guy too.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Brennanman is really good, Like he's really good at play
by play, but there's usually at other stuff because.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
You're like trying to look at me.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
You gotta look at.
Speaker 4 (23:43):
In front of us.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Well, I know.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
But it's the problem with Brenneman. Is anything happens, it's
people go back to what he said. That was in
Kansas City, right, it was in Kansas City, I think
it was. I don't remember the Royals Reds game and
he made a homophobic slur during the game and all that.
But he's returning to Nash broadcasting starting this college football season,
which is like a month and some few days away.
Speaker 4 (24:06):
I'll have to text my button.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Yeah, get the inside skinny on that. But Breneman's coming back.
He's back now.
Speaker 6 (24:12):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
And Golf, Xander Sharply wins the one hundred and fifty
second Open Championship by two strokes. He has now won
two majors, both this year, and he's the sixth player
ever to win both.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
Tiger make it home or did he? Did he have
to stay?
Speaker 4 (24:29):
I know is he didn't make the weekend.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
I know that he left.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
When we left on Friday, the Internet was all down
worldwide and there was true planes weren't flying.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
Because he has his own plane and he could fire around.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
It doesn't matter if you have your own planes. The
Internet is. If anything's tied to the Internet, your screw.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
I thought that had to do with, like, you know,
reservations and things like that. If you have your own plane,
whether you care of the Internet.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Because the plane still uses the Internet, the communication.
Speaker 4 (24:57):
All the planes flew before we had the invention of
the Internet.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Bill, I understand, but now it's all Internet. A lot
of its Internet based almost all his Internet. I'm just
telling you what I read, all right.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
I assume Tiger made it safe inside. I would probably
be in the news if he did.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Not, say is that you're done?
Speaker 4 (25:14):
I know you want something else?
Speaker 1 (25:15):
No, I got a fun fact. I want to give
my fun.

Speaker 1 (26:26):
Alf said this one.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
If you spent one day on each of the islands
in the Philippines, it would take you almost twenty one
years to visit them all.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Is that not a fun fact. That's a fun fact.
That's a lot of islands.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
You'd be twenty one years.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
No, I didn't. It was sporty going from island. Ie.
You gotta be in a boat. I'll give you hit
it again. I'll give you a sporty go Ahe hit
it again?
Speaker 6 (26:49):
Malor fun fact.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
Also from Alf, Jim Palmer, guy that was an underwear
model back and they used to pitch for the ball
broadcasting for I believe he has some games. Yeah, remember
he ripped Angel Hernandez.
Speaker 4 (27:01):
Earlier this season. He didn't line for that one anyway.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Jim Palmer pitched nearly four thousand innings in Baltimore in
his career.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
He never gave up a grand.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Slam or back to back home runs. That's my fun
fact right there. Let's go back to the phones. We'll
say hello to Let's see here. Let's say hello to
Andrea in Berkeley. She's got her star charts out. The
full moon after goo called the afterglow, right, Andrea, the
(27:31):
astrology lady, the afterglow.
Speaker 10 (27:34):
Yes, yeah, a nice way to put it. Just a
good reminder that you feel the full moon. I always say,
it's you know, not very uh romantic to liken it
to a cold but it's like two days before the
day of and two days after, so we're sort of
in the afterglow peak of the full moon experience. And
(27:57):
it was a super moon. It was very close to Earth,
and we're still feeling the effects, and you know, it's
kind of a good time. You know, emotions run a
little more intense. You might know. Bob Milvin got ejected
just talking.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
I saw that before the game.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
He was having a casual conversation with the umpires and
they said whatever he said the magic word, they kicked
his ass out.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
As you get out of here, you're done.
Speaker 10 (28:20):
Yeah, apparently you can't bring up something that happened the
day before, and he was ejected before the game even started.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
That's also that's what Earl Weaver used to do.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
That's an outdated reference, but he's the Orioles back in
the day and he did stuff like that.
Speaker 10 (28:34):
Interesting. Yeah, so you know it just makes just makes
emotions more intensified, and it's just good to be aware
of that energy and to kind of focus it into
some good affirmation.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
Which moon was this one again? What was the name?
Speaker 10 (28:47):
That was the full buck moon?
Speaker 1 (28:49):
The buck moon? Yes, with a B buck correct buck moon.
Speaker 10 (28:52):
Yes, which is when the timing of it, the new
antlers of the buck and gear shout of their foreheads
and it creates this velvety fur. It's the it's a
Native American tribe.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
Well, that actually happens to Jetu Fled every other Wednesday
out in the swamp lands of Florida.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
That happens to him.
Speaker 10 (29:15):
So you know that's you know how much we like
the old farmer's almanacs.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
We love the farmers all right.
Speaker 4 (29:21):
No Internet.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
They did all that without the internet, the geniuses.
Speaker 10 (29:24):
Yeah, so that's uh.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
They couldn't go to Wikipedia. They had to do it
on their own.
Speaker 10 (29:29):
So that's just, you know, really good to know that
we feel the energy before, during, and after. And it
was July twenty first at three seventeen am when it peaked,
so we got the sun going in you know, Capri
Horn cancer. Then we got the sun going into Leo
for all your Leos out there, So just know for
(29:52):
your zodiac it's good to have some positive affirmations and
emotions get intensified, to kind of go with the flow. Win.
Know this too shall pass, but it's a good time
to focus your emotions and the some meditations that you
can do. You can expand your horizons. Mind, body, and
spirit are limitless like the sky. That's nice.
Speaker 4 (30:16):
Oh yeah, that unbelievable.
Speaker 10 (30:18):
Mind in spirit are limitless like the sky. So expanding
your horizons, pursuing new adventures.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
Who was taking notes right now in this you know
that to be.
Speaker 10 (30:30):
A malor palooza in Berkeley, Ben what we have.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Talked about our guy Alameda Lou offered us to go
to his establishment, although he hasn't called in allow so
I don't know if the offer still stands. Although I
think his place is in Oakland. I don't know that
we want to go to Oakland, Okay, But yeah, was
it the Kingfish or something like that at the bar?
I forget the name of it. Yeah, he offered it.
Speaker 10 (30:54):
I could figure that out because I know you just
talked about the one in Las Vegas.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
Yeah, we don't want to Vegas. We do one in
the Bay.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
You make a celebrity appearance there, Andrew, all right, all right,
we'll put that on the big board, Malard. In the
recent years, we did Charleston, South Carolina a few months ago,
doing Vegas coming up. We were in Minnesota last year, Appleton, Wisconsin.
I was using my brother a couple of years ago.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
So we've we've made the rounds.
Speaker 6 (31:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (31:20):
What was the name of the bar in Oakland? King Fit?
Speaker 2 (31:23):
I think it's something like that. I forget the exact name,
but I'll let you know if he calls up again.
All Right, I gotta go, thank you, Andrew, all right, go,

in Iowa. I met him at the Mallard meet and
greet in Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Drove up, he said.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
Mallard brought up ty shirts, fifth hour talks and then
he goes to Andre. He's got his tenfoil hat on.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
And I also see one of the more polarizing callers
from the Boston area. He's now on Twitter or X.
We call it X change the names. We'll get to that.
Eke in Roseale, Minnesota says, I was happy to hear
that the most interesting person in the Malard militia, the
classically trained musician inca Terror, will be a judge for

Kirk Gibson, who happened to play for the Tigers mostly
and the Doyers, but he was born in Michigan played
football at Michigan State. Kirk Gibson and Blank are tied
for the MLB record for the most home runs from
a player born in the state of Michigan. That is
the question. What is the answer, And let's see Mascot
(35:21):
Hall of Famer Upie guests by King Rory black Jack
McDowell from alf the Alien, ol Piner, Kamala the wrestling
legend from Cowboy Killer Sherylyn Fenn Detroit's owned from I
forty Ian page nine. Can't read that on their Marquis

Grissom guess by mister nice Guy Exposed legend Page down.
The Bastion Booger born here in the up of Michigan.
That's from Upper Upper Peninsula. That's from Donkey Sausage Barney five,
Deputy Sheriff of Mayberry, South and North Carolina from Mala

prop Guy Page down. Johnny Sin's American Hero from Black
Steve the Second in North Carolina, Charlie Gerringer from Eke
and Rose of Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
Matthew Warrior Raider fan.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
He googled it, he cheated, he got it right, and
that's why he loves the Tom Brady Roast, the Comedy Roast,
Bo Schembeckler guests by Rob in Minnesota. Who else do
we have sagy Casa ripping other callers? Thank you for that.
We needed that content. Who else do we have? Fist
bump fister is from a mad jack? That's his answer?
(36:39):
Who else do we have?
Speaker 1 (36:40):
A page down? Calm down?
Speaker 2 (36:43):
Yaphemi in Chicago needs some meditations. When he's do you
have an answer?
Speaker 4 (36:46):
Ready? Well, Uncle Moe text to me he thinks he
thinks it's he man Choi.
Speaker 1 (36:52):
Pride of Michigan.
Speaker 4 (36:52):
I'm gonna go with Ron Lafleur.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
Ron Lafleur. Is that your final answer?
Speaker 4 (36:56):
Ready? Yes?
Speaker 1 (36:57):
Eddie? You are wrong? You got it wrong, bad Jebbi.
The correct answer is John Mayberry. John Mayberry with the Royals.
Speaker 4 (37:06):
And the Yankees.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
And the end of his career, though he played mostly
for the Royals and the Blue Jays, I believe played
with the Yankees a little bit. They here we go,
Here we go, here we got smeller. How about that?
Speaker 6 (37:18):
To the third degree, This is one big fan gets cruel.
Speaker 8 (37:25):
The Arizona Diamondbacks have been surging a bit lately, and
now their GM Mike Hazen says that the team will
be buyers at the trade deadline. Is that the right
move Arizona.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
Yes, they put last year.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
They weren't very good last year, and they got to
the freaking World Series.
Speaker 1 (37:39):
So yes that in baseball it's kind of like hockey.
Same thing in hockey.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
You see teams that aren't supposed to be that good
that that end up going far. Yeah, if you're the
Arizona Diamondbacks, you just went on a run. You weren't
supposed to make the World Series you did. Why would
you not add players? Of course you should if you
look at the Diamondbacks and they're not as good talent
wise as the Phillies or the but they weren't last
year either.
Speaker 8 (38:02):
Next, a team on the opposite end of that spectrum
is the Toronto Blue Jays. Toronto has the fourth worst
record in the AL and it seems obvious that they
will be sellers.
Speaker 1 (38:10):
Ben.
Speaker 8 (38:10):
Do you think they offload Laguerreo Junior, Bobaschett or both.
Speaker 2 (38:14):
So my money is that they do trade one of them,
but not both. So I'm gonna go with Bob Bashett
as the one they trade because they will get a
lot of crap if they trade Vladdie Guerrero Junior because
he's more popular. Although neither one of them has played
particularly well this season, the Guerrero last I checked, was.
Speaker 1 (38:30):
Coming on a little bit more now. For the purpose
of the show, I'd like to see both of them
traded next.
Speaker 8 (38:35):
That's been reported this weekend that JJ McCarthy would have
to play lights out to start over Sam Donald. Ben,
do you think there's a chance that they don't start
McCarthy at all this season?
Speaker 2 (38:44):
Well, that would be That would be ridiculous, that would
be malpractice. What's the point the rookie contract? This should
he's gotta play Sam? We're talking about Sam Donald, Coop,
this is Sam Efan Donald.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
What do we do? Yes, McCarthy's gonna play multiple games.
How do we know you pass at all?
