Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
It's our numer two hour two Ready to go. The
Phillies and the Mets the focus of this Malard monologue
on the podcast the NLDS game number three from New York,
and it was all Mets in this game. No contest
who gets the blame for the Phillies futile offense. Also
(00:22):
Mallard's level of concern for the Phillies being on the
edge of elimination.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
And do the Mets have all the momentum as some
are saying.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
We'll get to that and more right now here. It
is our number two.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Well, it seemed it seemed like.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Everything was gonna be okay, and then they had to
play the game. Well gome In the be gaining of
another hour of the Ben Malor Show, we are in
the air everywhere with incoherent talk as we chase waves.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
We do coast to coast, border the.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Border and beyond all the mast and vivaciously powerful microphones
of fsre amminating live from the carousel, the coaching carousel.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
We'll get to that later.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
We're broadcasting live from the tyrat dot com studios.

And unmatched selection bast free shipping, free road hazard protection
and over ten thousand recommended installers tiract dot com, The
Way tire Buying, shultbes or I leave this hour from
Queens Flushing, not far away from LaGuardia, where you cannot
(01:52):
fly all the way across the country because the runways
are not big enough.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Small problem. You have to stop somewhere along the way.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
But that was the stage for Game three of the
National League Divisional Series. The Phillies made the eighty mile
trip up I ninety five to the Big Apple to
play the Mets. In the series tied up at one
one fair to say, a lot on the line, A
lot on the line. Were you engaged? Were you consuming
(02:22):
said baseball product?
Speaker 1 (02:26):
You were not all right? Bad job by you. We
watched so you would not have to.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
But the Philadelphia Phillies had appbsolutely nothing.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
They had absolutely nothing for most of this game.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Pete Alonso and Jesse Winker hitting some towering home runs,
and Aaron Nolas started for Philadelphia. You cannot apparently get
Pete Alonzo out. Not enough Sean Mania, of all people.
Sean Mania took a two hit shutout into the eighth
and the Philadelphia Phillies go down, and they go down hard.
(03:05):
The Mets beat them up seven to two on a
Tuesday in Game three, as Starling Marte, great name and
not a bad postseason season performer, Starling Marte who had
a two run single to help the Mets the wild
card Mets. They played their first home game in over
two weeks. God for bitch staying and all those five
(03:26):
star hotels on the road and the world class travel.
But later on today here's Wednesday, and later on in
Game four, we'll have All star Ranger Suarez scheduled to
start for Philadelphia against bellow left hander Jose Contana Quintana,
and that's it.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
If the Phillies do not win, it is over.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
If the Mets win, they will advance to the Nation
League Championship Series.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
The Mets have here's a fun fact.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
They have never had a clinching celebration at city Field.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
That ballpark's been open.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Now, this is the fifteen years plus I believe that
city Field has been opened and they have yet to
have a celebratory moment there in that ballpark. But let
us discuss. The better story is in the losing locker room.
So who gets the blame? For the Phillies futile and
I do mean futile offense, all right.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
So I've got air B and B.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
And the city and also Uncle Mo.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
We'll get to all that and we'll do it right now.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
We'll put it all together, and we're gonna make biscuits
and gravy. Is that's what the Phillies can eat should
they be eliminated. But to answer the question who gets
to the blame for the Phillies futile offense, well, you've
got to start at the very top, Bryce Harper. There's
some big bats in that lineup, Bryce Harper. The Phillies
did nothing. You know what they did the first part
(05:01):
of the game. They collected. They collected goose eggs is
what they collected. No runs for seven innings and very
few opportunities for the Phillies the first part of this game.
Bryce Harper is the headliner. And even though the Phillies
scored a couple of runs in the eighth inning, the
game was pretty much over at that point for all
competitive reasons, and the Mets were ready to put confetti
(05:23):
up and all that.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
And the Philadelphia Phillies.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Who looked remember last year in the playoffs, they look
like they had the recipe to get it all done,
and then they could not get past the Diamondbacks. They
got all tangled up against Arizona, and here they are
against the Mets and a team that had a lot
of time off like the Dodgers, the Yankees, these teams.
Baseball has set up the postseason in a way where
(05:50):
the top teams all seem to unravel in the divisional round.
But that's not an owt by the reality is that
the Philly a roster that is good enough and should
consistently put runs up. And the fact that they allowed
Sean Maniah Sean, I'm sure Mania is a nice guy,
(06:10):
like he's roster spam, right, Sean Manyah.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
And this guy.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Went out there and you thought you were watching Dwight
Gooden or Ron Darling or some great Mets pitcher of
the past the way that he was absolutely shutting down
and putting goose eggs up of the Philadelphia Phillies lineup.
And so the Phillies are gonna have to have one
of those come to Jesus moments now. So what is
the Mallord level of concern, Malard level of concern.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
For the Philadelphia Phillies here is they.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Are on the edge of elimination, an elimination situation for them.
So for the Philadelphia Phillies here the issue is even
if Rangers Sworez pitches like an All Star. By the way,
one of the great misinformation reports is I saw this
being reported on television, Well, all Star Ranger Suarez will
(07:03):
be on the mountain. You know what Ranger Swarez era
was from July until the end of the year, do
you know, you don't know?
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Right?
Speaker 1 (07:10):
It was over six his earn run average.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Ranger Suarez who's starting later today for the Phillies, his
ERA over the last four starts was over nine for
the Phillies.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
So that's the guy who's pisched recently.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
But even if you were to go out and have
a wonderful performance and just blanket the Mets lineup at
some point, at some point because baseball is bewildering, Ranger
sware is gonna come out of the game and then
the bullpen goes in and the bullpen, if my math
is correct, here, the Philadelphia Phillies bullpen has been the
(07:47):
city sucks City, and they've been at suck City, the
city the Phillies bullpen has given up in nine innings,
seventeen hits and twelve earned runs, which I thought my
math was a little fuzzy. Maybe I screwed that up,
but I went back and I double checked, and I said, no,
the numbers are right on that. The numbers are right,
and you look at where they are right now. So
(08:09):
the bullpens terrible. The offense is spotty, right, they have
not you know, I know they won a game, so
it's not totally depressing, but it's it is upsetting the
way because you watched the Phillis and they're an exciting
team during the regular season, and they got a good
mix if you enjoy offensive baseball.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
There's a lot of bravado.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
But it's not like phony bravado like the Padres have
and all that.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
It's a little different, right, right, a little different there.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
And yet here they are yet again, and it appears
they are being baffled by a second rate, second rate talent.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Right, but the Mather level.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Of concern for the Phillies is again eight point five
out of ten on this because they're about to have
a nice Airbnb, a date, a rental at dial an
excuse go to a place I can dial up an
excuse on what went wrong and who's to blame and
why it didn't work out and why they ended up
mystified with a horrible performance in the last But that
(09:12):
being said, I give the Phillies more of a chance
to come back because I do believe in the lineup
and I do think they'll be able to score some
runs here. The problem is the pitching has just been
absolutely dog food and once that plague starts making its
way through the pitching staff, very rarely does that end
(09:36):
up leaving on a moment's notice. And now the final
part of this is do the Mets have all the momentum?
Speaker 1 (09:44):
All the momentum? So I've seen this as well.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
It's another one of my pet peeves, as you know,
if you've heard the show over.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
The years, the old momentum.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
They got all the momentum, all the moment And okay, well,
I would like to point out one of the great
quotes in cinema from Matthew McConaughey in The Wolf of
Wall Street when he was talking about the number one
rule of Wall Street. Remember this scene is somewhat old
movie there, but he said, he said that nobody knows
(10:17):
if a stock is going up or down, sideways or
in circles.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Right.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
But he then talked about what I think would be
the description of momentum.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
It's all for gayze, right, it's all for gayzy. And yeah,
you know what fu gayzy is?
Speaker 2 (10:32):
If gayzy for ghazi, whatever it's it's it's wazy, it's woozy,
it's all.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
It's very dust is what it is, doesn't exist. There
is no such thing as momentum.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
And you look at this series and then it was
one one, so there is no momentum there.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Now it's two to one. Now the Phillies can come
back and win that, but there's no momentum. And so it's.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
A misnomer that dumb people continue to repeat over and
over again.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
But at some point one of these two teams this
is gonna cry uncle.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
And right now it's leaning towards it's local leaning towards
the Phillies because their bullpen is completely chopped up and they.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Can't camouflage that.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
In the modern game, there are no diversionary tactics that
you can do other than the starting picture going all
the way, and that is not allowed. You would have
a war tribunal if your starting pitcher went the entire game.
It just would not happen, cannot do it.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
It is the Ben Mather Show.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
If you would like to be part of this, you
are more of the welcome to join us here as
we open up the lines to you on a speak
easy kind of night. Some of you have said, hey,
when's the next newby Night? And that is a fair point.
Maybe we'll do a newby Night tomorrow on the show.
It seems like a nice thing to do a newby
Night tomorrows'll we'll consider that, but it is not a
(11:53):
new Night. But does not mean you cannot call if
you're not a regular? Boy, would I'd rather talk to you.
I'd rather talk to you than the regulars. I would
not that I don't hate the regulars, but some new
voices mix them in as well. So we'll take your
calls also on X at Ben Mahlor, that is at
Ben Mahlor. If you want to be part of said program,
(12:16):
we will take your phone calls as we work our way.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Through the overnight hours. Had a coaching change in the NFL.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Couple quarterback changes as well, and we're starting here with baseball. Also,
the Dodger Padre series still available to converse about as
the Padres edge out the Dodgers in Game number three,
So that's a two to one situation. Is a radical
change coming to baseball? A radical change? And also back
(12:44):
in black, back in black. We'll get to that and
we will do it.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Next.
Speaker 4 (12:53):

Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on

Speaker 5 (13:02):

Speaker 3 (13:05):
Those of us on this side of the microphones.

the menace of the Fox Sports Radio network. It's the
Coop the Loop, Justin Cooper, and he's at uh bronco
fan Octopussy and Alive from the tyrack dot Com. Fox
Sports Radio Studios. It's Ben Mallor.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
We are rolling through the late night hours here, we'll
get back to the calls coming up. Momentarily began this
hour with the fighting fills and the Mets not much
fight in the fighting pills offensively, as they did not
get or done when the game was in the balance.
Shot to the solar plexus there did not go.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Well.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
We'll take your comments now. Stevie Meatball says, a newbie
night should work out well for you tomorrow night, since
all your Florida callers will be drowning. He says, well,
he's in Florida and he's Steven Meatballs is in Florida.
He says, he's in Daytona Beach, Ormon Beach, part of
the Greater Daytona area.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Yeah, I am worried about Jack the Judge and Leslie.
I looked.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Now, I don't know if this has changed, but a
few hours ago, I was looking at one of those
weather modules, because I really know what I'm looking at
when I look at a weather module, and it said
that the storm was going right like a direct bullseyes
gonna hit like Braydendon, like right through where Jack the
Judge and.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Less they are they heading out of town.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Well, Leslie probably would, but I don't know I've not
heard from them. Jack the judge normally wants to stay.
One thing I've learned about my friends from Florida, they
like to stay. It's like a badge of honor. It's
like you're a fake Floridian if you leave. But there
are shelters you can go to. There are shelters that
you can go to and hang out and they say though,
you're safe there. So I don't know how they determine
(15:09):
what is safe and what's not safe. If the wind's
blowing the same the same speed no matter where you are,
but you know this is this is going to hit
make landfall? What was it later today?
Speaker 1 (15:21):
When when's the hit time on this? Do we know?
Speaker 3 (15:23):
I thought it was over overnight, that it.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Was like Now, I thought it was supposed to be yesterday. No,
I wasn't yesterday.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Yeah, I thought it was tonight. So now that's what
I thought. I got not.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
You know, you know, the weather guy is I'm.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
Not Actually you're not. That's what I thought I heard.
Don't don't go to the bank on that.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Well, latest reports are there millions of people, there's curfews,
everyone's on lockdown, and there are photos I'm looking at
here of pretty decent sized cities in Florida that are
completely desolate.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
They're saying one hundred and fifty.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Five mile hour winds storm surgeon up to fifteen feet
in place like Tampa, Orlando and Fort Myers. So we'll see, Now,
hopefully this is all false advertising and we can look
back and goof on the media and say you were
just trying to scare people and all that. But just
in case they're not trying to scare people out of
(16:19):
an abundance of caution, you probably should should pay attention.
It's expected to make landfall in Tampa, the Tampa Bay
area later tonight, So later tonight. Now this saying wins
up to one hundred and seventy five miles are they
just making up that number? How do they know that exactly?
How do they are they flying? Do they fly those
(16:39):
planes still into the.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
I think they have that you know, blow in the wind?
Speaker 3 (16:43):
Yes, the thing is that blow in the wind. That
is accurate? Yes?
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Yeah, Now don't they usually fly planes into the hurricane
like there's wet.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
Storm chasers or something.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Yeah, well no, but that's like tornadoes, you know, in
the air.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Don't they have a plane though that does that then
storm chasers, Well.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
I'm talking hurricanes different though, butt like a tornado in
the in the Midwest, like in Kansas or somewhere like that,
they'll have they'll people drive around.
Speaker 5 (17:06):
I know, I'm talking about they flying a plane into
a hurricane to find out how.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Oh yeah, yeah, that's what I'm saying, if they'll fly
the plane there. So this is crazy though. Six million
of our brothers and sisters are under hurricane morning.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Six million people.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Are under a hurricane is an insane amount of people
hanging out in that Gulf of Mexico, that storm in
the Gulf of Mexico. So now it is the Ben
Mather Show as we are a rolling, rolling rolling, uh
my guy's sports with Coleman who does his father lives
in in Sarasota. I believe it is an It says
(17:45):
a landfall be around this time, so tomorrow they're projecting
tomorrow right around this time, so middle of the night
near Sarasota in Tampa, I suppose.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
So getting my.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Weather from sports with women where I always get my weather.
He has all all the answers, all the answers. Let's
you can't read that on it, I'd say let's take
a call. Let's see who do we have here? Well,
any meany miny mo. Let's say hello to Jola, who's
in Dallas. Hello, Jola, welcome?
Speaker 6 (18:23):
Yea.
Speaker 7 (18:23):
How's it going man?
Speaker 1 (18:25):
This guy you're always so happy. You sound like you're
just the happiest guy in the world.
Speaker 7 (18:29):
Man, you gotta be man, it's no way you can
be shot.
Speaker 8 (18:31):
Hey.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
No.
Speaker 7 (18:32):
So, first of all, prayers out to those people in Florida.
Speaker 8 (18:35):
Man.
Speaker 7 (18:35):
You know, it's tough when you don't got fund or
saw a video. It's tough when you don't got a
way to get out. All those the gas stations are
drawing stuff as shaddy. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Yeah, I know, it's it sucks.
Speaker 7 (18:47):
Yeah, you know living Katrina. You know we you know,
so we see that the what is it?
Speaker 6 (18:54):
Global warming?
Speaker 7 (18:55):
It's crazy? Great.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Well, they've they've always been they've always been hurricanes in Florida.
I mean, they've been bad hurricanes and all that. I
think the difference between a hurricane like an earthquake. They
don't really warn you there's an earthquake. It just kind
of happens, or.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
They get like a thirty second warning or something like that.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Right, But one of the cool things, one of.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
The cool things about a hurricane is you they tell you, like, hey,
it's going to be here.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
You know, yes, for sure, you can prepare.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
But again, I mean I have friends that live in
Florida and they all they brag about it. They look
down upon the people that leave. But that doesn't mean
open I'm telling you, man. But also, you gotta have
somewhere else to go. I mean that's the other problem, right,
I mean, you have somewhere to go.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
That's the issue of a friend.
Speaker 7 (19:40):
But man, hey, let's talk about the guests deal. What's
up with Robert Sharlotte on them? Man, that's a debacle.
Speaker 9 (19:47):
Huh?
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Is that a debacle? He did a bad job. If
you do a bad job, you get fired. That's what happened.
He did a bad job, and that's what happens. I mean,
that's to go. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
They still have clean Is that still a thing?
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Mister c the logo?
Speaker 3 (20:03):
Yeah? Is that is that brand still?
Speaker 1 (20:05):
H Yeah? Mister clean still brown version?
Speaker 3 (20:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (20:14):
But Freddie Freeman Arthur trotting to that beage. That's a
man's man right there. Truly, even though they took to
l they're not going to beat those young boys from
San Diego.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
All they have to do is win two more games.
It's not that hard. It's back they could win.
Speaker 7 (20:35):
So Connie was pitching, I'm taking that he wasn't.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Even that good a picture. Why would you say that
he's a better.
Speaker 7 (20:41):
Hitter than he's a pitcher.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
He's not a great thone in Beller show Todd, He's
a great man, a great hitters.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
He's not a great pitcher. He's a great hitter.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
He's not he's a little above average pitcher. He's an
all time great hitter.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
What is funny? Ain's funny about that? I'm just telling
you the reality.
Speaker 7 (21:02):
Yes, I'm just like topping it up. Shout o Coop,
shout out Lorena.
Speaker 8 (21:06):
Those are the people right there that keep the show goal.
Speaker 7 (21:08):
Hey, shout out Eddie, shout out Eddie. Hey, but listen,
Mandy Macho. I want to plunngge him in the face. Man,
he's annoying. A couple of years play Dan France versus
when he was in Baltimore. Yeah, I mean the padre
is a bust of tools.
Speaker 9 (21:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
The padres are like a professional wrestling pressure wrestling. It's
like the whole time you got like a bunch of
you know, the baby faces and the heels. They're all
mixed together there. You know, good guys the bad guys.
Speaker 7 (21:40):
Joy Man, that's crazy. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
You're not supposed to bring that up.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
According to that loser that sent us a message earlier,
you're supposed to forget about that.
Speaker 7 (21:49):
Bro was out there pitching. I love the team, but
without Joe musk Grove.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
You know a lot of a lot of people can't
watch baseball without Joe Muskrove, who was on the treating
any part of the cheating a strong back in the day.
Speaker 7 (22:05):
I love that.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
I bet you do. I bet you do.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Every buzzer you got a little turned on every time
they hit a trash.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Every time you see a trash.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Tan, it reminds you of ol two bays down here.

We gotta live, we gotta get it.
Speaker 7 (22:19):
We're going win every way possible. All those people that
are coming, you know, from the hurricane and come to Texas,
we're gonna take care of him. We're gonna show them
by the wind.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Yeah, okay, I'm sure that's all right. Go away, all right,
thank you, there, you go very happy. That's good. We
have to have balance.

Speaker 2 (23:10):
We mentioned the Phillies and the Mets earlier. Aaron Nola
of the Fighting Phills. In the regular season, he has
allowed two or more home runs in seventeen point two
percent of his starts in the regular season, less than
twenty percent in the postseason though ten postseason starts and
four of the ten, so forty percent of the time,
(23:32):
Aaron Nola has allowed two or more home runs, including
the game against the Mets on Tuesday night, So not
exactly stepping his game up in October baseball, which is.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
A problem, I believe.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Let's go to the phones and we'll say hello to
Let's see here at page let's say hello to Shane,
who's in Florida.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Hello Shane, welcome. What part of Florida are you in there?
Shane o't come.
Speaker 6 (23:58):
Hey, hey man, that's actually Ormond Beach, not Ormond. I'm
from the Ormond Beach.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Alright, I just want.
Speaker 6 (24:07):
To correct you.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
You suck this Stevie.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Are you Stevie Meatballs?
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Me?
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Oh, that's the guy.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
The guy that said that was Stevie Meatballs. That's why
I ready, I blame him.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
My fault. Stevie Meatballs is the guy.
Speaker 6 (24:23):
Come on, everyone calls it Ormond, It's actually Ormonde Ormond and.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
This bothers you greatly.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
You called up to tell me to correct me, so
I will never make that mistake again.
Speaker 6 (24:35):
No, no, I've done to try to bother you. I
just want to let you know. Everyone says it wrong,
that's all.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Well, if everyone says it wrong, then the legend becomes
the fact.
Speaker 6 (24:43):
Go with the legend, right, I guess that makes sense?
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Yeah, fun fun fact, Sane, you want a fun fact?
The word fun fact? The word saloon misspelled, supposed to
be salon. They misspelled it. Put an extra O in there,
so we have saloon.
Speaker 6 (25:00):
Oh, I did not know that.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
That's a true story. I'm not making that up.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
It's supposed to be salon and they misspelled it the
early days of America and they put an extra O
in there.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
And so we have saloon.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
But it's supposed to say you're supposed to go to
a salon, but it's actually we changed it to saloon.
Speaker 6 (25:17):
See I learned something.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
So Shane, are you bunkering down here? Is the storm
coming right where you are? Or you can get the
tail end of it where you will? You give me
the update?
Speaker 6 (25:25):
Right? My wife and kids are a Norman. I feel
like the biggest a hole in the world. I'm a
truck driver head to Las Vegas right now against because
I got your job to do, and my wife and
kids are down there, and I feel like the biggest
jerk right now.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
You couldn't throw them in the truck with you and said, hey,
let's go for a road trip.
Speaker 6 (25:43):
I wanted to get home, but I'm just a company driver.
I gotta go where I got to go. And I'm
just like, honestly, I'm scared of this. What's going on
down there? For everybody camp on the all across the state.
But yeah, that's where they're at. I'm going. I'm going
to Vegas.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
So do you have a way to stay in touch
with them somehow?
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (26:04):
My wife's like, you know, if we lose far reception,
so contacted through Facebook and personal message or something. All right,
we're probably gonna lose reception. I don't know. Just now,
I'm gonna watch from where I'm at.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Are they gonna go to a shelter and hang out.
Speaker 6 (26:18):
No, they're stuck. They're stuck. I got my house all,
you know, boarded up. They couldn't get out. There's no gas,
it's everything shut down. It's terrible.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
All right, Well, good luck, let us know, let us
know how goes. Hopefully everyon'll be all right, and uh
we'll get through this the next days. All right, thank you,
safe traveling. Sh You got bills to play. I understand, man,
you got a job, and I do respect the hustle.
That's a tough spot to be in, right, You got
your job, you lose your job, you know, the whole thing,
and you gotta gotta gotta pay the bills.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
All right. It is the band Malla show.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
Let's go to uh see here, Kevin is in the
Sunshine State.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Is this our guy, Kevin? Hello, Kevin, Welcome.
Speaker 4 (27:01):
Here.
Speaker 8 (27:01):
I am and I'm inside.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
But yeah, I can hear you have high ceilings.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
I can tell it's really good.
Speaker 8 (27:09):
But but I have a new apartment I moved into
from Titusville, which was safe anyway.
Speaker 7 (27:16):
But what happens in this.
Speaker 8 (27:17):
Area we're near We're all near where I live in
central Florida. We're near Cape Cannabel Air Force Station and
Kennedy Space Center where I used to work on the shuttle.
Speaker 7 (27:27):
But what happens is.
Speaker 8 (27:28):
You might have heard about it or seen it on
the map. There's like a point of land and they strategically,
you know, did research and there's very little, big time
damage that happens.
Speaker 7 (27:40):
In this whole area.
Speaker 8 (27:41):
But this thing's going to be hitting Saint Petersburg and
Tampa and in behind all these stories I heard you
talking about and I got a call. Yeah, exaggeration all
a mode. It's a buffet of exaggeration. Now it's going
to be bad news, especially for the West coast. Once
it over the land and the cool the cooler, the
(28:03):
temperature of the land settles down, the winds and it
we don't know how bad it's going to be. But
all I can say is, I've done this for thirty
six years. I've been living in this area. And what
name is a truck driver? I just if he's still listen,
(28:25):
he probably is. Give him some solace and I'll be
praying for him and all these people. My son who
he has a pressure washing business, and my dear son Derek.
He now, but his last three or four days, from
like sunrise the sundown, he is doing shutters. All these
richer people who have their own shutters. He's getting paid
(28:47):
buku bucks, but he's putting up shutters on their windows.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
Okay, it's a smart thing to do. Good for him.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
He's making some money here, yeah, and.
Speaker 8 (29:00):
He makes tons of money putting on Christmas lights for
rich people, right, and any good I can take them down.
So anyway, thank you.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Back, all right, all right, thank you, thank you. Kevin.
All Right, I got Kevin.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Next time he calls, I'll have to ask him about
the Space Shuttle. Big Space shuttle guy back in the day.
He's love that big deal. Of course, I was in
school when the Space shuttle. Unfortunately, the first one that
blew up there, I.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
Was little Houston.
Speaker 6 (29:27):
We have a problem.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
They had us all watching, and they had a teacher
on the plane and it was a dramatic moment in
my life because they it's all what happened to didn't
quite make it is the Ben Mather Show. So the
Texas Rangers not in the playoffs, but the team doctor
for the Rangers proposing a radical change to prevent injuries. Now,
(29:49):
guy named Keith Meister. Doctor Keith Meister has proposed banning
two strike foul balls. Say what, yeah, yeah, he is
saying that they should get rid to improve pitture health.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Ban two strike foul balls.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
This is his solution, and he believes that will save pitchers.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
A ban the continuing foul balls here.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
And I'll cut down on pitch counts, push pitchers to
put more balls in play and shortened games. So he
wants to fundamentally change the way baseball's played. And I
recall telling some of the old time pitchers back when
they could actually pitch late in games and stuff, and
they said, well, just you know, you don't have to
(30:38):
throw one hundred miles an hour every pitch.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
You can use guts and gyle and get people out.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
And you tuck these old time guys and a lot
of them are dying off now, but they'll tell you.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
You know, listen, the solution is there, just go back to.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
The way that they used to get ready, and nobody
wants to do that, so instead they want to radically
change the game that get rid of the two strike
falll ball. So that will obviously, I don't think it's
gonna have although Rob Manford put ghost runners in, so
who knows.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
All right, we'll get back to that time out for
the Insta trivia. Here, we'll go instant trivia.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Only two players have had ten or more hits and
four or more home runs in their first five games

Speaker 2 (32:23):
There's only two players that have had ten or more hits,
including four or more home runs the first five games
of a single postseason. They include steroid Cheat Fernando Tatis
Junior and Blank.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
That is the question, What's the answer?
Speaker 2 (32:37):
Bobby the Brain heenan guest by Rob in Vegas, Jay
Glazer from his Unbreakable podcast from ferg Dog, Henrik Zetterberg,
who's forty four today with the old Detroit red Wing
from Back in the Day, from Late Night Drug tester
Kent Herbeck, Herbie from Eke in Roseville, Minnesota, Jazz Chisholm
(32:58):
or whatever I forty and said Coop a loop guess
by Alf the Alien Old piner Our Buddy Eloy from
Compton says it is none other than steroid.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
Cheat Barry Bonds as the answer. Aaron Judge guest by
Milkman Mike in Colorado, Dat Boy Malcolm says, Homer Bush
is the way to go page down.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
Mike Trout guess by King Rory Super Marcus Steve says
it's Coop's favorite baseball player, Anthony Rendon, Mickey Mantle from
Mark in Santa Monica. Joe Morgan guests by Johnny Cute.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
Who else we have?
Speaker 2 (33:38):
Slim Tim says an ounce of weed is the answer?
Speaker 1 (33:42):
Eddie? Do you have an answer, Eddie?
Speaker 5 (33:45):
Yes, it's former Hartford Whaler's goalie Mike Liute.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
Is it Mike Liute? It's a terrible job by you.
The correct answer, Eddie would be none other than a
part of the cheating. As Carlos Bell trot.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
Way back in twenty oh four, was that with the Mets?
I remember one year he was he went to bananas.
Speaker 6 (34:07):
One year in the playoff.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
Right here we go.
Speaker 4 (34:11):
To the third degree. This is one gets grilled and.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
We say hello to the Koop Dullu.
Speaker 9 (34:21):
The Indianapolis Colts gave up nearly five hundred yards of
offense to the Jaguars this past Sunday, and when asked
about that after the game, Shane Stikeen said that he
has faith in Gus Bradley to turn things around for
the defense. Ben, is Gus Bradley the problem?
Speaker 1 (34:35):
Well, he's not the solution, that's the issue.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
Gus Bradley has been a defensive coordinator in the NFL
and a head coach is twenty oh nine. The last
time he had a top ten defense, if I'm not mistaken,
was with the Chargers in twenty nineteen, but nobody really
gave him much credit for that. They were bad last year,
the the worst defense in the NFL in terms of yards, and.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
Typically you get fired. That's normally what happens.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
I don't care how many positive things Shane Steiken says.
The defense blows in Indy and somebody's gonna lose their
job next.
Speaker 9 (35:08):
It was reported on Monday that the Rams are targeting
Week seven to get Cooper Cupp back out onto the field.
The timeline for Pooka and Nakua's return is less clear
than that. Ben, how much of the rams problems are
due to these guys being out.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
Well, it's not so much Cooper Cupp. They have nobody
that can play defense in the secondary. It's the worst
secondary I've seen in years in the NFL. Their past
defense is obscene. It's illegal in the Bible Belt. They're
not going to be allowed to play in the Bible Belt.
It's that bad, you know, Cooper Cup. It just I
get the vibe Cooper Cupp. He used everything he had
in twenty twenty one, and he's just a shell of
(35:42):
what he has been ever since then. And I'm starting
to think he will never return to greatness. This is
his age thirty one season. He's been nothing but hurt
the last three years, and at some point you just
have to say, this is who Cooper Cup is. He's
never going to be back to the player that he
had been, and for one year he was the greatest
receiver in the NFL.
Speaker 9 (36:02):
Next Clayton Kershaw made just seven starts in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 3 (36:06):
In those starts, I.
Speaker 9 (36:07):
Didn't exactly produce great results. Kershaw has a player option
to return to the Dodgers in twenty twenty five. Do
you think he comes back or is this the year
that Kershaw hangs it up?
Speaker 8 (36:16):
No?
Speaker 1 (36:16):
Why not come back to take more of the Dodgers' money.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
They can have Kershaw Bobblehead Night at Dodgers Stadium, and
you can talk about how great you are in the
regular season against the Rockies and how much.
Speaker 1 (36:25):
You bow in the playoffs. How do we go cool?
You passes Ah. That is a win. You can put
it on the park. I won the game.
Hello and welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
It's our numer two hour two Ready to go. The
Phillies and the Mets the focus of this Malard monologue
on the podcast the NLDS game number three from New York,
and it was all Mets in this game. No contest
who gets the blame for the Phillies futile offense. Also
(00:22):
Mallard's level of concern for the Phillies being on the
edge of elimination.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
And do the Mets have all the momentum as some
are saying.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
We'll get to that and more right now here. It
is our number two.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Well, it seemed it seemed like.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Everything was gonna be okay, and then they had to
play the game. Well gome In the be gaining of
another hour of the Ben Malor Show, we are in
the air everywhere with incoherent talk as we chase waves.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
We do coast to coast, border the.
Speaker 2 (01:09):

Way tire Buying, shultbes or I leave this hour from
Queens Flushing, not far away from LaGuardia, where you cannot
(01:52):
fly all the way across the country because the runways
are not big enough.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Small problem. You have to stop somewhere along the way.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
But that was the stage for Game three of the
National League Divisional Series. The Phillies made the eighty mile
trip up I ninety five to the Big Apple to
play the Mets. In the series tied up at one
one fair to say, a lot on the line, A
lot on the line. Were you engaged? Were you consuming
(02:22):
said baseball product?
Speaker 1 (02:26):
You were not all right? Bad job by you. We
watched so you would not have to.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
But the Philadelphia Phillies had appbsolutely nothing.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
They had absolutely nothing for most of this game.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Pete Alonso and Jesse Winker hitting some towering home runs,
and Aaron Nolas started for Philadelphia. You cannot apparently get
Pete Alonzo out. Not enough Sean Mania, of all people.
Sean Mania took a two hit shutout into the eighth
and the Philadelphia Phillies go down, and they go down hard.
(03:05):
The Mets beat them up seven to two on a
Tuesday in Game three, as Starling Marte, great name and
not a bad postseason season performer, Starling Marte who had
a two run single to help the Mets the wild
card Mets. They played their first home game in over
two weeks. God for bitch staying and all those five
(03:26):
star hotels on the road and the world class travel.
But later on today here's Wednesday, and later on in
Game four, we'll have All star Ranger Suarez scheduled to
start for Philadelphia against bellow left hander Jose Contana Quintana,
and that's it.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
If the Phillies do not win, it is over.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
If the Mets win, they will advance to the Nation
League Championship Series.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
The Mets have here's a fun fact.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
They have never had a clinching celebration at city Field.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
That ballpark's been open.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Now, this is the fifteen years plus I believe that
city Field has been opened and they have yet to
have a celebratory moment there in that ballpark. But let
us discuss. The better story is in the losing locker room.
So who gets the blame? For the Phillies futile and
I do mean futile offense, all right.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
So I've got air B and B.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
And the city and also Uncle Mo.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
We'll get to all that and we'll do it right now.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
We'll put it all together, and we're gonna make biscuits
and gravy. Is that's what the Phillies can eat should
they be eliminated. But to answer the question who gets
to the blame for the Phillies futile offense, well, you've
got to start at the very top, Bryce Harper. There's
some big bats in that lineup, Bryce Harper. The Phillies
did nothing. You know what they did the first part
(05:01):
of the game. They collected. They collected goose eggs is
what they collected. No runs for seven innings and very
few opportunities for the Phillies the first part of this game.
Bryce Harper is the headliner. And even though the Phillies
scored a couple of runs in the eighth inning, the
game was pretty much over at that point for all
competitive reasons, and the Mets were ready to put confetti
(05:23):
up and all that.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
And the Philadelphia Phillies.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Who looked remember last year in the playoffs, they look
like they had the recipe to get it all done,
and then they could not get past the Diamondbacks. They
got all tangled up against Arizona, and here they are
against the Mets and a team that had a lot
of time off like the Dodgers, the Yankees, these teams.
Baseball has set up the postseason in a way where
(05:50):
the top teams all seem to unravel in the divisional round.
But that's not an owt by the reality is that
the Philly a roster that is good enough and should
consistently put runs up. And the fact that they allowed
Sean Maniah Sean, I'm sure Mania is a nice guy,
(06:10):
like he's roster spam, right, Sean Manyah.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
And this guy.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Went out there and you thought you were watching Dwight
Gooden or Ron Darling or some great Mets pitcher of
the past the way that he was absolutely shutting down
and putting goose eggs up of the Philadelphia Phillies lineup.
And so the Phillies are gonna have to have one
of those come to Jesus moments now. So what is
the Mallord level of concern, Malard level of concern.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
For the Philadelphia Phillies here is they.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Are on the edge of elimination, an elimination situation for them.
So for the Philadelphia Phillies here the issue is even
if Rangers Sworez pitches like an All Star. By the way,
one of the great misinformation reports is I saw this
being reported on television, Well, all Star Ranger Suarez will
(07:03):
be on the mountain. You know what Ranger Swarez era
was from July until the end of the year, do
you know, you don't know?
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Right?
Speaker 1 (07:10):
It was over six his earn run average.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Ranger Suarez who's starting later today for the Phillies, his
ERA over the last four starts was over nine for
the Phillies.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
So that's the guy who's pisched recently.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
But even if you were to go out and have
a wonderful performance and just blanket the Mets lineup at
some point, at some point because baseball is bewildering, Ranger
sware is gonna come out of the game and then
the bullpen goes in and the bullpen, if my math
is correct, here, the Philadelphia Phillies bullpen has been the
(07:47):
city sucks City, and they've been at suck City, the
city the Phillies bullpen has given up in nine innings,
seventeen hits and twelve earned runs, which I thought my
math was a little fuzzy. Maybe I screwed that up,
but I went back and I double checked, and I said, no,
the numbers are right on that. The numbers are right,
and you look at where they are right now. So
(08:09):
the bullpens terrible. The offense is spotty, right, they have
not you know, I know they won a game, so
it's not totally depressing, but it's it is upsetting the
way because you watched the Phillis and they're an exciting
team during the regular season, and they got a good
mix if you enjoy offensive baseball.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
There's a lot of bravado.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
But it's not like phony bravado like the Padres have
and all that.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
It's a little different, right, right, a little different there.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
And yet here they are yet again, and it appears
they are being baffled by a second rate, second rate talent.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Right, but the Mather level.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Of concern for the Phillies is again eight point five
out of ten on this because they're about to have
a nice Airbnb, a date, a rental at dial an
excuse go to a place I can dial up an
excuse on what went wrong and who's to blame and
why it didn't work out and why they ended up
mystified with a horrible performance in the last But that
(09:12):
being said, I give the Phillies more of a chance
to come back because I do believe in the lineup
and I do think they'll be able to score some
runs here. The problem is the pitching has just been
absolutely dog food and once that plague starts making its
way through the pitching staff, very rarely does that end
(09:36):
up leaving on a moment's notice. And now the final
part of this is do the Mets have all the momentum?
Speaker 1 (09:44):
All the momentum? So I've seen this as well.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
It's another one of my pet peeves, as you know,
if you've heard the show over.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
The years, the old momentum.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
They got all the momentum, all the moment And okay, well,
I would like to point out one of the great
quotes in cinema from Matthew McConaughey in The Wolf of
Wall Street when he was talking about the number one
rule of Wall Street. Remember this scene is somewhat old
movie there, but he said, he said that nobody knows
(10:17):
if a stock is going up or down, sideways or
in circles.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Right.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
But he then talked about what I think would be
the description of momentum.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
It's all for gayze, right, it's all for gayzy. And yeah,
you know what fu gayzy is?
Speaker 2 (10:32):
If gayzy for ghazi, whatever it's it's it's wazy, it's woozy,
it's all.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
It's very dust is what it is, doesn't exist. There
is no such thing as momentum.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
And you look at this series and then it was
one one, so there is no momentum there.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Now it's two to one. Now the Phillies can come
back and win that, but there's no momentum. And so it's.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
A misnomer that dumb people continue to repeat over and
over again.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
But at some point one of these two teams this
is gonna cry uncle.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
And right now it's leaning towards it's local leaning towards
the Phillies because their bullpen is completely chopped up and they.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Can't camouflage that.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
In the modern game, there are no diversionary tactics that
you can do other than the starting picture going all
the way, and that is not allowed. You would have
a war tribunal if your starting pitcher went the entire game.
It just would not happen, cannot do it.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
It is the Ben Mather Show.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
If you would like to be part of this, you
are more of the welcome to join us here as
we open up the lines to you on a speak
easy kind of night. Some of you have said, hey,
when's the next newby Night? And that is a fair point.
Maybe we'll do a newby Night tomorrow on the show.
It seems like a nice thing to do a newby
Night tomorrows'll we'll consider that, but it is not a
(11:53):
new Night. But does not mean you cannot call if
you're not a regular? Boy, would I'd rather talk to you.
I'd rather talk to you than the regulars. I would
not that I don't hate the regulars, but some new
voices mix them in as well. So we'll take your
calls also on X at Ben Mahlor, that is at
Ben Mahlor. If you want to be part of said program,
(12:16):
we will take your phone calls as we work our way.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Through the overnight hours. Had a coaching change in the NFL.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Couple quarterback changes as well, and we're starting here with baseball. Also,
the Dodger Padre series still available to converse about as
the Padres edge out the Dodgers in Game number three,
So that's a two to one situation. Is a radical
change coming to baseball? A radical change? And also back
(12:44):
in black, back in black. We'll get to that and
we will do it.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Next.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maler
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on

Speaker 5 (13:02):
The Ben Malburgs Show is a collaborative effort. You're invited
to communicate with.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
Those of us on this side of the microphones.
Speaker 5 (13:07):

Speaker 3 (13:14):
He is manning the phones. If you want to call
in and get in on the show.
Speaker 5 (13:17):
You got to go through him. But he's more than
just a call screener. He is the liar, liar and
the menace of the Fox Sports Radio network. It's the
Coop the Loop, Justin Cooper, and he's at uh bronco
fan Octopussy and Alive from the tyrack dot Com. Fox
Sports Radio Studios. It's Ben Mallor.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
We are rolling through the late night hours here, we'll
get back to the calls coming up. Momentarily began this
hour with the fighting fills and the Mets not much
fight in the fighting pills offensively, as they did not
get or done when the game was in the balance.
Shot to the solar plexus there did not go.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Well.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
We'll take your comments now. Stevie Meatball says, a newbie
night should work out well for you tomorrow night, since
all your Florida callers will be drowning. He says, well,
he's in Florida and he's Steven Meatballs is in Florida.
He says, he's in Daytona Beach, Ormon Beach, part of
the Greater Daytona area.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Yeah, I am worried about Jack the Judge and Leslie.
I looked.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Now, I don't know if this has changed, but a
few hours ago, I was looking at one of those
weather modules, because I really know what I'm looking at
when I look at a weather module, and it said
that the storm was going right like a direct bullseyes
gonna hit like Braydendon, like right through where Jack the
Judge and.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Less they are they heading out of town.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Well, Leslie probably would, but I don't know I've not
heard from them. Jack the judge normally wants to stay.
One thing I've learned about my friends from Florida, they
like to stay. It's like a badge of honor. It's
like you're a fake Floridian if you leave. But there
are shelters you can go to. There are shelters that
you can go to and hang out and they say though,
you're safe there. So I don't know how they determine
(15:09):
what is safe and what's not safe. If the wind's
blowing the same the same speed no matter where you are,
but you know this is this is going to hit
make landfall? What was it later today?
Speaker 1 (15:21):
When when's the hit time on this? Do we know?
Speaker 3 (15:23):
I thought it was over overnight, that it.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Was like Now, I thought it was supposed to be yesterday. No,
I wasn't yesterday.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Yeah, I thought it was tonight. So now that's what
I thought. I got not.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
You know, you know, the weather guy is I'm.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
Not Actually you're not. That's what I thought I heard.
Don't don't go to the bank on that.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Well, latest reports are there millions of people, there's curfews,
everyone's on lockdown, and there are photos I'm looking at
here of pretty decent sized cities in Florida that are
completely desolate.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
They're saying one hundred and fifty.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Five mile hour winds storm surgeon up to fifteen feet
in place like Tampa, Orlando and Fort Myers. So we'll see, Now,
hopefully this is all false advertising and we can look
back and goof on the media and say you were
just trying to scare people and all that. But just
in case they're not trying to scare people out of
(16:19):
an abundance of caution, you probably should should pay attention.
It's expected to make landfall in Tampa, the Tampa Bay
area later tonight, So later tonight. Now this saying wins
up to one hundred and seventy five miles are they
just making up that number? How do they know that exactly?
How do they are they flying? Do they fly those
(16:39):
planes still into the.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
I think they have that you know, blow in the wind?
Speaker 3 (16:43):
Yes, the thing is that blow in the wind. That
is accurate? Yes?
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Yeah, Now don't they usually fly planes into the hurricane
like there's wet.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
Storm chasers or something.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Yeah, well no, but that's like tornadoes, you know, in
the air.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Don't they have a plane though that does that then
storm chasers, Well.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
I'm talking hurricanes different though, butt like a tornado in
the in the Midwest, like in Kansas or somewhere like that,
they'll have they'll people drive around.
Speaker 5 (17:06):
I know, I'm talking about they flying a plane into
a hurricane to find out how.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Oh yeah, yeah, that's what I'm saying, if they'll fly
the plane there. So this is crazy though. Six million
of our brothers and sisters are under hurricane morning.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Six million people.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Are under a hurricane is an insane amount of people
hanging out in that Gulf of Mexico, that storm in
the Gulf of Mexico. So now it is the Ben
Mather Show as we are a rolling, rolling rolling, uh
my guy's sports with Coleman who does his father lives
in in Sarasota. I believe it is an It says
(17:45):
a landfall be around this time, so tomorrow they're projecting
tomorrow right around this time, so middle of the night
near Sarasota in Tampa, I suppose.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
So getting my.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Weather from sports with women where I always get my weather.
He has all all the answers, all the answers. Let's
you can't read that on it, I'd say let's take
a call. Let's see who do we have here? Well,
any meany miny mo. Let's say hello to Jola, who's
in Dallas. Hello, Jola, welcome?
Speaker 6 (18:23):
Yea.
Speaker 7 (18:23):
How's it going man?
Speaker 1 (18:25):
This guy you're always so happy. You sound like you're
just the happiest guy in the world.
Speaker 7 (18:29):
Man, you gotta be man, it's no way you can
be shot.
Speaker 8 (18:31):
Hey.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
No.
Speaker 7 (18:32):
So, first of all, prayers out to those people in Florida.
Speaker 8 (18:35):
Man.
Speaker 7 (18:35):
You know, it's tough when you don't got fund or
saw a video. It's tough when you don't got a
way to get out. All those the gas stations are
drawing stuff as shaddy. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Yeah, I know, it's it sucks.
Speaker 7 (18:47):
Yeah, you know living Katrina. You know we you know,
so we see that the what is it?
Speaker 6 (18:54):
Global warming?
Speaker 7 (18:55):
It's crazy? Great.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Well, they've they've always been they've always been hurricanes in Florida.
I mean, they've been bad hurricanes and all that. I
think the difference between a hurricane like an earthquake. They
don't really warn you there's an earthquake. It just kind
of happens, or.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
They get like a thirty second warning or something like that.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Right, But one of the cool things, one of.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
The cool things about a hurricane is you they tell you, like, hey,
it's going to be here.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
You know, yes, for sure, you can prepare.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
But again, I mean I have friends that live in
Florida and they all they brag about it. They look
down upon the people that leave. But that doesn't mean
open I'm telling you, man. But also, you gotta have
somewhere else to go. I mean that's the other problem, right,
I mean, you have somewhere to go.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
That's the issue of a friend.
Speaker 7 (19:40):
But man, hey, let's talk about the guests deal. What's
up with Robert Sharlotte on them? Man, that's a debacle.
Speaker 9 (19:47):
Huh?
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Is that a debacle? He did a bad job. If
you do a bad job, you get fired. That's what happened.
He did a bad job, and that's what happens. I mean,
that's to go. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
They still have clean Is that still a thing?
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Mister c the logo?
Speaker 3 (20:03):
Yeah? Is that is that brand still?
Speaker 1 (20:05):
H Yeah? Mister clean still brown version?
Speaker 3 (20:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (20:14):
But Freddie Freeman Arthur trotting to that beage. That's a
man's man right there. Truly, even though they took to
l they're not going to beat those young boys from
San Diego.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
All they have to do is win two more games.
It's not that hard. It's back they could win.
Speaker 7 (20:35):
So Connie was pitching, I'm taking that he wasn't.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Even that good a picture. Why would you say that
he's a better.
Speaker 7 (20:41):
Hitter than he's a pitcher.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
He's not a great thone in Beller show Todd, He's
a great man, a great hitters.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
He's not a great pitcher. He's a great hitter.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
He's not he's a little above average pitcher. He's an
all time great hitter.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
What is funny? Ain's funny about that? I'm just telling
you the reality.
Speaker 7 (21:02):
Yes, I'm just like topping it up. Shout o Coop,
shout out Lorena.
Speaker 8 (21:06):
Those are the people right there that keep the show goal.
Speaker 7 (21:08):
Hey, shout out Eddie, shout out Eddie. Hey, but listen,
Mandy Macho. I want to plunngge him in the face. Man,
he's annoying. A couple of years play Dan France versus
when he was in Baltimore. Yeah, I mean the padre
is a bust of tools.
Speaker 9 (21:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
The padres are like a professional wrestling pressure wrestling. It's
like the whole time you got like a bunch of
you know, the baby faces and the heels. They're all
mixed together there. You know, good guys the bad guys.
Speaker 7 (21:40):
Joy Man, that's crazy. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
You're not supposed to bring that up.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
According to that loser that sent us a message earlier,
you're supposed to forget about that.
Speaker 7 (21:49):
Bro was out there pitching. I love the team, but
without Joe musk Grove.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
You know a lot of a lot of people can't
watch baseball without Joe Muskrove, who was on the treating
any part of the cheating a strong back in the day.
Speaker 7 (22:05):
I love that.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
I bet you do. I bet you do.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Every buzzer you got a little turned on every time
they hit a trash.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Every time you see a trash.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Tan, it reminds you of ol two bays down here.
Speaker 8 (22:18):
We gotta live, we gotta get it.
Speaker 7 (22:19):
We're going win every way possible. All those people that
are coming, you know, from the hurricane and come to Texas,
we're gonna take care of him. We're gonna show them
by the wind.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Yeah, okay, I'm sure that's all right. Go away, all right,
thank you, there, you go very happy. That's good. We
have to have balance.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
Because we had an angry bill On who hates life
and hates everything and can't stand the show, but listens
to the show every night.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
And then we had we had.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Him Jola, who's like, loves everything, just happy living his
life with a smile and a chuckle, having a fine time,
having a fine, fine time.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
You know what the show is missing?
Speaker 3 (23:00):
In fact?
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Yep, fun fact.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
All right, Well, do you raise your level of play
or do you lower your level of play?
Speaker 1 (23:09):
In October?
Speaker 2 (23:10):
We mentioned the Phillies and the Mets earlier. Aaron Nola
of the Fighting Phills. In the regular season, he has
allowed two or more home runs in seventeen point two
percent of his starts in the regular season, less than
twenty percent in the postseason though ten postseason starts and
four of the ten, so forty percent of the time,
(23:32):
Aaron Nola has allowed two or more home runs, including
the game against the Mets on Tuesday night, So not
exactly stepping his game up in October baseball, which is.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
A problem, I believe.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Let's go to the phones and we'll say hello to
Let's see here at page let's say hello to Shane,
who's in Florida.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Hello Shane, welcome. What part of Florida are you in there?
Shane o't come.
Speaker 6 (23:58):
Hey, hey man, that's actually Ormond Beach, not Ormond. I'm
from the Ormond Beach.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Alright, I just want.
Speaker 6 (24:07):
To correct you.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
You suck this Stevie.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Are you Stevie Meatballs?
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Me?
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Oh, that's the guy.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
The guy that said that was Stevie Meatballs. That's why
I ready, I blame him.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
My fault. Stevie Meatballs is the guy.
Speaker 6 (24:23):
Come on, everyone calls it Ormond, It's actually Ormonde Ormond and.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
This bothers you greatly.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
You called up to tell me to correct me, so
I will never make that mistake again.
Speaker 6 (24:35):
No, no, I've done to try to bother you. I
just want to let you know. Everyone says it wrong,
that's all.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Well, if everyone says it wrong, then the legend becomes
the fact.
Speaker 6 (24:43):
Go with the legend, right, I guess that makes sense?
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Yeah, fun fun fact, Sane, you want a fun fact?
The word fun fact? The word saloon misspelled, supposed to
be salon. They misspelled it. Put an extra O in there,
so we have saloon.
Speaker 6 (25:00):
Oh, I did not know that.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
That's a true story. I'm not making that up.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
It's supposed to be salon and they misspelled it the
early days of America and they put an extra O
in there.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
And so we have saloon.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
But it's supposed to say you're supposed to go to
a salon, but it's actually we changed it to saloon.
Speaker 6 (25:17):
See I learned something.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
So Shane, are you bunkering down here? Is the storm
coming right where you are? Or you can get the
tail end of it where you will? You give me
the update?
Speaker 6 (25:25):
Right? My wife and kids are a Norman. I feel
like the biggest a hole in the world. I'm a
truck driver head to Las Vegas right now against because
I got your job to do, and my wife and
kids are down there, and I feel like the biggest
jerk right now.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
You couldn't throw them in the truck with you and said, hey,
let's go for a road trip.
Speaker 6 (25:43):
I wanted to get home, but I'm just a company driver.
I gotta go where I got to go. And I'm
just like, honestly, I'm scared of this. What's going on
down there? For everybody camp on the all across the state.
But yeah, that's where they're at. I'm going. I'm going
to Vegas.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
So do you have a way to stay in touch
with them somehow?
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (26:04):
My wife's like, you know, if we lose far reception,
so contacted through Facebook and personal message or something. All right,
we're probably gonna lose reception. I don't know. Just now,
I'm gonna watch from where I'm at.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Are they gonna go to a shelter and hang out.
Speaker 6 (26:18):
No, they're stuck. They're stuck. I got my house all,
you know, boarded up. They couldn't get out. There's no gas,
it's everything shut down. It's terrible.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
All right, Well, good luck, let us know, let us
know how goes. Hopefully everyon'll be all right, and uh
we'll get through this the next days. All right, thank you,
safe traveling. Sh You got bills to play. I understand, man,
you got a job, and I do respect the hustle.
That's a tough spot to be in, right, You got
your job, you lose your job, you know, the whole thing,
and you gotta gotta gotta pay the bills.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
All right. It is the band Malla show.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
Let's go to uh see here, Kevin is in the
Sunshine State.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Is this our guy, Kevin? Hello, Kevin, Welcome.
Speaker 4 (27:01):
Here.
Speaker 8 (27:01):
I am and I'm inside.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
But yeah, I can hear you have high ceilings.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
I can tell it's really good.
Speaker 8 (27:09):
But but I have a new apartment I moved into
from Titusville, which was safe anyway.
Speaker 7 (27:16):
But what happens in this.
Speaker 8 (27:17):
Area we're near We're all near where I live in
central Florida. We're near Cape Cannabel Air Force Station and
Kennedy Space Center where I used to work on the shuttle.
Speaker 7 (27:27):
But what happens is.
Speaker 8 (27:28):
You might have heard about it or seen it on
the map. There's like a point of land and they strategically,
you know, did research and there's very little, big time
damage that happens.
Speaker 7 (27:40):
In this whole area.
Speaker 8 (27:41):
But this thing's going to be hitting Saint Petersburg and
Tampa and in behind all these stories I heard you
talking about and I got a call. Yeah, exaggeration all
a mode. It's a buffet of exaggeration. Now it's going
to be bad news, especially for the West coast. Once
it over the land and the cool the cooler, the
(28:03):
temperature of the land settles down, the winds and it
we don't know how bad it's going to be. But
all I can say is, I've done this for thirty
six years. I've been living in this area. And what
name is a truck driver? I just if he's still listen,
(28:25):
he probably is. Give him some solace and I'll be
praying for him and all these people. My son who
he has a pressure washing business, and my dear son Derek.
He now, but his last three or four days, from
like sunrise the sundown, he is doing shutters. All these
richer people who have their own shutters. He's getting paid
(28:47):
buku bucks, but he's putting up shutters on their windows.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
Okay, it's a smart thing to do. Good for him.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
He's making some money here, yeah, and.
Speaker 8 (29:00):
He makes tons of money putting on Christmas lights for
rich people, right, and any good I can take them down.
So anyway, thank you.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Back, all right, all right, thank you, thank you. Kevin.
All Right, I got Kevin.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Next time he calls, I'll have to ask him about
the Space Shuttle. Big Space shuttle guy back in the day.
He's love that big deal. Of course, I was in
school when the Space shuttle. Unfortunately, the first one that
blew up there, I.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
Was little Houston.
Speaker 6 (29:27):
We have a problem.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
They had us all watching, and they had a teacher
on the plane and it was a dramatic moment in
my life because they it's all what happened to didn't
quite make it is the Ben Mather Show. So the
Texas Rangers not in the playoffs, but the team doctor
for the Rangers proposing a radical change to prevent injuries. Now,
(29:49):
guy named Keith Meister. Doctor Keith Meister has proposed banning
two strike foul balls. Say what, yeah, yeah, he is
saying that they should get rid to improve pitture health.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Ban two strike foul balls.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
This is his solution, and he believes that will save pitchers.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
A ban the continuing foul balls here.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
And I'll cut down on pitch counts, push pitchers to
put more balls in play and shortened games. So he
wants to fundamentally change the way baseball's played. And I
recall telling some of the old time pitchers back when
they could actually pitch late in games and stuff, and
they said, well, just you know, you don't have to
(30:38):
throw one hundred miles an hour every pitch.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
You can use guts and gyle and get people out.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
And you tuck these old time guys and a lot
of them are dying off now, but they'll tell you.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
You know, listen, the solution is there, just go back to.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
The way that they used to get ready, and nobody
wants to do that, so instead they want to radically
change the game that get rid of the two strike
falll ball. So that will obviously, I don't think it's
gonna have although Rob Manford put ghost runners in, so
who knows.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
All right, we'll get back to that time out for
the Insta trivia. Here, we'll go instant trivia.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Only two players have had ten or more hits and
four or more home runs in their first five games
of a single postseason. They include Steroid Chat, Fernando to

Speaker 2 (32:23):
There's only two players that have had ten or more hits,
including four or more home runs the first five games
of a single postseason. They include steroid Cheat Fernando Tatis
Junior and Blank.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
That is the question, What's the answer?
Speaker 2 (32:37):
Bobby the Brain heenan guest by Rob in Vegas, Jay
Glazer from his Unbreakable podcast from ferg Dog, Henrik Zetterberg,
who's forty four today with the old Detroit red Wing
from Back in the Day, from Late Night Drug tester
Kent Herbeck, Herbie from Eke in Roseville, Minnesota, Jazz Chisholm
(32:58):
or whatever I forty and said Coop a loop guess

Compton says it is none other than steroid.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
Cheat Barry Bonds as the answer. Aaron Judge guest by
Milkman Mike in Colorado, Dat Boy Malcolm says, Homer Bush
is the way to go page down.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
Mike Trout guess by King Rory Super Marcus Steve says
it's Coop's favorite baseball player, Anthony Rendon, Mickey Mantle from
Mark in Santa Monica. Joe Morgan guests by Johnny Cute.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
Who else we have?
Speaker 2 (33:38):
Slim Tim says an ounce of weed is the answer?
Speaker 1 (33:42):
Eddie? Do you have an answer, Eddie?
Speaker 5 (33:45):
Yes, it's former Hartford Whaler's goalie Mike Liute.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
Is it Mike Liute? It's a terrible job by you.
The correct answer, Eddie would be none other than a
part of the cheating. As Carlos Bell trot.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
Way back in twenty oh four, was that with the Mets?
I remember one year he was he went to bananas.
Speaker 6 (34:07):
One year in the playoff.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
Right here we go.
Speaker 4 (34:11):
To the third degree. This is one gets grilled and.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
We say hello to the Koop Dullu.
Speaker 9 (34:21):
The Indianapolis Colts gave up nearly five hundred yards of
offense to the Jaguars this past Sunday, and when asked
about that after the game, Shane Stikeen said that he
has faith in Gus Bradley to turn things around for
the defense. Ben, is Gus Bradley the problem?
Speaker 1 (34:35):
Well, he's not the solution, that's the issue.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
Gus Bradley has been a defensive coordinator in the NFL
and a head coach is twenty oh nine. The last
time he had a top ten defense, if I'm not mistaken,
was with the Chargers in twenty nineteen, but nobody really
gave him much credit for that. They were bad last year,
the the worst defense in the NFL in terms of yards, and.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
Typically you get fired. That's normally what happens.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
I don't care how many positive things Shane Steiken says.
The defense blows in Indy and somebody's gonna lose their
job next.
Speaker 9 (35:08):
It was reported on Monday that the Rams are targeting
Week seven to get Cooper Cupp back out onto the field.
The timeline for Pooka and Nakua's return is less clear
than that. Ben, how much of the rams problems are
due to these guys being out.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
Well, it's not so much Cooper Cupp. They have nobody
that can play defense in the secondary. It's the worst
secondary I've seen in years in the NFL. Their past
defense is obscene. It's illegal in the Bible Belt. They're
not going to be allowed to play in the Bible Belt.
It's that bad, you know, Cooper Cup. It just I
get the vibe Cooper Cupp. He used everything he had
in twenty twenty one, and he's just a shell of
(35:42):
what he has been ever since then. And I'm starting
to think he will never return to greatness. This is
his age thirty one season. He's been nothing but hurt
the last three years, and at some point you just
have to say, this is who Cooper Cup is. He's
never going to be back to the player that he
had been, and for one year he was the greatest
receiver in the NFL.
Speaker 9 (36:02):
Next Clayton Kershaw made just seven starts in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 3 (36:06):
In those starts, I.
Speaker 9 (36:07):
Didn't exactly produce great results. Kershaw has a player option
to return to the Dodgers in twenty twenty five. Do
you think he comes back or is this the year
that Kershaw hangs it up?
Speaker 8 (36:16):
No?
Speaker 1 (36:16):
Why not come back to take more of the Dodgers' money.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
They can have Kershaw Bobblehead Night at Dodgers Stadium, and
you can talk about how great you are in the
regular season against the Rockies and how much.
Speaker 1 (36:25):
You bow in the playoffs. How do we go cool?
You passes Ah. That is a win. You can put
it on the park. I won the game.
