I know there'll be a stampede. Everyone will be cranking
on the radios because happy time is almost here. Lame
Jokes of the week coming up a little bit later
in the overnight, so we look forward to that.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
In the meantime, we.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Pause the NFL conversation for some hot spall talk. What So,
it was the start of free agency. Did you see
all of the big signings in free agency?
Speaker 2 (03:08):
No, okay, because there weren't any.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Very modest beginning, very modest beginning to baseball free agency.
But we do have a baseball story. While the Broncos
had issues with the Raiders, even though the Broncos ended
up winning the game, the major league baseball team in
town said, hold our beer, and we learned that the
Rockies have agreed, although the contract hasn't been signed, they've
(03:34):
agreed to hire Paul deep Podesta. Yep, that's the same guy,
Paul D. Podesta, who has been the chief strategy officer
of the Cleveland Browns. Now, you might not remember. The
Rockies and Browns have a great rivalry. It's a really
(03:54):
hard hitting rivalry. So deep Pedesta's apparently, if I read
this properly, going to be the face of the Rockies
baseball ops department.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Congratulations.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
That is the same Paul de Podesta, who has not
been involved in Major League Baseball in over a decade.
That is the same Paul de Podesta who was last
a general manager twenty years ago. He lasted less than
two years and was mollywopped by the Dodgers. That is
(04:26):
the same Paul de Podesta who was depicted by the
formerly rotund Jonah Hill as an analytical guru in the
movie Moneyball, but refused to let his name be.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Used in the movie. So yeah, he's you know, he's
a nut job? Are you You?
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Wait a minute, So somebody wants to make a movie
about you, but you won't allow them to use your name.
What kind of douche movie is that? Somebody wants to
make a movie about me? Of course you gotta pay me,
but you can use my name. So this is all
a good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question
can you wrap your rain around a professional baseball team.
Not a good one, the Colorado Rockies hiring Paul deep
(05:07):
Podesta away from an NFL franchise to the Cleveland Brown
So on this one, I've got hookah bar, misdoubtfire, and
gypsy Kings, and we will connect all of these things
together and we'll go green light, go, green light go now.
(05:28):
First of all, so let me tell you the bast
So when I saw this, it's jaw dropping.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
It's absolutely jaw dropping.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Paul de Podesta was incompetent when he was the Dodgers
general manager twenty years ago. I can't imagine he's improved
much since then. He hasn't touched a baseball roster. The
last time he was the GM, people were using flip phones. Okay,
do you understand Twitter had not been born yet, like
social media was. I mean, people were still using Aol
(05:59):
online and all that. So it was a different world
the last time he was a GM. And so what
happened here, It's like, did some guy in ownership for
the Rockies just like throw a dart.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
At the organizational chart and said, all right, let's hire
this guy.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Say hey, find me the guy that Jonah Hill played well,
he's with an NFL team. I want that guy to
run my baseball team. Really, God bless those dysfunctional Colorado Rockies.
And they're really making here a spin off of Moneyball.
They're changing the name a little bit, and the new
name is it's a spinoff. It's called Funnyball. Funny Ball.
(06:38):
You really can't make this up. It's crossing movies. It's
not only Moneyball, it's also the iconic movie Major League.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
It's Taboo. Now it's about a team called the Cleveland Indians.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
They're now named after a bridge. So I imagine the
owner of the Rockies called up Paul d.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Podesta.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
I did the the ring ring, you know, I didn't
text him, call him up and said, hey, hey, yeah
this is a this is so and so Joe Blow
I owned the Rockies here, Yeah, how would you like
to be the GM of the Rockies this upcoming year?
Speaker 2 (07:11):
And then and then Paul de Podesta responds, he said,
I don't know, I don't know if I want to
do that.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
And then the Rockies owner comes back on the phone,
and the Rockies owners like, well, what do you mean
you don't know? This is your chance to be a
GM again. In Major League Baseball, in the big leagues.
And then and then Paul de Podesta comes back and
he says.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Well, let me get back to you.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Well, yeah, mister owner guy, I got a guy on
the other line there that's asking about some white walls.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
One of the all time great scenes. Uh.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Anyway, the Rockies clearly went to a hookah bar, not
with Luca. It went on a hookah Luca bar, but
went they went to a hookah bar to smoke the
wacky Tobacci in thin air there. Now, a buddy of
mine had sent me a message.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
I actually had a couple of messages.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Because I wake up, I sleep, the world happens because
part of doing the open so I don't sleep much,
but it seems like a lot of stuff happens when
I sleep.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
So I get up. It's very free wheeling with the
people sending me stuff there.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Do you see this? Well, no, I was sleeping, but
you should. You should react to that. I'm sleeping. So
so I'm getting messages about Paul de Podesta going to Colorado,
and I wrote back, I said that the first person
that semi that said that's pretty funny.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
It's April Fools is We're in November. It's not April fool,
so you didn't get me.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
I was around the Dodgers back before I was exiled
when they signed Otani, and that was in the good
graces with the Dodgers. I was around the team when
they had Paul de Podesta's the GM. He was fired
as the Dodger GM A generation to go.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
He was so bad? How bad was he? He was
so bad? Paul de Podesta.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Okay, there was a fan revolt, there was an uprising,
and you look at the Dodgers now there the model franchise.
Everyone wants to be like the Dodgers back then, though
those years were no as the heat Soop Troy era
of Dodger baseball seems like a lifetime ago considering how
dominant the Dodgers have been, how much money they've thrown around.
(09:11):
Deep Adesta was so bad with the players he acquired
that the fans revolted. And he's been off doing football
accounting for the Brownies, a team while he's been there,
fifty six wins, ninety nine losses in one tie. Now
that is a resume that gets you promoted. And the
(09:34):
Rockies they have allergies. One of their allergies is they're
allergic to competence. And they look at the one team
in the NFL that over all of the people talk
about the Jets being bad, and we'll talk, I'm sure
more about the Jets, Lebrun.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
They talk about the Jets being bad and this team
being bad.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
The Cleveland Browns, though their persona is the factory of sadness?
Does it get any better than that? And so there
we are. Let's hire the Browns analytical guy who's such
a weirdo he wouldn't let the Hollywood people use his
name yet again, though, has anyone in management in professional
(10:15):
sports been as fortunate born with a golden lucky horseshoe
up his tukis like Paul deep Potesta, you talk about
falling upwards, classic case. Now people sometimes failed their way
up the corporate ladder, and the key to life in
that world is to have someone say you're going to
(10:35):
be great.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
You don't actually have to be great.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
You don't have to actually be great, You just have
to have enough people believe that you should be great.
That athletic team that they wrote Moneyball about was twenty two,
twenty three years ago, and Paul Deepatesta is still getting
work off that job. And oh, by the way, Billy
(10:58):
Bean was the face of it, not Paul de Podesta.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
All right.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Secondly, does Sanday I go, we go show me your
lightning bolt?
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Well, not anyone.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
So former Major League Baseball reliever Craig Stamen has been hired.
The former reliever who was involved in the interviewing process.
So this guy was in management for the Podres. Craig
Stamon was interviewing managerial candidates in San Diego and he
hired himself for the position to replace Mike Schildt, who
(11:34):
quit as the Podres manager. So the question, my chances
are you don't know who this guy is as far
as his playing career, he was a bullpen spam guy.
But Craig Stamen hired himself to manage the Podres.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
How does that sound to you? All right, So I'm
gonna go first. It sounds to me like Jeopardy, is
what it sounds like.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
You remember a couple of years back when they had
this guy named Mike Richards who was the producer of Jeopardy,
and he was deputized to find the replacement when Alex
Trebek died, and so they played this game who should
be the host of Jeopardy?
Speaker 2 (12:15):
And he brought all these people in to interview for
the new auditions and all that stuff, and Ken Jennings
was part of that, and the guy from the Reading Rainbow,
and they brought all these guys in and then he
picked himself. So it's the same thing here.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
This guy's stamen basically looked around the room at all
the candidates and said, eh, you know what, I'm the
top candidate.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
And the ownership in San Diego signed.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Off on it, just like the Rockies dysfunction junction, what's
your function? The Padres have gone through more managers then
Fernando Tatisse has gone through hairstyles, but Black Andy Green,
someone named Jace Tinler, Bob Melvin, Mike Schilt.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
All of that, and now they've added another one in
this former picture.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Six full time managers, same GM, Six full time managers,
same GM. It is a revolving door with a sign
that says abandoned all stability. Ye who enter. It's a
pirate's life for me. And when you manage the Padres,
(13:24):
it is proof you don't need any in all these
big league jobs. Is say you do not need a
resume of work. You don't need to cut your teeth
in the minor leagues and learn how to manage in
the big leagues.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
No, no, no, it's all done for you, which is kind
of cool. Like you could manage, I could manage. Any
of us could manage. It's just a.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Popularity contest getting the job. It's all in the binder,
it's all in the tablet. It's all that The Podre Manager.
This is a dated reference, but it's a classic movie.
The Padres Manager is going to be missus doubtfire right,
Miss Dauphire, a rock up in Williams classic The Great
Late comedian Housekeeper Vibes.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Now what do I mean by that? When you manage
the padres, you.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Are deputized to babysit two long term divas. It's the
diva diva ball Manny Machado, who's locked up through twenty
thirty three. Twenty thirty three, Machado is locked up. Then
you've got Fernando Tatis who likes the peds. He's locked
(14:30):
up through twenty thirty four. So it's kind of like
living inside.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
A Drake song. It's all about the stars, wants and needs.
When you manage the Padres.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
And that was one of the problems that Mike Schilt
add he was tied of the bull crap with Machado
and Tatis.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
And so that's it.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
So Staman better get used to managing oversized egos.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
That are going to be there way after you're done
managing the padres.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
Not about changes, it's not about batting average, it's not
about any of that.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
It's about making.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Those guys happy because the clubhouse is not exactly going well. Right,
It's like a it's not a chemistry lab. It's a
reality show. What's going on in San Diego? And aj
Preler is the GM and good luck, good luck? All
right now, quick right, we go to Toronto where the
(15:26):
Blue Jays are still licking their wounds after losing.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
They were right there in the upright position, ready to
win until they weren't. Well. Some changes in Toronto.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
We learned that Donnie Baseball Don Mattingly is out as
the blue Jay bench coach.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
The story is he's leaving the job.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Question why is Donnie Baseball leaving Toronto's coaching staff after.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Winning the American League Pennant?
Speaker 1 (15:55):
All right, now, let me before I get to why,
let me address the snuffles in the room, so we
ask a question, is this actual the coach leaving or
is this something else? So on this one, I believe
Don Mattingly did legitimately want out for whatever reason. Maybe
he was just tired of dealing with crossing the border
(16:18):
and stuff, and it seems pretty smooth to me. But
some of these guys complain about going through customs and
all that stuff, so it's possible that's the case.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
However, I think there's something more in place, something more
nefarious in play.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
When you talk about Don Maddie, Mattingly does enjoy the
nomadic lifestyle. He's got the Gypsy Kings vibes playing in
his AirPods. He's Baseball's gypsy. He's a carpet bagger, and
when you're a carpet bagger, you have to follow the
carpet bagger creed, which is weird because he only played
with the Yankees as a coach or a manager. Mattingly
(16:53):
has been bouncing back and forth like he's in a
pinball machine. So your role in the town, when you're
a carpet bagger, you follow the creed. You roll in
the town, you put on the uniform, you smile, you
take some photos, you collect the per diem, you roll
out before the parking validation expires, and you move on
to your next hustle. You gotta do the hustle and
(17:14):
onto the next spot out in the boondocks somewhere. The
doing something different line that is always a tell when
I hear I just felt like.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Doing something different. That is a deck Do you what?
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Deck?
Speaker 3 (17:29):
Do what?
Speaker 2 (17:30):
It is?
Speaker 1 (17:32):
It's baseball speak for I'm not telling you the truth,
and I'm certainly not telling you where I'm going.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
But I have a rabbit up my sleeve, I doubt
so where would that be? Now?
Speaker 1 (17:47):
The smart money is that don Mattingly has a side
deal with the Philadelphia Phillies, that Donnie Baseball is going
to end up with Jonathan in Delaware and Fried Daddy
and Fats in Philadelphia and all those guys in Philly.
Now why do I say that, Well, Donnie Baseball, this
(18:08):
is a hire a friend situation. Rob Thompson would be
the conciliary, right, the conciliary there in Philadelphia, and Mattingly
would be that for Thompson.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Now, as I recall, Rob Thompson spent a.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Long time in the Bronx before he became the Philadelphia
Phillies manager there so he can have a little.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Brox Bombers reunion on Broad Street.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
And the Phillies are going to change their roster over
a lot, so you throw Mattingly in there with a buddy,
hire a friend, Rob Thompson the manager in Philadelphia, and
then Mattingly becomes the conciliary and all that stuff. But
Maddingly a bit of a wise guy, like one of
those dudes who's always in the mix. He's never out
of the conversation, and he can have a job in
(18:56):
baseball the rest of his life, lifetime employment for on
Maddingly at this point, he's like traveling around like a
lollipop salesman.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
You know.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
When he did some radio stuff locally in Boston, one
of the other talk shows at night sold lollipops. He
was a lollipop salesman, and he told me, I don't
have time to get into it here, but he told me,
like how competitive the lollipop market is. And you don't
even realize it, but he traveled all over the place
selling lollipops.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
It's like that's kind of a weird job.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
But you had to meet with target and Walmart, and
it's all about the product placement.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
As he told me.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
He said, Ben, you know, no one ever goes to
a store to buy a lollipop, but we sell a
lot of them. And I said, well, how do you
sell them? He say, it's all about that impulse purchase
the thing you don't need all that crap when you
check out, and just put them right there. And if
you put on the right spot at eye level, people
will buy lollipops. They didn't go in thinking about lollipops,
(19:58):
but they'll buy them. It is the Ben Mahllor Show.

Let's get to the phones. We'll say hello to Blind Scott,
who's on the north end of Boston. Hello, Blind Scott, welcome?
Speaker 4 (25:35):
Oh hey, yeah. I was lost by the bacon in
the grocery store today and one of the intercot shoppers
noticed that I was in like a different area than
I usually came over to help me, and I really
was lost. It's easy to get lost in a store
you go to every day if you're blind. Dude. I
got a bunch of seats and assist letters I'm sending
out today on a Friday at like five pm. It's
a great day for it by my hoa. Like I
(25:57):
found a way to sue the hoa with a lawyer
that will take the money out of the h way.
Like I live in the North End. The building was
built in eighteen ninety and the joints in the basement
are causing everything to bow, and the stairs are bowing.
So the neighbors they voted against me to fix it,
but they went as far as to get my dog
taken away because the way I act around the neighborhood
(26:18):
and everything to Now, I went to a legal convention
and I think I got like a six figure one
going here. You know what I'm saying, like like this
would just be just good enough for me to get
to Christmas. You know what I'm saying, like, yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Yeah, you know, you remind me of there was that story.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
There's this guy in South Carolina a couple of years back,
pri many years, and he was in jail and he
just spent the whole time, suing everybody while he was
in jail.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
He just like filed lawsuits against people to make money.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
You can only do so many though, Like so if
you can only have one going at a time, and
you can't sue like multiple people in one year like that.
Like I don't want to talk politics on the show,
but there was a ruin by the Supreme Court today,
and I was actually part of that class action lawsuit.
But that wasn't like it wasn't like I was going
to get paid for it. I would just plaint to
(27:02):
it because the Federal Courthouse is right next to my apartment,
and I, you know, I just got involved. I like,
I like to put my name out there because it
makes me look more reputable. I don't. So here's the thing,
Like I was never gonna marry like a beautiful women
and driver around him by Mercedes today and and everything.
People were always going to actively try to take me down.
You know what I'm saying. It's the conspiracy against the
(27:23):
tall blind guy from Boston because he overthrew the mafia
in the North End and he runs the North End.
Now you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
So you actually you took down a lot of people
know it's Whitey Bulger. You were responsible for Whitey Bulger.
Speaker 4 (27:36):
Yeah, so that's play out on this show. I didn't
have anything involved with it, but there was the family
living next door that was involved. I didn't know. I
don't know them at all. I just dropped their idea
on the ground once and my mom picked it up
and we figured out what was going on, you know
what I'm saying. But actually I've gone out of my
way where the guy he lives in Colorado now in
the underground prison, and we've gone as far and they
(27:57):
wouldn't let me take photos of the letter. I wanted
to show it to Ben. We got him a satellite
radio so we might even be listening right now. Those
are guys from Springfield, the Greeks, you know what I'm saying.
They're underground and I think it's Montrose. They call that
ad X.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
In Colorado, you know, so, oh yeah, that's the that's
the big one.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
That's where like the biggest, baddest a holes go right there.
That's where they hang out.
Speaker 4 (28:18):
That's where they the people that can't get along with
other people like Ted Kazitski.
Speaker 5 (28:22):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (28:23):
They got the marathon bombing. There the sad part about
the marathon bombers. I went to college with the older
one that the police killed in Watertown. He was like
a pretty good dude when I went to college and
used to buy marijuana off him and everything. And then
he went to like Chechnia, and it was just so bizarre.
When he came back, he was wearing all these weird
like bath robes and everything. I never got to talk
(28:44):
about this, but it's been so long now everybody knows.
I went to Suffolk University. He went there with me.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
I went the scott what do you what? What kind
of substances are you using? You are all over the place,
you are bouncing around. You were amazing. What is going
on with you?
Speaker 4 (28:58):
So I went to I was like, I was kind
of in a bad place. But I went to bed
at like two pm yesterday and I slept for like
eleven hours. Woke up around one and I drank two coffees.
I've had two celsiuses. I've had you know, a bunch
of different weed here. You know what I'm saying, Like
I have marijuansta.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Look at that, and I thought you had no money
to afford all that stuff. But you were able to
Good for you, you're able to do it. And is
that on your Snap benefits?
Speaker 4 (29:24):
No, no, no, I get twenty four dollars a month
in SNAP. I get two and eighty eight dollars in SSDI.
But I live in a place where my bills so
I have fifteen thousand dollars in credit card debt, so
that's like four hundred a month.
Speaker 2 (29:38):

that coach or you know, higher up because it's about winning.

Jokes of the week coming up a little bit later
in the overnight, so we look forward to that.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
In the meantime, we.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Pause the NFL conversation for some hot spall talk. What So,
it was the start of free agency. Did you see
all of the big signings in free agency?
Speaker 2 (03:08):
No, okay, because there weren't any.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Very modest beginning, very modest beginning to baseball free agency.
But we do have a baseball story. While the Broncos
had issues with the Raiders, even though the Broncos ended
up winning the game, the major league baseball team in
town said, hold our beer, and we learned that the
Rockies have agreed, although the contract hasn't been signed, they've
(03:34):
agreed to hire Paul deep Podesta. Yep, that's the same guy,
Paul D. Podesta, who has been the chief strategy officer
of the Cleveland Browns. Now, you might not remember. The
Rockies and Browns have a great rivalry. It's a really
(03:54):
hard hitting rivalry. So deep Pedesta's apparently, if I read
this properly, going to be the face of the Rockies
baseball ops department.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Congratulations.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
That is the same Paul de Podesta, who has not
been involved in Major League Baseball in over a decade.
That is the same Paul de Podesta who was last
a general manager twenty years ago. He lasted less than
two years and was mollywopped by the Dodgers. That is
(04:26):
the same Paul de Podesta who was depicted by the
formerly rotund Jonah Hill as an analytical guru in the
movie Moneyball, but refused to let his name be.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Used in the movie. So yeah, he's you know, he's
a nut job? Are you You?
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Wait a minute, So somebody wants to make a movie
about you, but you won't allow them to use your name.
What kind of douche movie is that? Somebody wants to
make a movie about me? Of course you gotta pay me,
but you can use my name. So this is all
a good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question
can you wrap your rain around a professional baseball team.
Not a good one, the Colorado Rockies hiring Paul deep
(05:07):
Podesta away from an NFL franchise to the Cleveland Brown
So on this one, I've got hookah bar, misdoubtfire, and
gypsy Kings, and we will connect all of these things
together and we'll go green light, go, green light go now.
(05:28):
First of all, so let me tell you the bast
So when I saw this, it's jaw dropping.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
It's absolutely jaw dropping.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Paul de Podesta was incompetent when he was the Dodgers
general manager twenty years ago. I can't imagine he's improved
much since then. He hasn't touched a baseball roster. The
last time he was the GM, people were using flip phones. Okay,
do you understand Twitter had not been born yet, like
social media was. I mean, people were still using Aol
(05:59):
online and all that. So it was a different world
the last time he was a GM. And so what
happened here, It's like, did some guy in ownership for
the Rockies just like throw a dart.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
At the organizational chart and said, all right, let's hire
this guy.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Say hey, find me the guy that Jonah Hill played well,
he's with an NFL team. I want that guy to
run my baseball team. Really, God bless those dysfunctional Colorado Rockies.
And they're really making here a spin off of Moneyball.
They're changing the name a little bit, and the new
name is it's a spinoff. It's called Funnyball. Funny Ball.
(06:38):
You really can't make this up. It's crossing movies. It's
not only Moneyball, it's also the iconic movie Major League.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
It's Taboo. Now it's about a team called the Cleveland Indians.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
They're now named after a bridge. So I imagine the
owner of the Rockies called up Paul d.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Podesta.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
I did the the ring ring, you know, I didn't
text him, call him up and said, hey, hey, yeah
this is a this is so and so Joe Blow
I owned the Rockies here, Yeah, how would you like
to be the GM of the Rockies this upcoming year?
Speaker 2 (07:11):
And then and then Paul de Podesta responds, he said,
I don't know, I don't know if I want to
do that.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
And then the Rockies owner comes back on the phone,
and the Rockies owners like, well, what do you mean
you don't know? This is your chance to be a
GM again. In Major League Baseball, in the big leagues.
And then and then Paul de Podesta comes back and
he says.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Well, let me get back to you.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Well, yeah, mister owner guy, I got a guy on
the other line there that's asking about some white walls.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
One of the all time great scenes. Uh.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Anyway, the Rockies clearly went to a hookah bar, not
with Luca. It went on a hookah Luca bar, but
went they went to a hookah bar to smoke the
wacky Tobacci in thin air there. Now, a buddy of
mine had sent me a message.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
I actually had a couple of messages.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Because I wake up, I sleep, the world happens because
part of doing the open so I don't sleep much,
but it seems like a lot of stuff happens when
I sleep.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
So I get up. It's very free wheeling with the
people sending me stuff there.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Do you see this? Well, no, I was sleeping, but
you should. You should react to that. I'm sleeping. So
so I'm getting messages about Paul de Podesta going to Colorado,
and I wrote back, I said that the first person
that semi that said that's pretty funny.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
It's April Fools is We're in November. It's not April fool,
so you didn't get me.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
I was around the Dodgers back before I was exiled
when they signed Otani, and that was in the good
graces with the Dodgers. I was around the team when
they had Paul de Podesta's the GM. He was fired
as the Dodger GM A generation to go.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
He was so bad? How bad was he? He was
so bad? Paul de Podesta.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Okay, there was a fan revolt, there was an uprising,
and you look at the Dodgers now there the model franchise.
Everyone wants to be like the Dodgers back then, though
those years were no as the heat Soop Troy era
of Dodger baseball seems like a lifetime ago considering how
dominant the Dodgers have been, how much money they've thrown around.
(09:11):
Deep Adesta was so bad with the players he acquired
that the fans revolted. And he's been off doing football
accounting for the Brownies, a team while he's been there,
fifty six wins, ninety nine losses in one tie. Now
that is a resume that gets you promoted. And the
(09:34):
Rockies they have allergies. One of their allergies is they're
allergic to competence. And they look at the one team
in the NFL that over all of the people talk
about the Jets being bad, and we'll talk, I'm sure
more about the Jets, Lebrun.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
They talk about the Jets being bad and this team
being bad.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
The Cleveland Browns, though their persona is the factory of sadness?
Does it get any better than that? And so there
we are. Let's hire the Browns analytical guy who's such
a weirdo he wouldn't let the Hollywood people use his
name yet again, though, has anyone in management in professional
(10:15):
sports been as fortunate born with a golden lucky horseshoe
up his tukis like Paul deep Potesta, you talk about
falling upwards, classic case. Now people sometimes failed their way
up the corporate ladder, and the key to life in
that world is to have someone say you're going to
(10:35):
be great.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
You don't actually have to be great.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
You don't have to actually be great, You just have
to have enough people believe that you should be great.
That athletic team that they wrote Moneyball about was twenty two,
twenty three years ago, and Paul Deepatesta is still getting
work off that job. And oh, by the way, Billy
(10:58):
Bean was the face of it, not Paul de Podesta.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
All right.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Secondly, does Sanday I go, we go show me your
lightning bolt?
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Well, not anyone.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
So former Major League Baseball reliever Craig Stamen has been hired.
The former reliever who was involved in the interviewing process.
So this guy was in management for the Podres. Craig
Stamon was interviewing managerial candidates in San Diego and he
hired himself for the position to replace Mike Schildt, who
(11:34):
quit as the Podres manager. So the question, my chances
are you don't know who this guy is as far
as his playing career, he was a bullpen spam guy.
But Craig Stamen hired himself to manage the Podres.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
How does that sound to you? All right, So I'm
gonna go first. It sounds to me like Jeopardy, is
what it sounds like.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
You remember a couple of years back when they had
this guy named Mike Richards who was the producer of Jeopardy,
and he was deputized to find the replacement when Alex
Trebek died, and so they played this game who should
be the host of Jeopardy?
Speaker 2 (12:15):
And he brought all these people in to interview for
the new auditions and all that stuff, and Ken Jennings
was part of that, and the guy from the Reading Rainbow,
and they brought all these guys in and then he
picked himself. So it's the same thing here.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
This guy's stamen basically looked around the room at all
the candidates and said, eh, you know what, I'm the
top candidate.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
And the ownership in San Diego signed.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Off on it, just like the Rockies dysfunction junction, what's
your function? The Padres have gone through more managers then
Fernando Tatisse has gone through hairstyles, but Black Andy Green,
someone named Jace Tinler, Bob Melvin, Mike Schilt.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
All of that, and now they've added another one in
this former picture.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Six full time managers, same GM, Six full time managers,
same GM. It is a revolving door with a sign
that says abandoned all stability. Ye who enter. It's a
pirate's life for me. And when you manage the Padres,
(13:24):
it is proof you don't need any in all these
big league jobs. Is say you do not need a
resume of work. You don't need to cut your teeth
in the minor leagues and learn how to manage in
the big leagues.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
No, no, no, it's all done for you, which is kind
of cool. Like you could manage, I could manage. Any
of us could manage. It's just a.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Popularity contest getting the job. It's all in the binder,
it's all in the tablet. It's all that The Podre Manager.
This is a dated reference, but it's a classic movie.
The Padres Manager is going to be missus doubtfire right,
Miss Dauphire, a rock up in Williams classic The Great
Late comedian Housekeeper Vibes.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Now what do I mean by that? When you manage
the padres, you.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Are deputized to babysit two long term divas. It's the
diva diva ball Manny Machado, who's locked up through twenty
thirty three. Twenty thirty three, Machado is locked up. Then
you've got Fernando Tatis who likes the peds. He's locked
(14:30):
up through twenty thirty four. So it's kind of like
living inside.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
A Drake song. It's all about the stars, wants and needs.
When you manage the Padres.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
And that was one of the problems that Mike Schilt
add he was tied of the bull crap with Machado
and Tatis.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
And so that's it.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
So Staman better get used to managing oversized egos.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
That are going to be there way after you're done
managing the padres.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
Not about changes, it's not about batting average, it's not
about any of that.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
It's about making.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Those guys happy because the clubhouse is not exactly going well. Right,
It's like a it's not a chemistry lab. It's a
reality show. What's going on in San Diego? And aj
Preler is the GM and good luck, good luck? All
right now, quick right, we go to Toronto where the
(15:26):
Blue Jays are still licking their wounds after losing.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
They were right there in the upright position, ready to
win until they weren't. Well. Some changes in Toronto.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
We learned that Donnie Baseball Don Mattingly is out as
the blue Jay bench coach.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
The story is he's leaving the job.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Question why is Donnie Baseball leaving Toronto's coaching staff after.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Winning the American League Pennant?
Speaker 1 (15:55):
All right, now, let me before I get to why,
let me address the snuffles in the room, so we
ask a question, is this actual the coach leaving or
is this something else? So on this one, I believe
Don Mattingly did legitimately want out for whatever reason. Maybe
he was just tired of dealing with crossing the border
(16:18):
and stuff, and it seems pretty smooth to me. But
some of these guys complain about going through customs and
all that stuff, so it's possible that's the case.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
However, I think there's something more in place, something more
nefarious in play.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
When you talk about Don Maddie, Mattingly does enjoy the
nomadic lifestyle. He's got the Gypsy Kings vibes playing in
his AirPods. He's Baseball's gypsy. He's a carpet bagger, and
when you're a carpet bagger, you have to follow the
carpet bagger creed, which is weird because he only played
with the Yankees as a coach or a manager. Mattingly
(16:53):
has been bouncing back and forth like he's in a
pinball machine. So your role in the town, when you're
a carpet bagger, you follow the creed. You roll in
the town, you put on the uniform, you smile, you
take some photos, you collect the per diem, you roll
out before the parking validation expires, and you move on
to your next hustle. You gotta do the hustle and
(17:14):
onto the next spot out in the boondocks somewhere. The
doing something different line that is always a tell when
I hear I just felt like.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Doing something different. That is a deck Do you what?
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Deck?
Speaker 3 (17:29):
Do what?
Speaker 2 (17:30):
It is?
Speaker 1 (17:32):
It's baseball speak for I'm not telling you the truth,
and I'm certainly not telling you where I'm going.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
But I have a rabbit up my sleeve, I doubt
so where would that be? Now?
Speaker 1 (17:47):
The smart money is that don Mattingly has a side
deal with the Philadelphia Phillies, that Donnie Baseball is going
to end up with Jonathan in Delaware and Fried Daddy
and Fats in Philadelphia and all those guys in Philly.
Now why do I say that, Well, Donnie Baseball, this
(18:08):
is a hire a friend situation. Rob Thompson would be
the conciliary, right, the conciliary there in Philadelphia, and Mattingly
would be that for Thompson.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Now, as I recall, Rob Thompson spent a.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Long time in the Bronx before he became the Philadelphia
Phillies manager there so he can have a little.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Brox Bombers reunion on Broad Street.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
And the Phillies are going to change their roster over
a lot, so you throw Mattingly in there with a buddy,
hire a friend, Rob Thompson the manager in Philadelphia, and
then Mattingly becomes the conciliary and all that stuff. But
Maddingly a bit of a wise guy, like one of
those dudes who's always in the mix. He's never out
of the conversation, and he can have a job in
(18:56):
baseball the rest of his life, lifetime employment for on
Maddingly at this point, he's like traveling around like a
lollipop salesman.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
You know.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
When he did some radio stuff locally in Boston, one
of the other talk shows at night sold lollipops. He
was a lollipop salesman, and he told me, I don't
have time to get into it here, but he told me,
like how competitive the lollipop market is. And you don't
even realize it, but he traveled all over the place
selling lollipops.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
It's like that's kind of a weird job.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
But you had to meet with target and Walmart, and
it's all about the product placement.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
As he told me.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
He said, Ben, you know, no one ever goes to
a store to buy a lollipop, but we sell a
lot of them. And I said, well, how do you
sell them? He say, it's all about that impulse purchase
the thing you don't need all that crap when you
check out, and just put them right there. And if
you put on the right spot at eye level, people
will buy lollipops. They didn't go in thinking about lollipops,
(19:58):
but they'll buy them. It is the Ben Mahllor Show.

Let's see, does anyone know the answer? We go now

he's going to be the ambassador he said of some
island chain. Jess En Junction says the official NFL licensed
bail bondsman, a male prostitute guests by K Curtsey Flusher,

sperm donor from Eloy from Compton. I think he's already
been doing that. A marriage counselor from Rob the goat
man Alf the alien o Pinter says his side hustle

big one, all right.

Page down Gunner says the answer will be the new
head coach at Penn State he's leaving the Dolphins for
Penn State. Mike the Leprechaun in Boston says, a new
career selling lollipops.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
That's big money in Lolly's. There is big money in Lolly's.

Speaker 2 (25:23):
Uh oh what? Whoa? Yeah? So there is that. Good
luck to tyreek Hill.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Let's get to the phones. We'll say hello to Blind Scott,
who's on the north end of Boston. Hello, Blind Scott, welcome?
Speaker 4 (25:35):
Oh hey, yeah. I was lost by the bacon in
the grocery store today and one of the intercot shoppers
noticed that I was in like a different area than
I usually came over to help me, and I really
was lost. It's easy to get lost in a store
you go to every day if you're blind. Dude. I
got a bunch of seats and assist letters I'm sending
out today on a Friday at like five pm. It's
a great day for it by my hoa. Like I
(25:57):
found a way to sue the hoa with a lawyer
that will take the money out of the h way.
Like I live in the North End. The building was
built in eighteen ninety and the joints in the basement
are causing everything to bow, and the stairs are bowing.
So the neighbors they voted against me to fix it,
but they went as far as to get my dog
taken away because the way I act around the neighborhood
(26:18):
and everything to Now, I went to a legal convention
and I think I got like a six figure one
going here. You know what I'm saying, like like this
would just be just good enough for me to get
to Christmas. You know what I'm saying, like, yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Yeah, you know, you remind me of there was that story.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
There's this guy in South Carolina a couple of years back,
pri many years, and he was in jail and he
just spent the whole time, suing everybody while he was
in jail.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
He just like filed lawsuits against people to make money.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
You can only do so many though, Like so if
you can only have one going at a time, and
you can't sue like multiple people in one year like that.
Like I don't want to talk politics on the show,
but there was a ruin by the Supreme Court today,
and I was actually part of that class action lawsuit.
But that wasn't like it wasn't like I was going
to get paid for it. I would just plaint to
(27:02):
it because the Federal Courthouse is right next to my apartment,
and I, you know, I just got involved. I like,
I like to put my name out there because it
makes me look more reputable. I don't. So here's the thing,
Like I was never gonna marry like a beautiful women
and driver around him by Mercedes today and and everything.
People were always going to actively try to take me down.
You know what I'm saying. It's the conspiracy against the
(27:23):
tall blind guy from Boston because he overthrew the mafia
in the North End and he runs the North End.
Now you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
So you actually you took down a lot of people
know it's Whitey Bulger. You were responsible for Whitey Bulger.
Speaker 4 (27:36):
Yeah, so that's play out on this show. I didn't
have anything involved with it, but there was the family
living next door that was involved. I didn't know. I
don't know them at all. I just dropped their idea
on the ground once and my mom picked it up
and we figured out what was going on, you know
what I'm saying. But actually I've gone out of my
way where the guy he lives in Colorado now in
the underground prison, and we've gone as far and they
(27:57):
wouldn't let me take photos of the letter. I wanted
to show it to Ben. We got him a satellite
radio so we might even be listening right now. Those
are guys from Springfield, the Greeks, you know what I'm saying.
They're underground and I think it's Montrose. They call that
ad X.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
In Colorado, you know, so, oh yeah, that's the that's
the big one.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
That's where like the biggest, baddest a holes go right there.
That's where they hang out.
Speaker 4 (28:18):
That's where they the people that can't get along with
other people like Ted Kazitski.
Speaker 5 (28:22):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (28:23):
They got the marathon bombing. There the sad part about
the marathon bombers. I went to college with the older
one that the police killed in Watertown. He was like
a pretty good dude when I went to college and
used to buy marijuana off him and everything. And then
he went to like Chechnia, and it was just so bizarre.
When he came back, he was wearing all these weird
like bath robes and everything. I never got to talk
(28:44):
about this, but it's been so long now everybody knows.
I went to Suffolk University. He went there with me.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
I went the scott what do you what? What kind
of substances are you using? You are all over the place,
you are bouncing around. You were amazing. What is going
on with you?
Speaker 4 (28:58):
So I went to I was like, I was kind
of in a bad place. But I went to bed
at like two pm yesterday and I slept for like
eleven hours. Woke up around one and I drank two coffees.
I've had two celsiuses. I've had you know, a bunch
of different weed here. You know what I'm saying, Like
I have marijuansta.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Look at that, and I thought you had no money
to afford all that stuff. But you were able to
Good for you, you're able to do it. And is
that on your Snap benefits?
Speaker 4 (29:24):
No, no, no, I get twenty four dollars a month
in SNAP. I get two and eighty eight dollars in SSDI.
But I live in a place where my bills so
I have fifteen thousand dollars in credit card debt, so
that's like four hundred a month.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
I can't, I can't process. I gotta go. I can't process.
Thank you. I don't want to deal with your finances.
Let's go now to hollering James.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
We go from someone bouncing off the walls to someone
who's probably sleeping, hollering James in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Yeah, man, Hello, did you just wake up?
Speaker 5 (30:00):
That? What? What? What?
Speaker 2 (30:08):
I think he's still sleeping. I think no.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
I don't think you're awake. I think you're half asleep.
I think you're like a fish.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
Okay, I thank you. I'm gonna put you back on hold. Jam,
I hang up.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
I'll put you back on a wake up a little bit.
I'll go back to Dick and Dayton. Hello, the Dixter,
the pride of Ohio, the Great Dick and Dayton.
Speaker 5 (30:33):
Good morning, guys.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
How are you If I was any better, I would
be a Brown, but not a Cleveland Brown. Although they
are favored. I think this week against the Jets, they
are favored, you know.
Speaker 5 (30:48):
Then and Crew, I don't understand why they cheap that
that coach or you know, higher up because it's about winning.
It just you know what I call up there. Everybody
is just down in the dumps. They need to make
the change quick then, because it's just pathetic the way
(31:11):
they play.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
It, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (31:13):
It's depressing, right, You're like, I'm depressed here. I want
to watch good football and I got to watch this slock.
Are you upset that Paul de Podesta, who is with
the Browns is now going to the Colorado Rockies? Are
you upset by that?
Speaker 5 (31:26):
I don't know much about him all right now? Is
everybody wants Stefano? Yeah, they're running down It's terrible.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
Okay, And again, do you would you like they're always listening?
Would you like to recommend anyone? I know Stefanski gave
