Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our Dumber three original Recipe podcast.
As I step in to the batter's box, can anyone
stop the runaway train of Paul Skenes and his magic
carpet ride in Pittsburgh? We'll examine as he chases rainbows? Also,
major League Baseball's home run derby drew the lowest audience
(00:23):
in a decade is twenty fourteen? Why so lackluster? And
talking about baseball, the White Sox are miserable failures this
year and considering their current timeline, word is that starter
Garrett Crochet and outfielder Luis Robert have a decent chance
to be dealt. What does that mean for the Chicago fan,
(00:46):
the long suffering Chicago American League fan. We'll talk about
that and a whole lot more right now as we
are just warming up the old engine in our number three,
the feeni phenoms in baseball? Is there any stopping him? Well,
gom In the beginning of another hour of the Ben
(01:11):
Malors Show, we are in the air everywhere as key
collaborators keeping the pot boiling all night, coast to coast, border,
the border and beyond. On the mast and elegantly powerful
microphones of fs are embating live from the Bait as
(01:31):
we toss clickbait into the mighty audio ocean. We are
broadcasting live from the Tyraq dot Com studios. Tyract dot

It's been about ten thousand days, says JJ from Renton, Washington,
(01:51):
called the show tyre ract dot Com the Way Tire
Buying Show b and our lead this hour, I do
want to let all the affiliates down line, though. We
will have asked Ben coming up later this hour, so
if you'd like to have your question read, use the
hashtag ask Ben on X and we may use it
on the air. We'll also have the Malord Riddle of
the Day coming up a little bit later this hour.
(02:13):
But our lead from baseball and the All Star break
is going on right now. The All Star Game is
in the rear view mirror, you like. They know that
Major League Baseball is on sabbatical because the players can
plain a couple of years ago and the owners gave
them the full week off, so there is no baseball
to break down, not that we normally break down regular
season games Anyway, the games will resume this weekend, players
(02:35):
taking random holiday trips. Now many are still doing the
post mortem on the various performances, the things that happen
at the All Star Game involving the new phenom as
baseball marketing. Major League Baseball Marketing spending a lot of
time promoting the phenom. I assume you were watching, you
(02:56):
were following along, you heard about this. Perhaps not the
NL All Stars they lost the game, but the starter
of the All Star Game, the Pirates, rookie starter Paul Skeins,
was throwing bbs. He was throwing darts up there. The
Buccos are currently in a rush hour gridlock situation to
make the playoffs. They are a five hundred team at
(03:19):
the All Star break. They've won as many games as
they have lost. That's where they are. They are sitting
a game and a half back out of the playoffs,
the three wildcard spots in the National League. Now they
are part of a group, a dog pile of nine
teams that are fighting to make three playoff spots, all
within three and a half games a paydirt, So there's
(03:41):
a bit of a bottleneck to get in the playoffs. Now,
the Atlanta Braves have a pretty sizable lead for that
first wildcard, so you're really talking about the second and
third wild card that are in play. And much of
the conversation, though, has been about whether or not the
ace in the deck of cards for the Pio Paul
Skins is that guy? Is he that guy? You're that guy? Pal,
(04:04):
It's not that you're not that guy. You're that guy.
Is he so good that he can carry the woebegone
Bucos into the playoffs? So let us discuss the question
can anyone stop Paul Skein's magic carpet ride in Pittsburgh?
So I've got pseudo science, elephant and M four Sherman,
(04:29):
and we will combine all of these things together and
we will be right at your fingertips right now, or
in this case, your ear drums. So to answer first
of all, to answer the question is the short answers yes.
I've been told by Lorena that that is not good enough,
that I must go longer than just saying yes, Can
(04:49):
anyone stop Paul Skin's magic cover? Right? The answers yes?
So I will expand on my my answer. The same
bugaboo that derails almost every sing ingle young phenom pitcher
in baseball is currently knocking at the door. And what
is it you ask? That would be the dreaded I
(05:11):
call it the chopper, the helicopter parents with the Pittsburgh
Pirates who masquerade as pitching coaches, managers, front office nerds,
the babying of Paul Skins, the people in charge, the
people that sign the checks. There behind the rules of BA.
(05:35):
They've indoctrinated every single team in basement. There's not one
team that doesn't do this. They all love the same dogma.
It's pitch counts, inning limits, fatigue prevention, whatever that is, recommendations.
All of that is the holy grail injury prevention. They
(05:58):
are convinced that they have figured out the cheat code
to the matrix. Spoiler alert, spoiler alert. While they are
well intentioned, they are idiots. It doesn't work. It's pseudo science,
is what it is. All of it, the pitch counts,
the inning limits, the fatigue said, well, what do you know,
(06:23):
you're just the overnight guy. I've actually talked to the
people that played the game back in the day when
they didn't have pitch counts, when they didn't have inning limits,
fatigue prevention, injury prevention, and every one of them, I've
yet to talk to anyone you played that here. I
had Tommy John on my podcast. I've talked to over
the years, Nolan Ryan, the late Mike Marshall, the pitcher
(06:45):
for the Dodgers, who was a relief pitcher period in
over one hundred games when a cy young, all of them,
all of these people, they say, you throw more, not less.
You don't have these limits. It's ridiculous. And the other
evidence forget Maybe you say, well, those are just boomers.
Some of those guys are dead. Who cares. Okay, you
(07:06):
hate old people. I get it. You know you're one
of those people. But my evidence example B, if you will,
I'll call example D the Doyers, the Dodgers. This is
I don't need to tell you anything other than the Dodgers.
Every hot shock, young pitcher, every can't miss phenom has
(07:27):
come to the Dodgers has been spoon fed Gerber baby food,
starting when they're in the minor leagues, right strict guidelines,
they track pressure, pitches, injury prevention, they do all of it,
pitch counts, inning limits, everywhere, and yet they all end
up in the injury ten all of it. So my
(07:49):
advice to the Pirates with Paul Skins, and I know
they're not gonna do this, but I'll give it out anyway.
The Pirates oughta go old school. My goals, release the Kraken,
but out the Seattle Crack. Release the Kraken. Let Paul
Skens cook. He's gonna get hurt anyway. But I foreshadow
in my crystal ball as a distant relative of Noster
(08:10):
Damis and friend of Noster Denis, he lives in Seattle.
The Pirates will be right there on the doorstep of
making the Plus, they're not gonna make any trades. Why
would they, They are cheap franchise. But they'll be in
position to make the playoffs. And then they'll be like
Paul Skeins, he's got too many innings and he's thrown
too many pitches, and we're gonna limit him. Maybe we'll
put him in the bullpen and turn out the last.
(08:32):
The parties over right now. Second, staying with the afterglow
of the All Star festivities of Major League Baseball, the
Crown Jewel the Home Run Derby the Midsummer Spectacle had
just five point four million viewers for the event that
was from eight twenty to midnight Eastern time. That is
(08:56):
an event won by ti Oscar Hernandez of the Doyers.
But the viewership the lowest in a decade, the lowest
since then. Oakland outfielder Johanna Cesspidis won his second Derby
over a decade ago. And the reason that was low
in ratings is because there was an hour rain delay,
(09:17):
if I remember correctly. So the Major League Baseball Home
Run Derby, this signature event of this week for baseball,
attracted the lowest audience since twenty fourteen. Why was it
so lack luster? Why were people not engaged? So I'm
gonna tell you what baseball is claiming is the problem.
(09:39):
I not what I think is the problem. What Baseball
is saying the problem is is the elephant. They're blaming
the elephant or go The Home Run Derby went head
to head with the Republican National Convention and lost. They're like, well,
it hadn't been for the Republican Convention, the GOP get together,
(10:00):
then this would have taken place. The ratings would have
been great, and it would have been wonderful. The Derby
was down eleven percent year to year. That is when
Toronto's Vladdie Guerrero Junior won the event. Now here's what
I think the problem is. My belief is the problem
is the biggest stars in baseball are scaredy catch, they're cowards.
(10:21):
They don't want to be part of the home run derby.
I'm talking about shohe O Tani, Aaron Judge, and Bryce Harper.
Those are the three big guns right there, because they
all have fear of embarrassment. Then we'll get up there
and pull a Mike Piazza. Piazza was big starback in
the nineties. He did the home run Derby and didn't
hit one home run and people goofed on him. And
I will also go back to more of the pseudo
(10:43):
science that we just talked about earlier in this monologue,
that it's fatigued prevention, and that even though there is
evidence to indicate that it does not affect performance in
the second half, yet the players it's like the Tinkerbell effect.
Enough people believe believe that by being in the home
run derby, you're going to stink in the second half.
(11:04):
It's sauce, it's weak sauce, but people follow it. It's
maddening and the same thing's happened. In basketball. The three
point contest is much more enjoyable than the dunk contest,
which is unwatchable, all right, typically unwatchable. There are guys
(11:24):
that you've never heard of, who even their family doesn't
know is in the dunk contest, that is in the
dunk contest, all right. Now, final thought. We go to Chicago,
where the food is good, the baseball not so much.
The White Sox they suck. And I was reading a
story this week about the current timeline of the franchise.
(11:45):
The word is that starter Garrett Crochet and outfielder Luis
Robert have a decent chance to be dealt. So what
does that mean for the Chicago fan, the long suffering
White Sox fan, the big one, the pitcher here, Garrett,
Garrett Crochet. So what does it mean? So it means
(12:05):
that the ownership of the White Sox is looking to
take the tin can and they want to punt it
through the end zone, down the road, through the end zone.
They are driving around a classic m for Sherman and
they're not afraid to admit it. They are in full
on tank any tank mode. Now, this guy, Garrett Crochet,
(12:29):
who I had never heard of before this season, and
he's been around for a few years. He has come
out of nowhere and he's got amazing numbers as a
left hander. The White Sox want to deal him for
two reasons, right. Number one is he's pitching too well, right,
(12:50):
he's too good, and they're really worried about the footwear,
which leads into number two or go that eventually he's
gonna wake up, get out of bed and realize, wait
a minute, what I'm pitching like Mark Burley or black
Jack McDowell and I'm Garrett Crochet. What is going on here?
And so they're worried that Cinderella's glass slipper is going
(13:12):
to turn back into a crappy shoe at midnight, and
they want to trade him before that happens and get
something perceived of value for him. But it's also a
sign that they just really don't want to win anything
at all. They don't even try to put a competitive
team on the field, and they're just hanging on trying
to get a bunch of draft pick hires raft picks.
And it sucks. I hate it, I hate it, I
(13:34):
hate it. All right, is the Ben Mahler Show. If

Speaker 5 (19:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (19:25):
I know, I'm headed down in New York for the day.

in Vegas for August third, but unfortunately a job canceled.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
That would have been awesome it's not right, man. There's
gotta be somebody else that needs you to drive. Somebody
in New England has to use you to drive to
the Nevada.
Speaker 7 (19:50):
Come on, I mean maybe the le That guy's a clown.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Huh yeah, what's up with that guy? Where'd that guy
come from?
Speaker 7 (19:57):

Speaker 1 (19:58):
There's a way that's that guy.
Speaker 7 (20:00):
I can investigate that.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Oh, you should investigate that because I'm skeptical.
Speaker 6 (20:04):
I'm not.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
I don't think we've been getting punked.
Speaker 6 (20:08):
Framing.
Speaker 7 (20:08):
Framingham is not that far from me, so I can investigate.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Okay, you got boots. We got boots on the ground,
Eddy boots on the ground. Moving Man Matt is willing
to go there, and he might even drive the truck
that he is. The truck out of the shop, the
rig is it out of the shop.
Speaker 7 (20:25):
It's hat and out. And that's a tough year for it.
But uh, it's very tough year. Last year was a
great year for the truck. So it's all cyclical.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
Well, for those who don't know. For those who don't know,
Moving Man Matt a self made man. He drives a
big rig moving truck. For years you went across the country.
Although lately, you've been mostly just in the northeast, right,
you haven't really gone too far. I haven't been.
Speaker 7 (20:49):
I haven't really been out of town all summer. It's
been really nice to be around the kids.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
All right. So he's hanging out with the kids. He's
worried about the kids and all. That was great. But
he has a truck with our name on it and
it's been here to the mother Ship and we we've
got photos with it. He's got the Ben Malor show
on the side of the truck and so, uh, I
mean that's above and beyond the call of duty. Moving man, Matt, Well,
we hoped, we hope you get that.
Speaker 7 (21:11):
Yeah, I could be stepping it up this year.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
Ben.
Speaker 7 (21:13):
Towards the end of the year, I'm in negotiations to
make an acquisition.
Speaker 6 (21:19):
We may have the Mallard warehouse, the Malord.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
See, I need my many trips to New England. I'll
have to stop by and do a photo shoot with
the warehouse. I'll have to do that. Very important.
Speaker 7 (21:31):
It's it's we're about. We're getting there on negotiations. So uh,
all right, finished, I'll be off the road.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Well that's not good for us, but at least He'll
be the malor warehouse. So I'll be happy about that.
And I can I can go. That could be the
Holy land there in somewhere in the greater Boston area.
All right, thank you, Matt, be safe, enjoy New York
hanging up on you. Let's say hell for Lexus, America's
favorite drag queen caller and the original drag queen called
(22:01):
it a sports radio before it was cool. Hello for Alexis.
Speaker 6 (22:05):
Hi Man, Hello America.
Speaker 8 (22:07):
Hey bet, did I ever tell you I went out with it?
Speaker 6 (22:10):
For God? They got a little small one.
Speaker 8 (22:13):
Did you know that?
Speaker 1 (22:14):
I did not know that. I did not. I'm the only.
Speaker 6 (22:18):
Queen on Fact sports radio. But I love that lady
that plays the music.
Speaker 8 (22:22):
You're number one honey with me.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Well, anyway, you don't know, you're not sure who she is,
but you're like, yeah, that lady, that's who she's going.
Speaker 6 (22:30):
I heard that lady. She's like brother.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
Well, some people complain, some don't. I don't know east
their own.
Speaker 6 (22:41):

Speaker 6 (22:57):
But they're doing something.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
But they're well, they're downgrading a little bit, which is fine.
They're downgraded. They got rid of Stefawon Diggs and they
didn't replace him. But that's all right. Stefan Diggs was
a problem last year.
Speaker 8 (23:10):
I understand that. I really didn't understand. But it's pretty good.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
He was up until the last ten games or so
in the regular season, and he disappeared the last two
years in the playoffs. He disappeared. Remember he had a
hissy fit in twenty twenty three's playoffs, and then this
past year in twenty twenty four, he was essentially a
decoy against Kansas City in that playoff game.
Speaker 6 (23:32):
But Ben, you know what's really about It's all about
the money.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Come on and tell the true No, it's all about you.

more money. I don't think did he get a new
contract from the Texas Maybe he did, I don't think
he did.
Speaker 8 (23:46):

coke in the middle of a game.
Speaker 4 (25:14):
Any, well, that's very negative. No, this is this is
he is the youngest first.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
There were a bunch of NFL players in the eighties
and the baseball players that did coke during games?
Speaker 4 (25:23):
Is that right on the field?
Speaker 9 (25:25):
The lines?
Speaker 1 (25:25):

DC legend, Freddy you do?
Speaker 2 (26:12):
I think so.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
I think you're right. I think it was DC.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Yeah, oh yeah. I heard every soccer, every soccer Hardo
told me that Freddy you do? How do you do that?
That's the game? How old is Freddy you do?
Speaker 5 (26:25):
Now?
Speaker 4 (26:26):
Oh god, he got play in his thirties? I would think,
let me.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Check out, Freddy you do? I think he's playing soccer
in Europe. I think, oh boy, we're gonna date ourselves here, ready,
Freddy you do? Is A survey says, according to the Internet,
thirty five years old. Holy crap, now that thirty five? Yeah,
Freddy the next pele? Eddie, he was the next pele. No,
(26:52):
he said he was. They told me he was the
next pele. They told me that Eddie.
Speaker 4 (26:56):
Not saying that about Keevan Sullivan. They're they're, you know,
down playing him, which is probably the better idea.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
I don't. According to the Interweb, he's not currently playing.
He last played in twenty twenty one for a team
in the Swedish Football League. So I guess he's too
old now, he's washed up.
Speaker 4 (27:17):
I guess.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
So that's it. It's all over, turn out the last
the party's over. Oh yeah, I remember we we did shows, Freddy,
you do that? Guy's been twenty twenty years, over twenty
years since he came on the scene in the MLS.
It's the Ben Malor show. As we continue, we're gonna
have to ask Ben. But I wanted to say a lot.
(27:38):
My legal expert is online, and when my legal experts online,
I have to take him right away because he charges
the by the minute bill formally in Venice. But now
he's in Korea Town. He's uptown in Koreatown. Hello, Bill

Anyway, it all worked well, you know, and then uh
and then uh you know, hey, I'm like, hey, Freddy,
what happened to your soccer career. He's like yeah, He's like,
hurry up.
Speaker 1 (29:05):

form here Bill. I mean, this is amazing this phone call.
Unbelievable work by you. You know, how lucky, How lucky
am I to have you as a caller. My god,
I've won the lottery here, right.
Speaker 5 (29:20):
You meet a lot of people there. Man, it's a
it's a it's a boulevard Broken Dreams. The Boulevard Broken Dreams.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
I thought that was actually I thought, now you're talking
about Wilshir. I thought, uh, what was it? What's the
street with all the prostitutes? But I'm forgetting the name
of it? There in l A No, not Sunset uh
rights Figaro right there, that's.
Speaker 5 (29:47):
Yeah, it's as cross street either way. Don't go to uh,

Speaker 9 (29:59):
Well?

Speaker 1 (30:22):
That's that point people, They throw bodies in that while
it's like the old West over there. All right, I
gotta go, thank you, appreciate that. Glad we took that
phone call. In my opinion, that suck. Okay, the mind
of Bill formally in Venice, He's always gonna be Bill

because humans love brown numbers. So I don't really get
all worked up. But by my birthday, Eddiewa, Yeah, it

Puffin would like to know.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
Oh, it's a big art Puffin's chiman.
Speaker 9 (33:33):
Have you ever met somebody that you were starstruck by
and who was it?
Speaker 1 (33:38):
No, not as an adult. When I was a kid, yeah,
there were people I was like, Wow, that's pretty pretty crazy,
pretty wild that I'm in the same same room. I remember,
I've told the short before in the podcast. When I
was a kid, there was a famous comedian. I had
no idea who this guy was, but my mom thought
this guy was a huge deal. And I happened to
be at a bar mitzvah and he was there a
(34:00):
different event and it was this guy named Don Rickles
who was a famous comedian when I was a kid,
and so I did a movie with him, didn't you did? Yeah,
I went up to him. He was a jerk to me,
but uh, but that was a stick I guess. But no,
as an adult. No. When I started I started in
radio as a young guy, I interviewing with like Michael Jordan.
When I first started, it was like a huge deal,
(34:23):
but lately not so much. What about you, Eddie.
Speaker 4 (34:27):
I mean, I've been around a lot of famous athletes
and for the most part, I'm not starstruck. I'm like, oh,
that's pretty cool, but I don't. One guy I did
kind of was like wow, and that was Bill Russell,
and I just was like, damn, that guy. What a legend,
you know what I mean. I don't know when when
I saw him, and of course he's tall, and I
was like, gosh, I was a little bit starstruck by
(34:49):
Bill Russell.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
But you're not even a basketball I know.
Speaker 4 (34:52):
It just just one of the legends of the all
time Lorrain.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
Oh yeah, I just talked about this the other day.
Speaker 10 (34:59):
One of my big this ones was Mariah Carey when
I was working at the Honda Center and I was
like super like close, like I could sniffer. She smelled
like lavender. But you're not You're not supposed to say
anything and just supposed to act normal or else you
can get fired. Obviously, I breathed when my walk by,
and my my nose is good at that got a
good sniffer.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
I was in an elevator. I was in an elevator
of Lorena back when USC had these great football teams
every year with Pete Carroll. They were like a pro
football team. And I was in an elevator with Spike
Lee and it was me him and this Rick Fox
and the guy that the coliseum in LA that ran
me over and Spikeney looked at me like, what are
you doing in here? Like he thought I was gonna
(35:39):
kill him herselfing, I don't know.
Speaker 9 (35:40):
I thought you were gonna say he smelled really good.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
Ben, No, I didn't smell him, Lorena, I didn't know Coop.
Speaker 9 (35:50):
No, not really.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
Uh you had no choice group as he did. You
were around famous people.
Speaker 9 (35:57):
Yeah, I can't think of Like, there are certain people
that if I were to meet, I think I would
be starstruck by, but it's it's limited to probably music acts.
Like if I met like James Hetfield from Ittallica would
probably be starstruck or Maynard from Tool or Obama that
would be that's that's.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
Random, not a musician. But no, okay, yeah exactly yea
from Hawaii though I was just in white. What is next?
Speaker 9 (36:27):
What do you ferg dog Hi? He would like to
know are pretzels chips or crackers and trying to start
some crap and he's talking about the you know, the
crunchy ones, not not soft pretzels. Yeah, so it's what
is the choices chips or what chips or crackers that.
Speaker 1 (36:46):
It's because it's it's a ship.
Speaker 9 (36:49):
I think I gotta agree, yeah, I gotta agree with
Ben on this one.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
It's a chip. Yeah, it's you get the you get
the ruffles, you get the hard.
Speaker 10 (36:57):
Chip to be made out of tortillas or potato.
Speaker 1 (37:00):
It does not. That's incorrect.
Speaker 9 (37:01):
Yes, no plantain.
Speaker 1 (37:03):
There are flour cootillas, and that the pretzels made out
of flour. Right, No, I've debunked your argument. Right, take
off fretzel. It's a chip. It is a chip. That's
the way it is.
Speaker 9 (37:19):
The way that I look at it is I feel
like chips are crunchier than crackers, and it doesn't get
too like to like much more crunchy than they get.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
A differentel stales at a chip you. I don't think
so that the pretzel is in the same category like
the hot dog. Like the hot dog is in that category.
There's certain food certain food dishes that are in between cracker.
Speaker 4 (37:44):
I'm going cracker.
Speaker 1 (37:45):
Is it taco a sandwich?
Speaker 9 (37:47):
What is your reasoning behind choosing cracker?
Speaker 4 (37:49):
I just think when I think of the like the
texture and the taste of a pretzel, I would compare
it more to a cracker than a chip.
Speaker 1 (37:55):
What kind of crackers you eat? That's wrong with you?
Speaker 9 (37:57):
Saltines I guess that's that's the closest one that I
can thing.
Speaker 4 (38:00):
You're cracker side, join the Crackers crew.
Speaker 1 (38:06):
I'm the cracker. Be careful? What is next here?
Speaker 2 (38:10):
What do we have?
Speaker 9 (38:11):
Just by the way the artist sports talk save that
one for Queen of Hearts on Wednesday. That's more.
Speaker 1 (38:18):
Yeah, that's more of a great love advice. What are
you talking? All right?
Speaker 9 (38:23):
Uh, let's go with the King Rory.
Speaker 1 (38:25):
He wants to know.
Speaker 9 (38:26):
Is it weird to watch kids cartoons by yourself?
Speaker 1 (38:30):
No, I think it would be weirder if you were
with like other grown ups. I think I don't know
about kids, other kids yourself, I would know we would
watch my little pony with me?
Speaker 4 (38:45):
Yeah, any I mean, yeah, that's you know, I don't
I guess if it's I don't know. I haven't like
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
I feel like Network go out of business.
Speaker 4 (38:55):
I heard it did, but I don't know if that
was if that was a rumor or not, but I
think it did. I it's a little weird. I say,
it's a little weird.
Speaker 1 (39:02):
No, not by yourself, but other people be weird.
Speaker 4 (39:05):
It's weird all the way around.
Speaker 9 (39:06):
You Just I mean, I have a kid, so that's
not weird.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
If it cheese is weird, like if you don't.
Speaker 9 (39:11):
Have Yeah, but I do it by myself.
Speaker 4 (39:14):
I've heard it's good pizza, though I've never been.
Speaker 1 (39:17):
Not good pizza.
Speaker 9 (39:18):
Yes, it's kind of weird
Speaker 1 (39:21):
On the spectrum, on the weird spectrum,
Hello and welcome. It's our Dumber three original Recipe podcast.
As I step in to the batter's box, can anyone
stop the runaway train of Paul Skenes and his magic
carpet ride in Pittsburgh? We'll examine as he chases rainbows? Also,
major League Baseball's home run derby drew the lowest audience
(00:23):
in a decade is twenty fourteen? Why so lackluster? And
talking about baseball, the White Sox are miserable failures this
year and considering their current timeline, word is that starter
Garrett Crochet and outfielder Luis Robert have a decent chance
to be dealt. What does that mean for the Chicago fan,
(00:46):
the long suffering Chicago American League fan. We'll talk about
that and a whole lot more right now as we
are just warming up the old engine in our number three,
the feeni phenoms in baseball? Is there any stopping him? Well,
gom In the beginning of another hour of the Ben
(01:11):
Malors Show, we are in the air everywhere as key
collaborators keeping the pot boiling all night, coast to coast, border,

Buying Show b and our lead this hour, I do
want to let all the affiliates down line, though. We
will have asked Ben coming up later this hour, so
if you'd like to have your question read, use the
hashtag ask Ben on X and we may use it
on the air. We'll also have the Malord Riddle of
the Day coming up a little bit later this hour.
(02:13):
But our lead from baseball and the All Star break
is going on right now. The All Star Game is
in the rear view mirror, you like. They know that
Major League Baseball is on sabbatical because the players can
plain a couple of years ago and the owners gave
them the full week off, so there is no baseball
to break down, not that we normally break down regular
season games Anyway, the games will resume this weekend, players
(02:35):
taking random holiday trips. Now many are still doing the
post mortem on the various performances, the things that happen
at the All Star Game involving the new phenom as
baseball marketing. Major League Baseball Marketing spending a lot of
time promoting the phenom. I assume you were watching, you
(02:56):
were following along, you heard about this. Perhaps not the
NL All Stars they lost the game, but the starter
of the All Star Game, the Pirates, rookie starter Paul Skeins,
was throwing bbs. He was throwing darts up there. The
Buccos are currently in a rush hour gridlock situation to
make the playoffs. They are a five hundred team at
(03:19):
the All Star break. They've won as many games as
they have lost. That's where they are. They are sitting
a game and a half back out of the playoffs,
the three wildcard spots in the National League. Now they
are part of a group, a dog pile of nine
teams that are fighting to make three playoff spots, all
within three and a half games a paydirt, So there's
(03:41):
a bit of a bottleneck to get in the playoffs. Now,
the Atlanta Braves have a pretty sizable lead for that
first wildcard, so you're really talking about the second and
third wild card that are in play. And much of
the conversation, though, has been about whether or not the
ace in the deck of cards for the Pio Paul
Skins is that guy? Is he that guy? You're that guy? Pal,
(04:04):
It's not that you're not that guy. You're that guy.
Is he so good that he can carry the woebegone
Bucos into the playoffs? So let us discuss the question
can anyone stop Paul Skein's magic carpet ride in Pittsburgh?
So I've got pseudo science, elephant and M four Sherman,
(04:29):
and we will combine all of these things together and
we will be right at your fingertips right now, or
in this case, your ear drums. So to answer first
of all, to answer the question is the short answers yes.
I've been told by Lorena that that is not good enough,
that I must go longer than just saying yes, Can
(04:49):
anyone stop Paul Skin's magic cover? Right? The answers yes?
So I will expand on my my answer. The same
bugaboo that derails almost every sing ingle young phenom pitcher
in baseball is currently knocking at the door. And what
is it you ask? That would be the dreaded I
(05:11):
call it the chopper, the helicopter parents with the Pittsburgh
Pirates who masquerade as pitching coaches, managers, front office nerds,
the babying of Paul Skins, the people in charge, the
people that sign the checks. There behind the rules of BA.
(05:35):
They've indoctrinated every single team in basement. There's not one
team that doesn't do this. They all love the same dogma.
It's pitch counts, inning limits, fatigue prevention, whatever that is, recommendations.
All of that is the holy grail injury prevention. They
(05:58):
are convinced that they have figured out the cheat code
to the matrix. Spoiler alert, spoiler alert. While they are
well intentioned, they are idiots. It doesn't work. It's pseudo science,
is what it is. All of it, the pitch counts,
the inning limits, the fatigue said, well, what do you know,
(06:23):
you're just the overnight guy. I've actually talked to the
people that played the game back in the day when
they didn't have pitch counts, when they didn't have inning limits,
fatigue prevention, injury prevention, and every one of them, I've
yet to talk to anyone you played that here. I
had Tommy John on my podcast. I've talked to over
the years, Nolan Ryan, the late Mike Marshall, the pitcher
(06:45):
for the Dodgers, who was a relief pitcher period in
over one hundred games when a cy young, all of them,
all of these people, they say, you throw more, not less.
You don't have these limits. It's ridiculous. And the other
evidence forget Maybe you say, well, those are just boomers.
Some of those guys are dead. Who cares. Okay, you
(07:06):
hate old people. I get it. You know you're one
of those people. But my evidence example B, if you will,
I'll call example D the Doyers, the Dodgers. This is
I don't need to tell you anything other than the Dodgers.
Every hot shock, young pitcher, every can't miss phenom has
(07:27):
come to the Dodgers has been spoon fed Gerber baby food,
starting when they're in the minor leagues, right strict guidelines,
they track pressure, pitches, injury prevention, they do all of it,
pitch counts, inning limits, everywhere, and yet they all end
up in the injury ten all of it. So my
(07:49):
advice to the Pirates with Paul Skins, and I know
they're not gonna do this, but I'll give it out anyway.
The Pirates oughta go old school. My goals, release the Kraken,
but out the Seattle Crack. Release the Kraken. Let Paul
Skens cook. He's gonna get hurt anyway. But I foreshadow
in my crystal ball as a distant relative of Noster
(08:10):
Damis and friend of Noster Denis, he lives in Seattle.
The Pirates will be right there on the doorstep of
making the Plus, they're not gonna make any trades. Why
would they, They are cheap franchise. But they'll be in
position to make the playoffs. And then they'll be like
Paul Skeins, he's got too many innings and he's thrown
too many pitches, and we're gonna limit him. Maybe we'll
put him in the bullpen and turn out the last.
(08:32):
The parties over right now. Second, staying with the afterglow
of the All Star festivities of Major League Baseball, the
Crown Jewel the Home Run Derby the Midsummer Spectacle had
just five point four million viewers for the event that
was from eight twenty to midnight Eastern time. That is
(08:56):
an event won by ti Oscar Hernandez of the Doyers.
But the viewership the lowest in a decade, the lowest
since then. Oakland outfielder Johanna Cesspidis won his second Derby
over a decade ago. And the reason that was low
in ratings is because there was an hour rain delay,
(09:17):
if I remember correctly. So the Major League Baseball Home
Run Derby, this signature event of this week for baseball,
attracted the lowest audience since twenty fourteen. Why was it
so lack luster? Why were people not engaged? So I'm
gonna tell you what baseball is claiming is the problem.
(09:39):
I not what I think is the problem. What Baseball
is saying the problem is is the elephant. They're blaming
the elephant or go The Home Run Derby went head
to head with the Republican National Convention and lost. They're like, well,
it hadn't been for the Republican Convention, the GOP get together,
(10:00):
then this would have taken place. The ratings would have
been great, and it would have been wonderful. The Derby
was down eleven percent year to year. That is when
Toronto's Vladdie Guerrero Junior won the event. Now here's what
I think the problem is. My belief is the problem
is the biggest stars in baseball are scaredy catch, they're cowards.
(10:21):
They don't want to be part of the home run derby.
I'm talking about shohe O Tani, Aaron Judge, and Bryce Harper.
Those are the three big guns right there, because they
all have fear of embarrassment. Then we'll get up there
and pull a Mike Piazza. Piazza was big starback in
the nineties. He did the home run Derby and didn't
hit one home run and people goofed on him. And
I will also go back to more of the pseudo
(10:43):
science that we just talked about earlier in this monologue,
that it's fatigued prevention, and that even though there is
evidence to indicate that it does not affect performance in
the second half, yet the players it's like the Tinkerbell effect.
Enough people believe believe that by being in the home
run derby, you're going to stink in the second half.
(11:04):
It's sauce, it's weak sauce, but people follow it. It's
maddening and the same thing's happened. In basketball. The three
point contest is much more enjoyable than the dunk contest,
which is unwatchable, all right, typically unwatchable. There are guys
(11:24):
that you've never heard of, who even their family doesn't
know is in the dunk contest, that is in the
dunk contest, all right. Now, final thought. We go to Chicago,
where the food is good, the baseball not so much.
The White Sox they suck. And I was reading a
story this week about the current timeline of the franchise.
(11:45):
The word is that starter Garrett Crochet and outfielder Luis
Robert have a decent chance to be dealt. So what
does that mean for the Chicago fan, the long suffering
White Sox fan, the big one, the pitcher here, Garrett,
Garrett Crochet. So what does it mean? So it means
(12:05):
that the ownership of the White Sox is looking to
take the tin can and they want to punt it
through the end zone, down the road, through the end zone.
They are driving around a classic m for Sherman and
they're not afraid to admit it. They are in full
on tank any tank mode. Now, this guy, Garrett Crochet,
(12:29):
who I had never heard of before this season, and
he's been around for a few years. He has come
out of nowhere and he's got amazing numbers as a
left hander. The White Sox want to deal him for
two reasons, right. Number one is he's pitching too well, right,
(12:50):
he's too good, and they're really worried about the footwear,
which leads into number two or go that eventually he's
gonna wake up, get out of bed and realize, wait
a minute, what I'm pitching like Mark Burley or black
Jack McDowell and I'm Garrett Crochet. What is going on here?
And so they're worried that Cinderella's glass slipper is going
(13:12):
to turn back into a crappy shoe at midnight, and
they want to trade him before that happens and get
something perceived of value for him. But it's also a
sign that they just really don't want to win anything
at all. They don't even try to put a competitive
team on the field, and they're just hanging on trying
to get a bunch of draft pick hires raft picks.
And it sucks. I hate it, I hate it, I
(13:34):
hate it. All right, is the Ben Mahler Show. If

great year for the truck. So it's all cyclical.

he has a truck with our name on it and
it's been here to the mother Ship and we we've
got photos with it. He's got the Ben Malor show
on the side of the truck and so, uh, I
mean that's above and beyond the call of duty. Moving man, Matt, Well,
we hoped, we hope you get that.
Speaker 7 (21:11):

Speaker 4 (21:13):

have to stop by and do a photo shoot with
the warehouse. I'll have to do that. Very important.

They're downgraded. They got rid of Stefawon Diggs and they
didn't replace him. But that's all right. Stefan Diggs was
a problem last year.
Speaker 8 (23:10):
I understand that. I really didn't understand. But it's pretty good.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
He was up until the last ten games or so
in the regular season, and he disappeared the last two
years in the playoffs. He disappeared. Remember he had a
hissy fit in twenty twenty three's playoffs, and then this
past year in twenty twenty four, he was essentially a
decoy against Kansas City in that playoff game.

Speaker 2 (24:48):
All be sure to catch live editions of The Ben
Maller Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 4 (24:54):
We had some sports history last night. Someone named Keevan
Sullivan took the field for the Philadelphia Union in their
match against the New England Revolution. That's MLS soccer. Oh
what did he do to make history?
Speaker 1 (25:10):
He became the first guy to do a line of
coke in the middle of a game.
Speaker 4 (25:14):
Any, well, that's very negative. No, this is this is
he is the youngest first.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
There were a bunch of NFL players in the eighties
and the baseball players that did coke during games?
Speaker 4 (25:23):
Is that right on the field?
Speaker 9 (25:25):
The lines?
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Now, yeah, they were Remember they called Tim Rain's nickname
was rock Rains because he had a rock of cocaine allegedly.
Speaker 4 (25:31):
We're not talking about horrible things like that, Sorry about
so we talk about something amazing. He became the youngest
athlete ever to play in a major North American sport.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
How old is he?
Speaker 4 (25:43):
Fourteen?
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Fourteen?
Speaker 4 (25:45):
Fourteen year old playing Major League soccer?
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Come on, Nike's used fourteen make the shoes than that.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
You know whose record he broke as who was the
previous youngest player? I remember Freddy Adu Remember, Oh.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
Yeah, that guy was gonna He's gonna save American soccer.
Freddy you do was the chosen one, Eddie? And how
many we won? Like two or three World Cups since
he and Freddy Do?
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Right?
Speaker 1 (26:09):
DC legend, Freddy you do?
Speaker 2 (26:12):
I think so.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
I think you're right. I think it was DC.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Yeah, oh yeah. I heard every soccer, every soccer Hardo
told me that Freddy you do? How do you do that?
That's the game? How old is Freddy you do?
Speaker 5 (26:25):
Now?
Speaker 4 (26:26):
Oh god, he got play in his thirties? I would think,
let me.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Check out, Freddy you do? I think he's playing soccer
in Europe. I think, oh boy, we're gonna date ourselves here, ready,
Freddy you do? Is A survey says, according to the Internet,
thirty five years old. Holy crap, now that thirty five? Yeah,
Freddy the next pele? Eddie, he was the next pele. No,
(26:52):
he said he was. They told me he was the
next pele. They told me that Eddie.
Speaker 4 (26:56):
Not saying that about Keevan Sullivan. They're they're, you know,
down playing him, which is probably the better idea.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
I don't. According to the Interweb, he's not currently playing.
He last played in twenty twenty one for a team
in the Swedish Football League. So I guess he's too
old now, he's washed up.
Speaker 4 (27:17):
I guess.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
So that's it. It's all over, turn out the last
the party's over. Oh yeah, I remember we we did shows, Freddy,
you do that? Guy's been twenty twenty years, over twenty
years since he came on the scene in the MLS.

pretty wild that I'm in the same same room. I remember,
I've told the short before in the podcast. When I
was a kid, there was a famous comedian. I had
no idea who this guy was, but my mom thought
this guy was a huge deal. And I happened to
be at a bar mitzvah and he was there a
(34:00):
different event and it was this guy named Don Rickles
who was a famous comedian when I was a kid,
and so I did a movie with him, didn't you did? Yeah,
I went up to him. He was a jerk to me,
but uh, but that was a stick I guess. But no,
as an adult. No. When I started I started in
radio as a young guy, I interviewing with like Michael Jordan.
When I first started, it was like a huge deal,
(34:23):
but lately not so much. What about you, Eddie.
Speaker 4 (34:27):
I mean, I've been around a lot of famous athletes
and for the most part, I'm not starstruck. I'm like, oh,
that's pretty cool, but I don't. One guy I did
kind of was like wow, and that was Bill Russell,
and I just was like, damn, that guy. What a legend,
you know what I mean. I don't know when when
I saw him, and of course he's tall, and I
was like, gosh, I was a little bit starstruck by
(34:49):
Bill Russell.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
But you're not even a basketball I know.
Speaker 4 (34:52):
It just just one of the legends of the all

of Lorena back when USC had these great football teams
every year with Pete Carroll. They were like a pro
football team. And I was in an elevator with Spike
Lee and it was me him and this Rick Fox
and the guy that the coliseum in LA that ran
me over and Spikeney looked at me like, what are
you doing in here? Like he thought I was gonna
(35:39):

Speaker 9 (35:50):

Speaker 1 (35:51):
Uh you had no choice group as he did. You
were around famous people.
Speaker 9 (35:57):
Yeah, I can't think of Like, there are certain people
that if I were to meet, I think I would
be starstruck by, but it's it's limited to probably music acts.
Like if I met like James Hetfield from Ittallica would
probably be starstruck or Maynard from Tool or Obama that
would be that's that's.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
Random, not a musician. But no, okay, yeah exactly yea
from Hawaii though I was just in white. What is next?
Speaker 9 (36:27):
What do you ferg dog Hi? He would like to
know are pretzels chips or crackers and trying to start
some crap and he's talking about the you know, the
crunchy ones, not not soft pretzels. Yeah, so it's what
is the choices chips or what chips or crackers that.
Speaker 1 (36:46):
It's because it's it's a ship.
Speaker 9 (36:49):
I think I gotta agree, yeah, I gotta agree with
Ben on this one.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
It's a chip. Yeah, it's you get the you get
the ruffles, you get the hard.
Speaker 10 (36:57):
Chip to be made out of tortillas or potato.
Speaker 1 (37:00):
It does not. That's incorrect.
Speaker 9 (37:01):
Yes, no plantain.
Speaker 1 (37:03):
There are flour cootillas, and that the pretzels made out
of flour. Right, No, I've debunked your argument. Right, take
off fretzel. It's a chip. It is a chip. That's
the way it is.
Speaker 9 (37:19):
The way that I look at it is I feel
like chips are crunchier than crackers, and it doesn't get
too like to like much more crunchy than they get.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
A differentel stales at a chip you. I don't think
so that the pretzel is in the same category like
the hot dog. Like the hot dog is in that category.
There's certain food certain food dishes that are in between cracker.
Speaker 4 (37:44):
I'm going cracker.
Speaker 1 (37:45):
Is it taco a sandwich?
Speaker 9 (37:47):
What is your reasoning behind choosing cracker?
Speaker 4 (37:49):
I just think when I think of the like the
texture and the taste of a pretzel, I would compare
it more to a cracker than a chip.
Speaker 1 (37:55):
What kind of crackers you eat? That's wrong with you?
Speaker 9 (37:57):
Saltines I guess that's that's the closest one that I
can thing.

one for Queen of Hearts on Wednesday. That's more.

you talking? All right?

Speaker 1 (38:25):
He wants to know.
Speaker 9 (38:26):
Is it weird to watch kids cartoons by yourself?

No, I think it would be weirder if you were
with like other grown ups. I think I don't know
about kids, other kids yourself, I would know we would
watch my little pony with me?
