Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Talking' bass mall in our number three, a lot of
hot stove action from the general manager meetings in Lost Wages, Nevada.
That's where we go for hour number three on this Wednesday,
the twelfth day of November. A Malard monologue included. In
that Malard monologue, you're about to hear what do you

(00:20):
make of the family feud between Bryce Harper and Dave
Dombrowski in Philadelphia? We have an update update on that. Also,
does this statement from the Pirates GM. He's said that
Paul Skeens will be on the Pirates in twenty twenty six,
will be a Pirate? Does that end the Paul Skins

(00:42):
trade talk before the Hot Stove League even gets going?
And should the Dodgers spend big on former Yankees reliever
Devin Williams who used to play for the Brewers. Dodgers
said to be hot and heavy for Devin Williams. We'll
talk about that and more right now here. It is
our number three. We'll call it a Philly meet and greet.

(01:08):
Well gone. In the beginning of another hour of the
Ben Malors Show, we are in the air, Evwhere, slithering
through the overnight as we are the People's Court, the
show by the people, for the people, all about the people. Therefore,

(01:28):
we are the People's Court. Coast to coast, border to border,
and beyond on the vast and discernibly powerful microphones of
fs are emmnating live from the weeds as we are
deep in the weeds from the world famous Fox Sports
Radio studios, as approved by Strip Club John in Cleveland

(01:51):
and Danny in Nashville, who seems to think that college
football is superior to the end, even though every college
coach who I've ever come across all say their dream
was to be in the NFL. But yet for him,
he said, no, no, no, it's college football. That's where
it's at. That's that's the thing right there at college football. Well,

(02:11):
this portion of the Ben Maler Show on Fox made
possible in part by our friends at tire Rack. That's right,
Robbie the Mariner fan. For over forty years, tyre Raq
has been helping customers like Chris in Boston find the
right tires for how, what and where they drive, ship
fast and free back by free road hazard protection with
convenient installation options like mobile tire installation, tire Iraq dot Com.

(02:36):
Oh Wait, tire buying should be so in an effort
to warm you up as the weather turns cold in
many places here this time of the year, on this Wednesday.
So our lead this hour from Lost Wages, Nevada. We
go to sin City, the GM meetings that are going
on right now. Yeah, you've been following this. No, it's

(02:59):
storyline nine. Overload, overload, all right, So we go now
to the Cosmo. It's the Cosmopolitan, a hotel for middle
aged women. That is where it makes baseball is only
I'm not making this up out. I've been to Cosmopolitan.
They've got very a lot of interesting things down, but

(03:20):
that's where the GM meetings are. Uh So that is
where we go and it's it is just redoncaous. So
the inside skinny on this. Philly's executive Dave Dombrowski. Now,
I like this guy. Don Browski's been a GM my
entire time on the radio. Before I old kid, Dombrowski

(03:40):
was an executive in baseball. So Dave Dombrowski, the executive
in Philadelphia, says that he's had a long conversation with
star Bryce Harper, and this a follow up to previous
male monologues of days of yore. So I had a
conversation with Bryce Harper don Browski recently, but would not

(04:01):
go into specifics about what the two discussed. He just said, oh, yeah,
we talked. We had a little conversation. That's it. We
had a conversation. So this comes after Dombrowski famously questioned
if Bryce Harper would ever become truly elite again. Now,
Harper had a good season for the Fighting Phils in
twenty twenty five, but he was not anywhere near what

(04:23):
he had been in his salad days when he had
natitude in his blood. Even his early days in Philadelphia
and the playoffs, Bryce Harper was futile against the Dodger
pitching staff three of fifteen in the playoffs. And if
you look at his overall season and you go by
the NERD stats, Bryce Harper had an eight forty four ops,

(04:44):
which we are told the lowest he's had in almost
a decade. I don't think that's good. Oh, you're being
such a hit. So that is a good jumping off point,
just the conversation, the little pow wow between Dombrowski and
Bryce Harper and what so let us discuss the question,
what do you make of the family feud, the family

(05:06):
feud between Bryce Harper and Dave dom Browski in Philadelphia.
We're hearing about it here at the GM meetings in Vegas.
So my views on this, I've got Walgreens, African Safari,
and Sheboygan and we will combine all of these things
together and we're gonna make the gobbagool. We're gonna have

(05:28):
the Gobba gool. That's what we're gonna have, all right.
So first of all, Hey, I'm here as a talk
show host. I support I'd like to represent all the
other gas backs and blowhards to do this for a living.
We fully support a Philadelphia drama. O rama, give us
the soap opera. This sounds to me, based on a
minutes long deliberation, it sounds like a game of tug

(05:50):
of war. You've got the star player who's got the
forever contract. You've got the sizzled baseball executive, the sizzled
and grizzled baseball executive. So my diagnosis is that Bryce
Harper is having a hard time handling the prescription he
got at Walgreens. The medication it's a hard pill to

(06:12):
swallow here, and he's got hurt feelings. Dombrowski got into
his feels. He's got hurt feelings over is this little dose.
Dombrowski gave a little dose of serum truth surum, and
Harper's been a delicate little flower, being very sensitive about
what's going on. He don't like this, and nobody wants

(06:33):
their boss to call them out. And it's Days of
Our Lives Meet, the show that people used to watch
called Sports Center back in the day. As the Bat turns,
As the Bat turns. Anyway, Dombrowski, here's my theory on this.
I said this in previous episodes of the show, and
I'm going to double down on it right now that
Dave Dombrowski, what he's doing here is the classic old

(06:58):
school front all off this move. There's a couple of
things people do. This is the poke the bear strategy.
The poke the bear strategy that you see if the
multi million dollar bopper for the fight and Phills is like,
I'm gonna, I'm hungry, I want to, I want I'm
upset you upset me? Now, he he could have also

(07:21):
done the compliment sandwich, which he kind of did. Dombrowski,
and I love the compliment sandwich. When I have a
meeting with the boss. I I I When he starts
out with the compliment, I know I'm gonna get just
absolutely ripped apart the next thing the boss says, and
then he'll finish with a compliment. So that's the compliment, Samwich.
We've all had that. But in this case, Dombrowski playing

(07:42):
baseball shrink, baseball psychologist, Dombrowski trying to get Bryce Harper
to go from good to MVP level.

Speaker 2 (07:54):
Good.

Speaker 1 (07:54):
Now he wants that jump. So you call out. If
you look at the old school baseball playbook, you call
out the superstar player publicly, and then you have a
nice conversation, nice conversation, good decorum, privately get together. There,
classic manipulation. It is either way. Bryce Harper is not

(08:16):
going anywhere. He's not he's got a no trade clause.
I believe he's got a thirteen year contract. He has
been branded. He's got the Philly Fanatic tattoo on his
I don't think it's a tramp stand, but he's got
a tattoo. Got a tattoo there of the of the
Philly Fanatic. And you talk about being married to the franchise.
I think when you when you start getting tattoos like that,

(08:39):
and that's a that's a big move.

Speaker 2 (08:40):
Now.

Speaker 1 (08:41):
Meanwhile, so the twenty twenty six Phillies, we are not
even not one new player has been added of note.
And already I am ready to declare that the storylines
have already been made for the twenty twenty sixth Philadelphia Phillies.
It just writes itself. It just it makes for perfect
talk radio. You have Bryce Harper comes out and monster mashes.

(09:05):
Oh man, he's hitting the ball out of the bank,
and oh he dominates again and everyone's happy and all that,
and it's he showed Dave Dombrowski, who wears the pants
in Philadelphia, shoved it down Dombrowski's throat like vegetables to
a child. Now there's that in the multiverse. You know,

(09:28):
there's multiple outcomes of these stories. So in the multiverse,
there's another version where Bryce Harper comes out there and sucks,
is just terrible, gets hurt, doesn't play well. Is a
falling star. Don't let a falling star fall on you.
And if that happens, he's got plausible deniability, Bryce Harper,

(09:51):
he simply says, Dave Dombrowski is the reason Bryce is
trying too hard. I love that trying to hard. Such
a good excuse, trying too hard, and so it it's
Dombrowski's fault. Dom Browski broke Bryce Harper. So there's that.
There's that part of the story. So either way, the lights,

(10:14):
camera action, all that stuff's going on and cue the music,
like signs through the hourglass. So are the phillies of
our lives there? It is all right? Anyway. Secondly, now
more from the GM meetings. Now, one of the names
that we talked about a couple weeks back and the
player to watch, the player to watch here, that would

(10:36):
be the ace in the hole for the Pittsburgh Pirates.
So the great ace debate Ben Cherrington. You probably don't
know who that is unless you're a baseball hard. Oh
but Ben Cherrington is the general manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates.
What a great job. You're not supposed to win. You
paid a lot of money, you have a nice, affordable
home in Pittsburgh, nice ballpark to go to every day,

(10:59):
and you don't have to get good baseball players because
the team doesn't want to win. But that's a great job. Sorryry.
Ben Charrington was asked about the snuffalupagus in the room.
That would be none other than the Paul Skeins trade rumors.
And what did Ben Charrington say? He said, quote he
is going to be a pirate in twenty twenty six.
Close quote. Okay, question for the Esteemed panel, the question

(11:26):
is does this statement by Ben Charrington the Pirates gm
end the conversation about Paul Skens, the former LSU star
being traded. All right, so on this one, I've got
to N plus O as in no and like seriously,

(11:50):
come on. That is the baseball general manager dog whistle.
That is a dog whistle for Okay, the offers aren't
that great, boys. We need better offers. That's what that is.
We need better offers. Everyone's got a price. The Pirates
have become Baseball's version of a Quickie Mart. They are.

(12:11):
You need a late night snack, where you're gonna go
Quickie Mark? You had a toilet paper where you're gonna go?
Quickie Mart? You need an alcoholic beverage, where are you
gonna go? That's right, Quickie Mart. Yeah, that's where you go.
And everything's on sale. They're in Pittsburgh too. Everything's on
sale to Quickie Mart. It's just wonderful. So this is
not over. This is not over by a long shot.

(12:32):
You've got the Dodgers, the Yankees, the Red Sox, the
Pittsburg Pirates are gonna do business with those. How about
the Phillies we just talked about, Dave Dombrowski. All the
big money teams, all the big time players. You're not
gonna see Tampa Bay or the Sacramento Athletics or something
like that. They're not gonna see them go after this guy.

(12:54):
But think of this like an African safari, big game hunting,
and they say there's the five, the big five, Right,
they talk about the Big five, This is really the
big six. You've got the lion, You've got the elephant,
you've got the cape buffalo, the leopard, you've got the rhino,

(13:16):
and you have the bona fide number one starting pitcher.
And Paul Skeins is not a leopard, a rhino, a
cape buffalo, an elephant, or a lion. He is though
that last box. He checks what's in the box. He
checks the box. And so this is a supply and
demand situation. We all know that there is a supply
chain shortage of real aces. The demand is through the roof.

(13:38):
Even though they love their bullpens. All these nerd teams
love the bullpens and all that stuff. So all it
takes is one Godfather offer, right, leave the canoli, take
the right handed pitcher. That's all you gotta do. Boom
done in. The pirates love conolis, so they would be
all about that. They could have a canol race instead

(14:00):
of the parogi race. They get to have a wonderful time.
And it's the pirates of the team that you beat,
and they might beat you. Actually they might beat you
in April or May or June. But the trade deadline
and this time of the year, the GM meetings and
then the real potstove cranks up in December. They're always selling.

(14:21):
They're always selling. You can't get whoever you want, they'll
trade him. It's baseball's food chain, and they're not very
high up on the food chain. And so Ben Sherrington
can say whatever he wants when he's getting text messages
from Brian Cashman and his nerds, and he's getting messages
from Andrew Friedman and his nerds out in la And

(14:42):
you know, it's all it takes is one of these guys,
whether it's Cashman or Andrew Friedman. We've all seen the movie.
Just slide the metaphorical horsehead under the pillow of Ben
Cherrington and all of a sudden, he's gonna fold faster
than a blackjack dealer at the Cosmo where the GM
things are going on right now. So, no, the trade

(15:03):
talk is not dead. In fact, the dollars to donuts.
I will bet you that there will be a story
in the next ten days of so and so has
made a massive offer to get Paul Skis and that team.
You know, I'm gonna name the team right now. It's
my favorite team of the off season, the team that
every year I say, this is the most interesting team

(15:26):
to watch in the hostole vague. You know the name
of the team? You think? Do you think I'm gonna
say the Dodge. No, I'm not the Dodge. Yankees, not
the Yankees, Red So, not the Red Cuck. My favorite team,
Mystery Team. I love the Mystery Team. I love when
I see Ken Rosenthal say mystery Team. I know that

(15:50):
is a ninety nine bull crap, but I love it.
I know that's mostly a plant when the insiders say
that mostly a plant from the agent, but I'm all
about it, all right. Final thought, more from the Cosmo
in Vegas where the gms. I'm sure their wives and girlfriends,
the wags are having a great time there at the Cosmo.

(16:11):
So the back to back reigning World Series champion Doyers,
and they've got their Bassett hound out and they're sniffing.
They're sniffing. They're trying to find someone in the bullpen
who won't embarrass them. In October, the Does won the
World Series and they used a bunch of starting pitchers.
Their bullpen literally vomited giant chunks of goo, and so

(16:35):
they had to go starting pitching in the play and
they still won the world It was embarrassing to Milwaukee
and Toronto and all these teams. They the Phillies and
the Reds might goy. So the name named a watch
Devin Williams now Devin Williams, the guy with a cool
nickname is a nickname the Airbender. Oh it's a good name,
good name, good name. Not a good picture though, that's

(16:59):
the uh, not a good picture, not right now? All right?
So the question should the Dodgers, who have money to burn.
They got all that Japanese money from Otani and all,
you know, Yamamoto and all those guys there, they're just
raking in the doll from Japan. So should they spend
that Japanese currency and bring in Devin Williams. That's the question. So,

(17:23):
as the voice of reason, hard pass, hard pass, don't
want them. I've been down this road before. Don't want them. Well,
people have bad years at baseball. I get that, don't
want them on my team. He was nails in Milwaukee,
give him that e RA sub two multiple years. But

(17:47):
compared to the Yankees and the Dodgers, let's be honest. Here,
you're it's like you're performing at the Sheboygan Theater Company.
Not that I have anything against the Sheboygan Theater Company,
I'm sure, just a wonderful venue where they perform. We
saw what happened when you took a guy from the
Sheboygan Theater Company and you dropped him into Broadway. It's
actually off Broadway in the Bronx. How did that turn out? Wow? Yeah,

(18:11):
suddenly he was threatn He was sweating through his jersey
on the on the mound, desperately trying to get to
that third out. Not good. A Broadway bust. Devin Williams.
And as soon as the curtain went up. As soon
as the curtain went up, the man forgot the lines.
He could not remember. There were no teleprompters, could not

(18:32):
remember the lines. A guy that had a sub to
era and era like one and a half and below
year after year for the brew crew at the Sheboygan Theater.
There he ends up in New York. His era was
almost five four seventy nine, four seventy nine, which used
to be the price of a value meal back in
the day, not anymore now it's like fifteen bucks. But anyway,

(18:57):
uh so I look at everything here, the era, the flop,
the fact that he was demoted as the Yankee closer
in April, he got the job back, he was demoted again. Now,
so the Yankee Stadium's an animal house. Dodger Stadium is
pretty crazy these days too. So you go into LA
and it's gonna be similar to pitching at Yankee Stadium.

(19:17):
And so if you have flop sweat in the Bronx,
you're gonna have the sweaty palms when you play at
Dodger Stadium. And the other issue is we've already seen
the prototype. We've seen it, right, Tanner Scott. Tanner Scott
was a guy. He was a small market assassin. You

(19:38):
put that Teal Marlin's uniform on. Man, was he good?
That's the resume. He went to the big market, big city. Yeah,
not in Kansas anymore. And big market did the belly whopper,
not the whopper, the belly whopper and so and it
was all yo. With Devin was well, he'll be fine,
He'll be fine. They said the same thing with Tanner Scott.

(19:58):
He's just trying to jaws to a new team. He's
gonna be fine. Everything will be okay, Okay, we're still waiting.
He didn't even pitch in the playoffs. He was that bad. Yeah,
so there you go. And I guarantee it. This guy,
Devin Williams second inning of his debut, he will be
hyper ventilating. They're gonna have to have a not a

(20:20):
pitching change. They're gonna have to have an oxygen tank,
go out to the mound. He'll need, if not that,
a paper bag at least. So for the Dodgers, they
have so much what's the word of that, there's so
much hubris over there because they keep winning the World
Series that they think they can literally do anything, and
they've got money to burn. I just like there's there's

(20:42):
other people out there. Devin Williams is not gonna pitch cheap.
I would think. I know he's coming off a terrible
year and all that stuff, but the guy shows you
that he's lacking the big cajones. Didn't he give up
a massive home run in the playoffs with the Brewers
too is last year in Milwaukee? I think he did.
Was he on the mound when? Nah? I think he

(21:02):
was on the mound when the Polar Bear hit that
home run against the Brewers. I think he was on
the man anyway. Either way, he has not shown the
big Cojotes in precious situations. It is the Ben Mahlor Show.
As we are navigating the overnight skies here and there's
a line open for you at eight seven, seven ninety
nine on Fox Now, you can call up and talk

That was Johnny Q's answer. All right, all right, let's
reveal reveal answers. It was not lottery tickets Guests by

(27:35):
Tampa to Vegas. So I think we know he was
in the eight one three and now he's in the
seven oh two because he loved Vegas so much. The
correct answer, So the Mallord Riddle of the day. Former
NBA All Star Jeff Tiege says he spent five thousand
dollars on lottery tickets trying to win the lottery to
get out of the NBA. We still have got to

(28:00):
call the show named Sir scratch Off. And that's like
something he does on a weekly basis. He buys a
bunch of lottery tickets. Thus he's named Sir scratch Off.
And I find that story for Gayzy or for Gazi.
Here's why do you know which money Jeff Teague made
in his NBA career? You want to take a guess
career earnings of Jeff Tea. Now, he made one All

(28:22):
Star game. He was your standard vagabond NBA player, not
a bad player, not a great player. He bounced around
from team to team, the team and all that stuff,
so played a decent amount. What do you think his
career earnings were? You got a number in your head there,

(28:43):
all right? Jeff Teague played a from nine to twenty
twenty so his mat league for five years, he made
ninety eight million dollars. So are we supposed to believe
a guy make ninety eight million dollars needed to play
the lottery so he could retire. Come on, do you

(29:06):
smell that?

Speaker 2 (29:07):
Sorry?

Speaker 1 (29:07):
What it's bull crap. That's the smell of book crap
right there. That's a porta potty. That's the That's what

from football to reassess his future future. Uh yeah, he's

(29:53):
he's dune skis. He's playing the He's going to focus
on his mental and physical health. This just a few
days after the Philadelphia Eagle said we really want you,
we need you. He's made two All Pro teams in
his career. He has informed Jayi Alexander the Philadelphia Eagles
that he is not going to play, that he's he's

(30:15):
apparently not right, and he's contemplating retirement, which means he's done.
He's done. That's it. The Eagles traded a sixth round Traffe.
They didn't give up much. They didn't give much up
to get Jaire Alexander. It was a low risk gamble.
It's fair to say that that did not work out.
Will the NFL broadcasters still kiss the ass of Howie Roseman?

(30:41):
Are they still gonna? How is it great? He just
traded for a guy that like two weeks later is
like I can't play, I'm done, I'm out, or even
a week later. I think it was like a week later.
So good luck on that. And Antonio Brown, this mugs
for you, Antonio Brown. He's back in South Florida. Baby
Antonio Brown who was caught by Marshalls in Dubai. Has

(31:01):
anyone seen the details on that? Did they actually arrest
him in Dubai and then fly him back or did
Antonio Brown decide to fly back. I've heard two different
versions on that. Anyway. Antonio Brown, he was in New
Jersey after he flew back from Dubai, and now he's
been transferred and he took a new mug shot to
South Florida. He's facing an attempted murder charge. Keep in mind,

(31:22):
Antonio Brown did not fire a gun. He did not,
But the prosecutor in South Florida is like, hey, well
it doesn't matter. We have a law here. You don't
have to fire the gun, and you can see you
get charge with the murder and all that stuff. So
that's fairly what happened. Anyway. It is the Ben Mahlor Show.
As we are working our way through the overnight hours

(31:45):
and we are going to have the game, we will
pause for the cause. I think we've got our contestant
to line up. Hold on a second, let me just
check you. Oh, let's see this button right here on
the phone down and then I'll hit the button. Now, Now,
Felex's I can take your calling out, but we have
somebody else lined up for Alexis to play the game.

know you want to play the game, but we have

(32:06):
somebody else ready to play the game. He's already ready

the Bills lose. The Bill's lost. Oh, I didn't want

(32:31):
to talk about that game. That sucks. I mean, oh
my god.

Speaker 2 (32:35):
I guess Josh Allen was worried about that fine he
has to pay.

Speaker 1 (32:40):
Yes, he's very concerned about that. He has no money,
Josh Allen as he has his CASU, no money. He's
only loves my three million dollars. He ain't got no money.
He lives in a bigger house than that. But anyway,
I don't know he sold it. He had a place
right in South Orange County and Dana point his offseason
home right on the ocean right there. Boom manchard, I

(33:03):

pants on fire to my dreams. Okay, okay, I know

Speaker 1 (33:22):

You're down to six? Really, I think so, I don't know.
All right, at one point, Flexus with the seven toed
drag queen, do we have to adjust that to the
six toad drag queen? Okay, all right, the six toad
drag queen? Is it three and is it three and three?

if you don't want to play and you want Flexus
to play, this, hang up right now. Otherwise you're gonna

back of my hands.

it all the way through. Oh, that'd be cool, man. God,
be careful though that you want to keep the job.

all right, we'll get that hand. Yeah.

Not enough? Good luck to you, Max on your way
back to Nashville. Question number one. The Jaguars led to
Texans by nineteen points in the fourth quarter last Sunday loss.
They had won their last forty games when leading by

(37:24):
nineteen or more points at any point in the game.
Is that too much or not enough for Jacksonville? Too much?
All right? This is he right? No, Max, that's all right,
it's only one quote. Not enough. The Jaguars were fifty
three and oh when leading by nineteen or more points
at any point in the game. Now they're fifty three

(37:45):
and one. Question number two. You gotta get three right, Max.
Question number two. Yep. There are twelve players in the
NBA that currently have a plus minus of plus one
hundred or better. Is that too much or not enough?
That is too much all let's find out the answers, No, answers,

(38:07):
not enough. There's actually only there's fourteen players with a
plus minus of one hundred and more. Nikoli Jokich, better
known as the Joker, leads the way with plus one forty.

Gibbs just became the thirteenth running back in NFL history
with four thousand plus scrimmage yards and forty plus total
touchdowns in their first three seasons. Is that too much
or not enough?

Speaker 2 (38:46):

Speaker 1 (38:47):

He's only eleventh running back to accomplish that in the
first three years. Question number four for Max driving his
truck between Georgia and Nashville. Anthony Davis has played in
thirty five percent of his Maverick game since joining the
team from the Lakers. Is that too much or not
enough to stay alive.
