Speaker 1 (00:00):
Playball, It's our number three, Talking Bay's Ball, It's our
number three The Ben Mather Show. We got the Big
Mother Meet and Greek coming up this weekend in Vegas.
Hopefully you can make it. Details on the social media.
I will not bore you with those details right now,
but we'll be at a cool bar near UNLV from
three o'clock till five o'clock. But here in our number three,
(00:24):
do you believe the Cubs outfielder Kyle Tucker's slump is
directly related to a hand injury which all of a
sudden popped up out of out of the sky. We'll
talk about that. Also, also talking baseball this hour, who
leaked that Cubs right fielder Kyle Tucker's struggles were because
(00:45):
of a hairline fracture in his hand. We'll talk about that.
And also the most embarrassing moment of the week that
goes to the Boston Red Sox manager Alex Korra. He
said the Red Sox did not challenge the O's outfielder
Coleton Kawser because he has an impact arm, and that
that's because of scouting. That is blank. Red Sox end
(01:07):
up losing that game because they did not challenge that
particular baseball player will go there as well. Right now here,
it is our number three, the crack Cubby, the case
of the Crack Cubby. Welcome in the beginning of another
hour of the Ben Mahler Show. We are in the
(01:29):
air everywhere. That's right. You can't stop us the Malard monarchy,
as we are occasionally lost in the shuffle coast to coast, border,
the border, and beyond on the vast and muscularly powerful
microphones of fs are emminating live from the wittle as
(01:54):
we whittle the overnight hours of darkness down to here
at the Fox Sports Radio Studios, as approved by not
a Burner. Not a Burner approves that message and this
portion of the Ben Mathers Show on Fox, made possible
by our friends at Express Employment Professionals. Is a time
(02:17):
for a new job, then it's time for Express Employment
Professionals with the endless online job search enlist the pros.
That's what mister nice Guy and Ferg Dog and Alf
support and Express never charges job seekers a feed. Go
to expresspros dot com. So our lead this hour is
(02:37):
from sweet home Chicago, where the pizza is good and
the sports are usually pretty mediocre. Now the Cubbies somehow
won again. I was watching this game and came down
to the ninth inning and it was a big defensive
play at the end of the game. There the Cubs
won again. They beat the brew Crew. They've now taken
three in a row over the Milwaukee Brewers. The Brewers
(02:59):
have cooled up and they had all the momentum. Why
would the Brewers lose? They had all the momentum. I
don't understand why the Brewers would lose. They had momentum.
But that's not what we're talking about right now. That's
not the story. The story is the demotion Derby, not
demolition Derby. The demotion Derby and a follow up to
(03:21):
a story we talked about in a previous episode of
the show. If you've not been paying attention, maybe not.
A brand new report, brand new report claiming that Cubs
outfielder right fielder Kyle Tucker, and we talked about this
the other day. Kyle Tucker has been benched for Malfeasan's
(03:41):
at home plate and they say, well, he's just gonna reset,
which is code for he sucks, so he's gonna reset.
He's not playing very well right Nobody He's gonna be fine,
He's gonna be fun. Well, now the story comes out.
The plot thickens that Kyle Tucker was diagnosed in early
June with a hairline fracture in his right hand out
(04:04):
of my aching right hand manager Craig Counsel, who defected
from the Milwaukee Brewers Council, a former Dodger, confirmed the
story by saying that Kyle Tucker's injury, though is fully healed,
fully healed. You wouldn't know that from reading the headlines.
So let us discuss question for the esteem panel. Do
(04:27):
you believe that Cubs outfielder Kyle Tucker's slump is directly
related to his hand injury? So my views on this,
I have Moscow Thanksgiving dinner and trained circus seal, and
we will combine all of these things together and we're
(04:50):
gonna make the Gabba gool. We're gonna make the Gabba
gooul is what we're gonna right. So, first of all,
I gotta tell you that being around baseball for a
long time, much closer back in the day than I am, now,
this is the most predictable story, the most predictable story
(05:10):
you could have imagined. This is a humdinger of a
go to excuse in baseball, or as they said when
President Biden was in the White House there, it's misinformation,
is what it is. Misinformation? Uh Tucker, let me tell
you why this is ridiculous. So Kyle Tucker after the injury,
after the injury, Kyle Tucker went out and batted three
(05:32):
hundred three h two had a nine to thirty three
ops for a full month after he suffered a right
hand fracture. The slump did not start until after he
was bawling for a month. So I asked the question, like,
(05:55):
what what is that the injury took a month to
kick in? Was he using some slow release adville that
you gotta wait a month? And then he kind of wears, all,
are we supposed to believe the fracture It had a
thirty day activation window and then all of a sudden,
after thirty days, Ah, my aching on my wrist. He
(06:16):
was absolutely cooking for the cups for a month after
the injury. Then suddenly Kyle Tucker, to quote the late
great Timy Disorda, couldn't hit water if he fell out
of an f and boat. And then he gets benched.
So my response to the Chicago Cups story. Now this
I don't believe this is a cup store. This is
a cup related story. But my response is three words Russia, Russia,
(06:41):
Russia as in Moscow, the Bolshoy ballet, choreographed spin or
as the Great Jay Scoop would say, bull pucky, bullpucky,
straight up bull pucky capital B. You know what this is.
This is the baseball version you know of my dog
(07:01):
ate my homework, right or my WiFi went out and
I accidentally deleted the thing. And yeah, of course in
this case talking about the dog ate my homework. The
dog is a pinky fracture, right or what a wrist
little wrist injury. And the month of August the ops
(07:22):
three eighty one. So he went from nine to thirty
three right after the injury for a month, and then
he's at three eighty one in August and gainst bench
and doesn't hustle dogs it with the cobs. G Man's
just disappointed. You know, Chicago fan Tree in Chicago. By
the way, Tree, you got to reach out to me.
(07:42):
Tree is supposed to be in la He wants to
come by the studio next week. You got to let
me know, Tree so I can give you the details
on that. But anyway, the guys in Chicago, that's a
hearty town. I don't want a guy who's not hitting
and not hustling and all that stuff. The only people
that would buy the story that's out there are Country Bumpkins. Oh,
he's just pressing because of the injury. No, Kyle Tucker's
(08:06):
pressing because he's in a contract year and he's hitting
like a backup catcher to a backup catcher at this
particular point. Now, secondly, I would like to play with
you one of my favorite games. It's a parlor game.
The game is who leaked that Cubs outfielder Kyle Tucker.
(08:27):
The reason he's struggling is because of the hairline fractor.
Who leaked that story? So, as always, you start with
the basics. You got to start with the bedrock, the
building blocks. And there are two questions that have to
be asked when you play the parlor game. The first question,
numero uno, who stands the game? Who stands again? Now
(08:48):
numero dos? Why now? Right? Those are the two questions,
who stands the game and why now? And when you
look under the hood, when you look under the hood
of the car and you check the carburetor. There's only
one answer, Team Kyle Tucker. Ding Ding ding ding ding bingo.
That is Team Kyle Tucker. This is straight out of
(09:10):
the Baseball spin doctor's handbook. You don't have to be
some kind of high falutin, highly educated out of academia
PhD in sports medicine or something else to figure out
It's clear, as I understand the way these stories work,
that Kyle Tucker's camp. I'm not saying it's Kyle Tucker himself,
but somebody that is writing his coat tails, someone that
(09:34):
is making their living off of his efforts. His camp
is standing on the street corner with a bullhorn yelling,
don't blame my guy, blame his bones. It's classic sporty scapegoating.
Nobody does it more than baseball baseball players. Anytime somebody sucks,
if it's a pitcher, it's he's tipping his pitches. If
(09:57):
it's a hitter, he's got some kind of undisclosed injury
that he's trying to play through. It's never that a
guy just all of a sudden blows. It's never that.
It's always either he's hurt or he's tipping something, or
it always works that way. It always works that way.
So the scapegoating is, well, he's not really stinking up
(10:18):
like rotten eggs Wrigley Field because he's washed. He's stinking
it up because he's wounded. That's the story. Yeah, that's
the ticket, that's the sales pitch. You know what this
is like. It's like when you show up late to
Thanksgiving dinner. You don't say, yeah, yeah, I overslept. I'm
sorry a little late. I overslept. No, no, no, you say, well,
(10:40):
the traffic was just brutal. I'm sorry, my dear aunt.
I'm sorry that the traffic was terrible. That's the cover story.
You gotta have a fall, gotta have a fall. Guy. So, yeah,
Kyle Tucker's riding the vomit comet. And we can explain
that because a little cracked, little crack crack, and he
cracked in foundation. And why now, why now he's timing,
(11:05):
my friend, It's always timing. Kyle Tucker got his eyes
right now. His eyes are locked in on the bulls eye.
The bullseye is the ATM machine. Money, many money, make
it rain, make it rain, money, money, money, he's walking.
You realize how much money this man's looking at he's
walking into the bank of Major League Baseball and he's like, hey, listen,
(11:28):
you're the teller. I would like you to hand me
five hundred million. There's chatter he's gonna get six hundred million.
That's a lot of checkers, it's a lot of paysols.
So he's going to market at the end of the year.
And Tucker's agent in my head is like, hey, pay
my man. He's not broken. He's just broken, if you
(11:50):
know what I mean. So you gotta play the PR game.
You gotta play the PR game. You can't let the
narrative be Kyle Tucker is not even thirty years old
and he's playing like a guy named Kyle from accounting.
You can't do that. So you control it. You control it.
You leak the injury out. You have useful idiots called
baseball writers, and you leak the story out, and you just
(12:12):
kind of go with it, and you put the fracture
out there and you put it on trial, and suddenly
Kyle's not garbage anymore. He's just unlucky. He's just unlucky,
and he shouldn't be playing. And oh, you know, out
of an abundance of caution, we should shut him down.
Case clothes, case close. Now, the leak did not come
from the Cubs. Why would the Cubs leak That makes
(12:33):
no sense for them to leak that, right, because they
didn't announce it a month earlier. So why did you
hold that information. It didn't come from some random clubhouse attendant.
I don't believe that. I don't this was orchestrated by
the penthouse suite of the Camp Tucker right. A classic move.
They are classic damage control. And if you don't believe that,
(12:56):
I will I will tell you some of Lake Michigan,
because I lake Michigan. So if you want to buy
some of Lake Michigan, I'll say some of the lake.
All right. Now, final thought, another great story from baseball
this week out of Boston, and several of you were
very upset that I did not address this issue in
the previous episode of the show. A guy from Vermont,
(13:18):
which is far away from Boston, but he said, oh,
listen to your show. I said, I'm the only person
that lives in Vermont. There's three people. There's Arnie Spanier
and Ben and Jerry. That's it. Those are the only
people live in Vermont. Any this guy, you you should
have mentioned it all right. So for those who don't
know the story, manager Alice Cora cheating asstro Alex Cora
(13:42):
is still facing backlash for a decision he made earlier
this week at Finnway Park. So it was the eleventh
inning game the other night. The Red Sox are playing
the lowly Baltimore Orioles, and the Red Sox had a
pinch runner named Nick Eaton. Nick Eaton is the name
(14:02):
and a quick guy, no name baseball player, so he's
on third base, he's on third base. The Red Sox
are trailing Baltimore four to three. They had sacrificed the
runner to third. So there's one out in the inning,
one out, and it's the eleventh inning. You're down by one.
Roman Anthony, the chosen one for the Red Sox. He
(14:23):
comes to the home plate area. He hits a fly
ball that was estimated at two hundred and sixty five feet,
so a routine flyball to center field, perfect type of
flyball for a sack. Fly. Game is going to be tied.
We'll play on to the twelfth inning unless the Red
Sox win it. There not so fast, my friend. You see,
(14:44):
just after the Orioles centerfielder Colton Kowser made the catch
on the pop fly, he unleashed a wild throw that
was completely offline. It was closer to going into the
stands near third base than it was going to home plate.
The throw ended up between third base and home plate
(15:08):
and did eaton the pinch runner? Did nick eaton? Score?
Known for speed now? He returned to the bag after
pump faking that he was gonna score now the next batter,
Another cheating astro Alex Bregman popped up, good afternoon, good evening,
(15:29):
and good night. Game over Baltimore wins. So When peppered
with questions about the clear of mouth feasance on what
he did. Who's to blame for the silly strategy? Do
you blame the runner? Do you blame the third base?
Coach Alex Cora snapped, he said, quote, we prepared before
(15:51):
the series and that's an impact arm talking about Colton Kowser,
and we decided not to challenge him. Quote question Alex
Cora admitting that the Red Sox did not challenge outfielder
Colton Kowser of Baltimore because of his impact arm. Down
(16:14):
by a run in the eleventh inning because of a
scouting report is blank. So I wrote down my word.
We're doing the word association game. My word is emasculating
with the Capitol League. Emasculating with a Capitol League. It's
also humiliating, like the Red Sox manager just admitted to
(16:37):
the world that he is nothing more than just a
middle manager. It's like what Joe Madden, the old Cub
manager said when he was managing the Angels. It's like
all these jobs, you're just a middle manager now and
that's all. You're just doing what the nerds want. And
so Cora admitted it. He said the game was essentially
decided before the series started, that there's no feel of
(17:02):
the game. Have a hunch, bet a bunch, there's no instinct.
There's no competition. For one hundred and fifty years, baseball
sold competition. Now it's the three ring binder. It says
don't run, you don't run, period hard stop. It says
(17:22):
we don't run. Poindexter said we shouldn't do it. The
algorithm said we shouldn't do it. We shouldn't do it.
And what does that make Alex Cora? That makes Alex
kra a trained circus seal. That's what he is just
imagine Alex with a little hat on his head and
a red ball on his nose. Clap clap, clap, clap,
clap clap, here's your fish. And this is what drives
(17:46):
me nuts. And I know that this is just small potatoes.
It's a regular season game in August, and my main
rage will come when the big October baseball game start
to me. It goes against the ethos of what this
is supposed to be. Whatever you think this is supposed
to be, that is not it, right, the whole spirit
(18:07):
of sport athletic competition to test the boundaries of the
human body. And he said, well, that's too dramatic, and
maybe it is, but at least make the other guy
make a play. Now again, I'm getting old or just
an old head. But that's the way I fell in
love with sports, testing whether or not you could get
(18:28):
it done when the pressure was immense, right and there
was a lot on the line to test the other team.
It's one of the reasons that I love the old
school way of putting the ball in play, making the
defensive player make a play. Force competition that goes against
that belief. Forcing competition goes against everything that these people
(18:53):
they stand for instead, like the Red Sox are a
great example. They had a moment where they could have
tested a guy who has a really highly rated arm
and impact arm, as Alex Corse said fifteen times, I
could have tested it. The Red Sox punted. The moment
was too big. They weren't ready for the moment because
the simulation told them, don't do it. The simulation said
(19:17):
don't do it now. Ac Cording to simulation, this guy,
Colton Kowser would have thrown a perfect bullet right the
home plate and that would have been it. Instead, the
ball went sailing all right, sail away, sail away. That's it.
And these people have been indoctrinated to the point that
(19:40):
they believe their own bull crap. They believe that there's
only one way to do this, and they're doing it
the right way. And that's where the analytics has a
hairline fracture, like Kyle Tucker wink wink nod nod of
the Cups hairline fracture there, and nobody wants to talk
(20:01):
about it. We'll have that conversation if you want, but
nobody won't really in the game, they don't want to
talk about it. It's called the clutch factor. According to
the analytics, it doesn't exist that and a bat in
the first inning is the same as in a bat
in the ninth inning with two outs and two runners
on down by a run or in this case, a
(20:21):
fly ball, you're playing the outfield you have to make
a throw is the same in the ninth inning as
it is in the second. An it's not dummy, it's
not you morons. But yet this continues, and it's only
gonna get worse and worse because there's no other way
to do it. There's only one way to do it,
and you got to do it this way. If you
(20:41):
don't do this way, you're dummy, and we'll kick you
out of baseball. And that's it. You're done, right, And
so you eliminate whether or not someone can choke because
you don't put them in a position to choke. You know,
I go back to the World Series last year. The
Yankees choked the World Series away. They did, and the
only reason they did that is because the Dodgers put
(21:03):
the ball in play and forced them to make defensive places.
But it wasn't by some kind of analytical design. It
was the fifth inning and they were futzing around Aaron Judge,
and you know the other Yankees, Garrett Garrett Cole not
covering first base. We go through Volpi butchering a ball
at shortstop. But the analytics would be like, ah, those
(21:24):
guys are good players, they'll be fine. Volpi was a
Gold Globe winner, and you got the highest paid pitcher,
you got Aaron Judge of the MVP. And they all
left up every one of them, left up right, every
one of them. And so you don't know what you
don't know unless you try. And yet the Red Sox
are like they didn't try because Alice Cora has been programmed.
(21:47):
That's that's the programming, right. And my favorite part is
Cora is so obtuse that he doesn't even realize what
he's admitted. He goes up there all cocky postgame and
he probably tells the world you and I that listen,
I managed the Boston Red Sox and I am irrelevant. Yeah.
(22:11):
I just follow my orders. That's all I do. But
good for you, Alex, congratulations. You're not a manager, because
a manager would go up make their own decisions. You're
just like a pr guy. And you clap a little
bit in the dugout. You got your computer program and
all that stuff. So why exactly are you one of
the highest paid managers in baseball? Like, couldn't you get
(22:35):
I don't know, Blind Scott or somebody or Mike the
Leprechaun to manage the Red Sox if that's JD and Boston,
one of those guys Mike in New Hampshire could manage
the Red Sox. And for media relations, I guess that
because he's kind of cool. The writers like him, and
I imagine he'll likely feed them a lot of stuff
off the record. But my god, a smile waved to
(22:56):
the camera. He's like a character actor or a bad
movie lines. You hit your mark, you know, don't you
dare improvise? Do not improvise. That's not really preparation. It's
like it's just a cowardly way to play baseball. All right,
I've gone way too long. I just had to get
that off my chest. It is The Ben Maler Show

one of the pitchers was blank, and he believed it
for a month. Again. Former Braves outfielder Jeff frank Corey
was in the minor leagues years ago. His teammates convinced him.
All of them convinced him that one of their pitchers
was blank, and he believed that for It's the Mallor
(24:01):
riddle of the day. The answer next.

He needed to subscribe to the Ben Mallor Show YouTube channel.
Do us a solid You can say hello on X
at Ben Mallor. You can answer the Riddle of the
Day at Ben Mallard. Also the rain a FSR Tech
Queen and Cooper Loop at a Bronco. Here's the malor
(26:01):
Riddle of the day. When former Braves outfielder Jeff Francre
was in the minor leagues number of years ago, his
teammates all convinced him that one of their pitchers was
blank and he believed it for a month. All right,
that is the question. I'm a little scared to see
what the answers are because I gotta tell you, I
(26:22):
have a feeling that most of these answers I will
not be able to read on the air, but I
will be somewhat optimistic that a few of them will
make the air. Andy from Lionel Lakes, Minnesota, he's honoring
Angry Bill. He says the players convinced Jeff frank Kerr
that one of their teammates was a nine year old girl. Yeah, Scrooge,
(26:46):
says black Zilla. Who else do we have? An alien
from the planet Vulcan from ferg Dog he was a
sailor guardian from King Rory. Who else we have Mantai
Teo's dead girlfriends first husband? All right? That was from
Mallard prop guy, very funny. A big box store worker
(27:07):
overnight from clam an alien guessed by alf the Alien
ol Piner. Who else do we are? I see, I
see JT. The wing Man's out there. He's not gonna
be able to make the meet and greet though on Saturday?
Who else up page down inca terrorist says the real
Captain Kangaroo is the answer? Who else? Fudgi says a
(27:29):
Mallard Riddle. Answer is an alien? So he went with
alien as well. Eke in Roseville, Minnesota going with an
Abe Lincoln. He convinced him he was Abe Lincoln. Freddy
Krueger from Ozzie Waz in Western Australia. JT. The wing
Man's answer was the legend of bagger Vance. That's the answer.
Who else do we have? A drag queen? Guessed by
(27:51):
Trucker Joe on the Highways and Byways of North America.
Fat Daddy, who's an Angels fan, says that he thought
that the other player was a cross dresser's day. Yeah,
that's about well, he's not. No, that's not. But it
is fat Daddy, So I guess he is the daddy.
I guess fat Daddy. Would that would make him the
daddy because he's fat Daddy, and that that would be
(28:13):
that would make sense. What else do we have this?
See page Dan, we'll skip over that one. Ard enough
of that, Lorraina, do you have an answer? It's the
malar riddle of the day. Former Major league outfielder a
guy named Jeff Francre, mostly known for his days with
the Atlanta Braves. He was in Triple A years ago
and his teammates all convinced him that one of the
pitchers in Triple A was blank and he believed it
(28:34):
for a month.
Speaker 6 (28:35):
Royalty, Ben, they believe royalty Royalty.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
That's a great answer. Part of the Royal family. Is
it royalty? Is that the answer?
Speaker 4 (28:43):
No?
Speaker 1 (28:43):
Uh, the correct answer. Jeff Frankcore, former Major League baseball player,
was convinced that one of his teammates was deaf. Was
hearing impaired for an entire month and he believed it.
What'd you say? Yeah, that's a good that's a good bit.
I like that. That's good. That's what you know. That's
what men do. We bus pulls. I like that. That's
(29:05):
a good story. It's a solid story. Why not? And
I can't hear? I wonder if Frank Korr said anything
around him that he wouldn't have said because he thought
the guy couldn't hear. Because that's the group we're allowed to.
You know, you might say something you would not say
if you thought the person could hear you. And I
can do that whole thing. The other thing is like
when he was pitching, like Frank core, I guess he's
(29:27):
in the outfield, so he didn't really matter if you
wouldn't you see people talking to him and he's if
he's deaf, like like you say, well, he's really good
at reading lips. He's a really good lip reader. Yeah.
So I have a prediction I would like to make.
I mentioned that anytime a baseball player does not do well,
they claim he's either tipping his pitches. If he's a
(29:49):
pitcher or he's a hitter, they say it's hurt. I'm
gonna predict that the Dodgers. The next couple of days,
the story comes out that Shohel Tani is dealing with
set back. There's some kind of thing of a jig
or watch a mccollet that's not that good. I watched
Otani pitch in Denver against the worst team in Major
(30:10):
League Baseball, and someone named Hunter Goodman lit him up.
Goodman had a big day at three hits, three RBIs
somebody named Tanner Gordon opposed the highest paid player for
the Dodgers and one of the highest paid players of
all time. Otani and gave up one run in six
innings that great Dodger lineup and O'tani got bumped his
(30:33):
first start at Coors Field to give up five earned
runs in four innings. Five earned runs in four innings.
I feel bad for all those sports writers that you know,
they had their their pants down for they were so
excited when Otani came back to pitch. He allowed nine
hits that tied a career high the raigning National Lyue
MVP as a hitter he got He also got hit
(30:56):
with a line drive on the I think got him
in the leg the thigh area, and uh so there
you go. That's uh Dave Roberts after the game was
was pretty positive. Dodger's gonna play the podres this weekend
in San Diego. Let's go to the phones and we'll
say hello to Mike the Leprecaun. Hello, Mike the Leprechaun.
(31:18):

All right, Ben, We're gonna start with a good one
from Lady Sideburns.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Hi, Lady Sideburns. One of my favorite of all the
women that have sideburns, Lady Sideburns is my favorite.
Speaker 5 (33:46):
I don't think that we have ever been asked this before.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
Okay, a new question. We always get the same questions,
but this is a new question. Original question, sided.
Speaker 5 (33:55):
Crew, Which foot do you put your shoe on first?
Speaker 1 (34:01):
So when it comes to this, I'm ambidexterous. I am Okay.
Some days I do the right foot, some days I
do the left foot. It's not the same every day.
It's not there's no rhyme or reason to it. It's
some days I go right, some days I go to
the left. That's Lorena gosh, this is a very difficult question.
Speaker 6 (34:24):
It's got to be the right foot first, because I
just put my foot directly in the shoe. I don't
even like bend down anymore. I just put the foot
is a you know, it would be my right foot first?
Then really really yeah, because I put my right foot
over my left leg.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
Interesting, okay, cool, I am the opposite. See.
Speaker 5 (34:42):
I initially when I read the question, I was like, oh,
I think I do both, And then I sat and
thought about it, and it is my left foot every
single time. That's the first one.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
Okay. Yeah, No, I'm more advanced. I can do the
right or the left. You know, it's more open minded.
Then you are cool. So that's it. But I, uh,
what is next year's ask? Ben? Your questions are answers
for the rest of the hour.
Speaker 5 (35:07):
All right, let's see we're gonna go with uh. This
one is dangerous.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
A JT the Wingman, Hi JT. I met him at
Many Malla Meet Grease. JT is a big fan of show.
I met him in South Carolina. He was in Vegas
last year. He's been all over the place.
Speaker 5 (35:23):
He says, what is your favorite guilty pleasure in Las Vegas?
Speaker 1 (35:29):
You know, I just love walking. I don't know it's
a guilty pleasure. I love walking around Fremont Street. It's
like a human zoo. They don't charge for it, and uh,
and just walking around and seeing all the characters around
Vegas and all that stuff. So I don't know, that's
really a guilty pleasure. And I gamble, obviously, I've bet
on sports and stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (35:46):
But I I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (35:48):
I guess I'm boring. I don't really nothing, I really
really do. That's tad. But what about you, well, Lorena,
I don't know if you talk about it, hold on
year all right? Here we go here? Oh gosh.
Speaker 6 (36:01):
I love getting super fancy and then making sure everyone's
staring as I walk around. And I love drinking the
most egregious martinis in the nicest dresses.
Speaker 1 (36:10):
That's what I like, Dodd, Okay, you like? Are you
one of those people that gets the glass that's down
to your your ankle?
Speaker 6 (36:16):
You know those will make you puke?
Speaker 5 (36:17):
Don't drink those?
Speaker 1 (36:19):
Why will they make you pukee.
Speaker 6 (36:21):
Is they're full of sugar?
Speaker 1 (36:23):
Oh okay, my friend, those are all over the place.
Speaker 6 (36:25):
Man, Yeah, they're so bad.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
All right?
Speaker 5 (36:28):
Cool, What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
Oh, speakeasy swingers club, you're going to all right, what's
next year? What do we got?
Speaker 7 (36:40):
Coop?
Speaker 1 (36:40):
Where we got?
Speaker 2 (36:40):
Here?
Speaker 5 (36:40):
We go this question from fur dog?
Speaker 1 (36:43):
Hi, Fergie, would you.
Speaker 5 (36:46):
Rather only be able to scream or whisper when you talk?
I mean the time, no normal voice? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (36:55):
Like both would both would suck. I guess I go screaming.
I don't talk much if I if I had that,
I wouldn't talk much. But you scream. I want people
to hear you, so I'll go scream. What about you? Lorainer?
Speaker 5 (37:09):
Obviously screaming?
Speaker 7 (37:10):
Yeah, obviously, obviously I was gonna say whisper, But I mean,
you guys both think so adamant about it, it's making
me double guess my my pick.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
If you whisper, you might as well not be able
to talk. You nobody can hear you, So give.
Speaker 5 (37:27):
You every time you scream, Like eventually people will be like,
I don't want to hang out with that guy. It's
very it's very loud and annoying.
Speaker 1 (37:32):
Good. What's next?
Speaker 7 (37:35):
Ye?
Speaker 1 (37:35):
What do we have?
Speaker 5 (37:36):
Alf?
Speaker 1 (37:37):
The alien? O? Piner? Hi? Alf? He would like him
someday I'm gonna meet him. Go ahead, Yes, he would
like to know fries or onion rings?
Speaker 5 (37:43):
And also, isn't it great when you get one of
the other mixed in with your order.
Speaker 1 (37:47):
Yeah, And if I ever end up working in fast
food and a few more bad shows, I probably will.
I'm gonna be the guy that puts extra fries at
the bottom of the bag. That's my move.
Speaker 4 (37:59):
You know.
Speaker 1 (37:59):
I read a one of these marketing books that I
read a while back, and they said that five guys
now five guys gouge as you and I don't go
there anymore because it's too expensive. But they said part
of the original appeal of five guys is they intentionally
overfilled the fries because they knew the customer would it. Boy,
I'm getting a lot, you know, I'm getting I'm getting
more banged from my buck. And it was a little
(38:20):
marketing trick and it worked until they raised the price
of the fry and then people realize, well, I'm getting
a lot, but I ain't going there. But yeah, friser.
I eat many more fries than onion rings. The problem
with onion rings is it's got to be properly fried
and breaded. If it's too big, the onion ring and
there's too much just the onion's too big. The onion
(38:42):
to breading ratios got to be right, and very few
places do it right. So I'll go potato, I'll go,
I'll go the fry. Lorena.
Speaker 6 (38:49):
Oh, I love a good onion ring.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
Well, I don't get me wrong. I love a good un.
Speaker 6 (38:54):
Ring because like a dec you know what I'm saying,
like frieser and everyday thing.
Speaker 1 (38:57):
But no, but I don't want to, Nancy, I don't
want to eat an onion ring. That's the size of
a bagel. I don't want really, I have.
Speaker 6 (39:05):
To like bite in one side and then go around like.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
Yeah, yeah, no, the onion is too big. That is
bad onions ratio etiquette. No, go onion ring cool?
Speaker 5 (39:19):
Now see, I think the onion ring is is a treat.
I like it, like lorraina, I don't know that I
could every time get onion rings. Fries are more of
an everyday thing for sure, but a bomb onion ring
completely trumps like bomb fries.
Speaker 1 (39:38):
However, though the potato you get everything out of the potato,
you get the fry, but you get potato wedges out
of the potato, you get the crinkle cut. Those are
considered fries as well. So like the onion ring, Yeah,
there's thick onion rings and there's thin on your rings,
but there's only a couple of different ways to make
on your ring. The potato, though, you can even drink
the potato and make it alcohol. So it's you go
(40:00):
with the potato. All right, what's next?
Speaker 5 (40:02):
The King Rory would like to know. Have you ever
bought a product off the TV?
Speaker 1 (40:07):
Oh? God, yeah, Well, I'm of the age like before
before the internet. Back in my day, I loved late
night infomercials. Me and my brother bought this car wax
because the guy lit the car on fire with the
wax and we thought, oh man, we got we got
to beat, you know, our grandpa's car where we'll light
it on fire. And so we bought some car wax,
(40:28):
and I bought a couple of other things off those infomercials.
But yeah, I bought uh, probably less than five, but
more than two Lorena, shockingly.
Speaker 6 (40:39):
No, I know my grandma.
Speaker 1 (40:40):
Did you know?
Speaker 6 (40:41):
It's an old person thing, not not so much of
me thing.
Speaker 1 (40:44):
Well, thank you, Lorena, I appreciate that. Coop. We'll go
ahead there.
Speaker 5 (40:46):
Cool. Yes, I have like a magic role dude back
in the day.
Speaker 1 (40:51):
Yeah, you're an old person.
Speaker 5 (40:52):
Magic at home. We'll start to do this real quick,
what is your favorite commercial jingle?
Speaker 1 (40:58):
Oscar Mayer go ahead.
Speaker 6 (41:00):
That's from Rob the Goadman one eight hundred five eight
eight two three.
Speaker 1 (41:05):
Today what about cars for kids? Yeah, that's that's a
good one too. Won't get eleven
Playball, It's our number three, Talking Bay's Ball, It's our
number three The Ben Mather Show. We got the Big
Mother Meet and Greek coming up this weekend in Vegas.
Hopefully you can make it. Details on the social media.
I will not bore you with those details right now,
but we'll be at a cool bar near UNLV from
three o'clock till five o'clock. But here in our number three,
(00:24):
do you believe the Cubs outfielder Kyle Tucker's slump is
directly related to a hand injury which all of a
sudden popped up out of out of the sky. We'll
talk about that. Also, also talking baseball this hour, who
leaked that Cubs right fielder Kyle Tucker's struggles were because
(00:45):
of a hairline fracture in his hand. We'll talk about that.
And also the most embarrassing moment of the week that
goes to the Boston Red Sox manager Alex Korra. He
said the Red Sox did not challenge the O's outfielder
Coleton Kawser because he has an impact arm, and that
that's because of scouting. That is blank. Red Sox end
(01:07):
up losing that game because they did not challenge that
particular baseball player will go there as well. Right now here,
it is our number three, the crack Cubby, the case
of the Crack Cubby. Welcome in the beginning of another
hour of the Ben Mahler Show. We are in the
(01:29):
air everywhere. That's right. You can't stop us the Malard monarchy,
as we are occasionally lost in the shuffle coast to coast, border,
the border, and beyond on the vast and muscularly powerful
microphones of fs are emminating live from the wittle as
(01:54):
we whittle the overnight hours of darkness down to here
at the Fox Sports Radio Studios, as approved by not
a Burner. Not a Burner approves that message and this
portion of the Ben Mathers Show on Fox, made possible
by our friends at Express Employment Professionals. Is a time
(02:17):
for a new job, then it's time for Express Employment
Professionals with the endless online job search enlist the pros.
That's what mister nice Guy and Ferg Dog and Alf
support and Express never charges job seekers a feed. Go
to expresspros dot com. So our lead this hour is
(02:37):
from sweet home Chicago, where the pizza is good and
the sports are usually pretty mediocre. Now the Cubbies somehow
won again. I was watching this game and came down
to the ninth inning and it was a big defensive
play at the end of the game. There the Cubs
won again. They beat the brew Crew. They've now taken
three in a row over the Milwaukee Brewers. The Brewers
(02:59):
have cooled up and they had all the momentum. Why
would the Brewers lose? They had all the momentum. I
don't understand why the Brewers would lose. They had momentum.
But that's not what we're talking about right now. That's
not the story. The story is the demotion Derby, not
demolition Derby. The demotion Derby and a follow up to
(03:21):
a story we talked about in a previous episode of
the show. If you've not been paying attention, maybe not.
A brand new report, brand new report claiming that Cubs
outfielder right fielder Kyle Tucker, and we talked about this
the other day. Kyle Tucker has been benched for Malfeasan's
(03:41):
at home plate and they say, well, he's just gonna reset,
which is code for he sucks, so he's gonna reset.
He's not playing very well right Nobody He's gonna be fine,
He's gonna be fun. Well, now the story comes out.
The plot thickens that Kyle Tucker was diagnosed in early
June with a hairline fracture in his right hand out
(04:04):
of my aching right hand manager Craig Counsel, who defected
from the Milwaukee Brewers Council, a former Dodger, confirmed the
story by saying that Kyle Tucker's injury, though is fully healed,
fully healed. You wouldn't know that from reading the headlines.
So let us discuss question for the esteem panel. Do
(04:27):
you believe that Cubs outfielder Kyle Tucker's slump is directly
related to his hand injury? So my views on this,
I have Moscow Thanksgiving dinner and trained circus seal, and
we will combine all of these things together and we're
(04:50):
gonna make the Gabba gool. We're gonna make the Gabba
gooul is what we're gonna right. So, first of all,
I gotta tell you that being around baseball for a
long time, much closer back in the day than I am, now,
this is the most predictable story, the most predictable story
(05:10):
you could have imagined. This is a humdinger of a
go to excuse in baseball, or as they said when
President Biden was in the White House there, it's misinformation,
is what it is. Misinformation? Uh Tucker, let me tell
you why this is ridiculous. So Kyle Tucker after the injury,
after the injury, Kyle Tucker went out and batted three
(05:32):
hundred three h two had a nine to thirty three
ops for a full month after he suffered a right
hand fracture. The slump did not start until after he
was bawling for a month. So I asked the question, like,
(05:55):
what what is that the injury took a month to
kick in? Was he using some slow release adville that
you gotta wait a month? And then he kind of wears, all,
are we supposed to believe the fracture It had a
thirty day activation window and then all of a sudden,
after thirty days, Ah, my aching on my wrist. He
(06:16):
was absolutely cooking for the cups for a month after
the injury. Then suddenly Kyle Tucker, to quote the late
great Timy Disorda, couldn't hit water if he fell out
of an f and boat. And then he gets benched.
So my response to the Chicago Cups story. Now this
I don't believe this is a cup store. This is
a cup related story. But my response is three words Russia, Russia,
(06:41):
Russia as in Moscow, the Bolshoy ballet, choreographed spin or
as the Great Jay Scoop would say, bull pucky, bullpucky,
straight up bull pucky capital B. You know what this is.
This is the baseball version you know of my dog
(07:01):
ate my homework, right or my WiFi went out and
I accidentally deleted the thing. And yeah, of course in
this case talking about the dog ate my homework. The
dog is a pinky fracture, right or what a wrist
little wrist injury. And the month of August the ops
(07:22):
three eighty one. So he went from nine to thirty
three right after the injury for a month, and then
he's at three eighty one in August and gainst bench
and doesn't hustle dogs it with the cobs. G Man's
just disappointed. You know, Chicago fan Tree in Chicago. By
the way, Tree, you got to reach out to me.
(07:42):
Tree is supposed to be in la He wants to
come by the studio next week. You got to let
me know, Tree so I can give you the details
on that. But anyway, the guys in Chicago, that's a
hearty town. I don't want a guy who's not hitting
and not hustling and all that stuff. The only people
that would buy the story that's out there are Country Bumpkins. Oh,
he's just pressing because of the injury. No, Kyle Tucker's
(08:06):
pressing because he's in a contract year and he's hitting
like a backup catcher to a backup catcher at this
particular point. Now, secondly, I would like to play with
you one of my favorite games. It's a parlor game.
The game is who leaked that Cubs outfielder Kyle Tucker.
(08:27):
The reason he's struggling is because of the hairline fractor.
Who leaked that story? So, as always, you start with
the basics. You got to start with the bedrock, the
building blocks. And there are two questions that have to
be asked when you play the parlor game. The first question,
numero uno, who stands the game? Who stands again? Now
(08:48):
numero dos? Why now? Right? Those are the two questions,
who stands the game and why now? And when you
look under the hood, when you look under the hood
of the car and you check the carburetor. There's only
one answer, Team Kyle Tucker. Ding Ding ding ding ding bingo.
That is Team Kyle Tucker. This is straight out of
(09:10):
the Baseball spin doctor's handbook. You don't have to be
some kind of high falutin, highly educated out of academia
PhD in sports medicine or something else to figure out
It's clear, as I understand the way these stories work,
that Kyle Tucker's camp. I'm not saying it's Kyle Tucker himself,
but somebody that is writing his coat tails, someone that
(09:34):
is making their living off of his efforts. His camp
is standing on the street corner with a bullhorn yelling,
don't blame my guy, blame his bones. It's classic sporty scapegoating.
Nobody does it more than baseball baseball players. Anytime somebody sucks,
if it's a pitcher, it's he's tipping his pitches. If
(09:57):
it's a hitter, he's got some kind of undisclosed injury
that he's trying to play through. It's never that a
guy just all of a sudden blows. It's never that.
It's always either he's hurt or he's tipping something, or
it always works that way. It always works that way.
So the scapegoating is, well, he's not really stinking up
(10:18):
like rotten eggs Wrigley Field because he's washed. He's stinking
it up because he's wounded. That's the story. Yeah, that's
the ticket, that's the sales pitch. You know what this
is like. It's like when you show up late to
Thanksgiving dinner. You don't say, yeah, yeah, I overslept. I'm
sorry a little late. I overslept. No, no, no, you say, well,
(10:40):
the traffic was just brutal. I'm sorry, my dear aunt.
I'm sorry that the traffic was terrible. That's the cover story.
You gotta have a fall, gotta have a fall. Guy. So, yeah,
Kyle Tucker's riding the vomit comet. And we can explain
that because a little cracked, little crack crack, and he
cracked in foundation. And why now, why now he's timing,
(11:05):
my friend, It's always timing. Kyle Tucker got his eyes
right now. His eyes are locked in on the bulls eye.
The bullseye is the ATM machine. Money, many money, make
it rain, make it rain, money, money, money, he's walking.
You realize how much money this man's looking at he's
walking into the bank of Major League Baseball and he's like, hey, listen,
(11:28):
you're the teller. I would like you to hand me
five hundred million. There's chatter he's gonna get six hundred million.
That's a lot of checkers, it's a lot of paysols.
So he's going to market at the end of the year.
And Tucker's agent in my head is like, hey, pay
my man. He's not broken. He's just broken, if you
(11:50):
know what I mean. So you gotta play the PR game.
You gotta play the PR game. You can't let the
narrative be Kyle Tucker is not even thirty years old
and he's playing like a guy named Kyle from accounting.
You can't do that. So you control it. You control it.
You leak the injury out. You have useful idiots called
baseball writers, and you leak the story out, and you just
(12:12):
kind of go with it, and you put the fracture
out there and you put it on trial, and suddenly
Kyle's not garbage anymore. He's just unlucky. He's just unlucky,
and he shouldn't be playing. And oh, you know, out
of an abundance of caution, we should shut him down.
Case clothes, case close. Now, the leak did not come
from the Cubs. Why would the Cubs leak That makes
(12:33):
no sense for them to leak that, right, because they
didn't announce it a month earlier. So why did you
hold that information. It didn't come from some random clubhouse attendant.
I don't believe that. I don't this was orchestrated by
the penthouse suite of the Camp Tucker right. A classic move.
They are classic damage control. And if you don't believe that,
(12:56):
I will I will tell you some of Lake Michigan,
because I lake Michigan. So if you want to buy
some of Lake Michigan, I'll say some of the lake.
All right. Now, final thought, another great story from baseball
this week out of Boston, and several of you were
very upset that I did not address this issue in
the previous episode of the show. A guy from Vermont,
(13:18):
which is far away from Boston, but he said, oh,
listen to your show. I said, I'm the only person
that lives in Vermont. There's three people. There's Arnie Spanier
and Ben and Jerry. That's it. Those are the only
people live in Vermont. Any this guy, you you should
have mentioned it all right. So for those who don't
know the story, manager Alice Cora cheating asstro Alex Cora
(13:42):
is still facing backlash for a decision he made earlier
this week at Finnway Park. So it was the eleventh
inning game the other night. The Red Sox are playing
the lowly Baltimore Orioles, and the Red Sox had a
pinch runner named Nick Eaton. Nick Eaton is the name
(14:02):
and a quick guy, no name baseball player, so he's
on third base, he's on third base. The Red Sox
are trailing Baltimore four to three. They had sacrificed the
runner to third. So there's one out in the inning,
one out, and it's the eleventh inning. You're down by one.
Roman Anthony, the chosen one for the Red Sox. He
(14:23):
comes to the home plate area. He hits a fly
ball that was estimated at two hundred and sixty five feet,
so a routine flyball to center field, perfect type of
flyball for a sack. Fly. Game is going to be tied.
We'll play on to the twelfth inning unless the Red
Sox win it. There not so fast, my friend. You see,
(14:44):
just after the Orioles centerfielder Colton Kowser made the catch
on the pop fly, he unleashed a wild throw that
was completely offline. It was closer to going into the
stands near third base than it was going to home plate.
The throw ended up between third base and home plate
(15:08):
and did eaton the pinch runner? Did nick eaton? Score?
Known for speed now? He returned to the bag after
pump faking that he was gonna score now the next batter,
Another cheating astro Alex Bregman popped up, good afternoon, good evening,
(15:29):
and good night. Game over Baltimore wins. So When peppered
with questions about the clear of mouth feasance on what
he did. Who's to blame for the silly strategy? Do
you blame the runner? Do you blame the third base?
Coach Alex Cora snapped, he said, quote, we prepared before
(15:51):
the series and that's an impact arm talking about Colton Kowser,
and we decided not to challenge him. Quote question Alex
Cora admitting that the Red Sox did not challenge outfielder
Colton Kowser of Baltimore because of his impact arm. Down
(16:14):
by a run in the eleventh inning because of a
scouting report is blank. So I wrote down my word.
We're doing the word association game. My word is emasculating
with the Capitol League. Emasculating with a Capitol League. It's
also humiliating, like the Red Sox manager just admitted to
(16:37):
the world that he is nothing more than just a
middle manager. It's like what Joe Madden, the old Cub
manager said when he was managing the Angels. It's like
all these jobs, you're just a middle manager now and
that's all. You're just doing what the nerds want. And
so Cora admitted it. He said the game was essentially
decided before the series started, that there's no feel of
(17:02):
the game. Have a hunch, bet a bunch, there's no instinct.
There's no competition. For one hundred and fifty years, baseball
sold competition. Now it's the three ring binder. It says
don't run, you don't run, period hard stop. It says
(17:22):
we don't run. Poindexter said we shouldn't do it. The
algorithm said we shouldn't do it. We shouldn't do it.
And what does that make Alex Cora? That makes Alex
kra a trained circus seal. That's what he is just
imagine Alex with a little hat on his head and
a red ball on his nose. Clap clap, clap, clap,
clap clap, here's your fish. And this is what drives
(17:46):
me nuts. And I know that this is just small potatoes.
It's a regular season game in August, and my main
rage will come when the big October baseball game start
to me. It goes against the ethos of what this
is supposed to be. Whatever you think this is supposed
to be, that is not it, right, the whole spirit
(18:07):
of sport athletic competition to test the boundaries of the
human body. And he said, well, that's too dramatic, and
maybe it is, but at least make the other guy
make a play. Now again, I'm getting old or just
an old head. But that's the way I fell in
love with sports, testing whether or not you could get
(18:28):
it done when the pressure was immense, right and there
was a lot on the line to test the other team.
It's one of the reasons that I love the old
school way of putting the ball in play, making the
defensive player make a play. Force competition that goes against
that belief. Forcing competition goes against everything that these people
(18:53):
they stand for instead, like the Red Sox are a
great example. They had a moment where they could have
tested a guy who has a really highly rated arm
and impact arm, as Alex Corse said fifteen times, I
could have tested it. The Red Sox punted. The moment
was too big. They weren't ready for the moment because
the simulation told them, don't do it. The simulation said
(19:17):
don't do it now. Ac Cording to simulation, this guy,
Colton Kowser would have thrown a perfect bullet right the
home plate and that would have been it. Instead, the
ball went sailing all right, sail away, sail away. That's it.
And these people have been indoctrinated to the point that
(19:40):
they believe their own bull crap. They believe that there's
only one way to do this, and they're doing it
the right way. And that's where the analytics has a
hairline fracture, like Kyle Tucker wink wink nod nod of
the Cups hairline fracture there, and nobody wants to talk
(20:01):
about it. We'll have that conversation if you want, but
nobody won't really in the game, they don't want to
talk about it. It's called the clutch factor. According to
the analytics, it doesn't exist that and a bat in
the first inning is the same as in a bat
in the ninth inning with two outs and two runners
on down by a run or in this case, a
(20:21):
fly ball, you're playing the outfield you have to make
a throw is the same in the ninth inning as
it is in the second. An it's not dummy, it's
not you morons. But yet this continues, and it's only
gonna get worse and worse because there's no other way
to do it. There's only one way to do it,
and you got to do it this way. If you
(20:41):
don't do this way, you're dummy, and we'll kick you
out of baseball. And that's it. You're done, right, And
so you eliminate whether or not someone can choke because
you don't put them in a position to choke. You know,
I go back to the World Series last year. The
Yankees choked the World Series away. They did, and the
only reason they did that is because the Dodgers put
(21:03):
the ball in play and forced them to make defensive places.
But it wasn't by some kind of analytical design. It
was the fifth inning and they were futzing around Aaron Judge,
and you know the other Yankees, Garrett Garrett Cole not
covering first base. We go through Volpi butchering a ball
at shortstop. But the analytics would be like, ah, those
(21:24):
guys are good players, they'll be fine. Volpi was a
Gold Globe winner, and you got the highest paid pitcher,
you got Aaron Judge of the MVP. And they all
left up every one of them, left up right, every
one of them. And so you don't know what you
don't know unless you try. And yet the Red Sox
are like they didn't try because Alice Cora has been programmed.
(21:47):
That's that's the programming, right. And my favorite part is
Cora is so obtuse that he doesn't even realize what
he's admitted. He goes up there all cocky postgame and
he probably tells the world you and I that listen,
I managed the Boston Red Sox and I am irrelevant. Yeah.
(22:11):
I just follow my orders. That's all I do. But
good for you, Alex, congratulations. You're not a manager, because
a manager would go up make their own decisions. You're
just like a pr guy. And you clap a little
bit in the dugout. You got your computer program and
all that stuff. So why exactly are you one of
the highest paid managers in baseball? Like, couldn't you get
(22:35):
I don't know, Blind Scott or somebody or Mike the
Leprechaun to manage the Red Sox if that's JD and Boston,
one of those guys Mike in New Hampshire could manage
the Red Sox. And for media relations, I guess that
because he's kind of cool. The writers like him, and
I imagine he'll likely feed them a lot of stuff
off the record. But my god, a smile waved to
(22:56):
the camera. He's like a character actor or a bad
movie lines. You hit your mark, you know, don't you
dare improvise? Do not improvise. That's not really preparation. It's
like it's just a cowardly way to play baseball. All right,
I've gone way too long. I just had to get
that off my chest. It is The Ben Maler Show

(23:40):

one of the pitchers was blank, and he believed it
for a month. Again. Former Braves outfielder Jeff frank Corey
was in the minor leagues years ago. His teammates convinced him.
All of them convinced him that one of their pitchers
was blank, and he believed that for It's the Mallor
(24:01):
riddle of the day. The answer next.

He needed to subscribe to the Ben Mallor Show YouTube channel.
Do us a solid You can say hello on X
at Ben Mallor. You can answer the Riddle of the
Day at Ben Mallard. Also the rain a FSR Tech
Queen and Cooper Loop at a Bronco. Here's the malor
(26:01):
Riddle of the day. When former Braves outfielder Jeff Francre
was in the minor leagues number of years ago, his
teammates all convinced him that one of their pitchers was
blank and he believed it for a month. All right,
that is the question. I'm a little scared to see
what the answers are because I gotta tell you, I
(26:22):
have a feeling that most of these answers I will
not be able to read on the air, but I
will be somewhat optimistic that a few of them will
make the air. Andy from Lionel Lakes, Minnesota, he's honoring
Angry Bill. He says the players convinced Jeff frank Kerr
that one of their teammates was a nine year old girl. Yeah, Scrooge,
(26:46):
says black Zilla. Who else do we have? An alien
from the planet Vulcan from ferg Dog he was a
sailor guardian from King Rory. Who else we have Mantai
Teo's dead girlfriends first husband? All right? That was from
Mallard prop guy, very funny. A big box store worker
(27:07):
overnight from clam an alien guessed by alf the Alien
ol Piner. Who else do we are? I see, I
see JT. The wing Man's out there. He's not gonna
be able to make the meet and greet though on Saturday?
Who else up page down inca terrorist says the real
Captain Kangaroo is the answer? Who else? Fudgi says a
(27:29):
Mallard Riddle. Answer is an alien? So he went with
alien as well. Eke in Roseville, Minnesota going with an
Abe Lincoln. He convinced him he was Abe Lincoln. Freddy
Krueger from Ozzie Waz in Western Australia. JT. The wing
Man's answer was the legend of bagger Vance. That's the answer.
Who else do we have? A drag queen? Guessed by
(27:51):
Trucker Joe on the Highways and Byways of North America.
Fat Daddy, who's an Angels fan, says that he thought
that the other player was a cross dresser's day. Yeah,
that's about well, he's not. No, that's not. But it
is fat Daddy, So I guess he is the daddy.
I guess fat Daddy. Would that would make him the
daddy because he's fat Daddy, and that that would be
(28:13):
that would make sense. What else do we have this?
See page Dan, we'll skip over that one. Ard enough
of that, Lorraina, do you have an answer? It's the
malar riddle of the day. Former Major league outfielder a
guy named Jeff Francre, mostly known for his days with
the Atlanta Braves. He was in Triple A years ago
and his teammates all convinced him that one of the
pitchers in Triple A was blank and he believed it
(28:34):
for a month.
Speaker 6 (28:35):
Royalty, Ben, they believe royalty Royalty.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
That's a great answer. Part of the Royal family. Is
it royalty? Is that the answer?
Speaker 4 (28:43):
No?
Speaker 1 (28:43):
Uh, the correct answer. Jeff Frankcore, former Major League baseball player,
was convinced that one of his teammates was deaf. Was
hearing impaired for an entire month and he believed it.
What'd you say? Yeah, that's a good that's a good bit.
I like that. That's good. That's what you know. That's
what men do. We bus pulls. I like that. That's
(29:05):
a good story. It's a solid story. Why not? And
I can't hear? I wonder if Frank Korr said anything
around him that he wouldn't have said because he thought
the guy couldn't hear. Because that's the group we're allowed to.
You know, you might say something you would not say
if you thought the person could hear you. And I
can do that whole thing. The other thing is like
when he was pitching, like Frank core, I guess he's
(29:27):
in the outfield, so he didn't really matter if you
wouldn't you see people talking to him and he's if
he's deaf, like like you say, well, he's really good
at reading lips. He's a really good lip reader. Yeah.
So I have a prediction I would like to make.
I mentioned that anytime a baseball player does not do well,
they claim he's either tipping his pitches. If he's a
(29:49):
pitcher or he's a hitter, they say it's hurt. I'm
gonna predict that the Dodgers. The next couple of days,
the story comes out that Shohel Tani is dealing with
set back. There's some kind of thing of a jig
or watch a mccollet that's not that good. I watched
Otani pitch in Denver against the worst team in Major
(30:10):
League Baseball, and someone named Hunter Goodman lit him up.
Goodman had a big day at three hits, three RBIs
somebody named Tanner Gordon opposed the highest paid player for
the Dodgers and one of the highest paid players of
all time. Otani and gave up one run in six
innings that great Dodger lineup and O'tani got bumped his
(30:33):
first start at Coors Field to give up five earned
runs in four innings. Five earned runs in four innings.
I feel bad for all those sports writers that you know,
they had their their pants down for they were so
excited when Otani came back to pitch. He allowed nine
hits that tied a career high the raigning National Lyue
MVP as a hitter he got He also got hit
(30:56):
with a line drive on the I think got him
in the leg the thigh area, and uh so there
you go. That's uh Dave Roberts after the game was
was pretty positive. Dodger's gonna play the podres this weekend
in San Diego. Let's go to the phones and we'll
say hello to Mike the Leprecaun. Hello, Mike the Leprechaun.
(31:18):
Hold on, I'm coming in.

Speaker 5 (33:38):
All right, Ben, We're gonna start with a good one
from Lady Sideburns.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Hi, Lady Sideburns. One of my favorite of all the
women that have sideburns, Lady Sideburns is my favorite.
Speaker 5 (33:46):
I don't think that we have ever been asked this before.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
Okay, a new question. We always get the same questions,
but this is a new question. Original question, sided.
Speaker 5 (33:55):
Crew, Which foot do you put your shoe on first?
Speaker 1 (34:01):
So when it comes to this, I'm ambidexterous. I am Okay.
Some days I do the right foot, some days I
do the left foot. It's not the same every day.
It's not there's no rhyme or reason to it. It's
some days I go right, some days I go to
the left. That's Lorena gosh, this is a very difficult question.
Speaker 6 (34:24):
It's got to be the right foot first, because I
just put my foot directly in the shoe. I don't
even like bend down anymore. I just put the foot
is a you know, it would be my right foot first?
Then really really yeah, because I put my right foot
over my left leg.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
Interesting, okay, cool, I am the opposite. See.
Speaker 5 (34:42):
I initially when I read the question, I was like, oh,
I think I do both, And then I sat and
thought about it, and it is my left foot every
single time. That's the first one.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
Okay. Yeah, No, I'm more advanced. I can do the
right or the left. You know, it's more open minded.
Then you are cool. So that's it. But I, uh,
what is next year's ask? Ben? Your questions are answers
for the rest of the hour.
Speaker 5 (35:07):
All right, let's see we're gonna go with uh. This
one is dangerous.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
A JT the Wingman, Hi JT. I met him at
Many Malla Meet Grease. JT is a big fan of show.
I met him in South Carolina. He was in Vegas
last year. He's been all over the place.
Speaker 5 (35:23):
He says, what is your favorite guilty pleasure in Las Vegas?
Speaker 1 (35:29):
You know, I just love walking. I don't know it's
a guilty pleasure. I love walking around Fremont Street. It's
like a human zoo. They don't charge for it, and uh,
and just walking around and seeing all the characters around
Vegas and all that stuff. So I don't know, that's
really a guilty pleasure. And I gamble, obviously, I've bet
on sports and stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (35:46):
But I I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (35:48):
I guess I'm boring. I don't really nothing, I really
really do. That's tad. But what about you, well, Lorena,
I don't know if you talk about it, hold on
year all right? Here we go here? Oh gosh.
Speaker 6 (36:01):
I love getting super fancy and then making sure everyone's
staring as I walk around. And I love drinking the
most egregious martinis in the nicest dresses.
Speaker 1 (36:10):
That's what I like, Dodd, Okay, you like? Are you
one of those people that gets the glass that's down
to your your ankle?
Speaker 6 (36:16):
You know those will make you puke?
Speaker 5 (36:17):
Don't drink those?
Speaker 1 (36:19):
Why will they make you pukee.
Speaker 6 (36:21):
Is they're full of sugar?
Speaker 1 (36:23):
Oh okay, my friend, those are all over the place.
Speaker 6 (36:25):
Man, Yeah, they're so bad.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
All right?
Speaker 5 (36:28):
Cool, What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
Oh, speakeasy swingers club, you're going to all right, what's
next year? What do we got?
Speaker 7 (36:40):
Coop?
Speaker 1 (36:40):
Where we got?
Speaker 2 (36:40):
Here?
Speaker 5 (36:40):
We go this question from fur dog?
Speaker 1 (36:43):
Hi, Fergie, would you.
Speaker 5 (36:46):
Rather only be able to scream or whisper when you talk?
I mean the time, no normal voice? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (36:55):
Like both would both would suck. I guess I go screaming.
I don't talk much if I if I had that,
I wouldn't talk much. But you scream. I want people
to hear you, so I'll go scream. What about you? Lorainer?
Speaker 5 (37:09):
Obviously screaming?
Speaker 7 (37:10):
Yeah, obviously, obviously I was gonna say whisper, But I mean,
you guys both think so adamant about it, it's making
me double guess my my pick.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
If you whisper, you might as well not be able
to talk. You nobody can hear you, So give.
Speaker 5 (37:27):
You every time you scream, Like eventually people will be like,
I don't want to hang out with that guy. It's
very it's very loud and annoying.
Speaker 1 (37:32):
Good. What's next?
Speaker 7 (37:35):
Ye?
Speaker 1 (37:35):
What do we have?
Speaker 5 (37:36):
Alf?
Speaker 1 (37:37):
The alien? O? Piner? Hi? Alf? He would like him
someday I'm gonna meet him. Go ahead, Yes, he would
like to know fries or onion rings?
Speaker 5 (37:43):
And also, isn't it great when you get one of
the other mixed in with your order.
Speaker 1 (37:47):
Yeah, And if I ever end up working in fast
food and a few more bad shows, I probably will.
I'm gonna be the guy that puts extra fries at
the bottom of the bag. That's my move.
Speaker 4 (37:59):
You know.
Speaker 1 (37:59):
I read a one of these marketing books that I
read a while back, and they said that five guys
now five guys gouge as you and I don't go
there anymore because it's too expensive. But they said part
of the original appeal of five guys is they intentionally
overfilled the fries because they knew the customer would it. Boy,
I'm getting a lot, you know, I'm getting I'm getting
more banged from my buck. And it was a little
(38:20):
marketing trick and it worked until they raised the price
of the fry and then people realize, well, I'm getting
a lot, but I ain't going there. But yeah, friser.
I eat many more fries than onion rings. The problem
with onion rings is it's got to be properly fried
and breaded. If it's too big, the onion ring and
there's too much just the onion's too big. The onion
(38:42):
to breading ratios got to be right, and very few
places do it right. So I'll go potato, I'll go,
I'll go the fry. Lorena.
Speaker 6 (38:49):
Oh, I love a good onion ring.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
Well, I don't get me wrong. I love a good un.
Speaker 6 (38:54):
Ring because like a dec you know what I'm saying,
like frieser and everyday thing.
Speaker 1 (38:57):
But no, but I don't want to, Nancy, I don't
want to eat an onion ring. That's the size of
a bagel. I don't want really, I have.
Speaker 6 (39:05):
To like bite in one side and then go around like.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
Yeah, yeah, no, the onion is too big. That is
bad onions ratio etiquette. No, go onion ring cool?
Speaker 5 (39:19):
Now see, I think the onion ring is is a treat.
I like it, like lorraina, I don't know that I
could every time get onion rings. Fries are more of
an everyday thing for sure, but a bomb onion ring
completely trumps like bomb fries.
Speaker 1 (39:38):
However, though the potato you get everything out of the potato,
you get the fry, but you get potato wedges out
of the potato, you get the crinkle cut. Those are
considered fries as well. So like the onion ring, Yeah,
there's thick onion rings and there's thin on your rings,
but there's only a couple of different ways to make
