Speaker 1 (00:00):
Knock, knock, who's there. It's our birth three. Our number
three is ready for you. On this twenty ninth day
of May Talk and Bays Bowl with the New York
Metropolitans and manager Carlos Mendoza has announced that despite Juan
(00:21):
Soto sucking at a time you cannot suck, he passes
the eye test.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Yeah, that's the quote. He passes the eye test. How
does that play with the base of met fans? We'll
discuss that. Also.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
How did Tim Anderson go from a batting champ with
the White Sox to getting a pink slip from the
Angels He was fired. Gunner Henderson, the kid from Alabama
playing shortstop for the Oriols, apparently has turned down a
long term extension from Baltimore.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
You believe this? Can you believe he would turn that down?
Speaker 1 (00:55):
We'll talk about that and more right now as we
make waves and our number three, the not so amazing amazing,
Say what Welcome in the beginning of another hour of
the Ben Malar Show. We are in the air everywhere,
(01:18):
key collaborators, as we are off road, driving coast to coast,

powerful microphones of FSR AM modinating live from the blanket,

lead this hour is from Baseball and I am a sucker.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
I am a total sucker for a good story.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
And this has all the ingredients, all the ingredients of
good talk radio. You've got big money, big name, and
crap performance.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
That's all you need. So our lead this hour is
from Flushing in Queens. It's appropriate.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Well, you talk about a team getting short changed to
here right now, so it is time for our obligatory
Mallard monologue on one Soto. Consider this a wellness check
on one Soto. How are things going for the Mets
right now?
Speaker 2 (02:54):
With one Soto?
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Don't ask, do not ask, you're not gonna want the answer.
So Juan Soto went hitless again. He failed to get
the ball out of the infield. The Mets did the unthinkable,
the unimaginable. They lost to the Chicago White Sox. Say
it ain't so the lowly White Sox. So after signing
a seven hundred and sixty five million dollar contract, you
(03:20):
talk about rolling out the welcome wagon that was back
in December as a free agent. Juan Soto is batting
close to the Mendoza line. He's hitting two twenty four
this season, has just eight home runs twenty five runs
batted in in fifty five games for the Mets. There's
been a lot of turbulence, a lot of turbulence with
(03:42):
Juan Soto.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
As a Met, as you might imagine. So that leads
us to this.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
The New York Mets manager Carlos Mendoza, he was asked
about his player not doing very well and lobbing the
bat through the zone, not making much contact, and Carlos
Mendoza expressed confidence. He said he's got faith in Juan Soto,
saying here's the money quote that Juan Soto passes the
(04:12):
eye test. Despite the stats being of somebody that you
signed out of the Korean Baseball League or the Mexican League.
It doesn't matter. The managers like, oh yeah, we're good.
That's the money quote. So let us discuss the question.
New York Metropolitan manager Carlos Mendoza announced that one Soto
(04:33):
quote passes the eye test. That's the quote. So how
does that play with the base? How does that play
with the base. So I've got Mark Twain, Buckeye and
the gatekeeper, and we will combine all of these things
together and we'll be We'll be floating on air. We're
(04:53):
literally floating on air. When you do talk radio, you're
floating on air as the voice goes everywhere. And that's
how it is.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
So my first thought on this is that we have
looked at the eye test.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
We've examined the eye test, and we've determined that Juan
Soto is color blind. At this point, Carlos Mendoza does
not believe the gibberish that he passes the eye test.
If you recall about ten days ago, the Mets manager
Mets manager Carlos Mendoza called out the lack of hustle,
(05:27):
the lack of effort by Juan Soto, And here we
are a few days later, and all of a sudden,
I passes the eye test. Well, we know the color
blind nature. He does see the color green. Other than that,
everything's kind of just there. And you are what your
record says you are. His body of work with the
Mets is ghastly. It is ghastly. How bad is it?
(05:50):
Juan Soto's batting average is doing the limbo? How low
can you go? He is sixty one points below his
career mark entering the season. The argument on one Soto
was he's full proof no matter what. He might not
play great defense, and maybe he won't hustle, but he'll
always hit. He can get out of bed and he'll
(06:11):
get a base hit or two for you every game.
And he hasn't homerd since May ninth. Today is May
twenty ninth, so he's been twenty days since he hit
home run. That is a span of seventy five played appearances.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Which I'm told is not good. I'm told it's not good.
And but wait, there's more.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
He has just seven hits in his last fifty nine
at bats. That is a robust one nineteen batting average.
It's okay, though he passes the old eye test. He's
also driving the struggle bus at this point.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
So there you go.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
And that's that's where you go with what you go
with the eye test. You say, hey, I believe in
the eye test. When the numbers are ugally with a
capitol of you, you fall back on the eye test.
Who can argue with the eye test. It's your opinion,
it's the eye test. You just look at the baseball
(07:08):
reference page. You say, eh, looks good to me. Yeah,
looks good to me. My eyes say good. Player to
quote Mark Twain, denial ain't just a river in Egypt.
And we know the Mets manager does not believe it.
You want more numbers, how about this with runners in
scoring position, the seven hundred and sixty five million dollar
(07:28):
bust Juan Sota this point, he's a bus batting a
buck thirty, batting one thirty forty six at Tamps, six
hits with one home.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Run and sixteen runs. Bat at him.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Terrible, terrible, terrible turble. Now again, trust your eyes. You
know why I trust blind Emmett blind, I trust him
in could terror blind Scott. They know the eye test
bull crap, they know it. Now speaking a bull crap,
what a story you talk about swimming against the current
(08:03):
in Anaheim the high Speed Sports Wire, the Angels.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Have said Nana na da.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Goodbye. They have said goodbye to shortstop Tim Anderson. Yes,
that is the same Tim Anderson that made sports talk
radio headlines years ago. So Tim Anderson was brought in
on a make good contract and he didn't make good.
Part of a flurry of roster moves by Ron Washington's Halos,
(08:37):
the two time White Sox All Star has been designated
for assignment, a polite way of saying.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
He's a fallen Angel. So the question.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
How did Tim Anderson go from a batting champ in
the American League.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
To getting a nice, big pink slip from the Angels.
And it's only been a couple of years.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
And if you look at the resume of Anderson, he
might have to contact express pros. He has been dumped
by the Marlins and the Halos in recent years. Okay, yeah,
And when teams like that that aren't even trying to win,
say ah, we're good, man, we don't need you.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
We're good. What more do you need? You've reached bedrock.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
You are laying on bedrock now, Tim Anderson is the
first Major League baseball player that I can think of,
at least in modern times. Tim Anderson to have his
career literally knocked out. Remember hearing stories of George Foreman,
who was this undefeated boxer until he took on Muhammad
(09:46):
Ali in what became known as the Rope a Dope
of Muhammad Ali.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Eight rounds, a knockout in.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
The rumble in the Jungle, and George Foreman was never
the same. He retired for a number of years. He
didn't come back and fight again years later. He was
never the same though. After the ropidobe situation. For Tim Anderson,
it was the buck Guy beat down, Buck Guy beat down.
On a random night in August of twenty twenty three,
(10:19):
on a random night in Cleveland, Ohio, Jose Ramirez of
the team formerly known as the Indians connect right there
to the moneymaker of Tim Anderson, right to the jaw,
right there wild haymaker at second base, and that set
Tim Anderson on his back. Down gos Anderson, down goes Anderson,
(10:44):
and he's never recovered. He is never recovered from the
Rust Belt Rumble. It hasn't happened. Tim Anderson batting a
putred two twenty three, so he's actually not that far
behind the aforementioned.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Who we told you earlier on here.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Juan Soto with the New York Mets is somehow, some
way batting two twenty four, So that's only one point better.
So if you hit two twenty three for the Angels,
you get let go. If you bat two twenty four
with the Mets, you get a seven hundred and sixty
five million dollar contract.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Makes sense logical?
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Uh So, Tim Anderson no home runs twelve doubles total
since the clash on the Kyahoga back in three. And
this is a guy who used to be the definition
of swag.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
He was electric.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
He was electric as a ballplayer, played with emotion, had
the razzle dazzle, all the excitement. And now he's got
no power. He sucks on defense, he's not that fast,
he doesn't walk. There's nothing that he does that's helpful.
And somewhere, and I'm not sure where this is, somewhere,
(11:59):
Josh donald tipped one over in honor of the karma
gods of baseball. You might remember Tim Anderson got very
upset with Josh Donaldson. Very upset got Josh Donaldson suspended
when Donaldson used the nickname the Tim Anderson and given
himself and that led to his suspension. And now Karma's
(12:22):
come back to bite Tim Anderson in the took Us
Final Fuck to Baltimore We Go where Sports with Coleman
hangs out with Baltimore Royalty on his podcast like Mike
Bordick and Jim Palmer and the Orioles are miserable. There
are whispers I thought this was interesting. The Orioles ownership
group sat down, they had a pow wow with Gunner
(12:45):
Henderson and they made him an offer.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
This winter story came out the last couple of days.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
They could not come to an agreement that the offer
was made. He decided this is an offer I can
refuse and said no. Oh, so Gunner Henderson, the pride
and joy of Alabama playing shortstop in Baltimore. That's rarefied
air of a certain age if you remember cal Ripken,
(13:11):
and he has apparently turned down a long term, big
money extension from the Baltimore baseball team.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Do you believe this? Do you believe that's accurate? So
I believe it. I'm gonna vote yes on this.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
And the reason that Gunner Henderson turned down big money.
We're not sure how much money, but it's big money
for the long term. The reason the gatekeeper. The gatekeeper
that is a Scott Boris client. Scott Borris is the agent.
I saw Scott at the Yankee Angel game schmoozing behind
(13:45):
the suitees there behind home plate. Here's the thing, though,
Gunner Henderson, you hire Scott Borris Boris as the gatekeeper.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
He blocks more shots than well Tombo.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Right, you don't hire Scott by us to give a
hometown discount to the team.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
You're playing for. The messaging is rather clear.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
The messaging is, eh, I'm gonna wait until I hit
free agency. Henderson's got some years to go. He's about
to turn twenty four. It is risky business. It is
risky business for several reasons. You could blow out your knee,
you can have a shoulder problem. You play that you
could you could game. There is a regression. Not every
(14:29):
young player continues to ascend up up a way. There
are plenty of young players that peak too soon. The
league adjusts to you and suddenly you're not that great anymore.
Pretty good example of that be a guy like Cody Bellinger,
who won an MVP Award with the Dodgers, and he's
not a bad player, but he's just an average outfielder.
(14:51):
There's nothing really special about Cody Bellinger in terms of offense.
And that's an example, right, that's an example, and also
based on simple in inflation, if you get the money now,
it will be worth more than if you get the
money later because of the way the economics work and
all that, especially with the way the dollar has been
(15:15):
downgraded year after year after year and continues to be downgraded.

Malor riddle of the day. Let's see, does anyone know
the answer? We go to the Great Unwashed and we'll

Speaker 2 (20:40):
That that is the answer. All right, Loraine, do you
have an answer?
Speaker 4 (20:45):
Yes, I think he was caught doing the macarena.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
All right, that is incorrect.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
The correct answer is the Marlins infielder Ronnie Simon was
caught on camera as he was crying on He immediately
made three errors in four innings. Then there are mixed
emotions on this because I was I was told by
Tom Hanks years ago there's no crying in baseball, so
(21:13):
I thought that was the case. You do feel bad
on the human level, like what are you doing, dude?
Speaker 2 (21:17):
This guy's crying?
Speaker 5 (21:19):
Crying not crying.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Baseball is really like nobody and he's trying to make
a name for himself, and he's totally effing up and he.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
Clearly he cares, which is good.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
I've I've always said, like, you make mistakes and stuff,
and I've worked with a lot of people that make mistakes
all the time. I make mistakes all the time. But
as long as you're trying, you put the effort in.
The problem is when you have people that don't care,
that just go through the motions and take no pride
in the work, that's the problem.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
And so this guy cares.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Now I don't know whether he can play or not,
but he cares, and that means something. That absolutely means something.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
It is the Ben Mahlor Show.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
As we are working away through the overnight, we do
have asked Ben coming up in a few minutes.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
Let's get back to the.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Calls and we'll say hello to Eenie Meenie, miney mo.
Let's say hello to Steve in Minnesota.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
What's going on, Steve, Welcome.
Speaker 6 (22:14):
Hey, Ben, the thanks lot. I may have observation or
whatever that on the night that you gave Charlie his nickname,
you were asking him six seven eight nicknames, and including
was the Dallas Dumper, and he turned that down, and
I was just wondering, isn't that rude to give him
a nickname that he didn't want.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
No, no, you're not allowed. The Broke code is you're
not allowed to come up with your own nickname. So
we decided the nickname. We gave him the option. We said, hey,
you can vote for this or that or whatever. But
it ultimately we.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Were the ones that decided the nickname, and we added
the Dallas number. And while you you might remember, initially
Steve Charlie was anti Dallas dumper, he now accepts it.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
He now is okay with it. How about that?
Speaker 6 (23:01):
In Minnesota, we kind of call people who are picking
on kids or whatever a bully, so maybe.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
It'd be sure, how's it picking on kids? If he
calls up every night because he loves the show, how's
that pick?
Speaker 6 (23:12):
Well, you gave him the nickname that he said he
didn't want. You chose the nickname that he said he
didn't want, But now you're saying he loves again.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
I mean, maybe you're not an adult. I don't know.
You know how this works. I'll hang up on you
because you're probably too stupid. Just stay on the phone.
But the way it works is we decide the nickname,
and if you don't like the nickname, you don't call
the show. That's it. It's not that hard. It's very simple.
We come up with a nickname and if you like it, great,
If not, that's the nickname. Jed who Fled is a
great example. Jed had a different nickname and he ran
(23:43):
away like a coward.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
He was supposed to do the event with with real talk,
We're gonna do the Octagon, and he fled. He was
nowhere to be seen, and we gave him the nickname
Jed who Fled. I don't think he likes the nickname,
but that's his nickname, and that's the way it works. Oh,
here's a blast in the past. Let's say hello to
blind Sea Bass, who's next on the Ben Maliser. We've
(24:07):
not heard from blind Sea Bass in many, many years. Hello,
blind Sea Bass.
Speaker 7 (24:11):
Benjamin, my brother, how are you doing? My man?
Speaker 2 (24:15):
You're back and you've come out of hiding and here
you are.
Speaker 7 (24:19):
Yeah. This past couple of semesters have been a real
kicking the kotukis and it's taken a lot out of me.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Okay, well, I'm glad you're back. I'm happy.
Speaker 7 (24:29):
Yeah, brother, I just like I said, I ain't called
in the wall here, you know, check in you all
help update that you know, still alive and kick in but.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Barely so barely you sound Do you sound okay? Are
you taking care of your medical stuff here? You dealing
with your problems? You're getting a little better?
Speaker 7 (24:44):
No, Yeah, condisordered. Kidneys drop to thirty percent back in February.
And yeah, I had to change quite a bit of
eating and drinking habits and everything.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Yeah, that's better to be aware of it rather than
not change anything. And then you're the outcomes, not what
you're looking for.
Speaker 7 (25:04):
Right exactly?
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Yeah, all right, And I thought I thought we'd hear
from you when the Titans had the worst record, they
got the number one pick and drafted cam Ward and
then you were nowhere to be seen.
Speaker 7 (25:17):
Dude, I was. I was so unhappy with that pick.
I did not want cam Ward. I think they should
have just wrote it out for with Levis for one
more year and got the better pick for me, the
number one again next year, with a better draft, better
crop with quarterbacks coming out.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
You're saying, you're saying the famous blind Sea best. What
you're saying is they should have copied the Carolina Panthers
or no, the Chicago Bears. Because the Bears had their
more pick, they traded to Carolina and then they got
the number one pick from Carolina. But back to back years,
so they should have created the Probably nobody wanted cam Ward,
(25:55):
that's the problem. Like there's no one that was dying
to get cam Ward.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Otherwise they would have traded Yeah, I know.
Speaker 7 (26:02):
Like I said, Unfortunately, they should have traded back. I
think they should have traded back, picked up more draft picks,
and then got that number one again.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
I got you, I got you. All right. Well, listen,
I'm glad you're alive. That's number one. I'm happy you're alive.
Number two. Check in anytime you want. We're here every night.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
All right, So come by, say hello, and don't be
a stranger. Okay, take care of your die too. Don't
be a loser, take care of yourself.
Speaker 7 (26:24):
Okay, yeah, all right, brother, Hey, I always remember, don't
forget to clean the swamp off fighting alligators. You'll have
a good one feast.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
There is some great advice from blind Sea Bass and Tennessee.
Let's say hello to Hunter, who's in North Carolina. What's
going on Hunter Welcome.
Speaker 8 (26:43):
Hey man, I just wanted to wish you guys a
good trip. You sound on all of you sound super excited,
and I'm excited for you. If I wanted to propose
another number two drop maybe to compete with.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
So you believe you can do a better number two
that sounds.
Speaker 8 (27:09):
I mean, I mean his is good. Yeah, I've always
wanted to get in there. But number four is locked up.
Number three seems to be pretty secure. Number one is
never going anywhere.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
What about a number five? What about a number five?
If I use the number five, we can't have it.
Speaker 8 (27:26):
Number five a lot. I can do it number five
as well.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
I mean, the only thing I'm worried about is there's
a lot of ambient noise you're driving around, so I'm
a little concerned about that.
Speaker 8 (27:35):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I guess maybe I can get off
the blue tube. But now I'll do it another time
when I'm when I can pull the phone. I am
dropping to work.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Okay, Yeah, call us up when you're able to hold
the phone. And then, because we don't want to record
it because it's gonna sound terrible.
Speaker 8 (27:51):
With all that I can hear that it's not.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Good, all right, there you are fine, I'll let you go.
Thank you for listening.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
This hunter very excited about possibly being number five, not
number one, not the two, not the ones, and the two's,
not the threes, not the fours, not the fives.
Speaker 7 (28:07):
But.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Number five.
Speaker 9 (28:09):
You always pick number five as the winner, Ben, So
it might be a good button to have.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
It could be in another we need. I'd like to
have all the numbers up until.
Speaker 9 (28:20):
Like ninety seven, but nine's good.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Oh, nine would be all right, like you do like one,
because in one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine,
maybe ten, maybe ten. I think after ten, I think
we're good because with one through nine you can combine
if you if you say it's number nineteen, you'd put
the one and then the.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Nine together and then boom, last nineteen. So you're good
on that.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
So all you need I learned this in second grade.
All you need is the one through nine, and then
you've got all the other numbers.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Good to go. You have this. If you have zero,
you have zero in there. Good point. So yeah, all right,
I let's say hello to eeny Meeni, miny moe.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Let's go to t Jo who's in la. We do
have ask Ben your quests, our answers coming up.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
What's going on? Tito, welcome?
Speaker 10 (29:03):
What's going on?
Speaker 8 (29:04):
Band?
Speaker 10 (29:05):
My first my first thought to call, honestly, was because
of that dude talking about that nickname. I just had
to put it out there, a little bro pipe down nickname. Nicknames.
You know. That's ah another story. Don't chip on it,
but it's good man. When y'all going off to Vancouver.
I heard y'all got this little tour going on or whatever.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
Yeah, yeah, big Vancouver weekend at least part of the weekend,
and that'll be today.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
You're gonna drive up there. You should start driving teough.
I don't think you're gonna make it, but we'll.
Speaker 10 (29:35):
Be in if I could get from it later Vancouver
in that amount of time.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
If you hold on and you're I assume you're not
available to leave right now. Right, you can't really leave
right now. Let's see, when would you make it?
Speaker 10 (29:51):
Got me on a plane right now, I'll make it
as soon as possible. Man.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
So if I bought your if I bought your plane,
do you have your passport? You're ready to go? And
all that stuff?
Speaker 1 (29:59):
What says year It would take nineteen hours to drive
from LA to Vancouver. So that means that you would
not make it. I'm sorry, it's twelve hundred and seventy
six miles.
Speaker 10 (30:12):
Maybe in another lifetime or another year, you know, well,
or you if you.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Can Tito, if you can contact like the goblins the
aliens that are out there, you could take a spaceship
up to Vancouver and then you'd be good to go.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
Or you could just fly.
Speaker 10 (30:27):
Oh yeah, that's easier for Ben Maler to say, what's
your connection time?
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, I know all the goblins and
all that.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
Yeah, yeah, for sure. Yeah, lizard people. I'm friends with
lizard people.
Speaker 5 (30:38):
Yeah. Nah.
Speaker 10 (30:40):
But I'm right here really not talking about nothing. I'm
gonna let you go.

you have nothing to say.

And what about you, Lorena, You.
Speaker 9 (32:59):
Got me thinking about a Canadian tuxedo bathing suit, that's
for sure.
Speaker 4 (33:04):
I was thinking, you know, maybe a moose tattoo.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
Yeah, it'd be good to commemorate event. What about you, Coop?
Speaker 5 (33:12):
Uh, I'm I guess maple syrup does sound good? Are
we in the right area of I mean it is
all of Canada maple syrup?
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Well, I mean it's known as a Canadian the eastern one, yeah,
from which is.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
In the US, and then above that is where.
Speaker 5 (33:28):
The gotcha got just so, yes, I don't know if
I'm going to be bringing back maple syrup. But you
know I'll be bringing back something.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
Okay, what is next year? To ask? Ben? Your questions
are answered.
Speaker 5 (33:38):
Ryan and Maine. Would like to know Ryan Mayo or
Butter on your lobster roll?
Speaker 3 (33:45):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (33:46):
Well, butter would be I don't know lobster roles, but
I'd go butter. What about you have a rain?
Speaker 4 (33:51):
No, I gotta do butter, baby, not that I.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
Don't believe in seafood. How about you?
Speaker 5 (33:56):
Butter's the only answer. The Connecticut, I believe that is Connecticut. Yeah,
the Mayo is a main lobster roll.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
I think, Oh, you just ripped the people to Maine. Okay,
that's they love their lapster. You go to Portland, Maine,
every gift shop has a lapse this shirt. All right,
what's next? What do we have?
Speaker 5 (34:15):
All right?
Speaker 2 (34:17):
First, Ben, your question is.
Speaker 5 (34:18):
Are answer ferg Dog would like to know?
Speaker 2 (34:21):
Hi Fergie?
Speaker 5 (34:23):
Have you ever t peed or egged anyone's house or
had it done to you?
Speaker 2 (34:28):
Yes? Both accounts.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
When I was growing up, I lived in a community
that had nothing, but like Orange Groves, we had a
lot of freak time on our hands.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
There was no internet and there was a lot of
toilet paper throwing, and we used to go around when
I was in high school.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
We get random stuff off the road, like the side
of the road, like those cones, and put it on.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
People's like homes, and we were troublemakers. What about you
with rain?
Speaker 9 (34:53):
Oh, I think it's funny that tpeeing is practically illegal
now after COVID bud. Yeah, because the toilet paper is short.
But no, I never tpe at anyone's houses. We would
do tampons and forks.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
Well that's pretty what want.
Speaker 9 (35:07):
Yeah, so you take plastic forks and you stab them
all throughout the front yard, and then you take tampons
and you throw them all over the place.
Speaker 4 (35:15):
And it would be on a rainy day too, we
would do when it was raining.
Speaker 10 (35:18):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
Those were good to pick up, super fun, Okay cool.
Speaker 5 (35:23):
I was a good kid, so I did not do
that to anybody for it.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
But I did tell you there is something majestic, Cooper
if you throw a roll of toilet.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
Paper and at the right angle as it's flying through
the air, the trail of the toilet paper.
Speaker 5 (35:37):
Yeah, I could I could see that being gratifying. I
did have my car egged though shortly after high school.
That sucks because it scratches your paint.
Speaker 1 (35:48):
Yeah, the problem is you got to get rid of
that right away if you leave, if you don't know
about it, and the eggs on the car for a while, yeah, yeah,
you're really you're screwed.
Speaker 2 (35:57):
It's asked men.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
Your questions are answers for the all of the hour
hashtag asked ben.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
If you like this bit, we do it every week
at this time. If you don't like the bit, we
only do it once once a week. So who cares.
That's it all right? What's next?
Speaker 5 (36:12):
Donkey Sausage has a question from twenty fifteen. Hi Donkey,
he would like to know do you have cable or
satellite TV?
Speaker 1 (36:21):
Well, yeah, yeah, none, mean, Bob, I haven't had cable
or satellite television in years.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
I'm able to watch.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
Everything I need on the interweb and the streaming and
other places.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
So yeah, no, it's been been a long time.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
And I would have kept I had DirecTV and I loved.
Speaker 2 (36:38):
It, and I would have kept it.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
They just kept raising the price, and I was like,
I could buy a car, I could pay for a
car every month, or get.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
The I mean, why would I do that? I mean,
I like TV, but it's so stupid with.
Speaker 1 (36:49):
All the channels I need to get to watch the games.
What about you, Lorraine?
Speaker 4 (36:54):
Yeah, no, I only have Netflix.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
You don't pay for any other streaming shit.
Speaker 4 (36:59):
No, I'm very cheap and I don't think watching TV
is worth my money.
Speaker 2 (37:03):
Yeah, what about radio?
Speaker 4 (37:05):
I love radio. I listened to radio all the time,
even on my drives home.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
Okay, almost people in the car. What about you?
Speaker 6 (37:13):
Cool?
Speaker 5 (37:13):
I too used to have direct TV, but when they
lost NFL Sunday Ticket, there was no reason for me
to stick around. So now I pay almost as much
as I did for Direct TV, paying for fifteen different
streaming streaming services. And I also have a Spectrum TV.
(37:34):
It's like the Internet streaming plan because that's the only
way I can watch like the Angels and the Lakers.
Speaker 1 (37:40):
And there are some other ways you might be able
to do that.
Speaker 2 (37:44):
Yeah, what is what is next year?
Speaker 5 (37:47):
Georgia boy would like to know.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
Hi, Georgia Boy.
Speaker 5 (37:50):
What is the strangest thing that you've eaten? Deep fried?
Speaker 7 (37:53):
Ooh?
Speaker 4 (37:54):
I like this question.
Speaker 1 (37:58):
I don't by act it in that there were some
things I ate that got you know how you get
the fries and there's other stuff in there, like, so
it'd be like zucchini or some other random vegetables.
Speaker 5 (38:09):
Is delicious, yeah.
Speaker 1 (38:10):
Mushrooms, yeah, something like nothing intentionally, I guess some kind
of weird fried seafood. I ate one time. I don't
know what kind of seafood it was because it was fried,
but I don't like seafood, so something like that.
Speaker 9 (38:23):
What about you, Lorrain, It's got to be like a
fried oreo from the fair?
Speaker 5 (38:28):
Okay, does that really count?
Speaker 3 (38:29):
Though?
Speaker 2 (38:29):
That's good?
Speaker 5 (38:30):
That's like I I mean, it's strange.
Speaker 4 (38:32):
Yeah, it's not something I would normally deprice.
Speaker 2 (38:34):
Strange though, because that's every fair I've ever been to.
Speaker 5 (38:37):
I guess something.
Speaker 4 (38:39):
Twinkie. Yeah, but that used to be a new concoction.
Speaker 5 (38:42):
You're right, You're right, those are Those are kind of
standard now though.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
Fifteen years ago.
Speaker 4 (38:45):
That doesn't make them any less weird.
Speaker 5 (38:47):
No, Now you got to step it up and not
just got to be like fried.
Speaker 4 (38:50):
Like candy fried cotton.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
Yeah yeah, yeah, all right, coop uh Alligator Louisiana.
Speaker 5 (39:01):
It was a cruise leaving from Florida, so so kind
of yeah.
Speaker 2 (39:07):
I got you that.
Speaker 5 (39:08):
It was pretty good.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
All right, what's what's next? Years it's asked Ben, your
questions are.
Speaker 5 (39:12):
Answered, I'm gonna I'm gonna ask another one from Donkey Sausage.
He wants to know do you still watch DVD or
Blu Ray DVDs.
Speaker 1 (39:23):
No, I have not watched a DVD or Blu Ray
DVD in probably ten years.
Speaker 2 (39:28):
What about you, of Lorain, No, I have.
Speaker 9 (39:30):
Yeah, there's a since I don't have the other streaming services.
I watched a lot of Disney movies on DVD and
Blu Ray at the house.
Speaker 5 (39:37):
Oh boy, it's probably been about ten years for me.
But I just I still have a drawer filled with
DVDs and Blu Rays and all that. I just haven't
touched it in ten years.
Speaker 4 (39:48):
Order.
Speaker 2 (39:49):
Yeah, well cool is at least no pop up commercials
when you watch a DVD. That's a good thing.
Knock, knock, who's there. It's our birth three. Our number
three is ready for you. On this twenty ninth day
of May Talk and Bays Bowl with the New York
Metropolitans and manager Carlos Mendoza has announced that despite Juan
(00:21):
Soto sucking at a time you cannot suck, he passes
the eye test.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Yeah, that's the quote. He passes the eye test. How
does that play with the base of met fans? We'll
discuss that. Also.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
How did Tim Anderson go from a batting champ with
the White Sox to getting a pink slip from the
Angels He was fired. Gunner Henderson, the kid from Alabama
playing shortstop for the Oriols, apparently has turned down a
long term extension from Baltimore.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
You believe this? Can you believe he would turn that down?
Speaker 1 (00:55):
We'll talk about that and more right now as we
make waves and our number three, the not so amazing amazing,
Say what Welcome in the beginning of another hour of
the Ben Malar Show. We are in the air everywhere,
(01:18):
key collaborators, as we are off road, driving coast to coast,
border the border and beyond on the vast and rolickingly
powerful microphones of FSR AM modinating live from the blanket,
the safety blanket that is your Fox Sports Radio Studios,
(01:42):
as approved by Anchor Baby. That's right, Anchor Baby said,
we approve. And this portion of the Ben Malar Show
made possible by our friends at ti Iraq. For over

right tires for how, what and where they drive, ship
fast and free, backed by free road hazard protection with

convenient installation options like mobile tire installation tire rac dot
com the way that tire buying show b So our
lead this hour is from Baseball and I am a sucker.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
I am a total sucker for a good story.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
And this has all the ingredients, all the ingredients of
good talk radio. You've got big money, big name, and
crap performance.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
That's all you need. So our lead this hour is
from Flushing in Queens. It's appropriate.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Well, you talk about a team getting short changed to
here right now, so it is time for our obligatory
Mallard monologue on one Soto. Consider this a wellness check
on one Soto. How are things going for the Mets
right now?
Speaker 2 (02:54):
With one Soto?
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Don't ask, do not ask, you're not gonna want the answer.
So Juan Soto went hitless again. He failed to get
the ball out of the infield. The Mets did the unthinkable,
the unimaginable. They lost to the Chicago White Sox. Say
it ain't so the lowly White Sox. So after signing
a seven hundred and sixty five million dollar contract, you
(03:20):
talk about rolling out the welcome wagon that was back
in December as a free agent. Juan Soto is batting
close to the Mendoza line. He's hitting two twenty four
this season, has just eight home runs twenty five runs
batted in in fifty five games for the Mets. There's
been a lot of turbulence, a lot of turbulence with
(03:42):
Juan Soto.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
As a Met, as you might imagine. So that leads
us to this.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
The New York Mets manager Carlos Mendoza, he was asked
about his player not doing very well and lobbing the
bat through the zone, not making much contact, and Carlos
Mendoza expressed confidence. He said he's got faith in Juan Soto,
saying here's the money quote that Juan Soto passes the
(04:12):
eye test. Despite the stats being of somebody that you
signed out of the Korean Baseball League or the Mexican League.
It doesn't matter. The managers like, oh yeah, we're good.
That's the money quote. So let us discuss the question.
New York Metropolitan manager Carlos Mendoza announced that one Soto
(04:33):
quote passes the eye test. That's the quote. So how
does that play with the base? How does that play
with the base. So I've got Mark Twain, Buckeye and
the gatekeeper, and we will combine all of these things
together and we'll be We'll be floating on air. We're
(04:53):
literally floating on air. When you do talk radio, you're
floating on air as the voice goes everywhere. And that's
how it is.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
So my first thought on this is that we have
looked at the eye test.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
We've examined the eye test, and we've determined that Juan
Soto is color blind. At this point, Carlos Mendoza does
not believe the gibberish that he passes the eye test.
If you recall about ten days ago, the Mets manager
Mets manager Carlos Mendoza called out the lack of hustle,
(05:27):
the lack of effort by Juan Soto, And here we
are a few days later, and all of a sudden,
I passes the eye test. Well, we know the color
blind nature. He does see the color green. Other than that,
everything's kind of just there. And you are what your
record says you are. His body of work with the
Mets is ghastly. It is ghastly. How bad is it?
(05:50):
Juan Soto's batting average is doing the limbo? How low
can you go? He is sixty one points below his
career mark entering the season. The argument on one Soto
was he's full proof no matter what. He might not
play great defense, and maybe he won't hustle, but he'll
always hit. He can get out of bed and he'll
(06:11):
get a base hit or two for you every game.
And he hasn't homerd since May ninth. Today is May
twenty ninth, so he's been twenty days since he hit
home run. That is a span of seventy five played appearances.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Which I'm told is not good. I'm told it's not good.
And but wait, there's more.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
He has just seven hits in his last fifty nine
at bats. That is a robust one nineteen batting average.
It's okay, though he passes the old eye test. He's
also driving the struggle bus at this point.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
So there you go.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
And that's that's where you go with what you go
with the eye test. You say, hey, I believe in
the eye test. When the numbers are ugally with a
capitol of you, you fall back on the eye test.
Who can argue with the eye test. It's your opinion,
it's the eye test. You just look at the baseball
(07:08):
reference page. You say, eh, looks good to me. Yeah,
looks good to me. My eyes say good. Player to
quote Mark Twain, denial ain't just a river in Egypt.
And we know the Mets manager does not believe it.
You want more numbers, how about this with runners in
scoring position, the seven hundred and sixty five million dollar
(07:28):
bust Juan Sota this point, he's a bus batting a
buck thirty, batting one thirty forty six at Tamps, six
hits with one home.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Run and sixteen runs. Bat at him.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Terrible, terrible, terrible turble. Now again, trust your eyes. You
know why I trust blind Emmett blind, I trust him
in could terror blind Scott. They know the eye test
bull crap, they know it. Now speaking a bull crap,
what a story you talk about swimming against the current
(08:03):
in Anaheim the high Speed Sports Wire, the Angels.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Have said Nana na da.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Goodbye. They have said goodbye to shortstop Tim Anderson. Yes,
that is the same Tim Anderson that made sports talk
radio headlines years ago. So Tim Anderson was brought in
on a make good contract and he didn't make good.
Part of a flurry of roster moves by Ron Washington's Halos,
(08:37):
the two time White Sox All Star has been designated
for assignment, a polite way of saying.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
He's a fallen Angel. So the question.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
How did Tim Anderson go from a batting champ in
the American League.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
To getting a nice, big pink slip from the Angels.
And it's only been a couple of years.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
And if you look at the resume of Anderson, he
might have to contact express pros. He has been dumped
by the Marlins and the Halos in recent years. Okay, yeah,
And when teams like that that aren't even trying to win,
say ah, we're good, man, we don't need you.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
We're good. What more do you need? You've reached bedrock.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
You are laying on bedrock now, Tim Anderson is the
first Major League baseball player that I can think of,
at least in modern times. Tim Anderson to have his
career literally knocked out. Remember hearing stories of George Foreman,
who was this undefeated boxer until he took on Muhammad
(09:46):
Ali in what became known as the Rope a Dope
of Muhammad Ali.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Eight rounds, a knockout in.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
The rumble in the Jungle, and George Foreman was never
the same. He retired for a number of years. He
didn't come back and fight again years later. He was
never the same though. After the ropidobe situation. For Tim Anderson,
it was the buck Guy beat down, Buck Guy beat down.
On a random night in August of twenty twenty three,
(10:19):
on a random night in Cleveland, Ohio, Jose Ramirez of
the team formerly known as the Indians connect right there
to the moneymaker of Tim Anderson, right to the jaw,
right there wild haymaker at second base, and that set
Tim Anderson on his back. Down gos Anderson, down goes Anderson,
(10:44):
and he's never recovered. He is never recovered from the
Rust Belt Rumble. It hasn't happened. Tim Anderson batting a
putred two twenty three, so he's actually not that far
behind the aforementioned.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Who we told you earlier on here.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Juan Soto with the New York Mets is somehow, some
way batting two twenty four, So that's only one point better.
So if you hit two twenty three for the Angels,
you get let go. If you bat two twenty four
with the Mets, you get a seven hundred and sixty
five million dollar contract.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Makes sense logical?
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Uh So, Tim Anderson no home runs twelve doubles total
since the clash on the Kyahoga back in three. And
this is a guy who used to be the definition
of swag.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
He was electric.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
He was electric as a ballplayer, played with emotion, had
the razzle dazzle, all the excitement. And now he's got
no power. He sucks on defense, he's not that fast,
he doesn't walk. There's nothing that he does that's helpful.
And somewhere, and I'm not sure where this is, somewhere,
(11:59):
Josh donald tipped one over in honor of the karma
gods of baseball. You might remember Tim Anderson got very
upset with Josh Donaldson. Very upset got Josh Donaldson suspended
when Donaldson used the nickname the Tim Anderson and given
himself and that led to his suspension. And now Karma's
(12:22):
come back to bite Tim Anderson in the took Us
Final Fuck to Baltimore We Go where Sports with Coleman
hangs out with Baltimore Royalty on his podcast like Mike
Bordick and Jim Palmer and the Orioles are miserable. There
are whispers I thought this was interesting. The Orioles ownership
group sat down, they had a pow wow with Gunner
(12:45):
Henderson and they made him an offer.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
This winter story came out the last couple of days.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
They could not come to an agreement that the offer
was made. He decided this is an offer I can
refuse and said no. Oh, so Gunner Henderson, the pride
and joy of Alabama playing shortstop in Baltimore. That's rarefied
air of a certain age if you remember cal Ripken,
(13:11):
and he has apparently turned down a long term, big
money extension from the Baltimore baseball team.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Do you believe this? Do you believe that's accurate? So
I believe it. I'm gonna vote yes on this.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
And the reason that Gunner Henderson turned down big money.
We're not sure how much money, but it's big money
for the long term. The reason the gatekeeper. The gatekeeper
that is a Scott Boris client. Scott Borris is the agent.
I saw Scott at the Yankee Angel game schmoozing behind
(13:45):
the suitees there behind home plate. Here's the thing, though,
Gunner Henderson, you hire Scott Borris Boris as the gatekeeper.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
He blocks more shots than well Tombo.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Right, you don't hire Scott by us to give a
hometown discount to the team.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
You're playing for. The messaging is rather clear.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
The messaging is, eh, I'm gonna wait until I hit
free agency. Henderson's got some years to go. He's about
to turn twenty four. It is risky business. It is
risky business for several reasons. You could blow out your knee,
you can have a shoulder problem. You play that you
could you could game. There is a regression. Not every
(14:29):
young player continues to ascend up up a way. There
are plenty of young players that peak too soon. The
league adjusts to you and suddenly you're not that great anymore.
Pretty good example of that be a guy like Cody Bellinger,
who won an MVP Award with the Dodgers, and he's
not a bad player, but he's just an average outfielder.
(14:51):
There's nothing really special about Cody Bellinger in terms of offense.
And that's an example, right, that's an example, and also
based on simple in inflation, if you get the money now,
it will be worth more than if you get the
money later because of the way the economics work and
all that, especially with the way the dollar has been
(15:15):
downgraded year after year after year and continues to be downgraded.

Here's the Mallory riddle of the day.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
So cameras recently caught Marlin's infielder Ronnie Simon blanking on
the field. Blanking on the field, and that is the
Malor riddle of the day. Let's see, does anyone know
the answer? We go to the Great Unwashed and we'll
see here. Tom says, smoking brisket. If you played with
(18:14):
the Marlins, you'd be better off smoking brisket in the infield.
You would be Ferg Dog says laying sawd Now is

Speaker 2 (18:37):
There you go, Okay, who else do we have? Page down?

Speaker 1 (19:52):
The wing Man says, eating oodles of noodles from Marcel

Speaker 2 (20:31):

What else do we have? Page down?
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Mike the Leprechaun says he was picking his nose.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
That that is the answer. All right, Loraine, do you
have an answer?
Speaker 4 (20:45):
Yes, I think he was caught doing the macarena.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
All right, that is incorrect.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
The correct answer is the Marlins infielder Ronnie Simon was
caught on camera as he was crying on He immediately
made three errors in four innings. Then there are mixed
emotions on this because I was I was told by
Tom Hanks years ago there's no crying in baseball, so
(21:13):
I thought that was the case. You do feel bad
on the human level, like what are you doing, dude?
Speaker 2 (21:17):
This guy's crying?
Speaker 5 (21:19):
Crying not crying.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Baseball is really like nobody and he's trying to make
a name for himself, and he's totally effing up and he.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
Clearly he cares, which is good.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
I've I've always said, like, you make mistakes and stuff,
and I've worked with a lot of people that make mistakes
all the time. I make mistakes all the time. But
as long as you're trying, you put the effort in.
The problem is when you have people that don't care,
that just go through the motions and take no pride
in the work, that's the problem.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
And so this guy cares.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Now I don't know whether he can play or not,
but he cares, and that means something. That absolutely means something.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
It is the Ben Mahlor Show.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
As we are working away through the overnight, we do
have asked Ben coming up in a few minutes.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
Let's get back to the.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Calls and we'll say hello to Eenie Meenie, miney mo.
Let's say hello to Steve in Minnesota.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
What's going on, Steve, Welcome.
Speaker 6 (22:14):
Hey, Ben, the thanks lot. I may have observation or
whatever that on the night that you gave Charlie his nickname,
you were asking him six seven eight nicknames, and including
was the Dallas Dumper, and he turned that down, and
I was just wondering, isn't that rude to give him
a nickname that he didn't want.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
No, no, you're not allowed. The Broke code is you're
not allowed to come up with your own nickname. So
we decided the nickname. We gave him the option. We said, hey,
you can vote for this or that or whatever. But
it ultimately we.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Were the ones that decided the nickname, and we added
the Dallas number. And while you you might remember, initially
Steve Charlie was anti Dallas dumper, he now accepts it.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
He now is okay with it. How about that?
Speaker 6 (23:01):
In Minnesota, we kind of call people who are picking
on kids or whatever a bully, so maybe.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
It'd be sure, how's it picking on kids? If he
calls up every night because he loves the show, how's
that pick?
Speaker 6 (23:12):
Well, you gave him the nickname that he said he
didn't want. You chose the nickname that he said he
didn't want, But now you're saying he loves again.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
I mean, maybe you're not an adult. I don't know.
You know how this works. I'll hang up on you
because you're probably too stupid. Just stay on the phone.
But the way it works is we decide the nickname,
and if you don't like the nickname, you don't call
the show. That's it. It's not that hard. It's very simple.
We come up with a nickname and if you like it, great,
If not, that's the nickname. Jed who Fled is a
great example. Jed had a different nickname and he ran
(23:43):
away like a coward.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
He was supposed to do the event with with real talk,
We're gonna do the Octagon, and he fled. He was
nowhere to be seen, and we gave him the nickname
Jed who Fled. I don't think he likes the nickname,
but that's his nickname, and that's the way it works. Oh,
here's a blast in the past. Let's say hello to
blind Sea Bass, who's next on the Ben Maliser. We've
(24:07):
not heard from blind Sea Bass in many, many years. Hello,
blind Sea Bass.
Speaker 7 (24:11):
Benjamin, my brother, how are you doing? My man?
Speaker 2 (24:15):
You're back and you've come out of hiding and here
you are.
Speaker 7 (24:19):
Yeah. This past couple of semesters have been a real
kicking the kotukis and it's taken a lot out of me.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Okay, well, I'm glad you're back. I'm happy.
Speaker 7 (24:29):
Yeah, brother, I just like I said, I ain't called
in the wall here, you know, check in you all
help update that you know, still alive and kick in but.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Barely so barely you sound Do you sound okay? Are
you taking care of your medical stuff here? You dealing
with your problems? You're getting a little better?
Speaker 7 (24:44):
No, Yeah, condisordered. Kidneys drop to thirty percent back in February.
And yeah, I had to change quite a bit of
eating and drinking habits and everything.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Yeah, that's better to be aware of it rather than
not change anything. And then you're the outcomes, not what
you're looking for.
Speaker 7 (25:04):
Right exactly?
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Yeah, all right, And I thought I thought we'd hear
from you when the Titans had the worst record, they
got the number one pick and drafted cam Ward and
then you were nowhere to be seen.
Speaker 7 (25:17):
Dude, I was. I was so unhappy with that pick.
I did not want cam Ward. I think they should
have just wrote it out for with Levis for one
more year and got the better pick for me, the
number one again next year, with a better draft, better
crop with quarterbacks coming out.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
You're saying, you're saying the famous blind Sea best. What
you're saying is they should have copied the Carolina Panthers
or no, the Chicago Bears. Because the Bears had their
more pick, they traded to Carolina and then they got
the number one pick from Carolina. But back to back years,
so they should have created the Probably nobody wanted cam Ward,
(25:55):
that's the problem. Like there's no one that was dying
to get cam Ward.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Otherwise they would have traded Yeah, I know.
Speaker 7 (26:02):
Like I said, Unfortunately, they should have traded back. I
think they should have traded back, picked up more draft picks,
and then got that number one again.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
I got you, I got you. All right. Well, listen,
I'm glad you're alive. That's number one. I'm happy you're alive.
Number two. Check in anytime you want. We're here every night.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
All right, So come by, say hello, and don't be
a stranger. Okay, take care of your die too. Don't
be a loser, take care of yourself.
Speaker 7 (26:24):
Okay, yeah, all right, brother, Hey, I always remember, don't
forget to clean the swamp off fighting alligators. You'll have
a good one feast.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
There is some great advice from blind Sea Bass and Tennessee.
Let's say hello to Hunter, who's in North Carolina. What's
going on Hunter Welcome.
Speaker 8 (26:43):
Hey man, I just wanted to wish you guys a
good trip. You sound on all of you sound super excited,
and I'm excited for you. If I wanted to propose
another number two drop maybe to compete with.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
So you believe you can do a better number two
that sounds.
Speaker 8 (27:09):
I mean, I mean his is good. Yeah, I've always
wanted to get in there. But number four is locked up.
Number three seems to be pretty secure. Number one is
never going anywhere.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
What about a number five? What about a number five?
If I use the number five, we can't have it.
Speaker 8 (27:26):
Number five a lot. I can do it number five
as well.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
I mean, the only thing I'm worried about is there's
a lot of ambient noise you're driving around, so I'm
a little concerned about that.
Speaker 8 (27:35):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I guess maybe I can get off
the blue tube. But now I'll do it another time
when I'm when I can pull the phone. I am
dropping to work.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Okay, Yeah, call us up when you're able to hold
the phone. And then, because we don't want to record
it because it's gonna sound terrible.
Speaker 8 (27:51):
With all that I can hear that it's not.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Good, all right, there you are fine, I'll let you go.
Thank you for listening.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
This hunter very excited about possibly being number five, not
number one, not the two, not the ones, and the two's,
not the threes, not the fours, not the fives.
Speaker 7 (28:07):
But.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Number five.
Speaker 9 (28:09):
You always pick number five as the winner, Ben, So
it might be a good button to have.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
It could be in another we need. I'd like to
have all the numbers up until.
Speaker 9 (28:20):
Like ninety seven, but nine's good.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Oh, nine would be all right, like you do like one,
because in one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine,
maybe ten, maybe ten. I think after ten, I think
we're good because with one through nine you can combine
if you if you say it's number nineteen, you'd put
the one and then the.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Nine together and then boom, last nineteen. So you're good
on that.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
So all you need I learned this in second grade.
All you need is the one through nine, and then
you've got all the other numbers.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Good to go. You have this. If you have zero,
you have zero in there. Good point. So yeah, all right,
I let's say hello to eeny Meeni, miny moe.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Let's go to t Jo who's in la. We do
have ask Ben your quests, our answers coming up.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
What's going on? Tito, welcome?
Speaker 10 (29:03):
What's going on?
Speaker 8 (29:04):
Band?
Speaker 10 (29:05):
My first my first thought to call, honestly, was because
of that dude talking about that nickname. I just had
to put it out there, a little bro pipe down nickname. Nicknames.
You know. That's ah another story. Don't chip on it,
but it's good man. When y'all going off to Vancouver.
I heard y'all got this little tour going on or whatever.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
Yeah, yeah, big Vancouver weekend at least part of the weekend,
and that'll be today.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
You're gonna drive up there. You should start driving teough.
I don't think you're gonna make it, but we'll.
Speaker 10 (29:35):
Be in if I could get from it later Vancouver
in that amount of time.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
If you hold on and you're I assume you're not
available to leave right now. Right, you can't really leave
right now. Let's see, when would you make it?
Speaker 10 (29:51):
Got me on a plane right now, I'll make it
as soon as possible. Man.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
So if I bought your if I bought your plane,
do you have your passport? You're ready to go? And
all that stuff?
Speaker 1 (29:59):
What says year It would take nineteen hours to drive
from LA to Vancouver. So that means that you would
not make it. I'm sorry, it's twelve hundred and seventy
six miles.
Speaker 10 (30:12):
Maybe in another lifetime or another year, you know, well,
or you if you.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Can Tito, if you can contact like the goblins the
aliens that are out there, you could take a spaceship
up to Vancouver and then you'd be good to go.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
Or you could just fly.
Speaker 10 (30:27):
Oh yeah, that's easier for Ben Maler to say, what's
your connection time?
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, I know all the goblins and
all that.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
Yeah, yeah, for sure. Yeah, lizard people. I'm friends with
lizard people.
Speaker 5 (30:38):
Yeah. Nah.
Speaker 10 (30:40):

gonna let you go.

And whatever I find, we'll see it's some cheesy Canadian souvenirs.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
And what about you, Lorena, You.
Speaker 9 (32:59):
Got me thinking about a Canadian tuxedo bathing suit, that's
for sure.
Speaker 4 (33:04):
I was thinking, you know, maybe a moose tattoo.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
Yeah, it'd be good to commemorate event. What about you, Coop?
Speaker 5 (33:12):
Uh, I'm I guess maple syrup does sound good? Are
we in the right area of I mean it is
all of Canada maple syrup?
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Well, I mean it's known as a Canadian the eastern one, yeah,
from which is.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
In the US, and then above that is where.
Speaker 5 (33:28):
The gotcha got just so, yes, I don't know if
I'm going to be bringing back maple syrup. But you
know I'll be bringing back something.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
Okay, what is next year? To ask? Ben? Your questions
are answered.
Speaker 5 (33:38):
Ryan and Maine. Would like to know Ryan Mayo or
Butter on your lobster roll?
Speaker 3 (33:45):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (33:46):
Well, butter would be I don't know lobster roles, but
I'd go butter. What about you have a rain?
Speaker 4 (33:51):
No, I gotta do butter, baby, not that I.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
Don't believe in seafood. How about you?
Speaker 5 (33:56):
Butter's the only answer. The Connecticut, I believe that is Connecticut. Yeah,
the Mayo is a main lobster roll.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
I think, Oh, you just ripped the people to Maine. Okay,
that's they love their lapster. You go to Portland, Maine,
every gift shop has a lapse this shirt. All right,
what's next? What do we have?
Speaker 5 (34:15):
All right?
Speaker 2 (34:17):
First, Ben, your question is.
Speaker 5 (34:18):
Are answer ferg Dog would like to know?
Speaker 2 (34:21):
Hi Fergie?
Speaker 5 (34:23):
Have you ever t peed or egged anyone's house or
had it done to you?
Speaker 2 (34:28):
Yes? Both accounts.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
When I was growing up, I lived in a community
that had nothing, but like Orange Groves, we had a
lot of freak time on our hands.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
There was no internet and there was a lot of
toilet paper throwing, and we used to go around when
I was in high school.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
We get random stuff off the road, like the side
of the road, like those cones, and put it on.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
People's like homes, and we were troublemakers. What about you
with rain?
Speaker 9 (34:53):
Oh, I think it's funny that tpeeing is practically illegal
now after COVID bud. Yeah, because the toilet paper is short.
But no, I never tpe at anyone's houses. We would
do tampons and forks.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
Well that's pretty what want.
Speaker 9 (35:07):
Yeah, so you take plastic forks and you stab them
all throughout the front yard, and then you take tampons
and you throw them all over the place.
Speaker 4 (35:15):
And it would be on a rainy day too, we
would do when it was raining.
Speaker 10 (35:18):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
Those were good to pick up, super fun, Okay cool.
Speaker 5 (35:23):
I was a good kid, so I did not do
that to anybody for it.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
But I did tell you there is something majestic, Cooper
if you throw a roll of toilet.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
Paper and at the right angle as it's flying through
the air, the trail of the toilet paper.
Speaker 5 (35:37):
Yeah, I could I could see that being gratifying. I
did have my car egged though shortly after high school.
That sucks because it scratches your paint.
Speaker 1 (35:48):
Yeah, the problem is you got to get rid of
that right away if you leave, if you don't know
about it, and the eggs on the car for a while, yeah, yeah,
you're really you're screwed.
Speaker 2 (35:57):
It's asked men.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
Your questions are answers for the all of the hour
hashtag asked ben.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
If you like this bit, we do it every week
at this time. If you don't like the bit, we
only do it once once a week. So who cares.
That's it all right? What's next?
Speaker 5 (36:12):
Donkey Sausage has a question from twenty fifteen. Hi Donkey,
he would like to know do you have cable or
satellite TV?
Speaker 1 (36:21):
Well, yeah, yeah, none, mean, Bob, I haven't had cable
or satellite television in years.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
I'm able to watch.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
Everything I need on the interweb and the streaming and
other places.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
So yeah, no, it's been been a long time.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
And I would have kept I had DirecTV and I loved.
Speaker 2 (36:38):
It, and I would have kept it.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
They just kept raising the price, and I was like,
I could buy a car, I could pay for a
car every month, or get.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
The I mean, why would I do that? I mean,
I like TV, but it's so stupid with.
Speaker 1 (36:49):
All the channels I need to get to watch the games.
What about you, Lorraine?
Speaker 4 (36:54):
Yeah, no, I only have Netflix.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
You don't pay for any other streaming shit.
Speaker 4 (36:59):
No, I'm very cheap and I don't think watching TV
is worth my money.
Speaker 2 (37:03):
Yeah, what about radio?
Speaker 4 (37:05):
I love radio. I listened to radio all the time,
even on my drives home.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
Okay, almost people in the car. What about you?
Speaker 6 (37:13):
Cool?
Speaker 5 (37:13):
I too used to have direct TV, but when they
lost NFL Sunday Ticket, there was no reason for me
to stick around. So now I pay almost as much
as I did for Direct TV, paying for fifteen different
streaming streaming services. And I also have a Spectrum TV.
(37:34):
It's like the Internet streaming plan because that's the only
way I can watch like the Angels and the Lakers.
Speaker 1 (37:40):
And there are some other ways you might be able
to do that.
Speaker 2 (37:44):
Yeah, what is what is next year?
Speaker 5 (37:47):

Mushrooms, yeah, something like nothing intentionally, I guess some kind
of weird fried seafood. I ate one time. I don't
know what kind of seafood it was because it was fried,
but I don't like seafood, so something like that.
