It's our number three, our number three, And here we
are on the diamond talking some baseball. The Dodgers have
taken the first couple of games against the lowly New
York Mets, who have lost seven games and row. The
story here, though, is the closer for the Dodgers?
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Does this?
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Dodger manager Dave Roberts explanation on not not pitching Edwin
Diaz against the Metropolitans his old team, past the smell test.
Also college football, how do you parse the words of
Marcus Freeman talking about Notre Dame's future as an independent.
There's been some people saying, well, they got to go
(00:42):
to a conference, and Marcus Freeman.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Spelling that out. We'll get to that.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Also, the NFL Raiders executives claiming the team will keep
the number one overall picking the draft. What's your read
on this one? We'll go there as well. Right now here,
it is our number three. These silent trumpets, why are
(01:06):
they silent? Welcome in the beginning of another hour of

it and this our little Hodgepodge. We'll start with some baseball.
The Doyers and the New York Mets. Good pitching matchup
at Dodgers Stadium. You had mister World Series MVP, Yoshinobu Yamamoto,
(03:11):
and the rookie phenom who couldn't get it done for
Team USA, and that World Baseball Classic Nolan McLain on
the mound. They dueled at the ravine through seven innings,
seven innings, Kyle Tucker hit a little duck snort. The
exit vlo on Kyle Tucker's hit was like fifty six,
(03:32):
and that really drove the Nerds nuts nuts because it.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Was supposed to be. It does nuts, but you're not
supposed to get a hit. When you don't at the ball,
it's not right as a Okay, that's baseball. That is baseball.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
So that happened in the eighth innings, drove in the
go ahead run and the Dodgers held on. They win
two to one over the lowly Mets. Who have now
lost seven straight in another season, and the Mets blow.
I'm old enough to remember when the Mets ownership changed
and we were told this guarantees, guarantees, the Mets are
(04:08):
going to be the crown jewel of the National League.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
How's that working at?
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Not so good.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
So the Mets have been outscored by twenty six runs
in their seven game losing streets. Now, I didn't play
professional baseball. I just happened to do an overnight talk show.
I believe that sucks. Oh, you're being mean. And who
is in the tuck us position in the National League East? Yes,
that would be the Mets. The Mets who are seven eleven.
(04:36):
That's their record, seven and eleven.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Yikes?
Speaker 2 (04:39):
All right now one of the more interesting storylines, the
reason I'm bringing this game up, something that didn't happen
has become a story.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Now, what is it? You know where I'm going with this?
Perhaps not so?
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Despite having a two to one lead going to the
ninth inning, a clear and obvious spot to bring in
your closer, Let's go to the bullpen and call my closer. Okay,
Dave Roberts didn't not, did not bring in all star
level closer Edwin Diaz instead going with Alec Vesia to
close out the game. Now, he denied the moment, and
(05:12):
it's all about the moment. He denied the moment, denying
that drama, the human emotion of sport. The of course
trauma would have been as Edwin Diaz came out of
the bullpen and the trumpets were playing, and the whole
thing there against his former Metropolitan teammates. He did not pished. Now,
(05:35):
Dave Roberts claimed that Diaz through a bullpen session prior
to the game and that meant he was unavailable. Because
Roberts didn't say this prior to the game, he said
this after the fact. He said, well, we couldn't have
gone with Diaz because of this. He said, there's no
concern with his knee or his arm or the what
you McCall it at all. So that is a good
(05:57):
jumping off point. Let us discuss the question. Does this
Dave Roberts explanation for not pitching Dodgers closer Edwin Diaz
against his old team past the smell test. So I've
got the ward leftover, meat loaf and remote control. Yeah,
(06:21):
we'll combine all of these together and we hope to
have the Midas touch.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
We want to have the Midas touch.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
So, first of all, this is a DC situation, as
in damage control, damage control, and it reeks of morning breath.
I'm talking full halitosis. Okay, something sends a little off here.
We know that Roberts and these guys lie all the time.
(06:47):
Lie Lie, Lie, Lie, Lie lie lie. So if everything
was kosher with Edwin Diaz, then what are we doing here?
Speaker 1 (06:59):
All right?
Speaker 2 (06:59):
And the bullpens? Why would you do a bullpen session?
And then he's not available against supposed contender The Mets
aren't playing well right now for the season, Like the
Mets are gonna be one of the top teams in
the Nation League and all this that you'd think you'd
want your guys there. You might do that when you're
playing the Colorado Rockies, not the Mets revenge game. No,
(07:23):
Timmy Trumpet didn't get that. We're doing blasting out of
the speakers at Dodger Stadium. That didn't happen. So is
there trouble in Paradise? Well, something's going on here now.
Diaz is thirty two, which is not ancient. However, you're
no longer a bulletproof when you're thirty two and the
early returns have not been good. Diaz has an earn
(07:45):
run average of over six. I watch, I think it's
exactly six, So it's a high earn run average. He's
only pitched in like a handful of games and all that.
That's all we have to do. We have to do
the show. All we have to judge him on. We
have to do the show today. The league last year
batted one sixty four against Edwin Diaz. So far this
year they're batting two fifty. Now, two fifty doesn't sound
(08:07):
that bad. However, when you're a relief pitcher and you
only face a handful of batters a game, and you're
used to getting a batting average in the one sixty range,
and all of a sudden it's two fifty, that seems
to be a rather large bumpety bump. That doesn't seem
like just variance. It's regression. There's some regression going on.
(08:28):
And you wonder, did the Dodgers by a lemon? Is
this guy a lemon? You don't know because it's too
early in the year. So what's happening is Diez dinged up?
Is he messed up? Is something going on. Here are
the Dodgers playing koy, I would not be shocked. The
(08:48):
Dodgers have a history of coddling their pictures and they do.
It's like they're at the ward, not that ward. I'm
talking about the maternity ward. They're like born babies of
these pitchers, and they spoil them. They do get treated
like children. The Dodgers are paying Blake Smell a lot
of money to be a gamer. They told them. I said,
(09:10):
let's take the first two months off, just come back
and pitch in the playoffs, so you can almost lose
the World Series for us. We'll pay a lot of money.
Just make sure you mentioned the Dodgers on those Twitch streams.
And Blake's like, sure, Bra, I'm bra, I'm risking my
live brawl. Sure, I'm not playing unless it get mine.
But I'll play the video games without the money. Well
I'm getting the money, so I will play the vide
games for the money. That's how that's gonna go. Yeah, exactly,
(09:31):
But no, the Dodgers. Any sign of trouble with these guys,
it drives me nuts. It drives me bonkers because I'm
easily driven to that place, and you know, straight to
the injury tent the Great Outdoors.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
That's how that goes. And here's the tell. If it
is a.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Quote mechanical issue, all right, why the secrecy? Usually the
soft launch before the il stint. That's the soft launch
before the il's smart money says, you don't hide a
healthy closer, especially because it's again it's the moment, it's
against his old team. Would have been good to see
(10:10):
how this went, and good drama. One run game. That's
a legitimate save as opposed to an illegitimate save.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
And that's that. Now. Secondly we bounce around.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
We promised you a Hodgepodge, and if I promise a Hodgepodge,
I am going to give you a Smorgesborg, not just
a Hodgepodge, a Smorgasborg.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
So we go to.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
College football, where the Golden Domers are making some news. Here.
The fighting Irish coach Marcus Freeman recently discussed the pros
and cons of the idea that Notre Dame would remain
independent or would they go to a conference. This is
(10:50):
seemingly a debate every couple of years. Should Notre Dame
be in one of these mega conferences? And it's not
exactly fair what's been going on with the fighting Irish?
Now the head coach boldly predicted No one could have
come up with his take other than Marcus Freeman boldly
predicted that Notre Dame would join a conference if if
(11:12):
the administration thinks they'll face a competitive disadvantage.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
That's the quote.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Now, Freeman blamed last year's snaffoo for Notre Dame, last
year's snaff who he blamed it on the two losses,
which is a non answer answer. So the question, how
do you parse the words? How do you parse the
words of Marcus Freeman talking about Notre Dame's future as
(11:41):
an independent? So spare me, I don't know about you.
Spare me the underdog bull crap, like this is some
kind of underdog cosplay.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Don't eat that.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Marcus Freeman talking about competitive disadvantage. That's his term, it's
not my term. That's his term, competitive disadvantage. And it's
like a billionaire complaining because the American Airlines flight he
was on only had peanuts. Well, okay, you're sitting in
first class. But they only had peanuts. But you're sitting
(12:15):
in first class, It's okay, you should have flown a
private jet.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Well, I tried it, I decided not to. But then
don't complain about the peanuts. That's it.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Notre Dame is not exactly last I checked, begging for
leftover meat loaf.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
They're not.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
They're dining on a Porterhouse steak at the head of
the table. In college football, the program has been college
football Royalty my entire life. In fact, it started about
one hundred years ago, which is a fair amount of time.
A fair amount of time, and a man that in
(12:50):
the mob they would say that's a made man. A
made man built the program in like a backroom deal
and this deal and brand power and all that stuff.
They start every season as rob Manfraud's wet dream. In baseball,
they are the ghost runner that starts out on third base.
(13:12):
Check all the boxes, national TV, check automatic automatic, national TV.
Un schedule flexibility. They can play whoever they want, whenever
they want, unlimited schedule flexibility. Playoff benefit of the doubt
baked it meaning that Notre Dame starts out as a
(13:36):
playoff team and they have to play out of the playoffs,
and they've.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Made it even easier going forward.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
They change the rule goes into effect next year to
make it even easier for Notre Dame football to get in.
So this is not some kind of disadvantaged competitive disadvantage. Obviously,
it is the opposite. It's the ultimate cheat code. It's
like the Astros banging on trash cans whistles back in
the day. It's really helpful. Helps you win a world series,
(14:04):
a bogus world series, it helps you win that. And
so it's it's not a burden. Independence is not a burden.
It is a loophole. It is protection. It's privilege. You
go out and join the Big Ten or the Southeastern Conference,
and suddenly you're just another team, a faceless, nameless team,
(14:24):
and you're right in the line of fire. You don't
get any more special treatment. You don't get the free
massages and the little things of soap. They don't leave
those in your bathroom anymore. And so Freeman is exposing
a flaw. There is a flaw here, and he's defending
the whole system.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Right. The only way there is one way Notre Dame
would go to a conference.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
The only way they would do that is if NBC
said we're out, and they could not get a similar
TV package. If the people at NBC said we're spend
and so much money and all this other stuff we
cannot afford. You know, we broke our budget on benny
versus the penny for a couple of years. We have
no money left. And if that happened and no one
else was willing to just buy the Notre Dame rights,
(15:12):
then they would say, well, why don't we join the
Big ten? Does anyone think that's gonna happen? And some
of these guys can plain the ratings aren't great for
Notre Dame football and all that, Clearly they're good enough
to keep the money coming in. And remember there's two
ways to make money in broadcasting live not podcasting, but
live broadcast, like real broadcasting, live radio or television. There's
(15:32):
the ratings which lead to advertiser dollars, and there's advertisers
that just blindly spend a lot of money on a
brand like Notre Dame because it's Notre Dame. So it's like,
if the ratings aren't great, it doesn't necessarily matter. It's
like a lot of sports radio stations, they don't in
some places, they don't get great ratings, so they're able
to sell it. As John Sterling, the Voice of the Yankees,
(15:55):
for many years. Told me on the Fifth Hour podcast
years ago, you got to sell the soap. A sells
a lot of soap, lots and lots of soap. You
know that, and I know I final thought, we go
to the NFL VVA Las Vegas, Viva Las Vegas.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
So are the Raiders going to say return de sender
on the.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Number one pick in the end, Well, it would appear
no that they are locked in baby On Heisman winner
and future NFL bust Fernando Mendoza, JaMarcus Russell without the
Purple Drink so GM. John Spytech, better known by his
(16:36):
nickname the sock puppet for Tom Brady College Buddies from Michigan.
So spy Tech who has the GM title. Even though
Tom Brady makes all the big decisions, He claimed that
other teams have interest in the top pick. Believe that,
but you know what that means? Said, though the Raiders
will use the pick. Without saying the Raiders will use
the pick, he said, quote, We've gotten a few calls,
(16:59):
and those teams know where they stand right now. There's
only one team that can get the exact person they want,
spy Tech said, and we have that option available to
us if we so choose. Okay, a question. The Raiders GM,
which is really Tom Brady, but the guy pretending to
(17:20):
be the GM, he gets to get to office and
take the bullets and all that. So the Raiders GM
John spy Tech claiming that the team will keep the
number one pick in the number What is your read
on this one? So my read on this one. Normally
this is the part of the monologue where I say,
(17:41):
let's go to the lie detective test and.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Not this time. No, no, no. This feels less like
a smoke screen and more like a spiler alert. Spiler alert.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
The league's remote control. The remote control is broken, the
mute button does not work. The NFL does not want this.
The NFL loves to give the illusion of reality.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Right like reality TV.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
It's the NFL draft is much like those h GTV
shows that are scripted.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Don't necessarily look scripted.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
However, you have the same outline on every one of
those shows. It's it's similar to that in the case
of the NFL draft. The draft that we see on
television and here on radio is several minutes behind the
actual draft, meaning that it doesn't time out. The picks
are in much sooner than they're announced. The teams know
(18:41):
what's going on in advance, and they give the perception
to those watching that it's going at one speed. It's
kind of like when you play back a podcast or something,
you can speed it up and it sounds really ridiculous
and all that.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
It's that kind of thing again. They want the drama
a rama.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
They would request the teams do not anounce who they're
going to pick at the top of the draft going
into it. And the Raiders, though, have been telegraphing this
for many many months. Here they're like a bad poker player.
They don't have a poker face. They don't.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
They tanked, which is an embarrassing thing.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
To the Raider brand. They did it. Nobody seems to
have a problem with it. They tanked to get the
top pick. You don't trade for Gino Smith unless you're
trying to lose. Every man, woman and child knows that.
And then he got out, you know, his highlight was given.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
The bird and all that. There were some things along
those lines.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
So they tried to lose, they lost, they got rewarded,
and now they have a chance to cash in their chips.
Here and John Spytech when he said, if we choose.
When he said that, he sounded like a Bond villain,
Like there's a Bond villain statement there. Yet, these scripts
already set in stone. It is already set in stone here.
(19:51):
And it's not really about conviction because I'm not buying
that the Raiders believe this kid Mendez is going to
be all that good. It's more, as we've said in
previous episodes, it's about fear. Fomo fomo is what it's about,
the fear of missing out. You pass on the shiny
Heisman Trophy winning quarterback and he turns out to be
(20:15):
halfway decent, you get then roasted like peanuts in oblivion.
All right, you are roasting nuts, is what you're doing there.
Congratulations Fernando Mendoza. Even if you think he's gonna be good,
you would admit he's raw, he's unrefined. At this point,
he's a project. This is not a plug and play situation.
(20:37):
The number one pick supposed to be a plug and play.
This guy's not it, which tells you he's not quality
as a number one pick. That if you have to assemble,
there's a problem. Right, It's not a top end furniture
store you're going to Ikea and you're using the Allen
wrench to try to put the thing together. And that's
(20:58):
not a great sign. And another dead dear right that
they don't trust him. They have the insurance policy that
is on the billboard there. That would be Kirk Cousins,
good old Kirk Cousins. No hedging, no hedging. Yeah, this
is this is not a pick Fernando Mendoza. It is
(21:20):
a pr campaign disguised as a football decision.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
It is the Ben Mallard Show.

Okay, blooming sax, is that correct? Yeah, Lamello Ball went
viral for trying to hug and then he ended up
punching the mascot of the Hornets. He was so excited
after the game he did hear old punch. So here

Speaker 2 (28:56):
Okay, too much and not enough. Let's welcome into our contestant.

The Charlotte Hornets increase their point differential from last year
by plus ten points.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Is that too much or not enough? Not enough? Let's
find out is James right? That is correct? Not enough?
Speaker 2 (30:27):
They went from a nine point one last season minus
nine point one to plus four point eight this season,
an increase of thirteen point nine, which is the largest
year over year increase in NBA history. Question number two
for hollering James on too much or not enough? Monday
was only the third time where two three time MVPs
(30:49):
each at multiple home runs in the same game, with
Aaron Judge and Mike Trout Yankees and Angels hitting two
home runs each.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
Is that too much or not enough? Too much? Let's
see if James right again? Oh my god, yeah, you're
right again. Too much?
Speaker 2 (31:07):
It's only the second time. The first was stand the
man in Roy Campanella cart.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Right, and then I tell you one.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Question number three, there were seven teams in the NBA
this season that averaged one hundred and nineteen points or more.
James to get that third question right? Is that too
much or not enough?
Speaker 1 (31:32):
Too much?
Speaker 2 (31:35):
Find out, James, you've already won the game. We're gonna
keep going here. That means but just he doing. We're
giving you a golden ticket, Ja, so let's keep going.
Question number four, Rudy Gobert has the most career wins
in the regular season and the playoffs against Nikola Jokicic
with twenty. Is that too much or not enough?
Speaker 1 (31:57):
Not enough? That's correct? James? Are you cheating?
Speaker 5 (32:11):
No?
Speaker 2 (32:11):
No, no, no, we're not. He's already got one. But
there's one more question. Here we go, last question, James,

Speaker 1 (32:34):
Last one? Hurry up. I need to go take a shower.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
There were fifteen players who played in all eighty two
games this NBA season, James, to sweep the board. Is
that too much or not enough?
Speaker 1 (32:47):
Too much? You sure about that? I'm just asking you?
Speaker 2 (32:54):
Are you sure the answer is you're sure.
Speaker 1 (32:59):

Speaker 6 (35:29):
You know, just don't be too overwhelming with your advances.

Oh is that? Are people overwhelming? Are they a little
over the top there? Yeah, they don't know any proper decord.
Speaker 3 (35:40):
Sure you communicate, communication is key.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
Well, some guys like to make a splash entry. They
like to be like the kool Aid man.
Speaker 3 (35:47):
I love a good surprise splash like.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
They like to break through the wall right now, because
you know, they figured a lot of guys will hit

mark a different way, you.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
Know, yucky.
Speaker 3 (36:00):
Anyways, all right, what have we got?
Speaker 2 (36:01):
I ferg Dog says, I'm making dinner at home for
a first date this weekend, and I need to know
do girls prefer the peanut butter on top or bottom
of the pbn j Okay.
Speaker 6 (36:16):
Well, your first mistake is having someone over for a
first date at your house. I've been watching a lot
of TikTok videos of girls who go on first dates
at homes to specifically steal from men. So you go
to the bathroom and they take your air fright.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
Really, there's a girl who has a whole hard to
say yes, And how do you steal an air fryer
in the purse?
Speaker 3 (36:35):
You unplug it and you walk out with it. You
don't got to take it in your berth. They wait
till you're in another room.
Speaker 6 (36:40):
Your video game consoles, DVD players. Be careful in fighting
random strangers into your hand.
Speaker 1 (36:45):
Yeah, no, you know you can't. Guys do that really?
Women come over? I thought women. You know, any woman that.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
Will come to your back in my day, I don't
know about now. You know it's been years, but any
woman that would come to your house right away was
generally not their long term If you don't I mean,
you know what I'm saying. Usually had it took a
while for that to happen. Yeah, a lot of public
appearances for that to happen, because I never had to
worry about someone coming to my house to steal anything.
So anyway, that's very impressive for it mentioned Ferdduck picking
(37:13):
up chicks.
Speaker 1 (37:14):
Yeah, I'm gonna look for you. Okay, that's exciting. I
want to surprise you.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
Okay, even better, And then they come over and it's
a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
Speaker 3 (37:21):
Sounds delicious. Actually, Now the.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
Key Lorraine as you know is you can't cut it
when you cut the peanut butter the other sandwich, you
can't cut it down the middle, cutting at an angle
the diagonal.
Speaker 1 (37:30):
Exactly.
Speaker 2 (37:31):
Yeah, it is a more impressive sandwich when you cut diagonally.
Mike writes in he says, what if right after your
work your boss asked you to go to the big game?
Would you be careful not to have too much fun
in case you showed up on the kiss fan cam.
Speaker 1 (37:46):
That's the question.
Speaker 6 (37:48):
I'm gonna go with my motto, you know you only
live every day?
Speaker 2 (37:52):
That's true, yo ed or something like only only yuli ed?
All right, Mike the leprechaun. Michael Different. Michael writes and says, Lorrain,
if you had an expansion sports team, what would you
name it? Great question, Michael, great question. What would you
(38:13):
name a sports team? Loraina?
Speaker 4 (38:14):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (38:14):
Good love advice.
Speaker 3 (38:15):
That's a good question. Actually we could, Oh.
Speaker 1 (38:21):
You would you go with something unique?
Speaker 3 (38:24):
It could be like the love gamblue.
Speaker 2 (38:26):
Team is named after socks. Imagine how exciting the world
was when we said we'll name our team the White
Sox or the Red Sox.
Speaker 3 (38:31):
What if we named it? I don't know if I
can say this if.
Speaker 2 (38:35):
You went in doubt, leave it out of the panty hose.
Let's go with the hose, the panty hose. No, we'll
say it all all right, very good Shane and des Moines,
says Lorena. Who are some of your female crushes?
Speaker 4 (38:50):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (38:51):
Of women that I love? Anna Hathaway, Oh, I love
her to death.
Speaker 6 (38:57):
Britney Spears used to be one, but now I worry
about her.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
She needs your love more now than never.
Speaker 3 (39:02):
A social distancing hug for her.
Speaker 1 (39:04):
Ok, I might get some penicillin after you, hugger, I understand.
Speaker 3 (39:10):
Oh my gosh. Who else do I love right now?
Speaker 2 (39:13):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (39:13):
Me?
Speaker 3 (39:13):
Aubrey Plaza?
Speaker 1 (39:14):
I love Aubrey JT.
Speaker 2 (39:16):
The Wingman rights. Sinceys, I'm trying to up my game
with the ladies. Should I take advice from hollering James
or Anthony and Louisiana?
Speaker 3 (39:24):
I would probably do Anthony Anthony?
Speaker 2 (39:27):
Okay, all right, Miranda's black boyfriend quickly says, Miranda is
my Tony Romo. Lorena is my Dak Prescott. How about that.
That's a legend from me back in the day. I've
heard from that account in a while. What he means,
I'll tell you off here
Playball.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
It's our number three, our number three, And here we
are on the diamond talking some baseball. The Dodgers have
taken the first couple of games against the lowly New
York Mets, who have lost seven games and row. The
story here, though, is the closer for the Dodgers?
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Does this?
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Dodger manager Dave Roberts explanation on not not pitching Edwin
Diaz against the Metropolitans his old team, past the smell test.
Also college football, how do you parse the words of
Marcus Freeman talking about Notre Dame's future as an independent.
There's been some people saying, well, they got to go
(00:42):
to a conference, and Marcus Freeman.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Spelling that out. We'll get to that.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Also, the NFL Raiders executives claiming the team will keep
the number one overall picking the draft. What's your read
on this one? We'll go there as well. Right now here,

it and this our little Hodgepodge. We'll start with some baseball.
The Doyers and the New York Mets. Good pitching matchup
at Dodgers Stadium. You had mister World Series MVP, Yoshinobu Yamamoto,
(03:11):
and the rookie phenom who couldn't get it done for
Team USA, and that World Baseball Classic Nolan McLain on
the mound. They dueled at the ravine through seven innings,
seven innings, Kyle Tucker hit a little duck snort. The
exit vlo on Kyle Tucker's hit was like fifty six,
(03:32):
and that really drove the Nerds nuts nuts because it.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Was supposed to be. It does nuts, but you're not
supposed to get a hit. When you don't at the ball,
it's not right as a Okay, that's baseball. That is baseball.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
So that happened in the eighth innings, drove in the
go ahead run and the Dodgers held on. They win
two to one over the lowly Mets. Who have now
lost seven straight in another season, and the Mets blow.
I'm old enough to remember when the Mets ownership changed
and we were told this guarantees, guarantees, the Mets are
(04:08):
going to be the crown jewel of the National League.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
How's that working at?
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Not so good.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
So the Mets have been outscored by twenty six runs
in their seven game losing streets. Now, I didn't play
professional baseball. I just happened to do an overnight talk show.
I believe that sucks. Oh, you're being mean. And who
is in the tuck us position in the National League East? Yes,
that would be the Mets. The Mets who are seven eleven.
(04:36):
That's their record, seven and eleven.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Yikes?
Speaker 2 (04:39):
All right now one of the more interesting storylines, the
reason I'm bringing this game up, something that didn't happen
has become a story.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Now, what is it? You know where I'm going with this?
Perhaps not so?
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Despite having a two to one lead going to the
ninth inning, a clear and obvious spot to bring in
your closer, Let's go to the bullpen and call my closer. Okay,
Dave Roberts didn't not, did not bring in all star
level closer Edwin Diaz instead going with Alec Vesia to
close out the game. Now, he denied the moment, and
(05:12):
it's all about the moment. He denied the moment, denying
that drama, the human emotion of sport. The of course
trauma would have been as Edwin Diaz came out of
the bullpen and the trumpets were playing, and the whole
thing there against his former Metropolitan teammates. He did not pished. Now,
(05:35):
Dave Roberts claimed that Diaz through a bullpen session prior
to the game and that meant he was unavailable. Because
Roberts didn't say this prior to the game, he said
this after the fact. He said, well, we couldn't have
gone with Diaz because of this. He said, there's no
concern with his knee or his arm or the what
you McCall it at all. So that is a good
(05:57):
jumping off point. Let us discuss the question. Does this
Dave Roberts explanation for not pitching Dodgers closer Edwin Diaz
against his old team past the smell test. So I've
got the ward leftover, meat loaf and remote control. Yeah,
(06:21):
we'll combine all of these together and we hope to
have the Midas touch.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
We want to have the Midas touch.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
So, first of all, this is a DC situation, as
in damage control, damage control, and it reeks of morning breath.
I'm talking full halitosis. Okay, something sends a little off here.
We know that Roberts and these guys lie all the time.
(06:47):
Lie Lie, Lie, Lie, Lie lie lie. So if everything
was kosher with Edwin Diaz, then what are we doing here?
Speaker 1 (06:59):
All right?
Speaker 2 (06:59):
And the bullpens? Why would you do a bullpen session?
And then he's not available against supposed contender The Mets
aren't playing well right now for the season, Like the
Mets are gonna be one of the top teams in
the Nation League and all this that you'd think you'd
want your guys there. You might do that when you're
playing the Colorado Rockies, not the Mets revenge game. No,
(07:23):
Timmy Trumpet didn't get that. We're doing blasting out of
the speakers at Dodger Stadium. That didn't happen. So is
there trouble in Paradise? Well, something's going on here now.
Diaz is thirty two, which is not ancient. However, you're
no longer a bulletproof when you're thirty two and the
early returns have not been good. Diaz has an earn
(07:45):
run average of over six. I watch, I think it's
exactly six, So it's a high earn run average. He's
only pitched in like a handful of games and all that.
That's all we have to do. We have to do
the show. All we have to judge him on. We
have to do the show today. The league last year
batted one sixty four against Edwin Diaz. So far this
year they're batting two fifty. Now, two fifty doesn't sound
(08:07):
that bad. However, when you're a relief pitcher and you
only face a handful of batters a game, and you're
used to getting a batting average in the one sixty range,
and all of a sudden it's two fifty, that seems
to be a rather large bumpety bump. That doesn't seem
like just variance. It's regression. There's some regression going on.
(08:28):
And you wonder, did the Dodgers by a lemon? Is
this guy a lemon? You don't know because it's too
early in the year. So what's happening is Diez dinged up?
Is he messed up? Is something going on. Here are
the Dodgers playing koy, I would not be shocked. The
(08:48):
Dodgers have a history of coddling their pictures and they do.
It's like they're at the ward, not that ward. I'm
talking about the maternity ward. They're like born babies of
these pitchers, and they spoil them. They do get treated
like children. The Dodgers are paying Blake Smell a lot
of money to be a gamer. They told them. I said,
(09:10):
let's take the first two months off, just come back
and pitch in the playoffs, so you can almost lose
the World Series for us. We'll pay a lot of money.
Just make sure you mentioned the Dodgers on those Twitch streams.
And Blake's like, sure, Bra, I'm bra, I'm risking my
live brawl. Sure, I'm not playing unless it get mine.
But I'll play the video games without the money. Well
I'm getting the money, so I will play the vide
games for the money. That's how that's gonna go. Yeah, exactly,
(09:31):
But no, the Dodgers. Any sign of trouble with these guys,
it drives me nuts. It drives me bonkers because I'm
easily driven to that place, and you know, straight to
the injury tent the Great Outdoors.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
That's how that goes. And here's the tell. If it
is a.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Quote mechanical issue, all right, why the secrecy? Usually the
soft launch before the il stint. That's the soft launch
before the il's smart money says, you don't hide a
healthy closer, especially because it's again it's the moment, it's
against his old team. Would have been good to see
(10:10):
how this went, and good drama. One run game. That's
a legitimate save as opposed to an illegitimate save.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
And that's that. Now. Secondly we bounce around.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
We promised you a Hodgepodge, and if I promise a Hodgepodge,
I am going to give you a Smorgesborg, not just
a Hodgepodge, a Smorgasborg.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
So we go to.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
College football, where the Golden Domers are making some news. Here.
The fighting Irish coach Marcus Freeman recently discussed the pros
and cons of the idea that Notre Dame would remain
independent or would they go to a conference. This is
(10:50):
seemingly a debate every couple of years. Should Notre Dame
be in one of these mega conferences? And it's not
exactly fair what's been going on with the fighting Irish?
Now the head coach boldly predicted No one could have
come up with his take other than Marcus Freeman boldly
predicted that Notre Dame would join a conference if if
(11:12):
the administration thinks they'll face a competitive disadvantage.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
That's the quote.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Now, Freeman blamed last year's snaffoo for Notre Dame, last
year's snaff who he blamed it on the two losses,
which is a non answer answer. So the question, how
do you parse the words? How do you parse the
words of Marcus Freeman talking about Notre Dame's future as
(11:41):
an independent? So spare me, I don't know about you.
Spare me the underdog bull crap, like this is some
kind of underdog cosplay.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Don't eat that.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Marcus Freeman talking about competitive disadvantage. That's his term, it's
not my term. That's his term, competitive disadvantage. And it's
like a billionaire complaining because the American Airlines flight he
was on only had peanuts. Well, okay, you're sitting in
first class. But they only had peanuts. But you're sitting
(12:15):
in first class, It's okay, you should have flown a
private jet.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Well, I tried it, I decided not to. But then
don't complain about the peanuts. That's it.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Notre Dame is not exactly last I checked, begging for
leftover meat loaf.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
They're not.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
They're dining on a Porterhouse steak at the head of
the table. In college football, the program has been college
football Royalty my entire life. In fact, it started about
one hundred years ago, which is a fair amount of time.
A fair amount of time, and a man that in
(12:50):
the mob they would say that's a made man. A
made man built the program in like a backroom deal
and this deal and brand power and all that stuff.
They start every season as rob Manfraud's wet dream. In baseball,
they are the ghost runner that starts out on third base.
(13:12):
Check all the boxes, national TV, check automatic automatic, national TV.
Un schedule flexibility. They can play whoever they want, whenever
they want, unlimited schedule flexibility. Playoff benefit of the doubt
baked it meaning that Notre Dame starts out as a
(13:36):
playoff team and they have to play out of the playoffs,
and they've.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Made it even easier going forward.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
They change the rule goes into effect next year to
make it even easier for Notre Dame football to get in.
So this is not some kind of disadvantaged competitive disadvantage. Obviously,
it is the opposite. It's the ultimate cheat code. It's
like the Astros banging on trash cans whistles back in
the day. It's really helpful. Helps you win a world series,
(14:04):
a bogus world series, it helps you win that. And
so it's it's not a burden. Independence is not a burden.
It is a loophole. It is protection. It's privilege. You
go out and join the Big Ten or the Southeastern Conference,
and suddenly you're just another team, a faceless, nameless team,
(14:24):
and you're right in the line of fire. You don't
get any more special treatment. You don't get the free
massages and the little things of soap. They don't leave
those in your bathroom anymore. And so Freeman is exposing
a flaw. There is a flaw here, and he's defending
the whole system.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Right. The only way there is one way Notre Dame
would go to a conference.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
The only way they would do that is if NBC
said we're out, and they could not get a similar
TV package. If the people at NBC said we're spend
and so much money and all this other stuff we
cannot afford. You know, we broke our budget on benny
versus the penny for a couple of years. We have
no money left. And if that happened and no one
else was willing to just buy the Notre Dame rights,
(15:12):
then they would say, well, why don't we join the
Big ten? Does anyone think that's gonna happen? And some
of these guys can plain the ratings aren't great for
Notre Dame football and all that, Clearly they're good enough
to keep the money coming in. And remember there's two
ways to make money in broadcasting live not podcasting, but
live broadcast, like real broadcasting, live radio or television. There's
(15:32):
the ratings which lead to advertiser dollars, and there's advertisers
that just blindly spend a lot of money on a
brand like Notre Dame because it's Notre Dame. So it's like,
if the ratings aren't great, it doesn't necessarily matter. It's
like a lot of sports radio stations, they don't in
some places, they don't get great ratings, so they're able
to sell it. As John Sterling, the Voice of the Yankees,
(15:55):
for many years. Told me on the Fifth Hour podcast
years ago, you got to sell the soap. A sells
a lot of soap, lots and lots of soap. You
know that, and I know I final thought, we go
to the NFL VVA Las Vegas, Viva Las Vegas.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
So are the Raiders going to say return de sender
on the.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Number one pick in the end, Well, it would appear
no that they are locked in baby On Heisman winner
and future NFL bust Fernando Mendoza, JaMarcus Russell without the
Purple Drink so GM. John Spytech, better known by his
(16:36):
nickname the sock puppet for Tom Brady College Buddies from Michigan.
So spy Tech who has the GM title. Even though
Tom Brady makes all the big decisions, He claimed that
other teams have interest in the top pick. Believe that,
but you know what that means? Said, though the Raiders
will use the pick. Without saying the Raiders will use
the pick, he said, quote, We've gotten a few calls,
(16:59):
and those teams know where they stand right now. There's
only one team that can get the exact person they want,
spy Tech said, and we have that option available to
us if we so choose. Okay, a question. The Raiders GM,
which is really Tom Brady, but the guy pretending to
(17:20):
be the GM, he gets to get to office and
take the bullets and all that. So the Raiders GM
John spy Tech claiming that the team will keep the
number one pick in the number What is your read
on this one? So my read on this one. Normally
this is the part of the monologue where I say,
(17:41):
let's go to the lie detective test and.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Not this time. No, no, no. This feels less like
a smoke screen and more like a spiler alert. Spiler alert.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
The league's remote control. The remote control is broken, the
mute button does not work. The NFL does not want this.
The NFL loves to give the illusion of reality.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Right like reality TV.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
It's the NFL draft is much like those h GTV
shows that are scripted.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Don't necessarily look scripted.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
However, you have the same outline on every one of
those shows. It's it's similar to that in the case
of the NFL draft. The draft that we see on
television and here on radio is several minutes behind the
actual draft, meaning that it doesn't time out. The picks
are in much sooner than they're announced. The teams know
(18:41):
what's going on in advance, and they give the perception
to those watching that it's going at one speed. It's
kind of like when you play back a podcast or something,
you can speed it up and it sounds really ridiculous
and all that.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
It's that kind of thing again. They want the drama
a rama.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
They would request the teams do not anounce who they're
going to pick at the top of the draft going
into it. And the Raiders, though, have been telegraphing this
for many many months. Here they're like a bad poker player.
They don't have a poker face. They don't.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
They tanked, which is an embarrassing thing.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
To the Raider brand. They did it. Nobody seems to
have a problem with it. They tanked to get the
top pick. You don't trade for Gino Smith unless you're
trying to lose. Every man, woman and child knows that.
And then he got out, you know, his highlight was given.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
The bird and all that. There were some things along
those lines.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
So they tried to lose, they lost, they got rewarded,
and now they have a chance to cash in their chips.
Here and John Spytech when he said, if we choose.
When he said that, he sounded like a Bond villain,
Like there's a Bond villain statement there. Yet, these scripts
already set in stone. It is already set in stone here.
(19:51):
And it's not really about conviction because I'm not buying
that the Raiders believe this kid Mendez is going to
be all that good. It's more, as we've said in
previous episodes, it's about fear. Fomo fomo is what it's about,
the fear of missing out. You pass on the shiny
Heisman Trophy winning quarterback and he turns out to be
(20:15):
halfway decent, you get then roasted like peanuts in oblivion.
All right, you are roasting nuts, is what you're doing there.
Congratulations Fernando Mendoza. Even if you think he's gonna be good,
you would admit he's raw, he's unrefined. At this point,
he's a project. This is not a plug and play situation.
(20:37):
The number one pick supposed to be a plug and play.
This guy's not it, which tells you he's not quality
as a number one pick. That if you have to assemble,
there's a problem. Right, It's not a top end furniture
store you're going to Ikea and you're using the Allen
wrench to try to put the thing together. And that's
(20:58):
not a great sign. And another dead dear right that
they don't trust him. They have the insurance policy that
is on the billboard there. That would be Kirk Cousins,
good old Kirk Cousins. No hedging, no hedging. Yeah, this
is this is not a pick Fernando Mendoza. It is
(21:20):
a pr campaign disguised as a football decision.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
It is the Ben Mallard Show.

by plus ten points.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Is that too much or not enough? Not enough? Let's
find out is James right? That is correct? Not enough?
Speaker 2 (30:27):
They went from a nine point one last season minus
nine point one to plus four point eight this season,
an increase of thirteen point nine, which is the largest
year over year increase in NBA history. Question number two
for hollering James on too much or not enough? Monday
was only the third time where two three time MVPs
(30:49):
each at multiple home runs in the same game, with
Aaron Judge and Mike Trout Yankees and Angels hitting two
home runs each.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
Is that too much or not enough? Too much? Let's
see if James right again? Oh my god, yeah, you're
right again. Too much?
Speaker 2 (31:07):
It's only the second time. The first was stand the
man in Roy Campanella cart.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Right, and then I tell you one.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Question number three, there were seven teams in the NBA
this season that averaged one hundred and nineteen points or more.
James to get that third question right? Is that too
much or not enough?
Speaker 1 (31:32):
Too much?

giving you a golden ticket, Ja, so let's keep going.
Question number four, Rudy Gobert has the most career wins
in the regular season and the playoffs against Nikola Jokicic
with twenty. Is that too much or not enough?
Speaker 1 (31:57):
Not enough? That's correct? James? Are you cheating?
Speaker 5 (32:11):
No?
Speaker 2 (32:11):
No, no, no, we're not. He's already got one. But
there's one more question. Here we go, last question, James,

Speaker 1 (32:19):
Okay, James, are you okay? I feel like you're You're okay?
Speaker 3 (32:29):

Okay? All right? Please?
Speaker 2 (32:34):
All right?

Last one? Hurry up. I need to go take a shower.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
There were fifteen players who played in all eighty two
games this NBA season, James, to sweep the board. Is
that too much or not enough?
Speaker 1 (32:47):
Too much? You sure about that? I'm just asking you?
Speaker 2 (32:54):
Are you sure the answer is you're sure.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
Okay, let's find out now you're I tried to help

Speaker 2 (36:01):
I ferg Dog says, I'm making dinner at home for
a first date this weekend, and I need to know
do girls prefer the peanut butter on top or bottom
of the pbn j Okay.
Speaker 6 (36:16):
Well, your first mistake is having someone over for a
first date at your house. I've been watching a lot
of TikTok videos of girls who go on first dates
at homes to specifically steal from men. So you go
to the bathroom and they take your air fright.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
Really, there's a girl who has a whole hard to
say yes, And how do you steal an air fryer
in the purse?
Speaker 3 (36:35):
You unplug it and you walk out with it. You
don't got to take it in your berth. They wait
till you're in another room.
Speaker 6 (36:40):
Your video game consoles, DVD players. Be careful in fighting
random strangers into your hand.
Speaker 1 (36:45):
Yeah, no, you know you can't. Guys do that really?
Women come over? I thought women. You know, any woman that.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
Will come to your back in my day, I don't
know about now. You know it's been years, but any
woman that would come to your house right away was
generally not their long term If you don't I mean,
