Speaker 1 (00:00):
Holy cow, it's our number three, our number three talking
Bay's ball at least here at the beginning of our
number three. Interesting story. Not every day a franchise legend's
wife decides to attack the head executive of a franchise.
That has happened in Boston. Give me your reaction to

(00:21):
Jason Veritec's wife taking some shots at the Red Sox
front office and the smartest man in baseball running the team. Also,
do you have sympathy for bobashet Now I only had
a big game on Monday, but it's been a miserable
start to the season for Bobaschett, his struggles overall. We're
not going to overreact to one performance, but he's been

(00:42):
bad for the Metropolitans. He had some comments about having
to adjust to playing with the new team and all that. Also,
how do you react to NBA players essentially saying they'd
prefer the bubonic plague then being traded to the Memphis Grizzlies.
We'll discuss that as well. And who knows what else?
Right now here, it is our number three. Watch out

(01:06):
for your wife, literally, watch out for your wife, not
my wife, your wife. Welcome In the beginning of another
hour of the Ben Mather Show.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
We are in the air, m rewaere me here and
you there, as we are the ultimate sporty sugar rush
coast to coast, border, the border and beyond on the
vast and astronomically powerful microphones of FSR, emmating live from

(01:40):
the machine, the vending machine of hot takes gaarn teed.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
Human from the world famous Fox Sports Radio studios. We're
far out Dave in Ohio, who skipped out on the
Big Malard meet and greet we did there in northern
Kentucky a couple weeks back, and he points out that
this show is made possible in part by our friends
at ti Iraq. For over forty years, ty Iraq has
been helping customers like Nick the Windy's Guy find the

(02:10):
right tires for how, what and where they drive, ship
fast and freeback by free road hazard protection, with convenient
installation options like mobile tire installation, tire iraq dot com
the way tire buying should be. And it's I believe
it was Alami Dlu. Yeah, it was Alami Lou that
reached out. He says that, hey, Ben, can you let
the people know about express I said you know, Alamdlu

(02:32):
you asked nicely. I will let the people know because
you and Fluffy Dave want to know about it. So
if you're skilled in manufacturing, skip the online job search nightmare.
Express Employment Professionals remember that name. Express Employment Professionals connect
skilled machinist, welders, and technicians with contract and full time

(02:53):
manufacturing jobs. That's Express Pros. Check it out, all right.
So our lead this is from Baseball Now Jerry our Palin,
Rhode Island, one of the senior members of the Malla militia,
and she wanted to make sure I saw so I
did see it. So we'll start out in Boston, where
a Red Sox franchise legend has indirectly unloaded on the

(03:19):
franchise that he is associated with for the rest of time,
helping to end the curse of the Banbino and all
that we're talking about. Jason Veritek now indirectly because it
didn't come from Jason Veritech. It came from the person
he is married to, his wife. Okay, so Jason Vertec's wife,
Catherine Veritech, took a shot at her husband's former team

(03:45):
and the man who leads the baseball operations department for
that team. Now ver Tech, who had been part of
the coaching staff, a Red Sox franchise legend from back
in the day. And it had been assumed when the
Red Sox were changed managers that Vera Tech would get
the job. He did not. They skipped over Veritech when

(04:05):
they whacked Alex Corra and they decommissioned Alice Cora as
the Red Sox manager, and they purged a bunch of coaches.
They just got rid of a bunch of guys. Team
started out ten and seventeen to start the year, and
one of the people that was let go was Jason Veritek.
And remember the Red Sox won a game like they

(04:28):
scored seventeen runs or whatever against the Orioles, and then
they whacked They decided to say bye bye to their skipper,
a bunch of coaches. So the Red Sox said that Veritech,
the franchise icon who was part of that team that
ended the eighty six year curse of the Banbino, the
Red Sox World Series drout many years ago, he would
be reassigned. Now Chief Baseball Officer otherwise known as a

(04:52):
GM Craig Breslo recently told reporters that there was an
open invitation, open invitation for Vera to remain with the organization.
What seems like Vera Tech likely not going to contact
Craig Breslow after his wife, Catherine went on social media

(05:13):
to shade to shade the Red Sox executive after a
Red Sox fan posted on social media asking for Jason
Veritech to come back to the Red Sox. And this
is where Veritech's wife said, quote, they have the smartest
man in baseball running the show. They'll be okay without Jason.

(05:39):
That's what they wanted. It's what's best for the team,
she wrote, and she included a smiling emoji, a nice
little smiley emoji. So that's good. Jumping out point. Let
us discuss the question. Give me your reaction to Jason
Vertek's wife taking shots at the head of the baseball

(06:00):
ops department there for the Boston Red Sox, the man,
as he said, the smartest man in baseball, Craig Breslo.
So my views, I've got hamper, big bus tour, and
swimsuit competition, and we will combine all of these things
together and we're gonna make a delicious chimney chunga, which

(06:22):
is a burrito, which is on like the next levels fried.
So it's just wonderful. So first of all, welcome to
the WW, not the WWE, the WW that would be
wife wars hell half no f fury like a wife scorned.
And as a talk show host, I love the drama
O rama. You know that I'm biased, you I have

(06:43):
a talk show to do, and I love the fact
that the wife is meddling with this. It's outstanding. The
drama O rama is the way to go now as
a husband, as someone who is married, this is pure
nightmare fuel right now. Years ago, when the company used
to spend a lot of money on their employees here
and we had big lavish parties back in the day.

(07:04):
And there was a famous company party where one of
the guys didn't get a raise that he thought he
was going to get. And it was this gallop party
and one of the big shots at the company who's
no longer with the company, was speaking and this guy's
wife had had an open bar, and this guy's wife

(07:25):
had had a couple too many, and so she starts
unloading on the president of the company. You know, she's
making sarcastic snide remarks under her breath. Everyone heard it there.
She thought she was using her inside voice. She was not.
She was using her outside voice. And that guy lost
his job out of that. And so I have nightmares
about this stuff now. Catherine Veritek taking shots at the

(07:47):
Red Sox front office is the spouse side state of
the union that nobody asked for it. But we're not
going to push back on it. We're not going to
push back on it. If the laundry is dirty, there's
a malarism. If the laundry is dirty, keep the hamper
closed right now, again, as the talk shows, make sure

(08:10):
you put all your clothes on the line there so
we can see everything you wear. Everything you're wearing right.
Boston does not need a guided tour of your dirty socks,
which is what they're getting. And so it does appear
there are two factions. There's the Craig Breslow is Great,
which is the John Henry ownership group that we love Breslow,

(08:33):
and then there's everyone else. It's like this guy's a
he's at dork and he don't know what he's doing. Now,
I've never met Craig Breslow. I don't know I don't
know anything about it. I just know from the feedback
I get from my guys in Boston that they don't
like him. They don't he's doing very good job and
all that stuff. The fact that the wife of Jason Veritec,
and that's what we're reacting to, got involved with this
firing shots. It's like the neighbor yelling at the HOA

(08:57):
meeting while her own law looks like a wildlife refuge.
Do you understand, like, well, you know you're part of
the group. I know you don't. Nobody likes hoa's They're horrible. However,
if you're at an HOA meeting complaining and your your
front yard looks like a wildlife refuge, you shouldn't likely

(09:17):
be the one complaining. I'm just saying. So, there's a
difference between defending your husband and auditioning for a speaking role.
Am I wrong on that? I don't think I am.
I am so Craig Bereszlo is already drowning. The Red
Sox have the twenty ninth ranked offense. I'm told that's
not good. When there's throw only thirty teams in your
ranked twenty ninth, that's not very good and she's so

(09:40):
we got Breslow drowning and she's out there throwing ice
cubes at him. Actually, this is actually what you're doing.
It's it's pretty funny. So ironically she made more contact
than half the Red Sox hitters have most of this
season just by by throwing those ice cubes in there.
And now Breslo he bet the house, and the Red
Sox organization bet the house on all all of these

(10:00):
young players, and you look at it, and so they
bet the house and all these blue chip young prospects,
and a prospect is a suspect until proven otherwise, and
they just can't hit, at least not right now. And
so now you add on to that Jason Veritek franchise
legend's wife taking curtain call shots like she's on the

(10:24):
payroll still, and she's not, although Veritech is still getting paid.
So this is not really commentary. It's collateral damage. And
the Finnway Fund Zone, the Finway Fund Zone officially very frigid,
very frigid, the Finway fundzo. Now, secondly, we go to
New York where the Metropolitans I'm actually playing Washington. They

(10:45):
put up a ten spot in extra innings so the
numbers a little skewed. Barbara Schett, who we're going to
talk about, had a big performance. But we're not gonna
be prisoners of the moment. We're not gonna be prisoner
of the mollment just because Bischett had a massive performance
against the the Natitude in DC. I know austr Chan
has bummed out and Rick and Maryland morning time because
the Nationals took it on the chin. Bobachett, well, he

(11:07):
did have a big game against the Nationals. Overall, he
has failed to live up to the three year, one
hundred and twenty six million dollar contract through the first
quarter poll of the baseball season. A quarteraway through the
baseball season, and he admits that he's having issues adjusting

(11:28):
to his new environment. He's having some issues there, so
he said, quote told Ken Rosenthal, quote there are a
lot of things I didn't anticipate, Bashett said, just dealing
with everything. New teammates, new organization, staff, the new fan base,
just everything, I think, he said. Bashett has been in

(11:48):
the lineup every day and Monday aside, it's been mostly
dreadful for Bobaschett with the Mets. So the question do
you have sympathy for Bobashett and his struggles for the
Metropolitans so far this year, so I have zero. The

(12:09):
tank is empty. Zero sympathy. I have none. And this
is not some kind of charity telethon. You know, you're
talking about a guy making forty seven million dollars to
hit and he's hitting like a backup infielder that only
plays on getaway days. Yeah, that's you. Never if you

(12:29):
only go to a couple of baseball games a year.
A little inside trick here, you should have known this already.
You don't want to go to getaway days, and you
don't want to go. You don't want to go when
the other team's top pitchers on the mountain, because that's
always when they rest that your local team will rest
all of their good players, so the guys save their stats. Anyway,
the Mets paid. They paid a lot of money for

(12:50):
a headliner, Bouco bucks for Bobaschhett to be a headliner,
and so far, for the most part, they've gotten a
guy writing the big Bus tour, those red busses through Manhattan,
hop on, hop off sight seeing, while the offense has
mostly circled the drain outside of that big performance on Monday,

(13:11):
but you look at it, and he was coming into
that game hitting two ten. He was the I believe,
the fifth worst player in ops in all of baseball,
bobershd and he talked about an adjustment period, and.

Speaker 3 (13:27):
I look at.

Speaker 1 (13:29):
What are we talking about here? Seriously? The Mets again,
they thought they were getting a big bopper, and for
the most part, they've just gotten a big bummer. And
I liked the player. I enjoyed watching Bobashett with the
Blue Jays, not so much against the Dodgers in the
World Series, but I like the way that he plays.
He's got a little swaggered to his game, and it's

(13:50):
just been terrible to watch him as City Field has
become a black hole for his power here. And I
hear those news around excuses, and I just I roll
my eyes when I hear that, and I'll tell you why,
all right, He's not studying abroad in Barcelona, bobas sheet.

(14:10):
They didn't send him to study in some foreign land.
Spring training started in mid February. It is mid May.
He's had three months to figure this stuff out. That
seems like enough time. There's plenty of time to unpack
the boxes, or he makes the kind of money you
have somebody else unpacked the boxes and find the barrel

(14:32):
of the bat, because clearly you haven't been finding much
of that. And the Mets loyaltists keep waving the back
of the baseball card of the baseball reference page and
they say, well, that's the gospel. Everything'll be fine. So
I told you he had a big game on Monday.
I told you Bobus's going to be fined. Yeah, yeah, okay,
Well I do know that these stats are it's kind

(14:53):
of like Wall Street and real estate. And as the
Great Dick Stockton taught metat's tell you what has happened,
not what's going to happen right now. For the most part,
Bobashet has been an over valued asset and mostly declining returns,
mostly declining returns. Here we'll see what happens. But for
the most part, the Mets have gotten the beta version
of what the Blue Jays got from Bobashett, and they're

(15:15):
waiting for the app store to update. They're waiting for that. Meanwhile,
we go back to pro bouncy Ball the conference finals.
We're going to talk about a team that's not in
the conference finals a team that sucks. But we're really
gonna go to the polling booth. That's what we're gonna do.
So the NBA player poll was conducted by the Athletic
that's a pay website part of the Old Gray Lady

(15:36):
the New York Times. So they had a league vide
vote via the Athletic and they asked players anonymously, which
team do you not want to get traded to? And
the answer the winner of the anonymous pole the Grizzlies.

(15:57):
What whoa yes? According to a league wide vote, Memphis
was named number one, number number one team that players
do not want to play for in the NBA. So question,
how do you react? Give me your reaction? How do
you react to NBA players essentially saying they would prefer
the bubonic plague then playing for the Grizzlies. So this

(16:22):
is another body blow, body blow, body blow for Memphis.
Remember Lebron James trash Memphis, Raymond Green trash Memphis, and
so Memphis keeps taking on these Haymakers. And this is
another Mollywop situation here from NBA players and the players.
They're treating Memphis like a speed bag in a boxing

(16:43):
gym and there's just and over is hitting it at
this point. It's not criticism. It's really a dog pile,
is what it is. And when our celebrity caller from Memphis,
who's working right now at the grocery store, called up
and we asked him about this, He's all, yeah, the
teamship moved to Nashville. Ah, I love it. Anyway, Listen,

(17:06):
I get some of it. You know, these guys all
want to play in La Miami or New York for
the most part, that's where they want to go. That said,
the way players talk, you'd think crossing into the state
of Tennessee, that part of Tennessee where Memphis is, requires
a technis shot and a travel advisory when you visit.

(17:28):
And I've been lucky enough in my life to travel
around most of the United States, and I've only been
out of the country very very little. But in the
United States, everywhere I've been, there's depends what towns. There's
always bad neighborhoods and there's also really good neighbors. As
I say, there's every town has a Beverly Hills, right,
every town has like the nicest part of town. Whatever.

(17:50):
Wherever you are, there's a part where all the rich
people live. Even in Memphis, there's a part where the
wealthy people of Memphis live, and there's apparently the crime
is high, that there're too big exports are barbecue and crime,
and right now crime is in the lead from what
I understand, but it is wild. The numbers are just
shocking now TV wise, it's Memphis is market number forty eight,

(18:11):
smaller than Albertquerque, New Mexico, Birmingham, Alabama, and Harrisburg, PA.
And they have a professional basketball team there. And the
thing that I never thought I would see in my
life is that Memphis did the unimaginable, the unthinkable. The
Memphis Grizzlies lost the least Desirable contest to Salt Lake City.

(18:35):
They are least They're less desirable than Salt Lake City,
which had always been the gold standard for I don't
want to play there, and we've now found and by
the way, Salt Lake was not even in the top
three in this. It's like losing a swimsuit competition to
a parking meter. Just put a bikini on a parking
meter and you lost to that, Like what are you doing?
And the NBA keeps trying to reassure everyone Memphis is great.

(18:58):
Although remember Adam Silver from somewhere out there in the
Milky Way. Adam Silver also said, hey, we play some
games in Nashville. I'm open to that, so, of course, unprompted,
when the end is oh yeah, Memphis is is great,
which tells you just about everything. The players keep responding with,

(19:19):
you know, it's like a FEMA briefing when they're there
and all that stuff. So it does feel like we're
heading towards a relocation situation, that they're going to be
the next team that relocates, and it's it's a sign
from the sports gods warning shots flares have been shot
up into the heavens. All right, is the Ben Mahlor

Your comments can and will be used against you in

back to it, And here's the riddle today. What do
Turkish basketball, Romanian soccer and the Nathan's Hot Dog eating
contest all have in common. That is the Mallard riddle
of the day. Let's see, does anyone know? King Roy

(22:31):
says it is what caused Aqua to break up. Clearly
they were all featured in the hit movie Shawshank Redemption
from ferg Dog. What do we have here? Lady Sideburns says,
they all got that musk about them. So says Lady Cyburns.
So three things that Andre the Giant was never involved with?

(22:55):
From alf Nick says, do more live reads? Yes? I agree,
less monologues and more commercials? Very important, very important? Nick?
What else do we have this? See? There are three
things no one watches on ESPN six. That's from Eke
in Roseville, Minnesota. Let's see, I can't read that. The

(23:18):
Late night drug tester says, all had a good time
by calling the number on the bathroom stall. Robbie the
Mariner fan clearly cheating, got it right, Bad job by him.
Who's your bill? Says he's going to go binge? Watch

Timmy in Busco, Indiana says the only reason people tune
in to any of them is to watch Joey Chestnut. Clearly,
Rebecca the ram fans as they all fart too much.
That's the answer. Johnny que says, they all suck. What
else we have? JT the wing Man says they are
all better than a call from Anthony in Louisiana. That's

(24:22):
what he said. I didn't say that, that's what he said.
All right, Loraina, do you have an answer? Loraena, do
you have an answer? Yeah? I was thinking they all
make you nauseous. They all make you nauseous. Is that
the answer? No, that is incorrect. It turns out that
Turkish basketball, Romanian soccer, and Nathan's hot dog eating contests
are all things that current Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Soresby

(24:43):
allegedly bet on and also obscured doubles, tennis matches and
Indiana Hoosiers football. He was at Indiana, he was in
the portals. He's got some explaining to do. All right,
let's go to the phones. I was gonna take a
guy who wanted to talk about the Grizzlies, but he
hung up. So instead we'll say hello to hollering James

(25:05):
in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Hello, hollering James, my shell. I feel
like he's on the phone here. I feel like he's
