The Philly Fanatic. Well, this is a crazy story. Our
number ford's The Ben Mal Show, Fifth Hour Podcast today.
Make sure to listen to that a little bit later.
I think you'll enjoy the episode. I hope you will.
I hope you will. Fifth Hour Podcast. It's a spin
off of this radio show. Also Benny Versus the Penny
at Benny Vspenny here in hour number four, give me
(00:21):
your school of thought on Philly's GM Dave Dombrowski questioning
Bryce Harper's elite status. Also, what chance do you give
Manny Ramirez of succeeding as a big league hitting coach?
It's a job he wants. And where are you at
on the leak that Mike Lombardi, Bill Belichick's right hand man,
traveled to the Middle East to get Saudi oil money
(00:42):
for North Carolina college football. Wow, we'll talk about all that.
Have a great weekend here. It is our number four.
A birthday to remember. Well, it depends how you look
at it. Welcome in the beginning of another hour of
The Ben Mal Show. We are in the air AmWhere Musketeers.

dot com. So we are back at it. The Overnight
had two baseball games yesterday. The Dodgers are on the
brink of advancing to the World Series, first time in
sixteen years. A team will have made it to the
World Series back to back years. The Brewers are currently
on life support and in addition to that, the Seattle
(02:25):
Mariners have gagged up to they've vomited up a two
game lead. Is now to to Toronto. Came back their
dominating that series and actually had a good Thursday night
game was not supposed to be a good Thursday night game,
but the Icy Hot Bowl was wonderful. Joe Flacco a
late drive, matriculating the ball down the field, game winning
field goal seven seconds left the Bengals with four hundred
(02:50):
and seventy yards of offense. Where have you gone iron
curtain defense in Pittsburgh? So Cincinnati pulls the upset there.
But this we're gonna lead off with a story out
of Philadelphia, and it's a good one. So Bryce Harper
turned thirty three, thirty three on Thursday, and he was
(03:12):
hit with a blind side tackle from his employer. At
least that's how it's being perceived, that's how it's playing out.
I mean, he saw this or not. It's possible that
you're like, I don't really care about that. I'm not
into that, you know, come on, let me explain it.
I thought it's a good story. So Dave Dombrowski, who's
worked for let's see if we can name all the teams.
(03:33):
So the Montreal Expos to the Florida Marland, Chicago White Sox,
Detroit Tigers, Boston Red Sox. He's with the Phillies now,
So Dave don Browski acknowledged that Bryce Harper. He said
he's still a quality player. Okay, he questioned though his
elite status? What whoa yeah? Quote from Dave don Browski.
(03:55):
He said, he's still a quality player. He's still an
all Star caliber player. Don Browski said of Pryce Harper,
he didn't have an elite season like he's had in
the past. Then the quote continues from Dombrowski, the longtime
baseball veteran who's been working in baseball since I think
the seventies. My god, can we rise or can he? Rather?
(04:16):
Can he rise to the next level? Dombrowski said, I
don't really know the answer. He's the one, meaning Bryce
Harper will dictate that more than anything else. Close quote.
All right, that's a good jumping off point. So let
us discuss the question. Give me your school of thought
on Phillies GM Dave Dombrowski questioning Bryce Harper's elite status.
(04:40):
So on this one, I've got mushrooms, junk bonds, and
magic dragon, and we will combine all of these things
together and we're gonna make a dish. Now, the plate's
gonna have a little Baba Gooche And then we're gonna
make some gaba ghoul. So we're gonna combine the baba
gooche and the goaba gooul, and that's the meal, all
right now, to lead off here, I love this story
(05:03):
and here's why. It is a rarity in modern sports.
And I often sit here on the bully pulpit in
the middle of the night while the world sleeps, and
I ran and raved like a lunatic because what we
get is this watered down, filtered conversation with people in sports.
And here's someone that actually told the truth. He said
the quiet part out loud. Dave don Browski essentially said
(05:26):
to the world that here's what's going on. It's something
that everyone with a functioning set of eyeballs a functioning brain,
even our blind listeners like Stevie Meatballs. No, Bryce Harper
was not an elite player in twenty twenty five, period stop.
Bryce Harper was not an elite player twenty twenty five,
(05:47):
period stop. This was not a love tap on his birthday.
This was a body blow. Body blow, body blow in
the back alley, is what It was. Not some casual
comment at a rotary club luncheon. Luncheon somewhere in the
Greater Delaware Valley. It was calculated. Dave Dombrowski again, the
guys at baseball lifeer dom Browski my entire life. I
(06:09):
remember hearing the name Dombrowski and baseball. He doesn't just
speak off the cuff. He doesn't like, you know, like
I speak off I do talk radio. I speak off
the cuff. I got four hours, I gotta talk every day.
He knows exactly what he's doing. And this is the
classic poke the bear motivation Harper in the postseason, and
(06:32):
what a dud it was for the fight in Fils.
They did that much fight. Bryce Harper hit two hundred
two hundred with zero home runs and zero RBIs in
the postseason. You had as many home runs and as
many RBIs, and so did I as Bryce Harper. That's
not the stuff of legend. That's not a superstar. That
is a three hundred and thirty million dollar ball player.
(06:53):
And you're saying, what happened? All right? So Don Browski,
he's like, all right, I want to do some psycho
bab here. He goes out there and he says, Bryce,
you either prove me wrong or you prove me right.
And he's not wrong. He listen. In twenty fifteen, Bryce
Harper's not walking through that door anymore. His ops this
(07:14):
past season, Bryce Harper the lowest it's been in almost
a decade. Twenty sixteen batting average, worst he's had since
before the twenty twenties, back way back in twenty nineteen.
I barely remember it. We mentioned he's thirty three, Bryce Harper.
That is the point of demarcation, and every man, woman
and child knows that is the point of demarcation. While
(07:34):
thirty three is certainly not older in the real world,
as we like to say in the sports world, you're
teetering on the brick. That's the point where your career
you start getting that knock and who's at the door. Oh,
it's knocking again. I better open the door. Oh a
third time. Oh it's father time. And now father time's
starting to warm up in the bullpen. Not called into
the game yet, but called just warm up a little bit.
(07:56):
You're not in the prime, you're in the hope. The
decline is a soft, gentle decline period of your career.
And the Phillies have him locked up through twenty thirty one.
That is, if my computer like mind is correct. One, two, three, four, five,
six more seasons of this contract, six with a full
(08:19):
ironclad no trade claws. Yikes, Now that inspired. That's the
inspiration for Dombrowski to break the unwritten code, and that
that's what Dombrowski did. Normally, you get fluff, you get
fluffy mcfluff, you get fluff, fluff, fluff fluff is what
you get. And sugar coated. Bryce is a great leader.
(08:40):
And it's you know, the numbers don't tell the whole story.
I love that one. Oh my god, that is so good.
You know, the numbers don't tell the whole story. He
does things that don't show up in the box score.
What doesn't show up in the box score? Exactly? Uh,
but they always go, we just love he's competitive, he's
got a fire. Yeah, that's good. He's he's a cornerstone.
(09:01):
He's a leader of men. You know that kind of thing.
Not here, not here. This was a breach of baseball's
polite society. And because it is so rare, we highlighted
here in a Mallard monologue. And it's a bombing run.
And what kind of bombs are you dropping? Truth bombs?
You're dropping truth rumps. It is strategic I call it
strategic scapegoating. The Phillies sucked at a time he cannot suck.
(09:25):
They choked in October, and they're watching the Dodgers. Who
are the Dodgers are playing the way the Phillies thought
they were going to play, right, they thought that, and
so you gotta have a fall, guy, gotta have a fall.
Bryce Harper is the face of the franchise. They've got
big decisions to make with people like Kyle Schwarber, who's
a free agent. So Don Browsei's like, all right, I'm
(09:46):
gonna plant the seed right now. I'm gonna be farmer Dave.
That's right, farmer Dave. Harper thrives on being doubted, and
he'll probably spend the off season lifting trucks with his
bare hands, like I'm kind of superhero, just to shove
it down Dombrowski's throat. And Dombrowski what he's doing is like, listen,
(10:08):
I'm giving you a doggie bag. What's in the bag.
It's a doggie bag of mushrooms. But they're special mushrooms. Well,
what kind of mushrooms are special? Not those kinds? Their
motivation mushrooms eat those mushrooms. And yeah, they're fungus, but
they'll motivate you. The only thing missing from Dave don
Browski holding up a holding up bix, I said, make
(10:30):
me luck step it signed Dave. If he held the
sign up with sandwich board said make me luck stupid,
signed Dave, that would have worked all right. Furthermore, here's
another Bonker story that I thought was just great, and
we go to the employment department of the show and
a Red Sox legend. I actually covered him briefly. He
(10:51):
came to the Dodgers when the Red Sox just gave
him away in a ridoculous period of time. But he's
a Red Sox legend. Manny Ramirez and Manny, through his agents,
they have used a useful idiot in the media to
get the word out that many would like to be
a hitting coach. Now, Manny has as much experience as
(11:15):
a hitting coach as you and I have, but he
would like to be a major league hitting coach. Apparently
is not interested in going down to Sheboygan or Rancho Kucamonga.
He wants to go to the big leagues and serve
as a hitting coach, and he wants to bring according
to his agent. He wants to bring his greatness to
teach the young guys. Okay, question, what chance do you
(11:39):
give Manny Ramirez of succeeding if he does end up
becoming a major league baseball hitting coach. Now keep in
mind he does not have a job yet. Now we
know going into this that Manny Ramirez used a bat
like he was using witchcraft in Salem. He could hit
a slider the way a raccoon can open up a
sealed track can. However, here's the problem. What kind of
(12:04):
instinct that Manny has, whatever special ability that he has,
whatever you want to call the thing that he has,
he does not translate into instruction, like, is Manny gonna
teach a class Manny one oh one? Manny being Manny?
Is that what he's gonna do? That's not a curriculum. Now,
(12:24):
the Malard Sports book gods on Manny Rombers. If he
is a get the job, he has to get the job, obviously,
but succeeding I'll say it plus five thousand, which is
about a two percent chance, and honestly, that feels generous.
Great hitters are often junk bonds. When they become coaches,
they're junk bonds. Or go Barry Bonds. They're sexy on paper,
(12:48):
it sounds really good. Dumb low information fans get all
the gall horny on social media, on radio shows, Oh
we hired you know Joe Blow. He was really good
twenty years ago, and then when the season begins, there's
no return zero and the comps are absolutely brutal. I
mentioned junk Bonds because one of the all time great flops,
(13:12):
Barry Bonds. You might not remember it, but Barry Bonds
was hired as the hitting instructor for the Marlins, and
the Marlins were like, this is the worst thing. He
was like not interested, he was bored. He stayed in
the clubhouse. He didn't. It was a total flop. He
basically became the clubhouse house plant Barry Bonds. When he
was in Miami. Ted Williams, the splendid splinter, couldn't get
(13:34):
guys to understand his brain when he was with the
Washington Senators years ago. And the greatest hitter I ever
saw in my lifetime, Tony Gwynn, mister Podrey, he was
briefly the hitting coach for the Friars, and that team
he was the hitting coach for couldn't water if they
fell out of a boat in the middle of the Pacific.
And Manny many Ramiers is the same guy who once
(13:55):
told reporters he couldn't remember which leg was sore well
with great steps about twenty year years ago. That was
with the Red Sox. And that's not exactly Coach of
the Year energy, But Manny's older. Now, you know, that's
the guy who might show up late and teach lock
launch angles using some kind of dance routine, you know
(14:15):
that kind of thing. And player Alaska, Manny, Hey, Manny,
how do you hit the curveball? Well, man what I
do is I take this little shot of estrogen. Well
why would you do that? Are you crazy? And Manny's response,
trust me, bro, that'll be his response. Now, teams don't
want don't want a nostalgia tour. They want someone, I
would assume, who can break down the swings and use
(14:38):
all the four K technology and all the bull crap
that they're suckered into spending on hitting. And if you
want story time, just have Manny do a podcast or
a radio show. He can tell stories all day and
all night. Now, last thing, we pivot away from baseball
and we go to Chapel Bill, which is in Chapel Hill,
where our friend Speccoli is. He was complaining, I saw Spacoli,
(15:01):
I was scrolling social media, was complaining about the the Bengals.
Uniforsey had a whiteout last night and the Bengals they
were the all white and he said they looked like
ranch dressing. I said, well, what kind of ranch dressing
has black spots in it? That's probably not good ranch dressing. Anyway,
we have learned that Bill Belichick's right hand man North
(15:22):
Carolina JM. Mike Lombardi, the podcast guy, Well, he left
the team in August, a couple of weeks before the season.
The corner of the report to travel to what do
you think he traveled? Do you think he was on
a recruiting mission to Walla Walla, Washington or Kalamazoo, Michigan.
No corner the report Mike Lombardi got on a plane
(15:45):
and traveled to Saudi Arabia ding Ding Ding Ding ding
ding ding ding ding ding Ning. Yes, that that Saudi
Arabia to fundraise question where where are you at? On
a story that was obviously leaked to the media that
Mike Lombardi, representing the Tar Hills, traveled to the Middle
(16:09):
East to get that Saudi oil money for Bill Belichick
in North Carolina. So this is an interesting story. And
the reason it's interesting is obviously you've got big oil,
You've got the Middle East and all that goes on there, good,
bad and ugly, and you've got North Carolina. Mike Lombardi
is Bill Belichick's conciliary, right He's the secret keeper for Belichick.
(16:34):
So Belichick sending his conciliary over there, he randomly packs
up his briefcase Lombardi a couple of weeks before the
season opener and takes a field trip to Saudi Arabia.
Not to Pennsylvania to scout a linebacker, not to Ohio
to look at an offensive lineman. No, Saudi Arabia. Why
because he was trying to get some money for nil
(16:55):
for North Carolina. That's the rumor, you know, That's what
I'm hearing.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
And and like that's like.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
What are we doing? You know, I mean, what do
we do? This is not a back room cigar lounge.
This is panhandling in Riad Who does that? And do
not kid yourself by the way, Like, do I get this?
This was not leaked by accident. This is giving the
same vibe that John Gruden got when he was coaching
(17:22):
the Raiders. Remember the Gruden story, and there was a leak,
big leak of dirt on John Gruden. He then coached
a game for the Raiders. Because it didn't work, the
Raiders didn't fire him. So then there was another news
dump and then the Raiders forced John Gruden out as coach.
John Gruden now suing the Raiders in the NFL, and
(17:45):
that case could go all the way to the Supreme Court.
So that's what this feels like to me at this point, right,
It's that vibe it was. It was not leaked by accident.
You don't just wake up one morning and the Mike
Lombardi to Saudi Arabia story where he magically appears on
your phone. This was the word is tactical. Okay. That
(18:06):
is a surgical leak, a scalpel right into Bill Belichick's reputation, right,
another bombing run. And this was to chip away, chip chip,
chip chip at the hoodie. Now, this is the second wave,
second wave of negative Belichick stories in a couple of weeks.
(18:26):
First there was the culture. The players don't like it.
The parents are unhappy, players, coaches are planning to leave,
and now that didn't work. So now it's North Carolina
Belichick sending his buddy, his again, the guy that's his conciliary, Lombardi,
over to the Middle East to get some Saudi oil money.
(18:47):
Are they gonna become Saudi Oil you? Is that what
they're gonna become? Yeah, So they're not leaking this to
make Lombardi look bad. He already looks bad. They're leaking
this to make Belichick look like a desperate guy who's
drowning and desperately trying to get money anyway he can't,
he'll go anywhere, and he's got no morals and all that.
(19:08):
And Belichick's, essentially, according to the story's like he's sending
his guys to hang out with Piff the Magic Dragon.
When I say Piff, that's the Public Investment Fund, which
all of these American sports leagues are houring themselves out
to Saudi Arabia to get their hands on that money,
all right, And that's what this is. They're not passing
the hat around at the local booster barbecue on a
(19:32):
Saturday saying, hey, boys, can you send us some money? No,
the Pith the Magic Dragon. At last report, it was
over nine hundred billion with a B. That is how
when you buy gas, they're getting your money. That's how
much the public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia is worth.
They got so much money they don't what to do
(19:53):
with it. All right, so I will spend a bunch
of it in the US and we'll change our reputation
around and all that stuff. North Carolina went from getting
money at local like bakestore bake sales in Wilmington, North Carolina, right,
and and now they're begging the Crown Prints saying, hey,
(20:13):
can you give us a couple of million? We got
some nil guys we want to bring in for Belichick.
It's now, it's not unprecedent. It's not unprecedent. Dion Sanders
had one of the Colorado cronies over there last year.
I remember talking about that on the radio show. But
the Saudis are the new booster club of college football.
(20:34):
Like this is the modern college wall. There's no shame,
there's no like line, there's no like moral compass. And
it's just like they got money and they're offering to
give us money, and we want money, and you know,
we'll go and we'll hang out in Riot and we'll
stay at a nice hotel and they'll we'll kiss their
ass and they'll give us some money. And so you know,
(20:54):
it's how slimy can you get? How slimy can get? Now,
technically it's not illegal, right, it's not illegal. Uh, it's
just the optics thing. And the fact that North Carolina
did not advertise this tells you they didn't want this
to get out, right, They wanted to keep this on
the DL, the down low. And so this is leaked.
This has been leaked again. It's my theory that it's
been leaked, my opinion that has got leaked to screw
(21:14):
over Belichick because Belichick's operation is already under the microscope
it is, and now you've got his right hand man
jetting off to the Middle East to shake down an
oil chic for nil money. And it just makes you
want to take a shower. It's gross. And Lombardi's shaking
hands with sovereign wealth guys, probably pitching them like, hey, listen,
(21:37):
you give us like fifty million dollars. I have the
coolest powder blue tar Hill Polo. I'll send you boys
these tar Hill Polos. They're so good. I even will
throw a North Carolina hat, a powder blue North Carolina hat,
and I'll give you seats. If you want to come
to a game, I'll get you some box seats. What
do you say? Okay, good done deal. It is the

I just wanted to call I'm a first time, long time,
and I really appreciate uh your esoteric approach to UH
to sports talk radio. I drive mostly through the nights,
but every once in a while I have to do
the dreaded day shift and everybody's off Ducky and Bunny,
and it's just it's just nice and refreshing to have
you to listen to overnight.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Oh, thank you. I appreciate that very kind of. It's different,
you know, as I say, radio between six am and
six pm much different, much different than radio from six
pm to six am. Much different. Animal, Yes, it's different.
Speaker 7 (27:00):
Anyway, I won't take up too much of your time,
but I'd like to call back and become part of
the militia at some point here.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
So all right, yeah, absolutely to now, where where are you?
Are you based in Minneapolis or do you drive all
over where you where you at?
Speaker 8 (27:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (27:13):
Yeah, I'm based in Minneapolis, but I drive regionally, so
I'm all basically North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, Wisconsin, those areas.
So right now I'm in Des Moines, just swapping trailers,
and then I'm heading back to Minneapolis to go home

Speaker 10 (29:51):
Away, Thank you, Marcel, great toss. As always, all right,
we are going to start in the theaters as we
always do here Coopscoop on Entertainment. And there's a couple
of movies that I want to point out that come
out this weekend that I'm interested in, and they're both
horror movies, which makes sense for October. The first one
is a sequel Black Phone two. Yes, the movie from
(30:13):
four years ago. If you well, spoiler alert, it's a
four year old movie. He kills his abductor in the
first movie, and now he is back from the grave
to get his revenge.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
That's cool. How do you come back from the grave.
I'd like to do that some day.
Speaker 10 (30:28):
Oh, you know, horror movies they do that. But yes,
Ethan Hawk reprises his role as the Grabber.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
Ooh, the Grabber.
Speaker 9 (30:37):
You watch out for him on the stairs. Huh. Okay.
Also out in theaters over there, I moved him into
his cage. I think I almost made him die. Kept
him in the coffee cup too long, all right.
Speaker 10 (30:53):
Also this weekend is Frankenstein, Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Yes, this special. I said, a blue Frankenstein or like
red Frankenstein or a gold Frankenstein.
Speaker 9 (31:06):
And I don't think there's anything weird about it.
Speaker 10 (31:09):
Okay, Yeah, but this adaptation stars Oscar Isaac as Doctor
Frankenstein and Mia Goth, the scream Queen, is in this
movie as well as Christoph Waltz, so for them.
Speaker 9 (31:24):
Yeah, check that one out.
Speaker 10 (31:26):
This one's getting rave reviews in theaters and moving over
to television.
Speaker 9 (31:32):
You know how in TV when.
Speaker 10 (31:34):
This one production company does something and then you just
you tend to see like all the other production companies
coming out with their version of the same thing.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Yeah, yeah, for sure, topcat. Yeah, it's like you go
to everyone's got like chicken, like chicken sandwiches at all
the fast food restaurants because.
Speaker 9 (31:49):
It's yes, yes, exactly exactly.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
We talked about it last week in my podcast. Did
you know that what's that chicken place? The fast food place?
You know, what I'm talking about Zaxby's. It's It's a
fish place.
Speaker 9 (32:02):
Oh long, John Silvers, how they rebranded the Chicken.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
Yes, go to a Chicken.
Speaker 6 (32:07):
I know.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
It's a good Yes.
Speaker 7 (32:12):
Well.
Speaker 10 (32:12):
So the the hot thing right now in TV is
serial Killer John Wayne Gayzy.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Oh big, people love this guy.
Speaker 9 (32:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (32:21):
So I talked about how the The Monster series on
Netflix that debuted last week got terrible reviews. I've heard
it's like comically bad, like one of those so bad
it's like you actually want to watch it because it's ridiculous.
But this what premiered today on Peacock is a Devil
in disguise John Wayne Gaysey, And so this one's actually
(32:42):
getting good reviews. So if you want, I guess an
actually good adaptation of the The Clown serial Killer, check
that out on Peacock right now.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
Don't go to the basement, whatever you do.
Speaker 9 (32:53):
Yes, that's right.
Speaker 10 (32:55):
Also available right now is the third season of the
Emmy nominated The Diplomat on Netflix, starring Kerrie Russell. It's
a great show. I've watched the first two seasons. I
am excited about that. If you like spy political dramas,
that's uh, you know, right up right up your alley
and then moving on, I'm gonna skip ahead to this
(33:16):
last thing here, Ben. We have a documentary series we
got that is is available right now on Apple TV Plus.
And I don't know if you would like this, Ben,
because it's you hate the hero worship stuff.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
I do not like hero worship.
Speaker 4 (33:31):
I don't do that.
Speaker 10 (33:32):
But this is a limited documentary series called Mister Scorsese,
and of course it is.
Speaker 4 (33:38):
Uh.
Speaker 10 (33:39):
It is a five part look at one of the
planet's most famous directors, Martin Scorsese, and it has interviews
with him as well as his collaborators and colleagues, including
Robert de Niro, Leonardo DiCaprio, Spielberg, Daniel Day, Lewis, Kate Blanchette,
et cetera, et cetera. And it's got ptty good reviews.
(34:01):
So that is available right now on Apple TV.
Speaker 9 (34:04):
But oh actually there.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
Wait, there's more. Well wait, there's more.
Speaker 10 (34:07):
It's not another thing, but I was about to say
it's available right now on Apple TV Plus. Apparently they
are rebranding. They're getting rid of the Plus. It's just
going to be Apple TV now.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
Oh well yeah, because it's remember when HBO started their
other thing but then they went back to the JBO
because it was so stupid.
Speaker 9 (34:22):
Yeah, everybody's simplifying.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
Now, you got to be keep it stupid man. People don't. Yeah,
I'm not going to sit there and worry about your
stupid channel.

Speaker 1 (36:59):
Okay, it takes two. I will name the quarterback. Tell

That is correct, Jerry Rice. All right, four hundred dollars.
He's a multi time MVP. He's currently hurt right now

Mark Andrews. Yeah, I'll name a quarterback. Tell me the

It's on the Ben Malors Show every Friday, and let's
(38:15):
go for six hundred dollars. I'll name the quarterback. Tell
me the receiver. Longtime Lion and Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford.
Matthew Stafford, Yes, Justin. I feel like Justin's phone is
not working properly.
Speaker 9 (38:33):
He there, Justin.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
I think Justin has gone into a swamp. We have
a backup. I just go to the back of who's
the backup?
Speaker 6 (38:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (38:45):
You got it right? All right, Calvin Johnson. Next question,
it takes two, all quarter I'll name the quarterback. Tell
me the receiver that the most touchdown passes. Longtime Charger
and Saints quarterback Drew Brees. Drew Brees, all right, that's
(39:05):
not what we're looking for anything, all right, Marcus Colston.
You guys remember Marcus Colston, wide receiver for the Saints.
All right, thousand dollars. I'll name the quarterback, and you
tell me the receiver that caught the most touchdown passes
from that quarterback. He's a Chicago legend from the eighty
five Bears. Jim McMahon, Jim McMahon, anybody. This guy was
(39:29):
really fast. This receiver was like played for the Raiders.
Also was in the Olympics, I believe. Now, all right, wow,
what's that?
Speaker 2 (39:38):
Coop?
Speaker 9 (39:40):
Just sounds surprised. Lots of lots of clues.
Speaker 1 (39:42):
Yeah, Willie Galt. Willie Galt was who really? Okay, you
guys are terrible. Let's go to the next category. Cards

is the category for two hundred dollars. This former Olympian
is an avid poker player, but he's never cat that
the World Series of Poker event. That's okay, though he is.
(40:03):
He has more gold medals than anyone else all time.
Speaker 7 (40:07):
Jed, Jed, My god, dude, he's on the spectrum.
Speaker 1 (40:13):
He's not okay, alright, alright, jeez, I got that one right.
Let me last one quickly. Let's go to the thousand
dollars question. A lot of people talk about Jodomagiel's hitting
streak as an unbeatable record, But this Hall of Famer
had fifty nine consecutive scoreless innings likely will not ever
be topped anybody for the Dodgers. No, it's oh je jed,
(40:43):
oh my go, are you kidding me? Oh my god,
The Philly Fanatic. Well, this is a crazy story. Our
number ford's The Ben Mal Show, Fifth Hour Podcast today.

off of this radio show. Also Benny Versus the Penny
at Benny Vspenny here in hour number four, give me
(00:21):
your school of thought on Philly's GM Dave Dombrowski questioning
Bryce Harper's elite status. Also, what chance do you give
Manny Ramirez of succeeding as a big league hitting coach?
It's a job he wants. And where are you at
on the leak that Mike Lombardi, Bill Belichick's right hand man,
traveled to the Middle East to get Saudi oil money
(00:42):

dot com. So we are back at it. The Overnight
had two baseball games yesterday. The Dodgers are on the
brink of advancing to the World Series, first time in
sixteen years. A team will have made it to the
World Series back to back years. The Brewers are currently
on life support and in addition to that, the Seattle
(02:25):
Mariners have gagged up to they've vomited up a two
game lead. Is now to to Toronto. Came back their
dominating that series and actually had a good Thursday night
game was not supposed to be a good Thursday night game,
but the Icy Hot Bowl was wonderful. Joe Flacco a
late drive, matriculating the ball down the field, game winning
field goal seven seconds left the Bengals with four hundred
(02:50):
and seventy yards of offense. Where have you gone iron
curtain defense in Pittsburgh? So Cincinnati pulls the upset there.
But this we're gonna lead off with a story out
of Philadelphia, and it's a good one. So Bryce Harper
turned thirty three, thirty three on Thursday, and he was
(03:12):
hit with a blind side tackle from his employer. At
least that's how it's being perceived, that's how it's playing out.
I mean, he saw this or not. It's possible that
you're like, I don't really care about that. I'm not
into that, you know, come on, let me explain it.
I thought it's a good story. So Dave Dombrowski, who's
worked for let's see if we can name all the teams.
(03:33):
So the Montreal Expos to the Florida Marland, Chicago White Sox,
Detroit Tigers, Boston Red Sox. He's with the Phillies now,
So Dave don Browski acknowledged that Bryce Harper. He said
he's still a quality player. Okay, he questioned though his
elite status? What whoa yeah? Quote from Dave don Browski.
(03:55):
He said, he's still a quality player. He's still an
all Star caliber player. Don Browski said of Pryce Harper,
he didn't have an elite season like he's had in
the past. Then the quote continues from Dombrowski, the longtime
baseball veteran who's been working in baseball since I think
the seventies. My god, can we rise or can he? Rather?
(04:16):
Can he rise to the next level? Dombrowski said, I
don't really know the answer. He's the one, meaning Bryce
Harper will dictate that more than anything else. Close quote.
All right, that's a good jumping off point. So let
us discuss the question. Give me your school of thought
on Phillies GM Dave Dombrowski questioning Bryce Harper's elite status.
(04:40):
So on this one, I've got mushrooms, junk bonds, and
magic dragon, and we will combine all of these things
together and we're gonna make a dish. Now, the plate's
gonna have a little Baba Gooche And then we're gonna
make some gaba ghoul. So we're gonna combine the baba
gooche and the goaba gooul, and that's the meal, all
right now, to lead off here, I love this story
(05:03):
and here's why. It is a rarity in modern sports.
And I often sit here on the bully pulpit in
the middle of the night while the world sleeps, and
I ran and raved like a lunatic because what we
get is this watered down, filtered conversation with people in sports.
And here's someone that actually told the truth. He said
the quiet part out loud. Dave don Browski essentially said
(05:26):
to the world that here's what's going on. It's something
that everyone with a functioning set of eyeballs a functioning brain,
even our blind listeners like Stevie Meatballs. No, Bryce Harper
was not an elite player in twenty twenty five, period stop.
Bryce Harper was not an elite player twenty twenty five,
(05:47):
period stop. This was not a love tap on his birthday.
This was a body blow. Body blow, body blow in
the back alley, is what It was. Not some casual
comment at a rotary club luncheon. Luncheon somewhere in the
Greater Delaware Valley. It was calculated. Dave Dombrowski again, the
guys at baseball lifeer dom Browski my entire life. I
(06:09):
remember hearing the name Dombrowski and baseball. He doesn't just
speak off the cuff. He doesn't like, you know, like
I speak off I do talk radio. I speak off
the cuff. I got four hours, I gotta talk every day.
He knows exactly what he's doing. And this is the
classic poke the bear motivation Harper in the postseason, and
(06:32):
what a dud it was for the fight in Fils.
They did that much fight. Bryce Harper hit two hundred
two hundred with zero home runs and zero RBIs in
the postseason. You had as many home runs and as
many RBIs, and so did I as Bryce Harper. That's
not the stuff of legend. That's not a superstar. That
is a three hundred and thirty million dollar ball player.
(06:53):
And you're saying, what happened? All right? So Don Browski,
he's like, all right, I want to do some psycho
bab here. He goes out there and he says, Bryce,
you either prove me wrong or you prove me right.
And he's not wrong. He listen. In twenty fifteen, Bryce
Harper's not walking through that door anymore. His ops this
(07:14):
past season, Bryce Harper the lowest it's been in almost
a decade. Twenty sixteen batting average, worst he's had since
before the twenty twenties, back way back in twenty nineteen.
I barely remember it. We mentioned he's thirty three, Bryce Harper.
That is the point of demarcation, and every man, woman
and child knows that is the point of demarcation. While
(07:34):
thirty three is certainly not older in the real world,
as we like to say in the sports world, you're
teetering on the brick. That's the point where your career
you start getting that knock and who's at the door. Oh,
it's knocking again. I better open the door. Oh a
third time. Oh it's father time. And now father time's
starting to warm up in the bullpen. Not called into
the game yet, but called just warm up a little bit.
(07:56):
You're not in the prime, you're in the hope. The
decline is a soft, gentle decline period of your career.
And the Phillies have him locked up through twenty thirty one.
That is, if my computer like mind is correct. One, two, three, four, five,
six more seasons of this contract, six with a full
(08:19):
ironclad no trade claws. Yikes, Now that inspired. That's the
inspiration for Dombrowski to break the unwritten code, and that
that's what Dombrowski did. Normally, you get fluff, you get
fluffy mcfluff, you get fluff, fluff, fluff fluff is what
you get. And sugar coated. Bryce is a great leader.
(08:40):
And it's you know, the numbers don't tell the whole story.
I love that one. Oh my god, that is so good.
You know, the numbers don't tell the whole story. He
does things that don't show up in the box score.
What doesn't show up in the box score? Exactly? Uh,
but they always go, we just love he's competitive, he's
got a fire. Yeah, that's good. He's he's a cornerstone.
(09:01):
He's a leader of men. You know that kind of thing.
Not here, not here. This was a breach of baseball's
polite society. And because it is so rare, we highlighted
here in a Mallard monologue. And it's a bombing run.
And what kind of bombs are you dropping? Truth bombs?
You're dropping truth rumps. It is strategic I call it
strategic scapegoating. The Phillies sucked at a time he cannot suck.
(09:25):
They choked in October, and they're watching the Dodgers. Who
are the Dodgers are playing the way the Phillies thought
they were going to play, right, they thought that, and
so you gotta have a fall, guy, gotta have a fall.
Bryce Harper is the face of the franchise. They've got
big decisions to make with people like Kyle Schwarber, who's
a free agent. So Don Browsei's like, all right, I'm
(09:46):
gonna plant the seed right now. I'm gonna be farmer Dave.
That's right, farmer Dave. Harper thrives on being doubted, and
he'll probably spend the off season lifting trucks with his
bare hands, like I'm kind of superhero, just to shove
it down Dombrowski's throat. And Dombrowski what he's doing is like, listen,
(10:08):
I'm giving you a doggie bag. What's in the bag.
It's a doggie bag of mushrooms. But they're special mushrooms. Well,
what kind of mushrooms are special? Not those kinds? Their
motivation mushrooms eat those mushrooms. And yeah, they're fungus, but
they'll motivate you. The only thing missing from Dave don
Browski holding up a holding up bix, I said, make
(10:30):
me luck step it signed Dave. If he held the
sign up with sandwich board said make me luck stupid,
signed Dave, that would have worked all right. Furthermore, here's
another Bonker story that I thought was just great, and
we go to the employment department of the show and
a Red Sox legend. I actually covered him briefly. He
(10:51):
came to the Dodgers when the Red Sox just gave
him away in a ridoculous period of time. But he's
a Red Sox legend. Manny Ramirez and Manny, through his agents,
they have used a useful idiot in the media to
get the word out that many would like to be
a hitting coach. Now, Manny has as much experience as
(11:15):
a hitting coach as you and I have, but he
would like to be a major league hitting coach. Apparently
is not interested in going down to Sheboygan or Rancho Kucamonga.
He wants to go to the big leagues and serve
as a hitting coach, and he wants to bring according
to his agent. He wants to bring his greatness to
teach the young guys. Okay, question, what chance do you
(11:39):
give Manny Ramirez of succeeding if he does end up
becoming a major league baseball hitting coach. Now keep in
mind he does not have a job yet. Now we
know going into this that Manny Ramirez used a bat
like he was using witchcraft in Salem. He could hit
a slider the way a raccoon can open up a
sealed track can. However, here's the problem. What kind of
(12:04):
instinct that Manny has, whatever special ability that he has,
whatever you want to call the thing that he has,
he does not translate into instruction, like, is Manny gonna
teach a class Manny one oh one? Manny being Manny?
Is that what he's gonna do? That's not a curriculum. Now,
(12:24):
the Malard Sports book gods on Manny Rombers. If he
is a get the job, he has to get the job, obviously,
but succeeding I'll say it plus five thousand, which is
about a two percent chance, and honestly, that feels generous.
Great hitters are often junk bonds. When they become coaches,
they're junk bonds. Or go Barry Bonds. They're sexy on paper,
(12:48):
it sounds really good. Dumb low information fans get all
the gall horny on social media, on radio shows, Oh
we hired you know Joe Blow. He was really good
twenty years ago, and then when the season begins, there's
no return zero and the comps are absolutely brutal. I
mentioned junk Bonds because one of the all time great flops,
(13:12):
Barry Bonds. You might not remember it, but Barry Bonds
was hired as the hitting instructor for the Marlins, and
the Marlins were like, this is the worst thing. He
was like not interested, he was bored. He stayed in
the clubhouse. He didn't. It was a total flop. He
basically became the clubhouse house plant Barry Bonds. When he
was in Miami. Ted Williams, the splendid splinter, couldn't get
(13:34):
guys to understand his brain when he was with the
Washington Senators years ago. And the greatest hitter I ever
saw in my lifetime, Tony Gwynn, mister Podrey, he was
briefly the hitting coach for the Friars, and that team
he was the hitting coach for couldn't water if they
fell out of a boat in the middle of the Pacific.
And Manny many Ramiers is the same guy who once
(13:55):
told reporters he couldn't remember which leg was sore well
with great steps about twenty year years ago. That was
with the Red Sox. And that's not exactly Coach of
the Year energy, But Manny's older. Now, you know, that's
the guy who might show up late and teach lock
launch angles using some kind of dance routine, you know
(14:15):
that kind of thing. And player Alaska, Manny, Hey, Manny,
how do you hit the curveball? Well, man what I
do is I take this little shot of estrogen. Well
why would you do that? Are you crazy? And Manny's response,
trust me, bro, that'll be his response. Now, teams don't
want don't want a nostalgia tour. They want someone, I
would assume, who can break down the swings and use
(14:38):
all the four K technology and all the bull crap
that they're suckered into spending on hitting. And if you
want story time, just have Manny do a podcast or
a radio show. He can tell stories all day and
all night. Now, last thing, we pivot away from baseball
and we go to Chapel Bill, which is in Chapel Hill,
where our friend Speccoli is. He was complaining, I saw Spacoli,
(15:01):
I was scrolling social media, was complaining about the the Bengals.
Uniforsey had a whiteout last night and the Bengals they
were the all white and he said they looked like
ranch dressing. I said, well, what kind of ranch dressing
has black spots in it? That's probably not good ranch dressing. Anyway,
we have learned that Bill Belichick's right hand man North
(15:22):
Carolina JM. Mike Lombardi, the podcast guy, Well, he left
the team in August, a couple of weeks before the season.
The corner of the report to travel to what do
you think he traveled? Do you think he was on
a recruiting mission to Walla Walla, Washington or Kalamazoo, Michigan.
No corner the report Mike Lombardi got on a plane
(15:45):
and traveled to Saudi Arabia ding Ding Ding Ding ding
ding ding ding ding ding Ning. Yes, that that Saudi
Arabia to fundraise question where where are you at? On
a story that was obviously leaked to the media that
Mike Lombardi, representing the Tar Hills, traveled to the Middle
(16:09):
East to get that Saudi oil money for Bill Belichick
in North Carolina. So this is an interesting story. And
the reason it's interesting is obviously you've got big oil,
You've got the Middle East and all that goes on there, good,
bad and ugly, and you've got North Carolina. Mike Lombardi
is Bill Belichick's conciliary, right He's the secret keeper for Belichick.
(16:34):
So Belichick sending his conciliary over there, he randomly packs
up his briefcase Lombardi a couple of weeks before the
season opener and takes a field trip to Saudi Arabia.
Not to Pennsylvania to scout a linebacker, not to Ohio
to look at an offensive lineman. No, Saudi Arabia. Why
because he was trying to get some money for nil
(16:55):
for North Carolina. That's the rumor, you know, That's what
I'm hearing.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
And and like that's like.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
What are we doing? You know, I mean, what do
we do? This is not a back room cigar lounge.
This is panhandling in Riad Who does that? And do
not kid yourself by the way, Like, do I get this?
This was not leaked by accident. This is giving the
same vibe that John Gruden got when he was coaching
(17:22):
the Raiders. Remember the Gruden story, and there was a leak,
big leak of dirt on John Gruden. He then coached
a game for the Raiders. Because it didn't work, the
Raiders didn't fire him. So then there was another news
dump and then the Raiders forced John Gruden out as coach.
John Gruden now suing the Raiders in the NFL, and
(17:45):
that case could go all the way to the Supreme Court.
So that's what this feels like to me at this point, right,
It's that vibe it was. It was not leaked by accident.
You don't just wake up one morning and the Mike
Lombardi to Saudi Arabia story where he magically appears on
your phone. This was the word is tactical. Okay. That
(18:06):
is a surgical leak, a scalpel right into Bill Belichick's reputation, right,
another bombing run. And this was to chip away, chip chip,
chip chip at the hoodie. Now, this is the second wave,
second wave of negative Belichick stories in a couple of weeks.
(18:26):
First there was the culture. The players don't like it.
The parents are unhappy, players, coaches are planning to leave,
and now that didn't work. So now it's North Carolina
Belichick sending his buddy, his again, the guy that's his conciliary, Lombardi,
over to the Middle East to get some Saudi oil money.
(18:47):
Are they gonna become Saudi Oil you? Is that what
they're gonna become? Yeah, So they're not leaking this to
make Lombardi look bad. He already looks bad. They're leaking
this to make Belichick look like a desperate guy who's
drowning and desperately trying to get money anyway he can't,
he'll go anywhere, and he's got no morals and all that.
(19:08):
And Belichick's, essentially, according to the story's like he's sending
his guys to hang out with Piff the Magic Dragon.
When I say Piff, that's the Public Investment Fund, which
all of these American sports leagues are houring themselves out
to Saudi Arabia to get their hands on that money,
all right, And that's what this is. They're not passing
the hat around at the local booster barbecue on a
(19:32):
Saturday saying, hey, boys, can you send us some money? No,
the Pith the Magic Dragon. At last report, it was
over nine hundred billion with a B. That is how
when you buy gas, they're getting your money. That's how
much the public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia is worth.
They got so much money they don't what to do
(19:53):
with it. All right, so I will spend a bunch
of it in the US and we'll change our reputation
around and all that stuff. North Carolina went from getting
money at local like bakestore bake sales in Wilmington, North Carolina, right,
and and now they're begging the Crown Prints saying, hey,
(20:13):
can you give us a couple of million? We got
some nil guys we want to bring in for Belichick.
It's now, it's not unprecedent. It's not unprecedent. Dion Sanders
had one of the Colorado cronies over there last year.
I remember talking about that on the radio show. But
the Saudis are the new booster club of college football.
(20:34):
Like this is the modern college wall. There's no shame,
there's no like line, there's no like moral compass. And
it's just like they got money and they're offering to
give us money, and we want money, and you know,
we'll go and we'll hang out in Riot and we'll
stay at a nice hotel and they'll we'll kiss their
ass and they'll give us some money. And so you know,
(20:54):
it's how slimy can you get? How slimy can get? Now,
technically it's not illegal, right, it's not illegal. Uh, it's
just the optics thing. And the fact that North Carolina
did not advertise this tells you they didn't want this
to get out, right, They wanted to keep this on
the DL, the down low. And so this is leaked.
This has been leaked again. It's my theory that it's
been leaked, my opinion that has got leaked to screw
(21:14):
over Belichick because Belichick's operation is already under the microscope
it is, and now you've got his right hand man
jetting off to the Middle East to shake down an
oil chic for nil money. And it just makes you
want to take a shower. It's gross. And Lombardi's shaking
hands with sovereign wealth guys, probably pitching them like, hey, listen,
(21:37):
you give us like fifty million dollars. I have the
coolest powder blue tar Hill Polo. I'll send you boys
these tar Hill Polos. They're so good. I even will
throw a North Carolina hat, a powder blue North Carolina hat,
and I'll give you seats. If you want to come
to a game, I'll get you some box seats. What
do you say? Okay, good done deal. It is the

Away, Thank you, Marcel, great toss. As always, all right,
we are going to start in the theaters as we
always do here Coopscoop on Entertainment. And there's a couple
of movies that I want to point out that come
out this weekend that I'm interested in, and they're both
horror movies, which makes sense for October. The first one
is a sequel Black Phone two. Yes, the movie from
(30:13):
four years ago. If you well, spoiler alert, it's a
four year old movie. He kills his abductor in the
first movie, and now he is back from the grave
to get his revenge.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
That's cool. How do you come back from the grave.
I'd like to do that some day.
Speaker 10 (30:28):
Oh, you know, horror movies they do that. But yes,
Ethan Hawk reprises his role as the Grabber.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
Ooh, the Grabber.
Speaker 9 (30:37):
You watch out for him on the stairs. Huh. Okay.
Also out in theaters over there, I moved him into
his cage. I think I almost made him die. Kept
him in the coffee cup too long, all right.
Speaker 10 (30:53):
Also this weekend is Frankenstein, Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Yes, this special. I said, a blue Frankenstein or like
red Frankenstein or a gold Frankenstein.
Speaker 9 (31:06):
And I don't think there's anything weird about it.
Speaker 10 (31:09):
Okay, Yeah, but this adaptation stars Oscar Isaac as Doctor
Frankenstein and Mia Goth, the scream Queen, is in this
movie as well as Christoph Waltz, so for them.
Speaker 9 (31:24):
Yeah, check that one out.
Speaker 10 (31:26):
This one's getting rave reviews in theaters and moving over
to television.
Speaker 9 (31:32):
You know how in TV when.
Speaker 10 (31:34):
This one production company does something and then you just
you tend to see like all the other production companies
coming out with their version of the same thing.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Yeah, yeah, for sure, topcat. Yeah, it's like you go
to everyone's got like chicken, like chicken sandwiches at all
the fast food restaurants because.
Speaker 9 (31:49):
It's yes, yes, exactly exactly.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
We talked about it last week in my podcast. Did
you know that what's that chicken place? The fast food place?
You know, what I'm talking about Zaxby's. It's It's a
fish place.
Speaker 9 (32:02):
Oh long, John Silvers, how they rebranded the Chicken.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
Yes, go to a Chicken.
Speaker 6 (32:07):
I know.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
It's a good Yes.
Speaker 7 (32:12):
Well.
Speaker 10 (32:12):
So the the hot thing right now in TV is
serial Killer John Wayne Gayzy.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Oh big, people love this guy.
Speaker 9 (32:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (32:21):
So I talked about how the The Monster series on
Netflix that debuted last week got terrible reviews. I've heard
it's like comically bad, like one of those so bad
it's like you actually want to watch it because it's ridiculous.
But this what premiered today on Peacock is a Devil
in disguise John Wayne Gaysey, And so this one's actually
(32:42):
getting good reviews. So if you want, I guess an
actually good adaptation of the The Clown serial Killer, check
that out on Peacock right now.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
Don't go to the basement, whatever you do.
Speaker 9 (32:53):
Yes, that's right.
Speaker 10 (32:55):
Also available right now is the third season of the
Emmy nominated The Diplomat on Netflix, starring Kerrie Russell. It's
a great show. I've watched the first two seasons. I
am excited about that. If you like spy political dramas,
that's uh, you know, right up right up your alley
and then moving on, I'm gonna skip ahead to this
(33:16):
last thing here, Ben. We have a documentary series we
got that is is available right now on Apple TV Plus.
And I don't know if you would like this, Ben,
because it's you hate the hero worship stuff.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
I do not like hero worship.
Speaker 4 (33:31):
I don't do that.
Speaker 10 (33:32):
But this is a limited documentary series called Mister Scorsese,
and of course it is.
Speaker 4 (33:38):
Uh.
Speaker 10 (33:39):
It is a five part look at one of the
planet's most famous directors, Martin Scorsese, and it has interviews
with him as well as his collaborators and colleagues, including
Robert de Niro, Leonardo DiCaprio, Spielberg, Daniel Day, Lewis, Kate Blanchette,
et cetera, et cetera. And it's got ptty good reviews.
(34:01):
So that is available right now on Apple TV.
Speaker 9 (34:04):
But oh actually there.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
Wait, there's more. Well wait, there's more.
Speaker 10 (34:07):
It's not another thing, but I was about to say
it's available right now on Apple TV Plus. Apparently they
are rebranding. They're getting rid of the Plus. It's just
going to be Apple TV now.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
Oh well yeah, because it's remember when HBO started their
other thing but then they went back to the JBO
because it was so stupid.
Speaker 9 (34:22):
Yeah, everybody's simplifying.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
Now, you got to be keep it stupid man. People don't. Yeah,
