Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our nubbar. Four hour four. We
go to the Big Apple just down the road from
the Big Apple on the Garden State and my, oh my,
you did the thing you can't do at the time,
you can't do it. The Giants have an offensive lineman
named Evan Neil who decided to attack the people that
(00:21):
go to Giant games. How do you digest Evan Neil's
handling of some Giant hecklers? Also, what kind of broadcaster
would Bill Belichick be in a hypothetical situation? And how
much weight do you put on Aaron Rodgers inspiring Zach
Wilson and the Jets performance will go there as well.
(00:41):
It's all coming your way right now. Have a wonderful Thursday,
and don't forget Inka Terror back in an hour one
an hour two of the podcast. But here it is
our number four customer relations. You might want to work
on it. I'm just saying, just saying welcome. In the
(01:02):
beginning of another hour of the Ben Malors Show, we
are in the air everywhere close by, as we prove
we are an economic powerhouse unless we are not coast
to coast border the border in beyond. On the mast
and boldly powerful microphones of fs are emmnating live from
(01:28):
the land, not that land, and certainly not Disneyland. Radio
Land an imaginary place where you, the listener dwell. But
we are broadcasting live from the tyraq dot com studios.
Tyraq dot com will help you get there and unmatched selection,
fast tree shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten
(01:50):
thousand recommended installers. Tyraq dot com the way tire buying
shoes me and back it we go. No baseball to
begin here? Why the game sucked? I'm not gonna force
a baseball monologue down your throat because the games weren't
that good.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
We had.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
All the wild card games are over. There's no games today.
There should have been at least a couple of close
out games. Who goofed I've got to know, well, that
would be the Toronto Blue Jays, who really goofed up
with their pitching moves. My god, what a disaster that
was for Toronto against the Minnesota Twins. And you go
(02:30):
down this Brewers blue double digit not double digit, but
two run leads, had a three run lead and two
run lead in games one and two and lost to Arizona.
The Phillies just absolutely pull axed the Marlins that was
no contest, and the Texas Rangers. They vaporized the Tampa
Bay Race. But we're gonna talk some talk some football.
We'll go to the Big Apple kind of football. I
(02:52):
don't know that you'd call the Giants of football team
right now. If you were to call them a football team,
you wouldn't call them a good one. They got absolutely
molly wopped by the Seattle Seahawks in the Monday night game.
And now they are turning on the customer say what yeah,
all right, So if you didn't hear this, maybe not.
(03:13):
The Giants have this tackle, this right tackle named Evan Neil.
That sound like a made up name. Her name was
Evan Neil. He's like, oh right, I'll come up anyway,
Evan Neil. And it turns out that he does not
does not have warm thoughts for people who buy tickets
to watch the New York Football Giants play. He said
(03:36):
the following is, I'll just give you the money quote.
We don't need to read the whole thing. Let's give
you the money quote, he said. Quote the person that's
commenting on my performance, what does he do? Flip hot
dogs and Hamburgers somewhere.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
But wait, there's more.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
This is an NFL player plausibly makes a lot of
money for the New York Giants. Said, because that just
further shows that people are fair weather. He said, you
shouldn't boo the fans, you know, the player shows your
fair weather. A lot of fans are band wagoners. Band
Wagner sounds like Blair and Maine saying band wagoners. But wait,
(04:17):
there's even more, he says, how can you say you're
really a fan when we're out there battling our asses off?
The Giant lineman said, and the game wasn't going well,
but the best you can do is boo your home team.
So how much of a fan are you really? Close?
Quote all right, so let us discuss how do you
(04:39):
digest the Giant tackle Evan Neil's handling of the fan
base for Big Blue. So I've got taboo, thespian and
Pullitzer prize, and we will combine all of these things
together and we going to make some sour dough bread,
(05:02):
which is what Jerry Jones will be choking on when
the Cowboys gag against the forty nine ers on Sunday.
But it is about the Giants. So let's get down
to the nitty grid here to kick off somewhere in
the Greater New York metropolitan area. There the Giants public
relations department ordered a couple of Vodkas of tequila. And
(05:23):
that's their plan on how to handle this situation. Evan
Neil is a maverick. He's not a Dallas maverick, but
he is a maverick. I'll give him that. And this cat,
his cat was the number seven overall pick for the
New York NFC football team last year. And his blocking
(05:45):
technique at this point, it is a tribute an homage
to Ernest Hemingway. Now Hemingway one of the great writers
in American histrict. Ernest Hemingway loved bullfighting, ole ole ole
el manador. That is Evan Neil. He's a matador, right,
(06:07):
And to throw haymakers at the fan. Even in this wonky, crazy,
wild woke time that we're in that is still considered tabboat.
You cannot attack the fac That is tabboat. It's for bouting,
unauthorized and off limits.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
And all that.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
So Evan Neil a guy that we would only talk
about if he said something stupid or played a terrible game.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
But he's done all the above.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
So when it comes to the fan relation with football,
Evan Neil's uneducated on what a fan is. He doesn't
know the social norms of the NFL either. A real
fan me, let me help you out here, just between
me and you and the on airlight that's flashing here,
A real fan does boo you because a real fan cares,
(06:54):
right cares, and you buy the ticket. It's always been
this way. You buy the ticket and scream, shout, let
it all out. You can't cross the line. You can't
run out and attack someone on the field or anything
like that, but you can scream and shout and hiss
and boo and all that stuff. This guy not locking
the confidence. And if a fan wants to have a
(07:15):
temper tantrum.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
That's fine.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
But you are the man in the arena. You're the big,
bad football player. And let me tell you something. When
you're six foot seven or six foot eight and three
hundred and fifty pounds, you should not upset the person
making the hot dogs and the burgers because those are
very important to you. You eat a lot of them,
otherwise you're you're not at that point. So and I
know I was at that point, well at least the
(07:37):
way wise, that was way over that. But I know
what that's like, and so that's the way it is,
and the measurement the passion membership into the fanhood and
the membership of that. If you're a fair Weather fan,
you don't boo. You don't because you don't really care
(07:59):
that much. Maybe you got tickets from somebody. Are you
like the uniforms or somebody said, oh, you want to.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Come to the game today. You know, we'll split the
tickets whatever.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
You go to the But if you really care, if
you invest the most important thing you have in your life,
it's not money, it's time. That's the most important thing.
People don't realize that, but you only get a finite
amount of time, and you don't know when it's gone,
and you don't know how much of it you have.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
It's the most more thing.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
If you're gonna waste your time watching a football team
and they're going to perform like dog feces, a dog
that has diarrhea's feces, and you can't boo, and you're
a fair Weather fan. If you boom, my fat ass,
you're a fair Weather fan. And I got no skin
in the game. I'm not a Giants fan. I don't
care about the Giants. I don't, but that's a body blow.
(08:51):
Body blow. Body blow is what it is, all right. Furthermore, so,
there's been some chatter from TV people. By the way,
I think I'm a TV person now, I'm a really
low on the totem poll TV person. But I will
be taping later today Benny versus the Penny. I'll be
taking a bunch of caffeine and I'll be doing that
(09:11):
and try not to fall asleep because I'm pretty sure
they would cancel the TV show if I fell asleep
on camera.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
I don't think that would work out anyway.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Some chatter from the TV people speculation that Bill Belichick
would be a quote great NFL analyst if he wanted
to go that direction. Certainly, his time with the Patriots
is winding down. Belichick needs eighteen wins to pass Don
Shula on the all times win list, and the way
the Patriots are going, that could take many, many years
(09:42):
the way they're playing football right now. But people are
connecting the dots and I'm like, well, what is Bill
gonna do if he leaves the Patriots? So what kind
of broadcaster. Here's the question, what kind of broadcaster would
Bill Belichick be. I know he doesn't like that talk radio.
I know that, but I have an unpopular opinion. I
(10:03):
have an unpopular opinion. I guess I'll just put it
nicely and pass on the opportunity to get involved in
talk radio. Well, I will not pass on that bill,
because otherwise I would not be able to pay my
mortgage and my electric bill and all that.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
I'd be screwed.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
So anyway, listen, my position, which is unpopular, is that
Bill Belichick would be marvelous on television. And here's why
I believe Bill Belichick. The persona of Bill Belichick is
as phony as a three dollar bill.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
I think what.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
He is doing here, Belichick, and he's been doing this
since he got to New England.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
He is a Thespian.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
And all those grunts and the desk stairs and the
size and the silence with the media and not answering
any question directly, all of that Bill Belichick is like
it's probably an outdated reference, but they made a movie
about this eight years ago. I look up, just look
up the wiki pedia page of Andy Kaufman. Now, Andy
(11:07):
Kaufman was a star on Saturday Night Live back in
the day, and his life turned into a running gag.
And you know, he's just he had this character and
he was playing the character the whole thing. But Belichick's
in many ways the same thing he's doing. He's doing
a you know, a fun show. He's playing the role
of the curmudgeon because it kind of works and all that.
(11:28):
But I remember when Belichick before he became that guy
in Cleveland, before he became that character, there is video
of him doing a comedy routine with a local Cleveland
comedian giving out his mom's peanut butter and jelly sandwich
restaurant or menu or not menu? What do I think
of the recipe? There you go the recipe. Belichick was
giving out the recipe and he was like in the
(11:49):
kitchen they had.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
A set though.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
It was really funny and so and ultimately, like Bill Belichick,
I've heard from so many people that have passed through
these hallways he would fire over the years that worked
with the Patriots around Belichick and said what he's really
like when the cameras aren't there, that he's a totally
different person and you'd think he's seventy one years old.
(12:10):
You can't act like an a hole around a bunch
of guys that are in their twenties and early thirties
and get away with that. So obviously he's not the miserable,
condescending sour ball that he appears to be all the time.
So if he wanted to get into television, he'd do it.
And plus, there's so many jocksniffers that just love ex
athletes and would just eat it up whatever he said.
(12:31):
You know, he could speak pig Latin and they'd be like, oh, Bill,
you're so good, we love you. And then he'd say
we're on the Cincinnati and they'd laugh and they'd chuckle, Oh,
it's so good.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
Yeah, we're on a Cincinnati.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
All right, parting shot. So let's go back to Jersey.
Actually there's a story not involving the Giants, but the Jets,
a report making the rounds. The report says that Aaron Rodgers,
this is great, Aaron Rodgers had a quote effect unquote
on Zack Wilson and the Jets' offense going into the
(13:06):
Chiefs game. So the perception or the way this story
is being framed is that the reason Zach Wilson played
like a somewhat confident, halfway decent, maybe slightly average NFL
quarterback is because of.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
So the question is how much weight do you put
on Aaron Rodgers' presence inspiring Zach Wilson and the Jets?
All right, So the answer is I put no weight,
no weight into this at all, as in zip Bo bupkis.
And here's why this is one of those stories which
(13:52):
is completely so. First of all, the Jets lost the game,
and Zach Wilson wasn't all that great. He happened to
put up better numbers and Mahomes because Mahomes had a
terrible day against the Jets defense. But let's not get
carried away here. And so the fact that they lost
the game, this is going to win. This story is
going to win the Pulitzer Prize for myth making. Okay,
(14:15):
I don't really have that, but it should win the
Pulitzer Prize for mythmaking. And as Dion would say, it's
bull Jrunk And did he pass the ball around in
the locker room before the Jets game there to calm
the anxiety? Is a human xanax?
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Is that what he is?
Speaker 1 (14:28):
I don't know, but Aaron Rodgers did not did not
put some kind of voodoo spell on Zach Wilson, so
he played better and there was zero expectations. So anything
Zach Wilson did the Tafway dec it's like, okay, we
got something. So stop with the legends and the myths
and the fairy tales. It's all contrived. Right, well, this
is not contrived. If you would like to be part
(14:49):
of the lines are open, if you'd like to be on.

Speaker 3 (16:34):
It is up on the Unist.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Yeah, it'll be on the podcast Eddie coming up later
on We get done here this hour. And he's got
quite the story. Inca Terror is his name on the show.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
And I looked into his story and it is something else. Man,
I have a question.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
So he said he lost his site when he was
a child and it was like war related nor though
something happened on his website.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Yeah, I mean, can I want to with the class
that I was Sam doesn't want to relive it to it?
I was sorry, I have a change, Okay. So he's
the Inca Terror, right, Yeah. So he was raised in
like a very uh primitive tribe indigenous right yeah. And
his well, it sounds like his father was going to
(17:23):
sacrifice him to some kind of inc in god whoa
and apparently was in the process of doing this by
hitting him in the head with a hammer like instrument,
and his mother decided, I can't let this happen. And
ran off with him into the forest I guess or
woods or a jungle whatever, and I don't know and
(17:45):
prove Wow, took him to the hospital and they saved him,
but he lost his eyesight. And then he got adopted
by an American family and brought to the United States
and there and then the rest is history. That is crazy.
He's insane. Yeah, he went from that to being a
world class pianist. Pianists. Yeah, that's amazing. That's crazy, it is.
(18:10):
I read it and I was just pretty wild. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Probably should have read that before I asked him some
of those questions. But you know, that's uh, you know,
what are you gonna do? He went some you lose abdy.
Speaker 4 (18:24):
I didn't know people were still like making sacrifices, like.
Speaker 6 (18:27):
Oh yeah, if you talked to some of those soldiers
that went to certain battles in the Middle East, and
there's certain parts of that that they believe wild things
about honor killing.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
Yeah, yeah, crazy.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
Have you guys seen the movie Apocalypto No, No, Gibson
Field absolutely incredible movie.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
Yeah, and this is so good.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
I think it's just very authentic. I mean it takes
place sort of like pre Europeans coming to the Americas,
and it's just there's some of that stuff.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
There's still like places in the Amazon where there's like
people living that haven't have no technology.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
I think there are still in some super remote places
like cannibals.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Yes, there's an island I believe where they're You don't
want to go there, North Sentinel Island, that's what it's called.
You're not allowed to go there, actually, Yeah, because if
we see them, that will probably give them diseases and.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
All that they wouldn't give us diseases.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
I know. I'm sure some YouTubers trying to get there
right now. The YouTube video and I've seen pictures of
like you know, flying over in a helicopter. They're shooting
and they're looking like, you know, God, God knows what
they think that is. Probably they think it's out of there,
whether they are religious beliefs. So I was like a
huge drone show right above them, Yeah, send the drones down.
(19:42):
That a fireworks show, the new drone show. Wow, that
is a hell of a story. Geez.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Yeah, I knew a little bit about it. I guess
I didn't know the complete, the full, the full monty,
but inc has been a big fan of the show
for many, many years.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
We go back, probably man almost twenty year. Oh wow,
it's been a long time.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Let's go to our friend Andrea. She is world renowned.
You see her on the Athletic, well you read her
on the Athletic, but you say she pops up on
TV sometimes as well, multimedia celebrity. And she's got the
star chart out right there, our friend Andrea Virgo in
service on ex Hello Andrea, Welcome Andrea?
Speaker 7 (20:25):
Who are you?
Speaker 1 (20:27):
If I was any better, I'd be Dak, but not
Dak Prescott because the forty nine ers are going to
win that game by a wide margin on Sunday.
Speaker 7 (20:38):
Yeah, I really look forward to it.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
Now.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Is there anything in the chart I need to know
about here? Because I got a TV I got a
gambling show today, I got you on TV. So is
anything I need to know? I think brock Perdy will
be a fine right, he should be all right.
Speaker 7 (20:48):
I have to look at his chart.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
I'm so confident. I don't even need that.
Speaker 7 (20:53):
I'm so confident, so so good.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
He's never lost an NFL game, not yet. He will
lose plenty, but he hasn't lost one yet.
Speaker 7 (21:01):
No, he's great. I'll tell you Capricorns are super ambitious.
I mean, the worst thing you can do is call
them mister irrelevant, and he'll show us. So he's doing great.
I'm proud of him, very yappy.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
He looks like I saw him at the Super Bowl
last year walking.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Around the radio row. He looks like he's about twelve
years old. So he's got the boyish looks doing as well.
Speaker 7 (21:22):
And so yeah, yeah, he's an old soul, but he's
in a young boppy.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
Very yes, very very young here. But you were we
were going to break the way were doing the baseball.
Speaker 8 (21:31):
We're doing the baseball.
Speaker 7 (21:32):
I'm going to do after sports astrology. One of my
favorite niches is relationship compatibility.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Oh okay, compatibility, all right, let's do it. Here we go.
Speaker 7 (21:43):
I thought, what's interesting? I looked at a J. Preller's chart,
Bob Melvin.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Oh, yeah, they supposedly are at loggerheads. They don't like
each other there in San Diego, the manager and the Jas.
Speaker 7 (21:54):
And you know what's interesting. I mean, I know you
heard the Giants fired Gabe Kapler, and that was saw that.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
He was very upset. He took his fruit smoothie and
ran away.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
He was very upset.
Speaker 7 (22:04):
I called it a full moon Friday firing and I
did a podcast on it.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
So you think they did on the phone? Why why
did they not just wait? And the season only had
a few more days? Yeah, what's the point of doing it?
Speaker 3 (22:17):
Then he had to measure in the last couple of days.
Speaker 7 (22:19):
Who cares fallhands a scorpio? And I think they just
had it out. And Gabe, being a Leo, there's a
lot of pride in Leo energy. He probably said something,
Oh fine, I'll just leave you know that.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
That's my into well fun fact Gabe Kapler before he
became a manager for a couple of teams in the
Big Leagues, the Phillies and the Giants.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
You know what his job was before then?
Speaker 7 (22:38):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (22:38):
He was just la, wasn't he He was?
Speaker 1 (22:40):
He worked for us. He was a baseball contributor for
Fox Sports radio and television.
Speaker 7 (22:45):
Yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
Does that mean he's coming back to Fox?
Speaker 3 (22:48):
I don't know. Maybe he will.
Speaker 7 (22:49):
Well, the Mets just fired Buck show Walter, so it's
an opportunity saw that. But yeah, Show Walter and Eppler,
by the way, do not get along.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
Well.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
The room I heard was did the Mets want to
hire Craig Council, who's now available from the Brewers.
Speaker 7 (23:04):
So yeah, just so you know, Buck Showalter May twenty third,
nineteen fifty six. Gemini, Billy Eppler September sixteenth, nineteen seventy
five Virgo, and they're really clashing about how to use
vogel voc. Every other day they class on something, so
that's kind of a battle of the Titans. And then
(23:25):
Preller aj Preller, he's in Let's he's June twentieth, nineteen
ninety seven, and Bob Milvin October twenty eight, nineteen sixty one.
So we have Scorpio, which is very intense. I admire
that Gemini not so much, but the compatibility Ben this
(23:47):
is key. AJ Preller has Mars in Taurus and that's
right opposing Bob Milvin's son in Scorpio. So Mar the
post is on Mars, energy, assertion, aggression, arguments, and compatibility
stays the same. It's not affected by transits. And then
he has Yournics in Scorpio that's generational hes born in
(24:08):
the seventies and uronics in Scorpio Conjunctpaw Melvin son in Scorpio,
so it's like very erratic.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
Hold on, need I need to drink Andrea, hold on
a sec here is my god? All right?
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Well is the bottom line here, Andrea is it's not
a good situation, right, a good.
Speaker 7 (24:23):
Situation and the giants. We're hoping he'd come over here,
but that doesn't look like it's. Oh there you go, pour.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
One for me too, please, Yeah, I have a couple
of pops.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
Why not? What the heck? All right?
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Well, Andrea, thank you very much. I appreciate that, and
good luck to you. We're going service on Twitter. Our
friend Andrea, she always has the insight from the star
charts and whatnot. There she goes, she's got her own
walk off music. Andrea, you know you're a big deal
when you have your own walk off music. It's fitting
for her, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
It is funny she.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Likes it because Roberto played porn.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
Music when she was on and this is much better.
It's much class here.
Speaker 4 (24:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
I still in favor of the X Files theme. That
was the best. Yeah. I don't think she liked that though,
No she didn't. That's why I playing it. But this
is fine.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
It kind of fits like the hippie Northern California vibe.
You know that whole thing so kind.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
Of works, isn't it Aquarius? One of the horsecope signs
if you're an Aquarius, isn't that right?
Speaker 3 (25:19):
Yeah, so it's astrological sing astrological call.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
I assume that. Okay, all right, we'll have a double dose. Hey,
we're gonna have puck the world coming up. But right now,
let's get you caught up on everything going on in
the overnight. Say bye bye to the wild Card round
of the baseball playoffs. Here is the Mermaid and Eddie Garcia.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
And you know what I was saying, would be really
great if you could grab that Grand Slam home run
by the Phillies guy for me, all right on the air,
behind the scenes, how do we make the hot Dogs out?
So postseason baseball? Then we had the Wildcard series. We
had the Blue Jays, Rays, Marlins, and Brewers all in
(25:57):
the postseason. You know how many wins they combined for?
Speaker 1 (26:00):
How many wins? Zero?
Speaker 3 (26:02):
Zero? Not one win? That's embarrassing for those four teams.
As we had the sweeps, two game sweeps in all
four of the series.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
I did see though, Anie, the Diamondbacks and Orioles lost
each of them. Had a couple of years ago, lost
one hundred and ten games, and now they've won a
playoff series and people are celebrating that. But didn't they
tank the Diamondbacks and Orioles for years? I know the
Orioles tank for years. Maybe the Diamondbacks were trying, they
just sucked.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
But anyway, the Twins closed out the Blue Jays with
the two nothing victories. Terrible, terrible manager by Toronto, is
that right? Yeah? Game Schneider, John Schneider.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
I picked him Sonny Gray.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
Sounds like a guy that should be playing golf. Any Yeah,
five shutout innings. Five relievers then followed him up with
four shutout innings, So that's not good news for Toronto.
Speaker 8 (26:55):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
Minnesota is the AL Central champs and they are moving
on in the postseason the first time since two thousand
and two. Toronto's dropped six straight playoff games. Up next four,
Minnesota will be Ben's favorite team, the AL West champion Houston.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
Here we go, twe kis, here we go, Here we go,
twe kes here we go.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
The Rangers closed out the Rays with a seven to
one road victory. Texas the four runs in the fourth inning,
including an Evan Carter two run homer, o'donalas Garcia my
cousin a solo shot, all in support of Nathan and
Valli the starter six and two thirds innings for him,
one run, eight strikeouts. Tampa Bay's now dropped seven straight
postseason games. On to the next round for Texas, they
will face the AL East champ Baltimore Orioles Phillies close
(27:38):
out the Marlins with a seven to one win, Bryson
Stott with a grand slam. We're gonna hear that in
just a moment, Philadelphia start you Aaron Nola, seven shotout
innings and the Phillies move on up next their NL
East rivals, the Atlanta Braves, and the Diamondbacks close out
the NL Central NL Central leading Brewers or winning Brewers.
(27:58):
The champions of the Central was the final.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
So we are guaranteed Eddy of having a Nationally West
versus National leagueese.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
Yes, that's right.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
That's a bold take by me, Thank you.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
Yeah. Arizona was down to nothing in this one and
then could tell Marte go ahead two RBI single in
the sixth inning, a four run sixth inning for Arizona.
They will take on the NL West rivals the LA Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
I will be a witness to the big blue wrecking crew.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
That is good to know. We'll look for a first
hand report. I don't think Marlins Man is going to
be there though. Unfortunately, guess what, he's not going to
see his Marlins playing that next round either, So there
you go.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
Well hey, well, no, the reason he went to Milwaukee
because the Marlins was supposed to play the Brewers and
then at the last minute they.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
Ended up playing in the Phillies. But he had already
bought the plane ticket to Milwaukee. How did that work
out for you? I got a lot of cred on
social media. TV time. Please let's go to the progressive
player of the day, brought to you by our friend
Iowa Sam. Progressive play of.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
The day left left, the infield is in the pitch
to Rice in fastball, hit the air.
Speaker 8 (29:04):
Get us get up, Just watch it.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
God, he has lifted the roof off the building. Phip,
they're on top seven to nothing.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
I always thought that as a Dobman Philadelphia w I
P and the the famous w I P in the
Phillies Radio Networks, Philadelphia the closest baseball has to Buffalo,
and in terms of environment, like a Bills game. Bill's Mafia,
Phillies mafia. I suppose so, I suppose.
Speaker 4 (29:34):
So I've been to a couple of games of Citizens Bank.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
I have as well play the Braves. Actually, nice ball park.
I've been that whole sports complex.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
Yeah, I was just gonna say that, Phillies gotta do
it right there. They got the football stadium on one side,
they got the it's like a.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
Triangle, Yeah, baseball stadium in the basketball NBA and hockey team.
That was our progressive player of the day. Progressive making
things even easier. They'll help you bundle your home carn
surance together so you can save on both. Learn more
Progressive dot Com. I'll call one eight hundred progressive if
I cond Ben Mallard the Tirach dot Com, Fox Sports
Radio Studios. All right, thanks for that. It is we
continue on.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
Never in my life did I wish I had been
a ute, but I now wish I had become a ute.
Speaker 3 (30:14):
Do you see this story?
Speaker 1 (30:16):
So this nil thing continues on in Utah. Now, you
got a pretty good football team, the University of Utah.
They produced some coaches. Erban Meyer was a coach at Utah,
Alex Smith. They've had some good players that have passed
through there over the years. And every single scholarship player
at Utah, all eighty five scholarship players at Utah have
(30:39):
been given the key to a sixty thousand dollars Dodge truck. Yeah,
that means the star quarterback and the backup left guard
both got.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
The same thing. Pretty nice. Yeah, eighty five do the math.
Let me hold on, let me do the math. I
want to say here overnight radio. Ben's doing math.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
Eddie, why don't you start the hockey thing. I'm gonna
work on the math. Why don't we get over to Eddie?
Speaker 3 (31:09):
Puck? But what's my calculator sound effects? Go ahead.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
It's gonna take me the entire puck the world to
do the math on this.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
But go ahead, Eddie. Do we have the Yes, we do.
There is hockeys.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
Hey, Eddie wants you to set the mood.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
We are five days away from the start of the
NHL regular season next Tuesday, a triple header. You've got
the Nashville Predators in Tampa to take on the Lightning,
the Blackhawks, and number one overall pick the future of
the NHL Connor Bnard.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
But our number ninety eight in your program, but number
one in your heart.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
That's right against the old legend Sidney Crosby. You have
the Penguins. He's old now actually believe it or he's
an old part he is in thirties. And also you
have the defending Stanley Cup champion in Vegas Golden Knights,
hosting the Settle Crack a triple header next Tuesday to
open up the NHL season. Unfortunately for the Tampa Bay Lighty,
they will not have their star goalie, Andre Vassilevski. Why not, Eddie,
He's gonna miss the first two months of the season
(32:00):
at least after having back surgery. Five time All Star
VESNA Trophy winner in twenty nineteen, He's backstopped the team
to three Stanley Cup Finals aperiods and two Stanley Cup titles.
Twenty nine year old one of seven goalies to start
more than sixty games last season. His backup so Jonas
Johanson and Brent Topkins have combined for a total of
thirty excuse me, twenty seven NHL stars say yes.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
So why didn't need their opportunity? And if they don't work out,
we'll put Jonas Knox in there.
Speaker 3 (32:28):
I mean too, I mean you need to go out
and find somebody.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
Noh COEs, Eddie. All you need in life is an opportunity.
Look at Shay. We thought Shay was a loser, but
he's saw a great job over there. Right, you got
an opportunity percent one hundred percent. You need the chance, Eddie.
Speaker 3 (32:41):
I Anaheim Ducks finally signed their leading scorer from last season,
Trevor Zegers, three year deals seventeen point two five million
twenty tw year old let him in scoring last season
twenty three goals and sixty five points. Calgary Flames sight
center Michael Backlan two year extension nine million dollars, named
the twenty first captain in the history of the Flames,
as well spent his entire your career nine Edel games
(33:02):
in Calgary. Well that is in Alberta, right, So that's right?
Speaker 1 (33:05):
Can you work in more Edmonton oil? We're on in
Edmonton now.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
We just picked up an affiliate this week in Edmonton.
Got nothing for you.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
Just have a funny line about Connor McDavid or something
like that.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
No, I don't think so, oh, Eddie.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
So I learned that Edmonds people in Edmonton like perogis
just like Pittsburgh.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
Yeah, you guys had those.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
It's like a l But yeah, I'm not against I
like the I have some Polish blood.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
Progy in my body. Yeah, I will keep an eye
off for some oiler's news at some point. Ducks Ford
Alex Colorin sideline four to six weeks with a broken finger.
Forward Derek step On announcing his retirement after thirteen seasons
eight hundred ninety career games, Rangers, Coyote, Senators, Hurricanes, and
veteran Ford Brandon Sutter retiring from the NHL after thirteen season,
seven hundred and seventy care of games. Penguin's capital is Cannucks.

The great Sutner family of course, yeah, all those same man.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
Isn't the Wine family?
Speaker 4 (34:03):
No ex cutter home, No, it is not okay when.
Speaker 3 (34:06):
We're NHL coach Kevin Constantine suspended by the Western Hockey League.
Speaker 8 (34:11):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (34:12):
He was the head coach of the Wonachi Wild Wild Yeah, yeah,
I have no idea where that's located. Is it Wisconsin,
wiscott Wachi, Wisconsin sounds Wisconsin, But I don't know. He
was a former head coach in the NHL in the
nineties and early two thousands for the Sharks, Penguins and
Devil's Dam.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
I probably interviewed him back when I covered hockey.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
Western Hockey League said that he violated their policies. Uh
made derogatory comments of a discriminatory nature. Oh, you can't
do that, Yeah, yeah, I can't do that back in
the old days. You get that. Yeah. Calgary Flames assistant
general manager Chris no passing away at the age of
forty two. We had told you last week that he
had had a catastrophic brain injury uh and and was
(34:57):
on life support, and they took him off life support.
So at very sad story. He had had a lengthy
and public battle with als the old Lou Garrig's disease
and finally all the best to Aaron ports Line. He's
a long time reporter for the UH working for the
Athletic right now. He's been a reporter covering the Columbus
Blue Jackets for many many years. It does a great job.
(35:18):
But he's dealing with kidney failure, he announced, UH and
he's he needs a kidney transplant, and he said he
was coming forward with this to let people know that
this could affect his coverage of the team this season,
but also to uh that's pretty low on that. Yeah,
to spread awareness about uh about transplants and whatnot. So
we wish him the best. Hopefully you can get that
the kidney transplant.
Speaker 1 (35:39):
And yeah, you didn't mention any of the NHLs fussing
around with this. They're gonna try a red zone hockey show.
They're gonna do like a whip around.
Speaker 3 (35:46):
I think it's just for there's a there's one day
one day. Yeah, it was like every team today in action,
what they should hire me and you will do that
every night. I would love to do that.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
I would be great at that.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
Yeah, it would be too. We could work together, we
could do the whip around every night. Let's let's get that.
Let's get the boom wheels roll all right. Yeah, there's
one day in the season where every team's playing in
that nine. I think they're going to have like a
special thing for that. It's October twenty five. It's not like, oh, okay,
every night, so I thought it was every night. No,
that would be nice. Okay, yeah, should have but why not?
Speaker 1 (36:14):
I And that's your put to work, All right, Eddie,
I've done the math. I'd like to learn all the
affiliates down the line Malor math.
Speaker 3 (36:20):
So here's the math.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
Every Utah football player on scholarship, all eighty five scholarship
football player's got a brand new Dodge truck. It's valued
at sixty thousand dollars. So I did the math on
it works out to five five point one eight million
dollars total value. But that's assuming it's at sixty that
maybe they got a discount because they bought in bulk.
Speaker 3 (36:44):
Is it like Costco you get a discount? No, I
don't know.

Harden Attitude. So James Harden showed up to Sixers training
camp in Colorado. It turns out out his conditioning needs
some work. The mile high altitude did not do him well. Harden,
his team, his portion of the Sixers roster outscored twenty
(40:10):
one to three. Not good. Not good there for Hard
I guess he's dealing with the alt And you gotta

Look at that what's factor fiction. Actually, that's the bit,
that's what we call it.
Hello and welcome. It's our nubbar. Four hour four. We
go to the Big Apple just down the road from
the Big Apple on the Garden State and my, oh my,
you did the thing you can't do at the time,
you can't do it. The Giants have an offensive lineman
named Evan Neil who decided to attack the people that
(00:21):
go to Giant games. How do you digest Evan Neil's
handling of some Giant hecklers? Also, what kind of broadcaster
would Bill Belichick be in a hypothetical situation? And how
much weight do you put on Aaron Rodgers inspiring Zach
Wilson and the Jets performance will go there as well.
(00:41):
It's all coming your way right now. Have a wonderful Thursday,
and don't forget Inka Terror back in an hour one
an hour two of the podcast. But here it is
our number four customer relations. You might want to work
on it. I'm just saying, just saying welcome. In the
(01:02):
beginning of another hour of the Ben Malors Show, we
are in the air everywhere close by, as we prove
we are an economic powerhouse unless we are not coast
to coast border the border in beyond. On the mast
and boldly powerful microphones of fs are emmnating live from
(01:28):
the land, not that land, and certainly not Disneyland. Radio
Land an imaginary place where you, the listener dwell. But
we are broadcasting live from the tyraq dot com studios.
Tyraq dot com will help you get there and unmatched selection,
fast tree shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten
(01:50):
thousand recommended installers. Tyraq dot com the way tire buying
shoes me and back it we go. No baseball to
begin here? Why the game sucked? I'm not gonna force
a baseball monologue down your throat because the games weren't
that good.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
We had.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
All the wild card games are over. There's no games today.
There should have been at least a couple of close
out games. Who goofed I've got to know, well, that
would be the Toronto Blue Jays, who really goofed up
with their pitching moves. My god, what a disaster that
was for Toronto against the Minnesota Twins. And you go
(02:30):
down this Brewers blue double digit not double digit, but
two run leads, had a three run lead and two
run lead in games one and two and lost to Arizona.
The Phillies just absolutely pull axed the Marlins that was
no contest, and the Texas Rangers. They vaporized the Tampa
Bay Race. But we're gonna talk some talk some football.
We'll go to the Big Apple kind of football. I
(02:52):
don't know that you'd call the Giants of football team
right now. If you were to call them a football team,
you wouldn't call them a good one. They got absolutely
molly wopped by the Seattle Seahawks in the Monday night game.
And now they are turning on the customer say what yeah,
all right, So if you didn't hear this, maybe not.
(03:13):
The Giants have this tackle, this right tackle named Evan Neil.
That sound like a made up name. Her name was
Evan Neil. He's like, oh right, I'll come up anyway,
Evan Neil. And it turns out that he does not
does not have warm thoughts for people who buy tickets
to watch the New York Football Giants play. He said
(03:36):
the following is, I'll just give you the money quote.
We don't need to read the whole thing. Let's give
you the money quote, he said. Quote the person that's
commenting on my performance, what does he do? Flip hot
dogs and Hamburgers somewhere.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
But wait, there's more.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
This is an NFL player plausibly makes a lot of
money for the New York Giants. Said, because that just
further shows that people are fair weather. He said, you
shouldn't boo the fans, you know, the player shows your
fair weather. A lot of fans are band wagoners. Band
Wagner sounds like Blair and Maine saying band wagoners. But wait,
(04:17):
there's even more, he says, how can you say you're
really a fan when we're out there battling our asses off?
The Giant lineman said, and the game wasn't going well,
but the best you can do is boo your home team.
So how much of a fan are you really? Close?
Quote all right, so let us discuss how do you
(04:39):
digest the Giant tackle Evan Neil's handling of the fan
base for Big Blue. So I've got taboo, thespian and
Pullitzer prize, and we will combine all of these things
together and we going to make some sour dough bread,
(05:02):
which is what Jerry Jones will be choking on when
the Cowboys gag against the forty nine ers on Sunday.
But it is about the Giants. So let's get down
to the nitty grid here to kick off somewhere in
the Greater New York metropolitan area. There the Giants public
relations department ordered a couple of Vodkas of tequila. And
(05:23):
that's their plan on how to handle this situation. Evan
Neil is a maverick. He's not a Dallas maverick, but
he is a maverick. I'll give him that. And this cat,
his cat was the number seven overall pick for the
New York NFC football team last year. And his blocking
(05:45):
technique at this point, it is a tribute an homage
to Ernest Hemingway. Now Hemingway one of the great writers
in American histrict. Ernest Hemingway loved bullfighting, ole ole ole
el manador. That is Evan Neil. He's a matador, right,
(06:07):
And to throw haymakers at the fan. Even in this wonky, crazy,
wild woke time that we're in that is still considered tabboat.
You cannot attack the fac That is tabboat. It's for bouting,
unauthorized and off limits.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
And all that.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
So Evan Neil a guy that we would only talk
about if he said something stupid or played a terrible game.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
But he's done all the above.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
So when it comes to the fan relation with football,
Evan Neil's uneducated on what a fan is. He doesn't
know the social norms of the NFL either. A real
fan me, let me help you out here, just between
me and you and the on airlight that's flashing here,
A real fan does boo you because a real fan cares,
(06:54):
right cares, and you buy the ticket. It's always been
this way. You buy the ticket and scream, shout, let
it all out. You can't cross the line. You can't
run out and attack someone on the field or anything
like that, but you can scream and shout and hiss
and boo and all that stuff. This guy not locking
the confidence. And if a fan wants to have a
(07:15):
temper tantrum.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
That's fine.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
But you are the man in the arena. You're the big,
bad football player. And let me tell you something. When
you're six foot seven or six foot eight and three
hundred and fifty pounds, you should not upset the person
making the hot dogs and the burgers because those are
very important to you. You eat a lot of them,
otherwise you're you're not at that point. So and I
know I was at that point, well at least the
(07:37):
way wise, that was way over that. But I know
what that's like, and so that's the way it is,
and the measurement the passion membership into the fanhood and
the membership of that. If you're a fair Weather fan,
you don't boo. You don't because you don't really care
(07:59):
that much. Maybe you got tickets from somebody. Are you
like the uniforms or somebody said, oh, you want to.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Come to the game today. You know, we'll split the
tickets whatever.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
You go to the But if you really care, if
you invest the most important thing you have in your life,
it's not money, it's time. That's the most important thing.
People don't realize that, but you only get a finite
amount of time, and you don't know when it's gone,
and you don't know how much of it you have.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
It's the most more thing.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
If you're gonna waste your time watching a football team
and they're going to perform like dog feces, a dog
that has diarrhea's feces, and you can't boo, and you're
a fair Weather fan. If you boom, my fat ass,
you're a fair Weather fan. And I got no skin
in the game. I'm not a Giants fan. I don't
care about the Giants. I don't, but that's a body blow.
(08:51):
Body blow. Body blow is what it is, all right. Furthermore, so,
there's been some chatter from TV people. By the way,
I think I'm a TV person now, I'm a really
low on the totem poll TV person. But I will
be taping later today Benny versus the Penny. I'll be
taking a bunch of caffeine and I'll be doing that
(09:11):
and try not to fall asleep because I'm pretty sure
they would cancel the TV show if I fell asleep
on camera.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
I don't think that would work out anyway.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Some chatter from the TV people speculation that Bill Belichick
would be a quote great NFL analyst if he wanted
to go that direction. Certainly, his time with the Patriots
is winding down. Belichick needs eighteen wins to pass Don
Shula on the all times win list, and the way
the Patriots are going, that could take many, many years
(09:42):
the way they're playing football right now. But people are
connecting the dots and I'm like, well, what is Bill
gonna do if he leaves the Patriots? So what kind
of broadcaster. Here's the question, what kind of broadcaster would
Bill Belichick be. I know he doesn't like that talk radio.
I know that, but I have an unpopular opinion. I
(10:03):
have an unpopular opinion. I guess I'll just put it
nicely and pass on the opportunity to get involved in
talk radio. Well, I will not pass on that bill,
because otherwise I would not be able to pay my
mortgage and my electric bill and all that.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
I'd be screwed.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
So anyway, listen, my position, which is unpopular, is that
Bill Belichick would be marvelous on television. And here's why
I believe Bill Belichick. The persona of Bill Belichick is
as phony as a three dollar bill.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
I think what.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
He is doing here, Belichick, and he's been doing this
since he got to New England.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
He is a Thespian.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
And all those grunts and the desk stairs and the
size and the silence with the media and not answering
any question directly, all of that Bill Belichick is like
it's probably an outdated reference, but they made a movie
about this eight years ago. I look up, just look
up the wiki pedia page of Andy Kaufman. Now, Andy
(11:07):
Kaufman was a star on Saturday Night Live back in
the day, and his life turned into a running gag.
And you know, he's just he had this character and
he was playing the character the whole thing. But Belichick's
in many ways the same thing he's doing. He's doing
a you know, a fun show. He's playing the role
of the curmudgeon because it kind of works and all that.
(11:28):
But I remember when Belichick before he became that guy
in Cleveland, before he became that character, there is video
of him doing a comedy routine with a local Cleveland
comedian giving out his mom's peanut butter and jelly sandwich
restaurant or menu or not menu? What do I think
of the recipe? There you go the recipe. Belichick was
giving out the recipe and he was like in the
(11:49):
kitchen they had.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
A set though.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
It was really funny and so and ultimately, like Bill Belichick,
I've heard from so many people that have passed through
these hallways he would fire over the years that worked
with the Patriots around Belichick and said what he's really
like when the cameras aren't there, that he's a totally
different person and you'd think he's seventy one years old.
(12:10):
You can't act like an a hole around a bunch
of guys that are in their twenties and early thirties
and get away with that. So obviously he's not the miserable,
condescending sour ball that he appears to be all the time.
So if he wanted to get into television, he'd do it.
And plus, there's so many jocksniffers that just love ex
athletes and would just eat it up whatever he said.
(12:31):
You know, he could speak pig Latin and they'd be like, oh, Bill,
you're so good, we love you. And then he'd say
we're on the Cincinnati and they'd laugh and they'd chuckle, Oh,
it's so good.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
Yeah, we're on a Cincinnati.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
All right, parting shot. So let's go back to Jersey.
Actually there's a story not involving the Giants, but the Jets,
a report making the rounds. The report says that Aaron Rodgers,
this is great, Aaron Rodgers had a quote effect unquote
on Zack Wilson and the Jets' offense going into the
(13:06):
Chiefs game. So the perception or the way this story
is being framed is that the reason Zach Wilson played
like a somewhat confident, halfway decent, maybe slightly average NFL
quarterback is because of.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
So the question is how much weight do you put
on Aaron Rodgers' presence inspiring Zach Wilson and the Jets?
All right, So the answer is I put no weight,
no weight into this at all, as in zip Bo bupkis.
And here's why this is one of those stories which
(13:52):
is completely so. First of all, the Jets lost the game,
and Zach Wilson wasn't all that great. He happened to
put up better numbers and Mahomes because Mahomes had a
terrible day against the Jets defense. But let's not get
carried away here. And so the fact that they lost
the game, this is going to win. This story is
going to win the Pulitzer Prize for myth making. Okay,
(14:15):
I don't really have that, but it should win the
Pulitzer Prize for mythmaking. And as Dion would say, it's
bull Jrunk And did he pass the ball around in
the locker room before the Jets game there to calm
the anxiety? Is a human xanax?
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Is that what he is?
Speaker 1 (14:28):
I don't know, but Aaron Rodgers did not did not
put some kind of voodoo spell on Zach Wilson, so
he played better and there was zero expectations. So anything
Zach Wilson did the Tafway dec it's like, okay, we
got something. So stop with the legends and the myths
and the fairy tales. It's all contrived. Right, well, this
is not contrived. If you would like to be part
(14:49):
of the lines are open, if you'd like to be on.

Speaker 1 (16:30):
We had a pianist in studio for the beginning part
of the show.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
It is up on the Unist.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Yeah, it'll be on the podcast Eddie coming up later
on We get done here this hour. And he's got
quite the story. Inca Terror is his name on the show.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
And I looked into his story and it is something else. Man,
I have a question.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
So he said he lost his site when he was
a child and it was like war related nor though
something happened on his website.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Yeah, I mean, can I want to with the class
that I was Sam doesn't want to relive it to it?
I was sorry, I have a change, Okay. So he's
the Inca Terror, right, Yeah. So he was raised in
like a very uh primitive tribe indigenous right yeah. And
his well, it sounds like his father was going to
(17:23):
sacrifice him to some kind of inc in god whoa
and apparently was in the process of doing this by
hitting him in the head with a hammer like instrument,
and his mother decided, I can't let this happen. And
ran off with him into the forest I guess or
woods or a jungle whatever, and I don't know and
(17:45):
prove Wow, took him to the hospital and they saved him,
but he lost his eyesight. And then he got adopted
by an American family and brought to the United States
and there and then the rest is history. That is crazy.
He's insane. Yeah, he went from that to being a
world class pianist. Pianists. Yeah, that's amazing. That's crazy, it is.
(18:10):
I read it and I was just pretty wild. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Probably should have read that before I asked him some
of those questions. But you know, that's uh, you know,
what are you gonna do? He went some you lose abdy.
Speaker 4 (18:24):
I didn't know people were still like making sacrifices, like.
Speaker 6 (18:27):
Oh yeah, if you talked to some of those soldiers
that went to certain battles in the Middle East, and
there's certain parts of that that they believe wild things
about honor killing.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
Yeah, yeah, crazy.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
Have you guys seen the movie Apocalypto No, No, Gibson
Field absolutely incredible movie.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
Yeah, and this is so good.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
I think it's just very authentic. I mean it takes
place sort of like pre Europeans coming to the Americas,
and it's just there's some of that stuff.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
There's still like places in the Amazon where there's like
people living that haven't have no technology.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
I think there are still in some super remote places
like cannibals.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Yes, there's an island I believe where they're You don't
want to go there, North Sentinel Island, that's what it's called.
You're not allowed to go there, actually, Yeah, because if
we see them, that will probably give them diseases and.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
All that they wouldn't give us diseases.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
I know. I'm sure some YouTubers trying to get there
right now. The YouTube video and I've seen pictures of
like you know, flying over in a helicopter. They're shooting
and they're looking like, you know, God, God knows what
they think that is. Probably they think it's out of there,
whether they are religious beliefs. So I was like a
huge drone show right above them, Yeah, send the drones down.
(19:42):
That a fireworks show, the new drone show. Wow, that
is a hell of a story. Geez.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Yeah, I knew a little bit about it. I guess
I didn't know the complete, the full, the full monty,
but inc has been a big fan of the show
for many, many years.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
We go back, probably man almost twenty year. Oh wow,
it's been a long time.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Let's go to our friend Andrea. She is world renowned.
You see her on the Athletic, well you read her
on the Athletic, but you say she pops up on
TV sometimes as well, multimedia celebrity. And she's got the
star chart out right there, our friend Andrea Virgo in
service on ex Hello Andrea, Welcome Andrea?
Speaker 7 (20:25):
Who are you?
Speaker 1 (20:27):
If I was any better, I'd be Dak, but not
Dak Prescott because the forty nine ers are going to
win that game by a wide margin on Sunday.
Speaker 7 (20:38):
Yeah, I really look forward to it.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
Now.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Is there anything in the chart I need to know
about here? Because I got a TV I got a
gambling show today, I got you on TV. So is
anything I need to know? I think brock Perdy will
be a fine right, he should be all right.
Speaker 7 (20:48):
I have to look at his chart.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
I'm so confident. I don't even need that.
Speaker 7 (20:53):
I'm so confident, so so good.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
He's never lost an NFL game, not yet. He will
lose plenty, but he hasn't lost one yet.
Speaker 7 (21:01):
No, he's great. I'll tell you Capricorns are super ambitious.
I mean, the worst thing you can do is call
them mister irrelevant, and he'll show us. So he's doing great.
I'm proud of him, very yappy.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
He looks like I saw him at the Super Bowl
last year walking.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Around the radio row. He looks like he's about twelve
years old. So he's got the boyish looks doing as well.
Speaker 7 (21:22):
And so yeah, yeah, he's an old soul, but he's
in a young boppy.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
Very yes, very very young here. But you were we
were going to break the way were doing the baseball.
Speaker 8 (21:31):
We're doing the baseball.
Speaker 7 (21:32):
I'm going to do after sports astrology. One of my
favorite niches is relationship compatibility.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Oh okay, compatibility, all right, let's do it. Here we go.
Speaker 7 (21:43):
I thought, what's interesting? I looked at a J. Preller's chart,
Bob Melvin.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Oh, yeah, they supposedly are at loggerheads. They don't like
each other there in San Diego, the manager and the Jas.
Speaker 7 (21:54):
And you know what's interesting. I mean, I know you
heard the Giants fired Gabe Kapler, and that was saw that.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
He was very upset. He took his fruit smoothie and
ran away.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
He was very upset.
Speaker 7 (22:04):
I called it a full moon Friday firing and I
did a podcast on it.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
So you think they did on the phone? Why why
did they not just wait? And the season only had
a few more days? Yeah, what's the point of doing it?
Speaker 3 (22:17):
Then he had to measure in the last couple of days.
Speaker 7 (22:19):
Who cares fallhands a scorpio? And I think they just
had it out. And Gabe, being a Leo, there's a
lot of pride in Leo energy. He probably said something,
Oh fine, I'll just leave you know that.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
That's my into well fun fact Gabe Kapler before he
became a manager for a couple of teams in the
Big Leagues, the Phillies and the Giants.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
You know what his job was before then?
Speaker 7 (22:38):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (22:38):
He was just la, wasn't he He was?
Speaker 1 (22:40):
He worked for us. He was a baseball contributor for
Fox Sports radio and television.
Speaker 7 (22:45):
Yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
Does that mean he's coming back to Fox?
Speaker 3 (22:48):
I don't know. Maybe he will.
Speaker 7 (22:49):
Well, the Mets just fired Buck show Walter, so it's
an opportunity saw that. But yeah, Show Walter and Eppler,
by the way, do not get along.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
Well.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
The room I heard was did the Mets want to
hire Craig Council, who's now available from the Brewers.
Speaker 7 (23:04):
So yeah, just so you know, Buck Showalter May twenty third,
nineteen fifty six. Gemini, Billy Eppler September sixteenth, nineteen seventy
five Virgo, and they're really clashing about how to use
vogel voc. Every other day they class on something, so
that's kind of a battle of the Titans. And then
(23:25):
Preller aj Preller, he's in Let's he's June twentieth, nineteen
ninety seven, and Bob Milvin October twenty eight, nineteen sixty one.
So we have Scorpio, which is very intense. I admire
that Gemini not so much, but the compatibility Ben this
(23:47):
is key. AJ Preller has Mars in Taurus and that's
right opposing Bob Milvin's son in Scorpio. So Mar the
post is on Mars, energy, assertion, aggression, arguments, and compatibility
stays the same. It's not affected by transits. And then
he has Yournics in Scorpio that's generational hes born in
(24:08):
the seventies and uronics in Scorpio Conjunctpaw Melvin son in Scorpio,
so it's like very erratic.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
Hold on, need I need to drink Andrea, hold on
a sec here is my god? All right?
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Well is the bottom line here, Andrea is it's not
a good situation, right, a good.
Speaker 7 (24:23):
Situation and the giants. We're hoping he'd come over here,
but that doesn't look like it's. Oh there you go, pour.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
One for me too, please, Yeah, I have a couple
of pops.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
Why not? What the heck? All right?
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Well, Andrea, thank you very much. I appreciate that, and
good luck to you. We're going service on Twitter. Our
friend Andrea, she always has the insight from the star
charts and whatnot. There she goes, she's got her own
walk off music. Andrea, you know you're a big deal
when you have your own walk off music. It's fitting
for her, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
It is funny she.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Likes it because Roberto played porn.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
Music when she was on and this is much better.
It's much class here.
Speaker 4 (24:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
I still in favor of the X Files theme. That
was the best. Yeah. I don't think she liked that though,
No she didn't. That's why I playing it. But this
is fine.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
It kind of fits like the hippie Northern California vibe.
You know that whole thing so kind.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
Of works, isn't it Aquarius? One of the horsecope signs
if you're an Aquarius, isn't that right?
Speaker 3 (25:19):
Yeah, so it's astrological sing astrological call.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
I assume that. Okay, all right, we'll have a double dose. Hey,
we're gonna have puck the world coming up. But right now,
let's get you caught up on everything going on in
the overnight. Say bye bye to the wild Card round
of the baseball playoffs. Here is the Mermaid and Eddie Garcia.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
And you know what I was saying, would be really
great if you could grab that Grand Slam home run
by the Phillies guy for me, all right on the air,
behind the scenes, how do we make the hot Dogs out?
So postseason baseball? Then we had the Wildcard series. We
had the Blue Jays, Rays, Marlins, and Brewers all in
(25:57):
the postseason. You know how many wins they combined for?
Speaker 1 (26:00):
How many wins? Zero?
Speaker 3 (26:02):
Zero? Not one win? That's embarrassing for those four teams.
As we had the sweeps, two game sweeps in all
four of the series.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
I did see though, Anie, the Diamondbacks and Orioles lost
each of them. Had a couple of years ago, lost
one hundred and ten games, and now they've won a
playoff series and people are celebrating that. But didn't they
tank the Diamondbacks and Orioles for years? I know the
Orioles tank for years. Maybe the Diamondbacks were trying, they
just sucked.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
But anyway, the Twins closed out the Blue Jays with
the two nothing victories. Terrible, terrible manager by Toronto, is
that right? Yeah? Game Schneider, John Schneider.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
I picked him Sonny Gray.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
Sounds like a guy that should be playing golf. Any Yeah,
five shutout innings. Five relievers then followed him up with
four shutout innings, So that's not good news for Toronto.
Speaker 8 (26:55):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
Minnesota is the AL Central champs and they are moving
on in the postseason the first time since two thousand
and two. Toronto's dropped six straight playoff games. Up next four,
Minnesota will be Ben's favorite team, the AL West champion Houston.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
Here we go, twe kis, here we go, Here we go,
twe kes here we go.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
The Rangers closed out the Rays with a seven to
one road victory. Texas the four runs in the fourth inning,
including an Evan Carter two run homer, o'donalas Garcia my
cousin a solo shot, all in support of Nathan and
Valli the starter six and two thirds innings for him,
one run, eight strikeouts. Tampa Bay's now dropped seven straight
postseason games. On to the next round for Texas, they
will face the AL East champ Baltimore Orioles Phillies close
(27:38):
out the Marlins with a seven to one win, Bryson
Stott with a grand slam. We're gonna hear that in
just a moment, Philadelphia start you Aaron Nola, seven shotout
innings and the Phillies move on up next their NL
East rivals, the Atlanta Braves, and the Diamondbacks close out
the NL Central NL Central leading Brewers or winning Brewers.
(27:58):
The champions of the Central was the final.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
So we are guaranteed Eddy of having a Nationally West
versus National leagueese.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
Yes, that's right.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
That's a bold take by me, Thank you.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
Yeah. Arizona was down to nothing in this one and
then could tell Marte go ahead two RBI single in
the sixth inning, a four run sixth inning for Arizona.
They will take on the NL West rivals the LA Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
I will be a witness to the big blue wrecking crew.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
That is good to know. We'll look for a first
hand report. I don't think Marlins Man is going to
be there though. Unfortunately, guess what, he's not going to
see his Marlins playing that next round either, So there
you go.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
Well hey, well, no, the reason he went to Milwaukee
because the Marlins was supposed to play the Brewers and
then at the last minute they.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
Ended up playing in the Phillies. But he had already
bought the plane ticket to Milwaukee. How did that work
out for you? I got a lot of cred on
social media. TV time. Please let's go to the progressive

Iowa Sam. Progressive play of.

Speaker 1 (29:06):
God, he has lifted the roof off the building. Phip,
they're on top seven to nothing.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
I always thought that as a Dobman Philadelphia w I
P and the the famous w I P in the
Phillies Radio Networks, Philadelphia the closest baseball has to Buffalo,
and in terms of environment, like a Bills game. Bill's Mafia,
Phillies mafia. I suppose so, I suppose.
Speaker 4 (29:34):
So I've been to a couple of games of Citizens Bank.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
I have as well play the Braves. Actually, nice ball park.
I've been that whole sports complex.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
Yeah, I was just gonna say that, Phillies gotta do
it right there. They got the football stadium on one side,
they got the it's like a.
