Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Welcome in. It's our number one of our podcast, recorded overnight,
so you have fresh audio content delivered into your ear
drums here whenever you decided to listen, hopefully early in
the day. Talk about National League Championship Series action Game
two last night in Philly, and how impressive have the
(00:22):
fighting Phil's been to start the National League Championship Series?
They win ten nothing. If there was a mercy rule,
it would have been used. And what can the Diamondbacks
do to at least make this a somewhat competitive series?
It is not that right now. And we'll move away
from the National League Championship Series and talk about the
Dodgers for a second. What message are the Dodgers sending
(00:46):
by keeping Dave Roberts? And in the dugout we'll talk
about all that and more. Right now here, it is
push it, Push it good. Push that button our number one.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Now.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
That is how you beat up a weaker opponent, write
a book and send it to Dave Roberts. Okay, send
that Philadelphia, Send that to Dave Roberts. That's how you
play the Diamondbacks in a postseason game. My god, Well,
come in the beginning of another night of the Ben
(01:22):
Malor Show.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
We are in the air everywhere.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Cheat Kat cheek, as we enjoy the grand theater of
audio existence coast to coast, quarter of the border and
beyond on the mast and humongously powerful microphones of FSR
amminnating live from the Derby the audio home run Derby,

The way tire buying shoot.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Me in ear lead.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
This hour coming from the Delaware Valley was Game two
of the NLCS.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
I had no idea that they would activate the Little.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
League Mercy rule in Game two of the National League Championship.
Says to who we are the Diamondbacks driving their station
wagon right in to the face of the sun at
Citizens Bank Park will play date with the Phillies. They
could have saved everyone some trouble by just going back
to Arizona with their tails between their legs. I didn't
(02:36):
know snakes had tails, But my god, if you saw
the game, you know what I'm talking about. But perhaps
not Kyle Schwarber bang bang pair of home runs, the
rotund leadoff hitter walloping Arizona with a couple of home runs.
Philly hit three home runs and scored a total of
(02:57):
ten runs a playoff game ten to nothing, Game two
of the National League Championship Series. So if you are
keeping score, and I don't know why you would be
doing that, everything's on the internet these days. But Philadelphia
up two to oh heading to the Land of Cacti
and Sunshine for a Thursday afternoon game three and more carnage.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
This time in the Valley of the sun.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
So let us discuss the question, how impressive have the
fighting Phil's been here to start the NLCS. Now, normally
we start with the losing team, but there ain't much
to talk about with that team. They they blow, So
we're gonna start with the team that's good here. How
impressive have the Phillies been here to start the NLCS?
So I've got Midway, Guam and shiny buttons, and we
(03:47):
will tie all of these things together and we will
make oh Mercy nurse because that's where the Diamondbacks were screaming.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Oh Mercy please. All right, So my first thought on
the NLCS.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
This is how you do it poetry in motion, and
I continue to be jealous. Now I've gotten feedback from
Philly fans, like the Fry Daddy, for example, who are
upset with me. They feel like I'm some kind of
jinks here because I have been Benny Bright's side when
talking about the Philadelphia baseball team.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
But that's all I can do. The Phillies much like
the team that I like.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
The Dodgers have a pair of three hundred million dollars batters,
but unlike Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman, the guys in
Philly actually get it done, Bryce Harper and Trey Turner,
And even when they don't get it done, the Phillies
still find ways to win the game. And they live
up to the contract. All right now, I know the
Dodgers don't care, and Mookie Bets is probably bowling right now.
(04:48):
I don't even know what's going on in the baseball playoffs,
and Freddie Freeman's probably out somewhere fishing. But those two
guys the exon Valdis in the Baseball playoffs here against Arizona.
But you see the talent disparity between Philadelphia and Arizona
on a nightly basis and spoiler alert, it was the
same way in the divisional round, but it didn't play
out that way. The Phillies have put a clinic out
(05:11):
on the field, varsity versus junior varsity. It looks like
a family get together at Thanksgiving when you try to
go down to the park, or you said I'm gonna
go down the park and we'll have the the adults
play the kids and the adults in the room.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Would be the fight in Phils here.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Philly has been a team that has played like they
are possessed. Kyle Schwarbers started getting into the act here
in the National League Championship Series, but the fight in
Phils have turned into a classic nineteen eighties arcade game
from Midway called Rampage.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
They are on a rampage here.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
They're destroying and devouring everything in sight. At this point,
it's like the Navy slogan by laying by air by sea.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
There's all kinds of Philly that porn. We call it
going around.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
For example, did you know that Philadelphia has out homered
their opponents by fifteen long balls so far this postseason?
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Does that sound outrageous?
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Does that sound crazy, Well, it is the greatest home
run differential for any team in any eight game span
within a single postseason in history. Of course, they try
to hit home runs every time off. That's kind of
the way they play baseball. How about the Phillies, not
known for having dynamics starting pitching, you wouldn't know it
from the postseason. Philadelphia starters now are six to ohero
(06:36):
this postseason with a sparkling one point five to five ERA,
and the number that is staggering fifty one strikeouts compared
to four walks. Fifty one strikeouts and four walks. And
as a pitching coach told me years ago about professional baseball,
as long as you don't walk batters, the hitter will
(06:59):
get him so out the majority of the time. If
you merely put the ball within the strike zone and
force the hitter to make contact, they will get themselves
out more times than not.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
It won't because of your great pitching, but over the years,
that of course has gone away. You don't challenge certain
hitters and all that.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
But anyway, as a result of all these numbers, this
Philly stat porn. The fighting Phills are seven and one
in the playoffs, and they are knocking on the door
for a return to the Fall Classic and another mashup
with a Texas baseball team. Hopefully this time the Rangers
are not the ass you know, one thousand and two,
(07:37):
one thousand holes there from Houston. So the Phillies have
trailed at the end of only two full innings in
the postseason. That is the fewest of the first eight
games of the postseason of all time. So it just
gets better and better for Philadelphia. Now we pivot. I
think we've covered all the stat porn for the Philly
suffice to say, so we go to the losing locker room,
(07:59):
which is not the better story.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Because there's just it's just morbid. It is just morbid.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
And so let's ask Tory Leavello, that is the manager
of the Arizona baseball team who looked like a genius
when matched up against the Dodgers and now not so much.
Here's Tory Leavello asked about what the heck his team
can do at this point.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
Look, well, we could be playing on the moon. Everybody's
talking about coming into this environment.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
And I don't care.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
Like, we got to play better baseball.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Everybody's got to be better.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
You start with the manager and then trickle all the
way down through the entire entire team. We got we
gotta play diamondback baseball. What we watched out there was
not anything that we have done for a long period
of time.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
So we gotta regroup.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
We got to regroup the trups.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
You gonna find a way to get done.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Yeah, well, I gotta tell you, that kind of looked
like the Diamondbacks. Like what they did against the Dodgers
didn't look like the Arizona Diamondbacks. That's diamond baseball, right,
that's in my life, that's the Arizona Diamondbacks. The way
they played the first two games of the National League
Championship Series was a return to normalcy. So why don't
(09:11):
we answer the question will help out Tory Leavello because
he obviously has no answers. If he's saying, get back
to play diamondback baseball, what can the Diamondbacks do to
at least make this appear like a competitive series?
Speaker 1 (09:24):
So I've got two words, lost baggage.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
If the Phillies, bats and helmets end up in Guam,
they likely will have trouble hitting. The way things are going, though,
they'll go down to like a Big five or something
like that. They'll pick up or a foot locker, they'll
pick up some pickleball paddles, and they'll start hitting home
runs right. Hell, at this point, Tory Levello, the manager,
(09:49):
should contact I don't know if this guy's still around.
I know his show got canceled a couple years ago.
Less Stroud Survivor Man. And because you look at the
Phillies here and they're cooking with gas, right, They've got
the gas going.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
They are just cooking, and the Diamondbacks.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Are rubbing a couple of rocks together, looking for a
spark here far away from civilized baseball. They're hiking out
in the wilderness, out in the woods. Now, the good
news is the Phillies do not have another big name
starter for Game three. The bad news is the guy
they're going to pitch has been wonderful in his two
(10:24):
playoff appearances. Ranger Suarez, left handed pitcher, will be on
the mound there, and he wasn't very good during the
regular season, but he was very impressive against the Atlanta
Braves in the divisional round. And the Rangers are going
with the guy who's got a very hard name to pronounce,
Brandon fat Or Fight fought, fought, not fat. He looks
it looks like fat. It's it's fought PFAA d T boy.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Somewhere in the family tree.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
They probably should have said, maybe we should change that name,
you know, maybe we should have kind of dumb it
down a little bit.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
But Brandon fought. He of an era of close to six.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Of course, he also looked great against the Dodgers, as
everyone did for Arizona. Not exactly Kurt Schilling versus Roy
Holliday in Game three between the Phillies and the Diamondbacks.
All right, last word here if you haven't been paying attention,
there seems to be a common thread. As I get
out some frustration, we're gonna go to Los Angeles, where
(11:19):
they've made it official. The chief nerd Andrew Friedman, has
announced that manager Dave Roberts and the entire coaching staff
will return for the twenty twenty four season. It's not
a surprise, but it is now official. This move coming
(11:39):
days after the lowly Diamondbacks swept the Dodgers in an
embarrassing best of five exit stage. Left from the postseason.
Roberts under contract through twenty twenty five. So what message
are the Dawyers sending by keeping Dave Roberts in. They
(12:00):
all right, so this is easy. They're they're announcing to
the entire world here they're buying advertising that Dave Roberts
is simply pushing shiny buttons. That's all Dave Roberts is doing.
He's pushing shiny buttons, following the three ring binder. And
it's like we have discussed on these airwaves over the
(12:23):
last number of years here that Roberts is merely a
middle manager between the front office, a liaison from the
locker room to the front office. He's an android skipper,
it's Dodger baseball automation. However, he does not write Roberts
or edit the script, and he merely follows the orders
of his higher ups there and so therefore the Dodgers
(12:45):
cannot hold Roberts accountable. It's no different than the Yankees
allowing Aaron Boone to come back. It's the same thing.
The Dodgers and Yankees might as well be one franchise
because they're operating the same exact way.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
You've got a group of super nerds who ultimately make all.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
The big decisions, and the manager is just merely there
to relay the messaging from above and you look at
what's happening.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
We hope there's a great awake. I have a dream.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
My dream is the Fighting Phils play the Texas Rangers
in the World Series. Because Philadelphia, while they do use
some analytics, and so do the Texas Rangers, they are
not completely obsessed with the analytics. Now, I look at
Philly and old school GM Dave don Browski, who all
this guy does is build teams to get to the
World Series. Is he mister analytical? No, no, but clearly
(13:34):
he knows a thing or two about playoff baseball and
what it takes in the postseason, unlike many of these
analytical driven franchises that seem to vanish after winning one
hundred games during the regular season. And you've got Bruce Bochi,
who's not someone that's just following blindly what.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
He's told from higher ups there. And these teams have.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Right now, they've got that mamba mentality. And while the
Atlanta Braves, the Dodgers and others are enjoying a nice
tropical vacation, it is the Ben Malor Show. If you
would like to be part. These speakeasy rules are in effect,
but we'd love to hear from me.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
You can join us.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
The lines are open, and we'd like to alert all
the aphillis down the line that the technical gremlins have
been exterminated by the fine engineering staff here at the
Fox Sports Radio Network iHeartMedia.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
They have destroyed all of the gremlins.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
They will return, but that means the Iowa Minute, the
greatest thirty five minutes in radio. The Iowa Minute will
return later on. That'll be an hour number three.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
We are on exit.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Sounds like they're going to start charging for X soon,
so we'll be off that. We'll let you know where
we go so you can follow us whatever platform is
free that we decide to go to. But for now,
we're on there until they officially start charging. And I
guess some listeners were sending me messag just saying that
they're gonna start charging soon. So I said, okay, thanks
for the heads up, and I'll figure out where we're
(15:06):
gonna go to to interact with you during the show,
the live show, and we'll bring our partey to where
they don't charge for the party. There's no cover fee,
and because if we have to pay, you would have
to pay, we don't want you to pay. We know
you're cheaper than us, so that's the way that goes.
But we are in there for now on X at
(15:27):
Ben Mallor. That is at Ben Mahlor for the time being.
So everything is sunshine, rainbows and lollipops in Philadelphia. But
the Philly fans upset with a celebrity admirer of their team.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
What is that all about. We'll get to it and
we will do it next.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Mallor
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 5 (15:59):
If you listen for five good minutes, you know the
Ben Maler Show is not for the squeamish or the
faint of heart. You're invited to join our secret society online.
You'll get to mingle with other like minded listeners on Facebook.
It's just a few clicks away, just like our page.
Go to Facebook dot com slash Benmahlor Show and now
lie from the tyrac dot com Fox Sports Radio Studios.
(16:21):
It's Ben Malor.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Fir Kat right since ays I am disappointed the gremlins
in the studio were wiped out so quickly, if only
they spread to Eddie's mike and the phone lines, you'd
have the perfect show.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Four hours of uninterrupted matter who would and who could
say no to that? Indeed, I know for a kat
that you have announced on the Internet that you are
a proud native son of Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago, San Francisco
(16:55):
and New York in promoting the TV show, which is.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
No calls and mostly me. Although I forget the guy
I work with on the TV show. He's he's talking
more and more each week. I don't know what that's
that's all about. I don't know his name.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
He used to work at Fox Sports Radio, but well
it doesn't work there anymore. Late Night Drug Tester says
with Dave Roberts coming back the nightmare of a tweet
free Roberto continues, Yeah, now you Roberto will not be
returning to to Twitter.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Well he might never they start charging. He's definitely not.
He's definitely not coming back.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Yaphimi in Chicago says, Hey, Mallard a plus and a
fifteen dollars Pretzel on the mal monologue, make these nerds
that rely on software come manage the team themselves. Robot
Roberts is limited by his programming.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
New Cubs fans that.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Don't know what losing is chased off Joe Madden for
their precious analytics.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Yeah, how's that going in Chicago? Those analytics? That is
that going? Well? No, that's so good.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Okay, yeah, that's fine.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
They renovated Rigby Field. Now it's like Toontown over there
at Wrigley Field.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
They got a charge for everything like Wrigleyville there and
the ballpark and all that. Joe Madden, that's a great example.
Joe Madden, old school guy, got upset, got frustrated. He
was there at the beginning of the analytical revolution in Tampa,
but it never got to the point it's gotten now
and the obsession. And you'd like to think if the
(18:34):
Texas Rangers with an old school manager like Bruce Bochie
win the World Series, or the Phillies win the World
Series with an old school GM and Dave Dombrowski, that
will at the very least open some eyes among the
aristocrat owners that you don't have to hire another Ivy
League nerd that to run your baseball ops.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
You don't have to do it. There is another way.
And it's like that.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
If you remember Moneyball when that started The thing that
made moneyball special was that no one else was doing right.
That was the thing that was the first thing. It
was like that we have a niche. We have found
a niche in the marketplace. No one else is doing it.
And the same thing with analytics. At the beginning, it
was like, well, no one else was doing it, so
we have an edge here. We're analytically based and there
(19:20):
were only a couple teams that were doing it. It
was like a cheat code for the teams in baseball
that didn't spend a lot of money and so they
could level the playing field against the teams that spent
a lot of a lot.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
Of the resources. Okay, fine, but now everyone's doing it, so.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
The advantage is actually to go old school, to go away.
You don't want to go where the mob is. You
want to go away from the mob of humanity because
they're already, they're already. You want to do the other rerection.
This job is not that easy. Supermarket Steve wrights And says,
if they charge for X, you can always do like
(19:56):
Petros and give out your cell phone number so we
can all text you.
Speaker 5 (20:01):
That's a really good idea.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
It's a good idea it's well, Doc, Mike has my
cell phone number if you want, and uh, yeah, yeah, no,
I might, I might go that. Well, I think Petro's
what he does. He has like a burner phone. I
think so I could get like a burner phone. But
then I'd still be paying for that. I'm sure the
company would cover that, right, They've had a lot of
money at this company.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
I'm sure they would take care of that, just expense
that every month.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Now, Matt later is fan Matt needs a safe space
over there because this guy is freaking out. He's really
upset that we're gonna be leaving X soon when they
start charging. He says, they're gonna start charging a dollar
a year. Surely you're not that cheap. Well, don't call
me surely.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
And it's it's like that line from Tom Petty, And
it was really it was about the radio business. But
the same logic applies that all the boys upstairs want
to see is how much you'll pay for what you
used to get for free. And my position on social media,
First of I don't even like social media. I liked
it at first, but then I saw the animals that
(21:05):
are on there, and I realized I don't really need it,
and I pop on there every once in a while,
but it doesn't run my life. For a while there,
it did run my life.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
It did.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
I thought it was phenomenal and it was wonderful and
all that. But over the years I had the age
of reason where I realized that on social media you
are the product, So why would you pay to be
the product? Right, It's like a cattle auction and the
cattle paying to be slaughtered, Like, why would you do that?
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Even if it's a dollar.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
It's the principle of it, especially when there's other social
media platforms that also are warped and have a ridiculous
commentary on there that you can just go to and
then you're still the product, but you're not paying for
the product for a dollar, Yeah, exactly, And for that
(22:01):
one dollar, I will avoid that matrix and I will
go to a different matrix with different algorithms and.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Different hand picked influencers and all that, and I'll be fine.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Everything will be okay, And if you want to join us,
that's great, and if you don't want to join us,
that's fine. But over the years, I've been here a
long time. When I started in sports radio, it was
so long ago. We had these things called fax machines
and people would literally send faxes in to have us
read their commentary on the air.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
And then for a while we had the Fox Text
text line that we had for a number of years.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
And then when Twitter came around about fifteen years ago
or so, we went on Twitter.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
And now it's x and the.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
World's always revolving, and so it's everything's fine.
Speaker 6 (22:52):
Thank God for the Internet.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Not really, not so much, not so much so.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Philadelphia Philly fans are not happy with one of their
I guess.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
He's a celebrity fan. I think he was just hanging
out with his with his brother. But the Philly fans upset,
who are they upset with?
Speaker 2 (23:09):
While they are upset with America's a favorite star tight
end Travis Kelsey and Travis Kelsey enjoying some downtime at
Phillies games with his brother there and well he was drinking.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Bud Light and that upset a number.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Of Philadelphia Philly fans who there are annoyed with that.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
But Kelsey's he's a total whore.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
I mean, I give him credit, he's not even trying
and I'd probably do the same thing. But he's like
mister Pfizer, mister bud Light. You know, he does all
these endorsements like any controversial company.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
He's like, I'm in, man, I'm in, pay me, pay me,
pay me. I'm there. And people were goofing him.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Now the thing that's unfair and I had the I
think it was the fry Daddy and few other people
upset because during the wildcard round and the divisional round,
when teams were celebrating baseball wins, they were pouring bud
Light on top of each other in the locker room.
And it's like, well, that's the sponsor of Major League
(24:14):
Baseball that they provide the alcohol, So that's why they
were That's why they were doing that.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
Anyway, be sure to catch live editions of The Ben
Maller Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Hi, this is Jay Glazer.
Speaker 6 (24:28):
And you may know me for the world of football
or fighting or even shows like HBO's Ballers or you
don't know is for my entire life, I have lived
in something I refer to as the gray depression anxiety.
So now I'm coming out with a new podcast, Unbreakable,
a mental health podcast with Jay Glazer where each week
while we talk about mental health, I hope to describe it,
(24:49):
give it words. Listen to Unbreakable with Jay Glazer on
the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
You get your podcasts.
Speaker 5 (24:58):
Ilklahoma City apparently will be a waving Kevin Porter Jr.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Oh Is that right?
Speaker 5 (25:03):
Yeah? Apparently so so they.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
The woman that he's accused of beating the snot out
of his claiming it wasn't as bad as everyone says
it was. That is she trying to get like what's
the what's the goal there? Is she getting back together
with him? She's trying to get money out of him?
Like did she did they have a talk like, hey,
(25:28):
my career is over. You gotta you gotta do damage control.
I'll pay you some money, like because he's got a
lot of money that was supposed to be coming his way,
which I don't believe is coming his way.
Speaker 5 (25:38):
Well, if you're asking me to guess, because I don't know,
I'm I'm guessing guessing she still wants to have a
relationship with this person. She says that he did not
hit me, never balled up his fists.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
And hit me, hit her head against the wall.
Speaker 5 (25:57):
I says definitely didn't punch me numerous times in the face,
although she did go to the uh the hospital for
some reason, they decided that she needed to go to hospital.
But he did not ball up his fist and hit her.
He just slappings. Okay, I mean maybe he threw her
into a wall.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (26:13):
She didn't ball his fists.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
She might have run into the she ran into his hands.
He might have been standing there and she ran in like.
Speaker 7 (26:20):
Uh, like I've heard animal, I've heard that defense before.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Ben, does that work?
Speaker 5 (26:25):
Did it work for you?
Speaker 3 (26:26):
Sam?
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Didn't?
Speaker 7 (26:27):
I didn't use it. There was a woman in my uh,
a woman in my city when I was growing up
in your city. She she she was accused of manslaughter
for against her husband, and she said that he ran
into the knife that she was holding and she uh,
I think it did help her.
Speaker 5 (26:45):
Wow? What was that? Was that scene in fight club?
Where was it ed Norton like beat himself up in
his boss's office. So, I mean that's possible. I guess right,
he could throw She could have thrown herself into the wall.
What was her name again, Kaiser Gondra.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
There was a years ago there was a grant Gondra
in the n b A.
Speaker 5 (27:11):
Yeah, any relations I don't think.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
So, not all those grandest what's the last name? I
have no idea.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
I'm really I gotta tell you, Eddie. I mean, I
used to be so up on the w n b
A monologues and I just lost my way.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
I don't know what happened.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
I don't remember that I was so I was so
woke for a couple of years, and I just you
never heard of New York's leading scorer Kaiser.

Taylor Swift the number one I'm a celebrity fan of
the NFL allegedly well that.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
In the Charger Woman at Fake Charger Woman.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
So Taylor Swift has apparently purchased an entire suite at
Arrowhead Stadium for the rest of the twenty twenty three season.
Let me repeat that for those of you in the
back of the room. Taylor Swift will be at every
Chiefs game. She's gonna have her own suite at Era. Now,
(29:28):
I thought she was going back on the road. I
thought that she was just taking a little bit of
a break from her travels around the globe to give
musical salvation.
Speaker 7 (29:38):
Yeah, I thought she was on tour.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
I know, how can you go to every Chiefs game
if you're on tour, if you're in like New Zealand,
how can you go to a Chiefs game?
Speaker 7 (29:46):
Well, tomorrow, I guess it starts on October eighteenth, which
is already today for a lot of people.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Well, yeah, but now this weekend he's got a jet.
Chiefs and Chargers play at Aero. Will she be there
for the week seven matchup charge the Chiefs?
Speaker 1 (30:04):
I don't know. I don't either.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
And then November fifth in London, the Chiefs play the
Dolphins in London.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Will she go to London? She might already be in London,
Who knows.
Speaker 7 (30:15):
Maybe she has a body double.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
That's good. I like that, like it.
Speaker 7 (30:19):
Maybe she has a concord jet. Yeah, those things can
get around.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
He's rich. How much does a sweeter arrowhead stadium cost?
Can't be that much.
Speaker 7 (30:27):
It's like pocket lint for her.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
She puts makeup on. She makes more money than a
sweet cost, what else do we have? Al Michaels said he
did not know how to describe Taylor Swift.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
Come on, Al, it's not that hard. I know you're old.
I'm old.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
I'm getting old too, But come on, batch out by
you and hot rumor from Hollywood Life.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
I don't even know what that is.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
Apparently it's a tabloid and they are reporting that Taylor
Swift and Travis Kelcey may buy a home together in
Greater Kansas City.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
Now, why would why would you do that?
Speaker 2 (31:05):
And if you're Travis Kelcey, listen, she's the one that
wears the pants in the relationship. She's the rich one,
so you're wealthy, but she's rich, so have her buy
the house.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
I don't buy that.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
She's traveling all over the place anyway. She's got a
house in New York, here, there, and everywhere.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
I'll drop my pants right here. Come on, it's ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
And as soon as I get the green light from Coop,
because I did send him, we have an audio clip
that we're going to play. It's all part of my
tush talk. And as soon as I get the green
light on that, we'll play that. But until then let's
go to Poppy. Picking with Poppy in San Diego, as
he will bring the ratings to a screeching halt. Hello Poppy,
no God please no, yeah, hello, I mean picking with
(31:54):
the Chicken.
Speaker 7 (31:54):
We actually got that right one and all here.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Yeah, well, that's the only time we're doing that. I've
been told that you have continued to send out chicken
propaganda on social media. So we are canceling Picking with
the Chicken after one week.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
Yes, we are canceling it. We are.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
I feel bad for Abigail the Chicken, ahead for the chicken.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
But I'm sorry Pipe. Yes, it's over. The bit is over.
Speaker 4 (32:22):
Let me tell you something.
Speaker 7 (32:23):
People want to hear the audio version and the video version.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Listen. You do whatever you want to do, Poppy. You
you are free to do.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
You can do it for the seven people that follow
you there on social media. You can do picking with
the Chicken. But we're canceling the bit. I cannot support.
Abigail the Chicken is very upset with you, and I'm sorry.
All right, You're you're a bird brain.

I was told that it was a one time thing.
You promoted the chicken. We have picking with the chicken.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
But now I'm getting reports from I'm allorable, let's just
talk over each other, stupid all right. I was saying,
is it that hard? I was saying, please, all right, listen,
don't you want to promote the product? I was sam
board off one on one.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
All right. If the host is talking and the caller

Speaker 2 (33:15):
It's not that hard, all right, I'll go back to
I'll teach you at radio school.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
Anyway, all right, so here's the deal, Poppy. Uh yeah,
I gave you a shot, and we did it. I
thought the bit went pretty well, but multiple sources have
told me that you've continued to do this on social media,
so it's over. They've sent me links that you've You've
got your own chicken, which is not Abigail the Chicken,
and I support. I stand with Abigail the Chicken. That's
(33:42):

Here we go.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Welcome in. It's our number one of our podcast, recorded overnight,
so you have fresh audio content delivered into your ear
drums here whenever you decided to listen, hopefully early in
the day. Talk about National League Championship Series action Game
two last night in Philly, and how impressive have the
(00:22):
fighting Phil's been to start the National League Championship Series?
They win ten nothing. If there was a mercy rule,
it would have been used. And what can the Diamondbacks
do to at least make this a somewhat competitive series?
It is not that right now. And we'll move away
from the National League Championship Series and talk about the
Dodgers for a second. What message are the Dodgers sending
(00:46):
by keeping Dave Roberts? And in the dugout we'll talk
about all that and more. Right now here, it is
push it, Push it good. Push that button our number one.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Now.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
That is how you beat up a weaker opponent, write
a book and send it to Dave Roberts. Okay, send
that Philadelphia, Send that to Dave Roberts. That's how you
play the Diamondbacks in a postseason game. My god, Well,
come in the beginning of another night of the Ben
(01:22):
Malor Show.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
We are in the air everywhere.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Cheat Kat cheek, as we enjoy the grand theater of

The way tire buying shoot.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Me in ear lead.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
This hour coming from the Delaware Valley was Game two
of the NLCS.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
I had no idea that they would activate the Little.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
League Mercy rule in Game two of the National League Championship.
Says to who we are the Diamondbacks driving their station
wagon right in to the face of the sun at
Citizens Bank Park will play date with the Phillies. They
could have saved everyone some trouble by just going back
to Arizona with their tails between their legs. I didn't
(02:36):
know snakes had tails, But my god, if you saw
the game, you know what I'm talking about. But perhaps
not Kyle Schwarber bang bang pair of home runs, the
rotund leadoff hitter walloping Arizona with a couple of home runs.
Philly hit three home runs and scored a total of
(02:57):
ten runs a playoff game ten to nothing, Game two
of the National League Championship Series. So if you are
keeping score, and I don't know why you would be
doing that, everything's on the internet these days. But Philadelphia
up two to oh heading to the Land of Cacti
and Sunshine for a Thursday afternoon game three and more carnage.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
This time in the Valley of the sun.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
So let us discuss the question, how impressive have the
fighting Phil's been here to start the NLCS. Now, normally
we start with the losing team, but there ain't much
to talk about with that team. They they blow, So
we're gonna start with the team that's good here. How
impressive have the Phillies been here to start the NLCS?
So I've got Midway, Guam and shiny buttons, and we
(03:47):
will tie all of these things together and we will
make oh Mercy nurse because that's where the Diamondbacks were screaming.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Oh Mercy please. All right, So my first thought on
the NLCS.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
This is how you do it poetry in motion, and
I continue to be jealous. Now I've gotten feedback from
Philly fans, like the Fry Daddy, for example, who are
upset with me. They feel like I'm some kind of
jinks here because I have been Benny Bright's side when
talking about the Philadelphia baseball team.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
But that's all I can do. The Phillies much like
the team that I like.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
The Dodgers have a pair of three hundred million dollars batters,
but unlike Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman, the guys in
Philly actually get it done, Bryce Harper and Trey Turner,
And even when they don't get it done, the Phillies
still find ways to win the game. And they live
up to the contract. All right now, I know the
Dodgers don't care, and Mookie Bets is probably bowling right now.
(04:48):
I don't even know what's going on in the baseball playoffs,
and Freddie Freeman's probably out somewhere fishing. But those two
guys the exon Valdis in the Baseball playoffs here against Arizona.
But you see the talent disparity between Philadelphia and Arizona
on a nightly basis and spoiler alert, it was the
same way in the divisional round, but it didn't play
out that way. The Phillies have put a clinic out
(05:11):
on the field, varsity versus junior varsity. It looks like
a family get together at Thanksgiving when you try to
go down to the park, or you said I'm gonna
go down the park and we'll have the the adults
play the kids and the adults in the room.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Would be the fight in Phils here.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Philly has been a team that has played like they
are possessed. Kyle Schwarbers started getting into the act here
in the National League Championship Series, but the fight in
Phils have turned into a classic nineteen eighties arcade game
from Midway called Rampage.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
They are on a rampage here.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
They're destroying and devouring everything in sight. At this point,
it's like the Navy slogan by laying by air by sea.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
There's all kinds of Philly that porn. We call it
going around.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
For example, did you know that Philadelphia has out homered
their opponents by fifteen long balls so far this postseason?
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Does that sound outrageous?
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Does that sound crazy, Well, it is the greatest home
run differential for any team in any eight game span
within a single postseason in history. Of course, they try
to hit home runs every time off. That's kind of
the way they play baseball. How about the Phillies, not
known for having dynamics starting pitching, you wouldn't know it
from the postseason. Philadelphia starters now are six to ohero
(06:36):
this postseason with a sparkling one point five to five ERA,
and the number that is staggering fifty one strikeouts compared
to four walks. Fifty one strikeouts and four walks. And
as a pitching coach told me years ago about professional baseball,
as long as you don't walk batters, the hitter will
(06:59):
get him so out the majority of the time. If
you merely put the ball within the strike zone and
force the hitter to make contact, they will get themselves
out more times than not.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
It won't because of your great pitching, but over the years,
that of course has gone away. You don't challenge certain
hitters and all that.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
But anyway, as a result of all these numbers, this
Philly stat porn. The fighting Phills are seven and one
in the playoffs, and they are knocking on the door
for a return to the Fall Classic and another mashup
with a Texas baseball team. Hopefully this time the Rangers
are not the ass you know, one thousand and two,
(07:37):
one thousand holes there from Houston. So the Phillies have
trailed at the end of only two full innings in
the postseason. That is the fewest of the first eight
games of the postseason of all time. So it just
gets better and better for Philadelphia. Now we pivot. I
think we've covered all the stat porn for the Philly
suffice to say, so we go to the losing locker room,
(07:59):
which is not the better story.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Because there's just it's just morbid. It is just morbid.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
And so let's ask Tory Leavello, that is the manager
of the Arizona baseball team who looked like a genius
when matched up against the Dodgers and now not so much.
Here's Tory Leavello asked about what the heck his team
can do at this point.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
Look, well, we could be playing on the moon. Everybody's
talking about coming into this environment.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
And I don't care.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
Like, we got to play better baseball.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Everybody's got to be better.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
You start with the manager and then trickle all the
way down through the entire entire team. We got we
gotta play diamondback baseball. What we watched out there was
not anything that we have done for a long period
of time.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
So we gotta regroup.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
We got to regroup the trups.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
You gonna find a way to get done.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Yeah, well, I gotta tell you, that kind of looked
like the Diamondbacks. Like what they did against the Dodgers
didn't look like the Arizona Diamondbacks. That's diamond baseball, right,
that's in my life, that's the Arizona Diamondbacks. The way
they played the first two games of the National League
Championship Series was a return to normalcy. So why don't
(09:11):
we answer the question will help out Tory Leavello because
he obviously has no answers. If he's saying, get back
to play diamondback baseball, what can the Diamondbacks do to
at least make this appear like a competitive series?
Speaker 1 (09:24):
So I've got two words, lost baggage.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
If the Phillies, bats and helmets end up in Guam,
they likely will have trouble hitting. The way things are going, though,
they'll go down to like a Big five or something
like that. They'll pick up or a foot locker, they'll
pick up some pickleball paddles, and they'll start hitting home
runs right. Hell, at this point, Tory Levello, the manager,
(09:49):
should contact I don't know if this guy's still around.
I know his show got canceled a couple years ago.
Less Stroud Survivor Man. And because you look at the
Phillies here and they're cooking with gas, right, They've got
the gas going.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
They are just cooking, and the Diamondbacks.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Are rubbing a couple of rocks together, looking for a
spark here far away from civilized baseball. They're hiking out
in the wilderness, out in the woods. Now, the good
news is the Phillies do not have another big name
starter for Game three. The bad news is the guy
they're going to pitch has been wonderful in his two
(10:24):
playoff appearances. Ranger Suarez, left handed pitcher, will be on
the mound there, and he wasn't very good during the
regular season, but he was very impressive against the Atlanta
Braves in the divisional round. And the Rangers are going
with the guy who's got a very hard name to pronounce,
Brandon fat Or Fight fought, fought, not fat. He looks
it looks like fat. It's it's fought PFAA d T boy.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Somewhere in the family tree.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
They probably should have said, maybe we should change that name,
you know, maybe we should have kind of dumb it
down a little bit.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
But Brandon fought. He of an era of close to six.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Of course, he also looked great against the Dodgers, as
everyone did for Arizona. Not exactly Kurt Schilling versus Roy
Holliday in Game three between the Phillies and the Diamondbacks.
All right, last word here if you haven't been paying attention,
there seems to be a common thread. As I get
out some frustration, we're gonna go to Los Angeles, where
(11:19):
they've made it official. The chief nerd Andrew Friedman, has
announced that manager Dave Roberts and the entire coaching staff
will return for the twenty twenty four season. It's not
a surprise, but it is now official. This move coming
(11:39):
days after the lowly Diamondbacks swept the Dodgers in an
embarrassing best of five exit stage. Left from the postseason.
Roberts under contract through twenty twenty five. So what message
are the Dawyers sending by keeping Dave Roberts in. They
(12:00):
all right, so this is easy. They're they're announcing to
the entire world here they're buying advertising that Dave Roberts
is simply pushing shiny buttons. That's all Dave Roberts is doing.
He's pushing shiny buttons, following the three ring binder. And
it's like we have discussed on these airwaves over the
(12:23):
last number of years here that Roberts is merely a
middle manager between the front office, a liaison from the
locker room to the front office. He's an android skipper,
it's Dodger baseball automation. However, he does not write Roberts
or edit the script, and he merely follows the orders
of his higher ups there and so therefore the Dodgers
(12:45):
cannot hold Roberts accountable. It's no different than the Yankees
allowing Aaron Boone to come back. It's the same thing.
The Dodgers and Yankees might as well be one franchise
because they're operating the same exact way.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
You've got a group of super nerds who ultimately make all.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
The big decisions, and the manager is just merely there
to relay the messaging from above and you look at
what's happening.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
We hope there's a great awake. I have a dream.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
My dream is the Fighting Phils play the Texas Rangers
in the World Series. Because Philadelphia, while they do use
some analytics, and so do the Texas Rangers, they are
not completely obsessed with the analytics. Now, I look at
Philly and old school GM Dave don Browski, who all
this guy does is build teams to get to the
World Series. Is he mister analytical? No, no, but clearly
(13:34):
he knows a thing or two about playoff baseball and
what it takes in the postseason, unlike many of these
analytical driven franchises that seem to vanish after winning one
hundred games during the regular season. And you've got Bruce Bochi,
who's not someone that's just following blindly what.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
He's told from higher ups there. And these teams have.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Right now, they've got that mamba mentality. And while the
Atlanta Braves, the Dodgers and others are enjoying a nice
tropical vacation, it is the Ben Malor Show. If you
would like to be part. These speakeasy rules are in effect,
but we'd love to hear from me.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
You can join us.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
The lines are open, and we'd like to alert all
the aphillis down the line that the technical gremlins have
been exterminated by the fine engineering staff here at the
Fox Sports Radio Network iHeartMedia.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
They have destroyed all of the gremlins.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
They will return, but that means the Iowa Minute, the
greatest thirty five minutes in radio. The Iowa Minute will
return later on. That'll be an hour number three.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
We are on exit.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Sounds like they're going to start charging for X soon,
so we'll be off that. We'll let you know where
we go so you can follow us whatever platform is
free that we decide to go to. But for now,
we're on there until they officially start charging. And I
guess some listeners were sending me messag just saying that
they're gonna start charging soon. So I said, okay, thanks
for the heads up, and I'll figure out where we're
(15:06):
gonna go to to interact with you during the show,
the live show, and we'll bring our partey to where
they don't charge for the party. There's no cover fee,
and because if we have to pay, you would have
to pay, we don't want you to pay. We know
you're cheaper than us, so that's the way that goes.
But we are in there for now on X at
(15:27):
Ben Mallor. That is at Ben Mahlor for the time being.
So everything is sunshine, rainbows and lollipops in Philadelphia. But
the Philly fans upset with a celebrity admirer of their team.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
What is that all about. We'll get to it and
we will do it next.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Mallor
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 5 (15:59):
If you listen for five good minutes, you know the
Ben Maler Show is not for the squeamish or the
faint of heart. You're invited to join our secret society online.
You'll get to mingle with other like minded listeners on Facebook.
It's just a few clicks away, just like our page.
Go to Facebook dot com slash Benmahlor Show and now
lie from the tyrac dot com Fox Sports Radio Studios.
(16:21):
It's Ben Malor.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Fir Kat right since ays I am disappointed the gremlins
in the studio were wiped out so quickly, if only
they spread to Eddie's mike and the phone lines, you'd
have the perfect show.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Four hours of uninterrupted matter who would and who could
say no to that? Indeed, I know for a kat
that you have announced on the Internet that you are
a proud native son of Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago, San Francisco
(16:55):
and New York in promoting the TV show, which is.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
No calls and mostly me. Although I forget the guy
I work with on the TV show. He's he's talking
more and more each week. I don't know what that's
that's all about. I don't know his name.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
He used to work at Fox Sports Radio, but well
it doesn't work there anymore. Late Night Drug Tester says
with Dave Roberts coming back the nightmare of a tweet
free Roberto continues, Yeah, now you Roberto will not be
returning to to Twitter.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Well he might never they start charging. He's definitely not.
He's definitely not coming back.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Yaphimi in Chicago says, Hey, Mallard a plus and a
fifteen dollars Pretzel on the mal monologue, make these nerds
that rely on software come manage the team themselves. Robot
Roberts is limited by his programming.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
New Cubs fans that.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Don't know what losing is chased off Joe Madden for
their precious analytics.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Yeah, how's that going in Chicago? Those analytics? That is
that going? Well? No, that's so good.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Okay, yeah, that's fine.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
They renovated Rigby Field. Now it's like Toontown over there
at Wrigley Field.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
They got a charge for everything like Wrigleyville there and
the ballpark and all that. Joe Madden, that's a great example.
Joe Madden, old school guy, got upset, got frustrated. He
was there at the beginning of the analytical revolution in Tampa,
but it never got to the point it's gotten now
and the obsession. And you'd like to think if the
(18:34):
Texas Rangers with an old school manager like Bruce Bochie
win the World Series, or the Phillies win the World
Series with an old school GM and Dave Dombrowski, that
will at the very least open some eyes among the
aristocrat owners that you don't have to hire another Ivy
League nerd that to run your baseball ops.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
You don't have to do it. There is another way.
And it's like that.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
If you remember Moneyball when that started The thing that
made moneyball special was that no one else was doing right.
That was the thing that was the first thing. It
was like that we have a niche. We have found
a niche in the marketplace. No one else is doing it.
And the same thing with analytics. At the beginning, it
was like, well, no one else was doing it, so
we have an edge here. We're analytically based and there
(19:20):
were only a couple teams that were doing it. It
was like a cheat code for the teams in baseball
that didn't spend a lot of money and so they
could level the playing field against the teams that spent
a lot of a lot.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
Of the resources. Okay, fine, but now everyone's doing it, so.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
The advantage is actually to go old school, to go away.
You don't want to go where the mob is. You
want to go away from the mob of humanity because
they're already, they're already. You want to do the other rerection.
This job is not that easy. Supermarket Steve wrights And says,
if they charge for X, you can always do like
(19:56):
Petros and give out your cell phone number so we
can all text you.
Speaker 5 (20:01):
That's a really good idea.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
It's a good idea it's well, Doc, Mike has my
cell phone number if you want, and uh, yeah, yeah, no,
I might, I might go that. Well, I think Petro's
what he does. He has like a burner phone. I
think so I could get like a burner phone. But
then I'd still be paying for that. I'm sure the
company would cover that, right, They've had a lot of
money at this company.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
I'm sure they would take care of that, just expense
that every month.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Now, Matt later is fan Matt needs a safe space
over there because this guy is freaking out. He's really
upset that we're gonna be leaving X soon when they
start charging. He says, they're gonna start charging a dollar
a year. Surely you're not that cheap. Well, don't call
me surely.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
And it's it's like that line from Tom Petty, And
it was really it was about the radio business. But
the same logic applies that all the boys upstairs want
to see is how much you'll pay for what you
used to get for free. And my position on social media,
First of I don't even like social media. I liked
it at first, but then I saw the animals that
(21:05):
are on there, and I realized I don't really need it,
and I pop on there every once in a while,
but it doesn't run my life. For a while there,
it did run my life.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
It did.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
I thought it was phenomenal and it was wonderful and
all that. But over the years I had the age
of reason where I realized that on social media you
are the product, So why would you pay to be
the product? Right, It's like a cattle auction and the
cattle paying to be slaughtered, Like, why would you do that?
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Even if it's a dollar.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
It's the principle of it, especially when there's other social
media platforms that also are warped and have a ridiculous
commentary on there that you can just go to and
then you're still the product, but you're not paying for
the product for a dollar, Yeah, exactly, And for that
(22:01):
one dollar, I will avoid that matrix and I will
go to a different matrix with different algorithms and.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Different hand picked influencers and all that, and I'll be fine.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Everything will be okay, And if you want to join us,
that's great, and if you don't want to join us,
that's fine. But over the years, I've been here a
long time. When I started in sports radio, it was
so long ago. We had these things called fax machines
and people would literally send faxes in to have us
read their commentary on the air.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
And then for a while we had the Fox Text
text line that we had for a number of years.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
And then when Twitter came around about fifteen years ago
or so, we went on Twitter.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
And now it's x and the.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
World's always revolving, and so it's everything's fine.
Speaker 6 (22:52):
Thank God for the Internet.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Not really, not so much, not so much so.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Philadelphia Philly fans are not happy with one of their
I guess.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
He's a celebrity fan. I think he was just hanging
out with his with his brother. But the Philly fans upset,
who are they upset with?
Speaker 2 (23:09):
While they are upset with America's a favorite star tight
end Travis Kelsey and Travis Kelsey enjoying some downtime at
Phillies games with his brother there and well he was drinking.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Bud Light and that upset a number.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Of Philadelphia Philly fans who there are annoyed with that.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
But Kelsey's he's a total whore.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
I mean, I give him credit, he's not even trying
and I'd probably do the same thing. But he's like
mister Pfizer, mister bud Light. You know, he does all
these endorsements like any controversial company.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
He's like, I'm in, man, I'm in, pay me, pay me,
pay me. I'm there. And people were goofing him.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Now the thing that's unfair and I had the I
think it was the fry Daddy and few other people
upset because during the wildcard round and the divisional round,
when teams were celebrating baseball wins, they were pouring bud
Light on top of each other in the locker room.
And it's like, well, that's the sponsor of Major League
(24:14):
Baseball that they provide the alcohol, So that's why they
were That's why they were doing that.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
Anyway, be sure to catch live editions of The Ben
Maller Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Hi, this is Jay Glazer.
Speaker 6 (24:28):
And you may know me for the world of football
or fighting or even shows like HBO's Ballers or you
don't know is for my entire life, I have lived
in something I refer to as the gray depression anxiety.
So now I'm coming out with a new podcast, Unbreakable,
a mental health podcast with Jay Glazer where each week
while we talk about mental health, I hope to describe it,
(24:49):
give it words. Listen to Unbreakable with Jay Glazer on
the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
You get your podcasts.
Speaker 5 (24:58):
Ilklahoma City apparently will be a waving Kevin Porter Jr.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Oh Is that right?
Speaker 5 (25:03):
Yeah? Apparently so so they.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
The woman that he's accused of beating the snot out
of his claiming it wasn't as bad as everyone says
it was. That is she trying to get like what's
the what's the goal there? Is she getting back together
with him? She's trying to get money out of him?
Like did she did they have a talk like, hey,
(25:28):
my career is over. You gotta you gotta do damage control.
I'll pay you some money, like because he's got a
lot of money that was supposed to be coming his way,
which I don't believe is coming his way.
Speaker 5 (25:38):
Well, if you're asking me to guess, because I don't know,
I'm I'm guessing guessing she still wants to have a
relationship with this person. She says that he did not
hit me, never balled up his fists.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
And hit me, hit her head against the wall.
Speaker 5 (25:57):
I says definitely didn't punch me numerous times in the face,
although she did go to the uh the hospital for
some reason, they decided that she needed to go to hospital.
But he did not ball up his fist and hit her.
He just slappings. Okay, I mean maybe he threw her
into a wall.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (26:13):
She didn't ball his fists.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
She might have run into the she ran into his hands.
He might have been standing there and she ran in like.
Speaker 7 (26:20):
Uh, like I've heard animal, I've heard that defense before.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Ben, does that work?
Speaker 5 (26:25):
Did it work for you?
Speaker 3 (26:26):
Sam?
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Didn't?
Speaker 7 (26:27):
I didn't use it. There was a woman in my uh,
a woman in my city when I was growing up
in your city. She she she was accused of manslaughter
for against her husband, and she said that he ran
into the knife that she was holding and she uh,
I think it did help her.
Speaker 5 (26:45):
Wow? What was that? Was that scene in fight club?
Where was it ed Norton like beat himself up in
his boss's office. So, I mean that's possible. I guess right,
he could throw She could have thrown herself into the wall.
What was her name again, Kaiser Gondra.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
There was a years ago there was a grant Gondra
in the n b A.
Speaker 5 (27:11):
Yeah, any relations I don't think.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
So, not all those grandest what's the last name? I
have no idea.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
I'm really I gotta tell you, Eddie. I mean, I
used to be so up on the w n b
A monologues and I just lost my way.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
I don't know what happened.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
I don't remember that I was so I was so
woke for a couple of years, and I just you
never heard of New York's leading scorer Kaiser.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
That's why we have you, Iowa Sam, you are our
w n b A expert.
Speaker 7 (27:41):

Just for when history is made. Maybe I'll leave it
out all right, man, We'll see. Maybe I want to

Taylor Swift the number one I'm a celebrity fan of
the NFL allegedly well that.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
In the Charger Woman at Fake Charger Woman.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
So Taylor Swift has apparently purchased an entire suite at
Arrowhead Stadium for the rest of the twenty twenty three season.
Let me repeat that for those of you in the
back of the room. Taylor Swift will be at every
Chiefs game. She's gonna have her own suite at Era. Now,
(29:28):
I thought she was going back on the road. I
thought that she was just taking a little bit of
a break from her travels around the globe to give
musical salvation.
Speaker 7 (29:38):
Yeah, I thought she was on tour.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
I know, how can you go to every Chiefs game
if you're on tour, if you're in like New Zealand,
how can you go to a Chiefs game?
Speaker 7 (29:46):
Well, tomorrow, I guess it starts on October eighteenth, which
is already today for a lot of people.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Well, yeah, but now this weekend he's got a jet.
Chiefs and Chargers play at Aero. Will she be there
for the week seven matchup charge the Chiefs?
Speaker 1 (30:04):
I don't know. I don't either.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
And then November fifth in London, the Chiefs play the
Dolphins in London.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Will she go to London? She might already be in London,
Who knows.
Speaker 7 (30:15):
Maybe she has a body double.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
That's good. I like that, like it.
Speaker 7 (30:19):
Maybe she has a concord jet. Yeah, those things can
get around.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
He's rich. How much does a sweeter arrowhead stadium cost?
Can't be that much.
Speaker 7 (30:27):
It's like pocket lint for her.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
She puts makeup on. She makes more money than a
sweet cost, what else do we have? Al Michaels said he
did not know how to describe Taylor Swift.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
Come on, Al, it's not that hard. I know you're old.
I'm old.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
I'm getting old too, But come on, batch out by
you and hot rumor from Hollywood Life.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
I don't even know what that is.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
Apparently it's a tabloid and they are reporting that Taylor
Swift and Travis Kelcey may buy a home together in
Greater Kansas City.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
Now, why would why would you do that?
Speaker 2 (31:05):
And if you're Travis Kelcey, listen, she's the one that
wears the pants in the relationship. She's the rich one,
so you're wealthy, but she's rich, so have her buy
the house.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
I don't buy that.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
She's traveling all over the place anyway. She's got a
house in New York, here, there, and everywhere.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
I'll drop my pants right here. Come on, it's ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
And as soon as I get the green light from Coop,
because I did send him, we have an audio clip
that we're going to play. It's all part of my
tush talk. And as soon as I get the green
light on that, we'll play that. But until then let's
go to Poppy. Picking with Poppy in San Diego, as
he will bring the ratings to a screeching halt. Hello Poppy,
no God please no, yeah, hello, I mean picking with
(31:54):
the Chicken.
Speaker 7 (31:54):
We actually got that right one and all here.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Yeah, well, that's the only time we're doing that. I've
been told that you have continued to send out chicken
propaganda on social media. So we are canceling Picking with
the Chicken after one week.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
Yes, we are canceling it. We are.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
I feel bad for Abigail the Chicken, ahead for the chicken.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
But I'm sorry Pipe. Yes, it's over. The bit is over.
Speaker 4 (32:22):
Let me tell you something.
Speaker 7 (32:23):
People want to hear the audio version and the video version.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Listen. You do whatever you want to do, Poppy. You
you are free to do.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
You can do it for the seven people that follow
you there on social media. You can do picking with
the Chicken. But we're canceling the bit. I cannot support.
Abigail the Chicken is very upset with you, and I'm sorry.
All right, You're you're a bird brain.
Speaker 4 (32:47):
You got you gotta get your word, and you know.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
You.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
I was told that it was a one time thing.
You promoted the chicken. We have picking with the chicken.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
But now I'm getting reports from I'm allorable, let's just
talk over each other, stupid all right. I was saying,
is it that hard? I was saying, please, all right, listen,
don't you want to promote the product? I was sam
board off one on one.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
All right. If the host is talking and the caller
is talking, fade down the call.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
It's not that hard, all right, I'll go back to
I'll teach you at radio school.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
Anyway, all right, so here's the deal, Poppy. Uh yeah,
I gave you a shot, and we did it. I
thought the bit went pretty well, but multiple sources have
told me that you've continued to do this on social media,
so it's over. They've sent me links that you've You've
got your own chicken, which is not Abigail the Chicken,
and I support. I stand with Abigail the Chicken. That's
(33:42):
