Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go. Well, come man, it's our number one
of the Ben Maler Show podcast, but you already knew that.
In our lead this hour coming from the American League
Championship Series, as it was game number three the Asstros
and the Rangers. What is your opinion of Rangers starter
(00:22):
Max Schurzer's performance? Spoiler alert, it wasn't good. Also, how
did the assholes get back in the American League Championship Series?
Do you have any advice to Bruce Bochi and Texas
as they are now in a series at two games
to one, still in the lead. We'll talk about all
(00:43):
that and more right now, give it up for our
number one Mad Max full of earwax, at least on
this night. Wel come, in the beginning of another edition
the Benvalor Show. We are in the end.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Everywhere in collaboration as we navigate through a maze of
sports gibberish coast to coast, border to border and beyond.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
On the mast and breathtakingly powerful microphones of fs are

Sam tells me that's a lot. Ti raq dot com
the way tire buying shoebe as we do the day
night doubleheader. Our lead this hour coming from deep in
the Lone Star State, Game three of the Showdown. If
(01:58):
you live in Texas, it's kind of a big deal.
I don't live in Texas, but I'm into it. I'm engaged.
And if you've listened to the show over the years,
you know that I support good versus evil. That my
favorite team is the Los Angeles Dodgers, who break my
heart every year. And the second favorite team is whoever's
playing the a holes, and that would be the Texas
Rangers right now. But a Texas Rangers fan for a
(02:20):
little bit, I am all about Ranger baseball. A apps.
I'm old school. I can go back, Odoby McDowell, Pete O'Brien,
Don Slott, I can go old school, Charlie Hoff, Kenny Rodgers,
you name it. But the Rangers coming into Game three
leading two games to none in the best of seven
(02:40):
ALCS against the cheating as one one thousand and two,
one thousand holes. And I don't know if you watched
or not, maybe not. It was on Fox FS one anyway,
and that noted fraudster, if you missed it, the noted fraudster,
the shyster, the guy that I'm amazed he's still hitting
(03:01):
home runs. Jose Alboovey, Uh yeah, he hit a dinger.
Christian Javier going into the sixth inning as he continues
to pitch lights out baseball for the Houston baseball team,
which really butchered the Texas baseball team eight to five. Now,
(03:22):
the final score was not indictive. I never got the sense,
even though the Rangers gonna inched back a few times,
I never got the sense that this was going to
be their night. So the ALCS is now a two
to one lead for the Good guys. So Good is
still leading Evil in the American League Championship Series, the
Rangers losing for the first time in the postseason. They
had been seven and zero to start and Mac Scherzer,
(03:46):
Oh my aching shoulder, Oh it had had so much.
Max Scherzer, he was gone, gone, gone gone after four innings,
his first outing in more than a month. The excuse
makers working overtime. On the other side, the pitcher that
does not have all the awards. Javier A set a
(04:07):
franchise record there for the defending Cheaters. He went the
postseason Scorelesstreet twenty to thirty innings. He did give up
a run after that, But the better story is in
the losing locker room. The better story in the losing
locker room. So that is where we will go. The
question here, what is your opinion of the Rangers Max
(04:30):
Scherzer's performance. So I've got wings, Italian bistro, and Arctic monkeys,
and we will combine these things together and we are
going to make an ice pack which Max Scherzer should
put on his shoulder and then leave the team to
never pitch again in this postseason for the Rangers. My god,
(04:53):
all right, so we'll mix all this together. Now, Hey,
what do you think my opinion is a Max Schurzon performance.
Guy went out there and got lit off. What do
you want me to do here? Trying to win a game?
And Suresa goes out there and we saw what he did.
Max was not only a pitcher. Max Scherzer was not
only a pitcher. He was terrible okay, And there's no
(05:14):
other way to say. It was an abomination for those
of us that are long standing Texas Ranger fans. He
is the mayor of the Tenderloin district of the Rangers
clubhouse there, and we tried to warn Bruce Bouchie. We
attempted to warn Bruce Boch that Bouchie clearly did not listen.
Bad job by him with modern playoff, Schurzer. Modern playoff
(05:41):
sureser it is not a matter of if things will
go kofloey, It is a matter of when they will
go kofloey.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
And Max Scherzy, Now I'll give him this. I'll be
Benny Bright said on this, Max Scherzer has earned his wings.
Now what do I mean by that?
Speaker 3 (06:01):
All right?
Speaker 1 (06:01):
What do I mean by that? So he is now
a lieutenant colonel on the vomit Comet Mac Schurzer. Welcome
to Suckersville, Man, Mac Schurzer, right there, Fool me once?
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Right?
Speaker 1 (06:14):
What's the only lie foolm He wants shame on you
fool me twice? Shame on me? How about if you
fool me three times? How about shame on both of
us and these Major League Baseball teams. How many more
bad outings the Sures have to have in the playoffs
before you say da da da da Hey good bye?
(06:35):
Right stop, All of the success is in the rear
view mirror. Stop clinging onto it. Just stop enough already
open your eyes. If if don't work, look go to
an eye doctor or hell our guy blind Emmett, the
Seahawks fan, Blind Scott, the blind Malard Militia Army can
(07:01):
see what's going on here. Inca terror, he sees, I'm
not a real terror. Max Schuzer is a terror. So
Max Scherzer I went, I looked it up because I
remember he sucked at the end with the Dodgers. Wasn't
in la very long? Remember the famous outing with the
Metropolitans when he went out there and dropped the deuce
right on the mound there in Queens. And now we've
(07:24):
got this. So Max Schurzer's I did the math so
you would not have to. It's my public service, So
Max Shu's the last three playoff starts Dodgers Mets Rangers.
Dodgers Mets Rangers owing two record era of nine point
six nine, nine point six y nine. For those of
you in the back of the room, thirteen innings pitched,
(07:45):
he's giving up sixteen hits, fourteen earned runs. Sixteen hits
and fourteen earned runs. He's thirty nine years old, and
he is cooked. He is absolutely cooked at the point.
But no, I heard these idiots, these baseball pun is.
No they could bring him back for a game seven?
Speaker 4 (08:07):
Why not?
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Even if you're gonna pitch sures are in game seven,
don't even show up. Don't even show up if you're
gonna put the guy sucks right now, Page two here,
how did the cheating as Astros get back into the
American League Championship Series. Well, the obvious answer is they
took advantage of what we call the Italian beastro. Now
(08:31):
what does that mean?
Speaker 3 (08:32):
All right?
Speaker 1 (08:32):
The Astros in this game, the cheaters were dining al fresco.
They were dining on Max schurz Or. He was serving
up a nice menu of that's a big a meat
ball right down the middle. Mete ball for you, meete
ball for you, meat ball for you. A It's like
a spicy meat ball.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Now.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Of course, here's the other problem with Houston. It's always conceivable.
It's not out of the realm of possibilities. That they
hearned what we call and what they call old reliable.
Now what is old reliable? Glad you asked? Well, old
reliable considering that they're a morally bankrupt franchise, ethically challenged
win in doubt, throw the trash cans out, bang bang,
(09:18):
right bang bang, the big three trash cans, whistles and buzzers. Hey,
I'm pat him down. Check him for the buzzer. It's amazing.
I saw a smark from that little punk Altuve. I
saw a little smark. Can't be a big smirk, but
I saw the look, right, I saw the look. There's
(09:39):
some funny business going on with the little guy Altuve
a little bit right. It's amazing he had a home run.
Considering that Rob Manford banned him for life from professional
baseball for cheating. I can't. How are you able to
home rown? You've been banned for life by Rob Manford,
a real leader of baseball. It just gets more embarrassing.
(10:04):
On the Fox broadcast, they had the stat that the
cheater Altuve is on track to become the all time
postseason home run leader. You're going to have a blatant
cheat as the all time home run leader. That's baseball
right there, that's baseball, men. And the reason you cannot
(10:27):
dismiss the very real possibility that there's a whole bunch
of cheating going on in Houston is not only that
they're morally bankrupt and all that, and not that just
the smirk, but Rob Manford has he is shepherd in
the cheating. He's the great shepherder. Well, come on in, right,
the rancero, Rob Manford, and he's given his blessing to
(10:48):
the cheating. Why he didn't punish anybody, Hey didn't punish anybody.
Not a single a whole player. Not a single a
whole player was suspended, not a single one. Doesn't punish him.
In fact, he ran interference major League Baseball's commissioner. He
ran interference for people that were criticizing the players. I
(11:10):
remember the piece of metal. I haven't forgotten that. Yeah. Also,
random other thought, how useless are the postgame interviews? Are
there any baseball players that aren't morons? They interviewed two
of these cheaters on Houston and they both said, one
game at a time. Okay, thank you, mister dumb dumb,
thank you for that. You meet head idiot? All right, now,
(11:33):
last word here. If you got a problem, you've got
to come up with a solution, all right, So I
would like to address that right now, all right, the
last word here? Any advice? Do you have any advice
to Bruce Bochie's Rangers? Any advice here? Now, you may
or may not know my younger days, I at one
(11:54):
point played pool with Bruce Bochie, So there's a kinship
between me and Boach. Go back with a national sports
girl in Anaheim after an Angel Padre game. Anyway, listen,
here's the advice for the for the Rangers. They have
to go Arctic Monkeys, they have to go Arctic. My
snap out of eight. They gotta snap out of it here,
(12:16):
turn to smelling salts if you have to. That was
a lifeless beginning of that game. Now keep in mind
that Houston is not set up at this particular point
to ambush the Rangers the rest of this year. I'm
already getting some of these cheating fans, the immoral fans
who are sending me messages it's over the Austros. Walk up. Listen,
(12:39):
let me make my elevator pitch here to Bruce Bojie. Right,
and there is no such thing as the m word.
There's no such thing, And this game is my evidence
that there is no such thing as momentum. There is Mo,
(13:00):
but it's Uncle Mo and he lives in Brooklyn. There's
Ozzie Mo, and that's Ozzie momentum, but he lives in Australia.
But actual momentum. If momentum existed, why would the Texas
Rangers have lost the game? They had all the momentum,
they had won both games in Houston. There's no way
they would have lost that game. Why would they give up?
(13:22):
Why would they give back momentum? There'd be no reason
to get back momentum, none at all. But that's echoes
back to something. And I do this this this hokey
TV show on the weekends, Benny Versus the Penny, And
it's one of the things that it's called Gambler's fallacy,
right Gamby, I think a penny out drinking. I don't know.
We might have to delay the taping of Benny Versus
the Penny. I don't know. But here's the thing. The
(13:44):
the erroneous thinking that people have that something is more
or less likely to happen given a previous event. For example,
the idea that Houston won a game they may or
may not have cheated in. I don't know, but they've
cheated pass so and then they're gonna be more likely
to win nothing. That's nonsense, all right. It is the
(14:08):
Ben Malor Show. Speak easy rules do apply. If you

Speaker 5 (16:03):
Id out line from the tyrack dot Com Fox Sports
Radio Studios, It's Ben Maller.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Will you continue on and on and on? Euphemi and
Chicago writes in after a spicy hot baseball theme, Mallard monologue.
To begin the night, he says, hey Mallard, Hey, plus
with text becks fajitas on the Mallard monologue. Our Texas
Rangers also are still firmly holding the Alamo against the cheaters.
(16:28):
Alboove is quirking his bat boach. You should have the
ums check it. Finally, he says rest in peace to
Bert Young aka Poly from the Rocky Movies. I saw
that it was his early eighties passed away, a famous
character of sports movie and Van Unethical Van Rights in
(16:50):
he says, the Astros are living rent free in your head,
so you're admitting Van, the Astros are squatters. Also, not
only they're cheaters, they're squatters. They don't pay their bills.
They don't pay their bills. So not only the Astros
immoral cheaters. But there's nothing worse than you. You rent
a place and you don't pay for it. So I
(17:10):
mean that's even worse, man, I mean, it's it's terrible,
absolutely terrible. The burner account right since says, I can't
help but to smell something fishy, Benjamin when it comes
to the cheating Astros, bag bag f al touve f alve,
(17:30):
I think that drop died with Roberto when Roberto left
the show. But maybe maybe I will say him could
find the fl two of a chance which we have there. Yeah,
DJ says U Mahler can't let the astro stuff go.
What do you want me to let it go? They
murdered baseball. They're murderers. They murdered baseball, and you want
(17:51):
me to let it go, my fat ass, I'm gonna
let it go. I gotta let it get. They murdered
the sport. My man Berno had to leave this show
to become a bus driver to payback tickets that he
bought for the twenty seventeen World Series, which was a fraud.
It was a sham. And you want me to let
(18:12):
that go. There's a lot of immoral people that are
sending me messages here, yeah, Gus writes in though he says,
amazing monologue. Way to set the tone for a a
great show. Yeh, Benito, the cowboy fans is allowing that
bum Martin Muldonado to drive in two runs is unacceptable?
(18:34):
H Yeah, Muldonado is terrible. Muldonado. It's like he goes
up there half the time with a blindfold on and
you got to hit off suresous, hey, Ben, I got
a birthday present for you. Oh is that right? Duvet bub?
(18:57):
And see what I was doing. I was the can doctor.
I was going f altuve and then they were singing
fl two of A after I led them. That's how
that one kind of like we hate Iowa. Remember that
from yesterday? Oh yeah, that was the thirty five minute
Iowa minute, which you actually needed, like thirty seven minutes
in the Iowa minute, right, you needed that.
Speaker 7 (19:18):
I think I haven't gone back in time to it yet,
but I'm sure it was fat and happy like me,
all right.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Matthew Warrior Raider as fan says, there's already a blatant
cheat that's the regular season home run leaders, so it's
on brand to have a blatant cheat be the postseason
home run leader. There you go, hear you? Andy, the
Comic book Guys says cookham Mallord f Thoes strows. There's
(19:50):
a lot of unethical people that are listening to our show,
but it's good to know if you go across the country.
The geo tag truth is that Americans, every day, mom
and pop Americans support the good guys versus the bad guys.
A online gambling website used geotagged data or data depending
(20:12):
on where you grew up, from social media to track
who people are pulling for in the American League Championship Series.
They say, well, who cares if you're not in Texas
because it's all about them. But much like myself, I've
jumped on the back the caboose of the Rangers bandwagon
and people have a rooting interest. So, based on geotag
(20:34):
data from social media, they went state by state, all
fifty states. So our friends in Hawaii, our friends in
Alaska who are listening to us on various radio stations
in those fine states, you were including this, how many
states do you think favored the a Holes and how
(20:56):
many states favored the Rangers. This is based on geotag
social media data. You gotta you gotta guess. Should we
do a round robin here? Anybody to see this? I
don't know, cheating?
Speaker 6 (21:07):
I did not see it?
Speaker 1 (21:07):
All right, Eddie, would you like to we'll go round
robin here? Okay? So this is geo tagged social media
data tracking who people are pulling for in the American
League Championship Series. Based on the fifty states, how many
states are pulling for the ass tros and how many
states are pulling for the Rangers.
Speaker 6 (21:25):
I'm gonna say fifty states are.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Rooting for these. All the states are pulling for the Rangers.
All right. I was saying, would you like in on this,
we'll do around Robin.
Speaker 7 (21:33):
Who uh yeah, considering also that the Rangers just haven't
done much in the last decade or so, I'm gonna
say that the majority favor the Rangers.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Well, I know the majority you're asking for, then a number.
That's the bit. Yeah, that's the bit. I'm gonna say.
Speaker 7 (21:52):
I'm gonna say seventy percent. How many states? Sam, Oh,
we're talking about states here? I'm sorry, how many states
are there? Do you know that there's fifty two?
Speaker 1 (22:02):
That's right, That's right.
Speaker 7 (22:03):
No, I'm gonna say, Okay, we're talking about states here,
Puerto Rico and Guam. I am going to say, I'll
just say forty nine. I'll play a price right here.
All right, Cooperloop, I have to agree with Eddie. You
think all fifty states?
Speaker 6 (22:18):
Yep?
Speaker 1 (22:18):
All right. Reveal answers. Reveal answers we can tell. According
to g o tag data from social media gambling website
tracked It, it is forty eight states to two, forty
eight to two in favor of truth, justice and the
Ranger away.
Speaker 6 (22:35):
I guess. I guess none of us will win because
we all went over.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
I was closer.
Speaker 6 (22:38):
That doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
The only time I was closer. The only two states
that pulled for the cheaters, Texas and Louisiana, for shame.
Speaker 7 (22:48):
Remind me Houston being east more east in the state, closer.
Louisiana is at the people. Yeah, a lot of people,
and they're just back and for more. Houston Astros fans
in the state of Texas, well, they are the winningest
baseball in the state, I guess. But still, oh no,
they've never won a legitimate World Series. I don't know
what you're talking about. If the Rangers win, they'll be
the first team in Texas from last year. No was
(23:10):
al playing. Was Bregmann playing?
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Question? They were yes, Okay, so it doesn't count. It
doesn't count, Iowa, Sam, I'm feeling the wrath right now.
I mean, that's a dumb question. I ask a lot
of dumb questions here. How I get by all the
musical magical melody. We'll get to that. And a expensive problem,
(23:39):
a very expensive problem. We'll get to that as well
as the music for some reason pops up and down.
I don't know that gremlin attacking again. I don't know
what's going on with that anyway. Well, look at you,
caught up on everything going on in the overnight and
a man who's wearing not a pirate hat, not a
king's hat, not a Fresno State hat. The Doyers look
(24:01):
at that. It's an LA hat the way I look
at it, so it just covers all of LA. Yeah,
what's your hat?
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Ben?
Speaker 6 (24:08):
What is that?
Speaker 1 (24:08):
It's a microphone. This is a tribute hat to the
greatest broadcaster of all time, Vince Scully. I see that now. Yeah,

Speaker 1 (26:38):
When I got into the media business in LA, the
stories I heard about Pete Roselle, he had such loose
lips that he he would tell all the writers all
the dirt that was going on at the NFL.
Speaker 6 (26:47):
He interesting.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
He was like an old rams PR guy.
Speaker 6 (26:50):
Yeah, yeah, I didn't work that before.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
He became the commissioner, and he was tight with all
these guys, and he would just spill.

he says, Ben, you should get sponsorship money after all
(27:23):
the farming simulator promotion on yesterday. Damn right, at least
send me some kind of way to play the game
or so. I don't know how much does it cost
farming simulator? How much? Is it one of those things
it's free, but then you have to pay for stuff
in the game. Is it one of those deals? I
really don't know. Are you the farm guy? I was same,
(27:44):
you're my farm guys? I didn't.
Speaker 7 (27:47):
I never did the serious, serious stuff that needed, like
a simulator, like you're about to fly a plane. But
I you know, I've wrote some tractors in my day.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (27:55):
Well, depending on the platform that you buy it on,
it's pretty expensive.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
Really.
Speaker 10 (28:00):
Uh we're talking the latest farming Farming simulator twenty two
is sixty five dollars on that.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
This is like a playstaate Yes, yes, like a flight simulator. No,
there's there's dudes listening to us on that they're playing
the game where the background we're the voice of the farm.
Speaker 10 (28:17):
You know.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
It's like some people like that for some techniques. I
think of a farm. I think of that. But yeah, yeah,
so you came in. We've we've lost everyone who likes
like rap music is rejoins and stuff like that, but
we've gained the farming crowd. That's not true. I play
a mix of stuff now according to my email, you
don't yeh.
Speaker 7 (28:36):
Okay, okay, No, you got your guy uh Manuel and
Guardina getting me a shout out the other day. Yeah,
all right, we got guys around here who know that
I play the I play the music that's important to hear.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
So this is interesting.
Speaker 10 (28:46):
I'm looking at this shop, you know, I was looking
at for farming simulator.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
The cost and it's like Madden. They've got like every
year there's a new one.
Speaker 6 (28:55):
Who's on the cover of this year?
Speaker 1 (28:58):
What are they? What do they update each year global
warming coop.
Speaker 6 (29:01):
They get it.
Speaker 10 (29:02):
You know what.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
The pigs get bigger one year, they get smaller than
the X right.
Speaker 10 (29:08):
The crop and it looks to it looks to be
a different tractor on the front cover every year.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
Quarterback, it's great. Now, Is that like the Madden game
where you're your tractors on the cover. That's like that's
a big thing, right, that's like a fro To jinx.
That tractor breaks down on the side of the road.
Fer Cat says, Ben, never let it go. If you
ever forgive al Bouve and Bregman, I'll listen to ambient
farm animal noises at night instead of your show. I
(29:37):
thought Justin and Cincinnati had a great line about who's
pulling for the Astros but trying to stay away from
the political realm.
Speaker 5 (29:44):
But he posted a video of I think it was
a Packers running back was playing the farming simulator on Twitch.
Oh yeah, and he's just sitting there like this combine
just going over the wheat.
Speaker 7 (29:56):
Aj Dillon, Yeah, I think you can be ba out
of your gourd and just sit there and just enjoy
that game.
Speaker 6 (30:05):
Love that game.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Then look at all the corn going.
Speaker 5 (30:07):
Into the un is.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
Like a j people were People are paying right on Twitch.
They're paying to watch, isn't that? Yeah, that's sadly our society.
Now that's wild to me. Can I get in on that?
I'll play video games. I'll be terrible at it. But
if you're gonna pay me, if you're entertaining, you can
make a living.
Speaker 5 (30:25):
I don't think they're watching because he's good at it,
I mean, be wrong about that. I think they're just
watching because they're who he is. I would think, yeah, yeah, yeah,
that that too, So you're good, You're.
Speaker 6 (30:35):
Fine, get in on that.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
Okay, all right, well let's get to this here. This
is very important. So I have I have stood on
the right side of history. I stand with Abigail the
Chicken against Poppy and the big controversy on the show
this week, Poppy who I gave him a platform, he
took advantage of it. He stabbed me in the heart,
and he really not only me, he cut the head
off Abigail of the Chicken. So I stand with Abagail
(30:57):
the Chicken. Freud Freudian Grip is the the keeper of
Abigail the Chicken. Hello Freudian Grip, Hey, big Ben, how
are you. Well, I'm trying to recover him. This is
a blow to those of us that stay with the
chicken and it's not right.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
Hey, it's a blow to me too, man. I put
a lot of effort into this, and you know Poppy
is a coward.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
Yeah, well he's gutless Poppy. It might as well run
for commissioner of Major League Baseball, Poppy. He should. I
mean think you could have literally fallen down and broken
your hip and been in the hospital when you had
to bend over Freudian grip to make sure that the
bit work because you had to put the bowls of food,
the logos next to the bowls of food, and who knows,
maybe you slip, You might have been pecked to death
(31:42):
by the chicken. Who knows.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
You should have seen me trying to catch the chicken.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Yeah, you ever try to catch a chicken?
Speaker 3 (31:51):
I was.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
Sam told me he has played with the chicken quite often,
so I don't know what that means.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
Yeah, Poppy said that his kind of chicken was organic.
He couldn't even say what his chicken was.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
All right, Listen, I like the bit. I mean, we
can save the bit. Maybe we can get blind guy
versus chicken. We could do something along those lines. Uh, well,
we'll think about it. But I like the bit. So
make sure Abigail the chicken is well fed. Okay, make
sure the chicken is well fed.
Speaker 3 (32:22):
Hey, I just want to say I don't want to
forever have my names synonymous with Poppy the Loser?
Speaker 1 (32:27):
Right, yeah, I know I know. Where are you at?
By the way, Freudian grip where's your format?
Speaker 3 (32:32):
I'm in the north woods of northern Michigan.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
Beautiful all you know? My I have a cousin that
lives at the what's that Traverse city near that area?
Speaker 3 (32:42):
Oh, I'm on the opposite side of the state, over
by Alpina.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
Okay, northern Michigan not the up.
Speaker 3 (32:48):
Right, No, No, I'm not a loser, all.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
Right, Freudian Gribb. Well keep listening. We might we might
need Abigail the Chicken to help us some more. You
never or no?
Speaker 3 (33:01):
Can I just throw a challenge out there?
Speaker 1 (33:03):
Sure?
Speaker 3 (33:05):
Can I challenge Poppy to Mallard's Mountain of money?
Speaker 1 (33:11):
Yeah? How about how about this? Why don't we do
mallars amount of money and then if you win, we
never have to deal with Poppy doing the Chicken again.
If Poppy wins, we'll bring back We'll bring back Abaga.
But you can't throw the game. Those are some high
stage but you can't throw the game.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
Freud, here's my bet. If I beat Poppy at Mallard's
Mountain of Money, Poppy can never call the show again
if I. If I lose, you.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
Want okay, let's think about that. I'm up against the clock.
But all right, thank you, all right, Freud and Grip
there from Upper Michigan there and checking in all it
is the bend. Mallache will debate that in our head
what we want to do with that, and we'll press
on time Now for the who am I? Game? I
have literally been a one man wrecking crew, accounting for
(34:00):
fifty nine percent of my team's defensive pressures this season,
easily the highest rate in the NFL so far. Heading
into Week seven again, I have literally been a one
man wrecking crew accounting for fifty nine percent of my
team's defensive pressures this season. That is easily the highest
rate in the NFL. Who Am I? The answer? We'll

Speaker 1 (38:29):
I'm the only guy that picked a player I'm guaranteed
to win.
Here we go. Well, come man, it's our number one
of the Ben Maler Show podcast, but you already knew that.
In our lead this hour coming from the American League
Championship Series, as it was game number three the Asstros
and the Rangers. What is your opinion of Rangers starter
(00:22):
Max Schurzer's performance? Spoiler alert, it wasn't good. Also, how
did the assholes get back in the American League Championship Series?
Do you have any advice to Bruce Bochi and Texas
as they are now in a series at two games
to one, still in the lead. We'll talk about all
(00:43):
that and more right now, give it up for our
number one Mad Max full of earwax, at least on
this night. Wel come, in the beginning of another edition
the Benvalor Show. We are in the end.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Everywhere in collaboration as we navigate through a maze of
sports gibberish coast to coast, border to border and beyond.
Speaker 1 (01:15):

Sam tells me that's a lot. Ti raq dot com
the way tire buying shoebe as we do the day
night doubleheader. Our lead this hour coming from deep in
the Lone Star State, Game three of the Showdown. If
(01:58):
you live in Texas, it's kind of a big deal.
I don't live in Texas, but I'm into it. I'm engaged.
And if you've listened to the show over the years,
you know that I support good versus evil. That my
favorite team is the Los Angeles Dodgers, who break my
heart every year. And the second favorite team is whoever's
playing the a holes, and that would be the Texas
Rangers right now. But a Texas Rangers fan for a
(02:20):
little bit, I am all about Ranger baseball. A apps.
I'm old school. I can go back, Odoby McDowell, Pete O'Brien,
Don Slott, I can go old school, Charlie Hoff, Kenny Rodgers,
you name it. But the Rangers coming into Game three
leading two games to none in the best of seven
(02:40):
ALCS against the cheating as one one thousand and two,
one thousand holes. And I don't know if you watched
or not, maybe not. It was on Fox FS one anyway,
and that noted fraudster, if you missed it, the noted fraudster,
the shyster, the guy that I'm amazed he's still hitting
(03:01):
home runs. Jose Alboovey, Uh yeah, he hit a dinger.
Christian Javier going into the sixth inning as he continues
to pitch lights out baseball for the Houston baseball team,
which really butchered the Texas baseball team eight to five. Now,
(03:22):
the final score was not indictive. I never got the sense,
even though the Rangers gonna inched back a few times,
I never got the sense that this was going to
be their night. So the ALCS is now a two
to one lead for the Good guys. So Good is
still leading Evil in the American League Championship Series, the
Rangers losing for the first time in the postseason. They
had been seven and zero to start and Mac Scherzer,
(03:46):
Oh my aching shoulder, Oh it had had so much.
Max Scherzer, he was gone, gone, gone gone after four innings,
his first outing in more than a month. The excuse
makers working overtime. On the other side, the pitcher that
does not have all the awards. Javier A set a
(04:07):
franchise record there for the defending Cheaters. He went the
postseason Scorelesstreet twenty to thirty innings. He did give up
a run after that, But the better story is in
the losing locker room. The better story in the losing
locker room. So that is where we will go. The
question here, what is your opinion of the Rangers Max
(04:30):
Scherzer's performance. So I've got wings, Italian bistro, and Arctic monkeys,
and we will combine these things together and we are
going to make an ice pack which Max Scherzer should
put on his shoulder and then leave the team to
never pitch again in this postseason for the Rangers. My god,
(04:53):
all right, so we'll mix all this together. Now, Hey,
what do you think my opinion is a Max Schurzon performance.
Guy went out there and got lit off. What do
you want me to do here? Trying to win a game?
And Suresa goes out there and we saw what he did.
Max was not only a pitcher. Max Scherzer was not
only a pitcher. He was terrible okay, And there's no
(05:14):
other way to say. It was an abomination for those
of us that are long standing Texas Ranger fans. He
is the mayor of the Tenderloin district of the Rangers
clubhouse there, and we tried to warn Bruce Bouchie. We
attempted to warn Bruce Boch that Bouchie clearly did not listen.
Bad job by him with modern playoff, Schurzer. Modern playoff
(05:41):
sureser it is not a matter of if things will
go kofloey, It is a matter of when they will
go kofloey.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
And Max Scherzy, Now I'll give him this. I'll be
Benny Bright said on this, Max Scherzer has earned his wings.
Now what do I mean by that?
Speaker 3 (06:01):
All right?
Speaker 1 (06:01):
What do I mean by that? So he is now
a lieutenant colonel on the vomit Comet Mac Schurzer. Welcome
to Suckersville, Man, Mac Schurzer, right there, Fool me once?
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Right?
Speaker 1 (06:14):
What's the only lie foolm He wants shame on you
fool me twice? Shame on me? How about if you
fool me three times? How about shame on both of
us and these Major League Baseball teams. How many more
bad outings the Sures have to have in the playoffs
before you say da da da da Hey good bye?
(06:35):
Right stop, All of the success is in the rear
view mirror. Stop clinging onto it. Just stop enough already
open your eyes. If if don't work, look go to
an eye doctor or hell our guy blind Emmett, the
Seahawks fan, Blind Scott, the blind Malard Militia Army can
(07:01):
see what's going on here. Inca terror, he sees, I'm
not a real terror. Max Schuzer is a terror. So
Max Scherzer I went, I looked it up because I
remember he sucked at the end with the Dodgers. Wasn't
in la very long? Remember the famous outing with the
Metropolitans when he went out there and dropped the deuce
right on the mound there in Queens. And now we've
(07:24):
got this. So Max Schurzer's I did the math so
you would not have to. It's my public service, So
Max Shu's the last three playoff starts Dodgers Mets Rangers.
Dodgers Mets Rangers owing two record era of nine point
six nine, nine point six y nine. For those of
you in the back of the room, thirteen innings pitched,
(07:45):
he's giving up sixteen hits, fourteen earned runs. Sixteen hits
and fourteen earned runs. He's thirty nine years old, and
he is cooked. He is absolutely cooked at the point.
But no, I heard these idiots, these baseball pun is.
No they could bring him back for a game seven?
Speaker 4 (08:07):
Why not?
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Even if you're gonna pitch sures are in game seven,
don't even show up. Don't even show up if you're
gonna put the guy sucks right now, Page two here,
how did the cheating as Astros get back into the
American League Championship Series. Well, the obvious answer is they
took advantage of what we call the Italian beastro. Now
(08:31):
what does that mean?
Speaker 3 (08:32):
All right?
Speaker 1 (08:32):
The Astros in this game, the cheaters were dining al fresco.
They were dining on Max schurz Or. He was serving
up a nice menu of that's a big a meat
ball right down the middle. Mete ball for you, meete
ball for you, meat ball for you. A It's like
a spicy meat ball.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Now.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Of course, here's the other problem with Houston. It's always conceivable.
It's not out of the realm of possibilities. That they
hearned what we call and what they call old reliable.
Now what is old reliable? Glad you asked? Well, old
reliable considering that they're a morally bankrupt franchise, ethically challenged
win in doubt, throw the trash cans out, bang bang,
(09:18):
right bang bang, the big three trash cans, whistles and buzzers. Hey,
I'm pat him down. Check him for the buzzer. It's amazing.
I saw a smark from that little punk Altuve. I
saw a little smark. Can't be a big smirk, but
I saw the look, right, I saw the look. There's
(09:39):
some funny business going on with the little guy Altuve
a little bit right. It's amazing he had a home run.
Considering that Rob Manford banned him for life from professional
baseball for cheating. I can't. How are you able to
home rown? You've been banned for life by Rob Manford,
a real leader of baseball. It just gets more embarrassing.
(10:04):
On the Fox broadcast, they had the stat that the
cheater Altuve is on track to become the all time
postseason home run leader. You're going to have a blatant
cheat as the all time home run leader. That's baseball
right there, that's baseball, men. And the reason you cannot
(10:27):
dismiss the very real possibility that there's a whole bunch
of cheating going on in Houston is not only that
they're morally bankrupt and all that, and not that just
the smirk, but Rob Manford has he is shepherd in
the cheating. He's the great shepherder. Well, come on in, right,
the rancero, Rob Manford, and he's given his blessing to
(10:48):
the cheating. Why he didn't punish anybody, Hey didn't punish anybody.
Not a single a whole player. Not a single a
whole player was suspended, not a single one. Doesn't punish him.
In fact, he ran interference major League Baseball's commissioner. He
ran interference for people that were criticizing the players. I
(11:10):
remember the piece of metal. I haven't forgotten that. Yeah. Also,
random other thought, how useless are the postgame interviews? Are
there any baseball players that aren't morons? They interviewed two
of these cheaters on Houston and they both said, one
game at a time. Okay, thank you, mister dumb dumb,
thank you for that. You meet head idiot? All right, now,
(11:33):
last word here. If you got a problem, you've got
to come up with a solution, all right, So I
would like to address that right now, all right, the
last word here? Any advice? Do you have any advice
to Bruce Bochie's Rangers? Any advice here? Now, you may
or may not know my younger days, I at one
(11:54):
point played pool with Bruce Bochie, So there's a kinship
between me and Boach. Go back with a national sports
girl in Anaheim after an Angel Padre game. Anyway, listen,
here's the advice for the for the Rangers. They have
to go Arctic Monkeys, they have to go Arctic. My
snap out of eight. They gotta snap out of it here,
(12:16):
turn to smelling salts if you have to. That was
a lifeless beginning of that game. Now keep in mind
that Houston is not set up at this particular point
to ambush the Rangers the rest of this year. I'm
already getting some of these cheating fans, the immoral fans
who are sending me messages it's over the Austros. Walk up. Listen,
(12:39):
let me make my elevator pitch here to Bruce Bojie. Right,
and there is no such thing as the m word.
There's no such thing, And this game is my evidence
that there is no such thing as momentum. There is Mo,
(13:00):
but it's Uncle Mo and he lives in Brooklyn. There's
Ozzie Mo, and that's Ozzie momentum, but he lives in Australia.
But actual momentum. If momentum existed, why would the Texas
Rangers have lost the game? They had all the momentum,
they had won both games in Houston. There's no way
they would have lost that game. Why would they give up?
(13:22):
Why would they give back momentum? There'd be no reason
to get back momentum, none at all. But that's echoes
back to something. And I do this this this hokey
TV show on the weekends, Benny Versus the Penny, And
it's one of the things that it's called Gambler's fallacy,
right Gamby, I think a penny out drinking. I don't know.
We might have to delay the taping of Benny Versus
the Penny. I don't know. But here's the thing. The
(13:44):
the erroneous thinking that people have that something is more
or less likely to happen given a previous event. For example,
the idea that Houston won a game they may or
may not have cheated in. I don't know, but they've
cheated pass so and then they're gonna be more likely
to win nothing. That's nonsense, all right. It is the
(14:08):

in your mouth right If you don't call it Twitter,
it's not X.
Speaker 6 (15:35):
I don't like X. And if you wait and.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
You'll join you don't like it, then that's fine.
Speaker 6 (15:40):
Hold on a second. I'm sorry. I'm just saying something important.
Speaker 5 (15:43):
If you join us and stay with us for the
entire four hours of the show.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
You'll get a headache, maybe.
Speaker 6 (15:51):
The final hour, the very last hour.
Speaker 5 (15:54):
You will be rewarded with Puck the World, my weekly
NHL report.
Speaker 6 (16:01):
So you got that going for us?
Speaker 5 (16:03):
Id out line from the tyrack dot Com Fox Sports
Radio Studios, It's Ben Maller.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Will you continue on and on and on? Euphemi and
Chicago writes in after a spicy hot baseball theme, Mallard monologue.
To begin the night, he says, hey Mallard, Hey, plus
with text becks fajitas on the Mallard monologue. Our Texas
Rangers also are still firmly holding the Alamo against the cheaters.
(16:28):
Alboove is quirking his bat boach. You should have the
ums check it. Finally, he says rest in peace to
Bert Young aka Poly from the Rocky Movies. I saw
that it was his early eighties passed away, a famous
character of sports movie and Van Unethical Van Rights in
(16:50):
he says, the Astros are living rent free in your head,
so you're admitting Van, the Astros are squatters. Also, not
only they're cheaters, they're squatters. They don't pay their bills.
They don't pay their bills. So not only the Astros
immoral cheaters. But there's nothing worse than you. You rent
a place and you don't pay for it. So I
(17:10):
mean that's even worse, man, I mean, it's it's terrible,
absolutely terrible. The burner account right since says, I can't
help but to smell something fishy, Benjamin when it comes
to the cheating Astros, bag bag f al touve f alve,
(17:30):
I think that drop died with Roberto when Roberto left
the show. But maybe maybe I will say him could
find the fl two of a chance which we have there. Yeah,
DJ says U Mahler can't let the astro stuff go.
What do you want me to let it go? They
murdered baseball. They're murderers. They murdered baseball, and you want
(17:51):
me to let it go, my fat ass, I'm gonna
let it go. I gotta let it get. They murdered
the sport. My man Berno had to leave this show
to become a bus driver to payback tickets that he
bought for the twenty seventeen World Series, which was a fraud.
It was a sham. And you want me to let
(18:12):
that go. There's a lot of immoral people that are
sending me messages here, yeah, Gus writes in though he says,
amazing monologue. Way to set the tone for a a
great show. Yeh, Benito, the cowboy fans is allowing that
bum Martin Muldonado to drive in two runs is unacceptable?
(18:34):
H Yeah, Muldonado is terrible. Muldonado. It's like he goes
up there half the time with a blindfold on and
you got to hit off suresous, hey, Ben, I got
a birthday present for you. Oh is that right? Duvet bub?
(18:57):
And see what I was doing. I was the can doctor.
I was going f altuve and then they were singing
fl two of A after I led them. That's how
that one kind of like we hate Iowa. Remember that
from yesterday? Oh yeah, that was the thirty five minute
Iowa minute, which you actually needed, like thirty seven minutes
in the Iowa minute, right, you needed that.
Speaker 7 (19:18):
I think I haven't gone back in time to it yet,
but I'm sure it was fat and happy like me,
all right.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Matthew Warrior Raider as fan says, there's already a blatant
cheat that's the regular season home run leaders, so it's
on brand to have a blatant cheat be the postseason
home run leader. There you go, hear you? Andy, the
Comic book Guys says cookham Mallord f Thoes strows. There's
(19:50):
a lot of unethical people that are listening to our show,
but it's good to know if you go across the country.
The geo tag truth is that Americans, every day, mom
and pop Americans support the good guys versus the bad guys.
A online gambling website used geotagged data or data depending
(20:12):
on where you grew up, from social media to track
who people are pulling for in the American League Championship Series.
They say, well, who cares if you're not in Texas
because it's all about them. But much like myself, I've
jumped on the back the caboose of the Rangers bandwagon
and people have a rooting interest. So, based on geotag
(20:34):
data from social media, they went state by state, all
fifty states. So our friends in Hawaii, our friends in
Alaska who are listening to us on various radio stations
in those fine states, you were including this, how many
states do you think favored the a Holes and how
(20:56):
many states favored the Rangers. This is based on geotag
social media data. You gotta you gotta guess. Should we
do a round robin here? Anybody to see this? I
don't know, cheating?
Speaker 6 (21:07):
I did not see it?
Speaker 1 (21:07):
All right, Eddie, would you like to we'll go round
robin here? Okay? So this is geo tagged social media
data tracking who people are pulling for in the American
League Championship Series. Based on the fifty states, how many
states are pulling for the ass tros and how many
states are pulling for the Rangers.
Speaker 6 (21:25):
I'm gonna say fifty states are.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Rooting for these. All the states are pulling for the Rangers.
All right. I was saying, would you like in on this,
we'll do around Robin.
Speaker 7 (21:33):
Who uh yeah, considering also that the Rangers just haven't
done much in the last decade or so, I'm gonna
say that the majority favor the Rangers.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Well, I know the majority you're asking for, then a number.
That's the bit. Yeah, that's the bit. I'm gonna say.
Speaker 7 (21:52):
I'm gonna say seventy percent. How many states? Sam, Oh,
we're talking about states here? I'm sorry, how many states
are there? Do you know that there's fifty two?
Speaker 1 (22:02):
That's right, That's right.
Speaker 7 (22:03):
No, I'm gonna say, Okay, we're talking about states here,
Puerto Rico and Guam. I am going to say, I'll
just say forty nine. I'll play a price right here.
All right, Cooperloop, I have to agree with Eddie. You
think all fifty states?
Speaker 6 (22:18):
Yep?
Speaker 1 (22:18):
All right. Reveal answers. Reveal answers we can tell. According
to g o tag data from social media gambling website
tracked It, it is forty eight states to two, forty
eight to two in favor of truth, justice and the
Ranger away.
Speaker 6 (22:35):
I guess. I guess none of us will win because
we all went over.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
I was closer.
Speaker 6 (22:38):
That doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
The only time I was closer. The only two states
that pulled for the cheaters, Texas and Louisiana, for shame.
Speaker 7 (22:48):
Remind me Houston being east more east in the state, closer.
Louisiana is at the people. Yeah, a lot of people,
and they're just back and for more. Houston Astros fans
in the state of Texas, well, they are the winningest
baseball in the state, I guess. But still, oh no,
they've never won a legitimate World Series. I don't know
what you're talking about. If the Rangers win, they'll be
the first team in Texas from last year. No was
(23:10):
al playing. Was Bregmann playing?
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Question? They were yes, Okay, so it doesn't count. It
doesn't count, Iowa, Sam, I'm feeling the wrath right now.
I mean, that's a dumb question. I ask a lot
of dumb questions here. How I get by all the
musical magical melody. We'll get to that. And a expensive problem,
(23:39):
a very expensive problem. We'll get to that as well
as the music for some reason pops up and down.
I don't know that gremlin attacking again. I don't know
what's going on with that anyway. Well, look at you,
caught up on everything going on in the overnight and
a man who's wearing not a pirate hat, not a
king's hat, not a Fresno State hat. The Doyers look
(24:01):
at that. It's an LA hat the way I look
at it, so it just covers all of LA. Yeah,
what's your hat?
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Ben?
Speaker 6 (24:08):
What is that?
Speaker 1 (24:08):
It's a microphone. This is a tribute hat to the
greatest broadcaster of all time, Vince Scully. I see that now. Yeah,
his name very nice man.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (24:16):

tenured Pete Roselle. Roselle was there a long time. Bert
Bell was thirteen years This is stimulating talk radio, this
education Pete. Pete Roselle was twenty nine years.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
Now.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
When I got into the media business in LA, the
stories I heard about Pete Roselle, he had such loose
lips that he he would tell all the writers all
the dirt that was going on at the NFL.
Speaker 6 (26:47):
He interesting.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
He was like an old rams PR guy.
Speaker 6 (26:50):
Yeah, yeah, I didn't work that before.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
He became the commissioner, and he was tight with all
these guys, and he would just spill.
Speaker 5 (26:56):
Like the old footage of him presiding over the NFL
dress smoking a cigarette.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
Yeah, well, it's like one of the great photos though,
was which is it the Chiefs quarterback n Dawson smoking
the in the locker room there? Yea yeah, halftime, Yeah,
just going for a smoke's having a good old time?
Are you done? All right? It is the Ben Malor Show.
As we continue on through the overnight, Devin writes in
he says, Ben, you should get sponsorship money after all
(27:23):
the farming simulator promotion on yesterday. Damn right, at least
send me some kind of way to play the game
or so. I don't know how much does it cost
farming simulator? How much? Is it one of those things
it's free, but then you have to pay for stuff
in the game. Is it one of those deals? I
really don't know. Are you the farm guy? I was same,
(27:44):
you're my farm guys? I didn't.
Speaker 7 (27:47):
I never did the serious, serious stuff that needed, like
a simulator, like you're about to fly a plane. But
I you know, I've wrote some tractors in my day.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (27:55):
Well, depending on the platform that you buy it on,
it's pretty expensive.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
Really.
Speaker 10 (28:00):
Uh we're talking the latest farming Farming simulator twenty two
is sixty five dollars on that.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
This is like a playstaate Yes, yes, like a flight simulator. No,
there's there's dudes listening to us on that they're playing
the game where the background we're the voice of the farm.
Speaker 10 (28:17):
You know.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
It's like some people like that for some techniques. I
think of a farm. I think of that. But yeah, yeah,
so you came in. We've we've lost everyone who likes
like rap music is rejoins and stuff like that, but
we've gained the farming crowd. That's not true. I play
a mix of stuff now according to my email, you
don't yeh.
Speaker 7 (28:36):
Okay, okay, No, you got your guy uh Manuel and
Guardina getting me a shout out the other day. Yeah,
all right, we got guys around here who know that
I play the I play the music that's important to hear.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
So this is interesting.
Speaker 10 (28:46):
I'm looking at this shop, you know, I was looking
at for farming simulator.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
The cost and it's like Madden. They've got like every
year there's a new one.
Speaker 6 (28:55):
Who's on the cover of this year?
Speaker 1 (28:58):
What are they? What do they update each year global
warming coop.
Speaker 6 (29:01):
They get it.
Speaker 10 (29:02):
You know what.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
The pigs get bigger one year, they get smaller than
the X right.
Speaker 10 (29:08):
The crop and it looks to it looks to be
a different tractor on the front cover every year.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
Quarterback, it's great. Now, Is that like the Madden game
where you're your tractors on the cover. That's like that's
a big thing, right, that's like a fro To jinx.
That tractor breaks down on the side of the road.
Fer Cat says, Ben, never let it go. If you
ever forgive al Bouve and Bregman, I'll listen to ambient
farm animal noises at night instead of your show. I
(29:37):
thought Justin and Cincinnati had a great line about who's
pulling for the Astros but trying to stay away from
the political realm.
Speaker 5 (29:44):
But he posted a video of I think it was
a Packers running back was playing the farming simulator on Twitch.
Oh yeah, and he's just sitting there like this combine
just going over the wheat.
Speaker 7 (29:56):
Aj Dillon, Yeah, I think you can be ba out
of your gourd and just sit there and just enjoy
that game.
Speaker 6 (30:05):
Love that game.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Then look at all the corn going.
Speaker 5 (30:07):
Into the un is.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
Like a j people were People are paying right on Twitch.
They're paying to watch, isn't that? Yeah, that's sadly our society.
Now that's wild to me. Can I get in on that?
I'll play video games. I'll be terrible at it. But
if you're gonna pay me, if you're entertaining, you can
make a living.
Speaker 5 (30:25):
I don't think they're watching because he's good at it,
I mean, be wrong about that. I think they're just
watching because they're who he is. I would think, yeah, yeah, yeah,
that that too, So you're good, You're.
Speaker 6 (30:35):
Fine, get in on that.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
Okay, all right, well let's get to this here. This
is very important. So I have I have stood on
the right side of history. I stand with Abigail the
Chicken against Poppy and the big controversy on the show
this week, Poppy who I gave him a platform, he
took advantage of it. He stabbed me in the heart,
and he really not only me, he cut the head
off Abigail of the Chicken. So I stand with Abagail
(30:57):
the Chicken. Freud Freudian Grip is the the keeper of
Abigail the Chicken. Hello Freudian Grip, Hey, big Ben, how
are you. Well, I'm trying to recover him. This is
a blow to those of us that stay with the
chicken and it's not right.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
Hey, it's a blow to me too, man. I put
a lot of effort into this, and you know Poppy
is a coward.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
Yeah, well he's gutless Poppy. It might as well run
for commissioner of Major League Baseball, Poppy. He should. I
mean think you could have literally fallen down and broken
your hip and been in the hospital when you had
to bend over Freudian grip to make sure that the
bit work because you had to put the bowls of food,
the logos next to the bowls of food, and who knows,
maybe you slip, You might have been pecked to death
(31:42):
by the chicken. Who knows.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
You should have seen me trying to catch the chicken.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Yeah, you ever try to catch a chicken?
Speaker 3 (31:51):
I was.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
Sam told me he has played with the chicken quite often,
so I don't know what that means.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
Yeah, Poppy said that his kind of chicken was organic.
He couldn't even say what his chicken was.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
All right, Listen, I like the bit. I mean, we
can save the bit. Maybe we can get blind guy
versus chicken. We could do something along those lines. Uh, well,
we'll think about it. But I like the bit. So
make sure Abigail the chicken is well fed. Okay, make
sure the chicken is well fed.
Speaker 3 (32:22):
Hey, I just want to say I don't want to
forever have my names synonymous with Poppy the Loser?
Speaker 1 (32:27):
Right, yeah, I know I know. Where are you at?
By the way, Freudian grip where's your format?
Speaker 3 (32:32):
I'm in the north woods of northern Michigan.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
Beautiful all you know? My I have a cousin that
lives at the what's that Traverse city near that area?
Speaker 3 (32:42):
Oh, I'm on the opposite side of the state, over
by Alpina.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
Okay, northern Michigan not the up.
Speaker 3 (32:48):
Right, No, No, I'm not a loser, all.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
Right, Freudian Gribb. Well keep listening. We might we might
need Abigail the Chicken to help us some more. You
never or no?
Speaker 3 (33:01):
Can I just throw a challenge out there?
Speaker 1 (33:03):
Sure?
Speaker 3 (33:05):
Can I challenge Poppy to Mallard's Mountain of money?
Speaker 1 (33:11):
Yeah? How about how about this? Why don't we do
mallars amount of money and then if you win, we
never have to deal with Poppy doing the Chicken again.
If Poppy wins, we'll bring back We'll bring back Abaga.
But you can't throw the game. Those are some high
stage but you can't throw the game.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
Freud, here's my bet. If I beat Poppy at Mallard's
Mountain of Money, Poppy can never call the show again
if I. If I lose, you.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
Want okay, let's think about that. I'm up against the clock.
But all right, thank you, all right, Freud and Grip
there from Upper Michigan there and checking in all it
is the bend. Mallache will debate that in our head
what we want to do with that, and we'll press
on time Now for the who am I? Game? I
have literally been a one man wrecking crew, accounting for
(34:00):
fifty nine percent of my team's defensive pressures this season,
easily the highest rate in the NFL so far. Heading

I started this podcast 5 years ago to invite you into conversations and workshops that are designed to help make you happier, healthier and more healed. I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
