Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our number three Rocket and rolling. Hey,
we're doing daytime. That podcast is daytime record the podcast overnight,
but we do it so you have fresh audio when
the sun is shining. And here in our number three
talking bass ball. Can I have a Schlitt? Can I
(00:22):
have a Schlitt? That's the name of the new Padres
manager of the Padres fans, should they be excited that
Mike Schlitt is taking over as the manager of the
San Diego baseball team? Is sho hey o'tani the Lionel
Messi of Major League Baseball? And what is your position
(00:43):
on in basketball limiting Lebron James usage being critical crucial
for the Lakers. It's a highly debated point in basketball circles.
We'll talk about that and more. It's all come your
way right now here. It is our number three. It
is not a friarfire, it is a friar higher. Well come.
(01:07):
In the beginning of another hour of the Ben Malors Show,
we are.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
In the air everywhere in combination as we provide a
harvest of the heart coast to coast, border, the border
and beyond.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
On the vast and unrealistically powerful microphones of fsr mmnating
live from the track the warning track of sports Chat.
As we are broadcasting live from the Tirak dot Com
studios Tyraq dot com. We'll help you I get there
and unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free road hazard protection
(01:49):
and over ten thousand recommended in Starllars Mason, the millennials
impressed by that tire rack dot com the way tirebind
show me our lead hour, the rare and appropriate baseball model.
And now I'm looking forward to the Hot Stove League.
The Hot Stove League really gets joned up after Thanksgiving.
(02:10):
The period of time between Thanksgiving and mid mid December
is when most of the heavy lifting usually happens in baseball.
So we've got some good transactions if you're a fan
of the transaction that's gonna be coming up here. The
Winter meetings will be taking place, and you really only
have about two weeks to get all your moves in
because everyone goes on vacation at the end of the
year for Christmas and New Year's and honok and all
(02:32):
that stuff. So but our lead this hour coming from
San Diego. That is where the Pod squad are making moves.
They're making moves now if you didn't see this, maybe
not the pod race. The San Diego baseball team philled
a void in the dugout. Normally that would not rise
to the top of the malt monologue status. But I
(02:53):
think this is an interesting story because this guy had
a good record in his previous gig and now he
heads to Southern California to fill the void in the dugout.
Mike Schlitt is his name, and baseball is his game.
He's the next manager of the San Diego baseball team.
Holy Dick Williams batman. So Schlitt agrees to a two
(03:16):
year contract the team and asked then he was in
Saint Louis for several years. The Cardinals made the playoffs
three consecutive years with this cat as their manager, and
he was the manager of the Year, which looks good
collecting dust on a shelf in a case. But he
won that in twenty nineteen. Was still that go now
schlit replaces Bob Melvin, Bye bye Bobby, as he took off,
(03:43):
departed from San Diego and he could not handle working
for the Potters anymore. Two years as the skipper, he
took the same position with the San Francisco baseball team.
And to tell you how toxic the relationship was between
Bob Melboyn and the Padre front office. They let Bob
(04:03):
Melvin go to the Giants, a divisional opponent, and did
not even get a draft pick or like a bucket
of baseball's in return.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
They just let him leave.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
They couldn't even get pine tar for Bob Melbourne. Theydn't
even want pine tar. They said, just get him out
of here, all right. So let us discuss the question
should Podres fan not fans? Should Podreys fan be excited
about Mike Schlitt taking over his manager? So I've got
(04:34):
three ring binder, Austin powers, and kryptonite, and we will
combine all of these things together and we are going
to make the fish taco. Now, I don't like the
fish taco. I like tacos, but I don't like fish.
And I'm happy to say I worked in San Diego.
I love San Diego. I've gone there a bunch over
the years since I stopped working there, never had a
(04:56):
fish taco. Don't like the fish. That's the deal, all right.
So anyway, first of all, the answer to the question
should Padre fan be excited about Mike Schlitt taking over
as the manager. The answer is N plus zero equals no.
The answer is no. In my lifetime, in my lifetime
doing this and just being a fan, I can count
(05:19):
the number of times a coach is hired in baseball
where you're like, oh, man, I got a warm Tingley feeling.
I got a warm Tingley feeling about that hires that's exciting.
This is not one of them. Now, I have nothing
against Mike Schlitt. He's not on the list though it's
my big board. He's not on my big board. We
have nothing against him. He treated the Saint Louis uniform
(05:42):
like an Iron Man suit. He did. He treated the
Cardinals all that Cardinal Way bull crap and all. He
bought into all that like it had magical powers. He
worshiped the Cardinal Way, and they still tossed him into
a bonfire. That's the Cardinals right there. He was like,
he reminded me of like the Sore when the sort
of managed the Dodgers. He's talking about Dodger blow and
(06:02):
all that stuff. Well, this guy Schlitt was doing the
same thing with the Cardinals and they still got rimed.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
And he one.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Now the reason this is an odd fit. It is
a square peg into a round hole. Here's why we
just mentioned earlier here Bob Melvin was run out. Bob
Melvin was run out of San Diego. He got new
a disagreement with the front office, the GM there with
the Podres and the team the owners dying at the time,
the guy's dying, and they picked the GM. They let
(06:29):
Melvin leave. He took off. And the other issue here
is the disagreement was supposedly based on analytics that Bob
Melvin was not gung ho with all the nerds that
worked for the Podreys. There was some disagreement about that.
So we fast forward now ahead in our story, dude
timing reasons and schlitt the guy that's the new guy
(06:51):
in San Diego. He was dumped in Missouri for the
same thing that Bob Melvin was done for. The disagreements,
the differences between philosophy, and so that is why the
Cardinals got rid of this guy. It's PC jargon to
not follow. He didn't want to follow the analytics verbatim,
(07:15):
and so they said it was a toxic work environment.
That was one of the quotes that was going around
A couple of years ago when this guy got let go.
But essentially, it's keep your mouth shut and take the
three ring binder and treat it like the Holy Bible
and whatever's in the three ring binder. You just do it.
You just blindly do it, and you don't even think
(07:36):
about it. And we'll see if this guy can do that.
Mike Schlady's got a second chance here, and he's essentially
a middle manager. The Potrey job is not a good job.
The reason it's not a good job the person that
was willing to spend anything to win is not with
us anymore. He's moved on to the big playing field
(07:57):
in the sky, unfortunately behind the pearly gates, and so
he's now playing with the Angels. And the Podres they
don't have they don't have the kind of they're not
gonna have the kind of pay roll. Everyone in baseball
I've talked to that. When I have text people about
what the Podgers are gonna do, they all say downsized.
They're gonna downsize. They're they're not gonna bring back Blakes now,
they're gonna trade a couple of big name players on
the team. Because the TV deal fell apart and the
(08:19):
owners and not with them anymore. The families owning the team,
so they got to hold onto that money and they've
got to make a big profit every year.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
Now.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Secondly, speaking of the hostile thing, I was gonna talk
about this in a previous episode of the show, but
I was hostilely attacked by gremlins, so I did not
get this. I did, so I wanted to mention the show.
Hey Otani story. There was a report a couple of
days ago that claimed that O'tani is the Lionel Messi
(08:46):
of baseball. He's Baseball's Leo o Messi, and the story
claimed that Otani's gonna have that kind of impact. If
you haven't followed Food the Ball, you might remember the story.
Even if you don't, don't follow because it was a
big sort where the Miami soccer team, the inner Miami
soccer team, just a bad team, terrible team and all
that worst attendance in the MLS, we are told, and
(09:09):
they signed this washed up soccer player named Messi, and
every hack celebrity in Miami was out there wanting to
watch these games and pay big money, and all that
became the hottest ticket in town. When Messi was there,
so is shohey O, Tony free Age the Lionel Messi
(09:30):
of Major League Baseball. And I'm actually going to shake
my head no on this. It's a different situation. And
I would say that that is greatly exaggerated. Now I
would compare Otani to the iconic movie character Austin Powers,
International Man of Mystery. But the mystery has already been solved.
(09:50):
We've seen him play for a number of years in
the big leagues. He's been a very good player. He's
won an MVP Award a couple of times. So good
for him. And despite all that, I know, the baseball
scrib all those hardcore baseball writers, they got knee pads
out for Otani when he comes to town. They love him.
They came massage him the whole thing, the manny and
the petty. He does not have these Bengali effect Like
(10:12):
the ratings don't spike up when Otani's on the television.
They don't spike up. We have the data, or the
data didn't happen in Anaheim is going to happen if
he's wearing a Cub's uniform. Now, he's a great player.
You'd want to have him on your team. The Dodgers
are trying to get him. They're the favorite. Be nice,
that's fine, whatever, he's a good player, but it's not
like he's going to spark people to show up. Wouldn't
(10:35):
otherwise show up. That's just not based in reality. That's
not how baseball operates. And Otani the Angels attendance, they
were okay as a road draw, but it's not like
they led baseball and road attendants or home attendance in
Anaheim when Otani was playing there. Now, the one thing
Otani will dominate in terms of revenue, which is more
(10:58):
important than the wow factor. It's all about the revenue.
And I remember going to Angel games last couple of
years and it was like you were transported to some
town in Japan with the advertising right at every sports
drink company or you name it, any kind of Japanese
(11:18):
food coming. They all got sponsorships at Otani's games, and
more people watching Japan than there are in America for Otani,
which is great. I mean, you want to sell crap
in Japan, It's wonderful. Now, final thought, we shift away
from baseball, we go to pro bouncy ball, and there's
there's a story that came to my attention, the Lakers
(11:38):
are remember the story they were planning on limiting Lebron James,
limiting Lebron James to around twenty eight or thirty minutes
a night this season. There's a big story like the
second day of the NBA season, So how's that working out? Well,
don't ask Lebron heading into the game. That was a
route or root against the Utah Jazz. So we didn't
(12:00):
that many minutes in the game Tuesday night, but prior
to that, Lebron had topped thirty two minutes in ten
of his thirteen outings for the team that's not won
a legitimate championship or any kind of championship since Kobe
Bryant back in the day. So the question is what
is your position on the over the top basketball reporting
(12:22):
that the NBA media hyperventilating that the Lakers cannot overextend
King James. That is the reporting. So my position on
that is unlimiting Lebron James usage being crucial. I say
it is light to the men. Bran, That's what I say.
Lebron James, this is gonna blow your mind. He is
(12:44):
going to wear down whether you play him fifteen minutes
a game or forty minutes a game, he's going to
wear down. You can put him in a display case
and put a light on him, he's still going to
wear down. Okay, his kryptonite, His kryptonite is the aging process.
Now Lebron's been able to play much better than just
about everyone else. Another piece of kryptonite here is the
(13:06):
human mind when it comes to this, and it blows
me away that people are still doing this michigas with
if you play X number of minutes, sure it'll be
fresher for the playoffs. And are we supposed to believe
just riddle me this, batman. Are we supposed to believe
that if Lebron James plays thirty minutes or less, that
he'll be healthy for the postseason. But if he plays
(13:27):
thirty two minutes a game, so two extra minutes a game,
that he's not gonna be fresh as a daisy, and
then the wheels are going to fall off? Are we
supposed to believe that really two extra minutes a game.
It's the same nonsense we get in baseball where if
you throw one hundred pitches, you're okay, but one hundred
and five pitches you're really risking it one hundred and ten.
(13:50):
There should be a war tribunal. It's this blind spot
that people have. It's like walking on hot coals. It's like, oh,
every plays a too minutes a game. I would if
I ran that team, and thank god I don't, I
would play him as much as I have to. And
he's gonna wear down anyway. He's gonna be broken down
by the time the playoffs come around. And the funny
(14:12):
thing about this, the NBA announced, because the TV ratings
were going down, that load management doesn't work. Remember that
story that came out a few months ago. The NBA
announced just before the start of the regular season, it
doesn't work. And the determined follow the science. You people
love the science. Follow the science. Doesn't show that resting,
sending guys out, correlates, correlate, big word correlates to lack
(14:37):
of injuries and fatigue or anything like that. It is
the Ben Mathers Show. If you'd like to be parting,
to join us here the lines. Our open speakeasy rules
are in effect. If you were listing previous hours, you
heard one of the great just debacles we've ever had
on the show, a new low for Eddie Garcia and
Justin Cooper that they went to a deep fake to
(14:59):
try to make me look bad and it didn't work.
The Fortunately, the tremendous hearing of the average listener, they
know the truth and they could tell there's a couple
of differences there and they could absolutely tell what the
reality of that was. Time now for the Mallor Riddle
of the day. And here is the mallor riddle of
(15:21):
the day, and we go to football. Dolphins wide receiver
Tyreek Hill, in some audio that is bouncing around here,
says when officials asked him not to make any gestures
after scoring in a recent Dolphin game, he said, I'm blank.
He said, I'm blank, is what he said. That is
the Mallor Riddle of the day. Answer the riddling, You'll
(15:43):
be the smartest person in the room. We'll get to
that and we will do it next.

he said, I'm blank now. David the fried Daddy in
(18:15):
Pennsylvania says The answer is I am him, is what
he said. Let's see, does anyone else know the answer?
We go to the Mallard Militia of the Great Unwashed.
Yaphimi says the answer to the Mala riddle, he said
the audio was fabricated, is what he said. Well, that's
Eddie's domain. Scottie in Rhode Island, scott and Rhode Island
(18:35):
says he said, I'm gonna get naked and do the
helicopter all right. Ferk Dog says, I'm tired of Eddie
Carrisa Thompson Garcia making things up. That's right. I'm surprised
my attorney is not called in here, ferg Dog. He
must be busy on some other cases. Who else do
we have? The Mexican John Dutton says the Malar riddle answers,
(18:56):
I'm stoned, I'm stone clam said the answers, I'm flipping
everybody off next time I score. Benito, the Cowboys fan
says Tyreek Hill said, I'm high. The sawman in the
Great State of Mississippi said that. Ta Cheetah said, hear me, roar,
hear me, roar you. Fudgie in Boston says, I'm a moron.
(19:21):
I am a moron, A double ow Mexican in San
Diego says, I am really white. Well, that's a great
line from a classic movie which could not be made
in today's times. Who else do we have? Freddy says
the riddle is deep fake? Ben Maller, Yeah, Eddie Garcia going,
that's a new low in the history of radio. Joe
(19:41):
and Okinawa says, I am the claw. I am the claw.
Kathy in Madison, Wisconsin says the answer to the rally
riddle of today is I am the Lizard King. The
Lizard King, alf the alien Opiner says he said he's
a fan of cooper als. That is the answer.
Speaker 5 (20:00):
There.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Oh yeah, the Hurricanes A're gonna bring back the Hartford
Whalers jerseys. That's exciting.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
There you go. Jerseys are great. The pants are awful.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
I don't I don't like the whole. It's like like
the Titans, the Tennessee Titans were in the Houston Oilers things. Yes, count,
It's like I don't like courtesy. Flusher said, I am
a poopy head? Is the answer? All right? Eddie? Do
you have an answer? Is he mallor riddle of the day?
And here it is again the malar riddle of the
day Tyreek Hill. In a recent game, officials asked him
(20:31):
to not make any gestures after scoring. He said, I
am blank.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
Said, I am not Ben mallor I pay off my bets.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Eddie? You again, do we have to go through this again?
Speaker 5 (20:44):
You want to?
Speaker 1 (20:45):
You want to waste more time. I mean, you're on
the wrong side here, Eddie. You were caught. You thought
you could get away with it, and we called you
on your bull crap. That's the way anyway. The answer
to the malar riddle of to day Tyreek Hill, when
officials asked him not to make any hand gestures after scoring,
said I am spreading world peace. He said, I am
spreading world peace, in reference to the peace signal that
(21:07):
he gives out after scoring. Let's go to the phones.
We'll say hello to Andrea. She's hanging out in Berkeley.
She's got all the star charts out, and she also
knows when she hears a deep fake.
Speaker 7 (21:18):
Hello Andrea, Hello Ben, how are you?
Speaker 1 (21:21):
If I was any better, I would not work with
unscrupulous characters like Eddie Garcia.
Speaker 7 (21:25):
Yeah. Kind of intense tonight.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
I understand. I don't get it. I don't know why
Eddie would do this. I thought we were friends.
Speaker 7 (21:32):
Yeah, well, doing the best we can with what we.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Got, so I understand. I mean sometimes you think you
know people and then they go and do deep fakes.
Speaker 7 (21:40):
You know, Well, it takes a village. So I guess
we got to make allowances and take the high road.
So that's it.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Like a low road, you go near the water on
the low the low road you go near the water.
There the high road you have altitude.
Speaker 7 (21:55):
And I don't know, that's funny. I mean, Aaron Rodgers,
you know this is quite interesting. Then we've been saying
this all along. He's sagittarius. I wrote the article I
just sought for the Athletic in August.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
That's right, I remember that. Well you are the as
was it? Brochi calls you the astrology lady.
Speaker 7 (22:16):
Yes, yeah, he affectionately named me the astrology lady because
I do astrology for him and I wrote his astrology
profile for the Padres magazine many moons ago, and I
seem at the winter meetings and he wouldn't remember my name,
but he'd be like, oh, hello, the astrology lady. And
he was very kind hearted, and yeah, he was obviously
(22:38):
with the padres, with the Giants, some changes there. But
Aaron Rodgers, I was saying, I wrote the article in
August of this year, and I was talking about Aaron
Rodgers having that jupit of transit in Taurus. It did
you well, and that gives him increased energy leadership in
December January. Now, as you know, he wants to come
(23:02):
back around his birthday. And what's interesting, Robert sala I
looked at their compatibility. Ben, He's January thirty first, nineteen
seventy nine. He's an Aquarius, and he's kind of nonconformist
in his own way, and he says things like, well,
I won't get in the way of Aaron Rodgers. You know,
the doctors will have the final word. But if he
wants to come back, he wants to come back, so
(23:24):
he kind of, you know, backs off and gives them space.
Aquariums are kind of innovative and bohemian and unorthodox in
their own way. And Aaron Rodgers that you put a
transit is definitely making him feel, you know, really expansive
and abundant. And remember Mercury's retrograde. Ben, I want to
tell remind you I learned that.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Actually, when the gremlins attacked, I learned that.
Speaker 7 (23:47):
Yeah, I no, thank goodness, you're okay.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
I survived. I was. I was actually bitten by a
couple of gremlins, but I still survived.
Speaker 7 (23:53):
We were putting out good energy for it.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Well, thank you, I appreciate it. I'd like to thank
the highway patrol for not giving me a speeding ticket,
So thank you for that.
Speaker 7 (24:00):
Yeah, no, that was intense. So mercury retrograde, Ben, It's
actually December thirteenth till January.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
All right, So I think I got a preview of
it though this week.
Speaker 7 (24:10):
Well, I was going to say we're in a shadow period.
Remember I call it retro shade, Like before it retrogrades,
it starts getting funky a couple of weeks before.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
That's kind of like when Eddie wats in. There's a
funky smell when it gets.
Speaker 7 (24:22):
But you know, Aaron Rodgers, as we know, is into astrology.
December second, nineteen eighty three, Chico, California, two fifty pm.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Yeah, he played in Little League Chico's Bellbonds. He played
for that lily. Yeah, oh sure and sweet.
Speaker 7 (24:36):
So basically I think he's also trying to avoid mercury, retrograde,
bend and come back before because retrograde, remember, can delay,
but not deny. The mantra delay not denial. So there's
a lot of things that play there. At least, you know,
most of all is that sagittarian kind of fire. And
let's get this.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Yeah, there's a lot of spinning plates. There's a lot
of splitting plates. Well, we'll leave it on that. But Andrea,
thank you, and you are on X. People can say
hello to you, virgo in service. You want to say
hi to the astrology lady right there? All right, thank you?
All right, bye bye, there she goes Andrew. She's got
the bubble bath going right there. Yeah, that's right. So
I knew that. I know we're like best friends, me
(25:17):
and you. I know everything about it. All right, hold,
thank you all hang up? Going all right now, it
is the Ben Mahlor Show. We'll push back too much
around enough. We have some more developments on this great
Eddie Garcia scandal. I will have my first character witness
that we will have on uh, not that I need one.
The case has already been adjudicated and win for me.
(25:37):
But right now, let's get you caught up on everything
going on in the overnight and a man who dabbles
in deep fakes Eddie Garcia.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
If you missed it hour two, bottom of the hour, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
I'll go back. I want you to go back and
listen to it on podcast. I want that's embarrassing. It's
all your evidence of Eddie using a deep fake is
what this course of course, it doesn't sound anything like me.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
It sounds exactly like you.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Begin nothing like me at all, Eddie, much more masculine voice.
Speaker 5 (26:08):
You don't be sure to catch live editions of The
Ben Meller Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
Let's see a note here.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
I wonder if you as a musical note.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
No, okay, It is a note from the NBA before
launching an unorthodox lawsuit against the Toronto Raptors that includes
allegations questioning the objectivity of NBA commission Adam Silver. New
York Knicks owner James Dolan resigned his position on the
NBA's Board of Governors.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
What what is the Yeah, this is the Toronto Raptors
hired a guy from the Knicks analytical department and the
Knicks James Dolan so Parado, a guy that has face
recognition cameras at Madison Square Garden is so paranoid that
he's convinced that the proprietary blend of analytical data that
(26:57):
the Knicks have was stolen by the Toronto Raptors. And
so he's filed the lawsuit because of course, you want
to have all the teams to steal from, you want
to steal from the Knickerbockers.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
They've been so good over the years. That's a fair point.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
And yeah, so Dolan's so paranoid you file lawsuit. And
this is taboo, Eddie, because normally in the cartel of
basketball or any of these sports, it's decided among the leagues.
You don't actually file a lawsuit. But he filed a
lawsuit for like ten million dollars against the Toronto basketball team. Interesting,
so that's what that is all about. And you know,
(27:28):
now Dolan owns that that spear in Vegas. Does that
mean when you go to that spear that you get Yeah, yeah,
that's a Dolan he owns it. So when you go
there to like take I might be banned. I've said
so many mean things about Dolan on the radio. I
won't be allowed in.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
He does like to do that from what I understand.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Yeah, so anyway, it is the Bean Mahlor Show. As
we press on, I would call my first character witness
now and a man with Eddie. It's my time. Okay,
you'll have your time. You already had your time. You embarrasses.
I don't need any more time. The proof is there now.
When you think of morals, you think of scruples. This
(28:06):
is a person that is at the very top of
the mountain. Okay, this is the last bastion of purity
in the world, and he has some information about what
exactly went on in the previous hour. I call on
the honorable Jed who fled, Hello, Jed.
Speaker 8 (28:26):
Timing is everything in life at this very moment, I
have just a few moments your you know, double X,
I don't know you and Eddie had the gun back,
not I consperience. You're fierce now a tential headway, at
least in my world. Her mom was terrified whenever she
picked up the phone. It is the exact voice of her.
Dollar said, Mom, they've got me, blah blah blah. Who
(28:47):
cares what the kid was saying? It was fake, but
the kid even had these these certain nuances laugh and
all that and the deep fake simulating kidnappers kid nappers
pooled the mom but she she's like, whoa you know
who cays about the story? Did these take having Eddies
cheating edge line? I don't want into you in jesticekeeper's education.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Uh No, so you think this is all Eddie here?
You believe Eddie is the one that's responsible. He's the
He's the one that pulled the trigger on this, not
Cooper loop now Uh again Uh for those who didn't understand,
you did talk slower this time, jed. So that's that's
got a good job by you, like that you actually
sent me a link here about what probably I think
(29:26):
this is probably what Eddie used here, the deep fake
voice technology that you you you good job by you,
good journalism, good reporting by you. And what should Eddie's
punishment be here?
Speaker 8 (29:37):
Are you stupid is to is to gum it as?
Are you high as to jj fled That's what I'm thinking.
I know that part time it should be to have
to refer to he's set the way the real f
s U Floria State University exactly or something like that.
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
Oh man, I thought you'd come up with something better
than that.
Speaker 8 (29:55):
You know, I thought he's okay, how about hosting a
show with Ben now at four hours a night?
Speaker 3 (30:00):
That's cruel? Are usual?
Speaker 8 (30:02):
Yeah, I'm just sinking about that. But I'm just listening,
all right, phone the guy that answers the phone. I
know you've got a pretty mouth voice. When I hear
and that guy is hold on, hey go, he didn't
even he I mean this, joy, I don't care.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Let's go to Tammy and Montana. Hello, Tammy, here's my
character witness.
Speaker 4 (30:22):
Yes, exactly. Well, then two things. I just thought that
your voice sounded like that chick voice you had when
you first started out radio. It was kind of high
pitched and stuff, so I'm pretty sure it was you.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
No, Tammy, listen, you're very tired. You're working eighty hours
a day. There's only twenty four hours in a day,
working way too many hours. So clearly you're you're a
little hazy. Right now, We love you, Tammy. You're you're
the queen of the show, a very important member the
Malad militia. You've done more goodwill than anyone. But on
this one, you're wrong, Tammy. Unfortunately, on this one you're wrong.
Speaker 4 (30:56):
Well, I think I'm right, but I do have a
punishment for for anyone that may have wronged you in
the past. And could you please please do the nickname.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Oh well, you know what now that you bring that up, Timmy, that's.
Speaker 7 (31:10):
Your character witness.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
That's your character. I don't think you are No, No,
that's your character witness cards. And you know what, You're right, Timmy,
I I I have let my nickname run down. Of
course you had to lie, you had to lie earlier
and do a deep fake. Come on, anyway, here we go.
I am known.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
There you go me.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
You know what, I'm not gonna do it. Take that
back to him, take that back. I'll do the run.
Now take it back.
Speaker 3 (31:34):
Don't blackmailer they.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
Get back, Timmy, Come on, no, I can't. I can't
do the run. I was gonna do the run. I
can't do it now. Yeah, hang up with you. Let's go.
Jed who fled callback he's using a golden ticket? Hello, Jed,
who fless is ridiculous. He just he's got all the ticket.
You gotta call the Yes, Jed, you're back on the air.
You're ball guarding the show. Please.
Speaker 8 (31:57):
Ed is the best looking smart man who never cheats
in his life, and I'm glad he hadn't. We'll receive
him when he's dead.
Speaker 7 (32:03):
I hope that.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
Oh that was a fake. That's a fake jet who fled.
This isn't the real jet who fled. That's indeed fig
Now the original one was the real deal. This is
a fake jet who flagged. That's a fake. Let's go
to Slock. Let's go to Slug in Vegas, my other
another character, witness my friend slug in Vegas. Hello Sluck,
Hey buddy.
Speaker 7 (32:19):
Hello, how are you doing tonight?
Speaker 3 (32:21):
No, it's not him.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
He didn't say, hey, money, buddy, there is right there,
there's your guy. I'm trying to be serious.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
Right, Well, that's good because it's a serious show.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
It's very important.
Speaker 4 (32:32):
It's very serious, and I'm not you know, I'm not
one to lie.
Speaker 8 (32:35):
But Eddie, we had a bet back in.
Speaker 6 (32:37):
The day so we can have a better year.
Speaker 8 (32:40):
Roethlisberger Car they both blew.
Speaker 5 (32:43):
Excuse me, they both blow now, But at the time
Roethlisberger really blew.
Speaker 8 (32:48):
And Car came in third place. I think it was MVP.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
This year, we had.
Speaker 8 (32:53):
A state dinner bet on it. You denied me, said
it never happened. It thought.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
Oh my god, Eddie, Eddie Garcia, put your head down
in shame. Garcia. You deprived Slug in Vegas of a
delicious sneak dinner with a potato on the side. That's
a bad job by you, Eddie.
Speaker 3 (33:10):
Doesn't he work at a restaurant.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
Doesn't matter, Eddie, he wanted he wanted you to pay.
So that that shows you a pattern of immoral behavior,
does it not, Slug?
Speaker 5 (33:21):
It does?
Speaker 8 (33:23):
That's the truth.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
The truth, it's not. It is not easy for you,
Slug to make this phone call. Is that correct, Slug,
It's not. It's painful. So you're saying there's a there's
a track record of poor behavior by Eddie Garcia.
Speaker 3 (33:39):
Unfortunately these are the people.
Speaker 8 (33:43):
It's true tape, It's on tape somewhere out there.
Speaker 9 (33:47):
But that, But that does not change the question at hand,
the question.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
There's no question.
Speaker 9 (33:53):
That does not change the fact that Ben agreed to
a bet where the over under was six wins for
the Colorado Buffalo's and they did not make it.
Speaker 8 (34:03):
Oh, I don't know about any of that.
Speaker 3 (34:08):
Shining in on.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
The current events. It's amazing Coop has not found the
audio of Eddie admitting that I won the bet and
he was gonna get me the sandwich, although that did happen.
Let's go to blind Emmett, the Seahawks fan. Hello blind Emmett.
Speaker 10 (34:21):
Hello big man. So you sat on my put a
tweet out or an accent that you ever call it.
That there's a bigger chance for me to get my
eye fight back than you taking the lost and yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
All right, how many? How many let me test your eyesight?
Speaker 5 (34:34):
Right?
Speaker 1 (34:34):
How many fingers am I holding up one hand, one hand?
How many fingers one hand?
Speaker 8 (34:41):
Zero?
Speaker 1 (34:42):
That's right, zero, you're correct.
Speaker 3 (34:43):
Zero?
Speaker 1 (34:44):
The number zero, the number zero, that's a lie. And
I was giving the peace sign. I was giving the
peace sign, the mark. Yeah, I would never lie to
a blind man.
Speaker 3 (34:53):
Just did.
Speaker 10 (34:55):
How many was it, Eddie?
Speaker 1 (34:57):
It was zero. I held the fist up, which I
think is a sign of something I think, but I
don't know there. I don't think I should hold that up.
I take that back, Yes, what.
Speaker 10 (35:11):
So you know you guys were talking about you know,
the Andy Furman mail stuff in the you know, as
Eddy as a big pile that you know he's waiting

Speaker 3 (36:26):
We've endored too many of these.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
Is it too much or not enough?
Speaker 5 (36:30):
Enough?
Speaker 2 (36:30):
Already?
Speaker 5 (36:31):
All right?
Speaker 1 (36:31):
Right to the game where you say hello to Ben? Hello, Ben, welcome?
You ready to go? And you're in Maine?
Speaker 8 (36:36):
Yes, ready to go?
Speaker 1 (36:38):
All right? Too much? Not enough? All the answers are
either too much or not enough? And way we go.
There were ten you get three right to win the game.
There were ten receivers with over one hundred receiving yards
in week eleven. Is that too much or not enough?
Speaker 8 (36:54):
Too much?
Speaker 1 (36:56):
Is he right? That is correct? You are right there,
you go, all right? Dot too much? There were seven,
including Odell Beckham Junior, with his first one hundred yard
game since way back in twenty nineteen. Question number two
for Ben. It's Ben and Ben on the radio. The
Philadelphia Eagles are now nine and one for the fifth
time in franchise history. Is that too much or not
(37:19):
enough for the Birds?
Speaker 8 (37:21):
Too much?
Speaker 1 (37:23):
Just too much? No, that is wrong. That is wrong.
It's a seventh time the Eagles have been nine to one.
They've reached the NFL Championship or Super Bowl each of
the previous six. We'll see if that continues. Your one
and one Ben. Question number three for Ben and Maye Miles.
Garrett just became the fourth player in NFL history to
have six consecutive seasons of double digit sacks? Is that
(37:46):
too much or not enough?
Speaker 8 (37:51):
Not enough?
Speaker 1 (37:52):
The man says, not enough. Sack rule has been around
since nineteen eighty two. That is correct, got that right?
So your second right answer is to the seventh player
to do it, joining the Minister of fence, Reggie White,
John Randall, Bruce Smith, Lawrence Taylor, Jared Allen, and DeMarcus
Where a question for you get this right, you win
the game. Ben. Just like that, here we go. Garrett
Cole just became the eighth pitcher in Yankees history to
(38:13):
win the Cy Young Award. Is that too much or
not enough? For the Brox Bombers? He says not enough?
Is he right? No believe it? Or not too much?
Yankees have offense not pitching six the Yankee pitcher to
win the award and we move on. Roger Clemens is
the last one to do it. Final question comes down
to this, Ben Blake Snell, bro I'm risking my life.
(38:35):
Just became the third Lefty to win the cy Young
in both leagues. Is that too much or not enough
for the win? He says, not you finally that you
were sure you want to do that? Yeah, ah, you lose.
You're a loser. You didn't win. No, you got it wrong.
Too much, is the answer. He and Randy Johnson are
(38:56):
the only Lefties to win the Sighing Awards. So unfortunately, Ben,
I tried to help you out. I've noticed people don't
listen to my advice anymore lately. It's odd, but you
do get a lifetime supply of nothing. So happy holidays, Ben,
you get nothing from the Ben Maler Show. Congratulations, very
happy holiday.
Hello and welcome. It's our number three Rocket and rolling. Hey,
we're doing daytime. That podcast is daytime record the podcast overnight,
but we do it so you have fresh audio when
the sun is shining. And here in our number three
talking bass ball. Can I have a Schlitt? Can I
(00:22):
have a Schlitt? That's the name of the new Padres
manager of the Padres fans, should they be excited that
Mike Schlitt is taking over as the manager of the
San Diego baseball team? Is sho hey o'tani the Lionel
Messi of Major League Baseball? And what is your position
(00:43):
on in basketball limiting Lebron James usage being critical crucial
for the Lakers. It's a highly debated point in basketball circles.
We'll talk about that and more. It's all come your
way right now here. It is our number three. It
is not a friarfire, it is a friar higher. Well come.
(01:07):
In the beginning of another hour of the Ben Malors Show,
we are.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
In the air everywhere in combination as we provide a
harvest of the heart coast to coast, border, the border
and beyond.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
On the vast and unrealistically powerful microphones of fsr mmnating
live from the track the warning track of sports Chat.
As we are broadcasting live from the Tirak dot Com
studios Tyraq dot com. We'll help you I get there
and unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free road hazard protection
(01:49):
and over ten thousand recommended in Starllars Mason, the millennials
impressed by that tire rack dot com the way tirebind
show me our lead hour, the rare and appropriate baseball model.
And now I'm looking forward to the Hot Stove League.
The Hot Stove League really gets joned up after Thanksgiving.
(02:10):
The period of time between Thanksgiving and mid mid December
is when most of the heavy lifting usually happens in baseball.
So we've got some good transactions if you're a fan
of the transaction that's gonna be coming up here. The
Winter meetings will be taking place, and you really only
have about two weeks to get all your moves in
because everyone goes on vacation at the end of the
year for Christmas and New Year's and honok and all
(02:32):
that stuff. So but our lead this hour coming from
San Diego. That is where the Pod squad are making moves.
They're making moves now if you didn't see this, maybe
not the pod race. The San Diego baseball team philled
a void in the dugout. Normally that would not rise
to the top of the malt monologue status. But I
(02:53):
think this is an interesting story because this guy had
a good record in his previous gig and now he
heads to Southern California to fill the void in the dugout.
Mike Schlitt is his name, and baseball is his game.
He's the next manager of the San Diego baseball team.
Holy Dick Williams batman. So Schlitt agrees to a two
(03:16):
year contract the team and asked then he was in
Saint Louis for several years. The Cardinals made the playoffs
three consecutive years with this cat as their manager, and
he was the manager of the Year, which looks good
collecting dust on a shelf in a case. But he
won that in twenty nineteen. Was still that go now
schlit replaces Bob Melvin, Bye bye Bobby, as he took off,
(03:43):
departed from San Diego and he could not handle working
for the Potters anymore. Two years as the skipper, he
took the same position with the San Francisco baseball team.
And to tell you how toxic the relationship was between
Bob Melboyn and the Padre front office. They let Bob
(04:03):
Melvin go to the Giants, a divisional opponent, and did
not even get a draft pick or like a bucket
of baseball's in return.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
They just let him leave.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
They couldn't even get pine tar for Bob Melbourne. Theydn't
even want pine tar. They said, just get him out
of here, all right. So let us discuss the question
should Podres fan not fans? Should Podreys fan be excited
about Mike Schlitt taking over his manager? So I've got
(04:34):
three ring binder, Austin powers, and kryptonite, and we will
combine all of these things together and we are going
to make the fish taco. Now, I don't like the
fish taco. I like tacos, but I don't like fish.
And I'm happy to say I worked in San Diego.
I love San Diego. I've gone there a bunch over
the years since I stopped working there, never had a
(04:56):
fish taco. Don't like the fish. That's the deal, all right.
So anyway, first of all, the answer to the question
should Padre fan be excited about Mike Schlitt taking over
as the manager. The answer is N plus zero equals no.
The answer is no. In my lifetime, in my lifetime
doing this and just being a fan, I can count
(05:19):
the number of times a coach is hired in baseball
where you're like, oh, man, I got a warm Tingley feeling.
I got a warm Tingley feeling about that hires that's exciting.
This is not one of them. Now, I have nothing
against Mike Schlitt. He's not on the list though it's
my big board. He's not on my big board. We
have nothing against him. He treated the Saint Louis uniform
(05:42):
like an Iron Man suit. He did. He treated the
Cardinals all that Cardinal Way bull crap and all. He
bought into all that like it had magical powers. He
worshiped the Cardinal Way, and they still tossed him into
a bonfire. That's the Cardinals right there. He was like,
he reminded me of like the Sore when the sort
of managed the Dodgers. He's talking about Dodger blow and
(06:02):
all that stuff. Well, this guy Schlitt was doing the
same thing with the Cardinals and they still got rimed.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
And he one.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Now the reason this is an odd fit. It is
a square peg into a round hole. Here's why we
just mentioned earlier here Bob Melvin was run out. Bob
Melvin was run out of San Diego. He got new
a disagreement with the front office, the GM there with
the Podres and the team the owners dying at the time,
the guy's dying, and they picked the GM. They let
(06:29):
Melvin leave. He took off. And the other issue here
is the disagreement was supposedly based on analytics that Bob
Melvin was not gung ho with all the nerds that
worked for the Podreys. There was some disagreement about that.
So we fast forward now ahead in our story, dude
timing reasons and schlitt the guy that's the new guy
(06:51):
in San Diego. He was dumped in Missouri for the
same thing that Bob Melvin was done for. The disagreements,
the differences between philosophy, and so that is why the
Cardinals got rid of this guy. It's PC jargon to
not follow. He didn't want to follow the analytics verbatim,
(07:15):
and so they said it was a toxic work environment.
That was one of the quotes that was going around
A couple of years ago when this guy got let go.
But essentially, it's keep your mouth shut and take the
three ring binder and treat it like the Holy Bible
and whatever's in the three ring binder. You just do it.
You just blindly do it, and you don't even think
(07:36):
about it. And we'll see if this guy can do that.
Mike Schlady's got a second chance here, and he's essentially
a middle manager. The Potrey job is not a good job.
The reason it's not a good job the person that
was willing to spend anything to win is not with
us anymore. He's moved on to the big playing field
(07:57):
in the sky, unfortunately behind the pearly gates, and so
he's now playing with the Angels. And the Podres they
don't have they don't have the kind of they're not
gonna have the kind of pay roll. Everyone in baseball
I've talked to that. When I have text people about
what the Podgers are gonna do, they all say downsized.
They're gonna downsize. They're they're not gonna bring back Blakes now,
they're gonna trade a couple of big name players on
the team. Because the TV deal fell apart and the
(08:19):
owners and not with them anymore. The families owning the team,
so they got to hold onto that money and they've
got to make a big profit every year.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
Now.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Secondly, speaking of the hostile thing, I was gonna talk
about this in a previous episode of the show, but
I was hostilely attacked by gremlins, so I did not
get this. I did, so I wanted to mention the show.
Hey Otani story. There was a report a couple of
days ago that claimed that O'tani is the Lionel Messi
(08:46):
of baseball. He's Baseball's Leo o Messi, and the story
claimed that Otani's gonna have that kind of impact. If
you haven't followed Food the Ball, you might remember the story.
Even if you don't, don't follow because it was a
big sort where the Miami soccer team, the inner Miami
soccer team, just a bad team, terrible team and all
that worst attendance in the MLS, we are told, and
(09:09):
they signed this washed up soccer player named Messi, and
every hack celebrity in Miami was out there wanting to
watch these games and pay big money, and all that
became the hottest ticket in town. When Messi was there,
so is shohey O, Tony free Age the Lionel Messi
(09:30):
of Major League Baseball. And I'm actually going to shake
my head no on this. It's a different situation. And
I would say that that is greatly exaggerated. Now I
would compare Otani to the iconic movie character Austin Powers,
International Man of Mystery. But the mystery has already been solved.
(09:50):
We've seen him play for a number of years in
the big leagues. He's been a very good player. He's
won an MVP Award a couple of times. So good
for him. And despite all that, I know, the baseball
scrib all those hardcore baseball writers, they got knee pads
out for Otani when he comes to town. They love him.
They came massage him the whole thing, the manny and
the petty. He does not have these Bengali effect Like
(10:12):
the ratings don't spike up when Otani's on the television.
They don't spike up. We have the data, or the
data didn't happen in Anaheim is going to happen if
he's wearing a Cub's uniform. Now, he's a great player.
You'd want to have him on your team. The Dodgers
are trying to get him. They're the favorite. Be nice,
that's fine, whatever, he's a good player, but it's not
like he's going to spark people to show up. Wouldn't
(10:35):
otherwise show up. That's just not based in reality. That's
not how baseball operates. And Otani the Angels attendance, they
were okay as a road draw, but it's not like
they led baseball and road attendants or home attendance in
Anaheim when Otani was playing there. Now, the one thing
Otani will dominate in terms of revenue, which is more
(10:58):
important than the wow factor. It's all about the revenue.
And I remember going to Angel games last couple of
years and it was like you were transported to some
town in Japan with the advertising right at every sports
drink company or you name it, any kind of Japanese
(11:18):
food coming. They all got sponsorships at Otani's games, and
more people watching Japan than there are in America for Otani,
which is great. I mean, you want to sell crap
in Japan, It's wonderful. Now, final thought, we shift away
from baseball, we go to pro bouncy ball, and there's
there's a story that came to my attention, the Lakers
(11:38):
are remember the story they were planning on limiting Lebron James,
limiting Lebron James to around twenty eight or thirty minutes
a night this season. There's a big story like the
second day of the NBA season, So how's that working out? Well,
don't ask Lebron heading into the game. That was a
route or root against the Utah Jazz. So we didn't
(12:00):
that many minutes in the game Tuesday night, but prior
to that, Lebron had topped thirty two minutes in ten
of his thirteen outings for the team that's not won
a legitimate championship or any kind of championship since Kobe
Bryant back in the day. So the question is what
is your position on the over the top basketball reporting
(12:22):
that the NBA media hyperventilating that the Lakers cannot overextend
King James. That is the reporting. So my position on
that is unlimiting Lebron James usage being crucial. I say
it is light to the men. Bran, That's what I say.
Lebron James, this is gonna blow your mind. He is
(12:44):
going to wear down whether you play him fifteen minutes
a game or forty minutes a game, he's going to
wear down. You can put him in a display case
and put a light on him, he's still going to
wear down. Okay, his kryptonite, His kryptonite is the aging process.
Now Lebron's been able to play much better than just
about everyone else. Another piece of kryptonite here is the
(13:06):
human mind when it comes to this, and it blows
me away that people are still doing this michigas with
if you play X number of minutes, sure it'll be
fresher for the playoffs. And are we supposed to believe
just riddle me this, batman. Are we supposed to believe
that if Lebron James plays thirty minutes or less, that
he'll be healthy for the postseason. But if he plays
(13:27):
thirty two minutes a game, so two extra minutes a game,
that he's not gonna be fresh as a daisy, and
then the wheels are going to fall off? Are we
supposed to believe that really two extra minutes a game.
It's the same nonsense we get in baseball where if
you throw one hundred pitches, you're okay, but one hundred
and five pitches you're really risking it one hundred and ten.
(13:50):
There should be a war tribunal. It's this blind spot
that people have. It's like walking on hot coals. It's like, oh,
every plays a too minutes a game. I would if
I ran that team, and thank god I don't, I
would play him as much as I have to. And
he's gonna wear down anyway. He's gonna be broken down
by the time the playoffs come around. And the funny
(14:12):
thing about this, the NBA announced, because the TV ratings
were going down, that load management doesn't work. Remember that
story that came out a few months ago. The NBA
announced just before the start of the regular season, it
doesn't work. And the determined follow the science. You people
love the science. Follow the science. Doesn't show that resting,
sending guys out, correlates, correlate, big word correlates to lack
(14:37):
of injuries and fatigue or anything like that. It is
the Ben Mathers Show. If you'd like to be parting,
to join us here the lines. Our open speakeasy rules
are in effect. If you were listing previous hours, you
heard one of the great just debacles we've ever had
on the show, a new low for Eddie Garcia and
Justin Cooper that they went to a deep fake to
(14:59):
try to make me look bad and it didn't work.
The Fortunately, the tremendous hearing of the average listener, they
know the truth and they could tell there's a couple
of differences there and they could absolutely tell what the
reality of that was. Time now for the Mallor Riddle
of the day. And here is the mallor riddle of
(15:21):
the day, and we go to football. Dolphins wide receiver
Tyreek Hill, in some audio that is bouncing around here,
says when officials asked him not to make any gestures
after scoring in a recent Dolphin game, he said, I'm blank.
He said, I'm blank, is what he said. That is
the Mallor Riddle of the day. Answer the riddling, You'll
(15:43):
be the smartest person in the room. We'll get to
that and we will do it next.

They Dolphins wide receiver tyreek Hill. When officials asked him
not to make gestures after scoring in a recent game,
he said, I'm blank now. David the fried Daddy in
(18:15):
Pennsylvania says The answer is I am him, is what
he said. Let's see, does anyone else know the answer?
We go to the Mallard Militia of the Great Unwashed.
Yaphimi says the answer to the Mala riddle, he said
the audio was fabricated, is what he said. Well, that's
Eddie's domain. Scottie in Rhode Island, scott and Rhode Island
(18:35):
says he said, I'm gonna get naked and do the
helicopter all right. Ferk Dog says, I'm tired of Eddie
Carrisa Thompson Garcia making things up. That's right. I'm surprised
my attorney is not called in here, ferg Dog. He
must be busy on some other cases. Who else do
we have? The Mexican John Dutton says the Malar riddle answers,
(18:56):
I'm stoned, I'm stone clam said the answers, I'm flipping
everybody off next time I score. Benito, the Cowboys fan
says Tyreek Hill said, I'm high. The sawman in the
Great State of Mississippi said that. Ta Cheetah said, hear me, roar,
hear me, roar you. Fudgie in Boston says, I'm a moron.
(19:21):
I am a moron, A double ow Mexican in San
Diego says, I am really white. Well, that's a great
line from a classic movie which could not be made
in today's times. Who else do we have? Freddy says
the riddle is deep fake? Ben Maller, Yeah, Eddie Garcia going,
that's a new low in the history of radio. Joe
(19:41):
and Okinawa says, I am the claw. I am the claw.
Kathy in Madison, Wisconsin says the answer to the rally
riddle of today is I am the Lizard King. The
Lizard King, alf the alien Opiner says he said he's
a fan of cooper als. That is the answer.
Speaker 5 (20:00):
There.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Oh yeah, the Hurricanes A're gonna bring back the Hartford
Whalers jerseys. That's exciting.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
There you go. Jerseys are great. The pants are awful.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
I don't I don't like the whole. It's like like
the Titans, the Tennessee Titans were in the Houston Oilers things. Yes, count,
It's like I don't like courtesy. Flusher said, I am
a poopy head? Is the answer? All right? Eddie? Do
you have an answer? Is he mallor riddle of the day?
And here it is again the malar riddle of the
day Tyreek Hill. In a recent game, officials asked him
(20:31):
to not make any gestures after scoring. He said, I
am blank.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
Said, I am not Ben mallor I pay off my bets.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Eddie? You again, do we have to go through this again?
Speaker 5 (20:44):
You want to?
Speaker 1 (20:45):
You want to waste more time. I mean, you're on
the wrong side here, Eddie. You were caught. You thought
you could get away with it, and we called you
on your bull crap. That's the way anyway. The answer
to the malar riddle of to day Tyreek Hill, when
officials asked him not to make any hand gestures after scoring,
said I am spreading world peace. He said, I am
spreading world peace, in reference to the peace signal that
(21:07):
he gives out after scoring. Let's go to the phones.
We'll say hello to Andrea. She's hanging out in Berkeley.
She's got all the star charts out, and she also
knows when she hears a deep fake.
Speaker 7 (21:18):
Hello Andrea, Hello Ben, how are you?
Speaker 1 (21:21):
If I was any better, I would not work with
unscrupulous characters like Eddie Garcia.
Speaker 7 (21:25):
Yeah. Kind of intense tonight.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
I understand. I don't get it. I don't know why
Eddie would do this. I thought we were friends.
Speaker 7 (21:32):
Yeah, well, doing the best we can with what we.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Got, so I understand. I mean sometimes you think you
know people and then they go and do deep fakes.
Speaker 7 (21:40):
You know, Well, it takes a village. So I guess
we got to make allowances and take the high road.
So that's it.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Like a low road, you go near the water on
the low the low road you go near the water.
There the high road you have altitude.
Speaker 7 (21:55):
And I don't know, that's funny. I mean, Aaron Rodgers,
you know this is quite interesting. Then we've been saying
this all along. He's sagittarius. I wrote the article I
just sought for the Athletic in August.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
That's right, I remember that. Well you are the as
was it? Brochi calls you the astrology lady.
Speaker 7 (22:16):
Yes, yeah, he affectionately named me the astrology lady because
I do astrology for him and I wrote his astrology
profile for the Padres magazine many moons ago, and I
seem at the winter meetings and he wouldn't remember my name,
but he'd be like, oh, hello, the astrology lady. And
he was very kind hearted, and yeah, he was obviously
(22:38):
with the padres, with the Giants, some changes there. But
Aaron Rodgers, I was saying, I wrote the article in
August of this year, and I was talking about Aaron
Rodgers having that jupit of transit in Taurus. It did
you well, and that gives him increased energy leadership in
December January. Now, as you know, he wants to come
(23:02):
back around his birthday. And what's interesting, Robert sala I
looked at their compatibility. Ben, He's January thirty first, nineteen
seventy nine. He's an Aquarius, and he's kind of nonconformist
in his own way, and he says things like, well,
I won't get in the way of Aaron Rodgers. You know,
the doctors will have the final word. But if he
wants to come back, he wants to come back, so
(23:24):
he kind of, you know, backs off and gives them space.
Aquariums are kind of innovative and bohemian and unorthodox in
their own way. And Aaron Rodgers that you put a
transit is definitely making him feel, you know, really expansive
and abundant. And remember Mercury's retrograde. Ben, I want to
tell remind you I learned that.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Actually, when the gremlins attacked, I learned that.
Speaker 7 (23:47):
Yeah, I no, thank goodness, you're okay.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
I survived. I was. I was actually bitten by a
couple of gremlins, but I still survived.
Speaker 7 (23:53):
We were putting out good energy for it.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Well, thank you, I appreciate it. I'd like to thank
the highway patrol for not giving me a speeding ticket,
So thank you for that.
Speaker 7 (24:00):
Yeah, no, that was intense. So mercury retrograde, Ben, It's
actually December thirteenth till January.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
All right, So I think I got a preview of
it though this week.
Speaker 7 (24:10):
Well, I was going to say we're in a shadow period.
Remember I call it retro shade, Like before it retrogrades,
it starts getting funky a couple of weeks before.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
That's kind of like when Eddie wats in. There's a
funky smell when it gets.
Speaker 7 (24:22):
But you know, Aaron Rodgers, as we know, is into astrology.
December second, nineteen eighty three, Chico, California, two fifty pm.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Yeah, he played in Little League Chico's Bellbonds. He played
for that lily. Yeah, oh sure and sweet.
Speaker 7 (24:36):
So basically I think he's also trying to avoid mercury, retrograde,
bend and come back before because retrograde, remember, can delay,
but not deny. The mantra delay not denial. So there's
a lot of things that play there. At least, you know,
most of all is that sagittarian kind of fire. And
let's get this.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Yeah, there's a lot of spinning plates. There's a lot
of splitting plates. Well, we'll leave it on that. But Andrea,
thank you, and you are on X. People can say
hello to you, virgo in service. You want to say
hi to the astrology lady right there? All right, thank you?
All right, bye bye, there she goes Andrew. She's got
the bubble bath going right there. Yeah, that's right. So
I knew that. I know we're like best friends, me
(25:17):
and you. I know everything about it. All right, hold,
thank you all hang up? Going all right now, it
is the Ben Mahlor Show. We'll push back too much
around enough. We have some more developments on this great
Eddie Garcia scandal. I will have my first character witness
that we will have on uh, not that I need one.
The case has already been adjudicated and win for me.
(25:37):
But right now, let's get you caught up on everything
going on in the overnight and a man who dabbles
in deep fakes Eddie Garcia.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
If you missed it hour two, bottom of the hour, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
I'll go back. I want you to go back and
listen to it on podcast. I want that's embarrassing. It's
all your evidence of Eddie using a deep fake is
what this course of course, it doesn't sound anything like me.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
It sounds exactly like you.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Begin nothing like me at all, Eddie, much more masculine voice.
Speaker 5 (26:08):
You don't be sure to catch live editions of The
Ben Meller Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
Let's see a note here.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
I wonder if you as a musical note.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
No, okay, It is a note from the NBA before
launching an unorthodox lawsuit against the Toronto Raptors that includes
allegations questioning the objectivity of NBA commission Adam Silver. New
York Knicks owner James Dolan resigned his position on the
NBA's Board of Governors.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
What what is the Yeah, this is the Toronto Raptors
hired a guy from the Knicks analytical department and the
Knicks James Dolan so Parado, a guy that has face
recognition cameras at Madison Square Garden is so paranoid that
he's convinced that the proprietary blend of analytical data that
(26:57):
the Knicks have was stolen by the Toronto Raptors. And
so he's filed the lawsuit because of course, you want
to have all the teams to steal from, you want
to steal from the Knickerbockers.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
They've been so good over the years. That's a fair point.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
And yeah, so Dolan's so paranoid you file lawsuit. And
this is taboo, Eddie, because normally in the cartel of
basketball or any of these sports, it's decided among the leagues.
You don't actually file a lawsuit. But he filed a
lawsuit for like ten million dollars against the Toronto basketball team. Interesting,
so that's what that is all about. And you know,
(27:28):
now Dolan owns that that spear in Vegas. Does that
mean when you go to that spear that you get Yeah, yeah,
that's a Dolan he owns it. So when you go
there to like take I might be banned. I've said
so many mean things about Dolan on the radio. I
won't be allowed in.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
He does like to do that from what I understand.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Yeah, so anyway, it is the Bean Mahlor Show. As
we press on, I would call my first character witness
now and a man with Eddie. It's my time. Okay,
you'll have your time. You already had your time. You embarrasses.
I don't need any more time. The proof is there now.
When you think of morals, you think of scruples. This
(28:06):
is a person that is at the very top of
the mountain. Okay, this is the last bastion of purity
in the world, and he has some information about what
exactly went on in the previous hour. I call on
the honorable Jed who fled, Hello, Jed.
Speaker 8 (28:26):
Timing is everything in life at this very moment, I
have just a few moments your you know, double X,
I don't know you and Eddie had the gun back,
not I consperience. You're fierce now a tential headway, at
least in my world. Her mom was terrified whenever she
picked up the phone. It is the exact voice of her.
Dollar said, Mom, they've got me, blah blah blah. Who
(28:47):
cares what the kid was saying? It was fake, but
the kid even had these these certain nuances laugh and
all that and the deep fake simulating kidnappers kid nappers
pooled the mom but she she's like, whoa you know
who cays about the story? Did these take having Eddies
cheating edge line? I don't want into you in jesticekeeper's education.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Uh No, so you think this is all Eddie here?
You believe Eddie is the one that's responsible. He's the
He's the one that pulled the trigger on this, not
Cooper loop now Uh again Uh for those who didn't understand,
you did talk slower this time, jed. So that's that's
got a good job by you, like that you actually
sent me a link here about what probably I think
(29:26):
this is probably what Eddie used here, the deep fake
voice technology that you you you good job by you,
good journalism, good reporting by you. And what should Eddie's
punishment be here?
Speaker 8 (29:37):
Are you stupid is to is to gum it as?
Are you high as to jj fled That's what I'm thinking.
I know that part time it should be to have
to refer to he's set the way the real f
s U Floria State University exactly or something like that.
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
Oh man, I thought you'd come up with something better
than that.
Speaker 8 (29:55):
You know, I thought he's okay, how about hosting a
show with Ben now at four hours a night?
Speaker 3 (30:00):
That's cruel? Are usual?
Speaker 8 (30:02):
Yeah, I'm just sinking about that. But I'm just listening,
all right, phone the guy that answers the phone. I
know you've got a pretty mouth voice. When I hear
and that guy is hold on, hey go, he didn't
even he I mean this, joy, I don't care.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Let's go to Tammy and Montana. Hello, Tammy, here's my
character witness.
Speaker 4 (30:22):
Yes, exactly. Well, then two things. I just thought that
your voice sounded like that chick voice you had when
you first started out radio. It was kind of high
pitched and stuff, so I'm pretty sure it was you.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
No, Tammy, listen, you're very tired. You're working eighty hours
a day. There's only twenty four hours in a day,
working way too many hours. So clearly you're you're a
little hazy. Right now, We love you, Tammy. You're you're
the queen of the show, a very important member the
Malad militia. You've done more goodwill than anyone. But on
this one, you're wrong, Tammy. Unfortunately, on this one you're wrong.
Speaker 4 (30:56):
Well, I think I'm right, but I do have a
punishment for for anyone that may have wronged you in
the past. And could you please please do the nickname.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Oh well, you know what now that you bring that up, Timmy, that's.
Speaker 7 (31:10):
Your character witness.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
That's your character. I don't think you are No, No,
that's your character witness cards. And you know what, You're right, Timmy,
I I I have let my nickname run down. Of
course you had to lie, you had to lie earlier
and do a deep fake. Come on, anyway, here we go.
I am known.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
There you go me.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
You know what, I'm not gonna do it. Take that
back to him, take that back. I'll do the run.
Now take it back.
Speaker 3 (31:34):
Don't blackmailer they.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
Get back, Timmy, Come on, no, I can't. I can't
do the run. I was gonna do the run. I
can't do it now. Yeah, hang up with you. Let's go.
Jed who fled callback he's using a golden ticket? Hello, Jed,
who fless is ridiculous. He just he's got all the ticket.
You gotta call the Yes, Jed, you're back on the air.
You're ball guarding the show. Please.
Speaker 8 (31:57):
Ed is the best looking smart man who never cheats
in his life, and I'm glad he hadn't. We'll receive
him when he's dead.
Speaker 7 (32:03):
I hope that.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
Oh that was a fake. That's a fake jet who fled.
This isn't the real jet who fled. That's indeed fig
Now the original one was the real deal. This is
a fake jet who flagged. That's a fake. Let's go
to Slock. Let's go to Slug in Vegas, my other
another character, witness my friend slug in Vegas. Hello Sluck,
Hey buddy.
Speaker 7 (32:19):
Hello, how are you doing tonight?
Speaker 3 (32:21):
No, it's not him.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
He didn't say, hey, money, buddy, there is right there,
there's your guy. I'm trying to be serious.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
Right, Well, that's good because it's a serious show.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
It's very important.
Speaker 4 (32:32):
It's very serious, and I'm not you know, I'm not
one to lie.
Speaker 8 (32:35):
But Eddie, we had a bet back in.
Speaker 6 (32:37):
The day so we can have a better year.
Speaker 8 (32:40):
Roethlisberger Car they both blew.
Speaker 5 (32:43):
Excuse me, they both blow now, But at the time
Roethlisberger really blew.
Speaker 8 (32:48):
And Car came in third place. I think it was MVP.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
This year, we had.
Speaker 8 (32:53):
A state dinner bet on it. You denied me, said
it never happened. It thought.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
Oh my god, Eddie, Eddie Garcia, put your head down
in shame. Garcia. You deprived Slug in Vegas of a
delicious sneak dinner with a potato on the side. That's
a bad job by you, Eddie.
Speaker 3 (33:10):
Doesn't he work at a restaurant.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
Doesn't matter, Eddie, he wanted he wanted you to pay.
So that that shows you a pattern of immoral behavior,
does it not, Slug?
Speaker 5 (33:21):
It does?
Speaker 8 (33:23):
That's the truth.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
The truth, it's not. It is not easy for you,
Slug to make this phone call. Is that correct, Slug,
It's not. It's painful. So you're saying there's a there's
a track record of poor behavior by Eddie Garcia.
Speaker 3 (33:39):
Unfortunately these are the people.
Speaker 8 (33:43):
It's true tape, It's on tape somewhere out there.
Speaker 9 (33:47):
But that, But that does not change the question at hand,
the question.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
There's no question.
Speaker 9 (33:53):
That does not change the fact that Ben agreed to
a bet where the over under was six wins for
the Colorado Buffalo's and they did not make it.
Speaker 8 (34:03):
Oh, I don't know about any of that.
Speaker 3 (34:08):
Shining in on.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
The current events. It's amazing Coop has not found the
audio of Eddie admitting that I won the bet and

The number zero, the number zero, that's a lie. And
I was giving the peace sign. I was giving the
peace sign, the mark. Yeah, I would never lie to
a blind man.
Speaker 3 (34:53):
Just did.
Speaker 10 (34:55):
How many was it, Eddie?
Speaker 1 (34:57):
It was zero. I held the fist up, which I
think is a sign of something I think, but I
don't know there. I don't think I should hold that up.
I take that back, Yes, what.

King Benzu don't understand why you listen Man now live

(36:23):
It's Ben Mallor.
Speaker 5 (36:24):
It's another Ben Maller game.
Speaker 3 (36:26):
We've endored too many of these.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
Is it too much or not enough?
Speaker 5 (36:30):
Enough?
Speaker 2 (36:30):
Already?
Speaker 5 (36:31):
All right?
Speaker 1 (36:31):
Right to the game where you say hello to Ben? Hello, Ben, welcome?
You ready to go? And you're in Maine?
Speaker 8 (36:36):
Yes, ready to go?
Speaker 1 (36:38):
All right? Too much? Not enough? All the answers are
either too much or not enough? And way we go.
There were ten you get three right to win the game.
There were ten receivers with over one hundred receiving yards
in week eleven. Is that too much or not enough?
Speaker 8 (36:54):
Too much?
Speaker 1 (36:56):
Is he right? That is correct? You are right there,
you go, all right? Dot too much? There were seven,
including Odell Beckham Junior, with his first one hundred yard
game since way back in twenty nineteen. Question number two
for Ben. It's Ben and Ben on the radio. The
Philadelphia Eagles are now nine and one for the fifth
time in franchise history. Is that too much or not
(37:19):
enough for the Birds?
Speaker 8 (37:21):
Too much?
Speaker 1 (37:23):
Just too much? No, that is wrong. That is wrong.
It's a seventh time the Eagles have been nine to one.
They've reached the NFL Championship or Super Bowl each of
the previous six. We'll see if that continues. Your one
and one Ben. Question number three for Ben and Maye Miles.
Garrett just became the fourth player in NFL history to
have six consecutive seasons of double digit sacks? Is that
(37:46):
too much or not enough?
Speaker 8 (37:51):
Not enough?
Speaker 1 (37:52):
The man says, not enough. Sack rule has been around
since nineteen eighty two. That is correct, got that right?
So your second right answer is to the seventh player
to do it, joining the Minister of fence, Reggie White,
John Randall, Bruce Smith, Lawrence Taylor, Jared Allen, and DeMarcus
Where a question for you get this right, you win
the game. Ben. Just like that, here we go. Garrett
Cole just became the eighth pitcher in Yankees history to
(38:13):
win the Cy Young Award. Is that too much or
not enough? For the Brox Bombers? He says not enough?
Is he right? No believe it? Or not too much?
Yankees have offense not pitching six the Yankee pitcher to
win the award and we move on. Roger Clemens is
the last one to do it. Final question comes down
to this, Ben Blake Snell, bro I'm risking my life.
(38:35):
Just became the third Lefty to win the cy Young
in both leagues. Is that too much or not enough
for the win? He says, not you finally that you
were sure you want to do that? Yeah, ah, you lose.
You're a loser. You didn't win. No, you got it wrong.
Too much, is the answer. He and Randy Johnson are
(38:56):
the only Lefties to win the Sighing Awards. So unfortunately, Ben,
I tried to help you out. I've noticed people don't
listen to my advice anymore lately. It's odd, but you
do get a lifetime supply of nothing. So happy holidays, Ben,
you get nothing from the Ben Maler Show. Congratulations, very
happy holiday.
