Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our number three talking bays ball,
big payroll, bad results the New York Metropolitans. So why
is GM David Stearns not not ready to declare it
is time to hold a bonfire with the met roster.
We'll discuss that the Atlanta Braves are claiming they're going
(00:22):
to keep it in house as they try to replace
Ronald o'cuno Junr as he's out for the year. Do
you buy that? And how do you classify former umpire
Joe West defending Angel Hernandez in saying that the media
narrative is not accurate. We'll talk about that here. It
is our number three. Get the kerosene ready, welmeme. In
(00:45):
the beginning of another hour of The Ben Mather Show.
We are in the air everywhere, popping fresh as we
scrub the data coast to coast, sport of the Border
and beyond. All the best and imposingly powerful microphones of
(01:07):
fsre ammnating live from the deli as we serve up
knuckle sandwiches as a hogi all night long. We're broadcasting
live from the ti Raq dot Com studios. Tyraq dot
com will help you get there in unmatched selection, fast
free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand

recommended installers. Tyre rack dot com, the Way tire Buying
Sure B. And you have arrived at the talkdojo in
this hour. Change it up a little bit, talk some
bass ball. So I'm watching the Mets and the Dodgers
(01:50):
played a doubleheader on Tuesday, and I'm such a loser.
I watched both ends of the double because I got
no life now. To be honest, though full disclosure. The
reason I watched the Dodger I watched the afternoon game
because it was the only game in town that I
was interested in at the early window for me on
the West Coast at one o'clock West Coast time, four
o'clock in New York. So watch that. So then I
(02:12):
get a text from friend of the show, Marlins Man.
He said, are you watching the Dodgers Mets game? At
the time, I was not watching the Dodger Mets game,
but he wanted me to watch. I turn it on.
There he was in that beautiful orange Marlins jersey, sitting
right behind home plate at City Field in Queens. So
(02:34):
I took a little photo and I sent it to him.
He was happy about that. But I watched the game
and the Mets suck. I mean, the Dodgers suck right now.
The Mets suck more. It was a suck fest, is
what it was. Dodgers and Mets. Mets had the lead
in Game one until late down night breakdown. Who cares
about a regular season Mets Dodgers doublehead. That's not the story.
(02:54):
The story here is what's happening to the Mets roster.
That's the story. If you didn't see this, the GM,
the person responsible ahead of baseball ops they call it
now somebody named David Sterns used to be a big
shot at Milwaukee. David Sterns not ready, not ready to
declare last rights for the New York Mets, even though
(03:17):
they are a gazillion games behind the Phillies in the
National League East and in terms of talent, they have
no business being in the same conversation even with a
war torn, battlescarred Atlanta brave team or the Doyers as
underachieving they are. But get to the point, please, so
David Sterns, not David Stern. David Stearns says that they
(03:37):
have quote plenty of time. It's premature, premature to start
talking about trades, plenty of time, even though the Mets
have underwhelmed and underperformed so far this season. So let
us discuss the question why, why is the New York
Metropolitans executive David Sterns not ready to declare the Mets
(04:01):
are open for business, that they're sellers. How come he's
not willing to do that. So I've got Google, family guy,
and congregation, and we will combine all of these things
together and we are going to make a zamboni to
re ie the arena. There the ice in the arena,
(04:22):
make a zamboni, will create it from nothing. We'll just
create a name, which is a family name, Zamboni. It's
a family name. So, first of all, to answer the
question what is the Mets executive doing here? He is
attempting to control the narrative. He's trying to control the narratives.
What we're trying to do. This is a use hockey lingo,
a power play, power play. Power play is what it is.
(04:44):
Because if the GM of the Mets comes out and
says we are open for business, we are open for business,
they crank the sign up and all that. Then all
of a sudden, you start getting critiqued. Why haven't you
traded this guy? How come you kept that guy? What's
up with that? You didn't get enough for that player?
Bad job by you, etcetera, etcetera, etc. So if Stearns
(05:09):
says that, then he has to answer questions about it.
So he's instead being methodical. And to that, I say,
police with extra cheese. This is not programming, Google, it
is not. All you have to do is look at
the roster and you get the urge, the urge to purge,
(05:30):
get rid of the roster. You got a bunch of
guys whose hobby is puking in their mouth, and the
ones that don't puke in their mouth on the Mets,
those guys they pitdle down their leg if you know
what I'm saying, My god, So you look at that roster,
is really you say the urge to purge? This is
one guy. This is all about one guy, and it's
(05:53):
the polar Bear. That's it. It's about Peter Alonzo. He's
the big Burley slugger who hasn't been the big Burley
slugger that he's been in years past. And he is
a lame duck. He's a lame duc de Metz and
they don't want to pay him what he thinks he's worth,
and so that means they're not going to resign him,
and they could trade him and get some suspect to
(06:16):
be named later. But you look up and down the roster.
Other than Pete Alonzo. There used to be the store
back in the old days named Kmart. There's only a
few of them left. But at the store Kmart, when
they would put stuff on sale, it's h's blue light special.
So I look at the Mets roster, blue light special.
You've got Luis Severino starting pitcher, Sean Manaia former Oakland A,
(06:37):
among others, Jose Quintana. All those guys can be yours
if the price is right. But wait, there's more Starling Martell.
You want him, you can have him. How about designated
hitter JD. Martinez? Yes, you can have JD. Martinz. There's
a bunch of relievers, and who cares who they are?
You don't know who those guys are. But the point
is you pick a pick apart. It's like a scavenger hunt,
(07:00):
and the Mets are going to trade a bunch of
those guys. But I just say, trade him, now, what
are you waiting for? Because whoever you get, and I
don't know what they're gonna get, but whoever they end
up trading for, who I likely have never heard of,
will provide a little bit of enthusiasm and even if
they suck, at least it's a different kind of suck.
All right now, turning the page, speaking of sucking and
(07:22):
speaking of trades, we are told that the Atlanta Braves,
Tommy's favorite team, the Atlanta Braves. Tommy and Atlanta. His
evil boss will not allow him to call the show,
but he does listen every night religiously while driving his
truck around Atlanta. But the Braves are planning to keep
it in house. When I'm talking about replacing Ronald Lacuna Junior,
(07:43):
the reigning MVP who went Snapcrackle Pop recently, he's out
for the year now, State sponsored MLB Media tells us
that the Atlanta Braves are going to stay internal. It's
another way to say in the house internal. With the
trio Michael Harris the second they've got him, They've got
(08:04):
Adam Duval and Jared Kelnick, who at one point was
the greatest Minor league player of all time. And then
the Mariners got him and that was about it. So
that's what they've got, so buy or sell? Here's the question.
By or sell the Braves standing pat on the Ronald
Lacuno junior injury and not making trade. So I am
(08:25):
going to sell this. I am not going to buy it.
This is what's known as a family guy situation. Now
what does that mean in sports parliamce. It's a family
guy situation. It is a quagmire. A quagmire is visiting
the Atlanta Braves. So I get what they're trying to do.
They're trying to give the opportunity to Michael Harris and
(08:47):
Kelnick and Adam Duval. But inevitably, when those guys stink,
then the Braves and they have another month and a
half to decide this, then they can make some trades.
It's a fluid situation. It's a fluid situation. Now, if
they start leaking, and they probably will, then they can
go on their little shopping spree. And last time the
(09:09):
Braves won the World Series, it was after they went
on a shopping spree. Ronald Coone Junior got hurt. They
picked up a couple of different players and one of
them played like I would say, Pete rose Ty Cobb,
Josh Gibson, I don't know whoever you want in that
nationally championship series now final fuck Angel talk, but not
(09:29):
the Anaheim Angels because they're boring and we can't and
they're not making any trades and all that. But former
MLB umpire country Joe West has chimed in on the
Angel Hernandez story, the forced retirement of Angel Hernandez. Well,
it turns out that Joe West is a massive advocate
(09:53):
for Angel Hernandez. Shocking. He has staunchly defended the encomp
but in stiff of an umpire it just recently announced
his bogus retirement to spend more time with his family.
And as we point out all the time, when someone
who's a public figure says they want to spend more
time with their family, they are lying ninety nine point
(10:17):
nine percent of the time. Liar, liar pants on fire.
All right, So Angel Hernandez, who is a bloody roue,
He's a bloody roux is what he is? Okay? In
this radio interview, here's the quote from Joe West. He said,
whether you want to believe it or not, he meaning
Angel Hernandez was good at it, meaning umpiring Joe West
(10:42):
snickering as you said that. So West underscored that umpires
are not graded based on the electric strike zone box
that you see when you're watching a baseball game on
your whatever device you use to watch the game. And
he says this is a common misconception among fans. So
(11:07):
on this one, how do you classify former umpire Joe
West defending Angel Hernandez. So my first thought is this
is on brand. It is on brand. The quote from
the Bible that iron sharpens iron for that repackaged and
all that, and this one it's heel sharpens heel. Yeah,
(11:31):
you got one baseball heel and another baseball heel. And
I do have mixed emotions on Angel Hernandez, and I
did a monologue about this the other day. But my
position on Angel Hernandez is this is not good for
my job. That I knew going into a baseball season
that I was good at least two or three Angel
(11:51):
Hernandez monologues about him screwing over a batter or a
pitcher or all of the above, blowing a call first phase,
whatever it might be. It's like a grab bag with
Angel Hernandez. He can screw up in every possible way.
So for my job, I'm better off with Angel Hernandez.
I'm better off with Joe West as bad as Joe
(12:14):
West was and getting into arguments with random people in
the game and making it all about Joe West. I'm
around a lot of people that make it all about them.
I did a TV show last year. I hope it
comes back with a guy that made it all about him,
you know, a louding to him. So but a country
Joe West standing right there defending, defending the fraternal Order
(12:41):
of the umpire, Blue Back, the Blue Back, the Blue
and they are all part of the same congregation of
heal umpires as hardly any left. Is C. B. Buckner?
Who's the new worst umpire in baseball? Is it c B. Buckner?
Is he now the worst umpire? Who's the worst of
the worst? I guess I'd have to go to that
nerd site to tracks the umpires. But the Tabernacle of
(13:02):
the Zebra, if you will, they all sing from the
same song sheet, all the umpires. It's the brotherhood of
being an umpire. This is the Ben Mahler Show. If

on the Celtics. Jason Tatum, James, I know why you
didn't Tato and Horford yourro for two. You gotta You're
like the Timberwolves. You're up against it. You gotta get
these last three right to win the game. All right?
(28:10):
Are you asking me to cheat? I have integrity. You
should ask Eddie to cheat because Eddie's the one that cheats.
I don't cheat. Garcia is the one that cheats. Wow,
all right, James, here we go. Question number three? Ben Brown?
You know who that Ismes Brown? Yes, it's James Brown's brother,
(28:33):
Ben Brown. Ben Brown just became the fourth Cub ever
to throw seven or more no hit innings with ten
plus strikeouts. Is that too much or not enough. This
is to stay alive. James. All right, let's find out, James,
you got it wrong. The answer is too much. He's
(28:53):
only the third cub pitcher to do that, joining Jake
Arieta and Carl James. Why are you getting upset? It's
a it's a radio game show, James. You know next
time you call you should be asleep. You'll win the game.
Speaker 9 (29:10):
To ring.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
I've noticed, James, all of your references are from like
nineteen eighty eight. All of your references.
Speaker 9 (29:19):

all right, all right, let.
Speaker 8 (32:35):
Me know what the what is questioning these minds today?
Speaker 1 (32:38):
Ben, all right, double o Mexican in San Diego. Here's
a lot of questions. He wants to know what is
the best way to turn a friend into a girlfriend.
Get out of that friend zone.
Speaker 8 (32:49):
Yeah, it's so hard because you really do want to
build that relationship before you start dating.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
Right.
Speaker 8 (32:54):
It's you say you're supposed to like be with your
best friend, but sometimes you get so into that friend
zone that they don't even see you like that.
Speaker 6 (33:02):
So, like, it's hard.
Speaker 8 (33:04):
It is hard. But my biggest advice for you stay consistent, Okay,
and when you slide in like the oh, hey maybe
we should take this somewhere if she says no, just
stay consistent. Don't be a jerk.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
Stay it's a double Mexicans. Once you get pigeonholed, you're
never getting out of that box. You're true, that's not
that's not always true. That's true.
Speaker 4 (33:28):
Time you got to wait for them to go and jerk,
and then then they get divorced and then they're like, oh,
you know what I should have been with the nice
guy and if you're still around, yeah, then they'll then
they'll come back.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
All right, King Rory, The King Roy says, is it
rude to ask someone if they have a sexually transmitted
disease before sleeping with it?
Speaker 8 (33:53):
Oh my gosh. That should never be seen as rude.
That should be seen as responsible. If you're going to
be responsible during your endeavors, you should ask, and you
should ask to see.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
People they're supposed to tell if they know.
Speaker 8 (34:05):
Right, and everyone knows though a lot of things don't
actually show any signs or symptoms. Oh really yeah, especially
in males.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
Yeah, are you blaming male?
Speaker 6 (34:13):
No?
Speaker 8 (34:13):
No, but it is. It is often males see ghost
symptoms and most of their things. Yes, really yes, So
always ask, always ask, and it should never be shameful.
If they don't want to tell you, you probably shouldn't sleep
with them.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
All right, boys, some of these I don't know that
we want to let's go. Let's go. Now this guy
Rick and Maryland, I know Rix got he's got the
great pipe, so I'm sure he's got a good question.
Hello Rick and Maryland. You're on with Loreina the Queen.
Speaker 9 (34:38):
Of Hearts morning Time on in time, morning time.
Speaker 6 (34:44):
What's en?
Speaker 9 (34:46):
Yes, I have a question? Yes, this is this is
this is a good one. I met this lady. Her
name is April, and so we got to know each other.
So it went to meet a family.
Speaker 6 (34:57):
Okay, I know she was.
Speaker 9 (35:00):
One third of a triplet in April, I mean May
and June. I like June. What should I do?
Speaker 8 (35:08):
Oh my gosh, i'd see if they're all down to
hang out sometime. I'm sure they love to reminisce.
Speaker 6 (35:14):
I don't know if you're.
Speaker 8 (35:15):
Really serious about that, though. See your sister you have
the best connection with. You know, you may like June
the most, but who do you have the best connection with? Like,
Summer's your month?
Speaker 1 (35:27):
Baby? They all look the same. What's the what are you?
All right? Thank you? Thank you? Rick? There he goes.
Rick went in doubt, go with June.
Speaker 8 (35:42):
Summer is a great month, you know?
Speaker 1 (35:44):
Yeah? All right? Donut Kelly our friend Kelly, she writes,
and she says, if something about your significant other is
really annoying but it actually doesn't affect you, do you
just let it go?
Speaker 8 (35:57):
No, Oh my gosh, you have to say something. Those
are those things that build up. It can be something
so minuscule, right, like, oh, you don't take your dishes
to the sink, and then one day you're gonna grab
the dishing or throw it at his head and you're
gonna break it. Wow, because you're just gonna get so frustrated.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
I mean that seems rather drastic.
Speaker 8 (36:14):
You know, if you hold it in, that's what's gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (36:17):
Yeah, well, okay, Like my wife has miss aphonia. You
know what that iss?
Speaker 6 (36:22):
What is that?
Speaker 1 (36:23):
That's like when you chew food like that.
Speaker 8 (36:26):
She doesn't like cheo. Yeah, you do it with your
mouth open like I'm a great chore.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
But she didn't like it. That's her issue. But she
puts music on it while we eat.
Speaker 6 (36:36):
So yeah.
Speaker 8 (36:37):
See my mom used to complain about my dad's chewing
and then they got divorced like a year and a
half later.
Speaker 1 (36:41):
Wow.
Speaker 8 (36:42):
So it's it's kind of a sign that you don't
love them like you should to be honest.
Speaker 1 (36:45):
Anyways, not be over this least is perfectly in the
Ferg Dog's question why he says are all women insane?
It's a great question, ferg Dog. I think that's is
that a rhetorical question you.
Speaker 8 (36:56):
Think, or a rhetorical question. Of course, we're all nuts.
Speaker 1 (36:59):
Yeah, okay, too much? All right, let's go to a
man who has traveled the friendly skies, and I'm sure
he's seen a lot of crazy things in those airplanes.
Our friend Salsa, Hello, Salsa.
Speaker 7 (37:10):
Good evening, Hello the rain up.
Speaker 6 (37:12):
Hello.
Speaker 9 (37:12):
I have a question. I'm a dancer, so when I
go out, I have a lot of people that are
taking pictures of me and send videos to my lady trying.
Speaker 7 (37:21):
To break us up.
Speaker 8 (37:22):
Wait, like a dancer, dancer, like an exotic dancer.
Speaker 7 (37:25):
A Latin dance.
Speaker 6 (37:27):
Oh okay, but.
Speaker 8 (37:28):
They're trying to send pictures to upset her. Yeah, that
seems ridiculous. Are you dancing naked?
Speaker 1 (37:34):
I am not.
Speaker 8 (37:35):
Okay, Well, she probably knows what you're doing. She probably
knows your job.
Speaker 1 (37:39):
Well, it's not as for the airlines's hobby.
Speaker 6 (37:42):
Latin dancing is very sexual. So I imagine that's the problem here, right.
Speaker 7 (37:48):
How do you suggest I handle this?
Speaker 8 (37:50):
I I would say, if she has a problem, invite
her to go with you. And if she doesn't want
to go with you, then she needs a respect that
you have your own.
Speaker 9 (37:56):
You know, we do go all the time.
Speaker 8 (37:59):
Oh see that, shake your hips with her?
Speaker 1 (38:01):
But make sure she's jealous. The other women are looking
at your saucer, right, You're like the male shakira, and
everyone look at your hips.
Speaker 6 (38:08):
Your wife should be envious.
Speaker 8 (38:10):
She should be like, wow, my husband's that good? All
these women trying to break us up? Being sexy and
dance your butt off. Okay, that's all we can do
in this life.
Speaker 1 (38:21):
Thank you the Great Salsa. Am surized you didn't call
up when the matterags meet the clippers. I thought you
would call up anyway. There it is the Queen of
Hearts with the radar
Hello and welcome. It's our number three talking bays ball,
big payroll, bad results the New York Metropolitans. So why
is GM David Stearns not not ready to declare it
is time to hold a bonfire with the met roster.
We'll discuss that the Atlanta Braves are claiming they're going
(00:22):
to keep it in house as they try to replace
Ronald o'cuno Junr as he's out for the year. Do
you buy that? And how do you classify former umpire
Joe West defending Angel Hernandez in saying that the media
narrative is not accurate. We'll talk about that here. It
is our number three. Get the kerosene ready, welmeme. In
(00:45):
the beginning of another hour of The Ben Mather Show.
We are in the air everywhere, popping fresh as we
scrub the data coast to coast, sport of the Border
and beyond. All the best and imposingly powerful microphones of

fsre ammnating live from the deli as we serve up
knuckle sandwiches as a hogi all night long. We're broadcasting
live from the ti Raq dot Com studios. Tyraq dot
com will help you get there in unmatched selection, fast

Sure B. And you have arrived at the talkdojo in
this hour. Change it up a little bit, talk some
bass ball. So I'm watching the Mets and the Dodgers
(01:50):
played a doubleheader on Tuesday, and I'm such a loser.
I watched both ends of the double because I got
no life now. To be honest, though full disclosure. The
reason I watched the Dodger I watched the afternoon game
because it was the only game in town that I
was interested in at the early window for me on
the West Coast at one o'clock West Coast time, four
o'clock in New York. So watch that. So then I
(02:12):
get a text from friend of the show, Marlins Man.
He said, are you watching the Dodgers Mets game? At
the time, I was not watching the Dodger Mets game,
but he wanted me to watch. I turn it on.
There he was in that beautiful orange Marlins jersey, sitting
right behind home plate at City Field in Queens. So
(02:34):
I took a little photo and I sent it to him.
He was happy about that. But I watched the game
and the Mets suck. I mean, the Dodgers suck right now.
The Mets suck more. It was a suck fest, is
what it was. Dodgers and Mets. Mets had the lead
in Game one until late down night breakdown. Who cares
about a regular season Mets Dodgers doublehead. That's not the story.
(02:54):
The story here is what's happening to the Mets roster.
That's the story. If you didn't see this, the GM,
the person responsible ahead of baseball ops they call it
now somebody named David Sterns used to be a big
shot at Milwaukee. David Sterns not ready, not ready to
declare last rights for the New York Mets, even though
(03:17):
they are a gazillion games behind the Phillies in the
National League East and in terms of talent, they have
no business being in the same conversation even with a
war torn, battlescarred Atlanta brave team or the Doyers as
underachieving they are. But get to the point, please, so
David Sterns, not David Stern. David Stearns says that they
(03:37):
have quote plenty of time. It's premature, premature to start
talking about trades, plenty of time, even though the Mets
have underwhelmed and underperformed so far this season. So let
us discuss the question why, why is the New York
Metropolitans executive David Sterns not ready to declare the Mets
(04:01):
are open for business, that they're sellers. How come he's
not willing to do that. So I've got Google, family guy,
and congregation, and we will combine all of these things
together and we are going to make a zamboni to
re ie the arena. There the ice in the arena,
(04:22):
make a zamboni, will create it from nothing. We'll just
create a name, which is a family name, Zamboni. It's
a family name. So, first of all, to answer the
question what is the Mets executive doing here? He is
attempting to control the narrative. He's trying to control the narratives.
What we're trying to do. This is a use hockey lingo,
a power play, power play. Power play is what it is.
(04:44):
Because if the GM of the Mets comes out and
says we are open for business, we are open for business,
they crank the sign up and all that. Then all
of a sudden, you start getting critiqued. Why haven't you
traded this guy? How come you kept that guy? What's
up with that? You didn't get enough for that player?
Bad job by you, etcetera, etcetera, etc. So if Stearns
(05:09):
says that, then he has to answer questions about it.
So he's instead being methodical. And to that, I say,
police with extra cheese. This is not programming, Google, it
is not. All you have to do is look at
the roster and you get the urge, the urge to purge,
(05:30):
get rid of the roster. You got a bunch of
guys whose hobby is puking in their mouth, and the
ones that don't puke in their mouth on the Mets,
those guys they pitdle down their leg if you know
what I'm saying, My god, So you look at that roster,
is really you say the urge to purge? This is
one guy. This is all about one guy, and it's
(05:53):
the polar Bear. That's it. It's about Peter Alonzo. He's
the big Burley slugger who hasn't been the big Burley
slugger that he's been in years past. And he is
a lame duck. He's a lame duc de Metz and
they don't want to pay him what he thinks he's worth,
and so that means they're not going to resign him,
and they could trade him and get some suspect to
(06:16):
be named later. But you look up and down the roster.
Other than Pete Alonzo. There used to be the store
back in the old days named Kmart. There's only a
few of them left. But at the store Kmart, when
they would put stuff on sale, it's h's blue light special.
So I look at the Mets roster, blue light special.
You've got Luis Severino starting pitcher, Sean Manaia former Oakland A,
(06:37):
among others, Jose Quintana. All those guys can be yours
if the price is right. But wait, there's more Starling Martell.
You want him, you can have him. How about designated
hitter JD. Martinez? Yes, you can have JD. Martinz. There's
a bunch of relievers, and who cares who they are?
You don't know who those guys are. But the point
is you pick a pick apart. It's like a scavenger hunt,
(07:00):
and the Mets are going to trade a bunch of
those guys. But I just say, trade him, now, what
are you waiting for? Because whoever you get, and I
don't know what they're gonna get, but whoever they end
up trading for, who I likely have never heard of,
will provide a little bit of enthusiasm and even if
they suck, at least it's a different kind of suck.
All right now, turning the page, speaking of sucking and
(07:22):
speaking of trades, we are told that the Atlanta Braves,
Tommy's favorite team, the Atlanta Braves. Tommy and Atlanta. His
evil boss will not allow him to call the show,
but he does listen every night religiously while driving his
truck around Atlanta. But the Braves are planning to keep
it in house. When I'm talking about replacing Ronald Lacuna Junior,
(07:43):
the reigning MVP who went Snapcrackle Pop recently, he's out
for the year now, State sponsored MLB Media tells us
that the Atlanta Braves are going to stay internal. It's
another way to say in the house internal. With the
trio Michael Harris the second they've got him, They've got
(08:04):
Adam Duval and Jared Kelnick, who at one point was
the greatest Minor league player of all time. And then
the Mariners got him and that was about it. So
that's what they've got, so buy or sell? Here's the question.
By or sell the Braves standing pat on the Ronald
Lacuno junior injury and not making trade. So I am
(08:25):
going to sell this. I am not going to buy it.
This is what's known as a family guy situation. Now
what does that mean in sports parliamce. It's a family
guy situation. It is a quagmire. A quagmire is visiting
the Atlanta Braves. So I get what they're trying to do.
They're trying to give the opportunity to Michael Harris and
(08:47):
Kelnick and Adam Duval. But inevitably, when those guys stink,
then the Braves and they have another month and a
half to decide this, then they can make some trades.
It's a fluid situation. It's a fluid situation. Now, if
they start leaking, and they probably will, then they can
go on their little shopping spree. And last time the
(09:09):
Braves won the World Series, it was after they went
on a shopping spree. Ronald Coone Junior got hurt. They
picked up a couple of different players and one of
them played like I would say, Pete rose Ty Cobb,
Josh Gibson, I don't know whoever you want in that
nationally championship series now final fuck Angel talk, but not
(09:29):
the Anaheim Angels because they're boring and we can't and
they're not making any trades and all that. But former
MLB umpire country Joe West has chimed in on the
Angel Hernandez story, the forced retirement of Angel Hernandez. Well,
it turns out that Joe West is a massive advocate
(09:53):
for Angel Hernandez. Shocking. He has staunchly defended the encomp
but in stiff of an umpire it just recently announced
his bogus retirement to spend more time with his family.
And as we point out all the time, when someone
who's a public figure says they want to spend more
time with their family, they are lying ninety nine point
(10:17):
nine percent of the time. Liar, liar pants on fire.
All right, So Angel Hernandez, who is a bloody roue,
He's a bloody roux is what he is? Okay? In
this radio interview, here's the quote from Joe West. He said,
whether you want to believe it or not, he meaning
Angel Hernandez was good at it, meaning umpiring Joe West
(10:42):
snickering as you said that. So West underscored that umpires
are not graded based on the electric strike zone box
that you see when you're watching a baseball game on
your whatever device you use to watch the game. And
he says this is a common misconception among fans. So
(11:07):
on this one, how do you classify former umpire Joe
West defending Angel Hernandez. So my first thought is this
is on brand. It is on brand. The quote from
the Bible that iron sharpens iron for that repackaged and
all that, and this one it's heel sharpens heel. Yeah,
(11:31):
you got one baseball heel and another baseball heel. And
I do have mixed emotions on Angel Hernandez, and I
did a monologue about this the other day. But my
position on Angel Hernandez is this is not good for
my job. That I knew going into a baseball season
that I was good at least two or three Angel
(11:51):
Hernandez monologues about him screwing over a batter or a
pitcher or all of the above, blowing a call first phase,
whatever it might be. It's like a grab bag with
Angel Hernandez. He can screw up in every possible way.
So for my job, I'm better off with Angel Hernandez.
I'm better off with Joe West as bad as Joe
(12:14):
West was and getting into arguments with random people in
the game and making it all about Joe West. I'm
around a lot of people that make it all about them.
I did a TV show last year. I hope it
comes back with a guy that made it all about him,
you know, a louding to him. So but a country
Joe West standing right there defending, defending the fraternal Order
(12:41):
of the umpire, Blue Back, the Blue Back, the Blue
and they are all part of the same congregation of
heal umpires as hardly any left. Is C. B. Buckner?
Who's the new worst umpire in baseball? Is it c B. Buckner?
Is he now the worst umpire? Who's the worst of
the worst? I guess I'd have to go to that
nerd site to tracks the umpires. But the Tabernacle of
(13:02):
the Zebra, if you will, they all sing from the
same song sheet, all the umpires. It's the brotherhood of
being an umpire. This is the Ben Mahler Show. If
you would like to be part you can join us here.

of that. But speakeasy rules in effect until then. Time
now for the mallor roatty love to day. And here's
the malor ridden of love the day. The San Antonio
basketball team they have a star named Victor Wembanyama, the
Spurs star center Victor Wembanyana when Manyama waited more than
(14:07):
four years to blank. Again, it was revealed recently that
Spurs star Victor Wembanyama, the Parisian prodigy, waited more than
four years to blank. That is the malor we'll rid
a love today. The answer, We'll get to it, and
we will do it next.

Speaker 1 (32:38):
Ben, all right, double o Mexican in San Diego. Here's
a lot of questions. He wants to know what is
the best way to turn a friend into a girlfriend.
Get out of that friend zone.
Speaker 8 (32:49):
Yeah, it's so hard because you really do want to
build that relationship before you start dating.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
Right.
Speaker 8 (32:54):
It's you say you're supposed to like be with your
best friend, but sometimes you get so into that friend
zone that they don't even see you like that.
Speaker 6 (33:02):
So, like, it's hard.
Speaker 8 (33:04):
It is hard. But my biggest advice for you stay consistent, Okay,
and when you slide in like the oh, hey maybe
we should take this somewhere if she says no, just
stay consistent. Don't be a jerk.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
Stay it's a double Mexicans. Once you get pigeonholed, you're
never getting out of that box. You're true, that's not
that's not always true. That's true.
Speaker 4 (33:28):
Time you got to wait for them to go and jerk,
and then then they get divorced and then they're like, oh,
you know what I should have been with the nice
guy and if you're still around, yeah, then they'll then
they'll come back.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
All right, King Rory, The King Roy says, is it
rude to ask someone if they have a sexually transmitted
disease before sleeping with it?
Speaker 8 (33:53):
Oh my gosh. That should never be seen as rude.
That should be seen as responsible. If you're going to
be responsible during your endeavors, you should ask, and you
should ask to see.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
People they're supposed to tell if they know.
Speaker 8 (34:05):
Right, and everyone knows though a lot of things don't
actually show any signs or symptoms. Oh really yeah, especially
in males.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
Yeah, are you blaming male?
Speaker 6 (34:13):
No?
Speaker 8 (34:13):
No, but it is. It is often males see ghost
symptoms and most of their things. Yes, really yes, So
always ask, always ask, and it should never be shameful.
If they don't want to tell you, you probably shouldn't sleep
with them.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
All right, boys, some of these I don't know that
we want to let's go. Let's go. Now this guy
Rick and Maryland, I know Rix got he's got the
great pipe, so I'm sure he's got a good question.
Hello Rick and Maryland. You're on with Loreina the Queen.
Speaker 9 (34:38):
Of Hearts morning Time on in time, morning time.
Speaker 6 (34:44):
What's en?
Speaker 9 (34:46):
Yes, I have a question? Yes, this is this is
this is a good one. I met this lady. Her
name is April, and so we got to know each other.
So it went to meet a family.
Speaker 6 (34:57):
Okay, I know she was.
Speaker 9 (35:00):
One third of a triplet in April, I mean May
and June. I like June. What should I do?
Speaker 8 (35:08):
Oh my gosh, i'd see if they're all down to
hang out sometime. I'm sure they love to reminisce.
Speaker 6 (35:14):
I don't know if you're.
Speaker 8 (35:15):
Really serious about that, though. See your sister you have
the best connection with. You know, you may like June
the most, but who do you have the best connection with? Like,
Summer's your month?
Speaker 1 (35:27):
Baby? They all look the same. What's the what are you?
All right? Thank you? Thank you? Rick? There he goes.
Rick went in doubt, go with June.
Speaker 8 (35:42):
Summer is a great month, you know?
Speaker 1 (35:44):
Yeah? All right? Donut Kelly our friend Kelly, she writes,
and she says, if something about your significant other is
really annoying but it actually doesn't affect you, do you
just let it go?
Speaker 8 (35:57):
No, Oh my gosh, you have to say something. Those
are those things that build up. It can be something
so minuscule, right, like, oh, you don't take your dishes
to the sink, and then one day you're gonna grab
the dishing or throw it at his head and you're
gonna break it. Wow, because you're just gonna get so frustrated.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
I mean that seems rather drastic.
Speaker 8 (36:14):
You know, if you hold it in, that's what's gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (36:17):
Yeah, well, okay, Like my wife has miss aphonia. You
know what that iss?
Speaker 6 (36:22):
What is that?
Speaker 1 (36:23):
That's like when you chew food like that.
Speaker 8 (36:26):
She doesn't like cheo. Yeah, you do it with your
mouth open like I'm a great chore.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
But she didn't like it. That's her issue. But she
puts music on it while we eat.
Speaker 6 (36:36):
So yeah.
Speaker 8 (36:37):
See my mom used to complain about my dad's chewing
and then they got divorced like a year and a
half later.
Speaker 1 (36:41):
Wow.
Speaker 8 (36:42):
So it's it's kind of a sign that you don't
love them like you should to be honest.
Speaker 1 (36:45):
Anyways, not be over this least is perfectly in the
Ferg Dog's question why he says are all women insane?
It's a great question, ferg Dog. I think that's is
that a rhetorical question you.
Speaker 8 (36:56):
Think, or a rhetorical question. Of course, we're all nuts.
Speaker 1 (36:59):
Yeah, okay, too much? All right, let's go to a
man who has traveled the friendly skies, and I'm sure
he's seen a lot of crazy things in those airplanes.
Our friend Salsa, Hello, Salsa.
Speaker 7 (37:10):
Good evening, Hello the rain up.
Speaker 6 (37:12):
Hello.
Speaker 9 (37:12):
I have a question. I'm a dancer, so when I
go out, I have a lot of people that are
taking pictures of me and send videos to my lady trying.
Speaker 7 (37:21):
To break us up.
Speaker 8 (37:22):
Wait, like a dancer, dancer, like an exotic dancer.
Speaker 7 (37:25):
A Latin dance.
Speaker 6 (37:27):
Oh okay, but.
Speaker 8 (37:28):
They're trying to send pictures to upset her. Yeah, that
seems ridiculous. Are you dancing naked?
Speaker 1 (37:34):
I am not.
Speaker 8 (37:35):
Okay, Well, she probably knows what you're doing. She probably
knows your job.
Speaker 1 (37:39):
Well, it's not as for the airlines's hobby.
Speaker 6 (37:42):
Latin dancing is very sexual. So I imagine that's the problem here, right.
Speaker 7 (37:48):
How do you suggest I handle this?
Speaker 8 (37:50):
I I would say, if she has a problem, invite
her to go with you. And if she doesn't want
to go with you, then she needs a respect that
you have your own.
Speaker 9 (37:56):
You know, we do go all the time.
Speaker 8 (37:59):
Oh see that, shake your hips with her?
Speaker 1 (38:01):
But make sure she's jealous. The other women are looking
at your saucer, right, You're like the male shakira, and
everyone look at your hips.
Speaker 6 (38:08):
Your wife should be envious.
Speaker 8 (38:10):
She should be like, wow, my husband's that good? All
these women trying to break us up? Being sexy and
dance your butt off. Okay, that's all we can do
in this life.
Speaker 1 (38:21):
Thank you the Great Salsa. Am surized you didn't call
up when the matterags meet the clippers. I thought you
would call up anyway. There it is the Queen of
Hearts with the radar
