Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our dumber three as we try
to put food on the table here on the Original
Recipe Podcast. If you want the Extra Crusy, Extra Crunchy,
Extra Spicy podcast, you'll have to tune in to the
Weekend Fifth Hour podcast. But this is the Original Recipe Podcast.
As we are joined together and in our number three,

(00:21):
we begin with this in light of Walker Bueller's latest injury.
Do the Dodgers have a pitching management problem? Buehler went
back on the injured list? Also, where are you at
on Flatty Guerrero's dramatic hairstyle change, as it's pretty much

(00:42):
all gone? And we'll pivot over to the tabloids. We'll
build Belichick's very public tabloid relationship with the young lady
who's the age of what should be his granddaughter. Will
that impact his chances of coaching again? In the we
discuss all of those things and more. Right now here,

(01:03):
it is our number three. They're known as the Big
Blue Wrecking Crew, but it turns out they're wrecking their
own players or are they well gome In the beginning
of another hour of the Ben Malor Show, as we

(01:24):
are in the air everywhere wagging our tongues as we
sell takes by the dozen, coast to coast, border the
order and beyond on the mast and resoundingly powerful microphones
of fsre emminating live from the pen, the Bullpen, as

(01:47):
we are slinging bull every hour we're broadcasting live the
ti raq dot com studios tyraq dot com. We'll help
you get there in unmatched selection, fast shipping, free road
hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended his stars. Lenny,

(02:09):
who sends a lot of comments while I'm sleeping, likes
that tire rack dot com the way tire buying should
be our lead this hour from the infirmary, and you
can pile on another name. The biggest baddest team in baseball,
not record wise, that's the Phillies, or the Yankees or
the Orioles, but the team that has the most cachet

(02:33):
in baseball has suffered yet another setback. If you have
not heard, maybe not, the rumor of yesterday is today's news.
As normally happens, today's rumors tomorrow's news. The Doyers not
only lost to the Rockies, which is embarrassing, but they
also lost starter Walker Buehler.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
Buehler Buehler.

Speaker 1 (02:55):
Walker Buehler was placed on the injured list. We used
to call this disabled list the phantom hip injury. Wink, wink, nod, nod.
I'm sure his hips really messed up. His comeback season
is now on time out. It's on layaway. Manager Dave Roberts.
I liked him in that spot. I really liked him

(03:15):
in amach. Dave Roberts said. Walker Bueler is quote still
in search mode as he comes back from the second
Tommy John surgery, which is normally a death sentence if
you're a pitcher, you just don't come back from that.
And the Dodgers have a lot of guys with their
second Tommy johns. In fact, show Hey Otani, when he
comes back and pitches, it will be after his second

(03:37):
Tommy John surgery. There's no timetable on Walker Buehler's return,
and it got me thinking. You got me thinking. So
let's discuss the question here is, in light of Walker
Buehler's latest injury, do the Dodgers have a pitching management problem?
So I've got graffiti, Edward, scissors, hands and Delilah, and

(04:00):
we'll combine all of these things together and we are
going to make the greatest thing to come out of
Canada poutine. That's what we're gonna make.

Speaker 3 (04:10):
Now.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
First of all, you've got the micro and you have
the macro. Short term, he said, it's a minor thing.
The Dodgers trying to make it seem like everything'll be okay.
Walker Buhler has been a cocktail of bleach. So far
since he came back from injury. Under any reasonable measurement,

(04:31):
he has been terrible. Eight starts, an er ballooning around six.
The league is hitting almost four hundred against Walker Buehler
three eighty nine. And if you look at the big picture, though,
so that's the short term, short terms, he's not good.
Now they see he'll be okay, But the big picture,
you gotta look at the graffiti on the wall. Walker

(04:52):
Buehler's issue is symbolic for the underlying condition. There's an illness,
there's a play that is affecting the Dodgers, and for
all of the brains and all the resumes that they
love to pump up. And this guy went to this
Ivy League school. This guy went to that school, and
I got the smartest guy in the room and their

(05:13):
geniuses and they figured everything else everything else out. The
Dodgers love to tell you how smart their executives are,
but they don't like to talk about the Komodo dragon
in the room.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
There's a glitch in the big Blue matrix.

Speaker 1 (05:29):
Years and years of Dodgers successful baseball, making the playoffs,
they have absolutely dominated postseason played. They're the modern day
Atlanta Braves. The Atlanta Braves thirty years ago made the
playoffs every year they won a World Series. Dodgers make
the playoffs ever year they won a World series. Hardest
World Series of all time, by the way, in twenty
twenty during a global pandemic. But that aside. The Dodgers

(05:50):
under the Andrew Friedman regime have coddled and babied pitchers.
They have nursed them along and spoiler Alerte Tyler alert.
The results have been a masculating at what point do
you say what we're doing is not working? That Dodger
pitchers end up being placed in a meat grinder despite

(06:12):
having inning limits, pitch limits, limits on everything they've got.
The guardrails up, the training wheels on, and yet it
happens again and again. Walker Buehler is now one of
nine nine Dodger pitchers who have major issues, not all.

(06:32):
Tommy John as Yoshinobu Yamabuto has a strained rotator cuff.
Clayton Kershaw had a shoulder operation, not Tommy John. Dustin
May had a flexor tendon issue. Tony Gonsolin and Emmit
Shean also had Tommy John. And there's several others we
don't have time to name. And the one common denominator

(06:56):
the Dodgers handling of pitchers. So it is a aropriate
that Tommy John had that medical procedure as a Dodger
all right. Now. Secondly, we go to Canada, OH COAA Toronto,
not Edmonton Toronto. The Blue Jays are trash. They are horrible.

(07:21):
Watch some of the game last night they were playing
the Boston Red Sox and the Red Sox won that game. Five.
Red Sox are playing a little better the last couple
of weeks, but the story series about bue Jes get
to the point. So the Blue Jays are a bad team. However,
they are making fashion headlines here. If you did not

(07:42):
see this, maybe maybe you missed it, didn't hear about it.
A dramatic new look for one of their headline players.
Where are you at on Vlatty Guerrero's dramatic hairstyle change,
as in Buzz Buzz Buzz Buzz buzz cut cut cut,

(08:02):
cut cut, The famous locks of Vladdie Guerrero have vanished.

Speaker 2 (08:10):
So it's his hair, it's not mine. But keep in
mind though.

Speaker 1 (08:14):
There are some people freaking out, like the baseball hard os,
I can't believe he did it.

Speaker 2 (08:18):
He's not Samson. His hair is clearly not his superpower.

Speaker 1 (08:23):
Vladdie is on pace to hit all of fifteen home
runs this season. Now, I didn't play major league baseball.
That doesn't seem very good to me. And this is
going to do damage to his Q rating. People know
that Vladdie had a look that signature hair looked like

(08:43):
Side Show Bob when he was running around the bases
with his hair and helmet would come off and his
hair was flying everywhere. And now he visited with Edward
scissors hands and he'd chopped.

Speaker 2 (08:56):
Almost all of it off.

Speaker 1 (08:57):
He's not bald, but it's you can call it his
summer cut.

Speaker 2 (09:01):
Yeah, it's his summer.

Speaker 1 (09:02):
It's hot, right, it's hot in Toronto, it's hot everywhere
right now, it's getting warm. Why not heat dome summer cut. Now,
why did he do it? Laddie told Blue Jays TV.
You get this kind of information from watching the Toronto
blue Jay's feet. Vladdie told the TV reporter for the
blue Jays, Hazel May, that he promised himself once he

(09:23):
was in the big league's five years the five year
itch for Vladdy gerrisaid after five years, he would mark
the occasion by cutting his Here. He also pointed out
his daughter, who threw out the first pitch at the
Blue Jay game last night, had also been bugging him
to cut his heir. So that's why, well he did it.
It's easier maintenance. It's easier just buy a bunch of

(09:45):
hash That's what I do, all right. Final thought to
the tabloids, we go, oh yeah, oh yeah.

Speaker 2 (09:52):
Now if you had the hoodie.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
As a headliner on the gossip sides as clickbait, you
are a winner. Time Now for what surely will become
our obligatory Mallard monologue about the stylings of Bill Belichick
and his love life playing footsie with a co ed
just out of college now. Bill Belichick was spotted in

(10:18):
Nantucket this week with his twenty four year old sugar
baby I think that's the through right. Belichick's the sugar
daddy and she's the sugar baby. Belichick's seventy something years old. Now,
they were heading for some fun in the summer sun
and they were riding around on Bill Belichick's two hundred
thousand dollars boat. Belichick and the woman named Jordan Hudson

(10:44):
were seen in public for the first time since their
relationship hit the tabloids, and that led to, of course,
breathless coverage. They were paying big money for those photos. Now,
will Bill Bellich, Let's get down to the football part
of it. Will Bill Belichick's very public tabloid relationship impact
his chances of coaching again in the NFL.

Speaker 2 (11:08):
So I'm gonna answer.

Speaker 1 (11:09):
This by nodding my head. Yes, I actually think this
is a variable and unexpected variable that you have to consider.
And while it wouldn't affect me if I own an
NFL team, knowing what I know about the NFL hierarchy,
the oligarchy of the NFL owners, there's a lot of
righteous aholes that own NFL teams, that think they are

(11:32):
better than everyone else, and they live on the straight
and narrow, they walk the line, and so you can
eliminate those owners because they will exterminate Bill Belichick from
any future business relationship. So if you start that right there,
and the way I said, this is a consenting adult
who cares, but it doesn't change the fact that perception

(11:56):
is reality, and the perception is that Bill Belichick for
those hardline owners, that Bill Belichick is now morally bankrupt.

Speaker 2 (12:05):
He's dating someone young enough to be his granddaughter.

Speaker 1 (12:08):
Plus you have the classic distraction reaction is this And
actually thought about this a little bit more when I
saw the timeline and some of the parts of this
that we were unaware of. Of course, hindsight being what
it is, is this what's known as the Delilah effect.
That Delilah effect is that what's in play here did

(12:31):
a femme fatale lead to the demise of Bill Belichick
and his coaching greatness if you follow the clues, If
my timeline is right as I understand it, bill Belichick
started stooping the young lady. Before the twenty twenty three

(12:52):
NFL season, The Patriots played seventeen games and won four
the worst season of Bill Belichick's run in New England,
and not even close, not even close. And that happened
right around the time he started canoodling and playing footsie

(13:13):
with his new lady friend. But wait, there's more. The
New York Post says that viral shirtless ring doorbell footage
of Bill Belichick, remember that I was How could you
forget it if you saw it or heard about it?
Bill Belichick doing the walk of shame out of someone's house. Well,

(13:34):
now we're hearing that he was leaving the girl's house,
the twenty four year old house. Now the part of
that that's surprising to me is if that was her
ring doorbell camera, and assuming she had her own places,
wouldn't she be the only one that has access to that?
So would that mean that she sent the video to

(13:56):
someone else and then they sent it out to whoever
put it on the internet, And wouldn't If that's true,
wouldn't that cause Belichick to think maybe I should break
up with her now? Also, some are saying that the
reason Bill Belichick opted to attend the cheerleading competition was
because he's sleeping with a cheerleader instead of the combine.

(14:19):
People thought Belichick was going to show up with the
combine anyway to try to campaign and network and keep
connections open. To get his next job, he chose to
go to some national cheerleading competition instead. Things that make
you ponder what reality is? This is reality to some.

out to my Texas A and M. Maggie's for being

Speaker 1 (22:18):

morning show.

Speaker 3 (22:21):
Well, it sounds like it just happened.

Speaker 1 (22:24):
No, we dumped it. Nobody heard that.

Speaker 7 (22:29):
I think my dump button's broken.

Speaker 1 (22:31):
Ben, That's what I'm hearing from an earlier hour, Lorena,
that all right might not be working. I don't know
what that's all about. So Texas A and M.

Speaker 2 (22:40):
Are you sending checks to Texas A and M Jack?

Speaker 1 (22:45):
Yeah, so you're paying off Jimbo Fisher's contract.

Speaker 3 (22:50):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (22:51):
Oh are you Sliced Bread Jack? Is your nickname Sliced Bread?

Speaker 3 (22:57):

No, do you know what I'm talking about When I
say sliced bread? You do? Oh my god? All right, Lorena,
see if you can find I don't know if she
can find it.

Speaker 2 (23:10):
It's before she was here. But Jimbo, you know, how
do you not remember?

Speaker 1 (23:14):
Jimbo Fisher was coaching at a M and he got
very upset with a guy on bro Bible who went
by the name Sliced bread. And he went on this
minutes long rant Jimbo Fisher, and he kept saying sliced bread.
And it was hilarious. It was just it was just wonderful.

(23:35):
All right, let's see if all right, let's play a
little bit. Let's seef we have it. Here was a
slice bread. Let me find out where it comes from. Yeah,
that that's a little taste of it. That's what we
got writers who have said it and done it off.
Slice bread. Oh yeah, Jimbo got the Manty Williams contractor.

Speaker 3 (23:58):
Right.

Speaker 2 (23:59):
Actually, I think that is more.

Speaker 1 (24:04):
Yeah, I think he got more Jimbo Fisher than Anty.

Speaker 3 (24:08):
Yeah, I got more than anybody. He probably getting paid
more than not coaching anybody is to coach.

Well, Manti Williams got sixty million. Yeah, jim O. Fisher
got seventy six million in the out from Texas A
And m wow, that's wild. All right, Jack, be safe, Jack,

That's right, Hey, Dave, I want you. I want you

Speaker 4 (25:45):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.

Speaker 6 (25:51):
And now it's time for a Ben Mallard fun Factor.

Speaker 1 (25:56):
Fun fact. No, here's the fun fact. The all time record,
let's see, if mister hockey knows, is the record for
most points in a single playoff run. Who has that record?

Speaker 6 (26:08):
Eddie obviously you're talking about player, not.

Speaker 1 (26:11):
Player, not a team, a player by most points by
a single player in a single playoff run.

Speaker 6 (26:16):
In a single series, or in.

Speaker 1 (26:18):
A tire postseason.

Speaker 6 (26:20):
I'll say, Mario.

Speaker 1 (26:21):
Lemew, that is incorrect. It is it is Wayne Gretzky.

Speaker 6 (26:25):
Yeah, it seemed like that was the obvious.

Speaker 1 (26:27):
That's the obviously to go here. But here's the thing. Yeah,
all right, that happened in nineteen eighty four eighty five.
That playoff run for Wayne Gretzky had forty seven points.
Connor McDavid of our Edmonton oil is not yours, my
Edmonton Oils me and Fergy's Edmondon OLiS. Connor McDavid is
sitting at forty two points. He's got eight points the
last two games and the Oilers are gonna win Game

(26:50):
six on Friday. There'll be a game seven, so he
needs five points to tie, six points over the next
two games, and he will have the single playoff run
record for most points. And Eddie Garcias picked against him.
That that's a fun fact, Eddie, that's a fun fact.

Speaker 6 (27:10):
Yeah, he's not gonna do it.

Speaker 1 (27:11):
He's gonna do it.

Speaker 2 (27:13):
He's going to do it. He's doing it. He is
doing it.

Speaker 1 (27:18):
You've upset Art Puffin. Lorena. Art Puffin says, you take
that back, Lorena being a culinary heep myself, I resent
that last remark about men not knowing how to cook.
Cook off, let's get it on.

Speaker 7 (27:31):
Prove me wrong, baby berg dog.

Speaker 1 (27:34):
Right, since says, how does Dave from New York, Upstate
New York get on the air? He keeps getting past
the call screener. Isn't it Coop's job to filter out
the drunks?

Speaker 6 (27:45):
Well he did that. We have virtually no calling.

Speaker 1 (27:53):
King Roy says, you might want to tell Lorena apparently
these men can cook. And then he's got he's got
Wolf game Puck, Gordon Ramsey, Bobby Flay, Guy Fieri.

Speaker 6 (28:04):
Yeah, take that, Lorena in your face.

Speaker 7 (28:07):
Your face don't count.

Speaker 1 (28:08):
Just got dunked on Emerald Legassi and me. I was
how about this, Eddie. That's the first time ever I've
been included in the list with Gordon Ramsey, Guy Fieri,
Emerald Legassi.

Speaker 7 (28:19):
I want to point out those are those are chefs.

Speaker 9 (28:22):
Okay, that's not some regular regular guy who holds a ball.

Speaker 1 (28:25):
All they started out, they started out, No.

Speaker 2 (28:28):
You didn't, you didn't met in general though that was
the It was men.

Speaker 1 (28:32):
I didn't say chefs said you should have said you
should have said meat head athletes.

Speaker 7 (28:36):
No, I met men in general, not chefs. Men in
general that including us.

Speaker 1 (28:41):
I think, Yes, how about Anthony Bourdain? I know he
killed himself, but Anthony Bourden was great. I love this
TV show. He was a great chef. He was.

Speaker 2 (28:50):
I never ate any food it looked good on TV.

Speaker 7 (28:53):
I would love a chef on a guy who could
actually cook.

Speaker 6 (28:58):
Then you just eat like two bites though, and then
the rest of it. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (29:02):
Well, as you know, Eddie, when you go to those
high end restaurants, they give you those plates and there's
like two bites.

Speaker 7 (29:06):
I love tapas like little I hate I hate that.
I hate that taste of everything.

Speaker 2 (29:14):
That give me a truck stop sized meal.

Speaker 1 (29:18):
I want. It's like, we have a fast ree place
here in La Tommy's. You go to Tommy's. Actually, you know,
I guess you better forget Tommy's. They give you a
lot of food, but what's that pastrami place? They give
you like a bad hat, the hat, Yeah, the hat
gives you a bag of fries.

Speaker 2 (29:33):
I've never been you've never been.

Speaker 1 (29:35):
To the Oh my God, you live in l A.
You've never been to the hat. You got to go.

Speaker 7 (29:39):
A transplant, don't forget.

Speaker 1 (29:40):
Oh that's true.

Speaker 2 (29:41):
But I'm telling you, if you like pastrami and they
give me a bag of un.

Speaker 1 (29:47):
If you if you're going for quantity, now it's the
quality is not terrible, but it's amazing quantity. So I
remember that trickle, Lorraine. If you want extra food, what
you've got to do is you've got to pretend like
you're a vlogger and you're gonna post it on social
media and then they'll give you more food.

Speaker 7 (30:05):
Oh yeah, well I always have my phone out.

Speaker 1 (30:06):
Yeah, you record everything and then they give you bigger
portions of food. And it is the Ben Mahlor Show.

to know if you could steal anyone's talent for one day,
who would you take?

Speaker 7 (31:34):
Whose would you take?

Speaker 1 (31:35):
Warren Buffett? How about that? Warren Buffett? His ability to
make money on the stock market is insane to the membrane.
And maybe not just him. There's others that probably made
more money than him. But somebody like that that has
great financial savviness. What about you?

Speaker 6 (31:49):
Eddie, that is a great question. I'm surprised though. I
guess that was kind of a predictable answer by you.
But I'm surprised being.

Speaker 6 (33:10):
People, Anthony wants to be able to dunk, throw down
some monster.

Speaker 7 (33:14):
Gems, kill it on stage and look awesome. Well, see,
I thought about it.

Speaker 10 (33:19):
I thought about a rock star, because you know, rock
stars live wild lives. But and but I've just I've
always wanted to be able to throw down a vicious dunk.
And you know, if and if you can also be
one of the you know, top talents in the NBA, why.

Speaker 1 (33:32):
Not, I'll buy you a trampoline hoop. You can dunk
whatever you want.

Speaker 7 (33:35):
It's not the same thick and dreams come true.

Speaker 1 (33:38):

ask Ben. Your questions are answers for the rest of
the hour.

Speaker 7 (33:48):
The art of sports talk, my art of sports talk.

Speaker 10 (33:54):
Do you have a certain hotel chain that you stay
at when you're on the road.

Speaker 2 (33:58):
Yes, the cheapest one I can get.

Speaker 1 (34:00):
Actually, lately, I've been saying we've been staying at more
airbnb type places, so we we've actually left a lot
of the hotels behind and stayed more at Airbnb places.
So but yeah, whatever's cheaper, and we usually what we
do is all we'll go on the road and we'll
do the crush. The numbers are like what's cheaper hotel
or Airbnb, and usually the Airbnb or one of those

(34:21):
type places is cheaper.

What about you, Eddie.

Speaker 6 (34:24):

itinerary and all that kind of stuff, So you just
have to show up, yeah, pretty much.

Speaker 1 (34:31):
Okay.

her part. So usually we usually stay at prairiy nice places.

the Chargers are staying. It's right across the street from
the where the Penguins play. It's very nice. All right.

and you'll travel somewhere and just sleep in your car
in my car.

Sometimes you just need a good three hour nap sometimes.

Speaker 1 (35:32):
You know, sound like Doc, Remember Doc Mike Eddie told
the story he drove from Chicago to Nashville and he
stopped early, pull over the side of the road and
sleep for like like five minutes and then get back
on the road.

Speaker 7 (35:43):
Yeah, sometimes you don't need a full break.

woke back up. It's terrible.

Speaker 1 (35:50):

a hotel room. What is coop? Go ahead?

individual to eat trip. Unless I'm going to Vegas and
then I stay in an MGM property.

Speaker 1 (36:11):

years ago and I did the Dodger stuff, the baseball riders.
They always stay at the same hotels and at the time,
I don't know if this is true still true. Bob Ryan,
longtime Boston sports writer. He retired years ago, but Bob
Ryan had the most Barriott points of anyone in the
history of the country because he only stayed at Marriott

Speaker 10 (36:37):
Hi Rory would like to know how often do you
use your car horn while driving?

Speaker 1 (36:43):
Well, I had a car for a while that had
like a clown sounding horn, so I was embarrassed to
use it, so I wouldn't use. The car I'm driving
now has a pretty masculine horn. But normally what I
do is I don't use the horn. I just give
the under the dashboard bird is my move. I feel
good about that.

Speaker 2 (37:01):
I feel like and no one shoots you exactly, but.

Speaker 1 (37:04):
I feel good. Sometimes I'll even take both hands off
the steering wheel and give you the double bird, but
you won't even see it. I don't. That was what
it did sound like. But I don't use the horn
very often, Eddie.

Speaker 6 (37:16):
Almost never. If I ever blow my horn at you,
you know you've done something really bad.

Speaker 1 (37:21):
You're going to time out right now.

Speaker 6 (37:23):
My wife uses the horn often way.

Speaker 7 (37:24):
Off them same same.

Speaker 9 (37:26):
I only use it if someone like cuts me off
or if they almost hit me.

Speaker 10 (37:30):
Well, that happens every day, Kuperlo rarely ever, And if
I do, it's usually like if somebody's asleep at the
red light, I just a quick little like, hey, wake up,
don't or at the green light.

Speaker 9 (37:41):
I mean say, that's so casually, like you just see yeah, yeah, yeah.

or another. Eddie sunglasses, Lorena.
