Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our nu birth three. As we
learned the hard way, talking bays ball. Yeah, start out
with the Atlanta Briers. Now, the Atlanta Braves did not
play last night on Tuesday. They were rained out, but
they didn't make news anyway. How meaningful is it that

(00:20):
the Ronald Lacuno Junior Atlanta Braves had a player's only
meeting prior to their game that was postponed against the Reds.
We'll examine that. Also, what are the chances the A's
trade closer Mason Miller before the deadline which is less
than a week away the trade deadline? And Tampa's Taylor
Walls says, you know what, that celebratory jester was not

(00:42):
intended as an endorsement for Donald Trump. He did the
Trump move fight Fight Fight? Does that work for you?
Did Taylor Walls explanation work for you? We'll get to that.
And also we have a Lorena with the Queen of
Hearts and who knows what right now here it is
our number three, a Bravo Sierra situation for the Bravos.

(01:09):
Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben
Mather Show. We are in the air everywhere like roommates
as we battle the relentless pursuit of perfection coast to coast, border,
the border, and beyond on the vast and overwhelmingly powerful

(01:32):
microphones of fs are emmating live from the slinger as
we are just cheap talk slingers under the cover of darkness.
We're broadcasting live from the tyraq dot com studios tyract
dot com. We'll help you get there and unmatched selection, fast,
free shipping, free road hazard protection over ten thousand recommended

(01:55):
in stallars tyract dot com. The way tire buying should
be Spacola, who lives in Chappa Hill send me an email,
and he thanked me for fighting back against the machine
Eddie Garcia and all of his cheating ways there. So
you're welcome, Spaccoli, and I do appreciate the fact that
you had to stand outside on a cold night with
donuts and these other guys would not let you in.

(02:18):
Now Loreno was not here, so she has a pass.
But Iowa Sam could not handle you. But we thank
you anyway. Our lead this hour from below the Mason
Dixon line. They have Atlanta knives are unraveling in front
of your eyes. Say what Yeah, so injuries have wrecked

(02:38):
havoc on the team that plays in Georgia. It's all
over the roster. It's not just the pitching, although some
would say that Strider is the biggest name out, but
there's other guys on the pitching staff that have had issues.
Every every regular position player either has been heard or
most of these guys are not up to the expectations.

(03:02):
Many of them have been incapacitated. So it's a mess,
right and now things have been cranked up a few notches.
So you didn't hear about this, You might have missed it,
perhaps you were not paying attention. We are told that
the Atlanta Braave players, writing a three game losing streak
heading into Tuesday night, held a player's only meeting, the

(03:24):
dreaded players only meeting. Did that before the game against
the Reds as they try to figure things out. Now.
Manager Brian Snicker was not was not part of that
it's players only meeting. He has been the Skipper's been
part of the dugout there in Atlanta and since twenty sixteen.
While the time is adding up. So we are told

(03:46):
that this is highly unusual for the Atlanta baseball team.
They don't normally do this kind of stuff, but they
did it here. Now, the game was Cincinnati ended up
being postponed by weather and so they didn't play it.
So we don't know if team meeting work or not.
But let us discuss how meaningful is it. How meaningful
is it that the Ronald Lacuna Junior Atlanta Breve players

(04:09):
had a players only meeting players only meeting. So I've
got Button, water Boy and Cajones and we will combine
all of these things together and we're going to send
you out to the hebgb's is what we're going to do,
which is where the Atlanta Braves are in danger of
going if they continue to play this way now right now,
they're a playoff team. However, however, this story here right

(04:33):
the team meeting. On the surface, you say, well, it's
a burger. It's not a double cheeseburger, it's not a
single cheeseburger. It's a nothing burger, is what it is.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
Right.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
These stories pop up regularly. You do a job like
this where you do gas baggery about professional sports, mostly
professional sports. You come in here and you do the
show five days a week for many many years, and
you have these type of stories not. My default position
is always the same. And the reason I have I
have this default position is because I was around in

(05:03):
the locker rooms quite a bit as a reporter, and
I talked to these guys off the record, and I
don't think anything's changed. I don't think like the modern
athlete is any different than the old athlete. I think,
in general, my theory has always been at these jobs,
people hate meetings. I know, working in radio, when we
have meetings, we all get together before and say, okay,
nobody ask any questions, Let's just get the meeting over with.

(05:25):
And there's always that one schmuck that asks a lot
of questions. There's that one guy that uses paining ass
a kiss ass, but any bit. I have friends that
you know, I went to school with I still talk
to occasionally, not many of them, but regular jobs they
hate meetings also, So why would it be any different
in professional sports? It wouldn't. So I'm gonna give you

(05:45):
a sermon here. Okay, player only meetings, so we're talking
in sports, players only meetings are a staple. It's a
right of passage on every losing team, and they have
remained a timeless tradition in professional sports. When you do that,
you have your finger on the button, the panic button.
You have your finger on the panic button. Now the

(06:07):
Atlanta Braves, Wow, what are you talking about, Ben? They're
a playoff team. Okay, that's true. The Braves right now
are one of the wildcard teams. I think they're in
the number one position. What if I told you the
Braves have been playing baseball since late March. They've had
four good weeks of baseball all season. What if I
told you that? Which all you're crazy? You know what
you're talking about. Look at the record. Okay, let's look
at the record. What is my evidence? I'll give you

(06:28):
my advers So the Braves over their first month and
a half, My first month, they played twenty eight games.
The first twenty eight games, there were nineteen and nine,
ten games above five hundred. That was back in April.
You know what the Braves record is. Since then, they've
played seventy one games, almost half the season. Since that

(06:49):
first twenty eight, the Braves are under five hundred. The
Atlanta Braves I have been losing record. Over the last
seventy one games. They're thirty five and thirty six. Now,
you said, well, that's close to five and okay, that's mediocre.
Do you celebrate mediocret? And maybe you do. Maybe you're
a loser, you celebrate mediocret. But that's a bad sign.
All of this is a bad sign for the future

(07:10):
of Brian Snicker, the manager here, because player gathering, players
getting together and sitting around the campfire on their own.
What ends up happening is there's a few people that
have an axe to grind and they end up airing
grievances and that creates clicks in the locker room, which

(07:31):
creates another problem, and it's an hour long game of
playing the blame game is what it is here. It's
a waste of time. And the main reason is a
waste of time is not just because people don't like meetings.
It's the fact that when you're in that ecosystem, when
you're in that world, all you have is player only meetings,
right all you have players meet with themselves all the

(07:55):
time on planes, trains, and automobiles. During baseball games, they're
together in the dugout for half the game and they're
hanging around and they're in the locker room. Before the game.
You've got the batting practice, which is pretty much stand around.
One guy's hitting, everyone else is standing around scratching their nuts.
That's pretty much what happens, right, And they have meals

(08:16):
together the whole thing. So from March to October, the
Atlanta Braves spend more time together with each other than
they do their families. And that's the way it's always
been in every professional sport during the season. But they
have to have a special players only meeting. Now that's
like just that's for the media, it's for the fans. Oh,
we're trying, we're trying to do something. Look at us.
It's one of those look at us situations all right. Now. Secondly,

(08:39):
the trade deadline is now less than a week away.
Hell Alujah, hell alujah. Baseball's trade deadline coming up. What
are the chances? What are the chances the Athletics. We're
stuck in Nomad's land. The Athletics trade closer Mason Miller,
the phenom that throws one hundred seventy miles an hour.

(09:01):
So it seems what are the chances of the A's
trade Mason Miller before the deadline? So Maler sportsbook odds
on this. I'm gonna set the odds at plus actually
minus minus one fifty minus one fifty. Now, that implies
a roughly sixty five percent chance, so I'm gonna be
positive that this is more likely to happen. That still
leaves a forty five percent chance it will not happen.

(09:23):
But here's why. The Athletics, I think you already know this.
That franchise right now is following the teachings of Rob
Schneider's character from Waterboy. Oh No, we suck again. That's
the Athletics now, rather than Sacramento, where they're headed. Supposedly,
they won't say the word Sacramento. That's taboo. It's been canceled,

(09:45):
but they should move to Suckville because that's where they
really are. They are trying to threat a needle, and
everyone knows this. It's an open secret. The Athletics are
not trying to win this year. They don't want to
win in twenty twenty five. They don't want to win
in twenty twenty six or twenty twenty seven, twenty twenty eight,
and maybe twenty twenty nine, because who knows if that
stadium is ever gonna get done in time. There's always delays,

(10:07):
and so that's it. The A's are trying to be
miserable until they want to feel the competitive team again
when they move to Nevada, assuming that actually does happen.
So by that time, Mason Miller will be demanding big money,
big money, big money, big money, no way, may stop.
And are the Las vegas As going to want to

(10:28):
pay him that money or would they rather just get
a bunch of lottery tickets from the Orioles or the
Yankees of the Dodgers and press their luck and see
what they can do. All right, So again it's more
likely than not that Mason Miller will be pitching in Baltimore,
New York or Los Angeles soon enough. All right, final thought,

(10:50):
We go to Tampa. Mallor follow up? Mallor follow up.
We talked about the story in a previous episode of
the show. I wanted to follow up on it. Over
the week, a number of baseball players were doing the
Trump They were doing the Donald Trump celebration, and we
talked about the Cardinals in the previous episode and what
they had to say. They claimed that they were not

(11:11):
there was nothing to do with Donald Trump. So the
media approached Taylor Walls. Is his name, Taylor Walls. He's
a shortstop. You probably didn't know that because he would
watch Tampa Bay baseball. But Taylor Walls of the Tampa
Bay Rays, and he was asked about this. The Rays
were in Toronto, and Taylor Walls, the shortstop for the Rays,
said that his celebratory gesture was not intended as an

(11:36):
endorsement of President Trump. However, that's exactly what he was doing.
He said, yeah, that's what I was doing. Does that
work for you? Does that way? So this is a
bit of the charm offense from the shortstop of the
Tampa Bay baseball team. He pacified many of the Trump
hating baseball media while confirming that indeed he did what

(12:01):
we thought he did, right, We're not losing our minds here,
and he confirmed he you know, when he pumped his
fist in the air and said fight, fight, fight after
hitting a double, he was mimicking President Trump after the
bullet hit his ear during the campaign event the assassination
attempted in Pennsylvania. So to that, while he downplayed it

(12:24):
later saying I'm not endorsing Trump for the White House,
he did admit that's exactly what he's doing. So to that,
I say, hellelujah, hell alujah. That's what I say, right,
because at least Walls has bigger kahones. Right, He's got
the biggest cojones in the block. Unlike those Weasley Cardinals
right who claimed it was a rap tribute, they were

(12:44):
gas lighting everyone. It was so pathetic, it was so pathetic, right.
That is much closer to the truth than what Chris
Carpenter and the Cardinals were spewing. Right, much like the
Eagles creon back in the day. You can't hide your
lying eyes. Saint Louis card now, so no gas lighting.
Good job by him. He did sugarcoat of the bit

(13:05):
the raise shortstop, but I'll take that. I'd rather have
that than what happened with the Cardinals. All right, is

We go to the great Unwashed. Art Puffins says Michael
Jordan was serenaded with a bullhorn wall on a cruise.
Blah blah blah blah blah. Who else do we have

(19:19):
Do you have an answer?

Speaker 3 (19:20):
Larrain?

Speaker 1 (19:20):
I'm gonna ask you Lray, do you have an answer?
Michael Jordan was serenaded with blank with blank as he
was on a luxurious European vacation on the French Riviera.
Fainting goats, Ben, fainting goats. That's a good guess. No,
that is incorrect. Jordan was dining at a ritzy restaurant

(19:41):
in the south of France and was serenaded with his
infamous interest song. You remember the Bulls song when they
would come out there, the Alan Parsons Project, I think
it was called Sirius. Can you look that up, Lorena
or Eddie. You can look it up because it's the
Alan Parsons Project. They used to play this. It was
the Chicago Bulls theme song. And so Jordan was dining

(20:03):
with some friends and a saxophonist that song slaps. It's
a good song, right, solid song, and it was associated
so much with the Bulls. Nobody really played it other
than the Chicago Bulls. And Jordan was smiling and all that.
People stood up and started clapping, and so, yeah, it's
a famous tune. You mean, if you of a certain age,

(20:23):
you don't know what that is because that's a long
time the bulls. It's been almost thirty years since the
Chicago Bulls were a thing. Oh yeah, that's it right here.
A six six guard from North Carolina, Michael. Did I

(20:48):
play the game Eddie, Central, Arkansas?

Speaker 2 (20:53):
Number thirty three?

Speaker 5 (20:55):
Scody, you want to play the game of raina?

Speaker 6 (21:03):
No, yeah, let's do it all right, go ahead, coming
in from the right corner. No, I love oh No
number twenty seven?

Speaker 1 (21:18):
No, right, gum, Yes, an actual bull, an actual bull
running into the court right now, a real bull. You
want to play? You want to play?

Speaker 3 (21:30):
Coop?

Speaker 1 (21:31):
Now, it's a fun game. I tried to whisper Horace
Grant and she hurt. Forrest, Gum. That could have that
could have run a different direction, also, Coop, I could
have gone another direction, But there it is, he said Forrest, Alright,
I like that and so Forrest Gump was a better

(21:53):
guess anyway. Yeah, solid, solid guess. And of course, because
everything's recorded, there's video of Jordan's smiling being serenaded eating
a a what a great life? How old is Jordan?
He's he's sixty Now, he's in his sixties, I think
Jordan something like that. Yeah, he's been around for a while.
He's got probably another twenty twenty five years, assuming nothing

(22:13):
goes a sideways to enjoy his life. I won Let's
go sixty one sixty one. All right, let's go to
the phones and we'll say hello, a man cashing a
golden ticket. We say hello to Ferd Dog, Hello, got
a golden TiCats.

Speaker 7 (22:27):
I think I finally learned my lesson, Ben, Yeah, what's that?
So I'll explain. Yeah, two years ago I was going
to break a world record for the Talent Show, but
I never got the chance because Coop rejected my act. Now,
maybe radio is not the best place to break the
record for holding your breath alongest, but I thought it

(22:49):
would have been pretty cool, right.

Speaker 1 (22:50):
Ben, Yeah, I was all I was for that, But
then the dead air things, the problem people get upset
with the dead air.

Speaker 7 (22:55):
And then last year I wanted to perform a moment
of silence for the troops, and I got rejected again
in Coop told me that was an even dumber idea
than holding my breath. I'm not gonna lie man. I
was so upset I almost quit the show after that.

Speaker 1 (23:06):
I would have been devastating. You're such a big part
of the show. You've really worked your way up the
big board. So what are you planning this year? What
do you have in the works.

Speaker 7 (23:13):
Well, it's pretty obvious Coop's not a fan of acts
that don't make any sounds. So I'll try something different
this year, something that's never been done before. I want
to do a comedy act. What do you think, Ben
and Coop? Can I get a slot?

Speaker 1 (23:25):
Oh yeah, we'll give him a slot. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
we'll put put him in there. Coop for laugh Yeah.

Speaker 7 (23:32):
Friendly helped me with my routine, so it's guaranteed.

Speaker 1 (23:35):
Oh no, not is he? Did he move out? Did
he move out? He got married? Is that the act?
You just say, Brian Fenley because that's hilarious. Oh wow,
that is.

Speaker 7 (23:45):
Not the act?

Speaker 1 (23:48):
What hour would you What hour you like? Which hour?
You don't care?

Speaker 7 (23:51):
Whatever one works for you?

Speaker 1 (23:53):
All right, put that down, Cooper Loop Comedy.

Speaker 7 (23:55):
One more thing. Oh yes, are you doing the Fifth
Hour with Danny g or Alex Tischert this week?

Speaker 1 (24:01):
I'm pretty sure Danny's going to be back. As far
as I know, I have not heard that the Vegan
will be in there.

Speaker 7 (24:06):
I guess like I can take my tinfoil hat off then.

Speaker 1 (24:08):
Right, yeah, yeah, you can put that down until he
comes back on. There wasn't that wild ferg Dog? That
was crazy.

Speaker 7 (24:14):
That was a very interesting podcast. Yeah, I don't expect
that ice walls and yeah, I mean nothing. Even the
political thing was pretty crazy. But even besides that, all
the other things were pretty wacky. I yeah, the Antarctica
is the border of like the end of the Earth
something like that.

Speaker 1 (24:29):
Yeah, he was going there.

Speaker 7 (24:31):
And I didn't understand like half of it.

Speaker 6 (24:32):
But look on Project paper clip. Coop, okay, Project paper clip?

Speaker 7 (24:40):
What's that?

Speaker 1 (24:40):
I thought it was a World War two things.

Speaker 6 (24:42):
Yeah, so they wouldn't let the people go into antarcticas
like you can't go too far.

Speaker 1 (24:47):
There's a there's a conspiracy theories. There's like a sub
creature of a species that lives like an Antarctica. There's
something there that they won't allow people just to visit.

Speaker 7 (24:56):
So I'm surprised the hollow Earth didn't come up.

Speaker 1 (24:58):
Ye, yeah, i'd away, what's that? He thinks it's flat,
not hollow.

Speaker 8 (25:06):
That's why Ty Shirt's legit a flat earther.

Speaker 1 (25:09):
Is he a flat earth guy? I'm like ninety seven
percent sure he is a flatter Operation paper Clip a
secret United States intelligence program in which more than sixteen
hundred German scientist, engineers, and technicians were taken from former
Nazi Germany of the US for a government employment. It
gets deep. Yeah, it goes into.

Speaker 2 (25:29):
They helped out with the Manhattan Project in the.

Speaker 1 (25:32):
And all that. Okay, but that what does that?

Speaker 6 (25:35):
If you want to go into conspiracy theories, it goes
into how they weren't allowed something happened in Antarctica and
since then they haven't let people go there.

Speaker 1 (25:42):
Oh okay, I know someone who went there. Can we well,
there's a tourist area. But you're talking about Rob Parker? No, okay,
where'd he go? Was it Antarctic or was it the
other one? What's the other one? Iceland? No? No, the
North Pole? He Santa Clause. I don't know. He was

(26:03):
at some pole. I don't know which pole he Well,
he likes.

you're forced to listen to the show in the middle
of the night, so it's good for us.

Speaker 7 (28:49):
All right.

Speaker 1 (28:50):
We'll ask five questions, well, maybe only three. If you
get three right, we'll keep going until you get one wrong.
And these are all questions. The answers are too much
not enough? Question number one. Evan Mobley of the Cavaliers
is one of six players with three hundred blocks and
one hundred and fifty steals since he entered the league.
Is that too much or not enough?

Speaker 7 (29:12):
I'll say not enough?

Speaker 1 (29:16):
Not enough? Is that on com O got it wrong.
The answer is too much. He is one of four players,
along with Anthony Davis, Jaron Jackson, and Rudy Gobert. Question
number two, Lance Lynn of the Cardinals just became the
fourth active pitcher with two thousand career strikeouts. Is that

(29:37):
too much or not enough? You're a baseball guy, Uncle Mo.

Speaker 7 (29:41):
I'll say that not enough?

Speaker 1 (29:44):
He says not enough? Is he correct? That is right? Yes?
Not enough? Lance Lynn? The sixth active pitcher Kershaw? Who's
coming back this week to the Dodgers? Chris Sale, who's hurt?
Garrett Cole, Verlander and Schurzer? Question number two? Question number two,
Market number three? Really, Shoho Tani has five homers of

(30:07):
four hundred and fifty feet or greater this season? Is
that too much or not enough?

Speaker 6 (30:13):
I'll say too much?

Speaker 1 (30:16):
He says too much? Is that correct? No, believe it.
It's not enough. He's had seven seven of those home runs.
No other player has more than four. Aaron Judge, Gian
Carlos Stanton, guys like that of your Yankees. Question number four,
have we found Uncle Moe's kryptonite? Developing? Hot dot dot dot?

(30:40):
All right, you gotta get these last two right, Uncle Moe,
and this is right in your wheelhouse. Aaron Judge leads
the majors with thirty two multi RBI games this year.
Is that too much or not enough?

Speaker 7 (30:54):
Oh?

Speaker 9 (30:54):
I think I saw this.

Speaker 7 (30:56):
I'm gonna go too much, but I might be wrong
on this.

Speaker 1 (30:59):
He says, too much. Let's find out that is correct,
Uncle Moe. You had to get that Yankee one right.
Judge has twenty nine multi RBI games and now it
comes down to Game seven, the final moment, do or die?
Question five? To win the game? Uncle Moe in Brooklyn
holding his what four week goals?

Speaker 3 (31:20):

Little Hannah win it for hand, Uncle mom. There have
been seven teams to win back to back Super Bowls?
Is that too much or not enough?

Seven teams to win back to back back to.

Speaker 1 (31:39):
Back Super Bowl? Seven teams all times?

Speaker 7 (31:42):
Too much?

Speaker 1 (31:43):
Are you sure about that?

Speaker 3 (31:45):
No?

Speaker 1 (31:45):
Not enough, you said? Final answer is not another seasy right?
That's right. You won it for Hannah. She's so proud
of you. I can't you do it all the way.
There have been eight teams to accomplish that. And when
Hannah's a little older, you can say, you know when
you were four weeks old that we won a game

I feel like there's a lot of love lingering in
the air that need some answering right now. That full
moon got people all hyped up.

Speaker 1 (34:05):
All right, Daniel writes in He says a majority of
people get into relationships with people from their work, school, hometown,
et cetera. What are the odds all these soulmates were
that close? Shouldn't they try and search a bit more?
Your thoughts?

Speaker 6 (34:21):
I totally agree. Yeah, you should travel the world and
find love everywhere. Because you never know where you're gonna
find it. But a lot of people don't travel, and
maybe maybe maybe it is situational like that, maybe they're
right next door to you your whole life, you didn't
even know.

Speaker 1 (34:33):
Yeah, that'd be sad, all right. Art Puffin writes in
he has a this is more of a visual thing
than a audio thing. He sent a clip here. I
think he tagged you in it as well. Yeah, I
think Coop just showed it to me. Is it appropriate
to touch your woman like this in public? It looks
like they're the wedding. There's a tushy slap. I would

(34:53):
call it a grays a tushy gray.

Speaker 8 (34:55):
A slap, but a grays like a light. You missed
that part of the clipperright now. There's a little there's
a little pat there at the beginning.

Speaker 1 (35:01):
I called that an acknowledge. Yeah, there's a little squeeze.
There's definitely a squeeze. Nice acknowledgment. You know, if that's
your woman, yeah, you can touch it. If it's not
your woman, no touchy, no, no touchy yes time. And
if your woman doesn't like it, you know, she'll move
your hand elsewhere.

Speaker 6 (35:15):
But it looks like he's very comfortable and if you
and your woman have that relationship, then that's no one
else's business.

Speaker 1 (35:20):
Do you approve the If you're in a relationship and
it's a centered on the booty, you can go with that. Okay,
very good on that. We have some calls as well.

Let me look. Oh no, not my type, not my type.

tweet you read. You meet your significant other at work
or or you know, schop.

Speaker 1 (37:35):
Butever you find them attractive at work or school.

Not always sometimes you just you're with them all the time.
You're around them and you learn their personality and disagree.

Speaker 1 (37:44):
I think men. You disagree? Yeah, men find they find
a woman attractive physically and then they go If they
happen to have a good personality, then then they are keeper,
you know.

Speaker 6 (37:54):
Yeah, I mean, hey, let's be honest. I mean, obviously
we all go for looks at first, but it shouldn't
be like that.

Speaker 1 (38:01):
It should There's a lot of things in the world.
It should be like they are. There other ways we
can do it. You do better, be better. I'm sorry.
Looks fade, Ben, they do looks fake? Well everything your
person is only attractive all so long, and then there's
saggy and dragon. I know, but we eventually all go
