Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our number three, which may or
may not be music to your ears. In our three
on this Friday, the Fallen Angel, what's the word for
how things are looking for Mike Trout's career arc in Anaheim? Also,
is there a lesson from the Mike Trout contract? That
(00:23):
four hundred million dollar contract with the Angels? And how's
that looking right now? A bookie also linked to show,
hel Tani is pleading guilty to illegal sports betting. Any
thoughts on this latest development will go there as well.
It is all coming your way right now. Plus lame
jokes of the week. We take no prisoners. In our
(00:47):
number three, we are on a phishing expedition. Well gum.
In the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mahler Show.
We are in the air everywhere, melting in your ears
as we fill up your plate, coast to coast, border
(01:09):
the border and beyond. On the mast and wondrously powerful

The way tire buying should be truck or Joe has
ten thousand complaints against Andre from the Commonwealth about his
dog willis he is not a believer, not not a believer.
(01:54):
But our lead this hour is from baseball. We're going fishing.
We are going fishing, is what we are going. Yes,
our lead from the Big A and we're trying to
catch a Trout as in Mike Trout. Now, if you
had Mike Trout returning to the Angels on your Bengo card,
you are a big fat loser. I assume you've heard
(02:17):
by now, but maybe not. Perhaps you missed it. The
Angels general manager Perry Mansion revealing that the former MVP
Mike Trout, the greatest player of this generation, is going
to be out for the rest of the baseball season,
all of August and September and what's left in October.
(02:38):
The reason a torn meniscus. Oh my left Nay, it
hurts so much. That is the surgically repaired knee. A
couple of weeks ago, Mike Trout went to Salt Lake
City and was on the brink of coming back, psych
psych just kidding Gotti. Now, the hope now is that
(02:59):
he will be fully healthy and ready to go for
the Cactus League. That's when the Angels have a chance
to have a good team. They usually do pretty well
in the Cactus League. It's really where they dominate the Halos.
So let us discuss what is the word right? What
is the word for? How things are looking for Mike
Trout's career arc in Anaheim. So I've got Indiana Jones, poison,
(03:25):
and master degree or master's degree. We'll combine all those
together and we are going to make pastrami a great
pastrami sandwich. Man I love a good pastami samwich. SOO,
my first thought on this the word I'm going to use.
Two words fallen angel are the two words I'm gonna use.
(03:46):
Mike Trout went from one hundred miles an hour to zero.
Now he's still getting his four hundred plus million dollars,
but he is now in the darkness from the greatest
player of his generation to currently in albatross in Anaheim.
And it reminds me of an old movie, the scene
in Indiana Jones. I guess imagine it this way like
(04:08):
a trapdoor opens up and you find yourself stuck in
the well of souls. An iconic scene in that classic
Indiana Jones movie that you remember that snake infested pit
that he was in and he had that famous line snakes,
Why did it have to be snakes? Mike Trout is
(04:28):
right now hanging out and there are snakes all around.
Trout has been over the last few years, six hundred
and forty eight possible games over the last four seasons.
Mike Trout has missed almost sixty percent of those games,
two hundred and sixty six out of six hundred and
forty eight possible games over the last four seasons. Now,
(04:49):
for my male of math is correct, that means he
has played just barely over forty percent, but he's missed
fifty eight point nine percent of his work assignments. It's
fair to say that he is not married to Lady Luck.
That Lady Luck is not helping you out. Now. Secondly,
is there a lesson from that massive Mike Trout contract
(05:15):
with the Angels? So the lesson, there's a couple of
lessons from this. It's a teachable moment to not be
a prisoner of the moment. The Angels were right. Everyone
praised them and said how great they are. Nobody thought
Mike Trout could ever get old. He has. It's that
classic poison song. Every thorn, every rose has his thorn, right,
(05:37):
every or every thorn has his row. Either way, Mike
Trout when the Angel signed him, was a beautiful rose.
And the Angels didn't realize that they overlooked the thorn
in the rose, and so now they need a bandon.
They get a little cut. There is no evidence that
Mike Trout is ever going to be great again for
(05:57):
an extended period. Could he have a good month, Sure
he can have a good month, hit a bunch of
home runs, but I'm talking about the entire season. His
body has broken down. It has And if Trout this
chapter of his career, Mike Trout's Angels career was in cinema,
it would be the curious case of Benjamin Button. He
has prematurely aged. His body has fallen apart for whatever reason.
(06:21):
Is that unfair? I don't think it's unfair. What is
my evidence. Let's go to the medical charts. If you
look at the Mike Trout medical chart, it's like Humpty
Dumpty had a great fall. He's in pieces cash strained
check back, inflammation check broken left hand, check torn meniscus
check check two of those. And let's not forget that
(06:42):
Mike Trout was diagnosed with a rare spinal condition that
will impact the rest of his career and around the
time that report came out, he has continued to be
stuck in the mire ever since then. So methinks there
is thing to that. Methinks there is something to that.
(07:02):
All right, final thought, We now go to court. A
lot of sports stories involved in court. A follow up
to the show hey Otani Drama Aurama from the last
couple months. The book maker based in the OC, the
bookmaker at the center of the scandal involving sho he
(07:25):
Otani and his longtime interpreter Ipe Misuhara, has agreed that
he's guilty. He's gonna plead guilty to not one, not
too but three federal charges. The bookie named Matthew Boyer
is expected to plead guilty on August night, so a
(07:45):
week from now. The charges of money laundering something operating
a money laundering business, I think is one of the charges.
Subscribing a false tax return or writing a false tax return.
Now the bookie. To Otani is pleading guilty to illegal
sports betting and the money laundering that is tied to that.
(08:07):
They always get you for the taxes, right, They didn't
get l al Capone for what he did, but it
was the taxes. So any thoughts on this latest wrinkle
in the sho Heo Tani stories, anything that stands out?
So this is more validation and more confirmation that sho
Heo Tani not only a wonderful baseball player, but he
(08:30):
is also someone that picked up a master's degree and
the master's degree. If you look at the diploma, Tani
master degree is in escapology. The fact that he swam
in the stink, got out of the water, and he
smelled amazing, smelled like vanilla. It's Houdini like is what
(08:53):
it is. Imagine swimming in poopy water like they did
at the Olympics in Perie, getting out and not even
needing to take a shower. That is an escape artist.
So here's what he did. He played clueless, He played
the village idiot, and it worked. He's such a big star.
(09:14):
It worked. He was able to dodge federal charges, didn't
get charged with anything. And yet here we are. Is
it wrong of me to think, in my opinion, that
there's some human sacrifice going on right here, that a
couple of people are taking one for the team, that
multiple people are going down in order to keep sho
(09:35):
Hail Tani's image clean as a whistle. Very impressive. Now,
the bookie, from what I was reading, he's not just
gonna do a little bit of jail time. He's going
to the Gray Bar Hotel and he's going to be
staying there, the all inclusive Gray Bar Hotel. We got
some boys that listen in prison, so you're gonna get
a new roommate there coming to a prison near you. Now,
(09:59):
it's it's not a crime of violence, so he'll likely
go to a country club prison. But still the mandatory
sentence mandatory is at least ten years in prison on
the money laundering count, so that's ten years. We are
also told that he's facing up to eight years on
(10:21):
the other charges, so it's more likely than not they
probably cut him a deal where we'll give you ten
and one or something like that, and so then he'll
get sentenced to eleven. But in the federal court, I
believe you have to serve like eighty percent. So if
it's ten, he's got to serve eight and there's no
way to shorten it. So he's he's hit a speed
(10:41):
bump the bookie and he'll be out for a good
amount of time. It is the Ben Malor Show, but
Otani'll be playing at Dodger Stadium soon, like this weekend.
I think it is the Ben Malor shows. We whiz around.
If you'd like to be part, you can join us.
Speak easy. Rules are in effect, but the number is
available to open call up. We'll take some of these
(11:04):
calls here scream and shout. I understand. We'll look at
the stars how it relates to Mike Trout, because clearly
it's not working. The star chart is not in the
man's favor. He's fallen on hard times. We'll do that. Also,
we have the Mallory Riddle of the Day. And here
is the Mallary Riddle of the day, a blatant attempt
(11:24):
to get you to listen a little bit longer, and
we suck up to our friends in Minnesota on the
Mallar Riddle of the Day. Minnesota Twins star Royce Lewis
admitted recently that he still has blank in his bedroom
keep it clean. It's a family show. A lot of
kids listen this time of the morning. So the Malar
(11:46):
Riddle of the day twin star Royce Lewis admitted he
still has blank in his bedroom. That is the Mallor
Riddle of the day. The answer will get to it
and we will do it next.

He wasn't that popular. I thought you should saw.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
The latest iteration of Aquaman. He was a big muff dude.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Yeah, but I don't care. I'm an adult, Eddy, I'm

Speaker 2 (18:23):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (18:23):
I love when I was a kid. I loved Aquaman.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
I thought that was one of the coolest cartoons.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
I loved Aquaman also, but I didn't see a lot
of them like this. I'm back in our age, coop,
we had these things. We only saw cartoons on Saturday morning.
We had a Saturday Morning cartoon.
Speaker 5 (18:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Yeah, he didn't see a lot of Aquaman, and I was.
I was upset by that.
Speaker 4 (18:41):
Father Ben wanted to talk to the fishes.
Speaker 6 (18:46):
What is that you're saying? You love listening to the
Ben Maller Show.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Oh wow, look at that. Lorraine is already planning for
the weekend. Here she's ready for Vegas, right, Lorena, you
are packed.
Speaker 6 (18:59):
I even got my eyebrows done, Ben, I got them threaded.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Oh that's big time.
Speaker 6 (19:03):
So I noticed they looked really nice.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
You did, Eddie? You got your Yeah, yeah, you look
I thought you had the You're like me. You have
the the Ernie eyebrows right then, brow and.
Speaker 6 (19:16):
I thought it's called the Anthony Davis.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Yeah, sporty, Lorena, amazing. Let's go to the phones and
we'll say hello. We have not heard from this a
young lady in a while. We say hello to Andrea
in Berkeley right there hanging out or is she here
she's hard at work. You know, she's multimediaty, not not
(19:45):
just radio. She writes for The Athletic, she pops up
on TV in the Bay Area. She's all over the place.
Speaker 7 (19:52):
Yes, busy, Urgo's work is never done.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
I know we're lucky that you still call the show.
You're such a big deal.
Speaker 7 (19:59):
Yeah, he's a been a bit busy lately, but I
definitely wanted to put in a call and do some
Mike Trout sports astrology and tell the malord militia that
Mercury is going to retrograde.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Oh oh, oh oh, sound the alarm bell, sell the alarm.
Speaker 7 (20:17):
Bell, yep. August fit through the twenty eighth.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Then and next week, next week it begins. Yeah, exactly
what whoa so?
Speaker 7 (20:31):
And we're already in the retrochade. We're already feeling it now.
So you know, you know the drill. Just double check
all communications, allow extra time for travel, double check contracts
and so on. Some technology snaffoos here and there, so
just you know, something to keep in mind. So August
fifit through the twenty eighth, and interesting timing. Mike Trout
(20:56):
is actually born August seventh, nineteen ninety one, so his
birthday is coming up really soon, so the cusp of
his birthday, so.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Not the bo Well, the good news is he doesn't
have to worry about working on his birthday, so he's good.
He's got his birthday off, which is great.
Speaker 7 (21:12):
That's the one way to look at it. On the
right side. Yeah, he sure does. Plus Saturn opposed Morris
transit that goes on August through January, so obviously he's
out for the season. And you know that's too bad
because Leo does thrive on appreciation. And he wrote quite
a bit in some interviews about how disappointed he is
(21:35):
and how he lives for playing and that, you know,
playing and competing is a huge part of my life.
He said, this is as equally heartbreaking and frustrating for
me as it is for you the fans. So I
understand I disappointed.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Many Is there anything in the future.
Speaker 7 (21:53):
Well, here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Here we go. Now we're getting Now, we're getting the
good stuff. Here we go, now we're getting the good stuff.
Speaker 7 (21:58):
Here we're hearing him take the high road. And then
Saturn in Pisces opposing his Mars and Virgo. You know,
I always say Mars is a crucial plan for an
athlete rules energy, assertion, aggression. Saturn rules a skeletal system,
so it also rules delays and frustrations. So Saturn opposing
(22:20):
an athlete's Mars is a very difficult transit. It's once
every twenty nine years, Ben, so it's not very often,
and at lasts on and off for an entire year,
so you know, the timing. He'll do everything he can
to come back even stronger, and so on and so forth.
But you know, timing is everything, and that Saturn Mars
(22:42):
transit is a really tough one. So again, it rules
the skeletal system and delay, not denial, but it's definitely
frustrating for him and his ambitions.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Gotcha all right? Well, Andrea, thank you so much. I
know we'll talk next week at some point there, so
so thank you. And are you done going to A's games?
Are you gonna go to one more before the season
ends or is that it?
Speaker 7 (23:05):
Yeah, you know, I'd like to try to go to
one more. I went to the Jerry Garcia Night a
couple of weeks ago and that was fun.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Yeah remember that. Yeah, you're a big deadhead from back then.
Speaker 7 (23:16):
Yeah, yeah, I'm going to the Giants one in about
a week or two. But yeah, the A's I think
they're gonna have something at the Treehouse every Friday night,
so maybe I'll try to go to another event. But yeah,
it's quite sad they were actually playing the Giants the
Last Battle of the Bay.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Ever with the end, did the A's end up winning
the all time series like against the Giants in the
regular season? I think they did, didn't they?
Speaker 7 (23:42):
Oh really all time in terms of how many years
head to head?
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Yeah, yeah, I think they did.
Speaker 7 (23:46):
I thought I read that somewhere interesting. I'm not sure,
but that that's a possibility. So it's just you know,
the Last Battle of the Bay. They'll play again the
end of August, but they'll play at Oracle Park, so yeah,
it won't be quite the same.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Yeah. All right, Well, Andrea, thank you, have a great weekend.
We'll chat next week. And there's There's you go the
Star Lady. There she goes, where she goes, Well, she's
probably got like pixie dust or something like that. I
don't know she's got there, she said, you know, she's
she knows all about that. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (24:22):
Do you have an update on that story I was
telling you about in Puck the World yesterday, Ben, we
had the well respected hockey analyst that was mysteriously fired
after the the NHL draft in Vegas.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Scandal or health.
Speaker 4 (24:36):
Uh well, I guess I'd have to go scandal all
this one.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Yeah, solve drugs or women? Neither neither.
Speaker 5 (24:44):
Apparently he was leaking the picks out to a friend
of his. Uh so we had the heads up on
who was getting picked. Apparently no gambling, but his friend. Well,
I guess the NHL does for some reason. Uh So,
they were monitoring social media about some things, and there
was a friend of his that was putting off the
picks before they were made, and I guess like commenting
(25:07):
on them.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
Oh so, apparently that was the issue.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
That's so stupid.
Speaker 5 (25:12):
I agree, it seems silly. It seems like a very
bit overreaction to let him go for something like that.
And maybe they're using it as an excuse because they
wanted to get rid of it.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
Anyway. I don't know, but that's apparently the story. He
was leaking the picks out before it.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
That's dog Gary Beman's an idiot. If he's behind that,
it is the bean. Well, he's an idiot whether he's
behind it or not. Right anyway, it is the Ben
Malor Show. Congratulations to Liz l from Pine Bluff, Arkansas.

tell people who want to be talk so hoods. They're
one of the great props in talk radio is having
(28:16):
a dog. Even if you don't have a dog, how
are they gonna know if you if you if you
say you've got a Saint Bernard, right, they're going to
know whether you have one or not. They're not going
to come to your house, right, and that so many
people use a dog as a prop. And then other

But as long as the is the golfer doesn't say
anything you really get. Let's say they have you know,
wyat taps of stuff like that. It's to taping the
you know, the dh for the Dodgers. But the thing is,
unless they have actual recordings or him saying something, it's
all going to be speculation. Through the years, everybody's gonna
(29:32):
come up. The whole thing it's gonna be the grassy
old thing.
Speaker 1 (29:36):

is Big Ben's lame jokes of the week. Thank you,
Hello and welcome. It's our number three, which may or
may not be music to your ears. In our three
on this Friday, the Fallen Angel, what's the word for
how things are looking for Mike Trout's career arc in Anaheim? Also,
is there a lesson from the Mike Trout contract? That
(00:23):
four hundred million dollar contract with the Angels? And how's
that looking right now? A bookie also linked to show,
hel Tani is pleading guilty to illegal sports betting. Any
thoughts on this latest development will go there as well.
It is all coming your way right now. Plus lame
jokes of the week. We take no prisoners. In our
(00:47):
number three, we are on a phishing expedition. Well gum.
In the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mahler Show.

The way tire buying should be truck or Joe has
ten thousand complaints against Andre from the Commonwealth about his
dog willis he is not a believer, not not a believer.
(01:54):
But our lead this hour is from baseball. We're going fishing.
We are going fishing, is what we are going. Yes,
our lead from the Big A and we're trying to
catch a Trout as in Mike Trout. Now, if you
had Mike Trout returning to the Angels on your Bengo card,
you are a big fat loser. I assume you've heard
(02:17):
by now, but maybe not. Perhaps you missed it. The
Angels general manager Perry Mansion revealing that the former MVP
Mike Trout, the greatest player of this generation, is going
to be out for the rest of the baseball season,
all of August and September and what's left in October.
(02:38):
The reason a torn meniscus. Oh my left Nay, it
hurts so much. That is the surgically repaired knee. A
couple of weeks ago, Mike Trout went to Salt Lake
City and was on the brink of coming back, psych
psych just kidding Gotti. Now, the hope now is that
(02:59):
he will be fully healthy and ready to go for
the Cactus League. That's when the Angels have a chance
to have a good team. They usually do pretty well
in the Cactus League. It's really where they dominate the Halos.
So let us discuss what is the word right? What
is the word for? How things are looking for Mike
Trout's career arc in Anaheim. So I've got Indiana Jones, poison,
(03:25):
and master degree or master's degree. We'll combine all those
together and we are going to make pastrami a great
pastrami sandwich. Man I love a good pastami samwich. SOO,
my first thought on this the word I'm going to use.
Two words fallen angel are the two words I'm gonna use.
(03:46):
Mike Trout went from one hundred miles an hour to zero.
Now he's still getting his four hundred plus million dollars,
but he is now in the darkness from the greatest
player of his generation to currently in albatross in Anaheim.
And it reminds me of an old movie, the scene
in Indiana Jones. I guess imagine it this way like
(04:08):
a trapdoor opens up and you find yourself stuck in
the well of souls. An iconic scene in that classic
Indiana Jones movie that you remember that snake infested pit
that he was in and he had that famous line snakes,
Why did it have to be snakes? Mike Trout is
(04:28):
right now hanging out and there are snakes all around.
Trout has been over the last few years, six hundred
and forty eight possible games over the last four seasons.
Mike Trout has missed almost sixty percent of those games,
two hundred and sixty six out of six hundred and
forty eight possible games over the last four seasons. Now,
(04:49):
for my male of math is correct, that means he
has played just barely over forty percent, but he's missed
fifty eight point nine percent of his work assignments. It's
fair to say that he is not married to Lady Luck.
That Lady Luck is not helping you out. Now. Secondly,
is there a lesson from that massive Mike Trout contract
(05:15):
with the Angels? So the lesson, there's a couple of
lessons from this. It's a teachable moment to not be
a prisoner of the moment. The Angels were right. Everyone
praised them and said how great they are. Nobody thought
Mike Trout could ever get old. He has. It's that
classic poison song. Every thorn, every rose has his thorn, right,
(05:37):
every or every thorn has his row. Either way, Mike
Trout when the Angel signed him, was a beautiful rose.
And the Angels didn't realize that they overlooked the thorn
in the rose, and so now they need a bandon.
They get a little cut. There is no evidence that
Mike Trout is ever going to be great again for
(05:57):
an extended period. Could he have a good month, Sure
he can have a good month, hit a bunch of
home runs, but I'm talking about the entire season. His
body has broken down. It has And if Trout this
chapter of his career, Mike Trout's Angels career was in cinema,
it would be the curious case of Benjamin Button. He
has prematurely aged. His body has fallen apart for whatever reason.
(06:21):
Is that unfair? I don't think it's unfair. What is
my evidence. Let's go to the medical charts. If you
look at the Mike Trout medical chart, it's like Humpty
Dumpty had a great fall. He's in pieces cash strained
check back, inflammation check broken left hand, check torn meniscus
check check two of those. And let's not forget that
(06:42):
Mike Trout was diagnosed with a rare spinal condition that
will impact the rest of his career and around the
time that report came out, he has continued to be
stuck in the mire ever since then. So methinks there
is thing to that. Methinks there is something to that.
(07:02):
All right, final thought, We now go to court. A
lot of sports stories involved in court. A follow up
to the show hey Otani Drama Aurama from the last
couple months. The book maker based in the OC, the
bookmaker at the center of the scandal involving sho he
(07:25):
Otani and his longtime interpreter Ipe Misuhara, has agreed that
he's guilty. He's gonna plead guilty to not one, not
too but three federal charges. The bookie named Matthew Boyer
is expected to plead guilty on August night, so a
(07:45):
week from now. The charges of money laundering something operating
a money laundering business, I think is one of the charges.
Subscribing a false tax return or writing a false tax return.
Now the bookie. To Otani is pleading guilty to illegal
sports betting and the money laundering that is tied to that.
(08:07):
They always get you for the taxes, right, They didn't
get l al Capone for what he did, but it
was the taxes. So any thoughts on this latest wrinkle
in the sho Heo Tani stories, anything that stands out?
So this is more validation and more confirmation that sho
Heo Tani not only a wonderful baseball player, but he
(08:30):
is also someone that picked up a master's degree and
the master's degree. If you look at the diploma, Tani
master degree is in escapology. The fact that he swam
in the stink, got out of the water, and he
smelled amazing, smelled like vanilla. It's Houdini like is what
(08:53):
it is. Imagine swimming in poopy water like they did
at the Olympics in Perie, getting out and not even
needing to take a shower. That is an escape artist.
So here's what he did. He played clueless, He played
the village idiot, and it worked. He's such a big star.
(09:14):
It worked. He was able to dodge federal charges, didn't
get charged with anything. And yet here we are. Is
it wrong of me to think, in my opinion, that
there's some human sacrifice going on right here, that a
couple of people are taking one for the team, that
multiple people are going down in order to keep sho
(09:35):
Hail Tani's image clean as a whistle. Very impressive. Now,
the bookie, from what I was reading, he's not just
gonna do a little bit of jail time. He's going
to the Gray Bar Hotel and he's going to be
staying there, the all inclusive Gray Bar Hotel. We got
some boys that listen in prison, so you're gonna get
a new roommate there coming to a prison near you. Now,
(09:59):
it's it's not a crime of violence, so he'll likely
go to a country club prison. But still the mandatory
sentence mandatory is at least ten years in prison on
the money laundering count, so that's ten years. We are
also told that he's facing up to eight years on
(10:21):
the other charges, so it's more likely than not they
probably cut him a deal where we'll give you ten
and one or something like that, and so then he'll
get sentenced to eleven. But in the federal court, I
believe you have to serve like eighty percent. So if
it's ten, he's got to serve eight and there's no
way to shorten it. So he's he's hit a speed
(10:41):
bump the bookie and he'll be out for a good
amount of time. It is the Ben Malor Show, but
Otani'll be playing at Dodger Stadium soon, like this weekend.
I think it is the Ben Malor shows. We whiz around.
If you'd like to be part, you can join us.
Speak easy. Rules are in effect, but the number is
available to open call up. We'll take some of these
(11:04):
calls here scream and shout. I understand. We'll look at
the stars how it relates to Mike Trout, because clearly
it's not working. The star chart is not in the
man's favor. He's fallen on hard times. We'll do that. Also,
we have the Mallory Riddle of the Day. And here
is the Mallary Riddle of the day, a blatant attempt
(11:24):
to get you to listen a little bit longer, and
we suck up to our friends in Minnesota on the
Mallar Riddle of the Day. Minnesota Twins star Royce Lewis
admitted recently that he still has blank in his bedroom
keep it clean. It's a family show. A lot of
kids listen this time of the morning. So the Malar
(11:46):
Riddle of the day twin star Royce Lewis admitted he
still has blank in his bedroom. That is the Mallor
Riddle of the day. The answer will get to it
and we will do it next.

The latest iteration of Aquaman. He was a big muff dude.
Speaker 1 (18:15):

Speaker 4 (18:25):
I thought that was one of the coolest cartoons.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
I loved Aquaman also, but I didn't see a lot
of them like this. I'm back in our age, coop,

We had a Saturday Morning cartoon.
Speaker 5 (18:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Yeah, he didn't see a lot of Aquaman, and I was.
I was upset by that.
Speaker 4 (18:41):
Father Ben wanted to talk to the fishes.
Speaker 6 (18:46):
What is that you're saying? You love listening to the
Ben Maller Show.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Oh wow, look at that. Lorraine is already planning for
the weekend. Here she's ready for Vegas, right, Lorena, you
are packed.
Speaker 6 (18:59):
I even got my eyebrows done, Ben, I got them threaded.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Oh that's big time.
Speaker 6 (19:03):
So I noticed they looked really nice.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
You did, Eddie? You got your Yeah, yeah, you look
I thought you had the You're like me. You have
the the Ernie eyebrows right then, brow and.
Speaker 6 (19:16):
I thought it's called the Anthony Davis.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Yeah, sporty, Lorena, amazing. Let's go to the phones and
we'll say hello. We have not heard from this a
young lady in a while. We say hello to Andrea
in Berkeley right there hanging out or is she here
she's hard at work. You know, she's multimediaty, not not
(19:45):
just radio. She writes for The Athletic, she pops up
on TV in the Bay Area. She's all over the place.
Speaker 7 (19:52):
Yes, busy, Urgo's work is never done.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
I know we're lucky that you still call the show.
You're such a big deal.
Speaker 7 (19:59):
Yeah, he's a been a bit busy lately, but I
definitely wanted to put in a call and do some
Mike Trout sports astrology and tell the malord militia that
Mercury is going to retrograde.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Oh oh, oh oh, sound the alarm bell, sell the alarm.
Speaker 7 (20:17):
Bell, yep. August fit through the twenty eighth.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Then and next week, next week it begins. Yeah, exactly
what whoa so?
Speaker 7 (20:31):
And we're already in the retrochade. We're already feeling it now.
So you know, you know the drill. Just double check
all communications, allow extra time for travel, double check contracts
and so on. Some technology snaffoos here and there, so
just you know, something to keep in mind. So August
fifit through the twenty eighth, and interesting timing. Mike Trout
(20:56):
is actually born August seventh, nineteen ninety one, so his
birthday is coming up really soon, so the cusp of
his birthday, so.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Not the bo Well, the good news is he doesn't
have to worry about working on his birthday, so he's good.
He's got his birthday off, which is great.
Speaker 7 (21:12):
That's the one way to look at it. On the
right side. Yeah, he sure does. Plus Saturn opposed Morris
transit that goes on August through January, so obviously he's
out for the season. And you know that's too bad
because Leo does thrive on appreciation. And he wrote quite
a bit in some interviews about how disappointed he is
(21:35):
and how he lives for playing and that, you know,
playing and competing is a huge part of my life.
He said, this is as equally heartbreaking and frustrating for
me as it is for you the fans. So I
understand I disappointed.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Many Is there anything in the future.
Speaker 7 (21:53):
Well, here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Here we go. Now we're getting Now, we're getting the
good stuff. Here we go, now we're getting the good stuff.
Speaker 7 (21:58):
Here we're hearing him take the high road. And then
Saturn in Pisces opposing his Mars and Virgo. You know,
I always say Mars is a crucial plan for an
athlete rules energy, assertion, aggression. Saturn rules a skeletal system,
so it also rules delays and frustrations. So Saturn opposing
(22:20):
an athlete's Mars is a very difficult transit. It's once
every twenty nine years, Ben, so it's not very often,
and at lasts on and off for an entire year,
so you know, the timing. He'll do everything he can
to come back even stronger, and so on and so forth.
But you know, timing is everything, and that Saturn Mars
(22:42):
transit is a really tough one. So again, it rules
the skeletal system and delay, not denial, but it's definitely
frustrating for him and his ambitions.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Gotcha all right? Well, Andrea, thank you so much. I
know we'll talk next week at some point there, so
so thank you. And are you done going to A's games?
Are you gonna go to one more before the season
ends or is that it?
Speaker 7 (23:05):
Yeah, you know, I'd like to try to go to
one more. I went to the Jerry Garcia Night a
couple of weeks ago and that was fun.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Yeah remember that. Yeah, you're a big deadhead from back then.
Speaker 7 (23:16):
Yeah, yeah, I'm going to the Giants one in about
a week or two. But yeah, the A's I think
they're gonna have something at the Treehouse every Friday night,
so maybe I'll try to go to another event. But yeah,
it's quite sad they were actually playing the Giants the
Last Battle of the Bay.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Ever with the end, did the A's end up winning
the all time series like against the Giants in the
regular season? I think they did, didn't they?
Speaker 7 (23:42):
Oh really all time in terms of how many years
head to head?
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Yeah, yeah, I think they did.
Speaker 7 (23:46):
I thought I read that somewhere interesting. I'm not sure,
but that that's a possibility. So it's just you know,
the Last Battle of the Bay. They'll play again the
end of August, but they'll play at Oracle Park, so yeah,
it won't be quite the same.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Yeah. All right, Well, Andrea, thank you, have a great weekend.
We'll chat next week. And there's There's you go the
Star Lady. There she goes, where she goes, Well, she's
probably got like pixie dust or something like that. I
don't know she's got there, she said, you know, she's
she knows all about that. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller

Speaker 5 (24:22):
Do you have an update on that story I was
telling you about in Puck the World yesterday, Ben, we
had the well respected hockey analyst that was mysteriously fired
after the the NHL draft in Vegas.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Scandal or health.
Speaker 4 (24:36):
Uh well, I guess I'd have to go scandal all
this one.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Yeah, solve drugs or women? Neither neither.
Speaker 5 (24:44):
Apparently he was leaking the picks out to a friend
of his. Uh so we had the heads up on
who was getting picked. Apparently no gambling, but his friend. Well,
I guess the NHL does for some reason. Uh So,
they were monitoring social media about some things, and there
was a friend of his that was putting off the
picks before they were made, and I guess like commenting
(25:07):
on them.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
Oh so, apparently that was the issue.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
That's so stupid.
Speaker 5 (25:12):
I agree, it seems silly. It seems like a very
bit overreaction to let him go for something like that.
And maybe they're using it as an excuse because they
wanted to get rid of it.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
Anyway. I don't know, but that's apparently the story. He
was leaking the picks out before it.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
That's dog Gary Beman's an idiot. If he's behind that,
it is the bean. Well, he's an idiot whether he's
behind it or not. Right anyway, it is the Ben
Malor Show. Congratulations to Liz l from Pine Bluff, Arkansas.

say you've got a Saint Bernard, right, they're going to
know whether you have one or not. They're not going
to come to your house, right, and that so many
people use a dog as a prop. And then other
thing with Otani Now, I think his gofer really screwed
things up when he started writing the bets on hot

the whole story. We're getting part of the story where
I get in the whole story. He just swept it
under the rug and that's it. And it's one of
those things, Steve, that will come out years down the line.
Somebody will start writing a book or some random podcast
or something like that and they'll spill the beans.
Speaker 8 (29:11):
Oh well, there'll be a million versions of the story.
But as long as the is the golfer doesn't say
anything you really get. Let's say they have you know,
wyat taps of stuff like that. It's to taping the
you know, the dh for the Dodgers. But the thing is,
unless they have actual recordings or him saying something, it's
all going to be speculation. Through the years, everybody's gonna

old thing.
