Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our Dumber two original recipe podcast. We try to
build a better mouse trap here. It's the hour of
OTWI Show. Hey, Otani a record breaker fifty to fifty
and how do you categorize this performance? Some are saying
the greatest single day in baseball history for Otani against
(00:23):
the Marlins. Also, why have so many baseball people become
obsessed fixated with this chase for fifty to fifty? And
Dave Roberts, I liked him in that spot, gave a
decree on the Dodgers clinching the postseason spot. We'll dissect
what Roberts had to say. We'll get to all of
it right now. Put your hands together for our number two.
(00:49):
It is being called the greatest night in baseball history. Well,
god me in not beginning of another.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Hour of the Ben Malor Show.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
We are in the air everywhere, Comrades, as we are
your Pulse Plaza, coast, the coast, border, the border and
beyond on the vast and rapidly powerful microphones of FSR,
am monating live from the Fly, the Big Fly, as
(01:27):
we hit talk radio dingers all night long. We are
broadcasting live from the Tyraq Dot com Studios.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Tyract dot com.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Will help you get there and unmatch selection, fast free shipping,
free road hazard protection and over ten thousand recommended in
stars tyrac dot com the way tire buying should be.
I know random Ryan in Carolina, big fan of the
ten thousand, So we have saved this. It's the Hour
(01:58):
of Otani, number two of our show. We talked to
mostly football last hour in our lead This hour from
South Florida, a random mid to late September day in Miami. Miami,
that mecca of baseball, and it took a turn to
the wild side.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
The Dodgers and Marlins locking horns.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Now that's typically a matchup you would not circle La
looking to put the finishing touches on a playoff berth.
Yet again it turns out that the better story was
the subplot, not the main event. And we assume that
you've been listening, you know, and if I haven't told you,
somebody else told you. And you like sports. You're listening
(02:42):
to a sports radio show, so it's plausible that somebody
told you. Even if you're not a baseball fan, even
not a baseball fan, it's a big deal. So sho
Hao Tani becoming the first player in Major League history
to hit fifty home runs and fifty steals in the
same season.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
And he did it in style. He definitely did.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Otani homer not one, not two, but three times, he
stole not one, but two bases, leading the Dodgers to
a football like playoff clinching twenty to four win over
the Miami baseball team.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
The Dodgers did miss the extra point.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Marlin's got a couple of safeties, So good job by
their defense there to pick up a couple of safeties.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
But wait, there's more.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Otani becoming the first player to smash three home runs
and steal two bases in a game. He doubled twice,
had a career best six hits, and set the Dodger
franchise record with ten runs batted in in a.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Single day's performance.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
So let us discuss the question for the panel, how
do you categorize this performance by sho Heotani. So I've
got splitsh splash, Android, and Kawai and we will combine
all of these things together and we are going to
(04:10):
go and hit a moonshot.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Is what we're going to do.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Because one of those home runs Otani that was an
absolute moonshot. I think was the last one who All right,
so now first of all to say that this is
like the greatest of all time and the most important
night in baseball, don't be a prisoner of the all Okay,
The fact is it was a wonderful performance. There's some
fine print we'll get to in a minute, but the
(04:34):
fact that abrout ninety percent of the Dodger fan base
in Los Angeles was either at work or stuck in
gridlock traffic. It was good for the flagship radio station,
which we happened to beyond AM five seventy in LA,
the home of the show, the Dodger Flagship, because he
had to be listening to that on the radio. Probably
didn't watch it on TV because you were stuck in traffic.
(04:55):
But a story book has been mentioned. The greatest individual performance,
I swear I remember years ago a player named Mark Witten,
hard hitting Mark Whitton hitting four home runs and having
twelve RBIs in the game for the Saint Louis Cardinals.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
But I digress.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
But listen, this was monster mashing. And I'm not here
to belittle Otani.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
This was a.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Member of the Ohio State Band, the Ohio State marching band,
dotting the eye.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
The susophone player. I believe the susophone dotting the eye.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
This was a big splitsh splash razmatazz all that, all right,
this is putting an exclamation point on your season and
winning an MVP Award as a designated hitter. If it
was ever a race, which it really wasn't. It's over now.
Even though all Toddy does is pinchhit. He doesn't pitch,
(05:48):
he doesn't play the field. All he does is hit,
and he does very well with that. So he brought
the boogie woogie.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Now. In terms of the big picture, this is an
unpopular opinion. I like the dog. I want to see
the Dodgers win the World sairsvery year. I want to
see win the World Series.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
But my opinion of Autani, when you get seven hundred
million dollars, I know most of it's deferred because of
California's lunatic politics and taxation, but seven hundred million dollars,
these are the kind of things that you're supposed to do, right,
These are the kind of things you're supposed to do.
You get paid a premium and yet paid that money
because the Dodgers were betting on the fact of Toni's interpreted.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Its the thing or two about betting.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
But you pay a premium because you got a guy
that has a cheat code and he has it right,
whatever it is, he has it, and so he's meeting expectations,
obviously going a little bob expectations because no one's ever
done this.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
There's some panache to it.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
And now you got to bring home the bacon in
the playoffs, playoffs, and you got to find the treasure man.
Now the fine print part of this. You're not supposed
to say this part out loud, but I can't help myself.
That's why I'm doing overnights and I'm not part of
the mainstream.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Is the fun.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Final blow for Otani came against a second basement that
just threw it right down the middle. Right, that's a
batting practice. Here you go, let's see how far you
can hit it. So you do have to factor that.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
In a little bit. Right now. I wasn't around for
some of these other amazing performances.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Maybe the same thing happened, you know, maybe Babe Ruth
back in the day pictures on the other team grooved it.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
You know, some Red Sox guy grooved it when Ruth
was on the Yankees. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
All I know is what I saw, And what I
saw was Otani hit a ball to the moon. I
think that went down to Cuba from Miami from the
bat of Otani, and I believe that was off a
two twenty four hitting second basement all right now. Secondly,
the other thought I had was why so many baseball
people And these are people that I know, some of
(07:50):
them I worked with back in the day, who are
absolutely obsessed with the Otani fifty to fifty obsessed with it.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Right, this is like the biggest thing, like their pants off.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
They're so exciting and and my answer to that is evolutionary,
that's my answer, right, And human beings we all.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Have this in common. We love round numbers.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
And I've determined as I've gotten older in life that
our brains are kind of like android phones. That we
don't realize this, but when you're born, uh, you know,
when you arrive in the world, you're pre loaded with
a few different sets of apps. And one of the
apps that we all have is our minds are hardwired
to prefer round numbers, those nice, sweet round numbers over
(08:41):
irregular numbers, even when even when the irregular option means
a better deal. Overall, it's very bizarre, but it's true.
And there's some mind hacks that I don't need to
get into it here because you know you're probably boridating mind.
But things I've learned from the advertised world, what they'll do,
(09:01):
certain price points that they have that they know people
will buy. Even if it was more expensive, it would
people would think it's a better deal based on how
many cents are in the total. But in terms of
this conversation with Otani, for reference, fifty home runs is
a much sexier It is a more satisfying number than
(09:22):
fifty one home runs, which he currently has. Round numbers
just make you tangle. Round numbers make you tangle. In sports,
they do. It's a bizarre quirk. And the people that
study this that I guess you call them nerds, But
from what I've read over the years, it's it's because
we have ten fingers and ten toes unless you're a
(09:43):
former Marlins pitcher named Antonio Alfonseka who had six.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Fingers and six toes on each well each hand.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
So I can see a twelve and twelve not let's
still a round number anyway, final thought in clinching the
playoff Berth, Let's get to the big picture for the Dodger.
In christing of a playoff birth, the Dodgers had a
double toast. Now, they first toasted Shoho Tani. Then Dave
Roberts gave a speech in the clubhouse. And rather than
(10:12):
me give you the correspondence of Dave roberts speech, let
me give you I'll give you about a minute block.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Here here is Dave Roberts. He's holding champagne.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
I believe that was champagne there in the Dodger clubhouse,
the visiting clubhouse there in Miami. And here's Dave Roberts
addressing his team as they get back into October baseball.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
So tonight, I think you guys all know we clinched
a postseason bird. And for those of you guys who
have never been to the postseason, there's nothing like it.
This is what we all play for, it to get
an opportunity to play for that trophy. And I just
want to say this, guys, this is the first step.
(10:51):
We all know that the talent is our floor. The
talent in this room is the floor. The character and
a fight is a ceiling for all of us. So, guys,
we got to count on each other to fight and
show the character that we all believe we have, and
we know who we are to play that last game
(11:11):
and win that last game in October.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
So cheers to you guys.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
Congratulations fellas.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Everybody can grab your guys, all right.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
So the crowd goes wild and all that. Dave roy
it sounded a little bit like Jordan, remember Michael Jordan.
But he said the ceiling is the roof, that famous
line from Jordan back in the day. So let's discuss
the postgame speech there from Dave Roberts, his decree in
the Dodger playoff clinching win. How do you dissect that?
(11:40):
So I would say it was measured and appropriate. I
love taking shots at Dave Roberts.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
I do it fun. Really liked him in that spot.
But this is what you have to do right. You
can't get all worked up right. You can't be the
Milwaukee Brewers. You're the Dodgers. There's no joy in Mudville.
The Dodgers are in a different class.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
They spend more money than anybody, They've got better resources
than anybody.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
They shred more arms than anybody. In their pitching staff.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
They're not judged by simply making the playoffs, and every man.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Woman and child knows this.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
It's it's like the famous oasis in Kawhi Tunnels Beach.
You have to have tunnel vision and buckle up and
the couple of things Robert said there that stood out
to me. I know they can't give they don't give
out trophies in September and all that. But Roberts mentioned
the character, which is to me, it's code for guts
and guile and machismo. And so does that mean the
(12:35):
recent Dodger teams have lacked guts? Is that what he's
saying because to win in October? It sounded to me
I'm just going by what he said that you got
to count each other, you gotta show character.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
That was the word he used. You gotta believe in
each other.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
And so that that goes back to synonyms for the
word character would be uh, like I said, machiezmo, gots
all that stuff and prepare, prepare, beat me, buckle up, buccaroo,
because you're gonna be scrutinized, despised, politicized, dramatized, chastised, analyzed, moralized, stigmatized, sensationalized,
and criticized.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
It's going to happen, especially if you screw up.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
The roller coaster ride is open for business coming up
in in October. Also later this hour, we will get
Dave Roberts did something that was hilarious that we will
we will share with you. You're gonna want to hear that, lay.
I'll get to that later in the hour. Also in
addition to that, as we move forward, here a karma alarma,
(13:37):
A karma alarma.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
In the sporting world. What is that all about? Yeah, yeah,
that's that's that's a good one. That's a good one. Well,
it's my opinion.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
It's a good when you'll have to be the judge
of that, you are the consumer, but I think it's
a good.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
So we'll get to that coming up here in a
little bit.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
We'll take your calls also on x at ben Mahlord
that is at MA if you'd like to be part
and we are on X and so you can hit
us up there and also all the other social media
channels that we are available on. But the Karma Alarma,
the Karma Alarma will get to that and we will.

Speaker 1 (15:27):

Speaker 7 (15:28):
Step into a world of imagination. The Ben Mallor Show
has an unlimited marketing budget. We need your assistance in
growing the congregation of the mald Militia.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
How do you do it?
Speaker 7 (15:39):
Tag mal related content on all social media networks. You
are the missing jigsaw puzzle piece to unlock the Ben
Mallor Show to new comrades. Now let's get it back
to Ben's daily dose of good vibes.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
We are rolling through the overnight. By the way, big news.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
I check with my my line making guy and he
tells me that Saddleback College will be a seven point
favorite against UCLA this year.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
That's how bad the Bruins are. So is man? What
a does backle?
Speaker 3 (16:11):
That is?
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Holy?
Speaker 7 (16:12):
Well, it's it's funny you bring that up because you've
been really quiet about your rams. I wonder why can't
figure that one? Out for some reason.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Well that's what about is him. But the topic is
UCLA football. Now, are you doing the postgame show.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
For the Bruns?
Speaker 8 (16:24):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Will we do?
Speaker 7 (16:25):
Yes, I'll be doing the post game yeah, I know,
looking forward to this one on Saturday games.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
All right? That all that would be a good game.
Maybe they might even lose the pregame warm up to
the Bruins. My god, I I oh man, are you
gonna call in? Are you going to call in?
Speaker 2 (16:40):
I want you to know, Brian, I'm so old as
Lorena calls me the old man. She calls me grandpa,
not a grandpa, but anyway, and I'm not much older
than her.
Speaker 9 (16:49):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
I don't know how shows how old she is, but
I did bruin talk.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
The single worst UCLA football bruin talk was local radio
in La.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
It was the late nineties. They were one win away from.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Going to the to the college football Playoff at whatever
it's called at the time.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
They had a makeup game.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
There was a game against Miami that was postponed because
of a hurricane, so they played at the end of
the year. They had a believe, a seventeen point lead
in the third quarter. All they have to do is
hold on, they win the game. It was such a debacle.
The FBI investigated. They thought that the Bruins had thrown
the game. They literally investigate a game. And I was
(17:26):
doing the postgame talk show at that time after the game,
and it went very smoothly.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
How did you spin it? How did you spin it?
After that?
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Well, the problem is, I don't think I spun it
because that's the last time I ever did that, So
I don't know that I was I wasn't successful at
spinning it. But if you want some tips, I mean,
I don't know if I'm the right person to talk to,
but yeah, you're just you're gonna have to talk a
lot about NIL the futures. But you might want to
go like memory memory Lane, you know, interview Bob Toledo.
(17:55):
Ibo's still around, but I gets some of Cade McNown
some of those old UCLA players from from back in
the day. Hey, but man, that is were I looked
at this. They played in Indiana right the other night
they played Indiana.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Yeah, they lost in just lose, no no, no, they
that was like, oh my god, that was like wait
a minute, dude, you're in the Big ten. Now you
can't be losing to Indiana. Nobody loses to Indiana. I
like losers.
Speaker 7 (18:19):
This losers fan of losers, and he's got Eric b
Enemy as the offensive coordinator with all of his NFL experience.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
That's that's an well, it would appear at this point
just based on the.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Small sample size. All right, let's take some calls here.
Let's say hello to eenye meanie Mighty Moe. Let's say
hi to Angry Bill, who's saying Jacksonville, Hello, Angry Bill.
Speaker 9 (18:47):
Hello, gentlemen, Lorena, how you doing? Ben? When you mentioned
it and you hit it right on your head. The
big problem with the Dodgers they probably have from what
I can remember, and that goes back a long way
because I'm an old man, the pressure for them to
win could wind up being unbearable, Okay, unfortunately. I mean,
(19:12):
you know, they've had the tiny season. The Dodgers like
their season, but the problem is they're pitching sucks and
not sucks, but they're they're coming from the hospital. Everybody's hurt,
and that's unfortunate, and I feel so bad for it.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
I mean, you know, you sound like you're very upset,
you're very angry with you.
Speaker 9 (19:34):
I don't know how many guys got cutting nerve in
the hospital with their arms holding between their layouts.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Yeah it's let me tell you, angry Brough.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
The Dodgers have shredded so many elbows and shoulders that
they actually have a discount rate at Costco now on surgery.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
They've had that many operations for their pictures. It's unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
But the whole pressure thing drives me nuts. Right, stop
uh pressure, you should be happy. Would rather play for
the Marlins? You have no pressure? Who wants that?
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Come on?
Speaker 2 (20:06):
At the whole point of sports is to be in
the whole, the whole sport, the whole the whole idea
of sport. Like when when we're growing up, right as kids,
you're like, all right, ninth inning if you're a baseball player,
ninth inning, Game seven of the World Series, two outs,
you know you're down by a wrong guy. You know,
runner on base. You gotta get a hit, right, You
gotta perform under pressure.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
So the whole point is to be in the boiling
cauldron and to get your job done. And like, well
you know there's too much pressure, why but stop that's ridiculous.
Then you suck if you can't handle the pressure. You
suck exactly that outside. The Yankees suck. The Yankee suck.
Speaker 9 (20:44):
Yankees. They're playing great baseball.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Don't start you stop the Yankees about a fraud franchise.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
The Yankees are, My god, we you know we call
the Yankees. We call the Yankees the East Coast Dodgers
is what we call the Yankees. That's what we call them.
Speaker 9 (20:58):
You don't want to compare it, you know, compare world series.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
I'm barely I'm barely old enough to remember the last
time the Yankees were in the World Series. My god,
it's been so long.
Speaker 9 (21:11):
You got no damn memory. What do you want from me?
And you're knocking Derek Jeter? What a bum you are?
Speaker 1 (21:18):
How did I knock there? And I said, he say,
he's he's Paul Maltor's what he is, He's Paul Pinstris garbage.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Oh stop, my god, Derek Jeter, God, you're a loser, fanboy.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
I go go away, thank you.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Another Baffosco colossal waste of our time with Angry Bill.
As the hits keep going there one after another, uh supermarket,
Steve writes in He's he's up with us all night.
He says, I'm pretty sure somewhere along the way the
nineteen twenty seven Yankees were blowing out some team and
they brought in the center fielder who grooveed one one
(21:57):
to Babe Ruth. So what did it matter if it
was number sixty or number twenty three. It's still counted
as one of the home runs. Yeah, but the degree
of difficulty, I know this is probably too much for
you to grasp through Mangert, Steve, but the degree of
difficulty when a second baseman is grooving a batting practice,
you know, sixty eight mile on our pitch down the middle,
(22:19):
and that of a traditional pitcher who throws in the
high eighties, low nineties or higher is slightly slightly different.
Late night drug tester says, was hoping you wouldn't recognize
the Royals not losing yesterday. Of course they had the
day off. No, they actually lost on the day off.
(22:41):
They lost. One of the players lost as car keys,
and so that became became an issue. Alf the Alien
opiner says. If you think that all this hullabaloo for
Otani is over, just wait until the Mala Militia fifty
to fifty celebration next April.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Yeah, you know, how many promotions are they gonna have?
Speaker 9 (23:03):
They?
Speaker 1 (23:03):
You know, the like fifty fifth Well, of course the
fifty to fifty raffle, which I think they already have.
They can do that. Let's see, what about a fifty
to fifty cake, half vanilla, half chocolate.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Oh, or how about a black and white cookie, which
is like the fifty to fifty cookie, right, black and white,
great Deli cookie with the frosting on top.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Ferg Dog says I'm loving all this local sports talk. Dodgers, Rams, Bruins,
Gauchos are the Angels? Are Titans next? Yeah, stay tuned,
stay tuned. O g art Puffins says Cadillac Ranch was
inspired by Dolphins. Check this out, says Cindy spoke to
the Dolphins.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Yeah. I don't think I'm not gonna read all that,
but I'm happy for you. I'm happy for you.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Yeah, supermarcusive follow up. He says, I have to agree
with angry Angry Bill. When I was young and I
was out practicing on the pitching machine, I was always
imagining my team being nine games out of a playoff
contention because I just want to.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Have fun when I play.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Uh, It's spent a lot of days at the neighborhood
parks playing baseball with my buddies.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
But we didn't often use baseballs like we were heathens.
We use racquetballs, golf balls, a boy.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
A metal bat, and a golf ball. You can you
can hit a ball like Barry Bonds all routered up
back in the day. You can hit a Bouco home
run with that kind of connection.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
You really can. It is the Ben Mallord Show.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
As we are navigating our way through the overnight, the
red Eye flight continues and later this hour we're gonna
have Mallard to the third degree.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
We've got great audio we're going to play. Of course,
you'll be the judge whether or not it is great audio, but.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
It is certainly certainly a karma alarma will go to
that direction. But right now, let's get you caught up
on everything going on in the overnight. I can hear
him turning his MinC on right now and shuffling his papers,
a man that will be polishing Bruins all season on
his local job.
Speaker 7 (25:06):
Yeah, Bryan, you know, it's amazing how they lose one
game and now their fans are saying they're not going
to win another game the rest of the season. I'm
not going that far. I mean, come on, guys, but
it is looking all too really Is it.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
True they're trying to schedule a money game with the
School of the Blind?
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Is they trying to get that?
Speaker 7 (25:23):
I think that's your alma mater. I think that's where
they had that done. Did he still have a football
team or do they change that into like a dance team.
I think they did. They did take that away and
then add the dance team.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
Wasting time? Okay, valuabok card is just talk radio time? Okay, Okay,
that'll stop talking.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Yes, all right, thank you for that. Good job, Brian,
all scores right there.
Speaker 8 (25:45):
Very nice.

Speaker 1 (26:05):
Will you call in please?
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Well, no, the lines will be full because everyone will

blue and gold tap tan shoes?

Speaker 1 (26:40):
Fun fun fun fun fact.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Oh, sho hal Tani now has thirteen home runs of
four hundred and forty plus feet so far this season.
That is the second most in a season under the
stat cast.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Ear which only goes back ten day.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
But he's behind Gean Carlos stat who did that with
the Miami Marlins back in the day. Stanton had eighteen
of those home runs, but sho hel Tani with thirteen.
If you only get a few more at bats against
Miami Marlins second basements, I think second basement, I think
he's got a shot to break the all time records.
(27:20):
So that is your bottom of the hour. Fun fact,
very very exciting. All right, let's go to the phones.
We'll say hello to Eenie Meanie, miney mo. Let's go
to Austin, who's in Oklahoma. Hello, Austin, Welcome, Austin has
hung up.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Screw him. Big Daddy in Maine, Hello, big Daddy in Maine. Oh,
mister Matty, big Daddy, congratulations. How many days are we
till the NFL Draft? Hold on, let me see if
I can check here. Let me see you because you're
a Patriots fan? Are you a Patriots fan? Is that corrects?
All right?
Speaker 2 (28:00):
Check here, I've got a I gotta find my clock.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
The NFL.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
I don't think they've set the date. It was usually
late April. So yeah, and right now.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
The Patriots they screwed up. They won a game so.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
They would have the tenth pick in the draft, so
they they got to do a lot more losing.
Speaker 8 (28:20):
Well, you know, I think it's time to uh for
mob draft to give Mike Brable. Look all.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
You are you prepared to Are you want a no
Mayo diet at this point?
Speaker 3 (28:34):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (28:35):
Absolutely, I always was.
Speaker 8 (28:37):
I never had a whole lot of faith in Mayo.
But I think now that we're fulfilled that can contract
your obligation to him that it's time to give him Brable. Look, call,
I think every Patriots fan I knew was okay with
Bill Belichick leaveing as long as we have Mike Brable.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Yeah, I would have preferred Mike Rabel also, But uh,
can you send that out Coop on the social media channels.
I think that we need to send that out that
according to our source, big Daddy, how long you've been
a Patriot fan?
Speaker 9 (29:06):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Since you since when you cut your phone cut out?
Since when? All right? All right, so the fifty plus
year pay.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
You probably don't remember when you were like one years
old pooping your diapers, but uh, you know the age
of reason Patriot fan. That's not that's not unjustified at all.
I think that's a I would if I owned the
Patriots after that performance?
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Did not? Did that not look like a team that
didn't want to be there? That that's what it looks
I knew.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
I did take the Patriots, and I got to pick
every game for the TV show, And although the Thursday
games don't make the TV show obviously because the airs
on Friday and Saturday and Sunday. But I picked the Patriots.
But they looked. I knew right away. I was absolutely
poorked that they did not.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
Want to be there, and they were just lolly gagging
around as I this. They got no shot.
Speaker 8 (29:55):
They got me, he looked like, what did I get?
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Yeah, they were. There was a lot of dazed and
confused looks in general there. So all right, there's a
vote for Mark Rabel. I like it. Yeah, all right,
I didn't hear your phone. I think a moose knocked
down one of the phone. First connection of the year. Well,
you know, I've been to Maine.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
A lot of trees in Maine, a lot of a
lot of trees and a lot of animals, and uh,
it's great fishing. I don't like fish though, so don't
really do much for me.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
Anyway, well, you know, we're going to push back some
of these things we had teased, because we do have
mallard of the third degree, and I'm on time. Mall
about the clock, four the clock, clausibly, all about the clock.
And if I give those those teases right now, I
will butcher the clock. And I do not want to
butcher the clock. I must honor the clock because it's
our Friday show. And the one thing we have one
rule here. What is our rule? Lorraina, that is right,
(30:54):
Do not screw up on Friday because we don't want
to call from our boss on Friday afternoon.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
Going to say Ben, that's right, exactly correct.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
Time nowt for the Insta Trivia more Otani propaganda.

record for most total bases in a multi stolen based
game in the modern era of professional baseball. Again, Dodger
Slugger sho Heo Tani seventeen total bases two steals, breaking
Blank's record for the most total bases in a multi

Mallard of the third degree coming up momentarily. The Hour
of Otani continues. Dodger Slugger Show. Hel Tani, you had
seventeen total basis yesterday and two steals against the Marlins,
breaking blanks record for most total bases in a multi steal.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
Game in the modern era. That is the insta trivia.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
What is the answer, And let's see does anyone know
the answer quickly? Because we do have to get to
malor to the third degree, and we go page down
here the dynamic duo guessed by fergrog I don't recognize
that guy on the right. Pee Wee Reese A great
name from Rod the Ambassador of Bakersfield courtesy Flusher going
(33:32):
with Marcel and Brooklyn pig Cage from Donkeys Sausage. It
has to be the American pie guy guessed by Cowboy Killer.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Who else we have? Ode B McDowell, wonderful name, Odobi
McDowell from alf the Alien Opiner. Juan Pierre from Eke.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
And Roseville, Minnesota, John Taveras who is thirty four today
from Late Night drug tester, Hercules Hernandez from O g
art Puffin Eloy from Compton. It's Brian and Finley's favorite
Padre Tony Gwyn.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
The great late Tony Gwen. What a nice guy he was.
Who else do we have? Daniel Vogelbach from King Rory
Wally Backman former Diamondback manager for about an hour from
I forty Ian Ricky Ricky Ricky run Ricky Ricky Ricky
Ricky from the American Therapist.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
Andy from A Lionel Lakes got it right. Bad job
by him? All right, do you have an answer? Do
you have an answer? Terry and England. By the way
he used your buccaro answer as his answer.
Speaker 7 (34:30):
Right, So I don't even know who that guy is.
I would say it is Mark Reynolds.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
No, the correct answer Kirk Gibson in his year in
the big leagues in.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
Nineteen ninety five. He was back playing for the Tigers
at age thirty eight. Here we go, Here we go,
Here we go, Here we go, Here we go to
the third degree.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
This is one big fan gets grilled.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Well.
Speaker 10 (35:00):
The Tigers are actually closing in on the third and
final wild card spot in the AL, and if they
are able to get into the playoffs, it would be
only the second team in MLB history to make the
postseason after being eight or more games under five hundred
in August. Do you think they'll pull it off, ben.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
I do. I do think they're gonna get the playoffs.
And here's why.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
They are playing well, and they have the second easiest
schedule the rest of the season.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
They still have three games left with the White Sox.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
The Royals, who are crumbling, have a more difficult path
and they don't have much confidence right now. So we
see this every year. Last ten years, we've seen this
not every year, but four or five times. So I
wouldn't be shocked if the Tigers end up in the
American League Championship Series.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
Next.
Speaker 10 (35:43):
During a recent podcast episode, an NBA reporter guaranteed that
Brownie James will be on the Lakers NBA roster on
Opening Night and play in the game.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
Ben, do you agree, Yes, this is a marketing opportunity
for the NBA. It is not about basketball. It's not
about putting the top players on the roster or it
is about having that magic moment, that magic moment Lebron
and his kid next Saint starting.
Speaker 10 (36:06):
Tomorrio Davis spoke with TMZ this week and he said
that he thinks Alvin Kamara is the best running back
in the NFL. It's a bit of a stretch bend,
but where would you actually rank Kamara?
Speaker 2 (36:14):
So you're telling me that a player advocated for his
teammate being the top player in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
Now that is an original take.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
Nobody else has that take, Tomorio David, No, listen, Kamara
is a good player, but he's never been the top guy.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
He's always been like the second, third, fourth guy, fifth guy,
never the top guy. How do we do you pass?
That's all I won? There you go, that's a win.
Speaker 5 (36:36):
I won
Hello and welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our Dumber two original recipe podcast. We try to
build a better mouse trap here. It's the hour of
OTWI Show. Hey, Otani a record breaker fifty to fifty
and how do you categorize this performance? Some are saying
the greatest single day in baseball history for Otani against
(00:23):
the Marlins. Also, why have so many baseball people become
obsessed fixated with this chase for fifty to fifty? And
Dave Roberts, I liked him in that spot, gave a
decree on the Dodgers clinching the postseason spot. We'll dissect
what Roberts had to say. We'll get to all of
it right now. Put your hands together for our number two.
(00:49):
It is being called the greatest night in baseball history. Well,
god me in not beginning of another.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Hour of the Ben Malor Show.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
We are in the air everywhere, Comrades, as we are
your Pulse Plaza, coast, the coast, border, the border and
beyond on the vast and rapidly powerful microphones of FSR,
am monating live from the Fly, the Big Fly, as
(01:27):

I know random Ryan in Carolina, big fan of the
ten thousand, So we have saved this. It's the Hour
(01:58):
of Otani, number two of our show. We talked to
mostly football last hour in our lead This hour from
South Florida, a random mid to late September day in Miami. Miami,
that mecca of baseball, and it took a turn to
the wild side.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
The Dodgers and Marlins locking horns.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Now that's typically a matchup you would not circle La
looking to put the finishing touches on a playoff berth.
Yet again it turns out that the better story was
the subplot, not the main event. And we assume that
you've been listening, you know, and if I haven't told you,
somebody else told you. And you like sports. You're listening
(02:42):
to a sports radio show, so it's plausible that somebody
told you. Even if you're not a baseball fan, even
not a baseball fan, it's a big deal. So sho
Hao Tani becoming the first player in Major League history
to hit fifty home runs and fifty steals in the
same season.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
And he did it in style. He definitely did.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Otani homer not one, not two, but three times, he
stole not one, but two bases, leading the Dodgers to
a football like playoff clinching twenty to four win over
the Miami baseball team.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
The Dodgers did miss the extra point.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Marlin's got a couple of safeties, So good job by
their defense there to pick up a couple of safeties.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
But wait, there's more.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Otani becoming the first player to smash three home runs
and steal two bases in a game. He doubled twice,
had a career best six hits, and set the Dodger
franchise record with ten runs batted in in a.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Single day's performance.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
So let us discuss the question for the panel, how
do you categorize this performance by sho Heotani. So I've
got splitsh splash, Android, and Kawai and we will combine
all of these things together and we are going to
(04:10):
go and hit a moonshot.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Is what we're going to do.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Because one of those home runs Otani that was an
absolute moonshot. I think was the last one who All right,
so now first of all to say that this is
like the greatest of all time and the most important
night in baseball, don't be a prisoner of the all Okay,
The fact is it was a wonderful performance. There's some
fine print we'll get to in a minute, but the
(04:34):
fact that abrout ninety percent of the Dodger fan base
in Los Angeles was either at work or stuck in
gridlock traffic. It was good for the flagship radio station,
which we happened to beyond AM five seventy in LA,
the home of the show, the Dodger Flagship, because he
had to be listening to that on the radio. Probably
didn't watch it on TV because you were stuck in traffic.
(04:55):
But a story book has been mentioned. The greatest individual performance,
I swear I remember years ago a player named Mark Witten,
hard hitting Mark Whitton hitting four home runs and having
twelve RBIs in the game for the Saint Louis Cardinals.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
But I digress.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
But listen, this was monster mashing. And I'm not here
to belittle Otani.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
This was a.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Member of the Ohio State Band, the Ohio State marching band,
dotting the eye.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
The susophone player. I believe the susophone dotting the eye.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
This was a big splitsh splash razmatazz all that, all right,
this is putting an exclamation point on your season and
winning an MVP Award as a designated hitter. If it
was ever a race, which it really wasn't. It's over now.
Even though all Toddy does is pinchhit. He doesn't pitch,
(05:48):
he doesn't play the field. All he does is hit,
and he does very well with that. So he brought
the boogie woogie.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Now. In terms of the big picture, this is an
unpopular opinion. I like the dog. I want to see
the Dodgers win the World sairsvery year. I want to
see win the World Series.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
But my opinion of Autani, when you get seven hundred
million dollars, I know most of it's deferred because of
California's lunatic politics and taxation, but seven hundred million dollars,
these are the kind of things that you're supposed to do, right,
These are the kind of things you're supposed to do.
You get paid a premium and yet paid that money
because the Dodgers were betting on the fact of Toni's interpreted.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Its the thing or two about betting.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
But you pay a premium because you got a guy
that has a cheat code and he has it right,
whatever it is, he has it, and so he's meeting expectations,
obviously going a little bob expectations because no one's ever
done this.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
There's some panache to it.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
And now you got to bring home the bacon in
the playoffs, playoffs, and you got to find the treasure man.
Now the fine print part of this. You're not supposed
to say this part out loud, but I can't help myself.
That's why I'm doing overnights and I'm not part of
the mainstream.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Is the fun.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Final blow for Otani came against a second basement that
just threw it right down the middle. Right, that's a
batting practice. Here you go, let's see how far you
can hit it. So you do have to factor that.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
In a little bit. Right now. I wasn't around for
some of these other amazing performances.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Maybe the same thing happened, you know, maybe Babe Ruth
back in the day pictures on the other team grooved it.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
You know, some Red Sox guy grooved it when Ruth
was on the Yankees. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
All I know is what I saw, And what I
saw was Otani hit a ball to the moon. I
think that went down to Cuba from Miami from the
bat of Otani, and I believe that was off a
two twenty four hitting second basement all right now. Secondly,
the other thought I had was why so many baseball
people And these are people that I know, some of
(07:50):
them I worked with back in the day, who are
absolutely obsessed with the Otani fifty to fifty obsessed with it.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Right, this is like the biggest thing, like their pants off.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
They're so exciting and and my answer to that is evolutionary,
that's my answer, right, And human beings we all.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Have this in common. We love round numbers.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
And I've determined as I've gotten older in life that
our brains are kind of like android phones. That we
don't realize this, but when you're born, uh, you know,
when you arrive in the world, you're pre loaded with
a few different sets of apps. And one of the
apps that we all have is our minds are hardwired
to prefer round numbers, those nice, sweet round numbers over
(08:41):
irregular numbers, even when even when the irregular option means
a better deal. Overall, it's very bizarre, but it's true.
And there's some mind hacks that I don't need to
get into it here because you know you're probably boridating mind.
But things I've learned from the advertised world, what they'll do,
(09:01):
certain price points that they have that they know people
will buy. Even if it was more expensive, it would
people would think it's a better deal based on how
many cents are in the total. But in terms of
this conversation with Otani, for reference, fifty home runs is
a much sexier It is a more satisfying number than
(09:22):
fifty one home runs, which he currently has. Round numbers
just make you tangle. Round numbers make you tangle. In sports,
they do. It's a bizarre quirk. And the people that
study this that I guess you call them nerds, But
from what I've read over the years, it's it's because
we have ten fingers and ten toes unless you're a
(09:43):
former Marlins pitcher named Antonio Alfonseka who had six.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Fingers and six toes on each well each hand.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
So I can see a twelve and twelve not let's
still a round number anyway, final thought in clinching the
playoff Berth, Let's get to the big picture for the Dodger.
In christing of a playoff birth, the Dodgers had a
double toast. Now, they first toasted Shoho Tani. Then Dave
Roberts gave a speech in the clubhouse. And rather than
(10:12):
me give you the correspondence of Dave roberts speech, let
me give you I'll give you about a minute block.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Here here is Dave Roberts. He's holding champagne.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
I believe that was champagne there in the Dodger clubhouse,
the visiting clubhouse there in Miami. And here's Dave Roberts
addressing his team as they get back into October baseball.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
So tonight, I think you guys all know we clinched
a postseason bird. And for those of you guys who
have never been to the postseason, there's nothing like it.
This is what we all play for, it to get
an opportunity to play for that trophy. And I just
want to say this, guys, this is the first step.
(10:51):
We all know that the talent is our floor. The
talent in this room is the floor. The character and
a fight is a ceiling for all of us. So, guys,
we got to count on each other to fight and
show the character that we all believe we have, and
we know who we are to play that last game
(11:11):
and win that last game in October.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
So cheers to you guys.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
Congratulations fellas.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Everybody can grab your guys, all right.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
So the crowd goes wild and all that. Dave roy
it sounded a little bit like Jordan, remember Michael Jordan.
But he said the ceiling is the roof, that famous
line from Jordan back in the day. So let's discuss
the postgame speech there from Dave Roberts, his decree in
the Dodger playoff clinching win. How do you dissect that?
(11:40):
So I would say it was measured and appropriate. I
love taking shots at Dave Roberts.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
I do it fun. Really liked him in that spot.
But this is what you have to do right. You
can't get all worked up right. You can't be the
Milwaukee Brewers. You're the Dodgers. There's no joy in Mudville.
The Dodgers are in a different class.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
They spend more money than anybody, They've got better resources
than anybody.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
They shred more arms than anybody. In their pitching staff.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
They're not judged by simply making the playoffs, and every man.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Woman and child knows this.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
It's it's like the famous oasis in Kawhi Tunnels Beach.
You have to have tunnel vision and buckle up and
the couple of things Robert said there that stood out
to me. I know they can't give they don't give
out trophies in September and all that. But Roberts mentioned
the character, which is to me, it's code for guts
and guile and machismo. And so does that mean the
(12:35):
recent Dodger teams have lacked guts? Is that what he's
saying because to win in October? It sounded to me
I'm just going by what he said that you got
to count each other, you gotta show character.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
That was the word he used. You gotta believe in
each other.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
And so that that goes back to synonyms for the
word character would be uh, like I said, machiezmo, gots
all that stuff and prepare, prepare, beat me, buckle up, buccaroo,
because you're gonna be scrutinized, despised, politicized, dramatized, chastised, analyzed, moralized, stigmatized, sensationalized,
and criticized.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
It's going to happen, especially if you screw up.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
The roller coaster ride is open for business coming up
in in October. Also later this hour, we will get
Dave Roberts did something that was hilarious that we will
we will share with you. You're gonna want to hear that, lay.
I'll get to that later in the hour. Also in
addition to that, as we move forward, here a karma alarma,
(13:37):
A karma alarma.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
In the sporting world. What is that all about? Yeah, yeah,
that's that's that's a good one. That's a good one. Well,
it's my opinion.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
It's a good when you'll have to be the judge
of that, you are the consumer, but I think it's
a good.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
So we'll get to that coming up here in a
little bit.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
We'll take your calls also on x at ben Mahlord
that is at MA if you'd like to be part
and we are on X and so you can hit
us up there and also all the other social media
channels that we are available on. But the Karma Alarma,
the Karma Alarma will get to that and we will.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Do it next.

Speaker 7 (15:28):
Step into a world of imagination. The Ben Mallor Show
has an unlimited marketing budget. We need your assistance in
growing the congregation of the mald Militia.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
How do you do it?
Speaker 7 (15:39):
Tag mal related content on all social media networks. You
are the missing jigsaw puzzle piece to unlock the Ben
Mallor Show to new comrades. Now let's get it back
to Ben's daily dose of good vibes.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
We are rolling through the overnight. By the way, big news.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
I check with my my line making guy and he
tells me that Saddleback College will be a seven point
favorite against UCLA this year.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
That's how bad the Bruins are. So is man? What
a does backle?
Speaker 3 (16:11):
That is?
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Holy?
Speaker 7 (16:12):
Well, it's it's funny you bring that up because you've
been really quiet about your rams. I wonder why can't
figure that one? Out for some reason.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Well that's what about is him. But the topic is
UCLA football. Now, are you doing the postgame show.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
For the Bruns?
Speaker 8 (16:24):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Will we do?
Speaker 7 (16:25):
Yes, I'll be doing the post game yeah, I know,
looking forward to this one on Saturday games.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
All right? That all that would be a good game.
Maybe they might even lose the pregame warm up to
the Bruins. My god, I I oh man, are you
gonna call in? Are you going to call in?
Speaker 2 (16:40):
I want you to know, Brian, I'm so old as
Lorena calls me the old man. She calls me grandpa,
not a grandpa, but anyway, and I'm not much older
than her.
Speaker 9 (16:49):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
I don't know how shows how old she is, but
I did bruin talk.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
The single worst UCLA football bruin talk was local radio
in La.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
It was the late nineties. They were one win away from.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Going to the to the college football Playoff at whatever
it's called at the time.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
They had a makeup game.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
There was a game against Miami that was postponed because
of a hurricane, so they played at the end of
the year. They had a believe, a seventeen point lead
in the third quarter. All they have to do is
hold on, they win the game. It was such a debacle.
The FBI investigated. They thought that the Bruins had thrown
the game. They literally investigate a game. And I was
(17:26):
doing the postgame talk show at that time after the game,
and it went very smoothly.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
How did you spin it? How did you spin it?
After that?
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Well, the problem is, I don't think I spun it
because that's the last time I ever did that, So
I don't know that I was I wasn't successful at
spinning it. But if you want some tips, I mean,
I don't know if I'm the right person to talk to,
but yeah, you're just you're gonna have to talk a
lot about NIL the futures. But you might want to
go like memory memory Lane, you know, interview Bob Toledo.
(17:55):
Ibo's still around, but I gets some of Cade McNown
some of those old UCLA players from from back in
the day. Hey, but man, that is were I looked
at this. They played in Indiana right the other night
they played Indiana.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Yeah, they lost in just lose, no no, no, they
that was like, oh my god, that was like wait
a minute, dude, you're in the Big ten. Now you
can't be losing to Indiana. Nobody loses to Indiana. I
like losers.
Speaker 7 (18:19):
This losers fan of losers, and he's got Eric b
Enemy as the offensive coordinator with all of his NFL experience.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
That's that's an well, it would appear at this point
just based on the.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Small sample size. All right, let's take some calls here.
Let's say hello to eenye meanie Mighty Moe. Let's say
hi to Angry Bill, who's saying Jacksonville, Hello, Angry Bill.
Speaker 9 (18:47):
Hello, gentlemen, Lorena, how you doing? Ben? When you mentioned
it and you hit it right on your head. The
big problem with the Dodgers they probably have from what
I can remember, and that goes back a long way
because I'm an old man, the pressure for them to
win could wind up being unbearable, Okay, unfortunately. I mean,
(19:12):
you know, they've had the tiny season. The Dodgers like
their season, but the problem is they're pitching sucks and
not sucks, but they're they're coming from the hospital. Everybody's hurt,
and that's unfortunate, and I feel so bad for it.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
I mean, you know, you sound like you're very upset,
you're very angry with you.
Speaker 9 (19:34):
I don't know how many guys got cutting nerve in
the hospital with their arms holding between their layouts.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Yeah it's let me tell you, angry Brough.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
The Dodgers have shredded so many elbows and shoulders that
they actually have a discount rate at Costco now on surgery.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
They've had that many operations for their pictures. It's unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
But the whole pressure thing drives me nuts. Right, stop
uh pressure, you should be happy. Would rather play for
the Marlins? You have no pressure? Who wants that?
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Come on?
Speaker 2 (20:06):
At the whole point of sports is to be in
the whole, the whole sport, the whole the whole idea
of sport. Like when when we're growing up, right as kids,
you're like, all right, ninth inning if you're a baseball player,
ninth inning, Game seven of the World Series, two outs,
you know you're down by a wrong guy. You know,
runner on base. You gotta get a hit, right, You
gotta perform under pressure.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
So the whole point is to be in the boiling
cauldron and to get your job done. And like, well
you know there's too much pressure, why but stop that's ridiculous.
Then you suck if you can't handle the pressure. You
suck exactly that outside. The Yankees suck. The Yankee suck.
Speaker 9 (20:44):
Yankees. They're playing great baseball.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Don't start you stop the Yankees about a fraud franchise.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
The Yankees are, My god, we you know we call
the Yankees. We call the Yankees the East Coast Dodgers
is what we call the Yankees. That's what we call them.
Speaker 9 (20:58):
You don't want to compare it, you know, compare world series.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
I'm barely I'm barely old enough to remember the last
time the Yankees were in the World Series. My god,
it's been so long.
Speaker 9 (21:11):
You got no damn memory. What do you want from me?
And you're knocking Derek Jeter? What a bum you are?
Speaker 1 (21:18):
How did I knock there? And I said, he say,
he's he's Paul Maltor's what he is, He's Paul Pinstris garbage.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Oh stop, my god, Derek Jeter, God, you're a loser, fanboy.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
I go go away, thank you.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Another Baffosco colossal waste of our time with Angry Bill.
As the hits keep going there one after another, uh supermarket,
Steve writes in He's he's up with us all night.
He says, I'm pretty sure somewhere along the way the
nineteen twenty seven Yankees were blowing out some team and
they brought in the center fielder who grooveed one one
(21:57):
to Babe Ruth. So what did it matter if it
was number sixty or number twenty three. It's still counted
as one of the home runs. Yeah, but the degree
of difficulty, I know this is probably too much for
you to grasp through Mangert, Steve, but the degree of
difficulty when a second baseman is grooving a batting practice,
you know, sixty eight mile on our pitch down the middle,
(22:19):
and that of a traditional pitcher who throws in the
high eighties, low nineties or higher is slightly slightly different.
Late night drug tester says, was hoping you wouldn't recognize
the Royals not losing yesterday. Of course they had the
day off. No, they actually lost on the day off.
(22:41):
They lost. One of the players lost as car keys,
and so that became became an issue. Alf the Alien
opiner says. If you think that all this hullabaloo for
Otani is over, just wait until the Mala Militia fifty
to fifty celebration next April.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Yeah, you know, how many promotions are they gonna have?
Speaker 9 (23:03):
They?
Speaker 1 (23:03):
You know, the like fifty fifth Well, of course the
fifty to fifty raffle, which I think they already have.
They can do that. Let's see, what about a fifty
to fifty cake, half vanilla, half chocolate.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Oh, or how about a black and white cookie, which
is like the fifty to fifty cookie, right, black and white,
great Deli cookie with the frosting on top.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Ferg Dog says I'm loving all this local sports talk. Dodgers, Rams, Bruins,
Gauchos are the Angels? Are Titans next? Yeah, stay tuned,
stay tuned. O g art Puffins says Cadillac Ranch was
inspired by Dolphins. Check this out, says Cindy spoke to
the Dolphins.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Yeah. I don't think I'm not gonna read all that,
but I'm happy for you. I'm happy for you.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Yeah, supermarcusive follow up. He says, I have to agree
with angry Angry Bill. When I was young and I
was out practicing on the pitching machine, I was always
imagining my team being nine games out of a playoff
contention because I just want to.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Have fun when I play.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Uh, It's spent a lot of days at the neighborhood
parks playing baseball with my buddies.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
But we didn't often use baseballs like we were heathens.
We use racquetballs, golf balls, a boy.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
A metal bat, and a golf ball. You can you
can hit a ball like Barry Bonds all routered up
back in the day. You can hit a Bouco home
run with that kind of connection.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
You really can. It is the Ben Mallord Show.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
As we are navigating our way through the overnight, the
red Eye flight continues and later this hour we're gonna
have Mallard to the third degree.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
We've got great audio we're going to play. Of course,
you'll be the judge whether or not it is great audio, but.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
It is certainly certainly a karma alarma will go to
that direction. But right now, let's get you caught up
on everything going on in the overnight. I can hear
him turning his MinC on right now and shuffling his papers,
a man that will be polishing Bruins all season on
his local job.
Speaker 7 (25:06):
Yeah, Bryan, you know, it's amazing how they lose one
game and now their fans are saying they're not going
to win another game the rest of the season. I'm
not going that far. I mean, come on, guys, but
it is looking all too really Is it.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
True they're trying to schedule a money game with the
School of the Blind?
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Is they trying to get that?
Speaker 7 (25:23):
I think that's your alma mater. I think that's where
they had that done. Did he still have a football
team or do they change that into like a dance team.
I think they did. They did take that away and
then add the dance team.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
Wasting time? Okay, valuabok card is just talk radio time? Okay, Okay,
that'll stop talking.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Yes, all right, thank you for that. Good job, Brian,
all scores right there.
Speaker 8 (25:45):
Very nice.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Mellor
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Hey, when when UCLA falls behind by forty five points,
I'll make sure to tune into the postgame show this weekend.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
When is the game on Saturday?
Speaker 2 (25:59):
It's in twelve thirties I think West Coast time, So yeah,
I'll probably be awake for the end of that game.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Will you call in please?
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Well, no, the lines will be full because everyone will
be outraged and they'll be trying to fire the coach
and all that.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
So I gotta I gotta see.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Do you have your tap dance shoes ready? Your powder
blue and gold tap tan shoes?

Fun fun fun fun fact.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Oh, sho hal Tani now has thirteen home runs of
four hundred and forty plus feet so far this season.
That is the second most in a season under the
stat cast.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Ear which only goes back ten day.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
But he's behind Gean Carlos stat who did that with
the Miami Marlins back in the day. Stanton had eighteen
of those home runs, but sho hel Tani with thirteen.
If you only get a few more at bats against
Miami Marlins second basements, I think second basement, I think
he's got a shot to break the all time records.
(27:20):
So that is your bottom of the hour. Fun fact,
very very exciting. All right, let's go to the phones.
We'll say hello to Eenie Meanie, miney mo. Let's go
to Austin, who's in Oklahoma. Hello, Austin, Welcome, Austin has
hung up.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Screw him. Big Daddy in Maine, Hello, big Daddy in Maine. Oh,
mister Matty, big Daddy, congratulations. How many days are we
till the NFL Draft? Hold on, let me see if
I can check here. Let me see you because you're
a Patriots fan? Are you a Patriots fan? Is that corrects?
All right?
Speaker 2 (28:00):
Check here, I've got a I gotta find my clock.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
The NFL.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
I don't think they've set the date. It was usually
late April. So yeah, and right now.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
The Patriots they screwed up. They won a game so.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
They would have the tenth pick in the draft, so
they they got to do a lot more losing.
Speaker 8 (28:20):
Well, you know, I think it's time to uh for
mob draft to give Mike Brable. Look all.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
You are you prepared to Are you want a no
Mayo diet at this point?
Speaker 3 (28:34):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (28:35):
Absolutely, I always was.
Speaker 8 (28:37):
I never had a whole lot of faith in Mayo.
But I think now that we're fulfilled that can contract
your obligation to him that it's time to give him Brable. Look, call,
I think every Patriots fan I knew was okay with
Bill Belichick leaveing as long as we have Mike Brable.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Yeah, I would have preferred Mike Rabel also, But uh,
can you send that out Coop on the social media channels.
I think that we need to send that out that
according to our source, big Daddy, how long you've been
a Patriot fan?
Speaker 9 (29:06):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Since you since when you cut your phone cut out?
Since when? All right? All right, so the fifty plus
year pay.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
You probably don't remember when you were like one years
old pooping your diapers, but uh, you know the age
of reason Patriot fan. That's not that's not unjustified at all.
I think that's a I would if I owned the
Patriots after that performance?
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Did not? Did that not look like a team that
didn't want to be there? That that's what it looks
I knew.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
I did take the Patriots, and I got to pick
every game for the TV show, And although the Thursday
games don't make the TV show obviously because the airs
on Friday and Saturday and Sunday. But I picked the Patriots.
But they looked. I knew right away. I was absolutely
poorked that they did not.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
Want to be there, and they were just lolly gagging
around as I this. They got no shot.
Speaker 8 (29:55):
They got me, he looked like, what did I get?

Yeah, they were. There was a lot of dazed and
confused looks in general there. So all right, there's a
vote for Mark Rabel. I like it. Yeah, all right,
I didn't hear your phone. I think a moose knocked
down one of the phone. First connection of the year. Well,

he used your buccaro answer as his answer.
Speaker 7 (34:30):
Right, So I don't even know who that guy is.
I would say it is Mark Reynolds.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
No, the correct answer Kirk Gibson in his year in
the big leagues in.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
Nineteen ninety five. He was back playing for the Tigers
at age thirty eight. Here we go, Here we go,
Here we go, Here we go, Here we go to
the third degree.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
This is one big fan gets grilled.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Well.
Speaker 10 (35:00):
The Tigers are actually closing in on the third and
final wild card spot in the AL, and if they
are able to get into the playoffs, it would be
only the second team in MLB history to make the
postseason after being eight or more games under five hundred
in August. Do you think they'll pull it off, ben.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
I do. I do think they're gonna get the playoffs.
And here's why.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
They are playing well, and they have the second easiest
schedule the rest of the season.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
They still have three games left with the White Sox.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
The Royals, who are crumbling, have a more difficult path
and they don't have much confidence right now. So we
see this every year. Last ten years, we've seen this
not every year, but four or five times. So I
wouldn't be shocked if the Tigers end up in the
American League Championship Series.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
Next.
Speaker 10 (35:43):
During a recent podcast episode, an NBA reporter guaranteed that
Brownie James will be on the Lakers NBA roster on
Opening Night and play in the game.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
Ben, do you agree, Yes, this is a marketing opportunity
for the NBA. It is not about basketball. It's not
about putting the top players on the roster or it
is about having that magic moment, that magic moment Lebron
and his kid next Saint starting.
Speaker 10 (36:06):
Tomorrio Davis spoke with TMZ this week and he said
that he thinks Alvin Kamara is the best running back
in the NFL. It's a bit of a stretch bend,
but where would you actually rank Kamara?
Speaker 2 (36:14):
So you're telling me that a player advocated for his
teammate being the top player in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
Now that is an original take.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
Nobody else has that take, Tomorio David, No, listen, Kamara
is a good player, but he's never been the top guy.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
He's always been like the second, third, fourth guy, fifth guy,
never the top guy. How do we do you pass?
That's all I won? There you go, that's a win.
Speaker 5 (36:36):
I won
