Speaker 2 (00:01):
Welcome, it's our number one of a base ball heavy
Our number one will start. We'll start with the American
League side of the wild card bracket. How did you
react to the cheating Astros being exterminated from the baseball playoffs? Also,
that famous cheater Jose Alboove has urged the a Holes
(00:26):
to sign back fellow cheat Alex Bregman, saying.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Make him stay. What does that signal to you?
Speaker 2 (00:34):
And are the gunner Henderson Orioles going to be tormented
by losing yet again in the playoffs, not winning a
stinking game, no offense in Baltimore. We'll talk about that
as well as all coming away right now, give it
up to our number one on this Thursday, take it
(00:55):
a bite.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Out of crime.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
The bad guys are out. The bad guys are out
on the baseball playoffs. Yeah, well come In the beginning
of the other night of the Ben Malors Show, we
are in the.
Speaker 5 (01:12):
Air everywhere using audio frequency as we provide purely auditory
illusions of the mind coast to coast.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Putting the water and beyond all the mast. Indefinitely powerful
microphones of FS are am monating live from the mound
as we spit audio, curveballs all night long. We're broadcasting
live from the tirect dot com studios. Tirect dot com
will help you get there an unmatched selection, fast, free shipping,
(01:50):
free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended installers,
all many almost as many tears as Ivan the Terrible
in Houston started crying. Not Noah in Austin, though I
think he enjoyed the outcome. Tire raccot Com the way
tire buying should be. So our lead is from October baseball,
(02:11):
and for the purposes of this show, we're gonna start
in our little world where it matters most, the American
League side of the bracket and the big story out
of the lone Star state. And if you didn't see it,
perhaps not somebody named Andy Banyes.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
We don't really know who that is, but we like him.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Andy Abanes hit a tie breaking three run double in
a four run eighth for the Detroit baseball team as
the Tigers. The Terrible Tigers sweep the Cheating a Shows
(02:53):
five to two of the final in game two. Noda
Da da, goodbye, you cheating a holes, you losers ha done?
What a waste two games at out You pathetic pieces
of crap, the a holes from Houston.
Speaker 6 (03:15):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Oh, it was so good.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
I don't even know half these guys are the Tigers are,
but I like them.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
And I don't like it as.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Much because aj Hinch, the manager of the Tigers, is
the old astro trash there but another no name, Parker Meadows.
Parker is our fake name. Parker medals Yeah homework. Detroit
ending a run of seven consecutive appearances in the America.
(03:43):
Houston's run is over from Detroit winning the seven consecutive
American League Championship Series appearances. So Detroit will play the
Cleveland Guardians and a matchup not made for television in
the American League Divisional Series, and the winner of that
matchup will go to the Final four of the American League.
(04:05):
But the better story is in the losing locker room.
It's always a great day. We always look forward to
this Day's you just you're happy. You don't really know
why you're happy. You you're just happy. It's just good.
It's just good all the way around. So how did
you react to the cheating a stros meekly being eliminated
(04:30):
from the postseason.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
So I've got feline Tim Allen and.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Secret recipe, and we will combine all of these things together,
and we are going to make a nice vacation. Because
you're on vacation. No need to worry about baseball if
you're an astro until sometime in February when spring training
gets underway. But my first thought here after I was
(04:56):
I was watching from the comfort of the mal or
sofa there and join the festivities, and then a little
concern maybe the Tigers would gag ear and into some
offense there late to turn the game around. I had
to sound off because I hate most of these broadcasts,
just so I had to sound off. I would classify
my reaction as I.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Was singing Nana Na Na good bye. As I was
doing that, I would classify it.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
As a feline like reaction, or go, that's the cats
me out right there, that's the cats me out. And
I had a cheshire cat smile from ear to ear
on my I.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Was so happy.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
I was, ah, this is great, man. We only get
this day once a year. It's so much fun. I
wish we could do it more than once. Maybe we
could have like double triple elimination. So good, right, really
a good day for baseball fans, not baseball itself, because
they insulated and protected the cheating a holes. They protected them.
They're still protecting them to this day. Rob Manfroud, the commissioner.
(06:00):
But the team from Houston losing their mojo, and I
guess they've got an upgrade and talk about trash cans
and buzzers and they've got to get better contraband there
in Houston. But there jumped the Shark moment. I was
actually texting a friend of mine does radio back East.
We were going back and forth like the jump to
Shark moment was when we had public nudity from this
(06:25):
baseball team.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
That was it.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
It was all over. It happened in San Diego late
in the season regular season when Jose Albouve thought he
was a Chippendale's dancer there and did a strip tease
showing his ugly, disgusting toes and taking his sock off
like some kind of Neanderthal.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Now it is a crying shame.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
That the Astros, with all of these playoff games have
not won a championship in franchise history, no World Series
to show for all the cheating and all of this
really is a crime shame. I think we can agree
on that now page two here, following the extermination of
(07:07):
the Houston baseball.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Team, how great is it that they're done? They're done.
We've killed the monster. They're dead. So cheater Jose al.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Boovey, the little fella, Jose Alboovey, now he urged, urged publicly,
they cheating asstros to payback in his words, fellow cheat
Alex Bregman, you know the guy with the punchable face
of their Bregman, Yeah, saying make him stay was the
(07:40):
quote from al Booby.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
So what does that tell you? What does that tell you?
Where that signaled to you? All right?
Speaker 2 (07:48):
So for me, my position is Houston obviously is at
a crossroads. It's it's not quite working the same as
it did work there for a while. And al Tuve
he's he's got a small problem. He never has a
big problem. Every problem he has is a small problem.
But he's over in the corner of the room, biting
his fingernails. He's having anxiety here, Altuve, and he's having anxiety.
(08:10):
He's concerned that he's going to become Tim Allen from
the remake of The Last Man Standing. And he didn't
want that I didn't want that, and now we believe
he has a little to worry about. Reason being for
a guy like Alex Bregman, who's a pending free agent
and all these other miserable cheaters, that's a member of
(08:30):
Congress who nicknamed them miserable cheaters, Congressman from Nebraska, I
believe back in the day. Anyway, So for Bregman and
these other guys in Houston that are still tied to it,
the Astros, that's their safe space, you see, that's their
safe space there. Bregman has tangibly less value in every
(08:53):
other Major League Baseball city, because every other major League
Baseball fan base would be like, we want with that guy?
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Why we want that guy? Guy's a punk? What that
got our team? Come on?
Speaker 2 (09:02):
And there's also no other fan base that is morley
bankrupt quite like the Houston Astro fan base. There a
bunch of dopes that supported that crap with no punishment
A right last word here. Well, quickly skidaddle to the
other side of the ale bracket, where Bobby Witt Junior
has now passed Mike trout By in career postseason RBIs.
(09:26):
As he hustled, he beat out an infield single and
drove in the go ahead run and the Royals have
saying turnout the lasts. The parties over for the Orioles.
They're done two to one. The final at Camden Yards
two games sweep aeroo. Question for the esteem panel, are
(09:49):
the Gunner Henderson Orioles going to be tormented by losing
yet again in the playoffs? So I'm nodding my head, Yes,
I believe that to be the case here and Baltimore
they are not paper tigers. They're paper birds, bird brains
in this time of the year, here, in this era,
(10:13):
this part of the ore that they tanked for years
to get all these top players, and yet they really
are putting the o in oriole this time of the year.
Was it ten straight playoff losses of the anemic offense.
Gunner Henderson they're one of the big headliners on the
Orioles zero for seven in the series. Adlie Rushman one
(10:35):
for eight, Anthony Santander one for eight. Baltimore's all star roster,
their lineup of all stars suffered a malfunction of epic proportions.
They did the thing you can't do it at the time,
you can't do it. They sucked at a time you
can't suck. There's no other way to say it. Now,
(10:55):
if you look at the way sports is operated over
the years, you would say something needs to change. There's
got to be some kind of change in Baltimore. It's
not working that they're fine during the regular season and
then when all the chips are on the line they
get down on their hands and knees and say, I
don't know what to do. I have no idea, but
I would say, don't hold your breath in Baltimore. And
(11:16):
here's why. It is the prototype of modern baseball. It
drives me nuts as someone that grew up in an
era where if you didn't perform well, you were held
accountable and you were fired. Manager was fired, people were traded.
That's not the way baseball's run today. And it's because
of the nerds. The nerds took over and it's the
(11:41):
modern baseball. You've got the cousins of the nerds who
run the Dodgers and the Yankees are in charge of
the Orioles in Maryland. Now, in the previous generation, a
guy like Brandon Hyde, the manager in Baltimore, would be whacked. Now, yeah, yeah,
buzzwords are used there stability and sustainability, that those are
(12:05):
the ones that matter.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Not accountability.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
It's sustainability and stability, not accountability. And the person that
let us know what's really going on with these teams
that don't hold anyone accountable was, of all people, Jerry Depoto,
the GM of the Seattle Mariners, who said, in a
moment of weakness, he took a lot of crap for
this because he said the quiet part out loud, but
(12:28):
he said this a couple years ago. I said that
the secret recipe of nerd ball. He gave it away.
He gave all the spices, all the eleven herbs and
spices away for the secret recipe. And it's never go
all in. You never goll in. No, no, no no.
The goal every year is to win fifty four percent
of your games. He said it, he said. Mariner Jim said,
(12:49):
this is all these teams are using the same same playbook,
right when fifty four percent of your games. To do
that over ten years of time, and almost always you're
going to make the playoffs. Almost every year you'll be
in contention. You'll sell a lot of tickets, a lot
of hot dogs, a lot of popcorn, a lot of beer. Right,
people me engaged, there'll be no apathy. So fifty four
(13:09):
percent of your games you can win. That you'll make
the playoffs most year, some years you won't. You'll find
yourself in the World Series, and at some point you're
going to win the World Series more likely than not
over ten years. That is the secret recipe. That's what
all these teams are doing. And so the oars are like, well,
Brandon hides just a middle manager like Dave Roberts or
(13:30):
Aaron But I'd be very surprised if he gets fired
because they'll just hire someone else that does the same thing.
So what's the point of firing him? You want again
the buzzwords stability and sustainability. It is the Ben Mahlor Show.

but he checked back in. You don't know who Big
rig Rob is this bad job? Are you anyway? He says, my,
oh my, Ben, you absolutely nailed it again. Those fins
one one thousand and two, one thousand holes deserve nothing
but the worst. Those cheating bastards Mega A plus plus
plus tonight, Ben, that's from a big rig Rob. Go
(15:31):
cheated astros, nature Boy writes in, says, no more Astros.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Time to dance. Yeah, I'm by happy dance on. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Nature Boy says, what a tasty treat. Didn't even make
it beyond the wild card game. How embarrassing is home
field advantage? They've lost seven straight home games, seven straight,
old girl, I've in the terrible from the den of iniquity,
writes in. He says, all good, Ben, see you next year.
He says, he's not crying, but he's heartbroken. Yeah, it's
(16:02):
a very sad story, ivan but predictable story. And hey,
elimination day next year likely won't even come in October,
it'll be before then. Although I see the problem is
like teams in the American West aren't even trying, Like
the A's are just forfeitting. They're gonna be in Sacramento
next year. Not even trying. The Angels don't know what
(16:24):
they're doing. They suck, and the Rangers look like The
Rangers look like they use their entire wad of you
know what to win the World Series, and now they're
just kind of doing whatever, fussing around. And then you
got the Mariners who just want to win fifty four
percent of the game and be in contention every year
loss And right, since it's Ben, how about those Royals
(16:47):
one hundred and six losses last year going to the
divisional round this year? Looks like Kansas City just has
Baltimore's number, no matter if it's football or baseball. Been
waiting for this moment from the Royals for nine years,
nine long years for loss in And he says, f
the Yankees, Well, let's see about that, good man. That's
(17:11):
like old school. You're an old fart. You remember the
Yankees and the Royals and big playoff games and big games,
and the Royals used to be in the playoff team.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
All problems on the road for the American sound with
the White Sox. I had no problem Texas.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
On the road just bombing away.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
I was I was sandbagged by the fired I tell
you what, happened that it was. What happened was they
had fired one of the dopey producers for Tony Bruno show,
was our morning guy, and on his way out, he
sabotaged a bunch of audio and then my engineer, the
great Art Martinez, I was doing updates.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
I was not in control of sound.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Art pressed the button then walked away to play a
game on the computers. And I'm sitting there and I'm helpless.
I mean, he's just he the button walks away and
I'm like bagging in my hand on it.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
What are you doing? And he wasn't listening at all,
because you don't nobody listen.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
I was about Yeah, I was breaking every child labor
law when they hired me here, every child labor law,
digital space, monkey rights and says f Minus been Well,
he must be a fan of the cheaters. He says,
you didn't mention your level of concern facing the Podres
and the NLDS. The Dodgers are gearing up for their
annual collapse.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Now I'm not.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Worried about the Podres. What a minor league outfit the
Podreys are. Seriously, I'm embarrassing for San Diego. My god, pathetic,
not worried about that. Now the Dodgers will show up,
They'll the other advance for television ratings purposes.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
They will they will move on.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Mike in the Mountains, rights In says the Oreoles kind
of want to win, need experienced skipper. But all these
managers are supposedly all of them know how to manage
the old school guys. They're all ancient. They're none like
in between age. They're either ancient or their puppet number
(19:10):
geek managers. Yeah, that's about right. You got Bruce Bochi
who was like an old geezer. Just Bud Black at.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
This point would be considered an old geezer as.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
Well, Bob Bob Melvin, like those classic guys. And then
you got all the super nerd kool Aid drinkers that
are after that.
Speaker 6 (19:29):
Lately, I think the problem with the Orioles helmet man
lost his helmet.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
No, the problem with the Oils is sports with Coleman
did not use his free concession stand card that he
got from the Oils, thinking he could save it, but
it expires. He was texting me from Camden Yards the
other day and he's covering this. He was covering the
series for the media in Baltimore, and so they they
gave you a voucher to buy food at the concession
(19:58):
stands media media. So he chose to hold on to it,
thinking he could double up for Game two, but it expired,
so he'd wasted. He wasted like twenty bucks that he
could have used on food on Booms barbecue.
Speaker 6 (20:14):
Devastating.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
It's a terrible decision and as a rookie mistake.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
This guy's been in the media business longer than me
sports with Coleman, you'd think he'd be able to know
that if Major League Baseball did not put an end
date on that, every media hack would save that and
load up on all kinds of delicious food later on.
I mean, so, of course, come on, all right, who
(20:38):
else do we have to see? Page down? Fer Dog says,
is it really necessary to continue to take shots at
mister October, Mike Trout, Bobby Waits, j Andre off to
the great start, but he's got a long ways to
go to match the Millbille Medior's postseason success, says ferg
Dog as he starts crying over the the keyboard.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
There who else do we have? Page down?
Speaker 2 (21:04):
The cowboy, Drew says, I created myself to play for
the Brewers in Major League Baseball twenty four MLB twenty four.
It's August in my roomy season and I'm at fifty
four home runs. Well, good for you, Absolutely good for you.
(21:24):
Let's go to the phones. We'll stay Hello to boy Angry.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Bill.
Speaker 6 (21:31):
Early in the show for Angry Bill.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
You want me to put them on hold, I put
you on hold. You should not be in the first
hour of the show, Angry Bill. Right, you're not a
first hour guy. You're like a fourth hour guy. You're
not a first hour guy.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
Well, what I want to talk about is very important
to what you were just talking about. I've talked about
in the past with the one picture, one inning system
that I wrote. If you look at the box scores
of all the playoff games so far. So let's talk
about specifically about the Tigers. They used it to a
(22:02):
perfect team if you look at it. They went right
down the line, used my system and they won the game.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Yeah. I saw a J.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Hinch after the game said it was the Angry Bill system.
That's what he said, said that.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
I already just you know, I already put a phone
call into my connection with the Tigers. Artie Byler, who
read my system twenty years ago as a coordinator with
the Tigers.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
How did your system work out for the Mets? I'm
asking for a friend, how did that work out?
Speaker 3 (22:33):
Who said the Mets choose my system?
Speaker 2 (22:36):
I didn't bringing in relief fetchers until one of them
vomited all over himself.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
I didn't specifically go through the met one.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
I was sificutly trying to believe.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
That's called the legal term for that is a live
by omission. Phil Mayitan, the relief fetcher for the Mets.
There number eighty eight in your program. He also gave
up eighty eight runs to the Brewers in his outing.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
Okay, talking about it, we're talking about the Tiger game.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Well, I know, but your system, you're talking about baseball here.
How about you know the Mets they went to their
boy kept going to the bullpen right and bring in
three relief fisures into one of them pukes.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
All over himself.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
Oh, I don't know how they used my system. I
didn't watch that or check it out. Going about the
Tigers box score and you see him use the perfection whoever.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Well, they didn't actually use it to perfection because you
say one pitcher one inning and the Astros opponent. There
the Tigers used one, two, three, four, five, six, seven pitchers,
but they actually went nine innings. You see the problem there,
So they didn't use one picture per any.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
Ben. I'm trying to go through something that was I
thought fairly important. You want to play games, go play
your goddamn game, all.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Right, I'll go play the game. Is the Ben Mallor show.
That was a man that was defeated. You'll hear that
on the podcast. Will be up shortly after.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
We get done.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Angry Bill, No, he needs he needs meds. You know,
he's he's an older guy. I don't think he's got
good insurance and so you got to have as a
pre existing condition. He's from New Jersey.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
He's an a hole, so hitting the campaign trail.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Alex Bregman trying to weaponize the fans of the cheating
a one one thousand and two one thousand holes. He
sent out on social media a note saying thank you
ahead of becoming a free agent.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
That was trying to get a hold of the fans
of the Cheaters to put pressure on the franchise in
order for him to get more money from them because
he didn't want to go anywhere else. He knows that
he is only beloved there. There will be no real
love anywhere other than there from a fan base because
(24:56):
of what he has done, and he is forever been
given the Scarlett Letter.
Speaker 7 (25:02):
Be sure to catch live editions of the Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 6 (25:08):
Do you have an update on the Devonte Adams situation. Yes,
we do. I'm sure Ben'll be talking about it later.
There's some fine audio to be played with Antonio Pierce,
the head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders. But as
far as Adams and not expected to play against the
Broncos on Sunday because of his hamstring issue, as far
as where he could go, reports are that the Jets
and Saints are on the list where his old quarterbacks
(25:30):
are at of course, Aaron Rodgers in New York and
Derek Carr in New Orleans.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Those are Devanta. Adams doesn't want to win. If those
are the teams you don't want to win.
Speaker 6 (25:38):
Jets and Cowboys reportedly have reached out to the Raiders
inquiring about Adams.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
But you guys, a loser, Devanta state losers. He's awesome.
Speaker 6 (25:45):
Where he goes winners get out of that's Raiders organization.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
The greatness of the Raiders awful, you know, deserving. It
is the Ben Mahler Show.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
As we are rolling through the overnights, the first hour
of baseballly a couple hours on baseball here, next hour
we'll get to the National League side of the bracket
and the end of Tommy John surgery. About this, now,
this is a bizarre one. It does not seem like
this is a way you would make this kind of announcement.
But the New York Yankees team doctor went on social
(26:17):
media and said that later on today this is our
Thursday show, they will be unveiling a revolutionary advancement in
Tommy John surgery. Now, the claims being made are that
this is going to change the game and it's a
new era in ligament reconstruction. They claim to be offering
(26:42):
baseball players at all levels a faster, smoother recovery. Yeah,
fewer setbacks, extended career longevity. Sounds a little bit like
snake oil, but we'll see what they say. Keep an
open mind there. Tommy John surgery, they take a ligament
from one part of your body and they move to another.
(27:04):
They take a cadaver ligament and they put that in
your body. What Yeah, that's Tommy John your ligament in
your elbow, and.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
They have to they take it from a cadaver. Yeah,
sometimes they use a cadaver.
Speaker 6 (27:17):
How do they how do they acquire the cadaver ligament? Well,
how do you think they acquire? People? Do people volunt
you like, when you die, do you volunteer? You know, hey,
if you if you use any of my parts, just
go ahead and take care of that.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
As I understand, I don't know if I'm as I
was told years ago. It's like, if you donate your
body to medicine, they take obviously the important stuff first
the heart and whatnot, but then nothing left behind.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
They chop you all off my body.
Speaker 6 (27:40):
You ever known anybody that has done that?
Speaker 2 (27:42):
My aunt aunt Sadie, Yes, never never buried her. I
live in Chicago and a great one loved her to death,
and she apparents she did die, so I guess I
did love her to death, but she uh, she donated
her body in medicine and that was it.
Speaker 8 (27:56):
Do they like take precautions to make sure that they
don't harvest your no, that you're not in class and
they roll out the cadaver and it's and it's your aunt.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
Oh no, I don't know anything about that, Cooper.
Speaker 8 (28:10):
I'm just saying, like, I imagine that would be pretty traumatic.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
They gotta I don't know how that all works. I
really don't want to know. It's not something I'm interested in,
to be honest, I'm not.
Speaker 8 (28:23):
Well because it was an interesting question because Eddie's like,
do you know anybody, And I don't know anybody that
I don't I don't know, but I remember going to
college and then.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
Yeah, they bring out the Yeah, they took out the
whole body.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Yeah, stop it.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
And by the way, I've heard, I've heard through the
grapevine that like those like there's people that died in
like the you know, sixties, they're still using them. No, yeah,
they just put them back on the foe and uh,
you know, yeah, that is a.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Very coolish situation. I just talked about Tommy John's I did.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
I just mentioned in passing that they sometimes have to
use the cadaver ligament.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
I have the perfect comeback song.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
Oh boy, I can only imagine, I can only imagine anyway.
It is the Ben Mather Show. As we roll on,
here's a blast from the past, one of the great
moments in the history of the show. Someday, if they
write a book about this show, they'll have to mention
the day that a listener had a heart attack on
the air and survived, almost killed of my creative thinking.

Yeah you got hey. Check it out though. If the
Cowboys stick up this uh DeVante Adams guy, okay, yeah,
and they put him as a receiver, that would idea
why anyway this uh lay him once the football. The
(31:30):
sooner you can get him the football in the play,
the better.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
And then how about you played How about DeVante plays
defense too? How about that maybe like a safety or
something like that. Put him out in safety, you know, no.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
Nine backer.
Speaker 9 (31:46):
And here's what else do they need to do? Get
rid of that number eleven on defense? Get some people
out of him.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
He's a podcast.
Speaker 9 (31:57):
Cowboys will if they're letting me use the whiteboard, I'll
guide them to the super Bowl with Adams as a
wide out. Lamb has anybody back? He wants a football
and get rid of that parss. Dude, I'm telling you,

A caller when he almost died on the air with
a heart attack. Did we save that sound bite?
Speaker 2 (32:53):
Yes, we did, but way before you were here, way before,
many years ago, many many years back. But it's in
there somewhere. You don't Cardiac Stanley. Can't go wrong with
cardiac Stanley. See here, nature boy says, it's that girl

as the padres of advanced and they're a catcher they're
number nine eter Kyle Higashioka hitting home runs in both games.
He became the fourth catcher to homer in each of
(33:39):
his team's first two games of a single postseason.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
I was the last backstop to do it. Who am I?
Speaker 3 (33:48):

Speaker 2 (34:41):
The catcher Kyle hgoshia Oka hit a home run two
home runs in well one in each game, and he
became the fourth catcher to homer in each of his
team's first two games of a single postseason. I was
the last backstop to do that in October baseball?
Speaker 1 (34:58):
Who am I?
Speaker 9 (35:00):
That?
Speaker 1 (35:00):
The question? What the answer? And let's see does anyone
know the answer?
Speaker 2 (35:04):
Big Lou in the LBC says Donor Ted Williams Thomas
going with good old Jason Veritek is his answer?
Speaker 1 (35:12):
Who else do we have?
Speaker 2 (35:13):
Quick Draw McGraw from Slim Tim, the Amazing Vladimir from
Dat Boy Malk Malcolm.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
Every once in a while, I'll get a message from
the Amazing Vladimir.
Speaker 6 (35:22):
Oh I heard some bad news with him the other day?
Did you there is mom passed away?
Speaker 3 (35:27):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (35:27):
Okay, I didn't know that. But he's in Miami a right,
lest I heard back in Miami doing this thing.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
Benito Santiago guests by Kyle Jimmy Carter from Trucker Joe.
Speaker 1 (35:39):
Give him a nice nickname there. Who else do we have?
Page down?
Speaker 2 (35:42):
Is it that girl with you guys from Terry in
England who goes by the alias Kramer the service Dog
Lady Party, Ted Simmons guest by Johnny Q. That's his answer,
Stanley's Cardiologist from Kathy and Madison.
Speaker 1 (35:58):

Speaker 2 (36:02):

Speaker 1 (36:19):
Sonic?
Speaker 2 (36:19):
Luke Rittenauer from Shane in Des Moines? Who else do
we have? Page now? Sean in the Valley of Sun
says Dave Van Gorter is the answer. I can't see that.
Let's see here Now we'll skip over that. Greg Ganne
from Rob in Minnesota. Kurt man Wearing was guessed.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
By who that would be?
Speaker 2 (36:43):
None other than Greg the real estate Mogo in Baltimore.
All right, Eddie, what say you?
Speaker 1 (36:49):
Eddie again?
Speaker 2 (36:50):
The Padre catcher Kyle Hegoshioka at two two home runs
and one in each game for the podres here in
the playoffs. Last catcher to do that the playoffs was
former Brewer Great Jonathan Lucroix is it Jonathan Lucroix. No,
that is incorrect and the correct answer. It happened on
the Five Angels. You remember a catcher named Benji Molina.
Speaker 1 (37:13):
You remember that catch?
Speaker 6 (37:15):
Very fast?
Speaker 2 (37:16):
Yeah, he was when he was a rookie, then not
so much, but Benji Molina and then Hobby Lopez won
the one before that of the Braves.
Speaker 1 (37:25):
Hobby Lopez
Here we go.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Welcome, it's our number one of a base ball heavy
Our number one will start. We'll start with the American
League side of the wild card bracket. How did you
react to the cheating Astros being exterminated from the baseball playoffs? Also,
that famous cheater Jose Alboove has urged the a Holes
(00:26):
to sign back fellow cheat Alex Bregman, saying.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Make him stay. What does that signal to you?
Speaker 2 (00:34):
And are the gunner Henderson Orioles going to be tormented
by losing yet again in the playoffs, not winning a
stinking game, no offense in Baltimore. We'll talk about that
as well as all coming away right now, give it
up to our number one on this Thursday, take it
(00:55):
a bite.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Out of crime.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
The bad guys are out. The bad guys are out
on the baseball playoffs. Yeah, well come In the beginning
of the other night of the Ben Malors Show, we
are in the.
Speaker 5 (01:12):
Air everywhere using audio frequency as we provide purely auditory
illusions of the mind coast to coast.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Putting the water and beyond all the mast. Indefinitely powerful
microphones of FS are am monating live from the mound
as we spit audio, curveballs all night long. We're broadcasting
live from the tirect dot com studios. Tirect dot com
will help you get there an unmatched selection, fast, free shipping,
(01:50):
free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended installers,
all many almost as many tears as Ivan the Terrible
in Houston started crying. Not Noah in Austin, though I
think he enjoyed the outcome. Tire raccot Com the way
tire buying should be. So our lead is from October baseball,
(02:11):
and for the purposes of this show, we're gonna start
in our little world where it matters most, the American
League side of the bracket and the big story out
of the lone Star state. And if you didn't see it,
perhaps not somebody named Andy Banyes.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
We don't really know who that is, but we like him.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Andy Abanes hit a tie breaking three run double in
a four run eighth for the Detroit baseball team as
the Tigers. The Terrible Tigers sweep the Cheating a Shows
(02:53):
five to two of the final in game two. Noda
Da da, goodbye, you cheating a holes, you losers ha done?
What a waste two games at out You pathetic pieces
of crap, the a holes from Houston.
Speaker 6 (03:15):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Oh, it was so good.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
I don't even know half these guys are the Tigers are,
but I like them.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
And I don't like it as.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Much because aj Hinch, the manager of the Tigers, is
the old astro trash there but another no name, Parker Meadows.
Parker is our fake name. Parker medals Yeah homework. Detroit
ending a run of seven consecutive appearances in the America.
(03:43):
Houston's run is over from Detroit winning the seven consecutive
American League Championship Series appearances. So Detroit will play the
Cleveland Guardians and a matchup not made for television in
the American League Divisional Series, and the winner of that
matchup will go to the Final four of the American League.
(04:05):
But the better story is in the losing locker room.
It's always a great day. We always look forward to
this Day's you just you're happy. You don't really know
why you're happy. You you're just happy. It's just good.
It's just good all the way around. So how did
you react to the cheating a stros meekly being eliminated
(04:30):
from the postseason.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
So I've got feline Tim Allen and.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Secret recipe, and we will combine all of these things together,
and we are going to make a nice vacation. Because
you're on vacation. No need to worry about baseball if
you're an astro until sometime in February when spring training
gets underway. But my first thought here after I was
(04:56):
I was watching from the comfort of the mal or
sofa there and join the festivities, and then a little
concern maybe the Tigers would gag ear and into some
offense there late to turn the game around. I had
to sound off because I hate most of these broadcasts,
just so I had to sound off. I would classify
my reaction as I.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Was singing Nana Na Na good bye. As I was
doing that, I would classify it.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
As a feline like reaction, or go, that's the cats
me out right there, that's the cats me out. And
I had a cheshire cat smile from ear to ear
on my I.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Was so happy.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
I was, ah, this is great, man. We only get
this day once a year. It's so much fun. I
wish we could do it more than once. Maybe we
could have like double triple elimination. So good, right, really
a good day for baseball fans, not baseball itself, because
they insulated and protected the cheating a holes. They protected them.
They're still protecting them to this day. Rob Manfroud, the commissioner.
(06:00):
But the team from Houston losing their mojo, and I
guess they've got an upgrade and talk about trash cans
and buzzers and they've got to get better contraband there
in Houston. But there jumped the Shark moment. I was
actually texting a friend of mine does radio back East.
We were going back and forth like the jump to
Shark moment was when we had public nudity from this
(06:25):
baseball team.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
That was it.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
It was all over. It happened in San Diego late
in the season regular season when Jose Albouve thought he
was a Chippendale's dancer there and did a strip tease
showing his ugly, disgusting toes and taking his sock off
like some kind of Neanderthal.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Now it is a crying shame.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
That the Astros, with all of these playoff games have
not won a championship in franchise history, no World Series
to show for all the cheating and all of this
really is a crime shame. I think we can agree
on that now page two here, following the extermination of
(07:07):
the Houston baseball.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Team, how great is it that they're done? They're done.
We've killed the monster. They're dead. So cheater Jose al.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Boovey, the little fella, Jose Alboovey, now he urged, urged publicly,
they cheating asstros to payback in his words, fellow cheat
Alex Bregman, you know the guy with the punchable face
of their Bregman, Yeah, saying make him stay was the
(07:40):
quote from al Booby.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
So what does that tell you? What does that tell you?
Where that signaled to you? All right?
Speaker 2 (07:48):
So for me, my position is Houston obviously is at
a crossroads. It's it's not quite working the same as
it did work there for a while. And al Tuve
he's he's got a small problem. He never has a
big problem. Every problem he has is a small problem.
But he's over in the corner of the room, biting
his fingernails. He's having anxiety here, Altuve, and he's having anxiety.
(08:10):
He's concerned that he's going to become Tim Allen from
the remake of The Last Man Standing. And he didn't
want that I didn't want that, and now we believe
he has a little to worry about. Reason being for
a guy like Alex Bregman, who's a pending free agent
and all these other miserable cheaters, that's a member of
(08:30):
Congress who nicknamed them miserable cheaters, Congressman from Nebraska, I
believe back in the day. Anyway, So for Bregman and
these other guys in Houston that are still tied to it,
the Astros, that's their safe space, you see, that's their
safe space there. Bregman has tangibly less value in every
(08:53):
other Major League Baseball city, because every other major League
Baseball fan base would be like, we want with that guy?
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Why we want that guy? Guy's a punk? What that
got our team? Come on?
Speaker 2 (09:02):
And there's also no other fan base that is morley
bankrupt quite like the Houston Astro fan base. There a
bunch of dopes that supported that crap with no punishment
A right last word here. Well, quickly skidaddle to the
other side of the ale bracket, where Bobby Witt Junior
has now passed Mike trout By in career postseason RBIs.
(09:26):
As he hustled, he beat out an infield single and
drove in the go ahead run and the Royals have
saying turnout the lasts. The parties over for the Orioles.
They're done two to one. The final at Camden Yards
two games sweep aeroo. Question for the esteem panel, are
(09:49):
the Gunner Henderson Orioles going to be tormented by losing
yet again in the playoffs? So I'm nodding my head, Yes,
I believe that to be the case here and Baltimore
they are not paper tigers. They're paper birds, bird brains
in this time of the year, here, in this era,
(10:13):
this part of the ore that they tanked for years
to get all these top players, and yet they really
are putting the o in oriole this time of the year.
Was it ten straight playoff losses of the anemic offense.
Gunner Henderson they're one of the big headliners on the
Orioles zero for seven in the series. Adlie Rushman one
(10:35):
for eight, Anthony Santander one for eight. Baltimore's all star roster,
their lineup of all stars suffered a malfunction of epic proportions.
They did the thing you can't do it at the time,
you can't do it. They sucked at a time you
can't suck. There's no other way to say it. Now,
(10:55):
if you look at the way sports is operated over
the years, you would say something needs to change. There's
got to be some kind of change in Baltimore. It's
not working that they're fine during the regular season and
then when all the chips are on the line they
get down on their hands and knees and say, I
don't know what to do. I have no idea, but
I would say, don't hold your breath in Baltimore. And
(11:16):
here's why. It is the prototype of modern baseball. It
drives me nuts as someone that grew up in an
era where if you didn't perform well, you were held
accountable and you were fired. Manager was fired, people were traded.
That's not the way baseball's run today. And it's because
of the nerds. The nerds took over and it's the
(11:41):
modern baseball. You've got the cousins of the nerds who
run the Dodgers and the Yankees are in charge of
the Orioles in Maryland. Now, in the previous generation, a
guy like Brandon Hyde, the manager in Baltimore, would be whacked. Now, yeah, yeah,
buzzwords are used there stability and sustainability, that those are
(12:05):
the ones that matter.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Not accountability.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
It's sustainability and stability, not accountability. And the person that
let us know what's really going on with these teams
that don't hold anyone accountable was, of all people, Jerry Depoto,
the GM of the Seattle Mariners, who said, in a
moment of weakness, he took a lot of crap for
this because he said the quiet part out loud, but
(12:28):
he said this a couple years ago. I said that
the secret recipe of nerd ball. He gave it away.
He gave all the spices, all the eleven herbs and
spices away for the secret recipe. And it's never go
all in. You never goll in. No, no, no no.
The goal every year is to win fifty four percent
of your games. He said it, he said. Mariner Jim said,
(12:49):
this is all these teams are using the same same playbook,
right when fifty four percent of your games. To do
that over ten years of time, and almost always you're
going to make the playoffs. Almost every year you'll be
in contention. You'll sell a lot of tickets, a lot
of hot dogs, a lot of popcorn, a lot of beer. Right,
people me engaged, there'll be no apathy. So fifty four
(13:09):
percent of your games you can win. That you'll make
the playoffs most year, some years you won't. You'll find
yourself in the World Series, and at some point you're
going to win the World Series more likely than not
over ten years. That is the secret recipe. That's what
all these teams are doing. And so the oars are like, well,
Brandon hides just a middle manager like Dave Roberts or
(13:30):
Aaron But I'd be very surprised if he gets fired
because they'll just hire someone else that does the same thing.
So what's the point of firing him? You want again
the buzzwords stability and sustainability. It is the Ben Mahlor Show.

a very sad story, ivan but predictable story. And hey,
elimination day next year likely won't even come in October,
it'll be before then. Although I see the problem is
like teams in the American West aren't even trying, Like
the A's are just forfeitting. They're gonna be in Sacramento
next year. Not even trying. The Angels don't know what
(16:24):
they're doing. They suck, and the Rangers look like The
Rangers look like they use their entire wad of you
know what to win the World Series, and now they're
just kind of doing whatever, fussing around. And then you
got the Mariners who just want to win fifty four
percent of the game and be in contention every year
loss And right, since it's Ben, how about those Royals
(16:47):
one hundred and six losses last year going to the
divisional round this year? Looks like Kansas City just has
Baltimore's number, no matter if it's football or baseball. Been
waiting for this moment from the Royals for nine years,
nine long years for loss in And he says, f
the Yankees, Well, let's see about that, good man. That's
(17:11):
like old school. You're an old fart. You remember the
Yankees and the Royals and big playoff games and big games,
and the Royals used to be in the playoff team.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
All problems on the road for the American sound with
the White Sox. I had no problem Texas.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
On the road just bombing away.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
I was I was sandbagged by the fired I tell
you what, happened that it was. What happened was they
had fired one of the dopey producers for Tony Bruno show,
was our morning guy, and on his way out, he
sabotaged a bunch of audio and then my engineer, the
great Art Martinez, I was doing updates.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
I was not in control of sound.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Art pressed the button then walked away to play a
game on the computers. And I'm sitting there and I'm helpless.
I mean, he's just he the button walks away and
I'm like bagging in my hand on it.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
What are you doing? And he wasn't listening at all,
because you don't nobody listen.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
I was about Yeah, I was breaking every child labor
law when they hired me here, every child labor law,
digital space, monkey rights and says f Minus been Well,
he must be a fan of the cheaters. He says,
you didn't mention your level of concern facing the Podres
and the NLDS. The Dodgers are gearing up for their
annual collapse.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Now I'm not.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Worried about the Podres. What a minor league outfit the
Podreys are. Seriously, I'm embarrassing for San Diego. My god, pathetic,
not worried about that. Now the Dodgers will show up,
They'll the other advance for television ratings purposes.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
They will they will move on.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Mike in the Mountains, rights In says the Oreoles kind
of want to win, need experienced skipper. But all these
managers are supposedly all of them know how to manage
the old school guys. They're all ancient. They're none like
in between age. They're either ancient or their puppet number
(19:10):
geek managers. Yeah, that's about right. You got Bruce Bochi
who was like an old geezer. Just Bud Black at.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
This point would be considered an old geezer as.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
Well, Bob Bob Melvin, like those classic guys. And then
you got all the super nerd kool Aid drinkers that
are after that.
Speaker 6 (19:29):
Lately, I think the problem with the Orioles helmet man
lost his helmet.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
No, the problem with the Oils is sports with Coleman
did not use his free concession stand card that he
got from the Oils, thinking he could save it, but
it expires. He was texting me from Camden Yards the
other day and he's covering this. He was covering the
series for the media in Baltimore, and so they they
gave you a voucher to buy food at the concession
(19:58):
stands media media. So he chose to hold on to it,
thinking he could double up for Game two, but it expired,
so he'd wasted. He wasted like twenty bucks that he
could have used on food on Booms barbecue.
Speaker 6 (20:14):
Devastating.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
It's a terrible decision and as a rookie mistake.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
This guy's been in the media business longer than me
sports with Coleman, you'd think he'd be able to know
that if Major League Baseball did not put an end
date on that, every media hack would save that and
load up on all kinds of delicious food later on.
I mean, so, of course, come on, all right, who
(20:38):
else do we have to see? Page down? Fer Dog says,
is it really necessary to continue to take shots at
mister October, Mike Trout, Bobby Waits, j Andre off to
the great start, but he's got a long ways to
go to match the Millbille Medior's postseason success, says ferg
Dog as he starts crying over the the keyboard.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
There who else do we have? Page down?
Speaker 2 (21:04):
The cowboy, Drew says, I created myself to play for
the Brewers in Major League Baseball twenty four MLB twenty four.
It's August in my roomy season and I'm at fifty
four home runs. Well, good for you, Absolutely good for you.
(21:24):
Let's go to the phones. We'll stay Hello to boy Angry.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Bill.
Speaker 6 (21:31):
Early in the show for Angry Bill.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
You want me to put them on hold, I put
you on hold. You should not be in the first
hour of the show, Angry Bill. Right, you're not a
first hour guy. You're like a fourth hour guy. You're
not a first hour guy.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
Well, what I want to talk about is very important
to what you were just talking about. I've talked about
in the past with the one picture, one inning system
that I wrote. If you look at the box scores
of all the playoff games so far. So let's talk
about specifically about the Tigers. They used it to a
(22:02):
perfect team if you look at it. They went right
down the line, used my system and they won the game.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Yeah. I saw a J.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Hinch after the game said it was the Angry Bill system.
That's what he said, said that.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
I already just you know, I already put a phone
call into my connection with the Tigers. Artie Byler, who
read my system twenty years ago as a coordinator with
the Tigers.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
How did your system work out for the Mets? I'm
asking for a friend, how did that work out?
Speaker 3 (22:33):
Who said the Mets choose my system?
Speaker 2 (22:36):
I didn't bringing in relief fetchers until one of them
vomited all over himself.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
I didn't specifically go through the met one.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
I was sificutly trying to believe.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
That's called the legal term for that is a live
by omission. Phil Mayitan, the relief fetcher for the Mets.
There number eighty eight in your program. He also gave
up eighty eight runs to the Brewers in his outing.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
Okay, talking about it, we're talking about the Tiger game.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Well, I know, but your system, you're talking about baseball here.
How about you know the Mets they went to their
boy kept going to the bullpen right and bring in
three relief fisures into one of them pukes.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
All over himself.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
Oh, I don't know how they used my system. I
didn't watch that or check it out. Going about the
Tigers box score and you see him use the perfection whoever.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Well, they didn't actually use it to perfection because you
say one pitcher one inning and the Astros opponent. There
the Tigers used one, two, three, four, five, six, seven pitchers,
but they actually went nine innings. You see the problem there,
So they didn't use one picture per any.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
Ben. I'm trying to go through something that was I
thought fairly important. You want to play games, go play
your goddamn game, all.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Right, I'll go play the game. Is the Ben Mallor show.
That was a man that was defeated. You'll hear that
on the podcast. Will be up shortly after.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
We get done.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Angry Bill, No, he needs he needs meds. You know,
he's he's an older guy. I don't think he's got
good insurance and so you got to have as a
pre existing condition. He's from New Jersey.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
He's an a hole, so hitting the campaign trail.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Alex Bregman trying to weaponize the fans of the cheating
a one one thousand and two one thousand holes. He
sent out on social media a note saying thank you
ahead of becoming a free agent.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
That was trying to get a hold of the fans
of the Cheaters to put pressure on the franchise in
order for him to get more money from them because
he didn't want to go anywhere else. He knows that
he is only beloved there. There will be no real
love anywhere other than there from a fan base because
(24:56):
of what he has done, and he is forever been
given the Scarlett Letter.
Speaker 7 (25:02):
Be sure to catch live editions of the Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 6 (25:08):
Do you have an update on the Devonte Adams situation. Yes,
we do. I'm sure Ben'll be talking about it later.
There's some fine audio to be played with Antonio Pierce,
the head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders. But as
far as Adams and not expected to play against the
Broncos on Sunday because of his hamstring issue, as far
as where he could go, reports are that the Jets
and Saints are on the list where his old quarterbacks
(25:30):
are at of course, Aaron Rodgers in New York and
Derek Carr in New Orleans.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Those are Devanta. Adams doesn't want to win. If those
are the teams you don't want to win.
Speaker 6 (25:38):
Jets and Cowboys reportedly have reached out to the Raiders
inquiring about Adams.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
But you guys, a loser, Devanta state losers. He's awesome.
Speaker 6 (25:45):
Where he goes winners get out of that's Raiders organization.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
The greatness of the Raiders awful, you know, deserving. It
is the Ben Mahler Show.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
As we are rolling through the overnights, the first hour
of baseballly a couple hours on baseball here, next hour
we'll get to the National League side of the bracket
and the end of Tommy John surgery. About this, now,
this is a bizarre one. It does not seem like
this is a way you would make this kind of announcement.
But the New York Yankees team doctor went on social
(26:17):
media and said that later on today this is our
Thursday show, they will be unveiling a revolutionary advancement in
Tommy John surgery. Now, the claims being made are that
this is going to change the game and it's a
new era in ligament reconstruction. They claim to be offering
(26:42):
baseball players at all levels a faster, smoother recovery. Yeah,
fewer setbacks, extended career longevity. Sounds a little bit like
snake oil, but we'll see what they say. Keep an
open mind there. Tommy John surgery, they take a ligament
from one part of your body and they move to another.
(27:04):
They take a cadaver ligament and they put that in
your body. What Yeah, that's Tommy John your ligament in
your elbow, and.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
They have to they take it from a cadaver. Yeah,
sometimes they use a cadaver.
Speaker 6 (27:17):
How do they how do they acquire the cadaver ligament? Well,
how do you think they acquire? People? Do people volunt
you like, when you die, do you volunteer? You know, hey,
if you if you use any of my parts, just
go ahead and take care of that.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
As I understand, I don't know if I'm as I
was told years ago. It's like, if you donate your
body to medicine, they take obviously the important stuff first
the heart and whatnot, but then nothing left behind.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
They chop you all off my body.
Speaker 6 (27:40):
You ever known anybody that has done that?
Speaker 2 (27:42):
My aunt aunt Sadie, Yes, never never buried her. I
live in Chicago and a great one loved her to death,
and she apparents she did die, so I guess I
did love her to death, but she uh, she donated
her body in medicine and that was it.
Speaker 8 (27:56):
Do they like take precautions to make sure that they
don't harvest your no, that you're not in class and
they roll out the cadaver and it's and it's your aunt.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
Oh no, I don't know anything about that, Cooper.
Speaker 8 (28:10):
I'm just saying, like, I imagine that would be pretty traumatic.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
They gotta I don't know how that all works. I
really don't want to know. It's not something I'm interested in,
to be honest, I'm not.
Speaker 8 (28:23):
Well because it was an interesting question because Eddie's like,
do you know anybody, And I don't know anybody that
I don't I don't know, but I remember going to
college and then.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
Yeah, they bring out the Yeah, they took out the
whole body.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Yeah, stop it.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
And by the way, I've heard, I've heard through the
grapevine that like those like there's people that died in
like the you know, sixties, they're still using them. No, yeah,
they just put them back on the foe and uh,
you know, yeah, that is a.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Very coolish situation. I just talked about Tommy John's I did.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
I just mentioned in passing that they sometimes have to
use the cadaver ligament.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
I have the perfect comeback song.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
Oh boy, I can only imagine, I can only imagine anyway.
It is the Ben Mather Show. As we roll on,
here's a blast from the past, one of the great
moments in the history of the show. Someday, if they
write a book about this show, they'll have to mention
the day that a listener had a heart attack on
the air and survived, almost killed of my creative thinking.
