A Happy Thursday to you. It's the seventeenth day of October.
We're hanging out together in the Magic pod box and
here in our one. The National League Championship Series Game
three was played last night the Dodgers and the Mets.
Who gets the blame pretzel for Francisco Lindor's Mets getting
(00:30):
blown out and shutout in their home ballpark? Also, what
surprised you the most from the Dodgers domination in victory?
And where do things stand heading into Game four for

He's a dreaded day worker now so he listens to
(01:57):
the podcast.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
But our lead this hour.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
From the big stage there in Queens. That was the
setup Game three, just down the way from LaGuardia National
League Championship.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Series, and it's all in favor of the Mets.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Now.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
From when I was reading, oh Man, the Mets.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
One Game two and all the momentum, all the moment
the series was tied up one pin one.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
You probably knew that.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Going into Game three as the festivities resumed on FS one.
Were you watching nothing else on the watch? You probably did,
or let's you just stared at the wall, h but
perhaps not so we watched. Don't worry. We watched so
you would not have to. The game was played on
a Chile October night. So the way playoff baseball is
(02:44):
supposed to be played right. Temperatures dip down to the
mid forties at one point in the Big Apple, and
it was a home run of Paloosa for the Dodgers
as Cheek k Hernandez, Shohei Otani, and Max Munsey all
had dingers, and the Dodgers absolutely abused. The Metropolitans ate
(03:07):
nothing in their own place of work there eate nothing
the final a domination situation on a Wednesday night, and
the Dodgers that have now pitched their fourth shutout. These
are all team shutouts, but four shutouts in the past
five playoff games. And the good guys have a two
(03:28):
games to one lead over the bad guys in the
National League Championship Series. So let us discuss the question
better story, losing locker room, better story losing locker room.
So question who gets the blame Pretzel for the Francisco
Lindor Mets who lose and really had no shot not
(03:50):
on this game, no chance at all. So I've got
limited edition Uber eats and Doppler radar, and we will
combine all all of these things together and we are
going to make a boneyard, which is where the Mets'
offense appears to be somewhere out in the boneyard, somewhere
(04:10):
far far away.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
But let's start with this.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
The vaunted Mets line up here and the comeback kids,
and they got that thing. Didn't see it here? Didn't
see it? Did you see it? I didn't see it.
And I know that Jad Martinez like to talk about
embracing the suck, but unfortunately for the Mets, they sucked
at a time you cannot suck, which is during the
(04:35):
course of the game. Here Walker Buehler, who generally speaking,
having watched him pitch this year since he came back
from injury, Walker Buehler has been serving up spicy meatballs
all season. The baseball coming out of walker Bueler hand,
his hand has been like that of a beach ball
for opposing hitters, and he looked much closer to the
(04:58):
player that he had been to all of these injuries,
these Tommy John surgeries here, but he didn't get.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
An assist from the Mets.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Let's be honest here, right, this is some competence by
the Mets, and I'm I'm all for it. Right, the
Mets came out there, they just was something missing from
the Mets here. They played like zombies on Xanax in
the in this game defensively only charged with one error
in the game, but if you're watching it, there were
a couple of bobbled balls, plays that could have been made,
(05:26):
and several miscues that helped the Dodgers cause.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Here and then you had Luis Severino.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
No matter how many players wear his number on the EyeBlack,
there he was wobbly on the mound. There was a
lot of traffic, a lot of congestion, and so that
was a bit of a problem the lineup though for
the Mets, no punch. They had eight men they left
on base in this game. And all these fantastic worshiping
(05:54):
Mets fans there, all worshiping the Purple Blob for McDonald's,
and several shots on the broadcast that people dressed up
like the Purple Blob. But the Mets in this particular game,
they underwent a metamorphosis. They turned into the limited edition
Grimace Shake. Okay, they were very flavored milkshake. Soft serve.
(06:17):
Was the Mets approach to this particular game, a public
pantsing for all to see. Year Just four Measley singles.
That's it. That's all. Not one extra base hit for
the Mets as they go down. Now, in terms of
the team that won, what is surprising to you? What
is surprising to you the most about the Dodgers domination
(06:41):
in Game number three of the NLCS just in general.
So this is like we do commercials no sweat bets
or whatever, they're like a no sweat bet, really like
no sweat. There was no drama. Dodgers scored, Mets never scored.
Dodgers never really in any danger. This is like a
random Wednesday game against the Rockies. That's not how playoff
(07:03):
games are supposed to go. But I would say that
the way the Dodgers approached this against the Mets, it
was an Uber Eats delivery.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
It was an Uber Eats delivery, and.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
The Dodger pitching, they supplied the toasted bagel halves.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
And then they had the thickly shmered soft cream cheese
on the locks there on the bagel.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
There were a lot of bagels on the scoreboard there everywhere,
and Walker Bueller of all people, Again, I cannot stress
this enough. This guy, his entire arm is held together
by Scotch tape and Elmer's glue. And he didn't go
more than four innings and so that's modern baseball.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
I don't like it. I think it sucks.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
But he went four shutout innings and combined with four
relievers on the four hitter for the Doyers, who are
now two wins away from going back to the World Series.
Remember a couple years back, they won the hardest World
Series of all time during a global pandemic.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
That's much easier this year. We'll see what they can
do down the line.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
But a methodical beatdown of the Mets and the Dodgers.
If you look at the top line pitchers, three of
the three, four, five of the top guys that were
supposed to be a rotation, they're sending out hand me
downs in some of these bullpen jobs. The starting rotation.
Most of the big guns are in the repair shop
(08:25):
at this point, and they're in the they need to
be updated in the app store and all of that.
But the second line of cast offs, other than a
certain relief pitcher we will not name here, just did
not have a knack for that job. But other than that,
they've been mouthwatering good in this playoff situation here. And
(08:46):
you judged a pose the difference between the Mets and
the Dodgers and the Dodgers. It was like the old
Baseball card Company from back in the day. They were
going upper deck is what they were doing, Upper ten,
O Tani and Max Munsey, and then the Metropolitans were
warning track fly balls.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Three or four balls.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
Went to the warning track and as well, it's too cold,
the ball doesn't travel well. He guess it travel for
the Dodgers, but not them, the moonshots that were leaving
the ballpark here. And then you have the curious case
of Key k Hernandez, the belly bumping Key k Hernandez
or even junk bumping Key k Hernandez there who hit
(09:29):
two twenty nine during the regular season and as Captain
America in the playoffs. Captain America. All right, now, last
word here. So we're two to one Dodgers over the Mets.
Where do things stand? Big picture heading into Game four,
which we played later on on Thursday at the site
(09:51):
of the crime there, Dodgers and the Mets. So the
Doppler radar forecast, not the Mexican doppler from Roberto.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
He didn't work anymore. He took that way.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
But the Doppler radar forecast calls for partly cloudy for
the Mets and a chance of doom because you talk
about being up against it here. The Mets manhandled two
of the three games in the NLCS, and if not
for the generosity of Dave Roberts and the Nerds to
(10:21):
throw a bullpen game in Game two, we'd likely be
talking about a sweep situation heading into the game on
Thursday night. The Mets hitters who were twisted into garlic knots,
delicious garlic knots by Walker Bueler, and he had an
ERA of over five and it wasn't like two or
three starts. He had sixteen starts this year had an ERA.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Of five and a half. For the Dodgers. Well, the
one thing.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
That is guaranteed now, and I will guarantee you that
the NLCS will not be ending in New York unless
the Dodgers win.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
The Mets cannot win in their home ballpark here. The
series at worst will be going back to the West
Coast for Games six and possibly Game seven. Good luck
on that. Very unlikely that will be the case. Game four,
Game four again coming up Thursday night. Here the scene
in Queens and we'll see Yosherinobu Yamamoto, the three hundred
(11:24):
and twenty five million dollar guy who actually lived up
to the hype in the game against the Padres in
the NLDS. And now he's back at it again against
a journeyman left. And that's how bad the Mets are.
They're starting Jose Kintana in the game that will either
be down three to one or maybe two to two.
And he pitched this guy talking about journeyman for eight teams.
(11:47):
And I know he's not an NFL player, but he
is a jag just a guy, just a guy. And
that cute little pumpkins story, it's starting to rot a
little bit. You look at the Mets line up here.
They got several players that are running in circles. Here,
Francisco Alvarez, pu what stinks, Jose Iglesias.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
I'd rather have the singer and.

It might be.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Mickey in State forty eight says, thanks for leading off
the show with baseball talk again for US seam heads

you should tell management you deserve prime time pay, being
that you are primetime in Hawaii. No, we're like a
night show, evening show on the Hawaiian Islands, the chain
(18:32):
of Hawaiian Islands now where we really dominate, Mickey, Morning
Drive in all over Europe. We're doing morning Drive in
the Middle East and Europe Morning Drive dominate.
Speaker 8 (18:44):
Australia. We're the middle of the day too, right, that's
what OI said.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
We're earlier, Yeah, we're earlier there. So we're really just
it's a domination situation. Not in America time wise, but
if you leave America and there's a whole world out there, right,
I mean you look around it. It's seven thirty almost
in Auckland, New Zealand. We're on there right now, booming right.
Speaker 8 (19:06):
I love Auckland, New Zealand.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
You don't even know where that is. We're doing mid
days in Beijing. We're doing mid days in Beijing right now.
It's two thirty in Beijing. We're dominating, right, coops, beloved Amsterdam.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Eight thirty in the.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Morning in Amsterdam almost right there in the red light district,
and we're just having a great time.
Speaker 8 (19:27):
We should go to the red light district.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
We should do a malamigrit Abu Dhabi ten thirty in
the morning and Abu Dhabi.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
You know where Abu Dhabi is?
Speaker 5 (19:35):
No, you don't.
Speaker 8 (19:36):
I think it's over. Nobody knows over in that one area.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Well, yeah, in that one area. Yeah, I go on
and on.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
I mean, hey, Paris morning drive Paris HERI right there,
the City of Lights or whatever. Yeah, all right, anyway,
g managed in Chicago rights since says eight plus on.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
The math of the monologue.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
Can't wait for the Doyers to take out the Mets,
and he says, Jason my colleague here, Jason Smith will
be Kick Rocks, Doyers, Doyers Doyers or a random Ryan
in Carolina, says. Queens and Brooklyn get to debate who
invented the garlic knot according to the Internet. Who do
you think gets credit for the garlic knot? Well, the
(20:15):
garlic knot. Really, I've mastered it. I don't care who
is the Internet credits with creating the garlict knot garlic knot,
but I've dominated it. Now something that did not dominate
That would be the Chicago White Sox this past baseball
season and now a story, which I believe is misleading.
Jerry Reinsdorf, who has been old my entire life, he's
(20:40):
really old.
Speaker 7 (20:41):
Now.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
Reinsdorf owns the Chicago White Sox, the worst team in baseball,
and there's a story bouncing around that Reinsdorf is open
to selling the White Sox. He's eighty eight years old.
Eighty eight years old. They went forty one and one
twenty one this year. Though he said that he is,
(21:04):
he is also in active discussions regarding the sale, which
is it was a little different than just open to selling.
The active discussions. Now, the White Sox, along with a
couple of the other Chicago teams. Not the Cubs have
their own channel, but the White Sox and the Blackhawks
started their own cable channel and the Bulls. Reinestorf also
(21:25):
owns the Chicago Bulls, so they just started their own
regional cable channel, which is kind of like when the
automobile came along starting a horse and buggy company. But
they're doing it and so they would have to include
that as part of it. So Rhinestorf the story is
he I'm gonna sell. The Twins are for sale, So
(21:47):
what if you bought the Twins and the White Sox.
Like a two for one special, you can combine them
together and see what happens.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven PM.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
And we are rolling on through these wacky hours of
the night talking some baseball. This hour is the Doyers
have taking a two games to one lead over the Mets.
Two more wins for them to get to the World Series.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
And I know.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
Major League Baseball executives, these games would never be rigged
at all. But boy, the people at baseball would hate
if the Dodgers and the Yankees were to play each
other in the World Series. Man, that would suck for Baseball.
They would be so upset if that were the case. Hey,

Speaker 7 (23:19):
Oh, mister Ben mallor man, Benny Boy, huge fan. Just
so you know, I've been listening to you for at
least seven plus years most nights and then seen it
walks back. So I got to start at midnight, and
you know, and if I hit podcasts and everything else
I do on the weekend, you know, Benny and the
(23:41):
Penny love it.
Speaker 9 (23:42):
I called in.
Speaker 7 (23:43):
I fired go ahead.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Now, I was going to say thank you, thank you,
appreciate that kind of you.
Speaker 7 (23:48):
Yeah, I do want to be a I want to
be a part of the militia. I'd love to get
you out here. I did call in originally kind of
with a hot take and was kind of fired up,
and you know, not see, we're happy with the take
you took the other night about But I do agree
because I'm a Seattle Mariner fan. I'm a transplant from Seattle,
and you really helped me on that road drive from
(24:09):
Seattle to Phoenix, move my family down here, a couple
of trips with new hauls and all that, just just
just playing your podcast over.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Well, that's what we love, that consistent lit. So what
take annoyed you?
Speaker 3 (24:23):
Let's go back in the archive of takes. Which take
disturbed you?
Speaker 7 (24:28):
It was the the analytical take on the bullten and
like Roberts the coach of the Dodgers, like you know,
mixing and matching gall bullten game, going through on Game two, losing,
but like that's the Mariners every year, Like O, that's
what screws us up. Like that's why ti Oscar will
leave the Mariners and any any player for the Mariners
(24:49):
would go to the Dodgers or wherever else. Ti Oscar
had a great year this year because they get in
their heads. It's too much analytics, right, and like playing
the numbers and everything else rather than just being an
athlete and performing. But you're out. Your take the other
night was like, oh, Roberts is horrible for you know,
you just let them, let the boys play in and
(25:10):
like kick the starter.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
I hate, I cannot. I can't stress this enough. I
despise bullpend games. I've made that clear. Even when it works,
I hate it. It's minor league, it's spring training. It's
not it's the playoffs. It's absurd. And I always these toties,
these brown nosers for the Nerds are like, well, they
(25:32):
have no other choice, really have no other off.
Speaker 7 (25:35):
The Mariners, the Nerds.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
Okay, yeah, well they're all all these teams are They're
all run with the same doctrine.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
So it's the same it's the same script.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
I mean, if the Dodgers and the Yankees end up
playing the World Series, it's like the Spider Man meme
where they're pulling out, Well, if that happens, like they're
the Spider Man meme where they're pointing at each other
like you look exactly like me. They play the same
exact way. You got Judge on one side, you devil
Tani on the other. That the Yankees supposedly have better pitching,
but we'll see about that if they play.
Speaker 7 (26:04):
So I like your bowl I like to take is
for like like so the Marriors, the strongest bullpens, the seventh, eighth,
ninth pitchers. I just bulldogs that come in. That's who's
gonna win those games for you in the playoffs. I'd
like to be part of.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
All right, Well what I would like to be? Well,
I can if you want.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
I mean, I can put you in if you want
to take the oath right now, we'll get the oath
you would like to take the alight.
Speaker 7 (26:29):
I got goose bumps when you just told me that.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Okay, this is very exciting.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
Now I want to thank again Skeeter and Montana who
demanded the oath of a couple of years back. You
and Skeeter is on the comeback trail from his ailment
and a good reports from him. So all right, just
very simply, all you have to do here, John is
repeat after me.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Are you ready?
Speaker 7 (26:48):
Repeat after me?
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Okay, I state your name, John. Do you solemnly swear.
Speaker 7 (27:00):
You swallow, solemnly swear that I.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
Will support and defend the Ben Malor Show.
Speaker 7 (27:07):
That I will support and defend the Ben Malor.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
Show against all enemies foreign and domestic, against.
Speaker 7 (27:16):
All enemies foreign and domestic and liberals, And.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
That I will obey the orders with peacefully fight back,
and I.
Speaker 7 (27:27):
Will obey orders and peacefully fight back.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
It's always a hard one.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Here's the hardest part against No, we're not done against
hostile attacks from rival sports, gas bags and blowhards.
Speaker 7 (27:43):
Again, rival ship.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
You're gonna have to call back John, You, I mean,
we had to hang up on you. You cursed in
the middle of the oath, and we unfortunately, we have
a rule if you can't make it through the oath
without cursing, you don't get to complete the oath. You
were so close to you were almost there, John, I
think the mini bar kicked in there at some point
and then that was that.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Well, that means so the oath is still open.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
So if somebody is sober enough to take the oath,
we have not completed the oath.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
So we do it.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
We only do it once a show.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
We haven't done it yet, so we hadn't finished the oath.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
But John seems like a good guy, and he'll once
he sobers up, he'll he'll realize what happened.
Speaker 8 (28:32):
So I felt like he got drunk all of a sudden,
like I thought he was sober, and then I was like, no,
he's drunk.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
A little liquid courage.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
You know it's feeling. Hey, I listened to the podcast.
I'm up late, and I'm having a couple of pops.
I'll call the show.
Speaker 5 (28:45):
Why not?
Speaker 3 (28:47):
Yeah, Well, speaking of having a couple of pops, how
about this one from Eddie's beloved w NBA. Several of
you sent me this story the outrage. Tell me you're
obtuse without telling me you're up to. So the Chicago
Sky apparently that's a basketball team. I don't know who
that is, but anyway, they have a player named Angel Reese.
(29:08):
Not a real angel, by the way. Anyway, she has
publicly complained that her WNBA salary will not cover her
eight thousand dollars a month rent. She's complaining, Now, uh yeah,
I know we're getting old, Addie, But isn't this like
basic economics one O one right, if you have a
certain amount of money to spend on your rent?
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Is this a sop story here that she is?
Speaker 5 (29:34):
I am crying very hard.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
You can't find a place for two thousand a month,
and you know, have the extra money.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
And then you've got a little money, I mean, get
a roommate.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
I hate to tell you, you're in the WNBA job
no one's watching the WNBA unless there's one person playing.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
In an eight U.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
So yeah, I mean the the a's My grandfather would say,
the hutzpah to complain when you're oh my sorry, I
won't even cover like eight thousand dollars a month.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
Rent she's she lives by herself. I believe right.
Speaker 3 (30:03):
She said, she's not even kids or anything. She's a
single lady. Eight thousand dollars a month?
Speaker 7 (30:09):
What is?
Speaker 1 (30:09):
What's she living right on Lake Michigan there in Chicago?
Speaker 3 (30:13):
Like, what's going on anyway? You complaining about that? It
is the Ban Malors Show. As we press on time
now for the who am I?
Speaker 9 (30:21):
Game?
Speaker 1 (30:22):
This is where we pretend to be somebody else else.
We call it the who am I Game?
Speaker 7 (30:25):
Who?
Speaker 1 (30:26):
And here it is.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
I've got the NFL's lowest completion percentage from a clean pocket.
That means who, no pressure, I've got the NFL's lowest
completion percentage from a clean pocket this season?
Speaker 1 (30:39):
Who am I? That is the question? The answer. We'll
get to it and we will do it next.

It's Ben Maller, justin in Cincinnati, right so, and he says,
are all Mariner fans on the Spectrum? Are you talking
about that cable? Like the Spectrum cable system? Is that
almost to be what you're talking about?
Speaker 7 (31:37):
Right?
Speaker 3 (31:38):
Supermarket Steve Wright Sin says, I understand sometimes the teams
needing to play a bullpen game in the playoffs, but
to play a bullpen game in the third game of
the playoffs when you were just off for almost six
days is a little ridiculous. Well, you have been programmed
to accept the bullpen game. I don't even accept it
(31:59):
when you have a tattered pitching So I think the
whole thing's absurd.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
You gotta be kidding me.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
Yeah, Spock's Weed from Oregon writes, and he says, Ah, sad,
Trombone John, You've got to take the oath sober. That's
why it's so hard for me to get up for it.
So he says, time now for the who am I?
Speaker 1 (32:22):
Game? A blatant attempt to get you to listen a
little bit longer.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
I've got the NFL's lowest completion percentage from a clean
pocket this season.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
Who am I? That is the question? What is the answer?
Speaker 3 (32:34):
Weed Man Hippie was guessed by Dat Boy Malcolm Foghorn
Leghorn from Slim. Tim Derek in Buffalo says, Kamala Harris
is the answer.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
Tim Tebow was also.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
A guest by I believe that was the actual guest
by Da Boy Malcolm.
Speaker 5 (32:49):
Who else?
Speaker 1 (32:50):
Jerry Jones from Johnny Q. That's his answer?
Speaker 3 (32:53):
Len Dawson chainsmoking in the locker room from Spaccoli who
has been shadow band? And he says from social media,
Angel Reese's real estate agent from Randy or random Randy?
Speaker 1 (33:07):
Random Ryan in Carolina? Who might be Randy? I don't know.
Speaker 3 (33:12):
I see a lot of Angel Reese Landlord comments Terry
in England as well, Gardner Minshew or super Dave.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
I guests by mister Spock, Big Lou.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
He's on number two and he says Doug Flutey is
the answer.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
Who else do you have?
Speaker 3 (33:29):
Paige Dan Homie d Clown from Eloy from Compton, Dakota
Prescott guest by Massole, Mickey the Lion, Great Hendon Hooker
from Christopher whose heart is in Detroit but his body
is in Carolina. Dante Culpepper from Nick. Who else do
(33:49):
you have? Page down Massage Watson from Texas TJ.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
That's his answer.
Speaker 3 (33:56):
Steve de Burgh Steve de Berg from I'm Rich.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
All right, Eddie, do you have an answer? Eddie?
Speaker 3 (34:04):
It is not Angry drill Sergeant Guy. It is not
him from Big Reg in Iowa.
Speaker 5 (34:10):
No, that's a silly, silly guest, Ben.
Speaker 6 (34:12):
The answer is former Eagles legendary quarterback Mike Kafka.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
That's a great name, but unfortunately that is incorrect.
Speaker 3 (34:20):
And I saw Ocho Texto thought he got it right,
but he didn't hear it right. Correct the answer, I've
got the NFL's lowest completion percentage from a clean pocket
this season. That would be none other than Anthony richardson
of your Indianapolis Colts. Anthony Richards dead last at fifty
(34:42):
three point four percent. That's fifty three point four percent
when there's no pressure, and Bryce Young, who's been benched,
is second worst.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
Followed by Aaron Rogers.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
Aaron Rodgers is the third worst in terms of completion
percentage from a clean pocket the NFL this season. Let's
go to the phones. We'll say hello to Paul, who's
in the Sunshine State. Hello, Paul, welcome.
Speaker 9 (35:07):
Good morning, mister Ben.
Speaker 5 (35:10):
Why are you doing.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
What's up, Paul? What's on your mind?
Speaker 7 (35:12):
Here?
Speaker 1 (35:12):
What you got for me, Paul?
Speaker 9 (35:14):
Well, I want to talk. I want to talk a
little baseball. But you just mentioned that Anthony Richards situation.
They're saying he's coming back to start. Uh put him
back at quarterback instead of flock him. Yeah, that's a
crazy situation.
Speaker 3 (35:32):
It's like they have a death with it. I know
he sucks, but their hell be, this is what happens.
Speaker 1 (35:37):
Man.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
You get drafted. You know how it works here, man, Paul,
you get drafted in the first round. They're like, we're
gonna make this work. We're gonna figure it out. The
guy can't play, and he shouldn't be playing right now
because he's terrible.
Speaker 3 (35:48):
And he'll play, I know, And but Richardson he gets
hurt every game, so even if he starts the game,
he's likely not going to finish the game. And then
Flacco will come in. I mean, you'd think you'd you
all the playing. They're playing the Dolphins. You think you
do well against the Dolphins, you would.
Speaker 9 (36:04):
Think think you think quick got of baseball. No, I'm
home tonight before going to work, I'm flipping through a
WNBA game, back to the Met game. I usually don't
watch the Mets team. I'm from New York. I got
a few friends from New York that love the Mets,
(36:24):
love them. I say, this team is horrible. This team
looked horrible. You're talking about a team that's either first
or second in pay roll this year, right, the product
they're putting on the field there in the playoffs ten
or eleven games, they've been shut out three times. I
(36:45):
think they've got eight to ten rasts in the ten games.
Speaker 3 (36:50):
Yeah, yeah, they're They're not a good defensive team. Mean,
I'm not gonna I'm not gonna bury the Mets because
they are in the they are in the NLCS, but
they they have not played well.
Speaker 1 (37:00):
I have not.
Speaker 3 (37:01):
I have not been blown away by what I've seen
from the from the Mets.
Speaker 9 (37:06):
My point is, it's not even interesting watching them.
Speaker 3 (37:10):
Well, yeah, two of the three games, it is not
all right. I got to thank you, Paul, the great Paul,
who's kind of hanging out there chilling than you and
where you know he's going to work. I guess it's
just night off, so he's not going to work, but
he's got to go to work.
Speaker 1 (37:23):
And that whole thing
Speaker 3 (37:25):
Sounds like he's from New York originally, but definitely not
a Mets fan, not on that Met bandwagon at this
point
