Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go. Welcome, it's our numb berwe Happy hump
day to you. It's the seventeenth day of September and
a pipe and hot hour of the Ben Maler Show podcast.
A reminder later today on the social media channels on
the YouTube but one of our YouTube pages, we have
Ben Maler Show where you can watch Mallard monologues on YouTube,
(00:22):
So YouTube dot com slash Ben Mahler Show. And then
we also have the YouTube page for Benny Versus the
Penny Benny Vspenny And there'll be a new preview of
the Thursday night NFL game up on that channel, so
make sure to follow that as well. But here an
hour number one of the pod, Give me your school
of thought on the story everyone's talking about in baseball,
(00:43):
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts pulling show Hail Tani from a
no hitter after sixty eight pitches in five innings. What's
that all about? Also, what's the most puzzling thing about egos?
Left tackle Jordan Milatta's grumbling about the media's obsession the
tushy pushy. We'll talk about that. Also, where are you
at on the NFL network glowingly reporting the Vikings edition
(01:07):
of Desmond Ritter as a proven experienced quarterback number two.
We'll talk about that as well. All of it's coming
your way right now here. It is our number one.
So how does one stop greatness? I don't know in
(01:29):
all sports, but I know in baseball. If you want
to slow down greatness, have Dave Roberts and the Nerds
run your baseball team. Welcome in the beginning of another
night of the Ben Malor Shaw. We are in the
air everywhere the malar of mouthpiece has been activated as
(01:52):
we pay hush money unless we don't coast to coast,
border the order and beyond on the vast and unmeasured,
purbably powerful microphones of fs are am monating live from
the table, the infamous table read from the world famous
Fox Sports Radio Studios, as approved by j D in Boston,
(02:14):
who goes by for some reason the moniker Sharknado.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
We don't know why, but he does. We don't know why.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
This portion of the Ben Maler Show on Fox made
possible by our friends at Tire Rack. For over forty years,
ty Iraq has been helping customers find the right tires
for how, what and where they drive. Ship fast and
free back by free road hazard protection with convenience installation
options approved by ALF and fergdog like mobile tire installation,
(02:41):
tire rack dot com the way tire buying should be.
So our lead this hour is from baseball. Now. I
realize we don't normally talk baseball during the regular season.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
It's not much of a talker.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
I picked my spots on that, especially when there's football
going on. Another amazing night of baseball at Dodger Stadium,
the Dodgers and the Phillies. Phillies winning the National League East,
not that that means much anymore, but they did do that,
and trying to wrap up the home field advantage is
one of the top two teams. They and the Brewers
(03:12):
will likely get home field advantage. Not that that matters.
There's really no home field in baseball. So anyway, get
to the point, please, So show Hail Tani might know
this by now, maybe you haven't been paying attention. So
show hal Tani was pitching a no hitter. No granted
it was midway through the game. It was five innings
into the game, so it wasn't in the eighth or
the ninth inn he but he was pitching no hit
(03:35):
baseball for five innings, and then Dave Roberts did what
Dave Roberts does. He cuts the balls off history. That's
what Dave Roberts does. He knewter's history, any chance at history.
Dave Roberts chop chop, cut cut, there goes history, and
he pulled them over the game. Now Dodgers had a
(03:55):
four to nothing lead, and at that point I might
as well have been the Philly fanatic. I was go Phillies, Go,
Go Phillies go. I admit it.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
I'm not ashamed to admit it.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
I admit it. And then I got my wish. Philadelphia
conducted batting practice that years ago. I used to go
to batting practice. They hit the ball harder during the
game than they do in batting practice. Okay, extended BP
for the fight in Phills against that wobbly Dodger bullpen,
(04:27):
and Philadelphia put up six runs in the sixth inning,
five consecutive.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
It's ended with six runs.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Then the Tochers came back to tie the game, and
of course the Phillies teeing off more on that Dodger bullpen.
They ended up hitting another big home run the ninth.
Then he ended up with a nine to six victory
in the game. And we again, we don't only talk
about baseball other than the playoffs, and we picked our
spots at this time of the year. But this is
the exception of the rule. And then I saw some
of Dave Roberts commentary after the game, and Dave Roberts
(04:57):
said that it was predetermined that the decision was made
prior to the game, that Otani was only gonna go
five innings no matter what. Now, keep in mind, he
had only thrown sixty eight pitches. Sixty eight pitches, and
this schmndrick, Dave Roberts takes him out of the game.
(05:18):
Sixty eight pitches out of the game, no hitter. It
doesn't matter, all right, So let us discuss. Give me
your school of thought on the Dodgers' philosophy. It's the
organizational philosophy led by Dave Roberts, who's in the dugout
for pulling sho Hail Tani from a no hitter after
just sixty eight pitches. So I've got jim Nance Milli Vanilli,
(05:43):
and tiny vodka bottle, and we will combine all of
these things together and we are going to make corn
dogs because the Dodgers have a lot of time beating
corn dogs because they're not gonna be in the playoffs
very long with these morons are anyway, all right, So
a let's just start with this. I've determined based on
years and years of watching this in this era of
(06:05):
the Dodgers, this is on brand. It is on brand.
Dave Roberts and the Dodgers are the only team in
baseball that consistently, consistently does this. Like there are other
teams that do it occasionally, the Dodgers lead all of
baseball in this. Individual greatness is not allowed when you
(06:28):
play for the Dodgers, it is not allowed. Dave Roberts
has taken more pitchers out with no hitters than anyone
in the history of baseball. That's my stat I don't
even know if it is true. We're just gonna go
with it. And they always do it out of an
abundance of caution, which drives me bukers. Okay, drives me bokers.
Nobody knows when someone's gonna get hurt. Nobody knows what
(06:50):
the perfect amount of pitches is. People say a hundred pitches,
but that's only because it's a round number, and people
love round numbers.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
And there have been pitchers from the.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Old school that way more than that and didn't have
any problems. And there are pitchers in the modern game
that throw a lot less than one hundred pitches. They're
hurt all the time. But yet gotta pull o'tani, Gotta
take o'tani out of the game, right and put the
parade of terribles, the horribles out of the bullpen there
(07:18):
and its organizational malpractice is what it is. And the
doughters have mastered now. As I said on the Socials,
if Dave Roberts managed Nolan Ryan, the greatest strikeout artist
in baseball history, if Dave Roberts managed Nolan Ryan, he
would have ended his career with no no hitters, zero,
no no hitters. Bumpkis all right. He'd be He'd be
(07:40):
sitting the dugout after the fifth inning and Dave Roberts
would say, hey, Nolan, I got to talk to you,
and Dave would go down and Nolan would say, yes, skip,
what do you need?
Speaker 2 (07:51):
And Roberts would then.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Explain that that seventy two pitches which you threw, that
that's what the computer says. We got to take you
out because we don't like your chances facing the lineup
the third time through.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Well, wait a minute, in.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
A previous life, I had seven no hitters. Doesn't matter,
doesn't matter, doesn't matter. You'd never even have heard of
the Ryan Express, the greatest strikeout pitcher of all time,
if he got to play with Dave Roberts.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
It's unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
And then the other part about this, the Dodgers coddle
these guys. They absolutely call you baby. They're pitchers. They
hide behind pitch counts and the analytics, and they are
convinced that they are the smartest people in the room.
And you're a moron. I'm a dumb dumb. We're all
idiots and they know everything. And what's the result. It's
(08:42):
a kunga line of Tommy John surgeries. You get it,
Tommy John, You get it, Tommy John. You get a
Tommy John. As Jim Nance would say, all right, they've
turned elbow surgery, Tommy John surgery into a franchise tradition
unlike any other. It's right next to the Dodger Dog
and the late great Vin Scully. That's the Dodgers, all right.
(09:04):
That's how they operate. A pyramid of shredded ligaments behind
Dodger Stadium, from their pictures, and despite all the evidence
indicating what they are doing is fundamentally broken. All right,
what they are doing doesn't work. They won't change. They
will not They're stubborn. They will not change, they will
(09:25):
not adapt, won't do it. It's kind of like bad parenting. Now,
you think about bad parenting. If you're a parent and
you expect very little from your children, you're going to
get very little from your children. If you expect greatness,
you may get greatness, but at least you'll get some
good stuff, even if it's not greatness. And Dave Roberts
(09:46):
so robotic, and he's the faces. I realize there's other
people making these decisions, and he's just getting a fat
check to hang out with the sports writers and bust
balls before the game. But Dave Roberts a robotics by
the book, and it's middle manager bull crap, which I
can't stand. There's no room for the human element in coaching,
(10:08):
Like sometimes you have to trust your gut. Occasionally you
have to trust your gut. It does not happen. And
this is a great example. They had Otani, who's on
the mound dealing and no, cannot do it, cannot have it,
cannot risk it, abundance of caution add cannot do it.
The iPad in the dugout says, five innings max, I
(10:29):
am merely following my orders. Yeah, okay, So what happened?
They go to the bullpen and give up nine runs?
Nine runs rather than have a picture push the limits.
You never push the limits of the human body and
test the boundaries, which I thought was kind of athletic competition,
(10:49):
testing the limits and things like that, But I guess not.
Things have changed, not for the better, but they Again.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
This is the whole thing, and it drives me nuts.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
To Dodgers. Organizational philosophy is to have guys the bare
minimum clock in.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Just do enough.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Make it look like you're busy when you're futzing around
your phone. Just make it look like you're actually doing
something right, and that's it, and just do enough. Never
ever strive, never ever strive for anything more than that.
Don't do it. That's the Dodgers. Don't expect greatness. Because
they don't expect greatness, and you get paid a lot
of money. There's no room for improv no room for
(11:25):
improv at all. Just the dogma of the nerd. The
dogma of the nerd. That's the Dodgers. It's a box
checking exercise. I have a couple people I still know
over there when I did stuff years ago with the Dodgers,
and I actually was sending messages to a few of them,
and I said, listen, you could literally take anyone out
(11:46):
of the pavilion a Dodger stadium and put them in
the dugout as long as they can just follow the script.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
It's unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
All right, Now, turning the pace, we go to the NFL.
Why why not?
Speaker 2 (11:55):
And we're gonna start in Philadelphia.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
The eat Hey gee we e egles. They're left tackle
Jordan by Latta not happy. He's had enough of the
evil media. He's upset. You see this, He's upset with
the media narrative that his team won the Super Bowl
rematch against the Chiefs this past weekend because of Tushy.
That's right. During a Philly radio interview. I'm sure that
(12:20):
was riveting Jordan Mylatta rather than me, say let's go
to the audio tip. Here's the Eagles left tackle commenting
on his distaste for the media stories regarding the outcome
of that Eagle Chiefs game.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
I understand the outrage. What I don't understand is them
using it as an excuse to why we won the game.
I think it's incredibly disrespectful to our defense and our
special teams who bowled out my brother's on defense, the
special teams who bought out that game, who had outbacks.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
When we went moving the ball or we went doing anything.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
That pisces me off because we give so much of
this game and to kind of base of a short
yardage play that is a bull play and say that
we won the game off that, but not not how
a defense played, not how our special teams have played,
putting us in those positions. You know, I think it's
I think it's bull crap. I just think it's rubbish.
That's absolute rubbish.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
Man.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
It makes me makes my blood boil just singing about it.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
All right, So, question, what is the most puzzling thing
about the Eagles left tackle?
Speaker 4 (13:21):
There?
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Jordan Marlatta grumbling, grumble, grumble, grumble about the media's obsession
with the Tuschwitz.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
By the way, that's either.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
A accent from from from Georgia or from Australia. One
of those two. Anyway, No, he's from Australia, so this
is a rather bizarre mountain to die on. Like, and
by the way, he's from Australia, does he really know
American football? I mean, let's be honest here, come on,
I mean, it's a rugby play. It's a rugby play.
(13:47):
It's like Ozzie rules football. So here's I don't want
to understand why these guys don't embrace it. I've said this,
like their coach is like a schmuck. Everyone hates who's
not an Eagle fan, Nick Siriannis. So why not just
embrace the dark side? Right? Be Darth Vader, be Palpatine,
be the become the meme, let the hate flow through
you all that. Instead, you've got Jordan Mylotta out there,
(14:12):
who's on the radios, you heard, and he's pouting like
somebody left him out of the group chat, like he's
upset by that.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Many around the NFL are.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Starting to reevaluate the philadel Fi Eagles, right, and this
is what Jordan Mylotta doesn't like and the Eagles don't like.
And I get it.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
I wouldn't like it either if I was the Eagles.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
But people are revisiting the Eagles here in this success,
and they're like, well, wait a minute. You know this
is about as authentic as the Grammy that Milli Vanilli
won back in the day.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
If you don't know who that is, look it up.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
It's a they did lip syncing, very popular years ago,
and they did lip syncing. They never sing the song Curl.
You know it's true, you know it's true. Is it
wrong to say that the Eagles are the Milli Vanilli
of the twenty twenty five NFL?
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Right now?
Speaker 1 (14:54):
They're one trick. Their lip syncing is what they're doing,
and they're really lipsticking their way through the NFL with
that one play. So if I ask you what is
great about the Philadelphia Eagles, what is top of the line,
a number one pedigree?
Speaker 5 (15:14):
What is it?
Speaker 2 (15:15):
What are you gonna tell me? Well, they have a
good defense.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Okay, it's not the eighty five Chicago Bears defense. It's okay,
it's fine. Let's peel this thing back, all right, So
we peel it back. Jalen Hurts is he an elite quarterback? Well,
I mean, if you expect a quarterback to throw for
less than one hundred yards in some games, less than
one hundred and fifty yards.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Okay, that's elite for me. That's not a lead. I
know you're just.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Being a critic. Jalen Hurts not elite. Saquon Barkley is elite.
That's terrific, but he's a running back. That doesn't make
it tingle in modern football. It doesn't on defense and
special teams fights, But nobody's posting on social media about
the Eagles defense and special teams. The only thing, the
(16:00):
only thing that is head and shoulders above the rest
of the NFL is the tush push. That's it, end
of it. That's that's all. They're it, and that's it.
That's the entire act of the Philadelphia Eagles. That's it,
and that's why people talk about this and Jordan Mailata
doesn't like it, and the Eagles get all testy about
this because it's it's for them. It's like the Staples,
(16:22):
easy button running that play first and nine every time
it's not first and ten, because if it's if it's
fourth and one, they automatically get the first down. They
convert ninety six point six percent of the time, ninety
six point six percent of the time. That's how they operate.
That's their secret ingredient right there. And so instead of
(16:46):
just laughing it off and say, oh, you know whatever, no,
it makes you look soft the reaction the Eagles have
had to this, And if you're really, really good, you
don't care what people are saying, because you're so dominant,
you don't really care. However, the fact that factions of
the philadel Fi Eagles they're so bothered by this proves
(17:10):
one thing that we have nailed it. That Again, I
don't think you should be banned the toush push. However,
it's going to end up being banned now, Like at
this point, we do the show right now, and in
this moment, if you ask.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Me, will this thing be banned? I say yes.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
But again, my advice here unsolicited advice of the Eagles,
rather than whine and complain about it and have a
conniption fit, is just embrace the tush push, embrace the hate,
because the second that play gets banished by the NFL,
the philadel Fi Eagles become a nine to eight type team.
They're an eight to nine just the middle of the
(17:48):
pack NFC team. They're nothing special with that play. They
are special without that play.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Eh, you know, don't really care about it. All right.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Now, last word, we go to Minnesota, the quarterback shake
up continues and the Vikings filling out their quarterback room
with Desmond Ridder as the backup. Now, I normally would
not would not partake in this because I don't really
care about Desmond Ridder, But the coverage on this got
my attention. So that's what I wanted to talk with
(18:18):
you about. So the question is when where are you
at on the NFL network reporting glowingly that the Vikings
have added Desmond Ridder as a proven experienced starter. All right,
So this is the old case of if you go
and pick up a big heifer at the farm there,
(18:38):
big giant, fat pig, and you put lipstick on it,
it's still a pig. And so Desmond Ridder, we all agree,
we've decided he stinks. And he's got eighteen starts with
the Falcons and the Raiders and sixteen touchdowns, fourteen interceptions.
That's not experienced. That is evidence, is what it is.
It's evidence to show that he's not good. All a
(19:00):
spade a spade. We believe in that, and so stop
treating the people that consume your product like idiots. The
state sponsored NFL media. They propped the news service of
the NFL. People can google things. There's chat, GPT and
other AI platforms now these days, so you can look
up the numbers, you can dig around the numbers and
all that. And if you look, Desmond Ridder is a
(19:21):
dog with fleas. How would you like to meet Kevin O'Connell,
Kevin O'Connell. It was all a quarterback whisperer. Kevin O'Connell.
The man's got Carson Wentz on one side of the
quarterback room and Desmond Ridder on the other side. Uh,
this like raiding the mini bar. You're really really hungry.
You go to your hotel, you raid the mini bar
(19:41):
after your flight got canceled. You haven't eaten, the restaurants
are closed. You end up getting a little tiny bottle
of vodka and you have like five M and ms
that you pay thirty five dollars for and then you
immediately have therapy on speed dial. Is it's depressing? Carson
Wentz and Desmond Ridder the dynam make fire duo, as
in dumpster fire, not good fire, dumpster fire here.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
And so that's the quarterback room.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
It smells It smells like a wet dog, is what
it smells like, My God, rolled in garbage. And there's
the NFL Network, those bastions of truth who are reported.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Oh no, no, it's like that.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
They love. They must love polishing turds over there, they
must love it. It's like Desmond Ritters, the Hope Diamond. No,
it's a turd, that's what it is. But he's an
experienced starter. What are you talking about. I'd like to
quote Nick Saban who famously said back at Alabama, when
was asked about experience and returning starters and all that,
(20:39):
he pointed out that just because you have experience does
not mean you're good. It does not mean that you're good.
And so it's gas lighting People's what it is. And
I think there they think we're all a bunch of rubes.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
And you can.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Maybe speak for yourself. I don't believe I'm a rube.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
And you do not need some kind of telescope to
realize that desmer Ritter stinks. You just don't.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
You don't need that.
Speaker 1 (21:03):

can see that it is The Ben Mahlor Show as

We began here with the Dodgers as Otani taking out
five no hit inittings, another masterpiece by Dave Roberts and
(23:29):
the Nerds. I'm mentioning Dave Roberts mostly because he's the
face of this, even though he's just a useful idiot.
That the front office is telling him what to do.
Ferg Dog says Ben. If you're tired of being fed
up with the Dodgers and Dave Roberts, it's time to
make the switch. Become a Halo Hawk. We don't pull
(23:50):
pitchers who have no hitters going under any scenario. Trust me,
last time the Angels had a picture throw a no hitter?
How long ago was that? Is that? Jared Weaver? Jared Weaver?
Speaker 7 (24:02):
Wow, that's my guess. I'm pretty sure that was the
last one.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Yeah, it seems about right. At least a decade ago, probably,
Oh yeah, easily, yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
At least a decade ago.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
Not a Burner Wright since it has Ben, I know,
I know a guy that makes the new NFL hats
and he's ready to mass produce the Ben Maller cap.
Just let me know how many you need.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Well, there it is.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
It's got the my logo and it's the size of
a penny, which is appropriate, very nice.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Right in the middle of that has a good looking thing.
Speaker 7 (24:30):
I'm an idiot. I'm wrong. I was wrong.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
When was it Cooper two weeks ago?
Speaker 7 (24:33):
Read dett Meers did it in twenty twenty two?
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Really, but nobody watched it, so did it happen? Nobody
saw it?
Speaker 7 (24:40):
But yeah, Jared Weavers was in twenty twelve.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
All right, Ryan writes in Ryan, who is a regular
listener to the show, lives in San Diego, but his
heart is in Socals. Oh see, He says, Ben, I
agree with you one thousand percent on your Dodger modelogue
as as long as Sekwan Barkley doesn't go Eric Dickerson
on the Rams and the Rams should beat Philly this weekend.
(25:04):
The he says, the Vikings will regret not putting all
their chips in on Sam Darneld Well, no, I don't.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
I don't agree with that last part.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Let's not. Let's not get crazy here. Mark from Queen's
Rights In he says, hey, big Ben and the Eagles
offensive lineman Jordan Mylotta. He could just blame it on
the rain, like lip syncing Millie Vanilli before the the
untimely demise of half of million Vanilla. Now interesting fun fact,
(25:33):
Mark that I in my my early days in radio,
I was working at AM eleven fifty in La which
was kiss Am down the Hall was the iconic kiss
f film the top forty station, one of the great
radio stations of all time, right, and they hired as
a gag half of Milli Vanilli. Once the scandal came out,
(25:56):
they hired the obviously the living half of Million Vanilli.
So he was doing a one hour midday show at
Kiss FM, and I was doing the midday show down
the hall. So I ran into this guy and it
was I think they the undoing of that band. Weren't
they doing a gig somewhere like in Rhode Island or something?
If I remember the story, and I vaguely remember a
(26:17):
long time ago, but this band was very popular and
was exposed. They never sang the songs. They were all
lip syncing, and I think they were doing a gig
in like Rhode Island, and the soundtrack skipped while they
were lip syncing and came a bit of a problem
for them. And that was the beginning of the end.
(26:37):
If I remember barbecuing Lane out of retirement, checks and
says Dave Roberts still took the team out for ice
cream after the game, right, Ben, Yeah, they had ice cream. Well,
actually what they did is because the players can't go
out as a team because they have things to do,
so they brought a mister softy truck up and they
put that right near the clubhouse of the players who
get some nice mister Softy on their way out. Scott
(26:58):
god Wrights, and he says, it's ironic that Dave roberts
nickname is doc since doctors are smart. He's all right,
very very funny, as I would expect from Scott as
a comedian. Rob says, the real question is how will
the biggest Dodger apologists spin this to bail out Dave Roberts. Well,
I know Dave Roberts. I really liked him in that spot.
(27:21):
I really liked him. Let's go to the phones. Eric
is in SoCal and he's in the leadoff chair. Hello, Eric,
I see a lot of Ambia noise. Hello, I hear
a lot of Ambia noise.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Hello Eric.
Speaker 8 (27:31):
Let me try or something, but so give game. I
started thinking, as Otani, uh, the flashbacks from playing with
the Angels, because kind of came out come is all
their games because he's going to lead with his pitching
hits a bullpen in and then I'll just evaporate and
they lose the game.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
Well, of course, the difference is that would be impossible
because he's probably blinded by the glare of that World
Series trophy they won thanks to the yank He's incompetence.
In Game five of the World Series where they gave
the game to the Dodgers because they couldn't play baseball,
they come by defense.
Speaker 5 (28:06):
What is that?
Speaker 1 (28:06):
What is that?
Speaker 2 (28:07):
What is going on?
Speaker 8 (28:08):
What was that noise of these new trucks?
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Oh man, dude, very careful? Wow that would did you
cross over the lane or something? What happened?
Speaker 8 (28:19):
I slightly drifted on the on the bog line over here,
and okay, it's a stimulation strip.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Oh man, Wait a minute, I watched hold secon Now.
I watched that episode of The Simpsons years ago. I
thought those trucks drive themselves. I didn't realize you actually
have to drive them.
Speaker 8 (28:37):
I got one of those yet.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
No, Now, do you have a sleeper? Do you have
like a bed in the back and the whole setup
or is this just a temporaries that?
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Yeah, so you don't have that.
Speaker 8 (28:46):
Just a two front seats and that's nothing in the back.
So alright, going to San Diego?
Speaker 2 (28:51):
So gotcha?
Speaker 1 (28:53):
All right, Well say hello to everyone at Camp Pendleton
on your way down to San Diego.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
All right, all right, all right, there you go. Thank
you there Eric checking in.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
So congratulations to the Dodgers. It was historical suck the
Los Angeles Dodgers, managed by Dave Roberts and an army
of nerds. The Dodgers became the first team since at
least nineteen oh six. You do the math, so it's
twenty twenty five right now, So that's almost one hundred
and twenty years. My computer like brain tells me the
(29:23):
first team since nineteen oh six. That's right, mal math.
To get five or more no hit innings from a
starting pitcher and have the bullpen allow nine or more
runs in the game. Wow, that had not happen. Think
about the invention since nineteen oh six. Think about the
things that are in the world now that we're not
(29:46):
there in nineteen oh six and here we are. So wow,
that is wild Man alive. Just absolutely perfect, just absolutely
the things that we did not have in nineteen oh
six on the plane that we do have now. So
there you go, outstanding, that's that's the Dodgers. But everything's fine,
(30:07):
nothing to worry about here. And where those Dodger apologies
that normally call up are they in hiding? Even they
can't defend Dave Roberts. Where's that dope? And Bakersfield? Where's
that loser? He's not Andrew. Where's Andrew and Bakersfield? Oh,
everything's fun, everything's oh, guy shoving up your tucks with
the tush push All right, I guess exactly now. We've
(30:28):
had a lot of NFL injuries over the last week,
a few days here. It's embarrassing, guys. Two weeks into
the year, we've had what five six quarterbacks already knocked
out or could be knocked out. And in baseball the playoffs,
there's only a couple weeks ago in the baseball season,
then the playoffs begin and there are some big time
(30:49):
injuries in the playoffs. My favorite baseball injury, though, the
Cheating Astros. Your Don Alvarez, the mammoth sized four Dodger
minor leaguer jr. Don Alvarez of the Cheating Astros.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
Is going to be out.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
He suffered an injury while crossing home plate in the
bottom of the first He was injured by hitting home plate.
And they say baseball players aren't tough. What's wrong with you?
Speaker 2 (31:20):
So anyway?
Speaker 1 (31:20):
You Don Alvarez expected to miss an extended period of
time because of a They say it's a sprained ankle.
It sounds worse than that, but according to the cheating
Astros manager Joe Espata, it's going to keep him out
for a while. It's he says, let's not get into
day's weeks or any of that. Well, no, that's important,
(31:41):
you dummy. That's important the playoffs starting, like two weeks
the postseason begins and the Astro's hanging around. You look
at the baseball standings here and it is getting very
very interesting down the home stretch. So because this is
manipulated by Baseball, they kept adding wildcard teams and so
this stuff ends up getting manipulated.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
But the wild card.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
Standings right now, if you look at it, the Astros
have a half game lead over the Red Sox for
the second wild card. But then you look at the
American League West standings and you're like, well, wait a minute, here,
I'm looking at that, and then the Mariners are a
half game up one game in the lost column. So
it's neck and neck between the Mariners, who are on
(32:27):
a burner ten games streak, and then the Astros, both
likely to make the playoffs. The Texas Rangers were looking
pretty good. And now they've lost three games in a row,
much to the dismay, much to the dismay of our
friend in Arlington, Ed in Arlington, let's call the phones
(32:49):
now to defend Dave robertson competence, we go to Andrew
in Bakersfield. Defend your guy. Come on, Andrew, defend your guy.
Defend him, Andro, defend him.
Speaker 5 (33:00):
Okay, so I missed most of the game.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
Very convenient, very convenient.
Speaker 5 (33:06):
But my only question is if you know that that
show Hay is on a special schedule because of.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
What he does.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
He take the short bus to the stadium.
Speaker 5 (33:17):
Okay, So if Dave Roberts would have left him in
and show Hey threw out his arm, wouldn't you just
be saying the exact opposite.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
No, I would be saying, that's fine. He threw sixty
eight pitches. What Why don't you just announce it? My
name is Andrew and Bakersfield. I'm a woos. Why don't
you just announce that?
Speaker 2 (33:32):
Andrew?
Speaker 1 (33:33):
Just announce it right now, announce it right now, just
say it. Say it.
Speaker 5 (33:37):
How many innings did he pitch last time?
Speaker 1 (33:39):
He said sixty. I don't care about inning sixty eight
pitches you're again, how many you're a sixty eight pitches
he threw last time? I don't care how many pitches.
Sixty eight pitches is nothing. And if he's that soft,
he shouldn't be playing Major League Baseball. How about that?
Get him out of there, Get him out there.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
If he's you're worried.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
About his delicate arm, he's already had Tommy John twice.
Who cares let him have it a third time. It's done.
We do way.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
All right?
Speaker 1 (34:13):
Yeah, I mean come on, I mean, I know we
have like terrible callers, but that guy sucks. Well.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
Yeah, anyway, we'll try to get some good calls.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox is the number
eight seven seven nine nine six six three sixty nine.
And we'll have the player of the day coming up
a little bit. Here is the who am I? Game?
This is where I pretend to be somebody else. Thus
we call it the who who Am I?
Speaker 2 (34:37):
Game? You see how that works there?
Speaker 1 (34:38):
So in defeat, show hey O Tony, because you know
I gotta protect his little arm there. Shoeyotani became the
fifth player to pitch five plus hitless innings and hit
a home run in the same game. Of course, his
team lost that game. I was the last pitcher to
do that. Again, who last pitcher prior to show? I
(35:00):
was the last one to pitch five or more innings
and hit a home run in the same game? Who
am I?
Speaker 2 (35:07):
That is the question.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
The answer. We'll get to it and we will do it.
Speaker 2 (35:12):
Next.

It all right real quick? What you got for me?
Speaker 8 (37:59):
One?
Speaker 10 (38:00):
Straight up Roberts, this is not a team for him.
You can just see it his face. He's not even
a good Polker player, you can say. In this panic
mode and the Dodgers going to extremes, we know we're
gonna lose. He doesn't know how to bring in a
runner from seconds. The Dodgers only live up one thing.
We got to hit a home run. They don't believe
theace hits like. We can sit home and we know
(38:21):
what we know what Dave roberts next move is. He's not.
Speaker 1 (38:27):
Well he I would argue he is because he's doing
what they want him to do. That's the problem. It's
a it's an it's an organizational philosophy.
Speaker 2 (38:34):
Careful.
Speaker 1 (38:34):
I don't know what that was, but it's an that
didn't sound good, but it's an organizational philosophy.

And then we'll get back to the calls here. In defeat,

we also have the YouTube page for Benny Versus the

the Thursday night NFL game up on that channel, so
make sure to follow that as well. But here an
hour number one of the pod, Give me your school
of thought on the story everyone's talking about in baseball,
(00:43):
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts pulling show Hail Tani from a
no hitter after sixty eight pitches in five innings. What's
that all about? Also, what's the most puzzling thing about egos?
Left tackle Jordan Milatta's grumbling about the media's obsession the
tushy pushy. We'll talk about that. Also, where are you
at on the NFL network glowingly reporting the Vikings edition
(01:07):
of Desmond Ritter as a proven experienced quarterback number two.
We'll talk about that as well. All of it's coming
your way right now here. It is our number one.
So how does one stop greatness? I don't know in
(01:29):
all sports, but I know in baseball. If you want
to slow down greatness, have Dave Roberts and the Nerds
run your baseball team. Welcome in the beginning of another
night of the Ben Malor Shaw. We are in the
air everywhere the malar of mouthpiece has been activated as
(01:52):
we pay hush money unless we don't coast to coast,
border the order and beyond on the vast and unmeasured,

So our lead this hour is from baseball. Now. I
realize we don't normally talk baseball during the regular season.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
It's not much of a talker.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
I picked my spots on that, especially when there's football
going on. Another amazing night of baseball at Dodger Stadium,
the Dodgers and the Phillies. Phillies winning the National League East,
not that that means much anymore, but they did do that,
and trying to wrap up the home field advantage is
one of the top two teams. They and the Brewers
(03:12):
will likely get home field advantage. Not that that matters.
There's really no home field in baseball. So anyway, get
to the point, please, So show Hail Tani might know
this by now, maybe you haven't been paying attention. So
show hal Tani was pitching a no hitter. No granted
it was midway through the game. It was five innings
into the game, so it wasn't in the eighth or
the ninth inn he but he was pitching no hit
(03:35):
baseball for five innings, and then Dave Roberts did what
Dave Roberts does. He cuts the balls off history. That's
what Dave Roberts does. He knewter's history, any chance at history.
Dave Roberts chop chop, cut cut, there goes history, and
he pulled them over the game. Now Dodgers had a
(03:55):
four to nothing lead, and at that point I might
as well have been the Philly fanatic. I was go Phillies, Go,
Go Phillies go. I admit it.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
I'm not ashamed to admit it.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
I admit it. And then I got my wish. Philadelphia
conducted batting practice that years ago. I used to go
to batting practice. They hit the ball harder during the
game than they do in batting practice. Okay, extended BP
for the fight in Phills against that wobbly Dodger bullpen,
(04:27):
and Philadelphia put up six runs in the sixth inning,
five consecutive.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
It's ended with six runs.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Then the Tochers came back to tie the game, and
of course the Phillies teeing off more on that Dodger bullpen.
They ended up hitting another big home run the ninth.
Then he ended up with a nine to six victory
in the game. And we again, we don't only talk
about baseball other than the playoffs, and we picked our
spots at this time of the year. But this is
the exception of the rule. And then I saw some
of Dave Roberts commentary after the game, and Dave Roberts
(04:57):
said that it was predetermined that the decision was made
prior to the game, that Otani was only gonna go
five innings no matter what. Now, keep in mind, he
had only thrown sixty eight pitches. Sixty eight pitches, and
this schmndrick, Dave Roberts takes him out of the game.
(05:18):
Sixty eight pitches out of the game, no hitter. It
doesn't matter, all right, So let us discuss. Give me
your school of thought on the Dodgers' philosophy. It's the
organizational philosophy led by Dave Roberts, who's in the dugout
for pulling sho Hail Tani from a no hitter after
just sixty eight pitches. So I've got jim Nance Milli Vanilli,
(05:43):
and tiny vodka bottle, and we will combine all of
these things together and we are going to make corn
dogs because the Dodgers have a lot of time beating
corn dogs because they're not gonna be in the playoffs
very long with these morons are anyway, all right, So
a let's just start with this. I've determined based on
years and years of watching this in this era of
(06:05):
the Dodgers, this is on brand. It is on brand.
Dave Roberts and the Dodgers are the only team in
baseball that consistently, consistently does this. Like there are other
teams that do it occasionally, the Dodgers lead all of
baseball in this. Individual greatness is not allowed when you
(06:28):
play for the Dodgers, it is not allowed. Dave Roberts
has taken more pitchers out with no hitters than anyone
in the history of baseball. That's my stat I don't
even know if it is true. We're just gonna go
with it. And they always do it out of an
abundance of caution, which drives me bukers. Okay, drives me bokers.
Nobody knows when someone's gonna get hurt. Nobody knows what
(06:50):
the perfect amount of pitches is. People say a hundred pitches,
but that's only because it's a round number, and people
love round numbers.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
And there have been pitchers from the.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Old school that way more than that and didn't have
any problems. And there are pitchers in the modern game
that throw a lot less than one hundred pitches. They're
hurt all the time. But yet gotta pull o'tani, Gotta
take o'tani out of the game, right and put the
parade of terribles, the horribles out of the bullpen there
(07:18):
and its organizational malpractice is what it is. And the
doughters have mastered now. As I said on the Socials,
if Dave Roberts managed Nolan Ryan, the greatest strikeout artist
in baseball history, if Dave Roberts managed Nolan Ryan, he
would have ended his career with no no hitters, zero,
no no hitters. Bumpkis all right. He'd be He'd be
(07:40):
sitting the dugout after the fifth inning and Dave Roberts
would say, hey, Nolan, I got to talk to you,
and Dave would go down and Nolan would say, yes, skip,
what do you need?
Speaker 2 (07:51):
And Roberts would then.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Explain that that seventy two pitches which you threw, that
that's what the computer says. We got to take you
out because we don't like your chances facing the lineup
the third time through.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Well, wait a minute, in.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
A previous life, I had seven no hitters. Doesn't matter,
doesn't matter, doesn't matter. You'd never even have heard of
the Ryan Express, the greatest strikeout pitcher of all time,
if he got to play with Dave Roberts.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
It's unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
And then the other part about this, the Dodgers coddle
these guys. They absolutely call you baby. They're pitchers. They
hide behind pitch counts and the analytics, and they are
convinced that they are the smartest people in the room.
And you're a moron. I'm a dumb dumb. We're all
idiots and they know everything. And what's the result. It's
(08:42):
a kunga line of Tommy John surgeries. You get it,
Tommy John, You get it, Tommy John. You get a
Tommy John. As Jim Nance would say, all right, they've
turned elbow surgery, Tommy John surgery into a franchise tradition
unlike any other. It's right next to the Dodger Dog
and the late great Vin Scully. That's the Dodgers, all right.
(09:04):
That's how they operate. A pyramid of shredded ligaments behind
Dodger Stadium, from their pictures, and despite all the evidence
indicating what they are doing is fundamentally broken. All right,
what they are doing doesn't work. They won't change. They
will not They're stubborn. They will not change, they will
(09:25):
not adapt, won't do it. It's kind of like bad parenting. Now,
you think about bad parenting. If you're a parent and
you expect very little from your children, you're going to
get very little from your children. If you expect greatness,
you may get greatness, but at least you'll get some
good stuff, even if it's not greatness. And Dave Roberts
(09:46):
so robotic, and he's the faces. I realize there's other
people making these decisions, and he's just getting a fat
check to hang out with the sports writers and bust
balls before the game. But Dave Roberts a robotics by
the book, and it's middle manager bull crap, which I
can't stand. There's no room for the human element in coaching,
(10:08):
Like sometimes you have to trust your gut. Occasionally you
have to trust your gut. It does not happen. And
this is a great example. They had Otani, who's on
the mound dealing and no, cannot do it, cannot have it,
cannot risk it, abundance of caution add cannot do it.
The iPad in the dugout says, five innings max, I
(10:29):
am merely following my orders. Yeah, okay, So what happened?
They go to the bullpen and give up nine runs?
Nine runs rather than have a picture push the limits.
You never push the limits of the human body and
test the boundaries, which I thought was kind of athletic competition,
(10:49):
testing the limits and things like that, But I guess not.
Things have changed, not for the better, but they Again.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
This is the whole thing, and it drives me nuts.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
To Dodgers. Organizational philosophy is to have guys the bare
minimum clock in.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Just do enough.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Make it look like you're busy when you're futzing around
your phone. Just make it look like you're actually doing
something right, and that's it, and just do enough. Never
ever strive, never ever strive for anything more than that.
Don't do it. That's the Dodgers. Don't expect greatness. Because
they don't expect greatness, and you get paid a lot
of money. There's no room for improv no room for
(11:25):
improv at all. Just the dogma of the nerd. The
dogma of the nerd. That's the Dodgers. It's a box
checking exercise. I have a couple people I still know
over there when I did stuff years ago with the Dodgers,
and I actually was sending messages to a few of them,
and I said, listen, you could literally take anyone out
(11:46):
of the pavilion a Dodger stadium and put them in
the dugout as long as they can just follow the script.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
It's unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
All right, Now, turning the pace, we go to the NFL.
Why why not?
Speaker 2 (11:55):
And we're gonna start in Philadelphia.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
The eat Hey gee we e egles. They're left tackle
Jordan by Latta not happy. He's had enough of the
evil media. He's upset. You see this, He's upset with
the media narrative that his team won the Super Bowl
rematch against the Chiefs this past weekend because of Tushy.
That's right. During a Philly radio interview. I'm sure that
(12:20):
was riveting Jordan Mylatta rather than me, say let's go
to the audio tip. Here's the Eagles left tackle commenting
on his distaste for the media stories regarding the outcome
of that Eagle Chiefs game.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
I understand the outrage. What I don't understand is them
using it as an excuse to why we won the game.
I think it's incredibly disrespectful to our defense and our
special teams who bowled out my brother's on defense, the
special teams who bought out that game, who had outbacks.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
When we went moving the ball or we went doing anything.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
That pisces me off because we give so much of
this game and to kind of base of a short
yardage play that is a bull play and say that
we won the game off that, but not not how
a defense played, not how our special teams have played,
putting us in those positions. You know, I think it's
I think it's bull crap. I just think it's rubbish.
That's absolute rubbish.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
Man.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
It makes me makes my blood boil just singing about it.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
All right, So, question, what is the most puzzling thing
about the Eagles left tackle?
Speaker 4 (13:21):
There?
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Jordan Marlatta grumbling, grumble, grumble, grumble about the media's obsession
with the Tuschwitz.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
By the way, that's either.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
A accent from from from Georgia or from Australia. One
of those two. Anyway, No, he's from Australia, so this
is a rather bizarre mountain to die on. Like, and
by the way, he's from Australia, does he really know
American football? I mean, let's be honest here, come on,
I mean, it's a rugby play. It's a rugby play.
(13:47):
It's like Ozzie rules football. So here's I don't want
to understand why these guys don't embrace it. I've said this,
like their coach is like a schmuck. Everyone hates who's
not an Eagle fan, Nick Siriannis. So why not just
embrace the dark side? Right? Be Darth Vader, be Palpatine,
be the become the meme, let the hate flow through
you all that. Instead, you've got Jordan Mylotta out there,
(14:12):
who's on the radios, you heard, and he's pouting like
somebody left him out of the group chat, like he's
upset by that.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Many around the NFL are.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Starting to reevaluate the philadel Fi Eagles, right, and this
is what Jordan Mylotta doesn't like and the Eagles don't like.
And I get it.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
I wouldn't like it either if I was the Eagles.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
But people are revisiting the Eagles here in this success,
and they're like, well, wait a minute. You know this
is about as authentic as the Grammy that Milli Vanilli
won back in the day.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
If you don't know who that is, look it up.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
It's a they did lip syncing, very popular years ago,
and they did lip syncing. They never sing the song Curl.
You know it's true, you know it's true. Is it
wrong to say that the Eagles are the Milli Vanilli
of the twenty twenty five NFL?
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Right now?
Speaker 1 (14:54):
They're one trick. Their lip syncing is what they're doing,
and they're really lipsticking their way through the NFL with
that one play. So if I ask you what is
great about the Philadelphia Eagles, what is top of the line,
a number one pedigree?
Speaker 5 (15:14):
What is it?
Speaker 2 (15:15):
What are you gonna tell me? Well, they have a
good defense.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Okay, it's not the eighty five Chicago Bears defense. It's okay,
it's fine. Let's peel this thing back, all right, So
we peel it back. Jalen Hurts is he an elite quarterback? Well,
I mean, if you expect a quarterback to throw for
less than one hundred yards in some games, less than
one hundred and fifty yards.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Okay, that's elite for me. That's not a lead. I
know you're just.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Being a critic. Jalen Hurts not elite. Saquon Barkley is elite.
That's terrific, but he's a running back. That doesn't make
it tingle in modern football. It doesn't on defense and
special teams fights, But nobody's posting on social media about
the Eagles defense and special teams. The only thing, the
(16:00):
only thing that is head and shoulders above the rest
of the NFL is the tush push. That's it, end
of it. That's that's all. They're it, and that's it.
That's the entire act of the Philadelphia Eagles. That's it,
and that's why people talk about this and Jordan Mailata
doesn't like it, and the Eagles get all testy about
this because it's it's for them. It's like the Staples,
(16:22):
easy button running that play first and nine every time
it's not first and ten, because if it's if it's
fourth and one, they automatically get the first down. They
convert ninety six point six percent of the time, ninety
six point six percent of the time. That's how they operate.
That's their secret ingredient right there. And so instead of
(16:46):
just laughing it off and say, oh, you know whatever, no,
it makes you look soft the reaction the Eagles have
had to this, And if you're really, really good, you
don't care what people are saying, because you're so dominant,
you don't really care. However, the fact that factions of
the philadel Fi Eagles they're so bothered by this proves
(17:10):
one thing that we have nailed it. That Again, I
don't think you should be banned the toush push. However,
it's going to end up being banned now, Like at
this point, we do the show right now, and in
this moment, if you ask.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Me, will this thing be banned? I say yes.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
But again, my advice here unsolicited advice of the Eagles,
rather than whine and complain about it and have a
conniption fit, is just embrace the tush push, embrace the hate,
because the second that play gets banished by the NFL,
the philadel Fi Eagles become a nine to eight type team.
They're an eight to nine just the middle of the
(17:48):
pack NFC team. They're nothing special with that play. They
are special without that play.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Eh, you know, don't really care about it. All right.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Now, last word, we go to Minnesota, the quarterback shake
up continues and the Vikings filling out their quarterback room
with Desmond Ridder as the backup. Now, I normally would
not would not partake in this because I don't really
care about Desmond Ridder, But the coverage on this got
my attention. So that's what I wanted to talk with
(18:18):
you about. So the question is when where are you
at on the NFL network reporting glowingly that the Vikings
have added Desmond Ridder as a proven experienced starter. All right,
So this is the old case of if you go
and pick up a big heifer at the farm there,
(18:38):
big giant, fat pig, and you put lipstick on it,
it's still a pig. And so Desmond Ridder, we all agree,
we've decided he stinks. And he's got eighteen starts with
the Falcons and the Raiders and sixteen touchdowns, fourteen interceptions.
That's not experienced. That is evidence, is what it is.
It's evidence to show that he's not good. All a
(19:00):
spade a spade. We believe in that, and so stop
treating the people that consume your product like idiots. The
state sponsored NFL media. They propped the news service of
the NFL. People can google things. There's chat, GPT and
other AI platforms now these days, so you can look
up the numbers, you can dig around the numbers and
all that. And if you look, Desmond Ridder is a
(19:21):
dog with fleas. How would you like to meet Kevin O'Connell,
Kevin O'Connell. It was all a quarterback whisperer. Kevin O'Connell.
The man's got Carson Wentz on one side of the
quarterback room and Desmond Ridder on the other side. Uh,
this like raiding the mini bar. You're really really hungry.
You go to your hotel, you raid the mini bar
(19:41):
after your flight got canceled. You haven't eaten, the restaurants
are closed. You end up getting a little tiny bottle
of vodka and you have like five M and ms
that you pay thirty five dollars for and then you
immediately have therapy on speed dial. Is it's depressing? Carson
Wentz and Desmond Ridder the dynam make fire duo, as
in dumpster fire, not good fire, dumpster fire here.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
And so that's the quarterback room.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
It smells It smells like a wet dog, is what
it smells like, My God, rolled in garbage. And there's
the NFL Network, those bastions of truth who are reported.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Oh no, no, it's like that.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
They love. They must love polishing turds over there, they
must love it. It's like Desmond Ritters, the Hope Diamond. No,
it's a turd, that's what it is. But he's an
experienced starter. What are you talking about. I'd like to
quote Nick Saban who famously said back at Alabama, when
was asked about experience and returning starters and all that,
(20:39):
he pointed out that just because you have experience does
not mean you're good. It does not mean that you're good.
And so it's gas lighting People's what it is. And
I think there they think we're all a bunch of rubes.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
And you can.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Maybe speak for yourself. I don't believe I'm a rube.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
And you do not need some kind of telescope to
realize that desmer Ritter stinks. You just don't.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
You don't need that.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
And even Stevie Meetpauls who's blind, can can see. He
can see that it is The Ben Mahlor Show as

rand of FSR Tech Queen and Coop at a Bronco Fan.
We began here with the Dodgers as Otani taking out
five no hit inittings, another masterpiece by Dave Roberts and
(23:29):
the Nerds. I'm mentioning Dave Roberts mostly because he's the
face of this, even though he's just a useful idiot.
That the front office is telling him what to do.
Ferg Dog says Ben. If you're tired of being fed
up with the Dodgers and Dave Roberts, it's time to
make the switch. Become a Halo Hawk. We don't pull
(23:50):
pitchers who have no hitters going under any scenario. Trust me,
last time the Angels had a picture throw a no hitter?
How long ago was that? Is that? Jared Weaver? Jared Weaver?
Speaker 7 (24:02):
Wow, that's my guess. I'm pretty sure that was the
last one.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Yeah, it seems about right. At least a decade ago, probably,
Oh yeah, easily, yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
At least a decade ago.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
Not a Burner Wright since it has Ben, I know,
I know a guy that makes the new NFL hats
and he's ready to mass produce the Ben Maller cap.
Just let me know how many you need.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Well, there it is.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
It's got the my logo and it's the size of
a penny, which is appropriate, very nice.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Right in the middle of that has a good looking thing.
Speaker 7 (24:30):
I'm an idiot. I'm wrong. I was wrong.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
When was it Cooper two weeks ago?
Speaker 7 (24:33):
Read dett Meers did it in twenty twenty two?
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Really, but nobody watched it, so did it happen? Nobody
saw it?
Speaker 7 (24:40):
But yeah, Jared Weavers was in twenty twelve.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
All right, Ryan writes in Ryan, who is a regular
listener to the show, lives in San Diego, but his
heart is in Socals. Oh see, He says, Ben, I
agree with you one thousand percent on your Dodger modelogue
as as long as Sekwan Barkley doesn't go Eric Dickerson
on the Rams and the Rams should beat Philly this weekend.
(25:04):
The he says, the Vikings will regret not putting all
their chips in on Sam Darneld Well, no, I don't.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
I don't agree with that last part.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Let's not. Let's not get crazy here. Mark from Queen's
Rights In he says, hey, big Ben and the Eagles
offensive lineman Jordan Mylotta. He could just blame it on
the rain, like lip syncing Millie Vanilli before the the
untimely demise of half of million Vanilla. Now interesting fun fact,
(25:33):
Mark that I in my my early days in radio,
I was working at AM eleven fifty in La which
was kiss Am down the Hall was the iconic kiss
f film the top forty station, one of the great
radio stations of all time, right, and they hired as
a gag half of Milli Vanilli. Once the scandal came out,
(25:56):
they hired the obviously the living half of Million Vanilli.
So he was doing a one hour midday show at
Kiss FM, and I was doing the midday show down
the hall. So I ran into this guy and it
was I think they the undoing of that band. Weren't
they doing a gig somewhere like in Rhode Island or something?
If I remember the story, and I vaguely remember a
(26:17):
long time ago, but this band was very popular and
was exposed. They never sang the songs. They were all
lip syncing, and I think they were doing a gig
in like Rhode Island, and the soundtrack skipped while they
were lip syncing and came a bit of a problem
for them. And that was the beginning of the end.
(26:37):
If I remember barbecuing Lane out of retirement, checks and
says Dave Roberts still took the team out for ice
cream after the game, right, Ben, Yeah, they had ice cream. Well,
actually what they did is because the players can't go
out as a team because they have things to do,
so they brought a mister softy truck up and they
put that right near the clubhouse of the players who
get some nice mister Softy on their way out. Scott
(26:58):
god Wrights, and he says, it's ironic that Dave roberts
nickname is doc since doctors are smart. He's all right,
very very funny, as I would expect from Scott as
a comedian. Rob says, the real question is how will
the biggest Dodger apologists spin this to bail out Dave Roberts. Well,
I know Dave Roberts. I really liked him in that spot.
(27:21):
I really liked him. Let's go to the phones. Eric
is in SoCal and he's in the leadoff chair. Hello, Eric,
I see a lot of Ambia noise. Hello, I hear
a lot of Ambia noise.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Hello Eric.
Speaker 8 (27:31):
Let me try or something, but so give game. I
started thinking, as Otani, uh, the flashbacks from playing with
the Angels, because kind of came out come is all
their games because he's going to lead with his pitching
hits a bullpen in and then I'll just evaporate and
they lose the game.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
Well, of course, the difference is that would be impossible
because he's probably blinded by the glare of that World
Series trophy they won thanks to the yank He's incompetence.
In Game five of the World Series where they gave
the game to the Dodgers because they couldn't play baseball,
they come by defense.
Speaker 5 (28:06):
What is that?
Speaker 1 (28:06):
What is that?
Speaker 2 (28:07):
What is going on?
Speaker 8 (28:08):
What was that noise of these new trucks?
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Oh man, dude, very careful? Wow that would did you
cross over the lane or something? What happened?
Speaker 8 (28:19):
I slightly drifted on the on the bog line over here,
and okay, it's a stimulation strip.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Oh man, Wait a minute, I watched hold secon Now.
I watched that episode of The Simpsons years ago. I
thought those trucks drive themselves. I didn't realize you actually
have to drive them.
Speaker 8 (28:37):
I got one of those yet.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
No, Now, do you have a sleeper? Do you have
like a bed in the back and the whole setup
or is this just a temporaries that?
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Yeah, so you don't have that.
Speaker 8 (28:46):
Just a two front seats and that's nothing in the back.
So alright, going to San Diego?
Speaker 2 (28:51):
So gotcha?
Speaker 1 (28:53):
All right, Well say hello to everyone at Camp Pendleton
on your way down to San Diego.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
All right, all right, all right, there you go. Thank
you there Eric checking in.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
So congratulations to the Dodgers. It was historical suck the
Los Angeles Dodgers, managed by Dave Roberts and an army
of nerds. The Dodgers became the first team since at
least nineteen oh six. You do the math, so it's
twenty twenty five right now, So that's almost one hundred
and twenty years. My computer like brain tells me the
(29:23):
first team since nineteen oh six. That's right, mal math.
To get five or more no hit innings from a
starting pitcher and have the bullpen allow nine or more
runs in the game. Wow, that had not happen. Think
about the invention since nineteen oh six. Think about the
things that are in the world now that we're not
(29:46):
there in nineteen oh six and here we are. So wow,
that is wild Man alive. Just absolutely perfect, just absolutely
the things that we did not have in nineteen oh
six on the plane that we do have now. So
there you go, outstanding, that's that's the Dodgers. But everything's fine,
(30:07):
nothing to worry about here. And where those Dodger apologies
that normally call up are they in hiding? Even they
can't defend Dave Roberts. Where's that dope? And Bakersfield? Where's
that loser? He's not Andrew. Where's Andrew and Bakersfield? Oh,
everything's fun, everything's oh, guy shoving up your tucks with
the tush push All right, I guess exactly now. We've
(30:28):
had a lot of NFL injuries over the last week,
a few days here. It's embarrassing, guys. Two weeks into
the year, we've had what five six quarterbacks already knocked
out or could be knocked out. And in baseball the playoffs,
there's only a couple weeks ago in the baseball season,
then the playoffs begin and there are some big time
(30:49):
injuries in the playoffs. My favorite baseball injury, though, the
Cheating Astros. Your Don Alvarez, the mammoth sized four Dodger
minor leaguer jr. Don Alvarez of the Cheating Astros.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
Is going to be out.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
He suffered an injury while crossing home plate in the
bottom of the first He was injured by hitting home plate.
And they say baseball players aren't tough. What's wrong with you?
Speaker 2 (31:20):
So anyway?
Speaker 1 (31:20):
You Don Alvarez expected to miss an extended period of
time because of a They say it's a sprained ankle.
It sounds worse than that, but according to the cheating
Astros manager Joe Espata, it's going to keep him out
for a while. It's he says, let's not get into
day's weeks or any of that. Well, no, that's important,
(31:41):
you dummy. That's important the playoffs starting, like two weeks
the postseason begins and the Astro's hanging around. You look
at the baseball standings here and it is getting very
very interesting down the home stretch. So because this is
manipulated by Baseball, they kept adding wildcard teams and so
this stuff ends up getting manipulated.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
But the wild card.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
Standings right now, if you look at it, the Astros
have a half game lead over the Red Sox for
the second wild card. But then you look at the
American League West standings and you're like, well, wait a minute, here,
I'm looking at that, and then the Mariners are a
half game up one game in the lost column. So
it's neck and neck between the Mariners, who are on
(32:27):
a burner ten games streak, and then the Astros, both
likely to make the playoffs. The Texas Rangers were looking
pretty good. And now they've lost three games in a row,
much to the dismay, much to the dismay of our
friend in Arlington, Ed in Arlington, let's call the phones
(32:49):
now to defend Dave robertson competence, we go to Andrew
in Bakersfield. Defend your guy. Come on, Andrew, defend your guy.
Defend him, Andro, defend him.
Speaker 5 (33:00):
Okay, so I missed most of the game.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
Very convenient, very convenient.
Speaker 5 (33:06):
But my only question is if you know that that
show Hay is on a special schedule because of.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
What he does.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
He take the short bus to the stadium.
Speaker 5 (33:17):
Okay, So if Dave Roberts would have left him in
and show Hey threw out his arm, wouldn't you just
be saying the exact opposite.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
No, I would be saying, that's fine. He threw sixty
eight pitches. What Why don't you just announce it? My
name is Andrew and Bakersfield. I'm a woos. Why don't
you just announce that?
Speaker 2 (33:32):
Andrew?
Speaker 1 (33:33):
Just announce it right now, announce it right now, just
say it. Say it.
Speaker 5 (33:37):
How many innings did he pitch last time?
Speaker 1 (33:39):
He said sixty. I don't care about inning sixty eight
pitches you're again, how many you're a sixty eight pitches
he threw last time? I don't care how many pitches.
Sixty eight pitches is nothing. And if he's that soft,
he shouldn't be playing Major League Baseball. How about that?
Get him out of there, Get him out there.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
If he's you're worried.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
About his delicate arm, he's already had Tommy John twice.
Who cares let him have it a third time. It's done.
We do way.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
All right?
Speaker 1 (34:13):
Yeah, I mean come on, I mean, I know we
have like terrible callers, but that guy sucks. Well.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
Yeah, anyway, we'll try to get some good calls.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox is the number
eight seven seven nine nine six six three sixty nine.
And we'll have the player of the day coming up
a little bit. Here is the who am I? Game?
This is where I pretend to be somebody else. Thus
we call it the who who Am I?
Speaker 2 (34:37):
Game? You see how that works there?
Speaker 1 (34:38):
So in defeat, show hey O Tony, because you know
I gotta protect his little arm there. Shoeyotani became the
fifth player to pitch five plus hitless innings and hit
a home run in the same game. Of course, his
team lost that game. I was the last pitcher to
do that. Again, who last pitcher prior to show? I
(35:00):
was the last one to pitch five or more innings
and hit a home run in the same game? Who
am I?
Speaker 2 (35:07):
That is the question.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
The answer. We'll get to it and we will do it.
Speaker 2 (35:12):
Next.

day and a historical one. Boy, I never thought this
(36:13):
record would be broken that quickly. The greatest Seattle Mariner
of all time, Ken Griffy Junior. He is no longer
the single season home run king for the Seattle Mariners.
As cal Raley stepped in in Kansas City. The ball
flying out of the yard, and that leads us into
(36:34):
the play of the night. Here's the first pitch swing
on hit well center field. It's going back Ispelle at
the warning truck at the wall. He has done home
run Calroy. He has tied Ken Griffy Junior for.
Speaker 9 (36:51):
The most in Seattle Mariners history, number fifty six for
Cal Rowley. Kind amazing, histol incredible season, and he is

Speaker 10 (37:55):
Hey?
Speaker 2 (37:57):
It all right real quick? What you got for me?
Speaker 8 (37:59):
One?
Speaker 10 (38:00):
Straight up Roberts, this is not a team for him.
You can just see it his face. He's not even
a good Polker player, you can say. In this panic
mode and the Dodgers going to extremes, we know we're
gonna lose. He doesn't know how to bring in a
runner from seconds. The Dodgers only live up one thing.
We got to hit a home run. They don't believe
theace hits like. We can sit home and we know
(38:21):
what we know what Dave roberts next move is. He's not.
Speaker 1 (38:27):
Well he I would argue he is because he's doing
what they want him to do. That's the problem. It's
a it's an it's an organizational philosophy.
Speaker 2 (38:34):
Careful.
Speaker 1 (38:34):
I don't know what that was, but it's an that
didn't sound good, but it's an organizational philosophy.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
You got to pay off the who am I?
Speaker 4 (38:40):
Game?
Speaker 1 (38:41):
And then we'll get back to the calls here. In defeat,
Shoey Otani became the fifth player to pitch five or
more hit listenings and hit a home run in the
same game. I was the last one to do it
before Otani. Is the Dodgers bullpen puked it up, rode
the vomit comment there against the Philadelphia Phillies. Rick Roaden

Francis the Talking Mule guest by King Roy what's your answer, Lorraine?
Robert Redford, Oh, rest in peace. Robert heard, No, I's
