It's our number one, our number one on the podcast.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
Happy Wednesday to you.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
It's the twenty fourth day of September and we talk
about a quarterback shuffle on the Ben Malors Show. We
were up all night recording this. Russell Wilson demoted Jackson
Dart is QB number one for the Giants? Your thoughts
on the latest developments there? And was that monstrosity against
Kansas City the last time? We are going to see
(00:30):
Russell Wilson as a regular QB one, a starting quarterback
in the NFL, not just a backup who occasionally starts,
but a real QB one. And what did you think
of Russell Wilson photo bombing a children's hospital visit after
he was demoted by the Giants.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
We'll talk about all that here.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
It is our number one, throwing darts against the word welcome.
In the beginning of another night of the Ben Malor Show.
(01:07):
We are in the air everywhere providing dialogue of.

Speaker 2 (01:18):

was actually played for the Harlem glow trot Fortrotters. He

just a game, it's a once in a generation event.

the the Doyers latest choke job.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Also, the Mariners are in the playoffs. Congratulations with them.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
The Detroit Tigers have done something almost unimaginable as they
have choked away the division lead. We'll talk about that
as we go through. But well, I want to start
with football because that's what pays the bills. So we'll
save some of that stuff for the b block. But
we begin this hour on the shores of the Mighty
Hudson River. And we have another quarterback change in the NFL,
(03:07):
and this one not because of injury, by systemic incompetence.
And if you have not heard by now, maybe not.
It was anticipated and it has now happened. We have
learned the Giants have demoted. They have benched mister unlimited
Russell Wilson, who is now limited to holding a clipboard
(03:28):
in favor of the flavor of the week, and that
would be first round quarterback rookie Jackson.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Dart.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
They've gone to the dart. They're now throwing darts. The Giants.
And that just comes after three games. Now remember all
that rhetoric, all that bull crap. Oh, he's gonna sit
out half the year, at least maybe the entire year.
The Giants are gonna do this the right way. Okay,
what a bet on that? No, and we'll get into it.
But Dart's first start will come at home on Sunday
(04:02):
against Eddie Garcia's Chargers. There, super fan Eddie Garcia's Chargers
and his wife picked super fans there. Also Jim Harbaugh
he coaches the team, and Justin Herbert there. So that'll
be the matchup the three and zero Chargers at MetLife
Stadium in Jersey. The Giants trying to wake up the
echoes as they will take on the Chargers with a
(04:24):
new quarterback. So let us discuss the question for the
esteem panel. Russell Wilson demoted Jackson. Dart is now QB
one for the Giants. Your thoughts on these developments regarding
the Giants. So I've got Mason, Jars, Kobe and human
Shields and we will combine all of these things together
(04:47):
and we're going to make some fried rice, which is
highly underrated fried rice, well pretty much anything fried is
usually not.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Good for you, but taste marvelous. All right, So a
this was the world I will use for the Giants.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Quarterback change telegraphed. Telegraphed is the word I will use.
Everybody with half a brain saw this one coming. Russell
Wilson had been running on fumes.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
What about the game against the Cowboys? Okay, that says
more about the Cowboys. They suck.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Okay, Russell Wilson, if you watched them, But this is
a year's long thing. Like how he ended up getting
that gig with the Giants is beyond me. He's been
telling everyone I suck, and yet they said, no, you don't.
You don't suck enough. You have to play for us
because we want to make sure you suck. And so
there you go. So Russell Wilson, who's been running on
(05:39):
low fuel, he's been slogging away for years with multiple teams,
no rhythm, no tempo to his game at all. And
Russell Wilson, who has less juice than a dollar store
high Sea pack You know, it's not allowed juice in
those little packets they have at the dollar store. He's
a football zombie this particular point. But he's been a zombie.
(06:01):
It's not a surprise. The real surprise is who they're
throwing Jackson Dart against. Not exactly a soft ope. I've
had friends of mine that have been involved in restaurants
and they always say, well, you gotta have the soft launch,
friends and family, friends and family. You have a date
you're gonna launch the restaurants. We have a night or
two where it's his friends and family. So everything gets
lined up there and that's it all. The restaurant staff
(06:25):
knows what they're doing. Everything's lined up, and no, not
exactly that. The Chargers off to a legit start. They
have a top ten defense in the NFL. So that's
not a cupcake with extra frosting. It is a trial
by fire. It is all right, Jackson Dart. Our franchise
is stunk for ten years, so we'll throw you in
the wood chipper right away. No easing in to the
(06:46):
deep end you go. No easing in right now.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
You're not going in the kiddie pool. You're going in
the deep end. Right now. There you go, So good
luck on that. No chance to iron out the case.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
No, he did play a little bit sporadically here A
couple or the last couple of weeks. So keep in mind,
if they had waited, if they being the team from
New Jersey that calls themselves the Giants, if they had
waited a week, Jackson Dart would have broken in in
a very soft launch against the gumbo guys the New
Orleans Saints. Saints go marching into embarrassment on a weekly basis. There,
(07:22):
that's the feel good component. That's the hey, we're gonna
go out there. You'll throw three touchdowns and throw for
three hundred yards and feel good about yourself. Instead, they
are saying, all right, go out there against Derwin James
and the Chargers. Knock yourself out. Welcome to the NFL. Kid,
here you go knock yourself well again. I'm fine with it.
I've always said you go with it. There's this false
(07:44):
belief if you sit on the bench, you're going to
be great. There's plenty of examples of people that sat
on the bench. It also sucked. Either you've got it
or you don't have it. We'll find out whether Jackson
Dart has it or not.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
I didn't think he was all that great in college.
I thought he was fine. I didn't think he would
be anything Spettacker in the NFL. But there's other guys
who were in the NFL that I didn't think would
be all that great that have turned out to be
pretty good. So it's a hit and miss situation. It's
an imperfect science and all that stuff, but it does
show you the Giants dysfunction. That's my other thought on this,
the dysfunction for the Giants because you've got Brian Dayball
and Joe Shane the coach, and the GM there who
(08:17):
are essentially drinking moonshine from Mason Jars at Dick's last resort,
because this is it. This is your last resort if
you're the coach and the GM there hoping that nobody
notices that you're getting sucker punched, and you're likely to
get sucker punched again here. And the reality is if
(08:38):
Jackson Dart is not prepared to hit the ground running here,
and if he goes out there and sucks at a
time you cannot suck and does a cannon ball and
a belly whopper against the Chargers and they have to
take him out of the game for some reason because
he's so bad, and they have to go to Russell
Wilson again, or Jameis Winston. Well, let's just say the
(09:00):
not so dynamic duo, the brains of the Giants operation.
They should start updating their LinkedIn page right now because
they've got some issues there. And John Maher, the owner
of the Giants, they for some reason keep this group together.
They should have gotten rid of him at the end
of last year. They kept him around, John Merra. But
if you look at it, it has been a revolving door.
(09:21):
They are the Cleveland Browns of New.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
York, that is, the New York Giants. One.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
The Jets are worse than the Cleveland Browns, but the
Giants are like the Cleveland Browns.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
So they keep changing coaches and all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Four coaches since they canned Tom Coughlan back in the day,
ten years.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Four coaches.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
So the patience isn't endless for the Giants, but the
clock is a ticking. Certainly, no more honeymoon. That's long gone.
That Fluke playoff situation where they weren't that good and
they made the playoffs and then took advantage of the
incompetence of Kirk Cousins to beat the Vikings in a
playoff game. But you look at it, now and there's
(09:58):
really no long term plan and it's just kind of
a reactionary move and you bench the veteran.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
And again, they should have never signed Russell Wilson.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
That's the thing. You didn't need Benjamin. You shouldn't as
signed him. If the overnight sports radio guy knows the
quarterback is washed up, why do you not know that
you're getting paid a lot more money than I am.
You should know that, you dummies. It's ridiculous anyway, So
they're gonna throw him out there and get all dramatic
(10:29):
and they're throwing him Jackson Dart to the wolves there.
I don't want to do that, but you'll buy at
least a couple of weeks. In theory, this buys you
at least a couple of weeks and maybe you'll get
some good headlines. The tabloids seem to like this in
New York. Reading some of the tabloids there, it's desperate
and typically it ends with everyone getting fired because you
(10:52):
started out owing three rather than just start. You would
have started owing three anyway. If you started Jackson Dart
at least then you can say, well, he played well
against the Cowboys and do all that bull crap. Instead,
now you're owing three and then Jackson Dart's gonna take
some time to get going here, so then you're looking
at maybe one in six or something along those lines.
(11:13):
Good luck, good luck on that. This says dead man
walking for Brian Dayball written all over it. Now we
move on, as for mister ulimited, mister unlimited, what was
the monstrosity performance against Kensaus City. The last time we
(11:34):
will see Russell Wilson as a regular starting quarterback in
the NFL was that it didn't know it at the time,
But is that it so? In terms of Russell Wilson
being given the keys to the kingdom and a team.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Being as dumb, the dumb, dumb dumb.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
As the Giants and giving him the keys, I would
say yes that that that's not going to Now. Is
it possible that Russell will start some games even this
year because Jackson Dart's either gonna get hurt or he's
gonna suck. That is obviously a possibility. But in terms
of his career arc, he is dun skies cooked. He
has been microwaved, reheated, and tossed in the garbage disposal
(12:17):
at this particular point, Wilson is a football hobo, is
what he is. And he's hitch hiking down the dusty
winnemuck a road. Shout out Johnny Cash. He's got that knapsack,
he's got that going for him. He's got thumb in
the air, and he's hoping that some desperate general manager
will pick him up at the trade deadline or again
(12:38):
in the offseason. But he was again washed in Denver.
You could argue at the end of the run in
Seattle he didn't look all that good. But the main
reason he left Seattle, as I understand it, was he
tried to usurp Pete Carroll.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
There was a power play.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
And Russ did not win that battle, which is crazy
because a couple of years later Pete Carroll was let
go anyway, so they're like, well, we're not gonna get
rid of peek carey, We're gonna pick the coach over
the quarterback.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
And then they got rid of the coach anyway. So
that's that's something different.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
But he was Washington, Denver, tumble dried in Pittsburgh, and
now left to rust out with the giants like that
car you know, that kind of disheveled house, that everyone
drives by and says, why is that car rusted out
in front of the house.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
That's like, that's terrible.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
It's embarrassing anyway, So there is no let's ride like
Russ likes to say. It's let's hide. It went from
let's ride to let's hide. That's the new message from
Russell Wilson. And he's gone. In Seattle. He was considered
Kobe beef Kobe, and now he is leftover meat loaf
(13:44):
in tupperware in the back of the refrigerator that has
not been eaten and is starting to turn colors. That's
what's going on. So Russ's only hope now is to
take advantage of the supply chain shortage of quarterbacks in
the league. And but again, I just can't imagine a
scenario where he's given the job.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Now, can he get the job because of injury?
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Sure, there's something like that could happen, But going into
a year like this year where the Giants said you're
a guy, eh no, that's not happening. You can sell
himself as a not so savvy backup quarterback. Now, last word,
I have to address this because it's a long standing
pet peeve of mine and it happened.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Yet again, I don't know if you were a witness
to this or not.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
So Russell Wilson was essentially fired, although he's still keeping
his gig, but he's demoted. Loss of rank for Russell Wilson.
So he created some buzz on the same day that
he was benched, and he ran off to a children's
hospital in New York and flooded social media with photos.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Of him with the kids.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
So the question, all right, what did you think of
Russell Wilson's photo bombing from a children's hospital the day
that he got demoted as the Giants quarterback? So this
really rubbed me the wrong way here. It's a nice
instagram stunt. We saw this in Seattle. Russ has been
doing this a long time or the same stunt, and
(15:12):
my position has been pretty strong on this. I've been
very consistent over the years. But in this case, we'll
just focus on this one case in particular. You're using
the sick kids as human shields against social media trolls.
Why do you care so much about social media trolls?
Speaker 1 (15:28):
What are you doing?
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Just stay away, you don't need to partake. Come on now,
it's rather pathetic. Bad job by you. And that's the
please don't yell, let me post. You can't yell at me. Look,
I'm a nice person, is what that is. And that's
the playbook. That is the playbook right there, and it's
performative charity is what it is. And my belief and
(15:52):
I was raised this week. You can play my parents.
They're dead guys. You can't blame anymore. But the true
charity should be anonymous. That that's the way I was
raised that you do it humbly. You should do nice things,
and you should help people out, but you should do
it humbly and do it without fanfare. And you shouldn't
need a camera crew and a lighting guy and a
sound guy. You don't blast it out on social media
(16:16):
like you're running a political campaign. You shouldn't be doing that.
And it's just I see that. I'm like, well, that's phony.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
You don't need to do that.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
And these are things you should hear about when you die.
Give me a great example. Kobe Bryant dead. When Kobe died,
we heard all these stories. I had heard some of
these things when he was still alive, but when he died,
we heard all these stories about Kobe. Would just randomly
show up to a children's hospital and didn't have a
camera crew. Kobe Bryant didn't have a sound guy, he
(16:44):
didn't have an audio guy. He didn't send out posts
on social media, and he just hung out with kids.
And that's the way you're supposed to do it. Not
Russ Russ, Russ ever done anything without a camera crew
to document everything. Everything is a hallmark card for Russell Wilson.
It's just all manufactured. The voice, the mannerisms, the mannerisms,
(17:07):
all of that. It's it's even the charity stuff there,
So there you go. Of course, it wouldn't be a
problem for the giants. He'd still be QB number one.
If his throws didn't have less zip than a warm
bud light, then he'd still be out there.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
But I digress.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Anyway, it is the Ben Mahlor Show. We will open
up the phone lines if you would like to be
part and say hello. The easiest time to begin the
phone is usually hot, but early on a little slow
usually start the show and then we warm up into it.

So if you want to be part.
Speaker 2 (17:36):

Just beginning the Red Eye flight. We have not reached
our cruising altitude yet, still trying to get there quickly.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Yeah, unbelievable. In the meantime, you can interact with the
live show.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
We started with a Jackson Dart Russell Wilson heavy Mallard
monologue in the Baseball conversation about to heat up here
on the phones at eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox.
That's eight seven seven nine nine six six three sixty nine.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
I Feaver.
Speaker 2 (19:46):

Lorena FSR Tech Queen.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Nay good mood.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
They're bouncing around and you can sailorder. FSR Tech queen
a coop at all Bronco fan, that's all Bronco fan.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Your comments can and we'll be used.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Against you in the court of sports radio, so please
act accordingly. Back to it all, Right, back to it
we go. Nick in Wisconsin says he woke up to
use the bathroom. Well, what did I miss? Never mind,
I'll catch up on the podcast at work. Thank god
for the Internet. Nick working the dreaded day shift apparently,
(20:27):
how there you, Nick Sell?
Speaker 1 (20:29):
You sold out? I wonder what it's like to be
a day walker. Oh man.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Worst times I've had. I've worked in radio a long time.
The worst times I've had is when I did a
morning show. I hated that could not I was not
a morning person. Hated morning radio. You'd rather be the
late night Yeah, I'm more creative and night I just
I'm more of a night person.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
I wish I was a day person.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
I'd have a much better four oh one k situation
and bigger house and all that stuff, But I like
the nighttime hours. Late night drug tester says, maybe the
giants can still find you for Russell Wilson, Besides holding
a clipboard, he could replace T shirt canny the T
shirt cannon, assuming he can make a throw into the stands,
he says. Femi, the number one Uber Eats driver in
(21:16):
the Minneapolis area, says Ben.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
I have a conspiracy theory.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Maybe the Giants are playing dart against the Chargers so
that he sucks and the fans will shut up about
Russell Wilson's company suck. That's that's that cuts deep, Femmy,
that cuts deep. JJ from Renton says that was an opening,
awesome opening to the show.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Mallar.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
I've seen Russell Wilson's downfall and phoniness since he singlely
costs the Seahawks that Super Bowl. F that bum and
good riddance, says JJ from Renton, Washington.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Here you go back at it again.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
And speaking of that, Greg says again again referring to
the show.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Yes, every EFI night, there's a show. It's a can't
believe it all.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Right now, I must address the blue demon in the room,
the blue demon in the room, those underachievers, the Dodgers,
as they did it yet again, someone named Haraldo Perdomo
hit I don't know. He had a two out, game
winning single in the ninth inning. The Diamondbacks came back,
(22:23):
Dodgers will a four run lead, So Arizona, they're in
the wildcard race.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
That's a big game. These are playoff games for the
d Backs.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
And so there's still one game behind the Mets for
the final wildcard spot.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
They're tied with the Reds. The Mets came back.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
I was watching that Mets Cubs game at Wrigley and
they came back from down a bunch of runs. I
think the Cubs had a five run lead, I think
at one point in that game. Anyway, Arizona, they did
it against Tanner Scott. They did it against Tanner Scott,
the big offseason pick up for the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
One in four and that is his record as he.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Blew it yet again, a big hit there for the Diamondbacks.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
And so the Dodgers are now just.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
A game and a half ahead of the Padres in
the Nation League West. And I've been texting a couple
of thoughts here on the Dodgers in their latest blown
league So I have been texting a group of people
I worked with in media the Dodger some of them
big Dodger fans, you know. But one of them, Roberto
the bus driver, who I text Roberto, and Roberto.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Is like, oh, it's gonna be fine. They'll move some
starters in the bullpen. I'm like, your delusion. Well, they
did it last year. Okay, they did last That was
last year. That's that doesn't happen very often. I just
don't see a path. This team sucks.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
And as far as Tanner Scott and his performance or
lack thereof performance for Tanner Scott, so yet another disastrous outing.
And if it wasn't just him, it was the Dodger bullpen,
all of them collectively.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
It's like a group suck.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
It's not an individual suck, it's the entire group is
just sucky, mic suck and all that stuff. And so
you say, fine, but you dig into it. And Tanner
Scott with his tent blown save and it is a
beam me up Scott. Used to be beat me up Scotty,
but it's a beam me up Scott situation. So congratulations
(24:21):
to Dodger closer Tanner Scott. His tenth blown save this season,
and we are told that has broken the all time
Dodger franchise record congratulations most blown saves in a single season.
The record had belonged to one of the nicest people
I've ever met in my life, Jeff Shaw. And you
know that's a longtime record because I was doing Dodger
(24:44):
postgame stuff when Jeff Shaw was pitching for the Dodgers
in nineteen ninety nine, he had nine blown saves, nine
of them, all right, nine blown saves as well, And
you don't have to add on to that. And anyway,
so Jeff Shaw had the record.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
No more.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Congratulations to Tanner Scott. You are the most sucky suck
relief pitcher in Dodger history. Way to go. Good job
by you. Another thought I have on this is I'm
unloading the war chest here. This is not surprising because
the mantra of Dave Roberts and the nerds, they don't
believe that confidence is part of athletic competition. They don't
(25:26):
factor that in, and all their gadgets and gizmos and
the thing of a jigs and the watchum College, the
algorithms that they use, they don't. They don't factor in
human emotion in athletic competition because it doesn't fit with
what they do. They think every at bad is the same.
They think every appearance is the same. They don't understand
how certain people don't respond to pressure situations. And then
(25:47):
the other thing in which the least stands out about
stands out about these current Dodgers, and this goes this
goes deep here. The Dodger philosophy, the franchise model of
the Dodgers is to do the bare minimum. That is it,
and that is why they have an underachieving baseball team
right now and they will very likely be out of
the playoffs be golfing by the time the NLCS comes around.
(26:09):
They should be able to win the wild card round,
but after that, good luck on that. So it's just
floating on the lazy river. Don't push the limits, do
the bare minimum. It's like they have a they treat
these guys, they all make tons of money, and they
treat them like they're working at the DMV or something.
It's like as a government job and just show up,
(26:30):
you know, punch the time clock and that's it and
good luck. The other problem the Dodgers have, and of
course they have all the money in the world, so
they can just make their problems go away. But Tanner
Scott signed a four year contract for seventy two dollars.
He's in year one and the guy's got ten blown
saves the all time franchise record in year number one.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
For the for the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
All right, let's go do Hugh who's on Hughes on
the and he would like to add on to this,
he'd like to touch up my work.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
Hello, Hugh, welcome, youn me baby, way to go, man,
he set it up.
Speaker 4 (27:07):
So well, let's talk. Let's talk about David Vasse for
a second.
Speaker 7 (27:11):
Can we do you mind?
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Well David, I say, for those who don't know, he's
does a local postgame Dodger talk show and hugs Mookie
Betts and the players.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Yes, yes, you know him. Well, I'm sure I do know.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
I do know.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
He used to be my producer back in the day.
Yes I do.
Speaker 7 (27:24):
Yeah, so you know he So he leaves off his
clubhouse show with well, the Dodgers. They they were blown
away or they were surprised, or you know, it was
the rug was taking out from under them that they
lost this game. And I'm like, what are you talking about?
It was predictable, that's going to happen.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Yeah, you're right right, it would have been, Hewitt would
have been surprising if Tanner Scott hadn't blown the game.
Speaker 7 (27:53):
Right, Yes, yes, yes, but it was like my heartbeat
didn't even go up. You know they lost the game?
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Yeah, yeah, it is, it is.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Well, listen, he's you know, he's doing propaganda over there,
and I get it he has.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
That's kind of the gig. You gotta do propaganda. But
you can't. You cannot be baffled when Tanner Scott.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
If someone what's the old line, Hugh, if somebody tells
you what they are, believe them.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
He has shown you what he is.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
He sucks and you I don't care if he was
good for the Marlins or the Padres, I don't care
about that. The guy blows as a Dodger and this year,
what more does he need to show you? Seriously, why
is anyone dumbfounded that Tanner Scott would blow a game?
Speaker 7 (28:33):
Well, we'll be done, we won't be don't found in
what he's going to be in tomorrow again?
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Oh of course, because Dave Roberts said, Wow, listen, law
of averages.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
He'll be aware of his fault. Just you gotta keep going.
You gotta trust your guys. You gotta trust your guys.
Speaker 7 (28:46):
It's it's this's something going on that we don't understand.
I will never know, not even about to say no
one knows, like we just don't know what's going on.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Well you you know, you know, you know what's going on.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
They believe they are run by these rigid, statistically based
people that do not believe in confidence. They they don't
believe that anything is related that poor performance. Like normally
it's like in the NFL it used to and this
is changed in the NFL too because of analytics. But
(29:18):
if you fumbled all the time, you would lose your job.
Like the New England Patriots had Ramandre Stevenson, who's who's
in years past, he would have been released because he
keeps filming. They're they're keeping him on the roster because
they owe him some money. In baseball, if you continually
blow saves, you are typically designated for assignment or you'll
they'll say you're hurt, they'll put you on they'll bury
(29:39):
you on the disabled list what he used to be called.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
But times have changed now they're like, oh no, no,
what we need him. We're gonna figure out.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
We're gonna keep sending him out there to lose games.
Tanner Scott the all time biggest suck bag Dodger closer,
and we're gonna send this guy out there to ride
the vomit comment and.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
No, no, no, it's gonna be different in this time. No,
it's not. It's not. It's not, it's not.
Speaker 7 (30:03):
It's a master point about the you know, the confidence. Absolutely,
that's the.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
Master Thank you very much. I appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
Welcome, all right, Can I go now? I gotta go?
All right, thank you, go away. There's a hue on
the five that's you. Do you think I satisfied? He
wanted me to explode, and I believe I satisfied.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
He is, Yes, he seems more satisfied than you do.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Well, I'm not because I know I gotta do the
show every night. So it's like, why waste all my energy?
Speaker 1 (30:35):
You still have two whole more days besides well.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
Yeah, and then the playoffs, you know, that's always you know,
one of my most popular monologues. We set records every
year for downloads. When the Dodgers losing the playoffs, people
very upset. They won the World Series last year because
we did not say a download record. Because nobody wants
to be happy.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
Can we go to the playoffs this year and eat Dodger?
Speaker 5 (30:54):
No?
Speaker 2 (30:55):
We we work for a radio station in Tokyo. We
could go, but not. The Dodgers don't have any room
for us, even though we're on all over the country now,
the PR staff over there, they have no room, no
room at.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
All for us. God for I guess we don't suck
up with the Dodgers enough. We could suck. Maybe we
need to, I.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
Guess, so, I guess we need to do that over there.
That's a problem anyway, eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox.
That's eight seven seven nine nine six sixty three sixty
nine if you'd like to be part of the live
program and the Texas Brain Rights. Since is at least
the Dodgers have made the playoffs, the astros playoff chances
(31:33):
are on live support and the plug is about to
be pulled, so you can at least enjoy that.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
Yes, that is on my list there on my big board.
Uh to get to at some.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
Point, tremendous, tremendous debacle for the cheating Astros. They need
to go down to Low's and Home Depot get some
of those trash cans.
Speaker 5 (31:50):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
The very impressive the Asstros are four games behind Seattle
in the American League West.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
They are a game behind the.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
Choking Tigers for the third and final American League wild
card spot. And so the Astros they stink. They're bad
and it doesn't matter who they're playing. That's pretty much it.
That's the hot analysis. And you hate to see it,
you know, you hate to see that happen. It's such
(32:20):
a fine operation there in Houston.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
It's hard to believe that they would have fallen on
hard times. It's rather rather shocking. My god, are you crying?
They're not crying. They're not crying baseball crime.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
But we celebrate the good. And why don't we get
to that play of the day.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
Do we have two or just one? What do we have?
We have two? Are we have too? So let's start
out with.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
The Bronx Bombers the New York Yankees. Now these are
the tire IRAQ plays, not just one. Would double your pleasure,
double your fun?
Speaker 4 (32:51):
Number to you?
Speaker 1 (32:52):
I don't know. This is what we start with. Number one.
So this is number one. This is the New York Yankees.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
If you thought the Yankees weren't going to make the playoffs,
you are a loser.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
Take a list. Here's the pitcher Wilson breaking ball.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
Let a look, Brett's in a film, coming on, coming
on at Johnson Front.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
They comes SuDS about third sonne at time homes, Hey,
come on your home. What the big Gray for the
New York Yankees says, they clitch a playoff spot. They're
burbing cameo. What that first thing?
Speaker 2 (33:21):
All right, that's the old Mariner broadcaster Netter wing the Yankees.
So the Yankees are in the playoffs for the eighth
time in nine seasons, and the ale is still up
in the air as they're battling it out with Toronto
and whatnot. They're in the division. So the Yankees are
in the playoffs, and hey, the Seattle Mariner said, what
about us? What about us?
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Marins?
Speaker 3 (33:42):
One strike away from Dan Sena in October, Mooney ready dance,
looks they get the sign. Monio's the o two on
the way to Carol's Here she comes swagging a miss
strike Gray. The Mariners will play in October cal Rowley
with the underhead toss to nailor.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
Mariners are going.
Speaker 3 (34:01):
To the postseason and the fans are going crazy. Here
a team mobile park. The Mariners will play games in October.
They make it to the postseason with a cup from
behind four to three win over the Rockies. Hear a
team mobile park.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
All right, well you did beat the Rockies.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
But Rick Riz there the iconic voice of the Mariners
as Josh Naleier heard a two odd bases clearing double
in the eighth and the Mariners win it.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
We talk about going to close the year and stuff.
They win for the.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
Fifteenth time in sixteen games to secure their just their
second postseason appearance in the last generation since twenty oh one.
They can wrap up the American League West title as
soon as later on on Wednesdays. So congratulations. There as
a Seattle into the plus and the Yankees are as well.
