Speaker 1 (00:00):
Boom shaka lacas, the great Brian Wheeler said back in
the day. So here in hour three of the Ben
Malor podcast, we were up all night the Ben Malor Show.
So who specifically gets the blame cup of rain for
manager Dan Wilson's Mariners as Seattle up two to zho
winning both games in Toronto, have now lost the first
(00:21):
two games in Seattle. Also, how does Toronto's Max Schurzer
shutting down the Mariner's rank on your unexpected big board.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
We'll talk about that.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Schurezer, who hadn't really pitched in a month, was lights out?
And should the Mariners be preparing for can kuhn?
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Do they?
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Blue Jays have a stranglehold on the Alcs even though
technically it's tied up at two wins apiece.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
People love to talk about momentum. You know who you are.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
We'll talk about that and more so check that out. Also,
don't forget fifth hour podcast later today. Here it is
our number three. Well, it's not sleepless in Seattle. It
is winless in Seattle, at least in terms of the Alcs.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Welcome in.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
That's right, you have stumbled upon the one and only
the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mahler Show.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
We are in the air everywhere.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Amigos, as we know this ain't your mom's meat loaf.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Coast coast, border to border.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
And beyond on the vast and muscularly powerful microphones of
fsre emmating live from the spot the sweet spot of
the audio darkness from the world famous Fox Sports Radio studios,
as approved by Matt de Bears Fan. Matt de Bears
(01:51):
Fan approves that message. This portion of the Ben Mahler
Show made possible in part by our friends over at
tire Rack. For over forty years, Tirera 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 convenient installation options like mobile tire installation.
(02:15):
I know Eric in Kansas, he loves loves that mobile
tire installation. And so there's Buttermilk Chavo who sends us
lame jokes, and so many others who are part of
that big lame jokes sing. What's you be coming up
late this hour? Yeah, tire rack dot com the way
tire buying should be. So we're bouncing around here on
(02:36):
the overnight and this hour our lead story from Seattle,
and that was the stage Game four, Game number four
of the Alms. Vladimir Guerrero Junior, Vladie, who couldn't hit
the first two games in Toronto and somewhere.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Flying from his home.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
City there in Toronto, across North America to Seattle, he
found his way hit. He led the Canadian contingent into
the Emerald City for another matchup against the big dumper,
Cal Roley Seattle.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Going into the game leading two to one.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Robbie the Marina fan very optimistic, even Nostre Denis thought
this was the year.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
I wonder how they're feeling now? Did you watch no
Max Schurzer?
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Yep, that guy Max Schurzer turned back time, turned.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
The clock back.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
A vintage performance on the bump for Max Schurzer and
Andres Jimenez who's been pretty mediocre as a blue Jay,
but not right now. He homer drove in four runs
and Allah.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
The bludgeoned the Mariners eight to two.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
And the game played last night and Thursday night there
So the American League Championship Series, which looked like it
was over, is now tied up two wins a piece.
In Vladimir Junior did hit his fifth homer this postseason.
Max Schurzer, forty one years young, allowed two runs in
five and two thirds innings for the Blue Jays. But
(04:10):
the better story, that's right, it's in the losing locker room,
and we talk about Seattle, the pitching staff faltering yet again,
they did the thing you can't do it the time,
you can't do it, horrific, and the offense unable to
keep pace with the Toronto Blue Jays whose bats have
been awoken. And oh what a performance it was. And
(04:33):
that's a good jumping off point. So let us discuss
the question who specifically is responsible, who gets the blame
cup of rain from manager Dan Wilson's Mariners as they
have hit the schneide hit the schneid here, So my observations,
I've got Keynote speaker, bio Engineering Company and Taylor Swift
(04:59):
and we'll come bye and all of these things together,
and we're gonna make a safe space for Robbie the
Mariner fan and JJ and Ritten and crying Craig.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
So number.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Let's not overcomplicate this. It's just overnight talk radio. This
one was not a tough luck loss for the Seattle Mariners.
It was not This was a face plant. This was
a belly whopper. The Mariners had the ace in the hole.
Now the a's turned out to be a joker. You've
got Louis Castillo on the mound at home, must have
(05:36):
it game, not a must.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Gotta have it. You gotta have the game. And what
do you do? Well? He turned into a keynote speaker.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
But unfortunately for the Seattle Mariners, he was not only
the keynote speaker. Luis Castillo is the keynote speaker at
the suck Berg address, because boyd did he suck. And
it's like he was working at an Italian bistro serving
up giant meatballs to the Toronto Blue Jays. Now, this
guy had been absolute nails for a month. I think
(06:07):
I read something like his era was under two. In
his previous five starts, I had been really, really good.
And then in a game you gotta get, you go
up three to one, the Blue Jays are back in
the hole, a giant hole. There, your ace goes out,
goes two and two thirds innings, forty eight pitches, forty
eight pitches, four hits, three earned.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Runs, nada, la la.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Hey, goodbye, took him off the mountain. That as a reminder,
as the great Dick Stockton taught me as a young broadcaster.
He's retired now, but Dick Stockton said, Ben, you know,
stat's tell you what has happened. They don't tell you
what's going to happen. Here's a perfect example. You could
feel the air leave the ballpark. It's like someone climbed
(06:57):
up and popped the space needle balloon, like what are
you doing? And from that moment on it was a
commercial for Southwest Airlines. I want to get away, but
I will have a rant, I.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Believe, I don't think I'll do it today.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Something about Southwest and their commercials got me a little upset,
so I might rant about that today.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
But anyway, it wasn't just Castillo. Now, he was bad, right,
he was bad. Gave up three earned runs, but three
earned runs is a manageable amount.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
It's not ideal for your starting pitcher to go two
and two two and two thirds innings. However, the rest
of the pitching staff, oh no, no, no no.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
The call to the bullpen should have come in with
roll aids when they came out of the bullpen.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
There the bullpen supposedly some of you told me the
backbone of this Mariner team has been coughing up runs
the last couple of games like they're giving out Halloween candy.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Just take whatever you want.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Gabe Spier yet again, bases loaded, two out, walks in
a run. Cardinal Sin walks in a run in a
playoff game. That is the baseball version of tripping over
your own shoelaces. Walks in a run. Someone named Matt Brash,
not very brash. A wild pitch by this Jabbroni another run,
(08:16):
and so at this point it's like they were doing
their best Benny Hill routine and absolute heartburn.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Absolute heartburn. Now in tennis they.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Call those unforced errors walks, misplays defensively poor command of
the strikes and not throwing strikes.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
This loss was a body blow, body blow, body blow.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
After game three, you figure out Game three, you flushed it,
you got blown out. Okay, everyone's due for a stinker.
But you bounce back in game four. You're in good shape,
and Toronto methodically, Bill Leech, it was like they.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Were playing the Yankees again.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
As Seattle's pitching staff came apart at the seams, completely
unre and the Mariner bullpen again statistically pretty good during
the season allowed if my math is correct the last
two games.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
I think I'm right on this. I use Mallard math.
You can fact check me.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
I believe they have allowed twenty one runs in the
last two games. How is that even possible?
Speaker 2 (09:18):
I believe that's correct. All right, Page two.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Now, on the Canadian side of things, we had a
great time at the Malar Meet and greet in Vancouver
a couple a couple months ago. We'd love to go
back to can I had a great time there. I
want to go to Toronto. I've ever been to Toronto.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
I'd love to get there at some point.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
But anyway, question, how does Toronto's Max Scherzer shutting down.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
The Mariner's rank on your unexpected big board? Not a list?
Terry in England. That is not a list. It is
an unexpected big board, which is much different than a list.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
So I'm gonna put this for the twenty twenty five
postseason right at the very top, all right, right at
the very top.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Here's why Max Schurzer has been cooked.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
You got a forty one year old guy, Max Scherzer,
who hasn't thrown a single competitive pitch in like a
month or something like that.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Walking into that game looking like Doc Brown.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Just yanked him out of a Dolorean, if you know
what I mean. The Mariners were expected to feast. They
actually had bibs on during batting practice because they were
licking their chops at what they were gonna do to
Max Scherzer and the Nerds spreadsheets, because you know, the
nerds run baseball.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
If you look at the Nerd spreadsheets.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Going into game for the American League Championship Series, they said, Wow,
the Mariners are gonna win this game.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Toronto's got no chance. The analytics gave him a snowballs
chance in hell of getting it done. But what happened.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Max Scherzer pants the algorithm. He absolutely pants the algorithm.
The nerds crying in their computer models. Because baseball, shockingly
is still played on grass. It is played on grass
by players that smoke grass, not spreadsheets. And so this
was a horror movie for the Seattle mayor not for
(11:08):
the Blue Jays. It was great, but we're talking about
the situation from the mannors. This was Max suers are
pitching that way was like the classic horror movie. There's
a genetically manipulated and very hungry dinosaur that escapes from
the bioengineering company. You know these movies like The Animal Escapes,
the Beast Escapes, and Rex Havoc. In this case, Max
(11:29):
sus are he wrecked Havoc. He chewed through the Mariner lineup.
Seattle came in with this arrogance that they were going
to bounce back, and the bats were all cocked in
the air everywhere, ready to party. And Max Scherzer turned
this into a silent film, a Charlie Chaplin silent film,
early Hollywood, weak content, just bad baseball, bad offense. He
(11:53):
who denied out of a bases loaded jam in the
fifth like he was wearing that old English for the
Detroit Tigers back.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
In the day.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
And this was a book, the book the art of pitching.
It was the art of pitching. The thing the spreadsheets
cannot account for gile, guts and a little bit of
evil genius all mixed together in a stew And I'm
not the biggest Max Schurzer fan. I'll explain why in
(12:25):
a minute. But Max Scherzer was Dragon balls.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Max. Okay, do you understand again? The guy hadn't pitched
in like a month.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
He shows up and looks like he's being powered by
radioactive red. Bully's screaming like a lunatic at his manager.
The Marinage just stood there like tourists visiting Jurassic Park.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
And they're like, Oh, look at that nice dinosaur.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Isn't that pretty? And then wham boom, shaka laka gone.
And this is why they play their games. This is
what they play the games. I learned this from al
Pacino back in the day. On any given Thursday, a
washed up has been pitcher, an old man can turn
back the clock, light up the scoreboard and make the
(13:12):
other teams playoff hopes look like a wet napkin, at
least for that night. The Mariners again, they thought they
were gonna win this game, and instead they got delivered
a Grandfather Clock vintage performance by Max Scherzer.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
The Jase for the moment have their mojo back, playing
with confidence.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Now to the Komodo Dragon in the room. As many
of you know, we do this show on a nightly basis.
We've done this show for many, many years. I have
not forgiven Max Scherzer for his crime against baseball That
was the twenty twenty one National League Championship Series Game
six Dodgers in the Atlanta Braves. Dodgers trying to defend
their reigning World Series championship, hardest World Series ever won
(13:52):
during the pandemic global pandemic, they won.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
The World Series.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Dodgers playing the Atlanta Braves needed to win that game
to force a game seven. Max Scherzer, who was only
a Dog for a brief time, was brought in to
pitch that game and Max Scherzer said, I cannot pitch,
is Max?
Speaker 2 (14:05):
What's wrong? I've got fatigue.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Now, the theory has always been that Max Scherzer didn't
want to pitch that game because he wanted to save himself.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
He wasn't one hundred percent and he didn't want to.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Risk himself because he was going to become a free
agent after that, and the Dodgers would lose that game,
and Schurezer got into it with the Dodger people. They
went back and forth, but it was just so unbecoming
and since then that's become the norm, a wussification of pitchers,
you know, not not going for it.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
But this was a performance were Surezer looked wonderful. And
so the Blue Jays are in good shape now the
final point.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Based on the last two games, everyone and their mother
seems to believe now that Toronto has has this series kidnapped, shackled, assaulted,
and locked in a makeshift cell somewhere in British Columbia.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
And that they're keeping it there.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
So the question would the Mariners be preparing for cantcun
the series?
Speaker 2 (15:04):
At this point we're four games in. Do the Blue Jays?
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Do the Blue Jays have a stranglehold on the twenty
twenty five alcs. So my response is, Paulice right, do
not be a prisoner of the moment. I will be
Benny Brightside. I am now going to give my friends
in Seattle a pep talk. I don't have to give
you a pep talk, but I'm gonna give you a
pep talk. This series should be on Benny versus the Penny.
(15:30):
Forget about Fox and Turner and all. I know those
things on Fox, but this should be on Benny versus
the Penny. Here's why it's a coin flip. It's two
to two. It's a best of three. Now and if
I'm Seattle, I like the spot I'm in. Yeah, Dave Robinson,
I liked him in that spot. I like Seattle in
this spot.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
And here's why.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
They have an advantage that the Blue Jays do not have.
And that's our fa What does that mean? That is
road field advantage? Road field advantage. These guys don't blink
when they see an airport gate. This isn't some twelve
hour greyhound bus ride with gas station nachos.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
That they're eating.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
The Mariners love those chartered flights, the catered meals, the
per diem, the cushy buses that they travel on, the
police escorts. They travel like Taylor Swift on tour. Major
League Baseball modern major League baseball has all the creature comforts.
It's very upsetting to people in baseball. There's really no
home field advantage. Every broadcast during the playoffs, it's broadcasting
(16:37):
one on one. Oh my god. The crowd is so
into it. It's a madhouse here. Every broadcast, even when
it's not true, say a sampling, they want to give
you the illusion that there's some kind of big advantage
because the crowd's into.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
The game and it's not.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
The players are insulated from all that, and there's really
no home field advantage other than the dimensions of the ball.
Part the way that plays now. Meanwhile, psa time, a
friendly reminder from your overnight blowhard that yet again we
can kill the word momentum.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
We can kill the word momentum.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
It does not exist. Because again Seattle had all the momentum.
They lost it somewhere over Fargo. We determined they put
it in the overhead bin. There was some turbulence over Fargo,
North Dakota, and it fell out and fell down somewhere.
It's on a farm outside Fargo. And now the Blue
Jays got all the momentum. However they don't because it
(17:35):
doesn't exist. One day in baseball you're King Kong. The
next day you're a Chihuahua and you're afraid of the
rain and it's raining. Baseball is just different. It's just
a different animal sport of baseball. And momentum again, can't
measure it, you can't touch it, you can't feel it.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
It doesn't exist.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
If momentum existed, then half of these postseason collapses would
not be possible because no one would ever give up momentum.
Momentum would be the most valuable thing in the world.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
You would never give it up. Wy would you give
it up? You can't give it up.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
It's the most powerful, all knowing, almighty all momentum. It's omnipresent.
You would never give it up, but they do all right.

Then we'll take some calls and it's a fun hour
ahead and right now we as we started this hour
with Hot Mariner Blue Jay talk on the pulse of
the sporting world. But here is the Malor Riddle of
the Day, inspired by legends like Alf the Alien, Opinter
and Ferg Dog.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Alvin Kamara. It's a running back, He's our running back.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Alvin Kamara says he will go blank somewhere if he's
traded by the Saints.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Again.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
Alvin Kamara says he will go blank somewhere if he's
traded by the Saints. That is the malor riddle of
the day. And listen, does anyone know the answer to
the riddle of the day. We go to the hoy
POLOI the great Unwashed, and what do we have here?
Tot's see page Dan Paige Dan late night drug tester
(21:33):
says he.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Will go become a cake decorator. Is the answer?
Speaker 1 (21:40):
The running back says he will make a run for
the border if he gets traded. Looks like he's going
to the CFL.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Alf the alien o piner says.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
He'll go immediately call moving man Matt and King Louis
and get the hell out of Dodge.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Yeah, of course.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
A cry harder big baby writes in says he will
go assault another man outside a nightclub if he has traded. Well,
that was actually in a casino in Las Vegas, and
there are more cameras.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Here's a fun fact.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
There are more cameras in the casinos in Vegas than
at the Pentagon. So if you're gonna beat somebody up,
you don't want to be at a casino in Vegas.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Okay, do you understand? Let's see what do we have here?
What else? Page down? Let's see here?
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Can't read that, mister Irrigation checks in, though Donkey Sausage
says he will go wear a disco outfit. Boy, that's interesting.
Alvin Kamara will go pound sand with a rubber rubber
mallet from Jay Dot. Well, that's gonna suck. Losing Jay
Dott as a live listener's going to the dreaded day
Shift next week. We're gonna lose Jay Dot as a
live listener. He'd be a dead listener. I know, well
(22:47):
he won't be dead, but you know he'll be on
the podcast, just Josh as. Alvin Kamara said he would
go skydiving with Johnny Utah if he gets traded by
the Saints. He said, kicking and screaming is the answer.
Jt the Wingman says he'll go sleep with the fishes
if he has to. Ozzie was got this right, bad
(23:08):
job by him obviously cheating Ozzie was.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
Let mean, come on, dude, you're in Australia. You shouldn't
cheat like that.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Let's see page down. Chris and Kent Washington. I don't
know what that is.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
I I'm not gonna say what else do we have?
See page down.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Trucker Joe says will go beat up another person outside
an elevator suck his thumb in the closet from Doug
in South Korea?
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Who else do we have? Paige down? Page down? All right,
that's do you have an answer? Laray? Uh? Yeah, I
think he's gonna go jump off a cliff somewhere, all right,
jump off of Clivets. Is he gonna jump off of clifts?
Speaker 3 (23:44):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (23:44):
That is incorrect, incorrect, the correct answer. Alvin Kamara says,
if he is traded by the Saints, he will go
drink a Pinut Colada.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
So he likes that idea. Yeah, yeah, yes, there you
go on when I'm on vacation. Yeah, you don't have
them at home? No, too much work to put it together.
I got you, I got you, I understand.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
All right.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Let's go back to the calls, and we have lame
jokes coming up a little bit later in the hour.
And let's see. My board is being reset as I
wait for that. Let's see who do we have you? Okay,
here we go. Let's go to any Meani miney. Let's
go to Andrea.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
Andrea is in Berkeley. She's the astrology insider. I've not
heard from her in a little bit.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Let's get the latest on the cosmic news and well
to Andrea. Hello Andrea, Hi Dan, how are you?
Speaker 1 (24:40):
If I was any better, I'd be a brewer, but
not a Milwaukee Brewer because they are down three games
to none to the Dodgers in the NLCS.
Speaker 6 (24:49):
Yeah, I really enjoy watching the Dodgers starting pictures. I
mean it's like old school, you know, going so many
innings and you know, like Siever Mattlack, who's back in
the day, and it's so funny, the whole Blake Snell.
I'm risking my life, bro. I heard that in the
background when I was looking at his heart. But I
want to talk about fellow Virgo Tyler Glass. Now he's
(25:13):
August twenty third, nineteen ninety seven, and he did really well.
I mean the past several starts he's done really well.
And I noticed this aspect that happens once every two years. Mars.
You know, Mars is important athlete, planet energy, assertion, aggression.
Mars's conjunct his Pluto, which is power. So this has
(25:35):
been a really powerful window of time for him. So
I was really glad to see him kind of carry
on the tradition of three starting pictures winning in a row.
So that was really nice to see. So I'm just,
you know, really excited to watch su're staying in as
long as they have. And then when I was just
(25:55):
combing through some information, this is kind of an interesting thing.
Not one of my favorite players, but Bryce Harper turned
thirty three today and he wears the number thirty three.
So I thought, oh, there was a little interesting and.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
We're going to talk about this next hour.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
But Bryce Harper called out by the Phillies GM as
not being elite anymore.
Speaker 6 (26:17):
Yes, yeah, so it's interesting. His October sixteenth, nineteen ninety three,
So he turned thirty three and he wears the number
thirty three, and he got called out.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Okay, yeah, on his thirty third birthday, you got called
happy birthday, Bryce, You're not that great anymore, Happy birthday.
Speaker 6 (26:36):
Thank you. I couldn't have said it better myself.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Yes, exactly. All right, Well, listen, it's great to hear
from you as always. If you're doing well, everything's okay
with you, Yes, you're all right.
Speaker 6 (26:45):
I had some back paying flare up, so i'll spare
you the details.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
I know one of your.
Speaker 6 (26:51):
Callers gave you like a whole laundry list of what
was ailing them.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Yeah, well it's it's a blessing because, as my grand
father said, getting old is not for whims, right, you
gotta be tough on all that stuff. Stuff occasionally start turting,
but just rub some this. I'm some kind of gobbly
goo or.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
Something on there. You'll feel better and you'll be good
to go. Okay, remember that's right, that's right.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
I know that's right. That's a great I do. I
don't do it every day. Once a week or so,
I take a nice set back. Feels great. Yeah, good
to relax, all right, absolutely, thank you, Ed and Virgo
and service Virgo in service.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
You want to say hello to our friend Andrew. Let's
go to Mike Wanachi Man. Who's next up?
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Hello, mister Onanachi Man for hot Mariner talk Hot, yeah talk.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
Well, you know, I talked to you not long ago,
and I wasn't really overly optimistic. And now you know
why I think I've gone through this stuff my whole life.
I'm from Seattle Morning, raised there until I moved out
of the sewer four years ago. And uh, I think
(28:01):
the Mariners are kind of like the guy who thinks
he's really tough and really cool and finally gets invited
to be a prospect for the Hell's Angels and then
does something really stupid and goes to a party with
the angels and falls asleep, and he wakes up, and
there's pictures of him with them doing all kinds of
(28:22):
stuff around him and painting on his face and peeing
on him and stuff. I think that's where the Mariners
are right now. I don't know what they can do.
I think Dan Wilson, I think I saw that. I
think he's got to shave that mustache. It's the worst
mustache since Groucho Marx and Animal Crackers or Rashida to leave.
You know, it's just.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
It's not not a good look. The mustard. He looks
a lot older than he is.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
That doesn't he look a lot older than he is
because of the must I think it's the mustache.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
I know.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
It just makes it look like a walrus. He looks
like he looks like he looks like you know, what
was the old the guy that used to do that.
I can't even think it was name.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
Oh, I know, I know he did the insurance commercials.
Yeah he's dead, but I know who you're talking about. Yeah,
burly mustache Yeah, there was a golfer on the PGA
tour years ago that had a big mustache like that too.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
But you know one thing per years when I was
in Seattle, I was also a bartender, kind of a
cool one of the original Irish pubs in Seattle, and
I used to run in, get to run into celebrities
and stuff because I was a closing weekend bartender and
I used to have some cool celebrities. The only one
(29:36):
that wasn't cool was I don't know if you remember
who she was, but it was Pat Finlee, that woman
that was on the New Heart Show.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
She was a real crank but did not did not
expect on the the.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
Ed O'Neill was cool. Chris Chris Nova Silic was really cool.
Kim Baale was cool.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Uh you're you lived right.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
Down the street from our pub and he was very cool.
Bill Lamber used to come in and throw darts when
the women's w NBA team, the only good thing you
could ever say about w NBA. He used to come
in to throw dark sleep at night because we had
a steel tip board. But my best celebrity encounter of
all time was when I was a kid going to
(30:25):
parochial school. We had a guy in our in our
school who was the nephew of Ben Davidson. And at
that time, University of Washington used to play a alumni game,
and Ben Davidson went to the University Washington and they
used to play a spring alumni game and he'd come
for the game. And this kid lived right across the
(30:46):
street from our school, and he was coming for the game,
and he came rolling up in his big four x
four pickup with his Doberman pinchers in the back of
the pickup, and the nuns let him come over to
sign autographs, and we came out to the school yard
(31:07):
to get autographs mine and I was coming from the
Scholastic Book Club thing and the only thing I had
for him to sign was The Rise and Fall of
Adolf Hitler by William Shire, and I handed it to
him and he looked at it, and you can kind
of imagine he gave me this look like you got
to be a kidd, and he goes, really, and I said,
(31:28):
it's the only thing I got and he goes, all right, well,
learn something from mister kid, and he signed it to
Mike from Ben Davidson. So I got a I got
a hit. Her book signed by the great Ben Davidson.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Did not expect that, Mike. I gotta go, but thank you, Mike.
Look at that work, this whole life story. Like every celebrity,
Mike the old bartender ran into I was waiting for
him to say I had the Pope in there one
day and he was having some drinks and we were talking,
and then you know, let's go to Jed who play
Who's also got some amazing stories, but not about celebrities
(32:03):
like that. Hello Jed who fled in Florida.
Speaker 7 (32:07):
Ben, I'm usually under the daisy influence of mister christ anthetamine.
It's hard to get sleep. Is there anything you can
put that guy back on the airt me over there?
That I was mid? I was mid, like people don't understand.
Like right now people are looking at me like what
did you do?
Speaker 3 (32:26):
What you what?
Speaker 7 (32:27):
Just close the sack up for I'm like, boy's time
to sleep. I don't know if you heard that guy
on the radio, and it is time to hibernate like bears.
Bears right now have been their entire like cycle has
been thrown off entirely. That got through my my car Loude.
I don't know how you do that? Right there, I
don't know how.
Speaker 6 (32:41):
You do it.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
You want to go back on Hold, I can put you
on hole, we can get somebody else on. Maybe it'll
wake you up a little bit and then you can
go back to you. How about that.
Speaker 3 (32:51):
Something?
Speaker 7 (32:51):
Hold, that's where I remember a brain park. Whenever two
people nailevators there, you could fire and everybody knows who
did it.
Speaker 3 (32:57):
But if there's three people nailvators, there's an ability.
Speaker 7 (32:59):
Dude, I don't know what that has to do without
en Now.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
Well, no that's not true, Jet, I'll put you gen't know,
but it's not necessarily true because it depends if it's
if it's a silent assassin, you're good.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
But if it's.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
A loud one, right, if you're letting it rip, and
if you're you can tell by the sound, So you
you don't know. I mean, the thing about the flatulence
is you don't know whether it's going to be a
loud one or it's going to be a quiet one.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
And so it's you're always risking it.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
Even if there's three people, and it could be four
or five people in there, and.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
It's it's one of those situations you just you do
not know. You could have the quiet ones in the
world and then that one time. Yeah exactly. I mean,
and you know, you don't know.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
And that's the thing about it too, is you don't
know what it's going to be a clean one or
sometimes you don't squeaker, yeah exactly, the uh you know
it could be uh, you know, rumbley tumbly one where
you had you know, pet the wrong food and anyway,
we got big bangs lame jokes of the week for

Boom shaka lacas, the great Brian Wheeler said back in
the day. So here in hour three of the Ben
Malor podcast, we were up all night the Ben Malor Show.
So who specifically gets the blame cup of rain for
manager Dan Wilson's Mariners as Seattle up two to zho
winning both games in Toronto, have now lost the first
(00:21):
two games in Seattle. Also, how does Toronto's Max Schurzer
shutting down the Mariner's rank on your unexpected big board.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
We'll talk about that.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Schurezer, who hadn't really pitched in a month, was lights out?
And should the Mariners be preparing for can kuhn?
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Do they?
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Blue Jays have a stranglehold on the Alcs even though
technically it's tied up at two wins apiece.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
People love to talk about momentum. You know who you are.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
We'll talk about that and more so check that out. Also,
don't forget fifth hour podcast later today. Here it is
our number three. Well, it's not sleepless in Seattle. It
is winless in Seattle, at least in terms of the Alcs.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Welcome in.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
That's right, you have stumbled upon the one and only
the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mahler Show.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
We are in the air everywhere.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Amigos, as we know this ain't your mom's meat loaf.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Coast coast, border to border.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
And beyond on the vast and muscularly powerful microphones of
fsre emmating live from the spot the sweet spot of
the audio darkness from the world famous Fox Sports Radio studios,
as approved by Matt de Bears Fan. Matt de Bears
(01:51):
Fan approves that message. This portion of the Ben Mahler
Show made possible in part by our friends over at
tire Rack. For over forty years, Tirera 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 convenient installation options like mobile tire installation.
(02:15):
I know Eric in Kansas, he loves loves that mobile
tire installation. And so there's Buttermilk Chavo who sends us
lame jokes, and so many others who are part of
that big lame jokes sing. What's you be coming up
late this hour? Yeah, tire rack dot com the way
tire buying should be. So we're bouncing around here on
(02:36):
the overnight and this hour our lead story from Seattle,
and that was the stage Game four, Game number four
of the Alms. Vladimir Guerrero Junior, Vladie, who couldn't hit
the first two games in Toronto and somewhere.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Flying from his home.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
City there in Toronto, across North America to Seattle, he
found his way hit. He led the Canadian contingent into
the Emerald City for another matchup against the big dumper,
Cal Roley Seattle.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Going into the game leading two to one.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Robbie the Marina fan very optimistic, even Nostre Denis thought
this was the year.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
I wonder how they're feeling now? Did you watch no
Max Schurzer?
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Yep, that guy Max Schurzer turned back time, turned.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
The clock back.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
A vintage performance on the bump for Max Schurzer and
Andres Jimenez who's been pretty mediocre as a blue Jay,
but not right now. He homer drove in four runs
and Allah.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
The bludgeoned the Mariners eight to two.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
And the game played last night and Thursday night there
So the American League Championship Series, which looked like it
was over, is now tied up two wins a piece.
In Vladimir Junior did hit his fifth homer this postseason.
Max Schurzer, forty one years young, allowed two runs in
five and two thirds innings for the Blue Jays. But
(04:10):
the better story, that's right, it's in the losing locker room,
and we talk about Seattle, the pitching staff faltering yet again,
they did the thing you can't do it the time,
you can't do it, horrific, and the offense unable to
keep pace with the Toronto Blue Jays whose bats have
been awoken. And oh what a performance it was. And
(04:33):
that's a good jumping off point. So let us discuss
the question who specifically is responsible, who gets the blame
cup of rain from manager Dan Wilson's Mariners as they
have hit the schneide hit the schneid here, So my observations,
I've got Keynote speaker, bio Engineering Company and Taylor Swift
(04:59):
and we'll come bye and all of these things together,
and we're gonna make a safe space for Robbie the
Mariner fan and JJ and Ritten and crying Craig.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
So number.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Let's not overcomplicate this. It's just overnight talk radio. This
one was not a tough luck loss for the Seattle Mariners.
It was not This was a face plant. This was
a belly whopper. The Mariners had the ace in the hole.
Now the a's turned out to be a joker. You've
got Louis Castillo on the mound at home, must have
(05:36):
it game, not a must.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Gotta have it. You gotta have the game. And what
do you do? Well? He turned into a keynote speaker.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
But unfortunately for the Seattle Mariners, he was not only
the keynote speaker. Luis Castillo is the keynote speaker at
the suck Berg address, because boyd did he suck. And
it's like he was working at an Italian bistro serving
up giant meatballs to the Toronto Blue Jays. Now, this
guy had been absolute nails for a month. I think
(06:07):
I read something like his era was under two. In
his previous five starts, I had been really, really good.
And then in a game you gotta get, you go
up three to one, the Blue Jays are back in
the hole, a giant hole. There, your ace goes out,
goes two and two thirds innings, forty eight pitches, forty
eight pitches, four hits, three earned.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Runs, nada, la la.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Hey, goodbye, took him off the mountain. That as a reminder,
as the great Dick Stockton taught me as a young broadcaster.
He's retired now, but Dick Stockton said, Ben, you know,
stat's tell you what has happened. They don't tell you
what's going to happen. Here's a perfect example. You could
feel the air leave the ballpark. It's like someone climbed
(06:57):
up and popped the space needle balloon, like what are
you doing? And from that moment on it was a
commercial for Southwest Airlines. I want to get away, but
I will have a rant, I.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Believe, I don't think I'll do it today.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Something about Southwest and their commercials got me a little upset,
so I might rant about that today.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
But anyway, it wasn't just Castillo. Now, he was bad, right,
he was bad. Gave up three earned runs, but three
earned runs is a manageable amount.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
It's not ideal for your starting pitcher to go two
and two two and two thirds innings. However, the rest
of the pitching staff, oh no, no, no no.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
The call to the bullpen should have come in with
roll aids when they came out of the bullpen.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
There the bullpen supposedly some of you told me the
backbone of this Mariner team has been coughing up runs
the last couple of games like they're giving out Halloween candy.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Just take whatever you want.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Gabe Spier yet again, bases loaded, two out, walks in
a run. Cardinal Sin walks in a run in a
playoff game. That is the baseball version of tripping over
your own shoelaces. Walks in a run. Someone named Matt Brash,
not very brash. A wild pitch by this Jabbroni another run,
(08:16):
and so at this point it's like they were doing
their best Benny Hill routine and absolute heartburn.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Absolute heartburn. Now in tennis they.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Call those unforced errors walks, misplays defensively poor command of
the strikes and not throwing strikes.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
This loss was a body blow, body blow, body blow.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
After game three, you figure out Game three, you flushed it,
you got blown out. Okay, everyone's due for a stinker.
But you bounce back in game four. You're in good shape,
and Toronto methodically, Bill Leech, it was like they.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Were playing the Yankees again.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
As Seattle's pitching staff came apart at the seams, completely
unre and the Mariner bullpen again statistically pretty good during
the season allowed if my math is correct the last
two games.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
I think I'm right on this. I use Mallard math.
You can fact check me.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
I believe they have allowed twenty one runs in the
last two games. How is that even possible?
Speaker 2 (09:18):
I believe that's correct. All right, Page two.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Now, on the Canadian side of things, we had a
great time at the Malar Meet and greet in Vancouver
a couple a couple months ago. We'd love to go
back to can I had a great time there. I
want to go to Toronto. I've ever been to Toronto.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
I'd love to get there at some point.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
But anyway, question, how does Toronto's Max Scherzer shutting down.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
The Mariner's rank on your unexpected big board? Not a list?
Terry in England. That is not a list. It is
an unexpected big board, which is much different than a list.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
So I'm gonna put this for the twenty twenty five
postseason right at the very top, all right, right at
the very top.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Here's why Max Schurzer has been cooked.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
You got a forty one year old guy, Max Scherzer,
who hasn't thrown a single competitive pitch in like a
month or something like that.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Walking into that game looking like Doc Brown.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Just yanked him out of a Dolorean, if you know
what I mean. The Mariners were expected to feast. They
actually had bibs on during batting practice because they were
licking their chops at what they were gonna do to
Max Scherzer and the Nerds spreadsheets, because you know, the
nerds run baseball.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
If you look at the Nerd spreadsheets.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Going into game for the American League Championship Series, they said, Wow,
the Mariners are gonna win this game.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Toronto's got no chance. The analytics gave him a snowballs
chance in hell of getting it done. But what happened.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Max Scherzer pants the algorithm. He absolutely pants the algorithm.
The nerds crying in their computer models. Because baseball, shockingly
is still played on grass. It is played on grass
by players that smoke grass, not spreadsheets. And so this
was a horror movie for the Seattle mayor not for
(11:08):
the Blue Jays. It was great, but we're talking about
the situation from the mannors. This was Max suers are
pitching that way was like the classic horror movie. There's
a genetically manipulated and very hungry dinosaur that escapes from
the bioengineering company. You know these movies like The Animal Escapes,
the Beast Escapes, and Rex Havoc. In this case, Max
(11:29):
sus are he wrecked Havoc. He chewed through the Mariner lineup.
Seattle came in with this arrogance that they were going
to bounce back, and the bats were all cocked in
the air everywhere, ready to party. And Max Scherzer turned
this into a silent film, a Charlie Chaplin silent film,
early Hollywood, weak content, just bad baseball, bad offense. He
(11:53):
who denied out of a bases loaded jam in the
fifth like he was wearing that old English for the
Detroit Tigers back.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
In the day.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
And this was a book, the book the art of pitching.
It was the art of pitching. The thing the spreadsheets
cannot account for gile, guts and a little bit of
evil genius all mixed together in a stew And I'm
not the biggest Max Schurzer fan. I'll explain why in
(12:25):
a minute. But Max Scherzer was Dragon balls.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Max. Okay, do you understand again? The guy hadn't pitched
in like a month.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
He shows up and looks like he's being powered by
radioactive red. Bully's screaming like a lunatic at his manager.
The Marinage just stood there like tourists visiting Jurassic Park.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
And they're like, Oh, look at that nice dinosaur.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Isn't that pretty? And then wham boom, shaka laka gone.
And this is why they play their games. This is
what they play the games. I learned this from al
Pacino back in the day. On any given Thursday, a
washed up has been pitcher, an old man can turn
back the clock, light up the scoreboard and make the
(13:12):
other teams playoff hopes look like a wet napkin, at
least for that night. The Mariners again, they thought they
were gonna win this game, and instead they got delivered
a Grandfather Clock vintage performance by Max Scherzer.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
The Jase for the moment have their mojo back, playing
with confidence.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Now to the Komodo Dragon in the room. As many
of you know, we do this show on a nightly basis.
We've done this show for many, many years. I have
not forgiven Max Scherzer for his crime against baseball That
was the twenty twenty one National League Championship Series Game
six Dodgers in the Atlanta Braves. Dodgers trying to defend
their reigning World Series championship, hardest World Series ever won
(13:52):
during the pandemic global pandemic, they won.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
The World Series.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Dodgers playing the Atlanta Braves needed to win that game
to force a game seven. Max Scherzer, who was only
a Dog for a brief time, was brought in to
pitch that game and Max Scherzer said, I cannot pitch,
is Max?
Speaker 2 (14:05):
What's wrong? I've got fatigue.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Now, the theory has always been that Max Scherzer didn't
want to pitch that game because he wanted to save himself.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
He wasn't one hundred percent and he didn't want to.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Risk himself because he was going to become a free
agent after that, and the Dodgers would lose that game,
and Schurezer got into it with the Dodger people. They
went back and forth, but it was just so unbecoming
and since then that's become the norm, a wussification of pitchers,
you know, not not going for it.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
But this was a performance were Surezer looked wonderful. And
so the Blue Jays are in good shape now the
final point.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Based on the last two games, everyone and their mother
seems to believe now that Toronto has has this series kidnapped, shackled, assaulted,
and locked in a makeshift cell somewhere in British Columbia.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
And that they're keeping it there.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
So the question would the Mariners be preparing for cantcun
the series?
Speaker 2 (15:04):
At this point we're four games in. Do the Blue Jays?
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Do the Blue Jays have a stranglehold on the twenty
twenty five alcs. So my response is, Paulice right, do
not be a prisoner of the moment. I will be
Benny Brightside. I am now going to give my friends
in Seattle a pep talk. I don't have to give
you a pep talk, but I'm gonna give you a
pep talk. This series should be on Benny versus the Penny.
(15:30):
Forget about Fox and Turner and all. I know those
things on Fox, but this should be on Benny versus
the Penny. Here's why it's a coin flip. It's two
to two. It's a best of three. Now and if
I'm Seattle, I like the spot I'm in. Yeah, Dave Robinson,
I liked him in that spot. I like Seattle in
this spot.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
And here's why.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
They have an advantage that the Blue Jays do not have.
And that's our fa What does that mean? That is
road field advantage? Road field advantage. These guys don't blink
when they see an airport gate. This isn't some twelve
hour greyhound bus ride with gas station nachos.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
That they're eating.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
The Mariners love those chartered flights, the catered meals, the
per diem, the cushy buses that they travel on, the
police escorts. They travel like Taylor Swift on tour. Major
League Baseball modern major League baseball has all the creature comforts.
It's very upsetting to people in baseball. There's really no
home field advantage. Every broadcast during the playoffs, it's broadcasting
(16:37):
one on one. Oh my god. The crowd is so
into it. It's a madhouse here. Every broadcast, even when
it's not true, say a sampling, they want to give
you the illusion that there's some kind of big advantage
because the crowd's into.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
The game and it's not.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
The players are insulated from all that, and there's really
no home field advantage other than the dimensions of the ball.
Part the way that plays now. Meanwhile, psa time, a
friendly reminder from your overnight blowhard that yet again we
can kill the word momentum.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
We can kill the word momentum.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
It does not exist. Because again Seattle had all the momentum.
They lost it somewhere over Fargo. We determined they put
it in the overhead bin. There was some turbulence over Fargo,
North Dakota, and it fell out and fell down somewhere.
It's on a farm outside Fargo. And now the Blue
Jays got all the momentum. However they don't because it
(17:35):
doesn't exist. One day in baseball you're King Kong. The
next day you're a Chihuahua and you're afraid of the
rain and it's raining. Baseball is just different. It's just
a different animal sport of baseball. And momentum again, can't
measure it, you can't touch it, you can't feel it.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
It doesn't exist.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
If momentum existed, then half of these postseason collapses would
not be possible because no one would ever give up momentum.
Momentum would be the most valuable thing in the world.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
You would never give it up. Wy would you give
it up? You can't give it up.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
It's the most powerful, all knowing, almighty all momentum. It's omnipresent.
You would never give it up, but they do all right.

Mallard Riddle of the Day. We'll get to that. We'll

Speaker 1 (20:42):
Then we'll take some calls and it's a fun hour
ahead and right now we as we started this hour
with Hot Mariner Blue Jay talk on the pulse of
the sporting world. But here is the Malor Riddle of
the Day, inspired by legends like Alf the Alien, Opinter
and Ferg Dog.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Alvin Kamara. It's a running back, He's our running back.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Alvin Kamara says he will go blank somewhere if he's
traded by the Saints.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Again.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
Alvin Kamara says he will go blank somewhere if he's
traded by the Saints. That is the malor riddle of
the day. And listen, does anyone know the answer to
the riddle of the day. We go to the hoy
POLOI the great Unwashed, and what do we have here?
Tot's see page Dan Paige Dan late night drug tester
(21:33):
says he.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Will go become a cake decorator. Is the answer?
Speaker 1 (21:40):
The running back says he will make a run for
the border if he gets traded. Looks like he's going
to the CFL.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Alf the alien o piner says.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
He'll go immediately call moving man Matt and King Louis
and get the hell out of Dodge.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Yeah, of course.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
A cry harder big baby writes in says he will
go assault another man outside a nightclub if he has traded. Well,
that was actually in a casino in Las Vegas, and
there are more cameras.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Here's a fun fact.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
There are more cameras in the casinos in Vegas than
at the Pentagon. So if you're gonna beat somebody up,
you don't want to be at a casino in Vegas.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Okay, do you understand? Let's see what do we have here?
What else? Page down? Let's see here?
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Can't read that, mister Irrigation checks in, though Donkey Sausage
says he will go wear a disco outfit. Boy, that's interesting.
Alvin Kamara will go pound sand with a rubber rubber
mallet from Jay Dot. Well, that's gonna suck. Losing Jay
Dott as a live listener's going to the dreaded day
Shift next week. We're gonna lose Jay Dot as a
live listener. He'd be a dead listener. I know, well
(22:47):
he won't be dead, but you know he'll be on
the podcast, just Josh as. Alvin Kamara said he would
go skydiving with Johnny Utah if he gets traded by
the Saints. He said, kicking and screaming is the answer.
Jt the Wingman says he'll go sleep with the fishes
if he has to. Ozzie was got this right, bad
(23:08):
job by him obviously cheating Ozzie was.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
Let mean, come on, dude, you're in Australia. You shouldn't
cheat like that.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Let's see page down. Chris and Kent Washington. I don't
know what that is.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
I I'm not gonna say what else do we have?
See page down.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Trucker Joe says will go beat up another person outside
an elevator suck his thumb in the closet from Doug
in South Korea?
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Who else do we have? Paige down? Page down? All right,
that's do you have an answer? Laray? Uh? Yeah, I
think he's gonna go jump off a cliff somewhere, all right,
jump off of Clivets. Is he gonna jump off of clifts?
Speaker 3 (23:44):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (23:44):
That is incorrect, incorrect, the correct answer. Alvin Kamara says,
if he is traded by the Saints, he will go
drink a Pinut Colada.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
So he likes that idea. Yeah, yeah, yes, there you
go on when I'm on vacation. Yeah, you don't have
them at home? No, too much work to put it together.
I got you, I got you, I understand.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
All right.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Let's go back to the calls, and we have lame
jokes coming up a little bit later in the hour.
And let's see. My board is being reset as I
wait for that. Let's see who do we have you? Okay,
here we go. Let's go to any Meani miney. Let's
go to Andrea.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
Andrea is in Berkeley. She's the astrology insider. I've not
heard from her in a little bit.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Let's get the latest on the cosmic news and well
to Andrea. Hello Andrea, Hi Dan, how are you?
Speaker 1 (24:40):
If I was any better, I'd be a brewer, but
not a Milwaukee Brewer because they are down three games
to none to the Dodgers in the NLCS.
Speaker 6 (24:49):
Yeah, I really enjoy watching the Dodgers starting pictures. I
mean it's like old school, you know, going so many
innings and you know, like Siever Mattlack, who's back in
the day, and it's so funny, the whole Blake Snell.
I'm risking my life, bro. I heard that in the
background when I was looking at his heart. But I
want to talk about fellow Virgo Tyler Glass. Now he's
(25:13):
August twenty third, nineteen ninety seven, and he did really well.
I mean the past several starts he's done really well.
And I noticed this aspect that happens once every two years. Mars.
You know, Mars is important athlete, planet energy, assertion, aggression.
Mars's conjunct his Pluto, which is power. So this has
(25:35):
been a really powerful window of time for him. So
I was really glad to see him kind of carry
on the tradition of three starting pictures winning in a row.
So that was really nice to see. So I'm just,
you know, really excited to watch su're staying in as
long as they have. And then when I was just
(25:55):
combing through some information, this is kind of an interesting thing.
Not one of my favorite players, but Bryce Harper turned
thirty three today and he wears the number thirty three.
So I thought, oh, there was a little interesting and.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
We're going to talk about this next hour.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
But Bryce Harper called out by the Phillies GM as
not being elite anymore.
Speaker 6 (26:17):
Yes, yeah, so it's interesting. His October sixteenth, nineteen ninety three,
So he turned thirty three and he wears the number
thirty three, and he got called out.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Okay, yeah, on his thirty third birthday, you got called
happy birthday, Bryce, You're not that great anymore, Happy birthday.
Speaker 6 (26:36):
Thank you. I couldn't have said it better myself.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Yes, exactly. All right, Well, listen, it's great to hear
from you as always. If you're doing well, everything's okay
with you, Yes, you're all right.
Speaker 6 (26:45):
I had some back paying flare up, so i'll spare
you the details.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
I know one of your.
Speaker 6 (26:51):
Callers gave you like a whole laundry list of what
was ailing them.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Yeah, well it's it's a blessing because, as my grand
father said, getting old is not for whims, right, you
gotta be tough on all that stuff. Stuff occasionally start turting,
but just rub some this. I'm some kind of gobbly
goo or.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
Something on there. You'll feel better and you'll be good
to go. Okay, remember that's right, that's right.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
I know that's right. That's a great I do. I
don't do it every day. Once a week or so,
I take a nice set back. Feels great. Yeah, good
to relax, all right, absolutely, thank you, Ed and Virgo
and service Virgo in service.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
You want to say hello to our friend Andrew. Let's
go to Mike Wanachi Man. Who's next up?
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Hello, mister Onanachi Man for hot Mariner talk Hot, yeah talk.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
Well, you know, I talked to you not long ago,
and I wasn't really overly optimistic. And now you know
why I think I've gone through this stuff my whole life.
I'm from Seattle Morning, raised there until I moved out
of the sewer four years ago. And uh, I think
(28:01):
the Mariners are kind of like the guy who thinks
he's really tough and really cool and finally gets invited
to be a prospect for the Hell's Angels and then
does something really stupid and goes to a party with
the angels and falls asleep, and he wakes up, and
there's pictures of him with them doing all kinds of
(28:22):
stuff around him and painting on his face and peeing
on him and stuff. I think that's where the Mariners
are right now. I don't know what they can do.
I think Dan Wilson, I think I saw that. I
think he's got to shave that mustache. It's the worst
mustache since Groucho Marx and Animal Crackers or Rashida to leave.
You know, it's just.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
It's not not a good look. The mustard. He looks
a lot older than he is.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
That doesn't he look a lot older than he is
because of the must I think it's the mustache.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
I know.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
It just makes it look like a walrus. He looks
like he looks like he looks like you know, what
was the old the guy that used to do that.
I can't even think it was name.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
Oh, I know, I know he did the insurance commercials.
Yeah he's dead, but I know who you're talking about. Yeah,
burly mustache Yeah, there was a golfer on the PGA
tour years ago that had a big mustache like that too.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
But you know one thing per years when I was
in Seattle, I was also a bartender, kind of a
cool one of the original Irish pubs in Seattle, and
I used to run in, get to run into celebrities
and stuff because I was a closing weekend bartender and
I used to have some cool celebrities. The only one
(29:36):
that wasn't cool was I don't know if you remember
who she was, but it was Pat Finlee, that woman
that was on the New Heart Show.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
She was a real crank but did not did not
expect on the the.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
Ed O'Neill was cool. Chris Chris Nova Silic was really cool.
Kim Baale was cool.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Uh you're you lived right.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
Down the street from our pub and he was very cool.
Bill Lamber used to come in and throw darts when
the women's w NBA team, the only good thing you
could ever say about w NBA. He used to come
in to throw dark sleep at night because we had
a steel tip board. But my best celebrity encounter of
all time was when I was a kid going to
(30:25):
parochial school. We had a guy in our in our
school who was the nephew of Ben Davidson. And at
that time, University of Washington used to play a alumni game,
and Ben Davidson went to the University Washington and they
used to play a spring alumni game and he'd come
for the game. And this kid lived right across the
(30:46):
street from our school, and he was coming for the game,
and he came rolling up in his big four x
four pickup with his Doberman pinchers in the back of
the pickup, and the nuns let him come over to
sign autographs, and we came out to the school yard
(31:07):
to get autographs mine and I was coming from the
Scholastic Book Club thing and the only thing I had
for him to sign was The Rise and Fall of
Adolf Hitler by William Shire, and I handed it to
him and he looked at it, and you can kind
of imagine he gave me this look like you got
to be a kidd, and he goes, really, and I said,
(31:28):
it's the only thing I got and he goes, all right, well,
learn something from mister kid, and he signed it to
Mike from Ben Davidson. So I got a I got
a hit. Her book signed by the great Ben Davidson.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Did not expect that, Mike. I gotta go, but thank you, Mike.
Look at that work, this whole life story. Like every celebrity,
Mike the old bartender ran into I was waiting for
him to say I had the Pope in there one
day and he was having some drinks and we were talking,
and then you know, let's go to Jed who play
Who's also got some amazing stories, but not about celebrities
(32:03):
like that. Hello Jed who fled in Florida.
Speaker 7 (32:07):
Ben, I'm usually under the daisy influence of mister christ anthetamine.
It's hard to get sleep. Is there anything you can
put that guy back on the airt me over there?
That I was mid? I was mid, like people don't understand.
Like right now people are looking at me like what
did you do?
Speaker 3 (32:26):
What you what?
Speaker 7 (32:27):
Just close the sack up for I'm like, boy's time
to sleep. I don't know if you heard that guy
on the radio, and it is time to hibernate like bears.
Bears right now have been their entire like cycle has
been thrown off entirely. That got through my my car Loude.
I don't know how you do that? Right there, I
don't know how.
Speaker 6 (32:41):
You do it.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
You want to go back on Hold, I can put you
on hole, we can get somebody else on. Maybe it'll
