- 0:28Speaker 2: the Dave Roberts Dodgers are on track? We will discuss
- 0:32Speaker 2: their domination of San Diego. Also, can the Dodgers just
- 0:37Speaker 2: turn it on in October like flipping a light switch?
- 0:41Speaker 2: And how does Marlin's outfielder Dane Myers have a heckling
- 0:47Speaker 2: Red Sox fan removed sitting a sit with you. We

- 0:53Speaker 2: that as well. Right now here it is our number one.
- 0:58Speaker 2: Waking up from the hybernation situation. Welcome in the beginning
- 1:06Speaker 2: of another week of the Ben Malor Shaw. We are
- 1:10Speaker 2: in the air everywhere companions late at night. As we know,
- 1:19Speaker 2: radio is the cockroach, especially nighttime radio, cockroach of the media.
- 1:24Speaker 2: It survives everything, literally everything coast to coast, border to
- 1:28Speaker 2: border and beyond on the vast and sharply powerful microphones
- 1:33Speaker 2: of fs are ammundating live do it live from the
- 1:38Speaker 2: craft as we handcraft. The quality of the sports takes
- 1:44Speaker 2: here from the Fox Sports Radio studios as approved by
- 1:48Speaker 2: the snooker. I don't know who that is, but he
- 1:50Speaker 2: says he'll be at the Mallard Meet and Greet in
- 1:53Speaker 2: Vegas less than a week away from that. He lives
- 1:56Speaker 2: in Vegas, so it's convenient for him. But we'll be
- 1:58Speaker 2: hanging out there. And this portion of the Ben Maler
- 2:01Speaker 2: Show made possible in part by our friends at ti Iraq.
- 2:04Speaker 2: For over forty years, ti iraq has been helping customers
- 2:07Speaker 2: find the right tires or how, what and where they
- 2:10Speaker 2: drive ship fast and freeback by free road hazard protection
- 2:14Speaker 2: with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation tire iraq
- 2:20Speaker 2: dot Com the way tire buying should be. So or
- 2:22Speaker 2: leave this hour is from Los Angeles and that is
- 2:26Speaker 2: where the showdown, which looked like a mismatch coming into
- 2:30Speaker 2: the weekend, the NL West Showdown the pod Squad in
- 2:34Speaker 2: the catbird seat leading the nationally West at the start
- 2:37Speaker 2: of the weekend, taking on the Dodgers, who had been floundering,
- 2:40Speaker 2: seemingly not giving a rats ass about competing in Major
- 2:44Speaker 2: League Baseball since the start of July. The Big Bad Dodgers,
- 2:49Speaker 2: who were just bad, bad to the bone, and taking
- 2:52Speaker 2: on the Pottery. So they've matched up this weekend. I
- 2:54Speaker 2: assume you know what happened by now, but maybe not.
- 2:55Speaker 2: Perhaps you were not paying attention. Bad job by you,
- 2:58Speaker 2: So Mookie back. Mookie Bets, who'd been stealing money for
- 3:03Speaker 2: four months from the Dodgers, hit a tie breaking solo
- 3:06Speaker 2: home run, and the Dodgers, who blew a four run
- 3:10Speaker 2: lead on Sunday, but that eighth inning home run enough,
- 3:14Speaker 2: and the Dodgers end up beating the Potters five to four,
- 3:20Speaker 2: and they now sweep that series. They have a two
- 3:23Speaker 2: game lead, just like that, go from down one to
- 3:26Speaker 2: up to in the division. Freddie Freeman started the offense earlier.
- 3:31Speaker 2: The Dodgers jumped all over you, darbish at the beginning
- 3:33Speaker 2: of the game. Freddy Freeman eate a two strike, three
- 3:36Speaker 2: run dinger, and then Andy Piez also hit home run
- 3:40Speaker 2: for the Dodgers early on, but they blew that lead.
- 3:42Speaker 2: Tyler Glass now unable to complete the mission and just
- 3:46Speaker 2: nurse the lead not able to get that done. So
- 3:49Speaker 2: the Dodgers opened the series again trailing by a game.
- 3:53Speaker 2: They end up sweeping the Padres and outscored them by
- 3:59Speaker 2: eight runs over the weekend. So they get the victory
- 4:02Speaker 2: and are in first place. The Dodgers out hitting the Podres.
- 4:06Speaker 2: The Potterys, who had the Potteris actually had more hits.
- 4:11Speaker 2: I should say than that. I don't always said that right.
- 4:13Speaker 2: The Dodgers had more hits than the the The Potters
- 4:15Speaker 2: had more hits than the Dodgers. The problem, if the
- 4:18Speaker 2: man could speak that way up. The problem for San
- 4:20Speaker 2: Diego was they could not get hits with runners in
- 4:23Speaker 2: scoring position. They had twenty opportunities over the weekend, three
- 4:26Speaker 2: for twenty. That's say, one to fifty batting average for
- 4:30Speaker 2: the team from Sandygo, nineteen runners in scoring position over
- 4:34Speaker 2: the weekend. So we'll talk about this and the storyline
- 4:39Speaker 2: going into it, and what the storyline is coming out
- 4:41Speaker 2: of it here and immediately, of course, my inbox filled
- 4:45Speaker 2: up with messages varying degrees of rage. I tried to
- 4:49Speaker 2: tell you, Mallard, tried to tell you. You didn't listen.
- 4:53Speaker 2: You're just being a shock Jock, that's why you're doing
- 4:55Speaker 2: overnights because you ripped the Dodgers. They didn't deserve to
- 4:59Speaker 2: be ripped. Bad job by you, Right, it's all the
- 5:03Speaker 2: puffing the chest out because the Dodgers swept the Podrays.
- 5:06Speaker 2: C Ben, I told you the Dodgers are fine, Dave
- 5:10Speaker 2: Roberts is a great manager, and they're okay, and you
- 5:14Speaker 2: don't know what you're talking about. Yeah, okay, you just overreacted.
- 5:17Speaker 2: Blah blah blah blah blah blah bla. It was that.
- 5:21Speaker 2: I'm paraphrasing some of that, but it was the gist
- 5:23Speaker 2: of the conversation. So let us discuss the question. Does
- 5:28Speaker 2: the weekends sweep by the Dodgers prove that Dave Roberts
- 5:34Speaker 2: and the boys are fine? Everything's great here. They swept
- 5:38Speaker 2: the Podreys and they're on track. Does it prove all that?
- 5:42Speaker 2: So that is the question. I've got bay Watch, chicken legs,
- 5:45Speaker 2: and Neon sign and we will combine all of these
- 5:49Speaker 2: things together and we're gonna put the biscuit in the basket.
- 5:54Speaker 2: All right, We're gonna put the biscuit in the basket.
- 5:55Speaker 2: So to answer the question, does the weekend sweep of
- 6:00Speaker 2: the padres By the Dodgers proved that Dave robertson company,
- 6:02Speaker 2: they're on track, everything is good to go, and that
- 6:05Speaker 2: all this outrage, all this anger was misguided. Uh and
- 6:10Speaker 2: I'm shaking my head. No, absolutely not. Are you kidding me?
- 6:17Speaker 2: Are you dumb? I mean, if anything, if you take
- 6:20Speaker 2: a couple of steps back and look at the landscape
- 6:23Speaker 2: and look at what happened, If anything, this proves the
- 6:26Speaker 2: exact opposite that the hypothesis was spot on, that what
- 6:31Speaker 2: I saw was proof that the way the Dodgers had
- 6:34Speaker 2: performed the last two much they were mailing it in.
- 6:38Speaker 2: They were mailing it. That's an indictment on Dave Roberts
- 6:41Speaker 2: and the Dodgers. I think mailed it in like it
- 6:44Speaker 2: was an America Online back in the nineties, baby, slow
- 6:47Speaker 2: and clunky, and that's it might as well charged by
- 6:51Speaker 2: the hour. It's ridiculous dial up internet. That's the way
- 6:54Speaker 2: they were playing for the last two months. And so
- 6:56Speaker 2: this weekend shows you you watch the way they play,
- 7:00Speaker 2: shows you that they have been floating along la la
- 7:04Speaker 2: la la, floating along some kind of an episode of
- 7:08Speaker 2: of Baywatch back in the day. And they're they're waiting
- 7:10Speaker 2: for Pamela Anderson to come out there and blow the
- 7:13Speaker 2: whistle and drag them out of the surf. And in
- 7:17Speaker 2: this case, they woke up and beat up the Podres.
- 7:20Speaker 2: And now they play the Rockies, which are a minor
- 7:22Speaker 2: league team, and then they played the Padres again. So
- 7:24Speaker 2: we'll see how things go this week. But they've clearly
- 7:27Speaker 2: been coasting the other injuries. Oh yeah, okay, the deepest
- 7:32Speaker 2: team of all time. Yeah, they've had injuries. Backups are
- 7:34Speaker 2: playing and spoiler alert, they're not playing well. Uh and
- 7:38Speaker 2: so uh, I stand by, I stand by tough love
- 7:42Speaker 2: Malard monologues I do when it comes to the Dodgers.
- 7:45Speaker 1: Uh.
- 7:46Speaker 2: They've been on the inner tube, floating on the lazy River,
- 7:49Speaker 2: having a cocktail on the lazy River for the last
- 7:52Speaker 2: couple of months, just drifting along la la la la
- 7:56Speaker 2: la la la la la la la la la sandbagging,
- 7:59Speaker 2: if you will, in the month of July and the
- 8:02Speaker 2: month of August, which is unbecoming. It is unbecoming is
- 8:07Speaker 2: the word I will use here. And you pick up
- 8:10Speaker 2: bad habits, bad habits which are not easy to break.
- 8:14Speaker 2: They're not now page two. Can the Doyers just turn
- 8:20Speaker 2: it on in October. Imagine they'll go back and lose
- 8:22Speaker 2: a game or two against the Rockies, and they'll go
- 8:25Speaker 2: back to their losing ways here before the end of
- 8:28Speaker 2: the regular season. So I asked the question, can the
- 8:31Speaker 2: Dodgers just turn it on in October and like they're
- 8:35Speaker 2: flipping some kind of light switch and that's it? So
- 8:38Speaker 2: can they? Sure they can, But generally speak, generally speaking,
- 8:44Speaker 2: it doesn't happen maybe one out of one thousand, one
- 8:46Speaker 2: out of five thousand. It doesn't happen all that often.
- 8:49Speaker 2: It's just that Dodger hubris, which I don't like. I
- 8:52Speaker 2: do not like that, and they don't care what I think.
- 8:56Speaker 2: But the Dodgers the way they've been approaching this season,
- 9:00Speaker 2: they got off to a good start and then they
- 9:03Speaker 2: played bad for about a month, and then they played okay,
- 9:06Speaker 2: and then they've been back in the doldrums and all
- 9:08Speaker 2: that stuff. But it's it's kind of like showing up
- 9:11Speaker 2: to run a marathon. Can see the ball you're gonna
- 9:13Speaker 2: run the Boston Marathon, and you're like, I am not
- 9:17Speaker 2: going to train to run the Boston Marathon. I don't
- 9:21Speaker 2: need to train, and I'll just jog around the block
- 9:25Speaker 2: A couple of times, and I'll carbloaded and then I'm
- 9:28Speaker 2: going to run the marathon and that'll work out for
- 9:32Speaker 2: a while. Then eventually, at some point you're gonna hit
- 9:35Speaker 2: Heartbreak Hill and your heart will break, you'll die, that'll
- 9:39Speaker 2: be that. But you'll be puking on the sidewalk somewhere,
- 9:42Speaker 2: and that's what's gonna be happy. And so that's the
- 9:46Speaker 2: way it goes. The Dinners have so much more talent.
- 9:49Speaker 2: Everyone says that, oh, there's so much more talented than
- 9:51Speaker 2: anyone else in the National League. And yet you compare
- 9:53Speaker 2: and contrast the way they approach the games to the
- 9:56Speaker 2: Milwaukee Brewers, who did lose on Sunday. But what a
- 10:00Speaker 2: juxtaposition between the brew crew and the Dodgers there, and
- 10:05Speaker 2: again they got a bunch of guys that are floaters
- 10:07Speaker 2: on that team. And you don't want the floaters, right,
- 10:10Speaker 2: They just coasting along and Dave Roberts out there acting
- 10:13Speaker 2: like the the lifeguard on break, if you will, and
- 10:17Speaker 2: sitting in his chair kind of twirling you know, the whistle.
- 10:20Speaker 3: There.
- 10:21Speaker 2: All will be fun, everything's all right, everything will be okay, yeah, okay,
- 10:25Speaker 2: we'll swim when it matters. We will swim when it matters.
- 10:29Speaker 2: They're like, okay, you don't tell me about the regular seasons,
- 10:33Speaker 2: doesn't matter, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
- 10:35Speaker 2: blah blah blah blah blah. But the Dodgers in anyways,
- 10:37Speaker 2: like the kid who gets straight a's on the homework
- 10:42Speaker 2: and then cannot complete the final. You know, you all
- 10:45Speaker 2: know that person. Of course, it's changed now with chat
- 10:48Speaker 2: GPT now it's changed a lot, but it's it's like
- 10:50Speaker 2: they've in no way to look at it, like they've
- 10:53Speaker 2: been skipping leg day because they don't want to do
- 10:55Speaker 2: the leg day there and their upper body is big
- 10:58Speaker 2: and beefy and they've big roster they can flex and
- 11:01Speaker 2: all that stuff. And then when you need your legs
- 11:05Speaker 2: in crunch time, you got that chicken leg thing. You
- 11:07Speaker 2: got that chicken leg and chicken legs never a good thing,
- 11:11Speaker 2: never a good thing in that situation. So you just
- 11:13Speaker 2: can't support the weight and you come crumbling down, down, down,
- 11:17Speaker 2: down under pressure. So I don't want to hear. Well,
- 11:21Speaker 2: they proved it, they proved it.
- 11:23Speaker 3: You were wrong.
- 11:24Speaker 2: No, again, the Dodgers proved I was right that they
- 11:28Speaker 2: had this in them, and they didn't approach it the
- 11:31Speaker 2: right way. They approach it the right way this weekend
- 11:34Speaker 2: and they beat up the Podreys and congratulations, And they
- 11:37Speaker 2: didn't prove they're fine because they're capable of coasting along
- 11:42Speaker 2: yet again and losing to inferior opponents. What it proved
- 11:46Speaker 2: is that Dave Roberts has done a bad job. The
- 11:49Speaker 2: team is too comfortable. There's no edge to this team.
- 11:52Speaker 2: They're too casual and they're too content. That again, I
- 11:57Speaker 2: go back to the word arrogance, that they are are
- 12:00Speaker 2: so sure of themselves that the regular season they just
- 12:03Speaker 2: being cruise control. And that's it. That is not championship behavior.
- 12:09Speaker 2: It is not. That is not the way that you
- 12:13Speaker 2: have success in October. It's not. That is puke in
- 12:18Speaker 2: your mouth baseball. It's sandbagging nonsense. All right, I'm gonna
- 12:23Speaker 2: turn the page on that. We're gonna go now. Last
- 12:25Speaker 2: where we go to Boston. We had a fan player
- 12:30Speaker 2: brew haha. That took place on a lazy Sunday afternoon
- 12:36Speaker 2: at Finnway, that is where the Marlins right field. There's
- 12:38Speaker 2: someone named Dane Myers. I have no idea who it is,
- 12:42Speaker 2: but Dane Myers apparently he's an outfielder for the Marlins,
- 12:45Speaker 2: which is like barely a major league team. It's like
- 12:47Speaker 2: a minor league slash major league team. So Dane Myers
- 12:50Speaker 2: hit a tying home run in the ninth inning and
- 12:54Speaker 2: Miami rallied past the sacks to get the win. Myers
- 12:59Speaker 2: got into it though, with a couple of fans that
- 13:01Speaker 2: were hackling out, heckling him out in the bleachers in
- 13:04Speaker 2: right field, and then that began in the eighth inning.
- 13:08Speaker 2: The Red Sox led three to two at that point,
- 13:11Speaker 2: we were told that continued in the ninth he Homer
- 13:14Speaker 2: then Jacob Marcy, the guy that lit up the Cleveland
- 13:18Speaker 2: Former Indians last week. Marcy followed. He had a two
- 13:21Speaker 2: out or two run shot that put the Marlins ahead
- 13:24Speaker 2: in that game. So Wyamy ended up winning the game.
- 13:26Speaker 2: But the story here is the interaction between the player
- 13:31Speaker 2: in this case, Dane Myers, and the Red Sox fan
- 13:36Speaker 2: and fans in this case because the Gestapo there, the
- 13:40Speaker 2: police of Finway kicking multiple fans out of their seats,
- 13:44Speaker 2: out of their seats because of words. Now, Myers would
- 13:48Speaker 2: not get into specifics. He did not say exactly what
- 13:51Speaker 2: was said. Although he engaged the fans, he got into
- 13:55Speaker 2: it with the fans, he said. The only thing he
- 13:57Speaker 2: said was that the fans were drinking too more. I'm
- 14:00Speaker 2: paraphrasing some of this, but they had too many beers,
- 14:03Speaker 2: and that he said he needs to handle this more
- 14:06Speaker 2: like a pro and just be a little bit better,
- 14:10Speaker 2: which sounds like something that came from the Marlins PR department,
- 14:13Speaker 2: that he was just parroting what the PR people told
- 14:15Speaker 2: him to say. So, how does the Marlins outfielder Dane
- 14:19Speaker 2: Meyers having a multiple multiple Red Sox fans were moved
- 14:25Speaker 2: heckling Red Sox fans? How does that sit with you?
- 14:28Speaker 2: All right? So on this one, it sits rotten. Rotten,
- 14:33Speaker 2: is what it says. Because here's the thing you can't
- 14:37Speaker 2: be and this is the way I approached And we've
- 14:39Speaker 2: had a lot of these instances that have taken place,
- 14:41Speaker 2: all right, these fan player situations that pop up. But
- 14:45Speaker 2: you can't be the big, strong chisel professional athlete living
- 14:49Speaker 2: the dream right and then get rattled by a middle
- 14:53Speaker 2: aged dude or dudes in cargo shorts who are multiple
- 15:00Speaker 2: Sam Adams past the wind, you know, beer belly, yelling
- 15:04Speaker 2: at you you stink or worse from ten feet away
- 15:10Speaker 2: because you're the one. The minimum salary in baseball is
- 15:14Speaker 2: an absurd amount of money. You're laughing all the way
- 15:17Speaker 2: to the bank here. You are financially in great shape here,
- 15:20Speaker 2: and you sit there and you close out your mind.
- 15:24Speaker 2: You don't worry about what is being said, and you
- 15:27Speaker 2: think about all that money you're making. Well, these people
- 15:29Speaker 2: are paying money to watch you play, right, it's like
- 15:34Speaker 2: these interactions, these and I don't know this. And this
- 15:36Speaker 2: is a soft generation. I got it. I understand. They're
- 15:38Speaker 2: all soft. We got you, I understand. But still, at
- 15:42Speaker 2: some point, don't these guys have to realize, like what
- 15:44Speaker 2: are we doing here? Like it's like Superman calling the
- 15:47Speaker 2: cops because oh my god, Lex Luthor gave me a
- 15:51Speaker 2: dirty look. I'm calling the cops. We know you're Superman.
- 15:54Speaker 2: What are you doing. You're not supposed to do that.
- 15:56Speaker 2: It's a bad job by you. And again it goes back.
- 16:00Speaker 2: So we have to start this and at a young age,
- 16:02Speaker 2: Dixon Stones may bake my bones, but names will never
- 16:04Speaker 2: hurt me. And just go with that nursery rhyme. And
- 16:07Speaker 2: that's it, that old dusty nursery rhyme, which has passed
- 16:11Speaker 2: the test of time. Generation generation, et cetera. Instead, Instead,
- 16:16Speaker 2: what you have done, and this happens universally when you
- 16:20Speaker 2: when you end up having fans remove from their seats
- 16:23Speaker 2: because of heckling, what you have done is handed out
- 16:26Speaker 2: the troll playbook. You've given every drunk, everyone who aspires
- 16:33Speaker 2: to be a troll. You have given them the green light,
- 16:36Speaker 2: and you say, Okay, this guy can't handle it, mister softy.
- 16:40Speaker 2: It's a mister softy. And then boom, you can get
- 16:44Speaker 2: in this guy's head right in that and it's like
- 16:47Speaker 2: you're you're in traffic and somebody cuts you off, and
- 16:52Speaker 2: instead of just honking your horn or what I do
- 16:53Speaker 2: is I give these subtle under the dashboard bird. They
- 16:57Speaker 2: can't see it, the other car can't see that. I'm
- 16:59Speaker 2: giving them the number one sign. They can't see them,
- 17:03Speaker 2: but I'm giving them the universal sign under the dashboard.
- 17:07Speaker 2: And I hawked my horn. And that's it where I've
- 17:08Speaker 2: done with it. But none of this is like, hey,
- 17:11Speaker 2: I'm not gonna move on. What I am going to
- 17:13Speaker 2: do is I am going to follow that person home
- 17:19Speaker 2: wherever they're going, I'm gonna follow them home, and I'm
- 17:21Speaker 2: gonna argue about it and I'm gonna escalate the situation.
- 17:25Speaker 2: You've lost the game within the game. There is an
- 17:28Speaker 2: art to it. There is an art to it. And
- 17:31Speaker 2: Dame Myers, this guy had no name for the Miami Marlins,
- 17:35Speaker 2: because everyone on the Marlins is a no name. So
- 17:37Speaker 2: Dame Myers didn't just hit a home run. He gave
- 17:41Speaker 2: birth to an army, a full on freakin' army of heckler's.
- 17:47Speaker 2: And he might as well just put a neon sign
- 17:50Speaker 2: around his neck. Please heckle me. And those that study
- 17:55Speaker 2: the art of heckling, they said, well, who cares about
- 17:57Speaker 2: a guy on the Marlins? And that's true, But if
- 17:59Speaker 2: you know someone on his thin skinned and they have
- 18:02Speaker 2: that salamander skin, then you will. You will find them.
- 18:06Speaker 2: And rather than compartmentalize, you just go and you can
- 18:11Speaker 2: buy some noise canceling headphones, ear muffs, something along those
- 18:17Speaker 2: line lines, and no, instead you end up interacting, you engage.
- 18:24Speaker 2: These two people got removed from their seats. It is
- 18:27Speaker 2: the Ben Madler Show. If you'd like to begin the
- 18:30Speaker 2: weekday time to get in right now. Look at that
- 18:32Speaker 2: brand new week on the show, and all the lines
- 18:35Speaker 2: are open at eighty seven seven ninety nine on Fox
- 18:38Speaker 2: eight seven seven nine nine six six three sixty nine.
- 18:43Speaker 2: I just was smelling it. It smells a little bit
- 18:46Speaker 2: like there's a skunk in the air conditioning. I think
- 18:48Speaker 2: there might have been something a little smelling here. Smell,
- 18:51Speaker 2: smellet you know, smell. It's just a faint smell. Maybe

- 22:06Speaker 2: who is hitting I believe he's hitting two sixty something
- 22:09Speaker 2: for the Cubs this year. And before the season, the
- 22:12Speaker 2: projections from Kyle Tucker's agent, of course, who else but
- 22:17Speaker 2: Kyle Tucker's agent, it was like, well, this guy's gonna
- 22:19Speaker 2: get five hundred million dollars. He's gonna be the next
- 22:21Speaker 2: five hundred million dollar guy. Things have not gone particularly
- 22:25Speaker 2: well for Kyle Tucker. You don't need me to tell
- 22:28Speaker 2: you that. So if you go back and not that
- 22:31Speaker 2: I want to do a deep dive on Kyle Tucker,
- 22:32Speaker 2: but if you go back to the last let's see
- 22:36Speaker 2: last forty one games hitting two oh seven, two oh
- 22:41Speaker 2: seven for your Chicago Cubs, who have watched the Milwaukee
- 22:45Speaker 2: Brewers zoom past them and play like the way the
- 22:49Speaker 2: Cubs were supposed to be playing. Who else do we
- 22:52Speaker 2: Let's see page Dan nature Boy, answering the call to
- 22:55Speaker 2: Little Wild, says, the big news. Big news is that
- 23:01Speaker 2: this is the anniversary of the vass A wipeout in Milwaukee.
- 23:06Speaker 2: That Dodgers suck up. David vass that guy who, oh,
- 23:12Speaker 2: by the way, might I said, took a shot at
- 23:14Speaker 2: us to the little shot when I promoted, I sent out,
- 23:17Speaker 2: finally sent out on social media. The promotion, it's you
- 23:22Speaker 2: like that, you're a fan of the art. There the
- 23:24Speaker 2: little art, little cartoon art. Lorrainer approves of the art,
- 23:27Speaker 2: but you can check it out. I screwed up the
- 23:29Speaker 2: date on Twitter, but it's it's right. It is right
- 23:32Speaker 2: on X or not on X on the on Instagram
- 23:35Speaker 2: and Facebook and all that stuff. So there's a little
- 23:37Speaker 2: art and the Mallard meet and greeting. Vessay took a
- 23:40Speaker 2: shot at us, and what did he say? Well, I
- 23:43Speaker 2: don't know whether I need to activate the Mallard militia
- 23:46Speaker 2: or not, but I sent out. He said come out,
- 23:47Speaker 2: and I said who, what, where? When? Why? And all
- 23:49Speaker 2: that stuff? Hang out with us? And Vassay said two words,
- 23:53Speaker 2: hard pass. What he said hard pass? And I of
- 23:57Speaker 2: course responded because I know what he's up to, and
- 24:00Speaker 2: I know on Saturday, I know his schedule. Saturday, Blake
- 24:03Speaker 2: Snell needs breakfast in bed and he needs his laundry
- 24:06Speaker 2: get picked up from the dry cleaner. So I response to, well,
- 24:09Speaker 2: you can't make it because Blake Snell needs his dry
- 24:12Speaker 2: cleaning picked up that afternoon, so you can't. You can't
- 24:14Speaker 2: attend Release the Hounds, all right, listen. If you guys
- 24:17Speaker 2: want to, you know how to track down that Vassay's
- 24:20Speaker 2: the guy. Vassay's the guy in Milwaukee that was was
- 24:26Speaker 2: knocked out by a slide a child's slide playground toy. Yes,
- 24:32Speaker 2: he's such a tough guyssay that a freaking slide A
- 24:36Speaker 2: mascot slides down seven times a night and Vassay had
- 24:41Speaker 2: to go on the injured list because of that. And
- 24:44Speaker 2: he's a Dodger suck off. He's a houseman for the Dodgers.
- 24:47Speaker 2: So if you want to listen, just want to say
- 24:48Speaker 2: hello to him, Remind him, as nature Boy says that
- 24:51Speaker 2: this is the anniversary that this is the date thatss
- 24:55Speaker 2: famously broke his arm running down a slide. Just let
- 25:00Speaker 2: him know. But we are said, the Mallar Meet is
- 25:01Speaker 2: going to be a lot of fun Saturday. We're getting
- 25:03Speaker 2: some more more RSVPs, some legends planning on attending. Also,
- 25:09Speaker 2: some people are self incriminating themselves, which I always get
- 25:13Speaker 2: a kick out of it. What do you mean, well,
- 25:14Speaker 2: they said, well, this is the first life of it.
- 25:16Speaker 2: I don't understand. Why did you not tell me about
- 25:18Speaker 2: this prior?
- 25:19Speaker 6: Oh so they haven't been listening to the show for
- 25:21Speaker 6: the past.
- 25:21Speaker 2: Two weeks exactly. They've not been listening for the last
- 25:23Speaker 2: the better part almost a month now. We've been promoting
- 25:26Speaker 2: the Mallar Meet in Vegas. Now, we were a little
- 25:28Speaker 2: late putting it on social media, but it's not like
- 25:30Speaker 2: we hid the fact like that Bill Miller, that loser
- 25:33Speaker 2: Bill Miller. How many times has Bill Miller been saying, Hey, Malard,
- 25:36Speaker 2: meet and greet Vegas, malle meat and greed.
- 25:38Speaker 7: Right, Apparently we need to say it more like once
- 25:40Speaker 7: every fifteen minutes in case people come in and out
- 25:42Speaker 7: of listening.
- 25:43Speaker 2: I understand people don't pay attention to everything.
- 25:45Speaker 6: But that's not our fault.
- 25:46Speaker 2: Exactly. We have done the promotion. We have done the promote.
- 25:49Speaker 2: It's not official Fox Sports Radio event because that would
- 25:52Speaker 2: require them spending money. So this is just us on
- 25:55Speaker 2: our all. We're going to Vegas, we're gonna hang out
- 25:56Speaker 2: with you, and it's listener, it's crowdsource, it's a grassroots movement.
- 26:01Speaker 6: You and I have both promoted it on our page.
- 26:03Speaker 2: We have that we have promoted it, and there's some
- 26:05Speaker 2: great art there if you want to see a little
- 26:07Speaker 2: cartoon drawing there of the big meet and Greek coming
- 26:10Speaker 2: up on Saturday this Saturday, and so we'll be there.
- 26:14Speaker 2: But hey, we'll have a good time. Whoever's there, we'll
- 26:18Speaker 2: be there. Ryan writes in from southern California. He says,
- 26:22Speaker 2: I am so over baseball. Ryan says he's in San Diego.
- 26:27Speaker 2: Says he's not a pottery famous I'm over baseball. I
- 26:31Speaker 2: guess an Angel family says thanks again, Ardi Marino. What
- 26:34Speaker 2: the hell is going on with Matthew Stafford or? Ryan says, well,
- 26:39Speaker 2: it is interesting to note there are conflicting reports about
- 26:43Speaker 2: Matthew Stafford, and there are some rumblings, unconfirmed rumblings that
- 26:48Speaker 2: something big is going to happen on Monday with Matthew Stafford. Now,
- 26:52Speaker 2: I tried to get my fingers on this. I tried
- 26:56Speaker 2: to figure out exactly what's going on. I failed you.
- 26:58Speaker 2: I have failed you. I will tell you though. It
- 27:03Speaker 2: is interesting to note that over the weekend the Rams
- 27:06Speaker 2: played an exhibition game against the Chargers, and there was
- 27:09Speaker 2: some chatter, very odd chatter about Matthew Stafford. Now Stafford
- 27:14Speaker 2: hasn't practiced all exhibition season, and on Saturday there was
- 27:19Speaker 2: a chatter he was going to work out. He was
- 27:21Speaker 2: expected to work out after he had a setback in
- 27:25Speaker 2: his oh my aching back situation, and the Rams were
- 27:32Speaker 2: asked to comment on whether Stafford worked out on Saturday,
- 27:36Speaker 2: and a spokes hack for the Rams declined to comment
- 27:39Speaker 2: on whether or not Matthew Stafford actually worked out for
- 27:44Speaker 2: the La Rams. Now, why would you decline to comment
- 27:47Speaker 2: on that? A because it didn't happen. B because it
- 27:51Speaker 2: did happen and something terrible happened, there was a setback,
- 27:54Speaker 2: or what would the other option be. I'm trying to
- 27:56Speaker 2: work through this and do a little workshop on this,
- 27:58Speaker 2: So why would you not just say he worked out
- 28:01Speaker 2: or he didn't work out. So the chatter is there's
- 28:04Speaker 2: something else going on with Matthew Stafford and there'll be
- 28:07Speaker 2: some kind of announcement to take because it very easy to say, well,
- 28:09Speaker 2: he worked out, he was fine, We'll see how he recovers,
- 28:12Speaker 2: how his body bounces back and all that stuff. But
- 28:14Speaker 2: they didn't do that, a spokesman, deferring comment to Sean McVay.
- 28:19Speaker 2: McVeigh will meet with reporters later today. There is all
- 28:21Speaker 2: kinds of chatter that the Rams will also engage in
- 28:25Speaker 2: acquiring another quarterback if Stafford is going to be out
- 28:29Speaker 2: for an extended period of time, that the Rams will
- 28:32Speaker 2: go out and acquire one of these available quarterbacks like
- 28:35Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins, someone like that, and just slide slide them in.
- 28:39Speaker 2: Chipping the cues rights. In regarding the top of the
- 28:41Speaker 2: hour mouth of the monologue, he says a plus on
- 28:43Speaker 2: the mal monologue. Players on other teams should understand that collectively,
- 28:49Speaker 2: the Red Sox fan base are very low brow. So
- 28:52Speaker 2: just ignore them, says Chip and the cues. What else
- 28:56Speaker 2: do we have? Let's see page down. Mister irrigation is
- 28:58Speaker 2: obsessed with male cheereerleaders in the NFL. It does seem
- 29:02Speaker 2: like that is a an effort, a concerdered effort by
- 29:04Speaker 2: the NFL. He has many male cheerleaders in the NFL.
- 29:07Speaker 2: I don't know then wanted that, but that's what we got.
- 29:09Speaker 2: A g man in Chicago says great monologue, mister Ben,
- 29:13Speaker 2: I think the stench you were smelling is either that
- 29:17Speaker 2: of the Mary Jeane, your coworker's smoke, or its lead
- 29:20Speaker 2: to lapse stench that is from g mane in Chicago. Well,
- 29:25Speaker 2: whatever it is, it suppears to have gone away. I
- 29:28Speaker 2: do not smell said stench, which tells me it was
- 29:31Speaker 2: something that was in the air. Fergdog says, Please tell
- 29:35Speaker 2: me you aren't going to follow up your Dodger Mallard
- 29:38Speaker 2: monologue with one on the Angels losing two out of
- 29:41Speaker 2: three to the homeless Oakland Sacramento Athletics. I don't think
- 29:47Speaker 2: my weak heart could take it. Yeah, Firg, you don't
- 29:50Speaker 2: have to worry about that. Not on the agenda.
- 29:52Speaker 8: I could have put my life savings down that after
- 29:57Speaker 8: sweeping the Dodgers, the Angels were gonna was this series
- 30:00Speaker 8: to the A's.
- 30:01Speaker 2: I was so confident in that. You should have gone
- 30:04Speaker 2: to bet your money on the on the A's. You
- 30:07Speaker 2: should have gone to you bet your money? What a
- 30:09Speaker 2: joke of it. You could have made some money. They
- 30:11Speaker 2: do get up play the Dodgers, though the Angels coop.
- 30:13Speaker 2: They get fired up to play those they do. They
- 30:16Speaker 2: can't get enough cool. By the way, guys, yes, Lorena.
- 30:19Speaker 7: Next time you decide to coordinate and match outfits, can
- 30:22Speaker 7: you just like let me know so that I can
- 30:24Speaker 7: also match and wear a teal like you?
- 30:26Speaker 2: Guys?
- 30:27Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 30:27Speaker 2: You guys so dark. I can't. I can't see what
- 30:29Speaker 2: he's wearing. I have no idea that it's not intentional.
- 30:32Speaker 6: Speaking of which are we gonna match for this meeting?
- 30:35Speaker 6: I need to know what to win?
- 30:37Speaker 2: No, no, what do you do? No? We did that
- 30:39Speaker 2: in Canada. We did.
- 30:40Speaker 8: We think Canadian textedos for Canada, so so here we
- 30:43Speaker 8: would have poker suits.
- 30:44Speaker 2: No, we would have to do sequence. I'm good y,
- 30:48Speaker 2: I did the suit. No, we did the that was
- 30:52Speaker 2: that was only for Vancouver. When in Canada you wear
- 30:55Speaker 2: the Canadian tuxedo.
- 30:56Speaker 6: Like, I mean, okay, well whatever I wear then.
- 31:00Speaker 2: Well, yeah, it's fine. You know. Then where's something. There'd
- 31:03Speaker 2: be a lot of photos I'll be taking. I'm sure
- 31:05Speaker 2: we'll be hanging out and uh and Big Los already planning.
- 31:08Speaker 2: And I said this on my podcast over the weekend,
- 31:10Speaker 2: but Big Lou reached out, he's gonna take some p
- 31:12Speaker 2: one's there's a UNLV game that afternoon, UNV football game
- 31:17Speaker 2: against We talked. I think we mentioned here too.
- 31:19Speaker 6: Are you going to go Ben?
- 31:20Speaker 2: No, god, no, hell no. But there's a game in
- 31:23Speaker 2: the afternoon and then some of the some of the
- 31:25Speaker 2: guys are gonna be out there hanging out and then
- 31:27Speaker 2: they're gonna that's like the pregame show. Ye'll have fun
- 31:30Speaker 2: with that, and then they're gonna go to the meet
- 31:32Speaker 2: and greet in the afternoon late at meet and greets
- 31:35Speaker 2: late afternoon, So the the logistics don't really work. This
- 31:38Speaker 2: UNLV game starts at like one thirty and are things
- 31:41Speaker 2: at three football games last three hours minimum three hours,
- 31:45Speaker 2: So if you do the math on that, you'd have
- 31:47Speaker 2: to leave maybe at halftime, but then you'd still miss
- 31:49Speaker 2: the beginning of the meet and greet. And you really
- 31:50Speaker 2: want to be there at the start of the meet
- 31:52Speaker 2: and greek. You don't want to be late to the
- 31:53Speaker 2: meet and greet. I mean people do come late, but you.
- 31:55Speaker 6: And then you miss the party and everyone's five drinks.
- 31:58Speaker 2: I'll probably be sleeping right up until two pm. Yeah,

- 32:12Speaker 2: know if that's been confirmed enough. There might be doing
- 32:14Speaker 2: the show. It's it's being efforted. It's being efforted, which
- 32:17Speaker 2: means it will not happen. Every time the company says
- 32:21Speaker 2: something's being efforted, it does not happen. But no, on
