  Speaker 1: in and she says, hey, myself and the great Danny DeVito,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: the guy that picks up the trash there, our friend
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: in Boston, they both said we want to know more
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: about DraftKings. I said, okay. The football season heating up
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: and every week feels bigger with DraftKings. DraftKings now live

  Speaker 1: The crown is yours in, I believe it was Analog Al.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Analog Al, possibly Skyler. Possibly Skyler. They wanted to know
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: about the baseball on TV, and there's no time like October.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: The NLCS is here, streaming live on Fox 1. The back-to-back,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: belly-to-belly World Series champion Dodgers take on the top-seeded Brewers
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: in an NLCS rematch on One series from the World Series.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: You can stream the MLB postseason live on Fox One.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: So our lead this hour from the state of Wisconsin.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: We go to Milwaukee. The early game, they had double
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: barrel action. The baseball playoff game, number two of the NLCS.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: The Dodgers and the Brewers just up the road from
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: the Cheese Castle in Kenosha. It was on Fox. You
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: better watch. Joe Davis, no laryngitis. Some of you wish
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: he had laryngitis. He did not. Joe Davis and John
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Smoltz had the call as L.A. looking to even up
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: the series at 1-1. Did you watch? Were you engaged
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: in this? Perhaps not, but William Contreras, getting her done.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Getting her done. William Contreras of the Milwaukee baseball team
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: hit a tying ding-dong in the fifth inning and singled
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: home the go-ahead run. An inning later, the Brewers adding
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: on some insurance runs late. They defeat the once-proud Dodgers 7-4.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: In the early game on Monday, Game 2 of the
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: NL Championship Series on Fox, the relief pitchers, Dustin May,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: the guy that looks like Carrot Top, Jojo Romero, whoever
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: that is, Abner Uribe, and Aaron Ashby, those pitchers combined.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: To emasculate the Dodger lineup, one of the most pathetic
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: playoff showings I've seen in Dodger history, as those guys
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: combined to retire the final 15 Dodger batters. Embarrassing. Embarrassing.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: The Milwaukee bullpen. They're good. You're supposed to be as good.
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: Embarrassing.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: So the Brewers win 2-0. They lead the two-time defending
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: World Series champion, the reigning champions of the World Series.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: They're the Dodgers' best of seven series, which now heads
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: to La La Land. And that'll be on Wednesday. So
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: no Dodger-Brewers game on Tuesday, even though they could easily
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: play the game. They travel all the time. It's not
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: that big a deal. But they have a day off.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: So that means we're going to have one game to
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: watch baseball-wise. Cleveland and Tampa. You've been punished. Anyway, so
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers and Brewers will wait till Wednesday. The better
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: story is in the losing locker room. So that is
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: where we will begin in a good jumping off point.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: The Dodgers, let's go wide angle lens here, wide angle lens.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: So as we discussed the question, who gets the blame
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: street taco, right? For Dave Roberts, Dodgers losing game two
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: to the Milwaukee baseball team. So I've got captain's chair,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Wayne Gretzky, and instructional manual. And we will combine all
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: of these things together. And we are going to put
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: the biscuit in the basket is what we're going to do.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: So we always start out with number one. Number one.
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: One, one, one, one, one.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: Number one.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: I said one.
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: Number one.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: So I'm actually going to start on the mound. As
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: embarrassing as the Dodger offense is, I feel like the
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: story to me was on the mound. And I played
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: a role in this. Some of you have pointed that
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: out to me. You a-holes who email me all the
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: time and I don't write back. So let me explain.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: So I'm going to start with the mound because I
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: feel like that's the story. The Dodgers anticipated, I would
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: go as far as to say expected, a masterpiece of
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: On the mound. What they received was a finger painting
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: from a child. That's what they got. There's really no
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: other way to say it. This was supposed to be
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: guaranteed win day for Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the mound. It's
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: the one name that you circle there. And you say,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: that's going to be a win. Permanent marker. I'm going
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: to circle that. That's a win. And instead, he went
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: from Mr. October, which is what Yoshinobu Yamamoto had been, Mr. Reliable, Dependable, Mr. October,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: to Mr. Softy in less than three innings. What was that?
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: That was terrible. Absolutely terrible. Just two and two-thirds innings.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: 75 pitches! 75 pitches for Yamamoto in two and two-thirds innings.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: He got a nice early shower. Job not done. Job
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: not done. Here is Dave Roberts commenting on Yamamoto and
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: how bad he was.
• 8:00
  Speaker 6: Obviously wasn't sharp.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: You think?
• 8:03
  Speaker 6: Just wasn't sharp today.
• 8:04
  Speaker 7: You think?
• 8:04
  Speaker 8: You can see from that contrarious at-bat in the third inning,
• 8:08
  Speaker 8: that really stressed him.
• 8:09
  Speaker 6: Then you follow that up with the powers at-bat.
• 8:12
  Speaker 8: At that point in time, once the breaking ball, Tienk's
• 8:14
  Speaker 8: the breaker, Yelich gets a hit, we've got to find
• 8:16
  Speaker 8: a way to put it out.
• 8:17
  Speaker 6: But tonight, he just didn't have it tonight, which is
• 8:19
  Speaker 6: very rare.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: It's actually an afternoon game. At least Dave Roberts didn't
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: say I liked him in that spot, so that's a
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: step in the right direction. 75 pitches to get eight outs.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: 75 effing pitches to get eight outs.
• 8:33
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Yamamoto. Now, he did get to sit in the captain's
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: chair tonight. He was flying the Vomit Comet. He had
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: the seatbelt fastened right there. Barf bag had been deployed.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: Turbulence over Wisconsin. God, unbelievable. That is wild. 75 pitches
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: for eight outs. That is a Vomit Comet performance for Yamamoto.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: And the whammy was sitting on his shoulder. Like a
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: 400-pound wild beast eating cheese curds. Saying, what are you
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: looking at? Well, I don't understand. He went down to
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: the haberdashery, Yamamoto, and he got fitted for a seat
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: for choke. Right there, put that on the jacket there.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: That was a choke job. And as far as the
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: way that I played a role in this, some of
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: you have pointed out that I had put the whammy
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: on Yamamoto. In a previous episode of the show, we
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: delivered a Mallard monologue pointing out how Yamamoto was the
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: anti-Clayton Kershaw. That this is a guy, unlike Kershaw, who
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: caused Dodger fans heartburn and cost the franchise at least
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: two World Series because of his incompetence in the postseason.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Yamamoto is the antithesis of that. That he's not that guy.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: And then immediately the baseball gods sent us an invoice
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: and said, not so fast, my friend. And it was
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: an express delivery, vintage Clayton Kershaw, October clunker. In fact,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: if I put the stat line in front of you
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: and I said, is that Kershaw or Yamamoto? You'd say, well,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: that's Kershaw. Well, no, no, it was Yamamoto. doing a
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: cosplay of Clayton Kershaw at the worst possible time. Now,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: keeping the beat going, the Dodgers find themselves down two
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: games to none, and the problems are all over the place.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: Here's Dave Roberts commenting on the fact that the Milwaukee lineup,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: which pales in comparison in terms of name brand value
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: to the Dodgers lineup, but they actually have to play
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: the games, and the Brewers hitters, well, they're just apparently better.
• 10:41
  Speaker 8: I think for me, just in total, they saw a
• 10:44
  Speaker 8: ton more pitches than we did. They had much better
• 10:47
  Speaker 8: at bats than we did across the board, top to bottom.
• 10:50
  Speaker 8: And then they put the ball in play, created havoc,
• 10:54
  Speaker 8: and that's what they do.
• 10:55
  Speaker 6: And we didn't do that. And so that's the difference
• 10:58
  Speaker 6: in the game.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: The Dodgers really never do that. Let's be real here.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: That's not the way they play baseball. They just sit
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: around like every modern team run by nerds. Let's just
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: hit as many home runs as we can. And if
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: we hit more home runs than the other team, we're
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: going to win the game. That's the Dodger way of
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: playing baseball. It's worked out pretty well. They've won a lot.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: A lot of championships here. This is the dominant team
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: in professional baseball. That's just the way they play. So
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: let's not pretend like they can play any other way.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: That's all they can do. Now, the Dodgers are down
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: two games to none. Freddie Freeman, the series is over, right?
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: The series is all over, Freddie Freeman.
• 11:32
  Speaker 9: Now we've got Blake and Glasgow. Still a pretty good
• 11:35
  Speaker 9: scenario we're in. We're just going to Hit better on Wednesday.
• 11:39
  Speaker 9: It's going to be a great series. They know they've
• 11:41
  Speaker 9: got a lot on their hands, too. We're just going
• 11:42
  Speaker 9: to come out here on Wednesday and play better. I mean,
• 11:44
  Speaker 9: it's hard to win games when you only get three hits,
• 11:45
  Speaker 9: so regroup tomorrow and go get them on Wednesday.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Sounds like he's mumbling. Everything okay, Freddie?
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, you also had Tarek Skubal and Yamamoto,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: and you lost both those games. So, why would we depend?
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: Blake Snell's going to go, what, four and a third innings?
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: If you're lucky? He's a loser.
• 12:05
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Anyway, let's ask the question. Are the Dave Roberts Dodgers
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: in serious trouble? Or is everyone overreacting after a couple
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: of losses on the road in the playoffs here? So,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: this team has issues. there's really no other way around it.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: They clearly have some issues here. The Brewers are beating
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers, and they're not doing it with smoke and mirrors.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: This is not some kind of one-off where you say
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: it's not sustainable. The Dodgers are losing these games to Milwaukee,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: and Milwaukee's winning because of Well-timed singles here, situational hitting,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: hitting behind runners. The fundamentals, which are not nerd-approved. They
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: are not. You're not supposed to play that way. The
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: Brewers are playing that way, and they've always played that
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: way in recent years, and it's worked out pretty well
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: for them. The bullpen for Milwaukee turned into Fort Knox.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: And meanwhile, the Dodgers, they roll out a line. I
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: was thinking about this watching the Dodgers attempt to score runs.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: And you look at the Dodger lineup. And it costs
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: more than the GDP of many small island nations that
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: are out there in the Pacific and the Atlantic. They
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: spend a lot of money in that lineup. And yet,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: the way they're hitting right now, they might as well
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: go up there with a nice pool noodle and see
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: what you can do. They look like a bunch of
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: zombies out there. And you're not going against the creme
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: de la creme. If I said, hey, you got to
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: be really worried here because of Jojo Romero, Journeyman Dustin May,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: who looks like Carrot Top, Abner Uribe, and Aaron Ashby.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: You'd be like, what? Scared of that? What are we doing?
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: So it's more about the Dodgers approach than anything. They
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: look like zombies. That's the word I keep going back to,
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: zombies there. It's getting a little toasty. On the Maller
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: scale of panic, the Maller scale of panic for the
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: D-O-D-G-E-R-S Dodgers, on a scale of 1 to 10, we
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: are sitting at a solid 7 for the Dodgers. Now,
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: some of you seem to think the series is already over.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: It is not. I'm here to report it is not
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: a best of three. So, Just because the Brewers have
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: won two, that does not mean the Dodgers are now eliminated,
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: even though you want that to happen. The Dodgers have
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: been exposed. I think we can say that. Talent is great.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: The names on the back of the uniform are freaking wonderful. Unfortunately,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: you still have to play the games, which is problematic
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: at this point. And right now, you could bring in
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: NHL commentator Wayne Gretzky. Terrible TV commentator Wayne Gretzky. You
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: could bring Gretzky in, and Wayne Gretzky would tell you,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: the boys in blue... are playing NHL hockey. What do
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: I mean by that? The Dodgers lineup has not one
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: but two men in the penalty box, and really three.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: But I'll go with the two to make the point.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: Shohei Otani and Will Smith, the fresh prince of back
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: to the bench because you just made it out. So
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: those two guys are serving two-minute minor penalties, and it's
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: dragged on now for several playoff games. Tommy Tanks not
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: exactly getting the world, the game done there. He's had
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: his issues. He's not performing. So the question now, there's
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: some whispers that were clearly leaked by the Dodger people.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: Everyone knows Otani's been terrible. He's the franchise. He's the moneymaker.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: He's the cash cow for the Dodgers. They've made so
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: much money from the people of Japan off Otani. They
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: feel like they have to leave him in the lineup.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: And so there's this story that was leaked from somebody
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: with the Dodgers to the beat guys saying, hey, we
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: might bench Ohtani for game three. That's the whispers that
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: the front office is debating benching Ohtani. So do the
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: Dodgers have the baseballs to do it? I don't buy
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: it for a second. I don't. Since August 19th, Otani
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: has no home runs. He is an automatic out at
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: this point. Nobody's afraid of Otani right now. Will they
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: be afraid of him next year? Probably. They're not afraid
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: of him right now. He's earned a benching. The contract
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: and the amount of endorsement money and money the Dodgers
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: have made off him make it highly unlikely they will
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: actually do it. I hope I'm wrong. He does deserve
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: to be benched. He is causing the Dodgers to play
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: shorthanded when he's out there. He's just not very good
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: right now at baseball, which seems to be problematic. All right, now,
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: final point to the Milwaukee side of things. So how
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: are things looking for Pat Murphy's brew crew? Well, obviously,
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: it's looking pretty good. Sunny days. Sunny days. Don't get
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: too many of those in Milwaukee, but sunny days for
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: the Brew Crew. It has been a paint-by-numbers situation. Paint-by-numbers situation.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: The Brew Crew have followed the instruction manual to a T.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: Perfection so far for Milwaukee. We mentioned they're not afraid
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: of Otani. They're not. They don't pitch around him. They
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: want Otani. This is how bad Otani is. The other
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: team wants him up. They know they can get him out.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: They know they can get him out. There's no decoy,
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: no fear factor with Otani. The Brewers are like, hey, listen,
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: we'll put any one of our pitchers out there and
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: we'll get this guy out. That's it. And so that's
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: where we are. The fear factor is completely gone with Otani.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: The Brewers are loving it. And they've turned the Dodgers'
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: supposedly dominant starting pitching, Tarek Skubal, all those accolades, all
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: those awards, and Yamamoto, the first two games. And these
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: guys have been Jags. Not Jacksonville Jags, just a guy.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: And just a guy. And the Milwaukee Bullpen, big numbers,
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: great stats, all that stuff. They go in there throwing
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: darts and a bunch of no-names and a bunch of
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: chain-smoking hustlers at an Irish pub, and they're getting it done.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: Absolutely getting it done, and everything's coming up cheese curds
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: right now for the Milwaukee baseball team. But I would
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: tell you to hold the champagne just yet. As bleak
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: as things look for the Dodgers, and as good as
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: Milwaukee looks, the good news is there is no such
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: thing as momentum. Otherwise, the Padres would have gotten to
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: this point. You all told me they had all the
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: momentum and won all those games at the end of
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: the season. But there is no such thing as momentum,
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: so it doesn't really matter. The Brewers have won a
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: couple games, and that's great and wonderful and all that stuff.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: But as the old baseball proverb goes, a playoff series
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: does not start until somebody wins on the road. For example,
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: the ALCS has started because the Cleveland, used to be
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: called Indians, won a game on the road. So that
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: has begun that series. Milwaukee has yet to win on
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: the road. So now comes a business trip to La
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: La Land. And the Brewers, good luck. Maybe they'll have
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: some success down your skid row there. Win one at
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: Dodger Stadium. You win one at Dodger Stadium, and then
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: you can start taking the champagne out of the ice bucket.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: Just win one game at Dodger Stadium. And the Dodgers
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: are up against it. They are up. up against it.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: Until then, though, Pat Murphy, who we like, the Brewers manager,
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: he's still got to get those two wins. And then
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: he gets the boarding pass to the World Series. So
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: some unfinished business here. Things are going well right now.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: Let's not get too carried away with this. Too carried
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: away with this. All right, here's the Ben Maler show.
• 20:10

• 20:32
  Speaker 1: done that yet. It's... Bad job.
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: Making efforts.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: By him. Every week we hear the same thing. I
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: can go down the street and buy weed down the

  Speaker 1: you in the court of a sports radio. Fargo Pete
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: writes in and says, Hey, Ben, how many of those
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: famous Dodgers superstars signed autographs this weekend in Milwaukee? I'm
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: going to go with the same amount as wins they got.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: That would be zero from Fargo Pete. I don't know
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: about that. Dodgers are heavily... insulated from the great unwashed
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: they have their own plane which is probably the dumbest
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: thing i've ever seen like every team flies charter the
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: dodgers though those players are such divas they can't be
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: around the unwashed they can't even be around the support
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: staff the support staff has to fly their own plane
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: and the dodger players have their own plane tell me
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: you're an a-hole without telling me you're an a-hole jill
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: in minnesota writes in she says i thought i was
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: just listening to Aaron Boone postgame. I'm telling you, Joe,
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: I've been saying this for years. Dave Roberts and Aaron
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: Boone are the same. They just do whatever they're told
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: from management. They're middle managers. They deal with the media
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: and they say the same bull crap all the time.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: That's it. Mark, the full name guy, is dying on
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: the mountain that the Rams kicker did not lose the game,
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: even though. He did, but it's an interesting position, Mark.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: You're the only one that has that position. Bad job
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: by you. Chip in the Qs writes in, says A-plus
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: on the monologue. The Dodgers really needed to take either
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: game one or two. They obviously will be in serious
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: trouble should they lose game three down 0-3 against a
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: team like Milwaukee. a recipe for disaster. Well, game two
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: was the one to get. Yamamoto had been the guy
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: and he wasn't the guy. And you figure you're not
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: going to beat the Miz. He's really good. Even though
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: he was beatable. The Miz was not wonderful in his
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: performance for the Brewers. The recipe for Milwaukee, just win
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: when Mizorowski's on the mound and then win one other game. Well,
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: they've already won the one other game. They've won one
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: of the Miz starts. Now they just have to win
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: the other two starts from Mizorowski and they win the
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: National League pennant. And that's it. That's how that goes.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: All right. Let's say hello to, well, Weedman's here. So
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: our friend Billy from Hollywood, Florida. Hello, Billy. Welcome.
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: Hey, Ben.
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: How are you?
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: Well, if I was any better, I'd be a kicker,
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: but not the Rams kicker because the thicker kicker missed it. Oh, Weedman.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: What's going on with you, Weedman? What are you up to?
• 24:56
  Speaker 5: Let's save the world. Let's make it better. Let's get
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: rid of war and poverty and everything bad in the world.
• 25:05
  Speaker 5: What's going on?
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: All right, let's do that. We'll take a call. Let's go.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: Andrew in Bakersfield.
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: Hello, Andrew.
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: Welcome. Hey, Andrew. Hey, Weed Man.
• 25:15
  Speaker 7: I don't know what to do now. I had comments
• 25:17
  Speaker 7: on the Dodgers. I'll ask you, Weed Man, my question
• 25:20
  Speaker 7: from last week.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: Well, wait a minute. Hold on a second. Give a question.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: You can give a comment on the Dodgers.
• 25:25
  Speaker 5: If you want.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's going to be a terrible take.
• 25:29
  Speaker 7: I got quite a bit to say, but maybe what
• 25:32
  Speaker 7: I saw was a lack of trust in each other.
• 25:35
  Speaker 7: And I can give examples, but I'm going to ask
• 25:38
  Speaker 7: Weed Man my question from Mark.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: Now, you said you saw that, but you've also told
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: us you're blind. It's figurative, Ben. Come on now. Just
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: for the record. I want to point that out.
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: What's up, Andy?
• 25:52
  Speaker 7: Hey, so my question is, have you ever read the Bible?
• 25:57
  Speaker 7: And if so, do you have a favorite section?
• 25:59
  Speaker 10: Thanks, guys.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: I think, Weedman, if you're around a Bible, you'd be
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: hit by lightning.
• 26:04
  Speaker 5: No, I'm not a Bible reading person. Not at all.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: When's the last time you read a book?
• 26:18
  Speaker 5: You know, there are Seth books.
• 26:24
  Speaker 10: What?
• 26:25
  Speaker 5: Seth spoke through a woman named Jane Roberts, and he
• 26:31
  Speaker 5: came from another world, and he spoke through Jane Roberts, and.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: He wrote all kinds of books. I have no idea
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: what you're talking about. Jane Roberts?
• 26:43
  Speaker 5: I don't know. Yes, Seth speaks. The Magical Approach to Life.
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: They were really great books.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: All right. I don't know what that is. Is that
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: like the Tom Cruise thing or something like that?
• 26:56
  Speaker 5: No, no, no, no.
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: This is a spirit speaking through a woman.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: Interesting. Ferg Dogg writes in and says, do you think,
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: Weed Man, the Dodgers need to bench Otani or call
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: an exorcist and remove... Oh, absolutely.
• 27:15
  Speaker 5: What are you kidding? The Dodgers just have to win
• 27:19
  Speaker 5: one game, do this next game. If they win this
• 27:21
  Speaker 5: next game, they're much better. Two to one is not
• 27:26
  Speaker 5: three to all.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: I got you.
• 27:27
  Speaker 5: You know, two to one, you go two to three,
• 27:29
  Speaker 5: you could win the series. So just take it easy, guys.
• 27:33
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: Well, here's another question. Great advice, Weedman. King Rory writes
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: in from Wisconsin. He says, which ocean should President Trump
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: rename after him, the Atlantic or the Pacific?
• 27:44
  Speaker 5: I can't believe Donald Trump is president.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: He's been president twice. He's been president twice.
• 27:53
  Speaker 5: I know. We used to go to his casinos in
• 27:56
  Speaker 5: Atlantic City.
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's crazy.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: I know, I know, I know. How about the, I
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: think the Atlantic, because Trump's always been an East Coast guy,
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: so you've got to go Atlantic on that, right? Trump Ocean. Yeah,
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: Trump Ocean.
• 28:10
  Speaker 5: Wow. Wow. Can you do that?
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: Probably just to piss people off. Nada writes in and says, Mr.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: Weed Man, she works it over at LAX.
• 28:20
  Speaker 5: Hi, Nada.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: She says, Mr. Weed Man, what are your thoughts on
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: the discovery of the furthest galaxy from our planet around
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: 13.5 billion light years from Earth?
• 28:31
  Speaker 5: Billion light years. You know, a light year is however
• 28:36
  Speaker 5: distance light travels in one year. It can't be that far.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: She also says, Ben, Dodgers use a VIP configured 757.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: It only sits 55 people. Not enough seats for all
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: the staff. That's why they use a 777. That's by design, Nada.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: I know she works at LAX, but she knows. But
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: that's by design. Every other team in professional sports, every
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: other team in professional sports, it's one plane. There are
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: some teams that actually have to, when they fly from
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: the East Coast to the West Coast, we've been, they
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: actually have to stop at like Kansas City or Chicago
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: to refuel because the plane can't, they can't even make
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: it across the country without refueling. And the Dodgers, they
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: can go, they can fly to Australia or whatever without refueling.
• 29:21
  Speaker 5: They have their own private plane.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: How crazy is that? Everyone's got a private plane. They
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: got two private planes though. Ferg Dog writes in... Oh, no,
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: we already used that one.
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: I just looked up this book that Weed Man said
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: was the last book that he read.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: Yes, Coop.
• 29:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: I was published in 1972.
• 29:37
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: And it is a foundational new age metaphysical book. And
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: apparently it began via a Ouija board session in 1963.
• 29:54
  Speaker 6: Oh, boy.
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: Evolving into the author, Jane Roberts, entering a trance state
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: and speaking directly as Seth.
• 30:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I love this.
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: Oh, you've got to read these books.
• 30:10
  Speaker 5: These are amazing books.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: I'll bet you the kids today don't even know what
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: a Ouija board is. You're probably right.
• 30:17
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: Like, when I was in school, that was, like, a
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: big thing in junior high school, Ouija boards, you know,
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: and all that. But I bet you the kids today
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: are like, what are.
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: You, stupid?
• 30:25
  Speaker 5: You guys, you guys, today's Ouija board is AI.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: Oh, there you go. That's Lisa, by the way. That's Lisa,
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: Weed Man and Lisa, the power couple here.
• 30:34
  Speaker 10: It's like.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: It's like we.
• 30:36
  Speaker 8: Had the eight ball, the Ouija board, and now it's AI.
• 30:39
  Speaker 5: Yes. Ask a question. There you go.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: It'll answer anything. Analog Al writes in, Weed Man says,
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: which store has the best shopping carts?
• 30:49
  Speaker 5: Publix.
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: Publix. He had to stop and think about it. He's like,
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: I've been through all that. Absolutely. Now, there's no Piggly
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: Wigglies in Miami, right, in that area?
• 31:01
  Speaker 5: No, no, no.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: I love, that's my favorite grocery store. They've got the
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: pig mascot there, like Porky the Pig, Piggly Wiggly. That's
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: my favorite grocery store. Kev Atomic writes in from Alaska.
• 31:11
  Speaker 5: Alaska, wow.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: Far away from you, weed man. Says, which NFL quarterback
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: smoked the most weed during his career?
• 31:20
  Speaker 5: Tell me. Which one?
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: Well, he thinks it's Mark Rippin. OJ. No, he thinks
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: Mark Rippin.
• 31:26
  Speaker 5: OJ.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: Well, OJ made people into Pez dispensers, but I don't
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: know about that.
• 31:29
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: Bozo, the district attorney, writes in.
• 31:32
  Speaker 5: Bozo. That's so funny.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: It's a groundhog day. Bozo said, you said last week
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: you believed in UFOs. If an alien offered you a
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: free ride to their planet, but you could never come
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: back to Earth, would you go, Weed Man?
• 31:51
  Speaker 5: Not if I can never come back to Earth, but
• 31:53
  Speaker 5: I would certainly like to go up on an alien spaceship.
• 31:56
  Speaker 5: That'd be great.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: Alf?
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: Yes?
• 32:00
  Speaker 5: These aliens come here from so far away. We can't
• 32:05
  Speaker 5: get anywhere near them, but they must be so more
• 32:07
  Speaker 5: advanced than we are.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: Now, there is a theory we meant that they don't
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: actually come from far away, that they live in the oceans,
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: at the bottom of the oceans. How about that? Well,
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: a lot of these things are flying out of the ocean,
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: so I don't want to go full coast-to-coast on you. Well,
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: then they wouldn't be aliens. Well, they're unidentified species. Well,
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: they're unidentified to us. It could be... Didn't they change
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: the name of UFO anyway? They call it something else, right?
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: They call it... I forget what they call it.
• 32:37
  Speaker 9: Yeah, uh.
• 32:39
  Speaker 5: Well, but I'm talking about ships that come from way
• 32:45
  Speaker 5: out of Dallas.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: I know, but what if they're just at the bottom
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: of the ocean and they just fly out and they
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: monitor us?
• 32:53
  Speaker 6: No?
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: All right, Al.
• 32:55
  Speaker 5: All right, you don't want.
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: To believe me.

  Speaker 5: What? Then they don't prove you shit.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: Well, who knows how they breathe?

  Speaker 5: That would be Aquaman.
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like Aquaman. Alfie Alien O'Piner writes in from in

  Speaker 1: between Springfield and Worcester. And in the Commonwealth says, Billy,

  Speaker 1: there are 168 hours in a week and you don't sleep.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: Ben is on for.

  Speaker 1: He says Ben is on for 20 hours Monday through
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: Friday and about a couple hours on the weekend podcast.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: Why don't you give him a listen? Fair point. What
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: are you talking about? You don't listen. You call the show,
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: but you're not a listener. You don't actually sit and listen.
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: You've admitted that.
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: He does. No, no.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: He's a listener. He's not a listener. Of course I am.
• 33:49
  Speaker 5: No, no.
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: But you don't listen. You call in, but you don't...
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: If we hang up on you, you're not going to
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: turn on the show and listen, right?
• 33:58
  Speaker 5: No, he does listen.
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: Yes, I am. Can I ask you three questions about
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: the show to see how knowledgeable you are about the show?
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: This is their way of saying they don't listen, but
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: they want to. Yeah, I got you.
• 34:14
  Speaker 10: All right.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: Well, the answer is.
• 34:17
  Speaker 5: No.
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: Oh, you want to be on the mailbag thing? I
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: don't know. I'll dial you up at some point here.
• 34:24
  Speaker 5: Who knows?
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Not Blind Austin, who's in Bakersfield, California,
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: writes in on Ask a Weedman. He says, what's the
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: difference between the thicker kicker and Cameron Dicker, the charger kicker?
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: There you go. What? The Rams kicker's name, the thicker kicker,
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: he's going to lose his job, but then they have
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: Cameron Dicker, the charger kicker. He says, nothing, they both
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: kick balls for terrible teams in L.A. That's from... Not
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: blind Austin. There you go. All right. The juice writes
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: in randomly, he says, and I thought I'd comment that
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: Reggie Bush probably smoked the most weed. That's from the juice.
• 35:08
  Speaker 5: Reggie Bush, there you go.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: All right. Shane in Des Moines says, does weed man
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: break down major trades in sports? Like the Penguins-Buffalo Sabre Street.
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: Do you want to break down a hockey trade?
• 35:22
  Speaker 5: Wow, not hockey. I don't watch hockey.
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: You don't watch hockey?
• 35:25
  Speaker 5: No?
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 35:26
  Speaker 6: No.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: Why not?
• 35:27
  Speaker 5: I don't know anything about the hockey. I don't like hockey.
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: Hockey's cool to go to. It's not great to watch
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: on TV. All right, here we go. Last one, Weed Man.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: Mike writes in. He says, a pancake mix company is
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: giving customers a reason to put down their phones at
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: breakfast with a new product. And they say that they
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: want you to lock away your phone in exchange for
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: a year's worth of pancakes. Would you be willing to
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: do that, Weed Man?
• 35:59
  Speaker 5: What does that mean? Not use my phone for a year?
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: They say they've made a phone safe, a pancake pause
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: box designed to keep devices out of reach while you
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: eat your pancakes.
• 36:12
  Speaker 5: Oh, just while I eat my pancakes? Of course I would.
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. Because you'd have to make the pancakes so that
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: you don't cook. But still, all.
• 36:22
  Speaker 5: I've got to do is not eat my pancakes.
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: Pancakes are pretty easy to make. You just make the batter.
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: All right. We'll leave it there. Thank you, Weed Man
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: and Lisa.
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: Be well, you two.
• 36:34
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: I'll see what I can do. Maybe I'll call you
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: before then. Who knows? I don't know. Get out of here.

• 38:44
  Speaker 1: you have an answer, Lorena? Elvis Presley. Is it Elvis Presley? No,
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: that is incorrect. The correct answer, the legendary Sandy Alomar Jr.
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: of the 1997 Cleveland Indians in the ALCS.
• 39:00
  Speaker 5: Here we go. It's Miller.

  Speaker 1: How about that? To the third degree.
• 39:04
  Speaker 6: Are you ready?
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: This is when Big Ben gets grilled.
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: All right, Koopaloo.
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: The Arizona Cardinals ended up getting a second round pick
• 39:13
  Speaker 4: from the Texans for Marvin Harrison Jr., which has many
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: calling out Houston on social media. Ben, is this one
• 39:18
  Speaker 4: of the worst trades of all time?
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: Calling out Houston or Arizona?
• 39:22
  Speaker 5: Houston.
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: For giving a second round pick? No, I mean, it's
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: not the worst trade of all time. He's not going
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: to do anything. We're going to talk more about this
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: actually next hour. He's not going to do much. Who cares?
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: I don't care about draft picks. You're asking the wrong guy.
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: I would trade all. I'd be Mike Ditka and trade
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: all my draft picks. I don't care about draft picks. Next.
• 39:42
  Speaker 4: All I've heard since the Patriots beat up on the
• 39:43
  Speaker 4: Raiders is that Drake May is back.
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 39:46
  Speaker 4: Looking like he's one of the best quarterbacks in the
• 39:47
  Speaker 4: NFL again. Ben, do you think this will serve as
• 39:50
  Speaker 4: a get-right game for May? It's a good confidence booster
• 39:53
  Speaker 4: for Drake May. They ran up the score on the Raiders.
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: It's always nice to beat up a tomato can like
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: the pathetic Raiders, but we'll see how he does when
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: they play a real good team. The Raiders are not that.
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: Next!
• 40:03
  Speaker 4: Brock Purdy is on pace to have his best NFL
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: season yet, and he has the 49ers off to a
• 40:07
  Speaker 4: 5-0 start. Can we officially say that Purdy has proven
• 40:10
  Speaker 4: the doubters wrong at this point?
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: No, because he's not a good playoff quarterback. He's been
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: fine in the regular season. He sucks in the playoffs.
• 40:16
  Speaker 5: You remember?
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: You forget about that. How did we do, Kubo? He passed.
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: That is a win. Put it on the bar!
