0:00
Speaker 1: Ding dong. It's our number three. That's baseball, Susan. How
0:05
Speaker 1: worried should the Dodgers be with Shohei Otani's slump? We'll
0:09
Speaker 1: talk about that here on the Ben Maller Show. Also
0:12
Speaker 1: more embarrassing, center fielder Cole Carriage middle finger to Braves
0:17
Speaker 1: fans or Colorado calling it a two-day punishment and using
0:22
Speaker 1: him the next afternoon. A very odd story there. Also,
0:26
Speaker 1: is the influencer invasion at the U.S. Open a blight
0:30
Speaker 1: on the tennis event or simply a sign of the times,
0:34
Speaker 1: the time Tennis snobs complaining about that.
0:37
Speaker 2: We'll go there as well. Settle in. It's our number three.
0:42
Speaker 1: Suffering from the blue flu, or is it something else?
0:46
Speaker 1: Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben
0:53

1:00
Speaker 1: sisters in sports talk everywhere. As we are the audiobook page-turner, coast-to-coast, border-to-border,

1:14
Speaker 1: FSR emanating live from the shop. Unlike that alien beef
1:21
Speaker 1: jerky place, we don't close.
1:23
Speaker 2: No, no, no.
1:24
Speaker 1: The sweatshop of sports talk is open all night. Guaranteed human.
1:28
Speaker 1: I'm the world-famous... Fox Sports Radio Studios, where our friend, Jerry,
1:37
Speaker 1: and wrote on.
1:37
Speaker 2: She was at the Worcester meet and greet we did there.
1:40
Speaker 3: Lovely.
1:41
Speaker 1: Jerry, Yankee fan Jill in Minnesota, Kathy in Madison, they
1:45
Speaker 1: all agree with Blind Seabass that the Ben Maller Show
1:48
Speaker 1: is a show, and it really is about that express.

2:12
Speaker 1: at it. And our lead this hour. Don't bury the lead,
2:15
Speaker 1: my man. Our lead this hour from Major League Baseball
2:19
Speaker 1: as we are in the final.
2:21
Speaker 2: Day of August.
2:23
Speaker 1: And down the stretch we come as we can almost
2:26
Speaker 1: see the calendar flipping here. The witching hour tonight. And
2:30
Speaker 1: then we'll be on to September. So our lead this hour, though.
2:34
Speaker 1: is from Dodgers Stadium, the boys in blue. So Shohei
2:40
Speaker 1: Otani has not been good at baseball for the last
2:45
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, if not longer than that. He's been
2:49
Speaker 1: in the old slumperoo, a major downer for the Dodgers,
2:55
Speaker 1: and a big-time problem if you had Otani winning the
2:57
Speaker 1: Most Valuable Player Award. The Dodgers offense also would like
3:03
Speaker 1: Otani to step it up as it's not going well.
3:06
Speaker 1: So if you've not been following, and perhaps not, the
3:09
Speaker 1: Dodgers have been okay beating up tomato cans. However, when
3:13
Speaker 1: they've had to participate against better teams, it has not
3:16
Speaker 1: gone well. They got smoked by the Atlanta Braves earlier
3:19
Speaker 1: in the week and had a pretty humdrum weekend series
3:23
Speaker 1: with the Tigers offense optional.
3:25
Speaker 2: But Otani....
3:27
Speaker 1: Entering Sunday, Shohei Otani, the face of baseball, was hitting
3:30
Speaker 1: a buck 74 with a 529 on-base plus slugging percentage
3:36
Speaker 1: the previous 12 games. Striking out 17 times in 46 at-bats.
3:40
Speaker 2: So that's basically two weeks.
3:42
Speaker 1: Now, Otani went out against Detroit on Sunday and had
3:45
Speaker 1: five at-bats. He went 0 for 5, which I don't
3:48
Speaker 1: think is good. I don't think that's good. I didn't
3:50
Speaker 1: play Major League Baseball.
3:51
Speaker 2: I don't think that's good.
3:52
Speaker 1: Two strikeouts against the Detroit Tigers. pitching staff what's left
3:57
Speaker 1: of it his power otani's power has disappeared he hasn't
4:00
Speaker 1: been on the mound much at all for a while
4:04
Speaker 1: and so no power that's gone away zero home runs
4:09
Speaker 1: only three extra base hits over the last now 13
4:14
Speaker 1: games you combine that freddie freeman not hitting the long
4:17
Speaker 1: ball And it's a mess. It's a hot mess for
4:21
Speaker 1: the Dodgers. And that is a good jumping off point.
4:24
Speaker 1: Let us discuss the question.
4:25
Speaker 2: How worried?
4:27
Speaker 1: How worried should the Dodgers be about Shohei Ohtani? Is
4:30
Speaker 1: this just a slump? Or is it something more than that?
4:34
Speaker 1: So I've got pit stop, Mount Morality, and tumbleweed. And
4:40
Speaker 1: we will combine all of these things together and we
4:42
Speaker 1: are going to go Cowabunga dude is.
4:46
Speaker 2: What we're going to do. Cowabunga dude.
4:48
Speaker 1: So to answer the question of how worried the Dodgers
4:52
Speaker 1: should be about Otani and whether this is just a
4:55
Speaker 1: slump or something more than that, this is the double whammy.
5:00
Speaker 1: It's the double whammy. So you've got Otani who is
5:03
Speaker 1: not just now trailing. the Cubs' Pete Crow Armstrong in
5:08
Speaker 1: the MVP race, the entire Dodger offense, the entire offense
5:14
Speaker 1: has degenerated into pure mid- without the big bopper bat there,
5:20
Speaker 1: without Otani performing like Otani. Now, there is still time
5:24
Speaker 1: to close the gap again. Otani is supposed to become
5:27
Speaker 1: a regular in a six-man Dodger rotation again, and if
5:31
Speaker 1: he's able to pitch effectively and get wins and then
5:34
Speaker 1: start hitting home runs, coinciding with the inevitable slump from
5:38
Speaker 1: Pete Crow Armstrong, there's still plenty of time for Otani
5:41
Speaker 1: to get back. It's not looking good right now. The
5:45
Speaker 1: MVP race in the National League at this moment for
5:49
Speaker 1: Otani is officially on the back burner.
5:52
Speaker 2: It just is.
5:52
Speaker 1: And what Shohei needs, based on watching him spin the
5:57
Speaker 1: bat around like he didn't know what he was doing.
5:59
Speaker 1: And it's certainly been that way for a couple weeks
6:01
Speaker 1: here for Otani. So what he needs is not a
6:03
Speaker 1: batting coach. Not a batting coach. He needs not one,
6:07
Speaker 1: not two, not three, not four, five quarts of synthetic
6:11
Speaker 1: blend with a fresh oil filter is what Otani needs.
6:16
Speaker 1: I'm talking about the man needs to make a pit
6:18
Speaker 1: stop at the Valvoline instant oil change. Go in there
6:22
Speaker 1: and your engine is severely overdue for service.
6:25
Speaker 2: Got to get that done.
6:26
Speaker 1: Preventative maintenance is critical for Otani. You change your oil regularly.
6:33
Speaker 1: And you save money in the long run. And right now,
6:35
Speaker 1: the Doyers, they have some horsepower issues, which is wild
6:41
Speaker 1: to say that.
6:43
Speaker 2: That right now, based.
6:44
Speaker 1: On today, looking around the major leagues, you would say
6:49
Speaker 1: the way they're playing, the Dodgers are not the team
6:51
Speaker 1: to bet on, which is crazy. It turns out the Dodgers,
6:55
Speaker 1: it's an indictment on the roster, is what it is.
6:58
Speaker 1: They've got a roster that's loaded to the gills. with
7:02
Speaker 1: expensive stars, name-brand players, and yet they have been pretty
7:08
Speaker 1: much a capital-O ordinary offensive team when Otani has looked
7:14
Speaker 1: capital-O ordinary.
7:16
Speaker 2: For the Dodgers.
7:17
Speaker 1: It turns out they've got this luxury yacht the Dodgers
7:21
Speaker 1: have built, really nice luxury yacht, and it's powered by,
7:26
Speaker 1: of all things, one exhausted outboard motor.
7:30
Speaker 2: That's it. That's it.
7:32
Speaker 1: So it's more than a mild concern at this point
7:36
Speaker 1: when you combine all the other variables for the Dodgers,
7:39
Speaker 1: guys that are underperforming like Freddie Freeman and somebody's got
7:42
Speaker 1: to start to hit a little bit. Mookie Betts is
7:44
Speaker 1: a shell of what he had been in his days
7:47
Speaker 1: with the Red Sox and early in his time with
7:48
Speaker 1: the Dodgers. And you go down the list. of players
7:52
Speaker 1: that have not performed up to expectations. Now, secondly, speaking
7:56
Speaker 1: of not performing up to expectations, I guess you couldn't
7:58
Speaker 1: say that about the Denver baseball team. They've lived up
8:00
Speaker 1: to expectations because there were no expectations. Now, I bring
8:04
Speaker 1: this up because a Rockies rookie center fielder, Cole Carridge,
8:10
Speaker 1: Kerrig was.
8:11
Speaker 2: Removed from the starting lineup over the weekend.
8:13
Speaker 1: And it was a story that got a fair amount
8:16
Speaker 1: of attention. Another young player who's lazy. We saw this
8:20
Speaker 1: with the Milwaukee Brewers and a team taking him out
8:23
Speaker 1: of the game as punishment for for being lazy. So
8:26
Speaker 1: in the case of the Rockies, this guy Cole Kerrig
8:29
Speaker 1: was removed from the starting lineup. They said for a
8:31
Speaker 1: couple of days after he gave the Atlanta Braves the
8:35
Speaker 1: universal number one sign, gave him the middle finger during
8:40
Speaker 1: a loss in Atlanta. And the jester came after Kerrig
8:45
Speaker 1: missed a diving catch.
8:48
Speaker 2: Oops! Whoopsie!
8:50
Speaker 1: And that became Michael Harris II's go-ahead two-run double for
8:55
Speaker 1: A play that shoulda, coulda been made there. The 24-year-old
9:00
Speaker 1: outfielder apologizing. Seemed like he was just repeating the talking
9:04
Speaker 1: points memo some PR hack gave him. He said it
9:08
Speaker 1: was inexcusable. Now, the punishment, though, had a loophole. Punishment
9:13
Speaker 1: had a loophole because Kerrig entered Sunday's game in Atlanta
9:18
Speaker 1: the day after the skipper of the Rockies said he's
9:22
Speaker 1: going to miss a couple of games today. for what
9:24
Speaker 1: he did, giving the bird to the fans in Georgia.
9:27
Speaker 1: And he came into the game as a pinch hitter
9:30
Speaker 1: and remained in the game defensively. All right, so toss-up question.
9:36
Speaker 1: More embarrassing, the rookie center fielder Cole Kerrig giving the
9:42
Speaker 1: middle finger to Atlanta Brave fans or Colorado's manager calling
9:47
Speaker 1: a two-game punishment that they were going to sit this
9:51
Speaker 1: guy down and then using him the very next game,
9:54
Speaker 1: the very next afternoon. So I'm not clutch your pearls guy.
10:00
Speaker 1: on this kind of stuff.
10:01
Speaker 2: I'm not. And Kerry gave those.
10:04
Speaker 1: Atlanta Brave fans, Tommy in Atlanta and all the other
10:07
Speaker 1: Braves fans, the middle finger. And we're supposed to get
10:11
Speaker 1: worked up, you know, clutch our pearls here, clutch our
10:15
Speaker 1: pearls because.
10:16
Speaker 2: Of that, please.
10:17
Speaker 1: And I guarantee you this, those Atlanta fans, That were
10:20
Speaker 1: given the gift of the bird. The bird is the word.
10:22
Speaker 1: The bird is the word. They were delighted. They loved
10:25
Speaker 1: the bird watching. Are you kidding me?
10:28
Speaker 2: Bird watching?
10:30
Speaker 1: To say the magic word that triggers the opponent in
10:36
Speaker 1: front of the entire stadium to point at you and
10:39
Speaker 1: give you the number one sign. Mission accomplished for those
10:43
Speaker 1: Atlanta Braves fans.
10:44
Speaker 2: Now, the real embarrassment.
10:46
Speaker 1: Is Colorado's manager, this guy Warren Schaefer, climbing atop the
10:51
Speaker 1: very peak of Mount Morality. The Rockies manager declaring that
10:56
Speaker 1: Carrick was an embarrassment, benching him for a couple of days,
11:01
Speaker 1: and then immediately inserting him in the lineup on Sunday afternoon. Now,
11:05
Speaker 1: that is not leadership. Last I checked, and I went
11:08
Speaker 1: back to the big book, that is not leadership. That's
11:11
Speaker 1: punishment with a nice coupon code. So use the coupon code.
11:15
Speaker 2: You're good to go.
11:16
Speaker 1: And what precious Rockies reputation is he protecting? Can someone
11:22
Speaker 1: help me out on that? Is it like a deluxe
11:24
Speaker 1: reputation that we don't know about?
11:26
Speaker 2: Yeah.
11:27
Speaker 1: Last I checked, Colorado is neck and neck a race
11:32
Speaker 1: to the bottom with the team that plays in Anaheim.
11:36
Speaker 1: They're the two worst teams in baseball.
11:39
Speaker 2: And so Carrick doesn't deserve a wooden spoon here. He
11:42
Speaker 2: does not.
11:43
Speaker 1: In fact, during what has been yet another zombie season
11:47
Speaker 1: for the Colorado baseball team, at least this kid shows
11:52
Speaker 1: a little bit of fight, a little bit of moxie
11:54
Speaker 1: and all that stuff, my dog moxie. The Rockies tried, wink, wink,
11:59
Speaker 1: to teach him a lesson. This manager you've never heard of,
12:02
Speaker 1: this guy Warren Schaefer, and only proved by doing this
12:07
Speaker 1: that the punishment has an escape hatch.
12:10
Speaker 2: Hey, we needed him.
12:11
Speaker 1: We had to put him back out there. Well, you're
12:12
Speaker 1: really sending a message. Do you really need me? You
12:14
Speaker 1: could play with eight players in the field, and it
12:17
Speaker 1: wouldn't matter. You'd actually do about as well as you're
12:19
Speaker 1: doing right now, tied for the worst record in baseball,
12:21
Speaker 1: the Colorado Rockies. Now, meanwhile, we head to New York,
12:24
Speaker 1: not a baseball story, but a story about the zeitgeist
12:29
Speaker 1: that we are all a part of these days here,
12:31
Speaker 1: the 2026 U.S.
12:33
Speaker 2: Open. I'm told that is a rather big tennis tournament.
12:37
Speaker 1: Yes, tennis tournament. Well, it's become a magnet. Yet again,
12:42
Speaker 1: the U.S. Open has become a magnet for influencers.
12:48
Speaker 2: Yep, the vermin.
12:50
Speaker 1: The vermin of society, the influencers. It has happened here,
12:54
Speaker 1: and it is becoming more of a social media spectacle.
13:00
Speaker 1: It's no longer said to be about just the sporting competition,
13:03
Speaker 1: and people are up in arms over this. You know
13:05
Speaker 1: those Those people that go to these tennis tournaments that
13:09
Speaker 1: sit in those really nice seats, these snotty elitists that
13:12
Speaker 1: love their tennis, they get very upset. So the ticket
13:15
Speaker 1: prices are surging. There are larger crowds, although the claim
13:21
Speaker 1: is it's not tennis fans.
13:24
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no.
13:25
Speaker 1: It is the influencer group that's there. These people are
13:28
Speaker 1: very upset, the tennis hardcores. Hardcore fans. The hardos of
13:32
Speaker 1: tennis are not happy there. So they've had... It's only
13:35
Speaker 1: been going on this weekend. It just started. The elaborate
13:38
Speaker 1: photo shoots inside, outside of the different tennis venues there
13:43
Speaker 1: in Queens. And this has sparked widespread complaints from the
13:47
Speaker 1: snob wing of the tennis fandom here that the people
13:52
Speaker 1: who show up, who are buying these tickets, are more
13:54
Speaker 1: interested in being seen than watching tennis. And they're complaining
13:58
Speaker 1: about that.
13:59
Speaker 3: So.
14:00
Speaker 1: The question here is the influencer invasion, the influence invasion
14:07
Speaker 1: at the U S open tennis tournament, a blight. Is
14:10
Speaker 1: this a blight on the tennis world? Or is this just, Hey,
14:16
Speaker 1: we're getting the younger generation in and this is what
14:18
Speaker 1: you got to do, right?
14:19
Speaker 2: There's a sign of the times, just a sign of
14:21
Speaker 2: the times. All right.
14:23
Speaker 1: So the poor influencer crowd, OK, let's let's just get
14:29
Speaker 1: this out of these innocent digital ambassadors of the Matrix
14:35
Speaker 1: who are out there. And the claim and the people
14:39
Speaker 1: that work in sports have completely fallen head over heels
14:41
Speaker 1: for this, that they're introducing a whole younger generation to
14:47
Speaker 1: the sport of tennis. That's the argument that's being made.
14:50
Speaker 1: Is it correct?
14:52
Speaker 2: To that I say, please, please, I say.
14:55
Speaker 1: The powers that be have rolled out the red carpet
15:00
Speaker 1: for what is an invasive species in all of our
15:03
Speaker 1: professional sports, the social tumbleweed, the invasive species. You know,
15:09
Speaker 1: tumbleweed from Russia came over on some shipping containers from Russia,
15:14
Speaker 1: and it's all over the western part of the United States,
15:17
Speaker 1: that tumbleweed.
15:18
Speaker 2: All right.
15:19
Speaker 1: And the reason this is everywhere is because of the
15:22
Speaker 1: industrial complex of big sporting has chimed in. They've decided,
15:27
Speaker 1: they've done the arithmetic that the amount of followers the
15:32
Speaker 1: social media influencer has equals relevance, and you're growing the
15:37
Speaker 1: sport of tennis and all that stuff.
15:39
Speaker 2: The reality is, and we saw the same outbreak at Super.
15:43
Speaker 1: Bowl Radio Row in We were in San Francisco last year,
15:47
Speaker 1: the convention center downtown, and there was a bunch of
15:49
Speaker 1: influencers bouncing around. And you can tell who they are.
15:53
Speaker 1: They got their ring cameras on. They're all dolled up,
15:56
Speaker 1: ready to go and all that. And so that happened
15:59
Speaker 1: at the Super Bowl. Now we've got the U.S. Open
16:02
Speaker 1: of tennis, which has become a fashion show where tennis
16:05
Speaker 1: kind of goes on somewhere in the background. There's some
16:11
Speaker 1: tennis going on, and that's it. Now, You look at this,
16:15
Speaker 1: they're prowling, these social media influencers prowling around Queens in
16:19
Speaker 1: these elaborate outfits.
16:22
Speaker 2: Doing their thing.
16:23
Speaker 1: Of course, they're getting a lot of leeway from the
16:27
Speaker 1: tennis people, the buttoned-up tennis people, because they think this is, again,
16:30
Speaker 1: currency and it leads to bigger crowds and all that stuff.
16:33
Speaker 1: And they're wearing outfits. It's like a fashion show. And
16:37
Speaker 1: if you've ever been to that area, Queens, in August
16:43
Speaker 1: or September... It is nasty. The BO that is in
16:50
Speaker 1: that arena. When people are wearing normal outdoor summertime clothes,
16:54
Speaker 1: and then you get all dolled up, and you're out
16:56
Speaker 1: there in that late August humidity, and it's craziness. And
17:01
Speaker 1: everyone's out there. They're not there, obviously, for the tennis.
17:03
Speaker 1: They're there for the freebies. They're there for the social status.
17:07
Speaker 1: And I would also argue that the U.S. Open at
17:11
Speaker 1: Arthur Ashe Stadium, right around the court there, has always
17:14
Speaker 1: been about people out from the Hamptons and the Wall Street,
17:18
Speaker 1: people who want to be seen sitting around those seats.
17:22
Speaker 1: And if anything, though, in this case, you look at
17:25
Speaker 1: the influencers and the people over on Madison Avenue– deserve
17:28
Speaker 1: to wear the dunce cap on this, and the reason
17:30
Speaker 1: they deserve to wear the dunce cap here, they shower
17:33
Speaker 1: the professional selfie takers with all these complimentary goodies. You
17:38
Speaker 1: get a certain number of fake followers, and they'll.
17:41
Speaker 2: Give you some free swag, and then all this stuff.
17:43
Speaker 1: And they claim they've got all the spreadsheets out and
17:46
Speaker 1: all that stuff, and they say, well, these people have reach.
17:49
Speaker 1: Of course, I'm very skeptical about I believe there's a
17:52
Speaker 1: lot of skullduggery going on. And there are social media influencers, obviously,
17:57
Speaker 1: that do have reach. There's not as many, though. Most
18:00
Speaker 1: of them are lacking the horsepower to go giddy up.
18:04
Speaker 1: They're lacking in the horsepower.
18:06
Speaker 2: They just are. And the rest and the vast.
18:10
Speaker 1: Majority of the social media influencers are driving around in
18:13
Speaker 1: Fred Flintstone's old car with the fake followers and their
18:19
Speaker 1: pushing them and they're peddling and desperately trying to get
18:21
Speaker 1: going with their feet and all this stuff most of
18:23
Speaker 1: the influence even the ones that the u.s open and
18:26
Speaker 1: the super bowl brought in and baseball has been dabbling
18:29
Speaker 1: in this uh they could not influence their own mother
18:33
Speaker 1: to change laundry detergent so who are they exactly influencing
18:36
Speaker 1: they're not and you can buy followers if i wanted
18:38
Speaker 1: to if i can spend the money and buy a
18:41
Speaker 1: couple hundred thousand followers on social media and You won't
18:45
Speaker 1: know where they're from. Nobody checks to see if they're
18:47

20:56
Speaker 4: Who?
20:56
Speaker 2: That happens. People complain. It was like, it was.
21:01

21:42
Speaker 2: producer's chair, because Coop went on a bender. I don't know.

22:04
Speaker 2: the Mallor riddle of the day. The Mallor riddle of
22:08
Speaker 2: the day. Now, what is the Mallor riddle of the day?
22:12
Speaker 1: It's from Major League Baseball is what it is. Pitcher
22:17
Speaker 1: Tarek Skubal took the blank that he bought the Tigers
22:20
Speaker 1: during spring training out of the locker room with him
22:23
Speaker 1: to Los Angeles and when he was traded to the
22:27
Speaker 1: Dodgers from the Detroit baseball team? That is the question.
22:31
Speaker 1: What is the answer? Just Josh in Cincinnati says the
22:35
Speaker 1: tampon machine. I don't know why he would buy that.
22:37
Speaker 2: What else do we have?
22:39
Speaker 1: Yoo-hoo fountain drink dispenser from Mal the Prop Guy. Page down,
22:45
Speaker 1: the Voodoo Boogaloo, the Box of Voodoo Boogaloo from Alf,
22:50
Speaker 1: the Alien O'Piner, the Gumball Machine from Eek in Roseville, Minnesota.
22:56
Speaker 1: Miguel on Fire says Scooble took the bidet out of
22:59
Speaker 1: the Tigers locker room to bring it.
23:02
Speaker 2: To the Dodgers. They already have bidets at Dodger Stadium.
23:05
Speaker 1: I believe that was one of the requests of some
23:07
Speaker 1: of the players they've brought over from Japan. They want
23:09
Speaker 1: the nice bidet for their tuchus, and they've gotten that.
23:12
Speaker 1: DJ Spin Patrick in San Diego says a vintage 1980s
23:18
Speaker 1: style Winston cigarette vending machine.
23:22
Speaker 2: Absolutely.
23:23
Speaker 5: Those are cool.
23:24
Speaker 2: Old school. Arik in Minnesota.
23:28
Speaker 1: He was up listing when I made my Guest appearance
23:32
Speaker 1: briefly on the morning show there on KFAN. Rick says
23:35
Speaker 1: he took the Slurpee machine from Detroit's locker room to
23:38
Speaker 1: the Doyers.
23:39
Speaker 2: I see what you did there.
23:40
Speaker 1: JT the Wingman says his Maller Plus hat is the answer.
23:43
Speaker 1: Tiger skin rug from Donkey Sausage.
23:46
Speaker 2: That's his answer.
23:47
Speaker 1: Trucker Joe, you got to have a fall, guys, says
23:50
Speaker 1: a special cocktail of fentanyl. He took that with him.
23:54
Speaker 1: Booty O's cereal from Courtesy Flusher.
23:57
Speaker 2: I don't know what that is.
23:59
Speaker 1: Curmudgeon Wayne in Duluth says he brought the pizza.
24:04
Speaker 2: Oven with him. According to the curmudgeon.
24:07
Speaker 1: Stripper poll from Bill, the snowman. Zephyr got it right.
24:12
Speaker 1: Obviously cheating.
24:13
Speaker 2: Bad job. By him.
24:15
Speaker 1: All right, Lorena, do you have an answer? It's the
24:17
Speaker 1: Mallor riddle of the day. One more time for those
24:21
Speaker 1: a little slow in the back of the room. Pitcher
24:23
Speaker 1: Tarek Skubal took the blank that he bought for the
24:26
Speaker 1: Tigers during spring training out of the locker room and
24:29
Speaker 1: packed it up and took it with him to Los
24:31
Speaker 1: Angeles when he got traded to the Dodgers.
24:32
Speaker 5: The stapler.
24:34
Speaker 2: The stapler. Is that correct? Survey says?
24:36
Speaker 6: Wrong.
24:38
Speaker 2: He took the espresso machine out of the locker room.
24:41
Speaker 2: Got to have that. Very expensive.
24:44
Speaker 1: Now, you can't afford to buy another one, so they
24:45
Speaker 1: have nice caffeinated drinks there in the Dodger locker room.
24:49
Speaker 2: Let's go to the phones. And let's see. Where do
24:52
Speaker 2: we have Eenie? Who do we have? Eenie, Meenie, Miney, Moe.
24:53
Speaker 2: Let's say hello to Mark in Indy, who's up next. Hello,
24:58
Speaker 2: Mark in Indy.
24:58
Speaker 3: Welcome.
25:01
Speaker 2: Marky Mark.
25:03
Speaker 3: Oh, boy.
25:04
Speaker 2: I hear some noise.
25:05
Speaker 5: I hear something.
25:06
Speaker 2: It's not going to work. He's been there for a while.
25:10
Speaker 1: All right.
25:11
Speaker 2: The effort was made. He's probably sleeping. I don't know
25:14
Speaker 2: what happened. Let's say hello to Jay Scoop. I know him.
25:18
Speaker 1: Who's in the Bay Area. He was there with his
25:19
Speaker 1: lovely wife there. They were hanging out at the big event.
25:24
Speaker 1: And he sang Original Mallard.
25:27
Speaker 2: Callers get an attitude.
25:29
Speaker 6: Drop them like it's hot.
25:30
Speaker 5: Drop them like it's hot.
25:31
Speaker 6: Drop them like it's hot. I got Benny on the
25:33
Speaker 6: phone and I'm sitting on Chrome when it's raining golden tickets.
25:36
Speaker 3: I ain't staying on hold. What's up, y'all?
25:40
Speaker 1: Hey! There he is, J Scoop. You saw those Mallard
25:43
Speaker 1: Plus hats. That was compliments of the generosity of J Scoop.
25:46
Speaker 2: So thank you for that, J Scoop.
25:48
Speaker 6: And Tammy in Montana.
25:51
Speaker 1: Well, thanks to Tammy as well. Thanks, Tammy. She did
25:56
Speaker 1: get some love there. People were like, where's Tammy and
25:58
Speaker 1: all that? We've got to get Tammy at one of
25:59
Speaker 1: these events. We had Tammy in Vegas, of course, we love. Tammy!
26:04
Speaker 1: And Tammy in Montana as well. We'll get all the Tammys.
26:07
Speaker 1: We'll just have one meet and greet with only women
26:09
Speaker 1: named Tammy. That'll be it. Nobody else will be invited.
26:12
Speaker 1: Only women named Tammy. It'll be just Tammy in Montana
26:15
Speaker 1: and Tammy in Vegas, and that'll be the only.
26:17
Speaker 2: Thing that we have. Unfortunately, Tammy in Vegas did not
26:19
Speaker 2: get a hat. I was literally overwhelmed, J.
26:21
Speaker 1: Scoop, at the end of the event with people running
26:23
Speaker 1: over trying to get their hands on the hats.
26:26
Speaker 6: I heard there was a knife fight outside over one.
26:29
Speaker 2: Of those hats.
26:31
Speaker 1: Either that or it was over fentanyl, but somebody got shanked.
26:33
Speaker 1: I don't know what that was about.
26:36
Speaker 2: We are not responsible.
26:36
Speaker 6: Now, you know, Ben.
26:39
Speaker 6: You know, Ben, we don't do list radio, but if
26:41
Speaker 6: I had a big board of like my top three
26:45
Speaker 6: moments during the meet and greet, I got to tell you,
26:48
Speaker 6: you know, who has the second biggest balls in the world?
26:53
Speaker 6: That's of course, big balls, Bob, but the guy who
26:56
Speaker 6: has the biggest, that's Robbie, the Mariners fan. I don't
26:59
Speaker 6: know if you know about what happened with him going
27:01
Speaker 6: up there on stage with me. But he got told basically,
27:05
Speaker 6: I don't know, 20 minutes before that, hey, you're going
27:08
Speaker 6: to come up there and join me on stage because
27:11
Speaker 6: it was supposed to be Big Lou, but he didn't
27:14
Speaker 6: show up. And so I asked Robbie if he would
27:19
Speaker 6: go on there, and he said he would.
27:21
Speaker 3: So it was pretty crazy.
27:23
Speaker 1: Yeah, I heard things about it. I was busy in
27:26
Speaker 1: the back. I was very social, as you know, Jay Scoopman.
27:29
Speaker 1: It's very hard for me to be social. But you
27:31
Speaker 1: guys were killing it on stage. The original Mallard tune,
27:34
Speaker 1: which I guess we will be playing here.
27:35
Speaker 3: We are playing.
27:36
Speaker 2: We're going to be playing it at some point.
27:38
Speaker 5: Did you send it in?
27:39
Speaker 2: No, we'll get it to you.
27:40
Speaker 6: Oh, okay.
27:41
Speaker 5: Then, yeah, I'd love to play it.
27:42
Speaker 2: Right, Jay Scoop?
27:44
Speaker 4: What?
27:45
Speaker 2: What are you going, oh, my God, for? God's not
27:48
Speaker 2: involved in this. We've got out of this.
27:51
Speaker 6: Let's just say, despite Robbie's heroic efforts, His timing wasn't
27:56
Speaker 6: perfectly efficient.
27:57
Speaker 2: Oh, it makes it better. That makes it. No, no,
28:00
Speaker 2: that makes it better. No, no, no. Off key. Robbie,
28:03
Speaker 2: the Mariner fan is better. Robbie, the Mariner fan. We
28:06
Speaker 2: love Robbie.
28:07
Speaker 3: We do.
28:08
Speaker 6: And I'm laughing my ass off. I'm realizing, you know what?
28:11
Speaker 6: I've done a lot of shows singing on stage, but
28:15
Speaker 6: they were real songs. That's the first time I did
28:17
Speaker 6: a parody and people are like laughing and I'm laughing.
28:20
Speaker 6: It was hard to hold my composure. And then later on,
28:24
Speaker 6: who can say they played fiddle to smells like teen
28:29
Speaker 6: spirit like JT the wingman?
28:31
Speaker 1: Well, JT, is he not the life of the party,
28:34
Speaker 1: that guy? Bouncing off the walls, big smile. Everyone loves
28:37
Speaker 1: JT the wingman. What a great guy, that guy. He's
28:41
Speaker 1: been at six of these things now, Jay Scoop. Six
28:43
Speaker 1: Malheur meet and greets.
28:44
Speaker 5: What a record.
28:45
Speaker 1: Every time. I believe he's been to, yeah, every time.
28:49
Speaker 1: We were in South Carolina. He was at the one
28:51
Speaker 1: in Minnesota. And obviously out in Vegas a couple of times.
28:55
Speaker 2: So it's pretty cool.
28:56
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
28:57
Speaker 6: And then the other thing was just meeting all the people,
28:59
Speaker 6: like especially the ones that maybe they don't trip up
29:02
Speaker 6: online or whatever.
29:04
Speaker 3: And, you know, like the.
29:05
Speaker 6: Folks from like Florida, maybe, you know, last second. coming
29:09
Speaker 6: in and Louisville and meeting metaphor and, and then seeing
29:13
Speaker 6: Lorena popping around to everybody. Like she was like the
29:16
Speaker 6: honeybee of the, of the meet and greet, just bouncing
29:19
Speaker 6: around all the flowers. So it was pretty cool. Now
29:22
Speaker 6: it was a lot of fun being there.
29:24
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was great.
29:25
Speaker 1: And now we're going to do one of these at
29:26
Speaker 1: some point in your backyard there. I know you're in
29:28
Speaker 1: Northern California, Jay scoop. So at some point we're going
29:31
Speaker 1: to have to come out there to Oakland and we're
29:33
Speaker 1: going to get an armored vehicle and we're going to
29:35
Speaker 1: go to hang out with Alameda Lou in Oakland, and
29:39
Speaker 1: we look forward to that. That's on my to-do list.
29:41
Speaker 1: Maybe we can sneak that in before the end of
29:43
Speaker 1: the year.
29:43
Speaker 5: So we have Oakland and Nashville on the coming up.
29:46
Speaker 2: That's on the big board right now.
29:49
Speaker 5: Okay, I like those.
29:49
Speaker 2: All right, well, Jay Scoop, you're the man. It was
29:52
Speaker 2: great seeing you and your wife again, and look at that. Amazing.
29:55
Speaker 2: And we'll play that song.
29:56
Speaker 6: Yes, sir.
29:57
Speaker 2: All right, buddy.
29:58
Speaker 3: All right.
29:58
Speaker 2: Take care. The great Jay Scoop, legend. See you later.
30:01
Speaker 2: Legend in the Mallard. He put together the Seattle meet
30:04
Speaker 2: and greet that we did in 2019. What a crowd.
30:06
Speaker 2: We had JJ.
30:07
Speaker 5: I was not alive on this show back then.
30:08
Speaker 2: You were not part of the show, but I had
30:10
Speaker 2: a wonderful time. It was in Seattle.
30:11
Speaker 1: It was in December, right before the pandemic, actually. The
30:14
Speaker 1: world shut down like a month after that.
30:15
Speaker 2: Good timing.
30:16
Speaker 1: And we made our way to Seattle. Had a fine
30:19
Speaker 1: time in that city. It rolled out the red carpet
30:21
Speaker 1: for us.
30:21
Speaker 2: That was the one where we had.
30:23
Speaker 1: Our friends from Spokane who were waking up homeless people,
30:27
Speaker 1: Ed from Spokane and Christina with the bullhorn as they
30:29
Speaker 1: were walking through the streets of Seattle. Let's go back
30:32
Speaker 1: to the phones and let's see. I think this is,
30:34
Speaker 1: let's go to line five. And it says here, Van,
30:37
Speaker 1: the one-legged Bama man. Let's see if this is legitimate
30:40
Speaker 1: because there are some phony phone calls out there. Hello, Van,
30:42
Speaker 1: the one-legged Bama man.
30:45
Speaker 3: Hello, Benny.
30:46
Speaker 2: Oh, that's it. That's it. That's the guy. That's the
30:49
Speaker 2: real guy. I recognize that voice.
30:53
Speaker 3: How you doing?
30:55
Speaker 2: How am I doing?
30:56
Speaker 1: If I was any better, I would be a Dodger,
30:58
Speaker 1: but not an L.A. Dodger because they got spanked by
31:00
Speaker 1: your Atlanta Braves.
31:03
Speaker 3: Braves swept them.
31:05
Speaker 2: I am aware. I am aware of what happened.
31:07
Speaker 3: But I'm glad I lost my girl Dolly.
31:12
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. Sorry about that.
31:15
Speaker 3: I got a Dolly story.
31:18
Speaker 2: All right.
31:18
Speaker 3: 1985. Shortly before I moved up there, I helped another
31:23
Speaker 3: friend move from Alabama to Nashville. There was nothing on
31:29
Speaker 3: 2nd Avenue, which is now full of bars and restaurants,
31:32
Speaker 3: except the Spaghetti Factory. I went there to eat, look up,
31:39
Speaker 3: and it's Dolly and three other gals.
31:43
Speaker 1: So you're in a spaghetti factory with the legend, Dolly Parton,
31:47
Speaker 1: right there.
31:48
Speaker 3: Yes, yes. So I said, I'm going to go talk
31:51
Speaker 3: to her. I told my friend Scott. And so I
31:56
Speaker 3: went over, introduced myself, told her I used to watch
31:59
Speaker 3: her on the Porter Wagner show, but I didn't hear
32:02
Speaker 3: a word she sang. I was just watching. I said
32:06
Speaker 3: I was just looking at you.
32:07
Speaker 2: You were mesmerized.
32:08
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I, yeah, well, I guess I was... Teenager Luskin.
32:14
Speaker 3: But she thought that was funny. She thought I was cute.
32:20
Speaker 3: And she said, she fingered, like, lean over here. She
32:24
Speaker 3: kissed me on the lips.
32:26
Speaker 2: On the lips?
32:28
Speaker 3: On the lips.
32:29
Speaker 2: Oh, it's a different time already. Oh, baby.
32:31
Speaker 3: Wow. And I was like, whoa. Thank you, Dolly. That's
32:36
Speaker 3: better than an autograph.
32:38
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would say so.
32:39
Speaker 3: Yeah, but she was a great gal, man. She did
32:43
Speaker 3: a lot for people. She was very funny.
32:46
Speaker 1: Well, and one of the few people the University liked.
32:49
Speaker 1: It's very hard to be University liked in modern society
32:52
Speaker 1: because people hate everyone.
32:53
Speaker 6: Yeah.
32:53
Speaker 2: And she's one of the few people that everyone.
32:55
Speaker 3: I heard the quote was, she may be the last
32:58
Speaker 3: American that everybody loved.
33:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, did I see there was some talk about naming
33:03
Speaker 2: the airport in Nashville? Yes, they're going to name it
33:06
Speaker 2: after her. That'd be cool.
33:09
Speaker 3: I got a story about that.
33:10
Speaker 2: Here we go. Look at this. This is why we
33:12
Speaker 2: love Van, the one-legged Bama man. The guy's got stories.
33:16
Speaker 2: One leg, multiple stories.
33:18
Speaker 3: For the company I was working for when I moved
33:20
Speaker 3: up to Nashville, I wanted a trip to the Bahamas.
33:23
Speaker 3: I flew out of the very first flight out of
33:26
Speaker 3: that airport. It just built.
33:29
Speaker 2: You never want to be on the first plane out,
33:31
Speaker 2: but you survived. You survived.
33:32
Speaker 1: You want to be like on the fifth or sixth.
33:34
Speaker 3: There was a reporter there interviewing us, and I said,
33:36
Speaker 3: I just hope it takes off fine and we land fine.
33:39
Speaker 3: That's all.
33:39
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
33:39
Speaker 1: Well, I remember one of my guys I used to
33:42
Speaker 1: work with was a pilot, and he said the hardest
33:44
Speaker 1: part of flying is taking off and landing.
33:45
Speaker 2: Other than that, you're in really good shape when you
33:47
Speaker 2: get to this. Taking off and landing part's a bit
33:49
Speaker 2: of a problem.
33:50
Speaker 3: Yeah.
33:50
Speaker 2: All right, well, listen, Van, we love you.
33:52
Speaker 1: By the way, if you don't know Van, the one-legged Bamberman,
33:55
Speaker 1: he's got the most testosterone of anyone on the show.
33:57
Speaker 1: The guy's a legend. I wish he would call more often.
33:59
Speaker 1: He's very busy with life. But Van, the one-legged Bamberman,
34:02
Speaker 1: famously had— What's that?
34:04
Speaker 3: One quick question. Are the Rams going undefeated?
34:07
Speaker 2: No, they will not go undefeated, but they will win
34:09
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl. That's all that matters.
34:10
Speaker 1: And Van, the one-legged Bamberman, he's known as Van, the
34:13
Speaker 1: one-legged Bamberman because he was out— well, you were fishing, right?
34:16
Speaker 1: You were out in a swamp somewhere?
34:17
Speaker 4: Yeah.
34:17
Speaker 3: No, we were alligator hunting.
34:20
Speaker 2: Alligator hunting.
34:20
Speaker 1: He was out alligator hunting, and the gator got him,
34:22
Speaker 1: bit his leg off, and he and his pal, and
34:25
Speaker 1: then they went back, and your buddy caught the gator,
34:28
Speaker 1: killed it, and then you ate it.
34:29
Speaker 2: The gator that bit his leg off.
34:31
Speaker 3: He shot it.
34:32
Speaker 2: Shot it.
34:32
Speaker 3: That's how you kill them. You shoot them right between
34:35
Speaker 3: the eyes.
34:35
Speaker 2: That sounds very violent.
34:36
Speaker 3: Got a soft spot right between their eyes and you
34:38
Speaker 3: shoot them with a. 22.
34:39
Speaker 2: That's very good advice.
34:40
Speaker 1: Lorraine, if you're ever in the bayou, if we do
34:42
Speaker 1: a mile of meet and greet in Louisiana somewhere, you
34:45
Speaker 1: got to go down there with your gun and then, yeah,
34:47
Speaker 1: right between the eyes right there.
34:48
Speaker 5: I thought I'd just feed them some marshmallows. I think
34:50
Speaker 5: they like marshmallows.
34:51
Speaker 1: Or you can run zigzag because they can't run.
34:54
Speaker 2: They can only run in a straight line. I think
34:57
Speaker 2: that's the thing. All right. We love you. Call me
34:59
Speaker 2: more often, Van. We love you, buddy.
35:01
Speaker 3: All right, buddy.
35:01
Speaker 2: All right, take care.
35:02
Speaker 1: The great Van, the one-legged Bama man checking in from Obama.
35:08
Speaker 2: Because that's how he rolls. Yeah.
35:12
Speaker 1: Trucker Joe says, you got to do a meeting in Philly.
35:16
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd love to. I've been to Philadelphia. I didn't
35:21
Speaker 2: do a meet and greet, though. That was one of
35:22
