  Speaker 2: American League Championship Series, game number three, Game number three
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: of the Alcs, and who's to blame for cal Raley's
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: Mariners getting Shalac Clobbard blown to bits, smashed like a
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: bug on a windshield by Toronto.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: We'll take a look at that.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: Also, what was the difference for Blue Jay star Vladimir
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Guerrero Junior who had been zero for seven the games
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: in Canada and went four for four for the Toronto
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: baseball team in the game played last night in the
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: Great Pacific Northwest. Also, what do you think of Fox's
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: broadcaster John Smoltz and what appears to be an addiction.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: We like John, but he's got an addiction to using
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: the word momentum during these games. It was a pet
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: peeve of mind. So I will use the bully pulpit
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: to vent and you'll hear that right now here. It
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: is as we knock it out of the park. It's
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: our number one.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: Well, if you had the American League Championship Series over
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: after the first two games. Apparently the Blue Jays did
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: not get the memo. They did not get the memo.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: Welcome in the beginning of another night of the Ben
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Malor Show. We are in the air everywhere cohorts as
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: we shoehorn in the fun coast, the coast, border to
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: order and beyond on the mast and classically powerful microphones
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: of FSR ammating live from the drop as we drop
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: the mic on your ear drums like Vladie Guerrero drops
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: dingers in the world famous Fox Sports Radio studios, much
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: to the dismay of Robbie the Mariner fan JJ in
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: Retten Nostredenis and crying Craig, Who's crying somewhere right now.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: This portion of the Ben Maler Shaw on Fox made
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: possible in part by our friends at ty Iraq.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: For over forty years.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Ty Iraq has been helping customers like Stevie Meatballs find
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: the right tires for how, what and where they drive.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: That's right, ship fast and free back by free road
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: hazard protection with convenient installation options that make Ferg Dog
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: and Alf the Alien Opine are very happy. Like mobile
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: tire installation ti iraq dot com the way that tire
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: buying showy. So a text message from the Blue Jay
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: locker room, not dead yet, not dead yet.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: That is our lead.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: We go to Seattle, the beautiful Pacific Northwest, the eye
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: of the baseball universe, as the only team from the
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Cartel of Baseball that had not made it, had not
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: gotten to the World Series two wins away, trying to
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: trim that down a little bit more. There was some
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: buzz in the airone fired up there and how did
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: that go? Mariners hosting Toronto and Game three of the
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: American League Championship Series in Island.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Game it was hump.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Day all that, and if you were not watching on Fox,
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: maybe you missed it. Vladdie no longer in a slump,
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Vladimir Guerrero Junior with not one, not two, not three,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: but four hits, including a home run. He scored three times.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: And the Blue Jays hit not one, not two, not three,
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: not four, but five ding dongs. That's a lot of
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: ding dongs, hollering James would like that amount of ding
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: dongs pasting the Mariners, absolutely pacing them thirteen to four
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: the final in Game three, and we had forever Dirty
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: Cheating Astro alumni George Springer also had a dinger and
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: three hits.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Bang Bang, Whistle Whistle.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Springer and Guerrero each hit solo shots as Toronto finished with.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: As we mentioned the five five home runs in the way, Toronto.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: I had eighteen hits in this game, eighteen of them.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: I'm told that's good. I'm told that's a lot.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: The better story, though, is in the losing locker room,
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: and so that is where we will begin as we
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: discuss the question when a team gets absolutely smoked like this,
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: what an embarrassment? The question is who gets the blame
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: for cal Raley's Mariners getting smashed like a bug by
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: a windshield driving at ninety miles an hour down the interstate.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: In this case, Toronto was the one that was driving
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: the car and the Mariners with the bug. So my
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: thoughts on this, I've got brown Derby, voodoo, and overhead
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: bin and we will combine all of these things together
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: and we're gonna put the biscuit in the basket, is
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: what we're going to do. So let's start with this,
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: and you focus at the very middle of the diamond. Now,
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: if you imagine in your head the baseball diamond. You've
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: got the backstop, the catcher. We're looking out towards the outfield.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: You got the catcher. You go down to the right
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: hand side, you get the first baseman, you got the
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: second basement, then the other side, you got the short
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: stop and the third basement. But in the middle of
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: all that, right the man in the middle, that would
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: be the man standing on the bump, the bumpety bump,
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: and boyder he go bumpety bump.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: That would be the starting pitcher.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Now, the Mariners were set up early here as j
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: rod hit a two run homer in the bottom of
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: the first. Julio Rodriguez two run shots, So see's up
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: to nothing, feeling pretty good about themselves, similar to the
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: vibe Milwaukee had in Game two. And they got the
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: early home run over the Dodgers. And then George Kirby
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: it didn't happen right away, but when it happened, he said,
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: you know what I want to do.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: I want to honor the big Dumper. I would like
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: to honor the big dumper.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: And what better way to honor the big dumper than
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Kirby bringing back an old Hollywood restaurant from early Hollywood
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: called the Brown Derby and a big giant brown you
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: know what.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: All right, there.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: Served up not one, not two, but three of the
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: five home runs, and by the time the dust had settled,
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: Kirby allowed eight earned runs. God awful starting pitching, right,
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: utterly worthless. And while Kirby was terrible, he was left
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: in the game for an extended dance remix. And so
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: you point the finger at the manager of the Seattle
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: baseball team, or should I point the finger at the nerds.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Either way, it's a balancing act.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: You've got Dan Wilson, who is getting kind of old,
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: looks old Dan Wilson there in the dugout, who's juggling
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: machetes and butcher knives. And let's just say that he
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: forgot to catch a couple of the knives in one
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: of the you know, it just was.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: It was ugly.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: It was right to the forehead right there, sliced wide
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: open the forehead.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: And you gotta have a feel for the game.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: Kirby suffered from die die diarrhea during that inning, and
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: Wilson did not change the diaper. He did not change
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: the diaper. He said, you know what, you get diarrhea?
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: I want you to fill that diaper all the way up. Okay, good,
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: fill it up, fill it up some more. It's not done.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: What a stinker. Now the malord advice to the Seattle
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: baseball team. I learned this from an NFL quarterback years ago.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: When you take a deuce, you don't sit there and
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: look at it. No, no, you flush it and you
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: move on. So there you go the Mariners, who absolutely
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: that was more of a diarrhea situation than a deuce.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: But it was quite the mess there from the Seattle
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: side of things, giving up eighteen hits, all those home
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: runs your home ballpark. Everyone all fired up, and we
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: have road field advantage in baseball.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: It's something that nobody wants to talk about, and you know,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: I'm supposed to talk about what's wrong with you?
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: Because there's this myth of home field advantage, like you're
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: going into a stadium and there's a moat around it
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: and it's impossible to win in a certain stadium, which
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: is just bull crap. It's been that way for years
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: since the players union complained, and they have all the
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: creature comforts on the road that they would have at home,
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: and many of the players like playing on the road.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: More than home.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: They're away from their families. They like that, but you're
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: not supposed to talk about that either. Meanwhile, on the
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: winning side, on the winning side, the question what was
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: different on this night than the previous nights for Toronto
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: Star of Vladimir Guerrero Junior and his big night. Now,
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: we had mentioned in a previous episode of the show
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: that in his playoff career, granted small sample size, but
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: Vladimir Guerrero Junior had been absolutely monster matching against the Yankees,
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: against everyone else. He was batting one hundred in his
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: playoff career, like one oh three in his playoff career. Well,
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: that number has changed a lot because one night the
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: guy's a wet noodle and then he takes a quantum leap.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: And now in this game, it was like vintage Joe
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: Carter reincarnated in a Blue Jay uniform there with extra
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: hot sauce. That was impressive there, and he was like
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: the bouncer at the door there and he was telling
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: the Mariners you're not on the list.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Pal, I'm sorry, get out of here. You're not invited.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: The Voodoo bugoloo, the mental voodoo boogoloo, the classic slumpbuster stuff.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: Mark Grace approves that message. The stage fright had been
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: there and the mental undressing of the matches. They say,
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: when you got stage fright, you got to use those
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: mental gymnastics and imagine that the people are are not
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: wearing their clothes. He had been zero for seven, so
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: instead of imagining though the Mariners players and boxers and briefs,
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: he used the art of manifestation. He had the Mariners
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: in his head and I'm convinced Uncle Moe will agree
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: with me on this. He had them wearing pinstripes, and
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: suddenly Vladdie was licking his chops, frothing like a rabbit
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: dog at a raw steak and a successful playoff performance.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: Now Toronto clearly approach things much differently. The Blue Jays
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: decided to go with what we call the Caveman approach.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: Me ce ball, me hit ball, Caveman approach. Right, all
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: eighteen hits within three pitches. So tat tat, hit the ball.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: No chessboard, No I'm gonna try to outsmart you, and
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: no it was a sledgehammer.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: Now it did help.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: It absolutely helped that the Mariner pitchers, led by the
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: aforementioned mister Kirby collectively pittled down their legs on the mound.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: And sometimes baseball is just that dumb, and you just
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: that's the way it is, and so you don't need
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: the launch angle thesis. I don't need to go into
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: my whole rant and rave about that. Sometimes the slump
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: ends because the other team to open up a nice
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: Italian bistro and serve oversized meatballs right there, or another
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: way to look at it, it's like a kid's birthday
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: party and they don't have any blindfolds. They have a
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: giant pinata filled with candy, and you get a bat
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: and no swing hards on. But you don't need to
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: worry about the blindfold. There's no need for the blindfold,
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: all right now, last word, so I have an h
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: I need discretion now. I granted this is something for
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: me and you might not care about That's fine. This
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: is this is therapeutic. This is therapeutic. And I'm sitting
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: there watching this game and I heard I jotted it down.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: I stopped counting at about seven. I'm sure it was
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: more than that. I'm sure it was more than that.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: John Smoltz on the broadcast kept saying momentum like every
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: inning he said moment every single inning, there must have
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: been a momentum button that they pressed, pressed the John
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: say momentum, Okay, moment So the question is, what do
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: you think of Fox broadcast John Smoltz and his clear
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: addiction to using the word momentum during these playoff broadcasts. Well,
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: it is the elephant in the room, the Komodo dragon
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: in the room.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: John Smoltz is out there.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: He's tossing around the word momentum like he's in the
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: French corner in New Orleans and he's tossing beads out
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: at Marti Gras just about every at bat. It seemed
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: I may or may not be embellishing every foul ball
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: every time a pigeon landed out on the warning track.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: Momentumness momentum that I swear if he could have trademarked momentum,
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: you imagine how much money he would have made from
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: revenue from that, I mean the royalties. By the third inning,
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: he would have gone off to play golf somewhere.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: That's what he would have done.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: It was like he was praying to the flying spaghetti
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: Monster of baseball, because momentum is as real in baseball
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: as the flying spaghetti Monster. You all told me, you said,
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, the Mariners have all the momentum.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: How'd that work out for you? Good?
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: Use a lot of money. I hope you lost a
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: lot of money. A lot of money, all right, So
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: might as well just pray to the flying spaghetti monster.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: Oh great, newly one, grant this team with the most
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: vibes more invisible energy, because that's.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: What momentum is.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: It's not a real thing. You can't hold it, you
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: can't see it. It is just verbal filler. Let me
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: repeat that for those of you a little slow in
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: the back of the room. It is verbal filler. It
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: is sportscasting, mashed potatoes. It's rice. You know how Sometimes
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: you go to a like a Mexican restaurant, you order
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: a like a beef burrito, chicken breed or something like that,
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: and they'll fill it with mostly rice because rice is cheap.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: It fills it up right, and you don't get the meat,
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: you get the cheap filler.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Well, that's the word. Momentum is cheap filler. And dingle berries.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: Act like it's some kind of mystical gas cloud floating
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: from dugout to dugout, it's so stupid. Tries me nuts
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: like the Mariners. Again, I'm just repeating what you told me.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: You told me this. They had all the momentum. They
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: carried that fifteen inning win over the Tigers, and they
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: flew across North America to Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and they
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: won both games. They were up to nothing in the ALCS.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: They had all the momentum. Now, let me ask you
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: a question. Did they make the mistake? And I think
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: this might have happened. I know, I want to be
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: fair to you. I don't want to be a complete douche.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: Is it possible that the Mariners traveling party, the equipment
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: manager packed the momentum bag in the carry on and
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: that TSA said, excuse me, kind sir, I don't think
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: you can bring that much momentum on board. You've got
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: too much mo it's over the limit. You're gonna have
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: to leave some of that moment them here in Toronto.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: But we need the momentum, sir, No, no, no, you
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: can't take that momentum. The plane won't take off with
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: all that momentum.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: It's so stupid.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: Or maybe they got the momentum on the plane and
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: then they were flying over like Fargo, North Dakota, and
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: somehow it slipped out. There was some turbulence and the
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: overhead beIN opened up and the momentum fell out and
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: then landed somewhere in North Dakota. So if you're in Fargo,
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: you might get a bag filled with momentum. You might
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: get that, all right, you might get that. And then
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: what happened after that? You think the Toronto Bluejay said,
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: you know what, we want some momentum, So why don't
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: we trade some delicious poutine and we'll get it back.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: We'll make a deal with the baseball guys. You gave
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: the Mariners too much momentum. Give us some momentum. Okay,
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: we'll give you some momentum. Give us some poutine. Okay,
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: I'll take the poutine. There you go. Even on the
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: postgame show where they were all playing grab ass, there
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: you had Kevin Burkhart, who I don't know, does he
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: do this all the time. I just noticed it because
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: it was on my mind. On the postgame panel he
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: was doing the highlights. And if you saw the end
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: of the game, the Mariners hit a couple of garbage
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: time dingers and on the panel at the dais there.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: Burkhart said Seattle might have gotten some momentum with those
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: late home runs going into game.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: For spoiler alert, spoiler alert.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: That is not momentum. That is what's called. The clinical
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: term is stat padding. Yes, stat padding. When your team
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: is down by ten runs and you hit a home run,
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: that is stat padding, is what it is. It's like
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: saying the guy that got dumped by the hot girl
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: but buys new socks suddenly has relationship momentum for his
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: next relationship.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: Because he has new sucks. It's lazy.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: It's broadcasting auto pilot. It's like sports talk show hosts
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: that do one, you know, one topic the entire show
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: because they're lazy. It drives me nuts. But went in
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: doubt right, went in out. I could absolutely do that job.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: And I'm not being bragged doocious here. I know all
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: of the cliches, I hate almost all of them, but
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: I could do the job. Anytime a team takes the lead, well,
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: they've all the momentum right now, Nip, they've gone a
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: lot of momentum, NIP.

  Speaker 1: A lot of momentum.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, it's the um of the sports broadcasting world.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: Instead of saying say momentum. You have nothing to say momentum.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: Ban the word. Ban the word.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: Put it in the same pile as intangibles, which is
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: another bull crap word, a veteran presence, another nonsensical term
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: in sports, or just here, listen, get down and say
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: you know what to the flying spaghetti monster. My god,
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: all right now I feel better. See that was therapeutic.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: That was a therapeutic rant. And now I can go
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: on with my night and we can settle in here
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: and I'm good, You're good, And I guess you could
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: say we have momentum.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: We've got momentum. Yeah, okay.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: Anyway, it is the Ben Maler Show. If you'd like
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: to be part of this nonsense, you can try to
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: get in the lines. Usually earlier it's easier, and then
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: he gets progressively harder as we go through the night.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: But you give a shot, might get lucky right now,
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: and maybe get lucky in ten minutes.
• 18:29

  Speaker 1: cool pool boy with one of those like the thongs,

  Speaker 2: it's the clinical term from Compton writes in says, Ben,
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: are you related to no stradinas? Because I remember you
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: mentioning Russ to the Sacramento Kings last night and it happened. Yes,
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: I put that voodoo bugaloo on.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook to play.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: There's a running bit we have when we were driving
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: around and you know a band has officially jumped the
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: shark when you see them on billboards. I don't know
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: if this happens everywhere else, but I know here in LA,
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: driving around, you'll see on billboards like so and so's
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: appearing at one of the Indian casinos, and you know,
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: on the outskirts of LA. And that's usually a dead
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: giveaway that things are not going well for the band. Uh.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: And in basketball, when you sign with the Sacramento Kings,
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: that's also a dig giveaway things are not going well.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: Things have not gone well for you. Not a burner, right?
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: Since has Ben?
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: The Blue Jays were given the Tom Emansky instructional video
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: endorsed by Fred McGriff and that is the reason for
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: the turnaround. There you go, Fred says Ben, can you
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: please tell us how you really feel? About momentum. Yes,
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: late and I think I just did late night drug test.
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: This is maybe the word momentum was throwing around so
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: much because it was available in bulk at Costco in
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: nearby Kirkland, Washington.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: Well that's a great point, let's say, a fine, fine point.
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: Robbie, the Mariner fan, says, you might be right after
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: all about moment I'm not being a thing.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: What the f was that by my Mariners?
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: Robbie says, depressed definitely did not seize the moment. Yes,
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: there was no no seizing of anything going on. There
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: was a whole lot. I'm just happy you didn't go
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: to the game, Robbi. Imagine, imagine if that you spent
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: a lot of money on. Those tickets were not cheap, right,
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: those those tickets were expensive. You go out there and
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: you show up and games games over by the fifth inning.
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: It's like, wow, that's a lot of that's a lot
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: of dough to throw around, and then my god.

• 27:21
  Speaker 6: They lost one game, went home, they got two away,
• 27:25
  Speaker 6: and they're all over it. They're going to crush the
• 27:29
  Speaker 6: Blue Jays and they're going to kill the Dodger. You
• 27:36
  Speaker 6: are a West coast elitis.
• 27:40
  Speaker 7: And.
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: Rafael, if I was at West coast alitis, wouldn't I
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: say that the Mariners are going to win, because wouldn't
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: that be West coast bias if that was the.
• 27:51
  Speaker 6: Case, Pacific Northwest.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: You're a Pacific Northwest.
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: Okay, that doesn't count, So Pary, I didn't know this.

  Speaker 2: my monologue, Raphael, I would like to say right now,
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: and I want to learn all the affilies downline my
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: man Rafael in the Orlando area has all though momentum

• 29:01
  Speaker 4: You have one.
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: The thing that's most amazing about that is he was
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: able to call into the show.
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the dexterity is still.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I say, the number kind of fast. You know,
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: drinking is a lot.
• 29:15
  Speaker 8: That's a lot of I mean some of these apps though,

  Speaker 8: they just they can just click a button and it'll
• 29:21
  Speaker 8: call Oh.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: Is that is that on the iHeart app? I think,
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: I think, so.
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: Okay, all right, but you still have to be able
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: to futz around with your phone and get on there.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: And that's true, that's true.
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: I'm on it that Raphael. I guess he's not that
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: drunk if he could, you know, call in and is
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: is that they say Disney is the happiest place on
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: earth disney Land. I guess Disney World will be the
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: same thing. And I think Raphael's his apartment is right there.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: Man. That's how many bottles do you think he's gone?
• 29:51
  Speaker 5: Now?
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: How many bottles you think he's drinking? Seven hours? That's
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: a lot. I mean that's what do you think? Three
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: bottles more than that? If not more? Yah, gotta be more?
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: Right? Probably when he sounds like more you know right
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: away too, you know, I mean right the first word
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: he said, I said, this.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: Is a drunk.
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: This guy is completely hammered, right, this is this is
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: somebody that's been drinking for a while.
• 30:14
  Speaker 7: It's almost Friday.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: Good for him?
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: Uh yeah, well you think, I mean, this is your
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: your idea.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: Almost you think everything was almost Friday, the right, right? Yeah,
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: Tuesday was almost Friday too.
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, almost every day you're trying to get to Friday,
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: because Friday is a magical day.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: And because when you travel the world, you know, and
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: you go all over.
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: The place and you know, still, no, you don't now
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: what kind of drunk do you think he was? He's
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: I don't know what he's like normally that guy that
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: called in Raphael a nice drunk.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: See you think it's like a Mary Poppin's drunk.
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: He gets sweeter and happier because you're all upset with me,
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: he said. I you know, West Coast biased, but the
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: Mariners are not on the West Coast. I think he
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: might be a nutty professor mixed with the Mary Poppins.
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: The nutty professor becomes more social, So it could be
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: he's a little bit of a you know, Mary Poppins
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: and the nutty professor, so a little bit of those two.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: This like, there's four types of drunks. I learned this.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: I didn't know this when I was growing up. My
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: parents didn't teach me this. My mom did not. My
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: dad didn't teach me this, nor did school. School did
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: not teach me. That's correct.
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: I learned this doing overnight sports talk radio. I learned
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: that there are four types of drunks. That there's the
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: Hemingway drunk. Then that's the person that doesn't change at
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: all when they get completely sauced.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: Right. They love those people. You can't tell if they're
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: drunk or not. Yeah, I mean they're completely corkscrewed. But
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: you don't know because.
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: They're don't They don't change, you know, they're schnockered and
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: just well oiled and it doesn't matter. So that's the hemingway.
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: The Mary Poppins, they're the ones we mentioned. They get

  Speaker 1: Gotcha? Gotcha? Yeah?
• 33:19
  Speaker 7: Good question. So John Smoltz, I haven't you know. I
• 33:23
  Speaker 7: just got in the car. I heard John Smoltz and
• 33:26
  Speaker 7: that's why I called. Because I don't understand why a
• 33:31
  Speaker 7: person cannot form a sentence is allowed to call as
• 33:39
  Speaker 7: a commentator the World Series the Playoffs.
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: Well I don't.
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: I don't have anything against John Smoltz. It just annoyed me.
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: It just because he kept saying it, and every time
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: he said it is said that I became angrier and
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: I was just like, it's just there's is my issue,
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: but it bothered me, and so that's why.
• 33:58
  Speaker 7: I have I have the same issue, but it wasn't
• 34:00
  Speaker 7: just about one thing. I have an issue with the
• 34:03
  Speaker 7: fact that the guy could not know how to form
• 34:06
  Speaker 7: an English sentence when he speaks.
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't know who's who's uh, like everyone that
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: does the base. I remember Tim McCarver, who's been gone
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: for years, but he did that for a long time.
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: People should rip him because he would he would talk
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: the entire time.
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: Macarver just wouldn't shut up. People ripped him that.
• 34:23
  Speaker 6: I'm not saying that.
• 34:24
  Speaker 7: I mean no, no, John Folks just stumbled all over himself.
• 34:27
  Speaker 7: I don't think I think Tim McCarver did that.
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: I mean Tim, you'd ask him one question and he
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: would talk for three innings. And that was back when
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: he talked about forty five minutes at.
• 34:39
  Speaker 7: Least against form an English sentence. I guess that's my point.
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: I got you. All right, we'll stay away from the
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: freeder allies, all right, and be careful. All right, you guys,
