• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Rewhere as we come out swing it, unlike the Mets

  Speaker 2: who never swing, and we have a blaze of glory
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: coast to coast.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Border to border and beyond on the vast and.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Stylishly powerful microphones of fs are ammundating live fro the puzzle,
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: as we are just one little piece, not even a
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: corner piece, the puzzle of sports talk radio life. Garanteed
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: human from the world famous Fox Sports Radio Studios here
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: where Steven Manhattan reminds us this hour made possible by
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: our friends at ti Iraq. For over forty years, ty
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Iraq has been helping customers like Alf the Alien, ol
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Pineter Ferdnog and Malaprop Guy find the right tires for how,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: what and where they drive ship fast and free back
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: I free road hazard protection, which I know Zach and
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Rhode Island likes a lot, will be pair will be
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: by Blair also giving the thumbs up on that. With
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: convenient installation options like mobile tire installation, tire rack dot
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: com the way tire buying should be.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: So are leading this out? We're gonna start with baseball.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: The why why are you starting with baseball? What at
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: the NBA? Do you see the NBA?
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: It blue all weekend trash. I just assume when the
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: playoffs started we'd get some dramatic moment. No, not the
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: first couple of days of the NBA. I tried, I watched, sucked.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: I don't have to start with that. I don't get
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: paid by the NBA. The most compelling story in sports
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: right now is what's going on with the New York Mets.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Gigantic payroll, high expectations. They suck, Okay, and so we
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: go to Chicago where the Metropolitans dropped their eleventh consecutive game.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Repeat that for those of you a little slow, because
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: I know it's the end of the weekend, the start
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: of the new week, and for some of you, the
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: weekend does not end. The New York Mets have lost
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: eleven straight games and are now at the very bottom.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: They're tied for the worst record in all of baseball.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: And they did it with a flare as former Yankee
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Devin Williams, who rode the vomit comet in the ninth
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: inning in a two to one loss to the Cubs.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: And there you go, so blowing the lead. He blew
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: the lead in the ninth and then the Mets end
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: up losing to the Cubbies in the tenth inning. So
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: this seems like a big deal. You lose eleven games
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: in a row. That seems like that's hard to do,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: considering every day as a new opportunity and all that.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: So the New York Mets now their longest losing streak
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: in a generation.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Think about that.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: A generation has entered the world and now they get
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: to experience the Mets.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: You're gonna go back.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: To, oh four, twenty two years ago. The last time
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: the Mets played this bad. The reason I'm bringing this up, though,
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: the main reason I find this compelling is the conversation
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: with the different players now, mainly Francisco Lindor, who's.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Got one of those forever contracts from the Mets.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: So Lindor was asked about the state of the New
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: York Mets, and he decided to defend the manager. Defended
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Carlos Mendoza, who many fought deserved to be fired at
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: the end of last year. The Mets figuring, well, this
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: guy do anything. He just kind of just follows. He's
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: a middle manager, so we'll bring him back. And so
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: now people say, well, what are you doing. You should
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: have fired the guy last year. So Lindor running to
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: defend Carlos Mendoza. If you didn't see this or hear
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: about it over the weekend, perhaps not. Lindor on paraphraseer,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: he said, he's done a fantastic job talking about the
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Mets manager. This is not on him. He has made
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: sure everybody here is prepared. Lindor, who's got one of
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: those forever contracts. Every coach here is prepared. All right, Well,
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: that's good to know that. So the coaches are prepared,
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: the manager's prepared, the players are prepared, and they all
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: collectively are garbage.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Quote continues. We have the information, Lindor said, it comes
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: down to us. Mendy.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: I didn't realize that was his nickname, Mendy. I've heard
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: of Wemby. I didn't know about Memby. The Mets manager
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: named Memby or Mendy. Mendy's our guy, he's our leader.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: He's in control. Yes, in controls this is I'm not paraphrasing,
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: that's exactly what he said, Lindor, He's in control. He's
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: done a tremendous job. He'll be appearing at Chuckles Comedy
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: Club tomorrow night.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: What else do we have? We just haven't executed. No, really,
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: thank you, Captain obvious. That's from Francisco Lindor. It would
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: be unfair to put everything on him, he said, because
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: at the end of the day, you know how I
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: love that the end of the day, he has gotten
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: the ship in the right direction. We just have to
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: the people are paddling. We've got to paddle and execute,
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: all right. It's a nice paddling reference. So that is
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: a good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: Francisco Lindor says, the manager has the team in the
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: right directions. A Carlos Mendoza or is he called them
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: Mendy has the Mets in the right direction during the
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: eleven game free fall they're free falling. Does Lindor think
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: the fans are idiots or super idiots?
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: So I've got the.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: Cockpit, pa system, the citrus farm, and if that was
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: not enough, we'll toss in the used car salesman, and
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: we will combine all of these things together. And we
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: you and I together side by side here are going
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: to take this thing and we are going to take
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: a whirl.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Is what we're going to do, all right.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: So now, first of all, A Francisco Lindor knows that
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: even though in a town like New York was split
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: Yankees and Mets and all that stuff, the vast majority
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: this has changed in my lifetime. It used to be
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: if the Mets lost eleven games in a row, there
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: would have to be pounds and pounds of flesh served
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: up as a human sacrifice. The times are different now
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: that times are different in modern baseball, and the fans
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: are different. The fans for a generation have been fed
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: state run propaganda by the team websites and the fanboys
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: in the media.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: So it's much different. When I was growing up.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: You know, you could not survive on ELEVN game losing
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: streak without losing your job. Now, is there a chance
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: that Carlos Mendoza gets fired when the sun comes up
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: on Monday? Yeah, there's a shot. I wouldn't bet on it.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: The way baseball has gone in many, many years. Here
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: Lindor he realizes that the vast majority, because they've been
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: programmed in doctrine, they're not gonna get too hard on
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: the mets. I mean, yeah, well that's all right, And
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: so he's just banking on everyone having short memories and
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: all that stuff. And this is what teams do, by
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: the way, this is what teams do. When the plane's
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: going down. The captain gets on the cockpit PA system
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: and you can tell he's smiling. Just the tone of
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: the voice tell the captain smiling. A little clap and
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: just turbulence, just Turbulent's nothing to worry about. Just turbulence.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: Eleven straight losses, and Lindor's like, oh, things are going
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: in the right direction here, and we were prepared. And
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: it's like acting like, this is a group project and
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: it went great. Well, no, it's not going great. It's
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: I didn't play in the Major League. So it's insulting.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: It's absolutely insulting. If all they need to do is paddle.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: That was part of the quote here from Lindor. We
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: just have to the people are paddling, We've got to
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: paddle and execute. So if paddling is the problem here
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: for the New York Mets, why are they capsizing? Right
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: every single afternoon and night the Mets are? They are capsizing.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: So Lindor hitting two thirty nine in this eleven game
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: losing streak. Now, the marching and shout of society for
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: the Mets, who defend bad baseball, was like, well, it's
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: because Juan Soto is not in the lineup, Okay, So
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: if your best player, that's an excuse, right, So if
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: your best player's not there, you're just allowed to lose
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: every game, yes, Like you.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Can't rise up.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: Isn't normally the way it goes when a star players out,
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: other people step up and you're able to steal tread water.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: At least not the Mets. Not the Mets worst team
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: in baseball right now, Lindor hitting two thirty nine as
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: mentioned there in this eleven game skid one home run
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: one RB he drove himself in. That was against the
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: Doyers last week at Tavezvine. So not exactly the living
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: up to the contract and stepping up. It's more like
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: a salvage mission at this point for the Mets. And
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: of course he's out there backing Carlos mendoz a Lindor
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: and what do you expect you imagine became us, Oh,
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: this guy could He could not manage a puppy dog, right,
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: He couldn't take a puppy dog out to go potty.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: He couldn't do that. You don't light the manager on fire.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: We understand that you're not supposed to like the manager
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: on fire, but you would like to think they'd be like, hey,
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: he's not doing a great job. We're not doing a
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: great job. No one's doing a great job. And this
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: counts as a tepid vote of conference. Now we've not
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: heard from the ownership and the front office on this,
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: but it's a tepid vote of conference. Now, I translate
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: this as the even though the fans have been pacified
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: over the years with oh it's Joe it's okay, it
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: really gonna be fine. Here the clock you would think
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: is ticking the doomsday clock.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: Tic t.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: Mendoz is not really managing so much. The argument to
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: keep Mendoz is he's not really the traditional man like
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: it used to be in baseball. He's just following the
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: orders from the boys upstairs and the nerds, and they've
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: got the puppet strings out and he just kind of
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: walks around and does what they want him to do
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: with the lineup and all that.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Similar to Dave Roberts.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: Nobody thinks Dave Roberts is all that good, right, we
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: saw what happened in the past, and it's just a byproduct.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: If you give anybody great talent, they're gonna figure it out.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: He's mostly they play grab ass with guys like Vassa,
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: who are fanboys in the media of the Dodgers, and
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: then Aaron Boom the Yankees, who's the East Coast version
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: of Dave Roberts. But it's a classic Mets formula though,
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: right front office meddling around Like all modern baseball, the
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: front office medals around. They got all the answers, all
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: the answers. The manager ends up getting fried in a
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: deep friar. And the ones who suffer the most are
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: the people that actually invest the most important thing. They
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: have their time watching this. Now, speaking of bad baseball,
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: we go to Coursefield. They know a thing or two
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: about bad baseball in Denver. But it was the Dodgers
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: who played some bad baseball over the weekend, losing the
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: last couple here Saturday and Sunday to the Rockies. Of
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: bigger concern, the forever closer who's now opposer Wow, last
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: two outings now Edwin DZ who did not pitch against
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: the Mets. Wonder why so? Edwin ds has now allowed
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: six runs on seven hits and two walks in one
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: inning over his last two outings. Now, I don't want
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: to be too in your face. That sucks, all right Now.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: The most recent appearance, which was really special. When I
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: say special, I mean for the Rockies. Diz went out
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: there and failed the recording out against the sad sack
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: Colorado Rockies. In the eighth inning. He allowed three runs
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: on three hits and a walk, and then euthanasia Dave
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: Roberts came out took him out out of the game,
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: and so there you go. Roberts afterwards had a lot
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: to say. Dave Roberts, he said today was a tough evaluation.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: I would think today would be an easy evaluation. Your
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: guy stinks, that's the scouting report. What is there to evaluate?
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: Think I was bad?
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: You're rested him for nine days or whatever it was.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: You came up with his fugazy story about all this,
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: that and the other thing. Everything'll be fine. Bullpen session,
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: my fan ass bull bullpench session.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: So Diez, who's fastball?
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: The last with the Mets the last couple of years
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: averaged ninety seven ninety seven point two to ninety nine
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: point one on the FM dial and the radar gun.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: So the that's last four years four seam fastball, not
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: between ninety seven and ninety nine point one. Now with
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: the Dodgers this year, he's down to ninety five point
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: seven on the radar gun and in the game on
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: Sunday the velocity went down to ninety t two point eight.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: You're getting down your college radio level when you get
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: down that low on the dial at coors Field. And
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: he's only thrown six slower fastballs Edwin Diaz in his
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: career and Roberts clinch, oh, he's not hurt. The training.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: We talked to the trainers. He's not hurt. Okay, so
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: you always say, is he hurt? Is he tipping pictures?
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: The velocity thing? You know, I'm not a velocity queen
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: like a lot of baseball media people are like, oh,
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: I need the velocity. You can get people out more
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: ways than one. There's multiple ways to get you out.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: The problem is guys like Edwin Diaz, who only can
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: they use their tremendous skill set. They're not real pitchers.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: They just throw it by guys, and when they lose that,
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: they have no ability to adjust.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: That's the problem.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: Like if Diaz was getting guys out, I don't care
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: if he throws sixty five miles an hour. If he's
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: getting guys out, it doesn't matter. But when you're not
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: getting guys out and you're throwing a lot slower then
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: you had been, we got a problem. And so the
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: question do the Dodgers having Edwin Diaz problem? Absolutely, I'm
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: nodding my head aggressively. Yes, the Dodgers are out there.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: They've been hoarding damaged closers now two years.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: In a row.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: They treat these guys like rare collectibles, except none of
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: them actually work. That's the problem, all right, Tanner Scott,
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: that dog with fleas who they got last year. That
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: guy still sucks. It's like a retroactive suck. They kept
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: him on the roster, so you got Tanner Scott. Now
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: Edwin Diaz were almost a month into the baseball season
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: and it's less of a bullpen. It's like pep boys, Manny,
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: Moe and Jack out there trying to fix these guys.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: The Dodgers did not just damble. They didn't just dabble
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: on the closer market. They did a full belly whopper
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: in there. They went full hoarder mode. And they're stacking
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: up damaged goods like they're building a museum to bad relief.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: Pitching used to be good that we overpaid for.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: What happened in the analytic nerds, What happened to the
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: genius is the algorithm.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: What happened all that all they got all figured out.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: So at some point here you got to admit you
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: did not You did not buy what you thought you
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: were buying. You bought a lemon. In fact, Edwin Diaz
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: has been so bad.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: How bad is he?
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: Bet?
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: He's been so bad for the Dodgers to begin the
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: year that they bought the entire citrus farm with vermin
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: and all kinds of other issues on the citrus farm,
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: and they bought it, and they paid top dollar for it.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: They didn't get a discount. You paid daz for triple
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: digit heat and it's not happening. It's like the warranty
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: expired the moment he got down to La Guardia or
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: JFK or whatever and took off there. That's a downgrade situation.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: And I would imagine the next couple days the Dodgers
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: will find something that will claim is not right and
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: they'll put him on the injured list what used to
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: be the disabled list Edwin d Is and they'll shut
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: him down and say, well we got this thing, we
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: got to have an MRI and all that. But again,
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: the Dodgers thought they were getting a flame thrower, and
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: instead they ended up getting buying the NERF Super Soaker
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: scatter blast, which unfortunately the blaster, I guess it takes batteries.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: I don't know why it takes batteries, but the batteries
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: are low apparently, and you need to be replaced. So
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: you pay for timmy trumpet, and right now you're getting
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: Hugh the kazoo is what you're getting, which does not
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: seem to work very well. All right, last where we
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: have some drama on another bad team. The Mets are
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: tied with the Royals for the worst record baseball. And
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: there's one thing I have loved talking about bad teams. Now,
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: the Royals were supposed to be better this year. They
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: weren't supposed to be great, but better, and they're not.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: They are not.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: And over the weekend, the Royals catcher Salvador Peres did
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: not agree with the Royal skipper Matt Quatrero his explanation
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: for keeping him out of the lineup.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: And this was on Saturday, in.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: A turned out to be a blowout loss since the
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: Royals got swept by the Yankees over the weekend, the
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: manager Quatero told the reporters that he wanted to give
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: Perez a mental breather, he said, and left them out
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: of line. Now this is like mister Royal, salved Perez
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: has been there forever and so his eyes want to
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: give him a mental breather. Well, the very rarely do
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: you get this, We got it. Salvad Or Perez went
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: on social media says, I don't need a mental breather
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: is what he said. That's a direct quote. Okay, you
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: know what that means. We have a he said, he
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: said situation. So toss up question. Who's lying here, the
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: Royals manager, Matt Kuatero or the franchise icon salvad or Perez.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: So the answer to the toss up question, it's not
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: really even a toss up question.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: It's not.
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: The lie detector is pointing straight straight at Matt Quatero.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: That is where it's at. The skipper is spinning this
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: like a used car salesman. This mental breather line is
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: some cologne from the pr department there and yeah, you
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: spray it around there. It's a used car like Weasley Weasley. Here,
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: it's not a real benching unless it is right. If
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: it walks like a benching, if it talks like a benching,
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: it's not meditation time.
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: It's not so grab some bench, grab a little bench.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: Shit, your fat ass on the bench at Salvade Press
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: has been terrible this year. It's not pretend like that's
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: not part of the problem. The arithmetic is not particularly
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: good here. He looks like someone that should be retired.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: He's sitting I think under two hundred for the Royals
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: and now he played nice on Sunday he claimed that
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: he had made a mistake and all that stuff. However,
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: you always go with the initial line. You always go
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: the initial line. And this is not load management. This
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: is lie management is what this is. And that's how
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: you turn a routine day off into the clubhouse drama,
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: o rama, the soap opera. And the Royals they tried
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: to dodge the drama. They attempted to and then they've
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: created a bigger snaff oo, which is good for talk radio.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: Though it's the Royals, so you can get too far
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: into it. And Perez was back in the lineup on
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: Sunday for the Royals and said he was quote confused
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: and he didn't communicate right, which is code for he
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: did communicate right.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: However, the Royals didn't like the honesty. They did not
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: appreciate the honesty. It is the Ben Mahler Show. If
• 21:45

  Speaker 2: Plenty of pizza. The one thing about the Malla militia
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: they like to eat, so there'll be plenty.
• 24:53
  Speaker 6: Of What kind of pizza are you gonna order? Ben Well?
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: I like the garlic onion bell pepper pizza. I don't
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: know what's under many. I have to look at the menu.
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: There were something look good. I might just get a
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: standard pie there.
• 25:02
  Speaker 6: You know what I really like, like a hot honey pizza.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's not bad. It looks like it should
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: be bad, but it's not bad. So we kind of
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: a bougie.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: I went to a pizza place this weekend and they
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: had were fusing around and we found a pizza place.
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: One of the great signs of all time. In fact,
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: it made me love this place the pizza. They could
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: have served me dog food and I would have loved it.
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: The sign up there said no, we do not serve ranch.
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: How great is Yes, we do not serve ranch.
• 25:33
  Speaker 6: They just won your heart.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: Oh my god.
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: Yes, and they included blue tree blue cheese, which is
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: the ugly relative like the red headed stepchild of the
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: ranch frame.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: Also, they don't serve blue cheese. No blue cheese, no ketchup,
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: no mayo, none of that.
• 25:49
  Speaker 7: So that's that's fine because that means that they stand
• 25:52
  Speaker 7: on the quality of their pizza.
• 25:54
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 25:54
  Speaker 7: You don't need any dipping sauce with it, and it's
• 25:57
  Speaker 7: a good pie.
• 25:58
  Speaker 6: But it is extra wet with the sauce.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: Okay, well whatever, But this is I'm telling you don't
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: need ranches. It is an evil entry from the Midwest.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: The people of the Midwest have It's spread like every
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: infectious disease. It's spread across the country. This ranch dressing
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: bull craft and finally a pizzeria standing up to the
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: ranch movement that has been invasive. It is an invasive.
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: It's as invasive as tumbleweed. You know tumbleweed comes from Russia.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: Did you know that?
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: Yes, there was no, it is not. It is not
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: a native. It is not a native species to America.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: It came over.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: No, No, it came over in a shipment from somewhere
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: in Russia to the Midwest, or I think it was
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: in Iowa, and it just spread all over the country.
• 26:41
  Speaker 6: I know it's true about possums.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: What are you talking about possums.
• 26:46
  Speaker 6: Possums are an invasive species, were brought here as a
• 26:49
  Speaker 6: food source back when people first came to America. They
• 26:53
  Speaker 6: do not taste good.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: Possum does not take like crow.
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: I think, how much better if crows tastes everywhere I look,
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: crows the rats of the air, if they were delicious.
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: If someone can find a way to eat crow and
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: make it delicious, how great would that be.
• 27:06
  Speaker 6: I've been attacked by your crow.
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: You have been well. Crows are very good judges of characters.
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: So that's not a good sign for you, Lorena. That
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: the crow looked down about I know, and it has.
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: The crow has great memory. The crow remembers everything. Supposedly,
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: that's what I read about crows back.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: In the day.
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: All right, Yaphemi and Chicago writes and says, hey, mall
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: or a plus and whatever weed Man is having on
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: the monologue. Although I am not partaking this four twenty,
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: I encourage everyone else to take an extra.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: Puff for the Cubs sweep. Right.
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: A random ryan from Carolinas's former Washington Wizard, small forward
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: Michael Jordan won his fifth race of the year as
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: governor of the winning car after a late pass by
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: Kyle Larson in Kansas City or in Kansas rather.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: Buggety Muggety Muggey Muggety Muggey.
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: Muggey Muggingy Firk Dogs has been way to nail that
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: first live read. I can tell it's going to be
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: a good week. Also, special shout out to Andy the
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: comic book guy. His Buffalo Sabers ended the longest playoff
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: drought and they got a big win.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: So that's from Ferd. Just a quick comment here.
• 28:14
  Speaker 7: Yes, cool, because both of you gave like a little
• 28:16
  Speaker 7: fun fact and honestly I thought both of you were
• 28:19
  Speaker 7: completely full of it.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: Yes, what did you think I liked about the tumbleweeds thing.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: I thought, I thought, there's no way that's true.
• 28:26
  Speaker 7: And then and then Lorraina said the thing about the possum,
• 28:28
  Speaker 7: and I'm like, that's not true either, Ben Ben's is true.
• 28:34
  Speaker 7: That's that's blowing my mind. But no possums are native
• 28:37
  Speaker 7: to America. Lorraine, I don't know.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: You pulled the looney. You call the looney. That's a looney.
• 28:45
  Speaker 6: I mean the wildlife Safari Roseberg.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 28:50
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it says tumble weeds were an invasive species that
• 28:54
  Speaker 7: arrived in South Dakota around the eighteen seventies.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: So I was wrong. It was South Dakota and Iowa,
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: but South Dakota and I was not that far from
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: from Russia. What you got. I love random fun facts.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: Come on, man, that's a great fun fact. There you go.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: You can that.
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: You can win bets at bars with that. You can
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: go to a bar and win some bets on that. Like,
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: where did the tumbleweed cover? It came from Russia? It
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: wasn't here.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: Think about it.
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: If you lived before that, what eighteen seventies, there was
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: no tumbleweed.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: What a great record, a great world. Let's go to
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: the phones.
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: Stevie Meatballs is in the Sunshine State. Hello, see Stevie Meatballs. Welcome.
• 29:29
  Speaker 8: Well, mister Mallard, it's wonderful to be here with you.
• 29:32
  Speaker 8: I don't usually give in depth interviews, but for you anytime.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: Yes, how much are we paying for this?
• 29:39
  Speaker 8: We haven't decided yet. Okay, I'm going out there now.
• 29:42
  Speaker 8: We're still our people, my people, your people are still
• 29:45
  Speaker 8: discussing it right now, but I'm I'm ready.
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: Do you feel, like Stevie Meatballs, that you have now
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: passed everyone else by? And we had some blind listeners
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: that were big stars and callers, but they a lot
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: of them have fallen away to the wayside. They just
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: they don't call anymore when they call, not on their meds.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: Do you feel like you've reached a higher level and
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: you are now the face of the blind community on
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: the show?
• 30:08
  Speaker 8: Well, I am the president of the Blind Bowling League
• 30:11
  Speaker 8: here in Daytona Beach, the only blind bowling league in
• 30:14
  Speaker 8: the entire state of Florida. And uh, you know, we
• 30:18
  Speaker 8: do tend to we don't hear a train coming, we
• 30:21
  Speaker 8: might step in front of it or a bus. Bus
• 30:25
  Speaker 8: mirrors are a big one. You don't really hear the
• 30:26
  Speaker 8: bus because the motor is in the back of the
• 30:29
  Speaker 8: bus and when it comes by you and you're standing
• 30:31
  Speaker 8: on the sidewalk and the mirror is sticking out about
• 30:33
  Speaker 8: three feet. It hits people in the head, especially blind people.
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: They don't know it's not right and the other peoples.
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: You feel like the electric car movement is an anti
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: blind movement because you can't these cars are so quiet.
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: A lot of these cars, if you're blind, you can't
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: hear them coming.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: You can hear it.
• 30:50
  Speaker 8: Well, actually it started with the hybrid cars. They put
• 30:55
  Speaker 8: there's actually a speaker under the hood. I used to
• 30:57
  Speaker 8: be a service advisor when I could see under the
• 31:00
  Speaker 8: hood there's a speaker that makes noise. That noise that
• 31:02
  Speaker 8: you hear that electronic Yeah, you hear them coming. Yeah,
• 31:06
  Speaker 8: that's that's generated by a speaker. A lot of real
• 31:10
  Speaker 8: noise that you know what.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: This is the hour of fun Facts. There's another fun fact.
• 31:16
