The celebration on a whole. Well come in the beginning
of another night of the Benmallor Show.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
I know.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
You've stumbled on for the madness of it all. As

never cut corners, coast to coast, border to border and beyond.

buying shure be. I know Owen, big fan of that
(01:31):
number ten thousand. He's complained ten thousand times. But here
we are to save the night and our lead this hour.
Don't bury the lead, my man. All right, we're not.
We're gonna start out play the hits in the Bronx.
That was the theater. It was off Broadway and off
Broadway performance baseball. Was this the final baseball game of
twenty twenty four? Game four, the World Series Dodgers. They
(01:55):
were holding a broom ready to sweep away the Yankees.
He had John Smoltz and Joe Davis had to call
on Fox and everyone all dressed up ready to party.
And if you saw the game or not, but wait
another day. Anthony Volpi a third Inny grand Salami, and
that overcame the early two run bomb by Freddie Freeman,
(02:20):
who did it again, he said, a World Series record
for consecutive home runs the Yankees. Though the only time
you ever used the word stave is in sports. The
New York Yankees staved off elimination. They didn't hold off elimination.
They staved off elimination. They avoid the World Series sweep,
the shame, the indignity of the sweep. And they pull
(02:41):
away late eleven to four of the final as the
Yankees beat the Dodgers, and that means we will get
a Game five in the World Series. Now, Freddie Freeman
homered for the six straight series. That goes back to
his days with the Atlanta Broys back in the good
old days. For Freddie had a two run drive in
the first inning, and that was the second consecutive game
(03:04):
he started with a two run home You remember in
game one, what do you do? Oh? Hit a Grand Slam. However,
Dave Roberts went with the was it the f list bullpen?
The patchwork bullpen? Oh my god? Could not get it done.
Austin Wells Glaber Torres added home runs later for the Yankees,
who broke open the game. They had a five run
(03:25):
eighth inning, and the Yankees, coming in to that situation
on Tuesday night, had scored just seven runs the first
three games of the World Series. But the better story
is in the losing locker room, and so that is
where we will focus. Let us discuss the question thumbs
up or thumbs down? Are you surprised by the Dave
(03:50):
Roberts Dodgers getting smoked by the Yankees in Game four
of the World Series. So I've got Township, Atonement, and FedEx,
and we will combine all of these things together, and
we are going to make a bucket of stale popcorn,
(04:11):
which is what I would describe the Dodger bullpen game
as a bucket of stale pop Feels sick, Yeah, they
should feel sick. Now, as far as the thumbs up
thumbs down question, in terms of surprise that the Dodgers
got smoked by the Yankees and Game four, I'm gonna
go thumbs down. I would have been surprised if the
Dodgers had won, even with the early Freddie Freeman home run.
(04:33):
Dave Roberts is a term for this, It's the football term.
Dave Roberts punted. Dave Roberts punted on a World Series game. Now,
will that come back to haunt and probably not? Probably not.
But that's the naked truth, right, And as it says
in the Bible, you live by the bullpen game, you
die by the bullpen game. And the Dodgers were juggling
live hand grenades and juggle enough hand grenades long enough
(04:57):
and call boom. And they didn't even go with their
premium level bullpen. They went with a motley crew of
relievers and we know how that ended up. Just about everyone.
This is my pet peeve with these fu gayzy bullpen games.
Everyone has to be almost perfect. You can have maybe
(05:17):
one guy be off a little bit and how did
that work out? Yeah? Everyone needed to be perfect? Well, yeah, yeah,
you go go ask a friend, Daniel Hudson. He was
out there and he was riding the vomit comet with
Brent Honeywell late in the game. They were both staying
at a little bed and breakfast in the township of
(05:39):
the Terrible for the Dodgers out of the bullpen. They
combined those two combined to allow nine earned runs in
just two innings of work. Bullpen game. Bullpen game Now.
Hudson set the tone by giving up the Grand Salami,
get out the Rye bread and the mustard, Grandma Volpi,
the Grand Slam relatively early in the game. The Dodgers
(06:02):
were still in the game. They had chipped away, they
were in the game when Honeywell came in. And you know,
the name is appropriate because I don't know this for sure,
maybe I'm making it up, but I'm pretty confident that
Brent Honeywell was driving the honey Wagon right into the
Harlem River to make sure they had no shot there
(06:22):
the Dodgers. If you don't know what a honey wagon is,
just look it up. It was painful. And listen the
way I look at this. Dave Roberts gave the game.
He didn't want to win that game. He didn't try
and if they won, he would have been happy. But
he did not approach that like, hey, we can't give
the Yankees any life. He didn't approach it that way.
There was this arrogance. There was this hey, we're so
(06:44):
better than the Maybe they are. Maybe they are just
that much better the Dodgers and the Yankees. They can
futz away a game in the World Series. I wouldn't
have done it. I would have tried for the sweep.
They weren't even trying for the sweep. And it was pathetic.
It was absolutely pathetic, and it was painful to watch.
And the Dodgers deserve to lose the game. The only
(07:05):
time I want to see a bullpen game is in
the Cactus League or the Grapefruit League. I don't want
to see it in the World Series. It's unbecoming, it's embarrassing.
It's bush league. And I hope every team that pitches
a bullpen game loses, and so that's the way I
look at it. Just stop. If enough teams lose with
these bullpen games, they're going to stop. Now we turn
(07:27):
the page. So, in terms of looking ahead to the
game coming up here on Wednesday, who needs to step
up for the Doyers in Game five? Now this is
rather obvious. You don't need some blowhard on the radio
to tell you that this game starts on the shoulders
of Jack Flaherity. He gets the ball very wobbly, Jack Flaherity.
(07:48):
He was solid in Game one of the Fall Classic,
although he was not the reason the Dodgers won. They
won because of Freddie Freeman hitting that Grand Slam. He also, though,
had a And here's the concern. Jack Flarherty is a
guy that you think is just not that tough. He's
a soft guy. He can't handle the road environment. Now
(08:09):
hopefully he'll prove me wrong, but I have him on
my big board as a mister softy. I saw him
go out there against the Mets in the Nationallygue Championship
Series and urinate down his leg in that start. But
this is an opportunity. I look at this start on
Wednesday night against the Yankees in the Bronx as a
(08:30):
day of atonement for Jack Flaherty. He can make amends
and prove that he is not a mister softy, that
he can't handle a road playoff spot in a somewhat
hostile environment, and overcome what is perceived to be his
reputation that he cannot pitch as hiccups on the road
and that he's like a baby that needs to be burped.
(08:51):
But outside of Flarity, it would be nice. I'm just
saying it would be nice if you're the Dodgers to
see Max Munsei, Ti, Oscar Hernandez start warming things up
a little bit. These guys have for the most part
been chilly willy, and so I'd like to see that
gick going a little bit. Now, the last word on
the other side, Now this is not the better story,
(09:12):
but it's the other side of the field. How are
things looking for Aaron Boone's New York Yankees at this point?
So the Yankees, if you look, they're not dead. They're
they're facing their last rites at this point. Here there's
a priest and a rabbi in there, and they're kind
of waiting around for the end. But there is a
faint pulse. There's a little bit of a faint pulse
(09:34):
for the Yankees. There's no margin for error. Now, I
was not impressed with the Yankees' performance on Tuesday night.
He said, well, why would you not be a presday
won by a thousand runs? As I explained, and then
me explain for those of you a lill late to
the party in the back of the room there who
need to adjust your hearing aids. You know who you are.
(09:56):
This game on Tuesday night was a FedEx situation. All
Aaron Boone and the Yankees had to do was simply
sign their signature for the delivery the Dodgers delivered. It is,
here's a gift, here's a room service delivery. Just show up,
collect a win. They send out their flimsy relief pitchers,
(10:17):
that flimsy part of the Dodger bullpen. Now this is
still on track for a gentleman's sweep. Now. The bad
news for the Brox Bombers also is not only did
they just be given a game by the doubt, they
haven't won a legitimate World Series game yet this year.
But there is no such thing as momentum. There is
the only mo Is Uncle Moe who lives over in Brooklyn.
(10:40):
He's not living in the Bronx. But there is no momentum.
Garrett Cole is pitching in Game five, and he is
not mister lockdown October shutdown pitcher. He's not. He's spotty.
He's spotty in playoff games. And so I look at it.
It's still sunshine and lollypops for the Dodgers, and it's
still doom and gloom for the Yankees. This Yankee team
(11:03):
is not coming back to win this series. So it's
a matter of when the Dodgers are going to win,
not if the Dodgers are going to win. They're going
to win the championship. Is do they do it at
Yankee Stadium, which would be more fun to pour salt
on the wound of those elitist Wall Street Yankee fans,
or do they do it in for their own fans
(11:25):
at Dodgers Stadium and have a mad house at Chavez Ravine.
That's really the only question. But they're gonna win. It's
just a matter of when Dave Roberts, I guess he
got it out of his system. He wanted to give
the Mets a game. He gave them a game. They
give the Yankees a game, actually give the Mets two games,
and so we'll see where we go from here.

Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on

big game of another hour of the Ben Malors Show.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
We are in the air everywhere beside one another, as
we have the hottest beats around unless we don't coast
to coast, board to the border and beyond open all
night on the.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Vast and scorchingly powerful microphones of FSR M moinating live
from the wing on a wing and a prayer. We
are broadcasting live from the Tyraq dot com studios. Tyract
dot com will help you get there at unmatched selection,
fast free shipping, free road hazard protection and over ten
(12:41):
thousand recommended installers. Tirac dot com the Way tire Buying,
shoe b And we are back at it again. The
World Series will go to a game number five, so
we don't have to obsess with that. The Yankees one
good news saved one hundred and fifty million dollars in
add money by that series going to Game five. But
(13:03):
our lead this hour from the carousel, the quarterback carousel.
The wings of change are blowing in Indy. And if
you have not heard, perhaps not, we learned that the
Colts have decided to pull the plug on there forever quarterback.
There number one drafted quarterback, he was first round pick
(13:27):
in twenty back in twenty twenty three, Anthony Richardson, and
they are instead turning to veteran Joe Flacco. That's right,
Joe Flacco. Blaco will be the starting quarterback this weekend. Now,
the coaches for the Colts met on Tuesday morning and
ultimately they decided to make the change. They opted for
(13:49):
the the ro ton, not rotn that what's the word.
I'm the seasoned Flaco. He's not fat, the season Flaco
over the incomp n Richardson. Now, those plugged into the
situation say Richardson pretty devastated by the demotion. And that
is the meaty part of the story, that that line
(14:14):
right there, that Richardson is pretty devastated by the demotion.
So let us discuss the question. Anthony Richardson the devastation
of it all by his indie benching. Can you explain why?
Can you explain why? So I've got browsing, spice rack,
and sumo, and we will combine all of these things
(14:36):
together and we are going to make the cough button,
which I'm going to hit right now. All right, So
number why, Anthony Richardson must think that he's living in
some kind of a video game. The Colts quarterback must
think he's living in some kind of video game if
(14:57):
he is stunned and devastated by this move. In fact,
I would argue, and I said this earlier on in
the show, but I'm going to repeat it for those
of you late to the room. The coach did not
bench Anthony Richardson. He benched himself. This is a loss
of rank by the player, not the team, because Richardson
(15:18):
had been absolute crap all season, but yet they kept
rolling him out there, despite all the incomplete passes, they
kept sending him out there. And the reason he got
benched was because he said I want to go to
the bench. Richardson not only a quarterback. He was terrible
and there's no other way to say it, no signs
(15:39):
of improvement. And yet there are the quarterback apologists out
there is oh, you go to raw deal? How exactly
did you get a raw deal? The NFL is not
a developmental league. It's not. They give you an opportunity.
You have to show some signs of progress. If you don't,
you're out your neck deep and Quicksand that's what Richard.
(16:01):
It's one thing to be bad, right, It's one thing
to be bad and learn on the job. It's another
thing to go a wall. And that's what happened here.
Richardson asked to come out of Sunday's game against the
Texans for there was one play, but the optics on
this are terrible. He then told the media's ovs tired. Now,
a lot of you boys are former military. Some of
(16:21):
you are in the military right now. And you know
if you're you serve time in the United States military.
There's a term they have for someone that does what
Richardson did. It's called a dereliction of duties. Richardson abandoned
his post. And you said, it's only one play. But
I'll bet you there's other guys on the Colts and
every team in the NFL that are tired and would
like to come out of the game. But they don't
(16:42):
do it because you're not supposed to do. It's a
war of attrition. Now, internally, the Colts are telling all
their buddies in the media. They're like, oh, Thisten Richardson.
You know, he's still got his time. He's still the
quarterback of the future. His time is not over. One
report that I read said the benching was a I
love this, a growth opera, tunity, a growth opportunity for Richardson,
(17:03):
and they insisted that the Colts are not quitting on Anthony.
So I ask you the question, I'll answer first, are
the Colts getting out of Anthony Richardson business? So the
answer I'm not in my heyes, at the very least,
what they're doing is browsing. They're doing some window shopping.
They're surfing around the internet. They're looking for a deal
(17:26):
right seeing what's available. Richardson is no longer in the
bubble of trust, not that he was actually in it ever,
but he was at least part of the inner circle.
And he's got nobody to blame but himself. Now, Joe
Flacco is not the long term answer. And people always
freak out, Well, you don't have your forever quarterback live
in the moment. Okay, the Colts are living in the moment,
(17:48):
and I'm okay with it. Now. Speaking of living in
the moment, we headed Jersey page number two and that
is where the Jets will take on the Texans, another
primetime game for the Jets. They continue to shove them
down our throats. I mean, can somebody call an audible?
Please my god. Anyway, the Jets are playing the Texans
on Thursday night to kick off Week nine in the NFL.
(18:10):
The interim coach will have no chance of being the
permanent coach, jeff Olbrick. He commented on his star defensive
back who's got a big mouth and also apparently lacking
some football talent lately, Sauce Gardener. So jeff Oldbrick commented
the interim coach about Sauce Gardner's tackling needs to get better.
(18:35):
So question, how does that one hit you? That the coach,
interim coach of the Jets publicly put his name on
Sauce Gardener and the poor tackling. So this is what's
known as easy peasy, right if you look at the
spice rack, you ever had bad sauce, you know? So
it just doesn't hit you right, you know what I'm
talking about. Yeah, exactly, So you need to add, you know,
(18:57):
maybe some onions. I like garlic. I had a little
more garlic, other herbs, whatever, dress it up. Uh, that's
what's going on. Sauce Gardner's got the name. His game
is lacking, though, and they they've been having these conversations.
I always say, with these stories, and I'm never wrong
about these stories when it gets public, when it bubbles
(19:18):
up to the service like this, when it's up at
the service, how long has this been going on internally? Right,
They've been having these conversations behind closed doors for some time.
And now Olbrick is saying the quiet part out loud.
It's not easier, right, interim coach, You're not long for
the Jets. That's a star player. But the facts are
the facts, and the numbers back up that Sauce Gardner
(19:40):
has been just a Jabbroni out there, just a guy.
Gardner a missing tackle a rate this year almost twenty
five percent twenty three point three percent mistackle rate that
is the seventh worst among all defensive backs in the NFL,
the seventh worst miss tackle rate. He's a matador ole
(20:02):
ole ole Yeah, that's what he is. He's a matter.
Now he's mistackles more than twice as often as his
previous career average prior to this year. So there is
a problem. No one's going to cry an ocean for
Sauce Gardner. He's got a big mouth, and he's very
popular on the social media and all that is not
exactly living up to his star status. Not final point.
(20:25):
We pivot to pro bouncy ball and a very bizarre
story that a listener in Boston sent me, and I said,
you know what, this is right in my wheelhouse. God,
bless you, God, thank you for this. So during an
appearance on the home of the Ben Mallers Show in
the Commonwealth ninety eight to five the Sports Hub Joe
(20:47):
Mizzoula coach Joe Joe Missoula, he was asked, hey, rather
benign question. Joe Mosulau was asked what rule changes would
you like to see in the NBA? And he answered
the question. Now, he didn't say, hey, I'd like to
see a sixth foul or I like to see three technicals. No,
(21:07):
Joe Mizula asked what rule changes he would like to
see in the NBA, he said, hey, why don't we
add power plays and in game fights to the NBA.
Let me repeat that. Joe Mosula, coach of the reigning
champions of the NBA, and I'm pretty sure he wasn't
kidding here. I'm pretty sure he wasn't kidding said he
(21:30):
would like to see the NBA add power plays and
in game fights. Are you on board? How about why
plus E plus s? What does that? Yes? Yes? Yes?
What does that spell? All? Right? This is the epitome
of coloring outside the lines. Now, sure, as Missoula said,
(21:53):
it's entertainment and show business. Now, it's pretty much his point,
But man, I want to have what he's saying. He's
having his own tea. Part, he's what he's had. He's
guzzling that ayahuasca tea from the Amazon is what he's
doing here. And I recommend Now you're gonna have in
game fighting, you got to keep it somewhat safe. So
how about those inflatable sumo suits and you pause the
(22:14):
game for five good minutes and right at mid court
you put it in a little ring. You have the
cheer squad, bring out a ring, and you have the
sumo suits and player A versus player B for five
minutes and they can bump bellies. They can just go
head to head bumping bellies in those inflatable sumo suits.
How about this idea power slap cross promotion, NBA power Slap.
(22:38):
You set a table up, a card table right over
the mid court logo, and you adjudicate the beefs by
having each player sit there and slap each other right
at mid court. Yeah, that's what. Why not? Now as
far as the power plays, Joe Mozula said, there should
be power plays where on a technical foul instead of
(22:59):
a technical being where you just get the ball out
of bounds in a foul shot. He said, you play
five on four for five seconds or three passes. So
five on four for five seconds or three passes. He
wasn't kidding about them. Joe Mozula, Sleepy Joe, let him
play Joe. Joe Mozula there, coach of the Celtics, And
(23:21):
that's a great idea. Of course, I would argue that
the NBA being objective here, they already play five on
four quite a bit because normally one of the five
players on defense is sleeping. They're in zombie mode. And
remember the Celtics coach Joe Mizula. He scoffs at all
the talk about media pressure. We didn't make a big
(23:42):
deal about this on the show back when he said
it a couple of weeks ago. But Joe Mozula talked
about all the pressure of the Celtics to repeat and
all that. He said, well, it doesn't there's no pressure
because we'll all be dead soon. That was his quote.
Joe Mosula. He wants the NBA to add fighting and
the power play power play. I remember a couple of
(24:02):
years ago they were legitimately talking about adding a four
point line, that that was something they were considering, and
I haven't heard much about that recently. It just depends.
If the ratings keep going down in the NBA, people
aren't watching on television, they'll do something to spice it up.
It'll be some kind of alteration to make it more
interesting to try to get people engaged to watch. They
(24:23):
got that for gazy in season tournament bull crap that
should be starting here soon, that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller

Speaker 5 (24:53):
That's right, you heard the man. It's time for love night.
Here on the Ben Mallers show Ben what we got
in the inbo.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
All right, lorain in a very goofy mood here, this
will be very interesting. I cannot wait to see some
of these answers. JT. The Wingman has been to the
last three Malor meet and greets and says he's flying
into Kansas City for the Malor meet and greet. We're
doing not this weekend, but next weekend, says He says.
At what point in the relationship should I introduce my
(25:23):
girlfriend to my wife? That's a great question, guys. Always
you guys are always struggling when is the right time
to have the wife meet the girlfriend. What do you
recommend that.
Speaker 5 (25:33):
You know, that is a hard one, Ben, because depending
on your wife, she may be into you having a
girlfriend or she may not like it at all.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Yeah, she'd call a lawyer.
Speaker 5 (25:43):
Yeah, yeah, So if you don't care about your wife's feelings,
you can introduce your girlfriend whatever time you want. If
you really want to be a player and play all
your cards straight. You don't tell your wife about your girlfriend,
but your girlfriend know about your wife.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Okay, well, great advice yet again, Lorena, I mean my god.
Remember then it's a show called Lovelne with Doctor Drew.
It's even better this advice here, I forty ian writes
in she says, if a heart attack victim or he says,
if a heart attack victim has been given the all
clear to resume marital relations with his wife by his cardiologist,
but his wife is scared that he'll die on her
(26:18):
if they do. How would you be convened to resume
said adult relations?
Speaker 5 (26:25):
Now that is complicated, Okay, same with fornicating right after birth. Right,
you got to find a good time that it's actually
appropriate for you. But the worst case scenario is that
you die on top of your wife and she doesn't
want to be scarred like that.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
Bro.
Speaker 5 (26:40):
So if you want to do better, be better and work
out more, make sure that your heart can handle whatever
she puts.
Speaker 4 (26:46):
Down on you.
Speaker 5 (26:47):
Bro.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Wow, all right, bro, okay, I forty I in. Or
you can just follow JT. The Wingman's advice and give
him sure he's got it and yeah, go ahead, there.
Speaker 5 (26:54):
She's a wingman.
Speaker 4 (26:55):
He's got all the side plays.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
Right, Cowboy Killer writes in Boy He's a great questions.
Is it okay for a couple in a relationship to
give each other hall passes? That's a great one.
Speaker 5 (27:07):
I like to go to the bathroom.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
No. Now, there used to be an NBA player Andre Kirolinko,
this Russian guy, and one day a year he was
allowed to go out and stoop somebody else.
Speaker 5 (27:19):
Okay, yeah, no. Hall passes are fun if you're in
high school. But let's just if you want to have
an open relationship, have an open relationship, all right.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
Dan GE's in Connecticut. He's on the phones. Dan, you're
on with Lorraine. It's the Queen of Hearts. Dan, Sorry,
cooptain pressure button. What I'm here? Yeah you are? What's up?
You sound very excited?
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Yeah you know, I'm just coming over work?
Speaker 1 (27:47):
But uh yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
Why do dating apps.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Suck so much?
Speaker 5 (27:50):
Oh my gosh, I hate dating apps of the passion.
Get off my phone, bro, they're the worst. They're the worst.
So you can't meet anyone like real genuine on there.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
It's hard.
Speaker 5 (28:01):

we are to save the night and our lead this hour.
Don't bury the lead, my man. All right, we're not.
We're gonna start out play the hits in the Bronx.
That was the theater. It was off Broadway and off
Broadway performance baseball. Was this the final baseball game of
twenty twenty four? Game four, the World Series Dodgers. They
(01:55):
were holding a broom ready to sweep away the Yankees.
He had John Smoltz and Joe Davis had to call
on Fox and everyone all dressed up ready to party.
And if you saw the game or not, but wait
another day. Anthony Volpi a third Inny grand Salami, and
that overcame the early two run bomb by Freddie Freeman,
(02:20):
who did it again, he said, a World Series record
for consecutive home runs the Yankees. Though the only time
you ever used the word stave is in sports. The
New York Yankees staved off elimination. They didn't hold off elimination.
They staved off elimination. They avoid the World Series sweep,
the shame, the indignity of the sweep. And they pull
(02:41):
away late eleven to four of the final as the
Yankees beat the Dodgers, and that means we will get
a Game five in the World Series. Now, Freddie Freeman
homered for the six straight series. That goes back to
his days with the Atlanta Broys back in the good
old days. For Freddie had a two run drive in
the first inning, and that was the second consecutive game
(03:04):
he started with a two run home You remember in
game one, what do you do? Oh? Hit a Grand Slam. However,
Dave Roberts went with the was it the f list bullpen?
The patchwork bullpen? Oh my god? Could not get it done.
Austin Wells Glaber Torres added home runs later for the Yankees,
who broke open the game. They had a five run
(03:25):
eighth inning, and the Yankees, coming in to that situation
on Tuesday night, had scored just seven runs the first
three games of the World Series. But the better story
is in the losing locker room, and so that is
where we will focus. Let us discuss the question thumbs
up or thumbs down? Are you surprised by the Dave
(03:50):
Roberts Dodgers getting smoked by the Yankees in Game four
of the World Series. So I've got Township, Atonement, and FedEx,
and we will combine all of these things together, and
we are going to make a bucket of stale popcorn,
(04:11):
which is what I would describe the Dodger bullpen game
as a bucket of stale pop Feels sick, Yeah, they
should feel sick. Now, as far as the thumbs up
thumbs down question, in terms of surprise that the Dodgers
got smoked by the Yankees and Game four, I'm gonna
go thumbs down. I would have been surprised if the
Dodgers had won, even with the early Freddie Freeman home run.
(04:33):
Dave Roberts is a term for this, It's the football term.
Dave Roberts punted. Dave Roberts punted on a World Series game. Now,
will that come back to haunt and probably not? Probably not.
But that's the naked truth, right, And as it says
in the Bible, you live by the bullpen game, you
die by the bullpen game. And the Dodgers were juggling
live hand grenades and juggle enough hand grenades long enough
(04:57):
and call boom. And they didn't even go with their
premium level bullpen. They went with a motley crew of
relievers and we know how that ended up. Just about everyone.
This is my pet peeve with these fu gayzy bullpen games.
Everyone has to be almost perfect. You can have maybe
(05:17):
one guy be off a little bit and how did
that work out? Yeah? Everyone needed to be perfect? Well, yeah, yeah,
you go go ask a friend, Daniel Hudson. He was
out there and he was riding the vomit comet with
Brent Honeywell late in the game. They were both staying
at a little bed and breakfast in the township of
(05:39):
the Terrible for the Dodgers out of the bullpen. They
combined those two combined to allow nine earned runs in
just two innings of work. Bullpen game. Bullpen game Now.
Hudson set the tone by giving up the Grand Salami,
get out the Rye bread and the mustard, Grandma Volpi,
the Grand Slam relatively early in the game. The Dodgers
(06:02):
were still in the game. They had chipped away, they
were in the game when Honeywell came in. And you know,
the name is appropriate because I don't know this for sure,
maybe I'm making it up, but I'm pretty confident that
Brent Honeywell was driving the honey Wagon right into the
Harlem River to make sure they had no shot there
(06:22):
the Dodgers. If you don't know what a honey wagon is,
just look it up. It was painful. And listen the
way I look at this. Dave Roberts gave the game.
He didn't want to win that game. He didn't try
and if they won, he would have been happy. But
he did not approach that like, hey, we can't give
the Yankees any life. He didn't approach it that way.
There was this arrogance. There was this hey, we're so
(06:44):
better than the Maybe they are. Maybe they are just
that much better the Dodgers and the Yankees. They can
futz away a game in the World Series. I wouldn't
have done it. I would have tried for the sweep.
They weren't even trying for the sweep. And it was pathetic.
It was absolutely pathetic, and it was painful to watch.
And the Dodgers deserve to lose the game. The only
(07:05):
time I want to see a bullpen game is in
the Cactus League or the Grapefruit League. I don't want
to see it in the World Series. It's unbecoming, it's embarrassing.
It's bush league. And I hope every team that pitches
a bullpen game loses, and so that's the way I
look at it. Just stop. If enough teams lose with
these bullpen games, they're going to stop. Now we turn
(07:27):
the page. So, in terms of looking ahead to the
game coming up here on Wednesday, who needs to step
up for the Doyers in Game five? Now this is
rather obvious. You don't need some blowhard on the radio
to tell you that this game starts on the shoulders
of Jack Flaherity. He gets the ball very wobbly, Jack Flaherity.
(07:48):
He was solid in Game one of the Fall Classic,
although he was not the reason the Dodgers won. They
won because of Freddie Freeman hitting that Grand Slam. He also, though,
had a And here's the concern. Jack Flarherty is a
guy that you think is just not that tough. He's
a soft guy. He can't handle the road environment. Now
(08:09):
hopefully he'll prove me wrong, but I have him on
my big board as a mister softy. I saw him
go out there against the Mets in the Nationallygue Championship
Series and urinate down his leg in that start. But
this is an opportunity. I look at this start on
Wednesday night against the Yankees in the Bronx as a
(08:30):
day of atonement for Jack Flaherty. He can make amends
and prove that he is not a mister softy, that
he can't handle a road playoff spot in a somewhat
hostile environment, and overcome what is perceived to be his
reputation that he cannot pitch as hiccups on the road
and that he's like a baby that needs to be burped.
(08:51):
But outside of Flarity, it would be nice. I'm just
saying it would be nice if you're the Dodgers to
see Max Munsei, Ti, Oscar Hernandez start warming things up
a little bit. These guys have for the most part
been chilly willy, and so I'd like to see that
gick going a little bit. Now, the last word on
the other side, Now this is not the better story,
(09:12):
but it's the other side of the field. How are
things looking for Aaron Boone's New York Yankees at this point?
So the Yankees, if you look, they're not dead. They're
they're facing their last rites at this point. Here there's
a priest and a rabbi in there, and they're kind
of waiting around for the end. But there is a
faint pulse. There's a little bit of a faint pulse
(09:34):
for the Yankees. There's no margin for error. Now, I
was not impressed with the Yankees' performance on Tuesday night.
He said, well, why would you not be a presday
won by a thousand runs? As I explained, and then
me explain for those of you a lill late to
the party in the back of the room there who
need to adjust your hearing aids. You know who you are.
(09:56):
This game on Tuesday night was a FedEx situation. All
Aaron Boone and the Yankees had to do was simply
sign their signature for the delivery the Dodgers delivered. It is,
here's a gift, here's a room service delivery. Just show up,
collect a win. They send out their flimsy relief pitchers,
(10:17):
that flimsy part of the Dodger bullpen. Now this is
still on track for a gentleman's sweep. Now. The bad
news for the Brox Bombers also is not only did
they just be given a game by the doubt, they
haven't won a legitimate World Series game yet this year.
But there is no such thing as momentum. There is
the only mo Is Uncle Moe who lives over in Brooklyn.
(10:40):
He's not living in the Bronx. But there is no momentum.
Garrett Cole is pitching in Game five, and he is
not mister lockdown October shutdown pitcher. He's not. He's spotty.
He's spotty in playoff games. And so I look at it.
It's still sunshine and lollypops for the Dodgers, and it's
still doom and gloom for the Yankees. This Yankee team
(11:03):
is not coming back to win this series. So it's
a matter of when the Dodgers are going to win,
not if the Dodgers are going to win. They're going
to win the championship. Is do they do it at
Yankee Stadium, which would be more fun to pour salt
on the wound of those elitist Wall Street Yankee fans,
or do they do it in for their own fans
(11:25):
at Dodgers Stadium and have a mad house at Chavez Ravine.
That's really the only question. But they're gonna win. It's
just a matter of when Dave Roberts, I guess he
got it out of his system. He wanted to give
the Mets a game. He gave them a game. They
give the Yankees a game, actually give the Mets two games,
and so we'll see where we go from here.

shoe b And we are back at it again. The
World Series will go to a game number five, so
we don't have to obsess with that. The Yankees one
good news saved one hundred and fifty million dollars in
add money by that series going to Game five. But
(13:03):
our lead this hour from the carousel, the quarterback carousel.
The wings of change are blowing in Indy. And if
you have not heard, perhaps not, we learned that the
Colts have decided to pull the plug on there forever quarterback.
There number one drafted quarterback, he was first round pick
(13:27):
in twenty back in twenty twenty three, Anthony Richardson, and
they are instead turning to veteran Joe Flacco. That's right,
Joe Flacco. Blaco will be the starting quarterback this weekend. Now,
the coaches for the Colts met on Tuesday morning and
ultimately they decided to make the change. They opted for
(13:49):
the the ro ton, not rotn that what's the word.
I'm the seasoned Flaco. He's not fat, the season Flaco
over the incomp n Richardson. Now, those plugged into the
situation say Richardson pretty devastated by the demotion. And that
is the meaty part of the story, that that line
(14:14):
right there, that Richardson is pretty devastated by the demotion.
So let us discuss the question. Anthony Richardson the devastation
of it all by his indie benching. Can you explain why?
Can you explain why? So I've got browsing, spice rack,
and sumo, and we will combine all of these things
(14:36):
together and we are going to make the cough button,
which I'm going to hit right now. All right, So
number why, Anthony Richardson must think that he's living in
some kind of a video game. The Colts quarterback must
think he's living in some kind of video game if
(14:57):
he is stunned and devastated by this move. In fact,
I would argue, and I said this earlier on in
the show, but I'm going to repeat it for those
of you late to the room. The coach did not
bench Anthony Richardson. He benched himself. This is a loss
of rank by the player, not the team, because Richardson
(15:18):
had been absolute crap all season, but yet they kept
rolling him out there, despite all the incomplete passes, they
kept sending him out there. And the reason he got
benched was because he said I want to go to
the bench. Richardson not only a quarterback. He was terrible
and there's no other way to say it, no signs
(15:39):
of improvement. And yet there are the quarterback apologists out
there is oh, you go to raw deal? How exactly
did you get a raw deal? The NFL is not
a developmental league. It's not. They give you an opportunity.
You have to show some signs of progress. If you don't,
you're out your neck deep and Quicksand that's what Richard.
(16:01):
It's one thing to be bad, right, It's one thing
to be bad and learn on the job. It's another
thing to go a wall. And that's what happened here.
Richardson asked to come out of Sunday's game against the
Texans for there was one play, but the optics on
this are terrible. He then told the media's ovs tired. Now,
a lot of you boys are former military. Some of
(16:21):
you are in the military right now. And you know
if you're you serve time in the United States military.
There's a term they have for someone that does what
Richardson did. It's called a dereliction of duties. Richardson abandoned
his post. And you said, it's only one play. But
I'll bet you there's other guys on the Colts and
every team in the NFL that are tired and would
like to come out of the game. But they don't
(16:42):
do it because you're not supposed to do. It's a
war of attrition. Now, internally, the Colts are telling all
their buddies in the media. They're like, oh, Thisten Richardson.
You know, he's still got his time. He's still the
quarterback of the future. His time is not over. One
report that I read said the benching was a I
love this, a growth opera, tunity, a growth opportunity for Richardson,
(17:03):
and they insisted that the Colts are not quitting on Anthony.
So I ask you the question, I'll answer first, are
the Colts getting out of Anthony Richardson business? So the
answer I'm not in my heyes, at the very least,
what they're doing is browsing. They're doing some window shopping.
They're surfing around the internet. They're looking for a deal
(17:26):
right seeing what's available. Richardson is no longer in the
bubble of trust, not that he was actually in it ever,
but he was at least part of the inner circle.
And he's got nobody to blame but himself. Now, Joe
Flacco is not the long term answer. And people always
freak out, Well, you don't have your forever quarterback live
in the moment. Okay, the Colts are living in the moment,
(17:48):
and I'm okay with it. Now. Speaking of living in
the moment, we headed Jersey page number two and that
is where the Jets will take on the Texans, another
primetime game for the Jets. They continue to shove them
down our throats. I mean, can somebody call an audible?
Please my god. Anyway, the Jets are playing the Texans
on Thursday night to kick off Week nine in the NFL.
(18:10):
The interim coach will have no chance of being the
permanent coach, jeff Olbrick. He commented on his star defensive
back who's got a big mouth and also apparently lacking
some football talent lately, Sauce Gardener. So jeff Oldbrick commented
the interim coach about Sauce Gardner's tackling needs to get better.
(18:35):
So question, how does that one hit you? That the coach,
interim coach of the Jets publicly put his name on
Sauce Gardener and the poor tackling. So this is what's
known as easy peasy, right if you look at the
spice rack, you ever had bad sauce, you know? So
it just doesn't hit you right, you know what I'm
talking about. Yeah, exactly, So you need to add, you know,
(18:57):
maybe some onions. I like garlic. I had a little
more garlic, other herbs, whatever, dress it up. Uh, that's
what's going on. Sauce Gardner's got the name. His game
is lacking, though, and they they've been having these conversations.
I always say, with these stories, and I'm never wrong
about these stories when it gets public, when it bubbles
(19:18):
up to the service like this, when it's up at
the service, how long has this been going on internally? Right,
They've been having these conversations behind closed doors for some time.
And now Olbrick is saying the quiet part out loud.
It's not easier, right, interim coach, You're not long for
the Jets. That's a star player. But the facts are
the facts, and the numbers back up that Sauce Gardner
(19:40):
has been just a Jabbroni out there, just a guy.
Gardner a missing tackle a rate this year almost twenty
five percent twenty three point three percent mistackle rate that
is the seventh worst among all defensive backs in the NFL,
the seventh worst miss tackle rate. He's a matador ole
(20:02):
ole ole Yeah, that's what he is. He's a matter.
Now he's mistackles more than twice as often as his
previous career average prior to this year. So there is
a problem. No one's going to cry an ocean for
Sauce Gardner. He's got a big mouth, and he's very
popular on the social media and all that is not
exactly living up to his star status. Not final point.
(20:25):
We pivot to pro bouncy ball and a very bizarre
story that a listener in Boston sent me, and I said,
you know what, this is right in my wheelhouse. God,
bless you, God, thank you for this. So during an
appearance on the home of the Ben Mallers Show in
the Commonwealth ninety eight to five the Sports Hub Joe
(20:47):
Mizzoula coach Joe Joe Missoula, he was asked, hey, rather
benign question. Joe Mosulau was asked what rule changes would
you like to see in the NBA? And he answered
the question. Now, he didn't say, hey, I'd like to
see a sixth foul or I like to see three technicals. No,
(21:07):
Joe Mizula asked what rule changes he would like to
see in the NBA, he said, hey, why don't we
add power plays and in game fights to the NBA.
Let me repeat that. Joe Mosula, coach of the reigning
champions of the NBA, and I'm pretty sure he wasn't
kidding here. I'm pretty sure he wasn't kidding said he
(21:30):
would like to see the NBA add power plays and
in game fights. Are you on board? How about why
plus E plus s? What does that? Yes? Yes? Yes?
What does that spell? All? Right? This is the epitome
of coloring outside the lines. Now, sure, as Missoula said,
(21:53):
it's entertainment and show business. Now, it's pretty much his point,
But man, I want to have what he's saying. He's
having his own tea. Part, he's what he's had. He's
guzzling that ayahuasca tea from the Amazon is what he's
doing here. And I recommend Now you're gonna have in
game fighting, you got to keep it somewhat safe. So
how about those inflatable sumo suits and you pause the
(22:14):
game for five good minutes and right at mid court
you put it in a little ring. You have the
cheer squad, bring out a ring, and you have the
sumo suits and player A versus player B for five
minutes and they can bump bellies. They can just go
head to head bumping bellies in those inflatable sumo suits.
How about this idea power slap cross promotion, NBA power Slap.
(22:38):
You set a table up, a card table right over
the mid court logo, and you adjudicate the beefs by
having each player sit there and slap each other right
at mid court. Yeah, that's what. Why not? Now as
far as the power plays, Joe Mozula said, there should
be power plays where on a technical foul instead of
(22:59):
a technical being where you just get the ball out
of bounds in a foul shot. He said, you play
five on four for five seconds or three passes. So
five on four for five seconds or three passes. He
wasn't kidding about them. Joe Mozula, Sleepy Joe, let him
play Joe. Joe Mozula there, coach of the Celtics, And
(23:21):
that's a great idea. Of course, I would argue that
the NBA being objective here, they already play five on
four quite a bit because normally one of the five
players on defense is sleeping. They're in zombie mode. And
remember the Celtics coach Joe Mizula. He scoffs at all
the talk about media pressure. We didn't make a big
(23:42):
deal about this on the show back when he said
it a couple of weeks ago. But Joe Mozula talked
about all the pressure of the Celtics to repeat and
all that. He said, well, it doesn't there's no pressure
because we'll all be dead soon. That was his quote.
Joe Mosula. He wants the NBA to add fighting and
the power play power play. I remember a couple of
(24:02):
years ago they were legitimately talking about adding a four
point line, that that was something they were considering, and
I haven't heard much about that recently. It just depends.
If the ratings keep going down in the NBA, people
aren't watching on television, they'll do something to spice it up.
It'll be some kind of alteration to make it more
interesting to try to get people engaged to watch. They
(24:23):
got that for gazy in season tournament bull crap that
should be starting here soon, that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 4 (24:37):
It's a Good Boss, Good Little Rain at ten nine
clean up.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
Hearts going to help you.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
Gear Rye, gear Rye and nine gear Rye and nine
dear Rye.
Speaker 5 (24:53):
That's right, you heard the man. It's time for love night.
Here on the Ben Mallers show Ben what we got
in the inbo.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
All right, lorain in a very goofy mood here, this
will be very interesting. I cannot wait to see some
of these answers. JT. The Wingman has been to the
last three Malor meet and greets and says he's flying
into Kansas City for the Malor meet and greet. We're
doing not this weekend, but next weekend, says He says.
At what point in the relationship should I introduce my
(25:23):
girlfriend to my wife? That's a great question, guys. Always
you guys are always struggling when is the right time
to have the wife meet the girlfriend. What do you
recommend that.
Speaker 5 (25:33):
You know, that is a hard one, Ben, because depending
on your wife, she may be into you having a
girlfriend or she may not like it at all.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Yeah, she'd call a lawyer.
Speaker 5 (25:43):
Yeah, yeah, So if you don't care about your wife's feelings,
you can introduce your girlfriend whatever time you want. If
you really want to be a player and play all
your cards straight. You don't tell your wife about your girlfriend,
but your girlfriend know about your wife.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Okay, well, great advice yet again, Lorena, I mean my god.
Remember then it's a show called Lovelne with Doctor Drew.
It's even better this advice here, I forty ian writes
in she says, if a heart attack victim or he says,
if a heart attack victim has been given the all
clear to resume marital relations with his wife by his cardiologist,
but his wife is scared that he'll die on her
(26:18):
if they do. How would you be convened to resume
said adult relations?
Speaker 5 (26:25):
Now that is complicated, Okay, same with fornicating right after birth. Right,
you got to find a good time that it's actually
appropriate for you. But the worst case scenario is that
you die on top of your wife and she doesn't
want to be scarred like that.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
Bro.
Speaker 5 (26:40):
So if you want to do better, be better and work
out more, make sure that your heart can handle whatever
she puts.
Speaker 4 (26:46):
Down on you.
Speaker 5 (26:47):
Bro.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Wow, all right, bro, okay, I forty I in. Or
you can just follow JT. The Wingman's advice and give
him sure he's got it and yeah, go ahead, there.
Speaker 5 (26:54):
She's a wingman.
Speaker 4 (26:55):
He's got all the side plays.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
Right, Cowboy Killer writes in Boy He's a great questions.
Is it okay for a couple in a relationship to
give each other hall passes? That's a great one.
Speaker 5 (27:07):
I like to go to the bathroom.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
No. Now, there used to be an NBA player Andre Kirolinko,
this Russian guy, and one day a year he was
allowed to go out and stoop somebody else.
Speaker 5 (27:19):
Okay, yeah, no. Hall passes are fun if you're in
high school. But let's just if you want to have
an open relationship, have an open relationship, all right.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
Dan GE's in Connecticut. He's on the phones. Dan, you're

Speaker 2 (27:45):

Speaker 2 (27:48):
Why do dating apps.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Suck so much?
Speaker 5 (27:50):
Oh my gosh, I hate dating apps of the passion.
Get off my phone, bro, they're the worst. They're the worst.
So you can't meet anyone like real genuine on there.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
It's hard.
Speaker 5 (28:01):
I like hearing your voice and knowing what your voice
sounds like. So dating apps just don't work for me.

old cubs before your time, the rate in the calling
things you call up, the dating chat lines and all that.
