Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go. Welcome.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our number one, our one on this Tuesday, happy
twenty ninth day of October, closing in on Halloween. And
it's Game three of the World Series the Dodgers and
the Yankees. Who gets the biggest slice of the blame
pizza for the Yankees who are now on the brink
of elimination down three games to love And where do

(00:26):
the Yankees go from here as they are up against it? Also,
how did Major League Baseball's marketing decision to have Fat
Joe counter ice cube before Game three go over for you?
We'll talk about that. And who knows what else is?
The Dodgers are closing in on the World Series win.
It's coming your way right now in our number one,

(00:49):
oh home field advantage.

Speaker 3 (00:52):
The Boogie down Bronx Nobody walks into Yankee Stadium and
shuts down mighty New York Yankees. Welcome, in the beginning
of another night of the Benvalor Show. We are in

Speaker 1 (01:56):
Very the lead bomb Man.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
By the way, I would like to point out Steven
Manha and who else you have? Uncle Mo and several
others who do not call the show, who are Yankee
fans who some of you know who you are. We're
sending me messages prior to the World Series and even
after games won, and surprisingly Game two of the World
Series telling me that the Dodgers were going to be

(02:18):
terrible in New York, they were not going to do
well at all. I didn't get any follow up Emial.
I'm sure those are coming. Maybe they're waiting till tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
I don't know. But our lead this hour is from
the Bronx zoo. Oh what a grand stage there, the
Big Apple. If you can make it there, you can
make it anywhere. Game three of the.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
World Series, on a chilly night in the Big Apple,
the hobbled Shohei Otani and the Doyers up to oh now,
John Smoltz pointed out on the Fox broadcast, and he
was there with Joe Davis. John Smoltz pointed out that
while it was not a must win game for the Yankees,

(02:58):
it really was a must win game for the Yanks,
right fall classic Aaron Judge home, You'll fall behind three
games to none, and the fat lady's warming up out
in the bullpen and she's not throwing the baseball, if
you know what I'm saying. All right, So if you
did not watch, and maybe you're watching the football game,
I was able to watch both. I was called multitasking.

(03:18):
It's called multitasking. So if you didn't see it. Freddie Freeman,
a guy that went over a month without a home
run near the end of the season, and all of
a sudden, he is the spark plug.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
He is going to be.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
Immortalized forever as the World Series Most Valuable Player. The
way this is going as Freddie Freeman sparking the LA offense,
he had again homeward for a third straight game, two
run shot to get the Dodgers out of the gates.
And then Walker Buehler, who was absolute dog food when

(03:55):
he came back from the second Timmy John surgery of
the season. If you had told me that Walker Buehler
would be this good in the playoffs, considering how he'd
pitched the regular season, I've said, your nuts, you don't
know what you're talking about, your loser, And yet here
we are, Yeah, here we are. Walker Bueller did a
good job of a bullpen. There was one little glitch
at the end there, but other than that, mostly silent

(04:17):
from a futile New York Yankee offense. And the Yankees.
Now I've done the math. I've done the mal of math.
The Yankees have nine hits in the last two games.
That's not good. I didn't play baseball, but that's not good.
And three extra base hits, one of them that home
run by Verdugo in the ninth inning, but the game
was all but over at that point. They've also struck

(04:37):
out a bunch eleven strikeouts in the game on Monday,
four of them looking, four of them looking. And so
the Dodgers find themselves now three games to none. Now,
you don't win the World Series when you win three games.

Speaker 1 (04:52):
You do not.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
And the Dodgers do not have all the momentum. There
is no such thing as momentum. I'm not gonna sit
here and tell you the Dodgers and all the momentum
they don't. But they're up three all they only need
to play well one of the next four games and
they are atop the mountain of Major League Baseball. Now,
this is not going to be as impressive of the
as far as the championship has committed to twenty twenty,
which was the hardest championship ever in the middle of

(05:14):
a global pandemic in a different type of baseball season.
But this will shut up a lot of you losers,
okay that are out there, and that's that's nice.

Speaker 1 (05:23):
That's always nice.

Speaker 2 (05:23):
So let us discuss the question who gets the biggest
slice of the authentic New York blame pizza.

Speaker 1 (05:33):
For the Yankees.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
So I've got jeans, waal of a tail and launching pad,
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are going to make a nice tropical vacation, which
is where your favorite Yankee players will be soon enough,
on a nice tropical vacation. So my first thought here

(05:56):
is you gotta give right off the top half the
pie the entire New York, authentic New York blame pizza Pie.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
You gotta give half of it to Aaron Judge.

Speaker 2 (06:07):
He's the franchise, he's the forever Yankee, and he's living
up to the nickname that hack writer John Hayman gave him,
Arson Judge, because it has been Arson in the postseason
for Aaron Judge time and again, and it was supposed
to be different. You talk about false advertising, a chance
to turn around the narrative, and that old line Reggie

(06:30):
Jackson had back in the day is as long you
got a bat in your hand, you have a chance
to turn the story around. Well, Aaron Judge had a chance,
and he still has a little bit of a chance.
It's not completely completely over, but it's all but over
at this point, and instead he has confirmed it's confirmation
bias if you will, that his name is synonymous with

(06:55):
Dave Winfield, who was known when he played for the
Yankees as mister May, a derogatory nickname that the old boss,
George Steinberner gave Dave Winfield. Now George Steinberg walking through
that door. He's dead, but his kids don't have the
same gusto, right if the kids had the same fire
as George Steinbrenner. Then Aaron Judge would have all kinds

(07:18):
of monikers on his name and until proven otherwise. So
he is mister may He's got defective genes. I have
determined he's lacking the clutch geene. Now what is my evidence?
Judge in twelve World Series at bats is hitting eighty three,
which I believe is an interstate in the Midwest. He's
hitting eighty three, where he's one for twelve in the

(07:38):
World Series with seven strikeouts. He's hitting one forty with
twenty strikeouts in the postseason altogether. And if you look
at the big picture from thirty thousand feet up in
the sky, the presumptive twenty twenty four American League Most
Valuable Player is a lifetime one ninety six hitter. He's
under the Mendoza line with fifteen home runs, thirty one RBIs,

(08:02):
and eighty six strikeouts in his postseason career. Anyway you
slice it, you're getting some poo with Aaron Judge. That's
a reality. But wait, there's more. So page two here,
Where do the Yankees go from now? For now, I
mean the Yankees are down three games to none and
all that, and the series is not over. They still

(08:25):
have to play again on Tuesday. It'll be on Fox.
So for the Yankees, where do the Yankees go from here? Well,
it's a whale of a tail, the old whale of
a tail. So if you're approaching this measurably, you would say, Okay,
how do you eat a whale one bite at a time.
The Dodgers are a blue whale right now, the biggest
whale out there. They take up half the ocean, the

(08:47):
Dodgers massive whale. And so you want to eat that whale.
You got to get one bite a blubber at a time,
one delicious bite of blubber, and chew on that blubber.
And Dave Roberts, now, I'll tell you this, Dave Roberts
has given the Yankees a lifeline. I do not like this.
I hope it works out for the Dodgers, but I

(09:08):
do not like it. Sam I am. I do not
these fugazy bullpen games. I cannot stand them. So you
start with that. If you're the Yankees, now, then I
would have Alex Dugo walk around the New York Yankee
Clubhouse there in the stadium, burning sage, bring out the
special smoke clouds cleansing the area of the negative energy

(09:30):
and the evil spirits that are haunting the Yankees and
clear the way for the comeback. But they're playing for
the Dodgers. Just keep on keeping on at this particular
point here, you finish the race. Be persistent, be determined.
Ohtani is a decoy like his dog. It looks like
he can't hit. It's fine. They can still win one
game without him. They won this game without him, even
though he was in the lineup. He walked one time,

(09:53):
but it's unlikely he's going to get a hit the
way he looked. So as long as he's in there,
that's fine. If you're persistent, you're determined here, you're gonna
win this thing. Probably not in four would be really
nice because the Mighty Yankees, all those championships and all
that championship pedigree for the New York Yankees. The Yankees
have been swept just three times in the World Series

(10:16):
by the twenty two New York Giants, but that doesn't
really count because there was a tie. Yeah, they had
ties back then, one hundred years ago, over one hundred
years ago, nineteen sixty three. Dodgers, the Doyers, the LA
variety of the Dodgers and the nineteen seventy six Big
Red Machine, the Cincinnata Reds.

Speaker 1 (10:35):
That's it.

Speaker 2 (10:36):
So the Dodgers have a shot, not a great one
because they're going with the bullpen game. Uh we call
it spring training game, but that's what they have. On
Tuesday night, they get to win. They sweep the Yankees
out and first time the Yankees will have been swept
in the World Series since nineteen seventy six. And you
normally say that that would cost Aaron Boone his job,

(10:56):
but this is again not the kids. The kids are
running the team here. They're passionate as the old Steinbrenner clan.
So who knows now the last word and number of
you were fascinated by what happened before the game, and
I will try to describe to you what happened.

Speaker 1 (11:13):
Before the game, because it's more of a visual thing.
There is audio.

Speaker 2 (11:17):
But Major League Baseball's marketing arm decided to send out
Fat Joe to entertain That was their counter. If you remember,
at the earlier moment here in the World Series in
LA they had ice Cube come out, and so the
Fat Joe's turned to hype up the crowd. There at
Yankee Stadium before Game three, and he walked out and

(11:39):
had the mic and he was humming bars out there
at Yankee Stadium, And how did that go? So the
way I will answer that is that I'm biased. I
obviously like the Dodgers and all that, but I would
argue that the effort was made, the success of that
effort did not actually did not happen. Now, are the
conspiracy theories true? Because the obvious one would be, Hey,

(12:02):
if you're gonna take somebody out there to just throw
some bars out, you'd get jay z is Now, there
were two theories going around the internet. One is that
jay Z is too big a star to be bothered
to go to a baseball game. The other is he's
too toxic now because he's tied to Diddy, and that
there might be some funny business coming out about jay Z.

Speaker 1 (12:21):
I don't know if any of.

Speaker 2 (12:21):
That's true, but you would think you'd try to get
if you're baseball, wouldn't you try to get jay Z
rather than Fat Joe to do that? But they had
Fat Joe out there, who now looks like oseempic Joe.
He's lost the fair amount of wait. Good for him,
But Baseball. It shows you that not every idea needs
to be following through on because Baseball was all excited,

(12:43):
they got some great pr people were praising them. Ice
Cube absolutely nailed it when he was walking through the
and the outfield down to home play at Dodger Stadium.
I mean he absolutely nailed it right, I mean everyone
with the place was buzzing. People were praising major League Baseball.
Oh my god, this guy was great.

Speaker 1 (13:00):
What a great day.

Speaker 2 (13:01):
And then he had Fat Joe, who they're trying to
piggyback Fat Joe on ice Cube and he went out
there after this critically acclaimed performance and he was on
the launching pad Fat Joe, and it's tough, Max, because
I love fat guys. And he's fat. Although he's lost
a lot of weight, he's always known as fat. And
so Fat Joe's on the launching pad ready to take off,

(13:22):
and it was a dud failure to launch for Fat Joe.
It turns out the sequel is not the equal and underperformance.
Much like the Yankees, that was an omen of things
to come there as hey, he looks good. He's a
tiny Joe, not fat Joe. He's tiny Joe, lost weight, whatever,
he's doing there looks marvelous, much better than his performance,

(13:46):
and that set the stage for the Yankees to go
out there and Clark Schmidt get stomped on by the Dodgers.
And that Yankee pitching, he told me. The Yankees said
better pitching. That's why they play the games. And that's
a reminder that the stats tell you what has happened,
not what's going to happen. It was very erratic. The

(14:07):
Yankees starting pitching, very erratic. The bullpen has been patchy,
and as a result, the Dodgers, the good guys, are
up three games to none in the World Series. If
you'd like to be part eight seven seven ninety nine
on Fox, that's eight seven seven nine nine six six
three sixty nine. Also available for you if you want

(14:28):
to be part of it on the X Machine at
Ben Malor, that is at Ben Malin. Took a lot
of calls, commentary and whatnot as the mighty New York
Yankees are now one loss away from going home the
season over. You're done, could buy nananana, all of that,

(14:54):
all of that, and so we'll take your calls, your comments,
the whole thing will work our way through the entire overnight,
and there is one storyline in particular coming out from
the dysfunction in the Bronx about what this is all
going to mean for the Yankees and the way they

(15:14):
play in the World Series.

Speaker 1 (15:15):
Explain what I mean by that. We'll get to it
and we will do it next.

Speaker 4 (15:21):

Com Fox Sports Radio Studios.

Speaker 1 (16:00):
It's Ben mallor. All is good.

Speaker 2 (16:03):
The Dodgers are one went away from the World Series.
Not good for the trolls. I feel bad for you.
Some of you have completely vanished, and.

Speaker 1 (16:14):
I get it.

Speaker 2 (16:14):
Although I am happy we finally chased away that lunatic
Mark the full name guy.

Speaker 1 (16:19):
He's gone.

Speaker 2 (16:21):
Yeah, it took a long time, but we finally, we
finally were able to pull that one off.

Speaker 1 (16:25):
Dodgers beat the Yankees.

Speaker 2 (16:27):
Yankees are currently facing their last supper on Tuesday in
the Bronx and cannot wait. Cannot wait looking forward to
that on Tuesday night. See if the baseball season comes
to an end, the matchup the Dodgers going with a
bullpen game, Oh my god. And Louis Heel will be

(16:50):
on the mound for the New York Yankees as the
Yankees a slight favorite if you go by the the
gambling numbers there Yankees minus one currently over the Yankee over.

Speaker 1 (17:03):
The Dodger bullpen.

Speaker 2 (17:05):
In that game, JJ from Written made a joke about
Aaron Judge and I don't think we're allowed to read
that on the air. It's a very nice joke. Thank
you for that, Eugene, and Chicago says man, I definitely
want to hear your thoughts on a twenty two year
old quarterback who says, take me out. Coach I'm tired. Yeah, well, Eugene,

(17:25):
we did mention this a little bit yesterday. We will
have more on Anthony Richardson who It would be one thing,
if he was good and did that, you'd be like, Okay,
well you know he's fine. But he sucks and did
that he's I mean, you get me both right. If
you're gonna say I can't play, I gotta come out
of the game. I'm tired. You better be pretty good.
You can't be one of the worst quarterbacks since the

(17:47):
nineteen seventies, which is what he is. Spock's weed right,
since says Whale of a Tale, a great song sung
by Kirk Douglas in twenty thousand Leagues under the Sea,
It says Spocks, we'd let's see here we have page down.

Speaker 1 (18:02):
I can't read that. Now we do have a screwge
who says that Diddy he claims that did he told
the court that jay Z and Beyonce were involved there,
that chet, that shady house that they were having those
parties in. I've heard said rumors too. Really, now, are
we still canceling people in society? How does this work? Here?

(18:24):
Does jay Z get canceled?

Speaker 6 (18:26):
Like?

Speaker 1 (18:26):
How does this work. I don't know.

Speaker 7 (18:27):
Nothing can be done until things are actually proven. It's
just amel at the moment because they were such good
friends on yeah timeline.

Speaker 1 (18:34):
Yeah all right, so guilt by association is that what
we're doing? Okay, guilt by associate? I got you? Uh.

Speaker 2 (18:40):
Dread Pie writes and says, I have seen the script
faint wait for your World Series Game seven monologue.

Speaker 1 (18:48):
Yet, well, good luck on that. I'm not worried about it.

Speaker 2 (18:50):
Shannon Mooyes says the Dallas franchise is a joke. Jerry
Jones sticking to his guns isn't working out at all.
But Jones loves himself more than winning. It's all about
merch sales. Well, it is a business, and they do
make a lot of money. King Rory writes, and he
says the Dodgers will win Tuesday night. O Tani gets
his ring and then the truth of his gambling addiction

(19:11):
will come out, tarnishing not just his name, but both
the Angels and Dodgers for years to come. Will O
Taani care? Hell no, because he'll be living like a
king back in Japan, so he says. Stuck in Sacramento
says a minus on the mall monologue. I need laughter
when talking about these spankys. No chance in hell. Traveling

(19:33):
to La and a World Series game with my kiddo
was great. But we are going to have to go
down again.

Speaker 1 (19:38):
For the parade. Come on, Doyers, give me an excuse
to get out of.

Speaker 7 (19:43):
Oh my gosh, you want to go.

Speaker 1 (19:45):
You want to go to the parade.

Speaker 7 (19:46):
We have to go. This is like a you know,
a once in a lifetime thing.

Speaker 1 (19:50):
I see the parades of Disneyland all the time. I've
done enough. I did back in the day. I did
the parade there.

Speaker 7 (19:57):
Do you think they'll serve hot dogs? What if they
throw from a float? That'd be so fun.

Speaker 2 (20:02):
They don't serve hot dogs. There's a lot of people
throwing beers at parades.

Speaker 1 (20:07):
Uh, okay, that'd be good.

Speaker 2 (20:09):
Remember the one in Cleveland. Somebody in Philadelphia they both
ate horse poo. Oh fans like grabbed it. They were
drunk and they grabbed the poo and they ate it
like the horse poo. Right there, Inka Tera writes and says, clearly,
I am in an abusive relationship. I know that my
Benny will have nothing but shot in freude after my
bronx Bomber's bomb yet again, and yet I keep coming

(20:31):
back for another Mala monologue. Well, I think it because
I did trigger some some of my friends in San
Diego who stopped listening to the show because I took
shots at the Padres and they were offended unloaded. But
I'm an equal opportunity assassin of sports teams and players.

Speaker 1 (20:49):
I do it all the time.

Speaker 2 (20:50):
Alf the Alien Opiner says the only thing better than
the Dodgers sweeping the Yankees in the Bronx would be
if they found a loophole where they could send Bauer
out for a two hit shut out in ten strikeouts
and then flip Rob Manford off as he accepted the
World Series trophy. And I don't don't see that happening,
but that would be intriguing. And the Dodgers are out

(21:11):
in front, They're on the woke bandwagon. They didn't want
nothing to do with about it. Freddie writes and says
a plus plus on the Mount monologue, A Dodger dog
for you. Tomorrow the Dodgers will win and sweep away
the Yankees. Mass Ol Mickey says, I am really excited
for you on your Doyers. I hope you get rid
of that cold before the parade?

Speaker 1 (21:30):
Will you be going in? Did you finally get the
apple fritter? I have not gotten the apple. I do
not have an apple fritter. That reminds me Ben. Actually,
I'd like to get an apple fritter. If you know
where I can get one in the afternoon. Oh not
in the afternoon. Well that's the problem. I go in
the afternoon. I don't go in the morning. I sleep
in the morning. I don't go in the Yes, coop,
will you have something you want to add about the

(21:50):
apple fritter.

Speaker 8 (21:51):
Yes, we have a listener that works at a place
called the Doughnuttery has a hold on that has offered
to bring some apple fritters.

Speaker 1 (22:02):
The Doughnuttery Is this in Huntington Beach. I'm looking at
it right now. It looks like a This looks like
a nice place. Oh this is like bougie. Man. These
are like high end donuts. Yeah, they got those mochi donuts.
Those are like high those are high class donuts. He
told me to just let him know what day works.

(22:22):
All right. I mean, come on, Eddie, you're not gonna
turn down an apple fritter. Of course, not.

Speaker 2 (22:27):
You're probably gonna take one of these, these these bright
colored mochi donuts.

Speaker 1 (22:31):
Though I don't even know what that is. I don't know,
but it sounds important.

Speaker 7 (22:35):
I think they're supposed to be like fluffyir.

Speaker 1 (22:37):
I've had them. I don't like them. You don't like them.
They have the regular glades, a weird texture. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (22:42):
Ah, let's place open all night? Oh perfect, Look at that.
A lot of donut shops now they're not open all night.
They even got gluten free. Who wants a gluten free donut?

Speaker 1 (22:50):
I don't know. Gluten free sounds dry. Some people have
to eat those really, yeah.

Speaker 7 (22:56):
And gives them gas.

Speaker 1 (22:58):
No, it gives them rash and stuff. They spoke. I
guess they got the uh, I said. Now I'm looking
all these donuts, man, it's your fault. Coop. Oh, cinnamon
roll looks good too. They got the bear claw donut.

Speaker 2 (23:11):
It's all It's on the Donuttery website. It says cinnamon
roll right there, right next to the bear claw. Well,
see that's the thing that I'm I'm looking for. The
apple fritter. Yeah, I did not see the apple fritter.
I think the guy's lying about the apple fritter the donutter.

Speaker 8 (23:25):
That's what I was wondering as well. I did not
see the apple fritter. When I looked at the bear claw,
it looks like there might be apples in the bear.
He is talking about bringing bear claws.

Speaker 1 (23:35):
I'm not anti bear claw, but that does not look
like an apple fritter. I do love a good bear claw. Yeah,
bear claws are good. Now I'm looking at the maple bar.
Looks good.

Speaker 2 (23:45):
I do a couple of twists, you know, I could
uh the whipped cream filled donut. That's like a oh man,
these are all looking good.

Speaker 6 (23:55):
Man.

Speaker 1 (23:55):
You got the the marble raised I could see Eddie
and the marble raised donut.

Speaker 2 (24:00):
Could see him doing that. Yeah, the classic raspberry jelly donut.

Speaker 7 (24:04):
I prefer the what's the Bavarian Bavarian Bavarian cream?

Speaker 1 (24:09):
Yes, they have a blueberry jelly. That's rare.

Speaker 2 (24:11):
You don't often see the blueberry jelly they have that.
It must be chocolate chip bared that.

Speaker 1 (24:19):
Oh, p B and J. How abou would you go
for a PEB and J donut?

Speaker 8 (24:23):
See that sounded interesting, but I said, there's like a
lot of like chopped peanuts on top.

Speaker 1 (24:27):
And yeah, it's a little much. This'mores one I don't
think I would do. But what they should? We do this?
What do we do next week? We'll do it one
day next week? How about that? Uh, Monday? How about Monday?
All right? Do it Monday? All right? Oh, the birthday
cake one looks good too.

Speaker 7 (24:43):
I'll make sure I'm bring in milk.

Speaker 1 (24:45):
Gotta have the milk, very important.

Speaker 7 (24:46):
Donuts without milk just does not work.

Speaker 1 (24:49):
Oh wait, there's more.

Speaker 2 (24:50):
I'm looking at some other donuts here, hold on, sick
here I talk well, because there's Coop's fault. They have
strawberry candy donut.

Speaker 1 (24:57):
But that one.

Speaker 2 (24:58):
Oh so you gotta go down further. Now you got
old fashion? Yeah, okay, we're in this. This is they
listen to our show.

Speaker 1 (25:04):
The don't Uttery. There are our friends.

Speaker 2 (25:06):
That's right, all right, we love the don'tutter I ever
even had it. Damn right, I'm gonna have it. That's
a good absolutely, watch your mouth, all right. Ferk Dog
rights and says the Yankees are getting exposed by a
superior team playing with lots of gusto. I'm not going
to say the Dodgers have momentum, but they definitely have

(25:28):
the impetus Dodgers in four he says.

Speaker 1 (25:33):
So, he says, very nice.

Speaker 4 (25:34):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.

Speaker 1 (25:40):
All right, digital space.

Speaker 2 (25:41):
Monkey rights, and he says, I'm leaving the bar heading
to the winchles here at two am when the fresh doughnuts,
bear claws and apple fritters were coming out. Used to
be my move and open shop after work for you
is the way to go. Tom from Fullerton says, please
stop all this hot donut talk. Slim Tim says this

(26:01):
is killing. He says, I'm high and very hungry.

Speaker 1 (26:06):
Now.

Speaker 2 (26:06):
Mallard prop guy, he writes, and he says, I just
called the donuttery and Ken confirmed they currently have apple
fritters available minutes before midnight rearch in Nothnington Beach. That's
boots on the ground, Eddie Malard prop guy who we've met,
and he says they are indeed open twenty four hours.
A gentleman, the whom I spoke to, very friendly, So

(26:28):
that's good to hear. Absolutely, Let's see here our friend,
the Tennessee loser who's now in Miami, he says, Anthony
Richardson taking himself out.

Speaker 1 (26:39):
Of a third and goal was hilarious.

Speaker 2 (26:41):
He's like another Jamis Winston and Will Levis has all
the tools but is a complete mental kiss Now, Jameis
Winston is don't compare to Anthony Richardson. Winston Winston's occasionally good.
Don't do that, please, Milkman. Mike says, what's the over
under on Rob manfraud being drunk again while presenting the
Dodgers their trophy.

Speaker 1 (27:02):
Yeah, that's some good sound we haven't heard in a while,
the Rob Manford.

Speaker 2 (27:05):
Yeah, Well, any of the Dodgers who were there when
they were the victim of the A holes almost a
hole's cheating? Will any of them make a comment about
the little piece of metal that Rob Manford said was
the world series trophy? Will any of them get up
on the dais. I'm trying to think who would be

(27:26):
the one to do it. It'll be like Joe Kelly
would be the one to do it, right, Joe Kelly
would be the one, but he's going to get an
opportunity to do it. So other than that, probably probably
not go to the phones. We'll say hello to Steve
in Manhattan. Hello Steve.

Speaker 6 (27:42):
Oh, can't get World Service tickets to see all the
lounge lizards in the stands, Spike Lee and distinguished panel
expanding audience. Welcome to the work none now, welcome to
he Haw. All right, now, lit's sen gut it three
up in street Love. You still got another game tonight
and you's not gonna win, and you're not gonna win

(28:03):
game four, rolling out your bullpen in the first inning.
All right, and listen, you want to hear something funny.
Sunday's New York Post, right, Steve Servey, who I associate
with the New York Jets, was interviewing Miss October and
not mister Mage, Miss Doctoba, Reggie Jackson, and he said, well,
one of the questions of the eighty one World Series,

(28:24):
you know I had to do against Fernando Venezuela, and
Reggie goes you know, you know, he pitched me to
a nice pitch, that's his words, and I hit a
few knots of from them, but I didn't go deep bottom.
Reggie Jackson did not face Fernando Venezuela in Game three
of the h one World Series because he was injured
in the first two games. And I believe Steinbrand it

(28:46):
told Bob Lemon's a bench Reggie for Game three?

Speaker 2 (28:49):
Are we breaking down the nineteen eighty one World Series
in twenty twenty four?

Speaker 1 (28:54):
Is that what's happening right now? We're doing that.

Speaker 2 (28:56):
We're doing a deep dive going back in the hot
top time machine to nineteen eighty one. So Reggie misremembered.
Doesn't Reggie work for the a Holes now? I thought
he worked for the Astros.

Speaker 6 (29:07):
Well, Reggie used to work for the Yankees. They basically
Reggie was paid five hundred thousand dollars a year to
go to birthday parties and retrieve famous baseballs. And one
of the famous was what if a Rids home runs?
He went out there was the bleaches and the guy
wouldn't give him the ball, and he's going, hey, I'm Reggie,
you's got to give you a baseball. Come out, We'll
give you some baseball backs inside the guy would give

(29:27):
it to them. Then it was settled like a year
later and never disclosed what the guy got from that baseball.
I think it was five hundred or four hundred one now.

Speaker 1 (29:35):
But the Yankees do the same thing all these teams do.

Speaker 2 (29:37):
They had these old players on the payroll they bring
him out for spring training and then they have him
show up to meet and greets with fans and they
pay him one hundred thousand a year or whatever.

Speaker 1 (29:46):
And that's that.

Speaker 6 (29:48):
Yeah, But besides baboos, who would get five hundred thousand
a year to go to birthday parties and basically was going.
But I wanted to bring up something else than that Reggie.
The Yankees bench start players in post and World Series games.
They did it four times, all right, They did it
twice the Reggie in Game three eighty one. They also
did it in Game five against the Royals in seventy seven.

Speaker 1 (30:10):
But in that game he would But it's not it's
not happening. Now.

Speaker 2 (30:14):
You think that Aaron Boone's gonna have the balls, not
that he didn't even make the decision, but he's and
Boone's been on the wreck. I saw Boone quoted that
the last twenty four hours. He said he's not gonna
change the lineup. He's gonna dance with who brung them,
and they're not going to change the lineup. Despite several
guys sucking at a time, he cannot suck. The other thing,

(30:34):
I'll bring it up now since you're on the phone.
You're a Yankee, honk is the disfunction in the Bronx.
And there there's these headlines that the Yankees, who are
on the brink of losing the World Series, is going
to leave the door wide open for one Soda to exit.
Let me tell you something about one Soto. Okay, first
of all, he's a good player. Secondly, it doesn't matter
whether the Yankees win the World Series or not.

Speaker 1 (30:53):
He's going to go to the highest bidder.

Speaker 2 (30:55):
If a team in Afghanistan offers him more money, one
Soto will sign in Afghanistan.

Speaker 1 (31:01):
He that's all. That's fine, that's his prerogative.

Speaker 2 (31:03):
But don't tell me it's like he wants he wants
to stay with the Yankees if they win the World Series,
and he's gonna leave if they lose.

Speaker 1 (31:08):
That's bull crap. How about knew.

Speaker 6 (31:10):
No, I wouldn't say that at all. I know he's gone.
The Baris is his agent. He's going to the highest bidder.
And plus the Yankees, also with their top free agents,
do not sign him right away. They go they go
out there and.

Speaker 2 (31:22):
Get the BA Well and the other the other thing, too,
is Stephen calling is Steve calling the Mets all.

Speaker 1 (31:27):
And this would be the ultimate fu to the Yankees.

Speaker 2 (31:29):
If he overpays for Sodo, gives him a thirteen year contract,
and then Sodo haunts the Yankees as a Met that
would be dream come true.

Speaker 6 (31:38):
So well, here's actually collusion between the Mets and the Yankees.
They do not sign each other's big stars. If you
know this Stevie boy, they call him Uncle Stevie, I
call him Stevie.

Speaker 1 (31:47):
Callin.

Speaker 6 (31:47):
He did not try to sign Judge and the reason
why they don't do it. He didn't go after old
Tani last year. The Mets fans all think they're going
to sign him. Listen, the Mets and the Yankees do
not sign each other's bad.

Speaker 1 (32:00):
I'll bet you. I'll bet you the Mets mega run
at Soto. I'll bet you that's how it's gonna sound.

Speaker 9 (32:07):
Actually, back man and back man of back man man
Man that all right, thank you, I gotta go.

Speaker 2 (32:19):
