Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go. Welcome, it's our number one.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Happy Tuesday, the twenty first day of October, and the
Ben Malers show up all night and it's all about
the American League Championship Series Game number seven. Thumbs up
or thumbs down on cal Raley saying the Mariners season
was a failure. Also, what's the lesson from Vladimir Guerrero
(00:26):
of Toronto winning the ALCS MVP honors.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
We'll discuss that.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
And now that we know the matchup, what letter grade
do you put on the twenty twenty five World Series
with the Dodgers and the Blue Jays.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
We get to.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
All of that and more right now here. It is
our number one. Some Canadian bacon, the Mariners apparently not
enjoying that Canadian bacon. Welcome in the beginning of another
(01:04):
night of the Ben Maler Show.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
As we are in the air.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Everywhere, homeboys hanging out together here as we stay demented
coast to coast, border the border and beyond on the
vast and pleasantly powerful microphones of FSR amminating live from
the ticket as we punch our ticket. Well, the Blue
(01:31):
Jays did to the next round a higher level from
the world famous Fox Sports Radio Studios, as approved by
FSR alumni member and Toronto resident Canadian Mike who.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Out of the blue, he used to work here.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
It's actually one of the few people I like to
work here, Canadian Mike, and he lives in Toronto, and
he sent me a random text message. It's like, wow,
that's kind of cool. I like that guy. I wonder
what happened to him because he's Canada dry now hanging
out there in Toronto. But he messages me, and of
course our sympathy to to Robbie the Mariner fan crying
Craig who's crying right now? You could hear that sound
(02:06):
at the end of the baseball game JJ in Renton,
who assumed the Mariners we're gonna lose. No stret Denis.
I'm trying to remember everyone in Seattle. We had a
lot of guys that love the show in Seattle. I
can't remember everyone. But this portion of the Ben Maler
Show made possible in part by our friends at tire
i Rack. For over forty years, tire Rack has been
helping customers find the right tires. For customers like alf
(02:26):
and Fergluck find the right tires for how what and
where they drive ship fast and free back by free
road hazard protection with convenience installation options like mobile tire
installation tire iraq dot com. The way the tire buying
should be. So our lead this hour is from obviously Toronto.
It was the eye in the bullseye of Major League Baseball,
(02:49):
the final chapter, Game number seven of the American League
Championship Series the Mariners and the Blue Jays. Twenty seven outs,
nine innings, one game winner gets the Dodgers in the
Fall Classic. It was on Fox. You had Joe Davis
(03:09):
and John Momentum Smoltz on the call. Although I have
noticed these last couple of games. Ever since I did
my Mallard monologue mocking the momentum that was mentioned every
ten minutes on the game, he hasn't mentioned it as much,
although I did hear it in every broadcast I watched.
There were two Monday night games and I heard it
(03:32):
halftime the Buccaneers had all the momentum because they scored
a field goal before halftime. I heard that. I judge
me anyway, So Joe Davis and John Smoltz had the
call that was on Fox Sports one. I don't know
if you're watching it or not. Perhaps not, but don't worry.
I actually I loved it. I mean Game seven. Yeah,
I mean some of these things I watch, I'm not
(03:52):
gonna lie to you.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
I hate them.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
I get paid to do that. But some of these
games I watch them like, this sucks, but I kind
of have.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
To watch it. This I enjoyed watching until the end.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
When cheating a one thousand and two one thousand hole,
George Springer hit a go ahead dinger.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Springer the dinger.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
I wonder if there was a bang, bang or a
whistle whistle for the cheating a hole the go ahead
three run home run in the seventh inning to turn
the game around and Toronto advances to the World Series
for the first time since nineteen ninety three. Holy Holy Canoley,
(04:38):
get the poutine ready, baby, So they rallied to beat
Seattle four to three in the final in Game seven
of the American League Championship Series on Monday night. Vladimir
Guerrero and the Blue Jays will host they have home
field advantage host Shohel Tani and the Dodgers Game one
(05:00):
on Friday night. It's on like Donkey Kong in Toronto
as the Blue Jays representing the World Series in Canada
for the third time. As they they would say, we
would have won a third time in a row. But
there was a baseball workstoppage and all that. But the
early nineties Blue Jays were legit. And that's a long
(05:20):
time ago, and you got to be old to have
remembered the Blue Jays when they were good. And now
they're good again in the World Series. And so we
have plenty of time to discuss as they take on
the Dodgers, who swept the Brewers in the NLCS.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
We have all week to talk about that.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
The better story, though, is in the losing locker room,
and so that is where we will begin. And the
Mariners gagged away a three to one lead in the
seventh and eighth They fell eight outs away, eight out
short of their first World Series of parents. They did
get home runs from Jay Rod and Calraley. Cal Raley
(05:58):
went yard there. Uh, And so but the Manors lose.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
They lose.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Now, Dan Wilson, who is he gonna shave that mustache?
Speaker 1 (06:07):
God, I'll shave it for him anyway.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
He's the manager of the Mariners, Dan Wilson, And he
was asked, you've just lost the American League Pennant in
Game seven. You've choked away a series, losing five five
of the final six games, or four of the final
six games. Good job by you, Good math by meuh
win the first to lose four of the final five
to lose the series.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Anyway, here's Dan Wilson on his Mariner message.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Just to hold up their heads and and and you know,
to understand what kind of a season they had. I mean,
I know this stings, and there's no question that it's
gonna sting. But the kind of season they had, you know,
doing things that no team in this organization has ever done.
And and you know, knocking on the door of a
world series all that, you know, it's it's it's due
(06:57):
to how hard they've worked, how hard they've played all
season long, all the times they've come back, all the
times they've bounced back. It's a special team in there,
and it's a shame we had to come out on
the wrong side of this one.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
So that's a bad quote. Your professional athlete, your job
is to play hard. I don't give you any credit
for that. I give you no credit. Meanwhile, the money
quote is from the Big Dumper, Cal Raley, mister dinger,
this was his career year. He'll never play this well
again for a full season.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
This is it. This is the high water mark for
cal Raleigh. And they didn't win the pennant.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
They lose to Toronto in Game seven and cal ralely dropped
a truth bomb post game.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
You know, I hate to use the word failure, but
it's a failure.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
I mean, that's.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
What we expected just to get to the World Series,
win World Series, and that's you know what the bar
is and the standard is, and you know it's what
we want to hold ourselves accountable too.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
But yeah, that's it urts, all right. So that's a
great jumping off point right there. I like that. That's
the money quote.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
So let us discuss the question thumbs up or thumbs
down on cal Raley saying the Mariner season was a failure.
So I've got Rodent blue Chew and Alfred Hitchcock and
we will combine all of these things together and we
are gonna make a delicious, wonderful trip to Cancun with
(08:24):
all all expenses paid.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
It's gonna be wonderful because that's where the Manners are going.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Well, the Blue Jays are getting made for the World
Series on Friday, the Mariners can go on a nice
tropical vacation. So ay, I love this. I love the
cal Rally quote. I really do thumbs up. In fact,
you know, I'm gonna go not just thumbs up, I'm
gonna go thumbs all.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
The way up to the mountain to the mo All right.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Big dumper gets it. Good job by you. I was
expecting the standard chow when a team loses in this
type of environment. There was no puffy sticker being handed
out to the to the Seattle manners.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
No aw shucks. They blew it. That's what it is.
We're all grown ups here. They blew it. If it
looks like a rodent, and it smells like a rodent,
it's a rodent. And that's it.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
They were up two to zero in the American League
Championship Series. They had won both games, both games in Toronto.
They had three games at home. Boom boom, boom, and
they left it up. They screwed it up. And they
had one hand already on the World Series ticket and
(09:34):
they dropped it. They dropped it, and they screwed it up.
And that's the gag. They choked. It's called what it is.
The Seattle Manners choked in the American League Championship Series.
From Game three through the rest of the series, the
Seattle baseball team was outscored thirty three to seventeen. They
were almost doubled up by Toronto, the pratt fall for
(09:58):
the ages. For this Seattle Mariner. They didn't just lose
by a little bit. Once they stopped playing, that was it.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
They're not the last.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
The parties over losing their Augusto and losing with some rasthmatas.
When you think about it, they and then they still
had eight outs to go in Game seven, eight out,
so I eight out, so you win the pennant, you
get the champagne and the Blue Jays zapped their lumber.
And the person who's not a household name, so it's
(10:30):
likely a name that only a few of us will remember.
But the one that has to wear this for effing
it up as Edward Bizardo, Eduardo Bizardo, who was just bad,
who apparently was good. I don't I didn't watch him
pitch much of a leaf pitcher for the Mariners, but
on this night he earns those novelty you know, the
(10:51):
plastic aircraft wings when you fly the vomit comet and
he gets those. So congratulations to Bizardo who screwed things up.
He gave up the home run to the cheater. He
sucked at a time you cannot suck. And cal Raley
is right again, this is just to put the ball
on this. It is a failure. And we appreciate that
he did not immediately run to the gram and write
(11:13):
some proud of you boys, some kind of that bull
crap post a bunch of crying emojis or something like
that to mine.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Maybe he did. I didn't see it.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
So he stood up and he said it, and you know,
it doesn't change the fact the Manners choked. But at
least you had the guts to say, put what really
happened out there and not try to spin it. It
was a failure. Boom done, and that's accountability. Good job
by you, cal Raley.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
It had an amazing year and you lived up to
the big contract you got. Good job by you.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
The bar is not the American League Championship Series participation banner.
It's the World Series, and the Mariners continue to be
the only team that has not made the World Series.
Every other member of the cartel has made the World Series. Now,
in the next five to ten years, probably next five years,
they're going to add an expansion team or two, so
(12:09):
it'll be two other teams that haven't made the World Series,
and then those two teams will make the World Series
and the Mariner still will not have made the World Series,
and it'll be even more embarrassing. But that's the way
we are. So the weight continues as they are pennantless
in Seattle. Meanwhile, in the winners locker room, not as good,
not as good as story. The question what is the
lesson from Vladimir Guerrero winning American League Championship Series ENVP
(12:36):
honors for Toronto?
Speaker 1 (12:38):
What's the lesson here?
Speaker 2 (12:39):
So this is classic baseball in October playoff baseball. We
were talking about this series in real time and after
two games of the ascis, what was the talking point. Well,
Vladimir Guerrero has had seven at bats, He's zero for seven.
We had the stats against the Yankees. He hit the
crap out of the ball against everyone else. After two
(13:00):
games he was batting one hundred or something like that,
one o three against everyone else in the playoffs other
than the Yankees.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Flatty was a battie and not a good way. Not
a good way.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
And then you know the hot take machine, which I'm
part of the industrial complex of the hot take in
a small part of it. I don't work day shift.
If I day shift, i'd be a big part of it.
I work overnights.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
So this is where the real hot takes are developed.
In the kitchen. We cook them up hot and we
piping hot right out of them.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Anyway, so revving up the hot take machine, it was spicy,
so everyone was ready to stick the fraud label on
the back of Vladimir Guerrero and then boom goes to
dynamite or in this case wrecket Ralph or wrecket Vlattie
as he went turbo time, which is a reminder now
we have a daily talk show to do a nightly
(13:50):
talk show, so it is a reminder of it's not
how you start, it is how you finish. And this
was a turbotastic ending for Vladimir Guerrero. The blue Chew
or the Blue jay Chew fixed whatever issue he may
or may not have had here doing the mal or math.
Vladimir Guerrero Junior batted the final five games of the
(14:12):
ALC has batted five twenty six. That's Beer League softball
for Vladimir Guerrero with three home runs, scored six runs,
had three runs batted in. And that's why you pay stars.
You pay them to perform like that. Not all of
them do. Many of them do not perform at that level.
And Guerrero did not need to be perfect. He was
(14:33):
not perfect at the beginning obviously sucked. He just needed
to be there when it mattered. And that's the other
lesson from all this. And I've known this for many,
many years, but it's it's amnesia. It's October amnesia that
happens every year. It's like, I'll give you a shoel.
Toney was trash in the playoffs with the Dodgers. Everyone
(14:55):
right now is licking every crevice of his body because
of the game he had in the close out game
against the Brewers.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
But he was terrible for the postseason up until that game.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
But that's what people arenna remember that, canna remember how
Toddy was sucked before that.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
They're gonna, oh my god, did you.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
See the game yet? The greatest game of all time?
I got my pants down that they're so excited about that.
So they'll forget the other stif And Guerrero's a great example.
He was terrible for the first two games, but October
amnesia kicks in and he was there at the end.
He delivered for games three, four, five, six, and seven,
although it was one for four in this game in
(15:31):
game seven, but he didn't melt under the bright lights
of October there and so I guess he just needed
a couple of games to heat up the old engine.
Not the last word, big picture, all right, big picture.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
We now have the match up. The matchup is set.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
We've got a team representing an entire tire country because
baseball let the Expos leave Montreal, so we've got Toronto
and La.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
What letter great?
Speaker 2 (16:00):
What letter grade do you put on the twenty twenty
five World Series matchup? First glance Dodgers and Blue Jays,
So first glance on the Mather report card, I give
it a B.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
I'm gonna give it a B. It's not an A.
I can't give it an A. It's a B. It's
like a B minus World Series. It's a B.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
It is a matchup that has some juice. And I
was thinking about it as I was making the long
trip in here. To the hallowed hallways of Fox Sports
Radio where legends have worked. Here in the old Steve
Harvey studio we're in now where he did his show
and then crossed the way there. The other studio we're
in is the where Limbaud did his show when he
was in La like legends of radio. So I come
in here and the storylines are bubbling up for the
(16:46):
Fall Classic.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
They are What are they?
Speaker 2 (16:48):
You've got some stars, You've got a villain, You've got history,
all of that stuff mixed together. You've got Otani, the
biggest global star in baseball who's representing Japan, right, biggest
thing in the world there for Japanese baseball fans, and
you got him playing in his second World Series. And oh,
(17:10):
by the way, even though the Dodgers won last year, Otani,
you're not supposed to say this part. He wasn't very good.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Oh I said it. Oh my god, I said it.
That's why I'm on overnight. I said it.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
I said it the daytime. Guys would lick his toes.
He sucked in the World Series last year. There, I
said it. Okay, anyway, so he's got a chance at redemption,
all right, And we also have that other story, the
catfish story. We all got catfished when Otani was a
free agent.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
You remember this.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
I was thinking about this when I was coming in here.
I was like Otani when he was a free agent
and nobody knew where it was gonna go. And there
was that infamous private jet story.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Do you remember this Otani to Toronto?
Speaker 2 (17:48):
John Morosi MLB insider tracking the tail number essentially of
Otani's private plane leaving the airport in southern California like
it was Air Force one heading to Toronto, and everyone,
we're all excited and turned out, No, that was almost
as good as Arson Judge going to the Giants. That
was a John Hayman f up by him. So now
(18:10):
it comes full circle. Now it is full circle. We
know obviously Otani's with the Dodgers and all that he
didn't go to Toronto, and now he is standing between
Toronto and a World Series trophy, and that is an
interesting wrinkle to this World Series. Then you've got Vladdy
Guerrero Junior, who has turned into the Oracle of October
(18:34):
as Vladdie is your daddy, hitting four forty even those
two zero for seven, the two games, oh hitting four
to forty. He's leading baseball in every key number. Yeah,
he is caring Toronto. This is like David Ortiz type
stuff when he was with the Red Sox back in
the day. I guess Laddy's gonna end up on Fox
(18:55):
eventually doing baseball coverage on TV. So uh, there's no
such thing as more. But he's on a heater, that's
what the kids say. He's a cartoon. Crooked numbers there
for Vladimir Guerrero Junior, number twenty seven in your program,
but number one in your heart for the Blue Jays.
And let's not forget the real thing about this world
series that stands out like a sore thumb.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
The villain.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Now, you might think the Dodgers are the villains because
they spend all the money, They've got all the good players.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
No, now would be wrong.
Speaker 6 (19:24):
The villain a cheating, a strout.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Oh yeah, George Efen Springer forever an a hole, forever
a cheater. He's been branded a dirty dog. He's a
dirty dog, George Springer, And every Dodger fan in Chevezravine
when the series gets to La will serenade him. Right
they still remember I was getting text from people that
were sending me messages from the twenty seventeen period of time.
(19:57):
There that wretched World Series. Bine bining, whistle whistle. How
about this? Check him for the buzzer. How do we
know he wasn't wearing a buzzer? Every time Springer walks
up to the plate, he's going to get the Alfred
Hitchcock treatment.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
You know what that is. That's going to be the birds,
the boo birds is what he's going to get there.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
And a reminder for those of you that are a
little slow and dumb, George Springer, Jose al Boove, and
Alex Bregman, the three headless horsemen of the Apocalypse of baseball,
the greatest single scandal in the history of North American sport.
They got away with it, the whole dirt bag crew,
(20:44):
all of them, and Rob Manford, who should have dropped
the hammer on them. Instead he did nothing because he's
locking balls. He doesn't have any balls. Otherwise he would
have punished them. But they all should have been banned
for life. Springer should have been banned for baseball for life.
That home run that happened in Game seven of the
(21:04):
alc has should not have been allowed to happen because
he would have had no eve him selling insurance or
doing something to get a real job. But because the
commission's got no spine, George Springer Altuve bregnant, all those
other cheeks are allowed in baseball.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
And it makes me want to vomit. I want a puke.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
And so now some justice as he goes into Dodger
Stadium and he'd be sarreing anything, I'll lose the World Series.
The Dodgers are winning the World Series, and so that's great,
and they'll boom and they'll serenade him installationous. He's the
bad guy, so that's good. And but so it gets
a bee because I mean it's Toronto. I can't go
higher than a bee with Toronto. I can't do that.
(21:45):
But it's got star power. It's got that we mentioned,
it's got the villain. You've got the redemption arc with
Otani after sucking in the World Series last year. So
there's a full plate of drama. And O'ton's obviously the
biggest star. But Vladi's gone nuclear here of late for
the Blue Jays here, and you got the rich kid Dodgers.
See this is tough, Like if you hate the Dodgers.
(22:07):
But you like love America? Are you gonna like pull
for Toronto? This is there, that's Canadas team.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
What do you do?
Speaker 2 (22:14):
It's Hollywood versus Hockey Town, Boo Springer, You've got will
Vladdie Rake versus that Dodgers starting pitching, the Otani Mania

(25:31):
the Doyers climbing the mountain once again, while cal Raley
can just sit on a bench and does his best
Van Dam scream, So he said. Shannon de Moin writes,
and he's a Seattle sports fan. He's in the moy
and he says, well, I have a lot of thoughts
on the Seahawks versus Texas and the Mariners versus Blue Jays.
(25:52):
I will just say this, My Seattle teams are in
my heart, soul and blood, and nothing said on these
airways or social media will change that.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
I don't think I said anything that was like overly
offensive about the Seattle man.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
I I did that. Also, he wants to know the
new Utah mammoth mascot. What do you think?
Speaker 2 (26:17):
And they have it's a mammoth. That's a mascot there,
the Utah Mammoth. I feel like it's too fluffy. They're
trying to combine the fanatic into a mammoth and it
needs to be a little fatter. I could have done better,
could have better? A ferg Dog writes in, and he says,
(26:38):
should the Blue Jays really be celebrating the championship in
the American legu tonight? All?
Speaker 1 (26:45):
They won our front row seats to a beat down
by the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
Rest assured Robbie, the Mariner fan and the Dodgers will
avenge you.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
By way.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
I'm looking at my board here, not a single Mariner fan,
not a I shocked, but I thought they'd all.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Be lined up. I can't believe I got a packed
board I don't have one Mariner fan. Amazing. I'm sure
they're very sad.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
They're sad. Yeah, well, I know we're on in the
Toronto area as well. I mean they're out drinking and
celebrating and frolicking. So that's why they're not calling. But
the Mariner fans, I thought they'd call up here and
have somebody, he said, But no, Nature Boy writes in
Answering the Call of a while, he says, the greatest
fear for all Dodger fans is possibly losing again to
another on another Springer Dinger. Yeah, is it true that
(27:35):
the Dodgers are going to take all trash cans out
of Dodger Stadium out of Dodger Stadium to prevent George
Springer from cheating in the twenty twenty five World Series?
Speaker 1 (27:47):
Is it also true? Is it also true.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
That Dodgers are going to have him go through a
metal detector when he comes up the home plate.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
That check him for the buzzar?
Speaker 2 (27:56):
And is it also true that they are going to
ban all whistles from LA for the World Series so
Springer will not be able to use any of the.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Contraband that he used when he should have been banned
for life.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Does anyone disagree with that band for life for cheating
in the World series?
Speaker 1 (28:13):
Cheeta Chitta Jeddar, Cheeta Jitna Jeddar. What else did we have?
Speaker 2 (28:17):
That's the Ryan writes in He says, which caller will ask,
when did the Angels trade Vlad Guerrero to the Blue Jays?
Speaker 1 (28:25):
See?
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Well, if anyone's gonna do, it's probably be like Holloween
James and he's on hold Yaphimi says, the Doyers will
make justice for the Cubbies and the Mariners. That's right,
Cubs fans for Dodgers, Cubs fans for Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Who else do we have? Eileen says, I.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
Never thought we'd be rooting for blank, blank Canada, but
my San Francisco buds and I are forever anti Dodgers
and anti degenerate gambler Otani.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
So go Blue Jays, Go Blue Jays.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
I've in the terrible right now, said from Houston, He says, Ben,
I agree with you at those guys all should have
been banned from baseball. That is, I give you credit. Ivan,
I thought you'd say something else about the cheating a holes,
being that you're in the belly of the Beast. But
I give you credit. Ivan's coming around. I'm in the
terrible pointing out. He says that George Springer, Regman and
Altuve are all clowns and they should all be kicked
(29:22):
out of baseball.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
And it's a shame that Rob Manford did.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
Not have the balls to kick them out of baseball,
he says, or something close to that. Scott, a well
known comedian, rights and Seattle should launch an investigation into
George Springer's homer, he says, But Commissioner Rob Manford was
squashing No. No, Manford would practice as golf swing. Say,
what do you want me to do? I got a
(29:45):
party in the Hamptons. I gotta go to I can't
be bothered by they. I gotta go out to Long Island.
Come on, man, I gotta get out of Manhattan and
I get I take a helicopter at the Long Island.
I can't be bothered with punishing it. What do you
want me to do? What is wrong with you? Shame
on you anyway. It is the Ben mauache I mentioned
some blue Jay porn. There's a photo going around of
(30:06):
a couple of legends, Joey Batts, who never got this
far for the Toronto Blue Jays and Vladimir Guerrero. They
were on the field there as the Jays have advanced
to the World Series and now Vladimir Guerrero Junior tied
for the most postseason home runs in the history of
(30:26):
the Toronto Blue Jays as he hit another another dinger,
another dinger.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
The other night, not in this game. The Blue Jays
get it done. Cal Raley has.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
The most home runs by I guess he and Aaron
Judge were neck and neck, but he did hit a
home run in this game, but not enough there. As
of Vladimir Gerril Junior, the first ALCS MVP since Paul
Konerko in twenty oh five to finish the series with
a negative win probability added. So the nerds don't like that.
(31:02):
The nerds I don't understand.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
What does that even mean? I don't get it. Yeah,
that's a nerd stat.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
That's that's one of those stats where you're like, Okay,
that's something that's you know, just kind of pulled out
of thin air and like, why is that a thing?
And it wasn't a thing the last time the Blue
jessuit in the World Series. But it's a thing now
and and all that. It is the Ben Mahlor Show.
Let's go to the phones right now, and against my
better judgment in the leadoff chair, we'll say hello to
(31:29):
hollering James in Minneapolis, Mina Oulta, Hello, hollering James. Look
how happy he sounds?
Speaker 1 (31:38):
Is this?
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Dan not sound happy? He's so happy when he's awake,
he's but he's sleeping. He sounds happy too.
Speaker 8 (31:44):
You know why, because I'm not Sleepy Floyd.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
See, that's a that is a dated reference. You got
to update your reference there. That's a that's a forty
year old reference. There was a basketball player named Eric Floyd.
His nickname was Sleepy Floyd and and they literally call
him Sleepy Floyd. That was his go to name. He
loves sleeping that much. Remember, there was a picture for
the Arizona Diamondbacks, which is also a twenty year old reference.
(32:10):
Twenty five year old reference. There was a picture of
young Young Kim who was a closer who used to
sleep like twenty hours a day or some ridiculous thing
like that, for the Arizona Diamondbacks back in the day. James,
do you understand, James, No one snores as loud as
you that is your superpower.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
I don't think that's possible, right, I mean we all.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
I believe everyone has some superpower, something that we're really
good at. And yours is snoring, which, unfortunately I don't
think you can monetize. Is there like an only fans
for like women that want men that snore a lot
and would pay money to listen to James snore?
Speaker 1 (32:44):
No, I haven't gone on those type of websites, but
I had. You would never go in there, yeah, James.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
Sean, Oh, here we go? You want to I knew you, James.
It's not even ninety seconds.
Speaker 8 (32:59):
Write a song, James. No, people wrote the show for
me that were bet to militia.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
Have you ever written a song?
Speaker 8 (33:07):
I can see you, Lorena.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
I would love it if you sang to me.
Speaker 8 (33:12):
J ives falling from the sky. I don't know why
I am hollering, James. I just don't know why. I
can stop crying. Bought the rain make you fall in
because I dreamed. I know the rules of said to me,
(33:35):
man don't okay?
Speaker 2 (33:39):
Yeah, for Impromptu, it was not bad. The first part
of it was fine. You went to off the reservation
there at the end, but I don't know what those
lyrics were. Lycsy hollering Jay, you made them up on
the flo lyrics?
Speaker 1 (33:52):
Yeah? Do you know how to read music? Do you
know how to do music and all that? Are you
familiar with how to read music?
Speaker 8 (34:00):
No?
Speaker 1 (34:00):
I can't read, but you know you don't have to
read music. I saw.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
I guess this is a well known sir. But Lionel
Richie does not know how to read music. He was
part of the Commodore's.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
Back in the day.
Speaker 8 (34:11):
I know it ain't brot cover, but became solo like
Michael Jackson.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
Okay, you don't have to touch You don't have to
touch up my work man, And you're in Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
Should only care about Prince? You shouldn't care about Michael Jackson.
Speaker 8 (34:22):
Come on, Purple rains too. I know how he fell
in love with Appollonia, but more state stealer away you know.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
Oh, I hear myself and.
Speaker 8 (34:35):
Sports?
Speaker 2 (34:36):
Oh we got to talk sports? Do we have to
talk sports? Why do we have to talk sports?
Speaker 1 (34:39):
James?
Speaker 8 (34:39):
Come on, I don't want to see my Dodgers Wind.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
Dodgers. You're playing? When did you become U up.
Speaker 8 (34:49):
Dodge Risdale?
Speaker 2 (34:50):
Sandy Kolch Okay, you don't have to reference nineteen sixty five.
That's out of the demo. And and by the way, James,
could you name four players on the dodge? Do I
have any music for this? Wold on a seconds. Let's
do some music here can and let's take some bets. Now,
obviously there's one guy he's gonna be able to name
for sure.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
Let me maybe five? How about five?
Speaker 2 (35:09):
There's five a good number because I think like there's
three really easy ones. Probably get a fourth one. How
about five Dodgers? Can hollering James were playing the hollering James?
Can he name five Dodger game names?
Speaker 9 (35:21):
JA?
Speaker 1 (35:21):
All right?
Speaker 2 (35:21):
I say no current Dodgers on the twenty twenty five roster.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
I say no. Laurina, you say you can do it.
I think you can do it, all right? Coopy one
in on this. Let me hold on.
Speaker 4 (35:32):
Let me let me think which ones he's gonna name?
Speaker 1 (35:34):
One? Two, he's gonna name Kirk Gibson. I know that
there's there's three obvious ones. Yeah, I'm only asking for
two more.
Speaker 4 (35:44):
I think he's gonna get four or five on the dodge,
but definitely not over five.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
All right, here we go the hollering, James, name the
Dodger game, James, Lafour is yours?
Speaker 8 (35:54):

Speaker 1 (35:57):
Correct? That is right? There you go, all.
Speaker 4 (36:03):
Right, current Dodgers, James, I know.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
Do you understand he's in a time warp. He's stuck
in like nineteen eighty seven?
Speaker 8 (36:16):
What Jones?
Speaker 2 (36:19):
Yes, Mac Jones is a picture for the Dodgers. He
also plays quarterback for the Niners occasionally.
Speaker 1 (36:25):
It's correct, and one more come on, huh Jones.
Speaker 2 (36:37):
Wow, sweet Lou Johnson, that's from the nineteen sixties Dodgers
A good man.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
I knew Lu when I did Dodgers talk. He was
a very nice man. Lou Jonson, all right, you don't
need to say that, James.

You're trying to get in the demo. James, you're killing
my demo. All right, I got hey, James.

my head against the wall.

Thank you, sir. All right, there is hollowing James. I win,
