Speaker 2 (00:07):
As right, our number one original recipe podcast, No skullduggery
on the Ben Malor Show. We were up all night
to provide you this podcast and here in our number
one it is Game four the World Series, the Dodgers
and the Yankees la looking to close it out and
that didn't happen. Is the Yankees pull away late for
(00:27):
an easy win?
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Thumbs up or thumbs down?
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Are you surprised that the Dave Roberts Dodger bullpen game
didn't work? They got smoked by the Yankees? Also, who
needs to step up for the Dodgers going into Game
five of the World Series? And how are things looking
for Aaron Boone's Yankees now?
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Is they're still down three games to one.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
We'll talk about all that and more right now as
we bring the dagger here an hour number one, the.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Celebration all on the hold. Well come in.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
The beginning of another night of the Benmallor Show.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
I know.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
You've stumbled on to the madness of.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
It all as we are in the air everywhere belly
to belly, we never cut corners, coast to coast, border,
the border and beyond on the vast and sisingly powerful
microphones of fsre ammnating live from the Circle the Winner Circles.
We are broadcasting live from the tyrack dot com studios.

number ten thousand, He's complained ten thousand times. But here
(02:00):
we are to save the night and our lead this hour.
Don't bury the lead, my man.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
All right, We're not.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
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
were holding a broom ready to sweep away the Yankees.
He had John Smoltz and Joe Davis had to call
(02:26):
on Fox and everyone all dressed up ready to party.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
And if you saw the game or not, but wait
another day.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Anthony Volpi a third inny Grand Salami, and that overcame
the early two run bomb by Freddie Freeman, 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
(02:55):
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 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.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Freddie Freeman homered for these six straight series.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
That goes back to his days with the Atlanta Roys,
back in the good old days for Freddie, and had
a two run drive in the first inning, and that
was the second consecutive game 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
(03:42):
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 eighth inning
and the Yankees coming in to that situation on Tuesday night,
had scored just seven run the first three games of
the World Series. But the better story is in the
(04:04):
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 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
(04:27):
combine all of these things together and we are going
to make a bucket of stale popcorn, which is what
I would describe the Dodger bullpen game as a bucket
of stale popular sick. Yeah, they should feel sick. Now,
as far as the thumbs up thumbs down question, in
(04:48):
terms of surprise that the Dodgers got smoked by the
Yankees in Game four, I'm gonna.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Go thumbs down.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
I would have been surprised if the Dodgers had won
even with the early Freddie Freeman home run. Dave Roberts
is a 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
(05:15):
die by the bullpen game. And the Dodgers were juggling
live hand grenades and you juggle enough hand grenades long
enough and called 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 these
(05:37):
for gazy bullpen games. Everyone has to be almost perfect.
You can have maybe one guy be off a little
bit and how did that work out? Yeah, everyone needed
to be perfect? Well, uh 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
(05:59):
in the game. They were both staying at a little
bed and breakfast in the township of the Terrible for
the Dodgers out of the bullpen. They combined those two
combined to allow nine earned runs in just two winnings
of work. Bullpen game. Bumping game. Now, Hudson set the
tone by giving up the Grand Salami, get out the
(06:20):
rye bread and the mustard, Grandma Volpi, the Grand Slam.
Relatively early in the game. The Dodgers 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
(06:45):
River to make sure they had no shot there the Dodgers.
If you don't know what a honey wagon is, just
look it up.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
It was painful. And listen the way I look at this,
Dave Roberts gave the game.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
He didn't want to win that game.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
He didn't try and if they won, he would have
been happy.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
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
better than the Maybe they are. Maybe they are just
that much better, the Dodgers than the Yankees. They can
futch away a game in the World Series.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
I wouldn't have done it.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
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 time I
want to see a bullpen game is in the Cactus
League or the Grapefruit League. I don't want to see
(07:37):
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 the page. So,
in terms of looking ahead to the game coming up
here on Wednesday, who needs to step up for the
(07:58):
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 Flarerity.
He gets the ball very wobbly. Jack Flaherty. He was
solid in Game one of the Fall Classic, although he
was not the reason the Dodgers won. They won because
(08:21):
of Freddie Freeman hitting that Grand Slam. He also, though,
had a problem. And here's the concern. Jack Flaherty is
a guy that you think is just not that tough.
He's a soft guy. He can't handle the road environment.
Now 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
(08:43):
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 day of atonement for Jack Flerity. He can make
amends and prove that he is not a mister softy,
that he can't handle a road playoff spot in a
(09:04):
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 burp But outside of Flaherty, it would be nice.
I'm just saying it would be nice if you're the
Dodgers to see Max Munci, Ti, Oscar Hernandez start warming
(09:25):
things up a little bit.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
These guys have.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
For the most part been chilly willy, and so we'd
like to see that get going a little bit. Now
the last word on the other side. Now this is
not the better story, 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 facing their last rights at this point.
(09:50):
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 paul 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
(10:15):
me explain for those of you all late to the
party in the back of the room there who need
to adjust your hearing aids, you know who you are.
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. Here's
(10:36):
a gift, here's a room service delivery. Just show up,
collect a win. They send out their flimsy relief pitchers,
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
(10:56):
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.
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.
(11:17):
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
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
(11:38):
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
at Dodgers Stadium and have a madhouse at Chavez Ravine.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
That's really the only question.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
But they're gonna win. It's just a matter of when
Dave Robert, It's like, I guess he got it out
of his system. He wanted to give the Mets a game.
He gave them a game, and give the the Yankees
a game. Actually give the Mets two games, and so
we'll see where we go from here. It is the

only read the ones from Ferd Dog and Alf and
a couple other people. But I do randomly pick other
names as well out of the hat, you know, just
a random name that you send in. All right, now,
straight ahead. You know what happened, well, most of what
(13:03):
happened in Game number four the World Series. But now
the rest of the story, the rest of the story.
It's a humdinger of a story. Something that happened, the
subplot the Game four, the World Series, the story that
many are focusing in on. We have new information out
overnight about one of the key actors in Game four
(13:25):
the World Series. We'll get to that, and we will
do it next.

Speaker 2 (14:11):
And we are just warming up a full journey through
the overnight hours, keeping your company here. As the music
stops prematurely, we'll have Mallard to the third degree. Next
hour malord Riddle of the day, as I put my
name on everything an hour three password the word Game
of the Stars will be coming up in our number
(14:32):
four and we're starting out here talking about the World Series.
Yankees get a game, so it's three games to one
as the Dodgers still one win away from the title.
King Rory rights, since says bad night to be an
LA sports fan. Not only did the Dodgers lose, so
did the La Kings to my Sharks. That's two in
a row for San Jose.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
And the future is looking bright?
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Future?
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Is the future really looking bright?
Speaker 2 (14:59):
How do you know that if you looked at the
long term forecast for the Zantals Sharks? Not a burner account, right,
Since says Ben, I am sure that with the level
of pull you have with Dave Roberts and the Boys
in Blue. You personally called them and asked them to
give the Yankees one game to show class and respect
with a gentleman's sweep. Yes, absolutely clearly, O g Art
(15:25):
Puffin rights in, he says number one the mall monologue.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
There it is.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
I would have loved a sweep, but a gentleman's sweep
at the Bronx works just as well, wouldn't you agree?
In other Puffin news, Art Puffin says, I dropped Deontay
Johnson off my fantasy squad, and today he was traded
to the Ravens. Who knew so I reclaimed him. Yeah,
I wouldn't get too excited. He's the number three receiver
in Baltimore. And if you look at what it's a
(15:57):
dead giveaway when you see what a player gets on
the trademark, how valuable they are perceived to be. Deontay
Johnson was worth what a sixth round pick, essentially a
higher sixth round pick a pick swap. So that's not much.
That's next to nothing. Eloy from Compton rites and says, hey, Ben,
I am not a bit surprised. You know, it ain't
(16:19):
a series until Dave Roberts f's up a game. He's done.
He's done in this series. Now I liked Roberts in
that spot. Yeah. Now, Jill writes in she's a long
suffering Yankee fan. She's had to go a whole generation
without a Yankee championship. God bless her, and she says
the Yankees a win game five. But Jill, didn't you
tell me the Yankees would win like game one, game two,
(16:41):
game three? I didn't you tell me that it's one game.
Spacoli rides in from North Carolina. He says he's been
shadow banded by Elon Musk. I don't know why that
would be. He says. The Malard scale of panic right now,
one to ten, he says, is at between a one
in two. Yeah, that's about right. You know me, Spicola,
(17:05):
I've met you a couple of times. You know where
I'm at.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
I'm not worried.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
I'm not Now do we even be worried they get
to a game seven. They're gonna win games. I mean,
they're not gonna get to a game seven. They won't
have to worry about that. Anchovy rights, aren't Anchovy is disgusting?
Is there a more disgusting food than Anchovy's it's got
to be in the top five of everyone's Big Board
of disgusting food. He says Major League Baseball was behind
(17:29):
the loss for the Dodgers tonight. They want to milk
this series for every single dime they can. Well, there
is that conspiracy out there. Bill's Monster, better known as
Derek and Buffalo, is listening to us tonight. He says,
when the Yankees won four in a row will be
one hell of a story. I think they will win
(17:50):
four in a row in the Grapefruit League. Check back
in February and March. That's how That's how that goes. Yes, anyway,
it is the Bend Malershaw. The rest of the story.
They the moment of moments in the World Series. Mookie
Bett's going over to try to catch a ball that
was in foul territory early on in Game four the
(18:12):
World Series, and he got into it with a couple
of these lunatic Yankee fans. The Dodger fans have quite
the reputation, but the Yankee fans, they seem to be
getting a pass.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
Now.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
It's weird. I've been a Yankee stadium over the years
a few times. My brother lives in New York and
every time I go to Yankee Stadium, But it's much
like Dodger Stadium in that in Dodger Stadium, behind home plate,
you have all the Hollywood f's, right, you have all
the entertainment people, the people work at the studios, people
that have made their fortune in media. Most of them
(18:44):
live they live in LA and they work, you know,
work the party scene there and there. But they sit
behind home play. But then as you get out near
the foul poles and out in the pavilion at Dodger Stadium,
that's where the hard o Dodger fan is. That's where
the meat potato Dodger fan that can't really afford to
go to Dodger games but loves the Dodgers so much
(19:05):
because of whoever, they go to Dodger games anyway, they
end up in debt buying Dodger tickets. Those are the
real fans, right. But at Yankee Stadium, my experience in
the Bronx when I've been there over the years is
behind home plate are the Wall Street f's, the people
that make their money in Lower Manhattan and are manipulating
the stock market. So those are the people that are
(19:27):
behind home plate. They probably took a boat to get
over to Yankee Stadium from Lower Manhattan. So those are
the bulk of the Yankeeans. They're the ones that are
off in in the restaurant behind home plate eating while
the game's going on.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
They're not sitting in the seats because they're not really
Yankee fans.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
They just they just have a lot of money and
they figure, why not, I'll go to Yankee Stadium. And
then as you get out to the foul poles, you've
got the guys that are from Jersey, the guys that
from Connecticut and other places that are like the blue
collar Yankee fan. And we saw that because when Mookie
Bets went over to try to catch a foul ball,
(20:02):
not only.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Did the fan interfere.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
With Mookie Bets, but the fan attempted to use the
jaws of life to pry open Mookie bets glove to
knock the ball out of the glove early on in
Game four the World Series, and somebody tracked down that
there were two of them.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
There was one of them, we're in a gray.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Yankee, Aaron Judge, Jersey, and the other had had a
white one on.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
But anyway, the Yankee fan in question.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
We know his name, Austin Coppo Bianco is the guy's name.
He's thirty eight, he's from the He's from Connecticut. And
his response, Now, he was caught on camera trying to
pry open Mookie bets glove, grabbing the other wrist of
Mookie Bets, and he said his response was, Muki was
(20:50):
swearing at us, was his response. He was immediately ejected
from Yankee Stadium. Now, Ac Cordney and I have no
way of verifying this. I'm just telling you what I
found on the internet. Internet investigators claim that this guy,
Austin Capobianco, is a guy that went to college at
the University of Arizona, of all places. How does Arnie
(21:12):
Spanier feel about that? So he went to arizonaccording to
the internet. Is what I read on the internet. So
take it for a grant assault. But I'm repeating it
because I'm a loser. So he apparently went to the
University of Arizona and he works at a restaurant supply company
in West Haven, Connecticut, thirty eight years old, kicked out
of Yankee Stadium for interfering with Mookie Bets. So here's
(21:34):
the thing I have mixed feelings about this. I don't
believe in the faux outrage that social media gives us
and people trying to one up each other. And part
of the problem is this, you shouldn't do that. However,
I didn't say, but I said, however, however, is not
but I said, however, however, part of me longs for
(21:56):
the good old days when players would be intimidated to
go over to the crowd because of what happened at
Yankee Stadium. And as you may or may not know,
in another life, I was fortunate enough to have a
job where I traveled around very briefly, didn't have it
for long, wasn't good at it. But I traveled with
the Dodgers years ago, and I remember going into the
(22:19):
old Shay Stadium and on the bus ride over to Queens,
the guys in the back would be talking about how
they would be romanticizing fans throwing crap at them.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
In those days.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
You know, this goes way back. The Giants still played
at Candlestick Park, Philadelphia was at their old stadium. I mean,
it was a long time ago, and it was a
much different world, But was it really that different? I
think the only different now is everything is documented with
social media and all that, so it's one of those
things where you shouldn't do it. But at the same time,
I'm like, it's a throwback, you know. I remember a
(22:55):
time when pretty much every fan sitting around would try
to interfere with the player and would be just like
this meathead Austin Capobianco apparently is his name, and try
to interfere with Mookie Betts or whoever happened to be
on the outfield, and so he gets ejected. I don't
know if he got banned from Yankee Stadium or not. He'll
probably be back at the game tonight. And those tickets
(23:17):
could not have been cheap. Now, maybe he got them
from work. He according to the Internet, he works at
some restaurants supply company in Connecticut, so maybe they gave
him the tickets. But either way, somebody paid a good
amount of money for those tickets and he didn't even
make it to the second inning. He was ejected in
the second inning.
Speaker 4 (23:36):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
And speaking of the.
Speaker 5 (23:42):
Colts, they are benching former first round quarterback Anthony Richardson
and turning the veteran.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Joe Flacco to start not to touch.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Up your work. Yet he actually never do something like that.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Well, he actually benched himself at he when he took
himself out of the game. If I'll bet you one
thousand dollars, if he had not taken himself out of
the game, he would be.
Speaker 5 (24:00):
Sorry and catch his breath and then go back in.
I don't think he was, you know, stubbing himself out
for the rest of the season.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Now he was. That was that was an act of shame.
Just needed one playoff?
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Come on, Yeah, well that was gonna have a lot
of plays off, a lot of plays off.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
That's not fair. Yeah, are you done? Yes?
Speaker 2 (24:21):
Is that it all right? It is the Bean Mallor
Show as we work our way through the overnight hours,
and this is gonna be I gotta give you my
take here because it's gonna be one of these takes.
If it's it's taken out of context, people say, oh,
you're a douchebag. So the World series, Every World, every
(24:43):
World series for years, one of the major credit card
companies spends a lot of money on advertising, and it's
the stand up to cancer. Moment of silence. Now, this
has been going on a long time. I was fortunate
enough to go to the World Series a few times.
Back in the day, they did this where they if
you're watching the World Series end, you're blind, you know
(25:03):
what I'm talking about. So they pan the crowd and
everyone's they hand out these these signs. You're supposed to
sign the name of someone in your life that is
fighting cancer or unfortunately died of cancer as an honor,
as a tribute that it's this very poignant moment. If
you're watching or listening, you probably heard what happened. So
(25:26):
they did the moment. This is a big deal. A
lot of money is spent, a lot of time is
spent to get the right shot.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
They want to.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Show the Commissioner of Baseball, They want to show the managers,
the players, and the umpires and show the crowd. Is
very poignant moment, very symbolic moment that we're fighting cancer
and all this. So they do the moment of silence
for stand up for cancer. And during the moment of silence,
you hear a Yankee fan yell you suck Freeman. I
(26:04):
do not believe that was Austin Koppabianco. I do not
believe that was him. Now, this is an amazing I'm
looking at my board here and I'm seeing a name
and I actually had to ask, is.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
That the name I'm looking at?
Speaker 2 (26:16):
So there is a caller from Ben Maler's show Passed
that disappeared from the show without a trace, but on
this night of all nights, has chosen to return to

closing in on Halloween.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Here in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2 (26:39):

in my life. I believe it was three years ago. Eddie.

Speaker 2 (28:10):
Been doing for the last three years, real talk. Where
have you been? I know you were getting married? Is

When we separated by a woman? Is that why? Another
woman ruining my listenership? Yo?
Speaker 4 (28:23):
Man?
Speaker 3 (28:23):
Yeah, I'm gonna keep it real with you because time
is an essence. Because really, I'm not even at my
house right now. I'm not my old house right now
because I'm we've been trying to sell it, so I'm
waiting for brokers in the morning, relatives and all that
type ish. But let me tell you what happened it's
just because, like, dude, craziness, political craziness. Me and my
wife was like talking about like the last four years ago.
(28:46):
She wanted Biden, I wanted Trump. I was like, I
was damn sure. I guarantee Trump had that presidency all
in hand locked up. She's like, if you're so sure,
if Trump wins, it's cool, I'll give you something. But
if Trump loses, you can't call the Ben Malord show.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
No, no, dude, no, all right, so you do now,
don't bet the elections next week. Do not bet on
the next election. Who knows who's gonna win. Do not
bet on next week's election.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
I'm telling you, I'll put it on. She put it
on me again like that, I feel I'm calling my
dude because I'm calling it. I'm not even calling from
my own house. I'm calling for a different house.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
Wait, okay, if Trump wins, your back is do we
have to now pull for Trump? Okay?
Speaker 3 (29:32):
If Kamala Hawise wins, man, then they throw me right
off the street. I can't. I can't call no more.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
Oh no, no. Now let me tell you something. But
this is this is not a political show. But now
I have some skin in the game. I you're one
of our core callers, real talk.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
I have all the things to lose a caller because
of a presidential election.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
That's wild man.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
Ye know my wife, you know my wife all day
he's talking about DT Hawris, this, DP Harris that, like
we got daughters. Don't you want U dar to grow up?
Like I'm like, no, I don't want to talk. All right?
Speaker 1 (30:07):
All right, listen, yeah, real talk.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
You we're worried about taxes and things like that. I
don't know, but who cares. Listen, real talk.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
It's great to hear boys.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Okay, So this I will not talk to you forever again.
If if Trump loses on Tuesday, is that it? That's
over for.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
You, yo, Ben, I'm gonna tell it to you like
Eddie told me when you hit me on my d M.
You remember what you told me you like two weeks ago.
Edie's crazy. He said, like tabo, how to shoot d
run in the White House to be cleaning the White House?
Speaker 2 (30:37):
All right? All right, thank you, alright, you're real talk.
All right, But that's how he had he had and
the call there Eddie.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
See that's his famous ending there. He wants to make
sure he gets uh gets.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Dumped, I guess, but anyway, thank you Real Talk. That
was a that was a good line.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
He's just an idiot.
Speaker 4 (30:56):
He hasn't changed it all.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
I love I know.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
I know Edie's married, he's got apparently kids now, and
he's still an a hole. We love that.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
It's do we believe that story? Is there any truth?
Speaker 2 (31:07):
Is there a grain of truth? No chance? No chance? Yeah, no,
there's no way. It's a nice story at all, But
there's no way. Is that that happened after the election?
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Remember it?
Speaker 2 (31:22):
Because my is my father had passed away in like
January second of one, and I forget what day I
came back, but I know his funeral was on the
day they had the thing at the White House where
or not the White House cap at the cat January sixth.
I didn't see any of that because I was a
day of my dad's funeral. But I came back to
(31:43):
work shortly after that, and so that was after the
uh the election. But anyway, whatever, that's That guy was
our one of our callers of the year. I believe
he won Call of the Year and was a regular
caller to the show for a long time from New
York Real Talk and here you go. Random he calls in.
You never know who's gonna call in next. Now, if
(32:05):
Genie and Medford calls in, I'm retiring. If Genie calls
in right now, it's over.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
I'm done.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
That would be something that would be an amazing phone call.
We would make radio history. If Genie can call from
the other side of the Pearly game, or Jimmy Ray
from Tampa Bay. I'm Jimmy Ray from Tampa Bay.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
Button, that's my man.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
That's right, Geenie. Yes, I know I got your pajamas,
your satin pajamas on right now.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
But is the Ben Mallord Show. What a beginning it is? Oh,
what a beginning.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
And the conspiracy theory for the World Series real quick
is that Major League Baseball needed the Yankees to win.
That Dave Roberts did the Major League Baseball people a solid.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
Because TV was going to lose.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
Their took us, the people that run Baseball's television broadcast
for the World Series. Fox could have lost out on
one hundred and fifty million dollars in ad revenue if
the Yankees had lost Game number four, So that was
one hundred and fifty million dollar game that the Dodgers
(33:13):
decided to futch around with like they were on a
Wednesday against the Podres B squad in the Cactus League.
So do with that what you want. The conspiracy theorists
believed that that was all part of it, that one
hundred and fifty nine figure potential AD revenue lost had
the Dodgers won the game on Tuesday night, and so
(33:35):
they don't have to worry about that. The Game five,
first five of the World Series, the way they sell it,
first five of the World Series, forty four point three
million per game thirty second ADS somewhere between four hundred
and sixty five thousand and five hundred and twenty thousand
dollars for the World Series.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
Time out for the who am I?
Speaker 2 (33:55):
Game?
Speaker 1 (33:55):
Man Team of the Hour. The World Series.
Speaker 2 (33:57):

Speaker 2 (00:07):
As right, our number one original recipe podcast, No skullduggery
on the Ben Malor Show. We were up all night
to provide you this podcast and here in our number
one it is Game four the World Series, the Dodgers
and the Yankees la looking to close it out and
that didn't happen. Is the Yankees pull away late for
(00:27):
an easy win?
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Thumbs up or thumbs down?
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Are you surprised that the Dave Roberts Dodger bullpen game
didn't work? They got smoked by the Yankees? Also, who
needs to step up for the Dodgers going into Game
five of the World Series? And how are things looking
for Aaron Boone's Yankees now?
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Is they're still down three games to one.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
We'll talk about all that and more right now as
we bring the dagger here an hour number one, the.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Celebration all on the hold. Well come in.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
The beginning of another night of the Benmallor Show.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
I know.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
You've stumbled on to the madness of.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
It all as we are in the air everywhere belly
to belly, we never cut corners, coast to coast, border,
the border and beyond on the vast and sisingly powerful
microphones of fsre ammnating live from the Circle the Winner Circles.
We are broadcasting live from the tyrack dot com studios.

(02:00):
we are to save the night and our lead this hour.
Don't bury the lead, my man.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
All right, We're not.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
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
were holding a broom ready to sweep away the Yankees.
He had John Smoltz and Joe Davis had to call
(02:26):
on Fox and everyone all dressed up ready to party.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
And if you saw the game or not, but wait
another day.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Anthony Volpi a third inny Grand Salami, and that overcame
the early two run bomb by Freddie Freeman, 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
(02:55):
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 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.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Freddie Freeman homered for these six straight series.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
That goes back to his days with the Atlanta Roys,
back in the good old days for Freddie, and had
a two run drive in the first inning, and that
was the second consecutive game 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
(03:42):
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 eighth inning
and the Yankees coming in to that situation on Tuesday night,
had scored just seven run the first three games of
the World Series. But the better story is in the
(04:04):
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 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
(04:27):
combine all of these things together and we are going
to make a bucket of stale popcorn, which is what
I would describe the Dodger bullpen game as a bucket
of stale popular sick. Yeah, they should feel sick. Now,
as far as the thumbs up thumbs down question, in
(04:48):
terms of surprise that the Dodgers got smoked by the
Yankees in Game four, I'm gonna.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Go thumbs down.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
I would have been surprised if the Dodgers had won
even with the early Freddie Freeman home run. Dave Roberts
is a 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
(05:15):
die by the bullpen game. And the Dodgers were juggling
live hand grenades and you juggle enough hand grenades long
enough and called 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 these
(05:37):
for gazy bullpen games. Everyone has to be almost perfect.
You can have maybe one guy be off a little
bit and how did that work out? Yeah, everyone needed
to be perfect? Well, uh 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
(05:59):
in the game. They were both staying at a little
bed and breakfast in the township of the Terrible for
the Dodgers out of the bullpen. They combined those two
combined to allow nine earned runs in just two winnings
of work. Bullpen game. Bumping game. Now, Hudson set the
tone by giving up the Grand Salami, get out the
(06:20):
rye bread and the mustard, Grandma Volpi, the Grand Slam.
Relatively early in the game. The Dodgers 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
(06:45):
River to make sure they had no shot there the Dodgers.
If you don't know what a honey wagon is, just
look it up.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
It was painful. And listen the way I look at this,
Dave Roberts gave the game.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
He didn't want to win that game.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
He didn't try and if they won, he would have
been happy.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
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
better than the Maybe they are. Maybe they are just
that much better, the Dodgers than the Yankees. They can
futch away a game in the World Series.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
I wouldn't have done it.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
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 time I
want to see a bullpen game is in the Cactus
League or the Grapefruit League. I don't want to see
(07:37):
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 the page. So,
in terms of looking ahead to the game coming up
here on Wednesday, who needs to step up for the
(07:58):
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 Flarerity.
He gets the ball very wobbly. Jack Flaherty. He was
solid in Game one of the Fall Classic, although he
was not the reason the Dodgers won. They won because
(08:21):
of Freddie Freeman hitting that Grand Slam. He also, though,
had a problem. And here's the concern. Jack Flaherty is
a guy that you think is just not that tough.
He's a soft guy. He can't handle the road environment.
Now 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
(08:43):
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 day of atonement for Jack Flerity. He can make
amends and prove that he is not a mister softy,
that he can't handle a road playoff spot in a
(09:04):
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 burp But outside of Flaherty, it would be nice.
I'm just saying it would be nice if you're the
Dodgers to see Max Munci, Ti, Oscar Hernandez start warming
(09:25):
things up a little bit.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
These guys have.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
For the most part been chilly willy, and so we'd
like to see that get going a little bit. Now
the last word on the other side. Now this is
not the better story, 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 facing their last rights at this point.
(09:50):
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 paul 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
(10:15):
me explain for those of you all late to the
party in the back of the room there who need
to adjust your hearing aids, you know who you are.
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. Here's
(10:36):
a gift, here's a room service delivery. Just show up,
collect a win. They send out their flimsy relief pitchers,
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
(10:56):
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.
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.
(11:17):
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
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
(11:38):
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
at Dodgers Stadium and have a madhouse at Chavez Ravine.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
That's really the only question.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
But they're gonna win. It's just a matter of when
Dave Robert, It's like, I guess he got it out
of his system. He wanted to give the Mets a game.
He gave them a game, and give the the Yankees
a game. Actually give the Mets two games, and so
we'll see where we go from here. It is the

news guy, You're announcer guy. I'm at Eddie on Fox Sheffalosa, Rightephalosa,
(14:02):
that's not his name, Chef boy r d that Chef
Cephalosa at Alillthtirack dot com. Fox Sports Radio Studios. It's
Ben Mahler.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
And we are just warming up a full journey through
the overnight hours, keeping your company here. As the music
stops prematurely, we'll have Mallard to the third degree. Next
hour malord Riddle of the day, as I put my
name on everything an hour three password the word Game
of the Stars will be coming up in our number
(14:32):
four and we're starting out here talking about the World Series.
Yankees get a game, so it's three games to one
as the Dodgers still one win away from the title.
King Rory rights, since says bad night to be an
LA sports fan. Not only did the Dodgers lose, so
did the La Kings to my Sharks. That's two in
a row for San Jose.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
And the future is looking bright?
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Future?
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Is the future really looking bright?
Speaker 2 (14:59):
How do you know that if you looked at the
long term forecast for the Zantals Sharks? Not a burner account, right,
Since says Ben, I am sure that with the level
of pull you have with Dave Roberts and the Boys
in Blue. You personally called them and asked them to
give the Yankees one game to show class and respect
with a gentleman's sweep. Yes, absolutely clearly, O g Art
(15:25):
Puffin rights in, he says number one the mall monologue.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
There it is.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
I would have loved a sweep, but a gentleman's sweep
at the Bronx works just as well, wouldn't you agree?
In other Puffin news, Art Puffin says, I dropped Deontay
Johnson off my fantasy squad, and today he was traded
to the Ravens. Who knew so I reclaimed him. Yeah,
I wouldn't get too excited. He's the number three receiver
in Baltimore. And if you look at what it's a
(15:57):
dead giveaway when you see what a player gets on
the trademark, how valuable they are perceived to be. Deontay
Johnson was worth what a sixth round pick, essentially a
higher sixth round pick a pick swap. So that's not much.
That's next to nothing. Eloy from Compton rites and says, hey, Ben,
I am not a bit surprised. You know, it ain't
(16:19):
a series until Dave Roberts f's up a game. He's done.
He's done in this series. Now I liked Roberts in
that spot. Yeah. Now, Jill writes in she's a long
suffering Yankee fan. She's had to go a whole generation
without a Yankee championship. God bless her, and she says
the Yankees a win game five. But Jill, didn't you
tell me the Yankees would win like game one, game two,
(16:41):
game three? I didn't you tell me that it's one game.
Spacoli rides in from North Carolina. He says he's been
shadow banded by Elon Musk. I don't know why that
would be. He says. The Malard scale of panic right now,
one to ten, he says, is at between a one
in two. Yeah, that's about right. You know me, Spicola,
(17:05):
I've met you a couple of times. You know where
I'm at.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
I'm not worried.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
I'm not Now do we even be worried they get
to a game seven. They're gonna win games. I mean,
they're not gonna get to a game seven. They won't
have to worry about that. Anchovy rights, aren't Anchovy is disgusting?
Is there a more disgusting food than Anchovy's it's got
to be in the top five of everyone's Big Board
of disgusting food. He says Major League Baseball was behind
(17:29):
the loss for the Dodgers tonight. They want to milk
this series for every single dime they can. Well, there
is that conspiracy out there. Bill's Monster, better known as
Derek and Buffalo, is listening to us tonight. He says,
when the Yankees won four in a row will be
one hell of a story. I think they will win
(17:50):
four in a row in the Grapefruit League. Check back
in February and March. That's how That's how that goes. Yes, anyway,
it is the Bend Malershaw. The rest of the story.
They the moment of moments in the World Series. Mookie
Bett's going over to try to catch a ball that
was in foul territory early on in Game four the
(18:12):
World Series, and he got into it with a couple
of these lunatic Yankee fans. The Dodger fans have quite
the reputation, but the Yankee fans, they seem to be
getting a pass.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
Now.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
It's weird. I've been a Yankee stadium over the years
a few times. My brother lives in New York and
every time I go to Yankee Stadium, But it's much
like Dodger Stadium in that in Dodger Stadium, behind home plate,
you have all the Hollywood f's, right, you have all
the entertainment people, the people work at the studios, people
that have made their fortune in media. Most of them
(18:44):
live they live in LA and they work, you know,
work the party scene there and there. But they sit
behind home play. But then as you get out near
the foul poles and out in the pavilion at Dodger Stadium,
that's where the hard o Dodger fan is. That's where
the meat potato Dodger fan that can't really afford to
go to Dodger games but loves the Dodgers so much
(19:05):
because of whoever, they go to Dodger games anyway, they
end up in debt buying Dodger tickets. Those are the
real fans, right. But at Yankee Stadium, my experience in
the Bronx when I've been there over the years is
behind home plate are the Wall Street f's, the people
that make their money in Lower Manhattan and are manipulating
the stock market. So those are the people that are
(19:27):
behind home plate. They probably took a boat to get
over to Yankee Stadium from Lower Manhattan. So those are
the bulk of the Yankeeans. They're the ones that are
off in in the restaurant behind home plate eating while
the game's going on.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
They're not sitting in the seats because they're not really
Yankee fans.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
They just they just have a lot of money and
they figure, why not, I'll go to Yankee Stadium. And
then as you get out to the foul poles, you've
got the guys that are from Jersey, the guys that
from Connecticut and other places that are like the blue
collar Yankee fan. And we saw that because when Mookie
Bets went over to try to catch a foul ball,
(20:02):
not only.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Did the fan interfere.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
With Mookie Bets, but the fan attempted to use the
jaws of life to pry open Mookie bets glove to
knock the ball out of the glove early on in
Game four the World Series, and somebody tracked down that
there were two of them.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
There was one of them, we're in a gray.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Yankee, Aaron Judge, Jersey, and the other had had a
white one on.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
But anyway, the Yankee fan in question.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
We know his name, Austin Coppo Bianco is the guy's name.
He's thirty eight, he's from the He's from Connecticut. And
his response, Now, he was caught on camera trying to
pry open Mookie bets glove, grabbing the other wrist of
Mookie Bets, and he said his response was, Muki was
(20:50):
swearing at us, was his response. He was immediately ejected
from Yankee Stadium. Now, Ac Cordney and I have no
way of verifying this. I'm just telling you what I
found on the internet. Internet investigators claim that this guy,
Austin Capobianco, is a guy that went to college at
the University of Arizona, of all places. How does Arnie
(21:12):
Spanier feel about that? So he went to arizonaccording to
the internet. Is what I read on the internet. So
take it for a grant assault. But I'm repeating it
because I'm a loser. So he apparently went to the
University of Arizona and he works at a restaurant supply company
in West Haven, Connecticut, thirty eight years old, kicked out
of Yankee Stadium for interfering with Mookie Bets. So here's
(21:34):
the thing I have mixed feelings about this. I don't
believe in the faux outrage that social media gives us
and people trying to one up each other. And part
of the problem is this, you shouldn't do that. However,
I didn't say, but I said, however, however, is not
but I said, however, however, part of me longs for
(21:56):
the good old days when players would be intimidated to
go over to the crowd because of what happened at
Yankee Stadium. And as you may or may not know,
in another life, I was fortunate enough to have a
job where I traveled around very briefly, didn't have it
for long, wasn't good at it. But I traveled with
the Dodgers years ago, and I remember going into the
(22:19):
old Shay Stadium and on the bus ride over to Queens,
the guys in the back would be talking about how
they would be romanticizing fans throwing crap at them.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
In those days.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
You know, this goes way back. The Giants still played
at Candlestick Park, Philadelphia was at their old stadium. I mean,
it was a long time ago, and it was a
much different world, But was it really that different? I
think the only different now is everything is documented with
social media and all that, so it's one of those
things where you shouldn't do it. But at the same time,
I'm like, it's a throwback, you know. I remember a
(22:55):
time when pretty much every fan sitting around would try
to interfere with the player and would be just like
this meathead Austin Capobianco apparently is his name, and try
to interfere with Mookie Betts or whoever happened to be
on the outfield, and so he gets ejected. I don't
know if he got banned from Yankee Stadium or not. He'll
probably be back at the game tonight. And those tickets
(23:17):
could not have been cheap. Now, maybe he got them
from work. He according to the Internet, he works at
some restaurants supply company in Connecticut, so maybe they gave
him the tickets. But either way, somebody paid a good
amount of money for those tickets and he didn't even
make it to the second inning. He was ejected in
the second inning.
Speaker 4 (23:36):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
And speaking of the.
Speaker 5 (23:42):
Colts, they are benching former first round quarterback Anthony Richardson
and turning the veteran.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Joe Flacco to start not to touch.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Up your work. Yet he actually never do something like that.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Well, he actually benched himself at he when he took
himself out of the game. If I'll bet you one
thousand dollars, if he had not taken himself out of
the game, he would be.
Speaker 5 (24:00):
Sorry and catch his breath and then go back in.
I don't think he was, you know, stubbing himself out
for the rest of the season.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Now he was. That was that was an act of shame.
Just needed one playoff?
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Come on, Yeah, well that was gonna have a lot
of plays off, a lot of plays off.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
That's not fair. Yeah, are you done? Yes?
Speaker 2 (24:21):
Is that it all right? It is the Bean Mallor
Show as we work our way through the overnight hours,
and this is gonna be I gotta give you my
take here because it's gonna be one of these takes.
If it's it's taken out of context, people say, oh,
you're a douchebag. So the World series, Every World, every
(24:43):
World series for years, one of the major credit card
companies spends a lot of money on advertising, and it's
the stand up to cancer. Moment of silence. Now, this
has been going on a long time. I was fortunate
enough to go to the World Series a few times.
Back in the day, they did this where they if
you're watching the World Series end, you're blind, you know
(25:03):
what I'm talking about. So they pan the crowd and
everyone's they hand out these these signs. You're supposed to
sign the name of someone in your life that is
fighting cancer or unfortunately died of cancer as an honor,
as a tribute that it's this very poignant moment. If
you're watching or listening, you probably heard what happened. So
(25:26):
they did the moment. This is a big deal. A
lot of money is spent, a lot of time is
spent to get the right shot.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
They want to.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Show the Commissioner of Baseball, They want to show the managers,
the players, and the umpires and show the crowd. Is
very poignant moment, very symbolic moment that we're fighting cancer
and all this. So they do the moment of silence
for stand up for cancer. And during the moment of silence,
you hear a Yankee fan yell you suck Freeman. I
(26:04):
do not believe that was Austin Koppabianco. I do not
believe that was him. Now, this is an amazing I'm
looking at my board here and I'm seeing a name
and I actually had to ask, is.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
That the name I'm looking at?
Speaker 2 (26:16):
So there is a caller from Ben Maler's show Passed
that disappeared from the show without a trace, but on
this night of all nights, has chosen to return to
the show. Here, in this random night in late October,
(26:37):
closing in on Halloween.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Here in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
A caller that we last spoke to. I think I
believe I know exactly when. It was very traumatic moment
in my life. I believe it was three years ago. Eddie.
Do you know which callers on hold right now? You
want to take a guess?
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Eddie?
Speaker 5 (26:54):
H is it real talk?
Speaker 2 (26:56):
Let's find out right now. Let's go to the warm
line and say, hell, oh caller, you're on the air,

Gentlemen? Uh? This is not a stake call. Is the
only talk in the house that you get for those
who are no stalagic I want to get I want
forget to you, just like.
Speaker 2 (27:16):

Yo?
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Dude?
Speaker 3 (27:53):
First things first, man, your show, Dude, I'll listen to
luck I used to, but when I do listen to it, man,
you are firing them all cylinders as always.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
My dude, you sound real good, well, thank you, real talk,
so we must know real talk. I don't don't praise
cool who cares about him?
Speaker 1 (28:08):
I want to know. I want to know what you've.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Been doing for the last three years, real talk. Where
have you been? I know you were getting married? Is
that why is it a woman that chased you away?
When we separated by a woman? Is that why? Another
woman ruining my listenership? Yo?
Speaker 4 (28:23):
Man?
Speaker 3 (28:23):
Yeah, I'm gonna keep it real with you because time
is an essence. Because really, I'm not even at my
house right now. I'm not my old house right now
because I'm we've been trying to sell it, so I'm
waiting for brokers in the morning, relatives and all that
type ish. But let me tell you what happened it's
just because, like, dude, craziness, political craziness. Me and my
wife was like talking about like the last four years ago.
(28:46):
She wanted Biden, I wanted Trump. I was like, I
was damn sure. I guarantee Trump had that presidency all
in hand locked up. She's like, if you're so sure,
if Trump wins, it's cool, I'll give you something. But
if Trump loses, you can't call the Ben Malord show.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
No, no, dude, no, all right, so you do now,
don't bet the elections next week. Do not bet on
the next election. Who knows who's gonna win. Do not
bet on next week's election.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
I'm telling you, I'll put it on. She put it
on me again like that, I feel I'm calling my
dude because I'm calling it. I'm not even calling from
my own house. I'm calling for a different house.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
Wait, okay, if Trump wins, your back is do we
have to now pull for Trump? Okay?
Speaker 3 (29:32):
If Kamala Hawise wins, man, then they throw me right
off the street. I can't. I can't call no more.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
Oh no, no. Now let me tell you something. But
this is this is not a political show. But now
I have some skin in the game. I you're one
of our core callers, real talk.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
I have all the things to lose a caller because
of a presidential election.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
That's wild man.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
Ye know my wife, you know my wife all day
he's talking about DT Hawris, this, DP Harris that, like
we got daughters. Don't you want U dar to grow up?
Like I'm like, no, I don't want to talk. All right?
Speaker 1 (30:07):
All right, listen, yeah, real talk.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
You we're worried about taxes and things like that. I
don't know, but who cares. Listen, real talk.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
It's great to hear boys.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Okay, So this I will not talk to you forever again.
If if Trump loses on Tuesday, is that it? That's
over for.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
You, yo, Ben, I'm gonna tell it to you like
Eddie told me when you hit me on my d M.
You remember what you told me you like two weeks ago.
Edie's crazy. He said, like tabo, how to shoot d
run in the White House to be cleaning the White House?
Speaker 2 (30:37):
All right? All right, thank you, alright, you're real talk.
All right, But that's how he had he had and
the call there Eddie.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
See that's his famous ending there. He wants to make
sure he gets uh gets.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Dumped, I guess, but anyway, thank you Real Talk. That
was a that was a good line.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
He's just an idiot.
Speaker 4 (30:56):
He hasn't changed it all.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
I love I know.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
I know Edie's married, he's got apparently kids now, and
he's still an a hole. We love that.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
It's do we believe that story? Is there any truth?
Speaker 2 (31:07):
Is there a grain of truth? No chance? No chance? Yeah, no,
there's no way. It's a nice story at all, But
there's no way. Is that that happened after the election?
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Remember it?
Speaker 2 (31:22):
Because my is my father had passed away in like
January second of one, and I forget what day I
came back, but I know his funeral was on the
day they had the thing at the White House where
or not the White House cap at the cat January sixth.
I didn't see any of that because I was a
day of my dad's funeral. But I came back to
(31:43):
work shortly after that, and so that was after the
uh the election. But anyway, whatever, that's That guy was
our one of our callers of the year. I believe
he won Call of the Year and was a regular
caller to the show for a long time from New
York Real Talk and here you go. Random he calls in.
You never know who's gonna call in next. Now, if
(32:05):
Genie and Medford calls in, I'm retiring. If Genie calls
in right now, it's over.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
I'm done.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
That would be something that would be an amazing phone call.
We would make radio history. If Genie can call from
the other side of the Pearly game, or Jimmy Ray
from Tampa Bay. I'm Jimmy Ray from Tampa Bay.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
Button, that's my man.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
That's right, Geenie. Yes, I know I got your pajamas,
your satin pajamas on right now.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
But is the Ben Mallord Show. What a beginning it is? Oh,
what a beginning.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
And the conspiracy theory for the World Series real quick
is that Major League Baseball needed the Yankees to win.
That Dave Roberts did the Major League Baseball people a solid.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
Because TV was going to lose.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
Their took us, the people that run Baseball's television broadcast
for the World Series. Fox could have lost out on
one hundred and fifty million dollars in ad revenue if
the Yankees had lost Game number four, So that was
one hundred and fifty million dollar game that the Dodgers
(33:13):
decided to futch around with like they were on a
Wednesday against the Podres B squad in the Cactus League.
So do with that what you want. The conspiracy theorists
believed that that was all part of it, that one
hundred and fifty nine figure potential AD revenue lost had
the Dodgers won the game on Tuesday night, and so
(33:35):
they don't have to worry about that. The Game five,
first five of the World Series, the way they sell it,
first five of the World Series, forty four point three
million per game thirty second ADS somewhere between four hundred
and sixty five thousand and five hundred and twenty thousand
dollars for the World Series.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
Time out for the who am I?
Speaker 2 (33:55):
