Bear the lead Momanda, We're.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Not gonna bury the lead. Colm down, We're not gonna
bury the leads to our lead storry. This hour, rather,
Rob is from the Bronx. I assume you know what
happened by now, but maybe not. Maybe you've been hiding
by the river down by the river there somewhere.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
But Game five, Game five World Series, Dodgers coming into
the game up three games to one, chance to win
the title in New York and the Yankees trying to
head back to LA for a game that would have
been played on Friday night, And man, did it look
good early for the Yankees?
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Did it not? Right?
Speaker 2 (02:31):
I mean, come on, you know, if you're watching or listening,
you heard, if you didn't know, Aaron Judge, Jazz Chisholm
Junior home runs early, gian Carlos Stanton at a home run,
putting the bomb in the Bronx Bombers, and the Yankees
had a five nothing lead and Garrett Cole was on
(02:52):
the minds like, well, there's no way the Yankees is
going to lose that game.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
There's a zero chance this game's over.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
The troll were starting to warm up, the cockroaches were
starting to crawl out behind the refrigerator.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
The same old Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Here we go again, Here we go again, Yep, yep, yep,
whole thing. And then abra cadabra, hocus pocus. Just like that,
the Dodgers overcome a five run deficit, the greatest comeback
in an elimination game of a World Series of all time.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
And they got a lot of help from their friends,
their friends.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
And I'll tell you what, I'd give Aaron Judge a
game ball. I would give volt Be a game ball
I would Boy, today suck on defense. My god, they
even practice. I don't think they practice. I think they
only practice hitting.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
The Yankees. They don't practice defense. At least if they
do practice defense, they're wasting their time. Wow are they terrible?
But the Dodgers the most exciting playing baseball. A sackfly.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
The Dodgers got a couple of flies, Gavin Lux and
Mookie Betts in the.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Eighth inning, and they win.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
It's seven to six. The final, the eighth World championship
in Dodger history, of though we count the ones really
only in LA, but they win franchise eighth title all time.
And Walker Buehler doing something the Dodgers rarely do, asked
to go above and beyond the call of duty normally,
the Dodgers said, just do the bare minom that drives
me crazy.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
You know that I love the Dodgers, but it drives
me nuts.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Like to me, playoff baseball and the postseason is all
about testing the boundaries of the human body. Very rarely
do the Dodgers do that. And Walker Buehler, it was
his day to throw on the side, but he came
in and he put the finishing touches. Although the game
was really run, it was one in the eighth inning
because that was with the meat of the Yankee lineup.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
But nonetheless, Walker.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Buehler came in, first relief appearance since twenty eighteen, and
he nailed it down and pitched a perfect ninth inning,
struck out formed Dodger House for symbolic moments. Here the
guy that was traded by the Dodgers to get Mookie
Betts from the Red Sox is the guy that's now
in the Yankees, who struck out to close out the game.
(05:11):
But Walker Buler first major League save ball game over series,
over season over, as the Doyers are the Kings of
Major League Baseball. And I'll tell you right now, I
was driving in here. I left right after the game,
and I was treated to Disney fireworks as I was
(05:33):
cruising in here.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
It was very.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Reminiscent of what happened during the pandemic back in the day.
And I know in La Here a lot of people
have access to those Mexican fireworks, man, and they are
going for it. It is like in Shane. I thought
I was in Fallujah. There were so many explosions going
off on my way in. But the Dodgers are the champs.
So let us discuss the question what is your level
(05:58):
of surprise? Your level of surprise at the Dodgers come
back down five to nothing and they win the championship.
So I have Casey at the bat, Shakespeare and remote control,
and we will combine all of these.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Things together and we will have.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
A celebratory parade, which they're going to have in Los
Angeles the day after Halloween. But the first thought I
have on this if you were to dust off an
old friend the Malord scale of astonishment one to ten,
with ten being o mg, that would be a ten. Right,
(06:39):
So I'm going to be measured here. I don't want
to be a shock jock and be over the top.
But when it was five to nothing in the middle
innings and it looked like the Dodgers were about to
call off the dogs and try to fight another day
on Friday in game six, and then to see them
come back, this is on the Malord scale of astonishment,
(07:00):
and I don't want to be too dramatic. Nine hundred
ninety nine, Uh, that's where it was. I was at
nine hundred ninety nine on the mauscale of the storm.
Treet was absolutely bananas, right, it was bonkers, was all that,
and great on so many levels, right, so many levels.
When it's five to nothing, you know, I felt like
I felt like a pastromi because I was getting peppered
(07:22):
by my annoying friends who are on the East Coast
or Yankee fans who were how you doing, Dodger boy, Yeah,
same old Dodgers, right.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
My favorite a friend of mine I've known for years
who clearly does not listen to anything I ever say
on the radio.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
The Yankees have all the momentum.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
How'd that work out? How's that? How's that momentum? How's
that doing? Is that good? You enjoying that momentum?
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Yeah? You losers? Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
So then the tide turned and boidered it turn. And
if you're a baseball person, you probably heard somewhere along
the way there's the famous poem Casey at the back,
there's no joy in Mudville. But I'd like to bring
up a different Casey here for a second. That would
be former Brooklyn and New York Yankee manager Casey Stangle
And I quote him all the time, the immortal words
(08:16):
of Casey Stangele, who pointed out so eloquently, way before
my time and before your time, that most ballgames are lost,
not one. And this is a great example of that
is a great example. It was glorious. It was a
tsunami of mistakes, fundamentally flawed by the New York Yankees there.
(08:38):
And I just to give you a follow up, those
annoying New Yorkers who were texting me during the game
as they were up five to nothing and they were
prematurely celebrating having a grand time. Yeah, radio silence, radio
silence when the sinkhole opened up and they fell in there.
So TV's bloopers and practical jokes watching the Yankees try
(08:59):
to play defense there, whether it's not covering first base.
He even had Catcher's interference. How often do you see
that man?
Speaker 1 (09:07):
All right? Now?
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Page two here, So as we look at continued to
break down the Dodgers winning the championship here, how can
you put into context the performance by Freddie Freeman in
the World Series. Now, he took home the MVP on
as Freddie Freeman, but this is really the Shakespearean wisdom.
It's Shakespeare's wisdom what Freddie Freeman did here. It's the
(09:30):
stuff that dreams are made of. It is, I mean,
this is the masterclass on stepping up. And one of
my pet peeves in this era of the Dodgers is,
oftentimes their biggest stars have been Zero's in big games.
It drives me insane. But Freddie Freeman's not on that
naughty list. Freddie Freeman went out there, put his big
(09:51):
boy pants on. The lights were not too bright, the
stage was not too big, all those cliches. He hits
a two run single in this game. Part of the
Dodger rally had twelve RBIs in the World Series, most
tying the all time record. Bobby Richardson back sixty plus
years ago, almost seventy years ago and voted World Series MVP,
(10:13):
and rightfully so, there's nobody else that could have been
the MVP. So the Dodgers were right there. They were
one out from losing the opener and the defining moment,
even with this bonkers game in Game five, the defining
moment will still be years from now when we look
back at this, it'll be the Freddie Freeman Grand Slam,
very similar to nineteen eighty eight.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
If you're looking for comparisons in that and all you.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Trolls, well, the last time the Dodgers and Yankees played,
and the teams that I won the first two and
then they lost the next blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah. Put that in your pipe and
smoke it. So Freddie Freeman, this is his World Series,
and who knows how many more years is gonna play,
but this is it. He's won before and maybe he'll
win again, but nothing will be quite like this.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Now.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
The last word here as we and we'll be talking
about most of the night. They're not going to spend
the whole night on it, but we'll talk most mostly
baseball throughout the overnight. So how do you put into
context the put the ball on the package here? The
twenty twenty four title does. What does this do? What
(11:18):
does this do for Dave Roberts and the Dodgers in general?
So we'll start with Dave Roberts. I have been very
critical I will remain very critical of Dave Roberts.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
There's a lot of things that annoy me.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
A lot of things that he does, and the Dodgers
do that bother me, asking the bare minimum amount of players.
For example, the bullpen games. I hate those fugazi bullpen games.
I can't stand them. I hate them. I hate them,
I hate them. But fair is fair, right, fair is fair.
And so this is a night Dave Roberts gets some flowers.
You know, enjoy your flowers. You know they die soon,
(11:51):
but enjoy them. So Dodgers win the championship and Dave
Roberts saves his job. He should have been fired. I
would have fired him. I've probably fired him ten times
over the year's Dave Roberts. But the last two years,
absolutely gutless, cowardly baseball by the Dodgers and the playoffs
against the Padres and the Diamondbacks. But they make up
(12:14):
for it, right, You make up for it. You win
the World Series this year, but to get beaten to
a pulp by San Diego and Arizona and then come back.
Roberts was hanging on by his fingernails and he liked
to bite his fingernails.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Right. The Fellows figured it out.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
But this is a textbook example also of something that
we often preached from the bully pulpit here at Fox
Sports Radio that the stats tell you what has.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Happened, not what's going to happen.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Because if you looked at the if you look at
this going into the World Series, the Yankees had better
starting pitching. They the Dodgers had played very well offensively.
But the Yankees with Aaron Judge and Juan Soto, you thought, well,
those two guys are legit. Yankee Stadium all that, even
though the Dodgers at home field, a lot of the
advantages were in favor of the Yankees. So you don't
(13:02):
really worry about the stats. And then the matchups don't
necessarily matter right, The matchups don't necessarily matter.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
The film, watching the highlights and the clips and all that.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
That doesn't really matter. Home Field certainly doesn't matter. Even
the Dodgers had home field, that doesn't matter. The injuries,
the Dodgers were tattered, weather beaten, it didn't matter. All
that matters is who does better in the moment, and
the Dodgers, obviously under the immense pressure, did better than
the choking dog New York Yankees. And to think the
Dodgers with all these great teams they've had over the
(13:34):
last ten to fifteen years, and teams that were healthy
for the most part in the playoffs, and it's this
team that is I'm telling you, they were going to
the back of the refrigerator. They were going through the
Tupperwar trying to find somebody to pitch in some of
these situations here, and they did it. And forget Plan B.
(13:57):
This was playing Z for the Dodgers and the end
up winning the World Series. It all worked and it's
symbolic also that it validates the years of success. One
of the big criticisms I saw Stan cast in a
lifetime Baseball Sports Hank executive used to be the GM
of the Atlanta Hawks back in the day. I saw
(14:17):
him on the dais there and one of the big knocks.
And the Dodgers when they started this, they're like, we're
going to copy the Atlanta Braves of the nineties.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
But the Braves, if you're old enough to remember.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Those Braves teams, and they had MaTx Clavin and Smolts,
they only won one World Series. So it's like, oh,
they were in the World Series a bunch, but they
only won one and they had all the Hall of Famers. Well,
now the Dodgers have won two, and so it's like
a remote control situation. You hit the mute button on
the remote control for the Dodgers, because they win without
(14:48):
their top pitchers. They win a second World Series. They
do it without Otani doing anything. He sucked. He was
terrible in the World Series. His dog decoy would have
been better. Just horrible. And I'm not gonna change my position,
though a lot of you were like, well, you're gonna change,
you know.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
The Dodgers, they they won this. This proves that this
is harder than what happened in twenty twenty. No.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
No, I maintained my position that the twenty twenty World
Series was harder than this and this doesn't change that.
Both the fact that they've won two in this stretch
of time. That was much more difficult than this one,
even with all the injuries and all that. But it
was fundamentally different. That season was fundamentally different. It was
(15:37):
much much harder. We're in basketball, it was much more difficult,
or much easier. Rather, I should say in basketball they
had that three months off before the playoffs. In baseball
it was rapid fire. But we're not here to adjudicate that. Again,
the Dodgers are the champions of baseball. The celebration underway.
How's that Mookie Bets trade working out for Boston? You
(15:58):
guys happy with that return?
Speaker 1 (15:59):
There? Gave your way Mookie Betts.
Speaker 2 (16:01):

massive contract.

I was out at the La Kings game and they
were showing the Uh, you didn't watch the World Series?
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Actually I did watch it. It was being shown on
the Jumbo show, the owner of the end of it.
They didn't watch the like, No, they actually had almost
all of that. But during the game and.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
The King's that bad. They're now showing the Dodger games
on the scoreboard.
Speaker 4 (17:25):
But they were wanting to reward the Dodger fans that
were at the game.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
Kings actually what they want.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Kings actually looked great and beating Vegas.
Speaker 4 (17:32):

a baseball was being played.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
At the baseball game broke out Eddie that the.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
Fans would cheer at times when obviously nothing was going

bit disconcerting. You're like looking up like, well, what happened?
What happened? So but no, I was there and saw
the final out and they had a big celebration there
at formerly Staple Center.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Whatever it's called on it. Yeah, renovator is any good?
Did they do anything different? They spent a lot of
money fixing up it's it's it's you can really tell
in the daytime. They've opened up one end of it there.
You can actually see like sunlight coming in. They've got
like a bar in a eating area out there, whatnot.
They have a new scoreboard and they're tearing up the
street that was in front of Oh they are, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
The rid of the street.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
The street, the street anymore? No want the street anymo? No,
they closed it most of the time they did.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
It was never opened during during game games, so they're
tearing it all up and putting kind of just you know,
places for I don't know, trees.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
And things like that, planning trees.
Speaker 5 (18:37):
I love trees.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
No, it's Halloween and you want to take you guess
the only person on the show dressed up for Halloween?
Speaker 1 (18:42):
You want to I think it's uh, it's not really
hard to guess.
Speaker 5 (18:48):
I'm so shocked that you dressed up today.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
He's not. So is Lorena a little devil? Or is
she a cow? Because there's what does that sound like? Eddie?
Does that sound like that? Wasn't that sound like a cow?
It was a sound effect.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
She's wearing utters, so I don't. I don't know what
are you?
Speaker 1 (19:10):
What is that? What are you wearing? I was wearing
utters on her head? Yes, I can't sell cowers. Okay,
I see horns though it does kind of look with horns.
Why would you want to be a cow?
Speaker 5 (19:24):
I also have a bell on my neck, and I
have a black nose.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Okay, I don't see a black nose. I see it.
Speaker 5 (19:30):
I can kind of blind.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
I'm sure it's not very it's small. It's just the
tip of the tip of the nose there, just the tip,
all right, it is the ben Mouth Show. The Dodgers
have won the championship. How did you celebrate the Dodgers winning.
I got in my car and drove the work. That's
what I did. That's how I sell her.
Speaker 5 (19:49):
The works woke me up.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
I enjoyed the fireworks show. Though it's good.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
I can't afford to go to Disneyland anymore than fireworks. No,
there were plenty of fireworks. I tried to take a video,
but it's illegal. You should not do that way he drived.
I've done p shows on that, but I tried. I
tried to do a video but he didn't capture the
majestic fireworks show that I was getting driving uh into
into La. I mean it was it was wild man,
(20:12):
it was were going crazy, but in demand. So my
phone blew up right after Dodgers one and as I
did a hit with my guy Darcy in New Zealand.
There are people in New Zealand. It's I've already been
on the radio on Thursday, Well, Thursday night. I guess right,
what time is it in New Zealand. It's Thursday night. Yeah,
So I popped up on Darcy Show. In New Zealand,
(20:34):
big baseball fans down there in New Zealand. Several other
people reached out for interview.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
I even did.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
One of the hits I did was and this is
big Eddie. I've never done this but my first appearance.
I've been in radio and broadcasting a long time, but
I had never appeared on a podcast with Monsey, Berschinger
and Bow. I had never I'd never done that, but
they asked me to come on. So I came on
for a few minutes. They're doing like a baseball That
was nice to do, like a base ball podcasts. Yeah,
(21:01):
they all season Yeah, went on there, and then the
first time they've asked me to be honest, I popped
on there.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
It was fun, a good time.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
And then I sat in the back and I contemplated
the time space continuum. And then I came in here
and I did the show. That's how I I think
I'll celebrate this weekend.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
That's what I do. How will you celebrate? I think
I'll just get drunk.
Speaker 5 (21:20):
No popping bottles type.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
I'll eat a really bad meal. I'll eat a really
unhealthy meal. Flashing back to my to the parade. Now,
Roberto was texting me about that. Roberto was texting me
during the game. I wish I could. I probably can't
read most of them. No, I would say, no, yeah, language,
it'll be so fun. He texted me early on in
the game. Game over atrocious. This is when the Yankees
(21:46):
were up fire. Nothing very nice. Way to stick with
your team, he said. If they don't win game six,
they're going to lose the series. It was awesome, it
was it was funny. But no, he said, he's actually, Uh,
I shouldn't say this because you know, I don't get
in trouble to work. But he's I think he's going
to get sick for Friday. He's going to be sick
(22:07):
so he can go. Yeah, he's starting to feel a
little sick and it'll only be.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
A twenty A lot of sick people, I think that day. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Has there been any civil Unresteddy, I've not seen. Has

You know, see it like a good.
Speaker 5 (22:23):
It was just on.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
You didn't see he was he was talking. He was talking.
I was just a talk show. I was talking. I
was not watching. It was not not TV.
Speaker 5 (22:31):
I thought her it was on the TV.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Wow, fair enough, you a little sassy? You know, well,
it's the Coliers. And I didn't know cows were sassy.
I thought cows were meeting. She's a milk moo apparently,
so all.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Right, it is the Ben Mahlor Show.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
As we point to point out all the fun of
the baseball season there, Christ and the Moyesyes, congrats on
the Dodgers winning their first real championship since nineteen eighty.
All these guys they think they're funny. You really, you're
just low information fans.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
You're idiots.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Late night drug tester says, if you're going to do
something in New York, you got to do it. Big
congratulations with the Yankees for the most epic collapse we've
seen since the Falcon super Bowl. No, because even if
the Yankees had won this game, they were still gonna lose.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
And we haven't heard.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
From that that schmuck supermarket Steve, he's a Yankee fan,
he hasn't called in what happened to him? Ferg Dog
says the Mallard blessings strike again. Congratulations on another one
of your teams having postseason success. Between the multiple World Series,
the Super Bowl, and the NBA Final Four. It's horrible,
horrible time of the year for the Trolls. Well, he
(23:42):
were in the final four. There were four teams left.
The Clippers were in the final four a couple of
years ago. They cut down of nets. It's not pathetic.
And now they have the greatest arena in all the NBA.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
How are they doing in that arena?
Speaker 2 (23:51):
They're doing very well. Really, they're doing great. Yet they're
doing outstanding in that arena. They beat Denver and Golden
State on the road.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
How about it in the new arena?
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Though, Listen, it's early in the season, early in the season.
Do you understand it's a long road. The Clippers have
to pace themselves. They have to pace themselves for wlayoffs
down the line, the postseason run.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Kawhi is taking the year off for the playoff. He
does that a lot. He's just waiting for the plaffs.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
All right is the Ben Mahler Show.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
As we press on and on and on into the night, here.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Further and further the lawyers involved. But we haven't taken
a call.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Yet, the Dodgers have won the World Series and this
is a plausibly a sports talk radio show. So let's
go to the phones. And what better way to start
than the home of the Toronto Blue Jays. Here's a
blastom mess.
Speaker 6 (24:45):
Now.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
The other day we heard from Real Talk, and Real
Talk was somebody that we hadn't talked to in four years.
I have not talked to this guy, probably longer than that.
A former Fox Sports radio, a guy you know Eddie.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Oh, this guy. We love this guy and he's back
in Toronto. Oh wait, it's that's it's that Canadian.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Matt is the guy, right, the Canadian Mike from Toronto
is calling in.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
I love this guys, gentlemen, your points.
Speaker 6 (25:14):
And it warms my heart. Here mister Garcia, one of
the the loudest and proudest hockey fan, the Hispanic hockey
fan that I've ever met in my life, was at
the Kings game, representing the Mallow nation, represented sports radio
on behalf of hockey fans everywhere. That was nice to hear.
I picture Ben rolling up and down Santa Monica Sunset Boulevard,
(25:36):
you know, with a one hand on his blue low Rider,
one hand with a Dodger flag rolling up and down
Sunset Boulevard there with Randy Newman's I Love l A
blaring out of the speakers. That wasn't the case, No, no, well,
yeah I did. It was like a boombox in the
Dodger Stadium parking lot holding it up and I love
(25:57):
Las blaring out.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Of the Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Well, Canadian Mike, I did see a bomb on his knees,
so it does count.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
So I did see that, But that's it was.
Speaker 6 (26:03):
It was special. I appreciated seeing chaoscar Hernandez's big, bright smile.
I'll pay all playoffs long lighting up the screens across
the world up on that one. Let him get out
of our city and come to your team. But nice
to see him shine in the biggest stage.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
More importantly, Canadian Mike, it's great to hear your voice.
Number one. We love you. I remember when you I
let you in the studio one time and you took
that time.
Speaker 6 (26:30):
I might have seen you when we were we were
on the ice celebrating the King's Championship together, going.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Yeah, that was how many years ago? Was that? That's
been been a while, that's been yell.
Speaker 6 (26:41):
That was my last title in person. Then you're you're
more elite than me. You've been what now is it?
Does this mean you've experienced every pro sports and college
championship in the city you grew up and living.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
Well, I'm still the big one. I'm waiting for the
big one in Los Angeles. Canadian Mike, I'm waiting. I'm
waiting for the Clippers. That's the big one.
Speaker 6 (27:03):
Well, mister, mister Leonard's knee is a little too damaged.
It looks like maybe he should have stayed here and
we could have won another one. Well, he was here
in Toronto, But what do.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
I know. We want to know what you're up to, Kennedy.
We miss you. We want to know what you're up to. Everything.
Speaker 6 (27:19):
Working my way back towards the West coast there in
Los Angeles, my talents are not being shined the way
they should be. They're not shining the way they should
be here in Toronto. So I'd rather be out in
Los Angeles celebrating the championship, bowling in that lowrider with
the bena, the Dodger blue low rider up and down
Sunset Boulevard with the flag in my hands, a combo
(27:41):
American flag, Dodger flag, you know, celebrating with fans. Yeah,
which co titled team sports victory hits you the best
and most. You're a kid who grew up bands of
all these teams, which you've seen the titles in person.
You're in the locker rooms talking the players, covering this
stuff all year long. Pro sports championship tickles you the most.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Well, like I said, it's when the Clippers win.
Speaker 6 (28:07):
But I have they haven't won yet, but you haven't
experienced it yet.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
Yeah, I have not experienced. I'm waiting for.
Speaker 6 (28:11):
How many titles do you need before you get those
tickles spent? Chase all these trophies you need to know?
Speaker 2 (28:16):
Well, you know, all I do is win, and you know,
Canadian Mike, I am the all time game show winner
on the on the on the radio show. Those titles
mean just as much as the Dodgers Championship. Every time
I beat Eddie, I have a parade.
Speaker 6 (28:27):
And it's not just that, it's the it's the teams
that are represented from Orange County as well. You got
an American League World Series, you got a National League
World Series Stanley Cup from both conferences. I'm actually say
that was an incorrect statement, but.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
You know what I mean I heard listen Canadian there,
I must go, but I love you. Be in contact.
Don't be a stranger and come back to town. Now we'll
go out lunch.
Speaker 6 (28:53):
And appreciate the moments for the fans that aren't as left.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Two guys out there in La I love you, man,
be good Canadian Mike Goss, the great Canadian Mike, one
of my favorites.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
Who's calling in tomorrow? Now? I mean, this is insane.
Speaker 4 (29:07):
Who could be the next long lost Mallard caller that
we haven't heard from in multiple years to call in.
Speaker 5 (29:13):
Tomorrow's Who's the first one that comes to your mind?
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (29:17):
Well, a lot of them are dead, but one that's alive.
Then one's alive. Well, I didn't think we'd ever talked
to real talk again. He called in an idea.
Speaker 5 (29:29):
We could use a Ouiji board to talk to our
dead callers.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
Well, it will be Halloween, right, it is Halloween?
Speaker 2 (29:36):
Well kind of ye here anyway, Yeah, it's kind of
kind of Halloween, you know, so people are out celebrating
like it's it's a Halloween situation.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
Judgmental John, Oh, that's a good one, Judgmental John Old.
Is that the guy in West Virginia. No, he's in
Michigan radio radio Richard. He's probably probably check taking a dirt. NP.
Think he's met the end game there crossed over. He was.
He was pretty old. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
Remember he would call up and at the end he
got a little crazy as like talking about prostitutes.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
Yeah, it was like, what are you doing? Dude?
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Is next level? Anyway? It is the the Ben Malors Show.
As we press on time now for the who am I?
Speaker 1 (30:21):
Game?
Speaker 2 (30:22):
And this is where we pretend to be somebody else.
Thus we call it the who who am I?
Speaker 4 (30:27):
Game?
Speaker 2 (30:27):
We had catcher's interference in the World Series. Shotani went
to first base on catcher's interference, So.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
They didn't happen very often.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
In fact, the last catcher's interference in a World Series
game before Game five on Wednesday by the Yankees was by.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
Me, Who am I?
Speaker 2 (30:45):
I am the last catcher to be guilty of catchers interference?
Speaker 1 (30:48):
Who am I? That is the question? What is the answer.
We'll get to it. We will do it next. However,
it is then not A. It's not B. It's the
Sea block? What hour is it again?
Speaker 2 (31:03):
It's the cow hour? That's right live read one leg?
Why is it always one leg. You know you got
a winning parlay going only to lose it all on.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
That last lousy leg.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
Brutal Well, not anymore, because DraftKings Sportsbook has your back
with progressive parlays.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
It's okay if you lose a leg because you'll still
get paid. So even if you're forsaken by.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
The football gods and taking l you can still walk
away a winner. So try an NFL progressive parlay today
where you can lose a leg and still get paid.
DraftKings we get you, So we got that. The crown
is yours.

Speaker 3 (32:54):
Game?
Speaker 2 (32:54):

Series by the Yankees. Uh, help til Tony get on bait.
One of the many blunders by the Yankees. But the
last catcher's interference in a World Series game before Game
five on Wednesday night was by me, Who am I?
That is the question? What is the answer? Unlet's see,
(33:15):
does anyone know the answer.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
We've got a.

Who else do you have? Page down?
Speaker 2 (34:12):
Rockabilly Rebels says I used to duel with judgmental John
back in the day. He says, when big brother Jake
was on the board, Roberto was in training. Yeah, I
did hear from judgemental John years ago.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
He checked in. He's in Michigan, he's working the dreaded
day shift.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
And I've not heard from him in a long time.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
I'm not I hope he's all right.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
Robin Minnesota says Gene Tennis is the answer of the

Red Sock Great Carlos Quintana from Asshole Mickey, what say you, Eddie.
Speaker 4 (35:02):
Let's go with former Atlanta Brave Philadelphia Phillies catcher Ozzie Virgil.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
Is it Ozzie Virgil for the No, there's not Virgil
the correct answer, though, Eddie, You've got to go all
the way back in the hot top time machine to
the nineteen eighty two World Series. It was Game nine,
it was Game three, rather game from Game nine, Game three,
ninth inning, and it was Ted Simmons of the Milwaukee
(35:28):
Brewers against the Cardinals.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
How soon before we start.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
Seeing confetti from Yankee Stadium being sold on eBay. One
of my buddies has a friend who covers all these
events and he picks up bags of confetti and sells
them on eBay, and he's the guys made a killing
from mostly college football after the National Championship Game. But
(35:57):
I did see it would appear to be confetti on
the outfield the Yankee Stadium. So will some opportunists go
out there with a paper bag and put the baggie
of confetti and sell it. I'll bet somebody will pay
for it. Maybe it's up there already, but somebody will
pay money for confetti.
Speaker 4 (36:15):
I didn't pay for it, but I did grab some
confetti from the championship games that I was at.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
Yeah, you saved a little souvenir I did. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (36:22):
I actually don't tell anybody. I have a cork from
the nineteen ninety seven Marlins World Series in the locker room.
Speaker 1 (36:29):
Yeah. I grabbed a cork that was.
Speaker 5 (36:32):
On the floor, and that was my champagne one.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
Yeah, they were drinking champagne getting hammered, and they were
just I mean, it was a madhouse. It was insane.
The floor was like there was like a foot of water.
It was a champagne on the floor was wild. That
was the first one I've been in like that.
Here we go.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Welcome, it's our number one, and a happy Halloween to
you as we have a spooky look back at Game
five of the World Series Dodgers and Yankees. What is
your level of surprise the Dodgers have come back they
won the championship down five runs? Also, how can you
(00:22):
put into context the performance by Freddie Freeman World Series MVP,
and how do you how do you comment on the
on what this does big picture for Dave Roberts and
the Dodgers as they win the title. We'll talk about
that and a whole lot more right now here. It
is our number one. Now that is how you finish
(00:51):
a World Series. WELCB and not beginning of another night

Speaker 2 (01:56):
Not gonna bury the lead. Colm down, We're not gonna
bury the leads to our lead storry. This hour, rather,
Rob is from the Bronx. I assume you know what
happened by now, but maybe not. Maybe you've been hiding
by the river down by the river there somewhere.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
But Game five, Game five World Series, Dodgers coming into
the game up three games to one, chance to win
the title in New York and the Yankees trying to
head back to LA for a game that would have
been played on Friday night, And man, did it look
good early for the Yankees?
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Did it not? Right?
Speaker 2 (02:31):
I mean, come on, you know, if you're watching or listening,
you heard, if you didn't know, Aaron Judge, Jazz Chisholm
Junior home runs early, gian Carlos Stanton at a home run,
putting the bomb in the Bronx Bombers, and the Yankees
had a five nothing lead and Garrett Cole was on
(02:52):
the minds like, well, there's no way the Yankees is
going to lose that game.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
There's a zero chance this game's over.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
The troll were starting to warm up, the cockroaches were
starting to crawl out behind the refrigerator.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
The same old Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Here we go again, Here we go again, Yep, yep, yep,
whole thing. And then abra cadabra, hocus pocus. Just like that,
the Dodgers overcome a five run deficit, the greatest comeback
in an elimination game of a World Series of all time.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
And they got a lot of help from their friends,
their friends.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
And I'll tell you what, I'd give Aaron Judge a
game ball. I would give volt Be a game ball
I would Boy, today suck on defense. My god, they
even practice. I don't think they practice. I think they
only practice hitting.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
The Yankees. They don't practice defense. At least if they
do practice defense, they're wasting their time. Wow are they terrible?
But the Dodgers the most exciting playing baseball. A sackfly.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
The Dodgers got a couple of flies, Gavin Lux and
Mookie Betts in the.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Eighth inning, and they win.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
It's seven to six. The final, the eighth World championship
in Dodger history, of though we count the ones really
only in LA, but they win franchise eighth title all time.
And Walker Buehler doing something the Dodgers rarely do, asked
to go above and beyond the call of duty normally,
the Dodgers said, just do the bare minom that drives
me crazy.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
You know that I love the Dodgers, but it drives
me nuts.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Like to me, playoff baseball and the postseason is all
about testing the boundaries of the human body. Very rarely
do the Dodgers do that. And Walker Buehler, it was
his day to throw on the side, but he came
in and he put the finishing touches. Although the game
was really run, it was one in the eighth inning
because that was with the meat of the Yankee lineup.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
But nonetheless, Walker.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Buehler came in, first relief appearance since twenty eighteen, and
he nailed it down and pitched a perfect ninth inning,
struck out formed Dodger House for symbolic moments. Here the
guy that was traded by the Dodgers to get Mookie
Betts from the Red Sox is the guy that's now
in the Yankees, who struck out to close out the game.
(05:11):
But Walker Buler first major League save ball game over series,
over season over, as the Doyers are the Kings of
Major League Baseball. And I'll tell you right now, I
was driving in here. I left right after the game,
and I was treated to Disney fireworks as I was
(05:33):
cruising in here.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
It was very.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Reminiscent of what happened during the pandemic back in the day.
And I know in La Here a lot of people
have access to those Mexican fireworks, man, and they are
going for it. It is like in Shane. I thought
I was in Fallujah. There were so many explosions going
off on my way in. But the Dodgers are the champs.
So let us discuss the question what is your level
(05:58):
of surprise? Your level of surprise at the Dodgers come
back down five to nothing and they win the championship.
So I have Casey at the bat, Shakespeare and remote control,
and we will combine all of these.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Things together and we will have.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
A celebratory parade, which they're going to have in Los
Angeles the day after Halloween. But the first thought I
have on this if you were to dust off an
old friend the Malord scale of astonishment one to ten,
with ten being o mg, that would be a ten. Right,
(06:39):
So I'm going to be measured here. I don't want
to be a shock jock and be over the top.
But when it was five to nothing in the middle
innings and it looked like the Dodgers were about to
call off the dogs and try to fight another day
on Friday in game six, and then to see them
come back, this is on the Malord scale of astonishment,
(07:00):
and I don't want to be too dramatic. Nine hundred
ninety nine, Uh, that's where it was. I was at
nine hundred ninety nine on the mauscale of the storm.
Treet was absolutely bananas, right, it was bonkers, was all that,
and great on so many levels, right, so many levels.
When it's five to nothing, you know, I felt like
I felt like a pastromi because I was getting peppered
(07:22):
by my annoying friends who are on the East Coast
or Yankee fans who were how you doing, Dodger boy, Yeah,
same old Dodgers, right.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
My favorite a friend of mine I've known for years
who clearly does not listen to anything I ever say
on the radio.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
The Yankees have all the momentum.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
How'd that work out? How's that? How's that momentum? How's
that doing? Is that good? You enjoying that momentum?
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Yeah? You losers? Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
So then the tide turned and boidered it turn. And
if you're a baseball person, you probably heard somewhere along
the way there's the famous poem Casey at the back,
there's no joy in Mudville. But I'd like to bring
up a different Casey here for a second. That would
be former Brooklyn and New York Yankee manager Casey Stangle
And I quote him all the time, the immortal words
(08:16):
of Casey Stangele, who pointed out so eloquently, way before
my time and before your time, that most ballgames are lost,
not one. And this is a great example of that
is a great example. It was glorious. It was a
tsunami of mistakes, fundamentally flawed by the New York Yankees there.
(08:38):
And I just to give you a follow up, those
annoying New Yorkers who were texting me during the game
as they were up five to nothing and they were
prematurely celebrating having a grand time. Yeah, radio silence, radio
silence when the sinkhole opened up and they fell in there.
So TV's bloopers and practical jokes watching the Yankees try
(08:59):
to play defense there, whether it's not covering first base.
He even had Catcher's interference. How often do you see
that man?
Speaker 1 (09:07):
All right? Now?
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Page two here, So as we look at continued to
break down the Dodgers winning the championship here, how can
you put into context the performance by Freddie Freeman in
the World Series. Now, he took home the MVP on
as Freddie Freeman, but this is really the Shakespearean wisdom.
It's Shakespeare's wisdom what Freddie Freeman did here. It's the
(09:30):
stuff that dreams are made of. It is, I mean,
this is the masterclass on stepping up. And one of
my pet peeves in this era of the Dodgers is,
oftentimes their biggest stars have been Zero's in big games.
It drives me insane. But Freddie Freeman's not on that
naughty list. Freddie Freeman went out there, put his big
(09:51):
boy pants on. The lights were not too bright, the
stage was not too big, all those cliches. He hits
a two run single in this game. Part of the
Dodger rally had twelve RBIs in the World Series, most
tying the all time record. Bobby Richardson back sixty plus
years ago, almost seventy years ago and voted World Series MVP,
(10:13):
and rightfully so, there's nobody else that could have been
the MVP. So the Dodgers were right there. They were
one out from losing the opener and the defining moment,
even with this bonkers game in Game five, the defining
moment will still be years from now when we look
back at this, it'll be the Freddie Freeman Grand Slam,
very similar to nineteen eighty eight.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
If you're looking for comparisons in that and all you.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Trolls, well, the last time the Dodgers and Yankees played,
and the teams that I won the first two and
then they lost the next blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah. Put that in your pipe and
smoke it. So Freddie Freeman, this is his World Series,
and who knows how many more years is gonna play,
but this is it. He's won before and maybe he'll
win again, but nothing will be quite like this.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Now.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
The last word here as we and we'll be talking
about most of the night. They're not going to spend
the whole night on it, but we'll talk most mostly
baseball throughout the overnight. So how do you put into
context the put the ball on the package here? The
twenty twenty four title does. What does this do? What
(11:18):
does this do for Dave Roberts and the Dodgers in general?
So we'll start with Dave Roberts. I have been very
critical I will remain very critical of Dave Roberts.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
There's a lot of things that annoy me.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
A lot of things that he does, and the Dodgers
do that bother me, asking the bare minimum amount of players.
For example, the bullpen games. I hate those fugazi bullpen games.
I can't stand them. I hate them. I hate them,
I hate them. But fair is fair, right, fair is fair.
And so this is a night Dave Roberts gets some flowers.
You know, enjoy your flowers. You know they die soon,
(11:51):
but enjoy them. So Dodgers win the championship and Dave
Roberts saves his job. He should have been fired. I
would have fired him. I've probably fired him ten times
over the year's Dave Roberts. But the last two years,
absolutely gutless, cowardly baseball by the Dodgers and the playoffs
against the Padres and the Diamondbacks. But they make up
(12:14):
for it, right, You make up for it. You win
the World Series this year, but to get beaten to
a pulp by San Diego and Arizona and then come back.
Roberts was hanging on by his fingernails and he liked
to bite his fingernails.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Right. The Fellows figured it out.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
But this is a textbook example also of something that
we often preached from the bully pulpit here at Fox
Sports Radio that the stats tell you what has.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Happened, not what's going to happen.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Because if you looked at the if you look at
this going into the World Series, the Yankees had better
starting pitching. They the Dodgers had played very well offensively.
But the Yankees with Aaron Judge and Juan Soto, you thought, well,
those two guys are legit. Yankee Stadium all that, even
though the Dodgers at home field, a lot of the
advantages were in favor of the Yankees. So you don't
(13:02):
really worry about the stats. And then the matchups don't
necessarily matter right, The matchups don't necessarily matter.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
The film, watching the highlights and the clips and all that.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
That doesn't really matter. Home Field certainly doesn't matter. Even
the Dodgers had home field, that doesn't matter. The injuries,
the Dodgers were tattered, weather beaten, it didn't matter. All
that matters is who does better in the moment, and
the Dodgers, obviously under the immense pressure, did better than
the choking dog New York Yankees. And to think the
Dodgers with all these great teams they've had over the
(13:34):
last ten to fifteen years, and teams that were healthy
for the most part in the playoffs, and it's this
team that is I'm telling you, they were going to
the back of the refrigerator. They were going through the
Tupperwar trying to find somebody to pitch in some of
these situations here, and they did it. And forget Plan B.
(13:57):
This was playing Z for the Dodgers and the end
up winning the World Series. It all worked and it's
symbolic also that it validates the years of success. One
of the big criticisms I saw Stan cast in a
lifetime Baseball Sports Hank executive used to be the GM
of the Atlanta Hawks back in the day. I saw
(14:17):
him on the dais there and one of the big knocks.
And the Dodgers when they started this, they're like, we're
going to copy the Atlanta Braves of the nineties.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
But the Braves, if you're old enough to remember.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Those Braves teams, and they had MaTx Clavin and Smolts,
they only won one World Series. So it's like, oh,
they were in the World Series a bunch, but they
only won one and they had all the Hall of Famers. Well,
now the Dodgers have won two, and so it's like
a remote control situation. You hit the mute button on
the remote control for the Dodgers, because they win without
(14:48):
their top pitchers. They win a second World Series. They
do it without Otani doing anything. He sucked. He was
terrible in the World Series. His dog decoy would have
been better. Just horrible. And I'm not gonna change my position,
though a lot of you were like, well, you're gonna change,
you know.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
The Dodgers, they they won this. This proves that this
is harder than what happened in twenty twenty. No.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
No, I maintained my position that the twenty twenty World
Series was harder than this and this doesn't change that.
Both the fact that they've won two in this stretch
of time. That was much more difficult than this one,
even with all the injuries and all that. But it
was fundamentally different. That season was fundamentally different. It was
(15:37):
much much harder. We're in basketball, it was much more difficult,
or much easier. Rather, I should say in basketball they
had that three months off before the playoffs. In baseball
it was rapid fire. But we're not here to adjudicate that. Again,
the Dodgers are the champions of baseball. The celebration underway.
How's that Mookie Bets trade working out for Boston? You
(15:58):
guys happy with that return?
Speaker 1 (15:59):

Speaker 4 (17:08):
I was out at the La Kings game and they
were showing the Uh, you didn't watch the World Series?
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Actually I did watch it. It was being shown on
the Jumbo show, the owner of the end of it.
They didn't watch the like, No, they actually had almost
all of that. But during the game and.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
The King's that bad. They're now showing the Dodger games
on the scoreboard.
Speaker 4 (17:25):
But they were wanting to reward the Dodger fans that
were at the game.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
Kings actually what they want.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Kings actually looked great and beating Vegas.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
But it was interesting to watch a hockey game while
a baseball was being played.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
At the baseball game broke out Eddie that the.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
Fans would cheer at times when obviously nothing was going
on in the hockey game, and it was a little
bit disconcerting. You're like looking up like, well, what happened?
What happened? So but no, I was there and saw
the final out and they had a big celebration there
at formerly Staple Center.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Whatever it's called on it. Yeah, renovator is any good?
Did they do anything different? They spent a lot of
money fixing up it's it's it's you can really tell
in the daytime. They've opened up one end of it there.
You can actually see like sunlight coming in. They've got
like a bar in a eating area out there, whatnot.
They have a new scoreboard and they're tearing up the
street that was in front of Oh they are, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
The rid of the street.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
The street, the street anymore? No want the street anymo? No,
they closed it most of the time they did.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
It was never opened during during game games, so they're
tearing it all up and putting kind of just you know,
places for I don't know, trees.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
And things like that, planning trees.
Speaker 5 (18:37):
I love trees.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
No, it's Halloween and you want to take you guess
the only person on the show dressed up for Halloween?
Speaker 1 (18:42):
You want to I think it's uh, it's not really
hard to guess.
Speaker 5 (18:48):
I'm so shocked that you dressed up today.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
He's not. So is Lorena a little devil? Or is
she a cow? Because there's what does that sound like? Eddie?
Does that sound like that? Wasn't that sound like a cow?
It was a sound effect.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
She's wearing utters, so I don't. I don't know what
are you?
Speaker 1 (19:10):
What is that? What are you wearing? I was wearing
utters on her head? Yes, I can't sell cowers. Okay,
I see horns though it does kind of look with horns.
Why would you want to be a cow?
Speaker 5 (19:24):
I also have a bell on my neck, and I
have a black nose.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Okay, I don't see a black nose. I see it.
Speaker 5 (19:30):
I can kind of blind.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
I'm sure it's not very it's small. It's just the
tip of the tip of the nose there, just the tip,
all right, it is the ben Mouth Show. The Dodgers
have won the championship. How did you celebrate the Dodgers winning.
I got in my car and drove the work. That's
what I did. That's how I sell her.
Speaker 5 (19:49):
The works woke me up.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
I enjoyed the fireworks show. Though it's good.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
I can't afford to go to Disneyland anymore than fireworks. No,
there were plenty of fireworks. I tried to take a video,
but it's illegal. You should not do that way he drived.
I've done p shows on that, but I tried. I
tried to do a video but he didn't capture the
majestic fireworks show that I was getting driving uh into
into La. I mean it was it was wild man,
(20:12):
it was were going crazy, but in demand. So my
phone blew up right after Dodgers one and as I
did a hit with my guy Darcy in New Zealand.
There are people in New Zealand. It's I've already been
on the radio on Thursday, Well, Thursday night. I guess right,
what time is it in New Zealand. It's Thursday night. Yeah,
So I popped up on Darcy Show. In New Zealand,
(20:34):
big baseball fans down there in New Zealand. Several other
people reached out for interview.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
I even did.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
One of the hits I did was and this is
big Eddie. I've never done this but my first appearance.
I've been in radio and broadcasting a long time, but
I had never appeared on a podcast with Monsey, Berschinger
and Bow. I had never I'd never done that, but
they asked me to come on. So I came on
for a few minutes. They're doing like a baseball That
was nice to do, like a base ball podcasts. Yeah,
(21:01):
they all season Yeah, went on there, and then the
first time they've asked me to be honest, I popped
on there.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
It was fun, a good time.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
And then I sat in the back and I contemplated
the time space continuum. And then I came in here
and I did the show. That's how I I think
I'll celebrate this weekend.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
That's what I do. How will you celebrate? I think
I'll just get drunk.
Speaker 5 (21:20):
No popping bottles type.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
I'll eat a really bad meal. I'll eat a really
unhealthy meal. Flashing back to my to the parade. Now,
Roberto was texting me about that. Roberto was texting me
during the game. I wish I could. I probably can't
read most of them. No, I would say, no, yeah, language,
it'll be so fun. He texted me early on in
the game. Game over atrocious. This is when the Yankees
(21:46):
were up fire. Nothing very nice. Way to stick with
your team, he said. If they don't win game six,
they're going to lose the series. It was awesome, it
was it was funny. But no, he said, he's actually, Uh,
I shouldn't say this because you know, I don't get
in trouble to work. But he's I think he's going
to get sick for Friday. He's going to be sick
(22:07):

little sick and it'll only be.

You know, see it like a good.
Speaker 5 (22:23):

Speaker 1 (22:24):
You didn't see he was he was talking. He was talking.
I was just a talk show. I was talking. I
was not watching. It was not not TV.
Speaker 5 (22:31):
I thought her it was on the TV.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Wow, fair enough, you a little sassy? You know, well,
it's the Coliers. And I didn't know cows were sassy.
I thought cows were meeting. She's a milk moo apparently,
so all.

Right, it is the Ben Mahlor Show.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
As we point to point out all the fun of
the baseball season there, Christ and the Moyesyes, congrats on
the Dodgers winning their first real championship since nineteen eighty.
All these guys they think they're funny. You really, you're
just low information fans.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
You're idiots.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Late night drug tester says, if you're going to do
something in New York, you got to do it. Big
congratulations with the Yankees for the most epic collapse we've
seen since the Falcon super Bowl. No, because even if
the Yankees had won this game, they were still gonna lose.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
And we haven't heard.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
From that that schmuck supermarket Steve, he's a Yankee fan,
he hasn't called in what happened to him? Ferg Dog
says the Mallard blessings strike again. Congratulations on another one
of your teams having postseason success. Between the multiple World Series,
the Super Bowl, and the NBA Final Four. It's horrible,
horrible time of the year for the Trolls. Well, he
(23:42):
were in the final four. There were four teams left.
The Clippers were in the final four a couple of
years ago. They cut down of nets. It's not pathetic.
And now they have the greatest arena in all the NBA.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
How are they doing in that arena?
Speaker 2 (23:51):
They're doing very well. Really, they're doing great. Yet they're
doing outstanding in that arena. They beat Denver and Golden
State on the road.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
How about it in the new arena?
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Though, Listen, it's early in the season, early in the season.
Do you understand it's a long road. The Clippers have
to pace themselves. They have to pace themselves for wlayoffs
down the line, the postseason run.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Kawhi is taking the year off for the playoff. He
does that a lot. He's just waiting for the plaffs.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller

Speaker 1 (24:33):
Further and further the lawyers involved. But we haven't taken
a call.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Yet, the Dodgers have won the World Series and this
is a plausibly a sports talk radio show. So let's
go to the phones. And what better way to start
than the home of the Toronto Blue Jays. Here's a
blastom mess.
Speaker 6 (24:45):
Now.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
The other day we heard from Real Talk, and Real
Talk was somebody that we hadn't talked to in four years.
I have not talked to this guy, probably longer than that.
A former Fox Sports radio, a guy you know Eddie.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Oh, this guy. We love this guy and he's back
in Toronto. Oh wait, it's that's it's that Canadian.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Matt is the guy, right, the Canadian Mike from Toronto
is calling in.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
I love this guys, gentlemen, your points.
Speaker 6 (25:14):
And it warms my heart. Here mister Garcia, one of
the the loudest and proudest hockey fan, the Hispanic hockey
fan that I've ever met in my life, was at
the Kings game, representing the Mallow nation, represented sports radio
on behalf of hockey fans everywhere. That was nice to hear.
I picture Ben rolling up and down Santa Monica Sunset Boulevard,
(25:36):
you know, with a one hand on his blue low Rider,
one hand with a Dodger flag rolling up and down
Sunset Boulevard there with Randy Newman's I Love l A
blaring out of the speakers. That wasn't the case, No, no, well,
yeah I did. It was like a boombox in the
Dodger Stadium parking lot holding it up and I love
(25:57):
Las blaring out.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Of the Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Well, Canadian Mike, I did see a bomb on his knees,
so it does count.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
So I did see that, But that's it was.
Speaker 6 (26:03):
It was special. I appreciated seeing chaoscar Hernandez's big, bright smile.
I'll pay all playoffs long lighting up the screens across
the world up on that one. Let him get out
of our city and come to your team. But nice
to see him shine in the biggest stage.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
More importantly, Canadian Mike, it's great to hear your voice.
Number one. We love you. I remember when you I
let you in the studio one time and you took
that time.
Speaker 6 (26:30):
I might have seen you when we were we were
on the ice celebrating the King's Championship together, going.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Yeah, that was how many years ago? Was that? That's
been been a while, that's been yell.
Speaker 6 (26:41):
That was my last title in person. Then you're you're
more elite than me. You've been what now is it?
Does this mean you've experienced every pro sports and college
championship in the city you grew up and living.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
Well, I'm still the big one. I'm waiting for the
big one in Los Angeles. Canadian Mike, I'm waiting. I'm
waiting for the Clippers. That's the big one.
Speaker 6 (27:03):
Well, mister, mister Leonard's knee is a little too damaged.
It looks like maybe he should have stayed here and
we could have won another one. Well, he was here
in Toronto, But what do.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
I know. We want to know what you're up to, Kennedy.
We miss you. We want to know what you're up to. Everything.
Speaker 6 (27:19):
Working my way back towards the West coast there in
Los Angeles, my talents are not being shined the way
they should be. They're not shining the way they should
be here in Toronto. So I'd rather be out in
Los Angeles celebrating the championship, bowling in that lowrider with
the bena, the Dodger blue low rider up and down
Sunset Boulevard with the flag in my hands, a combo
(27:41):
American flag, Dodger flag, you know, celebrating with fans. Yeah,
which co titled team sports victory hits you the best
and most. You're a kid who grew up bands of
all these teams, which you've seen the titles in person.
You're in the locker rooms talking the players, covering this
stuff all year long. Pro sports championship tickles you the most.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Well, like I said, it's when the Clippers win.
Speaker 6 (28:07):
But I have they haven't won yet, but you haven't
experienced it yet.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
Yeah, I have not experienced. I'm waiting for.
Speaker 6 (28:11):
How many titles do you need before you get those
tickles spent? Chase all these trophies you need to know?
Speaker 2 (28:16):
Well, you know, all I do is win, and you know,
Canadian Mike, I am the all time game show winner
on the on the on the radio show. Those titles
mean just as much as the Dodgers Championship. Every time
I beat Eddie, I have a parade.
Speaker 6 (28:27):
And it's not just that, it's the it's the teams
that are represented from Orange County as well. You got
an American League World Series, you got a National League
World Series Stanley Cup from both conferences. I'm actually say
that was an incorrect statement, but.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
You know what I mean I heard listen Canadian there,
I must go, but I love you. Be in contact.
Don't be a stranger and come back to town. Now we'll
go out lunch.
Speaker 6 (28:53):
And appreciate the moments for the fans that aren't as left.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Two guys out there in La I love you, man,
be good Canadian Mike Goss, the great Canadian Mike, one
of my favorites.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
Who's calling in tomorrow? Now? I mean, this is insane.
Speaker 4 (29:07):
Who could be the next long lost Mallard caller that
we haven't heard from in multiple years to call in.
Speaker 5 (29:13):
Tomorrow's Who's the first one that comes to your mind?
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (29:17):
Well, a lot of them are dead, but one that's alive.
Then one's alive. Well, I didn't think we'd ever talked
to real talk again. He called in an idea.
Speaker 5 (29:29):
We could use a Ouiji board to talk to our
dead callers.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
Well, it will be Halloween, right, it is Halloween?
Speaker 2 (29:36):
Well kind of ye here anyway, Yeah, it's kind of
kind of Halloween, you know, so people are out celebrating
like it's it's a Halloween situation.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
Judgmental John, Oh, that's a good one, Judgmental John Old.
Is that the guy in West Virginia. No, he's in
Michigan radio radio Richard. He's probably probably check taking a dirt. NP.
Think he's met the end game there crossed over. He was.
He was pretty old. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
Remember he would call up and at the end he
got a little crazy as like talking about prostitutes.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
Yeah, it was like, what are you doing? Dude?
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Is next level? Anyway? It is the the Ben Malors Show.
As we press on time now for the who am I?
Speaker 1 (30:21):
Game?
Speaker 2 (30:22):
And this is where we pretend to be somebody else.
Thus we call it the who who am I?
Speaker 4 (30:27):
Game?
Speaker 2 (30:27):
We had catcher's interference in the World Series. Shotani went
to first base on catcher's interference, So.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
They didn't happen very often.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
In fact, the last catcher's interference in a World Series
game before Game five on Wednesday by the Yankees was by.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
Me, Who am I?
Speaker 2 (30:45):
I am the last catcher to be guilty of catchers interference?
Speaker 1 (30:48):
Who am I? That is the question? What is the answer.
We'll get to it. We will do it next. However,
it is then not A. It's not B. It's the
Sea block? What hour is it again?
Speaker 2 (31:03):
It's the cow hour? That's right live read one leg?
Why is it always one leg. You know you got
a winning parlay going only to lose it all on.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
That last lousy leg.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
Brutal Well, not anymore, because DraftKings Sportsbook has your back
with progressive parlays.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
It's okay if you lose a leg because you'll still
get paid. So even if you're forsaken by.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
The football gods and taking l you can still walk
away a winner. So try an NFL progressive parlay today

them on eBay, and he's the guys made a killing
from mostly college football after the National Championship Game. But

for it. Maybe it's up there already, but somebody will
pay money for confetti.
