Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our numb bird two. Is this a turning point
moment of the original recipe Ben Mahler Show. I'll talk
about that Yankee Royal series. It is over now in
the American League Divisional Series? Where did things go haywire
for Bobby wit Junior's Royals? Also, how's the forecast looking
for Aaron Judges Yankees as they move on to the

(00:23):
League Championship series? And how would you describe the ruckus
between the Royals and the Bronx Bombers that happened during
the game. We'll get to that and a whole lot
more right now here. It is our number two, putting
an end to Royalty Welcome in the beginning of another

(00:47):
hour of the Ben Mahler Show. We are in the
air everywhere ear plug pay play fellows, as we like
to say, clinically studied, as we are coast to coast,
sporting the water and beyond on the mast and voice
rously powerful microphones of fsr AMM neating live from the

Bourbon Badger's eyes lit up when he saw that Tiraq

(01:39):
lead this hour from Baseball Baseball, Baseball Baseball, Major League
Baseball playoff action the American League side of the Divisional Series,
and we're going to.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
Start out in the City of Fountains.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
Did you know that Kansas City has more fountains than
any other city besides Rome.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
Yeah, City of fountains.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
Now, the Yankees were hoping to swim in one of
those founds.

Speaker 1 (02:03):
The Yankees looking to.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
Knock the Royals out, eliminate the Royals in advance to
the league championship series. Did you watch? Were you watching
the football game instead? Bad job by you? Maybe you
missed it. Well, don't worry. We watched both games at
the same time. Two games at the same time.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
We did. Now how you can do that?

Speaker 2 (02:25):
It would seemingly be impossible, but we were able to
pull it off. It's called a remote control. It's an
amazing an Aventure invention. Rather, it's just amazing. You can
go back and forth. So the Yankee game, Garrick Cole,
much to my surprise, was not bewildered on the mound.
He was in control, holding KC to a single run

(02:47):
over seven innings and sending the Bronx Bombers into the
clubhouse to crack open the champagne. A three to one
win and they are back in the League Championship Series.
You've got Juan Soto, Glabor Torres, and John Carlos Stanton
driving in runs. No Aaron Judge, But the story on

(03:08):
the mound Garrett Cole, helping himself, scattering six hits, struck
out four and then handed the ball to the Pinstriper's bullpen, which.

Speaker 1 (03:17):
Dominated the end of the game.

Speaker 2 (03:19):
So New York now will play the winner of Cleveland
and Detroit in the ALCS that'll begin on Monday. In
the Bronx, we should point out that Cleveland and Detroit
will have a Game five winner take all this weekend
for the right to play the Yankees in the American

(03:39):
League Championship Series. But let's focus in on the Yankees
and the Royals. The better story in the losing locker room,
So that is where we will begin this conversation. The
question where did things go haywire for Bobby Witt Junior
and the Royals, well unfortunately for Bobby Way. And we'll
combine all these things together here, we'll try to drink

(04:01):
a nice big glass of water, because that's what you're
supposed to do.

Speaker 1 (04:04):
So number.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
Unfortunately for Bobby Wood Junior, he was shooting blanks right.
But just in general, I talked about it. I went
on with my guy Bob on the fan there in
Kansas City, going every Thursday with my guy Bob Fesco,
and we were talking about this yesterday morning.

Speaker 1 (04:23):
We were having a conversation.

Speaker 2 (04:24):
It's like the Royals dug themselves a hole at the
very beginning. They had a bad opening scene. If you
remember Game one last Saturday in the Bronx, Kansas City
had not one, not to but three leads in that game,
and they kept giving up the lead. They kept giving
up the lead. They ended up blowing the game late.

(04:45):
But every one of these games was a hair raising cliffhanger,
and team wide, they generally, as the line goes we
like to use on the show, they generally sucked. It
wasn't a specific kind of suck. It was just an
all encompassing type of suck. And it did start with
Bobby Wit Junior, the phenom, the runner up for the
American League Most Valuable Player, who did go out there

(05:08):
and did not use live ammunition. He was shooting shooting
blanks the matinee idol the future. This guy's gonna be
in Kansas City for the next ten years or more
and putting up big numbers. And it's it's like seeing
a movie or making a movie and your leading actor
has a lapse of memory and forgets their lines.

Speaker 1 (05:30):
Seaball hit ball.

Speaker 2 (05:31):
Bobby Wood Junior batted a buck fifty four in the
American League Championship Series.

Speaker 1 (05:37):
He was four for twenty.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
Six, and overall it was like that Windy's slogan from
back in the day, where's the beef? And you look
at some of the bigger names there, Bobby Wit Junior,
Salvador Perez, he's got playoff experience from his old days
with the Royals when they were in the World Series
years ago, and Vinnie Pascentino as well. Those are three
of the big names in Kansas City's lineup electively.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
They were a bag of manure.

Speaker 2 (06:02):
I'm batted one, two, six for forty nine in the
four game series, sixteen strikeouts, one walk or actually.

Speaker 1 (06:10):
I got two walks. They had two walks. There a
couple of RBIs.

Speaker 2 (06:13):
In one home run and that that is not going
to get her done.

Speaker 3 (06:19):
It is not.

Speaker 2 (06:20):
Now page two here, how is the forecast looking for
Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees as we disentangle
the American League bracket.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
So what I've done for this is.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
I have taken out the Roberto Doppler radar from back
when he did weather with Roberto, my old guy, ROBERTA
the bus driver. And if you look at the short
term weather module outstanding, it's.

Speaker 1 (06:46):
Like going back to when you were a child.

Speaker 2 (06:48):
And singing sunny day, sweeping the clouds all the way
on my way to where the air is sweet. Can't
you tell me how to get how to get the
same street? I'm telling you right yeah. Home field advantage,
extra rest, and you're facing an inferior opponent, either the
Tigers or the old Cleveland Indians who are now named

(07:10):
after a bridge. So you're gonna have the bigger bazookas
the great equalizers do they all show up? The Yankees
won the Alds without Aaron Judge being an X factor
and Judge is supposed to be a Porterhouse steak.

Speaker 1 (07:30):
He was chopped liver.

Speaker 2 (07:31):
He also batted a buck fifty four, same batting average
as Bobby Witt in this series. No home runs, no
runs batted in for Aaron Judge. And while the feast
or famine Yankee bullpen they were terrible during the regular season,
they have been absolute nailed down relievers. How good have
the Yankees been you asked, I'll tell you. I'm glad

(07:54):
you asked. Scoreless streak by the Yankee bullpen at fifteen
and two.

Speaker 4 (08:00):
Thirds innings of this postseason, which is pritt the britt
deep pretty good as they're gobbling up outs and not
allowing runs.

Speaker 1 (08:10):
Not bad.

Speaker 2 (08:11):
Now there's another thing I want to discuss with you.
You were watching this game, you know what I'm about
to talk about. If not, we had a rhubarb of
sorts in this one. So things boiled over in the
sixth inning and there was an incident. Anthony Volpi, the
shortstop of the Yankees, slapped a hard tag on by

(08:31):
cal Garcia of the Royals. Play happened at second base
there and it was to complete the double play.

Speaker 1 (08:38):
Now Garcia was offended by the.

Speaker 2 (08:40):
Double tap tag and there was a forearm by Volpi
to the neck, and so the players ended up spilling
out of both dugouts. They jogged in from the bullpens,
which is always my favorite part, rather than just fight
in the outfield, because the relievers are usually near each other,
they have.

Speaker 1 (08:57):
To run into the infield to fight.

Speaker 2 (09:00):
Wouldn't it be more effective, more useful in terms of energy,
just to fight in the outfield, But no, they have
to run in and be with everyone else. So you
had that happen and then eventually order was restored. But
how would you describe how would you describe the ruckus
between the Royals and Bronx Bombers in the sixth inning?
So I would like the channel the great boxing promoters

(09:22):
who are both somehow still alive, but very old and
probably not gonna be with us much longer. Bob Aram
and Don King, both of these guys great talk radio
interviews back in my early days.

Speaker 1 (09:32):
Because they would not shut up.

Speaker 2 (09:34):
They just you ask them one question, They give you
four minutes of content and they just asked themselves questions.
Both Bob Aram, Don King, God bless them. I've interviewed
them in the past. Wonderful wonderful guests because they don't
shut up, but they wouldn't have had a field day. Now,
in boxing, you probably know the rumble in the jungle, right,
I got a good name for these fights, rum oll
and jungle.

Speaker 1 (09:54):
Well this one.

Speaker 2 (09:55):
How about the cat fight and Casey because it was
like a catfight. Anthony Volpi wouldn't even have a chance
to make power slap. He's not that big a guy,
and just the whole situation was a commercial for Sharman Ultrasoft. Now,
the reason this thing escalated is because of Jazz Chisholm Junior,
who called the Royals lucky.

Speaker 1 (10:17):
Then you had MIKEL.

Speaker 2 (10:18):
Garcia who went on social media and he posted some
stuff about not backing down or whatever. So you had
all these fake tough guys and the barking dog never bites.

Speaker 5 (10:29):
Now.

Speaker 2 (10:29):
Jazz Chisholm helped poort Kerosene on top of this when
he came over from third base and he said the
magic words about that slide by Garcia, and then that
led to the escalation of hostilities in this game. But
your standard baseball fair, and as an old timer told

(10:50):
me years ago, you want that because at one point
there was a player that took a baseball bat and
a Dodger Giant game to the other player. I don't
want that, So you'd rather have fake tough guy than Hey,
I'm holding a baseball bat and I'm on the field
and I'm going.

Speaker 1 (11:06):
To bludgeon someone on the other team.

Speaker 2 (11:10):
So anyway, it is the Ben Mallor Show if you
would like to comment on any of this or that
Thursday night game as the Niners led from pillar to
post and take down Seattle and Geno Smith back to
being the Geno Smith we knew he was capable of.
Out in the pasture. Just a cow nung performance by

(11:30):
Geno Smith yet again for the Seattle football team. Later on,
we'll get to that glitch in the command center and
a musical interlude, a musical interlude in baseball and you
know I'm a sucker for a musical interlude.

uah huh, yeah?

Speaker 2 (13:14):

Nothing else?

Speaker 8 (13:17):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (13:18):
Why would he wan go to Cleveland on vacation. That's
in Cleveland? Eh?

Speaker 2 (13:23):
Anyway, Late Night drug testa right since, says with the
Royals losing and also eliminating former astro Juli Guriel, that
leaves one team on your big board to go. I
can already hear you and Dick and Dayton cheering for
the Bridges.

Speaker 1 (13:40):
Well, I do support our friend.

Speaker 2 (13:42):
Dick in Dayton, and we'll hopefully he'll call up. Well.
I enjoy his work as a caller. We'll see what
he has to say about that. Any any pep talk?
If Dick calls up the last hour, I'll say, hey, Dick,
you got any pep talk for for the Bridges? They
call him the Guards. They call him the Guards, And
so we'll see Midnight Walker, right since, says Royals fans,

(14:05):
they scratched their heads and wonder where the beef?

Speaker 1 (14:08):
Where's the beef?

Speaker 2 (14:08):
The Royals pitching did okay, but the offense had no teeth.
The Yankees go to the Alcs on their way to
another ring for the New York for in New York.
As Big Men knows, that's the only thing. Well, the
Royal pitching didn't give up that many runs. They walked
a lot of batters, though, and that was Now, how
much of that was?

Speaker 1 (14:29):
How much of that was the Yankee Stadium advantage.

Speaker 2 (14:32):
I had a guy when I covered the Dodger when
I was doing Dodger Talk, there was a guy on
the team, a very famous Yankee who had been part
of some of those great Joe Tory teams in the nineties,
and he was telling me we were having massive amounts
of alcohol in the bar at Dodger Stadium, which I
used to have access to, and he's I will not

(14:52):
name him, but he was telling me how when they
played for the Yankees at home, they were convinced when
George Steinbrenner owned the Ankees, that the umpires any borderline call.
This is before all the new tech and baseball offs,
but they working this. Any borderline call at Yankee Stadium
would go for the Yankees. But you had to throw

(15:13):
it really literally right down the middle in a playoff
game to get a call.

Speaker 1 (15:17):
And that happened throughout.

Speaker 2 (15:20):
The nineties I guess it didn't work in the eighties. Yeah,
Jill rites, and she's a Yankee fan. She says, Actually,
Michael Kay said Volpi is a tough kid, and she
Hashom got involved to protect him. Volpi looks like he's
about seven years old.

Speaker 1 (15:35):
I don't know how tough he is about that. Let's see.

Speaker 2 (15:38):
Uh. Jace Wrtson says, I'm new to X. Where are
the questions? Listeners are answering.

Speaker 1 (15:43):
Well, really, there you did, but you are new. You're
very new, Jace.

Speaker 2 (15:48):
Yeah, you asked the question or you comment?

Speaker 1 (15:52):
Did you actually did?

Speaker 5 (15:53):
Well?

Speaker 2 (15:53):
You tagged me, so it pops up on my feed,
so you have to tag me, and you have to
follow me. You're following me, and I know you're just
a small town boy, and yet you never met no
harm or anything like that.

Speaker 1 (16:07):
Just from the song, and there you go.

Speaker 2 (16:08):
Derek in Buffalo writes in he says he's the Bills Monster.
All these baseball monologues remind me of the old weekend
days of your show. Yankees versus Indians will be a
grand alcs, but not as good as the Dodgers and
the Matt Go Dodgers Go. That's from Derek and bubble.
Thank you, Derek, very kind of you to support my team.

(16:30):
I know you're a fan of the show and you've
got my back, and it's.

Speaker 1 (16:33):
Good to know that you're there. Good to know that
you're there.

Speaker 2 (16:37):
Let's go to the phones and let's say hello to
but we got some heavy hitters here. Let's say hello
to Mason Millennial. Hello, Mason the Millennial and the Bay Area.
He's a bus driver now, Mason.

Speaker 9 (16:50):
Yes, sir, yes, sir, hey man, how you doing.

Speaker 2 (16:53):
The wheels and the bus go round and round? The
wheels and the bus go round and round.

Speaker 9 (16:59):
Yeah, they should do. And I'm not sure if you
remember the last time we spoke what the subject was about.

Speaker 3 (17:07):
Do you.

Speaker 2 (17:10):
Want to go back through my roll the decks here?
Couldn't have been about the Broncos. Something about the Broncos.

Speaker 9 (17:16):
No, No, I mean they were doing pretty bad a time.
I'm pretty sure they're zering too at the time that
I last called you.

Speaker 1 (17:25):
Yeah, but they're doing better.

Speaker 2 (17:26):
Their defense is at according to the EPA stats, their
top five defense.

Speaker 9 (17:31):
Yeah, they never do.

Speaker 1 (17:35):
Who's going to touch up my.

Speaker 8 (17:39):
Well?

Speaker 9 (17:39):
Nicks may never lose again. I don't. Yeah, you know,
but what we talked about last was the Mets on
their way to a postseason birth.

Speaker 8 (17:53):
And he said, how you don't believe in them?

Speaker 2 (17:58):
They're not going to win the World Series, but it's
good they beat the Phillies.

Speaker 1 (18:01):
Congratulations.

Speaker 9 (18:03):
Well, you never know what you're ready to say that
they weren't even gonna make the postseason.

Speaker 2 (18:07):
Then it would have been more fun if they hadn't
made the postseasons. Kind of sucks they're in the playoffs.

Speaker 8 (18:14):
What sucks about that?

Speaker 2 (18:17):
Because I got got calls from you and other Mets fans,
and that's annoying.

Speaker 9 (18:21):
What other Mets fans call? I mean, no one wants
to be a Mets fantasize Jasons.

Speaker 1 (18:28):
Oh that's not true.

Speaker 2 (18:29):
They are Mets fans that call the show and they
love to talk about how tough it is to be
a Mets fan and all this stuff.

Speaker 1 (18:35):
And the key to the.

Speaker 2 (18:36):
Mets is they've they've sucked, and they've sucked together.

Speaker 1 (18:39):
That's the key. It's a special kind of sucking.

Speaker 3 (18:43):
Is we'll suck together.

Speaker 2 (18:46):
Let's go have fun sucking, you know, let's.

Speaker 1 (18:48):
Enjoy it, enjoy joining, enjoying the suck.

Speaker 9 (18:53):
Everyone's talking about the the dumb money that everyone wants
to see the Dodgers and Yankees.

Great if it's it's a subway series for the world series,
then well.

Speaker 2 (19:08):
Yeah, if you live in New York. But for the
rest of the country, who cares. Uh, it doesn't matter.
It's only if you're in New York. Now, there's a
lot of people that live in New York, so there'll
be a lot of people that will watch, but nobody

Speaker 2 (25:30):
And that's the line. From now on, It's no longer
what it is. It's Sofa stadium. Does anyone disagree? Sofa Stadium.

Speaker 5 (25:39):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.

Speaker 2 (25:45):
We are rolling on through the overnight hours. Do we
have this musical interlude ready to go?

Speaker 1 (25:51):
Here?

Speaker 2 (25:51):
So, the Yankees had won the American League Divisional Series
in Kansas City, and no one quite celebrates like baseball.
They celebrate when they make the playoffs. They celebrate for
every divisional round or league championship series win, and then
they have a championship win. In basketball, they don't do that,

(26:12):
and I don't think they do it as much in hockey,
but baseball they celebrate everything. But anyway, the Yankees had won.
They were waiting for their team photo on the field.
So all the players are out in the field just
imagine all the players are out in the field there
they're waiting. There's one player, one player who's not out.
They have to wait for this player, and they started

(26:33):
chanting the player's name. Here's how it sounded. Let's go
to the audio tape. Let's listen, and we need this
for the next time, Garret. We should save that. Make
sure we save that coop in the system, because when

(26:54):
Garret Cole pitches in the alcs and gets lit up
like a fried turkey on things again, how many boards
you want me to work on here, Ben Loraina, Huh,
you got a lot of fingers. Okay, a lot of buttons.

Speaker 1 (27:08):
I've seen the buttons.

Speaker 2 (27:09):
There's a lot, a lot of buttons, a lot of fingers.
And let's hear that one more time. This is pretty good.
I like the rhythmic chant. Listen to this, it's pretty good,
right solid?

Speaker 1 (27:24):
That is that better? Or is it?

Speaker 2 (27:27):
Urban Mayer Urban Meyer was a guy that there's one
guy at Ohio State the Stadium who sounded like Homer
Simpson who just kept screaming urban Myer, urban Meyer over
and over. Urban urban urban urban urban urban Meyer, like

(27:50):
urban planning, like urban The center of the city is
an urban area, urban urbanire?

Speaker 1 (28:03):
Is that better? Or is the Garrett cole One's clearer?

Speaker 2 (28:06):
And there's many more people singing rhythmically because they're about
to get hammered. Play there, Let's hear the Garrett cole
One again.

Speaker 7 (28:22):
I like that one guy that says, hurry up.

Speaker 1 (28:24):
Yeah, get your ass out here. Come on, they're having
a good time.

Speaker 2 (28:28):
Let's go to the phones and we'll go to the
belly of the Beast and we'll say hello to Steve
in Manhattan and go bu Canon, gob you can and
gob you canon.

Speaker 3 (28:40):
Urban Shaka Bend Distinguished Panel, expanding audience, Welcome to he Ha.
Now listen, we got a ton of sports going on
in New York. You know, we usually don't get too
hot in the playoffs.

Speaker 6 (28:52):
But I was hoping that they wouldn't fire to the
coach that'd be in the Jets till after the election,
because I wanted terror will timpon Timmy to be the
coach of the New York Czechs, And it just didn't
work out that way. I know, a couple of weeks ago,
Timmy was going wild up there in the in all
of Michigan with the Michigan fans I.

Speaker 3 (29:11):
Mean, you don't those college kids want pre tampons. Now
Aaron Rodgers, right, I mean he goes on.

Speaker 8 (29:19):
He doesn't. Yeah, he was going who was that?

Speaker 3 (29:21):
He was going at it with the fans.

Speaker 6 (29:23):
Terrible timmy there, some guys screamed something out.

Speaker 8 (29:26):
He gave him the thing.

Speaker 3 (29:27):
I mean, we've a college kid. What do you expect
from them? You know?

Speaker 6 (29:30):
And the thing is with Aaron Rodgers, I mean, we
don't infect the general managers Didny, but he didn't look
too happy the last three four weeks.

Speaker 3 (29:38):
So you lose somebody.

Speaker 1 (29:39):
By the way.

Speaker 2 (29:40):
Now, the TV show he Haw, which you mentioned all
the all the time, has not been on the air
since nineteen ninety three.

Speaker 1 (29:50):
How about that?

Speaker 7 (29:51):
Well?

Speaker 3 (29:51):
Fun fact, right, and since since Richard Nixon said suck
it to me.

Speaker 6 (29:57):
No, that was laughing, I think anyway, listen, the Jets
are a team is just a horror show. The coach
Salad really stinks. He comes from the forty nine as well.
Do you think you know what.

Speaker 3 (30:09):
The forty nine is all? Let me analyze this, everybody.
They're the Philadelphia affilities of the NFL. That's what they are,
and anything else oute of them is just nonsense.

Speaker 6 (30:19):
You don't have to worry about anything. They're not going
to win nothing to coach stinks. Now baseball with the Yankees, Now, listen,
what's gonna happen to the Dodgers.

Speaker 3 (30:27):
They're going to get beat by the Mets of the Yankees, right,
you know that.

Speaker 2 (30:31):
Now, they're going to beat the Mets, and once they
get by the Padres, they'll beat the Mets, and then
they'll beat the Yankees. And it's all scripted. I've seen
the advanced copy of the script. And they'll crown Otani
the greatest player in the history of baseball, and there'll
be the World Series MVP, and they'll sell a million
little replica World Series trophies in Japan and they'll be
laughing all the way the bank.

Speaker 3 (30:52):
Well listen, look if the Yankees won a lot of
World Series and the team they beat the most with
the Dodgers. I don't see the Dodgers beating the Yankees.
I don't care.

Speaker 1 (31:01):
Yogi bears not walking through that door.

Speaker 5 (31:03):
You can't.

Speaker 3 (31:06):
Yes, Yogi was the best bad ball hitter. But Yogi
said they all look good to him. But listen, I.

Speaker 6 (31:14):
Don't want to hear that. Tommy Lapasta is not going
to be there.

Speaker 3 (31:16):
It's not good, stiffid. It's all gonna be a whole
different environment.

Speaker 2 (31:19):
No, the Dodgers. Listen, the Dodgers and Yankees play the
same exact way, So if they play in the World Series,
it would be like that Spider Man meme where they're
pointing at each other. It's exactly the same style of baseball.
It's exactly the same.

Speaker 3 (31:33):
Well listen, well, well, Tony's gonna love Yankee Stadium. We
know what that short right field sense. I mean, I
mean I can go back and play and hit forty
home runs with that ballpark. I mean, it's even closer
than they say it is because it's built on it.
It's the only stadium still built on a city block
besides I believe Fenway and ridley Field. But the thing
is with the Yankees. I never liked the Yankees starting

(31:54):
pitching this year or they're pitching all together, but they've
basically gotten the team health exceptarate off season went down
just before the season ended. I don't see the Dodgers
beating the Yankees. I know there's gonna be no Regie,
no Thurman or nothing nothing like that going on. But
still you come to New York. You guys just get
swallowed up by there. You know, you're playing in the
South Bronx.

Speaker 2 (32:17):
Let me tell I don't know if you've been to
a Dodger you probably not here live in New York.
But the Dodger Stadium is much more hostile than Yankee Stadium.
All those Wall Street guys hanging out in the Bronx
and all that. It's a different, crowded Dodger Stadium.

Speaker 6 (32:28):
It is.

Speaker 1 (32:29):
It just is.

Speaker 2 (32:30):
Okay, Yeah, the Dodger fans used to be laid back.

Speaker 1 (32:33):
They are.

Speaker 2 (32:34):
They're very passionate now to that they're challenging the Phillies.
And then and like the Met fans for annoyance.

Speaker 3 (32:42):
Well, listen, the Mets fans aren't used to playoff games.
You got to you gotta give an excuse for that.
And that's seventh line thing that the fallows the metsal round.
The only thing I know about the Mets is when
I was a kid, they brought me to Shay Stadium,
right and in the about two minutes before the first pick,
some guy dropped their giant banner down the left field mine.
It said wait till next year, but it was open today.

Speaker 8 (33:03):
So I don't know much about the.

Speaker 2 (33:06):
Yeah, well Shaye Stadium was Shae was a dump. But
I gotta leave it there. But I love the baseball talk.
I gotta go, but thank you Steven Manhattan. So we
learned something real quick. There's a glitch in the replay
command center. And we learned this on Thursday night. Terry McCauley,
I believe it was the guy's name. He former NFL

(33:26):
official rules analysts for Amazon. He revealed the officials in
the replay center do not get the enhanced video what
so there was the Niners got ripped off, they got screwed,
the screw job because the Seahawks fumbled. The Niners should
have gotten the ball deep in Seattle territory on a

(33:47):
punt that was touched by the Seahawks.

Speaker 1 (33:50):
And it was clear on the Amazon broadcast.

Speaker 2 (33:52):
But they were talking on the projects like, well, the
replay center didn't get access to that. How is that possible?
All right, time now for the insta trivia, we'll get
to Mallard of the thirty three Utah Hockey club did
not waste any time. They set a blank record at
the Delta Center. Utah's hockey team did not waste any
time they have set a blank record at the Delta

(34:14):
Center in Salt Lake. We'll get to that. That's the
instat tributa the answer next.

Speaker 7 (34:47):
From the tyrak dot com Fox Sports Radio Studios. It's
Ben Maller.

Speaker 2 (34:50):
Man Mallard of the thirty degree. But real quick, here
is the insta trivia. The Utah Hockey Club to be
named later did not waste any time they set a
blank record already at the Delta Center.

Speaker 1 (35:01):
That is the question.

Speaker 2 (35:03):
What is the answer and that seat is any one
know the answer? Indoor body odor record from Milkman Mike
in Colorado. Record for most husbands with four wives at
the game. Late night drug tester those jokes apparently never
go record for most bike racks from malor prop guy

(35:24):
Page down, Fried oysters from Eloy from Compton.

Speaker 1 (35:28):
Let's see page down.

Speaker 2 (35:30):
A lot of Mormon jokes here, who jan Mereschal getting
ready to bat from Mason and Huntington Beach. Most fat
people attending a game from mister Luciano. That's his answer.
Obstructed seats from Eke. Do you have an answer?

Speaker 1 (35:44):
Eddie beer sales the correct.

Speaker 2 (35:47):
Answer the Utah Hockey Club inaugural game. They totaled one
hundred twenty thousand dollars in beer cells, more than any.

Speaker 10 (35:56):
Utah Jazz game played there some night right now nineteen
ninety one was here, I go shut off, Eddie, shut up, cheater,
Eddi's cheated squeeze out to Bob.

Speaker 11 (36:15):
It has recently been suggested that if the one to
four Rams don't turn their season around quickly, that Matthew
Stafford could become a trade candidate. Ben Are you buying that?

Speaker 9 (36:24):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (36:24):
Yeah, I am absolutely buying that.

Speaker 2 (36:26):
Trade deadline is about a month away, and so the
Rams have the rest of this month to figure things out,
and if not, it would make a lot of Saints
because Stafford's not going to be back next year to
trade him, and the Rams have to move on from
Stafford get somebody else. They also have to fix their defense,
which is obscene. It's illegal on the Bible belt. How
bad they are tackling their the Rams. Bad job by

(36:48):
Shula's grandson, the defensive Ward Air.

Speaker 11 (36:51):
Next, ancient NFL writer Peter King gave out a list
of his top five MVP candidates to the first five
weeks of the season, and at the very top was
Dare Henry. King admitted that Henry probably won't be on
the list at the end of the season. But do
you think he's an MVB candidate as of this moment.

Speaker 3 (37:07):
I do not.

Speaker 2 (37:08):
I do not believe he's an MVP candidate because he's
a running back, and so he is eliminated. By just
being a running back, you're eliminated. That's a quarterback award,
it's not a running back award. And didn't Henry that
game against the Bengals, didn't you have about forty yards?
And then in overtime he broke off that massive run.
But he hadn't much that game until the overtime. But no,

(37:29):
running back's not gonna win an MVP award, probably again
in my life. Next, as we near.

Speaker 11 (37:34):
The start of the league Championship series, what are the
best and worst potential World Series matchups?

Speaker 1 (37:40):
All right, so the.

Speaker 2 (37:42):
Top matchup would be Dodgers and Yankees. He got East Coast,
West Coast. He got Otani versus Aaron Judge. That gets
TV executives all horny. The worst matchup would be Cleveland
and San Diego. That would be let me take some
sleeping pills. Oh my god, we gotta pump this up
by far. That would be the worst of the teams

(38:02):
that are left. But you have to match the Dodgers,
the Yankees, just some big markets left. How did we
know you pass this edition? That is a winner? Pull
it off the boards.
