Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our numbber to talking bays Ball,
Kansas City and the New York Yankees. What do your
eyes tell you about that Aaron Judge Yankee team, as
they had a futile offensive effort against the Royals and
that loss. Also, according to Jazz Chisholm Junior, the Royals

(00:22):
just got lucky in that game. Can you parse the
words of Jazz? We will And how do you explain
the Cleveland closer Emmanuel class A getting torched late in
Detroit getting the win in that game. We'll talk about
all that and more right now here. It is our
number two, the Regal Royals. Welcome in the big ginty

(00:49):
of another hour of the Ben Mathers Show. We are
in the air everywhere blathering on as we have the
crumbia flakiest sports takes of them all coast to coast, border,
the border and beyond on the mast and forcefully powerful
microphones of FSR am monating live from the talk as

(01:15):
we talk a mile a minute. We're broadcasting live from
the tyrack dot Com studio. Tirect dot com will help
you get there and unmatched selection, fast free shipping, free
road hazard protection and over ten thousand recommended installers. Jonathan
and Delaware says he wants to see a guy ten
thousand pounds score touchdown Tirac dot com the way tire

(01:37):
buying should be the fat guy touchdowns. He made sure
to send me a message a fat guy touchdown. I said, okay,
fat guy touchdown. So our lead this hour is not
from the NFL, is from baseball. We start out in
the Bronx Zoo. That was the nightcap on the baseball card.
Nightcap on the Baseball card. That was the scene primtime
primetime matchup. On the Baseball menu, you had Aaron Judge

(02:01):
and the New York Yankees looking to go up to
to zero against the Royals in the American League Divisional Series.
Bob Costas was there more on that later with Ron
Darling on TIBs. But were you watching? Were you checking
this out? Did you have this on your TV? I
know Eddie didn't, but I was watching. I'm a baseball guy.

(02:22):
I think I'm doing. It's like local radio in Kansas City.
Last hour was about the Chiefs, well mostly about the Saints,
but the chief Saints game, and now it's about the Royals.
So the story of you were not watching Salvador Perez,
the last link to the glory days of the Royals
when they were in the World Series back to back years.
In one one, Salvador Perez homeward leading off the fourth inning,

(02:44):
and that was the spark plug a four run rally
for Canza City as the Royals put a four spot
against Carlos Verdon and the hometown team if you're in
Missouri there beat the team from the Bronx Bombers four
to two. The final was a late, garbage time home

(03:04):
run for the Yankees, but four to two. The final
Monday nights of the American League Divisional Series is now
a one to one situation. There were not one, not two,
not three, how about four relievers for the Royals who
held New York in in doubt offense. Man they did
to all run late, but it was mostly the Royals

(03:25):
bullpen shutting down the Yankee lineup. The starter, Cole Reagan's
was all over the place, walked a bunch of guys.
Last at four innings, you had Tommy Fam journeyman outfielder
friend of Jock Peterson, Tommy Fam, Garrett Hampson whoever that is,
and Mike kel Garcia who drove in runs for the Royals.

(03:46):
So Game three, best of five playoff series, really best
of three. Now Royals have home field Wednesday night in Missouri.
Let us discuss better story in the losing locker room.
What are your eyes tell you? Or if you're blind,
what do your ears tell you? But what do your
eyes tell you about? The Aaron Judge Yankees after two

(04:09):
games of the American League Divisional Series. So I've got
laser printer, Madison Avenue, and pop pinstripe, and we will
combine all of these things together and we are gonna
crank up the skillet because the Yankees are in the skillet.
So num bur on the surface being one in one,

(04:41):
he said, Wow, it's not that bad. Everyone's one and one.
It's not that big a deal. It does seem worse though,
for the Yankees, doesn't it? And here's why. Because the
Yankees have the same bull crap that I have to
deal with watching the Dodgers, the same nonsense, right, the
same wizards that the Dodgers have. And it's like you

(05:03):
put together a laser printer and you recreated a carbon
copy of what the Dodgers do on the West Coast.
The Yankees are like, well, we're the Dodgers, but we
have pinstripes. What is my evidence. Let me give you
my evidence here, right, no sense of urgency. That's the
Dodgers every October. It's the same thing. La la la
la la la la la la la la la la.

(05:23):
They don't care. Fans care more than them. Same thing
with the Yankees. Fans care more than the inks. Terrible
situational baseball. For example, the Yankees have had nineteen at
bats with runners in scoring position in the first two games,
three of nineteen, three of nineteen in this series. Now,

(05:44):
I didn't play professional baseball, but that blows. That's terrible.
Crap bags. Starting pitching, they're checking all the same boxes.
The Dodgers are checking all of them. They had Carlos Verdon,
who came out in the first inning. Was like late eighties,
early nineties Hulk Hogan ripping his shirt off, striking out

(06:04):
the side there, and he was flexing and gyrating and
all that. But then he had to go back out
and pitch again, and he sucked after that. And Garrett
Cole combined the two Yankee starting pitchers here, Cole and
Radon have combined to go eight and two thirds innings,
fourteen hits allowed, and seven earned runs. That works out.

(06:26):
My computer like brain tells me an era of seven
point two seven for the Yankee starting pitchers in this
beginning of the series. Not exactly. Bob Gibson, d White Goodin,
you know, fill in whoever you want, Madison Bumgardner, any
of those guys, great playoff performers. But Aaron Judge continues
to be an imposter in the month of October. Kind

(06:47):
of reminds you of Mookie Bets right, kind of reminds
you of Rookie Bets. He was one for three in
this game, a measily infield single for Aaron Judge, who
was those MAM's home runser in the regular season, one
for seven with four strikeouts. In the American League Divisional Series,
the big bopper turned rally stopper Aaron Judge. And someone
might might want to tell Aaron Judge, Hey, Aaron, it's

(07:10):
actually it's May against Toronto and you're mister May so
go hit a home run. It's a pretend it's like
a May game at the old SkyDome there in Toronto,
and knock yourself out. You got Aaron Boone who's just
a middle manager, much like Dave Roberts. It's like the
Spider Man mean meme there with Roberts and Bood and
the beat goes on. Now the money quote, Apparently our

(07:31):
editors got no postgame sound. But the money quote here
from the Bronx was Jazz Chisholm Junior and he was
asked about the series being one one. He had a
home run late, kind of meaningless as a turnament. Really
seemed like it switched the game around. It didn't. But
Jazz Chisholm, the old Marlin there, hit a home run
and he was asked about the series being tied one
to one, and he gave the money quote. It said,

(07:51):
it still feels the same that we're going to win it.
I don't think anybody feels any different. We had a
lot of missed opportunities tonight. The Royals just got lucky.
That's the money quote, Dan Nan, Dan Dang, the Royals
just got lucky. Maybe some of the people in the
building pet attention. We would have gotten that sound, but
we don't have it. So can you parse the words

(08:13):
of Jazz Chisholm Junior saying that the Royals just got lucky?
People freaking out by this. I can't believe you said it.
Oh my god, what is he thinking? Uh yeah, well
he's thinking this is on brand for jazz chism, and
this is a guy. It's all about that aura. You know,
he's gonna put that tough guy act and all that. Now.

(08:33):
I would also say this is like an audition for
Madison Avenue Marketing guy, Madison Avenue marketing guy, because right now,
somewhere at a T shirt factory in Missouri or Kansas,
they are printing up T shirts with the Royal Clubhouse.
It'll say just got lucky on the T shirt, Just

(08:54):
got Lucky. Now, I do not believe in momentum. I
do not believe in bulletin materials. So I do not
believe that this will have any impact on the outcome
of the series. That said that being said, well, nothing
tangible will come of that in terms of the outcome.
It will not decide whether the Royals win or the
Yankees lose. But if the Yankees continue down the path

(09:18):
which we have seen many years in the divisional series,
where they don't get out of the Divisional Series and
they take a pratfall, this is a quote that will
shadow Jazz Chisholm Junior will follow him around. Game one.
If I'm wrong, maybe you can correct me. But as
I recall, game one was back and forth. Royals blew
three leads. That was a dog fight in Game one

(09:38):
and Game two, after the Yankees took an early lead,
Kansas City smacked the Yankees around and shut them down
for the balance of the game. There a royal performance.
I guess they just got lucky. All those relief pictures
just happened to get lucky. And those four runs that
scored that was just look all right now, final point,
we cannot ignore the other game which was on obviously earlier.

(10:02):
It was the A game, which was really the B
game before the A game, the undercard, and this was
a snooze fest. If you like offense, there was none
until late in the game, as it took a Carpenter
carry Carpenter connect on a majestic three run bomb off

(10:24):
of the sparkling Cleveland Closure. The greatest relief pitcher in
baseball in the year twenty twenty four. It's the nerds
are freaking out. He wasn't supposed to do that. Well,
why do you do that? He's not supposed to pitch
like that, Manuel Class on the mound there giving up
the home run out two strikes in the ninth inning

(10:46):
and Classe serving up a meatball. The Detroit Tigers get
the dramatic three to nothing win over the Guardians in
Game number two there, so that series is tied up
at one to one. Heading back to Motown, Carpenter drove
a two to two pitch four hundred and twenty three feet.

(11:09):
Good afternoon, good evening, and good night. Tigers closed it out.
So how do you explain the Cleveland closer, Emmanuel Class
getting torched in that at bat and giving up a
couple of base runners prior and then getting getting lit up.
So I would like to quote Pop in Stripe. That's

(11:32):
what I'm gonna quote. Pop. You don't know who Pop
Pinstripe is the longtime voice of the New York Yankees,
at one point reaching the very bottom of his broadcasting
career when he was a guest of my podcast John Sterling,
who said, and he said that he still says this
all the time he was doing the game. Actually for
the Yankees. They brought him back because all the guys
they tried out sucked. His Yankee broadcasters so they brought

(11:53):
John Sterling out of retirement to call the playoff game.
He was on the call at Yankee Stadium. But that's baseball, Susan,
that's baseball. Yeah, a default answer used to explain anything
that doesn't make sense. There's no logical explanation for a
guy that had not allowed a three run homer ever

(12:16):
in the big leagues and then in the playoff. Who Yeah,
of course this actually happens a lot in the postseason.
The most famous example would be Dennis Eckersley years ago
in the World Series against Kirk Gibson serving up a
meet ball, a friendly reminder from the Dixter, not Dick
and Dayton, but Dick Stockton, who told me, stats tell
you what has happened, not what is going to happen,

(12:38):
and thus the problem. Thus the problem. You know what
has happened, but you don't know what's going to happen.
That's why you watch the games. So this great closer
for the team formerly known as the Indians, Emmanuel Klasse,
goes out there and gets torched in in a playoff game.
It is the Ben Mahler Show. I want to talk
about that. Also, the Monday Night eight Shenanigans that took

(13:01):
place as Kansas City put a whooping on the New
Orleans Saints. And we're on all over New Orleans, and
we got affiliates all over the great state of Louisiana
and not one call from Louisiana. Don't blame you. I
do not blame you at all. Well, Bob Costas, like
every old broadcast, are getting ripped apart. Now, what did
Costas do in the game? He called it Yankee Stadium

(13:25):
that upset the masses? What did Bob Costa say that
annoyed the masses? Will tell you what he said. It's
got people up in arms. Also, you might want to
watch out. You might want to watch out. We'll get
to that as well, and we will do it next.

Speaker 2 (13:43):

he's at u H Bronco fan.

Speaker 4 (14:21):
Who the heck is Justin Cooper?

Speaker 3 (14:23):
A Bronco fan? And I'm live from the tyrock dot
com Fox Sports Radio studios. It's Ben Maller.

Speaker 1 (14:31):
Talking playoff baseball. The two games two on Monday, canns
a city not only win the football game, but win
the baseball game. In the Bronx and the Detroit baseball team.
The Tigers heading back home and they're one to one
as they slay the tried after getting smoked in game one,
they come back win game two. Every series is one

(14:53):
to one. There is no such thing as home field advantage.
It is a myth. Late night drug tester says, any
chance we seen Royals owner Patty Mahomes shot gunning beers
during Game three?

Speaker 2 (15:07):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (15:07):
I don't know about that. But if they do win
Game four, the Chiefs are on the bye week, you'll
be in the locker room. I'll bet you'll be in
the locker room there boozing it up with the boys
should they win. You know, it's one percent. After the game,
he mentioned he brought it up in the postgame interview.
He was very excited about the Royals. They asked him
what he's gonna do during the bye weeks hanging out?
I had a question of yes. Lorea. By the way,

(15:27):
Lorea is very upset had we had a pre show
meeting and she was offended that you did not miss her.
You did not notice that she was not here yesterday.
She was annoyed with the Malad militia. So please, you
know what to do? Boys? Make make her feel missed.
Shame on you. You know what, Ben, what's that?

Speaker 5 (15:43):
I am more grievanced that you brought up my grievances.

Speaker 1 (15:46):
Really, you're annoyed that I brought up the fact that
you're annoyed?

Speaker 3 (15:50):
Ben, break.

Speaker 1 (15:54):
You did not say not to bring that up. But
I will admit I did not send it photo that
I once set out. Yeah, we call that the Garcia,
by the way, is what we call that the garcia.
We call that the ed we call that the eddies.

Speaker 5 (16:08):
What we call they have the opportunity to throw you
under a us Well, there's no bustle you can throw
me under.

Speaker 1 (16:14):
That does not exist. All right, there's none of that
at all.

Speaker 5 (16:18):
Okay, But about these celebrations in the rooms, right, because
they open a whole bunch of alcohol.

Speaker 1 (16:24):
Yes, there's massive consumptions of alcohol. They pour in big
ice chests filled with booze. But they spill it all
and that's the whole point of it.

Speaker 5 (16:33):
But I've worked in like different stadiums and there's carpet
on that floor.

Speaker 1 (16:37):
Yes, they replace the carpet. They haven't, you know, they
haven't they do. Yes, they have to replace the They
have it all planned out. Yeah, they put, they put.
They've got down to science. Because I've been in a
few of those over the years. I've been lucky enough
to be in those, and they yeah, they got tart
like plastic tarp around the whole room. But depending on
how long it goes, they have they bring in a crew.
They try to clean the carpet and salvage it. Yeah,

(16:58):
but then if it doesn't work, they'll have to they
have to replace it.

Speaker 6 (17:01):
Okay.

Speaker 5 (17:01):
I was curious. I was like, there's no way they
can get that alcohol smell out of that.

Speaker 1 (17:05):
No, Plus there's other smells, as you might imagine. Sure, yeah,
the worst those hockey locker rooms that those smell just
foul like like you're working at a morgue. And not
that I've worked in a morge but we've had more
titians that have called the show over the years. But
it's the smells. Or I've smelled a dead body, have you?
I think most of us have smelled a dead body?

(17:27):
I think so, what you haven't any you know, I
don't think so.

Speaker 2 (17:34):
Now.

Speaker 1 (17:34):
I mean going to a funeral, you know you just
smell smelled an odor.

Speaker 6 (17:39):
No, that's different, Ben, Oh, you're talking about a rotting,
rotting corpse recently deceased.

Speaker 1 (17:46):
Do you want to share with the classic criminal record
of Lorena? You want to share with us that we
don't know about it?

Speaker 3 (17:52):
Well, she was bearing a body in the woods and
it was it was a smell.

Speaker 1 (17:56):
Very Okay. You know a guy, You gotta know a guy. Yeah,
for real, it's all about who you know. You gotta
know somebody. You have a you have a fall guy.
You gotta have a fall guy like Jabrill Peppe. He's
trying to find a fall guy because he went out,
had a Friday night there and had the cocaine and
the strangulation all that. You gotta find a fall guy.

(18:17):
I call the phone. We'll say hello to weed man. Hippie. Hello,

How long will it be until you're dissatisfied with living
with him?

Speaker 4 (19:01):

Speaker 7 (19:01):
No, likely with him. I want a room by myself.

Speaker 2 (20:19):
It was?

Speaker 1 (20:19):
Oh my god. So in Miami, six hundred dollars a
month gets you a bed in a room with another
human being?

Speaker 7 (20:26):
Yeah, so I want a movie with your friend?

Speaker 1 (20:29):
O'kay? Wow, that's wild man.

Speaker 7 (20:32):
Hey, you know about walkle Bula on one hundred thousand
dollars watch?

Speaker 1 (20:37):
Yeah, that's I was actually to bring that watch out.
Dodger Pitcher Walker Bueller was robbed of his watch as
he and his wife were attacked by a mob of
thugs at Santa Anita Park. Now I'm fantastic, jeez, I
have spent many a I love Santa Anita. I love
the track, but I was tiring to somebody's frost Berg.

(21:00):
Jason Smith produced with Harmon, and we were like, well
the track. I love the track because you have the
super wealthy. You have millionaires on one side, and then
on the other side, you have people that have no
money that are completely bankrupt on the other. And these
two worlds unite all betting on the ponies. You have
the people that all the horses. Yeah, it's a wild

(21:22):
scene at the track and I like it. But yeah,
I mean, Walker Bull, I was pointing out to Lorena.
I do not have to worry. This is one of
those things in life. I don't have to worry about it.
No one can ever steal me. No steal my one
hundred thousand dollars. Watch, one hundred thousand dollars. That'd be
like a Rolex, right, one hundred thousand dollars Rolex, I

(21:43):
would think, right, Yeah.

Speaker 7 (21:44):
I used to live right down the box and back
would go.

Speaker 1 (21:47):
Yeah, So did you go to the track back in
the day.

Speaker 7 (21:50):
I used to go there.

Speaker 1 (21:52):
Yeah, Santa Neia is great. It's a beautiful track and
they've got big races and whatnot. But there is you know,
there's people that go there that have no money. But
Walker Butler, do you think if he had worn his
Dodger jersey he would have gotten attacked? You think he
was I played for the Dodger. Let me alone. Come on,
I'm with the Dodgers. You know it plays. What's wrong
with you? Yeah? All right, Well we'll see he's pitching

(22:13):
in game number three. You think you think he'll have
a different watch. I can't imagine. I would be so
if I spend one hundred thousand dollars on a watch,
I would be so paranoid to wear that watch.

Speaker 7 (22:26):
You have the time on your phone.

Speaker 3 (22:28):
I wouldn't have to worry about that. Ben, he would
never spend one hundred thousand dollars.

Speaker 1 (22:34):
No, I would not. But I mean, like, I don't
know people that spent a lot on the Georgian. By
the way, who was it, Chad Johnson? Ocho Sinko? Didn't
he tell a story when he got to the all
they bought almost like ripoff stuff that looked like the
real star. And who really knows. Most people don't know.
They think if you're a pro athlete, a baller and
you have the money or a big music star, that's real.
They're not gonna sit there and put a microscope, you know,

(22:56):
put out there and examine whether it's real or not.
And look right now, the rain on your head would
like really expensive jewelry. So if you want to send
a really expensive jewelry, she would love to have that.

Speaker 5 (23:08):
Yes, Hi, and I can tell the difference between a
real diamond and a fake diamond. Okay, so don't.

Speaker 1 (23:13):
Tryumph, Yeah, sure you can.

Speaker 5 (23:16):
They listen differently.

Speaker 1 (23:18):
It's all bull crap. The diamond industry is a scam.
It's a total scam. It's controlled by certain groups that
there are plenty of diamonds, they limit the productions too.

Speaker 5 (23:28):
I like oples like, it's my birthstone.

Speaker 1 (23:31):
Any prison mail yet your birthday is coming up? Any
prison man, There is mail upstairs, Coop, go get it.
We have mail upstairs, Go get it.

Speaker 5 (23:38):
I got a message. There's mail.

Speaker 6 (23:40):
Oh really about the person that tweeted you from Perrito?

Speaker 1 (23:45):
That wasn't the protein?

Speaker 5 (23:46):
No, this is my pickle chips or something else.

Speaker 1 (23:48):
I don't know pickle chips. Who wants me keep that?
To give that to George Nori, We don't want that.

Speaker 6 (23:55):
Right upstairs to get pickle chips that I don't even want.

Speaker 5 (24:00):
Maybe Perito doesn't send pickle chips. He said that it's
something you might like, So who knows.

Speaker 1 (24:04):
Oh, I don't think she's told the truth right now. Yes,
that's what we're just trying to pull it over. We
remember the night you called us up in the middle
of the hurricane from the lifeguard tower there in Miami.

Speaker 4 (24:15):
I do I do I I was out in the
middle of a hurricane.

Speaker 1 (24:19):
So stupid. I can't believe you did it, but it
was amazing night.

Speaker 4 (24:23):
Do it.

Speaker 1 (24:23):
Never do that again, weed Man, Never do that again.
Plays and anybody in Tampa or anyway I know the
storms approaching here. Do not do what weed Man did.
That was not good. I don't know how you survived that,
weed Man.

Speaker 7 (24:33):
No, that was stupid. I thought I thought I could
say on one sided lifeguards stand and it would protect me.

Speaker 4 (24:39):
But it didn't.

Speaker 1 (24:40):
Shocking that hurricane force winds did not We were not
protected by a lifeguard stand on the South Beach. That's
wild that that would be the case.

Speaker 4 (24:50):
My god, let me ask you a question.

Speaker 7 (24:53):
Did the Yankees play the.

Speaker 1 (24:54):
Bench in the world stories they'd have to get to
the world, can they? Yes? Will they know?

Speaker 3 (25:02):
Please God?

Speaker 1 (25:03):
No, Yeah, we don't want that. Nobody wants that. All right,
you got good luck. Let us know when you move. Okay,
hopefully everything's safe there. And but how all right, Coop for.

Speaker 7 (25:14):
Coop, I did not bring up passion Malmes.

Speaker 1 (25:18):
Thank you? Okay, all right, thank you? All right, yeah,
all right, go away, all right, Well he loves you.
It's weed Man. That's a Joey the Bellman, I believe,
is the one that's hooking up weed Man with a
place to stay for a little bit. So see how
that goes.

Speaker 3 (25:33):
How long before he's dissatisfied with that living situation?

Speaker 1 (25:36):
Well, I hate to say this, but knowing the luck
of weed Man, the storm will come through there. He
won't be able to stay there because he'll be damage
and you won't be able to stay there. They have
to get repaired, and then he won't be that a
holding man alive.

Speaker 2 (25:47):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific, and.

Speaker 1 (25:52):
We are rolling on through the overnight. We're gonna have
Mallard of the third Degree that'll be coming up here
a little bit later. And we have the fun fact.
I got fun fact, fun fact of the hour. We
need a sponsor for the fun fact. Why can't we
get a sponsor for the fun fact? Doesn't somebody want
to contact the Fox Sports Radio sales department and just say, hey,
we want to sponsor the overnight fun fact. I will

(26:14):
give you the most sponsor, really, Micael Miel, shame on you.
Fun fact. Carrie Carpenter of the Detroit Tigers the first
big league player to hit a two out, two strike,
go ahead home run the ninth inning of a postseason
game since Kirk Gibson gimme for the Dodgers in Game

(26:39):
one of the nineteen eighty eight World Series. I just said,
one of the most iconic moments in the history.

Speaker 3 (26:45):
Is only at the World Series.

Speaker 1 (26:47):
That was it? Yeah, hobbling up there, hobbling up there
before social media, so you had to watch it. And
I still can see that shot of the car leaving.
They hit the brakes right, get the brakes, Like wait.

Speaker 3 (27:00):
They're probably listened on the radio and said, oh, yes,
I just left and missed the iconic moment.

Speaker 1 (27:06):
Fun fact on that as well. Bonus fun fact here.
Bonus fun fun fact.

Speaker 3 (27:11):
They never.

Speaker 1 (27:15):
They never found that baseball. They never verified that baseball.
Somebody has the Gibson home run ball, but it never
got verified. So they can say, hey, I've got the ball.
But a bunch of people could say they got the ball,
but they never verified. That was back in the days
when it was like a mom and pop operation. Now
you hit a home run, well now Dodgers, damn they
taking the back and the Goons get you. Can I

(27:36):
see your ball? Remember Tani hit that first home run.
The security shook down the couple there to give the
ball back like a baseball jersey or something like that.
Back in the old days. Didn't care whatever, don't do
your own thing.

Speaker 3 (27:48):
I was trying to think there were somebody semi famous
journalists so to speak, that admitted to leaving that game early.
I think it was Jim Gray admitted off he left
that game earlier.

Speaker 1 (28:00):
Yeah, yeah, I wouldn't admit that if I did that.

Speaker 3 (28:03):
Although I would never do that.

Speaker 1 (28:05):
I actually have somewhere in a closet somewhere at the
Malor mansion when I was covering the Dodgers, there was
a picture named Ramon Martinez who had like Pedro's brother, Yeah,
like two hundred strikeouts in a season or something. And
they took a photo and they draw the two hundred
on the ball and they take the photo and he
didn't want He just like tossed it. They just like,

(28:26):
I have it. I have the ball. I don't know
where it is. It's somewhere some Yeah, it didn't get verified,
but they tossed it to me from the from the photo. Anyway,
it is the Ben Maler Show. Let's say hello to
any meenie mightey mo leally blind Christopher whose body is
in Charlotte but his mind is in Motown. Hello Christopher.

Speaker 4 (28:49):
Hey, mister Mallard didn't give me hit a two strike
pitch off Goussage in the World.

Speaker 1 (28:55):
Show nineteen eighty four, nineteen eighty four World Series and
a big.

Speaker 4 (28:59):
Hold correct massive homer that he.

Speaker 1 (29:01):
Did then, which led to a giant riot in Detroit.
If I remember.

Speaker 4 (29:04):
Correctly, damn right, I was there.

Speaker 1 (29:06):
You were there. Did you get anything good during the riot?
The civil unrest? Did you get anything good?

Speaker 4 (29:11):
Well, we do the best in Michigan to stir up
whatever we cand. You know, it's just how it is.

Speaker 1 (29:14):
Well, I'll tell you when the I was at a
civil unrest, there was a mini bunch of fires. They
torched some cars. After the Lakers won a championship, I
was doing local radio in LA. We were right in
the middle broadcasting from the epicenter, and our boss got
all he told us. He said, this is not a riot.
He said, A riot is what happened in Detroit when

(29:35):
the Tigers won the World Series. Like, this is not
a riot. That was a riot. This is not a riot.

Speaker 4 (29:40):
I think it was the same when the Piss was
won in ninety two. I had this, but I regrets
that's way back. So who carestre.

Speaker 1 (29:48):
Exactly where we're doing Boomer radio. It's not it's about
right now. It's about the carpenter.

Speaker 4 (29:54):
Well, but let's talk more about your massive arm, speed
and pitch that you did many years ago in the
minor leagues. I think you would be a great addition
to help either the Royals or the Tigers to destroy
you that the Guardians or the Yankees personally, since you
hate the Yankees so much, I'm voting for you to
step in and help Kansas City move on. So we

(30:15):
could have the Motown Kiddies versus the Royals in the
ALE Championship Series. What do you think then, do you
think it is a possibility we can get you?

Speaker 1 (30:25):
I would be more than happy to pitch. In fact,
I would be willing to pitch for both teams. My
loyalty would be with Kansas City because we don't have
any food dishes in Detroit. We have the ben mallor
chicken fingers at the landing there in Kansas City, Liberty,
Missouri to be exact. But that would be my loyalty.
But I would be happy. I'd be fine with that. Hey,
as I point out Christopher, I have to do the
show no matter who wins or who loses. I still

(30:48):
have to do the show. So might as well have
fun doing the show.

Speaker 4 (30:53):
See Loraine wants to have this pickle. We can have
the Detroit rain like the old days when you guys
used to have sending you this garbage for food.

Speaker 1 (31:05):
Well, the part of it is I have this fugesy
diet where I fast a lot. But yeah, we used
to have I mean I got so fat. We used
to get different designer cakes every other week. It was insane.
For like a year and a half. We felt like
we just got these amazing cakes and you can eat.
I mean, I was just living the greatest life. We're
getting fat cells. It seemed like twice a month. Yeah,

(31:29):
it was so good. And then somewhere.

Speaker 4 (31:32):
Blindness is great. Let me end it this way. Blindness
is great because you know why, then everybody looks the
same to me. I can't tell if you're fat or not.

Speaker 1 (31:41):
Let me tell you something right now, I am the
greatest looking human being that you could possibly imagine in
your head right there. I am a runway model and
I'm doing a pirouette on the catwalk. I'm shaking my
I'm shaking my tushy on the cat walk right now,
is what I'm doing.

Speaker 4 (32:00):
I'm so happy. Might have been all right?

Speaker 1 (32:04):
All right, good luck Collsmore. I mean, we're the only guy.
We're on all over Michigan, but nobody cares about the
tigers there. So you're the only one and you left Michigan.
So what does that say? Our thank you is the
Ben Maushow. So people upset with Bob Costas for two things,
one cheering for the Yankees and two making excuses for

(32:26):
gian Carlos Stanton. Now, if you're watching the game, Stanton
uh hit into a double play, and you could tell
by the tone of Bob Costas's voice he was very disappointed.
He also appeared to make excuses. There were several plays
later on in the game, as I remember, where Stanton
could have beaten out a play at first base, but

(32:46):
he was doing that major league jog thing, and so
Bob Costas turned on his excuse machine to try to
justify the lack of hustle from John. Carlos Stanton and
many Yankee apologists have done the same thing. But people
upset with the Casses. I think all these old sums,
let's suck again.

Speaker 4 (33:03):
Let's go suck together.

Speaker 1 (33:04):
Yeah, let's go have fun sockey exactly, you know, let's
enjoy it. Gotta suck anyway that people love piling it
on the old broadcasters. Time now for the insta trivia.
Yankee John Birdie became the third player in baseball history
to start at a position for the first time during
the postseason minimum three hundred regular season games played. He
joins Carlos Santana, who did it in the twenty sixteen

(33:26):
World Series for Cleveland and Blank. That is the Insta Tributa,
the Answer and Mallard of the third degree. We'll get
to it. We'll do it next.

now I from the tyrack dot com Fox Sports Radio Studios.

Speaker 1 (34:07):
It's Ben maller Ay time now for the Insta Trivia.
Yankee John Birdie probably know who that was before. A
few hours ago, he became the third player in baseball
history to start at a position for the first time
during the postseason minimum three hundred regular season games played.
He joins Carlos Santana, who did it back in twenty

(34:28):
sixteen during the World Series and blank that is the
instant tribute. What is the answer? Unless he does anyone
know the answer? We go to the great Unwashed Iron
Mike Shart guessed by Donkey Sausage. Cowboy Killer says it
has to be the Green Power Ranger, Hornon Swaggle from
Rob in Vegas. You cannot go wrong with Hornswaggle, the

(34:51):
wrestler Jerry Royce from O g Art puffin. Who else
do we have? Paige Down? Paige Dan, a friend of Dick's.
Gerry Carpenter is the answer from Working Retail to the
hottest hitter in baseball the maz who is forty four today?
From Late Night Drug Tester? Who else we have? Page Down?
A stormtrooper from Big Greg in Iowa? Page Down Mason

(35:14):
and Huntington Beach says the answer is Irvin Magic Johnson
who played center one time in the finals against the Sixers.
What say you, Eda, hurry up?

Speaker 3 (35:23):
Jell Brave outfielder Ron Gant, No, it's the great Jake
Flowers in the nineteen thirty one World says.

Speaker 1 (35:30):
You don't remember nineteen thirty one? What's wrong with you? Addie?

Speaker 7 (35:33):
Who?

Speaker 1 (35:33):
Bob Cossas actually called that game Dad.

Speaker 2 (35:36):
To the third degree. This is one big fan.

Speaker 6 (35:42):
You mentioned it briefly during yesterday's show. But Joe Burrow
is playing at an MVP level. Yet the Bengals are
practically already eliminated from playoff contention.

Speaker 1 (35:50):
What's going on over there, Ben? So they've lost a
bunch of close games, the Bengals. It also does not
help that the Cincinnati defense, the Bunga defense is ranked
twenty six in the NFL, So they haven't executed down
the stretch of games or go the box snap the
other day, and the defense has been terrible, and thus

(36:11):
you are what your record says you are. Next.

Speaker 6 (36:14):
So at the end of the Bills lost to the
text and Sean McDermott inexplicably called three consecutive passing players,
giving Houston enough time to get the ball back and
win the game with all their timeouts. Yes, Ben, do
you think McDermott could find himself on the hot seat
pretty soon?

Speaker 1 (36:29):
Well? I would have already fired him for the playoff blunders.
But yeah, I would say why not? I mean, but
here's the problem. It's like all these other teams, the
Bills have an antelqually analytically driven front office and mcdermot's
gonna get a bit of a pass because they got
rid of Stefan Diggs. But it's it's not good and
I was so mad. I was I threw my remote

(36:50):
watching that game because I might have had Buffalo in
that game. How do you coach like that? I mean,
how dumb are you? Next? I also had Buffalo in
that game? Thank you.

Speaker 6 (36:58):
Speaking of hot seats, Doug Peterson to reporters after the
Jaguars win on Sunday that the victory was a weight
off everyone's shoulders. Ben does the w cool things down
a bit in Jacksonville?

Speaker 1 (37:08):
Well, only because it's hard to fire your coach when
you're in Europe. And I believe Jacksonville's next two games
are in London, so it's gonna be pretty difficult to
get rid of Doug Peterson while the teams in Europe.
So I think he's safe for the next couple of weeks.
Schooble loop, how about that?

Speaker 2 (37:21):
There?

Speaker 1 (37:21):
It is, Malathon, Do we have me?

Speaker 4 (37:23):
Now?

Speaker 1 (37:23):
You pass? That is a win? Hit the wing column,
put it on the board.
