Speaker 1 (00:00):
Oh, cad, it's our number three of the Ben Malers
Show podcast. But you already knew that twenty twenty five
World Series begins tonight. Some roster shuffling by the teams.
How did you rule on Clayton Kershaw being added to
the Dodgers twenty twenty five World Series roster? Also, how
(00:21):
concerned should the Blue Jays be about rookie trey Ya
Savage and his lack of postseason experience he's starting for
Toronto in that game tonight. And does Dave Dombrowski's statement
in Philadelphia end the chatter around the Phillies trading Bryce Harper.
There's been a lot of rumors. We'll talk about that
(00:42):
as well. And don't forget fifth Hour podcast. Fifth hour
podcast about Toronto and Canada and the Dodgers and all that.
So that'll be a bonus hour four fifth Hour Get
that way of this podcast here, it is our number three.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
A questionable decision.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben
Maler Show. We are in the air everywhere inhabitants as
we are very fresh and frugal, coast to coast, border,
the border and beyond on the vast and overwhelmingly powerful
(01:22):
microphones of fsre emmodinating live from the lounge, the loquacious
lounge of the world famous Fox Sports Radio Studios, broadcasting
from Lost Wages, Nevada, the iHeartMedia building on Fremont Street,
and this portion of the Ben Malar Show on Fox
made possible in part by Tirerak Kathy and Madison tells me.
(01:44):
For over forty years, ty Iraq has been helping customers
like her and Ruth find the right tires for how,
what and where they drive, ship fast and free, which
makes mister Irrigation very happy back by free road hazard protection.
I see the fry guy Fridaddy smiling and convenient installation
options like mobile tire installation, which is a big deal
(02:07):
for Jonathan in Delaware. Tire rack dot com the way
tire buying should be. So our lead this hour is
from all Goda. We go to Toronto. It's all like,
don't get calm tonight, are you ready?
Speaker 3 (02:24):
No?
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Today's today? All the pomp and circumstance. It's on Fox.
Who will have according to John Smoltz, momentum.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
We'll have to tune in Joe Davis and John Smoltz.
I have could call what is.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
It that would be game number one of the twenty
five World Series as Blake Snell bro, I ain't playing
less again, min Bro, I'm risking my life, he leads
the I hope he doesn't die in the mound. Blake
Snell leads the Dodger Juggernaut, So, bougie, they have two planes.
(02:56):
Two planes when they travel too players can't be sitting
near the unwashed. So Blake Snell leads the Dodger Juggernaut
into the building formerly known as SkyDome against Trey Is Savage, Yes,
Savage and the Blue Jays.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Now La announced some roster moves. I thought this was interesting.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
And I have the bully pulpit pitcher Alex Vesia, who
gets a lot of a lot of time on the
mound for the Doyers. His World Series availability unclear. He's
dealing with a very vague, deeply personal family matter. I
don't know if anything else came out in the last
few hours here, but I just saw that, so it
(03:35):
does not sound great. So Dave Roberts said the team
is going day today, which is nice to know.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
So that's to me.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
I don't know the details on that. And we're to
leave my commentary out there is something we're really to say.
He's not available to pitch. It must be bad otherwise
it's the freaking World Series you'd want to pitch. So
hopefully he takes care of that and things work out
the way they're supposed to work out. The story though,
is that the Dodgers have decided and this is bad news.
So if you're a Dodger fan, I hate to be
(04:04):
the bearer of bad news, but it's part of the
job and sometimes you have to be the messenger of doom.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
And I'm about to do it.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
And it's with a heavy heart that I inform you
that the Dodgers have decided that Clayton Kershaw is going
to be on the twenty twenty five World Series roster.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
I know it's a tough day, tough day.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Now.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
He didn't appear in the NLCS because he sucks after
getting tormented by the Philadelphia Phillies.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
So that is a good jumping off point.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Let us discuss the question, all right, how do you
rule on Clayton Kershaw being added added to the Dodgers
twenty twenty five World Series roster? So my views on this,
I have the Oynster the mighty zol Tar and Ross
dress for less, and we will combine all of these
(05:00):
things together, and we're gonna make the Gabba goool.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
We're gonna make the Gobba gol.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
So, first of all, based on the fact that Dodgers
play their games just down the road from the Hollywood Sign,
I would like to give the Dodgers credit because they
won an Emmy for bad decisions, Emmy meaning mental error.
This is a mental error Clayton Kershaw being added to
(05:25):
the twenty twenty five World Series roster. Are you bloody
kidding me? I thought this was Joe. I'd to buddy
of mine. I tell you how I saw somebody sent
me a text and we were driving here to Vegas
and said, hey, Kershaw's on the roster. I said, that's funny. Aha,
you lose it got me U And then it turned
out to be true. So the joke's on me. But
after the Dodgers they dodged a bullet with Kershaw again.
(05:49):
They didn't put him on the roster against the Bruises.
They bring him back. Are you trying to level the
playing field for the Blue Jays? Is this like NASCAR
when they have restricted plate racing? You're like, we're good,
let's put Kershaw on the roster. That's like putting the
guy who missed curfew in charge of team security.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Who does that.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
This is completely unforced. And I'll tell you what this is.
I'll there's some psychobabble. This is Dodger Hubris. This is
Dodger ares. They want Kershaw on the roster, even though
he could be in the dugout and celebrate, they want
him out there. They envision being up by seven runs
in the ninth inning of the closeout game, and they'll
send Kershaw out like they had him out digging up
(06:28):
the mound his last game at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
And here's the thing. And maybe I'm wrong on this.
I don't know. I'm not there anymore.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
But nobody, to my knowledge, put a gun today roberts
head or a knife to the neck of the nerds
and said put Kershaw out there. Kershaw has spent an
entire lifetime proving to every man, woman and child that
he cannot handle the immense pressure of October baseball.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
That is not my opinion. It is a fact.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
We're talking about a ballplayer that has it a four
point six y three era in the postseason in forty games?
Speaker 2 (07:05):
How bad is that?
Speaker 4 (07:07):
All?
Speaker 5 (07:07):
Right?
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Let me explain something I did some digging. I had
some time. I did some digging. Here, how bad is
Clayton Kershaw in the playoffs? Among all pitchers that have
made at least forty postseason appearances in the history of
professional baseball? Is Clayton Kershaw in the top fifty all time?
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Back? Yes? Is he in the top forty all time? Bad? Yes?
How about top thirty? Yep?
Speaker 1 (07:34):
How about top twenty? Ding ding ding ding ding Not
even it can't be higher than twenty. Right, Come on,
what if I told you? What if I told you
that among all pitchers in the history of baseball that
goes back, not a decade, not since nineteen seventy. Since
eighteen sixty nine, Clayton Kershaw has the worst earned run
(07:59):
at bridge in the history of professional baseball all time
with forty appearances or more. You realize what happened in
eighteen sixty nine. We were four years removed from the
Civil War, ending in eighteen sixty nine when they started
playing professional baseball what's known now as the major leagues.
(08:21):
Four years after the Civil War, Kershaw's got the highest
era of all time, forty one years before the widespread
use of the automobile, Kershaw has the highest era of
all time. And yet here we are the World Series
beginning later today, and the Dodgers, like Lemmings to the cliff.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
That the film does not lie.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
When someone shows you who they are, believe them the
first time, or at least the fortieth time. Kershaw is
the October Oyster. He sweats like a pig. He does,
he does big, get on the mound, he melts under
the bright lights. And the Dodgers just gave him another
(09:05):
match to burn the house down? What are we doing
all right now? On the other side, Page two to Toronto.
And now, as we mentioned the Blue Jays, they made
their own announcement the game one started. Trey Y Savage
will start Game one of the World Series against snell
Zilla at the Rogers Center. Now, your Savage is twenty two.
(09:30):
It'll be the first rookie to start game number one
of the Fall Class since way back in twenty oh six.
I won't even live in twenty oh six. That's when
Verlander and Anthony Reyes squared off for the Tigers and Cardinals,
respectively in that World Series.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
So you Savage. But you know, it's been a long time.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
If the Cardinals world, they've been bad for a while,
haven't Anyway, You Savage has as many regular season starts
as he has made in the postseason. He's made three
regular season big league starts, three starts in the postseason
after the Blue Jays called him up from a Triple
A Buffalo. I have a nice Buffalo Bison hat courtesy
of I think that was Alf the Alien Opiner. I believe,
(10:11):
but hey, that was back in mid September. So the
question on this one, how concerned how concern should the
blue Jays be about rookie Tray you Savage and his
lack of experience? So, after eight minutes long Mallard deliberation,
I have determined that the Toronto Blue Jays the level
(10:31):
of concern, How concern should they be? I'll tell you zero,
not a zip, As the great southsayer of our time,
the Mighty Xultar says, if you don't mind, my friend,
it doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
It's not rocket science.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
As we know, experience is only a factor when you
let it be.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
It's right therewith momentum.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
You know how I feel about momentum, Well, I feel
the same way. I feel the same exact way about
playoff experience.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
I'll give you an example. We just mentioned Clayton.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Kershaw, who's got the worst era in the playoffs of
anyone forty or more games since the beginning of baseball
in eighteen sixty nine. Clayton Kershaw's got a PhD in
playoff experience. He's also got a PhD in choking. All right,
he's got a lifetime pass on the vomit comet, yep,
the vomit comment. Meanwhile, this kid doesn't even know what's
(11:27):
going on, said three playoff games. He's got no scar
tissue from horrific performances in the playoffs. He's too dumb
to know he's supposed to suck in these games. And
that's the malord mantra right there. It's one of the
mantras we have on the show. Matchups don't matter in
games like this, film doesn't matter, home field advantage doesn't.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Matter, no mentum does.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
An example, it doesn't matter because made up playoff experience
doesn't matter. You flush it all the way, you flush
it like a number two. It's it's just who's better
in that moment today. Today's the day Game one of
the World Series, and so sometimes ignorance is actually bliss.
He's got no carry on baggage while others are lugging
(12:07):
giant suitcases in Vat. Kershaw's got so much playoff baggage
that the baggage fees are insane. That's probably why the
Dodgers fly two different planes, because Kershaw's got so much
baggage they need one plane for all of Kershaw's all
the demons that Kershaw's got from playoff games where he
puked all over the mound and pooped his pants and
all that stuff. All right, now, final thought, we move
(12:29):
away from the World sit. I'm excited about watching. Were
checking that out at the undisclosed part of it. Anyway
to sportsbook somewhere here, I don't know where, not sure where.
Anyway to Philadelphia, where we mentioned this earlier. I want
to expand on it.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
So the GM.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Dave Dombrowski, longtime baseball executive Dave Dombrowski, This guy's seen
a few things. He knows where the bodies are buried.
Worked in professional baseball since at least the early eighties,
if not the seventies. Been around a while, so Dombrowski.
He went on some Extrajob Baseball podcast recently and addressed
some of the chatter on social media. Been a lot
(13:07):
of noise that after Dombrowski said that Bryce Harper is
no longer elite, that is the tell that the Philadelphia
baseball team is planning on saying bye bye to the
face of the Philadelphia Phillies franchise.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
So Dombrowski was asked about that.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Did he A say absolutely, we can't stand Bryce Harper.
The guy's a dog with fleas. We're gonna get rid
of him. Did he say, B be no comment or
c We're not trading Bryce Harper? All right, pens down
reveal answers and that would be see dom Browski said.
(13:47):
Quote when asked about the idea of trading Bryce Harper
said that couldn't be further from the truth.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
We're not trading Bryce Harper. Question.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Does Dave Dombrowski's statement end the chatter around the Phillies
dealing Bryce Arbor?
Speaker 2 (14:06):
So this is a suckers game, is what this is?
Speaker 6 (14:10):
Right?
Speaker 1 (14:10):
That's the way I will frame it that in five
bucks will get you a nice pumpkin spice Lotte.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
This time of the year. You can enjoy that, not
yourself out.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
And that is the classic Pop goes to weasel terminology.
Teams lie all the time. We talk about every single
day here. Most of the time we talk together, me
and you together. I talk about someone lying. If a
team really isn't trading a guy. My experience tells me
they don't even bring it up. They don't acknowledge it.
They just forget about it, don't talk about When they
(14:39):
say they're not trading a ballplayer, it means give us
an offer, you tell us something. We've seen this a
lot of NFL trade deadlines coming up. We've seen We've
talked about this a couple of days this week, where
you know, the Raiders and the Bengals have come out
with statements, we're not trading so and so, and they've
leaked that story and I don't believe it. They just
want the write offer, they want that sweet spot offer.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
And then and they're good now.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
The difference with Bryce Harper is this, he's the one
that is in the driver's seat. He's wearing the pants.
I don't know how else I can say in that relationship.
He's got a full no trade claus full note trade class.
He's also got body ink, he's got the Philly fanatic tattooed,
So that would be rather odd if he played for
the Mets or the Marlins or the Braves and he's
(15:23):
got the Philly fanatic tattoo on his arm or whatever.
So Bryce is essentially a modern day Rocky. He's become that,
even though he hasn't won yet. He's mister Philadelphia. I
know he's from where we're doing the show from here
in Vegas, but he's mister Philadelphia.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
And here's the plot twist. Are you ready for the plot?
You are okay? Good? The contract.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
This is how bizarre world professional sports is and how
unrelatable professional sports is to the common man, the working man.
Bryce Harper has a three hundred and thirty million dollar contract. Now,
he signed that contract. I believe it was twenty nineteen.
I think it was twenty nineteen. That is, at the time,
it was like, oh my god, that's Fort Knox three
(16:05):
hundred and thirty million to leave the nattitude of Washington
and Rick and Maryland saying morning time. He gave up
morning time with Rick and Maryland to go play in Philadelphia.
And now now it looks like something you would find
on a rack at Ross Dress for Less, the discount
part of which is already low with the discount part,
(16:25):
like Rob Parker would find that at Ross Dress for Less.
And Harper has been he has been a lookie lou
over the last six years. He's been watching all these
guys sign five hundred, six hundred, seven hundred million dollar
contracts and he's stuck on that discount rack in comparison,
even though he's got three hundred thirty million. So I
think what we should do is start a GoFundMe for
(16:46):
Bryce Harper. How about a bake sale. I'll bake some cookies.
We'll be good on that.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
So if there's.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Any any movement on this, any movement on this, it's
not the Phillies trading Bryce Harper. It's the Phillies paying
Bryce Harper even more money, which would.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Be an odd situation.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
It's a weird juxtaposition because Harper, the GM said he's
not elite anymore. So if he's not elite, why would
you give him more money. He's a good player, but
not an leade player, so that don't make a lot
of sense. And there's stories Harper's upset with Don Browski
because he called him out on his birthday and all
this stuff, and so you give him some more money
and all that, and so this is not not necessarily
(17:29):
about a trade.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
It's more about a leverage situation.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Remember you never ever, you never ever take a front
office at their word when they say one thing.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
It's like the zig zag. We used to have a caller, good.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Caller in my early days here at Fox Sports Radio
named zig Zag and it's zig zags when they zig
u zag, and that's it. So when they say no trade,
you keep one eye open on the smoke because there's
usually going to be a little bit of fire. We're
off on the horizon out in the wild lou Yonder,
you'll see a little bit of fire. It is the
(18:04):
Ben Mallor Show. If you would like to be part
of this program. It is an interactive show. It's one
of the advantags you have. You're with us on the
Red Eye here on the All Night Live show. Those
daytime podcast people cannot call in. They could call in,
but there's other gas bags on during the.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Day and not me.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
So if you want to be part of it and
it'll take call. Those most daytime shows are too bogie
to take calls. They can be bothered with calls. They
talk to you unwashed. So anyway, if you want to
be part eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight
seven seven nine nine six six three sixty nine, I
am broadcasting from the iHeart Building here at the Fremont
Speed Fremont Street.

the iHeart app later on. I'm not sure what time
I'm going to be there the Power Trip Morning Show,
which is a very popular morning show on Kfan. These guys,
they're like the Howard Stern of Minnesota radio. They get
huge ratings, massive ratings, and for some reason they clearly
made a mistake. They said, Hey, we're going to be
in Vegas. You want to come hang out? I said, sure,
why not? So that's why I'm here. So I'm gonna
(19:13):
I don't know what I'm gonna be there. I got
some things to do after the show, but I will
pop over there and hang out with them for as
long as they'll have me, I think until I fall asleep,
and so that'll be exciting.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
So I'm looking forward to that. Those are good.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Dudes, and I'm sure they'll be very excited to talk
about how pathetic the Vikings were. Unless they don't talk
about that at all, just pretend it didn't happen eight seven,
seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven, seven nine nine,
six sixty three sixt nine. Yeah, skull, skull. Yeah. Anyway,

So a Pennsylvania high school built a brand new twenty
five million dollar football stadium on top of a blank
and this has gotten some attention.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
So I thought this would be perfect.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Scrooge in Northern California, who loves to brag that he's
part of the younger demo, but eventually he'll be part
of the older demos.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Just if you live long enough. What else do we
have this?
Speaker 1 (23:16):
He went with a Ben Malor statue clam from Parts
and None says the answer is an old pickleball court?
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Is that still popular? Pickaball? Luke the vending.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Guy says, A dollar general, a torn down chuck e
cheese from Asher? Who else we have on top of
a giant whoopee pie from Late Night Drug Tester?
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Who else?
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Andy in Lionel Lake says the answer. They built the
stadium on top of an old Rocky boxing gymnasium and
on top of old Smokey the cape Cod paper Boy.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
I haven't heard from that dude in the alt. Where
you been? Cape Cod paper Boy don't check in very
often anymore. Bad job by you, but I'm glad you're back.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
He says an old on old smoky on top of
a mountain from King Rory, an old landfill from kurtis
see flusher. Gumby Dave says, on top of a restaurant
serving cheese, steak, Hogy's and whoopee pies that that's the answer.
Stevie Meatballs says, on top of spaghetti, all covered with
cheese and lots of meat balls.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
When when somebody sneezed, there you go. Who else do
we have? Alf the Alien?
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Opina says on top of a Culver's restaurant they find
the In and Out Burger in the in the Midwest.
Love Culver's restaurant, one of the god so good.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
I wish there was. Is it one in Vegas? I
don't think there's.

They don't have one in Vegas, un for I got one.
Speaker 3 (24:35):

I think they built it on top of a strip
club jiggle joint?
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Is it a strip club? Let's find out?
Speaker 1 (25:52):
No, It turns out a Pennsylvania high school has built
a brand new twenty five million, twenty five million football
stadium on top.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Of a three hundred car parking garage right on top.
I love a parking garage. It's amazing how much money
these high schools.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
If there's a big one in Georgia that just built
a massive stadium, Texas is the king of these high
school stadiums.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Man.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
And the city I grew up in, we had one stadium.
All the schools had to share at the one stadium.
That's it, and so you had to go to the
other school to play and all that stuff. But man,
man alive, let's call the calls. We have lame jokes
of the week coming up a little bit later in
the hour. Let's go to surfer dude in Sundayego. Hello,

feel like you're losing the character.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
A little bit.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
I just want to say hello, on man.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
Okay, here in San Diego, all right, all right, go,

Speaker 2 (27:56):
Now, hello, Andy the comic book guy. Welcome, Hey Ben. Wow.
Speaker 6 (28:01):
I came in with like a poignant thing to say,
but I got to go off scripts here because you
said so many ridiculous things in the last forty five minutes.
So first off, I got to give my condoless to
Robbie the Mariner fans. I thought the Sabers and Padres
were some real loser franchises. But oo baby, the Mariners
my gud. But still go Falcons, Go Josh Allen. But Ben,
(28:24):
I've got a fun fact for you. Are you ready?
Speaker 2 (28:27):
I love fun facts. I love you. I'm yes, I'm here.
Watch what do you watch about?
Speaker 3 (28:31):
You like?
Speaker 6 (28:31):
Fell asleep for something?
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Second?
Speaker 3 (28:33):
There?
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Okay, well you calls kind of boring so far, he's
not a great call by you.
Speaker 6 (28:38):
Fun fact. You mentioned the Buffalo Bisons earlier, which was
totally out of left field.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
Is not expecting that.
Speaker 6 (28:44):
But do you know which current person that is involved
in this world series was once a Buffalo Bison? Yeah,
I think he'll be surprised.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Well, there's the Blue Jays, Triple A teams in Buffalo,
so there's probably a lot of people that played in
Buffalo that are playing.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
In the world.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
Let me walk that back. That's not playing, that is.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Not playing in the world.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
I don't here's a fun I will touch up your
fun I have my own fun fact, but I don't
know what is it.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Give me the answer.
Speaker 6 (29:14):
Dave Roberts, he was for about five years.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
Yeah, I know he played with the Cleveland Indians. I
know are not allowed to say that anybody he played
with the Cleveland Indians.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
I was, I was, I was with the doing stuff
with the Dodger media when they got Dave Roberts and
they he was on like a spring training contract, and
he was like will he make the team?
Speaker 2 (29:34):
Will he not make the team? And he made.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
He ended up playing quite a bit. They weren't very
good when he was on the Dodge. You want my
fun fact, Andy the comic book guy.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
Fun fact.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
I have been to the Buffalo Bison Stadium. How about
that fun fact? And they were now they weren't playing
a game. I walked right in the Bison Stadium and
this was years ago, and nobody stopped me, and I
just walked right in and sat.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Down and it's right there in downtown was what was
the name of it.
Speaker 6 (30:03):
I forget it was pilot Field maybe yes, yes.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
Yes, that sounds right to me.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
Yeah, but it was cool and like one of the
dudes is one of one of the guys that was
like the groundskeeper or whatever is Oh yeah, come on in,
you know, check it out. As I said, I'm a
loser from California. I'm just here one day whatever, So well.
Speaker 6 (30:19):
How it is okay, but anyway, this is all great.
Thank you, thank you for that reminisce. That's beautiful. None
of this was the reason why I called. And I'm
almost going off script here more for that god awful,
horrible stuff you just said about Los Angeles legend Clinton Kershaw.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Oh don't stop. Stop.
Speaker 6 (30:35):
It should be thrown in the fire.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
Stop.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
Like I'm.
Speaker 6 (30:39):
Like, you should just delete that and never say you're
you're a fan.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
Of Okay, so what did I What did I say? Correct?
Speaker 1 (30:46):
If you go back to eighteen sixty nine, Kershaw has
the highest year of any picture that's made forty appearances
or more in the postseason.
Speaker 6 (30:53):
A real stat. But you are completely omitting the heart
and soul of the story, and you're not things. I
don't even care about the seven run thing, even though
you're right, but we do need another left hander, okay,
And you are right, he's not going out there unless
we're up by like seven runs. I'm not going to
disagree with that. But of course he's gonna be on
the roster. What else he gonna put on, like Emmitt
(31:14):
Sheen or something I.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
Would rather have. I would rather have you on the roster.
I would rather have you on the roster.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
Okay, I've seen enough, you did the little ceremony, you had,
the digging up of the mound.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
Whatever that was.
Speaker 6 (31:27):
I'm no guy exists this whole career with one team.
We're already talking about Bryce Harper being traded. I get
he's got the tattoo. Anyway, none of this is why
I call it, Ben, Ben, this is the real reason
why I called it. Okay, yes, hang on, there's a
lot of terrible takes on the radio, a lot. You've
thrown out a couple tonight, but you know there's a
lot more than just you. We've got hang On, we
got cowtured, We've got that Ochio guy who smoochs with
(31:50):
that that Juggalo lady. But Ben, Ben, I think I
think you have to wear the crown of bad takes,
because I mean, I hate to ask you to do
work over the weekend, but maybe you could, like just
splice together a sixty second clip of all of Ben's
terrible taken on firing Dave Roberts.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
Robert, you know what I would, I would let me
tell you, I'd fire Robbers right now.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
I'd fire him before game one, and.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
They wouldn't miss a beat because he doesn't do crap
somebody else makes it right now. They already they're printing
up the script for game one. Here, Dave, remember the ship.
They'll get him up. They'll get him a teleprompter in
the dugout, they'll get him a prompter or read the script.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
You didn't do anything. Stop with that, Dave, Please, Dave Roberts,
my fat ass Dave.
Speaker 6 (32:35):
Roberts with Clayton Kershaw pitching in the World Series all
that time, Fifth.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
One, Yeah, nothing to do with that.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
They've had the greatest roster of talent assembled because they
spend a lot of money and they have great players.
They took Freddie Freeman from the Braves of Tany, from
the Angels. I mean, the whole thing, most of it
is that is built with players from other teams. Fine,
it worked good for them, but don't tell me it's
like Dave Roberts is anything that's putting them over the top.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
He's not.
Speaker 6 (33:06):
Fifth World. The only other manager that's maybe better in
recent history is Dusty Baker, sadly, and he had to
cheat to get his last one. All right, Roberts, haste.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
Take and Andy, you're you're getting You're gonna end up
in the in the talk radio caller goolog You're gonna
We're gonna send you Siberia if you keep this up.
You realize you're Are you drinking? You must be drunk, right,
that's no sober person would say. Dave Roberts and Dusty Baker,
Oh my god, I feel sad for you.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
I feel sad for you.
Speaker 6 (33:41):
And much franchises as Dusty Baker turned around.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
Come on, you're out of your mind? Is this because
you read too many comic books?
Speaker 7 (33:49):
Is that?
Speaker 2 (33:49):
Why is that? Time?
Speaker 3 (33:52):
Man?
Speaker 6 (33:53):
But I'm going to own the nickname.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
It's cool you're done with comic books. You're that burned
out on comic books. You were Andy the comic book guy.
Speaker 6 (34:00):
Dude, I loved it. But in a consumer society where
you just got to sell other people ship, you can't.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
Say that I gotta I gotta go.
Speaker 5 (34:09):
We gave them too much time.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
Yeah, I mean, I think for the record, we should
be able to say that. I think that's a great word.
I use that world. Open up that gate that's like,
you know, the gateway drug of cursing?
Speaker 3 (34:24):
Is it?
Speaker 2 (34:24):
Yes, it's it's not freaking. My dad used to be like,
that's the gateway. No, it's the s h word. Is
anyone really offended by that word? Even we're on all
over the Bible Belt. Everyone's worried about the Bible Belt.
Even people in the Bible Belt say that word. Now,
I isn't even really worried about it. You know what
I'm saying? Oh, let's start a petition.
Speaker 6 (34:42):
You know you do that?
Speaker 2 (34:44):
Let me know? And I am, what's that? Can we
say it in other languages? I? Well, I have done
that in the past, I have, I have.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
I used to say a lot of bad words in
Yiddish and nobody called me on it. So I've cut
back on that a little bit. But a voice of
my head says, cursing is good for your mental health.
So Andy the comic book guy has got good mental health.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
Good for him. Right, we'll pause with the collusse. We'renna
have Big Ben's lame jokes? Is the weed Man? There?

Weed Man. I was funny. Genie Ghost of Genie was funny.
Oh, cad, it's our number three of the Ben Malers
Show podcast. But you already knew that twenty twenty five
World Series begins tonight. Some roster shuffling by the teams.
How did you rule on Clayton Kershaw being added to
the Dodgers twenty twenty five World Series roster? Also, how
(00:21):
concerned should the Blue Jays be about rookie trey Ya
Savage and his lack of postseason experience he's starting for
Toronto in that game tonight. And does Dave Dombrowski's statement
in Philadelphia end the chatter around the Phillies trading Bryce Harper.
There's been a lot of rumors. We'll talk about that
(00:42):
as well. And don't forget fifth Hour podcast. Fifth hour
podcast about Toronto and Canada and the Dodgers and all that.
So that'll be a bonus hour four fifth Hour Get
that way of this podcast here, it is our number three.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
A questionable decision.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben
Maler Show. We are in the air everywhere inhabitants as
we are very fresh and frugal, coast to coast, border,
the border and beyond on the vast and overwhelmingly powerful
(01:22):
microphones of fsre emmodinating live from the lounge, the loquacious
lounge of the world famous Fox Sports Radio Studios, broadcasting
from Lost Wages, Nevada, the iHeartMedia building on Fremont Street,
and this portion of the Ben Malar Show on Fox
made possible in part by Tirerak Kathy and Madison tells me.
(01:44):
For over forty years, ty Iraq has been helping customers
like her and Ruth find the right tires for how,
what and where they drive, ship fast and free, which
makes mister Irrigation very happy back by free road hazard protection.
I see the fry guy Fridaddy smiling and convenient installation
options like mobile tire installation, which is a big deal
(02:07):
for Jonathan in Delaware. Tire rack dot com the way
tire buying should be. So our lead this hour is
from all Goda. We go to Toronto. It's all like,
don't get calm tonight, are you ready?
Speaker 3 (02:24):
No?
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Today's today? All the pomp and circumstance. It's on Fox.
Who will have according to John Smoltz, momentum.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
We'll have to tune in Joe Davis and John Smoltz.
I have could call what is.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
It that would be game number one of the twenty
five World Series as Blake Snell bro, I ain't playing
less again, min Bro, I'm risking my life, he leads
the I hope he doesn't die in the mound. Blake
Snell leads the Dodger Juggernaut, So, bougie, they have two planes.
(02:56):
Two planes when they travel too players can't be sitting
near the unwashed. So Blake Snell leads the Dodger Juggernaut
into the building formerly known as SkyDome against Trey Is Savage, Yes,
Savage and the Blue Jays.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Now La announced some roster moves. I thought this was interesting.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
And I have the bully pulpit pitcher Alex Vesia, who
gets a lot of a lot of time on the
mound for the Doyers. His World Series availability unclear. He's
dealing with a very vague, deeply personal family matter. I
don't know if anything else came out in the last
few hours here, but I just saw that, so it
(03:35):
does not sound great. So Dave Roberts said the team
is going day today, which is nice to know.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
So that's to me.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
I don't know the details on that. And we're to
leave my commentary out there is something we're really to say.
He's not available to pitch. It must be bad otherwise
it's the freaking World Series you'd want to pitch. So
hopefully he takes care of that and things work out
the way they're supposed to work out. The story though,
is that the Dodgers have decided and this is bad news.
So if you're a Dodger fan, I hate to be
(04:04):
the bearer of bad news, but it's part of the
job and sometimes you have to be the messenger of doom.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
And I'm about to do it.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
And it's with a heavy heart that I inform you
that the Dodgers have decided that Clayton Kershaw is going
to be on the twenty twenty five World Series roster.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
I know it's a tough day, tough day.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Now.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
He didn't appear in the NLCS because he sucks after
getting tormented by the Philadelphia Phillies.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
So that is a good jumping off point.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Let us discuss the question, all right, how do you
rule on Clayton Kershaw being added added to the Dodgers
twenty twenty five World Series roster? So my views on this,
I have the Oynster the mighty zol Tar and Ross
dress for less, and we will combine all of these
(05:00):
things together, and we're gonna make the Gabba goool.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
We're gonna make the Gobba gol.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
So, first of all, based on the fact that Dodgers
play their games just down the road from the Hollywood Sign,
I would like to give the Dodgers credit because they
won an Emmy for bad decisions, Emmy meaning mental error.
This is a mental error Clayton Kershaw being added to
(05:25):
the twenty twenty five World Series roster. Are you bloody
kidding me? I thought this was Joe. I'd to buddy
of mine. I tell you how I saw somebody sent
me a text and we were driving here to Vegas
and said, hey, Kershaw's on the roster. I said, that's funny. Aha,
you lose it got me U And then it turned
out to be true. So the joke's on me. But
after the Dodgers they dodged a bullet with Kershaw again.
(05:49):
They didn't put him on the roster against the Bruises.
They bring him back. Are you trying to level the
playing field for the Blue Jays? Is this like NASCAR
when they have restricted plate racing? You're like, we're good,
let's put Kershaw on the roster. That's like putting the
guy who missed curfew in charge of team security.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Who does that.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
This is completely unforced. And I'll tell you what this is.
I'll there's some psychobabble. This is Dodger Hubris. This is
Dodger ares. They want Kershaw on the roster, even though
he could be in the dugout and celebrate, they want
him out there. They envision being up by seven runs
in the ninth inning of the closeout game, and they'll
send Kershaw out like they had him out digging up
(06:28):
the mound his last game at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
And here's the thing. And maybe I'm wrong on this.
I don't know. I'm not there anymore.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
But nobody, to my knowledge, put a gun today roberts
head or a knife to the neck of the nerds
and said put Kershaw out there. Kershaw has spent an
entire lifetime proving to every man, woman and child that
he cannot handle the immense pressure of October baseball.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
That is not my opinion. It is a fact.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
We're talking about a ballplayer that has it a four
point six y three era in the postseason in forty games?
Speaker 2 (07:05):
How bad is that?
Speaker 4 (07:07):
All?
Speaker 5 (07:07):
Right?
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Let me explain something I did some digging. I had
some time. I did some digging. Here, how bad is
Clayton Kershaw in the playoffs? Among all pitchers that have
made at least forty postseason appearances in the history of
professional baseball? Is Clayton Kershaw in the top fifty all time?
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Back? Yes? Is he in the top forty all time? Bad? Yes?
How about top thirty? Yep?
Speaker 1 (07:34):
How about top twenty? Ding ding ding ding ding Not
even it can't be higher than twenty. Right, Come on,
what if I told you? What if I told you
that among all pitchers in the history of baseball that
goes back, not a decade, not since nineteen seventy. Since
eighteen sixty nine, Clayton Kershaw has the worst earned run
(07:59):
at bridge in the history of professional baseball all time
with forty appearances or more. You realize what happened in
eighteen sixty nine. We were four years removed from the
Civil War, ending in eighteen sixty nine when they started
playing professional baseball what's known now as the major leagues.
(08:21):
Four years after the Civil War, Kershaw's got the highest
era of all time, forty one years before the widespread
use of the automobile, Kershaw has the highest era of
all time. And yet here we are the World Series
beginning later today, and the Dodgers, like Lemmings to the cliff.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
That the film does not lie.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
When someone shows you who they are, believe them the
first time, or at least the fortieth time. Kershaw is
the October Oyster. He sweats like a pig. He does,
he does big, get on the mound, he melts under
the bright lights. And the Dodgers just gave him another
(09:05):
match to burn the house down? What are we doing
all right now? On the other side, Page two to Toronto.
And now, as we mentioned the Blue Jays, they made
their own announcement the game one started. Trey Y Savage
will start Game one of the World Series against snell
Zilla at the Rogers Center. Now, your Savage is twenty two.
(09:30):
It'll be the first rookie to start game number one
of the Fall Class since way back in twenty oh six.
I won't even live in twenty oh six. That's when
Verlander and Anthony Reyes squared off for the Tigers and Cardinals,
respectively in that World Series.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
So you Savage. But you know, it's been a long time.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
If the Cardinals world, they've been bad for a while,
haven't Anyway, You Savage has as many regular season starts
as he has made in the postseason. He's made three
regular season big league starts, three starts in the postseason
after the Blue Jays called him up from a Triple
A Buffalo. I have a nice Buffalo Bison hat courtesy
of I think that was Alf the Alien Opiner. I believe,
(10:11):
but hey, that was back in mid September. So the
question on this one, how concerned how concern should the
blue Jays be about rookie Tray you Savage and his
lack of experience? So, after eight minutes long Mallard deliberation,
I have determined that the Toronto Blue Jays the level
(10:31):
of concern, How concern should they be? I'll tell you zero,
not a zip, As the great southsayer of our time,
the Mighty Xultar says, if you don't mind, my friend,
it doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
It's not rocket science.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
As we know, experience is only a factor when you
let it be.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
It's right therewith momentum.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
You know how I feel about momentum, Well, I feel
the same way. I feel the same exact way about
playoff experience.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
I'll give you an example. We just mentioned Clayton.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Kershaw, who's got the worst era in the playoffs of
anyone forty or more games since the beginning of baseball
in eighteen sixty nine. Clayton Kershaw's got a PhD in
playoff experience. He's also got a PhD in choking. All right,
he's got a lifetime pass on the vomit comet, yep,
the vomit comment. Meanwhile, this kid doesn't even know what's
(11:27):
going on, said three playoff games. He's got no scar
tissue from horrific performances in the playoffs. He's too dumb
to know he's supposed to suck in these games. And
that's the malord mantra right there. It's one of the
mantras we have on the show. Matchups don't matter in
games like this, film doesn't matter, home field advantage doesn't.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Matter, no mentum does.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
An example, it doesn't matter because made up playoff experience
doesn't matter. You flush it all the way, you flush
it like a number two. It's it's just who's better
in that moment today. Today's the day Game one of
the World Series, and so sometimes ignorance is actually bliss.
He's got no carry on baggage while others are lugging
(12:07):
giant suitcases in Vat. Kershaw's got so much playoff baggage
that the baggage fees are insane. That's probably why the
Dodgers fly two different planes, because Kershaw's got so much
baggage they need one plane for all of Kershaw's all
the demons that Kershaw's got from playoff games where he
puked all over the mound and pooped his pants and
all that stuff. All right, now, final thought, we move
(12:29):
away from the World sit. I'm excited about watching. Were
checking that out at the undisclosed part of it. Anyway
to sportsbook somewhere here, I don't know where, not sure where.
Anyway to Philadelphia, where we mentioned this earlier. I want
to expand on it.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
So the GM.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Dave Dombrowski, longtime baseball executive Dave Dombrowski, This guy's seen
a few things. He knows where the bodies are buried.
Worked in professional baseball since at least the early eighties,
if not the seventies. Been around a while, so Dombrowski.
He went on some Extrajob Baseball podcast recently and addressed
some of the chatter on social media. Been a lot
(13:07):
of noise that after Dombrowski said that Bryce Harper is
no longer elite, that is the tell that the Philadelphia
baseball team is planning on saying bye bye to the
face of the Philadelphia Phillies franchise.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
So Dombrowski was asked about that.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Did he A say absolutely, we can't stand Bryce Harper.
The guy's a dog with fleas. We're gonna get rid
of him. Did he say, B be no comment or
c We're not trading Bryce Harper? All right, pens down
reveal answers and that would be see dom Browski said.
(13:47):
Quote when asked about the idea of trading Bryce Harper
said that couldn't be further from the truth.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
We're not trading Bryce Harper. Question.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Does Dave Dombrowski's statement end the chatter around the Phillies
dealing Bryce Arbor?
Speaker 2 (14:06):
So this is a suckers game, is what this is?
Speaker 6 (14:10):
Right?
Speaker 1 (14:10):
That's the way I will frame it that in five
bucks will get you a nice pumpkin spice Lotte.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
This time of the year. You can enjoy that, not
yourself out.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
And that is the classic Pop goes to weasel terminology.
Teams lie all the time. We talk about every single
day here. Most of the time we talk together, me
and you together. I talk about someone lying. If a
team really isn't trading a guy. My experience tells me
they don't even bring it up. They don't acknowledge it.
They just forget about it, don't talk about When they
(14:39):
say they're not trading a ballplayer, it means give us
an offer, you tell us something. We've seen this a
lot of NFL trade deadlines coming up. We've seen We've
talked about this a couple of days this week, where
you know, the Raiders and the Bengals have come out
with statements, we're not trading so and so, and they've
leaked that story and I don't believe it. They just
want the write offer, they want that sweet spot offer.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
And then and they're good now.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
The difference with Bryce Harper is this, he's the one
that is in the driver's seat. He's wearing the pants.
I don't know how else I can say in that relationship.
He's got a full no trade claus full note trade class.
He's also got body ink, he's got the Philly fanatic tattooed,
So that would be rather odd if he played for
the Mets or the Marlins or the Braves and he's
(15:23):
got the Philly fanatic tattoo on his arm or whatever.
So Bryce is essentially a modern day Rocky. He's become that,
even though he hasn't won yet. He's mister Philadelphia. I
know he's from where we're doing the show from here
in Vegas, but he's mister Philadelphia.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
And here's the plot twist. Are you ready for the plot?
You are okay? Good? The contract.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
This is how bizarre world professional sports is and how
unrelatable professional sports is to the common man, the working man.
Bryce Harper has a three hundred and thirty million dollar contract. Now,
he signed that contract. I believe it was twenty nineteen.
I think it was twenty nineteen. That is, at the time,
it was like, oh my god, that's Fort Knox three
(16:05):
hundred and thirty million to leave the nattitude of Washington
and Rick and Maryland saying morning time. He gave up
morning time with Rick and Maryland to go play in Philadelphia.
And now now it looks like something you would find
on a rack at Ross Dress for Less, the discount
part of which is already low with the discount part,
(16:25):
like Rob Parker would find that at Ross Dress for Less.
And Harper has been he has been a lookie lou
over the last six years. He's been watching all these
guys sign five hundred, six hundred, seven hundred million dollar
contracts and he's stuck on that discount rack in comparison,
even though he's got three hundred thirty million. So I
think what we should do is start a GoFundMe for
(16:46):
Bryce Harper. How about a bake sale. I'll bake some cookies.
We'll be good on that.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
So if there's.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Any any movement on this, any movement on this, it's
not the Phillies trading Bryce Harper. It's the Phillies paying
Bryce Harper even more money, which would.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Be an odd situation.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
It's a weird juxtaposition because Harper, the GM said he's
not elite anymore. So if he's not elite, why would
you give him more money. He's a good player, but
not an leade player, so that don't make a lot
of sense. And there's stories Harper's upset with Don Browski
because he called him out on his birthday and all
this stuff, and so you give him some more money
and all that, and so this is not not necessarily
(17:29):
about a trade.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
It's more about a leverage situation.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Remember you never ever, you never ever take a front
office at their word when they say one thing.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
It's like the zig zag. We used to have a caller, good.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Caller in my early days here at Fox Sports Radio
named zig Zag and it's zig zags when they zig
u zag, and that's it. So when they say no trade,
you keep one eye open on the smoke because there's
usually going to be a little bit of fire. We're
off on the horizon out in the wild lou Yonder,
you'll see a little bit of fire. It is the
(18:04):
Ben Mallor Show. If you would like to be part
of this program. It is an interactive show. It's one
of the advantags you have. You're with us on the
Red Eye here on the All Night Live show. Those
daytime podcast people cannot call in. They could call in,
but there's other gas bags on during the.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Day and not me.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
So if you want to be part of it and
it'll take call. Those most daytime shows are too bogie
to take calls. They can be bothered with calls. They
talk to you unwashed. So anyway, if you want to
be part eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight
seven seven nine nine six six three sixty nine, I
am broadcasting from the iHeart Building here at the Fremont
Speed Fremont Street.

the iHeart app later on. I'm not sure what time
I'm going to be there the Power Trip Morning Show,
which is a very popular morning show on Kfan. These guys,
they're like the Howard Stern of Minnesota radio. They get
huge ratings, massive ratings, and for some reason they clearly
made a mistake. They said, Hey, we're going to be
in Vegas. You want to come hang out? I said, sure,
why not? So that's why I'm here. So I'm gonna
(19:13):
I don't know what I'm gonna be there. I got
some things to do after the show, but I will
pop over there and hang out with them for as
long as they'll have me, I think until I fall asleep,
and so that'll be exciting.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
So I'm looking forward to that. Those are good.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Dudes, and I'm sure they'll be very excited to talk
about how pathetic the Vikings were. Unless they don't talk
about that at all, just pretend it didn't happen eight seven,
seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven, seven nine nine,
six sixty three sixt nine. Yeah, skull, skull. Yeah. Anyway,

So a Pennsylvania high school built a brand new twenty
five million dollar football stadium on top of a blank
and this has gotten some attention.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
So I thought this would be perfect.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Scrooge in Northern California, who loves to brag that he's
part of the younger demo, but eventually he'll be part
of the older demos.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Just if you live long enough. What else do we
have this?
Speaker 1 (23:16):
He went with a Ben Malor statue clam from Parts
and None says the answer is an old pickleball court?

Is that still popular? Pickaball? Luke the vending.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Guy says, A dollar general, a torn down chuck e
cheese from Asher? Who else we have on top of
a giant whoopee pie from Late Night Drug Tester?
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Who else?
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Andy in Lionel Lake says the answer. They built the
stadium on top of an old Rocky boxing gymnasium and
on top of old Smokey the cape Cod paper Boy.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
I haven't heard from that dude in the alt. Where
you been? Cape Cod paper Boy don't check in very
often anymore. Bad job by you, but I'm glad you're back.
Speaker 1 (23:52):

a mountain from King Rory, an old landfill from kurtis
see flusher. Gumby Dave says, on top of a restaurant
serving cheese, steak, Hogy's and whoopee pies that that's the answer.
Stevie Meatballs says, on top of spaghetti, all covered with
cheese and lots of meat balls.
Speaker 2 (24:15):

Speaker 1 (24:20):
Opina says on top of a Culver's restaurant they find
the In and Out Burger in the in the Midwest.
Love Culver's restaurant, one of the god so good.
Speaker 2 (24:28):

They don't have one in Vegas, un for I got one.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (24:35):

Speaker 2 (24:39):
What else do we have? Page down? Pet cemetery from

club jiggle joint?
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Is it a strip club? Let's find out?
Speaker 1 (25:52):
No, It turns out a Pennsylvania high school has built
a brand new twenty five million, twenty five million football
stadium on top.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Of a three hundred car parking garage right on top.
I love a parking garage. It's amazing how much money
these high schools.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
If there's a big one in Georgia that just built
a massive stadium, Texas is the king of these high
school stadiums.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Man.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
And the city I grew up in, we had one stadium.
All the schools had to share at the one stadium.
That's it, and so you had to go to the
other school to play and all that stuff. But man,
man alive, let's call the calls. We have lame jokes
of the week coming up a little bit later in
the hour. Let's go to surfer dude in Sundayego. Hello,

I just want to say hello, on man.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
Okay, here in San Diego, all right, all right, go,

Now, hello, Andy the comic book guy. Welcome, Hey Ben. Wow.
Speaker 6 (28:01):
I came in with like a poignant thing to say,
but I got to go off scripts here because you
said so many ridiculous things in the last forty five minutes.
So first off, I got to give my condoless to
Robbie the Mariner fans. I thought the Sabers and Padres
were some real loser franchises. But oo baby, the Mariners
my gud. But still go Falcons, Go Josh Allen. But Ben,
(28:24):
I've got a fun fact for you. Are you ready?
Speaker 2 (28:27):
I love fun facts. I love you. I'm yes, I'm here.

There?
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Okay, well you calls kind of boring so far, he's
not a great call by you.
Speaker 6 (28:38):
Fun fact. You mentioned the Buffalo Bisons earlier, which was
totally out of left field.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
Is not expecting that.
Speaker 6 (28:44):
But do you know which current person that is involved
in this world series was once a Buffalo Bison? Yeah,
I think he'll be surprised.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Well, there's the Blue Jays, Triple A teams in Buffalo,
so there's probably a lot of people that played in
Buffalo that are playing.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
In the world.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
Let me walk that back. That's not playing, that is.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Not playing in the world.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
I don't here's a fun I will touch up your
fun I have my own fun fact, but I don't
know what is it.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Give me the answer.
Speaker 6 (29:14):
Dave Roberts, he was for about five years.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
Yeah, I know he played with the Cleveland Indians. I
know are not allowed to say that anybody he played
with the Cleveland Indians.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
I was, I was, I was with the doing stuff
with the Dodger media when they got Dave Roberts and
they he was on like a spring training contract, and
he was like will he make the team?
Speaker 2 (29:34):
Will he not make the team? And he made.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
He ended up playing quite a bit. They weren't very
good when he was on the Dodge. You want my
fun fact, Andy the comic book guy.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
Fun fact.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
I have been to the Buffalo Bison Stadium. How about
that fun fact? And they were now they weren't playing
a game. I walked right in the Bison Stadium and
this was years ago, and nobody stopped me, and I
just walked right in and sat.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Down and it's right there in downtown was what was
the name of it.
Speaker 6 (30:03):
I forget it was pilot Field maybe yes, yes.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
Yes, that sounds right to me.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
Yeah, but it was cool and like one of the
dudes is one of one of the guys that was
like the groundskeeper or whatever is Oh yeah, come on in,
you know, check it out. As I said, I'm a
loser from California. I'm just here one day whatever, So well.
Speaker 6 (30:19):
How it is okay, but anyway, this is all great.
Thank you, thank you for that reminisce. That's beautiful. None
of this was the reason why I called. And I'm
almost going off script here more for that god awful,
horrible stuff you just said about Los Angeles legend Clinton Kershaw.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Oh don't stop. Stop.
Speaker 6 (30:35):
It should be thrown in the fire.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
Stop.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
Like I'm.
Speaker 6 (30:39):
Like, you should just delete that and never say you're
you're a fan.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
Of Okay, so what did I What did I say? Correct?
Speaker 1 (30:46):
If you go back to eighteen sixty nine, Kershaw has
the highest year of any picture that's made forty appearances
or more in the postseason.
Speaker 6 (30:53):
A real stat. But you are completely omitting the heart
and soul of the story, and you're not things. I
don't even care about the seven run thing, even though
you're right, but we do need another left hander, okay,
And you are right, he's not going out there unless
we're up by like seven runs. I'm not going to
disagree with that. But of course he's gonna be on
the roster. What else he gonna put on, like Emmitt
(31:14):
Sheen or something I.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
Would rather have. I would rather have you on the roster.
I would rather have you on the roster.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
Okay, I've seen enough, you did the little ceremony, you had,
the digging up of the mound.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
Whatever that was.
Speaker 6 (31:27):
I'm no guy exists this whole career with one team.
We're already talking about Bryce Harper being traded. I get
he's got the tattoo. Anyway, none of this is why
I call it, Ben, Ben, this is the real reason
why I called it. Okay, yes, hang on, there's a
lot of terrible takes on the radio, a lot. You've
thrown out a couple tonight, but you know there's a
lot more than just you. We've got hang On, we
got cowtured, We've got that Ochio guy who smoochs with
(31:50):
that that Juggalo lady. But Ben, Ben, I think I
think you have to wear the crown of bad takes,
because I mean, I hate to ask you to do
work over the weekend, but maybe you could, like just
splice together a sixty second clip of all of Ben's
terrible taken on firing Dave Roberts.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
Robert, you know what I would, I would let me
tell you, I'd fire Robbers right now.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
I'd fire him before game one, and.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
They wouldn't miss a beat because he doesn't do crap
somebody else makes it right now. They already they're printing
up the script for game one. Here, Dave, remember the ship.
They'll get him up. They'll get him a teleprompter in
the dugout, they'll get him a prompter or read the script.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
You didn't do anything. Stop with that, Dave, Please, Dave Roberts,
my fat ass Dave.
Speaker 6 (32:35):
Roberts with Clayton Kershaw pitching in the World Series all
that time, Fifth.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
One, Yeah, nothing to do with that.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
They've had the greatest roster of talent assembled because they
spend a lot of money and they have great players.
They took Freddie Freeman from the Braves of Tany, from
the Angels. I mean, the whole thing, most of it
is that is built with players from other teams. Fine,
it worked good for them, but don't tell me it's
like Dave Roberts is anything that's putting them over the top.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
He's not.
Speaker 6 (33:06):
Fifth World. The only other manager that's maybe better in
recent history is Dusty Baker, sadly, and he had to
cheat to get his last one. All right, Roberts, haste.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
Take and Andy, you're you're getting You're gonna end up
in the in the talk radio caller goolog You're gonna
We're gonna send you Siberia if you keep this up.
You realize you're Are you drinking? You must be drunk, right,
that's no sober person would say. Dave Roberts and Dusty Baker,
Oh my god, I feel sad for you.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
I feel sad for you.
Speaker 6 (33:41):
And much franchises as Dusty Baker turned around.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
Come on, you're out of your mind? Is this because
you read too many comic books?
Speaker 7 (33:49):
Is that?
Speaker 2 (33:49):
Why is that? Time?
Speaker 3 (33:52):
Man?
Speaker 6 (33:53):
But I'm going to own the nickname.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
It's cool you're done with comic books. You're that burned
out on comic books. You were Andy the comic book guy.
Speaker 6 (34:00):
Dude, I loved it. But in a consumer society where
you just got to sell other people ship, you can't.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
Say that I gotta I gotta go.
Speaker 5 (34:09):
We gave them too much time.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
Yeah, I mean, I think for the record, we should
be able to say that. I think that's a great word.
I use that world. Open up that gate that's like,
you know, the gateway drug of cursing?
Speaker 3 (34:24):
Is it?
Speaker 2 (34:24):
Yes, it's it's not freaking. My dad used to be like,
that's the gateway. No, it's the s h word. Is
anyone really offended by that word? Even we're on all
over the Bible Belt. Everyone's worried about the Bible Belt.
Even people in the Bible Belt say that word. Now,
I isn't even really worried about it. You know what
I'm saying? Oh, let's start a petition.
Speaker 6 (34:42):
You know you do that?
Speaker 2 (34:44):
Let me know? And I am, what's that? Can we
say it in other languages? I? Well, I have done
that in the past, I have, I have.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
I used to say a lot of bad words in
Yiddish and nobody called me on it. So I've cut
back on that a little bit. But a voice of
my head says, cursing is good for your mental health.
So Andy the comic book guy has got good mental health.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
Good for him. Right, we'll pause with the collusse. We'renna
