Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our numb berth three. All about
the American League Championship Series Game three, As they say,
still water runs deep, Yankees and Guardians. What's the mood
around the Yankees after blowing this game? They were trailing,
they took the lead only to give it back. Also,

(00:21):
what does this dramatic victory do for Emmanuel class A
and the Guardians? And what is the big picture for
the American League American League Championship Series after three games?
Easy for me to say, We'll get to all that
and more right now here. It is our number three,
putting the bomb in Bronx bombers. Welcome in the beginning

(00:48):
of another hour of the Ben Mahlor Show. As we
are in the air everywhere painting the black, as we
are loud and proud all night, coast the coast, sport,
of the border, and beyond all the beast and markedly
powerful microphones of fs are amminating live from the active,

(01:15):
the radioactive universe, as we are broadcasting live. Tyrack dot
com studios tyrect dot com will help you get there
at unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free road hazard protection
and over ten thousand recommended in stars tiract dot Com
the Way Tire Buying showb Now I get paid to

(01:42):
talk about what's going on each individual day. Right, we
do the show every day. We focus on what goes
on that day in sports, and it's a soap opera.
It's the Days of our lives type drama. That's kind
of how the gig works. So, whether you like it
or not, that's how we do things. And some days
are a little better than this would be a good day.

(02:02):
This would be a solid sporting day. Right in our life.
There aren't a lot of days like this. You had
two playoff games in baseball, you had an NFL game,
all kinds of moving parts. We liked it. On Benny Brightside,
I enjoyed the day. There was no greater drama though

(02:23):
than from the Land. That is where airon Judge and
the New York Yankees visited and they wrangled with Jose
Ramirez and the Cleveland baseball team. It was Game three
of the American League Championship Series and beautiful Northern Ohio.
The Yankees holding serve at home, so they were up
two zero coming into the game. Now they say a

(02:43):
series does not start until they road team wins whoever
they are, So would the series begin in Game four. Now,
I don't know if you saw this one or not.
Perhaps you missed it, but if you did miss it,
you missed a hum bigger, a humdigger of a ballgame.
A rookie pinch hitter John Kenzie Noel who looks like

(03:09):
a mountain man but apparently doesn't play like that. Rookie
pinch hitter John Kenzie Noel hits a dramatic game tie
home run with two outs in the ninth inning, and
then David Fry he's a fry guy. He fried the Yankees,
connecting on a two run bomb in the tenth inning,

(03:31):
and Cleveland wings. Cleveland wins. They get past New York
seven to five on Thursday night, and so it's a
two to one series. The American League Championship Series nicknamed
Big Christmas, and for the Yankees it was jingle bells.
Jingle bells and they smell because a Big Christmas. This

(03:53):
guy Noel getting it done, Captain clutch. So Cleveland actually
led this game, read a one in the eighth inning
before Aaron Judge ended up hitting a two run homer
off All Star closer Emmanuel class A. I feel like
we've seen that before. And then Gihn Carlos Stanton, he

(04:13):
also went deep with a solo dong after that. So
let us discuss the question what is the mood around
the Yankees after blowing this game, going from losing to
winning to losing again. I've got double feature presidential and hypertension,

(04:39):
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are going to wax lyrical, is what we're going
to do. So first of all, this is the gut punch. Now,
it's not the ultimate gut punch. It's a gut punch,
because ultimate gut punch is you you lose the game,
you end up trailing in the series, you lose the game,
you lose the Series's the ultimate gutch punch, a gut punch.

(05:02):
But this is a kick to the nuts is what
this is. Okay, it just is because the Yankees win
this game, and it's a whole different situation. We'll get
to that in a second. But you rode the roller coaster.
You had an adrenaline charged, white knuckle exhilarating, some would say, frightening,

(05:23):
possibly even terrifying, thrill ride of a game, and the
Yankee bullpen which had been terrible during the regular season
for most of the summer, and then had been lights
out in the playoffs, world shattering, and then here their
head is spinning around. There they're riding the vomit comment.
What a blown opportunity? Up three nothing and it's in

(05:46):
the back. What's in the back? The series is in
the back. The Yankees then did the thing you can't
do at the time you can't do it. They fumbled
the back. And for the Yankees, it was a double
feature on the big stream because the first film for them,
forget the beginning of the game when they were trailing late,
it was a Hallmark movie. The hallmark moment when Aaron

(06:08):
Judge stepped up a guy that had been sucking at
a time you can't suck, and he hits a clutch
home run against the top relief pitcher that Cleveland has.
Then Gean Carlo also goes deep. So this is a
mojo malmy for the Yankees. They added another run after that,

(06:30):
and then after a brief intermission, the second part of
the double feature went from Hallmark movie to the Rocky
Mountain horror show Puke in Your Mouth Bad. Luke Weaver
had a brain freeze and the game turned to dust
clay Holme. What up Holmes? Clay Holmes soft serve in

(06:54):
the tenth inning and that's it. So the Yankees lose.
They still lead the series. Now on the other side,
what does this dramatic win do for Emmanuel class as Guardians.
So I'll tell you what it does, all right. It
is presidential presidential. It is a presidential pardon. Had this

(07:16):
gone the other way, Cleveland would have had to have
traded a manual Class A. They still might anyway, because
they are a cheap franchise and that's what chief franchises do.
That would have been the end of him. They could
not have brought him back. And things were bleak, and
it was so bad for Cleveland down to the last
out that they actually called in a priest to come

(07:39):
in and administer the last rites of the Church of Baseball.
In the emergency room. There was a near death experience.
But Cleveland, for the moment, is born again. Now that said,
things have gone haywire for the Guardians. It is a
Beauty and the Beast special, a tale as old time.

(08:01):
And one of our listeners in Ohio pointed this out.
I had said this back in August. I see this
every year in baseball, in particular, when your strength becomes
a weakness, it is predictable this time of the year.
The superpower of the Cleveland baseball team this year had
been their bullpen, and in particular Emmanuel Class. No one

(08:24):
could get to this guy. He already gagged against the
Tigers and they overcame that, and now he gags against
the Yankees. The whole thing goes to hell if he's
no good. Like the setup of the team is have
a lead that they've been so good at home. They
get a lead, they've got two or three high leverage

(08:46):
relievers and they can close it out. But he's the
most important guy, and he's gone from great to garbage
right now? All right? Final? Fuck? What is the big
picture to the American League Championship Series? As they chug
along here? Game four is later on, that's the primetime game.
The Dodgers and Mets will be the early game. So

(09:07):
for this series, it's all about hypertension. Now, you're argue
in the series hasn't started yet. I wouldn't disagree with you,
because the home teams have won so far. But it
will go a little wonky today the blood pressure is
fluctuating up and down. The Guardians when they played in
the Bronx, they were in goblin mode, bad defense, bad pitching.

(09:28):
They handed games to the Yankees. They cleaned that up
a good amount here.

Speaker 2 (09:33):
Now.

Speaker 1 (09:33):
They still could have lost the game, and likely should
have lost the game. However, they won, and they showed Moxie,
not my dog Moxy. They showed moxie. They showed spunk,
they showed some guts. And so the standoff continues. And again,
you know, no playoff series truly begins until the road
team wins a game. Blah blah blah, blah blah. If

(09:54):
Cleveland plays a clean game, they'll win at home, They'll
win today. And you look at the matchup, and the
Yankees are going with Luis Heel versus Gavin Williams and
the former Indian now Guardian Gavin Williams. So Heel last
seven starts for the Yankees an urn run average of

(10:16):
over five. He's allowed eight home runs his last thirty
four innings. But the problem with that is that Gavin
Williams on the other side hasn't been much better. He's
got an ERA of almost five in his last seven starts,
but that tells you what has happened, not what is
going to happen. It is not likely to be an

(10:36):
oil painting. Cleveland wins again. The pendulum of pressure goes
back to the New York Yankees, not that it's on
Cleveland at all, because they're not supposed to win. As
we've talked about playing with house money in this series,
it is the Ben Malor Show. If you'd like to

(10:57):
be part, you can shown us here. Had a big
announced yesterday on my guest spot with Fesco in the

there's something you can be a part of. Exciting stuff.

(11:18):
Exciting stuff is we crank it up a couple of notches.
So you want to hear about that. That'll be coming
up a little bit later time. Now for the Mallor
Riddle of the day, here's the Mallor Riddle of the day.
LSU off an LSU offensive tackle doesn't matter. You don't
know who these people are anyway, but an LSU offensive

(11:38):
tackle that's Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge has an
NIL deal that paid for him to blank Again. A
LSU offensive tackle has an NIL deal that paid for
him to blank. That is the Mallor read love today

(12:02):
the answer. We'll get to it and we will do
it next.

Speaker 1 (12:51):
Wait at this hour, big man's lame joke. So the
week will be coming your way, exciting exciting news by
and then I'll get to the exciting news of the day.
But here's the Malar riddle. An LSU offensive tackle signed
an nil deal that paid for him to blank. That

(13:14):
is the mallor riddle of the day. What is the answer?
Da Boy Malcolm said, watch porn Hub Prime said, skydiving
is the answer. Ferg Dog says to listen to the
Puck podcast. Doubling his listeners. He shots fired by Ferg Dog.
There's a battle between Eddie and Fergdog. There is a

(13:34):
clam says. The answer to the malle riddle is to
kick Chicken Big Max off a football team. Has anyone
had the Chicken Big Mac on the show yet? The
Chicken Big Mac is out now, I have not. I
have not had it either. I have seen reviews that
is not very good. It's just like two chicken nuggets
wrapped around bread. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (13:54):
So I was gonna go get it, but then one
of my friends who has eaten and I said, I
was like, oh, how was it? And they said, the
thought of it is making me nauseous. So I just
I decided to not try it.

Speaker 1 (14:06):
We'll come. Okay, it's a little over dramatic. They have
a fish version too, right, they have a fish Mac
or something like that. OK that far.

Speaker 6 (14:15):
I love a good fish filet and that is too far,
too much fish.

Speaker 7 (14:19):
Yeah, and honestly, I don't like the idea of the
big mac chicken.

Speaker 1 (14:23):
What's your what's your problem with it?

Speaker 7 (14:25):
Do they call it McChicken, a big MC chicken.

Speaker 5 (14:28):
But the chicken big mac. But from what I understand,
the chicken is less. Yeah, it's like a it's like
a giant McNugget rather than a you know, make chicken patty.

Speaker 1 (14:39):
Yeah, that's weird. It's unfortunate. The effort was there, but
not not really.

Speaker 6 (14:44):
I just don't understand how it was like an international phenomenon,
but it's trash. How does that make any sense? Like
bring us something good, bring us the poutine fries, bro Like,
stop giving us stuff we don't want.

Speaker 1 (14:55):
I had a buddy of mine who works in marketing,
who told me that the fast food companies now they
don't spend its much on commercials because all they try
to do is go viral, so they don't really care
whether the product's good. This is my friend told me,
as long as they go viral because they'll sell extra items.

Speaker 7 (15:11):
So that makes sense.

Speaker 1 (15:12):
Yes, all they care about free advertising, and we just
gave him free advertising. Nick and Wisconsin says woke up
randomly tuned on the show. I will podcast it all later.
God bless you Nick, Nick and Wisconsin who saw me
as the axe Man In Minnesota? O g rt Puffin
says LSU player got an nil deal to order order
to fund the greatest fan Tiger Man in Utah. No

(15:34):
doubt to have Benny versus the penny projected on his stomach.
Yes by Late Night Drug Tester seasonal nachos from King Rory.
Who else do we have the new face of jell
O Pudding that's his answer to attend CSB, the Connecticut
School of Broadcasting. That's from ALF that's not around anymore, right,

(15:56):
that's not a thing that's been gone for a while,
Connecticut School of Broadcasting. Who else do we have page down,
page down, a very funny fudgie that will not make
the air. Uh we have something with Forrest Gump shrimping
with Forrest Gump from Rob in Minnesota. Paid eat Popeyees
Chicken Andy from Lion o' lakes. H Eke actually kind

(16:17):
of got it right and he was trying to kid.
JD in Boston says he got paid to buy an
in and out Burger franchise east of the Mississippi River.
But isn't there one either, It's already there. They're building
one in Tennessee. In and out Burger in Nashville.

Speaker 7 (16:32):
Yeah, does Tennessee deserve an in and out burger?

Speaker 3 (16:36):
Wow?

Speaker 1 (16:37):
Nashville is a hipster town. You don't like Nashville.

Speaker 7 (16:40):
I'd never been, ben what's.

Speaker 1 (16:43):
A hip place? And you know it's where ol Buddy
clay Son.

Speaker 7 (16:45):
That's really far though, Like, aren't the thing about in
and out.

Speaker 1 (16:48):
Burg for you?

Speaker 6 (16:49):
But that and it comes from you know, freshness and
has to be delivered in a fresh van.

Speaker 5 (16:55):
Right.

Speaker 1 (16:55):
Yeah, spoiler alert. They actually have cows in parts of Tennessee.
Believe they can kill the cattle and cut them up
and then make the burgers. And they have they have
melt from the cows and the cheese and all that. Yeah,
all right, anyway, Eddie, do you have an answer? It's
the malor riddle of the day. LSU offensive tackle has
an nil deal that paid for him to blank actually

(17:19):
go to class. Don't be outrageous. That's a terrible no.
The correct answer is that the LSU offensive tackles an
nil deal that paid for him to go on an
alligator hunt all is there anything more botball than that?

(17:41):
When I was doing Dodger talk years ago, there was
a guy named Bruce Avan, outfielder for the You remember
Bruce Ads I do former pirate as well. Yeah, he
played for the Marlins also, but he was on the
Dodgers very briefly. And I remember I interviewed him and
he was from I believe it was Louisiana, and his
claim to fame was he had wrestled alligators. So I

(18:01):
remember him telling me about that. And for him, you know,
it's just that's what he grew up doing. What in
any big deal? But for me, it was like, whoa dude,
you know, that's pretty wild. Anyway, let's take a call.
By the way, the Mallard meet and re announced it
with Bob, my buddy, Bob Fesco yesterday. But I'll talk
more about it on my podcast today, the Fifth Hour Podcast.
But we will be going a I'll be going to

(18:23):
Kansas City next month, actually next month, so it's gonna
be here like in I think less than a month.
The actual date of the event, it'll be on a weekend.
It's gonna be on a Saturday, because that's when I
can do it, and I would love to see all
the details will be on my podcast today, the Fifth
Hour Podcast, so hopefully some of you can make it.
I know we have a lot of listeners in Kansas City.

(18:44):
But the great thing about Kansas City is it is
in reasonable driving distance to many Midwestern outposts. And if
you have really nothing going on in your life and
you want to hang out with me and eat chicken
fingers named after my name, then you can do that
or named after me. So that'll be coming up in
mid November. I'm fired up even gonna go to a

(19:06):
Chiefs game. It never been to Arrowhead before. Gonna go
to a Chiefs game and check that check that out.
So details on the podcast later today, Fifth Hour Podcast.
Separate from this podcast. A lot of people chiming in
who had the Big Mac? The Chicken Big Mac Masshole
Mickey says, I had it earlier, saved your money. It's
like a bigger McNugget. However, it just doesn't go good together.

(19:30):
Tom and Fullerton says the Big Mac is terrible Chicken
big Mac. It's just not that great either. Mediocre big
mouth Big Belly says the best thing about McDonald's is
the super Mac. It's a big mac made, but they
make it with the quarter pounder patties. Okay, go for that.

Speaker 7 (19:49):
Yeah sure, okay, So you gets thicker meat.

Speaker 1 (19:52):
By the way, JT the wing man right saying he's upset.
He does like your thicker meat comment, but he's upset
that you are killing Tennessee. He moved from Wisconsin or
from Minnesota, I believe to down to the Tennessee. Listen, Knoxville. Yeah,
all right, let's go to the fronts. No comment by
the RAINA. Let's say hello to Dominican Mike, who's in

(20:13):
Arizona but relocating to Florida. Hello, Dominican Mike.

Speaker 2 (20:17):
Hey, hey it is Let me move to another room.

Speaker 8 (20:20):
I'm not the gym right now.

Speaker 1 (20:21):
Oh yeah, did Jim? What are you doing in the
weight room doing some cardio? What do we got going
on here?

Speaker 2 (20:26):
I'm stretching now, there's some cardio right now. There's gonna
no stretching. I have to work out. You met me,
you know I'm looking. I gotta done there.

Speaker 1 (20:33):
Yeah, you are right. You made you made me feel
very bad. I'm alveray so conscious. You're in great shape,
and it's very unfortunate. For me when I don't like
being around people that are in good shape. Now, who's
in the gym? Anyone in the gym at this hour
in Arizona?

Speaker 2 (20:46):
Yeah yeah, Actually I see there's like, honest people. I'm
looking out right now the window.

Speaker 8 (20:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (20:52):
Oh guys, little fat chicks good of course.

Speaker 1 (20:55):
Yeah, yeah, guys, fat chicks. And the old people. There's
a lot of old people that go in like early
in not everyone young.

Speaker 2 (21:01):
I'm the oldest person here, I think.

Speaker 1 (21:03):
Really. Oh yeah, well wait, wait a couple hours. I
would go to the gym sometimes, you know, three four
in the morning. It's like old people, you know, see,
old folks would go work.

Speaker 2 (21:10):
Yeah, I hear you, you man, But I got to
call you because of uh, you know, I'll go to
Flora next week, so I'm push at the Florida. I
can't call you that off, you know. Yea, the time difference,
you know, of course. But then I needed I watch
today watching the met and watching the Saints. Wow, that

(21:31):
was back.

Speaker 1 (21:32):
Oh my god, I disagree. I enjoyed watching the Mets.
I would like to see the Mets play like that
one more time. That would be wonderful.

Speaker 2 (21:40):
Was great, that was horrible, like I should go in
there and play. Then, you know, like it was that bad?

Speaker 1 (21:47):
Is it isn't that hard if you're a professional pitcher
to throw strikes. I know, no one's perfect, but I know,
I know you're gonna walk some batters and I get
that this is this is next level with the Mets
have been doing.

Speaker 2 (22:01):
I know what's terrible. The good thing about it is
if the Dodgers win, hopefully that got Steven Manhattan won't
call a game because he's I believe that Houston Mets
pads and you know, and that guy. The stakes are
like nineteen seventy five, nineteen eighty all takes, so he
probably won't be calling it the Mets blue. So I'm
definitely something to look forward to.

Speaker 1 (22:20):
If the Dodgers win, that is a fair point. We'll
not hear from him, and a lot of the favorite
people you know on radio who are Mets fans will
have to put their tail between their legs.

Speaker 2 (22:30):
Oh yeah, yeah, absolutely absolutely man So ah right, then
you want.

Speaker 1 (22:34):
To say, all right, get back to the workout, have

good stuff.

Speaker 1 (25:04):

Speaker 8 (25:09):
And.

Speaker 1 (25:10):
You do you got to do it in the morning
time is what you got right time? All right, there's
our buddy, Rick and Maryland.

Speaker 3 (25:18):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.

Speaker 1 (25:23):
The Man.

Speaker 4 (25:24):
I was born in Hawaii, raised in California. I know not,
I know not what cold weather is all about. But
the Cleveland Browns, well, they want a new stadium. It's
been twenty five years, after all, since they built their
last stadium, so they want a new one. And uh,
they don't want to renovate the current stadium there.

Speaker 1 (25:41):
Ud you do that. They want a new stadium, and
they want a domed stadium, domed dome, dome. Now, yeah, again,
I don't know cold Weather.

Speaker 4 (25:52):
I'm sure those people, you know, they sit in those stadiums,
They on those stadiums and freeze their asses off.

Speaker 1 (25:58):
So am I it sell them?

Speaker 4 (25:59):
But it just does doesn't seem right that there would
be a domed stadium in Ohio.

Speaker 1 (26:05):
Now, I hear you. But from a entered they think
they're going to get the super Bowl in Cleveland. Do
you think that'll ever happen? They put one in Detroit.
There's been a super Bowl in Minnesota. Now they might
give them one alone. Yeah, it might. Yeah. So my
position on this, if I'm a fan, I would rather

(26:26):
watch a game in a dome than sit outside for
five hours because you got to get there a couple
hours before and all that, then sit outside in the snow.
And it's not like the cold weather has helped the
Cleveland Browns put good teams on the field and win championship.
It hasn't exactly helped them. And I'm surprised that the
Bills are building in new stadium. They're going to keep
that outdoors.

Speaker 4 (26:47):
And Packers have you know, stayed outdoors at Lambeau, all.

Speaker 1 (26:49):
These Vikings they played outdoors in the old days. They've
been in a dome for a long time. The Lions
before the Silver Dome, they played outside, right, that's a
long time ago, long time ago. Yeah, yeah, they've been
a dome team. Well, what about your Steelers? So someday
eddie the next stadium. It's not Steeler football. No, you'll

(27:12):
leave the Steelers behind if they have to play outdoors.

Speaker 4 (27:14):
No, I wouldn't say that. No indoors, I wouldn't like it.
I don't think a lot of Pittsburgh's would be on
board with that either.

Speaker 1 (27:20):
But from a customer standpoint, going to a game is
it's more enjoyable and experience for the consumer if it's indoors.

Speaker 4 (27:27):
Well, all the games before this year that I went
to Pittsburgh were all cold weather games, and I enjoyed
the the dichotomy of that from what I'm used to.
But that was just one game. There was a season
or four home.

Speaker 1 (27:40):
Games or whatever. You no, I admit that. Okay, Spacoli writes,
and he says they're putting it in and out in
Nashville because Nashville is East LA. Now with all the
displaced Californias. It's referring to the migration of people that
have freed the People's Republic or fleet the People's Republic
of California. It says, Lorena is right. Pecoli says, keep

(28:01):
that nonsense out west. He says cook out is better
and has corn dogs. I don't I've never been to cookouts. Pecoli,
I don't know. I don't know what that is, but
I'll take your word for it.
