Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our nam Bird two behind the
powerful microphones of FSR, saved for posterity's sake the National
League side of the wild card bracket. Who gets the
finger of blame for the Metropolitans blowing this lead in Milwaukee.
(00:22):
There will be a deciding game later today, on this
third of October, that will decide who advances to play Philadelphia.
So who's got more pressure in Game three? The Mets
or the Brewers will discuss that and who has the
edge between the Dodgers and Padres San Diego eliminating the
(00:42):
Atlanta Braves. Will also take a look at those Atlanta
Braves and the story of the twenty twenty four Braves
as well. All that coming your way right now. It's
our number two, a strange brew. Welcome in the beginning
of another hour, It's the Ben Mal Show. We are
(01:02):
in the air everywhere on the River of life, as
it's a game, and it's game on all night long,
coast to coast, border to border and beyond on the
vast and unreasonably powerful microphones of FSRE am monating live
(01:22):
from the machine, just a cog in the audio machine,
we're broadcasting live well tyrack dot com Studios tyract dot

(01:45):
be an Aviva los VICKI a fan of that. So
our lead this hour will stick to baseball. We talked
about the al side of the bracket in a previous hour.
If you miss that, the podcast will be up shortly
after we get done and you can down that and
hear all the fun of that hour. But our lead
this hour is from the other half of the bracket
(02:07):
in Wisconsin and the dramatic moment of the day, and
one of them, there was one in Houston, but the
other one was in the National League bracket, and that
would be involving the New York match looking to close
out the Brewers and advance onto Philadelphia as two of
the most annoying fan bases could dooke it out playdate
(02:29):
with the Phillies on the line. Mets win, they advance,
Mets lose, they have to play an elimination game later
on on Thursday. So how did that go? Well? Jackson
Churio said, you know what I'd like to play another game.
He tied the game in the eighth inning with his
second homer of the night, and someone named Garrett Mitchell.
(02:50):
Don't know who that is, but Garrett Mitchell had a
two run shot later in that same eighth inning. A
dramatic plot twist. As now the Brewers end up winning
five to three over the New Yorkers, and that means
that everything's even up best of three, one to one
(03:11):
Wildcard round. The teams will play decisive Game three on
this night to night Thursday night here in Wisconsin, and
I believe it will go head to head with the
NFL Thursday Night game. So we'll see what happens with that.
Will anyone be watching the baseball be trying to flip
back and forth? But the brew crew, I'm going to
(03:32):
try to become the first team to rally and win
this best of three Wildcard series after losing the opener.
Major League Baseball went to this format just a few
years ago in twenty twenty two, and the Brewers can
be the first team that has been able to come back.
All the games being played in Wisconsin. So let us
discuss the question who gets the finger of blame for
(03:58):
the New York mets a lead late. So I've got
the Duke presidential and spam and we will combine all
of these things together and we are going to make
a pencil, a number two pencil with a nice eraser on.
(04:20):
That's what we're gonna make. So number yeah. So this
one is easy. There's one person that gets to wear
the dunce cap. You point the finger at that one person,
the finger of blame, and that would be a relief pitcher,
a journeyman vagabond relief pitcher named Phil Maydan. He was
on the mound there, the former cheating astro. He's bounced
(04:44):
all over the place around baseball Cleveland, Tampa Bay. But
he did play on the A holes when they were
in the World Series a couple of years ago. But
here's looking at you, kid. Okay, this guy came in there,
and Phil Maton came in there, and he was the Duke,
the Duke of Puke on the mound as all over
his uniform. Now we had to call her last hour
from this lunatic from New Jersey who now lives in Florida,
(05:07):
who's like, oh, you should just use a different picture
of every evening. Of course, that's great if no one
has food poisoning, has a bad breakfast, and everyone's in
a good frame of mind and all that. But it's
the age old problem we have in baseball that no
one has machismo anymore. It's a conga line of relief pitchers,
one after another. Everyone does it, you know, everyone's doing it.
(05:30):
All it takes is one guy to not be feeling
it right. The algorithms are off a little bit for
that particular guy, and all of a sudden you have
what happened? Things go haywire. Good news for Milwaukee, bad
news for the New York Metropolitans, who are now in
an elimination situation right now. So who's got more pressure?
(05:54):
Game five Thursday, Wisconsin, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Who's got more pressure?
The Mets or the Brewers. So, after eight minutes long
review of this particular matchup, the scales are squarely pointing
to the Metropolitans and it's not even close. Right. The
Mets people don't realize this because they think the Dodgers
(06:17):
had the highest payroll, and ever, the Dodgers deferred a
bunch of money, so technically the New York Metropolitans had
the highest payroll in baseball three hundred and seventeen million dollars.
They're also the number one media market, led by hedge
fund Robert Baron Steve Cohen. The Brewers, on the other hand,
are twenty first in the money game if you're into
(06:40):
such things here, and they're just happy that their cheese
curds are hot and they're playing with house money once
they lost that first game, even though the games are
in their home ballpark, they're playing with house money. So
the Mets here they have the curse of the tight
took syndrome, and the pressure's on them going into an
elimination elimination game. And usually the team that scores first
(07:05):
in an elimination game, the other team starts panicking, they
get that flop sweat and it's on like Donkey Kong.
They're gonna need a defibrillator. And we'll see if that's
the case in this game. Now page two here too.
Suddenly Ago we go the other half of the National
League wild Card bracket, and that is where Manny Machutto
had a two run double and Jackson Merrill, he's a rookie,
(07:27):
he also had a two run triple, five run rally
against Max Freed or Fried as he looked at the
end of the year for the Bravos. There and all
of that, with not one but two outs in the
second inning, and good afternoon, good evening, and good night
for Atlanta. The Padres hold on by the skin on
(07:49):
their chinny chin chin. They sweep the Brave five to
four the final in Game two of the National League
Wildcard Round. So bye bye. So what is the story?
We know the better stories in Atlanta, But what is
the story for the twenty twenty four Braves. Here where
we at on the twenty twenty four Braves, Well, this
(08:11):
one's not that hard, Atlanta. I'm not giving them a
pass on my score card. The guys that were the
backups who got them into the playoffs, they malfunction. They
did not get it done here. They failed. The secondary
players failed. But Max Freed is not a secondary player.
(08:32):
It's the other flotsam and jetsam on the Atlanta Braves
that were not good enough. Now that said, overall, the
baseball world will give out. Well I'm not giving it out.
The baseball world will give the Atlanta Braves a presidential pardon,
a federal pardon. And here's why. If you look back
to opening day in late March early April, the Atlanta
Braves ten players on the field, the nine players the
(08:54):
eight position players plus the pitcher, plus the DH. Six
of the ten on the opening day lineup for the
Braves this year missed at least two months and some
of them are out now. Chris Saale not on the
playoff roster. He out, he's gone, Ronald Acuda Junior missing
most of the year, Spencer Streider out, Austin Riley missed
(09:15):
a bunch of time as well. Those are the name
band players. The secondary guys didn't get it done. But
Max Freed was supposedly a headline type guy. You've heard
of him. He had that massive performance in the World
Series against the cheating a Holes a couple of years back,
and he had zippo zero on the mount. Now final point.
Many of you have asked my thoughts on the upcoming
(09:38):
National League Divisional Series Western Edition, Western Edition, Western, the
Mississippi the Pod Squad. They head up I five now
for a matchup with shohe Oh, Tony the gambling Man,
and the Doyers. The top seed in all of Major
League Baseball. The Dodgers here in the Nation League Divisional
Series that begins on Saturday Saturdariday Saturday evening at Chavez Ravine.
(10:04):
So who's got the edge? Question, who's got the edge?
Dodgers and Podrey's matchup in the Nation League Divisional Series.
So you might think, well, I've been down on the Dodgers.
I am down on the Dodgers, but they'll still win
this They're gonna win this series. The Dodgers will win
this series, all the way across the board, and no excuses.
(10:26):
I don't want to hear about the tattered pitching staff
and all that. You look at who the Dodgers are
sending out to the mound in the first couple of games.
They should win both those games. Best of five series,
best of five series. You got Yoshinobu Yamamoto, the star
from Japan, still waiting for him to be a star
in America, but he was a big deal in Jape.
He got paid a bunch of money, bamboozle a bunch
(10:48):
of money out of the Dodgers to miss most of
the year. So Yamamoto's on the mound. And then Jack
Flaherty also in those first two games, some combination of
Jack Flaherty and Yamamoto for the Dodgers. After that, it
will mostly be a combination of relief pitchers and walker
Bueler Bueler Buehler. That guy blows. But playoff baseball right,
(11:11):
playoff baseball. Odd things happen to the playoffs. And the
thing that I've learned over the years because of the
ruination of Baseball Nation, and this is what happened the
starting pitching. While it's important, it's it's how those other
secondary actors, the spam filler players on your roster perform.
(11:34):
They're equally important. Sway baseball is designed, more now than ever.
For reference, last October, the starting pitchers in baseball were
on the mound for fifty two percent of all plate appearances.
So it was like a fifty two to forty eight
split between starter and relief pitcher. And all that matters,
(11:54):
as we know, is who performs well in the moment,
and I will be Benny Bright's. The Dodgers have better players,
they have better fans, they have a better ballpark, and
it's also time for Mookie Bets to start earning that
three hundred and sixty five million dollar contract. Again. Rookie
has played like an absolute dingle Berry the last couple
(12:16):
of years. I went back and looked the last two
years in the playoffs, Mookie Bets is batting eighty, which
is I think a highway somewhere in the Midwest hitting eighty. Okay,
how about Freddy Freeman blah blah, vanilla ice cream Freddy
Freeman in the playoffs? Two fifty batting average as a
Dodger in the playoffs. And then you have the great
(12:41):
mystery of it all, the Heela monster in the room show. Haltani.
Otani has been compared to Barry Bonds, the impact that
he has. We don't think he's doing steroids, but who knows,
but Barry Bonds often failed in October. We don't know
what Otani's going to do. He never had the stage,
(13:01):
never had the opportunity. Is he built for prime time?
And is he going to be able to elevate his
play in these moments where he will have opportunities? The Dodgers.
You assume we'll have chances with runners on and we'll
see how this goes here. But the Dodgers will beat
the Padres and they'll play in the Nation League Championship Series.
But we'll see what happens starting on Saturday Saturday Saturday Saturday.
(13:23):
If you want to comment on any of that, you
can join us now line open and also speaksy rules
in effect, but on X at Ben Malor, that is
at Ben Malor if you want to be part. The

Speaker 1 (14:37):
Massole Mickey Wright. Since would you like to wager a
fifty dollars gift card to a chain restaurant of your
choice on the winner of the Padre Dodgers series. Well,
I believe that's an FCC violation, Masshole, Mickey Iedtle think
that's allowed, So I wish I could bet you. But
I'd love to take fifty bucks out of your pocket,
but I don't think I'm allowed to do that. Late
Night Drug Tester writes and says, the one take away
(15:00):
from the Brewers game is the Culver's ads on the
bullpen wall make me hungry. Yeah, Culver's is wonderful and
I'm lucky. I'm both cursed and lucky at the same
time that I don't live near a Culver's because if
I live near a Culvers, I would be eating at
(15:22):
Culver's quite a bit.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
And I never even heard of it.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
You've never heard of Culvers. You got to get out
of them. See the world here, it's wonderful Midwestern fast
food chain. Although they have places in Florida's it goes
all the way down to the South home of a Butterburger.
Is that right? They call it Butterberger. They have cheese curds,
they have Oh, I mean, it's just a full menu.
It's it's like the I call it the in and
out of the Midwest.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Yummy.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
It's great, just so. And that's the only reason I
visit my brother in Wisconsin is because I can eat
at Culvers. There's one right down the street from his house.
There's beautiful culvers right there. First one I read it
up by the way Kenosha, the Kenosha Culvers, which is
on the other side of the highway from the Cheese Castle.
See the cheese Castle. When you're in Kenosha, you gotta
go to the cheese Castle because that's that's a legendary spot.
(16:08):
But then it made of cheese. You'll have to go
and find out. But then on the other side of
the road covers. I could live in that little like
little stretch of land there, I could live. I would
be perfect.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
Just never leave.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Yeah, they've got custard. You like custard. They have live custard. Yeah,
just wonderful. I should just open a Culver's franchise. How
much does it cost? I don't think I have that
kind of money. I should just open be amazing. So anyway,
it is the Ben Mallord Show. Let's say hello, Let's
go to the phones. We'll say hello to Eeny meenie
(16:42):
miney mo oh boy. Let's say hello to Kevin, who's
representing the entire state of Florida.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
Hello, Kevin, Hey Ben, you know I gotta I gotta
use of words of a guy FM and AM album
which I in the seventies I memorized George Carlin Top
of the Stack. You are taking the back cream of
the crop number one and moving higher all the time,
(17:11):
as you say at the beginning of your show, and
the Nadine live throughout the universe of the audio sports world.
It's Ben and his group over there on the West coast.
Hopefully you don't blow off the edge there into the ocean.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
But Kevin Culver, Culver, my.
Speaker 5 (17:32):
Brother works at Culvert.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Yes, can you hook me up? Can you hook me up?
You know a guy out? Kevin knows a guy he
can hook me up. He knows a.
Speaker 5 (17:43):
Guy manager in Evansville, Indiana, got one down the street
from where I live.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Now you're just bragging. See now you're bragging. Now you
can go get that custard or the cheese curves whenever
you want.
Speaker 5 (17:56):
He said he had to get out of the car,
even that we were already talking for hour and a half.
Last week, he gets off at eleven my time, ten
o'clock his time. He's in a Central Standard and he
had he had custard. He said, oh, it's melting. I
got to get out of Carpertena and my wife. So anyway,
I got to tell you this real quickly. I told Cooperloop. Yeah,
(18:16):
I've got a little list. I know you got like
forty or fifty of your own, But I made these
up one night about a year ago. Okay, you are
the Senator of sarcasm, the Lieutenant of ludicrosity, the commander
in chief of comedic and creative commentary, the herbinger of
hoot Nanny, the budgman of the obvious, the rambunctious rabbi.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Oh can you give me some music, Lorrena? I need
some music for music, give me the mood. Come on,
please keep going.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
To Shopton the Sultan of Shenanigans, the gatekeeper of grabastication,
and the mayor of monkey business.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
That was amazing.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
There's more.
Speaker 5 (19:03):
Yeah, yeah, well, if you want me to repeat.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
The person, no, no, no, no. I like that center of sarcasm,
though I might have to add that, as you know,
I have the most nicknames of anyone in all the
one minute. Colin Cowhard doesn't wishes he had the amount
of nicknames that I have here. And you know what's.
Speaker 5 (19:24):
Funny about the last comment. I didn't even get hurt
when the Braves went down in frames because I'm amazed
that they even made it by the skin of their
teeth into the playoffs and played like five games in
four days.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
You know, Yeah, you've come to peace with the Braves losing.
Speaker 5 (19:43):
Yeah, but no excuses, right.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Well exactly I would. There are people to the media
making excuses of the Braves, but I'm like, no, they
the guys they won the World Series without a kudo
a couple of years ago, and the other guys that's
the guy's name, I forget his name. The outfield that
there was the MVP of the N'LLC look like looks
like Pete Rose out there for the Braves and the
I forget his name, but uh, he's actually back on
the team. But yeah, I mean guys secondary guys perform
(20:09):
in the playoffs.
Speaker 5 (20:10):
And you mean Michael Harris, Michael Harrison.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
No, no, it wasn't Michael Harris.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
Oh the other guy who is?
Speaker 1 (20:17):
That's what he's known as the other guy who Yeah,
he was.
Speaker 5 (20:20):
He was with the no Iglacias.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
No, not a Glaciers. All right, fine. Eddie Rosario is
the guy's name, Eddie.
Speaker 5 (20:29):
Rosary or at church or something.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Yes, they call his nickname is Rosary Rosary, Rosary beads
is his nickname?
Speaker 5 (20:36):
Yes, yes, exactly, Yeah, yeah, and I have one wearing
my neck all the time. So anyway, all right.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
All right, there you go. There's a there's a guy Kevin.
What do I do? I win something on that? No,
I don't win anything. Yeah, all right, jack Eddie Rosario,
I was there. I witnessed it back when the dog
just allowed me to go to the games and ban
me like they do now. But Eddie Rosario in the
(21:04):
twenty twenty one Nationally Championship Series was insane. I think
he batted like like five hundred or something like that.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
It was.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
It was like a ridiculous, ridiculous performance. Anyway, it is
the Ben Malor Show. Let's say hello to Texas Jack.
Who is next? Hello Texas Jack.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Good morning evening, whatever it is, mister Maler, how are you?
Speaker 1 (21:32):
If I was any better, I'd be an Astroe, but
not a Houston Astro because they are eliminated. They're done.
They're done. Take them out of the oven. They're done.
Speaker 5 (21:46):
Oh that's why I'm calling, isn't it glorious?
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Oh it's so good. Oh, I was smiling so much,
little pep in my step. Oh, it's so wonderful to
see them. They lose, and seven straight home games. They've
lost in the playoffs, seven straight home game games.
Speaker 5 (22:02):
Oh and by the managers that they got beat by,
that's even better, more delicious.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Well, I don't like that part of it, but I'll
put up with it. He los hells, Yeah, more likely
than not.
Speaker 5 (22:15):
And how great is except for against other teeters?
Speaker 1 (22:19):
How great is it the American League Central? All these
teams beat up on the White Sox, and now three
of the four teams left standing are from the American
League Central.
Speaker 5 (22:28):
That's greatness.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Yeah, just beat up I have one team. The key
is to have one team that absolutely blows in your
division and you can get you can ridiculous win total
against that team.
Speaker 5 (22:39):
Yeah, you can pad your record.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Well, look at the National League. The National League East
had the Marlins, who stink out loud, right horrible team.
The Nationally West had the Rockies. So there you go, boom, done,
all right and you're done. Oh there's more, but wait,
there's more.
Speaker 5 (22:58):
Wait do you think SODA's for real?
Speaker 1 (23:03):
And no? Whether Yeah, the defense is for real. I'm
not sold on Sam Donald. I just can't. I know
it's me, it's not. I mean, he's very talented. I
know that I saw him in college. He was great
in college. I don't believe when it matters most, you
can trust Sam Donald. That's my problem.
Speaker 5 (23:21):
Yeah, yeah, I'm thinking the same thing.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
But now they can win. I mean we saw I
saw Jared Goff get to a super Bowl with the Rams,
and I don't think he's very good.
Speaker 5 (23:29):
As long as he drives the boss and doesn't go
into the ditch, they'll be fine.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
I'm worried this weekend in London he's gonna see ghosts
again because they're playing the Jets.
Speaker 5 (23:38):
That's going to be a low scoring game in London
they usually are anyway.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Yeah, I'm getting ready for the TV show and I
saw some of the trends. Not that that matters what
happens this year, but the favorites in London have a
ridiculous winning percentage against the spread. And but yeah, it
should be a low scoring The Jets have a good defense,
the Vikings have a good defense, and either off I
have a better offense than the Jets. But do I
(24:03):
trust Sam Darnold? Probably know so, No game though. You
don't want to get up that early Texas Jack on
Sunday due that's an early.
Speaker 5 (24:12):
Anyway.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
Okay, Well if you're on the road, then yeah, you
might want to put a couple bucks down. All right,
I gotta go, all right, go away, thank you. All right,
it is the Ben Mathershow. We had the rhythmic chanting
that took place in San Diego. Boy, they love the
Dodgers in San Diego. Beat la, beat la, beat la
(24:35):
as the chant raining down from the upper balcony there
at Petco Park, which is an issue good looking ballpark.
As the Padres advanced, the number one concern of the
San Diego Padre fan was to chant beat l a
and uh yeah, good luck. Who is the first town
to use the beat la chant? Do we know where
(24:57):
that started? Was it Boston Celtic, the Philadelphia? Aw think
of Celtics. You assume the Celtics, But I've heard different
versions of that. I'll have to do a little research
on that.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Be sure to catch live editions of the Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
All right, Ben Malor Show rolls on, and I found
the origin of beat la. The bt la chant did
not start at a Laker Celtic game, did not. According
to a minutes long Mallor investigation, it began in nineteen
eighty two. Boston was playing the Philadelphia seventy six ers
(25:33):
Eastern Conference Finals.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
You mean the Lakers?
Speaker 1 (25:36):
No, Boston, How would they play in the Eastern Conference finals?
Speaker 3 (25:39):
Why would they chant beat la between the game between
the cities.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
But if you give me a chance to speak, I'll
say it makes no such I did.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
I'm already discounting your research.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
All right, So the Sixers were this is like the
Doctor j Sixers and all that they were ahead, they
were going to win at the end that would eliminate
the Celtics and Philly was going to the NBA Finals
where they're going to play Lakers, and so the fans
in Boston they decided the enemy is my friend now
and they started rhythmically chanting beat l A, beat l
(26:09):
A to encourage the Philadelphia basketball team to beat the Lakers.
So it was, but it was not against the Lakers.
It was against the Sixers. So I was I was right.
If you're not start, let's say I was right. Well,
you can say you're right all you want. You're wrong,
you're you're because it was a Sixer Celtic game. It
wasn't a game it was.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
I didn't.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
You said it was a Celtics it was. It wasn't
a Celtics Laker game. That's what you applied. You obviously
applied that absolutely just because of that. I'm not coming
in tomorrow. I'm not coming because of that, because of you,
I'm not coming in. I'm not coming in because of him.
I'm not coming in. And whatever's in the box here,
you're not getting, Okay, whatever's in the boxer punishment for
(26:54):
me being right, You're not right, You're completely wrong. It
was Philadelphia and Boston. It was not La it was
Bill and LPM boss was the Celtics.
Speaker 4 (27:01):
Which Billy and the Celtics were talking about the Lakers.
So really, if you think about it, it's it's practically that.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Is incorrect, intangibly wrong, and on all accounts, I am right.
I win, you lose, And the listeners right now are
shaking their head and discuss that you are so wrong. No,
no knowledge, bad job by you. Let's say hello to
the black irishman. Speaking of knowledge, we haven't heard from
him in a while. Where have you been, Black irishmen?
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Hey?
Speaker 5 (27:30):
First off, I got two notes for you.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
You got notes. Now I got a note for you.
I went out the other night. I went to the
store and I had my Creighton hat on and people
were like, wow, that's a good looking at where'd you
get it? I said, well, it's in my imagination because
the black Irishman never said it, but but they said
it looked good in my imagination.
Speaker 5 (27:55):
Your co workers, Eddie and your boy they answer the phone,
They cool.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
Yeah, it's my boy, Thank you boy, giant.
Speaker 4 (28:02):
Did you forget my name?
Speaker 5 (28:05):
He never told me?
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Yeah, he never told you. He's new here. Actually the
guy the phone, Schmendrick is his name. We call him schre,
We'll call him schm.
Speaker 4 (28:15):
I am highly insulted. You want to hang up on
I don't I know? I know who he is. He
didn't even tell me when I screened the phone go.
He didn't even say the Black Irishman. I just knew
it was the black Irishman.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
Did you are you denying? He said?
Speaker 4 (28:27):
He said, this is mister Sullivan, And I was like, oh,
it's the black Irish Are.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
You denying your nickname as a black Irishman? Are you
not embracing the black Irishman? Moniker? You came up with
that moniker?
Speaker 5 (28:38):
Y'all killing me?
Speaker 1 (28:40):
You deserve it?
Speaker 5 (28:42):
Hey, how about the Royals?
Speaker 1 (28:46):
That's this bad talk radio?
Speaker 5 (28:50):
That's not I got the notes? How about that one
passman Mahmes through the freaking uh exavier worthy? How about that?
And then you got what else?
Speaker 3 (28:59):
You got your note?
Speaker 1 (29:00):
How about you poke me in the eye? How about that?
All right? How about you poked my eyeballs out with
a ruler? How about that?
Speaker 5 (29:06):
I got your hat, miss now, I'm gonna send it
to you.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
That's a lot right after those little Debbie cakes.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
So scratch offs on, fly us all the Arkansas for
a meet and greet too. Yeah, all expenses played. And
who's that wrestler, guy Jimmy Hart is gonna be there
right the Heart Foundation.
Speaker 5 (29:24):
He'll be there the whole I think that's played before.
Y'all talk about the.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Take, so did I I was a kid, but take
the vikings.
Speaker 5 (29:31):
Man, think for real. I've seen the doctor play before.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Who's your favorite? Who's your favorite NFL team?
Speaker 5 (29:38):
The Chiefs, I want to tell you, man, Andy reed
and he bought back Kareem. Huh, I'm surprised.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
Why are you surprised they didn't have a running back?
Why would you be surprised by they want a running back?
He bought back, Kareem, Well, they didn't read abdul Jabbar,
and now we want time.
Speaker 5 (29:56):
We heeled back too until ty week. Man, he better
come back to k.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
All right, Tyreek, if you're listening, you probably had some
club in Miami right now. It's almost four in the
morning there, so uh yeah, come out to the Chiefs.
Go to the Chiefs there. I said it. Are you happy?
I said it? I said it, Thank you? Go away.
Speaker 4 (30:15):
Next time. I'm just writing. Guy who called on the phone.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Remember when he had that revelation. He said, I'm black
and I'm Irish, and it was like a big thing
for him. It was like combining of these worlds.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
You know.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
He had just loved it. So man alive. Alf the
Alioto Ponter says, be careful, malor As Poppy says, it's
a revenge game and Sam Donald's looking to exercise some ghosts. Yeah,
Gary says the Culver's mushroom swiss. I don't know about
the whole. I don't eat fungus. The mushroom thing, I
(30:50):
don't know about that. Yeah, I'll pass on that. Good
for you, Yeah, but not for me. That's not my thing.
Just the chief play the cheese curds, I'll take you
know all that. Yeah, checking, I don't know. Chicken, they
got good burgers, they're the butterburger. Tammy in Vegas says,
let's have a meet and greet at Culvers. Yes, I'm
(31:12):
all for it. Then they should sponsor it and we'd
just give him free advertising. Slim Tim says, I'm very
close to two culvers. But I hate to tell you, Ben,
but the cheese castles a giant tourist trap. Stay away,
get a life, you get a get a real job,
and he says, just for fibbs visiting our lovely state. Well, yeah,
I know, so, I know. I know it's a tourist trap,
(31:33):
but I was a tourist, so that's why I went there.
Late night drug tester says, the nearest Culvers to Los
Angeles is in Bullhead City, Arizona.
Speaker 5 (31:40):
I wish you could just shut your big yapper.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Let me tell you something. I'm such a loser. In
twenty twenty five, I'm gonna go on a road trip
to Phoenix because in twenty twenty five there's gonna be
a BUCkies in Phoenix in Goodyear, Arizona, and then I'm
gonna go over to Bullhead City the Culvers. How far
is that Arizona? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (32:00):
From here, yeah, five hours, A.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
Little longer, a little longer. There's nothing there by the way,
on the road between LA to Phoenix, once you get
past Palm Springs, there is literally nothing. And here's a
fun fact, though, what are for a fun fact? There's
an independent malord fun fact. There's a Native American reservation
Indian reservation out in the Arizona. I think it's in California,
but it might be in Arizona. But either way, they've
(32:25):
got their own time zone. About that, their own time zone.
That's interesting. They're owned, They're in their own time. You
know you've arrived when you're on your own time. And anyway,
it is the Ben Maler Show. Time Now for the
install trivia. Blank leads all NFL receivers in average yards
(32:45):
of separation with four point seven yards of separation per
route run. That is the insta trivia the answer, and
we'll get to Mallard of the third degree. We'll do
it all, and we will do it next.

Speaker 1 (33:33):
Time now for the Insta Trivia and we'll have Mallard
of the thirty three coming up Instant Trivia time. Blank
leads all receivers in average yards of separation with four
point seven yards of separation per route run in the NFL.
That is the question. I just said it. What is
(33:54):
the answer? Alf the Alieno Pinter says it's Malard meet
and Greek guest of honor. Jimmy Hart the Mouth of
the South. Late Night Drug tester says it's Culver's cheese
curd mascot Curtis is the answer. Nico Collins from E
in Roseville, Minnesota. Craig Colver guests by King Rory Paige down.
Who else do we have? Juwan Jennings from Jay Dot
(34:17):
in Utah. I can't read that on the air. We'll
skip over that one. Darnell Mooney from Robbie the Falcon Fan.
Who else do we have? Page down? Mookie Bets from
Terry in England, and we've got Pete Rose from Sports Plus.
(34:37):
I guess that was his answer to Leiner to Shields
tossed out by Rob in Minnesota. Who else we have
page down? The one legged Bama man was guessed by
someone who else? Do we have DK metcalf from Johnny
Q Steve Largent tossed out by the k C Carl Haller.
(35:00):
His answer, Mickey in State forty eight says there is
a culvers in tenpiece, So I guess I'll have to go. Yes,
I did actually eat a culver last time I was
in Arizona. It was my cousin lives there A couple
of years ago. I went to a Culver's. All right, Eddie,
do you have an answer again? Blank leads all NFL
receivers and average yards of separation with four point seven
(35:21):
yards of separation per route or root one.
Speaker 3 (35:27):
I'm gonna go with Steeler's legend. George Pickens, Great George Pickens?
Is that correct?
Speaker 1 (35:32):
No about Jordan Whittington wide receiver for the Rams. You
can ram it all day, you can ram it all night.
Well you don't know the Rams. Bad job by you.
Speaker 4 (35:44):
Here we go.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
It's Mallard. This is one big fan gets grailled improval.
Speaker 4 (35:55):
So Ben, you already said that you think the Titans
should be sticking with Mason Rudolph if they care about winning.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (36:00):
It doesn't seem like they're going to do that.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
It's a great take. Yeah, I love my take.
Speaker 4 (36:04):
Do you think the Colts should stick with Joe Flacco?
Speaker 1 (36:07):
I would rather If I'm a Colts fan, I would
rather see Joe Flacco out there because the defense and
the special teams, you can win enough to get into
the playoffs with that combination. And we've seen Joe Flacco,
who's not very good, play elite football in the playoffs,
not last year, but in years past. So yeah, I
would go that way. I mean, it's not really much
(36:28):
of Anthony Richardson is the thirty second ranked quarterback. The
only quarterback worse is Bryce Young. Next.
Speaker 4 (36:34):
Patrick Mahomes is the favorite to win MVP after four weeks.
Josh Allen isn't too far behind. But I think it's
safe to say that neither of these guys have been
mind blowing to start the season. And are there any
long odds dark horses that you like for the award?
Speaker 1 (36:47):
Well, I met Mahomes is the easy one because with
all these injuries, he'll get extra credit. I don't trust
Sam Donald, as I mentioned CJ. Stroud not playing as
well as he did last year. I would keep an
eye on Jayden Daniels. This thing seems real to me.
I would keep an eye on him with Washington because
he's he's the hot the hot guy, and you always
love the hot guy. You told me that. Al Right,
(37:08):
what's next?
Speaker 5 (37:10):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (37:10):
The Lamar Jackson Derek Henry pairing looks like it's starting
to click, as the Ravens have won two in a
row and Henry has rushed for over three hundred and
fifty yards in the last two weeks.
Speaker 1 (37:18):
Ben are they the best two and two team in
the league? Well, they're the team that everyone's buzzing about. Right.
There's a bunch of teams to and too, but Henry
that win. They absolutely ran over as the Stampede against
the Buffalo Bills. They're the How about the top regular
season two and two team that you don't trust? They're
better than the Falcons and the Saints and then the
Cowboys and teams like that, But you still don't trust
(37:39):
them in the playoffs because Lamar Jackson malfunctions in the plus.
But yeah, you asked me if you're in the regular season, sure,
I'll agree with that. There it is, Mallard the third degree?
How did we know you failed? This edition? That does
a win. I won the game, thank you very much.
Speaker 2 (37:53):
That is they win.
Speaker 1 (37:54):
My Jayden Daniels take. I won, thank you. It's a win.
Hello and welcome. It's our nam Bird two behind the
powerful microphones of FSR, saved for posterity's sake the National
League side of the wild card bracket. Who gets the
finger of blame for the Metropolitans blowing this lead in Milwaukee.
(00:22):
There will be a deciding game later today, on this
third of October, that will decide who advances to play Philadelphia.
So who's got more pressure in Game three? The Mets
or the Brewers will discuss that and who has the
edge between the Dodgers and Padres San Diego eliminating the
(00:42):
Atlanta Braves. Will also take a look at those Atlanta
Braves and the story of the twenty twenty four Braves
as well. All that coming your way right now. It's
our number two, a strange brew. Welcome in the beginning
of another hour, It's the Ben Mal Show. We are
(01:02):
in the air everywhere on the River of life, as
it's a game, and it's game on all night long,
coast to coast, border to border and beyond on the
vast and unreasonably powerful microphones of FSRE am monating live
(01:22):
from the machine, just a cog in the audio machine,
we're broadcasting live well tyrack dot com Studios tyract dot

free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand

(01:45):
be an Aviva los VICKI a fan of that. So
our lead this hour will stick to baseball. We talked
about the al side of the bracket in a previous hour.
If you miss that, the podcast will be up shortly
after we get done and you can down that and
hear all the fun of that hour. But our lead
this hour is from the other half of the bracket
(02:07):
in Wisconsin and the dramatic moment of the day, and
one of them, there was one in Houston, but the
other one was in the National League bracket, and that
would be involving the New York match looking to close
out the Brewers and advance onto Philadelphia as two of
the most annoying fan bases could dooke it out playdate
(02:29):
with the Phillies on the line. Mets win, they advance,
Mets lose, they have to play an elimination game later
on on Thursday. So how did that go? Well? Jackson
Churio said, you know what I'd like to play another game.
He tied the game in the eighth inning with his
second homer of the night, and someone named Garrett Mitchell.
(02:50):
Don't know who that is, but Garrett Mitchell had a
two run shot later in that same eighth inning. A
dramatic plot twist. As now the Brewers end up winning
five to three over the New Yorkers, and that means
that everything's even up best of three, one to one
(03:11):
Wildcard round. The teams will play decisive Game three on
this night to night Thursday night here in Wisconsin, and
I believe it will go head to head with the
NFL Thursday Night game. So we'll see what happens with that.
Will anyone be watching the baseball be trying to flip
back and forth? But the brew crew, I'm going to
(03:32):
try to become the first team to rally and win
this best of three Wildcard series after losing the opener.
Major League Baseball went to this format just a few
years ago in twenty twenty two, and the Brewers can
be the first team that has been able to come back.
All the games being played in Wisconsin. So let us
discuss the question who gets the finger of blame for
(03:58):
the New York mets a lead late. So I've got
the Duke presidential and spam and we will combine all
of these things together and we are going to make
a pencil, a number two pencil with a nice eraser on.
(04:20):
That's what we're gonna make. So number yeah. So this
one is easy. There's one person that gets to wear
the dunce cap. You point the finger at that one person,
the finger of blame, and that would be a relief pitcher,
a journeyman vagabond relief pitcher named Phil Maydan. He was
on the mound there, the former cheating astro. He's bounced
(04:44):
all over the place around baseball Cleveland, Tampa Bay. But
he did play on the A holes when they were
in the World Series a couple of years ago. But
here's looking at you, kid. Okay, this guy came in there,
and Phil Maton came in there, and he was the Duke,
the Duke of Puke on the mound as all over
his uniform. Now we had to call her last hour
from this lunatic from New Jersey who now lives in Florida,
(05:07):
who's like, oh, you should just use a different picture
of every evening. Of course, that's great if no one
has food poisoning, has a bad breakfast, and everyone's in
a good frame of mind and all that. But it's
the age old problem we have in baseball that no
one has machismo anymore. It's a conga line of relief pitchers,
one after another. Everyone does it, you know, everyone's doing it.
(05:30):
All it takes is one guy to not be feeling
it right. The algorithms are off a little bit for
that particular guy, and all of a sudden you have
what happened? Things go haywire. Good news for Milwaukee, bad
news for the New York Metropolitans, who are now in
an elimination situation right now. So who's got more pressure?
(05:54):
Game five Thursday, Wisconsin, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Who's got more pressure?
The Mets or the Brewers. So, after eight minutes long
review of this particular matchup, the scales are squarely pointing
to the Metropolitans and it's not even close. Right. The
Mets people don't realize this because they think the Dodgers
(06:17):
had the highest payroll, and ever, the Dodgers deferred a
bunch of money, so technically the New York Metropolitans had
the highest payroll in baseball three hundred and seventeen million dollars.
They're also the number one media market, led by hedge
fund Robert Baron Steve Cohen. The Brewers, on the other hand,
are twenty first in the money game if you're into
(06:40):
such things here, and they're just happy that their cheese
curds are hot and they're playing with house money once
they lost that first game, even though the games are
in their home ballpark, they're playing with house money. So
the Mets here they have the curse of the tight
took syndrome, and the pressure's on them going into an
elimination elimination game. And usually the team that scores first
(07:05):
in an elimination game, the other team starts panicking, they
get that flop sweat and it's on like Donkey Kong.
They're gonna need a defibrillator. And we'll see if that's
the case in this game. Now page two here too.
Suddenly Ago we go the other half of the National
League wild Card bracket, and that is where Manny Machutto
had a two run double and Jackson Merrill, he's a rookie,
(07:27):
he also had a two run triple, five run rally
against Max Freed or Fried as he looked at the
end of the year for the Bravos. There and all
of that, with not one but two outs in the
second inning, and good afternoon, good evening, and good night
for Atlanta. The Padres hold on by the skin on
(07:49):
their chinny chin chin. They sweep the Brave five to
four the final in Game two of the National League
Wildcard Round. So bye bye. So what is the story?
We know the better stories in Atlanta, But what is
the story for the twenty twenty four Braves. Here where
we at on the twenty twenty four Braves, Well, this
(08:11):
one's not that hard, Atlanta. I'm not giving them a
pass on my score card. The guys that were the
backups who got them into the playoffs, they malfunction. They
did not get it done here. They failed. The secondary
players failed. But Max Freed is not a secondary player.
(08:32):
It's the other flotsam and jetsam on the Atlanta Braves
that were not good enough. Now that said, overall, the
baseball world will give out. Well I'm not giving it out.
The baseball world will give the Atlanta Braves a presidential pardon,
a federal pardon. And here's why. If you look back
to opening day in late March early April, the Atlanta
Braves ten players on the field, the nine players the
(08:54):
eight position players plus the pitcher, plus the DH. Six
of the ten on the opening day lineup for the
Braves this year missed at least two months and some
of them are out now. Chris Saale not on the
playoff roster. He out, he's gone, Ronald Acuda Junior missing
most of the year, Spencer Streider out, Austin Riley missed
(09:15):
a bunch of time as well. Those are the name
band players. The secondary guys didn't get it done. But
Max Freed was supposedly a headline type guy. You've heard
of him. He had that massive performance in the World
Series against the cheating a Holes a couple of years back,
and he had zippo zero on the mount. Now final point.
Many of you have asked my thoughts on the upcoming
(09:38):
National League Divisional Series Western Edition, Western Edition, Western, the
Mississippi the Pod Squad. They head up I five now
for a matchup with shohe Oh, Tony the gambling Man,
and the Doyers. The top seed in all of Major
League Baseball. The Dodgers here in the Nation League Divisional
Series that begins on Saturday Saturdariday Saturday evening at Chavez Ravine.
(10:04):
So who's got the edge? Question, who's got the edge?
Dodgers and Podrey's matchup in the Nation League Divisional Series.
So you might think, well, I've been down on the Dodgers.
I am down on the Dodgers, but they'll still win
this They're gonna win this series. The Dodgers will win
this series, all the way across the board, and no excuses.
(10:26):
I don't want to hear about the tattered pitching staff
and all that. You look at who the Dodgers are
sending out to the mound in the first couple of games.
They should win both those games. Best of five series,
best of five series. You got Yoshinobu Yamamoto, the star
from Japan, still waiting for him to be a star
in America, but he was a big deal in Jape.
He got paid a bunch of money, bamboozle a bunch
(10:48):
of money out of the Dodgers to miss most of
the year. So Yamamoto's on the mound. And then Jack
Flaherty also in those first two games, some combination of
Jack Flaherty and Yamamoto for the Dodgers. After that, it
will mostly be a combination of relief pitchers and walker
Bueler Bueler Buehler. That guy blows. But playoff baseball right,
(11:11):
playoff baseball. Odd things happen to the playoffs. And the
thing that I've learned over the years because of the
ruination of Baseball Nation, and this is what happened the
starting pitching. While it's important, it's it's how those other
secondary actors, the spam filler players on your roster perform.
(11:34):
They're equally important. Sway baseball is designed, more now than ever.
For reference, last October, the starting pitchers in baseball were
on the mound for fifty two percent of all plate appearances.
So it was like a fifty two to forty eight
split between starter and relief pitcher. And all that matters,
(11:54):
as we know, is who performs well in the moment,
and I will be Benny Bright's. The Dodgers have better players,
they have better fans, they have a better ballpark, and
it's also time for Mookie Bets to start earning that
three hundred and sixty five million dollar contract. Again. Rookie
has played like an absolute dingle Berry the last couple
(12:16):
of years. I went back and looked the last two
years in the playoffs, Mookie Bets is batting eighty, which
is I think a highway somewhere in the Midwest hitting eighty. Okay,
how about Freddy Freeman blah blah, vanilla ice cream Freddy
Freeman in the playoffs? Two fifty batting average as a
Dodger in the playoffs. And then you have the great
(12:41):
mystery of it all, the Heela monster in the room show. Haltani.
Otani has been compared to Barry Bonds, the impact that
he has. We don't think he's doing steroids, but who knows,
but Barry Bonds often failed in October. We don't know
what Otani's going to do. He never had the stage,
(13:01):
never had the opportunity. Is he built for prime time?
And is he going to be able to elevate his
play in these moments where he will have opportunities? The Dodgers.
You assume we'll have chances with runners on and we'll
see how this goes here. But the Dodgers will beat
the Padres and they'll play in the Nation League Championship Series.
But we'll see what happens starting on Saturday Saturday Saturday Saturday.
(13:23):
If you want to comment on any of that, you
can join us now line open and also speaksy rules
in effect, but on X at Ben Malor, that is
at Ben Malor if you want to be part. The
rhythmic chanting has begun. The rhythmic chanting has begun. What
is that all about? We'll get to it and we'll

do it next.

Speaker 1 (14:37):
Massole Mickey Wright. Since would you like to wager a
fifty dollars gift card to a chain restaurant of your
choice on the winner of the Padre Dodgers series. Well,
I believe that's an FCC violation, Masshole, Mickey Iedtle think
that's allowed, So I wish I could bet you. But
I'd love to take fifty bucks out of your pocket,
but I don't think I'm allowed to do that. Late
Night Drug Tester writes and says, the one take away
(15:00):
from the Brewers game is the Culver's ads on the
bullpen wall make me hungry. Yeah, Culver's is wonderful and
I'm lucky. I'm both cursed and lucky at the same
time that I don't live near a Culver's because if
I live near a Culvers, I would be eating at
(15:22):
Culver's quite a bit.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
And I never even heard of it.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
You've never heard of Culvers. You got to get out
of them. See the world here, it's wonderful Midwestern fast
food chain. Although they have places in Florida's it goes
all the way down to the South home of a Butterburger.
Is that right? They call it Butterberger. They have cheese curds,
they have Oh, I mean, it's just a full menu.
It's it's like the I call it the in and
out of the Midwest.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Yummy.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
It's great, just so. And that's the only reason I
visit my brother in Wisconsin is because I can eat
at Culvers. There's one right down the street from his house.
There's beautiful culvers right there. First one I read it
up by the way Kenosha, the Kenosha Culvers, which is
on the other side of the highway from the Cheese Castle.
See the cheese Castle. When you're in Kenosha, you gotta
go to the cheese Castle because that's that's a legendary spot.
(16:08):
But then it made of cheese. You'll have to go
and find out. But then on the other side of
the road covers. I could live in that little like
little stretch of land there, I could live. I would
be perfect.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
Just never leave.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Yeah, they've got custard. You like custard. They have live custard. Yeah,
just wonderful. I should just open a Culver's franchise. How
much does it cost? I don't think I have that
kind of money. I should just open be amazing. So anyway,
it is the Ben Mallord Show. Let's say hello, Let's
go to the phones. We'll say hello to Eeny meenie
(16:42):
miney mo oh boy. Let's say hello to Kevin, who's
representing the entire state of Florida.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
Hello, Kevin, Hey Ben, you know I gotta I gotta
use of words of a guy FM and AM album
which I in the seventies I memorized George Carlin Top
of the Stack. You are taking the back cream of
the crop number one and moving higher all the time,
(17:11):
as you say at the beginning of your show, and
the Nadine live throughout the universe of the audio sports world.
It's Ben and his group over there on the West coast.
Hopefully you don't blow off the edge there into the ocean.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
But Kevin Culver, Culver, my.
Speaker 5 (17:32):
Brother works at Culvert.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Yes, can you hook me up? Can you hook me up?
You know a guy out? Kevin knows a guy he
can hook me up. He knows a.
Speaker 5 (17:43):
Guy manager in Evansville, Indiana, got one down the street
from where I live.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Now you're just bragging. See now you're bragging. Now you
can go get that custard or the cheese curves whenever
you want.
Speaker 5 (17:56):
He said he had to get out of the car,
even that we were already talking for hour and a half.
Last week, he gets off at eleven my time, ten
o'clock his time. He's in a Central Standard and he
had he had custard. He said, oh, it's melting. I
got to get out of Carpertena and my wife. So anyway,
I got to tell you this real quickly. I told Cooperloop. Yeah,
(18:16):
I've got a little list. I know you got like
forty or fifty of your own, But I made these
up one night about a year ago. Okay, you are
the Senator of sarcasm, the Lieutenant of ludicrosity, the commander
in chief of comedic and creative commentary, the herbinger of
hoot Nanny, the budgman of the obvious, the rambunctious rabbi.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Oh can you give me some music, Lorrena? I need
some music for music, give me the mood. Come on,
please keep going.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
To Shopton the Sultan of Shenanigans, the gatekeeper of grabastication,
and the mayor of monkey business.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
That was amazing.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
There's more.
Speaker 5 (19:03):
Yeah, yeah, well, if you want me to repeat.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
The person, no, no, no, no. I like that center of sarcasm,
though I might have to add that, as you know,
I have the most nicknames of anyone in all the
one minute. Colin Cowhard doesn't wishes he had the amount
of nicknames that I have here. And you know what's.
Speaker 5 (19:24):
Funny about the last comment. I didn't even get hurt
when the Braves went down in frames because I'm amazed
that they even made it by the skin of their
teeth into the playoffs and played like five games in
four days.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
You know, Yeah, you've come to peace with the Braves losing.
Speaker 5 (19:43):
Yeah, but no excuses, right.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Well exactly I would. There are people to the media
making excuses of the Braves, but I'm like, no, they
the guys they won the World Series without a kudo
a couple of years ago, and the other guys that's
the guy's name, I forget his name. The outfield that
there was the MVP of the N'LLC look like looks
like Pete Rose out there for the Braves and the
I forget his name, but uh, he's actually back on
the team. But yeah, I mean guys secondary guys perform
(20:09):
in the playoffs.
Speaker 5 (20:10):
And you mean Michael Harris, Michael Harrison.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
No, no, it wasn't Michael Harris.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
Oh the other guy who is?
Speaker 1 (20:17):
That's what he's known as the other guy who Yeah,
he was.
Speaker 5 (20:20):
He was with the no Iglacias.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
No, not a Glaciers. All right, fine. Eddie Rosario is
the guy's name, Eddie.
Speaker 5 (20:29):
Rosary or at church or something.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Yes, they call his nickname is Rosary Rosary, Rosary beads
is his nickname?
Speaker 5 (20:36):
Yes, yes, exactly, Yeah, yeah, and I have one wearing
my neck all the time. So anyway, all right.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
All right, there you go. There's a there's a guy Kevin.
What do I do? I win something on that? No,
I don't win anything. Yeah, all right, jack Eddie Rosario,
I was there. I witnessed it back when the dog
just allowed me to go to the games and ban
me like they do now. But Eddie Rosario in the
(21:04):
twenty twenty one Nationally Championship Series was insane. I think
he batted like like five hundred or something like that.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
It was.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
It was like a ridiculous, ridiculous performance. Anyway, it is
the Ben Malor Show. Let's say hello to Texas Jack.
Who is next? Hello Texas Jack.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Good morning evening, whatever it is, mister Maler, how are you?
Speaker 1 (21:32):
If I was any better, I'd be an Astroe, but
not a Houston Astro because they are eliminated. They're done.
They're done. Take them out of the oven. They're done.
Speaker 5 (21:46):
Oh that's why I'm calling, isn't it glorious?
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Oh it's so good. Oh, I was smiling so much,
little pep in my step. Oh, it's so wonderful to
see them. They lose, and seven straight home games. They've
lost in the playoffs, seven straight home game games.
Speaker 5 (22:02):
Oh and by the managers that they got beat by,
that's even better, more delicious.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Well, I don't like that part of it, but I'll
put up with it. He los hells, Yeah, more likely
than not.
Speaker 5 (22:15):
And how great is except for against other teeters?
Speaker 1 (22:19):
How great is it the American League Central? All these
teams beat up on the White Sox, and now three
of the four teams left standing are from the American
League Central.
Speaker 5 (22:28):
That's greatness.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Yeah, just beat up I have one team. The key
is to have one team that absolutely blows in your
division and you can get you can ridiculous win total
against that team.
Speaker 5 (22:39):
Yeah, you can pad your record.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Well, look at the National League. The National League East
had the Marlins, who stink out loud, right horrible team.
The Nationally West had the Rockies. So there you go, boom, done,
all right and you're done. Oh there's more, but wait,
there's more.
Speaker 5 (22:58):
Wait do you think SODA's for real?
Speaker 1 (23:03):
And no? Whether Yeah, the defense is for real. I'm
not sold on Sam Donald. I just can't. I know
it's me, it's not. I mean, he's very talented. I
know that I saw him in college. He was great
in college. I don't believe when it matters most, you
can trust Sam Donald. That's my problem.
Speaker 5 (23:21):
Yeah, yeah, I'm thinking the same thing.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
But now they can win. I mean we saw I
saw Jared Goff get to a super Bowl with the Rams,
and I don't think he's very good.
Speaker 5 (23:29):
As long as he drives the boss and doesn't go
into the ditch, they'll be fine.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
I'm worried this weekend in London he's gonna see ghosts
again because they're playing the Jets.
Speaker 5 (23:38):
That's going to be a low scoring game in London
they usually are anyway.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Yeah, I'm getting ready for the TV show and I
saw some of the trends. Not that that matters what
happens this year, but the favorites in London have a
ridiculous winning percentage against the spread. And but yeah, it
should be a low scoring The Jets have a good defense,
the Vikings have a good defense, and either off I
have a better offense than the Jets. But do I
(24:03):
trust Sam Darnold? Probably know so, No game though. You
don't want to get up that early Texas Jack on
Sunday due that's an early.
Speaker 5 (24:12):
Anyway.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
Okay, Well if you're on the road, then yeah, you
might want to put a couple bucks down. All right,
I gotta go, all right, go away, thank you. All right,
it is the Ben Mathershow. We had the rhythmic chanting
that took place in San Diego. Boy, they love the
Dodgers in San Diego. Beat la, beat la, beat la
(24:35):
as the chant raining down from the upper balcony there
at Petco Park, which is an issue good looking ballpark.
As the Padres advanced, the number one concern of the
San Diego Padre fan was to chant beat l a
and uh yeah, good luck. Who is the first town
to use the beat la chant? Do we know where
(24:57):
that started? Was it Boston Celtic, the Philadelphia? Aw think
of Celtics. You assume the Celtics, But I've heard different
versions of that. I'll have to do a little research
on that.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Be sure to catch live editions of the Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
All right, Ben Malor Show rolls on, and I found
the origin of beat la. The bt la chant did
not start at a Laker Celtic game, did not. According
to a minutes long Mallor investigation, it began in nineteen
eighty two. Boston was playing the Philadelphia seventy six ers
(25:33):
Eastern Conference Finals.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
You mean the Lakers?
Speaker 1 (25:36):
No, Boston, How would they play in the Eastern Conference finals?
Speaker 3 (25:39):
Why would they chant beat la between the game between
the cities.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
But if you give me a chance to speak, I'll
say it makes no such I did.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
I'm already discounting your research.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
All right, So the Sixers were this is like the
Doctor j Sixers and all that they were ahead, they
were going to win at the end that would eliminate
the Celtics and Philly was going to the NBA Finals
where they're going to play Lakers, and so the fans
in Boston they decided the enemy is my friend now
and they started rhythmically chanting beat l A, beat l
(26:09):
A to encourage the Philadelphia basketball team to beat the Lakers.
So it was, but it was not against the Lakers.
It was against the Sixers. So I was I was right.
If you're not start, let's say I was right. Well,
you can say you're right all you want. You're wrong,
you're you're because it was a Sixer Celtic game. It
wasn't a game it was.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
I didn't.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
You said it was a Celtics it was. It wasn't
a Celtics Laker game. That's what you applied. You obviously
applied that absolutely just because of that. I'm not coming
in tomorrow. I'm not coming because of that, because of you,
I'm not coming in. I'm not coming in because of him.
I'm not coming in. And whatever's in the box here,
you're not getting, Okay, whatever's in the boxer punishment for
(26:54):
me being right, You're not right, You're completely wrong. It
was Philadelphia and Boston. It was not La it was
Bill and LPM boss was the Celtics.
Speaker 4 (27:01):
Which Billy and the Celtics were talking about the Lakers.
So really, if you think about it, it's it's practically that.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Is incorrect, intangibly wrong, and on all accounts, I am right.
I win, you lose, And the listeners right now are
shaking their head and discuss that you are so wrong. No,
no knowledge, bad job by you. Let's say hello to
the black irishman. Speaking of knowledge, we haven't heard from
him in a while. Where have you been, Black irishmen?
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Hey?
Speaker 5 (27:30):
First off, I got two notes for you.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
You got notes. Now I got a note for you.
I went out the other night. I went to the
store and I had my Creighton hat on and people
were like, wow, that's a good looking at where'd you
get it? I said, well, it's in my imagination because
the black Irishman never said it, but but they said
it looked good in my imagination.
Speaker 5 (27:55):
Your co workers, Eddie and your boy they answer the phone,
They cool.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
Yeah, it's my boy, Thank you boy, giant.
Speaker 4 (28:02):
Did you forget my name?
Speaker 5 (28:05):
He never told me?
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Yeah, he never told you. He's new here. Actually the
guy the phone, Schmendrick is his name. We call him schre,
We'll call him schm.
Speaker 4 (28:15):
I am highly insulted. You want to hang up on
I don't I know? I know who he is. He
didn't even tell me when I screened the phone go.
He didn't even say the Black Irishman. I just knew
it was the black Irishman.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
Did you are you denying? He said?
Speaker 4 (28:27):
He said, this is mister Sullivan, And I was like, oh,
it's the black Irish Are.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
You denying your nickname as a black Irishman? Are you
not embracing the black Irishman? Moniker? You came up with
that moniker?
Speaker 5 (28:38):
Y'all killing me?
Speaker 1 (28:40):
You deserve it?
Speaker 5 (28:42):
Hey, how about the Royals?
Speaker 1 (28:46):
That's this bad talk radio?
Speaker 5 (28:50):
That's not I got the notes? How about that one
passman Mahmes through the freaking uh exavier worthy? How about that?
And then you got what else?
Speaker 3 (28:59):
You got your note?
Speaker 1 (29:00):
How about you poke me in the eye? How about that?
All right? How about you poked my eyeballs out with
a ruler? How about that?
Speaker 5 (29:06):
I got your hat, miss now, I'm gonna send it
to you.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
That's a lot right after those little Debbie cakes.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
So scratch offs on, fly us all the Arkansas for
a meet and greet too. Yeah, all expenses played. And
who's that wrestler, guy Jimmy Hart is gonna be there
right the Heart Foundation.
Speaker 5 (29:24):
He'll be there the whole I think that's played before.
Y'all talk about the.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Take, so did I I was a kid, but take
the vikings.
Speaker 5 (29:31):
Man, think for real. I've seen the doctor play before.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Who's your favorite? Who's your favorite NFL team?
Speaker 5 (29:38):
The Chiefs, I want to tell you, man, Andy reed
and he bought back Kareem. Huh, I'm surprised.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
Why are you surprised they didn't have a running back?
Why would you be surprised by they want a running back?
He bought back, Kareem, Well, they didn't read abdul Jabbar,
and now we want time.
Speaker 5 (29:56):
We heeled back too until ty week. Man, he better
come back to k.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
All right, Tyreek, if you're listening, you probably had some
club in Miami right now. It's almost four in the
morning there, so uh yeah, come out to the Chiefs.
Go to the Chiefs there. I said it. Are you happy?
I said it? I said it, Thank you? Go away.
Speaker 4 (30:15):
Next time. I'm just writing. Guy who called on the phone.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Remember when he had that revelation. He said, I'm black
and I'm Irish, and it was like a big thing
for him. It was like combining of these worlds.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
You know.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
He had just loved it. So man alive. Alf the
Alioto Ponter says, be careful, malor As Poppy says, it's
a revenge game and Sam Donald's looking to exercise some ghosts. Yeah,
Gary says the Culver's mushroom swiss. I don't know about
the whole. I don't eat fungus. The mushroom thing, I
(30:50):
don't know about that. Yeah, I'll pass on that. Good
for you, Yeah, but not for me. That's not my thing.
Just the chief play the cheese curds, I'll take you
know all that. Yeah, checking, I don't know. Chicken, they
got good burgers, they're the butterburger. Tammy in Vegas says,
let's have a meet and greet at Culvers. Yes, I'm
(31:12):
all for it. Then they should sponsor it and we'd
just give him free advertising. Slim Tim says, I'm very
close to two culvers. But I hate to tell you, Ben,
but the cheese castles a giant tourist trap. Stay away,
get a life, you get a get a real job,
and he says, just for fibbs visiting our lovely state. Well, yeah,
I know, so, I know. I know it's a tourist trap,
(31:33):
but I was a tourist, so that's why I went there.
Late night drug tester says, the nearest Culvers to Los
Angeles is in Bullhead City, Arizona.
Speaker 5 (31:40):
I wish you could just shut your big yapper.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Let me tell you something. I'm such a loser. In
twenty twenty five, I'm gonna go on a road trip
to Phoenix because in twenty twenty five there's gonna be
a BUCkies in Phoenix in Goodyear, Arizona, and then I'm
gonna go over to Bullhead City the Culvers. How far
is that Arizona? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (32:00):
From here, yeah, five hours, A.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
Little longer, a little longer. There's nothing there by the way,
on the road between LA to Phoenix, once you get
past Palm Springs, there is literally nothing. And here's a
fun fact, though, what are for a fun fact? There's
an independent malord fun fact. There's a Native American reservation
Indian reservation out in the Arizona. I think it's in California,
but it might be in Arizona. But either way, they've
(32:25):
got their own time zone. About that, their own time zone.
That's interesting. They're owned, They're in their own time. You
know you've arrived when you're on your own time. And anyway,
it is the Ben Maler Show. Time Now for the
install trivia. Blank leads all NFL receivers in average yards
(32:45):
of separation with four point seven yards of separation per
route run. That is the insta trivia the answer, and
we'll get to Mallard of the third degree. We'll do
it all, and we will do it next.

Speaker 1 (33:33):
Time now for the Insta Trivia and we'll have Mallard
of the thirty three coming up Instant Trivia time. Blank
leads all receivers in average yards of separation with four
point seven yards of separation per route run in the NFL.
That is the question. I just said it. What is
(33:54):
the answer? Alf the Alieno Pinter says it's Malard meet
and Greek guest of honor. Jimmy Hart the Mouth of
the South. Late Night Drug tester says it's Culver's cheese
curd mascot Curtis is the answer. Nico Collins from E
in Roseville, Minnesota. Craig Colver guests by King Rory Paige down.
Who else do we have? Juwan Jennings from Jay Dot
(34:17):
in Utah. I can't read that on the air. We'll
skip over that one. Darnell Mooney from Robbie the Falcon Fan.
Who else do we have? Page down? Mookie Bets from
Terry in England, and we've got Pete Rose from Sports Plus.
(34:37):
I guess that was his answer to Leiner to Shields
tossed out by Rob in Minnesota. Who else we have
page down? The one legged Bama man was guessed by
someone who else? Do we have DK metcalf from Johnny
Q Steve Largent tossed out by the k C Carl Haller.
(35:00):
His answer, Mickey in State forty eight says there is
a culvers in tenpiece, So I guess I'll have to go. Yes,
I did actually eat a culver last time I was
in Arizona. It was my cousin lives there A couple
of years ago. I went to a Culver's. All right, Eddie,
do you have an answer again? Blank leads all NFL
receivers and average yards of separation with four point seven
(35:21):
yards of separation per route or root one.
Speaker 3 (35:27):
I'm gonna go with Steeler's legend. George Pickens, Great George Pickens?
Is that correct?
Speaker 1 (35:32):
No about Jordan Whittington wide receiver for the Rams. You
can ram it all day, you can ram it all night.
Well you don't know the Rams. Bad job by you.
Speaker 4 (35:44):
Here we go.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
It's Mallard. This is one big fan gets grailled improval.
Speaker 4 (35:55):
So Ben, you already said that you think the Titans
should be sticking with Mason Rudolph if they care about winning.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (36:00):
It doesn't seem like they're going to do that.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
It's a great take. Yeah, I love my take.
Speaker 4 (36:04):
Do you think the Colts should stick with Joe Flacco?
Speaker 1 (36:07):
I would rather If I'm a Colts fan, I would
rather see Joe Flacco out there because the defense and
the special teams, you can win enough to get into
the playoffs with that combination. And we've seen Joe Flacco,
who's not very good, play elite football in the playoffs,
not last year, but in years past. So yeah, I
would go that way. I mean, it's not really much
(36:28):
of Anthony Richardson is the thirty second ranked quarterback. The
only quarterback worse is Bryce Young. Next.
Speaker 4 (36:34):
Patrick Mahomes is the favorite to win MVP after four weeks.
Josh Allen isn't too far behind. But I think it's
safe to say that neither of these guys have been
mind blowing to start the season. And are there any
long odds dark horses that you like for the award?
Speaker 1 (36:47):
Well, I met Mahomes is the easy one because with
all these injuries, he'll get extra credit. I don't trust
Sam Donald, as I mentioned CJ. Stroud not playing as
well as he did last year. I would keep an
eye on Jayden Daniels. This thing seems real to me.
I would keep an eye on him with Washington because
he's he's the hot the hot guy, and you always
love the hot guy. You told me that. Al Right,
(37:08):
what's next?
Speaker 5 (37:10):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (37:10):
The Lamar Jackson Derek Henry pairing looks like it's starting
to click, as the Ravens have won two in a
row and Henry has rushed for over three hundred and
fifty yards in the last two weeks.
Speaker 1 (37:18):
Ben are they the best two and two team in
the league? Well, they're the team that everyone's buzzing about. Right.
There's a bunch of teams to and too, but Henry
that win. They absolutely ran over as the Stampede against
the Buffalo Bills. They're the How about the top regular
season two and two team that you don't trust? They're
better than the Falcons and the Saints and then the
Cowboys and teams like that, But you still don't trust
(37:39):
them in the playoffs because Lamar Jackson malfunctions in the plus.
But yeah, you asked me if you're in the regular season, sure,
I'll agree with that. There it is, Mallard the third degree?
How did we know you failed? This edition? That does
a win. I won the game, thank you very much.
Speaker 2 (37:53):
That is they win.
Speaker 1 (37:54):
My Jayden Daniels take. I won, thank you. It's a win.
