at Harlem Globetrotters Dot come and we settle into the

(02:34):
hour here and we settle into it talking bays Mall
and we're going to start out in Toronto. I want
to thank the listeners who know what this show is
all about. I had several people send me the story.
Did you see the story? But you go to talk
about the story, you should talk about this is right
your wheelhouse. Okay, I'll talk about that right. So our
lead this hour is from Toronto. Oh god, that is

(02:58):
where George Springer went viral this week. Now, this was
during a loss to the Red Sox. He was on
the wrong end of a pair of bad calls, calls
that were incorrect and what did he do? Did you
hear what he said? Did you see it? Did you see?

Speaker 2 (03:14):
No?

Speaker 1 (03:15):
You didn't see this? You in here? Maybe not so
George Springer. We was huffing and puffing and he was
very upset. He was fuming about the calls, venting at
the Blue Jays manager John Schneider, and it was caught
on camera and The suggestion was that Major League Baseball
would like the New York Yankees to win the American

(03:36):
League Eastern Division. In a candid camera moment, candid microphone,
you had George Springer say to his manager, quote, if
they want New York to win, just tell me and
I'll give it to them already. Close quote from George Springer.
He said that to his manager. This according to several

(03:56):
Internet lip readers, led by someone named John Boy. Uh So,
the Bronx Bombers have since tied tied Toronto in the standings.
There's only a few games to go here. The baseball
regular season ends this weekend, and they're tied up. Toronto
has the tiebreakers, so technically the Blue Jays are still

(04:16):
in the lead. They'd have to win out, and if
the Yankees went out and the Blue Jays went out,
Toronto would win the American League East. But that's not
the story. That's not the story here. The story is
the quote. If they this is from George Springer, if
they want New York to win, just tell me and
we'll give it to them already. All right, So let
us discuss the question. Blue Jay's outfielder George Springer thinking

(04:39):
the Yankees are being assisted, They are being aided. They
have a guardian angel at Major League Baseball headquarters. What
is the word for this? What is the word for this?
So I've got my view on this. I've got Bernie
made off Beck and Dungeon and we will combine all
of these things together and try not to get in

(04:59):
festi because we are going to enjoy. The baba ganoosh
is what we're going to enjoy. So, first of all,
the word I will use the word for George Springer
implying there is some kind of fix here. The word
is hutzpa. That is my word. It's hutzba, capital C hutzba.
The gall of it all, the gall of it all.

(05:20):
George Springer, one of the poster boys, the three horsemen
of the baseball Apocalypse back in the day, the biggest
cheating scandal in modern American sport. And George Springer is
out there in front talking about Major League Baseball conspiring.
This guy was the twenty seventeen Astros World Series MVP

(05:44):
while they were cheating. Garbage canned banger George Springer. The buzzer,
Hey up, check them for the buzzer. The buzzer on
the chest crew. We'll call him the buzzer on the
chest crew. And now George Springer in Canada is pointing
the finger at games being rigged. Now that is extra

(06:05):
rish rich, don't you think. Not the rich who works
here at Fox Sports rad but that is extra rich.
It's kind of like Bernie made off if he weren't dead.
Bernie made off lecturing you about Wall Street and about
Ponzi schemes. You gotta be joking, You gotta be kidding me.
Like Springer is still dripping with slime. He's got some.

(06:28):
He will forever be covered in that thick, gooey stank
from the cheating astros who it's so nice to see
them lose all these games and looks like they're gonna
miss the miss the postseason. And look, the umpires were bad.
The umpires were absolutely bad, no doubt about it. But
the strike zone was a joke, right, But to go there, though, again,

(06:51):
for George Springer to go there, you don't get to
be the guy who was bang bang on trash cans
and winning games crookedly because you're a bunch of frauds
and then turn around and accuse the sport of being
crooked like a cheater, never trusts anybody because they think
everybody is doing what they do. Projection one oh one,

(07:16):
projection one o one. All right now. Secondly, American League
Central free falling, free falling. We have a changing of
the guard question. What is the better story the Guardians
come back in the American League Central or the Detroit
Tigers implosion. So the better story is not Cleveland coming

(07:43):
back from the dead. It is not. It is the
Detroit baseball team turning into a pancake, and as flat
as could be, it is the implosion. It is the collapse.
It is the kabboom. That is the story. The Guardians winning.
For some people, that's a nice story, but come on,
you would not be possible without what has happened in Motown.

(08:09):
It would not be possible. The Tigers had the division
in the bag. They were drinking cocktails in the clubhouse.
They had it won. The division was on ice fourteen
games up in July. I believe the number was ten
games up in September. And here we are not even
the end of September. The season ends this weekend, and

(08:30):
they have managed to cough up the fur ball and
they've gagged it all the way. That is not just losing.
That is like fumbling your car keys into the Detroit River.
Gone bye bye, see you later. And this is even
a bigger choke too. When I was a young radio reporter,

(08:51):
I covered a team called the California Angels and it
was way back, like thirty years ago, and they had
a massive lead over this team called the Seattle Mariners,
and they then lost I think the number was twelve
out of thirteen or something like that. They give it
all back. But then they won a couple of games,
and they played a playoff game at the Kingdome, this

(09:12):
old stadium in Seattle, and this guy named Randy Johnson,
who I guess was pretty good, and they got absolutely
smoked in that game. But they had that division wrapped up.
But this is even worse than that with the Tigers
have done now. The saving grace is you've got these
fugazy wild cards and all that, so they could still
end up getting into the playoffs, which cheapens the event.
The true honor is to not get into the playoffs.

(09:34):
But the other part of this, which is fascinating for
me as a observer of baseball and someone that does
appreciate baseball. I don't like all the new rules and
all that nonsense. But the Guardians conceded and they're still
in first place. They gave up. They punted. It was
fourth down. They said, we're not going to go for it.

(09:55):
We'll go for it, run the touchbos We don't want
to run the touchbuts we give up now. They traded
guy named Shane Bieber, who granted is coming off like
multiple surgeries, but had been one of the cornerstones of
their pitching staff. They gave him away to Toronto. And
even deeper than that, they had Emmanuel Class who got

(10:15):
thrown on ice because he was apparently, according to investigation
which they're still going through, was throwing pitches for people
on the Daily Fantasy to make money. He was intentionally
throwing pitches out of the strike zone. There's a gambling probe.
And he's not the only one. There's another picture of
Luis Ortiz. I believes the other guy's name. So they've

(10:36):
got two pitchers, their closer and a starting pitcher who
are both out because they're in some gambling trouble. And
then you've got Shane Bieber who was traded. They essentially
waved the white flag, and yet here we are. Here
we are, so the arrow is pointing one way, straight
towards Detroit. This was supposed to be their time. They
looked so amazing in April and May, and they were

(10:58):
monster mashing the Detroit Tigers. They were wonderful and this
was it. And instead of it being their time, they've
cranked on the boom box in the locker room and
they're playing Beck's song in the clubhouse there because they're
a loser, baby, the Detroit Tigers. Now, the better story
is always in the losing locker room. It's always been
that way. Winning is nice, but failure, Failure is relatable,

(11:24):
Failure is heartbreak, it's universal. Triumph is borring, borring boy.
Tragedy is what connects people. Detroit fans for sports tragedy.
But Detroit fans will remember this twenty twenty five collapse
much more than Cleveland's comeback. And it's like they're stuck

(11:44):
in super glue right now. The Tiger's there. They can't move,
they can't inspire, they can't even pretend. And if this continues,
well you'd hate to see it, but a trap door
will open up. Under manager A. J. Hinge. He's going
to be sacrificed at the altar of bad baseball, and boydy,

(12:06):
I hate to see that. The old cheating astro. There's
a theme this hour, cheating asstro skipper A J. Hinch
who so arrogantly, so pathetically mocked the inquisitive reporters while
they were cheating, while the astros were cheating, so that
I don't understand why you guys are saying this. So

(12:26):
he deserves all that agony. This baseball team has been uninspired,
they have been disconnected. The Detroit Tigers, whatever word you
want to use, and what they need at this point.
If I'm aj Hinch and I want to keep my
job what I do and I don't know where you
get this. He's got to get a bus and you've
got to fill the bus up with slumpbusters, all right,
and just bring the slump busters in and maybe that'll work,

(12:48):
and you know, show up to the clubhouse and all that.
The Guardians comeback is going to get the documentary treatment,
you know, the mistake by the Lake no more and
all that. But the Tigers collapse, that's the Greek tragedy.
The Tigers collapse here, that's the you know that's where
they know. Where were you choked? You choked away a
fourteen game leader or whatever it was. Where were you

(13:09):
when that happened? That's the story. That's the story. I
think it was even bigger than fourteen games at one point.
I think it was like fifteen and a half. All right,
final thought to Seattle, we go home run derby cal Rally.
He did it number fifty nine and then number sixty,

(13:29):
sixty home runs for the Seattle Mariners. Somewhere, Ken Griffey Jr.
Is rolling over, So cal Raley sixty home runs as
he closes in on the all time American League home
run record, the non steroid home run record in baseball.
So the question, what is the craziest thing about this
Mariners slugger cal Raley's home run barrage? What is the

(13:54):
craziest thing about this? So the craziest thing is where's
the coverage? Where's the hysteria? You'd think this guy was
hitting them in a black hole somewhere cal Raleigh, It's
like he's doing this in solitary confinement. Now, this goes
back to a famous line by retired sportscaster and former
NFL coach Jimmy Johnson who famously said when the NFL

(14:15):
on Fox crew had to go to Seattle for the
NFC Championship game, he said, Seattle might as well be
southern Alaska. And this is more evidence like if this
were Aaron Judge who did cross over the Rubicon and
get to fifty home runs. But if this was Aaron
Judge who did get to sixty two a couple years back.
If Aaron Judge was doing this, if this were the Yankees,

(14:37):
then you'd have ESPN being, you know, doing countdown clocks.
The bottom line twenty four to seven around the clock,
breaking news updates on cal Raley, the Big Dumper. Every
time Aaron Judge would have sneezed during this period of time,
it would have been a story. If he wipes his tooks?
Did he wipe twice? Maybe all as you once? He

(14:58):
wiped once? Did he use his left hand to his
right hand? He uses his right hand? Will that effect
his swing? Maybe one hit a home run tonight? Let's
break it down further. Okay, what did he have for lunch?
He had some rice? Okay, well what does that mean?
He's get hit a home run? But he had chickens?
So that evens out the Rice cal Rawley's out here
hitting sixty home runs and nobody outside of the Pacific
Northwest is paying all that attention that I five corridor.

(15:18):
He's slugging like the bambino Babe Freakin' Ruth at this point.
But he's doing it in a dungeon. He's in a
dungeon and the buzz is lower than a Wednesday Mattinee
in April against the Athletics for the Mariners. Right, No Jews,
nothing there. And here's the kicker. The guy still might

(15:42):
not win the MVP. And here's why. Because the baseball elites,
the scribes love the New York Yankees. They love the Yankees.
They drooel over the pinstripes. They have wet dreams about
Yankee Stadium. And if Aaron Judge had sixty home runs
right now. We know this because he did a couple
years ago. But if Aaron Judge had sixty home runs
right now, you'd have like guys like Ken Rosenthal and

(16:04):
Jeff Passon doing live stand ups in front of Yankee Stadium,
giving a manny and a petty. I think Ken would
do the manny and then pass and would do the
petty and that's how they do it. But we get
the Mariners who are out there in I just said,
they're in the corner of the map and they're like, well,
it's the upper left hand corner of the map. This
historic though Roger Marris held the record for sixty one

(16:29):
years and Aaron Judge broke the record. I think that
was in twenty twenty two. I believe I think it
was twenty twenty two. And here's cal Rawley knocking on
the door. Knock, knock, who's there? The big dumper? Big dumper?
Who Big dumper number sixty two, And it's like a
tree falling in the forest. It's like a podcast that

(16:50):
you do in your basement with no listeners. That's the
craziest part of this to me, that's the craziest part
of this. It is the Ben Mahler Show. Your thoughts

of the day. Annoying YouTube punk Jake Paul. Jake Paul

Florida exhibition fight that nobody wants to watch. In my opinion,

(17:55):
that is the Mallard riddle of the day. Jake Paul,

the day. The answer, we'll get to it. We'll do

here we'll take some calls as well. But here's the
malor riddle of the day. That annoying YouTube punk Jake
Paul wore a blank to show off his wealth for

(20:42):
a Florida exhibition fight. So that is the question. What
is the answer? Let's see does anyone know the answer?
By the way that guy was complaining, he says, we
do ask Ben. It's just the same for people that
ask questions. Well, I don't know what to tell you.
Coops the one that picks the questions, and we'll try
to get a bigger variety of questions here. I guess
I don't know what you want me to do. If

(21:03):
you're upset by that, you can listen to the Fifth
Hour podcast. On Sundays, we do a mail bag and
I put people. This guy Reggie in Detroit emails me.
He didn't email last week, but he emails all the time,
and he doesn't get on this show very much. So
there's different ways you can go about it. Mister irrigation says,
the answer is a Mariner's hat again, Jake. The window
of the day is Jake. Paul wore a blank to

(21:24):
show off his wealth for a Florida exhibition fight that
he was promoting. Skid mark Undy's from Lady Sideburns. A
pretty sun dress that matches his pedicure from Bobby in Florida.
A replica of Randy Johnson's Big unit from Luke the
Vending Guy. Ferg Dog says, a shirt made of one cotton.

(21:47):
I cannot afford. That, cannot afford that. Who else do
we have? Page down? Kathy in Madison says that mister
Paul showed off his wealth by displaying his generic spacely
sprockets his spacely Sprockets burka from Alf the Alien Opiner. Yeah,
that's a problem, solid Ai a fig leaf from Eke

(22:11):
and Roseville, Minnesota. A toga from p Diddy It's from
Barbecuing Len who sent that? In Robin, Minnesota says he
wore a mini skirt. That that is the answer. Who
else do we have? Page down? Ug sandals from Donkeys
Sausage Jay Dot Our Buddy Jay Dot in Utah? Is

(22:33):
alive and well, he says. Jake paul wore a Ben
Mahler shirt. Good to hear from Jay Dott. Wow, had
a good time with him at the Mallard meet greet
in Vegas. Always a big part of the party. King
Rory says he wore a Wisconsin themed T shirt. That's
pretty nice there. What else we have? A money suit
he ordered off Timu. I've seen those on Timu, Pokemon

(22:55):
cards from Dante, a tube top guest by JT the Man.
What else do we have? Page down, a zoot suit
from monkey Biz Doug in South Korea. A diamond studded
cheating Astros jersey from Tom and kensas City. Now remember Tom.

(23:16):
You gotta keep listening because today's Thursday, and I go
on with Bob Fesco on his morning show every Thursday
at the same time every week. Lorraina, do you have
an answer, Loraina?

Speaker 6 (23:25):
Yes, Ben, I think he wore his Balencia shoes.

Speaker 1 (23:30):
Oh, some nice shoes.

Speaker 7 (23:32):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (23:32):
Is that correct? Let's see here. Unfortunately it's not not correct.
The correct answer. Jake paul A war a five point
five million dollar watch to the event to show off
his wealth. Then was bragging he was bragging that he

(23:55):
makes NFL quarterback money for a Florida exhibition fight against
someone named gr Vonta Davis. I have no idea who
that is. I probably should know who is that is,
but there you go. So there's Jake Paul and what
Jake Paul is doing, I've seen this playbook before. He
is being the instigator and he knows that that is

(24:17):
going to work for him, so he's going for it.
I'm just gonna go for it, and I'm going to
be the agitator and I'm gonna stir it up. And
because history has shown that in boxing, you know, in
wrestling's the same way, right, you're the pretty boy or
the heel, and he wants to be the heel because
people react more when they're inflamed and they're all upset, right,

(24:39):
and then I hate that guy. I'm gonna watch. I
want him to lose. Right, So, if you're a firebrand,
if you're a revolutionary radical in sports in boxing, then
and you hit those buttons and you're human dynamo, and
then people will tune in. That's the theory anyway that
people will watch to get see you get your face
bashed in. And so he's find it for both people.

(25:01):
Will it work? I have never paid for a Jake
Paul fight, and I don't even know if his next fight.
Some of these are on YouTube. Anyway. I've never spent
a dime, not a dime on Jake Paul. Have not
have not done it, have not done it anywa it
is the Ben Malor Show. Let's go to the phones. Uh,

(25:22):
people have been waiting. Let's say hello to Let's go
to Dick in Dayton. Hello, Dick, welcome.

Speaker 2 (25:29):
Good morning guys.

Speaker 1 (25:30):
How are you You're up early? Well, you're you should
be happy to know, Dick. We did find the photo
from the Talent Show and you went viral. The photo
went viral. You are a social media star.

Yeah, you look great on stage there they had the
nice sign behind you there and you had your your
outfit on you were you were really going for it.
Good job by you.

Speaker 2 (25:52):
Yeah, well, thank you for the uh for the tribute
to the Guardians. It's like a storybook. It's like a
dream midnute. They were so far back and then they
just stunned the world.

Speaker 1 (26:04):
And yeah, it's been crazy. Did you see the other day, Dick,
that they they had a three run rally against school
ball and they didn't get a ball out of the infield.
They didn't hit a ball out of the infield, and
they put up three runs.

Speaker 2 (26:18):
Pretty wild, pretty good Sunday. Last Sunday was something I
just got into the tail. When it was about three
minutes to go. I thought they'd lose, but boy, that
was an exciting game. That kicker they better keep. You know,
he was good? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (26:34):
Is he your favorite Cleveland Brown now?

Speaker 2 (26:35):
Because m and Miles Garrett we out the defense?

Speaker 1 (26:40):
Yeah, the defense is, the defense is legit. Now you
got the Lions this week the Great Lakes battle Royale.
There Lions and Browns. Are the Browns gonna win another one?

Speaker 2 (26:49):
I think the Browns might have a chance if the
defense plate did. I think that's going to go down
to the wire. It's going to be closer than you
think it is.

Speaker 1 (26:58):
I think you are defense. I've heard. I think you
taught me this defense travels well. Didn't you teach me
that defense travels well? You can take defense anywhere in football,
warm weather, cold weather, It travels well. It does. Now?
What in that photo from the Talent Show, really nice sign.
There's some you're sitting in a chair there, you've got

but like, where does like southern Florida is more like
the northeast, right, but then at what point does it
cross over from south like that? Because you're right where
you are is like the South. But then if you
go like I think, Orlando is kind of a gray area,
and then when you go below Orlando, it's not much there.

Speaker 1 (36:32):
There was a stripper from Houston that used to call
the show and pick NFL games when I first started here,
and she told me that the whole key to being
a stripper is the upcharge. That you you have the

favorite blanket?

Speaker 1 (37:13):
I do, well. I actually have a pretty good blanket
right now. I would say it's my favorite blanket. If
the blanket went into the twilight zone and left today,
I'd be okay, I'd get another blanket. But I do
like the blanket. I'm a blanket guy. I always need
the room cold, I need a blanket on top of
me or I don't sleep well. So I have a

(37:34):
good blanket. But it's not like I'm Linus from the
Peanuts or anything like that. What about you, Lorena?

Speaker 10 (37:40):
I absolutely love blankets. I love being warm.

Speaker 6 (37:43):
I have three on my bed right now, and my
favorite one is actually the one that Bobby and Florida
sent with the villains on it, because it is so
soft and it's.

pillow and I actually got it. I used to do
commercials for Sleep number years ago and they sent me
the pillow and I love it. I cannot find that pillow.

soft in the middle. What about you, Lorena?
