Speaker 1 (00:00):
Touchdown, it's our number one and oh what fun here
in hour one. Now, we were planning on The Ben
Malor Show to begin the festivities by yapping about the
World Series, but we were doing the show live. The
World Series was still going on during hour number one,
so we pivoted and we talked about the NFL Monday
(00:21):
Night football game. Week eight wrapped up with Washington and
Kansas City and a rather futred performance by the Commanders
in the second half of that game. They're playing backups
and they just didn't have much fight in the second half,
and people calling out the head coach there as they
looked terrible. So does Dan Quinn deserve the heat he's
(00:42):
getting for the Commander's performance or lack thereof in the
second half. Also thumbs up or thumbs down on Andy
Reid's Kansas City Chiefs. They're back in the catbird's seat
of the AFC. Now, technically they're barely in the playoffs. However,
the way they're playing right now, Kansas City is looking really,
really good and coach Brian Schottenheimer and Dallas promising change
(01:06):
after the blowout loss to the Broncos, saying that it
is not acceptable. So what changes can Shoddy make for
the Whoa Begone Dallas Cowboys. We'll talk about all that
and more. Right now, give it up to my little friend.
It's our number one. Well you remember when the Washington
(01:36):
Commanders were in the NFC Championship game. On the back,
those are the Dan Snyder Commanders. Welcome in the beginning
of another night of the Ben Mahler Show. We are
in the air everywhere as we cluster and hang out
(01:57):
in the corner store. We have more. So we have
more coast to coast, border to border and beyond on
the vast and prodigiously powerful microphones of fsr ammnating live
from the box as we get on our soapbox from
the world famous Fox Sports Radio Studios, as approved by Rick.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
In Maryland morning time.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
As we are together yet again here hanging out from
the Fox Sports Radio Studios. This portion of the Ben
mal Show made possible in part by our friends at
tire Rack. That's right, tire Rack. For over forty years,
tire Rack has been helping customers find the right tires
for how, what and where they drive. Ship fast and
free back by free road hazard protection with convenient installation
(02:46):
options like mobile tire installation tire rac dot com the
way tire buying should be. So we were giving a
curveball the plan. The show was put to bed and
we had the baby woke up. The baby was put
to bed, the baby woke up. So the Dodgers are
still We have live baseball, which is great because all
these people are bitching and could playing.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
I don't understand these games are going so long. I
don't get my God shut up. Welcome to my world,
you losers, Welcome to my world. So the Dodgers and
Blue Jays are tied at five. They've gone now that
I know, is that cheating.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
They pulled out the the sliced watermelon and pineapple.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
It looked like to me pineapple.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Theyre the Dodgers eating snacks in the dugout and they
are now going to the bottom of the sixteenth inning
at Travesarino, I want this game to end either in
the bottom of the sixteenth or the seventeenth, because I
was at the game that win eighteen innings, so I
don't want to see this game, this World Series game,
go more than eighteen because that would then cheapen the
(03:45):
game that I was at Red Sox and Doyers in
the World Series years ago, when Max Muntsey hit the
home run. The game ended one in the morning, right
around one in the morning. It was after midnight.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
I remember that. It was after midnight. So anyway, that
is what's going on right now.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
So we will we will, I'll watch that, but we
will be talking about something other than that right now,
because there is more to discuss and more to break down,
and so our lead story this hour from Arrowhead Stadium
in Cannes City. It was KC and the Sunshine Band,
and that is the lead the stage for the final
(04:19):
game of.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Week number eight.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Week number eight of the NFL eight one of the
absolute worst. By the way, the product could not have
been less enjoyable if you want competitive games. In fact,
going back to nineteen seventy, this was, if not the
largest marching it was in the top two or three
all time in the history of the NFL. I know
(04:44):
going into the Monday night game. It was in the discussion.
It depends on how you spin the stats. How Badnes was,
but a weekend of blowouts wrapped up with backup quarterback
as Marcus Mariota leading the hobbled comm into Kansas City
that played eight there with Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs.
(05:04):
You had Joe Buck and Troy Aikman on the call.
There were you watching?
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Did you watch? Were you engaged in this? And you
were not? Okay?
Speaker 1 (05:13):
So Patrick Mahomes, by his standards, struggled early in the game.
The first half was a bit of a dud all
the way around, a lot of turnovers, a lot of bad,
sloppy football. And then by the time the game had ended,
Mahomes we love round numbers. He was one yard away
from a nice, sexy three hundred yards passing at two
hundred and ninety nine yards, ended up with three touchdowns.
(05:35):
Kareem Hunt found Peydrt hit the end zone twice, and
the Chiefs defense in the second half it looked like
they wanted to get out of there. They being Washington
as Kansas City hog tied the Commanders in the final
thirty minutes of that football game. So Kansas City pulls
away and they win by three touchdowns twenty eight to seven.
(05:58):
I am told that's good playing the NFL. But I'm
told that's good on a nice cold October night, just
days away from Halloween. Now, the better story is in
the losing locker room. The better story is in the
losing locker room and the Commander fans very upset, very
upset with dan Quinn, a lot of range, a lot
(06:22):
of anger with the way the Commanders played in the
second half of that game, and a lot of the
conversation is not even so much about how bad the
Commanders looked in the second half. It's the apathetic appearance
of the players on the Washington football team, who were
so happy after they got their face smashed in by
(06:44):
the Chiefs and people up in arms over that, that
they were smiling and having a grand old time playing
grab ass at the end of the game there on
the sidelines. The postgame handshake was like a college party.
My god, were they having a good time? People have
said with that, and so that's a good jumping off point.
Let us discuss the question does dan Quinn deserve the
(07:07):
heat that he's getting in the cyber Warfare department for
the Commander's performance?
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Does he deserve some heat for that?
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Now my observations on this, I've got Brad pitt Child's
play and Circus Circus, and we will combine all of
these things together and we are going to get an
end to Game three of the World Series. That's going
to have We're gonna end Game three of the World Series.
But number one, to answer the question, does dan Quinn
(07:43):
deserve the crap that he's getting. I'm nodding my head, yes,
I'm nodding my head yes. On that now, dan Quinn's commanders.
I'm old enough to remember that they were in the
final four of the National Football League at the end
of last season, and here they are out there smiling.
They were to charity golf outing somewhere in Maryland, just
having a grand old time. They were out playing golf
(08:06):
with some politicians and.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Just let me have some lemonade? Is that spiked lemonade?
Speaker 1 (08:12):
They didn't act like they just got pants in the
second half by Kansas City, which is what happened on
National TV, by the way, in an Island game, although
not a full Island game, because I was flipping back
and my right hand was getting a workout. If I
had only known the Dodgers and Bluejays would play all night,
I wouldn't even bother to watch the first part of
the game. I just would have focused on the football game.
But I was going back and forth and all that,
(08:34):
so the Commanders end up on the wrong side, and
then all the shenanigans after the game there as Washington
did catch lightning in a bottle, and I caught lightning
in a bottle last year. That was supposed to be
the foundation. That's what I was told. The smart people said,
this is the foundation.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
This is it.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
The NFL's final four NFC Championship game in Philadelphia, win
away from getting the super Bowl, and right there.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
One win.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Now, let's see some inventory on where the Commanders are.
We're at a checkpoint week eight. Now I realized they
play seventeen games, so it's not quite the halfway point,
but nonetheless, for talk radio purposes, we will examine this
as the middling point of the NFL season. So where
is Washington one year after they were right on the
(09:24):
cusp of the top of the NFL. So they have
been come tumbling down, down, down, down.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Down, down, down, down, down, down down down.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
That's where they are right now. And so they have
gone from punching above their weight, which is what they
did last year. Now they have gone down to the
corner bakery and they've ordered a pie, not an apple,
not a pumpkin, not the banana cream pie. They've gone
to the corner bakery and the Commanders have ordered a
big humble pie and they're cutting up the humble pie
(09:53):
right now. Although they don't seem to be that worried
based on their postgame celebration. You want to give at
least the di exception that you actually care so. Defensively,
the Commanders currently are ranked twenty seventh in the NFL.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
I'm told that's not good the offense. How about the offense?
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Now? The Commander's offense here? Okay, this group, I know
Jadon Daniels has been hurt. Middle of the pack. There's
sixteenth in the NFL. Now I recall and maybe I'm
wrong on this. You can touch up my work if
you want. Cliff Kingsbury was the second coming of the
Messiah as the offensive genius for the Washington Commanders.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
It is amazing. How'd that go?
Speaker 4 (10:35):
Well?
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Don't ask this year. Now, here's the thing about the
Commanders watching this team plan. I saw him in person
a few weeks back against the Chargers and they actually
played well in that game. But the thing I look
at Washington is they're not bad enough the Commanders to
be a lovable train wreck. So they're not at that
(10:56):
point and they're not good enough to really matter, kind
of stuck in the Bermuda triangle of the NFL. They're
stuck in football purgatory at this point. And as far
as the I guess we'll call it, what is the heel?
A monster of the room here? Postgame? It was like
a country club. But is it always like I don't
like understand the rage. It's always like that at NFL games.
(11:19):
They love other NFL players and they cannot wait to
hug it out. It's warm and fuzzy at the end
of every NFL game, with few exceptions.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
With few exceptions. Now there are exceptions, but.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
You you'd think that the Washington football team was hosting
a nice brunch with sliced meats and sliced cheeses and
they hadn't just gotten their teeth kicked in in the
second half by the team from Kansas City. But if
you're dan Quinn, okay, if you're Dan Quinn, to me,
(11:52):
that's on you. You know, he's supposed to be a happy,
go lucky coach and all that. That's fine, but at
least give the illusion that you were slightly bob and
this is always the issue. Right, We who invest our
time as fans, we get emotionally attached. The players don't
get emotionally attached. It's their gig, it's their job. They
don't understand why you're so into it. Just chill out, man,
(12:15):
It's just a game. And so we want to go
on there and make out at the fifty yard line
after we just got are ass kicked. We're going to
do that. We are going to do that is what
we're going to do. Yes, So how bad was it
for the Washington commanders? Was so bad that dan Quinn
should hire Brad Pitt. Bring Brad Pitty in. Remember that
(12:37):
famous scene from Moneyball where he was portraying Billy Bean
and they were in the locker room and he said, hey,
you think losing is fun?
Speaker 2 (12:47):
You think losing is fun?
Speaker 1 (12:48):
And then the player on the athletics said, well no, okay,
Well if the answer is no, it's not fun, then
what the hell are you smiling for. By the way,
they played thirty minutes of football, they were tied at halftime.
The Washington football team, I believe at that point they
started warming up the diesel engines on the buses and
(13:09):
they wanted to make sure that the water in the
shower was warm as well. They had just sixty six
yards of offense in the second half, and if my
math is correct, I jotted this chicken scratch down four
first downs in the second half, which I'm told is
not good. They were big underdogs, double digit dogs. They
being Washington going into this game, they were expected to lose,
(13:31):
they were expected to be blown out. They actually had
the game in position at halftime to scratch and claw
and make it a fourth quarter game, to put the
pressure on Kansas City. And instead of doing that, well,
they did the opposite. They just got in the fetal position,
started sucking their thumb and that was it. Mahomes got going,
(13:54):
the defense started crushing people, and that was it. Game over.
Apps salute weak sauce, Absolute week sauce. Now on the
other side, page two. So we go now to the
Kansas City side of things, where things are buzzing. You
can almost hear it. There's a buzz in the air.
(14:18):
It's almost everywhere. Yes, So question, are you gonna go
thumbs up or are you gonna go thumbs down? Thumbs upper,
thumbs down on Andy Reid's Chiefs being back in the
catbird seat metaphorically in the AFC.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
All right, that is the question. So thumb to the moon,
way up.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
I'm going to the moon. Thumb way up to the moon.
Now this game, you don't get any style points. It
was a blowout win. It was close at halftime. This
was what I would call a workman like effort for
the Kansas City Chiefs. Here punch the clock. The old
I can't really say lunch pill because all these guys
are millionaires, but you get the point. Back in the
old days we'd say lunch type game. And all of
a sudden, all of a sudden, Patrick Mahomes looks like
(15:07):
the vintage Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Yet again he does.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
He's got his toys back at wide receiver, He's got
his playmakers back. I know Keg drinking. Steve's excited about that.
And so Mahomes is cooking with a flamethrower at this point.
So it turns out the reports of Mahomes and the
Chiefs demise, well, they were cute while they lasted greatly exaggerated.
Mahomes looked in the second half like he was taking
(15:34):
batting practice at five thirty and hitting those batting practice
fastballs out of the park. Washington had nothing in the
second half. Now, some of that was Mahomes. Some of
that was Mahomes and what he was doing with Kansas City.
They got off to the zero to two start. They
are now five and one, and the one loss in
there was the play that they quit against Jacksonville. Remember
(15:57):
the defense quit. They were caught on camera lollygagging, allowing
Trevor Lawrence to fall down twice and get up and
score a touchdown. So that's on them. So you could
make the argument there's a dimension in the multiverse where
they are six and zero and they're lurking in the
playoff picture like Michael Myers behind the curtain there. Now
(16:18):
nobody think about this, Nobody in the AFC. Nobody in
the AFC. You can say, well, Indianapolis a little bit,
but nobody in the AFC West has been able to
capitalize on that early faceplant. The Chargers won all these
divisional games earlier. Oh, right, there you go, this is
the Chargers year. Everything's great. They're set up now. Boom
boom boom, division win, division win, division win, They're ready
(16:39):
to go, and now we look like we look at
it right.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Now and yeah, faceplan.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
So the division led by the Chargers early and they
had a shot to bury Kansas City.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
They didn't do it.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
We all know that nobody in the AFC West took
advantage of it. As we said, so the division is
still up for grabs at this point and now Kansas City.
As of right now, the Chiefs are back in the
playoff picture. They are the last team in the wild
card around. They're the last team in the playoffs at
(17:13):
this point and still have a shot to be the
number one seed in the Also, the schedule sets up
nicely Kansas City. There is no momentum, so we know that. However,
they are playing with some confidence now they have up ahead.
If you look, you've got the Bills, Broncos, and Colts upcoming.
(17:33):
Is also buy mixed in and so those are massive
swing games both in the division and then just the
overall hierarchy in the AFC down the line. So Kansas City,
I'm trying to say, if you like horror movies, Kansas
City this season it's like that classic Child's Play.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Remember that movie. It's all movie.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Now, all my references are old, I guess, but Child's
Play and that was where Chucky was at the.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Beginning of the movie. There he was.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Burned, shot and dismembered, and somehow, because it's Hollywood, managed
to come back. Why not Kansas City to begin the
year was burn shot and dismembered. And they have come
back now and they're right in the middle of it
in the AFC and Mahomes is breathing like a dragon
with fire. Andy Reids is suddenly smart again, and we're
(18:22):
on our way. Of course, the conspiracy theorist will so well,
yeah but yeah, but yeah, but yeah about the NFL
wants someone to win because the Taylor swip.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Yeah but yeah but yeah it yeah it, yeah it,
yeah it, yeah it yeah it rabbit they yabbit rabbit
all right.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Now, final point to Dallas, we go bad football makes
for good talk radio.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
We love talking about the bad. We love it.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
We love it, we love it, we love it. So
humiliation situation in Dallas question coach Brian Schottenheimer, the sock
puppet coach of Jerry Jones football team, is promising change, change,
change this after the Denver bronc rubbed the Cowboys face
(19:03):
in their own poo poo in the game on Sunday,
dominating win as Schottenheimer says there's going to be change.
He also said it is not acceptable the way the
Dallas football team played. So question what changes can Shoty?
What changes can Shoty make for the Cowboys? That is
the question. So a Schottenheimer banging the podium, right, this
(19:27):
is the classic.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
I'm going to bang the podium is what I'm going to.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
Do, and say, changes coming, changes coming. Now, we've seen
this movie before.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
And spider light spiler alert.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Yes, we know how it ends. We know it ends.
Two weeks from now or three weeks from now. The
Cowboys will give up a fifty point game to somebody.
But change, change, change, Do I have the change? This
is pure window dressing. It's pure window dressing. It's paint
on a foundation, trying to sell the house before the
(20:02):
person buying the house realizes the foundation is cracked on
the house. So what's gonna change? You can't change the roster.
I know the trade deadline is coming up. You're not
gonna trade half the roster, which is seemingly what you're
going to have to do. Right, So the defense is
wobbly in Dallas. They're three four and one, they have
a losing record. Dak Prescott is putting up video game
(20:24):
numbers where the fantasy football players have their pants down.
They're so excited about that, and it doesn't mean a
damn thing. It does not mean a damn thing. It
does not And so it's kind of like putting lipstick
on a quarterback draw. And that's essentially what they're doing.
This is the most fun, most fun, fun bad NFL team.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
And now fun bad is important to me. That's important.
You just want to be bad.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
You want to be fun bad. Fun bad's a good
kind of bad. You can't just be bad bad, fun bad.
That's the way to go.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Dallas is like.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
The Circus Circus Midway in Vegas. And when you go
to the Circus Circus Midway in Vegas, it's a much
different experience when you're nine years old as opposed to
when you're fifty years old, it's much different experience. Right,
you go to the Circus Circus Midway in Vegas. They've
got flashing lights, there's a lot of noise, there's a
lot of activity, there's carnival games, there's chaos. Everyone seems
(21:23):
to be having a great time. But deep down in
your soul, you know it's kind of a dump. That's
the Dallas Cowboys, right. Everyone looks like they're having a
good time. They're having fun. There's a lot of flashing lights,
there's a lot of chaos and all that. But deep down,
you know, they blow. They absolutely blow. They score a
lot of points, they give up a lot of points,
(21:46):
and there's always a lot of drama, which is good
if you're a fledgling overnight talk show host like yours.
Truly so, Jerry Jones is sitting somewhere eating a big
mac and he's watching and he's seeing all the fireworks
and he's like, all.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Right, ave it, I am of it? All right?
Speaker 1 (22:04):
It is the Ben Mallor Show. The just did that monologue.
The Dodgers are still playing the Blue Man.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
I went along on that monologue too. Should we call
Marlin's man?
Speaker 4 (22:15):
I have.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
He's been texting me throughout the night. He's sitting right
behind home plate there and his orange. He's like, it's
where's Walda, where's Marlin Man? Yeah, that's my guy?
Speaker 5 (22:25):
How cool is that?
Speaker 2 (22:26):
He's right there. He's a fan of the show. He
goes to all the big events.
Speaker 5 (22:29):
Just looked at his phone right now to text you.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
He's always on his phone. No, no, he's always he's always
on his phone. But uh yeah, so maybe we'll call
him up and catch up with him. And should we
do ask a weed Man early? Should we counter program
the world too? I think that would get better ratings
Ask a weed Man than the World? So cool?
Speaker 2 (22:44):
What do you think here? Maybe break that in?
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Wait a minute, the Dodgers, you gotta runner on here,
a couple outs in the seventeenth thing. We're not allowed
to do play by play. So this is like a
ten minute delay that happened ten minutes ago. You know,
you know, you know, he's the most upset Steve Desager.
We got a lit updates again, baby, live updates help
Set's the company gonna they have to pay to Saga
(23:06):
to be here? Holy crap, they're not paying you live?
Oh wait, you actually have pride in your work? You
want to stay and do it? You don't wanna? And
you see, there are I'm not gonna name names here,
but there are some people, Steve who work here who
might say and the Dodger World series game was tied
at five at press time.
Speaker 6 (23:25):
So, in other words, they work for the La Times.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Yes, that's what newspapers do. It's so expensive to print newspapers.
They just whatever time the deadline is, that's it.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
That's all. We're not gonna the blue, just gonna walk
o tany a fifth time.
Speaker 6 (23:39):
You cannot possibly do this. There's a man on first.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Why a man? There are people they're gonna that's gonna
be the story from this game. To say, we'll get
into it later. You'll be gone by then.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Hopefully maybe not, you might be here all night. But
there you say. We got to get rid of that
intentional walk rule. It's not good for baseball.
Speaker 6 (23:55):
You're taking the I've had some good suggestions actually that
if you intentionally walk a guy the second time, he
gets two bases. Yeah, the third time.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Or yeah, that's a that's an idea that I was
kicking around in my head too.
Speaker 6 (24:05):
I think it's or that if it's extra innings, he
gets two bases instead of one.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (24:11):
By the way, I did read that a Monday night
football game you were talking about, Yes, even after a
flight delay home. Washington is halfway home from Kansas City,
and their game started after the baseball game.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Like I said, I was watching both and if I
had known this game was going to go along, so
they are pitching due a Tani.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
By the way, he's four for four four walks. Is
that right?
Speaker 6 (24:30):
For four straight intentional walks has never happened in a
postseason game. Hits never, No one's ever reached base eight
times in a playoff game before.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
You know who's also upset about this? Rob Parker, because
what's he gonna say? I can't rip all Tani? I mean,
what am I gonna.
Speaker 6 (24:42):
Do yet another Rob Parker take that is aged like
the cheese.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Here's the thing though, too, and you know we're going
along and that's okay, who cares?
Speaker 2 (24:51):
No, you know we're skipped the update. Yeah we're there's
no bottom of our update.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
But but no, the the the Blue Jays, if they
don't win this game. How many innings have they gone
against the Dodger bullpen, which is the kryptonite of the Dodgers.
Speaker 6 (25:03):
Nine shutout innings?
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Oh my god, that is put that on the Bengal corner.
I can't believe there's no chitting nine innings with those stiffs,
those dog with fleas.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Nine innings.
Speaker 6 (25:15):
They're literally on their innings. Last reliever Will Klein has
had to throw three innings and he has four striking.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
I bet your rob Manford comes back and says, well,
we must bring some pictures back. But they can't even
bring pictures back because you know, bunch pitchers.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Are out of the game.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
That's it, they said, because out of it a bundans
of caution, you can't bring them back.
Speaker 6 (25:33):
This is the last reliever Toronto has that they just
put in little and they have tomorrow night's starting pitcher
down in the pen. Shane Bieber justin with Justin Bieber
at the game. But I guess you could, oh Bieber
and Bieber. Bieber is a proud Canadian, just right. Yeah,
this Shane Bieber is from southern California, Okay, but I don't.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Think he's pulling for the Dodgers. I don't think that,
all right.
Speaker 6 (25:54):
So literally not tonight. And there are rumors of sideline
reporters saying that Yamamoto, through the translator, had a message
sent to Dave Roberts. So if the Dodgers run out
of pitchers, maybe they haven't run out of pictures.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Hmmm.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
Interesting. All right, Well we'll see.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
It'd be great if a game imagine how great if
the World Series comes down to like a position player
pitching yeah, kick out here.
Speaker 6 (26:18):
And end is fifty miles an hour. Here we go.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
All right, well, that'll definitely change some rules for sure.
The lad extra pitchures. All right, it is the Ben
Malo Show. The rain has told me if I do
not stop talking here, she will poke my eyeballs out

getting covered up on our LA affiliate.
Speaker 5 (28:01):
Oh no, they can't hear us.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
I guess we have freedom to say whatever we want. Whoo,

a Bronco fam The music.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Stops, we'll move on with the show.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
And the Dodgers and Blue Jays are tied at five
in the eighteenth inning, the eighteenth inning at Chavez Ravine
just down the road.
Speaker 5 (28:57):
They're old enough to move out now.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
Yeah, eighteen innings, Holy, holy crap, as it's still going
on and on and on, and is there gonna be
a replay review on this wonderful outstanding And the Dodgers
are out of pitchers, so they've got somebody warming up
in the bullpen who just pitched not long ago. And uh,
(29:19):
this is not part of the script. The Dodgers have
this all. Everyth game is scripted by the Dodgers. This
is definitely not part of the script. There might have
been like a supercomputer update or something like that. They
had to check with the algorithm for the Internet figure
things out. As the Yoshinobu Yamamoto is warming up in
the Dodger bullpen, so how many Dodgers have used how
(29:42):
many pitchers we had? Ten?
Speaker 2 (29:44):
Is it over ten? It's got to be over ten, right,
is it over ten? Eleven?
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Okay, that'd be over ten. Eleven is over ten. That's
where we where we are at this point. Now, I
mentioned the NFL. As we juggle, we are able to
spend a lot of plates here. It's called talk radio.
So the NFL card this week, and I usually go
with underdogs. I lean towards dogs. If you watch Benny
Versus the Penny on YouTube Benny Vspenny on YouTube, you
(30:10):
know that I got my lunch handed.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
To me this week. Well, not not the good, not
the good.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Yeah, that was not a great week for me at
all humiliating, But it was not a great week for
the NFL. This was the first week in the NFL
with only one game decided by single digits, and that
was the Jets come back when they were down by
two touchdowns in the game in Cincinnati and Bengals blew
the lead.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
Jets came back and won that game.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
So only one game decided by single digits, first time
since Week fourteen in the nineteen seventy nineteen seventy season.
My math tells me that's fifty five years ago, the
last time that something like this happened. So just uncompetitive
football over the place, all over the place. Scrooge in
(31:03):
the younger Demo in the Bay Area rights and he says,
I've watched every damn inning of this World Series game.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
And the next game is in a couple of hours.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Well, as the crow flies, it's relatively a short amount
of time.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
I'm sure the players will be okay, it'll be right.
Speaker 5 (31:24):
Is that the sun coming up already?
Speaker 2 (31:26):
Tomorrow? Tomorrow is another day. It's primetime in Tokyo.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
Didn't they put that graphic up on the Fox broadcast
that it's three like three something in the afternoon, three
thirty or something like that in the afternoon in Tokyo.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
So why not? And this game is likely going to
pass the game I was at, which I'm annoyed by.
Speaker 5 (31:42):
I'm up so cool they get a daytime game like that.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Man Steve de Seger's at the news desk here. It's
kind of cool to have an update, guy, I missed those.
We were both at that eighteen inning game twenty eighteen
World Series. You switch seats, as I recall. But by
the way, with Will Klein coming in for a fourth inning.
He still pitch your ten. I correct myself that Yamamoto
warming up in the pen Arty pitcher eleven.
Speaker 5 (32:05):
Because we wait, can I play your sounder, Steve? I
never get to play.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
Here we go, Steve, just say you hear the news desk,
we have alive. Question was asked me, Hey, let's get
an update World Series Game three. It's still going ended
about eight pm Eastern.
Speaker 6 (32:20):
We'll have World Series Game four on Tuesday nights, and
there's still a game five Wednesday in La.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
Really one thing that I did play. I haven't thrown
to an update in a year. I don't know how
to do this. I've lost my chops.
Speaker 5 (32:33):
With the babbler for the button.
Speaker 6 (32:35):
With the Dodgers hitting at least two to the wall,
it didn't go out, and so I like, we're still
playing the.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
Base running by the Dodgers. I like the both ways,
the yeah, defensive faux pause, you know outs at third,
little weird things.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
Uh well, Tommy Edmonds, I guess he's made up for it,
but absolutely bonehead play with.
Speaker 6 (32:55):
The bad ankle. He's now pushed into center field. Mookie
Bets also screwed something.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
I mean, there's already Freeman built out a couple of
Max Month's Eagles shake you at third base?
Speaker 6 (33:03):
Yeah, oh, plenty of these you could have. Well, this
is going to become a book. So is this the
first eight game World Series?
Speaker 1 (33:09):
Now? Because we're at eighteen innings? So I guess we
did have one where the game we were at so
that's a second? Well, yeah, it was five, that's right.
Speaker 6 (33:16):
Was that was the only game the Dodgers won the
Red Sox was Max Monthly homer in the eighteenth. That
was not nearly as exciting as this one has been.
By the way, for what.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
It's worth, are you saying this that was a lesser
game we attended? This is more exciting. That was back when.
Speaker 6 (33:31):
Baseball was a little bit more home run or strikeout.
Let's say this has had, as you just mentioned, between
the fielding and the base running and the hitting and
the not hitting, it's had something for everybody.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
I do like the runners left on base stat where
the blue are they pets? A World Series record? They
were at combine, they were at sixteen, seventeen seventeen though
eighteen for the Dodgers left on base.
Speaker 5 (33:53):
Keep it going, keep it going. Let's just keep nineteen twenty.
Speaker 6 (33:56):
Yeah, it is one of my many favorite stats. Is
what Chicago guy tweeted that. Here we had sho hey
o Tani tie the world Series record four extra base
hits in a game. He set a World Series record
with five walks in the game, both in the same game. Wow,
he's been on base nine times.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
But again the four intentional walks, right.
Speaker 6 (34:16):
Is correct. And then they just pitched around him last time.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
And the Dodgers have not scored. Both teams scored in
the seventh, right, so nobody's scored in the last ten.
I'm gonna jinx them, right, I'm about to jink some
I don't want to say, but they haven't scored since
in the eighteenth, and it's been since the seventh. And
there's always somebody that takes the takes the cake for suckage.
Who's the guy in this game? You mean like an
(34:40):
OH for six. I don't see any six months he's
OH for seven. Okay, that's he's the worst. I see
Tommy Edmond one for eight. That doesn't seem particularly And.
Speaker 6 (34:49):
George Springer may not be available for the rest of
the week, for all weeks.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
That would be a shame.
Speaker 6 (34:54):
The DH was booed the loudest pre gamet Houston the
buzzer checking with He was injured on a swing and
had to be replaced. So they've had three different guys
in the leadoff.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
Spots for the day.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
I could swing a bat, I'll get hurt, all right,
I could swing a bat, all right? Uh oh, hold
on sick? Now did the little check swing.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
In ball four? All four?
Speaker 4 (35:16):
Wow?
Speaker 6 (35:17):
Dodgers were walking off the field. They thought they had
strike three instead two outs. Top of the eighth is
now first and second for the Toronto Blue Jays. Okay,
holy plot thickings. The plot thick can't get any thicker.
This is tying. By the way, the postseason record the
longest game eighteen innings, better.
Speaker 5 (35:33):
Than a snicker.
Speaker 6 (35:34):
That game that you referenced early, it was seven hours,
twenty minutes Dodgers Red Sox Game three of the twenty
eighteen Right, and like.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
Was it one in the morning? Is I remember leaving
the stadium?
Speaker 6 (35:46):
Was? Yeah, I say it would be a similar five
o'clock Pacific start, So add seven hours and twenty minutes.
Speaker 2 (35:51):
They said there would be no math to say I
got a radio. If I was good at math, I
would have gotten.
Speaker 6 (35:55):
This is only six hours in something here because it
started at about five ten Pacific.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
Well, so I've only watched the last seven innings. What happened?
Speaker 1 (36:03):
What happened?
Speaker 2 (36:03):
Were you doing the rest of what happened to Boba? Shad?
Speaker 1 (36:07):
Does he he hasn't been playing full games just because
he had a bat off. So both second basement for
the Blue Jays got four bats and the game is
still going on.
Speaker 6 (36:17):
Yeah, oh boys, the game still better? Well maybe not
one of the When one of the infielders for the
Blue Jays fouled the ball off his leg in the
last few innings, immediately they said he has to stay in.
They literally don't have anybody else.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
They could play with eight guys. You know, No, what's
the name of the Blue Jays mascot?
Speaker 1 (36:35):
Do we know that?
Speaker 2 (36:35):
Do they have they have a mask?
Speaker 1 (36:36):
Them?
Speaker 2 (36:37):
They do? Guy? Yeah, I don't know what the name
of the mascot is.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
All right? Anyway, suner luck, I need to pause for
the causer, but I don't want to go in until
this half inning's over, so I'm trying to time it perfectly.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
Here is their mascot, Yeah, Ace is the blue Jays
maskt What a great name. Yeah, I don't know bout
that anyway. If you'd like to be.
Speaker 1 (36:53):
Part eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox, It's the
Ben Maler Show. We're here hanging out all night. The
World Series is still going on. Blue Jays have the
potential winning run at second base, the go ahead run
which could turn out to be the winning run there
at Dodger Stadium in the eighteenth inning. Couple outs and
I only get a runner at third, so they're set
(37:15):
up to possibly take the lead here in the eighteenth inning.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
All right, it is the Ben Mahlord Show. Time now
for the who am I? Game? You can answer this
on the X machine at Ben Mallard. It's the who
am I? Game?
Speaker 1 (37:29):
And here it is so Patrick mahomes three hundred and
eight career touchdown passes in the regular season after the
game on Monday night, and that includes the regular season
in the playoffs, and he is now tied with me
for the sixteenth most touchdown passes in the history the
all time history of the NFL.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
Who am I? That is the question? The answer? And
will we get the end to Game three of the
World Series. We'll get to all that and we will
do it next.
Speaker 4 (37:58):
Be sure to catch live edition. And so the Ben
Maller Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific,
it is all over.
Speaker 2 (38:05):
At Dodgers Stadium. Freddie Freeman in the Night the Dodgers.
The Dodgers have.
Speaker 1 (38:12):
Won Game three of the World Series in the eighteen
in All Night Affair ends. The Dodgers are up two
games to one in the Fall Classic. As Freddie Freeman
to dead center field in the eighteenth inning, he ends it,
and so the Dodgers now are two wins away from
(38:34):
becoming the first team since the Yankees, the Joe Tory
managed New York Yankees with Jeter and Paul O'Neil and
all those guys back if you're old enough to remember
the nineties, Dodgers trying to become the first team to
do that, and Freddy Freeman the first played with multiple
walk off hall runs in the history of the World Series,
according to the Fox graphics that they had on the
(38:56):
TV there. So it is the Ben Maler Show as
we are rolling, rolling, rolling through.
Speaker 2 (39:03):
The overnight, and we will certainly take some reaction.
Speaker 1 (39:08):
To that. Now, the real question is, as we continue
the show here is how long will we be covered
up because I know that we're on the Dodger flagship
in LA. The game ends, it's about midnight in LA.
So does that mean they go to like one in
the morning.
Speaker 2 (39:28):
Do they go to two in the morning like a
post show?
Speaker 1 (39:31):
Right, Well, they will have a postgame show, and I'm
sure none of our guys will call up and say,
where's the Ben Maler Show, because that would be wrong
to do that.
Speaker 2 (39:39):
You should not do this.
Speaker 1 (39:40):
You should not call up Dodger postgame talk and say
I want to hear the Ben Maler Show. You should
not do that at all. But Freddie Freeman, your world
serious hero, and somewhere Nasty Nester, somewhere Nasty Nestern Cortes
who was with the Potterys at the end of last year,
who served up that big fat meatball to Freddie Freeman
in Game number one of the World Series last year,
(40:03):
that classic home run against the Yankees at Chavez Ravine.
So here's another great Freddie Freeman moment. And somewhere in Atlanta,
Tommy in Atlanta is very upset, very angry. I gotta
pay off the who am I game, or else I'm
gonna get kicked in the in the nuts. So I'm
gonna do that right now. Here is the who am I?
Speaker 2 (40:19):
Game?
Speaker 1 (40:19):
So Patrick Maholmes had a big night, big second half.
He's got three hundred and eight career touchdown passes in
the regular season in the playoffs. That is tied with
me for sixteenth all time. Who am I? That is
the question? What is the answer? And let's see does
anyone know the answer? Page down here? I can't read that.
(40:41):
The A team gets by Alf the Alien Pinter, Matt Foley,
inspirational speaker from Milkman, Mike in Colorado, Barry Manilow from
Rob Billy, Joe Tolliver guests by Josh that's his answer.
Brad Paisley, who's fifty three today? From Late Night drug
tester By the way, the bus drivers, he's harassed. He's
blowing up my phone here Roberto and tell him to
(41:02):
go to bed. Dude, he's got a regular job. What's
wrong with him?
Speaker 2 (41:04):
Anyway? Laredo, Do you have an answer?
Speaker 5 (41:07):
Larada pa I gotta go with little Orphanane Ben the.
Speaker 2 (41:09):
Fine answer on a sports talk radio show. No, the
correct answer.
Speaker 1 (41:15):
Warren Moon, Warren Moon, So my Home's tide with more
Moon Houston oiler legend love me blue
Touchdown, it's our number one and oh what fun here
in hour one. Now, we were planning on The Ben
Malor Show to begin the festivities by yapping about the
World Series, but we were doing the show live. The
World Series was still going on during hour number one,
so we pivoted and we talked about the NFL Monday
(00:21):
Night football game. Week eight wrapped up with Washington and
Kansas City and a rather futred performance by the Commanders
in the second half of that game. They're playing backups
and they just didn't have much fight in the second half,
and people calling out the head coach there as they
looked terrible. So does Dan Quinn deserve the heat he's
(00:42):
getting for the Commander's performance or lack thereof in the
second half. Also thumbs up or thumbs down on Andy
Reid's Kansas City Chiefs. They're back in the catbird's seat
of the AFC. Now, technically they're barely in the playoffs. However,
the way they're playing right now, Kansas City is looking really,
really good and coach Brian Schottenheimer and Dallas promising change
(01:06):
after the blowout loss to the Broncos, saying that it
is not acceptable. So what changes can Shoddy make for
the Whoa Begone Dallas Cowboys. We'll talk about all that
and more. Right now, give it up to my little friend.
It's our number one. Well you remember when the Washington
(01:36):
Commanders were in the NFC Championship game. On the back,
those are the Dan Snyder Commanders. Welcome in the beginning
of another night of the Ben Mahler Show. We are
in the air everywhere as we cluster and hang out
(01:57):
in the corner store. We have more. So we have
more coast to coast, border to border and beyond on
the vast and prodigiously powerful microphones of fsr ammnating live
from the box as we get on our soapbox from
the world famous Fox Sports Radio Studios, as approved by Rick.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
In Maryland morning time.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
As we are together yet again here hanging out from
the Fox Sports Radio Studios. This portion of the Ben
mal Show made possible in part by our friends at
tire Rack. That's right, tire Rack. For over forty years,
tire Rack has been helping customers find the right tires
for how, what and where they drive. Ship fast and
free back by free road hazard protection with convenient installation
(02:46):
options like mobile tire installation tire rac dot com the
way tire buying should be. So we were giving a
curveball the plan. The show was put to bed and
we had the baby woke up. The baby was put
to bed, the baby woke up. So the Dodgers are
still We have live baseball, which is great because all
these people are bitching and could playing.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
I don't understand these games are going so long. I
don't get my God shut up. Welcome to my world,
you losers, Welcome to my world. So the Dodgers and
Blue Jays are tied at five. They've gone now that
I know, is that cheating.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
They pulled out the the sliced watermelon and pineapple.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
It looked like to me pineapple.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Theyre the Dodgers eating snacks in the dugout and they
are now going to the bottom of the sixteenth inning
at Travesarino, I want this game to end either in
the bottom of the sixteenth or the seventeenth, because I
was at the game that win eighteen innings, so I
don't want to see this game, this World Series game,
go more than eighteen because that would then cheapen the
(03:45):
game that I was at Red Sox and Doyers in
the World Series years ago, when Max Muntsey hit the
home run. The game ended one in the morning, right
around one in the morning. It was after midnight.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
I remember that. It was after midnight. So anyway, that
is what's going on right now.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
So we will we will, I'll watch that, but we
will be talking about something other than that right now,
because there is more to discuss and more to break down,
and so our lead story this hour from Arrowhead Stadium
in Cannes City. It was KC and the Sunshine Band,
and that is the lead the stage for the final
(04:19):
game of.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Week number eight.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Week number eight of the NFL eight one of the
absolute worst. By the way, the product could not have
been less enjoyable if you want competitive games. In fact,
going back to nineteen seventy, this was, if not the
largest marching it was in the top two or three
all time in the history of the NFL. I know
(04:44):
going into the Monday night game. It was in the discussion.
It depends on how you spin the stats. How Badnes was,
but a weekend of blowouts wrapped up with backup quarterback
as Marcus Mariota leading the hobbled comm into Kansas City
that played eight there with Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs.
(05:04):
You had Joe Buck and Troy Aikman on the call.
There were you watching?
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Did you watch? Were you engaged in this? And you
were not? Okay?
Speaker 1 (05:13):
So Patrick Mahomes, by his standards, struggled early in the game.
The first half was a bit of a dud all
the way around, a lot of turnovers, a lot of bad,
sloppy football. And then by the time the game had ended,
Mahomes we love round numbers. He was one yard away
from a nice, sexy three hundred yards passing at two
hundred and ninety nine yards, ended up with three touchdowns.
(05:35):
Kareem Hunt found Peydrt hit the end zone twice, and
the Chiefs defense in the second half it looked like
they wanted to get out of there. They being Washington
as Kansas City hog tied the Commanders in the final
thirty minutes of that football game. So Kansas City pulls
away and they win by three touchdowns twenty eight to seven.
(05:58):
I am told that's good playing the NFL. But I'm
told that's good on a nice cold October night, just
days away from Halloween. Now, the better story is in
the losing locker room. The better story is in the
losing locker room and the Commander fans very upset, very
upset with dan Quinn, a lot of range, a lot
(06:22):
of anger with the way the Commanders played in the
second half of that game, and a lot of the
conversation is not even so much about how bad the
Commanders looked in the second half. It's the apathetic appearance
of the players on the Washington football team, who were
so happy after they got their face smashed in by
(06:44):
the Chiefs and people up in arms over that, that
they were smiling and having a grand old time playing
grab ass at the end of the game there on
the sidelines. The postgame handshake was like a college party.
My god, were they having a good time? People have
said with that, and so that's a good jumping off point.
Let us discuss the question does dan Quinn deserve the
(07:07):
heat that he's getting in the cyber Warfare department for
the Commander's performance?
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Does he deserve some heat for that?
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Now my observations on this, I've got Brad pitt Child's
play and Circus Circus, and we will combine all of
these things together and we are going to get an
end to Game three of the World Series. That's going
to have We're gonna end Game three of the World Series.
But number one, to answer the question, does dan Quinn
(07:43):
deserve the crap that he's getting. I'm nodding my head, yes,
I'm nodding my head yes. On that now, dan Quinn's commanders.
I'm old enough to remember that they were in the
final four of the National Football League at the end
of last season, and here they are out there smiling.
They were to charity golf outing somewhere in Maryland, just
having a grand old time. They were out playing golf
(08:06):
with some politicians and.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Just let me have some lemonade? Is that spiked lemonade?
Speaker 1 (08:12):
They didn't act like they just got pants in the
second half by Kansas City, which is what happened on
National TV, by the way, in an Island game, although
not a full Island game, because I was flipping back
and my right hand was getting a workout. If I
had only known the Dodgers and Bluejays would play all night,
I wouldn't even bother to watch the first part of
the game. I just would have focused on the football game.
But I was going back and forth and all that,
(08:34):
so the Commanders end up on the wrong side, and
then all the shenanigans after the game there as Washington
did catch lightning in a bottle, and I caught lightning
in a bottle last year. That was supposed to be
the foundation. That's what I was told. The smart people said,
this is the foundation.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
This is it.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
The NFL's final four NFC Championship game in Philadelphia, win
away from getting the super Bowl, and right there.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
One win.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Now, let's see some inventory on where the Commanders are.
We're at a checkpoint week eight. Now I realized they
play seventeen games, so it's not quite the halfway point,
but nonetheless, for talk radio purposes, we will examine this
as the middling point of the NFL season. So where
is Washington one year after they were right on the
(09:24):
cusp of the top of the NFL. So they have
been come tumbling down, down, down, down.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Down, down, down, down, down, down down down.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
That's where they are right now. And so they have
gone from punching above their weight, which is what they
did last year. Now they have gone down to the
corner bakery and they've ordered a pie, not an apple,
not a pumpkin, not the banana cream pie. They've gone
to the corner bakery and the Commanders have ordered a
big humble pie and they're cutting up the humble pie
(09:53):
right now. Although they don't seem to be that worried
based on their postgame celebration. You want to give at
least the di exception that you actually care so. Defensively,
the Commanders currently are ranked twenty seventh in the NFL.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
I'm told that's not good the offense. How about the offense?
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Now? The Commander's offense here? Okay, this group, I know
Jadon Daniels has been hurt. Middle of the pack. There's
sixteenth in the NFL. Now I recall and maybe I'm
wrong on this. You can touch up my work if
you want. Cliff Kingsbury was the second coming of the
Messiah as the offensive genius for the Washington Commanders.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
It is amazing. How'd that go?
Speaker 4 (10:35):
Well?
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Don't ask this year. Now, here's the thing about the
Commanders watching this team plan. I saw him in person
a few weeks back against the Chargers and they actually
played well in that game. But the thing I look
at Washington is they're not bad enough the Commanders to
be a lovable train wreck. So they're not at that
(10:56):
point and they're not good enough to really matter, kind
of stuck in the Bermuda triangle of the NFL. They're
stuck in football purgatory at this point. And as far
as the I guess we'll call it, what is the heel?
A monster of the room here? Postgame? It was like
a country club. But is it always like I don't
like understand the rage. It's always like that at NFL games.
(11:19):
They love other NFL players and they cannot wait to
hug it out. It's warm and fuzzy at the end
of every NFL game, with few exceptions.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
With few exceptions. Now there are exceptions, but.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
You you'd think that the Washington football team was hosting
a nice brunch with sliced meats and sliced cheeses and
they hadn't just gotten their teeth kicked in in the
second half by the team from Kansas City. But if
you're dan Quinn, okay, if you're Dan Quinn, to me,
(11:52):
that's on you. You know, he's supposed to be a happy,
go lucky coach and all that. That's fine, but at
least give the illusion that you were slightly bob and
this is always the issue. Right, We who invest our
time as fans, we get emotionally attached. The players don't
get emotionally attached. It's their gig, it's their job. They
don't understand why you're so into it. Just chill out, man,
(12:15):
It's just a game. And so we want to go
on there and make out at the fifty yard line
after we just got are ass kicked. We're going to
do that. We are going to do that is what
we're going to do. Yes, So how bad was it
for the Washington commanders? Was so bad that dan Quinn
should hire Brad Pitt. Bring Brad Pitty in. Remember that
(12:37):
famous scene from Moneyball where he was portraying Billy Bean
and they were in the locker room and he said, hey,
you think losing is fun?
Speaker 2 (12:47):
You think losing is fun?
Speaker 1 (12:48):
And then the player on the athletics said, well no, okay,
Well if the answer is no, it's not fun, then
what the hell are you smiling for. By the way,
they played thirty minutes of football, they were tied at halftime.
The Washington football team, I believe at that point they
started warming up the diesel engines on the buses and
(13:09):
they wanted to make sure that the water in the
shower was warm as well. They had just sixty six
yards of offense in the second half, and if my
math is correct, I jotted this chicken scratch down four
first downs in the second half, which I'm told is
not good. They were big underdogs, double digit dogs. They
being Washington going into this game, they were expected to lose,
(13:31):
they were expected to be blown out. They actually had
the game in position at halftime to scratch and claw
and make it a fourth quarter game, to put the
pressure on Kansas City. And instead of doing that, well,
they did the opposite. They just got in the fetal position,
started sucking their thumb and that was it. Mahomes got going,
(13:54):
the defense started crushing people, and that was it. Game over.
Apps salute weak sauce, Absolute week sauce. Now on the
other side, page two. So we go now to the
Kansas City side of things, where things are buzzing. You
can almost hear it. There's a buzz in the air.
(14:18):
It's almost everywhere. Yes, So question, are you gonna go
thumbs up or are you gonna go thumbs down? Thumbs upper,
thumbs down on Andy Reid's Chiefs being back in the
catbird seat metaphorically in the AFC.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
All right, that is the question. So thumb to the moon,
way up.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
I'm going to the moon. Thumb way up to the moon.
Now this game, you don't get any style points. It
was a blowout win. It was close at halftime. This
was what I would call a workman like effort for
the Kansas City Chiefs. Here punch the clock. The old
I can't really say lunch pill because all these guys
are millionaires, but you get the point. Back in the
old days we'd say lunch type game. And all of
a sudden, all of a sudden, Patrick Mahomes looks like
(15:07):
the vintage Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Yet again he does.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
He's got his toys back at wide receiver, He's got
his playmakers back. I know Keg drinking. Steve's excited about that.
And so Mahomes is cooking with a flamethrower at this point.
So it turns out the reports of Mahomes and the
Chiefs demise, well, they were cute while they lasted greatly exaggerated.
Mahomes looked in the second half like he was taking
(15:34):
batting practice at five thirty and hitting those batting practice
fastballs out of the park. Washington had nothing in the
second half. Now, some of that was Mahomes. Some of
that was Mahomes and what he was doing with Kansas City.
They got off to the zero to two start. They
are now five and one, and the one loss in
there was the play that they quit against Jacksonville. Remember
(15:57):
the defense quit. They were caught on camera lollygagging, allowing
Trevor Lawrence to fall down twice and get up and
score a touchdown. So that's on them. So you could
make the argument there's a dimension in the multiverse where
they are six and zero and they're lurking in the
playoff picture like Michael Myers behind the curtain there. Now
(16:18):
nobody think about this, Nobody in the AFC. Nobody in
the AFC. You can say, well, Indianapolis a little bit,
but nobody in the AFC West has been able to
capitalize on that early faceplant. The Chargers won all these
divisional games earlier. Oh, right, there you go, this is
the Chargers year. Everything's great. They're set up now. Boom
boom boom, division win, division win, division win, They're ready
(16:39):
to go, and now we look like we look at
it right.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Now and yeah, faceplan.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
So the division led by the Chargers early and they
had a shot to bury Kansas City.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
They didn't do it.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
We all know that nobody in the AFC West took
advantage of it. As we said, so the division is
still up for grabs at this point and now Kansas City.
As of right now, the Chiefs are back in the
playoff picture. They are the last team in the wild
card around. They're the last team in the playoffs at
(17:13):
this point and still have a shot to be the
number one seed in the Also, the schedule sets up
nicely Kansas City. There is no momentum, so we know that. However,
they are playing with some confidence now they have up ahead.
If you look, you've got the Bills, Broncos, and Colts upcoming.
(17:33):
Is also buy mixed in and so those are massive
swing games both in the division and then just the
overall hierarchy in the AFC down the line. So Kansas City,
I'm trying to say, if you like horror movies, Kansas
City this season it's like that classic Child's Play.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Remember that movie. It's all movie.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Now, all my references are old, I guess, but Child's
Play and that was where Chucky was at the.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Beginning of the movie. There he was.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Burned, shot and dismembered, and somehow, because it's Hollywood, managed
to come back. Why not Kansas City to begin the
year was burn shot and dismembered. And they have come
back now and they're right in the middle of it
in the AFC and Mahomes is breathing like a dragon
with fire. Andy Reids is suddenly smart again, and we're
(18:22):
on our way. Of course, the conspiracy theorist will so well,
yeah but yeah, but yeah, but yeah about the NFL
wants someone to win because the Taylor swip.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Yeah but yeah but yeah it yeah it, yeah it,
yeah it, yeah it yeah it rabbit they yabbit rabbit
all right.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Now, final point to Dallas, we go bad football makes
for good talk radio.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
We love talking about the bad. We love it.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
We love it, we love it, we love it. So
humiliation situation in Dallas question coach Brian Schottenheimer, the sock
puppet coach of Jerry Jones football team, is promising change, change,
change this after the Denver bronc rubbed the Cowboys face
(19:03):
in their own poo poo in the game on Sunday,
dominating win as Schottenheimer says there's going to be change.
He also said it is not acceptable the way the
Dallas football team played. So question what changes can Shoty?
What changes can Shoty make for the Cowboys? That is
the question. So a Schottenheimer banging the podium, right, this
(19:27):
is the classic.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
I'm going to bang the podium is what I'm going to.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
Do, and say, changes coming, changes coming. Now, we've seen
this movie before.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
And spider light spiler alert.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Yes, we know how it ends. We know it ends.
Two weeks from now or three weeks from now. The
Cowboys will give up a fifty point game to somebody.
But change, change, change, Do I have the change? This
is pure window dressing. It's pure window dressing. It's paint
on a foundation, trying to sell the house before the
(20:02):
person buying the house realizes the foundation is cracked on
the house. So what's gonna change? You can't change the roster.
I know the trade deadline is coming up. You're not
gonna trade half the roster, which is seemingly what you're
going to have to do. Right, So the defense is
wobbly in Dallas. They're three four and one, they have
a losing record. Dak Prescott is putting up video game
(20:24):
numbers where the fantasy football players have their pants down.
They're so excited about that, and it doesn't mean a
damn thing. It does not mean a damn thing. It
does not And so it's kind of like putting lipstick
on a quarterback draw. And that's essentially what they're doing.
This is the most fun, most fun, fun bad NFL team.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
And now fun bad is important to me. That's important.
You just want to be bad.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
You want to be fun bad. Fun bad's a good
kind of bad. You can't just be bad bad, fun bad.
That's the way to go.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Dallas is like.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
The Circus Circus Midway in Vegas. And when you go
to the Circus Circus Midway in Vegas, it's a much
different experience when you're nine years old as opposed to
when you're fifty years old, it's much different experience. Right,
you go to the Circus Circus Midway in Vegas. They've
got flashing lights, there's a lot of noise, there's a
lot of activity, there's carnival games, there's chaos. Everyone seems
(21:23):
to be having a great time. But deep down in
your soul, you know it's kind of a dump. That's
the Dallas Cowboys, right. Everyone looks like they're having a
good time. They're having fun. There's a lot of flashing lights,
there's a lot of chaos and all that. But deep down,
you know, they blow. They absolutely blow. They score a
lot of points, they give up a lot of points,
(21:46):
and there's always a lot of drama, which is good
if you're a fledgling overnight talk show host like yours.
Truly so, Jerry Jones is sitting somewhere eating a big
mac and he's watching and he's seeing all the fireworks
and he's like, all.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Right, ave it, I am of it? All right?
Speaker 1 (22:04):
It is the Ben Mallor Show. The just did that monologue.
The Dodgers are still playing the Blue Man.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
I went along on that monologue too. Should we call
Marlin's man?
Speaker 4 (22:15):
I have.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
He's been texting me throughout the night. He's sitting right
behind home plate there and his orange. He's like, it's
where's Walda, where's Marlin Man? Yeah, that's my guy?
Speaker 5 (22:25):
How cool is that?
Speaker 2 (22:26):
He's right there. He's a fan of the show. He
goes to all the big events.
Speaker 5 (22:29):
Just looked at his phone right now to text you.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
He's always on his phone. No, no, he's always he's always
on his phone. But uh yeah, so maybe we'll call
him up and catch up with him. And should we
do ask a weed Man early? Should we counter program
the world too? I think that would get better ratings
Ask a weed Man than the World? So cool?
Speaker 2 (22:44):
What do you think here? Maybe break that in?
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Wait a minute, the Dodgers, you gotta runner on here,
a couple outs in the seventeenth thing. We're not allowed
to do play by play. So this is like a
ten minute delay that happened ten minutes ago. You know,
you know, you know, he's the most upset Steve Desager.
We got a lit updates again, baby, live updates help
Set's the company gonna they have to pay to Saga
(23:06):
to be here? Holy crap, they're not paying you live?
Oh wait, you actually have pride in your work? You
want to stay and do it? You don't wanna? And
you see, there are I'm not gonna name names here,
but there are some people, Steve who work here who
might say and the Dodger World series game was tied
at five at press time.
Speaker 6 (23:25):
So, in other words, they work for the La Times.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Yes, that's what newspapers do. It's so expensive to print newspapers.
They just whatever time the deadline is, that's it.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
That's all. We're not gonna the blue, just gonna walk
o tany a fifth time.
Speaker 6 (23:39):
You cannot possibly do this. There's a man on first.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Why a man? There are people they're gonna that's gonna
be the story from this game. To say, we'll get
into it later. You'll be gone by then.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Hopefully maybe not, you might be here all night. But
there you say. We got to get rid of that
intentional walk rule. It's not good for baseball.
Speaker 6 (23:55):
You're taking the I've had some good suggestions actually that
if you intentionally walk a guy the second time, he
gets two bases. Yeah, the third time.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Or yeah, that's a that's an idea that I was
kicking around in my head too.
Speaker 6 (24:05):
I think it's or that if it's extra innings, he
gets two bases instead of one.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (24:11):
By the way, I did read that a Monday night
football game you were talking about, Yes, even after a
flight delay home. Washington is halfway home from Kansas City,
and their game started after the baseball game.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Like I said, I was watching both and if I
had known this game was going to go along, so
they are pitching due a Tani.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
By the way, he's four for four four walks. Is
that right?
Speaker 6 (24:30):
For four straight intentional walks has never happened in a
postseason game. Hits never, No one's ever reached base eight
times in a playoff game before.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
You know who's also upset about this? Rob Parker, because
what's he gonna say? I can't rip all Tani? I mean,
what am I gonna.
Speaker 6 (24:42):
Do yet another Rob Parker take that is aged like
the cheese.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Here's the thing though, too, and you know we're going
along and that's okay, who cares?
Speaker 2 (24:51):
No, you know we're skipped the update. Yeah we're there's
no bottom of our update.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
But but no, the the the Blue Jays, if they
don't win this game. How many innings have they gone
against the Dodger bullpen, which is the kryptonite of the Dodgers.
Speaker 6 (25:03):
Nine shutout innings?
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Oh my god, that is put that on the Bengal corner.
I can't believe there's no chitting nine innings with those stiffs,
those dog with fleas.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Nine innings.
Speaker 6 (25:15):
They're literally on their innings. Last reliever Will Klein has
had to throw three innings and he has four striking.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
I bet your rob Manford comes back and says, well,
we must bring some pictures back. But they can't even
bring pictures back because you know, bunch pitchers.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Are out of the game.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
That's it, they said, because out of it a bundans
of caution, you can't bring them back.
Speaker 6 (25:33):
This is the last reliever Toronto has that they just
put in little and they have tomorrow night's starting pitcher
down in the pen. Shane Bieber justin with Justin Bieber
at the game. But I guess you could, oh Bieber
and Bieber. Bieber is a proud Canadian, just right. Yeah,
this Shane Bieber is from southern California, Okay, but I don't.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Think he's pulling for the Dodgers. I don't think that,
all right.
Speaker 6 (25:54):
So literally not tonight. And there are rumors of sideline
reporters saying that Yamamoto, through the translator, had a message
sent to Dave Roberts. So if the Dodgers run out
of pitchers, maybe they haven't run out of pictures.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Hmmm.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
Interesting. All right, Well we'll see.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
It'd be great if a game imagine how great if
the World Series comes down to like a position player
pitching yeah, kick out here.
Speaker 6 (26:18):
And end is fifty miles an hour. Here we go.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
All right, well, that'll definitely change some rules for sure.
The lad extra pitchures. All right, it is the Ben
Malo Show. The rain has told me if I do
not stop talking here, she will poke my eyeballs out
doing I do not want my eyeballs poked out, So
out of an abundance of caution on my end, I've
decided to move ahead in the broadcast. All right, we
will press off, will take your calls eight seven, seven
ninety nine on Fox. We'll talk obviously a lot about
(26:42):
the World Series. It's still going on. We have live

the count out for the season. We'll get to that
and we will do it it next.

I guess we have freedom to say whatever we want. Whoo,

Speaker 2 (28:18):

Speaker 2 (28:45):
Stops, we'll move on with the show.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
And the Dodgers and Blue Jays are tied at five
in the eighteenth inning, the eighteenth inning at Chavez Ravine
just down the road.
Speaker 5 (28:57):
They're old enough to move out now.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
Yeah, eighteen innings, Holy, holy crap, as it's still going
on and on and on, and is there gonna be
a replay review on this wonderful outstanding And the Dodgers
are out of pitchers, so they've got somebody warming up
in the bullpen who just pitched not long ago. And uh,
(29:19):
this is not part of the script. The Dodgers have
this all. Everyth game is scripted by the Dodgers. This
is definitely not part of the script. There might have
been like a supercomputer update or something like that. They
had to check with the algorithm for the Internet figure
things out. As the Yoshinobu Yamamoto is warming up in
the Dodger bullpen, so how many Dodgers have used how
(29:42):
many pitchers we had? Ten?
Speaker 2 (29:44):
Is it over ten? It's got to be over ten, right,
is it over ten? Eleven?
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Okay, that'd be over ten. Eleven is over ten. That's
where we where we are at this point. Now, I
mentioned the NFL. As we juggle, we are able to
spend a lot of plates here. It's called talk radio.
So the NFL card this week, and I usually go
with underdogs. I lean towards dogs. If you watch Benny
Versus the Penny on YouTube Benny Vspenny on YouTube, you
(30:10):
know that I got my lunch handed.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
To me this week. Well, not not the good, not
the good.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Yeah, that was not a great week for me at
all humiliating, But it was not a great week for
the NFL. This was the first week in the NFL
with only one game decided by single digits, and that
was the Jets come back when they were down by
two touchdowns in the game in Cincinnati and Bengals blew
the lead.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
Jets came back and won that game.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
So only one game decided by single digits, first time
since Week fourteen in the nineteen seventy nineteen seventy season.
My math tells me that's fifty five years ago, the
last time that something like this happened. So just uncompetitive
football over the place, all over the place. Scrooge in
(31:03):
the younger Demo in the Bay Area rights and he says,
I've watched every damn inning of this World Series game.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
And the next game is in a couple of hours.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Well, as the crow flies, it's relatively a short amount
of time.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
I'm sure the players will be okay, it'll be right.
Speaker 5 (31:24):
Is that the sun coming up already?
Speaker 2 (31:26):
Tomorrow? Tomorrow is another day. It's primetime in Tokyo.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
Didn't they put that graphic up on the Fox broadcast
that it's three like three something in the afternoon, three
thirty or something like that in the afternoon in Tokyo.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
So why not? And this game is likely going to
pass the game I was at, which I'm annoyed by.
Speaker 5 (31:42):
I'm up so cool they get a daytime game like that.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Man Steve de Seger's at the news desk here. It's
kind of cool to have an update, guy, I missed those.
We were both at that eighteen inning game twenty eighteen
World Series. You switch seats, as I recall. But by
the way, with Will Klein coming in for a fourth inning.
He still pitch your ten. I correct myself that Yamamoto
warming up in the pen Arty pitcher eleven.
Speaker 5 (32:05):
Because we wait, can I play your sounder, Steve? I
never get to play.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
Here we go, Steve, just say you hear the news desk,
we have alive. Question was asked me, Hey, let's get
an update World Series Game three. It's still going ended
about eight pm Eastern.
Speaker 6 (32:20):
We'll have World Series Game four on Tuesday nights, and
there's still a game five Wednesday in La.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
Really one thing that I did play. I haven't thrown
to an update in a year. I don't know how
to do this. I've lost my chops.
Speaker 5 (32:33):
With the babbler for the button.
Speaker 6 (32:35):
With the Dodgers hitting at least two to the wall,
it didn't go out, and so I like, we're still
playing the.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
Base running by the Dodgers. I like the both ways,
the yeah, defensive faux pause, you know outs at third,
little weird things.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
Uh well, Tommy Edmonds, I guess he's made up for it,
but absolutely bonehead play with.
Speaker 6 (32:55):
The bad ankle. He's now pushed into center field. Mookie
Bets also screwed something.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
I mean, there's already Freeman built out a couple of
Max Month's Eagles shake you at third base?
Speaker 6 (33:03):
Yeah, oh, plenty of these you could have. Well, this
is going to become a book. So is this the
first eight game World Series?
Speaker 1 (33:09):
Now? Because we're at eighteen innings? So I guess we
did have one where the game we were at so
that's a second? Well, yeah, it was five, that's right.
Speaker 6 (33:16):
Was that was the only game the Dodgers won the
Red Sox was Max Monthly homer in the eighteenth. That
was not nearly as exciting as this one has been.
By the way, for what.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
It's worth, are you saying this that was a lesser
game we attended? This is more exciting. That was back when.
Speaker 6 (33:31):
Baseball was a little bit more home run or strikeout.
Let's say this has had, as you just mentioned, between
the fielding and the base running and the hitting and
the not hitting, it's had something for everybody.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
I do like the runners left on base stat where
the blue are they pets? A World Series record? They
were at combine, they were at sixteen, seventeen seventeen though
eighteen for the Dodgers left on base.
Speaker 5 (33:53):
Keep it going, keep it going. Let's just keep nineteen twenty.
Speaker 6 (33:56):
Yeah, it is one of my many favorite stats. Is
what Chicago guy tweeted that. Here we had sho hey
o Tani tie the world Series record four extra base
hits in a game. He set a World Series record
with five walks in the game, both in the same game. Wow,
he's been on base nine times.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
But again the four intentional walks, right.
Speaker 6 (34:16):
Is correct. And then they just pitched around him last time.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
And the Dodgers have not scored. Both teams scored in
the seventh, right, so nobody's scored in the last ten.
I'm gonna jinx them, right, I'm about to jink some
I don't want to say, but they haven't scored since
in the eighteenth, and it's been since the seventh. And
there's always somebody that takes the takes the cake for suckage.
Who's the guy in this game? You mean like an
(34:40):
OH for six. I don't see any six months he's
OH for seven. Okay, that's he's the worst. I see
Tommy Edmond one for eight. That doesn't seem particularly And.
Speaker 6 (34:49):
George Springer may not be available for the rest of
the week, for all weeks.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
That would be a shame.
Speaker 6 (34:54):
The DH was booed the loudest pre gamet Houston the
buzzer checking with He was injured on a swing and
had to be replaced. So they've had three different guys
in the leadoff.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
Spots for the day.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
I could swing a bat, I'll get hurt, all right,
I could swing a bat, all right? Uh oh, hold
on sick? Now did the little check swing.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
In ball four? All four?
Speaker 4 (35:16):
Wow?
Speaker 6 (35:17):
Dodgers were walking off the field. They thought they had
strike three instead two outs. Top of the eighth is
now first and second for the Toronto Blue Jays. Okay,
holy plot thickings. The plot thick can't get any thicker.
This is tying. By the way, the postseason record the
longest game eighteen innings, better.
Speaker 5 (35:33):
Than a snicker.
Speaker 6 (35:34):
That game that you referenced early, it was seven hours,
twenty minutes Dodgers Red Sox Game three of the twenty
eighteen Right, and like.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
Was it one in the morning? Is I remember leaving
the stadium?
Speaker 6 (35:46):
Was? Yeah, I say it would be a similar five
o'clock Pacific start, So add seven hours and twenty minutes.
Speaker 2 (35:51):
They said there would be no math to say I
got a radio. If I was good at math, I
would have gotten.
Speaker 6 (35:55):
This is only six hours in something here because it
started at about five ten Pacific.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
Well, so I've only watched the last seven innings. What happened?
Speaker 1 (36:03):
What happened?
Speaker 2 (36:03):
Were you doing the rest of what happened to Boba? Shad?
Speaker 1 (36:07):
Does he he hasn't been playing full games just because
he had a bat off. So both second basement for
the Blue Jays got four bats and the game is
still going on.
Speaker 6 (36:17):
Yeah, oh boys, the game still better? Well maybe not
one of the When one of the infielders for the
Blue Jays fouled the ball off his leg in the
last few innings, immediately they said he has to stay in.
They literally don't have anybody else.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
They could play with eight guys. You know, No, what's
the name of the Blue Jays mascot?
Speaker 1 (36:35):
Do we know that?
Speaker 2 (36:35):
Do they have they have a mask?
Speaker 1 (36:36):
Them?
Speaker 2 (36:37):
They do? Guy? Yeah, I don't know what the name
of the mascot is.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
All right? Anyway, suner luck, I need to pause for
the causer, but I don't want to go in until
this half inning's over, so I'm trying to time it perfectly.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
Here is their mascot, Yeah, Ace is the blue Jays
maskt What a great name. Yeah, I don't know bout
that anyway. If you'd like to be.
Speaker 1 (36:53):
Part eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox, It's the
Ben Maler Show. We're here hanging out all night. The
World Series is still going on. Blue Jays have the
potential winning run at second base, the go ahead run
which could turn out to be the winning run there
at Dodger Stadium in the eighteenth inning. Couple outs and
I only get a runner at third, so they're set
(37:15):
up to possibly take the lead here in the eighteenth inning.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
All right, it is the Ben Mahlord Show. Time now
for the who am I? Game? You can answer this
on the X machine at Ben Mallard. It's the who
am I? Game?
Speaker 1 (37:29):
And here it is so Patrick mahomes three hundred and
eight career touchdown passes in the regular season after the
game on Monday night, and that includes the regular season
in the playoffs, and he is now tied with me
for the sixteenth most touchdown passes in the history the
all time history of the NFL.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
Who am I? That is the question? The answer? And
will we get the end to Game three of the
World Series. We'll get to all that and we will
do it next.
Speaker 4 (37:58):
Be sure to catch live edition. And so the Ben
Maller Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific,
it is all over.
Speaker 2 (38:05):
At Dodgers Stadium. Freddie Freeman in the Night the Dodgers.
The Dodgers have.
Speaker 1 (38:12):
Won Game three of the World Series in the eighteen
in All Night Affair ends. The Dodgers are up two
games to one in the Fall Classic. As Freddie Freeman
to dead center field in the eighteenth inning, he ends it,
and so the Dodgers now are two wins away from
(38:34):
becoming the first team since the Yankees, the Joe Tory
managed New York Yankees with Jeter and Paul O'Neil and
all those guys back if you're old enough to remember
the nineties, Dodgers trying to become the first team to
do that, and Freddy Freeman the first played with multiple
walk off hall runs in the history of the World Series,
according to the Fox graphics that they had on the
(38:56):
TV there. So it is the Ben Maler Show as
we are rolling, rolling, rolling through.
Speaker 2 (39:03):
The overnight, and we will certainly take some reaction.
Speaker 1 (39:08):
To that. Now, the real question is, as we continue
the show here is how long will we be covered
up because I know that we're on the Dodger flagship
in LA. The game ends, it's about midnight in LA.
So does that mean they go to like one in
the morning.
Speaker 2 (39:28):
Do they go to two in the morning like a
post show?
Speaker 1 (39:31):
Right, Well, they will have a postgame show, and I'm
sure none of our guys will call up and say,
where's the Ben Maler Show, because that would be wrong
to do that.
Speaker 2 (39:39):
You should not do this.
Speaker 1 (39:40):
You should not call up Dodger postgame talk and say
I want to hear the Ben Maler Show. You should
not do that at all. But Freddie Freeman, your world
serious hero, and somewhere Nasty Nester, somewhere Nasty Nestern Cortes
who was with the Potterys at the end of last year,
who served up that big fat meatball to Freddie Freeman
in Game number one of the World Series last year,
(40:03):
that classic home run against the Yankees at Chavez Ravine.
So here's another great Freddie Freeman moment. And somewhere in Atlanta,
Tommy in Atlanta is very upset, very angry. I gotta
pay off the who am I game, or else I'm
gonna get kicked in the in the nuts. So I'm
gonna do that right now. Here is the who am I?
Speaker 2 (40:19):
Game?
Speaker 1 (40:19):
So Patrick Maholmes had a big night, big second half.
He's got three hundred and eight career touchdown passes in
the regular season in the playoffs. That is tied with
me for sixteenth all time. Who am I? That is
the question? What is the answer? And let's see does
anyone know the answer? Page down here? I can't read that.
(40:41):
The A team gets by Alf the Alien Pinter, Matt Foley,
inspirational speaker from Milkman, Mike in Colorado, Barry Manilow from
Rob Billy, Joe Tolliver guests by Josh that's his answer.

wrong with him?
Speaker 2 (41:04):
Anyway? Laredo, Do you have an answer?
