0:08
Speaker 1: Happy hump day here. The 28th day of October. The
0:10
Speaker 1: final Wednesday before Halloween. As we are united through the
0:14
Speaker 1: power of talk radio. Sports talk radio. Up all night
0:19
Speaker 1: to give you this podcast. And here in hour number one,
0:22
Speaker 1: if you thought the World Series was going to end
0:23
Speaker 1: last night, you're a loser. Who gets the blame? Cheese
0:27
Speaker 1: curds for Pat Murphy's Brewers blowing a golden opportunity to
0:32
Speaker 1: sweep the World Series as they lost the game in
0:37
Speaker 1: extra innings after taking a lead in the 12th inning.
0:39
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay gets the win. Our manager, Kevin Cash, is
0:43
Speaker 1: raised right back in the World Series now as they
0:46
Speaker 1: finally won a game. We'll discuss that and have Junior
0:50
Speaker 1: Caminero's team snatched momentum in the World Series. As I
0:57
Speaker 1: keep hearing from all the geniuses, it's momentum, momentum. Your
1:03
Speaker 1: second bite of the apple right now. It's our number one.
1:10
Speaker 1: A ray of sunshine in a dome indoors. Welcome in
1:18
Speaker 1: the beginning of another night of the Ben Maller Show.
1:23
Speaker 1: We are in the air everywhere in unison as we
1:32
Speaker 1: give up a gopher ball. But it doesn't matter. You
1:34
Speaker 1: can give up a gopher ball and still win. We
1:35
Speaker 1: saw that. In the World Series game, coast to coast,
1:39
Speaker 1: border to border, and beyond, on the vast and zestfully
1:44
Speaker 1: powerful microphones of FSR emanating live from the pitch. as
1:53
Speaker 1: we reach a fever pitch guaranteed human from the world-famous
1:58
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio studios where sleazy cheese is starting to
2:02
Speaker 1: bite his fingernails and the Green Bay Gobbler slightly concerned,
2:07
Speaker 1: even Artez making that soul food in Milwaukee not real
2:11
Speaker 1: happy right now. Because, well, we know what happened. But
2:16
Speaker 1: they all said, hey, Mallard, let us know about Fox 1.
2:19
Speaker 1: I said, absolutely, I'll let you know about Fox 1.
2:22
Speaker 1: There's nothing like live in this fall. Every NFL on
2:26
Speaker 1: Fox game. Streams live on Fox 1 every Sunday. Every rivalry.
2:32
Speaker 1: Miss it live and you're just watching a highlight. Catch
2:35
Speaker 1: every play as it happens. The NFL on Fox. Streaming
2:40
Speaker 1: on Fox 1. Now the Supreme Court justices of the
2:44
Speaker 1: Mallard Militia.
2:45
Speaker 2: The duo.
2:47
Speaker 1: Well, it's more than just a duo. Alfie Alien O'Piner,
2:50
Speaker 1: Ferg Dog, and Mallor Prop Guy have united here, and
2:54
Speaker 1: they said this show is going to be an express ride.
2:57
Speaker 1: I said, you're right. And it's all made possible by
3:00
Speaker 1: Express Employment Professionals. Workforce challenges slowing down your business. Express

3:20
Speaker 1: ExpressPros.com today. That's ExpressPros.com. So our lead this hour. I
3:29
Speaker 1: think you know what it is. There's no NFL to
3:32
Speaker 1: get in the way. There was none of that. It
3:33
Speaker 1: was rather clear and obvious what the lead is. A
3:38
Speaker 1: ray of sunshine in the dome. If you thought the
3:42
Speaker 1: World Series was all over, well, not yet. But the
3:46
Speaker 1: lead in, our lead this hour from Florida, it was
3:49
Speaker 1: Game 4 of the Fall Classic. You had... Joe Davis
3:53
Speaker 1: and professional golfer John Smoltz on the call there on Fox.
3:57
Speaker 1: Pat Murphy's Brewers looking to sweep away Tampa Bay and
4:02
Speaker 1: win that piece of metal, as Rob Manfraud called it
4:06
Speaker 1: years ago, the loser commissioner of Major League Baseball. So
4:10
Speaker 1: the Rays certainly looked beaten and broken. They lost by
4:14
Speaker 1: nine runs in Game 3 of the World Series at home.
4:18
Speaker 1: So if you did not watch this game, you might
4:20
Speaker 1: have missed it. You thought, well, it's over. I'm not
4:22
Speaker 1: watching that. I'm going to watch something else. I don't
4:24
Speaker 1: know what else you were watching. Some crappy NBA basketball.
4:26
Speaker 1: I don't know what you were watching. Well, don't worry.
4:29
Speaker 1: We watched so you would not have to. And some
4:32
Speaker 1: late magic. The great Johnny DeLuca.
4:36
Speaker 3: Who?
4:37
Speaker 1: Johnny DeLuca and pinch hitter Ben Williamson. Let's hear it
4:42
Speaker 1: for guys named Ben. There's not too many guys named
4:44
Speaker 1: Ben that are in professional sports. So when we get
4:47
Speaker 1: a guy named... Thank you. When we have a guy
4:49
Speaker 1: named Ben that does something, it's really good for the
4:52
Speaker 1: fraternal order of Bens. Those of us who are in
4:55
Speaker 1: the Ben community celebrate when other Bens do good things.
4:59
Speaker 1: So from one Ben to another, a guy I've never
5:03
Speaker 1: heard of, Ben Williamson. Good job by you. Way to go.
5:07
Speaker 1: He knocked in... The winning run. So Johnny DeLuca and
5:12
Speaker 1: pinch hitter Ben Williamson with ribby singles in the 12th
5:16
Speaker 1: inning rally. The Rays, you know the word we only
5:19
Speaker 1: use in sports. Staved off elimination. Have you ever used
5:25
Speaker 1: the word staved in your world other than in a
5:29
Speaker 1: sporting context? Do you ever say, I staved off that
5:34
Speaker 1: diet because I was able to lose the weight? No,
5:36
Speaker 1: you never used it.
5:36
Speaker 4: No.
5:38
Speaker 1: It's only in sports. But the Rays staved off World
5:41
Speaker 1: Series elimination with a 4-3 win over the Brew crew.
5:45
Speaker 1: They do force a Game 5, which is on Humpty
5:48
Speaker 1: Hump Day here on Wednesday. And it looked like Cooper
5:53
Speaker 1: Pratt was going to be the hero, and he had
5:55
Speaker 1: hit the tie-breaking home run. The guy the Brewers signed
5:58
Speaker 1: sight unseen before he had ever played in a major
6:02
Speaker 1: league game. They gave him an eight-year contract, unearned, by
6:04
Speaker 1: the way. Didn't earn the eight-year contract. They gave it
6:07
Speaker 1: to him. So he went out and hit a home run.
6:09
Speaker 1: He only had four home runs, I believe, during the
6:10
Speaker 1: regular season. But he had a tie-breaking home run in
6:14
Speaker 1: the top of the 12th inning. Had four hits. That
6:17
Speaker 1: was his fourth hit for Milwaukee. And you thought, well,
6:21
Speaker 1: that's it. They were going to sweep. But the Rays...
6:25
Speaker 1: also seeking their first championship. They rally, obviously, in the
6:28
Speaker 1: bottom half of the inning. So Game 5 on Wednesday
6:31
Speaker 1: night at the Trop. Tickets are not available. The better
6:35
Speaker 1: story is in the losing locker room. So let us
6:38
Speaker 1: discuss the question. Who gets the blame cheese curds for
6:44
Speaker 1: Pat Murphy's Brewers, who had the lead three outs away,
6:50
Speaker 1: God's gift to baseball, the bullpen. Joe Davis has his
6:54
Speaker 1: knee pads on for this Brewers bullpen. My God. Okay, fine.
6:58
Speaker 1: They're mortal. Didn't seem like it leading into this, but
7:02
Speaker 1: who gets the blame? Again, the question, for those in
7:04
Speaker 1: the back of the room, pay attention. Who gets the
7:06
Speaker 1: blame cheese curds for Pat Murphy's Brewers blowing the A
7:10
Speaker 1: chance to sweep the World Series. So I've got Lewis Carroll.
7:16
Speaker 1: Lloyd Christmas, and Loch Ness Monster. And we will ring
7:21
Speaker 1: the bell and combine all those things together, and we
7:23
Speaker 1: are going to make some spaghetti and meatballs is what
7:26
Speaker 1: we're going to make. So, A, listen, this was a
7:32
Speaker 1: choke job. It was. That's it. I mean, some things,
7:35
Speaker 1: you can sugarcoat it and say, well, it wasn't a
7:37
Speaker 1: choke job because Milwaukee's still leaving three games to one, blah, blah, blah.
7:42
Speaker 1: Loser talk. Loser, loser, loser. Loser talk. The Brewers had
7:48
Speaker 1: the champagne on ice, the championship hats, the shirts, all
7:55
Speaker 1: of that ready to go. Everything ready to go. They
7:59
Speaker 1: had the parade route mapped out in Milwaukee. And then
8:04
Speaker 1: Joey Ortiz. Who? Joey Ortiz decided, you know what I'm
8:08
Speaker 1: going to do? I'm going to throw a wrench into
8:10
Speaker 1: the coronation ceremony. And the Rays came crawling out of
8:14
Speaker 1: baseball's morgue. They were literally in the morgue, and they
8:17
Speaker 1: came crawling out there. So the Brew crew, the way
8:20
Speaker 1: they play, not a lot of margin for error. The
8:24
Speaker 1: way Milwaukee plays baseball, they play on a razor blade.
8:28
Speaker 1: And the razor blade did not quite work here this
8:31
Speaker 1: time as Ortiz decided to juggle chainsaws. So as for
8:37
Speaker 1: who gets the blame cheese curds, well, it's right out
8:41
Speaker 1: of Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking Glass. Those famous brothers,
8:46
Speaker 1: Tweedledee and Tweedledum. First of all, the aforementioned Joey Ortiz,
8:50
Speaker 1: who airmailed. A rather routine throw. Bouncy, bouncy, bouncy, all that.
8:57
Speaker 1: And that opened the bottom of the 12th inning. That
9:00
Speaker 1: gave the Rays a base runner down by a run.
9:03
Speaker 1: And then they went to the bullpen. A rookie reliever,
9:05
Speaker 1: Shane Drone, entered. I would have rather had an actual
9:09
Speaker 1: drone on the mound. But Shane Drone, I think we
9:12
Speaker 1: went to Florida State. Anyway, it doesn't matter. He surrendered
9:15
Speaker 1: not one, not two, not three, but four consecutive base hits.
9:18
Speaker 1: I didn't play Major League Baseball. I'm told that's not good, though.
9:22
Speaker 1: And zero outs. Bupkis in terms of outs. And he
9:27
Speaker 1: turned a guy, the relief pitcher Shane Drone, turned a
9:31
Speaker 1: guy in Ben Williamson, who was one for 15 in
9:35
Speaker 1: the postseason. All of a sudden, on that, at bat,
9:39
Speaker 1: he was the Bambino, Babe Ruth, for the walk-off. Forget
9:44
Speaker 1: cosmic energy. Some will say, oh, it's cosmic energy. The
9:48
Speaker 1: Brewers didn't lose because of cosmic energy. They did not.
9:53
Speaker 1: No bad vibrations, not because Mercury's in RetroGator, there's a
9:56
Speaker 1: full moon. No, they lost because one guy couldn't throw
10:01
Speaker 1: the baseball to another guy, and then the guy on
10:05
Speaker 1: the mound couldn't get anybody out. Bad job by them.
10:08
Speaker 1: All right, now, to the Tampa Bay side of things,
10:13
Speaker 1: so the World Series will not be a sweep. And
10:15
Speaker 1: the question, are manager Kevin Cash's Rays right back in
10:21
Speaker 1: the World Series now? Are they back? Are the Tampa
10:24
Speaker 1: Bay Rays back, baby?
10:28
Speaker 5: No.
10:29
Speaker 1: I am shaking my head no. My eyes are closed.
10:33
Speaker 1: I'm shaking my head no. I'm going to get dizzy
10:36
Speaker 1: if I keep doing this. But the answer is no. Okay,
10:38
Speaker 1: it is. And here's the issue, though. They're not back
10:42
Speaker 1: in it. However, if you listen faintly, Off on the horizon,
10:49
Speaker 1: you can hear the knock. They're knocking on the door.
10:52
Speaker 1: And somebody better tell Pat Murphy's Brewers here to go
10:56
Speaker 1: out and hire a locksmith. You might want to change
10:59
Speaker 1: the locks here. And I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, ah, Mallor,
11:02
Speaker 1: come on. The Rays are dead and buried, Mallor. Not
11:07
Speaker 1: so fast, my friend. Not so fast here. The hardest win.
11:12
Speaker 1: And the most difficult, the final nail in the coffin,
11:16
Speaker 1: the hardest one. And in the immortal words of Lloyd Christmas,
11:20
Speaker 1: so you're telling me there's a chance. You're telling me
11:24
Speaker 1: there's a chance. Now, the Rays, starting the night, heading
11:28
Speaker 1: into Tuesday, they needed four mini miracles. They've already cashed
11:33
Speaker 1: in the first one. So they got that first one.
11:35
Speaker 1: They checked that box. Fine. Three more to go. And
11:40
Speaker 1: here's where it gets interesting. Game five is a pivot point.
11:44
Speaker 1: This is a Waterloo moment in the World Series. Because
11:48
Speaker 1: if I read correctly, the Miz is going to start
11:52
Speaker 1: for Milwaukee. Jacob Mizorowski is going to start game number five.
11:59
Speaker 1: That is the flamethrowing human dynamo on the mound. So
12:06
Speaker 1: if you can somehow... Just foul pitches off and knock
12:11
Speaker 1: him out of the game and get some runs and
12:13
Speaker 1: then win that game. And it's still 3-2. You've still
12:16
Speaker 1: got to win two more games. That is a big
12:18
Speaker 1: body blow, body blow, body blow to the Brewers if
12:22
Speaker 1: they don't win that game. That's a, hey, we're going
12:24
Speaker 1: to win. We're fine. We got the Miz on the mound.
12:28
Speaker 1: And then if they screw that up, all of a
12:31
Speaker 1: sudden you're like, well, wait a minute. We're in stranger
12:34
Speaker 1: danger at that particular point. So again, if Yandy Diaz
12:39
Speaker 1: and his band of desperados can knock off the Miz
12:43
Speaker 1: in Game 5, look out below. The entire psychological complexion changes.
12:53
Speaker 1: Not to use psychobabble in the World Series, but the
12:55
Speaker 1: pendulum does then swing in favor of Tampa Bay at
13:00
Speaker 1: that particular point, and the pressure shifts like a tectonic
13:04
Speaker 1: plate directly under the Milwaukee baseball team. Now, are we
13:08
Speaker 1: getting ahead of ourselves? No, we have a talk show
13:10
Speaker 1: to do. We are not getting ahead of ourselves. But
13:12
Speaker 1: at that point, suddenly the Brewers start thinking about, wait
13:15
Speaker 1: a minute, instead of champagne showers, instead of that, they're
13:20
Speaker 1: thinking about, well, we might end up drowning in a
13:23
Speaker 1: thing of cheese fondue if we don't get one more
13:26
Speaker 1: win here. And so, remember, the raise, the obituary has
13:31
Speaker 1: already been published here. They've already written it. They put
13:34
Speaker 1: it online. It's gone live. And the funeral director has
13:39
Speaker 1: the paperwork all signed for Tampa Bay. And Kevin Cash was,
13:43
Speaker 1: at this point, supposed to be picking up his fishing boat.
13:48
Speaker 1: He's got a nice little pontoon boat he's going to
13:49
Speaker 1: go out and enjoy there. But instead, the Rays have,
13:53
Speaker 1: for the moment, climbed out of the World Series graveyard,
13:58
Speaker 1: dusted off their uniforms, and started making just a little
14:02
Speaker 1: bit of noise. Just a wee bit of noise for
14:05
Speaker 1: the the team from Tampa. So they're just a little bit...
14:10
Speaker 1: The Brewers obviously still have the upper hand. This would
14:13
Speaker 1: be an all-time historical choke job if they don't get
14:16
Speaker 1: this done. But I'm seeing a path, is what I'm saying.
14:19
Speaker 1: And Tampa Bay has something that is very, very dangerous.
14:25
Speaker 1: They have absolutely nothing to lose at this point because
14:28
Speaker 1: they've already lost the World Series in the eyes of
14:30
Speaker 1: every man, woman, and child who's reasonable. They've lost the
14:34
Speaker 1: World Series.
14:35
Speaker 2: So.
14:36
Speaker 1: There's nothing that is more dangerous than someone that has
14:39
Speaker 1: nothing to lose. And so the brew crew better finish
14:42
Speaker 1: their dinner. You got to eat your dinner. All right?
14:47
Speaker 1: Eat your dinner. Because the food is going to start
14:49
Speaker 1: fighting back here.
14:51
Speaker 6: It is.
14:51
Speaker 1: All right, last word. Let's go wide angle lens, big picture.
14:55
Speaker 1: We're going to go big picture here on the World Series.
14:58
Speaker 1: The question. Have Junior Caminero's Tampa Bay Rays snatched momentum back.
15:06
Speaker 1: The reason I bring this up, so I was clicking around.
15:11
Speaker 1: I said, oh, the Rays grabbed the momentum in the
15:13
Speaker 1: World Series. I saw this all over. I'm reading this.
15:15
Speaker 1: I'm like, my God, my eyeballs are popping out of
15:17
Speaker 1: my head. I'm like, what are we doing? Why are
15:20
Speaker 1: we doing that again? You just told me the Brewers
15:23
Speaker 1: had all the momentum. Now you're telling me the Rays
15:26
Speaker 1: have all the momentum? You losers! So to answer the question,
15:31
Speaker 1: have Junior Caminero and the Rays snatched momentum in the
15:37
Speaker 1: World Series, please. It's early. I've got a lot of
15:42
Speaker 1: talk ready to do tonight. I don't want to lose
15:45
Speaker 1: my mind here. But if you actually believe that the
15:48
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay baseball team snatched momentum in the World Series,
15:52
Speaker 1: I have a bridge. I have a nice bridge here.
15:57
Speaker 1: that goes from one side of Nebraska to the other
16:00
Speaker 1: side of Nebraska, I'd like to sell you. Don't give
16:03
Speaker 1: me that absolute malarkey. And how many times do we
16:08
Speaker 1: have to hear when a team wins, oh, they have
16:09
Speaker 1: all the momentum. Just say they won. You don't have
16:12
Speaker 1: to say they have the momentum. They won. That's it.
16:14
Speaker 1: They won. No momentum. Stupid. It's ridiculous. You can't steal momentum.
16:24
Speaker 1: You can't steal something that doesn't exist. You can't see it.
16:28
Speaker 1: You can't touch it. You can't smell it. You can't
16:31
Speaker 1: steal it. So it's just a bunch of, again, malarkey.
16:37
Speaker 1: Momentum is the Loch Ness monster of professional sports. And
16:43
Speaker 1: you dumb people keep buying it. Stop buying it. Everybody
16:49
Speaker 1: claims they've seen... It's like the Loch Ness Monster. People say, well,
16:52
Speaker 1: I've seen the Loch Ness Monster. They have gift shops
16:54
Speaker 1: selling little Loch Ness Monster things and all that. And, oh,
16:57
Speaker 1: I've seen it swimming around. Oh, yeah, everyone's seen it.
16:59
Speaker 7: Yeah.
17:00
Speaker 1: Except nobody can actually produce, like, a dead body of it,
17:03
Speaker 1: or they can't catch it. No, nothing. There's just grainy
17:07
Speaker 1: photos and video clips and all that. Now, the one advantage...
17:11
Speaker 1: I was spinning my mind, which is very dangerous, and
17:15
Speaker 1: I thought... Not to go too hard on Sporto guy,
17:18
Speaker 1: because I don't want to be Sporto guy. Because nobody
17:19
Speaker 1: wants to hear Sporto guy on the radio. That's a
17:21
Speaker 1: death in sports radio if you're Sporto guy. You don't
17:24
Speaker 1: want to be Sporto guy. That said, there is an
17:27
Speaker 1: advantage that Tampa Bay has with every extra inning in
17:33
Speaker 1: the World Series. And it's the fact that they're more
17:37
Speaker 1: familiar with the vaunted Brewers bullpen. And Pat Murphy has
17:44
Speaker 1: been burning through... those high leverage Milwaukee relief pitchers, and
17:50
Speaker 1: he's used them early enough. I don't blame him. Why
17:52
Speaker 1: wouldn't you? They're supposedly really good. You listen to the broadcast,
17:56
Speaker 1: and this is like the greatest thing ever, the way
17:58
Speaker 1: they talk about it on the TV broadcast. So fine.
18:02
Speaker 1: Pat Murphy's running through these high leverage relief pitchers, and
18:05
Speaker 1: the more that the Tampa Bay Ray hitters see the
18:09
Speaker 1: same arms over and over and over, no matter how
18:13
Speaker 1: good you are, I remember back when I was around baseball,
18:16
Speaker 1: I said, no matter how good a guy is on
18:18
Speaker 1: the mound, the more that you see the person, the
18:21
Speaker 1: more likely you're going to be able to figure things out.
18:23
Speaker 4: Right.
18:23
Speaker 1: And the closer you get to solving the puzzle. And
18:26
Speaker 1: so that is a concern because you take that bullpen
18:29
Speaker 1: away from the Brewers. All of a sudden, like, what
18:30
Speaker 1: do you got? Like every single time, every single time
18:35
Speaker 1: this thing bleeds into extra innings or in this case,
18:39
Speaker 1: an extra game now. Milwaukee, they're not losing some magical vibes.
18:47
Speaker 1: They're just in a situation where the more they have
18:51
Speaker 1: to play, they get closer to tight tuchus syndrome. You
18:54
Speaker 1: get that tight sphincter. And then all of a sudden
18:58
Speaker 1: the Rays start figuring out your bullpen. I'm like, oh,
19:00
Speaker 1: my God. What has happened? We're not there quite yet.
19:05
Speaker 1: If the Rays are able to beat the Miz, then
19:08
Speaker 1: it's panic at the brewery. Panic at the brewery at
19:13
Speaker 1: that particular point. It is the Ben Maller Show. If
19:16

21:37
Speaker 7: Be sure to catch live editions of the Ben Maler
21:39
Speaker 7: Show weekdays at 2 a.m. Eastern, 11 p.m. Pacific on
21:43
Speaker 7: Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
21:47
Speaker 4: Welcome to Football Doesn't Lie.
21:49
Speaker 8: Hi, I'm Bill Parcells.
21:51
Speaker 4: And I'm Catherine Zazzora.
21:53
Speaker 8: I have a lot of experience in the game of football, Catherine.
21:56
Speaker 4: And I'm learning the game with Bill's help. Every week,
21:59
Speaker 4: we're going to talk about the NFL slate through the
22:02
Speaker 4: lens of Bill's expertise as he coaches me from novice
22:05
Speaker 4: fan to football expert over the course of the season.
22:08
Speaker 8: You know, I'm looking forward to this show, Catherine, and
22:10
Speaker 8: hopefully we can give our audience a little in-depth look
22:14
Speaker 8: into the inner sanctum of pro football that they can't
22:17
Speaker 8: get anywhere else.
22:18
Speaker 4: Tune in every Thursday for unfiltered stories from Coach Parcells,
22:21
Speaker 4: analysis on the state of the modern game, and education
22:24
Speaker 4: on how football really works.
22:27
Speaker 6: Continuity is very important. But what happens when you get
22:31
Speaker 6: good coaches on your staff and people begin to recognize them,
22:35
Speaker 6: then they want to hire them. And then you can't
22:38
Speaker 6: stop a guy from trying to improve himself, but you
22:41
Speaker 6: have to replace them.
22:43
Speaker 4: Because once you understand what's going on inside the mind
22:46
Speaker 4: of the coaches, you'll understand more about the whole game.
22:49
Speaker 6: So all aspects can be discussed.
22:51
Speaker 8: The only thing I haven't done, because I didn't have
22:54
Speaker 8: enough money, I don't own the team. I never owned
22:57
Speaker 8: a team.
22:58
Speaker 4: Listen to Football Doesn't Lie on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,
23:02
Speaker 4: or wherever you get your podcasts.

Speaker 1: A lot of you seem to think you can only
23:19
Speaker 1: call up on a newbie night. You're not allowed to
23:21
Speaker 1: call other than a newbie night, which is fine.
23:23

23:28
Speaker 1: call the show.

24:27
Speaker 1: Loop at All Bronco Fan. That's All Bronco Fan. Your
24:32
Speaker 1: comments can and will be used against you in the
24:34
Speaker 1: court of sports radio. So please act accordingly. I did
24:41
Speaker 1: see the clip, which is going around from the Brewers
24:45
Speaker 1: locker room, where the people that work behind the scenes
24:50
Speaker 1: had to scramble because it was all set up. They
24:52
Speaker 1: were all ready to have these celebrations. as the Brewers
24:57
Speaker 1: were on pace to win the World Series, that home
25:01
Speaker 1: run by Cooper, and almost got it done, but no.
25:06
Speaker 1: And so they had to rush all the champagne, the
25:10
Speaker 1: championship trophy, all the different, I don't know if the
25:13
Speaker 1: trophy was in there, but all the alcohol and the supplies,
25:17
Speaker 1: they had to hurry up and get it out of
25:19
Speaker 1: the Brewers' locker room. after the 12th inning collapsed. I
25:23
Speaker 1: actually witnessed that years ago. I'm going to date myself,
25:26
Speaker 1: but who cares? I was at the World Series in
25:28
Speaker 1: the 90s. There was a team called the Florida Marlins.
25:31
Speaker 1: They played a team called the Cleveland Indians. They don't
25:33
Speaker 1: exist anymore because you wokesters. But they played a Game
25:37
Speaker 1: 7 World Series in Miami, and I happened to be
25:41
Speaker 1: at that World Series. And the team from Cleveland, then
25:46
Speaker 1: known as the Indians... We're a few outs away from
25:48
Speaker 1: winning the World Series. They had a guy named Jose
25:51
Speaker 1: Mesa on the mound, their closer, and he rode the
25:54
Speaker 1: Vomit Comet and blew it, and the Marlins ended up winning.
25:58
Speaker 1: But they had to rip all the tarps, the plastic
26:01
Speaker 1: tarps off, and there were people screaming profanity from the
26:04
Speaker 1: visiting locker room there. in Miami, and I still remember
26:09
Speaker 1: fond memories of them scrambling to try to rip all
26:12
Speaker 1: the plastic down and get the alcohol out of there.
26:17
Speaker 1: It was very amusing to me, and there we were.
26:20
Speaker 1: They had it in the game last night or tonight,
26:25
Speaker 1: depending on how you look at it, because we haven't
26:26
Speaker 1: been to bed yet. Also, we have an injury update
26:30
Speaker 1: on Junior Caminero, who looked to hurt himself at the end.
26:35
Speaker 1: At the end of Game 4, the Ortiz defensive blunder,
26:42
Speaker 1: and then Junior Caminero said, quote, even if my foot
26:45
Speaker 1: is broken, I am playing in Game 5. All right, good.
26:52
Speaker 1: Go out there and play. Knock it out. Just knock
26:55
Speaker 1: it out of the park, and good luck. Just good
26:58
Speaker 1: luck on that. You should, if you can play. It's
27:01
Speaker 1: not done very well here. We'll see if he does better.
27:03
Speaker 1: Jill writes in, Says, Maller, the Brewers will be fine.
27:07
Speaker 1: Stop being so dramatic, Ben. By the way, and then
27:13
Speaker 1: she takes a shot, Yankee fan Jill, at Joe Davis
27:16
Speaker 1: and John Small. So I'm not going to read that part.
27:19
Speaker 1: Come on, Joe. What do you want me to do?
27:20
Speaker 1: You want me to get in trouble? You trying to
27:21
Speaker 1: get me in trouble? Is that what you're trying to do? No,
27:23
Speaker 1: it's fine. I'm not the biggest Joe Davis fan in
27:25
Speaker 1: the world, but it's fine. It's okay. Spock's Weed writes in, says,
27:31
Speaker 1: Only Mallor can make this event into a victory for
27:34
Speaker 1: all Ben's. Congratulations to all Ben's. Thank you. We need
27:39
Speaker 1: to celebrate. We need to celebrate when Ben's do something great.
27:43
Speaker 1: The Baltimore Freeloader account writes in on Anubi90, says, The
27:46
Speaker 1: Extra World Series game is going to be great for
27:48
Speaker 1: the TV ratings. Dozens more people will tune in. The
27:53
Speaker 1: Rays staving off elimination also means an extra free meal
27:57
Speaker 1: for the media freeloaders and, more importantly, an extra day
28:01
Speaker 1: of golf for John Smoltz. The WNBA Finals has nothing
28:07
Speaker 1: on this series. All right. Chip in the Q's writes in,
28:10
Speaker 1: says A-plus on the Mallard monologue. This will be a
28:13
Speaker 1: gentleman's sweep coming up. That's an NBA term. Fargo Pete.
28:19
Speaker 1: Writes in, he says, after the game, I noticed you
28:23
Speaker 1: could no longer stave off learning the names of the
28:27
Speaker 1: devil rays, Fargo Pete says. Yeah, I think we're good.
28:31
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to the phones. We'll take some
28:33
Speaker 1: calls here. Let's start out with, let's go to Sam,
28:37
Speaker 1: who's in the Valley of the Sun. It's a newbie night.
28:39
Speaker 1: It's all new callers. Hello, Sam.
28:41
Speaker 4: Welcome.
28:41
Speaker 1: You're on Fox Sports Radio. It's the Ben Maller Show. Hello, Sam.
28:45
Speaker 5: What's up, Ben? Sorry, the silly number says Mike Harmon. Wait, wait, wait.
28:51
Speaker 1: Mike Harmon?
28:53
Speaker 5: The number that you called for your line says the
28:56
Speaker 5: Fox Sports Mike Harmon show.
28:57
Speaker 2: I don't know.
28:58
Speaker 5: It just may be just because of that.
29:01
Speaker 1: How is that possible? Explain that to me. Your caller
29:04
Speaker 1: ID says Mike Harmon's name?
29:06
Speaker 5: Yeah, so when I typed in the Ben Maller call line, I...
29:11
Speaker 5: copied the number and called it, and it pops up
29:13
Speaker 5: as Fox Sports Mike Harmon.
29:15
Speaker 2: I don't know.
29:15
Speaker 1: Coop, can you explain why Mike Harmon's name would pop
29:18
Speaker 1: up on the phone? I can't, actually. Mike Harmon pays
29:23
Speaker 1: the phone bill around here.
29:24
Speaker 5: It might be what I have the number saved as, honestly.
29:26
Speaker 5: I might have saved it as that.
29:27
Speaker 8: I don't know.
29:27
Speaker 5: I just know it's the Fox Sports.
29:28
Speaker 1: Well, we understand Harmon is offered to pay the phone bill.
29:31
Speaker 1: He sells some baseball cards to pay the phone bill,
29:34
Speaker 1: so we're good on that.
29:35
Speaker 6: Yeah.
29:35
Speaker 5: So I just wanted to talk about David Hamilton.
29:38
Speaker 7: He had that.
29:40
Speaker 5: Error, and I actually watched that part of the game,
29:43
Speaker 5: and then I've been doing Uber Eats the rest of
29:44
Speaker 5: the night listening on the radio. And he made up
29:47
Speaker 5: for it right away, you know, got a home run.
29:49
Speaker 5: And then they took him out, I saw, in the
29:51
Speaker 5: ninth inning for Andrew Vaughn when Cooper Pratt got caught
29:56
Speaker 5: stealing or Bowers got caught stealing, whoever it was. and
29:59
Speaker 5: then basically he wasn't in the game, and so then Ortiz,
30:03
Speaker 5: of course, makes that error in the 12. I just wonder, like,
30:06
Speaker 5: what if Hamilton, I don't know how you take a
30:08
Speaker 5: guy out who tied the game for you after whatever,
30:11
Speaker 5: and it just blows my mind that they took.
30:13
Speaker 9: Him out of the game.
30:14
Speaker 1: Clearly, bad job by Pat Murphy there. More importantly, what
30:17
Speaker 1: are people ordering for food right now? Are you in Phoenix,
30:20
Speaker 1: I assume, in the Phoenix area? Where are you at?
30:21
Speaker 5: Santan Valley. I'm, like, outside of Queen Creek. It's like a...
30:25
Speaker 5: Like an hour or so.
30:26
Speaker 1: Okay, all right. So you're outside. So what's the top
30:30
Speaker 1: food order tonight? I'd say I got.
30:32
Speaker 5: Some Wingstop, some Taco Bell, some, you know, I usually
30:36
Speaker 5: get a lot of Jack in the Box late at
30:38
Speaker 5: night like this. You know, not midnight yet, but... The munchies.
30:43
Speaker 1: You've got to have the munchies. Late-night munchies, right? Come on.
30:45
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's when people tip well, too, because they might
30:48
Speaker 5: be a little under the influence and might tip a
30:51
Speaker 5: little more.
30:52
Speaker 1: My man, look at you. You're doing the late-night. You
30:55
Speaker 1: get those big tips. They want the jumbo jacks is
30:57
Speaker 1: what they want.
30:58
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I get to listen to guys like you
31:01
Speaker 5: and you guys before. It's always nice being able to
31:04
Speaker 5: listen to Fox Sports. I listen to Dan Patrick, all
31:07
Speaker 5: you guys.
31:08
Speaker 1: God bless you, sir. Thank you. I hope you get
31:10
Speaker 1: a massive tip, and they treat you very well. So
31:14
Speaker 1: thank you.
31:14
Speaker 3: Thank you so much, man. I love you, man.
31:16
Speaker 5: You have a good one.
31:17
Speaker 1: You too. How about that? It was so nice on
31:19
Speaker 1: newbie night. The a-holes had the night off. No a-holes.
31:23
Speaker 1: It's all nice people.
31:25
Speaker 7: Great.
31:27
Speaker 1: I read a book about infomercials years ago, because I'm
31:30
Speaker 1: a loser. And they said the reason that the infomercials
31:34
Speaker 1: were so successful back, this is back in like the
31:36
Speaker 1: 80s and the 90s, early 2000s, I don't know if
31:39
Speaker 1: they even do that these days, is because at night
31:43
Speaker 1: when people can't sleep, and back in the old days
31:46
Speaker 1: there was no internet, so they'd turn on the television
31:48
Speaker 1: and they'd put on infomercials, and their defense system goes
31:52
Speaker 1: down at night. The defense system goes down, and people
31:55
Speaker 1: are willing to spend more money on things that they
31:58
Speaker 1: know they shouldn't spend the money on at night Whereas
32:02
Speaker 1: during the day, you don't do that. Just an interesting quirk.
32:06
Speaker 1: We have a fun fact on David Hamilton. Does anyone
32:09
Speaker 1: want a fun fact on David Hamilton? So David Hamilton
32:13
Speaker 1: had four home runs in 121 regular season games for
32:19
Speaker 1: the Milwaukee Brewers. Four home runs. David Hamilton in eight
32:23
Speaker 1: playoff games has two home runs for the Milwaukee Brewers.
32:28
Speaker 1: I'm told that's good. I'm told that's good. Let's say
32:31
Speaker 1: hello to Eenie, Meenie, Miney, Moe. Let's say hello to Travis,
32:37
Speaker 1: who's in Orlando. What's going on, Travis?
32:40
Speaker 7: Welcome.
32:40
Speaker 1: It's a newbie night. It's all new callers.
32:42
Speaker 5: Hello.
32:43
Speaker 3: Can you hear me? Am I on?
32:44
Speaker 2: Is this working?
32:45
Speaker 1: Hello? Is the phone working?
32:47
Speaker 2: Is that?
32:48
Speaker 1: I don't know.
32:49
Speaker 2: I just want to say that was a great game
32:52
Speaker 2: by the Rays and the Brewers. And outside of that
32:56
Speaker 2: disastrous inning in the last game, every game has been
33:01
Speaker 2: pretty much a one-run game. This is a much closer
33:04
Speaker 2: series than people think. And don't write off the Rays.
33:09
Speaker 2: Chandler Simpson, MVP. And I'm going to leave it short
33:13
Speaker 2: and sweet at that.
33:14
Speaker 1: All right. There you go. We've all got it mapped out.
33:16
Speaker 1: You take that, Jill, in Minnesota, trashing the Rays. Travis
33:20
Speaker 1: in Orlando says the Rays are very much alive. They're
33:24
Speaker 1: very much alive, those Tampa Bay Rays. It's a newbie night.
33:30
Speaker 1: 877-99 on Fox. I have something in common with David Ortiz,
33:35
Speaker 1: Big Papi. And what is that, you ask? Well, it
33:39
Speaker 1: was revealed if you were watching the Fox broadcast, David
33:44
Speaker 1: Ortiz had a revelation. What was that revelation? Were you
33:48
Speaker 1: paying attention?
33:50
Speaker 3: No?
33:51
Speaker 1: You were not paying attention? It's a bad job by you.
33:55
Speaker 1: Big Papi was trapped in an elevator. He got stuck
34:00
Speaker 1: in an elevator prior to Game 4 of the World Series.
34:04
Speaker 1: And he said on the Fox pregame show, he told
34:07
Speaker 1: the Fox pregame crew that twice, not once, twice he
34:11
Speaker 1: got stuck in an elevator. And they were going around
34:17
Speaker 1: yapping about that. I've been stuck in an elevator. Anyone
34:20
Speaker 1: else been stuck in an elevator? I was stuck in
34:21
Speaker 1: an elevator at LAX coming back from a trip. We
34:25
Speaker 1: got stuck. It was my parents. My parents were still alive.
34:27
Speaker 1: We were stuck in an elevator and had to wait
34:30
Speaker 1: for the, The fire department. However, they did actually get
34:33
Speaker 1: there relatively quickly. It wasn't like we were there for
34:35
Speaker 1: a long. It was like an hour, maybe less than
34:37
Speaker 1: an hour. I've only had two incidences.
34:40
Speaker 4: One of them, the guy stopped the elevator on purpose.
34:42
Speaker 1: I didn't know there was an emergency stop button, but
34:44
Speaker 1: he definitely made it seem like there was. And then
34:48
Speaker 1: last year on my birthday, remember the Queen Mary? Oh,
34:50
Speaker 1: that's right. Yeah, we had a big last birthday.
34:53
Speaker 3: My friend Trevor got stuck in that elevator for almost
34:57
Speaker 3: two hours.
34:58
Speaker 1: Not a good elevator. Not an old. It seems like
35:01
Speaker 1: they haven't kept up on that elevator there. Yeah, so
35:04
Speaker 1: I have something in common. So does Lorena in the
