  Speaker 1: here in our number one, we go to San Diego,

  Speaker 1: where the Padres were looking to stave off elimination. Milwaukee

  Speaker 1: looking to advance. And it does go to the Padres.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Who gets the biggest bag of blame, though? The blame
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: cheese curds for Pat Murphy's Brewers as they lose a
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: chance to win and advance. Also, who's smiling the biggest
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: after Manny Machado's Padres were able to stay alive, stay alive,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: stay alive? We'll talk about that. And we'll leave that
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: series to go to Philadelphia. Why did Alice Cora, the
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: ex-Red Sox manager, yet again turn down Dave Dombrowski and

• 4:08
  Speaker 1: late story this hour from San Diego, where the Padres
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: trying to stave off elimination. The only time we use
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: the word stave is in sportscasting. Is there any other
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: reason in life to use the word stave? Years ago.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: when I did a very popular round-robin NFL show on Sunday,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: we were given the gift of talking to all the
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: big Fox broadcasters at the time, and one of the
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: biggest was Joe Buck, and we had Joe on, and
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: we asked him, we said, Joe, do you ever use
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: the term stave in your day-to-day life? And he was
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: flummoxed by that question, as I remember. But that's what
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: was on the line there. Padres trying to stave off elimination,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Brewers looking to close out The pod squad in Game
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: 3 of the NLDS punched their ticket to the NLCS,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: the Final Four. It was on Fox! Did you watch?
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: No?
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: You were not?
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Why not? Okay, that's fine. So Jake Cronenworth hits the
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: tie-breaking home run. Bye-bye! And that was the difference. As
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Michael King, proving that not every baseball player is a wuss,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Michael King put on his big boy pants and went
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: out there and pitched the final two innings on one
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: day of rest. That's how desperate the Padres are. They're like, listen,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: we are cooked here. We got to stay alive. So
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: King answered the call. One day of rest. And San
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Diego does stave off playoff elimination. They get the 4-3 victory,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: biting their fingernails down to the cuticles as they beat
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: the Brewers in Game 3 of the NL Divisional Series.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Xander Bogarts turned a game-ending double play. At shortstop, the
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: ex-Red Sox back in the day there playing for the
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Padres here for many, many years. And got that done. Milwaukee,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: they were lurking in the shadows, but they could not
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: close it out. Couldn't. They blew the lead. And so
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Milwaukee loses. And that means the best of series now
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: two games to one. Game four will be coming up
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: on Wednesday night at Petco Park in San Diego. And
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: I did see some video the other day. They cleaned
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: out one of the homeless encampments, which was across the
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: street from the Padres ballpark. Wonder why they did that. Anyway,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: it's a regular season. It's okay to have the homeless
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: encampment right across the street from the ballpark. In the playoffs,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: apparently not. So if necessary, game five would be back
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: in Wisconsin on Friday. The better story, though, You know
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: where the better story is. The better story is in
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: the losing locker room. So that is where we will
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: begin our diatribe here. And with that being said, good
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: job on all points. Let us discuss the question. Who
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: gets the biggest bag of blamed cheese curds for Pat
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Murphy's Brewers? Who gets the biggest bag of blamed cheese
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: curds for the Pat Murphy-led Milwaukee Brewers? So I've got Volleyballs,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: we've got Rolex, and we also have, always popular, the delicious...
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Hina Kolata. And we will combine all of these things together,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: and we are going to have a wonderful, wonderful beach tent.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: You know those beach tents where they're like cabanas? You
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: can put them, you buy them, and pop up there.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: You can still use them in San Diego. It's still hot,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: real hot heat wave here in San Diego. SoCal recently.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: But we begin with this. Again, the question, who gets
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: the biggest bag of blamed cheese curds for Pat Murphy's Brewers? So,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: number one! Number one! <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL>
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: I said one! Number one! Can I get a one?
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Number one! So the Brewers' offense, even though they did
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: score three runs, they get the family-sized bag of curds.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: So congratulations there. The Brewers caught a bad case, not
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: of loving you, a bad case of unclutch. The unclutch
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: gene popped up for the Brewers at exactly the wrong time. Now,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Jackson Churrio, he, I guess, used too much of it.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: There's only so much. There's a finite amount of clutch.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: And Jackson Churrio was captain clutch the other day for
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: the Brewers. In game three, though. Milwaukee, they needed the
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: whole Justice League, and nobody showed up. The Padres practically
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: put a vacancy sign up there in the ratings, and
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Milwaukee still couldn't check in. They couldn't check in. They're
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: failing to score against the backside of that Padre bullpen,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: a guy on one day's rest, a Padre bullpen without...
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Mason Miller. More on that in a minute. The Brewers
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: left not one, not two, not three, not four, not five,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: not six. How about 11 men on base? I'm told
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: that's not good. I'm told that's not good. The Brewers
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: left so many men stranded. How many men stranded? They
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: left so many men stranded that they should have handed
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: out volleyballs and called everybody Wilson. My God. Championship teams.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: generally cash those checks. Now the Brewers are still in
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: good shape and all that, but with runners in scoring position,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: making those plays. and Milwaukee kept getting insufficient funds as
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: they were trying to get it done at that point.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: There was also a throw that was a mistake. Well,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: it was a battered bat, a shattered and battered bat.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: If you're watching the game, Cooper Pratt, the prodigy who
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: hasn't quite been a prodigy this year, he signed the
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: forever contract for Milwaukee, and his mistake there, his error,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: let Xander Bogart score an insurance run for the San
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Diego baseball team, and the magic there, not quite working
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: out on the road, which is the problem. The Brewers
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: have lost 12 straight postseason games. I think that's bad. Oh,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: you shouldn't say that, Maller. I know. I know. So,
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: a lot of losses there. Milwaukee should just stop staying
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: at hotels. And instead of spending the money on hotels,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: they should just book an exorcist is what they should
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: do at this particular point when they go on the road. Now,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: page two. To the San Diego side of things, here's
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: the question. Who is smiling... The biggest after Manny Machado
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: and the Padres did, as we said, stave off elimination,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: staying alive, staying alive. So the happiest Padre, it's not
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: even close. The happiest Padre was not even at the ballpark.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: He was out on paternity leave. He was pregnant. And
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: I hope it was a good pregnancy for him. Mason Miller. Yeah,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: the guy that choked the game away the other day,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: Mason Miller, had a Cheshire cat smile wherever he was,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: and he does owe, we determined he owes Michael King
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: a Rolex, a basket of fruit, and a box of chocolates,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: and possibly even a lifetime supply of fish tacos for
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: taking the mound on short rest and bailing out the Padres.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: Because that could have gone a much different direction there
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: if the bullpen implodes for the San Diego Padres. The
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: absence of Mason Miller. The absence of Mason Miller on
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: paternity leave becomes San Diego sports folklore. Man, we can't win.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: The Padres have never won a championship. Here's a team
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: they think is good enough, and they're in the divisional round,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: and their guy leaves to go on paternity leave. You
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: juxtapose Mason Miller bailing on the Padres with Yankees pitcher
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: Max Freed, whose woman there is also expecting birth of
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: the child there soon. Except Max Freed told the media
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: he refuses to abandon his Yankee teammates. And he's going
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: to pitch, despite the kid being inbound. He said, I'm
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: taking him out. I've worked it out. Everything's there. So
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: if the opposite had happened, this is all nuclear sports
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: radio plutonium is what it is. And you think this
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: has been an issue a long time. I don't know
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: if you know this, but women have been having babies
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: for a long time, I believe since the beginning of time.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: with the men and women getting together and making whoopee
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: and all that, and the birds and the bees. So
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: I remember there was a... I was reminded of this, actually.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: I didn't remember, but I was reminded by one of
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: our friends here that Oral Hershiser, back in 1988, his
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: wife was expecting the birth of a child. That's what happens.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: And this is when Kershaw was in the streak for
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: the most consecutive scoreless innings that he set that particular year,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: broke the record. and he and the wife made a
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: deal where they induced labor on a day he wasn't
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: pitching so he could be there on the map but
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: that was a different time you know priorities have obviously
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: changed for for many and it's not as big a
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: deal to show up to work and you know not
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: bail on your teammates and all that stuff so i
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: get it i understand the world's changed and A lot
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: of you think that's great that Mason Miller bailed on
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: his teammates. But the bottom line is, listen, it worked
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: out for him. So it worked out for him, and
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: it's good. There is an alternative universe. There is an
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: alternative universe where the furious fans there have their pitchforks
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: out in one hand, And in the other hand, they
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: have a bag of fish tacos and they're chasing after
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: Miller with pitchforks and torches and a cloud of fish
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: tacos running him out of San Diego, running him right
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: to the county line. Get out of here. Instead, he
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: avoids Mason Miller becoming a trivia question that nobody wants
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: on the back of their baseball card. Who's the guy
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: that didn't show up, the all-star that didn't show up
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: to the Padres when they faced elimination and their bullpen
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: blew the game? That didn't happen. Now, another question some
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: of you brought up. Well, the Padres have all the
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: momentum now. They won this game. They've got all the momentum. No. Remember,
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: this is a refresher course. Momentum is baseball's imaginary friend.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: Nobody can prove it exists. You know when you go
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: down and you see people down on their luck and
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: they've done a lot of fentanyl and crack and they're
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: talking to themselves? In their heads, they're talking to another person.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: We can't see that other person. Now, it's possible there
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: is someone actually there. We can't see them. And we've
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: determined as a society that that's not reality. And you
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: all told me the Padres had all the momentum when
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: they'd won, what, 19 of 22 at the end of
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: the regular season, the San Diego baseball team, and Had
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: all the momentum, and then they rode the vomit comet
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: as they blew two games in dramatic fashion against the
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: Milwaukee Brewers. So why would they lose the momentum? Makes
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: no sense. All right, final point to Philadelphia. What are
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: you doing in Philadelphia? Is this about LeBron? No, it
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: is not about LeBron. Is it about the Eagles? No,
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: we'll get to them later. Believe it or not, the
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: Philadelphia Phillies have squirreled away some of the headlines here.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: Did you hear the news? Alex Cora, the man that
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: Dave Dombrowski wanted to be the next Phillies manager. Well,
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: it turns out that Alex Cora has let Dave Dombrowski
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: know the news. Did you hear this? Big, big storyline
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: in baseball. Alex Cora. has informed the Philadelphia Phillies he
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: doesn't want the job. OMG! Yeah, he will not be
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: taking the Phillies' 2027 job, if you believe the reporting.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: He told the Philadelphia general manager, Dave Dombrowski, his Boston buddy,
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: that he plans to take the entire season off. A
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: nice sabbatical. Wouldn't that be great? Your job. A lot
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: of you guys work two or three jobs here. You
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: listen on the overnight and You're busting your ass just
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: trying to pay the bills. And wouldn't it be great
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: to be Alex Cora and just like, oh, I've got
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: FU money. I'm just not going to work for a year.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: Just take it off. That's it. Wouldn't that be nice? Yeah, well,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: he's doing it. And that's it. So this is essentially
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: now Alex Cora turning down the Phillies for the second time. Remember,
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: he got poleaxed by the Red Sox, and then the Phillies,
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: Dave Dombrowski's like, well, let's hire this guy. Hey, how
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: would you like to manage the Phillies? Yeah, I'm good.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: He didn't want to manage the team. And he told
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: Dave Dombrowski that, I'm good. I'm going to take, again, sabbatical.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: I'm out of here. So he rejected the job back
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: in April and wanted to spend the summer with his family.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: I always love, I want to spend time with my family.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: What a bull crap excuse that is. All right, so
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: the question, why did Alice Corr really turn down the
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: Philadelphia Phillies jobs? After a minutes-long deliberation of the available information,
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: we have determined that he turned the job down because
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: of the golden parachute. I believe the Red Sox are
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: paying Cora $ 7 million. whether he manages, whether he sits
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: on a stool and picks his nose, picks giant boogers
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: out of his nose the entire summer. They're paying him
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: $ 7 million. That is a golden parachute, if I ever
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: heard one, from the Red Sox. So that means he
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: can afford to be a picky eater. And as a
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: picky eater, you don't have to eat the broccoli and
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: the cauliflower. I don't want the broccoli and the cauliflower.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: I said you don't have to eat it. You can
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: be a picky eater. Okay, fine. So why inherit somebody
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: else's garbage? Just a classic garage, garbage sale there. And
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: you can just sit on the beach in your banana
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: hammock collecting all that money from John Henry and the
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: Red Sox. So rejecting Dave Dombrowski again is also a
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: vote of no confidence for the Philadelphia Phillies and their
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: chances in 2027. Coral took a look at that roster
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: and he said, wait a minute. That job blows. There
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: she blows, he said, for that job. And a lot
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: of dead weight. Guys that had been good called them has-beens.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: And players that are aging in front of our eyes.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: And so the window of opportunity, it's not completely closed.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of fog on it. There's a lot
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: of fog on it. It's a manual window. It's a
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: manual window, so it's a bit of a problem. Bryce Harper,
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: Trey Turner. who are not getting any younger, and their
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: production is not going to get any better. Otherwise, this
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: is not some turnkey operation. If it was a good job,
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: Alex Cora would have taken the job. It was not.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: This is not turnkey where Cora walks into Philadelphia and
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: just strolls on in, does the pimp walk, and pushes
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: the magic button, and then they schedule a parade, and
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: it's off to the races. He knows the game. He
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: knows the game. Now, he might be wrong about this,
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: but he knows the game. And you take the cushy job,
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: you win, you're a genius. Take the Philadelphia Phillies job,
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: you flop the old flop-a-roo in Philadelphia with that aging roster,
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: and suddenly the baseball intelligentsia decides the only reason the
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: Red Sox won in 2018 is because they cheated and
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: that's it and that's ancient history and then cora will
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: just bore us all on television he'll get some no-show
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: job at nbc where he shows up and just spews
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: cliches all the time which a lot of you dummies
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: like and then he'll get paid for that and it's
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: still possible to take a broadcasting job and just wait
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: wait for one of the good jobs to open up
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: Why volunteer for the death sentence, the electric chair, when, again,
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: Boston is paying you 7 million dead presidents to not worry.
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: You can sit on the beach and have a bunch
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: of pina coladas and just enjoy yourself, have some appetizers
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: and knock yourself out. It is the Ben Maller Show.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: We'll talk about that. Also, anything else baseball related, the
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: Yankees back out of here against the Tampa Bay Rays.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: They're on the brink of elimination in that series. Cleveland
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: also facing the Grim Reaper. Got all the teams in
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: action here. Dodgers won last night over Chris Sale, and
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: the Braves will take your calls. And there's two lines
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: open for the first time all night. Why is that?
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: Must not want to talk Padres. I don't blame you.
• 21:02

  Speaker 1: get to that. And a Major League Baseball player under investigation.
• 21:42

• 24:19
  Speaker 1: Koopa Loop is here at all. Bronco fan, I'm happy
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: to report the telestrator has been moved. So, or the, yeah.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: I found out why it was in there. Well, okay.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: What was going on? So the, what did we know?
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: Var had to do a specific read from the teleprompter yesterday. Oh,
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: the teleprompter. All right. So not the, I said telestrator,
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: but teleprompter. So he had to read. Did his dog,
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: he brought his dog. Biggest dog.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: I've seen some big dogs in my days. That was,
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: that was top two for sure. That's it. The dog's
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: head was massive. Like the biggest head on a dog
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: I have seen. And I got in trouble, though, because
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: the dog... I don't even know what LeVar's dog's name is. Sticks. Sticks.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: All right. That's a good name. So LeVar Arrington, who
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: works on The Morning Show, he brought his dog in.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: So the dog smelled moxie. So the dog was kind
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: of offended because moxie lays on my legs while I get... Oh, no.
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: So that was a problem. I don't want to offend
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: that dog. Right? So then I got home, and then
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: Moxie was offended. Because Moxie... Oh, no! These freaking dogs,
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: the smelling on these dogs is unbelievable. So Moxie smelled sticks,
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: and that offended Moxie. So I offended both dogs. So
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: I don't know how I pulled that off, but good-looking dog.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: So LeVar, he had to read off the prompter, really.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: That's wild. Interesting. And there was Elijah on the other
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: end from somewhere else who was controlling the teleprompter. So... Yeah,
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: pretty cool stuff. Yeah, those guys, man. I'll tell you,
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: the internet guys. Our guy Sagar. I love Sagar. Sagar's great.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: You know, Sagar's in his pajamas at home while we're
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: doing this.
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: Luckiest man alive.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: He's like, you going in? Yeah, I'm going in. Yeah,
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: I'll be in there. Why not? What the heck? Anyway,
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: it is the Bane-Mallor show as we're hanging out together.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: We've got Mallorley Third Degree coming up in a little bit.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: And Mallor prop guy writes in, he says, Mallor, were
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: you reading my star chart? You know me all too well. Yes,
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: every weekend I eagerly await the Daily Mana, which is
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: the Ben Mallor fifth hour podcast. I must listen to it.

  Speaker 1: They are moving on to the NLCS today. Today, today, today.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: What else do we have? Michael in Tulsa says, Ben,
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: other than stave, great words used in sports. I think
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: that's what he meant. He didn't put the in in there.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: Our momentum, go to the tape, and we have to
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: do better. We haven't played our game, and it's on me.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: There are two nearly, there are not nearly enough cliches, rather,
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: Michael said. Not nearly enough cliches to compare to your nicknames.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: I'm sure FergDog agrees. Well, it sounds like, to me, you,
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: Michael in Tulsa, would like to hear our nickname rundown.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: So the listener's always right. So I am known, among
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: other things, as the spin master of misinformation, the bantering broadcaster,

• 28:17
  Speaker 1: and the Mad Hatter of Sports Chatter. He's the daddy.
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: That's only half of my nicknames. Are you impressed, Anthony?
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: You want me to give more nicknames? What do you
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: want me to talk about, Anthony? What do you want
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: me to talk about? Come on, no? Nothing? Hmm. See,
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: that's where you play the drop. Oh, I thought he
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: was on the phone. I put the phone line up. Sorry,
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: my bad. I'm trying to build up. See, I want

• 28:56
  Speaker 1: Michael in Tulsa. Curmudgeon Wayne from Duluth. where the water
• 29:00

• 29:05
  Speaker 1: Mallor holding in his urge to shift to LeBron James
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: bowel movements. That's good use of AI, by the way.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: I like that. These guys are all putting my image
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: on AI. I have smoke coming out of my ears.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: Let me click on that. I'm going to save that.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: I like that image. It's made with, was that grok?
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: I don't know what kind of AI you used. I
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: have no idea. Let's see. Alf is prodigious in this department.

• 29:36
  Speaker 1: do we have? Let's see. Page down. Nature Boy says

  Speaker 1: else do we have? Page down. Can't read that. Oh,

• 29:52
  Speaker 1: Here's a I believe he's still living abroad across the
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: Atlantic Ocean. We say hello to Legally Blind Christopher. Hello,
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: Legally Blind Christopher. Mr.
• 30:05
  Speaker 5: Maller, going down memory lane of all your nicknames, it
• 30:08
  Speaker 5: just amazes me how you still remember that after so
• 30:11
  Speaker 5: many years.
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: Well, I have other nicknames. Do you want the rest
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: of the nicknames if you want? No, no, no.
• 30:17
  Speaker 5: I remember you doing that many different times. I'm just
• 30:21
  Speaker 5: calling to say congratulations to your Dodgers. It's the one
• 30:24
  Speaker 5: thing I can enjoy here in London besides boring rugby
• 30:28
  Speaker 5: and soccer that's never-ending.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: So how's life in London? Now you relocated. You used
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: to call us from North Carolina, and now you're from Michigan, right?
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: You're a Michigan man. You like all the Michigan teams.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: Now you're living in London. Is it everything you hoped
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: it would be? Is there a delay? Maybe there's a
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: satellite delay here. Are you busy? Are we getting you
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: at a bad time here?
• 30:53
  Speaker 5: No, it's the issue of my VPN, Mr.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: Mallard. Oh, you're on a VPN situation there?
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 31:01
  Speaker 5: Well, you have to protect yourself if you're in London
• 31:04
  Speaker 5: so that the MI6 doesn't monitor everything that you're doing.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: Ah, okay. Yeah, I have heard they don't have freedom
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: of speech over there anymore in London. Oh, no, no, no.
• 31:15
  Speaker 5: That's why I randomly call when my VPN is at
• 31:18
  Speaker 5: its best and at the same time. getting in and
• 31:21
  Speaker 5: out of meetings.
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: So that I am not being monitored for what I'm saying.
• 31:24
  Speaker 5: But my question for you, sir, is what are the
• 31:27
  Speaker 5: likelihood of the Dodgers playing Tampa Bay for, again, a
• 31:31
  Speaker 5: World Series that doesn't matter except for the Dodgers?
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: Well, at this point, you'd say whoever wins between the
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: Yankees and Rays would be favored in the ALCS. Right now,
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: that's looking like Tampa.
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: Bay, so.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: At this moment, it's going to be Tampa Bay versus
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: Brewers or Tampa Bay versus the Dodgers. Common sense would
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: say that's the case.
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: Well, the Brewers would be one of the worst World
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: Series again.
• 31:59
  Speaker 5: It's just like watching Michigan football.
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: Oh, did I say that?
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: Well, the worst possible matchup from television would be Tampa Bay,
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: San Diego? I think San Diego, it's got to be
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: a bigger media market than Milwaukee. But it's not that
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: much bigger. It can't be that much bigger.
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: Well, at least it'd be something more enjoyable than listening
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: to the halfless lions, which again will stake up the
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: Thanksgiving Day. And Michigan, they can't complete a pass. So
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: at least I'll have something hopeful.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: All right. And how's the dating going out there? Because
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: we have Lorena next hour. She's giving out love advice.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: So everything good there with the ladies in London?
• 32:38
  Speaker 5: Well, I would rather not speak on that behalf on
• 32:41
  Speaker 5: the basis of trying to keep your license, Mr.
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: Mack.
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: Look at you, you big stud. Unbelievable. What a man. Unbelievable.
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: All right. Thank you. Go away. Be safe. Legally blind.
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: Crystal Fleur joins us from London. as he has successfully
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: moved across the way there. Well, how about this story?
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: So the Yankees, and they're on the brink of elimination.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: Second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. made one of the many
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: errors for the New York Yankees as he attempted to
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: throw the baseball, which is not kind to Jazz Chisholm,
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: and he said that he would make the same exact
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: throw again despite that leading to a costly error. In
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: the Yankees' loss to Tampa Bay, Chisholm said, quote, I'd
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: probably still throw it, honestly. He just said, I need
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: to make a better throw, more accurate. Now, that mistake
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: came in the first inning. Chisholm recorded an out at second.
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: He spun around, and he did the whirly and tried
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: to complete a double play at first. And whoop! The
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: throw sailed the wide of the mark, and Yandy Diaz
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: scored manager Aaron Boone. as a manager is supposed to do,
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: offered mild support. Mild support. After the game, said the
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: throw was probably a little forced, but he did not
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: object to the throw. He said, it's the big leagues,
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: and you've got to make that play, etc., etc. So,
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: Jazz Chisholm, one of four Yankee errors, as Ryan McMahon,
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: Austin Wells, and George Lombard Jr. also had bad plays there.
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: New York committed three errors, first time That that has
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: happened in the first inning most by an MLB team
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: in a single postseason inning since 1975. 51 years ago.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: So you've got that. And the other story, but Jazz,
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: the Yankees, my buddies who are Yankee fans cannot wait
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: for Jazz Chisholm to be playing for Tampa Bay or
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: the Marlins, back with the Marlins next year. God only
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: knows where. Then you had Red Sox starter Sonny Gray, who...
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: There was some buzz online because according to social media investigators,
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: it appeared that he had the sticky icky. He had
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: some kind of sticky substance on his neck during the
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: wild card loss to the Yankees. Baseball investigated the issue
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: after a bunch of people on social media were like,
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: he's cheating, he's cheating! Which is odd because the Yankees
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: ended up winning the game anyway. But it appears Gray
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: will not face any kind of punishment. It is very
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: odd that you could even attempt something like this, considering
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: that Major League Baseball overreacted years ago, and they have
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: the in-game substance check, where the umpires, after each inning,
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: check you to make sure you're in the clear. Like
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: they walk off the mound, you've got to put your
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: hands out, like you're doing the hokey pokey, and they've
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: got to shake them all about. And that's what they did. So,
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: there you go. A Major League Baseball investigation, yet again,
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: because of social media. This is the world we're in.
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: I remember when people used to call me up and
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: bitch and complain because in golf, for years, I think
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: they changed this, but they had a rule where some
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: nerd on his couch could call up and say, that
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: guy didn't do something on his scorecard the right way
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: and he should be penalized. Well, that's going on all
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: the time with social media and all these sports. It
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: is the Ben Maller Show straight ahead. We have another
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: edition of Maller to the Third Degree. Here's the Insta Trivia.
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: Freddie Freeman. Hit a home run in the Dodgers' victory
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: in the NLDS Game 3 over Atlanta. That gives him
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: 83 career postseason hits. Albert Pujols and Blank are the
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: only two primary first basemen to have more postseason hits
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: than Freddie Freeman. Again, Albert Pujols and Blank, only two
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: primary first basemen to have more postseason hits than Freddie Freeman.
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: That is the Insta Trivia. The answer. We'll get to it,
• 36:45
