Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our number three, our number three
of our radio program, and we take a look at
a team that doesn't normally get all that much attention
on sports radio, the Carolina Panthers. The reason I'm bringing
this up I was fascinated by the ridiculous nature of
(00:20):
the quote from Matt Rule. He's the head coach of
Carolina and he is playing a game of charades regarding
Sam Darnold and Carolina's decision in the NFL Draft. We
slice through the bullcrap from the NFL head coach for
the Panthers, Matt Rule, that and more. It's coming your
(00:41):
way right now in our number three. What in the
Sam Hill are you talking about? Well, come in the
beginning of another hour. It's the Bennet Mall Show. We
thank you for hanging out was We are in the
air everywhere as we rant and rave coast to coast,
(01:02):
border to border and beyond. On the vast and powerful
microphones of FS are emmanateing live from inside your ear drums,
providing you marginal sports talk radio all night long until
(01:23):
the wee hours of the morning. Here from the Fox
Sports Radio Studios and our lead this hour comes from
the Great Smoky Mountains. Well down the road from the
Great Smoky Mountains. They're in Charlotte, North Carolina, a team
that does not get a lot of play on sports radio.
But I found this story interesting and I think it's
(01:43):
worthy of some conversations, so I'll take a few good
minutes here and talk about it. The Panthers failed to
make a splish splash in the NFL Draft. At least,
they did not solve their quarterback conundrum. They had the
number eight pick when Carolina was on the board. They
had not one but two quarterbacks who were right there,
(02:08):
and they could have sniffed either one of them. Yeah,
and they whipped on both. That's Ohio States Justin Fields,
who ended up with the Chicago Bears, and Alabama's Mac
Jones who departed to New England. Both of them were available.
Carolina has a chasm at quarterback, but they elected instead
(02:29):
to address their defense, taking South Carolina defensive back J. C. Horne,
the son of Joe instead. Now, for many draft knicks,
this was a head scratching move. Head coach Matt Rule
recently attempted to explain why the Panthers made the move,
and that is what we want to talk about if
(02:49):
you didn't see it, and you probably didn't, I'm going
to assume the position that you did not. Matt Rule,
seemingly with a straight face, claimed that the Panthers asked
on those two quarterbacks because they are true believers in
Sam Darnald. Let me repeat that. The head coach of
(03:12):
the Carolina Panthers, seemingly with a straight face, implied that
the reason Carolina did not take a quarterback was because
they are all about that Sam Darnold a little perfect. Yeah,
that deserves a last laugh. Now the quote, I'm gonna
pretend like I'm Matt Rule, but I'm not Matt Rule.
He said. Quote. We just felt like Sam plus another
(03:34):
player would be better for the team overall, Rules said.
We're just trying to build the whole team. And I
believe in Sam, the Panthers coach said, while his nose grew,
I believe that he deserves the opportunity to go out
and play with us. I think those other young quarterbacks
(03:55):
are going to be fantastic players. Yeah right, that's a lie.
But the hit rate, this is another interesting part of
the quote from Matt Rule. The hit rate on first
round quarterbacks isn't real high and to have a chance
to get JC Horne and have Sam Donald, we just
kind of felt like, hey, it's a two for one.
(04:19):
So he said Sam's a great player for us. Hey,
we have to make sure he said that Sam's a
great player for us. All right, let's discuss the question
does Sam Donald deserve the opportunity that he's getting in
Carolina and the level of confidence that he's getting from
Matt Rule. Now, I'm giving this the side eye is
(04:43):
what I'm giving this. I've got the tuna, Dan Ackroyd,
and Quinnella and we will combine all of these things
together into an adequate Mala monologue. Now, to lead off with,
Matt Rule does not really believe in Sam Donald, and
if he does, he should be fired immediately. There's no reason,
(05:04):
there's zero, zero reason to have confidence in Sam Donald.
I understand, you gotta play the game, right. You can't
say that you gotta play the game of charades. And
he's playing the game of charades. Darnald has done nothing,
literally and figuratively, nothing in his NFL career that would
warrant any level of confidence. The reason that Carolina is
(05:26):
taking a shot on Sam Donald is simply because of
what he's supposed to have been, not what he has been.
A right, you have guys banking on the belief that
the scouting reports from four years ago were correct and
that Sam Darnald, who some thought was going to be
(05:49):
the number one pick in the twenty eighteens draft, he
ended up going number three overall, that the scouts were right,
and even though the results aren't there, they'll still be there.
And Darnald's only twenty three years old. You can't give
up on a twenty three year old guy. It was
the incompetence of the Jets, that's the counter argument. The
counter argument, the Devil's advocate arguments, well, it's the Jets,
(06:12):
all right, It's the Jets that's who's to blame. And
Sam Donald is this helpless, innocent victim just caught up
in the mess. Spoiler alert, spoiler alert. It's not true.
Sam Donald shares culpability and this is not all on him.
(06:32):
I will agree the Jets suck, all right, they stink,
But Sam Donald failed to show a ray of sunshine
in the darkness. And even incompetent football teams, if you're
a good quarterback, you show a little bit of something,
you show a little bit of something. For example, Joe
(06:55):
Burrow on a team the equal of the Jets the
Bengals in Cincinnati before he went Snapcracker Pop, Joe Burrow
showed you there's something there, There's something good. There's some
good stuff in there for Joe Burrow. And whether or
not that comes to fruition in years to come, that
(07:16):
will be determined the test of time. But he showed
you something. Sam Donald hasn't shown you anything, and it's
the great Tuna. Bill Parcels famously opined you are what
your record says you are, and in this case, it's
cover your eyes bat. Sam Donald forty five touchdowns, thirty
(07:36):
nine interceptions in a woke, begone career, had more picks
than touchdowns this past season. And he is a loser,
big time loser. Gang Green thirty eight starts for Sam Donald,
just thirteen wins, a three forty two lousy winning percentage.
(08:00):
And there is a trail of coaches who have met
their demise because of Sam Donald, right, and he's the
coach each other. Second rate performance after second rate performance.
Shout out Todd Bowls, Shout out crazy eyes. Adam Gase
now Furthermore so, while we are at it here and
(08:23):
we have established why Sam Donald isn't worthy of the
confidence more of a refresher course that Matt Rule has
publicly shown him. What is it gonna take. Let's let's
take the other side. Let's let's be Benny Brightside for
a couple of minutes. What is it gonna take for
Sam Donald to get the last laugh, for Sam Donald
(08:43):
to make me look like the king of all schmucks,
and for him to go out and turn things around
and go turbotastic. So if you play peekaboo with the
Carolina depth chart, just just get a little bit of
a glance. There is nothing spectacular that jumps off the page.
(09:03):
And people say, well, what about Christian McCaffrey, He's the
scud missile gliding along quickly out of the backfield. Well
he was that last season. He wasn't that player and
he was an injury ravaged, damaged player. Now is that
an aberration or is that going to be the player
that we get going forward? With Christian McCaffrey and the
(09:25):
way that he plays, and is he just not gonna
be able to handle his body? The battering ram nature
of being a big time, high volume, high volume running
back in the NFL. Outside of McCaffrey, who was damaged
Goods in twenty twenty, you have a pedestrian group of
pass catchers. Robbie Anderson, who by the way, was with
(09:48):
Sam Donald in a Jets uniform that was not a
marriage made in heaven. D J. Moore is the other
starting receiver. The Panther's line is okay, it's nothing to
post about on social media. It's not like the number
one offensive line in football. You've got the offensive play
caller Joe Brady, who was this dynamo at LSU offensive
(10:11):
coordinator Joe Brady, and he has yet to show that
pedigree in his brief cup of coffee in the program.
So to rephrase this, what Carolina really needs is to
call Dan Ackroyd and Bill Murray and get the Ghostbusters
back together because we need a Hollywood style exorcism. That
I'm talking, head spinning, projectile, vomit walls bleeding, speaking in tongues,
(10:39):
calling out the holy ghost for Sam Donald. We know
that Sam Donald has had issues with Poltergeist the Phantom
in the past, So that's the way to go. Now.
The last thing here, the Panthers are essentially admitting they
plan on treading water in twenty twenty one. They are
going to be right in the middle of the Bell curve.
(11:00):
They're not gonna be terrible. They don't seem like they're
gonna be very good. Hoping they catch lightning in the
bottle with sam Don. Matt Rule mentioned the hit rate
is not very high for first round picks, which I
found irony in because Sam Donald is he's on the
naughty list. He's one of the first round picks that
(11:22):
didn't hit. So Carolina is betting on the Quinela over
at Santa Anita there and when that fails, they'll be
back near the top of the twenty twenty two NFL draft.
And every year it's the circle of life as an
NFL observer, and you work in that business. Every single
year there's a new crop of can't miss, game changing,
(11:45):
franchise turning quarterbacks, if only you can get your hands
on them, and they build them up and they knock
them down and warming up right now in the oven.
Sam Howell a quarterback out of North Carolina. We know
the last high profile quarterback out of North Carolina, Mitchell Trubisky,
did very well so far in his NFL career. Sam
(12:08):
Howe is projected as the top quarterback. Someone named Spencer
Rattler from Boomers Sooner Land is also high up on
the look ahead to the twenty two drafts. So it's
your next. Who's got next? And Carolina if they're as
bad as we think, they're gonna be just mediocre to
(12:29):
bad and then they'll have a chance at getting one
of those top quarterbacks next year. All right, it is
the Ben Mather Show. You want to talk about that
or anything else, you can join us. The big story
here is in New York. That is the big story.
And everyone now rhythm mc chanting. Let's give jose Albouve
(12:53):
the proper greed, and they did it at Yankee Stadium.
It's wonderful. That is just makes you feel good. It's
like taking your vitamins. It's just wonderful. It's like eating
(13:15):
your vegetables and you don't have to have that nasty
vegetable taste. It's so wonderful. All right's Bet Mather's Show
on Fox. As we press on, we'll take your phone
calls here eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. All right,
straight ahead for us, Big Hour, Big Hour, latelest Hour,
Too Much or not enough Cooking with Roberto as well.
Coming up a little bit later in the hour. Interesting
(13:38):
story out of the NFL. One of the big names
in the NFL is putting pressure on an NFL team
he doesn't play for to write a check for twenty
million dollars to a player who's not going to play
in the NFL this season. It's an interesting story here.
(13:58):
Will it work? Will pressure of the algal Rhythms and
the bots be able to convince an NFL team to
pay out ten twenty million dollars to a player who's
no longer going to be able to play for their team.
We'll get to that, and also take a turn on
Temptation Turnpike. We'll get to that on this Cinco de Mayo.
We'll get to that. We will do it next. I
(14:20):

(15:03):
He's on Twitter at Raider Underscore, rob twenty four, Feel

the Fox Sports Radio Studios. It's Ben Maller. Rucker Joe
rides soon. He says, Hey, Ben, you forgot to mention
that another big league pitcher used your EFES pitch, Zach
(15:26):
Grinky through one, thus further cementing your claim that you
can pitch in the big leagues. Well that's a great point,
Trucker Joe, and guys like Eddie Garcia belittling me, bullying me.
But I came up with that lollipop. I call it
the lollipop curve, and it is the hardest pitch in
(15:49):
baseball to hit, and I dominate the way I throw
that rainbow pitch. It's like it's got a parachute on it.
And I did it in the minor league ballpark in Bakersfield.
They had to close the team down. It was so
impressive the team went out of business. I don't know
that impressive was the word I would use. That was great.
(16:10):
You're jealous, Eddie, because listen, we look around the guy,
the fat guy and the twins. Uh, he did it,
and now Zach Granky has done it. And I did
it before those guests. I was a trend setters what
I was doing. Yeah, but it's not hard to throw
that pitch. Anybody could just lob it up there. Yeah,
well you didn't do it. I didn't want to look like,
why didn't you do it? I didn't want to look
(16:30):
like a tough guy. Yeah, woods at all. It's hard
to do that. I am confident in my own skin,
unlike or you can't throw it, you know fast. See,
I understand the art of pitching. You do not understand
the art of pitching. That's the problem with you. You
don't understand. That's why I you know, I would be
(16:51):
better as a as a big league. There was nobody
had to play. You weren't trying to get anyone out.
You're just trying to You got to work the number,
you know, sides of the play a little bit. You
gotta move the ball around. And it's not about how
hard you throw. It's about ball placement. It's always about
the ball placement. That's the most important thing to pitch. Spin.
(17:12):
Spin rate, yeah, yeah, spin, Right's good point. Thank you, Cooper.
See Coops on my side. You see that Coops on
my side? There there was no spin on it. He
just floated there like a bus a lie. The videos
on the internet, you can sign the VIDEOSI thank you,
truck or Joe A good job by you, good job bye.
That's trucker Joe on the highways and bioys. I don't
(17:35):
know where he is, somewhere in Pennsylvania or something like that.
No idea, who knew? All right, anyway, I didn't want
to measure. If you're just tuning in to the show
we have coming up in a little bit, we're gonna
have a radio game show too much or not enough.
We began the hour with a Mallard monologue, a Mallard monologue,
(17:57):
all about all about the Carolina Panthers, some comments, we're
parsing the words of Matt Rule, the coach of Carolina.
So that is what he said about Sam Darnald. There
very very positive about Sam Donald. I know you gotta
play that game. But a little ridiculous Riek who quit
the show last week, but it's back listening in Minnesota
(18:19):
says Solid B monologue. Does Sam Donald deserve a second
chance with a different team, Sure, but I'm firing that
idiot for saying they have complete confidence in Donald. I'm
seeing ghosts. Matt in Indie says, I just don't get it.
Been but this love for Sam Donald. He has a
(18:39):
Kille Smith written all over him. His rich uppity family
must have some compromising photos of all these for all
these Sam Donald the tongue massages that he's getting some
fiery hot content. And I am told it's been too long.
I have a little ticker here in the studio. And
(19:03):
what happened to Yankee Stadium? Roberto, can you remind me
what happened to Yankee Stadium? I forget the Yankee fans
did something for Jose Altube out standing, out standing, all right,
(19:24):
Let's go to the phones. Eight seven seven ninety nine
on Fox is the number eight seven seven nine nine
six sixty three six nine if you would like to
be part. Oh now, the security guards tell the fans
to watch their language because it told me that a
lot of times in the left fild pavilion. Yeah, well,
did the public address an answer? Who's an old LA
(19:44):
radio guy Paul Olden get on the PA system there
at Yankee Stadium say fans, will you please refrain from
users at Yankee Stadium? Of course, the PA guy for
the Yankees asked one of the most famous questions of
all time in my lifetime to Tommy Losorta, what's your
opinion of King King's performance? Olass? What's my opinion? Got
(20:07):
hit three? Home run? You asked me a question like that?
What do you expect me to say? Let's go to
the phone. Sean the Hood Guy, he's in that Lost
Angeles Hello, Sean the Hood Guy. Hey man, you know
FI two bay Man, this is part of the militia.
We all going to join it on this man. They
did us wrong. You know, they messed up my whole
Halloween night with my kids. Everybody that I knew that
(20:28):
everybody's house. I was trick or treat that they was
all dodging fans. Everybody had them dodging Jersey Dodgers. Had
Dodgers lost that game, everybody's slapping their dos to turn
off their porchlight. Kind of crazy, but I'm gonna jump
in with you, Big Ben. I'm down with you on
that one. Number two, I want to ask to hommy Eddie,
how do you feel about these Pittsburgh pickups? You know
we got from the draft. Man, they did pretty good
on the running back. But I'm tired of hearing all
(20:50):
these commentators keep talking about Levan Bell Levean Bills, and
it's a dirty piece of draws to me. Man, he
ran to another team trying to grab a championship. It
didn't work out. So how do you think about the
running back we got, Eddie? Yeah, I mean, I think
the comparison is that, you know, he is a good
receiver out of the backfield and a hard runner. So
that's the That's why their comparison comparing him to Levia Bell.
(21:10):
I wasn't sure about drafting the tight end there with
the second pick. I don't know that that's uh, that
was a place of need. But you prop up Ben Roethlisberger.
He's on his last legs here. Eddy had to prop
him off. Yeah, well, you need some offensive linemen to
keep to keep him upright and open up some holes.
But you gotta have it's gonna be all about yak
and the yak. It's gonna be yards after the catch
because he's not gonna He's not gonna chuck the ball
(21:31):
down the field. So you gotta, you know, find guys
that can break tackles and get down field. Yeah. Well,
I usually trust the Steelers when it comes to drafts,
though usually draft pretty well, Okay, cool, because I'm tired
everybody talking about Levi ya Bell. I'm thinking about Frank
o'harris in the first place, because they that catch would
never happen. If Frank o'harris couldn't catch out the backfield
and macl the session never happened. But uh, big Ben,
let me tell you something real quick to happen to
(21:52):
me the other day. Man. It's kind of days, I
wo and I heard this from from one of my
favorite comedians. But it happened to me though. I was
getting out work the other morn, so my wife had
the car so I jumped on the bus to go home,
and h I get on the bus and this guy
on the bus. He had on some black black leather boots,
black leather pants and a black leather jacket and his
(22:13):
hair was in like a rainbow, you know, rainbow or mohawk,
and a and an ear raintor was no. So I'm
looking at it, and I'm the whole time I'm sick
looking at him. I'm hearing the same joke that I
heard before about this, but it was happening to meat.
So he did the same thing. So he looked at me, said,
what you're looking at food? You don't You never seen
nobody dressed like this before. So by him being smart
like that, I came back with the joke that you know,
(22:34):
I heard that with days. I wooted me and I said,
well no, but I said, about twenty years ago, I
did have sex with a peacock and I thought you
was my son. So big Ben ihuted you later, all right, Wow,
wasn't expecting that peacock joke there? Did you expect that? Eddie?
I don't like your take on the steeler dry. That's
(22:55):
a bad take, Eddie. That's a that's a bad take
by you. No, it's not. Yeah, is he Your instincts
are wrong. You have to as a talk radio guy,
you have to always be waiting for the other shooter drop.
That's the key, right, You have to be cynical. You kids, well,
I trust him because they always get the picks right
and all that. No, no, that's the wrong way to
(23:16):
approach this. You have to be more cynical, So you
have to. It's not a lie. It's good at all.
The way you are. I will give you that. You
are excellent lying. I don't lie. Eddie is incorrect every
show multiple times. Did you like when mel Kiper had
a coronary. I saw the clip. I was watching the
NFL state sponsored network there um say sponsor media, but
(23:38):
I guess mel Kuiper freaked out. I saw the clip.
When they drafted the Steelers drafted Nja Harris, They're like, oh,
I can't believe running You're not supposed to draft running
backs in the first round. Eddie, that's a that's a
cardinal sin. I love that pick. Love that pick. Really,
you want to marry it? You love it? I would
absolutely marry that pick. That's a drop. You get to
(23:59):
Roberto he just said he would marry Nag Harris. Interesting. Interesting, Interesting,
you're really fishing for one there. That's a good drop.
All about drop placement, the key to these drops. Drop placement,
that's up the Roberto. It's an art we have, but
not our Martine Deace as many twice as many Ben
(24:21):
drops as anybody else. That's because there's a bias against me.
Just stuff that's incorrect, you guys, I like the extended winner.
You guys take stuff out of context and repackage it
and make me look like a schmuck. I'm a professional
talk shows. I do not goof around here. Eddie will
be til thousand dollars. I'll endorse a game magazine. What's
(24:42):
wrong with that? I'm on the woke train, come on, man,
and going wrong with that? And uh hey, I was
ahead of my time on that sound body and that
was edited anyway. Be sure to catch live editions of
The Ben Maller Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven
pm Pacific. Hey, it's Ben, host of the Fifth Hour

(25:24):
with Ben mallow on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast or
wherever you get your podcast. We talked about the Brewers
Phillies game. Did you see they talk about coaches and managers.
They rarely win games, but sometimes they can lose games.
The Philly has had a six one lead in the
top of the seventh inning. Aaron Nola had just tossed
seven strong endings of work and manager Joe Girardi decided
(25:44):
to go to the bullpen. He called in reliever Inel
de los Santos. He went through his warm ups and
then they told Joe Girardi he can't pitch. He was
not listed on the light up card that dress turned
in before the games him ineligible, so they had to
pull him out of the game. Uh. The Brewers ended
up scoring four runs in the inning. I've got to know, Eddie.
(26:08):
But in the end, the Philly is We're able to
hold on, to take Joe Girardi off the hook. Afterwards,
he said, I am livid with myself, just stupid on
my part. He said, you always double checked the card,
but he missed it. He's losing his way. Didn't this
happen with the Milwaukee Brewers. They had a picture they
called into the game that was not able to pitch.
(26:29):
It's just happened a couple of weeks ago, twice in
the first month of the season. About COVID. Yeah, it's all, yes, yes,
you gotta have a boogeyman. You gotta have a fall guy. Right,
it's the COVID, right COVID. Yeah, man, all right, thank
you for that, Eddie. Joe Girardi. Imagine if he was
(26:50):
managing the Yankees and he did that, holy crazy. The
Philly fans will forgive him for that. Yeah. They're a
nice bunch there in Philly. It is the just look
at fast, look at a guy. Fans can't wait for that.
Mallard meet and greet and Amish country. That's gonna be great.
Gonna get a horse and buggy and run through Amish
country man. Is that gonna be fun? We're gonna have
(27:10):
such a good time, all right, So Ben Malis show
this portion of the program made possible by discover card.
We believe a better tomorrow is possible for everyone. Discover
something brighter, discover something brighter. All right, let's get to
it right now. He too much or not enough enough?
(27:35):
Already too much or not enough? And we have our
contestant lined up and ready to go. I guess he
must be up with his his kid again. Let's go
to Brooklyn now, Marcel, we are talking about mole in Brooklyn.
What's going on? Mo? Good morning, Ben, and yep, I'm
(27:57):
up with my kid again. How are you doing? Ben?
I would like to thank you for not being able
to sleep normal hours. It's good for our show. It's amazing, amazing. Benny,
I heard you say that you're always waiting for the
other scooter drop. I thought you Benny bright Side, well,
occasionally on Benny Brightside. But as a talk show host, Mo,
you have to bathe in the bath of negativity because
(28:20):
if you're too positive, who the hell wants to hear that?
You know, when you know everything goes smoothly, it doesn't
make the news. When things go bad, that's the news.
And the reason it's the news is because people are
gravitated towards negativity. That's how we're wired. Guys. I guess
you know one more think for Eddie. I don't know
how I will think. I didn't get suspended for the
(28:40):
rest of the season. I don't understand that, Eddie. The
guys trying to talk hockey with you, Eddie, and you're
not even responding. I thought we were playing a game.
That's the guys, shouldn't the guy should have been suspended
for the rest of the season. That's correct, That is correct.
You are correct. Give him, give him a right answer.
(29:04):
Let's play the game. Moll here we go. Come down.
We're gonna play the game very exciting. Earlier this week,
what we were you gonna say, nice time. I'm gonna
try to guess right. Yes, it's just a guessing game.
You got a fifty fifty chance. You got a fifty
percent chance if you're Benny Brightside of getting it right,
if you're the doomsday prophecies guy, you have a fifty
(29:24):
percent chance of getting it wrong. Earlier this week, Draymond
Green had his seventh game this season with at least
fifteen assists. Only three other non guards in NBA history
have had that many in a single season. Is that
too much or not enough? That sounds like too much?
(29:46):
Mo is going with too much, that's his guest. Let's
find out if Mos right? That is correct? Moll get
job by you too much? None other, no other, No
other non guards have that many fifteen assist games in
a single season. Question number two, you're one and all.
(30:06):
We're gonna get three right to win the game. Get
all five right, We'll go crazy, have a party. Question two.
Since the twenty six season, there have been nine nine
Grand slams hit by pitchers. Is that too much or
not enough? Nine Grand slams? I could think of Felix
(30:27):
Dernandez and the guy to Noah tonight. I can't think
of anybody else. I'm gonna maybe Madison Bumgardness. I'm gonna
go too much. He's going too much again, Mos going
too much. Let's find out now, believe it or not,
it's actually not enough. You mentioned Noah the Braves, he
had the thirteenth Grand Salami. Buy a pitcher. Since twenty
(30:52):
h six, they got hell these pictures to start throw
breaking bols to pictures. Well, my goodness, you know what
you gotta say, mos, get out the right bread and mustard. Grandma,
it's grand salami time. That's right. That might not mean
it in eumo because you're in Brooklyn, but our friends
in Seattle listening, that's a great get out to the
(31:13):
oodles and noodles. Yeah. Well, most people think like you
think traditional Brooklyn food. You think like pizza or something
like that. But but Brilli, it is hoodles and noodles,
that's really. And Kennedy Fried Chicken. Have you eaten at
Kennedy Fried Chicken? Mo? Um? No, I'm sure as we
(31:33):
got to do do it the kosher. Oh that's right, not
kosher there, you can't do that, I understand. Shalom. All right,
here we go. Question number what do we at? Question
number three? Number three? Since the RBI became official in
nineteen twenty, there have been nine pairs of teammates with
seven runs batted in in a game? Is that too
(31:55):
much or not enough? That I know is too much
because you had that stat couple of days ago. All right,
let's fine out right here, here we go. I'm impressed
by your retention mode. Good retention because the average listener
only pays attention to like twenty percent of what we say.
(32:18):
But good job. I listen to the podcast every single day.
But God bless you. Unbelievable. All right, here we go,
question number four. Question number four. You are up to
to a right one wrong? You get this right, you
win the game. This year, there were six schools with
at least nine draft picks in the NFL selection show
(32:43):
last week. Is that too much or not enough? I'm
gonna go and too much? Too much? All right, it
was gonna go the other way, but he said too much.
Let's see if Mo can bring home a golden ticket
winning it for his kid who can sleep and has
Mo up early. Let's find out that's suit. Good job
(33:08):
by you. You are you're a mench All right, well,
thank your son? What's your or your son? Right? Is it?
Your daughter? Is your Willie? Willie? All right, there you go,
Thank you, Willie. Good job by you, and there goes

let me let me help you out of it. You
should say, I have been dying to give you this
rib recipe we're gonna get. I lost it. I can't
find it. Yeah, I gotta go through my my my books. Okay,
(35:42):
all right, but today we're going Saint Louis style ribs.
All right. I stumbled upon these ribs at Costco about
two years ago. These ribs are tender, sticky, and delicious.
The name Saint Louis comes from the cut of the meat,
not the seasoning or the sauce used. These are great ribs, man,
these are great. I love these. My daughter loved the
my wife loved these. There they're great. All right, Okay,
(36:05):
I'll let me tell you. All right, So if you
if you made a big border ribs, the Saint Louis
rib would be at the very top. Yeah, yeah, I
love these ribs. Man. There. Uh ILike the baby the
baby baby back are good too. But these have these
have more meeting on. Man, got more meat. It's all
about the meat. It's all about the meat. That's what
Eddie said, right, that's right, he did say that. All right,
(36:29):
So we need ingredients. Uh about three to four pounds
of Saint Louis ribs, one couple big, a lot of them.
Get three or four pounds, just a pounder pound pound,
that's right, all right. One cup of your of the
desired barbic you sauce of your choice for the spice,
rub salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, pepper,
(36:52):
dried oregano, some brown sugar. All right, I can't say
that Roberto brown sugar, and some cold said salt coast
yourself for the jew for my Jewish people. That's anti
there you. All right, we're gonna combine all these ingredients
for the meridame and a small bowl, alright, a big one,
(37:12):
small small ball, small little ball, little ball. Chickito pekenyo,
think of the mile poquito chicken. Ya. All right, you're
not chicken. All right. We're gonna place these ribs in
an oven trade dish. We're gonna rub both sides of
the ribs. Rubb it, rubb it good, rubb good. We're
gonna rubb it. Yeah, let it rub let the ribs
(37:33):
spices like Robert Kraft like he does. Let the ribs
and start the spices for at least eight to twenty
four hours or best flavor. That's just me, right, That's
that's just what I do. All right, Yes, all right,
we're gonna pre We're gonna put this in the oven.
All right. We're not gonna put this on on the
grill because I don't have a smoke. I prefer I
prefer to my ribs to be smoked. I don't have
(37:53):
a smoker, all right, so I don't I don't try
to put them in. Then I don't try to put him.
You need a smoker, Yeah, yeah, but there. I was
gonna buy it one one time, but they're too expensive
and I don't. I don't grill all the time. I don't.
I'm not always grilling, so I'm not a I'm not
a grill master, so I understand. So I'm like, that's
too expensive for me. All right, we'll heat of into
five hundred degrees, place rack in the middle of cook
ribs are covered in oven for twenty minutes. After the
(38:15):
twenty minutes, we're gonna heat them into three fifty lauria
to three fifty, cover the top of the oven trade
with aluminum foil, and bake for an hour and forty minutes.
Make sure you use oven mits when covering the oven
trade with the foil, or else you're gonna burn your hands. Okay, Yeah,
you wanna do that? Yeah, be a bad idea. Maybe
you do. Maybe you'll like burning your hands, but I
think you shouldn't do that. Yeah right, Yeah. Remove the
(38:36):
maru ribs from foil and generously brush with barbecue sauce.
You can put them in the can. Put them back
in the oven. For five to ten minutes. But I
don't after that. I just brushed barbecue sauce on top. Bomb.
It's ready to go, cut, cut into individual ribs, serve
and enjoy. That's it. Just say, just like that deserves already, quick, easy.
(38:56):
We're gonna have a great weekend. Right there it is.
You'll tweet out the recipe. Dam all right, Saint Louis
ribs cooking when the Roberto boom boom boom boom boom
boom boom boom boom
Hello and welcome. It's our number three, our number three
of our radio program, and we take a look at
a team that doesn't normally get all that much attention
on sports radio, the Carolina Panthers. The reason I'm bringing
this up I was fascinated by the ridiculous nature of
(00:20):
the quote from Matt Rule. He's the head coach of
Carolina and he is playing a game of charades regarding
Sam Darnold and Carolina's decision in the NFL Draft. We
slice through the bullcrap from the NFL head coach for
the Panthers, Matt Rule, that and more. It's coming your
(00:41):
way right now in our number three. What in the
Sam Hill are you talking about? Well, come in the
beginning of another hour. It's the Bennet Mall Show. We
thank you for hanging out was We are in the
air everywhere as we rant and rave coast to coast,
(01:02):
border to border and beyond. On the vast and powerful
microphones of FS are emmanateing live from inside your ear drums,
providing you marginal sports talk radio all night long until
(01:23):
the wee hours of the morning. Here from the Fox
Sports Radio Studios and our lead this hour comes from
the Great Smoky Mountains. Well down the road from the
Great Smoky Mountains. They're in Charlotte, North Carolina, a team
that does not get a lot of play on sports radio.
But I found this story interesting and I think it's
(01:43):
worthy of some conversations, so I'll take a few good
minutes here and talk about it. The Panthers failed to
make a splish splash in the NFL Draft. At least,
they did not solve their quarterback conundrum. They had the
number eight pick when Carolina was on the board. They
had not one but two quarterbacks who were right there,
(02:08):
and they could have sniffed either one of them. Yeah,
and they whipped on both. That's Ohio States Justin Fields,
who ended up with the Chicago Bears, and Alabama's Mac
Jones who departed to New England. Both of them were available.
Carolina has a chasm at quarterback, but they elected instead
(02:29):
to address their defense, taking South Carolina defensive back J. C. Horne,
the son of Joe instead. Now, for many draft knicks,
this was a head scratching move. Head coach Matt Rule
recently attempted to explain why the Panthers made the move,
and that is what we want to talk about if
(02:49):
you didn't see it, and you probably didn't, I'm going
to assume the position that you did not. Matt Rule,
seemingly with a straight face, claimed that the Panthers asked
on those two quarterbacks because they are true believers in
Sam Darnald. Let me repeat that. The head coach of
(03:12):
the Carolina Panthers, seemingly with a straight face, implied that
the reason Carolina did not take a quarterback was because
they are all about that Sam Darnold a little perfect. Yeah,
that deserves a last laugh. Now the quote, I'm gonna
pretend like I'm Matt Rule, but I'm not Matt Rule.
He said. Quote. We just felt like Sam plus another
(03:34):
player would be better for the team overall, Rules said.
We're just trying to build the whole team. And I
believe in Sam, the Panthers coach said, while his nose grew,
I believe that he deserves the opportunity to go out
and play with us. I think those other young quarterbacks
(03:55):
are going to be fantastic players. Yeah right, that's a lie.
But the hit rate, this is another interesting part of
the quote from Matt Rule. The hit rate on first
round quarterbacks isn't real high and to have a chance
to get JC Horne and have Sam Donald, we just
kind of felt like, hey, it's a two for one.
(04:19):
So he said Sam's a great player for us. Hey,
we have to make sure he said that Sam's a
great player for us. All right, let's discuss the question
does Sam Donald deserve the opportunity that he's getting in
Carolina and the level of confidence that he's getting from
Matt Rule. Now, I'm giving this the side eye is
(04:43):
what I'm giving this. I've got the tuna, Dan Ackroyd,
and Quinnella and we will combine all of these things
together into an adequate Mala monologue. Now, to lead off with,
Matt Rule does not really believe in Sam Donald, and
if he does, he should be fired immediately. There's no reason,
(05:04):
there's zero, zero reason to have confidence in Sam Donald.
I understand, you gotta play the game, right. You can't
say that you gotta play the game of charades. And
he's playing the game of charades. Darnald has done nothing,
literally and figuratively, nothing in his NFL career that would
warrant any level of confidence. The reason that Carolina is
(05:26):
taking a shot on Sam Donald is simply because of
what he's supposed to have been, not what he has been.
A right, you have guys banking on the belief that
the scouting reports from four years ago were correct and
that Sam Darnald, who some thought was going to be
(05:49):
the number one pick in the twenty eighteens draft, he
ended up going number three overall, that the scouts were right,
and even though the results aren't there, they'll still be there.
And Darnald's only twenty three years old. You can't give
up on a twenty three year old guy. It was
the incompetence of the Jets, that's the counter argument. The
counter argument, the Devil's advocate arguments, well, it's the Jets,
(06:12):
all right, It's the Jets that's who's to blame. And
Sam Donald is this helpless, innocent victim just caught up
in the mess. Spoiler alert, spoiler alert. It's not true.
Sam Donald shares culpability and this is not all on him.
(06:32):
I will agree the Jets suck, all right, they stink,
But Sam Donald failed to show a ray of sunshine
in the darkness. And even incompetent football teams, if you're
a good quarterback, you show a little bit of something,
you show a little bit of something. For example, Joe
(06:55):
Burrow on a team the equal of the Jets the
Bengals in Cincinnati before he went Snapcracker Pop, Joe Burrow
showed you there's something there, There's something good. There's some
good stuff in there for Joe Burrow. And whether or
not that comes to fruition in years to come, that
(07:16):
will be determined the test of time. But he showed
you something. Sam Donald hasn't shown you anything, and it's
the great Tuna. Bill Parcels famously opined you are what
your record says you are, and in this case, it's
cover your eyes bat. Sam Donald forty five touchdowns, thirty
(07:36):
nine interceptions in a woke, begone career, had more picks
than touchdowns this past season. And he is a loser,
big time loser. Gang Green thirty eight starts for Sam Donald,
just thirteen wins, a three forty two lousy winning percentage.
(08:00):
And there is a trail of coaches who have met
their demise because of Sam Donald, right, and he's the
coach each other. Second rate performance after second rate performance.
Shout out Todd Bowls, Shout out crazy eyes. Adam Gase
now Furthermore so, while we are at it here and
(08:23):
we have established why Sam Donald isn't worthy of the
confidence more of a refresher course that Matt Rule has
publicly shown him. What is it gonna take. Let's let's
take the other side. Let's let's be Benny Brightside for
a couple of minutes. What is it gonna take for
Sam Donald to get the last laugh, for Sam Donald
(08:43):
to make me look like the king of all schmucks,
and for him to go out and turn things around
and go turbotastic. So if you play peekaboo with the
Carolina depth chart, just just get a little bit of
a glance. There is nothing spectacular that jumps off the page.
(09:03):
And people say, well, what about Christian McCaffrey, He's the
scud missile gliding along quickly out of the backfield. Well
he was that last season. He wasn't that player and
he was an injury ravaged, damaged player. Now is that
an aberration or is that going to be the player
that we get going forward? With Christian McCaffrey and the
(09:25):
way that he plays, and is he just not gonna
be able to handle his body? The battering ram nature
of being a big time, high volume, high volume running
back in the NFL. Outside of McCaffrey, who was damaged
Goods in twenty twenty, you have a pedestrian group of
pass catchers. Robbie Anderson, who by the way, was with
(09:48):
Sam Donald in a Jets uniform that was not a
marriage made in heaven. D J. Moore is the other
starting receiver. The Panther's line is okay, it's nothing to
post about on social media. It's not like the number
one offensive line in football. You've got the offensive play
caller Joe Brady, who was this dynamo at LSU offensive
(10:11):
coordinator Joe Brady, and he has yet to show that
pedigree in his brief cup of coffee in the program.
So to rephrase this, what Carolina really needs is to
call Dan Ackroyd and Bill Murray and get the Ghostbusters
back together because we need a Hollywood style exorcism. That
I'm talking, head spinning, projectile, vomit walls bleeding, speaking in tongues,
(10:39):
calling out the holy ghost for Sam Donald. We know
that Sam Donald has had issues with Poltergeist the Phantom
in the past, So that's the way to go. Now.
The last thing here, the Panthers are essentially admitting they
plan on treading water in twenty twenty one. They are
going to be right in the middle of the Bell curve.
(11:00):
They're not gonna be terrible. They don't seem like they're
gonna be very good. Hoping they catch lightning in the
bottle with sam Don. Matt Rule mentioned the hit rate
is not very high for first round picks, which I
found irony in because Sam Donald is he's on the
naughty list. He's one of the first round picks that
(11:22):
didn't hit. So Carolina is betting on the Quinela over
at Santa Anita there and when that fails, they'll be
back near the top of the twenty twenty two NFL draft.
And every year it's the circle of life as an
NFL observer, and you work in that business. Every single
year there's a new crop of can't miss, game changing,
(11:45):
franchise turning quarterbacks, if only you can get your hands
on them, and they build them up and they knock
them down and warming up right now in the oven.
Sam Howell a quarterback out of North Carolina. We know
the last high profile quarterback out of North Carolina, Mitchell Trubisky,
did very well so far in his NFL career. Sam
(12:08):
Howe is projected as the top quarterback. Someone named Spencer
Rattler from Boomers Sooner Land is also high up on
the look ahead to the twenty two drafts. So it's
your next. Who's got next? And Carolina if they're as
bad as we think, they're gonna be just mediocre to
(12:29):
bad and then they'll have a chance at getting one
of those top quarterbacks next year. All right, it is
the Ben Mather Show. You want to talk about that
or anything else, you can join us. The big story
here is in New York. That is the big story.
And everyone now rhythm mc chanting. Let's give jose Albouve
(12:53):
the proper greed, and they did it at Yankee Stadium.
It's wonderful. That is just makes you feel good. It's
like taking your vitamins. It's just wonderful. It's like eating
(13:15):
your vegetables and you don't have to have that nasty
vegetable taste. It's so wonderful. All right's Bet Mather's Show
on Fox. As we press on, we'll take your phone
calls here eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. All right,
straight ahead for us, Big Hour, Big Hour, latelest Hour,
Too Much or not enough Cooking with Roberto as well.
Coming up a little bit later in the hour. Interesting
(13:38):
story out of the NFL. One of the big names
in the NFL is putting pressure on an NFL team
he doesn't play for to write a check for twenty
million dollars to a player who's not going to play
in the NFL this season. It's an interesting story here.
(13:58):
Will it work? Will pressure of the algal Rhythms and
the bots be able to convince an NFL team to
pay out ten twenty million dollars to a player who's
no longer going to be able to play for their team.
We'll get to that, and also take a turn on
Temptation Turnpike. We'll get to that on this Cinco de Mayo.
We'll get to that. We will do it next. I
(14:20):

coming up in just a bit, it is Roberto Flores.
(15:03):
He's on Twitter at Raider Underscore, rob twenty four, Feel
for how Ha ha for ha and a lie from
the Fox Sports Radio Studios. It's Ben Maller. Rucker Joe
rides soon. He says, Hey, Ben, you forgot to mention
that another big league pitcher used your EFES pitch, Zach
(15:26):
Grinky through one, thus further cementing your claim that you
can pitch in the big leagues. Well that's a great point,
Trucker Joe, and guys like Eddie Garcia belittling me, bullying me.
But I came up with that lollipop. I call it
the lollipop curve, and it is the hardest pitch in
(15:49):
baseball to hit, and I dominate the way I throw
that rainbow pitch. It's like it's got a parachute on it.
And I did it in the minor league ballpark in Bakersfield.
They had to close the team down. It was so
impressive the team went out of business. I don't know
that impressive was the word I would use. That was great.
(16:10):
You're jealous, Eddie, because listen, we look around the guy,
the fat guy and the twins. Uh, he did it,
and now Zach Granky has done it. And I did
it before those guests. I was a trend setters what
I was doing. Yeah, but it's not hard to throw
that pitch. Anybody could just lob it up there. Yeah,
well you didn't do it. I didn't want to look like,
why didn't you do it? I didn't want to look
(16:30):
like a tough guy. Yeah, woods at all. It's hard
to do that. I am confident in my own skin,
unlike or you can't throw it, you know fast. See,
I understand the art of pitching. You do not understand
the art of pitching. That's the problem with you. You
don't understand. That's why I you know, I would be
(16:51):
better as a as a big league. There was nobody
had to play. You weren't trying to get anyone out.
You're just trying to You got to work the number,
you know, sides of the play a little bit. You
gotta move the ball around. And it's not about how
hard you throw. It's about ball placement. It's always about
the ball placement. That's the most important thing to pitch. Spin.
(17:12):
Spin rate, yeah, yeah, spin, Right's good point. Thank you, Cooper.
See Coops on my side. You see that Coops on
my side? There there was no spin on it. He
just floated there like a bus a lie. The videos
on the internet, you can sign the VIDEOSI thank you,
truck or Joe A good job by you, good job bye.
That's trucker Joe on the highways and bioys. I don't
(17:35):
know where he is, somewhere in Pennsylvania or something like that.
No idea, who knew? All right, anyway, I didn't want
to measure. If you're just tuning in to the show
we have coming up in a little bit, we're gonna
have a radio game show too much or not enough.
We began the hour with a Mallard monologue, a Mallard monologue,
(17:57):
all about all about the Carolina Panthers, some comments, we're
parsing the words of Matt Rule, the coach of Carolina.
So that is what he said about Sam Darnald. There
very very positive about Sam Donald. I know you gotta
play that game. But a little ridiculous Riek who quit
the show last week, but it's back listening in Minnesota
(18:19):
says Solid B monologue. Does Sam Donald deserve a second
chance with a different team, Sure, but I'm firing that
idiot for saying they have complete confidence in Donald. I'm
seeing ghosts. Matt in Indie says, I just don't get it.
Been but this love for Sam Donald. He has a
(18:39):
Kille Smith written all over him. His rich uppity family
must have some compromising photos of all these for all
these Sam Donald the tongue massages that he's getting some
fiery hot content. And I am told it's been too long.
I have a little ticker here in the studio. And
(19:03):
what happened to Yankee Stadium? Roberto, can you remind me
what happened to Yankee Stadium? I forget the Yankee fans
did something for Jose Altube out standing, out standing, all right,
(19:24):
Let's go to the phones. Eight seven seven ninety nine
on Fox is the number eight seven seven nine nine
six sixty three six nine if you would like to
be part. Oh now, the security guards tell the fans
to watch their language because it told me that a
lot of times in the left fild pavilion. Yeah, well,
did the public address an answer? Who's an old LA
(19:44):
radio guy Paul Olden get on the PA system there
at Yankee Stadium say fans, will you please refrain from
users at Yankee Stadium? Of course, the PA guy for
the Yankees asked one of the most famous questions of
all time in my lifetime to Tommy Losorta, what's your
opinion of King King's performance? Olass? What's my opinion? Got
(20:07):
hit three? Home run? You asked me a question like that?
What do you expect me to say? Let's go to
the phone. Sean the Hood Guy, he's in that Lost
Angeles Hello, Sean the Hood Guy. Hey man, you know
FI two bay Man, this is part of the militia.
We all going to join it on this man. They
did us wrong. You know, they messed up my whole
Halloween night with my kids. Everybody that I knew that
(20:28):
everybody's house. I was trick or treat that they was
all dodging fans. Everybody had them dodging Jersey Dodgers. Had
Dodgers lost that game, everybody's slapping their dos to turn
off their porchlight. Kind of crazy, but I'm gonna jump
in with you, Big Ben. I'm down with you on
that one. Number two, I want to ask to hommy Eddie,
how do you feel about these Pittsburgh pickups? You know
we got from the draft. Man, they did pretty good
on the running back. But I'm tired of hearing all
(20:50):
these commentators keep talking about Levan Bell Levean Bills, and
it's a dirty piece of draws to me. Man, he
ran to another team trying to grab a championship. It
didn't work out. So how do you think about the
running back we got, Eddie? Yeah, I mean, I think
the comparison is that, you know, he is a good
receiver out of the backfield and a hard runner. So
that's the That's why their comparison comparing him to Levia Bell.
(21:10):
I wasn't sure about drafting the tight end there with
the second pick. I don't know that that's uh, that
was a place of need. But you prop up Ben Roethlisberger.
He's on his last legs here. Eddy had to prop
him off. Yeah, well, you need some offensive linemen to
keep to keep him upright and open up some holes.
But you gotta have it's gonna be all about yak
and the yak. It's gonna be yards after the catch
because he's not gonna He's not gonna chuck the ball
(21:31):
down the field. So you gotta, you know, find guys
that can break tackles and get down field. Yeah. Well,
I usually trust the Steelers when it comes to drafts,
though usually draft pretty well, Okay, cool, because I'm tired
everybody talking about Levi ya Bell. I'm thinking about Frank
o'harris in the first place, because they that catch would
never happen. If Frank o'harris couldn't catch out the backfield
and macl the session never happened. But uh, big Ben,
let me tell you something real quick to happen to
(21:52):
me the other day. Man. It's kind of days, I
wo and I heard this from from one of my
favorite comedians. But it happened to me though. I was
getting out work the other morn, so my wife had
the car so I jumped on the bus to go home,
and h I get on the bus and this guy
on the bus. He had on some black black leather boots,
black leather pants and a black leather jacket and his
(22:13):
hair was in like a rainbow, you know, rainbow or mohawk,
and a and an ear raintor was no. So I'm
looking at it, and I'm the whole time I'm sick
looking at him. I'm hearing the same joke that I
heard before about this, but it was happening to meat.
So he did the same thing. So he looked at me, said,
what you're looking at food? You don't You never seen
nobody dressed like this before. So by him being smart
like that, I came back with the joke that you know,
(22:34):
I heard that with days. I wooted me and I said,
well no, but I said, about twenty years ago, I
did have sex with a peacock and I thought you
was my son. So big Ben ihuted you later, all right, Wow,
wasn't expecting that peacock joke there? Did you expect that? Eddie?
I don't like your take on the steeler dry. That's
(22:55):
a bad take, Eddie. That's a that's a bad take
by you. No, it's not. Yeah, is he Your instincts
are wrong. You have to as a talk radio guy,
you have to always be waiting for the other shooter drop.
That's the key, right, You have to be cynical. You kids, well,
I trust him because they always get the picks right
and all that. No, no, that's the wrong way to
(23:16):
approach this. You have to be more cynical, So you
have to. It's not a lie. It's good at all.
The way you are. I will give you that. You
are excellent lying. I don't lie. Eddie is incorrect every
show multiple times. Did you like when mel Kiper had
a coronary. I saw the clip. I was watching the
NFL state sponsored network there um say sponsor media, but
(23:38):
I guess mel Kuiper freaked out. I saw the clip.
When they drafted the Steelers drafted Nja Harris, They're like, oh,
I can't believe running You're not supposed to draft running
backs in the first round. Eddie, that's a that's a
cardinal sin. I love that pick. Love that pick. Really,
you want to marry it? You love it? I would
absolutely marry that pick. That's a drop. You get to
(23:59):
Roberto he just said he would marry Nag Harris. Interesting. Interesting, Interesting,
you're really fishing for one there. That's a good drop.
All about drop placement, the key to these drops. Drop placement,
that's up the Roberto. It's an art we have, but
not our Martine Deace as many twice as many Ben
(24:21):
drops as anybody else. That's because there's a bias against me.
Just stuff that's incorrect, you guys, I like the extended winner.
You guys take stuff out of context and repackage it
and make me look like a schmuck. I'm a professional
talk shows. I do not goof around here. Eddie will
be til thousand dollars. I'll endorse a game magazine. What's
(24:42):
wrong with that? I'm on the woke train, come on, man,
and going wrong with that? And uh hey, I was
ahead of my time on that sound body and that
was edited anyway. Be sure to catch live editions of

(25:24):
with Ben mallow on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast or
wherever you get your podcast. We talked about the Brewers
Phillies game. Did you see they talk about coaches and managers.
They rarely win games, but sometimes they can lose games.
The Philly has had a six one lead in the
top of the seventh inning. Aaron Nola had just tossed
seven strong endings of work and manager Joe Girardi decided
(25:44):
to go to the bullpen. He called in reliever Inel
de los Santos. He went through his warm ups and
then they told Joe Girardi he can't pitch. He was
not listed on the light up card that dress turned
in before the games him ineligible, so they had to
pull him out of the game. Uh. The Brewers ended
up scoring four runs in the inning. I've got to know, Eddie.
(26:08):
But in the end, the Philly is We're able to
hold on, to take Joe Girardi off the hook. Afterwards,
he said, I am livid with myself, just stupid on
my part. He said, you always double checked the card,
but he missed it. He's losing his way. Didn't this
happen with the Milwaukee Brewers. They had a picture they
called into the game that was not able to pitch.
(26:29):
It's just happened a couple of weeks ago, twice in
the first month of the season. About COVID. Yeah, it's all, yes, yes,
you gotta have a boogeyman. You gotta have a fall guy. Right,
it's the COVID, right COVID. Yeah, man, all right, thank
you for that, Eddie. Joe Girardi. Imagine if he was
(26:50):
managing the Yankees and he did that, holy crazy. The
Philly fans will forgive him for that. Yeah. They're a
nice bunch there in Philly. It is the just look
at fast, look at a guy. Fans can't wait for that.
Mallard meet and greet and Amish country. That's gonna be great.

I would like to thank you for not being able
to sleep normal hours. It's good for our show. It's amazing, amazing. Benny,
I heard you say that you're always waiting for the
other scooter drop. I thought you Benny bright Side, well,
occasionally on Benny Brightside. But as a talk show host, Mo,
you have to bathe in the bath of negativity because
(28:20):
if you're too positive, who the hell wants to hear that?
You know, when you know everything goes smoothly, it doesn't
make the news. When things go bad, that's the news.
And the reason it's the news is because people are
gravitated towards negativity. That's how we're wired. Guys. I guess
you know one more think for Eddie. I don't know
how I will think. I didn't get suspended for the
(28:40):
rest of the season. I don't understand that, Eddie. The
guys trying to talk hockey with you, Eddie, and you're
not even responding. I thought we were playing a game.
That's the guys, shouldn't the guy should have been suspended
for the rest of the season. That's correct, That is correct.
You are correct. Give him, give him a right answer.
(29:04):
Let's play the game. Moll here we go. Come down.
We're gonna play the game very exciting. Earlier this week,
what we were you gonna say, nice time. I'm gonna
try to guess right. Yes, it's just a guessing game.
You got a fifty fifty chance. You got a fifty
percent chance if you're Benny Brightside of getting it right,
if you're the doomsday prophecies guy, you have a fifty
(29:24):
percent chance of getting it wrong. Earlier this week, Draymond
Green had his seventh game this season with at least
fifteen assists. Only three other non guards in NBA history
have had that many in a single season. Is that
too much or not enough? That sounds like too much?
(29:46):
Mo is going with too much, that's his guest. Let's
find out if Mos right? That is correct? Moll get
job by you too much? None other, no other, No
other non guards have that many fifteen assist games in
a single season. Question number two, you're one and all.
(30:06):
We're gonna get three right to win the game. Get
all five right, We'll go crazy, have a party. Question two.
Since the twenty six season, there have been nine nine
Grand slams hit by pitchers. Is that too much or
not enough? Nine Grand slams? I could think of Felix
(30:27):
Dernandez and the guy to Noah tonight. I can't think
of anybody else. I'm gonna maybe Madison Bumgardness. I'm gonna
go too much. He's going too much again, Mos going
too much. Let's find out now, believe it or not,
it's actually not enough. You mentioned Noah the Braves, he
had the thirteenth Grand Salami. Buy a pitcher. Since twenty
(30:52):
h six, they got hell these pictures to start throw
breaking bols to pictures. Well, my goodness, you know what
you gotta say, mos, get out the right bread and mustard. Grandma,
it's grand salami time. That's right. That might not mean
it in eumo because you're in Brooklyn, but our friends
in Seattle listening, that's a great get out to the
(31:13):
oodles and noodles. Yeah. Well, most people think like you
think traditional Brooklyn food. You think like pizza or something
like that. But but Brilli, it is hoodles and noodles,
that's really. And Kennedy Fried Chicken. Have you eaten at
Kennedy Fried Chicken? Mo? Um? No, I'm sure as we
(31:33):
got to do do it the kosher. Oh that's right, not
kosher there, you can't do that, I understand. Shalom. All right,
here we go. Question number what do we at? Question
number three? Number three? Since the RBI became official in
nineteen twenty, there have been nine pairs of teammates with
seven runs batted in in a game? Is that too
(31:55):
much or not enough? That I know is too much
because you had that stat couple of days ago. All right,
let's fine out right here, here we go. I'm impressed
by your retention mode. Good retention because the average listener
only pays attention to like twenty percent of what we say.
(32:18):
But good job. I listen to the podcast every single day.
But God bless you. Unbelievable. All right, here we go,
question number four. Question number four. You are up to
to a right one wrong? You get this right, you
win the game. This year, there were six schools with
at least nine draft picks in the NFL selection show

was gonna go the other way, but he said too much.
