Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, it's our number two at knife point, unless it's
not our two. The hour of baseball, playoff Baseball and
what stood out from the Detroit Tigers putting the Jose
alboob cheating Asstros on the brink of elimination of the
(00:22):
wild card round. Also, how are things looking for the
other teams that lost? The Orioles, the Brewers and the Braves.
And where do you stand on the newest edition the
Major League Baseball's Uniforms As Rob Manford continues to sully
the sport while claiming he's the guardian of the sport.
We'll get to all of that and more. A lot
(00:42):
of meat on the bone right now here, it is
our number two playball. Well come, in the beginning of
another hour of the Ben Malors Show.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
We are in the air everywhere, making interesting or dying
trying as we shine and dazzle all night long coastuck coast, border,
the border in beyond, on the vast and smashingly powerful
(01:14):
microphones of fsre emmating live.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
From the time ergo. It's October and this time it
counts unless it doesn't. We're broadcasting live from the ti
rack dot Com Studios Tiract dot com we'll help you
get there and unmatched selection, fast free shipping, free road
hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended installers. I know
(01:42):
DJ Spin in San Diego and Marcel and Brooklyn love
that tire rack dot com await tire buying showb SORR lead.
This hour is from Baseball. Baseball has been very, very
good to me. I spent my entire day from the
(02:02):
time I got up, which wasn't very early in the day,
until the time I walked into the studio here to
do the show, watching baseball, watching Paul Not all day long.
And so we're gonna start with that wildcard round. Now.
The winner of the wildcard round usually just wins game one.
(02:22):
It's best of three, so all you have to do
is win twice. Now, the winner of game one, they've
only been doing this a few years, but the winner
of game one has gone on to win the series
eighty eight percent of the time. They've had sixteen three
game series, and fourteen of the sixteen times the team
that won game one ended up winning the series, come
hell or high water. So I don't know whether you're
(02:45):
watching or not. Maybe you tuned out, You've got other
stuff going on. Maybe you sleep you're listening overnight unless
you're a podcast listener. Well, I watched in the American
League Triple Crown winner of pitching mister Schooble, Scooby Doobey
do to reach Schooble on the mound for the Detroit
(03:05):
baseball team, his first postseason victory and the first win
by a Tiger team in the postseason in more than
a decade. Where have you gone? Alan Trammel and Sweet
Lou Whittaker? Holy crap on a cracker. So he was
(03:27):
sensational in his debut, a three to one win. There
was some nail biting the Astros who looked like they
were blindfolded the cheaters. All of a sudden the ninth
inning they found something on one of those buzzers started working,
but they did not work enough. As Jason Hayward is
he a trojan horse planted by the Dodgers? The ex
(03:48):
Dodger there lining out to end the game. Scooble allowed
just four singles, that's it, one walk in six innings
and the Detroit baseball team now went way from advancing.
So let us discuss the question what stood out from
the Motor City Kitties the baseball version, the Tigers putting
(04:09):
Jose Alboove and the cheating a rows on the brink
of elimination. So I've got masterclass, movie theater, popcorn, and
Ricky Bobby and we will combine all of these things
together and take you to the barbershop for a haircut.
(04:31):
So num Burn. Yeah, we're not writing the eulogi yet.
We're not, although I'm looking forward to that. I anticipate
a very joyous shot in Freud, a heavy Malard monologue
hopefully coming up in the next show. But it's hard
for us to fully enjoy Detroit winning. I know it's
(04:56):
only one year, but because they are managed by the
kingpin of the twenty seventeen A holes aj Hinch, right,
and so I'm trying to compartmentalize that for the greater good.
And I will agree with you. I got an email
from a guy in Michigan who lives in up in
(05:16):
the what's the top part of Michigan called their little
Mutton thing there. He said, hey, listen, I love your show.
Listen you know, a couple times a week, and you
should support the Tigers. And he pointed out the Tigers
are the lesser of two evils, and that is true.
The Tigers are the lesser of two evils. It's still
hard for me to sport anything Hinch is involved in.
(05:36):
But regardless of that, Scooball put on a master class.
There was no public defication. You don't know what you
don't know with these pitchers that don't have a lot
of postseason or any postseason opportunities. Right keeping the cheaters
lineup at Bay, keeping them on the off balance side
(05:59):
in the batter box, and validating that the triple crown
of pitching in the regular season is legitimate. It's always fun.
I think people that like good versus evil like when
the A Holes lose, and for them to lose at
home is even better. The one one thousand, two one
thousand Holes have now lost not one, not two, not three,
(06:22):
not four, not five. How about six straight playoff games.
They're pulling their hair out at this point. There and
the den of iniquity that is Minute Made Park in Houston.
Six straight home playoff losses. Remember a few years back
when the Washington Nationals used that natitude and they won
every game if I remember correctly, in the Den of
(06:44):
Iniquity and winning there in Houston, so if you're the cheaters,
what adjustments do you make? Will you probably run down
to your local home depot or your lows and get
some new trash cans, and maybe you can contact their
friends over at rapid radios and get some new tech
and put a rapid radio in every uniform and see
if you can communicate that way. The possibilities are endless,
(07:07):
all right now page two here, as we continue our
hour of baseball. So how are things looking for the
other teams that lost? The Orioles, the Brewers, and the
Padres at this point one game in to the wildcard run.
As we're doing this in real time, So the things
are looking The forecast is depressing, with a chance of
(07:28):
even more depression, right, all three of them now facing
based on the last couple of years, twelve percent odds
of advancing, eighty eight percent chance they lose. But that
tells you what has happened, not what's going to happen.
But if you were to make a big board, not
a list, I don't do this, but if you made
a big board, big Ben's big board, of the teams
that lost, the team that is probably the Angers or
(07:50):
should be the angriest for the Birds. It is especially
bleak for the Birds. And here's why you go back
in the hot tup time machine. What did Baltimore do
to get ready for this season? They made the big splash,
They made their hey we've got a new owner, we're
going for it move. And they got Corbin Burns from
(08:15):
Milwaukee this offseason, a cy young pedigree pitcher, and mister
Burns was on the mound for Game one, and he
pitched well enough to win the game. He had been
shaky at times the last month of the season, or
last month and a half of the season, but he
pitched well enough to win the game. Just not well enough,
as someone named Cole Reagan's of the Kansas City baseball team,
(08:39):
who now has the O's on the brink of elimination.
Baltimore has lost nine straight playoff games, the Orioles nine.
I know somewhere in a land far far away, helmet
man is reeling from this loss. But Burns is all
(09:00):
so free to roam around the big leagues once this
Wildcard round is over. Should Baltimore lose, as he did
not sign an extension, and he is a soldier of
fortune that will go to the highest bidder. All right
now in Wisconsin, the brew crew were out muscled by
the mess That this one stings a lot too, because
the Brewers jumped out to an early lead. They hung
(09:21):
a crooked number up. But it appears to be the
same old song and nance for Milwaukee. They beat up
on the Cubs, the Reds, and the Cardinals in the
regular season, only only to get down to the fetal
position and start sucking the thumb in the playoffs, Rinse, Washington, Repeat.
Now there's a scenario where the Brewers come back and
(09:41):
win that, so we're not ready to completely write them off.
I don't think the Mets are an amazing team, but hey,
I know they call themselves the Amazing Mets. And then
the final game of Day one of the Wildcard Round
in Sunday Ago, where the King was on the mound,
Michael King, former Yankee who look like Madison bump Gardener
for the Pod squad as he absolutely slayed their dragon,
(10:05):
or at least the Bravos. There's no excuse for the
Braves to play that way. I saw a lot of
dopes on TV. They're like, well, they traveled three thousand miles,
they had to play a doubleheader on Monday, and then
they had to play on Tuesday. Okay, so to the Mets,
they traveled half as far. But the Mets didn't get
molly wopped like the Atlanta baseball team did. The Braves
(10:27):
were sleepwalking. But amazing pitching by Michael King, Chef's kiss
playoff performance big time, all right. That's where you respect
players when they play in this pressure in October. It's
one thing to do it on a July afternoon when
there's ten people watching, but in the playoffs a little different.
But twelve strikeouts, seven shutout innings would have gone all
(10:51):
the way, but that's not allowed. It's taboo.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Now.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Eighty nine pitches got to take you out, so we
can save your Tommy John surgery for a couple of
starts down the line. But some general thoughts. General thoughts
on the baseball playoffs Day one here home field advantaged.
Who cares? Four games on Tuesday, three road teams won
score first. You're probably gonna win score first. You're probably
(11:14):
gonna win. Three of the four teams to score first.
One the Brewers, the only one that didn't. Tight took
a syndrome I jotted down on my notepad. Tight took
a syndrome is real. October the time of the year
where star players end up eating xanax like movie theater
popcorn to fight the anxiety. They just can't handle it.
Only two home runs in Day one, both by the Padres.
(11:37):
You had a conga line of pitchers. Each team averaged
four point one pitchers per game. It would have been more,
but the Mets and the Padres did not use very
many pitchers at all because of the way that shook down.
So a lot of pitchers, it'll be more pitching changes.
(11:58):
If pitching changes get your row, you're going to be
aroused for the next month watching baseball, all right, final point.
So I wanted to talk about something I saw that
I'm sure you saw if you watched the Baseball Plus
even our blind listeners saw this. Where do you stand
on the newest edition the addendum to the Major League
Baseball Playoff uniforms Now For those that might have missed it,
(12:23):
some company called strass to German Apparel Company. I don't
know what that is, but apparently they're a big thing,
and they put their logo on both sides of every
helmet used during the twenty twenty four mlbplaus it looked
like a Korean League baseball game. So my thoughts on this?
(12:45):
Where do I stand? This is the natural progression, the
natural progression, the latest move by Commissioner Rob Mann, fraud
to tarnish Major League Baseball, released by Major League Baseball's
greedy marketing aboratory. And it's the old lab leak right,
the lab Lee hypothesis that the illness escaped from Major
(13:07):
League Baseball's institute if you will, of you know of
science and marketing and all that, and uh, maybe eight
miles from a fish market. I don't know, but we
tried to warn you a couple of years ago. And
I'm not here to do a pirouet on the catwalk
and take a bow, but it's rather obvious this is
(13:28):
the direction things are going here. Once the froggy was released,
the froggy does not come back or go. This is
a example of the boiling frog. If a frog is
placed in a boiling pot of water, it'll jump right out,
Oh my god, I'm gonna die. But if it's placed
in a cold or room temperature pot of water slowly
(13:50):
heated up a little bit, it will not perceive the
danger and will swim around. La la la la la, la,
la la la. Slowly you turn up the heat and
eventually you can have that frog. Put some pepper on
that frog, and you can have frog legs and it'll
be cooked to death. And Major League Baseball slowly introduced
(14:11):
the advertising on uniforms to fans, all right, so mask
up the diseases here social distance. They started out with
a benign Nike patch on the jersey, so you got
a Nike patch over there, rather harmless. Then they added them,
maybe your team has an insurance patch on the uniform.
(14:31):
And now they have the helmet on the the sticker
on the helmet, batting helmet there, and you mark my words,
it's not gonna stop with the sticker on the helmet.
And they can get a major company or even a
minor company to cut them a jack. It's gonna be
like Ricky Bobby from talligated Talladega Knights, right, they'll be
they'll be pimping everything, right, They'll be like NASCAR. They'll
(14:55):
be out there with ads all over the uniform. The dream.
I remember years ago I had a conversation with a
sports executive, not a baseball executive, from another sport who
said the dream in America was to get how soccer is?
Have you seen the soccer jerseys where they don't even
have like the team logo. They just put across the
(15:16):
chess plate the name of the company, and like, people
that liked that sport of soccer support that and they
like buy the jerseys. How crazy is that? And the
people in American sports years and this is many years ago,
we're very upset. They're like, we want to be like that.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
Now.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
We want to sell right across the chess plate advertising
to Tesla or American Airlines and they're upset they weren't
able to do that, but they're slowly moving towards that model.
Are They're moving slowly towards that that position. All right,
it is the Ben Mallord Show. As we are rolling on,
(15:52):
we'll take your calls if we want. Speakeasy rules are
in effect also on X at Ben mallor be Mallard
also later this hour a Mallard of the third degree.
And if you stay with us in our three, which
will be next hour. This is our two, the a
block of our two, but next hour will have Lorraina
(16:14):
as she will stop by with the Queen of Hearts.
You can send in a question right now hashtag Queen
of Hearts. That way we know where to look on
X and we'll also take calls for that coming up
later on. But a major League Baseball owner has gone
where you're not supposed to go, has publicly admitted A
(16:36):
they meddled with the front office and B they called
out the name of a free Asian edition as being
a horrible decision. Those are two things that are normally
taboo in all of sports for owners. You never admit
you fed up, and you never ever name a player
(16:57):
on your roster as being a horrible decision. But it
has happened. We'll tell you who did it and what
the fallout from that is going to be. We'll get
to all that and we will do it next.
Speaker 5 (17:11):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maler

It's the Coop the Loop, Justin Cooper, and he's at
(17:42):
u H Bronco fan. Hey a Bronco fan, an l
from the Tyraq dot com Fox Sports Radio studios. It's

Speaker 1 (17:52):
The playoffs. So we're a loud. I've been told by
the powers to be we are allowed to talk baseball
now on a regular basis. The post season fun has begun.
Although all the top teams in baseball not playing right.
The top four teams have the buy on the wild
card round. They started that a couple of years ago.
And a major League Baseball owner has publicly admitted two
(18:14):
things you're never supposed to public admit. A they meddled
with the front office. And b one of their players
was a horrible decision. We'll explain what that's all about
coming up a little bit later. In the arbortit all
things baseball right now. And I did hear from that
prozac guy. He wrote back and said that he just
(18:35):
found the show a little while ago and he likes it.
It addresses all of the voices that he has. So
that's good to know all of his voices. Yeah, ahead,
you know you have a lot of Yeah. Tom in
Fullerton writes, and he says, did you see our dope
governor in California sign a bill extending last call for
(18:56):
boozing to four am? But only at one one location
in California, an upscale club at the Into It Dome.
There you go. I did not see that, but he
sent me the story here. Yeah, exclusive members only club
at the into A Dome. Have another there will be
(19:22):
allowed to serve alcohol till four am. The rest of
California will hear last call two hours earlier. How much
money do you believe the owner of the Clippers sent
to Gavin Newsom to get I mean, all you have
to do is pay off politicians, especially in California. So
how much money was sent to politicians in Sacramento to
(19:45):
get them to have one place in the massive entire
West coast basically of America where you can drink till
four am? Yeah? That's wild. Yeah, I am at And
they Assembly Bill thirty two oh six created a carve
out for the Intuitome. Wild. I did not see that. Yeah,
(20:11):
that's great. Who's gonna be there drinking till four a m.
By the way, who's going to be hanging out there?
We know who's who knows. I wonder what other stipulations
comes with that though, like what I don't know. Maybe
they have to have like a designated ride home, like
safety precautions. Well, they said they were worried about increased
drunk driving. But yeah, benefits the local economy. How does
(20:35):
that benefit the local economy? If you're drinking at a
private club at a basketball arena, how does that improve
the good people of Inglewood? I don't know. Anyway, it
is the Ben Malvershill. Thank you for that, Tom, that
was a good story. I did not see that one.
Who else do we have? Page down? Let's see here.
Maddie says, the discussion about playoff uniforms was driveting, even
(20:58):
hollering James was awake.
Speaker 5 (21:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Well, I am the fashionista of talk radio. Yeah, absolute
fashionista of talk radio so cal or Mark in Santa Monica. Rather,
it says major League Baseball uniforms are headed towards the NASCAR. Look,
I hate it, he says, yes, all right. Casey Carr
Holler says the story about the frog is a myth
and the Royals will beat the Orioles. Well, you can
(21:23):
call it a myth. People try to debunk it all
the time. But I believe in it. And if I
believe in it, it's true. That's all that matters. All right,
Go to the phones and we'll say hello to helmet Man,
the number one oriole Fan.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
Top of the morning.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Helmet man, would you like to give a pep talk
to the Orioles.

I don't go unless I get the party. They said it.
They said it at ten ten thirty in the morning
on Sunday, and uh I would have gotten there. I
would have missed every early game which I'm supposed to
be watching. I usually wanna go out there. I get
there very early, and I watch the early games from

Hot Yeah, the traffics and the trafficks a nightmare. That's
why I didn't go. I have to leave. I get
very early, so I changed my whole schedule around, and
I have to get up early in the whole thing. It's, Uh,
these are first world problems to have, but when I
go out there, it's like a whole commitment thing. And uh.
And unlike Eddie, I don't nap. Uh, you know, I
have to prepare for the show, so I can't just
sleep and and so there's a lot that goes into it.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
I went to the hotel down there, although you know,
I stay in my apartment. It's miles away. But I
just checked in and I was watching the Ravens game.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Oh congratulations, Yeah, but that the Ravens game wasn't until
the night time. That was after.

Not worried one bit about the Orioles line? Now not,
I was quite the scouting report on Zach Eflin minus
one thirty eight fabe actually currently minus one fifty six
open at minus one thirty eight. And I know you're
(26:11):
a big gambler. So that's exciting to you.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
I hope he finds his helmet.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
I know the sharps are betting on the Orioles the public.
It's not quite the same, but you see what happens.
Speaker 5 (26:25):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 6 (26:31):
Then remember that Jacksonville Jaguars employee who stole more than
twenty two million dollars.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Yeah, great documentary, Netflix making that documentary on.
Speaker 6 (26:41):
I'm sure he was the supporting his gambling habit. While
he has sued Fan Duel in federal court claiming that
the sportsbook exploited his gambling addiction and intentionally ignored its responsible,
responsible gaming and anti money laundering protocols.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Gotta have big balls, Yeah, you gotta have balls.
Speaker 6 (27:00):
And guy's fault.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
It's no personal accountability, it's somebody else's fast. I will
be talking more about that later on because they're the
odds are against him, but there is a way he
could win. Like, there's a way he could actually win
that lawsuit, which seems absurd, but it is twenty twenty four,
so what the what the bleepingy bleep all right. Time
Now for a fun fact that he a fun fat
(27:26):
man malor fun fact. So Aaron Rodgers is no longer
the old dude in the NFL, not the oldest. He's old,
but he's not the oldest dude. A nine time Pro
Bowl offensive tackle. Jason Peters, he's back, signing with jj
in Ranton, Seattle Seahawks on the practice squad at age
(27:47):
forty two, forty two years old. He begins his twenty
first NFL season, and he was with Seattle for part
of the year last year. And he is now the
oldest player in the NFL. Wow, Jason Peters, who is
He's back, so we'll see and he actually plays, but
(28:10):
he was there, and Jason Peters caught the first touchdown pass.
You remember who threw their first career touchdown pass to
Jason Peters. No, you don't, but it was with the
Buffalo Bills. Bill's maffia' is like, oh, I remember, I
remember JP lospin first career touchdown pass was caught by
(28:30):
Jason Peters. Lossman has been out of the NFL for
over a decade and this cat is still it is
still playing his kiddy cat for sure. Let's say Hello
to hollering James, who's in Minneapolis, minassault Hello, hollering James, James.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
Just what he's doing.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
I don't want to know. Keep your pants on.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
Smack him some salted nut rolls.
Speaker 5 (29:03):
Get some Mountain New Energy drink with a red ball
in it.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Well, that sounds like a good idea. That is the
diet of champions for someone that has the health trauma
is good as what you call it? A nut roll?
Is that what you call it? That's a that's a
candy bar? Right, Yeah, those are very good, by the way,
(29:32):
I love those. I haven't had one in a while,
but they're very delicious. But you shouldn't be eating what are.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
You doing ten thousands pana?
Speaker 1 (29:41):
Oh no, Tammy's trying to kill you. No, James, No,
you don't need to be eating that. I'm sweet nuts,
aren't they? That company that makes them is in your area? Right?
There are many Minnesota based company. I believe the assaulted
nut rush.
Speaker 3 (30:03):
What you call it?
Speaker 5 (30:06):
What's your name like that?
Speaker 3 (30:08):
What that lady you work with?
Speaker 5 (30:10):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (30:10):
Boy, yeah, I'm sure he is.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
He Yes, mine, I'm root to try.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
I like to hear myself on delay. I don't get
to hear myself because I'm always doing the show. But
I like that you leave the show on. I think
we need a big board. I think the dress of
this call up. But does anyone just how about a
big board? Hollering James. Top five candy bars right now?
Top five? Love that big board, James. What's number five
on your big board? Top five candy bars? A milky Way,
(30:48):
milky Way number five, one solid candy bar. There's like
three hundred million they sell annually. All right, number five,
the milky Way number four on big Hollering James, big
board of top candy bars. Scratch No, Nestley's cock delicious, solid,
but not normally.
Speaker 4 (31:09):
I agree with Loraina. I'm pretty pretty basic.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
Not on many people's top five lists. That's why you're
a shock jock. Hollary James. Not many people. The milky Ways,
all right, it depends, but it helps.
Speaker 6 (31:22):
All Musketeers is garbage.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Wait, wait, where's three Musketeers? That's number three? All right,
three Musketeers garbage. That's just that's just the nouga. That's
the nougat and the chocolate. It is fun to suck
on though. Hey, okay, that's a drop. And number two
on hollering James flash Mob big Board top candy bars.
(31:45):
Number two, Oh the solid that is the number one
selling candy bar in the United States. They sell like
I think around the world, like two billion or something.
The Snickers bars. Here you go the moment truth. Number
one on hollering James big Board a man that has
diabetes for meeting so many candy bars. He loves these
(32:08):
candy bars. The number one candy bar is.
Speaker 6 (32:14):
That's a candy bar.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
That's not it's a pump, it's a peanut butter.
Speaker 4 (32:19):
No, no, he said, Reese's pieces.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
All the all the you don't get a golden maybe
candy bars. I was trying to dress up your call
because it sucked. That's why I did that. But no,
it has nothing to do with anything. And you didn't
even put the nutbar on there. What's up with that?
You didn't put the nut You're just praising the nutbar.
You didn't put it on there. What's up with that?
Speaker 3 (32:42):
I'm saving this und.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
You already said the number one. You already gave the
number one.
Speaker 5 (32:51):
That was out of them. Number one.
Speaker 3 (32:55):
I don't mean candy.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
I'm a candle. What about you can't tell the way
you look. What are your thoughts on butterfinger and baby Ruth.
Speaker 3 (33:04):
I love fingers, Baby Ruth, I love baby room home.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
Right, he's so high on whatever he's doing there. All right, well,
thank you, all right, he's gonna stop talking, just keeps
going all right. Time. Now for the Insta trivia, we'll
have Mallard of the third degree. Here's the Insta trivia.
We'll push back that MLB owners story. I want to
(33:29):
I want to let that breathe a little bit. But
quarterback Jared Goff another stat about his game Monday night.
He said a single game NFL record for most passing
yards and attempts without an incompletion. The previous record for
most passing yards in a game with no incompletions was
held by blank. That's the Insta trivia. The answer. We'll
(33:50):
get to it and we will do it next.

Now for the instant trivia and Mallard of the third Degree.
Jared Goff that Lions QB said a single game NFL
record for most passing yards and attempts without an incompletion.
You probably knew that the previous record, though for most
passing yards in a game with no incompletions, was held
by Blank. That is the question. What is the answer?
(34:49):
And let's see does anyone know the answer? In the
Malard Militia Jerald R. Ford guest by I forty, Ian
Jackson Skellington from Cowboy Killer, The Iron Sheik from Our Guy,
Robin Vegas, Matt Cavanah from Alf the Alien Opiner. Who
(35:09):
else do we have? Page down? Shane Flacco from Eloy
in Compton. Page down. Kelly Rippa, who is fifty four today.
All right, there you go, Happy birthday, I guess. Josh Rosen,
who is at the Penn School of Business, The Wartham
School of Business at ten from Eke and Rosevield, Minnesota,
Ricky Van Shelton from far Out, Dave Stan Gelbag guests
(35:32):
by Pauli d Uncle Fester. Unless it's not from Andy
Alino Lakes. Who else do we have page down? I
can't read that, Doctor Richard H. Thorndyke. Who else do
you we have page now? That's what milkman Mike in
Colorado hollering, James chocolate tear from Cathy in Madison, Wisconsin.
(35:53):
What say you, Eddie?
Speaker 6 (35:54):
Former Atlanta Falcons legend Billy Joe Tolliver.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
Fine answer, but unfortunately acts the former Washington Washington Redskins
quarterback from the nineteen thirty nine Redskins, Frank phil Cock.
Speaker 4 (36:07):
That's the answer.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
One hundred and seventy nine yards without in the implation
here we go, here we go? How about that?
Speaker 5 (36:17):
To the third degree?
Speaker 1 (36:20):
This is one big Ben gets grilled Google.
Speaker 4 (36:24):
During the first half of the Broncos win against the Jets,
bow Knicks was having a historically bad performance. Well, the
second half was better. Overall, it's still pretty awful.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
Ben.
Speaker 4 (36:35):
Do you foresee any scenario in which Sean Payton would
make a change at quarterback?
Speaker 1 (36:38):
This season. No, because as long as bo Nix is
showing signs of improvement, which by the way, he's not
right now, but they're gonna do everything they can to
keep him out there because once they make that change,
who are they gonna go to Jared Stidham's That's he's
not much better. And I don't think Zach Wilson is
any better. He's a preseason all August guy. So they
(37:01):
got to continue down this path now where it does
get a little bit dicey if the Broncos can squeeze
together a few more wins and end up in the
wild card race. Once you get down to week seventeen
or eighteen, then it becomes even more interesting. But at
this point, I'm gonna go no.
Speaker 4 (37:17):
Next and Jordan Love's first game back from injury, the
Packers looked like they were gonna be blown out by
the Vikings. However, Green Bay outscored in Minnesota twenty two
to three in the second half to make it interesting. Ben,
do you think the Packers can still help to win
the NFC North?
Speaker 1 (37:30):
Yes, I mean, the Vikings are playing great right now,
but you still don't trust Sam Darnold. There's always the
injury thing that pops up and all that. The Vikings
have been very impressive, but I wouldn't guarantee anything after
four weeks of the season. We'll see how they do
in London next.
Speaker 4 (37:46):
Through four weeks of the season, Texans wide receiver Nico
Collins is on pace to be the first player ever
to have two thousand receiving yards in a season. Stopped
me if you heard this before? Ah yeah, Ben, do
you think it can happen?
Speaker 3 (37:57):
Well?
Speaker 1 (37:57):
Every year it's whether it's the Fawn Diggs one year,
or Cooper Coupp or player X last year was Pooka Nukula.
I always go know, because you got injuries, you got
a lot of other factors. How did we do?
Speaker 5 (38:11):
Coop?
Speaker 1 (38:11):
He passes it wanted that the buzzer. That was a
buzzer beer? Why is the buzzer?
Speaker 2 (38:17):
Wow?
Speaker 4 (38:18):
What
Hello, it's our number two at knife point, unless it's
not our two. The hour of baseball, playoff Baseball and
what stood out from the Detroit Tigers putting the Jose
alboob cheating Asstros on the brink of elimination of the
(00:22):
wild card round. Also, how are things looking for the
other teams that lost? The Orioles, the Brewers and the Braves.
And where do you stand on the newest edition the
Major League Baseball's Uniforms As Rob Manford continues to sully
the sport while claiming he's the guardian of the sport.
We'll get to all of that and more. A lot
(00:42):
of meat on the bone right now here, it is
our number two playball. Well come, in the beginning of
another hour of the Ben Malors Show.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
We are in the air everywhere, making interesting or dying
trying as we shine and dazzle all night long coastuck coast, border,
the border in beyond, on the vast and smashingly powerful
(01:14):
microphones of fsre emmating live.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
From the time ergo. It's October and this time it
counts unless it doesn't. We're broadcasting live from the ti
rack dot Com Studios Tiract dot com we'll help you

hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended installers. I know
(01:42):
DJ Spin in San Diego and Marcel and Brooklyn love
that tire rack dot com await tire buying showb SORR lead.
This hour is from Baseball. Baseball has been very, very
good to me. I spent my entire day from the
(02:02):
time I got up, which wasn't very early in the day,
until the time I walked into the studio here to
do the show, watching baseball, watching Paul Not all day long.
And so we're gonna start with that wildcard round. Now.
The winner of the wildcard round usually just wins game one.
(02:22):
It's best of three, so all you have to do
is win twice. Now, the winner of game one, they've
only been doing this a few years, but the winner
of game one has gone on to win the series
eighty eight percent of the time. They've had sixteen three
game series, and fourteen of the sixteen times the team
that won game one ended up winning the series, come
hell or high water. So I don't know whether you're
(02:45):
watching or not. Maybe you tuned out, You've got other
stuff going on. Maybe you sleep you're listening overnight unless
you're a podcast listener. Well, I watched in the American
League Triple Crown winner of pitching mister Schooble, Scooby Doobey
do to reach Schooble on the mound for the Detroit
(03:05):
baseball team, his first postseason victory and the first win
by a Tiger team in the postseason in more than
a decade. Where have you gone? Alan Trammel and Sweet
Lou Whittaker? Holy crap on a cracker. So he was
(03:27):
sensational in his debut, a three to one win. There
was some nail biting the Astros who looked like they
were blindfolded the cheaters. All of a sudden the ninth
inning they found something on one of those buzzers started working,
but they did not work enough. As Jason Hayward is
he a trojan horse planted by the Dodgers? The ex
(03:48):
Dodger there lining out to end the game. Scooble allowed
just four singles, that's it, one walk in six innings
and the Detroit baseball team now went way from advancing.
So let us discuss the question what stood out from
the Motor City Kitties the baseball version, the Tigers putting
(04:09):
Jose Alboove and the cheating a rows on the brink
of elimination. So I've got masterclass, movie theater, popcorn, and
Ricky Bobby and we will combine all of these things
together and take you to the barbershop for a haircut.
(04:31):
So num Burn. Yeah, we're not writing the eulogi yet.
We're not, although I'm looking forward to that. I anticipate
a very joyous shot in Freud, a heavy Malard monologue
hopefully coming up in the next show. But it's hard
for us to fully enjoy Detroit winning. I know it's
(04:56):
only one year, but because they are managed by the
kingpin of the twenty seventeen A holes aj Hinch, right,
and so I'm trying to compartmentalize that for the greater good.
And I will agree with you. I got an email
from a guy in Michigan who lives in up in
(05:16):
the what's the top part of Michigan called their little
Mutton thing there. He said, hey, listen, I love your show.
Listen you know, a couple times a week, and you
should support the Tigers. And he pointed out the Tigers
are the lesser of two evils, and that is true.
The Tigers are the lesser of two evils. It's still
hard for me to sport anything Hinch is involved in.
(05:36):
But regardless of that, Scooball put on a master class.
There was no public defication. You don't know what you
don't know with these pitchers that don't have a lot
of postseason or any postseason opportunities. Right keeping the cheaters
lineup at Bay, keeping them on the off balance side
(05:59):
in the batter box, and validating that the triple crown
of pitching in the regular season is legitimate. It's always fun.
I think people that like good versus evil like when
the A Holes lose, and for them to lose at
home is even better. The one one thousand, two one
thousand Holes have now lost not one, not two, not three,
(06:22):
not four, not five. How about six straight playoff games.
They're pulling their hair out at this point. There and
the den of iniquity that is Minute Made Park in Houston.
Six straight home playoff losses. Remember a few years back
when the Washington Nationals used that natitude and they won
every game if I remember correctly, in the Den of
(06:44):
Iniquity and winning there in Houston, so if you're the cheaters,
what adjustments do you make? Will you probably run down
to your local home depot or your lows and get
some new trash cans, and maybe you can contact their
friends over at rapid radios and get some new tech
and put a rapid radio in every uniform and see
if you can communicate that way. The possibilities are endless,
(07:07):
all right now page two here, as we continue our
hour of baseball. So how are things looking for the
other teams that lost? The Orioles, the Brewers, and the
Padres at this point one game in to the wildcard run.
As we're doing this in real time, So the things
are looking The forecast is depressing, with a chance of
(07:28):
even more depression, right, all three of them now facing
based on the last couple of years, twelve percent odds
of advancing, eighty eight percent chance they lose. But that
tells you what has happened, not what's going to happen.
But if you were to make a big board, not
a list, I don't do this, but if you made
a big board, big Ben's big board, of the teams
that lost, the team that is probably the Angers or
(07:50):
should be the angriest for the Birds. It is especially
bleak for the Birds. And here's why you go back
in the hot tup time machine. What did Baltimore do
to get ready for this season? They made the big splash,
They made their hey we've got a new owner, we're
going for it move. And they got Corbin Burns from
(08:15):
Milwaukee this offseason, a cy young pedigree pitcher, and mister
Burns was on the mound for Game one, and he
pitched well enough to win the game. He had been
shaky at times the last month of the season, or
last month and a half of the season, but he
pitched well enough to win the game. Just not well enough,
as someone named Cole Reagan's of the Kansas City baseball team,
(08:39):
who now has the O's on the brink of elimination.
Baltimore has lost nine straight playoff games, the Orioles nine.
I know somewhere in a land far far away, helmet
man is reeling from this loss. But Burns is all
(09:00):
so free to roam around the big leagues once this
Wildcard round is over. Should Baltimore lose, as he did
not sign an extension, and he is a soldier of
fortune that will go to the highest bidder. All right
now in Wisconsin, the brew crew were out muscled by
the mess That this one stings a lot too, because
the Brewers jumped out to an early lead. They hung
(09:21):
a crooked number up. But it appears to be the
same old song and nance for Milwaukee. They beat up
on the Cubs, the Reds, and the Cardinals in the
regular season, only only to get down to the fetal
position and start sucking the thumb in the playoffs, Rinse, Washington, Repeat.
Now there's a scenario where the Brewers come back and
(09:41):
win that, so we're not ready to completely write them off.
I don't think the Mets are an amazing team, but hey,
I know they call themselves the Amazing Mets. And then
the final game of Day one of the Wildcard Round
in Sunday Ago, where the King was on the mound,
Michael King, former Yankee who look like Madison bump Gardener
for the Pod squad as he absolutely slayed their dragon,
(10:05):
or at least the Bravos. There's no excuse for the
Braves to play that way. I saw a lot of
dopes on TV. They're like, well, they traveled three thousand miles,
they had to play a doubleheader on Monday, and then
they had to play on Tuesday. Okay, so to the Mets,
they traveled half as far. But the Mets didn't get
molly wopped like the Atlanta baseball team did. The Braves
(10:27):
were sleepwalking. But amazing pitching by Michael King, Chef's kiss
playoff performance big time, all right. That's where you respect
players when they play in this pressure in October. It's
one thing to do it on a July afternoon when
there's ten people watching, but in the playoffs a little different.
But twelve strikeouts, seven shutout innings would have gone all
(10:51):
the way, but that's not allowed. It's taboo.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Now.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Eighty nine pitches got to take you out, so we
can save your Tommy John surgery for a couple of
starts down the line. But some general thoughts. General thoughts
on the baseball playoffs Day one here home field advantaged.
Who cares? Four games on Tuesday, three road teams won
score first. You're probably gonna win score first. You're probably
(11:14):
gonna win. Three of the four teams to score first.
One the Brewers, the only one that didn't. Tight took
a syndrome I jotted down on my notepad. Tight took
a syndrome is real. October the time of the year
where star players end up eating xanax like movie theater
popcorn to fight the anxiety. They just can't handle it.
Only two home runs in Day one, both by the Padres.
(11:37):
You had a conga line of pitchers. Each team averaged
four point one pitchers per game. It would have been more,
but the Mets and the Padres did not use very
many pitchers at all because of the way that shook down.
So a lot of pitchers, it'll be more pitching changes.
(11:58):
If pitching changes get your row, you're going to be
aroused for the next month watching baseball, all right, final point.
So I wanted to talk about something I saw that
I'm sure you saw if you watched the Baseball Plus
even our blind listeners saw this. Where do you stand
on the newest edition the addendum to the Major League
Baseball Playoff uniforms Now For those that might have missed it,
(12:23):
some company called strass to German Apparel Company. I don't
know what that is, but apparently they're a big thing,
and they put their logo on both sides of every
helmet used during the twenty twenty four mlbplaus it looked
like a Korean League baseball game. So my thoughts on this?
(12:45):
Where do I stand? This is the natural progression, the
natural progression, the latest move by Commissioner Rob Mann, fraud
to tarnish Major League Baseball, released by Major League Baseball's
greedy marketing aboratory. And it's the old lab leak right,
the lab Lee hypothesis that the illness escaped from Major
(13:07):
League Baseball's institute if you will, of you know of
science and marketing and all that, and uh, maybe eight
miles from a fish market. I don't know, but we
tried to warn you a couple of years ago. And
I'm not here to do a pirouet on the catwalk
and take a bow, but it's rather obvious this is
(13:28):
the direction things are going here. Once the froggy was released,
the froggy does not come back or go. This is
a example of the boiling frog. If a frog is
placed in a boiling pot of water, it'll jump right out,
Oh my god, I'm gonna die. But if it's placed
in a cold or room temperature pot of water slowly
(13:50):
heated up a little bit, it will not perceive the
danger and will swim around. La la la la la, la,
la la la. Slowly you turn up the heat and
eventually you can have that frog. Put some pepper on
that frog, and you can have frog legs and it'll
be cooked to death. And Major League Baseball slowly introduced
(14:11):
the advertising on uniforms to fans, all right, so mask
up the diseases here social distance. They started out with
a benign Nike patch on the jersey, so you got
a Nike patch over there, rather harmless. Then they added them,
maybe your team has an insurance patch on the uniform.
(14:31):
And now they have the helmet on the the sticker
on the helmet, batting helmet there, and you mark my words,
it's not gonna stop with the sticker on the helmet.
And they can get a major company or even a
minor company to cut them a jack. It's gonna be
like Ricky Bobby from talligated Talladega Knights, right, they'll be
they'll be pimping everything, right, They'll be like NASCAR. They'll
(14:55):
be out there with ads all over the uniform. The dream.
I remember years ago I had a conversation with a
sports executive, not a baseball executive, from another sport who
said the dream in America was to get how soccer is?
Have you seen the soccer jerseys where they don't even
have like the team logo. They just put across the
(15:16):
chess plate the name of the company, and like, people
that liked that sport of soccer support that and they
like buy the jerseys. How crazy is that? And the
people in American sports years and this is many years ago,
we're very upset. They're like, we want to be like that.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
Now.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
We want to sell right across the chess plate advertising
to Tesla or American Airlines and they're upset they weren't
able to do that, but they're slowly moving towards that model.
Are They're moving slowly towards that that position. All right,
it is the Ben Mallord Show. As we are rolling on,
(15:52):
we'll take your calls if we want. Speakeasy rules are
in effect also on X at Ben mallor be Mallard
also later this hour a Mallard of the third degree.
And if you stay with us in our three, which
will be next hour. This is our two, the a
block of our two, but next hour will have Lorraina
(16:14):
as she will stop by with the Queen of Hearts.
You can send in a question right now hashtag Queen
of Hearts. That way we know where to look on
X and we'll also take calls for that coming up
later on. But a major League Baseball owner has gone
where you're not supposed to go, has publicly admitted A
(16:36):
they meddled with the front office and B they called
out the name of a free Asian edition as being
a horrible decision. Those are two things that are normally
taboo in all of sports for owners. You never admit
you fed up, and you never ever name a player
(16:57):
on your roster as being a horrible decision. But it
has happened. We'll tell you who did it and what
the fallout from that is going to be. We'll get
to all that and we will do it next.
Speaker 5 (17:11):

The playoffs. So we're a loud. I've been told by
the powers to be we are allowed to talk baseball
now on a regular basis. The post season fun has begun.
Although all the top teams in baseball not playing right.
The top four teams have the buy on the wild
card round. They started that a couple of years ago.
And a major League Baseball owner has publicly admitted two
(18:14):
things you're never supposed to public admit. A they meddled
with the front office. And b one of their players
was a horrible decision. We'll explain what that's all about
coming up a little bit later. In the arbortit all
things baseball right now. And I did hear from that
prozac guy. He wrote back and said that he just
(18:35):
found the show a little while ago and he likes it.
It addresses all of the voices that he has. So
that's good to know all of his voices. Yeah, ahead,
you know you have a lot of Yeah. Tom in
Fullerton writes, and he says, did you see our dope
governor in California sign a bill extending last call for
(18:56):
boozing to four am? But only at one one location
in California, an upscale club at the Into It Dome.
There you go. I did not see that, but he
sent me the story here. Yeah, exclusive members only club
at the into A Dome. Have another there will be
(19:22):
allowed to serve alcohol till four am. The rest of
California will hear last call two hours earlier. How much
money do you believe the owner of the Clippers sent
to Gavin Newsom to get I mean, all you have
to do is pay off politicians, especially in California. So
how much money was sent to politicians in Sacramento to
(19:45):
get them to have one place in the massive entire
West coast basically of America where you can drink till
four am? Yeah? That's wild. Yeah, I am at And
they Assembly Bill thirty two oh six created a carve
out for the Intuitome. Wild. I did not see that. Yeah,
(20:11):
that's great. Who's gonna be there drinking till four a m.
By the way, who's going to be hanging out there?
We know who's who knows. I wonder what other stipulations
comes with that though, like what I don't know. Maybe
they have to have like a designated ride home, like
safety precautions. Well, they said they were worried about increased
drunk driving. But yeah, benefits the local economy. How does
(20:35):
that benefit the local economy? If you're drinking at a
private club at a basketball arena, how does that improve
the good people of Inglewood? I don't know. Anyway, it
is the Ben Malvershill. Thank you for that, Tom, that
was a good story. I did not see that one.
Who else do we have? Page down? Let's see here.
Maddie says, the discussion about playoff uniforms was driveting, even

Well, I am the fashionista of talk radio. Yeah, absolute
fashionista of talk radio so cal or Mark in Santa Monica. Rather,
it says major League Baseball uniforms are headed towards the NASCAR. Look,
I hate it, he says, yes, all right. Casey Carr
Holler says the story about the frog is a myth
and the Royals will beat the Orioles. Well, you can
(21:23):
call it a myth. People try to debunk it all
the time. But I believe in it. And if I
believe in it, it's true. That's all that matters. All right,
Go to the phones and we'll say hello to helmet Man,
the number one oriole Fan.

They said it at ten ten thirty in the morning
on Sunday, and uh I would have gotten there. I
would have missed every early game which I'm supposed to

Hot Yeah, the traffics and the trafficks a nightmare. That's
why I didn't go. I have to leave. I get
very early, so I changed my whole schedule around, and
I have to get up early in the whole thing. It's, Uh,
these are first world problems to have, but when I
go out there, it's like a whole commitment thing. And uh.
And unlike Eddie, I don't nap. Uh, you know, I
have to prepare for the show, so I can't just
sleep and and so there's a lot that goes into it.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
I went to the hotel down there, although you know,
I stay in my apartment. It's miles away. But I
just checked in and I was watching the Ravens game.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Oh congratulations, Yeah, but that the Ravens game wasn't until
the night time. That was after.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
Yeah, it's pretty good. I was watching it. Uh and uh.
But after that, after it was over, I went down
the street and Mabrea and uh went to a place

Yeah, because I like to go to that good Will
down the street.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Well we the reason Fox Sports Radio has stayed where
we are in Sherman Oaks is good good Will. Uh,
and they know the employees can only afford to shop there.
So no, I'm kidding, but but no, you're more than
welcome to committed your helmet man. We're in the old
Rush Limbaugh slash Steve Harvey's studio setup. So yeah, you

My helmet in the in my storage, my OREO helmet

Yeah, well you're you got a lot of a lot
of crap. But do you want me to I gotta go?
Thank you? All rights, there's helmet man. How lucky are we?
Not worried one bit about the Orioles line? Now not,
I was quite the scouting report on Zach Eflin minus
one thirty eight fabe actually currently minus one fifty six
open at minus one thirty eight. And I know you're
(26:11):
a big gambler. So that's exciting to you.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
I hope he finds his helmet.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
I know the sharps are betting on the Orioles the public.
It's not quite the same, but you see what happens.
Speaker 5 (26:25):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 6 (26:31):
Then remember that Jacksonville Jaguars employee who stole more than
twenty two million dollars.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Yeah, great documentary, Netflix making that documentary on.
Speaker 6 (26:41):
I'm sure he was the supporting his gambling habit. While
he has sued Fan Duel in federal court claiming that
the sportsbook exploited his gambling addiction and intentionally ignored its responsible,
responsible gaming and anti money laundering protocols.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Gotta have big balls, Yeah, you gotta have balls.
Speaker 6 (27:00):
And guy's fault.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
It's no personal accountability, it's somebody else's fast. I will
be talking more about that later on because they're the
odds are against him, but there is a way he
could win. Like, there's a way he could actually win
that lawsuit, which seems absurd, but it is twenty twenty four,
so what the what the bleepingy bleep all right. Time
Now for a fun fact that he a fun fat
(27:26):
man malor fun fact. So Aaron Rodgers is no longer
the old dude in the NFL, not the oldest. He's old,
but he's not the oldest dude. A nine time Pro
Bowl offensive tackle. Jason Peters, he's back, signing with jj
in Ranton, Seattle Seahawks on the practice squad at age
(27:47):
forty two, forty two years old. He begins his twenty
first NFL season, and he was with Seattle for part
of the year last year. And he is now the
oldest player in the NFL. Wow, Jason Peters, who is
He's back, so we'll see and he actually plays, but
(28:10):
he was there, and Jason Peters caught the first touchdown pass.
You remember who threw their first career touchdown pass to
Jason Peters. No, you don't, but it was with the
Buffalo Bills. Bill's maffia' is like, oh, I remember, I
remember JP lospin first career touchdown pass was caught by
(28:30):
Jason Peters. Lossman has been out of the NFL for
over a decade and this cat is still it is
still playing his kiddy cat for sure. Let's say Hello

Smack him some salted nut rolls.
Speaker 5 (29:03):
Get some Mountain New Energy drink with a red ball
in it.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Well, that sounds like a good idea. That is the
diet of champions for someone that has the health trauma
is good as what you call it? A nut roll?
Is that what you call it? That's a that's a
candy bar? Right, Yeah, those are very good, by the way,
(29:32):

There are many Minnesota based company. I believe the assaulted
nut rush.

Speaker 3 (30:16):
He Yes, mine, I'm root to try.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
I like to hear myself on delay. I don't get
to hear myself because I'm always doing the show. But
I like that you leave the show on. I think
we need a big board. I think the dress of
this call up. But does anyone just how about a
big board? Hollering James. Top five candy bars right now?
Top five? Love that big board, James. What's number five
on your big board? Top five candy bars? A milky Way,
(30:48):
milky Way number five, one solid candy bar. There's like
three hundred million they sell annually. All right, number five,
the milky Way number four on big Hollering James, big
board of top candy bars. Scratch No, Nestley's cock delicious, solid,
but not normally.
Speaker 4 (31:09):
I agree with Loraina. I'm pretty pretty basic.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
Not on many people's top five lists. That's why you're
a shock jock. Hollary James. Not many people. The milky Ways,
all right, it depends, but it helps.
Speaker 6 (31:22):
All Musketeers is garbage.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Wait, wait, where's three Musketeers? That's number three? All right,
three Musketeers garbage. That's just that's just the nouga. That's
the nougat and the chocolate. It is fun to suck
on though. Hey, okay, that's a drop. And number two
on hollering James flash Mob big Board top candy bars.
(31:45):
Number two, Oh the solid that is the number one
selling candy bar in the United States. They sell like
I think around the world, like two billion or something.
The Snickers bars. Here you go the moment truth. Number
one on hollering James big Board a man that has
diabetes for meeting so many candy bars. He loves these
(32:08):
candy bars. The number one candy bar is.
Speaker 6 (32:14):
That's a candy bar.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
That's not it's a pump, it's a peanut butter.
Speaker 4 (32:19):
No, no, he said, Reese's pieces.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
All the all the you don't get a golden maybe
candy bars. I was trying to dress up your call
because it sucked. That's why I did that. But no,
it has nothing to do with anything. And you didn't
even put the nutbar on there. What's up with that?
You didn't put the nut You're just praising the nutbar.
You didn't put it on there. What's up with that?
Speaker 3 (32:42):
I'm saving this und.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
You already said the number one. You already gave the
number one.
Speaker 5 (32:51):
That was out of them. Number one.
Speaker 3 (32:55):
I don't mean candy.
Speaker 1 (32:56):

going all right. Time. Now for the Insta trivia, we'll
have Mallard of the third degree. Here's the Insta trivia.
We'll push back that MLB owners story. I want to
(33:29):
I want to let that breathe a little bit. But
quarterback Jared Goff another stat about his game Monday night.
He said a single game NFL record for most passing
yards and attempts without an incompletion. The previous record for
most passing yards in a game with no incompletions was
held by blank. That's the Insta trivia. The answer. We'll

Now for the instant trivia and Mallard of the third Degree.
Jared Goff that Lions QB said a single game NFL
record for most passing yards and attempts without an incompletion.
You probably knew that the previous record, though for most
passing yards in a game with no incompletions, was held
by Blank. That is the question. What is the answer?
(34:49):
And let's see does anyone know the answer? In the
Malard Militia Jerald R. Ford guest by I forty, Ian
Jackson Skellington from Cowboy Killer, The Iron Sheik from Our Guy,
Robin Vegas, Matt Cavanah from Alf the Alien Opiner. Who
(35:09):
else do we have? Page down? Shane Flacco from Eloy
in Compton. Page down. Kelly Rippa, who is fifty four today.
All right, there you go, Happy birthday, I guess. Josh Rosen,
who is at the Penn School of Business, The Wartham
School of Business at ten from Eke and Rosevield, Minnesota,
Ricky Van Shelton from far Out, Dave Stan Gelbag guests
(35:32):
by Pauli d Uncle Fester. Unless it's not from Andy
Alino Lakes. Who else do we have page down? I
can't read that, Doctor Richard H. Thorndyke. Who else do
you we have page now? That's what milkman Mike in
Colorado hollering, James chocolate tear from Cathy in Madison, Wisconsin.
(35:53):
What say you, Eddie?
Speaker 6 (35:54):
Former Atlanta Falcons legend Billy Joe Tolliver.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
Fine answer, but unfortunately acts the former Washington Washington Redskins
quarterback from the nineteen thirty nine Redskins, Frank phil Cock.
Speaker 4 (36:07):
That's the answer.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
One hundred and seventy nine yards without in the implation
here we go, here we go? How about that?
Speaker 5 (36:17):
To the third degree?
Speaker 1 (36:20):
This is one big Ben gets grilled Google.
Speaker 4 (36:24):
During the first half of the Broncos win against the Jets,
bow Knicks was having a historically bad performance. Well, the
second half was better. Overall, it's still pretty awful.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
Ben.
Speaker 4 (36:35):
Do you foresee any scenario in which Sean Payton would
make a change at quarterback?
Speaker 1 (36:38):
This season. No, because as long as bo Nix is
showing signs of improvement, which by the way, he's not
right now, but they're gonna do everything they can to
keep him out there because once they make that change,
who are they gonna go to Jared Stidham's That's he's
not much better. And I don't think Zach Wilson is
any better. He's a preseason all August guy. So they
(37:01):
got to continue down this path now where it does
get a little bit dicey if the Broncos can squeeze
together a few more wins and end up in the
wild card race. Once you get down to week seventeen
or eighteen, then it becomes even more interesting. But at
this point, I'm gonna go no.
Speaker 4 (37:17):
Next and Jordan Love's first game back from injury, the
Packers looked like they were gonna be blown out by
the Vikings. However, Green Bay outscored in Minnesota twenty two
to three in the second half to make it interesting. Ben,
do you think the Packers can still help to win
the NFC North?
Speaker 1 (37:30):
Yes, I mean, the Vikings are playing great right now,
but you still don't trust Sam Darnold. There's always the
injury thing that pops up and all that. The Vikings
have been very impressive, but I wouldn't guarantee anything after
four weeks of the season. We'll see how they do
in London next.
Speaker 4 (37:46):
Through four weeks of the season, Texans wide receiver Nico
Collins is on pace to be the first player ever
to have two thousand receiving yards in a season. Stopped
me if you heard this before? Ah yeah, Ben, do
you think it can happen?
Speaker 3 (37:57):
Well?
Speaker 1 (37:57):
Every year it's whether it's the Fawn Diggs one year,
or Cooper Coupp or player X last year was Pooka Nukula.
I always go know, because you got injuries, you got
a lot of other factors. How did we do?
Speaker 5 (38:11):
Coop?
Speaker 1 (38:11):
He passes it wanted that the buzzer. That was a
buzzer beer? Why is the buzzer?
Speaker 2 (38:17):
Wow?
