Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our naher.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Three O three ready to go talking bays Ball the
general manager meetings in the Valley of the Sun, and
what a day it was.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
You had the owner of the Yankees, hal Steinbrenner, coming
out saying that the last season was a joke. Then
you had Brian Cashman, who came out and said that
he's really effing proud of the Yankees. So Brian Cashman,
house Steinbrenner toss up question who's speaking the gospel on
the state of the New York Yankees. Also, Craig Council
(00:38):
says he joined the Cubs because he wanted a quote
new challenge. Are you buying that explanation from a native
of the Milwaukee area going to the blood rival Cubs?
And would Ron Washington or Buck Showalter be good fits
for the Angels managerial job. Both of them have met with.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
The Angels about taking over.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
In the dugout, we'll talk about all that high and
dry right here hanging out on the radio VI in
the podcast in our number three here it is.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
A Bronx brew ha ha.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Well come in the beginning of another hour of the
Ben Malors Show, we are in the air everywhere, popping
fresh as we run our own show coast to coast,
border the border and beyond on the mast and supercizedly
(01:40):
powerful microphones of fsre emmating live from the hammer as
we hammer away the hot takes all night long. We

Shoot me as we try to get in the groove
here in our number three. It's a big hour. We'd
like to alert all the affiliates down the line. We
will have the Iowa Minute coming down the pike a
little bit later this hour. The Iowa Minute the greatest
(02:26):
thirty six minutes in all of sports radios. We circle
gets the square, circle gets the square.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Of the Iowa Minute.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
But our lead this hour, our lead this hour, coming
from the world of baseball.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
They might be saying, why you're talking baseball. It's not
baseball season. What's wrong with you?
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Have you lost your way? Are you out of your
bloody mind? Why would you talk baseball? What is going
on with you. Well, A, I like baseball, and this
is a great time to talk baseball because it's all
the rumors, it's all the gossip. The World Series ended
a few days ago. But now we've got the hot
stove League headline.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
And from the General Manager meetings in Arizona. Oh what
a day it was.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
This is bringing back memories of the Bronx Zoo, the Yankees,
of the talk of the town.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Did the Yankees make a trade for a big name? Now?
Did the Yankees sign a big name free agent?
Speaker 4 (03:15):
Now?
Speaker 1 (03:16):
No, no, no, no no.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
What the Yankees did is have palace intrigue to the
tenth degree.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Now let me explain.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
So if he didn't see this, and you probably probably didn't,
is everything okay, Well, it's all relative.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Everything's relative.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
The Yankees owner hal Steinbredder, early in the day at
the GM meetings, admitted that the twenty twenty three vintage
of Yankee baseball, they had a bad year. He chatted
with reporters scribes at the General Manager meetings. In fact,
he went on to say, hal Steinbrener, spawn of George,
(03:52):
it was awful.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
We accomplished nothing. He barked at the media, the.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Fans did not get anywhere close to so what they deserve. Okay,
seems like a hot take. We like to take good job,
no sugar coating. But five hours later, the general manager
of the New York Yankees and his army of nerds,
Brian Cashman, he was asked about Yankee baseball and where
(04:21):
the Yankees are, and let's just say he has a
different spin on the current state of the New York Yankees.
Let's go to the audio tape.
Speaker 5 (04:33):
I think we have good baseball people, whether they're pro scouts,
whether they're coaches, whether they're the manager, whether they're the
general manager, whether they're analytics guys. I think we have
good people. I'm getting permission requests all over the place.
We just lost our bench coach to the Mets. As
a manager, I've got analytics trying to be poached to
other clubs right now. Our play development program no different
than other places. But again reinforcement that we got good people.
(04:55):
I'm proud of our people and I'm proud of our process.
Doesn't mean we're firing on all cylinders, doesn't mean we're
the vesting class. But I think we're pretty good personally,
and I'm proud of our people, and I'm also looking
forward to twenty four being a better year than twenty three.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
All right, So that last part there, three words, that's
all you need. Three words is the money quote pretty
effing good, Pretty effing good. So Cashman thinks he's doing
a pretty effing good job. Hal Steinbrenner said the team
had a bad year and was awful. You know what
(05:31):
that sets up as we discuss, toss up question, toss
up question for the electorate, Brian Cashman or Halse Steinbrenner.
Who is speaking the gospel on Yankee baseball? So I've
got hearing Aid trust Fund and Haunted mansion. As we
(05:51):
put all these things together, and we muddy the waters,
we muddy the water. So, first of all, in terms
of who is speaking the gospel, that would be a
rare w for hal Steinbrenner, the man who was in
charge of running the New York Yankees. This whole thing
is reminiscent of total dysfunction.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
And I'm here for all of it. I'm not a
Yankee fan.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
I just love the story. I'm all about the story.
It's cringeworth now. George Steinbrenner's spawn did not pull many punches.
He pointed out it was a bad year. As we said,
it was awful, accomplished nothing. That's the right side of history.
Then you've got Brian Cashman who sounds like a total
(06:36):
Mama Luke as he is working himself into a lather
as he's going through and talking about the nerds that
other teams want to hire. And of course he left
out when the Mets hired the bench coach. He left
out that the Mets didn't want to hire the bench coach.
That was a consolation prize because the guy they wanted
to hire.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
They didn't hire because they he wanted too much money.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
But speaking with such hubris, Brian Sshman for a guy
who put together, with a massive payroll, a team that
was melt toast. The New York Yankees eighty two eighty
barely finished out of the cellar. If it wasn't for
the Boston Red Sox, they would have been in last
place in the American League East. So it's clear and
(07:17):
obvious that Brian Cashman needs a hearing aid. Take him
down to Costco and get a hearing aid. Struggling to hear.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
The murmur in the room? What is the murmur in
the room.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
How Steinberger heard it now, I would like to go
back to a quote about a month ago. About a
month ago, Steinbrenner hal said last month that the Yankees
brass needed to check their egos at the door. Did
Brian Cashman sound like a guy that checked his ego
(07:49):
at the door? I'm asking for a friend. He was
walking around like the NBC peacock. He's going a victory
laugh at the GM meetings. Now he must have compromising
photos of the steinbrender Her family because the same clowns
are running the circus. Steinbrenner keeping Aaron Boone in the dugout,
the sock puppet, and then you've got Brian Cashman and.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
His nerds, the nerd ball for the mighty New York Kings.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
How mighty they have fallen, down down, down, down, down
down down.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Got some big names that'll blow your socks off.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Performance not up to the standard.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
All right.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Second headline from the North Side of Chicago Big Baseball
News this week, Craig Council has spoken about his decision
to leave Milwaukee to manage a division rival, the Cubs,
a blood rival, and it was asked about all that
he said the money quote Creig Council said that he
(08:50):
wanted a new professional challenge and he wanted to stay
close to home.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
So let's talk about this now.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Craig Council is saying that he joined the Cubs because
of a new professional challenge.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Are you buying what he is selling? So that would
be a no. That would be a no for me.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
This is what's known not a gangster's paradise, a sucker's paradise.
You gotta be a real rube to buy what Craig
Council is selling. A new professional challenge. Let's break that down.
So when did the Milwaukee Brewers win the World Series?
I must have been hibernating when they planted their flag
(09:31):
atop Baseball Mountain as the Kings of Baseball, because I
don't recall that happening. Maybe it did, I missed it.
Let me know, send me a message on X if
that happened. But as for being close to home, you
knew that Counsel was gonna bring up the fact that
you know, I love Chicago.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
You want to Upper Midwest.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Council is from Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin, which is in the
metropolitan geographic area of Milwaukee, so proximity it doesn't get
any better for proximity than coaching the Brewers.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
And this is what we thought it was.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
This is validation that Craig Council is a baseball savage.
He went for the money, which is fine, not saying
that's bad, but let's just call what is He went
for the money. As we anticipated, Counsel did not have
the marbles to answer the question. Honestly, he could have
gone to the highest bidder, and he did go to
(10:33):
the highest But now everyone assumed the position that the
Mets were going to corner the market and they were
gonna offer him the most money. And he met with
the Mets, he met with Cleveland team formerly known as
the Indians. He decided to not go to those teams
because the Chicago Cubs made him a godfather offer. He
felt everything out and he said, I'm going to Chicago,
(10:55):
and who cares about the Brewers and all that, because
I'm going to more than double my sound is gonna
get over seven million dollars a year, and that has
broken the record.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
He is the highest paid manager in average.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Annual salary in baseball history, making Craig Counsel and more
importantly the family of Craig council. They're all trust fund
babies at this point.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
They are just set up.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
Their council can go out and win seventy games for
the Cubs every year, and he's got the money now.
Final fly headline, Speaking of managers in Anaheim, is it
true the Angels are closing in on a manager and
will name a manager by the end of the week.
As we sit here on Wednesday, the end of the week,
(11:41):
a couple of days away, we have learned now that
the Anaheim baseball team has interviewed Ron Washington, Ron Washington
and Buck Showwalter.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
As they are zeroing in weasel term, zeroing in.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
On a candidate to be manager who has big league
managerial experience. Would Ron Washington or Buck Showalter be a
good fit for the Angels. So, reading the room and
knowing what I know about Artie Marino, the owner of
the Halos, Buck Showalter is in the lead, it's an
(12:23):
easier sell for Buck Showalter to be hired as.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
The Angel manager.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Either one of these guys would be a nepotism higher.
If they hire Ron Washington or Buck Showalter, it's hire
a friend. The general manager in Anaheim is in battled.
Perry mansion is under fire, right, He's looking to hire
somebody that he knows, and Manasian was in Texas for
(12:48):
a long time. He was a scout with the Rangers
when Buck Showalter was there and Washington both managed the
team in Arlington, and he was also with the Braves
the Angels GM when Washington was the third base. The
problem with one Ron Washington is it's kind of like
going to the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland, but it's real life.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
There's a lot of skeletons.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
Now.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
If people get second and third chances, Ron Washington would
be on his fifth chance.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
I think there's a lot of skeletons dancing around.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
He has lived a life, a full life of sex,
drugs and rock and roll, and normally play with Arti Marino.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
From what I know, he's pretty buttoned up, right.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
He's gotta stick up the old keyster and whatnot there
in Anaheim, So that'd be a tough sell. Buck Showalter
no checkered past. Buck just gets teams, usually the playoffs,
and then they end up gagging in the playoff, and
by comparison, Buck Showalter is barring. But it doesn't matter.
It's always a temp job. It's always a temp job
(13:46):
with the Angels. At some point Arti Marino is going
to sell the team. He wanted to sell it last year.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
It changed his mind.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
He will get rid of it at some point and
then whoever comes in will blow the whole thing up,
and that'll be that and blow it to smithereens, and
they'll bring a bunch of new people in.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
It is the Ben Mallard Show.

Speaker 1 (18:50):

Speaker 3 (18:52):
The correct answer to the Mallord Riddle of the day.
Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert said recently his off season
darkness retreat was an incredible experience. A darkness retreat the
answer to the Mallord Riddle of the day.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Let's go to the phones. Fortunately Poppy hung up again,
so we'll go to Angry Bill.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Hello, Angry Bill, Hey, what's just?
Speaker 10 (19:26):
And the the drug stuff? The best friends in prison
for killing the angel pitcher Ron Washington was a big cocaine.
I don't understand it. Why would they want to bring
back the cocaine after they've had the picture murdered by
your best friend?
Speaker 3 (19:43):
Well, the picture was actually murdered. He he killed himself.
But that's a different conversation for another time.
Speaker 10 (19:48):
Angry Bill, Oh no, it's my time now, I'm talking.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
Not Thanks for the phone call. I appreciate that at
some point he'll learn or also just stop calling. I'm
fine him stopping calling the show. They need him to
call the show, plenty of plenty of content. We don't
need his Yeah, and I need to clear the line
anyway because we're gonna have too much or not enough.
(20:12):
So if you want to play too much or not enough,
I will give out the number for this call up.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
We need somebody new.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Fresh, vibrant, exciting that actually will not suck at the game.
If you would like to be part of that, you
can hit us up too much or not enough eight
seven seven ninety nine on Fox, A coop will figure
out who we are going.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
To have now.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
I mentioned the Craig Council story and Counsel said he
wanted a new professional challenge.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
That's why he went to the Cubs from the Brewers.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
Well, it turns out the fine folks of Wisconsin, at
least a couple people in Wisconsin not real happy with
Craig Counsel. What's our evidence, what's our evidence that the
guy that had been the Brewers manager since twenty fifteen
and exitede stage left to go to Chicago is not
very popular. Well, it turns out that there's in a
(21:01):
little league person, we assume a little Brewers fan who
went to a little league baseball complex. I should say,
there's a complex in Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin that is named
in honor of Craig Council, and it was defaced with graffiti,
a act of vandalism. Somebody's so upset that Craig Council
(21:25):
is going to be in the Cub dugout. We're in
the Cub hat and the Cub uniform as opposed to
the Brewer colors. And so there was a graffiti artist
went out there and tagged up a sign. They tried
to cover it up with the tarp because it can't
have the the people seeing it. There there was a
three letter synonym for the word but, which I guess
(21:47):
for some reason is that for boating in Wisconsin, you're
not glow to.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Say the the word ass I guess not. But anyway,
there there was right there.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
Vandalism of a White Bay, Wisconsin little League signboard. Now
that that is gonna upset Craig Counts. That will annoy
Craig Counts, that will get them all upset.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
That's angry Cheese, not Angry Bill. We used to have
a guy named Angry Bill called the show. That's just
angry Cheese.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
And from the files of ridiculous things said by NFL coaches,
we present to you Arthur Smith. Now you don't know
Arthur Smith. He's the coach of the dirty Birds, the
Atlanta Falcons. Probably not for long the way things are going.
They don't have a quarterback there in Atlanta. They just
lost to a.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Guy that had changed teams five days earlier.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
Which is taboo in the orthodoxy orthodoxy of football, and
many people who play fantasy football very upset with the
running back in Atlanta not getting enough opportunities to do
his thing. Robinson, who looks amazing, He runs like the wind,
(23:04):
he's got a little bit of everything. You figure this
guy's gonna be a big star in the NFL, and
he hasn't gotten the ball hardly at all compared to
his talent level.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
And Arthur Smith was asked about this, he claims, the
Falcon coach, I don't know if you saw this one or not.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
He claimed that Bejon Robinson doesn't need the ball to
help the team. He does not need the ball to
what is he left guard for the Atlanta Falcons? Yeah,
shiver me, Timbers, what are you doing? Just admit you
fed up? You've screwed up. You don't have a way
(23:42):
to get him the football because your quarterbacks are terrible,
so you can't scheme him the football. Otherwise you would
give him the football, right, he would be at the
very top of the totem pole. If you look at
the food chain of players you want in the line
of domin to get the ball.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
He would be the guy. But he ain't the guy. Ah,
he's not the guy who's right there. That's not what's
going on.
Speaker 6 (24:08):

Speaker 10 (25:10):
Yeah, Yeah, it's a rising mecca.
Speaker 6 (25:15):
I guess that's right.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
I've had some listeners that have left Nashville because they're
annoyed the outsiders are coming in.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (25:22):
Yes, that's when California's coming to get bigger houses for
cheaper Yeah, all right.

play the game right now. Here we go. Too much
not enough? Kelly?

If you go five for five, very rarely does that happen,
you'll be in the fifty to fifty club and you'll
get your own. The game will be named after you
next week. It'll be the Kelly in Nashville Game. But
all you have to do is get three out of
five right to win the game. Here we go, Question
number one. All the answers are either too much not enough.
During the Monday night football game, What a stinker that was?
(26:03):
Keenan Allen became the fourth Charger ever with ten thousand
career receiving yards.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Is that too much or not enough? Too much Kelly
in Nashville says too much. Let's find out if he's
off to go one to know so as correct.
Speaker 6 (26:20):
That is correct.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
He is only the second Charger player to ever do
to do it former basketball player Antonio Gates.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
But he did a lot of that with the old
San Diego Chargers. Question number two.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Jalen Hurts has won ten straight games against teams that
enter the matchup with a winning record.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
It's pretty good.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
Is that too much or not enough for the Eagles quarterback?
Not enough, Kelly says, not enough, trying to go to
and oh, let's find out right again?
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Fight again? Who cannot be stocked?
Speaker 3 (27:00):
He has won twelve straight games against teams that have
a winning record that are tied with Teyton Manning and
Vinnie Testa Verdi for the longest streak since way back
in nineteen fifty seventy plus years ago.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Question number three, see j Stroud. He's a rookie.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
He just became the fifth player in NFL history to
have four hundred and fifty passing yards, five passing touchdowns,
and no interceptions in a game.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
Is that too much or not enough?
Speaker 3 (27:33):
Too much?
Speaker 1 (27:35):
Does Kelly make it three for three? Let's find out
the streak and see.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
There's no such thing as momentum, So that doesn't mean
you can't get this next one right, Kelly, right, because
we don't believe in momentum.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
Question number four for our friend Kelly in the Music City,
maybe this will be a Music City miracle.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
Nikola Jokic now has one hundred and fifteen career triple
doubles with the Denver Nuggets.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
Is that too much or not enough? For the Denver
big man?
Speaker 3 (28:04):
Not enough, Kelly says, not enough, trying to win the
game right now, Let's find out.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
Is she right?
Speaker 6 (28:12):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Oh? Too much? He does have one hundred and eight
career triple doubles. That's a lot.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
It's fourth most in NBA history, but not quite one
hundred and fifteen. He'll probably have that by January first.
But question number five, it comes down to this. This
is Game seven of the world, so this is the
Super Bowl. Kelly, do you understand the immense pressure right now?
Speaker 1 (28:37):
You're on overnight sports talk radio.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
The most coveted time slot to be on the radio,
and you're playing a game show and it all comes
down to one question.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Look my moment, your moment in the moonlight. Here we go.
Taysom Hill. He plays for the Saints.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
He just became the third player in NFL history with
at least ten passing touchdowns, ten receiving touchdowns, ten rushing
touchdowns in their career.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Is that too much or not enough? This is four
the win?
Speaker 4 (29:12):
Too much?
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Are you sure about that?
Speaker 6 (29:15):
Yes, I'm going with too much.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
You're positive I can't talk you out of that.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
No, you're a woman of honor. You're a strong willed woman.
I respect that is Kelly in Nashville Wright.
Speaker 4 (29:31):
Super Bowl time.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
No, not enough was the answer. Kelly. I tried to
talk to you into it, but you wouldn't go for it.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
You're not the only woman I haven't been able to
comiss the do things. So congratulations, Kelly.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
You do not win. But we have a nice party
gift a.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
Lifetime supply of nothing in a round trip to nowhere.
So I hope you enjoy that. That's nowhere, Oklahoma. That
is void if they ever get an airport.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
In nowhere, Oklahoma. But until then you can go there
whenever want.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
And when you want nothing, Kelly, think of the Ben
Mallor Show, the show that gives you nothing.
Speaker 6 (30:05):
Okay, Now I listen every day, So.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
God bless you. All right, Thank you, Kelly, having a
wonderful day. All right, thank you? All right, go away,
all right, we will nothing.

guess I wasn't paying as much attention back then.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
Next week is mid November.
Speaker 11 (31:38):

and eighty nine percent of the corn crop is in
the bin for twenty twenty three, while ninety.

Ninety seven percent of soybean they're in the bin and harvested.

huge disaster. Ben I didn't know that.

Not everything should be a masterpiece. You should up.

graphs and such. This week, though you learned.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
Now you have learned, give us the pork belly.
Speaker 6 (32:25):

Speaker 11 (32:25):
But in fact, though I thought I'd redeem myself in
a different way, ben I flew back to Iowa. Nobody
knows this. I flew back to Iowa on a mission
of secrecy.
Speaker 1 (32:35):

soybeans when you're walking around.

Speaker 6 (34:30):
To the minute Grain Prices.
Speaker 11 (34:32):
All right, Ben, Yeah, No, you've been hungering, craving, lusting
for this part of the Iowa Minute.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
Yeah, I've been fasting just for this part of the
Iowa Minute.
Speaker 11 (34:40):
Starving your you're drooling, needless to say, Ben, A common
occurrence in any community in America, getting picked up after
school by the bus or a parent, right, py Pretty common?
Speaker 5 (34:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (34:51):
A lot of kids that.
Speaker 5 (34:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (34:52):
Well, according to w h O TV in Des Moines,
allays going I checked my a song there all was
going U fine for an eye of boy until mommy arrived.
Thirty four year old Sammy Joe Thurman is in some
trouble after leaving the elementary school parking lot with her son.
So what's the problem there, Ben?
Speaker 3 (35:11):
What did she have a cow in the back of
the car or something like that until the cow comes
home and she had the cow with her?
Speaker 1 (35:17):
Just go home?
Speaker 11 (35:18):
No, it wasn't actually livestock related.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
Oh all right, Well, she.
Speaker 11 (35:23):
Didn't actually pick her son up. She didn't pick him.
Oh she kind of did. School surveillance footage captured her
driving out of the parking lot with her son clinging
to the driver's side mirror.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
Wow, oh my goodness. Oh man, that kid must be
the black sheep of the family right there.
Speaker 11 (35:41):
Well, allegedly other cars were passing her witnessing the parental
head scratcher, and she was incidentally charged with child endangerment.
Oh there's my music again.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
The kid must have said, what's that?
Speaker 5 (35:58):
Sorry?
Speaker 1 (35:59):
The auction something? She should have said, she just gunned
it right there.
Speaker 11 (36:03):
Well, there is more to this story, Ben, Let me guess.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
Is there alcohol involved in the story.
Speaker 11 (36:10):
She was charged with child endangerment in a no contact
order to boot but wait, there's more. Later, she was
charged with get this possession of a contraband in a
correctional facility after authorities found a substance believed to be
big surprise meth metham fetamine on her while being booked
(36:30):
in the Polk County.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
I wonder where she hid that jail. Interesting.
Speaker 11 (36:34):
A lot of places to hide when you get hide
it when you get stripped down like that. Uh, there's
a couple couple not limited choices.
Speaker 12 (36:41):
Ah, we have sort of a problem here, all.
Speaker 11 (36:45):
Right, Ben, let's get to the prime cut of the
Iowa minute. My job is, after all, to keep you
abreast of Iowa's four division teams. But not a chicken breast,
not chicken breast, just a breast, just the just the
phrase there. That Drake Bulldogs are six to zero in
the Pioneer League, six and three overall after a ten
to three win at merrist and Ben, according to my intel,
Marcel was there in Poughkeepsie stealing signs from Drake. Yeah,
(37:08):
we'll have to hear from Marcel and.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
That Marcell would steal the signs and then give the
wrong signs.
Speaker 11 (37:13):
Yes, he's actually working for Drake by stealing Drake signs
and then giving Maris the wrong signs.
Speaker 1 (37:18):
I think wrong, he should do infomercials. I think you
should do infomercials.
Speaker 11 (37:22):
Well, he got great pitch man Marcel in the morning.
I catch that.
Speaker 1 (37:26):
When I can the new chapplematic he could do.
Speaker 11 (37:28):
They'll slap a matic bulldogs dial dialomatic, Yes, rotary funds.
Six game win streak for Drake up next Presbyterian not
Lutheran or Baptist. Presbyterian.
Speaker 1 (37:38):
All right, Iowa, when they get together, throw out the record, Yes,
out the records.
Speaker 11 (37:42):
Yeah, but Drake has been red hot. I was a
minute the greatest thirty radio about in a minute twenty
left here we go. I was at the top the
pile of pig droppings known as the Big ten West.
After a ten to seven win over Northwestern. Here was
the only touchdown for the now number twenty two Hawkeys.
Speaker 12 (37:59):
It was just snap play, fake roll out right touchdown,
Iowa touchdown Iowa. Bacon Hill flip fit to addisono Springa
had a young sophomore from Sun Prairie.
Speaker 1 (38:10):
High School in Wisconsin. Gets the Hawks on the board.
Speaker 11 (38:13):
We get all the states involved in all.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
The because there's a lot of old sophomores. I like that.
Speaker 11 (38:17):
He's a young so young Safie, I mean in a
COVID sophomore. You know he's not that. I guess Gary
Dolphin from Learfield. Up next home against the Rutgers Scarlet
Knights of the round table pizza your favorite?
Speaker 3 (38:26):
Ben, My god, that must be an amazing is Oh

Speaker 11 (38:30):
That's gonna be in Io City. No roundtable pizza there,
But all right, maybe I can send them to Kirk Ference.
All right, Uh, no surprise here, Ben, the Northern Ile.
I'm running out of time. Northern Iowa. They slapped around
Western ill in fifty to six. It was thirty three
to nothing at halftime. Up next for them at Missouri State. Last,
but not least, a valiant comeback effort for the Iowa
State Cyclones as they hosted number twenty one Kansas.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
The sucking down and goal from the two yard line.
Speaker 12 (38:54):
Out of the shotgun, becked, and Rocco's gonna run it
left and he's hand for the textile.
Speaker 11 (39:00):
All right, we don't have time. I just stay ended
up losing twenty eight twenty one, and they.
Speaker 1 (39:04):
Are like the hedgehog.
Speaker 11 (39:05):
They're at Provo utahans Byu, that's.
Speaker 1 (39:08):
Your Iowa minute. It's like on the autobohb
Hello and welcome. It's our naher.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Three O three ready to go talking bays Ball the
general manager meetings in the Valley of the Sun, and
what a day it was.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
You had the owner of the Yankees, hal Steinbrenner, coming
out saying that the last season was a joke. Then
you had Brian Cashman, who came out and said that
he's really effing proud of the Yankees. So Brian Cashman,
house Steinbrenner toss up question who's speaking the gospel on
the state of the New York Yankees. Also, Craig Council
(00:38):
says he joined the Cubs because he wanted a quote
new challenge. Are you buying that explanation from a native
of the Milwaukee area going to the blood rival Cubs?
And would Ron Washington or Buck Showalter be good fits
for the Angels managerial job. Both of them have met with.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
The Angels about taking over.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
In the dugout, we'll talk about all that high and
dry right here hanging out on the radio VI in
the podcast in our number three here it is.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
A Bronx brew ha ha.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Well come in the beginning of another hour of the
Ben Malors Show, we are in the air everywhere, popping
fresh as we run our own show coast to coast,
border the border and beyond on the mast and supercizedly
(01:40):
powerful microphones of fsre emmating live from the hammer as
we hammer away the hot takes all night long. We

dot com will help you I get there and unmatched election, fast,
free shipping, free road hazard protection and over ten thousand

Shoot me as we try to get in the groove
here in our number three. It's a big hour. We'd
like to alert all the affiliates down the line. We
will have the Iowa Minute coming down the pike a
little bit later this hour. The Iowa Minute the greatest
(02:26):
thirty six minutes in all of sports radios. We circle
gets the square, circle gets the square.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Of the Iowa Minute.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
But our lead this hour, our lead this hour, coming
from the world of baseball.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
They might be saying, why you're talking baseball. It's not
baseball season. What's wrong with you?
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Have you lost your way? Are you out of your
bloody mind? Why would you talk baseball? What is going
on with you. Well, A, I like baseball, and this
is a great time to talk baseball because it's all
the rumors, it's all the gossip. The World Series ended
a few days ago. But now we've got the hot
stove League headline.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
And from the General Manager meetings in Arizona. Oh what
a day it was.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
This is bringing back memories of the Bronx Zoo, the Yankees,
of the talk of the town.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Did the Yankees make a trade for a big name? Now?
Did the Yankees sign a big name free agent?
Speaker 4 (03:15):
Now?
Speaker 1 (03:16):
No, no, no, no no.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
What the Yankees did is have palace intrigue to the
tenth degree.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Now let me explain.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
So if he didn't see this, and you probably probably didn't,
is everything okay, Well, it's all relative.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Everything's relative.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
The Yankees owner hal Steinbredder, early in the day at
the GM meetings, admitted that the twenty twenty three vintage
of Yankee baseball, they had a bad year. He chatted
with reporters scribes at the General Manager meetings. In fact,
he went on to say, hal Steinbrener, spawn of George,
(03:52):
it was awful.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
We accomplished nothing. He barked at the media, the.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Fans did not get anywhere close to so what they deserve. Okay,
seems like a hot take. We like to take good job,
no sugar coating. But five hours later, the general manager
of the New York Yankees and his army of nerds,
Brian Cashman, he was asked about Yankee baseball and where
(04:21):
the Yankees are, and let's just say he has a
different spin on the current state of the New York Yankees.
Let's go to the audio tape.
Speaker 5 (04:33):
I think we have good baseball people, whether they're pro scouts,
whether they're coaches, whether they're the manager, whether they're the
general manager, whether they're analytics guys. I think we have
good people. I'm getting permission requests all over the place.
We just lost our bench coach to the Mets. As
a manager, I've got analytics trying to be poached to
other clubs right now. Our play development program no different
than other places. But again reinforcement that we got good people.
(04:55):
I'm proud of our people and I'm proud of our process.
Doesn't mean we're firing on all cylinders, doesn't mean we're
the vesting class. But I think we're pretty good personally,
and I'm proud of our people, and I'm also looking
forward to twenty four being a better year than twenty three.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
All right, So that last part there, three words, that's
all you need. Three words is the money quote pretty
effing good, Pretty effing good. So Cashman thinks he's doing
a pretty effing good job. Hal Steinbrenner said the team
had a bad year and was awful. You know what
(05:31):
that sets up as we discuss, toss up question, toss
up question for the electorate, Brian Cashman or Halse Steinbrenner.
Who is speaking the gospel on Yankee baseball? So I've
got hearing Aid trust Fund and Haunted mansion. As we
(05:51):
put all these things together, and we muddy the waters,
we muddy the water. So, first of all, in terms
of who is speaking the gospel, that would be a
rare w for hal Steinbrenner, the man who was in
charge of running the New York Yankees. This whole thing
is reminiscent of total dysfunction.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
And I'm here for all of it. I'm not a
Yankee fan.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
I just love the story. I'm all about the story.
It's cringeworth now. George Steinbrenner's spawn did not pull many punches.
He pointed out it was a bad year. As we said,
it was awful, accomplished nothing. That's the right side of history.
Then you've got Brian Cashman who sounds like a total
(06:36):
Mama Luke as he is working himself into a lather
as he's going through and talking about the nerds that
other teams want to hire. And of course he left
out when the Mets hired the bench coach. He left
out that the Mets didn't want to hire the bench coach.
That was a consolation prize because the guy they wanted
to hire.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
They didn't hire because they he wanted too much money.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
But speaking with such hubris, Brian Sshman for a guy
who put together, with a massive payroll, a team that
was melt toast. The New York Yankees eighty two eighty
barely finished out of the cellar. If it wasn't for
the Boston Red Sox, they would have been in last
place in the American League East. So it's clear and
(07:17):
obvious that Brian Cashman needs a hearing aid. Take him
down to Costco and get a hearing aid. Struggling to hear.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
The murmur in the room? What is the murmur in
the room.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
How Steinberger heard it now, I would like to go
back to a quote about a month ago. About a
month ago, Steinbrenner hal said last month that the Yankees
brass needed to check their egos at the door. Did
Brian Cashman sound like a guy that checked his ego
(07:49):
at the door? I'm asking for a friend. He was
walking around like the NBC peacock. He's going a victory
laugh at the GM meetings. Now he must have compromising
photos of the steinbrender Her family because the same clowns
are running the circus. Steinbrenner keeping Aaron Boone in the dugout,
the sock puppet, and then you've got Brian Cashman and.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
His nerds, the nerd ball for the mighty New York Kings.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
How mighty they have fallen, down down, down, down, down
down down.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Got some big names that'll blow your socks off.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Performance not up to the standard.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
All right.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Second headline from the North Side of Chicago Big Baseball
News this week, Craig Council has spoken about his decision
to leave Milwaukee to manage a division rival, the Cubs,
a blood rival, and it was asked about all that
he said the money quote Creig Council said that he
(08:50):
wanted a new professional challenge and he wanted to stay
close to home.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
So let's talk about this now.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Craig Council is saying that he joined the Cubs because
of a new professional challenge.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Are you buying what he is selling? So that would
be a no. That would be a no for me.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
This is what's known not a gangster's paradise, a sucker's paradise.
You gotta be a real rube to buy what Craig
Council is selling. A new professional challenge. Let's break that down.
So when did the Milwaukee Brewers win the World Series?
I must have been hibernating when they planted their flag
(09:31):
atop Baseball Mountain as the Kings of Baseball, because I
don't recall that happening. Maybe it did, I missed it.
Let me know, send me a message on X if
that happened. But as for being close to home, you
knew that Counsel was gonna bring up the fact that
you know, I love Chicago.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
You want to Upper Midwest.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Council is from Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin, which is in the
metropolitan geographic area of Milwaukee, so proximity it doesn't get
any better for proximity than coaching the Brewers.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
And this is what we thought it was.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
This is validation that Craig Council is a baseball savage.
He went for the money, which is fine, not saying
that's bad, but let's just call what is He went
for the money. As we anticipated, Counsel did not have
the marbles to answer the question. Honestly, he could have
gone to the highest bidder, and he did go to
(10:33):
the highest But now everyone assumed the position that the
Mets were going to corner the market and they were
gonna offer him the most money. And he met with
the Mets, he met with Cleveland team formerly known as
the Indians. He decided to not go to those teams
because the Chicago Cubs made him a godfather offer. He
felt everything out and he said, I'm going to Chicago,
(10:55):
and who cares about the Brewers and all that, because
I'm going to more than double my sound is gonna
get over seven million dollars a year, and that has
broken the record.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
He is the highest paid manager in average.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Annual salary in baseball history, making Craig Counsel and more
importantly the family of Craig council. They're all trust fund
babies at this point.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
They are just set up.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
Their council can go out and win seventy games for
the Cubs every year, and he's got the money now.
Final fly headline, Speaking of managers in Anaheim, is it
true the Angels are closing in on a manager and
will name a manager by the end of the week.
As we sit here on Wednesday, the end of the week,
(11:41):
a couple of days away, we have learned now that
the Anaheim baseball team has interviewed Ron Washington, Ron Washington
and Buck Showwalter.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
As they are zeroing in weasel term, zeroing in.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
On a candidate to be manager who has big league
managerial experience. Would Ron Washington or Buck Showalter be a
good fit for the Angels. So, reading the room and
knowing what I know about Artie Marino, the owner of
the Halos, Buck Showalter is in the lead, it's an
(12:23):
easier sell for Buck Showalter to be hired as.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
The Angel manager.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Either one of these guys would be a nepotism higher.
If they hire Ron Washington or Buck Showalter, it's hire
a friend. The general manager in Anaheim is in battled.
Perry mansion is under fire, right, He's looking to hire
somebody that he knows, and Manasian was in Texas for
(12:48):
a long time. He was a scout with the Rangers
when Buck Showalter was there and Washington both managed the
team in Arlington, and he was also with the Braves
the Angels GM when Washington was the third base. The
problem with one Ron Washington is it's kind of like
going to the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland, but it's real life.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
There's a lot of skeletons.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
Now.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
If people get second and third chances, Ron Washington would
be on his fifth chance.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
I think there's a lot of skeletons dancing around.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
He has lived a life, a full life of sex,
drugs and rock and roll, and normally play with Arti Marino.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
From what I know, he's pretty buttoned up, right.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
He's gotta stick up the old keyster and whatnot there
in Anaheim, So that'd be a tough sell. Buck Showalter
no checkered past. Buck just gets teams, usually the playoffs,
and then they end up gagging in the playoff, and
by comparison, Buck Showalter is barring. But it doesn't matter.
It's always a temp job. It's always a temp job
(13:46):
with the Angels. At some point Arti Marino is going
to sell the team. He wanted to sell it last year.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
It changed his mind.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
He will get rid of it at some point and
then whoever comes in will blow the whole thing up,
and that'll be that and blow it to smithereens, and
they'll bring a bunch of new people in.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
It is the Ben Mallard Show.

Speaker 3 (18:44):
Joe and Okinawa says off season ayahuasca with Aaron Rodgers,
chip and the cues cheated.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
He got it right.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
The correct answer to the Mallord Riddle of the day.
Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert said recently his off season
darkness retreat was an incredible experience. A darkness retreat the
answer to the Mallord Riddle of the day.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Let's go to the phones. Fortunately Poppy hung up again,
so we'll go to Angry Bill.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Hello, Angry Bill, Hey, what's just?
Speaker 10 (19:26):
And the the drug stuff? The best friends in prison
for killing the angel pitcher Ron Washington was a big cocaine.
I don't understand it. Why would they want to bring
back the cocaine after they've had the picture murdered by
your best friend?
Speaker 3 (19:43):
Well, the picture was actually murdered. He he killed himself.
But that's a different conversation for another time.
Speaker 10 (19:48):
Angry Bill, Oh no, it's my time now, I'm talking.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
Not Thanks for the phone call. I appreciate that at
some point he'll learn or also just stop calling. I'm
fine him stopping calling the show. They need him to
call the show, plenty of plenty of content. We don't
need his Yeah, and I need to clear the line
anyway because we're gonna have too much or not enough.
(20:12):
So if you want to play too much or not enough,
I will give out the number for this call up.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
We need somebody new.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Fresh, vibrant, exciting that actually will not suck at the game.
If you would like to be part of that, you
can hit us up too much or not enough eight
seven seven ninety nine on Fox, A coop will figure
out who we are going.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
To have now.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
I mentioned the Craig Council story and Counsel said he
wanted a new professional challenge.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
That's why he went to the Cubs from the Brewers.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
Well, it turns out the fine folks of Wisconsin, at
least a couple people in Wisconsin not real happy with
Craig Counsel. What's our evidence, what's our evidence that the
guy that had been the Brewers manager since twenty fifteen
and exitede stage left to go to Chicago is not
very popular. Well, it turns out that there's in a
(21:01):
little league person, we assume a little Brewers fan who
went to a little league baseball complex. I should say,
there's a complex in Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin that is named
in honor of Craig Council, and it was defaced with graffiti,
a act of vandalism. Somebody's so upset that Craig Council
(21:25):
is going to be in the Cub dugout. We're in
the Cub hat and the Cub uniform as opposed to
the Brewer colors. And so there was a graffiti artist
went out there and tagged up a sign. They tried
to cover it up with the tarp because it can't
have the the people seeing it. There there was a
three letter synonym for the word but, which I guess
(21:47):
for some reason is that for boating in Wisconsin, you're
not glow to.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Say the the word ass I guess not. But anyway,
there there was right there.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
Vandalism of a White Bay, Wisconsin little League signboard. Now
that that is gonna upset Craig Counts. That will annoy
Craig Counts, that will get them all upset.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
That's angry Cheese, not Angry Bill. We used to have
a guy named Angry Bill called the show. That's just
angry Cheese.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
And from the files of ridiculous things said by NFL coaches,
we present to you Arthur Smith. Now you don't know
Arthur Smith. He's the coach of the dirty Birds, the
Atlanta Falcons. Probably not for long the way things are going.
They don't have a quarterback there in Atlanta. They just
lost to a.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Guy that had changed teams five days earlier.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
Which is taboo in the orthodoxy orthodoxy of football, and
many people who play fantasy football very upset with the
running back in Atlanta not getting enough opportunities to do
his thing. Robinson, who looks amazing, He runs like the wind,
(23:04):
he's got a little bit of everything. You figure this
guy's gonna be a big star in the NFL, and
he hasn't gotten the ball hardly at all compared to
his talent level.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
And Arthur Smith was asked about this, he claims, the
Falcon coach, I don't know if you saw this one or not.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
He claimed that Bejon Robinson doesn't need the ball to
help the team. He does not need the ball to
what is he left guard for the Atlanta Falcons? Yeah,
shiver me, Timbers, what are you doing? Just admit you
fed up? You've screwed up. You don't have a way
(23:42):
to get him the football because your quarterbacks are terrible,
so you can't scheme him the football. Otherwise you would
give him the football, right, he would be at the
very top of the totem pole. If you look at
the food chain of players you want in the line
of domin to get the ball.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
He would be the guy. But he ain't the guy. Ah,
he's not the guy who's right there. That's not what's
going on.
Speaker 6 (24:08):

It's another Ben Maller game. We've endured too many of this?
Speaker 6 (24:48):
Is it too much or not enough enough?
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Already? See I made the mistake.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
I thought Kelly just wanted to talk hard OZ sports talk,
but no, she wants to play the game.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Hello, Kelly, how are you welcome in? How's everything in Nashville?
It's good?
Speaker 3 (25:06):
Yeah, property values are going up, right, everything's great. It's
a hip town, yeah they are.
Speaker 10 (25:10):
Yeah, Yeah, it's a rising mecca.
Speaker 6 (25:15):
I guess that's right.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
I've had some listeners that have left Nashville because they're
annoyed the outsiders are coming in.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (25:22):
Yes, that's when California's coming to get bigger houses for
cheaper Yeah, all right.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Be careful, be very careful with those Californians. I'm warning you,
all right.
Speaker 11 (25:32):
Anyway, I know I do this up on the West Coast.
Speaker 10 (25:34):
I lived in California for twelve years old.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
So there you go. So you know you anyway, Let's
play the game right now. Here we go. Too much
not enough? Kelly?
Speaker 3 (25:42):
If you go five for five, very rarely does that happen,
you'll be in the fifty to fifty club and you'll
get your own. The game will be named after you
next week. It'll be the Kelly in Nashville Game. But
all you have to do is get three out of
five right to win the game. Here we go, Question
number one. All the answers are either too much not enough.
During the Monday night football game, What a stinker that was?
(26:03):
Keenan Allen became the fourth Charger ever with ten thousand
career receiving yards.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Is that too much or not enough? Too much Kelly
in Nashville says too much. Let's find out if he's
off to go one to know so as correct.
Speaker 6 (26:20):
That is correct.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
He is only the second Charger player to ever do
to do it former basketball player Antonio Gates.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
But he did a lot of that with the old
San Diego Chargers. Question number two.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Jalen Hurts has won ten straight games against teams that
enter the matchup with a winning record.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
It's pretty good.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
Is that too much or not enough for the Eagles quarterback?
Not enough, Kelly says, not enough, trying to go to
and oh, let's find out right again?
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Fight again? Who cannot be stocked?
Speaker 3 (27:00):
He has won twelve straight games against teams that have
a winning record that are tied with Teyton Manning and
Vinnie Testa Verdi for the longest streak since way back
in nineteen fifty seventy plus years ago.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Question number three, see j Stroud. He's a rookie.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
He just became the fifth player in NFL history to
have four hundred and fifty passing yards, five passing touchdowns,
and no interceptions in a game.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
Is that too much or not enough?
Speaker 3 (27:33):
Too much?
Speaker 1 (27:35):
Does Kelly make it three for three? Let's find out
the streak and see.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
There's no such thing as momentum, So that doesn't mean
you can't get this next one right, Kelly, right, because
we don't believe in momentum.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
Question number four for our friend Kelly in the Music City,
maybe this will be a Music City miracle.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
Nikola Jokic now has one hundred and fifteen career triple
doubles with the Denver Nuggets.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
Is that too much or not enough? For the Denver
big man?
Speaker 3 (28:04):
Not enough, Kelly says, not enough, trying to win the
game right now, Let's find out.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
Is she right?
Speaker 6 (28:12):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Oh? Too much? He does have one hundred and eight
career triple doubles. That's a lot.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
It's fourth most in NBA history, but not quite one
hundred and fifteen. He'll probably have that by January first.
But question number five, it comes down to this. This
is Game seven of the world, so this is the
Super Bowl. Kelly, do you understand the immense pressure right now?
Speaker 1 (28:37):
You're on overnight sports talk radio.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
The most coveted time slot to be on the radio,
and you're playing a game show and it all comes
down to one question.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Look my moment, your moment in the moonlight. Here we go.
Taysom Hill. He plays for the Saints.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
He just became the third player in NFL history with
at least ten passing touchdowns, ten receiving touchdowns, ten rushing
touchdowns in their career.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Is that too much or not enough? This is four
the win?
Speaker 4 (29:12):
Too much?
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Are you sure about that?
Speaker 6 (29:15):
Yes, I'm going with too much.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
You're positive I can't talk you out of that.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
No, you're a woman of honor. You're a strong willed woman.
I respect that is Kelly in Nashville Wright.
Speaker 4 (29:31):
Super Bowl time.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
No, not enough was the answer. Kelly. I tried to
talk to you into it, but you wouldn't go for it.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
You're not the only woman I haven't been able to
comiss the do things. So congratulations, Kelly.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
You do not win. But we have a nice party
gift a.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
Lifetime supply of nothing in a round trip to nowhere.
So I hope you enjoy that. That's nowhere, Oklahoma. That
is void if they ever get an airport.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
In nowhere, Oklahoma. But until then you can go there
whenever want.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
And when you want nothing, Kelly, think of the Ben
Mallor Show, the show that gives you nothing.
Speaker 6 (30:05):
Okay, Now I listen every day, So.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
God bless you. All right, Thank you, Kelly, having a

Ben Yes, Iowa saying we are heading toward the finish
line on the corn and soybean harvest. And boy, I
don't remember it ever taking this long, man, Really, I
guess I wasn't paying as much attention back then.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
Next week is mid November.
Speaker 11 (31:38):
I know, but I listen. Lately, I've been locked in
like a tractor implement keeping tabs on these harvest records,
and eighty nine percent of the corn crop is in
the bin for twenty twenty three, while ninety.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
Seven official, as I said, and Iowa in the band.
In the band.
Speaker 11 (31:53):
Actually I just came up with that. It sounds good.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
A rhyme's right, that's pretty good. It's nice in the bin,
in the bin.
Speaker 11 (31:58):
Ninety seven percent of soybean they're in the bin and harvested.
Last week, though I attempted to bring you pork billy
and or swine cut prices and listen, it was a
huge disaster. Ben I didn't know that.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
Well, but not everything is a masterpiece, according to Sparti
over there.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Not everything should be a masterpiece. You should up.
Speaker 11 (32:15):
It was a not a master class, but master ass.
I didn't know how to read the tables and the
graphs and such. This week, though you learned.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
Now you have learned, give us the pork belly.
Speaker 6 (32:25):
No.
Speaker 11 (32:25):
But in fact, though I thought I'd redeem myself in
a different way, ben I flew back to Iowa. Nobody
knows this. I flew back to Iowa on a mission
of secrecy.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
Is that right where you were you carrying bags of
soybeans when you're walking around.
Speaker 11 (32:39):
Iowa, well, uh no, I was. Actually I attended a
