Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, and welcome. It's our nam birth three.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Here in our three, we're gonna put on our hazmat suit,
and we're going to talk about a story that is
very tawdry, very tawdry, and it involves an NHLT, the
Chicago Blackhawks who got rid of a veteran player named
Corey Perry. Now, normally that would not warrant any kind
of a mention on our show. But this is not normal.
(00:27):
So where do you put this Corey Perry rumor that
involves a teammate and gossip about a mother. Where do
you put this Corey Perry rumor on your bracket? Also,
what's your take on the we'll go to baseball? What's
your take on the Giants? That would be the San
(00:47):
Francisco Giants devoting their whole hearts to try to get
Shohei Otani away from the Angels in free agency? And
the Blue Jays are they considering trades of Vladimir Guerrero
and or Bobashett.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Make it make sense, We'll get to that as well.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Right now here, it is our and the Iowa minute
here in our number three, So we answer the age
old question, what would it take to have the radio
show that you listen to sometimes late at night, this
show Talk Hockey in late November.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
What would it take? Well, we now have our answer.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Welme come in the big getting of another hour of
the Ben Mallord Show. As we are in the air everywhere,
one on one, one on one, as we develop effective
solutions coast to coast, border to border and beyond. On

Speaker 2 (02:15):
The Way tire Buying should be headline this hour from Hockey,
We dust off the Zamboni. What a story, Holy Canoley.
This is by request. I want to point out that
this malle monologue is by request, but I probably would
have talked about this anyway at some point. I don't
know if it would have gotten top of the monologue billing.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
But this is not a drill. This is not a drill.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
This is an actual hockey monologue in late November of
the year twenty twenty three, the twenty ninth day of November,
to be exact.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
So if you didn't hear the story, and maybe you didn't,
maybe you didn't, there's.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
A wild, wild conspiracy theory that took a life of
its own, bouncing around the echo chamber, the boards, as
they say in hockey, and what what a tale?
Speaker 1 (03:02):
What a tail?
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Now this surrounds the decision by the Chicago hockey team
to waive the contract of Corey Perry, who played forever.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
With the Old Mighty Ducks with I guess.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
They were then they changed their name while he was there,
to the Ducks. But he played in Anaheim for a
long time in a decorated career.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
He's been on some good teams.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
As he's bounced around a little bit since he left
the Ducks, So I know a little bit about this
Guy's a guy I've heard of, and I can't say
that about a lot of people in the occup but
I've heard of him.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
So the Blackhawks announced last week that Corey Perry would
be away from the team for the foreseeable future. Okay, well,
then on Tuesday, that would be yesterday, they announced that
the team is terminating his contract.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Bye bye, see you later, Nana naa, hey, hey.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Good bye.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
But it's not just that there were rumors bouncing around
and then the Blackhawks announced they are letting Perry go
because he engaged in conduct that is unacceptable and in
violation of both the terms of the standard player contract
and the Blackhawks' internal policies. Wells quote so on Elon
(04:19):
musk X, the gossip puck was bouncing around and their
their accusations that Corey Perry had. There used to be
a hockey show at a local station. I worked at
the It was called the Big Pucking with a p
Hockey show or hockey whatever it was. And so Corey
(04:41):
Perry was, according to the story here that is bouncing
all over the place, was caught. I'll clean it up
for because family radio. There a lot of kids that
listened to the radio at this time of the morning. Yeah,
so Corey Perry was caught canoodling, playing footsie with a
teammate's mother. The allegation is the story that initially popped
(05:05):
up said that it was not just anyone's mother, it
was the second Coming Jesus on Skates, Connor Bedard the
next big thing in hockey, and supposedly the wild tale
said okay, well this is this happened on the mom's trip.
Well if this really did happen, well, now that's a
mom's trip. The Blackhawks GM someone named Kyle Davidson. We
(05:28):
don't know who that is, but he weakly attempted to shoot.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Down the rumors that the team has.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Of course, as we know, based on some scandals there
sterling reputation in Chicago. The very honest and very transparent
with everything that happens. So let us discuss the question
where do you put this Cory Perry Blackhawks rumor on
your bracket? So I've got wild and Wooly West, Tony
(05:57):
Bennett and the Mounties, and we'll talk about some other
things as well. But we'll mix all these things together
and we are going to make deep dish Chicago pizza,
which Corey Perry will have to visit Chicago to eat
because he ain't playing for the black Hawks anymore.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
It's black Hawk down, black Hawk down.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Now, First of all, I did not have this on
my Bengo card.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
I did not everyone.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
So I'll get an email from someone who's like an
old time listener and they'll ask a question. They'll be like,
how could you possibly still like doing sports talk radio?
Speaker 1 (06:34):
You do the same thing every day. You go into
the studio, You rant and rave like a lunatic about something.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
And my response has always been very consistent. I would
hate the job if we talked about the same thing.
Like there's some shows all they do is talk about
the Lakers, right or the Dallas Cowboys. I would want
to bang my head against the wall until it bleeds
if I had to do that.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
And we don't do that every day. There's new crap
to talk about.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Now.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Some days we have to be more creative.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
This is not one of those days. But I read
the details as they were bouncing around the echo chamber
on this story, and I needed to acid wash my phone.
I needed to get out some baby shampoo and flush
my eyes out a trip to the wayback machine. Though
the idea that there's nothing possibly to this, I reject that.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Now.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
I don't know what happened, and either to you, But
I've been doing this job long enough. I do recall
the Cleveland basketball team playing the Boston basketball team in
the playoff series, and it was a trip to the
wild and Wooly West.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
As in Delante West.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
The former Calvs guard who I think is homeless now,
who became Internet famous, now really infamous, not Internet famous,
internet infamous for a titillating tale with the matriarch of
the Lebron Empire.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Now we don't know whether that happened.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
We as I said, I don't know what happened with
Corey Perry, and maybe nothing happened. Maybe Connor Bedard's mom
is innocent. She's just getting straysier and she did nothing
other than be a great mom.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
And by the way, I don't think they're that far
apart in age, you know, So it's conceivable.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
I don't know what's going on there, But it's possible
that it's all just mean people making stuff up on
the Internet.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
It's also possible that it's got legs.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
I do know that in any business, if you fish
off the company pier, it is frowned upon. And either way, right,
keeping it under wraps just creates more rumors. And as
we learn with Delonte West, that story is very old.
Lebron's played for her. He left the Calves, he went
to Miami, he went back to the Calves, he left
(08:54):
Cleveland again and went to the Lakers, and he's been
with the Lakers a couple of years and that story
still exists. It's called digital permanence, is what it's called,
and it means once something is uploaded, once it's posted
or published or whatever term you want to use, once
it's put on the interweb, the world Wide Web, it
(09:14):
will be there forever and ever and ever and ever
and ever.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
You can hire companies to make it go down.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Google searches right, and there are businesses that do that,
and they'll say, well, when so many types Delante West name,
for example, into Google, you won't hear about what happened
or what's alleged to have happened. But what goes on
the Internet stays on the Internet and social media they
haven't been able to clean that up.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Once it's on the web, it's always on the web.
And so it's a.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Version of the man that shot Liberty ballence. If enough,
you know, people believe that Corey Perry did something involving
hanky panky with Connor Bodard's mom, then when the legend becomes.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
The fact, p we'll just keep going to the legend.
Even if the legend is not true.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Now, Secondly, we pivot away from the Blackhawks and we
go to Baseball Headline from San Francisco, the Hot Stove
League cranking up. We learned the Giants are ready to
make a splitsh splash and free agency.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
I love the reporting here.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
The Giants are quote set to try to acquire either
two way phenom Shoe Otani, who's a free agent late
of the Angels, or the star pitcher of the winter
in free agency, and that would be Yoshinobu yama Moto
(10:40):
from Japan. Now state sponsored MLB network tells us that
the Giants are pursuing both very aggressively. I love the
quote here that the Giants are devoting their full heart
and finances to land Otani or Yoshinobu yama Moto.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
They want one of these two guys.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
So what is your take on the Giants devoting their
whole hearts to try to get Otani and the pitcher Yamamoto.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
So it is very dramatic. It's like Tony Bennett krooned
in his day.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
I left my heart in San Francisco, and the Giants
are trying to ride one of those cable cars and
climb halfway to the stars. And I don't like the Giants.
I'm a Dodger fan, but I can be neutral here.
The Giants the last couple of seasons have been serving
up slow turned vanilla ice cream with no sugar.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Bland.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Right, They're a starless roster, devoid of spice. Now, you
don't have to have a star to win in baseball,
but you do have to have a star to be interesting,
and they don't have that, right, They're devoid of that spice.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
They need a headliner.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
They need some pepper, and it doesn't guarantee you're gonna win,
but it does make you at least interesting.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Little rasmutas right, final thought. Quickly we head to all cod.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Now we are told that the Blue Jays have been
getting tons of text messages, a lot of phone calls.
People are like, hey, we really like to get Vladdie
Vladimir Guerrero Junior, and if we can't get him, we
want bobershek now.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
The reporting is like, the Jays are.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Considering, they don't want to, but they're considering possibly trading
Vladimir Guerrero Junior or Bobashed, so make it make sense.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
So there is no defending the indefensible.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
And I'm not a Blue Jay guide, but I can say,
as a baseball observer, a connoisseur of baseball, if the
Blue Jays were to trade Vladimir Guerrero or Bolbashet, they
should call in the Mounties. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police
should investigate those hosers with the Blue Jays if they
do it. And I know the argument is you got
(12:58):
you can't keep everybody right, you can't do whatever you do,
you gotta get rid of guys. But I look at
the Blue Jays and it's a big turning point year
in twenty twenty four. So I know they're trying supposedly
to get Otani, but what's it seems like a zero
some game. You get Otani and you get rid of
Ladimir Guerrero. If in one breath you want Otani and
then you're gonna trade one of your core players, It's
(13:21):
like was this the Gong Show?
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Like what's the.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Point and where's the point of cultivating minor league players?
Now I have I'm trade all the prospects.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Guy, I'm that guy. But you actually win the lottery
a couple of times, you get.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Two All star level ball players in Guerrero and Bashett
who happen to be the spawn of other All star ballplayers.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
But fine, you you won.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Congratulations and then you you're like, I can't afford them
because they're too They're both gonna get two big contracts.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
And I like, what's the point of that.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
It's like, we're only allowed to have one good minor
league player.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Get to the big leagues at a time, otherwise.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
We have to wheel and deal and all ye. Anyway,
it is the Ben Mallor Show. If you'd like to

(14:50):
the Mallor riddle of.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
The day, and.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
I've got a couple of options here. I'm trying to
think this is a last second show here. I have
to bring a couple options because I don't know if
Eddie's going to steal my malle real. He did not
do it today. But I still have two good options,
all right, So why don't we do this one? I
will do this one. Deebo Samuel of the forty nine

is called That's right, that's a seinfilm, Yes, bra for ladies.
Speaker 6 (19:52):
Yeah, the bro.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
According to this, the bro chuck the ram fan, says,
Deebo Samuel rip Mike mcdani angel for wearing big baller shoes.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
That is what he said. All right, Eddy, you have
an answer, Eddie.
Speaker 6 (20:06):
Well, I believe it was shoes, but it wasn't it
like a rare expensive pair of sneakers?
Speaker 2 (20:13):
You asked that with a question mark, Eddie, is that
your final? Deebo Samuel appeared on a podcast this week
and goofed on Mike McDaniel for wearing sneakers that were
too big for his feet. Yes, apparently wearing sneakers with
(20:36):
an inch to an inch and a half of extra space.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
And I don't know why would you do that?
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Well, he didn't you get blisters?
Speaker 1 (20:45):
I don't know, Eddie. I'm looking at the photo.
Speaker 6 (20:47):
I'm looking at.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
That looks like I believe you're incorrect. I'm an guy, Eddie,
and I know shoes better than you. And that does
look like the shoes too big.
Speaker 6 (20:57):
No, it isn't. It's clearly wrong. I'm not I'm looking
right photos from behind his feet and it's clearly not
too big.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
I'm looking the photo.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
That's a big. That's a big.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
You get blisters when you wear shoes that are too.
Speaker 6 (21:13):
They had to fit snugly.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
And I don't know if you ever had heel blisters,
but those are nasty, man, those heel blisters.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
They're terrible, terrible, terrible, terrible.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
I've had a few blisters back in the day, but
i haven't had a blister in a while. I've been
blister free, Benny for some time. Interesting, Eddie has not
followed up on this hockey story.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Corey par you don't have to wait till the end
of the weekend. He can talk.
Speaker 6 (21:38):
That was good, okay, Well, first of all, I did
watch the press conference from Kyle Davidson of the Blackhawks, UH,
and he was extremely vague about most of it. But
the one thing he did say was that it was
a workplace situation.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
And then you're sleeping with his mom. Wouldn't that be
a workplace?
Speaker 6 (21:59):
Didn't all of any player or their families? That was
the quote from the GM.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Okay and you believe him. So why wouldn't you think
they wouldn't you think the Blackhawks would try to cover
this up.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
They already embarrassed.
Speaker 6 (22:13):
They just are coming off covering up a sense of
I realize that. So I'm pretty sure. No, they wouldn't
wanted to go down that road. Again, you are so gullible, Yes,
I'm so.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
And you they lie to your face and you believe them.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
And oh, by the way, Blackhawks lied for years, and
you think now they're being honest.
Speaker 6 (22:32):
What they just did when the generals were fired in
their Hall of Famers and they still haven't gotten jobs
in the NHL.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
People we have had, people in sports, had worked at
Fox Sports, who have told me in the radio studio, oh, yeah,
we lied all the time to the media, and you
believe everything you believe in this situation.
Speaker 6 (22:53):
In this situation, under this circumstance, I find it very
hard to believe that the Blackhawks are going to.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
That Blackhawks have benefit of the doubt because they.
Speaker 6 (23:02):
Just went through a huge and they're still being sued by.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
But Eddie, if this happened, right, it's that's say it
was a consenting situation, right.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (23:17):
ESPN is reporting that Corey Perry had an incident with
a team employee, that this that this is why he
was released.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Maybe that's the case, but maybe it's also maybe that's
something else that happened after he was stooping a teammates
a mom and then he got into it with a
PR person about that, like maybe, hey, maybe you shouldn't.
Speaker 6 (23:36):
Be sorry that this isn't what a lot of sick
people want it to be. But it isn't all right.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Just for those that are knew the show, Eddie is gullible,
believes everything professional ben believes any every every every scandal
that's happened over the years that has been verified and
initially reported as bogus.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Eddie believes the initial story. Right, you probably believe that
across story was legitimate, right?
Speaker 6 (24:01):
No?
Speaker 1 (24:02):
No, why not? You didn't believe that one? Why didn't
you believe that one? Why not, Eddie?
Speaker 6 (24:07):
Because there wasn't proven.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
It was just okay, this is an allegation, it's not and.
Speaker 6 (24:12):
It reported that he had with a team employee, and
again was that after he did what he possibly did?
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Why is that hard to believe?
Speaker 4 (24:21):
Is it not?
Speaker 2 (24:21):
Like I've been on the road, I've been on the road.
I've been on the road before and my younger days
with professional team. You're you know, you go to the
hotel bar, stuff happens, there's other employees there from the team,
and and sometimes there's interactions You're like, what are you doing?
You shouldn't be talking to that person whatever. Uh, and
so why is that not a possibility?
Speaker 1 (24:41):
I mean, I'm not gonna.
Speaker 6 (24:44):
Word anything is a possibility.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Okay, listen, you believe everything these people say.
Speaker 6 (24:49):
I know that you believe anything out there because that's
what you want to believe, because you think.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
It.
Speaker 6 (24:58):
All right, So I have no idea about why don't
do it?
Speaker 1 (25:01):
They denied it. Why do you believe? Why do you
think there's a chance that happened.
Speaker 6 (25:05):
I don't know that they denied it, as there were.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
People denied it at the time the story came out.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
They said it wasn't true. They denied it. So anyway,
it is the Ben Mathers show. I can't control my
honey level.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Yeah, all right, there are the people that well, I
won't get into it you but anyway, all right, we
will press off me at the Iowa Minute coming up
in a couple of minutes. We will also we will
also give you a radio game show effect. If one
of those two guys, one of those two guys wants
to play coop, I see them on hold. If they
(25:40):
want to play, fine, if not, eight seven seven ninety
nine on Fox, We're gonna have too much or not enough.
But right now, let's get you caught up on a
man that believes everything professional sports tells him.
Speaker 6 (25:51):
Eddie Garcia, that's not true, and I do believe.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
What have you not believed?
Speaker 6 (25:55):
Eddie?
Speaker 1 (25:55):
What story have you not believe?
Speaker 3 (25:57):
Anyone?
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Right now? The time to lie all the time in.
Speaker 6 (26:03):
This specific situation, the one time they would not lie
because of what you went through to protect a franchise.
Franchise just went through the absolute sewer. For them to
come back and do another cover up like months later
would be safe.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Because this is their savior. But this is much different
than that scandal.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
It if this is two consenting adults that are around
the same age. If it was to adults, spending wouldn't
say that star players.
Speaker 6 (26:35):
If it's.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Players, mom, man, that's a terrible thing. Franchise.
Speaker 4 (26:41):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven PM Pacific in
college football.
Speaker 6 (26:48):
Back to college football. He is returning to the scene
of the crime. Uh, this was a salacious incident, that
was it was that one. Either that's not true. Arkansas
is hiring Boston happened, it didn't happen. Arkansas hiring Bobby
Patrino to be their new offensive coordinator. Of course, he
was their head coach from twenty eight to twenty eleven
(27:08):
when he had that incident with the Was it.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
A student, It was a student.
Speaker 6 (27:13):
She worked in the department.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Yeah, you buried the lead Eddy on this, you buried
the lead.
Speaker 6 (27:20):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
By hiring Bobby Patrino, Arkansas is violating the Bobby Patrino
rule that they put in. Really they put a they
put a rule in you can't hire somebody that lies
that gets I think it was what's the terminology. I
think that the terminology was somebody that gets fired for
being I think it was being dishonest because he had
(27:41):
lied about the motorcycle accident when he looked like he
showed up.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
With the neck place remember that.
Speaker 6 (27:46):
Of course, forget God.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Was that a great.
Speaker 6 (27:50):
Rumors floating around about why he was all beat up looking.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
But I won't go So the Bobby Batrino rule was
that he anybody that had been dismissed for call shall
not be eligible for re employment at Arkansas. Just win maybe,
but they want to score points, and the President waived
the Bobby Patrina rule to hire Bobby.
Speaker 6 (28:15):
All right, that's pretty amazing, it's pretty.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
That is outstanding. Oh my god. All right, by the way,
bad news. Are you any ferg Dog? Right? Since says
I'm with you, Ben Eddie is being illogical and abused.
Speaker 6 (28:30):
Dog says it. It must be true. Yeah, that guy's

Too much or not enough enough already?
Speaker 2 (29:02):
All right, let's play here we go too much and

sorting that our dad gummant, Hello, Dad gummt.
Speaker 4 (29:16):
Man.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
I will tell you something about Bobby Petrino. Man, he
had to take him a little woman out on the day,
take him for around his motorcycle. And that's what happened. Man,
Who cares about razorback?
Speaker 2 (29:28):
I know you hate you're in Arkansas? But you don't care?
Speaker 6 (29:31):
Are you?
Speaker 3 (29:31):
Like the other team got to barbecue a home? You
look at him? Man, they're the poor state in the world.
About the Tacond place? Who cares about the freaking Okay?
Speaker 1 (29:39):
All right, red Wolves State, Ben Mallard and the Hogs?
Speaker 3 (29:45):
You ready to list yourself? Tell that's okay?
Speaker 6 (29:49):
All right?
Speaker 1 (29:50):
Can we play the game? I want to play. Let's
get to the game. Here we go.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
I'm gonna I'm gonna call I'm gonna call your players
out right now to your people.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
I know we don't have you're taking away from the
Iowa minute. You're taking away from the Iowa minute.
Speaker 3 (30:03):
I want him on that. I want him on his
show right now, and I want him going on.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
Oh my god, you know you don't want to play
the game.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
You don't want to play the game, right I dropped him.
Speaker 6 (30:13):
I dropped him?
Speaker 1 (30:14):
Okay, Who's who's gonna play? Who do we get? Nobody?
All right? Jed? Who fled?
Speaker 6 (30:20):
Hello?
Speaker 1 (30:20):
Jed?
Speaker 3 (30:24):
Whatever?
Speaker 1 (30:24):
All right? He's not seem excited about this either, all right.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Derrick Henry became the sixth player in NFL history with
nine thousand or more rushing yards and at least eighty
rushing touchdowns his first eight seasons.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
Is that too much or not enough?
Speaker 3 (30:40):
Just like the girl from Alabama, Telo's our cousin, her
male cousin.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
Okay, that's unnecessary. Ah, that is correct, though not enough,
is what he said.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
He's the eighth player to accomplish this, So there you go.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
Question number two.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
Micah Parsons, he plays for the Dallas football team, recently
became the fifth player in NFL history with eleven or
more sacks and each in each of their first three seasons.
Is that too much or not enough?
Speaker 3 (31:04):
I'm at the end of a bender. My deification is
number two has been too much lately? So too much?
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Okay? Too much? Is he right? That's correct again? And
he's only a third problem to do it?
Speaker 3 (31:14):
Dad, We're left handed, but we're always right, baby.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Dwight Freeney and Reggie White. Question number three, jedwu Fledes
on a burner right now. He's been on those before.
There are currently eight quarterbacks with a passer rating over
one hundred?
Speaker 1 (31:30):
Is that too much or not enough?
Speaker 3 (31:33):
That the really old passer rating sounds like a Jerry
Atchick too much?
Speaker 1 (31:38):
That's right again, You've already won the game, all right,
good job? There are only six? Only seven? Question four,
We'll keep going.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
Tyreek kill is only is one of only four players
with thirteen hundred receiving yards and ten or more receiving
touchdowns in a season before the month of December?
Speaker 1 (31:57):
Is that too much or not enough?
Speaker 3 (32:00):
Name that not of white people have not enough?
Speaker 1 (32:03):
All right, not enough, and you're wrong, that's wrong.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
But you won the game anyway, Jet, so you get
a golden ticket, which means you'll probably call right.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
Back, call right time.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
But we have the Iowa Minute, the greatest thirty six

Hey heaven, oh Iowa.
Speaker 4 (33:04):
Like you give a damn now, presenting the most up
to date happenings from Iowa's four Division one teams, ladies
and gentlemen, cows and pigs. It's the Iowa Minute. Here's
Iowa Sam.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Already. Ben.
Speaker 7 (33:20):
I was uh back in Iowa for Thanksgiving. It was
a very nice trip and I was lucky enough, Ben
to go to my first Iowa home game at Kinnick
since twenty fifteen.
Speaker 6 (33:31):
How about that?
Speaker 1 (33:32):
Oh that's exciting there very well. I look at the
view of the Iowa farm land.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
There has nothing to watch on the field, right, Oh well.
Speaker 7 (33:40):
Not so not so it was Iowa versus Illinois. It
was sunny, it was fifty five degrees in November. I
was drunk and Iowa one in the final minutes, the.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
Hawks, you have another set of ash. Here's a pig hole.
Speaker 4 (33:53):
Hey, we got it.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
He's gonna go to the ends.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
O touch that, Iowa touch that Iowa no flags, Rusty bullet,
wide open over right guard.
Speaker 7 (34:03):
What a name, Rusty feth and Iowa clinch is the
mighty mighty big ten West fifteen to thirteen.
Speaker 6 (34:10):
But wait, there's more.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
It's a high scoring game.
Speaker 7 (34:12):
Very well, you know that's pretty Uh, you haven't seen
their muscles there.
Speaker 6 (34:17):
You haven't seen nothing yet. Iowa still on a quest
for a ten win season. It's not over.
Speaker 7 (34:21):
Iowa's Nebraska on Black Friday and Lincoln, Nebraska entered this game.
They were on a bit of a skid. They just
needed one more win to become Bowl eligible. And we're
in the final minute of the game, final minute and change. Wacky,
too whacky to describe how that final minute set up,
but basically Iowa was in position to kick the game
winning field goal with seconds left. But really tough day
(34:43):
at the office for Iowa. Kicker Drew Stevens. So a
little coaching decision here.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
They can't score touchdowns if they can't kick field right now,
you got problems.
Speaker 7 (34:51):
Yeah, if you only have the defense working but not
special teams, you're up the creek without a paddle. So
enter backup kicker, Marshall meter, oh Corey Taylor to hold
and Marshall meter trying to get out of town with
a Hawkeye victory.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
Here's the snap. The kick is on the way and
it is good. Good Marshall leader. The ball bounced back to.
Speaker 7 (35:18):
Tory Taylor meter meter chicken feeder. That was Gary Dolphin
on the call there from Learfield. Iowa wins thirteen to ten. Listen, Ben,
the point total for this game twenty four and a half.
I think I would hit the under in six or
seven straight games to conclude this season under under well.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
And last year they averaged two hundred and fifty eight
and a half yards per game, right, so they talked
about I remember the Hawkeys like we got to get
better on all Yeah, this year they're ranked one hundred
and thirty third and they're averaging eleven yards.
Speaker 1 (35:48):
Less than they did last year.
Speaker 7 (35:51):
I don't know man winning ten games with that anemic offense,
and you put it perfectly anemic offense.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
Oh my god, it I don't know.
Speaker 7 (35:59):
I mean listen and Kirk Farence. He came in Secon
a distant second place to David Brona Northwestern for Coach
the Year, despite his son getting fired midway through the season.
But Iowa wins that game thirteen to ten, and they
finished ten and two, and now they're off to the
Big Ten Title game to face the guets.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
I don't want to touch up your work here, Iowa, Sam,
but did you see the gambling market for the Big
Ten championship game? The points total in the first half
for Iowa against Michigan is one.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
I'm not kidding.
Speaker 2 (36:35):
So Iowa kicks a field goal, you win the bet
if you bet the over. Well, and I think I
believe it's one in the second half. Also, so if
they score one field goal, you're guaranteed to win one.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
Of those bets.
Speaker 6 (36:45):
Listen the game. This was the same.
Speaker 7 (36:47):
It was Iowa Michigan in the Big Ten title game
two years ago, twenty twenty one.
Speaker 6 (36:50):
It was forty two to three. Got a field goal,
they did, so you can win that bet. Listen. We
got more here listen.
Speaker 7 (36:58):
Iowa State, they wanted to packed the jack against Texas
two games ago. They ended up losing the game twenty
six to sixteen. Oh man, Yeah, listen, what a Debbie downer.
Final game of the season. It was a wild game.
They call this game Pharmageddon. This is Kansas State versus
Iowa State. It was in Manhattan.
Speaker 6 (37:18):
It was snowing. You're upset, you're defended by Farmageddon.
Speaker 1 (37:22):
Yes, I'm bothered by that bother.
Speaker 7 (37:23):
Well, this game, uh, this will brighten your day. Was
loaded to the brim with big plays and the man
who was leading that charge was Abu Sama the third
This was the Abu Sama show. Get ready for an
extremely extremely long highlight reel.
Speaker 6 (37:38):
Here we go and.
Speaker 8 (37:39):
Bect we'll head it off to a boot Sama upti
middlely goes.
Speaker 1 (37:42):
Huge hole in here he goes off to the races.
Speaker 8 (37:46):
This is going to be a touchdown to start the game.
Speaker 6 (37:50):
Seventy one yards.
Speaker 8 (37:53):
Off the right side to the outside and here goes
again till on the right sideline that he's a threat
to take it to this since again and he will
Baboo Samma seventy seven more yards and another cyclone touchdowns
where this is almost swear from the forty and here's
a head off sam a big hole again up the middle.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
Here goes up oo Samma again.
Speaker 6 (38:17):
Then he gets popped forward. He's gonna take it all
the way for another cyclone.
Speaker 1 (38:22):
Touchdown sixty yards?
Speaker 6 (38:25):
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 7 (38:27):
Abu Sama sixteen carries two hundred and seventy six yards
and three touchdowns in the snow, Ben, how about that
he would.
Speaker 2 (38:34):
Lead Iowa and scoring on that game alone?
Speaker 7 (38:36):
Awys, he would all the yards for Iowa would be
right there. That guy was just tearing it up. I
was State finished to seven and five. He really bounced
back from last season the gambling scandal. Six and two
in the Big twelve. Good for them, all right, I
gotta kind of mi scoot this ahead here. Drake and
Northern Iowa both got pummeled by North Dakota States, sadly,
but Drake did finish perfect in the Pioneer League and
(38:59):
doesn't look like Northern i I will make it to
the postseason.
Speaker 1 (39:01):
What about the farming? I need the farm?
Speaker 7 (39:03):
No, I know, well, the harvests are pretty much in
the bin there, Ben, Let's skip to the trivia really quick,
all right, Let's wrap it up with this ben in
nineteen forty three, what seemingly exotic crop, especially exotic for
the time where Iowa farmers asked to grow to help
the war efforts.
Speaker 6 (39:19):
Sixty thousand acres of this crop to be specific.
Speaker 1 (39:21):
Right, pineapples.
Speaker 6 (39:23):
Wrong, it was actually that would be kind of cool,
but it was hemp.
Speaker 1 (39:27):
Hemp, hemp.
Speaker 4 (39:27):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (39:28):
Coop gets excited.
Speaker 8 (39:29):
And narcotic medically and legally.
Speaker 6 (39:31):
It never did nobody any good.
Speaker 7 (39:32):
I told Hi, we're running a time here. I told
Coop to stick around just for that, and uh oh,
we don't have time for this final question. But you
know what, I'm gonna be getting more Iowa trivia into
the Iowa Minute.
Speaker 6 (39:40):
We had a lot of highlights. They had to catch
up a little bit.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
I remember, we want the highlights with all do the
trivia right? People hear that on the weekend. They want
to hear the trivia trivia We got pot. They want
to hear about farming rapport.
Speaker 1 (39:51):
That's what they want.
Speaker 6 (39:52):
Yes, yes, next time,
Hello, and welcome. It's our nam birth three.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Here in our three, we're gonna put on our hazmat suit,
and we're going to talk about a story that is
very tawdry, very tawdry, and it involves an NHLT, the
Chicago Blackhawks who got rid of a veteran player named
Corey Perry. Now, normally that would not warrant any kind
of a mention on our show. But this is not normal.
(00:27):
So where do you put this Corey Perry rumor that
involves a teammate and gossip about a mother. Where do
you put this Corey Perry rumor on your bracket? Also,
what's your take on the we'll go to baseball? What's
your take on the Giants? That would be the San
(00:47):
Francisco Giants devoting their whole hearts to try to get
Shohei Otani away from the Angels in free agency? And
the Blue Jays are they considering trades of Vladimir Guerrero
and or Bobashett.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Make it make sense, We'll get to that as well.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Right now here, it is our and the Iowa minute
here in our number three, So we answer the age
old question, what would it take to have the radio
show that you listen to sometimes late at night, this
show Talk Hockey in late November.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
What would it take? Well, we now have our answer.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Welme come in the big getting of another hour of
the Ben Mallord Show. As we are in the air everywhere,
one on one, one on one, as we develop effective
solutions coast to coast, border to border and beyond. On

Speaker 2 (02:15):
The Way tire Buying should be headline this hour from Hockey,
We dust off the Zamboni. What a story, Holy Canoley.
This is by request. I want to point out that
this malle monologue is by request, but I probably would
have talked about this anyway at some point. I don't
know if it would have gotten top of the monologue billing.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
But this is not a drill. This is not a drill.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
This is an actual hockey monologue in late November of
the year twenty twenty three, the twenty ninth day of November,
to be exact.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
So if you didn't hear the story, and maybe you didn't,
maybe you didn't, there's.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
A wild, wild conspiracy theory that took a life of
its own, bouncing around the echo chamber, the boards, as
they say in hockey, and what what a tale?
Speaker 1 (03:02):
What a tail?
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Now this surrounds the decision by the Chicago hockey team
to waive the contract of Corey Perry, who played forever.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
With the Old Mighty Ducks with I guess.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
They were then they changed their name while he was there,
to the Ducks. But he played in Anaheim for a
long time in a decorated career.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
He's been on some good teams.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
As he's bounced around a little bit since he left
the Ducks, So I know a little bit about this
Guy's a guy I've heard of, and I can't say
that about a lot of people in the occup but
I've heard of him.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
So the Blackhawks announced last week that Corey Perry would
be away from the team for the foreseeable future. Okay, well,
then on Tuesday, that would be yesterday, they announced that
the team is terminating his contract.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Bye bye, see you later, Nana naa, hey, hey.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Good bye.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
But it's not just that there were rumors bouncing around
and then the Blackhawks announced they are letting Perry go
because he engaged in conduct that is unacceptable and in
violation of both the terms of the standard player contract
and the Blackhawks' internal policies. Wells quote so on Elon
(04:19):
musk X, the gossip puck was bouncing around and their
their accusations that Corey Perry had. There used to be
a hockey show at a local station. I worked at
the It was called the Big Pucking with a p
Hockey show or hockey whatever it was. And so Corey
(04:41):
Perry was, according to the story here that is bouncing
all over the place, was caught. I'll clean it up
for because family radio. There a lot of kids that
listened to the radio at this time of the morning. Yeah,
so Corey Perry was caught canoodling, playing footsie with a
teammate's mother. The allegation is the story that initially popped
(05:05):
up said that it was not just anyone's mother, it
was the second Coming Jesus on Skates, Connor Bedard the
next big thing in hockey, and supposedly the wild tale
said okay, well this is this happened on the mom's trip.
Well if this really did happen, well, now that's a
mom's trip. The Blackhawks GM someone named Kyle Davidson. We
(05:28):
don't know who that is, but he weakly attempted to shoot.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Down the rumors that the team has.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Of course, as we know, based on some scandals there
sterling reputation in Chicago. The very honest and very transparent
with everything that happens. So let us discuss the question
where do you put this Cory Perry Blackhawks rumor on
your bracket? So I've got wild and Wooly West, Tony
(05:57):
Bennett and the Mounties, and we'll talk about some other
things as well. But we'll mix all these things together
and we are going to make deep dish Chicago pizza,
which Corey Perry will have to visit Chicago to eat
because he ain't playing for the black Hawks anymore.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
It's black Hawk down, black Hawk down.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Now, First of all, I did not have this on
my Bengo card.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
I did not everyone.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
So I'll get an email from someone who's like an
old time listener and they'll ask a question. They'll be like,
how could you possibly still like doing sports talk radio?
Speaker 1 (06:34):
You do the same thing every day. You go into
the studio, You rant and rave like a lunatic about something.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
And my response has always been very consistent. I would
hate the job if we talked about the same thing.
Like there's some shows all they do is talk about
the Lakers, right or the Dallas Cowboys. I would want
to bang my head against the wall until it bleeds
if I had to do that.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
And we don't do that every day. There's new crap
to talk about.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Now.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Some days we have to be more creative.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
This is not one of those days. But I read
the details as they were bouncing around the echo chamber
on this story, and I needed to acid wash my phone.
I needed to get out some baby shampoo and flush
my eyes out a trip to the wayback machine. Though
the idea that there's nothing possibly to this, I reject that.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Now.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
I don't know what happened, and either to you, But
I've been doing this job long enough. I do recall
the Cleveland basketball team playing the Boston basketball team in
the playoff series, and it was a trip to the
wild and Wooly West.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
As in Delante West.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
The former Calvs guard who I think is homeless now,
who became Internet famous, now really infamous, not Internet famous,
internet infamous for a titillating tale with the matriarch of
the Lebron Empire.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Now we don't know whether that happened.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
We as I said, I don't know what happened with
Corey Perry, and maybe nothing happened. Maybe Connor Bedard's mom
is innocent. She's just getting straysier and she did nothing
other than be a great mom.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
And by the way, I don't think they're that far
apart in age, you know, So it's conceivable.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
I don't know what's going on there, But it's possible
that it's all just mean people making stuff up on
the Internet.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
It's also possible that it's got legs.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
I do know that in any business, if you fish
off the company pier, it is frowned upon. And either way, right,
keeping it under wraps just creates more rumors. And as
we learn with Delonte West, that story is very old.
Lebron's played for her. He left the Calves, he went
to Miami, he went back to the Calves, he left
(08:54):
Cleveland again and went to the Lakers, and he's been
with the Lakers a couple of years and that story
still exists. It's called digital permanence, is what it's called,
and it means once something is uploaded, once it's posted
or published or whatever term you want to use, once
it's put on the interweb, the world Wide Web, it
(09:14):
will be there forever and ever and ever and ever
and ever.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
You can hire companies to make it go down.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Google searches right, and there are businesses that do that,
and they'll say, well, when so many types Delante West name,
for example, into Google, you won't hear about what happened
or what's alleged to have happened. But what goes on
the Internet stays on the Internet and social media they
haven't been able to clean that up.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Once it's on the web, it's always on the web.
And so it's a.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Version of the man that shot Liberty ballence. If enough,
you know, people believe that Corey Perry did something involving
hanky panky with Connor Bodard's mom, then when the legend becomes.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
The fact, p we'll just keep going to the legend.
Even if the legend is not true.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Now, Secondly, we pivot away from the Blackhawks and we
go to Baseball Headline from San Francisco, the Hot Stove
League cranking up. We learned the Giants are ready to
make a splitsh splash and free agency.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
I love the reporting here.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
The Giants are quote set to try to acquire either
two way phenom Shoe Otani, who's a free agent late
of the Angels, or the star pitcher of the winter
in free agency, and that would be Yoshinobu yama Moto
(10:40):
from Japan. Now state sponsored MLB network tells us that
the Giants are pursuing both very aggressively. I love the
quote here that the Giants are devoting their full heart
and finances to land Otani or Yoshinobu yama Moto.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
They want one of these two guys.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
So what is your take on the Giants devoting their
whole hearts to try to get Otani and the pitcher Yamamoto.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
So it is very dramatic. It's like Tony Bennett krooned
in his day.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
I left my heart in San Francisco, and the Giants
are trying to ride one of those cable cars and
climb halfway to the stars. And I don't like the Giants.
I'm a Dodger fan, but I can be neutral here.
The Giants the last couple of seasons have been serving
up slow turned vanilla ice cream with no sugar.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Bland.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Right, They're a starless roster, devoid of spice. Now, you
don't have to have a star to win in baseball,
but you do have to have a star to be interesting,
and they don't have that, right, They're devoid of that spice.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
They need a headliner.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
They need some pepper, and it doesn't guarantee you're gonna win,
but it does make you at least interesting.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Little rasmutas right, final thought. Quickly we head to all cod.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Now we are told that the Blue Jays have been
getting tons of text messages, a lot of phone calls.
People are like, hey, we really like to get Vladdie
Vladimir Guerrero Junior, and if we can't get him, we
want bobershek now.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
The reporting is like, the Jays are.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Considering, they don't want to, but they're considering possibly trading
Vladimir Guerrero Junior or Bobashed, so make it make sense.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
So there is no defending the indefensible.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
And I'm not a Blue Jay guide, but I can say,
as a baseball observer, a connoisseur of baseball, if the
Blue Jays were to trade Vladimir Guerrero or Bolbashet, they
should call in the Mounties. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police
should investigate those hosers with the Blue Jays if they
do it. And I know the argument is you got
(12:58):
you can't keep everybody right, you can't do whatever you do,
you gotta get rid of guys. But I look at
the Blue Jays and it's a big turning point year
in twenty twenty four. So I know they're trying supposedly
to get Otani, but what's it seems like a zero
some game. You get Otani and you get rid of
Ladimir Guerrero. If in one breath you want Otani and
then you're gonna trade one of your core players, It's
(13:21):
like was this the Gong Show?
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Like what's the.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Point and where's the point of cultivating minor league players?
Now I have I'm trade all the prospects.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Guy, I'm that guy. But you actually win the lottery
a couple of times, you get.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Two All star level ball players in Guerrero and Bashett
who happen to be the spawn of other All star ballplayers.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
But fine, you you won.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Congratulations and then you you're like, I can't afford them
because they're too They're both gonna get two big contracts.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
And I like, what's the point of that.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
It's like, we're only allowed to have one good minor
league player.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Get to the big leagues at a time, otherwise.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
We have to wheel and deal and all ye. Anyway,
it is the Ben Mallor Show. If you'd like to

the Mallor riddle of.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
The day, and.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
I've got a couple of options here. I'm trying to
think this is a last second show here. I have
to bring a couple options because I don't know if
Eddie's going to steal my malle real. He did not
do it today. But I still have two good options,
all right, So why don't we do this one? I
will do this one. Deebo Samuel of the forty nine

Speaker 1 (18:15):
For wearing blank, that is the Mallard riddle of the day.
And let's see.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Donkey Sausage says a diaper was the answer. Robin Minnesota
says he wore a keep on truck and shirt. Well,
that would be embarrassing. Bad job by him.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Leg warmers. He wore leg warmers.
Speaker 2 (18:33):

Speaker 2 (18:48):
Ferk Dog says for wearing glasses He called him four eyes?

Mike and Colorado says for wearing a Cousin Eddie winter
hat hat. It's bad job by him. Matt the Warrior Raider,
as Fan says, Deebo Samuel was clowning on Mike McDaniel
for wearing a Golden Girls T shirt.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
That is the answer to the malar riddle.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Well, that is interesting. He's not Rob Parker though, so
he did not, unfortunately do that. High school class ring
guest by Sean in Portland, Ryan in Maine going with
Felexus in Buffalo's Lingerie. A CrOx and a tow to
two from Eke in Roseville, Minnesota. Who else do we have?

like to get that double o Mexican said, a bro.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Is the answer, But I think he meant a bra.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
I think he meant a bra, but I guess it
is called That's right, that's a seinfilm, Yes, bra for ladies.
Speaker 6 (19:52):
Yeah, the bro.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
According to this, the bro chuck the ram fan, says,
Deebo Samuel rip Mike mcdani angel for wearing big baller shoes.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
That is what he said. All right, Eddy, you have
an answer, Eddie.
Speaker 6 (20:06):
Well, I believe it was shoes, but it wasn't it
like a rare expensive pair of sneakers?
Speaker 2 (20:13):
You asked that with a question mark, Eddie, is that
your final? Deebo Samuel appeared on a podcast this week
and goofed on Mike McDaniel for wearing sneakers that were
too big for his feet. Yes, apparently wearing sneakers with
(20:36):
an inch to an inch and a half of extra space.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
And I don't know why would you do that?
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Well, he didn't you get blisters?
Speaker 1 (20:45):
I don't know, Eddie. I'm looking at the photo.
Speaker 6 (20:47):
I'm looking at.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
That looks like I believe you're incorrect. I'm an guy, Eddie,
and I know shoes better than you. And that does
look like the shoes too big.
Speaker 6 (20:57):
No, it isn't. It's clearly wrong. I'm not I'm looking
right photos from behind his feet and it's clearly not
too big.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
I'm looking the photo.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
That's a big. That's a big.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
You get blisters when you wear shoes that are too.
Speaker 6 (21:13):
They had to fit snugly.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
And I don't know if you ever had heel blisters,
but those are nasty, man, those heel blisters.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
They're terrible, terrible, terrible, terrible.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
I've had a few blisters back in the day, but
i haven't had a blister in a while. I've been
blister free, Benny for some time. Interesting, Eddie has not
followed up on this hockey story.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Corey par you don't have to wait till the end
of the weekend. He can talk.
Speaker 6 (21:38):
That was good, okay, Well, first of all, I did
watch the press conference from Kyle Davidson of the Blackhawks, UH,
and he was extremely vague about most of it. But
the one thing he did say was that it was
a workplace situation.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
And then you're sleeping with his mom. Wouldn't that be
a workplace?
Speaker 6 (21:59):
Didn't all of any player or their families? That was
the quote from the GM.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Okay and you believe him. So why wouldn't you think
they wouldn't you think the Blackhawks would try to cover
this up.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
They already embarrassed.
Speaker 6 (22:13):
They just are coming off covering up a sense of
I realize that. So I'm pretty sure. No, they wouldn't
wanted to go down that road. Again, you are so gullible, Yes,
I'm so.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
And you they lie to your face and you believe them.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
And oh, by the way, Blackhawks lied for years, and
you think now they're being honest.
Speaker 6 (22:32):
What they just did when the generals were fired in
their Hall of Famers and they still haven't gotten jobs
in the NHL.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
People we have had, people in sports, had worked at
Fox Sports, who have told me in the radio studio, oh, yeah,
we lied all the time to the media, and you
believe everything you believe in this situation.
Speaker 6 (22:53):
In this situation, under this circumstance, I find it very
hard to believe that the Blackhawks are going to.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
That Blackhawks have benefit of the doubt because they.
Speaker 6 (23:02):
Just went through a huge and they're still being sued by.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
But Eddie, if this happened, right, it's that's say it
was a consenting situation, right.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (23:17):
ESPN is reporting that Corey Perry had an incident with
a team employee, that this that this is why he
was released.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Maybe that's the case, but maybe it's also maybe that's
something else that happened after he was stooping a teammates
a mom and then he got into it with a
PR person about that, like maybe, hey, maybe you shouldn't.
Speaker 6 (23:36):
Be sorry that this isn't what a lot of sick
people want it to be. But it isn't all right.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Just for those that are knew the show, Eddie is gullible,
believes everything professional ben believes any every every every scandal
that's happened over the years that has been verified and
initially reported as bogus.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Eddie believes the initial story. Right, you probably believe that
across story was legitimate, right?
Speaker 6 (24:01):
No?
Speaker 1 (24:02):
No, why not? You didn't believe that one? Why didn't
you believe that one? Why not, Eddie?
Speaker 6 (24:07):
Because there wasn't proven.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
It was just okay, this is an allegation, it's not and.
Speaker 6 (24:12):
It reported that he had with a team employee, and
again was that after he did what he possibly did?
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Why is that hard to believe?
Speaker 4 (24:21):
Is it not?
Speaker 2 (24:21):
Like I've been on the road, I've been on the road.
I've been on the road before and my younger days
with professional team. You're you know, you go to the
hotel bar, stuff happens, there's other employees there from the team,
and and sometimes there's interactions You're like, what are you doing?
You shouldn't be talking to that person whatever. Uh, and
so why is that not a possibility?
Speaker 1 (24:41):
I mean, I'm not gonna.
Speaker 6 (24:44):
Word anything is a possibility.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Okay, listen, you believe everything these people say.
Speaker 6 (24:49):
I know that you believe anything out there because that's
what you want to believe, because you think.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
It.
Speaker 6 (24:58):
All right, So I have no idea about why don't
do it?
Speaker 1 (25:01):
They denied it. Why do you believe? Why do you
think there's a chance that happened.
Speaker 6 (25:05):
I don't know that they denied it, as there were.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
People denied it at the time the story came out.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
They said it wasn't true. They denied it. So anyway,
it is the Ben Mathers show. I can't control my
honey level.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Yeah, all right, there are the people that well, I
won't get into it you but anyway, all right, we
will press off me at the Iowa Minute coming up
in a couple of minutes. We will also we will
also give you a radio game show effect. If one
of those two guys, one of those two guys wants
to play coop, I see them on hold. If they
(25:40):
want to play, fine, if not, eight seven seven ninety
nine on Fox, We're gonna have too much or not enough.
But right now, let's get you caught up on a
man that believes everything professional sports tells him.
Speaker 6 (25:51):
Eddie Garcia, that's not true, and I do believe.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
What have you not believed?
Speaker 6 (25:55):
Eddie?
Speaker 1 (25:55):
What story have you not believe?
Speaker 3 (25:57):
Anyone?
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Right now? The time to lie all the time in.
Speaker 6 (26:03):
This specific situation, the one time they would not lie
because of what you went through to protect a franchise.
Franchise just went through the absolute sewer. For them to
come back and do another cover up like months later
would be safe.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Because this is their savior. But this is much different
than that scandal.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
It if this is two consenting adults that are around
the same age. If it was to adults, spending wouldn't
say that star players.
Speaker 6 (26:35):
If it's.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Players, mom, man, that's a terrible thing. Franchise.
Speaker 4 (26:41):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven PM Pacific in
college football.
Speaker 6 (26:48):
Back to college football. He is returning to the scene
of the crime. Uh, this was a salacious incident, that
was it was that one. Either that's not true. Arkansas
is hiring Boston happened, it didn't happen. Arkansas hiring Bobby
Patrino to be their new offensive coordinator. Of course, he
was their head coach from twenty eight to twenty eleven
(27:08):
when he had that incident with the Was it.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
A student, It was a student.
Speaker 6 (27:13):
She worked in the department.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Yeah, you buried the lead Eddy on this, you buried
the lead.
Speaker 6 (27:20):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
By hiring Bobby Patrino, Arkansas is violating the Bobby Patrino
rule that they put in. Really they put a they
put a rule in you can't hire somebody that lies
that gets I think it was what's the terminology. I
think that the terminology was somebody that gets fired for
being I think it was being dishonest because he had
(27:41):
lied about the motorcycle accident when he looked like he
showed up.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
With the neck place remember that.
Speaker 6 (27:46):
Of course, forget God.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Was that a great.
Speaker 6 (27:50):
Rumors floating around about why he was all beat up looking.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
But I won't go So the Bobby Batrino rule was
that he anybody that had been dismissed for call shall
not be eligible for re employment at Arkansas. Just win maybe,
but they want to score points, and the President waived
the Bobby Patrina rule to hire Bobby.
Speaker 6 (28:15):
All right, that's pretty amazing, it's pretty.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
That is outstanding. Oh my god. All right, by the way,
bad news. Are you any ferg Dog? Right? Since says
I'm with you, Ben Eddie is being illogical and abused.

Iowa minute. You're taking away from the Iowa minute.
Speaker 3 (30:03):
I want him on that. I want him on his
show right now, and I want him going on.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
Oh my god, you know you don't want to play
the game.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
You don't want to play the game, right I dropped him.
Speaker 6 (30:13):
I dropped him?
Speaker 1 (30:14):
Okay, Who's who's gonna play? Who do we get? Nobody?
All right? Jed? Who fled?
Speaker 6 (30:20):
Hello?
Speaker 1 (30:20):
Jed?
Speaker 3 (30:24):
Whatever?
Speaker 1 (30:24):
All right? He's not seem excited about this either, all right.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Derrick Henry became the sixth player in NFL history with
nine thousand or more rushing yards and at least eighty
rushing touchdowns his first eight seasons.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
Is that too much or not enough?
Speaker 3 (30:40):
Just like the girl from Alabama, Telo's our cousin, her
male cousin.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
Okay, that's unnecessary. Ah, that is correct, though not enough,
is what he said.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
He's the eighth player to accomplish this, So there you go.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
Question number two.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
Micah Parsons, he plays for the Dallas football team, recently
became the fifth player in NFL history with eleven or
more sacks and each in each of their first three seasons.
Is that too much or not enough?
Speaker 3 (31:04):
I'm at the end of a bender. My deification is
number two has been too much lately? So too much?
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Okay? Too much? Is he right? That's correct again? And
he's only a third problem to do it?
Speaker 3 (31:14):
Dad, We're left handed, but we're always right, baby.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Dwight Freeney and Reggie White. Question number three, jedwu Fledes
on a burner right now. He's been on those before.
There are currently eight quarterbacks with a passer rating over
one hundred?
Speaker 1 (31:30):
Is that too much or not enough?
Speaker 3 (31:33):
That the really old passer rating sounds like a Jerry
Atchick too much?
Speaker 1 (31:38):
That's right again, You've already won the game, all right,
good job? There are only six? Only seven? Question four,
We'll keep going.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
Tyreek kill is only is one of only four players
with thirteen hundred receiving yards and ten or more receiving
touchdowns in a season before the month of December?
Speaker 1 (31:57):
Is that too much or not enough?
Speaker 3 (32:00):
Name that not of white people have not enough?
Speaker 1 (32:03):
All right, not enough, and you're wrong, that's wrong.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
But you won the game anyway, Jet, so you get
a golden ticket, which means you'll probably call right.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
Back, call right time.
Speaker 2 (32:14):

Speaker 4 (33:04):
Like you give a damn now, presenting the most up
to date happenings from Iowa's four Division one teams, ladies
and gentlemen, cows and pigs. It's the Iowa Minute. Here's
Iowa Sam.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Already. Ben.
Speaker 7 (33:20):
I was uh back in Iowa for Thanksgiving. It was
a very nice trip and I was lucky enough, Ben
to go to my first Iowa home game at Kinnick
since twenty fifteen.
Speaker 6 (33:31):
How about that?
Speaker 1 (33:32):
Oh that's exciting there very well. I look at the
view of the Iowa farm land.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
There has nothing to watch on the field, right, Oh well.
Speaker 7 (33:40):
Not so not so it was Iowa versus Illinois. It
was sunny, it was fifty five degrees in November. I
was drunk and Iowa one in the final minutes, the.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
Hawks, you have another set of ash. Here's a pig hole.
Speaker 4 (33:53):
Hey, we got it.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
He's gonna go to the ends.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
O touch that, Iowa touch that Iowa no flags, Rusty bullet,
wide open over right guard.
Speaker 7 (34:03):
What a name, Rusty feth and Iowa clinch is the
mighty mighty big ten West fifteen to thirteen.
Speaker 6 (34:10):
But wait, there's more.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
It's a high scoring game.
Speaker 7 (34:12):
Very well, you know that's pretty Uh, you haven't seen
their muscles there.
Speaker 6 (34:17):
You haven't seen nothing yet. Iowa still on a quest
for a ten win season. It's not over.
Speaker 7 (34:21):
Iowa's Nebraska on Black Friday and Lincoln, Nebraska entered this game.
They were on a bit of a skid. They just
needed one more win to become Bowl eligible. And we're
in the final minute of the game, final minute and change. Wacky,
too whacky to describe how that final minute set up,
but basically Iowa was in position to kick the game
winning field goal with seconds left. But really tough day
(34:43):
at the office for Iowa. Kicker Drew Stevens. So a
little coaching decision here.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
They can't score touchdowns if they can't kick field right now,
you got problems.
Speaker 7 (34:51):
Yeah, if you only have the defense working but not
special teams, you're up the creek without a paddle. So
enter backup kicker, Marshall meter, oh Corey Taylor to hold
and Marshall meter trying to get out of town with
a Hawkeye victory.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
Here's the snap. The kick is on the way and
it is good. Good Marshall leader. The ball bounced back to.
Speaker 7 (35:18):
Tory Taylor meter meter chicken feeder. That was Gary Dolphin
on the call there from Learfield. Iowa wins thirteen to ten. Listen, Ben,
the point total for this game twenty four and a half.
I think I would hit the under in six or
seven straight games to conclude this season under under well.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
And last year they averaged two hundred and fifty eight
and a half yards per game, right, so they talked
about I remember the Hawkeys like we got to get
better on all Yeah, this year they're ranked one hundred
and thirty third and they're averaging eleven yards.
Speaker 1 (35:48):
Less than they did last year.
Speaker 7 (35:51):
I don't know man winning ten games with that anemic offense,
and you put it perfectly anemic offense.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
Oh my god, it I don't know.
Speaker 7 (35:59):
I mean listen and Kirk Farence. He came in Secon
a distant second place to David Brona Northwestern for Coach
the Year, despite his son getting fired midway through the season.
But Iowa wins that game thirteen to ten, and they
finished ten and two, and now they're off to the
Big Ten Title game to face the guets.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
I don't want to touch up your work here, Iowa, Sam,
but did you see the gambling market for the Big
Ten championship game? The points total in the first half
for Iowa against Michigan is one.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
I'm not kidding.
Speaker 2 (36:35):
So Iowa kicks a field goal, you win the bet
if you bet the over. Well, and I think I
believe it's one in the second half. Also, so if
they score one field goal, you're guaranteed to win one.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
Of those bets.
Speaker 6 (36:45):
Listen the game. This was the same.
Speaker 7 (36:47):
It was Iowa Michigan in the Big Ten title game
two years ago, twenty twenty one.
Speaker 6 (36:50):
It was forty two to three. Got a field goal,
they did, so you can win that bet. Listen. We
got more here listen.
Speaker 7 (36:58):
Iowa State, they wanted to packed the jack against Texas
two games ago. They ended up losing the game twenty
six to sixteen. Oh man, Yeah, listen, what a Debbie downer.
Final game of the season. It was a wild game.
They call this game Pharmageddon. This is Kansas State versus
Iowa State. It was in Manhattan.
Speaker 6 (37:18):
It was snowing. You're upset, you're defended by Farmageddon.
Speaker 1 (37:22):
Yes, I'm bothered by that bother.
Speaker 7 (37:23):
Well, this game, uh, this will brighten your day. Was
loaded to the brim with big plays and the man
who was leading that charge was Abu Sama the third
This was the Abu Sama show. Get ready for an
extremely extremely long highlight reel.
Speaker 6 (37:38):
Here we go and.
Speaker 8 (37:39):
Bect we'll head it off to a boot Sama upti
middlely goes.
Speaker 1 (37:42):
Huge hole in here he goes off to the races.
Speaker 8 (37:46):
This is going to be a touchdown to start the game.
Speaker 6 (37:50):
Seventy one yards.
Speaker 8 (37:53):
Off the right side to the outside and here goes
again till on the right sideline that he's a threat
to take it to this since again and he will
Baboo Samma seventy seven more yards and another cyclone touchdowns
where this is almost swear from the forty and here's
a head off sam a big hole again up the middle.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
Here goes up oo Samma again.
Speaker 6 (38:17):
Then he gets popped forward. He's gonna take it all
the way for another cyclone.
Speaker 1 (38:22):
Touchdown sixty yards?
Speaker 6 (38:25):
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 7 (38:27):
Abu Sama sixteen carries two hundred and seventy six yards
and three touchdowns in the snow, Ben, how about that
he would.
Speaker 2 (38:34):
Lead Iowa and scoring on that game alone?
Speaker 7 (38:36):
Awys, he would all the yards for Iowa would be
right there. That guy was just tearing it up. I
was State finished to seven and five. He really bounced
back from last season the gambling scandal. Six and two
in the Big twelve. Good for them, all right, I
gotta kind of mi scoot this ahead here. Drake and
Northern Iowa both got pummeled by North Dakota States, sadly,
but Drake did finish perfect in the Pioneer League and
(38:59):
doesn't look like Northern i I will make it to
the postseason.
Speaker 1 (39:01):
What about the farming? I need the farm?
Speaker 7 (39:03):
No, I know, well, the harvests are pretty much in
the bin there, Ben, Let's skip to the trivia really quick,
all right, Let's wrap it up with this ben in
nineteen forty three, what seemingly exotic crop, especially exotic for
the time where Iowa farmers asked to grow to help
the war efforts.
Speaker 6 (39:19):
Sixty thousand acres of this crop to be specific.
Speaker 1 (39:21):
Right, pineapples.
Speaker 6 (39:23):
Wrong, it was actually that would be kind of cool,
but it was hemp.
Speaker 1 (39:27):
Hemp, hemp.
Speaker 4 (39:27):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (39:28):
Coop gets excited.
Speaker 8 (39:29):
And narcotic medically and legally.
Speaker 6 (39:31):
It never did nobody any good.
Speaker 7 (39:32):
I told Hi, we're running a time here. I told
Coop to stick around just for that, and uh oh,
we don't have time for this final question. But you
know what, I'm gonna be getting more Iowa trivia into
the Iowa Minute.
Speaker 6 (39:40):
We had a lot of highlights. They had to catch
up a little bit.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
I remember, we want the highlights with all do the
trivia right? People hear that on the weekend. They want
to hear the trivia trivia We got pot. They want
to hear about farming rapport.
Speaker 1 (39:51):
