And Vikings quarterback J. J. McCarthy having an alter ego
named nine is blank. All right, we'll fill in the
blank on that the Viking quarterback as an imaginary friend. Also,
(00:23):
what would happen in baseball if the Dodgers had now
former Mets closer Edwin Diaz, who's a free agent this offseason.
There's some chatter early on the Dodgers are going to
go after Edwin Diaz to fix their bullpen, even though
they just won back to back World Series. And what's
the most puzzling thing about Blues goalie Jordan Bingington trying
(00:46):
to take Alex Ovechkin's nine hundredth career goal.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
It's quite the amusing story.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
It was a goalen opportunity and Bennington went for it
didn't quite work out for him. We've got that, foy
all so ask ben this hour. It's all coming your
way right now.

If you have multiple personalities, that's like having two quarterbacks
for the price of one. Right. Welcome, in the beginning
(01:28):
of another hour of the Ben Mallor Show. We are
in the air everywhere with bull dust as we are

and all that and beyond the vast and particularly powerful
microphones of FSR am monating live from the whispers of
wisdom from the world famous Fox Sports Radio Studios, as
approved by Benito, the long suffering cowboy fan who likes
(02:09):
the penny over.
Speaker 1 (02:10):

come a little bit later. You can get those questions
in right now hashtag ask Ben and friends. We normally
don't do sporty. We normally don't do sporty, but we'll
answer other questions.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
So if there's something on your mind.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
We can solve all of life's problems in one long
segment of talk radio. So our lead this hour is
from Minneapolis, minas ale to Minnesota and Ice. Minnesota and Ice,
the home of the Juicy Lucy and the myth building
of J. J. McCarthy is underway in the Twin Cities now.
(03:33):
The Vikings were big underdogs against the Lions this past
weekend and McCarthy made a couple of plays late. Didn't
play particularly great, but made enough plays the Vikings won
the game and now everyone's back on board. That's how
this works. So if you have not been following the
red shirt rookie, it's no the way to describe it.
(03:55):
He play as a rookie because he was hurt, so
he's a red shirt rookie quarterback JJ mcca Now he
acknowledged randomly, randomly recently that his new game day persona
has a name.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Nine, nine, a reference to his.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Jersey digit, the number on his jersey. McCarthy, the old
Michigan quarterback, said it is a byproduct of the anger,
the anger built up over time missed because of the
medley of injuries that he has acquired. The one real
skill that McCarthy has shown in the nfls and ability
to get hurt, and he's done.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Really a lot of that work, good work getting hurt.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
So McCarthy says, it taps into his raw anger from
sideline the games and transforms him into this competitive beast
rather than letting all that derail him. So that is
the that is the argument from McCarthy. It's a good
(05:02):
jumping off points. So let's discuss the question Viking's quarterback
JJ McCarthy.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Having an alter ego named nine. That is blank.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
So before I fill in the blank my views on this,
I've got Steve miller Man deep in the woods and
frozen oceans, and we'll combine all of these things together
and we're gonna make the gobbagool. We're gonna make the gobbagole.
And when you have gobbagool, you gotta have a side
on the babaganoosh.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
So we're gonna combine all that together.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Now, first of all, my I'm gonna go with two words.
I said, Well, it's a word game. The way we
set this up. Viking quarterback JJ McCarthy having an alter
ego named nine is blank. My words are General Mills
cuckoo for cocoa puffs. All right, what is it like?
(05:58):
Love on the Spectrum NFL edition here? Now, a lot
of people have imaginary friends when they're kids, and when
you get to a I know he's a young guy,
but he's not a kid anymore.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
JJ McCarthy, Right, he's a young adult. And then it's
one of those weird things in life. There's some things that.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
You're allowed to have when you're a kid, and then
when you get older you can't have it because if
you get older and you have it, they think you're on.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Fentanyl or something or crack or whatever. Right, you know
what's going on. You have an alter ego, you have
a separate personality. What is up with that? Anyway?
Speaker 2 (06:30):
So, yeah, let smoke some crack. So McCarthy's out there.
It's named his Inner Demon, like he's auditioning for some
kind of future Marvel movie or something like that. So
this is the Steve Miller band Space Cowboy. It's like
Space Cowboy stuff. JJ misses some games, gets hurt a lot,
(06:50):
he stares into the mirror and he comes back with
this whole new persona. This whole new persona. Now I
know the way this works. I've seen this kind of
thing in the past. So if JJ McCarthy turns out
to be good for the Minnesota Vikings, like he knows
what he's doing, this becomes the stuff of folklore. This
becomes the stuff of legend, the legend of nine coming
(07:11):
to a TV near you and a docu series.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
For ten dollars a month. Now, if he.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Stinks, if McCarthy blows, then this becomes a punchline, and
the kid's gonna be like what people canna say, Well,
the kid didn't actually go to Michigan. He graduated from
the Wrangling Brothers in Barnum and Bailey Clown College.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
And it's like.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Ladies and gentlemen under Center, the human split personality under
the big top right.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Now, McCarthy's gonna.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Need two camera crews if he's good, One for JJ
and one for Number nine. Welcome to the new NFL,
where quarterbacks don't just have mechanics, they've got alter egos.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
So would you rather have your quarterback?
Speaker 3 (07:56):
Now?
Speaker 2 (07:56):
I guess this is not technically an imaginary friend. It's
an alter ego. So it could be is nine a
friend of McCarthy as anyone asked JJ McCarthy If number
nine is a friend of McCarthy's or an enemy?
Speaker 1 (08:08):
So what a division? That is quite the bit.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
You've got the Chicago quarterback who's got the manny and
the petty covered Caleb Williams. You've got JJ McCarthy who's
got a split personality thing. And then what's going It's
gonna be something about Jordan Love and Jared Goff. We
need to find some dirt about those guys. I'm sure
there's something out there. Now turning the page, we go
to baseball. That's right, talking Bay's ball.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Why would we bring up baseball? The World Series? And
then what is wrong with you? Why would you do that?
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Well, today's a big day if you're a fan of
the transaction, and that is often more fun than the
game itself. Because today the flag is up major League
Baseball free agency is open for business. Yes, just a
few days after the World Seriously Dodgers, of course, fresh
(09:00):
off winning According to Rob Manford, another piece of metal
already said to be big game hunting. Yeah, Dodgers said
to be big game hunting now looking for bullpen depth.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
I wonder why they're looking for bullpen depth. Now?
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Who do you think the Dodgers have been connected to
in free agency which hasn't even really gotten going yet.
Who do you think they've been connected to? Do you
have an idea? Okay, you haven't paid attention? Okay, I
got it, I got it. Well, the biggest name is
not a pitcher. The biggest name, and this guy hasn't
been tied to the Dodgers Kyle Schwarber. He's from the
Philadelphia Phillies. The biggest name that has been connected early.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
On to the Dodgers is Edwin Diaz.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Edwin Diaz, Yes, that same Edwin Diaz who is thirty
one turns thirty two during the next baseball season, and
the same Edwin Diaz.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
That had an earn run average under two with the Mets.
Last year, and.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
He is the top available closer on the auctioning block,
at the very top.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
So the question.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
What would happen if the Dodgers added former Mets closer
Edwin Diaz in free agency. So this would be a
trip to the cabaret, the chaos cabaret. It would be
absolute chaos in the cabaret.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
The Dodgers have the checkbook.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
They just made more money because they won the World Series,
so they pocketed even more money. And they have so
much money it never runs out. Everyone else in baseball,
even the rich teams, are shopping deep in the woods
at the Dollar Tree, and the Dodgers when they go
shopping they go to Rodeo.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Drive, and when they're visiting New York they go.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
To Madison Avenue. This is the new Tiger Woods. In
sports years ago, when I was doing sports radio in
the first part of the two thousands, if you were
having a slow day and it was a major golf tournament,
you say, all right, they got the Masters coming up.
Would you take tiger Woods or the field British Open,
tiger Woods.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Of the field.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
At this point, it's the Dodgers versus the field. We're
at that point in the axis of baseball. They've become
that team. They've become the team that everyone either loves
to watch because you like greatness, or you want to
watch to see them lose. And the argument which has
(11:29):
been made many times that you do not want dynasty.
So many people I'm not saying you, because I don't
know you, but so many people I come across they
live on Mount Terody and they want everything to be equal.
They want to kind of like the people of New York.
They want socialism, right, they want that in sports. And
(11:50):
so we've seen it with the Dodgers. They've record raced
most people watching game a World Series game in like
thirty something years, going back to the nineties. And you
had a team in Canada versus the Dodgers, as supposedly
everyone hates and is tuned out, And why did people watch,
(12:10):
Because again, you either want to see greatness, you want
to see this thing continue with the Dodgers, or you're
a hater and you want some shodenfreud and you want to.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
See the thing just implode. You want to see it
go off the road into a ditch. And that's it.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
The moment that this rumor becomes reality it's not reality.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
I want to be very clear, it's just a rumor.
Who knows. Edwin Diaz could resign with the Mets today
for all we know.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
But should he go to the Dodgers in the multiverse,
the rest of baseball will immediately freak out. There'll be
a primal scream. Oh no, here come the Dodgers again.
They did the same song and dance last winter. I'm
barely old enough to remember. You might recall the Dodgers
(12:56):
signed this dominating relief pitcher by the name of Tanner Scott.
They gave him seventy two million dollars over four years,
and people screamed, you're ruining my sport of baseball.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Why would you do that. They were so upset, they
were so sad, they were depressed.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Oh my, I can never watch baseball again because Tanner
Scott is a Dodger. Well, Tanner Scott was a Dodger
seventy two million dollars and it was a boon doggle.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Tanner Scott turned in to a pumpkin. He turned into
a pumpkin.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Had an era of close to five, set the Dodger
franchise record for blown saves. He did that Tanner Scott
did that most blown saves all time as a Dodger.
Tanner Scott very expensive, very expensive, and he appeared in
as many playoff games as a Dodger as.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
You and I did.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Combined, we had as many playoff appearance as Tanner Scott.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Now, this would be different, right, Edwin Diaz. Supposedly it's
gonna be different. You never know how players are going
to adapt to new environments and the pressure of big games.
There's not that many big games Edwin Diaz has been in.
So if you drop and close closer with an era
of under two into a pitching staff that already has
(14:24):
Yamamoto and Glass now and bro I'm risking my life
braw Blake Snell and sho Hey Otani, that's the whole mcgilla.
If you add another closer queue up the Ray Charles,
Here we go again, Right, Here we go again song
from Ray Charles.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
And you know what'll happen, right because we saw it
last year.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
It'll just get even louder this year. Every fan base
that doesn't spend money will lose their mind. They'll cry about.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Their disparity and they'll say that there must be change, and.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Meanwhile the Dodgers just keep doing laps around the league.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
And it's not evil.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
It's efficiency with the side of unlimited credit. And it's
working around the People's Republic of California taxation where you
pay all these guys big money so they can go
live in Florida or wherever and they don't have to
pay California taxes. That's the great work around. Like if
they closed the tax loophole, that would end the Dodgers.
Like if the Dodgers actually had to pay the players
and they got taxed at California rates.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Most of these guys would not sign with the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
But if the Dodgers land Edwin Diaz, it's another punch
to the gut, our.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Body blow, body blow, body blow to.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
The rest of baseball, and a reminder that while everyone
else is playing Parcheesi, the Dodgers are playing Monopoly, and
they've got all the hotels on every property.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
And they're good to go, all right.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Final thought, the rare and appropriate hockey reference.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
We'd like to alert all the affiliates the rare and
appropriate hockey reference on the Overnight Show somewhere Eddie Garcia
is turning over in bed smiling.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
So yep, the big Zamboni. Calm down, Eddie. So Alex Ovechkin,
I'm told that's a hockey player, and a good one.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
He scored his nine hundredth career NHL goal last night.
Capitals beat up the Blues six to one. I'm told
that's a big deal. Ovechkin is the only member of
the nine hundred goal club. Okay, good for him. And
he scored the goal with two thirty nine or two
thirty nine into the second period of that game. Caught
(16:30):
a rebound off the boards, backhanded it past the goaltender.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Jordan Bennington, and so there you go, forty year old,
only player and the nine hundred gold club to reach
that milestone.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
The bench came out to celebrate, to commemorate the achievement. Now,
we love round numbers. No one had ever scored eight
hundred and ninety nine goals before. We just love round numbers.
Nobody gets excited about eight ninety nine goals, but nine
hundred just hits different. It just hits different. It's genetics.
It goes back to learning numbers and round numbers. You
(17:04):
have if you're unless you've lost a toe or finger
along the way, you're normally given ten toes and ten
fingers unless something went wrong somewhere along the way.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
And so that's how that that works. Now.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
The reason I'm bringing this up that to me, that's
not really great talk radio. What are you gonna say?
Alexo Vetchin's scored a lot of goals. He scored another goal.
Good for him. The story here is Blues goalie Jordan Bennington,
who decided after he allowed the nine out of the goal,
he wanted to get a souvenir and he did some
(17:36):
tricker ration. We actually have the audio on this, so
let's go to the audio tape. As the Saint Louis
Blues goaltender attempted to do the thing you shouldn't do
at the time, you shouldn't do it.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Take a listen. He done something for the goal he scored.
He's got the putt. That's what he does with the pucket.
He's gonna keep it in his pants. I don't know
if he.
Speaker 5 (17:57):
Wants to sell it on the open, but they're not.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Gonna get that puck from Bennington.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
But that is until Wiman Michelle Cormier came over and said, hey.
Speaker 6 (18:10):
Joe, catch it that there's cameras everywhere, guys. To us,
his eBay account would have been popping off after this
game that he pulled that heist off.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Yeah, so Jordan Bennington, it's more of a visual thing
than an every him.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
But he tried to hide this historic puck in his
badunka dunk yeah yeah, And the referee.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Had to come over there, the linesman had to come
over say hey, hey, dumb, dumb, we need the puck back.
All right.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Question, what is the most puzzling thing about the Saint
Louis Blues goalie Jordan Bennington trying to take Alex Ovechkin's
nine hundredth career goal puck with him?
Speaker 1 (18:48):
So the obvious is like, what are you thinking?
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Like the fact that he thought he could actually get
away with that is fascinating. Like this was frozen Ocean's
eleven all on ice, thousands of cameras, not just the
TV cameras, thousands of eyewitnesses all trying to go viral
on social media, recording every moment there. And we've seen
(19:12):
in sports over the last ten years or so, it's
gotten progressively worse. I remember when Lebron James broke the
NBA scoring record, and there's this iconic photo of Lebron
from behind the basket the other basket, and you see
Lebron make the shot, and you see seventeen thousand people
looking like Lady Liberty with their arm extended trying to
(19:35):
get the shot. This is what you see here on
the If you're watching on the YouTube, you can like that.
So you do the called the Statue of Liberty, where
you have your hand in the air. And so this
guy thought, Okay, everyone's recording this. I'm going to get
away with this. I'm out here running a hockey heist movie.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
I guess he.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Assumed everyone was focused on Alex Ovechkin, so no one
would be looking at him.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
It's possible that was the case. Now there is a
theory I want to run this value.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
There's a theory that he actually did steal Ovechkin's puck.
Is it true that Saint Louis Blues goaltender Jordan Bennington
pulled what's known as the dummy Puck operation? The dummy
Puck operation, I bring this up. We just saw in
the World series a father's son duo in Toronto caught
(20:26):
the two iconic home runs late in the game for
the Dodgers, the Miguel Rojas home run that tied it
in the ninth and the Will Smith home run in
the eleventh that won it. Father son combo, Now the dad.
I believe it was caught the Miguel Rojas home run,
and it looked like on TV he threw the ball
back on the field.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
The crowd went wild.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Well, now it is believed, and I think this has
been verified from what I read, that he had a
second ball and he tossed the dummy ball back. The
guys at Wrigley Field are really good about that. The
cub fans and Tree in Chicago backed me up on this,
and Yafimi and Faz and all those guys because they
have like they bring extra balls with him. It's like
bringing sand to the beach just in case they get
(21:06):
an iconic ball. Then they tossed the dummy ball back.
So it's conspiracy, deep state.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Whatever.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Wouldn't shock me. It would not, and I watched the
replay a bunch times. Would not shock me. If Bennington
had a backup decoy puck stuff deep in his tushy
right between the cheeks, right there, and he had that,
which likely explains why he played so terribly for the
Saint Louis Blues in this game. Bennington, by the way,
he has made a lot of money thirty six million
(21:34):
dollars in hockey.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
That's a lot of money. In the other sports not
so much.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
And he probably figured like, Hey, the holidays are coming up,
I'm gonna get this authenticated, this puck and be a
nice little holiday bonus, because you know, Ovechkin not that
popular in the States, but in Russia, in Mother Russia,
he's like, all the oligarchs there in Russia would have
paid half a million rubles for that piece of rubber.
(22:00):
It's just a hunk of rubbert, is all the commissioner
would say. Instead, it turns out that Jordan Bennington is
left singing the blues. And it reminded me also, you
got to be kind of old now to remember this,
which shocks me that you have to be old, because
I remember being on the radio after this happened and we.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Were talking about it and it was like wow, and it's.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Been over twenty years. But the Boston Red Sox used
to be cursed. They had this thing called the Curse
of the ban Bino and I know Alf knows where
I'm going right now. And I believe also Danny DeVito
does as well, the trash man Danny and Vito.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
So the Red Sox finally won the World Series. I
believe it was against the Cardinals and this guy.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
Named dougman Kavich. At the time, he was a blatoon
first baseman with big Poppy. So dougman Kavich got the ball.
Remember this, he was the Red Sox first baseman. He
caught the final out of the four World Series to
end the Curse of the Banbino, and he wouldn't give
the ball back. He said, that's my ball. I'm not
giving the ball back. That's my ball. The only difference
(22:57):
here is Byington is not even obviously on the team
that had the accomplishment, the Washington Capitals, And that's what
makes this even more ridiculous. At leastman Kaevich was on
the Red Sox. This guy's out there trying to boost
Ovechkin's milestone souvenirs, trying to grab it and put in
his pocket and run away and make some money and
(23:17):
boost his financials there, like he's some kind of hockey
cat burglar or something like that it's it's like a
porch pirate, but in this case he's a goaltending pirate.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
So I thought that was a fun story.
Speaker 7 (23:32):
It is the.

(27:22):
Lorraine again the question the riddle of the day. Former
NFL player Matt Khalil's ex wife went public. Blamed the
demise of their marriage on blank.
Speaker 8 (27:31):
She blamed it on the booget.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
She blamed it, Doug the correct the answer, Lorena. She
blamed it on the size of his manhood. About that, yeah, apparently, Yeah. Yeah,
And it wasn't that it was too small, Lorrana. Yeah,
she went the other direction. She said that there was
a size issue there that was a problem.
Speaker 8 (27:56):
I was just talking about this the other day.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
You really, you were it's thing that would that would
come up.
Speaker 9 (28:01):
Yes, it is interesting, but you know, sizes really do differ.
And but you think that you'd figure that out kind
of early on in the relationship if it works for
you or not.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
Yeah, you would think that they did not wait to
consummate the relationship until the night.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
They got married, but who knows. You never know, you
never know. She's I guess.
Speaker 8 (28:20):
An influence very big though. Wow.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Well either that or she's just making because it's possible
that she just made that up because she was a
social media influencer.
Speaker 8 (28:31):
And you know, exaggeration it is good for the story.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
Embellishment, right, you know embellishment in there. It is the
Ben Mallers shows sick and calls all what.
Speaker 8 (28:40):
The biggest circumference has been recorded?
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Uh no, for somehow I've not I've not done that.
I don't know why.
Speaker 8 (28:49):
I looked it up and it says that it has not.
Speaker 9 (28:53):
It is what it hasn't been recorded, like there's been
rumors of like and I'm like, how do you guys
not measure that?
Speaker 8 (28:59):
Like you guys?
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Well, I remember when I when I well, when I
first got into uh into La media, la radio, there
was a guy named Milton Burle or whatever, the actor
the early and that.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Was like the legendary you know, that was like the supposedly.
Speaker 8 (29:16):
The biggest of the baddest.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
Yeah, Milton Burrell, that's his name. But I don't, I don't,
I never you know, he was before my time. He
died when I was just started my career, so I
never met him.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
Now let's go to Steve in Manhattan. I know Steve's excited.
Hello Steve, Welcome Steve O and the Big Apple.
Speaker 10 (29:36):
Uncle Milty Ben distinguished panel, expanding audience. Welcome, ty Haw.
I'm gonna do something that's ever been done on this show.
I want to make a request for a song. I
want hot and soul, but I want to be sung
by b Wayne singing from the nineteen thirties Beautiful. I
never knew the song hought and soul had words to it.
(29:58):
I thought it was a piano which for metal. But
she's great and you're gonna love it all right. Baseball's
famous Baseball seven fifty five. Aaron, the grounds keeper, picks
the ball up right. He wants to give it back
to Aaron. He can't get access to him. They don't
even care. He leaveses the ball, They fire, and they
charge it. Twenty years later, doing the hot shots of
(30:19):
the nineties, he sells it for six hundred and twenty
five thousand. He even got Aaron to sign the ball
during one of those Baseball things autographed signings, and Aaron
didn't know he had the baseball in his hand when
he signed it. Also, let's forget the Coveys winning the
World Series. Brian to Rizzo. Rizzo coming off the base,
what does he do? He pockets to baseball. See the
(30:40):
way he slips it into his back pocket. I mean,
this goes on forever in sports, right Jesus three thousand
hit was the first time it was a home run
and the guy could have sold the ball for over
a million bucks. He shuttles for a suite for the
rest of the season. Come on, man, let's let's get
on top of that stuff.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
You know.
Speaker 10 (30:59):
But the Jets, I don't know if the Colt fans
actually watch any Jet games. But so's guard that can't tackle,
and what is a defensive back? Let's be honest, what
is the quantity as a guy who tried out in
high school for wide receiver and he couldn't catch, so
they made him a defensive back. The guy also can't tack,
so you get they did get The Jets got away
(31:21):
with one here with two first pick round picks. You
watched some of those highlights. The guy's playing Patty kick.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
Back there and so Steve, so Steve. They didn't First
of all, they didn't get away with one. He was
on the All Pro team for two years, not just
like the Pro Bowl. He was on the All Pro.
Is he perfect, Saust Gardener? No, he's not perfect. He's
not perfect at all. But the chances of the Jets
drafting a player with any of those draft picks that's
a two time All Pro within the first few years
(31:47):
of his career is almost zero. So you gave up
something for a lesser player.
Speaker 10 (31:55):
Gardiner lived, Well, I'll reply, well, no, I.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
Mean that's the point. You you think that you're excited
about how many times do the Jets.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Have to do this before you realize what a scam
it is. I don't understand. I don't get it.
Speaker 10 (32:09):
The Jets always do it the Jets.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
I know.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
That's my point, Steve, And they sucked for a generation
or more than that.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
They've sucked. So what point do you say, well, maybe
this isn't the way to go.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
How about we had a defense that had some talent
and you don't need to have a great offense. If
you have a pretty good defense, you can just have
an average offense and you can be a playoff team.
Speaker 10 (32:34):
Well, you would, your offense would keep the defense off
the field. But it's what's got in that lived off
his first year. He did have a good first year,
and then his second year wasn't that good, and he's
not playing that good this year, and you cold fans
just well, first of all, I'm a Giant fan. I'm
not a Jet fan, okay, but the Jets they made
it on this deal. Same thing with the Williams trade
(32:56):
to do well.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
No, again, I disagree with your hypothesis.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
You have no idea what they're gonna get.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
They got a chance to draft someone else, but you
have no idea where those guys are gonna play or not.
So there's no way to say that they won the
trade until you know who they're actually gonna get, And
you won't know that for three years, and by then
you won't care because you'll move on to something else.
This is why this is the greatest single scam in
the industrial complex of sports, the trading for future draft picks.
(33:29):
You get guys call up, they get all horny, they're like,
oh my god, we got future draftings.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
This is so exciting, Oh my god, is so good.
And oftentimes they turn out to be terrible or average.
Speaker 10 (33:41):
I'm not getting excited about it. They could lose without
these they lose with them, and they could lose without
these guys. I'm not saying it's anything great these trades.
I'm just telling you these players are not as good
and they're not worth first round picks. Well, you know
that it's a crap shot the first round when you drafted.
Jets a horrible at drafting in the first round. They
passed up on bows last year.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
But I did the mask, Steve, Steve, I did the math,
and we gotta move sixteen.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
I gotta let you go.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
But sixteen percent success rate, one sixty batting average, chances
of drafting, and player last twenty years in the first
round who becomes an All Pro? And the Jets did
that with both both the guys they drafted, so they
defied the odds and then traded both of them. So
now they have to go back and they have a
one to sixty batting average.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
So good luck. We're gonna have ask Ben.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
Your questions are answers Ask Ben for the rest of
the hour, hashtag ask Ben.
Speaker 1 (34:39):

T shirts and those gift shops in Portland, Maine, they
say lapstock. All right, what's next? What do we have here?
Speaker 4 (36:31):
Ferd Dog would like to know, Hi, Fergie, what do

your ass making direct content contact with the latrine.
Speaker 2 (38:03):

I had to go to a party a couple of
weeks ago with There's a Cowboy.
Speaker 8 (39:00):

Boom, Shaka laka.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our number three. Our number three is ready to go.
And Vikings quarterback J. J. McCarthy having an alter ego
named nine is blank. All right, we'll fill in the
blank on that the Viking quarterback as an imaginary friend. Also,
(00:23):
what would happen in baseball if the Dodgers had now
former Mets closer Edwin Diaz, who's a free agent this offseason.
There's some chatter early on the Dodgers are going to
go after Edwin Diaz to fix their bullpen, even though
they just won back to back World Series. And what's
the most puzzling thing about Blues goalie Jordan Bingington trying
(00:46):
to take Alex Ovechkin's nine hundredth career goal.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
It's quite the amusing story.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
It was a goalen opportunity and Bennington went for it
didn't quite work out for him. We've got that, foy
all so ask ben this hour. It's all coming your
way right now.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Buckle up for our number.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Three as it happens right now, we're gonna dazzle you
unless we don't. Let's say show he Otani is a
two way player in baseball, which he is an NFL quarterback.
If you have multiple personalities, that's like having two quarterbacks
for the price of one. Right. Welcome, in the beginning
(01:28):
of another hour of the Ben Mallor Show. We are
in the air everywhere with bull dust as we are
your overnight power booster, like a booster rocket into the
night from the one and only And I let me
tell you something. We are coast to coast, border to border,
(01:48):
and all that and beyond the vast and particularly powerful
microphones of FSR am monating live from the whispers of
wisdom from the world famous Fox Sports Radio Studios, as
approved by Benito, the long suffering cowboy fan who likes
(02:09):
the penny over.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Benny and Queen Roxand and.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
There have been rumors, some rumblings there could be a
future Malard meet and greet in the Mile High City
developing hot dot dot dot. This portion of the Ben

come a little bit later. You can get those questions
in right now hashtag ask Ben and friends. We normally
don't do sporty. We normally don't do sporty, but we'll
answer other questions.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
So if there's something on your mind.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
We can solve all of life's problems in one long
segment of talk radio. So our lead this hour is
from Minneapolis, minas ale to Minnesota and Ice. Minnesota and Ice,
the home of the Juicy Lucy and the myth building
of J. J. McCarthy is underway in the Twin Cities now.
(03:33):
The Vikings were big underdogs against the Lions this past
weekend and McCarthy made a couple of plays late. Didn't
play particularly great, but made enough plays the Vikings won
the game and now everyone's back on board. That's how
this works. So if you have not been following the
red shirt rookie, it's no the way to describe it.
(03:55):
He play as a rookie because he was hurt, so
he's a red shirt rookie quarterback JJ mcca Now he
acknowledged randomly, randomly recently that his new game day persona
has a name.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Nine, nine, a reference to his.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Jersey digit, the number on his jersey. McCarthy, the old
Michigan quarterback, said it is a byproduct of the anger,
the anger built up over time missed because of the
medley of injuries that he has acquired. The one real
skill that McCarthy has shown in the nfls and ability
to get hurt, and he's done.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Really a lot of that work, good work getting hurt.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
So McCarthy says, it taps into his raw anger from
sideline the games and transforms him into this competitive beast
rather than letting all that derail him. So that is
the that is the argument from McCarthy. It's a good
(05:02):
jumping off points. So let's discuss the question Viking's quarterback
JJ McCarthy.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Having an alter ego named nine. That is blank.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
So before I fill in the blank my views on this,
I've got Steve miller Man deep in the woods and
frozen oceans, and we'll combine all of these things together
and we're gonna make the gobbagool. We're gonna make the gobbagole.
And when you have gobbagool, you gotta have a side
on the babaganoosh.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
So we're gonna combine all that together.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Now, first of all, my I'm gonna go with two words.
I said, Well, it's a word game. The way we
set this up. Viking quarterback JJ McCarthy having an alter
ego named nine is blank. My words are General Mills
cuckoo for cocoa puffs. All right, what is it like?
(05:58):
Love on the Spectrum NFL edition here? Now, a lot
of people have imaginary friends when they're kids, and when
you get to a I know he's a young guy,
but he's not a kid anymore.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
JJ McCarthy, Right, he's a young adult. And then it's
one of those weird things in life. There's some things that.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
You're allowed to have when you're a kid, and then
when you get older you can't have it because if
you get older and you have it, they think you're on.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Fentanyl or something or crack or whatever. Right, you know
what's going on. You have an alter ego, you have
a separate personality. What is up with that? Anyway?
Speaker 2 (06:30):
So, yeah, let smoke some crack. So McCarthy's out there.
It's named his Inner Demon, like he's auditioning for some
kind of future Marvel movie or something like that. So
this is the Steve Miller band Space Cowboy. It's like
Space Cowboy stuff. JJ misses some games, gets hurt a lot,
(06:50):
he stares into the mirror and he comes back with
this whole new persona. This whole new persona. Now I
know the way this works. I've seen this kind of
thing in the past. So if JJ McCarthy turns out
to be good for the Minnesota Vikings, like he knows
what he's doing, this becomes the stuff of folklore. This
becomes the stuff of legend, the legend of nine coming
(07:11):
to a TV near you and a docu series.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
For ten dollars a month. Now, if he.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Stinks, if McCarthy blows, then this becomes a punchline, and
the kid's gonna be like what people canna say, Well,
the kid didn't actually go to Michigan. He graduated from
the Wrangling Brothers in Barnum and Bailey Clown College.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
And it's like.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Ladies and gentlemen under Center, the human split personality under
the big top right.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Now, McCarthy's gonna.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Need two camera crews if he's good, One for JJ
and one for Number nine. Welcome to the new NFL,
where quarterbacks don't just have mechanics, they've got alter egos.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
So would you rather have your quarterback?
Speaker 3 (07:56):
Now?
Speaker 2 (07:56):
I guess this is not technically an imaginary friend. It's
an alter ego. So it could be is nine a
friend of McCarthy as anyone asked JJ McCarthy If number
nine is a friend of McCarthy's or an enemy?
Speaker 1 (08:08):
So what a division? That is quite the bit.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
You've got the Chicago quarterback who's got the manny and
the petty covered Caleb Williams. You've got JJ McCarthy who's
got a split personality thing. And then what's going It's
gonna be something about Jordan Love and Jared Goff. We
need to find some dirt about those guys. I'm sure
there's something out there. Now turning the page, we go
to baseball. That's right, talking Bay's ball.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Why would we bring up baseball? The World Series? And
then what is wrong with you? Why would you do that?
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Well, today's a big day if you're a fan of
the transaction, and that is often more fun than the
game itself. Because today the flag is up major League
Baseball free agency is open for business. Yes, just a
few days after the World Seriously Dodgers, of course, fresh
(09:00):
off winning According to Rob Manford, another piece of metal
already said to be big game hunting. Yeah, Dodgers said
to be big game hunting now looking for bullpen depth.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
I wonder why they're looking for bullpen depth. Now?
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Who do you think the Dodgers have been connected to
in free agency which hasn't even really gotten going yet.
Who do you think they've been connected to? Do you
have an idea? Okay, you haven't paid attention? Okay, I
got it, I got it. Well, the biggest name is
not a pitcher. The biggest name, and this guy hasn't
been tied to the Dodgers Kyle Schwarber. He's from the
Philadelphia Phillies. The biggest name that has been connected early.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
On to the Dodgers is Edwin Diaz.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Edwin Diaz, Yes, that same Edwin Diaz who is thirty
one turns thirty two during the next baseball season, and
the same Edwin Diaz.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
That had an earn run average under two with the Mets.
Last year, and.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
He is the top available closer on the auctioning block,
at the very top.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
So the question.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
What would happen if the Dodgers added former Mets closer
Edwin Diaz in free agency. So this would be a
trip to the cabaret, the chaos cabaret. It would be
absolute chaos in the cabaret.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
The Dodgers have the checkbook.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
They just made more money because they won the World Series,
so they pocketed even more money. And they have so
much money it never runs out. Everyone else in baseball,
even the rich teams, are shopping deep in the woods
at the Dollar Tree, and the Dodgers when they go
shopping they go to Rodeo.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Drive, and when they're visiting New York they go.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
To Madison Avenue. This is the new Tiger Woods. In
sports years ago, when I was doing sports radio in
the first part of the two thousands, if you were
having a slow day and it was a major golf tournament,
you say, all right, they got the Masters coming up.
Would you take tiger Woods or the field British Open,
tiger Woods.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Of the field.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
At this point, it's the Dodgers versus the field. We're
at that point in the axis of baseball. They've become
that team. They've become the team that everyone either loves
to watch because you like greatness, or you want to
watch to see them lose. And the argument which has
(11:29):
been made many times that you do not want dynasty.
So many people I'm not saying you, because I don't
know you, but so many people I come across they
live on Mount Terody and they want everything to be equal.
They want to kind of like the people of New York.
They want socialism, right, they want that in sports. And
(11:50):
so we've seen it with the Dodgers. They've record raced
most people watching game a World Series game in like
thirty something years, going back to the nineties. And you
had a team in Canada versus the Dodgers, as supposedly
everyone hates and is tuned out, And why did people watch,
(12:10):
Because again, you either want to see greatness, you want
to see this thing continue with the Dodgers, or you're
a hater and you want some shodenfreud and you want to.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
See the thing just implode. You want to see it
go off the road into a ditch. And that's it.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
The moment that this rumor becomes reality it's not reality.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
I want to be very clear, it's just a rumor.
Who knows. Edwin Diaz could resign with the Mets today
for all we know.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
But should he go to the Dodgers in the multiverse,
the rest of baseball will immediately freak out. There'll be
a primal scream. Oh no, here come the Dodgers again.
They did the same song and dance last winter. I'm
barely old enough to remember. You might recall the Dodgers
(12:56):
signed this dominating relief pitcher by the name of Tanner Scott.
They gave him seventy two million dollars over four years,
and people screamed, you're ruining my sport of baseball.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Why would you do that. They were so upset, they
were so sad, they were depressed.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Oh my, I can never watch baseball again because Tanner
Scott is a Dodger. Well, Tanner Scott was a Dodger
seventy two million dollars and it was a boon doggle.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Tanner Scott turned in to a pumpkin. He turned into
a pumpkin.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Had an era of close to five, set the Dodger
franchise record for blown saves. He did that Tanner Scott
did that most blown saves all time as a Dodger.
Tanner Scott very expensive, very expensive, and he appeared in
as many playoff games as a Dodger as.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
You and I did.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Combined, we had as many playoff appearance as Tanner Scott.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Now, this would be different, right, Edwin Diaz. Supposedly it's
gonna be different. You never know how players are going
to adapt to new environments and the pressure of big games.
There's not that many big games Edwin Diaz has been in.
So if you drop and close closer with an era
of under two into a pitching staff that already has
(14:24):
Yamamoto and Glass now and bro I'm risking my life
braw Blake Snell and sho Hey Otani, that's the whole mcgilla.
If you add another closer queue up the Ray Charles,
Here we go again, Right, Here we go again song
from Ray Charles.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
And you know what'll happen, right because we saw it
last year.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
It'll just get even louder this year. Every fan base
that doesn't spend money will lose their mind. They'll cry about.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Their disparity and they'll say that there must be change, and.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Meanwhile the Dodgers just keep doing laps around the league.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
And it's not evil.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
It's efficiency with the side of unlimited credit. And it's
working around the People's Republic of California taxation where you
pay all these guys big money so they can go
live in Florida or wherever and they don't have to
pay California taxes. That's the great work around. Like if
they closed the tax loophole, that would end the Dodgers.
Like if the Dodgers actually had to pay the players
and they got taxed at California rates.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Most of these guys would not sign with the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
But if the Dodgers land Edwin Diaz, it's another punch
to the gut, our.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Body blow, body blow, body blow to.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
The rest of baseball, and a reminder that while everyone
else is playing Parcheesi, the Dodgers are playing Monopoly, and
they've got all the hotels on every property.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
And they're good to go, all right.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Final thought, the rare and appropriate hockey reference.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
We'd like to alert all the affiliates the rare and
appropriate hockey reference on the Overnight Show somewhere Eddie Garcia
is turning over in bed smiling.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
So yep, the big Zamboni. Calm down, Eddie. So Alex Ovechkin,
I'm told that's a hockey player, and a good one.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
He scored his nine hundredth career NHL goal last night.
Capitals beat up the Blues six to one. I'm told
that's a big deal. Ovechkin is the only member of
the nine hundred goal club. Okay, good for him. And
he scored the goal with two thirty nine or two
thirty nine into the second period of that game. Caught
(16:30):
a rebound off the boards, backhanded it past the goaltender.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Jordan Bennington, and so there you go, forty year old,
only player and the nine hundred gold club to reach
that milestone.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
The bench came out to celebrate, to commemorate the achievement. Now,
we love round numbers. No one had ever scored eight
hundred and ninety nine goals before. We just love round numbers.
Nobody gets excited about eight ninety nine goals, but nine
hundred just hits different. It just hits different. It's genetics.
It goes back to learning numbers and round numbers. You
(17:04):
have if you're unless you've lost a toe or finger
along the way, you're normally given ten toes and ten
fingers unless something went wrong somewhere along the way.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
And so that's how that that works. Now.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
The reason I'm bringing this up that to me, that's
not really great talk radio. What are you gonna say?
Alexo Vetchin's scored a lot of goals. He scored another goal.
Good for him. The story here is Blues goalie Jordan Bennington,
who decided after he allowed the nine out of the goal,
he wanted to get a souvenir and he did some
(17:36):
tricker ration. We actually have the audio on this, so
let's go to the audio tape. As the Saint Louis
Blues goaltender attempted to do the thing you shouldn't do
at the time, you shouldn't do it.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Take a listen. He done something for the goal he scored.
He's got the putt. That's what he does with the pucket.
He's gonna keep it in his pants. I don't know
if he.
Speaker 5 (17:57):
Wants to sell it on the open, but they're not.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Gonna get that puck from Bennington.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
But that is until Wiman Michelle Cormier came over and said, hey.
Speaker 6 (18:10):
Joe, catch it that there's cameras everywhere, guys. To us,
his eBay account would have been popping off after this
game that he pulled that heist off.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Yeah, so Jordan Bennington, it's more of a visual thing
than an every him.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
But he tried to hide this historic puck in his
badunka dunk yeah yeah, And the referee.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Had to come over there, the linesman had to come
over say hey, hey, dumb, dumb, we need the puck back.
All right.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Question, what is the most puzzling thing about the Saint
Louis Blues goalie Jordan Bennington trying to take Alex Ovechkin's
nine hundredth career goal puck with him?
Speaker 1 (18:48):
So the obvious is like, what are you thinking?
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Like the fact that he thought he could actually get
away with that is fascinating. Like this was frozen Ocean's
eleven all on ice, thousands of cameras, not just the
TV cameras, thousands of eyewitnesses all trying to go viral
on social media, recording every moment there. And we've seen
(19:12):
in sports over the last ten years or so, it's
gotten progressively worse. I remember when Lebron James broke the
NBA scoring record, and there's this iconic photo of Lebron
from behind the basket the other basket, and you see
Lebron make the shot, and you see seventeen thousand people
looking like Lady Liberty with their arm extended trying to
(19:35):
get the shot. This is what you see here on
the If you're watching on the YouTube, you can like that.
So you do the called the Statue of Liberty, where
you have your hand in the air. And so this
guy thought, Okay, everyone's recording this. I'm going to get
away with this. I'm out here running a hockey heist movie.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
I guess he.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Assumed everyone was focused on Alex Ovechkin, so no one
would be looking at him.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
It's possible that was the case. Now there is a
theory I want to run this value.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
There's a theory that he actually did steal Ovechkin's puck.
Is it true that Saint Louis Blues goaltender Jordan Bennington
pulled what's known as the dummy Puck operation? The dummy
Puck operation, I bring this up. We just saw in
the World series a father's son duo in Toronto caught
(20:26):
the two iconic home runs late in the game for
the Dodgers, the Miguel Rojas home run that tied it
in the ninth and the Will Smith home run in
the eleventh that won it. Father son combo, Now the dad.
I believe it was caught the Miguel Rojas home run,
and it looked like on TV he threw the ball
back on the field.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
The crowd went wild.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Well, now it is believed, and I think this has
been verified from what I read, that he had a
second ball and he tossed the dummy ball back. The
guys at Wrigley Field are really good about that. The
cub fans and Tree in Chicago backed me up on this,
and Yafimi and Faz and all those guys because they
have like they bring extra balls with him. It's like
bringing sand to the beach just in case they get
(21:06):
an iconic ball. Then they tossed the dummy ball back.
So it's conspiracy, deep state.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Whatever.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Wouldn't shock me. It would not, and I watched the
replay a bunch times. Would not shock me. If Bennington
had a backup decoy puck stuff deep in his tushy
right between the cheeks, right there, and he had that,
which likely explains why he played so terribly for the
Saint Louis Blues in this game. Bennington, by the way,
he has made a lot of money thirty six million
(21:34):
dollars in hockey.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
That's a lot of money. In the other sports not
so much.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
And he probably figured like, Hey, the holidays are coming up,
I'm gonna get this authenticated, this puck and be a
nice little holiday bonus, because you know, Ovechkin not that
popular in the States, but in Russia, in Mother Russia,
he's like, all the oligarchs there in Russia would have
paid half a million rubles for that piece of rubber.
(22:00):
It's just a hunk of rubbert, is all the commissioner
would say. Instead, it turns out that Jordan Bennington is
left singing the blues. And it reminded me also, you
got to be kind of old now to remember this,
which shocks me that you have to be old, because
I remember being on the radio after this happened and we.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Were talking about it and it was like wow, and it's.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Been over twenty years. But the Boston Red Sox used
to be cursed. They had this thing called the Curse
of the ban Bino and I know Alf knows where
I'm going right now. And I believe also Danny DeVito
does as well, the trash man Danny and Vito.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
So the Red Sox finally won the World Series. I
believe it was against the Cardinals and this guy.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
Named dougman Kavich. At the time, he was a blatoon
first baseman with big Poppy. So dougman Kavich got the ball.
Remember this, he was the Red Sox first baseman. He
caught the final out of the four World Series to
end the Curse of the Banbino, and he wouldn't give
the ball back. He said, that's my ball. I'm not
giving the ball back. That's my ball. The only difference
(22:57):
here is Byington is not even obviously on the team
that had the accomplishment, the Washington Capitals, And that's what
makes this even more ridiculous. At leastman Kaevich was on
the Red Sox. This guy's out there trying to boost
Ovechkin's milestone souvenirs, trying to grab it and put in
his pocket and run away and make some money and
(23:17):
boost his financials there, like he's some kind of hockey
cat burglar or something like that it's it's like a
porch pirate, but in this case he's a goaltending pirate.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
So I thought that was a fun story.
Speaker 7 (23:32):
It is the.

(27:22):
Lorraine again the question the riddle of the day. Former
NFL player Matt Khalil's ex wife went public. Blamed the
demise of their marriage on blank.
Speaker 8 (27:31):
She blamed it on the booget.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
She blamed it, Doug the correct the answer, Lorena. She
blamed it on the size of his manhood. About that, yeah, apparently, Yeah. Yeah,
And it wasn't that it was too small, Lorrana. Yeah,
she went the other direction. She said that there was
a size issue there that was a problem.
Speaker 8 (27:56):
I was just talking about this the other day.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
You really, you were it's thing that would that would
come up.
Speaker 9 (28:01):
Yes, it is interesting, but you know, sizes really do differ.
And but you think that you'd figure that out kind
of early on in the relationship if it works for
you or not.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
Yeah, you would think that they did not wait to
consummate the relationship until the night.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
They got married, but who knows. You never know, you
never know. She's I guess.
Speaker 8 (28:20):
An influence very big though. Wow.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Well either that or she's just making because it's possible
that she just made that up because she was a
social media influencer.
Speaker 8 (28:31):
And you know, exaggeration it is good for the story.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
Embellishment, right, you know embellishment in there. It is the
Ben Mallers shows sick and calls all what.
Speaker 8 (28:40):
The biggest circumference has been recorded?
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Uh no, for somehow I've not I've not done that.
I don't know why.
Speaker 8 (28:49):
I looked it up and it says that it has not.
Speaker 9 (28:53):
It is what it hasn't been recorded, like there's been
rumors of like and I'm like, how do you guys
not measure that?
Speaker 8 (28:59):
Like you guys?
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Well, I remember when I when I well, when I
first got into uh into La media, la radio, there
was a guy named Milton Burle or whatever, the actor
the early and that.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Was like the legendary you know, that was like the supposedly.
Speaker 8 (29:16):
The biggest of the baddest.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
Yeah, Milton Burrell, that's his name. But I don't, I don't,
I never you know, he was before my time. He
died when I was just started my career, so I
never met him.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
Now let's go to Steve in Manhattan. I know Steve's excited.
Hello Steve, Welcome Steve O and the Big Apple.
Speaker 10 (29:36):
Uncle Milty Ben distinguished panel, expanding audience. Welcome, ty Haw.
I'm gonna do something that's ever been done on this show.
I want to make a request for a song. I
want hot and soul, but I want to be sung
by b Wayne singing from the nineteen thirties Beautiful. I
never knew the song hought and soul had words to it.
(29:58):
I thought it was a piano which for metal. But
she's great and you're gonna love it all right. Baseball's
famous Baseball seven fifty five. Aaron, the grounds keeper, picks
the ball up right. He wants to give it back
to Aaron. He can't get access to him. They don't
even care. He leaveses the ball, They fire, and they
charge it. Twenty years later, doing the hot shots of
(30:19):
the nineties, he sells it for six hundred and twenty
five thousand. He even got Aaron to sign the ball
during one of those Baseball things autographed signings, and Aaron
didn't know he had the baseball in his hand when
he signed it. Also, let's forget the Coveys winning the
World Series. Brian to Rizzo. Rizzo coming off the base,
what does he do? He pockets to baseball. See the
(30:40):
way he slips it into his back pocket. I mean,
this goes on forever in sports, right Jesus three thousand
hit was the first time it was a home run
and the guy could have sold the ball for over
a million bucks. He shuttles for a suite for the
rest of the season. Come on, man, let's let's get
on top of that stuff.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
You know.
Speaker 10 (30:59):
But the Jets, I don't know if the Colt fans
actually watch any Jet games. But so's guard that can't tackle,
and what is a defensive back? Let's be honest, what
is the quantity as a guy who tried out in
high school for wide receiver and he couldn't catch, so
they made him a defensive back. The guy also can't tack,
so you get they did get The Jets got away
(31:21):
with one here with two first pick round picks. You
watched some of those highlights. The guy's playing Patty kick.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
Back there and so Steve, so Steve. They didn't First
of all, they didn't get away with one. He was
on the All Pro team for two years, not just
like the Pro Bowl. He was on the All Pro.
Is he perfect, Saust Gardener? No, he's not perfect. He's
not perfect at all. But the chances of the Jets
drafting a player with any of those draft picks that's
a two time All Pro within the first few years
(31:47):
of his career is almost zero. So you gave up
something for a lesser player.
Speaker 10 (31:55):
Gardiner lived, Well, I'll reply, well, no, I.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
Mean that's the point. You you think that you're excited
about how many times do the Jets.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Have to do this before you realize what a scam
it is. I don't understand. I don't get it.
Speaker 10 (32:09):
The Jets always do it the Jets.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
I know.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
That's my point, Steve, And they sucked for a generation
or more than that.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
They've sucked. So what point do you say, well, maybe
this isn't the way to go.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
How about we had a defense that had some talent
and you don't need to have a great offense. If
you have a pretty good defense, you can just have
an average offense and you can be a playoff team.
Speaker 10 (32:34):
Well, you would, your offense would keep the defense off
the field. But it's what's got in that lived off
his first year. He did have a good first year,
and then his second year wasn't that good, and he's
not playing that good this year, and you cold fans
just well, first of all, I'm a Giant fan. I'm
not a Jet fan, okay, but the Jets they made
it on this deal. Same thing with the Williams trade
(32:56):
to do well.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
No, again, I disagree with your hypothesis.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
You have no idea what they're gonna get.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
They got a chance to draft someone else, but you
have no idea where those guys are gonna play or not.
So there's no way to say that they won the
trade until you know who they're actually gonna get, And
you won't know that for three years, and by then
you won't care because you'll move on to something else.
This is why this is the greatest single scam in
the industrial complex of sports, the trading for future draft picks.
(33:29):
You get guys call up, they get all horny, they're like,
oh my god, we got future draftings.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
This is so exciting, Oh my god, is so good.
And oftentimes they turn out to be terrible or average.
Speaker 10 (33:41):
I'm not getting excited about it. They could lose without
these they lose with them, and they could lose without
these guys. I'm not saying it's anything great these trades.
I'm just telling you these players are not as good
and they're not worth first round picks. Well, you know
that it's a crap shot the first round when you drafted.
Jets a horrible at drafting in the first round. They
passed up on bows last year.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
But I did the mask, Steve, Steve, I did the math,
and we gotta move sixteen.

But sixteen percent success rate, one sixty batting average, chances
of drafting, and player last twenty years in the first
round who becomes an All Pro? And the Jets did
that with both both the guys they drafted, so they
defied the odds and then traded both of them. So
now they have to go back and they have a
one to sixty batting average.
