Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our number four, our four original recipe,
Ben Malsh, Well, happy Thursday too. It's the tenth day
of October. Halloween will be here in three weeks. And
Aaron Rodgers dressed up like a quarterback blasting phantom Media
(00:20):
reports that he was responsible for the firing of coach
Robert Salah. What does that signal to you? Also, Jason
Kelsey believes kickers are two good nowadays and the NFL
needs to narrow the goalpost. Do you agree or disagree?
And who you got in this dust up between the
Saints strub wide receiver and motown. We'll talk about that
(00:43):
and more right now here. It is our number four.
Have a wonderful Thursday. Spin Spin, Spin, Spins Spin. Wel come,
in the beginning of another hour of the Ben mal Show.
We are in the air everywhere as we test the
(01:05):
waters and we give you a sports talk the way
it should be Coast to coast, border, the border and beyond.
On the vast and grandiosely powerful microphones of FSR. Am
monnating live from the chair in the Big Chairs, Mark Patrick,
or old Morning Guys said back in the day, we're
(01:26):
broadcasting live from the tyrack dot Com studios. Tyrack dot
com will help you get there and unmatched selection, vast
free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand
recommended installers. Tire rack dot com the way tire buying
should be. I know Kathy and Madison approves that message.
(01:47):
So the baseball is big story. We talked about that
over the last couple hours here. We'll get back to
that later. The Dodgers are staying alive, stand alive, beat
the podres eight nothing and now they'll try to knock
San Diego out and the peacock Fernando Tatist their back
at Dodger Stadium on Friday Yankees or went away Tigers
and went away. The Mets have advanced. So that's the
(02:08):
baseball story. But our lead this hour from Gotham, or
just adjacent to Gotham, the fallout from the foreseeable removal
of Robert Salah, the motivational speaker masquerading as Jets coach.
So we're watching now. This is the part of the
story that the dust is now settling. Aaron Rogers has
(02:35):
given a state of the Union address, if you will,
about the coaching change. How have you saw this or
not I'd have heard about it. Maybe maybe he did,
maybe not. Aaron Rodgers full throatedly said that he had
nothing nothing to do with Robert Salah's removal as coach
(02:55):
of the Jets. He's just a harmless bystander using the
time testing clash. It's a tough business. Rogers waxed poetic
about these ridiculous allegations that he's somehow meddled with the Jets. Now,
Aaron Rodgers said that he resents any any of these
(03:16):
accusations because they're patently false, is what he's said. He says, interesting,
the amount of power that people think that I have,
which I don't. Rogers said, all right, so let us
discuss the question. Aaron Rodgers saying that the noise that's
out there, and I'm one of the ones with the
(03:38):
megaphone continuing to give you the noise. But Roger's saying
that listen, people saying I played a role in removing
Robert salas coach of the Jets. It's a ridiculous allegation.
How do you interpret the meaning of all this? So
I've got bargain shopping time out and Noah all and
(04:03):
we'll put all of these things together and we are
going to have a wind speed of about I don't know,
ten miles an hour. All right, So to kick off
here Aaron Rodgers, yet again was the T word triggered?
He was triggered by the reporting. It clearly touched a nerve.
(04:23):
Now why would he be upset by this unless there
was truth in the reporting? Right? Could it be that
these stories hit too close to home for Aaron Rodgers?
That Rogers, Now, he doesn't own the Jets, we know that. However,
he is the puppeteer for the Jets. He's the puppeteer. Now,
he's the one pulling the string on the marionettes and whatnot?
(04:45):
Here the old fashioned don't ask me, I just work here. Yeah, okay,
that's the ticket, right, Plausible deniability, PD, plausible deniability, it's
what everyone wants. So what we do know, oh, is
that the j e Ts suck, suck, suck. The Jets
were bargain shopping, right, They were bargain shopping, and they
(05:08):
made a Faustian bargain is what they did.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Right.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Woody Johnson was willing to sacrifice just about anything the
owner of the Jets there to satisfy his limitless desire
for the Jets actually to matter. But if you don't
think that Aaron Rodgers was the one behind this, you're
obviously gullible. And number two, how do you explain? How
(05:33):
do you explain that Nathaniel Hackett the just comply I
want to say something bad that would get me in trouble.
They call m a clown. The clown offensive coordinator still
has a job. Explain that all these ex packers who
the Jets brought in because of Aaron Rodgers, but Aaron
(05:54):
Rodgers is not the GM by proxy, He's not the
one influencing those moves. Come on, all right, Furthermore, we
turn the page. Now we head to the former player
turned gas bag full time category. That is where Jason Kelsey,
one of the traveling Kelsey brothers, wants you to know
(06:14):
that he has an idea. He believes that the idiot
kickers in the NFL are just too good. Now, the
kickers are too good in the NFL, and he says
the NFL needs to narrow narrow the goalposts. Do you
agree or disagree that kicking is at the next level
(06:35):
and we just need to take the kicker down a
couple of notches. So I'm gonna go thumbs down on this.
I do not agree with the hypothesis of Jason Kelcey.
It is unnecessary. Now let me point out I'm going
thumbs down here. Jason Kelsey should be going to what
I call take time out, take time out into attention.
(06:59):
It is not that I enjoy the fifty five yard
field goal. I don't. I don't know many people that
like the fifty five yard field goal. You get a
touch back, start at the thirty yard line, and then
get a couple of first downs and already you're in
field goal range. That's not exciting, that's not good. But again,
it's like unnecessary because banning I put it in the
(07:20):
same bag is like banning the shift in baseball, and
it didn't need to happen. It did, but it didn't
need to happen. There are ways around it, right, there's
ways around the shift in baseball, but there's ways around
this as well. Matriculate the ball down the field and
score a touchdown and don't get the fourth down, and
(07:42):
then you don't have to worry about that. And kickers
only have more influence now because offenses have slowed down. Now,
the defenses are great. All of a sudden but I
don't think that's the case. But they have new defensive
systems that have taken away a lot of the big players.
Not as many pass plays now as there have been
(08:02):
in the past, so it's an issue. But you don't
change everything fundamentally because you've got the EBB and flow,
the up and down, and right now the kickers are
doing pretty well, but not everybody has a good kicker.
Plenty of teams that do not, and it balances out. Now,
last thing, I'm let me go off the reservation here
a little bit. We go to the great state of
Michigan and while on a recent podcast he hosts with
(08:26):
his brother, the much more famous Lions wide receiver, I'm
on Ross Saint Brown, a member of the Saints practice squad,
a journeyman NFL receiver wide receiver Equinymous Brown, Saint Brown,
the other we'll call them EQ. EQ is the nickname.
But he went on his podcast there and said that
(08:49):
the following about the Motor City, EQ said, Detroit. No
one's going there, I promise you. I think a lot
of people outside of Detroit would agree with me, he said,
if they could choose to live anywhere in the world
or the country, they would not choose Detroit. Now I
wouldn't have known about this, but the official social media
(09:11):
account for the city of Detroit replied to aman Ross
Saint Brown's brother, citing the bumpity bump in population and
comparing e Q, the brother of aman Ross Saint Brown,
unfavorably to his much more successful fellow NFL player. So
(09:33):
who you got, who you got in this dust up
between the Saints scrub aman Ross Saint Brown's brother and
the city of Motown. So I am going to side
with the Motor City on this one. I'm gonna side
with the Motor City. It is a city on the
comeback trail. Twenty years ago, it was really nasty. It's
(09:58):
slowly improving. There was a period years ago you could
buy a whole city block in Detroit for a couple
thousand bucks. Like I'm talking homes. It's not at that
level right now. And part of the problem is I
actually liked some of the normalcy in a lot of
the Midwestern cities. I haven't spent a lot of time
(10:19):
in Detroit, so I've been to the airport many times.
That's a Delta hub, but I haven't spent a lot
of time in Detroit proper. My brother, my other brother,
was there. He's been there a couple of times. He
loves it. He's like, hey, you gotta go check out Detroit, man,
It's awesome. So I haven't spent too much time there,
But in general, I've been to a lot of Midwestern
cities for work or just to hang out with family
that lives there and whatnot and friends. And I always
(10:42):
loved Chicago. I had a great time in Minneapolis. People
very nice there. Indianapolis was awesome. I even liked Milwaukee.
Don't tell anybody Green Bay. I don't know about that.
But you know, again, all four seasons. You don't get that.
Where I live out here in LA it's a lot cheaper,
and it seems like a lot of those places still
(11:03):
have some soul to them. Some of these other big cities,
San Francisco, La, whatever, they lost a lot of soul,
you know. But eq I would put this commentary on
his podcast in the Noah All category. Now, what is
the Noah All category? You asked that would be a
classic from Joe Kim. Noah's long lost NBA player was
(11:27):
playing for the Chicago Bulls and they had the matchup
with the Cavaliers, and he said, I mean, I never
heard anyone say I'm going to Cleveland on vacation. What's
so good about Cleveland? So there's that. The other problem here,
which is rather obvious, This is on a podcast, and
I'm on Ross Saint Brown's Brother EQ sat Brown, cloud chasing,
(11:50):
cloud chasing, user engagement, climbing, climbing, the big click click castle,
if you will, trying to get that that number up
on the podcast and all that. Now, I never have
to resort to that level on the fifth hour podcast
that I do because we get plenty of downloads, so
I never have to do engagement, farming or any of that.
(12:10):

Speaker 1 (13:07):
Latest hour. Have fucked the World with Eddie. Take your
calls up until then. A busy time of the year
and the people have a lot to say, much to
say unless they do not. Alf the alien opinter says,
we are we to believe that Aaron Rodgers has the
power to snap his fingers and make things happen over
(13:29):
a dinner with Woodie Johnson. PS. You don't need to
lecture me about tires. I bought my tire Rack tires
earlier this year, that says Alf me alien Opinter. So
I know Alf does a lot of driving around around
Springfield and all over the place there, so he's all
over the road using those tires. Very nicely. All right,
(13:51):
it is the Yes, it is the Ben Maler Show.
Let's go with the phones. Jackass, Josh is in La
La Land literally and figuratively. Hello Jackass. Josh. Hmm, sounds
like JACKI asked, Josh has passed out. No, Jack, you
AS's what a jackiass will do. Let's say hello to
legally blind Christopher who's in the Carolinas but his heart
(14:14):
is in Michigan. Hello Christopher, Welcome, mister.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
Malor, thank you so much for taking my column, putting
me on drive time.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
I'm really impressed Morning Drive. Yeah, big ratings, massive ratings,
this is true.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
But this could only grow as we continue to fight
the Mala militia. Now Michigan being attacked, mister Malan, I
wanted to talk on baseball, but boy, this sorry, just
really amazes me how much they want to attack Michigan.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Well you did, You did leave Michigan, even though you
love Michigan. You did leave the I'm going back. Yeah
you are you a seasonal Carolina resident?
Speaker 4 (14:50):
Well no, it's weir. Housing has gotten so expensive here.
I could get three times the house from Michigan for
what I pay here, and much better our healthcare.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
There you go. Look at that, You're going to move
back to your old stopping rounds.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
Damn out. Two years from retirement. I got to do something.
But mister Maller, let me ask you this riddle. So
we have to deal with motown kiddies, audio description and
the rapid radio phone system. What do they all have
in common?
Speaker 1 (15:25):
I give up? I don't know what.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
Well, this is the only way I can try and
keep up with what's going on with Tiger Baseball because
they change the pictures so many darn times. But I
can't even get an idea who's on the mound, let
alone be able to enjoy the game. But I'm dependent
on my wrapid radio system be able to ask our
cheating manager what the heck is going on? Because Game
(15:48):
four today, what I'm going to be stuck with is
the worst of our worst bullpen pictures. To make another
joke of the major baseball scene and what it looks like.
I can't even enjoy the game, let alone figure out
who's on the mound.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Well, there were thirteen pitchers in that Cleveland Detroit game
between both teams. Thirteen. That seems a little excessible, but
it works. It works well did it work for the Guardians?
Did it work? I guess Cobb was not really a star,
not an opener. He was supposed to pitch better. But
it's Alex Cobb, Like, what do you expect. The guy's
a journeyman, big league pitcher.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
Just disgust me that. I mean, we have one starter,
maybe two if we have to.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
But where is Where is Jack Morris gone when you
need him?
Speaker 4 (16:39):
I tell you, Dan Petree, Jack Morris, give me some
of the.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Old you'd even take Frank Tanana. You'd put him out there.
I would at the end of his Yeah, I.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
Got I really appreciate your lying. Thank you, well, thank
you so much.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
All right, go away. There's a legally blind Christopher with
the Michigan Minute, and we'll say hello to Jed who fled?
Who is next? Hello, Jed.
Speaker 5 (17:05):
On news man, I'm so good. Like the reason it's
good to live in the Pantangels Florida is because you
want to be a crime. You want to be a
criminal like our players are on our team Sentinels in
the capital, Florida one, because that's where the resources are
going to be maximized. When hurricanes roll through. Nobody carries
out South Florida anywhere you can walk, and you see
(17:27):
there's just above fifty percent that your conversations are going
to be not in English, and you're not going to
overhear English, then you're not in America anymore. And so
they don't as accurate as any drop as it's ever
been played.
Speaker 6 (17:42):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (17:43):
I didn't have to be racist. He did it for me.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
That's perfect race and racist.
Speaker 5 (17:49):
They had an echo to it. You know you got
an echo. I don't know. I was just asking, like
I figured, you play another drop of the neto what
you want to do though it makes you You donate
your funding to mercury. We want charity. The mercury want charity.
That's Glenn Bak's charity. One hundred percent of every dollar
goes to the to the you know charity people in
(18:09):
South Florida. No overhead, just like Ben Allen would do.
No over you're gonna take any money.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
You do have to research your charity because a lot
of them are scams. A lot of the money doesn't
go to anybody.
Speaker 5 (18:21):
Every think like everybody like Glenn bag By, he's a devil.
And then no turn on that you two cd N
bonus taking sixty percent out of their charity money. And
number one, that's a song that's about how much his
charity of money gets to the people that need it.
So what do you think about what do.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
You think about the hurricane mills and they say Category
one heading to Jacksonville, it's over Jacksonville like it.
Speaker 5 (18:47):
I have no reasoning to be, you know, no reason.
I'm not even watched the weather channels that comes through.
I have no sympathy for this people. I mean, you know,
the Florida's I'll dealing with the same stuff. But I
think it doesn't feel like it's that bad. From up here,
there's like a braided this fantastic.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Day, like a beautiful day in the neighborhood.
Speaker 5 (19:04):
Yes, I actually front coming through here is what pushed
it back to South Florida, so they get some of that.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
He didn't go to South Florida. It's it's it went
through Tampa, it's going through Central Floor, I guess, and
now it's going past Jacksonville. Anyway, thank you, Yes, all right,
appreciate that Jed living up to all these stereotypes is
only Jed can do. Yeah, exactly, all right? Is the
(19:31):
Ben Mallard Show we'll have fucked the world here coming
up in a couple of minutes. But Bill Belichick has
commented on the status of the ben Gals. Not the Bengals,
the Jets, rather the Jets firing their coach. Belichick was
asked about Robert Sala's firing. There's been people that say
that he is interested in the job. Other say he
hates the Jets, will never take the job. But he
(19:53):
used the P word Belichick to describe the firing by
the Jets of Robert Sala. He said the decision was puzzling.
So it was not puzzling. The only puzzling thing about
that was that they kept Nathaniel Hackett. That's puzzling. If
(20:14):
the Jets had gotten rid of Nathaniel Hackett and Robert
Salad us said, okay, it's a good day for the Jets,
and you would have downplayed Aaron Rodgers having anything to
do with it. The fact that there were reports that
Nathaniel Hackett was going to be demoted as the offensive
coordinator and then Robert Salah gets the guillotine and Nathaniel
(20:37):
Hackett remains there. That is a dead new what that
is a dead new way of some funny business. Also,
I wanted to mention I don't think we ever paid
this off earlier. The outrage machine was cranked up because
during the game it was on TBS. TBS between the
Royals and Yankees. There was a very long conversation with
(21:01):
George Brett, mister Kansas City Royal, George Brett with a
winking a nod to Steve Bye by Balboni, but a
George Brett interview that went an entire half inning during
Game three of the Alds and people upset, but of
course they're Yankee fans upset. But he talked about the
(21:22):
glory days of his career year and the rivalry with
the Yankees and the matchup, talked about an upper deck
home run against a Cus Gossage in the Alcs, and
went through the whole thing with John Paul Morosi, who
famously reported that Shoeo Tani's plane was on its way
(21:42):
to Toronto, only to find out Otani wasn't on the plane.
But it was a good story. It was a good
story for about a day. It was a nice story.
We enjoyed the story. We thought it was it was fun. Yes,
also saw bouncing around a little bit. The deep ben gals.
We mentioned the them in the earlier monologue. Defensive back
(22:05):
Mike Hilton said that the defense is playing like I'll
clean this up, manure. So they held the players. They
held a players only meeting. Now, I'm not going to
do my time tested rant about what a waste players
only meetings are and they're pointless and you don't need them,
and they're all for the cameras and the microphones and
(22:30):
nothing ever gets accomplished from a player only meeting. Just
like at your job or my job, staff meetings are
a waste of everyone's time. Everyone's just trying to get
them over with. It's no different in the locker room.
It's always some hard oh that gets up there and speaks,
and then the rest of the team's like, well, I
gets over with and I got things to do. I
(22:51):
don't want to sit here and listen to this this
JABEBRONI talk. So that's how those things go, generally speaking,
that's how those things go. I also love that the NFL.
You say the NFL is investigating. I love the the
NFL is investigating the iblack message that George Pickens wrote
(23:12):
for the Steeler Cowboy game. What exactly is there to
investigate he wrote a bad word on I mean it's
right there the photos right, what is it? Do you
think that was like AI or somebody photoshopped it? I
mean there's in multiple photos all over the internet the
same verbiage on the iblack of George Pickens. But they're investigating,
(23:34):
bringing the Keystone Cops to investigate.

Yeah, what's the most the most popular sport in Melbourne?
Speaker 6 (24:56):
IL Australian rules of football, not rugby, a mistake. Rugby
is a thug. Sports is the national game of Australia,
and it is. And all your mates in Perth will
tell you that as all they go for to Western Australia.
(25:16):
West Australia is like a different country out here in Australia.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
So yeah, we dominant.
Speaker 6 (25:21):
By the way.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
At what point out this show does very well in
Western Australia. The rest of Australia hates US, but in
Western Australia we do very well.
Speaker 6 (25:29):
Yeah, yeah, Well, I wouldn't say that. But anyway, you
know there's strange a lot out there in Western Australia.
So anyway, Bennie, I've got a new segment that you
need to do. I can't get Benny versus a penny
at It's very difficult to get. So I don't know
whether you do this already. We need Bennie's best bit

Speaker 1 (25:54):
All right.
Speaker 6 (25:56):
I'm a big NFL fan. I'm obviously I was obviously
born in America, in California, Northern California. Uh, anyway, I'm
a big But having said that, I'm a Sattle Seahawks. Anyway,
I reckon the best bits for the weekend. I want
you to give you a best pitch for the weekend.
And a difficult weekend, but I think the Seahawks are
(26:19):
getting three and a half. That's the line on my
betting agencies are betting.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Are you going to bet on the Seahawks of the
forty nine ers though? Oh no, Seahawks absolutely, yeah no, no,
that's the wrong side. I got. I got the I
got the Niners there, come on. I don't normally like favorites,
but I got the Niners.
Speaker 4 (26:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (26:40):
Uh, And I've got another one for you, and I
want you to have a look. And I know it's
only pre season NBA, but there's a guy over there,
Jack McVeigh. He played for the Rockets. Yeah today anyway,
he made a play in the last seconds that sent
the game.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
You want me to look up an exhibition basketball game?
How dare you? Shane? How dare you?
Speaker 6 (27:04):
All? Right? Now?
Speaker 1 (27:04):
If he does something, I may deal with you. If
he does something during a real game and he's on
the team, I'll look him up. But I can't. I
gotta leave it there. But I think you're gonna lose
your seahawk bet. But we believe you. I'm sorry, Shane.
There are ways you can watch the TV show illegally.
I do not recommend in Australia because I you know,
I don't get in trouble with my bosses over there
at NBC. But let's get over to Eddie right now.
(27:26):
That's right. The World. I don't need to say it anything,
all of it. Fuck you. It's Pucked the World with
Eddy Garcia, Puck the imagery.

the Devil's sweeping two games from Andy the comic book guy,
Sorry Stabers. Sixteen teams opening up the season over the
last two days. What have we seen so far? While
defending Stanley Cup champion at Florida, Panthers raised their championship
Banner won their season opener against the Bruins. We saw
the NHL's first regular season game in Utah, Dylan Gunther
scoring the first goal in Utah history as the Utah
(28:21):
Hockey Club won their opener. We saw our first female
NHL assistant coach, Jessica Campbell on the bench for the
Seattle Kraken, but Dan Bilsman lost his coaching debut for Seattle.
We had not one, not two, not three, but three
shutouts on the second d of the NHL, including Montreal
Sam Montembeau Flummock seeing the Maple Leafs go forty eight
(28:42):
say performance hor As Craig Brube lost his coaching debut
in Toronto. We had our first overtime game Calgary getting
a six to five OHOT win, winning.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
It on a cunt jam.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
Also thanks to our friend Tim Darby for pointing this
out to me. We had the NHL debut of Ivan
Ivan of the Colono Avalanche.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
The first player that's his poor name Everton would have
the same first head last name. I love it Ivan Ivan.
His parents were very creative nickname It's crazy. Boston Bruins
goalie Jeremy swayinon Terrible. I've in the terrible Crazy, I've
in the terrible.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
Jeremy Swayman ended his contract, told out eight year deal
worth sixty six million dollars with the Boston Bruins. He'll
make eight point two five million per season, tying in
for the fourth highest average annual value for a goaltender. Meanwhile,
goalie Ego Shasterkin turning down the New York Rangers eight year,
eighty eight million dollar offer to become the highest bade
goalie in NHL history. The deal would have surpassed the
eight year, eighty four million dollars deal that Kerry Price
(29:40):
of the Canadian signed at twenty seventeen. Shasterk and his
schedule to become an unrestricted free agent after this season.
Former Veslant Trophy winner and considered by many to be
the Tom goalie and the NHL Florida Panthers and forward
Carter ver Hagy agree on an eight year contract where
fifty six million dollars. He's been a part of Stanley
Cup winning teams in both Florida and Tampa Bay, Utah
Hockey Club named they are first ever captain in franchise history.
(30:01):
That would be forward Clayton Keller and the Sandle Kraken
selected Jordan Epley is their captain. That means that for
the first time since the twenty ten to twenty eleventh season,
all thirty two NHL teams are playing with a captain
this season. And finally, Los Angeles is going to be
the host of the twenty twenty five NHL Draft.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Oh, I probably will. It's going to be at the
Peacock Theater. A hell is that I don't even know
what the Peacock Theater is. Well, it changes names all
the time. It was the Microsoft Across went across from
skid Row.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
No, it's not from Crypto dot com arena. This is
going to be the first to decentralize NHL draft.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
So no GMS or scouts will be there. That's stupid,
so cheap, they can't send them out. They're doing what's
for show. Yeah, they're doing what the TV show in
the n H and the NBA are doing.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
Now it's the players and the families will be there,
but none of the team represents.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
And that is your Puck the World Report. Dum, dumb, dumb,
it is the Ben Mathers Show. As we roll on,
I'll give you a quick word to the Battle Buck
and then I have to get to Factor fiction. Hello,
battle Buck.
Speaker 7 (31:11):
Hey, what's having in the Matt Hatter sports Chatter?
Speaker 1 (31:15):
Yeah, that's me. I'm wearing a hat right now. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (31:18):
Hey, I just want to talk about the daughters today, man.
And uh, let me tell you, man, our starters have
really uh got the bed this series. And I think
this bullpen that we have there's no joke. I think, Uh,
Dave Roberts really uh we've made a great decision on
(31:40):
just making it a bullten game.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
I hate bullpen games. I can't stand them. You're the
LA Dodgers. You're not the Tampa Bay Rays. It's embarrassing
act like the Dodgers.
Speaker 7 (31:50):
Let me tell you something, though, Ben, you gotta do
what you're gonna do to win. Brother.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
Yeah, but the problem is it's not sustainable because the
fact that everyone's gonna be fine every day is not realistic.
It's not. All it takes is one of those guys
in a close game to have a bad outing, you
lose the game.
Speaker 7 (32:06):
You know what, You're right, You're you're right. It's not sexy,
but it's baseball, man, and that's what Listen.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
I hope, I hope they win. But if they don't
start Yamamoto in Game five, that is an indictment. The
guy's a fraud. If they don't start it, they go
with another bullpen game, or they start Flairty. They don't
trust Yamamoto. They pay him three hundred twenty five million
for games like this, For games.
Speaker 7 (32:30):
Like this, Hey, I know they spend what three hundred
million on Yamamoto?
Speaker 4 (32:34):
What has he done?
Speaker 7 (32:35):
Nothing?
Speaker 1 (32:36):
No, that's true. I gotta live there because I'm up
against the clock. But I appreciate it. We're gonna have
if you want to call up factor fiction. I am
giving Jack the judge and Leslie a pass because the
storm passed over Bradenton's Hopefully they're in some shelter somewhere

number number two, number two, number two
Hello and welcome. It's our number four, our four original recipe,
Ben Malsh, Well, happy Thursday too. It's the tenth day
of October. Halloween will be here in three weeks. And
Aaron Rodgers dressed up like a quarterback blasting phantom Media
(00:20):
reports that he was responsible for the firing of coach
Robert Salah. What does that signal to you? Also, Jason
Kelsey believes kickers are two good nowadays and the NFL
needs to narrow the goalpost. Do you agree or disagree?
And who you got in this dust up between the
Saints strub wide receiver and motown. We'll talk about that
(00:43):
and more right now here. It is our number four.
Have a wonderful Thursday. Spin Spin, Spin, Spins Spin. Wel come,
in the beginning of another hour of the Ben mal Show.
We are in the air everywhere as we test the
(01:05):
waters and we give you a sports talk the way
it should be Coast to coast, border, the border and beyond.
On the vast and grandiosely powerful microphones of FSR. Am
monnating live from the chair in the Big Chairs, Mark Patrick,
or old Morning Guys said back in the day, we're
(01:26):
broadcasting live from the tyrack dot Com studios. Tyrack dot
com will help you get there and unmatched selection, vast
free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand
recommended installers. Tire rack dot com the way tire buying
should be. I know Kathy and Madison approves that message.
(01:47):
So the baseball is big story. We talked about that
over the last couple hours here. We'll get back to
that later. The Dodgers are staying alive, stand alive, beat
the podres eight nothing and now they'll try to knock
San Diego out and the peacock Fernando Tatist their back
at Dodger Stadium on Friday Yankees or went away Tigers
and went away. The Mets have advanced. So that's the
(02:08):
baseball story. But our lead this hour from Gotham, or
just adjacent to Gotham, the fallout from the foreseeable removal
of Robert Salah, the motivational speaker masquerading as Jets coach.
So we're watching now. This is the part of the
story that the dust is now settling. Aaron Rogers has
(02:35):
given a state of the Union address, if you will,
about the coaching change. How have you saw this or
not I'd have heard about it. Maybe maybe he did,
maybe not. Aaron Rodgers full throatedly said that he had
nothing nothing to do with Robert Salah's removal as coach
(02:55):
of the Jets. He's just a harmless bystander using the
time testing clash. It's a tough business. Rogers waxed poetic
about these ridiculous allegations that he's somehow meddled with the Jets. Now,
Aaron Rodgers said that he resents any any of these
(03:16):
accusations because they're patently false, is what he's said. He says, interesting,
the amount of power that people think that I have,
which I don't. Rogers said, all right, so let us
discuss the question. Aaron Rodgers saying that the noise that's
out there, and I'm one of the ones with the
(03:38):
megaphone continuing to give you the noise. But Roger's saying
that listen, people saying I played a role in removing
Robert salas coach of the Jets. It's a ridiculous allegation.
How do you interpret the meaning of all this? So
I've got bargain shopping time out and Noah all and
(04:03):
we'll put all of these things together and we are
going to have a wind speed of about I don't know,
ten miles an hour. All right, So to kick off
here Aaron Rodgers, yet again was the T word triggered?
He was triggered by the reporting. It clearly touched a nerve.
(04:23):
Now why would he be upset by this unless there
was truth in the reporting? Right? Could it be that
these stories hit too close to home for Aaron Rodgers?
That Rogers, Now, he doesn't own the Jets, we know that. However,
he is the puppeteer for the Jets. He's the puppeteer. Now,
he's the one pulling the string on the marionettes and whatnot?
(04:45):
Here the old fashioned don't ask me, I just work here. Yeah, okay,
that's the ticket, right, Plausible deniability, PD, plausible deniability, it's
what everyone wants. So what we do know, oh, is
that the j e Ts suck, suck, suck. The Jets
were bargain shopping, right, They were bargain shopping, and they
(05:08):
made a Faustian bargain is what they did.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Right.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Woody Johnson was willing to sacrifice just about anything the
owner of the Jets there to satisfy his limitless desire
for the Jets actually to matter. But if you don't
think that Aaron Rodgers was the one behind this, you're
obviously gullible. And number two, how do you explain? How
(05:33):
do you explain that Nathaniel Hackett the just comply I
want to say something bad that would get me in trouble.
They call m a clown. The clown offensive coordinator still
has a job. Explain that all these ex packers who
the Jets brought in because of Aaron Rodgers, but Aaron
(05:54):
Rodgers is not the GM by proxy, He's not the
one influencing those moves. Come on, all right, Furthermore, we
turn the page. Now we head to the former player
turned gas bag full time category. That is where Jason Kelsey,
one of the traveling Kelsey brothers, wants you to know
(06:14):
that he has an idea. He believes that the idiot
kickers in the NFL are just too good. Now, the
kickers are too good in the NFL, and he says
the NFL needs to narrow narrow the goalposts. Do you
agree or disagree that kicking is at the next level
(06:35):
and we just need to take the kicker down a
couple of notches. So I'm gonna go thumbs down on this.
I do not agree with the hypothesis of Jason Kelcey.
It is unnecessary. Now let me point out I'm going
thumbs down here. Jason Kelsey should be going to what
I call take time out, take time out into attention.
(06:59):
It is not that I enjoy the fifty five yard
field goal. I don't. I don't know many people that
like the fifty five yard field goal. You get a
touch back, start at the thirty yard line, and then
get a couple of first downs and already you're in
field goal range. That's not exciting, that's not good. But again,
it's like unnecessary because banning I put it in the
(07:20):
same bag is like banning the shift in baseball, and
it didn't need to happen. It did, but it didn't
need to happen. There are ways around it, right, there's
ways around the shift in baseball, but there's ways around
this as well. Matriculate the ball down the field and
score a touchdown and don't get the fourth down, and
(07:42):
then you don't have to worry about that. And kickers
only have more influence now because offenses have slowed down. Now,
the defenses are great. All of a sudden but I
don't think that's the case. But they have new defensive
systems that have taken away a lot of the big players.
Not as many pass plays now as there have been
(08:02):
in the past, so it's an issue. But you don't
change everything fundamentally because you've got the EBB and flow,
the up and down, and right now the kickers are
doing pretty well, but not everybody has a good kicker.
Plenty of teams that do not, and it balances out. Now,
last thing, I'm let me go off the reservation here
a little bit. We go to the great state of
Michigan and while on a recent podcast he hosts with
(08:26):
his brother, the much more famous Lions wide receiver, I'm
on Ross Saint Brown, a member of the Saints practice squad,
a journeyman NFL receiver wide receiver Equinymous Brown, Saint Brown,
the other we'll call them EQ. EQ is the nickname.
But he went on his podcast there and said that
(08:49):
the following about the Motor City, EQ said, Detroit. No
one's going there, I promise you. I think a lot
of people outside of Detroit would agree with me, he said,
if they could choose to live anywhere in the world
or the country, they would not choose Detroit. Now I
wouldn't have known about this, but the official social media
(09:11):
account for the city of Detroit replied to aman Ross
Saint Brown's brother, citing the bumpity bump in population and
comparing e Q, the brother of aman Ross Saint Brown,
unfavorably to his much more successful fellow NFL player. So
(09:33):
who you got, who you got in this dust up
between the Saints scrub aman Ross Saint Brown's brother and
the city of Motown. So I am going to side
with the Motor City on this one. I'm gonna side
with the Motor City. It is a city on the
comeback trail. Twenty years ago, it was really nasty. It's
(09:58):
slowly improving. There was a period years ago you could
buy a whole city block in Detroit for a couple
thousand bucks. Like I'm talking homes. It's not at that
level right now. And part of the problem is I
actually liked some of the normalcy in a lot of
the Midwestern cities. I haven't spent a lot of time
(10:19):
in Detroit, so I've been to the airport many times.
That's a Delta hub, but I haven't spent a lot
of time in Detroit proper. My brother, my other brother,
was there. He's been there a couple of times. He
loves it. He's like, hey, you gotta go check out Detroit, man,
It's awesome. So I haven't spent too much time there,
But in general, I've been to a lot of Midwestern
cities for work or just to hang out with family
that lives there and whatnot and friends. And I always
(10:42):
loved Chicago. I had a great time in Minneapolis. People
very nice there. Indianapolis was awesome. I even liked Milwaukee.
Don't tell anybody Green Bay. I don't know about that.
But you know, again, all four seasons. You don't get that.
Where I live out here in LA it's a lot cheaper,
and it seems like a lot of those places still
(11:03):
have some soul to them. Some of these other big cities,
San Francisco, La, whatever, they lost a lot of soul,
you know. But eq I would put this commentary on
his podcast in the Noah All category. Now, what is
the Noah All category? You asked that would be a
classic from Joe Kim. Noah's long lost NBA player was
(11:27):
playing for the Chicago Bulls and they had the matchup
with the Cavaliers, and he said, I mean, I never
heard anyone say I'm going to Cleveland on vacation. What's
so good about Cleveland? So there's that. The other problem here,
which is rather obvious, This is on a podcast, and
I'm on Ross Saint Brown's Brother EQ sat Brown, cloud chasing,
(11:50):
cloud chasing, user engagement, climbing, climbing, the big click click castle,
if you will, trying to get that that number up
on the podcast and all that. Now, I never have
to resort to that level on the fifth hour podcast
that I do because we get plenty of downloads, so
I never have to do engagement, farming or any of that.
(12:10):
Don't do it, don't bother. It is the Ben Mahler Show.

Speaker 1 (13:07):
Latest hour. Have fucked the World with Eddie. Take your
calls up until then. A busy time of the year
and the people have a lot to say, much to
say unless they do not. Alf the alien opinter says,
we are we to believe that Aaron Rodgers has the
power to snap his fingers and make things happen over
(13:29):
a dinner with Woodie Johnson. PS. You don't need to
lecture me about tires. I bought my tire Rack tires
earlier this year, that says Alf me alien Opinter. So
I know Alf does a lot of driving around around
Springfield and all over the place there, so he's all
over the road using those tires. Very nicely. All right,
(13:51):
it is the Yes, it is the Ben Maler Show.
Let's go with the phones. Jackass, Josh is in La
La Land literally and figuratively. Hello Jackass. Josh. Hmm, sounds
like JACKI asked, Josh has passed out. No, Jack, you
AS's what a jackiass will do. Let's say hello to
legally blind Christopher who's in the Carolinas but his heart
(14:14):
is in Michigan. Hello Christopher, Welcome, mister.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
Malor, thank you so much for taking my column, putting
me on drive time.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
I'm really impressed Morning Drive. Yeah, big ratings, massive ratings,
this is true.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
But this could only grow as we continue to fight
the Mala militia. Now Michigan being attacked, mister Malan, I
wanted to talk on baseball, but boy, this sorry, just
really amazes me how much they want to attack Michigan.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Well you did, You did leave Michigan, even though you
love Michigan. You did leave the I'm going back. Yeah
you are you a seasonal Carolina resident?
Speaker 4 (14:50):
Well no, it's weir. Housing has gotten so expensive here.
I could get three times the house from Michigan for
what I pay here, and much better our healthcare.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
There you go. Look at that, You're going to move
back to your old stopping rounds.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
Damn out. Two years from retirement. I got to do something.
But mister Maller, let me ask you this riddle. So
we have to deal with motown kiddies, audio description and
the rapid radio phone system. What do they all have
in common?
Speaker 1 (15:25):
I give up? I don't know what.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
Well, this is the only way I can try and
keep up with what's going on with Tiger Baseball because
they change the pictures so many darn times. But I
can't even get an idea who's on the mound, let
alone be able to enjoy the game. But I'm dependent
on my wrapid radio system be able to ask our
cheating manager what the heck is going on? Because Game
(15:48):
four today, what I'm going to be stuck with is
the worst of our worst bullpen pictures. To make another
joke of the major baseball scene and what it looks like.
I can't even enjoy the game, let alone figure out
who's on the mound.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Well, there were thirteen pitchers in that Cleveland Detroit game
between both teams. Thirteen. That seems a little excessible, but
it works. It works well did it work for the Guardians?
Did it work? I guess Cobb was not really a star,
not an opener. He was supposed to pitch better. But
it's Alex Cobb, Like, what do you expect. The guy's
a journeyman, big league pitcher.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
Just disgust me that. I mean, we have one starter,
maybe two if we have to.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
But where is Where is Jack Morris gone when you
need him?
Speaker 4 (16:39):
I tell you, Dan Petree, Jack Morris, give me some
of the.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Old you'd even take Frank Tanana. You'd put him out there.
I would at the end of his Yeah, I.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
Got I really appreciate your lying. Thank you, well, thank
you so much.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
All right, go away. There's a legally blind Christopher with
the Michigan Minute, and we'll say hello to Jed who fled?
Who is next? Hello, Jed.
Speaker 5 (17:05):
On news man, I'm so good. Like the reason it's
good to live in the Pantangels Florida is because you
want to be a crime. You want to be a
criminal like our players are on our team Sentinels in
the capital, Florida one, because that's where the resources are
going to be maximized. When hurricanes roll through. Nobody carries
out South Florida anywhere you can walk, and you see
(17:27):
there's just above fifty percent that your conversations are going
to be not in English, and you're not going to
overhear English, then you're not in America anymore. And so
they don't as accurate as any drop as it's ever
been played.
Speaker 6 (17:42):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (17:43):
I didn't have to be racist. He did it for me.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
That's perfect race and racist.
Speaker 5 (17:49):
They had an echo to it. You know you got
an echo. I don't know. I was just asking, like
I figured, you play another drop of the neto what
you want to do though it makes you You donate
your funding to mercury. We want charity. The mercury want charity.
That's Glenn Bak's charity. One hundred percent of every dollar
goes to the to the you know charity people in
(18:09):
South Florida. No overhead, just like Ben Allen would do.
No over you're gonna take any money.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
You do have to research your charity because a lot
of them are scams. A lot of the money doesn't
go to anybody.
Speaker 5 (18:21):
Every think like everybody like Glenn bag By, he's a devil.
And then no turn on that you two cd N
bonus taking sixty percent out of their charity money. And
number one, that's a song that's about how much his
charity of money gets to the people that need it.
So what do you think about what do.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
You think about the hurricane mills and they say Category
one heading to Jacksonville, it's over Jacksonville like it.
Speaker 5 (18:47):
I have no reasoning to be, you know, no reason.
I'm not even watched the weather channels that comes through.
I have no sympathy for this people. I mean, you know,
the Florida's I'll dealing with the same stuff. But I
think it doesn't feel like it's that bad. From up here,
there's like a braided this fantastic.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Day, like a beautiful day in the neighborhood.
Speaker 5 (19:04):
Yes, I actually front coming through here is what pushed
it back to South Florida, so they get some of that.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
He didn't go to South Florida. It's it's it went
through Tampa, it's going through Central Floor, I guess, and
now it's going past Jacksonville. Anyway, thank you, Yes, all right,
appreciate that Jed living up to all these stereotypes is
only Jed can do. Yeah, exactly, all right? Is the
(19:31):
Ben Mallard Show we'll have fucked the world here coming
up in a couple of minutes. But Bill Belichick has
commented on the status of the ben Gals. Not the Bengals,
the Jets, rather the Jets firing their coach. Belichick was
asked about Robert Sala's firing. There's been people that say
that he is interested in the job. Other say he
hates the Jets, will never take the job. But he
(19:53):
used the P word Belichick to describe the firing by
the Jets of Robert Sala. He said the decision was puzzling.
So it was not puzzling. The only puzzling thing about
that was that they kept Nathaniel Hackett. That's puzzling. If
(20:14):
the Jets had gotten rid of Nathaniel Hackett and Robert
Salad us said, okay, it's a good day for the Jets,
and you would have downplayed Aaron Rodgers having anything to
do with it. The fact that there were reports that
Nathaniel Hackett was going to be demoted as the offensive
coordinator and then Robert Salah gets the guillotine and Nathaniel
(20:37):
Hackett remains there. That is a dead new what that
is a dead new way of some funny business. Also,
I wanted to mention I don't think we ever paid
this off earlier. The outrage machine was cranked up because
during the game it was on TBS. TBS between the
Royals and Yankees. There was a very long conversation with
(21:01):
George Brett, mister Kansas City Royal, George Brett with a
winking a nod to Steve Bye by Balboni, but a
George Brett interview that went an entire half inning during
Game three of the Alds and people upset, but of
course they're Yankee fans upset. But he talked about the
(21:22):
glory days of his career year and the rivalry with
the Yankees and the matchup, talked about an upper deck
home run against a Cus Gossage in the Alcs, and
went through the whole thing with John Paul Morosi, who
famously reported that Shoeo Tani's plane was on its way
(21:42):
to Toronto, only to find out Otani wasn't on the plane.
But it was a good story. It was a good
story for about a day. It was a nice story.
We enjoyed the story. We thought it was it was fun. Yes,
also saw bouncing around a little bit. The deep ben gals.
We mentioned the them in the earlier monologue. Defensive back
(22:05):
Mike Hilton said that the defense is playing like I'll
clean this up, manure. So they held the players. They
held a players only meeting. Now, I'm not going to
do my time tested rant about what a waste players
only meetings are and they're pointless and you don't need them,
and they're all for the cameras and the microphones and
(22:30):
nothing ever gets accomplished from a player only meeting. Just
like at your job or my job, staff meetings are
a waste of everyone's time. Everyone's just trying to get
them over with. It's no different in the locker room.
It's always some hard oh that gets up there and speaks,
and then the rest of the team's like, well, I
gets over with and I got things to do. I
(22:51):
don't want to sit here and listen to this this
JABEBRONI talk. So that's how those things go, generally speaking,
that's how those things go. I also love that the NFL.
You say the NFL is investigating. I love the the
NFL is investigating the iblack message that George Pickens wrote
(23:12):
for the Steeler Cowboy game. What exactly is there to
investigate he wrote a bad word on I mean it's
right there the photos right, what is it? Do you
think that was like AI or somebody photoshopped it? I
mean there's in multiple photos all over the internet the
same verbiage on the iblack of George Pickens. But they're investigating,
(23:34):
bringing the Keystone Cops to investigate.

Wow, wait's good to talk to you. What part of
Australia are you in, sir?
Speaker 6 (24:47):
I'm in Melbourne, the sporting capital of the world.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Yeah, what's the most the most popular sport in Melbourne?
Speaker 6 (24:56):
IL Australian rules of football, not rugby, a mistake. Rugby
is a thug. Sports is the national game of Australia,
and it is. And all your mates in Perth will
tell you that as all they go for to Western Australia.
(25:16):
West Australia is like a different country out here in Australia.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
So yeah, we dominant.
Speaker 6 (25:21):
By the way.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
At what point out this show does very well in
Western Australia. The rest of Australia hates US, but in
Western Australia we do very well.
Speaker 6 (25:29):
Yeah, yeah, Well, I wouldn't say that. But anyway, you
know there's strange a lot out there in Western Australia.
So anyway, Bennie, I've got a new segment that you
need to do. I can't get Benny versus a penny
at It's very difficult to get. So I don't know
whether you do this already. We need Bennie's best bit
(25:52):
for the weekend. Now, I've got one for you.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
All right.
Speaker 6 (25:56):
I'm a big NFL fan. I'm obviously I was obviously
born in America, in California, Northern California. Uh, anyway, I'm
a big But having said that, I'm a Sattle Seahawks. Anyway,
I reckon the best bits for the weekend. I want
you to give you a best pitch for the weekend.
And a difficult weekend, but I think the Seahawks are
(26:19):
getting three and a half. That's the line on my
betting agencies are betting.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Are you going to bet on the Seahawks of the
forty nine ers though? Oh no, Seahawks absolutely, yeah no, no,
that's the wrong side. I got. I got the I
got the Niners there, come on. I don't normally like favorites,
but I got the Niners.
Speaker 4 (26:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (26:40):
Uh, And I've got another one for you, and I
want you to have a look. And I know it's
only pre season NBA, but there's a guy over there,
Jack McVeigh. He played for the Rockets. Yeah today anyway,
he made a play in the last seconds that sent
the game.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
You want me to look up an exhibition basketball game?
How dare you? Shane? How dare you?
Speaker 6 (27:04):
All? Right? Now?
Speaker 1 (27:04):
If he does something, I may deal with you. If
he does something during a real game and he's on
the team, I'll look him up. But I can't. I
gotta leave it there. But I think you're gonna lose
your seahawk bet. But we believe you. I'm sorry, Shane.
There are ways you can watch the TV show illegally.
I do not recommend in Australia because I you know,
I don't get in trouble with my bosses over there
at NBC. But let's get over to Eddie right now.
(27:26):
That's right. The World. I don't need to say it anything,
all of it. Fuck you. It's Pucked the World with
Eddy Garcia, Puck the imagery.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
Yeah, and this Puck the World dedicated to our friend
Calligan Tim.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
We mentioned it We mentioned it on the show late yesterday.
Both said out to go fund me.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
His wife, Yeah, he passed away. I did get an
email from his dad saying they heard the end of
the show and they appreciated it, and he said we
have interesting callers, which is very true.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
The NHL season underway.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
Yeah, we had two teams open up the season Oversees
the Devil's sweeping two games from Andy the comic book guy,
Sorry Stabers. Sixteen teams opening up the season over the
last two days. What have we seen so far? While
defending Stanley Cup champion at Florida, Panthers raised their championship
Banner won their season opener against the Bruins. We saw
the NHL's first regular season game in Utah, Dylan Gunther
scoring the first goal in Utah history as the Utah
(28:21):
Hockey Club won their opener. We saw our first female
NHL assistant coach, Jessica Campbell on the bench for the
Seattle Kraken, but Dan Bilsman lost his coaching debut for Seattle.
We had not one, not two, not three, but three
shutouts on the second d of the NHL, including Montreal
Sam Montembeau Flummock seeing the Maple Leafs go forty eight
(28:42):
say performance hor As Craig Brube lost his coaching debut
in Toronto. We had our first overtime game Calgary getting
a six to five OHOT win, winning.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
It on a cunt jam.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
Also thanks to our friend Tim Darby for pointing this
out to me. We had the NHL debut of Ivan
Ivan of the Colono Avalanche.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
The first player that's his poor name Everton would have
the same first head last name. I love it Ivan Ivan.
His parents were very creative nickname It's crazy. Boston Bruins
goalie Jeremy swayinon Terrible. I've in the terrible Crazy, I've
in the terrible.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
Jeremy Swayman ended his contract, told out eight year deal
worth sixty six million dollars with the Boston Bruins. He'll
make eight point two five million per season, tying in
for the fourth highest average annual value for a goaltender. Meanwhile,
goalie Ego Shasterkin turning down the New York Rangers eight year,
eighty eight million dollar offer to become the highest bade
goalie in NHL history. The deal would have surpassed the
eight year, eighty four million dollars deal that Kerry Price
(29:40):
of the Canadian signed at twenty seventeen. Shasterk and his
schedule to become an unrestricted free agent after this season.
Former Veslant Trophy winner and considered by many to be
the Tom goalie and the NHL Florida Panthers and forward
Carter ver Hagy agree on an eight year contract where
fifty six million dollars. He's been a part of Stanley
Cup winning teams in both Florida and Tampa Bay, Utah
Hockey Club named they are first ever captain in franchise history.
(30:01):
That would be forward Clayton Keller and the Sandle Kraken
selected Jordan Epley is their captain. That means that for
the first time since the twenty ten to twenty eleventh season,
all thirty two NHL teams are playing with a captain
this season. And finally, Los Angeles is going to be
the host of the twenty twenty five NHL Draft.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Oh, I probably will. It's going to be at the
Peacock Theater. A hell is that I don't even know
what the Peacock Theater is. Well, it changes names all
the time. It was the Microsoft Across went across from
skid Row.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
No, it's not from Crypto dot com arena. This is
going to be the first to decentralize NHL draft.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
So no GMS or scouts will be there. That's stupid,
so cheap, they can't send them out. They're doing what's
for show. Yeah, they're doing what the TV show in
the n H and the NBA are doing.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
Now it's the players and the families will be there,
but none of the team represents.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
And that is your Puck the World Report. Dum, dumb, dumb,
it is the Ben Mathers Show. As we roll on,
I'll give you a quick word to the Battle Buck
and then I have to get to Factor fiction. Hello,
battle Buck.
Speaker 7 (31:11):
Hey, what's having in the Matt Hatter sports Chatter?
Speaker 1 (31:15):
Yeah, that's me. I'm wearing a hat right now. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (31:18):
Hey, I just want to talk about the daughters today, man.
And uh, let me tell you, man, our starters have
really uh got the bed this series. And I think
this bullpen that we have there's no joke. I think, Uh,
Dave Roberts really uh we've made a great decision on
(31:40):
just making it a bullten game.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
I hate bullpen games. I can't stand them. You're the
LA Dodgers. You're not the Tampa Bay Rays. It's embarrassing
act like the Dodgers.
Speaker 7 (31:50):
Let me tell you something, though, Ben, you gotta do
what you're gonna do to win. Brother.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
Yeah, but the problem is it's not sustainable because the
fact that everyone's gonna be fine every day is not realistic.
It's not. All it takes is one of those guys
in a close game to have a bad outing, you
lose the game.
Speaker 7 (32:06):
You know what, You're right, You're you're right. It's not sexy,
but it's baseball, man, and that's what Listen.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
I hope, I hope they win. But if they don't
start Yamamoto in Game five, that is an indictment. The
guy's a fraud. If they don't start it, they go
with another bullpen game, or they start Flairty. They don't
trust Yamamoto. They pay him three hundred twenty five million
for games like this, For games.
Speaker 7 (32:30):
Like this, Hey, I know they spend what three hundred
million on Yamamoto?
Speaker 4 (32:34):
What has he done?
Speaker 7 (32:35):
Nothing?
Speaker 1 (32:36):
No, that's true. I gotta live there because I'm up
against the clock. But I appreciate it. We're gonna have
if you want to call up factor fiction. I am
giving Jack the judge and Leslie a pass because the
