Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our numb birth three, a hodgepodge of an hour
three Malor monologue. As we skim through the headlines, bouncing
around like a metal ball and a pinball machine. We
start in the NBA, where Dame Time is taking another
shot at the Trailblazers. What did Dame Lillard accomplish with
(00:24):
his latest rants about the Portland basketball team? What are
the chances that Major League Baseball legend Steve Garvey the
Garv wins the race to be a senator, a United
States Senator from California? And how do you evaluate the
NHL banning all on ice theme nights after some brew
(00:47):
ha haas in recent years we talk about that as well.
Also the Iowa Minute's coming your way right now here.
It is our number three, still blazing.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Even though you're a buck.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Welme come in the beginning of another hour.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Of the Ben Malor Show.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
As we are in the air everywhere under the sheets,
as we know the script coast to coast, border, the
border and beyond on the mast and unrealistically powerful microphones
of fsr ammnating live from the tongue, the slip of
(01:30):
the tongue.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
We are broadcasting live from the tyraq dot com studios.
Tyrack dot com will help you get there in unmatched selection,
fast free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten
thousand recommended installers. Tyraq dot com the way tire buying
should be. So we are gonna bounce around like a
(01:52):
racketball bouncing around a racketball court.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Hopefully we don't hit any mouse traps here, but earlead.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
We'll start with pro bouncy as we get closer to
the start of the regular season. I think we're two
weeks away from the start of the NBA season, a
little less than that.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
And our lead comes from what time zone.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
It's not Eastern Time, it's not Central Time, it's not Mountain,
not Pacific.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
It's Dame Time.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
That's where the Milwaukee Bucks star is still throwing haymakers
at his former employer, the Portland basketball team. Now, if
you didn't hear this or didn't see it, Dame Lillard
recently said that he believes the Portland front office did
him dirty.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
They dead him dirty. That's what he said, in so
many words.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
I popped up on state sponsored NBA radio recently and
he commented about his wishes to go to South Florida
and how he told the Blazers everything.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Take a listen.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
Oh, I was like, okay, this where I want to go, said,
you would help me get to where I want to go.
So it got to the point where it was like
no communication to that team.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
All right, So here's the other sound by here that
I wanted, the one about his plans to go to
the Heat.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
I don't think it was a secret that Miami was
where I wanted to go when I asked for a trade, and.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Yeah, all right, so here's the deal. Those were out
of order, but you get the point. Anyway, I was
building up to the crescendo. Unfortunately we didn't get that.
But that last one, which we played first, I got
to the point where it was like no communication to
that team, Lillard said in that second sound by talking
about which was really the first sound by that we
played about not talking with the Heat. So let us
(03:41):
discuss very confusing, but stay with me the question what
did Dame Lillard accomplish with his rant where he complained
again paraphrasing, that the Blazer's front office did him dirty.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
He had told the Heat.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
I told the Blazers he wanted to play for the heat.
The Blazers were aware of that, and they were going
to capitch a late and help him out, and then,
as it turned out, they did not. All right, So, uh,
first of all, I've got I've got Cockroach Reverend and
LeVar Ball. Cockroach Reverend and LeVar Ball, and we will
(04:17):
connect everything together and stay jigsaw puzzles pieces together. So
first of all, Damian Lillard letting some steam off. Letting
some steam off, now doing some image management, and.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
I get it right.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
He's he's molding things in his direction. From from what
we've heard, it's a lot more complicated, and it's like
the rule of drama. Everything's more complicated and messy than
it needs to be. And the Lillard story, from what
I've been told, it's a triangle. Much like many of
these things we talk about. There's three sides to the story. There,
(04:55):
in this case is Damian Lillard's side to the story.
There is the Blazer's side to the story, and then
there's the truth. And so here's what I've been able
to decipher from sending random text messages to people who
are very plugged in and the streets have been talking,
and from what I've gathered Portland was prepared to give
(05:17):
Dame Lillard what he wanted to send him to Miami,
and then his agent. Dame Lillard's agent finagled and gave
some comments to the media that rubbed several big Grand
poohbas there in Portland the wrong way. And it was
at that point that the Blazers pivoted right. That the
(05:40):
agent tossed a cockroach into the South Beach salad that
Damian Lillard was going to get, and Lillard's agent had
embarrassed the franchise. And so once you embarrass someone, we
all know how this works for us human nature. You
embarrass someone and hell, hath no fury like some one
who's been humiliated. And so boundaries were broken. At least
(06:03):
that's the procession. Maybe they're wrong on that.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
I wasn't there, but the perception is that the agent
crossed the line by making some threatening comments publicly when
they had kind of an under the table deal that
this is what was gonna happen, And that's when the
Blazers decided, you know what, We're gonna go this other direction.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Screw you, We're not gonna deal with you to where
you want to go.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
And by the way, Damian Lillard managed to not only
rip Portland, but the Bucks also ended up catching some
strays on this because he repeated again he didn't really
want to go to Wisconsin. He's in Wisconsin, but he
his heart and his son Tan Lotion are in Miami
all right now. Secondly to the Golden State, we go
where a baseball icon of years gone by is back
(06:47):
on our radar again, known as a Dodger legend who
went to wear that Taco uniform in San Diego with
the Padres, Steve Garvey. If you're of a certain age,
he was a big deal in the nineteen in seventies
and the early eighties. Steve Garvey announced this week that
he is running for United States Senate. He's running for
(07:08):
a candidacy for the United States Senate. There's a open
seat in California. He's going to run as a Republican
in the twenty twenty four election. Now this is not
a political show, but this is someone that I've dealt
with a little bit over the years. I didn't deal
with Garvey when he was a player, obviously I was
too young for that. But being in the media and
(07:29):
being around the Dodgers a lot of the years. I've
run into Garvey several times. I've had some wonderful conversations
with Steve. I've interviewed him on the radio a few
times over the years. So Garvey is seventy four years
old now, and he is seeking to replace Diane Feinstein,
who died last month. And so Garvey's never been a politician,
(07:51):
at least formally. He's never run for public office. And
he has worked a little bit as a lobbyist from
what I understand, where he's been sent to Washington the
lobby for certain things. So what are the chances in
the MLB legend Steve Garvey wins the race to be
a United States Senator. So I'm going to set the
(08:12):
Malor Sportsbook odds on Steve Garvey actually becoming a senator.
I'm gonna set this at plus forty five hundred, which.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Implies about about a two percent chance. And I'm being generous.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
I'm being very generous here because Garvey, in order to
win office, needs a reverend to come in and provide
a buffet of our fathers and Hill Mary's is what
he needs because he is in the wrong political party
in the People's Republic of California, California.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
I mean, he's pretty much dead on arrival.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
He's running Garvey as a Republican and the Democrat voters
outnumber of Republicans by two to one. To give you
an idea what kind of odds Garvey's facing. The last time,
the last time a non Democrat won a Republican one
in California any kind of US Senate.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Race was nineteen eighty eight.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Was the last time Garvey was I think a year
removed from playing.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
I think he stopped playing in nineteen eighty seven.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
I believe maybe it was eighty six, but it was
around that time, so he was only a couple of
years after, a year or so after he had stopped playing.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
And so listen, it's gonna be interesting.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
I will tell you from my conversations with Garvey over
the years, he is very political. He's very smooth when
he talks to the media and he talks to fans.
He's very polished, which is what many politicians, that's what
they are right there. I'm not saying he's phony, but
I'm saying he's phony in a way, which is actually
a good thing when you run for political office. But
(09:49):
good luck, good luck on that. Now, final five, we
visit the land of the Samboni. Now you might be saying, hey,
maybe I'll do a monologue the start of the hockey season,
the regular season underway.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
They drive the puck no no, no, no, no, the.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Rare and appropriate the rare and appropriate mention with the
season underway. Because some news here it's a third rail moment.
I don't even think this is the third rail. I
don't think this is the third rail. So we've learned
the NHL has outlawed those on ice theme nights, you know,
and they pull out a different cause and they have
(10:24):
ticket packages and they have special jerseys and things. So
the NHL, on the eve of the start of the season,
which is now underway, we are told they sent a
memo out to all members of the cartel and they
updated the guidance. They barred any on ice uniforms or
gear for these theme nights, and that includes in warm
(10:46):
ups the theme night, the tape that some of the
guys who put on their sticks for whatever the theme
of the night was. Now this has caused some major
blowback against Gary Bettman and the NHL. So how do
you evaluate the NHL banning on ice theme nights.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
So here's how I evaluated this is a major win
for the people.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Years ago in twenty twenty, when every sports league was
trying to outwoke each other and people were saying, well,
we just want to watch. The sports were not really
into you shoving your agenda down our throat. It's a
lesson learned, right. The NHL tried like everyone and they
went full woke, just like the NBA did. And they
remember the NBA had all the slogans on the court
in the uniform and then they had to get rid
(11:32):
of those because people were not watching and it was
a problem. And so they're like, you know, well, I
don't think we'll do that anymore. Well, the NHL, I
guess it took a little bit longer here, but a
number of players complained. There were some very prominent players
from mother Russia who said, listen, if we wear this,
we can go back to Russia and they'll mess with
(11:53):
our toes or they'll they'll screw.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Somebody up in our family.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
But generally, just it caused some pre and bad pr
and you know, these people react, that's what they react, right,
They react to pr And so Gary Bettman became flustered
and his minions of underlings and they decided, well, the
calculations that we had were wrong. So they had an
(12:19):
epiphany and they stopped trying to pacify everyone. And and
really the people that are the most upset are the
activists and the special interest groups. And if they're upset,
that's probably not a bad thing. That's probably not a
bad thing. But as LeVar Ball said, stay in your lanes.
So that's the lesson, right. I remember there was a
famous line, you just shut up and dribble. Well, this
is the hockey's version of just shut up and skates.
(12:42):
Know your limits, right, and the customers tune in for
the hockey.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Right.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
It's like when you go to a burger place, you
want the burger. You know, if you give other stuff,
it's probably not gonna be as good. And so sir,
if they want the hockey, serve the hockey, and whatever
your agenda of the week is or the agenda of
the month, you can you can probably do that somewhere
else if you're if you're so inclined to do that.
So bravo, bravo to the NHL for doing it, and
(13:08):
a good job by them, and I imagine we'll see
more and more of this as we go forward. All right,
it is the Ben Malor Show. If you would like
to be part, you can join us here. We have
not taken a lot of calls. I'm not gonna lie
to you.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
It's been mostly me and Di Seger Barkin.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
But there are people on hold and we will try
to work you into the conversation if you're patient. I
can't guarantee anything, but we've we haven't talked me into
saga in a long time, and we're catching up on
old stories.
Speaker 6 (13:35):
Oh sure, blame it on me.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Yes, it's all Steve de Sega. I learned that from
Arnie Spaniar. He taught me that the snicking genius.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Told me that went in doubt. Blame Steve to say.
Speaker 6 (13:45):
Arnie Spanier can still be heard on these Fox Sports
radio airwaves every late Sunday.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Night, but not here.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Arnie cannot He cannot be heard here because he cannot
stand the Mallard Militia. No so absolutely, yes, he's afraid
of the Malad militia the correct verb.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Yes.
Speaker 7 (14:02):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
So the company has asked him to fill in for me,
and he says, I will not do it.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
I cannot handle these knuckleheads that.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
That are part of the show. So h it's fascinating. Anyway,
We'll press on and we By.
Speaker 6 (14:14):
The way, Arnie is the only guy that gets to
see his Arizona Wildcats on the PAC twelve network. It's
available in Vermont, where he lives, it's not available.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
I'll have to.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Run my Arnie story by you because I do have
a new Arnie story which you do not know about.
But here's the here's the Mallard riddle of the day.
Here it is the Mallard Riddle of the day. So
a big story in the hockey world. This is the
next the next chosen one, the next savior of hockey
for the Chicago Blackhawks rookie Connor Badard. He made his
debut here Connor Bandard against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Now Blackhawks
(14:48):
rookie Connor Bandard forgot his blank before warm ups ahead
of his NHL debut. Again, Blackhawks hot shot rookie Connor Badar,
the next big thing in the NHL, forgot his blank
before warm ups ahead of his National Hockey League debut.
That is the Malor riddle of the day. Not a
repeat by the way, the answer, we'll get to it.
(15:09):
We'll do it next.

of the very popular shows on the weekends. Here Sunday Night,
Steve de Saga on with mister Plank and mister Spaniard.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
There correct the.
Speaker 6 (15:54):
Rip rowing time after all the NFL games.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Yeah, yeah, it's a great show. And it's my lead
in when I come in here and bark on.
Speaker 6 (16:01):
That's right, it's the JB before the Varsity.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
No, but I love Arnie, you know much like you.
I've known you many years. I've known Arnie many years. Arnie.
Speaker 6 (16:09):
Arnie has been on every other station in America over
the years.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Yeah, Arnie famously came to LA Radio in the beginning
of the Shaq Kobe era and proceeded to rip both
Kobe and Shack while they went out and won three championships,
which provided great theater.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Just for me.
Speaker 6 (16:28):
He used to yell into the microphone, Hey, Laker fans,
Yeah it was.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
It was legendary. So I've known Arnie many, many years.
So here's the story to say. I don't think you've
heard this.
Speaker 6 (16:39):
He still claims he could have owned the Lakers now
since he went to school with Genie Buss at Palisades
and hey, if I had just asked her out.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
I think I'm closer to owning the Lakers because I
got along with Jay Moore when he worked here, and
now he's married the Genie.
Speaker 6 (16:54):
I'm even closer because I've worked with both of them.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
There you go, there you go.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
But anyway, so, so when I was back in Boston
and we were meeting with the NBC people about doing
the TV show, and I had to film some stuff.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
So I was back there, and I love New England.
I don't go there enough, and so.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
I was like, all right, well, I'll I stayed a
couple extra days and so I had some time and
I was visiting my friends I don't see very very
often there in the Northeast, and so I was like,
you know, I want to I'd love to catch up
with Arnie, you know.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
I was like, why not.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
He's over in Vermont, that's not that far away. So
I send Arnie a text. I'm like, hey, you know,
what's what's going on?
Speaker 1 (17:31):
What are you up to. Let's let's do lunch, like
on Thursday or something like that. I get a text back,
who's this.
Speaker 8 (17:43):
Wow?
Speaker 6 (17:47):
So he didn't I didn't.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Say, well, no, But here's the funny thing. He had
he had the same number as when I worked with
him in the nineties. He hadn't changed his number. He
just deleted my number from his phone. And I did
delete his number. I don't delete anyone's number if you're
in my phone, even when you die, Like I have,
I have people. I have Tommy Lasorda's phone number still
on my phone. I have Joe McDonald's phone number La
(18:10):
Radio Legends still.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
On my phone.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
It doesn't matter when you that's my tribute. That's a
silent tribute. When you die, you're in my phone for
the rest of the.
Speaker 6 (18:16):
Time, I still have Dianne Feinstein's number in your phone.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
I did not know. I don't think that made it
soon too soon.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Yeah, although she probably passed away a couple years ago,
we just didn't know about it. But but anyway, all right,
so so so I I finally he I guess he
called somebody at the company here and said, who's who's
this number?
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Somebody here at Fox Sports Radio. So then they told
him is oh Ben you know? And so I heard yeah. Yeah.
So then I was like, well, I'm in Boston, you know,
and I'm driving around. I just want to seeing people.
I'd like to go to lunch.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
And so he then tells me that where he the
town he's in in Vermont, is like a three hour
drive one way, so it would be six hours. It
was like over three. I was like, I'm not, you know, no,
no way, I'm not.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
I'm not. I love Arnie, but I don't love him
that much. Drive. I'm not spending seven hours in the
car to have a one hour lunch.
Speaker 6 (19:05):
It needs to be the best lunch you have ever
had in your life.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Exactly exactly.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
So he didn't see him, But next time, I think
we'll I still won't drive all the way to his house,
but maybe maybe we'll like meet halfway.
Speaker 6 (19:17):
Or I will say he married up because his wife
gets the best Christmas gifts mailed to our office, to
people on the air, to our studios with Vermont maple syrup.
And yes, some people get those.
Speaker 9 (19:29):
Yeah everyone, he's the Heisenberg of maple syrup around here.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Yeah, the King the great Arny Spad. Al Right, it
is the Bane Mallard show. Taking a call in a while.
You know, by the way, I gotta pay off the
malarula to day.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
What am I doing here? I told my Armie story.
I didn't pay off the malaruale. Here's the malarrila day.
Blackhawks rookie Connor Badard forgot his blank before warm ups
ahead of his much anticipated NHL debut. That is the
Mallard riddle of the day. Let's see does anyone know
the answer? And we'll go page down. Malard prop guy
says he forgot his lumber.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
What else do we have?
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Page down? Page down? Forgot to eat his Rocky Mountain oysters.
Guess by the sawman, that's his answer. Ferg Weasel says
the password to his Ferg dog based Burner accounts, no
wonder I am in Twitter jail. Wait a minute, did
Ferg Cat get banned also? And Ferg Dog? I don't
(20:27):
know what else we have page down here. Calligan Tim
in Michigan says he forgot his unicorn he said jumping
over a rainbow tattoo, and he also forgot something else
Hall of Fame name.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
I guess by some uneke. I think that was for
something else.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Just Josh in Cincinnati says he forgot to turn off
the oven before leaving the house. Well, I have done
that before. Alf the Alien Opiner says he forgot his
lucky Chuck Booms Jersey, that's a great name from Fox
Sports Radio, passed his childhood comfort Blankye from Fudgie in Boston,
(21:05):
and also cool mort went with Blankie as his answer.

Speaker 2 (21:44):
Yeah, that's like us forgetting our headphones.
Speaker 6 (21:47):
Yeah, he's he's drafted because he's a scorer, right.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Yeah, yeah, he's esuppociedly a prolific score. Maybe he thought
he could just kick the puck.

No distinct kicking motion. That is a no.

Speaker 5 (26:45):
It's another Ben Maller game.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
We've endured too many of this.
Speaker 5 (26:49):
Is it too much or not enough enough?
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Already too much? Not enough?
Speaker 2 (26:53):
Every week at about this time. The easiest game in radio.
We used to have this caller named Hollering James who
was leaping and got this right.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
He won the game will sleeping.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
We gave his his answers were based on his snores
and it was amazing, amazing, one of the greatest bits
we've ever done in the history of the show. Let's
welcome in architestant from the great state of Ohio. We
welcome in Mitchell.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Hello, Mitchell, Hey, what's up, Big Ben. Mitchell's a show legend.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
He's got some of the greatest answers in game show
history as well. You out working early, Mitchell. You're still
doing the running around, hustling, Yeah.
Speaker 7 (27:31):
Passing, the papers until they got a business anyway, But hey,
either people always talk about how long they've been listed
and whatever.
Speaker 8 (27:37):
I'll tell you.
Speaker 7 (27:37):
The first time I listened to your show, I was
looking for I'd heard a rumor about Lebron going back
to Cleveland from Miami, and I slipped over to AA
and think there might be something on there. That's how
I found your show, and I've been listening ever since.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Oh, the rest is history there. You probably go back
to Magi. You remember enough were you were.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
You listening when Maggie called in from Cleveland with her
dad and she said, go to Hell, Lebron.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
That was when Lebron. Well, probably not, that was when
Lebron went to Miami. It's like, yeah, yeah, let's play. No, No,
it was go to Hell Lebron James Bill Miller. No,
that's not it. That's the wrong one. All right. Anyway,
let's play the game here. Mitchell in Ohio, good luck
to you.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
You gotta get three right to win the game. All
the answers are either too much or not enough. Corey
Seeger has reached base safely three times or more in
five consecutive playoff games. He's only the sixth player in
baseball history to accomplish that. Is that too much or
not enough?
Speaker 1 (28:39):
It's Mitchell right, No, too much.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
He's only a fourth player to do it, joins Edgar Martinez,
Barry Bonds, and David Ortiz question number two. Earlier this week,
Jose Altuve, the Cheater, had his twenty eighth career multi
hit game.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
In the postseason. Pretty good for a cheat. Is that
too much or not enough?
Speaker 7 (29:01):
Too much?
Speaker 1 (29:02):
All right, Mitchell, Let's see if you're back squared up here? Mitchell,
Oh boy, not enough? This is going great.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
It was only his thirty second career multi hit game
playoff game, passing Manny Ramirez for third, So thirty two,
not twenty eight as was in the question Question number three.
I gotta stay alive, gotta get this one right. The
forty nine ers have scored thirty or more points and
five consecutive games. Is that too much or not enough?
(29:32):
For the San Francisco football team?
Speaker 8 (29:37):
Too much?
Speaker 1 (29:41):
Miche, Mitchell, he just got all three questions wrong.
Speaker 6 (29:47):
It's like the Dodgers with runners in scoring position there?
Speaker 1 (29:50):
What is this, Mookie Betts. I'm telling you not enough.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
They have actually scored thirty more points in eight consecutive games.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
It's the fifth longest streak in NFL history. Well, I
enjoyed talking to Mitchell. I'm glad you listen every night.
Thank you for that. I do appreciate it.
Speaker 7 (30:06):
Hey, what they gonna put your show on Peacock. I've
been looking for that. Mark.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
Wow, I don't know. Well is long? I think what fat? Yeah? Exackly. Well,
my plan, Mitchell is if the show does well.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
It's doing pretty well right now, so if we can
make it through the season without any without getting canceled.
We've already made it five weeks without getting canceled.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
The plan is to pitch.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
I'm gonna I'm gonna meet with him at the end
of the year and I'll pitch the end of the
football season. I'll pitch to try to get it on
Peacock next year. But it's not on there unfortunately right now.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
But thank you, Mitchell. I know you've been with me
a long time. All right, there, he goes Mitchell. We've
got the I need to quit game. We did.
Speaker 2 (30:41):

Do we have an upbeat, enthusiastic and efficient Iowa Minute

lean as turkey bacon, which is is something you will eat.
Speaker 5 (32:22):
Ben.

That's right. I do eat turkey bacon. I do like
this of turkey bacon.
Speaker 9 (32:26):
What about the beef bacon. Will eat beef bacon.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
I do eat beef bacon as well. I do eat
all right, very nice product, all.
Speaker 9 (32:32):
That, all the above, all right, and I'd like to
welcome in Steve de Segre to this Iowa Minute. But
I don't think this is your first ride on the
ISLA minute.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
Is it, Steve?
Speaker 6 (32:40):
No, I have heard the Iowa Minute and enjoyed it before,
and I will, as a shill for the company say
that Iowa was on Fox TV this weekend.
Speaker 9 (32:48):
Yes, and I'll get to that very as two of you.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
Well, Steve told me off there he likes the South
Dakota Minute more.
Speaker 9 (32:54):
Well, actually I have a little bit of that too.
Just you eat voting formore the great thing, yes, Mount Rush,
where we get all these states involved because they all
they all orbit around the Iowa minute. All right, well, listen, guys,
always got to start the io mint with some harvest
news when we are indeed in harvest season. I know
people like Ferg Cat, Ferg Dog, and Ferg Rooster crave
(33:16):
this kind of information, and people in Boston and San
Diego they need this information, damn it. Crop yields been
surprisingly healthy despite an ongoing drought during the growing season. However,
some agronomists in the state worry about stock strength, which
can make harvesting more difficult if the weak cornstock falls
over due to wind.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
I've always I stay up all night worried about that.
Speaker 9 (33:40):
Yeah, I know it's a show.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
I could sleep during the show. No one's listening.
Speaker 9 (33:44):
Did you ever dream of becoming an agronomist as a child,
Ben Uh?
Speaker 2 (33:48):
Yes, yes, I thought it was either that or play
first base for the Dodge.
Speaker 9 (33:52):
Yeah, and he ended up being a sports radio host.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
Total loser.
Speaker 6 (33:56):
And like all first basemen for the Dodgers, you too
can run for cent well.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
Much like Dodger. I don't hit in the playoffs either,
So there you go.
Speaker 9 (34:04):
Put on pump the corn and soybean harvest continue it
run ahead of schedule with about twenty eight percent of
soybeans harvested in thirty percent of corn. There is a
bit of pressure on the state's farmers to harvest the
soybeans as fast as possible as the average beat the
average bean moisture. Easier for me to say, bean moisturi
(34:25):
is ideal. What do you think about bean moisture?
Speaker 7 (34:27):
Ben?
Speaker 2 (34:27):
Back when I played football, I was very worried about
bean moisture. But it's an adult, not so much.
Speaker 9 (34:32):
Yeah, you gotta keep it aired out down there, go
to the gym every once so while. Got to make
sure you get your beans aired out.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
You know what that musty sense.
Speaker 9 (34:41):
No, no heart, heart and nuts is right. That's the
that's the title of the show for today. Well, for
the first time in this short Iowa Minute season here
on the Ben Malor Show, and for the first time
all football season, all four members of the Iowa Minute
were winners last Saturday.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
Oh this is big, you know.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
They followed down, They followed the Joe Madden mantra, try
not to suck?
Speaker 1 (35:04):
Right, wasn't that Joe Joe Madden's try not to suck?
Speaker 11 (35:08):
It?
Speaker 6 (35:08):
Was it crazy?
Speaker 9 (35:10):
And uh and listen, I don't know if it's because
the ioam inn It has returned here on the Ben
Maller Show.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
But give me the Drake. Do I need the drake?

Yes, either that or some NBC cable channel. Yes, very nice?
Speaker 9 (37:34):
All right, and listen. Drake Drac host Saint Thomas of
Minnesota and Northern Iowa goes to jack around with the
rabbits of number one South Dakota State in billing South Dakota.
Speaker 6 (37:44):
That's a good team.
Speaker 1 (37:45):
I have fun with that. You gotta pull a rabbit
out of the hat on that one.
Speaker 9 (37:48):
That's gonna be a tough one. And all Bill Belichick
drops on the ISO minute are brought to you by up.
Speaker 5 (37:52):
To the minute Grain Prices.
Speaker 9 (37:54):
All right, we got about a minute. Let's close out.
We have one Iowa minute left.
Speaker 1 (37:58):
I thought it was already the Iowa minute. We've already
done six minutes.
Speaker 9 (38:01):
Let's let's uh, let's close with something fun. If you
weren't having fun already, we go to Minneapolis Saint Paul
International Airport, where an official, very very nice airport, an
official with Customs and Border Patrol found something pretty gross.
Turns out, an Iowa woman returning on a trip from
Kenya try to smuggle giraffe feaces into the United States.
Speaker 1 (38:21):
What's wrong with that?
Speaker 9 (38:22):
Oh, well, you need special permission to take international dung
into the States according to our laws. This woman wanted
to make a necklace out of the giraffes droppings. Quite
the dollar, and according to reports, she has made necklaces
out of animal dung before.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
What a hobby, what a cat?
Speaker 9 (38:41):
Yes, you could call this pooh nonsense, a bunch of
riff raft, or you could call it riff giraffe hell
Hello and welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our numb birth three, a hodgepodge of an hour
three Malor monologue. As we skim through the headlines, bouncing
around like a metal ball and a pinball machine. We
start in the NBA, where Dame Time is taking another
shot at the Trailblazers. What did Dame Lillard accomplish with
(00:24):
his latest rants about the Portland basketball team? What are
the chances that Major League Baseball legend Steve Garvey the
Garv wins the race to be a senator, a United
States Senator from California? And how do you evaluate the
NHL banning all on ice theme nights after some brew
(00:47):
ha haas in recent years we talk about that as well.
Also the Iowa Minute's coming your way right now here.
It is our number three, still blazing.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Even though you're a buck.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Welme come in the beginning of another hour.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Of the Ben Malor Show.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
As we are in the air everywhere under the sheets,
as we know the script coast to coast, border, the
border and beyond on the mast and unrealistically powerful microphones
of fsr ammnating live from the tongue, the slip of
(01:30):
the tongue.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
We are broadcasting live from the tyraq dot com studios.
Tyrack dot com will help you get there in unmatched selection,
fast free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten
thousand recommended installers. Tyraq dot com the way tire buying
should be. So we are gonna bounce around like a
(01:52):
racketball bouncing around a racketball court.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Hopefully we don't hit any mouse traps here, but earlead.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
We'll start with pro bouncy as we get closer to
the start of the regular season. I think we're two
weeks away from the start of the NBA season, a
little less than that.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
And our lead comes from what time zone.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
It's not Eastern Time, it's not Central Time, it's not Mountain,
not Pacific.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
It's Dame Time.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
That's where the Milwaukee Bucks star is still throwing haymakers
at his former employer, the Portland basketball team. Now, if
you didn't hear this or didn't see it, Dame Lillard
recently said that he believes the Portland front office did
him dirty.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
They dead him dirty. That's what he said, in so
many words.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
I popped up on state sponsored NBA radio recently and
he commented about his wishes to go to South Florida
and how he told the Blazers everything.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Take a listen.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
Oh, I was like, okay, this where I want to go, said,
you would help me get to where I want to go.
So it got to the point where it was like
no communication to that team.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
All right, So here's the other sound by here that
I wanted, the one about his plans to go to
the Heat.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
I don't think it was a secret that Miami was
where I wanted to go when I asked for a trade, and.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Yeah, all right, so here's the deal. Those were out
of order, but you get the point. Anyway, I was
building up to the crescendo. Unfortunately we didn't get that.
But that last one, which we played first, I got
to the point where it was like no communication to
that team, Lillard said in that second sound by talking
about which was really the first sound by that we
played about not talking with the Heat. So let us
(03:41):
discuss very confusing, but stay with me the question what
did Dame Lillard accomplish with his rant where he complained
again paraphrasing, that the Blazer's front office did him dirty.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
He had told the Heat.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
I told the Blazers he wanted to play for the heat.
The Blazers were aware of that, and they were going
to capitch a late and help him out, and then,
as it turned out, they did not. All right, So, uh,
first of all, I've got I've got Cockroach Reverend and
LeVar Ball. Cockroach Reverend and LeVar Ball, and we will
(04:17):
connect everything together and stay jigsaw puzzles pieces together. So
first of all, Damian Lillard letting some steam off. Letting
some steam off, now doing some image management, and.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
I get it right.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
He's he's molding things in his direction. From from what
we've heard, it's a lot more complicated, and it's like
the rule of drama. Everything's more complicated and messy than
it needs to be. And the Lillard story, from what
I've been told, it's a triangle. Much like many of
these things we talk about. There's three sides to the story. There,
(04:55):
in this case is Damian Lillard's side to the story.
There is the Blazer's side to the story, and then
there's the truth. And so here's what I've been able
to decipher from sending random text messages to people who
are very plugged in and the streets have been talking,
and from what I've gathered Portland was prepared to give
(05:17):
Dame Lillard what he wanted to send him to Miami,
and then his agent. Dame Lillard's agent finagled and gave
some comments to the media that rubbed several big Grand
poohbas there in Portland the wrong way. And it was
at that point that the Blazers pivoted right. That the
(05:40):
agent tossed a cockroach into the South Beach salad that
Damian Lillard was going to get, and Lillard's agent had
embarrassed the franchise. And so once you embarrass someone, we
all know how this works for us human nature. You
embarrass someone and hell, hath no fury like some one
who's been humiliated. And so boundaries were broken. At least
(06:03):
that's the procession. Maybe they're wrong on that.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
I wasn't there, but the perception is that the agent
crossed the line by making some threatening comments publicly when
they had kind of an under the table deal that
this is what was gonna happen, And that's when the
Blazers decided, you know what, We're gonna go this other direction.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Screw you, We're not gonna deal with you to where
you want to go.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
And by the way, Damian Lillard managed to not only
rip Portland, but the Bucks also ended up catching some
strays on this because he repeated again he didn't really
want to go to Wisconsin. He's in Wisconsin, but he
his heart and his son Tan Lotion are in Miami
all right now. Secondly to the Golden State, we go
where a baseball icon of years gone by is back
(06:47):
on our radar again, known as a Dodger legend who
went to wear that Taco uniform in San Diego with
the Padres, Steve Garvey. If you're of a certain age,
he was a big deal in the nineteen in seventies
and the early eighties. Steve Garvey announced this week that
he is running for United States Senate. He's running for
(07:08):
a candidacy for the United States Senate. There's a open
seat in California. He's going to run as a Republican
in the twenty twenty four election. Now this is not
a political show, but this is someone that I've dealt
with a little bit over the years. I didn't deal
with Garvey when he was a player, obviously I was
too young for that. But being in the media and
(07:29):
being around the Dodgers a lot of the years. I've
run into Garvey several times. I've had some wonderful conversations
with Steve. I've interviewed him on the radio a few
times over the years. So Garvey is seventy four years
old now, and he is seeking to replace Diane Feinstein,
who died last month. And so Garvey's never been a politician,
(07:51):
at least formally. He's never run for public office. And
he has worked a little bit as a lobbyist from
what I understand, where he's been sent to Washington the
lobby for certain things. So what are the chances in
the MLB legend Steve Garvey wins the race to be
a United States Senator. So I'm going to set the
(08:12):
Malor Sportsbook odds on Steve Garvey actually becoming a senator.
I'm gonna set this at plus forty five hundred, which.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Implies about about a two percent chance. And I'm being generous.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
I'm being very generous here because Garvey, in order to
win office, needs a reverend to come in and provide
a buffet of our fathers and Hill Mary's is what
he needs because he is in the wrong political party
in the People's Republic of California, California.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
I mean, he's pretty much dead on arrival.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
He's running Garvey as a Republican and the Democrat voters
outnumber of Republicans by two to one. To give you
an idea what kind of odds Garvey's facing. The last time,
the last time a non Democrat won a Republican one
in California any kind of US Senate.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Race was nineteen eighty eight.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Was the last time Garvey was I think a year
removed from playing.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
I think he stopped playing in nineteen eighty seven.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
I believe maybe it was eighty six, but it was
around that time, so he was only a couple of
years after, a year or so after he had stopped playing.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
And so listen, it's gonna be interesting.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
I will tell you from my conversations with Garvey over
the years, he is very political. He's very smooth when
he talks to the media and he talks to fans.
He's very polished, which is what many politicians, that's what
they are right there. I'm not saying he's phony, but
I'm saying he's phony in a way, which is actually
a good thing when you run for political office. But
(09:49):
good luck, good luck on that. Now, final five, we
visit the land of the Samboni. Now you might be saying, hey,
maybe I'll do a monologue the start of the hockey season,
the regular season underway.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
They drive the puck no no, no, no, no, the.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Rare and appropriate the rare and appropriate mention with the
season underway. Because some news here it's a third rail moment.
I don't even think this is the third rail. I
don't think this is the third rail. So we've learned
the NHL has outlawed those on ice theme nights, you know,
and they pull out a different cause and they have
(10:24):
ticket packages and they have special jerseys and things. So
the NHL, on the eve of the start of the season,
which is now underway, we are told they sent a
memo out to all members of the cartel and they
updated the guidance. They barred any on ice uniforms or
gear for these theme nights, and that includes in warm
(10:46):
ups the theme night, the tape that some of the
guys who put on their sticks for whatever the theme
of the night was. Now this has caused some major
blowback against Gary Bettman and the NHL. So how do
you evaluate the NHL banning on ice theme nights.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
So here's how I evaluated this is a major win
for the people.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Years ago in twenty twenty, when every sports league was
trying to outwoke each other and people were saying, well,
we just want to watch. The sports were not really
into you shoving your agenda down our throat. It's a
lesson learned, right. The NHL tried like everyone and they
went full woke, just like the NBA did. And they
remember the NBA had all the slogans on the court
in the uniform and then they had to get rid
(11:32):
of those because people were not watching and it was
a problem. And so they're like, you know, well, I
don't think we'll do that anymore. Well, the NHL, I
guess it took a little bit longer here, but a
number of players complained. There were some very prominent players
from mother Russia who said, listen, if we wear this,
we can go back to Russia and they'll mess with
(11:53):
our toes or they'll they'll screw.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Somebody up in our family.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
But generally, just it caused some pre and bad pr
and you know, these people react, that's what they react, right,
They react to pr And so Gary Bettman became flustered
and his minions of underlings and they decided, well, the
calculations that we had were wrong. So they had an
(12:19):
epiphany and they stopped trying to pacify everyone. And and
really the people that are the most upset are the
activists and the special interest groups. And if they're upset,
that's probably not a bad thing. That's probably not a
bad thing. But as LeVar Ball said, stay in your lanes.
So that's the lesson, right. I remember there was a
famous line, you just shut up and dribble. Well, this
is the hockey's version of just shut up and skates.
(12:42):
Know your limits, right, and the customers tune in for
the hockey.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Right.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
It's like when you go to a burger place, you
want the burger. You know, if you give other stuff,
it's probably not gonna be as good. And so sir,
if they want the hockey, serve the hockey, and whatever
your agenda of the week is or the agenda of
the month, you can you can probably do that somewhere
else if you're if you're so inclined to do that.
So bravo, bravo to the NHL for doing it, and
(13:08):
a good job by them, and I imagine we'll see
more and more of this as we go forward. All right,
it is the Ben Malor Show. If you would like
to be part, you can join us here. We have
not taken a lot of calls. I'm not gonna lie
to you.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
It's been mostly me and Di Seger Barkin.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
But there are people on hold and we will try
to work you into the conversation if you're patient. I
can't guarantee anything, but we've we haven't talked me into
saga in a long time, and we're catching up on
old stories.
Speaker 6 (13:35):
Oh sure, blame it on me.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Yes, it's all Steve de Sega. I learned that from
Arnie Spaniar. He taught me that the snicking genius.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Told me that went in doubt. Blame Steve to say.
Speaker 6 (13:45):
Arnie Spanier can still be heard on these Fox Sports
radio airwaves every late Sunday.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Night, but not here.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Arnie cannot He cannot be heard here because he cannot
stand the Mallard Militia. No so absolutely, yes, he's afraid
of the Malad militia the correct verb.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Yes.
Speaker 7 (14:02):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
So the company has asked him to fill in for me,
and he says, I will not do it.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
I cannot handle these knuckleheads that.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
That are part of the show. So h it's fascinating. Anyway,
We'll press on and we By.
Speaker 6 (14:14):
The way, Arnie is the only guy that gets to
see his Arizona Wildcats on the PAC twelve network. It's
available in Vermont, where he lives, it's not available.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
I'll have to.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Run my Arnie story by you because I do have
a new Arnie story which you do not know about.
But here's the here's the Mallard riddle of the day.
Here it is the Mallard Riddle of the day. So
a big story in the hockey world. This is the
next the next chosen one, the next savior of hockey
for the Chicago Blackhawks rookie Connor Badard. He made his
debut here Connor Bandard against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Now Blackhawks
(14:48):
rookie Connor Bandard forgot his blank before warm ups ahead
of his NHL debut. Again, Blackhawks hot shot rookie Connor Badar,
the next big thing in the NHL, forgot his blank
before warm ups ahead of his National Hockey League debut.
That is the Malor riddle of the day. Not a
repeat by the way, the answer, we'll get to it.
(15:09):
We'll do it next.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
I and thank Commissioner Gary Batman. Oh boy.

Speaker 1 (15:53):
There correct the.
Speaker 6 (15:54):
Rip rowing time after all the NFL games.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Yeah, yeah, it's a great show. And it's my lead
in when I come in here and bark on.
Speaker 6 (16:01):
That's right, it's the JB before the Varsity.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
No, but I love Arnie, you know much like you.
I've known you many years. I've known Arnie many years. Arnie.
Speaker 6 (16:09):
Arnie has been on every other station in America over
the years.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Yeah, Arnie famously came to LA Radio in the beginning
of the Shaq Kobe era and proceeded to rip both
Kobe and Shack while they went out and won three championships,
which provided great theater.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Just for me.
Speaker 6 (16:28):
He used to yell into the microphone, Hey, Laker fans,
Yeah it was.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
It was legendary. So I've known Arnie many, many years.
So here's the story to say. I don't think you've
heard this.
Speaker 6 (16:39):
He still claims he could have owned the Lakers now
since he went to school with Genie Buss at Palisades
and hey, if I had just asked her out.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
I think I'm closer to owning the Lakers because I
got along with Jay Moore when he worked here, and
now he's married the Genie.
Speaker 6 (16:54):
I'm even closer because I've worked with both of them.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
There you go, there you go.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
But anyway, so, so when I was back in Boston
and we were meeting with the NBC people about doing
the TV show, and I had to film some stuff.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
So I was back there, and I love New England.
I don't go there enough, and so.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
I was like, all right, well, I'll I stayed a
couple extra days and so I had some time and
I was visiting my friends I don't see very very
often there in the Northeast, and so I was like,
you know, I want to I'd love to catch up
with Arnie, you know.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
I was like, why not.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
He's over in Vermont, that's not that far away. So
I send Arnie a text. I'm like, hey, you know,
what's what's going on?
Speaker 1 (17:31):
What are you up to. Let's let's do lunch, like
on Thursday or something like that. I get a text back,
who's this.
Speaker 8 (17:43):
Wow?
Speaker 6 (17:47):
So he didn't I didn't.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Say, well, no, But here's the funny thing. He had
he had the same number as when I worked with
him in the nineties. He hadn't changed his number. He
just deleted my number from his phone. And I did
delete his number. I don't delete anyone's number if you're
in my phone, even when you die, Like I have,
I have people. I have Tommy Lasorda's phone number still
on my phone. I have Joe McDonald's phone number La
(18:10):
Radio Legends still.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
On my phone.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
It doesn't matter when you that's my tribute. That's a
silent tribute. When you die, you're in my phone for
the rest of the.
Speaker 6 (18:16):
Time, I still have Dianne Feinstein's number in your phone.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
I did not know. I don't think that made it
soon too soon.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Yeah, although she probably passed away a couple years ago,
we just didn't know about it. But but anyway, all right,
so so so I I finally he I guess he
called somebody at the company here and said, who's who's
this number?
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Somebody here at Fox Sports Radio. So then they told
him is oh Ben you know? And so I heard yeah. Yeah.
So then I was like, well, I'm in Boston, you know,
and I'm driving around. I just want to seeing people.
I'd like to go to lunch.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
And so he then tells me that where he the
town he's in in Vermont, is like a three hour
drive one way, so it would be six hours. It
was like over three. I was like, I'm not, you know, no,
no way, I'm not.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
I'm not. I love Arnie, but I don't love him
that much. Drive. I'm not spending seven hours in the
car to have a one hour lunch.
Speaker 6 (19:05):
It needs to be the best lunch you have ever
had in your life.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Exactly exactly.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
So he didn't see him, But next time, I think
we'll I still won't drive all the way to his house,
but maybe maybe we'll like meet halfway.
Speaker 6 (19:17):
Or I will say he married up because his wife
gets the best Christmas gifts mailed to our office, to
people on the air, to our studios with Vermont maple syrup.
And yes, some people get those.
Speaker 9 (19:29):
Yeah everyone, he's the Heisenberg of maple syrup around here.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Yeah, the King the great Arny Spad. Al Right, it
is the Bane Mallard show. Taking a call in a while.
You know, by the way, I gotta pay off the
malarula to day.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
What am I doing here? I told my Armie story.
I didn't pay off the malaruale. Here's the malarrila day.
Blackhawks rookie Connor Badard forgot his blank before warm ups
ahead of his much anticipated NHL debut. That is the
Mallard riddle of the day. Let's see does anyone know
the answer? And we'll go page down. Malard prop guy
says he forgot his lumber.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
What else do we have?
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Page down? Page down? Forgot to eat his Rocky Mountain oysters.
Guess by the sawman, that's his answer. Ferg Weasel says
the password to his Ferg dog based Burner accounts, no
wonder I am in Twitter jail. Wait a minute, did
Ferg Cat get banned also? And Ferg Dog? I don't
(20:27):

in Michigan says he forgot his unicorn he said jumping
over a rainbow tattoo, and he also forgot something else
Hall of Fame name.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
I guess by some uneke. I think that was for
something else.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Just Josh in Cincinnati says he forgot to turn off
the oven before leaving the house. Well, I have done
that before. Alf the Alien Opiner says he forgot his
lucky Chuck Booms Jersey, that's a great name from Fox
Sports Radio, passed his childhood comfort Blankye from Fudgie in Boston,
(21:05):
and also cool mort went with Blankie as his answer.
He forgot to lace his skates from econ Roseville, Minnesota.
Forgot his lucky underwear guess by Rob in Minnesota. Courtesy

Turns out that Connor Bdard going out to the ice
pregame warm ups NHLW Chicago Blackhawks.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Forgot his stick. He forgot his stick.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Yeah, that's like us forgetting our headphones.
Speaker 6 (21:47):
Yeah, he's he's drafted because he's a scorer, right.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Yeah, yeah, he's esuppociedly a prolific score. Maybe he thought
he could just kick the puck.
Speaker 6 (21:57):
No distinct kicking motion. That is a no.

You listening when Maggie called in from Cleveland with her
dad and she said, go to Hell, Lebron.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
That was when Lebron. Well, probably not, that was when
Lebron went to Miami. It's like, yeah, yeah, let's play. No, No,
it was go to Hell Lebron James Bill Miller. No,
that's not it. That's the wrong one. All right. Anyway,
let's play the game here. Mitchell in Ohio, good luck
to you.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
You gotta get three right to win the game. All
the answers are either too much or not enough. Corey
Seeger has reached base safely three times or more in
five consecutive playoff games. He's only the sixth player in
baseball history to accomplish that. Is that too much or
not enough?
Speaker 1 (28:39):
It's Mitchell right, No, too much.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
He's only a fourth player to do it, joins Edgar Martinez,
Barry Bonds, and David Ortiz question number two. Earlier this week,
Jose Altuve, the Cheater, had his twenty eighth career multi
hit game.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
In the postseason. Pretty good for a cheat. Is that
too much or not enough?
Speaker 7 (29:01):
Too much?
Speaker 1 (29:02):
All right, Mitchell, Let's see if you're back squared up here? Mitchell,
Oh boy, not enough? This is going great.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
It was only his thirty second career multi hit game
playoff game, passing Manny Ramirez for third, So thirty two,
not twenty eight as was in the question Question number three.
I gotta stay alive, gotta get this one right. The
forty nine ers have scored thirty or more points and
five consecutive games. Is that too much or not enough?
(29:32):
For the San Francisco football team?
Speaker 8 (29:37):
Too much?
Speaker 1 (29:41):
Miche, Mitchell, he just got all three questions wrong.
Speaker 6 (29:47):
It's like the Dodgers with runners in scoring position there?
Speaker 1 (29:50):
What is this, Mookie Betts. I'm telling you not enough.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
They have actually scored thirty more points in eight consecutive games.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
It's the fifth longest streak in NFL history. Well, I
enjoyed talking to Mitchell. I'm glad you listen every night.
Thank you for that. I do appreciate it.
Speaker 7 (30:06):
Hey, what they gonna put your show on Peacock. I've
been looking for that. Mark.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
Wow, I don't know. Well is long? I think what fat? Yeah? Exackly. Well,
my plan, Mitchell is if the show does well.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
It's doing pretty well right now, so if we can
make it through the season without any without getting canceled.
We've already made it five weeks without getting canceled.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
The plan is to pitch.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
I'm gonna I'm gonna meet with him at the end
of the year and I'll pitch the end of the
football season. I'll pitch to try to get it on
Peacock next year. But it's not on there unfortunately right now.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
But thank you, Mitchell. I know you've been with me
a long time. All right, there, he goes Mitchell. We've
got the I need to quit game. We did.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
That is true because Iowa Sam is going to take
up the rest of the hour, as Larry King would say,
for the rest of the hour. Yeah, Iowa a minute

seconds left in the Iowa Minute. Forty seconds to go Iowa,
Sam boy, I want the pork belly report, is what
I want.
Speaker 9 (32:12):
Do we have an upbeat, enthusiastic and efficient Iowa Minute
for you today? Right, It's going to be as lean
lean as turkey bacon, which is is something you will eat.
Speaker 5 (32:22):
Ben.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
That's right. I do eat turkey bacon. I do like
this of turkey bacon.
Speaker 9 (32:26):
What about the beef bacon. Will eat beef bacon.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
I do eat beef bacon as well. I do eat
all right, very nice product, all.
Speaker 9 (32:32):
That, all the above, all right, and I'd like to
welcome in Steve de Segre to this Iowa Minute. But
I don't think this is your first ride on the
ISLA minute.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
Is it, Steve?
Speaker 6 (32:40):
No, I have heard the Iowa Minute and enjoyed it before,
and I will, as a shill for the company say
that Iowa was on Fox TV this weekend.
Speaker 9 (32:48):
Yes, and I'll get to that very as two of you.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
Well, Steve told me off there he likes the South
Dakota Minute more.
Speaker 9 (32:54):
Well, actually I have a little bit of that too.
Just you eat voting formore the great thing, yes, Mount Rush,
where we get all these states involved because they all
they all orbit around the Iowa minute. All right, well, listen, guys,
always got to start the io mint with some harvest
news when we are indeed in harvest season. I know
people like Ferg Cat, Ferg Dog, and Ferg Rooster crave
(33:16):
this kind of information, and people in Boston and San
Diego they need this information, damn it. Crop yields been
surprisingly healthy despite an ongoing drought during the growing season. However,
some agronomists in the state worry about stock strength, which
can make harvesting more difficult if the weak cornstock falls
over due to wind.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
I've always I stay up all night worried about that.
Speaker 9 (33:40):
Yeah, I know it's a show.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
I could sleep during the show. No one's listening.
Speaker 9 (33:44):
Did you ever dream of becoming an agronomist as a child,
Ben Uh?
Speaker 2 (33:48):
Yes, yes, I thought it was either that or play
first base for the Dodge.
Speaker 9 (33:52):
Yeah, and he ended up being a sports radio host.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
Total loser.
Speaker 6 (33:56):
And like all first basemen for the Dodgers, you too
can run for cent well.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
Much like Dodger. I don't hit in the playoffs either,
So there you go.
Speaker 9 (34:04):
Put on pump the corn and soybean harvest continue it
run ahead of schedule with about twenty eight percent of
soybeans harvested in thirty percent of corn. There is a
bit of pressure on the state's farmers to harvest the
soybeans as fast as possible as the average beat the
average bean moisture. Easier for me to say, bean moisturi
(34:25):
is ideal. What do you think about bean moisture?
Speaker 7 (34:27):
Ben?
Speaker 2 (34:27):
Back when I played football, I was very worried about
bean moisture. But it's an adult, not so much.
Speaker 9 (34:32):
Yeah, you gotta keep it aired out down there, go
to the gym every once so while. Got to make
sure you get your beans aired out.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
You know what that musty sense.
Speaker 9 (34:41):
No, no heart, heart and nuts is right. That's the
that's the title of the show for today. Well, for
the first time in this short Iowa Minute season here
on the Ben Malor Show, and for the first time
all football season, all four members of the Iowa Minute
were winners last Saturday.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
Oh this is big, you know.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
They followed down, They followed the Joe Madden mantra, try
not to suck?
Speaker 1 (35:04):
Right, wasn't that Joe Joe Madden's try not to suck?
Speaker 11 (35:08):
It?
Speaker 6 (35:08):
Was it crazy?
Speaker 9 (35:10):
And uh and listen, I don't know if it's because
the ioam inn It has returned here on the Ben
Maller Show.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
But give me the Drake. Do I need the drake?
