Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our name Berth.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Three Ready to go in pro bouncy ball Land, and
we talk about the big transaction of the week. Will
James Harden find his happy place with the Clippers? Also,
what is your riakchorton to the pungents who are unloading
on the clips for trading away the almighty all powerful

(00:28):
draft picks. In a separate matter, who will the seventy
six ers be able to get to pacify Joel Ebiid?
They are said to be looking for another headliner to
come to the Delaware Valley. We'll talk about all of
those stories. We have the very popular Mather Riddle of
the day and also the Iowa Minute.

Speaker 1 (00:50):
All coming your way right here in our.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
Number three here it is everything is rosy well come
in the beginning of another hour of the Ben Malor Show.

Speaker 1 (01:07):
We are in the everywhere the Mallard Monarchy as we
take our medication coast to coast, border.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
The water and beyond on the bast and overwhelmingly powerful
microphones of fs are ambinating live from the hour the
overnight Amateur Hour, as we are broadcasting live from the

headline from pro Bouncy ball Land. The post mortem on

(01:58):
the Big James Hardentree as Harden took a crow bar
to the Sixers locker room escape the Great Escape, and
unlike Dame Lillard who wanted to play in Miami and
is now hanging out in Wisconsin, James Harden wanted to
play for the People's team and he is headed to
the Clip joint trade not official official, your word is.

Speaker 1 (02:20):
It will likely be made official later.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
On on Wednesday here and will Harden make his debut
Wednesday night as a Clipper developing hot dot dot Dot
Clippers and Lakers the Hallway series continuing, which, of course
we know the Clippers run LA and they own the Lakers,
but we'll see if Harden shows up or not. But
the trade, while it has not officially been approved, the

(02:43):
reaction coming around as the brass in New York try
to work out the dotting of the eyes and the
crossing of the teas. Now James Harden has spoken out
about the trade saying that you don't understand how excited
he is after being traded to the Clippers. He's mister

(03:07):
happy happy, happy, happy, happy happy. But there is noise
that the Beard's attitude ultimately will be the undoing of
the Los Angeles basketball team. And now he has tossed
into the mix with Kawhi PG thirteen and Russell Westbrook,
who surprisingly has played pretty well as a Clipper. I'm

(03:28):
shocked by that. I thought he would suck, but he
actually hasn't. I don't understand how that has happened. But anyway,
many people are wondering how all of the stars are
going to align in the Milky Way. So let us
discuss the question will James Harden seamlessly fit in to
the good ship clip? So I've got board game, Mattel toys,

(03:54):
and bear jamboree, and we will combine all of these
things to get and we will go to the barber shop,
unless we won't, because if James Harden ever cut his beard,
he would lose his identity. Has there been another athlete
in the last fifteen years or so, maybe the last

(04:15):
thirty years that is identified as much with their facial
hair as James Harden, And if you saw what he
looked like when he played at Arizona State, you would
know why he has the beard.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
I'm not saying it was nasty now because I'm ugly.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
I do radio, you know I do TV now too,
But the radio thing is my bread and butter.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
But Harden, my goofy are looking. Goofy, goofy, goofy.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
All right, So, first of all, to answer the question,
will James Harden seamlessly fit into the good ship clap,
I would not use the word seamlessly. I would use
the word turbulence. I would use the word service.

Speaker 1 (04:54):
If he was driving there, They're.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
Going to be some speed bumps here. James Harden is
gonna have to get acclimated to his new surroundings.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
But here's the deal.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
Wherever Harden has gone, he has been both uber productive
and a human firecracker. He is a connoisseur of confusion.
He is the proprietor of panic with every team he's
played for. And as good as he is at basketball,
and I'm not gonna sit here and sing a different song,
my take has not changed. He plays a wretched style

(05:26):
of basketball. It is effective, but wretched.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
It is dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble, dribble.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
Dribble, and then about seventeen seconds of that, draw foul
and take a couple of options. The ball does not
generally move around. I say that this guy led the
NBA and assists last year. But when Harden's when he's
the offensive guy, his offensive technique is to lull the
defender to sleep and draw a foul. And we'll see

(05:54):
if that act continues here. But in terms of fitting together,
this is not ultimately pre chopped veggies.

Speaker 1 (05:59):
Right. That the stars.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
Kawhi Leonard and Paul George Rubber stamped the trade, and
that's important because they would not have made this trade
without that taking place, right, because they didn't want to
rock rock the boat right. And that means they are
going to be playing the board game. The board game
called figure it out. They will have the regular season

(06:22):
to figure it out. They'll be doing that for a while,
and they have to decode what's going to work and
what doesn't work. But for those people saying, oh my god,
this is so bad, No, it's not getting a group
of talented people together. I would much rather have the
great talent and then figure it out and see if

(06:44):
they can play together, rather than have some secondary guys
that suck.

Speaker 1 (06:48):
Give me the more talented group.

Speaker 3 (06:50):
Now.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
Second, there are some doomsday types I've been reading this
take quite a bit from the pundits that are convinced
that the Clippers.

Speaker 1 (06:59):
Will be haunted.

Speaker 2 (07:02):
By this trade, that they gave up too much in
draft capital to get the rental on James Harden. So
I would like to address the Komoto dragon in the room,
the pundance. What is our reaction to the pundits ripping
the trading a way of draft picks. Now, this is

(07:23):
right in my wheelhouse. If you've listened over the time
I've been on these microphones, anyone that says, oh, you
gave up too much draft capital, draft capital.

Speaker 1 (07:35):
And air quotes bull drunk, bullpucky.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
You can never have enough great talent, and people complaining
about giving up future assets are playing with a Mattel
toy rainbow bright.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
They're chasing rainbows, is what they're doing. Draft picks.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
We have been saying it for many, many years, and
no one's listening. The amount of people who are obsessed
with draft picks.

Speaker 1 (08:00):
It's frightening. Draft picks are like lottery tickets.

Speaker 2 (08:03):
Most of them are absolutely worthless, absolutely worthless. And give
me a proven star now is hardened past his expiration day,
we will see he is no longer in his athletic prime.
He does enjoy a nice meal, and so that becomes problematic.
But the Clippers, in terms of just this trade with Philadelphia,

(08:24):
they absolutely fleeced the seventy six ers. They did in
the talent, the game of talent. The Clippers gave some
aging role players to Philadelphia and they got in return
a Hall of Fame player. And it's like Les Sneid
the Rams GM said a couple of years ago FM Picks.
Rered Arbach had a great quote back in his day,

(08:46):
the Celtic legend. He said, any coach needs talent. You
start with talent. Without talent, you're all in the soup.
So you're not in the soup when you have James Harden.
And if this doesn't work, and there's no guarantee it's
going to be happy days or here again for the Clippers.
If it doesn't work, here's what the Clippers are gonna do.

(09:07):
If it turns rotten, they will start trading away these
guys and then they'll get their little draft picks back,
if that's what you care about. They'll get their little
f and draft picks back and all that, and they'll
replenish the draft picks.

Speaker 1 (09:21):
They won't be their pick, it'll be some other teams pick.
But that's fine. A right.

Speaker 2 (09:25):
Final five, We go back to Philadelphia where we are
told the GM they're Darryl Morey is on the prowle,
the Sixers are going to go star searge As they
are already plotting who do they want.

Speaker 1 (09:39):
They're they're through back channels.

Speaker 2 (09:41):
They're trying to figure out who they're going to go after,
who they put who they're putting the bulls eye on,
and they're being praised.

Speaker 1 (09:47):
This is the same thing.

Speaker 2 (09:48):
You always have a team the trader of the draft
picks is the bad team, the team that has salary
cap space and all the assets.

Speaker 1 (09:54):
They're ready to acquire a big star in the NBA,
and I.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
Just I just shake my hand because the way it
works and the NBA is the players choose where they
want to play. The team doesn't choose the player. The
player chooses the team.

Speaker 4 (10:09):
Hello.

Speaker 2 (10:10):
So if a player wants to go to the Delaware
Valley and hang out and get a piece of property
right there in the Delaware River. That's fine, that's fine,
But who will the seventy six ers be able to
get to in theory pacify Joel Embiid and get him
to stay in Philly. So this storyline in general is
fool's gold. But in terms of Daryl Morey on the prowl,

(10:34):
it's like a bear jamboree. You're doing bear hunting, but
it's in the winner and all the bears are hibernating.
So I don't think that is a good strategy.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
I don't know. Maybe it is. You can go in
to the cave and find the bear.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
But the Sixers, the fact that they're supposed to have
fifty five point seven million dollars in salarycap space available
next summer, whooped the damn do we whoop be damn
do the salary cap space? Does not win a championship.
It doesn't guarantee anything. Draft picks certainly don't guarantee anything
in terms of who they could get that The most

(11:09):
reasonable name is Pascal Siakam, called a different name by
Marcel and Brooklyn, but the Toronto Raptor guy that's the
guy that's supposed to be the next one that's gonna
change teams. Outside of that, you think Luka Doncik is
gonna leave the Dallas Mavericks to go to Philadelphia.

Speaker 1 (11:26):
I don't.

Speaker 2 (11:27):
And then the other stars that could change teams are
aging stars like people brought up Klay Thompson from the
Golden State Wars.

Speaker 1 (11:35):
You think Clay Thomps is gonna leave the Splash Brothers
and head to Philly. I don't. And here's my advice.

Speaker 2 (11:46):
After a minute long Malord perusing of the roster, the
Malard think tank says, go in house. The most reasonable
path to a second star is already on the roster.
Tyrese MAXI. This guy was a stud at Kentucky, was
projected to be an amazing talent, and his in limited
duty been pretty deep, pretty deep, pretty good.

Speaker 1 (12:10):
And so that is your star in disguise.

Speaker 2 (12:12):
Now you gotta you gotta give this guy the opportunity
to be the second second option behind Joel Embiid.

Speaker 1 (12:19):
He's only twenty two.

Speaker 2 (12:21):
Because you're not gonna outbid phil As Philadelphia. You're not
gonna outpid Miami or LA. It is not a free
agent destination. The much more likely scenario for the Sixers
is that some other teams swoons all over Joel Embiid
and plays foot see Withinbiid and he leaves Philadelphia as

(12:41):
opposed to them getting another star with the Sixers. It
is the Ben Mahler show of you would like to
comment on any of that, you are more than welcome
big night here. We've had a coaching change in the NBA,
in the NFL rather as Josh McDaniels has been pulloxed
as co of the Raiders.

Speaker 1 (13:01):
Been texting some of my friends.

Speaker 2 (13:03):
With the Raider Nation there saying happy birthday, congratulations to you.
Had people been sending me messages to get Josh McDaniels fired,
and he has been been let go. I think in
terms of people we know at the company now, Roberto

(13:23):
was like the biggest Raider guy at the company, but
he's not around.

Speaker 1 (13:26):
I would say Ryan Smith.

Speaker 2 (13:27):
You probably don't know who that is, but Ryan works
behind the scenes here and Ryan is a huge Raider fan,
and he is he has been sending me a ton
of that stuff.

Speaker 1 (13:35):
But Danny G also, Danny G has been a huge
Raider guy.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
But I don't know if Danny's been as outspoken. I mean,
he does talk about McDaniel's and he seems like an
optimistic guy every week.

Speaker 5 (13:47):
With and Rob g. There's so many Raiders fans here.

Speaker 1 (13:51):
Really, I guess you're right, all right, I stand corrected.

Speaker 5 (13:55):
Chris Plank weekend host and yeah Oklahoma voice.

Speaker 1 (13:59):
Oh yeah. Arnie is the Dolphin fan. He's the Raider fan.
They're my leading Iowa Sam on Sunday Night, there the Great.

Speaker 2 (14:08):
And Arnie would fill in when I five days a
year I take off. He's afraid of the Mallard militias,
chase them away. You will fill in anyway if.

Speaker 1 (14:19):
You want to be part of I'll listen to you.
All right, come down, Arnie. I love that.

Speaker 2 (14:24):
I have known Arnie for a generation. I was in Boston,
Arnie lives in Vermont. I was like, hey, Arnie, let's
get together, let's let's have lunch. I text him, and
Arnie's response was, who's this. I've known the guy.

Speaker 1 (14:36):
Since the nineties and his response was, who's this?

Speaker 5 (14:39):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (14:40):
Thank you?

Speaker 3 (14:41):
All right?

the day.

Speaker 2 (16:59):
What is the So let's see does anyone know the answer?
Johnny Ray got it right, but he was obviously cheating.
So his chip and the cues, let's see page down.
Late night drug tester said, A van full of breeder
cup jockeys all right, alf the alien opiner says, A
vanful of Ben's Christmas presents says, this year is the

(17:22):

Thanksgiving pizza.

Speaker 1 (17:55):
Yuck? Is that real? I've not kept it. They have
a Thanksgiving pizza.

Speaker 5 (18:00):
I've not heard of that. And I peruse the frozen
food isle and the frozen pizza isle.

Speaker 1 (18:07):
Well, I was Sam, you'll be happy to know.

Speaker 2 (18:09):
On the Fifth Hour podcast now very popular podcast on
Saturdays or either Fridays or Saturdays.

Speaker 1 (18:15):
Depends on the week.

Speaker 2 (18:16):
But we have all kinds of food news, like new
items at fast food restaurants, foods, Jounce.

Speaker 1 (18:23):
And things like that that you can get. Try to
get free food.

Speaker 2 (18:28):
Jeff writes In says the van was full of hookers
and cocaine went in doubt, throw that out. Robin, Minnesota
says a van full of soccer moms that that was
the way to go. A white van full of freak
candy from Ryan in Maine, courtesy Flusher going with clowns.
The van was filled with clowns.

Speaker 1 (18:50):
There you go, J C.

Speaker 2 (18:52):
Wrights In, He says, the answer is a van full
of strippers, the James Harden Special. Well, JC, if you
think James Harden is the only one that likes the
ballet answers, good luck on.

Speaker 1 (19:06):
That, al right.

Speaker 2 (19:07):
The correct answer to the mallor Riddle of the Day
Hall of Fame running Back NFL Hall of Famer from
the Colts and others Edgrin James was in a van
recently spotted filled with.

Speaker 7 (19:21):
One million dollars one million dollars one dollar bills. Studio
popped up on TikTok and made the rounds.

Speaker 1 (19:36):
He said, this was a stripper bowl ready vehicle.

Speaker 5 (19:41):
Wow, one million dollar bills.

Speaker 1 (19:44):
One million one dollar bills, Yeah, which is hard to get.

Speaker 2 (19:46):
If you go into a bank, you got to call
the bank months in advance to get one million dollar
one one million one dollar bill.

Speaker 1 (19:53):
They don't just give out one million one dollar bills.

Speaker 5 (19:55):
You're gonna have to make multiple stops. This is like
trying to find those coveted two dollar bills. The bank
has so many of them.

Speaker 2 (20:02):
Apparently the video is actually old, but it came back.
It popped up here and this week and it went
viral for a second time. People forgot about the video
the first time, and it popped up again this week.
And the other person in the video is a guy
that's a music executive and he holds they apparently hold

(20:23):
every year in Miami a stripper Bowl in not the
Super Bowl, the Stripper Bowl. So I'll have to contact
my expert Rob Parker on that, but apparently that's a thing,
so and but it didn't go viral again this week.
So anyway, it is the Ben Malord Show. As we
press on and on and on, and we'll say hello

(20:45):
to Let's go to Mark, who's in southern California, and
he wants to Mark is gone.

Speaker 1 (20:53):
We will not go to Mark.

Speaker 2 (20:53):
He wanted to celebrate the firing of Josh mcdanie's, but
apparently not that much to stay on hold. So instead
we'll go to a guy celebrating because his team now
is one win away from having a parade, and that
means every team in the greater Dallas area will have
won a championship or multiple championships of the Dallas Cowboys
last one Ed in Arlington.

Speaker 8 (21:15):
Hello Ed, good evening, Ben, or good morning, whatever you
want to call it.

Speaker 1 (21:22):
Hello Edge, ooh, you're.

Speaker 8 (21:26):
We don't want to jump the gun here.

Speaker 1 (21:28):
You know now it's over. It's over.

Speaker 2 (21:30):
The Rangers are not gonna blow it. Nelson Cruz ain't
walking through that door.

Speaker 8 (21:37):
Then it was just eleven years ago that we were
one strike away from winning the World Series.

Speaker 1 (21:43):
Da da da, Come on, it's over. I'm telling you.
Listen to me. It's over.

Speaker 2 (21:48):
The Rangers of the world, champions of baseball. They are
exterminating the Snakes.

Speaker 8 (21:56):
I think it was I think it was baseball that
generated the expression it ain't over till it's over.

Speaker 1 (22:03):
No, No, it's all. It's over.

Speaker 2 (22:04):
When the overnight gas back says it's over, it's over,
and it is over.

Speaker 8 (22:11):
Ah, I I don't want to.

Speaker 2 (22:17):
I believe, come on, and just you know, deep down
and I know you don't want to say it.

Speaker 1 (22:24):
Even with all the injuries to the Rangers.

Speaker 2 (22:28):
It does you know how, as was pointed out earlier,
the game was so boring that they were throwing paper airplanes,
and the fans were so bored they were throwing paper
airplanes in a World Series game. That's what you do
in May on a Wednesday, but not on a Tuesday
at a World Series.

Speaker 8 (22:48):
Did you see the belly flops and the cannonballs in
the in the outfield pool too? If they can't win
the World Series, at least their fans can have some fun.

Speaker 1 (22:58):
Well the mother and the motivation is obvious.

Speaker 2 (23:01):
You if you're the Rangers, you want to win on
the road because you have road field advantage, and you
could celebrate in the pool. You know they're gonna have
a pool party, dager, so they went on Wednesday night.

Speaker 4 (23:13):
Here.

Speaker 8 (23:14):
That could be some motivation right there. You got a point.
But I'll say this, if the Snakes do end up losing, Uh,
I really like I like everything about it really. I
like their style of play. I like the small ball,
the base you know, the back of the old National League.
Now since the DH is used in both leagues, it's

(23:37):
it's really the old style of play now. Uh, base
stealing buns, sacrifices. Uh, they had They didn't do it
too much last night because Uh, I guess the Rangers
did a pretty good job of shutting it down. But uh,
the Arizona can create havoc on the base paths. And
make life difficult for a young pitcher. But so far

(24:01):
with Iobaldi on the mound tonight. Uh he's a veteran
and uh I think between him and Jonah him the catcher,
he's got a cannon for an arm and uh, I.

Speaker 4 (24:14):
Think they'll be.

Speaker 1 (24:16):
Game.

Speaker 2 (24:17):
I thought of all the did not pitch very I
didn't think he pitched well in Game one. I was surprised.
He's been lights out most of the time in the playoffs.
I expect a great outing by of all the tonight
and the Rangers will win the championship, and then make
sure you call us after they win.

Speaker 1 (24:32):
All right, Ed, we'll be here, okay.

Speaker 8 (24:34):
All right, Ben, all right, buddy, all right here.

Speaker 1 (24:36):
You no concerns. I't worried, do need to be worried.

Speaker 2 (24:41):
What you should be worried about is if you haven't
gotten tickets to the Breeders Cup. Because we are in
the final stretch to get tickets to horse racing's biggest
moment of the year. The world's baster headed a Santa Anita.
They'll fight us up for the Breeders' Cup World Championships
November third and fourth, and I'll be out there by
the way on on Friday for sure, possibly Saturday. So
if you're planning on going to the Breeders.

Speaker 1 (25:02):
Cup, let me know. I'll love to meet you. The
countdown begins now.

Speaker 2 (25:06):
Get tickets today at Breeders Cup dot Com will actually
be recording a pod at the.

Already too much or not enough? Is the game?

Speaker 2 (26:01):
We welcome in a man who has had many nicknames
since he started calling the show, and we think we
found the right one, the caller known as Dad Gummt.

Speaker 1 (26:11):
Hello, Dad Gummett.

Speaker 3 (26:14):
What's what's up?

Speaker 4 (26:16):
Beauty?

Speaker 3 (26:16):
Betty?

Speaker 8 (26:16):
What's up?

Speaker 3 (26:17):
Nick?

Speaker 1 (26:19):
He's not listening.

Speaker 5 (26:21):
He gave me a little head, Bob, a little head.

Speaker 3 (26:24):
Nob what's going on? Nick?

Speaker 1 (26:26):
All right? He doesn't want to talk to you.

Speaker 5 (26:28):
Here you go.

Speaker 3 (26:29):
You want Jason ward Deck. I'm rather talk out last night?
Did he nope?

Speaker 1 (26:36):
All right? All right? Can we play the game?

Speaker 2 (26:39):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (26:39):
Yeah, yeah, man, go Tennessee balls. I'm waiting.

Speaker 2 (26:44):
Why don't you Why don't you hire Nick as the
Tennessee broadcaster?

Speaker 1 (26:47):
How about that? He would move?

Speaker 3 (26:48):
All right? This did a good job, man, I give
my name change all the time. This on search crash
off of the past. We talks to jobs.

Speaker 1 (26:55):
All right. I appreciate that. Okay, all right? Stop? Yeah?

Speaker 8 (26:58):
Nick?

Speaker 1 (27:00):
Oh? Guarding this second? The Iowa minute is warming up.
Question number one.

Speaker 2 (27:03):
As a team, the Texas Rangers hit for the cycle
in the second inning of the World Series game last night.
It has been seventeen years since that happened in the
World Series. Is that too much or not enough?

Speaker 3 (27:17):
Too much?

Speaker 1 (27:19):
And that is wrong? Not enough? At that time?

Speaker 2 (27:25):
I lost that the last time a team hit for
the cycle was way back in nineteen ninety one.

Speaker 1 (27:32):
Atlanta Braves.

Speaker 2 (27:35):
Question two, Luca Dontre became just the fifth player in
NBA history to lead his team outright in points, rebounds,
and assists in each.

Speaker 1 (27:48):
Of his first three games of the season. Is that
too much or not enough? Enough?

Speaker 3 (27:55):
That's not enough?

Speaker 1 (27:57):
Not enough?

Speaker 4 (27:57):
All right?

Speaker 1 (27:58):
Let's find out if it's correct here? Not enough? Is
his answer wrong again? Dummy? Too much?

Speaker 2 (28:04):
He is only the only player in NBA history to
accomplish that. You're doing wonderfully, dad gum it. Question number three.
It is hard to get all three wrong in a row.
We have had it happen recently. Will it happen again?

Speaker 1 (28:18):
Here we go.

Speaker 3 (28:19):
Last time I played this game, I came all the
way back. Want to go go ahead?

Speaker 1 (28:24):
Corey Seeger? You know who that is?

Speaker 3 (28:26):
Yes, baseball player?

Speaker 1 (28:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (28:28):
Corey Seeger hit his sixteenth career postseason dinger on Tuesday.

Speaker 1 (28:33):
Is that too much or not enough? For the Rangers shortstop?

Speaker 2 (28:38):
Out?

Speaker 1 (28:38):
Too man?

Speaker 8 (28:40):
Hey?

Speaker 3 (28:40):
Enough?

Speaker 1 (28:41):
Are you saying? What's the answer?

Speaker 3 (28:44):
Not enough?

Speaker 8 (28:45):
Being?

Speaker 3 (28:45):
Not enough?

Speaker 1 (28:46):
All right? Not enough?

Speaker 4 (28:48):
All right? All right?

Speaker 1 (28:51):
You haven't come back yet.

Speaker 2 (28:52):
That is his nineteenth career postseason home run. Passing, cheating
Carlos Correa for the most among short stops. Question number four,
they get these that's too right. A. J. Brown now
has eight straight games with at least one hundred and
twenty five receiving yards.

Speaker 1 (29:06):
Is that too much or not enough for the Eagles
wide receiver?

Speaker 5 (29:10):
Not enough?

Speaker 8 (29:11):
Man?

Speaker 1 (29:12):
All right, this is the stay alive Dad Gummet Billow wrong.

Speaker 3 (29:23):
It's all these or barrels. I'm on a major highway
from Memphis to Saint Louis. There's a lot or barrels
I can't see, but Orange.

Speaker 1 (29:31):
Blame the barrels, the highway barrels there in Arkansas.

Speaker 3 (29:35):
My buddy called me today from sant Andy. He said, hey, man,
how's your Rams? And I said about Bacheler, stupid Bears
arm man and he just hung up.

Speaker 2 (29:43):
Yea, the Rams suck. They couldn't even get the quarterback
we thought they got they didn't get.

Speaker 3 (29:47):
So yeah, I heard new picture today.

Speaker 2 (29:50):
I gotta got the Iowa minute. The damn Iowa minute
is warming enough. Thank you, Dad Gummet. You did not win,
and we press on the Iowa minute with Iowa Sam

in radio.

Speaker 5 (31:31):
Yes, sir, Well you know, Ben, I thought i'd change
things up a little bit to start to SiO a minute.
And you know, Halloween may be over for everyone but
Hawaii and what maybe Alaska. I don't really know, but
it's over. Don't tell that to cemetery visitors in Davenport, Iowa,
namely passers by in the Iowa Soldier's Orphans section of

(31:53):
Oakdale Memorial Gardens. Little spooky tail here for you, Ben.
If you're walking through Section TE in the Iowa Soldier's
Orphan Section of Oakdale Memorial Gardens, you may stumble across
and look closely.

Speaker 9 (32:05):
Ben.

Speaker 5 (32:06):
You may look down after stumbling and see an epitaph,
a burial plaque that simply says, limb of unknown child.

Speaker 3 (32:17):
He's really bad.

Speaker 1 (32:18):
I'm matter.

Speaker 5 (32:20):
Those are kids?

Speaker 1 (32:21):
Which which limb? Would that would be? Like a leg?

Speaker 8 (32:24):
Arm?

Speaker 1 (32:25):
What are we looking at?

Speaker 4 (32:25):
Well?

Speaker 5 (32:26):
What do we know about this limb?

Speaker 1 (32:27):
Ben?

Speaker 5 (32:27):
Let's go on record here it is indeed a leg.

Speaker 1 (32:30):
The right or left leg. We don't know is it
a male or a female?

Speaker 5 (32:35):
The leg belonged to a boy, a boy presumably the
orphaned son of an Iowa soldier of years past, and
according to some ghoulish Davenport lore, some have heard children
crying in that part of the cemetery with no children
to be found. Are you scared now, Ben?

Speaker 1 (32:54):
I am scared now? In Iowa?

Speaker 2 (32:55):
Sam?

Speaker 1 (32:56):
Did they?

Speaker 2 (32:56):
And I know in Hollywood people go to the cemetery
to watch movies. Did they do that in Iowa?

Speaker 3 (33:01):
Two?

Speaker 5 (33:01):
I don't know if that's caught on there yet. I've
actually done that before in Philadelphia. Was actually pretty fun.

Speaker 1 (33:06):
Saw Hollywood Forever cemetery here in Lay. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (33:10):
Movie, that's kind of a ghoulish past time. But yeah,
just don't sit on someone's grave, you know, show little space.

Speaker 1 (33:16):
I feel like we're gonna spend enough time in cemeteries.
We don't need to go before.

Speaker 5 (33:19):
That's true.

Speaker 1 (33:19):
One.

Speaker 5 (33:20):
Yeah, well, I don't know, Ben. Would you would you
visit that epitaph to pay your respects to a leg?

Speaker 1 (33:28):
What do you think about that?

Speaker 4 (33:29):
No?

Speaker 5 (33:29):
What about what about a hand?

Speaker 2 (33:33):
Nah?

Speaker 1 (33:33):
I think I need a head, head, severed head. I
need a severed head.

Speaker 5 (33:38):
Yeah, pressing on, let's get an update on the Iowa harvest.
About seventy seven percent of the state's corn crop has
been harvested and ninety three percent of soybeans and Ben.
Despite this past summer's drought conditions in the Midwest, farmers
and agronomous are quite pleased with crop yields. Pleasantly surprised.
We'll wrap up the farm and fleet with this, Ben.

(33:58):
I tried looking up poor belly prices. I went to
pork checkoff dot Org, and I was immediately confused by
all the numbers and figures. But I was able to
surmise that the prices of many cuts of pork.

Speaker 1 (34:10):
Are down, down, down down. That's good.

Speaker 5 (34:14):
That's good. So Mutter, that's good, right, you know, helping
out the consumer.

Speaker 2 (34:19):
Passed down the price to the consumer, pay less for
the pork bellies.

Speaker 4 (34:22):
And all that.

Speaker 5 (34:23):
So Mutter and Fodder should be able to afford that
glazed ham for Thanksgiving and or Christmas. Let's get to
some scores.

Speaker 4 (34:30):
Ben, here we go.

Speaker 1 (34:31):
This is the Iowa Minute. We'd like to learn.

Speaker 2 (34:33):
All you feelis the Grist half hour and Radio bi
Iowa Minute with Iowa Sam.

Speaker 5 (34:37):
Iowa was on a bye week after that, Krock of
s officiating and they still got shut out. That occurred
during the Minnesota Golden Gophers game. They were shut out
in the bye week. But something seismic did happen happened
during the Hawkeyes bye week is Interim Interim athletics director
Beth Gets announced that Iowa's offensive coordinator Brian Farrence would

(34:58):
not be returning to his play calling duties next season.

Speaker 1 (35:01):
For joice for Joyce.

Speaker 5 (35:03):
Up next for Iowa taking on the resurgent Northwestern Wildcats
at Wrigley Field, Ben's have you ever seen a game
played at Wrigley?

Speaker 2 (35:11):
I have seen baseball games. I have not seen a
football game at I've been to a couple of games
over the years at I liked it before they renovated it.

Speaker 5 (35:18):
Though Illinois has played Northwestern a few times there, and
there's been some other football games played there. It's a
little wonky. It's a little wacky. I think they have
to play like one direction because the other you can't.
Where's my music? Oh my god? Too lot? They have
to play one direction, so they can't they play one
direction over the loud speakers there.

Speaker 1 (35:38):
Yes, okay, but.

Speaker 5 (35:39):
I mean basically one of the end zones. There's not
enough like buffer zone around it when a guy maybe
catches a touchdown and runs out of bounce because of
the way, yes, the way it's set up. So you
have to play at least there because it because it's
it's northwest there in evan Evansville. Wait, Evanston. Excuse me,

(36:03):
Evansville's Indiana. That's a Midwestern faux poll.

Speaker 1 (36:06):
You'll right, Iowa, Sam, Come on, you're mister Midwest.

Speaker 5 (36:08):
Evans Deniah I said, evans Den, Iowa, Evanst, Illinois.

Speaker 1 (36:11):
That's where North Illinois minute.

Speaker 2 (36:13):
I know I'm getting most the Iowa minute jumbled here,
but combining Midwestern states here.

Speaker 5 (36:17):
There's a lot of ioas in Chicago On totally flustered,
you're dishevel dishevell, totally flustered. All right, let's get to
speaking of resurgeon. Iowa State, after a one and two
start to the season, is now five and three and
tied for first place in the Big twelve.

Speaker 1 (36:29):
You know why, they're the Cyclones.

Speaker 5 (36:30):
That's why Oklahoma does hold the tiebreaker. But the team
that knocked off the previously unbeaten Sooners, Kansas, arrives at
Jack Trace Stadium this Saturday for.

Speaker 1 (36:38):
A huge showdown.

Speaker 5 (36:39):
Watch out Jayhawks, watch out, watch Out. That could decide something?
All right, were running up time here and after let's
get to you and I. After a twenty four to
twenty one road win over Illinois State, the Panthers host
the crap ass leather nicks of leathernecks of Western Illinois.

Speaker 1 (36:52):
Are you saying they're low on the totem poles?

Speaker 5 (36:53):
They are winless? Okay, it should be a romp at
the unit domes trying though they are trying. I think
all right, Drake final the Bulldog smoked the Hatters of
Stets in thirty three to seven and will travel to
Merist to take on the Red Foxes. Ben, do you
know where Merris College is located? That's an Iowa minute quiz.

Speaker 1 (37:10):
I'm gonna say Iowa.

Speaker 5 (37:13):
All right. Nick wants to jump in here. He has
a guess. It's in Poughkeepsie, Poughkeepsie, New York. There you listen,
the Pioneer. It's coast to coast San Diego to Poughkeepsie,
New York. And that is your very flustered Iowa minute.

Speaker 1 (37:27):
Oh all right, the Hatter's lost.

Speaker 3 (37:30):
Uh
