Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our number three thing of This is a throwback
Mallard monologue. We go on the way back machines of
the nineties and the early two thousands. Remember a player
named Rashid Wallace. Rashid Wallace popped up on our radar recently.
He did a podcast interview and says that the four
(00:22):
pistons are the reason that Draymond Green acts like a knucklehead?
Do you agree with that take by Rashid Wallace? Also,
Anthony Edwards claims that the All Star nod that he
got last year in Minnesota does not count because you see,
(00:43):
he was an injury replacement. We examine what that means
and PJ. Tucker, veteran journeymen basketball player calling out the Clippers,
saying there's not enough basketballs on the planet for the Clippers.
Thumbs up or thumbs down to the Clippers, a shortage
of balls. We'll talk about this as well.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Right now here.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
It is our number three. An old friend returns to
a Malard monologue.

Speaker 4 (02:02):
Now.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
I'm gonna sit here in wax poetic about the in
season tournament. No no, we talked about it a little
bit and I called it by the wrong name.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
I thought it was the playing term. It's an in
season term.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
But congratulations, I guess to the Greek freak in Yannis
dent to Koombo's running mate their dame time as they
were able to mop the court with the Knickerbockers in Milwaukee,
so they advanced to Sin City and that was the
early game. In the late game, the Lakers were powered
by Josh Tiven, Eric Dallen and Tom Washington. Those are
(02:36):
the three players of the game for the Lakers as
they helped get the Lakers past the Suns. Tom Washington,
good job by him in particular with that phantom call,
that time out call. But that's the in season tournament.
Not a great talker, not a great Now. Maybe this
weekend will become a great talker. Maybe I'll change my position,
this weekend will be a great talker. But at this point,
(02:57):
not a great talker. So we turned to an old friend. Now,
if you've been with me a long time over the
years here at Fox Sports Radio, there are certain people
that we talk about more than other people because they
say weird things, they say interesting things.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
One of those people, if.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
You were with me many many years ago, is named
Rashid Wallace, And we talked a lot about Rashid because
Rashid did wild and crazy things. You had the jail
Blazers era in Portland, you had him running amuck with
Detroit basketball.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
And he also went to the Celtics.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
He bounced around the NBA if they had that famous
one day in Atlanta where he played one game for
the Atlanta Hawks and then moved on to the Celtics.
But he's seen a thing or two. So we haven't
spent much time thinking about Rashid Wallas. Why would we
I mean, we're not sitting here reminiscing about random old
NBA players, But Rashid popped up on our radar, So
(03:49):
if he didn't see this, perhaps not. Rashid Wallace did
a podcast interview, because everyone's got a podcast, and Wallace
said he believes the reason that Draymond Green is such
a lunatic, such a hot tempered knucklehead on the court,
is because of.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
The Detroit Pistons.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Say what, Yeah, Raymond Green is a dumb ass on
the court because of the four.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Pistons.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Yeah, so here's the logic behind that. It actually makes
some sense here, he said Wallace of Draymond Green. That
is our fault. Wallace said, and when I say r
that's my fault, that's Ben Wallace's fault. Chauncey meaning Chauncey
Phillips rip Hamilton's fault. Rashid Wallace said, that is Tayshaun
(04:47):
Prince's fault, everybody in the locker room, because he meanings
Raymond Green grew up in that locker room, said Rashid
Wallas Now Wallace pointing out that one of his best
friends was the son of the general manager of the Pistons,
(05:07):
so Draymond was around the four Pistons for that period
of time, and that is why, according to Draymond, he's
doing that bully blank. They I cleaned that up for radio.
Bully blank. That's his opinion. So let us discuss the
question the question on this one. Rashid Wallace saying the
(05:29):
four Pistons are responsible for influencing and shaping the modern
day Draymond Green, almost twenty years later and his Shenanigans.
Do you agree or disagree with that take? So I've
got trumpet, grasshopper, and science fiction, and we'll combine all
(05:54):
of these things together and we're going to make the
time shifted mallard of the third degree or should be
coming up in a few minutes. But first of all,
I'm going to agree, after a minute long mall of investigation,
I agree with the Rashid Wallace take an impressionable young
Draymond Green, a Michigan lad, hanging out around the Pistons
(06:15):
in the locker room, learning by osmosis to act like
a jackass on the court and use all of the
tricks that Rashid Wallace had mastered that he had learned
from previous generations like Rick Malhorn and others, and so
that said, this is also part of Draymond's personal So
it's not just the Pistons unless Draymond Green is doing
(06:41):
performance art, and if he is, he should win a
Tony Award Outstanding. Draymond just appears to be hardwired to
act like a lunatic on the court.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
That appears to be the way that he is wired.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
And it's a hard act to keep up all these years.
Is it conceivable? Sure Belichick's doing an act. He's doing
a thespian act with the media. So if Belichick can
do it, Draymond Green can do it. The other part
of this is Rashid Wallace gets to blow his own trumpet.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
He does.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
It's a nice humble brag. It's like, eh, you know,
I played a long time ago and the.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Ball don't lie. Both teams played hard, my man.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
One of the great monologues I've ever done was when
Rashid Wallace was with the Portland Trail Blazers and was
being fine for not talking to the media. I believe
they were playing the Dallas Mavericks and the playoffs, and
the PR guy for the Blazers said, Hey, Rashid, you
got to talk.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
You're gonna get fined again.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Just say anything, Just get up there and say anything.
So Rashid answered every question with both teams played hard.
My man, both teams played hard, and we used to
play that as a drop on the show. You know,
the old board ops, the old engineers used to play
that all the time. But I guess that's you know,
we've changed many engineers over the years and they kind
of went away. But it's a great drop because he
answered every question the same way.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
We are fans of Draymond Green.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
I made it through about three or four years of
talk radio during basketball season just talking about about Rashid Wallace.
I should say, I think I said Raymond Green, but listen, JA,
there you go, right there, that's the SoundBite. Draymond Green
is ten ejections away from tying Rashid Wallace's all time
record of twenty nine. Of course, Draymond unfortunately will not
be able to ever break Rashid Wallace's record for most
(08:28):
technical fouls, and the season is the most unbreakable record
in sport now. Secondly, headline from Minnesota, where the Timber
Puffs are playing pretty well and their star Anthony Edwards
is climbing up the totem pole of good players in
the NBA. But he recently talked about his All Star
appearance last year, and he pointed out that it doesn't
(08:51):
really count. It doesn't really count because, as he said,
he was an injury replacement and that raised some eyebrows.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
And you were in the All Star Game. I don't
know why you would say that. So let's part the words.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Anthony Edwards claimed that the All Star nod that he
got last season in Minnesota doesn't count because he was
an injury replacement. Is that how it works? The answer,
if you have integrity is yes.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Remember guys would make the Pro Bowl because nobody wanted
to go to the Pro Bowl. Then one year, Vince Young,
who was terrible for the Tennessee Titans, he got to
the Pro Bowl because like five other guys didn't want
to go. And so on his Pro Football Reference page
it says Vince Young Pro Bowl Quarterback.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
The reality is.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Nobody wanted to go and he was the only dummy
that would go, and so they put him on the
Pro Bowl. Right, And you see this all the time.
You see this all the time. It's like, well, context
doesn't matter. I absolutely agree with Anthony Edwards. So I
am nodding my head. Yes, that is how it works.
And good job by Edwards, an enlightened young grasshopper. A
nice job by him, right, nice job by him. Profound
(10:02):
insightable the wisdom basketball wisdom of Solomon from Anthony Edwards here,
because being a replacement is like being a seat filler
at the Academy Awards and saying, hey, I was invited
to the Academy Awards.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Well you kind of word, but your kind of word,
all right?
Speaker 2 (10:20):
You know, because the person that's the nominee to win
the Academy Award was taking a whiz and you happen
to be sitting in their seat.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Does that count? I don't know. Probably not right. You're
at the show, but you're just filling a chair, all right.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Final fight headline from the clip Joint. Several of you
sent me this quote demanding a reference in the Mallard monologue.
So here we are a veteran Ford P J. Tucker,
You have a quote this week saying that there's not
enough basketballs on the planet for the Clippers All Star
(10:55):
lineup with James Harden joining Kawhi Leonard, Paul George and
Russell Westbrook. The Clippers are six and eight with James
Harden on the court since picking him up for reasons
only Steve Balmer appears to know. So thumbs up or
thumbs down, thumbs up or thumbs down to the Clippers
(11:16):
having a shortage of balls. Shortage of balls, So I'm
gonna go thumbs down on this one. I'm gonna go
thumbs down on this one. Uh, there are enough balls
available because they make a lot of They mass produce
basketballs at the Wilson's Sporting Good Global headquarters, which I
(11:36):
believe are in Chicago, So if you need balls, you
got the balls right there in Chicago.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
They got a lot of balls. To me, those balls
are perfect.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
The issue with the Clippers is the NBA only allows
you to use one ball at a time. That's the problem.
But there's still time for the Clippers roster to mold
into shape. Here to follow the science fiction TV show
from back in the day, which I guess has come
back on NBC and take a quantum leap. Take that
(12:04):
quantum leap, go through the trials and tribulations, figure out
who's gonna shoot and who's gonna there's enough shots in an.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
NBA game where you should.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Be able to feed pretty much everyone, but you've got
you gotta have some planning. You can't go helter skelter.
It's not gonna work. He said, well, what does that mean?
Let me explain. So last night we had this fugase
(12:35):
in season tournament thing.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Not a fan, not a fan. We'll just pick a
random game.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
The the Milwaukee Bucks played the Knickerbockers in the early
game in Wisconsin. So in that game, the Bucks took
ninety one shots and the Knicks took eighty seven. So
let's just say ninety shots a game. You got ninety shots,
so that means Harden gets fifteen, Kawhi gets fifteen, Paul
(13:03):
George gets ten, and then everyone else shares what's left.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
That should be enough shots. That should be enough shots.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Now, if you want to give Kawhi twenty and James
Harden twenty, that's forty. George gets fifteen, so now we're
at fifty five. The rest of the team should be
able to get enough shots. I'm helping him out.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
All Right's Ben Maler's show on Fox, and right now
it is time to get a degree, or at least
the third degree. So we'll do that. Here we go.
It's mallard. How about that?
Speaker 5 (13:34):
To the third degree?
Speaker 1 (13:35):
I just said that this is one big Ben gets
graill all right, cooberlup, Here we go.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
A report Monday said that even if quinn Ewers decides
to return to Texas for another year, arch Manning won't
be entering the transfer portal. He apparently likes it at Texas.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Ben. Would this be a bad move by Manning?
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Well, it would be an unnecessary move by arch Manning
because the family seems to be following this old world
approach that once you commit to a school, you stay
at the school and you don't transfer and all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
No, they have the transfer portal. You can get paid.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
He's making a lot of money, right, You gotta keep
up with the times college football free agency. He's making
a lot of money. You can get on the job
training and make a lot of money. And the nil
money that you're getting from Texas you can get from
Ohio State or Michigan or USC the other blue blood programs.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
There's a lot of nil money to go around.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
And having the best of both worlds getting into the
transfer portal, getting more money and actually playing.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
How about this for a conspiracy theory.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
What if the Manning family knows that Arch Manning is
a cheap ripoff version and the kid can't play, and
that's why they're happy he's not playing in Austin because
the longer this ruse can go on where he doesn't play,
people will think he's being deprived, but he actually can't
play next.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
It's also being reported that there is a belief around
the NFL that if the Cowboys do not make a
deep playoff run, Mike McCarthy will be fired and Dan
Quinn will take over as head coach.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Ben, are you buying that?
Speaker 2 (15:08):
No, I'm buying the part that Mike McCarthy number one
is going to be fired, that he's in the danger zone.
There's stranger danger for Mike McCarthy there. Jerry Jones. While
his face has not aged, his body is aging rapidly,
and the you know the clock is a ticket on
the Cowboys actually doing something, not just being paper tigers
(15:29):
in the playoffs. The Quinn thing doesn't make a lot
of sense because he's a he's not a sexy higher.
He's been a head coach before, and his moment in
the sun was the greatest choke job in the history
of pro football for the Atlanta Falcons against the Patriots
and the Super Bowl. So the only thing he's got
going for him, dan Quinn is he would work without
(15:51):
a big ego, and I guess he's part of the
Cowboy family.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
But other than that, you want somebody else next.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
Tyron Taylor was activated off the ir on Monday, and
it has led to questions on who will start for
the Giants this week. Boomer as science and said on
a radio interview that not playing Tommy DeVito would be
one of the dumbest things Brian Daball could do.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Ben is he right?
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Well, according to Brian Dable, he is right because Brian
Dabele said Tommy DeVito has earned the start against the
Packers this weekend. But deep down, if you gave some
truth serum to the Giant brass there, they would say, hey,
we would rather have Tyrod Taylor.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
He's the savvy veteran.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
And even though Tommy Cutltz is a good nickname, he's
a Jersey kid. He's not that talented. Although his numbers
have actually been all right the last month or so.
He had a big game against the Washington football team
and whatnot. But there it is Mallard of the third degree.
How did we do?
Speaker 1 (16:45):
And he passes a diation that is a winner.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
You can put her on the ball, won the.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Gag, I won the game. We're gonna have a new
Mallard song later this hour.

the question. Yeah, yeah, so all right, Stobb shop about it.
That's all we wanted to hear. Now are you gonna
(22:18):
deny what happened there? Eddie? Are you gonna deny what
I heard? My mo my lying years Just.
Speaker 6 (22:24):
Like when Jim Tom Sulla coached the forty nine ers
and farted in the middle of a news conference.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Andre Vassilowski. Now was he We don't know. It might
have been him. Why do you know he wasn't the
fart else, You don't know whether he was the farther
or not. He was the one that left. Maybe he
was laughing at his own work. He was honoring his
own work. The great thing is when you're in it
a media environment like that, there's a lot of people.
Nobody knows who the fart is except the person that
(22:51):
did it. Other than that, it's all speculation. It is
all fart speculation, fun fart facts, though, Eddie, here's the
fun fact. Nine percent, ninety nine percent of farts are odorless.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Did you know that only? Yes, yes, only one percent
of farts.
Speaker 7 (23:11):
That is false data.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
That is, I got this on the internet.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Only one of farts is made with hydrogen sulfide.
Speaker 6 (23:19):
That's what smells. How about this said the average human being.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Yeah, brothers and sisters here pass gas between thirteen to
twenty one times a day. And congratulations, lady ladies, you
apparently win you fart more than men. So congratulations women.
Hear me fart right there? So that's all the fart
facts I have, Eddie, but thanks to Andrea Basilevski, and
(23:45):
that must have been a smeller. That must have not
because you could hear it, but it must have also
had a smell.
Speaker 7 (23:50):
The thing is, though, when you're in a hockey locker room,
you could drop a deuce and know one would smell
because they have everything else smells so bad.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
Well, the goaltender's equipment smells terrible. That's a. That's a.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
I have not been in a hockey locker room in
a while, and I'm not missing it. I'm not missing
because it smells.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Just discussed.
Speaker 5 (24:05):
Be sure to catch live editions of the Ben Mellor
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 7 (24:11):
YEA had this in a Puck the World rumor a
few weeks ago, but apparently segment Yeah I am. Apparently
it's been confirmed the twenty twenty four NHL Draft to
be held in Las Vegas. But not only in Las Vegas.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
They're gonna hold it on the lake at the Belagie.
Speaker 7 (24:30):
At the Sphere. At the Sphere, so I will be uh.
I'll be requesting a credential for the twenty twenty four
NHL Draft.
Speaker 1 (24:38):

Speaker 7 (24:40):
I like Vegas. What are you talking about?
Speaker 1 (24:42):

Speaker 5 (25:44):
It's another Ben Meller game.
Speaker 7 (25:46):
We've endored too many of these?
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Has it too much or not enough enough? Already to
the game? We go and a man that loves this
game more than any other game, Chris in the Commonwealth.
Hello Christopher, good morning. Oh god, I have to make
up make amends for password a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 5 (26:04):
I was so.
Speaker 6 (26:05):
Embarrassed password, the word game of idiots.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Password.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
Yes, you got a shot here at Redemption, so good
luck to you.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Chris in the Commonwealth. And away we go with question.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Number one, with the Iowa minute warming up on deck,
the Iowa minute greatest thirty six minutes in all of radio.
The Atlanta Falcons haven't allowed a touchdown in twenty consecutive postseasons?
Is that too much possession? Did I say postseason? Why
did I say? That would obviously be wrong? The Atlanta
Falcons haven't allowed a touchdown in twenty consecutive possessions?
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Is that too much or not enough?
Speaker 2 (26:51):
I repeat that the Falcon.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Okay, now you're blaming me. How dare you? Are you
trying to google it?
Speaker 6 (26:58):
The Falcons having a the Atlanta defense is not allowed
to touchdown in twenty consecutive possessions by the other team.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
Is that too much or not enough?
Speaker 5 (27:09):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (27:09):
That's too much?
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Let's find out. Is that correct? Now?
Speaker 2 (27:15):
I believe it or not, it's not enough. The defense
has not allowed to touchdown in twenty four consecutive possessions.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
You know what that is?
Speaker 6 (27:26):
That is a byproduct of playing the Saints and the Jets,
is what that is?
Speaker 1 (27:30):
That is what that is?
Speaker 9 (27:31):
All right?
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Question number two?
Speaker 2 (27:32):
On Sunday, Michael Pittman Junior had his seventh game this
season with eight or more catches?
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Is that too much or not enough? Not enough? It
says not enough? Is he right? That is correct?
Speaker 2 (27:48):
It is The Colts wide receiver is ninth game with
eight or more catches, the most in the league. Question
number three. Puka Nokua just became only the fifth rookie
wide receiver to have three games of one hundred and
fifty or more scrimmage yards in a season. Is that
too much or not enough for the ram rookie?
Speaker 1 (28:13):
Not enough? Not enough?
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Let's find out now that's too much. He is only
the third rookie wide receiver to accomplish that, joins Randy
Moss and Jamar Chase Pooka Nokoua. You can ram it
all day, ram it all night, and could have been
a Patriot. By the way, Chris, the Rams got it
in the fifth round, but that Patriots scouting staff apparently
didn't think Pooka Nikoua was any good. Question Number four,
(28:37):
Here we go. Last week, Tray Young, you gotta get
these last two right to win the game. Last week,
Trey Young had his eighth career forty five point ten
assist game.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Is that too much or not enough?
Speaker 7 (28:52):
Too much?
Speaker 6 (28:54):
Chris and the CommonWell says too much to stay alive?
Let's find out is he right?
Speaker 1 (28:58):
It is for too much?
Speaker 6 (29:03):
It was his sixth touch game, passing Dame Lillard for
fifth most in NBA history.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
That comes down to this, the seminal moment. Are you ready,
Chris and the Commonwealth?
Speaker 4 (29:14):
I am ready?
Speaker 1 (29:15):
And Nikil Harry, Yeah, our go ahead. Here we go.
This is it. This is big final question. Last one.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
This past weekend, DeAndre Hopkins another guy that could have
been a Patriot. DeAndre Hopkins became the twentieth player in
NFL history to reach twelve thousand career receiving yards. Is
that too much or not enough for the win. He says,
not enough. Let's find out if he's.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Right or wrong. Here we go. That's so not enough.
Good job about you, Chris. You get a goal that deck.
Speaker 6 (30:00):
As he is the twenty ninth, the twenty ninth player
in NFL history to reach that mark.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
So congratulations to you, redemption. Congratulations redemption. For you are right,
and go.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
Take a nap because the Iowa Minute is straight ahead.
We'll get to that. I'm looking forward, he said something.
I couldn't know what was he saying. I couldn't looking forward?
Speaker 8 (30:23):
Looking forward to it?
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Oh, looking forward to the Isola. All right, I'll good, Okay,

else would give us the Iowa Minute. We'll get to that.

Let me know, all right, I was gonna talk Iowa football,
so you know, I might, I might not, No, I will, Ben.
Speaker 4 (31:50):
We're in that time of the year for quote seasonal
Iowa Minute depression.
Speaker 8 (31:55):
It's not so much weather related. I do live in California.
Not much to plain about here, although it does get
dark before five pm. It's a sadness ban of sadness
about the change in sporting seasons. But also I'm done
giving out harvest reports. All of Iowa's grain is in
the bin. Folks retreat to the warmth of their homes.
(32:18):
They had big celebrations after they get all the up.
I mean, it's definitely like, you know, work is done
for a little bit. Go fix and clean your your
your machines.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
Onto the next though. You got a plant, new stuff.
Speaker 8 (32:29):
Yeah, but you got a long hard winter ahead. You know,
the ground is frozen.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (32:34):
And college football finds itself winding down. And for Iowa
versus Michigan in the Big Ten Championship game.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
I gotta tell you, Iwa, Iowa Hawkeye football lived up
to the hype.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
They lived up to the billing.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
You can say what you want about them, but they
the scouting report was right on the Hawkeyes offense.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
Uh yes, it very much so.
Speaker 8 (32:51):
And it met Michigan, punctuating a thirteen and o season
over the Hawkeyes.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Overine.
Speaker 8 (33:01):
Finally, on some two yards, cign extends the lead to
nine to nothing over Iowa.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
Now, the Hawkeves were right there until Michigan scored and
then it was over.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (33:11):
Listen, there their defense played pretty well, but their offense
couldn't do anything. And I'll get to a little more
of that, Doug Darget your field.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
Sound like a Patriot fan. The defense played well.
Speaker 8 (33:20):
The defiled defense has been showing up for twenty years.
You know, most Iowa minutes been I'd be playing you
some Gary Dolphin calling and io a touchdown, except I
WOA didn't score any points, So no Dolphin on the
menu today.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
Sadly, Oh the sadness the ratings are gonna go down.
Speaker 8 (33:37):
Oh the sadness of twenty six to nothing.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
Oh in three all.
Speaker 8 (33:43):
Time and big ten championship games, Winter's chill? What happened
to my music?
Speaker 9 (33:47):
There?
Speaker 8 (33:47):
It is Winter's Chill rubs its cold dead finger across.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
The back of my neck. That's how it felt.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
The good news is I will spend a lot of
money in the transfer portal and get a bunch of
big name players on offense.
Speaker 8 (33:59):
Right, Well, I got they got some guys coming back,
so we'll see. But uh, the great thing you wake
up from there, you never have.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
No you know, you have guys coming back because of
the transfer portal.
Speaker 8 (34:08):
Yeah, I've heard Cade McNamara, who was the Michigan transferred Iowa.
After he got heard, he said he'd definitely be back.
But uh, we'll see what happens. We'll see what the
roster looks like on Uh when camp opens up.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
I will play it with a twelfth man with the
on offense with the score pointscause I don't think they would.
Speaker 8 (34:23):
I don't think so. Yeah, I don't think so.
Speaker 4 (34:25):
Uh.
Speaker 8 (34:26):
Their their offense looks like medieval trebishet at times. Uh
hucking burning feces across the field. Uh, listen, guys Io
falls ten to three, but they do get a nice
consolation prize. They they cheese it Citrus Bowl on January first,
taking on Tennessee.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
I used to love.
Speaker 6 (34:41):
Cheese its and wheat fins back in the day. They
say they were side by side from me.
Speaker 8 (34:46):
Cheese its, wheat thins. Triss gets all that good stuff.
Nothing pairs goldfish, Yeah, definitely. Nothing pairs better though, with
cheese its than a tall glass of grapefruit juice.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
Am I right? Am I right? Yeah? Citrus A big
fan of grape proop, but I like orange juice. Yeah.
Speaker 8 (35:02):

December twenty ninth, which is or afternoon kickoff Cyclones an
eight and a half point favorite.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
Bad job by me.
Speaker 8 (35:20):

Dakota State and lost that game sixty six to three,
a real ha ha ha party. I failed to tell
you guys that actually that was a playoff game in FCS.
FCS opening round playoff.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
Game God Iowa minutes reached the new loweable, so.
Speaker 8 (35:41):
It was all bys in that day, sixty six straight
points after Drake opened up with a three nothing lead

I thought I was right with the win for ridges
of account that I wasn't right.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
I like winn age man, all right there
Hello and welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our number three thing of This is a throwback
Mallard monologue. We go on the way back machines of
the nineties and the early two thousands. Remember a player
named Rashid Wallace. Rashid Wallace popped up on our radar recently.
He did a podcast interview and says that the four
(00:22):
pistons are the reason that Draymond Green acts like a knucklehead?
Do you agree with that take by Rashid Wallace? Also,
Anthony Edwards claims that the All Star nod that he
got last year in Minnesota does not count because you see,
(00:43):
he was an injury replacement. We examine what that means
and PJ. Tucker, veteran journeymen basketball player calling out the Clippers,
saying there's not enough basketballs on the planet for the Clippers.
Thumbs up or thumbs down to the Clippers, a shortage
of balls. We'll talk about this as well.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Right now here.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
It is our number three. An old friend returns to
a Malard monologue.

Speaker 4 (02:02):
Now.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
I'm gonna sit here in wax poetic about the in
season tournament. No no, we talked about it a little
bit and I called it by the wrong name.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
I thought it was the playing term. It's an in
season term.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
But congratulations, I guess to the Greek freak in Yannis
dent to Koombo's running mate their dame time as they
were able to mop the court with the Knickerbockers in Milwaukee,
so they advanced to Sin City and that was the
early game. In the late game, the Lakers were powered
by Josh Tiven, Eric Dallen and Tom Washington. Those are
(02:36):
the three players of the game for the Lakers as
they helped get the Lakers past the Suns. Tom Washington,
good job by him in particular with that phantom call,
that time out call. But that's the in season tournament.
Not a great talker, not a great Now. Maybe this
weekend will become a great talker. Maybe I'll change my position,
this weekend will be a great talker. But at this point,
(02:57):
not a great talker. So we turned to an old friend. Now,
if you've been with me a long time over the
years here at Fox Sports Radio, there are certain people
that we talk about more than other people because they
say weird things, they say interesting things.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
One of those people, if.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
You were with me many many years ago, is named
Rashid Wallace, And we talked a lot about Rashid because
Rashid did wild and crazy things. You had the jail
Blazers era in Portland, you had him running amuck with
Detroit basketball.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
And he also went to the Celtics.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
He bounced around the NBA if they had that famous
one day in Atlanta where he played one game for
the Atlanta Hawks and then moved on to the Celtics.
But he's seen a thing or two. So we haven't
spent much time thinking about Rashid Wallas. Why would we
I mean, we're not sitting here reminiscing about random old
NBA players, But Rashid popped up on our radar, So
(03:49):
if he didn't see this, perhaps not. Rashid Wallace did
a podcast interview, because everyone's got a podcast, and Wallace
said he believes the reason that Draymond Green is such
a lunatic, such a hot tempered knucklehead on the court,
is because of.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
The Detroit Pistons.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Say what, Yeah, Raymond Green is a dumb ass on
the court because of the four.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Pistons.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Yeah, so here's the logic behind that. It actually makes
some sense here, he said Wallace of Draymond Green. That
is our fault. Wallace said, and when I say r
that's my fault, that's Ben Wallace's fault. Chauncey meaning Chauncey
Phillips rip Hamilton's fault. Rashid Wallace said, that is Tayshaun
(04:47):
Prince's fault, everybody in the locker room, because he meanings
Raymond Green grew up in that locker room, said Rashid
Wallas Now Wallace pointing out that one of his best
friends was the son of the general manager of the Pistons,
(05:07):
so Draymond was around the four Pistons for that period
of time, and that is why, according to Draymond, he's
doing that bully blank. They I cleaned that up for radio.
Bully blank. That's his opinion. So let us discuss the
question the question on this one. Rashid Wallace saying the
(05:29):
four Pistons are responsible for influencing and shaping the modern
day Draymond Green, almost twenty years later and his Shenanigans.
Do you agree or disagree with that take? So I've
got trumpet, grasshopper, and science fiction, and we'll combine all
(05:54):
of these things together and we're going to make the
time shifted mallard of the third degree or should be
coming up in a few minutes. But first of all,
I'm going to agree, after a minute long mall of investigation,
I agree with the Rashid Wallace take an impressionable young
Draymond Green, a Michigan lad, hanging out around the Pistons
(06:15):
in the locker room, learning by osmosis to act like
a jackass on the court and use all of the
tricks that Rashid Wallace had mastered that he had learned
from previous generations like Rick Malhorn and others, and so
that said, this is also part of Draymond's personal So
it's not just the Pistons unless Draymond Green is doing
(06:41):
performance art, and if he is, he should win a
Tony Award Outstanding. Draymond just appears to be hardwired to
act like a lunatic on the court.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
That appears to be the way that he is wired.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
And it's a hard act to keep up all these years.
Is it conceivable? Sure Belichick's doing an act. He's doing
a thespian act with the media. So if Belichick can
do it, Draymond Green can do it. The other part
of this is Rashid Wallace gets to blow his own trumpet.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
He does.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
It's a nice humble brag. It's like, eh, you know,
I played a long time ago and the.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Ball don't lie. Both teams played hard, my man.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
One of the great monologues I've ever done was when
Rashid Wallace was with the Portland Trail Blazers and was
being fine for not talking to the media. I believe
they were playing the Dallas Mavericks and the playoffs, and
the PR guy for the Blazers said, Hey, Rashid, you
got to talk.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
You're gonna get fined again.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Just say anything, Just get up there and say anything.
So Rashid answered every question with both teams played hard.
My man, both teams played hard, and we used to
play that as a drop on the show. You know,
the old board ops, the old engineers used to play
that all the time. But I guess that's you know,
we've changed many engineers over the years and they kind
of went away. But it's a great drop because he
answered every question the same way.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
We are fans of Draymond Green.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
I made it through about three or four years of
talk radio during basketball season just talking about about Rashid Wallace.
I should say, I think I said Raymond Green, but listen, JA,
there you go, right there, that's the SoundBite. Draymond Green
is ten ejections away from tying Rashid Wallace's all time
record of twenty nine. Of course, Draymond unfortunately will not
be able to ever break Rashid Wallace's record for most
(08:28):
technical fouls, and the season is the most unbreakable record
in sport now. Secondly, headline from Minnesota, where the Timber
Puffs are playing pretty well and their star Anthony Edwards
is climbing up the totem pole of good players in
the NBA. But he recently talked about his All Star
appearance last year, and he pointed out that it doesn't
(08:51):
really count. It doesn't really count because, as he said,
he was an injury replacement and that raised some eyebrows.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
And you were in the All Star Game. I don't
know why you would say that. So let's part the words.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Anthony Edwards claimed that the All Star nod that he
got last season in Minnesota doesn't count because he was
an injury replacement. Is that how it works? The answer,
if you have integrity is yes.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Remember guys would make the Pro Bowl because nobody wanted
to go to the Pro Bowl. Then one year, Vince Young,
who was terrible for the Tennessee Titans, he got to
the Pro Bowl because like five other guys didn't want
to go. And so on his Pro Football Reference page
it says Vince Young Pro Bowl Quarterback.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
The reality is.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Nobody wanted to go and he was the only dummy
that would go, and so they put him on the
Pro Bowl. Right, And you see this all the time.
You see this all the time. It's like, well, context
doesn't matter. I absolutely agree with Anthony Edwards. So I
am nodding my head. Yes, that is how it works.
And good job by Edwards, an enlightened young grasshopper. A
nice job by him, right, nice job by him. Profound
(10:02):
insightable the wisdom basketball wisdom of Solomon from Anthony Edwards here,
because being a replacement is like being a seat filler
at the Academy Awards and saying, hey, I was invited
to the Academy Awards.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Well you kind of word, but your kind of word,
all right?
Speaker 2 (10:20):
You know, because the person that's the nominee to win
the Academy Award was taking a whiz and you happen
to be sitting in their seat.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Does that count? I don't know. Probably not right. You're
at the show, but you're just filling a chair, all right.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Final fight headline from the clip Joint. Several of you
sent me this quote demanding a reference in the Mallard monologue.
So here we are a veteran Ford P J. Tucker,
You have a quote this week saying that there's not
enough basketballs on the planet for the Clippers All Star
(10:55):
lineup with James Harden joining Kawhi Leonard, Paul George and
Russell Westbrook. The Clippers are six and eight with James
Harden on the court since picking him up for reasons
only Steve Balmer appears to know. So thumbs up or
thumbs down, thumbs up or thumbs down to the Clippers
(11:16):
having a shortage of balls. Shortage of balls, So I'm
gonna go thumbs down on this one. I'm gonna go
thumbs down on this one. Uh, there are enough balls
available because they make a lot of They mass produce
basketballs at the Wilson's Sporting Good Global headquarters, which I
(11:36):
believe are in Chicago, So if you need balls, you
got the balls right there in Chicago.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
They got a lot of balls. To me, those balls
are perfect.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
The issue with the Clippers is the NBA only allows
you to use one ball at a time. That's the problem.
But there's still time for the Clippers roster to mold
into shape. Here to follow the science fiction TV show
from back in the day, which I guess has come
back on NBC and take a quantum leap. Take that
(12:04):
quantum leap, go through the trials and tribulations, figure out
who's gonna shoot and who's gonna there's enough shots in an.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
NBA game where you should.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Be able to feed pretty much everyone, but you've got
you gotta have some planning. You can't go helter skelter.
It's not gonna work. He said, well, what does that mean?
Let me explain. So last night we had this fugase
(12:35):
in season tournament thing.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Not a fan, not a fan. We'll just pick a
random game.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
The the Milwaukee Bucks played the Knickerbockers in the early
game in Wisconsin. So in that game, the Bucks took
ninety one shots and the Knicks took eighty seven. So
let's just say ninety shots a game. You got ninety shots,
so that means Harden gets fifteen, Kawhi gets fifteen, Paul
(13:03):
George gets ten, and then everyone else shares what's left.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
That should be enough shots. That should be enough shots.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Now, if you want to give Kawhi twenty and James
Harden twenty, that's forty. George gets fifteen, so now we're
at fifty five. The rest of the team should be
able to get enough shots. I'm helping him out.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
All Right's Ben Maler's show on Fox, and right now
it is time to get a degree, or at least
the third degree. So we'll do that. Here we go.
It's mallard. How about that?
Speaker 5 (13:34):
To the third degree?
Speaker 1 (13:35):
I just said that this is one big Ben gets
graill all right, cooberlup, Here we go.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
A report Monday said that even if quinn Ewers decides
to return to Texas for another year, arch Manning won't
be entering the transfer portal. He apparently likes it at Texas.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Ben. Would this be a bad move by Manning?
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Well, it would be an unnecessary move by arch Manning
because the family seems to be following this old world
approach that once you commit to a school, you stay
at the school and you don't transfer and all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
No, they have the transfer portal. You can get paid.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
He's making a lot of money, right, You gotta keep
up with the times college football free agency. He's making
a lot of money. You can get on the job
training and make a lot of money. And the nil
money that you're getting from Texas you can get from
Ohio State or Michigan or USC the other blue blood programs.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
There's a lot of nil money to go around.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
And having the best of both worlds getting into the
transfer portal, getting more money and actually playing.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
How about this for a conspiracy theory.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
What if the Manning family knows that Arch Manning is
a cheap ripoff version and the kid can't play, and
that's why they're happy he's not playing in Austin because
the longer this ruse can go on where he doesn't play,
people will think he's being deprived, but he actually can't
play next.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
It's also being reported that there is a belief around
the NFL that if the Cowboys do not make a
deep playoff run, Mike McCarthy will be fired and Dan
Quinn will take over as head coach.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Ben, are you buying that?
Speaker 2 (15:08):
No, I'm buying the part that Mike McCarthy number one
is going to be fired, that he's in the danger zone.
There's stranger danger for Mike McCarthy there. Jerry Jones. While
his face has not aged, his body is aging rapidly,
and the you know the clock is a ticket on
the Cowboys actually doing something, not just being paper tigers
(15:29):
in the playoffs. The Quinn thing doesn't make a lot
of sense because he's a he's not a sexy higher.
He's been a head coach before, and his moment in
the sun was the greatest choke job in the history
of pro football for the Atlanta Falcons against the Patriots
and the Super Bowl. So the only thing he's got
going for him, dan Quinn is he would work without
(15:51):
a big ego, and I guess he's part of the
Cowboy family.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
But other than that, you want somebody else next.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
Tyron Taylor was activated off the ir on Monday, and
it has led to questions on who will start for
the Giants this week. Boomer as science and said on
a radio interview that not playing Tommy DeVito would be
one of the dumbest things Brian Daball could do.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Ben is he right?
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Well, according to Brian Dable, he is right because Brian
Dabele said Tommy DeVito has earned the start against the
Packers this weekend. But deep down, if you gave some
truth serum to the Giant brass there, they would say, hey,
we would rather have Tyrod Taylor.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
He's the savvy veteran.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
And even though Tommy Cutltz is a good nickname, he's
a Jersey kid. He's not that talented. Although his numbers
have actually been all right the last month or so.
He had a big game against the Washington football team
and whatnot. But there it is Mallard of the third degree.
How did we do?
Speaker 1 (16:45):
And he passes a diation that is a winner.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
You can put her on the ball, won the.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Gag, I won the game. We're gonna have a new
Mallard song later this hour.
Speaker 2 (16:57):

If I told you the time Adam Sandler walked into
me at a Knicks game against the Clippers at what
used to be called Staples Center. He came in through
the regular entrance, he didn't come in through the celebrity entrance.
And he had his head down because he thought no
one would recognize him because he's Adam F.

What is the answer? Listen, does anyone know the answer?
A showing of slap shot guessed by Donkey Sausage.
Speaker 1 (19:46):

(21:21):
the mallord riddle of to day?
Speaker 5 (21:23):
Here?
Speaker 1 (21:23):
It is one more time lightning goal.
Speaker 6 (21:24):
The Andre Bazilevski had a recent postgame interview session interrupted

Speaker 7 (21:29):
Well, instead of me giving the answer, which I know,
how about we.
Speaker 2 (21:32):

Speaker 1 (21:58):
Not that we end. Yeah, I have to say it
wasn't good shielding the lost game. But oh that was
the question. Yeah, yeah, so all right, Stobb shop about it.
That's all we wanted to hear. Now are you gonna
(22:18):
deny what happened there? Eddie? Are you gonna deny what
I heard? My mo my lying years Just.
Speaker 6 (22:24):
Like when Jim Tom Sulla coached the forty nine ers
and farted in the middle of a news conference.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Andre Vassilowski. Now was he We don't know. It might
have been him. Why do you know he wasn't the
fart else, You don't know whether he was the farther
or not. He was the one that left. Maybe he
was laughing at his own work. He was honoring his
own work. The great thing is when you're in it
a media environment like that, there's a lot of people.
Nobody knows who the fart is except the person that
(22:51):
did it. Other than that, it's all speculation. It is
all fart speculation, fun fart facts, though, Eddie, here's the
fun fact. Nine percent, ninety nine percent of farts are odorless.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Did you know that only? Yes, yes, only one percent
of farts.
Speaker 7 (23:11):
That is false data.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
That is, I got this on the internet.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Only one of farts is made with hydrogen sulfide.
Speaker 6 (23:19):
That's what smells. How about this said the average human being.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Yeah, brothers and sisters here pass gas between thirteen to
twenty one times a day. And congratulations, lady ladies, you
apparently win you fart more than men. So congratulations women.
Hear me fart right there? So that's all the fart
facts I have, Eddie, but thanks to Andrea Basilevski, and
(23:45):
that must have been a smeller. That must have not
because you could hear it, but it must have also
had a smell.
Speaker 7 (23:50):
The thing is, though, when you're in a hockey locker room,
you could drop a deuce and know one would smell
because they have everything else smells so bad.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
Well, the goaltender's equipment smells terrible. That's a. That's a.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
I have not been in a hockey locker room in
a while, and I'm not missing it. I'm not missing
because it smells.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Just discussed.
Speaker 5 (24:05):
Be sure to catch live editions of the Ben Mellor
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.

We've endored too many of these?
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Has it too much or not enough enough? Already to
the game? We go and a man that loves this
game more than any other game, Chris in the Commonwealth.
Hello Christopher, good morning. Oh god, I have to make
up make amends for password a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 5 (26:04):
I was so.
Speaker 6 (26:05):
Embarrassed password, the word game of idiots.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Password.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
Yes, you got a shot here at Redemption, so good
luck to you.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Chris in the Commonwealth. And away we go with question.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Number one, with the Iowa minute warming up on deck,
the Iowa minute greatest thirty six minutes in all of radio.
The Atlanta Falcons haven't allowed a touchdown in twenty consecutive postseasons?
Is that too much possession? Did I say postseason? Why
did I say? That would obviously be wrong? The Atlanta
Falcons haven't allowed a touchdown in twenty consecutive possessions?
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Is that too much or not enough?
Speaker 2 (26:51):
I repeat that the Falcon.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Okay, now you're blaming me. How dare you? Are you
trying to google it?
Speaker 6 (26:58):
The Falcons having a the Atlanta defense is not allowed
to touchdown in twenty consecutive possessions by the other team.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
Is that too much or not enough?
Speaker 5 (27:09):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (27:09):
That's too much?
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Let's find out. Is that correct? Now?
Speaker 2 (27:15):
I believe it or not, it's not enough. The defense
has not allowed to touchdown in twenty four consecutive possessions.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
You know what that is?
Speaker 6 (27:26):
That is a byproduct of playing the Saints and the Jets,
is what that is?
Speaker 1 (27:30):
That is what that is?
Speaker 9 (27:31):
All right?
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Question number two?
Speaker 2 (27:32):
On Sunday, Michael Pittman Junior had his seventh game this
season with eight or more catches?
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Is that too much or not enough? Not enough? It
says not enough? Is he right? That is correct?
Speaker 2 (27:48):
It is The Colts wide receiver is ninth game with
eight or more catches, the most in the league. Question
number three. Puka Nokua just became only the fifth rookie
wide receiver to have three games of one hundred and
fifty or more scrimmage yards in a season. Is that
too much or not enough for the ram rookie?
Speaker 1 (28:13):
Not enough? Not enough?
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Let's find out now that's too much. He is only
the third rookie wide receiver to accomplish that, joins Randy
Moss and Jamar Chase Pooka Nokoua. You can ram it
all day, ram it all night, and could have been
a Patriot. By the way, Chris, the Rams got it
in the fifth round, but that Patriots scouting staff apparently
didn't think Pooka Nikoua was any good. Question Number four,
(28:37):
Here we go. Last week, Tray Young, you gotta get
these last two right to win the game. Last week,
Trey Young had his eighth career forty five point ten
assist game.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Is that too much or not enough?
Speaker 7 (28:52):
Too much?
Speaker 6 (28:54):
Chris and the CommonWell says too much to stay alive?
Let's find out is he right?
Speaker 1 (28:58):
It is for too much?
Speaker 6 (29:03):
It was his sixth touch game, passing Dame Lillard for
fifth most in NBA history.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
That comes down to this, the seminal moment. Are you ready,
Chris and the Commonwealth?
Speaker 4 (29:14):
I am ready?
Speaker 1 (29:15):
And Nikil Harry, Yeah, our go ahead. Here we go.
This is it. This is big final question. Last one.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
This past weekend, DeAndre Hopkins another guy that could have
been a Patriot. DeAndre Hopkins became the twentieth player in
NFL history to reach twelve thousand career receiving yards. Is
that too much or not enough for the win. He says,
not enough. Let's find out if he's.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Right or wrong. Here we go. That's so not enough.
Good job about you, Chris. You get a goal that deck.
Speaker 6 (30:00):
As he is the twenty ninth, the twenty ninth player
in NFL history to reach that mark.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
So congratulations to you, redemption. Congratulations redemption. For you are right,
and go.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
Take a nap because the Iowa Minute is straight ahead.
We'll get to that. I'm looking forward, he said something.
I couldn't know what was he saying. I couldn't looking forward?
Speaker 8 (30:23):
Looking forward to it?
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Oh, looking forward to the Isola. All right, I'll good, Okay,
we will have the Iowa Minute with Iowa Sam. Who
else would give us the Iowa Minute. We'll get to that.

Let me know, all right, I was gonna talk Iowa football,
so you know, I might, I might not, No, I will, Ben.
Speaker 4 (31:50):
We're in that time of the year for quote seasonal
Iowa Minute depression.
Speaker 8 (31:55):
It's not so much weather related. I do live in California.
Not much to plain about here, although it does get
dark before five pm. It's a sadness ban of sadness
about the change in sporting seasons. But also I'm done
giving out harvest reports. All of Iowa's grain is in
the bin. Folks retreat to the warmth of their homes.
(32:18):
They had big celebrations after they get all the up.
I mean, it's definitely like, you know, work is done
for a little bit. Go fix and clean your your
your machines.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
Onto the next though. You got a plant, new stuff.
Speaker 8 (32:29):
Yeah, but you got a long hard winter ahead. You know,
the ground is frozen.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (32:34):
And college football finds itself winding down. And for Iowa
versus Michigan in the Big Ten Championship game.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
I gotta tell you, Iwa, Iowa Hawkeye football lived up
to the hype.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
They lived up to the billing.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
You can say what you want about them, but they
the scouting report was right on the Hawkeyes offense.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
Uh yes, it very much so.
Speaker 8 (32:51):
And it met Michigan, punctuating a thirteen and o season
over the Hawkeyes.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Overine.
Speaker 8 (33:01):
Finally, on some two yards, cign extends the lead to
nine to nothing over Iowa.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
Now, the Hawkeves were right there until Michigan scored and
then it was over.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (33:11):
