Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go. Welcome to the original recipe podcast. It
is the Ben Maler Show with limited commercial interruption. I
would be Ben, Yes, Welcome to our Wednesday Hump Day
extravaganza on this twelfth day of June. Later on tonight
there will be an NBA Finals game, and that is
where we start. The Celtics Christops porsingis known as the Unicorn,
(00:23):
has suffered what's described as a rare leg injury. His
status for the rest of the Finals is up in
the air. How big a deal is this? Also, the
Mavericks Luka Doncik got an injection for a chest bruise
before Game two of the Finals, and we'll likely need
another one before Game three. What do you make of this?
(00:43):
And NBA insiders think JJ Reddick will want to avoid
the Laker circus after the coaching search fiasco with the
Yukon coach. Does this pass the smell test? We'll get
to that and more right now here. It is our
number one feeling a little greed, just a little green.
(01:08):
Welcome in the beginning of another night of the Ben
Malor Show. We are together in the air everywhere as
we are mixing and mingling, and we snap back on
these microphones coast to coast, border to border, and beyond
(01:28):
all the vast and refreshingly powerful microphones of FSR emmnating
live from the tent as we camp out inside the
injury tent on the sidelines. We're broadcasting live from the
Tirak dot com studios. Tyrac dot com will help you
get there in unmatched selection, fast free shipping, free road
(01:52):
hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended installers. Gum Beat
Dave has ten thousand gumbies in his collection, but not
quite as impressive as the ten thousand recommended in stars
tyraq dot com. The way tire buying should be and
we were back at it. Are we breaking down an
(02:14):
NBA Finals No, no, we're not breaking down an NBA
Finals game because there was no game to be played.
But we do go too deep in the heart of
Texas into the greater Dallas metropolitan area that was the
site of NBA Finals Media Day Part two. More puffery
(02:36):
puff The Magic Dragon was there. The biggest development came
from the Boston side of things, as they are up
two games to love in the NBA Finals. Now, if
you did not hear, and perhaps not, perhaps not, we
learned that Chris Stops Porzingis, that is a very tall
human being that occasionally plays well and often doesn't play
(03:01):
at all. Chris Stops Porzingis suffered what has been described
as a quote rare injury and it involves his left
leg and other stuff in you, tendons and some other stuff.
It's an injury we've we've never heard of, and we've
heard of just about every ridiculous injury you can possibly
come up with, but not the injury he suffered. So
(03:24):
a rare left leg injury involving tendons. And what is
the prognosis, Well, the prognosis mixed messages here. The Celtics
say that Porzingis is day to day. They issued a
news release saying that Prezingis is day to day very
(03:44):
well could play here on Wednesday night in game number three,
but Joel Mosula said this is a serious injury and
the Celtics are not allowing Porzingis to decide whether or
not he plays. Porzingis, for what it's worth reporters, he
said he's optimistic that it'll be able to play in
game three. Okay, so let us discuss the question. The
(04:08):
Celtics Christpsports and it gets better known as the Unicorn
has suffered what is described as a rare leg injury.
His status for the rest of the finals is up
in the air everywhere. How big a deal is this?
Is this the turning point? So I've got hang ten,
roller coaster, and handshake, and we will combine all of
(04:31):
these things together and we are going to make a
bouncy ball, which is what they use in pro bouncy ball.
So a is this the turning point? No, this is
not the turning point. You might want to turn this
into the turning point, but it's not the turning point
in terms of winning the series. You play to win
the game. In terms of winning the series, this is
(04:53):
a pimple on a blue whale's stomach, is what it
is somewhere out there in the Pacific. It's minuscule, is
what it is. And there are people that are conflating
this with some kind of dramatic Shakespearean plot twist. I
don't see it. And I'm never wrong about these things.
I am never wrong about these things. Let me put
(05:15):
a call on hold here, hold on, sick. There we go,
all right, But I'm never wrong. I'm never wrong about
these things. Now, given porzingis his history, a massive injury history,
it is unlikely unlikely Celtics are gonna get much Even
in place as a distant relative of Nostradamus and friend
of Nostradinas, Porzingis will mostly be just a decoy if
(05:40):
he plays in game three. That's my anticipation, and I
am upset because we talked about doing this, but we
didn't actually do it. We were gonna play Injury Bingo,
nothing more exciting than NBA Injury Bingo and the Unicorn.
We'd mentioned which game will Porzingis get hurt? We know
he's not going to make it the entire series without
(06:00):
having an injury, and he couldn't even make it all
the way through two games. By the end of game two,
Snap Crackle Pop goes the Cereal Bowl for Porzengis and
using our TikTok medical degree that we got online, there
the unicorn tore connective tissue near the ankle and that
(06:24):
led to a displaced tendon. So that's the issue. What
does that mean in the big picture, Well, it means
the Celtics are a little less, little less imposing without Perzingis,
but still much better. In fact, if you were to
say this was a race, and why not? It's a race.
The Celtics are a country mile ahead of the Mavericks
(06:48):
in terms of talent even without Porzingis. Have you seen
some of the turd Burgers plan for Dallas in this
series so far? You get that loser Kyrie Irving, that
fraud who was exposed by the way on social media.
But anyway, not a lot of people talking about that.
I wonder why now. My advice here to the Celtics
without Porzengis is to go Cowabunga dude and be surfer
(07:10):
like hang Ten as they say, and ride the tide.
Just ride the tide, ride the waves. And this means
more opportunity for average ol Al Horford. Average ol will
have more opportunity here, more minutes to put up average numbers.
But the secret sauce here has been Drew Holiday and
his Doberman defense for the Celtics and making the Dallas
(07:34):
basketball team a one trick pony. Speaking of that one
trick for Dallasca, Luca dancing. Do you see this? Luca
was listed on the Maverige Game three injury report hitting
into Wednesday night. Here tonight's game Game three. It's Wednesday
show as probable. So he's listed as probable to play
(07:56):
in Game three, with the only injury being a a
contusion to the chest, the thoracic contusion. I believe that's
how it's it anyway, No longer a right knee spray
not listed. Now. The big revelation for porzingis is that
he received a pain killing injection before game two. Fortunately,
(08:20):
the Chargers team doctor did not give him that, so
he did not have to miss seven months or whatever,
but painkilling injection before game two to manage the intense pain,
the throbbing pain, and he is expected to get another
one of those injections before game number three, possibly during
(08:42):
Game number three at halftime. Sometimes they do those things
at halftime. So the Mavericks Luka Doncik getting an injection
prior to game two and likely another one before game three,
what do you make of that development? So what do
you make of that? To him? I've got classical drama
(09:03):
O rama NBA style surf piping hot piping' hot right
there from the Willis Reid game years ago before mainstream
media cared about the NBA. To the Michael Jordan flu game,
which we learned during COVID was a food poisoning game
to the Kobe Bryant flu game, which I think was
(09:23):
also food poisoning. So all these these various games, and
now you can add conceivable. If it goes the way
of Dallas, you would add the Luca injection perfection game
for the mav Recks, all because of a bruce. Remember,
a contusion is a fancy way to say a bruise.
I wish I had known that when I was a kid.
It would have sounded much cooler. I got banged out,
(09:46):
I got a contusion. It doesn't sound as cool when
you say I got bruise. It doesn't sound cool, right,
it sounds weak. But it's going to be a roller coaster.
All right, It's gonna be a roller coaster. And here's why,
Because you're gonna have does he take the shot early?
Does he take the shot midway through the game. It's
gonna be equal parts exhilarating, frightening, and terrifying. If you
(10:07):
care for the Mavericks. We have a few people that
listen to the show and occasionally call in. They do
care about the Mavericks. But the issue we see this
in football. It's more of a football thing than a
basketball thing. But the effects of the medication, the toxicity
of the medication where off you can only take one.
(10:28):
So do you take it before the game, right before
tip off, and then you come out game busses, which
is what Luca did in Game two, or do you
have to try to tough it out, figuring Dallas is
at home and you can suck in the first half
and then in the second half you can go guns
a blazer. All right, So that's the decision. You make
(10:50):
the call. Now, since the Mavericks are at home, the
smart thing would be to just kind of figure you
figure still be in the game at halftime. If you're
Dallas like them, something's are gonna blow them Mavericks at
unlikely that on the road that the Boston basketball team
will come out and just blow the doors off the Mavericks,
at least in the first half. So you're you're deciding
(11:10):
between pregame and halftime. You would go halftime, all things
being equal. It is interesting to note, though the official
family doctor for Luca nnci I think, is it doctor Pepper?
Is that true? He loves doctor Pepper right now? Who doesn't? Now?
The last word here? We hop on the coaching carousel,
Round and round and round and round, round and round
(11:33):
and round and round we go on the coaching carousel.
Follow up Obligatory, Obligatory Laker La La Land Malar monologue,
The historians kicked in the nuts by a college coach.
All this has been playing out the last couple of
days of Laker franchise in full panic mode right now,
a lot of embarrassment. I'm enjoying every second of it.
(11:54):
They're the laughing stock of the entire NBA, the Los
Angeles Lakers. They suck, they can't. They embarrassed themselves. The
embarrassments say, this is Dan Hurley thing that Genie Buss
and the Lakers flew Dan Hurley out from Connecticut. The
only reason you would do that is because you thought
(12:15):
you had a deal to hire Dan Hurley. Otherwise you
wouldn't risk the embarrassment. But ta da, we've already been
through this. We don't need to rehash it. Oh, it's
a lot of fun to rehash. I really like rehashing
the story. Boys, it fun. So the Lakers are in
scramble mode, trying to pick up the pieces of the
broken windshield. There's a lot of pieces of glass everywhere
(12:35):
and now the latest if you haven't heard, some NBA
insiders believe that JJ Reddick, who's believed to be the
preferred choice now that Yukon's coach has gone back to
stores Connecticut, Dan Hurley, So JJ Reddick, the insider crowd,
there's a popular opinion by popular people that Reddick will
avoid the Lakers quote circus unquote after the fiasco that
(13:01):
took place with the Yukon coach. Does that one pass
the smell test? So the good thing about this is
when you do the smell test, I have a very large,
large nose, so I have the Schnazola test, the malar
schnazzol the test. This take fails. That's a failed take.
Go back to take jail. That's a failed take. I'll
(13:22):
tell you why. JJ Reddick. Let me be clearer. He
has no business being an NBA head coach. The guys
a fraud as a broadcaster, he's unlikable. He's got no
coaching experience, so he checks none of the boxes other
than sucking the toes of Lebron James. Other than that,
(13:44):
that's it, and that's all the qualifications one needs. But
aside from that, you take the job because you're unqualified.
And it's a lot of big money under the big Top.
There a lot of big money, and the Lakers are
desperate to save face. And so if they hire JJ Redick,
we got pat Riley until we fire him in two years,
(14:05):
well when Lebron's got but we got pat Riley. And
that handshake that is a golden handshake. That's a special handshake,
golden handshake, big money, big money, big money handshake. All right,

You can follow your host on x He's at Ben
Mallor and you can post that and follow me. Eddie Garcia,
your humble sidekick, the voice of Reason, your news guy,
you're announcer guy. I'm at Eddie on Fox and I'm
(16:32):
I from the tire rac dot Com Fox Sports Radio Studios.
It's Ben Mallor.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
We have a murderer's row of big name callers here
lined up. This is a who's who in the mal
of militia, one after another. How many of them will
fall asleep? We don't know. We will find out coming
up a little bit later. Yes, Rob in Vegas as
rest in peace to Joey Chestnut, former fifth hour podcast
(17:00):
guest multiple guests on the fifth hour, my friend Joy
chest Night. I have his number. I've seen about calling him,
like in the middle of the whole thing, like hey, Hey,
what's going on, Joey?
Speaker 2 (17:09):
How you doing?
Speaker 3 (17:09):
Man?
Speaker 1 (17:10):
And he'd be like, who the f are you got?
You get my number? You gave me my number, You
gave me your number two years ago or three years
or whatever. It was so good. Jordan says, if Kyrie
had any influence on Luca, I'm guessing Luca won't be
getting the shot at all. But I'm bumped there you go. Yeah,
uh well, Luca's gonna self medicate. He's gonna bathe in
(17:32):
a bathtub of doctor pepper and eat some some twinkies.
I'm not against. I'm not against. Art Puffin says, no
MLB mallor monologue. What about ti Oscar Hernandez. Yeah, I
debated it. By this Major League Baseball ended up on
the editing room floor. In terms of the monologue, I
(17:54):
will with some baseball stuff that caught my attention, but
it's not gonna be a monologue because when the goat
of goats is banned from the super Bowl, this is
a kin to Patrick Mahomes not being allowed to compete
in the bleeping Super Bowl. What Major League Eating is
doing is blasphemy. This is the most defensive thing I've
(18:16):
seen in a long time. My guy, Joy Chad. Now,
I don't agree with Chestnut going vegan, and I think
that's un American, and I think that's disgusting you and
it's not right but not right. But he's getting paid
a lot of money for so I would have done
the same thing. But and uh, and you know, he's
just doing it for the money. He's he's not a vegan,
the guy. The guy eats any part of an animal
(18:38):
and a lot of it. Well, he is not exactly
he's not keeping kosher edith.
Speaker 5 (18:43):
You know, I'm not a conspiracy guy. Yeah, however, doesn't
this feel like a work? This is all just publicity
for his vegan hot dogs? And then at the last
second he's gonna he's gonna chime in and and go
for it.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
I've interviewed a couple of Major League yeters over the years.
We've had we had one in studio years ago, and
from what I've heard, the people that run the eating
contest are complete a holes. They're like JJ Reddick types,
you know, just total schmucks. So they should let they
should let him in at the last minute. It'd be awesome.
Speaker 5 (19:16):
I'm saying. I'm saying it's on his side.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
What they should do is like the day before, announced
that Chestnut's going to be in it, and then he
can have his willis reed moment where he comes. How
about how about this way he comes out of a
phone booth and he rips his jersey. They don't have
phone booths, No, I don't have but Superman Eddie, right
and Superman. What's the what's the equivalent of a phone booth?
What could they uh, Lorraine, what could they use? Lorraine?
Speaker 6 (19:40):
I have no idea.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Ben. Okay, thank you. Why were you raising your head?
Speaker 6 (19:47):
I wanted to tell you the first time I saw
him eating hot dogs, Okay, it was such a magical moment.
Speaker 7 (19:53):
I was.
Speaker 6 (19:53):
It was a fourth of July down here in California
on vacation, right right, yeah, And I walked in with
a late of food from the barbecue, and I just
see this man shoving his face full of hot dogs.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Yeah. I was like, legend, it's a it is. It's beautiful.
People have died, people have died doing it. It's inspiring.
More people have died in eating events than playing baseball.
That's crazy. That is a crazy fact.
Speaker 6 (20:18):
I remember that and quote you now for the rest of.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
My life when I watch these Is it now the
nickname he's known as the Glizzy? Is it Glzzy Goblins?
What the hell does that mean? I don't even know
what that means? What does that mean? I don't want
to know.
Speaker 6 (20:31):
Well, is a hot dog?
Speaker 7 (20:32):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Okay, how did that become a hot dog? I know? Right,
I don't know a Glzzy? Oh God? Well, the Gobblers
must be an East Coast thing. I don't know it is. Yes,
it's fairly recent though, Right. I have family on the
East Coast, and I've never heard them use that term.
I guess they're all it's a new thing.
Speaker 6 (20:51):
Okay, you should try it next time you go order
a hot dog? Be like, can I get a Glizzy?
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Number five?
Speaker 5 (20:57):
Where do you order hot dogs at? Be a hot
dog place?
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Where can't you get hot dogs? You gotta go to
Chicago's hot Dogs everywhere.
Speaker 5 (21:07):
Wiener's Circle Circle of Wiener Eddy Disneylandier Circle.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
There's a winner circle. Yes, some of us don't have passes. Eddy,
you know of course Disney has a week I could
go to like Wiener Schnitzel. That's still a thing out here,
Wiener Schnitzel. Yeah, exactly. All right, Well, I'm sure we'll
have a lot of joy chestnut conversation because that'll be great.
But I'm sorry, Art Puffin no full baseball monologue. Super
(21:34):
Marcus Steve says, if I was impossible, Meats, I would
hold a live stream of Joy Chestnut eating hot dogs
at the exact time the Nathan's contest is going on,
just to prove how dumb it was that he was
not allowed in the competition. This is reminiscent. Do you remember,
I'm old enough, I'm old Addie. I go back to
Kobyashi and this Kobyashi was the original stud of Major
(21:59):
League eating and he got banned as well Kolbe and
he's he's persona non grata. And so now Joey Chestnut
has followed in those footsteps. Super Marcus Steve also says
we haven't seen a great athlete taken down in his
prime by this since Muhammad Ali free chestnut, A free
(22:21):
chest nut, He says, absolutely correct, a absolutely correct. Who
else do we have page down? Cowboy Drew says, Travis
Kelcey should fall off the planet seems a little extreme.
Rod the ambassador of Baker's Field, is checking in. He says,
Joey Chestnut can use an outhouse bend. That's before and after,
(22:45):
patty before and after. Oh, yeah, they come out of
the porta potty that.
Speaker 5 (22:50):
Those things and then afterwards go back in. Yeah, you
asked him about that right in the fifth Hour podcast.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Yeah, we we did a deep dive on like how
many days it takes for everything that come out and
like what's the process like to get everything that went
in out? And there's there's a lot to it, and
he does stretch the boundaries of the human body. It's
rather stunning what the body can do when it comes
(23:16):
to eating large coins of He's not a large guy.
He moved, he told me he moved to Indianapolis. He's
from northern California, Chestnut, but he moved to Indianapolis because
he travels so much to eating events and most of
the population lives on the eastern seaboards, so logistically it
made more sense for him to live in Indies. It
is a short flight everywhere that he goes to take
(23:39):
part in these events, but I mean the amount of
strain on the body. He's absolutely a world class athlete.
And we'll get more to that later. We will international
reporters say the darnedest things. We'll have an update on
that will also take some of these legs and dairy
(24:00):
callers as well. I see them lined up. But right now,
right now, let's get you caught up on everything going
on in the overnight and we say hello to games
of note.
Speaker 5 (24:10):
Garcia, all right, thanks man. We start with NBA News
Game three of the Final coming up Wednesday in Dallas,
with the Mavericks trailing the Celtics two games to nothing.
As you were talking about, Celtics have listed center Chris
Tompsporzingiss questionable for Game three with a lower leg.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Aren't we allready? I'm not questionable, I am. I'm probable.
I might sleep during Game three. I don't know.
Speaker 5 (24:33):
I definitely would do that. NHL News have been to
another starting on dry settle not find.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Or suspended face Garcia elbow Here we go, Eilers, here
we go.
Speaker 5 (24:44):
Cheaters, just like Ben Maller his elbow to the head
at Florida captain Alexander Barkoff went unpunished.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
I think you'll play Barkoff's head that hit the elbow
the other way. That makes a lot of sense, Absolutely correct.
Speaker 5 (24:56):
Cheater Barkoffs Status Panthers, Unknown Panthers leave the series two
games to nothing.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
That won't last long? Right back keeping, David, He's going

Speaker 7 (26:04):
Yet?
Speaker 5 (26:05):
Those are all porn stars Stefan Castle, Dalton Connect to
Jean Sallin.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Are these tennis players.
Speaker 5 (26:14):
Ron Holland, Cody Williams, Devin Carter and Jacoby Walter. I
don't know any idea who any of these guys.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Are, all men that identify as men.
Speaker 5 (26:25):
These are the twelve players that have been invited to
sit in the green room at the NBA Draft. So
these apparently are the I would guess somewhere top fifteen
players apparently, So I'll be honest. I've heard of one
of these guys, I did hear. I have heard of
Dalton Connect from Tennessee. The rest of them, I gotta
be is an example, Eddie. I know a couple of
(26:47):
them played at Yukon and won the title.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
This is an example, though, Eddie, why you should never
tank in the NBA, because that's who you wind up
with most of the time.
Speaker 5 (26:55):
That's been Remember been back in our day, back in
the olden times?
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Where are you like everybody were you like?
Speaker 5 (27:00):
Knew all these guys?
Speaker 1 (27:02):
You know their moms, you knew their dad's name, you
knew where they grew up, you.
Speaker 5 (27:07):
Were excited to watch the draft to see where these
guys that you followed in college were going to go.
Now that's it's just gone.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
I mean you knew their favorite type of donuts, whether
it's for.
Speaker 5 (27:14):
Better or for worse. It might say worse. It's just
who are these guys knowing?
Speaker 1 (27:18):
Yeah? All right, Well that wasn't fun, but this is
it was fun? Yeah, very fun. Fact, did you know
that Luka Doncik is currently shooting forty six point two
percent from the foul line in these NBA Finals. Now
that sounds pretty bad, right, But how about the rest
(27:39):
of the story at this moment. If you go side
by side, Shaquille O'Neil shot better in his career during
his appearances in the NBA Finals with the Lakers and
the Heat and you know all those teams. Then Luca
is currently shooting. And I remember I covered when the
Lakers played the Indiana Pacers in the NBA Finals. Oh
(28:00):
my god, the games took forevery eddy. I mean, it
was it was so I think it was Larry Bird
was coaching the Pacers. It was so annoying. We just
wanted to get the damn game over and they kept
playing hack a shack and it was a pain in
the ass. But congratulations to Luke. You'd think that is
the one. I've said this many times. Of all the
things in sports that any man, woman or child could do,
(28:21):
shooting a foul shot is the one thing. No one
is guarding you. You're by yourself. It is an undefensed play.
It's an undefensed play. It's it's not even like in hockey, say, well,
breakaway goal, but you still have a goaltender. Maybe an
empty net goal, but even then they're trying to stop
the puck from going in the empty net. But in basketball,
(28:42):
shooting a foul shot, it's right there and they still
I mean, he's forty six percent. No one's guarding you,
you're by yourself at the left fascinating. Should not shoot
less than seventy five really less than eighty percent as
a professional player. From the line, let's go to the phones,
mark the I gotta go to hollering James because I
(29:02):

I don't know what to give you, Like are you
you're talking about like weight, like consumed weight.
Speaker 5 (33:13):
I don't know what what do you I'm not qualified
to answer that, So I guess whatever your answer is
is what the best answer would be. Like you know,
several bulls, several balls, so uh over under three.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Over o wow. Yeah. Remember when Coop had a medical card,
it was a medical condition. Now he's so glasses. But man,
have I been on this show that long?
Speaker 3 (33:53):
Well?
Speaker 1 (33:54):
Man alive? All right? Real quick? I wanted to pay
this off. So the europe is a tradition at the
NBA Finals is big party for the European media. They
run up their expense accounts. They come from all parts
of the world. His basketball is popular all over the place.
So a reporter from Brazil at the NBA Finals asked
Joe Missoula, this is so great. The question was, Hey,
(34:17):
do you agree that Jason Tatum is playing his best
basketball right now? Tatum, who often can't hit the broadside
of a barn in the NBA Finals, he's been shooting
terribly for the Southeast. But that was the question for
a Brazilian reporter to Joe Missoula. Joe Missoula has responded.
He said, quote, in America, nothing is good enough and
it's about what you can do for me right now?
(34:41):
What a sob story? Isn't it like that everywhere?
Speaker 5 (34:44):
Though?
Speaker 1 (34:44):
Like, how is it any different? It does? Like, yes,
if you suck people, I would like to think people
in Brazil, if you know, they don't really care that
much about basketball. But if a soccer player stinks, they're
gonna call out the player. So how is it any
different here than anywhere else? It's called human nature? You
bowz out? What's wrong with you?
Speaker 5 (35:05):
All? Right?
Speaker 8 (35:05):
Time?
Speaker 1 (35:05):
Now for the who am I game? We'll go to baseball,
where pitcher Grant Anderson did something very hard to do
allowed four home runs to the Dodgers in a single inning.
I am the only other Texas Rangers pitcher to allow
four home runs in a single inning since that has
been kept track of since nineteen seventy four. Again, Grant
(35:27):
Anderson had a night to forget or a night to remember,
depending how I look at it, allowed four dingers to
the Dodgers in a single inning. I am the only
other Texas Rangers pitcher to allow four home runs in
a single inning since nineteen seventy four, when they began
tracking that information. Who Am I the answer? We'll get
to it. We'll do it next.

Time now for the who Am I? Game? And here
it is a picture named Grant Anderson, who I don't
know who that is either, but look great against the Dodgers.
About four dingers in a single inning, I am the
only other Texas Rangers pitcher in franchise history to allow
four home runs in a single inning since way back
(36:45):
in nineteen seventy four when they began tracking said information.
So who am I Rod the Ambassador of Bakersfield going
with Charlie Huff Cowboy Killer says Sylvester the Cat is
the way to go. Alf the Alien Opiner says it's
got to be happy days number four starter Patzi, Well,
that's a dated reference. Who else we have a vegan
(37:07):
hot Dogs guessed by fer dog Page Dan Andrew in
the Bay Areas going with FSR Technical producer Mark from Chicago,
Desi Rellaford guests by mister nice Guy Tommy Chong from
King Rory Dixie upright from Art Puffin that's his answer.
Elloy from Compton going with Big Sexy Bartolo Cologne Coke
(37:31):
Go Beware from Rob in Vegas who always honors the
legends of wrestling when he has the opportunity. Milkman Mike
and Colorados is hollering James Alter ego daddy Nobucks. That
would be a funny skit though, Like he's out trying
to find a sugar baby as a sugar daddy and
he hands the woman a big bag of sugar from
(37:52):
the grocery store and says, here you go have as
much as you want.
Speaker 7 (37:56):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (37:57):
John Burkett from Late Night Drug Tester. That's a pretty
good name. Who else do we have? Paige Dan page Down,
Gunner Henderson of the Art of Sports Talk, Billy Chappell
from Benito the Long Suffering Cowboy fantasy is the answer
is the legend from the Tigers, Billy Chapel. Who else
do we have? Page Down? Page Down? A lot of
(38:20):
Bartolo Cologne guests, the Matt the Warrior Raider, Tom Brady
roast fan went with that. All right, do you have
an answer?
Speaker 7 (38:28):
Ed?
Speaker 2 (38:28):

Speaker 1 (38:28):
It's not Bob Tewksbury guest by Robin Minnesota or my
got Malar Ruben going with Doyle Alexander or Quagmire from
Slim Tim Those are all.
Speaker 5 (38:38):
Fine guests, are It's not my guest? My guess is
the knuckleballer Charlie Huff, Great.
Speaker 1 (38:44):
Ranger pitcher Charlie Huff. That's incorrect. The correct answer a
guy who got trumped by his kid, Pat Mahomes SR.
Rangers back in oh one. Remember Pat Mahomes Patrick Mahomes
(39:05):
dad pitching for the Minnesota Twins in the match, but
he also pitched for the Rangers gave up four home
runs on August seventeenth, of all one against the Toronto
Blue Jays. Mad Jack is cashing a golden ticket. So
let's say a lott of.
Speaker 5 (39:25):
Right line.
Speaker 1 (39:25):
Hello, mad Jack? Hello, how's Mallard? If I was any better,
I'd be a Ranger, But not a Texas Ranger because
they I got smoked by the Dodgers. Yeah.
Speaker 9 (39:41):
I'm gonna do you a solid. I heard that you
wanted to do a Mallard meeting greeton Oh tune, that's.
Speaker 7 (39:47):
A good idea.
Speaker 1 (39:50):
Better we shouldn't do? Where should we not do a
Mallard meet and greet?
Speaker 6 (39:55):
In Oakland?
Speaker 1 (39:56):
In Oakland? Well, yeah, we got a guy. We got
a guy who's got a bar there, the Kingfish in
in oak Our guy Alama Lou, he's offered the hostess.
Speaker 9 (40:07):
Well, you got a better guy here in San Dimas.
My better half, her uncle and her late father are
the famous Kicker family.
Speaker 8 (40:17):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, you know you know I used
to live not far from there. Yeah, yeah, you know
a guy, you know somebody my.
Speaker 9 (40:30):
Better half is a co owner.

Speaker 1 (40:37):
Well listen, all right, magine, listen, we're there. I mean,

Speaker 1 (40:48):
I'm there. I don't I listen. I love that area.
I'll be there. Yeah, there's the kickings and day hosses
and back in the day. Look at that Eddie mad
Jack hooking us up with the venue. The hardest thing
for these Mallard meat greets is a venue, because we
had our own the venues that'd be perfect. Even though
I think Lorraina might even show up to that one.
I think I possibly maybe, I don't know.
