the board for the NFL book them, and we will
have rounds five and six this hour, rounds five and six,
and we need a caller to represent the people. And
we're gonna have to go quick here because we've got
a lot of bits. This is a heavy hour for
bits in fact, coming up late this hour a fan favorite,
(04:02):
the Queen of Hearts with Lorrain up and so get
your questions in hashtag Queen of Hearts. We may have
to postpone too much or not enough. We'll see how
the bookam goes. We'll see how the time goes. I
am on time, Mallard by the clock for the clock,
plausibly all about the clock, So keep that in mind.
Our lead this hour, though, is from baseball. We start
(04:25):
out in baseball in the borough known as the Bronx,
where Yankees manager Aaron Boone, who somehow keeps his job there.
Aaron Boone giving a state of the Yankee address regarding
the headliner, Aaron Judge. So what is this about? So
Aaron Judge, if you haven't heard, it's snap, crackle pop
(04:49):
for Aaron Judge. But how bad is it? So he's
dealing with, oh my aching shoulder, some shoulder soreness. That
was the early report out of New York City. And
according to Aaron Boone, this has been going on for
a couple of weeks or so. So if you didn't
hear about it, maybe not. It has become problematic in
(05:10):
recent days. According to Aaron boone affecting the swing saw
wing ba dah, saw wing ba dah, the swing of
the Aaron Judge. And they had an MRI which confirmed
it was not a shoulder It was a bone bruise
in the upper right rib area. And this is not
(05:30):
one of those baby back, baby back ribs. This is
actually a very important rib as you know, the trunk area.
Every movement that you make, if you have an injury
in that area, it becomes problematic. And so I'm not
a doctor. I can play one on the radio. We're
all humans, so well some of you might not be,
but we that's the deal. That's the deal. So it's
been affecting his swing. An MRI confirming that as we said,
(05:55):
they said the Yankees there was not any serious structural
shoulder issue. So that's it. Now. It is interesting to
note that Aaron Judge was not in the Yankee lineup
against Cleveland, a game where the Guardians of the Galaxy,
the team named after a Bridge, was victorious. Uh and
(06:16):
Jose Caballero started in right field instead of Aaron Judge.
And we were told that Aaron Judge is scheduled to
meet with doctors. Several more doctors for further evaluation. Some
reports said he's going to see a specialist later today
to get another opinion, and he had doctor visits on Monday, Tuesday,
(06:40):
and now another one coming up later on Wednesday. Now,
the story that we're going to jump off on here
is the Yankees saying this is overall good news. They're
saying this is good news, and they're hinting, well, this
is going to be a short term thing. A Judge
is listed as day to day and it's not a
long term injury, and it just it impacts a swing,
(07:02):
but it's not as throwing. So everything's okay. So that
is a good jumping off point. Let us discuss the
question do you share do you share the Yankees optimism
that this injured rib thing of a jig is just
a minor delio for the captain of the Yankees, Aaron Judge.
(07:23):
So I've got Amtrak, John Sterling, and baggage carts and
we will combine all of these things together and we're
going to make a barbecue chicken burrito is what we're
going to make. Actually I made that. Actually that's not bad,
all right. Put a little barbecue sauce and there's some
(07:45):
chicken some other stuff. All right, So my first thought
here to answer the question, do you share the Yankees
optimism regarding the health and the outlook for Aaron Judge,
and I would like to quote the great weed Man, hippie.
You gotta be joking, Okay, you gotta be doing I
will be the grown up in the room. Aaron Judge,
last I checked, is six foot seven and listed at
(08:07):
over two hundred and eighty pounds. He's the size of
an old like back in the old days, that was
the size of an NFL offensive lineman. Now they're three
point fifty, but back in the old days that would
be the size of an NFL offensive line So there
is no such thing, no such thing as a minor
rib injury for a guy that size. The bigger they are,
(08:29):
I'm told, the faster they break down. And I go
by the Shack principle. Back in the day, if you're
old enough to there's a guy named Shaquille O'Neal who's
just a clown on TV. Now, he played basketball for
a long time, and it was the Shack principle when
he would get hurt. Based on history though, and call
me what you want, Aaron Judge and the Yankees they
(08:52):
always say always, and Aaron Boone and everyone on the
age they always say minor minor. Right before we get
a six week SOKA, the drama o rama kicks in.
And let's not forget the Yankees' medical staff has botched
more timelines on estimated return from injury than Amtrak. Okay,
(09:16):
and this, if you use the Schnaz test and you
smell it smells like a much bigger deal. Oh, you're
just being a shock jock. No, I'm not. I'm being realistic.
And here's why. It's not just the conga line of
specialists that Aaron Judge is running off to see. He's
on the Yellow Brick Road looking to find the Wizard
(09:38):
of Oz. It's more than that. It's because of late
this supposed minor rib injury. For Aaron Judge. He has
gone from the Bronx bomber to the Bronx flopper at
home plate and the Yankees want us to believe. Ah,
it's nothing, nothing to see here. So my evidence on this,
(09:58):
Aaron Judge, if you go back to the last sixteen games,
right around the time Aaron Boone says this thing happened.
Aaron Judge is batting below the Mendoza line. He's hitting
one point eighty with just one home run and a
slugging percentage which is buried in the Hudson River. It's terrible.
That is more than just a blip. That's more than
(10:21):
if this is Aaron Judge, and he can't have the
injury healed anytime soon without taking some time off. And
we know when these guys take time on the injury tent,
they're gone for a month. Good luck and the Yankee
It's not like the Yankees are in first place now.
Tampa Bay hasn't played very well recently. They're still low
(10:41):
in first place. If you look at the at the Bronx,
Aaron Judge is the center the way the team is designed.
He's the center of the wagon wheel and everything else
is around Aaron Judge, and that set up. The Yankees
have built their entire identity around number ninety nine. So
as he goes, so goes the season. I remember a
couple years ago Aaron Judge got into an incident. He
(11:05):
was manhandled by the fence at Dodger Stadium, the bullpen gate,
and that derailed the Yankees for a long period of time.
As Judge was out of the lineup. Now, secondly we
go to Anaheim, where the Angels are bad at baseball,
however continue to be really good at providing content. In
a random game which we would not have talked about,
(11:28):
the Angels and the Rockies got together. Now, why would
we These are two terrible teams. Why would you talk
about this game? You're a loser, that's why you're doing overnights.
Let me explain. So, the Angels right fielder Joe Adell
had a moment in time that was so good we
need to talk about have a conversation. So it was
(11:50):
in the fourth inning and there was a fly ball
by someone named TJ. Rumfield's I have no idea who
that is. Apparently plays for the Colorado baseball team, and
flyball right off his bat and it looked like it
should have been a routine play for a big league outfielder. However,
plot twist. For some reason that seemingly routine play, the
(12:14):
ball glanced off Joe Adell's glove. It then went cub
plunk right off his head. He's when a baseball had
at the ton and karmed over the fence for a
solo home run. Yeah, a doink home run. Now Colorado
was up eight to nothing at that point. They ended
(12:35):
up winning the game eight to two. Who cares about that?
Joe Adele seemed fine other than embarrassed. There's a little
red face there. Why wouldn't you be? He kind of
shook it off, which is good because most of the
time baseball players get hit, that's it. They're out for
two weeks. Question, with everything else that has happened, and
Odell's on Joydell's on pace. I think they like ground
(12:57):
thirty home runs or something like that. He's not hitting
for average, He's driving in a fair amount of runs
for the Angels, and the trade deadline is going to
be here in a month, about two months, and his
name has popped up as a possibility to enter the portal.
The question is what do you do with the Joe
Adele experience in Anaheim? This the latest chapter in this
(13:19):
wild ride for jo Adell. So after letting the homer
bounce clean off his head, right, this season has officially
become a Michael Jackson tune. It is strictly black or
white for Jo Adele. We are ruling the world, right,
I mean he's ruling the world here it's the box
(13:41):
of Crayola crayons and there's just two colors. That's it,
black or white, no middle ground. And in a season
where the Angels suck, this is a season of extremes
where Adele is either a Marvel comic superhero or a
one man blooper reel. He's the living embodiment of the
(14:02):
late great John Sterlings eternal shrug. That's baseball Susan Man,
the doink Dinger, the doint Dinger, oof El Classico. It
really was for a season fan which means you're old.
That immediately triggered a flashback anyone of a certain age remembers.
(14:22):
There was this guy named jose cansecoh bash Brother, steroid
guy back in the day for the old Oakland Athletics,
although at this time he was playing for the Texas Rangers.
This was in the early nineties, before I was alive,
of course, in nineteen ninety three, and he gave up
the head bop home run now, same deal. Oh, that
was more clean than the Joe Adell home run which ricocheted.
(14:44):
And apparently Odell I didn't remember this because it was
during the pandemic. But Adele back in twenty twenty. There
was a prequel back in twenty twenty where he gave
up a rare four base error. That was during the pandemic.
Now on the bright side for Joe Adell. Remember I
mentioned it's either black or white here for Joe Adele.
He is a noted defensive player, and we talked about
(15:08):
him back in April. He had not one, not too
but he had three home run robberies. He robbed the
Seattle Mariners of three home runs at the Big A
spectacular spider man. His spidy like sense is Joe Adell
leaping over the fence to catch the baseball, and Adele
giveth and Adele taketh and then he gives you a
(15:31):
migraine is what he gives you. So he's either a
superhero or a supernova. There is no middle ground, all right,
Final thought, don't tell Eddie Hockey game number one, game
number one of the twenty twenty six Stanley Cup Final.
I actually watched this game. Don't tell anybody, I'll ruin
my reputation. I was flipping between the baseball games, and
(15:53):
of course during the intermission, I stopped and went to
the baseball and then I went back to the hockey
back and forth, very entertaining game. It was not low scoring.
The Golden Knights, the dogs are the Golden Knights with
my favorite coaching hockey John Tortorella, have upset the Hurricanes
in Game number one. They win the final score of
(16:15):
five to four. The game was tied four to four.
Late in the third period, someone named Colton Sissons, I
don't know who that is, set up Thomas Hurtle for
the Golden Knights game winning goal. Better story is in
the losing locker room. So for the first time ever,
we're going to talk about the Carolina Hurricanes question. Who
gets the blame, the blame, any blaming me, blamingy for
(16:38):
the Carolina Hurricanes seemingly on a burner. They had all
the momentum, just like the Knicks, all the momentum. So
who gets the blame for the Carolina Hurricanes blowing? They
didn't really two nothing lead in this game and they
end up losing, had multiple leads, all lost. Obviously they
lose the game. So on this one, the coach, and
(16:59):
I'm at the age now where I interviewed him when
he played back in the day, Rod Brindemore his team
to quote towards sucked at a time you cannot suck,
and that's it. And from what I read leading in,
I was reading some of the you know, I haven't
watched much hockey this year, so I was reading some
of the stuff leading into the Stanley Cup finals kind
of set the tone, and everything I read said, oh,
this Florida Panthers team, their discipline, suffocating defense, the whole thing,
(17:24):
forcing opponents into errors and all that, and Carolina instead
goofed many times costly mistakes and puck handling a bit
of a problem. Bill Belichick should have read them. He
was at the game wearing his Carolina merch Belichick, he
should have read them the Riot Act, although he wasn't
(17:45):
coaching the team. The puck handling very sloppy. It seemed
like the rubber hockey puck had been dipped only when
Carolina had it for stretches of the game in Game one,
that they had dipped it in movie theater popcorn butter.
You know that buttery popcorn mix, And so they dipped
it in that movie theater butter popcorn, and an existential dread.
(18:10):
As it was bad. They were frazzled, disheveled and downright.
It was like a candy bar. They butter fingered it,
if you will. And so, as we know, in any sport,
not just hockey, in any sport, possession is nine tenths
of victory. And yeah, you're getting this team wide malaise. Now.
To answer the question, though individually, said the wise guy
(18:30):
behind the microphone, we give a dunce cap, the biggest
dunce cap we can find, of Frederick Anderson, the goaltender
for the Carolina hockey team football, the Carolina hockey team.
Here the goal who listen. He had played very well.
Looked at some of the numbers, and again this is
(18:51):
why you don't really pay attention to the stats and
all that. You get all excited and you're, oh, good stats.
That's why they that's why they play the games. But
he had great number coming in. This has been a
strength from everything I read leading into the Stanley Cup
final that Anderson had been wonderful. And then this became
a liability in the beginning. And there's really only one
(19:12):
word I would say to describe the way he played.
He choked. That Anderson choked, period stopped. That's it. Entering
the final, he had a nine to thirty one saved percentage,
which I'm told is good. And Anderson allowed five goals
on just twenty three shots for a puke in your
(19:32):
mouth seven to eighty three save percentage. And when I
mentioned he choked, that was at the beginning of the game.
He gave up three goals on the first eight shots
for Vegas. Three of the first eight shots went in
the net. Put the biscuit in the basket. And this
was a standard regret. Actually wasn't a standard regression of
(19:55):
the meme. He crashed, landed Anderson, the goaltender for Carolina,
skittered across the tarmac and took out not one, not two,
but three baggage carts. It was a complete meltdown and
looked like they picked up a guy early in the
game from some Beer League Tuesday night hockey game around midnight.
It is the Ben Mallor Show. If you'd like to
(20:17):
be part eight seven seven ninety nine, Oh Fox, I

At an airport in Salpaulo, they performed a blank for
the Brazilian soccer team before they left for the twenty
twenty six FIFA World Cup. Again, at an airport in

Oh yes, yes, yes, here's the Malay Riddle of day
at some random airport. I believe this was in sal Polo.
They performed a blank for the Brazilian soccer team before
(23:02):
they left to go off for the twenty twenty six
feet of World Cup, which apparently is coming up soon.
Evoi from Compton writes In says they performed the mallard oath.
Ferg Dog says yes, yes, yes, the Brazilian national soccer
team that did the malory. They performed the Slaying of
a Dragon starring Victor Wembanyama. Do not encourage Andrew and Bakersfield.
(23:27):
Bad job by you. They circumcised a mosquito, one of
the all time great soundbites from Jerry Jones, which was
not recorded in audio form. Get Procedure. Bobby in Florida
says they performed a good old fashioned donkey show from Mexico.
What else do we have? Page down an iouasca tea
(23:48):
tasting from Late Night drug tester lobotomies on the players
from Andy and Lionel Lakes, Minnesota. They handed out pineapple
spears soaked in kool aid. Spy King Rory Brazilian shoulder
massage for Aaron Judge and Deshaun Watson from Hungarian Mike.
Who else? We have a self mummification from JT the
(24:11):
Wingman outside Knoxville, Tennessee. Oh Manuell and Guardina says, the
player's got Brazilian butt lifts. Imagine I'll run around with
big booties, Obama. That's funny, It's hilarious. Performed in upgrade
(24:33):
from Eileen in San Francisco. The Georgia Boys said, I
can't say that, Georgia Bone. You think this is satellite radio?
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Something to do with a gang activity? A flash mob
from Bill that's his answer. A concert by weird Alf
from Donkey Sausage. Who else do we have? Page down?
An exorcism from Egan Roseville minutes? So this guy ice Ley,
I can't say that either. What do you think this is? Dude?
Come on, it's a certain type of shower. I don't
(25:06):
think I'm allowed to say that. I'll get in trouble.
I won't get in trouble, right, come on, man, my god?
Say that. Oh. I think that's the guy I met Icily.
I think I met him in the Newport thing, the
same guy I remember, Timmy from Busco, Indiana, says, they
performed in interpretive dance. But these are really good. Usually
(25:30):
these answers suck. What happened? You've actually funny answers. All right,
here's the Mala riddle of day again, and Lorraine's gonna
answer it now. At the airport, we believe this is
in sal Polo, they performed a blank for the Brazilian
soccer team before they left to go off for the
I guess in the US right, twenty twenty six feet
of World Cups coming up? Do you have an answer, Lorraine? Now, yes,
(25:52):
a rain dance, A rain dance, well, not quite unfortunately,
a ceremonial water salute. Some have called it a baptism,
but the video has gone viral. It shows these water
arcs from the fire trucks spraying over the ye know,
(26:12):
the water trucks, you know, those big airport water trucks
are spraying over the plane as it taxis on the
tarmac to take off. And apparently this is an aviation
tradition for special flights and send offs or maiden voyages,
and it's not unique to Brazil, but it's a great
I didn't know that. Now I have been sprayed by
a fireboat which is similar to the but that the
(26:34):
things they have at the airport. And let me tell
you something. We were in mccobby Cove when they opened
the Giants Ballpark. It was a radio bit and the
people at that evil knb are They had the San
Francisco fireboat spray our boat because it was a rival
radio thing. And I don't have time to get in here,
(26:55):
but it was hilarious. I'd spend almost thirty years and
I still remember it. It was ridiculous and it's by
the way, we learned it's illegal. It's illegal. Well you're
not allowed to in that in I guess I don't
know about in Brazil, but in San Francisco you're not
allowed to shoot the fire boat thing the hoses off
unless there's an actual fire. There was no fire. Did
(27:17):
anyone get prosecuted? Hell no, you know which equipment got ruined,
But the radio equipment got soaked because they were doing
a broadcaster remoat from the top of the boat. We
were on and the great Victor Brick Jacobs, I'll never
forget Victor Brick have great LA radio legend, Hall of
Famer love Victor Brick. And he was wearing a pirate costume.
(27:41):
He got soaked, completely drenched by the hoses. Everyone was
trying to jump under the boat. Anyway, all right, let's
get to we got to get back to the NFL
book them. Here we go, NFL book Cup.

I think a lot of people cry. There's no cry. No,
you can't cry in the book them. Okay, all right,
Rob the goat Man writes in on the Bookham says,
what is the best excuse if a fella is out

Speaker 4 (37:37):
Not gonna you always say you have a meeting with

into equestrian things, and she may have no idea what
you're talking about.
Speaker 1 (37:47):
You have to go to the throne. To the throne
you have.
Speaker 4 (37:50):
Everyone needs a royal moment.
Speaker 1 (37:53):
Everyone needs a moment. I got you. What else we have?
Rob in Cocoa Beach rites And I don't think Rob's
asked to que question before. Oh that's Robin the three
two one. We know rough. If someone tells you, yeah,
I'm not much of a Disney person, should that be
grounds for immediate dismissal? Oh that's a yes. I mean
(38:15):
maybe for me.
Speaker 4 (38:17):
For me it is, but not for everyone. Some people
despise Disney. I don't know if Coop is ever going
to go to Disney again.
Speaker 1 (38:24):
Well, because it's so expensive and no, he's just like
I think a mover. Oh you're over you're too old, now, Coop?
Is that the problem? It's just it's just a long day.
Lots of lines, and I've seen everything. Yeah, it's not
like they change a lot of stuff. Yeah, it's pretty
much the same whatever, Shane and Moyes says. In honor
of Pride Month, he says, have you ever been to
a parade or the gay bar in your life? Lorraine?
Speaker 2 (38:47):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (38:47):
Yeah, I love a good gay bar. A lot of
women love the gay bar. Oh it's the best. Why
is that, Lorraine? Why do the women? And I'm not
talking about lesbians. I'm talking about because I.
Speaker 4 (38:56):
Still get hit on by both. So I like to
see you like to see how good I am?
Speaker 1 (39:00):
Now? Oh? Really, you want to see who's uh, who's
still you still got game? You want to find out
you still got exactly you still got it? So you
go out there to see who's who's sitting on you?
All right, Queen of Barswall, what else do we have?
Let's see? Uh? Ferg Dog writes in and says, how
important is it for a couple to like the same
kind of peanut butter? Can a skippy guy and a
jiff girl get along? Great question?
Speaker 4 (39:21):
That is an awesome question. And uh, it's like being
for different teams. You guys, are gonna butt heads sometimes.
And what if you accidentally take a bite of her
sandwich and realize it's that, you know, skippy, It's like
eating butter and margarine. They're not the same. Mayonnaise and
miracle whip, they're not the same. And if you get
it mixed up on your taste buds, it could ruin
(39:43):
your whole.
Speaker 1 (39:43):
Well, the other problem chucky, chunky, creamy, Yes, right, I

is a minor situation for Aaron Judge? Also, what do
you do with the Joe Adele experience in Anaheim? He
(00:41):
had a Jose Conseko moment in the outfield as he
gave up a home run that bounced off his noggin.
And in hockey, who gets the blame for the Carolina
Hurricanes blowing a two to nothing lead early against the
Golden Knights in Game number one of the Stanley Cup Final.
Talk about that as well. And here it is our
(01:04):

the board for the NFL book them, and we will

and we need a caller to represent the people. And
we're gonna have to go quick here because we've got
a lot of bits. This is a heavy hour for
bits in fact, coming up late this hour a fan favorite,
(04:02):
the Queen of Hearts with Lorrain up and so get
your questions in hashtag Queen of Hearts. We may have
to postpone too much or not enough. We'll see how
the bookam goes. We'll see how the time goes. I
am on time, Mallard by the clock for the clock,
plausibly all about the clock, So keep that in mind.
Our lead this hour, though, is from baseball. We start
(04:25):
out in baseball in the borough known as the Bronx,
where Yankees manager Aaron Boone, who somehow keeps his job there.
Aaron Boone giving a state of the Yankee address regarding
the headliner, Aaron Judge. So what is this about? So
Aaron Judge, if you haven't heard, it's snap, crackle pop
(04:49):
for Aaron Judge. But how bad is it? So he's
dealing with, oh my aching shoulder, some shoulder soreness. That
was the early report out of New York City. And
according to Aaron Boone, this has been going on for
a couple of weeks or so. So if you didn't
hear about it, maybe not. It has become problematic in
(05:10):
recent days. According to Aaron boone affecting the swing saw
wing ba dah, saw wing ba dah, the swing of
the Aaron Judge. And they had an MRI which confirmed
it was not a shoulder It was a bone bruise
in the upper right rib area. And this is not
(05:30):
one of those baby back, baby back ribs. This is
actually a very important rib as you know, the trunk area.
Every movement that you make, if you have an injury
in that area, it becomes problematic. And so I'm not
a doctor. I can play one on the radio. We're
all humans, so well some of you might not be,
but we that's the deal. That's the deal. So it's
been affecting his swing. An MRI confirming that as we said,
(05:55):
they said the Yankees there was not any serious structural
shoulder issue. So that's it. Now. It is interesting to
note that Aaron Judge was not in the Yankee lineup
against Cleveland, a game where the Guardians of the Galaxy,
the team named after a Bridge, was victorious. Uh and
(06:16):
Jose Caballero started in right field instead of Aaron Judge.
And we were told that Aaron Judge is scheduled to
meet with doctors. Several more doctors for further evaluation. Some
reports said he's going to see a specialist later today
to get another opinion, and he had doctor visits on Monday, Tuesday,
(06:40):
and now another one coming up later on Wednesday. Now,
the story that we're going to jump off on here
is the Yankees saying this is overall good news. They're
saying this is good news, and they're hinting, well, this
is going to be a short term thing. A Judge
is listed as day to day and it's not a
long term injury, and it just it impacts a swing,
(07:02):
but it's not as throwing. So everything's okay. So that
is a good jumping off point. Let us discuss the
question do you share do you share the Yankees optimism
that this injured rib thing of a jig is just
a minor delio for the captain of the Yankees, Aaron Judge.
(07:23):
So I've got Amtrak, John Sterling, and baggage carts and
we will combine all of these things together and we're
going to make a barbecue chicken burrito is what we're
going to make. Actually I made that. Actually that's not bad,
all right. Put a little barbecue sauce and there's some
(07:45):
chicken some other stuff. All right, So my first thought
here to answer the question, do you share the Yankees
optimism regarding the health and the outlook for Aaron Judge,
and I would like to quote the great weed Man, hippie.
You gotta be joking, Okay, you gotta be doing I
will be the grown up in the room. Aaron Judge,
last I checked, is six foot seven and listed at
(08:07):
over two hundred and eighty pounds. He's the size of
an old like back in the old days, that was
the size of an NFL offensive lineman. Now they're three
point fifty, but back in the old days that would
be the size of an NFL offensive line So there
is no such thing, no such thing as a minor
rib injury for a guy that size. The bigger they are,
(08:29):
I'm told, the faster they break down. And I go
by the Shack principle. Back in the day, if you're
old enough to there's a guy named Shaquille O'Neal who's
just a clown on TV. Now, he played basketball for
a long time, and it was the Shack principle when
he would get hurt. Based on history though, and call
me what you want, Aaron Judge and the Yankees they
(08:52):
always say always, and Aaron Boone and everyone on the
age they always say minor minor. Right before we get
a six week SOKA, the drama o rama kicks in.
And let's not forget the Yankees' medical staff has botched
more timelines on estimated return from injury than Amtrak. Okay,
(09:16):
and this, if you use the Schnaz test and you
smell it smells like a much bigger deal. Oh, you're
just being a shock jock. No, I'm not. I'm being realistic.
And here's why. It's not just the conga line of
specialists that Aaron Judge is running off to see. He's
on the Yellow Brick Road looking to find the Wizard
(09:38):
of Oz. It's more than that. It's because of late
this supposed minor rib injury. For Aaron Judge. He has
gone from the Bronx bomber to the Bronx flopper at
home plate and the Yankees want us to believe. Ah,
it's nothing, nothing to see here. So my evidence on this,
(09:58):
Aaron Judge, if you go back to the last sixteen games,
right around the time Aaron Boone says this thing happened.
Aaron Judge is batting below the Mendoza line. He's hitting
one point eighty with just one home run and a
slugging percentage which is buried in the Hudson River. It's terrible.
That is more than just a blip. That's more than
(10:21):
if this is Aaron Judge, and he can't have the
injury healed anytime soon without taking some time off. And
we know when these guys take time on the injury tent,
they're gone for a month. Good luck and the Yankee
It's not like the Yankees are in first place now.
Tampa Bay hasn't played very well recently. They're still low
(10:41):
in first place. If you look at the at the Bronx,
Aaron Judge is the center the way the team is designed.
He's the center of the wagon wheel and everything else
is around Aaron Judge, and that set up. The Yankees
have built their entire identity around number ninety nine. So
as he goes, so goes the season. I remember a
couple years ago Aaron Judge got into an incident. He
(11:05):
was manhandled by the fence at Dodger Stadium, the bullpen gate,
and that derailed the Yankees for a long period of time.
As Judge was out of the lineup. Now, secondly we
go to Anaheim, where the Angels are bad at baseball,
however continue to be really good at providing content. In
a random game which we would not have talked about,
(11:28):
the Angels and the Rockies got together. Now, why would
we These are two terrible teams. Why would you talk
about this game? You're a loser, that's why you're doing overnights.
Let me explain. So, the Angels right fielder Joe Adell
had a moment in time that was so good we
need to talk about have a conversation. So it was
(11:50):
in the fourth inning and there was a fly ball
by someone named TJ. Rumfield's I have no idea who
that is. Apparently plays for the Colorado baseball team, and
flyball right off his bat and it looked like it
should have been a routine play for a big league outfielder. However,
plot twist. For some reason that seemingly routine play, the
(12:14):
ball glanced off Joe Adell's glove. It then went cub
plunk right off his head. He's when a baseball had
at the ton and karmed over the fence for a
solo home run. Yeah, a doink home run. Now Colorado
was up eight to nothing at that point. They ended
(12:35):
up winning the game eight to two. Who cares about that?
Joe Adele seemed fine other than embarrassed. There's a little
red face there. Why wouldn't you be? He kind of
shook it off, which is good because most of the
time baseball players get hit, that's it. They're out for
two weeks. Question, with everything else that has happened, and
Odell's on Joydell's on pace. I think they like ground
(12:57):
thirty home runs or something like that. He's not hitting
for average, He's driving in a fair amount of runs
for the Angels, and the trade deadline is going to
be here in a month, about two months, and his
name has popped up as a possibility to enter the portal.
The question is what do you do with the Joe
Adele experience in Anaheim? This the latest chapter in this
(13:19):
wild ride for jo Adell. So after letting the homer
bounce clean off his head, right, this season has officially
become a Michael Jackson tune. It is strictly black or
white for Jo Adele. We are ruling the world, right,
I mean he's ruling the world here it's the box
(13:41):
of Crayola crayons and there's just two colors. That's it,
black or white, no middle ground. And in a season
where the Angels suck, this is a season of extremes
where Adele is either a Marvel comic superhero or a
one man blooper reel. He's the living embodiment of the
(14:02):
late great John Sterlings eternal shrug. That's baseball Susan Man,
the doink Dinger, the doint Dinger, oof El Classico. It
really was for a season fan which means you're old.
That immediately triggered a flashback anyone of a certain age remembers.
(14:22):
There was this guy named jose cansecoh bash Brother, steroid
guy back in the day for the old Oakland Athletics,
although at this time he was playing for the Texas Rangers.
This was in the early nineties, before I was alive,
of course, in nineteen ninety three, and he gave up
the head bop home run now, same deal. Oh, that
was more clean than the Joe Adell home run which ricocheted.
(14:44):
And apparently Odell I didn't remember this because it was
during the pandemic. But Adele back in twenty twenty. There
was a prequel back in twenty twenty where he gave
up a rare four base error. That was during the pandemic.
Now on the bright side for Joe Adell. Remember I
mentioned it's either black or white here for Joe Adele.
He is a noted defensive player, and we talked about
(15:08):
him back in April. He had not one, not too
but he had three home run robberies. He robbed the
Seattle Mariners of three home runs at the Big A
spectacular spider man. His spidy like sense is Joe Adell
leaping over the fence to catch the baseball, and Adele
giveth and Adele taketh and then he gives you a
(15:31):
migraine is what he gives you. So he's either a
superhero or a supernova. There is no middle ground, all right,
Final thought, don't tell Eddie Hockey game number one, game
number one of the twenty twenty six Stanley Cup Final.
I actually watched this game. Don't tell anybody, I'll ruin
my reputation. I was flipping between the baseball games, and
(15:53):
of course during the intermission, I stopped and went to
the baseball and then I went back to the hockey
back and forth, very entertaining game. It was not low scoring.
The Golden Knights, the dogs are the Golden Knights with
my favorite coaching hockey John Tortorella, have upset the Hurricanes
in Game number one. They win the final score of
(16:15):
five to four. The game was tied four to four.
Late in the third period, someone named Colton Sissons, I
don't know who that is, set up Thomas Hurtle for
the Golden Knights game winning goal. Better story is in
the losing locker room. So for the first time ever,
we're going to talk about the Carolina Hurricanes question. Who
gets the blame, the blame, any blaming me, blamingy for
(16:38):
the Carolina Hurricanes seemingly on a burner. They had all
the momentum, just like the Knicks, all the momentum. So
who gets the blame for the Carolina Hurricanes blowing? They
didn't really two nothing lead in this game and they
end up losing, had multiple leads, all lost. Obviously they
lose the game. So on this one, the coach, and
(16:59):
I'm at the age now where I interviewed him when
he played back in the day, Rod Brindemore his team
to quote towards sucked at a time you cannot suck,
and that's it. And from what I read leading in,
I was reading some of the you know, I haven't
watched much hockey this year, so I was reading some
of the stuff leading into the Stanley Cup finals kind
of set the tone, and everything I read said, oh,
this Florida Panthers team, their discipline, suffocating defense, the whole thing,
(17:24):
forcing opponents into errors and all that, and Carolina instead
goofed many times costly mistakes and puck handling a bit
of a problem. Bill Belichick should have read them. He
was at the game wearing his Carolina merch Belichick, he
should have read them the Riot Act, although he wasn't
(17:45):
coaching the team. The puck handling very sloppy. It seemed
like the rubber hockey puck had been dipped only when
Carolina had it for stretches of the game in Game one,
that they had dipped it in movie theater popcorn butter.
You know that buttery popcorn mix, And so they dipped
it in that movie theater butter popcorn, and an existential dread.
(18:10):
As it was bad. They were frazzled, disheveled and downright.
It was like a candy bar. They butter fingered it,
if you will. And so, as we know, in any sport,
not just hockey, in any sport, possession is nine tenths
of victory. And yeah, you're getting this team wide malaise. Now.
To answer the question, though individually, said the wise guy
(18:30):
behind the microphone, we give a dunce cap, the biggest
dunce cap we can find, of Frederick Anderson, the goaltender
for the Carolina hockey team football, the Carolina hockey team.
Here the goal who listen. He had played very well.
Looked at some of the numbers, and again this is
(18:51):
why you don't really pay attention to the stats and
all that. You get all excited and you're, oh, good stats.
That's why they that's why they play the games. But
he had great number coming in. This has been a
strength from everything I read leading into the Stanley Cup
final that Anderson had been wonderful. And then this became
a liability in the beginning. And there's really only one
(19:12):
word I would say to describe the way he played.
He choked. That Anderson choked, period stopped. That's it. Entering
the final, he had a nine to thirty one saved percentage,
which I'm told is good. And Anderson allowed five goals
on just twenty three shots for a puke in your
(19:32):
mouth seven to eighty three save percentage. And when I
mentioned he choked, that was at the beginning of the game.
He gave up three goals on the first eight shots
for Vegas. Three of the first eight shots went in
the net. Put the biscuit in the basket. And this
was a standard regret. Actually wasn't a standard regression of
(19:55):
the meme. He crashed, landed Anderson, the goaltender for Carolina,
skittered across the tarmac and took out not one, not two,
but three baggage carts. It was a complete meltdown and
looked like they picked up a guy early in the
game from some Beer League Tuesday night hockey game around midnight.
It is the Ben Mallor Show. If you'd like to
(20:17):
be part eight seven seven ninety nine, Oh Fox, I
do have I have a slot, possibly for a game show.
I also need someone for the NFL book them. We've

(20:39):
This is wells everywhere. It's a it's a mess. It's
an absolute mess all right. Time. Now for the Mallar
Riddle of the day. Here we go, malor riddle of today.
At an airport in Salpaulo, they performed a blank for
the Brazilian soccer team before they left for the twenty
twenty six FIFA World Cup. Again, at an airport in
(21:00):
I believe it was in South Paulo, they performed a
blank for the Brazilian soccer team before they left for
the twenty twenty six feet of World Cup. That is
the Malor riddle of the day. The answer, We'll get
to it. We'll do it next.

Oh yes, yes, yes, here's the Malay Riddle of day
at some random airport. I believe this was in sal Polo.
They performed a blank for the Brazilian soccer team before
(23:02):
they left to go off for the twenty twenty six
feet of World Cup, which apparently is coming up soon.
Evoi from Compton writes In says they performed the mallard oath.
Ferg Dog says yes, yes, yes, the Brazilian national soccer
team that did the malory. They performed the Slaying of
a Dragon starring Victor Wembanyama. Do not encourage Andrew and Bakersfield.
(23:27):
Bad job by you. They circumcised a mosquito, one of
the all time great soundbites from Jerry Jones, which was
not recorded in audio form. Get Procedure. Bobby in Florida
says they performed a good old fashioned donkey show from Mexico.
What else do we have? Page down an iouasca tea
(23:48):
tasting from Late Night drug tester lobotomies on the players
from Andy and Lionel Lakes, Minnesota. They handed out pineapple
spears soaked in kool aid. Spy King Rory Brazilian shoulder
massage for Aaron Judge and Deshaun Watson from Hungarian Mike.
Who else? We have a self mummification from JT the
(24:11):
Wingman outside Knoxville, Tennessee. Oh Manuell and Guardina says, the
player's got Brazilian butt lifts. Imagine I'll run around with
big booties, Obama. That's funny, It's hilarious. Performed in upgrade
(24:33):
from Eileen in San Francisco. The Georgia Boys said, I
can't say that, Georgia Bone. You think this is satellite radio?
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Something to do with a gang activity? A flash mob
from Bill that's his answer. A concert by weird Alf
from Donkey Sausage. Who else do we have? Page down?
An exorcism from Egan Roseville minutes? So this guy ice Ley,
I can't say that either. What do you think this is? Dude?
Come on, it's a certain type of shower. I don't
(25:06):
think I'm allowed to say that. I'll get in trouble.
I won't get in trouble, right, come on, man, my god?
Say that. Oh. I think that's the guy I met Icily.
I think I met him in the Newport thing, the
same guy I remember, Timmy from Busco, Indiana, says, they
performed in interpretive dance. But these are really good. Usually
(25:30):
these answers suck. What happened? You've actually funny answers. All right,
here's the Mala riddle of day again, and Lorraine's gonna
answer it now. At the airport, we believe this is
in sal Polo, they performed a blank for the Brazilian
soccer team before they left to go off for the
I guess in the US right, twenty twenty six feet
of World Cups coming up? Do you have an answer, Lorraine? Now, yes,
(25:52):
a rain dance, A rain dance, well, not quite unfortunately,
a ceremonial water salute. Some have called it a baptism,
but the video has gone viral. It shows these water
arcs from the fire trucks spraying over the ye know,
(26:12):
the water trucks, you know, those big airport water trucks
are spraying over the plane as it taxis on the
tarmac to take off. And apparently this is an aviation
tradition for special flights and send offs or maiden voyages,
and it's not unique to Brazil, but it's a great
I didn't know that. Now I have been sprayed by
a fireboat which is similar to the but that the
(26:34):
things they have at the airport. And let me tell
you something. We were in mccobby Cove when they opened
the Giants Ballpark. It was a radio bit and the
people at that evil knb are They had the San
Francisco fireboat spray our boat because it was a rival
radio thing. And I don't have time to get in here,
(26:55):
but it was hilarious. I'd spend almost thirty years and
I still remember it. It was ridiculous and it's by
the way, we learned it's illegal. It's illegal. Well you're
not allowed to in that in I guess I don't
know about in Brazil, but in San Francisco you're not
allowed to shoot the fire boat thing the hoses off
unless there's an actual fire. There was no fire. Did
(27:17):
anyone get prosecuted? Hell no, you know which equipment got ruined,
But the radio equipment got soaked because they were doing
a broadcaster remoat from the top of the boat. We
were on and the great Victor Brick Jacobs, I'll never
forget Victor Brick have great LA radio legend, Hall of
Famer love Victor Brick. And he was wearing a pirate costume.
(27:41):
He got soaked, completely drenched by the hoses. Everyone was
trying to jump under the boat. Anyway, all right, let's

For me it is, but not for everyone. Some people
despise Disney. I don't know if Coop is ever going

Speaker 1 (38:24):
Well, because it's so expensive and no, he's just like
I think a mover. Oh you're over you're too old, now, Coop?
Is that the problem? It's just it's just a long day.
Lots of lines, and I've seen everything. Yeah, it's not

important is it for a couple to like the same
kind of peanut butter? Can a skippy guy and a
jiff girl get along? Great question?

sandwich and realize it's that, you know, skippy, It's like
eating butter and margarine. They're not the same. Mayonnaise and
