Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our number three, hour three of
our radio program and some interesting commentary coming out of
South Florida, not about the NBA NFL. Should Dolphin fans
be excited about Tyreek Hill gushing over two A Tonga
(00:21):
Bollo's arm strength. We'll answer that question. Also, two h
is he under the most pressure of any starting quarterback
in the NFL? You agree or disagree with that? And
are the Dolphins a playoff team? Playoffs in twenty twenty two?
We'll talk about that as well right now in our
(00:41):
number three here it is Hey, thanks for listening to
the Ben Mallers Show podcast. It's me Ben. Be sure
to catch us live every weeknight from two to six
Eastern eleven pm the three am Pacific right here on
Fox Sports Radio. You can find your local station for
The Ben Mallers Show over at Fox Sports Radio dot com,
or stream us live every night on the iHeartRadio app
(01:04):
by searching f s R. You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.
A cheating known for its speed, known for running, but
is it known for running its mouth? Welcome in the
beginning of another hour of the Bend Mallers Show, as
(01:27):
we are together in the air everywhere as we move
heaven and Earth, unless we don't coast to coast, border
the border and beyond on the mast and astronomically powerful
microphones of f s R emmnting live from the box,
(01:53):
the soapbox, the Fox Sports Radio Studios at a secret
location somewhere in the Northwood, and so our lead this
hour coming from the mouth of an NFL player, but
not to a tongue of Byloa, although it is about
to a tongue of Byloa. Now he is known for
(02:15):
having a noodle arm noodle noodle noodle toa not the
strongest buzuka. You can buy more of a peace shooter
than a Bozuka. So if you didn't hear these comments,
and these are not from tour, but if you didn't
hear these comments, let me kind of get you cut
up a speed. So with that as the backdrop to it,
not known as having a big cannon for an arm,
(02:37):
Tyreek Hill entered the chat and he signed that a
big contract after being traded from Kansas City, and he
spoke to the assembled media at OTA's on Tuesday, So
this is in the last twenty four hours. And what
did he say toa. There is a quote from Tyreek Hill.
He said, tah actually as one of the prettiest ball
(03:00):
balls I have ever caught in my life. To us,
he's a very accurate, very accurate quarterback. Tyreek Hill opine
so again to us said actually has one of two
has actually one of the prettiest balls kind of graphic
that I have ever caught in my life. And ta
(03:21):
is a very accurate quarter quote continues, Tyreek Hill said,
I'm very confident in my quarterback. The sky is the
limit for that guy. Heck about talent has crazy armed strength,
armed talent? How does an arm have talent? Is it?
Can any explain how an armed talent? All right, so
(03:45):
he's just repeating mumbo jumble that other idiots have brought up.
So let us discuss the question should Dolphin fans be
excited about Tyreek Hill slopper slapper slopper cushing all over
a tongue of Ioloah's arm strength. So I'm gonna say
you shouldn't be excited, you should be suspicious. The proper
(04:08):
position on this is suspicion. So I've got Pony Express,
Twilight Zone and Cassa Bloca and we will combine all
of these random things together, and that will be the
peanut butter and jelly sandwich that we put together here,
the greatest sandwich of them all, the peanut butter and
(04:29):
jelly with the proper mount peanut butter, gobs of peanut
butter and some proper mix of jelly. Can't go You
can't go wrong with that sandwich, all right. So first
of all, Tyreek Hill is being a good soldier or
in this case, a good receiver. This has the vibe
of a manufactured storyline out of South Florida, the Dolphins.
(04:53):
Here's how I see this in that little cartoon bubble
over my head. Here's how I see this story. So
the Dolphins get together. You know what a group of
dolphins together is called. That's right, a pod. So the
Dolphins form a pod. And that this was This was
all drawn up on a whiteboard. It's all premeditated. So
(05:15):
all premeditator. I'll tell you why. The Miami football team
tweeted out a hype video a couple of weeks back
in which their quarterback played like a quarterback with a
new alarm. What does that mean? He undered threw the
receiver who had to stop and wait for the ball,
you know, the old stop right one one thousand and two,
(05:35):
one thousand and three, win thousand and four, one thousand
and five, win thousand Okay, I got the ball. And
so after that video went viral, that hype video which backfired,
they got together and they asked one another, how can
we change the story, change the narrative around ta tongue
of byloa. So they threw out a bunch of ideas
(05:57):
and at some point the light ball went on, not off,
went on in the strategic command center, and they said, okay,
damage control. What we're gonna do where the Miami Dolphins,
and what we're gonna do is deputize our guy, Tyreek Hill.
He's our pony express Tyreek Hill. He'll get the message out.
(06:22):
And so really this becomes a stupid test. As we
often warn, do not be gullible, don't be that Hayse
that falls for this. It is a fugazy set of
quotes from Tyreek Hill. I don't think he believes that,
and the Dolphins don't believe that. Otherwise they would have
been flirting with multiple quarterbacks in the off season. Didn't
(06:45):
have enough to get the job done because of some
previous transactions. Now. Secondly, so to a tygerby Lowa. Let's
get to toa he's under the most pressure of any
quarterback in the NFL. That's a popular storyline. Is to
a tugboya under the most pressure of any quarterback starting
in the NFL. You agree or disagree. So I agree
(07:05):
with a proviso, I agree with a proviso. Everything is relative.
We know that in life everything is relative. But he's
not in a unique situation to it. The expectations have
been raised, and there is a quarterback twosome that is
very similar to a tongue Aboula is a placeholder. He
(07:27):
is at the placeholders table until he proves he's better
than just a guy and better than being a placeholder.
And you don't know, and I don't know, and the
Miami Dolphins don't know whether that is the case. But
when you look around the NFL, there are many quarterbacks
(07:47):
who are not exactly putting down roots here you might
want to rent, don't buy. Not counting first or second
year player, so players either going to their third year
or further. By my guest estimation, thirty percent thirty percent
of the football industry is in a place I call
(08:09):
the twilight zone, because picture, if you will, a world
where a ten pack of quarterbacks are hanging onto their
jobs by their fingernails. And that includes who Genos Smith
slash Drew Locke, one of those two guys, who ever
gets the starting job in Seattle famous jamis not so
(08:30):
famous in the NFL? Winston with New Orleans, Sam Darnold,
whoever starts in Carolina, Jared Golf with Detroit not a
long term starter, Carson Wentz and Washington. Also, how am
I doing them' doing? Go so far? I've got Daniel
Jones with the Giants his last year, and we've got
Ryan Tannehill as mentioned from a previous hour, and Matt Ryan.
(08:54):
So that's a ten pack and I left one out.
The tenth quarterback is Jalen Hurt. And I have on
my big board to a tongue of Byeloa and Jalen
Hurts side by side, that they're doppel gangers. That Jalen
Hurts is seen as a trick shot quarterback who is
a running quarterback, not a great thrower, and Tuah is
(09:18):
a guy who's very accurate what you want, but does
not throw the deep ball. He's a nickel and dime
type of quarterback. He's a dink and dunk type of quarterback.
And so those two are married at the hip. They
are tied together at the hip. Jalen Hurts and Philly
because high expectations. They got a big receiver now in
(09:39):
a J. Brown from the Tennessee Titans, and so Philadelphia
is expected to be better. And also the Miami Dolphins.
All right, final five. So turning the page, will Tyree
Hill see his performance go down, down, down, down, down
in decline in twenty tw two and so it's kind
(10:03):
of like saying, is your four oh one k doing
well since the start of the year. Well, that's a
rhetorical question. Of course. The stock markets taken in the
short tier and Tyreek Hill the outlook, if you look
at the crystal ball, the outlook is highly volatile. It
is a highly volatile situation. Now, in situations like this,
(10:24):
you don't have to go very far. You often look
to the gambling market. The gambling market is a key
indicator of what's to come. They have very little confidence
in Tyreek and what is Miami's now. Our friends, they're
an advertiser DraftKings recently they had the over under totals
this season for Tyreek Hill in Miami one thousand, ninety
(10:50):
nine point five, so one ninety nine and a half
yard and eight and a half touchdowns. Now, if those
totals sound kind of low, your ears are not deceiving you.
The reason that they are kind of low is because
both are much further down near where the mushrooms grow
(11:10):
than what Tyreek Hill has been putting up on the
stat sheet at least the last couple of years in
Cannes City. So we all know the story here. Tyreek
is leaving his personal football casablanca. You're not in Kansas
City anymore, filled with greenbacks and surfboards and all that
(11:31):
one twenty million over four years will get you to
sing a lullah by about your quarterback and your new
city and your new team. But again, the bookies, if
you look at what the sports line maker the gambling
house has put out there, they do not have confidence
that Tua talking about lowill be able to get the
(11:53):
ball to Tyreek Hill in similar situations as they had
in the Chiefs uniform. Now, Tyreek, I've said this before
in previous episodes. I will say it again. Tyreek is
going to have to become the Yakeney yak boss yards
after the catch. If Mike McDaniel the new boy wonder
(12:15):
genius coach, If Mike McDaniel uses Tyreek Hill in a
similar fashion to Deebo Samuel, there's a shot. And remember
that there is no correlation between stats and wins and losses,
wins and blankety blank losses. Now, my example of that
is Megatron. Remember Calvin Johnson. You might be old enough
(12:37):
to remember when he played for the Lions and he
had one of the masterpiece seasons you can have as
a receiver nineteen hundred and sixty four yards receiving with
the twenty twelve Detroit Lions. Do you want to take
a guess how many games the Lions won when Calvin
Johnson was running up and down the field catching massive
(12:57):
chunk plays. The answer four. The Lions won four games
that year with Calvin Johnson. So the moral, or the
lesson rather lesson of the story is you can put
up stats. It doesn't necessarily mean anything is going to
You're gonna turn out as far as wins are concerned,
garbage time enhancer yards will be available. They will be
(13:21):
available for you, all right, it is the Ben Mallard Show. No,
I promised Mallard of the third degree, and if you
promise something, you gotta pay it off. And so hit
that button, Roberto, here we go, stretch up gets Maller.
How about that to the third degree. This is one
big band gets grilled and it is time to aw
(13:43):
for Mallard to the third degree. This portion of the
Ben Maller Show on Fox Sports Radio made possible by

(14:06):
So a producer, Ricky is in the hissy Ricky, what
do we have here? Mallard of the third degree? Okay,
New Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson says he plans to be
non emotional plane Seahawks in week one. Ben, is this possible?
So the answer is no. R I saw this quote
(14:27):
from Russ this week and he is cooking up nonsense.
It's not healthy, like Russell Wilson used a crowbarll He
took him two years. He used the crowbar two years
to get out of Seattle. He was unhappy with Pete
Carroll didn't like the antequated Seahawks offense. So if he
can carve up the Seahawks in a Bronco uniform, that
(14:47):
would be wonderful. Right, He just desserts in his head.
There is legitimate animosity on both sides. So I don't
believe this is a non emotional situation. And this is
something that I relate to. Also, having been in the
radio business a long time, I've worked at a few
different places. All I've been here a long while. That
(15:08):
the chance to stick a dagger in the heart of
a former employer. What's not to like about that? That's
a healthy thing. I realize you're not supposed to talk
about it because that's taboo. But I disagree with Russ
that will be a non emotional situation. Next Ben Manny
Machado's Padres are playing like a first place team and
(15:30):
will get better should the Dodgers be concerned about San Diego.
So here's the way I look at the Podres, the
Pods squad. They've got a good team, but not all
precincts they're reporting, and the Dodgers are not going to
lose any sleep over San Diego in May. I know
that to be true. It's just a bunch of cockamami nonsense.
(15:52):
It is a race, not a sprint. And as the
Pods squad proved last season with pretty much the same
team back when they faded like the sunset over the
Pacific last year, the Dodgers have a lot of room
to improve. Also, so Manny Machilo's argument as well, the
Padres are playing well and they're gonna get better. Well,
(16:13):
I could say the same thing about the Dodgers. Mookie
Bets has finally started to be the player he had been,
the MVP level ball player, Mookie Bets, the guy that
he had been with the Red Sox and briefly with
the Dodgers, And so they've he started hit. But you
look at the Dodge a line of Max Munsey sucks,
Cody Bellinger stinks, and Justin Turner blows. So that's thirty
three percent of the everyday lineup. So the Dodgers, they've
(16:36):
got a lot of parts of that team that are
devoid of matter, and they're still the top dog in
baseball next, So, Paul O'Neill was scheduled to appear on
w f A N in New York to promote his book,
but the interview was canceled because O'Neill's PR handlers refused
to have him discussed that Tim Anderson and Josh Donaldson breuhaha, Ben,
(16:58):
Was this the right call? Yes, Bravo, I love this story.
I don't know who this guy is. Brandon Tierney. He's
been in the business a long time. He's the cat
that made the call that was the biggest story this
week in baseball. It involved the Yankees. That is a
local New York radio station. O'Neill is a legend in
the Bronx. He was on there to promote a book,
to give a book about his opinions. It is unacceptable
(17:21):
to avoid the Komodo dragon in the room. And this
is one of the reasons that in working overnight, one
of the reasons I avoid having a lot of guests.
I do it on the podcast, but there are people
I usually know. In a memo to those of you
who are popping up to promote books or other products
on a sports radio show, if you're going to go
into the ocean, expect to get wet. And if you're
(17:44):
afraid to talk about a topic, then you shouldn't be
doing interviews. That's embarrassing. And the pr handles are a joke.
And Paul O'Neill not being able to handle his own
business as also fraudulent. That's for ghaisy. There it is,
holler to the third degree? How did we do? Eloquent? Pass?
Thank you? Eloquent? Eloquent pallor all right, straight ahead. We'll
(18:11):
take your calls at eight seven, seven ninety nine Fox,

(21:34):

How did you know that? Oh my god, I got

they got as the fourth Who was that guy? See
now you're answering your father. I know that was the
(22:15):
Jim Palmer Era McNally, And I am Pat Dopson, so
I think of Pat Dobs. He was a pitching coach
for a long time after Doption was the fourth pitcher. Yeah, hey, Mark,

What led you to the same late at night and
hearing someone that has brains that knows sports and also

hope people are listening to me because this is the
best show in the world. It really is. Mark my contracts, Mark,
my contracts coming up. So if you want to negotiate
(23:21):
my next contract, Mark, you can be my agent. How
much you thin guy should get paid? Marked my next day?
I wore red serious about that, but uh, you know,
when I was in third grade, they wanted to skip
me three grades distantly. I never brag about that, but
I'm pretty sure you're bragging about it right now. Mark.
You are bragging. No, you just said you're not going
to brag about it, but you're bragging about it on
five Hundle radio stations. You're bragging about it fans out
(23:44):
here all over the West coast because of that Buck's prediction.
That was brilliant. Man. All right, all right, you're repeating yourself.
Thank you, Mark. There you go, Mark, you barkey spoutsing
around the walls there and there's a guy, and I
get you might say that's inappropriate that I asked a
guy to call a radio show up and then I
asked him to turn the volume all the way up
(24:05):
on the radio. But I did that because oftentimes we
take calls from people like Marcel and Brooklyn and Hollerween
James in Minnesota and they don't they don't have a
show on. He's got the show on. So anyway, we're
gonna have later this Sorry. At cooking with the Berto,
what are we making, Roberto? Do we have anything specific?
We're makingcini alfredo? Bad? Oh that's I go into a
(24:30):
nice Italian restaurant, I always order the feeder. You can
make yourself at home. Come on, man, I understand, but
if I if I see on the menu they don't
have fetuccini alfredo, I'm like, this is not a good
at Tian restaurant then and making at home. With the
price of food going up and all that eating out, Yeah,
you're better off eating. Look at it. Look at it
at a menu in Italian restaurant. I never order because
I always making at home. I have a I have
(24:51):
a rule. I've shared over the ars my rule. When
I go to an Italian restaurant with my wife and
they don't have bread on the table with butter, I
think that's a let a low grade restaurant. Oh yeah,
like a Mexican restaurant with say exactly right, same thing, ye,
same concept. You build that into the price of the food.
That is an expectation when I go to a Mexican
restaurant chips and salsa. If you don't have it or
(25:12):
you charge extra for it, screw you. And if I
go to an Italian restaurant and they don't have the butter,
the bread and the butter on the table, I think
this is a low grade at Italian resta Yep, I
need to go to a better restaurant anyway. It is
the Bennett Maller show. We are going to have too
much or not enough. That means I need a contestant.
Ricky at eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. So
(25:33):
you can talk to the Hannibal Lecter of Fox Sports Radio, Ricky,
and he might put you on to play the game
at eight seven seven ninety nine one Fox. That's too
much or not enough. But right now over to Eddie Garcia,
we go to get you caught up on everything going
on in the old night. All right, thanks Ben. We
start with the NBA Playoffs game full of the Western
Conference Finals, and it wasn't a great game, but it
(25:56):
wasn't necessarily a blowout either. It was it was okay,
I guess Mavericks had a big lead against the Warriors.
Golden State did cut it to single digits, but in
the end one nineteen one on nine, Dallas with the
victory to stay alive in the postseason. Luca Dodgitch not surprising,
leading them with the near triple double thirty points fourteen rebounds.
He had nine assists, and Dallas as a team hit
(26:16):
twenty of their forty three three point attempts. For those
backup guys, it was the secondary actors, Eddie that were
key for the Mavericks. They made a bunch of shots.
They shot almost seventy percent. The secondary guys, the spot
and spot and the jump shot guys. Yeah, that's probably
not gonna happen again. But good for them so far.
I mean, you know, they're still alive. I guess. Well
on a video game, Steph Curry twenty points for Golden State.
(26:37):
He only attempted five to three pointers. He doesn't he
usually do that in like a quarter. He only hit
two of them. And you know, I don't know anyway,
Dallas avoids elimination Golden States still as in the three
one advantage in the series. There will be a game
five Thursday in San Francisco NHL Stanley Cup Playoff second
round action. The Rangers beat the Hurricanes four to one.
Goalie igorsche sterk in thirty saves in the win. Mika's
Abena Jat added a goal. At series is tied at
(26:59):
the two two. The teams won every game so far
in the series. For Carolina, they have not won a
road game yet in the playoffs, but they're undefeated at home,
so that's working out for him so far. The Oilers
beat the Flames five to three. Of vander Came two
more goals for Edmonton to giving him twelve and eleven
playoff games so far this postseason. Edmonton now with a
three one advantage in the series to Major League Baseball,
(27:21):
where the Giants went a wild win over the Mats
thirteen to twelve. The finals, Sandrans Let's go two and
the ninth to get the walkoff winning a Brandon Crawford
RBIs single. Huge game for outfielder Jock Peterson four hits,
three of them home runs, eight RBI. He had a
pair of two run homers, a three run shot and
an RBI single. New York Mets s Francisco Lindora homer
six RBI in a losing effort. Red Sox beat the
(27:41):
White Sox sixteen to three. Trevor's story is still hot
for Boston hit a homer, drove in four. He's got
six homers seventeen RBI in his last five games, and
the Red Sox have won six in a row. Yankees
walk off of the seven six win over the Orioles
and eleven Dodgers down the Nationals nine to four. Mookie
Bets two home runs drove in four for La Brewers
over the Padres four to one. A battle of former
Side Young Award winners. Corbyn Burns gets the win from
(28:01):
Milwaukee Blake Snell the loss for San Diego. The Blue
Jays down the Cardinals eight to one. It was the
Astroids over the Guardians seven three. Angels knock off the
Rangers five three, so the Angels are still one game
back of Houston in that race for the AL West lead.
Cubs over the Reds eleven four. Braves walk off with
a six five win over the Phillies. They score two
to the ninth to get that win. Twins shut off
the Tigers two nothing. Minnesota's third Sonny Gray and two
(28:23):
relievers combining on the five Bits shut out the A's
snap a thirteen game losing skid against the Mariners with
a seven to five win. In Seattle, Rays shut out
the Marlins ford out thing, Rockies get by the Pirates
two one in ten, and the Diamondbacks to beat the
Royals eight to six. Tonight in the NBA Playoffs, we

Another note from the NFL. Yeah, tight end Rob Grunkowski's
Gronk working out with quarterback Tom Brady in the Tampa area.
(29:07):
Of course, Gronk still is not said if he's gonna
play this season or not, but no one's gonna be
surprised if see what he's doing with Gronk. I assume
he was throwing up a football. Now they were playing baseball.
It was a video Brady and Gronk, They're out there
playing some hardball. That's interesting. Well, Brady was a baseball player.
(29:27):
If only the Montreal Expos had offered him more money,
he would have never been Tom Brady the football star.
He would have been Tom Brady the Montreally did he
play baseball at Michigan, Tom Brady? He was drafted I
think out of high school? Yeah he was high school. Yeah,
I believe so, I believe so. So Anyway, I saw
that video going around. It is the Ben Maller Show.
(29:49):
As we continue on here into the overnight hours, further
and further into the overnight hours. And this portion of
the Ben Mallards Show is made possible by you know who? Right?
Everyone knows who? Right? Yes, I let's play the game
and then I'll do the read because I want some time.
I played the damn game. You hit that button? Too
(30:13):
many of these? Too much? Or not enough enough? Already? Ah?
All right, here we go. I see only three questions,
so I might have to add some extra questions if
to play the game. Probably, Ricky, we usually have five questions.
I only see three questions. I am I reading this wrong, Ricky.
I only see three questions? Here? Are there only three questions? Yeah?
(30:34):
I listened to the segment last week. I only heard three.
I'm sorry. Oh all right, Well, I'll have to add
live a little bit and that'll make it a little difficult,
but we'll see what happens. Let's go to Benny in Vermont. Hello, Benny,
you're gonna play too much or not enough? Hello Benny's
Oh well, Ricky thought it was Benny. He wanted to
(30:57):
call you Benny. Yeah, all right, well, Ben in Vermont,
I apologize. That has a nice, nice flow to it.
Vinnie in VERMONTI flows off the tongue and what brings
you to the show here tonight? Viney? Are you working?
What are you? What are you doing? Yeah? Yeah, I'm
on my way to home depot this morning. I work
in a receiving department. Okay, I got you, very cool,
big big fan of the home depot, all right? Of
(31:20):
any well, good luck here. You gotta get three right
to win. And if you get all five right, then
I will give you two golden tickets. But all you
have to do is get three right. Are you ready?
I'm ready? All right? Vinnie on his way to home
depot in Vermont. Question number one at the right page
of thirty nine years old the Houston cheating as strow
(31:43):
starting pitcher justin Verlanders one point two to e ra
A through his first eight starts is the lowest for
a starting pitcher in the last decade. Is that too
much or not enough? All right? To see if Vinnie
is right that is correct? The answers too much? Jacob
(32:08):
deGrom at a point six two ERA through eight games
for the Metropolitans, but not this year because he's hurt.
Question number two, Aaron Judge seventeen dingers this season, more
than the total number of home runs for the league's
(32:29):
worst home run hitting team, the Detroit Tigers. Is that
too much or not enough? Nope, that's too much? All right,
he says too much again, let's fight out if Vinnie
and Vermont is right? No, not enough the Tigers? If
it twenty two home runs as of Tuesday going into
(32:52):
play on Tuesday, So you're one and one, so you
don't have to worry about gaining all five, right, but
you gotta get a couple more, right, And here we
go Question number three. So the Cardinals third baseman Nolan Ernado,
Nolan Ronado, his batting average as sits at three eighty five.
(33:14):
That was as of again Tuesday, going into play Tuesday,
thirty three points higher than the next highest batting average
from a player this season? Is that too much or
not enough? That's too much? He says too much? Let's
find out. Is he correct? That is yes, that is right?
(33:34):
Manny Machado was batting of three sixty five as of
again early in the day on Tuesday. All right, Question
number four, This is where I ad lib. I show
my ad libbing skills, my tap dancing skills. So Luca
don Chick of the Dallas Mavericks has now had sixteen
thirty point playoff games prior to turning twenty four. Is
(33:57):
that too much or not enough? Or Luca, this is
before I'll say that that's too many, too much? So
you think sixteen is too many? All right? That is
actually not enough? That is not enough A Luca has
(34:18):
seventeen of those games. He's tied with the late Kobe
Bryant Ken Kevin Durant for the second most before turning
twenty four. Lebron James is ahead of those guys with
twenty one. All right, here we go, seeince last question
(34:38):
comes out of this. Are you ready, Renny? All right?
Viny of Ramon is ready now. Since RBI became an
official stat way back in nineteen twenty two, other players
have accomplished a three home run eight RBI game tying
RBI performance in the eighth or ninth inning, just like
(34:59):
Jack Peterson had for the Giants. So again, since RBI
became an official stat in nineteen twenty three, other big
league players have accomplished what Jack Peterson did in those
categories three or more home runs, eight or more RBIs
and have a game tying RBI in both the eighth
and ninth innings. Is that too much or not enough?
(35:22):
Not enough? Believe it or not? That is that is
too much because only one other guy has done it,
and that that is Joe DiMaggio Joelton Joe DiMaggio back
in nineteen thirty seven. So unfortunately, Vinnie, you do not win.
That's all right. We have a nice parting gift. We'll
(35:42):
give you a lifetime supply nothing in the scriptor nowhere.
So when you want to go nowhere, we'll send you nowhere.
And if you want nothing, we'll give you nothing. Okay, Vinny, okay,
all right, thank you for the show. Thank you all right,
have a good day, stay safe. They're Vinny. They have
a good day at home depot. There goes Vinnie in Vermont,
early starst way to work. I'd like to pat myself
(36:03):
on the back for coming up with two questions from

Big Ben. Today we're gonna make some fetuccini Alfredo, buddy.
Very simple stuff here. I just want to point out
my friend, my radio buddy Sports with Coleman, said, I
(37:57):
have the palette of a child, and I don't care.
I'm a kid at heart. I love fetucchini Alfredo. I
would say that's not a pilot of a child if
you like afrado though, because my daughter doesn't like anything
with sauce. Really, he says, the taste buds of a
fourteen year old. Yeah, you kind of do, I think
more eight. Yeah to that, I agree, Yeah, we're like
an eight year old. You're right, okay, all right, all right,
(38:18):
big man. Fuccini Alfredo, U so chicken feeduccinio Alfredo. What
I do is, you know, we don't have time. It's
busy live you have kids. I always get the rotisserie
chicken from Costco and I add that to my Alfredo sauce. Boom,
and to make chicken feeduccini afredo. That way we cho yeah, Chico,
to cut some time off, all right, yeah, so chicken
(38:38):
veeduccini alfredo. That's the way I do mine, all right,
just avoid having to cook the chicken and all the
extra stuff. But at the star of the show, those
the sauce, right exactly exactly. It's very simple to make,
very simple and very enjoyable bomb all right, very simple
stuff here here. We need a fuccini obviously, all right,
I knew that. Yeah, obviously not psychic, but I yeah,
(39:01):
we needs on for some chicken. Have you whipped cream?
All right, have you whipping cream? Have a cup milk,
one head of garlic, that's what I use. The head
of garlic, a whole head yep, pressed theor minced parmesan cheese,
one stick of butter, kosher salt, yeah all right, and
black papper all right, very simple stuff here, yeah, black pepper. Okay, yeah,
(39:24):
I got it right. Bringing large pot of salted water,
toy boil, add some malive oil, and next add the
feta chini and cooked pasta al dente or according to
the package instructions, usually about eight to ten minutes. All right,
reserve one cup of pasta water. All right, reserve some
of that some of that water. Baby, it's good stuff.
Al dente is a good term. I like, yeah, I
(39:44):
love it. It's gotta be all dente. Yeah, yeah, you gotta.
It's gotta be all dente. Meanwhile, it's it's it's good
because you sound authentic when you say it's right. It's
like you're back in exactly. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan
on medium heat, add the stick of butter, and next
add the garlic, and the aroma is delicious. You smell,
(40:13):
all right, Serve the garlic around and add the cream
and milk. Once the butter melts or just before it
starts to turn brown, very simple, all right, okay, all right,
and cooking to the milk and cream start to start
bubbling and begin to rise to the top. It starts
to rise to the top. Lower the heat and whit
skin the parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper.
(40:33):
All r right, Yeah, let sauce simmer. Wanted two minutes
to think slightly. Sauce will still be thin, but we're
thinking more as sauce cools and pasta is added. All right, okay, check,
check for flavor, and then add a cooked pasta and
toss until coated in sauce. If the sauce is too thick,
add reserved pasta water about one tablespoon at a time.
(40:54):
All right, And I'll like to eat my pasta with
a little bit of red pepper flakes. So sprinkles pepper
flakes if you like, immediately, yeah and enjoy. And just
like that you got some authentic, wholemade Alfredo sauce. Don't
buy that stupid crap in a in a car a
glass bottle, held on cooking with Roberto Boom. Tweet out
(41:18):
that recipe right now,
Hello and welcome. It's our number three, hour three of
our radio program and some interesting commentary coming out of
South Florida, not about the NBA NFL. Should Dolphin fans
be excited about Tyreek Hill gushing over two A Tonga
(00:21):
Bollo's arm strength. We'll answer that question. Also, two h
is he under the most pressure of any starting quarterback
in the NFL? You agree or disagree with that? And
are the Dolphins a playoff team? Playoffs in twenty twenty two?
We'll talk about that as well right now in our
(00:41):
number three here it is Hey, thanks for listening to
the Ben Mallers Show podcast. It's me Ben. Be sure
to catch us live every weeknight from two to six
Eastern eleven pm the three am Pacific right here on
Fox Sports Radio. You can find your local station for
The Ben Mallers Show over at Fox Sports Radio dot com,
or stream us live every night on the iHeartRadio app
(01:04):
by searching f s R. You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.
A cheating known for its speed, known for running, but
is it known for running its mouth? Welcome in the
beginning of another hour of the Bend Mallers Show, as
(01:27):
we are together in the air everywhere as we move
heaven and Earth, unless we don't coast to coast, border
the border and beyond on the mast and astronomically powerful
microphones of f s R emmnting live from the box,
(01:53):
the soapbox, the Fox Sports Radio Studios at a secret
location somewhere in the Northwood, and so our lead this
hour coming from the mouth of an NFL player, but
not to a tongue of Byloa, although it is about
to a tongue of Byloa. Now he is known for
(02:15):
having a noodle arm noodle noodle noodle toa not the
strongest buzuka. You can buy more of a peace shooter
than a Bozuka. So if you didn't hear these comments,
and these are not from tour, but if you didn't
hear these comments, let me kind of get you cut
up a speed. So with that as the backdrop to it,
not known as having a big cannon for an arm,
(02:37):
Tyreek Hill entered the chat and he signed that a
big contract after being traded from Kansas City, and he
spoke to the assembled media at OTA's on Tuesday, So
this is in the last twenty four hours. And what
did he say toa. There is a quote from Tyreek Hill.
He said, tah actually as one of the prettiest ball
(03:00):
balls I have ever caught in my life. To us,
he's a very accurate, very accurate quarterback. Tyreek Hill opine
so again to us said actually has one of two
has actually one of the prettiest balls kind of graphic
that I have ever caught in my life. And ta
(03:21):
is a very accurate quarter quote continues, Tyreek Hill said,
I'm very confident in my quarterback. The sky is the
limit for that guy. Heck about talent has crazy armed strength,
armed talent? How does an arm have talent? Is it?
Can any explain how an armed talent? All right, so
(03:45):
he's just repeating mumbo jumble that other idiots have brought up.
So let us discuss the question should Dolphin fans be
excited about Tyreek Hill slopper slapper slopper cushing all over
a tongue of Ioloah's arm strength. So I'm gonna say
you shouldn't be excited, you should be suspicious. The proper
(04:08):
position on this is suspicion. So I've got Pony Express,
Twilight Zone and Cassa Bloca and we will combine all
of these random things together, and that will be the
peanut butter and jelly sandwich that we put together here,
the greatest sandwich of them all, the peanut butter and
(04:29):
jelly with the proper mount peanut butter, gobs of peanut
butter and some proper mix of jelly. Can't go You
can't go wrong with that sandwich, all right. So first
of all, Tyreek Hill is being a good soldier or
in this case, a good receiver. This has the vibe
of a manufactured storyline out of South Florida, the Dolphins.
(04:53):
Here's how I see this in that little cartoon bubble
over my head. Here's how I see this story. So
the Dolphins get together. You know what a group of
dolphins together is called. That's right, a pod. So the
Dolphins form a pod. And that this was This was
all drawn up on a whiteboard. It's all premeditated. So
(05:15):
all premeditator. I'll tell you why. The Miami football team
tweeted out a hype video a couple of weeks back
in which their quarterback played like a quarterback with a
new alarm. What does that mean? He undered threw the
receiver who had to stop and wait for the ball,
you know, the old stop right one one thousand and two,
(05:35):
one thousand and three, win thousand and four, one thousand
and five, win thousand Okay, I got the ball. And
so after that video went viral, that hype video which backfired,
they got together and they asked one another, how can
we change the story, change the narrative around ta tongue
of byloa. So they threw out a bunch of ideas
(05:57):
and at some point the light ball went on, not off,
went on in the strategic command center, and they said, okay,
damage control. What we're gonna do where the Miami Dolphins,
and what we're gonna do is deputize our guy, Tyreek Hill.
He's our pony express Tyreek Hill. He'll get the message out.
(06:22):
And so really this becomes a stupid test. As we
often warn, do not be gullible, don't be that Hayse
that falls for this. It is a fugazy set of
quotes from Tyreek Hill. I don't think he believes that,
and the Dolphins don't believe that. Otherwise they would have
been flirting with multiple quarterbacks in the off season. Didn't
(06:45):
have enough to get the job done because of some
previous transactions. Now. Secondly, so to a tygerby Lowa. Let's
get to toa he's under the most pressure of any
quarterback in the NFL. That's a popular storyline. Is to
a tugboya under the most pressure of any quarterback starting
in the NFL. You agree or disagree. So I agree
(07:05):
with a proviso, I agree with a proviso. Everything is relative.
We know that in life everything is relative. But he's
not in a unique situation to it. The expectations have
been raised, and there is a quarterback twosome that is
very similar to a tongue Aboula is a placeholder. He
(07:27):
is at the placeholders table until he proves he's better
than just a guy and better than being a placeholder.
And you don't know, and I don't know, and the
Miami Dolphins don't know whether that is the case. But
when you look around the NFL, there are many quarterbacks
(07:47):
who are not exactly putting down roots here you might
want to rent, don't buy. Not counting first or second
year player, so players either going to their third year
or further. By my guest estimation, thirty percent thirty percent
of the football industry is in a place I call
(08:09):
the twilight zone, because picture, if you will, a world
where a ten pack of quarterbacks are hanging onto their
jobs by their fingernails. And that includes who Genos Smith
slash Drew Locke, one of those two guys, who ever
gets the starting job in Seattle famous jamis not so
(08:30):
famous in the NFL? Winston with New Orleans, Sam Darnold,
whoever starts in Carolina, Jared Golf with Detroit not a
long term starter, Carson Wentz and Washington. Also, how am
I doing them' doing? Go so far? I've got Daniel
Jones with the Giants his last year, and we've got
Ryan Tannehill as mentioned from a previous hour, and Matt Ryan.
(08:54):
So that's a ten pack and I left one out.
The tenth quarterback is Jalen Hurt. And I have on
my big board to a tongue of Byeloa and Jalen
Hurts side by side, that they're doppel gangers. That Jalen
Hurts is seen as a trick shot quarterback who is
a running quarterback, not a great thrower, and Tuah is
(09:18):
a guy who's very accurate what you want, but does
not throw the deep ball. He's a nickel and dime
type of quarterback. He's a dink and dunk type of quarterback.
And so those two are married at the hip. They
are tied together at the hip. Jalen Hurts and Philly
because high expectations. They got a big receiver now in
(09:39):
a J. Brown from the Tennessee Titans, and so Philadelphia
is expected to be better. And also the Miami Dolphins.
All right, final five. So turning the page, will Tyree
Hill see his performance go down, down, down, down, down
in decline in twenty tw two and so it's kind
(10:03):
of like saying, is your four oh one k doing
well since the start of the year. Well, that's a
rhetorical question. Of course. The stock markets taken in the
short tier and Tyreek Hill the outlook, if you look
at the crystal ball, the outlook is highly volatile. It
is a highly volatile situation. Now, in situations like this,
(10:24):
you don't have to go very far. You often look
to the gambling market. The gambling market is a key
indicator of what's to come. They have very little confidence
in Tyreek and what is Miami's now. Our friends, they're
an advertiser DraftKings recently they had the over under totals
this season for Tyreek Hill in Miami one thousand, ninety
(10:50):
nine point five, so one ninety nine and a half
yard and eight and a half touchdowns. Now, if those
totals sound kind of low, your ears are not deceiving you.
The reason that they are kind of low is because
both are much further down near where the mushrooms grow
(11:10):
than what Tyreek Hill has been putting up on the
stat sheet at least the last couple of years in
Cannes City. So we all know the story here. Tyreek
is leaving his personal football casablanca. You're not in Kansas
City anymore, filled with greenbacks and surfboards and all that
(11:31):
one twenty million over four years will get you to
sing a lullah by about your quarterback and your new
city and your new team. But again, the bookies, if
you look at what the sports line maker the gambling
house has put out there, they do not have confidence
that Tua talking about lowill be able to get the
(11:53):
ball to Tyreek Hill in similar situations as they had
in the Chiefs uniform. Now, Tyreek, I've said this before
in previous episodes. I will say it again. Tyreek is
going to have to become the Yakeney yak boss yards
after the catch. If Mike McDaniel the new boy wonder
(12:15):
genius coach, If Mike McDaniel uses Tyreek Hill in a
similar fashion to Deebo Samuel, there's a shot. And remember
that there is no correlation between stats and wins and losses,
wins and blankety blank losses. Now, my example of that
is Megatron. Remember Calvin Johnson. You might be old enough
(12:37):
to remember when he played for the Lions and he
had one of the masterpiece seasons you can have as
a receiver nineteen hundred and sixty four yards receiving with
the twenty twelve Detroit Lions. Do you want to take
a guess how many games the Lions won when Calvin
Johnson was running up and down the field catching massive
(12:57):
chunk plays. The answer four. The Lions won four games
that year with Calvin Johnson. So the moral, or the
lesson rather lesson of the story is you can put
up stats. It doesn't necessarily mean anything is going to
You're gonna turn out as far as wins are concerned,
garbage time enhancer yards will be available. They will be
(13:21):
available for you, all right, it is the Ben Mallard Show. No,
I promised Mallard of the third degree, and if you
promise something, you gotta pay it off. And so hit
that button, Roberto, here we go, stretch up gets Maller.
How about that to the third degree. This is one
big band gets grilled and it is time to aw
(13:43):
for Mallard to the third degree. This portion of the

(14:06):
So a producer, Ricky is in the hissy Ricky, what
do we have here? Mallard of the third degree? Okay,
New Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson says he plans to be
non emotional plane Seahawks in week one. Ben, is this possible?
So the answer is no. R I saw this quote
(14:27):
from Russ this week and he is cooking up nonsense.
It's not healthy, like Russell Wilson used a crowbarll He
took him two years. He used the crowbar two years
to get out of Seattle. He was unhappy with Pete
Carroll didn't like the antequated Seahawks offense. So if he
can carve up the Seahawks in a Bronco uniform, that
(14:47):
would be wonderful. Right, He just desserts in his head.
There is legitimate animosity on both sides. So I don't
believe this is a non emotional situation. And this is
something that I relate to. Also, having been in the
radio business a long time, I've worked at a few
different places. All I've been here a long while. That
(15:08):
the chance to stick a dagger in the heart of
a former employer. What's not to like about that? That's
a healthy thing. I realize you're not supposed to talk
about it because that's taboo. But I disagree with Russ
that will be a non emotional situation. Next Ben Manny
Machado's Padres are playing like a first place team and
(15:30):
will get better should the Dodgers be concerned about San Diego.
So here's the way I look at the Podres, the
Pods squad. They've got a good team, but not all
precincts they're reporting, and the Dodgers are not going to
lose any sleep over San Diego in May. I know
that to be true. It's just a bunch of cockamami nonsense.
(15:52):
It is a race, not a sprint. And as the
Pods squad proved last season with pretty much the same
team back when they faded like the sunset over the
Pacific last year, the Dodgers have a lot of room
to improve. Also, so Manny Machilo's argument as well, the
Padres are playing well and they're gonna get better. Well,
(16:13):
I could say the same thing about the Dodgers. Mookie
Bets has finally started to be the player he had been,
the MVP level ball player, Mookie Bets, the guy that
he had been with the Red Sox and briefly with
the Dodgers, And so they've he started hit. But you
look at the Dodge a line of Max Munsey sucks,
Cody Bellinger stinks, and Justin Turner blows. So that's thirty
three percent of the everyday lineup. So the Dodgers, they've
(16:36):
got a lot of parts of that team that are
devoid of matter, and they're still the top dog in
baseball next, So, Paul O'Neill was scheduled to appear on
w f A N in New York to promote his book,
but the interview was canceled because O'Neill's PR handlers refused
to have him discussed that Tim Anderson and Josh Donaldson breuhaha, Ben,
(16:58):
Was this the right call? Yes, Bravo, I love this story.
I don't know who this guy is. Brandon Tierney. He's
been in the business a long time. He's the cat
that made the call that was the biggest story this
week in baseball. It involved the Yankees. That is a
local New York radio station. O'Neill is a legend in
the Bronx. He was on there to promote a book,
to give a book about his opinions. It is unacceptable
(17:21):
to avoid the Komodo dragon in the room. And this
is one of the reasons that in working overnight, one
of the reasons I avoid having a lot of guests.
I do it on the podcast, but there are people
I usually know. In a memo to those of you
who are popping up to promote books or other products
on a sports radio show, if you're going to go
into the ocean, expect to get wet. And if you're
(17:44):
afraid to talk about a topic, then you shouldn't be
doing interviews. That's embarrassing. And the pr handles are a joke.
And Paul O'Neill not being able to handle his own
business as also fraudulent. That's for ghaisy. There it is,
holler to the third degree? How did we do? Eloquent? Pass?
Thank you? Eloquent? Eloquent pallor all right, straight ahead. We'll
(18:11):
take your calls at eight seven, seven ninety nine Fox,
also on Twitter at Ben Maller, and we'll have an
episode of Umpires Say the Darnedest Things. Umpires Say the

And then now you are a fan for the rest
(21:34):
of your life. And also that Brady when he stole
that from that doctor. Oh my god, that football. You
said that right on the air against that was incredible
because I was thinking the same thing. Yeah, you have
for you. Now here's your Chris. Can you guess this?
What team had four or twenty game winners in the
major leagues? Only one? All right, I'm gonna go what
(21:55):
do I win? If I get this right, you get
a lifetime and I'm gonna get your birthday for real
and send you I'm real nice. All right? Baltimore Orioles?
How did you know that? Oh my god, I got
it right? I kind of right, the Baltimore Orioles that
they got as the fourth Who was that guy? See
now you're answering your father. I know that was the
(22:15):
Jim Palmer Era McNally, And I am Pat Dopson, so
I think of Pat Dobs. He was a pitching coach
for a long time after Doption was the fourth pitcher. Yeah, hey, Mark,
can you turn the radio all the way up? All
the way down? Whatever? Mark? Can you can you go
turn the radio all the way up? I want to

(23:00):
What led you to the same late at night and
hearing someone that has brains that knows sports and also
makes people laugh and your quizins are just wonderful. I
hope people are listening to me because this is the
best show in the world. It really is. Mark my contracts, Mark,
my contracts coming up. So if you want to negotiate
(23:21):
my next contract, Mark, you can be my agent. How
much you thin guy should get paid? Marked my next day?
I wore red serious about that, but uh, you know,
when I was in third grade, they wanted to skip
me three grades distantly. I never brag about that, but
I'm pretty sure you're bragging about it right now. Mark.
You are bragging. No, you just said you're not going
to brag about it, but you're bragging about it on
five Hundle radio stations. You're bragging about it fans out
(23:44):
here all over the West coast because of that Buck's prediction.
That was brilliant. Man. All right, all right, you're repeating yourself.
Thank you, Mark. There you go, Mark, you barkey spoutsing
around the walls there and there's a guy, and I
get you might say that's inappropriate that I asked a
guy to call a radio show up and then I
asked him to turn the volume all the way up
(24:05):
on the radio. But I did that because oftentimes we
take calls from people like Marcel and Brooklyn and Hollerween
James in Minnesota and they don't they don't have a
show on. He's got the show on. So anyway, we're
gonna have later this Sorry. At cooking with the Berto,
what are we making, Roberto? Do we have anything specific?
We're makingcini alfredo? Bad? Oh that's I go into a
(24:30):
nice Italian restaurant, I always order the feeder. You can
make yourself at home. Come on, man, I understand, but
if I if I see on the menu they don't
have fetuccini alfredo, I'm like, this is not a good
at Tian restaurant then and making at home. With the
price of food going up and all that eating out, Yeah,
you're better off eating. Look at it. Look at it
at a menu in Italian restaurant. I never order because
I always making at home. I have a I have
(24:51):
a rule. I've shared over the ars my rule. When
I go to an Italian restaurant with my wife and
they don't have bread on the table with butter, I
think that's a let a low grade restaurant. Oh yeah,
like a Mexican restaurant with say exactly right, same thing, ye,
same concept. You build that into the price of the food.
That is an expectation when I go to a Mexican
restaurant chips and salsa. If you don't have it or
(25:12):
you charge extra for it, screw you. And if I
go to an Italian restaurant and they don't have the butter,
the bread and the butter on the table, I think
this is a low grade at Italian resta Yep, I
need to go to a better restaurant anyway. It is
the Bennett Maller show. We are going to have too
much or not enough. That means I need a contestant.
Ricky at eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. So
(25:33):
you can talk to the Hannibal Lecter of Fox Sports Radio, Ricky,
and he might put you on to play the game
at eight seven seven ninety nine one Fox. That's too
much or not enough. But right now over to Eddie Garcia,
we go to get you caught up on everything going
on in the old night. All right, thanks Ben. We
start with the NBA Playoffs game full of the Western
Conference Finals, and it wasn't a great game, but it
(25:56):
wasn't necessarily a blowout either. It was it was okay,
I guess Mavericks had a big lead against the Warriors.
Golden State did cut it to single digits, but in
the end one nineteen one on nine, Dallas with the
victory to stay alive in the postseason. Luca Dodgitch not surprising,
leading them with the near triple double thirty points fourteen rebounds.
He had nine assists, and Dallas as a team hit
(26:16):
twenty of their forty three three point attempts. For those
backup guys, it was the secondary actors, Eddie that were
key for the Mavericks. They made a bunch of shots.
They shot almost seventy percent. The secondary guys, the spot
and spot and the jump shot guys. Yeah, that's probably
not gonna happen again. But good for them so far.
I mean, you know, they're still alive. I guess. Well
on a video game, Steph Curry twenty points for Golden State.
(26:37):
He only attempted five to three pointers. He doesn't he
usually do that in like a quarter. He only hit
two of them. And you know, I don't know anyway,
Dallas avoids elimination Golden States still as in the three
one advantage in the series. There will be a game
five Thursday in San Francisco NHL Stanley Cup Playoff second
round action. The Rangers beat the Hurricanes four to one.
Goalie igorsche sterk in thirty saves in the win. Mika's
Abena Jat added a goal. At series is tied at
(26:59):
the two two. The teams won every game so far
in the series. For Carolina, they have not won a
road game yet in the playoffs, but they're undefeated at home,
so that's working out for him so far. The Oilers
beat the Flames five to three. Of vander Came two
more goals for Edmonton to giving him twelve and eleven
playoff games so far this postseason. Edmonton now with a
three one advantage in the series to Major League Baseball,
(27:21):
where the Giants went a wild win over the Mats
thirteen to twelve. The finals, Sandrans Let's go two and
the ninth to get the walkoff winning a Brandon Crawford
RBIs single. Huge game for outfielder Jock Peterson four hits,
three of them home runs, eight RBI. He had a
pair of two run homers, a three run shot and
an RBI single. New York Mets s Francisco Lindora homer
six RBI in a losing effort. Red Sox beat the
(27:41):
White Sox sixteen to three. Trevor's story is still hot
for Boston hit a homer, drove in four. He's got
six homers seventeen RBI in his last five games, and
the Red Sox have won six in a row. Yankees
walk off of the seven six win over the Orioles
and eleven Dodgers down the Nationals nine to four. Mookie
Bets two home runs drove in four for La Brewers
over the Padres four to one. A battle of former
Side Young Award winners. Corbyn Burns gets the win from
(28:01):
Milwaukee Blake Snell the loss for San Diego. The Blue
Jays down the Cardinals eight to one. It was the
Astroids over the Guardians seven three. Angels knock off the
Rangers five three, so the Angels are still one game
back of Houston in that race for the AL West lead.
Cubs over the Reds eleven four. Braves walk off with
a six five win over the Phillies. They score two
to the ninth to get that win. Twins shut off
the Tigers two nothing. Minnesota's third Sonny Gray and two
(28:23):
relievers combining on the five Bits shut out the A's
snap a thirteen game losing skid against the Mariners with
a seven to five win. In Seattle, Rays shut out
the Marlins ford out thing, Rockies get by the Pirates
two one in ten, and the Diamondbacks to beat the
Royals eight to six. Tonight in the NBA Playoffs, we

Another note from the NFL. Yeah, tight end Rob Grunkowski's
Gronk working out with quarterback Tom Brady in the Tampa area.
(29:07):
Of course, Gronk still is not said if he's gonna
play this season or not, but no one's gonna be
surprised if see what he's doing with Gronk. I assume
he was throwing up a football. Now they were playing baseball.
It was a video Brady and Gronk, They're out there
playing some hardball. That's interesting. Well, Brady was a baseball player.
(29:27):
If only the Montreal Expos had offered him more money,
he would have never been Tom Brady the football star.
He would have been Tom Brady the Montreally did he
play baseball at Michigan, Tom Brady? He was drafted I
think out of high school? Yeah he was high school. Yeah,
I believe so, I believe so. So Anyway, I saw
that video going around. It is the Ben Maller Show.
(29:49):
As we continue on here into the overnight hours, further
and further into the overnight hours. And this portion of
the Ben Mallards Show is made possible by you know who? Right?
Everyone knows who? Right? Yes, I let's play the game
and then I'll do the read because I want some time.
I played the damn game. You hit that button? Too
(30:13):
many of these? Too much? Or not enough enough? Already? Ah?
All right, here we go. I see only three questions,
so I might have to add some extra questions if
to play the game. Probably, Ricky, we usually have five questions.
I only see three questions. I am I reading this wrong, Ricky.
I only see three questions? Here? Are there only three questions? Yeah?
(30:34):
I listened to the segment last week. I only heard three.
I'm sorry. Oh all right, Well, I'll have to add
live a little bit and that'll make it a little difficult,
but we'll see what happens. Let's go to Benny in Vermont. Hello, Benny,
you're gonna play too much or not enough? Hello Benny's
Oh well, Ricky thought it was Benny. He wanted to
(30:57):
call you Benny. Yeah, all right, well, Ben in Vermont,
I apologize. That has a nice, nice flow to it.
Vinnie in VERMONTI flows off the tongue and what brings
you to the show here tonight? Viney? Are you working?
What are you? What are you doing? Yeah? Yeah, I'm
on my way to home depot this morning. I work
in a receiving department. Okay, I got you, very cool,
big big fan of the home depot, all right? Of
(31:20):
any well, good luck here. You gotta get three right
to win. And if you get all five right, then
I will give you two golden tickets. But all you
have to do is get three right. Are you ready?
I'm ready? All right? Vinnie on his way to home
depot in Vermont. Question number one at the right page
of thirty nine years old the Houston cheating as strow
(31:43):
starting pitcher justin Verlanders one point two to e ra
A through his first eight starts is the lowest for
a starting pitcher in the last decade. Is that too
much or not enough? All right? To see if Vinnie
is right that is correct? The answers too much? Jacob
(32:08):
deGrom at a point six two ERA through eight games
for the Metropolitans, but not this year because he's hurt.
Question number two, Aaron Judge seventeen dingers this season, more
than the total number of home runs for the league's
(32:29):
worst home run hitting team, the Detroit Tigers. Is that
too much or not enough? Nope, that's too much? All right,
he says too much again, let's fight out if Vinnie
and Vermont is right? No, not enough the Tigers? If
it twenty two home runs as of Tuesday going into
(32:52):
play on Tuesday, So you're one and one, so you
don't have to worry about gaining all five, right, but
you gotta get a couple more, right, And here we
go Question number three. So the Cardinals third baseman Nolan Ernado,
Nolan Ronado, his batting average as sits at three eighty five.
(33:14):
That was as of again Tuesday, going into play Tuesday,
thirty three points higher than the next highest batting average
from a player this season? Is that too much or
not enough? That's too much? He says too much? Let's
find out. Is he correct? That is yes, that is right?
(33:34):
Manny Machado was batting of three sixty five as of
again early in the day on Tuesday. All right, Question
number four, This is where I ad lib. I show
my ad libbing skills, my tap dancing skills. So Luca
don Chick of the Dallas Mavericks has now had sixteen
thirty point playoff games prior to turning twenty four. Is
(33:57):
that too much or not enough? Or Luca, this is
before I'll say that that's too many, too much? So
you think sixteen is too many? All right? That is
actually not enough? That is not enough A Luca has
(34:18):
seventeen of those games. He's tied with the late Kobe
Bryant Ken Kevin Durant for the second most before turning
twenty four. Lebron James is ahead of those guys with
twenty one. All right, here we go, seeince last question
(34:38):
comes out of this. Are you ready, Renny? All right?
Viny of Ramon is ready now. Since RBI became an
official stat way back in nineteen twenty two, other players
have accomplished a three home run eight RBI game tying
RBI performance in the eighth or ninth inning, just like
(34:59):
Jack Peterson had for the Giants. So again, since RBI
became an official stat in nineteen twenty three, other big
league players have accomplished what Jack Peterson did in those
categories three or more home runs, eight or more RBIs
and have a game tying RBI in both the eighth
and ninth innings. Is that too much or not enough?
(35:22):
Not enough? Believe it or not? That is that is
too much because only one other guy has done it,
and that that is Joe DiMaggio Joelton Joe DiMaggio back
in nineteen thirty seven. So unfortunately, Vinnie, you do not win.
That's all right. We have a nice parting gift. We'll
(35:42):
give you a lifetime supply nothing in the scriptor nowhere.
So when you want to go nowhere, we'll send you nowhere.
And if you want nothing, we'll give you nothing. Okay, Vinny, okay,
all right, thank you for the show. Thank you all right,
have a good day, stay safe. They're Vinny. They have
a good day at home depot. There goes Vinnie in Vermont,
early starst way to work. I'd like to pat myself

Big Ben. Today we're gonna make some fetuccini Alfredo, buddy.
Very simple stuff here. I just want to point out
my friend, my radio buddy Sports with Coleman, said, I
(37:57):
have the palette of a child, and I don't care.
I'm a kid at heart. I love fetucchini Alfredo. I
would say that's not a pilot of a child if
you like afrado though, because my daughter doesn't like anything
with sauce. Really, he says, the taste buds of a
fourteen year old. Yeah, you kind of do, I think
more eight. Yeah to that, I agree, Yeah, we're like
an eight year old. You're right, okay, all right, all right,
(38:18):
big man. Fuccini Alfredo, U so chicken feeduccinio Alfredo. What
I do is, you know, we don't have time. It's
busy live you have kids. I always get the rotisserie
chicken from Costco and I add that to my Alfredo sauce. Boom,
and to make chicken feeduccini afredo. That way we cho yeah, Chico,
to cut some time off, all right, yeah, so chicken
(38:38):
veeduccini alfredo. That's the way I do mine, all right,
just avoid having to cook the chicken and all the
extra stuff. But at the star of the show, those
the sauce, right exactly exactly. It's very simple to make,
very simple and very enjoyable bomb all right, very simple
stuff here here. We need a fuccini obviously, all right,
I knew that. Yeah, obviously not psychic, but I yeah,
(39:01):
we needs on for some chicken. Have you whipped cream?
All right, have you whipping cream? Have a cup milk,
one head of garlic, that's what I use. The head
of garlic, a whole head yep, pressed theor minced parmesan cheese,
one stick of butter, kosher salt, yeah all right, and
black papper all right, very simple stuff here, yeah, black pepper. Okay, yeah,
(39:24):
I got it right. Bringing large pot of salted water,
toy boil, add some malive oil, and next add the
feta chini and cooked pasta al dente or according to
the package instructions, usually about eight to ten minutes. All right,
reserve one cup of pasta water. All right, reserve some
of that some of that water. Baby, it's good stuff.
Al dente is a good term. I like, yeah, I
(39:44):
love it. It's gotta be all dente. Yeah, yeah, you gotta.
It's gotta be all dente. Meanwhile, it's it's it's good
because you sound authentic when you say it's right. It's
like you're back in exactly. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan
on medium heat, add the stick of butter, and next
add the garlic, and the aroma is delicious. You smell,
(40:13):
all right, Serve the garlic around and add the cream
and milk. Once the butter melts or just before it
starts to turn brown, very simple, all right, okay, all right,
and cooking to the milk and cream start to start
bubbling and begin to rise to the top. It starts
to rise to the top. Lower the heat and whit
skin the parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper.
(40:33):
All r right, Yeah, let sauce simmer. Wanted two minutes
to think slightly. Sauce will still be thin, but we're
thinking more as sauce cools and pasta is added. All right, okay, check,
check for flavor, and then add a cooked pasta and
toss until coated in sauce. If the sauce is too thick,
add reserved pasta water about one tablespoon at a time.
(40:54):
All right, And I'll like to eat my pasta with
a little bit of red pepper flakes. So sprinkles pepper
flakes if you like, immediately, yeah and enjoy. And just
like that you got some authentic, wholemade Alfredo sauce. Don't
buy that stupid crap in a in a car a
glass bottle, held on cooking with Roberto Boom. Tweet out
