  Speaker 1: The Benny Mankin, the Benny Mankin. That's baseball, Susan. It's
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: our number three. And a boom shakalaka to you. The
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Rays celebrated at Yankee Stadium, beat the Yankees,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: and they are the division champions and the top dog
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: in the American League. Did the Yankees, though, mishandle their
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: franchise player Aaron Judge's And his return from a fractured
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: rib judge is now out for at least the start
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: of the baseball playoffs, which begin next week. The Red
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Sox have rewarded manager Chad Tracy before he managed a
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: single playoff game. Is that smart stability in Boston or
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: premature celebration? And is Andy Green for three years a
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: smart guy? play for consistency for the Mets or the
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: most boring managerial hire possible. We'll take a look at that.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: A couple of managing jobs that were interim have become
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: permanent jobs. We'll get to all that and more right now. Also,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: the Queen of Hearts with Lorena, some other bits. Settle in.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: It's hour number three. Don't judge me, bro. Don't judge me.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Maller Show. We are in the air everywhere. Slithering. Around
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: the microphones, as we often do. Absolutely. And we try
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: to avoid that golden sombrero. We do not want the
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: golden sombrero. No, that's bad news. Try to avoid that
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: at all costs here. Coast to coast, border to border,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: and beyond. On the vast.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: And.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Exceptionally powerful microphones of FSR emanating live from the roll,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: the big bankroll of the overnight, even on a hump day,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: guaranteed human, on the world-famous Fox Sports Radio studios where
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Mad Jack and our friend Parito, they agree with the
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: late-night drug tester that it's all about Express, the Express ride.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: If you work in logistics, you know nothing moves without you.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Companies need skilled people now, and Express Employment Professionals can
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: help you find contract or full-time work.

• 2:36
  Speaker 1: and get to work. That's ExpressPros.com. Lead story this hour,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: the rare and appropriate baseball monologue. We are winding down
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: what will likely be the last regular season until 2028.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: If the fear-mongering baseball media is correct, this is it.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: The final couple of days of the baseball regular season.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: They'll have the playoffs and then that's all she wrote.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: No more baseball. There'll be a long work stoppage tomorrow.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: That will likely take away pretty much all of 2027.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: So let's enjoy the final couple days of the baseball season.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: And what better way to start than to visit the
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Boogie Down Bronx. As we close things out here, the
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Yankees decided to allow, very nice to their visitors, they
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: allowed Tampa Bay to beat them and to clinch the
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: American League East. And they're the top dogs over there
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: in the American League, the Tampa Bay baseball team. And
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: they did it at Yankee Stadium. Now, prior to that,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: the Yankees picked up a body blow, body blow, body blow.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: If you didn't hear about this, perhaps not. We have
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: learned now that Aaron Judge, Aaron Judge has a quote,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: moderate grade right calf strain. So as you know, to
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: do sports talk radio, you have to have great medical
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: and legal training. So a right calf strain. That means,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: I am told, not a doctor, I can play one
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: on the radio, that Aaron Judge will miss at the
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: very least the wild card round of the Yankee postseason.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: And the Yankees likely going to play their Boston, right?
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: American League, I think that's pretty much wrapped up now.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: American League wildcard round. So the Yankees will play the Sox.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Manager Aaron Boone said the Yankees are, quote, planning on him, Judge,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: not being part of the wildcard round. Although, of course,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: like all these guys, he did not go all the
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: way and say there's no chance he's playing. In fact,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Aaron Judge would not completely rule Judge out. If there's
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: some kind of modern medical miracle that accelerates his rehab,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Judge received a plasma injection. You always love your plasma injections.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: He will avoid running and jumping for several days. Of course,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: some would argue that Aaron Judge has avoided running and
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: jumping for many years. So that is a good jumping
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: off point. Let us discuss the question. It's a rather
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: obvious question. Did the Yankees mishandle? Their franchise player Aaron
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Judge's return from a fractured rib. So I've got Sleeve
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: of Saltines, Banana Hammock, and the Village Tattoo Shop. And
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: we will combine all of these things together. And we
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: are going to go round and round and round the merry-go-round.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: But we start off with this. To lead off here,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: to answer the question, did the Yankees... Aaron Judge's return
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: from the fractured rib. So the answer is, and I'm
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: nodding my head yes, the answer is yes. Nodding my
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: head yes. The votes are in. All votes have been counted,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: and Aaron Judge's durability remains his soft underbelly. That's the
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: reality of the situation. So Aaron Boone and Brian Cashman,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Tweedledee and Tweedledum, what did they do? They genuflected to
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Aaron Judge. And they said, listen, you have a personal preference.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: And Judge says, yes, I have a personal preference. Well,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: what is your personal preference? My preference is I don't
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: do minor league rehab. I don't need a minor league rehab.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: I'm the captain of the Yankees. I ain't going to
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: your little dopey minor league rehab. So Brian Cashman and
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Aaron Boone were like, okay, you don't want to go.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Don't go. That's it. It's beneath you, apparently. You're Mr.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: 99 in pinstripes. You don't need to go there. Come on.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: So whether he didn't want to go to Scranton-Wilkes-Barre, the
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Rail Riders, that's a good name. I saw them play
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: earlier this year against the Woosocks. He didn't want to
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: play for the Rail Riders or the Somerset Patriots or
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: the Hudson Valley Renegades or anyone else in the Yankees organization.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: And he knew better than the medical people and baseball
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: tradition where you go on a minor league rehab assignment.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: And so he missed most of the summer, Aaron Judge,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: with a fractured rib. Not a baby back, baby back,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: baby back rib, just a fractured rib. He then skipped
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: the rehab and went four for 23. That's a 176
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: batting average with one dong, one ding dong. That's it
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: in seven games and immediately got hurt again. Immediately got
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: hurt again. And I can feel the pain of our
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: friend Jill in Minnesota, thinking that everything would be fine.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: And Aaron Judge would be back. Big Yankee fan there.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Not so much. Not so much, though. Here's the issue, though.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: It's one thing. He's hurt. He's going to miss some games.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: He'll miss the first round of the playoffs. So now
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: he's got this, they're calling it a grade two calf strain.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: And if you go on the interweb, that means Judge
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: will be out anywhere from three to six weeks. He's
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: a baseball player, so you bet the over on that.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: You bet the over on that. So six weeks, that's
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: pretty much it, right? Am I right on that? Six weeks,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: a month and a half from now? That takes you
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: through the month of October. And I know sometimes this
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: stuff spills into November, but generally the meat of the
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: playoffs and the Yankees aren't that good anyway this year.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: So good luck on that. Some other players will have
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: opportunities to step up and become October heroes, but you
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: don't bet on that. You certainly don't. And how is
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: that a colossally failed... How is it not a colossally
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: failed comeback plan that Aaron Judge went out there, played
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: seven games, got hurt again? And historically, he has been
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: more of a Mr. May, June, and July guy than Mr. October.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: But you look at the way the Yankees have constructed
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: this roster and this lineup, and they do have some
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: other big boppers in the lineup. However... Aaron Judge is
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: the bedrock. He's the absolute bedrock of this lineup. And
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: his absence inflicts a heavy psychological amount of damage to
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: the lineup. The Yankees looked like they were sleepwalking against
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Tampa Bay in that game that was played on Tuesday night.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: It was a hot mess. So the Yankees brought the
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: October lobster roll. They bought that. They said, all right,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: we got Aaron Judge. That's our October lobster dinner, and
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: that's great. And then now Judge shows up, and instead
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: of being that October lobster dinner, the Yankees are getting
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: a sleeve of saltines. That's what they're getting there. They
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: also got a heating pad, so that was tossed in,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: a little heating pad there. The Yankees without Aaron Judge
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: in October, it's kind of like going to see a
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: Broadway show without the headliner. The lead actor. The curtain
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: goes up. But what are we doing here? You're entitled
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: to a refund on Broadway when the person who is
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: in the marquee or on the marquee does not show up. Now, meanwhile,
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: we go to Baltimore. and if you thought the Red
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Sox were going to go out and hire some highfalutin
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: big-name manager, you are a loser. Chad Tracy. Chad Tracy
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: is officially Boston's manager. The Red Sox taking away that
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: interim tag title. He is now signed through the 2029 season.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: There is a club option for 2030. The baseball head nerd,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Craig Breslow, the general manager, also receiving a vote of
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: confidence from Red Sox ownership. They extended him, picking up
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: his option until 2030. So this all following one of
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: the most redonkulous months of baseball you have ever seen,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: a little over a month. The Red Sox were 14
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: games under. 500 when Chad Tracy took over. And then
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: they caught fire. And they played 37 games, went 32-5
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: beginning June 25th. And they have eventually clinched a playoff spot,
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: so the Red Sox are into the postseason. The question,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: the Red Sox rewarding manager Chad Tracy before he managed
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: a single playoff game, is that smart stability by the
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Red Sox or premature celebration? You make the call. So
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: I love the story. Now, some of you know my
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: background because you're stalkers. And you know where I began
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: and some of the people I've come across in my life.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: And one of the people, and I was around baseball
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: for a long time, daily, before the Dodgers got Otani
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: and I was blacklisted. But when I was covering baseball
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: on a regular basis back in the day, one of
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: the people that could not have been nicer was Jim Tracy.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: Jim Tracy briefly managed the Dodgers. He also managed the
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: Rockies and the Pirates. The micromanager ahead of his time,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: Jim Tracy. He was into all the numbers and all
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: the nerd stats. And so he was the Dodgers manager many,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: many years ago. And his kid is Chad Tracy. So
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: I'm totally pulling for Chad Tracy to dominate and be
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: the Red Sox manager for the next 10 years. I
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: think that would be wonderful. Now, that being said... If
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: I was in charge of the Red Sox, would I
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: have made this move? Hell no! I would not have
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: made this move. I would have waited to see how
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: things go in the month of October. The Red Sox
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: did not marry the prettiest girl at the homecoming dance.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: They married the one who happened to be in the car.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: That's who they married there. And so a 37-game midsummer burner.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: And it was a burner. And suddenly they're fitting... Chad
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: Tracy for the Ted Williams tunnel mural. Let's put him
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: in the tunnel and knock that out. But Tracy has
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: not been beta tested in the month of October. That's
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: the problem. Chad Tracy is the perfect employee for what
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: the Red Sox want right now. He's been around the organization.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: He was in Worcester for a while, the AAA team there.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: He doesn't rock the boat. And apparently comes without the
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: luxury tax. Then I have to worry about the luxury tax.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: So he's the managerial version, the managerial version of keeping
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: the substitute teacher. Because why? Well, because those knuckleheads in
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: third period behaved for a month when the substitute teacher
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: was in. So therefore, you're happy about that. Why not?
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: And the bigger issue, though. The Red Sox deciding before
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: the playoffs even begin to lock up Chad Tracy with
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: an extension. It screams of company guy at a company
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: guy price. You understand what I'm saying? Company guy price.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: So the Red Sox are paying former manager Alex Cora,
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: I believe the number is $ 7 million or more, next year.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: He's making at least $ 7 million next year to enjoy
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: cocktails on the beach while he's wearing his banana hammock
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: and enjoying some sun in 2027. So they're selling the
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: consistency of the organization, the continuity of the organization there
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: in Boston, and Because saying that the reason you kept
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: Chad Tracy is because he'll work for a reasonable amount
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: of money and you have to get Alex Cora off
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: the books, that does not get the season ticket customers
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: very happy. They don't get too excited about that. Now, meanwhile,
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: we have more managerial news. We go to Queens, right
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: across the way, across from LaGuardia, one of the worst
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: airports I've ever been to, LaGuardia. And check it out,
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: the New York Mets meet the Mets, beat the Mets.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: The Mets have removed Andy Green's interim tag, and they
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: have signed the 49-year-old to a three-year contract. The former
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Padres manager, Green, took over for Carlos Mendoza. He gone.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: He was excommunicated from the Mets in late June, and
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: he inherited Andy Green, a Mets team that was 13
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: games under. 500. And unlike Chad Tracy in Boston, Andy
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: Green took a team buried at the bottom of the
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: National League and pretty much kept them there. The Mets,
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: they're now mediocre. The Mets have gone from bad to mediocre. Congratulations.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: That's all it takes. The bar is so freaking low
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: with the Mets. The bar is so low. How low
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: is it? It is so low that you can literally
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: just be like around 500 and you get to keep
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: the job. That's the Mets. Wonderful. The Mets are over.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: 500 since the All-Star break. Whoop-dee-damn-do. Whoop-dee-damn-do. Now, owner Steve
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: Cohen praising Andy Green for bringing, quote, discipline, accountability, and positivity.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: And said that Andy Green connected with the players. What
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: does that mean? Well, that means that the previous manager...
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Carlos Mendoza did not have discipline. There was no accountability
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: and no positivity. I believe that's what all that means.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: And so there you go. Now the question for you
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: is this. Is Andy Green for not one, not two,
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: but three years a smart consistency play for the Mets
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: or the most boring managerial hire possible? Capital B-born. So
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: this is a wild one. Everything Steve Cohen stood for,
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: this is not that. This is not that. This is
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: the big solution? I understand managers today in baseball, they're
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: not the old school managers. They just kind of follow along.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: And Andy Green is vanilla ice cream, one scoop, one
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: scoop of vanilla ice cream, no sprinkles, no hot fudge,
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: no chocolate. And it's starting to melt. That's Andy Green. Technically,
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: it's dessert. And so everyone loves dessert. Yet, it feels
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: like punishment. Like, I don't want to eat soupy vanilla.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: What is that? I don't want that. Now, Steve Cohen was...
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: someone that came in with very deep pockets, enormous financial
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: resources as the Mets owner, a Mets fanboy growing up
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: there in New York, Mr. Deep Pockets, Steve Cohen, and
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: these Metropolitans who did spend a lot of money, a
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: lot of money on players like Juan Soto and others.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: They spent like they were Manhattan real estate developers, and
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: that's great, and then they make a lazy hire. With
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: the excitement, this Andy Green, it's like replacing a regional
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: bank manager. That's exciting. No, not really. Not all that exciting.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: So the Mets, I guess they can leave Queens now.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: They can relocate to a borough of Dolesville. It's just
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: across from Staten Island, the borough of Dolesville. And so
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Green was supposed to return to player development. He said,
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: I don't want the job. I don't need the job.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: And what made him so indispensable that you had to
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: keep Andy Green? I don't get this one. So the
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: Mets essentially went down to the Village Tattoo Shop on
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: Bleeker Street, I believe it is, and then turned a
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: press-on into a permanent ink tattoo. It was just a
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: press-on tattoo. They went permanent ink, and that's it. So
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: Andy Green... Is he saying he stabilized a bad team?
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: Is that really what happened? Does anyone think the Mets
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: were stabilized here? Yeah. All right. So three-year contract. That
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: warrants a three-year contract. Being around 500 warrants a three-year contract.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: Welcome to modern Major League Baseball. Now, the Mets brass
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: are following the lay of the land. They are saying, hey,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: this is how we do things in this business today.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: And we know that Andy Green is a good, loyal minion,
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: and he will be a great middle manager. Just wonderful.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: A go-between for Poindexter and his minions in the analytical department.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: And Andy Green will just follow along. And that's that.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: It is the Ben Maler Show. If you would like
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: to follow along, 873. Also, send your questions in. Coming
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: up later this hour, the Queen of Hearts with Lorena.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: That'll be coming your way a little bit later this hour.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: We have the Riddle of the Day. Also, too much
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: or not enough. It is a bit heavy hour. We'll
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: get to all that. Time now, though, for the Maler
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: Riddle of the Day. Kirk Herbstreit says he nearly missed
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: the LSU Ole Miss kickoff after getting trapped in an
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: elevator at the 111-year-old stadium that Ole Miss plays in. Now,
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: Herbie also yelped on air after a huge blank flew
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: into the broadcast booth. Again, Kirk Herbstreit says he nearly
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: missed one of the kickoffs there at the LSU Ole
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: Miss game. He got trapped in one of those old
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: elevators at the 111-year-old stadium. That Ole Miss plays in.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: Herbie also yelped on air after a huge blank flew
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: into the broadcast booth. That is the Maller Riddle of
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: the Day. The answer. We'll get to it. We'll do
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: it next.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of the Ben Maller
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: Show weekdays at 2 a.m. Eastern, 11 p.m. Pacific on
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: Welcome to Football Doesn't Lie.
• 21:10
  Speaker 5: Hi, I'm Bill Parcells.
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: And I'm Catherine Zazzora.
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: I have a lot of experience in the game of football, Catherine.
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: And I'm learning the game with Bill's help. Every week,
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: we're going to talk about the NFL slate through the
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: lens of Bill's expertise as he coaches me from novice
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: fan to football expert over the course of the season.
• 21:28
  Speaker 5: You know, I'm looking forward to this show, Catherine, and
• 21:31
  Speaker 5: hopefully we can give our audience a little in-depth look
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: into the inner sanctum of pro football that they can't
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: get anywhere else.
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: Tune in every Thursday for unfiltered stories from Coach Parcells,
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: analysis on the state of the modern game, and education
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: on how football really works.
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: Continuity is very important. But what happens when you get
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: good coaches on your staff and people begin to recognize them,
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: then they want to hire them. And then you can't
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: stop a guy from trying to improve himself, but you
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: have to replace them.
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: Because once you understand what's going on inside the mind
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: of the coaches, you'll understand more about the whole game.
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: So all aspects can be discussed. The only thing I
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: haven't done, because I didn't have enough money, I don't
• 22:16
  Speaker 5: own the team. I never owned a team.
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: Listen to Football Doesn't Lie on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: or wherever you get your podcasts.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: The Ben Maller Show on Fox Sports Radio. As we
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: continue on, a reminder, coming up later this hour, we'll
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: have the Queen of Hearts with Lorena. So send your
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: questions in.
• 22:40
  Speaker 6: Welcome to our love shack.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: I like this.
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: Good song.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: Old song. Old school song. Say hello to Lorena and
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: all that there. Queen of Hearts. Hashtag Queen of Hearts.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: Many of you do not know how to spell that.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: I blame your teachers, and I blame you for not
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: paying attention. Bad job by you, but hashtag Queen of Hearts. Also,
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: too much or not enough. I do need a contestant. Like,
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: right now, I need a contestant. I don't have it.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: Why do I not have a contestant for too much
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: or not enough? The easiest game. All the answers are
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: too much or not enough. 877-99 on Fox. You'd like
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: to play that game. You can answer the Mallor Riddle
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: of the Day on X at Ben Mallor. Say hello
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: to Coop at Bronco Fin, all that. But again, the
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: Queen of Hearts with Lorena. Hashtag Queen of Hearts. Thank you. Well,
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: time now for the riddle of the day. Kirk Herbstreit.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: Herbie says he nearly missed the LSU Ole Miss kickoff
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: on Saturday because he got trapped in an elevator at
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: the 111-year-old Vaught-Hemingway Stadium. Where Ole Miss plays. Herbie also
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: yelped on the air after a huge blank flew into
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: the broadcast booth. So that is the Mallor riddle of
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: the day. What is the answer? Let's see. Let's go
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: to the phones. Or go to the people on X.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: Alf says an insectoid flew into the booth is the
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: answer there.
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: I see.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: All right. What else do we have? Page down. I
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: can't read that. Somebody mentioned Gumby Dave. Gumby Dave listens
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: every once in a while. Tom in Kansas City says
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: a giant inflatable hot dog and bun is the correct answer.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: What else do we have? Patrick, DJ Spin. Nice job
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: by your Padres there, Patrick. He says a Brett Favre
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: pass went there. Flying burrito from late night drug tester.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: A huge turd guessed by Eloy from Compton. Sean Portland
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: says a beach ball. A giant toupee from donkey sausage.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: Flying fish. Oh, eek in Roseville, Minnesota. Those are the
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: great flying fish on the Mississippi. I got to get
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: to that. That spot. What else do we have? Paige
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: Dan Slug. In Vegas, a giant rotten egg fart blew
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: into the booth. Well, that may have happened, Slug. You
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: know what didn't happen, Slug? The mashed potato recipe didn't happen.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: How about that?
• 25:25
  Speaker 6: Oh, you're still waiting for the Bavette's mashed potatoes?
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: Well, I don't remember the name of the place. But anyway,
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: so Slug... So anyway, Slug, he was supposed to send
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: the recipe over and he didn't. I mean, he sent something,
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: but it wasn't the actual recipe that I needed. Not
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: that I'm complaining. JT the Wingman says Tennessee Firefly. Tennessee Firefly.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: What else do we have? Pizza Papa says a huge
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: munchkin from the Wizard of Oz flew into the booth.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: By the way, Jill's announced. She's signing off, Jill. She
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: says it's all over. Turn out the lights. The party's over.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: Jill is now reporting in. that the Yankees are done.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: They're finished. They do look like they're finished. Chris is
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: going with randomly, oh, I can't read that. All right,
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: that's enough. Lorena, do you have an answer, Lorena?
• 26:16
  Speaker 6: Yes, I think a vampire bat.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: A vampire bat flew into the broadcast booth. That is incorrect.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: Although it was thought to be a bat, it turned
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: out to be a giant grasshopper. Giant grasshopper. They thought
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: it was a bat and When you get down there,
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you spend much time in the south,
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: but you get down to the south, and it's a
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: little bit like Australia. Bugs just get bigger. The critters
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: get bigger the further south you go. That's just kind
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: of how that works. Anyway, it is the Ben Mather Show.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Andrea. She is the astrology insider, and
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: there's a big day on the calendar. We both love
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: the Farmer's Almanac, and there's a big thing going on. Hello, Andrea.
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: Welcome.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: Welcome.
• 26:59
  Speaker 7: Hello, Ben. How are you?
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: If I was any better, I would be enjoying the fall.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: But I guess we all are enjoying the fall, right?
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: Isn't that how that works?
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 27:10
  Speaker 7: Yes. We have the fall equinox. Actually, yesterday at 5.05 p.m.,
• 27:16
  Speaker 7: And that's when day and night are equal, equinox equal.
• 27:21
  Speaker 7: So it begins the fall equinox. And I like this season.
• 27:25
  Speaker 7: Like you mentioned earlier, it's like baseball playoff time, football
• 27:29
  Speaker 7: season beginning, hockey season in a couple of weeks. So
• 27:33
  Speaker 7: that's kind of a nice time of year. And we
• 27:38
  Speaker 7: got the full moon. How can I forget? On Saturday.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: Oh, is that right? We got a full moon, a
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: cosmic event on Saturday. So watch out. That means we
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: get a little goofy. The Goonies come out, right? The
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: crazy folks. Everyone acts a little different around the full moon.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: And not just on the full moon, before and after.
• 27:56
  Speaker 7: Yes. In fact, I'm supposed to have a tooth extraction
• 28:01
  Speaker 7: on Saturday.
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 28:02
  Speaker 7: But I'm not sure because it can be more bleeding
• 28:04
  Speaker 7: during a full moon. So I'll see what my options are.
• 28:08
  Speaker 7: But full moons, as you said, are more intense emotionally
• 28:11
  Speaker 7: and physically. So we have the full moon on September
• 28:15
  Speaker 7: 26th on Saturday.
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 28:18
  Speaker 7: And I noted that Mercury does not retrograde until October
• 28:23
  Speaker 7: 24th to November 13th.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's just in time for the World Series.
• 28:28
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I was going to say. How about that, Ben?
• 28:30
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: Some funny stuff will happen in the fall classic.
• 28:34
  Speaker 7: Yeah, a lot of replays. And for the first time
• 28:37
  Speaker 7: in two years, Venus, planet of love and money, is
• 28:41
  Speaker 7: retrograde in Scorpio, October 3rd to November 14th. And that
• 28:46
  Speaker 7: was relationships, love, finances. So that should be interesting to
• 28:51
  Speaker 7: see what transpires then.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: All right. Very good. And all that, you're on X still, right?
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: You're still active?
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: Oh, yes.
• 29:00
  Speaker 7: And I just did my Fall Equinox newsletter. I sent
• 29:04
  Speaker 7: you and Coop a copy. So if Lorena or anyone
• 29:07
  Speaker 7: else wants one, please let me know. Or any of
• 29:10
  Speaker 7: the Malo Militia.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: All right. Very good. And if you want that, reach
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: out to our friend Andrea there. You can find her
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: on X, Virgo in Service, right? Virgo in Service. Yes, correct.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: All right. Very nice. Well, thank you, Andrea. Get to
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: the bath. Yes. It's bathtub time. All right. Extra bubbles today.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: All right. Thank you. There she goes. Our friend Andrea.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: All right. Probably add a bunch of candles around, you know.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: The salt. You got to have the whole thing. The
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: whole thing of material. jig. Just like we have when
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: we play the game. It's another Ben Maller game. We've
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: endured too many of these. Is it too much or
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: not enough? Enough already. And away we go. Too much
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: or not enough. Every week at about this time. And
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: let's welcome in our contestants. From Minnesota, we say hello.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: Representing the entire state of Minnesota. His name is Tommy,
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: and he's about to say hello. Hello, Tommy.
• 30:10
  Speaker 8: Hello, Mr.
• 30:11
  Speaker 7: Mahler.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: Are you mentally and physically prepared to play?
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: I am prepared. How are you today?
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: Well, it's a very kind question to ask how I'm doing.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: If I was any better, I'd be a Yankee, but
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: not a New York Yankee because they got props. They
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: got problems. And I would be a twin, but not
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: a Minnesota twin.
• 30:33
  Speaker 6: Because, you know.
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: We got problems.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: You got more problems. The Yankees have a problem. You
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: got more problems.
• 30:40
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: All right, well, good luck, Tommy. What do you do
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: for a living, sir?
• 30:43
  Speaker 8: You know, right now I'm cutting grass, or not right now,
• 30:46
  Speaker 8: but currently for a living I'm cutting grass at the
• 30:49
  Speaker 8: Grandview Lodge Pines Golf Course. And I'm buddies with your
• 30:53
  Speaker 8: next show that you always are hanging.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: Out with in Vegas.
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: I'll probably see you out there for the 25th.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I have been invited. I plan on trying to
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: make it there and be part of that, the Power
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: Trip guys. My pals. Yeah, very cool. So I'll see
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: you there. All right, let's go. Here we go. Question
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: number one. Number one. All you have to do is
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: get three right to win the game. Here we go, Tommy,
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: who cuts the grass. Matthew Stafford now has 150 career
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: touchdown passes as an LARM. Is that too much or
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: not enough? Too much. Tommy says too much. Let's find out.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: That is correct. 145 career touchdown passes at Ram. Only
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: Roman Gabriel has more with 154. Assuming Stafford doesn't have
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: a catastrophic injury, he will break the franchise record in
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: about five, six weeks, something like that. Give or take.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: Question number two. Zach Wheeler, that is a baseball player,
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: now has 20 10 strikeout games for the Fightin' Phils.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: Is that too much or not enough, Tommy?
• 32:08
  Speaker 8: Not enough.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: Let's find out. That is correct. You're two for two.
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: Look at you, you big stud. He has 27 10
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: strikeout games, Zach Wheeler, for the Fightin' Phils. Fifth most
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: in team history. Question number three. The sensation of Chiefs Nation,
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: Kenneth Walker, has more rushing yards this season than 15
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: NFL teams. Is that too much or not enough? Too much.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: All right, Tommy says too much. Believe it or not,
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: it's not enough. Somehow Kenneth Walker has more rushing yards
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: than 18 teams. And if I remember correctly, there did
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: not appear to be a high level of interest for
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: the services of Kenneth Walker. And he had Kansas City,
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: and I think Tennessee was interested, and that was about it.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: Turns out he apparently knows what he's doing.
• 33:04
  Speaker 7: Apparently.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're 2-1. You've got to get one more right, Tommy.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: You can do it. She's pulling for you because she
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: wants more time on her segment. So if you get
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: this one right, she's really happy. Question four. Devontae Adams
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: has 40 career games with 100-plus receiving yards and one
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: receiving touchdown. 40 of those. Is that too much or
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: not enough? Not enough. He's thinking about it. He says
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: not enough. Let's find out if that is correct. Oh, no. No,
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: he has 33 games. Remember, he took a couple years
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: off with the Raiders because you go to Vegas, you
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: hang out, you don't put up big numbers and all that.
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: He has 33, as you said. That is seven more
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: than any other active player. Mike Evans is next with 26.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: Comes down to this. Here we go, Tommy. Game seven
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: of the World Series, the final minute of the Super Bowl,
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: something you've not experienced as a Viking fan. But here's
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: the opportunity. Here we go. There have been five quarterbacks
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: to have 475-plus passing yards in a Monday night game.
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: Is that too much or not enough, Tommy? This is
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: for the win.
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: Too much.
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: He says too much. Let's find out. Is Tommy going
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: to enjoy his day as a winner and get a
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: golden ticket, or is he a big, fat loser? Survey
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: says that's a winner! Congratulations. Winner, winner, winner, golden ticket dinner.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: I've got a golden ticket.
• 34:48
  Speaker 8: Fantastic. It's my birthday on Thursday.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: Oh, well, we don't do birthday shout-outs, so we can't,
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: we can't. Well, yeah. No problem. As you know, we're
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: not a morning show. The Power Trip guys, I'm sure
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: Meat Sauce will give you a shout-out, but I can't
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: give you a shout-out. You know, I can't do that.
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I got you. All right, well, thank you. Good luck.
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: Happy birthday, Tommy. You're turning 21 again, so happy early birthday.
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: There he goes, our friend Tommy. In Minnesota, he cuts
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: the grass, and we have love. The Queen of Hearts.
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: Hashtag Queen of Hearts. Hashtag Queen of Hearts. And if
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: you'd like to send a question in for Lorena, use
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: that hashtag, Queen of Hearts. The Queen of Hearts with
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: Lorena is next.

  Speaker 1: from Freddie.
• 38:18
  Speaker 9: You know, strippers have a very special love language, right?
• 38:22
  Speaker 9: You know, when they shake things in front of you,
• 38:23
  Speaker 9: it almost says touch me, but they really don't mean it.
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like going to a steakhouse and watching the

• 38:32
  Speaker 1: can look at it and, well, what good is that?
• 38:34
  Speaker 9: Although I do know a couple of people who have
• 38:36
  Speaker 9: housewifed some strippers, so you never know.
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: Well, that's always the... Is that the dream, like the

  Speaker 1: Ferg Dogg writes in, says, I'm burned out on online dating,
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: Fergie says. Do you think posting a flyer around town
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: saying what kind of woman I'm looking for will work?
• 39:19
  Speaker 6: Honestly, I think that's a great idea. Go back in time.
• 39:23
  Speaker 6: Find different ways to find people. I really like that idea.
• 39:26
  Speaker 6: It's almost like a dog flyer.
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: If that doesn't work, for a dog, what you should
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: do is in the bathroom, right on the bathroom wall.
• 39:34
  Speaker 6: I almost want to try that. Should we do that
• 39:35
  Speaker 6: around L.A.? I can go put up little posters.

  Speaker 3: and ask his wife and Jack and Megan, one weird couple.
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: Why am I married and why can't I find the
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: right girl? I thought it was Tammy Montana, but she
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: sent me a beautiful gift, a Randy Moss jersey, purple
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: and gold.
• 40:20
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, gifts don't always mean that they're in
• 40:22
  Speaker 6: love with you. And just because.
• 40:24
  Speaker 9: You're a strappingly handsome man also doesn't mean that you
• 40:27
  Speaker 9: deserve love. What are you like in relationships? Are you
• 40:30
  Speaker 9: a gift giver yourself or do you just expect to
• 40:33
  Speaker 9: receive gifts? Are you a cuddler? Or do you completely
• 40:36
  Speaker 9: ignore your partner when you're actually in a relationship?
• 40:39
  Speaker 6: These are all things you've got to think about for
• 40:40
  Speaker 6: why you might be single. Do you smell bad?
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: Open the door for a woman. Treat her like a lady.
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: Roll out the red carpet.
• 40:47
  Speaker 6: Oh, look at you.
• 40:48

• 40:51
  Speaker 1: is shower day, correct?

  Speaker 3: I shower every Wednesday because I got an A meeting
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: I go to early in the morning.
• 40:57
  Speaker 7: Come on.
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: What woman wouldn't want a man like that? Come on now.
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: So attractive. All right. Real quick. The Malheur Show quote-unquote says,
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: a single rose too much or not enough to give
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: a female on the first date?
• 41:07
