And why is former Saints quarterback Derek Carr? Not drawing any real interest on the NFL trading market.
And as we are now past the combine. Also, we'll go to baseball. Which player makes a bigger impact? Toss-up question. In the upcoming baseball season, who goes to Kansas City or Alex Verdugo, who joined the Padres, goes to San Diego, also former MLB players, ranting about the lack of regulars at a Dodger spring training game in their lineup. How big a deal is this? Honestly. We'll talk about that as well as it's wide spread around baseball. Number of teams not sending out big league players in these spring training games. We'll get to all that and more right now. Here it is. Our number three. A real life clunker that nobody apparently wants right now. Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mallor Show. We are in the air. Every where.
As we shoot the crap. And we give you the rough edge of the tongue. Watch out, coast to coast, border to border and beyond on the vast and astronomically powerful.

Investing involves risk for more risk. A follow up follow up to the Jalopy. In the Bayou. The Jalopy in the Bayou. The retirement villa. We go to the retirement villa. Former Saints and Raiders quarterback. Derek Carr. Yes, that Derek Carr. Well, he said early this month on a podcast that friends and family listen to. A car said early this month that he would end his retirement to play a car.
So surely 17 Super Bowl contenders have lined up unless you just say don't call me surely. Yeah, if you've not been following crickets, they don't even want car. Not even crickets. Yeah, so reports over the weekend say that New Orleans has yet to have a single team show any interest in Derek Carr. He is currently property of the three draft pick. Conditional draft pick in return. So that's a good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question. Why, why is former Saints quarterback Derek Carr not drawing any real interest on the NFL auctioning block as we are now past the combine and the next big event up are the pro days followed by the NFL draft. So I've got DMV, and we will combine all of these things together and we are going to put the biscuit in the basket is what we're going to do.
So first of all, Derek Carr, it is fair to say and this is not outrageous. This is accurate. That Derek Carr, if you look at where he's at right now, he is not playing a. He's not even playing B. He's not playing C. Derek Carr is that nothing else works. If nothing else is out there, all right, we'll give Derek Carr a shot. But here's the reality. Derek Carr, at this point, he's definitely not the first phone call. He's the, hey, you up, drunk text at 217 in the morning. You know what I'm saying? That's like, hey, you up. What are you doing? He's the quarterback equivalent and he tells the mom, can I get my favorite breakfast cereal? Sure, no problem. Go to the store, picks up the generic brand cereal from the bottom shelf
that the expiration date is expired because no one buys it and it's a Super Bowl crunch. Not Captain Crunch, it's Super Bowl crunch which is as close to a Super Bowl as Derek Carr will get. It tastes like cardboard which is appropriate and it should taste like cardboard in the early stages of what's going to be an epic late-march game of musical chairs. If you want a vermin-infested suck bag quarterback, this is your wet dream. Whether it's Kirk Cousins or Derek Carr or Tua Tunga by Loa, Kyler Murray, all these guys, JJ McCarthy, they're all available. He's online at the DMV. He got the ticket at the counter at the DMV. They got the electrical board up there. His ticket is B-77. Now the blinking board. If you look up to the right at the blinking board at the DMV,
it says now serving A-12. He's parked. He's absolutely parked. And here's the dirty little secret. His resume looks a lot better from 30,000 feet looking down than it does up close. When you zoom in and you look at that pro football reference page, it reads like a medical chart pre-existing condition here, pre-existing condition there. Now what is the pre-existing condition for Derek Carr? He has chronic, uncurable, mediocrity. That's what he has. And the numbers sometimes don't look good. And that's Derek Carr. Nice guy, clean yard, and nice to everybody, but just not very good. Not terrible, but just not very good. Not very good. All right, now secondly,
I want to pivot to baseball. We had a couple of moves over the weekend. Random baseball players finding new teams. Random baseball players finding new teams. Former Red Sock outfielder, Alex Verdugo, who has agreed to a minor league contract with the Padres, and former Mets and Pirates among others outfielder, Starling Marte, who's headed to the Royals. So toss up question. All right, toss up question. Which player, if any, will make a bigger impact on the 2026 MLB season, in Diego? So if you're keeping it real, and we believe in keeping it real here, both these guys were signed for TF trade fodder, trade fodder. That is the reality of the situation. So if I had to pick one and knife to your throat, gun to your head, that kind of thing, they're both pre-packaged trade meat
at the sitting and the refrigerated aisle there and waiting for a contender, who's hungry, at the July trade deadline, late July trade deadline, to say, hey, why don't we send you something? Something not that great, but we want that player. So I'm looking at the the flight path and looking at the jet stream here, and the arrow on who is going to make a bigger impact, is pointing towards Starling Marta. Now he is older. He's in his late 30s, so he's a little bit older than Alex Verdugo. He's the guy that's in the year-to-year twilight zone at this point. It's like, well, how year-to-year, regardless of that. Marta has been on the spectrum of greatness. The success cupcake at the bakery.
He hasn't just seen the success cupcake at the bakery. He has also licked the cream cheese frosting right off that cupcake. And then he wanted more. And they said, well, we can't give you anymore, but we'll give it a little taste, and that's all that's fine. But Marta, I like the way Starling Marta plays. I like the way that he plays there, and I like it. Now, when you look at Alex Verdugo, wow. What is Alex Verdugo? So Alex Verdugo, if Starling Marta is the jagged edge that plays with a little bit of moxie, a little bit of moxie, like my dog, then Alex Verdugo is an item from Hormel Foods. He is can spam it at this point. Fail as the Dodger's top suspect. Oh, I don't know. Fail. The Dodgers were able to
convince the idiots in Boston to take him as the centerpiece of the mookie-betch trade. Holy crap. Was that horrific? Yeah. So he, but he was the Dodgers can't miss prospect. A prospect is a suspect and to prove otherwise was traded as the centerpiece for mookie-betch to the red red star-fied roster filler played with the Yankees briefly was in Atlanta last year kind of. And you open up that tin that's got the name Verdugo on it. And you open up that tin. It's salty. It's processed and it lacks that five star flavor. It's just not a lot there. So I give the edge to Stoling Marta and both those guys, I would think, though, and repackaged when we get to the late July trade deadline. But again, I pick one I'll take I'll take Charlie Marte over over redo go, I don't think and I play that much for the braves last year.
I don't think he hit a home run last year. Not that that means much, but thought I'd throw that out there. All right. Now, final thought staying with baseball, talking bays ball and Randy Johnson, not that Randy Johnson. Believe it or not, there's more than one person in Randy Johnson. So this was a guy that played in Major League Baseball, not the big unit, the guy that played way back in like the 80s. So long time ago, retired infielder guy played over a thousand games, I think it was a lot more, maybe over 1500 games. And one of these guys that you don't really remember, even if you were around and you were a big baseball fan, you don't really remember the guy, but his name is Randy Johnson. And so he went viral over the weekend because a lot of people thought it was the other Randy Johnson. But that aside, he was pointing out this Randy Johnson, the former baseball infielder ripping the Dodgers spring training lineup against the Giants, he said, quote, went to Dodgers at Giants spring training game, cheapest ticket was $70 for general admission.
And the Dodgers didn't have one regular position player in the lineup. And he said, that's not supposed to happen MLB. Johnson was supported by a gaggle of other washed up former Major League Baseball players. However, he was getting zonked by the Dodger fans and bots and everyone that took the red pill. They just, yeah. Anyway. So the question, former MLB player. And this is, yeah, Randy Johnson, but it's just a bunch of MLB players from back in the old days. MLB players ranting about the lack of regulars in the spring training line, but it's not just the Dodgers. The Dodgers do it, but a lot of them are not doing it where they're playing their regular players. So how big a deal is this? Honestly. All right. So I'm with the old dudes on this one. I'm with the old guys on this. I think it is bush league. I think it is bush league. You charge fans. If they were charging what they used to charge for spring training, I'd be like, OK, you
know, dude, it's a spring training game. You're paying eight bucks to get in. Who the F cares? But you're charging $70. I think the Yankee game, I read one of the Yankee spring training games is over $150 for a Yankee spring training game. That's the cheapest ticket. So you're charging the full Monty if you're major league baseball and you're putting a bunch of slop out there from the low minor leagues. That is a lugee to the face. That is a big, thick lugee right to the face. And there are rules. You're supposed to have three regulars in the lineup. That's been around since I covered spring training in Florida years ago. That's been the rule. Not three interns, not three bat boys, not three people that want to raffle that are fans. You have to have three regulars in the lineup. Now this always happens when teams travel in the grapefruit league and the cactus league. And there's nothing the star players despise more in spring training than having to get on a bus and travel to a spring training game. So now we are told that major league baseball, they waived that rule for 2026 because of
the world baseball classic out of an abundance of caution. They are, they of course have not enforced that rule for some time. They haven't enforced that rule for some time. And my issue is this, like if you're going to do that, okay, so you're not putting anything close to a major league product out there. So why are you screwing over the fence? Just lower the ticket price. We can't do that. Why not? You can do it. Trust me. You can lower the ticket prices. And the thing also that always drives me nuts is the fanboys, right? The fanboys out there who not along like train seals with whatever happens, right? They're train seals at the aquarium. And we agree. You shouldn't have to play your star players in spring training. You shouldn't have to do it and all that stuff. And it's essentially baseball is like, hey, we're going to price gouge our fans with like in Vegas, they have the processing fee, the convenience fee, the parking fee. And in baseball, they have your favorite player is golfing fee.
Or your favorite player is flutsing around with the world baseball classic. And I just love some of the names. And that might not give you all the names, but some of the names that popped up out of the blue. Old dude, these names are great names that were piling on major league baseball. My favorite was the man that was the star of the greatest Tommy, the sort of rant of all time, the old Dodgers manager, Kurt Bavakwa. Bavakwa was not a very good baseball player, played for the Padres, much of other teams. He was a journeyman player, but Bavakwa, he couldn't hit water, he fell out of a freaking boat. Such a great rant. The Dodgers were playing the Padres million years ago. They got into a like a bean ball thing back and forth. And then Bavakwa called the sort of fat, fat, fat little Italian. And then one of the writers went up to the sort of and say, Tommy, he called you fat little of the, and he said, well, you don't call me that. And then he just went on his epic rant. It was so great. Oh, so good.
Awesome. Anyway, Bavakwa, Bavakwa, he starts barking about driving at 6 a.m. from Tampa to Coco Beach. And obviously it's a different era. And they probably played instead of just having regular tape on their ankles. They had like duct tape on their ankles. But this is again another thing where it's a lowering the standards, major league baseball, lowering the standards. And so you're coddling. It's the comfort culture. And the thing that's changed is the large percentage of fans are so idiotic, they're so stupid that they just accept it. And it's like, it's a worse product. And it's okay. We'll charge more for a lesser product, which is really the goal of so many people. You water stuff down and people pay for it. And then that's that. And the idiots are so stupid. They don't even realize what they're doing. And that's the hustle. All right. It is the Ben Mallor Show as we press on got a bunch of legends lined up.
We'll take some of these calls here at 877 99 on Fox. 877 9966369 time now, though, for the Mallor Riddle of the day. And here's the Mallor Riddle of the day. You can answer this on X at Ben Mallor. So that's at Ben Mallor Show a darts star. I don't know if that's even a thing, but somebody who's apparently very well known in darts recently blamed the quality of blank as the reason why they lost a game to a darting legend. A darts star recently blamed the quality of blank as to why this person lost a game of darting to a another darting legend. That is the Mallor Riddle of the day. The answer. We'll get to it and we will do it next. However, it is the A block and what hour is it? Let's find out. Number three. Ha ha ha.

Two active players giving a real look at our lives and what we actually think on and off the board. Nothing's off lift. We talk trade requests. What's the vibe of that when it's like your star players like, well, I want to leave and then actually now I'm going to stick. We talk tanking. I mean, honestly, like, I might get in trouble for this answer, but I think it's like definitely happening in the WBA. And yeah, we talked about our mistakes, too. They pulled me to the side and was like, hey, man, we got a call last night, and you can't be rolling around the city like this tonight for games, no, you know, doing this, doing whatever.

We are predictably unpredictable sleepers. We're talking about why sleep works the way it does, why our bodies don't follow neat rules, and why modern life makes rest so hard to come by.

It's at Bane Mallor, you can say hello to Lorena, the FSR tech queen. Hi, Bill. Don't talk to me and in the producer share Brandon and he's on X, so he doesn't use it much. He says BSD takes, he's all about the tick talk back to it. We go, we do do the hustle and we have to pay off the answer to the Mallor riddle of the day. And here is the Mallor riddle of the day. And here we go, a Darts star, if there is such a thing, recently blamed the quality of blank for the reason he lost a game to darting, to a darting legend. So that's a lot of dark stuff, a lot of dark stuff.
All right. Now, let's go to it. Let's see. Does anyone know the answer? courtesy flusher says their trip to Vegas with me is the answer. goat man says the quality toilet paper, quality of the toilet paper, Luke the vending guy says the quality of the waitresses curve, shall we say? What else do we have? Page down, we want to read that one, King Roy said the odurbs, the juicy, dill pickle stuffed meatballs, that's disgusting. Donkey sausage, like said, they blame bad poutine and as the answer, Bobby and Ford also went with poor quality toilet paper. Lady sideburns. My favorite lady says crab deer, I mean, yeah, I can't even say what he said. We have a Tammy and Vegas says the quality of beer on hand, the quality of beer on hand, our friend Tammy and Vegas, Fergdog says the quality of life in the 909.
He said these seven, one, four rules from, from Fergdog, little hot area code talk, a cat nap, bad job by me. Al, if you're not allowed to sleep during the show, far out Dave and Ohio says fluorescent flexible, fired up, fingertiping, fire water, sipping flamingos from far out, yeah, whatever he said. That's pretty good. Yeah, Andy and Lionel Lake says the riddle of the day, they blame the quality of the beer for the bad dark thing, quality of the hookers from trucker Joe got to have a fall guy. Love a good hooker. Desert fertilizer from JT, the wingman, Christopher said carrot muffin is the answer, a Guinness stout ale was guessed by Eek and Roseville, Minnesota quality of the food in the concessions. The reason they lost some gunner at the Walmart there in Minnesota, Austin says the quality of the lighting in the basement where the tournament took place.
That is the reason. All right. Lorraine, do you have an edge? It's not the quality of the cork on the dart board. That was guessed by Rebecca or the shuttlecock feathers from Mike, the leprecha. Yeah, it's got to be the quality of his top ramen. Top ramen like Marcel and Brooklyn, is it top ramen? Is that the end? No. No, apparently the reason that this guy lost was because of the soap. He blamed the soap as the reason he lost. What? Did he drop it? What's up with that? Yeah, so this guy, Josh Rock, a top 10 player in the world, and he lost somewhat recently to Michael van Gerwin and he blamed hand soap. Uh-huh. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He said, I went to the toilet just before I went on stage and obviously wash your hands after going to the toilet. So I put the soap all over my hands in the next minute and I'm up there. And I was like, this is not going to go well.
But why didn't he just wash the soap off? Kind of bullcrap. That is bullcrap. You know, in my life, darts have gotten a lot worse in my life. What happened when men were men that played darts? What's up with that? All right, let's go to the phones. Let's say a load of Andrea. This might be related to the full moon experience and she's our astrology insider and she's got all the astrology information that you need. Yes. It is related to the full moon. Yeah, it's all cosmic, all of it. Yes, how are you, Ben? If I was any better, I would be sleeping. But I'm not. No, I'm happy to be here. Yes. Wonderful. And listen, great weekend. You're back at it here. Yes. And we're still feeling the lingering effects. I look nice. I was driving and I looked at the moon. It's still pretty big. Still pretty large. Yes. Actually, we've got a full moon. The moon or eclipse on Tuesday, the 3rd of February at 3 o'clock of March.
March. Yeah, yeah, March. So that's tomorrow. Tomorrow. I understand. So tomorrow, that is it. So that's a full now. What do we need to know about this here? So this is a full Monty here. Yes. Well, you know how much we like the farmers. All monocles. Yes. Yes. It's wonderful. Without AI, without all the technology, they had everything nailed back in the day, back in the 1700s, 1800s. That's it. The classic. Yes. So I sent that on your Twitter ex-feed about the full moon lunar eclipse. And it's called a full blood moon and a full warm moon. And the interesting thing, blood is because it looks very reddish orange when the eclipse occurs. It's very unusual occurrence. So that's why the color is there. The farmers, Almanac, said the warm moon because earthworms start coming out of the earth in March, because the weather starts warming up and we move towards spring March 20th, 21st.
So it's a full moon lunar eclipse in Virgo. So that said, Virgos will feel it more acutely and pices since the sun is in Pisces. So full moons are more intense emotionally. And you know what I always say? It's like a cold. You feel it two days before, the day of and two days after. Yeah, for sure. For sure. So there's definitely a lingering effect for sure. Yes. So we're definitely in orb of the full moon. And it will be full March 3rd at 3.32 a.m., so you can look up in the sky. You don't need any special equipment. I did a little research. There's a Shiboh lab in the Oakland Hills is going to have a watch party. So that's why I wanted to put it a call tonight. Oh, you can be out there, huh? I might show you the watch. Yeah, you're going to go out there. All right. Yeah. So late. Well, not from me. No. Exactly. You can do the pre-game. You can give us a report. See how many people are out there. But I understand.
Well, you should go out there. Enjoy yourself. Yeah. I'm going to see if I decide. I'll have to see. Yeah. Get out there. I'm deciding for you. Get out there and do it. You know, you go out there. I can't think of a more fun thing for you. You love the stars, cosmic events, right? This is right. It's right at your home so you can get and see everything is perfect. Yeah. And the transportation is a little challenging. Some of it stops running at a certain time. OK. But there are those waymo's where you are right across the way there. And you might want to lose. Yeah, I'll figure it out. It's just perfect timing. They keep saying, wow, it's the middle of the night. It's like, oh, those are normal hours for me and Ben. It's like, you know, just go out and look at it in the sky. So you can see it wherever you are. And I think the weather will cooperate as well. So again, it's an emotional more time and Virgo and Pisces feel at most intensely. And full moves are culminations. So it's a time of new beginnings and culminations. So make those wishless and put out some good energy
and good intentions and revel in all her glory because it's going to be kind of shades of red around three in the morning. And it goes on till about 4.30 in the morning. Wow. OK. Well, that's good. I will get a nice show tomorrow. We look forward to that. And you let us know about that. I would not have known if you would not talk about the full moon. Yeah. From one to five is the ideal time to go out in the sky and look. OK. Very good. Well, thank you, Andrea. Enjoy your watch party. Hopefully you show up to that. Yes. That'd be nice. I'll see if the planet can cooperate for that one. All right. Thank you so much. There she goes. The Virgo Insurgent YouTube, a Virgo in service on X. And if you want to get cosmic info from our astrology insider and every show needs one, every show needs one, we got one. Let's say hello to hollering James, who's in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

James, James, James, James, James, James, James, James, James, James. Oh, that was a big one. That was a big wet one.
Oh, yeah. That's great. James, James, this is where he stops breathing for like 20 seconds. This is called sleep apnea. Let's see here. I'll start breathing. Oh, there it is. There it is. Keeps you ready to your toes. Yeah. Oh, the drama of a hollering James phone call so much better than him asking me about Tommy Kramer in the 1987 Vikings. It's so great. James, I'll let you snore one more time. Come on. Put your own hole. James, James, James, James, oh, it's a long pause. Oh, there it is. Oh, thank God. He's alive. Stressin' me out. Yeah, let's say hello to Christopher who's up next. Hello, Christopher. Welcome. It is the Bane Mallow Show. We are a few minutes away from the Insta advice line, unscreened radio. What's going on, Christopher? Well, Mr. Mallow, here we are in London. Oh, my God. I didn't realize you were in London.
Boy, this can be expensive phone call. Well, that's OK. It's only I just continue to add it onto my computer. Oh, I'm sorry about that. You're going to let me know when they're in London, Brandon. That's a long distance phone call, man. That's OK. That's no problem, Mr. Mallow. We've been talking for so many years. Now, here's a unique thing. If you truly want to be a caller of the year and we just have the football combines, we need to have the mallet combines. So if you can't sleep like Collar and James, then you can't be considered a caller of the year. Because really, if you think about it, the man can't breathe half the time. And when he gets on the phone, you can't understand in the other half. But my point is this, Mr. Mallow. Now that I know the bennies are coming up, and we have problems getting access to X and the social media here in Britain because they kind of watch what you talk about. I know. Yeah, they censor you. They've arrested people. How crazy is that? What? Yeah, they arrest you and you're in. You're very, very. In England, if you say the wrong thing, they will arrest you. Oh my gosh, I had no idea. What a backwards world.
Oh, no, no, holy crap. What a nightmare. Extremely monitored. And in my industry of IT, if I'm not careful about what I published, post, or deal with, I can be arrested. But the point is, Mr. Mallow, I am trying to add to my calendar the bench. Because I haven't missed it in my entire. OK, all right. 19 years of listening to you. You can give me a rough idea when the bennies are coming up. Yeah, so we have a tentative, I think we have a tentative date here. I'm going to my calendar now. I'm pulling out the phone here. I'm going to go and look at my calendar here. I believe we were looking at, I think the 15th into the 16th, I believe, 15th into the 16th. That'll be the bennies. I believe we're doing it. Which is a couple weeks, yeah, we're closing in on there. A couple weeks away. Biggest night in radio. Greatest overnight award show in all of talk radio. The bennie awards. And I got to tell you, international caller, there's not many left. No, no, no, no, no, no, I don't need any more. I don't need any more monitoring by the government.
Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Mallow. I want to end the call this way in the entire time of listening to Fox Fox Sports Radio. What's most interesting is the daytime staff for paid millions. And Mr. Mallow works is off for 20 years. But she's, I just listened to some of the advertisements. I don't know who the heck is on the show anymore. Because every other show is different except Mr. Mallow. But I don't understand. Well, the shows have changed here. It's rather, yeah, move. We've changed the lineup multiple times since I started here. But that's fine. That's happened. Guys, see the point, though, is who stays around the most? The midnight staff. The one that cares about the people the most. The midnight staff. That's right. That's why I have to continue to say we need to get an award for Mr. Mallow. That's right. As it relates to what you've done for Fox Sports Radio. I remember the day. Exactly. When all of a sudden we had to worry about Mr. Mallow getting his contract you knew every year. But now they did it with fans more than one year renewal. Mr. Mallow, thank you. All right. Thank you. Thank you. Appreciate that. Wow. Legally blind Christopher in London.
There was a yearly ritual. Would my contract be picked up or not? We've moved on from that now. We've got the multi-year situations usually when I negotiate my contract now, which is nice. I guess so there is that. But I'm going to get on a TikTok like Brandon. So I don't need, you know, blow this popsicle stand. Money. I'm doing good. I'm getting out there. How long your takes, Brandon? On average. On to, yeah, like a little over a minute. Oh, dude. Come on. You nail it, right? One minute. It's perfect. Yeah. Now you want camera or do you just do like a video of that? You have to be on camera. You have to be on camera. Well, you can get in trouble if you're not on camera. So if you like post highlights instead of your face, they can get you for, you know, NFL copy right infringement. But if you're, as long as you're on camera there, you're okay. Yeah. That's interesting. That sounds like you might need a lawyer. Well, try to avoid needing a lawyer, but they do a minor. That's fine. That's fine. But they just, they ding your account. You could make money or something like that, right?
If you. Yeah. That's what happens. They'll ban your monetization, which is really the only reason you're there, right? You're not really there because you love TikTok, you're there because you want to make money, right? I'm there because I love TikTok. That's a lot. You're giving me a secondary. Yeah. Yeah. Your, your nose is growing. That's fine. I mean, that's okay. You know, I have to say that. I, I hear you. I got, I want like X, but I rarely go on there during the day because people are really annoying and they're rude. And I don't know how many people are real and fake and all that. So I just, I just stay away from it, and I go on there at night during the show when my people are on there. Speaking of my people, we are going to have, we are moments away here from one of the great bits that we do on this show. It's unscreen radio. So if you're on hold, hang up. We'll get back to you, call back in a little bit. It's the Insta advice line. Unscreened radio, who needs our advice? We will get to that.
