For Aaron, Judge, and Bryce Harper to be punching bags because team USA lost to a Italian team with a bunch of nobody's. And the jets are picking up Geno Smith from the Raiders. What is your instinct here and what message are the jets sending their fan base by adding Geno Smith as the quarterback. He broke into the NFL with the jets and did nothing. And now they brought him back after he's done nothing in Seattle in Las Vegas. We'll get to that and much more right now. Here it is our number three.

Now that's a spicy meatball. Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mallor Show. As we are in the air everywhere alongside as we are where the fun never ends. It just goes on and on and on and on coast to coast. Sported a border in and beyond on the vast and considerably powerful. Microphones of FSR emanating live from the seat. Now as we are backseat driving from the world famous Fox Sports Radio Studios where Ed and Christina from Spokane they're daytime listeners now and big fans of the show from back in the day.

So our lead this hour

is from baseball. What? Why are you not talking about the BAM out of bio. I am happy though the BAM out of bio stuff I thought a bunch of people would call up we're on in Miami. I thought a bunch of people would call up and scream and shout and yell they either don't care they're just numb or they agree with me which I'm happy about I'm happy about that's a good sign that's a good sign. All right. So lead this hour is from the WBC better known as the World Baseball Classic Upset City in Houston Did you see any of this action? No. Why were you not watching this? My right hand was getting a work out of SIPC So perhaps you missed it. Team USA fell behind five nothing tremendous defense tremendous defense by team USA there. Who goofed I've got to know they fell behind five nothing came back in the game

but in the end they lose team Italy in the World Baseball Classic pool finale. Now there's deal a chance not much that they will advance not looking that great. The Italians one eight to six despite a late comeback effort by the team representing America Now this is a significant body blow, body blow to team USA that is loaded with position players Aaron Judge El Capitane Aaron Judge Bryce Harper, Bobby Whit Jr The Schwar bombing run Schwarber, Kyle Schwarber and others. There's other big names out there but those are some of the biggest names in the game and they did have a three-in-oh record heading into the game against Italy Italy had been two-in-oh record. That's why they play

they played games. That's why they play the games. So, the people taking the brunt of the heat are Aaron Judge and Bryce Harper. They're getting absolutely killed over here, they're getting char broiled, Harper and Aaron Judge. They both had opportunities to make something happen magical late in the game both screwed it up. So that's a good jumping off point. Let us discuss. These are two of the biggest stars in baseball. Both have a lot of awards and VPs and things along those lines. So the question is this, is it fair or foul? Is it fair or foul for Aaron judge and Bryce Harper to be punching bags because team USA lost to the Italians. So I've got my view on this. I've got Stanley plastic straw and postcard and we will combine all of these things together

and we're going to drop a brand new album. Another new album this, we're going to drop a new album and you're going to love it. It's going to be just amazing, just amazing. All right. So first of all, we went to a booth review and we determined Fairball. Fairball. All right. So it didn't hit the line. Fairball. It was it was inside the line. I even hit the line. It's fair. It's absolutely fair and here's why. The marketing department has hyped this thing up. Like it's the World Series and everyone's got to watch it. If you treat this like the World Series, which Major League Baseball's marketing people have done. This is their baby. They're very proud of themselves and so they've been promoting this and it matters. You had Kike Hernandez. It's bigger than the World Series. Even though he's not playing in it, it's bigger than the World Series. Okay. Okay. I got it. So if you're going to sell it like that and that's what you've chosen to do, you've sold it like

that. Guess what? Spoiler alert. Spoiler alert. If the stars do not get it done, they get tomatoes from the upper balcony. The show's not good. The tomatoes come raining down. That's how this works here. Now the Italian lineup, there's a couple of guys I've heard of and then as Dennis Echersley said back in the day, a hodgepodge of nothingness, a hodgepodge of nothingness filling out the rest of the roster. A lot of floss them and get some. And so yeah, Aaron Judge and Bryce Harper, Harper had a chance in the eighth Aaron Judge in the ninth and they did not get it done and they're getting killed and they should. You follow the wisdom of Stanley comic book legend Stanley with great power comes great responsibility. And these guys did not get her done. When you go out there and you get the red, white and blue cape and you don't get to wear the cape and then cry.

When people expect you to be Superman, that's the dealio and you got to get it done. And Aaron Judge swung through the final out like a guy trying to swat a mosquito with a piece of uncooked spaghetti. That was it. And his reputation is not one of a big game performer. Does anyone disagree that Bryce that that that Aaron judge Aaron judge is not a guy that rises to the occasion. That whole all rise for the judge Aaron judge doesn't really work. His reputation is that of a museum exhibit in the regular season. He is Picasso. Right. And then in the post season, he's like your five year olds finger painting that you have to put up on the wall because your kid made it even know it's disgusting and ugly, but you have to put up a wall because your kid did it. And so that's

the art. It's finger finger painting art. And that's Aaron judge and a nutshell. He made it to one world series with the Yankees batted 222 222. What is the defining moment of Aaron judge's professional baseball career? That's right. Butchering a ball in center field in the greatest fifth ending of my lifetime at Yankee Stadium. As the Yankees trying to stay alive against the Dodgers in the world series, he absolutely putchered a ball in center field. And that's the captain of the Yankees right there. That's Aaron judge. And that helped fuel the Dodger come back in that world series. And in this game in the ninth inning, as we said, so wing and a miss, so wing and a miss down goes judge. And then you got Bryce Harper, who's not exactly George Washington crossing the Delaware either and got called out by Dave Dom Browski, who said Harper is no longer elite. Harper got very upset. The Browski had to then clarify the comment, well, Bryce Harper has gone

out in the World Baseball Classic and he's batting 200. Now I didn't play for a professional baseball. I don't think that's good. Oh, you're such a boomer with you little batter. Yeah, Rich, okay. Well, he had an opportunity there. Harper in the eighth inning, I believe he was pinching in this game came in there and popped out like like a wet firecracker tying run on base time runs were on base and the pressure cooker. And he didn't get it done. I didn't get it done. So pressure creates truth and Aaron judge and Bryce Harper not looking so good, not looking so good adding to the legend in the wrong way in the wrong way. All right. Now secondly to the NFL, we have a trade, not a good one, not a good one, but a trade involving a quarterback. The rumor of yesterday has turned into reality as the Jets have a quarterback. Who? Geno Smith. Yeah. Yeah, the Raiders had to pay a lot of money to get rid of Geno Smith and had to give a draft pickup

got a draft pick in return. It was all low level stuff. But Geno Smith is going back to the team that drafted him. The J ETS suck, suck, suck. So the question, the Jets picking up Geno Smith from the Raiders, what is your instinct here? What's your instinct on Geno Smith going back to the Jets? I'm glad you asked. So after a minutes long, mal or investigation and deliberation, we have a theory, right? We have a theory that the metal man's complex there where the giants and Jets play is now officially a super fund site. You know what a super fun site is? Yeah, it's been contaminated by hazardous material for so many years. How many years? Let's go back 20 years or so. For the better part of almost 20 years, it's just been garbage. And so it has been designated by the federal government for cleanup. The final blow was Geno Smith joining the Jets. That was the final blow. Geno Smith, that trade sponsored by the title sponsor,

that trade was waste management. What a waste. An absolute waste. It's a disgrace. Now the black market of trash quarterbacks is booming. And the Jets every year are the top customer. Every year, it's it's the same recycled trash on the NFL underground. By the way, Kurt Cousins is still on the black market. If you want, Kurt, he didn't go to the Jets. He's still out there. If you want him, he's washed up. Can't play with Carson Wentz. He sounds like he's going to be joining the Jets also. But right now we're going to focus on Geno Smith. So think about this. Geno is entering year 13. Geno Smith is fully vested in the NFL pension program heading into year 13. A guy who has proven both mathematically, emotionally and physically that he's not cut out to be a top level quarterback. He is below average. Any way you slice the cake below average. And yet he is hung around the NFL for over a decade over a decade, like a bad smell that won't go away in the back of

trucker Joe's big rig from all that recycled plastic. And he just can't get rid of it. You have to wash it and you have to wash it again. That's Geno Smith. That's Geno Smith. Now if you own the Jets, you own the Jets, Geno Smith, true or false, Geno Smith should have been on the TSA no fly list. That you just can't go there. That he's not very good. So it's not like you're going to get him because he's going to make you a winning team. He's a loser. That's who Geno Smith is. And you had a front row seat. Yeah. Maybe you were so old. You forget. But you had a front row seat to the reign of terror of Geno Smith as a Jets quarterback. You saw the abject failure. And that tour has continued across the NFL. And you brought that back. You said, you know what? We want that. That's what you did. You brought it back there. The highlight reel of Geno Smith is the first run is legendary. You remember some of the great hits that Geno Smith had

years ago when he broke into the NFL out of West Virginia. This is the guy who showed up late to team meetings when the Jets were playing. There used to be a team in call in San Diego, believe it or not. The NFL had a team in San Diego. Can you believe that? They were called the chargers. They had a big fan base. People loved them. Man, that was like a hundred years ago. Anyway, Geno Smith and the Jets were playing in San Diego. And Geno didn't show up to the the meeting. He went to see a movie and said people say, well, Geno, why did you do that? He said, I didn't realize there was a the time zones. He thought he thought the time zones didn't didn't exist or he didn't know how they worked and all that stuff. And so he missed meetings because he didn't understand time zones. Keep in mind that kids learn time zones in the fourth grade. So that wouldn't mean I guess Geno has less than a fourth grade education if he doesn't know time zone. But it gets even better. Don't forget the locker room sanctity, the leadership of Geno Smith. What a leader this guy is. Such a great leader, such a schmuck that he was Molly

Wopt. Molly Wopt by his own teammate. One of his teammates shattered his jaw in the Jets facility in flooring park shattered jaw inside job friendly fire friendly fire. And so Geno spent several months eating through a plastic straw, which is the perfect metaphor for his time in a Jets uniform. And they brought him back. Then he goes to Seattle. Another great moment for Geno Smith. He went out to Seattle. They beat the Broncos his first game taking over as the starter after the Russell Wilson trade and then did a celebration for the ages. He was so happy. Oh my guy was so happy. Puffed his chest out there after his first game with the Seattle Seahawks acting like he was the second coming. And then he had to play other games and turned out to be perfectly mediocre. Despite no Stardinas having a fat head of Geno Smith on his bedroom wall. It didn't matter.

It didn't matter. And so the Seahawks got a lot of empty calories, empty stats out of Geno Smith and then shipped them off to Las Vegas. Then he went to Vegas, got paid a bunch of money. And the Raiders ended up being so bad. They were single season in Raider history for a quarterback Geno Smith considering the amount of money he got paid. And now the traveling circus is going back to the Jets. All right. Now speaking of that, the final thought here, keeping the beat going. So the question, what message, if any, what message, if any are the Jets sending their fan base by adding Geno Smith. So New York, what they're doing here is they're sending an old school postcard. People don't send postcards anymore. But it's like an old school postcard to their fan base. And it's written in crayon. It's written in crayon. By bringing back Geno Smith, Woody Johnson of Johnson and Johnson fame, Woody Johnson is letting you the dingleberry, you the the moron know that winning is not an

option. It's not like they're trying to win. Winning is not on the on the table. It's not possible. You're all a bunch of suckers. Sign the New York Jets. That's it. Think of this franchise, like a nice bistro. And the health inspector comes to check out the bistro and it's a grade D rodent infestation. The Jets have a rodent infestations. What they have. We're talking about rats who are doing the backstroke in the marinara at this Italian bistro. You've got cockroaches in the manacotti. All right. As an added flavor there, there's sewage backing up in the lobby. And what are the fans of the Jets do? What do they do? Yeah. They keep ordering plates of contaminated chow from Uber Eats and going to the restaurant. We mentioned Carson Wentz is possible next. Man alive and adding Geno Smith is not a football move. It is venture capital liquidation. Venture capital liquidation. You know how like many of our great restaurants are

fast food restaurants and quick service restaurants get purchased by venture capital. And then you can't eat there anymore because the portions get smaller and the prices get more expensive. And so you can't go there anymore. And then they go out of business. And it's it's just the same cycle that repeats with the stock value for these things go up. But nobody goes there anymore. And so then they eventually go out of business. And so the venture capital liquidator. And this is liquidation here. Geno Smith is the liquidator in this story. He's the closer. He's not more on a Rivera. He might as well be. Geno was brought into the Jets to dismantle the building to bring down the Jets facility back to studs, back to bedrock and then sell off the copper pipes. That's the plan. Bring Geno in, sell off the copper pipes. And he's in the big apple and he's the bad apple. Geno Smith, the bad apple. Yeah. You can ruin all the other apples. That's it. Hand picked. He's in the cockpit there for the Jets. And this flight in the flight log. It says kamikaze mission is what it says on this right into the side of a mountain. And if everything goes

right, the Jets will have the same outcome the raiders had. And they'll get the top pick in the draft. And hopefully it'll be better than Fernando Mendoza, who's not going to be very good. It is the Ben Mallor Show. If you'd like to be part, you can join us right now. Say hello at 877 99 on Fox. That's 877 9966369. Also on X at Ben Mallor. That's at Ben Mallor. Again, the lead story here. Team USA losing too much of castoffs for the Italy team. The the handy downs and the bits and the pieces beat team USA. And so the world baseball classic is not looking that great for team USA. I think the Italians need to beat Mexico. Believe I think that's that's how that works. So we'll see.

Back to we go and the Mallor riddle of the day, the Boston Bruins. That is a hockey team, hockey team, and they are suing a blank over the trademark of the Boston Garden. I'll put my stick right in your mouth. So that is the question. What is the answer? Stephen Meatball is in Florida, says the Bruins are suing a local Boston area, all of garden. There you go. That's that's it. Who else do we have? Mr. Beast, guess by late night drug tester. Mr. Irrigation says they're suing

Don Lemon. Who else do we have? Alf, the Adrenal Poners says they're suing Billy Blank on behalf of weed man lawn care franchises. I have seen those trucks in the past to traveling around. Who else do we have? Let's see. Page down Ferg dog says a leprechaun selling unlicensed rubber chickens. Is the the answer? Who else? Page down a small LA college named UC LA is the answer BP. He cheated. He got it right. King Rory in Wisconsin says Uncle O'Grimmacy is the correct answer. Now who else Boston Garden is suing a garden center that has the same name that's Andy in Lionel Lakes, Minnesota. Fudgy in Boston says blind scots AI boyfriend is who they're suing a docky sausage. You got to ride bad job by him. JT the wingman said blind Scott and wow look at that blind

Scott is a photo of Scott at white cane awareness day. How did you find that JT the wingman? Okay. What else? They're suing a retired Zamboni driver. That's Timothy and busco, Indiana. Who else two can Sam from filler up fill? That's his answer. Inca Terrace is a former prince named Andrew Bandini from Rebecca the Ram fan. The girl scouts gets by Johnny Q. Who else Kyle says they're suing Eddie for his segment. Puck the world. Bring the segment back. Yeah, as soon as they rehire Eddie, we'll bring the we'll bring the segment back. I don't know what's going on. I'm sure they're working on that right now behind the scenes. What else do you say? Can't read that dog in Korea is going with adult toy store and it's his answer. All right, Lorena, do you have an answer again? The Boston Bruins. A hockey team are suing blank for trademark infringement on the

Boston garden. They are suing Disney. Disney is that correct? No. They are suing a cannabis dispensary on the north end of Boston. Yeah, there's a marijuana dispensary use the using the Boston garden name and so the people that run the TD garden and the Boston Bruins ownership are suing. Apparently it's a chain of marijuana dispensaries in Massachusetts and so there's a litigation. Do you think they should partner with them Ben and like come up with their own strain? Yeah, I don't think that's allowed now. I mean the NBA got upset at the Newtie bar. I don't think they're going to allow even though I guess you have a point. Yeah, yeah, let's go to the phones and let's see, who do we have? Any meany, mindy mo. Let's say hello to blind Scott who's up next. Hello, blind Scott.

Okay, yes, I've spent 160,000 at the Boston Garden dispensary inspection point. That's my dispensary. I'm familiar with the story. There's a woman who owns it. So you can't get they're wrong. TD gardeners would be wrong. The reason behind them suing is because they think that the Boston Garden dispensary will make people not come to the Boston Garden anymore. It won't sell tickets. So they're trying to create this is such a dirt bag mood, man. They're trying to claim that they're losing revenue because of that dispensary. It's because it's because their prices are so expensive at the garden. Like the dispensary actually isn't in the north end. It's in the west end. There's multiple ones around Boston. They don't want dispensary to the north end. We voted for them here. They don't want them here. They're dirt bags. They don't follow the laws, you know, but this is an outrage. TD garden does not have the rights to the Boston Garden. I have a Boston Garden now in front of my apartment. In a few weeks, they're going to have a sidewalk competition and everybody's going to have a Boston Garden. And I'm going to kick them over and people will not sue me because I'm infringing on the Boston Garden. All right, so hold on, so

hold on, take a breath. So you claim you have spent, I feel like you're making this number up. I feel like you're making the number of, so you say 160,000 and how many years has that place been open? It's been open about four years. I swear to God, but it's trash through the way. So you use, all right. So you're spending $40,000 a year on weed. Hmm. No, it's still imposter. Unless you're selling the loan, it's not going to give you the debt. All right, let's go to our weed expert, Kubaloob. Is it possible for someone to spend $40,000 on average over a four-year period as a single person to buy weed? Well, considering that blind Scott doesn't have a job and only collects like, you know, you got, you know, I don't think that's fiscally possible. Okay, Scott, you're being accused of lying blind stuff. I had a money from a law, I had money from a lawsuit. I've gotten tax returns.

The way I, how do you get it, how do you get a tax return if you don't work? Well, actually, that's wrong. I got, I had a pay $72,000 of the IRS. It's a remember, that's one of my dad's mad at me. Dude, my dad reached out. He's changing my topics. He's changing the topics. No, I mean, I do, it's trash through the state, though. I spread on them. You want to know how I get my money? I, people give me money. I beg for it on the street. All right. That's how I'm getting my money. I should do that. I should just get to it. Yeah, so if I talk about this on sports radio, they won't let me on it to pad up, but I stand in front of the 7-11 on Broadway Street and people hit me up a cash 24 hours a day. I go to the rest stops and hang out there and people hit me up a cash. The state police don't want me around those places, but why don't you just hang out at the bakery over there? The people, I bet you that place is packed every night when the bar is closed. That's a crap. Dude, they'll beat the crap. You can find that place. It's people are so drunk. Like, I love the bullies and everything and I love the north end. We got to keep the north end open at night, but I've gotten beat up. Dude, I almost thought somebody was beating me up so bad.

It gave me such an adrenaline rush. I never thought so high in my life, but I'll talk crap to people and I only weigh 150 now. Someone can get a hold of me. All right. I got you. I just play the game. What do you say here? Let's let's game. It's another bad mallard game. We've endured too many of these. Is it too much or not enough enough already? Let's go now to Charleston. And we say hello to Andy in Charleston. Hello, Andy. Welcome. What's up, fellas? It's going on. How's Charleston doing today? It's a beautiful 72 degrees and clear skies and just a picture of skyline of people after people after people here in the Holy City. Yeah, it's beautiful. I was there a few years ago. My niece actually lives in Charleston, so I have some family in your area. All right, Andy. Let's play the game. Here we go. Let's do it. You don't know a guy named Jerome, do you? I know a couple Jerome. Oh, really? Oh, okay. Yeah. All right. It's kind of an angry guy that complains a lot. No. No, he's more of an absent-minded well-loss individual.

Okay. Well, our guy complains about money and now I want to Charleston too, really bad. Okay. I want to learn how to do the Charleston dance also. All right. Here we go. Good luck to Andy. Here we go. Question number one on Monday. Nicola Yokoch had his 300 game with at least 20 points, 10 rebounds and five assists. Is that too much or not enough for the Joker? Repeat the question. So on Monday, Nicola Yokoch and the Nuggets had his 300 game with at least 20 points, 10 rebounds and five five assists. Is that too much or not? I don't know. Too much or not enough to do what, sir? The 300 game was that too much or not? No, no, that's if it's not, do you know the game? I feel like he doesn't know the game group. I feel like he's just piling up and he wants to be on the air. I don't think that was enough. Not enough. All right, let's see. That is right. All right. Question number two to Andy, who's never listened to the show before. All right. James Hardin just became the sixth player in NBA history. He scored 29,000

points in their career. That's James Hardin. Is that too much or not enough? Way too much, yo. All right. That is wrong. The answer is not enough. He is the ninth player to reach that mark. All right. Let's keep going here. Andy in Charleston, the Charleston chew. Here we go. Question number three. Luca Doncic scored his 95th triple double on Tuesday and a Lakers victory against the timber wolves. Is that too much or not enough, Andy? Not enough. All right, let's find out. Not too much. Doncic's 89th career triple double good for seventh all time. So you got to get these last two right, Andy or the game's all over. Making about the world cup or soccer questions. And I'll get them right. That's not right. Okay. Off to go.

Soccer really? It's going on with you. Well, I heard that the world cup in 2026 being held here in the state is going to be postponed by FIFA because of our new and we're on the area. All right. I tie a fair brain or whatever his name is. Tied the record for the most field goals made in a season last year with 40 of them. Is that too much or not enough? That is right on the mic. All right. That is incorrect. You lose game over. The answer is not enough. He made 44 field goals. Andy, thank you for playing. Good luck enjoying the world cup. Amazing. And we first time call it right there. First time listener. He's never heard the show and we'll never hear the show again. That's it. We'll never speak ever to Andy again. That is just great. Should we add a third option to the game? Too much. Not enough or right on the money?

In Andy's case, sure. The Queen of Hearts with Lorraine. If you want to call up and ask Lorraine a question, you can do that. Call up at 877 99 on Fox or hashtag Queen of Hearts.
