Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our name Bar one Hour one
a new week kicking off right now. We thank you
for being back with us on the podcast. Hopefully you
heard the other podcast that I do, the standalone podcast,
the Fifth Hour, and we had a Samurai Warriors story

(00:20):
from Saturday, and then before that back on Friday's podcast,
omar Visclle, one of the greatest defensive shortstops in baseball history,
popped up on the Fifth Hour podcast randomly with a
mail bag on Sunday. All that content available with limited
commercial interruption. But we'd like you to listen to this
content right now because this is the Ben mau Show.

(00:41):
Recorded the podcast while most people were sleeping. Can the
Raiders exhale? Now that Jimmy Garoppolo has passed his training
camp physical, what is your perspective on Brown's running back
Nick Chubbs saying there's really nothing the other running backs
can do about their contracts? And how do you react

(01:02):
to Robert Salah's advice on the Jets Fight Fight Fight
during training camp. We'll talk about all of that and
much more right now here. It is our number one.
The first turtle has been completed. Well GM in the

(01:23):
beginning of another week of the Ben Maler Show. We
are in the air. Everywhere is audio Buddies as we
kick it into high gear coast, the coast, border, the
border and beyond on the vast and bluntly powerful microphones
of fsre emmating live from the oil as we burn

(01:48):
the midnight oil. We are broadcasting live from the Tirak
dot Com studios. Tyraq dot com will help you get
there in unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free road hazard
for protection, and over ten thousand recommended in stallars. That's
a lot. Tire rack dot Com the way tire buying
should be. Hope all as well in your world. We

(02:11):
are back at it here hanging out in our lead
this hour to begin the week from football. Why not
a brand spanking new NFL week of practice. More teams
showing up to work out, and I'll be practicing this
week and by the end of the week everyone will
have started the training camp experience. But before you know it,

(02:36):
we will be kicking off the regular season. The long
winding road of the regular season early September with Kansas City,
the raining Super Bowl champions, playing host to the MotorCity Kidties.
But we begin with the NFL news of the weekend,
some new developments in lost wages Nevada. If you have

(02:57):
not heard and maybe not learned over the weekend at
the Raiders quarterback their new quarterback, their new shiny toy,
Jimmy Garoppolo. Did he pass or fail the team physical?
He passed. He passed just like he's supposed to do

(03:18):
during games. He passed the physical and is expected to
be on the field ready to go at the start
of training camp. Garoppolo will not go on the PUP list,
better known as the physically unable to perform list. You
might remember if you saw the NFL last season, Jimmy
Garoppolo was starting for the forty nine ers until he

(03:39):
wasn't starting for the forty nine ers anymore. He missed
the final eight games. Somebody named brock Perdy. We had
never heard of him, but he came in and played
and played well for Garoppolo. Butgaroppolo missed the final eight
regular season games of the regular season and also the
playoffs there due to a foot injury. It was mangle
the enof that. He eventually had to go to the

(04:00):
operating table had surgery back in March, and that was
after he signed with Vegas. He had an operation that
caused a kerfluffle with Mark Davis. He almost choked on
his PF Chang's. He was like, wait a minute, that's
a spicy egg roll right there. He was very upset
by that. The Raiders are us. So let us discuss

(04:21):
the question, can the Raiders now exhale that Jimmy Garoppolo
has passed his training camp opening physical? And I'm gonna
go first here, and I am shaking my head rapidly. No,
I've got y Lee Coyote and meteorology and dua lipa,

(04:45):
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are going to make the building blocks of a
marginal malar monologue. So a to answer the question, can
the Raiders exhale now that got has passed the training
camp physical? I'm curious as to how this went down.

(05:07):
Did Jimmy Garoppolo legitimately pass the physical where there's some
shenanigans going on? Was this some funny business going on
that he passed with Flying Colors? Or was this one
of those wink wink, nudge nudge type deals between some
team doctor and somebody higher up with the franchise. You
hear rumblings that that kind of hokey pokey activity does

(05:32):
go on. If you want to find a way to
pass the physical. If the team wants you to pass
the physical, you can find a doctor that will pass
the physical. Funny business is the way it is described
now in terms of taking a deep breath. There's no
chance because if you take a deep breath, the toxic
dust will get in your lungs everywhere. Jimmy Garoppolo, if

(05:56):
he was a cartoon character, would be why lea coyote.
He's the Wyleague coyote the NFL. When he plays and
is able to perform, he often plays at a very
high level. I don't know that I would go genius
level of football, but he's pretty good. And most often though,
he ends up mangle and so it's the ACME anvils

(06:18):
that drop on his head. It's the blown up by dynamite,
the sticks of dynamite with the ACME label on them,
dropped from the top of a cliff down our mountain side,
squished by rocks, run over by trains, etc. Etc. Et cetera.
Now pigskin lingo for Garoppolo. It's been fractured foot shoulder spray,

(06:43):
messed up thumb, fractured thumb, calf strain, high ankle sprain,
this sprain, that sprain. We all get a sprain. Those
injuries are only the past couple of years. For Garoppolo,
it would be much simpler to tell you. So it
hasn't hurt him, then what has? But if you watch

(07:03):
the NFL, you know that there's a seventy five percent chance,
a seventy five percent chance that the Raiders with Garoppolo playing,
we'll have to play at least multiple games without Jimmy
g at quarterback. Brian Hoyer for now is playing b
So Josh McDaniels is cooked now, turning the page on that.

(07:27):
A popular topic of conversation last two weeks has been
the disheveled running backs around the NFL. I've been told
we flogged this story, flogging a dead horse. So the
devaluation of running backs is an ongoing story. It's evolving
in front of our eyes and ears and the whole thing.

(07:49):
And we had a bit of a new development over
the weekend. So star running backs from around the league
hopped on the old Zoom call over the weekend discuss
solutions possible solutions. Now, there are all kinds about rages,
ideas being tossed out, a running back boycott all running

(08:10):
backs avoid going to practice in the offseason. There's also
been talk of a running back group get together where
the running backs work out together but not with the teams.
There's been chatter about a league wide boycott where the
other players stand by the running and my favorite is
the malingering one where the NFL Union. A big shot

(08:34):
at the Union's like, well, I just fake an injury.
That's all you gotta do. If every running back fakes
an injury, and that'll move the needle. So we bring
this up because they had a get together. Nothing major
was announced after the zoom conference call. Hard to believe
that didn't work. We've all had zoom calls where nothing happened. Anyway,

(08:54):
The Browns running back Nick Chubb Chubba loublub was part
of this meeting, this get together, the meeting of the minds,
and he laid out a very grim scenario for running
backs now and in the future. He said, there's really
nothing we can do. Nick Chubb with the Brown said, quote,

(09:16):
we're kind of handcuffed with the situation. Quote continues where
the or the only position that our production hurts us
the most. As we get out the tiny violin here
for Chobb, he said, if we mean the running backs
go out there and run two thousand yards with so
many carries, the next year they're going to say that

(09:36):
you're probably worn down. It's tough. Chubb stated, it hurts
us at the end of the day. Apparently not at
the beginning of the day, but only the end of
the day. So what is your perspective on Brown's running back?
Nick chubbahlah blah. Nick Chobbs saying there's really nothing that
running backs can do about the contracts they're getting in

(09:58):
the NFL circa to three. So I did a double
take on this. I said, wait a minute, this is
somebody that actually has common sense. This is this is
sage wisdom. It's like running backs in the NFL and
the salaries they make at this point. It's like meteorology.
You can use a weather app and check the forecast.

(10:19):
You can plan your wardrobe accordingly, but sometimes things get
out of your control. Unexpected storms. Depending on where you live,
unexpected storms happen, Clouds pop up, rain starts coming down
from the heavens, and then you then have to cope
with the situation. You have no control over the situation.
You just have to cope with it. The NFL owners

(10:42):
have running backs coming and going. It's not really the owners,
just the nerds in the front office. They've decided that
this is the way it is going to be, and
it's worked out well for them. And as Nick Chubb
laid out, you produce and you have dents and scratches.
For example, you look at a former Minis Soda Viking
running back who's available right now on the market, and

(11:03):
he's been very productive last four years. But what app
He crossed the rubicon, crossed the fifteen hundred threshold, fifteen
hundred career touches. So now it's like, well, you've got
too much mileage on the odometer. And if you don't produce,
then you're expendable. If you live up to expectations, but
you do not exceed expectations, then you're just roster spam.

(11:27):
So handcuffs, choke hold, standing in quicksand however you want
to do it. Not last word here. So let's go
over to the Jets. The Jets over the weekend getting
a lot of attention. They had not one, not two,
But how about multiple fights breakout all over? It was
fight night for the New York Jets. Now, the reporters,
as they often do, question the head coach about this,

(11:48):
in this case, Robert Salah, the motivational speaker slash head
coach or the Jets, as to his thoughts on the
events that took place. Now, if you didn't hear what
he had to say, maybe not. Sala gave his players
the same advice he gives to his seven children when
it comes to fighting. In fact, I think we have

(12:09):
the audio on this. Rather than me tell you what
Robert Salas said, why don't we listen to him explain
in detail his advice and his wisdom on training camp fights.
Let's go to the audio tape.

Speaker 2 (12:23):
Guys, it's training camp. These guys are fighting for their lives,
are fighting for their livelihood right. They're trying to get
on teams or trying to compete their tail off to
get into a starting lineup, to earn a spot on
the roster, to earn a role, and so fights are
gonna happen. And and it's like, you know, I tell them,
when you're when you're fighting with your family, you gotta rule.
You got to rule as a family. I'll tell my
seven kids, keep it below the neck, above the waist,

(12:45):
you know. So the skirmishes are gonna happen, don't throw punch,
you're gonna get in your shoving match. Get on, move on,
get over with it. We got a lot of stuff
to do, but they're gonna happen. And to pretend like
they're not gonna happen, you're you're just fooling yourself. But
that it's a product of people competing their tails off,
trying to earn something more than it is just uncontrolled anger.

Speaker 1 (13:06):
Okay, so that was a sound by. You heard the
money part of that. How do you react to Robert
Salah's advice on jets fighting at training camp? So? I
thought it was outstanding. This is one of those things
that happens every year and the reaction always is surprising
to me, like the faux outrage, the pearl clutching. I
can't believe the Druts are fighting or whatever team it

(13:27):
is during training camp. I thought that advice was outstanding,
and it's really great advice in any situation. If you're
gonna fight with someone who's a coworker, someone who's in
the family. Keep it below the neck, above the ways.
That's great advice. Below the neck, above the ways. You're
not gonna mess with the head. You're not gonna mess
with the junk. And that's the way to do it right.
And certain storylines have become so cliche over the years

(13:52):
that we've been watching all this, and the training camp
fight is near the very top of the list. It's
as much a part of summer practice is running gassers
and the pearl clutching is pointless, and is that song
from Dua Leap goes Boys will be boys. Many of
the fights are more for show than anything else. So

(14:13):
it's like, get the coach's attention. It's like, hey, listen,
they're gonna find out who I am. They're gonna know
my name, They're gonna remember me that I am such
a warrior, I'm so methodical, I'm so diabolical that I
am going to get into a rhubarb on a toasty,
steamy day at training camp, and that is how I'm
going to make my mark. You just watch. They'll go

(14:34):
back and they watch that all twenty two and they'll
be like, oh, I can't believe it's amazing right, this
is the Band Maler Show. You would like to comment
on any of that, you are more than welcome at
eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. It's eight seven
seven nine nine six six three six ' nine. Also
on the Twitter machine. You can join us there. And

(14:57):
I guess they're changing the name. I don't know whatever,
it's every day Us, but anyway, we are on there
for now until they change the name. Who knows, maybe
we'll leave it. It's at Ben Malor and we are
on the latest revelation of the social media world, and
that would be threads. You can follow the show on
Threads at Ben Mahlor on Fox, on the threads app,

(15:17):
and also the name on Instagram and Facebook page which
is Ben Malor Show. We don't often talk about diet.
Why would we on this show makes a lot not
a lot of sense. We talked plausibly about sports, but
an NFL star's diet has boomerang back. I feel like
we've talked about this before, but it's back again, and

(15:39):
people freaking out by the dietary habits of a certain
NFL superstar. We'll talk about that and the great over
Under debate will go down that road. As well, and
we will do it next.

Speaker 3 (15:56):
Be sure to catch live editions of the Ben Mallor
Show weekdays at two am East an eleven pm Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 4 (16:05):
Join the curious world of the Ben Malor Show online.
It is pain free and easy to do. Just follow
your host on Twitter or whatever they're calling it. He's
at Ben Mallor and you can tweet at and follow me.
Eddie Garcia, your humble sidekick, the voice of reason, your
news guy. You're announcer Gary. I'm at Eddie on Fox Head.

(16:26):
I I from the ti rack dot Com. Fox Sports
Radio Studios. It's Ben Mallor.

Speaker 1 (16:32):
Later on, you're with us with a full flight on
the Red Eye flight all night long, and we'll have
Mallard of the Third Degree next hour, the Instant Advice Line,
a fan favorite, unscreened phone calls from the knuckleheads that
listen to the show. That'll be coming up in the
third hour, and then the final hour we have Malard,
Militia Feud and some other surprises. So that'll all be

(16:53):
coming your way throughout the course of the overnight. As
we are beginning a new here, we take your calls
at eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox, and also
your comments, and we are for the time being using
what I guess is called still Twitter, although I don't know,
I don't know what they're gonna call it X or

(17:14):
something like that. It seems like that makes a lot
of sense. But what the hell? Why not? Why not?
Richard is tuned in. He says he is listening from rehab. Fantastic, Oh,
fantastic opening rant. Well, good luck Richie with your rehab.
Hopefully it works out for you. And remember when you
get out of rehab, Richard, you still have to listen
to the show. Yeah, you can't stop listening to the show.

(17:36):
We've lost a lot of great contributors to the show
because they successfully go to rehab and then they forget
about the show. Bad job, bad job. All right, what
else do we have? Let's see here. Ferg Dog writes
in and says, I don't give a flying fudge about
the Raiders, but I'm thrilled for Jimmy. G If Jimmy
can stay healthy and avoid getting in Ninja's sword fights,

(17:59):
I think will have a pretty good year. Well, you
don't have to go there for a dog. It's been
too soon. There's no need to bring that up. But
I am a Samurai warrior. Now I've earned my Samurai
warriors status. So there is that. Stevie Meatballs from Florida
says below the neck and above the ways. Hey, that
leaves Booby slaps as fair game from Steven Meebles. Okay, Anthony,

(18:24):
and Anaheim says he cannot wait for Malor's Mountain of
money when Ben beats Eddie yet again. Well, it will
be fun. That'll be tomorrow, Anthony. You have that to
look forward to. Anthony.

Speaker 4 (18:35):
I'm guessing he didn't say that. I haven't seen the tweet,
but I didn't sound like him.

Speaker 1 (18:38):
Well, that's what he meant. I've known Anthony. He grew up,
he grew up listening to me, and he's a fan
of the show, and he knows all the bits on
the show. So why would he mispronounce a bit? It
was he's probably drinking robbing the mini bar on a
Sunday night, and that's likely what happened. So that's that's
the case of Vegas strong rights. In Scott he says,

(18:59):
what is Maler's top three California NFL teams? And why, Well,
that's compelling sports radio. That's what we need. That's the
content the listener needs, unless they don't, Unless they do
not need that Rob soon to be formally of Vegas.
Is this true? Rob is leaving Vegas? Where is Rob going?

(19:20):
Do we know where Rob is going? Has he lost
all his money? Now? Is he going to go down
to that Greyhound bus station down there near Fremont Street.

Speaker 4 (19:26):
I met Rob in Vegas at Nacho Daddy's when I
was there.

Speaker 1 (19:30):
You have inside information, Eddie on it, I do, Okay.

Speaker 4 (19:33):
He is a native of the Great State of Michigan. Yeah,
and I believe he is returning home to the state
of Michigan.

Speaker 5 (19:43):
Now.

Speaker 1 (19:43):
Is this show going to still be part of Rob's
life when he's in Michigan because it's on later in Michigan.

Speaker 4 (19:48):
Yes, but I don't believe live. I believe he's going
to be shifting to the podcast.

Speaker 1 (19:54):
Oh we're gonna lose Rob in Vegas.

Speaker 4 (19:56):
Well, no, I'm gonna lose him as a live listener.

Speaker 1 (19:58):
But he's a contry tributter of content. So that means Rob,
if you leave, you have to find somebody to replace him. Yeah,
he has to find somebody to replace himself. If we
lose Rob. That's the rule. If you go to the
dreaded day shift, you then have to find someone to
replace you as a content creator on the show. So
that's just the way we've done business here. That's the

(20:21):
reality of the situation.

Speaker 5 (20:22):
Now.

Speaker 1 (20:23):
But what did he say here page down? He had
a couple of things he wanted to share with the class. Uh,
he says, uh, speaking of the pup list. Is Whoopy
Pie Blair still with us? Or did Barcel in Brooklyn
finally get his hands on Whoopie Pie Blair? No, Blair
called up. I think it was last week. Everything runs together.

(20:45):
I don't know. I think he called up last week.
Thanks for listening, Rob, And we talked to Blair and
he was rambling on and on and on, and that
was that. We've moved on. And Anthony says, he's been
listening for seventeen years. Anthony Anaheim, seventeen years of his
life before he had a whole pack of children, way

(21:09):
back then. Let's go to the phones. It is the
Ben Mahler Show. We'll go to the phones. We'll say
hello to Rockin' Rob in Dallas. Rock and Rob, Welcome,
You're on Fox Sports Radio. It's the Ben Mahler Show.
Hello Rob. Hmm, things that make you just hung up

(21:29):
on Rob? Rob, We've just hung up on you. You cannot
get customer service like this anywhere else, Rob Man.

Speaker 6 (21:36):
Well, it's so stupid, because if I'm on the phone
screening a call, I can't put a call on the air.
I have to hang up the receiver and then push
the button.

Speaker 1 (21:47):
So you're attempted to circumvent that system. And in the
transition there, Rock and Rob is no longer rocking. Yes,
then it's unfortunate. Okay, Well, Rob, call back if you want.
If not, I completely understand. I completely understand Rob. I
get it. I understand that this might be him. All right,
we'll see here. This is fascinating. We're trying to get you.

(22:08):
Think this call is gonna be worth the amount of
effort that we've made to get Rob unlikely on the air.
Very little chance, I would say less than five percent.
It is him. Okay, so he has called back. That's
this attempt to put him on the air. Now, Hello
Rock and Rob.

Speaker 5 (22:23):
Yeah, I'm sorry, sir.

Speaker 1 (22:24):
Why would you apologize we hung up on you. You
don't need to apologize.

Speaker 3 (22:27):
You're the ones who hung up on it was not
me right, yeah, this jub probably, I don't know.

Speaker 5 (22:36):
I'm gonna get your opinion on like running backs and
stuff like that because I'm a Cleveland Brown fan for life,
for life.

Speaker 1 (22:43):
Are you sure it's a life? Is this a life sentence? Here?

Speaker 5 (22:46):
Rock and Rob you can well, well, I don't like
now a scowboy from the seventies, but when it comes
to I was a Philadelphia fan. I was trying to
beat him as the best of it back in the seventies.

Speaker 1 (22:56):
Now, did you grow up in Texas?

Speaker 6 (23:00):
No?

Speaker 5 (23:01):
No, I was an Eights fan. I mean I grew
up in Louisiana.

Speaker 1 (23:04):
I'm okay, Oh yeah you told this.

Speaker 5 (23:06):
I'm a coon, but I mean I but yeah, I'm
born raids. If you want to say coon, I can't
say the rest one.

Speaker 1 (23:15):
Well, I mean we'd like you not to do it,
but you just did it twice.

Speaker 5 (23:19):
Yeah, I mean Ardree Manning, Archie Manning days.

Speaker 1 (23:24):
If you know what I mean, I hear you're dating
yourself now there.

Speaker 5 (23:28):
Well yeah, but see I'm still Saints because that's my
dream super Bowl would be the Brown because I always
played a football outside, you know, like real real grass.

Speaker 1 (23:38):
You don't believe in that fakes. You don't believe in
playing on plastic and you.

Speaker 5 (23:42):
Know, right, and and domes and stuff.

Speaker 1 (23:44):
All right, so let's let's get to the point here,
let's get down to basiness. I'm gonna roll up our.

Speaker 4 (23:49):
I'm gonna get dirt.

Speaker 1 (23:50):
We're gonna get dirt under our fingernails.

Speaker 5 (23:52):
The best running back since Barry Sanders because I went
to OSU, Oklahoma State University, and and they's the best.
To me.

Speaker 1 (24:02):
Marshall Falk was pretty good.

Speaker 4 (24:05):
Oh yeah, saying.

Speaker 5 (24:08):
But what do you think? I'm just gonna well, but
but they deserve what they are, right, what do you do?

Speaker 1 (24:17):
What do you mean they deserve what they are? I
don't know what that means.

Speaker 5 (24:20):
But they're the one that grind. They grind they do there,
They grind it out, don't they.

Speaker 1 (24:25):
Well, doesn't everyone deserve more money? I think I deserve
more money. Don't you deserve? Yeah? Yeah, all right, So
why is it? Why should we feel bad for running backs?
I mean, I think there's a lot of people. If
I were to compile a big board, not a list,
because I don't do list. As you know, rock and Rob,
I don't believe in list but if I were to
put a big board together of who needs more money,

(24:45):
I don't know that running backs would be in the
top one hundred.

Speaker 5 (24:49):
So so you're picking a wide receiver or defense.

Speaker 1 (24:53):
No, I think they're all doing okay. I think they're
they're doing all right for themselves. They're fine. And could
the NFL give more?

Speaker 3 (25:00):
Sure?

Speaker 1 (25:00):
They could give more. Could my company give more? Sure
they could. I mean any business could give more, if
you want to get down to get down to that.
But thank you, Rock and Rob. I'm so glad we
get that phone call on the air. Thank you. I'm
sure we dumped you multiple times. Nobody heard most of
that phone call, so just wonderful. I like that he

(25:20):
said a word he probably knew he shouldn't say, and
then he repeated it just in case, in case the
first time we didn't hear the word that he cannot say.

Speaker 4 (25:31):
But yes, I'm not sure that there was anything intentionally No,
but you know, as the handbook has told us, win
in doubt, leave it out.

Speaker 1 (25:40):
Yes, I graduated from iHeart University. Thank you for that
very much. With colors flying colors, they had little colors
on the screen when I graduated, and they said you
have to get the certificate from your boss, and I said, okay,
thank you very much. I appreciate that.

Speaker 1 (26:56):
It's not an All Star trade deadline. It's just the
trade deadline.

Speaker 4 (26:59):
Did I say all Star trade line? I apologize? When
is the major league deadline? Yes, doesn't August.

Speaker 1 (27:06):
To say August first, it's in the afternoon, and that's
when the music stops. Trade deadline show how Tani on
pace now to hit fifty eight home runs, so he
would not get to that sixty mark. He would not
get to the Aaron Judge record that he set last
year if that was to be the pace. And maybe
he'll play better, who knows. And if he gets traded,

(27:28):
it's possible he'll go to a team that has a
maybe an extra game or two so he can get
some extra games in to set the record. I do
not believe he's going to be traded though. That's my
no chance, my cospective.

Speaker 4 (27:38):
At this point, Coop says, no chance. Tweet that out
no chance, Coop.

Speaker 1 (27:43):
Angel insider sweet he knows almost as much about the
Angels as Patrick O'Neil and Mark Goob is off right.
He tells us that tani will not be traded. So
how much money did Brian Harmon make for winning the
British Open? The survey says million dollars three.

Speaker 4 (28:03):
Million dollars jump change on the Live Tour.

Speaker 1 (28:06):
Yeah that's nothing.

Speaker 4 (28:07):
But it's just a typical weekend.

Speaker 1 (28:10):
Yeah. Total purse overall, they paid out over sixteen million
dollars sixteen point five million.

Speaker 4 (28:18):
Now, I'm not a big golf guy, and I don't
think you are either.

Speaker 1 (28:21):
I pretend to be for the Major, Yeah, I pretend
to be.

Speaker 4 (28:24):
I've never heard of Brian Harmon. I'm sure if you're
a big golf guy, you know who he is. But
I listened.

Speaker 1 (28:28):
I listened to Fox Sports Ready with Jason Smith five
nights a week and on the weekend because of the
Fantasy Show. And yes, I've known Harmon for a long time.
We go back many years. Me and Harmon.

Speaker 4 (28:39):
I just wonder where does that individual payout rank as
far as his career earnings? Do you have that information available?

Speaker 1 (28:46):
Well you think you will me to go deep into Well.

Speaker 4 (28:49):
I'm lucky. You don't have to feel shame if you
don't know.

Speaker 1 (28:51):
No, I can get that right now. It's very simply.
They have this thing called the internet. I can get
that right now. Brian Harmon career let me look this up.
Twenty nine million career earnings or Brian Harmon. He is
now over thirty million dollars. Thirty point three million dollars.
This guy's made. We've never heard of this guy. He's
thirty six years old and he's made over thirty million

(29:14):
dollars in career innings.

Speaker 4 (29:15):
He's he's pretty good. He's a pretty good player.

Speaker 1 (29:18):
Then he's made over a million dollars a year and
usually two or three or four million.

Speaker 4 (29:24):
Since twenty fourteen, although thirty six is pretty old for
your first career major. So, but he must be, you know,
one of those guys like top twenty every week or something.

Speaker 1 (29:33):
He can hide in the shadows. Yeah, and you can
make a lot of money this year is with this win.
Now he's over five million dollars this year that he
has earned in payouts.

Speaker 4 (29:44):
Just his fifth professional win.

Speaker 1 (29:46):
Though you don't have to win. It's like the Olympics.
You can get the bronze and you don't even have
to get the r's the what's lower than the bronze?
There's nothing lower than the bronze, right, but at the
very bottom there they got to come up with some
other medals, the aluminum foil, and you can make money
as the aluminum foil winner. They'll give you money. So
good for this guy.

Speaker 4 (30:06):
I don't know, University of Georgia product.

Speaker 1 (30:09):
Oh yeah yeah. Does he like to ride through the
backwoods of Georgia at a high rate of speed like
Georgia football players? Or is that only golfer? Or is
that only football players?

Speaker 4 (30:17):
I don't know, I don't know.

So I feel like we've talked about this story before,

(30:40):
but it's popped back up on our radar again, as
it is back out there in the zeitgeist of the times.
The dietary habits of DK Metcalf of the Seattle Seahawks,
that is back. He has apparently not changed his diet.
The Star wide receiver has admitted this is not something new,

(31:00):
but it's popped back up. So it's new for some
people that his favorite food is candy and that's what
he goes for. He says, that his diet as a
professional athlete in Seattle consists of one meal a day.
He says, he drinks one coffee and he eats three

(31:22):
full bags of candy, and he loves Skittles, gummies and
Life Lifesaver creations or his go to he said, now
full bag. That could be a small bag, that could
be an individual bag, or that could be a family
size bag. And this guy's burning off so many calories
working out getting ready for the NFL that he could

(31:44):
conceivably eat a family sized bag of Skittles, gummies and
a couple other candies and it wouldn't be it wouldn't
be a problem. But I do like the one meal
a day. I know there is a war going on
right now by those that are against intermittent fasting. I
believe it's Big Breakfast, and Big Breakfast is trying to
get people to stop doing intermatet fast.

Speaker 4 (32:05):
I love Big Breakfast, though.

Speaker 1 (32:07):
Screw Big Breakfast, That's what I say, because I am
an intermittent fasting guy, and there's this war now on
interimen and fasting that it's bad for you. Well, got
a ben breakfast and all that? Yes, yes, what.

Speaker 6 (32:20):
Did you say that there's a decent chance that your
gallstones were caused by your intermittent fasting.

Speaker 1 (32:26):
No, my gallstones were caused by my eating, not by
my fasting. No, they were caused by eating massive amounts
of food. That's when did you start the intern after
I had the golfstone? Really? Yes? I didn't before I did. Yes.

Speaker 4 (32:41):
Yes, I don't think that's true.

Speaker 1 (32:43):
I think that is true. I think that is true.

Speaker 4 (32:45):
I don't think I remember us talking amongst ourselves thinking well,
I don't know if this is a good idea for penns.

Speaker 1 (32:52):
The next thing, you know, intermittent you think, wait, what
kind of doctor are you, by the way to say that?

Speaker 4 (32:57):
What do you?

Speaker 3 (32:57):
Doc?

Speaker 1 (32:57):
Mic over there giving out?

Speaker 6 (32:59):
Medical studies have found that people who regularly fast more
than sixteen or eighteen hours a day have a higher
risk of gallstones.

Speaker 1 (33:05):
Oh please, there's a study for everything. I just wrote
my own study. I just wrote my own study.

Speaker 4 (33:11):
Science.

Speaker 1 (33:12):
No, no, stop stop with the science. Listen. Science is
now most of the sciences. Bullcup, there's study, there's a study.
Listen to me. There's a study that says, don't drink coffee,
it's bad for you. Then a year later, there's a
study that says, drink a cup of coffee a day,
You'll live for an extra ten years. Every you can
find a study to fit what you want, is what
I'm trying to say. They're bull crap. I used to love.

(33:34):
I used to read studies all the time. I used
to talk about I'd read them on the air. But
there's so much haze involved in the studies that are
out there now I can't do it anymore. It's ridiculous
because they tell you one thing, and then a month later,
or two months later, a year later, they tell you
the complete and total opposite. It all depends on science.
It all depends on the size of the sample size
and who's funding the study. That's what I've determined, who's

(33:56):
paying for the study. Anyway, we will have the MLB pick.
Here's the who am I game? The Atlanta Braves Austin
Riley had sixteen runs batted in over a five game span.
That is tied for the second most by a third
baseman since nineteen forty two. I am the only third
sacker who has had more over a five game stretch. Again,

(34:22):
the Atlanta Braves Austin Riley. He recently had a stretch
of sixteen RBIs and a five game span that is
tied for the second most by a third basement since
nineteen forty two. I'm the only third sacker that has
had more runs batted in over a five game stretch.
Who Am I? The answer?

know your baseball or not? We're about to find out.
So here is the question and we go to it
right now. The Atlanta Braves Austin Riley had sixteen runs
batted in over a five games span recently that is

(35:37):
tied for the second most by third baseman since nineteen
forty two. I'm the only third sacker who has more
over a five game stretch. Who am I? The answer?

It is not Guy Fieri.

Speaker 4 (37:03):
Yeah, I'm gonna go with Angels right fielder who we
got a kickout of sitting behind Trey Cabbage.

Speaker 1 (37:09):
Trey Cabbage. No, I'm against all forms of cabbage.

Speaker 4 (37:13):
Not joking. That's the guy's name.

Speaker 1 (37:15):
By that I know, Shane of des Moines there said
Guy Fieriy was the answer, the correct answer, Eddie. And
this this is one of those mind blowing answers from
the Seattle Mariners of the mid nineties, Mike Blowers. Mike
Blowers had a stretch where he had seventeen runs batted
in over a five game stretch, and that the record
since nineteen forty two. And that leads us into the

(37:39):
MLB Pickham Daily Fantasy. As we start out a new week,
and who is going first? Oh, nobody but me. I
will take Nathan Evaldi of the Rangers, Go ahead, cool.
