Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our numb bird too. As we scoot on over
and talk about the forty nine Ers, the runner up
in the NFL. Back at the Super Bowl, Trent Williams
got paid. He says he eyed security and that Ricky
Piarsol getting shot was the main reason he wanted to
(00:23):
return sooner to the forty nine ers.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Do you believe him?
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Also, wide receiver Brandon Ayuk says ultimately he wanted to
be with the forty nine ers. Is that how you
read the room? Also, how are things going for the
NFL Global barnstorming tour plans for this weekend in Brazil
between the Eagles and Eagles and Packers playing on Friday
(00:47):
in Brazil. Will give an update on that, And look
beneath the service, all of that coming your way right
now in our number two Burning Money by the Bay Welco.
In the beginning of another hour of the Benmahlor Show,
we are in the air everywhere right next door as
(01:12):
we are sparkling blue Coast Stuckcoast, sporting the motor and
beyond on the vast and rhythmically powerful microphones of fsr
ammnating live from inside. We're thinking inside the Mystical and
Magical Radio Box. We're broadcasting live for the Tirak dot
(01:34):
Com studios tyraq dot com. Well help you get there
in unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free road hazard protection
at over ten thousand recommended in stallerstyraq dot com The
Way Tire Buying Show. Be I got an update from
Cowboy Drew. He's one of the gamers that's up all
(01:58):
night with us, and he spent about ten thousand hours
playing that farming game, so it's good to.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Have him alongside for all those hours.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
But our lead this hour is from the bay for
the last month of our lives, doing monotonous talk radio
every night. Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
That's how it sounds. We talk about the issues of
(02:26):
the day. It's one of the manchas we have on
this show.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
The news of the day. Some of you, you know
who you are, get annoyed. You send me nasty letters.
What are you doing?
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Why are you talking about that story? I don't care
about that story, Like we do the show only for
you get upset, you're anger, And I don't write back
to everybody. The people that I occasionally will write back to,
I'll say, listen, this is the way show works. We
start out every day with the blank canvas and whatever
the stories are people are talking about. We do broadcasting,
not narrow casting.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Right.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
We have worry about the show that we do that night,
and that's what we worry about.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
So for the last month, the forty nine ers have
been sparring with a couple of their key players, the
reigning runner up in the NFL, and they ended one
of those long sagas signing Brandon Ayuk to a big extension.
So they took care of that, and now they have
(03:18):
taken care of their other high profile contractor fluffle. You
didn't hear about it with not a lot of fanfare.
Perhaps you missed it. The left tackle Trent Williams, he's back.
Trent Williams has returned to the forty nine ers, ending
his training camp hole that Williams is now signed through
(03:39):
twenty twenty six, but he did not have any guaranteed
money he had been signed already had a couple of
years remaining, but no guaranteed money.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
And so now he complained about that and said that's
not fair. I want more money.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
So they gave him more money, and he said that
security was the key, say the security to Volta League.
That was the quote that he gave to start about security.
Also claimed that the random shooting of his teammate Ricky
pearsall right through the chest, but he survived and he's
(04:16):
gonna be okay. Ricky Pearsoll, that shooting helped motivate Trent
Williams to end the stand up. So those are the
two talking points that I came across as I was
perusing this story, and I thought that was interesting. So
let us discuss the question the mammoth left tackle. Trent
Williams says that he eyed security and that rookie teammate
(04:39):
Ricky Pearsoll getting shot randomly on the streets of San
Francisco main reason he wanted to return sooner to the
forty nine ers.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Do you believe him? Do you believe him?
Speaker 3 (04:54):
So?
Speaker 2 (04:54):
I've got the Queen granulated sugar and sparkling jewelry and
we will combine all of these things together, and we
are going to sail off to the wild.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Blue yonder, is what we're going to do. So, Na Bar, Yeah,
it's a nice story. Do I believe the story?
Speaker 2 (05:18):
No, we are going to go with stories that are nonsense.
For one thousand, alex Oh. For two, my spidy like
sense is telling me that Trent Williams did not sign
because of security, and he certainly didn't sign because of
his teammate getting shot over the weekend.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
That is a sandwich.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Is a bunch of balogney, bunch of money Trent Williams.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
And I'm not sure. I'm very clear.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Trent Williams has earned one hundred and sixty eight million
dollars just on the field. Now, offensive linemen don't make
a lot of money off the field, I get that,
But one hundred and sixty eight million on field earnings
during his career outside of Bernie Madoff being his financial advisor.
You've got security, right, You've got security. Generations of your family,
(06:10):
your fifth and sixth cousins have security if you if
you want. So, this was about one thing and one
thing only. The Queen Aretha Franklin, the Queen of Soul
and Lorena played at last hour, riespect it's all about
that respect.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
All I'm asking for a little respect.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Garanteed money, that is the love language of pro football.
Guaranteed money, It's magical. And from his perspective, he didn't
have any guaranteed money left, so abracadabra shazam, he complains,
he sits out, and all of a sudden, the Niners
somehow they have a bake sale and they come up
(06:55):
with forty eight million dollars in fully guaranteed money at
signing also gets a twenty five point six million signing
bonus because he lives plays in California.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
I think he lives there in the offseason.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
So Trent Williams, once you factor in California tax, federal tax,
it's about twenty five dollars, but he did start with
twenty five point six in terms of the signing bonus.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Now page two. Staying in the Bay, Brandon.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Iyuk, who was in a tough spot and certainly seemed
like he wanted to play somewhere else on his contract negotiation.
He gave a quote this week saying quote, I'm not
going to lie. He said, I made it a little
more difficult.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Than it needed to be.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
In the end, however, wide receiver Brandon iox says, ultimately
he wanted to be with the forty nine ers.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
So here we go again.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Wanted to be with the forty nine ers. Is that
how you read the room on this one? So yeah,
maybe my reading skills are down. I don't know it's possible,
but I'm gonna shake my head no on this.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
I file this.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
One in the bag of granulated sugar. This is what's
known as sugar coating reality. That Brandon Iuk's first choice
was to play for, of all teams, the Washington Commanders.
Good luck on that, but he also was interested in
playing for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
We know that he did not want to.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Play for the Patriots or the Cleveland Browns. Can't blame
him on that, but the preferred choices were Washington and
Pittsburgh and his guy Jaden Daniels. They go back to
Arizona State together in DC, and you got Mike Tomlin
a person of interest for Brandon Iuck in Pittsburgh. Now,
(08:43):
in the end, the forty nine Ers came this close
to making his dreams come true, at least trading him
to Pittsburgh as we hear from a little birdie that
they saw one in a miss. They contacted the Broncos
tried to work out a three team trade. They wanted
to get Courtland Sutton out of Denver and then they
(09:03):
were gonna acquire some draft picks from Pittsburgh. They're gonna
move some things around there. There was a snaffo. They
didn't work out the compensation with Denver, so that trade
never happened and as a result, that trade was off
the table. The Commander's never fully engaged. So long story short,
Brandon Auks he got tired of sitting around. He wanted
(09:24):
to play and the only way to play was to
go to the forty nine ers, and so he stayed
with the forty nine ers.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
And now they're moving some other stuff around.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Our final point a Mallor Show follow up, International Meta
Mystery the Department. How are things going for the NFL
Global Barnstorming Initiative as they are set to land in Brazil.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
So let's see.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
I get the Eagles and Packers. They're gonna play on Friday.
It's on Peacock, so you can watch Benny versus the
Penny and the and you can stay on peacock and
watch the game. So that's on Friday in Salpolo, Brazil. Now,
both teams have been fully debriefed, fully debriefed on the
dues and the don'ts when you get boots on the
(10:14):
ground there in Brazil.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
And let me point out that when they.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Put those boots on the ground in Brazil, they might
as well be fitted with sparkling jewelry. I recommend a
nice shiny ankle bracelet to monitor where they're at, because
essentially house arrest, house arrest. Here's why you've got, according
to media reports, wild puffs of smoke in that part
(10:41):
of Brazil from the Amazon burning up their Amazon wildfires.
You have a political brew haa haa between the political
leaders of Brazil and Elon Musk which involves Tesla and X,
the social media platf form where you're banned if you
(11:02):
can't use it in Brazil. The players have been strongly advised,
if not ordered, in hush tones, to not leave their
hotel rooms in Brazil.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
In fact, I'm told the Eagles are so paranoid.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
They're landing at the airport there in that part of
Brazil and they're going to a hotel right next to
the airport because that's deemed the safe zone. The airport
is protected, although they packers are supposed to staying at
a hotel.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
In the city.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Players were told not to respond to any messages they
might or might not get on their phones, which I
think is just common anywhere any odd messages. Players also
have been advised by their agents and whatnot to not
bring families, many of them not bringing any family members
with them. And as an added bonus, even if the
(11:50):
NFL is able to make this game happen without a hitch,
the national holiday for Brazil, the equivalent we are told
of the fourth of July, is on Saturday, September seventh,
the day after the game, and I filled down a
spider hole online and one Doom and Gloom media outfit
(12:10):
was reporting major upheaval likely rioting in Brazil in that
part of Brazil on Saturday. So in other words, you go,
you play the game, and you just run to the
airport right run to the airport and get the f
out of Dodge and get back to the States right
after the game. Don't even shower, you don't even need
(12:33):
to shower, just get back on the plane with body
odor a whole plane smells like bo and just get
the heck out of there. It is other than that,
things are going great. It is the Ben Mahler Show.

the Coop the Loop, Justin Cooper and he's at U
H bronco.
Speaker 1 (14:24):

I am laughing so hard.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
That is comedy. What is going on here? What? What? What?
You're the music director Lorreno? What happened here?
Speaker 2 (14:58):
I asked for the clean It doesn't like so there's
not a there's not a radio edit.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
That's that's the worst radio edit of all time. I
like that.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
I just win in doubt, bleep it out. That's the
way to go outstanding man.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
All Right, anyway, we'll.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Press on here. Mickey in state forty eight. That's the
Grand Canyon State, he says, great monologue. The birds and
packers also need to avoid unmarked cabs in Brazil, as
the Simpsons taught us years ago when they went to
Brazil and Homer was kidnapped for ransom. That's good knowledge
of the Simpsons back in the day. Yeah, just go
(15:41):
to the hotel, don't leave. Although I gotta tell you,
in the past some business trips I went on, I
never did anything. I just stayed in the hotel. I say,
there was one radio gig that I had where they
said they would cover all of my hotel expenses. They
wouldn't give me per diem, but if I ordered room
(16:02):
service they would cover that. So I just stayed in
the hotel all day and ate room service because they
said they said they would cover.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
I was like, all right, Yeah, that was back when
I was in my bed.
Speaker 7 (16:11):
How did that? How did that go? When you got
back and you had to submit some receipts.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Well, they covered, they covered the bill.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
They were a little agasted at the amount of food
that I ate at the you know, I figured a
couple of meals and then you have dessert, and you
have the snacks and all that, and I they had
a deal with the hotel, so they thought that that
would be the way to way to go. But I
made I made the most of that deal. I definitely
made the most of that deal. Andy, I'll go to
the calls.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Why not.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Board has not been reset in a while. But let's
see if anyone's here, Keg drinking Steve. Hello, Keg drinking Steve.
It would appear that he's not there, and it's unfortunate
that there's no communication.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
So all right, let's go to let's see your angry Bill. Hello,
angry Bill.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
That's amazing you go to me after you can't get
somebody else on. But that's okay, Ben, I love waiting
for you. There's nothing else I liked my life waiting
for you.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
The thing we've learned about you, Angry Bill, is that
despite the amount of time that you spend calling the show,
you have been able to maintain a very low level
of knowledge when it comes to sports.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
And that's impressive. I am impressed by that, Angry Bill.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Well. I like your sarcasm and it's it's very nice,
and I absorb it. But what I want to talk
about is these athletes having such problems. This forty nine
or guy gets shot, the two hockey players in my
home state of New Jersey get run over. I mean,
this is getting out of hand. It's a bad day.
(17:54):
And heck, when a guy can't drink five or six
beers and two bicycles stay the hell out of his way.
You want to get drunk, okay, and you want to
drive home, keep your bikes off the damn road. I
drive every day on the roads. These bicycles are a
pain in the ass. Okay.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
That's a tremendous advice. Tremendous advice, Angry Bill. Nobody else
has that take. You're the only one with that take.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
I mean, the hockey players are supposed to be tough.
If you got it, duck, you know, can we can
we get out?
Speaker 1 (18:27):
That's that's your guy. Yet I don't think.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
I don't think Coop. I don't think Coop's listening. I
don't think he must not listen up on him. What
do you think he does in there? He must not
listen to the show. I don't know what he does.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
But you didn't say hang up on him. It's your show.
You just want to do you want me to hang
up on him.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
It's kind of obvious that the Angry Bill probably should
not have been on the air.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
You went to it rather obvious. I went to I
didn't know. I don't know. I'm going to blind.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
You don't screen these guys. You just put their names up.
I don't know what they're going to talk about.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
I have no idea. It's like pot luck everything. It's
like Russian roulette going to the.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
Well.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Maybe if you screen them, they they would actually talk
about something. Let's go to andre in the Commonwealth. Hello, andre.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
Yea, how you doing. Bet?
Speaker 8 (19:13):
It's good to be good to be with you. It's
gonna have to go in a different direction than in
the previous call or you know, being yeah. But just
first of all, you know, uh, respect, thoughts, prayers and
love for the two hockey players, uh that that that
that that were killed in that in that accident. Not
(19:33):
a huge hockey fan by any stretch of the imagination.
But when we see something like that, So on a
serious note, you know, I know everybody knows it's late
night and people have their different takes on and forth,
you know, but that that's the situation where just anybody
that has any appreciation for sports has to be able
to EmPATH empathize and just show respect and love for
(19:54):
for for the family. So not to go to to somber,
but that that that had to be set now, Ben,
you started the show talking about what's going on with
Taylor Swift and mister Travis Kelsey, who's powering my fantasy
team to the championship this year. It's all on Kelsea's
back because I had a little snap boon in my
fantasy draft.
Speaker 9 (20:11):
What's not going to go hold it?
Speaker 2 (20:14):
So and we don't want to talk fantasy football. We're
not interested in that. But you're counting on your success
depending on a soon to be thirty five year old
tight end who has a game show, movie, gigs, and
a podcast.
Speaker 8 (20:32):
He's got all those things going on as well as
carrying my fantasy teams to the championship. Ben, I had
a scheduling snap for I'm not as young as I
used to be.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Ben always. So you did the auto you did the
auto draft.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Thing?
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Is that what you did the auto draft?
Speaker 8 (20:46):
You wanted to there the auto draft, but I didn't
put the draft on my calendar to give me the update.
So I showed up to the draft about twenty five
minutes late, and I missed the first four rounds to
the first The first four rounds were auto drafted, all Collins,
not bad in the first round Ramondre Stevens, and not
bad in the second round. Here's where it goes off
the rails fence. I got. They they Alto drafted me
(21:08):
a kicker and the dog on third round, Justin Tucker.
He's a good kicker, but still, and then they freaking
Aldo drafted me a defensive tackle on the fourth round.
Completely ruined my I guess I deserved it.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
Okay, So it's all on Chelsey.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
That's fun.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
And you would have been better if you had had
your dog Willis do your fantasy's draft.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
You would have been better off.
Speaker 8 (21:26):
I most certainly would have been better off, because you know,
actually dogs have been known to draft well. If you remember,
during the pandemic, Bill Belichick was on Nantucket, his dog
filled in for him during.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
That Yeah, it was it Nike. Was that his dog
Nike or something like that. Yeah, yeah, I remember that.
Speaker 8 (21:40):
I believe you know, the dog key. So Willis would
have definitely done a better but done a better job.
But in conclusion, Ben with there, how you opened up
the show. All news is good news for Travis Kelsey.
He's wrong. He's rolling in the door right now. So
that's you know, a person who thinks that they're married
to the celebrity is gonna end up probably in a
hooscal before a long with this, with this wildness, all
it all just adds to the popularity and the interest
(22:02):
which Roger Goodell and everybody else is cashing in on.
Say again, the hi right now, I don't know if
I'm high on light. I don't know if I'm high
on or maybe I'm high on the to the Kelsey's.
Maybe he can bring me into his entourage. I just
I just respect him from a distance. Never mind one
hundred million dollars that Amazon gives him his brother to
(22:24):
just sit down and be dudes. And you know, it's all,
it's all. It always goes to the bit, to the
good and the bottom line. So I don't I don't
think it has any negative impact, and Travis Kelsey seems
to be able to handle it all and stride. You know,
he's kind of level headed, level headed dude, So more
power to him and he's going to go in the
season with good spirits. Empower my fantasy team to victory.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
Event.
Speaker 8 (22:43):
Thank you so much taking the time.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Ah there it goes Andre and boy Justin in Cincinnati says,
this is the greatest back to back calls we've ever had.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Gas Tank.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
So gas Tank Bill says, please don't ever take a
call from angry Bille ever again. On the air, Supermarket
Steve says, regarding my story about my travels when I
was given on one one business trip no per diem,
but I could eat whatever I wanted on room service.
Supermarket Steve says, that's how we know that your boss
(23:19):
never actually met you. Back in the day, they actually
thought it was cheaper to let you eat all you want.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
At the hotel then give you a per diem. Yeah yeah,
I guess, oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Said He's like, well, I might give you a pre deem,
but we have to deal with hotels. You eat whatever
you want. You know, you just knock yourself out. And
I say, Okay, I'll do that. I'm down with that. Yeah,
Alf the alien opiner says, just what I'm here for?
Hot fantasy football draft talk.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Yeah, that's about right. Yeah. Are we not on the
pulse of the overnight consumer looking for audio content as
you try to stay awake on the highways and byways
of America? Yes?
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Absolutely, Well, this is like a Hallmark movie, a scene
from a Hallmark movie. Ricky Pearsall, who was shot in
the chest on Saturday, was back in the forty nine
er weight room forty eight hours after being shot in
the chest.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
He was out there doing his thing. So, now here's
my question. You can't bench press after you've been shot.
Don't you have to wait a little bit for everything
to heal there? You can't just like start doing mention.
So what was you doing?
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Think he was doing legs? You think he might have
been legged day there. I can't imagine he was doing
anything involving the chest. So it's kind of obvious there.
But he was back in the weight room. Isn't that
a scene from some Hollywood script where a football player
gets shot on a Saturday and then on Monday is
lifting weights. It's a bit of a flex it is
(24:50):
I did see the person that shot him. The seventeen
year old gangster has been charged as a juvenile with
attempted murder. However, there is a shot that he gets
charged as an adult. It is up to a judge.
Keep in mind this is in California, So it is
in California, which means he'll probably be let go and
(25:13):
be back out shooting people by next Wednesday. That's how
hats in and out, catch and release. It's like fishing
in California. The way they operate there, just wonderful.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
All smack on the hand. You know, don't do it again.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Don't please, don't do that again, and we'll make you
steal some more bullets or something like that, and then
boom they're out.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
They're back out doing their thing.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Fun Fact Time, Fun fact.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Time, Fun back Time, You're fun Fact. Someone named Tariq Schooble.
That's a pitcher for the Tiger's at a good year.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
This year, he leads the American League in wins, earn,
run average, and strikeouts, while Chris Sayle, formerly of the
Boston Baseball team, now the Atlanta Baseball team leads the
nash League in wins er and strikeouts.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Did you know there has never been a.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Season where a left handed pitcher won the Triple Crown
and both the American and the National League. And both
of these gentlemen are on track to do that, which
would make this the first year ever that the South
Pause dominated both the American and the National League. This
show is sponsored by DraftKings. Stay tuned because you'll hear
(26:26):
more about DraftKings and all it has to offer throughout
the show DraftKings. The Crown is yours. I have long
advocated behind the bully pulpit here at Fox Sports Radio
as a salary cap truther. The cap is crap. I
have said that is a myth. It is a fiction
used by franchises and as an excuse to get rid
(26:48):
of people they don't want to pinch pennies and players
that do not live up to the contract. It's all
of that right, the cap economics, it's all nonsense.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
It's for gaze. Now.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
The latest example of fun with numbers comes from the
forty nine ers. We started the hour talking about the
forty nine ers and how could they afford to pay
all these people? They Trent Williams the tackle, They handed
him a big contract eighty two million, forty.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Nine I believe guaranteed.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
And then Brandon Ayok got the contract the other day,
last Thursday. So these guys got paid. So how did
the Niners do it?
Speaker 4 (27:24):
Now?
Speaker 2 (27:24):
They just cook the books and yet again, mathematical gymnastics
wins out the forty nine ers and wide receiver Deebo
Samuel agreed to a restructured contract and prestow. All of
a sudden, they created sixteen point four million dollars in
cap space. The San Francisco football team.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
Doing what all these teams do.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
And I love the the moronic sports media people that
will die on the mountain, salary cap mountain, and they
don't understand.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
I'm my favorite example. When the Rams.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
Won the Super Bowl, I was told that they would
not be good for another decade because of the salary
cap purgatory, because they.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Bought that Super Bowl. I was told this. I told
this by idiots. They told me this.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
And the Rams had one bad year and we're back
in the playoffs last year and are now one of
the contenders in the NFC.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
They're not a top level contender, but they're one of
the contenders in.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
The NFC is go back to the phones. Blind Emmett,
the Seahawks fan, is up next. Hello, Blind Emmett.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
What's going on?
Speaker 8 (28:42):

Speaker 9 (28:42):
I'm ready for football season? Man, I can't wait. We
got a day last. I'm excited.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
Yeah, we're almost there.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
I can see it and I can almost hear it,
like I have a rapid radio.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
Did you know, blind Did you know rapid radios are
the official communications device of Fox Sports Radio? Did you
know that?
Speaker 3 (29:00):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (29:00):

Speaker 1 (29:02):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
And rapid radios are instant pushed to talk a walkie talkies,
offering national LTE coverage and no subscription or monthly fee.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Isn't that impressive?
Speaker 9 (29:13):
Yeah, that's pretty impressive. Then we don't, you know, see
that too often anymore.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
That's right.
Speaker 9 (29:17):
For the last time I heard a walkie talkie and
now we got them on fock sports radio.
Speaker 1 (29:21):

Speaker 1 (29:57):
But no, no, I don't buy them. Don't buy all
of them.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
Let other people by some you know same, No, no, no,
how can I How can I help you with?
Speaker 3 (30:05):
Then?
Speaker 9 (30:05):
I know I would call and talk about the NFL.
And now, first of all, you know, before I get
into my other prediction, me and a Mason the millennial
shout out to him and called out called the show
last hour. We have a thirty dollars bet on the
line of Seahawks Broncos. Obviously the Broncos fans, but you
got the Broncos. I got the Seahawks.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
Now, are you doing this straight up? Or do you
have points? Because Seattle is a sizable favorite at home?
Speaker 9 (30:28):
Oh yeah, he thought so. We're doing the money line.
But he thought that the Seattle like that the Broncos
were favored, and then we end up looking into it
and they're not because and he was like, I'll still
do it anyway, So he's he's risking it. Now we're
on money line though, but yeah, hopefully, I'm.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
Well, that's good for you.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
That's a good bet for you because uh Denver plus six,
that's pretty good. You're he's given up six points and
you're getting an extra six points.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
That's a advantage to you.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (30:57):
Well, I mean, we bet the money, don't. I just
need to win it. Can it can be three? Nothing
like the Raiders Vikings game last year. For all I care,
I get my thirty bucks.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
I mean, because there's no points, so you're you're looking
pretty good for that. Although my man Gino as a
favorite at home.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
It has not gone so well for Gino.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
They don't have the greatest record in the NFL as
a home favorite.
Speaker 9 (31:19):
I almost want to say screw it and just start
Sam Howe, like, not not not this week, but maybe
in a couple of weeks. You know, see how Gino
does and if he's not cracking like you should just.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Mean you're you're onto something there. I think you see
something there blind in it that they will go with
Sam Howe sooner than later they acquired it.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
I think it was pretty bad at times last year
for Washington.
Speaker 9 (31:40):
Yeah, you also have the worst offensive line. I forgot
what like the number was, but it was a crazy amount.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Of blaming fat people. You're fat shaming. You're fat shaming
a dude, you are, you're fat shaming. Most most sacks
are on the quarterback, not the offensive line.
Speaker 9 (31:55):
Most sacks oh okay, okay, but they are when you
hike the ball and you have no time. What are
you supposed to do?
Speaker 3 (32:01):
Man?
Speaker 1 (32:01):
But I think one way to look at it. All right,
I gotta go.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
I'm up against as you know, you're a broadcaster. I
have a network clock, and I must go. Here's the
Insta trivia and we'll do this quickly. Caleb Williams, We're

He's gonna join Blank as the only rookie quarterbacks to
start for the Bears in Week one in the Common Draft.

Speaker 1 (34:20):

Speaker 7 (34:20):
Na the Blonde Bomber Terry Bradshaw the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
Great Great Bears quarterback.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
No, the answer is Kyle Orton back at W five,
almost twenty years ago.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
Kyle Orton, the last rookie and.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
The only other rookie to start for the Bears in
the common draft year.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
Here we go, Here we go, Tyler? How about that
to the third degree? This is one big fan gets
grilled Kolo.
Speaker 11 (34:49):
According to a recent report, Jimmy Butler likes Brooklyn as
a free agent destination next summer if he's unable to
ink a long term extension with the Heat. Ben, do
you think they're gonna let him test the market?
Speaker 2 (35:02):
Well, pat Riley's getting grumpy here, and it does look
like I'm a big Jimmy Butler guy. It does look
like his tank is no longer full of gas. He's
getting to his mid thirties. He's played as a crash
test dummy. It really is heading that direction that Butler's
in his final days there with the Miami So I'm
gonna go yes next.
Speaker 11 (35:22):
Earlier this season, we saw Shoeo Tani become the sixth
member of the forty forty club. Well, we might actually
see a seventh right now. Jose Ramirez is on pace
for a forty forty season now. A couple of years ago,
Ramirez was named Baseball's least appreciated superstar, Ben, do you
think that's a title that he still holds today?
Speaker 3 (35:40):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (35:41):
Well, he plays off the grid. You know you're in Cleveland.
The nerds love him, right, the darksters love him. But
you know he's not a guy that's a household name
for the casual baseball fan. So if you look at
it that way, his numbers are elite. He's being paid elite.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
So I'll go yes next now, Ben.
Speaker 11 (36:00):
As some listeners may know, every year, there's a sheet
put up here in the studio with all of the
employee's predictions for the NFL season. Uh, the one that
interests me most is worst team category? Who are you
giving that to this year?
Speaker 1 (36:11):
Well, until Prunoa is the Carolina Panthers.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
I see no reason to think they're not gonna suck
and be terrible yet again.
Speaker 1 (36:18):
And the Giants will give him a run for them.
My Patriots.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
I mean, there's a bunch of teams neck and neck,
but Carolina is still head and shoulders in the suck
category above those other teams. With a wink and a
nod to the Patriots and the Giants there it is.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
Mallard of the third degree? How did we do pass
this edition? That is a win? You get putter on
the bark who Happy birthday Hawk Carrolson
Hello and welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our numb bird too. As we scoot on over
and talk about the forty nine Ers, the runner up
in the NFL. Back at the Super Bowl, Trent Williams
got paid. He says he eyed security and that Ricky
Piarsol getting shot was the main reason he wanted to
(00:23):
return sooner to the forty nine ers.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Do you believe him?
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Also, wide receiver Brandon Ayuk says ultimately he wanted to
be with the forty nine ers. Is that how you
read the room? Also, how are things going for the
NFL Global barnstorming tour plans for this weekend in Brazil
between the Eagles and Eagles and Packers playing on Friday
(00:47):
in Brazil. Will give an update on that, And look
beneath the service, all of that coming your way right
now in our number two Burning Money by the Bay Welco.
In the beginning of another hour of the Benmahlor Show,
we are in the air everywhere right next door as
(01:12):
we are sparkling blue Coast Stuckcoast, sporting the motor and
beyond on the vast and rhythmically powerful microphones of fsr
ammnating live from inside. We're thinking inside the Mystical and
Magical Radio Box. We're broadcasting live for the Tirak dot
(01:34):
Com studios tyraq dot com. Well help you get there
in unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free road hazard protection
at over ten thousand recommended in stallerstyraq dot com The
Way Tire Buying Show. Be I got an update from
Cowboy Drew. He's one of the gamers that's up all
(01:58):
night with us, and he spent about ten thousand hours
playing that farming game, so it's good to.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Have him alongside for all those hours.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
But our lead this hour is from the bay for
the last month of our lives, doing monotonous talk radio
every night. Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
That's how it sounds. We talk about the issues of
(02:26):
the day. It's one of the manchas we have on
this show.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
The news of the day. Some of you, you know
who you are, get annoyed. You send me nasty letters.
What are you doing?
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Why are you talking about that story? I don't care
about that story, Like we do the show only for
you get upset, you're anger, And I don't write back
to everybody. The people that I occasionally will write back to,
I'll say, listen, this is the way show works. We
start out every day with the blank canvas and whatever
the stories are people are talking about. We do broadcasting,
not narrow casting.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Right.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
We have worry about the show that we do that night,
and that's what we worry about.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
So for the last month, the forty nine ers have
been sparring with a couple of their key players, the
reigning runner up in the NFL, and they ended one
of those long sagas signing Brandon Ayuk to a big extension.
So they took care of that, and now they have
(03:18):
taken care of their other high profile contractor fluffle. You
didn't hear about it with not a lot of fanfare.
Perhaps you missed it. The left tackle Trent Williams, he's back.
Trent Williams has returned to the forty nine ers, ending
his training camp hole that Williams is now signed through
(03:39):
twenty twenty six, but he did not have any guaranteed
money he had been signed already had a couple of
years remaining, but no guaranteed money.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
And so now he complained about that and said that's
not fair. I want more money.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
So they gave him more money, and he said that
security was the key, say the security to Volta League.
That was the quote that he gave to start about security.
Also claimed that the random shooting of his teammate Ricky
pearsall right through the chest, but he survived and he's
(04:16):
gonna be okay. Ricky Pearsoll, that shooting helped motivate Trent
Williams to end the stand up. So those are the
two talking points that I came across as I was
perusing this story, and I thought that was interesting. So
let us discuss the question the mammoth left tackle. Trent
Williams says that he eyed security and that rookie teammate
(04:39):
Ricky Pearsoll getting shot randomly on the streets of San
Francisco main reason he wanted to return sooner to the
forty nine ers.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Do you believe him? Do you believe him?
Speaker 3 (04:54):
So?
Speaker 2 (04:54):
I've got the Queen granulated sugar and sparkling jewelry and
we will combine all of these things together, and we
are going to sail off to the wild.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Blue yonder, is what we're going to do. So, Na Bar, Yeah,
it's a nice story. Do I believe the story?
Speaker 2 (05:18):
No, we are going to go with stories that are nonsense.
For one thousand, alex Oh. For two, my spidy like
sense is telling me that Trent Williams did not sign
because of security, and he certainly didn't sign because of
his teammate getting shot over the weekend.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
That is a sandwich.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Is a bunch of balogney, bunch of money Trent Williams.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
And I'm not sure. I'm very clear.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Trent Williams has earned one hundred and sixty eight million
dollars just on the field. Now, offensive linemen don't make
a lot of money off the field, I get that,
But one hundred and sixty eight million on field earnings
during his career outside of Bernie Madoff being his financial advisor.
You've got security, right, You've got security. Generations of your family,
(06:10):
your fifth and sixth cousins have security if you if
you want. So, this was about one thing and one
thing only. The Queen Aretha Franklin, the Queen of Soul
and Lorena played at last hour, riespect it's all about
that respect.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
All I'm asking for a little respect.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Garanteed money, that is the love language of pro football.
Guaranteed money, It's magical. And from his perspective, he didn't
have any guaranteed money left, so abracadabra shazam, he complains,
he sits out, and all of a sudden, the Niners
somehow they have a bake sale and they come up
(06:55):
with forty eight million dollars in fully guaranteed money at
signing also gets a twenty five point six million signing
bonus because he lives plays in California.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
I think he lives there in the offseason.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
So Trent Williams, once you factor in California tax, federal tax,
it's about twenty five dollars, but he did start with
twenty five point six in terms of the signing bonus.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Now page two. Staying in the Bay, Brandon.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Iyuk, who was in a tough spot and certainly seemed
like he wanted to play somewhere else on his contract negotiation.
He gave a quote this week saying quote, I'm not
going to lie. He said, I made it a little
more difficult.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Than it needed to be.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
In the end, however, wide receiver Brandon iox says, ultimately
he wanted to be with the forty nine ers.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
So here we go again.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Wanted to be with the forty nine ers. Is that
how you read the room on this one? So yeah,
maybe my reading skills are down. I don't know it's possible,
but I'm gonna shake my head no on this.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
I file this.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
One in the bag of granulated sugar. This is what's
known as sugar coating reality. That Brandon Iuk's first choice
was to play for, of all teams, the Washington Commanders.
Good luck on that, but he also was interested in
playing for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
We know that he did not want to.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Play for the Patriots or the Cleveland Browns. Can't blame
him on that, but the preferred choices were Washington and
Pittsburgh and his guy Jaden Daniels. They go back to
Arizona State together in DC, and you got Mike Tomlin
a person of interest for Brandon Iuck in Pittsburgh. Now,
(08:43):
in the end, the forty nine Ers came this close
to making his dreams come true, at least trading him
to Pittsburgh as we hear from a little birdie that
they saw one in a miss. They contacted the Broncos
tried to work out a three team trade. They wanted
to get Courtland Sutton out of Denver and then they
(09:03):
were gonna acquire some draft picks from Pittsburgh. They're gonna
move some things around there. There was a snaffo. They
didn't work out the compensation with Denver, so that trade
never happened and as a result, that trade was off
the table. The Commander's never fully engaged. So long story short,
Brandon Auks he got tired of sitting around. He wanted
(09:24):
to play and the only way to play was to
go to the forty nine ers, and so he stayed
with the forty nine ers.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
And now they're moving some other stuff around.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Our final point a Mallor Show follow up, International Meta
Mystery the Department. How are things going for the NFL
Global Barnstorming Initiative as they are set to land in Brazil.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
So let's see.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
I get the Eagles and Packers. They're gonna play on Friday.
It's on Peacock, so you can watch Benny versus the
Penny and the and you can stay on peacock and
watch the game. So that's on Friday in Salpolo, Brazil. Now,
both teams have been fully debriefed, fully debriefed on the
dues and the don'ts when you get boots on the
(10:14):
ground there in Brazil.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
And let me point out that when they.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Put those boots on the ground in Brazil, they might
as well be fitted with sparkling jewelry. I recommend a
nice shiny ankle bracelet to monitor where they're at, because
essentially house arrest, house arrest. Here's why you've got, according
to media reports, wild puffs of smoke in that part
(10:41):
of Brazil from the Amazon burning up their Amazon wildfires.
You have a political brew haa haa between the political
leaders of Brazil and Elon Musk which involves Tesla and X,
the social media platf form where you're banned if you
(11:02):
can't use it in Brazil. The players have been strongly advised,
if not ordered, in hush tones, to not leave their
hotel rooms in Brazil.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
In fact, I'm told the Eagles are so paranoid.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
They're landing at the airport there in that part of
Brazil and they're going to a hotel right next to
the airport because that's deemed the safe zone. The airport
is protected, although they packers are supposed to staying at
a hotel.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
In the city.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Players were told not to respond to any messages they
might or might not get on their phones, which I
think is just common anywhere any odd messages. Players also
have been advised by their agents and whatnot to not
bring families, many of them not bringing any family members
with them. And as an added bonus, even if the
(11:50):
NFL is able to make this game happen without a hitch,
the national holiday for Brazil, the equivalent we are told
of the fourth of July, is on Saturday, September seventh,
the day after the game, and I filled down a
spider hole online and one Doom and Gloom media outfit
(12:10):
was reporting major upheaval likely rioting in Brazil in that
part of Brazil on Saturday. So in other words, you go,
you play the game, and you just run to the
airport right run to the airport and get the f
out of Dodge and get back to the States right
after the game. Don't even shower, you don't even need
(12:33):
to shower, just get back on the plane with body
odor a whole plane smells like bo and just get
the heck out of there. It is other than that,
things are going great. It is the Ben Mahler Show.
If you would like to be part of this, you
can join us. Speakeasy rules are in effect, at least
for now. We'll see if that continues, but for now
(12:54):
they are in effect. A whole Mark Movie of the Week,
it's the script for a Hallmark Movie of the Week,
and also more fun with cooking the books. We'll get
to all of that. We'll take your calls. Also on
X not banned here. We use it a lot during
(13:14):
the show at Ben Mahler. We'll get to all that,
and we will.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Do it next.

our executive producer. He is manning the phones, but he's
(14:15):
more than just a call screener. He's the liar, liar
and the menace of the Fox Sports Radio network. It's
the Coop the Loop, Justin Cooper and he's at U
H bronco.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Fan my Way. Bleeping white boy.
Speaker 7 (14:28):
Yeah, bleeping is the keyword there at out live from
the tirerack dot Com Fox Sports Radio Studios, it's Ben Mallor.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Bleep, but he bleep bleep. As we are rolling through
the overnight.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Later this hour we'll have Mallard the third degree.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
I am laughing so hard.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
That is comedy. What is going on here? What? What? What?
You're the music director Lorreno? What happened here?
Speaker 2 (14:58):
I asked for the clean It doesn't like so there's
not a there's not a radio edit.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
That's that's the worst radio edit of all time. I
like that.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
I just win in doubt, bleep it out. That's the
way to go outstanding man.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
All Right, anyway, we'll.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Press on here. Mickey in state forty eight. That's the
Grand Canyon State, he says, great monologue. The birds and
packers also need to avoid unmarked cabs in Brazil, as
the Simpsons taught us years ago when they went to
Brazil and Homer was kidnapped for ransom. That's good knowledge
of the Simpsons back in the day. Yeah, just go
(15:41):
to the hotel, don't leave. Although I gotta tell you,
in the past some business trips I went on, I
never did anything. I just stayed in the hotel. I say,
there was one radio gig that I had where they
said they would cover all of my hotel expenses. They
wouldn't give me per diem, but if I ordered room
(16:02):
service they would cover that. So I just stayed in
the hotel all day and ate room service because they
said they said they would cover.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
I was like, all right, Yeah, that was back when
I was in my bed.
Speaker 7 (16:11):
How did that? How did that go? When you got
back and you had to submit some receipts.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Well, they covered, they covered the bill.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
They were a little agasted at the amount of food
that I ate at the you know, I figured a
couple of meals and then you have dessert, and you
have the snacks and all that, and I they had
a deal with the hotel, so they thought that that
would be the way to way to go. But I
made I made the most of that deal. I definitely
made the most of that deal. Andy, I'll go to
the calls.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Why not.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Board has not been reset in a while. But let's
see if anyone's here, Keg drinking Steve. Hello, Keg drinking Steve.
It would appear that he's not there, and it's unfortunate
that there's no communication.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
So all right, let's go to let's see your angry Bill. Hello,
angry Bill.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
That's amazing you go to me after you can't get
somebody else on. But that's okay, Ben, I love waiting
for you. There's nothing else I liked my life waiting
for you.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
The thing we've learned about you, Angry Bill, is that
despite the amount of time that you spend calling the show,
you have been able to maintain a very low level
of knowledge when it comes to sports.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
And that's impressive. I am impressed by that, Angry Bill.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Well. I like your sarcasm and it's it's very nice,
and I absorb it. But what I want to talk
about is these athletes having such problems. This forty nine
or guy gets shot, the two hockey players in my
home state of New Jersey get run over. I mean,
this is getting out of hand. It's a bad day.
(17:54):
And heck, when a guy can't drink five or six
beers and two bicycles stay the hell out of his way.
You want to get drunk, okay, and you want to
drive home, keep your bikes off the damn road. I
drive every day on the roads. These bicycles are a
pain in the ass. Okay.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
That's a tremendous advice. Tremendous advice, Angry Bill. Nobody else
has that take. You're the only one with that take.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
I mean, the hockey players are supposed to be tough.
If you got it, duck, you know, can we can
we get out?
Speaker 1 (18:27):
That's that's your guy. Yet I don't think.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
I don't think Coop. I don't think Coop's listening. I
don't think he must not listen up on him. What
do you think he does in there? He must not
listen to the show. I don't know what he does.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
But you didn't say hang up on him. It's your show.
You just want to do you want me to hang
up on him.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
It's kind of obvious that the Angry Bill probably should
not have been on the air.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
You went to it rather obvious. I went to I
didn't know. I don't know. I'm going to blind.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
You don't screen these guys. You just put their names up.
I don't know what they're going to talk about.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
I have no idea. It's like pot luck everything. It's
like Russian roulette going to the.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
Well.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Maybe if you screen them, they they would actually talk
about something. Let's go to andre in the Commonwealth. Hello, andre.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
Yea, how you doing. Bet?
Speaker 8 (19:13):
It's good to be good to be with you. It's
gonna have to go in a different direction than in
the previous call or you know, being yeah. But just
first of all, you know, uh, respect, thoughts, prayers and
love for the two hockey players, uh that that that
that that were killed in that in that accident. Not
(19:33):
a huge hockey fan by any stretch of the imagination.
But when we see something like that, So on a
serious note, you know, I know everybody knows it's late
night and people have their different takes on and forth,
you know, but that that's the situation where just anybody
that has any appreciation for sports has to be able
to EmPATH empathize and just show respect and love for
(19:54):
for for the family. So not to go to to somber,
but that that that had to be set now, Ben,
you started the show talking about what's going on with
Taylor Swift and mister Travis Kelsey, who's powering my fantasy
team to the championship this year. It's all on Kelsea's
back because I had a little snap boon in my
fantasy draft.
Speaker 9 (20:11):
What's not going to go hold it?
Speaker 2 (20:14):
So and we don't want to talk fantasy football. We're
not interested in that. But you're counting on your success
depending on a soon to be thirty five year old
tight end who has a game show, movie, gigs, and
a podcast.
Speaker 8 (20:32):
He's got all those things going on as well as
carrying my fantasy teams to the championship. Ben, I had
a scheduling snap for I'm not as young as I
used to be.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Ben always. So you did the auto you did the
auto draft.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Thing?
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Is that what you did the auto draft?
Speaker 8 (20:46):
You wanted to there the auto draft, but I didn't
put the draft on my calendar to give me the update.
So I showed up to the draft about twenty five
minutes late, and I missed the first four rounds to
the first The first four rounds were auto drafted, all Collins,
not bad in the first round Ramondre Stevens, and not
bad in the second round. Here's where it goes off
the rails fence. I got. They they Alto drafted me
(21:08):
a kicker and the dog on third round, Justin Tucker.
He's a good kicker, but still, and then they freaking
Aldo drafted me a defensive tackle on the fourth round.
Completely ruined my I guess I deserved it.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
Okay, So it's all on Chelsey.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
That's fun.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
And you would have been better if you had had
your dog Willis do your fantasy's draft.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
You would have been better off.
Speaker 8 (21:26):
I most certainly would have been better off, because you know,
actually dogs have been known to draft well. If you remember,
during the pandemic, Bill Belichick was on Nantucket, his dog
filled in for him during.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
That Yeah, it was it Nike. Was that his dog
Nike or something like that. Yeah, yeah, I remember that.
Speaker 8 (21:40):
I believe you know, the dog key. So Willis would
have definitely done a better but done a better job.
But in conclusion, Ben with there, how you opened up
the show. All news is good news for Travis Kelsey.
He's wrong. He's rolling in the door right now. So
that's you know, a person who thinks that they're married
to the celebrity is gonna end up probably in a
hooscal before a long with this, with this wildness, all
it all just adds to the popularity and the interest
(22:02):
which Roger Goodell and everybody else is cashing in on.
Say again, the hi right now, I don't know if
I'm high on light. I don't know if I'm high
on or maybe I'm high on the to the Kelsey's.
Maybe he can bring me into his entourage. I just
I just respect him from a distance. Never mind one
hundred million dollars that Amazon gives him his brother to
(22:24):
just sit down and be dudes. And you know, it's all,
it's all. It always goes to the bit, to the
good and the bottom line. So I don't I don't
think it has any negative impact, and Travis Kelsey seems
to be able to handle it all and stride. You know,
he's kind of level headed, level headed dude, So more
power to him and he's going to go in the
season with good spirits. Empower my fantasy team to victory.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
Event.
Speaker 8 (22:43):
Thank you so much taking the time.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Ah there it goes Andre and boy Justin in Cincinnati says,
this is the greatest back to back calls we've ever had.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Gas Tank.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
So gas Tank Bill says, please don't ever take a
call from angry Bille ever again. On the air, Supermarket
Steve says, regarding my story about my travels when I
was given on one one business trip no per diem,
but I could eat whatever I wanted on room service.
Supermarket Steve says, that's how we know that your boss
(23:19):
never actually met you. Back in the day, they actually
thought it was cheaper to let you eat all you want.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
At the hotel then give you a per diem. Yeah yeah,
I guess, oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Said He's like, well, I might give you a pre deem,
but we have to deal with hotels. You eat whatever
you want. You know, you just knock yourself out. And
I say, Okay, I'll do that. I'm down with that. Yeah,
Alf the alien opiner says, just what I'm here for?
Hot fantasy football draft talk.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Yeah, that's about right. Yeah. Are we not on the
pulse of the overnight consumer looking for audio content as
you try to stay awake on the highways and byways
of America? Yes?
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Absolutely, Well, this is like a Hallmark movie, a scene
from a Hallmark movie. Ricky Pearsall, who was shot in
the chest on Saturday, was back in the forty nine
er weight room forty eight hours after being shot in
the chest.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
He was out there doing his thing. So, now here's
my question. You can't bench press after you've been shot.
Don't you have to wait a little bit for everything
to heal there? You can't just like start doing mention.
So what was you doing?
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Think he was doing legs? You think he might have
been legged day there. I can't imagine he was doing
anything involving the chest. So it's kind of obvious there.
But he was back in the weight room. Isn't that
a scene from some Hollywood script where a football player
gets shot on a Saturday and then on Monday is
lifting weights. It's a bit of a flex it is
(24:50):
I did see the person that shot him. The seventeen
year old gangster has been charged as a juvenile with
attempted murder. However, there is a shot that he gets
charged as an adult. It is up to a judge.
Keep in mind this is in California, So it is
in California, which means he'll probably be let go and
(25:13):
be back out shooting people by next Wednesday. That's how
hats in and out, catch and release. It's like fishing
in California. The way they operate there, just wonderful.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
All smack on the hand. You know, don't do it again.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Don't please, don't do that again, and we'll make you
steal some more bullets or something like that, and then
boom they're out.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
They're back out doing their thing.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Fun Fact Time, Fun fact.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Time, Fun back Time, You're fun Fact. Someone named Tariq Schooble.
That's a pitcher for the Tiger's at a good year.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
This year, he leads the American League in wins, earn,
run average, and strikeouts, while Chris Sayle, formerly of the
Boston Baseball team, now the Atlanta Baseball team leads the
nash League in wins er and strikeouts.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Did you know there has never been a.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Season where a left handed pitcher won the Triple Crown
and both the American and the National League. And both
of these gentlemen are on track to do that, which
would make this the first year ever that the South
Pause dominated both the American and the National League. This
show is sponsored by DraftKings. Stay tuned because you'll hear
(26:26):
more about DraftKings and all it has to offer throughout
the show DraftKings. The Crown is yours. I have long
advocated behind the bully pulpit here at Fox Sports Radio
as a salary cap truther. The cap is crap. I
have said that is a myth. It is a fiction
used by franchises and as an excuse to get rid
(26:48):
of people they don't want to pinch pennies and players
that do not live up to the contract. It's all
of that right, the cap economics, it's all nonsense.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
It's for gaze. Now.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
The latest example of fun with numbers comes from the
forty nine ers. We started the hour talking about the
forty nine ers and how could they afford to pay
all these people? They Trent Williams the tackle, They handed
him a big contract eighty two million, forty.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Nine I believe guaranteed.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
And then Brandon Ayok got the contract the other day,
last Thursday. So these guys got paid. So how did
the Niners do it?
Speaker 4 (27:24):
Now?
Speaker 2 (27:24):
They just cook the books and yet again, mathematical gymnastics
wins out the forty nine ers and wide receiver Deebo
Samuel agreed to a restructured contract and prestow. All of
a sudden, they created sixteen point four million dollars in
cap space. The San Francisco football team.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
Doing what all these teams do.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
And I love the the moronic sports media people that
will die on the mountain, salary cap mountain, and they
don't understand.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
I'm my favorite example. When the Rams.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
Won the Super Bowl, I was told that they would
not be good for another decade because of the salary
cap purgatory, because they.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Bought that Super Bowl. I was told this. I told
this by idiots. They told me this.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
And the Rams had one bad year and we're back
in the playoffs last year and are now one of
the contenders in the NFC.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
They're not a top level contender, but they're one of
the contenders in.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
The NFC is go back to the phones. Blind Emmett,
the Seahawks fan, is up next. Hello, Blind Emmett.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
What's going on?
Speaker 8 (28:42):
Man?
Speaker 9 (28:42):
I'm ready for football season? Man, I can't wait. We
got a day last. I'm excited.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
Yeah, we're almost there.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
I can see it and I can almost hear it,
like I have a rapid radio.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
Did you know, blind Did you know rapid radios are
the official communications device of Fox Sports Radio? Did you
know that?
Speaker 3 (29:00):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (29:00):
Yeah, man, that's old news.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
And rapid radios are instant pushed to talk a walkie talkies,
offering national LTE coverage and no subscription or monthly fee.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Isn't that impressive?
Speaker 9 (29:13):
Yeah, that's pretty impressive. Then we don't, you know, see
that too often anymore.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
That's right.
Speaker 9 (29:17):
For the last time I heard a walkie talkie and
now we got them on fock sports radio.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Everyone loves these walkie talkies.
Speaker 2 (29:23):

Oh, I'm gonna go buy it out. I'm gonna go
buy it that whole website. I mean gotta support the fun.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
But no, no, I don't buy them. Don't buy all
of them.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
Let other people by some you know same, No, no, no,
how can I How can I help you with?
Speaker 3 (30:05):
Then?
Speaker 9 (30:05):
I know I would call and talk about the NFL.
And now, first of all, you know, before I get
into my other prediction, me and a Mason the millennial
shout out to him and called out called the show
last hour. We have a thirty dollars bet on the
line of Seahawks Broncos. Obviously the Broncos fans, but you
got the Broncos. I got the Seahawks.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
Now, are you doing this straight up? Or do you
have points? Because Seattle is a sizable favorite at home?
Speaker 9 (30:28):
Oh yeah, he thought so. We're doing the money line.
But he thought that the Seattle like that the Broncos
were favored, and then we end up looking into it
and they're not because and he was like, I'll still
do it anyway, So he's he's risking it. Now we're
on money line though, but yeah, hopefully, I'm.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
Well, that's good for you.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
That's a good bet for you because uh Denver plus six,
that's pretty good. You're he's given up six points and
you're getting an extra six points.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
That's a advantage to you.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (30:57):
Well, I mean, we bet the money, don't. I just
need to win it. Can it can be three? Nothing
like the Raiders Vikings game last year. For all I care,
I get my thirty bucks.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
I mean, because there's no points, so you're you're looking
pretty good for that. Although my man Gino as a
favorite at home.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
It has not gone so well for Gino.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
They don't have the greatest record in the NFL as
a home favorite.
Speaker 9 (31:19):
I almost want to say screw it and just start
Sam Howe, like, not not not this week, but maybe
in a couple of weeks. You know, see how Gino
does and if he's not cracking like you should just.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Mean you're you're onto something there. I think you see
something there blind in it that they will go with
Sam Howe sooner than later they acquired it.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
I think it was pretty bad at times last year
for Washington.
Speaker 9 (31:40):
Yeah, you also have the worst offensive line. I forgot
what like the number was, but it was a crazy amount.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Of blaming fat people. You're fat shaming. You're fat shaming
a dude, you are, you're fat shaming. Most most sacks
are on the quarterback, not the offensive line.
Speaker 9 (31:55):
Most sacks oh okay, okay, but they are when you
hike the ball and you have no time. What are
you supposed to do?
Speaker 3 (32:01):
Man?
Speaker 1 (32:01):
But I think one way to look at it. All right,
I gotta go.
Speaker 2 (32:06):

have a network clock, and I must go. Here's the

Well, pat Riley's getting grumpy here, and it does look
like I'm a big Jimmy Butler guy. It does look
like his tank is no longer full of gas. He's
getting to his mid thirties. He's played as a crash
test dummy. It really is heading that direction that Butler's
