Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our number two. We're ready to
go in hour two on this labor day as we
pass the baton in the audio game to the NFL.
Your thoughts on the big story of the weekend forty
nine or wide receiver Ricky Piersoll shot over the weekend
in downtown San Francisco. Also, how crazy is it that
(00:22):
Ricky Piersoll was released from the hospital the day after
being shot in the chest? And will this lead to
any meaningful changes in San Francisco. We know that famous
people are more important than normal people, so will there
be any real changes because of this? We'll talk about
all that and a whole lot more. Is we go
the extra mile right now in our number two? A
(00:45):
weekend unlike any other, at least recently in the NFL. Welcome,
in the beginning of another hour of the Ben Malor Show.
We are in the air everywhere, beside one another, as
we are by the shoreline, coast to coast, border, the
(01:09):
border and beyond on the vast and beautifully powerful microphones
of FSR am monating live from the path as we
are on the warpath. We're broadcasting live for the tire
rack dot Com studios, tire rackt dot com, We'll help
you get there and unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free
(01:29):
road hazard protection and over ten thousand recommended installs. Ty
rack dot com the way tirebind should be in no
matter whether it's a holiday or not. The core base
of the Malad militia, they show up to work. And
do we have to pay alf the alien opiner a
little bit extra here? Mark in the Bay I don't know.
I mean with these guys, do they demand more money?
(01:51):
Mister nice guy? I mean we have to look into that.
I don't know if we have the budget. But here
we are united again on a Labor day, and oh
what a weekend it was. Play the hits, mall man,
Play the hits, all right, We'll play the hits. And
we start out in the Bay Area, and what a
story that was bouncing around. We were watching the college
(02:13):
football and our lead story this hour go over the
news of the weekend takes us that would be northern
California a week before the curtain goes off. Oh, football,
the biggest story, biggest story in the NFL is not
on the field. It's not a contract extension either. I
(02:33):
assume you've heard by now, but who knows. Maybe not.
The story involving the crime blodder forty nine or rookie
wide receiver Ricky Piersoll recovering after he was shot in
the chest happened over the weekend. It was an attempted
robbery right in the heart of San Francisco. Some underage
(02:53):
punk is in custing for the crime. A scumbag, apparently,
it's such a stumbling, bumbling loser. He shot himself while
attempting to rob the NFL player, now Piersol, who's twenty three.
The most amazing part of the story is he was
released from San Francisco General Hospital Trauma Center on Sunday
(03:17):
as I say, you go, head, you're done, get out
of here. You're good to go. He had been listed
in fair condition. So let us discuss the question, what
are your thoughts on the forty nine er receiver Ricky
Pearsall and the shooting that took place over the weekend.
So I've got guardian Abra, Cadabra and Guarden and we
(03:40):
will combine all of these things together and we are
going to make happy days. Happy days. What we're gonna
make so number W Yeah, definitely happy days when it
is not your day to die. Your time is not done.
(04:04):
You've got a little more time. You never know when
your time's gonna be here, right, You never know. It's
in the great mystery of life. It was clearly not
his day to check out of the mortal coil. Here
now we can debate why this happened the way it happened.
Was there some kind of higher power than intervene? Was
it just dumb luck? Depends on your belief system. But
regardless of that, this much I know, whether you believe
(04:29):
in higher power, whether you believe in just the dumb luck,
everything broke right. You had a cornacopia of things that
could have gone the other way, and you're dead when
you get shot in the chest. See, I made this mistake.
I felled down this rabbit hole of the statistics on
(04:50):
people that get shot in the chest, because I was like,
this seems very odd to me. I recall people getting
shot in the chest and not walking to the ambulance.
It seemed like that happened all that. So when you
get shot in the chest, according to the rabbit hole
that I fell down, you've got to worry about the
Big three. You've got these life threatening injuries from gunshot wounds.
(05:11):
The first part of it is obviously the big one
right in the middle of the heart, right but you've
got the major arteries in the heart which are all
tied together, and that is that's it. You're done. Boom boom, goodbye.
Injury to the spine, now that doesn't necessarily kill you,
but it often results in nerve damage and paralysis. So
(05:34):
you got that. So that's the second wing of this.
And then the third part of it is, well, you
need to breathe, and you got your lungs, and so
if you get shot in the chest, chances are you
gonna hit your heart, your arteries, your spine, or your lungs,
and the lungs can be fatal. The only way you
can survive that is if you immediately get medical attention
right away. But the odds of that happening are slim
and none. But outside of that, there are some minor
(05:58):
muscular scale issues that can occur that can cause significant damage.
But Ricky Pearsoll had a guardian angel looking out for
him here. He didn't hit anything that the gunman did not,
I mean shot him in a chest, did not hit
the heart. He missed the arteries. He missed, the spine,
(06:20):
the lungs, all of it, and not a single one
of those was hit. As nuts now, page two here,
how crazy is it that the day after all this
went down, the NFL play, Ricky Pearsoll was released from
the hospital day after being shot. So the whole thing
is bananas, right, I mean, it's one thing you get shot,
(06:43):
it's the video of it. Everyone's got an eyewitness account
of what happened. So within seconds there's video that was
recorded by witnesses showing pearsall shirtless with a large chest
wound because he got shot in the chest, walking himself
to the ambulance. La la la la la la la
la la la la. And normally when that happens, not
(07:06):
to be morbid. You end up in a body bag.
You don't end up just walking through an ambulance. But
this was an abra cadabra situation. And this is the
epitome of the magic bullet that missed every vital organ.
I mean, and the trajectory was just perfect. Right. If
the trajectory had been the other way, we've got a
(07:27):
much different situation here At zigged and zagged around the lungs,
the heart, the backbone, all the major blood vessels, all that. Now,
try doing that again. What are the odds that happens?
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Now?
Speaker 1 (07:41):
The result would be what probably much much much worse,
much worse. Uh, you know, touch and go or by
bye lights out at that point, now, final point. I've
seen some big think pieces written online that this will
be a point of demarcation at the civil unrests or
(08:02):
the just crime that has been run rampant through northern
California is going to change that because this is a
famous person. People don't care when normal people are shot,
but when famous people are shot, that gets people's attention. Right,
They're shootings every day in San Francisco. We don't talk
about them. We're obviously talking about this because it involves
(08:25):
an NFL player and we do a sports radio show.
But will this lead to any serious changes in San Francisco?
Some have said this is the wake up call, and
I would advise you not to hold your breath because
there are people who are dug in in their positions
that have set this up to be the way it is.
And so the Bay Area political climate is pro crime.
(08:49):
They might tell you they're not, but they are right.
They've turned parts of the bay and I love the
parts of the Bay I do. It's beautiful. I've been
there many times. I have family that lives in the
Bay Area. Hate the giants, but just beautiful places to visit.
But at the safest place. It's part of it seems
like a demilitarized zone in the Bay Area. And this
(09:10):
Ricky Piersoll thing happened in broad daylight at three point
thirty in the afternoon on a Saturday in Union Square
in that area where, by the way, there is a
great chocolate shop in Union Square. Highly recommend I wouldn't
go there right now, but my god, the gar A
Deli chocolate shop down there. Waait man that cookie Sunday.
(09:33):
That's the way to go. But it wasn't in the
point is, it wasn't in the middle of the night.
It wasn't in some back alley. From what we understand,
this was not some shady situation. This was just Ricky
Piersoll out doing some shopping. I guess he didn't get
the memo about the crime in San Francisco. He's not
doing some shopping and ended up getting in the wrong
(09:53):
place at the wrong time and got shot.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
But he was.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Alone according to the initial report. We'll find out if
there's more to the story. But he was alone carrying
shopping bags to his car. Did this young loser follow him,
find out what he was buying and kind of follow
him around? I don't know. But again to get back
to the question, will this lead any meaningful change? I'm
gonna go know, and I hope I'm wrong. I hope
(10:17):
that this does lead to some change, because we treat
famous people better than regular people. But I just look
at these empty political hacks, and they all say the
right things, and then they continue down the same garden path. Right,
they'll tap dance like a ballerina. They all have plausible deniability,
they all blame somebody else, and so nothing ends up
really change. We'll see if that is different. I would
(10:42):
not hold my breath regarding this situation, but we'll find
out as we go forward. It is the Ben Malor Show.
We are laboring away on a labor day. Normally we
have speakeasy rules, but there are no speakeasy rules, so

they don't use that coach speak, people lose their mind.
It happened yet again. We'll give it the latest one
that we'll do it next.

Speaker 2 (14:38):
Your cords are not securely connected or something?
Speaker 1 (14:41):
And be a breeze debut as a co host on
the show and not only producer about the co host.
Let's see what do we have here?
Speaker 8 (14:49):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Page down? A lot of the boys checking in. Stevie
Meatballs from Florida says A. As far as the shooting,
he says, it had to be a low caliber bullet.
Does it say sounds like a twenty two? Says Stevie Meatballs.
If so, he should get a catch twenty two tag too,
being that he's a wide receiver. I didn't see the caliber.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
I didn't see what caliber was. Alf the Alien Pliner says, Hey, Ben,
if you paid me a little extra, I wouldn't be
on my way to work on a holiday. I'm just saying.
I'm just saying, well, Alf, check with the business side
and we'll hopefully get you some more money. Bill's monstrosses
good second hour monologue. It's a sad story. I think
(15:36):
Bill's there. It's a sad story. What happened to Ricky Pearsall?
It was said the shooter was injured. Yeah, he apparently
shot himself, recording to the story the early reports which
are often wrong. These early stories are usually completely wrong. Anyway,
I wonder if that's where they treated at the same
emergency department and hop yeah, I think they did. I
(15:57):
think they took them both to the same say hospital,
He says. Bill Bill's Monster wants the mallid militia to
know that he works a new schedule. He'll be getting
off work at two am now and we'll be calling
in way more often. So we'd like to alert all
the affiliates downline. Justin in Cincinnati says Sparty would have
done all four hours on the shooting. No comment on that.
(16:19):
Who else do we have? Page dam We'll skip over that.
Stuck in Sacramento, says, way to get on the A
plus plus malad monologue. Proof that this blank of Northern
California crime is in flipping daylight shows that Nor cal
criminals are stupid. In the Promised Land where I'm from.
In Venice, they do it in the middle of the
(16:42):
night and they don't shoot themselves, he points out there.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Yeah, I also saw goes to show you how brazen
they are.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
That's a good word. I you only hear that on
news reports. Brazen criminal way.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
I'm looking at a I'm looking at a photo of
the crime scene. Yeah, and there say double decker bus
tour going by. I'm seeking that people. They got quite
a view of that. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Now, do give mister nasty credit. He is defending the
bay area. He's bothered. He's doing what aboutism to defend
the Bay Area. So that's one way to approach it.
I guess if that works for you, that'll change things.
That'll make things better for sure. All right, let's go
to the phones and we'll say hello to Enie Meanie,
miney mo. Let's go to Jacob, who is in San Francisco. Hello, Jacob, welcome,
(17:35):
Hey Ben, can you hear me? I can hear you
loud and clear, Jacob, what's up?
Speaker 3 (17:40):
Well? First of all, shout out to the producer there,
because I've called many times before and it's the quickest
I've got on. I just wanted to give a message
to Ricky Piersall. I hope he covers appropriately. He is
from Tempe, Arizona. I would maybe caution him he could
go on a shopping spring in some other areas of
the Bay Area that are a little bit more Let's
say safe, Where would.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
You recommend he might be listening right now, Jacob, where's
a safe place to go shopping and spend your way?
Speaker 3 (18:05):
You know, right by his uh? Great, the Great, the
Great Stadium of Santa Clara. Santa Clara forty niners is
actually the teen place for And there's putting a shopping
shopping malls down there. Stanford has one around there. So
I would recommend anything in San Jose Santa Clair area.
Maybe he should stay out of San Francisco with his
rolex on his wrist?
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Now do we know what he was shopping for? I
didn't see what he was shopping.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
For, and I don't. I think the report said he
was leaving a signing. The other thing is, uh, why
does he not have security? Why is the team winning
this guy walk around downtown San Francisco in the security? Yeah,
I don't. I don't.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Yeah, I know, I don't know if he uh was
at They were conflicting reports whether he was an auto
autograph signing or not. Some people said he was, other
people said that was bogus. So I don't know about that.
I think if he was at a signing. It would
be pretty easy to look it up because they promote
the heck out of that on the internet. I didn't
I didn't see anything on that. So all right, well,
thank you, Jacob. There's a jac all right, I have
(19:00):
a good night.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (19:02):

Yeah, for the football.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Picks, and she asked me, what's going to be on
the line, Like, you know what, I'll have to like,
I don't know. We have to figure that out.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
That's a great point. Uh So if if Lorena wins,
then what does Poppy have to do for the show too,
because we can have Poppy in here, we can invite
Poppy in studio or something like that. If he is
able to beat Loraina. There's no chance he's beating Lorainer, right,
can we all Doree on that?
Speaker 2 (19:44):

Listener Mason in Huntington Beach chimes in, and he says,
I am reminded of a story about an elderly Jack
Dempsey when he got mugged in New York. The story
(21:31):
may be embellished, might be an urban legend, but allegedly
two men tried to attack the former boxing champion, who
was by then a senior citizen, and mister Dempsey beat
the snot out of him.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
I don't know that one, Mason, I don't know that's
that's over my faith. But I wouldn't be shocked if
that happened back in the day, or if that's urban
legend and just got repeated and repeated. Mickey in State
forty eight says violent crime has become more rampant in
San Francisco because the criminals know that a lower percentage
(22:04):
of people there are unable to defend themselves and is
going through all that. Well, there's a lot of reasons
for it, but they're certainly not doing anything to stop it.
I know that. Chris in Houston says, hey, Malar, when
did you become grumpy? You're the brightest bulb in the
strip club. Not grumpy at all, Not grumpy at all. No, no, no.
(22:28):
Compared to Eddie, I'm mister sunshine here, yeah, I am.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
You have the Orioles number one wild card team, followed
by the Twins and Royals tied for the second and
third spot. Royals are sun The Red Sox are four
and half back.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
This is wild though the Bottleneck Eddiy at the very top.
The Dodgers have the top record, but they're only one
game again ahead of the Phillies, and the Brewers are
two back, so the Dodgers, if they play a bad
couple of games, could be have the third record in
the National League, behind the Phillies and the Brewers. Nuts.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
We shall see Red Sox four half back of that
final wildcard spot in American Ly, they lost in the
Tigers four to one, On Sunday, Mets beat the White
Sox two to nothing. They sweeped the series Chicago now
one hundred and seven losses on the season, new franchise record,
and they went oh to ten on their recent home stand,
also a franchise record. Now, I know what you're thinking.
(23:19):
Where in the hell is my w NBA scorer?
Speaker 1 (23:21):
I apologize? Ww that last hour won all WNBA. I
know only w NBA and Women's Night.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Yeah yeah, Fever beat the Wings one hundred and ninety three,
Kaitlin Club twenty eight points and twelve assists.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
Lady Power.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Oh man, m wow, very exciting. Is that on the air?
Speaker 2 (23:45):
I think it was on the air?
Speaker 8 (23:46):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (23:47):
Wow?
Speaker 4 (23:48):
Is you will sand whoop woop?
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Oh my, you want a fun fight? This is the
king of all fun facts, and you know I've.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Been It's a bold statement.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
I've been accused of embellishing the fun facts from time
to time, but this is I believe the gold standard
of fun facts. All right, mal fun fact, all right.
According to research, at any point in time, approximately point
zero point seven percent, zero point seven percent of the
world's population is drunk, which means that right now, as
(24:20):
we are together, united by the power of audio content.
There are roughly fifty seven million people who are drunk
right now. Let me repeat that for those of you
in the back of the room. So at any point
in time, approximately zero point seven percent of the world's
population is drunk. That means that right now we have
(24:44):
a potential audience of fifty seven million people who are
completely schnockered. The guy is drunk, but there he goes. Yeah,
they are south fuddled, pickled. Whatever you want is whatever
adjective you want to use. I like the word schnocker.
That's my favorite word when talking about somebody who's a
little under the influence. There, I love it. So I am
(25:08):
a fifty seven million This show will never go off
here with that as our base. A base of fifty
seven million. My goodness. All right, anyway, let's go to
the phones and we'll say hello to Let's go to
Mike in the oc in Honey, the beach. What's going on, Mike? Welcome?
Speaker 8 (25:28):
Not too much? How you doing, big.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Ben, Mike? If I was any better, I would be
a sock, but not a white sock because they stink.
Speaker 8 (25:37):
Are you doing? Then the White Sox blood runs of
the family, Well.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
If it runs in the family, you might want to
see a doctor.
Speaker 8 (25:45):
Well, well, wait a minute, when I tell you about
that and the reason I'm calling, I got a Chad
footsough for you, old buddy. Yeah, my father, my best
fans Jack Gamo, we do class Captain.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
Oh no, oh, yeah, man, I'm sorry, Mike Paula. I
love Jack. Your dad was the greatest.
Speaker 8 (26:10):
Uh yeah, I'd be for w Job and Hammond, Indiana
all the way to Kenny. BC seventy nine had a
press box and he got to finish it with you,
Big Ben.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Yeah. I for those who know Jack Namo, Mike's dad
became one of my good friends. We used to hang
out together at the SC games in the press box
and your dad, Mike would regale me with stories from
from his days traveling with the Dodgers back and they
doing stuff with him, and and all the different radio
shenanigans he had, and what a great character your father was.
I loved him to death. We had lost contact the
(26:44):
last couple years because I didn't going to the s
C games as much, and I know things changed out
there and whatnot, but Mike, indolences, Mike. I loved your dad.
Your dad was awesome.
Speaker 8 (26:54):
No, I really appreciate that, Dad, and I, you know,
I just wanted you taught a lot about you real quick.
I was just gonna tell you was it was very peaceful.
I don't really know that I'm taking it all in
yet because he was such a great buddy, but two
or three nights before he passed, it was so peaceful.
I was visiting every a Honington Beach and he liked
(27:16):
impractical jokers and he might diners, dive in or whatever
the hell.
Speaker 9 (27:21):
The food show.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
Yeah sure, And I.
Speaker 8 (27:23):
Would grab the remote from and say, Dad, what's it
gonna be? And he would go, Mike, just put something
on and shut up.
Speaker 4 (27:30):
Dad.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
I love that. That's your dad. That sums up the captain.
That sums up the captain right there. Uh. I used
to I used to love in the in the press
box at the coliseum back in the day. We'd be
in there and there'd be some kind of shenanigans going
on with some of the writers or whatever, and Jack
would just be loving it, just just absolutely loving it.
And uh, boy, fond memories, fond memories of your dad, Mike. Mike,
(27:52):
condolence is but I'm sorry about that. Send me an
email I'd like to be in contact with you. Okay,
I'll do that.
Speaker 8 (27:57):
Thank you, taking so much bad all.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
Right, take take care Mike. Uh, that's tough. Yeah, Captain
Jack Man, I love these. I love old school radio
guys from back in like the heyday radio. Not that
radio is not in the heyday right now, you know,
I consider this the heyday for me, it's the heyday radio.
But back in the day, you know, before the interweb
and all that, and everyone was locked into the to
the local radio stations and and Jack was this longtime
(28:22):
engineer who had worked all over the place, worked his
way up and did a lot of broadcasting stuff with
the Dodgers, and would tell me stories behind the scenes about, oh,
those darn gremlins I'm doing. No, I wasn't banging the
table that time, and I be ropp with that. No,
(28:42):
I'm doing a tribute to the captain. Maybe the captain's interfering,
how dare him? Captain? All right, rest in peace, Captain
Jack Namo there, buddy, a friend. All that we are
going to have. This is exciting here. This is not
quite better than the factoid on booze, but we will
have coming up in a little bit we're gonna have
some fun with Mallor to the third degree. Wed that
(29:05):
coming up. But Mike Zimmer, I'm gonna talk more about
Mike Zimmer later. He's the Cowboys defensive coordinator and he
is old school Mike Zimmer. The gentleman were just talking
to Mike. His dad, Captain Jack would love, would love
this story. So Mike Zimmer is the Cowboys defensive coordinator
and he was throwing some shade the direction of Justin Fields. Now,
(29:29):
he was actually trying to bury his former boss with
the Vikings. He was doing an interview and he brought
up former Viking general manager Rick Spielman. Rick Spielman a
couple years ago tried to trade for Justin Fields during
the draft and it didn't work out. Mike Zimmer did
not bite his tongue in speaking coach speak. He said
(29:51):
the following. He said, the first round Rick meeting Rick
Spielman tried to trade up for Justin Fields, who hasn't
done anything, which is one hundred percent correct. But you
don't often here is someone who's still currently coaching in
an active role in the NFL put their name on it.
But that's exactly exactly what Mike Zimmer did, I thought
(30:13):
that was that was pretty good. That was pretty He's
not wrong, by the way, Justin Fields has so many
people that love him on the interweb, but in terms
of his actual performance, not good. Not good, And he
couldn't even beat out Russell Wilson in Pittsburgh and Russ
is washed up. Here's the Insta trivia. Phenom Bobby Witt Junior.
(30:35):
Bobby Wit Junior has eighty one extra base hits. He
is five away from Blank's Royals franchise record for extra
base hits in his season. Again, Phenom Bobby Wit Junior,
He's got eighty one extra base hits. He is five
away from Blank's Royals franchise record for most extra base
(30:57):
hits in one season. That is ANSTA trivia. The answer,
and we will have mallor to the third degree. We'll
get to it. Don't screw this.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
Up, brief.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
We'll get to it, and we will do it next.

(31:55):
the third degree crumbing up that we'll have Bri in here.

base hits in one season. That is the Insta trivia.
(32:17):
What is the answer. Let's see does anyone know the answer?
We go to the Great Unwashed to see if anyone
knows the answer. Slugger the Tiger from Malard prop Guy
going with the Great Royals mascot Jeff Burton guest by
King Rory as his answer. The Great Dan Bankhead from
(32:40):
og Art puffin Who else we have? Ferg Dog says
the only man in Tonight's Crew, Ben Maler Page down,
Chris Christy from Justin in Cincinnati. Matt the Warrior Raider
fan cheated, so that doesn't count. Lou Panella guessed by
I forty Ian that's his answer. Who else we have?
(33:00):
Robbie the Mariner fan says a suicidal pop tart is
the correct answer. Nightmares really do come true? Yes, yes,
they just watching. Watching the Mariners is a nightmare. Raygun
Late Night directest just says breakdancwer Reygun, who is thirty
seven today? That'll be a great documentary. I look forward
to that coming out in the next couple of years.
(33:21):
Rob in Vegas going with Greg de Hammer Valentine is
his answer. Mickey in State forty eight says Jared Salta
Lamachia is the way to go. Eke in Roseil, Minnesota

That's his answer, Malibu Rubin says the toothpick from U. L.
(33:43):
Washington in the powder blue Royal uniform, Dane Orge from
Rich Steve LOMBARDOZI yes, by Rob in Minnesota. Who else
we have? Ben is going with George brettz wadd of
traw or chew Eddie. What say you at? It's not

Speaker 2 (34:01):
Well, that's a good guess. But I'm gonna go with
former called a Rocky All Star shortstop Troy Tulowitzki.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
Too low, is it Tulowitzki? No? Actually Hal McCrae of
the nineteen seventy seven Royals, now Mara here we got smaller?
How about that?
Speaker 4 (34:20):
To the third degree?
Speaker 1 (34:23):
This is one big fan gets Graill and making your
producing debut at least on our show. I actually he
has other shows, but she's on our show for the
first time. We welcome in our friend, Brie. Hello, Brie Hi.
Speaker 7 (34:35):
Okay. Clayton Kershaw was pulled out of Friday's game against
the Diamondbacks and was placed on IL due to a
possible bone spur in his left toe. Ben, do you
think We're gonna see Kershaw again before the season ends.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
God, I hope not. First of all, I'm over Clayton Kershaw.
I'm done with Kershaw. He has haunted me. The Dodgers
are in the playoffs every year, and he finds a
way to get out there and finds new creative ways
to puke in big games. Just move on from Kershaw.
You can give your little statue and celebrate Kershaw's at
Dodger Raikon. I don't want to see him again. I
(35:07):
certainly don't want to see him in the playoffs, and
the way the Dodgers are going, they will probably shut
him down. There's only a few weeks to go in
the baseball season next.
Speaker 7 (35:14):
Former Raider in current Packers running back Josh Jacobs said
in a recent interview, even though the Chiefs had an
interest in signing him over the offseason, he refused to
sign with them, stating that the AFC West rivalry played
a factor. Ben, do you think that's a good enough
reason not to sign with the team.
Speaker 1 (35:29):
No, he's full of craps. Listen, you know, Brion, I
know these guys are soldiers of fortune. They can talk
about loyal You know who has loyalty. Fans have loyalty.
The players don't have any loyalty. It's nonsense. I'll tell
you what. Right now, the Chiefs had offered the most money,
he would have gone there. And I see all these shorts.
I was reading a story on Sunday about how Josh
(35:51):
Jacobs has offered more money by the Giants, but he
didn't want to play for them either. It's all a
load of nonsense. It is who now lives in Appleton, Wisconsin,
And I met some nice people in Apples. But if
you're an NFL player, you had a choice to play
for the Chiefs in Kansas City or the Giants in Jersey,
you're gonna pick the Packers. Nobody's gonna do that. Come on,
(36:14):
I do not believe him at all. His nose is growing.
He is Pinocchio next.
Speaker 7 (36:21):
In a recent interview, Patrick Mahomes stated that Taylor Swift
is a very quote unquote interested in football now and
has even started drawing up plays.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
I'm sure she has.
Speaker 7 (36:33):
Ben do you think we're gonna see like a swifty
sweep this season?
Speaker 1 (36:38):
I actually do, and I'll tell you why because Andy Reid.
I remember we did this story a couple of years
ago Andy Reid took a play that he got from
like some janitor that sent him a play, and he
used it in a game and it actually worked. So
I predict, as a distant relative of Nostre Namas and
friend of Nostretenas, and I'm never wrong about these things,
(36:59):
that the Yiefs will take a Taylor Swift play. But
the only way we're gonna know it's a Taylor Swift
play is if it works. Because if it works, Andy
Reid's gonna brag about it. So I'm gonna go yes
that the Chiefs, that they're so full of themselves, they
will absolutely do that. There it is Mallard of the
third degree for the first time with Bree. Remember if
(37:19):
you want to be back on the show, Breaths very important.
How did we doubt you?
Speaker 7 (37:24):
Totally passed?
Speaker 1 (37:25):
Like got a way a p.
Speaker 5 (37:28):
Closs Claus glass cross glass Claus Claus Bloss block.
Speaker 1 (37:32):
Put it on the board. That's a letter wo
Hello and welcome. It's our number two. We're ready to
go in hour two on this labor day as we
pass the baton in the audio game to the NFL.
Your thoughts on the big story of the weekend forty
nine or wide receiver Ricky Piersoll shot over the weekend
in downtown San Francisco. Also, how crazy is it that
(00:22):
Ricky Piersoll was released from the hospital the day after
being shot in the chest? And will this lead to
any meaningful changes in San Francisco. We know that famous
people are more important than normal people, so will there
be any real changes because of this? We'll talk about
all that and a whole lot more. Is we go
the extra mile right now in our number two? A
(00:45):
weekend unlike any other, at least recently in the NFL. Welcome,
in the beginning of another hour of the Ben Malor Show.
We are in the air everywhere, beside one another, as
we are by the shoreline, coast to coast, border, the
(01:09):
border and beyond on the vast and beautifully powerful microphones
of FSR am monating live from the path as we
are on the warpath. We're broadcasting live for the tire
rack dot Com studios, tire rackt dot com, We'll help
you get there and unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free
(01:29):
road hazard protection and over ten thousand recommended installs. Ty
rack dot com the way tirebind should be in no
matter whether it's a holiday or not. The core base
of the Malad militia, they show up to work. And
do we have to pay alf the alien opiner a
little bit extra here? Mark in the Bay I don't know.
I mean with these guys, do they demand more money?
(01:51):
Mister nice guy? I mean we have to look into that.
I don't know if we have the budget. But here
we are united again on a Labor day, and oh
what a weekend it was. Play the hits, mall man,
Play the hits, all right, We'll play the hits. And
we start out in the Bay Area, and what a
story that was bouncing around. We were watching the college
(02:13):
football and our lead story this hour go over the
news of the weekend takes us that would be northern
California a week before the curtain goes off. Oh, football,
the biggest story, biggest story in the NFL is not
on the field. It's not a contract extension either. I
(02:33):
assume you've heard by now, but who knows. Maybe not.
The story involving the crime blodder forty nine or rookie
wide receiver Ricky Piersoll recovering after he was shot in
the chest happened over the weekend. It was an attempted
robbery right in the heart of San Francisco. Some underage
(02:53):
punk is in custing for the crime. A scumbag, apparently,
it's such a stumbling, bumbling loser. He shot himself while
attempting to rob the NFL player, now Piersol, who's twenty three.
The most amazing part of the story is he was
released from San Francisco General Hospital Trauma Center on Sunday
(03:17):
as I say, you go, head, you're done, get out
of here. You're good to go. He had been listed
in fair condition. So let us discuss the question, what
are your thoughts on the forty nine er receiver Ricky
Pearsall and the shooting that took place over the weekend.
So I've got guardian Abra, Cadabra and Guarden and we
(03:40):
will combine all of these things together and we are
going to make happy days. Happy days. What we're gonna
make so number W Yeah, definitely happy days when it
is not your day to die. Your time is not done.
(04:04):
You've got a little more time. You never know when
your time's gonna be here, right, You never know. It's
in the great mystery of life. It was clearly not
his day to check out of the mortal coil. Here
now we can debate why this happened the way it happened.
Was there some kind of higher power than intervene? Was
it just dumb luck? Depends on your belief system. But
regardless of that, this much I know, whether you believe
(04:29):
in higher power, whether you believe in just the dumb luck,
everything broke right. You had a cornacopia of things that
could have gone the other way, and you're dead when
you get shot in the chest. See, I made this mistake.
I felled down this rabbit hole of the statistics on
(04:50):
people that get shot in the chest, because I was like,
this seems very odd to me. I recall people getting
shot in the chest and not walking to the ambulance.
It seemed like that happened all that. So when you
get shot in the chest, according to the rabbit hole
that I fell down, you've got to worry about the
Big three. You've got these life threatening injuries from gunshot wounds.
(05:11):
The first part of it is obviously the big one
right in the middle of the heart, right but you've
got the major arteries in the heart which are all
tied together, and that is that's it. You're done. Boom boom, goodbye.
Injury to the spine, now that doesn't necessarily kill you,
but it often results in nerve damage and paralysis. So
(05:34):
you got that. So that's the second wing of this.
And then the third part of it is, well, you
need to breathe, and you got your lungs, and so
if you get shot in the chest, chances are you
gonna hit your heart, your arteries, your spine, or your lungs,
and the lungs can be fatal. The only way you
can survive that is if you immediately get medical attention
right away. But the odds of that happening are slim
and none. But outside of that, there are some minor
(05:58):
muscular scale issues that can occur that can cause significant damage.
But Ricky Pearsoll had a guardian angel looking out for
him here. He didn't hit anything that the gunman did not,
I mean shot him in a chest, did not hit
the heart. He missed the arteries. He missed, the spine,
(06:20):
the lungs, all of it, and not a single one
of those was hit. As nuts now, page two here,
how crazy is it that the day after all this
went down, the NFL play, Ricky Pearsoll was released from
the hospital day after being shot. So the whole thing
is bananas, right, I mean, it's one thing you get shot,
(06:43):
it's the video of it. Everyone's got an eyewitness account
of what happened. So within seconds there's video that was
recorded by witnesses showing pearsall shirtless with a large chest
wound because he got shot in the chest, walking himself
to the ambulance. La la la la la la la
la la la la. And normally when that happens, not
(07:06):
to be morbid. You end up in a body bag.
You don't end up just walking through an ambulance. But
this was an abra cadabra situation. And this is the
epitome of the magic bullet that missed every vital organ.
I mean, and the trajectory was just perfect. Right. If
the trajectory had been the other way, we've got a
(07:27):
much different situation here At zigged and zagged around the lungs,
the heart, the backbone, all the major blood vessels, all that. Now,
try doing that again. What are the odds that happens?
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Now?
Speaker 1 (07:41):
The result would be what probably much much much worse,
much worse. Uh, you know, touch and go or by
bye lights out at that point, now, final point. I've
seen some big think pieces written online that this will
be a point of demarcation at the civil unrests or
(08:02):
the just crime that has been run rampant through northern
California is going to change that because this is a
famous person. People don't care when normal people are shot,
but when famous people are shot, that gets people's attention. Right,
They're shootings every day in San Francisco. We don't talk
about them. We're obviously talking about this because it involves
(08:25):
an NFL player and we do a sports radio show.
But will this lead to any serious changes in San Francisco?
Some have said this is the wake up call, and
I would advise you not to hold your breath because
there are people who are dug in in their positions
that have set this up to be the way it is.
And so the Bay Area political climate is pro crime.
(08:49):
They might tell you they're not, but they are right.
They've turned parts of the bay and I love the
parts of the Bay I do. It's beautiful. I've been
there many times. I have family that lives in the
Bay Area. Hate the giants, but just beautiful places to visit.
But at the safest place. It's part of it seems
like a demilitarized zone in the Bay Area. And this
(09:10):
Ricky Piersoll thing happened in broad daylight at three point
thirty in the afternoon on a Saturday in Union Square
in that area where, by the way, there is a
great chocolate shop in Union Square. Highly recommend I wouldn't
go there right now, but my god, the gar A
Deli chocolate shop down there. Waait man that cookie Sunday.
(09:33):
That's the way to go. But it wasn't in the
point is, it wasn't in the middle of the night.
It wasn't in some back alley. From what we understand,
this was not some shady situation. This was just Ricky
Piersoll out doing some shopping. I guess he didn't get
the memo about the crime in San Francisco. He's not
doing some shopping and ended up getting in the wrong
(09:53):
place at the wrong time and got shot.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
But he was.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Alone according to the initial report. We'll find out if
there's more to the story. But he was alone carrying
shopping bags to his car. Did this young loser follow him,
find out what he was buying and kind of follow
him around? I don't know. But again to get back
to the question, will this lead any meaningful change? I'm
gonna go know, and I hope I'm wrong. I hope
(10:17):
that this does lead to some change, because we treat
famous people better than regular people. But I just look
at these empty political hacks, and they all say the
right things, and then they continue down the same garden path. Right,
they'll tap dance like a ballerina. They all have plausible deniability,
they all blame somebody else, and so nothing ends up
really change. We'll see if that is different. I would
(10:42):
not hold my breath regarding this situation, but we'll find
out as we go forward. It is the Ben Malor Show.
We are laboring away on a labor day. Normally we
have speakeasy rules, but there are no speakeasy rules, so

Let's see what do we have here?
Speaker 8 (14:49):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Page down? A lot of the boys checking in. Stevie
Meatballs from Florida says A. As far as the shooting,
he says, it had to be a low caliber bullet.
Does it say sounds like a twenty two? Says Stevie Meatballs.
If so, he should get a catch twenty two tag too,
being that he's a wide receiver. I didn't see the caliber.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
I didn't see what caliber was. Alf the Alien Pliner says, Hey, Ben,
if you paid me a little extra, I wouldn't be
on my way to work on a holiday. I'm just saying.
I'm just saying, well, Alf, check with the business side
and we'll hopefully get you some more money. Bill's monstrosses
good second hour monologue. It's a sad story. I think
(15:36):
Bill's there. It's a sad story. What happened to Ricky Pearsall?
It was said the shooter was injured. Yeah, he apparently
shot himself, recording to the story the early reports which
are often wrong. These early stories are usually completely wrong. Anyway,
I wonder if that's where they treated at the same
emergency department and hop yeah, I think they did. I
(15:57):
think they took them both to the same say hospital,
He says. Bill Bill's Monster wants the mallid militia to
know that he works a new schedule. He'll be getting
off work at two am now and we'll be calling
in way more often. So we'd like to alert all
the affiliates downline. Justin in Cincinnati says Sparty would have
done all four hours on the shooting. No comment on that.
(16:19):
Who else do we have? Page dam We'll skip over that.
Stuck in Sacramento, says, way to get on the A
plus plus malad monologue. Proof that this blank of Northern
California crime is in flipping daylight shows that Nor cal
criminals are stupid. In the Promised Land where I'm from.
In Venice, they do it in the middle of the
(16:42):
night and they don't shoot themselves, he points out there.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Yeah, I also saw goes to show you how brazen
they are.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
That's a good word. I you only hear that on
news reports. Brazen criminal way.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
I'm looking at a I'm looking at a photo of
the crime scene. Yeah, and there say double decker bus
tour going by. I'm seeking that people. They got quite
a view of that. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Now, do give mister nasty credit. He is defending the
bay area. He's bothered. He's doing what aboutism to defend
the Bay Area. So that's one way to approach it.
I guess if that works for you, that'll change things.
That'll make things better for sure. All right, let's go
to the phones and we'll say hello to Enie Meanie,
miney mo. Let's go to Jacob, who is in San Francisco. Hello, Jacob, welcome,
(17:35):
Hey Ben, can you hear me? I can hear you
loud and clear, Jacob, what's up?
Speaker 3 (17:40):
Well? First of all, shout out to the producer there,
because I've called many times before and it's the quickest
I've got on. I just wanted to give a message
to Ricky Piersall. I hope he covers appropriately. He is
from Tempe, Arizona. I would maybe caution him he could
go on a shopping spring in some other areas of
the Bay Area that are a little bit more Let's
say safe, Where would.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
You recommend he might be listening right now, Jacob, where's
a safe place to go shopping and spend your way?
Speaker 3 (18:05):
You know, right by his uh? Great, the Great, the
Great Stadium of Santa Clara. Santa Clara forty niners is
actually the teen place for And there's putting a shopping
shopping malls down there. Stanford has one around there. So
I would recommend anything in San Jose Santa Clair area.
Maybe he should stay out of San Francisco with his
rolex on his wrist?
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Now do we know what he was shopping for? I
didn't see what he was shopping.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
For, and I don't. I think the report said he
was leaving a signing. The other thing is, uh, why
does he not have security? Why is the team winning
this guy walk around downtown San Francisco in the security? Yeah,
I don't. I don't.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Yeah, I know, I don't know if he uh was
at They were conflicting reports whether he was an auto
autograph signing or not. Some people said he was, other
people said that was bogus. So I don't know about that.
I think if he was at a signing. It would
be pretty easy to look it up because they promote
the heck out of that on the internet. I didn't
I didn't see anything on that. So all right, well,
thank you, Jacob. There's a jac all right, I have
(19:00):
a good night.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Very nice. Is the the Ben Malors Show. Let's say
hello to oh boy Poppy in San Diego. Hello Poppy.
There he is, Poppy, Poppy, Poppy he Ben.

I was telling my wife about Poppy versus Lorena.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Yeah, for the football.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Picks, and she asked me, what's going to be on
the line, Like, you know what, I'll have to like,
I don't know. We have to figure that out.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
That's a great point. Uh So if if Lorena wins,
then what does Poppy have to do for the show too,
because we can have Poppy in here, we can invite
Poppy in studio or something like that. If he is
able to beat Loraina. There's no chance he's beating Lorainer, right,
can we all Doree on that?
Speaker 2 (19:44):
I do.

were done done with you. I'm moving on from you.
Listener Mason in Huntington Beach chimes in, and he says,
I am reminded of a story about an elderly Jack
Dempsey when he got mugged in New York. The story
(21:31):
may be embellished, might be an urban legend, but allegedly
two men tried to attack the former boxing champion, who
was by then a senior citizen, and mister Dempsey beat
the snot out of him.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
I don't know that one, Mason, I don't know that's
that's over my faith. But I wouldn't be shocked if
that happened back in the day, or if that's urban
legend and just got repeated and repeated. Mickey in State
forty eight says violent crime has become more rampant in
San Francisco because the criminals know that a lower percentage
(22:04):
of people there are unable to defend themselves and is
going through all that. Well, there's a lot of reasons
for it, but they're certainly not doing anything to stop it.
I know that. Chris in Houston says, hey, Malar, when
did you become grumpy? You're the brightest bulb in the
strip club. Not grumpy at all, Not grumpy at all. No, no, no.
(22:28):
Compared to Eddie, I'm mister sunshine here, yeah, I am.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
You have the Orioles number one wild card team, followed
by the Twins and Royals tied for the second and
third spot. Royals are sun The Red Sox are four
and half back.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
This is wild though the Bottleneck Eddiy at the very top.
The Dodgers have the top record, but they're only one
game again ahead of the Phillies, and the Brewers are
two back, so the Dodgers, if they play a bad
couple of games, could be have the third record in
the National League, behind the Phillies and the Brewers. Nuts.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
We shall see Red Sox four half back of that
final wildcard spot in American Ly, they lost in the
Tigers four to one, On Sunday, Mets beat the White
Sox two to nothing. They sweeped the series Chicago now
one hundred and seven losses on the season, new franchise record,
and they went oh to ten on their recent home stand,
also a franchise record. Now, I know what you're thinking.
(23:19):
Where in the hell is my w NBA scorer?
Speaker 1 (23:21):
I apologize? Ww that last hour won all WNBA. I
know only w NBA and Women's Night.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Yeah yeah, Fever beat the Wings one hundred and ninety three,
Kaitlin Club twenty eight points and twelve assists.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
Lady Power.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Oh man, m wow, very exciting. Is that on the air?
Speaker 2 (23:45):
I think it was on the air?
Speaker 8 (23:46):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (23:47):
Wow?
Speaker 4 (23:48):
Is you will sand whoop woop?
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Oh my, you want a fun fight? This is the
king of all fun facts, and you know I've.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Been It's a bold statement.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
I've been accused of embellishing the fun facts from time
to time, but this is I believe the gold standard
of fun facts. All right, mal fun fact, all right.
According to research, at any point in time, approximately point
zero point seven percent, zero point seven percent of the
world's population is drunk, which means that right now, as
(24:20):
we are together, united by the power of audio content.
There are roughly fifty seven million people who are drunk
right now. Let me repeat that for those of you
in the back of the room. So at any point
in time, approximately zero point seven percent of the world's
population is drunk. That means that right now we have
(24:44):
a potential audience of fifty seven million people who are
completely schnockered. The guy is drunk, but there he goes. Yeah,
they are south fuddled, pickled. Whatever you want is whatever
adjective you want to use. I like the word schnocker.
That's my favorite word when talking about somebody who's a
little under the influence. There, I love it. So I am
(25:08):
a fifty seven million This show will never go off
here with that as our base. A base of fifty
seven million. My goodness. All right, anyway, let's go to
the phones and we'll say hello to Let's go to
Mike in the oc in Honey, the beach. What's going on, Mike? Welcome?
Speaker 8 (25:28):
Not too much? How you doing, big.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Ben, Mike? If I was any better, I would be
a sock, but not a white sock because they stink.
Speaker 8 (25:37):
Are you doing? Then the White Sox blood runs of
the family, Well.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
If it runs in the family, you might want to
see a doctor.
Speaker 8 (25:45):
Well, well, wait a minute, when I tell you about
that and the reason I'm calling, I got a Chad
footsough for you, old buddy. Yeah, my father, my best
fans Jack Gamo, we do class Captain.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
Oh no, oh, yeah, man, I'm sorry, Mike Paula. I
love Jack. Your dad was the greatest.
Speaker 8 (26:10):
Uh yeah, I'd be for w Job and Hammond, Indiana
all the way to Kenny. BC seventy nine had a
press box and he got to finish it with you,
Big Ben.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Yeah. I for those who know Jack Namo, Mike's dad
became one of my good friends. We used to hang
out together at the SC games in the press box
and your dad, Mike would regale me with stories from
from his days traveling with the Dodgers back and they
doing stuff with him, and and all the different radio
shenanigans he had, and what a great character your father was.
I loved him to death. We had lost contact the
(26:44):
last couple years because I didn't going to the s
C games as much, and I know things changed out
there and whatnot, but Mike, indolences, Mike. I loved your dad.
Your dad was awesome.
Speaker 8 (26:54):
No, I really appreciate that, Dad, and I, you know,
I just wanted you taught a lot about you real quick.
I was just gonna tell you was it was very peaceful.
I don't really know that I'm taking it all in
yet because he was such a great buddy, but two
or three nights before he passed, it was so peaceful.
I was visiting every a Honington Beach and he liked
(27:16):
impractical jokers and he might diners, dive in or whatever
the hell.
Speaker 9 (27:21):
The food show.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
Yeah sure, And I.
Speaker 8 (27:23):
Would grab the remote from and say, Dad, what's it
gonna be? And he would go, Mike, just put something
on and shut up.
Speaker 4 (27:30):
Dad.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
I love that. That's your dad. That sums up the captain.
That sums up the captain right there. Uh. I used
to I used to love in the in the press
box at the coliseum back in the day. We'd be
in there and there'd be some kind of shenanigans going
on with some of the writers or whatever, and Jack
would just be loving it, just just absolutely loving it.
And uh, boy, fond memories, fond memories of your dad, Mike. Mike,
(27:52):
condolence is but I'm sorry about that. Send me an
email I'd like to be in contact with you. Okay,
I'll do that.
Speaker 8 (27:57):
Thank you, taking so much bad all.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
Right, take take care Mike. Uh, that's tough. Yeah, Captain
Jack Man, I love these. I love old school radio
guys from back in like the heyday radio. Not that
radio is not in the heyday right now, you know,
I consider this the heyday for me, it's the heyday radio.
But back in the day, you know, before the interweb
and all that, and everyone was locked into the to
the local radio stations and and Jack was this longtime
(28:22):
engineer who had worked all over the place, worked his
way up and did a lot of broadcasting stuff with
the Dodgers, and would tell me stories behind the scenes about, oh,
those darn gremlins I'm doing. No, I wasn't banging the
table that time, and I be ropp with that. No,
(28:42):
I'm doing a tribute to the captain. Maybe the captain's interfering,
how dare him? Captain? All right, rest in peace, Captain
Jack Namo there, buddy, a friend. All that we are
going to have. This is exciting here. This is not
quite better than the factoid on booze, but we will
have coming up in a little bit we're gonna have
some fun with Mallor to the third degree. Wed that
(29:05):
coming up. But Mike Zimmer, I'm gonna talk more about
Mike Zimmer later. He's the Cowboys defensive coordinator and he
is old school Mike Zimmer. The gentleman were just talking
to Mike. His dad, Captain Jack would love, would love
this story. So Mike Zimmer is the Cowboys defensive coordinator
and he was throwing some shade the direction of Justin Fields. Now,
(29:29):
he was actually trying to bury his former boss with
the Vikings. He was doing an interview and he brought
up former Viking general manager Rick Spielman. Rick Spielman a
couple years ago tried to trade for Justin Fields during
the draft and it didn't work out. Mike Zimmer did
not bite his tongue in speaking coach speak. He said
(29:51):
the following. He said, the first round Rick meeting Rick
Spielman tried to trade up for Justin Fields, who hasn't
done anything, which is one hundred percent correct. But you
don't often here is someone who's still currently coaching in
an active role in the NFL put their name on it.
But that's exactly exactly what Mike Zimmer did, I thought
(30:13):
that was that was pretty good. That was pretty He's
not wrong, by the way, Justin Fields has so many
people that love him on the interweb, but in terms
of his actual performance, not good. Not good, And he
couldn't even beat out Russell Wilson in Pittsburgh and Russ
is washed up. Here's the Insta trivia. Phenom Bobby Witt Junior.
(30:35):
Bobby Wit Junior has eighty one extra base hits. He
is five away from Blank's Royals franchise record for extra
base hits in his season. Again, Phenom Bobby Wit Junior,
He's got eighty one extra base hits. He is five
away from Blank's Royals franchise record for most extra base
(30:57):
hits in one season. That is ANSTA trivia. The answer,
and we will have mallor to the third degree. We'll
get to it. Don't screw this.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
Up, brief.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
We'll get to it, and we will do it next.

(31:55):
the third degree crumbing up that we'll have Bri in here.

the show. That's why she's doing Mallard of the third
degree phenom. Bobby Witt Junior has eighty one extra base hits.
He's five away from Blank's Royals franchise record of extra
base hits in one season. That is the Insta trivia.
(32:17):
What is the answer. Let's see does anyone know the answer?
We go to the Great Unwashed to see if anyone
knows the answer. Slugger the Tiger from Malard prop Guy
going with the Great Royals mascot Jeff Burton guest by
King Rory as his answer. The Great Dan Bankhead from
(32:40):
og Art puffin Who else we have? Ferg Dog says
the only man in Tonight's Crew, Ben Maler Page down,
Chris Christy from Justin in Cincinnati. Matt the Warrior Raider
fan cheated, so that doesn't count. Lou Panella guessed by
I forty Ian that's his answer. Who else we have?
(33:00):
Robbie the Mariner fan says a suicidal pop tart is
the correct answer. Nightmares really do come true? Yes, yes,
they just watching. Watching the Mariners is a nightmare. Raygun
Late Night directest just says breakdancwer Reygun, who is thirty
seven today? That'll be a great documentary. I look forward
to that coming out in the next couple of years.
(33:21):
Rob in Vegas going with Greg de Hammer Valentine is
his answer. Mickey in State forty eight says Jared Salta
Lamachia is the way to go. Eke in Roseil, Minnesota
says Steve Bye Bye Balboni, Donnie Doobiye choker from Stoner Marvin.
That's his answer, Malibu Rubin says the toothpick from U. L.
(33:43):
Washington in the powder blue Royal uniform, Dane Orge from
Rich Steve LOMBARDOZI yes, by Rob in Minnesota. Who else
we have? Ben is going with George brettz wadd of
traw or chew Eddie. What say you at? It's not
the kool aid Man and guessed by Slim Tim.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
Well, that's a good guess. But I'm gonna go with
former called a Rocky All Star shortstop Troy Tulowitzki.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
Too low, is it Tulowitzki? No? Actually Hal McCrae of
the nineteen seventy seven Royals, now Mara here we got smaller?
How about that?
Speaker 4 (34:20):
To the third degree?
Speaker 1 (34:23):
This is one big fan gets Graill and making your
producing debut at least on our show. I actually he
has other shows, but she's on our show for the
first time. We welcome in our friend, Brie. Hello, Brie Hi.
Speaker 7 (34:35):
Okay. Clayton Kershaw was pulled out of Friday's game against
the Diamondbacks and was placed on IL due to a
possible bone spur in his left toe. Ben, do you
think We're gonna see Kershaw again before the season ends.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
God, I hope not. First of all, I'm over Clayton Kershaw.
I'm done with Kershaw. He has haunted me. The Dodgers
are in the playoffs every year, and he finds a
way to get out there and finds new creative ways
to puke in big games. Just move on from Kershaw.
You can give your little statue and celebrate Kershaw's at
Dodger Raikon. I don't want to see him again. I
(35:07):
certainly don't want to see him in the playoffs, and
the way the Dodgers are going, they will probably shut
him down. There's only a few weeks to go in
the baseball season next.
Speaker 7 (35:14):
Former Raider in current Packers running back Josh Jacobs said
in a recent interview, even though the Chiefs had an
interest in signing him over the offseason, he refused to
sign with them, stating that the AFC West rivalry played
a factor. Ben, do you think that's a good enough
reason not to sign with the team.
Speaker 1 (35:29):
No, he's full of craps. Listen, you know, Brion, I
know these guys are soldiers of fortune. They can talk
about loyal You know who has loyalty. Fans have loyalty.
The players don't have any loyalty. It's nonsense. I'll tell
you what. Right now, the Chiefs had offered the most money,
he would have gone there. And I see all these shorts.
I was reading a story on Sunday about how Josh
(35:51):
Jacobs has offered more money by the Giants, but he
didn't want to play for them either. It's all a
load of nonsense. It is who now lives in Appleton, Wisconsin,
And I met some nice people in Apples. But if
you're an NFL player, you had a choice to play
for the Chiefs in Kansas City or the Giants in Jersey,
you're gonna pick the Packers. Nobody's gonna do that. Come on,
(36:14):
I do not believe him at all. His nose is growing.
He is Pinocchio next.
Speaker 7 (36:21):
In a recent interview, Patrick Mahomes stated that Taylor Swift
is a very quote unquote interested in football now and
has even started drawing up plays.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
I'm sure she has.
Speaker 7 (36:33):
Ben do you think we're gonna see like a swifty
sweep this season?
Speaker 1 (36:38):
I actually do, and I'll tell you why because Andy Reid.
I remember we did this story a couple of years
ago Andy Reid took a play that he got from
like some janitor that sent him a play, and he
used it in a game and it actually worked. So
I predict, as a distant relative of Nostre Namas and
friend of Nostretenas, and I'm never wrong about these things,
(36:59):
that the Yiefs will take a Taylor Swift play. But
the only way we're gonna know it's a Taylor Swift
play is if it works. Because if it works, Andy
Reid's gonna brag about it. So I'm gonna go yes
that the Chiefs, that they're so full of themselves, they
will absolutely do that. There it is Mallard of the
third degree for the first time with Bree. Remember if
(37:19):
you want to be back on the show, Breaths very important.
How did we doubt you?
Speaker 7 (37:24):
Totally passed?
