Speaker 1 (00:00):
He we go.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our number four, our number four of the original
recipe party. Yes, Happy Wednesday, It's the ninth day of April,
and it is also a good time to talk about
the latest comings and goings in the NFL draft speculation machine.
The stealers the Yensers are meeting with Shader Sanders, the

(00:23):
Colorado quarterback. Thumbs up or thumbs down? Does this spell
trouble for Aaron Rodgers? Also, how does this James Cook
consternation with the Bills front office play out in Buffalo?
He's not happy and put into words the meaning of
Tom Brady not not getting an Emmy nomination, while the

(00:43):
guy that he replaced, Greg Olsen, made the cut. Who goofed?
I've got to know. We'll get to all that and
more right now. Have a wonderful Wednesday. Thank you for listening,
and remember five stars. That helps us out a lot
on this podcast as you rate and review it. Here
is our number four. Is it the steal of the draft?

(01:08):
Or is it not welcome? In the beginning of another
hour of The Ben Mather Show, we are in the
air everywhere as we hold a conclave coast to coast,
border to border in beyond on the vast and pleasurably

(01:30):
powerful microphones of FSRS, we bring you the swagger m
monating live from the shoot, the crap shoot of the
risky overnight hours. We're broadcasting live from the tyraq dot
com studios. Tyraq dot com will help you get there
in unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free road hazard protection,

(01:53):
and over ten thousand recommended in stars. Almost as many
fat jokes as Justin and Cincinnati has said to Robbie
the Marridith tire rack dot Com the way tire buying
should be. So our lead this hour is from the draft,
and we are right now fifteen days away. Tic tic

(02:15):
tick kaboom. That's when the draft is so. Shadur Sanders
said to now be very dramatically, very dramatically, the wild cart,
wild cart in the draft and uh one of the
big mysteries of modern times of the Western world. So
if you have been following along, there are some new developments.

(02:36):
We have now learned that Shadur Sanders will be paying
a visit to western Pennsylvania, the land of the insurer.
Say what yeah, the Steelers are bringing in for a
nice meal and get together. Shoulder Sanders so the Colorado

(02:57):
quarterback will be visiting the Berg one of their top
thirty pre draft visits. Okay, now keep in mind Pittsburgh
does not have a top ten pick, they don't have
a top fifteen pick, they don't have a top twenty pick.
These Steelers are drafting number twenty one just always trade,

(03:19):
but going into the draft they have the twenty first
pick in the first round. So with that as the story,
you also have this subplot with Air and Rogers. So
Aaron Rodgers is supposed to be taking a trolley. Now,
mister Rogers neighborhood is in Pittsburgh, just like the TV

(03:39):
show for kids back in the day. Mister Rodgers neighborhood
in Pittsburgh. So the trolley into the neighborhood and that's
supposed to happen soon. So crank up the speculation machine
as we discuss the question these Steelers are meeting with
Shadur Sanders thumbs up or thumbs down in honor of

(04:03):
Eddie in Charlotte thumb's up or thumbs down? Does this
spell trouble for Aaron Rodgers? The fact that Shader Sanders
is paying a visit. So I've got cosmic Traveler, Yellow
post It Note, and Game of Thrones, and we will
combine all of these things together and we are gonna

(04:25):
make the Babaganooch. We're gonna make the babaoos. Not to
delete off here to answer the question in terms of
how it relates to Aaron Rodgers, does this spell trouble
for Aaron Rodgers? So I'm gonna go thumbs down. I'm
gonna go thumbs down on this. So Rogers is in

(04:46):
the twilight of this career. Some would say that he's
been in the twilight for the last three years, but
either way, he's in the ninth inning of his NFL career.
He's in his forties, and it is anticipated that later today,
this being April ninth, that by tonight air and Rogers

(05:11):
is expected to make his announcement. The Internet conspiracy theorist
have told me that Rogers will be playing some grab
ass with Pat McAfee on that YouTube show, and that
is when he's supposed to make his announcement in Pittsburgh.
I'm coming to town and I'm gonna play there. So
we'll see if that happens or not. If he does

(05:31):
not announce that. If Rogers does not make that announcement.
Then all of a sudden that changes things because today
is supposed to be the day that Rogers makes the announcement.
About two weeks away from the draft, Rogers says, I'm in,
and then the Steelers can go out and do what
they want, draft some linebacker or safety or defensive back.
And that's that. So as for Schuder Sanders, as for

(05:55):
Shudur Sanders, he's we know he's not going to Pittsburgh
just for the perogis. He's not like, I'm going to Pittsburgh.
I get invited, I'm gonna go and have some parogis.
I'm gonna have some fries on top of my food.
And that's the way I'm gonna do it. And all
it tells you something without knowing something I don't really know.
But we we are told something that you've got a

(06:19):
team that doesn't have a top twenty pick. You've got
a player who had been projected to be a top
ten pick when this all started. Shouldhur Sanders was supposed
to be a top three pick. He's either gonna go
to Tennessee or Cleveland or the Giants. He's gonna go
to one of those three teams. They all need quarterbacks.
They all have suck back quarterbacks. He's gonna play for
one of those teams. Well that was a month ago,

(06:40):
and now if you look around, shouldhur Sanders is a
cosmic traveler that is plunging right, He's a plummeting fireball,
is what he is. At this particular point. The Steelers
clearly believe that they have a chance at getting him
without without having to trade up, or even if they
have to trade up, it's not that much but twenty

(07:01):
first pickover all. Now, regardless of that that aside, if
that actually happened, that would be a great mitzvah for sure,
Deer Sanders. That would be an unseen gift, because this
is the definition. If that happens of falling upward, of
falling upward by being downgraded, you're actually upgraded. We all

(07:24):
know how that works. I mean, you avoid the plague
of the Titans and Giants and Browns and Raiders and
all those teams that are the very bottom of the cesspool,
and in theory, you at least go to a place
that has the winning aura. Even though Mike Tomlin hasn't
won a long time, and they make the playoffs every
year playoffs, the wisdom the mantra of the Steelers. The

(07:51):
Steelers are clearly in the market for a quarterback. You
don't have to be Adam Schefter to know that. And
so whether they Rogers and that's announced today or tomorrow
or the next day, they still need someone in the queue. Now,
speaking of in the queue, we go to Buffalo. Here
we go, Buffalo, Here we go, Buffalo. All those pills

(08:12):
mafia guys are in hiding. I get it. But one
of the stories that was interesting, kind of amusing involves
running back James Cook. He's our running back. Now we
are told that the disgruntle Bill's running back does plan
to play for the team in twenty twenty five. Say
what now, State funded NFL media acknowledging that things are

(08:36):
not great. Things are not great between the running back
James Cook and the Bills. This after general manager Brandon
Bean on the Bean Brandon Bean said last month late
last month that he did not foresee the agreement some
kind of deal getting done between the running back and

(08:58):
the team on a contra extension. He's entering his fourth year.
He wanted that big money, big money, big money, no wami.
He's going to get the whammy, it would appear. Now
Cook has been productive. He's had back to back in
belly the belly thousand yard seasons. That used to mean something,
but when he play seventeen games, it's not that much anyway.
Eighteen touchdowns in twenty twenty four, so he was a

(09:21):
touchdown maven for the Buffalo Bills. And he was so
distraught by the comments made by the Buffalo GM he
put his house on the market. You're not gonna pay me.
I'm gonna sell my house. I'm gonna sell my house.
That's it. I'm out. So how does this James Cook

(09:41):
consternation with the Bills playout? So the fact that he's
going to play in Buffalo, or at least that's a report,
doesn't really change things, because what I would advise is
take one of those bright yellow, bright yellow post it
notes and write a little note on there and then
clip and save it for that. Cook is a got it.

(10:04):
He wanted he said this on so he wanted fifteen million,
fifteen million per year to play running back for the
Buffalo Bills in a new contract. The problem he's got
two problems. First problem is he's not a fifteen million
dollar running back. He's solid but not great. The other

(10:25):
problem is he's easily replaceable. So if you have those
two things going for you, that's a problem. Right. Cook's
contract disagreement, which made for a one day talk radio story.
It's gonna linger. I'm telling you, I'm never wrong about
these things. It's gonna linger like a smoldering pile of
embers and it'll be putting smoke in the air everywhere

(10:47):
and will likely affect at least part of the offseason program.
There'll be some hullabaloo that takes place there. Now, the
problem again is that he is a solid but not
spectacular player who's coming off a career year. You don't
pay someone coming off a career year. And he's not
the heartbeat of the organization. He's not, and that's the issue. Now,

(11:10):
last thing, we head now to TV Land. We go
to TV land where Fox is. Greg Olsen has been
nominated for an Emmy Outstanding Personality Event Analyst category. This
is where broadcasters kiss the ass of other broadcasters, and

(11:30):
so Greg Olsen nominated for the Emmy for Outstanding Personality
Event Analysts. That's the category. He won that category last year. Now,
the reason this is interesting is round the rhombie is Olsen.
Now he is competing against Troy Aikman, Peyton Manning, John Smoltz,
and Bill Raffury Audiens. And so that's the list of nominees.

(11:55):
And so this is the trying to win back to
back and the reason it's intriguing is because the name
that's not there Tommbrady. That's right. So Tom Brady got
paid the bag by Fox as he is the number

(12:17):
one analyst for the NFL on Fox, and that bumped
Olsen down to the number two chair. He was demoted,
so he was, and now he is not even a finalist.
Tom Brady not a finalist for the Emmy Award for
Outstanding Personality Event Analyst. So put into words, use your words,

(12:43):
put into words the meaning of Tom Brady not even
getting an Emmy nomination while Greg Olsen made the cut.
So the word I will use for this is a thumb,
as in this stands out like a sore thumb. And
Tom Brady very proud man, very proud man. Most people

(13:05):
are proud of themselves. Has anyone had it worse than
Tom Brady?

Speaker 3 (13:09):
Lately?

Speaker 2 (13:11):
He hired, he didn't get the coach he wanted the
Raiders Pete Carroll, oldest coach in the NFL. Nobody else
was going to hire Pete Carroll. He didn't get a
good quarterback, he got Gino Smith, who blows. And now
he gets the disappointment of not even being named a
finalist for an Emmy and the guy that you replaced

(13:34):
got the nomination. Tom Brady's a thirty seven point five
million dollars liability. He's not a good broadcaster. He's just not.
Maybe he'll become a good broadcaster, but he's not a
good broadcaster right now. And he was upstaged by the
guy that he replaced. What are you doing? And while
Greg Olsen may work at Fox on television, he's really

(13:58):
more like the NBC mascot, the Peacock, because he can
strut around like a peacock with his feathers in the
air everywhere, while Tom Brady goes Game of Thrones and
has to wear the shame bell and do the walk
of atonement is like, what are you doing? Bad job
by you? Bad job by you? All Right? Is the

Brady would never beat Tony Romo, never ever beat Tony Romo,
so he says, see Justin and Cincinnati says, did Doris
Burke get nominated as by far the worst play by

know who got nominated for those. I have no idea
what it says. Some calls though, and some of the
other stories from last night we didn't mention in the monologue.

team formerly knows. The Indians played their home opener. It
was thirty two degrees I saw in Cleveland for that game.

little bit, a little bit.

Speaker 3 (19:40):
Yeah, a lot of people are down on them though,
cheese everybody calling in on the show, and Cincinnati they

Speaker 2 (19:56):
Yeah, but you got to win the playoffs though, Dick
right got to win the play they're the number one
seed in the Eastern congratulations on that. But you gotta
win the playoffs. That's you know, that's all that matters.
So any gigs not this week, and the weather is

It'll be Monday. I've been in the banjo group thirty
nine years.

Speaker 2 (20:38):
Wow, that's amazing. Thirty nine years. What a run that is.
You're a hall of famer in that. Are you the
longest tenured member of that group?

Speaker 3 (20:47):
No? This, I think there's John Webber, Me, Lenny, and Doug.
There's four of us.

Speaker 4 (20:54):
Oh, four of us.

Speaker 2 (20:54):
Okay, so you guys are the better call him Monday, right, Yeah,

think I've talked to you over how many years you'd
called me?

Speaker 3 (21:03):
Come me?

Speaker 2 (21:04):
Many many years now you've called me? Oh my god,
I can't believe you date. You're making me feel old,
But I remember those That first call was on Thanksgiving.
It was an all time great call. What a great yard.
And I'm gonna meet you this year at some point.
I don't have it all lockdown. But we're gonna hang
out together and what a what a great event the
mallor Meet and greet in Ohio. All Right, I gotta go,

(21:24):
Thank you, Dick, bye bye? All right, there he goes.
It's his birthday Monday. Man, what do you get the
man that has everything? Dick in Dayton? What do you
get that guy? Let's say hello to Blind Scott, who's
on the north end of Boston. Hello Blind Scott.

Speaker 6 (21:40):
Oh yeah, well, dude, remember when it's like the worst
game ever. Cause Dick City called and called for twenty
six years, he's other been called to that line. I
was on hold during his first call.

Speaker 4 (21:49):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 6 (21:50):
He he like predates everything to like the nineties. That
was the best Dick and Dayton times. You know, that's
when Dick was really flying high in Dayton. You know
what I mean?

Speaker 4 (21:59):
But UH mean to say that either, dude.

Speaker 6 (22:01):
This John mullaney show, it's a live radio show on Netflix.
They paid John mllenniy a ton of money to do
a radio show on Netflix. And then another thing I
don't understand is why would you pay so much money
to go to a sporting event to get just completely
slashed and not remember it, like that old bus driver
that you still work here. And dude in another thing,
this Oklahoma City. This guy in the cowboy boots. My friend,

(22:24):
she's like a real big famous comedian states a case.
She's a huge Oklahoma City fan. She could drive from
Kansas City. Those Oklahoma City fans are so unhinged. You
see that guy with the cowboy boots. You know, like
if I was Luca, I would have grabbed his cowboy
boat and hung them upside down and all the guns
would have fallen out of his jacket and everything. You
know what I mean, Dude, League, you can't deal with

(22:46):
fans like that. They don't know anything about sports. They
talk trash. Why would you pay so much money to
go to event just to talk trash to them? Like
you're literally embarrassing yourself, you know, like you didn't get
much more stupid than being a fan with cowboy boots
on talking trash to one of the biggest players in
the NBA. You're just self promoting yourself, you know what

(23:06):
I mean. I can't stand those type of people. You know,
these comedians Bob Kelly and Jay Ocheford, they're big time comedians.
I can't stand those guys either. I think they're trash.
Another thing too, there is a guy, Mike the Leprecaun
that calls the show that they's from Boston. You know,
I'm like, can you help me go to the Red
Tuck team? I want to be out there. He takes
the masking him on a date. He's literally playing a
cost on the Leprechaun from Boston.

Speaker 4 (23:28):
Like, dude, you.

Speaker 6 (23:29):
Could have become much more of a fool than that.

Speaker 2 (23:31):
Like, dude, I'm guessing he's not taking your a game.

Speaker 6 (23:35):
Oh no, yes, So then he acted look at creepy
and he asked breed to the game, like she would
want to go with like this really creepy bake.

Speaker 2 (23:44):
Number one, she probably wouldn't want to go. But number two,
that's kind of a long trip to go to one
baseball game, you know what.

Speaker 6 (23:48):
I'm Yeah, but it's creepy to pretend to be a
Mike the Leprechaun and then pretend and then to be
Homo folded too. You know, it's just weird, Like it's
a weird player.

Speaker 2 (24:00):
Than you. Sike, Mike the lepreconn would you like to
talk to Blind Scott? He's got a beef with you
want to say hello to blind Scott. There, Mike the
lepercann appears to have an issue with you.

Speaker 7 (24:09):
Good morning, How are you, Scott? How did you see
the game with the Cobbe boots.

Speaker 6 (24:14):
Nobody could, Mike, Nobody could even understand what you're saying
when you call like you literally have no teeth. Man,
Brush your teeth, dude, so people can understand what you're saying.
No women on the show want to date you, dude.
Loreina does not want to date you. Loraina is a
technical producer too. She's in charge of the boards. The
more you insult her, the less airtime you will get.

Speaker 2 (24:34):
All right, hold on, Mike, you're being overwhelmed here. This
is like a Sunai and you defend yourself. No, all right,
he's not gonna go ahead, Scott, continue to beat him down.

Speaker 6 (24:45):
Go ahead, Yeah, Mike the leppercwnd dude being a leprek behind.
It's the stupidest move ever, Dude. Everybody knows that Irish
people from Boston are the biggest jack wagons ever.

Speaker 2 (24:56):
Like, all right, it's not necessary.

Speaker 6 (24:59):
Why the bull You're out of Boston because of that?
To Dana, Whitey is the left Boston because of it?

Speaker 2 (25:04):
No, they left Boston because they were white.

Speaker 6 (25:07):
They s out of Boston by Whitey Bolt. He's an
Irish Guary too, so bite the leprechan Homoholberg, Irish guard.

Speaker 2 (25:12):
All right, all right, all right, Mike the leper Kahn,
defend yourself. Go ahead.

Speaker 7 (25:17):
Okay, there's no reason for all this hate. And I
don't actually like Lorena too. She doesn't know what the
position player apparently is. I wasn't the game yesterday. It
was freezing cove. I did it Duck Tour as well.

Speaker 4 (25:28):
And Rafael Devers and.

Speaker 2 (25:29):

I had jokes, but I know he.

Speaker 7 (25:44):
No, no, no, no, no, he's back in two forty four.
He was after Yeah, he's up.

Speaker 2 (25:49):
Took he took the first week of the season off.
I know he's back and.

Speaker 7 (25:52):
The southe took time for the most away wins of
all time, by the way, after last night.

Speaker 2 (25:57):
Okay, so what do you get for that? A cookie?

Speaker 7 (26:00):
I'm just telling you a fact, the from fact, the
fun fact, and a joke. I haven't done a joke
for a what because I got cut off yesterday by somebody.

Speaker 2 (26:09):
It was not me. I didn't cut you off, not
by you.

Speaker 7 (26:12):
Because I complimented your cat, your dog, not the cat,
your dog demoxy. Anyway, this is a cat. This is
a joke. What do you call what do you call
when sea lions kick over the world?

Speaker 3 (26:24):

A Spanish magician was doing a magic trick. He said,
no does and then he disappeared without a trace.

Speaker 2 (26:40):
Okay, tell you. I got to go.

Speaker 5 (26:43):
You know, I was thinking to myself.

Speaker 6 (26:44):
I was like, wow, we got so lucky the last
two days of Mike the leprechn didn't call.

Scott to bash and more? Scott there, you can go
back to sky you want? I mean, why not? Yeah, Scott?

You know, all right, he's just running. Let's go to
Marcel in Brooklyn. The legend has returned. The Destiny's child
is here child Dynasty's child, that's right, the child of
a dynasty. But you probably know this because you're a newsguy, Marcel.

(27:24):
But did you see did you see b Schmode reincarnated?
Russell Westbrook had received a warning. We are told from
the NBA that he had not spoken to the media
for three consecutive games.

Speaker 4 (27:40):
Wow, he hits from the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Speaker 2 (27:43):
I think, yeah, you're wrong, But Russell, Russell Westbrook did
not talk to the media for three consecutive games is
a violation of the media policy that is in his contract.

Speaker 4 (27:52):
So I give you this towards fake fake news.

Speaker 2 (27:58):
So Russell Roschbrook spoke to the media his first game,
first postgame interview session since the warning. He answered almost
every question with I don't know what every question was.

Speaker 4 (28:11):
I don't know, I don't know. I dkay what Yeah.

Speaker 2 (28:16):
Now that's a tribute to me.

Speaker 4 (28:18):
Why in the world is going on with Russell Westbrook?
Why did he talking?

Speaker 3 (28:22):
Now?

Speaker 4 (28:22):
What team do?

Speaker 2 (28:25):
What team do you think he works for these days?

Speaker 4 (28:28):
I don't know. He's a basketball player. He's from the
Oklahoma City Thunder.

Speaker 2 (28:34):
Yeah, it's like five teams ago. That's like five teams exactly. Yeah,
all right, but that is now. People say that's beast
mode because back in the day, Marshawn Lynn said, I'm
just here so I don't get fine.

Speaker 4 (28:47):

Speaker 2 (28:49):
But the originator of that was Rashid Wallace, NBA player.
Rashid Wallace.

Speaker 4 (28:53):
Oh yeah, yeah, another.

Speaker 2 (28:56):
NBA player, My buddy, the late great Brian Wheeler, the
voice of the Trailblazers, and he told me the whole story.
He was with the Blazers of the time, and Rashid
Wallace had got in trouble for not talking to the media.
They were in the playoffs. I think they were playing
the Dallas Mavericks. So the pr people for the Blazers
are like, hey, Rashid, you got to get up there
and answer these questions.

Speaker 3 (29:14):
They again from the media, And.

Speaker 2 (29:18):
Then Rashid Wallace got up there, and every question he answered.
Both teams played hard, my man, Both teams played hard.
Every single answer was both teams play hard.

Speaker 4 (29:26):
Wow, shame on Restbrook and shame on Wallace.
