Speaker 1 (00:00):
Boom, Shaka laka. It's our number fall made to order,
our number four. Happy Friday, eighteenth day of April. We
are side by side here in the magic Audio box,
and here in our number four are these Puka nakua
(00:20):
comments the Ram Wide Receivers comments on forty nine er
quarterback brock Parties contract inbounds or out of bounds? Also
does Dion Sanders defense of his son Shadur being persecuted
because of his last name? Does that hold water? We'll
discuss that. Also, what's really going on below the surface
(00:43):
regarding sho Heyo Tani's return to the mound as it
keeps getting pushed back with the Dodgers. We'll go there
and who knows what else. Have a wonderful Friday. Remember
Fifth Hour podcast. You gotta hear this guy's story on
the Fifth Hour podcast. Amazing, Amazing coming your way. But
right now here it is our number four. So you
(01:07):
really went there, You actually went there. Welde in the
beginning of another hour of the Ben Mather Show. We
are in the air everywhere chin Wagon as we are
the ultimate radio experience and really the only one doing
(01:29):
anything right now anyway, coast to coast, border the motor
and beyond on the vast and enchantingly powerful microphones of
FSR am monating live from the school, just a single
fish in the school. We are broadcasting live from the
(01:50):
ti Raq dot Com studios Tiraq dot com. We'll help
you get there. An unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free
road hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended in stars.
I know lone Wolf Palmer likes that number ten thousand
because he's a lone wolf. That's tire rack dot Com,
(02:11):
the way tire buying show I'd be. So we're back
at it again. Here is the NBA playoffs begin this weekend,
big holiday weekend, as people are doing their thing, and
we begin this hour with a story from the NFL,
not about the draft, not about the draft, but our
lead is from the War of Words, which didn't seem
(02:32):
at the time like it was a war words, but
it's turned into that. And the forty nine ers who
have spent the last two months, roughly last two months,
roughly flirting with Rock Purty on a new contract to
keep him as there forever quarterback by the Bay and
so far it's nothing. There is no contract, and there's
(02:58):
chatter that there will not be a contract, although there
were some early positive reports that a deal would get
worked out. Well, now we have RAM wide receiver Pooka Nkoua,
who has entered the chat. Pooka Nakoua has entered the
chat and how did he? How did you do it?
What did he do? Let me tell you. So Pooka Nakua,
(03:21):
who is a wide receiver for the Irims, suggested on
something called the Game with Names or Games with Names podcasts.
I don't know what that is, I guess Julian Edelman
hosts it. I have never heard of that. I have
no idea what that is. But they had Pooka Nakoula
on and they were talking about Brock Party. And during
(03:45):
that particular interview, Pooka the CoA, the RAM wide receiver, indicated,
when discussing the possibility of rock Perty getting the massive
contract that he said that a contract exceeding fifty million
dollars annually would effectively close the door for the forty
nine ers. The window would close. You'd be done. That's it,
(04:08):
no more championship chasing for the forty nine ers, a
failed era of football. So let us discuss are these
comments by Pokinakua on a random podcast on brock Perty's
contract and if he gets fifty million, the Niners are cooked.
Are they in bounds or are they out of bounds?
(04:31):
So I've got waffle house, plumber's tape, and steering wheel,
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are going to be a storm in a tea cup.
And then after that we're gonna make the Gabba goool.
We're gonna make the gobbagool not to kickoff. With the
(04:51):
help of replay assist, we answer the question inbounds are
out of bounds, and replay assist as indicated inbound in bounds.
Puka de Coua what he did? He said the quiet part.
He said the quiet part out loud. He's preaching the
gospel that we have been evangelizing on this topic of
(05:12):
discussion for some time. And there are some hardline forty
nine or apologists that are all about the dogma, like
Terry in England. Terry in England is more locked in
than Ernesto, and Ernesto is like this massive forty nine
er fan who's in northern California. But Terry and Inglands
(05:33):
all brock Purty's great he's wonderful and all that stuff.
And in this part of reality, in this part of Realityville,
and I'm the governor of Realityville, brock Purty is a
waffle house quarterback. Now, when I say he's a waffle
house quarterback, what does that mean. He is a ham
(05:54):
and Edgar. He is a ham and egar. He's nothing special.
You can take it to leave. It does elevate the
players around him, and there are many corpses as all.
You're being me, you shouldn't talk a little bit. You
shouldn't say that. Well, there are a lot of quarterbacks
that don't elevate players around them. And there is value
in being just a middle manager and just being a
(06:16):
run of the milk quarterback without a lot of talent,
not being a game change. Brock Purty showed when you
load up your roster and you put a bunch of
torpedoes and bazookas and nuclear weapons on the roster, he's
fine that you you you can be a good team.
(06:36):
And he's reliant on Christian McCaffrey and George Kittle, and
I think those are the only guys left. But that's it.
And you've got Shanahan supposedly the genius play caller and
all that coach them up got to coach him up.
The spending, whether it is frivolous, if that's the right
word for it, I mean, you can use other words
if you want, but either way, it's gonna undermine, undermine
(07:00):
the forty nine ers ability to fill out the roster
with the kind of players that brock Purty will have
success with. And therefore you're just flushing the money down
the toilet and they'll end up settling in to a
new neighborhood, relocating to mediocre meadows and just kind of
(07:23):
hanging out there. And that'll be where they hang out
for the foreseeable future with the frivolous contract if they
give that out. Now, the forty nine ers have started
the downfall, and we saw what the future is. If
you look into the crystal ball. Let's put it this way,
if the Niners were playing pool, they would be behind
(07:44):
the eight ball. They would be behind the ball. They
went from twelve to five in the Super Bowl Super
Bowl run twenty twenty three, six and eleven. They lost
six more games. They lost six more games year to year.
Party if he was flying, he would be doing the noseedive,
(08:05):
his completion percentage, his yards, his touchdowns, his interceptions, all
of them, all of them in the wrong direction, meaning
he had more interceptions, he had fewer touchdowns, and he
had fewer yards and fewer you know, the key stats.
The completion percentage was worse, so did Puka Naku. Across
(08:29):
the bro code, in which athletes are never supposed to
criticize fellow athletes their contemporaries. I'm gonna go know on this,
and I would say, think of it like that famous
quote from some saint back in the day. It's about
the animal kingdom. The truth is that a like a lion, right,
like a line, not a Detroit line, like an actual line.
(08:50):
You don't have to defend it. Let it loose. It
will defend itself, right. And the truth is like a line,
there were no lies. The real ones know. Oh fanboys
they don't know. They think, Oh, brock Purty is great.
Rock Purty is great. Now my advice no one ever
listens to my advice. My advice to the niners is
(09:11):
stand down. Slow Sunday drive, Slow Sunday drive. The annoying
person that drives six seven miles below the speed limit,
the forty nine, Ers could use the franchise tag on
brock Purty. Next year they pay him forty one million,
and then in twenty twenty seven fifty one million. So
(09:35):
you'd essentially have Brock Purties locked up for this year
for peanuts and then two more years at ninety two million.
Who says no? And then you delay the Mega Mega
Mega money, the powerball money.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Right.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Meanwhile, turn and page we go to college football. College football, Well,
Dion Sanders continues to feel fill up the content kitty.
Dion staunchly defending the decision by the University in Colorado
to retire his son, Schadur Sanders number two jersey at Colorado.
(10:11):
He argued that the critics, anyone that's making fun of
this is just doing it because of Shadur sanders last name.
He stated, quote, this is Deon Sanders. If his last
name wasn't Sanders, we wouldn't be having this discussion. The
only reason Dion said that we're having this discussion is
because of his last name being Sanders. So Dion emphasized
(10:36):
that his son Shoulder's on field accomplishment are worthy. He
said he set over one hundred school records in just
two seasons. So question, does Dion Sanders passionate defense of
his son Shaudur being persecuted because of his last name?
Does it hold water? So totally get if you're you're
(11:02):
a father, you stand for your son. Who's going to
disagree with that right? You know, we want the father
to defend the sun in every world, in any part
of the world. That being said, just keeping it real,
it's time to get some plumber's tape for Dion because
it's kind of like a broken faucet. This is leaking.
(11:23):
It doesn't hold water. Two years of Shadeur Sanders thirteen
and twelve record, thirteen and twelve record in the Shader
Sanders era. How many conference titles did they have that
would be that would be none? None? How many playoff
appearances that would be none? Even Travis Hunter, Like, I
(11:44):
totally get retiring Travis Hunter's number he won the Heisman.
I feel like that's kind of obvious if you win
the Heisman, eats your number retired. But can't you wait
till the body gets cold before you do it? It
seems a little odd. It's like there's a proper way
to do this. And it was pointed out to me
that Rashaan Salaam, the Heisman winner million years ago and
(12:05):
he was in Boulder back in the day, won the Heisman,
the first ever Colorado Heisman winner. He had to wait
how many years you think he waited like five years
to get his number retired? Was it seven years? All right?
So I'll give you. I'll give you three options, five
seven ten or none of the above? Five seven ten
or none of the above. How many years did Rashaan
(12:27):
Salam have to wait to have his Heisman trophy number retire?
The answer none of the above. He had to wait
twenty three years a generation. A generation is between twenty
and twenty five years. He had to wait a generation
to have his number retire. And you're telling me that
(12:48):
Travis Hunt right after he hadn't even drafted yet they're
retiring his number. This episode is all about the people
at Colorado in the Academia slash Athletics side together freaking
out because Dion has raised the profile and it's like,
now we gotta do everything we can here. They're worried
(13:10):
that Dion's gonna go coach the Cowboys, or go do TV,
or go to some other better college job, and so
everyone in charge there at Colorado, they visited seven to
eleven and they had the prime time Slurpye slip Stiper.
It was a slurpfest slurpfest. Dion's influence and the threat
of him leaving caused this. But by no mistake is
(13:34):
shrdur Sanders a victim? What are we doing? Thirteen and
twelve record and no conference titles, playoff appearance and as
far as Dion's saying, well, I've never heard people complain
about numbers being retired. People complain all the time. You
just don't listen. Bad job by you. Right, last thing,
(13:54):
we go to baseball where the Doyers did not play
last night, but Dave Roberts made some news, Roberts revealing
that his star show, Haotani is not not going to
pitch anytime soon. Otani is still multiple months away quote
a couple months away still from Dave Roberts to return
(14:17):
them out now. Otani has not pitched since August of
twenty twenty three. He treaded his arm and needed major
surgery while with the Angels. I believe it was Tommy
John surgery. Now Originally Dave Roberts said the Dodger skipper,
he said, I really liked him in that spot. Now
he said Otani would be back in May. That was
(14:40):
the word from Dave Roberts. Now they are pushing it
back until either late June or who knows, July, or
later on than that. So question what is really going
on below the surface regarding Sho Haotani's return to the mound,
the much ballyhooed return to them out, which is being
(15:00):
pushed back another couple of months by the Dodge. If
they are telling the truth the Dodgers, what they're doing
here is letting their fingers do the talk. And they're
putting their fingers on the steering wheel and they're locking
in the cruise control. They are meandering down the road.
(15:20):
They are looking to limit O'tani's innings, to limit the
number of pitches because they believe he's fragile and there's
a finite amount of innings that Otani can pitch. So
they are planning on coddling him and they want him
to be available on their playoff run. So they're saving
(15:41):
they're saving bullets, and they're they're shooting a lot of
blanks right now. And all that. Now, the other opportunity
the other possibility, I should the other possibility is that
he's not throwing the ball very well. He is not
throwing at a successful level to dominate hitters in the
major leagues. And the Dodgers know this, that he has
thrown and they they're not impressed, and so they don't
(16:04):
want to publicly sound the alarmed, but privately their concerns
are like, well, we'll push it back and maybe maybe
they'll take a little more time, and we don't want
to alarm anyone, as I said, but this is going
down the tubes. It's not going well. And so there
we are. All right. It is the Ben Mahler Show.
If you'd like to be part you can join us
right now at eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox.
(16:26):
That's eight seven seven nine nine six six three six nine,

And now back to it we go. Well, it's actually
it's the Ben Mather Show Bill and we will have
the Coop Scoop on Entertainment coming up a little bit
later in the hour, the Coop Scoop on Entertainment, I
(18:14):
failed to pay this off earlier in the show, and
I was sending a nasty email by a listener who says,
I've listened the entire show and you tease this and
you never picked off your I know I'm going to
I'm going to the penalty box. I'm going to the
radio penalty box. I know I am. I got you,
(18:35):
all right, you suck well. Deon Sanders, the head football
coach of the Colorado football team, recently claimed I gotta
say this properly. Even though we're in the safe harbor
and I am the captain of the safe harbor, I
do have bosses. We are on in the Bible Belt,
so I have to be careful. So I'm gonna describe
this in a way I think you'll know what I mean,
(18:56):
and then I don't need to say exactly what the
story is. So deon'sa and recently claimed that he has
never played with his own joystick. If you know what
I'm saying, huh yeah, yeah, He's never never played with
the old joystick there, and he said because of religion.
(19:17):
He talked about his relationship with God in the Bible
and all that stuff, and he is fifty seven years old.
The unsaid fifty seven and claims that he has never again,
never had to manipulate his own joystick at any point
in his life. And then he followed that up by saying,
(19:37):
he says, my next statement is going to sound arrogant.
He said I never had to. That's what he said. Eh,
I don't buy it. I know, I'm skeptical. I think
he got to be skeptical. Right at some point here
even I certainly know Dion lives in a different tax
(19:58):
bracker than I live in and he's you know, famous,
I do overnight radio, but I did. I don't buy
it makes no sense. At some point, maybe not recently,
but at some point back in the day. You know something,
it's the old joystick out there and start playing the
video game, you know, see what happens. So but anyway,
all right, let's go to the phones and see I
(20:20):
didn't say what he did. I just you know, any
video game system as a joystick. Yeah, let's say hello
to the Mojoe Rising who's in the Bay Area. Hello,
Mojoe Rising. M I think Mojo Rising is now Mojo Sleeping.
(20:41):
I believe he is gone, so we'll move up, move
on for him. Let's say hello to any meanie miney mo.
Blind Scott is on the North End of Boston and
we'll be complaining about something. Let's find out what upset
about today.
Speaker 4 (20:59):
The Red Sox are pretty actually they're ten and ten.
I don't know where Mark from the North endwin, but
he does add a lot of value to the show.
He knows a lot about basketball when he was in
the Jeopardy game. Dude, if you get arrested today, you
might not get out of jail until a week from
now because it court's a quotes today and Monday because
of the Boston One holiday, so you could run into
some trouble if you're going to.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Great, that's great advice. That's great advice. Do not get
arrested today. Try to avoid being rested today. That's soliday
it was. And also I would advise you do not
have You don't have to worry about this Bland Scott.
But if you have a car, do not have your
car breakdown on a holiday weekend because most of the
mechanic shops are not open. Unless you're able to fix
the car yourself, you're screwed?
Speaker 4 (21:40):
Does that happen to you, Ben?
Speaker 1 (21:42):
Because yes, yes, I've had my car. I've had my
car breakdown on multiple holidays and it just sits there
until like the following Tuesday, and did anybody?
Speaker 4 (21:53):
Can anybody tell you what happened? I got in a
lot of trouble. I send ninety four emails to the
Morning show like Fred Toutcher and one day and like
it's just not cool, Like I learned it's not cool
to do something like that, Like, yeah, how how.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Come you You've been doing that to me for fifteen years?
You've story? How come how come you respect Fred Toucher
but you don't respect me?
Speaker 5 (22:13):
No?
Speaker 4 (22:14):
No, I didn't respect him actually, like he had to
like tell me no, but.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
You don't do it. You don't do it now. But
but I'm saying, like you you still tell.
Speaker 4 (22:23):
You about the emails I sent Ben, Like I don't
send them the same ones I sent I sent Ben,
like really dark emails that like I are really personal about,
like really dark stuff that like Ben probably shouldn't even read.
You know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
I don't need I don't need to see that. I
really don't need. I got my own problems. You know
what I'm saying exactly.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
You won't say it, so like I have to. I
get it, like just like layoff like a lot of
the communication because it say, you know, it's not for
like sports radio. It's for like a mental hospitals. Like
you know that song James Taylor thinks about fire and rain.
Think he thinks about that mental place in Boston. I've
been to there so many times. It's a matter of
like a cognitive impairment. I got to just tell me,
(23:02):
like I don't. I did it to Coop when I
first met him. I did it to him for years actually,
like inundated him with messages. It just is not cool.
That's all you know.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
You do that.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
People do that to you all the time though, you know,
like it is weird, like because you're just an overnight
radio guy. And then all of a sudden, Ben's like
hearing about somebody, like some guys son who died on
Ben's birthday. Here's about like five times a year, it's
like built the pstic crap, the car breaks down on
the weekend. You know, it's like n.

All right, Well, if you are not a fan of
Coop Scoop and entertainment, then I have good news for you.
There's not a lot of new stuff that I want
to point out this weekend, but one thing Easter.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
There's nothing out for Easter. People don't want to be
entertained on Easter weekend.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Really, there's you know, there's a couple things. There's one
there's one big movie that's got great reviews, and I'm
going to tell you about that right now. It is
called Sinners, and that is in theaters right now. It
stars Michael B. Jordan. He plays two roles twin brothers.
It's just him though, And it also stars Hailey Steinfeld,
(29:03):
who is the fiance of Josh Allen. Oh, okay, yes,
it is a all right, So I'm gonna tell you
the synopsis here. It says trying to leave their troubled
lives behind. Twin brothers return to their hometown to start again,
only to discover that an even greater evil is waiting
to welcome them back. From the trailers that I've seen,
I believe this is either it's either like a vampire
(29:27):
or zombie movie. That's what I've gathered, and so far
it has rave reviews. It's got a ninety eight percent
on Rotten Tomatoes and ninety seven percent on the Popcorn Meter,
so early returns are positive.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
That is in theaters right now. Nice.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
And moving over to television, there's a couple of things.
First is a new series that is available on Amazon
Prime Video. It is an adult animated series produced by
A twenty four. It is called Number one Happy Family USA,
and it is created by Rammy Yusef. It also stars him.
Mandy Moore stars in it as well and Chris red
(30:12):
And It centers on a Muslim family living in a
post nine to eleven America. All eight episodes stream today.
A second season has already been ordered by Amazon Prime
and last but not least, on HBO Max on Sunday
at ten thirty pm or HBO or Max. I guess
that's the way you want to refer to it.
Speaker 5 (30:33):

Speaker 1 (30:33):
You can watch it on the channel or you can
stream it on Max.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
Ten thirty pm is the debut of the second season
of the comedy The Rehearsal and yeah that is oh well,

Speaker 1 (30:46):
More the Fifth Hour podcast.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
No tune in five thirty pm on Saturday to see
the Lakers dominate the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game one.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
You can watch Aunt Edwards and here the Laker fans crying,
the historians crying when the Lakers lose Game one. Oh
could to lose Game one? I can't believe it. Man,
You couldn't stop Andy. And he's gonna put a fifty
points in that game. Anthony Abras is gonna have fifty
points in that game.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
He'll have fifty fifty points and the game one and
the rest of the team will have forty a.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
Fifty burger, a fifty burger for Ann Edwards, and two
women will be impregnated. No, all right, anyway, the well,
he's uh, he's very active, Lorena. He's uh. He's the
father of many checks spread. He's like Elon Musk. He's
just spreading his seed all over. He is the daddy. Yes,
(31:41):
all right, it is the the Ben Maler Show as well.
We press on and we are going to have but
I have a fun fact. I think you're the fun
I gotta get this fun fact. That the fun fact.
So they have crunched the numbers and it is now
proven the Clippers have a legitimate home court advantage because
(32:05):
of the wall. The data suggest the Clippers have gotten
a big bump in their new arena on court because
of teams missing foul shots. When they attempt to shoot
against the wall, they put like fifty rows. It's like
a college set up, very steep. Four thousand crazy Clipper
(32:25):
supporters there the people's team, and the data suggests that
only one team in the entire NBA in their home
games allowed a worse or had a benefit from a
worse foul shooting percentage than the Clippers. So they were
second in the entire NBA team shot that poorly from
(32:46):
the foul line because of the wall. It's all about
the wall. That is the fun fact of the hour.

Uh. You know, he used to come on Fox Sports Radio.
He's doing the NFL games for Fox back in the day,

like Luca, and you're our defending champion. Far Out Dave
(36:00):
picked the category.
Speaker 6 (36:02):
Like Luca.
Speaker 1 (36:03):
Okay, like Luca, the name is your buzzer. These athletes
were all traded in the prime of their careers. Two
hundred dollars. It might have been towards the end of
his prime when he was traded, but this legendary center
would still go on to make three more All NBA
team in the first teams and win his fourth NBA
Championship as a member of the Miami Uh. Far Out,
(36:25):
I think far yeah day yeah Jack, that's direction. Kill O'Neal,
all right, four hundred dollars. This superstar outfielder out of
the Dominican Republic head has already been traded twice in
his prime. He recently cashed in as a free agent
far out Dave No recently cashed in as a free agent,
(36:47):
signing the largest contract in professional sports history with the
New York New York Mets. That is correct, Jan Soda,
he left left your Yankees and he's homesick for Aaron
Judge all right, six, only one season removed from winning
Defensive Player of the Year. The Raiders traded this player after.
Speaker 7 (37:09):
He had mo Charles Watson No, after he held out.
Speaker 1 (37:15):
The entire preseason. The Bears would then make him the
highest page defensive player in a day. That's direct. Khalil Mack,
all right, we got a good one going here, We
got a good one. I think it's because Uncle Mose
eating too much mat. So that's what eight hundreds. Here
we go this, I know that's you know, one week,
(37:38):
you got it to go for this Hall of Fame
safety had a league leading twelve interceptions as a rookie
for the Redskins. They traded him to the Vikings three
years later, and he would go on to become the
NFL's career leader in interceptions, a record he still holds
all these years later. Anybody that's a tough one. Okay,
(38:02):
it's Paul L. Krause, right, Paul Krause.
Speaker 5 (38:05):
Lorain for lifeline, your lifeline.
Speaker 1 (38:08):
Yeah, yeah, you go for it, Yeah, go for it.
Nothing to go wrong? Yeah, one thousand dollars. This outfielder
led the American League at home runs in nineteen fifty nine,
but that didn't stop the Cleveland Indians from trading him
in the off season.
Speaker 4 (38:24):
Dave I heard the Indians announcing wrong.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
Now to Lorrain, go ahead, Lorrain to help him out?
Go ahead?
Speaker 4 (38:33):
Yeah, no, no, no, you sure, yeah, go ahead, Spider guy, Yeah,
go ahead, go ahead.
Speaker 1 (38:41):
Whatever I'll be, I'll lose my thousand bucks life you've
already lost, cowl, Yes, yeah, you want to give it
a shot here? No, uncle moo, all right, yeah yeah.
Traded in the off season, Detroit Tigers were Harvey Keane,
who was the rain Ao batting champon. No, Rocky Colavito,
(39:04):
Rocky all right, Well, unbelievable. I don't know knocking. I
don't think anyone won. Actually, I think we're all losing.
It's a tie.
Boom, Shaka laka. It's our number fall made to order,
our number four. Happy Friday, eighteenth day of April. We
are side by side here in the magic Audio box,
and here in our number four are these Puka nakua
(00:20):
comments the Ram Wide Receivers comments on forty nine er
quarterback brock Parties contract inbounds or out of bounds? Also
does Dion Sanders defense of his son Shadur being persecuted
because of his last name? Does that hold water? We'll
discuss that. Also, what's really going on below the surface
(00:43):
regarding sho Heyo Tani's return to the mound as it
keeps getting pushed back with the Dodgers. We'll go there
and who knows what else. Have a wonderful Friday. Remember
Fifth Hour podcast. You gotta hear this guy's story on
the Fifth Hour podcast. Amazing, Amazing coming your way. But
right now here it is our number four. So you
(01:07):
really went there, You actually went there. Welde in the
beginning of another hour of the Ben Mather Show. We
are in the air everywhere chin Wagon as we are
the ultimate radio experience and really the only one doing
(01:29):
anything right now anyway, coast to coast, border the motor
and beyond on the vast and enchantingly powerful microphones of
FSR am monating live from the school, just a single
fish in the school. We are broadcasting live from the
(01:50):
ti Raq dot Com studios Tiraq dot com. We'll help
you get there. An unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free
road hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended in stars.
I know lone Wolf Palmer likes that number ten thousand
because he's a lone wolf. That's tire rack dot Com,
(02:11):
the way tire buying show I'd be. So we're back
at it again. Here is the NBA playoffs begin this weekend,
big holiday weekend, as people are doing their thing, and
we begin this hour with a story from the NFL,
not about the draft, not about the draft, but our
lead is from the War of Words, which didn't seem
(02:32):
at the time like it was a war words, but
it's turned into that. And the forty nine ers who
have spent the last two months, roughly last two months,
roughly flirting with Rock Purty on a new contract to
keep him as there forever quarterback by the Bay and
so far it's nothing. There is no contract, and there's
(02:58):
chatter that there will not be a contract, although there
were some early positive reports that a deal would get
worked out. Well, now we have RAM wide receiver Pooka Nkoua,
who has entered the chat. Pooka Nakoua has entered the
chat and how did he? How did you do it?
What did he do? Let me tell you. So Pooka Nakua,
(03:21):
who is a wide receiver for the Irims, suggested on
something called the Game with Names or Games with Names podcasts.
I don't know what that is, I guess Julian Edelman
hosts it. I have never heard of that. I have
no idea what that is. But they had Pooka Nakoula
on and they were talking about Brock Party. And during
(03:45):
that particular interview, Pooka the CoA, the RAM wide receiver, indicated,
when discussing the possibility of rock Perty getting the massive
contract that he said that a contract exceeding fifty million
dollars annually would effectively close the door for the forty
nine ers. The window would close. You'd be done. That's it,
(04:08):
no more championship chasing for the forty nine ers, a
failed era of football. So let us discuss are these
comments by Pokinakua on a random podcast on brock Perty's
contract and if he gets fifty million, the Niners are cooked.
Are they in bounds or are they out of bounds?
(04:31):
So I've got waffle house, plumber's tape, and steering wheel,
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are going to be a storm in a tea cup.
And then after that we're gonna make the Gabba goool.
We're gonna make the gobbagool not to kickoff. With the
(04:51):
help of replay assist, we answer the question inbounds are
out of bounds, and replay assist as indicated inbound in bounds.
Puka de Coua what he did? He said the quiet part.
He said the quiet part out loud. He's preaching the
gospel that we have been evangelizing on this topic of
(05:12):
discussion for some time. And there are some hardline forty
nine or apologists that are all about the dogma, like
Terry in England. Terry in England is more locked in
than Ernesto, and Ernesto is like this massive forty nine
er fan who's in northern California. But Terry and Inglands
(05:33):
all brock Purty's great he's wonderful and all that stuff.
And in this part of reality, in this part of Realityville,
and I'm the governor of Realityville, brock Purty is a
waffle house quarterback. Now, when I say he's a waffle
house quarterback, what does that mean. He is a ham
(05:54):
and Edgar. He is a ham and egar. He's nothing special.
You can take it to leave. It does elevate the
players around him, and there are many corpses as all.
You're being me, you shouldn't talk a little bit. You
shouldn't say that. Well, there are a lot of quarterbacks
that don't elevate players around them. And there is value
in being just a middle manager and just being a
(06:16):
run of the milk quarterback without a lot of talent,
not being a game change. Brock Purty showed when you
load up your roster and you put a bunch of
torpedoes and bazookas and nuclear weapons on the roster, he's
fine that you you you can be a good team.
(06:36):
And he's reliant on Christian McCaffrey and George Kittle, and
I think those are the only guys left. But that's it.
And you've got Shanahan supposedly the genius play caller and
all that coach them up got to coach him up.
The spending, whether it is frivolous, if that's the right
word for it, I mean, you can use other words
if you want, but either way, it's gonna undermine, undermine
(07:00):
the forty nine ers ability to fill out the roster
with the kind of players that brock Purty will have
success with. And therefore you're just flushing the money down
the toilet and they'll end up settling in to a
new neighborhood, relocating to mediocre meadows and just kind of
(07:23):
hanging out there. And that'll be where they hang out
for the foreseeable future with the frivolous contract if they
give that out. Now, the forty nine ers have started
the downfall, and we saw what the future is. If
you look into the crystal ball. Let's put it this way,
if the Niners were playing pool, they would be behind
(07:44):
the eight ball. They would be behind the ball. They
went from twelve to five in the Super Bowl Super
Bowl run twenty twenty three, six and eleven. They lost
six more games. They lost six more games year to year.
Party if he was flying, he would be doing the noseedive,
(08:05):
his completion percentage, his yards, his touchdowns, his interceptions, all
of them, all of them in the wrong direction, meaning
he had more interceptions, he had fewer touchdowns, and he
had fewer yards and fewer you know, the key stats.
The completion percentage was worse, so did Puka Naku. Across
(08:29):
the bro code, in which athletes are never supposed to
criticize fellow athletes their contemporaries. I'm gonna go know on this,
and I would say, think of it like that famous
quote from some saint back in the day. It's about
the animal kingdom. The truth is that a like a lion, right,
like a line, not a Detroit line, like an actual line.
(08:50):
You don't have to defend it. Let it loose. It
will defend itself, right. And the truth is like a line,
there were no lies. The real ones know. Oh fanboys
they don't know. They think, Oh, brock Purty is great.
Rock Purty is great. Now my advice no one ever
listens to my advice. My advice to the niners is
(09:11):
stand down. Slow Sunday drive, Slow Sunday drive. The annoying
person that drives six seven miles below the speed limit,
the forty nine, Ers could use the franchise tag on
brock Purty. Next year they pay him forty one million,
and then in twenty twenty seven fifty one million. So
(09:35):
you'd essentially have Brock Purties locked up for this year
for peanuts and then two more years at ninety two million.
Who says no? And then you delay the Mega Mega
Mega money, the powerball money.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Right.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Meanwhile, turn and page we go to college football. College football, Well,
Dion Sanders continues to feel fill up the content kitty.
Dion staunchly defending the decision by the University in Colorado
to retire his son, Schadur Sanders number two jersey at Colorado.
(10:11):
He argued that the critics, anyone that's making fun of
this is just doing it because of Shadur sanders last name.
He stated, quote, this is Deon Sanders. If his last
name wasn't Sanders, we wouldn't be having this discussion. The
only reason Dion said that we're having this discussion is
because of his last name being Sanders. So Dion emphasized
(10:36):
that his son Shoulder's on field accomplishment are worthy. He
said he set over one hundred school records in just
two seasons. So question, does Dion Sanders passionate defense of
his son Shaudur being persecuted because of his last name?
Does it hold water? So totally get if you're you're
(11:02):
a father, you stand for your son. Who's going to
disagree with that right? You know, we want the father
to defend the sun in every world, in any part
of the world. That being said, just keeping it real,
it's time to get some plumber's tape for Dion because
it's kind of like a broken faucet. This is leaking.
(11:23):
It doesn't hold water. Two years of Shadeur Sanders thirteen
and twelve record, thirteen and twelve record in the Shader
Sanders era. How many conference titles did they have that
would be that would be none? None? How many playoff
appearances that would be none? Even Travis Hunter, Like, I
(11:44):
totally get retiring Travis Hunter's number he won the Heisman.
I feel like that's kind of obvious if you win
the Heisman, eats your number retired. But can't you wait
till the body gets cold before you do it? It
seems a little odd. It's like there's a proper way
to do this. And it was pointed out to me
that Rashaan Salaam, the Heisman winner million years ago and
(12:05):
he was in Boulder back in the day, won the Heisman,
the first ever Colorado Heisman winner. He had to wait
how many years you think he waited like five years
to get his number retired? Was it seven years? All right?
So I'll give you. I'll give you three options, five
seven ten or none of the above? Five seven ten
or none of the above. How many years did Rashaan
(12:27):
Salam have to wait to have his Heisman trophy number retire?
The answer none of the above. He had to wait
twenty three years a generation. A generation is between twenty
and twenty five years. He had to wait a generation
to have his number retire. And you're telling me that
(12:48):
Travis Hunt right after he hadn't even drafted yet they're
retiring his number. This episode is all about the people
at Colorado in the Academia slash Athletics side together freaking
out because Dion has raised the profile and it's like,
now we gotta do everything we can here. They're worried
(13:10):
that Dion's gonna go coach the Cowboys, or go do TV,
or go to some other better college job, and so
everyone in charge there at Colorado, they visited seven to
eleven and they had the prime time Slurpye slip Stiper.
It was a slurpfest slurpfest. Dion's influence and the threat
of him leaving caused this. But by no mistake is
(13:34):
shrdur Sanders a victim? What are we doing? Thirteen and
twelve record and no conference titles, playoff appearance and as
far as Dion's saying, well, I've never heard people complain
about numbers being retired. People complain all the time. You
just don't listen. Bad job by you. Right, last thing,
(13:54):
we go to baseball where the Doyers did not play
last night, but Dave Roberts made some news, Roberts revealing
that his star show, Haotani is not not going to
pitch anytime soon. Otani is still multiple months away quote
a couple months away still from Dave Roberts to return
(14:17):
them out now. Otani has not pitched since August of
twenty twenty three. He treaded his arm and needed major
surgery while with the Angels. I believe it was Tommy
John surgery. Now Originally Dave Roberts said the Dodger skipper,
he said, I really liked him in that spot. Now
he said Otani would be back in May. That was
(14:40):
the word from Dave Roberts. Now they are pushing it
back until either late June or who knows, July, or
later on than that. So question what is really going
on below the surface regarding Sho Haotani's return to the mound,
the much ballyhooed return to them out, which is being
(15:00):
pushed back another couple of months by the Dodge. If
they are telling the truth the Dodgers, what they're doing
here is letting their fingers do the talk. And they're
putting their fingers on the steering wheel and they're locking
in the cruise control. They are meandering down the road.
(15:20):
They are looking to limit O'tani's innings, to limit the
number of pitches because they believe he's fragile and there's
a finite amount of innings that Otani can pitch. So
they are planning on coddling him and they want him
to be available on their playoff run. So they're saving
(15:41):
they're saving bullets, and they're they're shooting a lot of
blanks right now. And all that. Now, the other opportunity
the other possibility, I should the other possibility is that
he's not throwing the ball very well. He is not
throwing at a successful level to dominate hitters in the
major leagues. And the Dodgers know this, that he has
thrown and they they're not impressed, and so they don't
(16:04):
want to publicly sound the alarmed, but privately their concerns
are like, well, we'll push it back and maybe maybe
they'll take a little more time, and we don't want
to alarm anyone, as I said, but this is going
down the tubes. It's not going well. And so there
we are. All right. It is the Ben Mahler Show.
If you'd like to be part you can join us
right now at eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox.
(16:26):
That's eight seven seven nine nine six six three six nine,

Maller on X all this on X Lorraine a cookie Monster,
FSR Tech Queen, FSR Tech Queen and Cooper Loop Sailor
(17:53):
to him at uh Bronco fan. That's a Bronco fan.
And now back to it we go. Well, it's actually
it's the Ben Mather Show Bill and we will have
the Coop Scoop on Entertainment coming up a little bit
later in the hour, the Coop Scoop on Entertainment, I
(18:14):
failed to pay this off earlier in the show, and
I was sending a nasty email by a listener who says,
I've listened the entire show and you tease this and
you never picked off your I know I'm going to
I'm going to the penalty box. I'm going to the
radio penalty box. I know I am. I got you,
(18:35):
all right, you suck well. Deon Sanders, the head football
coach of the Colorado football team, recently claimed I gotta
say this properly. Even though we're in the safe harbor
and I am the captain of the safe harbor, I
do have bosses. We are on in the Bible Belt,
so I have to be careful. So I'm gonna describe
this in a way I think you'll know what I mean,
(18:56):
and then I don't need to say exactly what the
story is. So deon'sa and recently claimed that he has
never played with his own joystick. If you know what
I'm saying, huh yeah, yeah, He's never never played with
the old joystick there, and he said because of religion.
(19:17):
He talked about his relationship with God in the Bible
and all that stuff, and he is fifty seven years old.
The unsaid fifty seven and claims that he has never again,
never had to manipulate his own joystick at any point
in his life. And then he followed that up by saying,
(19:37):
he says, my next statement is going to sound arrogant.
He said I never had to. That's what he said. Eh,
I don't buy it. I know, I'm skeptical. I think
he got to be skeptical. Right at some point here
even I certainly know Dion lives in a different tax
(19:58):
bracker than I live in and he's you know, famous,
I do overnight radio, but I did. I don't buy
it makes no sense. At some point, maybe not recently,
but at some point back in the day. You know something,
it's the old joystick out there and start playing the
video game, you know, see what happens. So but anyway,
all right, let's go to the phones and see I
(20:20):
didn't say what he did. I just you know, any
video game system as a joystick. Yeah, let's say hello
to the Mojoe Rising who's in the Bay Area. Hello,
Mojoe Rising. M I think Mojo Rising is now Mojo Sleeping.
(20:41):
I believe he is gone, so we'll move up, move
on for him. Let's say hello to any meanie miney mo.
Blind Scott is on the North End of Boston and
we'll be complaining about something. Let's find out what upset
about today.
Speaker 4 (20:59):
The Red Sox are pretty actually they're ten and ten.
I don't know where Mark from the North endwin, but
he does add a lot of value to the show.
He knows a lot about basketball when he was in
the Jeopardy game. Dude, if you get arrested today, you
might not get out of jail until a week from
now because it court's a quotes today and Monday because
of the Boston One holiday, so you could run into
some trouble if you're going to.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Great, that's great advice. That's great advice. Do not get
arrested today. Try to avoid being rested today. That's soliday
it was. And also I would advise you do not
have You don't have to worry about this Bland Scott.
But if you have a car, do not have your
car breakdown on a holiday weekend because most of the
mechanic shops are not open. Unless you're able to fix
the car yourself, you're screwed?
Speaker 4 (21:40):
Does that happen to you, Ben?
Speaker 1 (21:42):
Because yes, yes, I've had my car. I've had my
car breakdown on multiple holidays and it just sits there
until like the following Tuesday, and did anybody?
Speaker 4 (21:53):
Can anybody tell you what happened? I got in a
lot of trouble. I send ninety four emails to the
Morning show like Fred Toutcher and one day and like
it's just not cool, Like I learned it's not cool
to do something like that, Like, yeah, how how.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Come you You've been doing that to me for fifteen years?
You've story? How come how come you respect Fred Toucher
but you don't respect me?
Speaker 5 (22:13):

Speaker 4 (22:14):
No, I didn't respect him actually, like he had to
like tell me no, but.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
You don't do it. You don't do it now. But
but I'm saying, like you you still tell.
Speaker 4 (22:23):
You about the emails I sent Ben, Like I don't
send them the same ones I sent I sent Ben,
like really dark emails that like I are really personal about,
like really dark stuff that like Ben probably shouldn't even read.
You know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
I don't need I don't need to see that. I
really don't need. I got my own problems. You know
what I'm saying exactly.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
You won't say it, so like I have to. I
get it, like just like layoff like a lot of
the communication because it say, you know, it's not for
like sports radio. It's for like a mental hospitals. Like
you know that song James Taylor thinks about fire and rain.
Think he thinks about that mental place in Boston. I've
been to there so many times. It's a matter of
like a cognitive impairment. I got to just tell me,
(23:02):
like I don't. I did it to Coop when I
first met him. I did it to him for years actually,
like inundated him with messages. It just is not cool.
That's all you know.

You do that.
Speaker 4 (23:11):

like it is weird, like because you're just an overnight
radio guy. And then all of a sudden, Ben's like
hearing about somebody, like some guys son who died on
Ben's birthday. Here's about like five times a year, it's
like built the pstic crap, the car breaks down on

Speaker 2 (28:29):
All right, Well, if you are not a fan of
Coop Scoop and entertainment, then I have good news for you.
There's not a lot of new stuff that I want
to point out this weekend, but one thing Easter.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
There's nothing out for Easter. People don't want to be
entertained on Easter weekend.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Really, there's you know, there's a couple things. There's one
there's one big movie that's got great reviews, and I'm
going to tell you about that right now. It is
called Sinners, and that is in theaters right now. It
stars Michael B. Jordan. He plays two roles twin brothers.
It's just him though, And it also stars Hailey Steinfeld,
(29:03):
who is the fiance of Josh Allen. Oh, okay, yes,
it is a all right, So I'm gonna tell you
the synopsis here. It says trying to leave their troubled
lives behind. Twin brothers return to their hometown to start again,
only to discover that an even greater evil is waiting
to welcome them back. From the trailers that I've seen,
I believe this is either it's either like a vampire
(29:27):
or zombie movie. That's what I've gathered, and so far
it has rave reviews. It's got a ninety eight percent
on Rotten Tomatoes and ninety seven percent on the Popcorn Meter,
so early returns are positive.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
That is in theaters right now. Nice.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
And moving over to television, there's a couple of things.
First is a new series that is available on Amazon
Prime Video. It is an adult animated series produced by
A twenty four. It is called Number one Happy Family USA,
and it is created by Rammy Yusef. It also stars him.
Mandy Moore stars in it as well and Chris red
(30:12):
And It centers on a Muslim family living in a
post nine to eleven America. All eight episodes stream today.
A second season has already been ordered by Amazon Prime
and last but not least, on HBO Max on Sunday

that's the way you want to refer to it.
Speaker 5 (30:33):

Speaker 1 (30:33):
You can watch it on the channel or you can
stream it on Max.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
Ten thirty pm is the debut of the second season
of the comedy The Rehearsal and yeah that is oh well,

Speaker 1 (30:46):
More the Fifth Hour podcast.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
No tune in five thirty pm on Saturday to see
the Lakers dominate the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game one.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
You can watch Aunt Edwards and here the Laker fans crying,
the historians crying when the Lakers lose Game one. Oh
could to lose Game one? I can't believe it. Man,
You couldn't stop Andy. And he's gonna put a fifty
points in that game. Anthony Abras is gonna have fifty
points in that game.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
He'll have fifty fifty points and the game one and
the rest of the team will have forty a.

Fifty burger, a fifty burger for Ann Edwards, and two
women will be impregnated. No, all right, anyway, the well,
he's uh, he's very active, Lorena. He's uh. He's the
father of many checks spread. He's like Elon Musk. He's
just spreading his seed all over. He is the daddy. Yes,
(31:41):
all right, it is the the Ben Maler Show as well.
We press on and we are going to have but
I have a fun fact. I think you're the fun
I gotta get this fun fact. That the fun fact.
So they have crunched the numbers and it is now
proven the Clippers have a legitimate home court advantage because
(32:05):
of the wall. The data suggest the Clippers have gotten
a big bump in their new arena on court because
of teams missing foul shots. When they attempt to shoot
against the wall, they put like fifty rows. It's like
a college set up, very steep. Four thousand crazy Clipper
(32:25):
supporters there the people's team, and the data suggests that
only one team in the entire NBA in their home
games allowed a worse or had a benefit from a
worse foul shooting percentage than the Clippers. So they were
second in the entire NBA team shot that poorly from
(32:46):
the foul line because of the wall. It's all about
the wall. That is the fun fact of the hour.
