Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our naeber one, our number one
of our radio program. We talk pro football and chatter
about the status of Jimmy g. Would Jimmy Garoppolo makes
sense in Seattle? Will the forty nine ers accommodate Jimmy ge?

(00:25):
And what are you getting if you're the team that
picks up Garoppolo. We'll talk about all of that and
more right now in a spicy hot start to the
show on the podcast version. Your dreams have come true.
Our number one. Here it is. And you thought the

(00:46):
trading season was over? How dare you welcome? In the
beginning of another edition of the Ben Mathers Show. We
are in the air everywhere eyeball to eyeball, as we
huff and puff coast, stuck, coast, border to border and

(01:07):
beyond on the vast and supremely powerful microphones of FS
are emmanating live from the run as we run off
at the mouth from the Fox Sports Radio studios all
night long. It live. We're doing it live, unless we're not.

(01:32):
Maybe we're taping. I don't know, you'll have to decide.
Maybe this already who was recording earlier in the day
and I'm sleeping right now, and I'm saying no, no, no
no, no no, no, no, no, losers, What kind of moron
thisten is the radio this time of the night. What
kind of loser does a radio show at this time
of the night. Come on, I think I'm actually here.

(01:53):
Come on, I'm on my silk sheets right now, snoozing
away is what I'm doing. Anyway, Our lead this hour
coming from the National Football League the NFL. Why because
that pays the bills around these parts. And we are
just a couple of weeks away from the start of
training camp, which sounds great, It sounds wonderful start of

(02:15):
training camp, and then you realize that nothing actually happens
at the start of training camp, so then you gotta
wait another couple of weeks. But nonetheless, here we are,
and that's enough time to spark some gossip. And we're
all about that gossip. So we have a new juicy
rumor spinning round and round the quarterback carousel. It involves

(02:40):
the future of Jimmy g the man that had the
hutzpa to data porn star. How about that? Now, a
lot of guys want a data porn star, but many
of them who are in the public will not actually
go out in public with a porn star, but not
Jimmy g let's get I don't care, I'm doing it anyway.
Garoppolo has not drawn and a whole lot of interested here.

(03:01):
We are just before camp and he is still property
of the forty nine ers. But is the end near?
Is the end near? Despite a very lackluster trademarket, because
of a salary cap hit which is large and in charge,
Garoppolo's name has popped back up in the echo chamber.

(03:25):
And if you haven't heard about it, and possibly not,
maybe you don't pay attention to this kind of stuff.
We are told that a team from the division is
knocking on the door, just like that. You heard that.
You could actually hear the knock on the door. That's right,
there's are real sound effects you see that knocking on
the door. Unbelievable knock knock. That team the Seattle Seahawks,

(03:50):
Oh my god, the Seahawks. They have internally discussed the
possibility of grabbing Jimmy Garoppolo. So what does that mean?
Does that mean like Pete Carroll's eating a own up?
He said, hey, what do you get that Garoppolo guy? Hey,
maybe we ought to get him right, go to get
some water out of the machine in the break room. Yeah,

(04:12):
what's going on with that, Garoppolo? Well, they discussed it internally.
They discussed that. Now Garoppolo has one year remaining on
his contract, but that doesn't mean much. In the NFL.
Contracts are like toilet paper. They easily are flushed away.
And by all accounts, Trey Lance is ready to go.

(04:33):
The second year quarterback. And my friends who are forty
nine are fans, tell me that Trey Lance is the
Bee's knees. This guy is so good. How good is he?
If you couldn't bind Joe Montanna, Steve Young and Colin
Kaepernick and they all had a baby, that would be
Trey Lance. Okay, yeah, sure, I'll believe it when I

(04:56):
see it. I haven't seen it yet. Have you seen it?
I haven't seen it. Maybe you've seen it. Maybe you've
got better vision than me and you've seen it. I
haven't seen it. Nope. So Garoppolo underwent offseason surgery on
his throwing shoulder. So kin to a talk show host
having surgery on their vocal cords, it's a rather important

(05:17):
part of the body for what you do and that
I major red flag. I'm talking about Flag Day in China.
Lot of red, lot of red for other teams considering
the possibility of going down that road. So let us
discuss the question would Jimmy Garoppolo make sense for the Seahawks.

(05:41):
So let's play this out and pretend that this is
actually something and not nothing. And so would Jimmy Garoppolo
make sense for the Seahawks? I'm not in my head. Yes, yes,
I've got traveling Wilbury's pontoon boat and fuzzy dice and
we'll tie all of these random things that should not

(06:02):
be put together, but we will put them together and
see what we get. All right. So a the Seattle Seahawks,
if you look at the quarterback room, it is the
epitome of a flophouse. It just is all you talk
about a low rent district. That's the quarterback room. It's
a professional football team with Drew Locke and Gino Smith.

(06:23):
The personification of pathetic is the quarterback depth chart in Seattle.
And if you have two left fielders, you really don't
have one, and I think you know how that goes.
But Locke and Smith are together, the gruesome twosome at
the quarterback position and worse than flotsom and jetsam. So

(06:45):
now we are at the part of the story where
we've established that and Garoppolo he's the season veteran. He's
also damaged goods and his theme song for the last
couple of year years has been been produced by the
Traveling Wilburies back in the eighties. Handle with care the

(07:06):
tune there for Garoppolo very fragile. Put a lot of
extra foam packing peanuts in the box with Garoppolo. And
how part b of this would the forty Niners accommodate
Jimmy g it's a divisional opponent after all. See, that's
where things get a little foggy, and it's very difficult

(07:28):
to drive through the fog. So that's the problem. The
Niners have been on a very slow pontoon boat fishing
out in the middle of the Pacific, spending months out
at sea, and they've been waiting and waiting and waiting,
and the fish are not biting. The fish are not biting. Now,

(07:49):
why are the fish not biting? We know why because
Garoppolo has been red flag. As we said, he's snaked it.
When it comes to the injuries, so they don't call us,
We'll call you mantra Garoppolo's shoulder recovery allegedly, that's a weeze.
A word is scheduled on track and should and he
should begin throwing very shortly. There. He has to pass

(08:12):
a physical in order to be traded, which I believe
requires having the ability to breathe in and out. If
you have that, you pass the physical. I mean, I'm
not a doctor, but I can play one on the radio.
So the other option for the forty nine ers would
be to take a weight and see attitude, play the

(08:34):
old cat and mouse game, knowing the inevitable injury will
happen one of the thirty one other starting quarterbacks will
inevitably come up lame. And it would also be silly
for the Seahawks to trade Garoppolo, to trade him for

(08:57):
him for more than a bag of potato chips, like
stale potato chips, because the forty nine ers, if the
Seahawks just wait, the Niners are going to end up
releasing Jimmy g Now. Nevertheless, what about a divisional trade
we talked about its very rare. It happens about once
a decade. If you're old. You remember when Drew Bledsoe

(09:17):
was the starting quarterback for the Patriots and he was
traded to the Buffalo Bills divisional opponent. That was twenty
one years ago. And twelve years ago the Eagles traded
Donovan McNabb to the Washington Redskins. That wasn't name of
the team at the time. Were allowed to say it.
That was the name of the team. They were the
Redskins for some chunky soup to be named later. So

(09:39):
that was the way that worked. Art last word here,
So what are you getting if you pick up Garoppolo?
So Garoppolo is the equivalent of a grab bag. And
remember when you're a kid, you go to birthday party,
you'd be blindfolded. You stick your hand in, didn't know
what you were getting there. It's a mysterious toy. Possibly
you hope it's a good toy. Maybe great, could be

(10:00):
nake venom. You don't know. But coming off the shoulder surgery,
Garoppolo has been lavish with praise for his leadership. He's
owned a pair of lucky fuzzy dice for years and
they're really lucky. He's got a great record in the
regular season, thirty three and fourteen. Garoppolo's record as a

(10:23):
starter numbers are not particularly amazing. There are other quarterbacks
that have better stat lines but do not have the
gaudy win total. I go back to the fuzzy dice.
Garoppolos got seventy one touchdowns thirty eight interception. It's good,
but not the greatest of all time. And despite those
those middling numbers even worse in the playoffs playoffs, Jimmy

(10:45):
G's teams have been able to put the whammy on
opponents more than nine playoffs, as he's gotten to a
couple of NFC Championship games along for the ride in
the Caboose. And he was really bad last year, the
Niners still were able to win because Dallas Dak Prescott
doesn't know the clock. Green Bay Aaron Rodgers went off
on smoking mushrooms and it was unable to perform there

(11:07):
in the playoffs, but his teams have been able to
get it done. More importantly, though, he would be the
perfect Pete Carroll type of quarterback. Got some experience, it's
not his first barbecue, and we'll be more likely than
not happy to only throw the ball around twenty times
a game. Run heavy offense, which is Pete Carroll's wet dream.

(11:27):
He has an orgasm thinking about that offense. Loves the
nineteen eighties style throwback football, Hide the quarterback, it's all.
That's all Pete Carroll's into. It's all about that action,
all right. It is the Ben Mallers Show. If you

(12:10):
him we had a meeting and I said I had
the piece of paper. And now I'm looking for the
piece of paper and I don't see the piece of paper.
And I think somebody came in here. I'm gonna blame
Eddie Garcia and took the piece of paper out of
my bag. It's either that or Tysher. The former vegan

(12:30):
no longer an actual full term vegan, but only a
partial vegan. I don't know where it is, Chris, it
vanished unless this is it. I don't think we all

(13:39):
retired baseball player, washed up baseball player, used to be
good with the Yankees, says that he yelled at a

here ranting and raving about the latest chatta involving Jimmy Garoppolo.
But we have a Mallard riddle. We'll pay that off
right now. A blatant attempt to get you to listen.

(15:14):
To a a little bit longer and here it is. Derek Jeter,
washed up former baseball player says he yelled at a
guy in Starbucks because he mentioned blank and filming blank.
That's the question. What's the answer late night drug tests?
Is the guy spoiled the big news that Ralph Irvin

(15:34):
had on the fifth Hour podcast from Friday, Ralph's Out
of Here Now part of the Fox Sports Radio Alumni Association.
Furg Dog said he mentioned O J. Simpson that that
was the answer. Melcolman Mike says his ex ho J
Low he claims there. Robin Minnesota brings up the point

(15:57):
that the guy in the coffee shop mentioned that had
a booger hanging out of his nose. Oscar is going
with Noma Garcia para Benito the cowboy fan says the
answer to the riddle is that he yelled plastered Paul
only a fan account. He yelled it Stubby Clapp, you
know he's a word of his man. Yeah, Blair's dumpster.

(16:21):
That's a new fan account, says his twin brother Marcel
from Brooklyn, that that is the the problem. And Howard
Johnson Hojo says he yelled over raided over raided, Lou says.
The answers Phil rizzutto Hammerhead got it right. Actually it's

(16:41):
a bad job by him. Eric and Boston on the
monologue says a monologue Jimmy G is better than the
trash they have. Jimmy G won't win a super Bowl,
but you can be competitive. He's one of their onlay options.
He points out a Reek in Minnesota, otherwise known as
Eric says good leadoff monologue. The only team that will
deal inside the division the Vikings, He says, there, and

(17:06):
he puts a bunch of other words, and they're sure
it wasn't for quarterbacks, but he did it twice last draft.
Packers and lines are Do you have an answer, Eddie?
Please you have an answer? Oh yeah, he said to
Derek Jeter said he yelled at a guy in Starbucks
because he mentioned fl two Bay. Great answer, that is incorrect.
Does anyone else want to answer the roast time? No?
Not this time? Nobody wants to answer to it, all right.

(17:28):
Derek Jeter claims that he was in line online at
a Starbucks and some random guy behind him said to Jeter, Hey,
I just want to let you know that I'm giving
out gift baskets because you did. And Jeter said, he
turned around and said, you're an effing idiot, he claims

(17:50):
to the random guy, So gift baskets. He the answer.
And Derek Jeter interviewed recently denying the long standing rumor
that was published in the paper pages of the New
York Post over a decade ago. The tabloid The New
York Post running a story that Jet was called Jeter's

(18:12):
booty Halls, and they alleged in The New York Post
that Derek Jeter gave women who went to bed with
him and then left in the morning a nice dipped
basket of autograph memorability. So you get to stoop Jeter
and then you get an autographed baseball on the Louisville
Slugger Jets. Yeah, it's a great story. He says, He's

(18:37):
he's Upstay said that's not true. He got very defensive Jeter.
He said, people see this and said, how the f
did people come up with this? He said, blah blah
blah blah blah. Responding to that now and he didn't
talk much. Chris Jeter does not. The other Jeter story,
which is great is that if you wanted to go

(18:57):
to his house. I think this is still the case.
Suppose he has a like a wicker basket the phone, Yeah,
the phone basket. So no one can take any compromising
photos of Jeter. You can only imagine what's in that
house that he has there. Plans to sell off more
in Miami Marlins. Yeah he's done now, he's right. He
quit the Marlins. Right, he's out of it. That's right. Yeah,

(19:20):
he's gone now. I'm sure he'll get some figurehead job
with the Yankees if he doesn't already have one. Let's
go to the phones and a blast from the past.

do yourself a favor and listen to Inside the Parker
with Rob Parker on the iHeart Radio app or wherever
you get your podcast. Well, the home of my Pittsburgh
Steelers now has a stupid name. The stadium had been
known as Hines Field. It's opened over twenty years ago. Hine's,

(22:55):
a company based in Pittsburgh, had a deal for its
naming rights expired before last season. They agreed on a
one year extension, but could not agree on another one,
and now the all of the Steelers beginning this year
will be known as Acroshre Stadium. Terms of the fifteen
year deal we're not released. What the hell is Acrosuret.

(23:17):
I think Kope mentioned this yesterday. All these stadiums are
being named after these insurance companies there. Yeah, I actually
found out they're Graaby some Grand Rabbids in Michigan. They're
basically a big insurance company in various fields. Very exciting. Yeah, well,
your insurance is where the money is. That you go
where the money is right right now. People need insurance.
The government forces you to get insurance, so you have
to pay for insurance, so the insurance companies get money,

(23:38):
and you know it's the way to go. I mean,
as a Steeler fan, I don't like this. And yet,
if you know, if somebody, some insurance company said we'd
like to name your house and give you a lot
of money, I'd be like, Okay, you got it. I
think my only beef is that all of these insurance
companies and loan companies whatever, they're usually more than like
two syllables. And I think the best stadium names are
like two syllables, best like so far that'll roll off

(24:00):
the tongue, allegiant, accusher, No, those are weird, no, and
the other thing. And I mentioned this in our production meeting.
You were not there, you missed the production meaning bad
yet about you. But I pointed out, and Chris was
in the production meeting. I pointed out that it doesn't matter.
They can change the name. People are still gonna call
it Hines Field, just like Staples Center people still called
Staples Center. They don't call it the Crypto or whatever
it is. And once people establish a name, it's gonna

(24:21):
take a long time for people to go with the
new name. And a lot of people will never go
with the new name because people don't like to change
and they like what it is. And this is the
way of the world. I still think of even if
it's a it's a new ballpark, I still call it
Tiger Stadium up in Detroit. Sometimes it's not to America.
I know people in Chicago they call a White Sox
Park Kamiskey Park. It's not because it changes names every

(24:43):
like two years. It's some dumb cell phone or whatever.
It is a mile high, mile high, Yeah, the Broncos
and mile high. Well, they have a sponsor and then
they say at mile high, right, isn't that? Yeah? But
I feel most people just say mile high. I don't
think it's even it's still in Vestco. It's not anymore, right, No,
I don't believe it. They changed so quickly you can
literally can't keep track of it. Yeah, Like most of

(25:03):
these are supposed to be like landmarks, but if you
keep changing the name, like hell, are you supposed to
remember what the landmark is? Why? What's so stupid too?
And these NFL teams now it's like twenty years they
need a new stadium. It's so dumb. You go to
Europe and there's soccer stadiums from like the eighteen hundred.
They have some new ones, like Hotspur Stadium, but yeah,
a lot of them. Like I know some Red Sox guys.

(25:24):
My favorite club over there in Italy is like the
team in Rome, and they wanted to replace like the
stadium that's been around since the Olympics in the thirties,
and they got ran out of town for that. Nobody
wants a new stadium, like, oh that's good. I like
the history. Yeah here, blow it up, get a wrecking ball,
you don't care. I kind of understood getting rid of
the multipurpose stadiums like three rivers because those suck, like
those those Nobody liked having a baseball diamond. Oh well, yeah.

(25:46):
The problem with that you couldn't even tell. You watch
a baseball game in Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Cincinnati, Leis, you couldn't
tell they all look the same it's like the same
damn steam many let's call the phones and let's say
hello now to blind Scott. Let me punch up the
right line. Hello blind Scott in Boston. Oh hey, um

(26:07):
oh yeah, that Fenway Parks a dump though we wouldn't
want to save that thing. You should barely get in there.
They need a shoehorn to get out of there. There's
none enough bathrooms. One time I got torn out of
there going the bathroom down in the concourse. Hey, I
was gonna tell you I met ed before you've met
him too. He's a really handsome trud If anybody can
check out a photo, and that's a good looking man,
you know, I like to before the show sided, I

(26:31):
took some of that for him as product, some of
that generic viagra. I was loving Edie update. I thought
he sounded so good, you know, I love that guy.
I'm all, I'm all stood up right now here, you
know what I mean? Oh, you're standing at attention there? Now?
How do you? How do you know Eddin' Spokane's good looking?
You met him? You're blind? You're blind? Scott Turking photo

(26:51):
and I shared it with my mom and then you know,
couple my girlfriends and they say, that's a really good
looking man. He's tall. I guess he has a full
head of hair. You know, I wish I did. Uh Yeah, Christine,
she's crazy too. She's even better than Ed. She's you know,
really polite. She's great to talk to her. She can

(27:12):
really carry a conversation. I don't think Ed should talk
when he calls. You should put Christine on, you know
what I mean. They're a great couple. It's funny he
said he owns that landscape and company. It's just like
one lawnmower in a crappy pickup truck. I don't think
that worked out much worked on my product. That's very nice.
That's not very nice, blind scut But you know Subway,
the chain. Subway started with one shop and I think Connecticut,

(27:35):
and now you know, they used to be huge. They're
not as big as they were, but they're all over
the country. So it starts small. Blinds. Guy, didn't Amazon
start selling books and now look yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
I gotta started selling drug again. It's that small. I
can fill my capital, you know what I mean? Give
me the the only blind drug dealer. I don't know
that that's a good idea. Yeah, yeah, I'm excited about

(27:56):
the Talent Show coming up. We need some new talent
this year. I don't want to those same hacks that
prerecord their songs before and then that's not the talent
or anybody could do that. I could use auto tune
and be like the best singer on there, Like all right,
so are you what act are you doing that? The
Talent Show is next week. I can't believe it's coming up.
It's sneaking up on us. So if you want to
be in the Talent Show, it's the day after the

(28:17):
All Star Game, so not the night of the All
Star Game because it's a little confusing. So coop, what
is the exact data on that? What are we determine
Wednesday and the Thursday? Is that right? Yeah? That is correct?
Should should we? Should we band? Prerecorded? Well? Is trash
Ban that guy? No? No, you're you're jealous because he
wins every year. Baby. The only problem is like some

(28:39):
of our some of our lists like Kathy and Madison,
some of these people, and Kathy gave us the Hey
Mona and she cannot do it live because of the
worst she's living, so she's not able to do it.

always entertaining. Speaking of entertaining, who goofed? I've got to
know what a story. This is the Entertainment and Sports

(29:46):
Network did an entire segment about a Job Morant quote
about Michael Jordan. There was one problem with us, you
see this, Eddie. The problem with this segment they did
over at that fledgling network in Bristol, Connecticut. Of course
not I don't either, but somebody pointed this out to me, Eddie,
that there was a job Morant story that was quoted

(30:09):
and he did say some things that were interesting in there.
And then the story that got picked up, uh, was
a quote that claimed, if you put MJ in today's game,
this is supposedly from John morand if you put MJ
in today's game, he's just another superstar. We got me Staff,
Luca Dame Trey, and then guys like Bron Kadi, Jannis Kauai.

(30:33):
It's not just one superstar and a bunch of you know,
average dudes. You feel so, they claimed that was a
job Moran quote, and ESPN did an entire segment of
cable television on that and it was a fake quote
from ball Sack Sports. I'm sorry, who is who is who? This?

(30:54):
This is a social media account ball Sack Sports, Eddie.
When you want your sports takes go to the ball sack,
and so they were just goofing around on They make
these look very professional, these quotes, and then people in
television who are so desperate for content. Occasionally we'll do
an entire segment apparently on a fake quote, including they

(31:18):
had what's the guy's name, the former Celtic who's on
a lot of his ESPN shows, Kendrick Perkins. Kendrick Perkins. Yeah,
Perk was breaking down a ball sack quote, not realizing
he had been duped. It's pretty good. I feel bad
for Sports Talk Berry. Sports Talk Berry used to do
that stuff all the time, but now he's been trumped
by this ball sack sports anyway, we will continue at
