Speaker 1 (00:00):
Dingdong. It's our number two, our number two of the
original Recipe podcast and a Happy Tuesday to you, Boomer
Asias and he won an MVP back in the Stone Age,
he says three NFL owners took Shader Sanders off their
draft board because of issues not related to football. Are

(00:23):
you surprised by this? Also, after the Super Bowl win,
the Philadelphia football team visited President Trump, well some of
them did. How many players showed up? We'll talk about that. Also,
how does the scorecard read? On the Eagles visit to
the White House and number one pick cam Ward is
given permission by the Oilers legend Warren Moon to wear

(00:46):
number one his old jersey, warn moons old jersey which
is retired, but Lawrence Taylor denying Abdul Carter the chance
to wear number fifty six with the Giants. Where you're
at on the unretiring of uniform numbers in the NFL.
We'll talk about that and more here. It is our
number two band from the Board, Band from the Board.

(01:10):
Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben
Mather Show. We are in the air everywhere using pitchforks
as we are shaking and Bacon coast to coast, border,
the border and beyond on the vast and excessively powerful

(01:30):
microphones of fsre emmating live from the words as we
are the home of the winged Words the Fox Sports
Radio studios, which are approved by mister Irrigation. As we
are rolling into this hour, and it is made possible
in part by ti Iraq. For over forty years, ti

what and where they drive, ship fast and free back

Dog and ALF with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation,
tire rack dot com. The way tire buying should be.
As we are hanging out with you and our lead
this hour. Post mortem, Day two post mortem NFL Draft

(02:19):
twenty twenty five which ended back on Saturday, but still
has legs. It still has legs now the traumatic fall
of Shedur Sanders free fall in free falling out of
day one that was on Thursday, out of day two

(02:39):
on Friday and then made it all the way to
Saturday and even made it past that first round on Saturday.
And so this continues to be analyzed. Zu Bruder film style,
every angle covered here. The microscope is out analyzing this now.
If you've not heard the latest chatter, possibly not longtime,

(03:02):
longtime NFL commentary actually played a lot of people don't
even remember that. But boomers Sisin won an MVP award.
So Boomer hangs out with rich people and people that
are in the know in the NFL. And so Boomer
Assisin on his New York radio show claimed that Shade
Sanders was taken off of draft boards by multiple owners.

(03:26):
That's an interesting wrinkle, Yeah, multiple owners and why is that? Well,
according to Boomer Asiasin, he said, the attitude of Shoudur
Sanders was very off putting to many many coaches, in
general managers the league. He added that after talking to
three different personnel people in the NFL this weekend, they

(03:47):
did not even have him meeting Shadar Sanders on the board.
They took him off, and they took him off because
the one owner said, take him off. I don't want
that guy. I don't want this entitled per on our team.
Close quote. All right, so let us discuss the question.
That's a pretty damning accusation that this came from the

(04:08):
ownership down. Boomer Sisen saying that three owners, three NFL owners,
took Shadur Sanders off the twenty twenty five draft board.
Are you surprised by this report? Do you believe this report?
So I've got blind spot, coke zero, and rings, and
we will combine all of these things together and we.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
Are going to make the Baba Ganooshe. We're gonna make
the babaganosh.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
So number, you get a number. It is all after
the fact reporting. No one said this prior to the draft.
There was like one or two people that said not
really a first round quarterback. I had mentioned in previous
episodes of the show that based on the scouting reports
that I was reading, Shade Sanders is like a second

(04:55):
round pick, second round pick, and he was going to
get drafted in the first round or the end of
the first round because of his dad. Well, it turns out,
if you believe what happened happened the way it happened,
it's because of his dad that he was not drafted
in part, even in the second round of the NFL draft.

(05:16):
And if you do the malor math though, and malor
math is a version of math, it is not the
final answer on math.

Speaker 2 (05:23):
So there are thirty two teams.

Speaker 1 (05:25):
So if three owners, if three owners said X nay
on the Shaudur Sanders A, that is about ten percent,
a little less than ten percent. I maybe it was
nine point two or something like that. It's right around
ten percent. So that would leave ninety to ninety one
percent if you want to round up of NFL teams

(05:46):
that were available. I don't keep in mind many teams
did not need a quarterback. Not every team drafted a quarterback.
So there is that, but it does tell you if
accurate I believe it is that Shouldeur Sanders is a
special kind of say it with me now, Mama Luke.
He's a special kind of Mama Luke, and not a
special kind of talent. That's the problem. You can be

(06:08):
the biggest a hole in the room as long as
you can back it up and make the company money.
And it's really no different in the business I'm in
in the radio world is in the football world. Teams
will tolerate a lot a lot from a star player.

(06:28):
You can be a diva, you can be an a hole,
you can be a schmuck, you can have off field drama,
you can have all of that as long as your
performance is above and beyond your replacement, and you always
do this cost benefit analysis. There have been people I've
worked with in radio who were terrible people who got
a lot of money for the company, made a lot

(06:50):
of money and the advertiser happy. But once the advertisers
were no longer happy and the audience went away, they
quickly vanished as well because they were schmocks and I
couldn't wait to get rid of them. And it does appear, though,
based on all of the various reports here, that the

(07:11):
NFL as a whole voted through the first four rounds
of the draft that Chuldure is a special kind of
varmit that he suffered from a blind spot. And there
was this extreme lack of awareness. And you see people
all the time that are not aware that they A
lot of times you get older and you just that

(07:32):
you're not aware, but you just don't give a crap.
You're all bedraggled, you go out there, you got the
you're a mess.

Speaker 2 (07:38):
You don't care about your parents, right, but you're not aware.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
In this case, it's just totally being obtuse to reading
the room and just thinking your God's gift of football,
and you're not going to not going to work with
wor to be I mean, there was a report that
Choueddur sayders I saw this somewhere. I forget where that
he was. He had a VIP peace section at his

(08:01):
pro day. And that's it's a little much. It's a
little much.

Speaker 2 (08:09):
But there you go.

Speaker 1 (08:10):
And it's like that internet meme. You know, you f
around and find out, and the more you f around,
the more you're gonna find out and should have found out.
And it doesn't seem like it's affecting him by all accounts.
He's still totally on planet Shouduur and it doesn't seem
to matter. And okay, now page two to the White
House we go. That is where the Philadelphia football team,

(08:33):
the Eagles gees merch, Merch, merch. The Eagles visited the
White House for the first time as a franchise following
that thumping they put on Cansas City in Super Bowl
fifty nine. Now, not every member of the Eagles was there,
much to the delight of many media hacks who were
trying to look at anything here to pump up the negativity.

(08:56):
But now a notable absence, as the President of the
United State, Donald Trump addressed the Eagles. You did not
have quarterback Jalen Hurts. He was a no show. Aj
Brown was not there. DeVante Smith among those that chose
not to show up to the White House. And how
does the scorecard look?

Speaker 2 (09:15):
Though?

Speaker 1 (09:16):
All right, how does the scorecard look? And the Eagles
visit to the White House. So I grated it this way,
and I saw a clip big Dom was the star
of the show.

Speaker 2 (09:24):
Big Dom got introduced first before anyone else.

Speaker 1 (09:28):
But based on the clips that I watched on the YouTube,
this happened while I was sleeping. I scored it a
coke zero if you will, as let me point this out,
coke zero meaning a zero sum game.

Speaker 2 (09:41):
It was a zero sum game.

Speaker 1 (09:42):
The Eagles claimed that Jalen Hurts could not attend because
of a quote scheduling issue, is what they said, because
you just wander into the White House at the last
minute and it's not playing months and months in advance.
Of course, come on, yeah, now, keep it on you.
You don't have to do this, right, it's not a
requirement you have to go to the White House or anything.
But as we pointed out when the Dodgers visited the

(10:03):
White House back in the beginning.

Speaker 2 (10:06):
Part of the month.

Speaker 1 (10:08):
I think it was like April, the first week in April,
the second week in April, a couple of weeks back.
You're not required to go to the White House. However,
by not going to the White House, you make it
all about you, right, you make it all about you.
And I would use an example like Mookie Betts not
a fan of President Trump. That's fine, you know, I
don't have to agree on everything politically or whatever.

Speaker 3 (10:29):
He does.

Speaker 1 (10:29):
Not a real fan of Donald Trump. He showed up
to the White House. And why did he show up
to the White House. Dave Roberts also showed up. They
showed up because it was about unity. It was about
team unity. It's not about politics and all that stuff.
The reason it's a zero sum game, like Jalen Hurts,
obviously he's not into it and all that stuff. He
made it all about himself, right, It met all myself.
But the reason it's a zero sum game is because

(10:50):
while Hertz was making some kind of political statement, you
had Sequon Barkley who was like fully immersed in the
whole White House experience.

Speaker 2 (10:59):
The Eagles running back.

Speaker 1 (11:01):
Not only did he show up to the White House,
he was hanging out with the president. The day before
they I think they were in Florida and they flew
back on Air Force one. That would be pretty cool
to going Air Force one when that flew back to DC.
So he golfed with the president and then Barkley was
getting killed for that, and then he had a mic
drop moment the Eagles running back on social media, he

(11:24):
wrote lol. He said, some people are really upset because
I played golf. I played golf and flew to the
White House with the President. Maybe I just respect the office,
Sekuan said, not a hard concept to understand. Just golfed
with Obama not too long ago and look forward to
finishing my round with Trump. Now you get out of

(11:47):
my mentions, Barkley said, and with all the politics and have.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
An amazing day. So there you go.

Speaker 1 (11:53):
Mike dropped momut there from Sequon Park. So again zero
some game you had Jalen Hurts, some made it all
about him, and then had Saquon Barkley. He was like
fully into it, like he's won the whole thing and
and all that. All right, No final point. We go
to Nashville, Tennessee, a developing store with zero interest about
zero zero some game. Zero interest in the number one

(12:17):
and the pick in the cam Ward cam Ward, no buzz,
no juice, no excitement. Cam Ward goes at the very
top and he has been given permission. We are told
by Euler's legend Warren Moon to wear the number one
jury number one and Warren Moon's old uniform number that

(12:37):
had been retired. So you got that going on. And
then in the northeast corridor you have Lawrence Taylor who
denied Abdul Carter, the Penn State defensive Star, from wearing
number fifty six. So no number fifty six for abdual Carter,
that number retired by the Giants. So the question is

(12:59):
where are you at on unretiring uniform numbers? Where do
you stand on this? You have two different players asking
for numbers to be unretired. One of them got their
wish and the other one did not. So I am
a fan of the rings in this case, not onion rings.
I'm talking rings here. Retired numbers are dumb, d dumb, dumb, dumb.

(13:23):
I've done many maland monologues over the years how stupid
retired numbers are, how ridiculous they are. I don't support them.
I've never supported them. Some teams have retired multiple numbers
or player that's players. That's ridiculous, and you shouldn't retire numbers.
And I've said this from the very beginning, and I've
maintained a consistent hot take when it comes to retired

(13:43):
uniform numbers. The ring of honor is the way to
do this. The ring of honor, you honor the name.
You don't need to retire the number.

Speaker 2 (13:51):
You honor the name.

Speaker 1 (13:51):
Now, I am fine if you want to have certain numbers.
They do this a lot in college football, where there's
like legacy numbers. Like our guy, LaVar Arrington, our colleague
here at Fox Sports Radio. His number is not retired
by Penn State is number eleven, but that's a legacy number.
They give that to whoever the stud defensive play player
is at Penn State, it's linebacker. You at University of

(14:13):
Southern California USC number fifty five. Same thing. I mean,
as a younger junior, say ow wore that been legendary
defensive players that have won that, but they give that
out for star defensive players. It's a legacy number. I
believe Georgia does the same thing with herschel Walker they
didn't retire his number thirty four.

Speaker 2 (14:31):
They give it.

Speaker 1 (14:32):
Out for rare and appropriate occasions. And that's the way
it should be. And I'd do the same thing in
the NFL. I'd unretire every number in the NFL. I
don't think it's that outrageous. You just don't give out
those numbers. But if there's a great quarterback that comes
to the forty nine ers and wants to wear Joe
Montana's old number, I'm okay. Or if somebody wants to
wear number twelve and they happen to be a great quarterback,

(14:53):
a young quarterback for the Patriots and they want to
wear that number, and you're okay, shirt fine, why not?
Who says that's my position and I'm not changing it.

Actually, there is something expected to be in the mailroom tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (18:44):
Tomorrow, Okay, so tomorrow there'll be something in the mailroom,

there's some mail. And I think he's moving to Chicago,
So I don't I don't know how that's gonna work,
but you know, hey, why not?

delivering newspapers fifty years. There you go, Thank you, Doug,
appreciate that. Oh not that it's a long time fifteen years,
it's a long time. Late night drug tester says maybe
Warren Moon should have given up his retired number in

(20:12):
exchange for the Titans never wearing the oiler throwbacks again. Yeah,
that's pretty dumb dumb, the dumb dumb dumb you should
not should not do it like the you shouldn't the oilers.
The Titan should not wear oilers uniforms. The Nationals shouldn't
wear exposed uniforms. I don't think they does. The Oklahoma
City Thunders shouldn't do anything with the Sonics. It's all stupid.

(20:36):
Let's go to the Bay Area now, and she's got
her star charts out. She's hanging out there in Berkeley.
We say hello to Andrea. Hello Andrea, welcome.

But thank you. That's very cool.

Yeah, some more positive Jupiter energy. Good leads me to think,
what's the latest with Benny versus the Penny.

Speaker 1 (21:28):
Well, they're having meetings over there. Yeah, this is around
the time they have meetings at NBC and then we'll
find out in the next couple of months. So nothing, nothing,
we haven't been told. No, So that's the show has
not been canceled. We haven't been told yes. So they're
working on that, but hopefully the show will be picked up.

Speaker 2 (21:46):
For another year.

Speaker 1 (21:46):
We would love to do another season of Beny Versus
the Penny, but I've not heard either way on that.
So it's in the It's a corporate machine over there,
as you know, Andrea, there's a lot of people involved
in so everyone's got to sign off and we'll see.

Speaker 2 (22:01):
I don't know.

Speaker 8 (22:02):
Well, I remember when I accurately predicted opportunities and abundance,
and that's right.

Speaker 1 (22:08):
You were on that. Yes, you you called that. You
do remember that you said things were looking up and
things were going to go. Man, you didn't know, you
had no idea. I had not told anyone about that,
and you you did call the shot.

Speaker 2 (22:18):
Good job by you.

Speaker 8 (22:19):
And we have the new moon also, which is some
nice new beginning.

Speaker 2 (22:23):
Which moon is it?

Speaker 4 (22:23):
Nen?

Speaker 2 (22:23):
Do we what's the name of the moon?

Speaker 8 (22:25):
The new moon in Tarres?

Speaker 2 (22:27):
Oh, Newman in tai.

Speaker 1 (22:28):
See, there's a moon in my Taurus, is what there is?
Sh is like Shannon Sharp. I mean, it's unblieved. I
got these emails from Shannon Sharp's attorney. I mentioned this
on my podcast on Friday, the Fifth Hour podcast. I
somehow ended up on this email list and it has
all the text messages between Shannon Sharp and the The

(22:51):
Only Fans model, accusing of them of everything.

Speaker 2 (22:53):
And then so I can't say how.

Speaker 1 (22:54):
Many people have emailed me trying to get me to
afford them that that that email. Oh everyone wants to
read all the tawdry messages. Wow. Man, people are voyeurs.
They're into it. Yeah, you know it.

Speaker 8 (23:05):
That's why we like your tourist energy because it's really,
you know, very dedicated and determined, and you know it,
doesn't you kind of go with.

Speaker 1 (23:15):
The Yeah, I gotta go with the float down. And
speaking of you, you were a Mets fan and an
A's fan, and the A's left you to go to Sacramento?
Are you going to go? Have you decided yet? And
now last we spoke, you were thinking about maybe going
to it over the Sacramento to see a game or
something like that.

Speaker 2 (23:30):
Have you made a determination? Will you be going or not?

Speaker 8 (23:34):
I must say it's not really on my to do.

Speaker 1 (23:36):
Okay, not doing it? There you go, not going?

Speaker 8 (23:39):
How about those Mets? They're doing pretty exciting.

Speaker 1 (23:42):
They are doing very well. They kicked the crap out
of the Nationals. Now, that was an earlier game on Monday,
but they were about over. They won again today, nineteen
to five.

Speaker 2 (23:51):
They won that game, man, that's true.

Speaker 8 (23:53):
That's like a football score. So I'm really happy for them.
And you know, win loser, draw. It's always fun to
be on your show.

Speaker 2 (24:01):
And you know, well, thank you.

Speaker 1 (24:02):
We love having you and I know you're a big
star in the Bay Are and I'm glad you work
us into your rotation there, so thank you for that.
And I have a wonderful night. Thank you the great
to Andrea. All right, appreciate that there's Andrea and Berkeley.

Speaker 2 (24:15):
Check it out.

Speaker 6 (24:15):
It's just the sweetest, very kind, very kind woman.

Speaker 2 (24:18):
And we thank her for being part of the show.

Speaker 1 (24:21):
Josh writes in and says Mallard did tell the Steelers
not to draft a quarterback and hopes Aaron Rodgers signs
with them, or did they just say Mason Rudolph is
our guy. Ha ha ha, dk Metcalf welcome to Pittsburgh,
ha ha, says Josh.

Speaker 2 (24:38):
There's still little nuggets.

Speaker 1 (24:41):
That Aaron Rodgers is going to end up with the Steelers,
although he hasn't signed yet, has not signed. What do
we have your supermarkets? Steve says, I think I listened
to all your live reads. I don't think you have
done a ship station read in a while. There you go.
I wonder if that's why you guys stopped getting mail.
I think it's only been a couple it's only been

(25:02):
a couple of days since we did a ship station
read that.

Speaker 7 (25:05):
And it's only been a couple of days since I
haven't gotten mail.

Speaker 1 (25:08):
Yeah, and one calm down, Chuck or Joe says, I'm
an hour late on your birthday? Did Filexus jump out
of a cake?

Speaker 2 (25:15):
Yet?

Speaker 1 (25:15):
We've not had Felexis jump out.

Speaker 2 (25:16):
Of a cake. I have not had that happen. Uh,
there you go.

Speaker 1 (25:20):
Larry D says, Hello, thank you, Larry, appreciate that very kind.
Don't need all that cake that definitely don't need that
cake for sure. Hey, we're gonna be hanging out in
Vancouver coming up this show we're doing. We're not doing
the show from there, but we're gonna have a Mallard
meet and greet in Vancouver.

Speaker 2 (25:38):
How cool is that.

Speaker 1 (25:39):
Going to be? And we're very excited. We've been on
and off the radio various affiliates in Vancouver over the
years and we've gotten some some good feedback.

Speaker 2 (25:49):
I want it.

Speaker 1 (25:49):
We used to have a kid caller from Vancouver who's
all growing up.

Speaker 2 (25:53):
Now. I wonder if he's going to show up to.

Speaker 1 (25:55):
The Mallard meet and greet.

Speaker 2 (25:55):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (25:56):
I have no idea who, if anyone's gonna show up,
but we will be there. And the plan is now
we're coming up here on the end of April. Today
is the twenty ninth of April, So the plan is
we will be hanging out at a Mallard meet and
greet on Thursday, May twenty ninth. Is gonna be at
the court Side on Maine right there on Main Street

(26:18):
in Vancouver. And I look this place up pretty cool.
A lot of the information, pretty much everything is on
the podcast from Friday. I'm gonna post something in the
next couple of days on social media.

Speaker 4 (26:28):
It looks nice.

Speaker 1 (26:29):
It looks really cool, right, Like the menu, there's like
ben friendly food.

Speaker 3 (26:32):
You know.

Speaker 1 (26:32):
I'm worried about me talking to the third person. Thanks
to Niko by the way for putting all this together,
and he's kind of organizing everything with you Lorraina and
Coop and whatnot. So would be that night. We're not
gonna have a live show that night, but we will
be hanging out with the people. Now, we're all flying
in that day, on that Thursday, So it depends on

(26:53):
if the flight's the lay or anything. But the plan
is to be there probably about by six thirty or seven,
and it just hang out until like ten or so
and just have a good time. And then we'll also
be at a soccer game the white Caps, the Vancouver
white Caps playing the Portland Timmy.

Speaker 2 (27:14):
Wolves.

Speaker 1 (27:15):
Anyway, that'll be on Saturday. That's Saturday, which I believe
was the thirty first of May.

Speaker 2 (27:23):
I think I think that's right. Anyway, were hanging out there.

Speaker 1 (27:26):
That game starts about six to thirty, so there's a
couple of chances to see us, but hopefully you'll come
out say hello and all that.

Speaker 2 (27:31):
Let's go to the phones.

Speaker 1 (27:32):
Let's say hello to Eenie Meenie, miney moll.

Speaker 2 (27:35):
Let's go to who do we want he?

Speaker 1 (27:38):
Let's go to Blind Scott on the North end of Boston. Hello,
Blind Scott.

Speaker 7 (27:45):
Oh hey Ben. They say it's your birthday, Ben, and
you know I've been with you for so long. In
twenty fourteen, I was in icee you during Ben's birthday,
almost died, and then I spent thirty days in the
psych board with Ben's fans. There was people that never
spoke before. There were non speaking schizophrenics that recognized me
from Ben's show and they were speaking to me. And

(28:07):
I mean, I'll tell you, this man has been the
greatest man in my life. He has been more of
an influence on me than anybody else in a positive way.
He's always been it for me. It's my brother's birthday
today too, and I haven't talked to my brother in
ten years, and it's no hard feeling about that. But
this man has replaced my brother in more weights not.
He has given me famous advice like don't hang around

(28:29):
a holes. Yes, email me too much where I live,
I'll call the FBI.

Speaker 2 (28:35):
I remember that.

Speaker 1 (28:36):
Yes, I still have a collection when you've gone unhinged
and sent me manifesto emails with a lot of very
interesting comments about my life that you've sent in there.

Speaker 7 (28:48):
Yeah, you never were really scared, were you?

Speaker 8 (28:50):
Like?

Speaker 7 (28:51):
I don't think I ever posed any type of threat
to you I think.

Speaker 1 (28:54):
Of, And I must say that you handled me yelling
at you. If you will better than like Mark, the
full name guy who just left the show finally, because he.

Speaker 7 (29:08):
Looks like I've bothered Ben a lot over the years.
I'm not like that well of a person, and Ben
has took me under his wing and he's let me
be on his hold. For Ben on hold for the
past five months, I've been having it really hot.

Speaker 1 (29:20):
Well, you complained about being on hold, so now I'm
getting you off the show. It sounds like you were
working out. Were you on a treadmill or something?

Speaker 9 (29:28):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (29:28):
No, I was like when you called it, Yeah, well
I was moisturizing my whole body actually, so I was
worried when I grabbed the phone in my hand, was
gonna slip up.

Speaker 2 (29:36):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (29:38):
Coop wants to hear more. Coop wants to hear more
about that.

Speaker 7 (29:41):
Yeah, it was in the show. I haven't even been
able to do like anything that was going to make
me so happy.

Speaker 1 (29:45):
Coop wants to know what moisturizer you're using.

Speaker 2 (29:47):
He wants to know. No, I don't care.

Speaker 7 (29:49):
Apple, apple and cherry.

Speaker 1 (29:50):
Apple and cherry all right, Coop's giving that a thumbs up.

Speaker 2 (29:53):
All right.

Speaker 7 (29:54):
You know, felexis like, imagine if Flexic could go to
the hospital and I hope the stigure goes really well.
I know flexs, I love Flex's. Imagine if flex it's
that's the drag queensing at the hotel, they would call
the cops so quick and like get the whole plate
for you.

Speaker 1 (30:06):
You're saying that would not go over well in Buffalo,
that the drag queen foot surgery would not go well.

Speaker 7 (30:12):
No, no, it's weird. Weird. Think about upstate New York
is like a lot of trans people think they need
to move up there because it's like a trans haven.
But then you're in the cat skills. It's like woo.
You know, you want to run away to be urban,
like an urban.

Speaker 2 (30:25):
They go urban. That's the key. The urban living is
the way to go.

Speaker 1 (30:28):
All right, well listen blind, to sleep through.

Speaker 7 (30:31):
This because I had a fight today. Maybe I might
fight this guy outside to I'm Salem and PALMNT Street.

Speaker 2 (30:36):
Make sure to record it so we get video of
the fight.

Speaker 7 (30:38):
Okay, yeah, happy birthday.

Speaker 1 (30:40):
All I thank you are no mention of Fred Toucher's
a good job. But you all right there you go away,
Blind Scott where he goes and he knows well. A
player we've heard of in Major League Baseball has asked
to be de moated. That would be Jose alboo Hey,

(31:00):
the longtime leadoff hitter for the a Holes. Al Boove
asked out of the leadoff spot and claimed that he
needed more time to get from a left field work
on his left field game as he's been demoted to
the outfield. Al Bouve saying that before the game he

(31:23):
actually did hit a home run in the game on Monday. However,
I believe the nerdstat, the War stat, he is a negative.
War al Bouve that he's actually been a negative despite
all the resume, you know, the fake resume, the bogus
MVP award that he won, wall cheating, the every every

(31:44):
accomplishment has been tainted. None of them count for al Bouve.
He's not a Hall of Famer. He asked out of
the leadoff spot. So I went, I checked. He's batting second.
So how big a difference you realize? If you're batting second,
you still have to be at the start of the game,
you have to be warming up because the hitter goes

(32:05):
in the leadoff hitter and then you're in the on
deck circle.

Speaker 2 (32:08):
So how exactly does that change anything? But what do
I know.

Speaker 1 (32:14):
Let's say hello to Tony in the Bay Area. Hello, Tony, welcome.

Speaker 9 (32:19):
What a crowd. What a crowd? I can tell by
all the blank stairs, the melon malitious here in full forest.
As I look at my contemporaries, I see e dog
and angry Bill, and I need to make better life choices.

Speaker 7 (32:31):
I would like to have.

Speaker 9 (32:32):
A moment of silence for OJ so I can hear
if he's sneaking up behind me. The other day, this
guy walked in on me and his mom. You think
he can't see Speaking of jerks, David Vasse thought we
were honoring him. But it's not bibblehead night and Ben
Maler once said he wore a rams hat over his head.
Oh sorry, I missed that one up. Well, I guess
I should hang the fuck up.

Speaker 1 (32:53):
Okay, thank you? Yes, all right, Well there you go.

Speaker 2 (32:57):
That was really good.

Speaker 1 (33:00):
Big fan of Tony in the Bay You'll have to
hear the podcast to hear the end.

Speaker 2 (33:04):
Of that phone call.

Speaker 1 (33:05):
Was I supposed to dump that?

Speaker 2 (33:06):
No, it's overnight. We're in the safe harbor. You know
we would complain about that.

Speaker 1 (33:11):
We all use that word, right, kids use that on
the playground more than anyone Charlie. Charlie's backing down. Hell, Charlie. Whatever,
Hey Charlie, what's going on? Charlie?

Speaker 2 (33:24):
Oh, thank you Charlie. I appreciate that, buddy, very kind
of you. And what's what's going on?

Speaker 1 (33:29):
Well, you haven't heard from you in a while.

Speaker 2 (33:30):
Where you been, Charlie?

Speaker 3 (33:32):
Uh, really nothing going on?

Speaker 1 (33:37):
Nothing to talk. You had no you know, you had
no hot takes. You were out of hot takes? Is
that why?

Speaker 3 (33:43):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (33:44):
Yeah, See, I gotta do the show every day. I
got to come up with hot takes every day. You
only need to call up when you have a hot take.
You don't have to worry about Colin if you don't
have a hot take. I got to come in here,
whether I got a hot take or not. I gotta
do a show. Well, it's kind of like, Charlie.

Speaker 2 (34:01):
When you go to school.

Speaker 1 (34:02):
You know, some days you're not really into it, right,
you get the homeschool thing. Some days you're not really
into it every day, right, some days are more into
it than others.

Speaker 2 (34:09):
Is that correct?

Speaker 3 (34:11):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (34:11):
But you got to do it right. You gotta do
It's part of your deal.

Speaker 3 (34:15):
Yeah. So I have got NBA Playoffs predictions for games.

Speaker 1 (34:21):
Okay, we'd like to alert all the affiliates. Charlie in
the greater Dallas area is about to make some bold
NBA picks. Here we go go ahead.

Speaker 3 (34:34):
Well, of course the Celtics will kill the Magic.

Speaker 1 (34:40):
Well, that is a bold take considering it's three games
to one.

Speaker 2 (34:43):
So that's a hot take. That's a good take.

Speaker 3 (34:47):
Why, yes, But it's an easy takes to me. And
let's see here, the Pistons will barely be.

Speaker 1 (34:57):
Not theston Oh I was going to say, because that
would have been a hot take if you had picked
the Pistons down three games to one to win that series, Now,
that would have been a hot take. But you're gonna
go with a lukewarm take and say the Knicks are
gonna win. Let me, let me, let me guess you.
You're also going to pick Golden State and Minnesota. Would
that be accurate?

Speaker 3 (35:17):
Minnesota is wrong?

Speaker 2 (35:19):
Whoa really?

Speaker 3 (35:23):
Well, not in the series, but in the game on
the game, just.

Speaker 1 (35:27):
Hear your own game by games. So you think the
Lakers will win and Houston will come back and win
their next game.

Speaker 3 (35:33):
Yah, and then the Warriors will be Warriors will beat
them at home?

Speaker 2 (35:37):
Gotcha? All right?

Speaker 1 (35:38):
Charlie I gotta go, buddy, but this I got commercials
and stuff. You know, I got business I gotta take
care of. You know how it is here. We got advertisers.
They want to hear their commercials. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (35:49):
All right, thank you, buddy.

Speaker 1 (35:50):
They great Charlie checking in from Dallas there, one of
the great kid callers.

Speaker 2 (35:53):
He's in the minor league system.

Speaker 9 (35:54):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (35:55):

a high upside time. Now four the Insta trivia, You're

Saints newest quarterback, Tyler Shuck is projected to be the
last person drafted from blank.

Speaker 2 (36:17):
Again.

Speaker 1 (36:18):

person drafted from blank.

Speaker 2 (36:23):
That's the Insta trivia. The answer next.

back to time. Now for the Insta Trivia and here
it is Insta Trivia Times. Saint Draft pick quarterback Tyler
Shuck is projected to be the last person drafted from blank.

(37:16):
That is the question. What is the answer, Williams says,
the pac two is the answer? Blind Scott's Plunger guest
by Scrooge, Police lineup from Late Night Drug Tester, Who else?
The prestigious Saddleback College from Miguel on Fire, Trump University
from King Rory Belichick's Chick guest by Ike, and Roseville

(37:36):
Minnesota Culinary School from Dante, New Zealand guests by Mark
and Mark and Santa Monica. Do you have an answer? Quickly?
The girl scouts, no, that is incorrect The correct answer.
Tyler Shuck projected to be the last player ever drafted
from the nineteen hundreds. Born in September Born in September

(37:59):
of nineteen nine. Wow, we're getting old.

Speaker 2 (38:02):
Here we go.

Speaker 1 (38:03):
It's smeller. How about that?

Speaker 4 (38:04):
To the third?

Speaker 1 (38:07):
No more players from the nice one hundred gets great?
We drafted.

Speaker 6 (38:12):
So despite recent trade rumors, the NFL Draft is coming
gone and Tyreek Hill is still a member of the Dolphins.
It's now being reported that the Dolphins are likely to
stick with Hill.

Speaker 2 (38:21):
Ben.

Speaker 6 (38:21):
Do you think Tyreek plays in Miami all season long?

Speaker 1 (38:23):
Well, this is a big mile. So you get through
the NFL Draft and it's it's less likely you're going
to be traded.

Speaker 8 (38:29):
Now.

Speaker 1 (38:30):
The chatter is he still wants more money. They just
gave him more money in Miami, so they're not going
to give him another contract. I'd say if we get
by mid June, it's less likely Now. I would say
I would bet on him staying with the Dolphins now,
but expect the rumors to pop up again next.

Speaker 6 (38:47):
Sam Laporta quickly turned into a start tight end under
then Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson. Now as the head
coach of the Bears. Johnson has drafted Titan Colston Loveland
with the tenth overall pick and said that he thinks
leveland can do the same things for Chicago that or
it did for Detroit. Yeh, Ben, do you think levelan
becomes an immediate start like Laporta?

Speaker 1 (39:04):
No, Laporte has been great. I mean, how often does
that happen? Loveland's got the size and all that. You
look at the measurables, but let's be realistic. It's a
different situation. And the Bears play outside and they have
a quarterback who's not exactly the toughest in the world.
Good luck next.

Speaker 6 (39:20):
I bet I'm not asking for a big board with
a bunch of letter grades urning here.

Speaker 1 (39:23):
I'm not giving you a big board. Good no big board.

Speaker 6 (39:26):
But do you think there's a team or two that
you consider won the draft?

Speaker 1 (39:31):
Well, the ones that stood out, and I'm always skeptical,
but I'll dual Carter for the Giants. I think he's
going to be great with the New York Giants. And
I thought the Patriots fixed some issues with the offensive line,
and so those are a couple that stand out. How
did we do kooble loop? You pass that is they win?
Put it on the board. What a chicken dinner
