Speaker 1 (00:00):
Ding Dong, It's our numb b two Hour two, the
Silver and Black Power Hour. Will the Raiders cave in
to wide receiver Jacoby Meyers trade request or are they
gonna write it out? Myers wants more money. The Raiders
said no, they want to trade him. The Raider said no.
Does this addition of wide receiver Amari Cooper? They added
(00:21):
him to the roster, actually moved the needle for our
Raiders and his quarterback Kenny Pickett's third trade now to
Las Vegas from Cleveland formerly play with the Steelers and
the Eagles in eighteen months. Three trades a sign that
he is a bust or just a victim of bad situations.
Chat about that and more. Also, Screamin' Steven makes an appearance.
(00:46):
You're gonna want to hear that here an hour number two.
Sometimes you win big and most of the time you don't.
Well come in the beginning of another hour of the
Ben Mathers Show. We are in the air everywhere as
we form a band, and we have the skin of
(01:08):
a rhino coast, the coast, border, the border and beyond.
On the mast and herculeanly powerful microphones of fs are
amminating live from the wash the eyewash of athletic chatter
from the world famous Fox Sports Radio Studios, as approved
(01:28):
by Mickey in State forty eight. And he knows, Mickey
that this portion of the show made possible by our
friends at tire Rack. For over forty years, ty Rak
has been helping customers like Scrooge and Robbie the Mariner
fan find the right tires for how, what and where
they drive ship fast end freeback by free road hazard
protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation, tire
(01:53):
raq dot com. The Way Tire Buying showb Eileen's going
out right now to buy some tires just because of
that commercial. She's going out to I'm gonna go buy
some tires. I don't need tires, but I'm gonna go
buy tires. And I thank you for that. Eileen. It's
pretty cool that you're just gonna do that because of
a commercial. And that's why they buy advertising. So I
lead this hour play the head small Man, Viva Las Vegas,
(02:17):
Viva Las Vegas. So the Raiders filling up the content
machine here at Fox Sports Radio, the transaction Wire. Get
out your score cars, Get out your score cars right now,
so a lot of moving parts. A lot of moving
parts here. Let's start with the disgruntled playmaker. Disgruntled playmaker.
If you have not heard, possibly not, possibly not, we
(02:41):
learned that wide receiver Jacoby and Myers also a law
firm in southern California. Jacoby Myers not happy. He has
requested a trade from Lost Wages Nevada. He wants out. Upset.
I guess he's upset with Slug. He's like, I can't
be here anymore. Lug and Mark and David, all the
(03:02):
guys there in Vegas. I just can't can't deal with it,
he says, because he could not agree to a contract extension.
So he's raising a hulla baloo, and the team says,
nah Na, we're good, We're good. We're going to keep you.
We're not trading. So it's a classic NFL standoff. Classic
(03:22):
and we have one of these every every season, at
least won every season. So let us discuss the question
on this one. Will lawraiders came in to Jacoby Myers
trade request or do they write it out? Just write
it out. He's under contract, you don't have to trade him.
So I've got Costco Rusty Nail and shadow boxing. Well
(03:48):
combined all these things together like legos, and the legos
the babushka steps on because you put them on. When
the Babushka tries to clean them up and she's walking
around at night, she steps on, which is one of
the worst pains a human being can have, stepping on
a lego. It's got to be in the five worst
pains a human being can have. So number why number right?
(04:11):
That's right. The writers are essentially running the world's saddest
flea market right now. They just are right open for business.
You got Tom Brady GM by proxy, but he doesn't
want any credit or blame because he's embarrassed by what
these moves. So the Raiders are open for business, and
they're essentially telling the neighbors listen, you can't have this lamp.
(04:36):
This is too valuable. And then the neighbors like, well,
I mean, you're running a flea market and you the
lamp is there, and I'm not selling the lamp like buddy,
it's it's a target lamp. It's not Tiffany's Okay, what
are you doing? Uh? The Myers is not a bump.
The guy's not a bum. Joan route E the guy's
(04:58):
a bump. The guy's not a bump. He's slightly above average.
Jacoby Myers is the costco version of a wide receiver
Number one. He just didn't you know what you get.
You're getting dependable. You're getting dependable. You're getting decent quality,
not flashy, not flashy. You're certainly not bragging to your buddies.
(05:23):
You're not bragging to your friends. Oh yeah, I bought
that Kirkland brand. Jacoby Myers. You're not excited about that,
You're not. I mean, you look at the numbers and
you're like, the numbers are fine. You know, fifty yards
a game, fifty and a half in his career. Last
year he was up to sixty eight and a half,
which is not bad, not bad. It's not terrible, it's
(05:44):
not not elite, it's not all time great. And to
answer the question, I expect him to be traded. I
my position is always the player who's unhappy is going
to be traded. And here's why this is the classic
we want volunteers not hostages. Got It's an old line
Mike Tomlin had back in the day. And if you're
(06:07):
not happy, if the dude wants out, if the dude's
gonna raise a problem. Fine, don't hold the player hostage.
It's not There's only certain players you hold hostage. He's
not one of those players, right, You ship them off
somewhere else, and that's it. Now where you ask, Well,
we can spin the malor wheel of speculation on where
(06:27):
Jacoby Myers will in a good, quick, quick finger push
there by the rent. So I've got Patriots, Vikings, and
Steelers as the most likely destinations for Jacoby Myers. The Patriots,
he already played there. Josh McDaniels is back as the
(06:47):
offensive coordinator, so there's a connection to the Patriots, and
he is considered to be a dependable player. The Patriots
don't have a dependable wide receiver. They've got slop at
wide receivers. Myers was fine when he played there, and
we assume that if he went back he would be fine.
They have Stefan Diggs who's coming off an injury, and
(07:08):
then they've got a bunch of other drek. They're literally
putting drek out there wide receiver, and I don't think
that's gonna go. Well. Now the Vikings, well, what the Vikings.
They're loaded, they got jail, they're loaded wide receiver. They go, oh,
this guy, well, Jordan Addison is suspended because he liked
to do things in his car involving alcohol and whatnot. So, uh,
(07:29):
he's suspended to start the year, and Myers slots in
as a at least a temporary number two as a
slot wide receiver there as a babysitter until Jordan Addison's
suspension is over, because remember, he's gonna he's gonna miss
the first three games, Addison. And then you've also got
the will he be ready to play in the fourth game?
(07:52):
Is there gonna be a setback? Do you miss time,
you're more likely to get injured. The Steelers, I look
at those wide receivers and I know they got the
got dk Metcalf. Okay, that's good. The rest of those,
Jimoke's not so much. And Mike Tomlin this seems like
a Mike Tomlin guy. Ja Kobe Myers. Right. Also throw
(08:15):
like Niners in there if you want the Niners. Uh,
they've got wide receivers who think they're better than they are,
and they've got guys that are hurt, so they've got
a hodgepodge there. Uh, you know, and here's the other thing, right.
You look around and you're like, all those teams, what's
the price tag? Well, the price tag. If the Raiders
were offered a fifth round draft pick, that's about what
(08:38):
he's worth. Now, if somebody gets all excited, I want
to I want this guy. I'll give you more than that. Okay, fine,
but a fifth round pick. It's like if you're if
you're the Steelers of the Vikings or the Patriots, you
trade a fifth round pick. A fifth is like giving
away a Chili's gift card. You know, like it, but
(09:00):
you're not gonna miss it. You know. It's like, if
I have it, it's great, But I guess somebody else
can go to Chile's and enjoy the gift card. I
don't need it. It's that kind of thing. Now, if
the Raiders somehow get a fourth round pick, they should
go out to Fremont Street, right near the iHeart studios
there and dance and have a great time. Right. That's
Ocean's eleven type high stuff if they get that. But
(09:21):
at the bottom line, Jacoby Myers is useful, he's above
average slightly, he's reliable. He's just not elite not he's
not happy. He's not happy and the stories are connected
because page two here mention it's a Raider heavy hour.
We'll get back to the calls in a little bit,
but the Raider heavy hour here while Jacoby Myers is
(09:41):
having a conniption fit and would like to be traded,
he wants out, says, I would like to go somewhere else,
one way ticket out of Sin City. Well, we had
a reunion. The Raiders brought back a blast in the past.
Ten years ago. The Raiders first round of the draft
picked Amari Cooper and Mary Cooper was really good at
(10:02):
dropping passes with the old Oakland Raiders. Man was he elite.
He was an elite pass dropper with the Raiders. And
he's back. Maybe he's back, but now the Las Vegas Raiders.
Cooper thirty one, he played for the Brownies and the
Bills last season, was one of the big pickups before
the trade de aligned by the Buffalo football team. Was
(10:22):
considered the top available veteran pass catcher on the street
at this point. So Pete Carroll is selling and the
Raiders are selling that this is a veteran presence that
he's been around the block. He just knows how to
get the job done. Maybe there's a little leadership in there.
The Raiders have a young wide receiver room and he
(10:44):
will be someone that can go in there and fill
in one of the question marks on the Jeopardy board.
And that's that. So question to you, does this edition
of wide receiver Amari Cooper actually move the needle for
the Raiders. So the way I look at this, this
(11:05):
is not a needle move. There is no movement of
the needle. It is a rusty nail is what it is,
jammed into the side of a sigate ship. Okay, do
you understand? Listen, the Raider Wide Receiver room is a
disaster with a capital of the What is Tom Brady
smoking over there? Is he's on the drinking the ayahuasca.
(11:27):
What do we got going on over there? That is
a FEMA zone. The Raider wide receiver room. Now you
have somebody named Dante Thornton who's unprocessed, and Trey Tucker
and they are projected to be starters for the Raiders.
You also have Jacoby Myers who wants out asap, and
those are the top three wide receivers at this point.
They're hoping that Amari Cooper can come in there and
(11:51):
stabilize things. Unfortunately, if you watch the NFL, or even
if you're blind and listen to the NFL on radio
last year, you know, shoh that a Marii Cooper looked
and sounded sounded like a player that was running in molasses.
At the end of last year, he was the big
(12:11):
pick up by the Buffalo football team to put them
over the top. How did that work out? Yeah, he
showed showed a Mark Cooper that he had these separation
skills of a refrigerator magnet when he played for the
Buffalo Bills there and it looked like he was in
a Lake effect blizzard the entire time. He was a decoy.
(12:31):
They didn't trade for him to be a decoy. But
that's what a mari Cooper was with the Buffalo Bills.
And so you know what this is. This is the
the Raiders walking in to the emergency room and saying,
you know, doctor, doctor, give me the news. And the
doctor says, well, I'm sorry to tell you you've got a
broken femur. And the Raiders say, well, that's I just
(12:53):
don't have time for a broken feamer. Can you just
put a band aid on it and we're good to go.
That's just the way to do it. It's a pain.
Like Pete Carroll is out here trying to I guess
he's trying to recreate the Legion of Boom. I know
the Legion of Boom was defense here. But it's like
the ghost of Christmas past, the ghosts of Raider passed
and all that stuff. The Raiders are admitting though this
(13:13):
is a confessional by the Raiders. The Raiders are admitting
that the wide receiver room sucks rocks. They're admitting that,
and so instead of building a new foundation and all
that stuff, they're trying to duct tape the lava lamp
to the wall, and they're calling you a schandelier. They said, well,
it's a chandler. No, no, it's not. It's a lava lamp.
(13:35):
That our friend Andrea, the insider, the astrology and side,
she put up a lava lamp and then it fell down.
Then you picked it up and you taped to the wall.
You said, it's a chandelier, it's a lava lamp. Bad
job are you? But you look there and the Raiders
have brock Bowers, who's going for the Raiders to make
the playoffs. Brock Bowers are going to catch by my
math malor math two hundred passes for the Raiders to
(13:58):
find a way to make the playoffs. They are the
definition of av all Ridge. That's an average football team.
That's a that's a six seven to eight win, nine
win team somewhere in there. That's it. Faux contender at most,
fau contender for the Raiders in a division that is
stacked with the Chiefs, the Chargers, and supposedly the Broncos.
(14:19):
On the on the come all right final point, the
Raiders also made another oh my god, it's all Raiders.
The Raiders addressed the backup quarterback position. You might remember
any previous episode of the show, there was speculations for
the Raiders were interested in Ryan Tannehill. Well, they woke
up and realized he blows. So let's go out and
get a younger quarterback who just sucks. And so that's
(14:42):
what the Raiders did. Vegas acquired Kenny Picket, Yes that no,
you know who that is Kenny Pickett from the Browns
in exchange for a fifth round pick. So question, is
Kenny Pickett's third trade now of the Raiders in eighteen
(15:04):
months a sign that he is a bust or is
he just a victim of bad situations? Just bad situations.
So for the kool aid drinkers, they'll say Kenny Pickett
just wasn't given the proper runway to take off that
if you look at his career, he's started twenty five games,
(15:24):
he's five games above five hundred. Kenny pick is fifteen
and ten as a starter. However, any kind of due
diligence on the career of Kenny pick any kind of
objective analyzing what's going on here, the arrow is pointing
to bust with a capital B, bust with a cavalry.
(15:46):
He was the quarterback of the future. The Steelers, with
Mike Tomlin, drafted this guy in the first round, and
Mike Tomlin had him for a couple of seasons and
it's like, this guy's not that good. This the whole
they had, the whole back story. Ride guy went to
college at pitt goes over to the Steelers, the whole thing,
and a couple of seasons in after being picked in
(16:06):
the first round, Pittsburgh brought in Russell Wilson to compete
with Kenny Pickett. And what did Kenny Pickett do when
they brought Russell Wilson in to compete. He had the
ultimate hissy fit. I'm not doing it. I am Kenny Peggott.
Scraw you out. I want out. He gave up, he
(16:30):
gave up. He ran from the grind. He just run.
He run the other he ran the other direction from
the grind. And that's the thing you can't do, and
he did it. The guy's a quitter. Kenny Pickett's a quitter.
Rather than compete, you're telling me you can't beat out
a rushed up, a rushed up and washed up Russell Wilson.
(16:51):
You can't beat out Russell Wilson. If you're Kenny Pickett,
come on. And rather than try, he says, I want out.
I want to trade. So Pitsburgh traded into Philadelphia and
he had all stop over. There was never going to play.
That was quarterback rehab in Philadelphia. And I think he
was traded for like a third round pick or something
like that. So I think they got something of value
(17:13):
for Kenny Pickett, they being the Philadelphia football team. But
that quitting on the Steelers is something that has shadowboxed
Kenny Pickett. And now he went to Cleveland. That's even
more emasculating than what happened in Pittsburgh. He just ran
away from the steeers, says, I don't want to compete
with mister unlimited. Mister unlimited. He goes to Cleveland and
(17:35):
he could not would not beat out a forty year
old Joe Flacco and a couple of neophyte rookie quarterbacks,
including a fifth round flyer that Pickett in a supposed
open competition, a meritocracy where Joe Flacco ended up winning.
(17:57):
He lost out, and he was so bad that they
don't even think he's a good backup in Cleveland, like,
we gotta trade him, get rid of him. He can't
even be in a backup that's a quarterback devoid franchise.
It is a Bermuda triangle where quarterbacks go to die,
and they're looking for anyone that's got a pulse, and
they got rid of Kenny Pickett. They got rid of him.
(18:21):
So will Kenny Pickett ever get a shot to start
in Las Vegas or is he destined to be a
career backup? Well, the Raiders Aidan O'Connell is hurt, he's
going to come back at some point. So there's no
guarantee that Pickett even makes the roster the whole year
with the Raiders, and Gino Smith is best. He's with
(18:43):
Pete Carroll, and that's a Pete Carroll picked Gith. Tom
Brady wanted a good quarterback. The Raiders couldn't get a
good quarterback. They wanted Matthew Stafford. They tried to get
some other players, and all the good players ran away
from the Raiders, So the Raiders then were forced to
get some slop. And Pete Carroll says, that's the slop.
I like, that's the crap out of Seattle. I want
that Gino Smith. Sure, we'll get you, Gino Smith. Why not?
(19:04):
So Gino goes to the Raiders. He's a fraud as
a number one quarterback, we all know that. But if
he stays healthy, then he's going to play the entire year,
and Kenny Pickett will get hemorrhoids sitting on the bench.
And despite that glittering record which we mentioned, five games
over five hundred as a backup Kenny Pickett because he
played on good defensive teams in Pittsburgh and they didn't
(19:28):
really play much at all in Philadelphia. But in his
career thirty games, twenty five starts, Kenny Pickett has the
grand total of fifteen touchdowns and fourteen interceptions. Is that good?
Because if that's good, I wish I had you as
a teacher. It is the Ben Maler Show, as we

back to it. We also have Malardly thirtygree coming up
(22:12):
a little bit later in the hour, so we have
that to look forward to as well. And Perito says, Benny,
what Raider fan pissed in your corn flakes? He says?
Or is it just because Blank's LA's third team, the
Lames or LA's third team? Uh big? What did I
say that was wrong? Purito? I don't know what did
(22:33):
I say anything that was wrong? I don't know. Did
I These guys get so upset, so offended? What did
I say that was wrong? You got Jakobe Myers, who's average,
who doesn't want to be there, so trade him. You
brought in a guy who was available. The season begins
in less than like a little over a week. Today
is Tuesday. Next Thursday, the NFL season begins. Nobody signed
(22:56):
to Marik Cooper. Do you think that's because he's really
really good and everyone couldn't afford him, or he signed
a one year deal because nobody wanted him and the
Raiders were the only team that offered him a contract.
What do you think is more likely? And Kenny Pickett
blows everyone knows that in Pittsburgh. Everyone knows that in
Philadelphia and in Cleveland, and soon the Raiders will learn.
(23:17):
So rather than be upset with the messenger, you should say, hey,
wait a minute, Wait a minute, the problem is with
the Raiders. Scrooge says, a bad flea market is an understatement. Ben,
You'd find more value from a landfill than the Raiders roster,
aside from Max Crosby and Rock Power. Now, double Old
(23:42):
Mexican is a level headed unlike Perrito, who's drinking that
black in the Silver and blackcool aid. Double Old Mexicans
like eight point one on the mall of monologue. I
got Meyers going to the Patriots for a fourth round
pick would be a fifth but Josh mcdummy will break
out the pom poms for Jobe Myers. You can see
that no stradinas in Seattle Rights and he says, got
(24:04):
to say, Pete Carroll is pulling all the rabbits out
of his football hat in loading up on the kind
of players that get to get him five to six wins.
It is fascinating Thoster Denis. It is impressive to see
them do. It was good to see Nostre Deinas, but
I hadn't seen him in a number of years. And
he and his wife lovely wife there, lovely wife except vegan,
(24:26):
so she's not perfect. Yeah, chicken strips on the you
know she's on the dark side, but you know it happens.
Some of us make those decisions. Who else do we
have to see? Mark the full name guy keeps sending
me comments about the Cleveland Spiders. Is there anything less
relevant than comments about the Cleveland Spiders? On sports radio
in twenty twenty five, I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go, No,
(24:50):
the eighteen ninety nine Cleveland Spiders. I think I'm good.
Let's go to phones. We have a first time caller.
Matt is in Boulder Creek in Calli and he's up next. Hello, Matt, Welcome,
is Matt alive? Mac going one welcome. I'm so excited.
I saw a new caller there we went to and
(25:13):
he's about to break my heart. He's not he's not
going to answer the phone. I think he's not there, Ben.
I don't hear him snoring though. If he's not listening
to the phone, he blew me off. Okay, and he's
and he's gonna hear himself. And they'll call back and say, oh,
I was understand it was his phone thing. All right,
we'll think. Well, that'll be a preview of tomorrow's newbie
(25:36):
Night on the show, which will be all new callers
for the entire night. Tomorrow night, let's go to a
Lucky Tony in the Bay Area. Hello Lucky Tony. Oh Tony,
all I say, oh my god, he's gonna be one
of those nights. He'll be one of those freaking nights.
Am I allowed to complain about the quality of phone
(25:57):
calls or no? No, it's not the I Tony's calls are good.
The issue is that either he's in a bad cell
spot or our phone system is kapluey. Try to getting
Lucky Tony. Hello, Lucky Tony. Doc ah, all right, I'm
hanging up on everybody everyone who's I'm gonna hang up
(26:20):
on you. We tried, and I'm gonna hang up on you,
and you and you over there on line three, I'm
hanging up on you. So there's I've cleared the board.
I have now cleared the board. Every line is open
eight seven seven ninety nine on grieving eight seven seven?
Can I get a good call there? Eight seven seven?
(26:42):
Can I anybody? All right? So the Hill of Bills?
The Hill of Bills? We have a follow up, follow
up to a story we talked about in the previous
edition of this show. Tyreek Hill somehow still a member
of the Miami Dolphins. Well, he had a tough week.
The news came out this week. Tyreek Hill got some problems,
(27:06):
all right. Remember he got he got married. There was
a very passionate turbulent would be a good word. Marriage.
Seventeen months of marriage. Seventeen months of marriage for Tyreek Hill,
the Dolphin starro wide receiver. Now he earns around thirty
million dollars a year, give or take. What do you
(27:27):
believe his financial obligation is for the marriage? It was
I guess it was actually fifteen months of marriage and
he did not get a prenup. Don't believe, well, I don't.
The Daily Mail, which is a great tabloid in London.
I love it. It's really good, solid tabloid. And so
(27:48):
they've been following the divorce proceedings with this Keita Vakaro
I believe is her name, I don't know. And well,
it turns out he will be paying. There's a one
time check that he's got to write. There's a one
off check which see, I'm not gonna play the game
because you're gonna ruin the game. I know you're gonna
(28:08):
ruin the game. You're both gonna ruin the game. You're
gonna ruin the game. You're gonna ruin the game. You're
gonna ruin the game. It's the old, the old thing
with with Eddie. When he used to work here, he'd
ruin the game. And I know you're gonna ruin the game.
So I'm not going to ask you. I'm just gonna
say that. Tyreek Hill, according to the tabloids, in his
divorce fifteen month marriage to this young lady, is going
(28:29):
to have to write a one time check for five
hundred thousand dollars, but on a monthly basis, he will
be paying his strange wife anywhere between twenty and fifty
thousand dollars per month in quote, spending money. I wouldn't
(28:51):
even know that much. I wouldn't even know how to
spend fifty grand a month or twenty grand? How do
you do that? I mean, I guess if you gave
me the money, I'd find a way to do it.
But I'm sure she's gonna have a very nice house
and a very nice car and a bunch of birkins. Yeah,
she's maybe a new butt. She's also getting money towards
her legal fees. One hundred thousand dollars to spend on
(29:11):
a new car, Well, that's about the going rate for
a car one hundred grand these days. That's ridiculous. And uh,
he's exclusive use of their formal, their former marital home,
five point five million dollar waterfront condo in Miami, and
Hill's got to pay the mortgage on that, insurance and
(29:31):
utilities and internet. Wow, So it's five hundred thousand. But
then that's another five hundred thousand because the house, well,
the house is more than that house five point five million. Wow,
that's a lot of dough then alive. All right, let's
go to the phones. We've reset the calls, screaming Stephen

those people are zombies.
Speaker 4 (31:10):
No, I wasn't even invented. Why I was sober for
seventeen years. I never even did ecstasy.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
That most popular. When I was in high school, people
were doing that.
Speaker 4 (31:20):
Man, but I lived in North Dakota.

What?
Speaker 4 (31:39):
The lego thing? The worst thing to step on is
a Tinker toy. You're my age, you remember Tinker.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
I do remember Tinker toys. But I would argue a
small lego piece where you hit the corner is the
worst pain possible.
Speaker 4 (31:53):
But the wheel with the wood will stick it up
on the steps.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
Yeah. Yeah, I think you're dating. You're dating me, and
you're dating yourself with to take your toy reference. I'm

bring up, but I'm trying to stay relevant.
Speaker 4 (32:10):
Hey, can I do a memorial to my celebration of
my life for my mother? One quick statement. She's eighty
nine years old. She just passed away the other day.
Speaker 1 (32:22):

for seventeen years. Impressive. I like that guy. I hope
that guy calls me. He's a kid. He's good. We
need more of that. I like him. That's a good
overnight talk radio call. That's a solid late night talk
(33:30):
radio call. Let's go to Dave in Houston. What's going on? Dave? Welcome?
Speaker 5 (33:35):
Man.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Oh he's another one. He's another legend formerly known as
transgender back to back, belly to belly legends.
Speaker 5 (33:42):
Man. I heard a couple of weeks ago that you
have actually sired a United States Marine, and I have
this feeling that I can't hate you anymore.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
Oh okay, well you can still hate me.
Speaker 5 (33:57):
It's I'm over that feeling now.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
Good good good. Don't you can still you can still
be upset with me and this guy, mister irrigation chiefs
he keep. He continues to try to set up a
Malard meet and greet in Houston, which would be very interesting,
very interesting considering the past that I have, as you
know Dave with the Astros. That would be interesting.
Speaker 5 (34:21):
The finest franchise in baseball.
Speaker 4 (34:28):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (34:28):
You know, we pretend to hate each other, but Man
and I actually have been best friends for the last
thirty years.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
You guys are besties. Oh yeah, we go way back.
Me and Dave.
Speaker 5 (34:39):
We used to go out cruising for chicks.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
We were a couple of ballers picking up ladies with.
Speaker 5 (34:46):
Our good friend Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
I don't know that I'm going to go there, but yeah,
I was never rich enough to know him. So where
the white women at? And unfortunately I never had any
power to really know. I mean, have you had power
or you had money to know them? Right? I didn't
have power or money.
Speaker 5 (35:02):
Now, just one complaint. I fly out the Los Angeles
every week to proclaim my love and adoration to Lorena,
and she always says the same thing.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
Security, that's your nickname? Security? Your nickname in the building?
Were you the guys sleeping in the parking garage the
other week?
Speaker 5 (35:21):
You know, you had to mention that.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
After time. You're not proud of that, Dave, You're not
proud of that, right O.
Speaker 5 (35:30):
This in that last call, it was like an actor's
school special with the crack.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
And the speed and Tinker toys. You got tinker toys
in there too, Oh yeah, tinker toys. Yeah? All right, Well,
thank you, Dave. All right, I'm hang up on you.

nine targets, making him the only NFL receiver since two
thousand with ninety five plus targets in a season and
zero drops. That's the answer, Tribute, the answer, and Mallard

Speaker 2 (38:55):
To the third degree? This is one big then gets quilled.
Speaker 6 (39:03):
TMZ caught up with former USC running back Lendale White
over the weekend. He was the thunder to the Lightning
and thunder duo there.
Speaker 1 (39:10):
Oh okay, I remember he was a fat one?
Speaker 6 (39:11):
Yes exactly yeah where Lendale White said that he thinks
that USC will make the college football playoff for the
first time and that he has faith in Lincoln Riley.
Ben does Riley need a College Football Playoff appearance to
keep his job.
Speaker 1 (39:25):
Well, there's a lot of money tied up. I'm one
of my a couple of people I know over there
that are boosters at USC and they thought that was there.
They had won the lottery when they got Lincoln Riley,
and he suck. The problem Wan Riley has Coop is
his teams are soft and they play in the Big Ten.
You're gonna play cold weather games late in the season,
and they're just not built for that. They're soft West
(39:46):
Coast teams. And that's on Lincoln Riley. That's on his
coaching set. I don't see a way that they win,
you know, at the end, and I think he'll be
around for at least another year next.
Speaker 6 (39:56):
Texas wide receiver Nico Collins raved about having CJ. Stratage
as his quarterback, saying that their connection is like bread
and butter. Oh nice, and that they plan on shocking
the world. I like MC and cheese more.
Speaker 1 (40:08):
Ben.
Speaker 6 (40:08):
The Texans have kind of flown under the radar this offseason.
What's their ceiling?
Speaker 1 (40:12):
Yeah, So their ceiling is there'll be a good regular
season and they play in a division nobody cares about
that's why you fly under the radar. The AFC South
is terrible. You've got the Texans, who are the top team, Jacksonville, Indianapolis,
the Titans. It's a terrible division. They'll win, they'll make
the playoffs. They'll be the first playoff game on Saturday
because nobody wants to watch them play.
Speaker 6 (40:30):
Next Major League Baseball announcement will be returning to the
Field of Dreams in Iowa for a game in the
twenty twenty six regular season. Then, what are some other
special locations you think would be good for a game.
Speaker 1 (40:39):
Out in the Pacific. There's this this trash circle of trash.
Why don't they build a stadium in the middle of
the Pacific on that trash island out there? And wouldn't
that be cool? Then clean it up? Why not? What
do you say? Coo bad? We do? I like it?
You pass there is that's a one trash island, baby,
Ding Dong, It's our numb b two Hour two, the
Silver and Black Power Hour. Will the Raiders cave in
to wide receiver Jacoby Meyers trade request or are they
gonna write it out? Myers wants more money. The Raiders
said no, they want to trade him. The Raider said no.
Does this addition of wide receiver Amari Cooper? They added
(00:21):
him to the roster, actually moved the needle for our
Raiders and his quarterback Kenny Pickett's third trade now to
Las Vegas from Cleveland formerly play with the Steelers and
the Eagles in eighteen months. Three trades a sign that
he is a bust or just a victim of bad situations.
Chat about that and more. Also, Screamin' Steven makes an appearance.
(00:46):
You're gonna want to hear that here an hour number two.
Sometimes you win big and most of the time you don't.
Well come in the beginning of another hour of the
Ben Mathers Show. We are in the air everywhere as
we form a band, and we have the skin of
(01:08):
a rhino coast, the coast, border, the border and beyond.
On the mast and herculeanly powerful microphones of fs are
amminating live from the wash the eyewash of athletic chatter
from the world famous Fox Sports Radio Studios, as approved
(01:28):
by Mickey in State forty eight. And he knows, Mickey
that this portion of the show made possible by our
friends at tire Rack. For over forty years, ty Rak
has been helping customers like Scrooge and Robbie the Mariner
fan find the right tires for how, what and where
they drive ship fast end freeback by free road hazard
protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation, tire
(01:53):
raq dot com. The Way Tire Buying showb Eileen's going
out right now to buy some tires just because of
that commercial. She's going out to I'm gonna go buy
some tires. I don't need tires, but I'm gonna go
buy tires. And I thank you for that. Eileen. It's
pretty cool that you're just gonna do that because of
a commercial. And that's why they buy advertising. So I
lead this hour play the head small Man, Viva Las Vegas,
(02:17):
Viva Las Vegas. So the Raiders filling up the content
machine here at Fox Sports Radio, the transaction Wire. Get
out your score cars, Get out your score cars right now,
so a lot of moving parts. A lot of moving
parts here. Let's start with the disgruntled playmaker. Disgruntled playmaker.
If you have not heard, possibly not, possibly not, we
(02:41):
learned that wide receiver Jacoby and Myers also a law
firm in southern California. Jacoby Myers not happy. He has
requested a trade from Lost Wages Nevada. He wants out. Upset.
I guess he's upset with Slug. He's like, I can't
be here anymore. Lug and Mark and David, all the
(03:02):
guys there in Vegas. I just can't can't deal with it,
he says, because he could not agree to a contract extension.
So he's raising a hulla baloo, and the team says,
nah Na, we're good, We're good. We're going to keep you.
We're not trading. So it's a classic NFL standoff. Classic
(03:22):
and we have one of these every every season, at
least won every season. So let us discuss the question
on this one. Will lawraiders came in to Jacoby Myers
trade request or do they write it out? Just write
it out. He's under contract, you don't have to trade him.
So I've got Costco Rusty Nail and shadow boxing. Well
(03:48):
combined all these things together like legos, and the legos
the babushka steps on because you put them on. When
the Babushka tries to clean them up and she's walking
around at night, she steps on, which is one of
the worst pains a human being can have, stepping on
a lego. It's got to be in the five worst
pains a human being can have. So number why number right?
(04:11):
That's right. The writers are essentially running the world's saddest
flea market right now. They just are right open for business.
You got Tom Brady GM by proxy, but he doesn't
want any credit or blame because he's embarrassed by what
these moves. So the Raiders are open for business, and
they're essentially telling the neighbors listen, you can't have this lamp.
(04:36):
This is too valuable. And then the neighbors like, well,
I mean, you're running a flea market and you the
lamp is there, and I'm not selling the lamp like buddy,
it's it's a target lamp. It's not Tiffany's Okay, what
are you doing? Uh? The Myers is not a bump.
The guy's not a bum. Joan route E the guy's
(04:58):
a bump. The guy's not a bump. He's slightly above average.
Jacoby Myers is the costco version of a wide receiver
Number one. He just didn't you know what you get.
You're getting dependable. You're getting dependable. You're getting decent quality,
not flashy, not flashy. You're certainly not bragging to your buddies.
(05:23):
You're not bragging to your friends. Oh yeah, I bought
that Kirkland brand. Jacoby Myers. You're not excited about that,
You're not. I mean, you look at the numbers and
you're like, the numbers are fine. You know, fifty yards
a game, fifty and a half in his career. Last
year he was up to sixty eight and a half,
which is not bad, not bad. It's not terrible, it's
(05:44):
not not elite, it's not all time great. And to
answer the question, I expect him to be traded. I
my position is always the player who's unhappy is going
to be traded. And here's why this is the classic
we want volunteers not hostages. Got It's an old line
Mike Tomlin had back in the day. And if you're
(06:07):
not happy, if the dude wants out, if the dude's
gonna raise a problem. Fine, don't hold the player hostage.
It's not There's only certain players you hold hostage. He's
not one of those players, right, You ship them off
somewhere else, and that's it. Now where you ask, Well,
we can spin the malor wheel of speculation on where
(06:27):
Jacoby Myers will in a good, quick, quick finger push
there by the rent. So I've got Patriots, Vikings, and
Steelers as the most likely destinations for Jacoby Myers. The Patriots,
he already played there. Josh McDaniels is back as the
(06:47):
offensive coordinator, so there's a connection to the Patriots, and
he is considered to be a dependable player. The Patriots
don't have a dependable wide receiver. They've got slop at
wide receivers. Myers was fine when he played there, and
we assume that if he went back he would be fine.
They have Stefan Diggs who's coming off an injury, and
(07:08):
then they've got a bunch of other drek. They're literally
putting drek out there wide receiver, and I don't think
that's gonna go. Well. Now the Vikings, well, what the Vikings.
They're loaded, they got jail, they're loaded wide receiver. They go, oh,
this guy, well, Jordan Addison is suspended because he liked
to do things in his car involving alcohol and whatnot. So, uh,
(07:29):
he's suspended to start the year, and Myers slots in
as a at least a temporary number two as a
slot wide receiver there as a babysitter until Jordan Addison's
suspension is over, because remember, he's gonna he's gonna miss
the first three games, Addison. And then you've also got
the will he be ready to play in the fourth game?
(07:52):
Is there gonna be a setback? Do you miss time,
you're more likely to get injured. The Steelers, I look
at those wide receivers and I know they got the
got dk Metcalf. Okay, that's good. The rest of those,
Jimoke's not so much. And Mike Tomlin this seems like
a Mike Tomlin guy. Ja Kobe Myers. Right. Also throw
(08:15):
like Niners in there if you want the Niners. Uh,
they've got wide receivers who think they're better than they are,
and they've got guys that are hurt, so they've got
a hodgepodge there. Uh, you know, and here's the other thing, right.
You look around and you're like, all those teams, what's
the price tag? Well, the price tag. If the Raiders
were offered a fifth round draft pick, that's about what
(08:38):
he's worth. Now, if somebody gets all excited, I want
to I want this guy. I'll give you more than that. Okay, fine,
but a fifth round pick. It's like if you're if
you're the Steelers of the Vikings or the Patriots, you
trade a fifth round pick. A fifth is like giving
away a Chili's gift card. You know, like it, but
(09:00):
you're not gonna miss it. You know. It's like, if
I have it, it's great, But I guess somebody else
can go to Chile's and enjoy the gift card. I
don't need it. It's that kind of thing. Now, if
the Raiders somehow get a fourth round pick, they should
go out to Fremont Street, right near the iHeart studios
there and dance and have a great time. Right. That's
Ocean's eleven type high stuff if they get that. But
(09:21):
at the bottom line, Jacoby Myers is useful, he's above
average slightly, he's reliable. He's just not elite not he's
not happy. He's not happy and the stories are connected
because page two here mention it's a Raider heavy hour.
We'll get back to the calls in a little bit,
but the Raider heavy hour here while Jacoby Myers is
(09:41):
having a conniption fit and would like to be traded,
he wants out, says, I would like to go somewhere else,
one way ticket out of Sin City. Well, we had
a reunion. The Raiders brought back a blast in the past.
Ten years ago. The Raiders first round of the draft
picked Amari Cooper and Mary Cooper was really good at
(10:02):
dropping passes with the old Oakland Raiders. Man was he elite.
He was an elite pass dropper with the Raiders. And
he's back. Maybe he's back, but now the Las Vegas Raiders.
Cooper thirty one, he played for the Brownies and the
Bills last season, was one of the big pickups before
the trade de aligned by the Buffalo football team. Was
(10:22):
considered the top available veteran pass catcher on the street
at this point. So Pete Carroll is selling and the
Raiders are selling that this is a veteran presence that
he's been around the block. He just knows how to
get the job done. Maybe there's a little leadership in there.
The Raiders have a young wide receiver room and he
(10:44):
will be someone that can go in there and fill
in one of the question marks on the Jeopardy board.
And that's that. So question to you, does this edition
of wide receiver Amari Cooper actually move the needle for
the Raiders. So the way I look at this, this
(11:05):
is not a needle move. There is no movement of
the needle. It is a rusty nail is what it is,
jammed into the side of a sigate ship. Okay, do
you understand? Listen, the Raider Wide Receiver room is a
disaster with a capital of the What is Tom Brady
smoking over there? Is he's on the drinking the ayahuasca.
(11:27):
What do we got going on over there? That is
a FEMA zone. The Raider wide receiver room. Now you
have somebody named Dante Thornton who's unprocessed, and Trey Tucker
and they are projected to be starters for the Raiders.
You also have Jacoby Myers who wants out asap, and
those are the top three wide receivers at this point.
They're hoping that Amari Cooper can come in there and
(11:51):
stabilize things. Unfortunately, if you watch the NFL, or even
if you're blind and listen to the NFL on radio
last year, you know, shoh that a Marii Cooper looked
and sounded sounded like a player that was running in molasses.
At the end of last year, he was the big
(12:11):
pick up by the Buffalo football team to put them
over the top. How did that work out? Yeah, he
showed showed a Mark Cooper that he had these separation
skills of a refrigerator magnet when he played for the
Buffalo Bills there and it looked like he was in
a Lake effect blizzard the entire time. He was a decoy.
(12:31):
They didn't trade for him to be a decoy. But
that's what a mari Cooper was with the Buffalo Bills.
And so you know what this is. This is the
the Raiders walking in to the emergency room and saying,
you know, doctor, doctor, give me the news. And the
doctor says, well, I'm sorry to tell you you've got a
broken femur. And the Raiders say, well, that's I just
(12:53):
don't have time for a broken feamer. Can you just
put a band aid on it and we're good to go.
That's just the way to do it. It's a pain.
Like Pete Carroll is out here trying to I guess
he's trying to recreate the Legion of Boom. I know
the Legion of Boom was defense here. But it's like
the ghost of Christmas past, the ghosts of Raider passed
and all that stuff. The Raiders are admitting though this
(13:13):
is a confessional by the Raiders. The Raiders are admitting
that the wide receiver room sucks rocks. They're admitting that,
and so instead of building a new foundation and all
that stuff, they're trying to duct tape the lava lamp
to the wall, and they're calling you a schandelier. They said, well,
it's a chandler. No, no, it's not. It's a lava lamp.
(13:35):
That our friend Andrea, the insider, the astrology and side,
she put up a lava lamp and then it fell down.
Then you picked it up and you taped to the wall.
You said, it's a chandelier, it's a lava lamp. Bad
job are you? But you look there and the Raiders
have brock Bowers, who's going for the Raiders to make
the playoffs. Brock Bowers are going to catch by my
math malor math two hundred passes for the Raiders to
(13:58):
find a way to make the playoffs. They are the
definition of av all Ridge. That's an average football team.
That's a that's a six seven to eight win, nine
win team somewhere in there. That's it. Faux contender at most,
fau contender for the Raiders in a division that is
stacked with the Chiefs, the Chargers, and supposedly the Broncos.
(14:19):
On the on the come all right final point, the
Raiders also made another oh my god, it's all Raiders.
The Raiders addressed the backup quarterback position. You might remember
any previous episode of the show, there was speculations for
the Raiders were interested in Ryan Tannehill. Well, they woke
up and realized he blows. So let's go out and
get a younger quarterback who just sucks. And so that's
(14:42):
what the Raiders did. Vegas acquired Kenny Picket, Yes that no,
you know who that is Kenny Pickett from the Browns
in exchange for a fifth round pick. So question, is
Kenny Pickett's third trade now of the Raiders in eighteen
(15:04):
months a sign that he is a bust or is
he just a victim of bad situations? Just bad situations.
So for the kool aid drinkers, they'll say Kenny Pickett
just wasn't given the proper runway to take off that
if you look at his career, he's started twenty five games,
(15:24):
he's five games above five hundred. Kenny pick is fifteen
and ten as a starter. However, any kind of due
diligence on the career of Kenny pick any kind of
objective analyzing what's going on here, the arrow is pointing
to bust with a capital B, bust with a cavalry.
(15:46):
He was the quarterback of the future. The Steelers, with
Mike Tomlin, drafted this guy in the first round, and
Mike Tomlin had him for a couple of seasons and
it's like, this guy's not that good. This the whole
they had, the whole back story. Ride guy went to
college at pitt goes over to the Steelers, the whole thing,
and a couple of seasons in after being picked in
(16:06):
the first round, Pittsburgh brought in Russell Wilson to compete
with Kenny Pickett. And what did Kenny Pickett do when
they brought Russell Wilson in to compete. He had the
ultimate hissy fit. I'm not doing it. I am Kenny Peggott.
Scraw you out. I want out. He gave up, he
(16:30):
gave up. He ran from the grind. He just run.
He run the other he ran the other direction from
the grind. And that's the thing you can't do, and
he did it. The guy's a quitter. Kenny Pickett's a quitter.
Rather than compete, you're telling me you can't beat out
a rushed up, a rushed up and washed up Russell Wilson.
(16:51):
You can't beat out Russell Wilson. If you're Kenny Pickett,
come on. And rather than try, he says, I want out.
I want to trade. So Pitsburgh traded into Philadelphia and
he had all stop over. There was never going to play.
That was quarterback rehab in Philadelphia. And I think he
was traded for like a third round pick or something
like that. So I think they got something of value
(17:13):
for Kenny Pickett, they being the Philadelphia football team. But
that quitting on the Steelers is something that has shadowboxed
Kenny Pickett. And now he went to Cleveland. That's even
more emasculating than what happened in Pittsburgh. He just ran
away from the steeers, says, I don't want to compete
with mister unlimited. Mister unlimited. He goes to Cleveland and
(17:35):
he could not would not beat out a forty year
old Joe Flacco and a couple of neophyte rookie quarterbacks,
including a fifth round flyer that Pickett in a supposed
open competition, a meritocracy where Joe Flacco ended up winning.
(17:57):
He lost out, and he was so bad that they
don't even think he's a good backup in Cleveland, like,
we gotta trade him, get rid of him. He can't
even be in a backup that's a quarterback devoid franchise.
It is a Bermuda triangle where quarterbacks go to die,
and they're looking for anyone that's got a pulse, and
they got rid of Kenny Pickett. They got rid of him.
(18:21):
So will Kenny Pickett ever get a shot to start
in Las Vegas or is he destined to be a
career backup? Well, the Raiders Aidan O'Connell is hurt, he's
going to come back at some point. So there's no
guarantee that Pickett even makes the roster the whole year
with the Raiders, and Gino Smith is best. He's with
(18:43):
Pete Carroll, and that's a Pete Carroll picked Gith. Tom
Brady wanted a good quarterback. The Raiders couldn't get a
good quarterback. They wanted Matthew Stafford. They tried to get
some other players, and all the good players ran away
from the Raiders, So the Raiders then were forced to
get some slop. And Pete Carroll says, that's the slop.
I like, that's the crap out of Seattle. I want
that Gino Smith. Sure, we'll get you, Gino Smith. Why not?
(19:04):
So Gino goes to the Raiders. He's a fraud as
a number one quarterback, we all know that. But if
he stays healthy, then he's going to play the entire year,
and Kenny Pickett will get hemorrhoids sitting on the bench.
And despite that glittering record which we mentioned, five games
over five hundred as a backup Kenny Pickett because he
played on good defensive teams in Pittsburgh and they didn't
(19:28):
really play much at all in Philadelphia. But in his
career thirty games, twenty five starts, Kenny Pickett has the
grand total of fifteen touchdowns and fourteen interceptions. Is that good?
Because if that's good, I wish I had you as
a teacher. It is the Ben Maler Show, as we

back to it. We also have Malardly thirtygree coming up
(22:12):
a little bit later in the hour, so we have
that to look forward to as well. And Perito says, Benny,
what Raider fan pissed in your corn flakes? He says?
Or is it just because Blank's LA's third team, the
Lames or LA's third team? Uh big? What did I
say that was wrong? Purito? I don't know what did
(22:33):
I say anything that was wrong? I don't know. Did
I These guys get so upset, so offended? What did
I say that was wrong? You got Jakobe Myers, who's average,
who doesn't want to be there, so trade him. You
brought in a guy who was available. The season begins
in less than like a little over a week. Today
is Tuesday. Next Thursday, the NFL season begins. Nobody signed
(22:56):
to Marik Cooper. Do you think that's because he's really
really good and everyone couldn't afford him, or he signed
a one year deal because nobody wanted him and the
Raiders were the only team that offered him a contract.
What do you think is more likely? And Kenny Pickett
blows everyone knows that in Pittsburgh. Everyone knows that in
Philadelphia and in Cleveland, and soon the Raiders will learn.
(23:17):
So rather than be upset with the messenger, you should say, hey,
wait a minute, Wait a minute, the problem is with
the Raiders. Scrooge says, a bad flea market is an understatement. Ben,
You'd find more value from a landfill than the Raiders roster,
aside from Max Crosby and Rock Power. Now, double Old
(23:42):
Mexican is a level headed unlike Perrito, who's drinking that
black in the Silver and blackcool aid. Double Old Mexicans
like eight point one on the mall of monologue. I
got Meyers going to the Patriots for a fourth round
pick would be a fifth but Josh mcdummy will break
out the pom poms for Jobe Myers. You can see
that no stradinas in Seattle Rights and he says, got
(24:04):
to say, Pete Carroll is pulling all the rabbits out
of his football hat in loading up on the kind
of players that get to get him five to six wins.
It is fascinating Thoster Denis. It is impressive to see
them do. It was good to see Nostre Deinas, but
I hadn't seen him in a number of years. And
he and his wife lovely wife there, lovely wife except vegan,
(24:26):
so she's not perfect. Yeah, chicken strips on the you
know she's on the dark side, but you know it happens.
Some of us make those decisions. Who else do we
have to see? Mark the full name guy keeps sending
me comments about the Cleveland Spiders. Is there anything less
relevant than comments about the Cleveland Spiders? On sports radio
in twenty twenty five, I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go, No,
(24:50):
the eighteen ninety nine Cleveland Spiders. I think I'm good.
Let's go to phones. We have a first time caller.
Matt is in Boulder Creek in Calli and he's up next. Hello, Matt, Welcome,
is Matt alive? Mac going one welcome. I'm so excited.
I saw a new caller there we went to and
(25:13):
he's about to break my heart. He's not he's not
going to answer the phone. I think he's not there, Ben.
I don't hear him snoring though. If he's not listening
to the phone, he blew me off. Okay, and he's
and he's gonna hear himself. And they'll call back and say, oh,
I was understand it was his phone thing. All right,
we'll think. Well, that'll be a preview of tomorrow's newbie
(25:36):
Night on the show, which will be all new callers
for the entire night. Tomorrow night, let's go to a
Lucky Tony in the Bay Area. Hello Lucky Tony. Oh Tony,
all I say, oh my god, he's gonna be one
of those nights. He'll be one of those freaking nights.
Am I allowed to complain about the quality of phone
(25:57):
calls or no? No, it's not the I Tony's calls are good.
The issue is that either he's in a bad cell
spot or our phone system is kapluey. Try to getting
Lucky Tony. Hello, Lucky Tony. Doc ah, all right, I'm
hanging up on everybody everyone who's I'm gonna hang up
(26:20):
on you. We tried, and I'm gonna hang up on you,
and you and you over there on line three, I'm
hanging up on you. So there's I've cleared the board.
I have now cleared the board. Every line is open
eight seven seven ninety nine on grieving eight seven seven?
Can I get a good call there? Eight seven seven?
(26:42):
Can I anybody? All right? So the Hill of Bills?
The Hill of Bills? We have a follow up, follow
up to a story we talked about in the previous
edition of this show. Tyreek Hill somehow still a member
of the Miami Dolphins. Well, he had a tough week.
The news came out this week. Tyreek Hill got some problems,
(27:06):
all right. Remember he got he got married. There was
a very passionate turbulent would be a good word. Marriage.
Seventeen months of marriage. Seventeen months of marriage for Tyreek Hill,
the Dolphin starro wide receiver. Now he earns around thirty
million dollars a year, give or take. What do you
(27:27):
believe his financial obligation is for the marriage? It was
I guess it was actually fifteen months of marriage and
he did not get a prenup. Don't believe, well, I don't.
The Daily Mail, which is a great tabloid in London.
I love it. It's really good, solid tabloid. And so
(27:48):
they've been following the divorce proceedings with this Keita Vakaro
I believe is her name, I don't know. And well,
it turns out he will be paying. There's a one
time check that he's got to write. There's a one
off check which see, I'm not gonna play the game
because you're gonna ruin the game. I know you're gonna
(28:08):
ruin the game. You're both gonna ruin the game. You're
gonna ruin the game. You're gonna ruin the game. You're
gonna ruin the game. It's the old, the old thing
with with Eddie. When he used to work here, he'd
ruin the game. And I know you're gonna ruin the game.
So I'm not going to ask you. I'm just gonna
say that. Tyreek Hill, according to the tabloids, in his
divorce fifteen month marriage to this young lady, is going
(28:29):
to have to write a one time check for five
hundred thousand dollars, but on a monthly basis, he will
be paying his strange wife anywhere between twenty and fifty
thousand dollars per month in quote, spending money. I wouldn't
(28:51):
even know that much. I wouldn't even know how to
spend fifty grand a month or twenty grand? How do
you do that? I mean, I guess if you gave
me the money, I'd find a way to do it.
But I'm sure she's gonna have a very nice house
and a very nice car and a bunch of birkins. Yeah,
she's maybe a new butt. She's also getting money towards
her legal fees. One hundred thousand dollars to spend on
(29:11):
a new car, Well, that's about the going rate for
a car one hundred grand these days. That's ridiculous. And uh,
he's exclusive use of their formal, their former marital home,
five point five million dollar waterfront condo in Miami, and
Hill's got to pay the mortgage on that, insurance and
(29:31):
utilities and internet. Wow, So it's five hundred thousand. But
then that's another five hundred thousand because the house, well,
the house is more than that house five point five million. Wow,
that's a lot of dough then alive. All right, let's
go to the phones. We've reset the calls, screaming Stephen
is next, Hello, screaming Stephen. There, he is there, He

those people are zombies.
Speaker 4 (31:10):
No, I wasn't even invented. Why I was sober for
seventeen years. I never even did ecstasy.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
That most popular. When I was in high school, people
were doing that.
Speaker 4 (31:20):
Man, but I lived in North Dakota.

The lego thing? The worst thing to step on is
a Tinker toy. You're my age, you remember Tinker.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
I do remember Tinker toys. But I would argue a
small lego piece where you hit the corner is the
worst pain possible.
Speaker 4 (31:53):
But the wheel with the wood will stick it up
on the steps.

Yeah. Yeah, I think you're dating. You're dating me, and

my life for my mother? One quick statement. She's eighty
nine years old. She just passed away the other day.

this feeling that I can't hate you anymore.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
Oh okay, well you can still hate me.

Malard meet and greet in Houston, which would be very interesting,
very interesting considering the past that I have, as you

The finest franchise in baseball.
Speaker 4 (34:28):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (34:28):

thirty years.

Speaker 6 (39:03):
TMZ caught up with former USC running back Lendale White
over the weekend. He was the thunder to the Lightning
and thunder duo there.
Speaker 1 (39:10):
Oh okay, I remember he was a fat one?
Speaker 6 (39:11):
Yes exactly yeah where Lendale White said that he thinks
that USC will make the college football playoff for the
first time and that he has faith in Lincoln Riley.
Ben does Riley need a College Football Playoff appearance to
keep his job.
Speaker 1 (39:25):
Well, there's a lot of money tied up. I'm one
of my a couple of people I know over there
that are boosters at USC and they thought that was there.
They had won the lottery when they got Lincoln Riley,
and he suck. The problem Wan Riley has Coop is
his teams are soft and they play in the Big Ten.
You're gonna play cold weather games late in the season,
and they're just not built for that. They're soft West
(39:46):
Coast teams. And that's on Lincoln Riley. That's on his
coaching set. I don't see a way that they win,
you know, at the end, and I think he'll be
around for at least another year next.
Speaker 6 (39:56):
Texas wide receiver Nico Collins raved about having CJ. Stratage
as his quarterback, saying that their connection is like bread
and butter. Oh nice, and that they plan on shocking
the world. I like MC and cheese more.
Speaker 1 (40:08):
Ben.
Speaker 6 (40:08):
The Texans have kind of flown under the radar this offseason.
What's their ceiling?
Speaker 1 (40:12):
Yeah, So their ceiling is there'll be a good regular
season and they play in a division nobody cares about
that's why you fly under the radar. The AFC South
is terrible. You've got the Texans, who are the top team, Jacksonville, Indianapolis,
the Titans. It's a terrible division. They'll win, they'll make
the playoffs. They'll be the first playoff game on Saturday
because nobody wants to watch them play.
Speaker 6 (40:30):
Next Major League Baseball announcement will be returning to the
Field of Dreams in Iowa for a game in the
twenty twenty six regular season. Then, what are some other
special locations you think would be good for a game.
Speaker 1 (40:39):
Out in the Pacific. There's this this trash circle of trash.
Why don't they build a stadium in the middle of
the Pacific on that trash island out there? And wouldn't
that be cool? Then clean it up? Why not? What
do you say? Coo bad? We do? I like it?
You pass there is that's a one trash island, baby,
