Speaker 1 (00:00):
Boom Shaka laka. It's our number three, our number three,
and the fashion faux pauw, fashion faux pauw of the
NFL Weekend. Does chief star Travis Kelsey deserve to take
the heat for wearing that T shirt supporting the suspended
race car driver and occasional football player Rashi Rice. Also,

(00:23):
how are things looking for the dinged up Joe Burrow
and the Bengals the latest update he will likely be
out the rest of the year. And what is your
takeaway from Jags wide receiver Brian Thomas Junior's rinky dink play.
Internet investigators found him using alligator arms over the middle
on multiple plays in the game on Sunday. We'll talk

(00:45):
about that and more right now here. It is our
number three. Its shirts off, baby, that's what well the
shirts were actually on, That's the problem. Welcome in the
beginning of another hour of the bed. We are in
the air everywhere, sounding like Rice crispies as we cling

(01:08):
together coast coast, border to border and beyond on the
mast and discernibly powerful microphones of FSR as we break
rocks m moundating live from the highway. As we are
on the highway to Hell from the world famous Fox
Sports Radio Studios as approved by Rob the Goatman, and

(01:32):
this portion of the Ben Mathers Show on Fox made
possible in part by our friends at Express Employment Professionals

manufacturing business complex, but staffing your business doesn't have to be.
Let Express Employment Professionals provide the workforce you need. Go

That's Expresspros dot Com had a Monday night double header.
But our lead this hour not from the Monday night
double header. Wins go to the team from Tampa Bay
and the team from La the Road teams two and
zero on Monday Night as the Chargers and the Buccaneers
both win, and if you bet the point spread, the

(02:16):
Texans were favored, so that didn't matter in that game,
and the Chargers did cover the number in their game
at Vegas over the Raiders. But the story this hour
is out of cannes Aw City. So not only are
the Chiefs zero and two to start the year and
very difficult schedule up ahead, so when it rains it pours.

(02:36):
Have you heard the latest NFL scandal Djore coming out
of Cannes City. Now, this does not involve Taylor Swift. However,
it does involve the person she's planning to marry. So
if you haven't heard about this, buckle up, buccaroo. So,
multiple multiple members, multiple members of the Kansas City football team,

(02:58):
led by star Tide and America's hero Travis kelce We're
wearing free four shirts, as in the number four free
four shirts in support of their suspended wide receiver friend
Rashie Rice. Now the same Rashie Rice, who, by the way,

(03:21):
is serving a NFL suspension, which he agreed to after
pleading guilty to a felony, multiple felony charges tied to
reckless that reckless crash on the highway there in Dallas
this offseason. And the gesture of kindness by Travis Kelcey

(03:42):
and those other players on Kansas City not as famous
immediately ignited a firestorm. The outrage army had been activated.
They signaled the blue into the bugle. The outrage army
responded immediately, and it was a social media old fire
is what it was. And you had coach Andy Reid

(04:04):
who made some comments on his weekly radio show. I'm
sure that's ribboning in Kansas City. Reid said he didn't
shy away from it. I'll give you the brief thumbnail recap.
Andy Reid did not shy away when asked about these
shirts that Travis Kelce was wearing and some of his
teammates there. He defended his players, shocking defended his players.

(04:25):
He did the spin, spin, spin, spin, spin like a
dradle that this is just a team loyalty thing and
nothing more than that. It's just stand by your man.
That's essentially what Andy Reid said. All right, that's a
good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question. Does
chief start tight end Travis Kelce's T shirt choice? Does

(04:47):
he deserve to take the heat that he's taking for
wearing a T shirt T shirt supporting Kelsey wearing a
T shirt supporting the suspended wide receiver Rashie Rice on
this one, well, I'm gonna go I'll answer this, but
I've got pulled the rug Southwest and Goldman Sachs, and

(05:07):
we will combine all these things together and we are
gonna make the Baba Gaanoche. We're gonna make the Baba
Ganooch is what we're gonna make. So first of all,
my answer is absolutely on this one. I'm gonna go
absolutely yeah. I understand things like this always kind of
surprised me, and I shouldn't be surprising anymore. This happens
a lot. It's not new. There were people when Aaron

(05:28):
Hernandez like killed somebody. There were people, was it the
Pouncey brothers that were like free Aaron Hernandez like that.
I mean, he was a murderer and everyone knew it
and he was convicted of it, and they were like, well, no, no,
we're gonna support We're gonna support our guy, Aaron Hernandez.
And so this was obviously not a murder. It was
not came close to that. So Travis kelcey, I think

(05:49):
we can determine based on the fact that he a
took the shirt but then be wore the shirt proudly
beaming the podcast guy Travis kelce wandering the field there
before the game, it tells you that Travis kelce is
a dingle Berry. Travis Kelce dingle Berry absolutely is on

(06:12):
this one anyway. Rashi Rice, for those that don't know,
I think it was I seventy five. If I remember Crafty,
he turned the highway whatever road it was there, into
his own personal autobot and it was Fast and the
Furious but real life. This was like an audition tape
for Fast and the Furious by Rashi Rice. They estimated
that he hit one hundred and nineteen miles an hour.

(06:35):
This was not at three or four in the morning.
This was during daylight hours. As I understand it, he
won one hundred and nineteen miles an hour. That is
not some kind of minor like parking ticket. That is
a felony activity. And he was charged with felonies. And

(06:56):
there's Travis kelce La La la la l l l
l la la la out there, you know, dingle Berry,
Travis Kelcey, I support my guy. This is a pull
the rug situation. It is a pull the rug situation,
meaning that Rashi Rice is luckily lucky he did not
have the rug as in Henry Ruggs pulled on him.

(07:18):
You might remember Henry Ruggs. He's currently listening to us
from a penitentiary in Las Vegas, in Nevada there as
he's serving some time now. In this Rashi Rice situation,
people were hospitalized. He was driving one hundred and nineteen
miles an hour like fast and the furious, but real
people's lives were put on hold because of this situation.

(07:39):
He pled guilty, He was sentenced because he doesn't have
a criminal record. He got five years probation and thirty
days in jail. And here's Travis Kelcey supporting this, like
this is great, We support our guy, and Rashi Rice
agreed to the suspension. These suspensions are never handed out
anymore by the NFL. They're all negotiated behind closed doors

(08:01):
between the league office and the agents. And so he
didn't just drop a pass in the end zone on
a third down play with the Chiefs trailing. That didn't happen. No,
Rashie Rice could have easily killed someone. And clearly there
was a guardian angel that looked out for him and

(08:24):
the people that were involved in this. And so Rice
made a disaster type of decision, like, well, what do
you do? It's a disaster class situation for Rashie Rice.
And it was Travis Kelsey, the biggest non star can
we he great? Travis Kelsey's the biggest non quarterback, non
star quarterback in the NFL. We're all nodding our head, yes.

(08:46):
And so he's out there. He's stumping around for a
guy who turned the highway system in Dallas into a
demolition derby. And what a dope like a double dope
dopy dopeity dope. He is what that is? All right now? Meanwhile,
to Cincinnati we go, where the football team is about

(09:07):
as good as the chili. Justin and Cincinnati tells me
the Skyline Chili. The other chili's there. Justin's not a
fan anyway. Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow. This is called a
follow up to the follow up. Follow up to the
follow up. Bengal's quarterback Joe Burrow will need surgery. That
has been double and triple confirmed. Will need surgery. He
will be sidelined, oh my aching toe for a minimum

(09:32):
of three months. If everything goes well, everything goes well,
it'll be back on the field mid December. The most
talked about tow everyone loves toe talk in all the
NFL with Joe Burrow has officially been sidelined for at
least three months and likely longer. Likely longer. The minimum

(09:56):
three month absence of Burrow his timeline to return that
is again best case scenario, it is more realistic that
the next time we see Travis Kelce will be somewhere
in a mini camp next off season. So now the Bengals,
how will they do here? As they will have Jake

(10:19):
Browning talked about this a little bit in a previous
episode of the show. Jake Browning will take over going forward.
He'll make his first start of the season this coming
weekend against another backup quarterback, Carson Wentz and the Minnesota Vikings.
Tickets are available that is the Week three matchup in
that game. So question, how are things looking for the

(10:40):
dinged up, Joe Burrow less Cincinnati ben Gals as they
turn to Jake Brownie. So this is a television commercial.
It is think the Great Southwest, not south By Southwest
thinks South Southwest Airlines want to get away. It's one
of those want to get away situations here, and these
Cincinnati Bengals going from Joe Burrow, who granted was not

(11:02):
playing great in the game and some change that he played,
but you're going from Joe Burrow who is there Bentley,
he is their Sunday weekend car. That's Joe Burrow, the
franchise and they sayd all right, we don't have that.
We can't drive the Bentley anymore, so we don't have that.
So we're gonna go to Jake Browning, which is like
kind of going to Hurt's rental car and getting a

(11:23):
Kia Soul that has a lot of miles, a lot
of dents on it, it's worn down, the paint's kind
of faded, and it doesn't have air conditioning, and it's
during the summer. But other than that, it's a great deal.
So you go from the Feldemnon and then you go
from that, and then you get some dollar General beef
jerky that you picked up. You know, you don't know

(11:44):
if there's any beef in there. You're not sure. There
might be beef, but you're not sure if it's beef,
it might be something else. And it's been sitting around
for like three months and it's really not good. And
the holding anyway, So the chatter is that it's a
sea at mini camp situation. As we said at Burrow,
he is the engine and the engine is not going
to be there. So you say, by buye to the

(12:05):
engine and all that stuff. This will put coach Zach
Taylor on a toasty seat. Do you agree or disagree
that the Bengals it is more likely than not that
they will not end up doing anything of note at
the end of the year, which means they are going
to end up looking into a coaching change. Now, the

(12:26):
thing that Zach Taylor has is he works relatively cheap,
and the Bengals don't want to pay him any money
that he has in his contract if they have to
pay another coach. But Taylor is standing there and he
essentially got that laminated Denny's menu, and that's his play sheet,
and he's trying to convince everyone that Jake Browning, next

(12:47):
man up, do your job. He's trying to speak it
into existence, is what he's trying to do. And for
a couple of weeks. My theory on this is always
there is a bump. Now, I don't know what you
do with the Minnesota Cincinnati game because you're both backup
quarterbacks in that game, but there is a little bit
of a bumpety bump when you go to the backup quarterback.
But the longer you play, all of your frailties, all

(13:07):
of your weaknesses are exposed. People figure out the reason
you're a backup is you're not good enough to start
and it ends up normally ending as a devastating situation.
So the Bengals went from thinking this year Joe Burrow
dark horse MVP candidate, maybe we can sneak under the radar,
possibly under the radar, And now they're already starting to

(13:28):
update the mock draft to see, well, what can we
get an offensive lineman in the twenty twenty sixth draft?
Do we have to be in the top five of
the twenty twenty six draft? Like, but wait a minute,
we're two and oho, that's not a great record to
get a top ten pick. All right, final fought. We
go to Jacksonville, where they football is bad, but the
sports talk is good. Wide receiver Brian Thomas Junior, who

(13:50):
was a total stud a year ago and he has
been put on blast astro blasters for his shoddy play.
Thomas who made the Pro as a rookie, which is
great because you get to play tic tac toe and
volleyball and no football required to be in the Pro
Bowl because the players are marshmallows. Anyway, at five catches

(14:12):
for sixty yards through as five catches sixty yards through
two weeks of the NFL season, despite being targeted nineteen times.
So if you're a baseball player, I mean, you can
kind of do the math on that, right, you don't
need me to do the math on that. But your
baseball player said, well, five out of nineteen. If you're

(14:34):
a baseball player, like, all right, that's a two sixty
three batting average. That's okay. It's not great. It's not
terrible to two sixty three batting average. In football, if
you're a wide receiver and you're targeted that many times
and you've blown it fourteen of the nineteen times, you
really effed up. Uh, And so a lot of drops
mixed in there. And that's only part of the problem.

(14:57):
And now to the rest of the story. The rest
of the story. Some internet sluice with a lot of
free time on their hands, and they went back and
they did inventory. They did inventory on the play on
Sunday for Brian Thomas Junior. Turns out that Thomas made
multiple business decisions where he led up on catchable passes.

(15:23):
There's one highlight that went viral where it was right
in the middle of the field. There were a couple
of bengaled defenders closing in on Thomas. The ball was
coming towards him, and in that split second, Brian Thomas
Junior said, am I going to catch the ball? I
can catch it, but I'm going to get mollywopped? Or
am I going to just allow the ball to go

(15:45):
through and hit me and not catch it? And he
chose the latter and it made a passive effort to
get the ball. So the question on this one, what
is your takeaway from that viral clip wide receiver for
the Jacksonville Jags Brian Thomas and his rinky dink play,
his rinky dink play of the first two games of

(16:06):
the twenty twenty five seasons. So things are not looking
good right now. There's a lot of people upset, mainly
fantasy football dopes who were upset. But that was a
total disgrace on that one play in particular. Did I
watch every single snap? No, I did not, but I
know on that play and it appears on a lot
of plays. When you're five of nineteen catching passes as
a wide receiver and you were really good the year before,

(16:28):
you are pulling a Houdini act over the middle. You're
pulling the Houdini act. And Brian Thomas Jr. He's made
in these two games, it appears more business decisions than
Goldman Sacks. He might as well go to New York
and go down to Wall Street and knock on the
door at Goldman Sacks and say, listen, I'm qualified. Well,
what do you do for a living? What do you do? Brian?

Speaker 2 (16:47):
Well?

Speaker 1 (16:48):
I play football? We're not qualified. You're a football player.
But just listen to me. I play for the Jacksonville judge. Well,
I don't want to hear that. You're still I work
here at Goldman Sacks. You're still not qualified. Well, no, no, no,
but I make business decisions. And then show the clip
of him not trying to catch passes that were clearly catchable.
Goldman Sacks will hire him right away, right away, They'll
hire him right He's got a nickname, the Cowardly Jag

(17:09):
that works. That was a winnable game, winnable game. Jacksonville
flushed it away in part, and that wasn't all on
Brian Thomas Junior, but in part because he did not
go for it all right now, back in the day,
to an old guy. Right now, back in the day,
you had players, even Jerry Rice, the greatest of all time.

(17:30):
But Jerry's I thought I was the toughest armbre in
the world. But he would catch passes and you'd have,
you know, back in that year, guys like Steve Atwater,
Chuck Cecil, the human torpedo that would come flying at
you and he'd still hang on the ball. Michael Irvin
the Playmaker, built his resume, his Hall of Fame resume
with the Dallas Cowboys getting clobbered by Ronnie a Lot

(17:51):
legendary safety from the forty nine ers who'd hit him
right between the numbers. And now now I know time's changed, right, Oh,
it's always getting better. You have Brian Thomas Due and
you're who sees two Bengal defenders in front of him,
and what does he do. He acts like a French
soldier and raises the right the white flag. That's it,
no more, tucks his tail like he's a scared doggie,

(18:15):
and that's it. And he's certainly big enough to take
the hits. You would think he's got all the measurables.
That's why it was drafted where he was and yet
looks like DeShawn Jackson playing on night quill, a lot
of night quill, terrified, terrified of contact, terrified and uh,
some of you idiots. Who's a hospital ball. It's gonna

(18:36):
send him in the hospital. It's on the it's on
the quarterback. Crap crapowla is what I say. That's kind
of the gig. It's kind of the gig. And you know,
if you want to make the big money, you make
those catches. Maybe not anymore, maybe not anymore, but back
in the day, it was always the formula, the crossing route,
knowing that the line back of the safety is going

(18:57):
to meet you head on and there'll be a massive
collision and all that. You catch the ball, you take
the hit, You pop back up, next play. That's right,
catch the ball, take the hit, pop back up, go
to the next play, go to the huddle. And is
it a lack of testosterone? Is a lack of machismo?
Is it just everyone's been programmed to be soft and
that's the way it is. And it's never going back

(19:19):
to that. There's a few players that are like that.
But there was a point and it stopped within the
last fifteen years or so where being the baddest ombre
in the stadium like that was a badge of honor.
You didn't run from the contact. You run towards the contact.

(19:39):
That was what you used to do, and you don't
see much of that. There's a few players, count them
on one hand that are like that. It's the changing
of the guard from gladiators to the chicken hearts. That's
the way it goes. And from Hines Ward cracking helmets
to Brian Thomas Junior who's got those little arms that
can't reach the football on third and six or thirty

(20:00):
because he might get smacked around and doesn't want that.
And so there you go. This is again, this is
the NFL. I grew up on the NFL. I was
fed as a child the NFL's hardest hits. If NFL
films still did stuff, I know they do a few things,
but it's not like it was their highlight clips for
the year. Would be the NFL's biggest jellyfish. Here's the

(20:20):
NFL receiver that has the littlest balls in the NFL.
It is the Ben Mahller Show. If you'd like to

(22:34):
the Riddle of the day A cowboy fan went viral
after showing up to a game against the Giants with
a fully functional blank. A fully functional blank, that is
the Malor Riddle of the day. Yeah, keep it clean,
you you jerks. I know what you do, you know

(22:56):
who you are. Shame on you. Let's see page down
on this and see here Bobby and Florida giving us
the clean version of what many of you are not
keeping clean. The fully functional marital aid batteries apparently included.
Who else do we have? A fully functional Jerry Jones

(23:18):
from Just Josh and Cincinnati and Keith Ocho text, though
obviously cheated, bad job by him. Page down. Timothy says
he's off topic. Says Jake Browning is good. Bengal should
win six more before Burrow gets back, so they'll win sixties.
So theyll go eight to nine this year because Burrow
is not going to come back this year. So you

(23:39):
just said Browning's good, So they'll win eight games because
they've already won two and really one of those is
with Browning at the end, so really they'll only win
five more games, so therefore they'll win seven and they'll
be seven and ten, a losing record, mal Thank you,
alf the alien opiner says, a fully functional clown car.
Let's see what he has to say, fully functional cotton
candy mish from Late Night Drug tester, A colander from

(24:03):
King Rory page down, blind Scott's fully functioning plunger I
guess by Milkman Mike in Colorado courtesy Flesher says a
pizza vending machine is the answer. Who else do we
have a page down? Thanks for flushing. Can't read that,
mister irrigation with an interesting answer there? Who else do

(24:24):
we have all these tammy lookalikes? Was guest? We have
super soaker from Eke and Roseville, Minnesota, eight track player
from Donkey's Sausage. That was also from from Doug. That
was his answer, Cat meow, machine meow. That's from JT.
The Wingman. Who else do we have page down? Let's

(24:47):
see here? Can't I can't read that? Eileen loved the
Mallard monologue because I mentioned a bunch of old forty
nine er players. All right, lo reader, do you have
an answer? Lrad Yeah? Oh my goodness, what is it?

Speaker 5 (25:01):
I was thinking he brought out a fully functioning toilet.

Speaker 1 (25:04):
Actually, maybe functioning toilet won't be just a guard?

Speaker 5 (25:06):
Is that maybe he had a tummy age?

Speaker 1 (25:08):
Is that correct? Apparently not? After a year correct answer
The malor riddle of the day. A cowboy fan went
viral after showing up to the game against the Jazz
were a fully functional iron Man mask.

Speaker 5 (25:26):
That was so sick? Where do you get those?

Speaker 1 (25:30):
How much you think that cost you? He made it
as such? If you made it yourself it's one. He
probably bought it, but who's selling them. You can't really
buy them anywhere. I'm a RAM fan. I can't buy
a RAM helmet like that.

Speaker 5 (25:40):
I know they have Iron Man masks at Disneyland, but
I don't know if you can actually wear it, wear it, have.

Speaker 1 (25:47):
To double check. Okay, well, yeah, this thing opens up,
so you're gonna have a nice rin.

Speaker 5 (25:51):
But also how annoying would that be to have to
lift the mask every time you want to cool?

Speaker 1 (25:56):
But you don't wear something like that unless you want
people to look at you. True, right, Yeah, so you
probably open that and you're probably every time you need
a nacho, you're like, I'm gonna eat one nacho, I'm
gonna put the mask back up and then take it
down again another chip. That's how we do it. That
is how we do it. Let's go to the phones
and we'll saylo to Eenie meenie miney moll. Let's say

(26:16):
hello to blind Scott, who's on the north end of Boston.
He old blind Scott, we are gonna have Mather's Mountain
of Money coming up. Hello Scott, Hey, what's up dude?

Speaker 6 (26:24):
I love that guy. Andrew from Burbank he's like a
younger guy. You should put him on the air every.

Speaker 1 (26:29):
Time you talk about you know, he's in Bakersfield, not Burbank.
Much different. Bakersfield and Burbank much different.

Speaker 6 (26:35):
What's so different about it?

Speaker 1 (26:36):
I can't imagine where do we start the price of houses? People,
Bakersfield is a good farming town. All those are in California.

Speaker 6 (26:47):
It's still in California.

Speaker 1 (26:49):
Understand, California is like it's a massive hue. You don't
understand how big California is. Act you never lived an
that is nice.

Speaker 6 (27:01):
I did. I had to move back after like three weeks.
I had this girlfriend and she made me sleep on
the port. I called my mom and she bailed me out.
You know, dude, Yeah, I have my mom's coming over today.

Speaker 1 (27:11):
Actually, dude, I'm your mom. Sat Yeah.

Speaker 6 (27:15):
I think we got a good chance of getting Lorena
on the Bachelorette, Like we obviously have network connections.

Speaker 1 (27:21):
Yeah, that are listening, Lorena? Would you would you go
on the Bachelorette?

Speaker 5 (27:24):
I already feel like I'm on the Bachelorette?

Speaker 4 (27:26):
Ben?

Speaker 1 (27:26):
Do you okay? Interesting?

Speaker 3 (27:28):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (27:29):
Because I'm supposed to get on a dainty show love
on the spectrum, but they told me absolutely not. But
you know, you never know, like I could convince people
into doing it and doing it for me. Let me
tell you something about the Patriots. So the Patriots are
unbelievably good. I don't know if you have any Mirabel
audio from after the game. He really talks these guys up.
They beat the Miami Dolphins that they're called the Greater

(27:51):
Fort Lauderdale Miami Dolphins. You know what I'm saying. I
don't know if you've ever been to that hard Rock
Stadium in Miami, if they still call it that, But
there's no parking around the stadium. There's no way to
get to the game. They completely you know, the fans
right there.

Speaker 1 (28:03):
Well I was, I was there, but when I was
there before they renovated it, I went to a Marlins game,
a few Marlins games there, and it was it was
a dump then, but it looks nice.

Speaker 6 (28:12):
Waita, so what happened because I just took that takeoff there.
I have no idea what it even means. Is it
like expensive real estate around there? Like why don't they
have any parking around there for anybody?

Speaker 1 (28:23):
Oh, it's Florida. It is expensive. And that was as
I remember the way I was there many years ago.
It was not a great neighborhood where the stadium was.

Speaker 6 (28:31):
Maybe judge from judge from Florida.

Speaker 1 (28:34):
Man, he's not from there. He's from the redneck riv
aera that's much different than you.

Speaker 6 (28:39):
Got to clear this up from Florida. Do not like
Jed representing Florida. He said southern Florida. Don't go down there.
He's talking about like where he lives. Actually, you know
what I mean, Southern Florida.

Speaker 1 (28:50):
Well, no, he's not in southern Florida. He's in he's
in northern He's in the Panhills.

Speaker 6 (28:55):
It's a place where you don't want to go. You
don't want to be there. It's scary around there.

Speaker 1 (28:59):
The scary they have.

Speaker 6 (29:01):
Like gated communities.

Speaker 1 (29:03):
You know what I'm saying, Are you afraid of gated communities?
Who is afraid of gated me?

Speaker 6 (29:07):
I'm afraid. Here's what here's my experience with gated communities.
I'm blind. I've walked into a gated community before and
people pull the you know, they pull their things out
on you and they say get off my property and
you go. But I'm blind, and they say you look
like a punk to me, you know what I'm saying,
and then I have to clear things up, you know
what I mean? Later on they got some explaining to do.

Speaker 1 (29:24):
Yeah, I understand. These are very difficult things that you
have to deal with in life. Have you calmed down
by the way you had a major hissy fit last week?
You sent me a million emails. I don't Can we
keep you on your meds? Can we please keep you
on your meds? I don't need to deal with it.

Speaker 6 (29:37):
Feel I feel really good. I had to unfollow Coop
and you last week, but not Lorena.

Speaker 1 (29:42):
But I decided why didn't you want to follow Lorena?

Speaker 6 (29:46):
Because like I always am on the side of Lorena
like one percent. Oh dude, I thought, well.

Speaker 1 (29:51):
Because she's a girl, is that why that's not fair?
Well no, no, I found a way how to believe women.

Speaker 6 (29:57):
In the algorithm to let that work out. It do
what the algorithm on the internet likes the name Ben
Maller like. So here's the thing, Ben, You're losing a
lot of money by on Twitter because you have so
much interaction. If you tweet Ben Maller, it flies like
so many people can see it, even on Reddit. I've
been experimenting on Reddit.

Speaker 1 (30:17):
You know how I feel, Scott. I've ranted about this
on my podcast. It's all all these numbers are bogus.
It's it's the it's the matrix. So if you can
figure out blind, Scott, if you can manipulate it, I'm fine.
I don't care. I think it's all fake anyway.

Speaker 6 (30:32):
A younger person who knows more than he should try
because people see me doing it and they get like
horrified that I'm doing it. But I'm just messing around.
I'm home here, I'm working.

Speaker 1 (30:40):
On No listen, if you I gotta go. But if
you can you mess with the algorithm, I'm fine with it.
There used to be a talk show host here. I
will not reveal the name of the person who had
no one following them on on social called Twitter. Then
and the guy's kid figured out how to create bots
to follow them, and it was the funny thing. So

(31:01):
on a Friday, they had about twelve hundred people following
them on Twitter. By Monday morning, it was over one
hundred thousand people in one weekend. But the bad part
is it's fake interactions. It doesn't matter, but it's all
fake that if you can buy interactions, if you want
you can buy views. It's all bogus. All the whole
thing's fake anyway. All right, let's meet our contestants for
