night to provide you fresh pod and here it is
on this Wednesday.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
So where are you at?
Speaker 2 (00:15):
On a couple of NFL jocks ex NFL jocks, Ryan
Clark and Chris Long running interference for Bill Belichick. We'll
analyze that story. Also, we've learned that Fox assigned sideline
reporter Aaron Andrews and her podcast pal Carissa Thompson to
lucrative contracts for twenty twenty five and beyond. Is that
(00:38):
a big deal, a little deal or no deal?
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Also?
Speaker 2 (00:42):
How much stalk do you put in defensive star Max
Crosby singing the praises of the changed culture with the
Pete Carroll Raiders will.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Go there as well. Here it is. Have a great Wednesday.
It's our number four.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Standing by Bill huh. Welcome in the beginning of another
hour of the Ben Mather Show.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
As we are in the.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Air everywhere talking in a vacuum. Well, it's actually a
microphone which is inside a vacuum.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Absolutely, because we.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Not only have a cannon for an arm, but right
now it's locked somewhere in the vault. Unfortunately, Coast to coast,
border to moder and beyond. On the vast and hillatiously
powerful microphones of fs are amm nating live from the.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Jog as we jog your mind.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
From the Fox Sports Radio studios, as approved by the
number one pool Guy. That would be longtime p one
and dreaded daytime worker James, the pool guy who has
supported this show.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Over the years.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
We we thank him in this portion of the Ben
Malis Show, made possible in part by tire Rack. For
over forty years, ty Iraq has been helping customers like
Jonathan and Delaware find the right tires for how, what
and where they drive, ship fast and free back by

Speaker 1 (02:24):
The la tire buying should be so our lead.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
This hour is from the wacky world of media musings.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
That's right, media musings.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
So I bring this up because a couple of X
shocks they wrote in like a Knight, Like a Knight's
in shining armor to defend Bill Belichick.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
I don't know about you.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
I didn't realize Bill Belichick needed someone to defend him,
but apparently that's the case. I missed out on this.
I must have been taking a nap, bad job by me,
So I don't decided or not. But Ryan Clark, that
blowhard Ryan Clark and part time blowhard Chris Long, the
son of Howie. So they were crying crocodile tears. They
(03:10):
were very upset, very upset. And how the evil media, the.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Media is treating poor old Bill Belichick. Boo hoo hoo,
poor Bill stuck there in Chapel Hill near's Spacoli and
our listener there and coaching the Tar Hills and evil
media man. So Ryan Clark said, a lot of people
(03:35):
have been waiting to beat Bill up because he's always
had the upper.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Hand with the media.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
He said, and right next to him was Chris Long
and nodding his head and agreeing and adding on.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
And the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
So let us discuss the question where are you at
on a couple of ex joks, Ryan Clark and Chris
Long running interference if you will, for North Carolina coach
Bill Belichick. Right, So I got card Shark, COVID and Jackpot,
(04:12):
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are going to hit a moonshot, is what we're
going to hit to the moon, to the moon, not
to lead off.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
So I did chuckle when I saw this one.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Was getting ready during the day and was getting ready
for the show, and I saw these comments go by,
and initially I was like, Okay, I don't who cares.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
I don't really.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Value Ryan Clark's opinion on anything. But then you have
a two for one special. Now you have two for
one special, and I was saying about it, like, ah,
you know, this is so stupid. I'm gonna bring it
up on the show. It's so dumb, and it's it's
like a carnival cruise. We're actually talking about this in
a previous hour, and I'm not talking about the infamous
poop cruise.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
No, this is a cruise to the isle of irony.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
So you've got a couple of former NF players who
are ranting and raving these jamokes about defending Bill Belichick,
and the media is out to Gadam and all this
stuff while getting a big fat check. These two dumb dums.
Let me check my notes here from the media. That's
(05:17):
why they work in the media.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Hello, Yeah, they're not just in the building.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
They're not visiting like Mike the Leprechaun was visiting and
got us in trouble. No, they like hosted little shows
and all that stuff. Let that marinate in your little
undercooked frontal lobe, uh if you will for a second,
like what in the web and what North? So this
is the magic of new media.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Now.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Ryan Clark does old media too, he has television, but
it's new media, the new media landscape where many seem
convinced that while doing media, they're not media. Now we
admit we are in the media, but we are not
the mainstream media. There's a different mainstream media in radio
is six am to six pm. That's where they pay
(06:06):
you good money, they send you on trips, they give
you the complete and total support staff you need, all
that stuff. Overnight it's different, it's a different mmal. So
we're not mainstream on the overnight show. Those morning shows
and afternoon shows, daytime shows, they are mainstream. So that's
what we don't say we're not in the media. We're
obviously in the media. I'm talking to a microphone on
(06:27):
six hundred radio stations right now. Clearly I'm in the
media and the podcast and all. But I always love
these ex jocks that become a media people, and they're like, well,
you know, it's like a card shark.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
It's like a sleight of hand, is what it is.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Like, Well, you know, I'm going to criticize the media
while in the media getting a check.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
From a media company. Dumb d dumb, dumb dumb.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
It's like a chef blaming the restaurant they work at
for the food. Who does that? So Ryan Clark and
this cat along there, Chris Long, they want to have
it both ways. They want the credibility of insider ex
player guy, and they want to be detached from the
(07:15):
media and the outsiders and all that stuff. So unfortunately,
I don't think maybe I'm wrong on this. You can
correct me. I don't think you're canna be both the
arsonist and the fire Marshal. He can't be fire Marshal.
I guess fire Marshall.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Bill, you could maybe do that. But let's not forget
Ryan Clark.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
You remember he dressed up for Halloween as yeah, a little awkward,
dressed up as who me? And oh that's right, Bill Belichick. Yeah,
Bill Belichick. He had the full prosthetic makeup, complete with
the game warn hoodie, the whistle, the whole thing. Which
(07:53):
doesn't seem like someone who's really trying to protect their
football legacy and they're credit Marlin. That sounds like entertainment
to me. That sounds like a shtick. What it sounds
like to me sounds like show business, sounds like I
don't know. Media possibly, So the Belichick story, it's not
(08:15):
unfairly piling on.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
It.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
As we like to say on this show.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
We do broadcasting, not narrowcasting, like we have some losers
that want us to talk about the WNBA. That's narrowcasting.
It's not a broad audience for the WVa. So we
do broadcasting. We talk about stories that have broad appeal.
For example, a legendary football coach who's seventy three years
old dating a fluozy who's forty eight years his senior
(08:40):
or junior. Rather that seems like a story everyone's gossiping about.
Like not to say that some people wouldn't do it
if they had the opportunity, if they had the money
and the means to do it, But it's just people
talk about the sho with Belichick's doing.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
My god, now that girl could be his granddaughter.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
That is a titillating story that gets people buzzing and
people want to talk about it, and that's what you do.
You talk about stories people are interested in. You're supposed
to do that, So if you want to, I'll break
it down a little a little slower for those who
in the back of the room. You slow learners. You
know you are, so when you and this is for
Ryan Clark and mister long there. So when you get
(09:17):
checks to talk about football, you are not the former player.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
You're a current commentator in the media. So there is that,
and you don't.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Get to play the I'm keeping it real card from
the bottom of the deck while sitting under the bright
studio lights and into a very expensive microphone with a
bunch of people promoting your crap. Anyway, I turned the page,
so more TV news that caught my attention. I got
a lot of this is like my therapy. I just
come in here and I just complain.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
So I did see that Fox Television has signed a
sideline reporter Aaron Andrews and podcast pal Carrissa Thompson to
big money contracts for the twenty twenty five NFL season.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
And beyond to the Moon and beyond. So they are
locked up.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
So the question is this a big deal, a little deal,
or no deal. So I have an I think it's
an unpopular opinion. I'll say it anyway. I think it's
no deal. Like who cares?
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Like?
Speaker 2 (10:28):
I don't. I don't get the sideline reporter. I actually
did that job for a college football game in Oklahoma
Nebraska game years ago. They some idiot hired me to
be the sideline reporter. And I did the job. And
it was in Norman, Oklahoma, and a great college football
venues in America, and I love it and I have
great memories of it. And I'm pretty sure you could
(10:50):
have gone to the Oklahoma Zoo there and gotten a
monkey could have done the job.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
I'm just saying. I'm just saying so. And the other
thing I learned this five years ago.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
During the COVID pandemic. We have two categories two of employees.
We have essential and non essential. Now, I was fascinated
that the overnight talk radio host that talks about sports
is essential. But I would I would argue that the
signedline reporter not really essential. Not I don't think so.
(11:27):
They fall into the non essential category. And so let
me ask you a question, just.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Me and you.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
So, have you ever ever tuned into a football game
on a Saturday or a Sunday because of the sideline referre.
Whether it's Aaron Andrews or somebody else, you you have it, right,
you have it, of course not. And you know why
you haven't because nobody does. That's why nobody ever has,
(11:56):
Nobody ever will unless you're related. Friends or family don't count.
Friends and family don't count. It's not must sy TV.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
It's not.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
There's only a few jobs in sports media that are
must like play by play doesn't matter. Tom Brady's commentary
doesn't mean Nobody tunes in whether whatever Tom Brady good
for him getting the money, or Tony Romo or Aikman
or aos.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Guys you tune in if it's a.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Talk show, you tune into here with the person hosting
the show has to say, uh, if it's whatever that was,
it's sports or politics or whatever, you tune into here
what they have to say? Those jobs though, in sportsman
and I love this, I would like to get some
of these jobs because the more irrelevant the role is,
(12:43):
the more inflated the salary is. Ands Jim Nantz famously
would say, it is a tradition unlike any other it
just is you just you know, spend spend, spend, spend, spend,
spend spend.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
It's like, what do you what? Are you just not
really enhancing anything out.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Yeah, I'm not saying that these particular women aren't good
at what they do. If you know that's a skill,
they're able to do it. They've done it for a
long time. But I just only those jobs take much
talent or anything like that. And when I did it,
here's what you do. You're a sideline reporter. You repeat
things that are given to you by a PR person
(13:20):
for the team as you are saying reporting it or production,
meeting the coach and the quarterback, meet with everyone, some
stuff they give to you to say during the broadcast.
Then after the game, whether it's halftime or after the game,
you ask not one, but two softball questions.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
One is always how does it feel.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
I have a buddy of mine that used to be
a big editor or a newspaper and he's retired now
and he will send me messages after every freaking NFL game.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
There's a look good, how do you feel? How did
you feel?
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Yeah, so that's one of the questions now, needless to say.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
And then we move on from that, but they just
it doesn't move the needle again, and they make a
lot of money.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Good for them. They found a hustle. Do the hustle.
But it's not driving ratings. It's it's cotton candy. You
don't really need cotton candy. Maybe you like it fluffy, sugary,
you like that stuff. So I guess it's just you
got to if you're running these networks. It's like you're
you're battling to as our friend from Denver earlier called up,
(14:24):
you get your cigar out and you're just lighting one
hundred dollars bills and one after another and all that stuff.
So it's a star power. I'm convinced. I've got some
friends who are television people. They're better people because they
do TV. And they're like, well, yeah, they have to justify,
you know, spend all the billions of dollars on these
rights packages, and so they have these things called upfronts,
(14:46):
and they have to show advertisers that they're spending a
lot of money on broadcasts, that these are the top broadcasters.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
And all that stuff. So good for them, I guess
you're pouring money into the margins. Get away with it.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
I think you tune in because it's a good game.
And if the game sucks, it doesn't matter who's opening.
You're done, you're out. See you later, all right, now, quickly,
last thing. We go to Viva Las Vegas, where a
guy named Mouthwash Mike used to call the show and
showed up to the famous mallor meet and greet we
(15:21):
did last time in Sin City, and he was toting
a container of mouthwash because that was his drink of choice.
Haven't heard from him in a while, Hope he's all right.
Don't know what happened to him. He's okay on the
streets of Vegas. So how much stock do you put
into Max Crosby defensive star Max Crosby singing the Praises,
(15:44):
a sweet lullaby about how the Raiders.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Culture has changed.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
With Pete Carroll for Pete's sake as the coach in Vegas.
So how much stock?
Speaker 1 (15:54):
This is? A penny? Stock is what this is? Great?
Speaker 2 (16:00):
A lot of pennies, A lot of pennies. Max Rosby
is a blowing smoke. There's so much smoke. It's like
a vape convention. It's like a vape convention in Fresno,
there's a lot of a lot of smoke, a lot
of smoke, and at the same time he's working as
(16:21):
slobber chops for Pete Carroll, creating a culture. It's not
fake energy, Max Crosby said, not fake energy.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Not fake energy? Right, what does that even mean? Do
you know what that means? But not fake energy? What
is he implying that the previous coach had fake energy?
Speaker 4 (16:40):
Is out?
Speaker 1 (16:40):
He's applying with it. I don't know. Got the grit?
What kind of grit?
Speaker 4 (16:44):
Is it?
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Gluten free? Pete Carroll likes, he doesn't like the gluten.
I don't think. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Organic hustle. Maybe it's organic. It's all organic. One of
the great weasel terms of all time. Organic, Yes, wonderful.
All right, so now listen. I like Pete Carroll. I
dealt with him years ago when he coached at University
of Southern California, and Pete's very positive.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Good dude.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
I hope he does well with the Raiders. I also
thought Antonio Pierce would do well with the Raiders. That
turned out to be a debacle. But let's not get
carried away here. Let me decode what Max Crosby meant.
Max got a bag. It was a silver and black bag.
What's in the bag? How about ninety one point five million?
(17:31):
Now that is a jackpot. That is a massive jackpot. Now,
as a direct direct.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Result, there is a correlation.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Causation situation here where suddenly, when you do the docu
sign on one point five million, whoever the coach is
becomes a genius. Whoever the coach has becomes a genius.
The locker room is suddenly a sanctuary. Everyone sits around
and they have a bonfire and they roast marshmallows and
(18:00):
sing Kumbaya and they have a great spiritual awakening.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
They have that. So they've got that going for you.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
And I'm pretty sure that if the Raiders had hired
after Max Crosey got the ninety one million, if they
had hired a sock puppet, brought the sock puppet in
and they gave the sock puppet a whistle because you
know it's a coach. Max Crosby would be at the
dais at the podium.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
And he was, oh, man.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
The culture More team should hire socks They should, well, socko,
what a great coach. Coach soako man, so good. But
if I'm not mistaken Max Crosby. Even before he signed
the contract, he was ride or die with Antonio Piers,
Rider or die Now Antonio Piers died.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Althoughist are getting paid, but yet Max moved on.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
I don't blame He's doing what every smart player does,
protect the brand.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
When you get paid, you're an.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Ambassador for the team, and you got to do that,
and you praise whoever the boss is and he's filling
the blank and the checks keep coming and you're happy
and all that stuff, and you.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Know, pets, good coach.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
I don't think there's a yoga retreat though, going on
in the Raider facility. I think that's going on, and
we will find out when the season starts in September.
We'll find out if Peeko knows what he's doing and
can win with a very average quarterback in Gino Smith
and pretty average players around Gino Smith and a hot
shot rookie running back and a couple of random players
(19:35):
added to the defense for the Raiders.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
It is the Ban Mahlor Show. By the way, this.

What a bar could be yours? We'll get to that
coming up in a little bit. Also password what word
Game of the Stars coming up later this hour, Proving.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
The average overnight listener has a very limited lexicon. You
canna interact with a say hello on the X machine
at Ben Mahlor, follow Ben at Ben Mahler, Seattle Arena,
FSR Tech Queen and Cooper up Bronco fan. Your comments
cannon will be used against you in the court of
(21:59):
sports radios. So appropriately back to it, Well, we have
a we have an uprising, and uh, good news are
bad news depending on how you look at it. Marcel
cannot get through because the phones are full, So Marcel's upset.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Marcel and Brooklyn is outraged.
Speaker 7 (22:16):
He thinks the.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Phones are broken. They're not broken.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
They're actually working, but the phones are full, so you
can't get through. Sorry about that, Marcel ferg Dog, not
that he listens. Ferg Dog says that Jay guy in Cincinnati,
that was onto something. I would not want to hear
a blind guy breaking down the x's and o's when
they don't even know what an ex or no is.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
I dare you, absolutely, sir.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
The blind wing of the Mallard Militias up in arms
now representing the blind listeners. Let's go now to Cool Daddy,
blind in South Carolina.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Your rebuttal, your rebuttal, sir?
Speaker 4 (22:54):
What's going on? This?
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Is you?
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Hear that voice right there? This sounds like a guy
named cool Daddy, does it not?
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Come on?
Speaker 4 (23:03):
Yeah? That's right, that's right, that's right. This is a
blind man represented though. Man.
Speaker 8 (23:07):
But I gotta say this because he woke me up.
I'm my sleep on this one. But number one blind
people is very intelligent and smart, especially when it comes
down I'm one of the one percenters, and I'm gonna
answer this one thing when he asks about one of
them pictures bet in the first five inuites, because when
you're zig zag like if if if, if they talk
about in the radio, then it ain't gonna work with
(23:29):
first five innutes.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Then you go oh yeah, yeah, Yeah, that's that's the media.
That's the media, jenks, Right, that's the media. Anytime the
media hypes something up, go the other way.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
Yeah, you see, the best best, all the best bests
don't work, not all of them. But anyways, I ain't
gonna spray. I ain't.
Speaker 8 (23:41):
I ain't gonna spray your hustle though. But anyways, though
I know, well I challenge him or I know it
all blind Scot challenge him or the best three I
know from this.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Is you know what, that's a great idea.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
How about I think what you're you're saying is we
should do a bid for the smartest blind listener to
the show, the one that like the ultimate blind challenge?
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Is that what you're saying?
Speaker 8 (24:08):
Yeah, but they don't even got to be one, you
know what I'm saying, because see, we all got our
different things, like you know, Pitbull put Bill Scott. You
remember I called him one of them two on Scott,
but Scott, I'm feeling him a little bit now, you
know what I'm saying that he's growing on to me.
But blind imit really the smart as one. But we
all got our little waves though.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
But know what about inco terror? Your thoughts on inco terror?
Speaker 4 (24:28):

Twenty nineteen January sixth man, whoa, that's.

That God, come on, No, you're not blind enough yet.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
You're not you're fake blind, You're not.

Now I'm to take that.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Scott, you're blind, Scott's living off the state of Massachusetts,
but you're actually a million dollar guy there, Ben, let
me talk.
Speaker 9 (26:11):
I was going to tell you, do you want to
move to Massachusetts because as a blind person, you haven't
been blind that long. You live in South Carolina. You
would be better off in Boston. But you run this organization,
you said.
Speaker 4 (26:22):
You know, yeah, yeah, yeah, I got it.
Speaker 8 (26:25):
I got a mean over the Zayralford to go to Seattle,

Speaker 2 (27:01):
The difference between cool daddy blind and blind Scott is
you actually want to work.

Scott doesn't know Braill, but I don't know how to
read it. You know, Brail.
Speaker 9 (27:32):
Dude, he's trying to show me up.
Speaker 4 (27:34):

Please call more often.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
I know you know you tomorrow, all right, buddy, we'll
be here. Thank you. No, No, I don't. I don't
need that. Thank you. I'm good on that.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Let's say hello to uh, well, how do you follow
that up? Let's say hello to Peter, who's in so Cow.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
What's going on? Peter? Welcome?
Speaker 10 (28:18):
Oh my god, you did that to me. I got
to follow those guys.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Would you like to go back on hold? They can
put you back on here.
Speaker 10 (28:25):
No, but no, but look, look I'll tell you a
couple of things. Number one. I'm Peter from the South Bay.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Yeah, okay, beautiful sound. But I don't know if everybody every.
Speaker 10 (28:33):
One of you since the mighty six nine.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
Oh my god said the Mighties from Baha to the
Canadian Rockies.
Speaker 10 (28:39):
Baby, hey, you sound just like uh.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
Jesus. I lost his name.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Lee Hamilton Hamilton intern for Lee. He's a radio legend
if you're not familiar those that don't know who he is,
but I was an intern.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
It's San Diego.
Speaker 10 (28:55):
Yeah, I mean, but he had such a style.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
That was like you need and it was perfect for
the era because it was before social media, and he
dominated rumors. He called the Chargers games when they were
in he did, and he briefly called the minus Minnesota Seattle.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
I think it was a Seattle game.
Speaker 10 (29:17):
Yeah, I think so, I think so.
Speaker 4 (29:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Yeah, that's a long number one.
Speaker 10 (29:22):
You know, you know you're my guy. You're like just
about the only show I ever called. And I also
want to say Lorena is not just a tech goddess.
She's also the bumper queen. She has the best bumper music.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
I'm the radio that means as good as all the rest.
The best means is.
Speaker 10 (29:41):
Right right now now. Now you might recognize who I am,
But I have a very weird idea for you, okay,
and that is the NBA third round of draft.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Well, they used to have seven rounds years ago ahead
more than well yeah, I know, I know, but.
Speaker 10 (29:58):
I think that they might. They they should at a
third round back and the third round will be entirely
off the G league.
Speaker 4 (30:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
I don't think that's outrageous. Take. I mean, they made
it a TV show.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
They have the first round on one day now and
they have the second round, and so if you're doing
a TV show, I don't think that's out I think
that makes sense sense.
Speaker 10 (30:20):
Give the third round and you can pick anybody off
of anybody's G league team, and you have to give
them a two way contract.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
But Peter, I like the old days when the NBA
was a mom and pop operation and they'd have like
thir twelve rounds of the draft, and the teams would
be drafting players' relatives in the.
Speaker 10 (30:37):
Yeah, I know I know that old remember, Yeah, But
all right, well.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Listen, Peter, I'm a short on time. I got some
other people on, but I thank you for listening all
these years.
Speaker 4 (30:46):
No, I'll let you go.
Speaker 10 (30:48):
I just wanted to give you.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
All right, well, thank you.
Speaker 10 (30:50):
Here's a weird idea.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
There's not a lot of listeners that remember from my
early days in San Diego, but thank you all right.
And my god, I was terrible at radio. I sucked
and they put me on briefly midnight when so bad.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
So I sucked. So I sucked.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
Now imagine how much I sucked. Then let's say hello
to Alame to loom. Who's all excited?
Speaker 7 (31:12):
The Giants.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
The Giants must have won a game there, the Giants
must have.
Speaker 11 (31:15):
It's great to be back on the show. I have
a I have a few things I want to get through.
I'm gonna be s sinc all right, here we go.
Pete Carroll's a scumbag. That's the first thing I want
to say.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Okay.
Speaker 11 (31:26):
The second thing is blind Scott trying to gate keep
being blind to that nice caller is just the most
absurd blind Scott thing I've ever heard on national radio.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
It is on brand, though, it is on brand for
blind Scott. Who you had you had a famous war
with Blind Scott, yourself, Celtics.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
And Wolf Yeah, yeah, er, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (31:46):
Okay.
Speaker 11 (31:47):
The third thing is the Giants have two inside the
park walk off. Ho runs this here, and I'm curious
to the Mala Militia if any team has ever done that.
Speaker 4 (31:56):
In this ory of the league.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Hmmm. Wow.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
I mean, as much as you know, I'm a big nerd,
I don't. I mean, I don't not could google that
or AI at it.
Speaker 10 (32:04):
It's a good question.
Speaker 9 (32:06):
I don't know.
Speaker 11 (32:06):
I just wanted to offer it.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
Okay, little giant propaganda.
Speaker 11 (32:09):
There, Yeah, I love propaganda.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
You're all excited. You're all excited Giants kicking the Phillies ass.
This makes you happy. You're excited about that.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
I understand.
Speaker 11 (32:18):
I hate Philadelphia and everybody from there.
Speaker 4 (32:20):
So yes, I am.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
It's a nice thing to say.
Speaker 11 (32:22):
Okay, very much, fast, go go duck yourself. Okay. The
last thing I want to make a bet with you
is the criminal Krems. So most Giants teams that have
one World Series really like one another. And the bet
I want to make with you is, if the Giants
(32:42):
win the World Series this year, you commit to come
into Kingfish for a meet and greet in one of
your biggest markets that exists.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
Yeah, in the world.
Speaker 11 (32:52):
Pay for the private room that we have for.
Speaker 4 (32:55):
You and the show.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Oh Okay, so either way, I have to show up.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
I mean it's either like either I'm there and that
we're not in the private room, or we're in the
private room, but we're gonna.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
Be We're going to be there, all right. Yeah, Yeah,
that's fine.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Listen, I want to I would like to get there.
And I know the Super Bowl is going to be
in your area next year early next year.
Speaker 10 (33:17):
It is going to be a Francisco.
Speaker 11 (33:19):

Speaker 2 (33:20):
Yeah, we'll make it happen. Well, I like, I'm on
hole right now. I'm waiting on you know, gig if
all right, all right, go away. I guys, everyone's been

I don't know about you.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
I didn't realize Bill Belichick needed someone to defend him,
but apparently that's the case. I missed out on this.
I must have been taking a nap, bad job by me,
So I don't decided or not. But Ryan Clark, that
blowhard Ryan Clark and part time blowhard Chris Long, the
son of Howie. So they were crying crocodile tears. They
(03:10):
were very upset, very upset. And how the evil media, the.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Media is treating poor old Bill Belichick. Boo hoo hoo,
poor Bill stuck there in Chapel Hill near's Spacoli and
our listener there and coaching the Tar Hills and evil
media man. So Ryan Clark said, a lot of people
(03:35):
have been waiting to beat Bill up because he's always
had the upper.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Hand with the media.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
He said, and right next to him was Chris Long
and nodding his head and agreeing and adding on.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
And the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
So let us discuss the question where are you at
on a couple of ex joks, Ryan Clark and Chris
Long running interference if you will, for North Carolina coach
Bill Belichick. Right, So I got card Shark, COVID and Jackpot,
(04:12):
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are going to hit a moonshot, is what we're
going to hit to the moon, to the moon, not
to lead off.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
So I did chuckle when I saw this one.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Was getting ready during the day and was getting ready
for the show, and I saw these comments go by,
and initially I was like, Okay, I don't who cares.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
I don't really.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Value Ryan Clark's opinion on anything. But then you have
a two for one special. Now you have two for
one special, and I was saying about it, like, ah,
you know, this is so stupid. I'm gonna bring it
up on the show. It's so dumb, and it's it's
like a carnival cruise. We're actually talking about this in
a previous hour, and I'm not talking about the infamous
poop cruise.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
No, this is a cruise to the isle of irony.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
So you've got a couple of former NF players who
are ranting and raving these jamokes about defending Bill Belichick,
and the media is out to Gadam and all this
stuff while getting a big fat check. These two dumb dums.
Let me check my notes here from the media. That's
(05:17):
why they work in the media.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Hello, Yeah, they're not just in the building.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
They're not visiting like Mike the Leprechaun was visiting and
got us in trouble. No, they like hosted little shows
and all that stuff. Let that marinate in your little
undercooked frontal lobe, uh if you will for a second,
like what in the web and what North? So this
is the magic of new media.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Now.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Ryan Clark does old media too, he has television, but
it's new media, the new media landscape where many seem
convinced that while doing media, they're not media. Now we
admit we are in the media, but we are not
the mainstream media. There's a different mainstream media in radio
is six am to six pm. That's where they pay
(06:06):
you good money, they send you on trips, they give
you the complete and total support staff you need, all
that stuff. Overnight it's different, it's a different mmal. So
we're not mainstream on the overnight show. Those morning shows
and afternoon shows, daytime shows, they are mainstream. So that's
what we don't say we're not in the media. We're
obviously in the media. I'm talking to a microphone on
(06:27):
six hundred radio stations right now. Clearly I'm in the
media and the podcast and all. But I always love
these ex jocks that become a media people, and they're like, well,
you know, it's like a card shark.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
It's like a sleight of hand, is what it is.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Like, Well, you know, I'm going to criticize the media
while in the media getting a check.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
From a media company. Dumb d dumb, dumb dumb.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
It's like a chef blaming the restaurant they work at
for the food. Who does that? So Ryan Clark and
this cat along there, Chris Long, they want to have
it both ways. They want the credibility of insider ex
player guy, and they want to be detached from the
(07:15):
media and the outsiders and all that stuff. So unfortunately,
I don't think maybe I'm wrong on this. You can
correct me. I don't think you're canna be both the
arsonist and the fire Marshal. He can't be fire Marshal.
I guess fire Marshall.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Bill, you could maybe do that. But let's not forget
Ryan Clark.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
You remember he dressed up for Halloween as yeah, a little awkward,
dressed up as who me? And oh that's right, Bill Belichick. Yeah,
Bill Belichick. He had the full prosthetic makeup, complete with
the game warn hoodie, the whistle, the whole thing. Which
(07:53):
doesn't seem like someone who's really trying to protect their
football legacy and they're credit Marlin. That sounds like entertainment
to me. That sounds like a shtick. What it sounds
like to me sounds like show business, sounds like I
don't know. Media possibly, So the Belichick story, it's not
(08:15):
unfairly piling on.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
It.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
As we like to say on this show.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
We do broadcasting, not narrowcasting, like we have some losers
that want us to talk about the WNBA. That's narrowcasting.
It's not a broad audience for the WVa. So we
do broadcasting. We talk about stories that have broad appeal.
For example, a legendary football coach who's seventy three years
old dating a fluozy who's forty eight years his senior
(08:40):
or junior. Rather that seems like a story everyone's gossiping about.
Like not to say that some people wouldn't do it
if they had the opportunity, if they had the money
and the means to do it, But it's just people
talk about the sho with Belichick's doing.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
My god, now that girl could be his granddaughter.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
That is a titillating story that gets people buzzing and
people want to talk about it, and that's what you do.
You talk about stories people are interested in. You're supposed
to do that, So if you want to, I'll break
it down a little a little slower for those who
in the back of the room. You slow learners. You
know you are, so when you and this is for
Ryan Clark and mister long there. So when you get
(09:17):
checks to talk about football, you are not the former player.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
You're a current commentator in the media. So there is that,
and you don't.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Get to play the I'm keeping it real card from
the bottom of the deck while sitting under the bright
studio lights and into a very expensive microphone with a
bunch of people promoting your crap. Anyway, I turned the page,
so more TV news that caught my attention. I got
a lot of this is like my therapy. I just
come in here and I just complain.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
So I did see that Fox Television has signed a
sideline reporter Aaron Andrews and podcast pal Carrissa Thompson to
big money contracts for the twenty twenty five NFL season.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
And beyond to the Moon and beyond. So they are
locked up.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
So the question is this a big deal, a little deal,
or no deal. So I have an I think it's
an unpopular opinion. I'll say it anyway. I think it's
no deal. Like who cares?
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Like?
Speaker 2 (10:28):
I don't. I don't get the sideline reporter. I actually
did that job for a college football game in Oklahoma
Nebraska game years ago. They some idiot hired me to
be the sideline reporter. And I did the job. And
it was in Norman, Oklahoma, and a great college football
venues in America, and I love it and I have
great memories of it. And I'm pretty sure you could
(10:50):
have gone to the Oklahoma Zoo there and gotten a
monkey could have done the job.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
I'm just saying. I'm just saying so. And the other
thing I learned this five years ago.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
During the COVID pandemic. We have two categories two of employees.
We have essential and non essential. Now, I was fascinated
that the overnight talk radio host that talks about sports
is essential. But I would I would argue that the
signedline reporter not really essential. Not I don't think so.
(11:27):
They fall into the non essential category. And so let
me ask you a question, just.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Me and you.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
So, have you ever ever tuned into a football game
on a Saturday or a Sunday because of the sideline referre.
Whether it's Aaron Andrews or somebody else, you you have it, right,
you have it, of course not. And you know why
you haven't because nobody does. That's why nobody ever has,
(11:56):
Nobody ever will unless you're related. Friends or family don't count.
Friends and family don't count. It's not must sy TV.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
It's not.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
There's only a few jobs in sports media that are
must like play by play doesn't matter. Tom Brady's commentary
doesn't mean Nobody tunes in whether whatever Tom Brady good
for him getting the money, or Tony Romo or Aikman
or aos.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Guys you tune in if it's a.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Talk show, you tune into here with the person hosting
the show has to say, uh, if it's whatever that was,
it's sports or politics or whatever, you tune into here
what they have to say? Those jobs though, in sportsman
and I love this, I would like to get some
of these jobs because the more irrelevant the role is,
(12:43):
the more inflated the salary is. Ands Jim Nantz famously
would say, it is a tradition unlike any other it
just is you just you know, spend spend, spend, spend, spend,
spend spend.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
It's like, what do you what? Are you just not
really enhancing anything out.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Yeah, I'm not saying that these particular women aren't good
at what they do. If you know that's a skill,
they're able to do it. They've done it for a
long time. But I just only those jobs take much
talent or anything like that. And when I did it,
here's what you do. You're a sideline reporter. You repeat
things that are given to you by a PR person
(13:20):
for the team as you are saying reporting it or production,
meeting the coach and the quarterback, meet with everyone, some
stuff they give to you to say during the broadcast.
Then after the game, whether it's halftime or after the game,
you ask not one, but two softball questions.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
One is always how does it feel.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
I have a buddy of mine that used to be
a big editor or a newspaper and he's retired now
and he will send me messages after every freaking NFL game.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
There's a look good, how do you feel? How did
you feel?
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Yeah, so that's one of the questions now, needless to say.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
And then we move on from that, but they just
it doesn't move the needle again, and they make a
lot of money.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Good for them. They found a hustle. Do the hustle.
But it's not driving ratings. It's it's cotton candy. You
don't really need cotton candy. Maybe you like it fluffy, sugary,
you like that stuff. So I guess it's just you
got to if you're running these networks. It's like you're
you're battling to as our friend from Denver earlier called up,
(14:24):
you get your cigar out and you're just lighting one
hundred dollars bills and one after another and all that stuff.
So it's a star power. I'm convinced. I've got some
friends who are television people. They're better people because they
do TV. And they're like, well, yeah, they have to justify,
you know, spend all the billions of dollars on these
rights packages, and so they have these things called upfronts,
(14:46):
and they have to show advertisers that they're spending a
lot of money on broadcasts, that these are the top broadcasters.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
And all that stuff. So good for them, I guess
you're pouring money into the margins. Get away with it.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
I think you tune in because it's a good game.
And if the game sucks, it doesn't matter who's opening.
You're done, you're out. See you later, all right, now, quickly,
last thing. We go to Viva Las Vegas, where a
guy named Mouthwash Mike used to call the show and
showed up to the famous mallor meet and greet we
(15:21):
did last time in Sin City, and he was toting
a container of mouthwash because that was his drink of choice.
Haven't heard from him in a while, Hope he's all right.
Don't know what happened to him. He's okay on the
streets of Vegas. So how much stock do you put
into Max Crosby defensive star Max Crosby singing the Praises,
(15:44):
a sweet lullaby about how the Raiders.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Culture has changed.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
With Pete Carroll for Pete's sake as the coach in Vegas.
So how much stock?
Speaker 1 (15:54):
This is? A penny? Stock is what this is? Great?
Speaker 2 (16:00):
A lot of pennies, A lot of pennies. Max Rosby
is a blowing smoke. There's so much smoke. It's like
a vape convention. It's like a vape convention in Fresno,
there's a lot of a lot of smoke, a lot
of smoke, and at the same time he's working as
(16:21):
slobber chops for Pete Carroll, creating a culture. It's not
fake energy, Max Crosby said, not fake energy.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Not fake energy? Right, what does that even mean? Do
you know what that means? But not fake energy? What
is he implying that the previous coach had fake energy?
Speaker 4 (16:40):
Is out?
Speaker 1 (16:40):
He's applying with it. I don't know. Got the grit?
What kind of grit?
Speaker 4 (16:44):
Is it?
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Gluten free? Pete Carroll likes, he doesn't like the gluten.
I don't think. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Organic hustle. Maybe it's organic. It's all organic. One of
the great weasel terms of all time. Organic, Yes, wonderful.
All right, so now listen. I like Pete Carroll. I
dealt with him years ago when he coached at University
of Southern California, and Pete's very positive.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Good dude.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
I hope he does well with the Raiders. I also
thought Antonio Pierce would do well with the Raiders. That
turned out to be a debacle. But let's not get
carried away here. Let me decode what Max Crosby meant.
Max got a bag. It was a silver and black bag.
What's in the bag? How about ninety one point five million?
(17:31):
Now that is a jackpot. That is a massive jackpot. Now,
as a direct direct.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Result, there is a correlation.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Causation situation here where suddenly, when you do the docu
sign on one point five million, whoever the coach is
becomes a genius. Whoever the coach has becomes a genius.
The locker room is suddenly a sanctuary. Everyone sits around
and they have a bonfire and they roast marshmallows and
(18:00):
sing Kumbaya and they have a great spiritual awakening.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
They have that. So they've got that going for you.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
And I'm pretty sure that if the Raiders had hired
after Max Crosey got the ninety one million, if they
had hired a sock puppet, brought the sock puppet in
and they gave the sock puppet a whistle because you
know it's a coach. Max Crosby would be at the
dais at the podium.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
And he was, oh, man.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
The culture More team should hire socks They should, well, socko,
what a great coach. Coach soako man, so good. But
if I'm not mistaken Max Crosby. Even before he signed
the contract, he was ride or die with Antonio Piers,
Rider or die Now Antonio Piers died.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Althoughist are getting paid, but yet Max moved on.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
I don't blame He's doing what every smart player does,
protect the brand.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
When you get paid, you're an.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Ambassador for the team, and you got to do that,
and you praise whoever the boss is and he's filling
the blank and the checks keep coming and you're happy
and all that stuff, and you.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Know, pets, good coach.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
I don't think there's a yoga retreat though, going on
in the Raider facility. I think that's going on, and
we will find out when the season starts in September.
We'll find out if Peeko knows what he's doing and
can win with a very average quarterback in Gino Smith
and pretty average players around Gino Smith and a hot
shot rookie running back and a couple of random players
(19:35):
added to the defense for the Raiders.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
It is the Ban Mahlor Show. By the way, this.

(20:02):
from Cincinnati who called up and said blind people should
not have opinions on sports. Now, that's a hot take.
And some other blind people want to fight Jay.
Speaker 1 (20:14):

The average overnight listener has a very limited lexicon. You

at Ben Mahlor, follow Ben at Ben Mahler, Seattle Arena,
FSR Tech Queen and Cooper up Bronco fan. Your comments
cannon will be used against you in the court of
(21:59):
sports radios. So appropriately back to it, Well, we have
a we have an uprising, and uh, good news are
bad news depending on how you look at it. Marcel
cannot get through because the phones are full, So Marcel's upset.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Marcel and Brooklyn is outraged.
Speaker 7 (22:16):
He thinks the.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Phones are broken. They're not broken.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
They're actually working, but the phones are full, so you
can't get through. Sorry about that, Marcel ferg Dog, not
that he listens. Ferg Dog says that Jay guy in Cincinnati,
that was onto something. I would not want to hear
a blind guy breaking down the x's and o's when
they don't even know what an ex or no is.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
I dare you, absolutely, sir.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
The blind wing of the Mallard Militias up in arms
now representing the blind listeners. Let's go now to Cool Daddy,
blind in South Carolina.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Your rebuttal, your rebuttal, sir?
Speaker 4 (22:54):
What's going on? This?
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Is you?
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Hear that voice right there? This sounds like a guy
named cool Daddy, does it not?
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Come on?
Speaker 4 (23:03):
Yeah? That's right, that's right, that's right. This is a
blind man represented though. Man.
Speaker 8 (23:07):
But I gotta say this because he woke me up.
I'm my sleep on this one. But number one blind
people is very intelligent and smart, especially when it comes
down I'm one of the one percenters, and I'm gonna
answer this one thing when he asks about one of
them pictures bet in the first five inuites, because when
you're zig zag like if if if, if they talk
about in the radio, then it ain't gonna work with
(23:29):
first five innutes.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Then you go oh yeah, yeah, Yeah, that's that's the media.
That's the media, jenks, Right, that's the media. Anytime the
media hypes something up, go the other way.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
Yeah, you see, the best best, all the best bests
don't work, not all of them. But anyways, I ain't
gonna spray. I ain't.
Speaker 8 (23:41):
I ain't gonna spray your hustle though. But anyways, though
I know, well I challenge him or I know it
all blind Scot challenge him or the best three I
know from this.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Is you know what, that's a great idea.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
How about I think what you're you're saying is we
should do a bid for the smartest blind listener to
the show, the one that like the ultimate blind challenge?
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Is that what you're saying?
Speaker 8 (24:08):
Yeah, but they don't even got to be one, you
know what I'm saying, because see, we all got our
different things, like you know, Pitbull put Bill Scott. You
remember I called him one of them two on Scott,
but Scott, I'm feeling him a little bit now, you
know what I'm saying that he's growing on to me.
But blind imit really the smart as one. But we
all got our little waves though.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
But know what about inco terror? Your thoughts on inco terror?
Speaker 4 (24:28):
I don't really too much know ink of terror.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Okay, that's a blow. That's a blow to inka terror.
Not familiar with this game. How about Stevie Meatballs he's
on Uh he's in Florida.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
Yeah, I hear Stevie Meatballs. I but you know blind
Scott and emit they they they them to go to guys.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
All right, hold on secure, Well you're gonna talk to
blind Scott. Boy, we're crossing the lines here. We've got
all blind radio Blind Scott saylo to cool daddy blind.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Hey, what's up?
Speaker 4 (24:56):
Cool daddy Blind?
Speaker 9 (24:57):
You ever get a dog or anything? Are you one
one hundred percent blind? What do you have a block
home on?
Speaker 4 (25:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (25:03):
Yeah, full of blind? Now somebody had through accidental faith.
But I heard I heard about what that Cramer. But no,
I ain't finished my commission for the blind and all
that stuff that you know. But I know all the
movements and all that stuff.
Speaker 9 (25:18):
Yeah, they'll pick on you if you don't.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
But by the way, cool cool daddy Blan I like
that you just casually said somebody threw acid in your face.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
I like that you did that. Cool daddy blind. You
just casually toss that out there and just that's it.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Yeah, it's uh, that is amazing thing to just casually
toss out, Hey.
Speaker 9 (25:35):
How old where are you when they threw? How old
were you when you got the acid thrown in your fat?
Speaker 10 (25:39):
Just happened?
Speaker 4 (25:41):
Twenty nineteen January sixth man, whoa, that's.
Speaker 9 (25:44):
Not that, that's why, that's why you're not up. You're
not up to par with the blind community yet.
Speaker 7 (25:49):
That God, come on, No, you're not blind enough yet.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
You're not you're fake blind, You're not.
Speaker 8 (25:57):
No, no, no, it's extreme, no, no no, because I
run a million dollar organization over here and I'm blind.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Now I'm to take that.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Scott, you're blind, Scott's living off the state of Massachusetts,
but you're actually a million dollar guy there, Ben, let
me talk.
Speaker 9 (26:11):
I was going to tell you, do you want to
move to Massachusetts because as a blind person, you haven't
been blind that long. You live in South Carolina. You
would be better off in Boston. But you run this organization,
you said.
Speaker 4 (26:22):
You know, yeah, yeah, yeah, I got it.
Speaker 8 (26:25):
I got a mean over the Zayralford to go to Seattle,

need that. Thank you. I'm good on that.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Let's say hello to uh, well, how do you follow
that up? Let's say hello to Peter, who's in so Cow.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
What's going on? Peter? Welcome?
Speaker 10 (28:18):
Oh my god, you did that to me. I got
to follow those guys.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Would you like to go back on hold? They can
put you back on here.
Speaker 10 (28:25):
No, but no, but look, look I'll tell you a
couple of things. Number one. I'm Peter from the South Bay.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Yeah, okay, beautiful sound. But I don't know if everybody every.
Speaker 10 (28:33):
One of you since the mighty six nine.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
Oh my god said the Mighties from Baha to the
Canadian Rockies.
Speaker 10 (28:39):
Baby, hey, you sound just like uh.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
Jesus. I lost his name.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Lee Hamilton Hamilton intern for Lee. He's a radio legend
if you're not familiar those that don't know who he is,
but I was an intern.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
It's San Diego.
Speaker 10 (28:55):
Yeah, I mean, but he had such a style.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
That was like you need and it was perfect for
the era because it was before social media, and he
dominated rumors. He called the Chargers games when they were
in he did, and he briefly called the minus Minnesota Seattle.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
I think it was a Seattle game.
Speaker 10 (29:17):
Yeah, I think so, I think so.
Speaker 4 (29:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Yeah, that's a long number one.
Speaker 10 (29:22):
You know, you know you're my guy. You're like just
about the only show I ever called. And I also
want to say Lorena is not just a tech goddess.
She's also the bumper queen. She has the best bumper music.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
I'm the radio that means as good as all the rest.
The best means is.
Speaker 10 (29:41):
Right right now now. Now you might recognize who I am,
But I have a very weird idea for you, okay,
and that is the NBA third round of draft.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Well, they used to have seven rounds years ago ahead
more than well yeah, I know, I know, but.
Speaker 10 (29:58):
I think that they might. They they should at a
third round back and the third round will be entirely
off the G league.
Speaker 4 (30:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
I don't think that's outrageous. Take. I mean, they made
it a TV show.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
They have the first round on one day now and
they have the second round, and so if you're doing
a TV show, I don't think that's out I think
that makes sense sense.
Speaker 10 (30:20):
Give the third round and you can pick anybody off
of anybody's G league team, and you have to give
them a two way contract.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
But Peter, I like the old days when the NBA
was a mom and pop operation and they'd have like
thir twelve rounds of the draft, and the teams would
be drafting players' relatives in the.
Speaker 10 (30:37):
Yeah, I know I know that old remember, Yeah, But
all right, well.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Listen, Peter, I'm a short on time. I got some
other people on, but I thank you for listening all
these years.
Speaker 4 (30:46):
No, I'll let you go.
Speaker 10 (30:48):
I just wanted to give you.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
All right, well, thank you.
Speaker 10 (30:50):
Here's a weird idea.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
There's not a lot of listeners that remember from my
early days in San Diego, but thank you all right.
And my god, I was terrible at radio. I sucked
and they put me on briefly midnight when so bad.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
So I sucked. So I sucked.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
Now imagine how much I sucked. Then let's say hello
to Alame to loom. Who's all excited?
Speaker 7 (31:12):
The Giants.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
The Giants must have won a game there, the Giants
must have.
Speaker 11 (31:15):
It's great to be back on the show. I have
a I have a few things I want to get through.
I'm gonna be s sinc all right, here we go.
Pete Carroll's a scumbag. That's the first thing I want
to say.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Okay.
Speaker 11 (31:26):
The second thing is blind Scott trying to gate keep
being blind to that nice caller is just the most
absurd blind Scott thing I've ever heard on national radio.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
It is on brand, though, it is on brand for
blind Scott. Who you had you had a famous war
with Blind Scott, yourself, Celtics.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
And Wolf Yeah, yeah, er, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (31:46):
Okay.
Speaker 11 (31:47):
The third thing is the Giants have two inside the
park walk off. Ho runs this here, and I'm curious
to the Mala Militia if any team has ever done that.
Speaker 4 (31:56):
In this ory of the league.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Hmmm. Wow.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
I mean, as much as you know, I'm a big nerd,
I don't. I mean, I don't not could google that
or AI at it.
Speaker 10 (32:04):
It's a good question.
Speaker 9 (32:06):
I don't know.
Speaker 11 (32:06):
I just wanted to offer it.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
Okay, little giant propaganda.
Speaker 11 (32:09):
There, Yeah, I love propaganda.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
You're all excited. You're all excited Giants kicking the Phillies ass.
This makes you happy. You're excited about that.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
I understand.
Speaker 11 (32:18):
I hate Philadelphia and everybody from there.
Speaker 4 (32:20):
So yes, I am.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
It's a nice thing to say.
Speaker 11 (32:22):
Okay, very much, fast, go go duck yourself. Okay. The
last thing I want to make a bet with you
is the criminal Krems. So most Giants teams that have
one World Series really like one another. And the bet
I want to make with you is, if the Giants
(32:42):
win the World Series this year, you commit to come
into Kingfish for a meet and greet in one of
your biggest markets that exists.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
Yeah, in the world.
Speaker 11 (32:52):
Pay for the private room that we have for.
Speaker 4 (32:55):
You and the show.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Oh Okay, so either way, I have to show up.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
I mean it's either like either I'm there and that
we're not in the private room, or we're in the
private room, but we're gonna.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
Be We're going to be there, all right. Yeah, Yeah,
that's fine.

in your area next year early next year.
Speaker 10 (33:17):
It is going to be a Francisco.
Speaker 11 (33:19):

Speaker 2 (33:20):
Yeah, we'll make it happen. Well, I like, I'm on
hole right now. I'm waiting on you know, gig if
all right, all right, go away. I guys, everyone's been
emailing me and all this crap, and I I can't.

being a terror in itself is in seeing blind Scott
