Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our name, Bear Fall our four.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Of the radio show.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
It's an NFL grab bag, retired quarterback Michael Vick saying
recently that Andy Reid might be that's weasel termology, might
be the greatest coach of all time over the Patriots,
Bill Belicheck, Are.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
You with him on this? Also?
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Why did the NFL blame the Chiefs and Eagles players
for the slipping slide that took place back at the
Super Bowl in Arizona. Also, we're way ahead of the
NFL draft. We have to get through the next season.
But Marvin Harrison, junior of the Ohio State Universities being
hyped as pushing Caleb Williams to be the number one
(00:50):
pick in the twenty twenty four NFL draft as a
wide receiver. Does that even make sense? We'll talk about
that and more right now here. It is our number four,
A ringing endorsement. Welcome in the beginning of another hour
(01:11):
of the Ben Mather Show, Hanging out with you on
the fourth of July. As we are in the air everywhere, chirping, chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp.
As we are resourceful coast to coast, border, the border
and beyond on the mast and hillatiously powerful microphones of
(01:33):
fsre emanating live from the factory, the factory of fireworks.
We are broadcasting live from the tyraq dot com studios.

(01:58):
We are glad you have chosen to spend time with
us on the radio here hanging out on the fourth
of July at a time when most people are not awake,
but our lead this hour coming from the NFL. We
are two weeks away from the start of training camp,
and that means we're two weeks away from players.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Start falling apart.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
They start self imploding on the field there, and the
injuries start piling up and all that. But shortly after
that the exhibition games will begin in the NFL, and
then more players will get hurt, and the beat goes
on and on and on. Before we can blink, it'll
be real football in early September in the NFL.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
With that being in the near.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Future, in the present, which is not the near future,
it's the present which is going right.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Now.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
We've got Michael Vick. Remember him? Maybe you don't remember
Michael Vick. It's been a while since he played in
the NFL. He's a notorious figure in pro football. Well,
Michael Vick has made some comments that popped up on
our sonar and if you didn't hear what he had
to say, maybe not. He's filming the Content Kitty on
(03:09):
the fourth of July and we thank him for that.
Michael Vick has declared that Chiefs coach Andy Reid big Red,
he says, might be the greatest of all time, passing
Bill Belichick by holy blasphemy, Batman. Now that's a hot take.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Now.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Michael Vick's comments coming during a interview he did on.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
The Tyreek Hill podcast. Even Tyreek Hills got a podcast?
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Does he give tips on how to slap people that
work at boats?
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Is that on his podcast? I don't know. I'd have
to listen to find out what's on the podcast.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Anyway, So Tyreek Kills apparently got a podcast at why
because everyone's got one, even I have one? And his
fledgling podcast and Vic praised Andy Reid and his coaching
acumen and consistently consistency as a coach throughout his career.
Vic played under Andy Reid in Philadelphia. He said he
(04:13):
might be the greatest coach of all time. You don't
have to win as many championships to be considered, according
to Vic. Now, Vic acknowledged the dominance of Tom Brady
and Bill Belichick together. He also pointed out that Andy
Reid was able to have success in Philadelphia and also
(04:34):
in Kansas City, whereas Bill Belichick only tasted success with
the Patriots and once Tom Brady's Skidada Loft to hang
out with Ponce Delli Owen in Florida. That was all
she wrote for the success of Bill Belichick. That's what
That's what they said.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
His argument for Andy Reid is that Big Red had
multiple quarterbacks that he succeeded with, while Belichick has only
succeeded with one quarterback.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
In Tom Brady. So let us discuss.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Let us discuss Michael Vick saying that Andy Reid might
be the greatest coach of all time over Bill Belichick.
Are you with him on this? Are you in or
out on this? So I am out on this. I'm
not in with Michael Vick on this particular take. I've
got ven Diagram, Janet Jackson, and Iceberg, and we will
(05:28):
combine all of these things together and we are going
to make a nice puppy farm, which I'm sure Michael
Vick knows a thing or two about puppies. All right,
So first of all, we'll kick off with is Michael
Vick used weasel terminology?
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Might be right?
Speaker 1 (05:46):
I might be the greatest talk show host of all time.
I'm not, but I might be if you listen to
no one else.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
I am the.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Greatest talk show host of all time. I do appreciate
Michael Vick for his fresh take, So thank you Michael
for that. He is a what's known in the legal
system as a compromised witness. Methinks he's a wee bit
too close to the situation. Michael Vick does admit he
has bias. That Andy Reid was the coach that helped
rehabilitate Michael Vick after he returned from Levenworth Penitentiary in Kansas.
(06:21):
And if you were listening to this show when Michael
Vick was in prison, you might remember that he had
We had a listener from Chicago named Doc Mike, who
was convinced that Michael Vick needed to see Doc. So
Doc drove from Chicago to Levenworth, Kansas and sat outside
(06:46):
the prison trying to get a meeting with Michael Vick.
He called our show every night. It spent about a week,
if I remember correctly, in Kansas. Shockingly, Michael Vick did
not want to meet with him. I don't know why.
I have no idea. That's why the best decision Michael
Vick ever made. But so Andy Reid listening. The point
is this, Andy Reid and Michael Vick have a kinship.
(07:09):
There's a bond there and side by side though Andy
Reid and Bill Belichick are really in similar screenplays, and
let me explain why. And he said, well, Andy Reid's
a better coach overall because he's had continued competitive football
teams with the rare and appropriate off year, where Belichick
(07:30):
has not been able to do that. But when you
look at the ven diagram, they're parallel stories, but they're
not lineal linear stories. They're parallel, but they're not linear.
So what I mean by that there's dramatic irony in
the fact that each of them has won Super Bowls.
Belichick and Andy Reid with generational quarterbacks Andy Reid. I'm
(07:54):
old enough to remember when Andy Reid was compared to
coaches like Dan Reeves and Marv Levy and even Jeff Fisher,
coaches that had gotten to the Super Bowl not won
the Super Bowl, had good teams quite a bit, had
competitive teams, and they did not win. It was not
(08:14):
until a confab between Mahomes and Andy Reid that Andy
found casa blanca. And it was only after that and
similar you could make the same argument. This is how
these are the irony of the ven diagram. And when
you look at Belichick with Tom Brady, Belichick had a
mediocre record in Cleveland. His argument was the Browns owner
(08:38):
at the time, this evil guy, Art Modell, was moving
the team to Baltimore, and so he was undermined by ownership.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
And maybe that's true, maybe it's not.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
But Bill Belichick has a losing record in his career
in games started by anyone other than Tom Brady. In fact,
he's nine games under five hundred since Brady left the Patriots.
The Patriots are a five hundred team now. Regardless of that, remember,
Andy Reid also was mocked and ridiculed as a guy
(09:07):
who couldn't get over the hump. And it wasn't until
Patrick Mahomes came along that that changed. Now, furthermore, we're
gonna move away from Andy Reid here because there's other
stuff that caught my attention in the NFL and the
Super Bowl back in February in the Valley of the
Sun still has some legs here, players from the Chiefs
(09:28):
and the Eagles. You might remember, they criticize the playing surface.
They did not appreciate the field, which was a slipping slide.
They wanted actual traction on the field.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
How dare them?
Speaker 1 (09:40):
And so this is a story back in February. Here
we are in July. It's America's birthday July fourth. Why
are we talking about.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
This right now? So I me explain.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
So they complained about Super Bowl fifty seven the field.
Now we're told the NFL has decided they know the
reason that the field was a slipping slide and they've
placed the blame on the players for not wearing the
right shoes. That the players did not wear the right shoes. Now,
(10:10):
keep in mind some players on the Eagles and the
Chiefs talked about how they changed shoes. In fact, some
players on the Eagles even said that, and I think
this was well publicized. We talked about it. They changed
cleats a lot of the players at halftime because they
were not doing particularly well with.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
The footing at the Super Bowl. And also you've got
the Sodfather.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
My favorite part of this little chapter in NFL history
is George Toma, at age ninety four, who came out
like a buzzsaw and ripped the NFL's current field director,
Ed Mangen I believe is the guy's name, and George
Tooma said that the NFL did not allow the field
(10:53):
to dry enough outside after it was last watered.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
He blamed that. He also said the field sanded two
weeks too late.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
According to George Toma, who had been involved in every
Super Bowl overseeing that now he's too old, and now
that he's ripped the NFL, he'll never be invited back
because you don't cross the Godfather, Roger Goodell. Even though
you are the Sodfather, you can't mess with the Godfather
of the NFL. And so the NFL, though, said, ultimately
(11:27):
the field past inspection and they deemed it good enough
to play. So why did the NFL now come out
on this random July Day and blame the Chiefs and
the Eagle players for slipping at the Super Bowl, saying
it was their problem. So it's like Janet Jackson, that's
the way love goes, right. It's a wardrobe malfunction, the
(11:49):
most famous nip slip in the history of the world.
There Janet Jackson back in the day. There and the
NFL blaming the wardrobe malfunction, and it's no accountability Park Avenue.
I wandered past the NFL offices there in Manhattan when
I was there last week, and there's no accountability and
(12:10):
they're serving up alphabet soup. It's kind of like boxing.
But the NFL they like the CYA and the PTB
as in, cover.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Your ass and pass the blame. That's what they like.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Remember, NFL films even showed the production arm of the
NFL showed the coaches officials of the NFL complaining about
the footing players during the game, and the NFL's like, no.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
No, it's your fault. You screwed up.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Bad job by you, all right, last and final thing here,
we are light years away from the twenty twenty four
NFL Draft. We are far far away from that. But
it's never too early to get in on the buzz,
and there's already some buzz for this. We have to
get through the college football season, the NFL season and
all that. But I was reading a report because I
got no life, and the report said, at one NFL
(13:02):
general manager claims Marvin Harrison Junior from the Ohio State
University the Buckeyes dot the I that Marvin Harrison Junior
could that's a weasel word, could wind up being the
first player drafted in twenty twenty four. That's kind of
a big deal. The GM said. We haven't had a
(13:22):
wide receiver drafted first overall since Keishawn, but Harrison could
push that even in a draft with Caleb Williams, the
University of Southern California quarterback. Now, the general manager did
not sign his name, did not sign his name to this.
So the question Marvin Harrison Junior being hyped up as
(13:43):
a possible number one overall pick ahead of Caleb Williams
from the Men of Troy in the twenty twenty four
NFL draft. So does that make any sense? Yes, it
makes nonsense, is what it makes. That's the sense that
it makes nonsense. So I'm shaking my head no on
(14:06):
this one. It has been twenty seven years. That's a
generation since the NFL had a wide receiver go number
one overall.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
That was Keishawn Johnson.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
And the only way Caleb Williams is not the number
one pick in the NFL draft is if he hits
an iceberg and sinks to the bottom of the ocean
like the Titanic. Right, That's the only way people forget
the reason that Kishan Johnson was the number one pick.
There were no quarterbacks in that raft. You know who
(14:37):
the first quarterback drafted was? No, you don't, because you're
a loser if you know that. And I looked it
up and I didn't know it either. In nineteen ninety six,
when Kishean was drafted number one by the Jets, the
first quarterback picked was a guy named Tony Banks. He
needed the government to bail him out. He was drafted
by the Saint Louis Rams in the second round. There
(14:58):
were no quarterbacks picked in the first round, and I
will Garrion f and t you if there had been
one halfway decent quarterback that was greater at a first
round pick, jee Shawn Johnson would not have been drafted
number one overall and and so that's just that's the
reality of the situation. And so this guy Kayleb Williams,
NFL marketings hyping him up. He's Patrick Mahomes two point zero.
(15:20):
Of course, the NFL didn't even know that Patrick Mahlmes
was gonna be that good. That's why he was not
drafted as the first of the second quarterback in that draft.
And when he was drafted by Kansas City, people like, oh, wait,
what are they.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Doing and what is it?
Speaker 1 (15:32):
That's a reach by Andy Reid and all that. Well,
it didn't work out that way. And I would say
there's a better chance of Marvin Harrison not being drafted
number two than being drafted number one, because Kayleb Williams
gonna be number one unless he gets hurt or arrested
or you know, sinks to the bottom of the ocean.
And then you've got some other quarterbacks that are fringe
first round quarterbacks if you look at the projections, like
(15:55):
Drake May of North Carolina and Quinn Ewer are Ooters
of Texas.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
So those are some other quarterbacks. It is the Bane
Mather Show. As we continue on.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
If you want to be part of this eight seven
seven ninety nine on Fox, and it's a big day.
My favorite sporting event of the year is going to
go on today, Joey Chestnut, Who's going to set a
new record.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
He's getting old though.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Joe interview Joey last year, Joey chest nutt he talked
about the aging process and he's trying to He's trying
to kick back on father Time, right, trying to push
back on that and continue his dominance there as he
is the all time goat of.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Eating, the greatest eater that ever lived.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
And that will be going on today and I'll actually
have him on the podcast this weekend. I know Joey's
excited about that. He's actually more excited Joey Chestnut about
being on the Fifth Hour podcast with me than he
is in the Nathan's Hot Dog Contest there on Coney Island,
just down the street from Marcel in Brooklyn. Eight seven
seven ninety nine on Fox. Also the Nickname Game. Now,
(16:59):
there have been some great play with nicknames in the NFL,
but we got one to add this. I hope this
guy's a star. He's not in the NFL yet, but
this guy's got one of the great nicknames of all time.
We'll get to that. We will do it next.
Speaker 4 (17:14):

Speaker 3 (18:34):
Well.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
A sport we don't often talk about. Really a bad
job by us. I think we should talk more WNBA.
Have you read the only time we talk about the
WNBA is one of one of their players says they
hate America.
Speaker 5 (18:46):
You know, does anyone in the WNBN like him when
they get arrested in Russia?
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Well after saying they hate America, there's apparently someone named
Natasha Cloud. Eddie, you're my WNBA guy. You ever heard
of Natasha Cloud?
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (19:00):
No, that was Raider Ryan when he was here, was
r WNBA guy.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Patrick? You a big WNBA fan over there, Patrick, No, No,
you're not. You're not all right.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
So apparently last week someone named Natasha Cloud, who is
apparently a WNBA star. Can you be a star in
the WNBA if no one watches, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Maybe she is a star.
Speaker 5 (19:22):
I mean, I'm sure she's on ESPN all the time.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
I yes, yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Anyway, she apparently went viral last week when I was
away from my watch post. She ripped the United States,
and she was very upset. She says, our country is
trash in so many ways. She said she was upset
with the Supreme Court ruling last week on college admissions,
and of course then after that number of people she
(19:51):
had responses. She didn't back down. She doubled down on
her comments. And he says, also, I need y'all to
come up with something better than moved to Russia or China.
As people were asking her to leave. I mean, she
said she would love to leave the country. And all
these people that say they'd love to leave the country,
(20:11):
none of them do.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
None of them. They don't leave at all. Well enis
cantor Ennis can't remember. He used to be an NBA player,
and I do remember.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Became like a political guy, and then the NBA said,
you don't really fit our political agenda, so we're getting
rid of you. And so he's not been invited back.
But he changed his name to Freedom Enniscanter to Ennis Freedom.
He became a US citizen and it makes his way
around the political talk shows if you're into that kind
of thing. So he has now decided to offer Natasha
(20:45):
Cloud a one way ticket to China. Russia or North
Korea because she hates the United States so much. He said,
just ask your colleague, Brittany Griner, how trash America is.
He Then he said, let me know when your season
is over, I'll buy your ticket. We can go together
(21:07):
to count to counties or countries rather like China, Russia, Iran,
North Korea, Venezuela, Cuba, and Turkey. So can you even
get a plane flight to North Korea?
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Though I don't know.
Speaker 5 (21:21):
I'm pretty sure that is. I'm pretty sure that's not
the case.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
So he's lying on that. What about Iran? Maybe?
Speaker 5 (21:30):
No, I think they're very selective. I'll put it that way.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Russia they'll let you in, but they might it's like
the Hotel California, and I might not be able to leave,
you know, keep you around. China? Any interest in going
to Chinay?
Speaker 5 (21:44):
I actually thought about it a few years ago. The
LA Kings played pre season games over there, and they
were kind of offering some like some packages to go,
and I haven't thought about it. I thought about it,
but did not.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Go go over there, buy a bunch of jerseys and
stuff on the cheap and no, no, take an extra
suitcase filled up with merchandise, official merchandise which is made
in China and then marked up by eight thousand percent.
So anyway, I do not believe that Natasha Cloud has
taken up Enus Canter Freedom whatever his name is, to
(22:20):
go to any of those countries.
Speaker 5 (22:22):
So there you go. And as a matter of fact,
of course, if she would say those things in other countries,
she would be thrown in jail.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
But who is the like the demographic for like? Is
this good marketing for the WNBA we're talking about it?
So how's that work among some?
Speaker 5 (22:38):
I guess yeah, I guess some.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Any publicity is good publicity.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Let's celebrate the fourth of July and have one of
our players talk about how trash America is.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
That's the way, though I don't know. I actually love
this country still, so I don't know.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Maybe I'm in the minority on that, but I don't
think I am. Actually I think I'm in the majority.
It is the Bain Malors Show. We'll take some calls
coming up here, I promise. Eight seven seven ninety nine
on Fox is the number. And also later this hour
site the Bite, we'll get to that nickname game as well.
And what a welcome back we had to quite the one.
(23:12):
I maybe I'll do that as my fun fact to
the bottom of the hour. But right now, let's get
you caught up on everything going on in the overnight.
And right over there we say hello to Steamboat Willie
Eddie Garcia.
Speaker 5 (23:23):
All right, thank you, Ben. We start with Major League
Baseball games of no where. The Braves are now thirty
games over five hundred. That's not bad. Fifty seven and
twenty seven on the season. That is the best record
in all of baseball. They run their winning streak to
nine in a row with the four to two went
over the Guardians. Michael Harris the second hit, a couple
of homers, and Ronald Lacuno Junior, who will see in
the All Star Game coming up. I had a stolen base.
(23:44):
Why is that important? Well, he's the first player in
Major League history before the All Star Break to have
twenty homers, forty steals, and fifty RBI in the first
half of the season. Twins beat the Royals eight to four,
Minnesota regaining sole possession of first place in the Al Central.
They are a game up on Cleveland Red's get by
the Nationals three two. It was the Brewers rallying down
six nothing to beat the Cubs eight to six, so
(24:05):
Milwaukee and Cincinnati remained tied for the top spot in
the NL Central. We had a slugfest in Arlington between
the Rangers and the Astros, and that brings us to
our Progressive play of the day.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Three two again Ed Tucker hits it in the air
and hits it. Take a right faith and you can't
kiss it. Goodbye. Hey, great slam for Kyle Tucker. Had
the Astros lead it six to nothing.
Speaker 5 (24:29):
Seven ninety k BM e Astros Radio on the call.
Of course, that was just the start of things six
nothing for Houston, but they ended up holding on forre
twelve to eleven win. But that Kyle Tucker grand slam
our aggressive player of the day game. H Yeah, I
should have done that. If you'd like to do that
kind of thing. Progressive making things even easier. They'll help
(24:50):
you bundle your home and car trips together so you
can save up both. Learn more at Progressive dot com
or call one eight hundred Progressive. As for the Rangers,
with that loss to the Astros, their lead in the
ALS now down to three. On Houston Potters beat the
Angels ten to three in the loss for the Halos.
They may have had a bigger loss with Mike Trout
leaving in the eighth inning after fouling off a pitch
(25:11):
suffered some sort of an injury in his wrist. I
was examined after the game, taken out of the game
and had X rays. But we haven't heard what the
extent of that's going to be.
Speaker 7 (25:20):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (25:20):
The Orioles lose to the Yankees is that the ambulance.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
The music stopped. The ambulance came in and they stopped
the music. What happened? Rood of them to do that?
Speaker 5 (25:31):
The Yankees beat the Orioles six to three. New York
started dimgo Herman, you might remember, at a perfect game
in his last outing, not so perfect in this one.
Four to third innings, two runs, nine heads. He gets
a no decision. Dodgers beat the Pirates all star pitcher
of Mitch Keller five to the final. Meanwhile, LA put
their all star pitcher Clayton Kershaw on the injured list.
He will miss the All Star Game. By the way,
(25:51):
congrats to your boy. Dave Roberts gets his seven hundred
win as a manager.
Speaker 6 (25:55):
I really.
Speaker 5 (26:00):
You love them.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
I take Tommy Lasorda back even though he's dead. I'd
take him back right now.
Speaker 5 (26:04):
At well, that would be a little weekend Saturday's there
on the bench.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
I'd rather have him.
Speaker 5 (26:08):
Marlins beat the Cardinals five to four, Mariners over the
Giant six to five, and the NBA, the Minnesota Timberwolves
and All Star Anthony Edwards agree in a five year
max extension worth up to two hundred and sixty million dollars.
Day one at Wimbledon, of course tennis, your winners of
note included the men's number two seed Novak Djokovic and
the women's number one seed Nga swon Tech. She is
from Poland, Americans Cocoa Goff and Venus Williams. They're out
(26:32):
after the first round. Day two coming up in just
a few hours here at Wimbledon, and now back to
Ben malerinthtyrac dot Com, Fox Sports.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
Well, what a what a welcome back in Major League Baseball.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
The Orioles were playing the Yankees in the Bronx, as
they often do, being American League East rivals, and that
meant that Aaron Hicks, who was fired by the Yankees,
returned to the Bronx for the first time since being
let go and joining the Orioles. So the Yankees thought,
since Aaron Hicks had been there a long time, they
(27:04):
would play a nice little video, a vignad of some
of the big moments that Aaron Hicks had. Of course,
the video was probably about ten seconds long. But they
played the video on the scoreboard there at Yankee Stadium
to celebrate Aaron Hicks.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
And what do you think the Yankee fans did?
Speaker 1 (27:20):
Boom boo Oh yeah, it was a bootastic, a bootastic situation.
There booze here, there and everywhere, and Aaron Hicks every
at bat the booze got louder and louder and louder.
So he was welcome back in the typical Yankee way.
Speaker 7 (27:40):
There.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
And there's a guy that does deserve to get boot
He's stunk. And my new favorite nickname I had heard
about this guy, forgotten about him. Came up on the
show about a year ago. And I think it was
about a year AGO's name popped up on the show.
He's got one of the great nicknames. Now, the top
nicknames in the NFL the last twenty years are ha Ha,
Clinton Dix and Sauce Gardner. Those are the top two niggas.
(28:04):
But this guy's right up there, and he's a defensive
back as well. Yeah, have you heard you know who
this kid Alabama is Eddie that's projected as an NFL player.
Speaker 5 (28:15):
I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
His name, Eddie is kool Aid McKinstry. How great is that?
Speaker 1 (28:24):
That's that's a great nickname. Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, absolutely,
And this guy's projected as one of the you know,
an NFL player, I actually go to Alabama, you're projected
to be an NFL player. But they're hyping this guy
up as the top defensive back in the country. So
I was wondering, how did he get the nickname? It's
(28:45):
a very odd nickname to be named kool Aid McKinstry,
and it's not legal name. His real name is Jack
Quincy McKinstry. But as a kid, this is great. This
is why we love grandmothers. Right after he was born,
his grandma, his grandmama looked at him and saw the
kid smiling and said, this kid looks like the kool.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
Aid man, And there you go. Isn't the rest is history?
Speaker 7 (29:12):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (29:13):
Well, haha.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Clinton Dix got the nickname because he got hurt and
he was laughing. Wasn't that how he got the nickname
as a kid. He got injured and he's like laughing,
and so they go, haha, that was his nickname. How
did sauce Gardner get his nickname?
Speaker 5 (29:27):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
Barbecue sauce, honey mustard, sauce, ketchup sauce, I don't know.
All right, let's say hello to Let's say hello to
Angry Bill. See how long he stays on the air
before we have to hang up on him. Hello, Angry
Bill in Jacksonville.
Speaker 7 (29:43):
How you doing, gentlemen? This thing with Roberto's been bothering me.
You have a guy who was doing a great job,
and he obviously loved what he was doing, and all
of a sudden, he's gone like the wind, like the
wind blew to trees away. There's only one thing that
stops a man from doing what he loves, doing a
great job what he's doing, and that's a woman. I
(30:05):
guarantee you. His wife said, I want you home to night.
I want no more to being out at night job
or whatever it is. And that's what happened to Roberto.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
So that's your that's your conspiracy theory that he left.
Speaker 7 (30:19):
He left not telling anybody anything. He left.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
We kind of. Eddie basically said he was leaving on
the airs. He did Eddie, Eddie said, Eddie did an interview.
Speaker 5 (30:29):
On the podcast what was gonna do?
Speaker 7 (30:31):
What I'm saying, I'm saying he left because of the wait, do.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
You ripped him when he was here? Now that he's
not here, you're upset that he's.
Speaker 7 (30:38):
Not here, And well, I was part of the skid ripping.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Come on, man, Oh I didn't realize it. I'm sorry.
I did not see the writing. I apologize a great
job of what he was doing, and he loved it.
Speaker 7 (30:48):
You can tell he was putting his heart into it
when he did his job. And all of a sudden
he's gone. And he didn't give a great explanation why.
And it's because of his wife. I want you home
at night.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
He didn't say that, but I'm sure that was a factor.
You know, that's what happens when you're married.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Angry Bill.
Speaker 7 (31:05):
It was it. And let me tell you, I'm not
saying she could be a beautiful woman, nice woman and
everything else. But anytime a woman does that to a
guy and cuts his Kadani's off, okay and does what
she did?

Hello and welcome. It's our name, Bear Fall our four.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Of the radio show.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
It's an NFL grab bag, retired quarterback Michael Vick saying
recently that Andy Reid might be that's weasel termology, might
be the greatest coach of all time over the Patriots,
Bill Belicheck, Are.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
You with him on this? Also?
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Why did the NFL blame the Chiefs and Eagles players
for the slipping slide that took place back at the
Super Bowl in Arizona. Also, we're way ahead of the
NFL draft. We have to get through the next season.
But Marvin Harrison, junior of the Ohio State Universities being
hyped as pushing Caleb Williams to be the number one
(00:50):
pick in the twenty twenty four NFL draft as a
wide receiver. Does that even make sense? We'll talk about
that and more right now here. It is our number four,
A ringing endorsement. Welcome in the beginning of another hour
(01:11):
of the Ben Mather Show, Hanging out with you on
the fourth of July. As we are in the air everywhere, chirping, chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp.
As we are resourceful coast to coast, border, the border
and beyond on the mast and hillatiously powerful microphones of
(01:33):
fsre emanating live from the factory, the factory of fireworks.
We are broadcasting live from the tyraq dot com studios.
Tyraq dot com will help you get there and unmatched selection, fast,
free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand
recommended installers. Tyraq dot com the way tire buying should be.
(01:58):
We are glad you have chosen to spend time with
us on the radio here hanging out on the fourth
of July at a time when most people are not awake,
but our lead this hour coming from the NFL. We
are two weeks away from the start of training camp,
and that means we're two weeks away from players.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Start falling apart.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
They start self imploding on the field there, and the
injuries start piling up and all that. But shortly after
that the exhibition games will begin in the NFL, and
then more players will get hurt, and the beat goes
on and on and on. Before we can blink, it'll
be real football in early September in the NFL.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
With that being in the near.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Future, in the present, which is not the near future,
it's the present which is going right.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Now.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
We've got Michael Vick. Remember him? Maybe you don't remember
Michael Vick. It's been a while since he played in
the NFL. He's a notorious figure in pro football. Well,
Michael Vick has made some comments that popped up on
our sonar and if you didn't hear what he had
to say, maybe not. He's filming the Content Kitty on
(03:09):
the fourth of July and we thank him for that.
Michael Vick has declared that Chiefs coach Andy Reid big Red,
he says, might be the greatest of all time, passing
Bill Belichick by holy blasphemy, Batman. Now that's a hot take.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Now.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Michael Vick's comments coming during a interview he did on.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
The Tyreek Hill podcast. Even Tyreek Hills got a podcast?
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Does he give tips on how to slap people that
work at boats?
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Is that on his podcast? I don't know. I'd have
to listen to find out what's on the podcast.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Anyway, So Tyreek Kills apparently got a podcast at why
because everyone's got one, even I have one? And his
fledgling podcast and Vic praised Andy Reid and his coaching
acumen and consistently consistency as a coach throughout his career.
Vic played under Andy Reid in Philadelphia. He said he
(04:13):
might be the greatest coach of all time. You don't
have to win as many championships to be considered, according
to Vic. Now, Vic acknowledged the dominance of Tom Brady
and Bill Belichick together. He also pointed out that Andy
Reid was able to have success in Philadelphia and also
(04:34):
in Kansas City, whereas Bill Belichick only tasted success with
the Patriots and once Tom Brady's Skidada Loft to hang
out with Ponce Delli Owen in Florida. That was all
she wrote for the success of Bill Belichick. That's what
That's what they said.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
His argument for Andy Reid is that Big Red had
multiple quarterbacks that he succeeded with, while Belichick has only
succeeded with one quarterback.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
In Tom Brady. So let us discuss.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Let us discuss Michael Vick saying that Andy Reid might
be the greatest coach of all time over Bill Belichick.
Are you with him on this? Are you in or
out on this? So I am out on this. I'm
not in with Michael Vick on this particular take. I've
got ven Diagram, Janet Jackson, and Iceberg, and we will
(05:28):
combine all of these things together and we are going
to make a nice puppy farm, which I'm sure Michael
Vick knows a thing or two about puppies. All right,
So first of all, we'll kick off with is Michael
Vick used weasel terminology?
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Might be right?
Speaker 1 (05:46):
I might be the greatest talk show host of all time.
I'm not, but I might be if you listen to
no one else.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
I am the.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Greatest talk show host of all time. I do appreciate
Michael Vick for his fresh take, So thank you Michael
for that. He is a what's known in the legal
system as a compromised witness. Methinks he's a wee bit
too close to the situation. Michael Vick does admit he
has bias. That Andy Reid was the coach that helped
rehabilitate Michael Vick after he returned from Levenworth Penitentiary in Kansas.
(06:21):
And if you were listening to this show when Michael
Vick was in prison, you might remember that he had
We had a listener from Chicago named Doc Mike, who
was convinced that Michael Vick needed to see Doc. So
Doc drove from Chicago to Levenworth, Kansas and sat outside
(06:46):
the prison trying to get a meeting with Michael Vick.
He called our show every night. It spent about a week,
if I remember correctly, in Kansas. Shockingly, Michael Vick did
not want to meet with him. I don't know why.
I have no idea. That's why the best decision Michael
Vick ever made. But so Andy Reid listening. The point
is this, Andy Reid and Michael Vick have a kinship.
(07:09):
There's a bond there and side by side though Andy
Reid and Bill Belichick are really in similar screenplays, and
let me explain why. And he said, well, Andy Reid's
a better coach overall because he's had continued competitive football
teams with the rare and appropriate off year, where Belichick
(07:30):
has not been able to do that. But when you
look at the ven diagram, they're parallel stories, but they're
not lineal linear stories. They're parallel, but they're not linear.
So what I mean by that there's dramatic irony in
the fact that each of them has won Super Bowls.
Belichick and Andy Reid with generational quarterbacks Andy Reid. I'm
(07:54):
old enough to remember when Andy Reid was compared to
coaches like Dan Reeves and Marv Levy and even Jeff Fisher,
coaches that had gotten to the Super Bowl not won
the Super Bowl, had good teams quite a bit, had
competitive teams, and they did not win. It was not
(08:14):
until a confab between Mahomes and Andy Reid that Andy
found casa blanca. And it was only after that and
similar you could make the same argument. This is how
these are the irony of the ven diagram. And when
you look at Belichick with Tom Brady, Belichick had a
mediocre record in Cleveland. His argument was the Browns owner
(08:38):
at the time, this evil guy, Art Modell, was moving
the team to Baltimore, and so he was undermined by ownership.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
And maybe that's true, maybe it's not.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
But Bill Belichick has a losing record in his career
in games started by anyone other than Tom Brady. In fact,
he's nine games under five hundred since Brady left the Patriots.
The Patriots are a five hundred team now. Regardless of that, remember,
Andy Reid also was mocked and ridiculed as a guy
(09:07):
who couldn't get over the hump. And it wasn't until
Patrick Mahomes came along that that changed. Now, furthermore, we're
gonna move away from Andy Reid here because there's other
stuff that caught my attention in the NFL and the
Super Bowl back in February in the Valley of the
Sun still has some legs here, players from the Chiefs
(09:28):
and the Eagles. You might remember, they criticize the playing surface.
They did not appreciate the field, which was a slipping slide.
They wanted actual traction on the field.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
How dare them?
Speaker 1 (09:40):
And so this is a story back in February. Here
we are in July. It's America's birthday July fourth. Why
are we talking about.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
This right now? So I me explain.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
So they complained about Super Bowl fifty seven the field.
Now we're told the NFL has decided they know the
reason that the field was a slipping slide and they've
placed the blame on the players for not wearing the
right shoes. That the players did not wear the right shoes. Now,
(10:10):
keep in mind some players on the Eagles and the
Chiefs talked about how they changed shoes. In fact, some
players on the Eagles even said that, and I think
this was well publicized. We talked about it. They changed
cleats a lot of the players at halftime because they
were not doing particularly well with.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
The footing at the Super Bowl. And also you've got
the Sodfather.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
My favorite part of this little chapter in NFL history
is George Toma, at age ninety four, who came out
like a buzzsaw and ripped the NFL's current field director,
Ed Mangen I believe is the guy's name, and George
Tooma said that the NFL did not allow the field
(10:53):
to dry enough outside after it was last watered.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
He blamed that. He also said the field sanded two
weeks too late.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
According to George Toma, who had been involved in every
Super Bowl overseeing that now he's too old, and now
that he's ripped the NFL, he'll never be invited back
because you don't cross the Godfather, Roger Goodell. Even though
you are the Sodfather, you can't mess with the Godfather
of the NFL. And so the NFL, though, said, ultimately
(11:27):
the field past inspection and they deemed it good enough
to play. So why did the NFL now come out
on this random July Day and blame the Chiefs and
the Eagle players for slipping at the Super Bowl, saying
it was their problem. So it's like Janet Jackson, that's
the way love goes, right. It's a wardrobe malfunction, the
(11:49):
most famous nip slip in the history of the world.
There Janet Jackson back in the day. There and the
NFL blaming the wardrobe malfunction, and it's no accountability Park Avenue.
I wandered past the NFL offices there in Manhattan when
I was there last week, and there's no accountability and
(12:10):
they're serving up alphabet soup. It's kind of like boxing.
But the NFL they like the CYA and the PTB
as in, cover.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Your ass and pass the blame. That's what they like.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Remember, NFL films even showed the production arm of the
NFL showed the coaches officials of the NFL complaining about
the footing players during the game, and the NFL's like, no.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
No, it's your fault. You screwed up.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Bad job by you, all right, last and final thing here,
we are light years away from the twenty twenty four
NFL Draft. We are far far away from that. But
it's never too early to get in on the buzz,
and there's already some buzz for this. We have to
get through the college football season, the NFL season and
all that. But I was reading a report because I
got no life, and the report said, at one NFL
(13:02):
general manager claims Marvin Harrison Junior from the Ohio State
University the Buckeyes dot the I that Marvin Harrison Junior
could that's a weasel word, could wind up being the
first player drafted in twenty twenty four. That's kind of
a big deal. The GM said. We haven't had a
(13:22):
wide receiver drafted first overall since Keishawn, but Harrison could
push that even in a draft with Caleb Williams, the
University of Southern California quarterback. Now, the general manager did
not sign his name, did not sign his name to this.
So the question Marvin Harrison Junior being hyped up as
(13:43):
a possible number one overall pick ahead of Caleb Williams
from the Men of Troy in the twenty twenty four
NFL draft. So does that make any sense? Yes, it
makes nonsense, is what it makes. That's the sense that
it makes nonsense. So I'm shaking my head no on
(14:06):
this one. It has been twenty seven years. That's a
generation since the NFL had a wide receiver go number
one overall.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
That was Keishawn Johnson.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
And the only way Caleb Williams is not the number
one pick in the NFL draft is if he hits
an iceberg and sinks to the bottom of the ocean
like the Titanic. Right, That's the only way people forget
the reason that Kishan Johnson was the number one pick.
There were no quarterbacks in that raft. You know who
(14:37):
the first quarterback drafted was? No, you don't, because you're
a loser if you know that. And I looked it
up and I didn't know it either. In nineteen ninety six,
when Kishean was drafted number one by the Jets, the
first quarterback picked was a guy named Tony Banks. He
needed the government to bail him out. He was drafted
by the Saint Louis Rams in the second round. There
(14:58):
were no quarterbacks picked in the first round, and I
will Garrion f and t you if there had been
one halfway decent quarterback that was greater at a first
round pick, jee Shawn Johnson would not have been drafted
number one overall and and so that's just that's the
reality of the situation. And so this guy Kayleb Williams,
NFL marketings hyping him up. He's Patrick Mahomes two point zero.
(15:20):
Of course, the NFL didn't even know that Patrick Mahlmes
was gonna be that good. That's why he was not
drafted as the first of the second quarterback in that draft.
And when he was drafted by Kansas City, people like, oh, wait,
what are they.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Doing and what is it?
Speaker 1 (15:32):
That's a reach by Andy Reid and all that. Well,
it didn't work out that way. And I would say
there's a better chance of Marvin Harrison not being drafted
number two than being drafted number one, because Kayleb Williams
gonna be number one unless he gets hurt or arrested
or you know, sinks to the bottom of the ocean.
And then you've got some other quarterbacks that are fringe
first round quarterbacks if you look at the projections, like
(15:55):
Drake May of North Carolina and Quinn Ewer are Ooters
of Texas.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
So those are some other quarterbacks. It is the Bane
Mather Show. As we continue on.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
If you want to be part of this eight seven
seven ninety nine on Fox, and it's a big day.
My favorite sporting event of the year is going to
go on today, Joey Chestnut, Who's going to set a
new record.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
He's getting old though.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Joe interview Joey last year, Joey chest nutt he talked
about the aging process and he's trying to He's trying
to kick back on father Time, right, trying to push
back on that and continue his dominance there as he
is the all time goat of.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Eating, the greatest eater that ever lived.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
And that will be going on today and I'll actually
have him on the podcast this weekend. I know Joey's
excited about that. He's actually more excited Joey Chestnut about
being on the Fifth Hour podcast with me than he
is in the Nathan's Hot Dog Contest there on Coney Island,
just down the street from Marcel in Brooklyn. Eight seven
seven ninety nine on Fox. Also the Nickname Game. Now,
(16:59):
there have been some great play with nicknames in the NFL,
but we got one to add this. I hope this
guy's a star. He's not in the NFL yet, but
this guy's got one of the great nicknames of all time.
We'll get to that. We will do it next.
Speaker 4 (17:14):

Speaker 3 (18:34):
Well.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
A sport we don't often talk about. Really a bad
job by us. I think we should talk more WNBA.
Have you read the only time we talk about the
WNBA is one of one of their players says they
hate America.
Speaker 5 (18:46):
You know, does anyone in the WNBN like him when
they get arrested in Russia?
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Well after saying they hate America, there's apparently someone named
Natasha Cloud. Eddie, you're my WNBA guy. You ever heard
of Natasha Cloud?
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (19:00):
No, that was Raider Ryan when he was here, was
r WNBA guy.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Patrick? You a big WNBA fan over there, Patrick, No, No,
you're not. You're not all right.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
So apparently last week someone named Natasha Cloud, who is
apparently a WNBA star. Can you be a star in
the WNBA if no one watches, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Maybe she is a star.
Speaker 5 (19:22):
I mean, I'm sure she's on ESPN all the time.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
I yes, yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Anyway, she apparently went viral last week when I was
away from my watch post. She ripped the United States,
and she was very upset. She says, our country is
trash in so many ways. She said she was upset
with the Supreme Court ruling last week on college admissions,
and of course then after that number of people she
(19:51):
had responses. She didn't back down. She doubled down on
her comments. And he says, also, I need y'all to
come up with something better than moved to Russia or China.
As people were asking her to leave. I mean, she
said she would love to leave the country. And all
these people that say they'd love to leave the country,
(20:11):
none of them do.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
None of them. They don't leave at all. Well enis
cantor Ennis can't remember. He used to be an NBA player,
and I do remember.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Became like a political guy, and then the NBA said,
you don't really fit our political agenda, so we're getting
rid of you. And so he's not been invited back.
But he changed his name to Freedom Enniscanter to Ennis Freedom.
He became a US citizen and it makes his way
around the political talk shows if you're into that kind
of thing. So he has now decided to offer Natasha
(20:45):
Cloud a one way ticket to China. Russia or North
Korea because she hates the United States so much. He said,
just ask your colleague, Brittany Griner, how trash America is.
He Then he said, let me know when your season
is over, I'll buy your ticket. We can go together
(21:07):
to count to counties or countries rather like China, Russia, Iran,
North Korea, Venezuela, Cuba, and Turkey. So can you even
get a plane flight to North Korea?
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Though I don't know.
Speaker 5 (21:21):
I'm pretty sure that is. I'm pretty sure that's not
the case.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
So he's lying on that. What about Iran? Maybe?
Speaker 5 (21:30):
No, I think they're very selective. I'll put it that way.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Russia they'll let you in, but they might it's like
the Hotel California, and I might not be able to leave,
you know, keep you around. China? Any interest in going
to Chinay?
Speaker 5 (21:44):
I actually thought about it a few years ago. The
LA Kings played pre season games over there, and they
were kind of offering some like some packages to go,
and I haven't thought about it. I thought about it,
but did not.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Go go over there, buy a bunch of jerseys and
stuff on the cheap and no, no, take an extra
suitcase filled up with merchandise, official merchandise which is made
in China and then marked up by eight thousand percent.
So anyway, I do not believe that Natasha Cloud has
taken up Enus Canter Freedom whatever his name is, to
(22:20):
go to any of those countries.
Speaker 5 (22:22):
So there you go. And as a matter of fact,
of course, if she would say those things in other countries,
she would be thrown in jail.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
But who is the like the demographic for like? Is
this good marketing for the WNBA we're talking about it?
So how's that work among some?
Speaker 5 (22:38):
I guess yeah, I guess some.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Any publicity is good publicity.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Let's celebrate the fourth of July and have one of
our players talk about how trash America is.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
That's the way, though I don't know. I actually love
this country still, so I don't know.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Maybe I'm in the minority on that, but I don't
think I am. Actually I think I'm in the majority.
It is the Bain Malors Show. We'll take some calls
coming up here, I promise. Eight seven seven ninety nine
on Fox is the number. And also later this hour
site the Bite, we'll get to that nickname game as well.
And what a welcome back we had to quite the one.
(23:12):
I maybe I'll do that as my fun fact to
the bottom of the hour. But right now, let's get
you caught up on everything going on in the overnight.
And right over there we say hello to Steamboat Willie
Eddie Garcia.
Speaker 5 (23:23):
All right, thank you, Ben. We start with Major League
Baseball games of no where. The Braves are now thirty
games over five hundred. That's not bad. Fifty seven and
twenty seven on the season. That is the best record
in all of baseball. They run their winning streak to
nine in a row with the four to two went
over the Guardians. Michael Harris the second hit, a couple
of homers, and Ronald Lacuno Junior, who will see in
the All Star Game coming up. I had a stolen base.
(23:44):
Why is that important? Well, he's the first player in
Major League history before the All Star Break to have
twenty homers, forty steals, and fifty RBI in the first
half of the season. Twins beat the Royals eight to four,
Minnesota regaining sole possession of first place in the Al Central.
They are a game up on Cleveland Red's get by
the Nationals three two. It was the Brewers rallying down
six nothing to beat the Cubs eight to six, so
(24:05):
Milwaukee and Cincinnati remained tied for the top spot in
the NL Central. We had a slugfest in Arlington between
the Rangers and the Astros, and that brings us to
our Progressive play of the day.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Three two again Ed Tucker hits it in the air
and hits it. Take a right faith and you can't
kiss it. Goodbye. Hey, great slam for Kyle Tucker. Had
the Astros lead it six to nothing.
Speaker 5 (24:29):
Seven ninety k BM e Astros Radio on the call.
Of course, that was just the start of things six
nothing for Houston, but they ended up holding on forre
twelve to eleven win. But that Kyle Tucker grand slam
our aggressive player of the day game. H Yeah, I
should have done that. If you'd like to do that
kind of thing. Progressive making things even easier. They'll help
(24:50):
you bundle your home and car trips together so you
can save up both. Learn more at Progressive dot com
or call one eight hundred Progressive. As for the Rangers,
with that loss to the Astros, their lead in the
ALS now down to three. On Houston Potters beat the
Angels ten to three in the loss for the Halos.
They may have had a bigger loss with Mike Trout
leaving in the eighth inning after fouling off a pitch
(25:11):
suffered some sort of an injury in his wrist. I
was examined after the game, taken out of the game
and had X rays. But we haven't heard what the
extent of that's going to be.
Speaker 7 (25:20):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (25:20):
The Orioles lose to the Yankees is that the ambulance.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
The music stopped. The ambulance came in and they stopped
the music. What happened? Rood of them to do that?
Speaker 5 (25:31):
The Yankees beat the Orioles six to three. New York
started dimgo Herman, you might remember, at a perfect game
in his last outing, not so perfect in this one.
Four to third innings, two runs, nine heads. He gets
a no decision. Dodgers beat the Pirates all star pitcher
of Mitch Keller five to the final. Meanwhile, LA put
their all star pitcher Clayton Kershaw on the injured list.
He will miss the All Star Game. By the way,
(25:51):
congrats to your boy. Dave Roberts gets his seven hundred
win as a manager.
Speaker 6 (25:55):
I really.
Speaker 5 (26:00):
You love them.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
I take Tommy Lasorda back even though he's dead. I'd
take him back right now.
Speaker 5 (26:04):
At well, that would be a little weekend Saturday's there
on the bench.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
I'd rather have him.
Speaker 5 (26:08):
Marlins beat the Cardinals five to four, Mariners over the
Giant six to five, and the NBA, the Minnesota Timberwolves
and All Star Anthony Edwards agree in a five year
max extension worth up to two hundred and sixty million dollars.
Day one at Wimbledon, of course tennis, your winners of
note included the men's number two seed Novak Djokovic and
the women's number one seed Nga swon Tech. She is
from Poland, Americans Cocoa Goff and Venus Williams. They're out
(26:32):
after the first round. Day two coming up in just
a few hours here at Wimbledon, and now back to
Ben malerinthtyrac dot Com, Fox Sports.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
Well, what a what a welcome back in Major League Baseball.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
The Orioles were playing the Yankees in the Bronx, as
they often do, being American League East rivals, and that
meant that Aaron Hicks, who was fired by the Yankees,
returned to the Bronx for the first time since being
let go and joining the Orioles. So the Yankees thought,
since Aaron Hicks had been there a long time, they
(27:04):
would play a nice little video, a vignad of some
of the big moments that Aaron Hicks had. Of course,
the video was probably about ten seconds long. But they
played the video on the scoreboard there at Yankee Stadium
to celebrate Aaron Hicks.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
And what do you think the Yankee fans did?
Speaker 1 (27:20):
Boom boo Oh yeah, it was a bootastic, a bootastic situation.
There booze here, there and everywhere, and Aaron Hicks every
at bat the booze got louder and louder and louder.
So he was welcome back in the typical Yankee way.
Speaker 7 (27:40):
There.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
And there's a guy that does deserve to get boot
He's stunk. And my new favorite nickname I had heard
about this guy, forgotten about him. Came up on the
show about a year ago. And I think it was
about a year AGO's name popped up on the show.
He's got one of the great nicknames. Now, the top
nicknames in the NFL the last twenty years are ha Ha,
Clinton Dix and Sauce Gardner. Those are the top two niggas.
(28:04):
But this guy's right up there, and he's a defensive
back as well. Yeah, have you heard you know who
this kid Alabama is Eddie that's projected as an NFL player.
Speaker 5 (28:15):
I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
His name, Eddie is kool Aid McKinstry. How great is that?
Speaker 1 (28:24):
That's that's a great nickname. Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, absolutely,
And this guy's projected as one of the you know,
an NFL player, I actually go to Alabama, you're projected
to be an NFL player. But they're hyping this guy
up as the top defensive back in the country. So
I was wondering, how did he get the nickname? It's
(28:45):
a very odd nickname to be named kool Aid McKinstry,
and it's not legal name. His real name is Jack
Quincy McKinstry. But as a kid, this is great. This
is why we love grandmothers. Right after he was born,
his grandma, his grandmama looked at him and saw the
kid smiling and said, this kid looks like the kool.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
Aid man, And there you go. Isn't the rest is history?
Speaker 7 (29:12):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (29:13):
Well, haha.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Clinton Dix got the nickname because he got hurt and
he was laughing. Wasn't that how he got the nickname
as a kid. He got injured and he's like laughing,
and so they go, haha, that was his nickname. How
did sauce Gardner get his nickname?
Speaker 5 (29:27):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
Barbecue sauce, honey mustard, sauce, ketchup sauce, I don't know.
All right, let's say hello to Let's say hello to
Angry Bill. See how long he stays on the air
before we have to hang up on him. Hello, Angry
Bill in Jacksonville.
Speaker 7 (29:43):
How you doing, gentlemen? This thing with Roberto's been bothering me.
You have a guy who was doing a great job,
and he obviously loved what he was doing, and all
of a sudden, he's gone like the wind, like the
wind blew to trees away. There's only one thing that
stops a man from doing what he loves, doing a
great job what he's doing, and that's a woman. I
(30:05):
guarantee you. His wife said, I want you home to night.
I want no more to being out at night job
or whatever it is. And that's what happened to Roberto.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
So that's your that's your conspiracy theory that he left.
Speaker 7 (30:19):
He left not telling anybody anything. He left.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
We kind of. Eddie basically said he was leaving on
the airs. He did Eddie, Eddie said, Eddie did an interview.
Speaker 5 (30:29):
On the podcast what was gonna do?
Speaker 7 (30:31):
What I'm saying, I'm saying he left because of the wait, do.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
You ripped him when he was here? Now that he's
not here, you're upset that he's.
Speaker 7 (30:38):
Not here, And well, I was part of the skid ripping.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Come on, man, Oh I didn't realize it. I'm sorry.
I did not see the writing. I apologize a great
job of what he was doing, and he loved it.
Speaker 7 (30:48):
You can tell he was putting his heart into it
when he did his job. And all of a sudden
he's gone. And he didn't give a great explanation why.
And it's because of his wife. I want you home
at night.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
He didn't say that, but I'm sure that was a factor.
You know, that's what happens when you're married.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Angry Bill.
Speaker 7 (31:05):
It was it. And let me tell you, I'm not
saying she could be a beautiful woman, nice woman and
everything else. But anytime a woman does that to a
guy and cuts his Kadani's off, okay and does what
she did?
Speaker 2 (31:18):
All right? All right, thank you let's go to strip club. John.
We'll go to Cleveland.
