Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
It's our num birth three, our three.

Speaker 1 (00:05):
Ready to rock and roll here in our three.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
Rory McElroy. That's a golfer. The tabloids say he is
close to an eight hundred and fifty million dollars deal
with live golf.

Speaker 1 (00:19):
What is the word for this? What is the word
for this?

Speaker 2 (00:22):
Also, how upset should our former morning guy Klay travisby
that his website was denied WNBA credentials? The WNB actually
denying someone media access. Also, the NFL is a great story.
So the NFL booked the Eagles and Packers to play
in South America in Brazil at a stadium that has

(00:43):
banned the color green. How do you process this latest
NFL quagmire in Brazil? We'll talk about that and who
knows what else? Right now here? It is our number three.
Now that is some funny, some real funny money.

Speaker 1 (01:02):
Welcome. In the beginning of another hour of The Ben
Mather Show.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
We are in the air everywhere sound waves soulmates as
we dive into audio paradise, coast to coast, border, the
border and beyond on the vast and discernibly powerful microphones
of fsre ammating live from the science, the sweet science

(01:31):
of it all. We're broadcasting live from the tire rack
dot Com studios.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
Tire rack dot Com.

Speaker 2 (01:36):

free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended in stars.
I forty ian is amazed by that number. Tire rack
dot Com the way tire buying should be. It's a

(01:58):
big hour ahead. Later this hour, buckle up, Buccaroo because
we are going to have Mallar's Mountain Money. Also the
malor Riddle of the day, a lot of things. I
just put my name on everything, so I just market
everything with my own name.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
You should do it if you ever get a radio show.
It's the way to do it.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
Just put your name on everything and that way, just
say your name a million times. But our lead this
hour coming from the links. So this is something I
did not anticipate when I checked my email bag when
I woke up on Monday morning, and I had a couple.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
Of people who were angry with me.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
They were upset with me because I did not do
the rare and appropriate golf monologue about Scotty Scheffler winning
the Masters. Now there's a couple of things about this
that I find fascinating.

Speaker 3 (02:48):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
Number one, I almost never talk about golf, so why
would you turn to me to talk about golf. That's
the first thing. The second thing is there's nothing that
Scotty Scheffler did that is other unless you're just a
horny for golf talk, that is worthy of much conversation.
So I don't get it. But people have said there's

(03:09):
no drama. I go where the drama is. I like
the drama.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
No drama.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
So now we found a story that is golf related
that it's got a little kick to it, it's got a
little bite, put some hair on your chest, and I
think you know where I'm going, But maybe not. We
learned that Rory McElroy, who did not did not win
the Masters, did not Roy McElroy, who has been an outspoken,

(03:35):
outspoken ambassador, advocate, whatever you want to say, for the
PGA Tour, he's attacked the live golf operation.

Speaker 1 (03:44):
If this was.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
Professional wrestling, the way we would describe the story. He's
considering becoming a heel. Gone, He's gonna go from pretty
boy to heel. It's according to a London based tabloid
where I get all my news from London, based tabloids,
Roy McElroy is closing in on a deal that will

(04:05):
pay him how much money to leave the PGA Tour
for the Live Golf Tour?

Speaker 1 (04:10):
How much money? Eight one hundred and fifty million dollars
Cha ching cha, ching chi chen.

Speaker 2 (04:21):
Let me repeat that Roy McElroy is this close to
leaving the PGA Tour for the Live Golf operation for
eight hundred and fifty million dollars. Now, there have been
whispers in the last couple months by those that pay
much closer attention than I do to the golf world
that Roy McElroy has had some behind the scenes conversations

(04:42):
with Live Golf, that he's been in negotiations and that
they are close to a resolution. That Roy McElroy has
now softened his stance while he's laying in a pile
of thousand dollars bills even though there's no such thing.

Speaker 1 (04:59):
But he's a on board.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
He's had a epiphoty when it comes to joining the
Saudi back golf circuit. So let us discuss the question
Roy mackelor, if the tabloids are right close to an
eight hundred and fifty million dollars golf deal with.

Speaker 1 (05:14):
Live What is the word for this? What is the
word for this?

Speaker 2 (05:19):
So I have balloon, kitticat, and malfeasance, and we will
combine all of these things together and we are going
to make a power play. Power play because we're going
on the power play. So first of all, the word
for this is bonanza. That is, it's an obvious word, bonanza.
This is an insane amount of money.

Speaker 1 (05:40):
It is insane.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
Roy macklroy and I drive in here and there's a
billboard when I drive the long drive from the north
Woods and they list the amount of the lotteries, how
much the value is they want you to buy lottery tickets.
If you combine both of the lotteries on that billboard,
they don't come anywhere close to how much this eight
hundred and fifty million dollars would be for Roy McElroy.

Speaker 1 (06:02):
So it's just wild, right, It's just.

Speaker 2 (06:04):
Like Roy McElroy is literally and figuratively sitting on an
oil reserve. Saudi oil, my god. The Saudi Arabian Sovereign
Wealth Fund is worth nine hundred and twenty five billion dollars.
In fact, I donated some money to the Saudis because
I bought gas by gas yesterday and I donated a

(06:27):
little money there to help pay for the golfers. My
money goes to the golfers. But here's the moral of
this story. It has not done yet, and there's it's
conceivable that this will change, not could change, but the
way it's looking right now, this is going to happen.
And it is a reminder that when you have nine

(06:47):
hundred and twenty five billion dollars, you can buy and
sell pretty much everything and anyone.

Speaker 1 (06:53):
And that's it. Everyone's got a price tag. We know that.

Speaker 2 (06:57):
It's part of the human condition. We all will do
things we say we won't do if the price is
right or something else is right. But nobody's got deeper
pockets than the Saudi Sovereign Wealth Fund.

Speaker 1 (07:11):
And this is in.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
My head, that cartoon bubble. The people who put this
lip thing together were just you know, futzing around, eff
and around. They're like, well, this guy doesn't like us,
right this Roy McElroy doesn't like us.

Speaker 1 (07:24):
I bet you we raised it.

Speaker 2 (07:25):
You know, we come up with enough money here, this
guy'll be singing a different song. And sure enough, it
looks like he's about to do that. And it's also
conceivable though that Roy McElroy and the people around him,
his posse, his golf posse, leaked this story to the
tabloids in London because they were trying to get the
pulse of the room.

Speaker 4 (07:45):
Here.

Speaker 1 (07:45):
I want to see thet.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
Trial, balloon lit that up, Let that go up, see
which way the wind is blowing, and the reaction to
the story, and what normally happens with these type of stories.
It's a couple of days of bluster and people are
all in a tizzy and then they move on to
the next shiny object and get all upset and all that,
and you know it's like, no one's gonna watch golf. Well,

(08:07):
I don't know what the radies were for the Masters.
I don't think they were that great because it wasn't
very compelling. Now, secondly, we now pivot to a very
bizarre story about censorship involving a former Fox Sports radio
morning host. Not Stephen A.

Speaker 1 (08:21):
Smith. No, no, no no.

Speaker 2 (08:23):
This this loosely relates to the WNBA Draft. So they
had the draft last night, did not watch one second
of it. Have no interest in that at all. I
don't even like drafts when I know the players in
the draft, I don't watch them. So this one I
didn't know the players. I didn't watch a second of it.
But if you did, that's fine. You're into that.

Speaker 1 (08:41):
You know, whatever gets you through life.

Speaker 2 (08:44):
So with that as the backdop, we are told that
our old buddy, Clay Travis, who's now he's in that
Rush Limbaugh chair.

Speaker 1 (08:52):
He replaced Rush.

Speaker 2 (08:53):
But Clay Travis had filed for a credential for his
website to cover the WNBA draft, but he announced that
the WNBA denied that credential. The event was held in Brooklyn,
but not at It was at like an arts facility,
not the arena in Brooklyn, which is kind of bizarre.

(09:15):
But Clay implied our old buddy Clay that the credentials
were denied after they had asked at the women's Final
four about having women compete against men like that, you know,
no transgender issue and all that. And so here's the question,
how upset How upset should Clay Travis, our old morning guy, be,

(09:38):
that he and his website over there at OutKick were
denied media credentials to the w NBA draft. So my
response is to go kittikat. My response is go kitty
cat here and have a cheshire cat smile from ear
to ear.

Speaker 1 (09:53):
If I'm Clay, I'm like, this is great.

Speaker 2 (09:54):
This is the greatest thing in the world because we
get some publicity. It's a win win, right, checks all
the You don't have to publish a WNBA draft story
that would have gotten three and a half people to
click on it, and you look like the outlaws.

Speaker 1 (10:07):
Right, You're like, you're the guys.

Speaker 2 (10:09):
All these other hacks in the media aren't asking you
any tough questions. You're actually asking tough questions. It also
makes you wonder what's going on over the WNBA, Like
what are they afraid of? Like you're making a story
out of nothing, and are you not confident in the
answer that you were going to give?

Speaker 1 (10:26):
Right? I mean, the WNBA has always complained they.

Speaker 2 (10:29):
Don't get any media coverage other than the people they
pay to cover them, Like ESPN gets paid to cover
the WNBA, so they promote it.

Speaker 1 (10:37):
But I don't get it. I do not understand why
you would make that move.

Speaker 2 (10:41):
What are you hiding? What are you afraid of? Just
answer the question. It's just a question you can come
up with. They can't answer. Just like the live golf
people we talked about Roy mcor Remember the Live Golf.
When that thing started, they had a list of answers.
They said, here are the questions you're going to get asked.
Here are the answers, and you can do the same thing.
It's called being prepared. All right, final, this is a
hilarious story. I was not planning on talking about this story,

(11:04):
but it is so juicy, it is so wonderful. I
must bring this up. So we're gonna swivel to the fashionist.

Speaker 1 (11:13):
The world on the show. So this is great.

Speaker 2 (11:16):
So the Philadelphia Eagles, that's a football team in Philadelphia.
They are in danger of being banned from wearing their
home uniforms when they play in Brazil. The first South
American game to kick off the Friday, and they can
play a game Thursday, traditional opener Super Bowl champion Chiefs.

(11:38):
Thursday will be in Brazil Eagles and Packers. But The
Daily Mail, another tabloid, The Daily Mail informs us that
because of a rivalry between a couple of Brazilian soccer
clubs who you don't know who they are and either I,
the host stadium which is going to have the NFL
game has a ban on the color green that you're

(12:04):
not allowed to wear the color green in the stadium
because it is worn by their arch rivals. So they
just banned the color because there's like real riots and
people get beat up and they get bloodied and bruised
and beaten and battered and all that, and so they
just got rid of the color green because of that.
So players and fans, mind you, the fans are also forbidden.

Speaker 1 (12:27):
It's for boten.

Speaker 2 (12:28):
You're not allowed to wear the color green, all right,
So how do you process the NFL? They put themselves
in quite the quagmire here with this game, So how
do you process this?

Speaker 1 (12:40):
So this is corporate mouth feasts. This is such a.

Speaker 2 (12:44):
Great story when you think of the comedic value. So
you have the Philadelphia Eagles who have the green, the
Kelly green. They're playing the Green Bay Packers. They literally
have green in the name of the effing team.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
So what are they both going to where they're white?
You know, they're still green in them? So good?

Speaker 2 (13:10):
Who goofed? I've got to know that is malfeasance. That
is so hilarious. Tremendous research by the NFL on South
American football rivalries.

Speaker 1 (13:22):
Oh so good. Two teams with greed, oh It's great, all.

I'm just saying, let me be so sweet to me though.
It's been like a sweet creaming butter.

Speaker 1 (22:50):
Wow. Okay, I thought you were going somewhere. All right, Well,
thank you. I gotta go, all right, yeah, all right,
hangof go put you on hold? Whatever is that really?
Blind Scott? Wow? I have not who from blind Scott
and much Hello blind Scott?

Speaker 8 (23:05):
Hey was u Ben? I had a call to talk
about a serious topics. It's about death and like Larry LUKENO,
he just died recently. He was like a Red Talk legend.
He reversed the Kurts and they had a huge funeral
for him in Swanscott, Mats Twoses last week. They had
the Catholic priest there. It's like the best fucking priest
in all the Catholic churches and everything.

Speaker 3 (23:26):
So they really rolled.

Speaker 8 (23:28):
Out the big guns for this. And then uh, like
you know, like if Eddie passed away, like, would you
go to Eddie's funeral in his way? You think?

Speaker 1 (23:36):
Oh, I love going to funerals, man, as long as
they's not mine. I go to a lot of funerals. Yeah,
probably show up. Yeah, why not?

Speaker 8 (23:45):
John Henry didn't go to Larry Luke.

Speaker 2 (23:46):
I know I saw that because they hate each other, right,
you can't stand each other. John Henry and Werner either
one of them showed up right, Yeah?

Speaker 8 (23:56):
And then he was at the Red Talks game today
crying John Henry. I forget what he was crying about.

Speaker 1 (24:03):
He was trying.

Speaker 2 (24:03):
I mean guess he was crying because he didn't want
the part of him not showing up to the funeral
to get out.

Speaker 3 (24:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (24:09):
But but isn't that, Scott. Isn't the old joke. We've
all heard the joke before. Maybe we haven't heard the joke,
but uh, you go to someone you hate's funeral to
make sure there's they're still dead, right because you hate them.

Speaker 2 (26:36):
So no, I'll get in trouble to trust me. We've
had the We've had that conversation. But the reason the
reason they hired call screeners at Fox Sports Radio is
because on the weekends that my boardop Jerry was trying
to juggle everything and people were cursing. They were doing
blue comedy on the air, and the management did not
appreciate that. Yes, anyway, that was a long time ago.

(26:59):
The statute of Littleitations run out.

Speaker 6 (27:06):
Back to that Patriots Day game. Rob Gonkowski on hand
to throw out the first pitch, which was a little
bit unique, but then again for him, you know, seemed appropriate.
So he gets into the wind up, looks like he's
ready to fire that pitch to home plate and then
he spikes the baseball right in the ground.

Speaker 1 (27:23):
With the spike has his signature spike you move.

Speaker 6 (27:26):
After he scored a touchdown with the Patriots, so actually
thought that was pretty funny.

Speaker 1 (27:31):
You enjoyed that.

Speaker 2 (27:31):
You're encouraging that kind of activity any he was appropriate. Listen,
I know how to throw out a first ball. Okay, okay,
I know how to do it anyway, It is the
Ben Mavisha mass whole. Mickey rights and says, whoa, whoa, whoa?
How did blind Scott see all that stuff from the
Red Sox game? Now, justin in Cincinnati's doing open mic

Speaker 1 (28:00):
Oh all right, what else do we have? Page down here?

Speaker 2 (28:03):

To be honest, No he didn't.

Speaker 6 (28:13):
So now you're bringing up that's that's somebody else.

Speaker 1 (28:15):
Slug's bringing it up.

Speaker 6 (28:16):
No, but you're reading what slug said, so you're.

Speaker 2 (28:18):
I'm just repeating what he wrote. But yeah, he does
not work for the coming Lorraina went back. You've listened
to everything. Everything's good, right, we're all kosher.

Speaker 9 (28:26):
It is kosher.

Speaker 1 (28:29):

Speaker 6 (28:30):
You know what, next time, I'll just let it go.
I won't say anything and LORRAINI can get fired.

Speaker 1 (28:34):
How about that?

Speaker 6 (28:34):
Do you feel better?

Speaker 1 (28:36):
Well, you brought it up.

Speaker 2 (28:38):
You could have done it ten minutes after that.

Speaker 6 (28:41):
You were not like a cat, Lorada, because you were
apparently taking a cat nap, because there was a stuff.

Speaker 1 (28:45):
He said a word that sounded like something.

Speaker 2 (28:47):
And Lorraine's defense her his stomic is full of delicious
ribs and potatoes.

Speaker 1 (28:52):
So right, come on, what do you expect.

Speaker 2 (28:54):
You move a little slow, and you've had a big
meal that's bigger than Thanksgiving dinner for most people.

Speaker 9 (28:58):
With LORRAINA just had Coops that he's never seen me
eat so much.

Speaker 1 (29:02):
Yeah, but you have the great genetics, so you will
not get any weight.

Speaker 6 (29:05):
I would you partake, Coop?

Speaker 1 (29:06):
Did you Coop partake?

Speaker 3 (29:09):
No?

Speaker 6 (29:09):
I I didn't see him mean anything.

Speaker 1 (29:12):
I've already got married, Coop. You can get you can eat.
It's all right. You don't have the wedding to worry about.

Speaker 4 (29:16):
I mean, I wish I had known, because we ordered
the biggest pizza you've ever seen.

Speaker 2 (29:21):
And I've seen a pretty I've seen a pizza the
size of a car tra hood of a car.

Speaker 1 (29:26):
Well, okay, I mean it's like Mama's and Papa's Pizza
and Pana is a.

Speaker 9 (29:29):
Very a very deep dish pizza.

Speaker 6 (29:32):
I like getting ready for Chicago trip or something.

Speaker 4 (29:34):
Yeah, there's a new pizza place that opened in my
town and it's fantastic and they have a you can
choose like five different crust styles that you want, and
I went with the Sicilian crust, which is just this big,
big bread. It was amazing. I had way too many slices.
So I walked in saw this food.

Speaker 2 (29:56):
I'm like, ah, So I lost Coop years ago, go
before you worked here. I lost a bet with a
listener on the Tampa Bay Rays making the playoffs. They
were then called the Devil Rays, if I remember correctly,
And I had to buy this guy pizza. He picked
a pizza literally the size of the hood of his car.

Speaker 1 (30:15):
He couldn't even fit it.

Speaker 2 (30:17):
We had he got delivered, and we didn't know how
to keep it warm because we couldn't fit it in
the building without tipping the pizza over and the pizza
would have fallen out of the box.

Speaker 1 (30:26):
So he had it.

Speaker 2 (30:26):
He turned his car on and that's how the pizza
stayed warm on the hood of his car.

Speaker 1 (30:33):
Brilliant, right, And that solid movie brilliant. It was one
of the blind listeners who no longer calls the show.

Speaker 6 (30:40):
We just say, Ben, you had a blind listener who
had a car.

Speaker 1 (30:44):
Oh, his friend drove the car.

Speaker 2 (30:46):
See, I don't believe he did unless he's Stevie Wonder, Right,
isn't that the legend of Stevie Wonder that he drives? No,
didn't Bobo work for Stevie Wonder?

Speaker 6 (30:55):
He did?

Speaker 1 (30:55):
Yeah, Steven Wonder.

Speaker 2 (30:57):
Buys a lot of TVs and stuff that normally blind
people would not buy.

Speaker 6 (31:01):
You know, so is the legend?

Speaker 1 (31:03):
Yeah, the legends you can see a little bit, that'd
be one of the greatest ruses of all time. Wouldn't
that be the most amazing ruse?

Speaker 6 (31:10):
Serious would be a pretty good way out.

Speaker 9 (31:11):
I mean he wasn't actually blind.

Speaker 1 (31:13):
Yeah, yeah, if you can see a little bit, that
wouldn't it be great?

Speaker 5 (31:15):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (31:16):
Well, most people aren't completely blind. It's usually on like
a spectrum. You know, you can still probably see shadows. Fun,
the fun is Stevie Wonder fake blind? That's a fun story.

Speaker 9 (31:27):
Great story.

Speaker 1 (31:28):
That's a great story. Right.

Speaker 2 (31:29):
I mean, this guy's a music legend and he's like pretending,
you know, a little bit a little bit blind and
