Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our number far.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
As we get to the innercore here on the Original
Recipe podcast, our number four, and we kick it off
here on this third day of June, our first podcast
for the Original Recipe show in the month of June,
and we go to the NFL.

Speaker 1 (00:22):
What do you make of.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
Lamar Jackson losing seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars giving
that money back in a bonus because he failed to
show up to the proper amount of organized team activities
even though he was in town in Baltimore. Also, former
Saints star Drew Brees wants another shot to call NFL

(00:44):
games on.

Speaker 1 (00:44):
The boob Tube.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
But does he deserve another shot? We'll discuss that and
glowing reports on both Drake May and bo Nicks, the
rookie quarterbacks over the weekend from Foxboro to Denver.

Speaker 1 (00:57):
What's your verdict on this one.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
We'll talk about all of that and much more right
now as we hit the ground running here in our
number four.

Speaker 1 (01:05):
Have a wonderful Monday, good start to your week. Here
is our number four.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
It is very rare, very rare that you will give
back money if you are a professional athlete, a star
level athlete, But yet it happened and not many people
talking about. I think it's one of the craziest stories
of the week. Well gome in the beginning of another

(01:37):
hour of the Ben Mathers Show.

Speaker 3 (01:39):
We are in the air, aywhere as we chirp, and
we are never leaky, never ever leaky, Coast to coast,
border to border.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
And beyond all the last and ponderously powerful.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
Why are you in ponder passing ponderously.

Speaker 2 (01:59):
Powerful microphones of fsre emmating live from the corners, all
four corners of the world. We're broadcasting live from the
ty rack dot Com studios. Tyre rack dot com will
help you get there and unmatched selection, fast, free shipping,
free road hazard protection and over ten thousand recommended installers

(02:21):
are puffing, is puffing his chest out at that ten
thousand recommended his stars tyre rack dot Com The Way
Tire Buying showb and get back at it. This hour
our lead from the NFL. Interesting story. It's out of Baltimore.

(02:42):
It involves a two time Most Valuable Player in the
National Football League and mixed feelings for the two time
MVP for the Dead Poet Society. Now, if you didn't
hear about this. Maybe no, maybe you missed it. So
we learned over the weekend that the ravenstar Lamar Jackson,
turns out he didn't really need money, and he did

(03:05):
something that is almost unprecedented when you consider the amount
of money and the logistics on this. Lamar Jackson ended
up forfeiting seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars of cold
hard cash, just gave it back in a contract bonus

(03:27):
because he didn't show up to offseason workouts at a
high enough clip. Now there's some language in the contract,
Lamar Jackson had to take part in eighty percent of
offseason workouts. That seems like a reasonable number. You're the
two time MVP of the.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
Team, and he decided that I don't need that.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
I don't need those workouts excluding the mandatory mini camps,
which you have to be at.

Speaker 1 (03:53):
But this is the non mandatory.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
So he had already missed so many workouts it doesn't
matter if he shows up to the the offseason. He's
already missed enough that Lamar Jackson went completely a wall,
missing four of the Ravens first five OTA sessions, which
means he has already lost seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars.

(04:15):
If I told you all you had to do was
show up the work a couple of days and you'll
get seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars. I think you
would do what I would do, and come hell or
high water, I'd be there, right. I don't care you
were stuck between the devil and the deep blue c
I'm gonna be there. Okay, I'll find a way to
be there for that money. All right, let's discuss the question,

(04:38):
what do you make of this plot twist Lamar Jackson,
the two time MVP, losing seven hundred and fifty thousand
dollars in bonus money because he just didn't show up
to offseason workhouse. So I've got cartoonish Blackbeard the Pirate,
and swollen Dome, and we will combine all of these

(04:59):
things to get and we are going to paint castles
in the sky, is what we're going to do. So
to kick off Lamar Jackson, he must have saved all
of his money. He must not spend any of his money.
He must he must keep everything, otherwise he wouldn't be
doing this. The only way you can justify taking a

(05:20):
canister of unleaded gasoline and pouring it all over the
bag of seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars. The only
way you can justify that is if you already have
so much money, you can say.

Speaker 1 (05:33):
Burn, baby, burn, Like what are we doing?

Speaker 2 (05:37):
It is Cartoonishit's flippy the frog, as in flippant, reckless disregard.
To earn money, that is your money. All you have
to do is show up and get the money. And
I promise you if he had a good excuse, the
Ravens would have rolled with the punches.

Speaker 1 (05:54):
They would have given him the money. So he doesn't
have a good excuse.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
Otherwise this would not be a story in the public sector.
We know about it because of reckless disregard giving it back.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
Who gives back money? This goes against that famous quote
from P. T.

Speaker 2 (06:07):
Barnum who said money is a terrible master, but an
excellent servant. But not for Lamar Jackson. He's not gonna
be handcuffed to your money.

Speaker 1 (06:17):
No way.

Speaker 2 (06:18):
And keep in mind, just days before organized team activities,
Lamar Jackson was prancing around covered in black guyed Susan's
in Baltimore at that famous Preakness race.

Speaker 1 (06:32):
He was there he.

Speaker 2 (06:33):
Was all dulled up ready to go, and he couldn't
have stayed in town and just shown up and gone
through the OTAs.

Speaker 1 (06:41):
I mean, this is not my money.

Speaker 4 (06:42):
You know.

Speaker 2 (06:42):
He wants to lose the money and be frivolous. More
power to him. But man, that's money you can never
get back. That was yours and you gave it back
to the company. Like why why he somehow failed to
show up. He didn't tap his little card key to
get into the building. And you got to think there'll

(07:03):
be some kind of intervention here by Mama, the matriarch
of the Jackson empire. There, his mom, who helped negotiate
the contract. Mama Jackson must not be happy about this.
I would think she's gonna have to hold an intervention
because Lamar Jackson has identical payments of seven hundred and
fifty thousand dollars next year, the year after, and the
year after that. So you can do the math on that,

(07:26):
and you miss one, that's seven hundred and fifty, you
miss another, 're over over a million and a half,
and you keep going, so we're looking at three million
dollars in minf he misses all of these three million
dollars in money, and you just you rubbed your hands
and the money's gone. That's it, the money's gone. See
you later, all right. Furthermore, we head to the buy you.

(07:47):
We go to the buy you. Little crossover Hybridge story
here involving NFL royalty and television.

Speaker 1 (07:56):
That's right, television.

Speaker 2 (07:57):
So NFL legend exiled from the broadcast booth looking to
use a crow bar and get back in. He wants redemption.
Drew Brees remember him, Yeah, Drew Brees part of my
favorite ever episode of the Oprah Winfrey Show back in
the day when that was a popular show.

Speaker 1 (08:15):
Look it up, it's on the YouTube. Amazing episode anyway.

Speaker 2 (08:19):
Drew Brees wrote on social media that the NFL broadcast
partners can quote, come get me, Come get me now,
come get me now.

Speaker 1 (08:28):
You're ready, You're ready.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
When discussing his want, he wants to return to the
NFL broadcasting world. So let us discuss the former Saints
star and I saw when he played for the old
San Diego Chargers, Drew Brees. He wants another shot to
call NFL TV games. Does he deserve one? So I

(08:52):
spent several minutes in the male of think thank.

Speaker 1 (08:55):
I gotta tell you.

Speaker 2 (08:57):
No, I'm shaking my head. No, Drew Brees does not
I deserve another chance. That's not how this works. The
way jockocracy works. You get one chance, one chance, and
either make it or you don't make it.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
You don't get another chance, only one shot.

Speaker 2 (09:15):
And to quote the famous pirate who would go around Wilmington,
North Carolina, Blackbeard the pirate, there she blows, there she blows.
For Drew Brees, he blew his one shot at en
b C. So Drew Brees mentioned the Island Games in

(09:36):
this That was also annoying to me. In that social
media rant that I saw making the rounds, he talked
about the Island Games. He talked about Hey, Sunday night,
Monday night, Thursday night for his next gig. Now I'm
anti Drew Brees getting another chance. I thought he was boring.
I thought he was dull. I'm good. I don't need
to see him do anymore. But that being said, Okay,

(09:59):
if he he gets another chance, it shouldn't be on
Monday or Sunday or Thursday night. It won't be on
Sunday night because that's the NBC packaged. I'd be shocked
if they brought him back.

Speaker 1 (10:08):
It would be landlocked, as in, you got.

Speaker 2 (10:13):
To go to Fox or CBS and do the sixth
of the seventh game where you're being broadcast in Sheboygan,
and that's it.

Speaker 1 (10:21):
That is it. That's all.

Speaker 2 (10:23):
That's the only place you are they can hear you.
Maybe over at the cheesecastle, that's about it.

Speaker 1 (10:29):
But that's all. You got.

Speaker 2 (10:30):
All right, work your way up, pay your dues. But
the jockocracy thing, you're given a job without being able
to prove you know how to do the job. And
if you make it, fine, you can keep the job.
But if you suck, they get rid of you and
you're done.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
That's it.

Speaker 2 (10:45):
And so he wasn't another opportunity, Well, okay, he should
have taken advantage of the first one.

Speaker 1 (10:49):
Last thing.

Speaker 2 (10:49):
Here we go now to quarterback land in general, glowing
reports I've been reading just celebrating the Jimers out of
the couple of rookie quarterbacks here over the weekend, Drake
May and bow Nicks throwing rose pedals at these guys
from Foxborough to Denver, Colorado. So what is your verdict

(11:13):
on this one?

Speaker 1 (11:13):
What is your verdict on this one?

Speaker 2 (11:14):
So, as my guy Mike Harmon would say this is
a swollen dome situations.

Speaker 5 (11:19):
What this is.

Speaker 2 (11:20):
You've got Sean Payton, head coach of the Broncos, who
pumps his chest out about bow knicks, throwing the ball
extremely well and was shocking. So you picked the quarterback
in the first round of the draft and he's throwing
the ball well, not going against defense. Okay, that's a

(11:40):
wild take. I understand. Sean Payton is full of hubris.

Speaker 5 (11:45):
I get it.

Speaker 2 (11:45):
He's got to be the smartest guy in the room.
He hasn't looked very smart with the Broncos so far.
Now in New England it's a similar concept, although without
the giant personnelity. Gerrod Mayo does not have these same
arrogance that Sean Payton has. He might get there at
some point, he's not there right now. But in New
England it's the new regime who are pulling muscles, patting

(12:09):
themselves on the back, praising Drake may.

Speaker 1 (12:12):
For progressing quicker than expected.

Speaker 2 (12:14):
And I saw one story that was just slobbering all
over that Nee pads on about how elite his accuracy
was downfield and the ability to go through the progressions
and no panic and all this stuff and in my head,
I'm screaming. I was like, hello, I mean, he's not
going against anyone who's trying to take his head off.
It's that self congratulatory mumbo jumbo, and it's for the

(12:38):
low information fan. They eat this kind of stuff up
the fan. That's a box of rocks. But I'd like
to think that you listen to the show and you're
maybe you're not the genius of the room, but you're
not the dumbest person either. Right, You're somewhere in the middle,
Like I'm somewhere in the middle too. But you can
make no conclusions. If there's one thing I've learned from

(12:59):
my years of doing this and analyzing quarterbacks and players
in the draft, you can make no rock solid conclusions
either way based on a player sucking like Caleb Williams
did in Chicago, some practices he didn't look very good in,
or players that supposed to look great based on OTAs.
This is cotton candy at the county fair. It's cotton

(13:23):
candy at the State Fair. It's cotton candy.

Speaker 1 (13:25):
It's light, fluffy and sugary, is what it is. Now.

Speaker 2 (13:29):
We'll see how these guys handle when they start having
to eat a steak well done, and they have a
butter knife and not a steak knife.

Speaker 1 (13:36):
We'll see how they handle it. We're not there yet.
We're not.

Speaker 2 (16:09):
When you're talking about that's his collection, he's gonna want
us to send you this question. Did you see that
video clip of the bark at the park at Dodger Stadium?

Speaker 1 (16:17):
So this is crazy? Looks so fine.

Speaker 8 (16:19):
I have two dogs and I cannot imagine them taking
to the ballpark. I just think they would be completely
out of control.

Speaker 2 (16:25):
How much how much urine and dog food was out
in that section at Dodger Stadium.

Speaker 8 (16:29):
Yeah absolutely, I mean it sounds like a fun idea
and then you actually do it and you're like, oh
my god, this is what a mistake.

Speaker 1 (16:35):
This was everyone pulling their dog up like that. I
know these are big dogs too.

Speaker 8 (16:41):
I guess if you had a really well trained dog,
But those aren't. Those are not my dogs.

Speaker 1 (16:46):
Yeah, like Moxie eats everything. My dog, Moxi o youth.
Choose on all the fra I'll be out there.

Speaker 2 (16:52):
Furnitures I got, we gotta throw it away, choose, choose
everything out I got covers, they eat the cover.

Speaker 1 (16:57):
I went that dog with anything.

Speaker 9 (16:59):
Can How many dogs had their very first Dodger Glizzy
at the park. How amazing, I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 (17:09):
Dodger dog Dodger Glizzy. Duh wow unpopular opinion. The Dodger
dog not that great. I love Dodger not that good.

Speaker 9 (17:20):
This is what I told her that ever since they
changed it.

Speaker 1 (17:23):
Yeah, the Dodger dog used to be pretty good, not anymore.
And sock in your mouth.

Speaker 2 (17:27):
No, no, yeah, I've been around. I've been to different ballpark,
like the Finway Frank beats the Dodger dog. Then the
top dog is the monster dog of Finway.

Speaker 3 (17:35):
That well, maybe I need to go to every park
around the world and all.

Speaker 9 (17:38):
The dogs because it used to be Farmer John and
now it's not right Armber John.

Speaker 2 (17:42):
No, it's just a generic brand that. Yeah, they lost
the deal. But Cleveland has good hot dogs too, about that.
Good hot dogs in Cleveland. And I was at the
World Series there years ago. And it was really cold
and snowy, and I used the hot dogs as handwarmers
and I'd hold one in each hand and.

Speaker 1 (17:57):
I'd warm warm my hands that way, really hot. Uh,
you know, wieners.

Speaker 8 (18:01):
It was.

Speaker 1 (18:02):
It was wonderful. So anyway, let's go to the phones.

Speaker 2 (18:03):
We'll take your calls if you would like to be
part speakeasy rules in effect.

Speaker 1 (18:10):
And we'll say hello to his Uncle Mos still there?
He's not there? Is he did he go as Uncle Mose?

Speaker 2 (18:16):
He was on hold earlier, but he, much like the
New York Rangers, he had to exit early too soon.

Speaker 1 (18:22):
And all right, let's say hello to Enie Meanie Mighty Moe.

Speaker 2 (18:31):
El greco is in Cansauh City.

Speaker 1 (18:35):
Hello, el Greco, Hey.

Speaker 10 (18:38):
Good morning guys, Colli Mara. How's everything going over there
in Los Angeles?

Speaker 2 (18:42):
If I was any better, I'd be a royal, But
not in Kansas City, rold because Eddie Garcia does not
believe in the Kansas City Royals at all.

Speaker 10 (18:48):
Yes, so that's the thing. What's the deal with this
royals hate? Mister Garcia?

Speaker 1 (18:56):
It's it's hate. It's absolutely don't listen to Ben's propaganda hate.

Speaker 10 (19:00):
Did Eric Cosmer in your cheerios when he was there
for a day or two.

Speaker 5 (19:04):
Well, if he did, then I definitely wouldn't be giving
the scores.

Speaker 2 (19:07):
I mean, that's asable, No, greg O, is a big
story locally in Kansas City that Eddie Garcia disrespects your
your team.

Speaker 1 (19:15):
Is that correct?

Speaker 10 (19:16):
Well, I would think so. I mean I'm talking about it. Yeah,
hell yeah, I mean I know.

Speaker 8 (19:20):
Do you really want to, you know, celebrate win over
the padre excited.

Speaker 1 (19:25):
The pod squad? Come on?

Speaker 10 (19:27):
My My question is is just you know, these are
the lovable Royals. They don't well, they don't pose a
threat to most people unless we're in the World's.

Speaker 5 (19:40):
Very interesting, though. They need to pose a threat that
they make that will make them more interesting.

Speaker 1 (19:45):
Gregor, you're approaching this the wrong way.

Speaker 2 (19:47):
Okay, you should point out that Kansas City is the
sports mecca because of the Chiefs, and the Royals play
in the same complex as the Chiefs. So by not
giving the Royal score disrespecting your disrespect, think that's the
Super Bowl champions. They share a parking lot, Eddie. At
that I've been there at that venue. My right out,

(20:08):
greco am, I.

Speaker 10 (20:09):
Right, come on, they share a parking lot that's right.

Speaker 2 (20:12):
And Eddie, you're you're you're disrespect and the ben mallor
chicken fingers at the landing in Kansas City and Liberty, Missouri,
which is right near the ballpark. My right out, Greco, am,
I right, come.

Speaker 10 (20:22):
On you, you are right exactly. All I want to
say is this, The Royals definitely are gonna make noise
for the rest of the year in the Al Central.

Speaker 2 (20:34):
They're gonna bang on. They're gonna make pots and pans, Eddie,
they gonna make noise. They're gonna bang Hey.

Speaker 10 (20:39):
Okay, Dodgers fans, come on, guys. We're playing the Dodgers
here in a little bit, so get ready, Eddie.

Speaker 8 (20:48):
First of all, I'm not a Dodger fan, so I
don't care. They're playing the Guardians next. That will be
in my Games of Note.

Speaker 2 (20:54):
He's promising it'll be in his Games of Note. Okay, Greco,
and you better listen. If he doesn't mention it, we will.

Speaker 9 (21:00):
Absolutely And Bobby Witt Junior is gonna win m v P.

Speaker 10 (21:04):
So that's what Bobby with Bobby Baseball and Mark show.

Speaker 1 (21:11):
Okay, take you. That was I was unexpected.

Speaker 5 (21:15):
Now I'm really glad I did not give the Royal scar.

Speaker 1 (21:18):
No, I'm happy. I'm happy with that.

Speaker 2 (21:20):

sort of a show about, uh, you know, Cleveland sports,

you know, seventeen games, So you can do the seventeen games,
and that's.

Any advice to Jimmy Donovan he might be listening right
now on how to enjoy retirement?

Speaker 11 (22:31):
Well, you know, I think he might do some. I'd
like to see him do the cover analyst on the
on the Indians games. I think he would be good.
But he was always He did the games back remember
when I was in colleague, he did them on NBC.
But he's he's a legend up there. He's you know,

(22:52):
it's funny. I they used to have the End Zone
Show on Monday's and Thursday's.

Speaker 2 (22:59):
Uh.

Speaker 11 (22:59):
It was on Fox Sports, and they had Tony Grosie
and what Doug Deacon. He was one of my favorites.
He retired, but I always would be about the Second
Calder and he always would say, well, let's get happy now,
we'll go down to Dayton and talk to Dick. And
they just I don't know, they just always took my call.

based on the nerd stats which we love so much,
the Pittsburgh Pirates are the collective war wins of blood replacement.

had just had guys out of the Mexican League Getty,
they're zero point eight. They're a collective war, which is
