haha between Pete Carroll versus Jim Harbaugh the rivalry they
played each other this weekend on Monday Night. Also, what
is your reaction to Mike McDaniels Dolphins, the hipster coach,

(00:22):
his team already holding a player's only meeting in South

Also the fifth hour podcast, But here's our three of
the radio show.

Speaker 1 (00:45):
It's Pete's Place is what it is?

Speaker 2 (00:47):
Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben
Mather Show. We are in the a evy where literally
bloviating here, there and everywhere as we sculpt away and

(01:08):
we are flexing and vexing coast to coast, border to
border and beyond on the vast and bodaciously powerful microphones

Speaker 2 (02:02):
So this is a story I did not anticipate that
I would be talking about when I woke up. It's
one of the cool things about the job. Sometimes people
will say, well, how do you talk about sports? The
same stuff every day? I'm like, well, I do talk
about plausibly. I talk about sports, but it's changing. It's
always new stuff and the storylines change and so it

(02:22):
keeps it fresh.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
And our lead is from.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
Viva Las Vegas and NFC West Bloodbath.

Speaker 1 (02:30):
Well, it's a bad blood matchup if you will here
coming up.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
It's on Monday night, on Monday Night, and there's some
audio which is really good.

Speaker 1 (02:39):
Now.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
The underlying storyline is Pete Carroll and Jim Harbaugh going
against each other as coaches Pete Carroll now with the
Raiders and Jim Harbaugh and year number two with.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
The the Chargers. So they have been.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
Rivals going way back, college football rivals, NFL ry and
they face.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
Off again this week.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
And so, as you might expect, they were asked about
each other. And normally the proper decorum is to give
some cliche. And I really respect what the other coach
has done. That's a good football coach and it's great
to compete against that coach.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
And that's it.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
You're generally not supposed to tell the truth. It's part
of the job. But at some point you get so
old you lose your filter a little bit. I present
to you now the head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders,
Pete Carroll, commenting you hear the question he was asked
about the rivalry with Jim Harbaugh. And let's just say
Pete did not give the cliche answer.

Speaker 1 (03:44):
Let's go to the audio tape.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
Well, I'm not trying to make it anything that's not,
but what's your fondest memory of this rivalry with Jim Harbam?

Speaker 3 (03:50):
I remember Jim, No, I have no fund members of
I'm not gonna good there's great games so it's been
great games, that's all.

Speaker 2 (03:57):
You said that a bunch of them, you guys in
different life, could have been great teammates.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
When he said something like that, what is.

Speaker 3 (04:04):
That, Well, I think that would come from the you know,
he's seen my game, and so he would like me
to help him win, you know, if I could, and
so he'd likes to play together, I guess. But one
thing we would certainly see id eye on is about compete.
He's always been a great competitor, and he battled through
so much when his playing days and and his coaching
days as well. So I appreciate him saying that because

(04:25):
I'd like to play with him too.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
He said, he said that you're not on each other's
Christmas he's not on your Christmas car list.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
Do you expect a birthday card from him?

Speaker 3 (04:32):
Then, well, I'm surprised he would say that, because he
sends me a birthday every card every week every year.
So I don't know what to tell you.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
He screwed up the line he said every week, and
it would have been a good line, but just screwed
that up.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
All right, So let us discuss the question you just
heard the audio tape.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
What is your takeaway from Pete Carroll saying, I have
no fond memories of the Jim Harbaugh rivalry. So I've
got preparation, cockroach and tights, and we will combine all
of these things together and we're gonna make together the
baba Ganooche. We're gonna make the Babaganoos. Now, first of all,

(05:11):
I love this story.

Speaker 1 (05:12):
I do.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
This is two guys who are not shaking hands at
the country club. They're not hanging out having cocktails. This
is Pete Carroll on one side, chomping his gum, flashing
his electric Hollywood smile, playing Prince CHARMI because that's what
Pete Carroll does the debonair Pete Carroll. And then you've

(05:35):
got Jim Harbaugh on the other side, who's in the
shadows and he's got the trench coat on.

Speaker 1 (05:40):
He's like waiting to stick the dagger. Pick the dagger
right there.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
And Pete Carroll essentially told you without telling you when
he said, hey, I have no fond memories. He's saying
I need some preparation. That's not preparation for the game
against the Chargers. The Raiders coach. Pete Carroll essentially saying,
I need some preparation, h because Jim Harball is like hemorrhoids,
and I got a guy gotta go against this guy twice.

(06:05):
So it's like having hemorrhoids twice. And so Pete Carroll
versus Jim Harball, the football version of the United States
versus the Soviets back in the day, mutual disdain, proxy battles.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
Through the media.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
They've been at this since the USC Stanford days, back
when sc was a juggernaut and they were the only.

Speaker 1 (06:25):
Game in town. In the mid two thousand.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
Jim Harball goes for two. If you remember, to humiliate
Pete Carroll when he was coaching at Stanford and it
was very embarrassing. And so Pete Carroll's kind of like
in this one, he's like Ronald Reagan smiling for the cameras.
Mister Gorbachev tear down that wall, right, that whole thing.
And then Hardball is more like the Russians. You know,

(06:48):
he's pounding the shoe on the table screen and we
were better at you you know, and all that, and
so that's that's how that's going. And that was carried
right into the NFL. We had the Seahawks in the
forty nine NFC West that was more like.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
The Berlin Wall.

Speaker 2 (07:03):
Pete Carroll's whole deal is three things, charisma, charm and
raw ra Charisma, charm and raw raw And it never
worked on Jim Harball though. He needed to go into
the Sorcerer's workshop and figure something out, because Harball's plan
on coaching is just chaos.

Speaker 1 (07:22):
He's the human mosquito, He's the.

Speaker 2 (07:24):
Wedgie guy in the locker room. He'll poke and prod
until you snap. And Pete Carroll trying to run a
pep rally while Jim Harball is in the back of
the room there and I was setting off firecrackers and
all that. And to me, that's why this seems legit.
You know, today's NFL. We complain all I sit here
and complain every night, and you listen to this nonsense
where there's these rivalries and they're they're faux rivalries. They're

(07:47):
fake rivalries, they're not real. His guys share financial advisors,
they sip Johnny Walker blue with the same high falute
and bars and restaurants and speakeasies, and they vacation on
the same yachts in the South of France.

Speaker 1 (08:01):
That's not a rivalry. That's winetasting. This is the modern NFL.

Speaker 2 (08:06):
Is Josh Allen working out with a divisional rival quarterback
in Drake May. That's your modern NFL. What this is
is old school, It's from the old country. It's Pete
Carroll saying, man, this guy has been shadowing me, this
f and Jim Harball twenty years. This aa hole is
bothering me. And so they're not going wine tasting together.

(08:29):
They're not, and so it's just different. Twenty years is
a good amount of time, and for Pete's sake, it's
one of the last authentic grudges in sport.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
Again, two decades. This has been going on two decades,
all right now.

Speaker 2 (08:44):
Secondly, Miami, Miami, Miami, and go to Miami, and.

Speaker 1 (08:49):
I do love a good dumpster fire.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
Our in depth team coverage continues about the sad sack
Miami Dolphins, and it gets even better.

Speaker 1 (08:56):
Every day is a new revelation. So the Dolphins, we
learned held a player's only meeting this week. Of course
they did.

Speaker 2 (09:05):
So what is your reaction to Mike McDaniels Dolphins already
already holding a player's only meeting. It's week number two,
So what is your reaction. So my reaction is, I've
got four words. The ship be sicking. Those are the

(09:27):
four That's.

Speaker 1 (09:27):
One of the great quotes.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
It's an old NBA quote from a Knickerbocker back in
the early eighties.

Speaker 1 (09:32):
The ship be sicking. So players only meetings.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
Let me get on my soapbox here and we'll play
soapbox racers.

Speaker 1 (09:40):
And I will wax poetic.

Speaker 2 (09:42):
I'll give a sermon about how ridiculous players only meetings
are players only meetings at professional sports. It is the
cockroach of the professional sports industrial complex. You can't kill it.
Every time a team, every single time a team looks
like they're circling the drain, some one pipes up and says,
I know it's gonna fix this. We need a player's

(10:04):
only meeting. We whoop, d damn dow. It's the fungus
of football. It's what it is. It grows in the dark,
it stinks, and it never goes away.

Speaker 1 (10:17):
And the reason these are so ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (10:19):
You never ever hear ever a team say, hey, we
were off to a four and zero start, and the
quarterback says, you know what, quarterback's playing well, defense is
playing well. Why don't we hold a player's only meeting.
Why not, it doesn't happen. It only pops up when
the season is already going into the limbo. How low

(10:41):
can you go? They're going to the limbo contest. And
if you're intellectually honest, it is the biggest placebo in sports.
And I've ranted about this for years. I'll continue to
rant around about this as long as they give me
access to these microphones.

Speaker 1 (10:54):
Because it's it's so stupid.

Speaker 2 (10:57):
The closed doors, the no code, which is it is
just us. The part that kills me is that these
Jabbronis spend every waking moment together. They're in the facility
more than they see their wives, their kids, their dogs.
They sit in film sessions together, they sit in the

(11:19):
locker room, they have meals together. They travel together planes,
trains and automobiles. And if you have something to say,
I say it. You don't need to schedule a meeting.
It just turns into theater.

Speaker 1 (11:33):
It's all it is.

Speaker 2 (11:34):
It's for media consumption. Again, there's a lot of low
information fans. I'm not saying you're one of these people.
Just think about your job, assuming you have one. I
know in my job there have been different bosses I've
had over the years, and there have been some bosses
that will inevitably call a meeting for the staff, and

(11:55):
normally what will happen is we will all get together
and we'll all.

Speaker 1 (11:58):
Be in agreement.

Speaker 2 (11:59):
Okay before the meeting, no one asks any questions, just
listen and nod and that's it. And there's always that
one schmuck, that dingleberry that has to try to suck
up to the boss that ends up asking questions and
then the boss gets upset and says, okay, now somebody else,

(12:20):
no other questions, and then they get offended.

Speaker 1 (12:22):
Now in sports, just.

Speaker 2 (12:23):
Say, well, there's no boss, the coaches aren't there, it's
only the players and all that. But the same concept applies,
because someone's going to say, I'm the.

Speaker 1 (12:31):
Captain of the team, right, I'm gonna hold the meeting.

Speaker 2 (12:34):
And then there's never be going to be some other
a hole that wants to flex their power some hard. Oh,
and then they want to start talking, and everyone just
get gets annoyed and they start bothering you, They start.

Speaker 1 (12:45):
Annoying each other and the whole thing, and you shut
the door.

Speaker 2 (12:47):
Everyone acts like it's some sacred intervention that takes place
and when really it's just a bunch of dudes venting
about effort. If they're even doing that, it's a corporate
trust falls, shoulder.

Speaker 1 (13:00):
Pads and all this.

Speaker 2 (13:01):
It's it's less raw raw team unity and more like
when management tells tells us to have a brainstorming session,
come up with some new ideas, you know, PowerPoint this,
it's due on Friday, and the whole thing nothing changes.
So what did Miami really accomplish? The Dolphins Nothing. They

(13:22):
are still stuck with TUA one read toa. They've got
Mike McDaniel, who again sounds like he's stoned all the time.
You've got the defense that might as well put out
welcome matts.

Speaker 1 (13:35):
Olay, Holy holy ole. They are mad ators, the Dolphins defense,
they really are.

Speaker 2 (13:40):
The only thing eight players only meeting guarantees is that
the season.

Speaker 1 (13:44):
Is already in decline. You suck. It's def Con two.
All right.

Speaker 2 (13:49):
Final thought, interesting story out of Cleveland, the marketing maven of.

Speaker 1 (13:54):
The Cleveland Browns.

Speaker 2 (13:55):
I know that strip Club John and Cleveland's gonna love this,
and our friend Dick and Dayton as well, But we're
hearing now that rookie Schadur Sanders the marketing maven number
five in the NFL and Jersey sales. Schadur Sanders has
become Juasey Moto in Cleveland. He's become a bystander in

(14:18):
the Browns quarterback room. Now we knew he was the
third string quarterback, but now it's gotten even worse.

Speaker 1 (14:23):
Now it's gotten even worse. Have you heard the latest
on this? You have not? Okay? So the word on
the street is that Shadur Sanders.

Speaker 2 (14:29):
Is not not only not any higher than third string,
he's getting no reps, none on the practice squad as
a scout guy, meaning the third string quarterback normally runs
the scout team.

Speaker 1 (14:45):
He's not even running the scout team.

Speaker 2 (14:47):
Instead, Bailey Zappi, Yes, that guy, Bailey Zappi, who just arrived.

Speaker 1 (14:52):
A couple of weeks ago to Cleveland.

Speaker 2 (14:54):
Bailey Zappi has already played leap frog and jumped over
Shadur Sanders as the scout team quarterback. So let's talk
about this one. The question, Shauldur Sanders not even running
the brown scout team.

Speaker 1 (15:09):
Can you unscramble what this one means?

Speaker 2 (15:13):
So it means that really Shoulder is not QB number three.
He's really like QB number four that he's buried behind
Joe Flacco, Dylan Gabriel and now you can add Zappi.
So this is not about development. This is a remake
of an old HBO show Six Feet under the Brown Saw.

(15:34):
Shaudur Sanders could sit on his astering practice like any
other fan and they basically said, hey, kid, enjoy the
view and knock yourself out forget quarterback depth chart. Shoulders
closer to joining the Spirit Squad at this particular point,
Like somebody ought to go out and get him some
tights so he can do a little cosplay as Brownie

(15:56):
the Elf, because at least then he's on the field
doing something for Cleveland, like the Zappie fevers arrived, and
now Shaudur is even further away from playing, Like that's
the last, the last thing you want on your resume.
You have been usurped by Bailey Zappi, the latest stiff
to beat out Shader Sanders and just slap a name

(16:19):
tag on him at this point and stick him on,
you know, stick him in the team store and it's like, hey,
I'm I'm Sudur, manager of the official Cleveland Browns Pro Shop.
Can I interest you in some apparel here. I've got
my jersey over there. I've got some other merch over there.
I've got some fangear, and he's like a shopkeeper. But
I think the Elf outfit would be good at least

(16:40):
then he would get on the field like that would
be a way for him to interact on the field
and be Brownie the Elf.

Speaker 1 (16:47):
And I want to thank to listen. I don't know
who sent this, but I.

Speaker 2 (16:49):
Did get a Brownie the Elf hat I'd lost that
I had that hat, I lost it, and a listener
without even signing their name or telling me. I didn't
get an email or anything from anybody, just they sent
that randomly.

Speaker 1 (17:00):
I do. I do appreciate it because it's really ugly,
really ugly.

Speaker 2 (17:05):
Oh I think I heard I heard a voice in
my head tell me who it might be, But I
do think that that person. I don't know if they
want credit, so I don't know if I should give
them credit or not, but it did. It was very kind,
very kind anyway. It is The Ben Mahllor Show as
we are settling into hour three now. Later this hour,

weirdos and scuba gear and kayaks and all that crap.

(25:22):
So hopefully they'll get some good o Tani Bets, Freeman, Muncie,

the Dodgers have been bipolar. Here they playing at better now,
but they're they're not consistent. They're up and down.

Speaker 9 (25:42):
They have it.

Speaker 8 (25:43):
But you know what, man, they got the heart of
a championship, a champion I should say they got.

Speaker 6 (25:49):
They don't play like it.

Speaker 8 (25:50):
Sometimes they play like they're in the Little League World Series.
But you know, I have faith in the guys. Hey,

Worst call of the I know Poppy seems to have
that wrapped up, but I mean that we have so
many terrible phone calls. Let's go to Mike the Leprecaun. Hello,
Mike the Leprecaun.

Speaker 6 (27:09):
Welcome Mike, speaking of bad color. Good morning, mister Marconi.
How are you well.

Speaker 2 (27:17):
I'll give you credit that you do know your place
in the solar system, so I will, I will, I
will give you credit for that.

Speaker 6 (27:24):
Yes, I'm not a cool kid. I wasn't at the
cool killed table. In fact, I was one of the
ugly ducklings. And my chicken is a spring chicken. Yes,
I will give you my picks eventually.

Speaker 1 (27:38):
Is your chicken? Is your chicken?

Speaker 2 (27:39):
Offended that Poppy does not eat poultry, apparently, and decided
to ignore your chicken in a segment that he said
was designed to pick games against a rubber chicken, and
then proceeded to not include the rubber chicken.

Speaker 6 (27:59):
So well, okay, I'm not he's not offended. My chicken
had six skin, and I'm glad that Poppy is a vegan.
I have a poppy joke. Field was Poppy wants wins
Vegas and he was active leave the casino. Do you
know why?

Speaker 4 (28:15):
I do not know it?

Speaker 1 (28:16):
I do not.

Speaker 6 (28:17):
They said he had a chip on his shoulder.

Speaker 2 (28:19):
Oh my god, yes, okay, you you know we're on
the air, dude, I mean, what are you doing. There's
actually not many listening, but you are yes.

Speaker 6 (28:32):
Nine to eleven was yesterday, and there's a fire up
here in Woolster called the Worcester six. It was a
year before nine to eleven, and my cousin, Jeremiah Lucy
was one of those. Second cousin was one of those
who died, and coincidentally I found out that he's related
to Dennis Series, the actor. Here's my picks.

Speaker 2 (28:52):
Okay, all right, just a quick mention now we get
to the picture. Okay, I got you. Yes, absolutely, why
now this is just what we want. A rubber chicken
is now going to pick NFL games.

Speaker 1 (29:03):
Here we go. This is excepting bad.

Speaker 2 (29:06):
Just when you thought the Ben Malor Show could not
reach a new low.

Speaker 1 (29:09):
Here we are.

Speaker 6 (29:12):
That'll end it them. Actually, but anyway, the duck, the
rubber chicken picks the Chiefs. Okay, the rubber not the rubber.
The rubber chicken picks the Vikings, and the rubber Chicken
is going against the odds and picking the Pitchers. They're
both bad teams, but the pass are less.

Speaker 2 (29:31):
Bad than well, both bad teams. With the rubber Chicken
lives in Patriot Territory.

Speaker 1 (29:38):
So that's that's what that's about.

Speaker 6 (29:41):
You know what I need for the weekend. I need
a push.

Speaker 2 (29:44):
You need that you might I'm not going to give
you a toush push, but somebody else you can have
to pay someone to give you.

Speaker 6 (29:51):
Come on, tell him Sason. I'll do a literation a
D D D D A dead Duck Dynasty defteener because everybody,
all right, all.

Speaker 1 (30:00):
Right, thank you, I gotta go. I have to go
stare at a wall. Thank you. I'm so happy, so happy. Well.

Speaker 2 (30:07):
One of the great drops that we've had on this show.
It's we don't play it much anymore. But this guy
named Mike Gundhy at Oklahoma State years ago, and some
writer in Oklahoma City wrote a column ripping one of
the players in Oklahoma State, and Mike Gundy came out
and said, oh oh man, I'm forty, come after me
right this whole ram so things are after.

Speaker 10 (30:30):
An athlete, one of my athletes.

Speaker 1 (30:32):
That's right.

Speaker 10 (30:32):
You go after one that doesn't do the right things.

Speaker 2 (30:36):
You don't downgrade him because he does everything right, and
now you're not play as well on Saturday.

Speaker 10 (30:41):
And you let us make that decision. That's why I
don't read the newspaper because it's garbage and the editor
but let it come out. Is garbage attacking an amateur
athlete for doing everything.

Speaker 1 (30:55):
Right, going up to the crescendo here, and you want to.

Speaker 10 (30:59):
Write articles about guys that don't do things right and
down Graham the ones that do make place? Are you
kidding me? Where are we at in society today?

Speaker 1 (31:08):
Come after me?

Speaker 10 (31:10):
I'm a man, I'm forty. Yeah, I'm not a kid
at me.

Speaker 1 (31:16):
Yeah. Well, things are not going well.

Speaker 2 (31:18):
Oklahoma State fans have launched they go fund me to
buy out the contract of Mike Gundhy. And it says, uh,
for less than the price of a typical game ticket,
they can get enough money to buy out Mike Gundhy
if everyone just skips in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma State game
and they send the money in, they want to pay for.

Speaker 1 (31:41):
The coach to go away.

Speaker 2 (31:42):
So good times, good times there for sure. It is
the Ben Mather Show. We've got big Ben's laying jokes

a row that you've had.

What they've both gotten used to being in the dark.
That's Eric in Kansas. Did you hear the blind Scott
had to return his Ai sex doll for being defective? Yeah,
