Jumbled slides transform into a polished keynote, and that midterm assignment gets a lot less mid. Because the road to great ideas is littered with bad ones. You just have to keep going until something clicks.

It's our number two. And how do you do? Yes, right. Here on the Ben Mather show, what do you take away from the Raiders naming Kirk Cousins QB1 over Fernando Mendoza? Yikes, what an embarrassment for that top pick in the 2026 draft. All that high Mr. College football and the guy got beat out by a 38-year-old washed up Kirk Cousins. Holy crap on a cracker. House suspicious is the timing of these lane-kiffin stories out of an upcoming book dropping right before his first game at LSU.

3:02And then shortly after that LSU playing Old Miss is Old School. Also, which is more ridiculous LSU using former NFL players or the attorney general of Georgia threatening to kick LSU out of the southeastern conference. We'll discuss all of that. That's actually happening. I know it sounds ridiculous, but we'll tell you right now. Here it is our number two. Well, it has been said over the years that many who go to Vegas do not end up winning. There is another example of that, a very prominent example of that. Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mather show. We are in the air, ever re-aware. Just some ordinary people.

4:02Yeah, that's it. We're just on a journey into the world of words. A lot of words. We love our words. We certainly do. Coast to coast, border to border and beyond on the vast end. Candidly powerful microphones of FSR emanating live from the climate. As we undergo sports climate change on a nightly basis every hour on the hour. Get wrong, teed human from the world famous Fox Sports Radio studios where Sean the Hood guy. Jerome and Charleston bring it home. Jerome and Gunner from Minnesota.

Don Te out there at the liquor store. He's getting up created over to the circus. You're going to have a job over there. And we're happy for Don Te. So the news out, the Raiders have made a decision. And that is our lead this hour. The Raiders officially naming the Rodding Carcass of Kirk Cousins as QB number one. And he will begin the season beating out beating out the top pick in the 2026 NFL draft for Nando, Mendoza.

6:11And as he will be sitting that one out of you saw this or not, perhaps you missed it. Mendoza, all that hype and I mentioned how embarrassing this was for Mendoza when he was not getting the first team reps in training camp. And how that was a joke. And of course the Raider fan base, some of them not the brightest, got very upset, very upset and very emotional. And they get it, you know, been kicked in the ankles quite a bit over the years. And this is another kick in the ankles. Although all that losing, all that tanking for this guy. Really? So first year coach, you all tell me this guy's a prodigy, Clint Cubiak. We'll see about that. Well Cubiak said that Cousins played really good football and had a strong off season in training camp and earned it. Of course, A, no one watches training camp or off season workouts. So who cares about that?

7:11And playing really good football under what measurement was he playing really good football? Anyway, it's all a good jumping all point. Let us discuss the question. What do you make? What do you make and what do you take away from the Raider's naming Kirk Cousins as their top Cubi over for Nando Mendoza. Cousins gets that Cubi one title. My observations, I've got mega mansion, Glenn Ivy Hot Springs and Mason Jar. And we'll put all of these things together. And we're going to turn on the chainsaw. It's what we're going to do. So number one, number one, number one, number one, number one, number one. Let me be very clear for those of you in the back of the room. You ask me, what do you take away from the Raider's naming Kirk Cousins over for Nando Mendoza's the starting quarterback? This is a pure humiliation situation for the Raiders.

8:12And there's no other way to look at this. No other, unless you're wearing your Raider one Z, that's it. And your little Raider's Cippie Cup, you don't spend a year intentionally losing like the Raiders did last year, tanking a season away to get the top pick in the draft. The number one overall pick for Nando Mendoza. And then discover, well wait a minute, assembly required. No, no, no, there's no assembly required with the top pick in the draft. You're supposed to be, Mendoza's supposed to be a plug-and-play. Apparently the plug wasn't included. They bought it on T-Moo. They should have bought it on Amazon. Bad job by them. The Raiders just wasted a season of football to draft a developmental quarterback. And many of you seem perfectly fine with that, which tells me you're not that bright. I get it, I understand. You do not draft a project at number one.

9:14You don't do it. This is like buying the most expensive mega mansion. So you can brag to all your friends. I'm telling you, the nicest mega mansion, the most bathrooms, the most bedrooms. It's got the biggest pool on the block. It's the greatest mega mansion. Everyone's impressed. They look at it like, oh my god. And then you go in there and you realize, wait a minute, I need to call Roto Router. Well, why do you need to call Roto Router? Because the plumbing isn't hooked up. Well, why is the plumbing not hooked up? I don't know, but it looks nice on the outside. Remember Indiana's gonna run there to the title? God. You guys, even Jim Marcus Russell started week one for the old Oakland Raiders. You understand that? This is how embarrassing. He's not even as good as Jim Marcus Russell. Kirk Cousins won the job. That tells you infinitely more about Fernando Mendoza than it does about Kirk Cousins. The Raiders saying we're developing Mendoza is NFL code. It's a dog whistle for we really f this up.

10:16And this guy isn't anywhere close to being ready and might never be ready. If 38-year-old Captain Kirk, and I like the ice career and all that, it's been good for business, sucking in every primetime game. The good thing about playing for the Raiders, you don't have to worry about primetime games very often. Captain Kirk, at this point, after three stink bomb seasons. Vikings didn't want him back. Falcons kicked him out of town. In fact, the moment he got to Atlanta, they drafted a quarterback because they knew he couldn't play. And the better option in September is Kirk Cousins. And okay, so Mendoza was overdrafted in April. That's what that means. That's it. All right, page two. We now move to the fast lane. College football. A new excerpt that several of you sent below the Mason Dixon line my way. I think the book's called Lane being Lane. So the excerpts of the book made their way around the interweb.

11:16And it details Lane Kiffin, his years at Alabama when he was the Crimson Tide offensive coordinator for Nick Sabin. From 2014 to 2016. Now, a lot of this stuff popped up back in those days, but times, time flies by. And it's hard to believe it's been this long. Yet it has. So Lane Kiffins, wife and kids remained in California. All right. So his wife and kids were back in California. And let's just say Lane Kiffin decided he wanted to enjoy his life a little bit there in Tuscaloosa. And he enjoyed all the good bars in Tuscaloosa as the marriage went up and away. Yeah, I went sideways there. So in the book, Nick Sabin reportedly instructed one of the Alabama staffers to quote, just keep him away. Lane Kiffin away from the sorority girls former Alabama staffer. And the great name Josh Booty.

12:18Mr. Booty recalled that Lane Kiffin asked bar employees to introduce him to the hotties. And it's, you know, I think most men they go into a bar where the hotties act. Now, one friend feared that Lane Kiffin was such an alcoholic that he would drink himself to death and recall him crying over effing up his life. Now, there's also these excerpts of this book. Also, revisit one of the great internet stories. Those of you that are too young or didn't pay attention to the internet back then. The legendary Joey Freshwater. But of my favorite characters in college football history, if you've never heard of Joey Freshwater, that is the alias that Lane Kiffin supposedly, you see tonight it tend to think that there was a Joey Freshwater alias. Not quite as good as Ron Mexico. My favorite Atlanta Falcon quarterback, the great Ron Mexico. Anyway, all right. Now, let's get to the question.

13:18How suspicious is the timing of these Lane Kiffin stories right before college football and the first real opportunity for Lane Kiffin to show the world what he's like at LSU. And then eventually LSU plays Ole Miss here shortly. So how suspicious is the timing on this? So I looked at the Mallor Scorkard. This is what's called a CM situation calculated madness. And I do believe based on circumstantial evidence that this is a payback situation from Ole Miss with a dish best served, piping hot in Vanity Fair. Because this story's out of Vanity Fair. They ran a bunch of the excerpts of this upcoming Lane Kiffin book. And so it looks to me based on what I'm seeing here, like they're reheating decade old Joey Freshwater leftovers in a casserole in the microwave. And they're serving them up with an ice cold smear beer, a frosty mug of character assassination for Lane Kiffin.

14:28Yeah, these stories stem from Lane, the boozing era on a booze cruise for Lane during his Alabama days as we've talked about. But you do wonder how much Ole Miss helped roll down the manure wagon pushing it downhill there. Is it true that gilded boosters of Ole Miss helped grease the skids to ensure that the mud arrived just as LSU begins the 90 plus million dollar Lane Kiffin experience? Inquiring minds we'd like to know. So forget the mineral baths at Glen Ivy Hot Springs Lane went directly to Club Mud. He went over to Club Mud, Kiffin claiming that he's been sober since 2021 and right on cue despite that claim, right on cue, his poltergeist. The greatest hits album from his poltergeist here is back on the jukebox.

15:31So there you go, that's SEC, not Revenge porn. It's Revenge Theater at its finest. Now speaking of that, the gift that keeps on giving, staying in college football and this does involve Lane Kiffin and his need for professional football players on LSU. So the Georgia athletic director, actually not a lecture, the attorney general, that's a little higher than athletic director. The attorney general of Georgia, somebody named Chris Carr, I'm told, I don't live in Georgia and I don't know all my attorney general's. But this guy Chris Carr is urging the South Eastern Conference Commission, the SEC Commissioner Greg Sanky to use quote all measurable, all measures available, all measures available, including suspending or removing LSU from the conference. If the Tigers do use former NFL players, the attorney general in the state of Georgia is calling for the South Eastern Conference to ex communicate Louisiana state.

16:37Now, Carthreatened all legal means necessary, declaring, this is my favorite part, college athletes are for college athletes only. So he started laughing after that. Now the dispute centers on the former Ole Miss players, Lane Kiffin's old guys, Dequan Wright and Xavier Harris, who joined the NFL for training camp and then said, well, I kind of want to go back, I'll go play for Lane. Now, a Louisiana judge did rule that the South Eastern Conference cannot punish schools for using these players who return after signing NFL contracts. Of course, this will be appealed and go to a higher court and it'll go to a, likely a federal court. Now, the SEC penalties that they acclaim they're going to issue if you play one of these NFL guys is a half season coaching suspension. Lane's worth 50% of the sports annual budget and a loss of conference voting rights and also a partridge in a pair of tree.

17:40So the question, which is more ridiculous? LSU campaigning to use former NFL players and apparently going to court with Lane Kiffin being the ringleader or the attorney general of Georgia trying to get LSU kicked out threatening to kick LSU out of the court. So this is all encompassing Southern Fried football at its absolute grace. It's just different. Deep fried in Looney Tunes batter and here comes another political goober parachuting in from thousands of feet in the sky screaming about protecting the integrity of college sports. And so is LSU and coach Lane Kiffin really the great menace of Western civilization. At least they didn't use student athlete. They instead said college athletes or college athletics are for college athletes only.

18:40They're getting paid. It's semi professional football. Now what about Texas that is alignment Cole Hudson who returned for a fifth year after wearing NFL laundry. He was at rookie mini camp with the Browns and the Cowboys. And so I don't remember there being an emergency siren for that. I don't see that the whole Mason jar of moonshine. The whole Mason jar of moonshine is actually about the courts. It's not about the players. It's not about Lane Kiffin. It's about the courts. If LSU gets a judge to rule and confirm the original ruling these players are eligible. The southeastern conference can go pound sand with a rubber mallet. They can go try to treads the ocean. It doesn't matter. Conference rule books last I checked. And I'm never wrong about these things. Do not supersede court orders. Understand. Okay. So spare me the sanctimonious sermons. I don't like what LSU is doing in Lane Kiffin. I think it's rather silly.

19:49That said, if it is allowed by the court system, there's not much the SEC can do. And Georgia had a former player involved in a, well, they had a bunch of guys that were speed racing and the most famous, the fatal street car accident. I don't remember as many political grandstanding moments from people in Georgia over the sacred honor of playing on Saturday. So it's of course integrity based on the situation. In this case, it's just some political guy peaking around and trying to get some attention. And obviously it worked because here we are talking about it on the radio. So, so, Jolte has charged clearly. Absolutely. Is the Ben Mallor show. If you'd like to be part of you, talk about the sea a lot of you still want to get about the Clippers, you can get in last hour.

26:29feeling sick. She did not do that. And now she is suffering the effects of some kind of viral illness. Do you want to hear me blow my nose? I think I'm good. I think I'm good. Although there are some guys that would probably pay for that, but I am not one of those people. So I'm not not. When Cooper Loop is here at a Bronco fan, that's a Bronco fan.

And what is that all about? Well, you're going to find out. I know. It's very exciting. What could that tiger time be about? You have no idea. It's an amazing thing. I understand. Alright. What do we have on the X machine? Let's see here. I did see Super Mark Steve said that

27:32Shaquille O'Neal apparently said that when he got, he went to the Lakers, they got him not one, not two, but three movie roles as part of his deal. Well, that's one example. There have been some other examples where the Lakers were some funny business happen. But this, I think this just happens all the time in the NBA. And you know, for some reason, is that a little Weasel podcast guy got all upset and made, made a note of that. They made a big deal. But we'll see. We'll see what comes to this. I'm looking forward to. It's going to be a lot of fun. A lot of pillow, a couple hours, the, the clipper thing, lawsuits up the wazoo. And that's always good for business discovery is a wonderful thing. And I cannot wait to see all that. Femi, the top Uber Eats driver in Minnesota says, I will never forget the night in 2019 when the co-I trade of the clippers was announced. Big Ben was invited as a guest by the Jason Smith show. You were so excited like a giddy teenager. I don't know what you're talking about. I was totally professional. I have no idea what you're talking about. What else we have? The Baltimore free loader account,

28:34right? Since as I thought we might get a four hour clipper monologue tonight, bad job by me missing hour one. I think bomber. I think bomber ever charged Uncle Dennis for a meal and more importantly to make up the financial loss. Will he squeeze the media on food? And I don't, I don't think, I don't think that will. There's not enough media to make them any back. If there was, they would do it. Ryan in San Diego writes, he says, when I heard the news about the clippers today, Ryan in San Diego says, I just want to know who goofed I've got to know. I'll be Adam Silver. I was going to have the wrath of a fire breathing dragon. And as much fun as you want to make of Steve Balmer, at least he's not the, whoever that woman is, who bought the Padres Holy crap. My God. Michael in Torres batteries. That's a bad owner. So that seems like it's going to be right in the top five.

29:34Michael in Tulsa writes and says, Ben, my odds of college game day being in Oxford when LSU is at Mississippi on September 19th are just slightly lower than Anthony in Louisiana, giving a shout out to his cousin, Lorraine or Marcel in Brooklyn and the leper con not fighting. I don't know what you're talking about. How dare you? How dare you? How dare you? All right. What else do we have here? Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla. Boso, the district attorney says, Jacobi Bressette started over Drake May and May is rookie year. I think that sitting behind an experienced quarterback worked out pretty well for May and the Padres. Well, you're assuming the position Boso, because you're a Boso, that Drake May would not have been good anyway. This is always the false assumption that one makes that somehow sitting there and standing makes you a better player. That is a false assumption. It is a flaw in the human condition. That's the way

30:41it is. Absolutely. Shay writes and he says, at the intro of your show where the people are cheering and probably standing up with a thunderous ovation and so excited when your show is beginning, he says, is that real? Yes, we have a studio audience. Shay, I know you're not that smart. I realize that. You're on the dumb side, but we have a studio audience and they decide to cheer every hour. It's very kind of them to do that. I do appreciate it. I mean, they don't have to do it. They decide they would like to do it. Let's take some phone calls now. Let's say hello, eany, meany, mindy mole. Let's say hello to hollering James. Is hollering James in the hospital or is hollering James out of the hospital? Inquiry minds would like to know. Hello, James. They have released the beast and know he's not from the east. He's from the Midwest. Where is the best? We'd like to let all the affiliates know hollering James is on the prowl. hollering James is on the prowl.

31:46And he has a new number for 10 you Montana. If you want to take it down bed, you can give it to her. And she can call me personally. I will, I will, I will, how about this? I'll have a coupe get the number. And then if he does give it to me, sometimes I don't get the number. If he gives it to me, I will then pass it on to contact Tammy and send her the number. How about that? All right. That made you happy. Would that make you happy? Happy happy. That means you're happy in my hands. Not nappy. Okay. Right. What is the Adam man? Hey, how can we help you? What's going on with you? I got a take a good hot take. What do you think of the deal with the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Minnesota Vikings cutting Brad Max Browsemer? Am I saying the name right? Is it max? Mad Max? They brought him on the front line. He might be a gibberish and they kept a jury that Tammy and

32:48Montana sent me. They kept JJ McCarthy. Yeah. Yeah, they did. Well, why, why would you care about the quarterback? They're he wasn't good. So who cares? Brosner sucked. It doesn't matter. You have plenty of plenty of quarterbacks that sucked. You don't need another one that sucks. Yeah, but he doesn't. I don't think he did because he just gave it a chance. They were four quarterbacks. Yeah, that's good. How many quarterbacks do you play at one time, James? You play one quarterback at the time. Okay. Okay. So if you play one quarterback at a time, you got to understand Kyler is not a full quarter. He's half a quarterback. Kyler merged half quarterback. He's half there and then half the time his mind's poured about the latest video game, you know, whatever's out. Call of duty. So he's a video game. Hey, you know what? I think you know, Lorina, she gave the video game on porn and I have Kyler Murray play that. What are you talking about? What do you do games?

33:55That one. Look at the video games. I watch. There's porn video games. That's enough of James. All right. Thank you, James. All right. Jeez. No, James, that's just important. That's not a video game. Let's see. That's just a... All right, let's go now to the top connoisseur of barbecue food. If you ever want to know where to eat barbecue in Tucson, Arizona, at college town and desert Southwest, you have to ask Mike and Tucson. Hello, Mike and Tucson. Welcome. Hey, Ben. How you doing? All the things Kiffin talk, remind me of when he, when Al Davis, you didn't want to drive the Marcus Russell. He's a great quarterback. Get over it. But, man, those are taking a lot of heat, man. But he didn't play with the ones and I just think we're not the laughing stock of S.E. West, Ben. You just drafted a guy number one overall and he

34:58couldn't beat out Kirk Cousins. See, that's a laughing stock. That's a laughing stock. Well, Ben, you took a load management, the flaster. When I called, finally called in, but I was like, no, I did not take a load management. The company didn't get me a studio. I was supposed to do the show from Vegas. They didn't get me a studio. I couldn't, there were logistics there. Otherwise, I would have done the show. I'd fully prepared to do the show. No load management. That was power out of my control. I'd take it up with the company. I was ready to work. I was ready to go. Well, Ben, okay, to hear the auto-wind, you have the best voice, the auto-wind. You were the real, the real. The people, the customers always write, can you, Lorraine, can you find the auto-wind? Is a radar. Can you find that audio? Let's see if Lorraine can find it here. Sure, give me about 47 seconds. All right, you have to fill 47 seconds. What is your favorite lane, Kiffin, fired story? You have a favorite lane, I guess you're going with

36:03Al Davis when he had the news conference to explain how terrible Coach Lane Kiffin was. We now have it. Here we go. The auto-wind is a pirate blustering in from sea. With a rollicking song, he sweeps along, swaggering boisterously, his face is weather-beaten. He wears a hooded sash, where they silver a hat about his head and a bristling black mustache. That's pretty good, huh? Let me keep going. Yeah, go ahead, he runs the burrows as he storms the country, a villain big and bold, and the trees all shake and quiver and quake. As he robs them of their gold, the auto-wind is a radar, pillaging just for fun. He'll knock you around and upside down and laugh what he's conquered and won! He's playing football. Are you talking to someone else? I just played the stupid thing you wanted.

37:08What are you doing, Mike? Oh my god, hang up on me. What did he just got? He got bored? Wait a minute, he asked for this. Oh my god. I hung up on him. Has anyone had... I was just thinking about this. It's just popped into my head. I'm going to workshop this right now. Has there ever been a coach in modern times that has had more legendary removals of jobs than Lane Kiffin? I don't know. You remember Koot when he was a coach the Raider? I spent a long time. He was a young lad in 2007, but Lane Kiffin got let go and there was a public prosecution by Al Davis. It was a great... Lane accused him of insubordination, called him a flat out liar. It was hilarious. Al got up there, had the whole overhead projector. It was great. Then when he was at Tennessee, he was fired and there was a mob of people

38:08burning couches in the streets in Knoxville. They gathered around the complex and the streets were barricaded. Students were blocking exits. There were small fires. It was like a demilitarized zone in Knoxville when Tennessee, when Kiffin went off to USC. Then at SC, famously got fired on the tarmac. I got fired out of tarmac. The athletic director, Pat Hayden, told Kiffin he wanted to speak to him. When the team landed, I think they got smoked by Arizona State. They flew back to three in the morning and he got fired in a room at LAX. That was it. Then what happened at old miss? That's pretty good.
