- 3:30Speaker 2: Uncle Moe in Jersey very often. He used to be
- 3:32Speaker 2: in Brooklyn. He's over in Jersey now. And I think
- 3:35Speaker 2: the reason we don't hear from Uncle Mo so much
- 3:37Speaker 2: is because he wants a deal on gas. And it's me,

- 4:06Speaker 2: now we're gonna pause for the monologue. We'll get back
- 4:08Speaker 2: to the commercials.
- 4:08Speaker 1: All right, No, I'm kidding.
- 4:09Speaker 2: I love the commercial As I've often said, we don't
- 4:11Speaker 2: have enough commercials. My goal is to have this show
- 4:14Speaker 2: fifty nine minutes of commercials one minute of content. That's
- 4:18Speaker 2: what I would like. And I think we're getting close.
- 4:20Speaker 2: I think we're getting close. I'm very happy about that.
- 4:22Speaker 2: So our lead this hour is not from New York,
- 4:24Speaker 2: where the Knickerbockers were given the gift Christmas in June Hanuka.
- 4:30Speaker 2: In June, the Knicks down twenty nine points. They were
- 4:34Speaker 2: getting ready for their last rights in that game, and
- 4:36Speaker 2: then san Antonio said, let me just fuss around, start
- 4:39Speaker 2: shooting some three point shots, and they had the greatest
- 4:42Speaker 2: choke job in the history of basketball. What an accomplishment.
- 4:46Speaker 2: And Wemby's gonna be wearing that for a long time, long, long, long,
- 4:51Speaker 2: long long time. However, I mentioned Kansas City. So Patrick Mahomes,
- 4:58Speaker 2: who is the gold standard at quarterback in the NFL.
- 5:02Speaker 1: He has made some headlines here did you hear what
- 5:04Speaker 1: happened to him? You did not.
- 5:06Speaker 2: We learned that Mahomes and the Chiefs have agreed to
- 5:09Speaker 2: a reworked contract. We ties him to the team through
- 5:14Speaker 2: twenty thirty three. The total value of said contract now
- 5:18Speaker 2: five hundred and four million dollars, the first NFL contract
- 5:24Speaker 2: to exceed half a billion dollars. Yeah, Mahomes gets two
- 5:30Speaker 2: hundred and thirty nine million in new money, allegedly adds
- 5:34Speaker 2: two years on the previous deal. And so we can
- 5:36Speaker 2: go through all the numbers if you want. That's pretty boring, Mahomes.
- 5:41Speaker 2: Starting in twenty twenty seven, Mahomes will average sixty four
- 5:45Speaker 2: million per year. Yeah, that's right my tax bracket, you know.
- 5:51Speaker 1: Close. No, it is not, apparently not.
- 5:55Speaker 2: That'll be a new NFL record starting in twenty twenty
- 5:58Speaker 2: seven until somebody else zoom's. So that is a good
- 6:01Speaker 2: jumping off point. Let us discuss the question what message
- 6:06Speaker 2: are the Chiefs sending with this Patrick Mahomes reworked contract extension.
- 6:11Speaker 2: So my thoughts, I've got T mobile, battery powered flashlight,
- 6:15Speaker 2: and Dino nuggets, and we will combine.
- 6:19Speaker 1: All of these things together.
- 6:21Speaker 2: We're gonna try to shnazz up the radio Show'm gonna
- 6:24Speaker 2: shnazz it up and we'll give you a high five.
- 6:26Speaker 1: So a this one is rather simple.
- 6:29Speaker 2: Kansas City is shooting off a text message to everyone
- 6:34Speaker 2: else in the NFL, and it reads, we ain't going anywhere,
- 6:39Speaker 2: you bozos, and not just Boso the district attorney, you bozos,
- 6:44Speaker 2: for anyone hoping for a downfall. The heartbeat is still there,
- 6:49Speaker 2: that's what this is. The Fat Lady has not sung yet.
- 6:52Speaker 2: The party's not over, and the Chiefs are already reloading
- 6:57Speaker 2: the confetti cannons, getting those ready, and so the rest
- 7:00Speaker 2: of the NFL, this franchise, the Chiefs are like, hey,
- 7:04Speaker 2: we're cockroaches. We're the ultimate cockroaches, and we refuse to die.
- 7:07Speaker 2: The dynasty's not over yet. They just took a little
- 7:10Speaker 2: break here. Mahomes is the NFL's team mobile tower, full bars,
- 7:15Speaker 2: full coverage, no outages with his contract, and he is
- 7:19Speaker 2: the bedrock of Arrowhead for the Chiefs.
- 7:24Speaker 1: And look, Mahomes the foundation.
- 7:26Speaker 2: Everything else is just it's interior decorating everything else on
- 7:31Speaker 2: the Chiefs. And Clark Hunt, the guy that runs the team. There,
- 7:35Speaker 2: he came out. He's been spreading the gospel. He's got
- 7:37Speaker 2: knee pads on praising mahomes generational talent and elite human being.
- 7:41Speaker 1: And of course I always loved the elite human being, Like,
- 7:45Speaker 1: how does anyone know that? Anyway?
- 7:48Speaker 2: So it was kissing your ass, that's it. Why not
- 7:52Speaker 2: I get it. You get your ass, kiss both cheeks
- 7:54Speaker 2: when you've been to five Super Bowls and won three championships,
- 7:58Speaker 2: that's usually how that goes. Keeping the buzz going here. So,
- 8:02Speaker 2: salary cap dooman gloomers.
- 8:04Speaker 1: You know who you are.
- 8:05Speaker 2: The nerds in the back of the room, the salary
- 8:07Speaker 2: cap truthers. I am a salary cap truther.
- 8:10Speaker 1: They're not.
- 8:11Speaker 2: We disagree, but the salary cap dooman glomers dooman gloomers
- 8:15Speaker 2: are up in arms saying that when the contract kicks
- 8:19Speaker 2: in the contract increase, Mahomes will be making sixty four
- 8:25Speaker 2: million annual average value AAV sixty four million per year
- 8:30Speaker 2: starting in twenty twenty seven.
- 8:32Speaker 1: The question are the chiefs now?
- 8:34Speaker 2: According to the salary cap dooman gloomers, the chiefs are
- 8:37Speaker 2: cooked because of the increased money, and they will not
- 8:41Speaker 2: have enough money to fill out the roster properly. And
- 8:44Speaker 2: so even though they get Mahomes. They're not going to
- 8:47Speaker 2: give him enough players around on the roster. So's he's cooked,
- 8:51Speaker 2: He's porked. So are the Chiefs cooked? Hell No, I
- 8:56Speaker 2: don't believe that. I don't believe that that money is
- 8:59Speaker 2: just the cost of doing business in the NFL. Now,
- 9:02Speaker 2: Brett Veach the GM in Kansas City, like every other
- 9:06Speaker 2: good team, he is playing a shell game with the
- 9:10Speaker 2: salary cap, the payroll, chasing that financial that little p
- 9:16Speaker 2: under the walnutshell for the third time in six years,
- 9:20Speaker 2: futching around with the salary cap. And so the Chiefs,
- 9:23Speaker 2: if the math is right here, they have committed six
- 9:27Speaker 2: hundred and eighty nine million in new money to Mahomes
- 9:30Speaker 2: through twenty thirty three. If Mahomes is still the super
- 9:34Speaker 2: nova that he had been, then this is fine.
- 9:38Speaker 1: It works, Mazeltov, good for you.
- 9:42Speaker 2: However, if Mahomes is now a battery powered flashlight, then
- 9:47Speaker 2: that's a much different conversation because this becomes a capitol
- 9:51Speaker 2: Q quagmar. It's a big quagmire. And yet belief is undefeated.
- 9:57Speaker 2: People believe that Mahomes is the top quarterback. However, lately,
- 10:03Speaker 2: the legend is still elite. The commercials are still elite.
- 10:07Speaker 2: The stat sheet is filing a grievance, and he has
- 10:11Speaker 2: become in the last year and a half the NFL
- 10:14Speaker 2: screen merchant, the Sultan of swing passes, relying on the
- 10:21Speaker 2: short game, the helter skelter improv plays while blaming many
- 10:25Speaker 2: around the Chiefs, blaming the supporting cast and all that.
- 10:28Speaker 2: The eyeball test says Mahomes has not been quite as
- 10:31Speaker 2: good recently, and the numbers back that up. In twenty
- 10:33Speaker 2: twenty four, despite a Super Bowl run, he was average
- 10:37Speaker 2: fifteenth rank quarterback in the NFL. Mahomes and this past
- 10:41Speaker 2: year he was number twenty one on the Big Board
- 10:45Speaker 2: of Quarterbacks, neck and neck with Justin Fields, who is
- 10:49Speaker 2: now the backup at Arrowhead. Nevertheless, it is a pure
- 10:54Speaker 2: man who shot liberty valance situation when it comes to Mahomes,
- 10:58Speaker 2: when the legend becomes the fact, you print the legend.
- 11:02Speaker 2: The Chiefs have already made so much money off Mahomes
- 11:05Speaker 2: and all that, and so even if they paid him
- 11:08Speaker 2: a billion dollars, that would not cover the amount of
- 11:10Speaker 2: money they've been able to take in because of their
- 11:13Speaker 2: success in this golden era of Chiefs football. Now, last
- 11:17Speaker 2: word to Viva las Vegas, we go. The Raiders always
- 11:23Speaker 2: carrying some excess baggage and good for headlines, not good
- 11:27Speaker 2: for wins, not good for wins. They're always rowing upstream
- 11:30Speaker 2: against the tide. I bring this up because Kirk Cousins,
- 11:33Speaker 2: who I believe is thirty seven now and signed with
- 11:38Speaker 2: the Raiders, and he is now pushing back on the
- 11:41Speaker 2: very popular narrative that he was brought to Vegas solely
- 11:46Speaker 2: to mentor Fernando Mendoza, the unpolished quarterback who for some
- 11:53Speaker 2: reason was taken number one over the out of Indiana
- 11:58Speaker 2: the Hoosiers. Here's twenty two Fernando Mendoza. Cousins, when asked
- 12:03Speaker 2: about all that said, the labeling by the media of
- 12:06Speaker 2: him as Mendoza's mentor is quote a bit of a
- 12:10Speaker 2: reach and quote more of a narrative than it is
- 12:14Speaker 2: the truth. Now, Cousins emphasized a collaborative dynamic of working together.
- 12:21Speaker 1: Well, isn't that special.
- 12:23Speaker 2: So the question what is Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins implying
- 12:30Speaker 2: by saying he is not the mentor of rookie Fernando Mendoz.
- 12:37Speaker 2: So this is one of those things that comes up
- 12:38Speaker 2: pretty much every year where there's some young hotshot quarterback
- 12:41Speaker 2: that enters the NFL and there's a more experienced quarterback
- 12:45Speaker 2: ahead of them. The NFL, and especially the media in
- 12:48Speaker 2: the NFL, they're all buddy buddy. They love to sell
- 12:52Speaker 2: mentorship in the NFL. It's like a Disney You like
- 12:56Speaker 2: Disney selling magic. They love it. It's a scam, it's
- 13:00Speaker 2: a myth. It's a bedtime story for you gullible dopes.
- 13:04Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins is not mentoring anybody. He's trying to keep
- 13:09Speaker 2: Mendoza from stealing his parking spot, is.
- 13:12Speaker 1: What he's trying to do there. Now, it's already preordained.
- 13:15Speaker 2: According to Clint Kubiak, the coach, you never have to
- 13:19Speaker 2: learn the name of the Raiders coach because they don't
- 13:21Speaker 2: last long. Clint Kubiak has indicated that Mendoza would ideally
- 13:25Speaker 2: sit and learn with a veteran such as Cousins or
- 13:30Speaker 2: go the Raiders. They are saying they want Cousins to
- 13:34Speaker 2: be what a bridge. Cousins wants to be a drawbridge.
- 13:38Speaker 2: He wants to go up closed nobody's crossing. The drawbridge
- 13:43Speaker 2: is up, and so Mendoza can learn if he learns
- 13:46Speaker 2: by osmosis.
- 13:48Speaker 1: Great.
- 13:48Speaker 2: If not, he's gonna learn by watching Kirk Cousins get sacked.
- 13:53Speaker 2: The Raiders overdrafted a project.
- 13:58Speaker 1: To be kind who let's just say, in.
- 14:02Speaker 2: The cooking world, the culinary world needs a lot of seasoning,
- 14:06Speaker 2: and they have paired Fernando Mendozo with a guy in
- 14:09Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins who doesn't want to share the salt or
- 14:12Speaker 2: the pepper, wants to keep all the salt in the pepper.
- 14:14Speaker 2: So thinker Mendoza like a startup and Cousins is the
- 14:19Speaker 2: legacy software.
- 14:21Speaker 1: They do not integrate, not in a mean way.
- 14:24Speaker 2: Cousins doesn't have I don't think he has a mean
- 14:25Speaker 2: bone in his body, which is part of the problem.
- 14:30Speaker 2: They're not going to be buddy buddy. They're not going
- 14:32Speaker 2: to be enemies though, and so Cousins is not planning
- 14:35Speaker 2: on feeding Mendoza Dino nuggets in the Raider quarterback room.
- 14:39Speaker 2: He's not even going to give him the Wi Fi
- 14:41Speaker 2: password over there in Henderson, Nevada. So if Cousins wants
- 14:45Speaker 2: to mentor right, if that's what he wants in life,
- 14:48Speaker 2: he'd retire and go coach a high school team somewhere
- 14:50Speaker 2: in Georgia or Texas or wherever. Instead, Cousins will start
- 14:56Speaker 2: the twenty twenty sixth season. The Raiders open up the
- 14:58Speaker 2: regular season in September against them Miami football team, the Dolphins.
- 15:02Speaker 1: Couple of teams that used to matter, that don't matter.
- 15:04Speaker 1: They're irrelevant.
- 15:05Speaker 2: They're laughing stock franchises, the Dolphins and the Raiders. And
- 15:08Speaker 2: so while that's going on, Fernando Mendoza, we anticipate we'll
- 15:11Speaker 2: put on a fit bid or an Apple Watch and
- 15:13Speaker 2: get ten thousand steps up and down on the sidelines.
- 15:18Speaker 2: So that is how that is going to go. It
- 15:21Speaker 2: is the Ben Mahlor Show. As we are road in
- 15:25Speaker 2: road enrolled and we have more of the World Cup.

- 18:26Speaker 2: Nixon was innocent and so is Ben. That's from Fergdoll. Yeah,
- 18:31Speaker 2: there's accusations going on here which is ridiculous. Now random
- 18:33Speaker 2: Ryan bugget it, buggety, buggety from Carolina Wrights, and he
- 18:37Speaker 2: says a fun video is trending of Ben Stiller, the
- 18:40Speaker 2: number one New York NEPO baby, walking past and ignoring
- 18:46Speaker 2: a skid row alum in front of MSG before the game.
- 18:52Speaker 1: All right, I have no idea what that's all about.
- 18:54Speaker 1: I haven't seen the video.
- 18:56Speaker 2: I did see this video developing story overnight. Did you
- 18:59Speaker 2: see what happened when the San Antonio Spurs team bus
- 19:03Speaker 2: pulled up to their Manhattan hotel as the players shuffled
- 19:06Speaker 2: off the bus to get into the hotel there in Manhattan?
- 19:10Speaker 2: Well and mentioned this a subway ratsk in a subway
- 19:14Speaker 2: rat There was a frenzy you had. It looked like
- 19:17Speaker 2: a couple hundred people outside razing the Spurs, and a
- 19:23Speaker 2: lot of them were doing the Statue of liberty. Now
- 19:25Speaker 2: you know what the Statue of Liberty is they were
- 19:28Speaker 2: not witnessing what was going on. They had their arm
- 19:31Speaker 2: extended with their smartphone to record the video of the
- 19:35Speaker 2: players walking in well while this was going on in
- 19:38Speaker 2: the Nick fans, of course, the vison they were there
- 19:39Speaker 2: was to boo the Spurs as they exited the team
- 19:42Speaker 2: bus and entered their hotel late at night, and someone decided,
- 19:48Speaker 2: I'm no longer going to be a non playable character.
- 19:51Speaker 2: I would like to be part of the game. And
- 19:53Speaker 2: so they chucked something at Victor Wembanyama and Kilden Johnson
- 19:57Speaker 2: of the Spurs, and because they were likely so intoxicated

- 20:05Speaker 2: whatever they threw hit the street light between the two
- 20:08Speaker 2: players and fell to the ground. Now, when Banyama, for
- 20:12Speaker 2: some reason, I guess just natural reaction, he turned around
- 20:17Speaker 2: to look.

- 25:42Speaker 2: Yeah, and I know you're blind, trust me, you saw
- 25:46Speaker 2: better than the referees as a blind man that you
- 25:48Speaker 2: knew that was.

- 37:10Speaker 2: of blind Dan from Saint Louis to call the show.
- 37:14Speaker 1: We need that, all right? Do you have an answer? Lorain? No,
- 37:18Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Brandon Aubrey. Brandon Aubrey is it
- 37:22Speaker 1: Brandon Aubrey?
- 37:23Speaker 3: Is that?
- 37:24Speaker 2: No?
- 37:24Speaker 1: That is completely wrong.
- 37:26Speaker 2: No, The correct answer is Clay Thompson back in twenty
- 37:30Speaker 2: nineteen for the Golden State Warriors.
- 37:35Speaker 1: So O, g N Andoby on the way to breaking
- 37:37Speaker 1: that mark.
- 37:38Speaker 4: Here we go, Here we go, Here we go to
- 37:41Speaker 4: the third degree. This is one big Van gets grilled.
- 37:47Speaker 1: All right? Cool well.
- 37:48Speaker 7: Usually when players express their individual goals for the season,
- 37:51Speaker 7: they're pretty lofty. Not the case with Packers Wide receiver
- 37:54Speaker 7: Christian Watson. Although it might be lofty for him, Watson
- 37:57Speaker 7: says he's aiming for more than eleven hundred yards double
- 38:00Speaker 7: digit touchdowns. Now, Ben, I know you said that he
- 38:02Speaker 7: doesn't deserve his contract extension, But do you think he
- 38:05Speaker 7: can hit these goals?
- 38:07Speaker 2: No, because something's gonna go haywire. He gets hurt all
- 38:10Speaker 2: the time. To get those numbers, you have to stay healthy.
- 38:13Speaker 2: You're not gonna get those numbers who you play eight
- 38:15Speaker 2: or nine games. And that's just the reality of Watson.
- 38:19Speaker 2: He has not been able to stay healthy. That's the problem.
- 38:22Speaker 2: When he's played, he's been good, he hasn't been great.
- 38:25Speaker 2: The Packers are betting clearly that Christian Watson is gonna
- 38:28Speaker 2: take off the training wheels and go to the next level.
- 38:33Speaker 2: I see no evidence that would indicate that he's going
- 38:35Speaker 2: to be able to make it through a season healthy,
- 38:38Speaker 2: and so I'm going to know those are not realistic goals.
- 38:42Speaker 2: To get double digit touchdowns, you have to play in
- 38:44Speaker 2: pretty much every game.
- 38:45Speaker 1: Because you're not gonna usually get more than one touchdown
- 38:47Speaker 1: a game. Very rarely does that happen.
- 38:49Speaker 7: Next, now, Kyrie Irving is now being linked to four
- 38:52Speaker 7: realistic trade suitors in the Pistons, the Timberwolves, the Rockets,
- 38:56Speaker 7: and the Lakers. Ben, would you take a shot with
- 38:58Speaker 7: Kyrie if you were one of those teams?
- 39:00Speaker 1: Hell No, The idea of Kyrie Irving is great.
- 39:04Speaker 2: The reality of Kyrie Irving is he doesn't much like
- 39:07Speaker 2: Christian Watson. He doesn't play that much. There's always some
- 39:11Speaker 2: kind of underlying condition when Kyrie is on your team.
- 39:15Speaker 1: It's been consistent other than when he played with Lebron.
- 39:19Speaker 2: Right outside of that, I guess you can say, well,
- 39:20Speaker 2: we can join join Lebron and he's getting older, which
- 39:23Speaker 2: means Kyrie is going to get hurt even more based
- 39:26Speaker 2: on the comparisons to other athletes that have come before him,
- 39:29Speaker 2: So he'll he'll obviously get a job.
- 39:32Speaker 1: I would not want Kyrie on my team.
- 39:34Speaker 2: I would not get excited, which means he'll probably end
- 39:37Speaker 2: up with the Clippers next.
- 39:39Speaker 7: Speaking of the Mavericks, it's also being reported that they
- 39:41Speaker 7: are targeting Joel Embiid. Would this be a mistake or
- 39:44Speaker 7: could a flag Embiid pairing make some noise?
- 39:47Speaker 2: So there's a theme here, Coop, and the theme is
- 39:49Speaker 2: all of these guys are not all that available, and
- 39:53Speaker 2: so yeah, if Joel embiid, if you gave some kind
- 39:57Speaker 2: of health serum, some kind of some kind of punch
- 40:01Speaker 2: that he could drink and be healthy. All yeah, sure,
- 40:03Speaker 2: Joe and Bid would be wonderful, absolutely great with flag
- 40:08Speaker 2: that's not going to happen, so hell no, Uh don't
- 40:11Speaker 2: want that combination.
- 40:12Speaker 1: If I'm Dallas, how did we do cool?
- 40:14Speaker 2: He passes at a show that is a wit, put it
- 40:16Speaker 2: on the moon when it went, and w a chicken dinner.
