• 1:55
  Speaker 1: the ground in Philadelphia, not New Orleans, not Ner Alans,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Philadelphia because our guy Fats has been hanging out. He's
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: in Philly and they rented a place Center City where
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: all the celebration is going on. They're having a grand time, amazing, amazing,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: So we'll see, we'll see what Fats has in store.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: But our lead store and the story we're going to
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: talk about the entire night here, all the way through
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: the overnight hours. One topic radio, one time. You know
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: what that topic is, the superbolbo Yes.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: Exactly.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Right, goright, So our lead here lights camera ash. There
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: was in Norland Super Bowl fifty ninety crescendo of the
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty four season.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: Here in twenty twenty.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Five, a champion has been crowned, and this is the
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: game we all watch.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: Right, you're listening to sports talk radio late at night,
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: Chances you probably watched.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: The game the Eagles and Chiefs wrangling in a neutral field,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: a neutral field right.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: There, and how did that turn out? How did that
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: turn out? Well?
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Jalen Hurt threw for two touchdowns, he also ran for
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: a score, and the Vic Fangier Uncle Vic defense getting
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: it done a domination situation. The Eagles did not even
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: need Sequon Barkley to flex his muscles. He did not,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: and Philadelphia certainly did forty to twenty two the final.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: They take home the Lombardi Trophy. It was a Harvard
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: boat race.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: That means that the Eagles jumped out early and never
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: looked back.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: Right the game was.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: It was closed at the end of the first core
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: seven to nothing, and halftime was twenty four to nothing,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: and later on oh my thirty four nothing before the
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Chiefs scored. However, the better is in the losing locker room.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: So we asked the question, as we discuss here, We
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: asked the question.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: Choked up here. We asked the question any sound cool?
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: We have? Any sound we do? All right?
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Anyway, I asked the question who gets the Dunce cap?
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Who gets the Dunce cap of blame for the Chiefs
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: losing and not just losing It's one thing to lose
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: on a late field goal or a late touchdown.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: They lost.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: The game was over at halftime, twenty four to nothing
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: at halftime, So let us discuss the question.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: My thoughts on this.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: I've got torts, folk song and Yiddish and we will
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: combine all of these things together and we are going
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: to make a cough lozenge, is what we're going to make.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: So a It obviously starts at the top, and Patrick
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Maholmes deserves all the praise he's gotten, but he also
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: deserves to be criticized for this performance that was unbecause
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: of Patrick Mahomes.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: In this game.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: And people are gonna defend Mahomes, are gonna blame other
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: people for the outcome of the game. But to me,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: it starts with Mahomes. He was bad. He was bad, bad, bad,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: bad bad. Now he had some garbage time stats, but
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: when the game was in the balance, which it really
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: was only for a quarter here, Mahomes did not step up.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: He did not get her done, did not get her
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: done at all. And there's the saying, sometimes you're the windshields,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: sometimes you're the bug. And we know that the Mahomes
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: that played on Super Bowl Sunday. There that was a
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: torts performance. As the great hockey coach John Tortorella has
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: pointed out, he sucked at a time you cannot suck,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: which was the balance of the game. The balance of
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: the game there. Now many people are gett passing the buckets. Well,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: the defense wasn't good, the offensive line wasn't good, and
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: since the offensive line could have been better, Mahomes several
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: little sacks were on Mahomes, though the sack is a
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: quarterback stat. Holmes held the ball for too long. I
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: thought I was watching Caleb Williams playing the Super Bowl
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: as long as he was holding the ball. Bad job
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: by Mahomes, bad job by him here. And there were
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: so many negative plays, and that poured gasoline on the fire.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Here a pair of backbreaking interceptions. There was also a
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: fumble by Mahomes here, But whichever courter. Typically, it's not
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: that I spent a lot of time to do a
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: TV show during the football season handicapping NFL games, and
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: it often comes down to who makes the fewer negative plays,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: who makes the fewer negative plays, And in this game
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: now negative plays are interceptions, interceptions incompletion, sacks, and fumbles,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: those are considered bad plays.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: Mahomes.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: You how many negative plays Mahomes had when you can
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: bind fumbles, sacks, incompletions, interceptions, Mahomes had twenty. He had
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: twenty negative plays in the Super Bowl, and he's getting
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: a pass because he's Mahomes, not on this show. He's
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: not getting a pass. And Jalen Hurts, to his credit,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: he only had eight. There were eight negative plays. He
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: did throw an interception, but it was deep inside Kansas
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: City territory, so Chiefs took over inside.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: Their own five yard line on that play.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: But hey, listen, a plus twelve negative play ratio for
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: your quarterback versus the other team's quarterback, you should win
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: forty to twenty two, which is exactly what Philadelphia pulled
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: off here. Now, what was the turning point? I was
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: looking for the turning point for the Eagles that flipped
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: the game right in their direction. Now this game, you said, well,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: the turning point was? I know exactly when the turning
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: point was. It's an American folk song and we can
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: all sing along here. The wheels on the bus go
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: round and round, The wheels on the bus go round
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: and round.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: The moment the.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Chiefs caravan showed up, the buses showed up to the
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: super Dome. They were cooked, right, they were done. You
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: had Travis Kelcey walk out there, and he showed up
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: wearing that you see what he was gonna, had that
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: burnt orange suit, the wide lapel suit on.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: He had the.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Matching trousers there, a little burnt orange. He had the
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: patterned buttoned up shirt as well. He was doing cosplay,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: is what he was doing. Well, Kelsey was doing some
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: cosplay there. He looked like he had just pulled up
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: out of the hot tub time machine and he was
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: out of the time machine there, and he was from
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: like nineteen seventies. He was doing like a nineteen seventies
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: cosplay thing. And he said, well, that's not a good sign.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: And Kansas City, it proved not. Could have turned out
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: the other way, but it turned out that you saw that,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: you said, well that's not good and they were cooked.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: What happened to the championship pedigree we hear so much
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: lead up to these games, Well that disappeared because the
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: out didn't go that way.
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: The Chiefs did not win.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: They don't lose games like this, well they did, They
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: just lost the Chiefs just lost. But the moment that
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: was the turning point was when they showed up to
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: the stadium and the Eagles stomped all over. That's an understatement,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: a domination situation. And do not let the garbage time
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: numbers in the fourth quarter sway the outcome. I mean,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: I don't have to say you didn't watch the game,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: but maybe you tuned it out. And a lot of
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: people watched the Super Bowl at parties. It's a social
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: event and you're not really paying that close attention. Well,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: if you weren't paying close attention, you say, well, what
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: happened twenty to twenty two?
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: Mahomes?
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: You know, had some made some plays? Well, yeah he did.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: When the game was over. The game was over, he
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: made made a few plays. That was take out the
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: trash time out. Now the last word here, So what
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: adjustments could Andy Reid have made better? Shall we say
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: better adjustments in Super Bowl fifty nine? So the obvious
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: one is, I don't know, it's not that deep r
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: it's Ockham's razor. The simplest solution is the obvious one.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: Don't fall behind thirty four to nothing in the Super Bowl,
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: thirty four to nothing in the Super Bowl, and the
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: obvious one is you got to find some early offense,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: and there was nothing there.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: And you know, don't tell me all the Eagles.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Washington was able to score against that Eagles defense. The
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: La Rams scored the ball against that Eagle defense. Kansas
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: City should have been able to score the ball when
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: it mattered against the Eagles defense, and they did not.
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: So excuse my Yiddish year.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: The entire Eagles offense they were klutzes, that's how they looked.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: And in the early part of.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: That game there, and maybe they passed out before the game.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Everyone took the same stupid pills before the game there.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: But they were playing uphill the entire day. They were
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: playing uphill here, and they really stumbled out of the gains.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: It was only seven nothing at the end of the
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: first quarter. So if you weren't paying attention, because maybe
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: you were having some of those little appetizers and you
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: weren't paying attention, seven nothing, it was not that big
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: a deal. However, it was actually much worse than that.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: The Eagles had one hundred and fifteen yards of offense.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: The Chiefs had nineteen at the end of the first quarter.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: Several of you pointed out the main thing the Chiefs
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: had overcome was the curse of Poppy, as our guy
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Poppy picked Kansas City, and I knew I was doomed.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: I knew I might.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: Pick on the TV show was cooked because of Poppy
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: and that jinx. And sure enough that played out there,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: But the floodgates really opened up. You know, you played bad.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: You're like, oh, it's a bad quarter, but you're only
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: down seven nothing. And then Patrick Mahomes stepped out there
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: and just kept handing the ball away, and that the
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: floodgates opened up in that second quarter, and it was
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy nine yards to twenty three. At halftime,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: the Eagles had thirteen first as the Chiefs had won.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: It said, well, it was just the box score, but
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: it actually looked worse than that, watching the game looked
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: worse than that. If that's if that's possible. All right, anyway,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: it is the Ben Malord Show. Here is Patrick maholme.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: This there's some postgame flavor for you. Here's Mahomes on
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: the many mistakes, mention those negative plays. Mahomes had twenty
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: of them. Jalen Hurts only had eight. Here's Mahomes talking
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: about sucking in the Super Bowl.
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: Obviously, the turnovers hurt, and I mean I just kind
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: of take all the blame for that. I mean, just
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: those early turnovers swing the momentium of the game. And
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: then they capitalized on them and they scored. I mean
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: they scored on the one and then they got a
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: touchdown immediately after. So that's fourteen points that I kind
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: of gave them. And it's hard to come back from
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: that and the Super Bowl.
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: And you didn't.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: You didn't come back, all right, But wait, there's more.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: Here's Mahomes and he wants you to know that this
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: is going to follow him around. He is going to
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: turn a negative into a positive.
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: Take a listen.
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: Anytime he lose the Super Bowl, it's sort of worse
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: still in the world.
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: They'll stick with you.
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: The rest of your career. I mean, these will be
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: the two losses that will motivate me to be even
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: better to the rest of my career, because you only
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: get so a few of these, and you have to
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: capitalize on these, and they hurt probably more than the wins.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: Feel good.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Okay, well, didn't you learn from the last time you
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: lost in the Super Bowl? The Tampa Bay a couple
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: of years back. Come on, all right, here's one more
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: Andy Reid, who is chasing the legendary Bill Belichick and
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: still on track, Andy Reid, if his health is there
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: and he keeps going here to set the all time
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: wins record, he's chasing Don Shula's record. But this is
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: about Super Bowl wins, and this was a golden opportunity
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: going into the game. The Chiefs favored by a point
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: and a half and could have added another one of
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: those Lombardi Trophies. They obviously did the opposite. Here's a
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: Andy Reider what it's all about.
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: We'll learn from this.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: Okay, most games here when you don't do very well, Yeah,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: you learn from it.
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: As a coach, You learn from it as a player,
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: and you move on. Okay, just keep learning.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: How come the bad teams never like the teams that
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: suck in the NFL, They never like Tennessee is the
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: worst team in the NF. They must have learned a
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: lot this year, the Tennessee Titans, because they had the
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: worst record, So they must have learned like the Patriots
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: must have learned a lot also, Yeah, learn from losses.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: So I have nothing to say. So I'm gonna fall
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: back on my sports cliches. That is what I'm going
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: to do.
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: Okay.

• 16:10
  Speaker 1: Eagles fan or a Chiefs fan, and so maybe you
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: were not paying attention. I feel like we did our
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: good mits for the day. I paid close attention the
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: entire game, and this was one of those games. If
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: I didn't have a radio show to do, I wouldn't.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: I would have turned the game off at halftime and
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: I would have said, that's it, let me know if
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: the Chiefs come back, I'm done.
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: But I stayed. I stayed. I watched the whole game.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: And Wowser's Wowser's, Wowser's Wowser's on his twenty second birthday
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: Cooper Dejen where they picked six off Patrick Mahomes, Josh
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: Swtt bird dogging Mahomes as well. The Eagles defense the
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: birds all over the place and they route Cansa City
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: to the tune of forty to twenty two all wop situation,
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: and they secure the second Lombardi Trophy in franchise history.
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: Move over Nick Foles and the.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: Philly Special, as the Eagles have won again. The dream
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: of the three pete has ended for Kansas City as
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: they fail to get or done. So let us discuss
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: the question what happened to the deep state conspiracy regarding
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: Roger Goodell and the NFL fixing games for Patrick Mahomes
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: and Andy Reid and the Chiefs.
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: What happened to it?
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: So I've got Ralph Waldo Emerson chewing gum and friendly skies,
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together and
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: we are going to make a bottle of champagne, something
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: that the Chiefs did not get this year. They did
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: not get to celebrate with a bubbly bath as they
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: were losers. So number I said, Number number that storyline
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: about the NFL ringing the games for the Chiefs is
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: da that would be dead on arrival. A lot of
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: dumb people have a bitter pill to swallow. But I
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: know how this works. I know how this works. It's
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: not my first barbecue. I've been here in the past.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: I know how these conspiracy theory things work. Not that
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: I'm against all conspiracies. This one I thought was lame
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: from Jump Street. I thought it was lame. But you
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: are a sucker if you're one of the people that
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: bought into this, and there's a lot of people that did.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: It was always rubbish, as we pointed out using malor math.
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: If you actually check.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: The receipts, the calls in close games all season long
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: were not in favor of Kansas City. There were sporadic
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: calls that were in favor of Kansas City, but if
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: you look at the overall data from the season, it
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: doesn't back up the narrative. It does not. And there's
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: a quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson and I think applies
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: to this that people only see what they are prepared
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: to see, and you also look for evidence to back
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: up your argument. Right that if you are someone that
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: believes that the games are rigged in favor of Kansas City,
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: you're going to look for any questionable call.
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: You're going to ignore.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: The data where or the evidence that goes against your hypothesis,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: and so it was never a peer reviewed conspiracy theory.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: I am convinced of a few conspiracy theories that the
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: NBA draft lottery was fixed for Pat trick.
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: Ewing to end up with the Knickerbockers. I believe that
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: to be true.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: I also believe that the power outage at Camden Yards
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: in Baltimore that happened on one night and only affected
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: the few blocks around the ballpark on a night where
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: there was something that happened with Cal Ripken of the
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: Orioles and a game against the Merriors, I believe that
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: to be true. Now there's some other one that I
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: also bought. I believe Kurt Schilling had ketchup in his
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: sock to enhance the drama for the Red Sox, and
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: Doug Mirabelly talked about that and told Gary Thorne. I
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: believe that to be true. But this one I never
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: bought into. And I like a good conspiracy, I do.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: I never bought into it, and it's now over right,
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: so we can forget about that. And in this game,
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: there was a questionable call early and if you're watching you,
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: AJ Brown was called for a push off.
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: It would have been a first.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: Down for Philadelphia and the call went in favor of
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: Kansas City.
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: So immediately dumb people, oh, it's rigg. It's rigged, dude,
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: it's rigg.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: Okay, that drove them out. Was short lived and the
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: entire story was known as gas lighting. People were deliberately
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: fed false information and that led them to question watching
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: NFL games even though the outcomes they thought they knew.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: They were questioning because of the gas lighting. But the
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: whole storyline was farming. It was engagement farming. The way
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: you make money on social media and they'll pay you
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: on platforms like X is engagement. And how do you
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: engage people You tell them that a game is rigged,
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: and dumb people love that and they buy into it
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: and they're all about it.
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: Since the Eagles dominated this.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: Game one going away, it was thirty four nothing at
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: one point forty to twenty two only because of garbage time,
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: the conspiracy theory is completely ignored. Or you do the
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: old switch or rue right the old what is the
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: old switcher? Well, they couldn't fix it because it's a
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl. That's why the game was. It was a
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: fair game, and that's why the outcome was the way
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: it was. But either way, it's buried six feet under.
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: That's it.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: Now turn the page thumbs up or thumbs down on
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts winning Super Bowl MVP on his thumbs up
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: or thumbs down.
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: So after a minus in his long Mallard deliberation, I'm
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: going to go thumbs up.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: It's a rather obvious that he was going to win
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: the MVP watching the game the way it unfolded here,
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: it is an offensive award. As effective as the Eagles
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: defense was, this is an offensive award. So the fact
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: that the Eagles offense had really little impact for it,
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: hardly any impact from sequon Barkley, right, And so you
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: look at that, and the defense bottled up Barkley, and
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: they dared Jalen Hurts to make plays to beat them,
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: and Jalen Hurts made plays to beat the Kansas City Chiefs.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: Barkley had fifty seven yards on I think it was
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: like twenty five carries somebody. He averaged two point three
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: yards per carrey two point three yards per carry, had
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: no touchdowns. So bupkis right, the Eagles won anyway, and
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: they won anyway because of, as they say in the
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: Chewing Gum Game, double bubble. Now, what was the double bubble.
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: For the he Goes.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: It was Jalen Hurts, who was really good. He only
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: had a few incompletetions I think five incompletions.
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: Of the entire game.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: He was so effective that that stiff Kenny Pickett was
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: out there playing in garbage time in the fourth quarter.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: And then you had Patrick Mahomes who went to Texas Tech,
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: but it looked like he was at duke. He was
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: the duke of Puke Mahomes, And so that was the
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: double bubble. You had Jalen Hurts good, Mahomes was not
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: and Hurts the three touchdowns and then Jalen Hurts opponent
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: there Mahomes with three turnovers, handing points to Philadelphia, setting
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: him up for the win. And so you do the
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: arithmetic on that, and that is how Jalen Hurts ends
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: up as the Super Bowl MVP.
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: Final point, So, which big name player, which big name
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: player for the Chiefs suffered the most from tight tuckis syndrome?
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: Tight took his syndrome, all.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: Right, So I'm gonna I'm gonna stay away from Mahomes
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: is the obvious one. We've already destroyed Mahomes and he
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: deserves it. The way he played it was unbecoming of
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: the legend. So I'm not gonna pile on, But let
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: me spend a few good minutes on everyone's favorite podcasting,
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: tight End Travis Kelcey, Americus Darling, Americas Darling, Travis Kelcey
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: writing the Friendly Skies on a plane that I called
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: the Vomit Comet. He was on the vomit Comet, Travis Kelcey.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: He showed up dress like he was ready for Halloween.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: Maybe he thought the super Bowl was Halloween, and he
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: had that seventies style sued on. And it was really
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: more like a nineteen seventies classic occult classic movie, The
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: Rocky Horror Picture Show, is what it was watching Travis
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: Kelcey play tight end. Here he had in the first
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: three quarters of the game catches for twenty two yards,
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: zero impact. But now he had had a couple catches
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: in garbage time in the fourth quarter. But it was
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: like Taylor Swift was singing blank Space for Travis Kelsey
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: because he was a blank space on the Bingo card
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: for Andy Reid.
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: And the Chiefs.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: And there were rumors on Saturday that were likely driven
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: by Engagement farming, that Travis Kelcey may end up retiring.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: Maybe he already did retire. The way he played looked
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: like he was ready to retire.
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: It was terrible.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: So if that's how Travis Kelsey gonna play, and then
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: let him retire, there somebody else in there who will
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: actually get the job done because Kelsey did not get
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: it done. And then we're staying at star level players
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: who suffer from tight Tuker syndrome. You gotta say Chris Jones,
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: the defensive star who's a Hall of Fame defensive player
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: for Kansas City, and you didn't even know he was
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: on the field. Now he left the game early injury,
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: but the game was already decided by the time he
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: left with an injury. And Chris Jones, number ninety five
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: in your program, but number zero on your scorecard, made
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: one more play than you and I did.
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: In Super Bowl fifty nine.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: He was credited on the on the stat sheet with
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: one quarterback hit, one, no tackles, no nothing, bupkiss everything else.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: Bupkis for Chris Jones, zero tackles, one quarterback hit, no sacks.
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: That's it.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: That's Chris Jones. You're the top paid defensive player and
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: you don't show up. And that goes in line with
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: their tight end. That goes with the quarterback. The biggest
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: stars for Kansas City did not show up. Now, to
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: be fair, the biggest star for Philadelphia did not show
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: up either, Sakwon Barkley, but didn't matter because Jalen Hurts
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: was that good.
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: It is the Ben Mahlor Show.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: I want to get your thoughts pulse of the people
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: on Super Bowl fifty nine at eight seven seven ninety
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: nine on Fox. That's eight seven seven nine nine six
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: six three. Later this hour, we will have Mallard of
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: the Third Degree. We'll have the Insta Trivia that'll be
• 27:04

  Speaker 1: hour as well. We we look forward to that in
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: the next hour, the Mallor Riddle of the Day. We'll
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: have that as well. A group of people calling President Trump,
• 27:19

  Speaker 3: We'll explain what that's all about.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: We have the Shotgun Formation, and UH have a weekend
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: and then some we'll get to all of those stories.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: We'll take your calls also comments on x at Ben

• 27:52
  Speaker 3: we have?
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: All right?
• 27:53
  Speaker 5: Ben?
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: So you heard the clip we played earlier.
• 27:55
  Speaker 5: Patrick Mahomes said that this loss is going to motivate
• 27:57
  Speaker 5: him for the rest of the career, and on social media,
• 27:59
  Speaker 5: a lot of people we're celebrating the demise of Patrick Mahomes.
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: Goat talk. Do you think that no matter what Patrick.
• 28:06
  Speaker 5: Mahomes does the rest of his career, this will always
• 28:08
  Speaker 5: be a talking point.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: Well, if he ends up tying Brady, Tye goes to
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: Brady because unless Mahomes can win three in a row,
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: so it is a setback. But Tom Brady lost Super
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: Bowl of what three Super bowls tom Brady lost, I
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: believe during his career, So it's like you can lose
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: a couple of Super Bowls. But Mahomes has been to five.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: He's three and two, which is not all that great.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: It's good, but it could be better. So yeah, the
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: debate will be there, which is good for my business.
• 28:35
  Speaker 5: Next, Ben, the Lakers trade for the Charlotte Hornets Mark Williams.
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: I saw this.
• 28:39
  Speaker 5: It was rescinded. Yeah, so now Dunk connect is coming
• 28:42
  Speaker 5: back to the Lakers. Mark Williams is staying in Charlotte.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 28:45
  Speaker 5: Lakers have Jackson Hayes as their center. Yea, what do
• 28:48
  Speaker 5: you think the best the Lakers can do with what
• 28:51
  Speaker 5: they've got?
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: They could win in the first round of the playoffs
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: and then they'll be eliminated in the second round.
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: What happened to that guy that called up last week's
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: Mark Williams was the next Will Chamberlain?
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: What happened to that guy? Coop? Next?
