• 1:48
  Speaker 1: us a little bit here on the overnight and we begin.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: Let's see where should we start? Any meenie miney mode.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Oh, there was only one game. It was an island game.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: You know we love island games. Yes, they design find
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: the professional football schedule to accommodate the overnight show because
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: every night we're on there's a game, well three nights
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: a week. You get the Sunday night and then at
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: the Monday and then Thursday, and so we've got all that.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: But our lead this hour is from the not frozen Tundra,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: a few miles away from where my younger brother resides.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: There lambeau Field and the Week two.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Card in the NFL kicking off in that hallowed venue,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: which is pretty whack.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: I've only been once. I went to there was no game.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: I didn't go to a game.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: I went to the gift shop there which is the
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: size of like Costco or a super Walmart.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: They got a lot of stuff.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: And anyway, a couple of NFC heavyweights there upstart quarterbacks,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: the next generation of quarterbacks, at least in theory, the
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Commanders and the Packers. So if you did not see
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: this game, and if you missed it, well we got you.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: We watched it.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: It's our good mits for the day. So he did
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: not have to Jordan Love feeling the love and the
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Packers ended up with some bad field position, but as
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: a coach told me years ago, bad field position means
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: good stats if you make the plays, and Jordan Love
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: made some of them, made to make all of them,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: and there were there were some points left on the field,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: but Jordan Love ended up with two hundred and ninety
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: two yards and a couple of touchdowns, and the Packers,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: who seemed like they were up by fifty points.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: Were not.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: They ended up beating the Washington football team twenty seven
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: to eighteen the final on Thursday night. And you couple
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: that with the victory over the Lions back in Week one,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: and that was all the way back on Sunday, so.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: They Packers already.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Have two wins over teams that were in the playoffs
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: last year, and someone named Tucker Craft. Someone named Tucker
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Craft apparently it's a tight end had six catches for
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: a career high on hundred and twenty four yards. The
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: better story, though, is in the losing locker room, Jaden,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: you told me how great this guy was.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: I bought into. I did, I bought in? I was ah.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Thursday night, short week, prime time, the stars shine
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: under the bright lights, and well, Jordan Love did not.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: He had a horrific start to this game, one of
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: the worst halfs you'll ever see who.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: You're not supposed to say that, but he's a superstar. Okay,
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: he sucked.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: He had forty nine yards passing in the first half,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: and a lot of that was because he was zipping
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: the ball where it didn't need to go. It was
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: just bad all the way around. In the balance of
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: that game. You know, he had some garbage time stats
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, and mathematically the Washington team was
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: in the game, but realistically they were not anyway. Before
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: we get into the meetia the monologue this year from
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Jaden Daniels here, the Washington quarterback, who points out that
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: the execution was slightly different in this game.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: Take a listen.
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: They executed their scheme, whatever it was.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: Okay, they executed it.
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: Really well because they won the game and we just
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: didn't make plays. Starts with me, starts with everybody in France,
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: starts with the whole offensive skill group. So it's not
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: playing a finger at anybody. Collectively, we're all to blame
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: and we'll get back to work.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Okay, So that's right out of the handbook. Is you're
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: supposed to say no one individually is to blame when
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: absolutely individuals are to blame. Well, here's more from Jade
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: and Daniels. Here's Jane and Daniels saying, oh, I said no, no,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: he didn't care about the fact they lost. He's already
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: moved on, right, Jaden, Yes.
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: I didn't done to dwell about it.
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: You know, early in the season, I wouldn't expect them
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: by in this locker room to hit the panic button.
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: We faced a really good team and we came up short.
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: So we'll move on in this game. Okay, there you go. Well,
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: I have a talk show to do, so I'm not
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: going to move on. You can move on, but I
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: have a talk show four.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Hours to do, so I'm gonna sit right here and
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: I'm going to slice it up and dice it. And
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: that's how I'm going to do it, because I have
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: a job, so that's my gig. And again I didn't
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: I rant about this the other day. Everyone freaks out
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: about the panic, but nobody wants.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: To get the pan.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: No panic, no panic, no panic anyway. All right, so
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: let us discuss the question. You heard some sound there
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: from Jaden Daniels. So the Commander's quarterback, Jaden Daniels, who
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: looked absolutely horrible, I mean just horrific. How much of
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: this is on him? And how much of this is
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: on the lamboo Lambeau voodoo.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: You told me there's some Lambeau voodoo.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: There now that Micah Parsons is playing for the Green
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Bay Packers. So again you've got Jaden Daniels, who look
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: like he should be playing for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: the way he performed in this game, and how much
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: of that is on him, and how much of that
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: is on the Lambeau voodoo.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: So I've got coach meat Balls and AOL.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Dial up if you know what that is, and we'll
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: combine all these things together and we are going to
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: make some brats and some cheese kurts is what we're
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: gonna make, all right. So A I do not want
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: to hear about the Lambbo voodoo.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: I don't the mystique of the frozen time.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Anytime the Packers get a halfway decent team, I have
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: to hear about this. I remember, they've lost so many
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: big games in my life at lambeau Field, like playoff Caans.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Remember Michael Vick had a terrible game years ago for
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons, went in there and beat the Packers.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: The Falcons did at lambeau Field. There's be some other
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: home losses there on the Aaron Rodgers years. So I
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: don't want to hear about that. This wasn't Vince Lombardi
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: rising from the grave to go cast a spell over
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: the Washington football team. Jaden Daniels did not trip over
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: some kind of cheese curd that was thrown on the
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: field there.
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: He flatlined on his own. And while he wants to
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: move on, that's fine, we're not.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: He was flying coach, and he was flying coach, that's
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: right on the vomit commet. He didn't even have a
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: first class seat. Jaden Daniels was sitting in coach on
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: the vomit comet. There was turbulence, There was no oxygen masks.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: There was just.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Projectile vomit that was flying in the air everywhere on
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: the vomit comet. Now, he managed to suck at a
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: time he cannot mentioned the first half forty nine yards
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: passing in the first half forty nine right, And he
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: sucked at a time he can't suck.
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: And that's the NFL.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: In the NFL rule Book, page one, when the lights
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: are bright and they're shining on you. When that's the
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: case there, you cannot soil the carpet. And there was
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: a lot of urine that was on the field there. Now,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: Jade Daniels, I guess he tried to burn the rug,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: which is one way to do it. Now, what did
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: I see? I saw a Chris Paul style performance CP
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: three with bounce passes, which would be great if it
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: was basketball, but unfortunately the NFL bounce passes don't work.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: You're supposed to throw to your guy, not the invisible
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: boogeyman running slants in another dimension. And I gotta tell you, though,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: the invisible boogeyman running slants caught a lot of passes
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: from Jaden Daniels because those things were they were either
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: sailing in the air or they were bouncing on the ground.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Bouncy bouncy, bouncy, bouncy bouncy, throw to the left, throw
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: the right into the Lambeau.
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: Field shadows, the shadow people at Lambolefield.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Anywhere but on target. So where were the big plays?
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Where were the big plays? So I didn't see them
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: in a big plays running plays of more than ten yards,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: passing plays of more than fifteen.
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: Yards, and I didn't see too many of those.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: I did not, And instead it looked like somebody unplugged
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: the Madden controller on what had been an amazing run
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: there for Jay and Dan. They didn't looked all great
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: last week either. No chunky soup, no chunk plays, just
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: watered down broth. That's all there was now page two,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: So who else gets called the Congress playing the commander
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: blame game?
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: We love the blame game? Who's going to be called
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: to Capitol Hill?
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: So that performance in the first half in particular, now,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: mathematically they were not out of the game, but it
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: just looked like that was Dan Snyder's Washington team that
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: they had the chart of the old Redskins right lawsuits
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: of poenas. The team looked like it was doodling in
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: the margins instead of running an actual game plan. We're
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: not sure what they were doing. And don't let Cliff
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Kingsbury slink away there. This is supposed to be X's
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: and O's genius offensive savant, the quarterback whisperer, And if
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: he was whispering to Jade and Daniels, he.
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: Must have been.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Daniels must have been wearing those noise canceling headphones because
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: he didn't hear anything. The playbook looked like it was
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: scribbled in crayon on a Southwest Airline's flight to green Bay.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: And I don't even know if Southwest goes to green Bay.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: That's just what it looked like. There was nothing all
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: that creative. Didn't seem like there were any in game
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: adjustments that were made. It's like, this is our game plan,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: this is what we're gonna do. And it's the football
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: equivalent of a gift stuck in a loop, you know,
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: just playing over and just a bad day. That's it
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: that we'll move on. Just the groundhog day, that's it.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: And what about the commander's defense. A lot of this
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: has been offensively focused, but what about the commander's defense.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: You see the game dan Quinn and you start worring.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: This kind of looked like the Falcons when he coached
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: there after a while, right, just kind of a flat
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: performance there. I said, well, it's a Thursday and night,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: but dan Quinn's a defensive guy. That's supposed to be
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: his meat and potatoes. And instead of the meat and potatoes,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: the Washington football team was serving up vegan meatballs. And
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: no one wants vegan meatballs. Even vegans don't want vegan meatballs, right,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: They're soft, bland, nobody wants them.
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: And they had this the vibe I got.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: And listen if you watched Benny versus de Penning on YouTube,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: we hope you did. I obviously had the wrong side
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: in that game, and I knew right away. I started,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: I don't.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: Go, I don't.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: I went on social media because I was amazed at
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: how many commercial Shaquille O'Neil was in, because every other
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: commercial shock was in there. But then I put the
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: thing away. I turned the app off and I started
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: texting some friends. I said, I'm cooked. They got look
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: at them I knew right away the body language very
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: rarely are you wrong on that? With the body language,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: it looked like they felt sorry for themselves, that they
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: all boohooo, we gotta go out here and play on Thursday.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: The body language just it just rereaked up. We don't
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: really want to be here. We really don't want to
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: be We want to be somewhere. We don't be here, though.
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: We want to go somewhere, maybe maybe across the street,
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: but we don't be here.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: And you could see it, and they were half step slow,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: heads down, like they were just there's like there playing
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: some kind of charity situation or something like that instead
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: of an NFL matchup.
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: There's no edge to them.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: And I was amazed that they still mathematically had a
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: chance to even cover the spread forget and win the
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: game in the fourth quarter. It should have been forty
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: one to ten or something like that. The way that
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: the separation between these two teams and the Packers fumbled
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: the mallet and they didn't put the hammer down otherwise,
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: you don't have to be some kind of NFL guru
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: to know this would have been a full pantsing, a
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: full humiliation situation. And the way the best way to
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: describe how Washington played. It was like a FedEx field pipe,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: sewage pipe bursting. And that's how they played, just sewage
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: raining down on fans. That good fan experience, the all
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: inclusive fan experience, is that right?
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: No, it's not ring. What is it? I don't know.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: It's brown? I don't know why is it smell? I
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: don't just keep watching the game, all right? Now, last
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: word here, So in the winner's locker room, we will
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: go over to the lesser story.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: The winner's locker room, and the packers are two and oh,
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: two and oh and everyone in.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: Wisconsin and all the owners of the Green Bay Packers,
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: the stockholders are spiking the broughtwurst and right into the
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: cheese dip there.
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: They're so excited they just won the Super Bowl.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: So I asked the question, are you, as a neutral
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: party like me, are you drinking the green kool aid?
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: Are you voting yes? That this is legit, that this
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: is going to continue? So I am an undecided voter
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: on this. I was really down on the Lions. I
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: thought the Lions it was more about what the Lions
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: didn't do than anything special the Green Bay Packers did.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Last week, the Lions look a lot weaker than they
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: have been in recent years, and they had some kind
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: of playoff hangover from losing last year. And then Washington,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: as we pointed out, they showed up like they just
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: really didn't want to be there like they had They
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: went to the DMV and they didn't have an appointment,
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: and then they had to wait online, and they ended
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: up waiting for like eight hours online and then it
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: was and they would do another line that was like
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: three hours, so they spent eleven hours online and they
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: were kind of tired, and they wanted to sit down.
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: They want to play the game.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: And so you look at it from that perspective, and
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: in those bifocals, it's two softballs that were lobbed right
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: down the middle underhanded. Green Bay swung. To their credit,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: they hit home runs, but they're eating cupcakes. You don't
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: need a knife to eat a cupcake. Right. It's good
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: for them, It does not mean you're the nineteen eighty
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: five Bears, defensively reincarnated. And and don't even get me
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: started on the Amazon broadcast because they they had Micah Parsons.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: I had to mute them at one But now I
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: love al Michaels. But the other people on that broadcast,
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: holy crap.
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: But the way they were making it seem like Michael
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: Parsons was the human version of he Man stopping on skeletor.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: And I must have been using AOL dial up to
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: connect to Amazon, because I didn't see it that way.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: I thought Parsons was fine standard, pretty good defensive players.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: He's the highest paid player in the NFL other than
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: the quarterback. You should play really well every play, every game.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: And yet again, a lot of that came in the
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: second half. A lot of his production came in the
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: second half when even mathematically Washington was in the game.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: He just didn't get the vibe they were and Parsons
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: made a couple of plays al Michaels, And it was.
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: Really the random women. I don't know who they are.
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: I don't write.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: Their names down, and they're just you know, the entire
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: broadcast was annoying, and they made it seem like he
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: was wearing Micah Parsons a cape and he was leaping
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: tall buildings in a single mound. You know, calm down,
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: by the way, just how bad is the Amazon broadcast
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: in general? I mean, do they deliberately assemble. Do they
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: have meetings at Amazon's. How can we get the most
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: annoying group of human beings and let them talk football
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: while they talk over each other like it's a holiday
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: dinner with your in laws.
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: It's just brutal.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: Now again, we love Al Michael Herbstreet's fine, he annoys
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: me sometimes, but the rest of the pregame, halftime, postgame crew,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: it's like the island of misfit toys.
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: There. You've got Ryan Fitzpatrick.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: Who gives out that like kind of annoying, over the
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: top uncle energy. You've got Richard Sherman who's just filipbustering.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: I don't think he even knows what he's saying. And
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: then you got Tony Gonzalez who looks like he doesn't
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: want to be there because he's too cool to be there,
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: and he would like to take an uber, but not
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: just an Uber, he wants a high end uber home
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: because he's.
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: Like, I'm look how good looking I am.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: I don't need to be here. You people are all ugly.

• 19:16
  Speaker 1: lead this hour not from the game at lambeau Field
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: last night, the Green Bay Packers on a Thursday night
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: Get or Done, but our lead this hour from deep
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: in the heart of Texas, the gift that keeps on giving.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: We go to Jerry's world. Jerry was serenaded at the
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: Green Bay Packer game. But prior to that, we learned
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: that wide receiver Cde Lamb Ceedee Lamb has started going viral.
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: Maybe you saw it, maybe you didn't.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: So Ceedee Lamb caught passes, We've learned from a jugs gun.
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: That's a machine that throws the ball.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: So we caught this bunch of passes from the jugs
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: machine last week on the Cowboys day off after they
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: played on Thursday. On Friday, he was trying to shake
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: off a opener which saw him drop not one, not two,
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: but three three passes. So if you didn't see this,
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: maybe not. Some eight hours after the Cowboys' team plane
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: touchdown back in Texas, players had the day off and
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb was at the Death Star catching passes from
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: the jugs machine there and he was asked about it.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: He said, quote that wasn't supposed to go viral. Ceedee
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: Lamb said, wink wink, wink, not no nod. I wasn't
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: doing that for no internet. To be honest, Lamb said,
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: speaking the King's English So I came in on a
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: day when nobody was in the building and I still
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: caught a camera. I didn't even know that the camera
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: was there. Shout out to them. Ceedee Lamb said, As
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: for me, Bro, it's going back to my fundamentals. I
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: know what it is. I know what to do again.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: It's game one. We have sixteen more of these, okay,
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: and then after the games this weekend, we have fifteen
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: more to go.
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: It's only game number two. So that is our lead
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: this hour. So let us discuss the question.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb, wide receiver for the Dallas Cowboys, says that
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: on his off day, his workout was not supposed to
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: go viral.
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: It was not do you believe it or not?
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: Do you believe that this was actually something that was
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: supposed to be done under the cover of darkness and
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: that he did not intend did not intend to get
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: media coverage out of this. So I've got Jake Paul,
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: Karaoke Night, and mister Miyagi and we will combine all
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: of these things together and we are gonna make your
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: babushka's favorite pastrami fries, because every good babushka loves pastrami fries.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: So number, I said number. All right, stop, stop, drop
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: and roll. Ceedee Lamb says his off day workout wasn't
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: supposed to go viral. Please come on now, I am
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: agnostic on this one.
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: I am not a believer. You play for what team?
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: All right? You play for the Cowboys? What's the logo
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: on the helmet? A star? Let me tell you something. Okay,
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: if you don't.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: Realize there are cameras everywhere in Jerry's world, you.
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: Are dumb d dumb, dumb dumb. I'm telling you.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: You could fart in Jerry's world, a big wet fart,
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: and there'll be eight different camera angles and it'll be
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: all over the social media for the Cowboys. Did you
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: see Ceedee Lamb's fart? Do you think that's you know,
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: what was the exit velocity of the fart? You know
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: that kind of So it's not football, it's a It's
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: the hype industrial complex, is what it is. It's the
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: deal when you sign up to where the Star. Everything
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: is a reality show. Football is second. Everything's for public consumption.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: You're basically Jake Paul and Shoulder Pats, you know, the
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: annoying influencer from the TikTok and YouTube and Ceedee Lamb
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: is a card carrying member of the attention Horrors of America.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: Whether he admits it or not, everything is content right
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: and there's the dirty little secret they do not want
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: you to talk about.
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: Like all of a sudden, this is now a problem.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: Ceede Lamb's hands spoiler alert, he's got bad hands. He's
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: got for all the glitz and the glamour one hundred
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: million dollar branding deal with the Dallas Cowboys.
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: If you look at.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: His production since the year twenty twenty, since the pandemic
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: in twenty twenty, Ceedee Lamb leads the entire NFL and
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: dropped passes. He's not number two or number three or
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: number four, He's number one in drop He's at the
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: top of the board. So forget about the jugs machine.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: They could fly over Tear from England to throw him
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: the football. It doesn't matter. What he really needs is
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: to go old school and you find Manuel and Guardina.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: Maybe Manuel knows somebody who knows somebody, and then they
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: can get their hands on some of the like nineteen
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: seventies raiders stick them.
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: That they used to use to catch the pets.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: His myths are are pretty bad, right, I mean, so
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: spare us the afshocks. I didn't even know the camera
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: was their routine. Come on the Cowboys again. They're in
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: the business of manufacturing drama. That's the brand, that's the product,
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: that's what they sell. And Jerry Jones could put a
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: popcorn stand at a funeral and make it a spectacle
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: because he'd put the Cowboy logo on it.
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: You know, he'd make little, you know, a.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: Little funeral sized popcorn containers and things. But everything in
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: Dallas is for public consumption, whether it's intentional or not.
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: And so ceedee Lamb swears.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: And you know, just going back to fundamental is like
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: this whole thing that well, he signed the contract.
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: Do you think his agent leaked it?
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: Who do you think linked it? You think there was
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: a Cowboy pr team the agent. Was it a group
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: project where they got together? And see he's like the Mamba.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: He goes into the gym after a game and all
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: that stuff. Okay, he's practicing the fundamentals, fundamentals, big fundamental.
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: That's the Cowboy way, unless it's not.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: Now page two, we go now to Northern California, San Francisco,
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: Ad Jason Santa Clara that is where brock Perdy is
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: officially down.
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: For the count.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: He has been ruled out. Oh my aching toe. He'll
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: be doing a sleepover in the injury tent. Bring your
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: sleeping bag and an overnight bag as well. And so
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: the Boss by the Bay, the Boss by the Bay has.
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: Spoken a man who I used to work for his dad.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: His dad was a radio executive, John Lynch, the GM
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: of the forty nine ers. And it turns out that
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: John Lynch is actually fired up for the backup quarterback,
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: Mac Jones.
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: Take a listen to the GM and the Niners.
• 26:08
  Speaker 7: John Lynch, take a list You know, we're really pleased
• 26:10
  Speaker 7: to have Mac here. You know, Mac was a guy
• 26:16
  Speaker 7: back in the in the draft process. You know, we
• 26:19
  Speaker 7: studied a lot, really liked. You know, has had his
• 26:23
  Speaker 7: ups and downs in his NFL career, but since he's
• 26:26
  Speaker 7: been a part of us, really has taken to our offense,
• 26:31
  Speaker 7: really fits our culture.
• 26:33
  Speaker 8: Uh.
• 26:33
  Speaker 7: He can run our offense and run it well, and
• 26:36
  Speaker 7: we don't have to change a whole lot when he's
• 26:38
  Speaker 7: out there. So I'm excited to see him get an
• 26:41
  Speaker 7: opportunity to go show what he can do.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: All right, there's the quote, So question give me your
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: reaction to John Lynch and his excitement to watch Mac
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: Jones play.
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: Yikes.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: All right, so this is kind of like me saying
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: I'm excited to see the sun come up tomorrow. Okay,
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: I appreciate the insight there, John, thank you for that.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: It's truly Pullitzer worthy stuff. Here, Captain Obvious is knocking
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: on the door. Now, this is the oldest sermon in
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: the Bible of sports cliches. If you study the Bible,
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: the sports cliche Bible, this is the oldest sermon.
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: It's Chapter three, verse sixteen.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: Thou shall not say anything negative about the backup quarterback,
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: And now shall say I am excited to see what
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: the backup quarterback can do whenever the starter gets hurt.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: That's what you're supposed to say. It's in the sports
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: cliche Bible.
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: Bible. So they all read from the same hymns. They
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: all do. John Lynch is just running through the.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: Greatest hits album of General Manager Karaoke Night. He's doing
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: all the classics. We believe in the next man up.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: We're confident in our guys. It's an opportunity for Mac
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: to go out there and compete. It's yeah, come on,
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: like all of a sudden, he's like big balls out
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: there running around. It's all smoking mirrors, the disco ball
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: and Lynch is the wedding DJ, playing YMCA at the wedding.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: It's not believe this is an obligation. It is an
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: obligation for John Lynch to do this, And like what
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: is he supposed to say? Yeah, we're absolutely screwed. It's
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: John Lynch here the forty nine ers, and I gotta
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: tell you, I would bet the mortgage on the New
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: Orleans Saints this weekend because mac Jones is a human
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: checkdown machine. He's got no confidence in fact, we're actually
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: gonna have him. We're a diaper because we're waiting for
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: him to poop his pants. Well that happened in the
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: first quarter, maybe not maybe the second. And we brought
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: four diapers, one for each quarter for mac Jones. So
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: each quarter we're gonna change the diaper. When he poops,
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: the diaper will be good to go. And you might
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: want to hide the women and hide the children. It's
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: like when you tell your buddy you're excited to go
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: to his kid's violin recital, when you know you're not
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: excited to go to his kid's violin recital. In fact,
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: you're trapped, you feel like you have to do it,
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: and then when you're.
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: There, you're you're forced to be there.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: But either listen John Lynch preaching from the Bible, the
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: sports cliche Bible and the good News Again. You're playing
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: the Saints and they are as close.
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: To an automatic win.
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: They are automatica they're close to being excommunicated from the NFL.
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: They're so bad and they are terrible, and so yeah,
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: you should win this game.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna dominate. I'd be stunned if
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: they dominate really well. Saints are terrible, but they're got
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: a couple guys on defense that are halfway decent and
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: Mac Jones is just dreadful.
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: Though, Like over under over under.
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: Two hundred and ten yards of offense for the forty
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: nine ers against the Saints, they should be way over that.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: They should be way over two hundred and ten yards.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: I'm not so sure that they're gonna be over that.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: I'm not so confident they're gonna get over that total.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: A low scoring game, all right, final point. We now
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: go to Nashville, the Music City, where Titans quarterback Cam Ward,
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: good old cam Ward, filling up.
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: The content machine. He was the number one overall.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: Number of NFL draft back in the in the earlier
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: part of this year. So cam Ward refused to rip
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: his pass catchers after they had a case, a chronic
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: case of the dropsies in the game against the Broncos.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: They amazingly had the hands of stone. I guess they
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: looked at Medusa. They turned the stone. Very sad. Cam
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: Ward said, quote, I'm never going to get on those
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: guys for dropping.
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: A ball, he said.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: He went on very philosophical about the situation. He said,
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: bad plays are going to happen. The biggest thing is
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: when we get back to the huddle, cam Ward said,
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: we have to always have a next play mentality. Here's
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: another guy reading out of these sports cliche bible, very excited.
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: Unbelievable.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: All right, so let us discuss the question, what's your
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: judgment on cam Ward defending his pass catchers for the
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: Titans and saying that he is not going to criticize
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: them at all for dropping the ball. So this one
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: is not just by the book. This is over the top.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: This is over the top, is what it is. It's
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: cam Ward turning into mister Miagi, next play mentality, young
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: grasshopper Confucius.
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: Of the huddle.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: Reality check right, you're not. I don't think you're babysitting.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: I have to check your contract. Maybe you our babysitting.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: But Tennessee Whiteouts, who cam Ward said before the season
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: were top five in the NFL. Tennessee Whiteouts dropped so
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: many balls that you thought they were working at Dick's
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: Sporting Goods in the clearance area. They kept dropping the
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: balls in the clearance bin. The receivers were so bad.
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: How bad were.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: Thanks for asking, Ben, I appreciate that that Titan fans
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: like Danny and Nashville were pounding fireball shots and already
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: looking ahead to the mock drafts for twenty twenty six, like, wow,
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: who can we get in the top ten next year?
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: So cam Ward sounded also like if you ever call
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: Walmart customer service and you get through the recorded voices
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: and all that, and you finally find someone and they'll say, well, yeah,
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: and I'm.
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: Sorry about dad. Come back.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: We'll do better next time, you know that kind of thing.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: In this case, we'll do better on the next play'll
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: be fine. Next play will be fine. And so cam
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: ward of the Titans. Just wanted the role of peacekeeper,
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: and then he became the therapist and the spiritual advisor
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: and all that. Unfortunately, do your job as an old
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: BELICHICKI in line, he'll be running the Titans offense. If
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: these guys don't start catching passes and they play the
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: Rams this weekend, then the Titans offense will go straight
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: into a brick wall faster than the iconic Y League
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: coyote from Acme with a rocket strapped to his back.
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: Just kaboomkaboom, gaboom, ga boom, kaboom, kaboom kaboom.
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Mellor
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: Here we go here, how about that?
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: I said, here we go. It's great, all right, Rubalo.
• 33:25
  Speaker 8: So it's being reported that the Falcons are willing to
• 33:27
  Speaker 8: trade Kirk Cousins during the season, but they're asking price
• 33:29
  Speaker 8: is considered high. That, coupled with the fact that Cousins
• 33:32
  Speaker 8: can reject any trade, has created the expectation that he
• 33:35
  Speaker 8: will stay in Atlanta for the whole season.
• 33:37
  Speaker 9: Do you think that's the case, Ben.
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: No, I don't think that's the case, because what fun
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: is it. I know he's making the money, he'll make
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: the money either way, but.
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: You want to play.
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: And I don't believe that they're going to keep him
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: because inevitably, we've already seen one starting quarterback get hurt,
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: brock Purty. There'll be other quarterbacks to get hurt. And
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: it's like the Falcons are just kind of waiting around.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: It's a master class. You wait around, hopefully it doesn't
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: turn into a disaster class, and you wait for a
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: big time, top ten quarterback to get hurt. Brock Perty's
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: not a top ten quarterback, and then you can trade
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins.
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: Problem solved.
• 34:07
  Speaker 8: Next, Browns players Denzel Ward and Jerry Judy both expressed
• 34:10
  Speaker 8: the reporters that they believe being eleven and a half
• 34:12
  Speaker 8: point underdogs against the Ravens this week is disrespectful. Yes, Ben,
• 34:17
  Speaker 8: is is that too high of a spread? Disrespectful?
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: Even well, if you watch Benny versus the Penny, I
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: am taking the Browns, it's not disrespectful.
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: Your team sucks, That's why it is the way it is.
• 34:27
  Speaker 8: Next Ben, if the Pirates continue to let down Paul
• 34:30
  Speaker 8: Skeens and he finishes the season with a losing record.
• 34:32
  Speaker 9: Could he lose out on the cy Young?
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he could lose out on the cy Young. But
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: it's the old baseball riders that won't vote for him.
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: The new baseball riders, they don't care he could lose
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: every game. They still vote Paul Skin's a cy Young
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: because he's got the good analytics.
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: How did we do? Coople mass the sedition that if
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: they win, I won get. I believe that's a perfect week.

  Speaker 3: Benny versus the penny?
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: What Benny on Henny versus the penny? That surfer Todd
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: the comedian? What was blind Scott afraid of as a child?
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: What the light that said Noah in Austin? If people
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: see red when they're angry, what does blind Scott see?
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: What black? That said Noah in Austin? Thank you for that.
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: I think blind Scott's off his meds. I don't know
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: what that is to be a ha ha.
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: Okay, that was definitely not a ha ha ha. Those

• 36:54
  Speaker 1: do blind Scott and Aaron Rodgers have in common? What
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: they've both got used to being in the dark? That's
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: Eric in Kansas. Did you hear the blind Scott had
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: to return his Ai sex doll.
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: For being defective? Now, Yeah, it's a weird story.
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: I guess it kept putting him in the friend zone,
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: so he returned it.
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: So that's a milkman Mike in Colorado. These are actual
• 37:26
