  Speaker 1: what is the word? What is the word for Patrick Mahomes' performance?
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: or lack thereof, with the Chiefs on Sunday night. Kansas
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: City knocked from the ranks of the unbeaten. Did the Seahawks'
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: offense under Sam Darnold solve things, or is there something
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: else going on? And should the Chiefs be looking to
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: trade for some wide receiver help and a real stinker
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: in the Sunday night game? We'll talk about all that
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: and more right now. Here it is, our number one.

  Speaker 1: you're just watching a highlight. Don't be that guy. Catch
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: every play as it happens. NFL on Fox. Streaming on
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Fox One. You've got to check that out. And I
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: know you will. I know you will. All right, so
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: our lead this hour from the Sunday night NFL game
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: in the Pacific Northwest, a made-for-television classic, which did not
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: live up to the hype. It did not. The Week
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: 7 NFL card. On a Sunday, anyway, ending with what
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: was supposed to be a humdinger of a matchup. You
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: had Patrick Mahomes, the 5-0 Chiefs coming in, taking on
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Sam Darnold. And the Seahawks, who were 3-3 on the season.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Mike Tirico, Chris Collinsworth waxing loquacious on NBC. So I
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: don't know if you were watching or not. We watched,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: so you would not have to. And what we watched...
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: was a one-man wrecking crew as Jackson Smith and Jigba
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: putting on a show, zigging when the Chiefs were zagging
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: and zagging when the Chiefs were zigging. As he got
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: her done, nine catches, 150 yards, and a touchdown and
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: a partridge in a pear tree. The Seahawks hand the
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Chiefs their first L. You eat the L! So Kansas
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: City will not go 17-0. They lose the Sunday night game.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Sam Darnold Had 257 yards to score. And, as always,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: just a bonehead interception. He's good for that. He's really
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: good for that. And Seahawks get to 4-3. Someone named
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Emmanuel Wilson. We don't know who that is. But he
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: had 100 yards and a touchdown in the backfield for
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks. The better story, though, is in the losing
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: locker room where Patrick Mahomes... was driving the struggle bus
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: for the Chiefs offense there. Mahomes had just 165 yards passing,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: which I'm told is not good. And an interception. The
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Chiefs dropped to 5-1 on the season. And Kenneth Walker III,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: this was the Kenneth Walker III revenge game. Revenge!
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: Revenge!
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: The Super Bowl MVP had a dud. Had a dud
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: there as he was held to 36 yards. That's it
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: on 14 carries. And so Andy Reid's Chiefs with a
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: forgettable night all the way around there as they are
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: into the loser's column. That is a good jumping-off point.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Let us discuss the question. What is the word? What
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: is the word for Patrick Mahomes' performance with the Chiefs'
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: offense there on Sunday night NFL football? So I've got flippers...
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Rubik's Cube, and Flying J. And we will combine all
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: of these things together. And we are going to give
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: you a tongue lashing is what we're going to do. Well, literally,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: it's just radio. It's so simple. It's a radio show. Now,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: before we get into this, let's hear from Patrick Mahome. Mahomey!
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Patrick Williams, Chiefs quarterback here, and he points out that
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: this was not, not a masterpiece by the Chiefs. You
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: got your tail kicked.
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: Didn't execute offensively, especially around that midfield area. Kept us
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: away from a lot of points, or at least enough
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: points to be competitive. But it's stuff you got to
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: learn from. That's obviously a really good defense, and we
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: didn't execute at a high enough level to have success.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Here's more from Mahomes. The Seahawks defense able to shove
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: their will against the offensive line for the Chiefs and
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: in his result against Mahomes. Here's Mahomes on the pressure.
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, obviously a little bit, but I thought
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: especially early in the game, I thought my feet were
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: kind of getting me into trouble where I could have
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: maybe sat in the pocket and made some of the
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: throws down the field. I got better a little bit
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: later in the game. But at the same time, whenever
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: you play a team like that, you can't let them
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: get ahead and kind of get into a game they
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: want to play because obviously they've had a lot of
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: success doing that. And so you've got to be better
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: starting faster, especially with me, and then try to do
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: better throughout the entire game.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Well, the good news is you can't start any worse.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: You didn't score in the first half of the game.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: So it's not like you have anywhere like, wow, you
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: scored 10 points. No, you scored a field goal. You're
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: better going forward. Anyway, here's Andy Reid. I'm sure Andy
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: will be very satisfied with his performance. Right, Andy Reid?
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: All three phases.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: We struggled.
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: Oh, okay.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: We've got to do better.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Sure.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: And that's my responsibility.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 7:48
  Speaker 6: I take full responsibility for this. We've got to play
• 7:53
  Speaker 6: better as a team, a tough place to play, but
• 7:55
  Speaker 6: this is all part of it. They're a good football team,
• 7:57
  Speaker 6: and they played well. My hat goes off to them.
• 8:01
  Speaker 6: there's not a whole lot of stats that I can
• 8:03
  Speaker 6: share with you that really make any sense. Maybe other
• 8:06
  Speaker 6: than third downs, both sides of the ball, we can
• 8:09
  Speaker 6: do a better job with those. But we've got a
• 8:12
  Speaker 6: great locker room here and the guys will get back
• 8:14
  Speaker 6: in and get themselves ready to play against a good
• 8:16
  Speaker 6: Denver team this next week.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: So I thought the Chiefs were going to quit and forfeit,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: but apparently they're going to keep playing. So that's good news.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: We'd like to alert all the other NFL fans that
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: the Chiefs are not going to give up, that a
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: bad night is not going to end their season. So
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: we can move on with that. Back to the question,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: what is the word? Again, what is the word for
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes and the performance of the Chiefs offense on
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Sunday night? So my word is alarming. Capital A, alarming.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: Every time the Chiefs offense takes the field, you expect
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: to see a lot of magic. This year, not last year.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: Last year was a debacle. You thought, well, this year
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: they've been the top offensive team in the NFL. And
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: you say, okay. So you got the magic. And Sunday night,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: the rabbit was dead, and the magician lost his hat.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: That's not good. Mahomes is supposed to be match-up proof.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: That's the thing that's a little annoying if you're following
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: the NFL. Mahomes is supposed to be match-up proof. The
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: human cheat code. Seattle's a good defense. Yes, this is
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: not new. We've known Seattle has a good defense. We
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: got that. They also lost to Washington. That Seahawks defense
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: lost to the team that doesn't even have a name.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: They've got a generic name. They used to be called
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: the Redskins. That Seahawks team lost to that squad. So
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: they got that in them. And you look at this
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: and you're like, my God. So congratulations to the Seahawks defense.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: But that's why Kansas City pays Patrick Mahomes the GDP
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: of small island nations with his contract and all that. Instead,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: the chief's offense was not was not doing anything. It
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: was swimming against the tide is what they were doing here.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: And they went out and bought went to Wal-Mart. They
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: bought some flippers. They bought concrete flippers, which I don't
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: think is a good idea. I don't think it's a
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: good idea to wear concrete flippers. And they sank to
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: the bottom of Pugin Sound with those on. And so
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: the force field, whatever force field Mahomes has had, there
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: were some cracks there in the windshield. And Seattle, I
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: don't think they exposed any secret formula. It's not like
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: you can just repeat this. It was simply Mahomes looked
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: very ordinary. Now, we'll get to the wide receivers because
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: that was part of the problem. But Mahomes is supposed
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: to elevate. wide receivers. That clearly did not happen. Now, meanwhile,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: the other part of this, the story of Mahomes looking
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: ordinary and that's a big deal, but this wasn't a
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: bad quarter. It was not like it was a bad quarter.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: This was an entire evening of constipation by the offense
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: for Kansas City. So they might want to get out
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: and get some Metamucil and try to get that system
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: flowing a little bit, get some Fiber. The offense looking
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: like they were trying to win the Indianapolis 500, except
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: they were racing in a Frigidaire refrigerator. Good luck winning
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: the Indy 500 if you're racing in a Frigidaire refrigerator. Now,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: on the Seattle side, page two. Did the Seahawks solve
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: their problems? The Seahawks offense under Sam Darnold. Did the
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Seahawks offense under Sam Darnold solve things? I'd say that's
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: a premature celebration because this is the same exact Seattle
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: team that we've seen in this last couple of years here. Seattle,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: I don't think they fixed anything. They found a matchup
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: that they could exploit, and they took advantage of it.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: Good for them. There's a massive difference. The Seahawks did
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: not solve the Rubik's Cube, if you will. Jackson Smith
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: and Jigba just peeled off the stickers, and he rearranged
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: the colors on the Rubik's Cube. But he's always been
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: that guy. The last couple of years, that's it. We
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: go back to the point. Great quarterbacks are supposed to
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: elevate average wide receivers, and average quarterbacks need great receivers
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: to elevate them. We know which one Sam Darnold is.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: We know that. Darnold is the guy who looks great
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: when the restaurant has a five-star chef. It's like, wow,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: this is great. I love this. You take away that
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: five-star chef. from the restaurant, and Sam Darnold's serving up
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: microwaved frozen dinners. A little TV dinner for you. That's
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: what you got. And Jackson Smith and Jigba continues to
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: be the engine. Can you imagine if he got hurt? Oh,
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: my God. Seattle might not win a game. They might
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: not win a game if he misses an extended period
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: of time. That's it. But this is the Jackson Smith
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: and Jigba experience. Featuring Sam Darnold. He's like an opener.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: You go to a comedy club, you got the opener,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: and then the main comedian is the one that comes
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: on later. That's JSN at this point. And the chief secondary.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: My God. <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL>
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: But he does get an assist from the Kansas City
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: secondary that made him look like a little bit of
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: Jerry Rice, a little bit of Randy Moss, Calvin Johnson, T.O.,
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: all mixed together, all rolled into one. Nice casserole. And
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: he put a spell, Jackson Smith and Jigba, on the
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: KC defense. They did play like they were in goblin mode.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: It was a lot of goblin mode. Anyway, here's the
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: head coach of the Seattle football team, Mike McDonald, who
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: apparently believes that everything's coming up roses there in Seattle.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: I'm really proud of our team. Just really proud of
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: the attitude.
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: People being great teammates, having each other's backs, pushing each other,
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: and I think we got better.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: So it's a great opportunity.
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: But the opportunity, there's a sense of urgency now to
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: take another step as a football team.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: So it'll be fun the next couple days, and we'll
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: get to work on Chicago. So I guess they didn't
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: have urgency before when they lost to the Broncos and
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: the 49ers and the Commanders. But now they have urgency.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: Can I ask why they didn't have urgency earlier? We're
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: not supposed to talk about it. That's taboo. Apparently we're
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: not allowed to talk about that. Okay, fine. All right. Again,
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: before we get too carried away here, the Kansas City
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: Chiefs secondary, which is new and improved. There's some new
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: names there, and they've been doing fine. But on this
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: particular night, disheveled, staggered, and bedraggled are words we can
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: use to describe the Chiefs secondary there. It looked like
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: they had spent three nights sleeping on the floor at
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: a Greyhound bus station. the way they attempted to tackle Jackson, Smith,
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: and Jigby. Everyone knew where the ball was going, and
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: they still couldn't stop them, which is a pathetic performance
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: by the Kansas City secondary. Now, the last word here.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: Considering how inept the wide receivers were for the Chiefs
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: and were inching closer to the trade deadline, November 10th
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: is the trade deadline today, In the NFL, the question
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: is bouncing around the echo chamber. Should the Chiefs be
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: looking to trade for receivers? Should they be trying to
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: upgrade at the receiver position? And the only plausible answer,
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: the only plausible answer is, hell yes! Yeppers! You gotta
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: do it. I'm nodding my head like a Hawaiian girl
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: dashboard bobblehead. On an old Cadillac. Yes.
• 15:52
  Speaker 7: Right?
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: Do it. I'm not a Chiefs fan, but Kansas City
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: had six catches. Now, they got a couple guys out
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: that are injured, but Rashi Rice and a couple other
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: guys dinged up. But six catches, 39 yards from the
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: receivers that played in this game. That is not a
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: winning formula. Fair to say.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: Yes?
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: Okay. Fair to say. And that's bad. That is bad
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: to the bone. Bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Just nothing. And yeah, Mahomes is supposed to elevate those guys,
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: but if he can't elevate them, if they're so bad
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: Mahomes can't elevate them, then go get somebody else in there.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: And there was some serious stagnation. It's like a clogged
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: drain of at a Flying J truck stop bathroom. It
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: was bad. There was a lot of hair and gunk
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: and I think truck stop fungus. Our guy was in
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: there and he stuffed it up. But the Mahomes does
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: need some artillery here if the guys that are hurt
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: aren't going to be back anytime soon. So they're definitely
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: lacking the wow factor. Not a lot of that going on.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: So you're asking Mahomes, listen, turn the chicken feathers into
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: chicken salad on this night he was unable to do
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: that but if you're brett veach the gm in kansas
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: city you got to go out and go to the
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: superstore and see what you can find and the cupboards
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: are bare there's not a lot out there like the
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: names that are being bandied about are not this the
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: most exciting names they're just not the the issue is
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: the chief's receiving room is being held together by a
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: little bit of duct tape and some bubble gum. And
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: I think they've got some of Andy Reid's mustache wax
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: from a couple years ago. It was laying around for
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: some reason. They're using that to help prop up the
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: wide receiver room. But the names, the biggest names that
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: are out there are Jerry Judy. Yeah, Jerry Judy from
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: the Jetsons. And then Brian Thomas Jr., an epic bust
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: from Jacksonville. Those are the two names. that are most
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: prominently mentioned. So, good luck. Those seem like squirt guns
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: to me, and the Chiefs have a lot of squirt
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: guns right now. It is the Ben Maller Show. We're

  Speaker 8: Welcome to Football Doesn't Lie.
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: Hi, I'm Bill Parcells.
• 19:21
  Speaker 8: And I'm Catherine Zazzora.
• 19:22
  Speaker 9: I have a lot of experience in the game of football, Catherine.
• 19:26
  Speaker 8: And I'm learning the game with Bill's help. Every week,
• 19:29
  Speaker 8: we're going to talk about the NFL slate through the
• 19:31
  Speaker 8: lens of Bill's expertise as he coaches me from novice
• 19:34
  Speaker 8: fan to football expert over the course of the season.
• 19:37
  Speaker 9: You know, I'm looking forward to this show, Catherine, and
• 19:39
  Speaker 9: hopefully we can give our audience a little in-depth look
• 19:43
  Speaker 9: into the inner sanctum of pro football that they can't
• 19:46
  Speaker 9: get anywhere else.
• 19:47
  Speaker 8: Tune in every thursday for unfiltered stories from coach parcels
• 19:51
  Speaker 8: analysis on the state of the modern game and education
• 19:54
  Speaker 8: on how football really works.
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: Continuity is very important but what happens when you get
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: good coaches on your staff and people begin to recognize
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: them then they want to hire them and then you
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: can't stop a guy from trying to improve himself but
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: you have to replace.
• 20:11
  Speaker 8: Them Because once you understand what's going on inside the
• 20:15
  Speaker 8: mind of the coaches, you'll understand more about the whole game.
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: So all aspects can be discussed.
• 20:20
  Speaker 9: The only thing I haven't done, because I didn't have
• 20:23
  Speaker 9: enough money, I don't own the team.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: I never owned a team.
• 20:27

• 21:51
  Speaker 1: Stop Fungus writes in, says it makes no sense to
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: interview these coaches, athletes, when all you get is every
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: cliche under the sun.
• 21:57
  Speaker 7: Nope.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: I completely agree with you, but the people that run television,
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: the morons who run television, these geniuses are like, oh, no,
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: we've got to get our money's worth. We've got to
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: get the jocks on. Complete waste of time. One out
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: of a thousand is any good. What is? The level
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: of meathead nonsense from these guys is to infinity and beyond.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: I completely agree with you, Chuck Stopfungus. And they go
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: out of their way to not say anything. And every
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: once in a while they F up. But does that
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: really make it worthwhile for the 999 other times you're
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: wasting your time? DJ Spin from San Diego writes in.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: He says, Hello, Benjamin. I pulled out a 1980s radio.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: Put four C batteries in. And I'm listening to you tonight.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: It doesn't help. There you go. All right, calm down, DJ. Patrick,
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: come on. That's cool, though. That is like a 1980s
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: vintage radio. I love that it's still worse. I thought
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: they changed a lot of that stuff.
• 22:58
  Speaker 8: I don't know.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: I thought the technology changed a little bit since the 1980s.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: Bagel Boy writes in, says the Chiefs wide receivers suck.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: And Brett Veach better be looking. He said cooking on
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: a receiver. But let's not forget the barbecue chicken alert.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: He says, I mean, are you speaking in some weird
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: Klingon language here? Yeah. Nostradamus writes in. He says, spot on, Maller.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: The Seahawks, while it was a nice night, that is
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: not a sustainable formula. And Sam Darnold really did F
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: up in the pass in the end zone that should
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: have been a touchdown for Seattle and instead was picked up. Listen,
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: I'm proud of you, Nostradamus. You're coming around a little bit.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: I'm proud of you. You're coming around a little bit.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: The Baltimore Freeloader account writes and says nobody is running
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: on the table, not even KC. Nobody's running the table,
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: not even KC, while the Ravens choked again. And you
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: can't blame this on Harbaugh. And Lamar, the AFC is
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: still wide open. Unless you're a few of the bottom feeders.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: Speaking of feeding, where can I get a free meal
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: right now? Well, you can always pretend it's your birthday,
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: but you have to go on an app. And we
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: tried this with Weed Man Hippie when it was his birthday.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: We tried to get him some free food. And it
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: was a bit of a mess because everything needed you
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: to fill out 17 different web pages and all that stuff.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: And so it was a... Yeah, I plan on doing
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: that on Tuesday. You're going to try to get all
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: your free meals and all that? Yeah, as many as
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: I can. I know coffee shops do it. Yeah, there's
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: a lot of places that'll do it. The problem is
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: they want you to- A lot of them are going
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: to be app members now. Yeah, they want to track you.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: So you are the product. If you don't mind having
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: all your personal information being given to your favorite restaurant,
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: then you're fine. You'll get a free drink. You'll get
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: a nice little free drink and you'll get- maybe some fries,
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: and then they'll track you everywhere you go. They'll know
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: every movement you make, and they'll have all your information.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: Femi writes and says, Ben, how about them Vikings? Are
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: you on the bandwagon yet? Defense wins championships. Oh, my God.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: Could the Vikings be the first undefeated team that has
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: to go out and trade for a quarterback? Holy crap. Oh,
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: my God. Kyler Murray? Wow. He blows. I knew he'd
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: be bad. I didn't realize he'd be this bad. My God.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: They got to trade for a quarterback. They don't have
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: a quarterback. You can't take him seriously.
• 25:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: All right. Yacht Rock Tom writes in from Parts and Oasis.
• 25:38
  Speaker 5: The L.A.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: Teams aren't exactly playing lights out in the sports gambling
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: rig league. Vegas is lousy, but I wouldn't celebrate if
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: you're a Charger or Rams fan in Los Angeles. Well,
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: that's a non sequitur. Tom, I didn't mention the Rams
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: or the Chargers. I don't know why you would bring
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: them up. I have no idea. Alf the Alien O'Piner
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: writes and says, After the weekend kerfluffle with the Fifth Hour,
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: I ended up listening to an ancient episode of the
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: Mailbag and hit the trifecta. Gagon ripped Lee off the
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: top into a letter from I'm a Pilot. Next up
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: was Tammy ripping Helen and Stu, and Helen and Stu
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: were budding. Yeah, and they're all gone. Isn't that great, Alf?
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: That's an old episode of the podcast. We have not
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: heard from Helen and Stu in a long time. I
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: don't know what happened to them. Tammy doesn't participate in
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: the show anymore. Gagon retired to Florida. He eats the
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: early bird special. Lee doesn't work at the company anymore.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: They're all gone. All those people are gone. They've all
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: moved on somewhere else. So there you go. Just a
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: few years ago. That was not that long ago. Michael
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: in Tulsa writes in. He says, Ben, I'd like to
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: thank Harrison Bucker for helping pilot the vomit comet of
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: my Kansas City Chiefs. Forget about trading for wide receivers.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: How about a new kicker? That was a body blow
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: when Darnold coughed up a furball, as he usually does.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: And then the Seahawks got what should have been just
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: a gift three points to end the first half. And
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: then the idiot kicker was unable to get her done.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: It's a bad job. By them, who else do we have?
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: Let's see here. Can't read that. Curmudgeon Wayne in Duluth says,
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: How about them Seahawks? Sam Darnold leads them to a victory,
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: which now makes the Vikings the only undefeated team.
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: But if you had $ 1, 000 of money to bet on
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: a team to win the Super Bowl, you could have
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: the Vikings or the field. Would you take the Vikings?
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: Hell no! You wouldn't take the Vikings. Let's go to
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: the phones. And a man who's celebrating... Because they won
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: in overtime. Who are they? The Giants. Moving Man Matt
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: is checking in. Hello, Moving Man Matt. Welcome.
• 27:51
  Speaker 5: Do we have a quarterback controversy? Where?
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: What are we talking about?
• 27:56
  Speaker 5: I mean, when Dart comes back, I mean, what's going
• 28:00
  Speaker 5: to happen here? You know, look, J.J. 's looking good.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes. As long as he can stop playing right
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: now and not play anymore, he's really solid. Solid.
• 28:13
  Speaker 5: The Giants, like I said, they're going to win that division.
• 28:17
  Speaker 5: They're going to be slightly over.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: 500.
• 28:19
  Speaker 5: The tie is going to help. And they're going to
• 28:21
  Speaker 5: lose to Seattle in the first round.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: Print it. No, Seattle's going to be a first-round. They're
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: not going to get a bye. Seattle's going to be
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: a first-round opponent?
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: Correct.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: Okay. So who's going to pass Seattle by?
• 28:34
  Speaker 5: San Francisco.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: Oh, the 49ers. Okay. Yeah, they lost to the Falcons.
• 28:38
  Speaker 5: That's how it's going to go.
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: Why?
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: Well, we don't need to watch then. You've figured it
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: all out. We're good.
• 28:43
  Speaker 5: I really hope this is on your list, but can
• 28:47
  Speaker 5: we talk about the fact that Gant Scadaboo got called
• 28:52
  Speaker 5: for a personal foul for playing the position of running back?
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: Yes, that is on my big board here, is Cam Skadable.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: Put his head down, which I guess you can't do,
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: even though there's... Isn't that how you play football? If
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: you're engaging as an offensive player, don't you put your
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: head down? Isn't that normally how you play football?
• 29:09
  Speaker 5: Mike Allstott would have had 8 million yards in penalties
• 29:14
  Speaker 5: in today's NFL.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't get it. They're trying to walk a tightrope,
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: the NFL. They're like, well, we had to fine these
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: guys for playing football, but we want to sell you football.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: We want you to buy football. Where are you headed,
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: by the way, Matt? Where are you going?
• 29:31
  Speaker 5: I can actually report that I literally, in the middle
• 29:35
  Speaker 5: of this call, just passed a place that was the
• 29:40
  Speaker 5: site of a Mallard meet and greet this summer, Baller
• 29:42
  Speaker 5: Park in Worcester.
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: Oh, nice.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: All right. Beautiful ballpark. It was a mini meet and greet,
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: but I threw out the first pitch there. Greatest first
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: pitch of all time. And Anthony Volpe of the Yankees
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: was forced to watch me throw out the first pitch
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: because he was playing in AAA at the time. So,
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: for the Yankees, Scranton-Wilkes-Barre. So there is that. All right, Matt.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: Check in. I know you're excited. I know you've got
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: your J.J. McCarthy jersey on order, so that'll be here
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: in a couple days. So congratulations.
• 30:11
  Speaker 5: It's nice to not suck.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: All right. That's true. That's true. The Giants are 4-2-1.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: They don't suck. Thank you. Great moving, man. He's got
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: the mobile Maller billboard. Coming to a city near you,
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: he's got the Ben Maller show on the big rig
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: in a couple of spots there. It is a must-see.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: If you're in the Mallard militia, you've got to check
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: it out. You've got to check it out. All right.
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: Scrooge Wrightson says, how about my Raiders, baby? We're back.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: They are who we thought they were. Tremendous. Boy, all
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: those Raider guys.
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: Raiders!
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: Raiders! Raiders! They had it all figured out. The dumbest
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: people in the world, the Raider fanboys. I love this job.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: People say, why are you doing the same job? 25
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: years doing talk. Actually, more than that now. Doing sports
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: talk radio. And then it's interactions with complete knuckle-dragging Neanderthal
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: Raider fans that I love. And these idiots. They got
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: off to a 3-0 start. These morons. Oh, we're good.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: We're good.
• 31:12
  Speaker 5: We're good.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: We're back, baby.
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: No, you're not, dummy. I love it.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: It is so good. Oh, my God. I live for that.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: I live for those moments. And they're all a bunch
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: of cockroaches. The cockroaches hiding behind the fridge, cowards. Front-running losers.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: Front-running losers. The Raider fanboy. Where you at, Mike? Oh, yeah,
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: where you at, tough guys? Come on, call right now,
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: tough guys. I like losers. I love losers.
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: Ah.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: Life is right. Everything's where it needs to be. The
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: Raiders are back to being the Raiders. Those are your
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: daddy's Raiders. Those are your granddad's Raiders. Those are your
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: great-granddad's Raiders. The greatness of suck for the Raiders. Let's
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: go to Dominican Mike, who is up next. He is
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: a traveling man. He's back now. What's going on, Dominican Mike?
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: He's been all over the place. What's going on, Mikey Mike?
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: Hey, good evening, Ben. I'm in San Francisco right now.
• 32:12
  Speaker 5: I'm on my way back home.
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: I was in Hochuland City for a couple of days,
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: you know, and I do have to apologize. I really
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: hope you haven't reached out for the fifth hour mail
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: back on my email. Because I didn't check my email
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: in weeks. So I apologize.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: That's all right. But you're back, and maybe we'll get
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: you on next week. I got you.
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: Very good.
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. And actually, I just had an issue with a
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: story like yours where they double-booked my seat. Remember, you
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: had a story where you were.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yes. I almost got arrested in Memphis because
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: they double-booked the seat, and I didn't— I know. I
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: had the.
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: Same situation, but I have a superpower. of course, that
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: you know about. I know. My superpower, actually, is to
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: stay in my.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: Seat, you know? I do not have the same superpower,
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: so I went to coach. That's what I did.
• 33:03
  Speaker 7: Yes, no, no.
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: So I'm here in my first class. But, yeah, man,
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: it was great, like I said, to be in a
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: fortunate city. But I was away from sports for the
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: most part, which kind of sucked. because I know the Rays.
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: I mean, I have a year in Tampa, and I
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: saw they lost two games and this and that. So
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: I'm just glad to be back in the States, and
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: I'm glad to be able to call you live because
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: it is so hard to call you live living in Florida.
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: Let's have an Arizona. It's so hard to call you
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: when you're live, you know what I'm saying?
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: No, no, I hear you.
• 33:41
  Speaker 5: I got you.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: What time is your flight, by the way? Are you
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: taking the red-eye here?
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: Yes, I'm taking the red-eye. And also, on the fifth hour,
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: by the way, it is safe to go to Mexico, dude.
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: I don't understand why people are so scared of that.
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: It is safe to go to Mexico as long as
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: you use common sense. Tijuana is safe. Mexico City is safe.
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: Cancun is safe. You know, um.
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I feel the same. People were– I got
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: an email from guys all freaked out about me, but
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: I felt all right there.
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: I didn't feel– Yeah, it was great, man. I'm glad
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: you finally got to go, man. I'm glad you actually
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: left the country for once. I know.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: I don't normally leave the country. I normally just stay
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: in the States, but I do need to do more
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: of that. Well, you've been all over the place, Dominic, Mike.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: I'm jealous, man.
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: Literally all over the place. Literally everywhere in the world
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: I've been. That's awesome.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: I'm just glad to go back home, okay?
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: I got you.
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: All right, safe travels, buddy. All right, there's a great
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: Dominican Mike. All right, there you go. Get that out
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: of the country for a little while. He's back. Got
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: the red-eye flight, and he's on his way back to Florida.
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: Let's see. Plane probably will take off a little after midnight,
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: I think, and get back to Florida. It's like a
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: five-hour flight, so probably be in the car by 8 a.m.
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: Eastern time. Yeah, depending on how much luggage he has.
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: He might have a little... situation i'm sure sure he'll
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: be all right well hey the barnstorming how about the
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: barnstorming as a aaron rogers he played didn't play all
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: that great the pittsburgh football team won another clunker of
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: a game against the saints tremendous job by new orleans
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: to not score in the second half failing to cover
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: the spread. Aaron Rodgers, though, claimed that the NFL back
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: in the COVID year, the NFL discussed having all 32
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: teams play 16 games in 16 international locations during one
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: week of the season, having a global takeover of the
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: NFL barnstorming. Rodgers said the proposal was considered during the
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: collective bargaining agreement conversations back in 2020 and He was
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: the Packers player representative at the time. Rodgers, of course,
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: criticized the NFL owners for prioritizing a 17th regular season
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: game and additional revenue over the international week concept and
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: all that. The original idea, according to Rodgers, they would
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: have a 16-game regular season, two bye weeks, including one
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: associated with international travel. Rogers endorsed bringing NFL football to
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: more countries. Isn't the plan Rogers is planning on leaving
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: the United States, isn't that one of the rumors on
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: the internet that I read somewhere that he's going to
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: leave when he's done playing and go live abroad with
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: his fake wife somewhere else? So, there you go. And
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: I'm fascinated by this because it does not seem the
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: rest of the world gives a rat's ass about our football.
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: It's kind of like I go to Vegas every once
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: in a while. I don't go as much because they
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: charge $ 30 for parking at most of the hotels in
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: the Strip, so screw them. So I stopped going as much.
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: But in Vegas, they have that F1 race. Nobody in
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: America cares about F1. They put it there because they
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: are trying to spread F1 to America. So they put
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: the race in Vegas. And everyone's like, well, this sucks.
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: It ruins the Strip experience, and it's a waste. But
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: they do it. Roger Goodell... London, Paris, Dublin, Dubai coming soon. Jacksonville.
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: Just playing different countries pretty much every week if they could.
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: There you go. All right, it is the Ben Maller Show.
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: Time now for the Who Am I game. And this
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: is where we pretend to be somebody else, and you
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: can figure out who we are and answer this on
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: X at Ben Maller. Since the start of last season,
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: I have a miserable 3-11 record against the spread when
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: my team is favored during the regular season, making me
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: the least profitable quarterback for bettors in the NFL. Again,
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: since the start of last season, I have a miserable
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: 3-11 record against the spread. When my team is favored
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: during the regular season, making me the least profitable quarterback
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: for bettors in the NFL since the start of last season.
