  Speaker 2: Craig reminds me that tire rack dot Com is the
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: way that tire buying should be. So we are back
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: at it. In the audio world. The magic radio.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Box as someone called it in our lead this hour from.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: The Pacific Northwest, as you had Matthew Stafford and the
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: lr I AMS party bus driving in to the Pacific
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Northwest to Chew for a little playdate versus that stiff
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Sam Donald and the Seahawks. You had Alt Michael's there
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: and Herbie on the call on the Amazon And did
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: you watch?
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Were you checking this out? Were you consuming the product? You?
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Maybe not? You were doing some shopping? What were you doing? Really?
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Nothing else going on? There's nothing else to watch.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Well, if you missed it, you missed a hum dinger
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: of a Thursday night game It was kind of like
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: a buffet where they have a little bit of everything.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: You have the seafood over there, you've got steak, there's
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: some pasta if you're if you're a vegan, you can
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: go out the back door there and leave, but a
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: little bit of everything. So the game for many lived
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: up to the advance building and Sam Donald, who was
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: bad to the bone, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad to
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: the bone. Sometimes good things happen to bad performances, and
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Sam Donald connecting with Jackson Smith and Jigba for a
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: touchdown and overtime after the Rams had gone down and
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: scored a touchdown on a brilliant pass by Matthew Stafford
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: and Pooka Nka and then Seattle said we're gonna go
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: for We're gonna go for the win. And they said
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: we're gonna try to win right here on our two
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: point conversion, knowing that the Rams were just going to
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: go down the field and kick a field goal to
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: win if they did not go for two. And Donald
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: did connect, he found a wide open player in the
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: How does that happen?
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: Does?
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: How does somebody get wide open? At that point?
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: The two point conversion complete, game over, That's it. The
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Seattle Seahawks rallied from a sixteen point fourth quarter deficit,
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: converting on three two point conversions. The math on that
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: is just insane, and of course it's not kosher, so
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: it's not really legit. They end up the end the
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: final score thirty eight to thirty seven on Thursday night.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: So Seattle, for the moment, takes a one game lead
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: in the NFC West.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: But the game was not clean.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: It was marred by controversy as the Seattle football team
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: was not good enough to beat the Rams on their own.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: They needed some help from the league office. And one
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: of the most blatant things I've ever seen in my
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: time watching football, there was a two point conversion that
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: the NFL claimed tied the game at thirty. Now, for
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: our blind listeners, the past hit the ground. Normally that's
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: considered an incomplete pass. It's a good jumping off point
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: because it's really the story everyone's talkalking about.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: Did Sam Darnold and the Seahawks beat the Rams or
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: did the Zebras.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Take down the Rams?
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: So I got Godfather, mister potato Head, and jukebox, and
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: we will combine all of these things together and we
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: are going to make some banana cream pie, which is
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: what was thrown in the face of the La Rams. Now,
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: anybody who knows football knows this game should have ended
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: thirty to twenty eight Rams a two point win in regulation.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: Seattle was given two points out of thin air. Out
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: of thin air. Now, we believe in speaking the truth
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: into the microphones of Fox Sports Radio.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: We can do that. We're not part of the mainstream.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: We're not on during the day six am to six pm.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: They get paid more money and they have nicer cars
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: and all that stuff. But at night we can talk
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: the truth. And the truth is the Rams got the
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: screw job. They did one of the all time horrific calls.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: I I know house to say it for Gayzy Sam
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: Darnold pass deflected intended for the running back Zach Charboneau,
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: and it was ruled correctly on the field incomplete pass.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: That was the right call.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: They got it right.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: However, after a replay review to the league headquarters in
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: New York, it was determined surprisingly that it was no, no, no,
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: not an incomplete pass. You're don't believe your lying eyes.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: Do not believe your lying eyes. It was a it
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: was determined to be a backwards pass, all right, So
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: it was not It was not determined there was a
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: forward pass.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: It was a backward pass. So Scharboneau, who this is
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: my favorite part. So he just la la, la la la.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: He walked over.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: He picked up the ball casually, you know, no concern.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: Uh picked up the loose ball.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: They gave him two points for that.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: It is comically bad, but it's very dusty. It doesn't exist.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: It's not effing real. You can clearly you.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Go back in here it You don't even need to
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: be uh with working eyeballs to know.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: If you go back and listen, you can clearly hear
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: the whistle blow.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: And maybe I'm wrong on this. I know times have changed.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: I guess I'm getting older, but I always thought once
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: the whistle blue, you play through the whistle, that's it.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: Once the whistle blows, plays over, plays over. So the
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: whistle blows, whistle, whistle, whistle, the whistle blows.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: The play dead. Then Charboneau picks up the ball.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: Keep in mind, players on both teams, both teams stop
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: playing because of the whistle blue.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Up nuts at the end.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: There's the whistle, all right, So you got players on
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: Seattle and the Rams who both stopped at the same
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: time because an official blue the whistle and apra e
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: f and kept.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, it was jup digulous. I can't even say it.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: The NFL decided to roll a two point conversion.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: Holcus what this was more than just a guardian angel
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: for the Seattle Seahawks, all right, there's some serious funny
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: business going on. Here is Sean McVay, the Ram coach.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: Who is he gonna get fined for this? Here's McVeagh
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: pointing out, well, that's not kosher.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: What happened. Take a list.
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: I've never quite seen anything like what happened on the
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: two point conversion where you're wined up to kick off.
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: Then they say it's a fumble because they had the
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: clear and obvious recovery. Now you tack it on, you
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: make it a thirty to thirty game.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: Very interesting.
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: Didn't get a clear explanation of everything that went on,
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: just because of some of the timing of it. They
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: were trying to be able.
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: To do that.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: But that's the thing that I've said.
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: I've never seen anything or never been a part of
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: anything like that, and I've grown up around this game.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: I'm not making excuses. We don't do that. I don't
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: believe in that.
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: It doesn't move us forward, but we do want clarity
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: and an understanding of, you know, the things that we
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: can do to minimize that when we rejected the two
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: point conversion.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: All right, So coach McVay, two things. Number one, the
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: reason you've ever seen it's never happened before. This is unprecedented.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: What happened here. This is one of the great injustices
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: in the history of that fraudulent sport, the NFL. Right insane,
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: let's play connected dots Mallard style connected dots.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: All right, So the big story this week.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: In the NFL was Pooka Nakua going on a live stream,
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: right trashing the NFL officials, doing a dance which I
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: apologize for whatever, and ripping Taylor Swift and Jacksonville a
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: bunch of crazy stuff. So Puoka goes out and goes nuclear.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: Has twelve catches. It was like he was running through
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: the Serengetti. Twelve catches, two un of twenty five yards.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: A partrides in the paragy, had two touchdowns, including what
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: should have been.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: The game winner.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: Well name shit entered in regulation but the touchdown and overtime,
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: the story is we connect the dots though. Is Pooka
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: nkou right? He dared to question authority, He questioned the
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: referees on the live stream. Is it a coincidence that
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: a day later this happens?
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Methinks not so much? Right.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: This was big Brother at the NFL sending a clear message.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: This was payback the horse head in the bed from
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: the Godfather, an unmistakable message that was sent by the NFL.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: We control all of this.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: You mess with us again, and the next warning will
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: not be symbolic, Pooka, It's not gonna be. We We
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: have the power to give points that did not get scored.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: We are almighty, omni present worth the NFL. Don't mess
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: with us. Okay.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: That was a horsehead in the bed, is what That was?
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: One thousand percent all right? And I would I would
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: be puking in my mouth if I was a Seattle
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: Seahawk fan right now that I would want to I
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: would really want to vomit at that because you know
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: you're not good enough. You know you're not and you
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: needed you talk about the twelfth man man. How many
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: officials were on the field, that's like the you know, sixteenth, seventeenth, eighteenth, nineteenth, twentieth.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Man, my god, it's so bad. I don't even what
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: to say. It's such a crap call.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: It's not even I mean, they were at McVeigh said,
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: they're lining up for the kickoff and they're like, coach,
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: we've decided to give Seattle two points. They but they
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: didn't score. But yeah, we felt like they needed the
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: two points. We decided we wanted to give them the
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: two points, but they didn't. The play was whistled, Dad,
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: the play was over.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: That was it. But no, we kind of liked them,
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: you know.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: We felt bad for Nostradinas and JJ and Retten and
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: crying Craig and all these fan guys. So we had
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: to give them two points. Okay, thank you?
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: All right, now as for the big picture here the
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: big picture, So the question how concerned because the Rams
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: did end up being given the loss by the NFL.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: So how concerned should Sean McVay be with the Rams
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: lose this game in Seattle thanks to some help by
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: the league office.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: So the Mallard panic meter one to ten, one.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: To ten, I'm at I'm at about a three on
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: the Malard panic meter. It took the league meddling, It
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: took the NFL fuxing around with the outcome of the game.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: People talk about.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: Gambling scandals right in NBA and all this baseball. I mean,
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: this is clear and obvious for most you know. It
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: took the league meddling for Seattle to win this game,
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: which tells you Seattle's not good enough. And keep in mind,
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: the Rams did not have their nuclear torpedo Devonte Adams,
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: the cheat code in the red zone, and they were
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: missing a couple of other starters.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: In this game.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: The Rams put up let me check my notes here,
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: they put up five hundred and eighty one yards and
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: thirty seven points in a place selects to pump their
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: chest out. Talk about how people just don't play well
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: in Seattle. The twelves, Oh, it's very the weather. Top
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: five defense, Sea awusly had a top five defense coming
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: to that game. Top five defense gave up five hundred
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: and eighty one yards and thirty seven points to a
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: team without the without their number two receiver and a
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: couple of other key players.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, so there you go. That's it now. The
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: issue for the Rams, obviously is that you can't factor in.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: How do you game plan for the officials just giving
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: the team two points when they didn't get it.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: There's really nothing to do on that. The Rams defense wears.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: The scarlet letter to some degree here with the capitol
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: d My god, you're up sixteen in the fourth quarter.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: And I know it took the officials helping out Seattle,
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: but that's that's that's not great. And the Rams did
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: play a little mister potato head here, the hot potato
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: game with the you know, they played the hot potato
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: with the live you know, it was like a live
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: grenade they were passing around. It's inexcusable, right, you know,
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: f around you find out. But the NFL certainly helped in.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: And there's a bit of a pattern here the Rams.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: Usually they just lose games more than get beat. Like
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: they didn't lose this game, or they didn't they didn't
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: get beat. I should say the game was given to
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: Seattle in this case, but the fur balls being coughed up,
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: they blew up a sixteen point they really they blew
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: a fourteen point lead because Seattle is given two points.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: So you don't get credit for that. You didn't you
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: didn't earn it. You know, real people know that they
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: did blow a nineteen point lead in Philadelphia earlier this year.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: So that's a bad habit and McVeigh needs to flush
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: that immediately. You look at the big picture, thirty thousand
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: feet up looking down, the Rams are perfectly fine. It's
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: not like they have some kind of home field advantage.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: There's not a moat at Sofi Stadium. They were in
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: the NFC Championship Game a couple of years ago.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: I was there.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: They played the forty nine Ers. They might as well
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: have been played at the old Candlestick Park. There were
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: so many Niner fans it didn't matter. The Rams won
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: the game, and the Rams can win anywhere.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: They're good enough to do that.
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: And as long as Stafford's standing upright and the fellas
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: are relatively healthy.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: You're not ever going to be completely healthy. And the
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: Rams aren't really concerned.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: I mean, they'd love to play Seattle in the NFC
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: Championship Game, and the only way Seattle can win is
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: with some help from the referees from the league office.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: So the panic meter is pretty low, and I'm sure
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: McVeigh will sleep fine knowing that this was out of
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: his control. I mean, the NFL clearly wanted this outcome
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: based on what they did, giving Seattle two points.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: Otherwise the game would have ended thirty to twenty eight.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: That's it. Game over, Rams win by two. All right,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: last word here, So on the.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: Seattle side of things, being given a gift, Merry Christmas,
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: Happy Hanukah? Did Sam Donald save himself with Seattle and
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: that crazy comeback? Because Sam Darnald was just getting roasted
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: and deserved it. He sucked at a time you cannot suck.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: So did Darnald save himself? Because Seattle ended up winning
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: that game? So I'm gonna vote first on this, and
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: I'm going to vote A and absolutely not. I go
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: back to my point earlier. The og know what time
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: it is Seattle right now, they got that shiny record.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: They're now in the penthouse in the NFC West. I
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: wouldn't get comfortable, boys, it's more like a Verbo. It's
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: an Airbnb Seattle standing on a rickety pier and there's
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: a big windstorm coming here, so be careful. And hey,
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: it's great. I wish the Rams had gotten help from
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: the Zebras.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: I didn't know.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: I didn't know that that was possible to get be
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: given two points. I've never seen that before.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: Watch football. I'm getting old. I watched football my entyle live.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: I've ever seen that.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: The Zebras gave them more than a gentle nudge Seattle.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: And you'll call it a league issued shopping cart shove
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: if you will.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: And you know, suddenly some of you are like, oh wait,
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: we beat your Ram the Rams lost, are you well? No,
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: I know about that. I wouldn't. I wouldn't be opening
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: champagne and lighting cigars. I would not do that.
• 17:48
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: Sam Darnold was a haunted house from kickoff pretty much
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: to the curtain call here two touchdowns, two picks. He
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: was sacked four times, and for much of that game
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: he was seeing ghosts. It was like a midnight Mattinee
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: for Sam Darnold. And you know, you just know you
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: can't win with him, so it's like, what are we
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: doing here? It's an exercise in futility for Seattle. The
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: real Seahawk fans know this guy's gonna break just break
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: your back. Seattle won in spite of him, not because
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: of him, And he's an unreliable orchestrator. It's more kazoo
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: than conductor. And you know, and I know, and every man,
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: woman and child knows when the music matters, the needle
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: skips just.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: A little bit, just a little bit at skips.
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: And we've we've read this paperback before we saw it
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: in Seattle. Last year, we saw it in Minnesota. Rather
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: the last year the dog eared kind of predictable. So
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: if you were really happy, I good for you, you should
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: send a thank you note email the NFL. Thank you
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: very much, appreciate it. Boys on Park Avenue there, thank you.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: We hope you enjoy the mirage while it lasts. Enjoy it,
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: Seattle fans, twelve fans, whatever you call it, because the
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: jukebox is warming up, and it's an Elvis classic for Seattle.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: I'll welcome to Heartbreak Hotel, as as that's going to
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: be the case.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: Now, as far as the MVP debate, does this end it?
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: I guess that's the question. Does this ram lost kill
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: Matthew Stafford's MVP campaign, his mojo for the MVP. I
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: don't even think that's close. Like again, I give that
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: argument side eye. Stafford played for most It wasn't perfect.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: There were some throws that sailed on him, but he
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: played for the most part like a five star chef
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: who was trapped in a kitchen fire. Four hundred and
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: fifty seven yards, three touchdowns against the top five defense,
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: against the top five defense.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: Did not turn the ball over, and he did it shorthanded.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: He did shorthanded without Poka Nicoua, or with Pooka Nikoua
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: scoring the touchdown, but without DeVante Adams. And he threw
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: that laser to Pooka in overtime. Shich You'd say, well,
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: that's that's the sizzle play. If you look at the
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: sizzle reel, that's one of the sizzle plays on the
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: sizzle reel. And do you really dock the quarterback? Because
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: the defense at diarrhea Die Die diarrhea. Now we know
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: the refs had to send Pooka a message. We mentioned
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: the horsehead in the bed. The defense did not do
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: its job in overtime.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: They did not.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: And that's not on Stafford though to me. The real
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: call for the big loser, and they were trying to
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: prop this guy up. They showed him on TV. Is
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: Chris Shula, the defensive coordinator of Arims all name recognition,
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: another NEPO baby, Chris Shula and his team had multiple
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: chances to make a play in overtime and did not
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: get to stop. And so Grandpa Don is rolling in
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: his grave, like, what are you doing? At least you're
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: not as embarrassing as my kid, but my god, you're
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: my grandson. You got to do better than that. What
• 20:49

  Speaker 2: Let's see what do we have here, page Dan. Let's

  Speaker 2: see skip over that one.
• 24:41
  Speaker 6: No. S.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: Tredinis writes, and he says, Ben, You're absolutely right. Seahawks
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: did not deserve to win that game. There's no denying that.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: The officials helped out the Seahawks. And Sam Donald is
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: not the man you cannot depend on. Well if very
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: honest of No, stredenas to admit all that stuff. I
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: did not expect you to admit that on this night,
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: But I give you. I thought you'd send some fanboy
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: tweet in about saying that Sam Darnold.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: Is good and Seattle's great and all that stuff. But
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: you didn't do that.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Scrooge says, aside from bad officiating, you cannot let
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: vomit comet Sam Darnold have a game winning drive against
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: your defense. So aside from the game, Scrooge, that should
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: have been over thirty to twenty eight in regulation. Aside
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: from that, let's just overlook. Let's overlook snuffalupogous in the room. Okay,
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: let's just overlook snuffalopogus.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: In the room.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: Please, my god, not a burner, says Ben. Even though
• 25:39

• 25:54
  Speaker 2: of the week. I will be part of well, one
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: of the days. There's a best of show which I
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: can only I think I'll be running that.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: Oh is that right?
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: Oh?
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: You'll You'll have a lot of space to enjoy yourself.

  Speaker 2: No one will be no one will be farting, no
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: one will be studio to myself.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: I could host a rave here, Oh my god. Good.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: You could charge money. That's a great idea.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: You can get some of the homeless people out in
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: shrim not oaks. Bring him inside there, give me some
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: coffee and some tea.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: And all that. Why not? Yeah?
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, I Leen in San Francisco says I only care
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: about my Niners, that they're still alive. Just don't lose
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: to forty four year old Philip Rivers on Monday night.
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: Do not lose that game as a dangerous game. The
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: Niners not great against the run, and Indianapolis pretty pretty
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: good running the ball. Ozzie was from Western Australia rights
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: and he says I missed the Thursday night game, although
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: for him it's Friday because they're a day ahead. He says,
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: I missed the game. Dude driving about half an hour
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: to get McDonald's and do some food chopping.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Ozzie was. Ozzi was lives out like far far
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: away from everything.
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: He's surrounded by hundreds of kangaroos and that's it. And
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: so he's got if he wants to get anything, he's
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: got to drive like half an hour an hour to
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: civilization to get like a like a big mac and
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: fries is what he's gotta do. The specialist says big
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: Ben is in full conspiracy theory mode.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: Well, I know, what you're doing.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: I guess you're a fan of the CIA, which came
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: up with that term years ago to dismiss claims against
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: the CIA about aliens and whatnot. So you're falling right
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: into the CIA playbook. When you use the conspiracy theory
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: to try to demean the truth, you stand against the
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: truth specialists.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: That's it. He says.
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: The NFL wanted the Seahawks to win, really ben small
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: market Seahawks over big band Rams from LA the metro
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: population a ten million. Well, I know you're not that bright.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: Let me let me explain something to you specialists. This
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: was bigger than Rams Seahawks. The story here is Pook
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: pooka question authority. He questioned the overlords at the NFL.
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: He took some shots on a live stream. He defied
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: Sean mvay. But then he defied the NFL and he
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: did the thing you can't do it. So the NFL.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: They don't mess around.
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: They don't mess around, and it's still time to manipulate
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: things and get the Rams back. But they had to
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: send a message, and they absolutely sent that message. Mister
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: nice guy Ritch and he agrees that was a terrible call.
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: He was doing what aboutism, which is his way of agreeing.
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: When you do what about ism, that's your way of saying,
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: you're right, Ben, and I do appreciate you having my support.
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: Supermarket Steve also in a grim Well that's good. I thought,
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: you know, I came into the studio. I was walking
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: to the studio. I was like, man, you know, people
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: are gonna be busting my chops here. But so far
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: everyone's kind of on my side. Jj N Renton, he
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: agrees with me. I didn't realize the Seahawk fans were
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: wired this way. I thought they would be, you know,
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: in denial about the call being bogus and all that.
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: I thought.
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: But no, they're admitting that they did not deserve to
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: win that game, that the final score was thirty to
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: twenty eight.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, thirty to twenty eight. There you go.
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: Let's see here, Fried Daddy writes in He says, we
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: all know there's no such thing as momentum in football.
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: He says, but there is karma. He says, he's the daddy.
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: He gave some stat about you know something, something something.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: He says, Oh, this is good.
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: So Fry Daddy thinks because a bashing Sam Donald, he thinks,
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: I am responsible for this outcome because I bashed Sam donal. Yes,
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: because Sam Donald's play did not merit criticism.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: Like, what are we doing? Have you fried daddy? Have
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: you lost your bloody mind? I like you, dude, but
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: what are you doing?
• 29:47
  Speaker 6: This?
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: Anger never works for anybody. I don't I don't understand.
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: I know you're all just trying to you know, hit
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: Ben's buttons there, you know, get the mellow mallar you know,
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: melo dramatic mallor and all that, and you guys enjoy it. Uh,
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: And that's fine, you know, have you a little fun there.
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: But I speak the truth and no justice, no peace.
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: I learned that years ago from all my favorite friends
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: who love to protest.
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: No justice, no peace. So there you go.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: And if you're not part of the solution, you're part
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: of the problem. And right now, if you disagree that
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: the NFL did not meddle with this game, you are
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: part of the problem, okay. And if you stay silent,
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: that means you support what happened in the NFL. Am
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: I getting all the talking points, right, I think have
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: I missed any Hey, hey ho ho Goodell's got to go?
• 30:33

  Speaker 7: No?
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: What do we want. That sounds good. How about this?
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: What do we want? Better? Officials? When do we want it?
• 30:39
  Speaker 5: Now?
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: Get up, get down. There's a malad militia movement in
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: this town. How about that? Exactly the one? How about this?
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: Who's streets are streets? How does that work? Hard? Anyway?
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: You get the point. I'm in protest mode.
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: I am filing a formal protest, is what I'm doing
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: right here. Absolutely, that's a formal protest. One thousand percent.
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: Herd Dog says, great job, mister nice guy. I agree.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: The rams got host.
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought mister nice guy, I thought he wouldn't agree,
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: But there is. Hatch Daddy says, so are you working
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: into the morning on Christmas Eve? Or is Monday night
• 31:23

  Speaker 1: I I swear I don't want.
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: To know when and where you're going to be, but
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: exactly what time Ben I sent.
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: You know, Scott is our big boss, and he he
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: had texted me some dates.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: And I have a lot of comp days because I
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: worked most of the holidays during the year, so they
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: hooked me up. Have crazy vacation time I do.
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: I don't take a lot of time off so which
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: they they will you know, I don't want to get
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: into it here, but it will hurt them eventually. But
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: but no, I I I will, you know what I'm saying,
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: l but uh, but no, I will say on my
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: podcast how about this. I don't have it in front
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: of me, and I'm not really interested enough to look
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: hatch daddy. But if you listen to the fifth Hour podcast,
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: I haven't even done it obviously, because you do it
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: after this show. So I will put in there my
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: holiday schedule for you and ferg Dog and Alf And
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: I think I mentioned it last week and I don't
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: know if I went into great detail there, but last
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: last weekend, Yeah, Scrooge says, I understand the Rams got
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: ft over. I'm just saying you cannot be confident with
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: that defense going.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: To the playoffs.
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: Well, the defense was good enough to win the game,
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: and they played well enough in regulation to win the game.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: And the fact that the referees got some the revery.
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: And here's the thing that kills me.
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: You know, I know you're not in my house, because
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: if you were, you'd be a stockar I'd have you arrested.
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: But I'm watching the game and the playoffs. Okay, that's it.
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: Thirty to twenty eight, that's the final. In fact, I
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: couldn't believe when they put the two points up. I'm like, well,
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: what are you doing? I give anything.
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: If you really.
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: Thought that that play was a backwards pass, was a fumble,
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: since you blew the whistle, which is clear and obvious,
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: you would have redone the two point conversion.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: They didn't do that.
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: They didn't redo the two point conversion. They just gave
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: Seattle two points. I mean, my god, that was horrific.
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: All right, let's go to the phones and let's see
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: who do we have pays. Let's go to Bubba in uh.
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: I think he's in Sokel here. I believe, hello, Bubba.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: Welcome, Yo. This is the this is the part you talk.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: This is the part you stir it up a little
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: bit here.
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, oh, I would believe that. Yeah, they got hos
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: on that play for sure, But I mean, special teams.
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: You let the guy run back, you know, with what
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: some minutes left, seven minutes left to run back. They
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: were down thirty to fourteen, so you let, you know,
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: you let him run back, run it back, and then
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: they shut down the rams and then they got that
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: two point conversion or whatever you want to call it,
• 34:04
  Speaker 4: but it never should have happened. It was should be
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: thirty to twenty eight. And then Seattle's defense did pretty
• 34:11
  Speaker 4: good to shut down the Rams. But if the Rams
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: would have got up the field kick the field goal,
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: maybe we wouldn't be talking about it. But when you
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: go against the NFL, they come back hard with a vengeance.
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: And what you know, Nikua said yesterday or today or
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: even tonight, I think that never should have been said,
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: but he said it, and they got to do with
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: the consequences, and that two point conversion was a consequence.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, Bob, thank you man. I appreciate that.
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: I don't know that I'd say Seattle shut the Rams down.
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: The squed thirty seven points and five hundred and eighty
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: one yards of offense.
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: I mean they.
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: They had the ball for forty minutes. There were sixties
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: almost like six I think it was close to sixty
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: seven minutes because of overtime in the game, and they
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: had it for forty over forty minutes of game time.
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: They were in the red zone six times. That's one
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: of the most pathetic defensive performances I've ever seen. From
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: the Seattle football team. In fact, I don't know how
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: you can anyone can take them seriously. When you combine
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: Sam Darnold and that defense bunch of lightweights, absolute lightweights
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: on defense, Holy crap, man of us, Just Josh writes
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: in he says, I know you don't do shout outs
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: because this isn't the Morning Zoos show. So if you
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: could give the boys at the Jefferson City and TM
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: Nicholas Hunt a mention, I'm.
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: Sure they would be honored. There you go. This is
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: Merry Christmas to all the armed surfaces deployed overseas. Godspeed.
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: So, as you know, we don't do shout outs. That
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: was more of a mention than a shout out. We
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: were okay with mentions, shout outs or something bigger. So
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: you call me out, you can call me out yet again,
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: Has there ever been a Thursday night game where Al
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: Michaels is not bludgeting by the bots and the algorithms.
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: People very upset with Al. When Puka Nakua scored the
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: touchdown that gave the Rams the lead in overtime, people
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: very upset that Al did not get excited enough.
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: I guess he was supposed to pull his.
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: Pants down at that moment and give everyone a show. Mike,
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: I hope al I want to make Al Ai. You
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: know how NBC uses that dead guy's voice to do
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: the voiceover on NBA and he's not it's been dead
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: for twenty years whatever.
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, they brought him back from the.
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: I hope we have Ai al Michaels just to annoy
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: these losers, these losers, And I know why people do it.
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: You're in the engagement business, and you know that works
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: well on the algorithm, ripping old people like al Michaels. Right,
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: guy's an absolute freaking legend, right, and he wasn't enthusiastic
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: enough for you.
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: How about you go choke on? I can't say what
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: I want you to choke on? All right? Anyway, Time
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: now for the who Am I? Game?
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: So Matthew staff had his eighth game with three plus
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: touchdown passes and no interceptions this season. That breaks a
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: tie with me for the most in a season all
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: time by a player aged thirty seven role. This is

  Speaker 2: And in the history of the NFL, we have never

  Speaker 2: seen a more egregious bad call.
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: Never before has the league just given two points to
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: a team. It has never happened. It might never happen again,
• 39:04

• 39:17
  Speaker 7: the ball is battered down and if this down thrown
• 39:20
  Speaker 7: backwards and it kind of looks like it is and
• 39:23
  Speaker 7: it bounced off the defender rolled into the end zone.
• 39:27
  Speaker 7: Charbonay had one foot in the end zone when he
• 39:29
  Speaker 7: picked it up, and that's all he needed.
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: And so reviewing the play, the quarterback threw a backward pass.
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: You know he gave no he you blow the whistle, dum,
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: you blow the.
• 39:40
