  Speaker 1: We'll call it the Bronx. Comeback. Welcome in the beginning
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: of another night of the Ben Mahlor Show. We are
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: in the air everywhere, you there and me here as
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: we provide unrelenting sports radio justice coast to coast, border
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: to border and beyond on the vast and rambunctiously powerful
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: microphones of FSR, amminating live from the nest as we
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: hang out with the night owls up in the tree
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: from the world famous Fox Sports Radio Studios, as approved
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: by Noah in Austin. He approved that message. This portion
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: of the Ben Malor Show on Fox made possible in
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: part play our friends at tire Rak. For over forty years,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: ty Iraq has been helping customers find the right tires
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: for how, what and where they drive, ship fast and
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: free back by free road as of protection, with convenient
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: installation options like mobile tire installation, tire act dot Com
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: the way tire buying shuld be. So I had an
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: editorial decision to make, and before we get into that,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: I will point out that the normal social media rundown
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: of all the topics to come not up yet because
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: it's a one man band. Then I didn't have time
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: to do it, so screw you. It'll be up later.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: It'll be up later. For those loads of you that
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: have no life and need that information, you'll just have
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: to stand by. You'll just have to stand by. But
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: I did have an editorial decision to make. Did I
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: go with the football game a week five NFL regular
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: season game or a day that was tied for the
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: greatest elimination day in baseball history? And I made that
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: editorial decision. Play the hit, small man, Play the hit.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: So we'll start with baseball. We have plenty of time.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: It's a black canvas of talk radio four hours to
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: paint in oil painting or in our case of finger painting,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: but we will be here all night, so we have
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: plenty of time to get down to business on all
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: the things that took place in the sporting world. But
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: our lead this hour is from the burrow of the Bronx,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: and I mentioned it. Three elimination games all day would
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: have been four, but the red screwed that up and
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: they lost to the Dodgers in two. So we'll start
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: our in depth team coverage around the clock in the
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Bronx mentioned game three Wildcard round, Red Sox and Yankees
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: A couple of no name pitchers on the mound. And
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you were watching this or not.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: It was going against the NFL game. Maybe you're not
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: a baseball person, but I checked it out. I was
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: flipping back and forth, my right hand was getting a workout,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: and rookie right hander Cam Schlittler gotta say that slowly,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: that's an FCC violation waiting to happen. Cam Schlittler, who
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: grew up a Sox fan, he grew up a Red
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Sox fan. But we didn't hear that story, did we
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: all know? They didn't. They didn't really promote that at all. No,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: they wanted to keep that on the DL, keep that
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: on the down low. Well, Cam went out and struck
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: out not one, not two, not three, not four, not five,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: not six, not seven, not eight, not nine, not ten,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: not eleven, how about twelve in eight dominating innings. And
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: the Yankees, who looked like they were on the doorstep
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: of death early on in this series, they have come
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: all the way back here. The Bronx Bombers ended up
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: stomping the Red Sox for nothing in the deciding third
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: game of the wild Card round, So that means now
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: we can all sing no da da da la good bye,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: just like that. So that's it. If you had the
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Red Sox going to the divisional series, you were a loser.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: And so this taking place, you know, the pitching performance
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: of Kim Schlittler, putting him right in the middle of
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: that Yankee Red Sox lore, the rivalry twenty four years old,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: overpowering the futile Boston Red Sox line up there and
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: in his fifteenth major league start. Now, who's that guy
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: the mizz from the Brewers who made the All Star
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: team after like two starts or something like that. So
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: they don't even care anymore? Who cares? Just did I?
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: We just want you to be good, So we're gonna
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: we're gonna make you be good. And you're good. And
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: I bet it was a great night, fifteenth big league start.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: And I didn't think he would pitch like that. I don't.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: You didn't either. Don't lie to me. You didn't think
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: like he was gonna do that. Come on, So New
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: York is on now to the best of five divisional
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: series against the American League Eastern champions and the team
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: of the Great North. Oh god, the Toronto Blue Jays
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: that begins Saturday. Saturday. Saturday, we won't be watching that.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: We'll be watching college football, but that'll start on Saturday.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: The better story, though, is in the losing locker room.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: That's right in the losing locker room, and so that
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: is where we will begin our in depth team coverage
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: here as it goes the way of the Yankees. So
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: where did things go wrong for Alex Korra's Red Sox.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: I've got Rodo Ruter, radiohead and water fowl, and we'll
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: put all these together and we're going to deep fry
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: some crunchy tacos. That's right. The proper way to eat
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: tacos is the gringo taco, which is a fried taco.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: That's the proper way to eat. The taker, my buddy, Alex,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: may he rest in peace, who said they what are
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: you doing eating tacos like that? I said, they just
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: taste better. He said, you're crazy. I said, don't care.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: They just taste better. And that's it. Before we get
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: into the meat of it, though, let's hear from Alex Cora,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: the losing manager here, as he was commenting on the
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: performance of Cam Schlittler of the Yankees. Taylors.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: We needed to be perfect tonight because he was perfect.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: I mean, stuff is outstanding.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: He was under control.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: That was electric. That was electric, Yes, electric. Of course
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: you helped him. Let's not pretend like that didn't happen there.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: My advice to the Red Sox is to watch the
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: old tom Omanski VHS instructional videos to learn the fundamentals
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: of baseball, because that's a big part of this. They said, well,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Red Sox didn't score, and so you can't win if
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: you don't score, and well, that certainly is true. Wowsers.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: It's the little things here. Cody Bellinger, who was completely
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: washed up at the end of his time with the
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Dodgers and bounced around. I have found a home there
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: with the Yankees. But Bellinger popped up to shallow center field.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: It was a fourth inning Sedane Rafaela, Rome, Gonzalez and
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: William Bray. You all converged, So you got three players
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: all converging on the on the play, and they all
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: watched as the ball dropped and it was a Belly double.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: And later on there was a play tretore he dove.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: He failed to get a Ahmed Rosario single, so all
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: could have gotten that play. Anthony Volpi hit a little
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: bit of a dribbler there that eluded Romey Gonzalez for
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: a double, and so it kind of looked like a
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Benny Hill sketch. There was some bumbling over there, There
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: was some fumbling over there, stumbling defense, all of that.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: But wait, there's more. In what could have been a
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: massive double playball, Austin Wells hit a ground ball that
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: bounced off the glove of Nathaniel Low. Doesn't Nathaniel Low
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: look like he should be working in a cubicle somewhere
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: and not playing professional baseball? This guy looks just it's
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: very odd. I know he's been decent and at a
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: decent CAREBA, he just looks weird in that Red Sox uniform.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: It looks like he should be working nine to five,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: like a corporate job in an office somewhere and have
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: a cubicle and then go to the break room and
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: get stuff out of the vending machine, not playing in
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: the baseball playoffs. But anyway, so needless say, Austin Wells
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: hit a grounder bounced off the glove of Nathaniel Low
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: into right field, and that allowed another two runs to score.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: And so instead of it being just a reasonable margin.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: It was for nothing game, set, and match. And now
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Alice Cork should have also just contacted Rodo Ruter needed
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: a plumber. There, the leaky defense sparking the Yankees rally
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: in this one. And the Red Sox apologists will say, well,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: they didn't have Roman Anthony. He was heard blah blah
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. However,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: even without that, they were still in position.
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: Here.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: Self inflicted wounds, self inflicted wounds. Now, Jared Duran, who
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: he said himself, I'm not ripping him. He just said
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: I cost the Red Sox Game two with his poor
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: defensive play. He also ended up batting ninety one, which
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: I believe was an interstate in the series. And that
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: defensive blunderbacking Game two. Sedane Raffaelo, we talked about him.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: He had as many hits in the wild card round
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: as you and I had a zero zero, zero batting average,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: and he brought a glove that was a could also
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: double as a frying pan in this particular game. So
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: you know, I didn't play professional baseball. I'm just just
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: observing here. Did not look did not look very good.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Did not look very good? All right, now, turny the page.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: We go to Chicago. We head to the Windy City,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: the friendly Confines where our friend Yupimi, our buddy Eugene
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: in Chicago, tree in Chicago. All the boys very happy there,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: the Chicago wing of the mal or Militia. Because the
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Cubbies got it done. Pete crow Armstrong, who took the
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: second half of the baseball season off, hit a Ribby
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: single off of you, Darby. I remember that, you, Darbish.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: I remember that guy. That is the guy I watched
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen Game seven against the cheating a Holes.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: I saw that, you, Darvish. I saw that guy. How
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: you like that, Sandy, I go, that's you, Darvish. Well
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: are they gonna say they was tipping his pictures. Every
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: time a pitcher has a bad game, he was tipping
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: his pictures. No pitchers allowed to have a bad game.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: It's always there tipping their pictures. Anyway, you Darvish. Shaky,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: needless more than shaky. And the Cubs shut down the
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Peacock Fernando Tatis Junior and the Podres. There was some
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: horrifically bad umpiring. I think the cub umpire his favorite
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: the well the home played Umpire's favorite club, Harry Carey.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: Not just all a bit outside. Oh no, no, oh
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: my god. What there was one call in the ninth
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: inn by the Padres have gotten some of those calls
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: against them. When you know, years ago they were in
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: the World Series against the Yankees, and there was a
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: guy named Mark Langston, you know who that is, but
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: he was on the mound and I think it was
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Tino Martinez and there was a pitch like right down
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: the middle and they called it a ball and then anyway,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: uh so that was a terrible call. But nonetheless, the
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Podres end up going down. The Cubs clinch it. They
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: win three to one in Game three. Next up for
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Chicago the very short road trip up to their NL
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: Central rival, the Brew Crew in a rather compelling divisional
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: series matchup. And that'll begin also on Saturday. We'll be
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: watching college football, but that'll be going on. You've got
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Craig Counsel who left the Brew Crew, a native son
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: of Wisconsin, left Brew Crew. He got the cash, show
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: me the money they paid him. The money he took.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: The cash goes to Chicago. But the better story is
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: on the loser side and the San Diego Padres. What
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: an epic disaster. This is just so bad considering everything
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: that they did. I did everything right and they end
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: up getting bumped out of the playoffs in three games.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: So now people pointing fingers at the front office in
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: San Diego. So we'll address that thumbs up or thumbs down,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: thumbs up, thumbs down? Should should Padres gm aj Preller
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: be fired for mortgaging the future of the Padres on
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: a world series or bus gamble which has now busted.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go thumbs down on this. I'm gonna
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: go thumbs down to me, this is a bugs life.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Sometimes you're the windshields, sometimes you're the bug. And this
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: time Preler's Padres got crushed like a snink bump bug
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: on a highway, right, just squashed And yeah, you can
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: cue the radiohead track let down, Right, it's a let down.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: They went all in. They shoved every chip to the
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: middle of the table. The nerds who were having coronarias,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, you traded all of our prospects, Oh
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: my god. And yes they busted. Nevertheless, I thought it
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: was refreshing at the time. I'm not gonna alter my take.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: I like, I'm not a Padre guy, right, you know
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: some of you know I started it by radio sojourn
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: in San Diego. I'm not a Padre guy, but I
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: thought it was refreshing in a sport where most of
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: the teams are run by IVY League. And let me
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: point out, Preller's an IVY League guy. He just doesn't
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: act like it a lot of the time. But these gms,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: most of them sit on their hands clutching their precious
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: future assets. We can't trade the future. We can't give
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: up the future because every young player is going to
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: be great, and the reality is most of them blow
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: and Preler said, screw it. He said, we want to win.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: We want to win now. We've never want anything. So
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: let's fortify the roster. Let's take the real swing and
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: go for it. And that's exactly what they did. They
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: built the super bulpen and prospects. I've said this for years,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: they're a renewable energy. You draft every year, you restock
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: every year. The system replenishes itself. In baseball, and losing
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: a few high end teenagers in a ball for a
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: real shot to get that hunk of metal. I'll take
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: that gamble ten out of ten times. The bigger problem
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: here the guys that were already in Podre uniforms sucked
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: at a time you cannot suck. The core of the
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: roster did not show up when it mattered. And I'm
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: talking about Fernando Tatist who batted eighty three many machato.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: These guys love to talk and all that, and he
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: batted one hundred and then the cherry on top. My guy,
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: you Darvish, who could not even survive more than one inning,
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: twenty one pitches, twenty one pitches in an elimination game
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: for you, Darbise, I'm told that is the shortest outing
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: of his entire career. The vaunted bullpen, they didn't get
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: to sniff the lead because in this game they didn't
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: have the lead, and so Preler took the shot. He
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: did his job. Your job is to improve the roster,
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: to give them the top opportunity to win. He did that.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: It's the stars who couldn't get it done right. They're
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: the ones that f this up. Now, last word, we
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: go to Cleveland. Why because there was another elimination game
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: and someone named Dylan Dingler, but he got picked on
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: in school. Dylan Dingler, that's a catcher for Detroit from
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: Northeast Ohio. Another one of these stories, right, we mentioned
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Kim Schlittler of the Yankees, got a lot of attention
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: from being a Boston guy or a Massachusetts guy, and
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: he shoved it down the throat of the Red Sox. Well,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: Dylan Dingler theme of the day from Northeast Ohio. He
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: grew up a fan of the Cleveland Indians, not the Guardians,
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: because they were the Indians when he's a little kid.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: And he had a go ahead solo home run in
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: the sixth inning. The Tigers would go on to score
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: five runs and they ended up beating the Cleveland baseball
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: team six to three the final in the early game.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: And so the Tigers now head to Seattle for a
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: playdate with the Big Dumper and cal Raley, I know, crying.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: Craig's excited about that. Robbie the Marina fan, JJ ANDRN
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: and those guys are all all fired up. No stradinas
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: for sure, and so that'll be that. But the better
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: store here is obviously on the other side. So the
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: question on this one quickly, the question is this sea
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: isn't considered a success or a failure for Guardians manager
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: Stephen Voight, as they end up getting eliminated in the
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: wildcard round. So I'm gonna go success, So I'll nod
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: my head yes on success, which is very bizarre. You know,
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: even my cynical talk radio ass has to acknowledge the
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: Komodo dragon in the room here that these guys had
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: no business being in the playoffs, right, total interlopers. The
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: Cleveland baseball team, the Little Engine that could, the waterfowl,
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: the ugly ducklings who were waddling into the playoff pond,
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: and the other geese were like, what are you doing here?
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: You don't belong here? And what are you doing, ugly ducklin?
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: Get out of here, ugly ducklin, you don't belong here.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: Where the geese? You're an ugly ducklin? And they stayed. Yeah,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: but it's serious. I mean, they shouldn't have been here
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: at all, and it's it's a testimonial to how incompetent
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: the Tigers are that they got here. I mean, this
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: was not champagne and lobster roles. This was like wedding
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: crashers sneaking in trying to steal some dessert and hit
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: the mini bar, the open mini bar and go for that.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: But they finished. Cleveland finished with eighty eight wins. They
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: ranked twenty eight out of thirty teams in runs scored,
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: worst offensive team ever to make the playoffs. That's not
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: just below average, that is actively offensive, actively offensive to
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: your taste, buds. They had not one, but two pitchers
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: who are in the doghouse because of gambling accusations. They
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: were throwing pitches for prop bets so their buddies could
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: make money allegedly. So these were not thoroughbreds. These were
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: rescued dogs. Hard four. There were fifteen and a half
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: games back in July. I believe they were still eleven
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: games back in September, and somehow Someway staged the largest
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: end season comeback in baseball history to steal the American
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: League Central, only to exit stage left after three games.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: But that's a pigeon showing up at the Kentucky Derby.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: It was a September to remember, twenty and seven, twenty
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: and seven, seven forty one winning percentage, top record in baseball,
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: and it looked like they had found the magic carpet
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: and they were flying. However, as we know because we're
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: smarter than the average bear. Momentum is bullshoy. It does
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: not exist. And so the playoffs started and poof, see
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: you later, Bye bye. The carpet yank the magic carpet
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: yanked away, and they did a face first plant right
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: in the mud, right in the mud. So but despite that, again,
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: I'll be Benny brightside, Cleveland did overachieve. They're not that
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: good a team. They made it. Congratulations to Steven Voyd
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: got more out of that roster than anyone should have
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: gotten out of that roster. So there you go. Not
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: that that helps you feel any better because you've been eliminated.

• 21:28
  Speaker 1: hear this. They did. I did a baseball rant last hour.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: I don't care about the baseball.
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: What are you talking about?
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: Shut up? I'll give you to one. I'll dance, dance,
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: monkey dance, all right, I'm gonna dance. I'm gonna train seal,
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna put the damn ball on my nose, and
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna dance for you with the ball on my nose?
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: Are you happy? A train seal? So we head to
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: southern California in NFC West grudge match that was supposed
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: to be a mismatch. Every key indicator pointing how battered
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: and broken the forty nine ers were heading into the
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: Hood and Inglewood and up to no good? Boy? Were
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: they up to no good? As they took on the
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: heavily favored La Rams. This line skyrocketed by five points. Now,
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: you're probably not a gambler. You might not even care
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: about gambling. That is a big line movement. It went
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: from three to three and a half to up to
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: eight and a half points, and the game ended up
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: going to ohver time. If you didn't see it, maybe
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: you're blind or you weren't into it. Eddie Pinero remember him.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: The old Bears kickers passed around, hit a forty one
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: yard field goal in overtime that joinked off the cross
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: a crossbar there before. San Francisco was about to lose anyway,
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: and then they stuffed Kyron Williams on fourth down with
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: three thirty six to play on a fourth down play
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: and the short handed forty nine Ers celebrating, I get it.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: You beat the Rams you should celebrate. That's a much
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: better team than you. And the Niners celebrated. They hung on.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: They win by a field goal over the pathetic Rams
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: on Thursday night. Now, the story here is Sean McVay postgame,
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: who was asked about his decision. He went for it
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: on fourth down, it didn't work. He's getting absolutely roasted
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: Sean McVay for his decision. And here's McVeigh. He's like, hey,
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: you know, you can goof on me all you want.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: Here Sean McVay pointing out that he's the one that
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: fed up take a list.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: It's a bad call. It's a bad call by me.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: Thought about maybe trying to draw him off sides. I
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: took one, they took the other, and it was a
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: poor decision by me right there. But you know, you
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: give the Niners credit. They made enough plays to be
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: able to win the football game. We had plenty of
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: chances throughout this game. You know, we stayed in it,
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: We fought, we battled. But I'm pretty sick right now.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: I'm sick of the spot that I put our group.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: In to end the game.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: But hey, these are the tough beats that you got
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: to be able to learn from and move forward, and
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: that'shere're going to do.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: All right, So that was McVeigh there. He also went
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: on he did curse later on and that beginning. I
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: think that would be a good drop. We don't usually
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: do these anymore, but the very beginning. Let's play this,
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: McVeigh again, because I think that's a quick, hot drop
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: that we can use on the show, just the beginning
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: of that. McVeigh play that again. Let's see this. It's
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: a bad call. It's a bad call by me. Thout
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: isn't that? Would that not be a great drop? I
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: know we don't do a lot of drops, but that
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: would be a That would be a great drop because
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: the reason I think that's a great job it's an
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: evergreen drop. Now what an evergreen drop is? We can
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: use it what I like to do. I used to
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: do this a lot with some of the old engineers.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: We do out of context drops. For example, there was
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: a hockey coach who had one of the all time
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: great postgame rants. We sucked at a time we couldn't suck,
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: you know, and all this stuff, and uh, we play
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: out of context audio. So I think that McVeigh thing
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: would be great, like for example, let's do a little
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: game here. Let's just do it again real quick on
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: the fly. So I'll be like, Hey, the Dodgers are
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: gonna lose game one of the Phillies and day Roberts
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: was gonna make a mistake with his bullpen. So we'll say,
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: here's Dave Roberts. Dave, can you explain what happened with
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: your bullpen. It's a bad call. It's a bad call
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: by me thought about it. Oh it's so good God.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: Is that a great drop? We need that? Can we
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: get that? Can you get can we get that?
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: Whatever you want?
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: I need that in my life. I need that drop
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: in my life. I need that. I need that drop.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: All right, all right, here's now I like profanity. We're
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: overnight safe Harbor. I'm reminded every time I get paid
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: that I'm on overnights. So let's play Sean McVay, who
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: needs to have his mouth washed out with soap and
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: water take a list.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: In hindsight, I wish I would have, but uh no,
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: we were. We came in here to try to win
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: the football game. It didn't go down Forest Gary. That
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: was that wasn't even a thought. But the play selection
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: was very poor. I'm sick right now because I put
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: our players in a spot and uh, I gotta live
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: with that.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: All right. Well that's the story. The better stories in
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: losing locker room. So what do you say? Let's rally
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: around the radio here, we'll huddle around and we'll discuss
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: the question. Was he's very hard on himself? But was
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: Rams coach Sean mvay gutsy or goofy going for it
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: on fourth down, down by a field goal in overtime.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: So my observations, I've got Farmers Market offer up and Jacuzzi,
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together and
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: we are going to make your Babushka's favorite gummy bears.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: That's right, You're Babuska's favorite gummy bear. So number one,
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: number one enough, all right. So the arrow on this
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: one is I actually like what McVeigh did. I clearly
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: don't like the result, but I like that he went
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: for it. I like that he's gutsy and I know
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: what he's doing. He's protecting his team, right, He's like,
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: blame me. I'm the bad guy. You know, I'm the
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: one that left up bad call, bad call by me.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: I know what he's doing all right, But this was
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: not Cowards tie, you know, tie ball special. McVeigh actually
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: had intestinal fortitude. And they didn't show this on the
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: Amazon broadcast, and I wish Al Michaels had shown it.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: He's probably back in bed there in Brentwood right now,
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: but if they had shown it, like went went for it, right,
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: he went down. McVeigh went down to the farmer's market
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: and it turns out that his balls are the size
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: of cantilopes, really candalopes, and he's I'm not living in
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: a world where ties exist. I don't want ties, no ties.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: I don't need a tie. We had the Cowboys and
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: the Packers tie. How much did that suck? Right? It
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: was embarrassing for the NFL for the product to embar.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: Mcveigh's like, no, we're gonna win the game. We're gonna
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: win the better team. We're gonna win the game. I say, bravo.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: Now that's it again. I cannot ignore the execution. It's
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: like the old line from the Buccaneers coach back in
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: the Jay back in the day, John McKay said, what
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: do you think your team's execution? And he said, I
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: support it, I'm in support of it, but McVeigh, like,
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: I go through the psychology of this stuff, and am
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: I overthinking it? Probably? But I have a talk show
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: to do, so I'm probably overthinking it. But like McVeigh
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: put the ball in Kyron Williams's hands, the Golden domer,
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: and he did it for reputation rehab. That's why he
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: did it. The same guy who had already gagged in regulation.
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: I coughed up the fur ball with a little over
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: a minute to go in regulation. It was like sending
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: the person who just dropped the wedding cake back into
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: the bakery to carry out the next wedding cake. Like,
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: that's ballsy, right, that's ballsy. I mentioned balls the size
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: of candles. He wanted to give a confidence boost to
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: his running back. The problem the turd in the punch
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: bowl is the players shrank down. They had balls. The
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: size of chickapiece is what they had. So mcveigh's got cantalopes,
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: they got chickapiece. Williams now has stank all over. He
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: fumbled at the goal line and then what happened over time?
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: You know what that is. That's the Chris collins Worth
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: double doink is what that is? Doink doink, except they
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: didn't go through the uprights. He lost the game twice.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: Do you know how hard it is for one player,
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: when there's eleven players on the field on both sides
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: and special teams, for one guy to be such a
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: stumble bumb He lost a game twice and he's not
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: a quarterback. You know how hard that is. You know
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: the math on that, the malor math, how difficult it is.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: Kyro Williams, congratulations, you get to wear the Booby prize.
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: You did it now regardless, All right, mcveigh's you know,
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: I'm the bad guy and all that. He's taking the
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: bullet on that. But it's not about the decision. It's
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: about the result. McVeigh tried to give this kid his
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: redemption tor and the kid pooped his pants. You know,
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: it's like the kid. You know, they go number number
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: one and then you say, okay, well you're not gonna
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: go number one again. No, I'm not Dad, I'm not
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: gonna go number one. Mom, I'm not gonna go number
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: one again. But then they want number two, and you said, well,
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: you didn't go number one, you're right, but you want
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: number two. You're not supposed to number two either. But
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: again McVeigh I like it. He had start, they went
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: for it, and Williams it turns out has stonehands, So
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: it's unfortunate turn of events. Down page two, keeping the
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: theme of the hour, going the question here, what is
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: the most embarrassing part of the Rams? The biggest favorite
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: round biggest Favoriteously there's a one game where the line
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: is bigger this weekend, but the Rams eight and that
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: point favorites losing outright at home to a beaten and
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: broken forty nine er team. So the answer, what's the
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: most embarrassing thing? This is easy, easy. They sashade their
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: way into Sofi Stadium, right, and they're like, oh, we
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: got no problem. Kyle Shanahan is putting backups of backups
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: in there, right, guys who were plucked from the NFL's
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: reject bin. And those guys out hustled, outworked and shoved
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: it down your throat the forty nine ers. You know,
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: I'm not a forty nine fan or nest On, you
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: know those guys, big forty nine er guys on the show,
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: and they call the show and our friend from Berkeley
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: as well. But listen that that's criminal. It's one thing
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: to lose but all you have to do is work
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: halfway decently. You win the game. You have a huge
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: talent advantage. Now how do you overcome a lack of talent?
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: You outwork the other team. That's what the forty nine
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: ers did, and Sean mcvay's team acted like all they
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: had to do was punch the time card, put their
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: feet up, have a cocktail and just wait for the
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: time to run by and they can collect a w
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: and instead because of their own performance where they went
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: out there and they played like they were soft o
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: gouie football players. They had no edge, they had no passion,
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: they had no character, and they got an l LA
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: thought they were scoring freebius like they were going on
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: that offer up app and they're like free pick up
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: curbside and they're like, okay, I'm gonna get that used
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: couch and so they showed up. They're like, okay, this
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: is good. I'm gonna get used couch off offer up.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: So they went and they got it and it was nice.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: It was like one or two in the morning. They
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: picked up the couch off off or up and it
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: looked kind of nice, and they put it in the
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: back of their truck. They got home, they took it out.
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: They put it up in their apartment and it turns
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: out it smells like cat urine. But it was free.
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: It was free. Yeah. Yeah, the forty nine ers rolled out.
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: I looked at their depth. We handicapped the game with
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: the Thursday night games for Benny versus depending on YouTube,
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: and so I was handicapping in the game. I look
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: at everything. I was like, I hate betting favorites. I
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: cannot stand betting favorites. But I looked at it. It's like,
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: is there the only way? Well that there were two
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: ways the forty nine Ers could have won this game.
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: One of them is if like Stafford had gotten hurt
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: or like a couple of key players got hurt from
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: the Rams, but that didn't happen. The other way would
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: have been if the Rams just go la la la
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: la la la la la la la la la la,
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: don't put any effort in, and that's what happened. I
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: did not. That is not a way that Sean Yvay's
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: teams have generally played. And the flotsam and jetsam of
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers, they piled up twenty seven first downs.
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: I've been told I've been sold to Billy Goods about
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: how great the Rams defense is. Twenty seven first downs.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: You gave the backups of the backups over four hundred
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: yards of offense. And here's the kicker, Mac Jones, Yes,
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: Mac Jones, the guy who has been terrible most of
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: us Black and Blue all night, and he still outplayed you.
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: That's like losing a karaoke contest to William Hung. I
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: don't even know if people know who that is anymore,
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: but he look him up. But embarrassing, right, It doesn't
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: even begin to describe what happened there for the Rams.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: And it's three strikes. You're out. Strike one, you're lazy, okay,
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: Strike two, you lack passion that strike two, here's the
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: third pitch, Strike three, lack of character, boom done. That's it.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: Strike one, strike two, strike three, that's it. And again,
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: if you're McVeigh, this is the stuff that happens to
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: other teams, this is not the stuff that happens to
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: MC face team. The Rams lose games. They normally lose
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: because they're not as good as the opponent in certain matchups.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: To lose like this, they missed a field goal in
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: this game. The special teams continue to be a problem
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: the forty nine ers in overtime, they got the ball
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: because of that fugasey kickoff rule. The idiot, I'd cut
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: the Ram kicker. I don't care I on his fold
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: those kicks up. I'd cut him anyway. He's not even
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: a real player, the kicker. But he didn't get the
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: kick in the kicking zone where it needed to go,
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: And so the Niners took over deep in their own territory,
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: which made it a short situation to get into field
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: goal range. And so listen, they deserve to lose. The
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: Rams was really just gutless the way they played the
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: first half. They played better after that, but you got
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: to play a whole game, all right. Final point, Let's
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: address what my friends who are forty nine er fans
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: are all horny for, and that is the play of
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: their quarterback. Did Mac Jones just earn a new lease
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: on life? Patriot trash, Jaguar trash? Did Mac Jones just
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: during a new lease on life on an Island game?
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: Or is this just a one week mirage for Mac Jones?
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: So I'm certainly not going to overreact here and say
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: that this is a resurrection for Mac Jones. I'm not
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: going to be that guy. It was a one night pass. Congratulations, Vip.
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: You get behind the velvet ropes and you did that there,
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: and we'll see what happens going forward. Chances are he
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: goes back to bumming quarters like weed man hippie at
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: the bus station. But mac Daddy, he was in the jacuzzie, right,
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: he was in the dakoozie. And he took the hot
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: tub time machine back to Tusca Losa, Alabama, playing shade
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: smooth operator on repeat. No stress, no mass, no stress,
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: no mass. He carved up the rams. I didn't think
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: that was possible. In the first half. Now he went
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: as good as the second, But the first half it
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: was like he was at Alabama in twenty twenty playing
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: against Mississippi State or Auburn just killing him. He actual
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: he looked like he knew what he was doing at
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: the NFL level. He was a surgeon, is what he was.
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: Clean hands, sharp, a sharp, scalpel, scalpel. And he didn't
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: even sneeze. Know in the past he'd be sneezing on
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: the patient while they were all cut open. Regardless of that, though,
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: all right, let's hold off on building a statue in
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: Santa Clara for Mac Jones. Here. What this does do, though,
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: and this is the part that I like as a
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: talk show host, is it creates a problem for Brock Party.
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: And I like that. I'm into that, right because I
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: was the guy barking from the top of the mountain,
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: what are you doing? You shouldn't play Rock Party. He's
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: not that good a quarterback. Oh my god. So I
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: was that guy, right, And my point was, it's the system, stupid.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: My point was, it's the Kyle Shanahan coaching these guys
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: up right, scheming these guys up at Brock Purty is
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: not very good. But he got schemed up by Shanahan.
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: You got boxing and Midl Corny. You had to pay him.
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: So if my hypothesis is correct, and of course he
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: thinks they're wrong, So I think my hypothesis is correct.
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: You look at this and Mac Jones, he does have
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: a little bit of a new lease on life, but
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: not a full new lease on life just because you
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: threw a clean game in October. But this adds to
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: the mythical powers of Kyle Shanahan being a QB whisper.
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: Also the worst big game coach in NFL history. But
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: every guy looks better in that system. And I know
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: John Lynch was very happy there after the game and
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: they were showing shots. It looked like Robert Sally I think,
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: had an orgasm with the thirty five yard line, the
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: defensive coordinator. These guys are all fired up. But the
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: Niners gave one hundred and eighty one million dollars to
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: guaranteed to Brock Party, who suddenly doesn't look all that
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: special compared to a scrap heap guy who has now
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: outplayed him this season. Mac Jones, how does that taste that?
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: That's a little bitter, right, that's sweet and sour. That's more.
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: It's like Brock Purdy got the Lamborghini contract. He can
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: buy a whole house of Lamborghini. And then you got
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: mac Jones out there driving a used Corolla with two
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: hundred thousand miles on it. He goes out and side
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: by side he beats the Lamborghini in the Indy five hundred.
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: Now that being said, he did not play as well
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: Mac Jones in the second half. It was really really
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: good early couple touchdowns, very impressive. The first half. The
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: numbers did do the dipsy do in the second half
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: is the game we're on. But overall, a net positive
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: a net positive, and it doesn't mean that he's the
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: franchise savior. However, when Brock Purdy does get back on
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: the field, and inevitably Brock will go out there and
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: he'll cough up a hairball, and then people say, people
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: call the forty nine Ers postgame show, and then local
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: sports radio in the Bay Area they'll be like, well,
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: what's going on? What about Mac Joke? Who you are?
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: Mac Joe?
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: Well you should play Mac Jones.
• 38:54
  Speaker 5: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
• 38:57
  Speaker 5: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pmpis.
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: Here we go, Mallard. How about that?
• 39:03
  Speaker 5: To the third degree?
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: This is one big bent gets grilled, We go cool.
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: Last week, you successfully predicted that Marvin Harrison Junior would
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: get a touchdown. Now, right after the game, he said
• 39:18
  Speaker 4: that it was quote good to see one go through
• 39:20
  Speaker 4: the hoop. Ben, Do you think last week's performance will
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: jump start a turnaround to his season?
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: No, I don't. It's a one off because he played
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: terribly in the first half. He played well in the
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: second half, and that's the key thing to start him.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: We've learned that from watching our sports, but just in
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: life in general, it's not about how much talent you have.
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: It's about dependability and consistency of performance. And he has
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: not shown dependability. He has not shown consistency. And it's
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: not even two games. Is not He's gonna have to
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: do it every week. You gotta be consistent, and I
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: have not seen that from Marvin Harrison Junior yet. So
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: I'm not expecting that all of a sudden to turn
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: around for the Cardinals, especially with Alligator Arms Murray as
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: the quarterback.
• 39:56
  Speaker 4: Next there are some speculating that the Dolphins could raise
• 40:00
  Speaker 4: the white flag on this season after Tyreek Hill in
• 40:02
  Speaker 4: Tyreek Hill's injury and could even shop around von A
• 40:05
  Speaker 4: chain Ben. Do you think Miami will go full fire sale, No, because.
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: They don't do that other than the Browns. Like it's
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: not like, you know, nobody's untouchable. They'll make some trades,
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: things will be marked down there, but they're not gonna
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: have a bonfire out on the beach in Miami and say,
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: all right, this just burned the entire thing down. So
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: that's not gonna happen, and they should win. This weekend,
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: the Dolphins play Carolina. So there you go. They win
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: that game, you're always kind of a fringe wild card
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: contender at that point.
• 40:33
  Speaker 4: Next, Puka Nakua has started the season off on a
• 40:36
  Speaker 4: historic pace and would shatter receiving records if he keeps
• 40:39
  Speaker 4: it up.
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: He had at a decent game last night, had ten catches. Yeah,
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: then this pace will be hard to maintain.
• 40:45
  Speaker 4: But do you think we can call Nakupa the best
• 40:47
  Speaker 4: wide receiver in the NFL?
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: Absolutely cool, because as you know, the term best means
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: as good as all the rest, so he is as
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: good as any other receiver in the NFL. More importantly,
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: he's the number one receiver on the La Ram. Pooka
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: Nicola I love the guy. I can't believe he was
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: draft from the fifth round and it proves nobody knows
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: anything in the NFL draft. And I don't know why
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: you will watch the draft. It's all bull craft. If
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: Pooka Nakula can be drafted in the fifth round or whatever,
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: it's ridiculous. The guy's a total stud. Love the guy's
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: great player. Uh And I don't know how he ended
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: up with the Rams, but it's happy that he did.
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: But yeah, he's as good as anyone else in the NFL.
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: How do we do you pass this edition? I A
• 41:24
