  Speaker 1: Ding dong. It's our number two. Our number two is
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: ready for you. And what do you make of Texans
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: coach Demikoans saying he never considered benching c J. Stroud.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: C J.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Stroud had five fumbles in the game a week ago
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: and four interceptions in the first half, and yet Dimiko Ryan,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: seemingly with a straight face, said he did not consider
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: benching his quarterback c J. Strout. Dimico Ryans did not?
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: All right now? Also, is Texans quarterback mister Stroud his
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: performance just a hiccup or a long term problem for
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: the Houston Texans? And how do you sum up the
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Broncos backup quarterback Jared Stidham standing in the way of
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: Mike Rabel's Patriots reaching another Super Bowl. We'll discuss that
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: as well, right here, right now, Get up, get down,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: get all around. It's our number two. It's one of
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: the great lines in the his street of astronauts, Houston.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: We have a problem. Welcome in the beginning of another
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: hour of the Ben Malar Show.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: We have a problem.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Are in the air, ev rewhere jointly as we open
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: the box. What's in the box? Coast the coast, border
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: to border, hand beyond on the vast and rightfully powerful
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: microphones of fsre ammating live from the aid. We are
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: the sleep aid for the overnight hours. Here if you
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: have insomnia, one malar monologue will go right to bed
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: from the world famous Fox Sports Radio studios, as approved
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: by Judge Reid, who reminds us Now, Judge Reid runs
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: a restaurant there in New Mexico. He claims that there's
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: a Mallard food dish at the restaurant. Oh, however, now
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: I need verifications. You got to be on the menu,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: otherwise it doesn't count. If it's on the hidden menu
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: doesn't count. It's got to be on the actual menu otherwise. No,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Like you go to Kansas City and you go in
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: to Liberty, Missouri there at the landing and you see
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: it's on the menu. You go to Denver, Okay, where
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: the AFC Championship game will be played, the sportsbook bar
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: and grill, the malor sandwich is right there. It's on
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: the menu. So in order for this to count in
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Albuquerque adjacent in the suburbs of Albuquerque, Judge read, we
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: have to get in on the menu. That's the rule.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: That's on the all Mallard food dishes. That's the rule. Well,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: this portion made possible by tire i Rack. For over
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: forty years, ty Rak has been helping customers like Kathy

  Speaker 1: from Santa Paula. He says, Hey, can you tell me
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: about those dude wipes? Yes, I can. I love talking
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: about dudewipes. Have you ever wiped with a piece of
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: that dry toilet paper and wondered? Is this as good
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: as it gets? Hell? No, of course no. No, switchmare.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: It is a nightmare. That's one of the worst things
• 3:23

• 3:25
  Speaker 1: switch to life changing h wet extra large fleshible dude wipes.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: That's the way to go because wedther just means better.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Available at Amazon and at major retailers nationwide. Dudewipe's best
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: clean pants down there you go. That's that's that's a
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: great copy your minute street. So I leave. This hour
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: is from Foxboro. We go to Foxboro the Divisional round
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: early game between the Houston Texans and the Patriots, and
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: much to the dismay of Mister Irrigation, the Texans rolled
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: out c. J. Stroud on a blustery day in the
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: woods of the Commonwealth, the winner a date with the
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Broncos in the AFC title game. Were you watching? Of
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: course you were, No. What else were you doing? I
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: don't know? Anyway, Drake May had not one, not two,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: but three touchdown passes, as Marcus Jones, keeping up with
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: the Joneses, had a return pick six of one of c. J.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Stroud's not one, not two, not three, four interceptions four.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: If somebody tells you what they are, listen to them.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: More on that in a minute. So CJ. Stroud four
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: deceptions and one of them pick six. The Patriots discombobulated
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: the Texans twenty eight to sixteen the final and they
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: have advanced to the American Football Conference Championship Game for
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: the first time in seven years. I mean, think about
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: the seven year old kid that were just a little
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: the newborns. They don't remember that those poor struggling children
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: of the New England States that did not get to
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: experience those six year olds, the five year olds, their
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: entire lives, the Patriots have sucked and now here they are.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: You're going to see the Patriots in a final four game.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: God bless those kids. Those little suffering kids man alive.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: First second graders didn't see the Patriots ever have any success.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: So anyway, the better story here is in the losing
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: locker room, and so that is where we were going
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: to go. Despite a absolutely horrid performance, Texas coach Demico
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Ryans says that he never considered benching quarterback CJ. Straud.
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: No.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: I guess we didn't get that sound, but everyone else
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: has it. But he said it. He said, CJ is
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: our guy. He said, all right, So that is a
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question, what
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: do you make of Texas coach Demico Ryans saying he
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: never considered benching CJ. Stroud despite four interceptions in the
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: first half. So I've got baby draft, designer, label, and
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Paris baguette, and we will combine all of those things
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: and put them together, and we are going to connect one,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: two and three and play connect three. That's what we're
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: gonna do. So number wa number. Yes, all right, so
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: we welcome to the big top. Welcome to the big Top.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Step right up, funting for all ages, theater of the
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: absurd in Houston, Texas. You won't believe your eyes, and
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: if you can't see, you won't believe your ears. That
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: goes out to Stevine Meatballs and all the blind members
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: of the mal or militia. But my God, not for
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: the squeamish or faint of heart. To Miko Ryan's claim
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: that he never thought about benching CJ. Stroud, he must
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: be lying. He has to beat lie I all right.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: If he did not consider the benching of CJ. Stratted
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: at halftime, then he's really bad as a coach and
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: should be fired. That's it. That's it. That's the thought
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: right there. If this guy the head coach of an
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: NFL team whose quarterback had five fumbles in a game
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: a week ago and then as four interception the first half,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: and it didn't even cross your mind to bench the guy.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: I have no skinning game. I'm not a Texans fan,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: I got I'm just watching as a neutral party. You
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: gotta be joking. That's football malpractice, is what it is.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Read the room read the room. When your quarterback is
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: out there drowning, you need to have the hook ready
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: to go get him out. You could see it. I'm
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: sitting on my ass watching on television. I could see
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: the body lane which I saw the look on CJ.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Stroud's face. He couldn't get it out of his head.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: He couldn't do it. And if I know that, how
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: the hell does the coach of an NFL T That
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: guy's coach didn't know it. Stroud earned the benching. He
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: deserved to be benched. I don't care if it's a
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: playoff game or not. You throw. You have five fumbles
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: one game and then less than a week later, four interceptions.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: Bye bye, bye bye, Get out of here. Hi. The
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: moment was just too big. Can't handle it. He's not
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: a big game guy. C J. Stroud is not it
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: at this point. You are what your record says you are.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: It was a massive mountain and he was wearing slippers
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: and he had his pajamas on, and he didn't want
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: to climb it. And that's it, That's all there is.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: And Stroud he didn't just wilt under the pressure of
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: the division round of the pluffs. He soiled the diaper.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: We all saw it. It was what can Brown do
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: for you? It's on the back of his white Texas
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: uniform and there's Demiko Ryans staying, what what what is
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: CJ Stroud done to deserve loyalty? The guy's been a
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: middling qrnerback for multiple years now. This is not an
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: all time great c J. Stroud, and you're loyal to him.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: That's your guy, Demiko Ryan You still watching him try
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: to play quarnerback in the first half c J. Stroud,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: it was like watching a baby draft learn how to
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: walk on a frozen pond. Now my theory, my theory
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: on this, using some classic psycho babble, is that Demiko Ryans,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: by not benching c J. Stroud admitted that CJ. Stroud
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: is a soft football player. Okay, he's a mister softy.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: That's c J. Stroud, and Dimiko made a calculator decision
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: to not bench him because it would have ruined him
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: for the rest of his time with the Texans. So
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: he sacrificed. If I'm right, Demiko Ryans sacrificed a chance
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: to win a The playoff game was a winnable game. At halftime,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: he sacrificed the playoff game because of the fragile ego
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: of his suck bag quarterback. That happened. That appened? Please?
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: And what did Cid Stroud do to reward Dimiko Ryan's
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: vote of confidence? He went out in the second and
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: a half and was a three alarm dumpster fire is
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: what he was. He was the duke of puke in
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: the second half there at a fifty nine point two
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: quarterback rating. He had die die, diarrhea in the pocket.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: He did all the way to the end of the game,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: final whistle there, total dud dud dud. Yeah, and Demiko
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Ryans he wasted what was a generational defense on a
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: quarterback who is a total zippo, a squad douche from
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: c J. Stroud, and the lights get right and he
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: sucks his thumb in the fetal position. My god. All right, now,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: continuing the train of thought here as we recap the
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: playoff games in the NFL this weekend. So the question
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: here is Texans cornerback quarterback c J. Stroud. Is Texans
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: quarterback c J Stroud and his performance just a mere
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: hiccop or is this a long term problem for the Texans?
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: So I am a believer. You are what your record
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: says you are. And right now CJ. Stroud is if
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: he was a musical group, he'd be what he'd be, Uh, well,
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: he'd be chubbah wubba is what he would be. Right
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: What great one hit wonder from back in the day.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: There one hit face plant that's it, see you later,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: repeat and a quarterback built on a highlight reel that's
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: got a lot of empty calories, like a lot of
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: empty calories for him. Now remember twenty twenty three, all
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: the new kid on the block. Everyone love him, Offensive
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: Rookie of the Year, Offensive Rookie of the Year, Balloons
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: and confetti, crowning the king, the new King of Houston. Oh,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: they were patting themselves in the back, they were pulling muscles.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: They being the Houston Texans organization they'd found there forever Quarterback.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: The parade was scheduled, and then they had to keep
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: playing the games and the sequel. We're still waiting for
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: the sequel. We're still waiting for that sequel to happen.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: No second act, no OnCore, no reruns all right, or
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: I guess just reruns here. And it's the same thing
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: every year now So since then, since that moment when
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: c J. Stroud was the offensive Rookie of the Year,
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: he has been a jag, not a Jacksonville Jaguar, just
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: a jag with a designer label. Though it's a jag
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: with a designer label, so he's got that going for him.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: Good for c J. Stroud and just a guy inconsistent,
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: like a flickering porch light. That's what CJ. Stroud is
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: at this point. Spotty like a rash that you don't
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: want diagnosed, right, you don't want that diagnosed. It's a
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: little spotty you I don't know what that is.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: And very unreliable. That's the thing about this, Like c J. Stroud,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: the inconsistencies of his performance all He's been very consistent
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: in these playoff games. Bad bad bad bad bad.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: But it's like it's like going flying around and the
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: airline that has the on time departure promise, well, he
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: promised it on time department. And just like just like
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: his throws.
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: C J.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: Stroud throws are often delayed because he takes too long
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: holes the ball for too long off schedule. He throws
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: it high low, you want to bounce past. That's good
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: in the NBA, not in football behind the intended receiver.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: And so if you look at Stroud on his playoff resume,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: here you got that one Browns beatdown that fooled a
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: lot of people. They said, Oh, that's it. He proved
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: he can play in the Plus he played that Cleveland Browns.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: It was that Joe Flacco. I believe that was Joe
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: Flacco who started that game for Cleveland. And since that mirage,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: five playoff games, three touchdowns, six interceptions, seven fumbles, a
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: passer rating of seventy in those other playoff games. That's
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: not growing pains. No, no, no, that is regression with a
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: capital R, capital R regression. And in twenty twenty six,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: c J. Stroud created a new item at Foster Freeze.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: He put the cherry on top of the poopye Sunday.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: There he made history five plus interceptions and five plus
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: fumbles in the postseason that had never happened before. An
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: island of one. They still talk about years ago, Jameis Winston,
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: the first thirty to thirty guy in the NFL, thirty
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: interceptions and thirty touchdowns. Well, how about this, CJ. Stroud
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: first ever in a playoff run five fumbles and five interceptions.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: The reason no one else has been able to do
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: it is because normally you lose when you have five
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: fumbles in the game. But the Steelers sucks so much.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: The Texans were able to win that game. And you
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: normally get benched if you have that performance before you
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: get to those numbers, but not if you have Demico
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: Ryans as your coach and you're a mister softy, then
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: you continue to get rolled out there. And that's it.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: So this is not a hiccup. There's a big issue,
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: and that is not a guy you give a big,
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: massive contract to and say this is our guy forever
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: and ever and ever. I would look to trade him.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: If I was the Houston Texans, I would say, all right,
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: let's make a deal. There's teams that need quarterbacks. This
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: guy's not the guy. Let's get rid of him. Because
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: the guy can't handle it. He just can't handle them all.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: Some people are cut out for it. He's not cut
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: out for get rid of him all.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: Final point to the Patriots side of things, the Patriots
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: winning winning, and they are back in the final four.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: Drake May had good stats. He did have the late
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: touchdown at the Hail Mary thing before after, but Drake
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: May survived. The Patriots are not one, not two, not three,
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: four fumbles by tiny hands Drake May little tiny hands.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: Remember before the draft, that was a big talking point
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: by the nerds. They said, well, the measurements of his hand.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: He doesn't have very big hands, and they said would
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: be a problem in cold weather trying to grip the football.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: Patriots play cold weather game at home and he has
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: trouble gripping the ball, holding onto the ball while getting
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: a hit, and sure enough, there you go. So now
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: the Patriots play the Broncos in Denver, and that means
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: they will be going against the New England Patriots, a
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: backup quarterback in the AFC Championship game. A backup quarterback.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: So the question, how do you sum up the Broncos
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: quarterback Jared Stidham standing in the way of Mike Rabel
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: and the Patriots reaching the Super Bowl. So this is
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: but this issue of the Patriots, It's been the same
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: thing all year and they clearly made some kind of
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: faustian bargain here, Patriots, because this is parting. It's the
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: parting of the AFC, if you will, the parting of
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: the AFC for Mike Rabel squad. You look at that
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: treasure map for the Patriots and it's a right turn
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: on Easy Street and you just keep going. And if
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: you keep going, you can make a left turn and
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: it's on Cupcake Alley. So you go down Easy Street
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: and then you turn left on Cupcake Alley. A generational
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: run of softies for the New England Patriots. We really
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: have never seen anything quite as easy as this has
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: been for the Patriots, and so good for them. They
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: were horrific last season. Where's girod Mayo? Do we even
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: know where Gerard Mayo is? By the way, now we
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: don't know where he is right spell waiting for the
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: next check to come in from Robert Kraft. So the
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: road to the super Bowl, broadcasters love to talk about,
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, the road, it's so difficult. Oh what
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: are you gonna do? The road to the super Bowl
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: has been pathetic, more pathetic, and most pathetic the opposition
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: they're going against. The Patriots have beaten soft surfer boy
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: Justin Herbert poop his pants, c J. Stroud, and now
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: they take on Jared Stidham up next. It's not the
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: heavyweight division. This is not the heavyweight. This is the
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: featherweight division of football. For the New England Patriots. You
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: know what they're doing. They are feasting at Paris Baguette.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: That's what they're doing here. You avoided Mahomes because he
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: got hurt, and the Chiefs didn't make the pust Lamar Jackson,
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, the killers, the murderers, row of
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: AFC quarterbacks, the golden age of AFC quarterbacks. You missed
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: all of them, and you got handed this gift, wrapped
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: light and fluffy croissant, yum yum to my dumb, dumb
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: that's what you got. That's what you got. So you
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: avoided everything, and I get it. Don't audit the freebies.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: You got a lot of freebies here, except the gift
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: before the winds shift, and they will shift. The winds
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: will shift, So accept the gift. And the crazy thing
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: about it, the Patriots can be in the super Bowl
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: and we still don't know whether Drake may is a
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: big time guy. We don't know that because you look
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: at the road. It's easy. The Texans forfeited. I knew
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: the moment CJ. Stroud played the second half. They weren't
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: trying to win it. This was about the big picture.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: They weren't trying to win it. My god, what a
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: path you take it. You milk it. Don't look back.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: If you're the Patriots, It'll never be this easy again.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: It's never been this easy. It has never been this easy.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: Mike Rabels team has got a pounce. You got to
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: do it, Mike squad, you take advantage of it. This
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: is not playing the Masters. This is the Windmill golf course.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: This is the there's an arcade. There's a pitching putt.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: You're at the pitching putt. That's what you're at. One
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: more step. Then you get a shirt and hat. Even
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: this weekend is coming up the AFC Championship game. You win,
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: they give you a hat and a shirt. They said,
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: well you won the AFC, congratulations. That's it. So pathetic, guest,
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: it's pathetic. Nobody will remember though, that you were eating
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: just pastries at Paris baget. They're just gonna just remember

  Speaker 1: basketball coach. And John Wooden lived his final years in
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: the neighborhood where Fox Sports Radio is, and so people
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: at the company would see John Wooden out eating dinner
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: at restaurants here in the neighborhood of Sherman Oaks and adjacent,
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: and John would be like fried chicken and just like
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: really unhealthy stuff. Because when you get to a certain age,
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: you don't have to worry about the long term problems.

• 27:08
  Speaker 1: diehard Rams fan. They played like blank blank Rams touchdown,
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: next drive, give up. Seven happened twice. It's been a pattern.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: It's patternicity. Sean McVay called the worst game in his life. Shocked.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: They had seven runs in the first half. Play calling
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: can't close games inside three minutes, need one first down,

  Speaker 1: Rams win three runs in a row, three and out,
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: Ramonel Kni and Ramandel Knight. Well, you can be all
• 27:39

• 27:48
  Speaker 1: these other stiffs. Doc Dan writes in from the Twin Cities.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: He says, just curious who is the backup quarterback for
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: the Houston Texans. That would be the Great Davis Mills.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: The Great Davis Mills is the backup court back and
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: actually played okay this Season's one of the higher end
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: guys because he's actually started a bunch of games in
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: his career. And that's it. A supermarket Steve says, what's
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: more impressive, CJ. Stroud with the five interceptions and five
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: picks and two playoff games or Jalen Hurts earlier this
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: year fumbling the ball twice on the same play. Well,
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: that is easy, supermarket Steve, and it's not even close.
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: I happened to be at the game Jalen Hurts fumbled twice.
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: It was a Rams Eagles game on a Monday night.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: From the Hood, in Inglewood and up to no good
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: in Sofi Stadium, And so I saw that, and I
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: put that right next to the other thing I saw
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: in my life attending games that will never happen again.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: I was at the game way back million years ago
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: when a player named Fernando Tatis hit two grand slams
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: in the same inning for the Saint Louis Cardinals against
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers. I happened to be at that game on
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: a chilly, kind of overcast Friday night, in the middle
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: of the steroid era in Major League Baseball. Two grand
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: salamis in this Yeah, that was against the great chan

• 30:07
  Speaker 1: Are you offended? Are you? Do you need a safe space?
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: It takes a lot to offend. You know what? Then,
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: I haven't been offended since. So I wants to accuse
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: me of being a gee. That's impossible. Okay, that's impossible.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: I don't know what to do with that, but okay, yes.
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: Well it happened half a long time ago when I
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: was living in Denver. Because I said, that's my shouty man.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: I went to school there and I got stationed there
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: for three years, and I'm looking to the radio I
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: was in Cooper. I said, oh, I thought he wasn't
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: going kind of went to that game because he said
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: it was it cost too much. But I guess you
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: you must just front of him alone or something, you know, Hey, so,
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: but Cooper.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: He was there. You talk about the range of emotions. Uh,
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: there's a there's a term phyic victory. You heard of that.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: You probably heard of that, right, Yeah. That means where
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: you win the battle, but you take so much damage
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: on that you end up losing in the end. And
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: that would be that would be the Broncos. They won
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: and then they ended up still losing their quarterbacks.
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: So what can do? Like the Dodgers, you're just your
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: whole heart.
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: I know you're so, you're so upset by the Dodgers.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: Oh my god. So let me ask you this room.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: So should the Dodgers not have added anyone? Because that
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: would have upset you? Like anyone? Good like it bothers
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: you like? Should they should stop trying to add to
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: their team because they've won the last two World Series?
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: Is he going to have a hard time living on
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: sixty million? A year because what hell Beckham said, he
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: has a hard time.
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: I know, I know, I know well he does. The
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: other problem is that Tucker plays in California, so by
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: the time they take all the taxes out federal and state,
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: he'll have about two dollars left to his name. No,
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: you're okay, you're right, four dolls. He'll have four dollars.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: Four dollars. There you go. That's what I was. I
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: was doing that for him. I was embellishing, is what
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: I was doing.
• 32:00
  Speaker 5: You're lying. I'm not lying.
• 32:03

  Speaker 1: If I was worried about money. All these guys are
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: overpaid in sports, I wouldn't watch sports. They're all overpaid
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: for what they do. These guys are treated like kings,
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: and that that good?
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: What somebody talked to holes overpaid to You wouldn't you
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: wouldn't buy the chance? No, am? Would you?
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: What do you I understand? What are you saying when I.
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: Say somebody talk show holds old show talk show, talk
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: show guy?
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, good for them. They have they have better
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: agents than I have, and the company likes them more
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: so they make a lot of money. Good for them.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: That's I don't care. Listen, when I buy a house,
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: it doesn't end up in the real estate section online.
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: When cowhard buys a house, it ends up in the
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: real estate section. All right, everyone's overpaid. Everyone who's underpaid?
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: Tell me somebody Underpaidho's underpaid?
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: I can tell you who's not going to be underpaid?
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: As death shroud. They're dumble enough to throw a pile
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: of money at him after the day's left two performances,
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: because they've better putting long and hard about what they
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: call it when they franchise you. Yeah, bring long and
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: all about that one long and hard lot. She Hawks
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: didn't need to be a damn oh stop.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: They have an inferior quarterback. They're not that good. The
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: Rams are the better team. The Rams should win that game.
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: We'll see, We'll see, I know, we'll see. We'll see,
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: we'll see, we'll see, we'll see. Yes, what we.
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: Sehawk defense?
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they've already played them twice. I don't think they're
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: too worried about that. In fact, if you look at
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: the the gambling market on this right, the gambling guys
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: don't think the Seahawks are that good. Normally you get
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: three points as a home favorite. The Seahawks are only
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: favored by two and a half. That tells you that
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: the Rams are the better team in the eyes of Vegas,
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: and that is not Seattle. Because Seattle is only a
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: two and a half point favorite at home. So good
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: luck on that, all right. I gotta go dro him here,
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: thank you. I gotta go stare at a wall or
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: something like that. Let's say hello to t Bone, who
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: I think is online for I'm guessing here, I don't
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: have the lines. Hello, Oh, t Bone, what's going on?
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: T Bone in Detroit? Hello? T Bone? T Bone going once?
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: T Bone going twice? No, t Bone? All right, no,
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: t I'm just not there, all right, not there, T
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: Bone's gun anyway, it is the Ben Mather Show as
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: we work our way through the overnight. So just to
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: follow up on that term with Jerome, it's a it's
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: a pyrrhic victory. What the Broncos gut that they won,
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: but it inflicted such a devastating toll on the team
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: that won, the Broncos, that it is tantamount to defeat.
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: It's see the line, winning the battle but losing the war.
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: And so now it's a hollow victory for the Denver
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: Broncos because they have to play Jared Sidam, who sucks
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: in the in the next game. So good luck on that.
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: I mentioned the Seahawks favorite by two and a half.
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: The Patriots are a five and a half point road favorite.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: What does that tell you about Jared Stidham a five
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: and a half point road favorite, the Patriots over the Broncos,
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: so that the Broncos would have been a four point
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: favorite had bo Knicks played. That is a nine and
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: a half point switch according to the gambling line on
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: the old Stardust line. As we say on Benny versus
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: the penny, a nine and a half, that's over a touchdown,
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: almost a touchdown and a field goal because bow Nicks.
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: That seems like a bit of an overreaction, doesn't it.
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: I think bo Nicks is not that great. Maybe it's
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: their way of raising the stakes a bit well, trying
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: to get money on both sides. They're China, so they figure, hey, everyone,
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: right now, the early money is all on the Patriots,
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: and there's a lot of early money on Seattle too,
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: Which is that's a that's a fool's errand is what
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: that is? It is the Ben Mahler Show. As we
• 36:37

  Speaker 5: Go to the third degree.
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: This is gets quick and Patrick is in the producer's chair.

  Speaker 1: Hello Pat, Hello, Ben? Hello, what is up? What do
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: we got here? All right?
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: Well I got this one right here, So Ben, The
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: Steelers are ramping up their head coaching search and one
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: candidate they want to speak to is Mike McCarthy.
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: Do you think this would be a great fit for Pittsburgh. Well,
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: the only thing that's great about it is he's a
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: local guy, so you can tug at the heartstrings. Miche
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: McCarthy's a Pittsburgher, so that's good. He doesn't fit what
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: the Steelers have always been about unless they go outside
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: the box. He's coached two other NFL teams as a
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: head coach. He's older than the you know then they
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: normally go for So it doesn't seem like that's a
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: great fit and they can do better next.
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: All right, Ben, So Trinidad Shambliss and his team are
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: suing the NC double A over their decision to not
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: give him a six year of eligibility.
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: Do you think he will get this overturned?
• 42:22
  Speaker 5: No?
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: Although the argument is if the NC double A eventually
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: just makes these guys employees, which is what they should be.
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: Then why stop it? Four years or five years of eligibility?
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: This guy's already played six years though, Like, come on, dude,
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: I would want to play for twelve years the amount
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: of money they're getting, so I don't think it's going
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: to work for him.
• 42:39
  Speaker 3: Next all right, Ben, the band Green Day will be
• 42:41
  Speaker 3: opening the Super Bowl and celebrating six decades of championships
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: history along with past Super Bowl MVPs in attendance.
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: Do you care?
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: No?
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: The only thing I care about is I think this
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: was a late addition. The rumor is because they were
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: getting so much bad publicity for bad Bunny hates America
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: and so they let's get Green Day. They don't hate America,
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: We'll put them in there. So that's why how we go,
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: how we know the sano I'm a winner.
• 43:03
  Speaker 4: I
