(00:22):

a signature win for Josh Allen and the Bills? A
Week nine regular season win for Buffalo? In addition to that,
did did rookie quarterback Jackson Dart take a subtle shot
at the Giant fans for selling tickets to the forty

(00:44):
nine er fans who overtook the stadium in Jersey. We'll

number one well a preview of the AFC Championship Game.
Unless it's not a second half domination situation. Welcome in

(01:05):
the beginning of another week of the Ben Mahler Show.
We are in the air everywhere as we come out swinging,
and we are your sporty passport coast to coast, porter
to border and beyond on the vast and monolithically powerful
microphones of fsre ammunating live from the Avenue, the Banter Avenue,

(01:33):
Slow and study from the world famous Fox Sports Radio

The Way Tire Buying Show be So our lead this
hour start with not the Sunday night game. That was
a bit of a dud, no contest, So instead we'll

(02:15):
talk about the game. We're gonna start anyway, with the
game of the day in the NFL.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
In New York.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
There's only one team that plays in New York. It's
not the Jets, it's not the Giants.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
That would be the.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
Team in Buffalo, Sleepy Orchard Park, New York, to be exact,
and that was the venue for the latest matchup in
the quarterback rivalry of rivalries Josh Allen and the Bills
versus Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs, and they're trying to
recreate the Tom Brady versus Peyton Manning rivalry of years

(02:50):
gone by and trying to sell that. And they're selling
it that this is the same in Mahomes wins in
the playoffs like Brady. But then you look at and
that's Josh Allen and Manning a terrible big game quarterback.
Every man, woman and child knows that. And Josh Allen
his numbers not bad in big games, but he always
finds away his team to f it up. So that

(03:11):
was the setup you had. Jim Nantz and Tony Romo,
they were there and you know, doing their thing and
all that. Right, that's right, jam Hello friends. Yes, So
if you were watching, you know what happened, but possibly
not possibly not the raining MVP Josh Allen throwing a
touchdown pass and ran for not one, but two scores,

(03:34):
and he actually outplayed Patrick Mahomes out played in there,
and the Buffalo Bills get the win. Chiefs had the
ball trying for that hill Mary throw of eight there
they get to win though twenty eight twenty one Buffalo
over Kansas City in a rematch of big playoff games,
including the AFC Championship game a year ago. James Cook

(03:56):
adding one hundred and fourteen yards rushing. The Buffalo defense
was all over Patrick Mahomes in this game. Sacked him
three times. They hit him fifteen more times. As Mahomes
had trouble getting rid of the football. Bad job by him.
Got to make adjustments if your offensive lines dinged up.
Mahomes did not make those adjustments. And so, for the

(04:18):
first time in his NFL career, Patrick Mahomes completed less
than half of his passes. It never happened, Oh my god,
but it did now. And so he completed less than
half his passes. He went fifteen of thirty four passing,
Mahomes less than fifty percent throwing the ball. The argument, well,
some of those were late in the game, the desperation

(04:39):
trying to come back there, the Hail Mary, which didn't
even get to the end zone.

Speaker 2 (04:44):
And all that.

Speaker 1 (04:45):
So we're gonna break this down now. The better story
is in the losing locker room. So here is the
one and only Patrick Mahomes pointing out that apparently the
Chiefs they've not done well in close games.

Speaker 2 (04:59):
Let's start with that.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
So here's Mahomes on the fact that Chiefs are winless
this year in close games.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
What's that about.

Speaker 3 (05:05):
We've kind of been in all these these tight close
games and our history, but they're not going our way now.
So how can we deal with that adversity? How can
we be better and learn from it? I mean, you
only learn for so many losses. I mean, you gotta
gotta learn from it fast. And that's men uphill battle
when we get back. But I think our guys are up.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
They cut out early. What's going on in the editing.
I don't understand what goes on back there. I'm sorry,
it's just in that very end of it. But anyway,
here's more. Here is Patrick Mahomes. Let's see how the
editors f this up. Here's Mahomes on the urgency and
the fact that apparently there's no cupcakes on the schedule.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
According to Mahomes, take liss.

Speaker 3 (05:48):
Like I said, we gotta learn from it, but it's
kind of like you got to do it now, Like
there's there's no there's no easy game coming up, and
there's no more chances that we can really take losses.
So I mean, you got to learn from it fast,
and we gotta be better as a team. Offensively, we
gotta be better, especially on some of those big drives
we had in the second half. And I think we'll
just continue to push away and learn on this bye

(06:09):
week and then come back and be ready to play
our best football coming off of it.

Speaker 1 (06:13):
They're gonna be learning while they're in can Kun. They're
gonna be learning how to put suntan lotion on and
drink the proper my tie. All right, So let us
discuss the question where does this loss to the Bills
leave Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs. He was pretty much
buy the book with those answers as well. You know,
we've got to learn, and that's what they always say.
We win or lose, you have to learn from everything.

(06:35):
Everything is a teachable moment, all right. So my thoughts
on this, I've got brain Freeze, legend of Zelda, and
foam Finger, and we will combine all of these things
together and we are gonna make the gobbagool.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
We're gonna make the gobbagool.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
So a, this was a game for the Chiefs with
Mahomes here and friends, to show that they were fully backed.

Speaker 2 (07:01):
The Chiefs were playing well.

Speaker 1 (07:03):
They had won a few games in a row, and
so it's like they got their mojo back. They're sitting
sitting there thinking, Okay, well here we go, gonna show
everyone going to Buffalo and win that game.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
And that didn't happen.

Speaker 1 (07:14):
Obviously, that did not happen, and Kansas City rolled backwards
that it was a misstep by the Chiefs in this game,
and they reverted into some bad habits they did. You
can't hide behind turn it on when it counts, well,
they'll just turn it on when it counts. That doesn't
generally work here. And Buffalo's defense, who has not exactly

(07:35):
been world beaters. By the way, if you've been watching
the NFL this year, you know the Bills defense has
been shaky. They've been on the ropes at times. But
Mahomes could not hit water for a lot of this game.
And he fell out of a boat the way that
he was playing here. And don't don't give me the
well he doesn't have weapons. His guys are back. They
were back, they played, they had all the big weapons.

(07:58):
Rashie Rice, the speed racer, he was out there. Xavier Worthy,
Hollywood Browns I guess current Hollywood when they're not making
good movies, not old Hollywood when they made good movies.
He's poor Hollywood brown. But anyway, those guys were out there.
They just didn't make enough plays in this game. Travis
Kelce continues to look like he's a podcaster pretending to

(08:19):
play football.

Speaker 2 (08:20):
It's not very good and it's like.

Speaker 1 (08:22):
A farewell tour sponsored by the AARP watching out there
and play. And this was supposed to be a measuring
stick game. It was a measuring stick game for the Chiefs.
And at this point they didn't say, hey, we're still
the Kings of the NFL, even though they lost to
Philadelphia in the Super Bowl. Were the Kings of the AFC.
They didn't do that. It was Buffalo. Here we go, Buffalo.

(08:43):
It was Buffalo that did the old pirouette. They did
the dance. They shook their tush right there on the
dance floor. They were getting done. The Chiefs had a
brief lead in the second quarter and then crumbled from
that point forward. It was a domination situation. They played
like there was a pop quiz. There was a pop quiz,
and they didn't study for the pop quiz. Bad job

(09:05):
by them. They got brain freese. Oh, Mike, I got
brain fraes. Now, bigger headache. That Chiefs defense, to me,
that's the sort they was talking about. Mahomes and moms
didn't play great in this game. Yet I look at
that defense in Kansas City and what was that? At
least I didn't see any plays where they literally gave

(09:27):
up like they did against Jacksonville. Remember, they just allowed
the Jacks to score that touchdown, one of the most
gutless moments in NFL history by a good team. I
didn't see that. But this wasn't a masculating performance for
Kansas City. Josh Allen carved them up like you're gonna
carve your turkey up later this month. Absolutely carved them up.
Averaged ten and a half yards per throw, all right,

(09:48):
ten and a half yards per attempt for Josh Allen,
which is ridonculous. James Cook was running through mostly arm
tackles in this game, and.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
How good was he?

Speaker 1 (09:59):
Buffalo as a team had ninety nine more yards of
offense ninety nine. They stopped at the ninety nine seven
more first downs in this game and converted at an
almost sixty percent clip on third down I'm told that's
all good stuff. I'm told that's all good stuff. That
was a domination situation. Everyone knows, so you don't normally.

(10:23):
You don't normally see the Chiefs getting shoved around like that.
That's not typical of how that team has played over
the last couple of years. But they did look soft
at times by the Bill. Give the Bills credit. But
my god, Kansas City, what are you doing. It's a
bad job by you, And so to me, that's the headline.
I just played a soft brand of football in this game.
And at five and four, Mahomes mentioned, there's not a

(10:45):
lot of wiggle room here.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
The Chiefs need to get at least six more wins.

Speaker 1 (10:51):
They got eight games to go, they got to come
up with six wins, so they got a couple more
losses to play with, but they got to get six
more wins. That'll get them to eleven wins. Very rarely
do you get to eleven wins and not make the plays.
So if you can get to eleven wins, you'll make
the playoffs. Whether that's the division or whether that's just
being a wild card, you'll get in the pluff.

Speaker 2 (11:09):
Now, on the Bill's side of things.

Speaker 1 (11:12):
As we continue our in depth team coverage here starting
the week off on the Ben mal Show. The question
for the Bills, does this count as a signature win
for Josh Allen's Buffalo Bills beating Kansas City here in
week nine of the NFL season, so we mentioned a
big measuring stick game for Kansas City, well also for Buffalo. However, however,

(11:35):
I'm gonna say no in terms of the big picture.

Speaker 2 (11:37):
For the moment.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
Yeah, the Bills feel pretty good, right, Bill's mafia is
all fired off, They're excited. That's great. They want congratulations. However, Buffalo,
what do we know? They always beat Kansas City in
the regular season. They always do. This is old news.
This is old news, is what it is. We've seen
this act before. Think of this like the Legend of
Zelda Here of Time. The hero of Time known as

(12:03):
Link in the Legend of Zela used to play that
years ago, and this was like clockwork for the Bills
Legend of Zelda, the Hero of Time, it was clockwork.
This is what they do. In November, they beat Kansas City.
That's what the Buffalo Bills do. And then in January
the Chiefs gut the Bills like the aliens gutting a

(12:28):
cow when they united to find those aliens that come
down there allegedly. I'm sure it's something else and just
tear up the cow. Yeah, it's like that. But it's
a buffalo, and it's the same every year, same movie
every year. This year be different. Buffalo was a slight favorite.
They were at home in this game and they they won.

(12:48):
So you get a nice little dopamine hit, right, little
dopamine hit the year not bad. Enjoy the dopamine. Way
to go and the Bills Mafia will throw themselves on
some tables that are lit on fire and that'll be
how that goes. So congratulations on that. However, you're not
celebrating because we know there's a lot of games to go,

(13:11):
a lot of games to go, and until Josh Allen
finally gets the monkey off his back. He and his
co workers there beat Mahomes when it matters in the postseason,
when it counts in the big playoff game down the line.
This is just background noise. It's just elevator noise, that's
all it is. And they're the kings of the regular
season matchups. You get a nice little puffy sticker. Congratulations

(13:33):
on that way to go and five straight now for
the Bills, five straight over Kansas City when the weather's
still relatively good.

Speaker 2 (13:42):
When the weather's not good.

Speaker 1 (13:43):
They've played four times and zero for four, including that
ridiculous game at Arrowhead Stadium a couple years back. But
there you go. So the Bills in the regular season
against the Chiefs, the Bills are like a tesla. They're smooth,
they don't know gas needed right, they get plenty of gas,
play of energy right, and all that stuff. They're fast. Playoffs, playoffs.

(14:06):
The Buffalo Bills off in resort, not a tesla. They're
more like a rental Kia with lots of dents and
lots of miles on it. And that's how that goes.
It's gonna collapse later. So today's a deja vu, deja
vu situation.

Speaker 2 (14:21):
Is what it is.

Speaker 1 (14:21):
And we just I've a show to do every day, obviously,
so we worry about what we worry about that particular day.
But let me know, send me a text or something,
let me know when the Bills win a game like
this against Kansas City in January and when the pressure
cookers cranked up to ten, we can revisit this now
last word, is it true? A quarterback called out the fans,

(14:48):
called out the fens. We go to Jersey where the
forty nine ers, with Christian McCaffrey accounting for over one
hundred and seventy all purpose yards and a pair of touchdowns.
The Niners beat up the Giants, a domination situation, which
led to some interesting commentary from Jackson Dart. Now Jackson

(15:09):
Dart a one man band for the Giants. Is he
had a good stat sheet game and all that stuff
with the Giants lose, and Dart had a couple of
touchdown passes and a touchdown run. So that's a good
if you had them on your fantasy football team and
all that fine. He was blown away though, post game
by the amount of fans wearing red. A lot of

(15:35):
forty nine er fans there. I know our guy or Nesto,
he's a big part of that. The forty nine er
fan base to travel, they travel very well, the Niners.
They're living off what they were forty years ago when
they had a dynasty in the nineteen eighties. But anyway,
the stadium was packed with forty nine Er colors, much
like when the Niners played the Rams. Anyway, here is
Jackson Dart on what it was like in that environment

(15:56):
in Jersey, Tagolz.

Speaker 2 (15:58):
That was interesting.

Speaker 4 (15:59):
I've never played out a home game where I felt
like it was kind of lopsided in that department.

Speaker 2 (16:07):
But you know, they have a good fan base and
the travel blow.

Speaker 1 (16:11):
Okay, So Jackson Dart, I have never played a home
game essentially with so many visiting fans is what he
was saying there. So question does that count? Did Jackson
Dart take a subtle shot at the Giant fans? So
I'm gonna go one hundred percent that is a subtle
shot because if you do the math on this, I
know this is there'd be no arithmetic on this. There's

(16:32):
really no ifsands or a bunch about it. So how
did the forty nine er fan procure the ticket to
the game at the stadium there in the swamp lands
of Jersey Because all those tickets are sold, right, there's
only one logical path on how that large volume of
forty nine Er fans got in there. Those tickets do

(16:52):
not end up in the devices of the forty nine
er fan base by accident. They don't, right, Giant season
ticket holders sold them. They sold them for profit. That's
on the fans, and Jackson Dart by pointing that out,
is indirectly pointing out that the fans cashed in and
sold the.

Speaker 2 (17:13):
Tickets, and can you blame them? That's the other parts.

Speaker 1 (17:15):
Can you really blame it if you were dumb enough
to buy Giant season tickets?

Speaker 2 (17:18):
Right? The team's been a punchline for a decade now.

Speaker 1 (17:21):
They've been garbage that the Giants used to be good
when I was a kid. They suck and you're sitting there,
you're paying premium PSL and all the other crap you
got to pay to have tickets, and you go out
there and watch them pretty much on a weekly basis.

Speaker 2 (17:35):
Drop a deuce right at the midfield logo.

Speaker 1 (17:38):
You might as well make a couple of bucks back
if somebody's dumb enough to pay you big money and travel,
whether it's from northern California and it's Niner fans everywhere
again because of Montana back in the eighties. It's just
like second generation forty nine or third generation forty nine
er fans now. So you can't point the foam finger.
You can't point the foam finger at the fans when

(17:59):
the team's bad and they're bad. And that loss wasn't
about crowd noise. The Giants they were terrible, and it
wasn't even about the forty nine ers being being supported
by their fans or anything. It was just the Niners
played a dominant game. The Giants went through the motions
and all that. Even back up mac Jones. Mac Jones

(18:21):
who was starting to fall off the ledge, he came
back there and he was okay. And by the way,
if the Giants want to get Jackson Dart, I assume
they want to get home field advantage and all that
stuff and maybe start putting a more competitive product on
the field now since Cam Skataboo he went out with
the injury. The Giants played terribly last week and now

(18:41):
a no show performance here this week. So don't blame
the resale mark. Do not blame the resale market here.
The fans did not miss tackles. I'm pretty sure that
they did not blow coverages in the secondary there. So
to put a ball on this, Jackson Dart again his comments,
while they seemed rather but nine, you have to go
down the rabbit hole.

Speaker 2 (19:02):
And then you see, well they're not so innocent. They're
not so innocent. He said, Hey, the fans.

Speaker 1 (19:08):
What he's saying is, I didn't like the environment to
indicate that I've never done this before. It didn't seem
to enjoy it. And that was possible because the fans
sold the tickets. They sold out the tickets and another
embarrassing home loss. And so you look ahead and the
Giant fans will do the same thing. It's hard to argue.
It's hard to argue the fans doing that. It is

(19:29):
the Ben Malord Show. We are just beginning here. The

started with the bills and Kansas City. Also Jackson Dart
and his comments about how many forty Niner fans.

Speaker 2 (23:00):
We're in the house.

Speaker 1 (23:00):
So there was another message we'll get to in a
couple of minutes from an NFL player regarding a message
to the fans, a message to the fans.

Speaker 2 (23:08):
We'll get to that coming up here.

Speaker 1 (23:11):
In a little bit. And everyone's got a hot take.
Everyone wants to yap the day away. And let's see.
Ferg Dog says, who is the mysterious editor who constantly
calls you call out for screwing up the clips? Is
it Coop? Is it Lorena or an unknown third party
that people want to know. Well, it's not Coop, it

(23:31):
is not Lorena. It is I don't know who I
don't know, this is like what well, he says, we're
calling them out.

Speaker 2 (23:38):
We we didn't call them out.

Speaker 1 (23:39):
We just think it's fascinating that someone would do such
shoddy work and put it in the system.

Speaker 2 (23:44):
That's all I mean.

Speaker 1 (23:45):
I think that's the only thing really, I mean, because
you know, if you have any pride in your work,
you would not put something like that in. It's amateur.
It's a national network here. It takes two seconds to
flip you.

Speaker 2 (23:53):
We'll just listen to it before. Yeah, yeah, just do
a little bit. You know what I say.

Speaker 1 (23:58):
You measure twice, cut once, right, isn't that here? It's
don't even measure, just boom cut cut cut cut cut
cut cut cut cut cut, no measure anyway, not that
I I just get. We play a sound, but you'd
like it to have the last syllable. That's all you want,
just one last syllable. Femmi the number one uber each

(24:22):
driver there in Minnesota.

Speaker 6 (24:23):
Right.

Speaker 1 (24:23):
So, and he says, Ben, those cow gutters are aliens
from the Zea Rectao Star.

Speaker 2 (24:31):
I don't know what that is. Happens all the time
on skin Walker Ranch.

Speaker 1 (24:35):
Yeah, okay, uh, haven't you know I've heard the crop,
the crop where they cut, the crop circles, and then
the farm animals being gutted. Look at Femi's like an
insider on alien stuff. He knew right away.

Speaker 2 (24:50):
And who's the guy our buddy from is it Jay
Scoop right in you? No, not Jays Scoop? Who is
it dead? The guy in Utah? He went to the
day shift here. Remember he's sold out. What's his name,
Jay Dot? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (25:01):
Jay Dott lives close to skin Walker Ranch and when
we met him. We've seen him a couple of times
at Mallard meing greets. But Jay Dott was explaining to
us what it's like there. It's pretty wild. He lives there,
not even the TV thing, He's actually living in that area.
The goat Man writes and says, as one of the
more self aware and critical Bill's mafia, this was just

(25:23):
a win, he says, over Kansas City, they needed to
beat the Chiefs. When it really matters, they need to
beat them. Sean McDermott was bailed out by one of
the weaker Chiefs teams in recent memory. Curb your expectations,

I've been calling us felex I'm actually the star drag
queen on the show. Now I'm a little bit younger.

Speaker 1 (31:09):
All right, hold on Felexis. Scott says that he's now

Speaker 2 (31:18):
All right?

Speaker 1 (31:19):
Hold on a sec Scott. Anything you want to say
to filexis here? Blind Scott.

Speaker 4 (31:23):
Just before the show, I actually shaved all the hair
off my body. I don't think Felexis could do that
without going to the emergency room with six stitches.

Speaker 2 (31:33):
Flexis no comedy. Yeah, I hope he is that a
shot hair?

Speaker 4 (31:44):
Can we change and change phone numbers? I've always wanted
your phone numbers so we could be friends off the air.

Speaker 2 (31:52):
It appears, Scott that Felexus does not want your friendship.
Are you offended by that?

Speaker 4 (31:57):

Okay, No, so you don't need any friends? I understand?

Speaker 6 (32:22):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (32:22):

Speaker 2 (32:22):
All right? Well, very good? That's right. I'm your radio friend.
We're very close me and you.

Speaker 5 (32:28):
Who's my friend, my gut who you and me?

Speaker 4 (32:31):
We've gone back years.

Speaker 1 (32:33):
Yes, that's right, that's right, Yes, all right Motana Yeah
not Montana, Motana.

Speaker 2 (32:43):
Yeah, that's right. All right. Well, thank you for I'm
gonna go, thank you.

Speaker 1 (32:47):
Go away, Okay, thank you. All right, that's terrible talk radio.
Appreciate that. Wonderful thank you.

Speaker 2 (32:55):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (32:57):
Well, Max Crosby has a message to Raider Nation. The
Raiders did it again. They lost to Jacksonville. The Raiders
are two and six. They lost in overtime. Very impressive
loss by the Raiders. So the balls in the hands
of Geno Smith, they had scored a touchdown, were within
one of a tie, but the game would have ended

(33:20):
in a tie if they had just gone out that
way and kicked the extra point. Very unlikely Jacksonville would
have scored, considering the time on the clock. So they
went for it, and you give Pete Carroll credit. However,
he had Gino Smith the quarterback, and Gino then his
pass attempt was batted down and the Jags ended up
winning the game. So Max Crosby after the game had

(33:41):
a message to Raider fans. He said, quote, they deserved
better after the team lost that game. Of course, you
could make that argument for the last twenty years. You
can make that statement that they deserve better, better and
better and better. Yeah. Tom from Fullerton says Bill in
Korea time demands that Ben were twenty five hours a week.

Speaker 2 (34:02):
Yes, that is that is correct, and well it is true.

Speaker 1 (34:05):
I mean, anybody that doesn't talk show does no prep
I have such a life, My god.

Speaker 2 (34:10):
I roll in here literally.

Speaker 1 (34:13):
Like sixty seconds before the show, and I do no preparation.
And then I just when I'm finished, I don't even
think about the show. There's nothing I have to do.
It's just the four hours I'm on the radio. There's
nothing else involved in it. That's a great take by Tom. Outstanding,
outstanding take. It is the Ben Mahlor Show. We were
gonna have straight ahead, we will have. We have the

(34:34):
who am I game? Will of the play of the day.
Here's the who am I?

Speaker 3 (34:38):
Game?

Speaker 1 (34:38):
You want to answer this on X at Ben Malor
that's at Ben mallor So, Seattle. Sam Donald, I know,
very very happy over there. No streetenas Sam. He's in Seattle.
Sam Donald became only the second player ever to have
a game like this, and the only quarterback other than
Sam Donald to do it in the Super Bowl Europe Seattle.

Speaker 2 (35:01):
Sam Donald the.

Speaker 1 (35:02):
Only quarterback other than me to have three hundred and
twenty five plus passing yards, four plus passing touchdowns, three
or fewer incompletions, and no sacks taken in a game.
Only one other quarterback has had a game similar to
that in the Super Bowl era. That is the question,
and what is the answer. We'll get to it and

(35:22):
we will.

Speaker 2 (35:23):
Do it next.

Speaker 5 (35:25):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific, Bill
Miller and you.

Speaker 1 (35:32):
It is the Ben Mallard Show. As we are just
beginning reminder that everything we do here is saved for
plusterity's sake. On the podcast, there are two different podcasts.
You need to listen to, the Fifth Hour podcast. I
know that Bill in Koreatown here in La is very upset.
We don't do the show every day, but we actually do.
We go into the Audio Sweatshop on the weekends and
do the Fifth Hour podcast, which allowed us to do

(35:55):
mini Mallard monologues on both Game six and Game seven
of the World Series. So you want to go back
and hear that, don't do it now because we're doing
the show, but later on Fifth Hour Podcast. This podcast
will be up after the show. Just search Ben mallor
wherever you get your podcast and Fifth Hour Podcast. Right
after the program, the freshest pot will be posted. We've
got many hours to go here. Give it a nice rating.

(36:19):
I said, listen to it's the most important part of that.
Otherwise it doesn't really matter.

Speaker 2 (36:22):
We don't care. You can go.

Speaker 1 (36:23):
If you go to the page and don't listen, it
doesn't really help us at all. So please do us
as solid and there'll be a best version which will
be one point one seconds long, posted right after the show.
Right back to it, and before we get to the
who m I Game, Let's go now to the player
of the day in the NFL in the highest scoring game,

(36:44):
does nobody wanted to play any defense? As our fine
engineer Mark from Chicago, long suffering Bears fan. There the
Chicago Bears in Cincinnati and the Bears needing a late score.
Caleb Williams under center for Chicago, the Bears trying to
come back and beat Cincinnati.

Speaker 2 (37:04):
Let's go now to the play of the day. Safeties
are back deep and Unja motions left. They're blitzing. It's
picked up Caleb pros.

Speaker 1 (37:12):
Little the pim love and catch breaks away the thirty glove,
the twenty glove, the ten clove.

Speaker 2 (37:18):
Then end zone touchdown Bears.

Speaker 5 (37:21):
Coaston Lovelin on a pro by Kayleab Williams on the
blitz with seven geen seconds to go.

Speaker 2 (37:27):
And the Bears reclaim the lead.

Speaker 1 (37:29):
Forty seven forty two hits, a fifty eight yard strike
to the Michigan rookie had his second touchdown today.

Speaker 2 (37:37):
He outran the Bengals here in the jungle. The Bears
have the lead again.

Speaker 1 (37:43):
All right, very excited. The Bears don't win many games,
and so the Bears as are very excited. There the
Chicago Bears put up five hundred and seventy six yards
of offense.

Speaker 2 (37:51):
Oh my god. And that is the tire i Rack
Play of the Day.

Speaker 1 (37:55):
For over forty years, Tyraq has been helping customers find
the right tires for how, what and where they drive.
Ship fast and free back by free road hazard protection
with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation, tire rack
dot Com. The way tire buying. Should be more on
that game later. As several Bengal players called out the
defense in Cincinnati, so several Cincinnati Bengal players calling out

(38:20):
their own defense, which always as good good talk radio time.

Speaker 2 (38:23):
Now though, for the who am I? Game? This is
where we pretend to be somebody else, as we call
it the who am I?

Speaker 5 (38:28):
Game?

Speaker 1 (38:28):
So Seattle, Sam Darnold, in a Sunday night blowout became
only the only quarterback other than me in the Super
Bowl era to have three hundred and twenty five plus
passing yards, four plus passing touchdowns, three or fewer incompletions,
and no sacks taken. Again, the only quarterback other than
the Sam Donald that's me, the only other quarterback to

(38:50):
have three hundred and twenty five plus passing yards, four
plus passing touchdowns, three or fewer incompletions, and zero sacks taking.
Who am I? That is the question? And what is
the answer. Let's see does anyone know the answer? The
specialist going with Warren Moon as his answer, Ozzie says
Tyler whatever his name is. Yeah, quite the quarterback change

(39:12):
for the Saints. There, Shuck shuck, shuck shuck. Rob is
going with Doctor Phil. I guess he can go back
to his TV show now The Riddler from Scrooge? Who
else do we have? Tua tongue of by Low? I
guess by Alf the Alien Opiner Mallet prop guys as
America's favorite quarterback Felexus.

Speaker 2 (39:30):
That was a good photo of flexis it looks kind
of like that? What else do we have? Page down?

Speaker 1 (39:35):
Shanon Mooyes says Jason McIntyre. Who else Muhammad Ali from
Femi Kendall Jenner, who's thirty today? Oh my god, she's
washed up?

Speaker 2 (39:43):
Oh my god? Who else?

Speaker 1 (39:45):
That was? Late Night Drug tester Drew Brees guest by
Alex one of our newest listeners.

Speaker 2 (39:51):
I think I believe he's one of our newsers.

Speaker 1 (39:53):
