Living the island life.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
Here the original recipe Ben Maler Show podcast, Happy Tuesday.
It's the third day of December, and it's all about
that Monday night football game. And it actually lived up
to the island life. Cleveland and Denver, a high scoring game,
a lot of turnovers, a lot of touchdowns. It goes
to the Broncos. But what is your reaction to Jameis

(00:30):
Winston's play as he said a Browns franchise record for
passing yards also gave the game to Denver. And how
do you explain Jerry Judy's performance for Cleveland as he
had a historical statistical day for the Browns in the loss.
And where are you at on Bow Knicks and his
Rookie of the Year campaign? The Broncos quarterback, the offensive

(00:53):
rookie of the year, He wasn't the lead but a
couple of interceptions in Denver they win the game, but
not necessarily because of both Nicks. We'll talk about that
and a whole lot more. Right now, make way, make way,
it's our number one.

Speaker 1 (01:07):
Now that is.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
How you have a little Monday night football. Welcome in

Speaker 1 (02:14):
So don't bury the lead, ma man. Let's play the
hits there.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
We'll start out with a final game for Week thirteen,
Final game Week thirteen on the NFL card, and we
go to the Centennial State and that is where Jamis
Winston and the Brownies Traveling Circus arrived. The Browns playing
out the string on another miserable season win loss wise,

(02:41):
and they had a playdate with the Broncos. It was
the Jerry Judy Revenge game. Although nobody anticipated that the
Jerry Judy Revenge Game would be a classic, nobody had
that Cleveland taking on the team from Colorado. The Fox refugees,
Troy Aikman and Joe Buck were there calling the game.

(03:04):
They were in the broadcast booth. Did you watch Did
you have something else going Well, I don't know what
else you had going on. Maybe you had something else
going on, but we were watching it, so our good mitch
with it. We thought, well, no one's gonna watch this game,
and brown suck and the Broncos aren't a sexy team
and they haven't been that for a long time. But
it was a hum danger, a hum danger of the game,

(03:27):
and it came down to the very end for those
of us that bet on these games.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
Someone named Jaikwan McMillan.

Speaker 2 (03:34):
We don't know who that is, but he had an
interception forty four yards out of the end zone, the
game ceiling, game ceiling play with one forty eight remaining
in the game there the Broncos. That was a game
ceiling touchdown by McMillan. There's also an interception at the
end there the Browns and the final seconds driving down

(03:56):
trying to get a touchdown, and then they would need
the on side kick and all that the Broncos able
to win. Despite a historical performance by the Cleveland Browns offense.
This is like, wake up, Bernie Kozar.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
What are we doing here?

Speaker 2 (04:13):
The Cleveland Browns quarterback, their backup quarterback Jameis Winston, and
wide receiver Jerry Judy in the Jerry Judy Revenge Game
put up monster stats. The kind of stats if you
play fantasy football. It was orgasmic the type of numbers
these guys put up. Winston through a franchise record, franchise

(04:35):
record four united ninety seven yards Jameis wins the Browns
have been playing football for a minute and four unted
ninety seven yards, the most in franchise history. Four touchdowns.
Jerry Judy had not one, not two, not three, not four,
not five, not six, not seven ninety How about nine
catches for two hundred and thirty five yards, the most

(04:55):
in NFL history by a receiver against his former team.
So the greatest revenge game by a receiver in NFL history.
Aside from the final score, Judy had played not very well.
You probably don't remember this. Four seasons in Denver and
made no tangible impact on the Broncos. He was booed

(05:16):
every time he touched the ball, and he was soaking
it all in like a sponge, enjoying all of the
booze that were raining down in Colorado. So let us
discuss the question, what is we'll go to the Browns
here even though the Browns are not going to play
the story here is the Cleveland offense. So as we
discussed the question, what was your reaction to Jameis Winston

(05:40):
and Jameis Winston's play for the Browns in this game.
So I've got Mona, Lisa, lunch money, and stump speech,
and we will combine all of these things together and
we will have a rollicking good time, is what we're
going to do.

Speaker 1 (05:57):
So a this was for Jameis Winston.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
It was sparkling and disgusting at the same time. It
was equal parts sparkling and equal parts disgusting, and it
was just a fun night. Now, I did have a
little skin in the game, and I'd like to thank
Winston for that final interception when the Browns got the
ball down to the two yard line and Winston through
that interception in the end zone. Because if the Browns

(06:22):
had scored a touchdown, which it seemed they were going
to do, that would have covered the spread. The line
was up to five and a half or six, depending
on where you got it on the game. The Broncos
a rather sizable favorite. But just in general, that aside, right,
the gambling element aside. It was just entertaining.

Speaker 1 (06:41):
And there's not a lot of these games. We always
look forward to the NFL.

Speaker 2 (06:43):
We'll talk about the NFL every night pretty much on
the show, and then we'll get to the playoffs in
the Super Bowl, and then we'll talk about the scouting
combine and free agency, and we'll look forward. We'll lick
our chops for next NFL season. But the reality is
there's only a few nights like this. These nights are
far and fewed between. Most of these Island games aren't

(07:04):
very entertaining. They mostly blow. This was not that, this
was not it. I'm not a Browns fan or a
Broncos fan, but I enjoyed watching the game and Jameis Winston.
Get back to the point, what was your reaction to
Jameis Winston's play. Jameis Winston showed the world the skill
set that got him to a very high position in

(07:25):
the NFL draft coming out of Florida State. He also
showed the world what he played like when he was
the starting quarterback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He painted
his own version of the Mona Lisa. Jameis Winston painted
the Mona Lisa. He did it with finger paints, but
it was still the Mona Lisa. It was still his version,

(07:46):
the good, the bad, and the ugly for Winston, all right.
And it's like they say in the Bible, famous Jamis,
of course giveth, and famous Jamis taketh away. And it's
gonna say, sound crazy. I don't think I'm alone in
this though. How incompetent to the Cleveland Brown's ownership, Look,

(08:06):
how dumb to the front office and the coaching staff. Look,
Jameis Winston should have been the quarterback all year. And
it's a joke. I know why they did it for
financial reasons, but the fact that Winston didn't start all
season is an indictment of ownership in Cleveland, of the
coaching staff in Cleveland, of the front office, What a
bleeping joke, what a you should have started that guy

(08:29):
all year? Who we lost the game? I don't care
iight out care. And here's the thing, right, Jamis, for
whatever it's worth, the very powerful microphones of the overnight
hours here on FSR I rubber stamp, I rubber stamp
Jameis Winston as the quarterback. Now, I believe in the
spectrum of suck. And if you look at the spectrum

(08:51):
of suck, Jameis Winston is what's known as fun bad.
If you're gonna be bad, at least be fun bad.
He's a one man band. He's a carnival Jameis Winston
when he's out there, more bang for your buck. The
teammates love him, the fan base loves him. He plays
with a great amount of joy when he's on the field.

(09:13):
These are all positive. Now he is he a good quarterback?
That's debatable, right, A lot of mistakes and those kill
you and whatnot. But that's not the point here. The
fact is the Browns kept rolling out the total turn
berger Deshaun Watson the creepy quarterback instead of this guy.
And Watson is the polar opposite of Jameis Winston.

Speaker 1 (09:37):
Right, Jameis Winston.

Speaker 2 (09:38):
Is fun bad and Deshaun Watson is pull your hair out.
Why am I even a fan, I've got apathy bad
watching that guy play. What a what a terrible You
talk about the polar opposite, right, Jameis Winston on one
side and Deshaun Watson on the other. Now page two,
as for the other dominating performance for the team from

(10:01):
Ohio in a loss, how do you explain how do
you explain Jerry Judy and his performance for Cleveland and
not just this game, but since since they had a
quarterback changed there in Cleveland, since Winston took over, so
this night in particular, because this focus on what we
just saw. So watching this game, it was like a movie.

(10:25):
It was the Laurean get it up to eighty eight
miles an hour? Where's Doc Brown? This was a back
to the future performance. That was why Jerry Judy was
drafted as high as he was. That was him at Tuscaloosa.
And if you blocked out the Browns uniform and the

(10:46):
fact that it was a Monday night and all that,
you'd say, well, wait a minute, that's Jerry Judy playing
against Arkansas or Old Miss on a Saturday afternoon in
the Southeastern Conference. That's the kind of performance. In fact,
he would even that good. He wasn't even that good
at Alabama. I wasn't even that good Man and the

(11:08):
Broncos the thing that confused me, and I was screaming
profanity at my television. I'm not gonna lie to you,
but the thing that confused me watching this game, and
I you know, handicap. Handicapping is a funny thing because
you were basing everything on what has happened, not what's
going to happen. And if you look at all the
numbers and everything the Broncos had done defensively, like, well,

(11:29):
it's a pretty good defensive team. They've got to be
the dumbest team on the face of the earth. Because
did no one at any point during the game thing, well,
maybe maybe we really should key in here on Jerry Judy.
They made no in game adjustments. The Broncos defense seemingly gobsmacked.

(11:50):
I guess they didn't hear that Jerry Judy was upset
with the franchise and that clearly the Browns made it
a point of emphasis to find the involved. There were
some of those catches there was no one within ten
yards of Jerry Judy. He was out in the like
out in the clear. It was wild. How does that happen?
And even at the end at Jerry Judy, if he

(12:13):
had played like this, with this meticulous approach where he
was very precise with his preparation, he would still be
with the Broncos.

Speaker 1 (12:21):
He wouldn't have been a bust in Denver.

Speaker 2 (12:23):
But even at the end of the game, Winston throws
that interception, the game ceiling interception, and Jerry Judy's sprinting,
He's hustling to make the tackle to avoid the indignity
of a three pick six. Kind of a day for
his quarterback, Jameis Winston. I get it because Jerry Judy
now leads the NFL, leads the entire league in receiving

(12:44):
yards since Jameis Winston took over. I read that number.
He's got five hundred and eighty one receiving yards. And
that includes the Browns having a bye week in Week
eight the Browns actually I think it was Week ten
they had their but either way, it doesn't matter. So
Winston has clearly targeted Jerry Judy and it's worked out.

(13:07):
And so you have a guy who's playing at this point,
whether this last or not. For right now, Jerry Judy
is one of the top ten receivers in the NFL.

Speaker 1 (13:16):
All right, last word. So on the other side the
winning locker room.

Speaker 2 (13:22):
A lot of build up for this game was based
on the offensive Rookie of the year and the honor
which is up in the air right now. Who's going
to get it? Where are you at on bow Knicks
and his Rookie of the Year campaign? Offensive Rookie of
the Year campaign here for the Broncos after the Monday
night game. So if you look at this like an
election on the campaign trail, I looked at this Monday

(13:46):
night game like a stump speech, a very important stump speech.
And at a couple of points during the stump speech
for bow Knicks, the teleprompter wasn't working. There was a
teleprompter mouth function. It's an island game. The world was watching.
And it's fair to say bow Knicks he did not

(14:09):
reach many key voters in the I ninety five corridor.

Speaker 1 (14:13):
And that's important now since he plays in Denver.

Speaker 2 (14:17):
As we know, bo Nicks has to be head and
shoulders above the others who are equal to him at
that position and up for that award. And when you
take a couple of steps back and when you break
things down, he wasn't terrible. He said, wait, two hundred
and ninety something yards passing. I think it was two
hundred ninety four yards passing for bow Nicks in this game.

(14:39):
But he was under fifty percent most of the game.
He ended up just barely above fifty percent completion percentage.
And while he averaged eight point four yards per attempt
bo Nicks, there was that one blown coverage by the Browns,
and that was a ninety three yard catch and run
for a touchdown for Denver. So outside of that, the
other thirty four pass attempts and the ones that were

(15:03):
completed for bow Knicks, he averaged less than six yards
per attempt. He also had two interceptions. One of them
was a tipped interception, but it still counts. It still counts.
And while bo had some issues more interceptions than touchdowns
in this game, you look around and Jaden Daniels, Jaylen Daniels,
they're in Washington. Three touchdown passes and touchdown on the ground,

(15:25):
so they had four touchdowns. Daniels did for the team
formerly known as the Redskins, and the offensive Rookie of
the Year race, the offensive Rookie of the Year race
in the NFL. This particular point it's not over. It's
like it's not like all of a sudden, Daniels is
way ahead of bow Knicks. However, it's too close to call,

(15:47):
and you give the edge to the player that's in
the high ninety five corridor, and that would be the
player from Washington. And I keep going back though, to
that Broncos defense. I'm trying to figure out what they
were doing. I don't know, did they think they could
start there by early here? And as well, it didn't
intercept Jameis Winston. Although a couple of those passes, I
think he thought the Denver defensive players were part of

(16:10):
the Browns. That Jamis thought those guys they were wearing
blue now and that he was throwing them the ball
the way he threw them the ball. But Cleveland had
five hundred and fifty two yards of offense, five hundred
and fifty two yards of offense, twenty eight first downs.
They were great in the red zone until the end
when he threw the interception. But three or four in

(16:30):
the red zone.

Speaker 1 (16:31):
So there it is.

Speaker 2 (16:33):
That is where we are, and Monday night, a comprehensive
look back. We'll take your phone calls if you would
like to be part. We open up the phone lines
right now you can chime in as we can goof
on the Browns for not starting Jameis Winston all year.

Speaker 1 (16:49):
But Watson he's the forever quarterback.

Speaker 2 (16:52):
Yeah yeah, yeah, forever in purgatory, that creepy quarterback, Deshan Watson,
while Jameis Winston. Well, you're not gonna win many more games.
At least you'll be entertaining. And it is the entertainment business.
Eight seven seven nine nine six six three sixty nine.

need you to call it, but if you want to
call up, you are more than welcome to chime in

There's an old saying that comes up this time of
the year as we head into the full holiday season
at Thanksgiving and now we're heading into Christmas and Hanukh
and all the other holidays. If sin butts were candy
and nuts, it would be filling the blank every day, right.
If sin butts were candy and nuts, it would be
NFL playoff fun every day? Shall we say, what is

(17:48):
that all about? We will get to it. We'll take
your calls, the whole thing, and we will do it next.

All right, no Christmas music and Lorena's decided Christmas is

Speaker 1 (18:09):
How about that?

Speaker 2 (18:10):
It's I Bill Miller here. The great silent majority of
listeners to the Mallord Show enjoy Christmas music. They love
those Mallard Christmas tunes, but apparently no more. If you

back to Ben. All right, thank you, Bill, slim Tim writes,
and he says, having a I'll clean this up, crappy day,
but things are going to turn around. Mallor with his
hot takes and blabbering will lift my spirits. I don't
want that kind of pressure, slim Tim, How dare you

(18:53):
how dare you? Tiger Man in Utah says Ben, I
just witnessed a pretty cool fight at Caesar's in Vay,
Vegas worth the price of admission. Well, you can't just
tease that tiger Man. You have to give us more details,
like was the fight inside the casino near the slot machines?

Speaker 1 (19:09):
Was it in the sports book? Where was?

Speaker 2 (19:12):
I've spent many a night, it seems his spouse. Now
I moved on. I used to spend a lot of
time at the sports book there. They shortened, they closed
off part of the old sports book at Caesars, so
I don't have n't been there that often lately. Circa
that's usually my spot in Vegas. I go down there
and that's my hangout spot. Eugene in Chicago rights and

(19:33):
he says, wow, the Jamis Winston ride and then a
bunch of loop t loops and all that, and why not?

Speaker 1 (19:41):
Who else do we have a page down? I can't
read that.

Speaker 2 (19:45):
Ozzie Wise from the Boondocks of Australia rights in via
the satellite hookup that he's got thanks to Elon Musk.

Speaker 1 (19:52):
He says, I.

Speaker 2 (19:52):
Would rather have kept famous Jamis than the other stiff
Derek Carr, even Aaron Brook would be better. Well, yeah,
you'd much rather watch Jameis Winston play quarterback than Derek
Carr nine days a week, not seven, not eight, nine
days a week. You would rather watch that. Shannon Moyes says,

(20:16):
Solid Hour number one monologue, I am a day behind.
He says, this is very odd to me that you
would be a day behind the show's four hours. We
do the show four hours a night, and with the
podcast there's limited commercial interruptions, and then there's like a
bunch of other times during the day. Anyway, Yeah, he
said day behind. Ryan writes and says, why was Dorian Thompson,

(20:38):
Robinson or whoever the second string quarterback ahead of Jamis
Winston because Thompson cannot throw a forward pass. To be honest,
Winston is better than half the starting quarterbacks in the
NFL right now.

Speaker 1 (20:50):
He's more entertained. I don't know he's better, but he's
more entertaining.

Speaker 2 (20:54):
Robin Minnesota writes in he says, I really enjoyed your
take on famous Jameis Winston. However, I'm going to wait
for Dick and Dayton's call in our number four to
get an opinion from a deep down Cleveland brown sports fan.
Maybe he can give us a Bernie Coozar, take us

(21:15):
to take us while well, you know, we're I was
saying about this when you think about the Browns and
what that franchise has been, how pathetic the Brown's have been.
But for our friend Dick and Dayton, who only listens
the last hour, and I don't even know if he listens,
he just calls in the last hour. The dixter as
we like to call him, a man that truly loves
sports radio. There aren't many of those left in the

(21:36):
world that worship at the altar of radio in general.
But Dick and Dayton a massive support of what we do.
And he never mentions anyone other than Bernie Cozar. It's
like everything stopped in nineteen eighty six for Dick and Dayton.
But Brian Sipe and some other Browns quarterbacks over the years,
and it's not like Bernie was the only one. He

(21:58):
never mentions anyone other than Bernie. Ever, king Roy writes
in says, I would love to hear from the resident
Bronco tonight's game and how far the playoffs, how far
in the playoffs this team can go no Trdinas rights
since its jameis Winston's revival is quite similar to that
of the NFC West Division leading Seahawks, the great Geno Smith. Well,

(22:20):
no s Tredenas you keep drinking that kool aid. If
you think Geno Smith is a good quarterback, then you
are not that bright. Bad job by you, ferg Dog rights,
and he says, there, there it is. I've been waiting
for your first winter is coming tire iraq dot com
live read of the year. We're expecting heavy snowfall this
winter here in Fullerton, he says in SoCal, So now's

(22:46):
the perfect time for me to buy a new set
of winter tires. That's right for Dog, that that wintery mix.
There might be a bomb cyclone that comes in there,
or an a atmospheric river right, the at Sherrick River
might come through there, so watch out late night drug tester.

Speaker 4 (23:03):
Right.

Speaker 2 (23:03):
Since the Hays always always a good feeling to finish
the NFL week with a cash out win thanks to
Winston and Benny versus the penny Mane, we picked up
some ground. I don't have the numbers in front of me.
I was in a very passionate text conversation with the
person that reads the teleprompter on the TV show Looney Tunes,

(23:25):
who prematurely sent me a message to congratulate me on
picking the Broncos over the Browns. And shortly after that,
the Browns had first and goal to go from the
two yard line, pretty much guaranteeing I was going to
lose the bet. So I was very angry with the
person that reads the teleprompter and Benny versus the Penny

(23:48):
Looney Tunes, and I was sending him some very angry messages,
and then Jameis Winston bailed him out.

Speaker 1 (23:56):
I did tell him.

Speaker 2 (23:56):
I said, listen, Winston, build you out. Because you get
first goal, you're down by nine or whatever it was,
first and goal, you're right there at the two yard line.
The Broncos are gonna be like, all right, well, let
him score a touchdown because we'll get the ball back
and on the on side kick almost never works, so
who cares and dah it didn't quite work out that
way because Winston worked his magic, his lucky charms.

Speaker 1 (24:20):
Random Ryan listening.

Speaker 2 (24:21):
To us live, He'll do it live in Carolina, he writes,
and he says that Mary Cooper is wishing he was
a Cleveland Brown again now that they have a real quarterback,
Robin Vegas. Well, listen, Mary Cooper's going to the playoffs
in Buffalo, though he's not the center of the universe
for the Buffalo Bills. Robin Vegas as solid monologue. Mister Miller,

(24:44):
I'll give that a firm B plus. Did I hear
you say that Jerry Judy was pardoned? Good job by you.
I see what you did there. I don't know if
I used that exact term. I think you might have
heard that, But if it works for you, if you
give me a thumbs up on the malle monologue, then
I'm good. Let's go to the phones. We'll say hello
to Let's say hello to Greg who's in the belly

(25:07):
of the Beast and the mile. I said hello, Greg, welcome, Hey.

Speaker 4 (25:11):
How's it going. I went to the game. It was entertaining.
I guess would be probably the best thing. But I
think the biggest thing with you know, the Broncos defense
is we never put certain directly. We didn't handcuff him
to Jay Judy. There's this guy thirty nine Wallace that

(25:34):
I don't know if I've seen him take more than
one snap. The rest of the year, but he probably
got burned like ten times on everything. So it was,
you know, we like to boom.

Speaker 2 (25:50):
But well you got you got your money's worth, although
he did shove it down your throat, Judy with that performance,
considering the booze and yeah, I.

Speaker 4 (25:58):
Mean we just wanted to him to be good. He'd
actually probably fit in pretty good with bo Nicks now
because the problem with Jay Judy was he he runs,
he gets he gets opened quickly, right, So that's.

Speaker 1 (26:14):
That's a problem. How is that a problem?

Speaker 2 (26:16):
He gets open, that's not a problem that he also
dropped a bunch of balls.

Speaker 4 (26:19):
I'm saying. I'm saying, I'm saying with Russell Wilson and stuff.
In the last couple of years, he didn't fit in
very well because we couldn't make a decision. But you know,
the way that Chompayne has both playing now, he might
actually fit in pretty good because.

Speaker 1 (26:35):
Hey, you can get him back, he.

Speaker 4 (26:38):
Gets help it quickly, He's get those points. So you know,
I mean it was it was a you know, it
was a funny game. And I I mean Nick Bonito
didn't get a sack, right, but he did get like
a sixty three yard intercept well, and.

Speaker 1 (26:54):
He did get the the Kurt Warner Player of the game.

Speaker 2 (26:57):
I was listening to the end of the radio broadcast
with horror our buddy Kevin Harlan.

Speaker 1 (27:01):
So you got the player.

Speaker 4 (27:02):
Yeah, yeah, it was, you know it was. It was
definitely an.

Speaker 2 (27:05):
I got you. All right, Well, listen, you enjoy You
got your money's worth, right, you enjoyed it. The more
point that Broncos won the game. They cover the spread
if you bet on it, so you want a little
money there. So it's all good, right, everything's good.

Speaker 4 (27:18):
The rest of us, you know, the Nuggets and athletes.

Speaker 1 (27:24):

Speaker 5 (28:42):
I'll send you a video from uh when after the
Broncos had that game ceiling pick six, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (28:47):
That was it mostly Bronco fans, there was, it was
it was one guy in a forty nine ers jersey
was lost.

Speaker 1 (28:55):
I don't know where he handed up there.

Speaker 2 (28:57):
Yeah, it was somebody told them we're doing an NFL thing,
so just pulled out the forty.

Speaker 1 (29:01):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 4 (29:02):
It was.

Speaker 1 (29:03):
It was ninety nine percent Broncos fans. Was that was
that because they wanted it that way?

Speaker 2 (29:07):
There were no Browns fans there was.

Speaker 1 (29:09):
It was a Broncos. I saw like maybe two people
wearing Brown's gears.

Speaker 2 (29:13):
Well there are more Brocco fans than Browns fans in
La though, right.

Speaker 5 (29:16):
Yeah, because and I don't know how much it had
to do with the Broncos being at home. I mean,
I don't I don't know if that makes a difference,
but it was it was like you were in Denver.

Speaker 2 (29:26):
Because did they did they charge stadium prices for the food?
Did they?

Speaker 4 (29:30):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (29:30):
They did.

Speaker 1 (29:31):
I think it was that bad. It was. It was
twelve dollars for French fries.

Speaker 2 (29:35):
Twelve dollars for a couple of potatoes. Yeah, I can
make those at home, two potatoes, like it makes many potatoes,
Oh my god.

Speaker 6 (29:43):
Yeah, the soft pretzel sticks. I saw pretzels, yeah, with
the cheese. Yeah, that was thirteen dollars. Thirteen dollars. Got
a doll for dolls. We got three pretzel sticks, three
of them. Yep, that's it for thirteen dollars. Wow, yeah,
it's kind of fat, Lauria, are you so bougie? Lay
You don't think that's expensive?

Speaker 2 (30:03):
Really?

Speaker 1 (30:03):
Do you not look at the prices?

Speaker 2 (30:05):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (30:05):
And they needed more salt.

Speaker 2 (30:07):
There was not enough side did you go and say
hi the salt? She didn't she didn't pay for it.

Speaker 1 (30:11):
Oh, she didn't pay. So for you, it doesn't matter.
I lost my phone.

Speaker 2 (30:14):
You lost your phone. That's it can be. I've used that,
I've used that. Yeah, I lost my phone. That's it.
So let's do the math on so thirteen and then
divided by three, So that is four dollars and thirty
cents for each pretzel. Yeah, that's uh, you know how
many pretz Well? I guess even Wetzels are one of
the big chains, you know, anti ans or whatever's expensive too,

(30:36):
but still it's you know, getting getting some quality product
there and one of those those chains.

Speaker 1 (30:42):
So you had a good time, So yeah, you had
a good name.

Speaker 4 (30:45):
Ben.

Speaker 2 (30:46):
I might you know one of these nights maybe about
going like a weekend, like there's some Saturday games coming up.
I could do that, like NFL games on.

Speaker 5 (30:52):
A Saturday's definitely. It's the closest thing to actually being
at the stadium. It's it's pretty cool. Yeah, all right,
that's a good deal.

Speaker 2 (30:58):
So and and you said the other day how much
it costs. It's not obviously you get in. There's some Yeah,
we were you gotta spend.

Speaker 1 (31:07):
We were in like the best seating section. Uh, you
were in the box seats.

Speaker 5 (31:13):
We weren't center screen, we were to the so it
was the it was level at the screen, but come
off to the right.

Speaker 1 (31:20):
And it was eighty eight dollars per per seed.

Speaker 2 (31:23):
So how do they have this set up? They have
special cameras that they use, Yeah, they do. So there
was cameras like in each end zone. I think they
were situated underneath the goalpost. Oh okay, and so you
could watch the game from that angle. And then they
were also sideline and then in the stands. So the
NFL must be getting a cut, right, They must be

(31:44):
getting some money out of this.

Speaker 1 (31:46):
You would think, you r I think so, yeah, yeah,
all right, and they showed it.

Speaker 2 (31:48):
The other thing that tells me they're getting a cut
out of it is they they showed it on some
NFL broadcasts. I saw it on some random broadcasts. They
really Yeah, a couple of weeks ago, they showed the bar.
It was a Monday night. I think it was either
Sunday or Monday night. They showed the people reacting at
the bar. It looks cool, I mean, it looks awesome.
Just to follow up that guy Greg from Denver, though
they have the actual nerd stats, Jerry Judy versus Patrick

(32:12):
Sartan lined up against each other thirty four of fifty
seven possible plays, and Judy against his old college teammate
and his old NFL teammate. He allowed two receptions for
twenty yards. That means the rest of the time, Judy
had seven receptions for two hundred and fifteen yards.

Speaker 5 (32:39):
And to follow up on that, though the Broncos were shorthanded,
their other starting.

Speaker 1 (32:43):
Cornerback did not play. Riley Moss.

Speaker 2 (32:46):
Well that's Riley Moss, the second coming of Jesus.

Speaker 1 (32:49):
I mean, my god. Apparently better than number thirty nine.
Whoever that was?

Speaker 2 (32:54):
Yeah, all right, Well, ifs and Butts were Kenny and Nuts,
the playoffs playoffs would start right now now.

Speaker 1 (33:00):
I always love the way too soon.

Speaker 2 (33:02):
Look at the NFL playoff matchups as we are coming
down the home stretch, we're hitting into week fourteen. This
is the upcoming weekend, the last weekend of bye weeks
in the NFL, and then after that everyone plays every week,
but the playoff matchups. As of now your number one seeds,
nothing's changed their Kansas City and Detroit, respectively, but the
playoff matchups on Wildcard weekend, you'd have Denver at Buffalo ooh,

(33:28):
that's a tough one coop, Broncos at Bill's Ravens at Steelers.
On the AFC side, Chargers and Texans, that's a toss
up game. That five to four game NFC matchups would
be Washington at Philly, NFC East matchup. Green Bay would
be at Seattle, could luck to Seattle one and done,
and Minnesota at Atlanta by Sam Donold versus Kirk Cousins.

(33:49):
That'd be a decent matchup. But those are the matchups
as of right now heading down the home stretch. Eight
seven to seven ninety nine on Fox is the number
eight seven seven nine to nine six six.

Speaker 1 (34:01):
Time. Now for the who Am I?

Speaker 2 (34:03):
Game? You might have heard about this, but you probably
didn't hear the rest of the story. So we talked
about Jerry Judy tw unred nineteen receiving yards the most
in NFL history by any player in a game versus
his former team. He broke my previous record. So, Jerry
Judy two hundred nineteen receiving yards the most in NFL
history by any player in a game versus his former team.

(34:25):
He broke my previous record. Who am I? That's the
question the answer. We'll get to it and we will

Speaker 2 (35:43):

to get into a fight because you have no chance
of escaping, I would say a casino is at the
very top of that list, outside of the Pentagon or
something like that. Daniel writes in he says, my father
in law's greatest advice always remember to forget your wallet.
