Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go. Well gume in is our one of
the Ben Maler Show podcast. We start out with a
rematch of the Super Bowl the Philadelphia Eagles the Kansas
City Chiefs. As this game turned around in the second half,
it went the way of Philadelphia. How much responsibility is
Travis Kelcey get for the Chiefs losing as he had
(00:23):
a big part in Kansas City losing that game? Also,
where does this loss leave Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs
as they go down again at Arrowhead Stadium? And does
this win cement the Eagles as the team to beat
in the NFL after Week eleven? Talk about all that
and more. Give it up here it is our number one,
(00:46):
a game for the Birds. Well come, in the beginning
of another edition of the Ben Malors Show.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
We are in the air everywhere belly as we navigate
this audio masquerade coast, Duck coast, border, the border and
beyond on the vast and unmeasurably powerful microphones of fsre
ammating live from a conclusion, a foe gone conclusion. We
(01:21):
are broadcasting live from the tyraq dot com studios.

lead this hour, coming from the heartland of America. It's
(01:46):
a damp, cool night at Arrowhead Stadium, a rematch of
Super Bowl fifty seven played back in February in the
Valley of the Sun. Jalen Hurts and the Eagles, Hey
Gee l e as Eagles their roadshow visiting Patrick Mahomes
and the Chiefs. They made for TV matchup. Were you glued?
(02:09):
Were you locked in? Were you watching? Perhaps not now.
Jalen Hurts didn't play all that well, that's an unpopular opinion.
Did not play all that well, but he did run
for a pair of second half touchdowns and Philly rallies
back from a double digit deficit and they get to
twenty one to seventeen KO of KC. In that rematch,
(02:34):
the Chiefs shut out they got bupkus in the second half.
So the Eagles improved to nine and one as a
sexy record, they're the top team in the NFL through
ten games, and Cansa City dropping to seven and three,
and they are in a pile up as there are
a bunch of teams there behind behind the Ravens in
(02:58):
the AFC, but technically Kansas City's the number two seed
now behind Baltimore in the American Football Conference. So let
us discuss the question how much responsibility does Travis Kelcey.
That's right, Travis Kelcey get for the Chiefs losing. That
is where we are going to begin. So I've got microscope, Savannah, elephant,
(03:21):
and yokozuna, and we will combine all of these things
together and we are going to make a goose egg,
which is again what the Chiefs put up in the
second half. So to answer the question, how much responsibility
does Travis Kelcey get for the Chiefs going down in
this game, you start to shame and blame number eighty seven.
(03:46):
It is a complicated web we weave. Travis kelce had
seven catches in this game on nine targets for forty
four yards in a touchdown. So for the uneducated fan,
for the low information fan, he did fine. And you're
just being a hater. What's wrong with you? But when
you dig below the surface, it's a little bit below
(04:09):
the surface, you realize wasn't good enough. Travis Kelcey was
not good enough. No, why do I say that? Because
of incompetence. Sporadic incompetence. Now, Kelsey dropped a key third
down play in the fourth quarter. He did catch the
fourth down, but there shouldn't have been a fourth down.
(04:30):
He catches the third down play that changes that drive
and the biggest sin of them all right to confessional
Travis Kelcey. Early in the fourth quarter, the Chiefs matriculating
the ball down the field, and he coughs up the
football at the Eagles nine yard line, the Chiefs leading
(04:51):
by a field goal at the time, and he fumbles
in the red zone. At worst, Kansas City gets a
chip shot field goal. They go up by six, forcing
the Eagles to get a touchdown with a good Chiefs defense. Instead,
Travis Kelcey coughs up the fur ball. And you're supposed
to be the franchise player. Okay, you're supposed to be
(05:11):
the franchise player. And we in here talking about a fumble,
not a catch, not a catch, Not about a fumble.
Travis kelce put himself under a swifty sized microscope because
of his social activity. During the team's bye week, Travis
kelce traveled five thousand, five hundred miles to Argentina, which
(05:34):
is where Taylor Swift was beginning the next leg of
the Era's tour, and Kelsey was there smoochy, smoochy, lovey lovey,
having a fine time. He was Travis Kelcey, and that's fine.
But the way it works. I didn't make the rules,
but the way it works. Just like if Tony Romol
goes to Mexico on vacation, or the Giants back in
(05:58):
the day with Odell Beckham before the playoffs they go
on a boat in Florida. The rules are the rules.
Travis Kelcey decided to go to Argentina. He did it
for whatever reason, but he didn't play well enough. You
gotta win the game. You gotta make the catch. You
can't fumble. He cost him the game. He fumbled. It's
(06:22):
not him. Here's Travis Kelcey following this loss. So here
the question and the answer with Kelsey at his locker,
in the losing locker room, where the better story is,
let's go to the audio tape diagnosis. What's going on
with the offense.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Otherwise I gotta be better, just not playing out to
the level that I have in the past.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
I gotta be better, and he's just the Eagles did
in the second half for sort of.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Disrupts now turnovers, turnovers and and penalties on our half.
Speaker 5 (06:49):
I think it's nothing that.
Speaker 6 (06:50):
They did, Travis, three o us three games, no points
in the second half for you. I didn't find anything second,
just mentioned the turnovers in the second half of just mentioning.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
The the flags is all fixable. We just gotta do it, Travis.
Speaker 7 (07:02):
Feel like a partecutarly emotional game to you when you
play them, all right.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Who knows what he said after that, but Travis Kelcey,
that was an odd way to stop a sound bite,
by the way, But Travis Kelcey, I guess he's just
gotta shake it off, right, He's gotta shake it off,
all right? Anyway, turning the page, So where does this
loss leave Patrick mahoney and the Chiefs? Where does it
leave Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs? So it leaves them
(07:27):
licking their wounds. It's not a mortal defeat. You're not eliminated.
It's not like they gave a trophy and had a
parade for the Eagles. You wouldn't know that the way
the Birds fans were celebrating after the game. But even
though Kelsey gets a ton of blame for his South
American excursion, Patrick Mahomes tossed an interception in the end zone.
(07:49):
That is taboo. You can't that's tab bio. That's what
Zach Wilson does. That's not what you do. He's always
been able to get the most out of his guys,
Patrick wils Right now, it's not exactly working out that way.
Andy Reid can scheme up anybody. Also, right the front office,
what did the Chiefs decide to do yet again this offseason?
(08:11):
They won the Super Bowl, so they say, no, what
we're gonna punt. We're not gonna go out and make
a move for a top notch wide receiver. We're not
doing that. No, we're not gonna acquire a big name receiver.
Not gonna have it. Then again at the trade deadline,
they said, nah, no, we're not gonna do that. They
didn't get a huge headline receiver and so they still
(08:33):
have not been able to fill the void by Tyreek goll. Yeah,
but they won the Super Bowl. I get that. But
on a week to week basis, they're continuing to bet
that the guys on their team are going to step up.
That's what they're betting on. And so far the wide
receiving corps in Kansas City has the dexterity of a
Savannah elephant on a high wire. There are a bunch
(08:55):
of klutzes. What's my evidence? How about Justin Watson who
dropped a pass that would have extended on a fourth
down and twenty five he would have had a first
down extended to drive in the final minute and fred
X type catch from back in the day. He didn't
do it. And the biggest, the biggest criminal of them all,
(09:16):
Marquez Valdez Scantling. Wow, what a turn burger. Marquez Valdez
Scantling legitimately had a game winning touchdown right in his hands.
Perfect throw by Maholmes. You're a professional wide receiver. You've
beaten the defender and he stumbled and dropped the ball.
(09:38):
Now I realize there's a long winding road in the NFL.
I get that, and I'm here for the long riinding
road every week. But the early precincts reporting in the
vote totals and they are calling for a recall among
the Kansas City wideouts. The Chiefs have scored in NFL
(09:58):
worth fifty three p points in the second half. That
is actually worse than everyone else Carolina that doesn't know
how to play professional football, the Arizona Cardinals, who blow
everybody fifty three points in the second half. Nothing has
changed more in my lifetime than halftime adjustments, and there
are none in Kansas City that equates, if you do
(10:19):
the malor math, just over five points per game in
the second half all season. We're not in Week two
or Week four or week six. We are now done.
As the curtain comes down on Week eleven in the NFL.
All right, last word, does this win? We'll go to
the winning locker room. Does this victory cement the Eagles
(10:42):
as the team to beat in the NFL? So you
can't see, but I'm nodding my head. Yes, Now, this
is not Secretariat running away, and you know up by
thirty lanks, that's not it at all. Nothing has yet
been decided. But we do the show today. You are
what your record say you are. And in this particular moment,
(11:03):
the Philadelphia Eagles, by way of a nine to one record,
are clearly the top team. Right they're the number one team.
But it's not like they have this invincibility about them,
and maybe I'm wrong on that. I don't know. I
just do the overnight show around here. But I don't
get the sins that you go into a matchup with
(11:24):
your favorite team, whoever the top team you have, whether
you're the Niners now that they got their guys back
with the great System, quarterback brock Perty the Detroit Lions
on any given Sunday, the Baltimore Ravens a rematch with
Kansas City. You look at any of these top teams
and you're like, would you be stunned if the Eagles
(11:44):
were to lose? I would not. Now the one sweet
spot for Philadelphia, where they are several galaxies ahead of
everyone else in the NFL, they have the single most
unstoppable play that was on display in this Monday night game.
The tush push is golden, the tush ay pushy and
(12:09):
Jalen Hurtz is the Yokozuna of the tush push. And
you think of the most unstoppable plays, so many of
them are basketball. Kareem abdul Jabbar skyhook, the Jordan fadeaway,
the dream shake from Akeim Elijah on Dirk Novizky's one
legged leaner, all those type of plays, and this play,
that is the secretariat play. That's where Jalen Hurts is
(12:32):
the maestro. And you look at all the other numbers,
Jalen Hurts not that impressive, but that tush push. If
they just get within one yard, third and one fourth
and one, they convert ninety eight percent of the time.
It's insane. They are thirty three lengths ahead of everyone else.
And the forty nine Ers and Lions are still bird
dogging in the NFC. And the Lions have a game
(12:54):
they should win on Thanksgiving. The Eagles will have a
letdown game against Buffalo after they won their give the
season super Bowl over Kansas City. So things can come
at you pretty fast in the NFL next weekend. But
for now, in the moment, Philadelphia nine to one. They're
the top team in the NFC, and they are in
the driver's seat for lost wages. Nevada and that is
(13:16):
the site of the February Super Bowl in the Nevada Desert.

Speaker 1 (15:30):
Talking about that big Monday night game that goes the
way of the road team. The Eagles get to nine
and one as they take down the Chiefs on a
wet night at Arrowhead Stadium. Freddie Wrightsin says Travis Kelce
was not in the stadium there, he was thinking of
his boo Taylor Swift. Brian says, a Chiefs choke job
(15:51):
at home, gifting that win to Philadelphia. So he says,
super Marcus Steve says, what is it with teams not
wanting to run the ball? Kansas City was running the
ball for eight yards a clip, and they still threw
the ball forty five times. Well, super Marcus Steve, I
don't know if you've been paying attention to last I
don't know twenty years. It's twenty years, super Marcus Steve.
(16:13):
The way the modern game of football is played, it's
not the nineteen eighties, of the nineteen nineties, or even
the early two thousands. No, that's just the way it goes.
But the Eagles, this one, I was talking about the
better story in the losing locker room howl. You win,
everyone kissing your ass. The Philadelphia Eagles on offense had
two hundred and thirty eight total yards of offense. We're
(16:33):
terrible on third down. We're three of eleven on third down.
You look at Jalen Hurd's passing numbers, they were nothing spectacular.
He had one hundred and fifty yards passing, he was
sacked five times, he threw an interception. But yet because
the Eagles won, because Philadelphia won the games, it's smoochy,
(16:55):
smoochy smoochy, we love you, we love you, You're the
greatest and all that. The running totals for the Chiefs
they ran the ball thirty times for one hundred and
sixty eight yards, so they were very efficient. But they
did not did not score in the second half of
(17:17):
the game, and they did give the football away early
and off in two backbreaking interceptions, one in the end zone,
the Travis Kelcey interception and then the Travis kell the
Patrick ma Holmes interception. The Travis kelce fumble inside the
ten yard line. That was the other play. You're like,
(17:38):
whoa wait a minute here, what was that? My goodness,
my goodness. Now meanwhile, we'll take some calls here in
a minute. But there's a lot of buzz that Travis Kelcey.
This is gonna be his final year with the Chiefs.
Oh yeah, final year with the chief Did you see this? No? Yeah,
(17:59):
So he did an interview with the Wall Street Journal.
When I want my sports news, I go to the
Wall Street Journal. That is where I go. When I
want my politics and I want my Wall Street news.
I don't go to the Wall Street Journal. I go
I go to like, you know, Fox Sports. But anyway,
this guy from the Wall Street Journal interviewed Travis Kelsey
(18:20):
and he said that he is pondering retirement. Why would
you even ponder retirement? He said? When I asked about that,
he said, more than anyone could ever imagine. Travis Kelsey
stated about retiring. But let me ask you this. If
(18:41):
Travis Kelce is a former NFL player, does he get
to date Taylor Swift? You know what I'm saying. If
he's some washed up former jock, does that have the
same wow factor to someone like Taylor Swift? You know
what I mean? Like, once you retire, you're just another
retired athlete. There's a dime a dozen. But when you're
(19:02):
the man in the arena, when you're playing, you get
all the perks where the rock stars want to date
you and all that stuff. But you don't get that
if you're a former player. And sure he'll have opportunities
in media and things like that where he can make
a fair amount of money, but it's not the same.
It is absolutely not the same. Now you think he's
(19:23):
closer to the end than he is the beginning. We
know that he's had a bunch of operations and whatnot,
but he's thirty four years old. We've seen tight ends
play till they're almost forty, so he's probably got another
at least three years left to play, should he want to.
But I'll tell you what right now, just between me
(19:44):
and you, if he said I'm retiring from the NFL.
A minute later, Taylor Swift dumps him, says, I'm done
with you. I don't want to date you anymore. You're
not attractive to me. You're a former athlete. I want
a current athlete. I'm going to I'm going to dump you,
and I'm gonna find another tight end that I would
like to date, but not your tight end. No longer
(20:08):
need you. I'm just going to move on, So get
out of here.
Speaker 6 (20:11):
All right.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Let's go to the phones and we'll say hello to
Eenie Meenie Mini Mall. Let's say hello to Andre, who
is in the Commonwealth. Hello, Andre, what's going on?
Speaker 5 (20:26):
Ben? It's good to be with you. Listen, we're gonna
start off the Iggles. There's no they're not They're not
going to leave this mountaintop anytime soon. I heard you
say that they're gonna have a tough match against the
have a tough match against the Bills and uh. And
then possibly after that, you know they're gonna kind of
(20:46):
slowly but surely regress back.
Speaker 8 (20:49):
To the need.
Speaker 5 (20:50):
No, no, no, we have to remember last year's Super
Bowl Sunday, the Eiggles were robbed, okay, based on that
TICKI tat call at the end of the game that
essentially gave the Chiefs a Super Bowl quite egregious. Uh,
just for all the millions of people watching. Myself, I'm
a referee, Okay, you go after the elephant's been, you
(21:11):
leave the fields mice alone. So that shouldn't have been.
That was ridiculous, is what it was. And we should
have let the two teams decide it, possibly going into overtime,
and then you know, the Chiefs might have got come
out on top. But the Eagles and really sports fans
everywhere were deprived of that ending.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Una tell you, I don't feel deprived. I don't. I
don't feel the sense of that I missed something. I
don't feel that.
Speaker 5 (21:38):
Way because one technicality, you know, in that pass and
affairs essentially gave the Chiefs the game. The game allowed
them to wind down the clock till at two seconds.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Know andre as an official, that much of officiating is subjective.
And that's part of the problem with the officiating world,
that what is a penalty to one person is not
a penalty to another person. Thus, you have the NFL
right where you could conceivably call a penalty on every
(22:09):
play if you wanted to. But why do you let
some things get away and not call penalties right and
then other other times you will call a penalty. There's
no rhyme or reason to it.
Speaker 5 (22:19):
Ben Ben Ben. There's good radio shows like the Ben
Mallor shows, okay, and then there's people out there, you know,
just doing what they can and it doesn't resonate and
it doesn't connect, and it's no good. You have good
police officers, you know, you don't get somebody a take
it for fifty eight miles an hour and a fifty
five you let that go, all right, And the same
thing is true and officiating. So I get yeah, s
(22:41):
objective and there're you know, no, there's there's objective. There's objectivity. Okay,
that was fifty seven and a fifty five. It should
have been let go. Okay, everybody knows that. I don't
care how you want to go as it over.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
It was preposterous now, but that's not you're you're you're
going back to last year. We live, Andrea, I live
in the moment, live in the past. I'm not a historian.
I live in the mallment and in the moment. I
look at the Eagles nine to one, great record, right,
everyone's all gung houl and the Eagles, and they got
a good club. I saw him in person. I saw
them play the Rams in person, and they came back
(23:14):
and dominated the second half of that game. So that
was impressive. But this is also the same Eagle team that,
if I'm not mistaken, struggled with the Washington Commanders a
couple of times this year in the division. Lost to
the Jets. All right, So I mean, how I mean
you lose to the Jets, How impressive are that is
(23:38):
a tough one to get passed. You lost to the Jets,
barely beat the Patriots in Week one, so it's not
like they're not a juggernaut.
Speaker 5 (23:46):
They're not a juggernaut, Ben. And in conclusion, you got
the San Francisco forty nine ers out there lurking. All
I'm saying is I don't see this Eagles team taking
their foot off the gas based on how they were
cheated last year. I know for them, they got the
Rocky music play in the background, Rocky one. We're not
doing Rocky seven or eight. We're doing Rocky Run.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
No listen. Here's the thing, though, Andre, you look at
the upcoming schedule. So they beat the Chiefs. This was
a game after the bye week, everyone circled Eagles Chiefs.
Now you've got the dreaded Sandwich game with Buffalo coming
up in week twelve. Because the next big game for
the Eagles is the forty nine Ers game in Philly.
That's in week thirteen. So you got to get through Buffalo.
(24:25):
That's a classic letdown spot.
Speaker 5 (24:28):
Indeed, But Buffalo, they don't know who they are. Bet
but Buffalo is up one week beaten the breaks off
of the Jets and Jack Wilson beats Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Yeah, okay, that's true. But you lost to the Jets
the Eagles, and you you struggled with the Commanders. All right,
Well leave it there, Andre, but thanks for checking in.
We appreciate the great Andrea in the Commonwealth.
Speaker 8 (24:49):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meler
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 6 (24:55):
Back to news from the NFL and quarterback news. The Jets.
Of course, they benched Zach Wilson on Sunday, and they
have announced that Wilson will now be the number three
quarterback on the roster. Tim Boyle will start against the
Dolphins on Friday, Trevor sim Me in the back, but
then Wilson the number three. All of them apparently will
(25:15):
be active for that game against Miami.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
That's a huge game at it's Black Friday. Yes, And
how many products they are going to shove down our
throats to buy during that Jets Dolphins game? And I'm
not going to buy a single thing they advertise on
that game. How about missus Maller though she will not
be watching, so we will not be watching, or I
would be watching, She will not be buying anything, and
neither will I. Not that I would dare. I don't
(25:43):
want to. I'd spad enough. You know I love advertising,
But I'm watching an NFL game. I don't need. What
are they going to have like the second quarter? We
have a flash sale. There's a flash sale right now
on pop up beach chairs. You can get pop up
beach chairs right now, and blah blah blah blah blah.
Go to this website all that stuff. So no, I'm good.
Now the tabloids having a field day because Jason Kelsey,
(26:03):
that's the other Kelsey. Jason Kelsey's wife did not sit
in the Travis Kelsey suite, did not sit with the
other you know women there, the other wives and girlfriends
and whatnot. The Kelsey sweet there that's the epicenter. That's
where all the tabloid media have their cameras during Chiefs games.
Now the Travis Kelsey suite. But Jason Kelsey's wife did
(26:26):
not sit there. And she said, I'm I'm a stands girl,
is what she said. That's a shot. That is a
shot at all these like pack, that's a shot at
Pat mahomes wife. That's a shot. That's right, that's a stand.
Take that you other women, you know, you elitists that
(26:48):
sit in your little luxury box.
Speaker 6 (26:49):
Now one of those skilled position people. It was a
real salt of the earth type of player and woman.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
Kylie Kelsey is is her name. And she said, I'm
sitting in the stands cheering with the fans, even if
it's in an opposing team stadium. She said, there you go.
She likes she said she liked the environment there, so
I guess she doesn't want to hide out where they
have the private bathroom and they have the refrigerator and
the dessert cart and all that.
Speaker 6 (27:19):
That's what you would do if you were if you
were married to an NFL player.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
That would be awkward. If I was married to an
NFL player, Eddie, I think that would be that would
be uh.
Speaker 6 (27:29):
But you would you would sit in the you would
sit in the luxury box. Now that's you.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
I don't know, that's me. Why why would you say that?
Speaker 4 (27:37):
Why?
Speaker 6 (27:37):
Well, because when you go to games, you always sit
up in the press box.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Well, I'm a member, I'm a you know, I'm a
reporter covering the game. I'm doing the heavy lifting. You know.
Do I eat the mini slider or do I eat
the hot dog? It's very hard declusion to make. Do
I eat the garlic tater tots? I don't know. These
are tough decisions to make it, but somebody has to
make them. And I'm doing it for the listener. Okay,

I'm doing it for the list and that's why I'm here.
Speaker 6 (28:04):
By the way, I was alerted in the King's press
box that the meals are once again free down in
the press room.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
You know, that was the big talk at at SOFAR.
I was talking to the great Steve Futterman, veteran reporters
working for the CBC. He got fired from his radio
Jaz work at the CBC. Oh Canada, Yeah, great Canadian
reporter Steve Futterman. And he was telling me, He's like, yeah,
you got to get back out there. Free food. I'm like, oh, okay,

who's monitoring. Yeah, there's a guy that monitors. He's got
a list. So I walked down there. I'm like, hey,
am I on the list? And then he just looked
at my credential to see my name, didn't even ask
my name. His pages, you know, splip through the pages
and he's like, yeah, crossed my name off them on
the list.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Wow. So is it like a boxed meal or is
there actually a legitimate meal there.

but you did not. Why did you not go for
the ice cream?
Speaker 6 (29:20):
Well, I didn't want to. I didn't want to hang
out there in the press room. I wanted to go
up up.

Oh see that, Eddie, I'm a good looking man. I'm

Speaker 4 (31:19):
In fact, it's burning a hole in my pocket. I

Speaker 3 (31:31):
You know what I'm thinking?
Speaker 4 (31:33):
Is I have a Patreon I'm going to set up

Speaker 1 (31:39):
A Patreon where people send you money?
Speaker 5 (31:41):
No?
Speaker 4 (31:41):
No, I could donate with somebody if they have a
page to set up or something.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
Maybe eighteen nineteen hundred dollars.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
So you're just gonna be handing out money.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
Maybe three people, maybe to three people, just the.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Three people, so you'll end two grand.
Speaker 5 (31:56):
It is.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
It is almost Thanksgiving, you know. And your birth they
I didn't check one is your birthday? But maybe I
can send.
Speaker 4 (32:03):
You guys coffee, muggs, gift cards, you know, just to
show you decentselves, very very.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
Kind of Why didn't you come out and hang out
with me? Haes, I was in Minnesota. We did a
Malord meet and greet a few months back, but you
were not there.
Speaker 4 (32:16):
Hon Are you to be honest with you? I lost
thirty nine pounds. Because what happens is I don't eat
for about one hundred and fifty hours, which is about
twelve or thirteen days twice a month.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
So I didn't have any So you say you go
twelve or thirteen days without eating in a month, you
do that twice. There's only thirty days roughly in a month,
so that means out of thirty days in a month,
you only eat for six of them or.
Speaker 4 (32:46):
Seven sorry sorry, so two seven days in a row
twice a month, which is about one hundred and fifty hours.
Speaker 3 (32:54):
Pretty much. I just don't eat food, maybe a little
water and coffee.
Speaker 4 (32:58):
The reason being is it builds up cognitive and it.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
Makes you sharper.
Speaker 6 (33:03):
What does it build up?
Speaker 4 (33:05):
It builds your cognitive Uh, it makes you sharper.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
Well, it's hard to believe that me and Hayes have
something in common because I do that. Also, I don't
do a seven days Hayes, but I I'll go usually
a couple of days without.
Speaker 4 (33:19):
Even My Korean girlfriend likes it so much.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
She Wait a minute, you have a you have a
Korean girlfriend. This is a new update. I don't remember
you talking about that before. Man, Yeah, are we is

the wedding?
Speaker 3 (33:37):

Here we go. Well gume in is our one of
the Ben Maler Show podcast. We start out with a
rematch of the Super Bowl the Philadelphia Eagles the Kansas
City Chiefs. As this game turned around in the second half,
it went the way of Philadelphia. How much responsibility is
Travis Kelcey get for the Chiefs losing as he had
(00:23):
a big part in Kansas City losing that game? Also,
where does this loss leave Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs
as they go down again at Arrowhead Stadium? And does
this win cement the Eagles as the team to beat
in the NFL after Week eleven? Talk about all that
and more. Give it up here it is our number one,
(00:46):
a game for the Birds. Well come, in the beginning
of another edition of the Ben Malors Show.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
We are in the air everywhere belly as we navigate
this audio masquerade coast, Duck coast, border, the border and
beyond on the vast and unmeasurably powerful microphones of fsre
ammating live from a conclusion, a foe gone conclusion. We
(01:21):
are broadcasting live from the tyraq dot com studios.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Tyraq dot Com will help you get there. An unmatched selection, fast,
free shipping free road hazard protection at over ten thousand
recommended installers, tyraq dot com, The Waytire Buying chewb our
lead this hour, coming from the heartland of America. It's
(01:46):
a damp, cool night at Arrowhead Stadium, a rematch of
Super Bowl fifty seven played back in February in the
Valley of the Sun. Jalen Hurts and the Eagles, Hey
Gee l e as Eagles their roadshow visiting Patrick Mahomes
and the Chiefs. They made for TV matchup. Were you glued?
(02:09):
Were you locked in? Were you watching? Perhaps not now.
Jalen Hurts didn't play all that well, that's an unpopular opinion.
Did not play all that well, but he did run
for a pair of second half touchdowns and Philly rallies
back from a double digit deficit and they get to
twenty one to seventeen KO of KC. In that rematch,
(02:34):
the Chiefs shut out they got bupkus in the second half.
So the Eagles improved to nine and one as a
sexy record, they're the top team in the NFL through
ten games, and Cansa City dropping to seven and three,
and they are in a pile up as there are
a bunch of teams there behind behind the Ravens in
(02:58):
the AFC, but technically Kansas City's the number two seed
now behind Baltimore in the American Football Conference. So let
us discuss the question how much responsibility does Travis Kelcey.
That's right, Travis Kelcey get for the Chiefs losing. That
is where we are going to begin. So I've got microscope, Savannah, elephant,
(03:21):
and yokozuna, and we will combine all of these things
together and we are going to make a goose egg,
which is again what the Chiefs put up in the
second half. So to answer the question, how much responsibility
does Travis Kelcey get for the Chiefs going down in
this game, you start to shame and blame number eighty seven.
(03:46):
It is a complicated web we weave. Travis kelce had
seven catches in this game on nine targets for forty
four yards in a touchdown. So for the uneducated fan,
for the low information fan, he did fine. And you're
just being a hater. What's wrong with you? But when
you dig below the surface, it's a little bit below
(04:09):
the surface, you realize wasn't good enough. Travis Kelcey was
not good enough. No, why do I say that? Because
of incompetence. Sporadic incompetence. Now, Kelsey dropped a key third
down play in the fourth quarter. He did catch the
fourth down, but there shouldn't have been a fourth down.
(04:30):
He catches the third down play that changes that drive
and the biggest sin of them all right to confessional
Travis Kelcey. Early in the fourth quarter, the Chiefs matriculating
the ball down the field, and he coughs up the
football at the Eagles nine yard line, the Chiefs leading
(04:51):
by a field goal at the time, and he fumbles
in the red zone. At worst, Kansas City gets a
chip shot field goal. They go up by six, forcing
the Eagles to get a touchdown with a good Chiefs defense. Instead,
Travis Kelcey coughs up the fur ball. And you're supposed
to be the franchise player. Okay, you're supposed to be
(05:11):
the franchise player. And we in here talking about a fumble,
not a catch, not a catch, Not about a fumble.
Travis kelce put himself under a swifty sized microscope because
of his social activity. During the team's bye week, Travis
kelce traveled five thousand, five hundred miles to Argentina, which
(05:34):
is where Taylor Swift was beginning the next leg of
the Era's tour, and Kelsey was there smoochy, smoochy, lovey lovey,
having a fine time. He was Travis Kelcey, and that's fine.
But the way it works. I didn't make the rules,
but the way it works. Just like if Tony Romol
goes to Mexico on vacation, or the Giants back in
(05:58):
the day with Odell Beckham before the playoffs they go
on a boat in Florida. The rules are the rules.
Travis Kelcey decided to go to Argentina. He did it
for whatever reason, but he didn't play well enough. You
gotta win the game. You gotta make the catch. You
can't fumble. He cost him the game. He fumbled. It's
(06:22):
not him. Here's Travis Kelcey following this loss. So here
the question and the answer with Kelsey at his locker,
in the losing locker room, where the better story is,
let's go to the audio tape diagnosis. What's going on
with the offense.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Otherwise I gotta be better, just not playing out to
the level that I have in the past.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
I gotta be better, and he's just the Eagles did
in the second half for sort of.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Disrupts now turnovers, turnovers and and penalties on our half.
Speaker 5 (06:49):
I think it's nothing that.
Speaker 6 (06:50):
They did, Travis, three o us three games, no points
in the second half for you. I didn't find anything second,
just mentioned the turnovers in the second half of just mentioning.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
The the flags is all fixable. We just gotta do it, Travis.
Speaker 7 (07:02):
Feel like a partecutarly emotional game to you when you
play them, all right.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Who knows what he said after that, but Travis Kelcey,
that was an odd way to stop a sound bite,
by the way, But Travis Kelcey, I guess he's just
gotta shake it off, right, He's gotta shake it off,
all right? Anyway, turning the page, So where does this
loss leave Patrick mahoney and the Chiefs? Where does it
leave Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs? So it leaves them
(07:27):
licking their wounds. It's not a mortal defeat. You're not eliminated.
It's not like they gave a trophy and had a
parade for the Eagles. You wouldn't know that the way
the Birds fans were celebrating after the game. But even
though Kelsey gets a ton of blame for his South
American excursion, Patrick Mahomes tossed an interception in the end zone.
(07:49):
That is taboo. You can't that's tab bio. That's what
Zach Wilson does. That's not what you do. He's always
been able to get the most out of his guys,
Patrick wils Right now, it's not exactly working out that way.
Andy Reid can scheme up anybody. Also, right the front office,
what did the Chiefs decide to do yet again this offseason?
(08:11):
They won the Super Bowl, so they say, no, what
we're gonna punt. We're not gonna go out and make
a move for a top notch wide receiver. We're not
doing that. No, we're not gonna acquire a big name receiver.
Not gonna have it. Then again at the trade deadline,
they said, nah, no, we're not gonna do that. They
didn't get a huge headline receiver and so they still
(08:33):
have not been able to fill the void by Tyreek goll. Yeah,
but they won the Super Bowl. I get that. But
on a week to week basis, they're continuing to bet
that the guys on their team are going to step up.
That's what they're betting on. And so far the wide
receiving corps in Kansas City has the dexterity of a
Savannah elephant on a high wire. There are a bunch
(08:55):
of klutzes. What's my evidence? How about Justin Watson who
dropped a pass that would have extended on a fourth
down and twenty five he would have had a first
down extended to drive in the final minute and fred
X type catch from back in the day. He didn't
do it. And the biggest, the biggest criminal of them all,
(09:16):
Marquez Valdez Scantling. Wow, what a turn burger. Marquez Valdez
Scantling legitimately had a game winning touchdown right in his hands.
Perfect throw by Maholmes. You're a professional wide receiver. You've
beaten the defender and he stumbled and dropped the ball.
(09:38):
Now I realize there's a long winding road in the NFL.
I get that, and I'm here for the long riinding
road every week. But the early precincts reporting in the
vote totals and they are calling for a recall among
the Kansas City wideouts. The Chiefs have scored in NFL
(09:58):
worth fifty three p points in the second half. That
is actually worse than everyone else Carolina that doesn't know
how to play professional football, the Arizona Cardinals, who blow
everybody fifty three points in the second half. Nothing has
changed more in my lifetime than halftime adjustments, and there
are none in Kansas City that equates, if you do
(10:19):
the malor math, just over five points per game in
the second half all season. We're not in Week two
or Week four or week six. We are now done.
As the curtain comes down on Week eleven in the NFL.
All right, last word, does this win? We'll go to
the winning locker room. Does this victory cement the Eagles
(10:42):
as the team to beat in the NFL? So you
can't see, but I'm nodding my head. Yes, Now, this
is not Secretariat running away, and you know up by
thirty lanks, that's not it at all. Nothing has yet
been decided. But we do the show today. You are
what your record say you are. And in this particular moment,
(11:03):
the Philadelphia Eagles, by way of a nine to one record,
are clearly the top team. Right they're the number one team.
But it's not like they have this invincibility about them,
and maybe I'm wrong on that. I don't know. I
just do the overnight show around here. But I don't
get the sins that you go into a matchup with
(11:24):
your favorite team, whoever the top team you have, whether
you're the Niners now that they got their guys back
with the great System, quarterback brock Perty the Detroit Lions
on any given Sunday, the Baltimore Ravens a rematch with
Kansas City. You look at any of these top teams
and you're like, would you be stunned if the Eagles
(11:44):
were to lose? I would not. Now the one sweet
spot for Philadelphia, where they are several galaxies ahead of
everyone else in the NFL, they have the single most
unstoppable play that was on display in this Monday night game.
The tush push is golden, the tush ay pushy and
(12:09):
Jalen Hurtz is the Yokozuna of the tush push. And
you think of the most unstoppable plays, so many of
them are basketball. Kareem abdul Jabbar skyhook, the Jordan fadeaway,
the dream shake from Akeim Elijah on Dirk Novizky's one
legged leaner, all those type of plays, and this play,
that is the secretariat play. That's where Jalen Hurts is
(12:32):
the maestro. And you look at all the other numbers,
Jalen Hurts not that impressive, but that tush push. If
they just get within one yard, third and one fourth
and one, they convert ninety eight percent of the time.
It's insane. They are thirty three lengths ahead of everyone else.
And the forty nine Ers and Lions are still bird
dogging in the NFC. And the Lions have a game
(12:54):
they should win on Thanksgiving. The Eagles will have a
letdown game against Buffalo after they won their give the
season super Bowl over Kansas City. So things can come
at you pretty fast in the NFL next weekend. But
for now, in the moment, Philadelphia nine to one. They're
the top team in the NFC, and they are in
the driver's seat for lost wages. Nevada and that is
(13:16):
the site of the February Super Bowl in the Nevada Desert.

Speaker 1 (15:30):
Talking about that big Monday night game that goes the
way of the road team. The Eagles get to nine
and one as they take down the Chiefs on a
wet night at Arrowhead Stadium. Freddie Wrightsin says Travis Kelce
was not in the stadium there, he was thinking of
his boo Taylor Swift. Brian says, a Chiefs choke job
(15:51):
at home, gifting that win to Philadelphia. So he says,
super Marcus Steve says, what is it with teams not
wanting to run the ball? Kansas City was running the
ball for eight yards a clip, and they still threw
the ball forty five times. Well, super Marcus Steve, I
don't know if you've been paying attention to last I
don't know twenty years. It's twenty years, super Marcus Steve.
(16:13):
The way the modern game of football is played, it's
not the nineteen eighties, of the nineteen nineties, or even
the early two thousands. No, that's just the way it goes.
But the Eagles, this one, I was talking about the
better story in the losing locker room howl. You win,
everyone kissing your ass. The Philadelphia Eagles on offense had
two hundred and thirty eight total yards of offense. We're
(16:33):
terrible on third down. We're three of eleven on third down.
You look at Jalen Hurd's passing numbers, they were nothing spectacular.
He had one hundred and fifty yards passing, he was
sacked five times, he threw an interception. But yet because
the Eagles won, because Philadelphia won the games, it's smoochy,
(16:55):
smoochy smoochy, we love you, we love you, You're the
greatest and all that. The running totals for the Chiefs
they ran the ball thirty times for one hundred and
sixty eight yards, so they were very efficient. But they
did not did not score in the second half of
(17:17):
the game, and they did give the football away early
and off in two backbreaking interceptions, one in the end zone,
the Travis Kelcey interception and then the Travis kell the
Patrick ma Holmes interception. The Travis kelce fumble inside the
ten yard line. That was the other play. You're like,
(17:38):
whoa wait a minute here, what was that? My goodness,
my goodness. Now meanwhile, we'll take some calls here in
a minute. But there's a lot of buzz that Travis Kelcey.
This is gonna be his final year with the Chiefs.
Oh yeah, final year with the chief Did you see this? No? Yeah,
(17:59):
So he did an interview with the Wall Street Journal.
When I want my sports news, I go to the
Wall Street Journal. That is where I go. When I
want my politics and I want my Wall Street news.
I don't go to the Wall Street Journal. I go
I go to like, you know, Fox Sports. But anyway,
this guy from the Wall Street Journal interviewed Travis Kelsey
(18:20):
and he said that he is pondering retirement. Why would
you even ponder retirement? He said? When I asked about that,
he said, more than anyone could ever imagine. Travis Kelsey
stated about retiring. But let me ask you this. If
(18:41):
Travis Kelce is a former NFL player, does he get
to date Taylor Swift? You know what I'm saying. If
he's some washed up former jock, does that have the
same wow factor to someone like Taylor Swift? You know
what I mean? Like, once you retire, you're just another
retired athlete. There's a dime a dozen. But when you're
(19:02):
the man in the arena, when you're playing, you get
all the perks where the rock stars want to date
you and all that stuff. But you don't get that
if you're a former player. And sure he'll have opportunities
in media and things like that where he can make
a fair amount of money, but it's not the same.
It is absolutely not the same. Now you think he's
(19:23):
closer to the end than he is the beginning. We
know that he's had a bunch of operations and whatnot,
but he's thirty four years old. We've seen tight ends
play till they're almost forty, so he's probably got another
at least three years left to play, should he want to.
But I'll tell you what right now, just between me
(19:44):
and you, if he said I'm retiring from the NFL.
A minute later, Taylor Swift dumps him, says, I'm done
with you. I don't want to date you anymore. You're
not attractive to me. You're a former athlete. I want
a current athlete. I'm going to I'm going to dump you,
and I'm gonna find another tight end that I would
like to date, but not your tight end. No longer
(20:08):
need you. I'm just going to move on, So get
out of here.
Speaker 6 (20:11):
All right.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Let's go to the phones and we'll say hello to
Eenie Meenie Mini Mall. Let's say hello to Andre, who
is in the Commonwealth. Hello, Andre, what's going on?
Speaker 5 (20:26):
Ben? It's good to be with you. Listen, we're gonna
start off the Iggles. There's no they're not They're not
going to leave this mountaintop anytime soon. I heard you
say that they're gonna have a tough match against the
have a tough match against the Bills and uh. And
then possibly after that, you know they're gonna kind of
(20:46):
slowly but surely regress back.
Speaker 8 (20:49):
To the need.
Speaker 5 (20:50):
No, no, no, we have to remember last year's Super
Bowl Sunday, the Eiggles were robbed, okay, based on that
TICKI tat call at the end of the game that
essentially gave the Chiefs a Super Bowl quite egregious. Uh,
just for all the millions of people watching. Myself, I'm
a referee, Okay, you go after the elephant's been, you
(21:11):
leave the fields mice alone. So that shouldn't have been.
That was ridiculous, is what it was. And we should
have let the two teams decide it, possibly going into overtime,
and then you know, the Chiefs might have got come
out on top. But the Eagles and really sports fans
everywhere were deprived of that ending.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Una tell you, I don't feel deprived. I don't. I
don't feel the sense of that I missed something. I
don't feel that.
Speaker 5 (21:38):
Way because one technicality, you know, in that pass and
affairs essentially gave the Chiefs the game. The game allowed
them to wind down the clock till at two seconds.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Know andre as an official, that much of officiating is subjective.
And that's part of the problem with the officiating world,
that what is a penalty to one person is not
a penalty to another person. Thus, you have the NFL
right where you could conceivably call a penalty on every
(22:09):
play if you wanted to. But why do you let
some things get away and not call penalties right and
then other other times you will call a penalty. There's
no rhyme or reason to it.
Speaker 5 (22:19):
Ben Ben Ben. There's good radio shows like the Ben
Mallor shows, okay, and then there's people out there, you know,
just doing what they can and it doesn't resonate and
it doesn't connect, and it's no good. You have good
police officers, you know, you don't get somebody a take
it for fifty eight miles an hour and a fifty
five you let that go, all right, And the same
thing is true and officiating. So I get yeah, s
(22:41):
objective and there're you know, no, there's there's objective. There's objectivity. Okay,
that was fifty seven and a fifty five. It should
have been let go. Okay, everybody knows that. I don't
care how you want to go as it over.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
It was preposterous now, but that's not you're you're you're
going back to last year. We live, Andrea, I live
in the moment, live in the past. I'm not a historian.
I live in the mallment and in the moment. I
look at the Eagles nine to one, great record, right,
everyone's all gung houl and the Eagles, and they got
a good club. I saw him in person. I saw
them play the Rams in person, and they came back
(23:14):
and dominated the second half of that game. So that
was impressive. But this is also the same Eagle team that,
if I'm not mistaken, struggled with the Washington Commanders a
couple of times this year in the division. Lost to
the Jets. All right, So I mean, how I mean
you lose to the Jets, How impressive are that is
(23:38):
a tough one to get passed. You lost to the Jets,
barely beat the Patriots in Week one, so it's not
like they're not a juggernaut.
Speaker 5 (23:46):
They're not a juggernaut, Ben. And in conclusion, you got
the San Francisco forty nine ers out there lurking. All
I'm saying is I don't see this Eagles team taking
their foot off the gas based on how they were
cheated last year. I know for them, they got the
Rocky music play in the background, Rocky one. We're not
doing Rocky seven or eight. We're doing Rocky Run.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
No listen. Here's the thing, though, Andre, you look at
the upcoming schedule. So they beat the Chiefs. This was
a game after the bye week, everyone circled Eagles Chiefs.
Now you've got the dreaded Sandwich game with Buffalo coming
up in week twelve. Because the next big game for
the Eagles is the forty nine Ers game in Philly.
That's in week thirteen. So you got to get through Buffalo.
(24:25):
That's a classic letdown spot.
Speaker 5 (24:28):
Indeed, But Buffalo, they don't know who they are. Bet
but Buffalo is up one week beaten the breaks off
of the Jets and Jack Wilson beats Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Yeah, okay, that's true. But you lost to the Jets
the Eagles, and you you struggled with the Commanders. All right,
Well leave it there, Andre, but thanks for checking in.
We appreciate the great Andrea in the Commonwealth.
Speaker 8 (24:49):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meler
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 6 (24:55):
Back to news from the NFL and quarterback news. The Jets.
Of course, they benched Zach Wilson on Sunday, and they
have announced that Wilson will now be the number three
quarterback on the roster. Tim Boyle will start against the
Dolphins on Friday, Trevor sim Me in the back, but
then Wilson the number three. All of them apparently will
(25:15):
be active for that game against Miami.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
That's a huge game at it's Black Friday. Yes, And
how many products they are going to shove down our
throats to buy during that Jets Dolphins game? And I'm
not going to buy a single thing they advertise on
that game. How about missus Maller though she will not
be watching, so we will not be watching, or I
would be watching, She will not be buying anything, and
neither will I. Not that I would dare. I don't
(25:43):
want to. I'd spad enough. You know I love advertising,
But I'm watching an NFL game. I don't need. What
are they going to have like the second quarter? We
have a flash sale. There's a flash sale right now
on pop up beach chairs. You can get pop up
beach chairs right now, and blah blah blah blah blah.
Go to this website all that stuff. So no, I'm good.
Now the tabloids having a field day because Jason Kelsey,
(26:03):
that's the other Kelsey. Jason Kelsey's wife did not sit
in the Travis Kelsey suite, did not sit with the
other you know women there, the other wives and girlfriends
and whatnot. The Kelsey sweet there that's the epicenter. That's
where all the tabloid media have their cameras during Chiefs games.
Now the Travis Kelsey suite. But Jason Kelsey's wife did
(26:26):
not sit there. And she said, I'm I'm a stands girl,
is what she said. That's a shot. That is a
shot at all these like pack, that's a shot at
Pat mahomes wife. That's a shot. That's right, that's a stand.
Take that you other women, you know, you elitists that
(26:48):
sit in your little luxury box.
Speaker 6 (26:49):
Now one of those skilled position people. It was a
real salt of the earth type of player and woman.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
Kylie Kelsey is is her name. And she said, I'm
sitting in the stands cheering with the fans, even if
it's in an opposing team stadium. She said, there you go.
She likes she said she liked the environment there, so
I guess she doesn't want to hide out where they
have the private bathroom and they have the refrigerator and
the dessert cart and all that.
Speaker 6 (27:19):
That's what you would do if you were if you
were married to an NFL player.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
That would be awkward. If I was married to an
NFL player, Eddie, I think that would be that would
be uh.
Speaker 6 (27:29):
But you would you would sit in the you would
sit in the luxury box. Now that's you.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
I don't know, that's me. Why why would you say that?
Speaker 4 (27:37):
Why?
Speaker 6 (27:37):
Well, because when you go to games, you always sit
up in the press box.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Well, I'm a member, I'm a you know, I'm a
reporter covering the game. I'm doing the heavy lifting. You know.
Do I eat the mini slider or do I eat
the hot dog? It's very hard declusion to make. Do
I eat the garlic tater tots? I don't know. These
are tough decisions to make it, but somebody has to
make them. And I'm doing it for the listener. Okay,
(28:02):
I'm doing it for the list and that's why I'm here.
Speaker 6 (28:04):
By the way, I was alerted in the King's press
box that the meals are once again free down in
the press room.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
You know, that was the big talk at at SOFAR.
I was talking to the great Steve Futterman, veteran reporters
working for the CBC. He got fired from his radio
Jaz work at the CBC. Oh Canada, Yeah, great Canadian
reporter Steve Futterman. And he was telling me, He's like, yeah,
you got to get back out there. Free food. I'm like, oh, okay,
(28:32):
maybe I'll get back out there.
Speaker 6 (28:33):
Yeah. I went. I was told, hey, you need to
go check this out. It's free again.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
I'm like, really, yummy.
Speaker 6 (28:40):
I went down there and they have like a guy
who's monitoring. Yeah, there's a guy that monitors. He's got
a list. So I walked down there. I'm like, hey,
am I on the list? And then he just looked
at my credential to see my name, didn't even ask
my name. His pages, you know, splip through the pages
and he's like, yeah, crossed my name off them on
the list.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Wow. So is it like a boxed meal or is
there actually a legitimate meal there.
Speaker 6 (29:06):
You can put it in a box if you want,
but no, it's.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Uh, what did you eat the other night? The media freeloader?
You ate fatas did you have ice cream.
Speaker 6 (29:14):
I did not have ice cream.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Did they have an ice cream machine? They did, they did,
but you did not. Why did you not go for
the ice cream?
Speaker 6 (29:20):
Well, I didn't want to. I didn't want to hang
out there in the press room. I wanted to go
up up.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
That's where all the gossip is. Man, That's why I
hear all the dirt.
Speaker 6 (29:27):
Ye, that's your hill, tell me stuff.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
People just by being there, they come up to me, said,

Speaker 6 (29:33):
You know how they know that you're a you know,
a muckety mucking like that kind of world. I'm just
I'm just a humpy.

Oh see that, Eddie, I'm a good looking man. I'm

Speaker 4 (31:19):
In fact, it's burning a hole in my pocket. I

Speaker 1 (31:26):
I'd be very kind of you. Now, what is your
plan here to share the sugar?
Speaker 3 (31:31):
You know what I'm thinking?
Speaker 4 (31:33):
Is I have a Patreon I'm going to set up
or some I mean, is it.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
A Patreon where people send you money?
Speaker 5 (31:41):
No?
Speaker 4 (31:41):
No, I could donate with somebody if they have a
page to set up or something.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
Maybe eighteen nineteen hundred dollars.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
So you're just gonna be handing out money.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
Maybe three people, maybe to three people, just the.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Three people, so you'll end two grand.
Speaker 5 (31:56):
It is.
Speaker 3 (31:57):

Speaker 4 (32:03):
You guys coffee, muggs, gift cards, you know, just to
show you decentselves, very very.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
Kind of Why didn't you come out and hang out
with me? Haes, I was in Minnesota. We did a
Malord meet and greet a few months back, but you
were not there.
Speaker 4 (32:16):
Hon Are you to be honest with you? I lost
thirty nine pounds. Because what happens is I don't eat
for about one hundred and fifty hours, which is about
twelve or thirteen days twice a month.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
So I didn't have any So you say you go
twelve or thirteen days without eating in a month, you
do that twice. There's only thirty days roughly in a month,
so that means out of thirty days in a month,
you only eat for six of them or.
Speaker 4 (32:46):
Seven sorry sorry, so two seven days in a row
twice a month, which is about one hundred and fifty hours.
Speaker 3 (32:54):
Pretty much. I just don't eat food, maybe a little
water and coffee.
Speaker 4 (32:58):
The reason being is it builds up cognitive and it.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
Makes you sharper.
Speaker 6 (33:03):
What does it build up?
Speaker 4 (33:05):
It builds your cognitive Uh, it makes you sharper.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
Well, it's hard to believe that me and Hayes have
something in common because I do that. Also, I don't
do a seven days Hayes, but I I'll go usually
a couple of days without.
Speaker 4 (33:19):
Even My Korean girlfriend likes it so much.
Speaker 1 (33:23):

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
