Touchdown, Well is it a touchdown? Not for Kansas City?
They end up losing. It's our number two. What happened
to Andy Reid's chiefs in Jacksonville as they are on
the wrong side of the scoreboard on a full moon
kind of a night? Also, does this count as a
signature win for Trevor? Lawrence and the Jags? Will discuss

(00:22):
that is it time to take the Jaguars? Seriously? Yeah,
we'll go there as well. All of that and more
settle in. It's our number two. It must be because
of the full moon.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
That has to be it welcome In the beginning of

baseball last hour. We now go our lead this hour
from the River City and that's where we had Jacksonville

(02:13):
in a full moon. That was the stage the final
act of Week number five, Week number five of the
NFL season, and you had Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs
traveling bandwagon fit for a pop star into du All
Cody just like that, there a little playdate with the Jaguars.

(02:35):
And you only see the Jags on national TV one time,
normally a regional broadcast.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
But here they were Monday night football Island game. Were
you watching? BA and me were watching the baseball game.
I was slipping back and forth. I was I was
flipping back and forth.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
I watched the majority of this one. And a good
thing about football a lot of timeouts, so you can
go back and forth and have a field day. So
if you did not watch Trep. Lawrence who tripped, he
fell to the ground, he stumbled, he tripped over his
own line, and he got up and he got on
his feet and nobody touched him. From Kansas City, a

(03:12):
defensive boo boo and scrambling one yard touchdown with twenty
three seconds remaining, the kill shot for the Jaguars, as
it was a comedic pratfall which ended up in an
improbable touchdown and Jacksonville beats Kansas City thirty one, twenty

(03:35):
eight on a Monday night, as Trevor Lawrence was serenaded,
serenaded by his teammates there his birthday, twenty sixth birthday
for Trevor Lawrence there and good news is he doesn't
need anything because he's really filthy rich, so he don't
need to buy him anything. He's so loaded he can
buy whatever he wants. Yes, anyway, the ridiculous wacky ending

(03:59):
there as Kansas City has scored to take the lead,
went up by four, so Jacksonville had to get a touchdown.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
The Jaguars eight and one.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
Now they snap an eight game losing streak to Kansas City.
They also matched their win to how pathetic were they
last year? Where they've matched their win total at four
from all of last season. And the Chiefs the better
story here in the losing locker room, the Chiefs dropped
back under five hundred. I thought the Chiefs had arrived.

(04:30):
You told me they had arrived. They beat Baltimore. They
had arrived.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
Apparently not, that's wrong.

Speaker 1 (04:37):
Well, the better story is there, so let's go into
it and let's hear from some of the key participants.

Speaker 2 (04:43):
Will start out with Andy Reid.

Speaker 1 (04:45):
Now, one of the big storylines here was the mistakes
for the Chiefs and they had they led the world
and penalties in this game, the referees calling the penalty.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
Here, there, and everywhere.

Speaker 1 (04:59):
Here is a Indy Reid talking about that particular issue.

Speaker 4 (05:03):
Thirteen penalties to Therefore, whether I agree with them or
don't agree with them, it doesn't matter. They called them.
And so you have that many penalties, you give a
field position, you get outstat him to death. But it
doesn't matter. It's a score that matters. And we've got
to take our business there.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
Andy always sounds like he needs a throat lozenge he
and Doc Rivers always sounds like he's got he needs
some barlic or something like that. Anyway, all right, so question,
let's discuss the question what happened? What happened to Andy
Reid's cams City chiefs there in Jacksonville. So I've got
waffle house, confetti, and submarine and we'll combine all of

(05:45):
these things together and we are gonna make your Babushka's
favorite gummy candy.

Speaker 2 (05:50):
Is what we're going to make, all right.

Speaker 1 (05:51):
So number one, I said, number number What?

Speaker 2 (05:56):
What?

Speaker 5 (05:56):
What?

Speaker 6 (05:58):
Right?

Speaker 2 (05:58):
All right? All right?

Speaker 1 (05:59):
So here's what I saw on my TV, which is
not I don't have like the biggest TV in the world.
I got a regular sized television of a giant TV.
So I saw Kansas City walk into Duval County and
get hit in the face with a frying pan. Andy
Reid mentioned they won the stats.

Speaker 2 (06:19):
They did. They won the stats.

Speaker 1 (06:20):
So if you're just a low information fan and you
worship stats and you're a fantasy football dope, oh.

Speaker 2 (06:25):
They won the stats.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
Everything's fine. Yeah, Remember what is the mantra? We have
a couple of mantras on this show because we've done
this a long time. Most games are lost, they're not won,
and the better story is losing the locker room. This
game checks both those boxes, both those boxes. This was
a waffle House special for Kansas City. They stacked up mistakes,

(06:48):
they were smothered in penalties, and they had a side
of brain farts, which I don't I think that's an
add on item at waffle house. I don't think that's
out on the actual menu. I think that's the secret menu.
You can order brain farts. You got to go there
like a two thirty three in the morning, though, to
get the full brain fart experience when you go to
the waffle house. But listen, the Chiefs cooked themselves.

Speaker 2 (07:07):
Andy Reid mentioned it. Thirteen penalties one hundred and nine yards,
and they even at one point late in the game,
not that it mattered, but they called back to back timeouts,
which even I know didn't play in the NFL. But
even out, you can't call back to back timeouts. You
cannot do it. He did it. Oh my god, you
can't do it on Madden.

Speaker 1 (07:23):
You can't do it in the real NFL. So Andy
Reid's group, you know what it looked like. It looked
like they were making a YouTube video on how to
implode and lose an NFL game, Things to do to
lose an NFL game, made by those influencers in Kansas City,
including and you're not supposed to say this because Mahomes

(07:45):
is great, but he left way too much time on
the clock. They were so arrogant that the Chiefs assumed
the position that, hey, we're so good defensively that we
don't have to worry about limiting the time left for
Jacksonville gets the ball. So the Chiefs did score the
go ahead touchdown with one forty five to go in

(08:06):
the game, and then they fed up the kickoff, which
we've seen a couple of times here in Week five,
we saw it, and whether they have the fugazy kicking
rule where it's got to be in the right zone.
If it's not in the right zone, if it goes
out of bounds, the ball goes to the forty yard line.
So the Jags took over at their own forty yard line. Now,
they didn't need a field goal, so it's not like that,

(08:27):
but they still it gave them some wiggle room and
they took advantage of which is all of this is
totally unchief like. It's unchief like to play that way.
We've not seen that in this era. And the team
that has been the model franchise in this particular run
of big game performance and composure. They don't win them all,

(08:49):
but they're normally not going to beat themselves. And it's
been what six years more than that, I think now,
and here they are in this game looking like they're
the Cleveland Brown tripping over their own shoelaces and just
a hot mess. And then you had that ninety nine
yard ninety nine yard return pick six from linebacker Devin

(09:12):
Lloyd of Jacksonville.

Speaker 2 (09:14):
Ninety nine yards.

Speaker 1 (09:15):
He should have run back to the end zones to
make it a full one hundred yards, but that's the
kind of play that you see people, Wow, it's a
rookie mistake. Well, Mahomes not a rookie obviously, right, Mahomes
did the thing you can't do at the time, you
can't do it.

Speaker 2 (09:29):
He made the big mistake there.

Speaker 1 (09:31):
And here's Mahomes by the way, pointing out Patrick Mahomes
that there were a lot of self inflicted wounds.

Speaker 2 (09:38):
Take a list.

Speaker 7 (09:38):
I mean, it kind of just talks about our whole
entire season. I mean, I feel like we have the
guys and we've executed at certain points of game and
looked really good and then we kind of would crush
ourselves with penalties and mistakes and interceptions and fumbles or
whatever that is. I mean, it's just we've kind of
done that to ourselves all year long. It's kind of
been one guy here there, and in this league get

(10:00):
so close that those those change games, and so we
got to be better, you know, we we've lost Chimney
games already.

Speaker 1 (10:07):
Yes, well, good luck. So the Chiefs back under five
hundred here. That was a kick to the foot balls
by Jacksonville, the Kansas City. The Chiefs strutted in. They assumed,
like everyone else that plays Jacksonville. Look, it's like a
community pool. You come here, you can look at the pool,
and then you win the football game. And they were like, hey,
we're rock stars, man, you know we are Taylor Swift's

(10:28):
favorite team.

Speaker 2 (10:29):
We are.

Speaker 1 (10:30):
And they end up leaving doing the walk of shame
right down Broad Street there with their tails between their legs,
and the Chiefs as they lose. Mahomes did have the
Gautti stat line the three hundred and seventy eight total
yards running and passing, two touchdowns running and passing combined,
and a l So the Dorks will be happy because
Mahomes had a big stat game. The Chiefs are two

(10:52):
to zero against Tomato Cans. The Giants and Ravens are
a combined two and eight. That's a two hundred winning percentage. Meanwhile,
the Chiefs are zero and three against the Chargers, Eagles,
and Jaguars, who are a combined eleven and four. So
that tells you a lot, not everything, but it tells
you a lot. Here, past results, we know do not
guarantee future outcomes. We're all aware of that. And Kansas

(11:14):
City had the Big Three. They were let's see, the
Big three. They were sloppy, they were unfocused, and they
were undisciplined.

Speaker 2 (11:23):
So those are the Big three.

Speaker 1 (11:24):
Congratulations and you could see we heard from Andy Reid.
But you could see Andy Reid like kind of his
mustache was twitching a little bit. Either he wanted some
chicken alfredo or he was very upset. I'm not sure which,
but I'm going disgusted. But he might have wanted chicken
alfredo also and been disgusted.

Speaker 2 (11:41):
And so the Andy.

Speaker 1 (11:42):
Reid is always detail oriented, right, That's one of the
great Hall of Fame traits of Andy Reid. And it's
all about the little things, as coaches like to say,
but instead look like a bunch of guys on a bender,
just like they were there in Jacksonville for the weekend, just.

Speaker 2 (11:55):
Having a great old time. Elsewhere he had.

Speaker 1 (11:57):
Travis Kelcey had seven catches for sixty one yards and
a touchdown, which is good but not great. And my
advice to Kelsey is he better run off to an
Elvis chapel asap, get married as fast as possible, do
not wait for the royal wedding, because Taylor Swift is
going to realize, wait a minute, this team's a loser.
My husband plays for losers, my future husband, so I

(12:20):
don't want to be associated with losers. So you better
get married quick, Travis, because is not going well for
the Chiefs right now. And if the Chiefs keep this up,
I don't think they will. But if they do keep
it up, and she's going to be writing her next
album will be a breakup song and it'll be like
Flags and Fumbles and she'll be rifting on that. Well,
maybe the Chiefs are so busy. They were like they

(12:41):
were trying to listen in their helmets to the new
Taylor Swift album and that's why they were unable to
play all right now? Page two? Does this count? Big
headlines all over the interweb? Does this count as a
signature win for Trevor.

Speaker 2 (12:55):
Lawrence and the Jaguars?

Speaker 1 (12:58):
So on this one, I know that the clown College
of Sportscasting, there's a sports writer clown college.

Speaker 2 (13:05):
There's certain narratives that you just have to go with,
and this is one of them. But I rolled my.

Speaker 1 (13:10):
Eyes when I saw that, And yeah, you want to
just break out the confetti cannons, you know, fire the countingons,
get the confetti cannons ready to go for Trevor Lawrence.

Speaker 2 (13:21):
You can do that if you want.

Speaker 1 (13:22):
However, I believe the word for that is premature capital P.
Premature capital P. And here's why again, we laid it out.
Kansas City was so sloppy. They handed the game to Jacksonville,
and Jacksonville took it on the island game, they took it. Congratulations,
But stop me if you've heard this before, Trevor Lawrence,

(13:43):
maybe my TV was different than your TV and the
other people's TVs. I thought Trevor Lawrence played fine. I
thought he was fine Trevor Lawrence as a player. It's
not like he parted the Red Sea or the Saint
John's River. There in Jacksonville was more about the Chiefs
collapse than it was some kind of public coronation of

(14:05):
the Jaguars. Treyl Lawrence had a me performance then, two
hundred and twenty one yards passing. That's kind of where
he's normally at, somewhere between one eighty and two twenty.
And he had his usual two turnovers, a horrific fumble interception,
so he checked those boxes, and he on the signature
play of the game, he was at klutz, so he

(14:27):
fell down, he got stepped on, he fell down, and
then because the Chiefs decided they wanted to kind of
relax a little bit, they didn't want to hustle, so
they allowed the quarterback with the ball to Sanchez into
the end zone.

Speaker 2 (14:41):
So let's not act like this is Joe Montana finding
Dwight Clark in the back of the end zone against
the Cowboys, that signature moment that ignited the career of
Joe Montana. No, that was the most whoopsie Daisy, what happened? Oh, Mike,
I guess I scored a touchdown moment We've seen long time.

(15:01):
He tripped.

Speaker 1 (15:03):
He tripped, And there is a dimension in the multiverse
where Trevor Lawrence trip does not score a touchdown, Jacksonville
does not win, and we are having a much different conversation.

Speaker 2 (15:14):
You and I right now. But Lawrence is one of
the one of these guys. He's been a pretty big
bust in his NFL career, and yet it's like he's
got his own visitor and like the.

Speaker 1 (15:26):
Convention and visitor authority of Trevor Lawrence. So you can't
say that you just keep pumping the tires on Trevor Lawrence.
He's so good. Come on, if that's your signature moment,
tripping and scoring a touchdown, you likely need to go
back to the to the creative writing room and come
up with something else there you need to aim higher.

Speaker 2 (15:47):
All right, final point, follow up.

Speaker 1 (15:49):
To what we've been discussing here. Follow up to what
we've been discussing. So Jacksonville has a good record. In fact,
you look at your NFL standings, and I know you
love your NFL stand Oh, I can't get enough of
those NFL stand Boy, They're great, aren't the standings?

Speaker 8 (16:03):
Right?

Speaker 1 (16:03):
So you look at the standings for Jacksonville, and now
if you look at your big board, not a list,
big board, Jacksonville is the number five seed in the
American Football Conference, so they would play in that five
to four game. It's way too early for all that.
But they're a playoff team and they're off to the
four and one start on the year, and the people
are saying, well, they've arrived, So is it time to

(16:26):
take the Jags seriously? Beat Kansas City primetime game. So
I would say, I'm gonna channel our favorite crossing guard.

Speaker 2 (16:35):
From Fort Wayne, and I'm.

Speaker 1 (16:37):
Gonna put the stop sign up, is what I'm gonna do.
Daniel from Fort WAYN I'm yeah, I'm putting the stop
sign up. Because here's why they're not there. I don't
see it right, and I need to see way more,
way more before I'm going to start carving the faces

(16:58):
of Trevor Lawrence and the head coach Liam Cohne into
AFC Mount Rushmore. I'm not quite there yet. The wins
are against the Niners and Kansas City. Those are the
two big wins for Jacksonville. Those are billboard wins. So
I guess they'll buy a billboard on nine ninety five
and put that up. Congratulations. Not impressed, I'm not as

(17:21):
why are you not in press word?

Speaker 2 (17:23):
You just being a douchebag.

Speaker 1 (17:24):
That explain because in this game it was more about
Jacksonville being the beneficiary of the benefactor, which was Trevor
Lawrence his opponent there, Mahomes and Travis Kelcey and Andy
Reid here. That's not arriving when someone just hands you
the game. Now you took it. That's like somebody finding
a lottery ticket on the street and then you scratch

(17:45):
it off.

Speaker 2 (17:45):
With your like a quarter or something like that. You won, well, congratulates,
but you didn't buy the lottery. You found it. And
so again, just don't be a prisoner of the moment here.

Speaker 1 (17:55):
Relax, as Aaron Rodgers famous, he said, and Jacksonville. He
all told me, and I did have Jacksonville in the
game Monday night, so I was happy. If you watched
Benny versus depending on YouTube, what you should watch every week,
make that part of your routine. I had Jacksonville. Was
very happy that they won the bet. I didn't think
they would actually win the game. The other factor here, though,
is when you handicap the game. The big selling point

(18:16):
for Jacksonville is they have a top ten defense in
most of the key categories. They were top ten, top
five defensively, and that we thought was going to be
the calling card for Jacksonville.

Speaker 2 (18:27):
However, they gave up.

Speaker 1 (18:28):
Let me check my notes here four hundred and seventy
six yards that Kansas City looked like a submarine, but
they were the screen door on the submarine trying to
keep the water out and they were at the bottom
of the Atlantic Ocean.

Speaker 2 (18:42):
It did not go well.

Speaker 1 (18:43):
And so if the Chiefs and Jaguars meet again in
January in a playoff game, are you gonna bet on
Kansas City or are you gonna bet on Jacksonville. You're
gonna bet on Kansas City. Every time in context obviously
plays a factor in the you're talking about October football.
You're not talking about a playoff test or anything like that.

(19:04):
And Jacksonville they play Seattle next, that's.

Speaker 2 (19:07):
In Duvall County. Then they play one of those international
games across the Atlantic against the Elia Rams.

Speaker 1 (19:13):
So that's who they have up next. And those are
two games that are fifty to fifty games. You can
go either way where Jacksonville could win both. They can
go one and one lose bowl. I mean, those are
the legitimate similar teams to Jacksonville, the Seattle Seahawks and
the Rams. So we'll see, we'll see what happens here.
We'll watch the games. But the good news for the

(19:34):
jackson I will be Benny Brightside. The division they're in,
the AFC South is the kiddie pool of the NFL.
And I realize the Cults are playing very well right now.
They have the top record in the AFC. That's not
going to last. And the Jags is in Jacksonville and
Indianapolis can thumb wrestle for first place. And the Texans

(19:56):
are saying well about us, Well, I'm not too impressed.
They beat the Ravens and Hooper Rush, so we'll see
what they do when they play some real opponents here,
and then got the Tennessee Titans who are wearing the
Dunce cap in the corner of the room, sucking their
thumb and the sandbox waiting for teams to give them
games like the Arizona Cardinals. So Trevor Lawrence still the
poster boy in my world. Trevor Lawrence is still the

(20:17):
poster boy for getting paid on potential, not results.

Speaker 2 (20:21):
And we'll I'll give him this.

Speaker 1 (20:22):
At least they're somewhat entertaining Jacksonville with like Trevor Lawrence
is kind of a dopey got the long hair thing.

Speaker 2 (20:29):
You got the.

Speaker 1 (20:30):
Nerdy coach who doesn't seem like he's the leader of men,
but yet he's coaching an NFL team.

Baseball playoffs, got the Monday night game as.

Speaker 2 (23:08):
Well, And let's see what do we have here?

Speaker 1 (23:10):
Sheen In de Moines says digital space monkey is number one,
the number one monkey number. But he's a digital monkey,
so I'm not real like you're not gonna I don't know.
I don't know the guy, but mister Luciana says nine
point eight out of ten on the mall monologue. My
prediction still stands that the Chiefs are going to have

(23:31):
a losing record this year, says mister Luciana. Now they'll
be like nine and eight, ten and seven, which is
not great.

Speaker 2 (23:41):
Will that be enough to get a wildcard? If they
get to ten and seven? Are you good enough to
be a wildcard team? At that point? Femi writes, and
he says, ben, as the purveyor of truth, you have
to give Trevor Lawrence his flowers.

Speaker 1 (23:54):
That fourth quarter play was the play of the week.
Maybe Trevor's been reborn again. This is where the TV
I watch must be different than Femi's TV.

Speaker 2 (24:06):
Or maybe he listens on the radio.

Speaker 1 (24:08):
I don't know, because I didn't think Lawrence played all
that well in the fourth quarter, and the eyeball test
was he didn't play very well. Yet everything I'm reading
is how great Trevor Lawrence looks. So I went back
and I looked at the actual numbers. I was like, this,
do the numbers correlate with the eyeball test? Yeah, Trevor
Lawrence in the fourth quarter had a passer rating of

(24:32):
forty four in the fourth quarter, that's his signature game.
He had a passer rating of forty four, which I
don't think is good. Let's go to the phones now.
There's a cosmic event playing out right now, and let's
find out more about that cosmic event. Let's say lo
to Eni meeni miney mo. Let's say lo to Andrea.

(24:56):
Let me punch the right line up on want sick dude,
there's Andrea in Berkeley.

Speaker 2 (25:00):
Hello Andrea, Welcome, Hello Ben, how are you? If I
was any better, I'd be a moon, but not a
full moon, because that's going on right now.

Speaker 12 (25:09):
Yes, we have a full super moon effect. When the
announces on Monday Night football, we're talking about it, so
we've kind of gone main street.

Speaker 1 (25:18):
Yeah, yeah, Well it's hard to miss it. If you're
outside at night and you look up on a clear night,
it's hard to miss that big giant white thing up
there in the sky, absolutely right.

Speaker 12 (25:27):
And it's a super full moon, meaning it's closest to Earth,
so it appears larger. So that's unusual in and of itself.
There's only about two or three super full moons a year,
and yeah, timing is everything. I'll tell you. The football
gods and goddesses have a sense of the dramatic. So
Trevor Lawrence's birthday happened to be on the super full

(25:50):
moon October sixth, nineteen ninety nine. Yeah, so he was
totally in the spotlight. I mean, the full moon brings
things to light, so he was in the spotlight. I
looked at his chart and I always say how important
Mars is for an athlete whose energy, assertion, aggression. Mars
is in scorpio, and it conjuncted his mercury in scorpio.

(26:13):
So that was like really intensified communication and at the
same time a little erratic. So you saw some of
those plays that were a little house shall I say, unusual.
So it was really kind of interesting. And they sang
Happy Birthday to him, and they baked him a cake
with some you know, the symbol of.

Speaker 2 (26:31):
The Yeah, they didn't make him the cake, somebody else,
but baked the cake.

Speaker 1 (26:35):
I don't think they were the ones. I don't think
they were in the kitchen baking the cake. Oh okay, yeah, yeah,
I don't think they were baking the cake. Now they
are supposed to going to the Moon in early twenty
twenty six, right, I read that the other day, February
of twenty twenty six.

Speaker 2 (26:49):
That's the that's the earliest.

Speaker 1 (26:52):
I guess it's not a confirmed day, but they're gonna
supposed to have a manned flight to the moon.

Speaker 2 (26:59):
Oh interesting, Yeah, would you like to go to the Moon?

Speaker 12 (27:04):
No, I don't like to travel much, but i'd certainly
like to hear about it.

Speaker 2 (27:08):
Okay, well that would be quite the trip. That's not
exactly going across to like Vegas or something that is
a much longer trip. Yeah, I understand.

Speaker 1 (27:15):
Yeah, So what now if they actually do go to
the moon. There's a lot of people that think there's
like the moon landing wasn't real, you know, So if
they go to the Moon again, are they going to
think that's also fake? Or like, how's that.

Speaker 2 (27:25):
Going to work?

Speaker 3 (27:26):
Yeah?

Speaker 12 (27:26):
I mean that remains to be seen. But I hope
they don't think it's fake. I mean, I remember back
in the day when they first did that in the sixties,
and it was a really big deal.

Speaker 9 (27:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (27:36):
No, I know it was a massive at that time.
But well, thank you very much. Andrea Virgo in service
Virgo in service on X.

Speaker 2 (27:45):
Thank you for that. There she goes, I can say,
we'll find her there.

Speaker 13 (27:49):
I tried to look for the moon in the sky
today on the way in.

Speaker 2 (27:52):
I don't know if it was behind me or like
behind a.

Speaker 10 (27:54):
Bridge, or just in the wrong part.

Speaker 2 (27:56):
I could not see it, and I love seeing them
what it looks like.

Speaker 13 (28:01):
Then I have to go up ten flights of stairs.

Speaker 2 (28:04):
You have to, I mean, you can go out. Do
you think I could just see it from the sidewalk.

Speaker 1 (28:07):
Yeah, I think if you look. There's a billboard above
the gas station, and I think, if I'm right, it
should be above the the was that bel Air up there?
That's bell Air up there, right, that's Bella, So above
bell Air you can see the thing.

Speaker 2 (28:23):
Okay, I'll go out next break and checks going to
go check right now? Are you going to go the
big moon guy?

Speaker 12 (28:28):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (28:28):
He said no, No, he likes that. Actually, the only
moon he likes is the moon's over you know that,
the Denny's thing, The moon's over him? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
moon my Hammi. Sorry, yeah he knows the name. Yeah,
big fan. Well this is an old Denny's. So yeah.

Speaker 1 (28:45):
Uh, Scrooge rights since says that game was future. The
Chief secondary was got awful and it felt almost every
defensive play in the fourth quarter they committed a penalty.

Speaker 2 (28:53):
Yes, well, the math in that is they I think
they did?

Speaker 1 (28:57):
Yeah, slunk rights and says, how come track as Kelsey
cannot speak to the media after a loss.

Speaker 2 (29:03):
Did he not talk to the media? I don't know.
I've been doing a talking He was emotional.

Speaker 1 (29:07):
He talks so much on the field, but has cost
the Chiefs. They changed the name of the Chief cost
him a few games this year with his sloppy play
and there you go.

Speaker 2 (29:18):
Oh Ben, Yes, Lorena I petition.

Speaker 13 (29:21):
He called Travis Kelcey mister redwood Now why is it
because in Taylor Swift's new album, the song about Travis Kelcey,
she describes him as a redwood tree.

Speaker 2 (29:34):
Is that is a derogatory term? She did Taylor Swift
check with trees to see if the trees are okay
with her calling him.

Speaker 13 (29:43):
You know, I think it's even you know, it's one
of those musics, right, It's like again, I think because
redwood tree opened the gate to my thighs or something
like that.

Speaker 1 (29:53):
How we need to I'm worried about the I love
the Sequoia trees, which is like the late to you know,
the redwoods and all that's tied.

Speaker 2 (30:02):
So I don't know. I mean, I I would check
make sure it's true of mister Redwood. I'll have to
go to the forest and find out the trees are
okay with that, and then, uh, yeah, you know how
many songs I've heard of that new Taylor Swift album? None? Zero, none?

Speaker 6 (30:15):
No, you have?

Speaker 13 (30:16):
Well you seem to know the lyrics well because it's
been posted all over it really yeah.

Speaker 2 (30:20):
Also, you're just scrolling on your phone exactly, and it's
touchedly on sports news too.

Speaker 13 (30:23):
A couple of sports a couple of players are like,
I don't want to hear about Travis Kelsey's Redwood.

Speaker 2 (30:29):
Okay, all right, let's.

Speaker 1 (30:30):
Go to the phone. Let's hear from Nick. Now, Nick's
got good voice, bad phone. Let's see if the phone's better.
Nick in Berkeley, who's all fired off because the forty
nine ers are back, baby, then Niners are back.

Speaker 6 (30:42):
Hey, Dan, I.

Speaker 5 (30:43):
Told you about designers last week, and I just want
to say that, yeah, you're Dodgers. I hope they sort
silly to help Milwaukee towns on them after that.

Speaker 6 (30:51):
But I just want to.

Speaker 5 (30:51):
Say that the Rams bunny game is not adstant We
exposed them for what they are frogs. I mean, you know,
and I called this before, Ben I said, Russell Wilson
lofton Padriats in the Super Bowl, I said, man, he'll
never win another Super Bowl.

Speaker 6 (31:05):
He hasn't And I'll.

Speaker 5 (31:06):
Tell you right now, Patrick Mahoonmes will never win another
Super Bowl.

Speaker 6 (31:09):
Man.

Speaker 5 (31:09):
Kansas City is done after they beat my Niners. It's
a rap. NFLS moving on from them, and that's how
it's going down.

Speaker 6 (31:15):
Buddy, I'm gone, all right.

Speaker 1 (31:17):
So we'll dismiss the fact that Rams had more rushing
yards in the forty nine ers in that game, and
they gave the game to the Niners. Yeah, you will
dismiss the two fuffles. But listen, you congratulate. You got
the gift. When people give me a gift, I don't
give the gift back. Why would you give the gift back?
They gave you a gift. The Rams said, we don't
want to win the game. They didn't show up in
the first half. They made mac Jones look like he
was back in Alabama playing against Auburn and in the

(31:39):
first half and he wasn't that great in the second
happened in the first half.

Speaker 2 (31:41):
He was good. So yeah, there you go. Congratulate.

Speaker 5 (31:44):
They almost walked us down. We got lucky. Luckily for us,
Matt Jones was able to kill himself off and surf
on a couple of cheaps outs with your linebacker, you know, with.

Speaker 2 (31:52):
W w Oh that's football. Come on, don't be like,

Thirty seconds ago, uh dog the coop saying we should

Speaker 2 (34:03):
Your thoughts, No, let's go what.

Speaker 6 (34:05):
My dad says. Okay, back in the day, his mother
had a stroke if she was in the hospital. So
some Irish guy patted around the head and said you'll
be okay. So my dad went down to the precinct
and pop chargers on him. And also, I just want
to say one last thing.

Speaker 2 (34:22):
Well, what a great guy your dad is. That's wonderful.

Speaker 6 (34:26):
Well, so I just want to say this.

Speaker 2 (34:27):
You keep saying one more thing.

I feel like there's a lot of one more things,

here we go, Eat Dog, last one.

Speaker 6 (34:35):
Okay, I want to get frisky at three o'clock in

Speaker 2 (34:40):
Okay, you're calling.

Speaker 1 (34:42):
You should be calling Melissa and not us. I can't
get frisky with you, dude. I don't know what you want.

Speaker 6 (34:47):
I'm joking around.

Speaker 2 (34:48):
I know, I know. I go away, all right, please?
So glad we held on for that. Plus it's closer
to four of the morning the Long Island.

Speaker 1 (34:58):
That's a classic phone call right there, classic phone call
by the one and only Eat Dog.

Speaker 2 (35:03):
Well, you're watching the Monday night game.

Speaker 1 (35:05):
The NFL referees who goofed I've got to know a
big miss and it was called out by the rules
analysts on the Monday night broadcast. There was a penalty
on the If you were watching the game, let me
set this up properly.

Speaker 2 (35:22):
So Jacksonville was only twenty one to fourteen.

Speaker 1 (35:25):
Trent McDuffie picked off a pass from Trevor Lawrence inside
the Jacksonville twenty yard line. The Chiefs defensive back cut
off the root of the Jags wide receiver that allowed
mcduffy to intercept the pass and it was an illegal
play that should have been pass interference should have been

(35:46):
the call. Jacksonville should have retained possession. However, the referees
did not get the call right on the field. Despite
having eight million different replay channels, they still left it up.
So someone's getting into trouble there, whether it's the rules
the analysts were pointing out, Troy Aikman or the NFL
referees being called into the principal's office. Time now for
the insta trivia, and here it is players with multiple

(36:08):
rushing touchdowns on their birthday and a Monday night football game.
Trevor Lawrence did it and Blank the only two to
do it. Players with multiple rushing touchdowns on their birthday
in a Monday night football game. Trevor Lawrence and Blank.

But quick y, here is the insta trivia players to
score multiple rushing touchdowns on their birthday and a Monday
night football game, Trevor Lawrence did it on Monday night again,
which was the city?

Speaker 2 (37:22):
And who else?

Speaker 1 (37:24):
Alf the alien Ol'piner says, Cooper Loop is the answer.
Morton Downey Junior legend from Bobby and Florida, Norm McDonald
the late Norman Donald from King Rory.

Speaker 2 (37:34):
Who else do we have? McDonald had a farm?

Speaker 1 (37:37):
Benito, the long suffering cowboy fan says my Redwood is

one only goat man rob Fire out Dave says Garth
Brooks Joint the clown from Andy and Lino Lakes, Adrian
Peterson from Femi, Evander Holyfield from Shane.

Speaker 2 (37:58):
In Des Moines. Slunk is going with somebody's icebox? Do
you have an answer?

Speaker 9 (38:02):
The right up?

Speaker 1 (38:03):
Nikola Tesla, all right, fin answer legend, but no the answer.
Nineteen eighty seven Bow Jackson against the Seattle Seahawks, an
iconic NFL.

Speaker 2 (38:13):
Wallman in that era. Here we go, how about that?

Speaker 9 (38:17):
The real.

Speaker 2 (38:20):
This is one gets quick kober.

Speaker 8 (38:23):
Ben after another loss for the Bengals and another three
interceptions from Jake Browning coach Zach Taylor didn't rule out
a change at quarterback, Ben, who should the who should
Cincinnati go after to keep them in the hunt?

Speaker 1 (38:34):
Unto Joe Barrowkins, I would have an open tryout. The
backup is Brent Rippen. He used to play for the Rams.
Guy can't play, so they got can't play. They got
sucked and blow at the quarterback position, Coop, So they
got a trade for somebody or get somebody out of
Canadian Footballague.

Speaker 2 (38:46):
Neither one of them can play next.

Speaker 8 (38:48):
Dak Prescott was serenaded with MV pach hands in the
Meadowlands during the Cowboys t against the Jets. Ben, if
Dallas were to make it to the postseason despite a
tumultuous offseason, do you think Dak will actually be in
the discussion?

Speaker 2 (39:02):
No, I don't. I don't buy it. And you know,
no one.

Speaker 1 (39:06):
No one's established themselves head and shoulders is the MVP
in the NFL.

Speaker 2 (39:10):
It's only Week five. No one's clearly headed way above everyone.
But I know I do not have Dak Prescott in
the conversation. When we have that conversation, Coop at the
end of the year, it's a nice win. You played
the Jets. Okay, you can't win an MVP against the Jets.

Speaker 8 (39:24):
Next, on Sunday, Jamier Gibbs and David Montgomery both scored
a touchdown in the same game for the fourteenth time.
That ties the record held by Emmett Smith and Daryl Johnson. However,
Emmett and Moose played together for ten years. Gibbs and
Montgomery are currently in their third year together. Ben, are
they already the greatest one two punch up running back
of all time?

Speaker 2 (39:41):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (39:41):
If I was a Lions fan Coop I was living
in Lansing, Michigan or something like that, they would be
the greatest of all.

Speaker 2 (39:47):
Of course not.

Speaker 1 (39:48):
Come on, you do that over longevity. You do that
in big games.

Speaker 2 (39:52):
You have to win championships together, and last I checked,
the Lions have done none of that. How did we
get He passes it a I run holler and James
