Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our nine bert two hour two
of our radio program. A note for you if you
missed over the weekend the Fifth Hour with me, Ben
Maller and Danny Gee. We had the biggest name we've
ever had on the podcast in Saturday's edition the Fifth Hour,

(00:23):
the all time leading rusher in NFL history, Emmett Smith,
popped in on the podcast. It was a lot of
fun to talk to Emmett. And you can hear that
and all the other fun that we had during the
weekend at Radio Row. It's all available on the Fifth
Hour podcast here an hour number two. Are the Chiefs

(00:46):
a dynasty? They now won again two Super Bowl wins
in the last four years. Is Patrick Mahomes, Tom Brady
two point zero and will Andy Reid continue to coach
the Chiefs? Or is he gonna step away? We'll talk
about that and more right now in our number two.

(01:06):
Mahomes Magic gets her done. Well, come man, the beginning
of another hour of the Ben Maller Show. We are
in the air everywhere, face to face as we enjoy
a site hustle coast to coast, border to border and
beyond on the vast and intergalactically powerful microphones of fs

(01:32):
are emanating live from the line the goal line formation.
We are broadcasting live from the tirerac dot com studios.
Tirerac dot com. We'll help you get there and unmatched selection, fast,
free shipping, free road hazard protection and over ten thousand
recommended installers ti iraq dot com the way tire buying

(01:56):
should be. So our lead this hour coming from the
Valley of the Sun, the Valley of the Sun that
was the backdrop of Super Bowl fifty seven, where Patty Mahomes, Mahomie,
Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs taking on Jalen Hurts and
the Eagles, And we've talked a lot about throughout the overnight.

(02:17):
Philadelphia favored by one at kickoff, with Rihanna performing at halftime,
and in the end, the Eagles, who looked like they
were gonna blow the doors off Kansas City, choked in
the second half. They sucked at a time you cannot sucked,
the second greatest choke job in Super Bowl history. The
Philadelphia Eagles have to eat it as the Atlanta Falcons

(02:39):
the only team other than the Eagles this year that
blew a double digit lead in the Super Bowl and
Philadelphia losing on a late field goal, as Patrick Mahomes
and the Chiefs scoring every single time, every single time
they had the ball in the second half, touchdown, touchdown, touchdown,
and the fourth drive a twelve play sixty two yard

(03:02):
drive that ate up a bunch of clock, and in fact,
they got the ball back with five fifteen on the clock.
They gave it up with eight seconds to go. They
started their own twenty five yard line and went all
the way down, got a field goal, and that last
score after a controversial penalty by Butcker the kicker, a

(03:24):
twenty seven yard field goal, and that the difference in
the game. And so Kansas City wins thirty eight to
thirty five. They are the champions and the new reigning
champions of the NFL. And so that brings us to
a debate that I had in a previous hour of
radio that I did last week. I did some bonus radio.

(03:48):
I stepped in for Chris Broussard on The Odd Couple
on Friday. I did tweet it out, so hopefully you
had a chance to hear some of that. I was
on with Rob Parker and we were going back and
forth and we were about well what if we were
the what if radio, which is always good. What if
the Chiefs were to win, they would have two championships
within a four year period. Does that mean that they're

(04:09):
a dynasty? So let us discuss. Now that they've done it,
we can now talk about it in the context that
it's happened. Are the Chiefs a dynasty? And the arrow
on this one is pointing towards yes? Right over here. Yes,
that's where the yes is right aware. So I've got
historical linguistics, typewriter, and bathtub, and we're gonna combine all

(04:32):
of these things together and we are going to make
some amazing Kansas City Ben Mallard Chicken figures. The birthplace
of the Ben Mallard Chicken figure in Kansas City, at
the landing there in Kansas City. So numb Burwa. Last week,

(04:58):
when we got into this debate on my guest spot,
there was some disagreement. There was some barking back and forth.
My man Rob Parker was of the position that this
is not a dynasty for Kansas City, and I had
to be the bearer of bad news. I had to
be the one that points out that things are different now.

(05:18):
And we did disagree. And while I don't like it
any more than the next person, based on the times
that you and I are living in, Patrick Mahomes and
Friends are the new dynasty of the NFL. Now, we
are certainly not language historians, but we can pretend to

(05:42):
be them on the radio. But historical linguistics the people
that look at this, they tell us that if you
look at the way words are interpreted and their meanings,
they change over time. And in our little world of sports,
a dynasty, up until the eighties and the nineties, that's

(06:02):
now over twenty years ago, you had to win three
titles in a four year span or three in a row,
something along those lines to be considered a dynasty. The
bar was relatively high. However, we're not in the eighties
or nineties. That's old school, right. In twenty twenty three,
the kiddos have changed. The standards have been lowered. Just

(06:26):
like everything else. Everything's lowered, right, and the standards of
lowered words do change meeting all the time and over time.
For example, did you know the word awful used to
mean worthy of awe? It was a positive thing. If
you called somebody awful, that was a great thing. You
were worthy of all. Oh, you're awful. The word nice

(06:50):
used to mean silly or foolish. Now it's a compliment,
you're so nice. In sports, a dynasty is now a
team or an individual that dominates their sport for an
extended length of time. Now that definition, which is the
Internet definition, is very vague. It is vague intentionally. Under

(07:14):
that criteria, a dynasty is a team or individual that
dominates their sport or league for an extended period of time.
The Chiefs qualify as a dynasty because what is your
definition of an extended period of time? Four years, for example,
which is the time period we're talking about here with
the Chiefs. Four years. You can start as a freshman

(07:36):
in high school and graduate. And in theory, if you
pay attention in college, you can start college and graduate
college within four years. So in a four year period,
the Chiefs and a vague definition are a dynasty. The
lesson we love to play with words and manipulate words

(07:58):
like their Plato and change the language. W not now
page two here is Patrick Mahomey is Patrick Mahomes, Tom
Brady two points out now on this one, I'm going
end plus Oh no, Mahomes is not the alter ego

(08:20):
of TB twelve. This is not a replay or a
rerun situation, and Walt Patrick Mahomes is comparable and in
some ways actually better than Brady at the same point
in their careers. We would like to not go completely
bonkers and be prisoners of the moment. Tom Brady turned

(08:41):
out to be a multigenerational unicorn. The odds are against
his records being erased, and certainly they're not gonna be
erased anytime soon, even if Mahomes ends up passing Brady
by at some point. But everyone is so obsessed with
the next big thing. We gotta find it next big

(09:03):
thing now. My advice is to stop looking for the
next big thing and just enjoy the show. Just like
if you go to a sporting event, you don't have
to hold your phone up at a big moment. You
can go online and watch the video and chances are
you're not going to be able to sell whatever video
you got for a bunch of money. Like if you
don't really want to watch with your own eyes, just

(09:24):
don't go to the event. How about that? But Patrick
Mahomes is creating his own giant footprints that with every
step that he takes. Imagine if you will, Mahomes sitting
at his antique vintage typewriter and he's pecking away at
the keyboard there as he builds his own resumes up

(09:44):
to two Super Bowl champions, two Super Bowl MVPs. He's
a two time NFL MVP, became the first MVP in
the regular season to win the Super Bowl since Kurt
Warner a generation ago. Two time first team All Pro.
That's really important. Nobody cares about the Pro Bowls, a
flag football game. All Pro matters, one time second team

(10:05):
All Pro. He's led the NFL and passing touchdowns a
couple of times, passing yards this year. I can't go
on on. And he has been the same player regular
season versus postseason. You know, some guys turtle up in
the playoffs and they're half the player they were during
the regular season, like Peyton Manning. In many a playoff game,

(10:26):
Peyton Manning was a fraud compared to how he played
during the regular season. Well, Patrick Mahomes his regular season
passer rating and his playoff passer ratings slightly better in
the playoffs, but it's within the margin of error. And
now with Tom Brady gone, Mahomes is the new measuring stick.
He is the barometer for quarterbacks. But that does not mean,

(10:48):
that does not mean that he's Tom Brady two point. Oh,
it just means now Brady's gone and Mahomes is how
you judge these things and that's how you match up
other quarterbacks. Final point, Will Andy Reid keep coaching the
Chiefs or is he going to step away? So that
was a legitimate question to be asked. And the reason
why is because prior to kickoff of the Chiefs Win

(11:12):
thirty eight thirty five, Jay Glazer, the NFL insider, Jay Glazer,
he reported that he had spoken to Andy Reid about
possibly retiring and the coach had said that he had
to still make the decision. So many media types who
love the storyline, they all went to the same sports
writing class. They love the storyline, the walk off win,

(11:34):
final moment in the spotlight, you'll win the championship and
you go away. It's a very easy story to write.
You could. We've all seen the movie. Andy Reid takes
the Lombardi and fades into the sunset. It's the Disney ending.
And to that we say, thuie right, if you feel

(11:54):
good and Andy Reid does appear to feel good. If
you love what you do, why would you walk away?
Why would you do it just because you reach a
certain number. Age Wise you have to quit doing it.
You know you can go and enjoy the bathtub filled
with dopamine. And even Andy Reid saying that he's gonna
come back, and coach doesn't guarantee that he's gonna come back,

(12:15):
and coach right that people change their minds heat of
a moment and all that stuff, But coaching in the
NFL and having a big time quarterback like Patrick Mahomes,
like Andy Reid's worked his entire career to have this opportunity,
to have this shot and to get chance after chance
to win championships, and so enjoy the dopamine. Enjoy that

(12:38):
the pathway to pleasure, right to feel good hormone dopamine
now mean one. Reporters were quizzing Big Red after the
game there and for what it's worth, as we said,
Reid said that you know he's thinks he's gonna hang around.
We in fact, just to prove I'm not making this up.
Here is Andy Reid commenting and asked about his status
as coach of Can a city. I look in the

(13:02):
mirror and I'm old, um my heart, though I was young.
I mean, I still enjoy doing what I'm doing. I
got asked that fifty times here and finally I just go, whatever, man,
you know whatever, and that's a that's a good friend.
Ja Galais is a good friend. So I mean, he's
probably telling me to get my tale out. I'm too old,
but I'm good with what I'm doing right now. So here, yo,

(13:22):
keep good, keep doing. Andy Reid he's sixty four years
old and three hundred and thirty days to be exact,
the fourth oldest head coach to win a Super Bowl,
so he's got that going for him. That is an
odd feeling when you you start looking in the mirror
and you're like, what, that's a that's a that's a
weird look at person, Like, how did that happen? I
had a great time though, with Andy Reid's doppelganger. I

(13:45):
ran into this guy. I sent out a photo on
the social media though, but I ran into the almost
Andy Reid guy at the Super Bowl. And I'm very
proud to announce that that guy who looks just like
Andy Reid is a fan of the show. He's a
fan of the show. And how do I know that?

(14:06):
Because he read my media passes Ben Mahler and he
used to work overnight. He says he doesn't work overnight anymore,
but he used to start work in the middle of
the night. And he told me that he was a
fan of the show. He used to listen to show
all the time back in the day. So I'm now
adding him to the celebrity wing of the Mallard Militia,

(14:28):
the celebrity fan. He's right next the Clipper Darryl and
also on that wing we have marlins Man. So we
are the show of record for the celebrity fan. Like
the Andy Reid doppel game, but back to the real
Andy Reid. Now with two Super Bowl wins with the
chiefs Andy Reid the fourteenth NFL head coach to have

(14:50):
multiple Super Bowl wins and the cherry on top of
the nice, delicious Sunday beating his old team, the Philadelphia
was the only coach in the NFL history to have
ten or more playoff wins with multiple teams is Andy Reid,
and the only coach that has more playoff wins is
Bill Belichick. So Andy Reid fast track to the Hall

(15:13):
of Fame at some point. Now he's racking up wins
and it's easy Street with Patrick Mahomes in Cans City.
All right, it is the Ben Mallers Show. That is
the show you're listening to right now. We thank you
for that eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox eight
seven seven nine nine six six three sixty nine. If

(15:33):
you'd like to be part of the program. Also on
Twitter at Ben Mallard. Last hour, we ran into a
brick wall there. Bad job by Finley, But we asked
the who am I game question? Who am I game? Question?
Was Nick Bolton of the Chiefs? He had that fumble
return touchdown when when Jalen Hurts fumbled in the first

(15:54):
half there, that was a big play that kept Kansas
City in the game. There, but that fumble return touchdown
for the Chiefs the first in the Super Bowl since me.
The answer was Malik Jackson way back in Super Bowl fifty,
Way back in Super Bowl fifty. That was the one
that he Malik Jackson with the Broncos. That was the
one where Cam Newton fumbled and then decided that he

(16:17):
would rather do anything but jump on the fumble. You
remember that, Yeah, that was. That was that game. That's
the only thing we remember about that game. That and
Peyton Manning was completely washed up in The Broncos won anyway,
but Cam Newton fumbling and then looking at the fumble
like a live hand grenade which was about to explode,

(16:37):
and he wanted nothing to do with that, nothing at
all to do with it. All right. It is the
Bennet Mallers Show, The Ben Mallers Show. If you'd like
to be part eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox,
that's eight seven seven nine nine six sixty three six nine,
you can join the fun. And so there was one
prop bed that people were betting over and over and

(17:02):
over and over and over, and it was all because
of an Internet rumor. It was an Internet rumor that
was bouncing around and people were loading up on this.
It was a plus four thousand prop bet. What was
that prop bet that people were loading up on. We'll
get to that. And also not for sale, not for sale.

(17:24):
We'll get to that as well, and we will do
it next. You're listening to The Ben Mallard Show on

platoon known as the Ben Mallards Show. Now let's get
back to hot talk. Do you believe with Big Ben?

(18:31):
Please stand up Uplease, stand up. It's mad. The super
Bowl is over. The rioting not in Kansas City, in Philadelphia,
there's angry all kinds of Eagle fans taking to the streets.
The riot police sent out to break up the debauchery

(18:53):
within the last couple hours overnight in Philadelphia. I'm not
sure what the latest is on that. There are some
videos of Eagle fans acting badly shocking. Well, you knew
either way there was going to be civil unrest in Philadelphia.
There would have been a very happy riot if the
Eagles had won a jubilee. And since the Eagles lost

(19:15):
the Super Bowl, and then it's a bunch of angry
people who are running amuck around Philadelphia. We were deprived.
Fats and little Fats, well actually I don't mean little Fat,
his kid. We're planning a big stunt. They were gonna
go to the library there in Philadelphia and recreate the

(19:35):
Rocky running up the stairs and all that. They were
wearing Eagles onesies. I did see video of that in
city Center there Philadelphia. But unfortunately, because they lost. I
believe Fats has decided to pass out in the gutter
somewhere in Philadelphia and move on with his life. But

(19:55):
he was planning a big extravagant to celebration had the
Eagles one. They did not. We'll go back to the
calls here. It is a call in show and we
say hello to Cedric who was hanging out in Virginia
and he is on Fox Sports Radio. Hello Cedric, Welcome,
Yo sluck suck, Hey, welcome Cedric. How can we help you? Hey?

(20:17):
I do want to know when you was on Rob
Parking show, he let you get a chance to talk.
You know, he don't know. They don't like to let
y'all talk, let each other talk when they got game
back and forth. Oh no, we were fine and we
were screaming each other. Yeah, yeah, I mean Rob. I
know Rob for for several years. Again, I mean Rob,
we think the same way. We'd like to yell, we'd
like to shout. And I noticed they have more got

(20:38):
that in coming. I wish I had have caught it, man.
And then another thing, Now I know the guy said
it was a it was a whole. He said it
himself that he was a whole. But now you gotta
let that go, man, and find the second and start
that the whole end of the game. Yeah, but the
Eagles blew the lead. They had a double digit lead.
It shouldn't have come down to that. They should have
won the game going away. What happened to Hassan Reddick

(21:01):
in that defense getting sacks? They led the way in sacks.
What happened? They didn't get one sacks, Edric, not one
sack in the game. That's true, that's true, Ug, Kansas
City old line was just good. It's good tonight. Yeah.
They they all played the Eagle defense for sure. There's
no question on that. All right, thank you, Sedric. Let's

(21:22):
go to We got a celebrity Chiefs fan. Now another
celebrity Chiefs fan, Judge Reid. NFL insider Judge Reid is on.
You don't know who Judge Reid is. That's a bad
job by you. Hello, Judge Reid, Welcome to the Ben.
Oh Ben. It has been a couple of years, but
I am finally back on your guys as radio waves.

(21:43):
How are you guys doing tonight? I like it. You
waited until the Chiefs won the Super Bowl to come back.
I know, right, it's like the perfect sure front runner,
front runner, Judge Reid, that's what I have front runners
on my screen here. Yeah, absolutely today downtown can't see everybody.

(22:04):
We all had that huge party at the Power and
Light District out there and probably about ten or fifteen
thousand people just crammed into this one city. Was there
any riding Judge Reid? Was there any kind of civil
there was really actually yes, a little bit. Um so
after the game was over, obviously all the fireworks and
everything going off, a big celebration in the city. I

(22:24):
was walking down Main Street over towards like almost like
the plaza area. There's a quick group bread there off
for like forty second in Maine, and like literally like
there was a group of about forty or fifty people
there and like just they were trying to all shake
the cars or like trying to tip the cars, and
like they were a light in the trash cans on
fire with like different like flares and so like their

(22:46):
security had to come out and everything like that. And
did they successfully tip over any car? No? No, no, no,
they were trying to though. One of the dudes was
like super drunk and like took one of the pumps.
So pumped four one the gas pumps and one was
like trying to like straining gas people. Oh that's a
good idea. Yeah, that's a that's a yeah, that's a

(23:07):
brilliant how people are whenever they're drunk and celebrating. But oh,
I know, but the fans in Philadelphia, did I saw
a video? Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, they flipped over a
car and they were jumping. Yeah yeah yeah. Pregame wise,
there's that group or whatever. And then he saw that
one little, that two in five pound man that just
with a mustache like and his thirties obviously just staying

(23:29):
in front of the car with his arms outstretched at
some guy. Well, it did remind me of when Lebron
set the NBA scoring mark because you had the people
flipping the car over, jumping on the car, and then
everyone else had their arm extended like the Statue of
Liberty to document the moment there, and they had they
had a recorder of their cell phone. Now that is
a little different though, because there there I don't think

(23:50):
there were any other professional cameras there other than cell
phone cameras, so I could kind of get recording that
because that's something that's not being documented by twenty five
television cameras. But still, come on, right, absolutely, I mean,
that's that's Philadelphia for you. They're gonna, they're gonna, let's
just right, They're just like the Canadians. Up there anytime

(24:11):
they lose a hockey game or World Series. Half the town,
oh man native. Yes, all right, well, Judge Reid, you
got another parade to go to, Judge read on Wednesday.
On Wednesday, try to keep that. Try to remember last time,
the last time the Chiefs won, there was that guy,

(24:32):
the wrong way driver. Try to keep the people need
where they need to be. Okay, absolutely that. And then
there was also this drunk guy that liked his as
like he was sitting in a tree or whatever with
his ass like exposed. And yeah, we don't need any bear,
we don't need any of No, we don't need any
of that. No, no, all right, well thank you. There
he goes the great judge read celebrity chief fan calling in,

(24:55):
like every time the Chiefs win the Super Bowl, we
hear from the judge read. He calls in here. All right,
it is the Ben Mallers Show. As we press on
here through the overnight hours, and the listener, Sharon writes
and says, don't know if you've seen this yet, but
she sent the video. I've not seen that angle of

(25:16):
the car being tipped over pregame in Philadelphia. I've not
seen that, but that that mob of Eagle fans so excited,
and that was actually the only sack they had Philadelphia.
The defense did not sack anybody. The Eagle fans had
more sacks than the Eagle defense. They sacked that car,

(25:36):
they flipped that thing over. Justin in Cincinnati says, it's
not a riot in Philadelphia until it is described as
a mostly peaceful protest. Well, that was all the rage
a couple of years ago, Rose writes in Listener. Rose says,
and Nick Sirianni gave the middle finger to the chief
sideline during the booth review. Nick Sirianni, He's he's got

(26:00):
a lot of gyrations on the sideline, a lot of them.
Let's see your page down, page down. Robin Vegas is
I love you, Ben, but this back and forth between
you and the tennis updator is driving listeners away. Being
honest in honor of the Mallar Militia, I blame Eddie clearly. Well,
let's get over to that tennis updator right now standing

(26:23):
by it's actually sitting down. He's under the weather. He
needs some garlic therapy, yes, and he's Brian. Robin Vegas
does love me, by the way, A lot of that's
not true. He hates you. He knows all the time. Well,
it's interesting because a lot of people publicly and social
media will rip me, but then they will say the
nicest things in my DMS. So it's like they're giving up.

(26:45):
Why would Rob slide into your DMS? I don't know,
but he has. Can you send me some screenshot? Sure? Yeah, yeah,
for sure. By the way, the doppelganger of Andy Reid,
he said he was a big fan of the show.
Did you ask him if he knew who anybody on
the crew was? No? No, he did he like he did. Yeah,
I was shocked. Yeah, I'm happier that he listens in

(27:09):
like the real Andy Reid. Like that to me, that's
pretty cool. Yeah, he looks more like Andy Reid than
Andy Reid does. He does guys insane. He's walking around.
I was like that, Holy crap, Why is Andy Reid
here in his uniform at the radio road? It makes
no sense. So he was waddling, is what you're saying. Yeah,
he's wad around, and you know he had the same
outfit on anywhares, the whole thing, the whole get up

(27:31):
and very nice man, hard working guy, and he just
happened to win the genetic lottery, or maybe he didn't
win the genetic lottery, but he looks just like Andy Reid.
Either that or a walrus, I don't know. Be sure
to catch live editions of The Ben Maller Show weekdays
at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. All right, this
is Jay Glazer. And you may know me for the

(27:52):
world of football or fighting, or even shows like HBO's Ballers.
Well you don't know. It is for my entire life.
I lived in something I refer to as the gray
depression anxiety. So now I'm coming out with a new podcast, Unbreakable,
a mental health podcast with Jay Glazer where each week,
well we talk about mental health. I hope to describe it,

(28:13):
give it words. Listen to Unbreakable with Jay Glazer on
the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Tight End Travis Kelsey was asked to sum up the
experience of winning the Big Game. It's the greatest feeling
in the world, being on top of the mountain, being
here with the guys that we did it with, with

(28:34):
the coaches we did it with, through all the adversity,
there's nothing I can say that can really explain how
I'm feeling right now, being at the top of my
brothers and my teammates. It's the best feeling in the world.
I always love the adversity. Every team has a verse
or like what's hello? Like that's just life. You know,
you don't have nothing starts and you don't play the

(28:56):
entire season without players getting hurt, you know what I'm saying. Yeah,
or when the favorites or the chalk they say how
they were counted out? Oh yeah, Travis Kelcey, I'll be
ripping Kelsey later. Okay, Travis Kelsey. Nobody picked us. Yeah,
they were one of the favorites before the season. Yeah,
nobody picked us. Yeah, five title games. Yeah, nobody believed

(29:17):
in us. That's one of my pet pieves. Now I
got a buddy, I'll talk about it, so I do.
I'll do a monologue on this lady. But one of
my buddies, he's a new old newspaper guy, a friend
of mine. I text him. His pet peeve is the
hack sideline reporters who say, how does it feel? You know?
That's like the first question after any game, how does
it feel? You know? My pet peeve is nobody believed

(29:39):
in US. I'm like, shut up well, like the paint
in the middle of the Patriot dynasty when they were
winning championship. After the championship is like the Patriots would
win a Super Bowl, nobody thought we could do it,
you know, shut up Well, it's how does it feel?
Or what is going through your head? Or when you
don't start with a question, you start with to about Yeah,

(30:02):
those are that's always a lazy journalistic techniques. Well, they
do teach you in journalism school if you have to
ask open ended questions what or how Most questions are
what about this? Or how about that? But that's how
you ask a question. Yeah, well said. In the NBA,
the Celtics topple the Grizzlies one nineteen to one on
nine John Brand twenty five points in a losing effort.

(30:23):
Number one Perdue in college basketball, e face plants as
they lose to Northwestern, give up a lead late sixty
four to fifty eighth. The final score north Northwestern finishing
on a seventeen to three run, and Scottie Scheffler wins
the PGA Tours. Waste Management Phoenix opened with a nineteen
under week score and a two shot victory for him.

(30:45):
By the way, as they send it back to you,
Ben Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, this is what he said
after the Super Bowl loss. He said, quote, you either
win or you learn. That's how I feel. It's something
that I know will motivate me. Close quote. So you
talk about what people need to gain motivation. That's the
way that Hurts is looking at it. Yeah, he's also

(31:07):
gonna get paid a lot of money. Yes, Jalon Hurts
that one of the all time great quotes after an
Eagle Cowboy game when he had a terrible game and
he said, when you take your deuce, you don't sit
there and look at it. You flush it and move on.
It's only all time great quotes by Jalen Hurts of
the Eagles. It's a wonderful job by him. I wish
there were more people at FSR that would flush. That's disgusting. Man.

(31:30):
You take you a deuce, you don't you don't sit
there and look at it. Yeah, flush it, move on
and move on. That's such a great uh. I've determined
that there are three percent of men that decide they
don't want to flush. And I think it's because they're

(31:52):
proud of their accomplishment. They look at when they look no, seriously,
they look back down and they're like, I can't believe
that pile, that mount and came out of me. I
want someone else to enjoy that. So I'm gonna leave
it there so the next person that comes in can
look at that and say, Wow, what a mountain that is.
And they want you to look at their their crap

(32:13):
when they do it. That might be it also, that
might be at Allso what about those who are interested
in water conservation? You have to account for those folks
as well. Is that you is that you run? Are
you worried about that? Are you concerned about the water? No?
Why don't you go to Flint, Michigan. You can boil
the water? That terrible? Is that? By the way? Yet
again the damn water. It's horrible, brutal anyway, it's being

(32:37):
a brutal. So these people who gets hornswoggled by the internet.
You might remember last week there was a screen shot
that was bouncing around that claimed and I think I'm
getting this right. Maybe not, but as I understand it
and I saw it, so I think I'm right on
this pro Football Reference, which is a great website, used

(32:59):
to be better than They charge extra for the good stuff,
so I don't really go there that much. But they
have all the stats and the history of football on there.
And they had a page that was bouncing around that
claimed that the Philadelphia Eagles were going to win the
Super Bowl, and they gave the score and so that
final score, because the whole bit was it was all

(33:22):
scripted and the game was going to end like this,
and because they got the script at Pro Football Reference,
and that was going to be the final score. So
in terms of liability at some of the offshore books,
they had a major liability. People were betting the final
score was going to be the exact final score, which

(33:43):
was plus four thousand, forty to one Eagles thirty seven
Chiefs thirty four the final Now, as we know, the
game did not end up that way. Kansas City ended
up winning the game, but it was close. It could
have easily gone that direction. Third, it would not have

(34:04):
ended up thirty seven thirty four, but it could have
been thirty eight thirty five, within one point either way.
That's pretty impressive. The one that they got killed on.
I am told the books would any field goal or
point after touchdown hit the crossbar or the upright and
that missed field goal by Kansas City in the first

(34:27):
half did hit the crossbars, so that was plus five
fifty on that, so they got killed on that one.
There was also a lot of people betting on would
there be a successful two point conversion in the Super Bowl,
so you had that as well. That was plus two fifty.

(34:48):
Give me an idea of some of the stranger prop
bets that did hit for the public where they were
able to cash in on that. This portion of the

Robert Kraft confirming the long speculated situation for the New
England Patriots. Robert Craft telling people this week that he
will quote never never sell the New England Patriots and

(35:34):
the team is going to be the family business. It
will stay with the family for decades, for decades. At
Robert Craft, who's I don't know if he's getting any younger.
He didn't get married last year. But Robert Kraft, who
has been around the block a few times, he's seen
everything and done Everything's eighty one years old and he

(35:57):
is planning on keeping them. Yeah. Time. I believe they
will hold training camp and have trainers from the Orchards
of Asia day Spa there in Jupiter, Florida will be
helping out the team. But he has been a Patriot fan,
Robert Craft since nineteen season ticket all since nineteen seventy one,

(36:21):
and he originally got part of the Patriots way back
in nineteen eighty five. We had ten year option in
that at Foxborough Raceway, Jason of the Stadium. But he's
been involved with the Patriots for a long time and
his kid is going to take over. I think Jonathan

(36:42):
Craft is the one that's gonna run the Patriots once

terrible answer. The correct answer is Auto Graham Auto Graham
way back in nineteen fifty four for the Cleveland Browns
in the NFL Championship game. They didn't have the Super
Bowl back then against the Lions. It's Meller, how about that?
To the third degree, this is one big band gets grilled.

(39:47):
Hoop Dalou. There are now rumors that the Ravens could
be swayed to trade Lamar Jackson with a huge windfall
of draft picks. Ben, do you think a team would
offer them a huge windfall of draft picks? Yes? Yes,
this is a story that we will talk about a lot.
Now the Super Bowls over with, we fully will turn
our attention in the coming days here to the gossip

(40:07):
of the NFL. But Lamar Jackson, if he did really
quit on the Ravens, they would be open to trade
a him. But I could see a team like the Falcons,
who are desperate for a franchise quarterback to make that move,
or the Commanders or the Texans next James Hardens City
now feels vindicated and that the trades proved that he
wasn't the crazy one or the quitter on the nets. Ben,

(40:29):
do you think that's true. God, No, this is a
gummy situation. Isaac James, I see it wasn't me. He's
genuinely bothered by the media, and that tells you he
does not ignore the media. He soaks it up. But
by the way I look at it, Harden was the
first person to jump ship in Brooklyn, and so that

(40:50):
just proves he's the trendsetter of quitters. And Harden's got
a flaw. He does not handle adversity well in basketball.
He doesn't do in the playoffs, and the Nets had
some adversity and he wanted to leave next. Former Jets
wide receiver Brandon Marshall said over the weekend that he
thinks Jimmy g or even Derek Carr would be a
better option for the Jets because of the risk that

(41:10):
Aaron Rodgers could be one and done. Do you agree
with him? Ben? Who the hell care? I'd rather have
one year of Aaron Rodgers than seven years of Derek Carr.
What are you doing? And Garoppolo gets hurt all the time.
That's the worst take ever by Brandon Marshall. I'm sending
him to hot take goolog. Bad job by him. How
did we do? He passed this Edition that is a

(41:32):
winner you put on the board
