Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our name ber one hour one
of the Ben Mahlers Show podcast we kick off a
new week. A reminder if you missed any of the
fifth Hour podcast over the weekend with never before told
stories you can only hear exclusively on the podcast format,

(00:22):
make sure to download those podcasts. We had a great
mail bag on Sunday and some zany and wild commentary
on Friday and Saturday. It is all available for you
to download when you get done listening today's edition. To
today's edition of the Ben Malor Show. So we start
out our one not with Sunday Night Football. That game
was a dud. Instead, we go to Denver where Cansa

(00:45):
City took it on the chin. Who gets the blame?
Barbecue rib platter for the Chiefs. Also, what does this
loss to Lowly Denver now do for Kansas City? And
as far as the Sunday night game, a route or
root for the Chargers? What's your takeaway from Tyson Beagent's
second NFL start, The Great Savior of Chicago Football. We'll

(01:08):
talk about all that and more right now here. It
is our number one. On one hand, it is a
rocky mountain high. On the other, a rocky mountain low
Welcome in the beginning of another week of the Ben
Batther Show. We are in the air everywhere, homeboys, mere

(01:35):
mortals as we hang out coast to coast, border the
border and beyond on the mast and mighty powerful microphones
of fsre mmnating live from the diarrhea, the verbal diarrhea
all night long as we hang out, broadcasting live from

(01:58):
the tyraq dot com student tyrack dot com will help
you get there in unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free
road hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended in stars
tyrack dot com. The way tire buying should be is
we settle back in and I don't know what kind
of animals work here on the weekends, but everything completely

(02:19):
effed up, just wonderful. God forbid, you don't screw with
the equipment when you do a weekend show here. I
don't know what kind of vermin are working in here,
but everything all mess up. But anyway, first world problems
are headline headline this hour from Canza City, where Russell
Wilson threw back to his days in Seattle. He had

(02:43):
not one, not two, but three touchdown passes, but barely
one hundred yards and Justin Simmons two takeaways. Denver had
five takeaways, and the Broncos hog Tide, Paddy Mahomes and
that high falute in Kansas any team. They snapped their
sixteen game losing streak to the Chiefs twenty four to

(03:06):
nine the final. Now, normally we would start the show
with the Sunday Night game, but that was such a
dog food game. There's nothing, there's really nothing to start with.
We'll talk about it, but games sucked. They should have had
a World Series game would have been better. I would
have enjoyed watching that more. Instead, I flipped over to
watch NBA game. That's how bad the Sunday Night game was.
I was watching random NBA games rather than that. But

(03:28):
we're talking about the Chiefs and the Broncos. This the
signature win in the Sean Payton era, and yeah, well
it's only been a short time. The Broncos were so happy,
they were so giddy that they decided to shove it
down the throat of Travis Kelcey and the Chiefs there
as they were serenaded the Kansas City players serenaders if

(03:50):
they came off the field. There with Taylor Swift's hit
shake it off blaring through the sound system in the
Rocky Mountains there and the Broncos Stephen Parker, the snow
Dog got down was dancing. I was very excited. So
the Broncos hand Mahomes his first AFC West Road loss,

(04:11):
beating Kansas City and beating them rather convincingly all things consider.
It's twenty four to nine, a lot of mistakes, a
sloppy game for Andy Reid's team, and that's the first
time Kansas City has been able or the Broncos have
been able to beat Kansas City's Patrick Mahomes in thirteen tries.
So the better story, though, is in the losing locker room,

(04:33):
and so that is where we will begin. Who gets
the blame barbecue rib basket for Kansas City losing this game?
So I've got day Quill also have in addition to that,
if that was not enough, we've got delicious, absolutely delicious

(04:54):
pumpernickel and soup kitchen. And we will combine all of
these things together and we are going to make a
kickoff Mallard monologue to begin the new week. So a
we start with Patrick Mahomes. If you're assigning blame barbecue
ribs out of the basket. You gotta start with Mahomes.

(05:18):
It's gonna get kind of messy. It's gonna get kind
of messy here, and you gotta get your bib and
your napkins and all that, because we were told that
Mahomes was under the weather. Now, normally when you get
that kind of story, it's the flu game. You know,
you get the flu game where the athlete goes out
there and does very well, or the food poisoning game.
We learned that during COVID we all watched this documentary

(05:38):
about the Chicago Bulls and we learned that Jordan it
was actually food poisoning. That's that's what it ended. But anyway, nonetheless,
Mahomes under the weather goes out there and like Hercules
is gonna go out and dominate. And that's part of
life in the big city. That's what you just expect.
You don't get a mulligan if you go out there

(05:58):
on a bad, bad, feeling bad type of night when
you go out there and suck, and Mahomes did. That
was his flu game, Patrick Mahomes, and he sucked at
a time you cannot suck. He does does not get
credit for going out there and playing sick. If you're

(06:19):
going to play like that, keep in mind the same
Denver team that allowed Miami to have seventy points and
over seven hundred yards of offense was able to keep
the Chiefs in check. So Mahomes on this day was
the Duke of Pugue as he went out to clearly
the day quill did not fix the illness. The whatever

(06:42):
type of medication pharmaceuticals he was on did not work.
Mahomes was never in control on this date, and passes
were sailing around like a rigatta in the wings of
the mighty ocean. And Andy Reid now, Andy Reid also,
you got a point at Andy Reid here and he
can enjoy some finger licking good ribs, barbecue ribs here

(07:06):
because a Reid was so lax with the rules this
week that things are getting so comfortable in Denver for
Andy Reid and friends here that Travis Kelsey was allowed you.
I don't know if you saw this over the weekend
quarter of the ratings. Nobody's watching the World Series, but
they did play the World Series on Friday and Saturday.

(07:28):
Even if no one watched, but Travis Kelce watched. He
didn't watch it on television. Though, on Friday night, Travis
Kelcey attended Game one of the World Series. Oh my god,
I can't wait. Now, let's say what you want about this.
It wouldn't be a story if Kansas City had won
the game, it wouldn't have been But they didn't win

(07:50):
the game. So it's absolutely absolutely a story here. And
is it out of bounds or inbounds to blame Andy
Reid for someone as we got to you did. We
have to blame Andy Reid because this is something that
I don't recall the Chiefs allowing this kind of thing
in the past. That Andy Reid's changed a little bit.
Is he gone Hollywood now because Taylor Swift's hanging out

(08:11):
at many Chiefs games. I don't know. But what are
you doing? You know, Travis Kelsey caught on camera at
the World Series. They're hanging out and dancing to the
shake it off from Taylor Swift. He didn't make it
to Denver only to lose to one of the worst
teams in Pro football, So but he enjoyed the World Series.

(08:34):
I'm sure he did. Unacceptable. Unless Andy Reid is now
running a country club for the Chiefs, maybe he is.
I don't know. Maybe they decided, you know, they're so
good they can just do whatever the hell they want
and they don't have to, you know, stay with the
team and all that Friday night. You want to go
to a World Series game, got a road game on
a Sunday that no problems. Do what you want. You're
Travis f and Kelsey. Now page two here, what does

(08:56):
this loss to lowly Denver do to KC. I'm glad
you asked, because looking out at the serengetti of the
NFL out in the landscape, it reminds you, first of all,
that despite having Patrick Mahomes on any given Sunday, I
read that somewhere that Mahomes can go out there and

(09:17):
suck at a time you cannot suck. So the chiefs mortality.
We are reminded of that. We are also reminded that
they might want to make I don't know, four trades
before Halloween's deadline to get some wide receivers. Hello, God
to the blow the wide receiver. Go out and make
a trade. This is the Goldielocks era. Now, I go

(09:38):
on every week. I go on in Kansas City on
our affiliate six to ten Sports with my friend Fesco
in the morning, and I have for the last month
when I've been asked, I have pointed out that the Chiefs,
it is imperative that this is the great era of
Chiefs Football. Do not eFront who cares about draft picks.
Trade your stupid draft picks. Get receivers in there that

(10:00):
are competent, that can break plays open, because they don't
have that right now in Kansas City. So it's a
mortality thing. It's also the fact that even when playing
the hungry puppies of the NFL, this is a shrinkage situation.
I think we sell a pill for that doing late nights.

Speaker 2 (10:19):
We have a pill for everything here.

Speaker 1 (10:21):
But as the Chiefs hold on, the penthouse shrinks away.
If youre Kansas City had been the only AFC team
with one loss that was entering Sunday, but now they are.
There's a bottleneck. And you've got the Chiefs in that
same mix with Jacksonville and the Ravens as they're all

(10:45):
bundled up there. And now you turn to pumper Nickel
and Schnitzel. If you're Andy Reid, that's the magic tonic
pumper Nickel and Schnitzel. Now why is that say, why
this loss means that next week's game against twa tungueoby

(11:06):
loo as Miami squad in Germany games not in Miami's
in Germany, is now a must win situation for the
Chiefs if they plan on getting that number one seed
in the AFC, get the first round by have the
home games at Arrowhead, win a couple of home games,

(11:27):
and go out to Vegas for the Super Bowl. So
now they got to beat the Dolphins and they are
gonna go into that game without real firepower. There's just
no firepower on the Chiefs offense. And yet they've won
a bunch of games, but they're not gonna zoom past
the Miami Dolphins. And if that defense has a bad quarter,

(11:50):
they're screwed the Chiefs offense all right now the last word,
we will now get to Sunday Night football. Why why not?
Justin Herbert had three touchdown passes two hundred and ninety
eight yards in a game that was not competitive and
not made for prime time as it was lopsided. The
Chargers get a thirty to thirteen win over to Bears.

(12:12):
The better story, though, is in the losing locker room,
which is always the Chicago Bears locker room and they
play It's always the Bears locker room. So what is
your takeaway from watching Tyson beaijin second NFL start? All right,
so here's my takeaway. I got an original take. The
person that needs to be called out after Tyson Beagen's

(12:35):
second NFL start is Josh McDaniels, the coach of the Raiders.
Holy crap, how the hell did you? How did you
lose to this guy? How incompetent? A stooge? Is Josh
mcdanne Now the Raiders play tonight against the Lions on
Monday Night Football, But holy canoi? Tyson Beaijin looked like

(12:56):
like he was lost in the forest somewhere playing quarterback
for the Chicago Bears and the Chargers last I checked,
statistically one of the worst defenses in the NFL this year.
They suck. They can't stop anybody to charge unless they
go against the pride of Shepherd's Town, West Virginia. I

(13:16):
would rather have a shepherd Pie out there playing quarterback
than this guy. Tyson Baijit. The way he played in
this game as the Cinderella story that lasted one week.
I hope everyone in the Chicago media got all their
Cinderella stories out in the newspapers and the blogs and
all that. Tyson Beijing the savior of the Chicago Bears.

(13:37):
He's our rock party until he plays a second game
undrafted and absolutely pulloxed in his game again, I guess
the defense that was statistically terrible. So the Cinderella story
goes away. What rags to riches, back to rags. He
can go hang out the NFL quarterback soup kitchen. Now

(13:58):
Tyson bagent, and it's back to the drawing board. For
those that were convinced the Bears had found their new
savior after one game against the Raiders where he look good,
it's back to a blank space now. So the numbers
keep adding up. Now they wait for Justin Fields to
come back, although he stinks most of the time. And
you look around, an entire generation of Chicago Bears football

(14:21):
has been garbage. The Chicago Bears since two thousand have
started twenty nine different starting quarterbacks in that time. They
have in the last thirty two seasons, that's over a generation.
They have just seven playoff appearances now the Bears, and
in the last seventeen seasons they have one playoff win.

(14:42):
That's the Bears. Now. My point salt on the wound
because Mark is in here tonight. Probably so, probably so,
But that's all right. He appreciates that because he understands
he's a Bears fan and he understands what that's all about. Anyway,

(16:37):
We started out with Kansas City, going down to Denver, Oh,
goofed I've got to know, and we discussed that, and
I'm debating here blocking Poppy. He keeps I don't go
on X very often, but he keeps sending this chicken
propaganda and I'm in a foul mood, Eddie. I know

(17:00):
I don't want to deal with that, so maybe I
should just block them.

Speaker 2 (17:03):
Do you block many people?

Speaker 4 (17:04):
No?

Speaker 1 (17:04):
I don't. I don't usually unless they threaten me. I
don't usually block them. And even then I think it's
just fake. You know, they're just you know, keyboard tough guys,
you know, smartphone tough guys and all that. Uh, here's
the Chief's apologist. I think we have somebody from the
chiefs PR department. He says, B minus on the malad
monologue ahead rights in. Uh, snow wind and rain with

(17:25):
ten degree temperatures and more to do with the five
turnovers and the Mahomes flu or the Kelsey at the
World Series. I guess it didn't affect Russell Wilson. It
only affected Patrick Mahomes. So it's a how that works.
It's crazy. Yes, g Man's in Chicago, says terrific monologue.
Appreciate you not starting off with the Bears. Great to

(17:46):
see Mahomes poop the bed. Gotta say, pageant is better
than sunglasses wearing at night. Justin Fields. I did see that,
and I didn't notice the like the NBC crew was
like they had their kneads on. He's really he's coaching
up Matrix and I'm like, really, okay, Uh, they really
went overtime like he's a coach on the sidelines. I'm like,

(18:08):
did he have did he go out to the Hollywood
Hills the night before when the Bear Bears got the town?
Did he go out there and ski the mountains in
the Hollywood Hills. I don't know what's going on out
there anyway, says Glad. I dumped this organization pathetic ownership.
Gem Managed in Chicago says, I wonder how they put
their pants on there? You go? A late night drug

(18:28):
tester says maybe the chiefs already had their body clock
set the German time, which is only going to be
worse with daylight Savings time ending next week. Yapemi in
Chicago says, Hey, Mallard a plus with some kilbasa on
the side. On that Mallard monologue, Tyson Fury getting better

(18:48):
stick to boxing, Yaphemi says, instead of acting Rocky taking
the gloves off versus Hogan and is more was more
believable than the charade that took place over the weekend. Also,
no words for the Bears other than they make me sick.
Fer Cat in so Cal Rising said, did you catch
the end of the Ravens Cardinals? And yes, yes, one

(19:13):
of the great all time wins for me. Not bad
beats wins for me. Thank you very much. Finally, the
tide is turning on Benny Versus the Penny, my fledgling
TV show. I would like to thank the Cardinals and
the Ravens organization and tremendous job. Ravens had a ten
point lead with a minute left. They stopped the two

(19:35):
point conversions for cat points out and they ended up
recovering the on side kick, but they got a field
goal and covered the number. Good job by the Arizona Cardinals. Yeah, tremendous, tremendous, tremendous.
Kathy in Madison says, please don't block Poppy. I like

(19:58):
the dude. Well, you can still follow Pop, but I
don't need Kathy. You can do whatever you want. But Poppy,
Poppy is just annoying. And I gave him a platform
here on five hundred plus radio stations, and I said, hey,
you've got an opportunity to promote picking with the Chicken

(20:19):
with Abigail, the Chicken, the lovely Abigail, the chicken from
Michigan from a farm in Michigan. I mean, we had
Abigail on and Poppy and it was great, but then
Poppy had f it up. You know, he's ungrateful. That's
what Poppy is. He's ungrateful. We gave him an opportunity, tried.
He tried to do it on his own. That's fine,
do it on your own. No one's watching. It's seven

(20:40):
views on those videos, but do it on your own.
Let's go to the fold. Well, I told you to call,
you didn't call, So now you're being punished. Cowboy Dan
is on the Ben Malors Show on Fox. Hello, Cowboy Dan,
how bad those cowboys?

Speaker 4 (20:57):
Ben?

Speaker 1 (21:00):
That was impressed?

Speaker 4 (21:01):
Thanks for taking my call? Ram it all day, rammit
all night? Wow?

Speaker 1 (21:08):
Really damn? The Rams are just pumping up the tires
on the Cowboys. They decided to take the week off.
They wanted to buy week the Cowboys took like super
Bowl material to mean, what.

Speaker 4 (21:21):
Do you think?

Speaker 1 (21:22):
Yeah, as long as they don't play a good team,
you're right. I don't know if you know this, the Rams.
The Rams are not good. So I don't know if
you know this. Just this just in The Rams suck.

Speaker 4 (21:32):
So I think they were your team. Man.

Speaker 1 (21:36):
Yeah, but unlike you, I'm honest. When they blow, they blow,
and they blow, you don't find Let me tell you
someth right now. You don't fall behind thirty three to
three if you're trying. That was a gutless effort by
the l A Rams embarrassing. Maybe Sean mcvagh should have
taken some mattorney leave and left the team that had
tied to his little child there, because that that looked
like a team that wasn't coached. That's what it looked

(21:58):
like to me. Maybe he was on Matturney leave. McVeigh.
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (22:02):
The Cowboys getting no credit? How about that?

Speaker 1 (22:04):
Now you get no credit? Why would I give the
Cowboys credit? They every good team they play, they lose to.
Why would I give him credit? They lost to the
Cardinals and they and how bad does that Niner loss?

Speaker 2 (22:16):
Look?

Speaker 1 (22:16):
Now, the Niners have lost three games in a row.
How bad does that? You lost to a Niner team
that lost to Cleveland and Minnesota? That's not frank? Why
are you laughing?

Speaker 3 (22:28):
Why?

Speaker 1 (22:28):
Why do you have a diabolical laugh?

Speaker 2 (22:30):
Cowboy?

Speaker 4 (22:30):
Dan Well? I have a question for you. What that
What is Philadelphia's record?

Speaker 1 (22:37):
I don't care what Philadelphia is. They're actually leading the NFC,
But they're gonna play the Cowboys and you're gonna lose
and we won't hear from you when the Cowboys lose,
because I know what you're like, Cowboy Dan. I know
how you operate, and you're no. You be nowhere to
be seen. You will be nowhere to be seen after.

Speaker 4 (22:54):
That game or heard or heard on five station.

Speaker 1 (22:57):
That's right. Nobody will hear from you at all. That's right.
All right, I'm hanging up on you now, go away,
all right, go ahead, hang up, all right, thank you.
It's my material, Cowboy Dan. You can't take my material.
I mean yeah, I stole it from a song back
in the eighties. But you can't. You can't take my material.

(23:17):
It's wrong with you. Hey, you know you should do,
Cowboy Dan, go to the Breeders Cup. We are in
the final stretch to get tickets the horse racing's biggest
moment of the year. The world's best are headed as
Santa Either. The flag is up for the Breeders' Cup
World Championships on November third and fourth. The countdown begins.
Now get tickets today at Breeders Cup dot com. It

(23:37):
is this coming weekend the Breeders Cup. I will be
out there. If you're planning on attending the Breeders Cup.
I will be out there on Friday. I'm not sure
about Saturday. Saturday is the main event, but I think
I'll be out there Friday for some of the festivities
leading up to that main event. How about this for
fatherly fatherly fun? Sakwan Barkley the Giants running back walk

(24:00):
looking out of MetLife Stadium. His father was there, of course,
to support his son, but not really because you see,
Saquon Barkley's dad was decked out in full Jets gear
and was spotted walking out after his his team, the Jets,
beat his son's team.

Speaker 4 (24:18):
What.

Speaker 1 (24:18):
Yeah, that's right. Normally, if you're a parent and your
kid grows up to be a fan of the rival
team of your team, you become a fan of that team.
But Sequon Barkley's father not even pretending like he's a
Giants fan?

Speaker 2 (24:32):
Is he?

Speaker 1 (24:32):
Maybe that was his Halloween costume dressed up in full
Jets Jets gear?

Speaker 2 (24:37):
Am I wrong for thinking that that's kind of cool?

Speaker 1 (24:40):
You respect the fact that his father is Yeah, Saquon
Barkley growing up was a Jets fan too, though, right, Well, yes, yeah.

Speaker 2 (24:50):
I can understand why you didn't have Jets gear on though.

Speaker 1 (24:52):
Yeah, you think he got like he had that on discount.
Saquon Barkley's father got that because the Jets aren't y,
you know, they're mediocre. So maybe get that stuff on
sale or something like that, or he just had it
in his clause. He's like Roberto where he has like
one side of gear for the Dodgers, one side for
the Raiders, one side for the Lakers. Like that kind

(25:12):
of thing.

Speaker 2 (25:12):
Probably, yeah, probably, So.

Speaker 3 (25:14):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.

Speaker 5 (25:20):
Hey, we're Cavino and Rich Fox Sports Radio every day

But here's the thing.

Speaker 5 (25:26):
We never have enough time to get to everything we

Speaker 6 (25:28):
To, and that's why we have a brand new podcast
called over Promised. You see, we're having so much fun
in our two hour show. We never get to everything, honestly,
because this guy is over promising things we never have
time for.

Speaker 1 (25:41):
Yeah, you blubber lit lame in me. Well you know
what it's called over promise. You should be good at
it because you've been over promising women for years.

Speaker 6 (25:47):
Well, it's a Cavino and Rich after show, and we
want you to be a part of it. We're gonna
be talking sports, of course, but we're also gonna talk

about something or we didn't have enough time, it will
continue on our after your show called over Promised.

Speaker 5 (26:01):
Well, if you don't get enough Covino and Rich, make
sure you check out over Promised and also Uncensored by
the way, so maybe.

Speaker 1 (26:07):
We'll go at it even a little harder.

Speaker 5 (26:09):
It's gonna be the best after show podcast of all time.

Speaker 6 (26:11):
There you go, over Promising. Remember you could see it
on YouTube, but definitely join us. Listen to over Promised
with Cavino and Rich on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts
or wherever you get your podcasts.

Speaker 1 (26:23):
So it is a tradition. Every year at about this time,
the same thing happens and it gets bounced all over
the echo chamber of sports media covers. So it has
happened yet again. Adrian Peterson says, I would like to
play in the NFL. I would I'd like a job.
I would like to work somewhere. Hire me. Peterson did
not play in the NFL last season. He last appeared

(26:45):
in a game back in twenty twenty one when he
was thirty six years old. You can do the math
on that. Peterson is now thirty eight years old. The
old ok Lahomas Sooner from back in the day in
a former most Valuable player, and Peterson's like, hey, I
would like to come back to the NFL and I would.

Speaker 2 (27:03):
Love to do this. We know Kaepernicknick does that all
the time.

Speaker 1 (27:07):
He shows the cabinet said this sizzle sizzle video.

Speaker 2 (27:09):
That t O will do this occasionally. He still says
I can still play.

Speaker 1 (27:13):
Yeah, good good luck. I would say all four not
if I'm not mistaken. Last time Peterson played in the NFL,
he wasn't very good. Am I wrong? Am I wrong
in saying that? As I remember him playing. He played
for Tennessee. Remember they picked him up a couple of
years ago and they had high hopes and didn't quite

(27:34):
work out for for Adrian Peterson. He didn't play very
many games, but he didn't play all that well. But hey,
if you need a running back, your team needs a
running back, you can get Adrian Peterson. I thought he
was on a dancing reality show. What happened with that?
Did he get kicked off the dancing show? I don't
watch those things. So I have no idea, but apparently
apparently so, and also multiple reports and I want to

(27:57):
know from I want to hear from you if you
were affected by this. That people were complaining at YouTube
Sunday Ticket. The issue here the stream freezing on the
YouTube nfl TV feed for the Sunday Ticket. They had
major technical issues the buffering of the YouTube Sunday Ticket

(28:21):
and people complaining about data and it was probably a
widespread issue.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
Now.

Speaker 1 (28:26):
Normally, when something like this happens, the Internet companies say
it's your personal Internet that's the problem. They'll claim that
it's your connection, that you're your modem's the problem. But
it happened widespread here. I don't think this was on
the end of the user. This was on the end
of the people at YouTube. But this is an issue,

(28:50):
and we're moving away from traditional television. We've been moving
away from it for years, and so this is going
to be the new the new norm. You're dependent on
the connection working on both ends, and if it doesn't
work on both ends, you got issues. Kind of like
when you say hello to Mark the full name guy

(29:12):
who's in Medford, Oregon. Hello, Mark the full name guy.

Speaker 4 (29:16):
Hello Ben Maller. So the forty nine ers have lost
three games in a row. But I'm more concerned about
Kyles actually putting purty out there when he was in
concussion protocol this week.

Speaker 1 (29:35):
Well, he was cleared according to the forty nine ers.
They claim they cleared him and he was ready to go.

Speaker 4 (29:43):
Imagine that.

Speaker 1 (29:44):
You know, are you saying, are you saying the forty
nine ers medical staff is incompetent and there's malpractice? Is
that the accusation you're making right now? Mark the full
name guy?

Speaker 4 (29:53):
Absolutely?

Speaker 1 (29:55):
With what with what with what evidence? With what evidence?
Are are you throwing that out there? That's such a
horrible claim.

Speaker 4 (30:04):
Well, I believe that the coach has been uh can
cussed for several years and can you coaching?

Speaker 1 (30:15):
So Kyle Shanahan is the problem. That is amazing when
I think of teams in my youth, teams that came
from behind. The San Francisco forty nine ers they did
it a lot when I was a kid of the
Rams growing up, right, and with Shanahan they never come
from behind. It is unbelievable, Like as they've won all
these games and they don't ever come from behind anymore.

(30:37):
How is that possible.

Speaker 4 (30:40):
Sucks period when the late it gave what he has
to actually make game time decisions. He is incompetent, totally.

Speaker 1 (30:52):
Well, he's one of the great front running coaches of
all time.

Speaker 4 (30:54):
Though exactly right now, I hate to say it is
spin Maler because I know you love Bochie, you respect him.

Speaker 2 (31:02):
I do I like.

Speaker 4 (31:04):
However, I would have to say Bochi is also a
great front runner.

Speaker 1 (31:11):
Well, the Rangers are going to win the World Series,
so he could be a front runner all you want.

Speaker 4 (31:16):
His staff at the time in the major leagues the
most underrated pitching staff because they were deep. They had
five pretty good five starters, three of them were excellent,
and they had a deep bullpen. He was a great
front runner. That's not to say he didn't have to
know his pitching staff. I will give him that credit.

Speaker 1 (31:38):
Well, you hated when he managed the Giants. I remember
you calling the Giants postgame show demanding Bochie's removal. I
remember that while they were winning the World Series.

Speaker 4 (31:46):
Time it was time for him to go because he
could not manage job with what he had. He couldn't
make them winners.

Speaker 1 (31:56):
Oh no, I got leave on this. I'm gonna leave
on this. Note mark the full name guy. The forty
nine Ers now have had thirty seven games under Kyle
Shanahan when trailing by eight or more points in the
fourth quarter in the regular season of the playoffs, they
are ohero and thirty seven. They have never come back
from eight points and more down. The Niners have lost

(32:16):
thirty eight straight games altogether, so they won more before Shanahan.
Only the Carolina Panthers have sucked more at clutch football
than the forty nine Ers. It is the Ben Mathers
Show as we roll on time now for the who
am I?

Speaker 3 (32:33):
Game?

Speaker 1 (32:34):

(33:51):
Is just the second forty nine er player since all

to back games with multiple turnovers in the fourth quarter.
Who am I? That is the question. What's the answer,
Willie the mess says Kirk Douglas. Bob Evelini from Rob
in Minnesota. Steve Bono guests by Rory in parts of

(34:12):
Known Bay City. Tony says Cowboy, Dan Reeves page Down,
Ken Dorsey from the Scorpio Niner. Tim Rettay guests by

in San Diego, going with the iconic San Diego Chicken

(34:35):
as that has a better chance of getting on the show,
the San Diego Chicken than Poppy's Chicken. Jeff Garcia from
Voodoo Headline Ty Streets guess by the Late Night drug
tester Tim Ritay from Matt the Warrior Raider A's fan.
Who else do we have? Page down? Alf the Alien
Opiner says me hungover from National Cat Day. That must

(34:58):
be why Alf missed the man on the Fifth Hour

Bruce Springsteen guessed by the Cowboy Killer. That's his answer,
Paige down the page down? Jason Garrett from Sean in
Portland Pay who else? All right? That's enough? Eddie? Do

(35:19):
you have an answer?

Speaker 2 (35:20):
Eddie? Yes, it's former forty nine Ers quarterback Elvis Gerbach.

Speaker 1 (35:24):
Elvis Gerbach. Fin answer, Elvis Gerbach. That is incorrect, though, Eddie.
The correct answer as Brock Purty joining me as just
the second forty nine Er player since nineteen ninety one
to have back to back games with multiple turnovers in
the fourth quarter. Colin Kaepernick. Colin Kaepernick back in twenty thirteen.

(35:46):
Does this mean Brock Purty will start protesting the United
States flag and sue the NFL.

Speaker 3 (35:52):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (35:53):
I have no idea. But Brock Purty and Colin Kaepernick
tied together and multiples pointing out that they did have issues.
Did you have any issues Eddie with your your YouTube
TV NFL?

Speaker 2 (36:07):
Really? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (36:08):
All right, people saying it happened in the early television window,
and they said that that was the issue.

Speaker 2 (36:13):
That I was just watching the crappy Steeler game.

Speaker 1 (36:15):
I didn't watch, So you didn't watch, You just watched
the one game. Yeah, they said it was like every
three minutes there was a report I watched red zone.

Speaker 2 (36:22):
I didn't. I didn't have any problems.

Speaker 1 (36:23):
Yeah, I make my own red zone, but I you know,
I didn't mean too issues there.

Speaker 2 (36:27):
I like to pick not one of my favorite teams
that I just stick to that one.

Speaker 1 (36:30):
But what it was a fun, thrilling game there.

Speaker 2 (36:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (36:33):
Last week we talked about the Hope defense for Jacksonville,
and apparently the Hope defense worked out pretty well for
the Jags.

Speaker 2 (36:39):
There. Yeah, they both were not very it was.

Speaker 1 (36:41):
It was a ugly, not an aesthetically pleasing performance there
at all.

Speaker 2 (36:45):
Of course I was a Steeler fan. I'm used to that.

Speaker 1 (36:48):
Well, well, I have no quarterback these days in Pittsburgh,
zero quarterback. It's hard out that workout there.
