Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our numb par three Surprise, Surprise, surprise.
The Texas and Bengals. The Texans and Bengals playing an
NFL game and Cincinnati sizeable favorite and home. They lose.
Jamar Chase saying after the game, other people gotta make
plays too? Can you decode with the Bengals star meant
(00:21):
by this also is Texans rookie quarterback CJ. Stroud Legitimately
in the ENVP conversation, we'll discuss that. And the Steelers
and Packers, couple of very popular historic franchises played. How
are things looking for Kenny Pickett and the Steelers. They
(00:41):
won the game, but their offense not so good. We'll
talk about that and more right now here. It is
our number three in and out. That's what the playoff
picture is all about for the Cincinnati football team. Well
dumb in the beginning of another hour of the Ben
(01:03):
Malors Show. As we are in the air everywhere, as
we jabber and do the do how do you do?
Coast to coast, border, the border and beyond on the
vast and wonderfully powerful microphones of fs are am monating
live from the waters, the murky waters of the overnight,
(01:25):
we are broadcasting live from the tyrack dot com studios.
Tyrack dot com will help you I get there and
unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free road hazard protection and
over ten thousand recommended and stars. We told us a
lot ty rack dot com the way tire buying shoeb
our lead this hour coming from Cincinnati, and it really
(01:50):
is a case of in and out. One week you're
in and the next week you're out. In terms of
the playoff picture of the Bengals looking to keep the
good times going against the Tech it's a team that
nobody gets up for. And if you saw the TV
show over the weekend, you know this was what's called
the dreaded Sandwich game because the team from Cincinnati had
back to back high profile games, primetime games, big showcase games,
(02:15):
beat the forty nine ers, and beat the Buffalo Bills
in an island game. So then they've got to play
the Texas. Nobody gets up for the Texans, and then
the following week. This next week they play on Thursday
night against the Ravens. So if you're into gambling and
you're into the mental part of it, that's a sandwich game.
It's a game stuck in the middle. And historically that
(02:39):
is the kind of situation where team's underchieved and coaches
know about it, players know about it, everyone's aware of it,
and it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. They still end
up choking on the sandwich, choking on the hogi. And
it happened yet again. If you didn't see the game,
and maybe not, Rookie c Jay Stroud three hundred and
fifty six yard cards passing, had a couple of touchdowns
(03:02):
he accounted for, and he drove Houston down matriculating the
ball down the field on a fifty five yard drive
for the game winning field goal. Houston the stutter from
down under in Ohio as they beat Cincinnati thirty to
twenty seven. And if you look at that jam packed
(03:22):
AFC standings, Cincinnati now knocked out, Houston would be the
last team in. They'd be the last team in. Houston
last team and the Natty Pigskin team drops to five
and four, and so even though they have the same record,
tiebreaker goes to Houston. And following the defeat, Jamar Chase,
who wasn't even supposed to play It looked like he
(03:44):
wouldn't hit a tailbone injury it appeared in the last game.
But play he did. I'm sure he was heavily medicated,
but he played, and he had five catches for one
hundred and twenty four yards and a touchdown. But he
was frustrated. He was annoyed. Following the game, Jamar Chase
how annoyed was he was asked about the inconsistency of
(04:06):
the Cincinnati football team and he said, quote, other people
gotta make plays. Teo. Oh there, people gotta make plays, Teo.
That's the quote. That's also the money quote. So let
us discuss the question on this one. Jamar Chase, star
receiver of the Cincinnati football team, saying, other people gotta
(04:27):
make plays. To decode what the Bengals pass catcher meant
by that. So I've got camouflage, prisoners, and coldplay, and
we will combine all of these things together and we
are going to make some chili that you put over spaghetti,
(04:47):
because that's the local delicacy there in Cincinnati. Now, first
of all, Jamar Chase, he's pointing the finger here, here, here, here, here,
and as always, there's a bunch of finger pointing back
at you. But the first finger is pointing at the defense.
There is no defense. There is no defense in Cincinnati. Now,
(05:11):
the Bengals, if you look at what they did in
this game, they allowed twenty eight first downs and five
hundred and forty four yards of offense to a team
who in the captain's chair was a rookie. A rookie
five hundred forty four yards of offense the for the
Houston Texas and really conducting a workshop on how not
(05:36):
to properly tackle in a professional football game would be
the Cincinnati defense a humiliation situation as they were pullocked
by a rookie. And then you look around and you
start realizing. You look for certain numbers and indicators, key indicators,
and you, like, the Bengals had won a bunch of
(05:58):
games in a row, and I'm excited for since that out,
like Joe Burrow and all that. Joe Bert had a
good game here, but Joe Burrow on the offense, what
they were able to do was camouflage the shortcomings of
the defense, and that finally caught up to them in
this game. And I let me explain further. Cincinnati's defense
had been absolutely rancid. They were like maggots eating at
(06:24):
the core of the Cincinnati defense. That's how bad and
future they have been of late. And we mentioned this
on Benny Versus the Penny, the TV show over the
weekend that even though Cincinnati had won all these games,
I took the Texans on the TV show. That's one
of the games I got right. The reason I did
was because I was betting against the Cincinnati defense, which
(06:46):
was ranked thirtieth in the NFL prior to this game.
Over the last month, Cincinnati defensively ranked thirtieth, allowing three
hundred and eighty seven yards per games. You have a
five hundred and forty four yards in this particular game,
and Jamar Chase also not only calling out the defense,
but I believe he's calling out his other teammate in
the wide receiver room in Cincinnati. If you saw this game.
(07:07):
Late in the game, Joe Burrow through a perfect pass
to Tyler Boyd who was wide open about four maybe
three or maybe three maybe four yards in the end zone.
So Tyler Boyd wide open, professional wide receiver. He turns
to catch the ball, right, he turns to catch the ball,
and the ball, yeah, right through his hands, just like that,
(07:30):
right through his hands and wide open, perfect pass. Dropsis
drops hes down three end up kicking the field goal,
and that with a minute thirty seven to go in
the game, he ended up having to kick the field goal,
and then that left Houston only needing a field goal
to win the game, where if you had scored the touchdown,
you would have been up by four, and then CJ.
(07:51):
Stroud has to get a touchdown to win the game.
It's inexcusable for Boyd to not catch that pass. Yes,
I'd release him if I was the Bengals, but they
probably won't do that. All right now, Uh, next up
the second part of this. Speaking of this particular game,
a lot of chatter the pundits are having a field
(08:13):
day here. Guess who the new darling of the MVP
race in the NFL is ding Ing ing ing n Yes,
I don't believe it either, but is Texans rookie quarterback CJ.
Stroud legitimately in the middle of the MVP conversation. No,
(08:37):
that's gonna be a no on this side of the microphone.
And I like CJ. Stroud. He's played well, but I
am not going to be one of those prisoners of
the Malmon. Not gonna do it now, Stroud right now
is the leader in the clubhouse for offensive Rookie of
the Year honors. It's a nice story. It's a really
nice story. That being said, we're not going on the
(09:00):
train to crazy Town. At least I'm not. He's not
even on my big board for the MVP conversation. He's not.
And there's a large part of it. Houston is a
middling team, and it's nice. They've won a couple games
here late, dramatic wins, wonderful, it's a sexy story. We
like the story. It's a good story. Stroud not the MVP.
(09:24):
He won't he won't come close to winning the MVP.
Does any comeback great and all that stuff. Keep in mind, though,
in the second half of this game, CJ. Stroud actually
didn't play that well. Most of the damage was done
early in the game. In the second half, c J.
Stroud had a passer rating below sixty or below sixty three,
i should say, in the second half, which is not
(09:45):
not particularly great, and so we can go break that
down even more. But congratulations on the win, But keep
in mind, Houston also lost to Carolina. That's the only
win Carolina has and Stroud was terrible in that game
in terms of getting points on the board for the
Texans offense. And that was just three weeks ago. See
how many people have amnesia. They cover the NFL, theyre
(10:08):
oh yeah, here's the MVP lost of Carolina, the worst
team in football. Final fly headline Pittsburg, PA. Where the
Steelers the Yinsers. They're doing it again. A couple of
national fan bases here the Packers. There's stockholders of the
Packers all over the place, Steeler fans all over the
(10:30):
place with the terrible towels. And Jalen war and Nase
Davenport are just Naji Harris rather Davenport. This is not
what does mean with old names. It's lack of sleep anyway.
But I am heavily caffeinated, all right, Nagie Harris with
a big day. They combined for one hundred and eighty
three yards and a couple of touchdowns, and the Steelers
(10:52):
end up winning this game twenty three to nineteen. They
covered the number. If you're a gambler, they were favored
by three and a half. Many people said, there's no
way that the Steelers should be favored by three and
a half. They usually win by three or less, and
there were some things that broke our way here in
this game, Pittsburgh end up they winning the game. There's
six and three. The Steelers are the number five seed
(11:14):
at this moment. If you look at your AFC big board,
they are number five in the matchup board. There, Green
Bay drops to three and six. They had shots late
in the game. But the story here is about the
Steels because they actually have a chance as a playoff team.
They've won six games, so they're right in the middle
of the AFC playoff picture despite having a just morbid offense.
(11:38):
So the question how are things looking for Kenny Pickett
and the Pittsburgh offensive unit?
Speaker 2 (11:45):
There?
Speaker 1 (11:46):
And the Steelers are winning in spite of Picket, not
because of him. That continues to be an issue. And
Kenny Pickett, I know Steeler fans don't want to admit this,
but he's an albatross.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
He is.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
He's there. There's Zach Wilson. He's there. There's they're winning,
but he's there, Zach Wilson. And and it's like the
the Coldplay tune from years ago. We never change, he
never changes. He's a liability and he's he's been a liability.
He continues to be a liability in Pittsburgh and consistently
(12:19):
mid and in this game he wasn't even in the middle.
He was less than that. And Mike Tomlin can defend
him and spin this and say there's no other options
and all that, but it doesn't doesn't take away from
the fact that he's not going to get it done
when it matters in in a situation against a good
team in a playoff environment. He's spend it any one anyway.
(12:42):
What I mean proof is in the in the putting
here at Pikett, he's essentially at whoever you think the
standard for bad quarterback plays. I think it's Zach Wilson,
but maybe you're you're you're on another team there, you
think Tyler bageitt Uh from the Bears, who's a backup?
But whatever the case, I am every pass. I watched
this seither game, so I was watching it on my computer,
(13:04):
and every pass is either like behind the line of
scrimmage or within five yards of the line of scrimmage.
What does that tell you? That tells you that either
A he can't throw the ball downfield, or b the
coaching staff has no confidence in him throwing the ball
down the field. Therefore, everything is a rudimentary pass. And
he still saw. He still stinks even throwing the ball
(13:24):
within five yards either behind the line of scrimmage or
five yards to ten yards ahead of the line of
scrimmage and just not chucking it down the field. And
so Steelers are one. They don't even have great numbers defensively,
but they've been able to win games. Kind of reminds
you of the Giants last season that we're a smoking
mirror's team and then they were eventually exposed. And see
(13:46):
these teams, the Vikings last year, we're a smoking mirror's
team where the numbers did not indicate they should have
that many wins, and they did. And normally the dead
weight drops on top of you. And that's that. It
is the benow. If you'd like to comment on any
of that, you can join us here and be part
of the program. Lines are open, Speakeasy rules are in effect.
(14:09):
So if you know number, if you know the number,
called up, scream, shot, yell, all that stuff. We'll get
you on the here. Later this hour we have the

And here is the Mallor Riddle of the Day, a
blatant attempt to get you to listen longer. We are
into every gimmick we can possibly do here on this show.
Here's the Riddle of Day. Minnesota's josh Dobbs Joshua Dobbs
was stunned by the blank during his home debut that
(16:52):
is the mallor riddle of the day. What is the answer?
Sean in Portland says, stone cold Steve Austin, He's the answer.
Clam says, stunned he was still playing quarterback in the NFL.
Ferg Dog formerly known as Ferg Cat formerly known as
Ferg Dog back to Ferg Dog says stunned by the
goofy way people talk in Minnesota. It's called Minnesota nice.
(17:18):
Ferg Dog Asher says. The latest episode of Benny Versus
the Penny Amazing Amazing TV late night drug testa says.
The lack of Juicy Lucy carts outside the stad Yeah,
that's a bad job by the folks in Minnesota. Like
you gotta have you know, you know, Lucy Lucy Lucy,
Like like you the hot dog, Hot Talk Lucy Lucy
(17:39):
Lucy and all that. It make a lot of money
selling the Juicy Lucy's outside the stadium. Fudgie says the
answer was Joshua Dobs stunned that another team actually hired him.
Matt the Warrior Raider fan says, LA motorists need our advice.
Oh that's right, yeah, yeah, big highway here in La
(18:01):
the ten downtown. But I have a story. I don't
I don't have time to tell now I'll tell I'll
save it for later. But crazy story about.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
The governor declared a state of emergency.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Alaskause they could have to. Well, it's the busiest highway
in the world and it's completely closed in one portion.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
The biggest it's the busiest in the world.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Is more traffic on the ten Freeway in that part
of Los Angeles than any other highway in the world.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
What's stunning.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
I know, it's also going to be studying what happens
on Monday morning. It's also going to be stunning. Anyway,
that was a big fire over the weekend and literally
they rented out This is a great idea, the city
of La They rented out underneath the freeway to a
company to put wood planks, and a homeless person decided
they wanted to set a little fire to warm up.
(18:47):
And what do you think happened? Burn, baby, burn, They
burned the whole freeway up. Just wonderful. Yeah, there was
remember on nine ninety five and on the East coast.
This happened a couple months ago where there was a fire.
There was like a big rig accent. Remember this big
rig accent on nine ninety five near and I want
to say it's near DC and the highway was closed also,
(19:09):
they had to repair it for a few weeks. And
I'm getting carried away. I would just do the answer,
do you do you have an answer to the mall
or a riddle of the day? And again it's Minnesota's
Joshua Dobbs stunned by the blank during his home debut.
Was it the skull chant Ednie? That is correct, it
was the skull chat He was stunned by the sculptor.
(19:29):
What is that? Yes, he couldn't figure it out. It
makes no sense. Dobbs also needed help. I don't think
this is that outrigeous. He needed help finding the Viking
locker room. Like I wouldn't know where the Viking locker
room is if I was showing up to the stadium
for the first time. A yeah, exactly. So anyway, the
(19:49):
skull chant was the answer. Let's go to the phones.
I had to look at my my data is this
is this lame joke? So we're doing lame Let's go
to Miami right now, weed man.
Speaker 5 (20:02):
Only it's not a joke.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Are you what my life is?
Speaker 5 (20:06):
In a joke. It's unbelievable. Two nights ago it rains
so hard. All my cowels that I sleep on on
the beach got wet. And then last night were two nights.
Last night I lost night when somebody put my phone.
(20:28):
I had to buy a new phone.

He'd been with the Astro the.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Chief cheater, Eddie, the King of the cheaters.

No managerial experience for him. And in the NHL, the
Edmonton Oilers fired their head coach Jay Woodcroft after three
to nine and one start two seasons on the job.
He at a record seventy nine forty one thirteen made
the playoffs each year. Now it's Chris Noblock as the coach.
Not sure about that. He's never been an NHL head
coach before.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Chris nob Block. That's not a common last name, is
it not Block? I don't know. I've never known n
Block personally, Chuck no Block. He couldn't throw. He played
for the Yankees and the Twins. I remember Chuck no
block as and Chris knob Block forty five from Saskatchewan, Canada.
(27:13):
Is that correct?
Speaker 2 (27:14):
I believe sure. I'd never heard of him before he
got hired for this.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
He coached the Eerie Otters.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Yes, he he coached Connor McDavid and juniors.
Speaker 1 (27:23):

Hello and welcome. It's our numb par three Surprise, Surprise, surprise.
The Texas and Bengals. The Texans and Bengals playing an
NFL game and Cincinnati sizeable favorite and home. They lose.
Jamar Chase saying after the game, other people gotta make
plays too? Can you decode with the Bengals star meant
(00:21):
by this also is Texans rookie quarterback CJ. Stroud Legitimately
in the ENVP conversation, we'll discuss that. And the Steelers
and Packers, couple of very popular historic franchises played. How
are things looking for Kenny Pickett and the Steelers. They
(00:41):
won the game, but their offense not so good. We'll
talk about that and more right now here. It is
our number three in and out. That's what the playoff
picture is all about for the Cincinnati football team. Well
dumb in the beginning of another hour of the Ben
(01:03):
Malors Show. As we are in the air everywhere, as
we jabber and do the do how do you do?
Coast to coast, border, the border and beyond on the
vast and wonderfully powerful microphones of fs are am monating
live from the waters, the murky waters of the overnight,
(01:25):
we are broadcasting live from the tyrack dot com studios.
Tyrack dot com will help you I get there and
unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free road hazard protection and
over ten thousand recommended and stars. We told us a
lot ty rack dot com the way tire buying shoeb
our lead this hour coming from Cincinnati, and it really
(01:50):
is a case of in and out. One week you're
in and the next week you're out. In terms of
the playoff picture of the Bengals looking to keep the
good times going against the Tech it's a team that
nobody gets up for. And if you saw the TV
show over the weekend, you know this was what's called
the dreaded Sandwich game because the team from Cincinnati had
back to back high profile games, primetime games, big showcase games,
(02:15):
beat the forty nine ers, and beat the Buffalo Bills
in an island game. So then they've got to play
the Texas. Nobody gets up for the Texans, and then
the following week. This next week they play on Thursday
night against the Ravens. So if you're into gambling and
you're into the mental part of it, that's a sandwich game.
It's a game stuck in the middle. And historically that
(02:39):
is the kind of situation where team's underchieved and coaches
know about it, players know about it, everyone's aware of it,
and it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. They still end
up choking on the sandwich, choking on the hogi. And
it happened yet again. If you didn't see the game,
and maybe not, Rookie c Jay Stroud three hundred and
fifty six yard cards passing, had a couple of touchdowns
(03:02):
he accounted for, and he drove Houston down matriculating the
ball down the field on a fifty five yard drive
for the game winning field goal. Houston the stutter from
down under in Ohio as they beat Cincinnati thirty to
twenty seven. And if you look at that jam packed
(03:22):
AFC standings, Cincinnati now knocked out, Houston would be the
last team in. They'd be the last team in. Houston
last team and the Natty Pigskin team drops to five
and four, and so even though they have the same record,
tiebreaker goes to Houston. And following the defeat, Jamar Chase,
who wasn't even supposed to play It looked like he
(03:44):
wouldn't hit a tailbone injury it appeared in the last game.
But play he did. I'm sure he was heavily medicated,
but he played, and he had five catches for one
hundred and twenty four yards and a touchdown. But he
was frustrated. He was annoyed. Following the game, Jamar Chase
how annoyed was he was asked about the inconsistency of
(04:06):
the Cincinnati football team and he said, quote, other people
gotta make plays. Teo. Oh there, people gotta make plays, Teo.
That's the quote. That's also the money quote. So let
us discuss the question on this one. Jamar Chase, star
receiver of the Cincinnati football team, saying, other people gotta
(04:27):
make plays. To decode what the Bengals pass catcher meant
by that. So I've got camouflage, prisoners, and coldplay, and
we will combine all of these things together and we
are going to make some chili that you put over spaghetti,
(04:47):
because that's the local delicacy there in Cincinnati. Now, first
of all, Jamar Chase, he's pointing the finger here, here, here, here, here,
and as always, there's a bunch of finger pointing back
at you. But the first finger is pointing at the defense.
There is no defense. There is no defense in Cincinnati. Now,
(05:11):
the Bengals, if you look at what they did in
this game, they allowed twenty eight first downs and five
hundred and forty four yards of offense to a team
who in the captain's chair was a rookie. A rookie
five hundred forty four yards of offense the for the
Houston Texas and really conducting a workshop on how not
(05:36):
to properly tackle in a professional football game would be
the Cincinnati defense a humiliation situation as they were pullocked
by a rookie. And then you look around and you
start realizing. You look for certain numbers and indicators, key indicators,
and you, like, the Bengals had won a bunch of
(05:58):
games in a row, and I'm excited for since that out,
like Joe Burrow and all that. Joe Bert had a
good game here, but Joe Burrow on the offense, what
they were able to do was camouflage the shortcomings of
the defense, and that finally caught up to them in
this game. And I let me explain further. Cincinnati's defense
had been absolutely rancid. They were like maggots eating at
(06:24):
the core of the Cincinnati defense. That's how bad and
future they have been of late. And we mentioned this
on Benny Versus the Penny, the TV show over the
weekend that even though Cincinnati had won all these games,
I took the Texans on the TV show. That's one
of the games I got right. The reason I did
was because I was betting against the Cincinnati defense, which
(06:46):
was ranked thirtieth in the NFL prior to this game.
Over the last month, Cincinnati defensively ranked thirtieth, allowing three
hundred and eighty seven yards per games. You have a
five hundred and forty four yards in this particular game,
and Jamar Chase also not only calling out the defense,
but I believe he's calling out his other teammate in
the wide receiver room in Cincinnati. If you saw this game.
(07:07):
Late in the game, Joe Burrow through a perfect pass
to Tyler Boyd who was wide open about four maybe
three or maybe three maybe four yards in the end zone.
So Tyler Boyd wide open, professional wide receiver. He turns
to catch the ball, right, he turns to catch the ball,
and the ball, yeah, right through his hands, just like that,
(07:30):
right through his hands and wide open, perfect pass. Dropsis
drops hes down three end up kicking the field goal,
and that with a minute thirty seven to go in
the game, he ended up having to kick the field goal,
and then that left Houston only needing a field goal
to win the game, where if you had scored the touchdown,
you would have been up by four, and then CJ.
(07:51):
Stroud has to get a touchdown to win the game.
It's inexcusable for Boyd to not catch that pass. Yes,
I'd release him if I was the Bengals, but they
probably won't do that. All right now, Uh, next up
the second part of this. Speaking of this particular game,
a lot of chatter the pundits are having a field
(08:13):
day here. Guess who the new darling of the MVP
race in the NFL is ding Ing ing ing n Yes,
I don't believe it either, but is Texans rookie quarterback CJ.
Stroud legitimately in the middle of the MVP conversation. No,
(08:37):
that's gonna be a no on this side of the microphone.
And I like CJ. Stroud. He's played well, but I
am not going to be one of those prisoners of
the Malmon. Not gonna do it now, Stroud right now
is the leader in the clubhouse for offensive Rookie of
the Year honors. It's a nice story. It's a really
nice story. That being said, we're not going on the
(09:00):
train to crazy Town. At least I'm not. He's not
even on my big board for the MVP conversation. He's not.
And there's a large part of it. Houston is a
middling team, and it's nice. They've won a couple games
here late, dramatic wins, wonderful, it's a sexy story. We
like the story. It's a good story. Stroud not the MVP.
(09:24):
He won't he won't come close to winning the MVP.
Does any comeback great and all that stuff. Keep in mind, though,
in the second half of this game, CJ. Stroud actually
didn't play that well. Most of the damage was done
early in the game. In the second half, c J.
Stroud had a passer rating below sixty or below sixty three,
i should say, in the second half, which is not
(09:45):
not particularly great, and so we can go break that
down even more. But congratulations on the win, But keep
in mind, Houston also lost to Carolina. That's the only
win Carolina has and Stroud was terrible in that game
in terms of getting points on the board for the
Texans offense. And that was just three weeks ago. See
how many people have amnesia. They cover the NFL, theyre
(10:08):
oh yeah, here's the MVP lost of Carolina, the worst
team in football. Final fly headline Pittsburg, PA. Where the
Steelers the Yinsers. They're doing it again. A couple of
national fan bases here the Packers. There's stockholders of the
Packers all over the place, Steeler fans all over the
(10:30):
place with the terrible towels. And Jalen war and Nase
Davenport are just Naji Harris rather Davenport. This is not
what does mean with old names. It's lack of sleep anyway.
But I am heavily caffeinated, all right, Nagie Harris with
a big day. They combined for one hundred and eighty
three yards and a couple of touchdowns, and the Steelers
(10:52):
end up winning this game twenty three to nineteen. They
covered the number. If you're a gambler, they were favored
by three and a half. Many people said, there's no
way that the Steelers should be favored by three and
a half. They usually win by three or less, and
there were some things that broke our way here in
this game, Pittsburgh end up they winning the game. There's
six and three. The Steelers are the number five seed
(11:14):
at this moment. If you look at your AFC big board,
they are number five in the matchup board. There, Green
Bay drops to three and six. They had shots late
in the game. But the story here is about the
Steels because they actually have a chance as a playoff team.
They've won six games, so they're right in the middle
of the AFC playoff picture despite having a just morbid offense.
(11:38):
So the question how are things looking for Kenny Pickett
and the Pittsburgh offensive unit?
Speaker 2 (11:45):
There?
Speaker 1 (11:46):
And the Steelers are winning in spite of Picket, not
because of him. That continues to be an issue. And
Kenny Pickett, I know Steeler fans don't want to admit this,
but he's an albatross.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
He is.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
He's there. There's Zach Wilson. He's there. There's they're winning,
but he's there, Zach Wilson. And and it's like the
the Coldplay tune from years ago. We never change, he
never changes. He's a liability and he's he's been a liability.
He continues to be a liability in Pittsburgh and consistently
(12:19):
mid and in this game he wasn't even in the middle.
He was less than that. And Mike Tomlin can defend
him and spin this and say there's no other options
and all that, but it doesn't doesn't take away from
the fact that he's not going to get it done
when it matters in in a situation against a good
team in a playoff environment. He's spend it any one anyway.
(12:42):
What I mean proof is in the in the putting
here at Pikett, he's essentially at whoever you think the
standard for bad quarterback plays. I think it's Zach Wilson,
but maybe you're you're you're on another team there, you
think Tyler bageitt Uh from the Bears, who's a backup?
But whatever the case, I am every pass. I watched
this seither game, so I was watching it on my computer,
(13:04):
and every pass is either like behind the line of
scrimmage or within five yards of the line of scrimmage.
What does that tell you? That tells you that either
A he can't throw the ball downfield, or b the
coaching staff has no confidence in him throwing the ball
down the field. Therefore, everything is a rudimentary pass. And
he still saw. He still stinks even throwing the ball
(13:24):
within five yards either behind the line of scrimmage or
five yards to ten yards ahead of the line of
scrimmage and just not chucking it down the field. And
so Steelers are one. They don't even have great numbers defensively,
but they've been able to win games. Kind of reminds
you of the Giants last season that we're a smoking
mirror's team and then they were eventually exposed. And see
(13:46):
these teams, the Vikings last year, we're a smoking mirror's
team where the numbers did not indicate they should have
that many wins, and they did. And normally the dead
weight drops on top of you. And that's that. It
is the benow. If you'd like to comment on any
of that, you can join us here and be part
of the program. Lines are open, Speakeasy rules are in effect.

The lack of Juicy Lucy carts outside the stad Yeah,
that's a bad job by the folks in Minnesota. Like
you gotta have you know, you know, Lucy Lucy Lucy,
Like like you the hot dog, Hot Talk Lucy Lucy
(17:39):
Lucy and all that. It make a lot of money
selling the Juicy Lucy's outside the stadium. Fudgie says the
answer was Joshua Dobs stunned that another team actually hired him.
Matt the Warrior Raider fan says, LA motorists need our advice.
Oh that's right, yeah, yeah, big highway here in La
(18:01):
the ten downtown. But I have a story. I don't
I don't have time to tell now I'll tell I'll
save it for later. But crazy story about.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
The governor declared a state of emergency.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Alaskause they could have to. Well, it's the busiest highway
in the world and it's completely closed in one portion.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
The biggest it's the busiest in the world.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Is more traffic on the ten Freeway in that part
of Los Angeles than any other highway in the world.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
What's stunning.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
I know, it's also going to be studying what happens
on Monday morning. It's also going to be stunning. Anyway,
that was a big fire over the weekend and literally
they rented out This is a great idea, the city
of La They rented out underneath the freeway to a
company to put wood planks, and a homeless person decided
they wanted to set a little fire to warm up.
(18:47):
And what do you think happened? Burn, baby, burn, They
burned the whole freeway up. Just wonderful. Yeah, there was
remember on nine ninety five and on the East coast.
This happened a couple months ago where there was a fire.
There was like a big rig accent. Remember this big
rig accent on nine ninety five near and I want
to say it's near DC and the highway was closed also,
(19:09):
they had to repair it for a few weeks. And
I'm getting carried away. I would just do the answer,
do you do you have an answer to the mall
or a riddle of the day? And again it's Minnesota's
Joshua Dobbs stunned by the blank during his home debut.
Was it the skull chant Ednie? That is correct, it
was the skull chat He was stunned by the sculptor.
(19:29):
What is that? Yes, he couldn't figure it out. It
makes no sense. Dobbs also needed help. I don't think
this is that outrigeous. He needed help finding the Viking
locker room. Like I wouldn't know where the Viking locker
room is if I was showing up to the stadium
for the first time. A yeah, exactly. So anyway, the
(19:49):
skull chant was the answer. Let's go to the phones.
I had to look at my my data is this
is this lame joke? So we're doing lame Let's go
to Miami right now, weed man.
Speaker 5 (20:02):
Only it's not a joke.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Are you what my life is?
Speaker 5 (20:06):
In a joke. It's unbelievable. Two nights ago it rains
so hard. All my cowels that I sleep on on
the beach got wet. And then last night were two nights.
Last night I lost night when somebody put my phone.
(20:28):
I had to buy a new phone.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
How did you buy a phone? You're already money.
Speaker 5 (20:33):
I know I have money. I had two hundred dollars
for a phone. I have four hundred dollars to pay
a month for a place to stay. I need a
place to say, a part of Melitia. I wish somebody.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
How about this? I got an idea for you, weed man,
I think you can make some money. How about an
OnlyFans account? What do you think peop would pay money
a weed Man only fans account?
Speaker 2 (21:03):
What do you think?
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Now?
Speaker 2 (21:06):
What kind of there?
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Well? I know what sells only.
Speaker 2 (21:11):

Speaker 5 (21:16):
This is the craziest place to most.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
No listen though, weed Man, I know you're down on
your luck right now. But have you gone back to
the people that gave you the home before and said, listen,
I screwed up, but I won't screw up again. How
about why don't you go to the money, Just go
to the next city over. Maybe the next city doesn't
know that you've screwed up, and maybe they'll give you
a place. What's the next fort? Go to Fort Lauderdale.
(21:40):
Maybe they they'll hook you up.
Speaker 5 (21:43):
Weed man, hit your emails.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Man, apartment email a little bit apartment.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Do you think somebody who just happens to be awake
here in the middle of the night, is this going
to give you an apartment? No?
Speaker 5 (21:58):
I found out last time last week, one person send.
Speaker 6 (22:04):
Me twenty dollars.
Speaker 5 (22:05):
I thought maybe one hundred people would send twenty dollars.
Then I could maybe get a place from two thousand
oh one of the persons Shame me fifty Shame.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
That person. That person's a schmuck. That's not very nice.
That So we give two guesses. Who did that? Did
you live in Ohio?
Speaker 4 (22:37):
Now?
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Wa man, listen, how about this week? How many thruss
you the math? How many people? If we can get
everyone to send fifty cents, how many how many people
would have to send fifty cent.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Bet I mean for fifty cents. I'm in for fifty.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Cents in two but how many? Didever we all do it.
Let's do some math on. Let me get my calculator,
you know, so fifty times, all right, fifty times. Uh,
let's see fifty five hundred.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
So that would be uh.
