Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go. It's our number four. Hour four is
knocking at your audio door. We thank you for supporting
the podcast. Now, I often say on the live show
that the people that listen live have an advantage because
they get to be interactive to the live show. But
you who listen to the podcast, you have your own
advantage fewer commercials. You have fewer commercials to listen to,
(00:21):
and so that means the show goes by quicker. So
here an hour number four.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Do you believe.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Patrick mahomes pursuit of Tom Brady's legend has now been
derailed because Kansas City went belly up and Mahomes was
terrible in the Super Bowl. Also, how do you explain
a dud of a matchup not competitive? Super Bowl fifty
nine between the Chiefs and Eagles being the most watched
in history. Also, what does Cliff Kingsbury turning down the
(00:48):
Saints job tell us the Washington Offensive Guru. We'll talk
about all that and more right now, have a wonderful Tuesday.
It's the eleventh day of February. We thank you for
listening to podcast and supporting the show. And here it
is our number four. It is Pendamonium Post Super Bowl
(01:10):
fifty nine. Welcome in the beginning of another hour of
the Ben Mather Show.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
We are in the air everywhere, fireside chatting as we
work on the old balance sheet, coast to coast, border
to bort and beyond on the vast and unforgettably powerful
microphones of FSR ammating live.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
From the roach We hang in the cockroach castle right now.
There are hundreds of cockroaches in the ceiling here around
the building. We're broadcasting live from the ty rack dot
Com studios. Tyraqt dot Com will help you get there
in unmatched selection, fast, free ship, free, road hazard protection
and over ten thousand recommended in stars and O. JT
(02:06):
the Wingman a big fan of that. He's gonna eventually
go to ten thousand Mallor meet and greets. We have
no scheduled Malor meet and greets yet this year, but
JT I know he'll be there whenever we schedule one.
Tire rack dot Com the Way Tire Buying show me
so story last night we talked about earlier. It'll be
up on the podcast later. Lukeka all this excitement national
(02:30):
TV for his debut, and man it was impressive, But
what fifty point. No, he didn't have fifty forty. No,
he didn't have forty thirty five, Right, Luke could put
up thirty five for the Lakers and his debut against
the Jazz. Now, thirty thirty points, that's the number. Nope,
not thirty, not twenty five, twenty No, No, how about fifteen?
(02:59):
Did he did Luca? Fifteen? Yeah? They play the worst team,
the Jazz. Come on, No, didn't even get fifteen. Luke
had fourteen points, fourteen points in his Laker debut. And
podcaster JJ Reddick, who's masquerading as the Laker coach there
podcast Reddick feeding the n Nico Harrison conspiracy there that
(03:23):
Luca was on a minutes restriction, apparently because he's out
of shape. All right, But our lead this hour is
not from that. It is the post mortem on the
dud heard round the football world super Bowl fifteen to nine.
It is now dun Skis, as you know. And the
one story that still has legs more than any other
(03:44):
story is the amount of celebration that has taking place
as people are literally in jobs like the one I
have and the other media jobs, they're holding shovels as
they're digging holes to Barry, Andy Reid, and Patrick Mahomes
(04:05):
in the echo chamber of sports conversation. I don't know
if you've been consuming any of this content. Maybe not.
Now I thought this was contained to Boston Patriot fans rejoicing.
But it's not just the Patriot fans. There is a
cross the board celebration. Sell break good times, Sell break
(04:27):
good times. Now, Mahomes absolutely had a clunker. It was
embarrassed watching Mahomes out there as he fetched around on
the field in that blowout loss to Philadelphia. So this
has led to a dog pile, a dog pile from
the punnits, a lot of I told you so, he
(04:49):
was never that good. You've got Poindexter's digging out some
kind of random factoid, some kind of stat that ends
any kind of debate about whether Mahomes can ever catch
Tom Brady. That seems to be the main point of
focus in all this. People taking shots at Andy Reid also,
(05:09):
but Tom Brady because and this is the consensus by
many of these geniuses that Tom Brady no longer has
to worry, he no longer has to look over his
shoulder because of the way Mahomes played in that Super
Bowl and the blowout loss of Kansas City, that his
records are secure forever and ever and ever and ever,
(05:32):
that Tom Brady does not have to worry about Mahomes
bird dog in him for the greatest of all time conversation.
And so that stinker ended that chatter. So let's discuss
the question, do you believe that Patrick mahomes pursuit of
Tom Brady's historical perch among the all time greats? The
(05:58):
legend of Tom Brady has been derailed? Is it now derailed?
Mahomes chasing Tom Brady. So I've got pepsi, tabernacle, and lipstick,
and we will combine all of these three random things
together and we are going to make a solid, solid
(06:18):
TV chef. Because I remember when those TV chefs started
and I was like, oh, that's kind of a unique thing.
And now they're everywhere, Like there's a million TV chefs,
and now there's like the social media chefs. Everyone's got
everyone's a chef. It's fascinating, all right. So to answer
the question, do you believe that Patrick mahomes pursuit of
Tom Brady's legend has been derailed?
Speaker 2 (06:42):
No?
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Absolutely not. Oh that's not the popular opinion. Ben you
can't say that. What's wrong with you? I have consumed something.
I sleep during the day. A lot of these big
time gas bags that get paid a lot of money
worked during the day. I'm not awake. But from what
I've heard and the clips you idiots have sent me,
you know who you are. Did you see what they said? Yeah?
(07:07):
I clicked on some of those links you send me.
Not all of them, but I click on some of them.
It is the most absurd overreaction that you could possibly have.
It's very predictable. Everyone's going down to Walmart the supercenter
and they're like, hey, can I get my hands on
that Mahomes pinata. You get a swing, you get a swing,
(07:28):
You get a swing, You get a swing, you get
a swing. Everyone. But this is what's known as being
a prisoner of the moment. And I understand, you have
to do the show right now, you have to do
the show today. I get that. I say that all
the time. But recency bias is also a thing here.
And Patrick Mahomes, I will completely agree with you. Mahomes
went out there, he did his own infomercial, and I
(07:51):
love infomercial I do overnights. This is when the infomercials
are on. In fact, there's one right now with Emil
selling some kind of cooking device right now doing an infomercial.
I don't want to buy it. But here's the thing,
all right, Patrick Mahomes did his own infomercial, Set It
and forget It for his item, the barfe Matic. He
went out there and barfed all over the field. So
(08:13):
I get that. I understand that deserves criticism, and he's
getting plenty of criticism. But I was taught years ago
that you're never as good as everyone thinks you are
when you're winning, and you're never as bad as everyone
says you are when you suck and you lose. So
spoiler alert, I'm going to take out a can of
pepsi and I'm going to do my own pepsi challenge,
(08:34):
is what I'm going to do right now, blind side
by side test of Mahomes and Brady. And you're not
going to like the evidence because the evidence is still
rock solid in favor of Mahomes because you're looking at
(08:55):
Brady through the prism of his entire career. We know
what happened to Tom Brady. We all lived it, we
saw it, it played out in front of our eyes.
Mahomes is still at the typewriter. He's typing up his manuscript.
He's about halfway in. So the way you judge this
is all right. Mahomes Brady through age twenty nine. That's
(09:20):
the challenge. So lewis side by side. Mahomes now has
been to five Super Bowls before the age of thirty.
Tom Brady went to three Super Bowls before the age
of thirty, So using malarmath, that's plus two in favor
of Mahomes. Now, Mahomes has three Super Bowl titles. Brady
had three super Bowl titles, so that's even. But Mahomes
(09:43):
has the advantage because he's been the more Super Bowls.
Mahomes won three super Bowl MVPs, Brady won two. That's
advantage Mahomes. Mahomes has won a couple of regular season
MVP awards. We're doing the PEPSI challenge here. Brady Tom Brady,
by age twenty nine had not won a single regular
(10:03):
season Most Valuable Player award. That's another check in favor
of Patrick Mahomes. Tom Brady won his first MVP award
at age thirty three. Patrick Mahomes has several more seasons
to go. Before he gets to that point. The question,
this is ultimately the question. We don't know the answer.
I can look into my crystal ball. But if you
(10:25):
look at Mahomes and you say, is he going to
play another ten years? Okay, but he'd have to play
another fifteen years. Tom Brady played from his age twenty
nine age thirty season on. He played from age thirty
to age forty five, so he played fourteen more seasons,
so he's got a head start on that. And in
(10:46):
those fourteen seasons after that, he won four more Super Bowls,
three with the Patriots and one with Tampa Bay. Three
super Bowl MVPs after the age of thirty, two regular
season MVPs after the age of thirty. So let's say
Mahomes doesn't do quite as well. Let's say he only
wins one more regular season MVP award, so he'll be
(11:07):
even with Brady in that. Let's say he only wins
one more Super Bowl MVP, he'll be even with Brady
in that. Kansas City is as long as Mahomes is there,
they're going to be back in the conversation every single year.
And you might not want to admit that. There's a
lot of idiots that are it's over, It's all over.
They're done doneees, No, no, they're not. Now it's going
(11:29):
to be more interesting with Mahomes because he's going to
have to win with Kelsey gone. Kelsey will go out
and be a dancer with Taylor Swift and that'll be
his life. So they'll have to replace Kelsey and Andy Reid.
As much as we'd love to see Handy coach, as
long as Mahomes around, the math ain't math. And on
Andy Reid, right, you look at his age and you say,
Mahomes going to play another fifteen years, Well, Andy Reid'll
(11:52):
be in his eighties by then if he's lucky enough
to make it, so good luck on that. Now, furthermore,
we move away from that, we go to the land
of television. Now, this guy I work with on the
TV show says TV people are more important people because
they're TV people. So TV is very essential. In fact,
it's the fuel that drives all of sport television. All
(12:14):
of the athletes make ridiculous money because of TV. It's
not because of social media's because of TV. So it
is now estimating that Super Bowl fifty nine had one
hundred and twenty six million men, women, and children watching
the Chiefs and Eagles one hundred and twenty six million,
the highest viewership for the biggest stage of them all
(12:39):
in American sports. And so one hundred and twenty six
million people. So how do you explain Super Bowl fifty nine,
which at one point was thirty for nothing? Thirty for nothing?
How do you explain the Chiefs and Egles being the
most watched game in the history of that event. So
the obvious thing here, what you don't need me to
(13:01):
tell you is it's part of the zeitgeist of America,
and it's not so much about the game. I have
relatives of mine that don't have the sports gene, they're
not into sports, and they watch it because of the commercials.
I talked about how I was touched by that John
Denver song, right the rocket commercial from yesterday. It really
(13:22):
got to me. And all that the people watch for
the commercials. Yeah, all about that. So it's also like
a religious event, or maybe not really. Maybe Thanksgiving is
more like it's not religious per se, but it's the
tabernacle of a football or statue of liberty. Here that
line on the statue of liberty that always gets repeated.
(13:43):
Give me, you're tired, you're poor, Your huddled masses yearning
to breathe free and smell pigskin in the air everywhere,
but not everyone was watching. It is a communal event.
I'm always fascinated by the math on this. So based
on the math, how many Americans are watching one hundred
and twenty six million? How many people live in America?
(14:04):
A three hundred and thirty three million, it's estimated. It's
a lot of people. So thirty seven point eight percent
of our brothers and sisters here in America were watching
the super Bowl. That means if you do the math
on that, two hundred seven million people were not watching
the Super Bowl. What were they doing? What were they
(14:25):
doing on Sunday? Did they watch the Puppy Bowl like
Ferg Dog? Is that what they were doing? Maybe they
were sleeping like alf because they had to get up
and work. I don't know. I have no idea game
was thirty four to nothing, And so much for that
grassroots movement that you guys told me about. That you
morons said that people were boycotting. They weren't going to
(14:46):
watch the super Bowl, you told me, because nobody wanted
to see the referees hand the game to Kansas City. Yeah,
that worked very well, very well. Got a lot of
cloud online. All right. Now, final part of this mal
on a log will take some calls in a minute.
We'll go to the coaching carousel. There's one job open
that is expected that later today that job will be filled.
(15:09):
We are told that the Saints are going to hire
the Eagles offensive coordinators their head coach. We're also told
though that he was not their first choice, that mister
Moore was not the first choice. That instead, the Saints
head coaching job was indirectly through middle people, intermediaries offered
(15:30):
to Cliff Kingsbury. If he wanted it, he would have
been the head coach of the Saints. So the Saints
were ready to hire Cliff Kingsbury. Instead of taking the job,
Kingsbury decided to punt, much like the Saints offense did
many times last year. He opted to return for another
season with the Commanders, the team formerly known as the Redskins,
(15:51):
and to coach Jaden Daniels for another year. Obviously, a
lot of success, got to the NFC title game and
all that, what does it's Cliff Kingsbury turning down the
Saints job. Tell us? What does that tell us? So
it obviously tells us that Kingsbury has deep pockets, which
is the big part of the story. He's got deep pockets.
(16:12):
It also tells you that he's not interested in visiting
what I like to call lipstick city. Now, what is
lipstick city? That is where you're hired for a bad
job and you are required in that bad job to
put lipstick on pigs. There's a lot of heifers with
the New Orleans Saints, and Kingsbury wanted none of it. Now,
(16:33):
he was able to do this because he's already making
head coaching money. He's got FU money, Cliff Kingsbury. And
when you've got FU money, you can continue to coach
an absolute stud, a stallion like Jayden Daniels, and you
don't have to coach a bunch of losers like the Saints.
And he's still getting head coaching money. Seven and a
half million dollars Kingsbury's making and that's through twenty twenty seven. God,
(16:58):
why can't somebody hire me and pay me for like
five years and just fire me right away? Wouldn't that
be great? God? Man? Would that be why I want?
I pray for that I need that. Wouldn't that be great?
Come on, no worries in the world. Everything's taken care of.
Got a nice portfolio of investments, man, that would be nice.
(17:22):
All right? Anyway, I go and then he wakes up.
All right? If you would like to be part eight
seven seven ninety nine on Fox, there's a line open,
Line open eight seven seven nine nine sixty sixty three
sixty nine. Also on the X Machine at Ben Mallard,
That is at Ben Maller. Coming up later this hour,
we'll have signed to Bite the Great Sports Radio Mystery.
(17:44):
There's a interesting video. Patrick Mahomes is being called out
for a viral video. There's also a new conspiracy theory,
which I think is an old conspiracy theory that's been repackaged.
We'll examine that, whether we believe it or not. We'll
get to all of those stories and we will do
it next.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on

(18:35):

a Bronco fan. Whatever brings you to the show up early,
(18:58):
trying to get your day started, working all night, got
to get up to go to the bathroom. I get it.
Whatever it might be, We're here for you, hanging out
all night. And now back to Benny Blowhard No not
a blowhard, No no, no, just just Ben Bill, just Ben.
That's all it is. Late night drug Tester writes In
(19:20):
says Tom Brady is going to be chasing mahomes after
this MLB season since Patrick will have a world series
ring as part owner of the Cannes City Royals. Oh
never mind, I left the the methanol bottle open. I
gotta sit back down, Yeah, gotta sit back down. Justin
(19:41):
in Cincinnati is claiming that things just did not go
well for Jed, who fled. He blames Cooper Loop. Justin's
another Remember when Justin used to dominate the game shows.
Justin and Cincinnati was like the king of all game shows.
And much like athletes, these guys they peak and then
(20:01):
they fall off the map. It just happens. Our friend
from Brooklyn who went to the dreaded day Shift Uncle Moe,
Uncle Moe game show domination, then he had to leave,
couldn't handle it, and he's no longer the game show king.
And Justin in Cincinnati had his run of dominance. We
(20:22):
had a guy named Jeopardy Al back in the day.
Jeopardy Al was wonderful. It's very You'll talk about how
tough it is to be on top as a professional athlete,
but I would say, overnight talk radio game show contestant
not easy. Not the pressure to succeed every week. It's
this job is not that easy. Ferg Dog says, there's
(20:43):
no shame Ben in choosing the Puppy Bowl over the
Super Bowl. There you go. So there's this video that
has gone viral that was sent to me by a
full disclosure sent by a Patriots fan. So one of
our listeners in Boston who listens to this What's Up There,
sent this to me, and it involves Patrick Mahomes and
(21:05):
how they're claiming that he's a bad teammate. This is great.
So as the Chiefs were getting their bell rung in
the Super Bowl by Philadelphia, there's video of Mahomes making
his way along the sidelines and it appears that he's
offering some pats on the back and the side and saying, oh,
(21:25):
we'll get him next to your boys, you know that
kind of thing. And but he got to one teammate
and totally passed him by, like ignored him. And it
was Sammy p Ran, the running back, and Mahomes didn't
even acknowledge his presence. And so people are like, oh,
(21:47):
shoot this this guy that sent me the VISs. You see,
Mahomes is a bad teammate. But I don't know if
that's the think. I think what happened was Mahomes fell
for the bigger name syndrome. Because I'm watching the video
up again here and Mahomes is being nice. It appears
he said hello to everyone on the bench, and but
(22:08):
he did walk past p Ryan. He walked by him. However,
the reason he walked by him is because there was
a bigger name, uh there was a guy named Travis
Kelcey and he had to he had he had to
give Kelsey like a little hug there. He had to
give him little hug. And so that's why he did it.
So that's that's my theory. Now it is possible Mahomes
(22:28):
just a bigger name. He goes for the bigger name.
There was a woman that used to do like the
sideline reporting for the Dodgers who was always in a
bad mood except when the Dodger executives would come in
the room, and then she was mischarming and she was
just laughing and shuckling at everything as soon as they
would leave the room or there was a there was
(22:49):
not a bigger name in the room. Just a total curmudgeon.
Just a total curmudgeon.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
And there are people like that. Mike Mahomes is nice
to everybody. Just saw a bigger name. He fell for
the bigger name. And I think that's the issue on
that it happened there. You go, all right, anyway, it
is the Ben Mala shows. Go to the phones and
we'll say hello to Mike the Leprechaun. Hello, Mike the Leprecaun,
(23:16):
Good morning.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
I'm very proud to beyond.
Speaker 4 (23:20):
Two days after the Super Bowl and picture the nation
is still celebrating.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
When is the parade? Is there a parade? Is there
a rally? What is going on there? Well?
Speaker 3 (23:30):
No, it's just.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
How was it?
Speaker 4 (23:32):
We wanted the Eagles to win?
Speaker 1 (23:34):
And I did like Country Roads too. That was really nice,
very touching the.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
Roads.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
You didn't sing it today. I did not sing it today.
You want me to sing it every day? You want
me to sing sing along every day? That was just
a promotion vis to it.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
But anyway, So did you see the pregame show where
we like kicked a field goal from twenty yards?
Speaker 1 (23:55):
No, I'm a grown up. I don't watch pregame shows. No,
I don't. I don't have time for that. My time
is very valuable. I can I watch those crappy pregame shows.
Speaker 4 (24:04):
No, So what did you What did you have for
snacks at half time?
Speaker 1 (24:08):
So it was a my My food was a disaster
I had I had in my head. I had always
planned out and it was terrible. I don't want to
I don't want to talk. It was so bad. I
don't want to talk about it. You're a leperton. What
did you eat like rainbow cookies or something? Is that
with lepto Chinese food? What is it Christmas? You eat
(24:30):
Chinese food for the Super Bowl?
Speaker 3 (24:31):
No?
Speaker 1 (24:32):
No, what did you eat? Like orange chicken or something?
Speaker 4 (24:35):
Picking rev is shrimp, some kind of a version of
a shrimp cocktail, and all kinds of fried rice and dumplings.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
Good salad. You can't go wrong with fried rice. It's
pretty good.
Speaker 4 (24:47):
I switched to the World news at halftime. The game
was so bad.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
There was there was an election in Equator and Kosovo,
and actually this is for you were watching an election
in Kosovo?
Speaker 4 (24:59):
No, I was watching.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
It was about it. But this that sounds horrible. Why
would you do that?
Speaker 3 (25:09):
Well, because the game was so bad, Bill Belichick was
out on the edge.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
With his girlfriend.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Did you see her or see them?
Speaker 3 (25:15):
They're very acute in their orange.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
The perk guy, the guy as he was, Yeah, what
about him?
Speaker 4 (25:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (25:23):
So you should ask him? Maybe he already answered this.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
Brian Adams from Canada was doing a concert there on
Saturday and they had to cancel it because of the
massive sewer factberg. So right around the stadium.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
I gotta go. I got it, Thank you, I can't
I can't do you didn't even get your dad joke
in no dad joke. It's a bad job by you
expect to the dad joke. I do have a fun fact.
You want a fun fact, I got a fun fact.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
Fun fact.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
No, people are saying what happened to Kansas City and
all that they got there? You know, you know what
handed them by the team from Philadelphia. But the fun
fact of the hour, the Philadelphia Eagles trailed for a
total of five minutes and forty three seconds the entire playoffs.
They trailed for forty three seconds against the Commanders it
(26:17):
was seven to six, actually it was three to nothing
in that game. But against the Rams they trailed for
five minutes. So using the never wrong process of elimination,
that means the La Rams should finish as the runner
up in the NFL because they actually had the lead
longer than anyone against the mighty Philadelphia Eagles. And never forget,
(26:42):
the La Rams had the ball driving down the field
with a chance to win the game and the final
seconds despite allowing two hundred and fifty some yards to
Sequon Barkley. So Barkley, maybe the Chiefs should have gone
the opposite. I know they were like, we got to
stop Barkley. They stopped Barkley, and they still ended up
getting vaporized in that game. Hey, speed up your hiring

they great, just absolutelyonful. Now as far as the other story,
and I mentioned this, I didn't pay it off yet,
and I'll pay it off right now. UH love a
good conspiracy. I don't believe most of them. I believe
some of them, not most of them. And there's another
conspiracy and this involves Travis Kelcey and Taylor Swift. And
the conspiracy is that it's all been orchestrated. I feel
(27:52):
like I've heard this before, but the it's been orchestrated.
A viral video here claiming that it's staged. The relig
relationship is all staged. Clearly it's a fake relationship. The
conspiracy theory which has gone viral on TikTok, I'm not
on there, are you on TikTok. I'm not on TikTok.
I'm not on TikTok. Yeah, you're too old for TikTok.
People send me tiktoks to watch. Yeah, I got my
(28:15):
tic Everyone gotta have a TikTok guy. ALF is my
TikTok guy. Alf the alien o Pine is my TikTok guy.
So if anything goes big on TikTok, Alf usually sends
it to me. I didn't get this one from Alf, though,
But according to the viral video, the entire relationship is
being called a multi level marketing insurance scheme. About that
(28:37):
multi level marketing insurance scheme involving State Farm Insurance man,
the NFL's in bed with State Farm Insurance the last
couple of years. They've been a big advertiser. There. You
see Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelsey, Andy Reid. Do you think
Jake from State Farm is involved in that? Well, Jake
(28:58):
from State Farm has been spotted with Kelsey's mother, Donna
Kelsey oh at the Eagles games. Yeah. The PR. The
argument is the it was a PR stunt. Mama Kelsey
was orchestrated by a company called Maxim. Maximum Effort is
the name of the company. The conspiracy theorists claimed the
(29:20):
production company and marketing agency founded by actor Ryan Reynolds.
Who is right, that's right? Who's besties with? Who?
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Taylor Swift?
Speaker 1 (29:36):
The plot thickens, Yeah, it's getting good now, and so
the Ryan Reynolds a company production company put this together
an obvious attempt to help State Farm capitalize on the
Kelsey Taylor Swift relationship. Hmm things that make you go
(29:57):
hmm interesting? What do you think now? I think it's
kind of juicy.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
But they both have so much Like Taylor's got so
much money you need why's she bother with that? Why bother?
Speaker 2 (30:10):
Facts?
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Facts? And being involved in a hoax for so long?
Speaker 4 (30:15):
You know, she's got a lot of time, a lot
of money.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
What's that syndrome where you're a prisoner and you fall
in love with the people that kidnap you. You know what
I'm talking about? Maybe Stockholm? Yeah, Stockholm. Look, get you
a good job, but you Stockholm syndrome. Maybe? Is it
possible that Taylor Swift it was all started as a
PR stunt and now they actually like each other. It's
Stockholm syndrome? That that that's deep, very deep, all right,
let's say hello to who do we have your cowboy,
(30:39):
John brad a Canadian legend from south of Motown in Windsor, Ontario.
Hello cowboy John Brad.
Speaker 4 (30:48):
Well, we'll ring Ben and everybody else over there. On
the thirty fifth adversary of one of boxing's big up sets,
when James Douglas knelt Mike Tyson the tenth round to
win the world every one way. That was a day
after the shooting fatal shooting of a former Big leaguer
Tony Salita. The former, of course, was February ten, the
(31:11):
latter of February the eleventh, nineteen ninety former Major leaguer
Ben o'gibe uh and former longtime San Antonio spur James Silos,
known as the late mister Silis. But he's still for
seventy six today. And let's see, of course, the birthday
(31:32):
boys of the weekend say com Barkley was twenty eight.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Saturday birthday Sunday Cooper.
Speaker 4 (31:40):
Was twenty two. Funny of course, helped the Eagles kill
the Chiefs. So anyway, anyway, I remember you got to
be a boy to be a cowboy, And of course
hopefully all speak you in the next few minutes again.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
There you goes Cowboy John b Red. Guy's been calling
talk radio since the sixties. No computers, that's the bit.
No smartphone, no computer, all in his brain. He's like
rain Man. He remembers all these dates. He's amazing Canadians,
Canadian rain Man, our friend, the cowboy, John Brad. We
(32:15):
love him. He's almost retired. Several times. We keep dragging
him out of retirement. Several of you sent me the
story that Dan Orlovsky, who is a blowhard on television,
is supposedly getting an NFL coaching job. Whoever, whichever NFL
team hires Dan or Lofsky, I think we should all
send like a cake too, or something like that. But
it doesn't matter because not that I watch Rolofsky that
(32:36):
much anyway. But Orlovsky will just be replaced by another blowhard.
So there's an endless supply. So it's people like, oh,
Orlovsky's gonna no longer be on TV. Okay, fine, but
they'll just replace someone who's more annoying. He will replace
him with someone more annoying. We're gonna have coming up
moments away site the bite the great sports radio mister.
(32:57):
We'll get to that in a minute. I did want
to mention this before I forget. I'm I'm gonna have
time on the other side, so I'll do it right now.
Did you see that in New Orleans Super Bowl Week
there was a guy named Tim Cook that went unrecognized
at a restaurant in the Bayou. People were fascinated about
do you know who Tim Cook is? Lorena? Okay, well
(33:17):
maybe that's why, Coop, do you know who Tim Cook is?
The CEO of Apple? That is correct? Now? This guy?
How much is Tim Cook worth? How many billions of
dollars is this catworth? Not as many as you would think, really,
because he didn't invent anything. He just took the company.
Speaker 4 (33:32):
Over from the seventy billion.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Ben No.
Speaker 3 (33:35):
It's like he's like in like maybe like a seven
billion or something like that right somewhere around there?
Speaker 1 (33:40):
Is it? I don't know, but I don't know. But
he was wandering around Bourbon Street. The guy's worth billions
and nobody recognized. They didn't know who he was. The
guys runs Apple, Like that's kind of a big deal.
I don't think people really look at people anymore. Ben No.
But this is why I wanted to bring this up,
because This is why rich people by sports teams, because
(34:01):
you know, rich people that own sports teams, because they
they're known, like Tim Cook's a rich guy. Tim Apple says,
Donald Trump would call him. Oh yeah, that's right. But anyway,
he's just hanging out and doing his thing. And and
he's worth how much is it? I look it up here,
Tim cooks two and a half billion. Yeah, he's worth
over two billion dollars. Wow, some eat some gumbo. I
(34:26):
have a Beignet dollars with oysters please. Yes, I would
have recognized him gat balls. Yeah, anyway, I thought that
was interesting. I want to share that with the class. Well,

Here we go. It's our number four. Hour four is
knocking at your audio door. We thank you for supporting
the podcast. Now, I often say on the live show
that the people that listen live have an advantage because
they get to be interactive to the live show. But
you who listen to the podcast, you have your own
advantage fewer commercials. You have fewer commercials to listen to,
(00:21):
and so that means the show goes by quicker. So
here an hour number four.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Do you believe.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Patrick mahomes pursuit of Tom Brady's legend has now been
derailed because Kansas City went belly up and Mahomes was
terrible in the Super Bowl. Also, how do you explain
a dud of a matchup not competitive? Super Bowl fifty
nine between the Chiefs and Eagles being the most watched
in history. Also, what does Cliff Kingsbury turning down the
(00:48):
Saints job tell us the Washington Offensive Guru. We'll talk
about all that and more right now, have a wonderful Tuesday.
It's the eleventh day of February. We thank you for
listening to podcast and supporting the show. And here it
is our number four. It is Pendamonium Post Super Bowl
(01:10):
fifty nine. Welcome in the beginning of another hour of
the Ben Mather Show.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
We are in the air everywhere, fireside chatting as we
work on the old balance sheet, coast to coast, border
to bort and beyond on the vast and unforgettably powerful
microphones of FSR ammating live.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
From the roach We hang in the cockroach castle right now.
There are hundreds of cockroaches in the ceiling here around
the building. We're broadcasting live from the ty rack dot
Com studios. Tyraqt dot Com will help you get there
in unmatched selection, fast, free ship, free, road hazard protection
and over ten thousand recommended in stars and O. JT
(02:06):
the Wingman a big fan of that. He's gonna eventually
go to ten thousand Mallor meet and greets. We have
no scheduled Malor meet and greets yet this year, but
JT I know he'll be there whenever we schedule one.
Tire rack dot Com the Way Tire Buying show me
so story last night we talked about earlier. It'll be
up on the podcast later. Lukeka all this excitement national
(02:30):
TV for his debut, and man it was impressive, But
what fifty point. No, he didn't have fifty forty. No,
he didn't have forty thirty five, Right, Luke could put
up thirty five for the Lakers and his debut against
the Jazz. Now, thirty thirty points, that's the number. Nope,
not thirty, not twenty five, twenty No, No, how about fifteen?
(02:59):
Did he did Luca? Fifteen? Yeah? They play the worst team,
the Jazz. Come on, No, didn't even get fifteen. Luke
had fourteen points, fourteen points in his Laker debut. And
podcaster JJ Reddick, who's masquerading as the Laker coach there
podcast Reddick feeding the n Nico Harrison conspiracy there that
(03:23):
Luca was on a minutes restriction, apparently because he's out
of shape. All right, But our lead this hour is
not from that. It is the post mortem on the
dud heard round the football world super Bowl fifteen to nine.
It is now dun Skis, as you know. And the
one story that still has legs more than any other
(03:44):
story is the amount of celebration that has taking place
as people are literally in jobs like the one I
have and the other media jobs, they're holding shovels as
they're digging holes to Barry, Andy Reid, and Patrick Mahomes
(04:05):
in the echo chamber of sports conversation. I don't know
if you've been consuming any of this content. Maybe not.
Now I thought this was contained to Boston Patriot fans rejoicing.
But it's not just the Patriot fans. There is a
cross the board celebration. Sell break good times, Sell break
(04:27):
good times. Now, Mahomes absolutely had a clunker. It was
embarrassed watching Mahomes out there as he fetched around on
the field in that blowout loss to Philadelphia. So this
has led to a dog pile, a dog pile from
the punnits, a lot of I told you so, he
(04:49):
was never that good. You've got Poindexter's digging out some
kind of random factoid, some kind of stat that ends
any kind of debate about whether Mahomes can ever catch
Tom Brady. That seems to be the main point of
focus in all this. People taking shots at Andy Reid also,
(05:09):
but Tom Brady because and this is the consensus by
many of these geniuses that Tom Brady no longer has
to worry, he no longer has to look over his
shoulder because of the way Mahomes played in that Super
Bowl and the blowout loss of Kansas City, that his
records are secure forever and ever and ever and ever,
(05:32):
that Tom Brady does not have to worry about Mahomes
bird dog in him for the greatest of all time conversation.
And so that stinker ended that chatter. So let's discuss
the question, do you believe that Patrick mahomes pursuit of
Tom Brady's historical perch among the all time greats? The
(05:58):
legend of Tom Brady has been derailed? Is it now derailed?
Mahomes chasing Tom Brady. So I've got pepsi, tabernacle, and lipstick,
and we will combine all of these three random things
together and we are going to make a solid, solid
(06:18):
TV chef. Because I remember when those TV chefs started
and I was like, oh, that's kind of a unique thing.
And now they're everywhere, Like there's a million TV chefs,
and now there's like the social media chefs. Everyone's got
everyone's a chef. It's fascinating, all right. So to answer
the question, do you believe that Patrick mahomes pursuit of
Tom Brady's legend has been derailed?
Speaker 2 (06:42):
No?
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Absolutely not. Oh that's not the popular opinion. Ben you
can't say that. What's wrong with you? I have consumed something.
I sleep during the day. A lot of these big
time gas bags that get paid a lot of money
worked during the day. I'm not awake. But from what
I've heard and the clips you idiots have sent me,
you know who you are. Did you see what they said? Yeah?
(07:07):
I clicked on some of those links you send me.
Not all of them, but I click on some of them.
It is the most absurd overreaction that you could possibly have.
It's very predictable. Everyone's going down to Walmart the supercenter
and they're like, hey, can I get my hands on
that Mahomes pinata. You get a swing, you get a swing,
(07:28):
You get a swing, You get a swing, you get
a swing. Everyone. But this is what's known as being
a prisoner of the moment. And I understand, you have
to do the show right now, you have to do
the show today. I get that. I say that all
the time. But recency bias is also a thing here.
And Patrick Mahomes, I will completely agree with you. Mahomes
went out there, he did his own infomercial, and I
(07:51):
love infomercial I do overnights. This is when the infomercials
are on. In fact, there's one right now with Emil
selling some kind of cooking device right now doing an infomercial.
I don't want to buy it. But here's the thing,
all right, Patrick Mahomes did his own infomercial, Set It
and forget It for his item, the barfe Matic. He
went out there and barfed all over the field. So
(08:13):
I get that. I understand that deserves criticism, and he's
getting plenty of criticism. But I was taught years ago
that you're never as good as everyone thinks you are
when you're winning, and you're never as bad as everyone
says you are when you suck and you lose. So
spoiler alert, I'm going to take out a can of
pepsi and I'm going to do my own pepsi challenge,
(08:34):
is what I'm going to do right now, blind side
by side test of Mahomes and Brady. And you're not
going to like the evidence because the evidence is still
rock solid in favor of Mahomes because you're looking at
(08:55):
Brady through the prism of his entire career. We know
what happened to Tom Brady. We all lived it, we
saw it, it played out in front of our eyes.
Mahomes is still at the typewriter. He's typing up his manuscript.
He's about halfway in. So the way you judge this
is all right. Mahomes Brady through age twenty nine. That's
(09:20):
the challenge. So lewis side by side. Mahomes now has
been to five Super Bowls before the age of thirty.
Tom Brady went to three Super Bowls before the age
of thirty, So using malarmath, that's plus two in favor
of Mahomes. Now, Mahomes has three Super Bowl titles. Brady
had three super Bowl titles, so that's even. But Mahomes
(09:43):
has the advantage because he's been the more Super Bowls.
Mahomes won three super Bowl MVPs, Brady won two. That's
advantage Mahomes. Mahomes has won a couple of regular season
MVP awards. We're doing the PEPSI challenge here. Brady Tom Brady,
by age twenty nine had not won a single regular
(10:03):
season Most Valuable Player award. That's another check in favor
of Patrick Mahomes. Tom Brady won his first MVP award
at age thirty three. Patrick Mahomes has several more seasons
to go. Before he gets to that point. The question,
this is ultimately the question. We don't know the answer.
I can look into my crystal ball. But if you
(10:25):
look at Mahomes and you say, is he going to
play another ten years? Okay, but he'd have to play
another fifteen years. Tom Brady played from his age twenty
nine age thirty season on. He played from age thirty
to age forty five, so he played fourteen more seasons,
so he's got a head start on that. And in
(10:46):
those fourteen seasons after that, he won four more Super Bowls,
three with the Patriots and one with Tampa Bay. Three
super Bowl MVPs after the age of thirty, two regular
season MVPs after the age of thirty. So let's say
Mahomes doesn't do quite as well. Let's say he only
wins one more regular season MVP award, so he'll be
(11:07):
even with Brady in that. Let's say he only wins
one more Super Bowl MVP, he'll be even with Brady
in that. Kansas City is as long as Mahomes is there,
they're going to be back in the conversation every single year.
And you might not want to admit that. There's a
lot of idiots that are it's over, It's all over.
They're done doneees, No, no, they're not. Now it's going
(11:29):
to be more interesting with Mahomes because he's going to
have to win with Kelsey gone. Kelsey will go out
and be a dancer with Taylor Swift and that'll be
his life. So they'll have to replace Kelsey and Andy Reid.
As much as we'd love to see Handy coach, as
long as Mahomes around, the math ain't math. And on
Andy Reid, right, you look at his age and you say,
Mahomes going to play another fifteen years, Well, Andy Reid'll
(11:52):
be in his eighties by then if he's lucky enough
to make it, so good luck on that. Now, furthermore,
we move away from that, we go to the land
of television. Now, this guy I work with on the
TV show says TV people are more important people because
they're TV people. So TV is very essential. In fact,
it's the fuel that drives all of sport television. All
(12:14):
of the athletes make ridiculous money because of TV. It's
not because of social media's because of TV. So it
is now estimating that Super Bowl fifty nine had one
hundred and twenty six million men, women, and children watching
the Chiefs and Eagles one hundred and twenty six million,
the highest viewership for the biggest stage of them all
(12:39):
in American sports. And so one hundred and twenty six
million people. So how do you explain Super Bowl fifty nine,
which at one point was thirty for nothing? Thirty for nothing?
How do you explain the Chiefs and Egles being the
most watched game in the history of that event. So
the obvious thing here, what you don't need me to
(13:01):
tell you is it's part of the zeitgeist of America,
and it's not so much about the game. I have
relatives of mine that don't have the sports gene, they're
not into sports, and they watch it because of the commercials.
I talked about how I was touched by that John
Denver song, right the rocket commercial from yesterday. It really
(13:22):
got to me. And all that the people watch for
the commercials. Yeah, all about that. So it's also like
a religious event, or maybe not really. Maybe Thanksgiving is
more like it's not religious per se, but it's the
tabernacle of a football or statue of liberty. Here that
line on the statue of liberty that always gets repeated.
(13:43):
Give me, you're tired, you're poor, Your huddled masses yearning
to breathe free and smell pigskin in the air everywhere,
but not everyone was watching. It is a communal event.
I'm always fascinated by the math on this. So based
on the math, how many Americans are watching one hundred
and twenty six million? How many people live in America?
(14:04):
A three hundred and thirty three million, it's estimated. It's
a lot of people. So thirty seven point eight percent
of our brothers and sisters here in America were watching
the super Bowl. That means if you do the math
on that, two hundred seven million people were not watching
the Super Bowl. What were they doing? What were they
(14:25):
doing on Sunday? Did they watch the Puppy Bowl like
Ferg Dog? Is that what they were doing? Maybe they
were sleeping like alf because they had to get up
and work. I don't know. I have no idea game
was thirty four to nothing, And so much for that
grassroots movement that you guys told me about. That you
morons said that people were boycotting. They weren't going to
(14:46):
watch the super Bowl, you told me, because nobody wanted
to see the referees hand the game to Kansas City. Yeah,
that worked very well, very well. Got a lot of
cloud online. All right. Now, final part of this mal
on a log will take some calls in a minute.
We'll go to the coaching carousel. There's one job open
that is expected that later today that job will be filled.
(15:09):
We are told that the Saints are going to hire
the Eagles offensive coordinators their head coach. We're also told
though that he was not their first choice, that mister
Moore was not the first choice. That instead, the Saints
head coaching job was indirectly through middle people, intermediaries offered
(15:30):
to Cliff Kingsbury. If he wanted it, he would have
been the head coach of the Saints. So the Saints
were ready to hire Cliff Kingsbury. Instead of taking the job,
Kingsbury decided to punt, much like the Saints offense did
many times last year. He opted to return for another
season with the Commanders, the team formerly known as the Redskins,
(15:51):
and to coach Jaden Daniels for another year. Obviously, a
lot of success, got to the NFC title game and
all that, what does it's Cliff Kingsbury turning down the
Saints job. Tell us? What does that tell us? So
it obviously tells us that Kingsbury has deep pockets, which
is the big part of the story. He's got deep pockets.
(16:12):
It also tells you that he's not interested in visiting
what I like to call lipstick city. Now, what is
lipstick city? That is where you're hired for a bad
job and you are required in that bad job to
put lipstick on pigs. There's a lot of heifers with
the New Orleans Saints, and Kingsbury wanted none of it. Now,
(16:33):
he was able to do this because he's already making
head coaching money. He's got FU money, Cliff Kingsbury. And
when you've got FU money, you can continue to coach
an absolute stud, a stallion like Jayden Daniels, and you
don't have to coach a bunch of losers like the Saints.
And he's still getting head coaching money. Seven and a
half million dollars Kingsbury's making and that's through twenty twenty seven. God,
(16:58):
why can't somebody hire me and pay me for like
five years and just fire me right away? Wouldn't that
be great? God? Man? Would that be why I want?
I pray for that I need that. Wouldn't that be great?
Come on, no worries in the world. Everything's taken care of.
Got a nice portfolio of investments, man, that would be nice.
(17:22):
All right? Anyway, I go and then he wakes up.
All right? If you would like to be part eight
seven seven ninety nine on Fox, there's a line open,
Line open eight seven seven nine nine sixty sixty three
sixty nine. Also on the X Machine at Ben Mallard,
That is at Ben Maller. Coming up later this hour,
we'll have signed to Bite the Great Sports Radio Mystery.
(17:44):
There's a interesting video. Patrick Mahomes is being called out
for a viral video. There's also a new conspiracy theory,
which I think is an old conspiracy theory that's been repackaged.
We'll examine that, whether we believe it or not. We'll
get to all of those stories and we will do
it next.

to bed on this weekend, but you can interact with
(18:35):
the live radio show on this Tuesday morning. Saalalo to
Ben at Ben Maller. That's at Ben Mallor. And also
sale to Lorena the FSR Tech queen right there, Cooper Loop,
a Bronco fan. Whatever brings you to the show up early,
(18:58):
trying to get your day started, working all night, got
to get up to go to the bathroom. I get it.
Whatever it might be, We're here for you, hanging out
all night. And now back to Benny Blowhard No not
a blowhard, No no, no, just just Ben Bill, just Ben.
That's all it is. Late night drug Tester writes In
(19:20):
says Tom Brady is going to be chasing mahomes after
this MLB season since Patrick will have a world series
ring as part owner of the Cannes City Royals. Oh
never mind, I left the the methanol bottle open. I
gotta sit back down, Yeah, gotta sit back down. Justin
(19:41):
in Cincinnati is claiming that things just did not go
well for Jed, who fled. He blames Cooper Loop. Justin's
another Remember when Justin used to dominate the game shows.
Justin and Cincinnati was like the king of all game shows.
And much like athletes, these guys they peak and then
(20:01):
they fall off the map. It just happens. Our friend
from Brooklyn who went to the dreaded day Shift Uncle Moe,
Uncle Moe game show domination, then he had to leave,
couldn't handle it, and he's no longer the game show king.
And Justin in Cincinnati had his run of dominance. We
(20:22):
had a guy named Jeopardy Al back in the day.
Jeopardy Al was wonderful. It's very You'll talk about how
tough it is to be on top as a professional athlete,
but I would say, overnight talk radio game show contestant
not easy. Not the pressure to succeed every week. It's
this job is not that easy. Ferg Dog says, there's
(20:43):
no shame Ben in choosing the Puppy Bowl over the
Super Bowl. There you go. So there's this video that
has gone viral that was sent to me by a
full disclosure sent by a Patriots fan. So one of
our listeners in Boston who listens to this What's Up There,
sent this to me, and it involves Patrick Mahomes and
(21:05):
how they're claiming that he's a bad teammate. This is great.
So as the Chiefs were getting their bell rung in
the Super Bowl by Philadelphia, there's video of Mahomes making
his way along the sidelines and it appears that he's
offering some pats on the back and the side and saying, oh,
(21:25):
we'll get him next to your boys, you know that
kind of thing. And but he got to one teammate
and totally passed him by, like ignored him. And it
was Sammy p Ran, the running back, and Mahomes didn't
even acknowledge his presence. And so people are like, oh,
(21:47):
shoot this this guy that sent me the VISs. You see,
Mahomes is a bad teammate. But I don't know if
that's the think. I think what happened was Mahomes fell
for the bigger name syndrome. Because I'm watching the video
up again here and Mahomes is being nice. It appears
he said hello to everyone on the bench, and but
(22:08):
he did walk past p Ryan. He walked by him. However,
the reason he walked by him is because there was
a bigger name, uh there was a guy named Travis
Kelcey and he had to he had he had to
give Kelsey like a little hug there. He had to
give him little hug. And so that's why he did it.
So that's that's my theory. Now it is possible Mahomes
(22:28):
just a bigger name. He goes for the bigger name.
There was a woman that used to do like the
sideline reporting for the Dodgers who was always in a
bad mood except when the Dodger executives would come in
the room, and then she was mischarming and she was
just laughing and shuckling at everything as soon as they
would leave the room or there was a there was
(22:49):
not a bigger name in the room. Just a total curmudgeon.
Just a total curmudgeon.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
And there are people like that. Mike Mahomes is nice
to everybody. Just saw a bigger name. He fell for
the bigger name. And I think that's the issue on
that it happened there. You go, all right, anyway, it
is the Ben Mala shows. Go to the phones and
we'll say hello to Mike the Leprechaun. Hello, Mike the Leprecaun,
(23:16):
Good morning.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
I'm very proud to beyond.
Speaker 4 (23:20):
Two days after the Super Bowl and picture the nation
is still celebrating.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
When is the parade? Is there a parade? Is there
a rally? What is going on there? Well?
Speaker 3 (23:30):
No, it's just.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
How was it?
Speaker 4 (23:32):
We wanted the Eagles to win?
Speaker 1 (23:34):
And I did like Country Roads too. That was really nice,
very touching the.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
Roads.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
You didn't sing it today. I did not sing it today.
You want me to sing it every day? You want
me to sing sing along every day? That was just
a promotion vis to it.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
But anyway, So did you see the pregame show where
we like kicked a field goal from twenty yards?
Speaker 1 (23:55):
No, I'm a grown up. I don't watch pregame shows. No,
I don't. I don't have time for that. My time
is very valuable. I can I watch those crappy pregame shows.
Speaker 4 (24:04):
No, So what did you What did you have for
snacks at half time?
Speaker 1 (24:08):
So it was a my My food was a disaster
I had I had in my head. I had always
planned out and it was terrible. I don't want to
I don't want to talk. It was so bad. I
don't want to talk about it. You're a leperton. What
did you eat like rainbow cookies or something? Is that
with lepto Chinese food? What is it Christmas? You eat
(24:30):
Chinese food for the Super Bowl?
Speaker 3 (24:31):
No?
Speaker 1 (24:32):
No, what did you eat? Like orange chicken or something?
Speaker 4 (24:35):
Picking rev is shrimp, some kind of a version of
a shrimp cocktail, and all kinds of fried rice and dumplings.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
Good salad. You can't go wrong with fried rice. It's
pretty good.
Speaker 4 (24:47):
I switched to the World news at halftime. The game
was so bad.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
There was there was an election in Equator and Kosovo,
and actually this is for you were watching an election
in Kosovo?
Speaker 4 (24:59):
No, I was watching.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
It was about it. But this that sounds horrible. Why
would you do that?
Speaker 3 (25:09):
Well, because the game was so bad, Bill Belichick was
out on the edge.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
With his girlfriend.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Did you see her or see them?
Speaker 3 (25:15):
They're very acute in their orange.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
The perk guy, the guy as he was, Yeah, what
about him?
Speaker 4 (25:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (25:23):
So you should ask him? Maybe he already answered this.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
Brian Adams from Canada was doing a concert there on
Saturday and they had to cancel it because of the
massive sewer factberg. So right around the stadium.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
I gotta go. I got it, Thank you, I can't
I can't do you didn't even get your dad joke
in no dad joke. It's a bad job by you
expect to the dad joke. I do have a fun fact.
You want a fun fact, I got a fun fact.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
Fun fact.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
No, people are saying what happened to Kansas City and
all that they got there? You know, you know what
handed them by the team from Philadelphia. But the fun
fact of the hour, the Philadelphia Eagles trailed for a
total of five minutes and forty three seconds the entire playoffs.
They trailed for forty three seconds against the Commanders it
(26:17):
was seven to six, actually it was three to nothing
in that game. But against the Rams they trailed for
five minutes. So using the never wrong process of elimination,
that means the La Rams should finish as the runner
up in the NFL because they actually had the lead
longer than anyone against the mighty Philadelphia Eagles. And never forget,
(26:42):
the La Rams had the ball driving down the field
with a chance to win the game and the final
seconds despite allowing two hundred and fifty some yards to
Sequon Barkley. So Barkley, maybe the Chiefs should have gone
the opposite. I know they were like, we got to
stop Barkley. They stopped Barkley, and they still ended up
getting vaporized in that game. Hey, speed up your hiring

(27:26):
they great, just absolutelyonful. Now as far as the other story,
and I mentioned this, I didn't pay it off yet,
and I'll pay it off right now. UH love a
good conspiracy. I don't believe most of them. I believe
some of them, not most of them. And there's another
conspiracy and this involves Travis Kelcey and Taylor Swift. And
the conspiracy is that it's all been orchestrated. I feel
(27:52):
like I've heard this before, but the it's been orchestrated.
A viral video here claiming that it's staged. The relig
relationship is all staged. Clearly it's a fake relationship. The
conspiracy theory which has gone viral on TikTok, I'm not
on there, are you on TikTok. I'm not on TikTok.
I'm not on TikTok. Yeah, you're too old for TikTok.
People send me tiktoks to watch. Yeah, I got my
(28:15):
tic Everyone gotta have a TikTok guy. ALF is my
TikTok guy. Alf the alien o Pine is my TikTok guy.
So if anything goes big on TikTok, Alf usually sends
it to me. I didn't get this one from Alf, though,
But according to the viral video, the entire relationship is
being called a multi level marketing insurance scheme. About that
(28:37):
multi level marketing insurance scheme involving State Farm Insurance man,
the NFL's in bed with State Farm Insurance the last
couple of years. They've been a big advertiser. There. You
see Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelsey, Andy Reid. Do you think
Jake from State Farm is involved in that? Well, Jake
(28:58):
from State Farm has been spotted with Kelsey's mother, Donna
Kelsey oh at the Eagles games. Yeah. The PR. The
argument is the it was a PR stunt. Mama Kelsey
was orchestrated by a company called Maxim. Maximum Effort is
the name of the company. The conspiracy theorists claimed the
(29:20):
production company and marketing agency founded by actor Ryan Reynolds.
Who is right, that's right? Who's besties with? Who?
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Taylor Swift?
Speaker 1 (29:36):
The plot thickens, Yeah, it's getting good now, and so
the Ryan Reynolds a company production company put this together
an obvious attempt to help State Farm capitalize on the
Kelsey Taylor Swift relationship. Hmm things that make you go
(29:57):
hmm interesting? What do you think now? I think it's
kind of juicy.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
But they both have so much Like Taylor's got so
much money you need why's she bother with that? Why bother?
Speaker 2 (30:10):
Facts?
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Facts? And being involved in a hoax for so long?
Speaker 4 (30:15):
You know, she's got a lot of time, a lot
of money.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
What's that syndrome where you're a prisoner and you fall
in love with the people that kidnap you. You know what
I'm talking about? Maybe Stockholm? Yeah, Stockholm. Look, get you
a good job, but you Stockholm syndrome. Maybe? Is it
possible that Taylor Swift it was all started as a
PR stunt and now they actually like each other. It's
Stockholm syndrome? That that that's deep, very deep, all right,
let's say hello to who do we have your cowboy,
(30:39):
John brad a Canadian legend from south of Motown in Windsor, Ontario.
Hello cowboy John Brad.
Speaker 4 (30:48):
Well, we'll ring Ben and everybody else over there. On
the thirty fifth adversary of one of boxing's big up sets,
when James Douglas knelt Mike Tyson the tenth round to
win the world every one way. That was a day
after the shooting fatal shooting of a former Big leaguer
Tony Salita. The former, of course, was February ten, the
(31:11):
latter of February the eleventh, nineteen ninety former Major leaguer
Ben o'gibe uh and former longtime San Antonio spur James Silos,
known as the late mister Silis. But he's still for
seventy six today. And let's see, of course, the birthday
(31:32):
boys of the weekend say com Barkley was twenty eight.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Saturday birthday Sunday Cooper.
Speaker 4 (31:40):
Was twenty two. Funny of course, helped the Eagles kill
the Chiefs. So anyway, anyway, I remember you got to
be a boy to be a cowboy, And of course
hopefully all speak you in the next few minutes again.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
There you goes Cowboy John b Red. Guy's been calling
talk radio since the sixties. No computers, that's the bit.
No smartphone, no computer, all in his brain. He's like
rain Man. He remembers all these dates. He's amazing Canadians,
Canadian rain Man, our friend, the cowboy, John Brad. We
(32:15):
love him. He's almost retired. Several times. We keep dragging
him out of retirement. Several of you sent me the
story that Dan Orlovsky, who is a blowhard on television,
is supposedly getting an NFL coaching job. Whoever, whichever NFL
team hires Dan or Lofsky, I think we should all
send like a cake too, or something like that. But
it doesn't matter because not that I watch Rolofsky that
(32:36):
much anyway. But Orlovsky will just be replaced by another blowhard.
So there's an endless supply. So it's people like, oh,
Orlovsky's gonna no longer be on TV. Okay, fine, but
they'll just replace someone who's more annoying. He will replace
him with someone more annoying. We're gonna have coming up
moments away site the bite the great sports radio mister.
(32:57):
We'll get to that in a minute. I did want
to mention this before I forget. I'm I'm gonna have
time on the other side, so I'll do it right now.
Did you see that in New Orleans Super Bowl Week
there was a guy named Tim Cook that went unrecognized
at a restaurant in the Bayou. People were fascinated about
do you know who Tim Cook is? Lorena? Okay, well
(33:17):
maybe that's why, Coop, do you know who Tim Cook is?
The CEO of Apple? That is correct? Now? This guy?
How much is Tim Cook worth? How many billions of
dollars is this catworth? Not as many as you would think, really,
because he didn't invent anything. He just took the company.
Speaker 4 (33:32):
Over from the seventy billion.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Ben No.
Speaker 3 (33:35):
It's like he's like in like maybe like a seven
billion or something like that right somewhere around there?
Speaker 1 (33:40):
Is it? I don't know, but I don't know. But
he was wandering around Bourbon Street. The guy's worth billions
and nobody recognized. They didn't know who he was. The
guys runs Apple, Like that's kind of a big deal.
I don't think people really look at people anymore. Ben No.
But this is why I wanted to bring this up,
because This is why rich people by sports teams, because
(34:01):
you know, rich people that own sports teams, because they
they're known, like Tim Cook's a rich guy. Tim Apple says,
Donald Trump would call him. Oh yeah, that's right. But anyway,
he's just hanging out and doing his thing. And and
he's worth how much is it? I look it up here,
Tim cooks two and a half billion. Yeah, he's worth
over two billion dollars. Wow, some eat some gumbo. I
(34:26):
have a Beignet dollars with oysters please. Yes, I would
have recognized him gat balls. Yeah, anyway, I thought that
was interesting. I want to share that with the class. Well,
