Speaker 1 (00:00):
Omaha, omaha, it's our number two. Happy Wednesday to you.

Andy Reid poking the Bear by basically blaming Patrick Mahomes

(00:44):
for abandoning the run game. Also, what do you make

that will go there as well. It's all yours right now.

(01:04):
It's our number two, is there cracking in casey welcome
In the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mahler Show.
We are in the air everywhere, rating writing the radio

(01:25):
waves here as we say, listen and learn. That's what
you have to do. Coast to coast, border the border
and beyond on the vast and voice verusly powerful microphones
of fs are emmating live from the Pineapple, the Pineapple Express,
the world famous Fox Sports Radio studios, as approved by

(01:48):
Joey the Bellman Tree in Chicago and Yafimi, who all
know that this portion of the Ben Malors Show made
possible in part by our friends at tire Rack. That's right.
For over forty years, tire Rack has been helping customers
like Ed from Dayton, Ohio find the right tires for how,
what and where they drive, ship fast and freeback by
free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile

(02:12):
tire installation, tire rack dot Com, the Wait Tire Buying SHOWB.
So our lead this hour is from a heartache in case.
Well it's not hard ae yet things are not going
particularly well if the playoffs started today. If the playoffs
started today, Kansas City would be watching on television like

(02:37):
you and I will be watching on television. So problems
in paradise developing hot dot dot dot. If you have
not heard, perhaps not warning warning, morning morning, morning warning.
Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid at loggerheads say it ain't so,

(02:57):
say it ain't. So this hasn't really popped up at
all in recent years. Why would it? The Chiefs have
been so good in this run of dominance. Well, now
some picking apart on what's going on in Kansas City.
So the relationship there's in on the verge of cracking,
breaking apart into little pieces of Andy Reid and Mahomes.

(03:17):
Problems more serious than anticipated with Kensa City. So this
all because of some comments made by Andy Reid recently
after the latest Chiefs loss, losing to the Denver Broncos,
Andy Reid seemingly calling out Patrick Mahomes. He was asked

(03:38):
about the lack of a running game for the Kansas
City football team, and Andy Reid pointed out, well, I
think calls were made. Now let's go to the audio tape.
Take a listen.

Speaker 2 (03:49):
We're calling the quite a few of the RPOs. So
yesterday they were given as opportunities to throw the football,
so we utilize as the opportunity is there, and those
things end up being as good as a run for you.
We're getting four plus yards and and you go with it.

(04:10):
But the runs are being called. It's just you know
sometimes they they get turned into into passes in today's world.
You know that's how it goes. So but we're getting them,
We're getting the man. Now, we have some hard runs
where you just get up, lineup and go. Probably could
call more of those we're calling.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
Okay, so there's Andy Reid there. But anyway, the gist
of that was, Hey, we're making the calls like as
a coaching staff, we are telling them to run the football.
And in today's world, he said, you know, that's how
it goes. The runs are being called. It's just you
you know, sometimes they turn into passes in today's world. Well,
that was the imp implication was that was a shot

(04:51):
at Patrick mahomes here as he would audible or change
the play to accommodate the passing game for Kansas City.
So that is a good jumping off point. Let us
discuss the question you just heard the audio was, was
Chief said coach Andy Reid poking the bear? Was he

(05:11):
poking the bear by essentially saying, Hey, I'm doing my
job as a coach. It's his fault. Mom's changing the play,
abandoning the running game that we're making the calls. That's
all we can do is coaches. That's what it sounded like.
So my observations on this, I have Midwestern mom, hurts,

(05:32):
rental car, and cocktail party, and we will combine all
of these things together and we are going to make
some fetichini alfredo and some delicious garlic bru. That sounds good, right,
It can't go wrong. I've only had bad fetichini alfredo
one time. Every other time it's been good. Every time
it's been good. So number WA, I said, number W.

(05:57):
That's right. Number So, based on minutes long deliberation of
the available evidence from Andy Reid and Mahomes, I have
determined the court of the Ben Maller Show is determined.
This was absolutely one hundred percent a shot at Mahomes
with a chuckle, with a chuckle at the end of it.

(06:18):
This wasn't subtle. This was read between the lines, kid,
is what this was? Andy Reid. Now, he might look
like Santa Claus. That looked like Santa Claus, like he's
a jolly good fellow. Was nobody can deny but on
this one, that was a body blow, body blow, body

(06:40):
blow over the play calling from Mahomes. And he said
when we called the runs is what he said, and
Mahomes made them passes. That's that's essentially what Andy Reid
will say. And that is the message. That is the message,
and it was wrapped in a nice little bit. It
was a red bow just like the Chiefs colors had

(07:03):
little red bow there. Passive aggressive, passive aggressive, like a
Midwestern mom asking if you really need seconds, which is
her way of saying, you fat pig, why would you
need more food? Indirectly critical with a nice warm tone.

(07:24):
It's it's like, oh, would you really need seconds? Okay,
I'll get you, I'll get you some more pasta? Why not? Yeah?
Look when the audibles audible audible audible, When the audibles
lead to touchdowns, nobody says the word why would you?
You're not gonna say a word when they don't, the
offense is sputtering, and it wasn't. The Chiefs still had

(07:46):
a chance to win the game. Defense makes some plays there,
they still they beat the Broncos. But the offense it
was kind of blah. It's kind of bla and Broncos
have a good defense and all that, but Kansasity's offense.
If you look at the way things are going the
last month or so, the Chiefs offense has gotten worse,
not better, even though they've got their playmakers. And suddenly
the Chiefs look like a middle of the pack NFL team,

(08:09):
which is, oh, by the way, what they are. And
they will be fighting with Jacksonville, it would appear, based
on what we're doing the show today, for one of
the final playoff spots in the division or in the
conference rather. And they lost to Jacksonville because one of
their defensive players, their top defensive player, got lazy and
decided not to hustle a How great is that? Wouldn't

(08:33):
that be the perfect way for the Chiefs not to
make the playoffs? That keeping up with the Joneses couldn't
get off his fat ass to go make a play,
and he was walking while Trevor Lawrence stumbled and bumbled,
got up, stumbled and bubbled again, got up and scored
a touchdown while Chris Jones is like la la la
la la la la la la la la la la
la la la la la just like that. So there

(08:53):
you go. This is officially based on the data, this
is officially the first time since Patrick Mahomes became the
man the QB number one, since he took over the
number that missing the playoffs is a legitimate possibility for
the Chiefs, like they're gonna have to overperform. They've underperformed

(09:15):
so far. They're gonna have to overperform to get into
the playoffs. And that's not gas bagger reed, it's media nonsense. No,
it's not that. That is reality with a capital ar
is what that Isn't Andy Reid. We know he's not
a rookie. He's only got a little time left as
an NFL coach. Who knows. If this thing continues to
go the way it's going any we could be forced

(09:36):
out at the end of the year. This could be
his final season as coach of the Chiefs. If they
don't make the playoffs, they'll say, oh, he's too old.
They need a change, it's time to replace Andy Reid.
A big red come on, go to retirement, Go go
to Dana point there in so cal knock yourself out.
And it was a shot Andy Reid. That was his
way of saying, and went on roll it back a

(09:56):
little bit stop. Stop freelancing. It's not a freelance job.
Stick to the script. Do that kind of stuff in
the moment, because mahomes he keeps checking out of runs
and setting up because of the inefficiency of the passing
game quite a bit these days. It sets up third
and long and then they'll they'll be watching the playoffs,

(10:20):
hanging out eating delicious kettle corn like we are watching
the playoffs. So Andy Reid again, he didn't just poke
the bear. This is not just a poke the bear situation.
He yanked its tail and rang the dinner bell, is
what Andy Reid did with that. And so the pressure
gets cranked up. There's sound of the actual actual bear,

(10:41):
very hungry bear. It's not a bear and underwear. No,
it is not all right now page two to Sea
Attle we go. That's right. The Seahawks still licking their
wounds after losing, because the Rams can ram it all
day and ram it all night. So one veteran NFL
coach making a statement recently about the Seattle Seahawks and

(11:04):
their situation with a stout defense and pretty good special teams,
and this unnamed, unnamed NFL coach, NFL coach giving a
reminder of the many limitations that Seattle has with Sam Donald.

(11:24):
With Sam Donald, So this NFL coach told the athletic
behind a paywalt, the old gray lady said, quote, Sam
is just going to have that in him for life.
Of course, that would be the four interceptions he gift
wrapped to the Rams. He's going to have that in
him for life, the coach said to the athletic. He said,

(11:45):
he will play great Sam Donald. He will play good
Sam Donald. Then he is going to have those plays.
Problem is, quote continues, problem is when you yet established
as a playoff team, everyone is scared to death that
is going to happen. Close quote and oh, by the way,

(12:07):
we touch up his work there. It often does happen.
It happened last year. It's going to happen again this
year for Sam Donald. So that's the deal. The question
on this one, what do you make of the Sam
Donald quagmire that the Seattle Seahawks find themselves in. Yeah,
I know it's a cartoon character. Did they find themselves

(12:27):
in a quagmar? So, Seattle, this is a great reality check.
Things are going great. Think everything's wonderful. You're a big
man on campus. Everything's so just glowing the football gods.
The football gods are smiling until they're not. And Seattle
has put a team together that has a built in

(12:48):
liability they do. The liability is called Sam Donald. That's it.
And get knew that moment was gonna happen when you
signed up for Sam Donald because it's part of the
Sam Donald package. That's what it is. It's an underlying
condition you signed up for it. I know, JJ and

(13:09):
Rent's not happy about it. I see crying Craig out there.
He's upset and Nosterdinas. It's like, Oh my god, what
am I gonna do to what kind of lies am
I gonna spread to Mallard here to try to defend
Sam Donald? What am I gonna do? Yeah, so you
can have the greatest defense in the world. You're gonna
have good special teams. And if Sam Donald does that,
you're going to lose. You're going to lose, and eventually

(13:29):
you're going to have to play in big games. Just
gonna happen. A guy will play and the lights will
get cranked up in the stadium. There it be National TV,
the crowd will get a little bit louder, and his
brain the Sam Donald brain will start doing geometry and
then realize he went to USC so he doesn't know geometry.

(13:51):
Donald is like a Hurtz rental car or any other
rental car. I just happen to use Hurts. I like
a rental car that you get at the airport and
then it's got to check engine light on. And they said, well,
that just always has it. I don't worry about that.
We checked everything. Everything's good. And they say, okay, you're
sure about that because it says the check engine light.
I don't know if I feel comfortable driving the automobile.

(14:12):
And they say, don't worry about it. We've rented this
car one hundred times. Have never been any issues. It's
always on. It's just a glitch in the car. But
the car runs fine. You're going to enjoy the car,
thank you very much. All right, So you get in
the car, you put your suitcase in there, you put
a couple of bags in the car at the Hurtz
rental car, and then you leave the airport and then
everything's clean, the car smells good, drives fine. And then suddenly,

(14:36):
right when you get on the highway there the interstate,
the transmission drops out of the car. That's Sam Darnald.
That is Sam. He's fine on surface streets and then
you get on the highway and it doesn't go very well.
There interceptions. That is a personality trait of Sam Donald
in big games. And this is why coaches are terrified,

(14:58):
absolutely terrified of having s Donald. And you can have
Superman for fourteen or fifteen games and then at some
point somebody brings some kryptonite to the stadium. How did
they get that into the stadium? Did that get through
the metal detective? Well, I don't know how it got in,
but there is kryptonite. Uh oh yeah. Oh, So you

(15:19):
don't just downgrade Sam Donald. You downgrade the entire Seattle
Seahawk twenty twenty five team with Sam Darnald. You just
do all right, whatever you think they're going to do,
just downgradeed a couple of slots. You just have to
downgrade it. There's there's a cap on how far you
can go for Seattle. Here with a quarterback who can

(15:42):
spontaneously combust, and Donald's good enough to put up some
gaudy stats in random one o'clock games on a Sunday,
and he's flawed enough to ruin your whole football viewing
experience for the twelves. It's foot purgatory, is what it is,
and that is the Sam Darnold experience is what it is.

(16:06):
All right now, final point to Chicago. We go. We
go to Chicago despite a seven and three record. I
believe that is their record. My computer like brain tells me.
There are some around the NFL who are questioning the
relationship between the head coach, Ben Johnson. Show me your

(16:29):
Ben Johnson and the quarterback Caleb Williams. Well, how could
that be? I don't understand. The Bears are good. I
don't get it. Well, the athletic again, the old gray
lady there. They recently had a defensive coach who has
played against the Chicago Bears, an unnamed defensive coach, who

(16:51):
suggested that Williams, Caleb Williams, that his style of play
does not suit Ben Johnson's coaching, that it's a mismatch here.
Despite the team having a good record, it's a bit
of a mismatch. And Johnson is still, of course, in
the early stages his first year as a head coach.

(17:12):
He's trying to trying to help the Bears take the
next level. If you look at the record, everything's going
great there and all that, and make Caleb Williams a
reliable starter. I was the top pick in the draft
in twenty twenty four. The quote was to be honest
with you. This is from the unnamed defensive coach. To
be honest with you, I think Ben, meaning Ben Johnson,

(17:33):
is frustrated with him. Caleb doesn't play on time and
doesn't do the things that allow the offense to get
to the next level that Ben is used to said.
Ben Johnson was able to scheme up max protection things
for Jared Goff in Detroit and run guys open. This
guy can't do that. So now it's all off schedule ball,

(17:54):
which is uncontrollable for a coach. Close quote question Bears
coach Ben Johnson frustrated with Kayleb Williams. Up and down,
up and down? Play? Is this fair or is this foul?
Is it fair or is it foul? That's the question.

(18:15):
So based on an expedited review, fair ball, fair ball,
both feet inbounds faarirball. All right, now the lesson here,
you don't judge a book by its cover. That's what
they said. Dot don't judge a book by its cover. Okay,
We're not going to judge a book by its cover,
but we're going to look at the book based on
the pages. So the pages we've opened the book, the

(18:36):
pages got bent in the book, and there's some coffee stains.
I don't know. I don't drink coffee. There's some coffee
stains there. And someone tried to make an art piece
on page twenty seven with broken crayons. So there's that.
So that's how we're going to judge the book. Listen,
Caleb Williams, what a cocktail part of this guy is?
Caleb Williams, You got five game winning drafts. I think

(18:59):
that number is right, five game winning drives. Yet the
internal clock, if you look at the clock, tick tick
tick tick tick does a common bond on the overnight
tonight the clock it's broke. The clock is not right there.
He's finger he's the fingernail painter at quarterback, if you
know what I mean. And looks great on the gram

(19:21):
social media looks very good there. But when it's third
down and eight and Ben Johnson needs a timing and
rhythm play, not so much. He's out there freelancing like
he's at Lincoln Park playing some pickup ball seven A
grand old time there, beautiful Lincoln Park. Now what is
my evidence? What is my evidence here?

Speaker 3 (19:42):
Now?

Speaker 1 (19:43):
He's late much. We talked last hour about Geno Smith
and some of these other guys who do the same thing. Well,
this is another example of holding the ball for too
long three point three four seconds on average, which is
an eternity for an NFL quarterback. Williams completion rate is
below se sixty percent. He's bottom five under pressure, twenty

(20:04):
fifth in red zone touchdown rate, which I'm told is
not good. I'm told that's not good. And then when
his nails get chipped inside the twenty yard line in
the red zone, receivers have to be making circus catches
for the Bears because he cannot seemingly place the football

(20:25):
outside of five yards with any kind of consistency when
you watch the Bears play there. And so I get
it now. Publicly, everything's going great. The Bears are winning
some games and all that stuff, although Ben Johnson did
call out the work habits of some of the Bears
players earlier this year. But they're winning, and yet you
think Ben Johnson is frustrated that things are not completely clicking,

(20:48):
Like you win enough of these close games. You think, Okay,
that's great, but it's not a sustainable formula. And to
think that you're longing for Jared Goff, who has to
be spoon fed. Ever, that Jared Goff is like beautiful
sheet music on time and all that stuff, and it's like,
what are we doing? And Caleb turning the Bears offense

(21:10):
into a jazz improv night with a couple of people
that have never even heard of jazz music performing. What
are we doing here? And it's at a bowling alley
down the street, Like, well, that doesn't seem like it's
going to be very good at all. It doesn't seem
good at all. It's all off schedule, all that stuff
all over the place. And I buy it. Ben Johnson,
you got the public and the private. Publicly, everything's great.

(21:32):
The Bears are winning privately is like, well I did
I thought this guy would be better. I don't understand.
I could have had any job I wanted, and I
took this job because of this guy. And this guy's
helter skelter. It's the Caleb Williams who's very talented. However,
a roller coaster, a roller coaster with loose bolts is

(21:53):
what he is, and the Bears are winning often despite him. Well,
how could you say that you don't know ball?

Speaker 4 (22:00):
You no ball?

Speaker 1 (22:01):
Well, okay, field goals, lucky kickoff returns, special teams, blunders
either by the other team or defensive blunders. And again,
you're not going to live like that long term. So
the Malar panic meter is rising. The malar panic meter
is rising. The Bears better pray that the nail polish

(22:26):
dries before the playoffs start, because right now you don't
want to play with wet nail polish. You gotta let
that drive for a few minutes. It is the Ben
Maler Show. If you'd like to be part eight seven

(25:18):
top of the board. We go now to Tokyo and we
say hello to Hank in Tokyo on the iHeart app
Hello Hank, Welcome, Hey.

Speaker 3 (25:27):
Ben so Ben was the Andy Reid monologue intended as
a listing comprehension test.

Speaker 1 (25:34):
Well, I don't know what you're talking about. It was
a fine monologue. I just pointed out Andy Reid taking
a subtle shot at Patrick Mahomes and pointing out that
he was calling the right plays, So the Chiefs were
calling the right plays and that Mahomes was switching it up.

Speaker 3 (25:48):
Yeah, well, that's actually exactly not.

Speaker 6 (25:50):
What he said.

Speaker 1 (25:51):
Exactly just play. It's exactly what he said. The sound
exactly what we exactly what he said. This is how
life gets misinterpreted.

Speaker 3 (25:59):
He said that that there are r p os and
the defense was giving him a look where they should
go to pass. They played the pass plays and it
was as good as a run because the yards per
play is about four yards, so it's as good as
a run. To was that he should have called more

(26:19):
hard run plays, meaning run plays that you can't check
out us and man, that's on him, Andy Reid, that's
not on the quarterback.

Speaker 1 (26:28):
So two things, uh. Number One, you'd be a terrible
talk shows. That's number one, uh, number one, number number two.
Uh if you you don't listen to tone and the
tone from Andy Reid, the tell the dead giveaway was

(26:49):
the chuckle. Because Andy knew that, he said something, play
do we play it again? Can we play it? Play
it if you listen. When Andy throws the kill shot,
he chuckles, and that's the tell. Let's play it again,
let's play. This is Andy Reid on.

Speaker 2 (27:01):
The quite a few of the r p O s so, uh, yesterday,
they were given us opportunities to throw the football. So
we utilized the opportunities there and those things end up
being as good as a run for you. We're getting
four plus yards and and you go with it. And

(27:21):
but the runs are being called. It's just you know
sometimes they they get uh turned into into passes in
today's world. You know that's how it goes.

Speaker 1 (27:30):
So, oh see, that was a chuckle. That was the tail.
The chuckle was the tail. It was a half a chuckle.

Speaker 6 (27:38):
Girl.

Speaker 1 (27:38):
Man, I mean, I'm a middle aged talk show host.
I have a talk show to do.

Speaker 3 (27:42):
That are absolutely irrelevant.

Speaker 1 (27:44):
What are you talking about?

Speaker 6 (27:46):
What you're you're You're wrong?

Speaker 1 (27:52):
I mean, I'm not listen. I'm telling you I'm not wrong.
You're you're wrong. Hank, You're you're double wrong because you're
calling up it's costing you money and you're wrong. You've
got it. That's a bad take.

Speaker 3 (28:05):
You're a thirteen year old girl, long on Little New One.

Speaker 1 (28:07):
Well the drop was a nine year old girl, not
a thirteen year old girl. So it's funny as well.

Speaker 4 (28:12):
I'm giving you a credit for being thirteen, not nine.

Speaker 1 (28:14):
I don't know that I want to be thirteen. That's
that's a terrible age to be a girl. There's a
lot of stuff happening. I don't know that I want
to be that. You know, I'm just saying I'm out.

Speaker 3 (28:21):
Okay, let's let's pivot.

Speaker 6 (28:24):
Cooper, are you available? Coop?

Speaker 1 (28:25):
I got no Coop's out. You know he's not available.
He's taking nab come on, yes, well.

Speaker 3 (28:31):
Oh good good. So in September, Ben did a monologue
on his Fifth Hour podcast that he said he did
not cover on the radio show, and so let's cover
it on the radio show. He had a hazmat situation
in his car where he stowed and.

Speaker 1 (28:49):
Well, Coop doesn't listen to the podcast.

Speaker 3 (28:51):
He has no idea in his own group for fifteen minutes.
He's got a medical situation. Not making fun of his
medical situation.

Speaker 1 (28:57):
Well, it's called having your gallbladder taken out. When you
have adler taking out, you're more prone to certain issues.
Big ben gall butter, the big gallbladder.

Speaker 3 (29:05):
You stewd in it for fifteen minutes. So so my
question is if in the unfortunate situation where you stew
in your own goop from fifteen months and you finally
get under the house, is your first action to A
throw the clothes away or B put the clothes in
the washing machine.

Speaker 1 (29:22):
I mean, I suppose it depends on how much.

Speaker 3 (29:25):
Okay, so it was so much that it was I
love this.

Speaker 1 (29:29):
That monologue was like two or three months ago. What
you're bringing up why all of a sudden, now, Hank,
that's a that's a two month old molar monologue on
the Fifth Hour podcast and you're bringing it up now
on the radio show. That's a bad job by you
and what you should have called right away. Shame on you,
all right, cause listen, you don't value clothing and all that,

(29:49):
and you apparently you're a baller. You just throw your
clothes out. You're like Floyd Mayweather. What is a washing machine?
For means to wash clothes? That's what it's for.

Speaker 3 (30:01):
All.

Speaker 1 (30:01):
I gotta go, Hank, Thank you, my god, very combative, Hank.

You're good? Right?

Speaker 4 (35:08):
No, definitely not.

Speaker 1 (35:12):
Okay, alright, alright, my god, that's all the freaks are out,
so doing your governor like duty. A lot of rumors
bouncing around the echo chamber here in the overnight about
Lane Kiffin and is he gonna go to Florida? Is
he going to go to LSU. The rumors around LSU
have been cranking up overnight. There's a story out that

(35:35):
Lane Kiffin spent supposedly two hours chatting with the Governor
of Louisiana, Jeff Landry, about about the LSU. Two hours.
That seems like an awful conversation, Like what can you
who talks that long? Exactly? It sounds like bull crap
to me. Even if you wanted the job, you don't

(35:58):
need two hours on the job. It's not like Lane's
never been to Baton Rouge right over the years, is
he's coached with teams that have gone into Baton Rouge
to play games, And so it's like, what are you doing?
What is the governor going to give you some kind
of special pardon on something that we don't know about?
Come on? That's the story going around overnight. There's also

(36:19):
a story that old miss is freaking out. There's a
story that Lane Kiffin's ex wife met with possible suitors
on a private trip and it's tied into the job
and I don't understand. It's like, why does X who
cares about the X wipe? I don't get it. All
kinds of we're at that point. Now, we're at the

(36:40):
point now looking at schools. I think Lane's kids are
out of the school age. I think there might not
be going to college, but they're not looking for elementary
schools and things like that. So love chatter about that.
It is the Ben Mahler Show. We got Mallard of
the third degree. Here's the Insta trivia. Blank is the
only undrafted player in the history of the NFL to

(37:03):
win Defensive Player of the Year. Again, Blank the only

What is the answer? Milkman Mike says, it's the two
karens Hollowing James and weed Man Hippie alf the Alien
Opiner says, John Cena is the answer. Who else do

(38:40):

Simmons is the way to go? Jed who Fled's pharmacist
tossed out by just Josh in Cincinnati. Chris have a seat?
Hansen from Rob the goat Man was Brian Bosworth from

(39:01):
Eloy from Compton. Diddy Kong guest by Ferk Dog. Who
else we have? Bobby Bell from Robbie the Mariner Fan,
Alan Page guest by Andy and Lionel Lakes, Minnesota, John
Randall from Eke in Roseville, Minnesota. Who else do we have?
Paige Dan can't read that? Some nonsense by jj uh

(39:26):
jj and written Atillo is going with Tony Gabba Ghoul
as his answer. Jj and Written also says the show
has turned into the Ben Povid show from time to time.
It does it does happen? Uh? Robbie the Mariner fan says,
I like that guy Hanking in Japan, but he's clinging
onto a random monologue from months ago to correctly call

(39:47):
out your lack of knowledge on the difference between RPOs
and a heart run play.

Speaker 3 (39:51):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (39:52):
That's a bad job by him. I think that's what
he meant. Oh, do you have an answer, Lorena? Yes,
currently defrosting. It's gotta be Mariah Carrey is it Mariah Carey, No,
it is Pittsburgh Steeler legend James Harrison. James Harrison the
only undrafted player to win Defensive Player. Here, here we go,
Here we go, but here we go, here we go,

(40:18):
get grilled, Here we go? Cool?

Speaker 7 (40:22):
Ben, Yes, the Indianapolis Colts are eight and two. Me
then they're coming off a buy and they face again.
They face off against a five and five Chiefs team
this week. Yes, yet they're currently three point underdogs.

Speaker 3 (40:35):
Now.

Speaker 7 (40:35):
Colds wide receiver Michael Pittman Junior said he prefers when
people underestimate them.

Speaker 1 (40:39):
Ben, are you among these people?

Speaker 4 (40:41):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (40:42):
Am, I under estimate. I don't think I'm underestimating. I
have the Colts as a team that's gonna be a
fraud team because Daniel Jones is gonna kill them in
the playoffs. They're gonna have to need it. They're gonna
need a touchdown drive and he's progressed and everyone's all
excited about that, but I don't buy it. So yeah,
I'm on that team. If that's the team, I want
to be on that team. That's the side. And there's
a reason the Chiefs are favored is because the people

(41:03):
that make the odds in Vegas believe they're the better
team next.

Speaker 7 (41:06):
All week leading up to the Broncos game against the Chiefs,
analysts and fans alike, we're calling the Broncos frauds. Well now,
analysts done in about face and they're all saying Denver
deserves respect after that latest win. Then do you agree? Uh?

Speaker 1 (41:22):
Well, I was not on that. Yea. I picked the
Broncos in that game, as you know, cool because you
watch Beny versus the Pan on YouTube. So I had
the Broncos in that game and all that. Whatever, here's
the way the meter works. Whatever happens, they just react
to and that's what whoever won they love.

Speaker 7 (41:36):
Next, the ballots for the twenty twenty six Baseball Hall
of Fame class have been announced. Some analysts are saying
that only Andrew Jones and Carlos Beltran would get in
next year.

Speaker 1 (41:45):
What do you think Beltran can't get in? He was
part of the cheating Astros. And Andrew Jones became a
whale when he played with the Dodgers, so I wouldn't
put him in either. So no, neither one here? You
all right, you passed, that's a win? Cheata Cheatah cheetah,
Carlos Beltrant cheetah,

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
