em rewhere hanging out together. We are, we are, and
we are where sports and suspense collide, unless that is

ponderously throw that past? Microphones of fsre emmating live from

wron teen Human from the world famous Fox Sports Radio
studios where the Nature Boy answering the call to the

(02:08):
while Derek the Bill's Monsters Now podcast listener and our
buddy whatever to Mikey the insomniac in Tampa. He said
he was having phone issues and would call us in
a month, and it's been like six months. What happened him?

Play the hands, moll Man, play the heads. Now we
got the Hall of Fame game. We Hall of Fame
Game is to nights, two nights. I always love the

(03:15):
Hall of Fame Game. I do the same rant every year.
I will watch the Hall of Fame game for about
five good miss. This is my plan. Anyway, you got
the Panthers and the Cardinals. Do I care about the
Panthers and Cardinals? Hell no, And I certainly don't care
about the exhibition roster for those teams. Now, if you
are a gambling degenerate, and you would have to be

(03:38):
a gambling degenerate to put any kind of money on this,
there is a point spread and Carolina is a one
point favorite in this game. One point favorite Carolina over
the Arizona Cardinals, the NFL's Hall of Fame Game, And

(03:59):
so it begins. Now, keep in mind, this is just
a sampler because the rest of the NFL exhibition season
will actually kick off a week from today, August thirteenth,
that's week one. This is a standalone Hall of Fame game.
Thinking a jig next week it is on like don't
get Kong, So that'll be next week. So there you go.

(04:22):
All right. Anyway, enough of that to Kansas City we go,
the only city that is home to the world famous
Ben Mallard chicken fingers. How lucky are they? In fact,
when you check out the Chamber of Commerce, they say
one of the places to see in Kansas City is
the landing in Liberty, Missouri, because of the Ben Mallar

(04:44):
chicken figures. Now that aside, apparently Travis Kelsey has been
enjoying too many of those chicken fingers, the Mallard chicken fingers.
Did you see this? So Travis Kelsey recently, obviously all
these guys showed up to training camp and kind of
got a lot of attention. I got a lot of attention.
This offseason. Had some little wedding, you know, some small

(05:05):
wedding in front of thousands of people at Madison Square Garden,
the Mecca. However, much of the talk over the last
week or so had been about the physique of Travis Kelsey,
specifically the whispers in hush tones that Travis Kelsey somehow,
in the span of just a month picked up a

(05:26):
dB A dad body, the dad body. Come on out.
If you're a middle aged man, whether you have kids
or not, you get the dad body. It just happens.
So chiefs coach Andy Reid was asked about this. He
entered the chat. Did Andy Reid A confirm that Travis
Kelsey's a big tubble lard, B said Travis Kelsey is

(05:50):
in good shape? Or C said no comment. It turns
out that Andy Reid he dismissed the criticism. He went
with B. He said, Travis Kelsey came back good shape.
He looks the same to me that he's always looked.
Close quote read went on to praise Travis Kelcey's level
of effort, which I do you really need to praise

(06:12):
isn't that just supposed to be the way It is,
like you're supposed to put effort in. You really need
you praise effort? Okay said he wants to he's playing
like crazy and he wants to play every snap and
even though it's his fourteen season, coming up. So that
is a good jumping off point. Let us discuss. So
the question, did Andy read successfully calm the storm around

(06:36):
Travis Kelcey and his dad body or did Big Red
unintentionally pour barbecue sauce all over the fire? So on
this one, I've got tom cruise, pre existing medical condition,
and tiptoeing, and we will combine all of these things
together and we are going to go but is what

(07:01):
we're going to do. We're gonna go to go bananas
and then we're going to have some gabbaghul is what
we're gonna have to kick off them, Andy Reid. If
you look at the Bible of Cliches, right there on
page seven of the Bible of Cliches, Andy Reid read
that page verbatim, coaching one oh one back Travis Kelcey.

(07:24):
Andy reads like the union rep who's defending the employee
who was sleeping and the plant caught on fire because
he was sleeping on the job, and the union rep
defended him because that's what they do. It is admirable,
But who's really, you know, buying it now? The chiefs

(07:46):
are claiming that and this is actually accurate that several
of the videos that got a lot of play were
actually AI videos, Like a couple of them were completely
obviously AI. In the videos, Kelsey looked like his podcast
was sponsored by the Golden Corral and he was their
biggest customer. And you know he was a big fan

(08:09):
of Austin Powers. He was doing some cosplay Kelsey in
those AI videos as fat bastard. That's what he was
going for. Nevertheless, at aged was he thirty six? I
believe Kelsey the numbers are doing on a dipsy do,
and how do you do on the dipsy do? Repelling

(08:29):
the performance of Kelsey the last couple of years, he's
been repelling down the side of Arrowhead like Tom Cruise
in one of the Mission Impossible movies, the mid thirties
edition of Mission Impossible. Now, Kelsey's his burst, which everyone
said was elite. That's how he got to the Hall
of Fame. And now his burst, it would appear based

(08:52):
on some of the clips online. Please allow three to
five business days. It'll get there eventually, if I'm not mistaken.
He has not had a one thousand yard season since
twenty twenty two, which I don't think is great. That's
a baseline for a star pass catcher and his yards
per game are in the gutter. Travis Kelcey, there have

(09:12):
been some big dropped passes or passes that were off
his hands. So the obviously the decline is there. Whether
he's a fat ass or not, the decline is there.
It's undeniable and Big Red can defend this guy all
day long. However, if the Chiefs are depending on Travis Kelcey,
they're cooked. There's other guys that are gonna have to

(09:33):
step up. Obviously, for the Chiefs, Kelsey is there as
mostly a decoy, I would think if they're doing things
the right way there and then they'll mix him in
occasionally rare and appropriate. However, if the mantra of the
twenty twenty six Chiefs is we are gonna feed Travis
Kelcey so he does look like he has a dad body.

(09:53):
If that's the plan, well you're done. You'll be looking
up to tuck Us at the Chargers and the Bronco
in the AFC West. Furthermore to Baltimore we go where
new Ravens coach Jesse Minter. It's gonna take a while
to get use of that. Jesse Minter is the head
coach of the Baltimore Ravens. Where have you gone harball anyway?

(10:14):
So Mintor pushing back, pushing back now against the criticism
he did this recently of Lamar Jackson, saying the constant
questioning of his franchise quarterback, jesse Minter said, quote drives
me insane. That sounds like a shot at sports with Coleman,
my buddy, who's a Baltimore media mogul. Shots fired by

(10:35):
jesse Minter. Now Mentor argued the coach of the Ravens
that Lamar Jackson remains one of the NFL's elite players
despite sucking at a time you cannot suck. During the
twenty twenty nine to five season, in which Baltimore finished
with a losing record and did not make the plus,
I don't think that's good. Oh you're being mean, Mallar.
You're being mean, Maller. I don't think that's real. I

(10:57):
think that's ridiculous anyway. So it is like Jackson didn't
get a new contract and they're coming to a fork
in the road there in Baltimore where there's gonna be
so much manipulation that has to happen. It's unrealistic that
he can play on the contract past this year. So
there is a point of demarcation, a line of demarcation

(11:19):
that's going to be crossed.

Speaker 3 (11:20):
So this is.

Speaker 1 (11:20):
A pretty big rebound year after a underwhelming campaign and
did not meet the very lofty expectations created, didn't play
like an MVP. And so jesse Minter said that he
has complete confidence in Lamar Lamar Jackson expects him to
thrive under the new staff. Blah blah blah blah blah

(11:43):
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.

Speaker 3 (11:45):
Right.

Speaker 1 (11:45):
So question, does Ravens coach jesse Minter truly believe that
Lamar Jackson will thrive or is this just the classic
new coach hunting moon drivel. So after a brief deliberation
of the available information, we have ruled the Court of

(12:07):
Mahler has ruled that jesse Minter is sipping a pina
colada under a palm tree. However, he's worried about El Nino.
We used to have a caller named El Nino, El
Nino holding an umbrella. He's holding the umbrella there for
Lamar Jackson like he's Mary Poppins of the AFC North

(12:27):
there the Baltimore edition. So of course he what did
you expect You think he's gonna come out to Oh yeah,
I think that me being hired, Lamar is somehow going
to suck this year. He's not gonna get better, He's
gonna get worse. All right, come on now, he coaches,
They will lie right to your face. They lie more

(12:48):
than realtors. There's a lot of lying. And regardless that
the very reason that Jesse Mintor is coaching Baltimore, not
John Harbaugh, is that Lamar Jackson, and it was it
didn't get a lot of attention in it. But he
has been diagnosed. And it's always tough when you get
these diagnoses, and it's a lot, a lot of emotion
and you're calling friends, you're getting therapy. He has been diagnosed,

(13:13):
Lamar Jackson with a pre existing medical condition and it
was actually first diagnosed on The Seinfeld Show back in
the nineteen nineties. The medical conditions called shrinkage. Every January,
Lamar gets baptized in ice. He takes a polar plunge
every January and it's a religious experience, but not a

(13:35):
good one. And there's shrinkage and mintor can promise that
Lamar will thrive, but you know what that means come
playoff time. He's coaching a classic Frosty the Stoneman. Yeah,
it's a winter wonderland. Being balconized and politicized is part
of the all inclusive package when you're a headline NFL quarterback,

(13:58):
And as we have pointed out, if you lie down
with the dogs, do not be surprised when you get
covered in fleas. Pointing out his annual meltdown, which we
do every year. It's like the swallows returning to Capistrano
or punk Satani Phil. Will you see his shadow in
Pennsylvania and other places. It's an annual tradition unlike any other.

(14:19):
It's not criticism, it's just being objective, right. It's a
fact based situation. It's like saying, well, the sun rises
in the east. Well, yes it does, and it sets
in the west. That's how that works. Now, if it doesn't,
that's newsworthy. Last thing to the belt Way we go
and everyone's favorite wide receiver, well at least for the ladies. Man,

(14:43):
this guy you talk about, the ultimate Rico Suave. The
ladies can't get enough of this guy. I'm talking about
Stefan Diggs, and he has agreed to a contract. He's
back in the NFL. The former Patriot has joined the
Washington Commanders, the team formerly known as the Redskins, banking
on Stefon Diggs, giving quarterback Jaden Daniels another weapon, a

(15:09):
guy that had been established as a number one wide receiver.
All right, so here's the question for the esteem panel,
which you are part of. Is Stefon Diggs still a
true wide receiver, number one type guy? Or are the

(15:30):
Commanders just simply buying the name and what's on the
back of the jersey and that's it. So anyone, any man,
woman or child, believes that Stefon Diggs is a top
shelf wide receiver. You are an elephant named Dumbo. Congratulations. Now,

(15:52):
if Diggs were still elite, riddle me this batman, do
you think he would have been available to sign a
contract in the first week of August? You think he
would have been sitting in Well, why was he sitting
at home while training camp has gotten underway for a
little bit. So the NFL sent a text message. It
was written in that disappearing inc The NFL told you

(16:17):
what this guy is. The Patriots somehow squeezed out a
bit of a fluke season where they got to a
super Bowl and then did nothing against the Seattle Seahawks
in that super Bowl. They got there, and see you
figure the dopamine hit from getting to the super Bowl,
Diggs would be welcome back, except no, his ass was

(16:42):
grass and he was dumped and they found a new
girlfriend or this cause a new wide receiver, AJ Brown,
and so the other part of it, you look at
the contract. Dig signed a one year contract which we
are told is incentive laden. And that's it. After camp open. Now,
let's translate that. I'm gonna use Google Translate. That means

(17:06):
the following. The NFL and the Washington football team are
telling Stefan Diggs. They're saying, we don't trust you, bro.
That's it. This is like an extended trial. It's like
an extended trial. And and Diggs is tiptoeing across the
NFL tightrope with no safety net, no balance pole, and

(17:30):
no crowd watching. At this point, he's one slip away
from becoming the latest jock podcast host. That's where your
future is. And Washington's receiver room, they have a clear
pecking order, right They have the totem pole. There at
the very top of the totem pole is Terry McLaurin.
He's at the very top. Then they've got a bunch

(17:51):
of guys we've never heard of. And the plot a
puss in the in the in the room is and
here's the platypus in the room. Terry mcclauch is established
as the top wide receiver. He's King of the hill
eight number one. Given Diggs's history of really embracing the
dor the drama o rama in Minneapolis, boy, we had

(18:16):
some zany times with him with the Vikings. Buffalo. Here
we go, buffalo all over those targets. Is he really ready?
Is he really ready to be the mashed potatoes and
gravy next to the Porterhouse steak? Is he really ready
for that? Ah? Me thinks not so much. Me thinks

(18:42):
not not the case. Alright, it is the Ben Mahlor Show.

we were back at it. A demotion, that is a promotion.
Well what is that about. We'll get to that. Saw
Odell Beckham back with the Giants, like nothing happened. If

(22:21):
you've been in a coma, he used to play for
the Giants and he's back and all that, and he
just put on the charm how much the Giants mean
to him and how much he loves playing for the
Giants and all this stuff. And I'm like, I don't
really remember that at the end when he was playing
for the Giants, I don't recall that. But maybe I

(22:42):
blocked that out. Maybe he always loved playing for the Giants.
I know they signed him to a contract and then
traded him to Cleveland, which is the football version of
Siberia when you're playing for the Cleveland Browns. So there's that.
Fergdog writes and says, Ben, if you were a plumber,
would you recommend one piece or two piece toilet design?
I'm in the market for one right now. Well, great question,

(23:04):
and you don't want to go cheap on the toilet.
You figure, if you've got your innards working in the
right way, you are going to use that toilet. And
many times each day you're at your house, so I
cut corners on certain things. The toilet you do not
want to cut corners, and so you look at the
high end and the medium end. You don't look at

(23:26):
the low end. You look at the high end and
the medium end of the toilet. I would say the
one solid piece would be the way to go, although
I've had both style toilets over the years. It's really
toilet preference. And do not forget the bedet. I do
not forget the bedet, very important for good hygien and

(23:50):
save money on toilet paper. I'll ask you back to
the phones and we'll say hello to eeny meeny, miney mo.
Let's say hello to two percent chance favorite in the
backwoods of Alabama. Hello, two Chance, welcome.

Speaker 5 (24:06):
Man.

Speaker 3 (24:07):
I've took an ambient four hours ago. It's made this
show ten times better. Stay awake on it.

Speaker 1 (24:13):
But okay, good news. The show's better when you're drugged up,
so that's good, thank you.

Speaker 3 (24:19):
I had to make up for my story, man, my
near death experience. You didn't seem to like that story.
So I think I think Kelsey's dad bods and checked man,
because anytime he eats, now, you know, Andy reeves with
him saying give me those nuggies right. And I also
think that Diggs will ever be a number one again.

Speaker 1 (24:44):
I think, uh, what do you think about the price
of gas?

Speaker 3 (24:48):
I think it's pretty insane, man. It's hard to get
around on it. And I go, darn job the job
man doing what I do. So it's it's crazy crazy man,
it's crazy expensive.

Speaker 1 (25:02):
It is expensive, man.

Speaker 3 (25:05):
Ask Loreena. I have a question. So, once you're in
a relationship, girlfriend, wife, whatever, will be a girlfriend, when
is it okay, you know, in an appropriate setting to
pass gas in front of them every vice versa.

Speaker 1 (25:22):
Well, you you've come to the right place. I think
this is a very important question on sports talk radio
that does not get addressed enough.

Speaker 3 (25:29):
Hey Burnet guy snorre Man, you.

Speaker 1 (25:33):
Sure about that? So it's one of those things that
is not I feel like this is not discussed. You
can't really discuss that chance you can't. I feel like
there's not a conversation. It just kind of happens. It's
just at some point the bodily functions take over and
you just start to Now. I know when I started,
you know, obviously dated. If you be married for a

(25:54):
while but was dating, I would always The worst for
me was the hotels in Vegas because they got one
bath through them. So I would always go to that's
the worst, right, I mean, and there's no I have
a man who's like lactose intolerant, and you go and
eat like cheese pizza and they absolutely destroy the bathroom exactly.
So what I would do as a courtesy, I would

(26:15):
go to the lobby where the casino was, and I'd
pooped there because I was a kind pooper and I
wouldn't want it right. I'm a thoughtful person and so uh,
plus I can make as much noise as I want
in there. And tu it away and it doesn't matter. Son.

Speaker 3 (26:32):
My my wife Ecker, I don't know. We were together
three four years before we got married. You know, she
was a morning pooper. She would hide it as best
as possible. And if I happen to be walking by
the bathroom and I heard a noise and I like
giggled to myself, she would be mortified. I guess it's
different for everyone. Man, uh, all right, we'll.

Speaker 1 (26:59):
Be talking about urine next week when two percent chance call.

Speaker 5 (27:05):
Somebody alreadys got the market corner on that.

Speaker 1 (27:08):
That's true. We got the dock, you got the doc
locked and loaded. Let's go to Josh, who's in Viva
Las Vegas. What's going on? Josh? Welcome?

Well, welcome back to the dreaded Overnight Shift, my man,
thank you. Josh there in North Lost Burgess, let's say
hello to Mike. They let Breck gone, by the way,
I need some judges if you want to start yapping
and calling and being part of the next big bit
that we have on the show, which is a few
minutes away. It's called fact or Fiction. Mike. The Lepperton

(29:52):
is here. Before we get to Mike, though, did you
see that Garrett Crochet who's been interested? This is the
most amazing the Red Sox. There one guy considered their
top offensive player, has been hurt. Their top pitcher, Garrett
Crochet's been out and the Red Sox have been playing
at a record clip here for the last month. Well,
Garrett Crochet, he was asked about coming out of the

(30:14):
bullpen when he eventually returns to the Red Sox and
did he a pull a Raffael Devers and say, no,
I'm not doing that, it's below me be no comment
or C said yeah, I'd be cool with that. Well,
the answer is he's cool with it, he said, yeah.

(30:35):
He said, he claimed there's no ego about it. It's
something he's done before. And he said he's all for
the I'm trying to do this. I'm doing the story.
Mike the lepercum, why are you interrupting me anyway? So
he said all about the team goals and all that.
Now the thing about this, though, yeah, it's cool. He's
doing the right thing and that's that's great. Although you

(30:57):
got a factor into this that he signed, if I
believe it was one hundred and seventy million dollars contract
with the Red Side, so he's already got his money.
So that's what you should do. Like the thing that
was worried about Raphael devers Is he got his money
and he was still a douche. Yes, Mike the Leprechaun. Yes,
Mike the Leprechaun.

Speaker 7 (31:18):
I agreed he should do his part for the team
and roll my nine twenty his doctors route. He's springing
it back for the first time in two months. So
they're on a road. But I'm not about my children.
They hit my rubber chicken. I can't find it anywhere.

Speaker 1 (31:35):
Are you sure they took it? How about somebody maybe
broke in?

Speaker 7 (31:38):
Okay, it's always in one spot and it's gone, but
it didn't just anyway away.

Speaker 1 (31:43):
What if it's like wait, wait, wait, wait wait wait.
What if it is like toy story and it came
to life and walked somewhere else at night? The toys
come to life. It's possible you rubber chicken came to
life at night and walked away. How about that.

Speaker 7 (31:56):
That's a good theory, but it's wrong anyway.

Speaker 1 (31:59):
It's not wrong. They made like five They made like
five toy story movies. Dude, it's obviously read us. They
wouldn't keep making them.

Speaker 7 (32:06):
And the last film was brilliant. They had the tech
kicking over their old fashioned toys.

Speaker 1 (32:11):
Anyway you need to give you don't need to give
away the latest movie, dude.

Speaker 7 (32:15):
Okay, come on, that's it's a It's okay anyway, I'm
I hear Jalen Brown is looking for love in all
the wrong places? Correct, Jalen Brown?

Speaker 1 (32:26):
Well, he's looking on the internet. Is that the wrong
place to look at?

Speaker 7 (32:29):
My girlfriend? She's the only one I got. How was
the rain of liking the corgi? Speaking the toys?

Speaker 1 (32:38):
Lorraine? Has the Corgi changed your life?

Speaker 3 (32:42):
No?

Speaker 1 (32:42):
No, but thank you, thank your children forgetting that for me.
It was very thoughtful.

Speaker 7 (32:46):
Okay, okay, And it's not a voodoo dog, so I
don't worry texting me.

Speaker 3 (32:52):
I like bacon.

Speaker 7 (32:53):
I don't like bacon for breakfast, to be honest, and
I like being different, which are fine. If I was
going to shooes between a hurricane and I tornado, I
would certainly take a hurricane playing because they're very secure
and they go into the eye of the storm, which
is about forty miles. That's a way siaper thing than
he on the ground with a tornado, which is.

Speaker 1 (33:13):
Very That's what that was. You copied off my paper.
That was my answer. We had that question last hour,
would you rather drive out where the tornadoes are or
fly up in the sky where the hurricane is? And
he's said, yeah, they send weather planes and hurricanes all
the time, right to measure the wind speed and all
the science crap that I don't.

Speaker 7 (33:30):
Know, Bara Patrick, So Coop Coop has a few interesting
poufts to him. One, he buys the most expensive gas.
Then he's cheap on his aca.

Speaker 6 (33:40):
At the house.

And he doesn't like country rust music. So like very
interesting personality.

Speaker 1 (33:48):

car was over two hundred and forty thousand miles and
he still drove it. Isn't that crazy? Two hundred and
forty thousand miles. This guy, that's that's how long cars
should last. I agree with you, they should last that long. Yeah,
what car lasts the longest?
