1 00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:10,639 Speaker 1: Herbert and Joan Pasco touchdown Allen and floats into a 2 00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:18,480 Speaker 1: ward opened Kelsey. Flag is down, Kelsey still rumbling inside 3 00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:23,880 Speaker 1: the fire down in the one. Here is Kelsey still going, 4 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:31,560 Speaker 1: still going. Kelsey good tonight touchdown She's wanted. That was 5 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:36,360 Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey doing what Travis Kelsey does, which is just 6 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:40,200 Speaker 1: making plays after the catch when it doesn't make any sense. 7 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:47,159 Speaker 1: Chiefs thirty four Chargers. I'm Greg Rosenthal in what is 8 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:51,760 Speaker 1: shaping up to be a throwback night in the westling manner, 9 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,240 Speaker 1: next to one of my best friends in the world, 10 00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 1: Lakeisha Wesley, and the Chiefs threw it back. That felt 11 00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 1: like Chiefs Patrick Mahomesa making some magic at the end 12 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:08,039 Speaker 1: of regulation and breaking the Chargers hearts once again. Now 13 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 1: that was such I think I'm still in shock and 14 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 1: how that ended. I know your mom was in shock. 15 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 1: Rhoda came in with about two minutes left. She's she's 16 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:22,319 Speaker 1: saw that it was one Chargers. We must be real here. 17 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,320 Speaker 1: We were kind of pulling for the Chargers tonight. They're 18 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 1: the hometown team. We were enjoying the story. She was 19 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 1: excited to watch the last uh couple of minutes, and 20 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,560 Speaker 1: I think what we've found out what Rhoda found out, 21 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,759 Speaker 1: and I think what Dan hands is his kids found 22 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 1: out because they're at the game tonight, is this is 23 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 1: what a Chargers fan. Uh, it's what it's like to 24 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,040 Speaker 1: be a Chargers fan. Because just when you felt like 25 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes and this Chiefs team like wasn't really themselves, 26 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 1: the last three drives of that game, they go touchdown, touchdown, touchdown, 27 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 1: and it starts with that Kelsey play where he's making 28 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 1: all or it's a crazy uh moves in the open field. 29 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 1: He never makes sense because he's not that fast, Like 30 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 1: I don't know whatever. You can defend him like every 31 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 1: time and I just look around him, like where where, 32 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 1: Where's where are the defenders? I don't understand, Well, they're 33 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 1: on the bench. Derwin James was out at the end 34 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 1: of that game. I think that was big for them 35 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: because the seer out of Lee, who who's the starter 36 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: at safety, took some bad uh angles on those plays. 37 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 1: But still he's got the two of them. Mahomes and 38 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 1: Kelsey have like a sense of where the open spots 39 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 1: on the field was. But there was a point in 40 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 1: this game where I almost felt like Patrick Mahomes needed 41 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 1: it to be difficult to actually make the plays, Like 42 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,519 Speaker 1: he can't make the routine plays. He's got to make 43 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: the plays where they're just improvising. That's when they're at 44 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 1: their best. A two point conversion play comes to mind. 45 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 1: When they went to go try to tie it up 46 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 1: twenty one all he has a wide open throw in 47 00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 1: the flat, doesn't take it, a little spooked out because 48 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 1: Nuohsu had already intercepted a past like that. Mahomes had 49 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 1: short armed another pass like that in fourth and goal. 50 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 1: This game had everything was absolutely insane game, So he 51 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: doesn't take that. Then he sees his secondary rechiever streaking 52 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 1: wide open. Doesn't take that. It doesn't want it. I 53 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:22,679 Speaker 1: don't know why. It's almost like Patrick Mahomes needed the chaos. 54 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 1: I'm kind of like that too sometimes sometimes you know, 55 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 1: you I'm not saying I'm Patrick Mahones, but you know 56 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 1: I'm close when it comes to podcasts. Like I'm kidding, 57 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 1: but like it's almost like doing the easy stuff is 58 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 1: too easy for him, and he didn't want either of 59 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 1: those two throws. So what does he do. He starts 60 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 1: sprinting around and he find throws the ball across his body. 61 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 1: Hits the two point conversion and then it was like 62 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 1: it was on the next two drives. I did not 63 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 1: feel too confident when the Chiefs won that overtime coin 64 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 1: toss and it ruined a great effort by the Chargers. 65 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 1: I just, man, seriously, was so far up for that 66 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 1: entire game and just to like end like that is 67 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 1: just like, okay, so that's fair. But Chiefs fans are 68 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 1: listening to this like you're killing us here, and neutral 69 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,480 Speaker 1: fans are listening to this thing, and you guys are 70 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 1: being silly because this was like a great game. This 71 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,360 Speaker 1: was one of the games of the year. It had everything. 72 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: With the failed fourth down conversions, Uh, don't even talk 73 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 1: about that, turnovers on both sides. Uh. It ends up 74 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 1: with the Chiefs almost getting five hundred yards from scrimmage 75 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 1: the Chargers get over four hundred yards, like these two 76 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 1: quarterbacks going back and forth in the fourth quarter and 77 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 1: then into overtime like that's what we want. And it 78 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:50,480 Speaker 1: hurts for Chargers fans, but they split with the Chiefs 79 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 1: this year that they are not going to win this division. 80 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 1: They are now down to with three to play, and 81 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 1: they got swept. It's over. This was a huge result 82 00:04:58,080 --> 00:04:59,840 Speaker 1: in terms of the Chiefs trying to get that number 83 00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 1: one seed, and now it's gonna be that much more 84 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 1: difficult here for the Chargers to make the playoffs. And 85 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 1: they're they're not they're not hosting a game, and so far, 86 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm pumped for the playoffs though, like bring 87 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 1: it on, Like I'm I'm ready for these games to 88 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 1: really mean some stuff. Well that that is what I 89 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:19,720 Speaker 1: was thinking watching this tube is was like December Football's 90 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say it's underrated, but I think people 91 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 1: forget the point of the Like last three to four 92 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 1: weeks of this season are the best three to four. 93 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 1: I like week one, but after that because you're back 94 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,360 Speaker 1: and just excited for everything. But after that, the last 95 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,599 Speaker 1: few weeks, when these games mean more, really are the 96 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 1: best games. And I thought Monday Night's game was like 97 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 1: the first Oh, like that that changes a little bit 98 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 1: how I see the rest of this season. And then 99 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,479 Speaker 1: this was another game that we will absolutely remember. And 100 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,719 Speaker 1: but part of the reason is the fourth downs, So 101 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:53,599 Speaker 1: let's talk about them. They frustrating you. At the time, 102 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 1: I was just like, you know, I get it, but 103 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 1: now looking back, it's like, dangn did they really leave 104 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:03,599 Speaker 1: all those points out there? Like? Okay, they did, But 105 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 1: that's part of the process, I think, And I know 106 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,040 Speaker 1: there's a lot of people that are that are killing 107 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,039 Speaker 1: them for this. First of all, I hate the people 108 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 1: that they like it when it works and they're mad 109 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 1: when it doesn't. And I guess what I would say 110 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 1: is like, get used to it, because this is how 111 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 1: football is gonna be played sometimes. Now, not always, not 112 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 1: all coaches gonna be like that, but when you have 113 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 1: a baller like Justin Herbert and a coach like Brandon Salley, 114 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 1: it's gonna it's gonna be played like this sometimes. The 115 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 1: second thing I would say is like, they went for 116 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 1: it on fourth down on one of their touchdown drives, 117 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 1: So you're adding those points up when you're taking those 118 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 1: field goes away because you gotta They hit another fourth 119 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:52,279 Speaker 1: down also later in the game. Uh, and then they 120 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 1: ended up fumbling on the one which was right before 121 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 1: my homes through the interception, and so it's like that 122 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 1: fourth down and eventually ended up helping, you know, set 123 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 1: up scores. And as much as like you don't want 124 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 1: to hear like that, the math makes sense of it all. 125 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 1: The fact that they hit that one fourth down and 126 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 1: scored a touchdown on that drive, even though they didn't 127 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 1: get the other two times, like they were still in 128 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 1: this game because they scored the touchdown earlier. So like 129 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 1: to me, it all makes sense. And it also comes 130 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,679 Speaker 1: down to, like everyone wants to talk about decisions because 131 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 1: like we've played Madden and like we can kind of 132 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 1: imagine being coaches more than than being players. But like 133 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 1: they could have scored those touchdowns, they just didn't. I 134 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 1: I don't understand why everyone takes the agency away from 135 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 1: the players. Mike Williams dropped a touchdown on that first 136 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 1: drive before the fourth down. That fourth down was a 137 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 1: good throw. It didn't end up being complete because Donald 138 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 1: Parham got hurt. Well we'll mention that in a second. 139 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 1: That and that is a scary situation, and so that's 140 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 1: why that didn't happen. Another one, you know, Jared Cook 141 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 1: couldn't hold down to a ball that he could have. 142 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 1: Another one is tipped. But the plays before that, in 143 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 1: those plays, it's like those are the two teams going 144 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 1: at each other in an athletic competition, and on those 145 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 1: plays the Chiefs one and the Chargers lost. So it's 146 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 1: like that's what sports is to me, you know what 147 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 1: I mean. Like, and so people get so worked up 148 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,080 Speaker 1: about the fourth down decisions, like you left points on 149 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 1: the board. There's no guarantee the charge is gonna hit 150 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 1: that those kicks, especially not the forty eight yard or uh. 151 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 1: But it's also like make those plays. They dropped two touchdowns. Yes, 152 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 1: they could have scored fourteen more points, but it was 153 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,320 Speaker 1: just like they didn't. They didn't make the plays. They 154 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,679 Speaker 1: definitely made the game way more exciting that I will 155 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:44,560 Speaker 1: say that. I mean they didn't need to. I didn't 156 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:48,679 Speaker 1: need it to be more exciting. I was just like, 157 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 1: roll up some points, because the whole time you're watching this, 158 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 1: you're thinking they needed to pile up points early when 159 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 1: their defense was actually playing dotty well against Mahomes. They 160 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,439 Speaker 1: give up the opening drive touchdown, that first drive. You 161 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 1: knew it right then. You were like, this is not good. 162 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 1: This is not good. When they didn't score. Yeah, when 163 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,440 Speaker 1: they didn't score. I mean when a Charger's game starts 164 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:16,320 Speaker 1: with Mike Williams basically two drops and you know, one 165 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 1: in the end zone, one on the one yard line 166 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,840 Speaker 1: where he fumbles it backwards a couple of yards and 167 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 1: then the par and play which was which was really scary. 168 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 1: And he he is in the hospital now we might 169 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 1: as well mention it. Um. They're not saying anything other 170 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 1: than stable condition. But he's a tight end for the Chargers, 171 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 1: big dude six seven, And uh, we're just hoping and 172 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:41,320 Speaker 1: praying that he's okay because that was one of the 173 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:45,560 Speaker 1: scariest hits we've seen. And that's it's it's so unfortunate 174 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 1: and just that that play being a big play in 175 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,840 Speaker 1: the game is almost like a a sideline to everything 176 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 1: that happens. But I guess my point is, like, yeah, 177 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 1: they they should have run Austin Ekeler a little more. 178 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:57,720 Speaker 1: That would have been nice. Like when they did he 179 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:02,200 Speaker 1: did score a touchdown. Um, but it's like you go, 180 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:05,079 Speaker 1: you know, like why get so mad at the decision? 181 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:08,200 Speaker 1: Why why not just be like she's she's won those 182 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 1: plays you got if you're the Chargers, Like, I get 183 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 1: what Brandon Staley's trying to do, and I'm with it. 184 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:22,560 Speaker 1: I'm with it. He's a cold Sorry, we just looked 185 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:36,079 Speaker 1: at her. She's just like whatever. Justin Herbert was pretty 186 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,960 Speaker 1: cold here. I mean I mentioned this to you before 187 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 1: he even came over here that this is like a 188 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 1: year where I've watched the least amount of football, just 189 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,960 Speaker 1: because it's like I'm usually running around with old one 190 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:49,960 Speaker 1: and a half year old trying to pay attention to 191 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,960 Speaker 1: a game, and just I hear so much about Justin 192 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,679 Speaker 1: Herbert and just to like, you know, be able to 193 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 1: watch an entire game and just to see like the 194 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 1: throws and plays that he made, it's just like wow. 195 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, you you told me that. When we 196 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 1: come over, You're like, don't you know you gotta do 197 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,719 Speaker 1: the heavy lifting, And I'm like, please, this will be 198 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 1: people's favorite there is anything because we got like Wesley, 199 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 1: this is a big get for me. Uh Like Rhoda 200 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 1: is a big part of that. We kind of offloaded 201 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 1: the link duty. She was watching links so that you 202 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:23,440 Speaker 1: could be like, Rhodes come an take notice. I just yeah, no, no, 203 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 1: but Rhodes come a long way from like the ghost 204 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 1: plays and stuff like. That's one reason why I was 205 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 1: so excited to have you over here. But you didn't 206 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 1: get a chance to really watch that much with her 207 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 1: because she her knowledge has just she's crazy. Tyler Huntley. 208 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,440 Speaker 1: You didn't even know about Tyler Huntley. She was saying 209 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,679 Speaker 1: like that that that was his you know, he's a 210 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 1: little lamar and the excitement level like that's I still 211 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 1: have that childlike excitement watching these games still. And yes 212 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,360 Speaker 1: I will mention Greg got up two times to do 213 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 1: a little dance, I know, and then it all went 214 00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:58,720 Speaker 1: for not but no, some of the things I really 215 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:00,440 Speaker 1: liked about her burn this game, I'll be like the 216 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,199 Speaker 1: arm strength and everything. But late in that game, um, 217 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 1: when they started mixing tempo, when they were like speeding 218 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:10,679 Speaker 1: it up and flowing it down. The one thing, uh 219 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 1: that they didn't do, though, is get the game winning 220 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 1: field goal when it's I mean, you have to give 221 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 1: Herbert credit for, you know, getting to fourth quarter drives 222 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 1: to take touchdown leads. It's like they did ultimately, uh 223 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:26,680 Speaker 1: move the ball and then get that touchdown to go 224 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 1: up one. But they did get the ball back with 225 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 1: a minute and twelve, I want to say something like 226 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 1: that left with their time outs a chance to get it, 227 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 1: and that to me was the key sequence of the game. 228 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 1: Because the Chiefs forced a couple in completions, there was 229 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 1: a penalty by the Chargers and the Chiefs got off 230 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,240 Speaker 1: the field there in a moment where it was like, 231 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,800 Speaker 1: I didn't think it was gonna happen. I thought I 232 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 1: was gonna do it. Mhm, shaking her head, all right. 233 00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 1: Some other images from this game. It ended and they 234 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 1: showed this on the Fox. I don't I don't know 235 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,079 Speaker 1: if people saw this unless you watch the post game. 236 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:08,320 Speaker 1: I didn't see it until then. After Kelsey scores the 237 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:13,920 Speaker 1: game winning touchdown, Mahomes gets up and he is yelling 238 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 1: something fierce. I don't know exactly what he's saying, but 239 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:21,119 Speaker 1: he's gesticulating with his arms over at the charger's sideline, 240 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:25,200 Speaker 1: and that was something that was a division robbery. I 241 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 1: don't know if he's talking to someone else, but I 242 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 1: don't think so. He's talking to everybody that was saying, like, 243 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 1: you know, he's falling off and everything. It was. It 244 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:37,320 Speaker 1: wasn't as obvious as the Aaron Rodgers I own you, 245 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,439 Speaker 1: you know, because we didn't. We didn't hear exactly what 246 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 1: he was saying. But he was looking at the opposite 247 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 1: sideline and he was telling them where the a f C. 248 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,840 Speaker 1: West goes through, that we are the champ still and this. 249 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,079 Speaker 1: I think the Chiefs have had a couple of moments 250 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:54,960 Speaker 1: like this during the season I think the throw he 251 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 1: had at the end of the Packers game was like this, 252 00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 1: but if ever they needed to feel a little bit 253 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 1: more like the Chiefs. He's pointing to his chest. It's like, basically, 254 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 1: you better get those four downs against me, you better 255 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 1: put up forty five. And I do think that's big 256 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,719 Speaker 1: for Kansas City as they move forward to to get 257 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 1: a win like this against a team that really plays 258 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 1: like the type of defense that in theory has been 259 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 1: given the charge. The Chiefs the most amount of struggles 260 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 1: this year, and normally I usually root for the Chiefs 261 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:29,160 Speaker 1: because of my Midwest ties, but I'm rooting for Chargers 262 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 1: ram Super Bowl like Chargers have been there before, like 263 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 1: I want something different. I just I work with so 264 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 1: many Chargers fans and it's just like to see the 265 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 1: depression that they had for so many years, and just 266 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 1: Chargers are going to charge like they deserve it. And 267 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 1: yet this was like the ultimate Charges charging because it 268 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 1: was setting up that way the whole time, and they 269 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 1: roped you in with the great way that her replayed. 270 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:55,760 Speaker 1: And that's why I don't think for the most part 271 00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 1: that the Chargers are charging. I think they're a little 272 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 1: bit of a fo odd team that's playing their best 273 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:03,680 Speaker 1: late in the season. I still feel pretty good. I 274 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:07,000 Speaker 1: think that they're gonna make the playoffs. But this was 275 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 1: a game where derwy Derwin James leaving late or was 276 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 1: a little bit after half time to me, to me 277 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 1: was it was massive. I'm just I was, you know, 278 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 1: we're all winners tonight. I got to come over here. Yes, 279 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 1: it's like it. Yeah, so many thursdays of you and 280 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 1: West and me looking at you and West taking notes 281 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 1: wondering what you guys are writing down and just like 282 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 1: the scientist at work, like it was. It was awesome. 283 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 1: Like I was getting like a little kid before he 284 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 1: even like got over here. So this was a great evening. No, 285 00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 1: I when I think I wanted to get linked saying touchdown, touchdown, 286 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 1: and he wouldn't do it for you. It's so frustrating 287 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,560 Speaker 1: because now, like even if I have like the Round 288 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 1: the NFL podcasts on, like he'll just start yelling like touchdown, touchdown, 289 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 1: and it's the freaking cutest thing. And I even said, 290 00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 1: like uncle Greg's coming over and he was like touchdown. 291 00:15:57,920 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 1: I'm like you gotta do that when he gets here, 292 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 1: and then he like phrases up and it's just like, 293 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 1: come on, dude, Yeah, I mean, kids are like that. 294 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 1: But the fact that he's already in the car and 295 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,120 Speaker 1: first of all that you're playing the podcast and the 296 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 1: car is impressive. It was after I watched splint Ins. 297 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 1: Just gonna say good splint En. Um. Yeah, people gotta 298 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 1: just listen to him back to back. I UM, I 299 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 1: don't know how I think of Chris so so much. Obviously, 300 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 1: I thought of him a lot when we went to 301 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 1: that Chargers game, um against the Steelers. I really missed 302 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,800 Speaker 1: him there and I was kind of pissed, you know that, 303 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 1: Like anger came to me that night. But tonight and 304 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 1: like Thursday Nights are such great memories. I really associate 305 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,880 Speaker 1: him with Thursday Nights because when we were doing it 306 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 1: out of the office, it was very often me and 307 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 1: him um, and that was like one of my favorite 308 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 1: ways to watch a game that I've ever had in 309 00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 1: my whole life because we were sitting there. We were 310 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,160 Speaker 1: both facing this same way, so we have the desk 311 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:06,240 Speaker 1: next to each other. You remember the setups, and it's 312 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:10,119 Speaker 1: the only time that you're we're sitting together watching the 313 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,720 Speaker 1: game and there's there's no other games on, like you 314 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:16,480 Speaker 1: can take the game as it's coming. And so we 315 00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:19,960 Speaker 1: talked the whole time. We'd be we'd be commenting the 316 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,719 Speaker 1: whole time, what we liked, what we didn't, what we 317 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 1: saw everything, and that was just like best, you know. 318 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 1: And then it's like, okay, it's half time. You gotta 319 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,119 Speaker 1: go like run upstairs, try to get there early to 320 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 1: get in line. And then we'd be like complaining in 321 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:37,760 Speaker 1: line and like talking about what happened in the first half, 322 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:41,080 Speaker 1: and you're making small talk with everyone that's there. Make 323 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,879 Speaker 1: me cry because I used to like get the food first, 324 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,879 Speaker 1: and I try to um because I know sometimes you 325 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 1: guys would get so busy, so I'd always try to 326 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,320 Speaker 1: snag them like a plate because once you guys would 327 00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:54,680 Speaker 1: go into the food will be like all gone, oh wow, yeah. 328 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 1: And eventually our our other great friend that we missed to, 329 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,719 Speaker 1: our deaker, would hook us up with the with like 330 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,239 Speaker 1: the talent food line just be like, you guys can 331 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:08,200 Speaker 1: come come into this kitchen get better food.

But that was that was like 333 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 1: I think of him more just like about the times 334 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:17,520 Speaker 1: we had as just friends. But to me, that was 335 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 1: like great football times. And then we brought it to 336 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,240 Speaker 1: a few years later we would start doing that over here. 337 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:27,640 Speaker 1: So we started, you know, taping the TNF games here 338 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:32,199 Speaker 1: and the same conversations that it started. We we just 339 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:35,840 Speaker 1: got you know, I think Dan Dan or Ricky Erica 340 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:37,720 Speaker 1: got the idea that we had the equipment we could 341 00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 1: start just like ping ponging and do it at home, 342 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 1: and that was a great idea. And so then it 343 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:44,640 Speaker 1: was like that same experience, except of course I got 344 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 1: to eat your food, which oh yeah, I wanted to 345 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 1: take this in the green room today, but it's a 346 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:52,679 Speaker 1: little nippy out there. Um. So we're we always are 347 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,439 Speaker 1: thinking of Chris. I know our our listeners are too, 348 00:18:56,040 --> 00:19:00,159 Speaker 1: um and we appreciate that, you know, and so we it. 349 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 1: I always embrace the opportunity to like feel him a 350 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 1: little closer. So I definitely do tonight sitting here watching 351 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:11,159 Speaker 1: the game, and I got in and Justin Herbert was 352 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,199 Speaker 1: his dude last year that we would talk about the 353 00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,480 Speaker 1: most that wrote about it in QB Index. I thought 354 00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:19,160 Speaker 1: this was like the perfect night, you know, Justin Herbert, 355 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:24,920 Speaker 1: our guy playing great. And then I remembered every other 356 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,280 Speaker 1: time I watched the Chargers with West and it would 357 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,920 Speaker 1: be the same thing. I picked the Chargers. I would 358 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,480 Speaker 1: get all into the Chargers and they wouldn't. They would 359 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:35,000 Speaker 1: lose the game and heartbreaking fashion. So this is this 360 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:37,439 Speaker 1: is just like just like it always was. This is 361 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 1: a perfect game for tonight. So we uh we appreciate 362 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:47,920 Speaker 1: everyone listening and whatever whatever you think you uh want 363 00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,040 Speaker 1: to do in your life. That means like he'd the call, 364 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 1: you know. To me, it means like coming here.
