So normally I am 19 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 3: joined by Danny G. But Danny's on assignment right now. 20 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:16,480 Speaker 3: He is working with Covino and Rich later this afternoon. 21 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:18,479 Speaker 1: I'm still here producing this bad Boy. 22 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 4: I'm not panicked. 23 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 1: You were stuck with just dear old me that would 24 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:25,959 Speaker 1: be me being Ben. That's it. 25 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,480 Speaker 3: That's all we have is me on this podcast, and 26 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 3: we have a lot of ground to cover. My right 27 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 3: hand was getting a workout, a lot of ground to cover, 28 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 3: and we're gonna we're gonna jump right into it. As 29 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:46,839 Speaker 3: you know, on these Friday podcasts, we try to have 30 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 3: a lighthearted look at things that are going on. We've 31 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 3: done a lot of sporty stuff the last couple of weeks, 32 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 3: and I think we'll continue that because the big. 33 00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 1: News of the week, which came down. 34 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 3: Yesterday, the demise of Bill Belichick, as he turned out 35 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:12,520 Speaker 3: the lies the parties over Bill Belichick exiting stage left 36 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,799 Speaker 3: from the Commonwealth out as coach of the Patriots after 37 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 3: a miserable season that saw in New England be so 38 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 3: bad they end up with the number three pick in 39 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 3: the NFL Draft. Now, how do I relate to the 40 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 3: Belichick story? Did we do monologues on the Overnight Show 41 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,640 Speaker 3: a few hours ago? Yes, of course we did. But 42 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 3: I have an interesting spin on this and it relates 43 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 3: to the TV show. So you know that we do 44 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 3: the show in La Me and Looney do Benny Versus 45 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 3: the Penny in Los Angeles, But the show is produced 46 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 3: out of NBC Sports Boston. Our guy Vinnie and the 47 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 3: production team mostly is in Boston, and another big executive, 48 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 3: NBC John is in Philadelphia. And everyone's been great. Everyone's 49 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 3: been wonderful on the TV show. Could not have been 50 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 3: nice or very positive if not used to that from 51 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 3: working into radio all these years, and in the radio business, 52 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,920 Speaker 3: people usually negative. So it's really cool to have all 53 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 3: these positive people. But it was very stressful yesterday when 54 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:15,079 Speaker 3: we were recording this episode of Benny Versus the Penny, 55 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 3: the Super wild Card weekend episode, because coinciding with that 56 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 3: taping of the show was a rather massive neutron bomb 57 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 3: that was dropped for those that care about sports, for 58 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 3: those of us that work in the sports world, in 59 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 3: our little world, this was a big deal that Bill 60 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 3: Belichick had been excommunicated from. 61 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: The Patriots Brona Cincinnati. 62 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 3: And so what this means when you work at a 63 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 3: TV station or radio station that covers sports, I think 64 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 3: we know what happens. You are going to blog that 65 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 3: to death, is what you're going to do. You are 66 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 3: just going to pound that story over and over and 67 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 3: over again. And so our friends at NBC Sports Boston, 68 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 3: while they were producing Benny Versus the Penny. We're doing 69 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 3: copious amounts of work to deal with the bed of 70 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:17,160 Speaker 3: thorns that is Bill Belichick. It was a Bellachickian edition 71 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:21,719 Speaker 3: of Benny Versus the Penny because everyone's running around. As 72 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 3: our guy Vinnie told me, he said, all hands on deck, 73 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:29,159 Speaker 3: all hands on deck, and everyone was trying to present 74 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 3: the greatest coverage they can. They were doing reaction shows. 75 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 3: They were going non stop, non stop reaction to Belichick 76 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 3: being out with the Patriots. 77 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 1: It's a great story. It's a great story. 78 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 3: Depending on how old you are, we likely will not 79 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 3: ever see a coach have a run like Belichick. This 80 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:54,279 Speaker 3: usually happens once every couple of generations, So that would 81 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 3: mean we would skip a generation and we'll have a decade, 82 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 3: a couple of day where there's really nothing like this 83 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 3: on the table, and then eventually somebody will come along 84 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 3: who is a little hoggler right now, little. 85 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: Kid or maybe hasn't even been born yet, who. 86 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 3: Will hold the stage and have the reins of a 87 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,840 Speaker 3: dominant NFL team. But for those of us that are 88 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 3: around my age, this is it. This is like the 89 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,359 Speaker 3: last great NFL coach and it just is a weird 90 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 3: Quinkie dink that we happen to be doing the TV 91 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 3: show at the same time that all that went down, 92 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:35,600 Speaker 3: And exciting news for Benny versus the Penny. Not only 93 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 3: did it continue into the plus we qualified for the playoffs, 94 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,919 Speaker 3: which is exciting because they could have just dumped the 95 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 3: show at the end of the regular season and said 96 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,839 Speaker 3: that's it, you're good. We did the regular season and 97 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 3: there's not as many games to pick in the playoffs. 98 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 3: And there's also the issue of we do one show 99 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 3: a week, which is actually three shows, but it is 100 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:04,839 Speaker 3: weekend program. The TV show airs on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. 101 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,360 Speaker 1: That would be the week. So if you have Wildcard 102 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 1: games on Saturday and games on Sunday and then games 103 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:15,600 Speaker 1: on Monday, by the time the show airs on Sunday, 104 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 1: there might only be one game left to break down. 105 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 1: So what do you do. 106 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:27,479 Speaker 3: So the fine executives that NBC Regional Sports Networks said, Okay, 107 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,039 Speaker 3: we'll do the show on Thursday. We'll then release it 108 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 3: to the affiliates on Thursday night, the same day that 109 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 3: we record the show, and allow them to start playing 110 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 3: it on Thursday. But everyone's been very cool. The show 111 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 3: is still going to air a number of times on Friday, 112 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 3: which is today and Saturday and then Sunday. In fact, 113 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 3: I looked at the schedule. We will be on SNY 114 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 3: in New York, our weekly timeslot that we've had all 115 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 3: football season, eleven thirty am in the Big Apple on 116 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 3: SNY on Sunday and today tonight, a couple of showings 117 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:09,159 Speaker 3: on NBC Sports Boston, assuming we don't get bumped for 118 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 3: more Belichick coverage. But we were on at seven thirty 119 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 3: tonight primetime and nine o'clock. I love the seven to 120 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 3: thirty slot on NBC Sports Boston. Here's why, cause there'll 121 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 3: be some people that are creatures a habit that just 122 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 3: assume the Celtics who play they usually play. The Celtics 123 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 3: usually play on Friday, so maybe they'll turn on NBC 124 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 3: Sports Boston thinking they're gonna get the Celtics and they'll 125 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 3: get my fat ass with Looney Tunes breaking down the game. 126 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 3: So that's tonight seven thirty and then at nine o'clock 127 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 3: an encore showing. We're on in Philly night if you're 128 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 3: listening in the Delaware Valley at eleven thirty, you can 129 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 3: watch that on NBC Sports Philadelphia. Chicago got a ten 130 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 3: to thirty time slot tonight on NBC Sports Chicago, and 131 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 3: in the Bay Area they love Benny versus Depending on 132 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 3: NBC Sports Bay Area. 133 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 1: We've got three showings. That's pretty cool. 134 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 3: San Francisco here we come three pm, nine pm, and 135 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 3: eleven thirty pm. And we're also on NBC Sports California, 136 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 3: which is home the Sacramento Kings at eight o'clock tonight, 137 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 3: in a couple of showings on Saturday in the La 138 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 3: market on sn Why but I have a voice in 139 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 3: my head, and the voices is Danny G. It's like, Hey, 140 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 3: I know I'm not here, but you moron. Just tell 141 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 3: people to check their local TV listings. And so I 142 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 3: probably should have done that, but I just gave most 143 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 3: of the schedule, at least for today. 144 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,079 Speaker 1: So I guess I'm not good at this, but that 145 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,960 Speaker 1: I just wanted to mention now. 146 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:39,239 Speaker 3: I wanted to turn the page for a second and 147 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:44,439 Speaker 3: spend at least a couple of minutes acknowledging a tip 148 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:49,319 Speaker 3: of the headphones.

I know some of you because. 157 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 3: You've interacted with me, whether you're a character on the 158 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 3: show or you're a show contributor. 159 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:31,439 Speaker 1: In one way or another, I know you a little. 160 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:33,959 Speaker 3: But there are people that I have no idea who 161 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:35,840 Speaker 3: they are, who are just fans of the show and 162 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 3: they love dogs and pets, and they sent me a 163 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 3: nice message and it's very kind, and you didn't have 164 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,560 Speaker 3: to do that, and I appreciate it, and thank you. 165 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 3: I loved being Bella's companion and enjoying my dog's time. 166 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,319 Speaker 3: And she was so amazing when we first got her 167 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:57,679 Speaker 3: and for years, but she got old and it's one 168 00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 3: of those things that for me, the reason this was 169 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:04,079 Speaker 3: very traumatic, But there was two reasons. I love the dog, 170 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 3: and then number two is I had never actually been 171 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 3: the adult in the room in something like this. It 172 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 3: had always been someone else. I've had a bunch of 173 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 3: dogs my mom. We had a dog named Oliver. There 174 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 3: was a dog named Corny when I was a little kid, 175 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:19,720 Speaker 3: and so I've always been a dog guy, you know, 176 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 3: who let the dogs out. That's my thing, that's my jam, 177 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 3: the dogs. All about the dogs. And so with that 178 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:28,840 Speaker 3: being said, dogs live, they don't live as long as us. 179 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 3: We all know that you probably had this happen to you, 180 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 3: and so when the time has come to say bye 181 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:38,560 Speaker 3: bye to the dog, it has always been someone else 182 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:43,440 Speaker 3: that I have been detached from the reality of having 183 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,320 Speaker 3: to be there when the. 184 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:47,080 Speaker 1: Pet goes away. 185 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 3: And it was a little different with Bella because she 186 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:53,440 Speaker 3: has been pretty ill for a while. Me and the wife, 187 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 3: we've kind of been saying to each other off and 188 00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,840 Speaker 3: on for the past I don't know how long exactly, 189 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 3: it's been, maybe a year, probably a little less than that, 190 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,720 Speaker 3: but it has been a case where bell has kind 191 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:10,200 Speaker 3: of been in hospice, doggy hospice, and we knew that 192 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,520 Speaker 3: this time was coming, so we had plenty of time. 193 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 1: To prepare for It. 194 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,440 Speaker 3: Doesn't mean that you're like excited when it happens and 195 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:20,880 Speaker 3: all that, but Bella she got attacked by a coyote about. 196 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 1: Three years ago. 197 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 3: I think it was in fact three almost three years exactly, 198 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 3: and it was in the middle of the night I 199 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 3: was doing the show. Was during COVID, kind of the 200 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,079 Speaker 3: tail end of COVID. I was doing the show from 201 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 3: the home studio and the belarue the Belaruski went out 202 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 3: to get busy, and a coyote thought, that's dinner. Not 203 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 3: a big dinner. It's a small dinner. I'm on a diet, 204 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 3: but it's a dinner, and so the coyote went out 205 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 3: to attack attack Bella, and she was a bit pretty good. 206 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:54,080 Speaker 1: I mean, there was a big chunk of her that 207 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 1: was gone, and we were freaking out. 208 00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,680 Speaker 3: She was freaking out, and we took her, spent thousands 209 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 3: of dos to get her fixed up and all of that, 210 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:07,320 Speaker 3: and it was successful. She lived several more years, but 211 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 3: she was never really the same after that. And I 212 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 3: don't know that that's directly related to that attack. Maybe 213 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 3: it was just the whole thing, all of it together. 214 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 3: And she started slowing down. 215 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 1: A little bit more, a little bit more, as dogs 216 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 1: do as they get older, and it got to the 217 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:24,719 Speaker 1: point where she. 218 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 3: Kind of just wanted to be by herself, and dogs 219 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,320 Speaker 3: are all about companionship, and I know you let him 220 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 3: roam around and whatnot. Maybe you have a backyard, maybe 221 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,080 Speaker 3: you take them to the dog park, you let him 222 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 3: roam around. But ultimately, if the dog doesn't want anything 223 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,240 Speaker 3: to do with you, that generally is a bad sign. 224 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 1: That's generally a bad soie. I don't want to speak 225 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,720 Speaker 1: for all dogs, but what the hell why not? And 226 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 1: so it's been that way for a while. Bella's been there, 227 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 1: We've been feeding her. She pretty much has been unable 228 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,959 Speaker 1: to control the bodily function. Anyways, I don't want to 229 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,439 Speaker 1: get in too deep, but I just wanted. 230 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 3: To thank you, many of some I didn't even expect 231 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 3: to hear from because you're known as douchebags on the show. 232 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:06,559 Speaker 1: You know who you are, and you still reach them, 233 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 1: so so thank I appreciate that. 234 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 3: Now to turn away from that and I want to 235 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 3: get back to the funt on this podcast, we like 236 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,960 Speaker 3: to highlight some of the more as any things that 237 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,559 Speaker 3: have happened now this week on the show, we were 238 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 3: given the gift of great audio. 239 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 1: And when you work in a radio show, you need 240 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,360 Speaker 1: great audio. You need it. It's all you have is audio. 241 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 1: You don't have pictures, just have audience. You need the audio. 242 00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 3: And if you listen every night, you probably know where 243 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,840 Speaker 3: I'm going with this. I'm gonna call this one the 244 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 3: dark O Delight, someone I had never heard of. I 245 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 3: had no idea who this person was, and he gave 246 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 3: me smiles. This person made me enjoy a night of 247 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 3: radio and so I'm grateful for that. We are talking 248 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:03,720 Speaker 3: about dark oh Ryakovic, the head coach of the Toronto 249 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 3: pro bouncy ball team. And so before I break this 250 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 3: down to the Bruner film style frame by frame, I want 251 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:16,559 Speaker 3: to play you a chunk of this legendary news conference 252 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 3: after the Toronto Raptors played the Los Angeles slash Minneapolis Lakers. 253 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,120 Speaker 1: What is still wrong with the Clippers? 254 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,680 Speaker 3: The Toronto Raptors were just led to the slaughter by 255 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 3: the referees. It was they didn't even try to hide it. 256 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 3: It's clear bias and embarrassing level of bias where the 257 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 3: officials were working as guardian angels to help Lebron. 258 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 1: That's crap. 259 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 3: Been over a decade since the game had been this 260 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 3: lopside in the foul shot to sparity. So anyway, that's 261 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 3: the setup and moments after Toronto lost. 262 00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 1: The game, the prime loser. 263 00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:03,440 Speaker 3: The head coach of the Raptors, dark Go Ryakovic, got 264 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 3: up to the desk and let's go to the audio tape, 265 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 3: take all this and enjoy this. 266 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 4: That's that's that's outrageous. What happened tonight. This is completely bias. 267 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,280 Speaker 4: This is shame. Shame for the referee, shame for the 268 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 4: league to allow this. Twenty three free throws for them 269 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 4: and we get two free throws in the fourth quarter, 270 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 4: Like how to play the game. I understand respect for 271 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 4: all stars and all that, but we have. 272 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 1: Star players on our team as well. 273 00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 4: How's possible a Scattie Barnes, who is all Star caliber 274 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 4: player in this league. He goes every single time to 275 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 4: the rim with fours and trying to get get to 276 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 4: the rim. 277 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 1: Without flopping and and not trying to get foul calls. 278 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:50,280 Speaker 1: He gets two three throws for the whole game. How 279 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 1: is that possible? 280 00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,600 Speaker 4: How are you gonna explain it to me if that's 281 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 4: If that's the case, just let us know so we 282 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 4: don't show up for the game. 283 00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:57,280 Speaker 1: Just give them a win. 284 00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,960 Speaker 4: But that was not fair tonight, and this is not 285 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:04,360 Speaker 4: hippening first time for us. Scottie Barnes is gonna be 286 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 4: old started, he's gonna be the face of this league. 287 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 4: And what's hippening going here? During whole season, I've been 288 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 4: calding you back. It's a complete crap. 289 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 1: Wow, I still like it. 290 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 3: I'm not gonna lie. I still like it. I enjoy it. 291 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 3: I'm a fan. I'm a fan. 292 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 1: Of this. 293 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 3: So the highlight, there's a couple of drops that we 294 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 3: got on this. The one right there he says, it's 295 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 3: a complete crap. Darko's from Serbia and it's a complete 296 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 3: crap crap. 297 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 1: That is wonderful. That is so good. 298 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:46,280 Speaker 3: And when he said what happened tonight, this is completely bs. 299 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 1: This is shame. 300 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 3: This is shame, solid solid, that's a solid sound bite. 301 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 3: That is a solid bite. And the one that which 302 00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 3: I loved, I actually got to know an argument. 303 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 1: If you listen to the show this week, we talked 304 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:01,840 Speaker 1: about this. 305 00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:05,200 Speaker 3: There was a bit of a disagreement between myself, Eddie 306 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 3: and Cooper. These guys don't think any of these things 307 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 3: are that good, and I like, no, no, this is great. 308 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 3: The one that I loved though he came completely out 309 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 3: of cuckoo land. Here's a head coach of the Toronto Raptors, 310 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:27,280 Speaker 3: Darko Ryakovic, and he says, Scottie Barnes is gonna be 311 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:30,040 Speaker 3: an All Star, He's gonna be the face of the league. 312 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 1: Scottie Barnes. Scottie Barnes, He's gonna be old Stott. He's 313 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 1: gonna be the. 314 00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 3: Face of this league. Scotty bleeping Barns. It's like you 315 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,200 Speaker 3: gotta be I mean, come on, he's a nice player, 316 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:47,160 Speaker 3: but he's not He's not anywhere close to that level. 317 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,960 Speaker 3: And maybe he becomes an All Star by chance, but 318 00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:55,520 Speaker 3: basically face of the NBA in Canada. So where does 319 00:17:56,480 --> 00:18:01,639 Speaker 3: the Darko Raptors coach rank? It's and I don't I 320 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:03,640 Speaker 3: don't do this. This is not a list. It's big board. 321 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:05,199 Speaker 3: It's big Ben's big board. And it's just off the 322 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,200 Speaker 3: top of my head. I've compared nothing. I have compiled enough. 323 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,919 Speaker 3: It's gonna fly by the seat of my pants. So 324 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 3: is it in the category of a Dennis Green where 325 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,240 Speaker 3: if you want to crowd them, then crown their ass. 326 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:23,240 Speaker 1: If you want to crown them, then crown their ass. No, 327 00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:26,360 Speaker 1: it's not that, certainly not that is it. 328 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:34,080 Speaker 3: Mike Tomlin going on a rant about the Steelers and 329 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,120 Speaker 3: you know, Mojoe and all that stuff. 330 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 1: We want them to be fat and sassy and spoiled. 331 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:44,560 Speaker 3: It is our job, fat and sassy and spoiled. It's 332 00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:45,040 Speaker 3: our job. 333 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,879 Speaker 1: Is it that? No, it's not that. It's not that. 334 00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 3: It's not Jim Mora saying that was a disgraceful performance, 335 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:54,720 Speaker 3: or we couldn't do Diddley Pooh. 336 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:56,919 Speaker 1: We just got our ass totally kicked. 337 00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 3: We couldn't do Diddley pooh offensively. This is more in line. 338 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:05,440 Speaker 3: This darko thing is more in line. If you remember, 339 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,919 Speaker 3: during the baseball playoffs, there was a guy named aj 340 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:13,479 Speaker 3: Minter of the Atlanta baseball team, and the Braves had 341 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,400 Speaker 3: a big comeback in the playoffs, and they asked him 342 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:17,480 Speaker 3: how were. 343 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 1: You able to come back? 344 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:24,199 Speaker 3: And aj Minter said three words, heart and nuts. What 345 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 3: kind of nuts do you like, Martha pe nuts? 346 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:27,280 Speaker 1: What do you enjoy? 347 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:31,239 Speaker 3: There's richardal nuts, that's what. 348 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,600 Speaker 1: And that's a great bite. Heart and nuts, I said on. 349 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:35,119 Speaker 3: The radio show, and I believe this to be true, 350 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 3: that it's more of a David Fizdale type thing where 351 00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:42,360 Speaker 3: Fizzdale hounded the table looking at the box score and said. 352 00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 1: Take that for data, Take that for data. And walked off. 353 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:51,240 Speaker 3: So it's more like that, or maybe a buzz Williams 354 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 3: back when he was at Marquette saying the Butcher, the Baker, 355 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 3: the candlestick Maker, The Butcher, the. 356 00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:57,879 Speaker 1: Baker, the candlestick Maker. 357 00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:02,720 Speaker 3: Which we played years, years and years ago. It's in 358 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,879 Speaker 3: that category. But I enjoyed it. I didn't expect it. 359 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,360 Speaker 3: I'd put the baby to bed, I'd put the show 360 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:10,560 Speaker 3: to bed. I actually had the Laker game on that night, 361 00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:12,399 Speaker 3: and I thought, well, this seems like an obscene amount 362 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,640 Speaker 3: of foul shots, but that's just a typical Laker game. 363 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,160 Speaker 1: The officials often are biased and help them out. 364 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:20,040 Speaker 4: Ben sucks, so I thought. 365 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 1: Well, that's probably just that's just the way. I wasn't 366 00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 1: paying that close attention. 367 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:26,720 Speaker 3: It was on the background, like background TV, and then 368 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 3: next thing I know, I was like this, this popped 369 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:34,359 Speaker 3: up on our radar. I was like, whoa Wausers, zoom, bam, 370 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:38,440 Speaker 3: all that stuff, like, that's really good. That's really good 371 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,240 Speaker 3: audio from a guy that I had never heard that 372 00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:44,719 Speaker 3: I had never heard of. Time now for the Dish 373 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:46,800 Speaker 3: of the Day. It's a new feature, the Dish of 374 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:50,679 Speaker 3: the Day, Dish all the day, Dish, all the day. Now, 375 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 3: the reason we're doing dish of today is because randomly 376 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 3: I mentioned Salisbury College. Now that's not the dish of day, 377 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:05,200 Speaker 3: but the reason I mentioned Salisbury College is because of. 378 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 1: The reality, the stork reality. 379 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 3: We were talking about mister Quinn, medicine man, defensive coordinator, 380 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,920 Speaker 3: Dan Quinn of the Dallas football team, Dallas Calvin's, and 381 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,720 Speaker 3: we did a monologue about Pete Carroll and Dan Quinn 382 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 3: is certainly the betting favorite to go back and replace 383 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 3: Pete Carroll in Seattle, and he went to Salisbury College. 384 00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 3: So I used that as one of my three things, 385 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:30,960 Speaker 3: and these monologues, I usually do three little things and 386 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 3: try to tie them all together and make them make sense. 387 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,840 Speaker 3: So Salisbury College in Maryland. And then I was like, 388 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,639 Speaker 3: wait a minute, is that Salisbury's steak? Is that the 389 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:42,480 Speaker 3: same thing? And I was like, well, that's not really 390 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,800 Speaker 3: the same thing. And then I was like, where did 391 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 3: Salisbury steak come from? Is it named after something related 392 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,919 Speaker 3: to this part of Maryland? No, So then I did 393 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 3: a little deep dive and the dish of the day 394 00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:59,240 Speaker 3: is Salisbury's steak. I haven't had one of these Salisbury 395 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,520 Speaker 3: steaks since I was as a kid. But it is 396 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,919 Speaker 3: actually named after a person, not a city, not a college, 397 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:05,879 Speaker 3: just named after a person. 398 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:06,720 Speaker 1: James H. 399 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:11,120 Speaker 3: Salisbury. He was a physician back in the eighteen hundreds. 400 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,720 Speaker 3: He was a chemist and he was an advocate. He 401 00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:16,679 Speaker 3: was one of these people that were advocating for a 402 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:22,280 Speaker 3: fugesi diet at that time. It was a meat centered diet. 403 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 3: The effort was to help forward health, to promote health 404 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,919 Speaker 3: and all that stuff. And so the term Salisbury's steak, 405 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,440 Speaker 3: if you don't know what that is, that's a ground 406 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,240 Speaker 3: beef patty, like a burg ground beef patty. But it 407 00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:41,320 Speaker 3: served as the main course. No bun on this, no bun, 408 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 3: and it's got the sauce on top of that and 409 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,399 Speaker 3: all that stuff. But here's the thing that blew me 410 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:51,560 Speaker 3: away about this. Now this goes back to eighteen ninety seven. 411 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,880 Speaker 3: This guy came up with Salisbury steak in the late 412 00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:58,320 Speaker 3: eighteen hundreds. 413 00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:58,320 Speaker 1: And he did that. 414 00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 3: And so this guy's whole agen everyone's got an agenda, 415 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 3: was that he believed he believed that this dinner or 416 00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:17,359 Speaker 3: lunch would help with treatment of digestive disorders. So that 417 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,200 Speaker 3: if you eat that, eat this, and you know, help 418 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:23,919 Speaker 3: you out. They haven't chop the the Salisbury steak, they 419 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,600 Speaker 3: would chop the bones, tendons. 420 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 1: All that other crap. 421 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:31,480 Speaker 3: They'd cut away from it and they'd have the lean 422 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 3: muscle and whatnot. And so anyway, it's named Salisbury stick, 423 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:39,200 Speaker 3: named after James H. 424 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:40,280 Speaker 1: Salisbury. 425 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,359 Speaker 3: And there you go. 426 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:48,160 Speaker 5: The dish of the day, the dish of the day. 427 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,640 Speaker 5: And now we move ahead in the broadcast, we keep 428 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 5: the line moving. 429 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:55,280 Speaker 1: Not only do we have the dish of the day. 430 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 1: That would be enough. 431 00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:58,760 Speaker 3: We wouldn't need any more content than that on the 432 00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:02,879 Speaker 3: fifth hour. But how about the word of the week. 433 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 1: What is the word of the week? Glad you asked? 434 00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:12,680 Speaker 1: The word of the week is edgy gen. 435 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 3: Now why are we doing this as the word of 436 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 3: the week. We're doing this because of a historical week 437 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:25,720 Speaker 3: of no shortage of big name coaches saying bye bye, 438 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:34,040 Speaker 3: turnout the ladd it's the parties over. It started on Wednesday, 439 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:41,399 Speaker 3: Bye bye, Nikki, the little debbie eating oatmeal moonpie loving 440 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 3: Nick Saban said Asta la vista to the folks in Tuscaloosa. 441 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:54,200 Speaker 3: And then on a Thursday, Bill Belichick said, were the jay. 442 00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:55,960 Speaker 1: I am out of here. 443 00:24:56,720 --> 00:25:00,440 Speaker 3: Make sure whoever's last turns out the lads, because it's 444 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:01,359 Speaker 3: all over now. 445 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:06,440 Speaker 1: And these guys who worked together back in the day 446 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 1: in Cleveland. 447 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:10,679 Speaker 3: We told the story a few times. If you've not 448 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 3: heard it, because you only listen a little bit, we 449 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 3: get it. In the early days of Fox Sports Radio, 450 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,600 Speaker 3: we had a wonderful football punted. 451 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:20,439 Speaker 1: By the name of Chris Landry. I really like this. 452 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:23,800 Speaker 3: A good guy, Chris Landry, very good on the radio. 453 00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:27,359 Speaker 3: You ask him one question, he'll give you ten minutes. 454 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:29,119 Speaker 1: Just wonderful. 455 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:33,720 Speaker 3: And Chris Landry had worked for a number of NFL teams, 456 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,840 Speaker 3: but he had worked for the Cleveland Browns when Belichick 457 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:41,439 Speaker 3: was the head coach and Nick Sabin was on the staff. 458 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,919 Speaker 3: And so Chris Landry would regale us with stories about 459 00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:49,679 Speaker 3: working for the Browns and everything involved in that. And 460 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:55,119 Speaker 3: I have fond memories of Chris Landry telling us some 461 00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,960 Speaker 3: of those behind the scenes stories when they were in 462 00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:00,240 Speaker 3: team meetings and he would be in there, what it 463 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:01,760 Speaker 3: was like, the interaction and all that. 464 00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 1: It was kind of cool. It's like a. 465 00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:08,000 Speaker 3: Trip behind the curtain to see how they make the sausage. 466 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:11,560 Speaker 3: So these guys have had good runs. Saban my theory. 467 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:13,359 Speaker 3: I did a monologue about this you can follow the 468 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:16,880 Speaker 3: Ben Maler Show podcast and hear that monologue in its entirety. 469 00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:20,040 Speaker 3: But my position on Saban was that it was nil 470 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:22,840 Speaker 3: that he just got tired of the bull crap and 471 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,080 Speaker 3: he didn't want to deal with it, and he saw 472 00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:27,800 Speaker 3: where this was going. He looked at his age, he 473 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:29,840 Speaker 3: looked how much money he had, and he said, Okay, 474 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:31,399 Speaker 3: I'm good. 475 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:33,080 Speaker 1: I am good. 476 00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 3: I ween to get out of here and enjoy myself 477 00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:40,159 Speaker 3: and I'm the king and everyone will kiss my ass 478 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:42,840 Speaker 3: the rest of my life in Alabama and I'll be 479 00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:46,600 Speaker 3: remembered as an all time great, easy peasy, good to go, 480 00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:49,679 Speaker 3: and maybe I'll do some television and that's great. And 481 00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:53,879 Speaker 3: then Belichick, it's complicated because I do believe he wanted 482 00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:56,879 Speaker 3: to stay with the Patriot. Turns out that game against 483 00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:58,840 Speaker 3: the Jets and the snow was his last hurrah with 484 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,800 Speaker 3: the Pagries, but he wanted to stay. But anyway, Belichick 485 00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:05,920 Speaker 3: and Saban are legends. They are legends. So the word 486 00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:10,080 Speaker 3: of the week is again legend. Now, this word dates 487 00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 3: back all the way to the early fourteen hundreds. Yes, 488 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:18,120 Speaker 3: a narrative dealing with a happening or an event. It's 489 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:22,439 Speaker 3: from old French and originally goes all the way back 490 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:26,560 Speaker 3: even further back to the twelfth century. And that word 491 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:33,320 Speaker 3: originated in the Medieval Latin language legend or it's a 492 00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:38,280 Speaker 3: synonym for story, and they told stories in the middle 493 00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:45,200 Speaker 3: Medieval Latin language. They would tell stories about saints and 494 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:49,719 Speaker 3: other people of that time, and. 495 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:53,080 Speaker 1: They would read certain stories about the church. A lot 496 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:54,840 Speaker 1: of the meaning of. 497 00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:59,879 Speaker 3: The word legend comes from tales that were told in 498 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:05,240 Speaker 3: church and extended out. According to those that study this 499 00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:10,359 Speaker 3: for a living, it meant non historical or mythical story, 500 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:13,320 Speaker 3: and it often in those days, back in the old days, 501 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:18,200 Speaker 3: involves saints, wonders, and miracles, and that goes back.
