1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:01,480
Speaker 1: Kabooms.

2
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 2: If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes

3
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:09,160
Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants

4
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:12,480
Speaker 2: of the old republic, a sol fashion of fairness. He

5
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the

6
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:17,480
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse.

7
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 3: Wow.

8
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:22,320
Speaker 2: The Clearinghouse of Hot takes break free for something special.

9
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:29,120

Speaker 4: day of August. Happy Find your inter Nerd Day today,

14
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 4: big day for a lot of baseball executives who have

15
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:53,239
Speaker 4: found their inner nerd and are destroying baseball on a

16
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 4: day by day basis. It's also National sponge Cake Day today,

17
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 4: It's Cheap Flight Day today, and more importantly, it is

18
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 4: a big Sigh of Relief Day today. Why we had

19
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 4: the announcement last night on the terrestrial radio show this podcast.

20
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 4: Think of it as a companion of the Big News.

21
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 4: If you missed it, bad job by you don't worry.

22
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 4: I got youa The news is now out. It's back

23
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 4: double your pleasure, Double your fun. The only thing more

24
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 4: shocking than having NBC tell me that they wanted me

25
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 4: to do a TV show last year is that they

26
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 4: called me up and said, hey, let's run it back

27
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 4: and do it again. Because NBC has picked up season

28
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 4: two of Benny Versus the Penny. Now, there's a couple

29
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 4: of reasons for this. I would say the most important

30
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,279
Speaker 4: is you actually watched the show, and that the base

31
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 4: of this audience, which is you and those that are

32
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 4: p ones and loyal supports. Law millions of the Overnight

33
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 4: Show have followed me and wherever I end up, you

34
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 4: guys have been great, and so that's really the backbone.

35
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 4: So it's not anything that I've done, it's your guys

36
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 4: supporting the show. And this is not some kind of

37
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 4: April Fool's Day joke. In August, they've given me the

38
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:18,119
Speaker 4: green light.

39
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: This had been in.

40
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 4: Bargoed for a while. I was told not to talk

41
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 4: about it. They wanted me to wait until we got

42
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 4: closer to the start of the show. We had our

43
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 4: maiden voyage in twenty twenty three. It was neck and

44
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 4: neck between myself and The Penny, handicapping every game.

45
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: And now it's time for the sequel.

46
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 4: I'm so excited to finally be able to talk to

47
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 4: you about this. Everything had been put on time out

48
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 4: the gag order, and I finally got the green light

49
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 4: from the network and the handcuffs have been removed and

50
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 4: we're ready to go. The show is actually going to

51
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 4: be bigger than it was last year, and we'll talk

52
00:02:57,960 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 4: more about it as we go through the podcast, but

53
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 4: no longer just on regional cable television. In addition to

54
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 4: that part of the puzzle, which is the base, the

55
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 4: show is produced out of NBC in Boston, but we

56
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 4: are going national. Benny Versus the Penny is going to

57
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 4: be a national television show. You'll be able to watch

58
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 4: this anywhere, any place. So many of you complained last year.

59
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 4: I live in the boondocks. I can't get an NBC

60
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 4: cable affiliate, but I want to watch Benny Versus the Penny. Well,

61
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 4: they heard you, and I complained, and you complained, and

62
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 4: we all complained, and I'm happy to let you know

63
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 4: that Benny Versus the Penny will be streaming. Every episode

64
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 4: will be available on Peacock, So there's no reason to

65
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 4: miss an episode of Benny Versus the Penny, and we're

66
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 4: going to need your help, much like this podcast. We've

67
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 4: deputized you over the years here to have your friends

68
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 4: and kids and grandkids and cousins and god children.

69
00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: And anyone's in your circle.

70
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 4: One's got a circle, right, takes the village to support

71
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 4: what we do here, and so there's an easy way

72
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 4: to do it. So many people have Peacock. It's not

73
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 4: very expensive at all. In fact, there's a free version,

74
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 4: I think, but the pay version is not not much

75
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 4: at all, and so people have it and we get

76
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 4: credit when people watch Benny versus Penny. I don't even

77
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 4: know how all that works, but I know if you're watching,

78
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 4: they know exactly who's watching, they know how many people

79
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 4: are watching. So a lot of you did grumble about that,

80
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 4: and now you're gonna be able to have a flipping

81
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 4: good time and be part of this show as we

82
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 4: go all the way through the NFL regular season and

83
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 4: through the super Bowl, we were qualifying for the playoffs,

84
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 4: and it's it's just gonna be a ton of fun.

85
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 4: It's just gonna be absolutely great. I'm so excited that

86
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:50,159
Speaker 4: this is happening. And the reason I was back in

87
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 4: Boston was because of the TV show, and you know,

88
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:54,359
Speaker 4: I didn't want to say anything. I was told not

89
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 4: to as I said, not to say anything, but now

90
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,919
Speaker 4: I can. And we were trying to get Pat Sajak

91
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 4: to come out of retirement and represent the Penny.

92
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: He rejected this, so we went back.

93
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 4: To Tom Looney and Looney joins us.

94
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: Right now.

95
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 4: He's right over there, he's putting his makeup on, and

96
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 4: it just came out from suntanning and we welcome in

97
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 4: the Voice of the Penny for season two of Benny

98
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 4: Versus the Penny and Tom Looney welcome. What is your

99
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 4: reaction to Looney to Benny Versus the Penny returning for

100
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 4: another season on television.

101
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,599
Speaker 3: Well, no, I'm not all that shocked. But if you remember,

102
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 3: if you go back on the hot Tub time machine,

103
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 3: when you and I worked together in the late nineties

104
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 3: at Extra Sports eleven fifty in Los Angeles, don the

105
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 3: hall from Rick D's and Ricky Martin walking down the hallways,

106
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 3: that's true. I came up with you. I remember at

107
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 3: the time I was negotiating a TV deal with Canada,

108
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 3: the cb C, I believe it was, and it was

109
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 3: going to be an NFL show. Looney Versus the Loon

110
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 3: told you all about my idea, and then, uh, you know,

111
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 3: then fast forward and you're doing Veny Versus De Penny

112
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 3: on the radio. It's a big hit. I loved the

113
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 3: idea and the concept, and now it's a TV show.

114
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 3: So I'm not so surprised that my original idea is

115
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 3: now a televison.

116
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 4: That's funny because I was in Vermont, uh when we

117
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 4: were we're in Boston, and Arnie said that I stole

118
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 4: the bit from him. It was Arnie versus the Shekel,

119
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:24,479
Speaker 4: and it.

120
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:28,039
Speaker 1: Was very excited. He was annoyed that I took his bit,

121
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: and he's like, well, I should be the one on NBC.

122
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: You shouldn't be the one on NBC. What's up with that?

123
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 4: Uh?

124
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 3: But to me, there are broadky. You and I both

125
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 3: know that there are broadcasters we know that aren't satisfied

126
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 3: with their really cool jobs. Arnie's always been one of them.

127
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 3: He's never stopped working. They're not satisfied with their really

128
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 3: cool jobs. They look at the other shiny object jobs.

129
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: I should be doing that that. Oh yeah, I mean

130
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 1: most people that do these jobs. I don't know what

131
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 1: you got that job on it? How funny than you.

132
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 3: I mean, oh man, I want.

133
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 4: To feel like a king of the world. Okay, if

134
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 4: you want to feel like you're the most important person

135
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 4: in the world, travel all the way to Burlington, Vermont

136
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 4: and visit Arnie. No One no One Looney comes and

137
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 4: visits my guy Arnie out in the boondocks. He's like

138
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 4: an hour from Montreal, in the middle of nowhere, surrounded

139
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 4: by trees, and it's like a resort town where like

140
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 4: really rich people go and hang out. And I drove

141
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 4: up there, and we drove up in the tail remnants

142
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 4: of that storm that was passing through while we were there,

143
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 4: the tropical depression, and we drove that.

144
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 3: Was Debbie, Yeah, the Debbie Downer hurricane. Yeah, and she.

145
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: Did drop down a lot of a lot of water.

146
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 4: But we drove in the night, got there, Arnie picks

147
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 4: us up at the We told the story last week

148
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 4: on the podcast, but Arnie picked me and my wife

149
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:54,239
Speaker 4: up at the hotel. We then got the VIP tour.

150
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 4: We did everything there is to do in Burlington, Vermont

151
00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 4: in four hours, and then got back there and headed

152
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 4: back down to Boston. But we should tell the full story.

153
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 4: I feel so relieved Looney, I'm so happy to do

154
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 4: this podcast. I talked about this last night on The

155
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 4: Overnight Show, but this thing has been embargoed, And unlike

156
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 4: other people that I will not name, whose initials may

157
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 4: be TL, I did not tell a single person that

158
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 4: this was in the media anyway that this was happening.

159
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 4: It's been in the works for a couple of months,

160
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 4: but we were told, and you actually were the one

161
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 4: that said, Hey, you want to check with the network

162
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 4: to make sure everything's okay. So I contacted our guy

163
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 4: John and he's like, hey, I want you to hold

164
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 4: off on.

165
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 1: This, just wait until we get a little closer. Don't

166
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 1: announce anything.

167
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 4: So it was killing me, Looney, But I feel like

168
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 4: a giant weight has been lifted that I am now

169
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,679
Speaker 4: able to discuss this publicly the TV show, which is

170
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 4: kind of good because it starts next week.

171
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, very exciting learning our affiliates up and down

172
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 3: the line. Right now, we're going to go a little

173
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:59,559

177
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:10,959
Speaker 3: one week before Week one, and then we do a

178
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 3: put some icing on the cake once the super Bowl

179
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,880

181
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's almost the next step. Would we just

182
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:24,199
Speaker 4: do a year round.

183
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 1: Next? Have to do this?

184
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 4: But uh, but but it's great fun. I'm really excited.

188
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 1: I am going to be allowed.

189
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 4: The people at NBC have told me I can now

190
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,959
Speaker 4: wear different clothes this year, so I don't have to

191
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 4: wear the same thing every week. Not that it is

192
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 4: wearing the same thing every single week, but I could

193
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 4: change it.

194
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 1: Up a little bit.

195
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 3: And your defense too. You shop at the same place

196
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 3: that the Doc River shops. The Big and Tall you likes,

197
00:09:58,240 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 3: how both of you and how big both of you

198
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 3: and Doc are?

199
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 1: How great is that? How good is that story?

200
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 3: Though?

201
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 1: Looney? That and you know that story because we go

202
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:04,959
Speaker 1: way back.

203
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 4: But I ran in when Doc played for the Clippers.

204
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 4: I knew him a little bit and I was in

205
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 4: New York visiting my older brother Joe, and I was

206
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 4: at a big and tall store and Doc was in there.

207
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 4: He was just starting as like a broadcaster, and he

208
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 4: was in there and and.

209
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: He said, he said hello. It was very nice.

210
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 3: And then as the Doc Rivers said, high band, it's

211
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 3: really that's the greatest thing in the world. When a

212
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 3: famous person.

213
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: It's kind of cool.

214
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 4: But but but then the funny thing is I grew

215
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 4: to hate him because of his coaching.

216
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:36,439
Speaker 1: So but at the time, I mean, we had a

217
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 1: good relationship and all that, but it was it was

218
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 1: one of those those things. But I will be wearing

219
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 1: different filings. I did some new clothes this year, so

220
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: that's exciting.

221
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 3: Oh that is great. Well, it's easier for me because

222
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:49,679
Speaker 3: I'm a perfect medium. I got all I got all

223
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:51,559
Speaker 3: the way down to my high school wait for the show.

224
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 3: People don't realize, I know, you put all in, all

225
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 3: the work studying all these games. People don't realize the

226
00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 3: dieting and exercise and tanning I put in, and memorization

227
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 3: of lines that I do every single week. People just

228
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 3: are all focused on you and the games and the

229
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 3: scores and uh and forgetting about the hard work. I

230
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 3: put in at the time, Well.

231
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 4: Clearly yeah, and I want you a listener to know that.

232
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 4: As we were doing this podcast, I had to fight Looney.

233
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 4: He said, why is this not video?

234
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 1: This show?

235
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 4: I should be on camera and I'm like, no, this

236
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 4: is audio only. They don't pay me enough, Looney for video,

237
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 4: Like they pay more for video, right, they pay more

238
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 4: for video.

239
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 3: And you will you will back me up that for

240
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 3: twenty four or twenty three years, even though I was

241
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 3: in a business where people couldn't see me, I was

242
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 3: I was camera ready at all times. I was just

243
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 3: waiting for something.

244
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm the opposite, right.

245
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 4: I hated years ago when Fox Sports Radio put a

246
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 4: camera in the studio and they thought this like stream

247
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 4: on the on the internet and you know, five people

248
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 4: watched it or whatever, but there was a camera on

249
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 4: us all the time. We were like we were like

250
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 4: in a zoo cage, you know. I could not stand

251
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 4: at it was like the worst and uh.

252
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 3: But now people were also paranoid too that they weren't

253
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 3: really using it. For that reason you know that bosses

254
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 3: and the the illuminati who we worked for, of course,

255
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 3: is because we're members of a major media corporation, would

256
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 3: be watching us, and so we were always a little

257
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 3: worried about that too.

258
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, we were slightly slightly concerned.

259
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 3: I did have a woman, let's talk about it was

260
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 3: not there anymore taco shop on Figueroa who told me

261
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 3: when I told her I worked at Fox Sports Radio,

262
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 3: I came in the next time and she had questions

263
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 3: about the Illuminati because she told her that if I

264
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 3: worked at Fox, I must be part of you. Oh

265
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 3: I have.

266
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 4: I have had several calls over the years, and my

267
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 4: favorite of all time was years ago. This this old grandma,

268
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 4: probably great grandma from Massachusetts called up and she was

269
00:12:56,520 --> 00:13:00,120
Speaker 4: on hold for hours because the person's screening the I

270
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 4: was like, ah, she's she'll.

271
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 1: Hang up, don't you know whatever, she's terrible, So we

272
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 1: I finally went through. I felt bad she'd been whole

273
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 1: for a while.

274
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 4: She gets on the air and she says, if I

275
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 4: hate Fox News, I hope you get caantheos like something

276
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,439
Speaker 4: like that, and she hung up, hung up the phone,

277
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 4: and I'm like, it's Fox Sports.

278
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 1: It's iHeart, it's not you know, it's a totally different animal.

279
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 3: But she had no Well, what's also funny is people

280
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 3: thinking that Fox is so good. Fox News is a brand,

281
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 3: but they're forgetting what about the Family Guy and Simpsons

282
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:40,559
Speaker 3: that used to get protested over the years for their

283
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 3: liberal content or their vulgar content. Over there, Fox On

284
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 3: on Century in Central City has a better place where

285
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:50,079
Speaker 3: you could work and uh in a Hawaiian shirt and

286
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 3: your bare feet for the past twenty five years. So

287
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 3: funny people get all that all that stuff mixed up

288
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 3: when it comes to the media.

289
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 4: Well, but Lody, this TV show yet again, back, get

290
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 4: back to let's get to us in the show about

291
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 4: the show, and we will be again recording at the

292
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 4: world famous Universal Studios Hollywood. Have our studio, which we

293
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 4: I believe the same studio last year.

294
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 3: In the Tom brocall building, Tom Tom Looney, Ben Maller.

295
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 3: Which one We're.

296
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 4: Going to park our parking garages, these Laurel and Hardy garages,

297
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 4: Abet and Costello, abbitt in Costello. I got my comedy

298
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 4: duos mixed up there abbit in Costello. It's been so

299
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 4: long since I've been to Universal. Although I did just

300
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 4: get an email Tom, I hope you got the email too.

301
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 4: It appears I'll be making an early appearance at Universal

302
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 4: to get my parking squared away there.

303
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 3: So yeah, I didn't get a read the whole thing

304
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 3: when I was clicking into the zoom link.

305
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 1: But you have much more to do you you were

306
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: completely You have to go into the main office there

307
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 1: at Universal and beg for forgiveness and all that.

308
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 4: I just merely have to pull up. But it is

309
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 4: a tremendous ink. He means when you live in the

310
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 4: north Wood, Looney. But it's a good kind of inconvenience

311
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 4: to have to get over there and get that all

312
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 4: sorted out.

313
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 3: I'm hoping right, these are the kind of problems we want,

314
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 3: like the problem I was in the middle of a

315
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 3: vacation and had to go to Boston to make promos

316
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 3: and bumps. That's the kind of problems I want in

317
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 3: my life.

318
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, So, for full disclosure me and Looney, as you know,

319
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: I was in Boston. I missed a couple of the

320
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 1: nights of the Overnight Show. And anytime I missed the

321
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 1: Overnight Show, I get reprimanded by the p ones, Looney.

322
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 1: They get very upset. They're like, you got to be there,

323
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 1: what's wrong with you? Shame or you know. I was

324
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 1: like I couldn't say exactly why.

325
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 4: People a lot of people figured out why I was

326
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 4: in Boston, and so they put the clues together. But

327
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 4: some people who are completely clueless, like a certain truck

328
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 4: driver in Arkansas, was giving me a really hard time.

329
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: So I was like, whatever that is.

330
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 3: So, by the way, it's such a compliment when it happens.

331
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 3: Do they are all your hours live now? Do they

332
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 3: repeat the first hour in the last hour?

333
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 1: Oh no, I don't.

334
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 3: When JT and I had that shift, people would people

335
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 3: would berate us that the first that the last hour

336
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 3: of the show was just a re recording of the

337
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 3: first hour, and it was such a compliments to five

338
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 3: fucking hours.

339
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 1: I know, I know, I know. I try to point

340
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 1: this out to people.

341
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 4: I was like, you know, most they claim, and I

342
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 4: don't know if it's changed over the years with the

343
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 4: world we're in now, but we both got in the radio.

344
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 4: They always said, well, you'll be lucky if people listen

345
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 4: for five or ten minutes. You're well if anything over

346
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 4: ten minutes, so much.

347
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 3: And that's why those news stations say give us twenty

348
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 3: two minutes, will give you the world, because at one

349
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 3: time the average person listened twenty two minutes.

350
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 1: Well, I thought that was the average commute was like

351
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: twenty two minutes.

352
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 3: Oh really, Oh that was what was when we when

353
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 3: we were driving Model Ts.

354
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I would like to thank traffic because I

355
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 4: do very well the last hour on the overnight tom

356
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 4: because people get up earlier and earlier to try to

357
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 4: beat the traffic. So people are getting up on the

358
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 4: road at like five in the morning on the East

359
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 4: Coast and I'm still there, so it's it works out

360
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 4: very well for me. But we were in Boston actually

361
00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 4: need them, Massachusetts.

362
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 1: We flew to Logan I here.

363
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 3: At the taj Mahal of the NBC Regional Network studios.

364
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:05,880
Speaker 3: That place was amazing.

365
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, isn't that, Pa, And you didn't get to go

366
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:11,160
Speaker 1: last year. I went without you and you were there

367
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,680
Speaker 1: and we we went into makeup.

368
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 4: We had everything we brought our obviously about our own wardrobe,

369
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 4: and we went in there and wanted it all over

370
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 4: the place. That's the hub of NBC and Boston. They

371
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 4: had the local NBC News, was there, NBC Sports, like, Yeah,

372
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 4: it was amazing that built.

373
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 3: You know what was really fun when we were doing

374
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,439
Speaker 3: what we were doing and recording promos and bumps and

375
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 3: all that inside lingo stuff. The United States was playing Serbia, remember,

376
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,360
Speaker 3: and so what's really fun about working in this business

377
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 3: is everybody said that, you know, the last minute of

378
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 3: the game, and people said, you might just wait and

379
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 3: watch this last minute of the game. Where no other

380
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,639
Speaker 3: you know, in any other industry, they're not going to

381
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:54,919
Speaker 3: stop down to let you watch a game. Yeah, but

382
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 3: we are in the sports industry. They let us stopped

383
00:17:58,560 --> 00:17:59,400
Speaker 3: down and watched the game.

384
00:17:59,440 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 1: That was great.

385
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 3: Yeah.

386
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, we we were in full makeup and all the

387
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:04,879
Speaker 4: all the stuff.

388
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:06,919
Speaker 3: And now before we went out to dinner, did you

389
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 3: take yours off?

390
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 1: No? You know, I did not want people to set up.

391
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, only TV guys were makeup. I wanted to people

392
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 3: want people to notice.

393
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,199
Speaker 4: That's the only way I'll make wear makeup. I'm not

394
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,120
Speaker 4: a big makeup guys. You know it's but for the TV,

395
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 4: you know, for the almighty all powerful TV camera, we'll

396
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 4: do the makeup. But we had a power dinner after

397
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 4: we spent all day and this was a long day.

398
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 4: This was many hours. We had the makeup. We had

399
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 4: you know, the meeting, we were giving us lines. You

400
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 4: were then ad living some of the lines. I was

401
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,159
Speaker 4: then throwing stuff out there. But then after that. We

402
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 4: went back to the hotel and then we we met

403
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 4: up at a fine restaurant in the Boston area there

404
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 4: and we got to eat on the company dime they

405
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 4: go for the meal, and I'm happy to report that

406
00:18:55,920 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 4: we all ordered steak. I think we ordered the most

407
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,479
Speaker 4: expensive thing on the menu, which is I'm very proud of,

408
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 4: even me. I'm not a big steak guy, Looney, but

409
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,359
Speaker 4: I was like, hey, listen, I'm not paying for it.

410
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 4: NBC's paying for it. I'm getting steak. And I had

411
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:11,400
Speaker 4: it butterfly cut, just the way.

412
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 3: I had a butterfly cut. You had one trash butterfly cut.

413
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 1: It was so good.

414
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:19,160
Speaker 3: Oh my, you know, how how upsetting that? How upsetting

415
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,399
Speaker 3: that is? No, it's wonderful for the chef, Looney.

416
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 4: The customer is always right, Mooney, and I'm the customer.

417
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 4: And that's the way I like my steak. That's the

418
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 4: way I enjoyed.

419
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 3: The person who originally said the customer was never right

420
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 3: was a rich guy who had never worked behind a counter.

421
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 1: Well, so the customers always right, not never right, but yeah, no,

422
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 1: but here's all right. That was your polish coming out

423
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 1: in you right now.

424
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:43,399
Speaker 3: Well, it was, yeah, you know why, because I was

425
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,679
Speaker 3: looking for you know, whenever I go out to my

426
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 3: favorite Mexican restaurant, there's this great reporter it seems to

427
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 3: be there, and he's always still got his makeup on.

428
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 3: So I wanted to be like one of my favorite

429
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 3: reporters and have my makeup on when we went out.

430
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,479
Speaker 3: So that's why I was looking up to say. I

431
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 3: was looking on the Channel five website for him because

432
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 3: he's always at the UH at the don Kuco and

433
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 3: Burdbank and says, oh, man, I gotta I gotta wear

434
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,919
Speaker 3: my makeup just like my guy does. And Chris Wolfe

435
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,639
Speaker 3: from Channel fives, because I'm one of those guys that

436
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 3: still watch his local news back Channel five local news.

437
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, and I.

438
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:23,120
Speaker 1: Love local news.

439
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 4: I love local news and UH and whenever I go

440
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:28,919
Speaker 4: to a new city, I always the first thing I

441
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:30,920
Speaker 4: do is get until I flip on the local news.

442
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 4: Me too, yeah, the local I love the goofy local

443
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 4: weather person, always complaining either too hot or too cold

444
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 4: and then well and and sarcastically overwarms up.

445
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 3: You know something like that. In Syracuse more than once,

446
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 3: the UH, the weather person has become the lead news

447
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,199
Speaker 3: anchor because it gets so popular because all it is,

448
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 3: you know, the whole news is always weather is news

449
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 3: and Syracuse because it's blizzard, blizzard, blizzard, blizzard, blizzer, blizzer, blizzard, right,

450
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:04,200
Speaker 3: and the weather guy gets so much time on television

451
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,439
Speaker 3: They're Q rating goes up, and they said, let's just

452
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:07,360
Speaker 3: make them the anchorman.

453
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 1: So that's what.

454
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:10,880
Speaker 3: They've done a lot of times over the years there. So, yeah,

455
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 3: the weather people are more important in the Northeast than

456
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 3: there where we live.

457
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, but but you know, there are always out

458
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:20,160
Speaker 1: in LA. It's just like mostly very curvacous women.

459
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, that is the most g rated way we

460
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 3: can put it. Curvacious women who I don't think went

461
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 3: to meteorology school at Penn stated they don't think they're

462
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 3: working for ACU weather.

463
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,399
Speaker 4: The first couple can tell you the Doppler, They can

464
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:36,160
Speaker 4: read the Doppler radar, you know, but I think they.

465
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 3: Learned on the fly. I don't because I don't think

466
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 3: it's that hard to learn it. But I bet you

467
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 3: anything is that that's another one of those majors that

468
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:46,399
Speaker 3: they could probably teach in a class, and they stretch

469
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:47,679
Speaker 3: them out for four years.

470
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 4: More likely than not, Now the a couple of things

471
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 4: happened at that dinner which were hilarious. Now you were

472
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 4: there with your godson, right.

00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 1: Yes, we've got there.

00:21:58,080 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 3: Yep.

475
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 4: Eric, very cool guy to see him, And I was

476
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 4: trying to remember that I meet Eric when you know,

477
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 4: when we were there in the nineties, and I don't

478
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 4: know that I did.

479
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:09,359
Speaker 3: I don't know that you did, but if you did,

480
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 3: you know, he would have been tiny. And so what's

481
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 3: what I really liked is he's just as a side

482
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 3: notes guy because your your wife is amazing. When you

483
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 3: have right now that you're a TV guy, you don't

484
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 3: even have to upgrade like TV guys. Do you already

485
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 3: have a gorgeous wife of the music personality Always you

486
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:29,879
Speaker 3: wonder where these politicians get these amazing wives who can

487
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 3: also talk to everybody, and you've already got one. And

488
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 3: when we were in makeup Eric and sometimes have social exiety,

489
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 3: I came back and you're talking away. He's talking about

490
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,159
Speaker 3: his daughter, and I'm thinking, wow, Okay, I knew that

491
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,439
Speaker 3: he'd be in good hands with your wife.

492
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 4: Oh no, it was great. But there was one moment

493
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 4: with him where we ordered the food. So the food

494
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 4: shows up at the table, but what he ordered something

495
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:54,439
Speaker 4: that was different than what.

496
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 1: They screwed it up.

497
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, well then they had to take the food back.

498
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,639
Speaker 4: But then there's this awkward situation at the table where

499
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,919
Speaker 4: everyone wants to be polite and wait for your, your

500
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 4: god son Eric to get his food. In the meantime,

501
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 4: all of our food is getting cold.

502
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 3: I know, and I and I think it should I

503
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,400
Speaker 3: because and because he's young, he's just looking at his phone,

504
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 3: not noticing everyone's waiting for him to get his food.

505
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 3: And he's just looking at his phone and looking at

506
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 3: his phone.

507
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 1: And I was waiting for him to give the social

508
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:23,159
Speaker 1: to you.

509
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 4: Oh it's okay, just eat, I'll get my food, don't worry,

510
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 4: just eat and said that.

511
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 1: He never said it.

512
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:33,920
Speaker 4: So we looked up from his phone. We're sitting there,

513
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:35,679
Speaker 4: and I'm like, I'm staring at my stake. I'm like,

514
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 4: it's getting colder. It's getting colder. And then I looked

515
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:39,680
Speaker 4: in the back and I'm like, well, maybe this will

516
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:40,200
Speaker 4: be his food.

517
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:41,200
Speaker 1: You know, they'll bring it right out.

518
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:46,680
Speaker 3: Forty two things came out before Yeah. Yeah, and I

519
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 3: again again also point out at me I could have

520
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 3: texted him since he was looking at his phone.

521
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 1: Let everyone know they could just stop.

522
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 3: And then I didn't do it because I thought he

523
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 3: would look up at some point and he didn't look up.

524
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 1: And and the sense of relief when his food finally came,

525
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 1: which seemed like it was maybe, you know, fifty minutes

526
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 1: later when when it showed up and we all started eating,

527
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:10,120
Speaker 1: was like, oh, finally.

528
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,359
Speaker 4: The other thing that happened at this power meal. And

Speaker 1: important to hang out with. Me and Looney. We're grabbing it.

541
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 4: We're having a nice steak dinner and as the the

542
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 4: meals kind of winding down a little bit, right, Uh now,

Speaker 4: You've got this plate full of broccoli.

551
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,960

Speaker 3: would would would be on my so and be on

553
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:24,200
Speaker 3: my side over this.

554
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:26,919
Speaker 4: No mean, let me say so, I thought you're not

555
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 4: gonna eat the broccoli. I just assumed, Okay, you're good

556
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 4: and you're just gonna yet you're done with your meal

557

558
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 4: and that you're not didn't want to eat it. But no,

559
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:45,120
Speaker 4: you're slowly, like you're ninety five years old, working your way.

560
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:46,879
Speaker 1: Through the BROCOLI I'm like, oh my god.

561
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 4: And it took you, I would say, and I don't

562
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 4: want to exaggerate, Looney two hours to eat the broccoli.

563
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:56,200
Speaker 1: My god?

564
00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:59,880
Speaker 3: What was Well? First of all, broccoli sucks, But I.

565
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:02,639
Speaker 1: Why did you get it? You could have gotten potatoes

566
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 1: or something.

567
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 3: Well, because of because we have a TV show coming up,

568
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 3: and I'm I'm obsessed to being at my high school

569
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 3: weight for the TV show. So I was working forcing

570
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 3: my way through the broccoli, as anybody who can attested

571
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 3: and eats broccoli would let you know, you have to

572
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 3: force your way through it. It was a tough. Yeah,

573
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 3: it was tough, and it took me way too.

574
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 1: Love that.

575
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 3: Those are the two most Polish moments, if I may

576
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:29,160
Speaker 3: gave an homage to my relatives in Poland, where where

577
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 3: me not texting Eric saying let us know we can eat,

578
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:34,440
Speaker 3: and me working my way through the broccoli and taking

579
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:35,440
Speaker 3: forever like I was nine.

580
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 4: You were involved in both of the awkward moments and naha,

581
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 4: it's this power meal and then we add after the meal.

582
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 4: And I do want to point out there was last year.

583
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 4: I don't know if we talked about this when I

584
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 4: had you on last year before season one at Beny

585
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,400
Speaker 4: Versus the Penny, but there were a couple of awkward

586
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 4: moments where we talked about people in the business and

587
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 4: each of us stepped.

588
00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 3: Ring forgetting the vice presidents and presidents of works might

589
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 3: have worked with those people.

590
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, we may may not have trash.

591
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:09,160
Speaker 3: Both stepped and ship home within a week of each other.

592
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:13,439
Speaker 4: Oh, very very awkward, very awkward. That did not happen

593
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 4: this year.

594
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 1: In fact, opposite happened one person who I praised, and

595
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,439
Speaker 1: I think you paused the conversation. Loony. There was a

596
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:24,640
Speaker 1: broadcaster who we will not name, who I praised, Right,

597
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 1: I said, I think this guy's amazing.

598
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 3: Well, I had to stop down the whole Let the

599
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 3: whole table know that Ben is like the guy. This

600
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 3: is a difference between your personality and mine. If we

601
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 3: go to the prom, we are girls at the prom

602
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 3: and I see somebody else were in the same dress. Hey,

603
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 3: we got the same dress. You would be the one

604
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:44,639
Speaker 3: of the problem that wanted to execute the girl in

605
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:49,360
Speaker 3: the same dress. Right, you think every other broadcaster sucks,

606
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 3: But there was one that you gave a fuse of

607
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:55,959
Speaker 3: praise to that people really hate on because they're jealous

608
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 3: of his youth and how talented he is. Yeah, I was.

609
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:03,359
Speaker 3: I was stunned by a fusive praise of a young broadcast.

610
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 4: And was not reciprocated by some of the people at

611
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 4: the table.

612
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:10,639
Speaker 3: Right, surprise, Yes, that was surprisingly so right, Yes I was.

613
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:11,439
Speaker 1: I was shot by that.

614
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 4: So then after the meal we went back and we decided. Looney,

615
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:18,880
Speaker 4: I actually pitched this to you. I said, hey, why

616
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:23,119
Speaker 4: don't we celebrate rare and appropriate because I had been fasting.

617
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 4: I told you I went five days without eating, actually

618
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 4: actually six days without eating.

619
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 1: I was so paranoid. I was going to look like

620
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 1: Job of the Hut on TV.

621
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,359
Speaker 4: Even though I've been about the same weight for the

622
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 4: last year and a half, two years or whatever. But

623
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 4: in my head, I still have the mindset that I

624
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 4: was big, real big men back in the day.

625
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 1: And so I was doing this extreme fast.

626
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, we both have body dysmorphia.

627
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 1: Yep. Yeah, I was doing this extreme fasting. But I

628
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 1: was like, all right.

629
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 4: We did the production shoot, we did the promos and

630
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 4: all that stuff for the TV show.

631
00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 1: We had the meal. I ate a steak. That's good.

632
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 4: So I was like, let's go, let's go have a canoli.

633
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 4: Let's celebrate. We're in Boston, why not? And so you

634
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 4: and your god send me and the wife. We I

635
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 4: had rental car because we had to drive up to

636
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 4: see Arnie in Vermont, and so we drove over to

637
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 4: the north end of Boston. And I was shocked because you, Looney,

638
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 4: travel all of you've been to a million places if

639
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 4: you took a map out and put a pin everywhere

640
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 4: Looney's by now yeah, insane and yet.

641
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 3: Over forty or forty five states, and I don't know

642
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 3: how many countries and continents, et cetera. But uh, you

643
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 3: love the incredible A through Z list of places I've

644
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 3: bet and.

645
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 1: I've been to.

646
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 4: Like I go to the same place as I go

647
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 4: to Boston, I go to New York, I go you know, Chicago,

648
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 4: I go to the Big Seas.

649
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 1: I don't really get off the grid very much. But

650
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 1: you had never been to the North End of Boston that.

651
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 3: Bloo and I was blown away by the North End

652
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 3: of Boston. You know, you really could judge a place,

653
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 3: at least for me by when I walk in, When

654
00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 3: I go into a place and I say, wow, I

655
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 3: could live here, And I've said that about about a

656
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 3: handful of places over the years. And North oh, yes,

657
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:07,719
Speaker 3: because I could, Like I would love to be an

658
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 3: apartment upstairs and just walk never have to drive. Because

659
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 3: maybe it's because of all this time living in la

660
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 3: it's always places we don't have to drive, like Amsterdam

661
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 3: and some cities in Mexico where you can walk downstairs

662
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 3: and get a coffee or walk downstairs and get a meal. Yeah,

663
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 3: and North End of Boston's amazing. And what's great about

664
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 3: that is you said you want to go out for dessert.

665
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 3: I didn't know where you're going to take me, and

666
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 3: then I just thought we'd pick a place nearby. No,

667
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 3: because what we were staying wasn't nearby.

668
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 1: About a fifteen minute driver.

669
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:39,959
Speaker 3: So oh, it's terrific. However long it was it was.

670
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, the North End, to me, that's Boston. If you

671
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 4: will say they hate Boston, how can you hate the

672
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 4: North End of Boston? And that place goes back to

673
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 4: the early seventeenth century right right by English Puritans. I

674
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 4: love going to places that are bathing in history. Yeah,

675
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 4: so I'm not a lot.

676
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 1: Of that where we are in California, you know.

677
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 3: No, we paved pair of ice and put up a

678
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 3: parking lot. Even the stuff that was bathing in history

679
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 3: is gone. A McDonald's there now.

680
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 1: Yeah.

681
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:11,479
Speaker 4: I think that Paul Revere, his house from sixteen eighty

682
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 4: was still there. Bill there right there after all these

683
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 4: all these Although I did see that documentary years ago

684
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 4: Looney where they said it was Israel Bissell, Who's who

685
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 4: was the real hero, not Paul Revere, but Paul Revere

686
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 4: had a better name, and so they went with the

687
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 4: name Paul.

688
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 3: Oh with the legend. Yeah, go with the legend.

689
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 1: You know where it comes from. Yeah.

690
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 3: In fact, Buzz Aldrin was supposed to be the first

691
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 3: guy to walk on the Moon. At the last minute

692
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 3: they got you know, I got a little round table corner,

693
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 3: offenses said, Neil Armstrong. Is a better name for a

694
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 3: hero than Buzz in the sixties, right, And so at

695
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 3: the last minute they switched that up on Buzz.

696
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 4: Did they film the moon landing at Universal or where

697
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 4: did they film that?

698
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 1: Do?

699
00:31:56,920 --> 00:32:00,040
Speaker 3: I think it was the Tom Brokaw building before it

700
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 3: was called the Tom.

701
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:04,959
Speaker 4: Provoco right over there, right there. And the cool thing

702
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 4: that we didn't really get to do too much of

703
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 4: this last year. But now since the TV show's back,

704
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 4: we will be able to again have access to the

705
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 4: Universal lots.

706
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 1: So we'll have to take advantage of that.

707
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 4: We'll have to, you know, after the taping, we'll have

708
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:19,720
Speaker 4: to pick a week and just wander around.

709
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 1: Sure and enjoyed.

710
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 4: I love it because I I in the old days

711
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 4: when Fox Sports Radio launched, I had access to the

712
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 4: to the Fox lot. I know, you worked over there

713
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 4: with the best damn sports show. But for me, we

714
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:33,480
Speaker 4: had reading studios over there, and I had free reign.

715
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 4: I would take relatives who would come to town from

716
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 4: you know, other far away places, and we just go

717
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 4: and like wander around the back lot, on the Fox lot,

718
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 4: the New York skyline and all that, and and then

719
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:48,239
Speaker 4: nine to eleven happened, and then that was over and

720
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 4: now and then yeah, no one's allowed on there, you know,

721
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 4: unless you have a pass and so. But but for

722
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 4: for about a year, it was amazing. It was so

723
00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 4: cool just to wander around and nobody cared. They ran

724
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 4: all over the place and it was awesome. And it's

725
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 4: a little similar. There's a lot of security at Universal,

726
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 4: but once you get on there in the back, you

727
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:09,960
Speaker 4: can can wander around. And also, before I forget, I

728
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 4: mentioned this at the beginning. You didn't hear it, looney,

729
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 4: but at the beginning, not only is Benny Versus the

730
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 4: Penny a regional cable sports show.

731
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 3: On the end, ohoh you have you have psychic caability?

732
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 3: Because I was gonna tell you shut up and remind

733
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 3: him about Peacock. Is that what you're gonna do?

734
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Eddie, Eddie.

735
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 4: I didn't tell Eddie because he was gonna he was

736
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 4: gonna scream it out. He was one guy I didn't tell.

737
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 4: He asked me about this, and I didn't tell him.

738
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 4: But we are on Peacock. We're national. This is a

739
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 4: national TV show now, Benny Versus the Penny. We made

740
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 4: it through our rookie year and now the show will

741
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 4: be available everywhere.

742
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 3: Here's why I'm excited. I'm a big fan of watching

743
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 3: Below Deck Mediterranean. So when people are typing in b

744
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 3: e right, Allen, Anna, right next to each other, right, Allen,

745
00:33:56,800 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 3: it's going to suggest to the Below Deck Mediterranean pads

746
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 3: that they watch Benny Versus to Penny. I'm very excited.

747
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 4: About and so it's it's both exciting, it's exhilarating, and

748
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 4: it's also scary looney because now I mean, they'll track exactly.

749
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:12,239
Speaker 4: Cable television is a little hit and miss. You don't

750
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 4: know exactly who's watching, but it's with Peacock, they know

751
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:19,279
Speaker 4: exactly who's to do. My advice is, hey, listen, if

752
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:20,880
Speaker 4: you're a fan of the show and you have kids,

753
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 4: you know a lot of you, maybe you have grandkids

754
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:25,879
Speaker 4: and they have Peacock. Even if they don't know who

755
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 4: we are, me and you, Looney, just have them watch,

756
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:30,239
Speaker 4: you know, just have them this show.

757
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:31,799
Speaker 1: And we've got some credit for that.

758
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:33,759
Speaker 4: We'd love for them to enjoy the show and like

759
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 4: the show and watch the show and be part of

760
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:37,479
Speaker 4: the show. And it's not just the hard old sports show,

761
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 4: because Looney, I do the hard old sports. You just

762
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 4: you know, goof around, right, You just do jokes, You

763
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:42,759
Speaker 4: do penny jokes the whole time.

764
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:46,240
Speaker 3: Right, Well, come on, I do just as much research

765
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:48,760
Speaker 3: as you do, and I steal yours as well, and everyone,

766
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:49,920
Speaker 3: so I pluck one of yours.

767
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:52,319
Speaker 1: Yah, yeah, yeah. So here's what happens, full Scoar.

768
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 3: So I people's research is still research.

769
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:58,799
Speaker 4: I spend all week putting notes together for the show,

770
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:01,080
Speaker 4: and I use about, what do you think, maybe ten

771
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 4: percent of what I write. So I send it to Vinnie,

772
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 4: our producer in Boston, and like, hey, here's Vinnie, here's

773
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:12,400
Speaker 4: what I got this week. Uh. And then inevitably, during

774
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:15,400
Speaker 4: the show, while we're recording Benny Versus the Penny, something

775
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 4: that I had sent Vinnie will will fly back in

776
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:19,720
Speaker 4: my direction.

777
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 1: From Looney's mouth. I'm like, wait a minute. You didn't

778
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:23,719
Speaker 1: come up with it, how dare you?

779
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:25,839
Speaker 3: As you know, I did want to go up into

780
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 3: stand up comedy when I was younger, and I realized

781
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:35,400
Speaker 3: I would get assassinated. I do not forget any good joke,

782
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:38,239

810
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:47,919
Speaker 4: So show one is going to be a projection on

811
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:50,880
Speaker 4: what we can expect. A lot of win totals over unders.

812
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:53,080
Speaker 4: On win totals where me put your money with the

813
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:56,520

814
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 4: I know that don't play the stock market and they

815
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:03,640
Speaker 4: invest their money on wins totals. There's a hack that

816
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 4: I learned years ago that I will share on the

817
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 4: TV show when it comes to win totals and player props,

818
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:14,319
Speaker 4: which is stacking the deck in your favor. I don't

819
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:15,879
Speaker 4: do it all the time, but it does stack. I'll

820
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:17,920
Speaker 4: explain it on the TV show and we'll also do

821
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 4: some player props likely as well.

822
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:22,520
Speaker 3: What do you think the biggest tees right now is

823
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:24,840
Speaker 3: the most confusing head scratcher? Where are they trying to

824
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:27,239
Speaker 3: sucker people? Just to give a tease for a week

825
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:27,719

828
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:36,080

829
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:40,440
Speaker 4: hot seat. I don't have it in front of me,
