Howard would 503 00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 4: always make fun of him because Howard came in, stopped 504 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:04,159 Speaker 4: playing records, just started talking. And then I thought that 505 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 4: was amazing. I just I just wanted to be a 506 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:08,920 Speaker 4: great disc jockey. And then I heard him and I said, wait, 507 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:09,560 Speaker 4: I just want to. 508 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:12,960 Speaker 3: Well, the stern thing is rather wild too, because he's 509 00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:15,520 Speaker 3: done a one eighty like the way he started and 510 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:21,639 Speaker 3: the way he operates now. You talk about changing your personically. 511 00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,679 Speaker 1: Yes, he has. He a lot of what he hated 512 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 1: he's now become.

And I think because your part of 515 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:36,399 Speaker 4: being entertaining on the radio over the years, and you 516 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:40,960 Speaker 4: maintain the immature part of your personality, and so you 517 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 4: mock things. You mock and you joke, and you mock 518 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,639 Speaker 4: and you mock like you're in the cafeteria in high school. 519 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,640 Speaker 4: And that's a lot of what sports talk has been 520 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:52,879 Speaker 4: over the years, and FM morning shows like his and 521 00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:56,200 Speaker 4: then he he had he was a late bloomer.

And so Dick Stockton would 671 00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:00,440 Speaker 3: always call the worst fricking game that Fox had, right 672 00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:00,840 Speaker 3: because he. 673 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,239 Speaker 4: Was getting older and thank god they captain, but they 674 00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:04,719 Speaker 4: didn't give him the best games anymore. 675 00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,440 Speaker 3: He was doing dog food games every week and everyone 676 00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:08,720 Speaker 3: knew it. And by the time you get late in 677 00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:12,280 Speaker 3: the year, I mean, it's just why are they playing 678 00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:12,840 Speaker 3: these games? 679 00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:17,000 Speaker 4: Because they're on TV? Exactly, they are on the schedule. 680 00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:20,120 Speaker 4: One of the other Stanza was the one that SAIDs 681 00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:24,280 Speaker 4: on TV. But week one we have the Arizona Cardinals 682 00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:25,400 Speaker 4: and the Washington Commanders. 683 00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:27,720 Speaker 3: A week one is a treaty. I do not know 684 00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:30,720 Speaker 3: that that will get a lot of TV. That might 685 00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:33,440 Speaker 3: be a mention. We might not, you know, because of timers. 686 00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:36,080 Speaker 3: This is a half an hour show. It's not going 687 00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:37,520 Speaker 3: to be an hour show. It's gonna be a half 688 00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:38,240 Speaker 3: an hour show. 689 00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:40,520 Speaker 4: Because and then there will be this voiceover, which will 690 00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:43,480 Speaker 4: probably be me. Because of time restrictions, we could not 691 00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:47,080 Speaker 4: get to the Washington Commanders and you guys, we move 692 00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:49,840 Speaker 4: ahead in the broadcast now A yeah. 693 00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:52,760 Speaker 3: But Dick Stocked in his line which I have used 694 00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:54,680 Speaker 3: on Benny Versus the Penny since he said it all 695 00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,160 Speaker 3: those years ago to us on the Blitz because he 696 00:31:57,280 --> 00:31:59,800 Speaker 3: was promoting I remember the game. I even remember the game. 697 00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:02,560 Speaker 3: I remember the game because it was such a shit game. 698 00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:06,120 Speaker 3: It was the forty nine ers, who were terrible before 699 00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:08,800 Speaker 3: this is when they were changing coaches every year. They 700 00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:12,160 Speaker 3: like Kelly one year, Jim tom Sula. It was just brutal. 701 00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:16,160 Speaker 3: So Mike Nolan, yeah, Nolan was. It was just a 702 00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:18,040 Speaker 3: bad era for the forty nine ers. And so they 703 00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:20,240 Speaker 3: were playing Tampa Bay, which was also lousy. 704 00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:21,840 Speaker 1: So it was a terrible game. 705 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:23,520 Speaker 3: A bunch of guys were heard it was late in 706 00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:25,680 Speaker 3: the season, but Dick Stockton has called the game on Fox. 707 00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:29,040 Speaker 3: So I was like, Dick, why should anyone want to 708 00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:30,840 Speaker 3: watch this game? I gave all these numbers about how 709 00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:32,440 Speaker 3: terrible the teams were. Why would I even want to 710 00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:36,400 Speaker 3: watch this game, and he very calmly said, Ben, stats 711 00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:39,160 Speaker 3: tell you what has happened, not what's going. 712 00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:40,440 Speaker 1: To happen, and that. 713 00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:45,560 Speaker 3: I use that line very good all the time. It 714 00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:48,720 Speaker 3: is a wonderful line. It is a wonderful line. 715 00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:50,000 Speaker 1: And it's great. 716 00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:52,040 Speaker 4: That's a great politician right there too. 717 00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:52,880 Speaker 1: Very good. 718 00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:55,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, it's wonderful because it also applies to the 719 00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:58,560 Speaker 3: gambling world, which we are part of on Benny Versus 720 00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:00,880 Speaker 3: the Penny Least kick Out and now on the games. 721 00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:02,840 Speaker 3: And I'm gonna be handicapping these games as I've been 722 00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:07,959 Speaker 3: doing for years, and oftentimes I will pick horrible teams 723 00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:11,360 Speaker 3: because you're getting value, because you're getting points. And I 724 00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:13,760 Speaker 3: can at any moment if you press me on this, 725 00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:15,040 Speaker 3: why are you picking that team? 726 00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,959 Speaker 1: They suck? Well, stats, Tom, tell you what has happened, 727 00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:19,560 Speaker 1: not what's going to happen. 728 00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:20,120 Speaker 3: Uh. 729 00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:23,280 Speaker 1: And that is a great homage, a tribute to the and. 730 00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:27,200 Speaker 4: As a shout out to our friend Dave Smith. There 731 00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:30,280 Speaker 4: was the Ben and Dave Show, Sporting Dave Show over 732 00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:32,840 Speaker 4: the years, the sports god. He always said, you know 733 00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:36,600 Speaker 4: he would he said, no matter what the stats tell you, 734 00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:41,600 Speaker 4: never bet on a dog bleep team. Right, right, And 735 00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:45,600 Speaker 4: so even if everything is in your favor, be very 736 00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:48,480 Speaker 4: careful if you're gonna put your hard marked, hard earned 737 00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:52,680 Speaker 4: money down on a dog shit team, which good advice. 738 00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:55,520 Speaker 3: The yeah, I mean, I've gone the other way oftentimes 739 00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:59,720 Speaker 3: because to me, my one of my big criteria when 740 00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,000 Speaker 3: I look at a game is I want to I 741 00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:06,040 Speaker 3: factor in the the hype for certain teams, like our 742 00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:09,600 Speaker 3: teams overhype, like for example, this year, the Chicago Bears, 743 00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:13,759 Speaker 3: to me, are way over hyped that the Bears for 744 00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:16,480 Speaker 3: the worst team in football last year, and there's a 745 00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:19,160 Speaker 3: small chance that Justin Field is going to be great 746 00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:21,719 Speaker 3: this year. I the way that ESPN and some of 747 00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:24,640 Speaker 3: these national guys are talking about all our life. 748 00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:27,160 Speaker 4: They get so excited if Chicago might be good, So 749 00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:30,000 Speaker 4: it's like Notre Dame all our life. They just get 750 00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:32,080 Speaker 4: so excited that this might be the when I say 751 00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:35,399 Speaker 4: they In general, there tends to still be this nostalgia 752 00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:38,400 Speaker 4: with the Chicago Bears from I don't know when, not 753 00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:42,040 Speaker 4: our life, except for a small throwout statistic one year 754 00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:46,680 Speaker 4: with Jim McMahon, right, yeah, and but yeah, I agree 755 00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:48,880 Speaker 4: with you. It's happened all of it, and with the 756 00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:52,480 Speaker 4: great other the far before the Green Bay Packers had 757 00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:54,799 Speaker 4: far when we were much much younger, and they were 758 00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:57,520 Speaker 4: always bad. They were always thinking hoping it was the 759 00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:00,800 Speaker 4: year because there's some kind of nostalgia connected with obviously 760 00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:02,240 Speaker 4: the oldest team in the NFL. 761 00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:05,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's rags to riches and that whole thing. They 762 00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:08,799 Speaker 1: love that. But to me, you gotta show me. I'm gonna. 763 00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:11,719 Speaker 3: I like the motto of the State of Missouri, I'm gonna. 764 00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:14,160 Speaker 3: I'm gonna show me, don't tell me. 765 00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:15,040 Speaker 1: You got to show me. 766 00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:20,799 Speaker 3: I generally look to teams that are overrated and get 767 00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:24,040 Speaker 3: a lot of public attention, a lot of the money 768 00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:26,520 Speaker 3: and the handle as we call it, on on a 769 00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:30,840 Speaker 3: certain game, if it's if it's flipped one way, like 770 00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:33,960 Speaker 3: of this week, here, this first week, next week, here, 771 00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:36,360 Speaker 3: the first show that we're doing. I look at that 772 00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,000 Speaker 3: certain teams, I say, what are we doing here? 773 00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:40,400 Speaker 1: That's crazy? 774 00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:41,800 Speaker 4: And now, so when you take a look at that 775 00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:45,480 Speaker 4: first week just for fun, yeah what because you're cheap. 776 00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:49,320 Speaker 4: So it's always very important to ask you where you 777 00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:51,880 Speaker 4: would put your money here. I want to ask you 778 00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:56,320 Speaker 4: about a game. First of all, Bengals at Browns. I 779 00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:58,080 Speaker 4: never trust the Browns. 780 00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:01,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't. Oh, I don't trust the Browns. But 781 00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:03,240 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow's got a bad calf. 782 00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:07,279 Speaker 3: And you look at the the comp or not the 783 00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:11,520 Speaker 3: comp but the the history and history, as Dick Docton said, 784 00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:14,520 Speaker 3: tells you what has that been not But Joe Burrow, 785 00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:17,040 Speaker 3: even when he's been healthy, has played his worst football 786 00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:19,920 Speaker 3: for some reason against the Cleveland Browns. And have a 787 00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:23,080 Speaker 3: pretty good defense, they should be able to mess around 788 00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:25,520 Speaker 3: with Burrow. The offensive line for the Bengals is not 789 00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:27,640 Speaker 3: the greatest. It should be a bet Okay, okay, So 790 00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:30,840 Speaker 3: that's that's why the problem though to me, Deshaun Watson's 791 00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:33,239 Speaker 3: the creepy quarterback and I don't like, you know, I 792 00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:37,200 Speaker 3: don't trust him either. But the Browns as a small 793 00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:41,480 Speaker 3: home underdog, I am going to most likely, barring some 794 00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:45,000 Speaker 3: kind of last minute change of status, I will take 795 00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:46,800 Speaker 3: the Cleveland Browns really. 796 00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:48,680 Speaker 4: Okay, okay, And you would put your money on the 797 00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:50,719 Speaker 4: Cleveland Browns in your cheap So that's important to know. 798 00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:54,040 Speaker 3: Not Now, keep in mind on we bet we predict 799 00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:56,400 Speaker 3: every game. Now, there's certain games that the cream of 800 00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:57,880 Speaker 3: the crop. There's certain games that. 801 00:36:57,880 --> 00:36:59,640 Speaker 4: Are Okay, I got to ask you about this one though, 802 00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:04,120 Speaker 4: Jacks at Colts and it's only minus three and a 803 00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:08,640 Speaker 4: half right now or a plus three point five with 804 00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:11,839 Speaker 4: the Colts. Why so little? Aren't the Jaguars ten times 805 00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:12,680 Speaker 4: better than the Colts? 806 00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:15,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, well they're on the road and so normally on 807 00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:15,600 Speaker 1: the road. 808 00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:19,239 Speaker 3: Factor that in, and there's some history between these two 809 00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:22,800 Speaker 3: teams where Jacksonville normally beats the Colts at home, and 810 00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:26,480 Speaker 3: in Indy they don't play they haven't played particularly well. 811 00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:31,000 Speaker 3: But yeah, but no, listen, I will be taking Jacksonville. 812 00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:33,600 Speaker 3: I hate I trying to find a way to bet 813 00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:36,520 Speaker 3: underdogs as much as I can. The main reason I'm 814 00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:39,080 Speaker 3: going to take Jacksonville and I don't do the whole 815 00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:40,040 Speaker 3: any versus in here. 816 00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:40,759 Speaker 1: But we know we don't. 817 00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:42,920 Speaker 4: I just wanted to pick those two guys. Yeah, I 818 00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:46,160 Speaker 4: guess the main reason why you're gonna take Jacksonville because 819 00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:48,360 Speaker 4: no one can name the Colts quarterback. 820 00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:53,480 Speaker 3: Well, no, the guy his name is Anthony Richardson, and 821 00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:57,880 Speaker 3: he started I think like a dozen or so games 822 00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:01,879 Speaker 3: at Florida. He's hardly played any college football and he's 823 00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:05,719 Speaker 3: very as you would say, Tommy's a green banana. 824 00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:09,480 Speaker 1: I think that was your analogy.
