1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:05,280 Speaker 1: Ka boom. If you've thought four hours a day, minutes 2 00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:09,119 Speaker 1: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants 3 00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:12,400 Speaker 1: of the old Republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He 4 00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:15,440 Speaker 1: treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the 5 00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:20,160 Speaker 1: rich pill poppers in the penthouse, to clearinghouse of hot takes, 6 00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:24,400 Speaker 1: break free for something special. Fifth Hour with Ben Maller 7 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:29,160 Speaker 1: starts right now on a Saturday. We are back at 8 00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:33,360 Speaker 1: it again. The podcast machine does not stop turning, does 9 00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:37,320 Speaker 1: not stop turning, eight days a week, eight days a week, 10 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:42,920 Speaker 1: because four hours a night are not enough. Clearly not 11 00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:47,559 Speaker 1: in office. We are in the air everywhere from a 12 00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:51,400 Speaker 1: secret location in the north Woods. That's being the Saturday podcast, 13 00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 1: and a lot a lot to get to and we 14 00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 1: will get into it right now. Joined again from west 15 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 1: of the four oh five. David, Get little Hot, Little Hot, 16 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 1: Little Hot. I'm a little bummed out for this weekend's games. 17 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:18,920 Speaker 1: I mean, obviously Week one for the NFL is here, 18 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 1: but Man college football on a Saturday, No, not a 19 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,320 Speaker 1: not a consumer. Well, any game you bet on is 20 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 1: a good game, so you can always find something to 21 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,119 Speaker 1: wage r. It'll spice it up a little bit. What's 22 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 1: Alabama got Mercy or Mercer High School. Well, I think 23 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,960 Speaker 1: the teams that play Alabama have need the mercy rules. 24 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 1: What actually was there for Nick Saban the Clearinghouse. Uh, 25 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 1: I'm probably done talking college football on the on the 26 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 1: radio show because I know I did a several monologues 27 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 1: about college football, and the one I did about Brian 28 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 1: Kelly that actually that that did pretty well. But the 29 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 1: other stuff, yeah, that's not so good. You can't be 30 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 1: surprised though, with that ship right that people don't want 31 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 1: to hear it, or Brian Kelly, Oh the briant that 32 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: people don't know who old coaches are. Yeah, yeah, it's 33 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 1: it's disappointing. But you know, like John McCay's is really 34 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 1: before my time. But I remember when I was a kid, 35 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:26,639 Speaker 1: we watched these NFL films documentaries and I remember Dick 36 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 1: Romo called him dial a quote, and like he had 37 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 1: so many amazing quotes John McKay, And he's been dead 38 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,640 Speaker 1: for a long time and people forget about you and 39 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 1: life moves on. I get it. But that quote in particular, 40 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: when when he was asked the question what do you 41 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 1: think of your team's execution? Coach? And he replied, I'm 42 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 1: in favor of it. See the problem Brian Kelly didn't 43 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 1: get asked that question, what do you He didn't get 44 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 1: asked the same same question. But there were so many 45 00:02:56,120 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 1: wonderful John McKay quotes from back in the day. And 46 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 1: he remember when he said the kickers were like horse manure, 47 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:09,959 Speaker 1: they're all over the plane and uh and uh what 48 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 1: was some of the other lines He said, we can't 49 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:15,399 Speaker 1: win at home, we can't win on the road. What 50 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 1: we need is a neutral site. That was one of 51 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 1: the uh the ways there and uh, I mean it's 52 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 1: it's just all of those those zingers and one liners 53 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 1: um from back back in the day. And he he 54 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,519 Speaker 1: talked about coaching the Bucks when they were an expansion 55 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 1: team and they had the pewter uniforms and the pirate 56 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: helmet thing and all that, and he said it was 57 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 1: a religious experience. He says, you do a lot of praying, 58 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 1: but most of the time the answers no, and uh 59 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 1: it was it was. And then the other one that 60 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 1: John McKay is lucky he didn't use this quote. Imagine 61 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 1: if John mckayd used this quote the Bucks ending you 62 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 1: know that he was asked about Tampa Bay ending its 63 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: twenty six game losing streak, and he said at the time, 64 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 1: his quote was three or four plane crashes and we're 65 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 1: in the playoffs. Remember that, so can you the pussy 66 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 1: willows on social media if they heard, uh notre dame 67 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 1: coach Brian Kelly say three or four plane crashes and 68 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:22,600 Speaker 1: we're in the National Championship game. Oh man. That's the 69 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 1: problem though, right, because you have all these woke reporters 70 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 1: now that that virtue signal. But the bitch and moan 71 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 1: about a guy like Belichick who gives one or two 72 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 1: word answers, then of course then they're up in air, 73 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 1: up in arms. When you get Brian Kelly who just 74 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 1: throws something out there like that, you think you can't 75 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:43,479 Speaker 1: cut it both ways. Yeah, and it sucks. Uh so, 76 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 1: but that that did pretty well the other models. I 77 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 1: did a monologue about the targeting rule that didn't really 78 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 1: connect about U C L A and the U s 79 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:55,839 Speaker 1: U c l A L s U game from last weekend. 80 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 1: You have money on that, right, and uh I did, 81 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,040 Speaker 1: I did all right. But but but the college football thing, 82 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,720 Speaker 1: some people get upset. I know, below the Mason Dixon line. 83 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 1: We don't talk college football southern freight football on the 84 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 1: on the radio show. But typically the way the show works, 85 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 1: uh we yap yap lap lap, we talk mostly the 86 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 1: NFL because the show's wrapped around the NFL we were 87 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 1: guaranteed of having during the NFL regular season, there's game 88 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,280 Speaker 1: every Thursday night. We're on Thursday to Friday, so we 89 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 1: do the post mortem on that, and then Sunday we 90 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 1: come in and there's reacting to the Sunday games and 91 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 1: that takes precedence over college football. And then Monday night 92 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 1: is another night. So then the only time we'd really 93 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,920 Speaker 1: be able to talk college football is Tuesday. But by 94 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 1: then it's really old, so there has to be some 95 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 1: kind of scandal or some kind of really amazing story 96 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 1: that's got legs, which typically does not happen in college football. 97 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:53,279 Speaker 1: So that's it gets lost in the sholf, is what happens. 98 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 1: It's a weird pivot for other guys because they will 99 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 1: tend to stay on it for like seventy two hours, 100 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 1: which is kind of we We've had guys that have 101 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: worked at the Fox Sports Radio over the years that 102 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 1: just loved college football and just would do it, and 103 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 1: they would lead with it and it even on like 104 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 1: an NFL Monday and it was very very odd. Yeah, 105 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 1: it was very odd. Does not resonate? Yeah, does not 106 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 1: does not resonate? I agree. So anyway, so that was 107 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 1: the the college football So you're dead until bowl season. Well, no, 108 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,920 Speaker 1: I'll watch, you understand, Like, even though I don't talk 109 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 1: about it. I'll watch one or two big games. And 110 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:36,799 Speaker 1: usually if U c l A is good at USC 111 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 1: is good, I I used to go to the USC 112 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 1: games for years and I even went to the u 113 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 1: c l A games, and so if they have a 114 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,599 Speaker 1: good team and there's something going on there, I'll watch 115 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:48,360 Speaker 1: that usually, and then I'll watch Alabama because Alabama's a machine. 116 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 1: And then I'll usually pick one or other one or 117 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,839 Speaker 1: two other games and I'll kind of scan them. Um. 118 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,359 Speaker 1: That's that's typically how that works on a college football weekend. 119 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 1: But Saturday is one of my my days of rest, 120 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 1: and so if if I have the the why she's 121 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 1: working on Saturdays, so I have a hall pass to 122 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,599 Speaker 1: watch college football at least for the first couple of 123 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 1: months of the season. After that, usually she wants me 124 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 1: to do stuff with her, so I'll have to watch 125 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 1: on my phone, not that particular point. Now, do you 126 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 1: do anything special traditional wise for Week one of the NFL? 127 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 1: Maybe not the Thursday, but at least the Sunday or 128 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 1: Sunday night. Do you do a special pizza especially? You know, 129 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 1: I have that Fugais fasting thing that I usually do. Uh, 130 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,559 Speaker 1: and Sunday has typically been a day that I fast 131 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 1: the last year, year and a half or something like that. 132 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 1: But I'll I'll make the rare and appropriate exception to 133 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 1: h to partake there. But I love making my own 134 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,840 Speaker 1: red Zone channel, and you know, I got a million 135 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 1: different websites up with them from games.

So yeah, 172 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:40,320 Speaker 1: nobody around here anywhere there's there's that. So just I 173 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 1: have only one nothing really happened eventful this week the 174 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 1: life of Mallard has some have called it here on 175 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,680 Speaker 1: the Saturday podcast. There's only one thing that mildly I 176 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:54,079 Speaker 1: feel is rises to the level the podcast no I 177 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 1: ever covered. My knee has recovered. I did have a 178 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 1: my my gambling buddy Unter came over and he asked 179 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 1: to see the corner of the desk. He had heard 180 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:09,080 Speaker 1: the podcast. He said he wanted to see where the 181 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,680 Speaker 1: actual injury happened. So I pointed out, uh, the and 182 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 1: I adn't even realized that it's actually it's not just 183 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 1: would there's a metal drawer that I had taken out 184 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 1: part of the drawer, and but there's a piece of metal. 185 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 1: So that's that's actually the thing that cut me was 186 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,079 Speaker 1: the piece of metal, which I didn't even realize it 187 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,199 Speaker 1: just looks like a piece of wood, but there's a 188 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 1: piece of metal lashed onto it. But there's no drawer there. 189 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 1: I took the drawer away anyway, so he came in 190 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:33,960 Speaker 1: and asked. But the only thing that really popped up 191 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 1: here I had another lengthy fast. I had a almost 192 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 1: seventy hour fast, sixty nine hour fast. Not doing that 193 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 1: the brag, but at the end of it, I broke 194 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 1: it at the Costco food court. A lot of my 195 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 1: stories revolve around Costco, but a lot of time at Costco. 196 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 1: I spent more time when they had free samples, but 197 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 1: they had those briefly and now because of COVID, they 198 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 1: took those away. I have not seen samples in any 199 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 1: kind of quantity here recently, but something bizarre happened, so 200 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,360 Speaker 1: I I ordered the traditional meal. I am a purist. 201 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,720 Speaker 1: If you've heard me talk about Costco over the years 202 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 1: on the podcast of the radio show, I'm a purist. 203 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,440 Speaker 1: I like the hot dog drink combo slice of pizza. 204 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:19,079 Speaker 1: That is the authentic Costco food court experience, hot dog 205 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:23,559 Speaker 1: drink which comes together and then slice of pizza. I 206 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 1: don't live in Canada. I know we've had some Canadian 207 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 1: listeners who have pointed out that they have chicken fingers 208 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 1: in Canada. I don't live in Canada, um, so I 209 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:35,440 Speaker 1: don't have have chacken fingers. So anyway, this was This 210 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:39,559 Speaker 1: was back on Tuesday and it was pretty busy. Went 211 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 1: there late in the afternoon, three o'clock, three thirty something 212 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 1: like that. I ordered my food and you can only 213 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,679 Speaker 1: order at the kiosk at this costco you no human interaction. 214 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 1: You only order the chiosk. So all the seats were full. 215 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:57,560 Speaker 1: It was that busy. They didn't have that many seats. 216 00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,080 Speaker 1: They've taken some of the seats away. So I ordered 217 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 1: the food. Then you have to go the way where's 218 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:03,680 Speaker 1: you order you food, then to walk up to the 219 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 1: counter and hand your receipt to the person who gives 220 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 1: you food. So I get my pizza, I get my 221 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 1: hot dog, I get my drink, and as I'm walking over, 222 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:13,679 Speaker 1: I see that there has been a seat that has 223 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 1: opened up, and so I went over. I sat down 224 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 1: and I put my drink down, I put my my 225 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 1: pizza down, and then I wanted to put some toppings 226 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 1: on my hot dog. So I then walked over to 227 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:30,240 Speaker 1: the the container that I have with mustard, catchup and 228 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 1: all that stuff, and I want to get some some 229 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,199 Speaker 1: stuff on the sausage. So I walked over there, and uh, 230 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 1: I wasn't I was there like maybe a minute, and 231 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,959 Speaker 1: it doesn't take long to do that. And I had 232 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 1: turned my back for maybe thirty seconds, and much to 233 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 1: my amazement, in the time that I got up walked 234 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 1: over to put stuff on the hot dog and returned, 235 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:55,320 Speaker 1: some interloper had sat down at my seat where I 236 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:58,439 Speaker 1: had left the piece of pizza and the drink which 237 00:12:58,480 --> 00:12:59,959 Speaker 1: was not eating. Pizza was not eating it was just 238 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 1: I needed yet And uh, I'm still trying to figure 239 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:07,600 Speaker 1: out how this schmuck what he was thinking. I mean, 240 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,680 Speaker 1: I would never, like I've never do if I see 241 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 1: somebody putting, if anybody a piece of pizza down in 242 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 1: a drink, they're saving the seed or whatever. There there's 243 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 1: somebody's sitting there, and I'd never do that. Fresh pizza, 244 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 1: pie and a soda anyway. Uh, to me, that's a 245 00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 1: sign that somebody sitting at the table. But so I 246 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 1: came over. I was pissed. I started huffing and puffing, 247 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:32,600 Speaker 1: and and then I went back to the table and I, uh, 248 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,680 Speaker 1: I sat down right across from the guy, and I 249 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 1: gave the guy like this death stare. I grunted. Then 250 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:45,319 Speaker 1: I give a little side I and the guy had 251 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,320 Speaker 1: this like puzzle look like what it was? What was 252 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 1: this yours? But but then at that moment when I 253 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,080 Speaker 1: was about to engage, and I thought, I weighed the 254 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,720 Speaker 1: pros and cons is it worth me getting in making 255 00:13:57,720 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 1: a scene here? And I looked around. There were a 256 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 1: lot of people. It was a busy time. And then 257 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 1: at that moment, two tables over, some guy was getting up. 258 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:10,079 Speaker 1: So I did a cost benefit analysis and I determined 259 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 1: at that time it was not in my best interest 260 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 1: to make a hula balue. So I grabbed the hot dog, 261 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:22,000 Speaker 1: the piece of pizza, and the drink and sprinted skidaddled 262 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:25,480 Speaker 1: over to the table that was opened up. So I 263 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 1: I avoided confrontation. I figured it wasn't it wasn't gonna 264 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 1: be worth it to scream and shout at the guy 265 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 1: with the pizza so or the guy that that took 266 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 1: my my My sat my seat at the table because 267 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 1: he's a douche. Guy said, that guy's a douche, and 268 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 1: I moved on. Now, Uh, one thing, one thing, I 269 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 1: would like to do. One thing I would like to 270 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 1: do now is the Proper Palooza. This is a tradition 271 00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:56,760 Speaker 1: on the podcast. I used to do this on the 272 00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 1: radio show, but since football season NFL season, really I 273 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 1: don't there was a game on Thursday, but it really 274 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 1: begins on Sunday, and this being Saturday. So I love 275 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 1: the exotic prop bets, and I thought this would be 276 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 1: the perfect spot for a bunch of exotic exotic bets, 277 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:18,880 Speaker 1: and so we'll we'll do a few that A few 278 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 1: of these the first coach to be fired. These are 279 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 1: collected from random mostly off shore books. A lot of 280 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 1: these are from off shore books. Now, first coach to 281 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 1: be fired, Cliff Kingsbury is tied with Matt Naggy for 282 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 1: the third option at plus seven fifty. Mike McCarthy in 283 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 1: Dallas is plus seven hundred. Vic Fangio is actually the favorite. 284 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 1: Uncle Vic in Denver is at plus five hundred. Now 285 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 1: that the guy that should be at the very top 286 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 1: of this is not in the top three, and that 287 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:58,120 Speaker 1: would be Zach Taylor of the Bengals, but he is 288 00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 1: coming in at number five, actually number four on the 289 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:06,200 Speaker 1: on the list. I guess whether there's a tie, so 290 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,080 Speaker 1: is either four or five, depending on how you know it. 291 00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 1: But Zach Taylor has been just useless. The Bengals are 292 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:18,760 Speaker 1: a joke and they're expecting Joe Burrow to lead them 293 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 1: to some kind of competitive football and if they continue 294 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:24,040 Speaker 1: to suck, you gotta get rid of him. But the 295 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:28,480 Speaker 1: Bengals are an old school franchise there cheap, known not 296 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 1: to make in season moves, So good luck, right, I'm 297 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 1: who do you think the first coach is gonna get fired? Well, 298 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:43,440 Speaker 1: the Broncos are pretty much run by a trust, so 299 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 1: I don't consider them a legitimate option. Jerry Jones has 300 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:53,480 Speaker 1: been surprisingly pigheaded with coaches. If he wouldn't get rid 301 00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 1: of the Clapper. If he fires McCarthy mid season, he 302 00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:02,600 Speaker 1: would be admitting that he totally screwed up. A name 303 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:04,320 Speaker 1: that's on here, and I like this guy. He's been 304 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:06,560 Speaker 1: very good the Gamblers over the years. Is Mike Zimmer 305 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 1: in Minnesota. The Vikings had a miserable exhibition season. They 306 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,439 Speaker 1: were mediocre last year. I know Zimmer did get a 307 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:18,119 Speaker 1: contract extension, but they've been local kind of just lulling around, 308 00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,840 Speaker 1: treading water in mediocrity. And if they have a rock 309 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:24,159 Speaker 1: bottom season again, and Zimmer is a defensive coach and 310 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 1: their defense wasn't very good last year, and that they've 311 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,480 Speaker 1: got issues. People are are out to get Kirk Cousins 312 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,280 Speaker 1: because he's an anti vax guy and people are out 313 00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:35,040 Speaker 1: to him trying to tear him down. And there's a 314 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 1: lot of like weird stuff going around about the Vikes. 315 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:41,280 Speaker 1: I would put Zimmer higher up. He's plus nine hundred. 316 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,720 Speaker 1: Gruten's on here. I don't think that's why they're gonna happen. 317 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 1: He's got the forever contract. And then there's always the 318 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 1: wild card possibility of one of these dopes getting involved 319 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:59,119 Speaker 1: in a scandal, whether it be personal, financial, criminal, and 320 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 1: then they were to the very top. But the three 321 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:06,280 Speaker 1: coaches that are said to have the longest odds obvious 322 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 1: one Belichick, Tomlin. Uh No, Tomlin actually is in the 323 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:16,320 Speaker 1: middle on this plus hundred. He's got the same odds 324 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 1: as Matt Rule, Caroline. Do you even yeah, Matt Rule 325 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:25,200 Speaker 1: the Carolina coach there, So they have about I have 326 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 1: fired Mike Tomlin every other year for the last eight years. 327 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:33,200 Speaker 1: I fired Mike Toms fired him last year. I did 328 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:36,360 Speaker 1: fire him last year. I fired him three years Ago. 329 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,640 Speaker 1: I think I fired him, Yeah, I fired him. He's 330 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:42,680 Speaker 1: a good sound bite. But the Steelers have not They've 331 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:45,879 Speaker 1: didn't been stuck in that we're a playoff team but 332 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 1: not really a real super Bowl threat type situation or 333 00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:52,359 Speaker 1: a number of you who did you say? What other 334 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 1: name were you mentioned? Uh? Sean Payton is plus twenty hundred. 335 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:03,920 Speaker 1: He has these same odds as Sean McVeigh. Sean mcveigh's 336 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 1: not getting Ron Rivera. Sean McVeigh, Sean Payton all in 337 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 1: that group. John Harbaugh is in that group. Am I 338 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,360 Speaker 1: missing something out of that division where people are are 339 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:17,639 Speaker 1: expecting Dallas to just walk away with it? Well, that happens. 340 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,719 Speaker 1: The Cowboys every year get hyped up. Jerry Jones is 341 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:24,120 Speaker 1: the master hype man. So and the Cowboy fans are 342 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:26,520 Speaker 1: always delusional anyway, I know. But this is like a 343 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:28,480 Speaker 1: public favorite and so, but you have all them, you 344 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 1: have both networks Fox and ESPN at nauseum. I understand 345 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,200 Speaker 1: that you know it's America's team or whatever, but it's 346 00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 1: not even that like to me. It's first of all, 347 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,800 Speaker 1: it's the fact they have stars and and and they 348 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 1: have a star in their helmet and Washington the team 349 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:46,159 Speaker 1: that used to be called the Redskins. They have a 350 00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 1: pretty good defense, but they don't have stars. There's no 351 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,280 Speaker 1: you know, like, you can't really be a big star 352 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:58,159 Speaker 1: on defense and on offense, we've got Ryan Fitzpatrick. You 353 00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:01,640 Speaker 1: nobody gets excited about Ryan fitzpat Trick as your quarterback. 354 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:03,480 Speaker 1: You don't get fired up and said, that's the team 355 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 1: that's going to make the playoffs and that. But if 356 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:10,359 Speaker 1: he could play marginal football, marginal football, they're winning that division. No, 357 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 1: I agree, And I think Washington is going to be 358 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 1: a similarly good team. I think they'll be better than 359 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,880 Speaker 1: last year because the defense, well, it will be even 360 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:24,920 Speaker 1: better as they continue to it's like a wine maturing. 361 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,639 Speaker 1: Some of those younger guys keep getting more confidence and 362 00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:31,160 Speaker 1: get better, so they'll get better. But given the fact 363 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 1: that you have Fitzpatrick that is a schizophrenic at the 364 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:38,399 Speaker 1: quarterback position, do you fear putting money on them? Well, 365 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:40,639 Speaker 1: I wouldn't bet on like an overall win total on 366 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,400 Speaker 1: Washington because Ryan Fitzpatrick will be the top. The same 367 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,199 Speaker 1: thing happens every time he says he's really good for 368 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 1: four or five games. When that fitz magic thing happened, 369 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,879 Speaker 1: in Tampa a couple of years ago, and he was 370 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,960 Speaker 1: doing he came out dressed like Connor McGregor the news 371 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 1: conference and all that. It was great. And then like 372 00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,359 Speaker 1: a month later he was taking a ride on the 373 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:04,800 Speaker 1: Vomit Comte and was it was terrible. So but it's 374 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,680 Speaker 1: it's really by process of elimination in the NFC East, 375 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,080 Speaker 1: because you figure Philadelphia is not even trying chance with 376 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:14,480 Speaker 1: Nick Serriani, and then the Giants are in this weird 377 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 1: spot where they are seemingly trying and Joe Judge is 378 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:20,879 Speaker 1: one of those guys that seems like the kind of 379 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,879 Speaker 1: guy that you would pull for, like in theory. But 380 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,320 Speaker 1: they have Daniel Jones who sucks and s Kwon Barkley 381 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:31,360 Speaker 1: is questionable now from here on out. Yeah, well he's 382 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 1: a running back and so he's always uh game time 383 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:36,719 Speaker 1: decision week after we anyway. So that's those are the 384 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,400 Speaker 1: odds of the first coach to be fired. Let's see 385 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:45,639 Speaker 1: most new quarterback passing yards Week one, Stafford. Stafford is 386 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:50,920 Speaker 1: actually second. Jamis Winston is the favorite at plus two 387 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:55,840 Speaker 1: fifth against the Green Bay Packers. I would not bet 388 00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 1: on Winsteon for two reasons. Number One, if you look 389 00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:02,159 Speaker 1: at the samet depth depth. They don't have Michael Thomas. 390 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:04,760 Speaker 1: He's not gonna play for the first month or so 391 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:08,159 Speaker 1: of the season, at least it would seem. And the 392 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:11,480 Speaker 1: wide receivers don't have the wild factor. Now Alvin Kamara 393 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:13,399 Speaker 1: will get you a lot of yards after the catch, 394 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:19,960 Speaker 1: and Winston has a bazooka. The Packers defensively aren't horrific 395 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 1: right there. They've got a decent defense in Green Bay. 396 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 1: Stafford Ryan Fitzpatrick actually is the third option among the 397 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:36,159 Speaker 1: quarterbacks that changed teams. The lowest option is obviously Andy Dalton. 398 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 1: I would put Dalton the head of Tyrod Taylor because 399 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:44,720 Speaker 1: he sinks and and he's gonna be well. Fuller's out, 400 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:47,639 Speaker 1: he's out for a game with a suspension, So they 401 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:51,640 Speaker 1: have nobody there. Their win totals four and I don't 402 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:56,399 Speaker 1: know how it hits four. The Texans, Yeah, this is 403 00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,360 Speaker 1: this is a tough game to start because he's that's 404 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:05,399 Speaker 1: a winnable game. On Sunday, Texans and Jags. I like 405 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 1: Jacksonville in the game, as we talked about on Benny 406 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,879 Speaker 1: versus the Penny. I like Jacksonville. I think Urban will 407 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,199 Speaker 1: be okay, and the Texans are a bad team, and 408 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 1: I don't Trevor Lawrence. I think we'll get off to 409 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 1: a decent start, and all you need is decent to 410 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 1: beat the Texans. But that is a messed up situation. 411 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 1: Which rookie quarterback will have the most passing yards week? 412 00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:30,160 Speaker 1: One of the three top hot shot rookie quarterbacks starting 413 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:33,879 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence, Mac mac Jones, Zack Wilson. Lawrence is the 414 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 1: favorite at plus one Jacksonville's. I think they got a 415 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,320 Speaker 1: pretty good running game going there. At least it got 416 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 1: some some value in the running game. I I would 417 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,560 Speaker 1: take a flyer with Zax Sison. I would be very 418 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:56,359 Speaker 1: surprised if mac Jones does does much gaudy in the 419 00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,680 Speaker 1: passing year. I think Belichick is gonna gonna dumb down 420 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 1: the play book a lot of running. The Patriots gonna 421 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,120 Speaker 1: be more of a running team here in the Max 422 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,040 Speaker 1: gonna need a lot of yak a lot of yards 423 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,320 Speaker 1: after catching the Patriots, even though they're better at the 424 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:12,160 Speaker 1: white opposition, I do not see a lot of yakty 425 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:18,280 Speaker 1: yak for for those guys like Jack Wilson. Yeah, I mean, 426 00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:22,080 Speaker 1: just because you figured they're gonna be trailing anyway, I 427 00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 1: don't know about that. They're playing Carolina. Carolina is to 428 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 1: meet Carolina is not that good, and they have Sam Donald. 429 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,359 Speaker 1: So the count. The counter argument that is that Sam 430 00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 1: Donald is good for one or two mistakes that in 431 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 1: that short yardage turnovers and so you're not gonna have 432 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:41,879 Speaker 1: a long field to rack up the passing yards. Al right, 433 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:46,760 Speaker 1: first player to miss a game due to COVID nineteen protocols. 434 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:51,119 Speaker 1: So this is not getting COVID. This is violating the protocol. 435 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:54,280 Speaker 1: So this means you're unvaccinated. Lamar Jackson is the favorite 436 00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:59,880 Speaker 1: at plus four hundred, Cole Beasley at plus five, Kirk 437 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:04,680 Speaker 1: Cousins at plus five seventy five, Adam Feeling. I guess 438 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:06,959 Speaker 1: he's not vaccident. I don't know. I don't really obsess 439 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,480 Speaker 1: with that, but some people do. Plus six hundred, DeAndre 440 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:14,439 Speaker 1: Hopkins plus six, Joe Mixon at plus six fifty. What 441 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:20,959 Speaker 1: you should do, Gascon is put together an unvaxed fantasy team. 442 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:24,400 Speaker 1: There's enough guys that you could have. Feeling Hopkins, Now, 443 00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:30,840 Speaker 1: which quarterback Joe Mixon will be your running back? Alan 444 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 1: Rob You're gonna have naj Harris though, Naga Harris then 445 00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:38,159 Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey's not vaccinated. Apparently he's on the list. So 446 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:43,520 Speaker 1: what defense? Then that's a good question. San Francisco, who's 447 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,600 Speaker 1: oh yeah, because Abosa? Is he not? Maybe? Is he 448 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 1: not vaccident? I don't know who. I really don't keep 449 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:50,400 Speaker 1: track of it. I don't really care whether your vaccinating 450 00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:53,760 Speaker 1: or not. So wh who are the people that are 451 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:56,800 Speaker 1: not vaccinated? On defense? I know the offensive guys because 452 00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:02,760 Speaker 1: the media about them. Maybe Tennessee. Did Tennessee have like 453 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:05,399 Speaker 1: seven guys or nine guys that were out including Rabel? 454 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,360 Speaker 1: Yeah he had it, but I think he was vaccinated, 455 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,840 Speaker 1: thank you. I'd have to do some more research on that. 456 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 1: But there's some good white outs. You could have DeAndre Hopkins, 457 00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 1: Allen Robinson and feeling uh and Cole Beasley you know 458 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:24,680 Speaker 1: he's not that good, but DeAndre Hopkins feeling just right there, 459 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 1: Matt McCaffrey in the backfield, and Lamar Jackson. You're gonna win, 460 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,680 Speaker 1: You're gonna win. The unvaxed team will beat the vax team. 461 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:37,520 Speaker 1: I need an unvaxed kicker and good look on that. 462 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:41,280 Speaker 1: I don't no the kickers. How many kickers could you name? 463 00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:48,640 Speaker 1: Are these in da Hoss brothers ayans manus default even 464 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:53,680 Speaker 1: my def Minitary's gone for twenty something years. It was 465 00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:55,479 Speaker 1: Adam Vinitary and then it was the guy that replaced 466 00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:57,240 Speaker 1: Vinitary who was also gone. The guy was with the 467 00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:59,680 Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans last year. It was a guy's name Ryan 468 00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,840 Speaker 1: suck Up. No, no, no, not suck Up. There was 469 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:04,520 Speaker 1: the other guy that was the old Patriot kicker that 470 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:08,879 Speaker 1: whom are the type of Gostkowski? Yeah, Stephen Gaskowski. I 471 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:12,199 Speaker 1: think he's out of the NFL. Now. Think they do 472 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:16,440 Speaker 1: my my Kicker depth chart. Make it do Chicago's defense 473 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:19,439 Speaker 1: the Bears. Yeah, maybe they don't seem like a lot 474 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:23,119 Speaker 1: of guys that will be faxed. Uh. Yeah, it's some 475 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:27,760 Speaker 1: name name players there that reminds me since Week one 476 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 1: is already here. Who won? Um? Who won the U 477 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:36,879 Speaker 1: the infamous yearly um? Uh? Fantasy Pool with you guys. 478 00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:44,200 Speaker 1: I believe Eddie one. Oh, I don't know. I think 479 00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:48,359 Speaker 1: Coop has to. Maybe he crunched the numbers and I forgot, 480 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:50,399 Speaker 1: But I think I think Eddie. Eddie had like a 481 00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:54,200 Speaker 1: rash of guys that got got in trouble with the 482 00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:56,360 Speaker 1: law and I'm I'm done. Handicap and that every year. 483 00:27:56,400 --> 00:28:00,679 Speaker 1: I spent hours handicapping it and what's the point. What's 484 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:04,359 Speaker 1: the point? As Dick Stockton taught us, he taught me 485 00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:06,280 Speaker 1: and I passed it on. Is it that to tell 486 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:09,520 Speaker 1: you what has happened, not what's going to happen? It's 487 00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:11,679 Speaker 1: one of the great lines ever. Have you stolen that 488 00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:13,960 Speaker 1: as your own? No? No, you know what it said. 489 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,760 Speaker 1: Fortunate no one's picked up on that bit nashally though, 490 00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:21,640 Speaker 1: because there's got to be some virtue signaling reporter that 491 00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 1: has to be appalled by that segment that yeah, yeah, yeah, 492 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:29,879 Speaker 1: we we we get told every once in a while. Well, 493 00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:33,280 Speaker 1: as soon as the uh, the lunar tune, luny tunes, 494 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,280 Speaker 1: you start obsessing about this, we'll have to cancel the segment. 495 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:38,840 Speaker 1: I had a producer I will not reveal the prucer's 496 00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:43,040 Speaker 1: name that made us stop doing one of my favorite 497 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:46,480 Speaker 1: bits on the show during NASCAR, which lap will Dana 498 00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:53,520 Speaker 1: erect and we would pick like five random laps during 499 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:57,160 Speaker 1: the course of a NASCAR race and inevitably we we 500 00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,960 Speaker 1: would get very close or have a winner every week. 501 00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:04,840 Speaker 1: It was very rare that danikad finished the race and 502 00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:09,760 Speaker 1: a producer I had back in the day that said, hey, 503 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,240 Speaker 1: you can't do that because she she could die in 504 00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:14,520 Speaker 1: one of these recks, and then if she dies, they're 505 00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:17,440 Speaker 1: gonna go back and say it was what lap will 506 00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:20,640 Speaker 1: she reckon? You know? I was like, come on, yeah, 507 00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:23,440 Speaker 1: and Fox obviously has a good partnership with NASCAR, so 508 00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,880 Speaker 1: that's really good. So who came up with that idea? 509 00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:32,640 Speaker 1: Was that yours? That was I think it was a 510 00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,800 Speaker 1: It was my idea. I was inspired by a listener 511 00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:39,640 Speaker 1: if I remember correct. Uh, and we went We went 512 00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,200 Speaker 1: with that, all right. Moving on a few other proper puloosers. 513 00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:47,560 Speaker 1: Here we have will a team fourfeited game to COVID No. 514 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:51,720 Speaker 1: No's minus five thousand. Yes is plus one thousand. That 515 00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:55,560 Speaker 1: implies a nine point one percent chance. Will DeShawn Watson 516 00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:59,640 Speaker 1: be active for a game this year? Yes? Is plus 517 00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:03,800 Speaker 1: one fifty That implies at chance, I don't think he 518 00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:07,800 Speaker 1: will be. I'm gonna go with no, which is minus 519 00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:11,720 Speaker 1: two hundred minus two hundred on that. How many players 520 00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,880 Speaker 1: will be suspended during the regular season over under four 521 00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:20,880 Speaker 1: that's close, that's right around where it usually is. I'll 522 00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:24,200 Speaker 1: go I'll go under to be different. How many NFL 523 00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:26,680 Speaker 1: players will be arrested during the regular season. I'm gonna 524 00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:31,160 Speaker 1: go under under minus my unders five five point five. 525 00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:37,680 Speaker 1: Take the under, which will be higher. Los Angeles team wins, Rams, 526 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,960 Speaker 1: Chargers or New York based teams. They're they're talking to 527 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:42,840 Speaker 1: New York City here, so that even though they play 528 00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:47,000 Speaker 1: in New Jersey. The Giants and the Jets, well, that's oh, 529 00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:48,720 Speaker 1: I think they might. Yeah, maybe they have the bills 530 00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:52,320 Speaker 1: in there all that they have to write. Nobody would Yeah, 531 00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:53,920 Speaker 1: so you figured the Bills are gonna be good for 532 00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:57,120 Speaker 1: ten or eleven. At least the Jets and Giants combine 533 00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:01,640 Speaker 1: might win seven seventeen games, so maybe they win seven 534 00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:05,240 Speaker 1: or eight. So if the Bills win ten, I'm taking 535 00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:10,560 Speaker 1: the Alants Rams. The Rams is like a twelve and 536 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:13,000 Speaker 1: five type. Yeah. I think the Charges are winning ten, 537 00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:17,600 Speaker 1: Charges winning ten, so that will put them at the twenty. Yeah, 538 00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:22,360 Speaker 1: it seems it seems about right. Uh. Super Bowl champion 539 00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:25,640 Speaker 1: will come from rich Which state a red state or 540 00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:30,479 Speaker 1: a blue state? It's tough for you. Why is that? 541 00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:34,040 Speaker 1: Because I have the blue state the blue state. Here's 542 00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:37,160 Speaker 1: the question, though, what's that if a recall goes through 543 00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,680 Speaker 1: here in a couple of days, it becomes a red 544 00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:43,320 Speaker 1: does become a red state, well, the governor becomes here. 545 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:47,920 Speaker 1: But Florida, I believe it or not, is the favorite. 546 00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:50,120 Speaker 1: That's just because if they have the most teams, well, 547 00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:54,200 Speaker 1: they have Tampa Dolphins or Jacksonville is going to Tampa. 548 00:31:55,160 --> 00:32:00,240 Speaker 1: California second, Rams, Chargers and Niners. Third is Missouri with 549 00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:03,880 Speaker 1: the Chiefs. Maryland they have two teams. They have the 550 00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:08,080 Speaker 1: Washington football team and the Ravens. The state with the 551 00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:13,280 Speaker 1: worst odds should be easy. I'm gonna say Las Vegas. Uh, 552 00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:19,880 Speaker 1: that's that's a city. Uh No, it's Michigan Giants plus 553 00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:25,000 Speaker 1: fifteen thousand, Carolina North Carolina at plus eight thousands tied, 554 00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:28,160 Speaker 1: same odds with Georgia or the I don't know, same 555 00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:31,080 Speaker 1: ads with the Nevada. Rather, the Raiders are plus eight thousand. 556 00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:36,600 Speaker 1: Georgia with the Falcons is plus seventy. Illinois plus sixty 557 00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:40,640 Speaker 1: six hundred, So that those are some of the odds. 558 00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:44,680 Speaker 1: I like California. I actually do like the Chargers, Rams 559 00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:49,080 Speaker 1: and the fort but all l A super Bowl in 560 00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:54,840 Speaker 1: l A, Chargers Rams in Los Angeles, well in Inglewood 561 00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:57,600 Speaker 1: in the hood. Now can you imagine the uniform combination too? 562 00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:02,040 Speaker 1: For that m M would be good. That's the first 563 00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:04,440 Speaker 1: team to lose. First team to lose a Buccaneers or 564 00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:06,880 Speaker 1: the Chiefs. I have to look at the schedule on 565 00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:09,560 Speaker 1: this one. I've not looked at the I would assume 566 00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:11,600 Speaker 1: the Chiefs have a tougher schedule because they are minus 567 00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:17,960 Speaker 1: one fifty and the Buccaneers are plus one ten on 568 00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:23,880 Speaker 1: that first team to win, Lions or Texans. Detroit Texans 569 00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:28,680 Speaker 1: are minus one fifty yea because people think they got 570 00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:31,080 Speaker 1: shot against. At least golf can win you a game, 571 00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:35,880 Speaker 1: right like golf can get you one. Last undefeated team, 572 00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:41,080 Speaker 1: last undefeated team. This is a surprise. It's it's not 573 00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:46,360 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay second at plus sixty six fifty. The forty Niners. 574 00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:51,080 Speaker 1: The forty Niners are the They have the the top 575 00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:54,600 Speaker 1: outs at plus six hundred. Wow in that Division two. 576 00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:58,720 Speaker 1: That's interesting. Yeah, So let's go to the schedule here 577 00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:03,120 Speaker 1: and see they must play the hostess schedule to start 578 00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:08,000 Speaker 1: the year. The Forts a regular season schedule. No, it's not. 579 00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:10,719 Speaker 1: They played the Lions and the Eagles the first two weeks, 580 00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:15,040 Speaker 1: so that those should be gimmis. Although I like the 581 00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:18,520 Speaker 1: Lions is a sneaky good underdog play I don't think 582 00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:21,120 Speaker 1: the Niners should be favored by that much over the Lions. 583 00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:25,319 Speaker 1: And then they play Green Bay at home Seattle little so, 584 00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:28,240 Speaker 1: I don't know why the forty Niners are the top 585 00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:32,120 Speaker 1: choice on that and decimated last year because of injuries though, 586 00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:34,880 Speaker 1: my Manya, and that was last year, my man, and 587 00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:36,680 Speaker 1: it's a brand new year. I think they'll be good 588 00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:39,280 Speaker 1: this year. I think that's an eleven win football team, 589 00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:43,360 Speaker 1: the Niners. I don't. I don't know. They'll end up 590 00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:46,080 Speaker 1: having the usual injuries. They don't have the depth. Hell, 591 00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:48,600 Speaker 1: their secondary doesn't have any depth. They brought in Josh Norman. 592 00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:51,799 Speaker 1: A bad sign when a week before the season you're 593 00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:55,320 Speaker 1: bringing in Josh Norman, who's has been good in six years. 594 00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:58,040 Speaker 1: Tell you what I'm I'm just licking my chops to 595 00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:01,600 Speaker 1: see Kyler Murray run wild this reason here he could 596 00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:05,839 Speaker 1: have a monster, little Kyler.
