Speaker 1: Ka boom boom. If you thought four hours a day,
Speaker 1: minutes a week was enough, think again. He's the last
Speaker 1: remnants of the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness.
Speaker 1: He treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as
Speaker 1: the rich pill poppers in the penthouse, to clearinghouse of
Speaker 1: hot takes, break free for something special. The Fifth Hour
Speaker 1: with Ben Maller starts right now in the air everywhere,
Speaker 1: and it is another weekend upon us, The Fifth Hour
Speaker 1: with Ben Maller and Danny G Radio, and it is
Speaker 1: the next to last edition of Benny Versus the Penny.
Speaker 1: So let's strike up the band. Welcome players, You're welcome,
Speaker 1: Are you up? It's time now Penny versus the Penny.
Speaker 1: But then here we are Danny G. Championship Weekend in
Speaker 1: the NFL, and there are just three games left on
Speaker 1: the NFL calendar, and then we go into off season
Speaker 1: hibernation mode when the rumor rules the day. But we
Speaker 1: got a couple of games on Sunday which we will
Speaker 1: break down. But as you know, Danny, we must look
Speaker 1: back before we look ahead. So we have to look
Speaker 1: back to the divisional round. I told you the Penny
Speaker 1: was not gonna function like that. Two weeks in a row.
Speaker 1: I knew it. I called it. Yeah, I got smoked
Speaker 1: by the Penny the in the wild card round. Uh
Speaker 1: not not quite as good last week for the Penny. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And we've always joked about the Pro Bowl that it's
Speaker 1: turning into flag football, and now it really is going
Speaker 1: to be flag football. So the Penny we're off next week.
Speaker 1: So are we gonna do like a flag podcast? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I'm not sure. Should we handicap some of the gazzy
Speaker 1: things the NFL has come up with, like like are
Speaker 1: they doing like a potato sack raise? Like what what
Speaker 1: do the thing? I know they have a bunch of
Speaker 1: nonsense that there they're doing. It's all like for TikTok to.
Speaker 1: It's like the NFL is like they just are fully admitting,
Speaker 1: like they're they've given up. The players don't want to
Speaker 1: play football. The players a bunch of pussy willows and
Speaker 1: they don't want to play. And so I get it.
Speaker 1: I understand why they don't want to play. So now
Speaker 1: they're like, fuck it, We'll just we'll just promote the
Speaker 1: little video vignettes for for the Internet, for the kids.
Speaker 1: Gen z Man, we gotta get them watching. I can't
Speaker 1: wait for the ultimate frisbee game. Yeah, that's that's must
Speaker 1: see TV, right, But but that's next weekend. We gotta
Speaker 1: get through the championship games this weekend. But let's look
Speaker 1: back at the Division A round now. The while of
Speaker 1: the card round, which began the playoffs, I got crushed.
Speaker 1: I only got one game, right, I went one four
Speaker 1: and one on wild card weekend. After a great regular season,
Speaker 1: I took it in the shorts. In wild card round,
Speaker 1: the penny went four one and one. The greatest week
Speaker 1: the penny had all year was on wild card weekend.
Speaker 1: But then last week the divisional round, there were four
Speaker 1: games played and I bounced back. I went three and
Speaker 1: one against the spread. So Benny's record three and one.
Speaker 1: The penny went too and two against the number, So
Speaker 1: that's five. You lose money on that. So there's two
Speaker 1: ways to look at this, Danny. Either overall, where I'm
Speaker 1: only five hundred in the playoffs and the penny is
Speaker 1: six three and one, or that we've had two weeks
Speaker 1: of the playoffs and I won one week in the
Speaker 1: penny one one week, so we're even. I like that
Speaker 1: six win record a little better. Yeah, but last week,
Speaker 1: if you took my picks, you won seventy your bets solid.
Speaker 1: You took the penny, you lost a little bit of money.
Speaker 1: You gotta be the tipping point right here. Yeah, this
Speaker 1: will be big this weekend. So the Bengals dominated last week.
Speaker 1: I had that. I had Cincinnati winning in a close
Speaker 1: game Jacksonville. I got a wee bit lucky on that
Speaker 1: Mahomes got hurt, but I also got the backdoor cover
Speaker 1: with Mahomes playing in the second half. The game I
Speaker 1: completely got wrong was the Giants. They got blown to
Speaker 1: smith of Reens by the Eagles, and the forty Niners
Speaker 1: did take care of business against the Cowboys. So that's
Speaker 1: how it went last week. But now we look ahead.
Speaker 1: There's just two games, so this is not gonna be
Speaker 1: a long winded podcast. Would be relatively short, but I
Speaker 1: am very for post dandy, so I think I can
Speaker 1: milk this for at least a solid half hour of content.
Speaker 1: So we'll see. My heart will be happy to hear that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they need that. They need that sweet spot, right. It's
Speaker 1: like Ken Levine said, people do thirty minutes on the
Speaker 1: treadmill bend. We had kenn on you do thirty minute podcast.
Speaker 1: That's all. You gotta gotta be at least twenty five minutes,
Speaker 1: my man. That's all though. That's it, man. You get
Speaker 1: out of bed, you do twenty five minutes before you
Speaker 1: get out of that bedroom. I like, well, no, no,
Speaker 1: that's actually not true. All right. Uh so let's get
Speaker 1: to it right now. Championship Weekend Benny Versus the Penny
Speaker 1: and the early game in the NFC Sad Francisco and Philadelphia.
Speaker 1: It's on Fox with Kevin Burkhardt and Greg Olsen. They
Speaker 1: have the call. The Eagles opened up a three and
Speaker 1: a half point favorite. The Birds are a two and
Speaker 1: a half point favorite. The money is pretty even on
Speaker 1: this game. There's a slight lean to the home team
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia at Lincoln Financial Field, mostly sunny, and a
Speaker 1: kickoff temperature of forty eight degrees in South Philly for
Speaker 1: this one San Francisco. You look at some of the
Speaker 1: numbers on this game. Overall this season, the third team
Speaker 1: in six against the spread, the Eagles nine and nine,
Speaker 1: So they have not been that kind to the gambling
Speaker 1: market there, just nine and nine against the number. Kyle
Speaker 1: Shanahan in the playoffs has been a big baller in
Speaker 1: the playoffs, here's seven and one against the spread in
Speaker 1: eight playoff games, and that is actually tied with Doug Peterson,
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville coach, for the top against the spread record
Speaker 1: of any coach anywhere in the Super Bowl era minimum
Speaker 1: three games. He's also seven and oh against the spread.
Speaker 1: Shanahan is in playoff games prior to the Super Bowl,
Speaker 1: for whatever that's worth. And San Francisco has covered five
Speaker 1: straight games. That is the longest active streak in the NFL.
Speaker 1: But wait, there's more. Brock Purty has started seven games,
Speaker 1: including the playoffs, and you talk about going hog wild,
Speaker 1: Brock party six and one against the spread, and in
Speaker 1: his career as a starter, all of them as a favorite.
Speaker 1: That is tied for the fifth longest favorite streak to
Speaker 1: begin a career by any quarterback since the merger. That
Speaker 1: will end this weekend. As the Niners are a road
Speaker 1: dog san Francisco's. They won twelve straight overall, their ten
Speaker 1: and two against the spread in that stretch, and Kyle
Speaker 1: Shanahan's got a sneaky good record as a road underdog
Speaker 1: nineteen and ten against the spread overall on the road
Speaker 1: and has been even better of lately. Of late last
Speaker 1: fifteen games, the Niners are twelve and three against the spread.
Speaker 1: So the numbers are are pretty good in favor of
Speaker 1: San Francisco. But for Philadelphia it's there's some good news
Speaker 1: there as well. Jalen Hurts nine two and one against
Speaker 1: the spread as a home favorite in his career. Seven
Speaker 1: times he has been a single digit home favorite, and
Speaker 1: the Eagles are seven and all against the spread in
Speaker 1: those games. So I'm giving you a lot of numbers.
Speaker 1: This is paralysis by analysis, but there's tons of numbers.
Speaker 1: The Eagles against the spread at home when they play
Speaker 1: teams from the West Coast, they have not done very well.
Speaker 1: I know this goes back to different vintages of the Eagles,
Speaker 1: but they're three and twelve against the spread at home
Speaker 1: Philly last fifteen games against teams that have traveled two
Speaker 1: thousand miles and more so those West Coast teams. The
Speaker 1: pick is in though, and I am going to take
Speaker 1: the San Francisco forty Niners. That's the big ticket here,
Speaker 1: and here's why San Francisco wins this game. With Nick Bosa,
Speaker 1: Fred Warner and that front seven limiting the Eagle running game,
Speaker 1: that's the secret saucer. The forty Niners had the NFL's
Speaker 1: number one run d fence that was tied actually with
Speaker 1: the Titans for number one, allowing three point four yards
Speaker 1: per carry. That is the ace in the hole here. Uh.
Speaker 1: And you look at the dominance of Jalen Hurts and
Speaker 1: you want to obviously force him to do what he's
Speaker 1: not particularly great at. And if you look at the
Speaker 1: run pass separation, he's a better runner than he is
Speaker 1: a thrower. So have him have to complete passes on
Speaker 1: third down and deal with the stress of a close game.
Speaker 1: The Eagles had an easy time as they turned the
Speaker 1: Giants into an omelet and actually not even an I
Speaker 1: was scrambled eggs last week. It is a different world,
Speaker 1: a different world with the Niners defense. Christian McCaffrey and
Speaker 1: Elijah Mitchell to to me going in this game are
Speaker 1: the folks. Now. The Eagles defense is pretty good too,
Speaker 1: I mean really good. In some areas they're actually better
Speaker 1: than the forty Niners. The run defense is not one
Speaker 1: of those areas. So statistically, based on what has happened
Speaker 1: now necessarily what's going to happen. That's why you play
Speaker 1: the game, and it's it's a matter of who does
Speaker 1: well in the moment. But the Eagles defense, they're one
Speaker 1: of their weak spots in the NFL against the run,
Speaker 1: so that ain't great. And so the Niners can matriculate
Speaker 1: the ball down the field, keep it close to the vest.
Speaker 1: The key here is you want a close game fourth quarter, obviously,
Speaker 1: because Philadelphia has not had a lot of those when
Speaker 1: they've had all their guys play. The thing that does
Speaker 1: give me pause is whether or not I keep going
Speaker 1: back to Brock Purty. Is he going to be able
Speaker 1: to get the job done now? Purdy has been ridunculously
Speaker 1: good in back to back player because he wasn't great
Speaker 1: last week, but he was good enough. He was better
Speaker 1: than Dak Prescott in order to win the game last week.
Speaker 1: And if you look at some of the numbers here
Speaker 1: in the second half and some of the statistical breakdowns,
Speaker 1: and again a lot of is paralysis by analysis and
Speaker 1: all that, but when you look at the numbers and
Speaker 1: see how how good Purty has been against Seattle, which
Speaker 1: isn't a very good defense, and and then also against
Speaker 1: the Cowards, which do have a pretty good defense, it
Speaker 1: does give you more confidence that things are gonna work out. Actually,
Speaker 1: I wanted to bring up some of the stats here.
Speaker 1: I want to bring those up right now, because why not.
Speaker 1: We only have two games to break down, so we
Speaker 1: can do that right now. And uh let's see here,
Speaker 1: brock Purty in the second half of these two playoff
Speaker 1: games that he's played has been insane. He's sixteen of
Speaker 1: twenty one, two hundred seventy yards, two touchdowns, no interceptions,
Speaker 1: and a one fifty passer rating. So that's uh yeah,
Speaker 1: one one fifty is the passer rating. Sixteen of twenty
Speaker 1: one though passing, so that seems like that will get
Speaker 1: it done. And uh yeah, but what do I know? Anyway,
Speaker 1: that is it. I'm gonna take the forty Niners twenty
Speaker 1: three and the Philip Delphi Eagles. I'm sorry, Fat's in Philly.
Speaker 1: They will score twenty points Niners over the Eagles. And
Speaker 1: no surprise here, the penny lands on heads. That means
Speaker 1: going with the home team, big bend, Philly in the house.
Speaker 1: It is Philly's house. The Eagles are gonna win. Well,
Speaker 1: the Eagle fans will will make the pilgrimage, as will
Speaker 1: the forty Niner fans to Arizona. So there will be
Speaker 1: the people from Philadelphia travel well some more forty Niner
Speaker 1: porn for brock Purty. The Niners in that last game
Speaker 1: against the Cowboys, brock Purty had The Niners had nine
Speaker 1: offensive possessions pretty had a completion of sixteen or more
Speaker 1: yards on seven of them against that Dallas defense. Of
Speaker 1: the ten in completions he had against the Cowboys, four
Speaker 1: of them he threw the ball away and two of
Speaker 1: them were tipped. So my computer like brain tells me
Speaker 1: that he really only had four natural incompletions where he
Speaker 1: fucked up. The other times were throwaways or passes were
Speaker 1: tipped at the line of scrimmage. So we'll see what
Speaker 1: happens in this NFC Championship game. Now we get to
Speaker 1: the late game on Championship Sunday, Cincinnati at King City.
Speaker 1: It's on CBS with Jim Nance and Tony Romo. They
Speaker 1: have the call on this one, and the Chiefs opened
Speaker 1: up a two and a half point favorite. Now it
Speaker 1: is interesting on this game because early in the week
Speaker 1: the line shifted back to Cincinnati. They were favored by one,
Speaker 1: and as we are doing this, you don't know when
Speaker 1: we were we do this penny versus the Penny as
Speaker 1: we're doing it right now. The Chiefs are a one
Speaker 1: point favorite. The money on this fifty eight percent of
Speaker 1: the action is in favor of the road team, So
Speaker 1: the public does like Cincinnati in this game, a lean
Speaker 1: towards the Bengals at Arrowhead Stadium, cloudy and eighteen degrees
Speaker 1: at kickoff. I was on back on Thursday. I was
Speaker 1: on with my guys on six ten Sports in Kansas City.
Speaker 1: My my buddy Josh, He informed me, I did not
Speaker 1: know this technology existed, Danny, but he's the sideline reporter
Speaker 1: for the Chiefs and he's a buddy of mine, and
Speaker 1: he told me, you know it's gonna be very called.
Speaker 1: Eighteen degrees at kickoff. This guy's wandering around the field
Speaker 1: that arrow had. I said, what the hell, what do you?
Speaker 1: What do you do there? How many layers do you have?
Speaker 1: And he said the Chiefs hooked him up. They actually
Speaker 1: have jackets which have a returned are you I'm not
Speaker 1: I wasn't away. They have jackets that have a rechargeable
Speaker 1: battery in them. I have never heard of this, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: we live in California. We don't have to worry about that.
Speaker 1: So this jacket like it's it's it's actually not that pricey.
Speaker 1: I thought it would be a lot more. It's like,
Speaker 1: you know, it's a hundred and fifty two hundred bucks.
Speaker 1: It's expensive. But there's this company that makes it, and
Speaker 1: I think they're based in in the Midwest, but they
Speaker 1: probably should be if they're not. Uh, it's really cool,
Speaker 1: Like these are like nice looking regular jackets you would
Speaker 1: never know and you just you can recharge the battery
Speaker 1: in the battery last like ten hours, so you're like
Speaker 1: walking around with a remote heating blanket. Exactly. How cool
Speaker 1: is that? And they have they have heated socks that
Speaker 1: have a battery in them, and they have gloves that
Speaker 1: are like that as well. Boy, if I lived in
Speaker 1: a really nasty weather place, i'd get those. I'd be fine.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't mind. The weather wouldn't be that bad. We
Speaker 1: could get those for our girls, even here in California,
Speaker 1: so they could quit their whining. Exactly. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm gonna send you. Hold on a second, I mean, yeah, said,
Speaker 1: you'll send you the website. I'm dying. My girl dies
Speaker 1: when it's thirty nine degrees outside. Yeah, it was thirty
Speaker 1: nine this week. Actually, I'll I'm gonna send you the
Speaker 1: link right here, click this over here. And they're not
Speaker 1: a sponsor, but if they want to be a sponsor,
Speaker 1: will be more than happy to take some sponsorship dollars.
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's the place. Yeah, because I said, yeah,
Speaker 1: maybe I should get the they have women's that's a men's.
Speaker 1: I sent you the link to the men's but they
Speaker 1: have about women's stuff too, and yeah, yeah, I'm looking
Speaker 1: at it right now. Yeah this doesn't that just look
Speaker 1: like normal stuff? Yeah? Not bad looking? Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: it looks fine and and uh yeah, anyway, so there
Speaker 1: you go. They got all kinds of heated, heated crapola there.
Speaker 1: So a lot of vests, a lot of I'm not
Speaker 1: a big vest guy, they have a lot of vests there,
Speaker 1: which is which is really not my thing. We're asking
Speaker 1: for my phone number for Should I do it? Uh?
Speaker 1: I think you should give your Social Security number instead
Speaker 1: of your phone. I think that would be better my
Speaker 1: Twitter handle, Yeah, yeah, exactly, exactly. Alright. Anyway, so it's
Speaker 1: gonna be cold. The point is gonna be cold in
Speaker 1: Kansas City. The chiefs, as we said, one point favorite
Speaker 1: some of the numbers on this Cincinnati, Kansas City game
Speaker 1: Cincinnati thirteen and five this season against the spread Kansas
Speaker 1: City seven and eleven, which is good if you need
Speaker 1: a late night snack, but not if that's your record
Speaker 1: against the spread. Kansas City eleven losses against the spread.
Speaker 1: That is the most by any team entering the conference
Speaker 1: championship game in the Super Bowl era. And check this out.
Speaker 1: This is a fun fact you can impress your friends
Speaker 1: with this weekend. It is the worst against the spread
Speaker 1: percentage by any team entering the game since the nineteen
Speaker 1: nineties seven Green Bay Packers with Brett Farve a generation ago.
Speaker 1: So that's how far back you have to go to
Speaker 1: find a team that was worse for gamblers that got
Speaker 1: the championship weekend the Nackers. Now, none of the previous
Speaker 1: five teams that that have had cover percentages below four hundred,
Speaker 1: like the Chiefs entering the conference championship game have gone
Speaker 1: on to win the Super Bowl, and only the seven
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers have even reached the Super Bowls. So
Speaker 1: there's a random odd gambling fact for you that this
Speaker 1: has not happened. A team is bad against the gambling
Speaker 1: market as the Chiefs since the Brett Farve Packers twenty
Speaker 1: six years ago. That is a generation generations twenty five
Speaker 1: years and so that's how far back you have to go.
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, he was briefly a home underdog. He is
Speaker 1: not now. If this changes, remember that he's only been
Speaker 1: a home underdog one time in his career. He lost
Speaker 1: by four points as a two and apt point home
Speaker 1: dog against Buffalo in Week six. Entering this week, Patrick
Speaker 1: Mahomes has been favored in seven of home starts. That
Speaker 1: is the second highest percentage of any quarterback with at
Speaker 1: least twenty five starts in the Super Bowl era, obviously
Speaker 1: including the playoffs. The only one we actually used this
Speaker 1: on the radio show the other night, Danny, the only
Speaker 1: one that's been better percentage wise than Mahomes. You want
Speaker 1: to take a guess on who it is, Danny, want
Speaker 1: to throw a name out just to see if you
Speaker 1: can just throw something against the wall here percentage wise. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this guy was favored in sixties six of sixties seven
Speaker 1: starts at home. Oh wow, Uh, let's see Joe Montana.
Speaker 1: That's a great guest. Not Joe Montesse. Actually before Montana
Speaker 1: from the Dallas Cowboys. Roger stab Yeah, he was favored
Speaker 1: in sixties six of sixties seven starts. That is the
Speaker 1: highest winning percentage at home or the highest percentage of
Speaker 1: home starts favorite. I should say the didn't win all
Speaker 1: those games or else that boy. Kansas City has been
Speaker 1: favored in fourteen straight playoff games entering this week, and
Speaker 1: as of right now they are favorites, so that'd be
Speaker 1: fift straight. That is the longest streak of any team
Speaker 1: in this modern Super Bowl era that we're in right now.
Speaker 1: And mahomes the streak, it appears, will continue. He's never
Speaker 1: been a playoff underdog. He's the first and only quarterback
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl Ear to be favored in each
Speaker 1: of his first twelve playoffs starts. So I'm giving a
Speaker 1: lot of information here, um, but you know, take it
Speaker 1: with a gran of salt if you want. Kansas City
Speaker 1: when they played Cincinnati back in Week thirteen, the Chiefs
Speaker 1: were a two and a half point home or two
Speaker 1: and half point road favorite in that game when they
Speaker 1: met there. Now, Kansas City is a home they were
Speaker 1: at home down, not the only favorite by one. So
Speaker 1: this doesn't doesn't change that much. It's a three three
Speaker 1: and a half point swing. But if you look at
Speaker 1: the Bengals and what they've been doing for the gambling market.
Speaker 1: Cincinnati twenty one and five their last twenty six games,
Speaker 1: including the playoffs, and they have been stunningly good when
Speaker 1: not laying at least seven points, seven straight covers nineteen
Speaker 1: and one, the Bengals record their last twenty when not
Speaker 1: laying at least seven points, and Joe Burrow eighteen and
Speaker 1: one against the spread in that span, So there's there's
Speaker 1: a lot of crazy stats on this game. The Bengals
Speaker 1: have been a great road team. They've covered five straight
Speaker 1: road games heading into this matchup at Arrowhead on Sunday,
Speaker 1: and the pick is in. I know you're you're dying
Speaker 1: to find out. It's gonna change your life in amazing
Speaker 1: ways unless it doesn't. But I am taking the Cincinnati
Speaker 1: Bengals to get back to the Super Bowl back to
Speaker 1: back and belly to belly, and I'm gonna ride the
Speaker 1: healthy quarterback. That was the thing that pushed me over
Speaker 1: the edge with Cincinnati Patrick Mahomes high ankle sprain. I
Speaker 1: can't get past that. That is the point of demarcation.
Speaker 1: These teams are ridiculously close. I'm not picking the Bengals
Speaker 1: because Joe Burrow has never lost the Kansas City. I'm
Speaker 1: not doing that that these teams are separated by really
Speaker 1: a hair here, a hare there. But to me, the
Speaker 1: bum ankles the thing. You bet on the healthier quarterback,
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow, and you're right it out. Burro has also
Speaker 1: dominated against the blitz and that is a staple of
Speaker 1: the Kansas City defensive attack. They are known to blitz
Speaker 1: as much as anybody in the NFL, and Joe Burrow
Speaker 1: has been able to exploit that on a regular basis.
Speaker 1: If that does continue, now, I am betting on the
Speaker 1: Bengals in part because he's the healthier quarterback, but just
Speaker 1: for s and giggles, and I'll throw the curse at
Speaker 1: the benbino out. Do you know, even Danny I didn't know.
Speaker 1: I had to look this up. Who is the backup quarterback?
Speaker 1: God forbid? Joe Burrow gets hurt in the a f
Speaker 1: C Championship game. Uh Marcus tuliasa sopo. That is a
Speaker 1: wonderful guess. Unfortunately it is not correct. And also not
Speaker 1: David Klingler, which is another great name from the past.
Speaker 1: Uh oh, the great Sevans. Uh No, no, it is
Speaker 1: somebody named Brandon Allen, an old Arkansas razorback who he
Speaker 1: played for the Rams briefly, the great Brandon Alan, who
Speaker 1: has been let's see here, he's been waived once twice,
Speaker 1: three times. Uh, let's see here. He was a COVID
Speaker 1: quarterback for Cincinnati, has been waived three times, claimed off waivers.
Speaker 1: He's I mean, there's I'm looking at his transactions here
Speaker 1: and he's had a lot of moving around a lot
Speaker 1: of moving around there. But he is the backup quarterback
Speaker 1: for Cincinnati. So the high ankle sprain, though, I've seen
Speaker 1: this a lot over the years, and it's always been
Speaker 1: at least a month and a half injury, even if
Speaker 1: it's a minor injury. So the only way that this
Speaker 1: does not work out for Cincinnati is if the Chiefs
Speaker 1: are full of crap and they are blowing smoke here
Speaker 1: and it's not actually high ankle sprain. And I do
Speaker 1: realize that the Chiefs are gonna drug up Mahomes and
Speaker 1: he'll be on all kinds of painkillers and all kinds
Speaker 1: of gobbledegook and what your McCall it chemicals to get
Speaker 1: him through the game. Also, Kansas City, one of the
Speaker 1: reasons they have not been a great gambling team is
Speaker 1: they've typically played one good half and then one so
Speaker 1: so half. That usually does he in here, So I
Speaker 1: am gonna take the guys from the land of the
Speaker 1: Skyline Chili shout out, Justin in Cincinnati and the ben
Speaker 1: Gals back to back, Holy Boom er Ossias and Sam
Speaker 1: Wish Batman do the Ikey Shuffle. Bengals and the Chiefs.
Speaker 1: Twenty four will be your final What are your radio
Speaker 1: friends in Kansas City gonna think about that pick? I'm
Speaker 1: gonna be banned from my radio appearance, Danny, you might
Speaker 1: have to replace me every Thursday morning. I don't know
Speaker 1: if you can handle the paycheck on that, Danny, I
Speaker 1: don't know if you can handle that. I'm gonna flip
Speaker 1: the penny here. I figured there would have to be
Speaker 1: at least one agreement out of the two games. The
Speaker 1: penny also going with the Bengals. Okay, so it does
Speaker 1: come down to Philadelphia and San Francisco. That will be
Speaker 1: the deciding point as to how we are doing in
Speaker 1: week number three. Hello hello, hello uh some some fun facts.
Speaker 1: Got a couple of minutes left and so so some
Speaker 1: fun facts hitting in the championship weekend. Andy Reid, if
Speaker 1: the Chiefs do win, and I'm wrong and the penny
Speaker 1: is wrong. Andy Reid will become the ninth head coach
Speaker 1: in NFL history to appear in at least four Super Bowls.
Speaker 1: And if the Chiefs win on Sunday, read will pass
Speaker 1: Tom Landry by. I mean, these are Tom Landry's the
Speaker 1: name when we were kids, Danny, and this is like
Speaker 1: Tom Landry. You can't pass Tom Landry by. But if
Speaker 1: the Chiefs win, Andy Reid will be second in playoff
Speaker 1: wins by a head coach in NFL history. Only Bill
Speaker 1: Belichick has more wins than Andy Reid if he wins
Speaker 1: on Sunday. And to think, when I was doing local
Speaker 1: radio in l a back way back, I'm gonna date
Speaker 1: myself if I say when Andy Reid was an assistant
Speaker 1: with the Green Bay Packers and he got booked on
Speaker 1: the show and I had no idea who he was.
Speaker 1: He was like, he wasn't even a coordinator for the Packers,
Speaker 1: and Mike Holmgren was the coach in Green Bay, and
Speaker 1: the producer booked him and said, oh yeah, this guy
Speaker 1: is gonna be the coach in Philadelphi got hired in Philadelphia.
Speaker 1: Said okay, well, we're in l A. He's always an
Speaker 1: l A guy. I said, Okay, it's an l A guy.
Speaker 1: So we had Andy d We just talked about like
Speaker 1: Tommy's cheeseburgers and things like that, and we didn't even
Speaker 1: really talk about football. And now to think that that
Speaker 1: guy has become possibly the second winning his coach in
Speaker 1: playoff histories mind blowing to me. It's craziness. But what
Speaker 1: did he say? Do you remember what Andy Reid said
Speaker 1: about cheeseburgers in l A? Oh? Yeah, I know he was.
Speaker 1: He was goofing a round. Yeah, he mentioned Tommy's and
Speaker 1: you know, growing up in l A and going to
Speaker 1: high school and what it was like, and you know,
Speaker 1: he talked about coming back, and I I think he
Speaker 1: still has a house in Dana Point in Orange County. UM,
Speaker 1: so kind of in the area, far away but not
Speaker 1: too far. It was halfway between l A and San Diego.
Speaker 1: And so I think he still comes out to California
Speaker 1: in the off season for for a couple of months
Speaker 1: or so. Um. On the other side, Zach Taylor. If
Speaker 1: the Bengals win, he's gonna become the third head coach
Speaker 1: in NFL street to get to two Super Bowls within
Speaker 1: the first four seasons. The only other ones to do
Speaker 1: that are Mike Tomlin and Joe Gibbs about that the
Speaker 1: old hail to the Redskins coach, so you've got that working, um,
Speaker 1: and there's all kinds of other numbers, but I think
Speaker 1: get out caw hard. Was it for you to pick
Speaker 1: the Bengals in Chiefs which a lot of people are calling,
Speaker 1: and pick them? Yeah, Well, it basically is it's a
Speaker 1: one point game, so it's almost essentially it's a it's
Speaker 1: a pick him. Now that that was that was difficult,
Speaker 1: but not It's actually not as hard for me as
Speaker 1: the game because I don't think Mahomes is gonna be right.
Speaker 1: And if you've got my homes at like seventy five
Speaker 1: or seventy and you've got Burrow, I'm on the side
Speaker 1: of on the side of Burrow. So um. But the
Speaker 1: Philadelphia game because of brock Purty and he hasn't really
Speaker 1: played on the road. The only road games he played
Speaker 1: was against the Raiders and that was kind of a
Speaker 1: Niner home game, and then Seattle, which isn't particularly great,
Speaker 1: so he hasn't really played a lot of road games.
Speaker 1: So that that was kind of difficult, but um, that's
Speaker 1: that's it. Anything to promote Danny. You want to promote
Speaker 1: your book, your movie, your TV show, anything you want
Speaker 1: to promote their Well, it's Friday, so yeah, I'll be
Speaker 1: on with the Covino and Rich this afternoon having fun
Speaker 1: from two to four pm Pacific time. No, you should

Speaker 1: you want, but I give you my information. Good luck,
Speaker 1: and enjoy that Super Bowl, which will be a rematch
Speaker 1: of a couple of years ago. Forty Niners in chiefs.
