That puke color that the 14 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 3: Padre's rock. I've seen it too much here, Ben, And 15 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 3: it all came to a head when I was inside 16 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 3: the pch market, right. It was almost looked like when 17 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 3: you're at the airport and they have like that city's teams, 18 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:14,040 Speaker 3: but it's generic gear, yeah, and it's overpriced, and it 19 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:18,120 Speaker 3: was all this put colored padre stuff. I walked over 20 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 3: and made the whole family laugh because I knocked some 21 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 3: of it on the floor and there was a machato 22 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:29,399 Speaker 3: baby jersey for like a toddler. Switched it into the 23 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:30,399 Speaker 3: ground with my foot. 24 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,280 Speaker 1: But Shato often acts like a toddler, so maybe that's 25 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 1: his actual jersey. That could be his actual Yeah. Oh man, 26 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 1: all right, we'll get to the mail bag in a minute, 27 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 1: but I did want to want to start with the 28 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 1: phrase of the week. Are you ready for the phrase 29 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: of the week? 30 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 3: A special mail bag edition of phrase. 31 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 1: Of the Week. The phrase of the week this week 32 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:03,559 Speaker 1: is I've got it in the bag. It's in the bag. 33 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: What's in the back? I got it in the bag. Now, 34 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 1: most of us I would think, no, that if you 35 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 1: say I've got it in the bag, you mean that 36 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:15,240 Speaker 1: you've got it. You won. This is in you controlled it. 37 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 1: You're gonna win, right, and that's it. You've nailed it 38 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,359 Speaker 1: whatever it is, and it's going to be successful, whether 39 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 1: you've got a job, interview or you're doing a podcast 40 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 1: and you're gonna get a bunch of down loads. I've 41 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 1: got it in the bag. So the origin of this, 42 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 1: it is interesting to note, actually has baseball, believe it 43 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 1: or not. Baseball. The reason I thought this was interesting 44 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,919 Speaker 1: I stumbled upon this the other day and I thought 45 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 1: I wanted to share it with you, and here I 46 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 1: am on the podcast. So the origin of I've got 47 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 1: it in the bag. Now, there are other examples, but 48 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 1: the one that I think the one that stands out 49 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 1: most in my opinion of this idiom in this phrase, 50 00:02:56,120 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 1: and it's widely accepted as the modern usage of it. 51 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 1: You can thank the Evil Giants now not the San 52 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,959 Speaker 1: Francisco Giants. They're now the San Francisco Giants. But this 53 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 1: was so far back, over one hundred years ago. They 54 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,800 Speaker 1: were the New York Giants, the baseball team, and it 55 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 1: began as a superstition. So let's take the hot tub 56 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 1: time machine all the way back to the year nineteen sixteen. 57 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 1: My god, what a what a different world that is. 58 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 1: So nineteen sixteen, the Giants had a run of twenty 59 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 1: six consecutive wins almost an entire month. They won every 60 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: efing game, the New York Baseball Giants, and so a bag. 61 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 1: They had a bag filled with seventy two extra baseballs 62 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 1: and they would put that on the playing field at 63 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 1: the beginning of each game. This is back one hundred 64 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 1: something years ago, and these balls were used to replace 65 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 1: any that were hit into the seats or any that 66 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 1: became too dirty to use and all stuff. So the 67 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 1: Giants during this crazy winning stream, they were under the 68 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 1: impression that if they were in the lead during the 69 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 1: ninth the last inning, carrying the ball bag off the 70 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 1: field would ensure their win because, according to the team, 71 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 1: they had captured the game in the bag. So the 72 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 1: phrase I've got it in the bag was picked up 73 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,600 Speaker 1: by some sports writers in New York. It was repeated 74 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: in newspaper articles back when people read newspapers before the internet, 75 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 1: and the legend was formed at that point. And so 76 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 1: here we are we still use that phrase. Are we 77 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 1: allowed to use it as Dodger fans? Because it is 78 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 1: a giant phrase in the bag? It goes back to 79 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: the New York Giants? But did involved? 80 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 3: Yeah? I feel like you ruined that phrase for me. 81 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 3: Now can't say it anymore. It's taboo. How about that 82 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:52,839 Speaker 3: they only had seventy two baseballs? We've seen games they don't. 83 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 3: They use many more baseballs now than seventy two. What 84 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 3: would happen if they ran out of baseball's? Did they 85 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:00,839 Speaker 3: just ask people to throw the balls back? 86 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,160 Speaker 1: Because you could have certain guys foul balls off All 87 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 1: the time I was watching, I forget what game backed 88 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,840 Speaker 1: on Friday. I was watching the game during the afternoon 89 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,600 Speaker 1: and there was one at bat the guy fouled off 90 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 1: like seven or eight pitches, just one guy. So and 91 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,599 Speaker 1: then then you throw the ball out when it's scuffed up, 92 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 1: and so you're talking about one player one at back 93 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:25,599 Speaker 1: could be nine to ten baseballs. So but back then, 94 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,600 Speaker 1: that's it. Maybe they didn't foul balls off as much 95 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 1: back in the day. So let's get to the mail bag. 96 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 1: And that means, ohio al. 97 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:32,919 Speaker 3: It's. 98 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 1: Mail bag, all right, thank you very much, ohio al. 99 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,839 Speaker 1: And these are actual letters by actual listeners of the 100 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 1: show Danny that have taken time out to send to 101 00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:02,479 Speaker 1: send a messages correspondence via email Real fifth Hour at 102 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 1: gmail dot com, Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com 103 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 1: and put name and city, name and city or else 104 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 1: you will get nothing. 105 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:12,920 Speaker 3: Now. 106 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 1: For example, Max wrote in from Parts unknown because you 107 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 1: didn't say what city he's in, you dumb ass. Sorry Max, 108 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 1: But Max and I got a few other emails about 109 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 1: this that everyone's been asking me, what's going on with 110 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 1: Benny Versus the Penny the TV show? Will it be 111 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 1: picked up by the network for a third season? And 112 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,280 Speaker 1: the answer I can give you the answer right now. 113 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 1: The answer is, I don't know. We've passed one of 114 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 1: the deadlines. We've passed one of the deadlines where they 115 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 1: were supposed to decide whether or not to pick up 116 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:50,719 Speaker 1: the show or not, and they have. They have not 117 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 1: picked up the show. However, the good news is, as 118 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:55,720 Speaker 1: I was told, I was talking to Looney this week. 119 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 1: We were going back and forth and Looney pointed out 120 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 1: to me, they haven't canceled the show either, So we're 121 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 1: still waiting. We're hopeful, So think some good thoughts. 122 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:07,039 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not a no. 123 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not a no. And I did recall I 124 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 1: forgot Looney pointed this out last year they picked up 125 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 1: the show. It was past the deadline. It was past 126 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 1: the deadline and they picked up the show. So I 127 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 1: don't know what's gonna happen. I never thought we'd get 128 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 1: a second season. I would love to do a third season, 129 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 1: and we're waiting to hear back. I know the NFL 130 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 1: season begins in about sixty days or so, right around 131 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 1: sixty days from now opening weekend of the NFL. In fact, 132 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 1: teams will start reporting your training camp in like the 133 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 1: next week. Danny the Chargers, I believe are the first 134 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 1: team in training camp. So this is gonna happen like 135 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 1: real soon the NFL is gonna happen. But as far 136 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 1: as Max and the other people, I promise you I 137 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 1: will not hide this information. I know that Mike de Leprechaun, 138 00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 1: for example, who was just in studio, he's already got 139 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 1: a venue you planned for a meet and greet in 140 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 1: New England in Massachusetts. So we'll see what happens. I'm hopeful. 141 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 1: I'm on standby. I've kind of put everything on hold 142 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 1: as far as some travel plans for the summer, hoping 143 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 1: to do the TV show. So we'll see. But one 144 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 1: way or another, I will either they'll pick it up 145 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 1: and I'll be able to make plans, or they won't 146 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 1: pick it up and then I'll still be able to 147 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 1: make plans. So once they decide what they're going to do, 148 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 1: I will let you know. And that'll that'll be that 149 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 1: Tony the Bay area, right so, and says hey, bandon, 150 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 1: Danny g by the way, Now, Danny, Tony is the 151 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 1: guy that calls up does David vass jokes, And Vassay 152 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 1: actually was listening while I Tony called up to do 153 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:50,839 Speaker 1: a two balls joke about Vassay two balls to the face, 154 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,440 Speaker 1: I rotate nuts. How dare you? 155 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 3: Uh? 156 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,319 Speaker 1: He did that joke and Vassay heard it on the 157 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 1: air anyway, Tony, yeah, he was listening. Tony says, I 158 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,720 Speaker 1: have a weekly segment idea for the podcast. You take 159 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 1: a caller and you both do a pick and break 160 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:12,840 Speaker 1: the line down and no WNBA because schmucks like Steve 161 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:17,079 Speaker 1: will call in. He says. Now, one option on DraftKings 162 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 1: was the Chicago Bears under six and a half wins 163 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:25,600 Speaker 1: at plus two hundred. He said, lock it in. Fuck 164 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 1: it Tony the Bear says, where do you have the 165 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:34,440 Speaker 1: Raiders and Rams finishing? And then he says Bears, Bears, Bears, Bears. 166 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 1: He says, but it sounded like Tony said, Bears under 167 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,840 Speaker 1: six and a half wins, like you would bet under 168 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 1: six and a half at plus two hundred. I think 169 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,679 Speaker 1: what I know of Tony. He loves the Chicago Bears. 170 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 1: He hates the fact that the Broncos have the same 171 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,199 Speaker 1: colors as the Bears, for example, So I think he 172 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 1: would bet on the Bears over six and a half. 173 00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 1: But let's go now to the number one member of 174 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 1: the Raiding Nation, the Man, the myth legend. Danny g 175 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 1: You've got Tom Brady in ownership. You've got the oldest 176 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 1: coach in the NFL, Pete Carroll, very positive guy, Pete Carroll. 177 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 1: You've got Gino Smith at quarterback. So what's say you, Danny, 178 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:16,680 Speaker 1: two months out? 179 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 3: Leave out Ashton Genty? 180 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 1: All right, Ashton genty? So two months out? How optimistic 181 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 1: are you? 182 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 3: Cautiously optimistic? Because I've seen this song and dance before 183 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:33,959 Speaker 3: with coach Pierce, which was just last season and a 184 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 3: few games remaining in the season. Prior to that one, 185 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 3: players and everybody loved him and he was revered and 186 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 3: he was a locker room guy and a players coach 187 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 3: and all that. I've heard this before. I've seen this before. 188 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 3: I've seen this movie before. So I'm sorry if I 189 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 3: need to see it on the field. I need to 190 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 3: see real production on the field. I think the offense 191 00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,959 Speaker 3: will be okay. The defense, I'm worried because they lost 192 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 3: a lot of their good defensive pieces to free agency, 193 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 3: like Nate Hobbs. They lost a couple of key defensive players. 194 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 3: I am worried about that pick. 195 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 1: Then, Yeah, So as far as the wins, I I'm 196 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,719 Speaker 1: not obviously a Raider fan. I would say, I want 197 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 1: to get your thought, Danny. I think if you have Genos, 198 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 1: he's average. And you know I was optimistic, you know, 199 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,439 Speaker 1: I like Gardner Minshew. I really thought Gardner could do 200 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,319 Speaker 1: a good job. He unfortunately didn't play that well. Then 201 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:34,720 Speaker 1: he got benched and and all that. Like Gino, I 202 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 1: he get you somewhere in that seven, eight or nine 203 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:39,560 Speaker 1: win area. 204 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 3: I could see them getting to nine because he is 205 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:47,680 Speaker 3: throwing to You could consider brock Bauers top three tight 206 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,360 Speaker 3: end in the league already. He loves his outlet guys 207 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 3: and he likes play action. He plays his best when 208 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 3: he has a good running back. The Seahawks couldn't keep 209 00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 3: their running backs healthy. That affected him somewhat. On that team, 210 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,680 Speaker 3: I could see Geno Smith having just an above average 211 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 3: type season because of those weapons around him. And they 212 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,559 Speaker 3: have filled a couple of holes on that O line. 213 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:15,680 Speaker 3: The new center that they plugged in last year from Oregon. 214 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 3: That dude's a beast. I could see the O line 215 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 3: being just good enough to get Geno Smith to a 216 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 3: wild card game. But then it wouldn't surprise me if 217 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 3: they fell on their face in a game like that 218 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 3: because they don't have much depth whatsoever. 219 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:31,679 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the thing that kills you. It wears you 220 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:34,200 Speaker 1: down right. I mean that's the war of Attritionia. 221 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, any big injury to any of your starters when 222 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,720 Speaker 3: you're a team like that that lacks depth and you 223 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:41,960 Speaker 3: are dead in the water. 224 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 1: Well, it's one of those things. Yeah, It's one of 225 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,080 Speaker 1: my pet piece is all we stay healthy. No one 226 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 1: stays healthy in any sport, daty, right, is there any 227 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 1: sport where has there ever been a team that went 228 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 1: to training camp and then made it through the season 229 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:57,840 Speaker 1: without any major injuries. It doesn't happen. 230 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 3: This is where I give your team, the Rams and 231 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 3: teams like them credit where they are great in the draft, 232 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,200 Speaker 3: they're great in free agency, and it seems like you 233 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,680 Speaker 3: always have another guy who steps up. You could have 234 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 3: some no names on defense and they still all play 235 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 3: as one and get the job done. I am jealous 236 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 3: of that because the Raiders haven't had depth like that 237 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 3: in years. 238 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 1: Well, Tony, the Bay Area. As far as the Rams 239 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 1: and my outlook for the Rams, I am. I guess 240 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 1: I share Danny's cautious optimism for the Rams. I do 241 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,440 Speaker 1: go back to last year, which is obviously a different team, 242 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 1: and the fact that the Rams were the only team 243 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 1: that really gave the Eagles a game in the playoffs, right, 244 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:43,079 Speaker 1: they gave up some big runs to Barkley, but they 245 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:46,200 Speaker 1: had a shot. They Rams had the ball, matriculating the 246 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 1: ball down the field, late fourth quarter, bad weather game 247 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:54,079 Speaker 1: in Philadelphia, cold and all that, and they had a shot. 248 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 1: They had a shot to win that game at the 249 00:13:57,880 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 1: very end. And so that gives you some optimism. And 250 00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:03,200 Speaker 1: it's it's the pendulum shifting for the Rams this year, 251 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 1: where now it is really all about not Sean mcvay's offense. 252 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 1: It's about Jared Vers, that stud linebacker, and the Ram 253 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 1: defense they had like this coming of age the second 254 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,200 Speaker 1: half of last year for the Rams. They've added a 255 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 1: couple of guys to the defense. They got a defensive tackle, 256 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:24,280 Speaker 1: a noseguard from the Chargers. They got a linebacker from 257 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 1: Atlanta who they sprinkled into the defense. And you know, 258 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 1: the reason I'm not completely all in is because you've 259 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:37,400 Speaker 1: got Matthew Stafford, who is as old as dirt and 260 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,680 Speaker 1: he made it mostly through the season last year. I 261 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 1: just I don't trust Stafford to stay healthy they still 262 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 1: have Jimmy Garoppolo, which is not the worst thing in 263 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 1: the world. And I know when Stafford leaves the Rams, Danny, 264 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 1: They're just going to be like the Steelers. Whoever the 265 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 1: old quarterback that's a free agent at the end of 266 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 1: their careers, they're going to pick up and add that guy. 267 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,480 Speaker 1: Rogers ends up playing for the Rams after his one 268 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,800 Speaker 1: year in Pittsburgh. But anyway, listen, the Rams, they'll win. 269 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,120 Speaker 1: To me, the baseline is ten. They'll win at least 270 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:12,240 Speaker 1: ten games. The big sexy pickup was Devonte Adams late 271 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 1: of your Raiders. I'm not a huge DeVante Adams guy, 272 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:20,160 Speaker 1: but as a number two receiver, Puka Nakoula the clear 273 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 1: number one receiver. I think Davante Adams is a number 274 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 1: two receiver. Has he ever been a number two receiver anywhere? 275 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 1: I don't think so, right, and this is the first 276 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 1: time he'll have been a number two receivers, so he 277 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 1: should have some opportunities to make some big plays and 278 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 1: all that. I think the Rams will win. At least 279 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 1: they'll be worst is ten and seven. They should win eleven. 280 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 1: Eleven and six should be the Rams record, and they 281 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 1: should rule the roost. In the NFC West nine Ers 282 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,920 Speaker 1: will bounce back a little bit, but I expect the 283 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 1: Rams to win the division. That was way too much sports, 284 00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 1: by the way, Danny, I mean, I blame this is 285 00:15:58,880 --> 00:15:59,360 Speaker 1: not a sport. 286 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 3: He doesn't happen too often on the mailbag. 287 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, Alf, from the line at dairy Queen writes, 288 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 1: and he says, greetings and salutations, gentlemen. Now that we 289 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 1: are smack dab in the middle of summer and the 290 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:17,200 Speaker 1: baseball season, Alf writes, I couldn't help but harken back 291 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,520 Speaker 1: to the days of my youth for my question. Is 292 00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:25,960 Speaker 1: there anything better than a baseball helmet Sunday? None of 293 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 1: this hipster avocado asparagus ice cream, just some vanilla soft 294 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 1: served hot fudge and whip cream served in a random 295 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 1: baseball team's mini helmet. It's so, yeah, well whatever, but 296 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,400 Speaker 1: this is Alf. You're absolutely right. 297 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 3: Alf. 298 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 1: I remember getting that helmet, and I couldn't wait to 299 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 1: eat the ice cream, and then I went to the 300 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 1: I remember going to the drinking fountain and washing it off. 301 00:16:58,520 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 1: Danny getting all done. 302 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, that part was cool. And I remember looking under 303 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 3: seats because you hoped that people in the roads near 304 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:09,879 Speaker 3: you like just discarded their helmets and then I remember 305 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,239 Speaker 3: we stood at the water fountain at Dodger Stadium and 306 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,080 Speaker 3: washed them all off and took them all home. Yeah, 307 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:18,560 Speaker 3: that's awesome, cool memory. But the ice cream was too plain. 308 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:20,119 Speaker 3: I wanted toppings. 309 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 1: Well, Danny, this was back years ago. They didn't have topings. 310 00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,800 Speaker 1: Toppings had not been invented, Danny. Back then, they didn't 311 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 1: have it. 312 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:26,960 Speaker 3: That's a travesty. 313 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:31,680 Speaker 1: It's not right, man. I had Speaking of ice cream, 314 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,080 Speaker 1: I mentioned this on the air briefly, but I me 315 00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,359 Speaker 1: and the wife, we went out to get some ice cream, 316 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 1: actually with the kid Patrick before he went back.

That was 359 00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:58,240 Speaker 1: we had no sprinkles, no chocolate sauce, no caramel sauce. 360 00:19:58,280 --> 00:19:59,919 Speaker 1: We didn't have any of that stuff.

Benny. 362 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 3: We checked into this hotel for Saturday night going into Sunday, 363 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:11,120 Speaker 3: and our daughter said, there's no valet at this hotel. 364 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,080 Speaker 1: See I'm the opposite. I was like, you little shit, 365 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,320 Speaker 1: I get upset. Tell your daughter. When I go to 366 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:20,480 Speaker 1: the hotel with the wife and I see valet.

And the other thing is I pointed out before 372 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:33,399 Speaker 1: Denny and the valet, it's the equivalent of running the 373 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:38,720 Speaker 1: Boston Marathon, going you've gone twenty six miles, and then 374 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,240 Speaker 1: when you get to the point two part, you hand 375 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 1: the baton off to someone else to go through the 376 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 1: line and finish the race.

I don't get it. 378 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:50,159 Speaker 3: I think, by the way, really quick, I think she 379 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,720 Speaker 3: was referring to having a bell man because she likes 380 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:55,639 Speaker 3: when they wheel the cart out and put all the 381 00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 3: crap on the cart for you so that it doesn't 382 00:20:58,040 --> 00:20:59,880 Speaker 3: take an extra half hour to get into your room. 383 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, I know. 384 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,880 Speaker 3: Can you say spoiled?

So Kevin says, it means to 399 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 1: address someone in a familiar manner. I saw this happening 400 00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,880 Speaker 1: in school, where students would call their teachers by their 401 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:04,639 Speaker 1: nicknames or just by last names.

But 502 00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:12,440 Speaker 1: it's the first place you can legally bet on sports. 503 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:17,520 Speaker 1: So when I would go to Vegas, I would often 504 00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:20,040 Speaker 1: time it so I could get there. I get three 505 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:22,320 Speaker 1: thirty in the afternoon because the games on the West 506 00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:25,600 Speaker 1: Coast the East Coast game start at four o'clock our time, 507 00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:27,399 Speaker 1: so I would try to get in there around three 508 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:31,120 Speaker 1: thirty to get my bets in for the East Coast games. Loser, 509 00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,240 Speaker 1: I would stop, go to the bathroom, and then get 510 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:36,399 Speaker 1: back in the car and drive another forty five minutes 511 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,840 Speaker 1: into in Vegas. But they're they're moving it to this 512 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:42,320 Speaker 1: There's one other hotel and I forget the name of it. 513 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:45,440 Speaker 1: I guess that was closed and now they're reopening that hotel. 514 00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,880 Speaker 1: I don't know if they renovated it or not.

We're getting late here. 610 00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:34,960 Speaker 1: It's Sunday. We got stuff to do. Reggie in Detroit 611 00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,719 Speaker 1: writes and big fan of the show. He usually emails 612 00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:39,520 Speaker 1: us for the podcast. He says, hey Ben and Danny 613 00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:43,320 Speaker 1: g Hey Ben, you've been rotating producers and engineers for 614 00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:46,160 Speaker 1: a while now. How difficult has it been with all 615 00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:51,000 Speaker 1: the different people? Reggie, It's been fine. The good thing 616 00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:53,080 Speaker 1: is I do like ninety nine percent of the prep 617 00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:55,520 Speaker 1: for the show anyway, So it doesn't really I mean, 618 00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:58,640 Speaker 1: I love working with you know, whoever wants to show 619 00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:02,000 Speaker 1: up to work and all that.
