He 5 00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,520 Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the 6 00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:17,480 Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse. 7 00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:18,360 Speaker 1: Wow. 8 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:22,320 Speaker 2: The Clearinghouse of Hot takes break free for something special. 9 00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:25,520 Speaker 2: The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts. 10 00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:34,240 Speaker 3: Right now in the air, evering ware The Fifth Hour 11 00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:36,840 Speaker 3: with Me, Ben Mahler and Danny g Radio. 12 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:40,680 Speaker 1: He will return to this podcast on Saturday, but you're 13 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:44,440 Speaker 1: stuck with me alone today. Hopefully had a great week. 14 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:48,960 Speaker 1: We were very successful with the radio show. But this podcast, 15 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,199 Speaker 1: the Friday Podcast. We'll get to the meat of the 16 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 1: matter here in a minute. It is all about the 17 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 1: TV show. As again, this is a companion podcast. But 18 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 1: today is the twentieth day of September. Very important day 19 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 1: as today is National fried Rice Day. You probably didn't 20 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 1: think there was a day dedicated to fried rice, but 21 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 1: it is. This is a big holiday. Who doesn't like 22 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 1: fried rice? I've never met anyone that doesn't like fred rice. 23 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:23,039 Speaker 1: Fried Rice goes all the way back to like five 24 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 1: eighty nine, a d Chinese culture came up with fried rice, 25 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 1: but it really wasn't until Benny Hanna came around in 26 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 1: the nineteen sixties that the modern Western world of America 27 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 1: fried rice took off. So it's it's one of those 28 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 1: made up holidays. But it's also National Concussion Day. Now, 29 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 1: when I was a kid playing football and you had 30 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 1: a concussion, they said you had a headache. They said, oh, 31 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 1: you got a headache, you know, put some rip, some 32 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,560 Speaker 1: dirt on it, that kind of thing. So you've got that. 33 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 1: Also National string Cheese Day. Now. I don't know about you, 34 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 1: I don't know how old you are and all that stuff. 35 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 1: But in my world when I was a kid, the 36 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 1: guys at lunch that had the string cheese were cool 37 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:26,080 Speaker 1: and I very rarely got access to that. It was 38 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 1: like contraband. And there were two things I remember on 39 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:36,799 Speaker 1: the elementary school lunch circuit. String cheese, and then they 40 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 1: had these little crackers that were like orange crackers with 41 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:44,079 Speaker 1: peanut butter, and those were big, Like he had those, 42 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 1: you were next level. Also, chocolate milk, not just regular milk, 43 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 1: chocolate milk. My lunch is when I was a kid, 44 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 1: were a lot of tuna fish sandwich. I had peanut 45 00:02:56,120 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 1: butter and jelly. Now the tuna fish sandwich is related 46 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:04,920 Speaker 1: to me not liking seafood. I ate so much. To 47 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 1: my mom loved tunafish sandwiches up Turkey and tunafish sandwiches. 48 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,800 Speaker 1: But she's, oh, yeah, it's healthy, it's fish. God only 49 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 1: knows what kind of iron and other crap was in 50 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,960 Speaker 1: that fish, but in the tune it back in those days, 51 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 1: but eating them, the sandwiches growing up, and you know, 52 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 1: I had this little crappy metal lunch box. We had 53 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 1: like one little thing of ice. But it did not last. 54 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,240 Speaker 1: The amount of time I showed up at school like 55 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 1: eight in the morning, lunch was like twelve thirty And somehow, 56 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 1: in the span of those four four and a half hours, 57 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 1: the tuna fish sandwich during the warm parts of the 58 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 1: school year would turn to a kind of warm, mushy, 59 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 1: disgusting thing, and I ate it for a while, but 60 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: it was like, I'm at the point now, I'm like, 61 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 1: I eat seafood once a year. I will have beer 62 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: battered fish sticks and fries once a year. Sometimes I 63 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 1: don't even go once a year. Sometimes I go two 64 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 1: years without eating the fish. So there is that. But anyway, 65 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 1: it's National string Cheese Day. Celebrate appropriately. I think we 66 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,600 Speaker 1: know what to do to celebrate National string Cheese. I 67 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,279 Speaker 1: just eat some cheese. I just eat go out, eat 68 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:27,040 Speaker 1: some cheese. Knock yourself out. Now on today's podcast, we've 69 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 1: got calm Waters, propter rapt keys please, and a Banksy ripoff. 70 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 1: A Banksy ripoff. We'll get to that as well, and 71 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 1: we also we have time, we'll get to some foodie 72 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:44,039 Speaker 1: fun and I also have a phrase of the week. 73 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,839 Speaker 1: But let's start with this. It is now week three 74 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 1: of the NFL season, and another episode of the TV 75 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 1: show will be up today. Depending on where you live 76 00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,120 Speaker 1: and how you access the show, it might already be 77 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,040 Speaker 1: available by the time you hear this podcast. We put 78 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 1: this podcast up in the morning hours on the West Coast, 79 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:10,479 Speaker 1: but it's likely midday on the East Coast by the 80 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 1: time this podcast gets up here on Friday, because I 81 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,920 Speaker 1: did the overnight show last night, and hopefully you heard that, 82 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,280 Speaker 1: or you'll go back and hear the podcast. And then 83 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,840 Speaker 1: then I just kind of hang out for a few hours, 84 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,279 Speaker 1: have some downtime, and take care of some stuff, some 85 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 1: notes in the studio, and then eventually go back into 86 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:33,599 Speaker 1: the studio and here we are Abracadabra hocus Pocus, the 87 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:37,279 Speaker 1: fifth hour Friday Podcast. As Mike Tomlin would say, you 88 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 1: probably don't want to know how we make the hot Talks, 89 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:45,279 Speaker 1: but the comm waters let's start with that. So this 90 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 1: week no real hiccups. Mentioned last week on this podcast 91 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,039 Speaker 1: the after Show. I guess this case it would be 92 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:58,040 Speaker 1: the before show podcast. I said last week the after Show, 93 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,480 Speaker 1: But this podcast goes up before the show The Betty 94 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,119 Speaker 1: Versus the Petty Show starts running. So it's a different 95 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:07,600 Speaker 1: kind of subgenre. But we do break down every episode 96 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 1: and we have an exclusive behind the scenes peak at 97 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,839 Speaker 1: what's going on with the making of the TV show 98 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: shaking up the Idiot Box the boob Tube television. So 99 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,919 Speaker 1: it's week three of the NFL as mentioned, and the 100 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,239 Speaker 1: way we start getting the show ready now it's pretty 101 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 1: much every day there's something for the show leading into 102 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 1: the recording of the show. Now the game's always played, 103 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:39,600 Speaker 1: most of them on Sunday, and then there's a Monday 104 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 1: night game and just kind of let you behind the 105 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 1: scenes here and show you what I'm doing to get 106 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 1: ready for the following week. By the way, all of 107 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 1: this work has not exactly paid off yet. All of 108 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,360 Speaker 1: this work has not paid off, just so we reach 109 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 1: an understanding here. Despite the amount of time that goes 110 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 1: into this, yet still some issues with the picks and 111 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 1: so you'll hear about that on the TV show today. 112 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 1: The good news is the Penny is also writing the 113 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 1: Vomit comet. So Sunday you're actually watching the games. I'll 114 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 1: be at a game this weekend. I'll beat the RAM 115 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 1: forty nine er game, so I'll be hanging out there, 116 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 1: but I'll be watching in the press box. I'll be 117 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 1: watching some other West Coast games, and I'll get there 118 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 1: early and watch the East Coast game. So I'll be 119 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 1: busy and not that it matters, but I'll be busy 120 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 1: and so watching all the games. But here's the thing. 121 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 1: So the way the preparation goes, they have the look aheadline, 122 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 1: which is a big tool that if you're not using 123 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 1: in your own handicapping, you should be using. Like if 124 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 1: you're kind of new at this and you're like, I 125 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 1: don't know, is that I don't have no idea. It's 126 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 1: really a simple concept. So the sports books, they already 127 00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 1: have the numbers out for week four, it's called the 128 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 1: look aheadline, and the way it works the there's certain 129 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 1: websites you can find it on the internet, but for example, 130 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 1: not this week, but next week. The week kicks off 131 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 1: with the Cowboys and the Giants. That's the Thursday game. 132 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 1: So you can look up the point spread as of 133 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 1: before Week three and all the other matchups. For example, 134 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 1: in week four, the primetime game on Sunday Night is 135 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 1: Buffalo and Baltimore. You also have two Monday night games 136 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 1: in Week four Titans and Dolphins, Lions and Seahawks. So 137 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 1: it's gonna be another busy, busy week in the mL. 138 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 1: But there are lines out on all these games, and 139 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,319 Speaker 1: so what you look for is some kind of overreaction. 140 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,559 Speaker 1: You look at the lines, you file them away, and 141 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 1: then we play the games on Sunday and Monday, and 142 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 1: then they update the lines. So you look at the 143 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 1: numbers and you're like, you just look for abnormalities, is 144 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 1: what you're looking for. You're like, for example, I'm trying 145 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 1: to think of something that would stand out here in 146 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:12,959 Speaker 1: Week three, there is one that really stands out, the 147 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 1: Saints Eagles game. The Eagles on the look aheadline were 148 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 1: two and a half point favorites on the road in 149 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 1: New Orleans, and then they went out and they had 150 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 1: a clunker lost late against the team from Atlanta with 151 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins, so they adjusted the line. Plus the Saints 152 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,960 Speaker 1: kicked the snot out of the Dallas Cowboys, so the 153 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 1: look aheadline was Philly minus two and a half. But 154 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 1: they have adjusted the line five points. As of this 155 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 1: recording of the Fifth Hour podcast, the updated line I 156 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,800 Speaker 1: have is New Orleans favored by two and a half 157 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:51,599 Speaker 1: at home. So that is a major line shift of 158 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,440 Speaker 1: five points. Like a lot of these games will move 159 00:09:54,760 --> 00:10:00,439 Speaker 1: half a point or a point, but to move that, 160 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 1: that's a rather drastic, rather drastic turn of events. And 161 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:09,080 Speaker 1: there's nothing else on the board this weekend that is 162 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 1: that dramatic. We've had some one point moves. We've had 163 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 1: some other games like the Lions was a two point move. 164 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:19,720 Speaker 1: The Lions got beat by Tampa Bay at home. They 165 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 1: can't stop the passing game. They have a very weird 166 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 1: defense because Aiden Hutchinson is an absolute monster up front, 167 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:36,119 Speaker 1: and yet the secondary for the Lions has been absolutely gouged. 168 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 1: We'll talk about that on today's episode of Benny Versus 169 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:41,920 Speaker 1: the Penny and so the Cardinals, who don't have a 170 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 1: particularly great team, but they can move the ball through 171 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 1: the air with Marvin Harrison Junior the stud wide receiver. 172 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:53,080 Speaker 1: So that game moved a couple of points. Other than that, 173 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 1: I don't see any anything major. I did see a 174 00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 1: look ahead line where the Raiders were going to be 175 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:04,319 Speaker 1: favored by a fair amount over the Panthers. That line 176 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 1: opened at four and a half, but that was after 177 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:10,119 Speaker 1: the news that came down that they were changing quarterbacks. 178 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,079 Speaker 1: Is they didn't have a quarterback. They were the headless 179 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 1: Panthers of Carolina. So those are some of the things 180 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 1: we look for. The way it works during the week, 181 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 1: usually Sunday night, I kind of go over the matchup 182 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 1: card for the following week, and I don't write in 183 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 1: pen I pencil in what I like, and generally I'm 184 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 1: always with the underdogs. But then I'm looking to where 185 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 1: the value is the projected value with the teams that 186 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:44,960 Speaker 1: are favored, Like I'm missing something, is this something that 187 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 1: I'm not seeing? And then in addition to that, you're 188 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 1: monitoring where the money is coming in on you're monitoring 189 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:56,559 Speaker 1: the public money, which is the tickets that are bet 190 00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 1: the volume. And then you're looking at the amount of money, 191 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,720 Speaker 1: which is often referred to as the sharp money because 192 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 1: the money is the sharp thing, and you're looking for 193 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:09,560 Speaker 1: abnormalities in that where the wise guys are on one 194 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:15,679 Speaker 1: team and the public is on another. And one of 195 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 1: those examples would be this weekend, the Bears and the Colts. 196 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 1: So the wise guys it's pretty even, but there's a 197 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:27,960 Speaker 1: slight edge with the Sharps taking the Chicago Bears, and 198 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:32,320 Speaker 1: the Bears are a one point dog at Indianapolis. The public, though, 199 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,959 Speaker 1: it's over sixty percent in favor of the Colts, so 200 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:41,720 Speaker 1: the public is in favor of Indianapolis, who cannot stop 201 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 1: cannot stop the run at all, and Anthony Richardson is 202 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:51,440 Speaker 1: struggling to complete He's under fifty percent of his passes 203 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,720 Speaker 1: at this particular point. Anything else where, it's really obvious 204 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,840 Speaker 1: a lot of the games the public and the wise 205 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:04,560 Speaker 1: gamblers agree, so there's not a lot of those. Usually 206 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 1: there's a couple a week. Then you also look for 207 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:11,560 Speaker 1: the lopsided game where it's just completely upsided. For example, 208 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:16,160 Speaker 1: the game that is totally out of sorts this weekend 209 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 1: is not until Monday, and there's two games on Monday Night, 210 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 1: but the Commanders and the Bengals on that Monday Night game, 211 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:27,440 Speaker 1: Monday Night card. Here in week three, the Bengals coming 212 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 1: off a close loss against Kansas City, and you look 213 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 1: at that as a ninety over ninety percent the information 214 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 1: that we have here, over ninety percent of the sharp 215 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 1: money and then the tickets is in favor of the 216 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:46,839 Speaker 1: Bengals at seven and a half, that's a big number. 217 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:51,600 Speaker 1: Washington is a terrible football team, but they can move 218 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 1: the ball a little bit. The problem is they have 219 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 1: very long, time consuming drives and is that a letdown 220 00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,120 Speaker 1: spot for the Bengals. And a lot of this stuff 221 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 1: we're going to cover on Benny Versus depending. We don't 222 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 1: get to every game. It's only a half hour TV show. 223 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 1: It's only a half hour TV show, so we can't 224 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 1: get to everything. But that's how it works. And so 225 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 1: I look at all that stuff, and then Tuesday is 226 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 1: really a day where I spend a lot of my 227 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 1: time looking at trends and angles. Then Wednesday the injury report. 228 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 1: First injury report comes out, but you're also monitoring the 229 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 1: reports from the different news sites, the reporters who are 230 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,960 Speaker 1: reporting on guys missing practice or guys that are dinged 231 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 1: up that are not expected to play because a lot 232 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 1: of coaches news conferences are Monday, and then you know, 233 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:44,520 Speaker 1: Tuesday usually a day off, Monday, Tuesday, whatever one of 234 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 1: those days is off, and so for the players. But 235 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 1: usually Wednesday the injury report comes out and you kind 236 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 1: of look at that, and then Wednesday is the day 237 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 1: that the show is put together with Viny the producer 238 00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 1: in Boston, and John and the guys, and so I 239 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 1: spend a good amount of the morning after the show. 240 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 1: I put everything together and mostly email correspondence these days 241 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 1: and text messaging and things like that, and so we'll 242 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 1: I'll send over everything that I have, I'll send over 243 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:19,200 Speaker 1: my picks, and then I don't know what the penny's picking. 244 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:23,360 Speaker 1: I go into it blind and then we find out. Obviously, 245 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:27,120 Speaker 1: we do the show on Thursday and we find out 246 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 1: what's going on. So we had a relatively calm week, 247 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 1: calm waters on the show, which was good and it's 248 00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:37,880 Speaker 1: pretty cool. It was a flipping good time. We had 249 00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:42,520 Speaker 1: Tom Looney. There were a couple of incidents with the prompter. 250 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 1: We call Looney the prompter rompter cause Looney kind of 251 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 1: like Resident Trump from back in the day where you 252 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 1: heard stories where President Trump would be when he was 253 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,280 Speaker 1: doing speeches, he would have everything written out in the 254 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 1: prompter and then just let it rip right, just improv 255 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 1: and add the stuff. And Looney does the same thing. 256 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,760 Speaker 1: Like Looney will do the same same deal, or like 257 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,560 Speaker 1: he has copy written for him, but then he'll add on. 258 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 1: You know, he'll try to touch up his own work. 259 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 1: And sometimes that works and sometimes it doesn't. I would 260 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:27,320 Speaker 1: say the person that has it the most difficult is 261 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:31,400 Speaker 1: the guy at NBC Sports Boston who has to keep 262 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:36,280 Speaker 1: the prompter going and know when to pose it because 263 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 1: of cause of Looney. Yeah, that's not an easy job. 264 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 1: I don't I don't have a prompter on my side. 265 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 1: I am ownnatural, which is a lot of memory, trying 266 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 1: to remember everything, and I often forget a lot of 267 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 1: the things that I wanted to get on the show. 268 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,080 Speaker 1: And you know that going it's kind of like a 269 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:58,480 Speaker 1: radio show, and most of the stuff that you prepared 270 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 1: doesn't actually ever make the show, whether it's radio or TV, 271 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:04,920 Speaker 1: especially the TV show, because it's only half an hour 272 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 1: and we have to move. We have to keep the 273 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,360 Speaker 1: show moving, the train must keep moving and all that 274 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:14,119 Speaker 1: and so that's part of the deal as well. But 275 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:18,639 Speaker 1: Looney is the prompter rapter, and it reminds me of 276 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:21,399 Speaker 1: absolutely not going to compare it to this, but one 277 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 1: of the great stories I ever heard about someone who 278 00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:26,400 Speaker 1: just ad libbed it and Looney does not add libit, 279 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:32,119 Speaker 1: but had a speech was Martin Luther King. One of 280 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 1: the great speeches in American history, the I have a 281 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 1: Dream speech, which I think most of that now has tried. 282 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 1: The new wave is to try to debunk all of 283 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:46,200 Speaker 1: those things that Martin Luther King had said. Right, we're 284 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:49,400 Speaker 1: in a period of time. That's a third rile on mine, 285 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:53,560 Speaker 1: that's a third riyal, what are you doing? But it 286 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 1: seems like a lot of stuff that's been going on 287 00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,520 Speaker 1: in the last couple years kind of goes against that speech. 288 00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 1: But anyway, he gave the speech in Washington, DC, and 289 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,200 Speaker 1: famous speech, you know, I have a dream and all 290 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:15,160 Speaker 1: that and legendary, and supposedly he did not he had 291 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:19,200 Speaker 1: the speech copied, but he just he had lived it. 292 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 1: And then the famous story was he was walking off 293 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,720 Speaker 1: the stage and he gave the I have a Dream 294 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 1: speech to this young guy who was working security at 295 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:35,040 Speaker 1: this big event in Washington, d C. And it was 296 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:38,520 Speaker 1: somebody that turned out to be a college basketball player 297 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:45,600 Speaker 1: and a coach, and George Raveling was the guy's name, 298 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 1: And when I was a kid, he was a coach 299 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 1: and had successful career in basketball, and he happened to 300 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 1: have a copy. Last I checked, I haven't heard anything new. 301 00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,239 Speaker 1: I don't know if he sold it. I don't even 302 00:18:58,240 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 1: know if he's still around. He was old years ago. 303 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 1: But George Rattling, I think he's still around. Last I heard, 304 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:04,520 Speaker 1: he was still around. But he had a copy of that. 305 00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 1: But Martin Luther King did not actually use the speech, 306 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 1: like just he just let it rip and gave it 307 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 1: to the security guys here. I don't need that. So 308 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 1: that's the way that went. I mentioned Calm Waters on 309 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:23,080 Speaker 1: the TV show. There was one incident that took place 310 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 1: post TV show where we had keys please, and so 311 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:33,919 Speaker 1: we're packing up our stuff. We have that moment where 312 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 1: you feel like, man, this is really cool. Another show, 313 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,880 Speaker 1: The Baby's to Bed. We finished the show. Now it's 314 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,120 Speaker 1: the time for them to edit it and they've got 315 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:47,480 Speaker 1: to put it together and send it out on satellites 316 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:49,160 Speaker 1: or whatever they use to send the show out. Probably 317 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 1: all internet base now, so like, oh man, this is awesome, 318 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:55,399 Speaker 1: right the show, the show is done, our work for 319 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 1: the week is done. I'm then like okay. So then 320 00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 1: I'm processing everything. I'm like okay. So I got a 321 00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:06,160 Speaker 1: long drive in traffic, rush hour traffic to get back 322 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 1: to the Malor mansion. I've been up for a very 323 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 1: long time, so I have to sleep. So I'm gonna 324 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,879 Speaker 1: get maybe three hours of sleep if I'm lucky. And 325 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:17,399 Speaker 1: then I got to get up because I got to 326 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,600 Speaker 1: get some stuff done for the radio show. And then 327 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,200 Speaker 1: I got to watch the game Thursday night NFL game 328 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:23,840 Speaker 1: and all that stuff. I got to try to probably 329 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 1: eat something somewhere in there too, So I got all that. 330 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,919 Speaker 1: But on our way out when I'm I'm not taking 331 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:33,040 Speaker 1: off my church my temple clothes, but I'm on our 332 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:37,240 Speaker 1: way out. What we did is, you know, we say 333 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:39,440 Speaker 1: goodbye to everybody and all that. We have a little 334 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:42,600 Speaker 1: post me and Looney have We have the table read 335 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,520 Speaker 1: before the show, and then we have a post show 336 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:49,960 Speaker 1: kind of wrap up. We bull show each other and 337 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,919 Speaker 1: talk about what we liked or we didn't like, that 338 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 1: kind of thing. So you know, we're doing that, and 339 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,479 Speaker 1: then we're getting ready to leave the studio there at 340 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 1: Universal Studios and to go to the park. I think 341 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,399 Speaker 1: it's the appen in Costello Parking Lot. I believe, heyway whatever. 342 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 1: So we're getting ready to walk out of there, and 343 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 1: Looney's in a tizzy and he's like, keys place, he 344 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:15,480 Speaker 1: can't find his keys? So how do you lose your key? 345 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,720 Speaker 1: I mean, what are you doing? So he's scrambling around, 346 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:21,639 Speaker 1: he's running around like a banshee, trying to find find 347 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:27,600 Speaker 1: his keys, like the Tasmanian devil. And eventually he retraced 348 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:31,440 Speaker 1: the steps and he did find the keys. And as 349 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 1: always we always like to say, the keys in the 350 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,880 Speaker 1: last place he looked, the keys in the last place 351 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:38,800 Speaker 1: he looks, because they're always in the last place you look. 352 00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:44,320 Speaker 1: Because he stopped looking after that, right all right now, 353 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:49,679 Speaker 1: the horror Man's or the blind Man's Banksy when you 354 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 1: watch today's episode of the TV show, and even our 355 00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,080 Speaker 1: blind listeners will be able to see this, So blind 356 00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:01,960 Speaker 1: Emmied blind Scott in Boston, all you guys, you'll be 357 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,160 Speaker 1: able to see this. So the shirt that Looney wore, 358 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 1: he had a different shirt that he was gonna wear, 359 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 1: but it didn't show up on the camera because we're 360 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 1: really shot from the waist up, and not even the 361 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:15,720 Speaker 1: waist up, it's really like the middle of our chest up. 362 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:19,960 Speaker 1: That's all you see on camera. So Looney, he brought 363 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 1: the shirt and he didn't like it because it didn't 364 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,119 Speaker 1: show enough of the shirt on camera. So he had 365 00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 1: a backup shirt. But the backup shirt looked like it 366 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:37,639 Speaker 1: was a rip off Banksy shirt, like street art, like 367 00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:44,440 Speaker 1: somebody had taken a can of spray paint and sprayed 368 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:49,959 Speaker 1: Looney shirt with like different random colors. It was very bizarre, 369 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:54,680 Speaker 1: and yeah, you got to see it to believe it, 370 00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:58,320 Speaker 1: but trust me, it's like it's like a white shirt, 371 00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:00,480 Speaker 1: but it looks and I don't know if it will 372 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:03,560 Speaker 1: show up on camera like this, but seeing Looney on 373 00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:06,360 Speaker 1: a table read and then seeing him, you know, obviously 374 00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:10,200 Speaker 1: on camera on my end in the in the box 375 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,480 Speaker 1: that they have the feed, it was like, dude, what 376 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:17,480 Speaker 1: are you doing?

Time now for the phrase of the week, 447 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,240 Speaker 1: and to phrase the week. On this Friday, the twentieth 448 00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:17,720 Speaker 1: of September is Luck of the Irish. Now it's say 449 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:23,760 Speaker 1: college football weekend and tomorrow, tomorrow, I will be watching 450 00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:26,800 Speaker 1: college football. Now I am accused by some of not 451 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:29,400 Speaker 1: being into the college football game because we don't talk 452 00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:32,679 Speaker 1: about it much on the radio show. But that's because 453 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:35,399 Speaker 1: of when we're on. That's because of when we're on. 454 00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 1: So I do watch a fair amount on Saturday afternoon, 455 00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 1: and I really skim the games. I skim the games. Now. 456 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:48,920 Speaker 1: Notre Dame will be playing tomorrow at three point thirty 457 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:54,840 Speaker 1: eastern on and B see. They will be taking on Miami, 458 00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:58,120 Speaker 1: but not that Miami, Miami of Ohio, which I think 459 00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:01,120 Speaker 1: is where Ben Roethlisberger went, if I remember anyway, Notre 460 00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:03,840 Speaker 1: Dame is a twenty eight point favorite in that game. 461 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,840 Speaker 1: They open at twenty six, twenty eight point favorite, which 462 00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:10,640 Speaker 1: is rather shocking now, I considering that they lost to 463 00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:14,400 Speaker 1: a school that they normally Northern Illinois, that you just 464 00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,360 Speaker 1: assumed they would win by a gazillion. So would you 465 00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:21,560 Speaker 1: take Notre Dame and the points or would you go 466 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:25,000 Speaker 1: the other direction? I'm looking at the money here. The 467 00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:28,000 Speaker 1: public is loading up on Notre Dame. The wise guys, 468 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,959 Speaker 1: it's a little more even a little more even on 469 00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:34,600 Speaker 1: that if you look at the gambling numbers, and also 470 00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:35,880 Speaker 1: the other game I want to keep an eye on, 471 00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,880 Speaker 1: which is I think at the same time UCLA and LSU, 472 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:41,880 Speaker 1: just because UCLA will likely lose this game by four 473 00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:45,760 Speaker 1: or five touchdowns, and then Brian Finley numbnuts has to 474 00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:49,080 Speaker 1: do the postgame talk show and say it's not that bad. 475 00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:51,000 Speaker 1: So I look forward to that. Now, as far as 476 00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:54,280 Speaker 1: the Notre Dame things concerned, that ties into the phrames 477 00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:56,720 Speaker 1: of the week, which is luck of the Irish. Now 478 00:29:56,920 --> 00:30:01,760 Speaker 1: is the phrase luck of the Irish about Notre Dame? No, No, 479 00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 1: it is not. Does it originate in Ireland. Well not really, 480 00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:10,440 Speaker 1: not really, does it come from sports? No, what if 481 00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:15,120 Speaker 1: I told you that it comes from gambling, that luck 482 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,480 Speaker 1: of the Irish comes from gambling. But it was also 483 00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:23,240 Speaker 1: a derogatory term that was used in the early days. 484 00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:26,960 Speaker 1: I say early days for me, it's the early days 485 00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:32,680 Speaker 1: of America, nineteenth century mining, going down the Oregon Trail 486 00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:36,000 Speaker 1: heading to the West. The phrase is believed to have 487 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:40,280 Speaker 1: originated during the American gold Rush, the runout to California, 488 00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:45,200 Speaker 1: where things like Denhim Jeans and the one Armed bandit 489 00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:49,200 Speaker 1: the slot machine were invented because of the gold rush. 490 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:53,560 Speaker 1: But the American gold Rush, many of the most successful 491 00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:58,880 Speaker 1: miners were Irishmen or Irish Americans that had found their 492 00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,800 Speaker 1: wealth and they just knew where to look for gold, 493 00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:04,400 Speaker 1: and they found a lot of it. And the phrase 494 00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:08,960 Speaker 1: was used to describe the miners' success as being due 495 00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:12,920 Speaker 1: to a lack of skill. But and it didn't work hard, No, No, 496 00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:14,640 Speaker 1: they just had the luck of the Irish. Right, there 497 00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,880 Speaker 1: was the luck of the Irish, and the implication rather obvious, 498 00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:19,440 Speaker 1: even for those of you in the back of the room, 499 00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:23,600 Speaker 1: that the Irish were only able to succeed through luck. 500 00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:26,040 Speaker 1: Now there is a tie in if you go all 501 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:30,920 Speaker 1: the way back to like Celtic mythology, the tie into 502 00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:34,320 Speaker 1: the Leprechaun, the Irish leprechaun, the small green man who 503 00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:37,360 Speaker 1: lives in Boston and is known as Lucky little Leprechaun 504 00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:41,479 Speaker 1: and calls our radio show and would supposedly guard a 505 00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:45,239 Speaker 1: pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. And 506 00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:48,000 Speaker 1: so the leprechaun is considered lucky. But the phrase luck 507 00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:50,720 Speaker 1: of the Irish goes back again to the gold rush. 508 00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:54,880 Speaker 1: That is the phrase of the week, and that'll put 509 00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:58,640 Speaker 1: the end of this podcast.
