<v Speaker 1>Kubbooms.

0:00:02.279 --> 0:00:05.400
<v Speaker 2>If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes

0:00:05.440 --> 0:00:09.160
<v Speaker 2>a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants

0:00:09.200 --> 0:00:12.480
<v Speaker 2>of the old Republic, a sol fashion of fairness. He

0:00:12.600 --> 0:00:15.520
<v Speaker 2>treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the

0:00:15.640 --> 0:00:17.480
<v Speaker 2>rich pill poppers in the penthouse.

0:00:18.079 --> 0:00:18.360
<v Speaker 1>Wow.

0:00:18.600 --> 0:00:22.320

<v Speaker 2>The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts.

0:00:25.200 --> 0:00:34.240
<v Speaker 3>Right now in the air, evering ware The Fifth Hour

0:00:34.320 --> 0:00:36.840
<v Speaker 3>with Me, Ben Mahler and Danny g Radio.

0:00:36.960 --> 0:00:40.680
<v Speaker 1>He will return to this podcast on Saturday, but you're

0:00:40.680 --> 0:00:44.440
<v Speaker 1>stuck with me alone today. Hopefully had a great week.

0:00:44.520 --> 0:00:48.960
<v Speaker 1>We were very successful with the radio show. But this podcast,

0:00:49.000 --> 0:00:51.199
<v Speaker 1>the Friday Podcast. We'll get to the meat of the

0:00:51.360 --> 0:00:53.760
<v Speaker 1>matter here in a minute. It is all about the

0:00:53.800 --> 0:00:58.160
<v Speaker 1>TV show. As again, this is a companion podcast. But

0:00:58.240 --> 0:01:03.080
<v Speaker 1>today is the twentieth day of September. Very important day

0:01:03.840 --> 0:01:09.800
<v Speaker 1>as today is National fried Rice Day. You probably didn't

0:01:09.880 --> 0:01:13.080
<v Speaker 1>think there was a day dedicated to fried rice, but

0:01:13.200 --> 0:01:16.280
<v Speaker 1>it is. This is a big holiday. Who doesn't like

0:01:16.360 --> 0:01:18.880
<v Speaker 1>fried rice? I've never met anyone that doesn't like fred rice.

0:01:19.080 --> 0:01:23.039
<v Speaker 1>Fried Rice goes all the way back to like five

0:01:23.400 --> 0:01:30.280
<v Speaker 1>eighty nine, a d Chinese culture came up with fried rice,

0:01:30.880 --> 0:01:34.920
<v Speaker 1>but it really wasn't until Benny Hanna came around in

0:01:34.959 --> 0:01:41.600
<v Speaker 1>the nineteen sixties that the modern Western world of America

0:01:42.200 --> 0:01:46.280
<v Speaker 1>fried rice took off. So it's it's one of those

0:01:46.920 --> 0:01:51.160
<v Speaker 1>made up holidays. But it's also National Concussion Day. Now,

0:01:51.240 --> 0:01:55.960
<v Speaker 1>when I was a kid playing football and you had

0:01:56.280 --> 0:01:59.280
<v Speaker 1>a concussion, they said you had a headache. They said, oh,

0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:01.280
<v Speaker 1>you got a headache, you know, put some rip, some

0:02:01.320 --> 0:02:04.560
<v Speaker 1>dirt on it, that kind of thing. So you've got that.

0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:08.840
<v Speaker 1>Also National string Cheese Day. Now. I don't know about you,

0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:11.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how old you are and all that stuff.

0:02:11.560 --> 0:02:16.320
<v Speaker 1>But in my world when I was a kid, the

0:02:16.560 --> 0:02:21.560
<v Speaker 1>guys at lunch that had the string cheese were cool

0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:26.080
<v Speaker 1>and I very rarely got access to that. It was

0:02:26.120 --> 0:02:30.200
<v Speaker 1>like contraband. And there were two things I remember on

0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:36.799
<v Speaker 1>the elementary school lunch circuit. String cheese, and then they

0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:39.880
<v Speaker 1>had these little crackers that were like orange crackers with

0:02:39.960 --> 0:02:44.079
<v Speaker 1>peanut butter, and those were big, Like he had those,

0:02:44.160 --> 0:02:48.160
<v Speaker 1>you were next level. Also, chocolate milk, not just regular milk,

0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:52.000
<v Speaker 1>chocolate milk. My lunch is when I was a kid,

0:02:52.080 --> 0:02:56.080
<v Speaker 1>were a lot of tuna fish sandwich. I had peanut

0:02:56.120 --> 0:03:00.200
<v Speaker 1>butter and jelly. Now the tuna fish sandwich is related

0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:04.920
<v Speaker 1>to me not liking seafood. I ate so much. To

0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:08.040
<v Speaker 1>my mom loved tunafish sandwiches up Turkey and tunafish sandwiches.

0:03:08.360 --> 0:03:11.800
<v Speaker 1>But she's, oh, yeah, it's healthy, it's fish. God only

0:03:11.840 --> 0:03:14.240
<v Speaker 1>knows what kind of iron and other crap was in

0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:16.960
<v Speaker 1>that fish, but in the tune it back in those days,

0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:20.880
<v Speaker 1>but eating them, the sandwiches growing up, and you know,

0:03:20.880 --> 0:03:23.760
<v Speaker 1>I had this little crappy metal lunch box. We had

0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:28.000
<v Speaker 1>like one little thing of ice. But it did not last.

0:03:28.160 --> 0:03:30.240
<v Speaker 1>The amount of time I showed up at school like

0:03:30.320 --> 0:03:34.440
<v Speaker 1>eight in the morning, lunch was like twelve thirty And somehow,

0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:37.680
<v Speaker 1>in the span of those four four and a half hours,

0:03:38.040 --> 0:03:41.520
<v Speaker 1>the tuna fish sandwich during the warm parts of the

0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:47.320
<v Speaker 1>school year would turn to a kind of warm, mushy,

0:03:47.480 --> 0:03:51.880
<v Speaker 1>disgusting thing, and I ate it for a while, but

0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:54.000
<v Speaker 1>it was like, I'm at the point now, I'm like,

0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:58.320
<v Speaker 1>I eat seafood once a year. I will have beer

0:03:58.400 --> 0:04:03.320
<v Speaker 1>battered fish sticks and fries once a year. Sometimes I

0:04:03.360 --> 0:04:05.760
<v Speaker 1>don't even go once a year. Sometimes I go two

0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:10.880
<v Speaker 1>years without eating the fish. So there is that. But anyway,

0:04:10.880 --> 0:04:16.800
<v Speaker 1>it's National string Cheese Day. Celebrate appropriately. I think we

0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:20.600
<v Speaker 1>know what to do to celebrate National string Cheese. I

0:04:20.720 --> 0:04:23.279
<v Speaker 1>just eat some cheese. I just eat go out, eat

0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:27.040
<v Speaker 1>some cheese. Knock yourself out. Now on today's podcast, we've

0:04:27.080 --> 0:04:34.800
<v Speaker 1>got calm Waters, propter rapt keys please, and a Banksy ripoff.

0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:38.440
<v Speaker 1>A Banksy ripoff. We'll get to that as well, and

0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:40.440
<v Speaker 1>we also we have time, we'll get to some foodie

0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:44.039
<v Speaker 1>fun and I also have a phrase of the week.

0:04:44.080 --> 0:04:46.839
<v Speaker 1>But let's start with this. It is now week three

0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:51.880
<v Speaker 1>of the NFL season, and another episode of the TV

0:04:51.960 --> 0:04:56.400
<v Speaker 1>show will be up today. Depending on where you live

0:04:57.279 --> 0:05:00.120
<v Speaker 1>and how you access the show, it might already be

0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:03.040
<v Speaker 1>available by the time you hear this podcast. We put

0:05:03.080 --> 0:05:06.520
<v Speaker 1>this podcast up in the morning hours on the West Coast,

0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:10.479
<v Speaker 1>but it's likely midday on the East Coast by the

0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:12.320
<v Speaker 1>time this podcast gets up here on Friday, because I

0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:15.920
<v Speaker 1>did the overnight show last night, and hopefully you heard that,

0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:18.280
<v Speaker 1>or you'll go back and hear the podcast. And then

0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:22.840
<v Speaker 1>then I just kind of hang out for a few hours,

0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:26.279
<v Speaker 1>have some downtime, and take care of some stuff, some

0:05:26.400 --> 0:05:29.760
<v Speaker 1>notes in the studio, and then eventually go back into

0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:33.599
<v Speaker 1>the studio and here we are Abracadabra hocus Pocus, the

0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:37.279
<v Speaker 1>fifth hour Friday Podcast. As Mike Tomlin would say, you

0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:40.800
<v Speaker 1>probably don't want to know how we make the hot Talks,

0:05:41.279 --> 0:05:45.279
<v Speaker 1>but the comm waters let's start with that. So this

0:05:45.360 --> 0:05:51.520
<v Speaker 1>week no real hiccups. Mentioned last week on this podcast

0:05:51.720 --> 0:05:54.039
<v Speaker 1>the after Show. I guess this case it would be

0:05:54.040 --> 0:05:58.040
<v Speaker 1>the before show podcast. I said last week the after Show,

0:05:58.040 --> 0:06:00.480
<v Speaker 1>But this podcast goes up before the show The Betty

0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:03.119
<v Speaker 1>Versus the Petty Show starts running. So it's a different

0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:07.600
<v Speaker 1>kind of subgenre. But we do break down every episode

0:06:08.080 --> 0:06:12.760
<v Speaker 1>and we have an exclusive behind the scenes peak at

0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:16.839
<v Speaker 1>what's going on with the making of the TV show

0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:23.080
<v Speaker 1>shaking up the Idiot Box the boob Tube television. So

0:06:23.080 --> 0:06:25.919
<v Speaker 1>it's week three of the NFL as mentioned, and the

0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:29.239
<v Speaker 1>way we start getting the show ready now it's pretty

0:06:29.279 --> 0:06:33.680
<v Speaker 1>much every day there's something for the show leading into

0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:38.000
<v Speaker 1>the recording of the show. Now the game's always played,

0:06:38.000 --> 0:06:39.600
<v Speaker 1>most of them on Sunday, and then there's a Monday

0:06:39.680 --> 0:06:42.640
<v Speaker 1>night game and just kind of let you behind the

0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:44.680
<v Speaker 1>scenes here and show you what I'm doing to get

0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:48.640
<v Speaker 1>ready for the following week. By the way, all of

0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:51.360
<v Speaker 1>this work has not exactly paid off yet. All of

0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:53.360
<v Speaker 1>this work has not paid off, just so we reach

0:06:53.440 --> 0:06:58.240
<v Speaker 1>an understanding here. Despite the amount of time that goes

0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:02.320
<v Speaker 1>into this, yet still some issues with the picks and

0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:04.680
<v Speaker 1>so you'll hear about that on the TV show today.

0:07:04.720 --> 0:07:07.440
<v Speaker 1>The good news is the Penny is also writing the

0:07:07.520 --> 0:07:13.640
<v Speaker 1>Vomit comet. So Sunday you're actually watching the games. I'll

0:07:13.680 --> 0:07:15.360
<v Speaker 1>be at a game this weekend. I'll beat the RAM

0:07:15.400 --> 0:07:17.960
<v Speaker 1>forty nine er game, so I'll be hanging out there,

0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:21.800
<v Speaker 1>but I'll be watching in the press box. I'll be

0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:23.800
<v Speaker 1>watching some other West Coast games, and I'll get there

0:07:23.840 --> 0:07:25.640
<v Speaker 1>early and watch the East Coast game. So I'll be

0:07:26.640 --> 0:07:29.320
<v Speaker 1>busy and not that it matters, but I'll be busy

0:07:29.360 --> 0:07:33.240
<v Speaker 1>and so watching all the games. But here's the thing.

0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:37.800
<v Speaker 1>So the way the preparation goes, they have the look aheadline,

0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:43.240
<v Speaker 1>which is a big tool that if you're not using

0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:47.080
<v Speaker 1>in your own handicapping, you should be using. Like if

0:07:47.080 --> 0:07:48.680
<v Speaker 1>you're kind of new at this and you're like, I

0:07:48.720 --> 0:07:52.480
<v Speaker 1>don't know, is that I don't have no idea. It's

0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:57.040
<v Speaker 1>really a simple concept. So the sports books, they already

0:07:57.080 --> 0:08:01.480
<v Speaker 1>have the numbers out for week four, it's called the

0:08:01.520 --> 0:08:06.280
<v Speaker 1>look aheadline, and the way it works the there's certain

0:08:06.280 --> 0:08:09.280
<v Speaker 1>websites you can find it on the internet, but for example,

0:08:10.200 --> 0:08:12.760
<v Speaker 1>not this week, but next week. The week kicks off

0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:16.200
<v Speaker 1>with the Cowboys and the Giants. That's the Thursday game.

0:08:17.120 --> 0:08:20.240
<v Speaker 1>So you can look up the point spread as of

0:08:21.600 --> 0:08:25.240
<v Speaker 1>before Week three and all the other matchups. For example,

0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:28.800
<v Speaker 1>in week four, the primetime game on Sunday Night is

0:08:28.800 --> 0:08:33.240
<v Speaker 1>Buffalo and Baltimore. You also have two Monday night games

0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:37.800
<v Speaker 1>in Week four Titans and Dolphins, Lions and Seahawks. So

0:08:37.840 --> 0:08:42.000
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna be another busy, busy week in the mL.

0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:44.000
<v Speaker 1>But there are lines out on all these games, and

0:08:44.000 --> 0:08:47.319
<v Speaker 1>so what you look for is some kind of overreaction.

0:08:48.280 --> 0:08:51.559
<v Speaker 1>You look at the lines, you file them away, and

0:08:51.600 --> 0:08:54.360
<v Speaker 1>then we play the games on Sunday and Monday, and

0:08:54.400 --> 0:08:58.400
<v Speaker 1>then they update the lines. So you look at the

0:08:58.480 --> 0:09:02.000
<v Speaker 1>numbers and you're like, you just look for abnormalities, is

0:09:02.000 --> 0:09:06.040
<v Speaker 1>what you're looking for. You're like, for example, I'm trying

0:09:06.040 --> 0:09:08.400
<v Speaker 1>to think of something that would stand out here in

0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:12.959
<v Speaker 1>Week three, there is one that really stands out, the

0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:17.480
<v Speaker 1>Saints Eagles game. The Eagles on the look aheadline were

0:09:17.520 --> 0:09:20.280
<v Speaker 1>two and a half point favorites on the road in

0:09:20.400 --> 0:09:23.480
<v Speaker 1>New Orleans, and then they went out and they had

0:09:23.480 --> 0:09:29.280
<v Speaker 1>a clunker lost late against the team from Atlanta with

0:09:29.440 --> 0:09:33.240
<v Speaker 1>Kirk Cousins, so they adjusted the line. Plus the Saints

0:09:33.360 --> 0:09:35.960
<v Speaker 1>kicked the snot out of the Dallas Cowboys, so the

0:09:36.000 --> 0:09:38.320
<v Speaker 1>look aheadline was Philly minus two and a half. But

0:09:38.360 --> 0:09:42.240
<v Speaker 1>they have adjusted the line five points. As of this

0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:44.880
<v Speaker 1>recording of the Fifth Hour podcast, the updated line I

0:09:45.000 --> 0:09:47.800
<v Speaker 1>have is New Orleans favored by two and a half

0:09:47.880 --> 0:09:51.599
<v Speaker 1>at home. So that is a major line shift of

0:09:52.360 --> 0:09:54.440
<v Speaker 1>five points. Like a lot of these games will move

0:09:54.760 --> 0:10:00.439
<v Speaker 1>half a point or a point, but to move that,

0:10:00.440 --> 0:10:05.000
<v Speaker 1>that's a rather drastic, rather drastic turn of events. And

0:10:05.000 --> 0:10:09.080
<v Speaker 1>there's nothing else on the board this weekend that is

0:10:09.280 --> 0:10:12.400
<v Speaker 1>that dramatic. We've had some one point moves. We've had

0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:15.800
<v Speaker 1>some other games like the Lions was a two point move.

0:10:15.880 --> 0:10:19.720
<v Speaker 1>The Lions got beat by Tampa Bay at home. They

0:10:19.800 --> 0:10:24.240
<v Speaker 1>can't stop the passing game. They have a very weird

0:10:24.240 --> 0:10:29.360
<v Speaker 1>defense because Aiden Hutchinson is an absolute monster up front,

0:10:29.880 --> 0:10:36.119
<v Speaker 1>and yet the secondary for the Lions has been absolutely gouged.

0:10:36.200 --> 0:10:39.760
<v Speaker 1>We'll talk about that on today's episode of Benny Versus

0:10:39.800 --> 0:10:41.920
<v Speaker 1>the Penny and so the Cardinals, who don't have a

0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:46.280
<v Speaker 1>particularly great team, but they can move the ball through

0:10:46.320 --> 0:10:48.760
<v Speaker 1>the air with Marvin Harrison Junior the stud wide receiver.

0:10:48.880 --> 0:10:53.080
<v Speaker 1>So that game moved a couple of points. Other than that,

0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:57.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't see any anything major. I did see a

0:10:57.520 --> 0:10:59.520
<v Speaker 1>look ahead line where the Raiders were going to be

0:10:59.559 --> 0:11:04.319
<v Speaker 1>favored by a fair amount over the Panthers. That line

0:11:04.360 --> 0:11:06.000
<v Speaker 1>opened at four and a half, but that was after

0:11:06.040 --> 0:11:10.119
<v Speaker 1>the news that came down that they were changing quarterbacks.

0:11:10.240 --> 0:11:12.079
<v Speaker 1>Is they didn't have a quarterback. They were the headless

0:11:12.080 --> 0:11:15.760
<v Speaker 1>Panthers of Carolina. So those are some of the things

0:11:15.800 --> 0:11:19.000
<v Speaker 1>we look for. The way it works during the week,

0:11:19.280 --> 0:11:22.640
<v Speaker 1>usually Sunday night, I kind of go over the matchup

0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:27.400
<v Speaker 1>card for the following week, and I don't write in

0:11:27.440 --> 0:11:32.480
<v Speaker 1>pen I pencil in what I like, and generally I'm

0:11:32.520 --> 0:11:36.240
<v Speaker 1>always with the underdogs. But then I'm looking to where

0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:41.880
<v Speaker 1>the value is the projected value with the teams that

0:11:42.400 --> 0:11:44.960
<v Speaker 1>are favored, Like I'm missing something, is this something that

0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:47.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm not seeing? And then in addition to that, you're

0:11:47.960 --> 0:11:52.000
<v Speaker 1>monitoring where the money is coming in on you're monitoring

0:11:52.880 --> 0:11:56.559
<v Speaker 1>the public money, which is the tickets that are bet

0:11:56.720 --> 0:11:59.240
<v Speaker 1>the volume. And then you're looking at the amount of money,

0:11:59.240 --> 0:12:02.720
<v Speaker 1>which is often referred to as the sharp money because

0:12:02.800 --> 0:12:05.400
<v Speaker 1>the money is the sharp thing, and you're looking for

0:12:05.520 --> 0:12:09.560
<v Speaker 1>abnormalities in that where the wise guys are on one

0:12:09.640 --> 0:12:15.679
<v Speaker 1>team and the public is on another. And one of

0:12:15.720 --> 0:12:19.240
<v Speaker 1>those examples would be this weekend, the Bears and the Colts.

0:12:20.120 --> 0:12:23.600
<v Speaker 1>So the wise guys it's pretty even, but there's a

0:12:23.640 --> 0:12:27.960
<v Speaker 1>slight edge with the Sharps taking the Chicago Bears, and

0:12:28.000 --> 0:12:32.320
<v Speaker 1>the Bears are a one point dog at Indianapolis. The public, though,

0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:36.959
<v Speaker 1>it's over sixty percent in favor of the Colts, so

0:12:37.000 --> 0:12:41.720
<v Speaker 1>the public is in favor of Indianapolis, who cannot stop

0:12:42.400 --> 0:12:47.520
<v Speaker 1>cannot stop the run at all, and Anthony Richardson is

0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:51.440
<v Speaker 1>struggling to complete He's under fifty percent of his passes

0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:55.720
<v Speaker 1>at this particular point. Anything else where, it's really obvious

0:12:56.360 --> 0:12:59.840
<v Speaker 1>a lot of the games the public and the wise

0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:04.560
<v Speaker 1>gamblers agree, so there's not a lot of those. Usually

0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:07.800
<v Speaker 1>there's a couple a week. Then you also look for

0:13:07.840 --> 0:13:11.560
<v Speaker 1>the lopsided game where it's just completely upsided. For example,

0:13:12.800 --> 0:13:16.160
<v Speaker 1>the game that is totally out of sorts this weekend

0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:19.240
<v Speaker 1>is not until Monday, and there's two games on Monday Night,

0:13:19.240 --> 0:13:22.920
<v Speaker 1>but the Commanders and the Bengals on that Monday Night game,

0:13:23.800 --> 0:13:27.440
<v Speaker 1>Monday Night card. Here in week three, the Bengals coming

0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:33.800
<v Speaker 1>off a close loss against Kansas City, and you look

0:13:33.800 --> 0:13:36.800
<v Speaker 1>at that as a ninety over ninety percent the information

0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:39.760
<v Speaker 1>that we have here, over ninety percent of the sharp

0:13:39.800 --> 0:13:44.600
<v Speaker 1>money and then the tickets is in favor of the

0:13:44.640 --> 0:13:46.839
<v Speaker 1>Bengals at seven and a half, that's a big number.

0:13:47.120 --> 0:13:51.600
<v Speaker 1>Washington is a terrible football team, but they can move

0:13:51.679 --> 0:13:53.480
<v Speaker 1>the ball a little bit. The problem is they have

0:13:53.600 --> 0:13:57.240
<v Speaker 1>very long, time consuming drives and is that a letdown

0:13:57.280 --> 0:13:59.120
<v Speaker 1>spot for the Bengals. And a lot of this stuff

0:13:59.160 --> 0:14:02.280
<v Speaker 1>we're going to cover on Benny Versus depending. We don't

0:14:02.320 --> 0:14:04.520
<v Speaker 1>get to every game. It's only a half hour TV show.

0:14:05.120 --> 0:14:06.800
<v Speaker 1>It's only a half hour TV show, so we can't

0:14:06.800 --> 0:14:10.040
<v Speaker 1>get to everything. But that's how it works. And so

0:14:10.080 --> 0:14:14.040
<v Speaker 1>I look at all that stuff, and then Tuesday is

0:14:14.080 --> 0:14:15.800
<v Speaker 1>really a day where I spend a lot of my

0:14:15.840 --> 0:14:20.840
<v Speaker 1>time looking at trends and angles. Then Wednesday the injury report.

0:14:22.080 --> 0:14:26.960
<v Speaker 1>First injury report comes out, but you're also monitoring the

0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:31.320
<v Speaker 1>reports from the different news sites, the reporters who are

0:14:31.360 --> 0:14:34.960
<v Speaker 1>reporting on guys missing practice or guys that are dinged

0:14:35.040 --> 0:14:37.000
<v Speaker 1>up that are not expected to play because a lot

0:14:37.000 --> 0:14:40.240
<v Speaker 1>of coaches news conferences are Monday, and then you know,

0:14:40.280 --> 0:14:44.520
<v Speaker 1>Tuesday usually a day off, Monday, Tuesday, whatever one of

0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:47.040
<v Speaker 1>those days is off, and so for the players. But

0:14:47.160 --> 0:14:49.760
<v Speaker 1>usually Wednesday the injury report comes out and you kind

0:14:49.760 --> 0:14:53.120
<v Speaker 1>of look at that, and then Wednesday is the day

0:14:53.200 --> 0:14:57.200
<v Speaker 1>that the show is put together with Viny the producer

0:14:57.240 --> 0:15:00.760
<v Speaker 1>in Boston, and John and the guys, and so I

0:15:00.800 --> 0:15:03.800
<v Speaker 1>spend a good amount of the morning after the show.

0:15:03.880 --> 0:15:08.560
<v Speaker 1>I put everything together and mostly email correspondence these days

0:15:08.680 --> 0:15:11.960
<v Speaker 1>and text messaging and things like that, and so we'll

0:15:12.520 --> 0:15:14.880
<v Speaker 1>I'll send over everything that I have, I'll send over

0:15:14.960 --> 0:15:19.200
<v Speaker 1>my picks, and then I don't know what the penny's picking.

0:15:19.560 --> 0:15:23.360
<v Speaker 1>I go into it blind and then we find out. Obviously,

0:15:23.440 --> 0:15:27.120
<v Speaker 1>we do the show on Thursday and we find out

0:15:27.120 --> 0:15:31.360
<v Speaker 1>what's going on. So we had a relatively calm week,

0:15:31.400 --> 0:15:35.280
<v Speaker 1>calm waters on the show, which was good and it's

0:15:35.280 --> 0:15:37.880
<v Speaker 1>pretty cool. It was a flipping good time. We had

0:15:38.080 --> 0:15:42.520
<v Speaker 1>Tom Looney. There were a couple of incidents with the prompter.

0:15:42.640 --> 0:15:47.600
<v Speaker 1>We call Looney the prompter rompter cause Looney kind of

0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:52.320
<v Speaker 1>like Resident Trump from back in the day where you

0:15:52.400 --> 0:15:55.760
<v Speaker 1>heard stories where President Trump would be when he was

0:15:56.000 --> 0:15:58.280
<v Speaker 1>doing speeches, he would have everything written out in the

0:15:58.280 --> 0:16:03.240
<v Speaker 1>prompter and then just let it rip right, just improv

0:16:04.000 --> 0:16:06.800
<v Speaker 1>and add the stuff. And Looney does the same thing.

0:16:07.520 --> 0:16:10.760
<v Speaker 1>Like Looney will do the same same deal, or like

0:16:10.840 --> 0:16:13.560
<v Speaker 1>he has copy written for him, but then he'll add on.

0:16:13.760 --> 0:16:16.240
<v Speaker 1>You know, he'll try to touch up his own work.

0:16:17.840 --> 0:16:22.800
<v Speaker 1>And sometimes that works and sometimes it doesn't. I would

0:16:22.840 --> 0:16:27.320
<v Speaker 1>say the person that has it the most difficult is

0:16:27.320 --> 0:16:31.400
<v Speaker 1>the guy at NBC Sports Boston who has to keep

0:16:31.440 --> 0:16:36.280
<v Speaker 1>the prompter going and know when to pose it because

0:16:36.360 --> 0:16:40.080
<v Speaker 1>of cause of Looney. Yeah, that's not an easy job.

0:16:40.080 --> 0:16:42.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't I don't have a prompter on my side.

0:16:43.600 --> 0:16:48.080
<v Speaker 1>I am ownnatural, which is a lot of memory, trying

0:16:48.120 --> 0:16:50.600
<v Speaker 1>to remember everything, and I often forget a lot of

0:16:50.640 --> 0:16:52.400
<v Speaker 1>the things that I wanted to get on the show.

0:16:52.440 --> 0:16:54.080
<v Speaker 1>And you know that going it's kind of like a

0:16:54.200 --> 0:16:58.480
<v Speaker 1>radio show, and most of the stuff that you prepared

0:16:58.560 --> 0:17:02.560
<v Speaker 1>doesn't actually ever make the show, whether it's radio or TV,

0:17:02.720 --> 0:17:04.920
<v Speaker 1>especially the TV show, because it's only half an hour

0:17:05.000 --> 0:17:06.520
<v Speaker 1>and we have to move. We have to keep the

0:17:06.520 --> 0:17:09.360
<v Speaker 1>show moving, the train must keep moving and all that

0:17:09.560 --> 0:17:14.119
<v Speaker 1>and so that's part of the deal as well. But

0:17:14.240 --> 0:17:18.639
<v Speaker 1>Looney is the prompter rapter, and it reminds me of

0:17:19.320 --> 0:17:21.399
<v Speaker 1>absolutely not going to compare it to this, but one

0:17:21.440 --> 0:17:24.280
<v Speaker 1>of the great stories I ever heard about someone who

0:17:24.359 --> 0:17:26.400
<v Speaker 1>just ad libbed it and Looney does not add libit,

0:17:27.440 --> 0:17:32.119
<v Speaker 1>but had a speech was Martin Luther King. One of

0:17:32.200 --> 0:17:34.840
<v Speaker 1>the great speeches in American history, the I have a

0:17:34.920 --> 0:17:38.760
<v Speaker 1>Dream speech, which I think most of that now has tried.

0:17:39.640 --> 0:17:41.840
<v Speaker 1>The new wave is to try to debunk all of

0:17:41.880 --> 0:17:46.200
<v Speaker 1>those things that Martin Luther King had said. Right, we're

0:17:46.240 --> 0:17:49.400
<v Speaker 1>in a period of time. That's a third rile on mine,

0:17:49.480 --> 0:17:53.560
<v Speaker 1>that's a third riyal, what are you doing? But it

0:17:53.560 --> 0:17:55.280
<v Speaker 1>seems like a lot of stuff that's been going on

0:17:55.359 --> 0:17:58.520
<v Speaker 1>in the last couple years kind of goes against that speech.

0:17:58.560 --> 0:18:03.000
<v Speaker 1>But anyway, he gave the speech in Washington, DC, and

0:18:03.560 --> 0:18:06.200
<v Speaker 1>famous speech, you know, I have a dream and all

0:18:06.280 --> 0:18:15.160
<v Speaker 1>that and legendary, and supposedly he did not he had

0:18:15.200 --> 0:18:19.200
<v Speaker 1>the speech copied, but he just he had lived it.

0:18:19.280 --> 0:18:21.800
<v Speaker 1>And then the famous story was he was walking off

0:18:22.680 --> 0:18:25.720
<v Speaker 1>the stage and he gave the I have a Dream

0:18:25.760 --> 0:18:30.600
<v Speaker 1>speech to this young guy who was working security at

0:18:30.600 --> 0:18:35.040
<v Speaker 1>this big event in Washington, d C. And it was

0:18:35.200 --> 0:18:38.520
<v Speaker 1>somebody that turned out to be a college basketball player

0:18:39.440 --> 0:18:45.600
<v Speaker 1>and a coach, and George Raveling was the guy's name,

0:18:46.119 --> 0:18:49.800
<v Speaker 1>And when I was a kid, he was a coach

0:18:49.840 --> 0:18:52.800
<v Speaker 1>and had successful career in basketball, and he happened to

0:18:52.840 --> 0:18:56.080
<v Speaker 1>have a copy. Last I checked, I haven't heard anything new.

0:18:56.080 --> 0:18:58.239
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if he sold it. I don't even

0:18:58.240 --> 0:18:59.960
<v Speaker 1>know if he's still around. He was old years ago.

0:19:00.160 --> 0:19:02.600
<v Speaker 1>But George Rattling, I think he's still around. Last I heard,

0:19:02.640 --> 0:19:04.520
<v Speaker 1>he was still around. But he had a copy of that.

0:19:04.560 --> 0:19:07.800
<v Speaker 1>But Martin Luther King did not actually use the speech,

0:19:08.040 --> 0:19:11.080
<v Speaker 1>like just he just let it rip and gave it

0:19:11.119 --> 0:19:14.600
<v Speaker 1>to the security guys here. I don't need that. So

0:19:14.680 --> 0:19:18.600
<v Speaker 1>that's the way that went. I mentioned Calm Waters on

0:19:18.640 --> 0:19:23.080
<v Speaker 1>the TV show. There was one incident that took place

0:19:23.200 --> 0:19:29.000
<v Speaker 1>post TV show where we had keys please, and so

0:19:29.240 --> 0:19:33.919
<v Speaker 1>we're packing up our stuff. We have that moment where

0:19:34.000 --> 0:19:38.080
<v Speaker 1>you feel like, man, this is really cool. Another show,

0:19:39.040 --> 0:19:41.880
<v Speaker 1>The Baby's to Bed. We finished the show. Now it's

0:19:41.920 --> 0:19:44.120
<v Speaker 1>the time for them to edit it and they've got

0:19:44.119 --> 0:19:47.480
<v Speaker 1>to put it together and send it out on satellites

0:19:47.560 --> 0:19:49.160
<v Speaker 1>or whatever they use to send the show out. Probably

0:19:49.160 --> 0:19:52.280
<v Speaker 1>all internet base now, so like, oh man, this is awesome,

0:19:52.320 --> 0:19:55.399
<v Speaker 1>right the show, the show is done, our work for

0:19:55.440 --> 0:19:58.000
<v Speaker 1>the week is done. I'm then like okay. So then

0:19:58.040 --> 0:20:02.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm processing everything. I'm like okay. So I got a

0:20:02.080 --> 0:20:06.160
<v Speaker 1>long drive in traffic, rush hour traffic to get back

0:20:06.160 --> 0:20:09.840
<v Speaker 1>to the Malor mansion. I've been up for a very

0:20:09.880 --> 0:20:12.600
<v Speaker 1>long time, so I have to sleep. So I'm gonna

0:20:12.640 --> 0:20:15.879
<v Speaker 1>get maybe three hours of sleep if I'm lucky. And

0:20:15.920 --> 0:20:17.399
<v Speaker 1>then I got to get up because I got to

0:20:17.440 --> 0:20:19.600
<v Speaker 1>get some stuff done for the radio show. And then

0:20:19.640 --> 0:20:22.200
<v Speaker 1>I got to watch the game Thursday night NFL game

0:20:22.240 --> 0:20:23.840
<v Speaker 1>and all that stuff. I got to try to probably

0:20:23.840 --> 0:20:26.560
<v Speaker 1>eat something somewhere in there too, So I got all that.

0:20:26.760 --> 0:20:29.919
<v Speaker 1>But on our way out when I'm I'm not taking

0:20:29.960 --> 0:20:33.040
<v Speaker 1>off my church my temple clothes, but I'm on our

0:20:33.040 --> 0:20:37.240
<v Speaker 1>way out. What we did is, you know, we say

0:20:37.280 --> 0:20:39.440
<v Speaker 1>goodbye to everybody and all that. We have a little

0:20:39.480 --> 0:20:42.600
<v Speaker 1>post me and Looney have We have the table read

0:20:42.680 --> 0:20:45.520
<v Speaker 1>before the show, and then we have a post show

0:20:45.640 --> 0:20:49.960
<v Speaker 1>kind of wrap up. We bull show each other and

0:20:50.000 --> 0:20:52.919
<v Speaker 1>talk about what we liked or we didn't like, that

0:20:53.040 --> 0:20:55.560
<v Speaker 1>kind of thing. So you know, we're doing that, and

0:20:55.600 --> 0:20:58.479
<v Speaker 1>then we're getting ready to leave the studio there at

0:20:58.520 --> 0:21:01.560
<v Speaker 1>Universal Studios and to go to the park. I think

0:21:01.600 --> 0:21:04.399
<v Speaker 1>it's the appen in Costello Parking Lot. I believe, heyway whatever.

0:21:04.480 --> 0:21:07.320
<v Speaker 1>So we're getting ready to walk out of there, and

0:21:08.280 --> 0:21:11.560
<v Speaker 1>Looney's in a tizzy and he's like, keys place, he

0:21:11.600 --> 0:21:15.480
<v Speaker 1>can't find his keys? So how do you lose your key?

0:21:15.520 --> 0:21:18.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean, what are you doing? So he's scrambling around,

0:21:18.760 --> 0:21:21.639
<v Speaker 1>he's running around like a banshee, trying to find find

0:21:21.640 --> 0:21:27.600
<v Speaker 1>his keys, like the Tasmanian devil. And eventually he retraced

0:21:27.600 --> 0:21:31.440
<v Speaker 1>the steps and he did find the keys. And as

0:21:31.480 --> 0:21:33.840
<v Speaker 1>always we always like to say, the keys in the

0:21:33.960 --> 0:21:36.880
<v Speaker 1>last place he looked, the keys in the last place

0:21:36.920 --> 0:21:38.800
<v Speaker 1>he looks, because they're always in the last place you look.

0:21:39.240 --> 0:21:44.320
<v Speaker 1>Because he stopped looking after that, right all right now,

0:21:44.400 --> 0:21:49.679
<v Speaker 1>the horror Man's or the blind Man's Banksy when you

0:21:49.760 --> 0:21:55.000
<v Speaker 1>watch today's episode of the TV show, and even our

0:21:55.040 --> 0:21:57.080
<v Speaker 1>blind listeners will be able to see this, So blind

0:21:57.119 --> 0:22:01.960
<v Speaker 1>Emmied blind Scott in Boston, all you guys, you'll be

0:22:02.040 --> 0:22:05.160
<v Speaker 1>able to see this. So the shirt that Looney wore,

0:22:05.600 --> 0:22:07.240
<v Speaker 1>he had a different shirt that he was gonna wear,

0:22:07.280 --> 0:22:10.600
<v Speaker 1>but it didn't show up on the camera because we're

0:22:10.640 --> 0:22:13.600
<v Speaker 1>really shot from the waist up, and not even the

0:22:13.640 --> 0:22:15.720
<v Speaker 1>waist up, it's really like the middle of our chest up.

0:22:15.880 --> 0:22:19.960
<v Speaker 1>That's all you see on camera. So Looney, he brought

0:22:19.960 --> 0:22:22.840
<v Speaker 1>the shirt and he didn't like it because it didn't

0:22:22.880 --> 0:22:25.119
<v Speaker 1>show enough of the shirt on camera. So he had

0:22:25.119 --> 0:22:29.320
<v Speaker 1>a backup shirt. But the backup shirt looked like it

0:22:29.680 --> 0:22:37.639
<v Speaker 1>was a rip off Banksy shirt, like street art, like

0:22:37.800 --> 0:22:44.440
<v Speaker 1>somebody had taken a can of spray paint and sprayed

0:22:44.600 --> 0:22:49.959
<v Speaker 1>Looney shirt with like different random colors. It was very bizarre,

0:22:50.720 --> 0:22:54.680
<v Speaker 1>and yeah, you got to see it to believe it,

0:22:54.760 --> 0:22:58.320
<v Speaker 1>but trust me, it's like it's like a white shirt,

0:22:58.440 --> 0:23:00.480
<v Speaker 1>but it looks and I don't know if it will

0:23:00.480 --> 0:23:03.560
<v Speaker 1>show up on camera like this, but seeing Looney on

0:23:03.560 --> 0:23:06.360
<v Speaker 1>a table read and then seeing him, you know, obviously

0:23:06.359 --> 0:23:10.200
<v Speaker 1>on camera on my end in the in the box

0:23:10.640 --> 0:23:13.480
<v Speaker 1>that they have the feed, it was like, dude, what

0:23:13.520 --> 0:23:17.480
<v Speaker 1>are you doing? I mean, my good now I'm starving

0:23:17.560 --> 0:23:19.560
<v Speaker 1>this week. I am the man in black. I am

0:23:19.600 --> 0:23:22.399
<v Speaker 1>the man in black this week at least shirt wise.

0:23:23.480 --> 0:23:26.720
<v Speaker 1>So there is that. So again, thank you for watching.

0:23:26.760 --> 0:23:29.760
<v Speaker 1>You guys have been great. I really means the world

0:23:29.840 --> 0:23:32.119
<v Speaker 1>to me. That you guys who have and you know

0:23:32.119 --> 0:23:34.760
<v Speaker 1>who you are listening to this podcast and you've you've

0:23:34.760 --> 0:23:37.399
<v Speaker 1>gone out of your way. I've gotten emails from people saying, hey,

0:23:37.440 --> 0:23:39.480
<v Speaker 1>I didn't have Peacock. You know, it wasn't one of

0:23:39.480 --> 0:23:41.399
<v Speaker 1>the streaming services I have. I have it now because

0:23:41.400 --> 0:23:44.119
<v Speaker 1>of the show. And that means a lot to me,

0:23:44.160 --> 0:23:47.240
<v Speaker 1>because I mean, that's awesome. So I mean you're spending money,

0:23:47.600 --> 0:23:49.600
<v Speaker 1>which you don't probably have a lot of, right, so

0:23:49.680 --> 0:23:52.639
<v Speaker 1>I thank you. Nobody has enough money unless you're like

0:23:52.640 --> 0:23:55.440
<v Speaker 1>Elon Musk or something. So and I'm pretty sure he's

0:23:55.440 --> 0:23:57.919
<v Speaker 1>not a fan. Pretty sure he's not a fan. So anyway,

0:23:57.960 --> 0:24:01.200
<v Speaker 1>thank you, and we'll see how it goes today and

0:24:01.200 --> 0:24:04.560

0:27:39.680 --> 0:27:43.080

0:27:43.080 --> 0:27:46.480
<v Speaker 1>bowls Hello to the menu for the first time. That's

0:27:46.480 --> 0:27:50.359
<v Speaker 1>a big step at Dominoes. Big step Arby's, I know

0:27:50.480 --> 0:27:54.600
<v Speaker 1>Danny g loves Arby's. Arby's has launched a new tailgate

0:27:54.680 --> 0:27:58.919
<v Speaker 1>meal with new tailgate turnover for football season. That's a

0:27:59.000 --> 0:28:03.959
<v Speaker 1>limited time item at Rby's. Way to go. All right,

0:28:04.000 --> 0:28:06.960
<v Speaker 1>So that's enough for the Foodie Fund and so stop

0:28:07.000 --> 0:28:10.719
<v Speaker 1>your complaining. Time now for the phrase of the week,

0:28:12.000 --> 0:28:14.240
<v Speaker 1>and to phrase the week. On this Friday, the twentieth

0:28:14.280 --> 0:28:17.720
<v Speaker 1>of September is Luck of the Irish. Now it's say

0:28:17.760 --> 0:28:23.760
<v Speaker 1>college football weekend and tomorrow, tomorrow, I will be watching

0:28:23.760 --> 0:28:26.800
<v Speaker 1>college football. Now I am accused by some of not

0:28:26.920 --> 0:28:29.400
<v Speaker 1>being into the college football game because we don't talk

0:28:29.440 --> 0:28:32.679
<v Speaker 1>about it much on the radio show. But that's because

0:28:32.680 --> 0:28:35.399
<v Speaker 1>of when we're on. That's because of when we're on.

0:28:35.520 --> 0:28:39.400
<v Speaker 1>So I do watch a fair amount on Saturday afternoon,

0:28:39.920 --> 0:28:43.760
<v Speaker 1>and I really skim the games. I skim the games. Now.

0:28:43.960 --> 0:28:48.920
<v Speaker 1>Notre Dame will be playing tomorrow at three point thirty

0:28:48.960 --> 0:28:54.840
<v Speaker 1>eastern on and B see. They will be taking on Miami,

0:28:54.920 --> 0:28:58.120
<v Speaker 1>but not that Miami, Miami of Ohio, which I think

0:28:58.160 --> 0:29:01.120
<v Speaker 1>is where Ben Roethlisberger went, if I remember anyway, Notre

0:29:01.200 --> 0:29:03.840
<v Speaker 1>Dame is a twenty eight point favorite in that game.

0:29:03.880 --> 0:29:06.840
<v Speaker 1>They open at twenty six, twenty eight point favorite, which

0:29:06.880 --> 0:29:10.640
<v Speaker 1>is rather shocking now, I considering that they lost to

0:29:11.520 --> 0:29:14.400
<v Speaker 1>a school that they normally Northern Illinois, that you just

0:29:14.400 --> 0:29:17.360
<v Speaker 1>assumed they would win by a gazillion. So would you

0:29:17.520 --> 0:29:21.560
<v Speaker 1>take Notre Dame and the points or would you go

0:29:21.680 --> 0:29:25.000
<v Speaker 1>the other direction? I'm looking at the money here. The

0:29:25.040 --> 0:29:28.000
<v Speaker 1>public is loading up on Notre Dame. The wise guys,

0:29:28.040 --> 0:29:30.959
<v Speaker 1>it's a little more even a little more even on

0:29:31.040 --> 0:29:34.600
<v Speaker 1>that if you look at the gambling numbers, and also

0:29:34.640 --> 0:29:35.880
<v Speaker 1>the other game I want to keep an eye on,

0:29:35.880 --> 0:29:38.880
<v Speaker 1>which is I think at the same time UCLA and LSU,

0:29:39.240 --> 0:29:41.880
<v Speaker 1>just because UCLA will likely lose this game by four

0:29:41.960 --> 0:29:45.760
<v Speaker 1>or five touchdowns, and then Brian Finley numbnuts has to

0:29:45.800 --> 0:29:49.080
<v Speaker 1>do the postgame talk show and say it's not that bad.

0:29:49.160 --> 0:29:51.000
<v Speaker 1>So I look forward to that. Now, as far as

0:29:51.080 --> 0:29:54.280
<v Speaker 1>the Notre Dame things concerned, that ties into the phrames

0:29:54.360 --> 0:29:56.720
<v Speaker 1>of the week, which is luck of the Irish. Now

0:29:56.920 --> 0:30:01.760
<v Speaker 1>is the phrase luck of the Irish about Notre Dame? No, No,

0:30:02.040 --> 0:30:06.200
<v Speaker 1>it is not. Does it originate in Ireland. Well not really,

0:30:06.840 --> 0:30:10.440
<v Speaker 1>not really, does it come from sports? No, what if

0:30:10.480 --> 0:30:15.120
<v Speaker 1>I told you that it comes from gambling, that luck

0:30:15.160 --> 0:30:17.480
<v Speaker 1>of the Irish comes from gambling. But it was also

0:30:17.680 --> 0:30:23.240
<v Speaker 1>a derogatory term that was used in the early days.

0:30:24.040 --> 0:30:26.960
<v Speaker 1>I say early days for me, it's the early days

0:30:26.960 --> 0:30:32.680
<v Speaker 1>of America, nineteenth century mining, going down the Oregon Trail

0:30:32.680 --> 0:30:36.000
<v Speaker 1>heading to the West. The phrase is believed to have

0:30:36.000 --> 0:30:40.280
<v Speaker 1>originated during the American gold Rush, the runout to California,

0:30:41.160 --> 0:30:45.200
<v Speaker 1>where things like Denhim Jeans and the one Armed bandit

0:30:45.280 --> 0:30:49.200
<v Speaker 1>the slot machine were invented because of the gold rush.

0:30:49.320 --> 0:30:53.560
<v Speaker 1>But the American gold Rush, many of the most successful

0:30:53.600 --> 0:30:58.880
<v Speaker 1>miners were Irishmen or Irish Americans that had found their

0:30:58.920 --> 0:31:01.800
<v Speaker 1>wealth and they just knew where to look for gold,

0:31:02.280 --> 0:31:04.400
<v Speaker 1>and they found a lot of it. And the phrase

0:31:04.480 --> 0:31:08.960
<v Speaker 1>was used to describe the miners' success as being due

0:31:08.960 --> 0:31:12.920
<v Speaker 1>to a lack of skill. But and it didn't work hard, No, No,

0:31:13.000 --> 0:31:14.640
<v Speaker 1>they just had the luck of the Irish. Right, there

0:31:14.720 --> 0:31:17.880
<v Speaker 1>was the luck of the Irish, and the implication rather obvious,

0:31:17.920 --> 0:31:19.440
<v Speaker 1>even for those of you in the back of the room,

0:31:19.840 --> 0:31:23.600
<v Speaker 1>that the Irish were only able to succeed through luck.

0:31:24.080 --> 0:31:26.040
<v Speaker 1>Now there is a tie in if you go all

0:31:26.080 --> 0:31:30.920
<v Speaker 1>the way back to like Celtic mythology, the tie into

0:31:30.960 --> 0:31:34.320
<v Speaker 1>the Leprechaun, the Irish leprechaun, the small green man who

0:31:34.360 --> 0:31:37.360
<v Speaker 1>lives in Boston and is known as Lucky little Leprechaun

0:31:37.400 --> 0:31:41.479
<v Speaker 1>and calls our radio show and would supposedly guard a

0:31:41.600 --> 0:31:45.239
<v Speaker 1>pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. And

0:31:45.280 --> 0:31:48.000
<v Speaker 1>so the leprechaun is considered lucky. But the phrase luck

0:31:48.040 --> 0:31:50.720
<v Speaker 1>of the Irish goes back again to the gold rush.

0:31:50.800 --> 0:31:54.880
<v Speaker 1>That is the phrase of the week, and that'll put

0:31:54.920 --> 0:31:58.640
<v Speaker 1>the end of this podcast. Remember Benny versus the Penny

0:31:58.800 --> 0:32:03.719
<v Speaker 1>all day to day. It's every other hour somewhere it's wild.

0:32:03.760 --> 0:32:09.040
<v Speaker 1>It's wild and crazy on in LA on Saturday, New York, Boston, Philly,

0:32:09.160 --> 0:32:12.000
<v Speaker 1>San Francisco, many other stations. I don't even know where

0:32:12.000 --> 0:32:15.000
<v Speaker 1>it's airing. I don't have all the affiliates. And also

0:32:15.120 --> 0:32:19.280
