they've already decided that. Also, Bears wide receiver rom Adnze

that's promo code Malor at DraftKings. The crown is yours.
Now we've taken care of some business. Let's get into
the meat.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
Of the matter.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
We will not will not be starting within epic epic
game last night on Thursday Night Football, just the third
game the last twenty five years that sucked as bad
as that. There's only bit two other games. The Broncos
and the Raiders combined for over fifteen punts, twenty plus penalties,

(03:36):
and less than twenty points. It was a ten to
seven final score. The Broncos won the game, not looking
like a championship level team. Let's just put it this way.
If you're the other top teams in the AFC, like
Kansas City Patriots are playing well right now, some of
these other teams. You're not too concerned about the Broncos
the way they played in that game. Fortunately for the Broncos,

(03:57):
they have plenty of time before the playoffs start to
get their act.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
Now.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
One of the teams that is chasing the team from Colorado,
that would be the team out of Indianapolis.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
And if they win in.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
Berlin, win in Berlin on Sunday early morning, I'll be sleeping.
If they win that game, though, the Colts will have
the same record as the Broncos, and they of course
have the tiebreaker because of the head to head game.

Speaker 1 (04:23):
So after going.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
All in and then going to Berlin for Sauce Gardner,
the Colts we had heard the other day.

Speaker 1 (04:32):
We talked about this in a previous episode of the show.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
The reason we did not give the Colts an a
plus plus plus plus plus on the sauce Gardner move
was because of the quarterback situation. So the Colts are
smitten horses. I don't know if you saw this or not,
maybe not. State sponsored NFL media, the prov the news

(04:55):
service of Pro Football tells us that not only do
the Colts like the Daniel Jones, not only do the
Colts believe in Daniel Jones. The Colts are prepared to
make him their quote franchise quarterback close quote holy holy

(05:16):
but Jiegers Batman, what are we doing here? I mean
Mike now Ian Rappaport, who is part of the prob
the news service there state sponsored NFL media, he dropped
the nugget talking about the Colts thought process why they
gave up two first round picks. The holy grail, y'all
tell me this is the holy grail for a sauce gardner. Now,

(05:37):
Indiana Jones has the starting job on lockdown.

Speaker 1 (05:42):
Remember the lockdown? Yeah, lockdown. So he's got the job
on lockdown.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
Now. They're done in Indianapolis with Anthony Richardson. Of course
they were done the moment he quit on the team
against the Texans. So Daniel Jones, he's only under contract
through the end of the season, only under contract the
rest of this year, which means he is lined up
to win the Mega millions, Mega Megamega. He's gonna win

(06:07):
the Mega millions. That is a good jumping off point.
So let us discuss the question has Daniel Jones shown
enough to be the Colts forever quarterback? They're franchise quarterback
so on this one, I've got pharmacy, instant, oatmeal, and handkerchief,
and we will combine all of these things together, and

(06:31):
we are going to make a mulligan, a nice, big mulligan,
because the Colts get a mulligan. They drafted Anthony Richardson
as there forever quarterback. He sucks, and they got a
mulligan for now, for now.

Speaker 1 (06:46):
With Daniel Jones. All right, So there you go.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
Now to lead off though, to answer the question, has
Daniel Jones shown enough to be the forever quarterback for
the Colts? My answer is police, all right, with cheese
doodles on top.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
What are we doing here?

Speaker 2 (07:03):
Let's all pump the brakes. Now, pump the brakes on
the parade through downtown Indy. They're treating Daniel Jones like
he's Peyton Manning reincarnated, not the cheesy Peyton Manning TV guy,
the old Peyton Manning playing. He's made what nine starts
I believe is that nine starts in Indianapolis?

Speaker 1 (07:24):
Nine nine, that's it? And he played. I went back,
I looked it up.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
Sixty nine games with the Giants, sixty.

Speaker 1 (07:33):
Nine versus nine.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
He got absolutely mauled with the g men, and he
just didn't look like he knew what he was doing.
He fumbled the ball like a hot potato. He was
known as the stumblebumb dime store quarterback, all that stuff.
And so now he strings together some solid performances and

(07:56):
all of a sudden, Oh no, no, he's not just
Peyton Manning. He's Mahomes. He's Mahomes with a horseshoe. Up
has took us. It's premature, it is. And listen, you
don't need me to tell you.

Speaker 1 (08:07):
JT. The Wingman would tell you they need a chill pill,
they need a chill pill, and yet we sell a pill.
I'm sure we have an advertiser, right.

Speaker 2 (08:16):
The Colts mascot is named blue, and so just give
the Colts mascot Blue something to chew.

Speaker 1 (08:24):
On when you go down to the pharmacy. If you
know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (08:27):
It's the old game show, to tell the truth, Tell
the truth. Will the real Daniel Jones please stand up?
Will the real Daniel Jones please stand up? Because right
now we're not so sure. Behind these microphones wearing these
very powerful headphones, we're not so sure which one you've
got because I'm pretty locked in on Daniel Jones being

(08:50):
a turnover machine from the meadow Lands, that guy, and
then other people are trying to tell me, oh no, no,
he's not that guy. He's the guy now in Indianapolis.
But I look at the Colts, I'm like, yeah, they're
playing well, good for them, congratulations, and that's great. He's
also got a lot of cool stuff going on around him.

(09:13):
The defense is not great, but it's better than a
lot of teams. And Jonathan Taylor has played like an
MVP level player. So if you're in the jury room
and you're weighing the evidence, the good, the bad, and
the ugly, and the evidence says that Daniel Jones has
been fine, He's been fine, not great, not great, but fine. Now,

(09:38):
Jones had a real clunker last week before the Colts
went back to Indy and then go to Berlin for
the game this weekend. But Daniel Jones had five turnovers.
That is a one man demolition crew for the Colts. Now,
the other thing, all of this is a small sample size.
The Colts are drunk off their seven and to record,

(10:00):
it's the dopamine hit.

Speaker 1 (10:02):
You win a few games, they're.

Speaker 2 (10:03):
Like, all right, we got something here, we got start
rubbing your hands again.

Speaker 1 (10:07):
We got those something.

Speaker 2 (10:07):
Here and they're mistaking though in my analysis, they're mistaking.
They being the Colts are mistaking temporary competence, temporary competence
for long term greatness like enjoy the right franchise cornerback.

Speaker 1 (10:26):
Methinks, not so much. Not not there yet.

Speaker 2 (10:29):
And even if he makes it through the year, remember
last year Minnesota, the Vikings, they thought a lot of.

Speaker 1 (10:35):
People thought, wow, say it, this is Sam Donald.

Speaker 2 (10:38):
Oh man, they're their pants down for Sam Donald last
year in Minnesota.

Speaker 1 (10:41):
And what happened.

Speaker 2 (10:43):
The real Sam Donald showed up in big games against
the Lions and the Rams and the playoffs.

Speaker 1 (10:48):
At the end of the year.

Speaker 2 (10:49):
And and now he's in Seattle, and I'm hearing the
same thing from my friends in Seattle. Oh my god,
Sam Donald, He's so good.

Speaker 1 (10:59):
We got our guy. And I'm like, okay, you just wait,
you just wait. Tck tck tck tck tck tck tck tick.

Speaker 2 (11:06):
That is a tinderbox. That is a tinderbox. And we
know how that ends. Co boom is how that ends,
all right, So the verdict is in. Daniel Jones is
still on probation. Double Secret probation, and I laugh at
the Colts falling for the oldest trick in the NFL book,

(11:27):
thinking that they found their guy because someone played well
for two months.

Speaker 1 (11:31):
Okay, it's so stupid. It happens all the time.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
You're still in the hunting moon period and you're like, oh, no, no,
we found our forever quarterback. Okay, No, not franchise guy
on my scorecard, not a list my big board. No,
probably not ever. We'll believe it when Indiana Jones good nickname,
when Indiana Jones can find the lost arc of consistent

(11:56):
quarterback play. Until then, I'm going to be skeptical. Now, furthermore,
to sweet home Chicago we go, where the baseball is blah,
the football's a little bit better lately, and even.

Speaker 1 (12:12):
The basketball team's playing okay right now start the year.

Speaker 2 (12:15):
So the Chicago Bears follow up follow up to a
story we talked about the other day. Bears wide receiver
Rome Adunza responded to claims made by his pops on
social media. His father on social media ripping the Chicago
Bears and essentially asking for a trade.

Speaker 1 (12:38):
And going on and on and all that stuff. So
that was the story the other day.

Speaker 2 (12:44):
So they went to Roma Dunza and they said, okay,
your dad said this, What say you?

Speaker 3 (12:48):
So?

Speaker 2 (12:48):
The question now, Roma Dunze said, when asked about this,
he said, listen, that's his prerogative, but that he does
not Roma Dunsay said, he does not speak for me.
My father does not speak for me. So the question
is what say you? What say you?

Speaker 3 (13:04):
So?

Speaker 2 (13:04):
This story, it's the professional sports version of a little
league parent, you know, the kind that sits behind home
play yelling my boys a five tube player, except the
only tool they.

Speaker 1 (13:21):
Have is eating, you know, let's say.

Speaker 2 (13:24):
And of course those parents they have a high speed internet,
and they have a ring camera or ring light around
the camera and all that stuff. But Pops is demanding
a trade and counting targets like he's working at Pro
Football Focus because he's like, the kid did not get
enough targets and all this stuff and he should have

(13:45):
gotten the ball. And so he thinks. I'm sure that
the kid's dad thinks, oh man, this is going to
help my son.

Speaker 1 (13:51):
Out, help out junior.

Speaker 2 (13:55):
But really what he's doing is making things an obstacle
course for the player. He's a diva by proxy. Now,
if you're gonna be a diva. You want to be
a diva. You don't want to be a diva by proxy.
That's the worst kind of diva. You don't even get
the benefits of being a diva if you're a diva
by proxy. So when he thinks, oh, I'll help my

(14:18):
kid out, and your dad's really painting a bullseye on
the back of the kid. Because the fans see this,
they get all worked up. The locker room gets worked up,
the quarterback room gets worked up. The coaches all see this,
All of this because Roma Dunze didn't catch a single
pass last week. Instead of Rome a Dunday keeping his

(14:39):
head down, it's Rome is burning. Rome is burning. Now
it's a full blown hullaballoo. It is a hullaballoo, a
soap opera, a soap opera where dad can't log off
social media and the world needs to hear every thought
from the dad. Now, this story is not going to vanish.

(15:00):
It is not because inevitably, Roma Dunsay, the wide receiver
for the Bears, is gonna have another stinker and everyone's
gonna run to social media. Well, what did his dad say? Well,
I don't know what his dad said. I don't know
where he is. Oh, can we give a find his dad,
let us know what's going on with that. So it's
like instant oatmeal. This story is like instant oatmeal. You
just add a little bit of water or in this

(15:21):
case what used to be known as Twitter now X
and a bad take, and.

Speaker 1 (15:26):
We're off to the races.

Speaker 2 (15:28):
Off to the races to find the pot of gold
at the end of the rainbow.

Speaker 1 (15:32):
Now blasting, we go to Jersey, New Jersey, where.

Speaker 2 (15:37):
The New York Giants play their games, and kicker Graham Gano,
don't you know. Graham Gano told the media a Real
SOB story this week that he has received death threats
every single week since sports betting.

Speaker 1 (15:56):
Became legalized in the United States.

Speaker 2 (15:58):
He said, quote everyone else's frustration, media fans shoot. Ever
since sports betting started happening, Graham Gano stated, I get
people telling me to kill myself every week.

Speaker 1 (16:15):
Graham Gano said.

Speaker 2 (16:17):
A quote continues he says, because I'll hit a kick
that loses them money. Gano said, I'll miss a kick
and it loses them money. It was the other day
that someone told me to get cancer and die. I
mean that stuff is part of it. Gano said close
quote all right, so that's a solid hoppity hop off that.

(16:40):
So the question Giants kicker Graham Gano, as we just said,
revealing that he gets death threats every week, he claims
it's because of sports betting.

Speaker 1 (16:49):
That is blank. All right, now I'm gonna fill in
the word here. Fill in the blank. My word for
the question.

Speaker 2 (16:56):
Graham Gano revealing that he gets death threats every week
because of sports betting is blank.

Speaker 1 (17:03):
My word is avoidable. That is my word. I'm going
with the word avoidable.

Speaker 2 (17:07):
So let's get the handkerchief out and cry me a
river crime he or if it's that bad, and I'm
not saying it's not, but if it's that bad, just
to activate your social media. Put down the phone, sir,
put down the fount you can do it. Have your feet,

(17:27):
go outside and touch some grass when you're not playing football,
stay off social media because doom scrolling is not cardio.

Speaker 1 (17:36):
It is not.

Speaker 2 (17:37):
And Graham Gano is making four point five million bucks
to kick a football plausibly for the Giants, and that
makes you basically a part time employee. When you're a kicker,
you show up, you kick three, four, five times, You shower,
you go home and you have this massive wreck deposit

(18:00):
in your bank account.

Speaker 1 (18:02):
So boooooo.

Speaker 2 (18:05):
Some dope who lost fifty dollars on a five team
parlay fired off a rage message to Graham Gano, fake
tough guys, block up, block their asses, as Marcel and
Brooklyn says, you.

Speaker 1 (18:18):
Know who made this bed the NFL.

Speaker 2 (18:21):
They're swimming in the deep end of the sports wagering world.
I like gambing, obviously, I'm a TV show or a
YouTube show now Benny versus the penny, which is involved
in that world. However, I also understand with anything, there's
gonna be a certain percentage of people that don't handle

(18:44):
their business. It's like alcohol. There's people that drive drunk
and they're moron. They shouldn't do it. People with any
kind of vice in the world, there's gonna be a
certain percentage of people that eff it up. They shouldn't
f it up for the rest of us, right, And
so there's always me, some guy who's got two jobs
and he's trying to win parlays, which never do anyway,

(19:06):
to try to make the big money. It's a come on,
So just block them, as we said. But the NFL
they're the ones they opened up Pandora's box.

Speaker 1 (19:14):
What's in the box? A lot of money? A lot
of money.

Speaker 2 (19:17):
Now everyone's shocked that there's a little bit of venom
in the inbox or in the direct message of the
dms and all that stuff. But listen, I've never kicked
in my life. I've never played in an NFL game
in my life, and I behind these microphones, I get
some of the most foul messages sent to me, the

(19:38):
hate mail. I get death threats because of a sports
take on an overnight radio show. How dumb do you
have to be to send something like that?

Speaker 1 (19:48):
In right?

Speaker 2 (19:51):
And I'm making chicken feed next to Graham Gano. Don't
you know, if you're a kicker, you've already won the lottery.
You didn't win the genetic lottery because you're a kicker,
but you won the lottery. Stay off social media, kick
the ball straight, stay off social media.

Speaker 1 (20:06):
And kicker is like not even a real football thing.

Speaker 2 (20:09):
It's you're a contractor with a helmet, but you're making
a lot of money.

Speaker 1 (20:13):
And this is the job.

Speaker 2 (20:15):
You sign up for it, you take the check, and
any kind of job has a few bumps in the road.
I'm not sitting here saying, well, oh boo, I get
I get threats made to me. I'm like, I don't care.
I don't go on there during day. It doesn't me
I go on there during the show. I very rarely
go on there. Maybe I'll peek in once or twice
during the week. I'll pop on it.

Speaker 1 (20:36):
But that's it. So there's a few morons that have DMS.

Speaker 2 (20:39):
Okay, if that's the worst part of your gig, all right,
then it's still one of the great gigs you could
possibly have.

Speaker 1 (20:49):

Speaker 2 (27:13):
It doesn't mean you have to pick them every Oh
my god, all right, what's the point of doing the
bit if you just got like I like the Rams.

Speaker 1 (27:21):
If you watch.

Speaker 2 (27:22):
Benny versus the Benny, I took the Niners this weekend,
but by what's the point? Seriously, all right, let's go
down to a professional voiceover artist, one of the great
minds and media and really the future of sports talk radio,
Marcel in Brooklyn, for the big toss to the Koop
Scoop on Entertainment.

Speaker 1 (27:40):
Hello, Marcel in Brooklyn.

Speaker 6 (27:43):
Ah, good morning, Ben, Lorena and Kopsy Looke. And thank
you Shane and Edmondson and roberts Well for supporting me

That's next year. Keep the bolt in and believe in me,

(28:04):
Scoop on Entertainment. The early one starts right here and
right now. It's a Fox Horns Radio predison on Friday
way for here.

Speaker 2 (28:14):
It my man, my man, all right, hurry up, Shirley
Scott wants you to hurry up, hurry up, hurry.

Speaker 6 (28:21):
Take it away.

Speaker 3 (28:22):
Thank you, Marcel. All Right, there's a there's a lot
this weekend as far as entertainment goes that I want
to point out. And we're gonna start in the theaters
as always, and this is gonna be it's gonna be
a tough one. I mean an exciting one for me.
Two of my favorite actresses have new movies this weekend,
both Jennifer Lawrence and Sidney Sweeney.

Speaker 1 (28:43):
Yes, interesting, back to back.

Speaker 3 (28:47):
I might, I might have to do that.

Speaker 1 (28:49):
Which one will I go to first, though, that's the question.

Speaker 7 (28:51):
I think.

Speaker 2 (28:51):
I think Jennifer Lawrence because she's been on longer, you know.

Speaker 1 (28:55):
Yeah, she's been on she's been on your radar longer
than Sidney Sweeney.

Speaker 3 (28:58):
That's true. And Sidney, So this isn't exactly a role
where she's a hot exactly.

Speaker 1 (29:08):
Well, it should be more than about her. No, no,
you're this is not her acting your capabilities.

Speaker 3 (29:13):
Lorena is right. This may be her best role as
far as acting goes. We'll see, Uh, she is coming out.

Speaker 1 (29:19):
And they'll put people in movies coming out.

Speaker 3 (29:22):
She is coming out in the movie Christy, where she
will play the Hall of Fame boxer Christy Martin. And yeah,
this one's got.

Speaker 1 (29:32):
Pretty good Christie Martin.

Speaker 3 (29:34):
All right, yeah, pretty good reviews so far in theaters.
And then back to Jennifer Lawrence. She will be in
a movie called Die My Love and it is a
uncompromising portrait of a woman in gulf by love and madness.
And her co star in this will be Robert Pattinson,
and the early reviews from critics are saying this is

(29:57):
a tour de forced performance from Jennifer Lawrence. So yeah,
maybe a potential potential Oscar nod here for this one. Yes,
Nick Nolty and Sissy Spasic also star in this movie
that's still around.

Speaker 1 (30:10):
Yes, good for them.

Speaker 3 (30:12):
And then, last, but not least, I have to mention
this even though I have zero interest at all, but
I know a lot of people will. Predator bad Lands
is in theater. It's it's the latest Predator movie. You know,
Alien versus Predator, that that kind of thing.

Speaker 1 (30:26):
I think you guess how many I've seen of those movies.
Zero that You're right, you win.

Speaker 2 (30:30):
You guy, me too.

Speaker 3 (30:31):
I mean, I've seen all the Alien movies, but I
have except for Alien Versus Predator, I've not seen any
Predator movies. I just like that one scene where it
like comes out of its stomach exactly. Yeah, that's Alien,
not not Predator. But El Fanning stars in this one,
and shocking the reason I bring it up. It's got
great reviews from the critics and even better reviews from audiences,

(30:52):
so it's an enjoyable film apparently, so check that out
if you're a fan. Moving over to television, a couple
of things I want to point out. The first is
a new movie called or limited series called Death by Lightning.
This is on Netflix. It's available right now, and it's
such it's an interesting premise. I'm surprised they were able

(31:13):
to get like a whole limited series from this, but
it chronicles the assassination of President James Garfield. So yeah,
it is produced by the makers of Loss, some of
my favorite producers, so I might check it out for
that reason alone. But it's stars Nick Offerman, Matthew McFadden,

(31:35):
Betty Gilpin, lots of lots of big names there, and
so check that out on Netflix. It's got good reviews
from critics. Frankenstein also comes out Gammero del Toros Frankenstein.

Speaker 1 (31:45):
I mentioned that Halloween was last week.

Speaker 3 (31:48):
It came out in theaters a couple of weeks ago,
but it was like a limited release. So now it's
you know, everybody can see it on Netflix. And then
last but not least, I have to mention it, but.

Speaker 1 (31:58):
Here we go. This is the walk off, this is
the big hitter right here, here we go that's right.

Speaker 3 (32:03):
The highly anticipated follow up from Vince Gilligan, the creator
of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, Plurabis.

Speaker 1 (32:11):
It premieres on That's a mouthful. I don't know, that's
a mouthful, Plurabis's you know.

Speaker 3 (32:17):
It is a It's available right now on Apple TV,
and it is a drama slash sci fi where the
most miserable person on earth must save the world from happiness.
That is the tagline, and.

Speaker 1 (32:30):
