Speaker 2 (01:55):
This is the final hour for us this week.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
The podcast this week, in fact, will be live on
tape later today on that podcast the fifth hour from
Lost Wages Nevada.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
But our lead from the gambling.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
Perspective, the gambling perspective for the big Game.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
You break it all down to the nitty gritty.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
A couple more shopping days left to get your bets in,
and betters legally planned a wager.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
They claim twenty three point.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
One billion dollars this year, twenty three point one billion
dollars on the Super Bowl and a lot more illegally.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
You should not be betting illegally, beat up by you,
Wink wink, all right, So up from sixteen billion, the
extra seven billion this year. It's the Taylor Swift effect.

Speaker 1 (02:45):
And listen now, the biggest voice in sports gambling in
terms of people actually know what they're talking about is
not me, believe it or not, but it is a
guy that chimed in on the point spread and had
some interesting things to say, and I thought it was
worthy of bringing to your attention. You might have missed it,
perhaps you're not that invested in this stuff, but this

(03:06):
is the most wagered event of the year, so I
thought it was interesting and I wanted to bring it up.
A guy named Billy Walter. So are you familiar with
Billy Walters. He is renowned in sports wagering. He is
regarded as the by far the most successful sports better
of all time, and he has come out and announced

(03:29):
that the point spread in Super Bowl fifty eight is
off tremendously and that the sports books have the wrong
team favor Say what Billy Walter said quote they made
the line on the game forty nine Ers by two,
and at the time he did this interview recently, he

(03:49):
said it was up to two and a half.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
It is up to two and a half in some places.
The line I'm looking.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
At here is two, he said. I think this is
from Billy Walters. Kansas City should be a two point favorite.
I've got the other side favorite. So that's a big difference.
That's a four point difference, and if you're a gambler,
you know that that's a big deal if you can
get an extra four points. Now, Walters likes it so much.

(04:12):
He says he's going to make a small bet on
Super Bowl fifty eight.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
How much is he gonna bet?

Speaker 1 (04:17):
Uh somewhere between five hundred and one million dollars on
Kansau City. So when you're watching, maybe you won't bet
the game. Maybe you have you're not a gambler, maybe
you've had too much gambling, got in trouble.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
But when you're watching that game, you.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
Realize that this cat, this jimoke has a million dollars
on Kansas City in that game. He says that's small
by his standing. I think he was just flexing, all right.
So the question how much weight do you put into
Billy Walters and the Super Bowl point spread analysis?

Speaker 2 (04:52):
Analysis?

Speaker 1 (04:53):
So I've got Marvel Comics, the final rows, and the booth,
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are going to make a Malor movement.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
A Malord movement.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
Now, our friend ed in Spokane and Christina in Spokane,
one of the great couples that listens to the show
ed in Spokane and Christina are in Portugal right now,
and they're on a nice European vacation and they're listening
to the show while they're in Portugal. Like, no, no,
I'm not ripping them. I'm flattered that they're listening. But
if you are going on a globe trekking tour to

(05:31):
an exotic location that you have not been to before,
what are you doing listening to the show. But I'm
honored that you're all right anyway, So get to the
point to lead off here, to answer the question how
much weight do you put into the Billy Walters comments
on the Super Bowl point.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
Spread being wrong. When Billy Walters talks, people listen. Maybe
not you, but I listen. Right. He's the godfather of
sports betting.

Speaker 1 (05:56):
This guy's story is fascinating and I've read a lot
about him over the years.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
He's written a book what recently. Was born in rural Kentucky.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
He's seventy seven years old, and for all intents purposes,
he's the underboss of the Wagering on Sports World.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
He commands the room.

Speaker 1 (06:14):
Most people who get into betting on sports are amateurs.
They're neophytes and the house ends up taking their money.
This guy Walters is in the one percent and he
has been pretty open about bragging about how much money
he's made. Which say that's an issue or whatever, but

(06:35):
lifestyles are the rich and famous.

Speaker 2 (06:37):
He has won so much that he's not.

Speaker 1 (06:40):
Allowed to gamble, see one of the ugly sides the
gambling world does not like to talk about. If you're
actually good and you win, they don't like you, they
don't want you, They ban you. And Billy Walters had
won so much over the years that he got banned
from making large wages.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
Now when I say, man, what they do is they don't.

Speaker 1 (07:03):
Stop you from betting. They just limit how much you
can bet. And if you're winning all the time, you
want to bet more. Why wouldn't you You're winning at
a high rate. Now I don't win all the time,
he loses too. So what he has had to do,
this guy Billy Walters has gone out and hired gambling
They call him gambling syndicates or essentially beards people pretending

(07:24):
not to know Billy Walters. He pays people to travel
to Vegas on the weekends during football season just to
bet his money. To pretend like it's their money and
think of it like Marvel Comics. If you're thinking of
it like Marvel, Billy Walters is the conan, the barbarian
of this. So if he says the points spreads off,

(07:48):
then yes, he's a wise old soul. You listen now,
It doesn't mean that the forty nine ers aren't gonna
win by thirty points. It just means that going into it,
that's why they play the game is the wrong team
is fair?

Speaker 2 (08:01):
Right now? Furthermore, we head to Dallas.

Speaker 1 (08:04):
Follow up to a previous malamanologue, Jerry Jones has picked
his poison. He had Ron Rivera on one side, Rex
Ryan and the other and up top Mike Zimmer, and
Survey says, we are told the Dallas Cowboys, those Cowboys
are going to hire Mike Zimmer. Zim is back.

Speaker 2 (08:26):
He would be the new defensive coordinator, former Viking head
coach for a long time. So what is your take
on the Cowboys going with Mike Zimmer as the defensive coordinator?
So my initial thought.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
Is not as much fun, not as much fun as
it could have been. I did a rant in the
other show about Rex Ryan and Rex and Jerry together
would just be sweet harmony, be wonderful.

Speaker 2 (08:53):
Zimmer. Eh. You know, I don't hate Zimmer, He's fine,
He's a season coach.

Speaker 1 (08:59):
But Jerry Jones decided, after a thorough review of all
the candidates, he gave Zim the final rows.

Speaker 2 (09:07):
And my theory on that.

Speaker 1 (09:08):
Is because there's a past. There's a long standing relationship
between these two cats.

Speaker 2 (09:14):
They go way back.

Speaker 1 (09:15):
They work together in the nineties, and Zimmer was on
the Barry Switzer staff in nineteen ninety four. I think
he was hired by Switzer. He stayed there for twelve
years and then bounced around the NFL, but eighteen years
later reunited and it feels so good as Mike Zimmer
now sixty seven. And I've determined, based on his interviews

(09:38):
with the Vikings, that Mike Zimmer is equal parts cantankerous.
He's equal parts grumpy, right. He gets testing, He's annoyed
rather easily. He's also one of these guys that shoots
from the hip and generally does not hide how he
feels about a player.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
He doesn't bite his tongue.

Speaker 1 (09:58):
So how is that going to make with the pampered,
spoiled modern athlete in Dallas and other NFL cities, things
will likely become contentious, so that will be good for business.
The Cowboys defense will have a bad game, Zimmer will
call somebody out and flag us up, and we're off
to the races, all right, party shot. Very rarely will

(10:20):
you hear an NFL owner put one of his players in.

Speaker 2 (10:24):
A body bag, body bag, buddy bag. But that happened.
It's like a scene from a mob movie.

Speaker 1 (10:30):
Woodie Johnson, the Jets owner, port gasoline all over Zach
Wilson and.

Speaker 2 (10:36):
Tossed a match on top just to see what happened.

Speaker 1 (10:39):
Be talking about Zack Wilson's twenty twenty three season, he
could have, would have, should have for the Jets.

Speaker 2 (10:46):
Whatdy?

Speaker 1 (10:46):
Johnson explaining what the Jets need in twenty twenty four quote,
you need a backup quarterback. We didn't have one last year.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
Let me repeat that for those of you that are
a little slow because it's early in the morning.

Speaker 1 (11:04):
The Jets owner, talking about what the Jets need, said,
you need a backup quarterback.

Speaker 2 (11:10):
We didn't have one last year.

Speaker 3 (11:12):
Hello.

Speaker 2 (11:15):
Now.

Speaker 1 (11:15):
When asked if the Jets would be looking for a
new backup quarterback Woody Johnson, he answered yes, So can
you unravel why why Jets owner Woody Johnson buried Zach Wills.
That is a punch to the solar plexus. So here's

(11:35):
my theory. Like Woody Johnson, it's kind of feeling a
little frisky. He opened up the medicine cabinet like Jim
Mersey would grab the pill bottle, and he grabbed the
wrong bottle and took the one that said truth serum.
He took the truth serum. Bad job by him. Then
Woody Johnson went into the booth. Who's in the booth?

(11:56):
Of course, this was the confessional booth. Bless me, Father,
for I have sinned. I drafted Zach Wilson as my quarterback.
God forbid from BYU. And he stinks to high heaven.

Speaker 2 (12:12):
So yeah, and it's true.

Speaker 1 (12:13):
Zach Wilson has sucked from head to toe. He has
been historically bad. He has been as bad as quarterbacks
were bad forty to fifty years ago in the NFL period.
Hartstop failed to live up to the hype, had a
golden opportunity with the team of mixed with veteran and
young players last season and couldn't get it done. Could

(12:36):
not get it done, failed to provide the spark.

Speaker 2 (12:40):
There was no spark.

Speaker 1 (12:41):
He was like a book of matches that had been
dropped into the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and.

Speaker 2 (12:47):
You pull it out, You're like, all right, what do
we got? Not good? It is the Ben Mallor Show.

us here as it is a speakeasy kind of a Friday,
but we'd love to have you, and there is a

in the podcast. So if you want to hear people
saying words that aren't supposed to be said, you can

a wild one alimd Lou from the Bay versus Keg
Drinking Steve. That alone a name, Keg Drinking Steve. You

this hour, I'm done. They don't shut the network off,

but that's it. The Coop scoop on entertainment. The Coop
scoop on entertainment. And I've told you that I think
the Chiefs are going to win. I'll explain more of
that on the TV show Benny Versus the Penny this weekend.
But there is a negative there's a positive stat for
the forty nine ers, a negative stat for the Chiefs.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
If you believe in.

Speaker 1 (14:16):
The power of laundry, the power of laundry, we'll get
to that and we will do it.

Speaker 2 (15:43):
I did want to mention this.

Speaker 1 (15:44):
I don't think we got to it earlier because we
got carried away with the Octagon which is worthy of
getting carried away with. But there was a very interesting
moment at the award show last night, the NFL Honors
award show where they give out all the different honors
and the MVP. Mar Jackson won the MVP. They gave
out the Coach of the Year award.

Speaker 2 (16:06):
I think we have some audio on this.

Speaker 1 (16:07):
I know it was ready to go, but we had
There's an actor named Justin Hartley.

Speaker 2 (16:12):
Are you familiar with who that is?

Speaker 3 (16:13):
I don't.

Speaker 2 (16:13):
I don't really know who that is, but apparently he's
a big deal. I don't know who that is from Smallville?
Does that do anything for you?

Speaker 8 (16:21):
I used to watch Smallville, but that's such an old show,
but I don't know who that is.

Speaker 1 (16:26):
His credits are Smallville and this is US.

Speaker 8 (16:31):
Well this is US as a current show, So okay.

Speaker 1 (16:33):
So this guy was on the stage and he was
announcing the NFL Head Coach of the Year. The Cleveland
Brown's head coach won the honors, and this is how
he announced the Cleveland Brown's head coach, Kevin Stefanski winning
the Coach of the Year.

Speaker 9 (16:53):
And the AP Coach of the Year Presentive Horizon is
Stephen Stefanski. Sorry, oh yeah, looks like the Oscars or something.

Speaker 2 (17:07):
Yeah, very much.

Speaker 9 (17:09):
Unfortunately Stephen or Kevin couldn't be here tonight, so we're
happy to accept this ward on his weal.

Speaker 2 (17:15):
Thank you very much, okare Yeah, Steven Stefans, you got
one job. One job.

Speaker 1 (17:24):
Remember when Steve Harvey announced I think it was Miss
Columbia had won beauty tournament or contest whatever, and it
was the other woman had won.

Speaker 2 (17:32):
Yes, yes, that was outstanding.

Speaker 7 (17:35):
We had that for Best Picture right in the Oscars
one year too, right, Oh.

Speaker 8 (17:39):
What yeah, yeah, they said the wrong movie.

Speaker 2 (17:41):
Okay, yeah, that's good.

Speaker 8 (17:44):
La La Land that was the wrong one.

Speaker 2 (17:48):
It's unfortunate that happened.

Speaker 8 (17:51):
And then we also had John Travolta totally butchering that
actress's name.

Speaker 1 (17:57):
Great moments in award shows, one thousand great moments in wards.
I also saw your guy at ETJ. Watt found out
he wasn't gonna win Defensive Player of the Year and
he did not show.

Speaker 7 (18:07):
Up good to NFL. He got screwed.

Speaker 1 (18:10):
Now, normally I would say that's a douchebag move, but
you're in Vegas. Why would you want to go to
an award show when you're not gonna win the award
when you should have won the award.

Speaker 2 (18:16):
You can go out and party. So I don't blame
him on that. Normally i'd be like.

Speaker 1 (18:20):
You're supposed to be there. You said you were going
to be there. That's a bad loser. But yeah, fags,
you know, sit there and watch you know, these other
dopes get up there and give.

Speaker 2 (18:30):
Speeches and all that. Not.

Speaker 1 (18:31):
Just let's go to the phones. Let's say hello to
Let's go to Tom, who's in northeast Ohio.

Speaker 2 (18:37):
Hello, Tom, Welcome, big Ben Mallard.

Speaker 3 (18:41):
To make my morning morning workouts a.

Speaker 2 (18:43):
Breeze out standing? Look at that. Can you help my
morning workouts? Can you help my workouts? Please?

Speaker 3 (18:50):
You're a busy man. Beg Yeah, I was on the
treadmill when you brought up Billy Wallers at the top
of the hour during your monologue. Yeah, maybe it made
me chuckle. I was fortunate enough to be a part
of one of his syndicates like you mentioned. Oh yeah, yees, sir.
This was back in the early nineties when we still

(19:12):
had to dial up internet. Uh sure he was Uh,
he was having like you said, he was having troubles
getting down in Vegas and he had satellites all over
the country, and we were fortunate enough to know a
gentleman here in northeast Ohio that knew him personally, and uh,
me and two of my friends, we had multiple ops

(19:33):
uh to get down and uh, that was an interesting time.
He's he's definitely a legend. And I won't be surprised
that number moves in Vegas and all the betting outlets
throughout the country after that news.

Speaker 2 (19:47):
So when you were doing that, I've read about this.

Speaker 1 (19:50):
I was like, oh, that'd be great. That sounds like
a lot of fun. Did you have a good time
where you enjoying it?

Speaker 2 (19:54):
Was it great? You were betting a lot of money?

Speaker 3 (19:56):
But I was, I was, I was in college and
uh the two and a half year is that I
was fortunate enough to do this. Uh it resulting a
six h six figure uh profits for me.

Speaker 2 (20:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (20:07):
And you you were just you were you were just yeah,
I mean, you were just betting what he told you
to bey.

Speaker 3 (20:12):
He wasn't we you know? For example, you know, like
I said, it was ballap internet. It was almost insider trading,
uh in the stock marketing to release the game saved
for example, Oklahoma minus twenty four within a minute, and
it'd be a lot quicker today. Obviously the game would
move three the game would move three points, so you
were always on the right side always.

Speaker 2 (20:33):
That's nuts, man, that is yeah, that's awesome.

Speaker 3 (20:36):
I was, I was, I was. I was ten percent
of this into this operation, and it was it was
a sixth six figure net.

Speaker 2 (20:43):
Oh that's great. And yeah, you're older now, so you
don't know him anymore.

Speaker 3 (20:48):
Oh yeah, I'm in my mid fifties now. So unfortunately, unfortunately,
we probably we probably would have probably would have kept going.
But the guy that we were going through, uh, he
decided to dip his seed in the NFL football and
I think he stiffed Walters and that kind of ended everything.

Speaker 1 (21:03):
Yeah, certain people you don't want to stiff, and he
would be one of the people that you.

Speaker 3 (21:09):
Yeah, that was a great, great opening to the monologue
for the final hour. Man, I saw myself laughing on
a treadmill.

Speaker 1 (21:18):
That's great, man, Listen, I am jealous. I wish I read.
I read a book about him years ago, probably fifteen
twenty years ago, maybe longer now, and I was like,
this is amazing, Like he was hiring people at that
time and they said in the book he was having
people come to Vegas and put bets down.

Speaker 2 (21:34):
But yeah, so it's it's nuts.

Speaker 3 (21:36):
Yeah, he had them all over the country. Man, he's
definitely a legend.

Speaker 2 (21:40):
All right, Well, thanks for the story, Tom, I appreciate it.

of them. I think with you, a few of them
with me.

Speaker 2 (24:10):
So you're going to be the one where Peyton Man, Yes.

Speaker 7 (24:13):
And you did a dance picture.

Speaker 1 (24:15):
I still have a picture that that was still a
wonderful picture.

Speaker 2 (24:18):
That was against the Saints, right, that's right.

Speaker 7 (24:19):
It was Tracy Porter, I think was the guy who
picked him off and ran it for a touchdown, sealing
the win for the Saints.

Speaker 2 (24:26):
Was organic.

Speaker 7 (24:27):
So I guess you're going to be in Vegas watching
the Super Bowl. What's your what's your?

Speaker 1 (24:30):
No, I'm just going today and then I actually have
we have plans over the weekend, so I will be
super Bowl party.

Speaker 2 (24:38):
I would be back. No, just a yeah, I'll be
I don't.

Speaker 1 (24:42):
I don't like to watch at Super Bowl parties because
I'm a loser and I actually want to pay attention
to the game. And if I go to a party,
a I have to be social and I don't want
to be social, and well, of course not. And then
the other thing is I don't really pay attention to
the game, which wouldn't be a problem if I had
time later to rewatch it. But we were on a
few hour hours after the Super Bowl ends, gotcha were
Sunday night and the Monday we come back.

Speaker 2 (25:04):
What about you?

Speaker 7 (25:05):
I apparently I'm apparently gonna be watching it by myself.
My wife refuses to watch the Super Bowl, youn though
she's a huge football fan, because she hates the Chamkanas
City Chiefs and if they win, she's going to be
very upset. So if the Ford and Nits are blowing
him out, I could probably coax her out of the
bedroom where she's going to be watching like the British
Bakeoff or something like that. Boy, but she's like, she's adamant,

(25:26):
I'm not watching this super Bowl now.

Speaker 1 (25:28):
Does she know that if that's the case, she's going
to miss a lot of Super Bowls because Mahomes is
in the prime of his career.

Speaker 7 (25:33):
No, she didn't want to know about that. Okay, yeah,
she's better, she's.

Speaker 1 (25:36):
A better plans Eddie. We a big spread cooking?

Speaker 7 (25:40):
I mean I don't. I don't think so since I'm
by myself, but you know, maybe maybe, uh yeah, I'm
gonna have to try something though.

Speaker 2 (25:48):
Yeah, you don't want to fast during.

Speaker 7 (25:49):
The sup something there at least by a pie.

Speaker 2 (25:52):
I might crank up the griddle and make a cheese
steak or something like that. Why not?

Speaker 1 (25:56):
What the hell it is The Ben Mahler Show, as
we continue on through these overnight hours.

Speaker 2 (26:03):
And hey, let me tell you about Express Pros.

Speaker 1 (26:06):
Let Express Employment Professionals help hire your next pro. Forget
about posting jobs, sifting through resumes and interviews with unqualified applicants.

The coop scoop on entertainment. Hooray for HOLLYW. Hoor right
for HOLLYW. And here the man of the house right now,

(26:29):
he is the coop a loop. Thank you, Ben, You're welcome, Coop,
You're welcome.

Speaker 8 (26:37):
We're gonna start off with some entertainment news.

Speaker 1 (26:41):
Yeah, I heard Iheart's Got a Curb Your Enthusiasm podcast.

Speaker 2 (26:45):
I actually might listen to that. I usually don't listen
to the you know, I might listen to that one.

Speaker 8 (26:52):
That's is it like a rewatch podcast?

Speaker 2 (26:55):
Yeah, it's like the characters talk.

Speaker 1 (26:56):
Okay, I guess that's the final season this year and
so they're talking.

Speaker 2 (26:59):
Yeah, I watched that.

Speaker 8 (27:01):
I Actually it seems crazy because I've I've heard a
lot of these commercials for these types of podcasts, like
during our show, and I thought, like, somebody's gonna like
listen to a podcast where they just the stars of
the show rewatched the show that they were in. And
here I am listening to one of these podcasts. That's
what happens, which I might actually appear.

Speaker 2 (27:23):
On celebrity appearance by the Cooper Loop.

Speaker 8 (27:27):
That's right. I've been listening to the Boy Meets World
rewatch podcasts and I was on an episode of that.
So there's there have been talks talks keep us posted, Yes,
absolutely so. Over to the entertainment news, we do have
the Oscars, the top award in all of you know,

(27:48):
movie entertainment, Yes, cinema and that is coming up, I
believe at the beginning of March.

Speaker 2 (27:55):
Uh.

Speaker 8 (27:55):
The news that I have for you is that they
are adding a new category to the Oscars. Now. The
category won't be added until twenty twenty six for some reason.
I don't know why they can't add it to next
year's Oscars.

Speaker 2 (28:10):
But what bureaucracy that's become if they have to wait till.

Speaker 8 (28:13):
Twenty twenty six, right, yeah, because so stupid, I know,
I don't I don't understand. But anyway, the new category
is for casting, so best casting. They will honor the interesting,
the casting directors. And with this new cattle you know, do.

Speaker 1 (28:30):
You know Ken Levine who's worked in radio for a
long time, he's a writer. He says, that's the most
important part of the showm is the casting.

Speaker 8 (28:37):
Yeah, it would be, yeah, and I do think it's
It's definitely something that should be recognized.

Speaker 1 (28:42):
He says, if you have a bad rider, you can
fire the writer, but if you have a bad cast,
it's hard to change the cast. Yea, you can't change everybody.

Speaker 8 (28:51):
Yeah, that's that's a good point. It's a good point.

Speaker 7 (28:53):
So there's one woman who does is always like movies.
I like seems like she's always the casting director.

Speaker 1 (28:59):
It's like it's the same thing like sports, right, if
you have bad players like you can't get rid of,
they're essentially the GM.

Speaker 2 (29:06):
Of the movie. Yeah, exactly right.

Speaker 8 (29:09):
But yeah, so with this new category, they're hoping some
other categories that have long been called for will will
be added, such as a recognition for voice actors as
well as and I don't know if they would combine this,
but people that do the uh what I'm blanking on
the term, you know, where they wear the stuff and

(29:32):
they move around and it's their body. Thank you, motion capture.

Speaker 2 (29:36):
I thought you're going furries, no, no.

Speaker 8 (29:40):
Motion capture because like people like like Andy Serkis, for example,
who has played Gollum and Caesar and Planet of the Apes.
He's had amazing performances but hasn't gotten recognized for any
of those. And it's like it's weird because it's all
him acting. It's his movement, it's his facial expressions, it's
his voice. But then they don't consider it, you know,

(30:03):
an acting role. It's really weird. But hopefully that changes
now that they've been you know, adding some new categories.
Moving on to what is premiering this weekend. Honestly, there's
a couple of movies in theaters, but they don't really
stand out to me, so I'm not gonna mention them.
I'm going to move over to television. And this one
has been out for a couple of weeks now, but
I just caught it. How do you guys feel? You

(30:25):
like true crime? Right, Ben?

Speaker 1 (30:28):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (30:29):
My wife is addicted to it, so I'll tell her
about it. What is it?

Speaker 8 (30:33):
It's a show on Netflix. It's a three episode mini series.
It's called American Nightmare. And this is something that happens
somewhat recently, back in twenty fifteen up in Vallejo, California,
and I don't remember this happening when it was going on,
but it's talks about a home invasion and a kidnapping

(30:54):
in the middle of the night. This guy wakes up
and like, this group of people kidnaps girlfriend makes him
listen to music that's got the strobing lights, and then
the police don't believe him. They obviously think he did something.
And yeah, you should have watched it to find out
what happens. It's pretty pretty crazy story. But that is

(31:15):
on Netflix. All three episodes American Nightmare.

Speaker 7 (31:19):
OK yes, I'll tell the wife about it. I'm not
gonna watch it.

Speaker 8 (31:23):
I binged all three episodes in a row. It was
very compelling and last but not least, this is available
the second season end. I've brought this up on Coops
Scoop Unentertainment before, but I have not watched it. So
if anybody listening has and can tell me how it is,
I'm interested. It's Tokyovice, not Miami Vice, Tokyo Vice. The
second season is out. It's getting good reviews, so obviously

(31:45):
the first season was good enough for a second one.
But should I watch it? Let me know? Malan militia.
That is Coop Scoop entertainment.

Speaker 2 (31:51):
All right, thank you.

Speaker 1 (31:52):
Don't forget the end of the rainbow for Benny versus
the Penny. This weekend our final show, the ending show
for season.
