Speaker 1 (00:00):
Omaha, Omaha. It's audible time. Our number four, Our number four.
We go now to North Carolina, where Bill Belichick is
making headlines yet again.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
Is North Carolina.

Speaker 1 (00:12):
Risking its own identity and culture by leaning so hard
on Bill Belichick and his fame? He got an endorsement
from the school president. And rather than build on the
team from within and all that, North Carolina, they're doubling
down on Belichick. Also, Belichick was ranked as the fifty
fourth best coach in college football by CBS, So we'll

(00:35):
address that. Is that legitimate based on his coaching ability
or some kind of media stunt? And we'll go to
the forty nine ers where brock Purty just ink the
two hundred and sixty five million dollar deal. He says,
quote the forty nine or Super Bowl windows one hundred
percent still open. Is he right? Have a wonderful Friday,
don't forget Fifth Hour podcast, new episodes all weekend. I'll

(00:58):
keep your company all weekend with me and Danny g.
But here's our number four. Too like or not too like?
That's the question. Welcome in the beginning of another hour
of the Ben Malor Show. We are in the air
aywhere in alliance as we steam roll through coast, the coast, border,

(01:25):
the border and beyond on the vast and stupendously powerful
microphones of FSR amminating live from the line as we
go across the finish line from the Fox Sports Radio studios,
and they are made possible this hour, made possible by

(01:45):
in part by tire Rak and also made possible by
our friends at Express Employment. That's unbelievable. I cannot believe it, Sam,
I am.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
I cannot believe it.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
As we are hanging out together here on the big
old radio program. And I know Pat and Airy Berry
from Cansa City pulling another all nighter.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
They are big fans of show.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
I'm sure they eat the the Ben mallor chicken fingers
there at the landing all the time, big supporters of
the show. So our lead this hour is from North Carolina,
everyone's favorite septagenarian continuing to fill up the content Kitty.
And if you've not heard the latest on this, maybe not.

(02:37):
I'm obsessed with the story. I love it so that.
There's been some debate since Bill Belichick as North Carolina coach.
He hasn't coached a game yet. There's a lot of
tabloid coverage, and last I checked, North Carolina is in
the Bible Belt, and so people asking questions, is this
university of higher learning going to allow this to continue

(03:00):
the charade of Bill Belichick and his floozy lady friend
running around and all this stuff. So, anyway, the chancellor,
which I'm told is kind of a big deal at
a college, the chancellor at the University of North Carolina,
a gentleman named Lee Roberts. Doesn't that sound like a
fake name, Lee Roberts. Anyway, he's the chancellor, we are told,

(03:21):
as I understand it, of North Carolina, and he was
asked about the situation and all this publicity, and it's
not all positive publicity.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
There's a lot of negative publicity.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
So the chancellor at North Carolina apparently goes with as
long as they spelled the name of the university.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
Correctly, we're good. We are good.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
And so there was this question about the focus of
the football program and whether or not this is actually
a good thing or a bad thing. Now, Roberts recently
explained that he has quote delighted about all the attention.
Those are his words, that's five words. Delighted about all
the attention, the Tar Hills football program is getting since

(04:07):
Bill Belichick took over a couple months back. But wait,
there's more. The chancellor at North Carolina indicated he has
not had any discussions with Bill Belichick about his relationship
with Jordaan Hudson and now now things are continuing on
the season. Is going to begin training camp for college
football be here before you know it, and then talk

(04:30):
about how that might impact the football program any of that.
He's claiming no conversations took place. Okay, so let us
discuss the question. Is North Carolina And we're just gonna
approach this from the football part of it first. But
North Carolina's chances like as long as they spelled the
name right, we're good. But is North Carolina? Some are

(04:52):
saying they're taking a risk, they're risking their own identity,
the culture of the Tar Hills by leaning so heavily,
so heavily on the Bill Belichick hype train drew instead
of focusing on building a team from within, right, I mean,
you usually you recruit players, you bring in somebody that

(05:14):
went to the university as a coach, and you normally
so my take on this, I've got Andy Warhol sparkler
and curb your enthusiasm, and we will combine all of
these things together and we're gonna make We're gonna make
Carolina whole hog barbecue with a side of Baba ganoosh
and then we'll have a plate of gabba ghoul. All right,

(05:36):
we'll have all that. So to lead off, to answer
the question, is North Carolina risking the culture? It's all
about the culture. Absolutely not. That's dumb da dub dub dub.
They have no culture, they have no identity. If they
do have a culture, it's loser capital l We're not
talking about the Ohio State University dot Theie. We're not

(06:00):
talking about Alabama or Notre Dome or sc or Michigan.
You don't. You don't hire Bill Belichick if you're good.
You hire Bill Belichick if you suck. That's why Belichick was.
I'm a believer, not as much as I used to
be about Belichick and how good a coach he is.

(06:20):
He's lost his way a little bit. But if you're
a blue blood, you don't do it. The only blue
is the Carolina blue.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
That's it. In this story.

Speaker 1 (06:29):
It is a smart move, It is a savvy move
in the modern landscape of college football. They've essentially taken
the Dion Sanders game plan, although Dion had never never
reached the level as a coach that Bill Belichick did.
But it's the same game plan. You take a big name,
you drop them in an absolute dog food football program

(06:51):
and see what they can do and just add water
and that's it. And so I think it's smart by
the North Carolina chancellor to embrace the spotlight controversy cells
public attention and popularity or fleeting anyway. So even if
everyone's up in arms and they're like, oh, I can't
believe it's so embarrassing, the attention span does not last.

(07:12):
It's the Andy Warhol, you know, fifteen minutes of fame.
Of course, in twenty twenty five, it's the TikTok cycle
of glory, if you will. Bill Belichick is in his
early to mid seventy seventy three, I believe, and so
be there for a couple of years maybe, and if

(07:33):
he's good, If he's good and things calm down with Jordan,
it's possible that the NFL comes knocking on his door
and says, hey, Bill, how would you like to coach
the Cardinals or something like that, and if it doesn't
work out, Bill will go somewhere else, be the carpetbagger
and leave town, and North Carolina will then immediately turn

(07:55):
to dust. They'll be irrelevant and that'll be that. So
it's really in the big picture. If you're the chancellor
at North Carolina, it's just a flash in the algorithm.

Speaker 2 (08:06):
Is You're just a trending topic. That's it. Now.

Speaker 1 (08:08):
Speaking of that, the people over there at CBS CBS Sports,
they released what is, I guess, an annual ranking. I've
never seen this before. I guess I don't care about it.
Now I care about it because I'm into the story
with Bill Belichick. So they have released their ranking of
the sixty eight Power four coaches in college football. And

(08:29):
you know the Powerful which is mostly like Big ten
SEC Big ten SEC, but you get the Big twelve
in there, you get the ACC So those are the
Power four and they ranked all sixty eight coaches in
those conferences. And as you might imagine, if you know
very little about college football, you likely know enough to
know that the usual suspects are at the top. Right now,

(08:50):
You've got Kirby Smart at Georgia, who's number one right
there at number one.

Speaker 2 (08:57):
You've got.

Speaker 1 (08:58):
There we go. Ryan Day is number two, number two,
and then Dabo Sweeney at Clemson somehow is still number three.
I guess they didn't watch too much Clemson football at
the beginning of last year, and so they are leading
the pack. However, what about Bill? What about I know

(09:20):
you want to you know, have you seen this? No,
you haven't seen Oh good, you haven't seen this?

Speaker 2 (09:24):
All right.

Speaker 1 (09:24):
So, as part of the ranking, again, these are the
top sixty eight coaches and all of the power for conferences,
CBS listed Bill Belichick at number fifty four, number fifty four.

Speaker 3 (09:43):
I don't have a button for that.

Speaker 1 (09:44):
You're supposed to sing number fifty fur number fifty four.
There we go. Look at that live music. All right.
So is the coaching rank an actual critique of Bill
Belichick and his ability as a coach in the college
game or is this just a publicity stunt by the

(10:05):
evil demons over.

Speaker 2 (10:08):
There at CBS.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
So the scales are leaning towards attention. Grab capital a
for attention. Now, this is relatively silly, like we're talking
about Bill Belichick.

Speaker 2 (10:20):
And even if you think Belichick.

Speaker 1 (10:22):
Has lost his way, and you know he's on the
spectrum now with some of the stuff that he's doing.
The man at his peak, he's been part of eight
Super Bowl championship teams, most of those as a head coach,
the architect of the modern dynasty when they said they
couldn't do it. And while he certainly had Tom Brady,

(10:43):
and Tom Brady was the meat and potatoes of that,
Bill Belichick filled out the roster, saved Robert Kraft a
lot of money so he could get those nice massages
as the orchards of Asier DAYSPA saved them a lot
of money. And so you've got that, and you're putting
him fifty fourth on the college football coaching list.

Speaker 2 (11:02):
You're telling me.

Speaker 1 (11:02):
There's fifty three dudes in Power conference football that are living, breathing,
walking around with whistles on the sideline, that are able
to out coach, out, scheme out, prepare all that crap.
Bill Belichick, come one, you know what that is boso stuff.

(11:24):
That's boso bozo. The climbs and this whole thing. I
know why you do it, and I admit I'm falling
for it because I saw this and I was like, oh,
that's kind of dumb. It's a sparkler. That is a sparkler.
And I've tried to explain this and we don't do lists,
you know, Terry and England. Anytime I even think about
doing a list, I don't do it because lists are cheap.

(11:47):
It's a little bit of a crutch when you do
a list. There's an art to it, though. No I
do Big Ben's Big Board, which is not a list.
I do Big Ben's Big.

Speaker 2 (11:57):
Board, definitely not a list.

Speaker 1 (11:59):
And so I don't believe because when you do a list,
you're doing it to spark engagement, and these things go
on social media.

Speaker 2 (12:08):
I remember the late great TJ Simers.

Speaker 1 (12:09):
I was buddies with TJ and saw him a lot.
You know. He passed away last last year and we
spent some time together at the end of his life
and we were little things that came up somewhere along
the way.

Speaker 2 (12:20):
We're talking about this, and when you do a list, right,
you've got to throw some.

Speaker 1 (12:24):
Outrageous thing in there, just a pinch of controversy, because
that gets attention. If you do the obvious, no one cares,
no one pays attention, nobody reacts to that.

Speaker 4 (12:36):
Right.

Speaker 1 (12:37):
It's it's the car accident that people react, all right, Now,
last thing. We now leave Chapel Hill, North Carolina. We
say goodbye for now to Spacoli and then he lives there.
And now we go across to Alameda Loo Territory in
the Bay Area, although he's far away from the where
the forty Ninitards plays. So brock perty just InCD a

(13:00):
two hundred and sixty five million dollars deal. That's that
even or Nesto thinks that's a lot of money. He's
a big forty nine fan. That's a lot of cash.
So and he says, quote, the forty nine or Super
Bowl window is one hundred percent still open. Question is
he right?

Speaker 2 (13:21):
Brock pretty said it.

Speaker 1 (13:22):
He said, after getting one hundred and eighty one million,
possibly up to two hundred sixty five million, he says,
the forty nine or Super Bowl window is one hundred
percent still open?

Speaker 2 (13:31):
Is he right?

Speaker 5 (13:33):
So?

Speaker 1 (13:33):
I would like to quote my favorite TV show of
the last thirty years, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and the great
Larry David, the great Larry David, who famously would say, eh,
I don't think so it's certainly not one hundred percent,
it's not ninety percent, it's not eighty percent. Keep going.

Speaker 2 (13:58):
And when I say that, I'm not kidding.

Speaker 1 (14:00):
How about I would say the Niners Super Bowl window
at this point is twenty percent. That's a two hundred
batting average that it's it's open twenty percent, but eighty
percent closes. Big money, big problems. I heard that soone.
I think that's been a song, Big money, big problem.
The deal changes everything. Brock Party was the budget friendly,

(14:21):
feel good Cinderella, you know, mister irrelevant, and now he's
the Oligark franchise quarterback. Which, don't get me wrong, I'm
happy for rock Perdy. It's great, wonderful mitzvah, for generations
of Rock Perty's family. He can buy the biggest bass
fishing boat you can possibly imagine. Good for him, right, great, mitzvah.

(14:44):
There's just a little problem. And I know deep down
that the Niner fans knows you have given mister average,
who does not possess elite ability, the big money. You
have violated the hippocratic oath of football.

Speaker 2 (15:04):
You're not supposed to do that. He's not elite.

Speaker 1 (15:07):
And we're convinced that you know that the windows closing
rapidly by the minute here and wide open, he says,
wide open with the come on, come on, it's not
wide open now. Perty claimed that he took less Now
he was caught in a bit of a lie here.

(15:28):
He claims he took less money like he's he's helping out.
He's he's a real chariot for the for the forty
nine or franchise there, he's helping them out, very charitable.
He says he took less money to help the forty
nine ers build a better team around him in the
Bay Area. However, I don't know how true that is,

(15:53):
because is it true that there are whispers that brock
Party had no leverage, no level bridge. That makes this
contract even more bonkers for the forty nine ers. Makes
you question what Lynch and Shanahan are doing.

Speaker 2 (16:11):
What are you doing?

Speaker 1 (16:12):
Right?

Speaker 2 (16:12):
We're hearing that how many teams, how many NFL.

Speaker 1 (16:16):
Teams I'm not going to include the Canadian Football League,
but how many teams reached out and called the forty
nine ers this offseason and said, hey, what would it take?
How many first round picks? How many players would it
take to get brock Purty. You gotta pay him. He's
not worth the money, we'll pay him. There's probably seven
or eight teams. There's a lot of teams that have

(16:37):
terrible cordus, so it's probably seven eight. Do you have
a guess? Was it eight? Was it seven?

Speaker 5 (16:43):
No?

Speaker 1 (16:43):
What do you think? Five? They had to be five,
at least five teams. There are many teams that don't
have cop so I had to be five, right, Like
the New Orleans Saints said, hey, we want we want
brock Purty. Can we Cleveland Browns? Can we get Brockert? Well,
little birdie named Adam Schefter tells us that the teams

(17:04):
that need a quarterback, not a single one of them.
Zippo Bupkis contacted the forty nine ers, and the way
he said it was that they all said, oh, listen,
brock Perty's a great player for them, not that brock
perty is a great.

Speaker 2 (17:23):
Player, just a great player for them.

Speaker 1 (17:26):
You know what that means? That's right, the plot thickens.
That is confirmation. I'm gonna do a victory Lapa. I'm
gonna walk around with like a rooster with my chest
out and a peak cock with my feathers in the
air everywhere, because that is confirmation of what I have
been saying. I have been validated. That is hot take validation.

(17:47):
You're listening to live coverage of hot Take validation. That
report by Schefter prove it. The NFL believes brock Purty
system quarterback. There's some quarterback. He is dependent on Shanahan
scheming him up. He's not that good. The Niners pay

(18:09):
the guy not that good one hundred and eighty one
million dollars. That, my friends, is a disaster. Oh my god.
And again this is why the Rams and the Cardinals
and the and the Seahawks are celebrating good times right,
Happy days are here again. Happy days are here again?

(18:32):

But thank you for being concerned, you and Alf the

(21:38):
Alien opinter. But as I have pointed out, the penny
is a timeless word. It's in the lexicons, so it'll
be many many generations before people stop saying the penny
people still mentioned horse and buggy, they mentioned payphones haven't

Speaker 2 (22:34):
Eenie meenie, miney mo.

Speaker 1 (22:35):
Let's say hello to Mike in New Hampshire. Hello, Mike, welcome,
Ben Meller there he is, look at you, hey man.

Speaker 4 (22:48):
I just wanted to talk about Belichick for a second.
He is washed up. He's been washed up since what
twenty nineteen, twenty twenty when he met Jordan Hudson. She
the reason why he's washed up.

Speaker 1 (23:04):
Well, he would have been washed up at some point anyway,
I see her saying that. Yeah, so she's the female
the classic story man brought down by female. Right, she's
the man killer.

Speaker 4 (23:17):
I mean she's old enough. I mean, he's old enough
to be her grandfather.

Speaker 1 (23:22):
Apparently he's he's using whatever medication he needs to to
get the job done. I guess, I don't know.

Speaker 4 (23:28):
Maybe, I mean, I still think he's got a little
bit of a fuel in that gas tank of his.
But she's standing in his way.

Speaker 1 (23:36):
Yeah, well, we'll find out. I mean, there's no debating
that Patriots rosters sucked. By the time Belichick left. They
didn't have much talent there. They still don't have a
lot of talent. So he was in charge of picking
the players. He didn't pick very many good players. So, yeah,
are you saying he's the a Yoko? The classic is
Yoko owner? Right, Yoko owner situation? It's I think the

(23:58):
term is the Delilah fact where a successful man is
brought down seduced by the feminine powers, the superpowers of a.

Speaker 4 (24:06):
Beautiful woman, the superpowers of the.

Speaker 1 (24:10):
V well, whatever it takes, right, whatever, All right, thank you,
all right, very enticing woman there the Loraina. Do you
realize the power you women have, the female fatale? Do
you realize that you can overtake the life of some
of these people? Yeah? Very cunning and dangerous, the enticement.

Speaker 3 (24:29):
Yeah, we're very manipulative people.

Speaker 2 (24:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (24:32):
And in I know, in spy world like FBI Land
and CIA Land, one of the most powerful things is
the honey trap.

Speaker 2 (24:42):
Where that is that is where they get you the
honey trap.

Speaker 1 (24:45):
They use women to get a compromising video of dudes
and then they use that as black man.

Speaker 2 (24:51):
That's one of the that's one of the conspiracies. Who
is that that creep guy?

Speaker 1 (24:54):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (24:56):
They killed him in jail. What was the guy's name?

Speaker 1 (24:59):
He had a island? Yeah, yeah, like that. One of
the theories is that that he was being used as
like to entrap powerful people. Say conspiracy. I don't know
it's true. You know who might know the answer to that.
Marcel and Brooklyn, And let's go to our nick ambassador.
Marcel and Brooklyn.

lead looking for the events at tide at one one
a piece. Game two tonight Nicks Pacers eighty stern, five Pacific.

The first is the live action Lelo and Stitch movie
that's right now. Disney, of course, is just you know,

(27:34):
doing every movie in their entire history as a live
action remake.

Speaker 1 (27:39):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (27:40):
Most of them are pretty terrible. Uh.

Speaker 1 (27:42):
I want to I wonder what executive at Disney decided
this is what we need to do.

Speaker 2 (27:45):
This is the next two years or three years. This
is gonna make all of these movies.

Speaker 1 (27:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (27:49):
And see the problem is though, that he's still gonna
be seen as a success because you know, for every
like three or four of them that fail, one of
them just like knocks it out of the park and
makes a ton of money. And I guess that's all
that matters. And and this might be one of them.
It's got pretty good reviews from critics, but so far

(28:11):
the audience score is ninety three percent, So everybody's loving
this one. Lelon stitches one of those fan favorites, and
I've seen the trailers for this. It looks it looks
pretty good, you know, as far as live action remakes go.

Speaker 1 (28:25):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (28:25):
The other movie that is in theaters this weekend is
Mission Impossible, the final Reckoning.

Speaker 2 (28:34):
Until the next one.

Speaker 3 (28:35):
Yeah, that's yeah. Look, I mean maybe maybe it is
the final Reckoning because like Tom Cruise is what like
seventy five now still.

Speaker 1 (28:45):
Do but he's the lizard person, so he'll live forever.

Speaker 3 (28:47):
That's true.

Speaker 2 (28:48):
You're a lizard person, you don't die.

Speaker 3 (28:49):
That's right. Yeah, sold his soul. Now this one it's
I mean, it's getting good reviews from from critics and
fans alike, so so I probably will check this one out.
It is also available in Imax, which you know, this
is one of those movies that I think it's actually
worth it in Imax. Lots of cool, big stunts and

(29:11):
explosions and planes and stuff.

Speaker 2 (29:14):
Just make sure the popcorn is buttered.

Speaker 3 (29:16):
That's right, all right. Moving over to television, Ben, First off,
we have a new series. It's a limited series on Netflix.
It's called Sirens. It is a darkly comedic series and
it stars Kevin Bacon and Julianne Moore. And it follows
two sisters over the course of a single holiday weekend

(29:37):
at a lavish Island beach estate owned by a wealthy
socialite and philanthropist who employs the younger sister as our
personal assistant, a relationship that the older sister finds somewhat
creepy and hopes to end. And that one's getting pretty
good reviews. That it's available on Netflix right now. That
is called Sirens and moving along. We have a documentary

(29:57):
this weekend.

Speaker 1 (29:58):
Oh, here we go, all right, my wheelhouse, Here we go.

Speaker 3 (30:01):
A limited series documentary. It's a two party. It's on
HBO at eight pm tonight or available to stream on
HBO Max. And it is called Pee Wee as himself.

Speaker 1 (30:17):
That's my guy? Is that Pee Wee Herman? That is
that's my guy.

Speaker 3 (30:21):
Wasn't it like, you're not supposed to watch this stuff anymore?

Speaker 1 (30:25):
He's dead. He's okay, once you die, you can watch
the stuff.

Speaker 3 (30:27):
I think that's he got like semi canceled. But he
really shouldn't have because he didn't.

Speaker 1 (30:32):
Wasn't He wasn't normal to do that in a Is
it a porn theater?

Speaker 2 (30:38):
Wasn't it was?

Speaker 3 (30:38):
Yeah, it was a porn.

Speaker 5 (30:40):
Out.

Speaker 2 (30:41):
That's kind of what that's kind of what it's Lorena.

Speaker 1 (30:44):
When I first, when I was, when I was like,
have you know porn theater?

Speaker 3 (30:47):
Lorena, does it say please touch yourself?

Speaker 1 (30:50):
Lorena Larien, Listen, When I first when I went to
New York the first time I was, I was like nineteen,
I went to my brother moved there. I was in
Times Square. Used to be nothing but peep shows, like
they were. That's like all they had was those kind
of like porn theaters. And then what do you think
guys did in there?

Speaker 3 (31:05):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1 (31:05):
Think they were just saying they were observing.

Speaker 3 (31:09):
On the side of a freeway like regular That's basically
what those aren't anyway, exactly.

Speaker 1 (31:15):
Gosh, yeah you can't, can't, so pee wee he's dead anyway,
by the way, God has forgiven pee wee.

Speaker 3 (31:21):
Those movies were so good any anyway. Uh, it's it's
airing this. It is a two part, two hundred minute
HBO Docky series.

Speaker 1 (31:31):
I'm gonna watch that. It's on tonight.

Speaker 3 (31:32):
Starts It is on tonight at eight pm. It is
airing in its entirety, but you can also stream it
on HBO.

Speaker 1 (31:37):
I'm gonna watch that. I'm gonna right, I'm gonna try
to get that whole thing done this week.

Speaker 3 (31:40):
It offers an intimate look at the life of late
actor Paul Rubins, best known as peebe Herman.

Speaker 1 (31:46):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (31:46):
It is bolstered by archival footage, but the documentary chiefly
consists of a rare, out of character interview between the
director and the star that is edited down from over
forty hours of candid conversations between the two and critic
were impressed by the insightful documentary when it debuted at
sun Dance earlier this year.

Speaker 1 (32:05):
Okay, cool, that sounds like something I'd be into.

Speaker 3 (32:07):
Yeah. And last, but not least, there is a new
comedy series launching on FX also on Hulu as well.
It starts on Wednesday and nine pm on FX or
for streaming on Hulu. It is called Adults and it
is basically a gen Z spin on Friends. So it's
a group of twenty somethings living in New York but

(32:29):
lacking the skills required for life in the adult world.
FX comedies are usually pretty pretty good, so I'll check
it out. I'll report back to it.

Speaker 2 (32:38):
Sounds like a horror movie, not a comedy.

Speaker 3 (32:39):
But that's fine, you know, all right, I'll do And
that is Scoop Scoop on entertainment.

Speaker 1 (32:43):
All right, there it is. I thank you for that. Cool.

Speaker 2 (32:46):
We're gonna have Sports Jeopardy coming up. We got a game.

Speaker 1 (32:49):
Usually on the nights, I don't have to do monologues.
I kind of like zone out. I only watch stuff
I really want to watch. But I actually want to
watch this Knicks Pacers game. Does that make me a
bad person. I'm not a fan. I'm not a Pacer fan.
I just I want to watch to see what happens.
I want to I'm there for the drama.

Speaker 3 (33:05):
How you're enjoying sports.

Speaker 1 (33:07):
I know it's shocking and I'm not even gonna bet
on it. I'm just gonna watch. But that said, if
you do bet on it, I might You know this
this pick six thing Coop over at DraftKings. It's like
I'm looking at that and there's a couple of things
that I circled on the pick sick. Now, pick six
is so simple, you just do the more or less
on points and you know rebounds and you can do

(33:30):
For example, one I saw I was futching around on
their app, the Pick six app, and they have three
pointers made, right, and you're you're looking around, You're like,
there's there are so many offensive possessions. Neither one of
these teams plays much defense. They just don't, right, they
don't play much defense. That's just the way it is.

(33:53):
And I know I'm being a prison of the moment,
but that this guy, Aaron Nesmith, he went absolutely crazy
with all those three point shots the other day. Now,
I don't believe he'll be that good, but the the
more or less is a two and a half. You
can only go more on that. But you gotta believe
Natesmith is gonna hit at least three three point shots

(34:14):
in this game.

Speaker 2 (34:14):
So that's on. That's on DraftKings Pick six.

Speaker 1 (34:17):
And as far as like the points, like, again, no defense,
there is no defense in this game. So I a
Smith at least three three pointers. I think that. As
far as like the point thing, I usually go under
on these, but on this one, I'm like, You're gonna
go over because, like you look at the the way

(34:39):
these teams play, you know, all of a sudden going
to become a good defensive team. That is not going
to happen. But for example, Pascal siakam Marcel's favorite player
over eighteen and a half. I would go over that
over more or less. I would go over on Karl
Anthony Towns. That's a big one though, twenty t three

(35:00):
and a half. So those are some of some of
the ones that I like. In the game. Tonight, we're
gonna have Sports Jeopardy, and that's a pick six over
their draftings. So I've got Sports Jeopardy. There were some
funny lines justin in Cincinnati, said Robbie the Mariner fan
fell for the honey trap. However, unfortunately for Robbie it
was actual honey, not a woman. Uh And ferg Dog says,

(35:20):
if is Jordan Hudson hot enough to make up for
all the drama she's causing? Bill Belichick, bird Dog says, yes, eh,
I don't know about that. I don't know about that.
Chris in Ohio sys does Lorraina think you go to
a porn theater to order popcorn and enjoy a show
with your date? There you go, all right, yeah, maybe

(35:42):
let's a sweet she's a small town girl from Orgon. Hello. Uh, well,
