the border and beyond all the last and unimaginably.

from the cockpit. We are not going to go back

(02:21):
to the Thursday night game, which was a route or
route depending on where you grew up. As the Detroit Lions,
Holy Barry Sanders Batman. The Lions go to lambeau Field
and kick the snot out of the Packers, who looked
like a JV team, up twenty seven to three at halftime,
and then there was garbage time in the second half.

(02:42):
It was a dreadful performance by Green Bay. But we're
gonna talk about a team that has mastered the art
of the dreadful performance in New York, and even with
Aaron Rodgers out for the season, the Jets are fighting
neck and neck with the Broncos and the Chicago Bears,
or the very top of the totem pole or number

(03:04):
one soap opera in the NFL. Now Jet's legend. Joe
Namath the most revered figure in that pathetic franchise this
history Broadway. Joe said this week in a radio interview
that he had seen enough of Wilson wanted him to

(03:25):
take a long walk off a short peer calling for
a quarterback change. Now, Wilson responded to Joe Namath and
his condemnation, and we have the audio and you heard
about this or heard it, but maybe not. So here's
Zach Wilson on Joe Namath ripping him so as Warnerwolf
used to say, let's go to the audio tape, and

(03:48):
he's passionate.

Speaker 3 (03:49):
He's obviously was, you know, one of the greats, and
so that says an offense. We got to do everything
we can just to try and prove him on, keep
doing what we can and improve. I think the guys
are feeling very optimistic. You know, we all believe in
each other. We're all right there, so excited for this week.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
Okay, so rather buy the book there. Here's one more
from Zach Wilson.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
He was asked if he is bothered by a legend
of football announcing that he sucks.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
Here's Zach Wilson.

Speaker 3 (04:15):
Obviously, Joe was an unbelievable player. But this locker room
is very tight knit and we're working to get better.
I'm working to get better. I know I need to improve,
and I promise I'm doing everything I can to keep
trying to get better.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
And so the focus is.

Speaker 3 (04:27):
Just to rely on each other in this locker room
and lean on each other, because that's all we got
at the end of the day, and we're going to
do everything we can to keep improving.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
All right.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
So you heard the sound bite. Now we react to
the SoundBite. React to the sound bite. So the question
on this as we discuss, what is your gut reaction
to Zach Wilson's response to Joe Namath. So I've got
sticky notes, air Force, and jungle Book, and we will

(04:57):
combine all of these things together and we are going
to make a prop plane, which is what the jets
are at this point, they're a prop plane. Man, what
a mess? Prop plane with no fuel. So to kick
off here the comments by Zack Wilson. My first thought
is this plays well not in Peoria, it plays well

(05:19):
on Long Island. And as Dion Sanders would say, it's
bull junk. Nevertheless, this is one of those things where
there's a great divide. If you have a brand, you're like,
I know what that is, that's that's BS. But the uneducated,
low information fan eats that stuff up like rodents at
weed Man's house in Miami, feasting on rotting trash. Right,

(05:41):
we will concede one point that in this little chapter
of the book, Zach Wilson is coachable. Not coachable on
the field, he is coachable here off the field. This
was more choreographed than a Broadway show. And just imagine,

(06:03):
if you will, a world where Zach Wilson is in
the locker room memorizing the sticky notes, the talking points memo.
It was robotic. I give him credit. Good job by
the Jets PR department. They earned their money. Pulled Zack aside, Zach,
you're gonna be asked about Joe Namath today. Here's what

(06:23):
we wanted to say AB and C. Okay, I'll use
the boilerplate, AB and C one two three. They knew,
they knew the Broadway Joe questions were coming, and they
put up a firewall of cliches and and all the
answers were so out of character for Zach Wilson right.
He said, he's passionate. One of the greats about Joe Naman.
We we have to prove him wrong. We believe in

(06:45):
each other. We're working to get better. I'm working to
get better. I know I need to improve. He had
all the right notes, all the right notes. Keep in mind, though,
this is the same guy last year when the Jets
defense allowed three points and the Jets offense scored three points,
and he was asked whether or not the offense felt
any culpability, any responsibility for losing a game. He said no,

(07:10):
He said, no, you know, we're good.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
We're good.

Speaker 1 (07:14):
Zach has ranked at the very bottom of the NFL
and quarterback rating each of the past two seasons.

Speaker 2 (07:19):
If that sounds bad, that is more than bad.

Speaker 1 (07:23):
He's the first player to do it since the nineteen
seventy merger. That's two generations ago, and there's never been
a quarterback worse than Zach Wilson.

Speaker 2 (07:32):
Yet again, Zach Wilson is dead last.

Speaker 1 (07:36):
You realize that this could be the greatest of the worst,
that he's already got the record back to back years,
but he could.

Speaker 4 (07:44):
Do it three years.

Speaker 1 (07:45):
You talk about unbreakable records, people bring up cal Ripkens,
iron Man streak, Nolan Ryan strikeouts. Zach Wilson finishing at
the bottom of the NFL quarterback rating for three consecutive
years will never be broken.

Speaker 2 (07:57):
If he doesn't, I say two will likely never be broken.
Right now.

Speaker 1 (08:01):
Furthermore, let's move away from the chests. We go to
sweet Home Chicago, where the pizza is delicious and the
sports blow. Now, speaking of stank the Chicago Bears. They
have an offensive coordinator named Luke Getsy, and it's pretty
apparent that Luke Getsy doesn't get it.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
How do we know that this week he praised Justin Fields.

Speaker 1 (08:27):
Yeah, the same Justin Fields who could sit at the
kiddy table was Zach Wilson and they could trade notes.

Speaker 2 (08:34):
So the offensive quarter of the Bears was praising the
leadership skills of Justin Fields.

Speaker 1 (08:42):
He said this quote, It's about getting better for fields
every single week and making sure that he's mastering what
we're doing, and from our perspective, this is the offensive
point of the Bears from our perspective, and being the
leader of that unit. And I think he's doing a
really nice job in the midst of a lot of

(09:02):
blank right now, that's going on?

Speaker 2 (09:05):
Whoo all right?

Speaker 1 (09:07):
Can you make sense of a Bears offensive coach praising
Justin Fields for his in air quotes leadership. So imagine
telling Bears fans that Justin Fields is.

Speaker 2 (09:25):
Doing a really nice job.

Speaker 1 (09:28):
If I own the Bears, I'd fire this guy's ass
right now. I'd bring in my office and I'd say,
that's it you doing. Listen, the Bears own. I don't
care the owner of the Bear. It's a money making venture.

Speaker 5 (09:43):
I get it.

Speaker 2 (09:44):
But I am bemused.

Speaker 1 (09:47):
I was talking to one of my radio piles, the
Great Bob Fesco there in Kansas City, about this. I
am bemused by coaches and people in sports that say
that player does things that don't show up in the
box score.

Speaker 2 (10:00):
Right.

Speaker 1 (10:01):
You get paid to play well in games, to win games, right.
Everything else is just eyewash. And at this point, Jordan
Love has signed up for the Air Force. Now what
part of the air Force.

Speaker 2 (10:16):
Is he in.

Speaker 1 (10:17):
He is in the Kamakazi squadron because every Sunday, some
Mondays in an occasional Thursday. In fact, next Thursday, Chicago's
playing Washington and the PU Special.

Speaker 2 (10:30):
It's a Kamakazi mission. All right, parting shot, Let's.

Speaker 1 (10:34):
Go to New England where Rob Gronkowski.

Speaker 2 (10:39):
He's not playing anymore in the NFL, but he's.

Speaker 1 (10:40):
Attempting to rewrite his own words. He wants he wants
to bring clarity to some things he has said in
the past. You might remember a couple of years ago,
in twenty twenty one on a Manning cast, that is
where Peyton Manning and Eli Manning play grab ass and
Jock Sniffers can't get enough of it. So on the

(11:00):
Manning Cast, they of course had a jock on Rob
Gronkowski who said that he did not watch film with
the Patriots and he just asked Tom Brady what he
needed to know, and that.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
Quote went viral.

Speaker 1 (11:15):
Well, Gronkowski just did a different interview on some podcast
and I read the quote from Gronkowski. He's singing from
a bit of a different song sheet. Gronk is saying
that he always watched film with the Patriots. So you've
got two dueling pianos here. You've got Gronk from twenty

(11:37):
twenty one that said he, you know, he didn't watch
a film. He just asked Brady there and he's kind
of joking around doing some grab ass with the Manning brothers.
And now you've got Gronk here said no, no, no,
I watched him.

Speaker 2 (11:50):
So what is your verdict. You are the judge, you
are the jury.

Speaker 1 (11:54):
What is your verdict on Rob Gronkowski's film habits? So
after a thorough review, Gronk is guilty in the court
of malar of film follies.

Speaker 2 (12:10):
That's right, an order in the courtroom. Now, why because
in this recent.

Speaker 1 (12:16):
Interview Gronkowski, you can go back and here you can
find it pretty easy to find. But he incriminated himself
in his own defense. He said that he watched film
with the Patriots. But the way he described it was
he watched it at the facility when everyone else was
watching film. They had meetings and all the players had
to watch film. But he said he never watched film

(12:37):
at home. He said he never watched He never put
any extra time in watching film. He just did it
when he was at work, so he didn't do any homework.
So I am going with the theory that Rob Gronkowski,
we've seen him now since he stopped playing, he is
what's known.

Speaker 2 (12:52):
As a hedonist.

Speaker 1 (12:53):
Okay, he's a hedonist who has been singing the Disney
Jungle Book class the Bear Necessities.

Speaker 2 (13:02):
Right.

Speaker 1 (13:03):
He was so good that he got away with it,
and a lot of guys do. Right, we've all I
don't care where you were in athlete athletics or not.
I mean, I work in radio. There's people that have
done radio that are really good at it, don't put
the work in, but usually at some point.

Speaker 2 (13:16):
You get exposed.

Speaker 1 (13:17):
I'm guessing that's true with any business, like whatever, whatever
your job is, like, whatever it might be, there's probably
somebody who's gonna gets the very talents that they kind
of figure it all out. They don't really pay attention
to the fine print. But then at some point the
rubber meets the road and we have problems. It is
the Ben Mallor Show. If you would like to comment

(13:39):
on any of this. It is a speakeasy. The lines
are open if you want to be part of it.

Speaker 2 (13:53):
Now. I had on.

Speaker 1 (13:54):
My my, my, you know, rundown in my head here,
I had that we were going to the round robin?

Speaker 2 (14:01):
Do we still want to do the round robin? I'm
told we don't have to do the round robin? Do
we want to do the round rob? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (14:08):

Speaker 1 (14:28):

Speaker 1 (15:16):
We got the round Robin. We'll go around the room
and I see what you did. I was sam I
just realized that when I said round Robert, and then
I heard the song, I wasn't listening at all. And
then I just realized, wait a minute. I thought you
were gonna play the Bare Necessities.

Speaker 2 (15:34):
Song because I mentioned the Jungle Book song, but you didn't.

Speaker 7 (15:37):
I was singing that it's a great song you were.

Speaker 1 (15:41):
I used to love that when I was a kid
and Disneyland was affordable, and I grew up in Orange County,
just the stones throw away from Disneyland. We used to
go there a lot. I can't even afford to look
at Disneyland now. It's insane how expensive that place is. Anyway,
talking all things and whatnot, And I did want to

(16:04):
mention the Thursday night game last night.

Speaker 2 (16:06):
There were a couple of things.

Speaker 1 (16:07):
That that stood out that were kind of bizarre.

Speaker 2 (16:12):
Oh, you're so bizarre, And I wanted to go over
a couple of these things.

Speaker 1 (16:17):
One of them involved and Eddie mentioned this earlier and
I think I teased it.

Speaker 2 (16:21):
I never paid it off, like General Custer.

Speaker 1 (16:24):
So the green Bay Packers leading them out of the
tunnel before the game against the Lions.

Speaker 2 (16:31):
Was Little Wayne.

Speaker 1 (16:34):
Little Wayne led them out of the tunnel the Green
and Yellow there. He is the super fan, and it
was amazing.

Speaker 2 (16:44):
It was so good. So how good was it, you asked?

Speaker 1 (16:48):
It was like the Battle of Little Big Horn, General
Custer's last stand for the Green Bay Packers, the entire
Packer cavalry, they met their demise and Lil Wayne led
them out of the tunnel onto the field. So that
was that was pretty amusing considering the outcome hereund twenty

(17:09):
seven to three the Packers at halftime to the Lions.
And then there's another issue which has been debated. And
I don't know if you saw this or not, but
the Packers were getting, they were getting the snot kicked
out of them, and one of the Lions star players,
i'man Ross Saint Brown, was celebrating the fact that he

(17:33):
was able to find pay dirt. He had a touchdown,
and so he celebrated by doing the traditional lamb ball leap,
which is what you know. We note that the Packers
do that. That's how they celebrate. It's been grandfathered into
the NFL. But there's Ross Saint Brown doing it. And

(17:53):
so a Packer fan poured beer on top of Saint Brown,
and some people are upset. They're like, you can't, you
shouldn't do that. That's a bad fan. First of all,
all right, I'm on, I'm on the side of the fan. Okay,
I'm old school. I'm from the generation where you did
pour beer on players.

Speaker 2 (18:12):
You know that's what you did. Uh, Now you shouldn't.
You shouldn't do that regularly.

Speaker 1 (18:16):
But uh, this is this falls into that category of
play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Speaker 2 (18:23):
Right.

Speaker 1 (18:23):
If you're gonna go into the crowd, right and you're
you're you're pretty much mocking the Packers, And I'm fine
with it, but you can expect two things that could happen, beer,
a beer bath, maybe some nacho cheese on the back
of your jersey, right, little nacho cheese there, some cheese cards.

Speaker 2 (18:42):
And your pants. Now those things could happen. Now we
do have a packer. Apologies to the works on the show.

Speaker 1 (18:48):
I was saying your thoughts on this developing story with
the packer fan pouring beer on on Ross Saint Brown.

Speaker 5 (18:55):
I don't really care. Honestly, I don't care.

Speaker 2 (18:58):
That's a bad take. We're on the radio. You have
to have an opinion.

Speaker 7 (19:01):
I don't care that they put It's not the first
time that, like you know, like you said, I Fanas
poured beer.

Speaker 5 (19:09):
If you listen, if you enter the if you enter the.

Speaker 7 (19:12):
Lambeau crowd willingly, It's like, try to do that for
the what do they call the Raiders section black hole?
The black hole or like the dog in Cleveland the
dog pound or what?

Speaker 6 (19:23):
Right?

Speaker 7 (19:24):
You know, so you know you're going right into the
thick of it. You know you might get a little
you might get a little retribution.

Speaker 1 (19:32):
And you know, if a player goes on the court
like the Mouse of Palace and Jermaine Oio wants to
punch him, I'm fine with that, you know, I'm okay
with that, you know, I mean, you're.

Speaker 2 (19:40):
Going the court of the field. Whatever happens happened.

Speaker 7 (19:42):
I mean since the pandemic. During the pandemic, we've seen
fans just acting even more childish than they were before.

Speaker 2 (19:50):
I disagree with that. That's take. It's true, it's not.
It's not true.

Speaker 1 (19:54):
Fans have always acted like idiots, but now we have
social media everything, and everyone's trying to get videos and clicks.

Speaker 2 (20:01):
That's the problem.

Speaker 5 (20:01):
The famous they want the viral moment, so they're doing
this crap even more.

Speaker 1 (20:05):
Like dude, let me tell you something, Sam, I covered
an Angels Cleveland Indians game in I think the nineties
of it. I remember some dude climbed up the foul
pole at the Big A. They didn't know what to do.
The guy climbed up the f and foul pole at
Angel Stadium, and which was and I'm saying they didn't what.

Speaker 2 (20:24):
There was no social media in those days.

Speaker 1 (20:26):
The idiot climbed up, they had to wait for him
to climb down. The guy could have fallen and killed
himself in front of thirty forty thousand people. And that
was before social media.

Speaker 2 (20:34):
People are knuckleheads.

Speaker 7 (20:35):
Yeah, I don't know. It feels like it's happening more often.
I don't think so.

Speaker 5 (20:39):
These morons, who are you know.

Speaker 2 (20:43):
We're aware of everything.

Speaker 1 (20:44):
People run on the field at a you know, a minor.

Speaker 2 (20:47):
League game and we know about it. You know.

Speaker 1 (20:50):
It's now speaking of activity here of fan activity. I
loved Bryce Harper having a total nuclear melt down.

Speaker 6 (20:57):
At Angel her I was just watching the video of that.

Speaker 2 (21:00):
Is that not great? Is that not? He tossed?

Speaker 1 (21:03):
This has gotta be the coolest souvenir you can possibly get. So,
Bryce Harper got called out on the check swing, which
could not have been a worst call by Angel Hernad.
Did you see the replayed on looking at right now,
Wat's the end of this that the pitch is like
below the knees and the swing. If you look at
Bryce Harper's bat, it it did not It did not

(21:25):
move across the zone. He did not cross the threshold.
And Angel Hernandiez, who was the third base umpire ring
him up. But Bryce Harper's walking off the wear of
those great powder blues.

Speaker 2 (21:34):
What a great uniform. Those uniforms are for the Phillies.
So he's walking off the field he threw his helmet
into the crowded.

Speaker 1 (21:41):
Yeah, a kid got Bryce Harper's batting helmet.

Speaker 5 (21:44):
Is uh, that's possible.

Speaker 6 (21:48):
Batting helme.

Speaker 2 (21:49):
That is one of the cool that's one. It beats
a bat that.

Speaker 6 (21:54):
By the way, mind the dug out there.

Speaker 2 (21:56):
Yeah, isn't that awesome.

Speaker 6 (21:58):
It's quite the toss. Here's the play.

Speaker 1 (22:02):
Yeah that Oh yeah, he did not sew at that.

Speaker 6 (22:05):
That's what a what a shock that Angel Hernandez would
f up accall. That's stunning. Yeah, and he's he's it's
racism though that he hasn't gotten as.

Speaker 1 (22:16):
That imagine, no, imagine in twenty three with the way
the world is to lose a lot of racism law.

Speaker 2 (22:21):
So I think you're pretty much guaranteed these days to
win if you do that.

Speaker 1 (22:23):
But he somehow did he had such such a non
case he couldn't even win that.

Speaker 2 (23:58):
Sports Radio, the Iheartrad.

Speaker 1 (24:00):
So I'm gonna go first round, Robin. It's a parlay
picking machine, and I'm going.

Speaker 2 (24:05):
With a four leg parlay. And here it is.

Speaker 1 (24:09):
These are actual eyes who gottaver at DraftKings. I'm going
a little crazy. I'm going I'm going nuts up. Yeah,
four leg, Coop, poor Leg. I'm feeling frisky. Here we go,
first leg. You're gonna be upset with me, Coop. Justin
Field's touchdown pass over under a half.

Speaker 2 (24:28):
All he has to do is throw one touchdown pass.
It could be in the fourth quarter with the Broncos
leading by forty points.

Speaker 1 (24:35):
It doesn't matter. We get credit. So that's plus one
eighty five. I'm gonna bet on the worst quarterback this
side of Zach Wilson.

Speaker 2 (24:42):
Justin Fields. How about Sam Howe?

Speaker 1 (24:45):
Terrible right, He'll play better this week, but the over
under passing yards is two hundred and fifteen and a half.

Speaker 2 (24:52):
Take the under against the Eagle, Sam Howe.

Speaker 1 (24:54):
He'll play better, but he ain't gonna have two hundred
and fifteen passing yards.

Speaker 2 (24:57):
There.

Speaker 1 (24:57):
If Washington wins that game, it's gonna be on the
ground at least competes.

Speaker 2 (25:01):
I think they will compete.

Speaker 1 (25:02):
I'll have more on that on Benny Versus the Penny
tonight on television.

Speaker 2 (25:06):
Check your local listing. But that's the second leg.

Speaker 1 (25:08):
Sam Howe under two hundred and fifteen and a half
passing yards with the Commanders the third and fourth leg,
I'm going sentimental, Bill Belichick. Zeke Elliott over twenty seven
and a half rushing yards. That seems pretty low to me.
Over twenty seven and a half against the Cowboys.

Speaker 2 (25:26):
Who have the thirtieth rank rush defense in the NFL.
And I don't really care about that. No, no, you
do care.

Speaker 1 (25:33):
I know you're not into talk radio, but how about
this on the sea, Zeke Elliott? Anytime touchdown plus two
forty five? You know what make you Belichick? You know,
kind of into the whole sentimental NFL history thing.

Speaker 2 (25:49):
Yeah, now he is.

Speaker 1 (25:52):
When it comes to that kind of crap, he is
into it. So I say, Elliott will have at least
thirty yards rushing and a touchdown and Sam Howe under
two fifteen and a half yards and Justin Fields will
have a touchdown. Past four leg, parlay make sure you
send a donation, make sure you tip your your bartender.

Speaker 2 (26:07):
All right, who's next? Wants to go to edit? I'll
go next.

Speaker 6 (26:10):
So just the typical three team parlay for me every week,
and I've hit three, excuse me, two out of the
three weeks seven and two. Not bad.

Speaker 5 (26:19):
Leavetti was the only one to hit.

Speaker 2 (26:21):
You don't need that. You don't need to puff up.

Speaker 6 (26:22):
Why not? What's the use of winning if you can't
brag and I win. I'll take Tampa Bay plus the
three and a half against New Orleans that loss. I
will take the Chargers minus five and a half against
the Raiders and the lock of the week Kansas City
minus nine against the New York Jets.

Speaker 2 (26:38):
We're gonna go zero for three.

Speaker 6 (26:39):
Yeah, did you say that?

Speaker 2 (26:40):
Every week?

Speaker 7 (26:41):
And kicking your ass any any station at Fort Fort
Bragg over here?

Speaker 2 (26:46):
How about that? No, I see what you did. That's
a good throw. You know. I'm gonna add that. That's
a good one.

Speaker 4 (26:53):
I like.

Speaker 2 (26:55):
That's good.

Speaker 1 (26:56):
I like that, cheater, Sam, you're doing the round robin.

Speaker 5 (26:59):
I was here, my crap ass picks.

Speaker 7 (27:01):
Hurry up, all right, I'm gonna say Dolphins win outright
at Buffalo.

Speaker 2 (27:06):
Okay, they're underdogs.

Speaker 5 (27:07):
They're gonna win out right on the road.

Speaker 2 (27:09):
Okay, just bet the money line, alright.

Speaker 7 (27:11):
Money line, all right, So Broncos Bears, I'm gonna.

Speaker 5 (27:14):
Take the under. I'm gonna take the under forty six
and a half. I'm gonna take the under, all.

Speaker 7 (27:19):
Right, Okay, and I could get this. You go full
flip a roo here, Bengals Titans. You think it's gonna
be a defensive struggle. I think they're just gonna get
over that forty and a half over forty and a
half points.

Speaker 2 (27:32):
Okay, there's a low picks.

Speaker 5 (27:34):
That is a low toe, low total coop.

Speaker 9 (27:40):
Alright, I'm gonna mix it up between some some teams
and some props here.

Speaker 5 (27:46):
We're gonna do a three leg parlay. First.

Speaker 9 (27:48):
I'm gonna do Ravens to win. Money line on the Ravens.

Speaker 1 (27:54):
John Harbaugh against the spread as a dog on.

Speaker 2 (27:57):
The road, He's insane. He's it like eighty four percent.

Speaker 9 (28:01):
Or something like that. No, that's right, that's right. I
mean they're there, there are dogs by like one point.

Speaker 5 (28:07):
Right, yeah, yeah, But I'm you know, get take the
better Ohs and go with them to just win the game.

Speaker 2 (28:13):
All right.

Speaker 9 (28:14):
Then, I'm gonna go with Seahawks minus one.

Speaker 2 (28:19):
Never wrong to bet against Danny dying.

Speaker 5 (28:21):
That's right, exactly bad.

Speaker 9 (28:24):
And then lastly, similar to what you were doing, Ben,
but the other side of it, I'm gonna go with
Russell Wilson over on the passing yards, which is set
it two thirty nine.

Speaker 5 (28:38):
Yes, okay, I you're like, that's.

Speaker 2 (28:40):
Right, so the same concert. I agree. I just feels
just terrible.

Speaker 1 (28:43):
But if you can't throw a touchdown pass against the Broncos, right,
come off limited. They just gave up seventy points and
seven hundred yards to the golf, you should get at least.

Speaker 2 (28:53):
One touchdown past. I don't think I'm asking. It's gonna
be a shutout this week. Yeah, right, all right, there
you go. Let's get the coop scoop on entertainment.

Speaker 1 (29:01):
Hooray for Holly what he rayer Holly wah. They're back
making movies and TV shows. Now here's the Koopa loop
justin coop.

Speaker 2 (29:10):
That's right.

Speaker 9 (29:11):
And more importantly, all the stuff that they had in
the can that they were just kind of waiting to
release until these strikes were over, they are now releasing them. First,
we're gonna release the entertainment. Yes, we're gonna start over
at the movie theater. I'm gonna mention this movie. It
actually came out last week, but somehow I I missed it,

(29:32):
did not did not mention this. It is called Dumb Money.
It is the Game Stop story. Yes, they have Oh
you know, I want to see that?

Speaker 2 (29:41):
Actually, yeah, yeah, that was like my I think I
would enjoy that.

Speaker 9 (29:44):
They have made a story, you know, based on the
whole Game Stop you know, short squeeze situation that was
going on there with you know, Reddit and all that stuff.

Speaker 5 (29:55):
And it's got some it's got some good names in
this movie. Actually, you've got the Mets owners.

Speaker 2 (29:59):
Somebody plays the Mets owner in this right, because he
was a big part of that.

Speaker 9 (30:02):
Yeah, yep, you got Pete Davidson. God, I can never
pronounce this guy's name. Super famous Vincent, Yes, thank you.
Nick Offerman is in it, America Ferreira, Shalne Woodley, seth Rogen.

and then coming out this weekend, we have a couple
of movies that might be of interest. First, we have
Saw ten or Saw X or whatever you want to
call it. The the latest addition to the Saw series.
This one is actually caught so far the best reviews

thriller one stars John David Washington, son of Denzel Washington,

three of these out this weekend.

money on the popcorn and stuff.
