Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go. Welcome. It's the Original Recipe podcast. Don't
forget though the fifth hour podcast later on today. Once
you get done listening to Hour four. Later today, the
Original Recipe podcast will be up. And that's all about
the making of this week's episode of Benny Versus the
Penny and also my dealings with a media mogul. You'll
(00:21):
hear all about that and the TV show. The TV
show is Benny Versus the Penny. He'll be up later
today on Peacock and regional NBC Sports cable channels. So
please watch that boy. That would help us out a lot.
As you're listening to the radio show. So the Ravens
tight end, Mark Andrews thinks Lamar Jackson is the target
of unfair slander. Do you agree or disagree? Another mistake
(00:45):
by Lamar at the end of the game on Thursday,
and Lamar Jackson says, if his body was feeling like
it did this week, the Ravens would have won the
AFC Championship game. Who's kind of amusing considering they just
lost to Kansas City. Give me your reaction, and we
are hearing that. Jalen Hurts and coach Nick Sirianni in
Philadelphia have really improved communication heading into their game against
(01:10):
the Packers in Brazil. Do you think that's true? Do
you think that's the case. Do you think that's so?
We'll get to all that and more right now here
it is. Have a great weekend. It's our number four.
Stand by your quarterback, Well gome. In the beginning of
(01:34):
another hour of the Ben Malor Show, we are in

I know, Matt and mister nice guy, they'll all be
watching the TV show later today there in the bay,
(02:35):
and they've watched ten thousand episodes of the show, even
though there's only been about well so far this year
one episode of the show, but they're planning on watching
ten thousand once we get to that point. Bar our lead.
This hour is from the notepat we'll post mortem on
the NFL opener between the Chiefs and Ravens. It was
a hum danger of a finish. The Chiefs didn't play
(02:58):
all that well and they still one barely barely. There's
no nails left on their fingers. There a finger biting
good time had by all. As the Ravens matriculated the
ball down the field as time ran out. After butchering
the clock, Lamar Jackson found his tight end lively in
(03:19):
the back of the end zone. He caught the ball,
got to get the feet in bounds on the field.
That was called a touchdown. They went to replay the
review call overturned. Call overturned, You lose, you get nothing,
go home. So that's how the game ended. Lamar Jackson
(03:40):
was in denial after the game. He believed it was
a touchdown, even though where we come from, if you
have your feet on the line, you're not inbounds. You're
out of bounds, the same as like in baseball they
call it the foul pole. But if you hit it
it's it's it's fair go figure makes no sense. But
in this case, if you get your feet on the
(04:02):
chalk and that means you're out of bounds, you see
how that works. Now, a stalwart of Baltimore's recent run,
who was barely heard of or heard from in the
game last night, has spoken out. And this actually was
in the lead up to the game out Have you
heard this or not? But the Ravens tight end, Mark Andrews,
(04:22):
he must have foreshadowed what was going to happen. He
addressed the criticism that Lamar Jackson gets and has received
over the years, and he got more of it after
last night's game. Because Lamar yet again big stats and
we hold him to a high standard. He did not
get it done at the end. There were a lot
of mistakes. There was a pass that he airmailed over
(04:45):
a wide open receiver at prior play to the play
that ended out of bounds. But Mark Andrews told GQ,
of all people said, there's so much unfair slander about
Lamar Jackson, it's continuous. Mark Andrews said, He's been having
to fight through that for his whole life. There's no
(05:09):
real substance behind it. Close quote. So that's from Mark Andrews,
who's been with Lamar the entire time Lamar has been
in the NFL and does not appear this season that
Mark Andrews is going to be all that big a
part of what the Ravens are doing. If Game one
(05:33):
is an example, he was only targeted two times, Mark Andrews,
number eighty nine in your program, but number ninety nine
in your heart at this point. So he had fourteen yards.
But let's get back to it here. I'll let us
discuss the question Mark Andrews. So the Ravens thinking that
Lamar Jackson is the target of unfair slander without substance,
(05:54):
do you agree or disagree? I've got Sinatra, avocado and
FDA approved, and we will combine all of these things
together and we are going to get amped up, amped
up on a Friday. Yes, all right? Now to kick
(06:18):
off here, we always preface this with a disclaimer. We
understand that Mark Andrews is in the bunker with his quarterback.
That's my quarterback. He's a loyal foot soldier. He's also
sniffing glue if he believes what he's saying here. The
noise around Lamar as an NFL player is absolutely warranted. Again,
(06:40):
we hold him to a high standard. He's won two
MVP awards. It's certainly got legs. He's got legs. He
puts up Gotti statistics, but he is a feast or
famine quarterback. In the regular season, he feasts. This is
an example of the dominance the satistically for Lamar. Now,
(07:01):
he only had one touchdown, which isn't great by his stands.
He had a passing touchdown, but two hundred and seventy
three yards passing and one hundred and twenty two yards
on the ground. So my computer, like Blain Brain, tells
me that if you do the math on that, it's
just a hair under, just a hair under four hundred
yards of offense in the game, which is which is
(07:22):
pretty good. The one touchdown is not great, but it's
feast or famine because in the playoffs playoffs, that is
a starvation diet. I do inter minute fasting. What Lamar
Jackson does is just completely fast. He does long term fasting.
Boo hoo hoo. And the the other thing about is
Lamar knows what he signed up for. It is a
(07:44):
roller coast. And if you're an NFL star, it's being
an actor in a very masculine soap opera. You get
paid a large amount of money for the most part
compared to the average stiff, and you are heavily scrutinized.
That lyric from the old Sinatra song you can't have
one without the other. Now he was talking about love
(08:06):
and marriage, but I would argue you cannot have fame
and money as an NFL star without having the screwtin.
They go hand in hand. Those are the facts of life. Now. Furthermore,
we turned the page. In the lead up to the
very dramatic ending of Thursday Night Football, there was a
(08:29):
bulletin board quote. Now I don't believe in the bulletin board,
but there's a clip and save. I'll use clip and
save because the are the things you file away. Came
from Lamar pregame in the lead up to the game.
He said that if his body was feeling like it
does now this week, back when the Ravens played in
(08:49):
the AFC Championship game, they would have won the championship game.
That that's what he said. So give me your reaction
to that. So my reaction, which is even better because
they lost this game Thursday with Lamar feeling great, lucy
goosey and all that right, feeling like a million bucks.
This was a Three Stooges like quote, the quintessential mo
(09:12):
from the old Three Stooges, Right, the twin prong poke
to the eye. And here's why Lamar self incriminating, self incriminating.
As this is validation, it's take validation. He is confirming
Lamar Jackson that he has weak knees, right, that the
(09:36):
critic is right that Lamar is a genetically modified avocado.
The avocado in this case has a seventeen week shelf
life that's a lot longer than the normal avocado. And
a avocado when it's perfect, it's green on the outside,
it's slightly firm to the touch, and there's a little
(09:59):
bit of light green color on the inside. And that's
regular season Lamar. And in the playoffs he becomes the
overly soft with the dented skin and there's a little
bit of a foul odor avocado and spoiler alert, spoiler alert.
If the standard for Lamar to win big in the
(10:20):
playoffs is health, he is never going to win. He
will never be one hundred percent. You know it, I
know it, every man, woman and child knows it. That
is the reality of the situation. And even when he
was healthy as he was on Thursday night, he could
not make the plays at the end to win the game.
Couldn't do it. And at some point they'll get away
(10:42):
from this, but for now, the NFL is still a
war of attrition. Between now and early January, plays seventeen
games in the allotted time, the eighteen weeks, and that's it.
Grueling adventure marathon. That's what the NFL season is. It'll
(11:03):
add more bye weeks and they'll stretch things out at
some point, but not right now. All right, last thing,
we head to Soapolo where there's an NFL game to night.
We got NFL action this evening if you're on the
West coast. But the Packers and Eagles. We'll duke it out. Now.
(11:25):
The Eagles opened a one and a half point favorite.
They are favored by two in that get where's the money?
I need it? Now? Weigh the money? All right, well,
I'll tell you where the money is. It's pretty even.
The wise guys, the sharp betters a slight lean, but
very slight, not anything to really pay attention to in
(11:48):
favor of the Eagles and the public also giving a
slight lean to the Eagles against the Green Bay package.
So that is the backdrop. Now, one of the others
subplots here, One of the other subplots is the frosty
relationship between the Eagles coach Nick Sirianni and quarterback Jalen Hurts. Now,
(12:11):
I was just reading the other day here that this
is now apparently fawed like the wooly mammoth fawing out
somewhere on the North Pole as the Eagles get ready
to open up the regular season here today in Brazil. Now,
Diana Russini, she's an insigner. She tells us that Sirianni
(12:34):
and Jalen Hurts have really improved that's a quote, really
improved their communication with each other, and they've gotten on
the same page with how they want the offense to operate.
So we'll keep its simple. Jalen Hurts and Nick Sirianni
have quote, really improved communication this year. Do you think
(12:54):
that's so? Do you think that so?
Speaker 2 (12:58):
So?
Speaker 1 (12:58):
I'm giving this one of a side eye little side
I hear. And here's why I recommend the FDA approved
medication for premature takes. There's a pill for that, and
here's why. Okay, the burden of proof is on Sirianni
and Hurts, and from what I have seen, especially Nick
(13:20):
sirian I don't know much. I don't know as much
about Hurts, but I know that what I have seen
from Nick Sirianni, he does not handle adversity particularly well.
I believe that Big Dom would do a better job
than Sirianni under adversity, and he got into a fight
with a forty nine er player. But if you check
back with the Eagles, and the real acid test is
(13:44):
when they lose back to back games. That's the real
acid test. People show their true colors, as you know,
under pressure. It's like when you see a quarterback, like
I'll give you an example. I think Sam Donald's gonna do
pretty good for the Vikings for a while, but at
some point he's gonna fall back to what he's always
been right. There'll be some spots where the line doesn't
(14:05):
play that well, or they lose a couple of guys
to injury, and at that point, Sam Darnold is going
to morph back into a suck bag quarterback. But for
a while, you can get away with it. You can
fake it for a while, but eventually it catches up
for you or to you. It is the Ben mal Show.

byways in Arkansas. Hello, Sir scratch Off. Is he not there,
Sir scratch Off? Hello? Oh well, darn well, everything's falling apart.
(19:32):
Let's try Andrea in Berkeley. She's never let me down.
Not one time has she let me down. Our friend Andrea. Hello, Andrea,
these sports sorceress, and she's got all the info and
all the stars and even random baseball players that get
big contracts. Is that correct, Andrea?
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Yes, Virgoing Service, that's.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Right, Virgoing Service on the X machine formerly known as Twitter.
She has a how do you need that? Newsletter? A
few times a year.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Right, yes, around The next one will be the fall equinox,
then the winter solstice. All right, very good, Spring equinox,
summer solstice, you know, around, you know, different events, but
always around the equinox and solstice when there's a lot
of planetary changes and so on. But I just really
(20:23):
enjoy your show, and I was thinking of you as
watching Aaron Rogers, you know, because the forty nine Ers
and the Jets are gonna play. But I called about
Matt Chapman because that's the talk of the town.
Speaker 5 (20:36):
I'm in the Bay Area, and you know our times
are things that bleak and Bay Areas sports that this
is the talk of the town here.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
I mean, my god, we got the Niners. They're good.
What are we doing here?
Speaker 5 (20:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (20:47):
No, no, A lot of stuff was about the Niners.
But they did get the press conference in. And you know,
it's not every day that there's a six year extension
for one hundred and fifty one million dollars, So it's.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Only it seems like it's only every other day these
days that they're handing out these colossal contracts. But yeah,
I don't get this one. He's going to be thirty
two right right next year, and he's a defensive guy.
As you get older, you slow down a little bit,
your range gets a little I don't care how ripped
you are, how jacked you are, your range goes down
(21:23):
a little bit. And hey, it's not my money, so
good for him. I hope. I saw a lot of
garlic fries.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Yeah, well, there you go. And you know he's a
trust like you, so you know, enjoy every by Taurus
likes their comfort food. He's April twenty eighth and nineteen
ninety three, and he's born in California, and you know,
Taurus likes consistency and you know, change not so much.
So it makes sense that he wanted to stay in California.
(21:49):
He's played with, you know, under Bob Melvin before and
Matt Williams, so you know, there was like a nice
kind of comfort zone there for him. And what's interesting
those six years. I'm still doing my due diligence on
his forecast for the next six years, but I know
next year Mars is a crucial planet for an athlete,
(22:10):
as Mars and Leo rule's energy assertion aggression. Pluto is
in Aquarius opposing as Mars, which sent me some power struggles.
But you know, I mean that's his guaranteed job. But
there's just something there, some kind of power struggle or class.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Well, there's the struggle will be the giants to make
the playoffs over the course of that contract. That'll be
the start.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Well, there you go again. Nothing is guaranteed if you
spend a lot. I mean, I'm a Mets fan, and you.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Know, well, good luck because the Dodgers are there's no
end to the Dodgers regular season success. And listen the Padres.
I think they're gonna start trading guys away, but for now,
they have a good team in Arizona. Looks like they're
going to be set up for the next few years
to have good teams. So the Giants are behind the
eight ball.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Yeah, it'll be interesting, you know, they're showing you know,
the wild card and how many games out and what
Matt Chapman's extension means for the free agent market. But
I will say Scott Boris is a scorpio, and he
drives a very hard bargain.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Ben, he drives a hard bargain, but a really nice car.
So he's got a hard bargain but nice car. All right,
Well we'll leave it there here and yeah, people go
watch Benny. Yeah, benyvers a penny right. I know you're
one of my loyal mingus.
Speaker 2 (23:21):

Speaker 1 (24:07):
What does she get for that, Eddie? Do we give
her something? Well, I mean just mentioning her name on
the Yeah, she doesn't get any publicity. Nobody's talking about her,
so it's good that we're doing that.
Speaker 6 (24:18):
Oh, she gets some praise. But I mean for us
to give her that praise, I mean, that's Trump's everything else.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Yeah, I mean, forget the fact that the company's mandating
you say her name is during the updates. I mean,
that's that doesn't matter at all. I mean, my god,
the fact that we mentioned her there very important. We
have some fun fun fun fun fun facts are you ready. Yeah,
so about those fun facts. In the first half. In
(24:43):
the first half of the game that was played last night,
Lamar Jackson averaged zero point eight air yards per pass
attempt on eighteen attempts. I didn't even know that was possible. Now,
I like to rip Dak Prescott. I all, I'm dickon
and dunk Dak. But this is next level. Uh it's wild.
(25:05):
He threw just two passes more than four yards downfield
in the first half. Now, the second half was was better,
but man alive, that was that was bananas. That was
absolutely bananas. Uh So that is the fun fact of
the art. Now, I wanna I want to run this
by because I don't understand this, and I have some
(25:26):
messages out I know some some boosters at our they
claim to be maybe they're lying to me and people
lie to me all the time. These they they've given
me some good dirt over the years on USC Football,
University of selling Cal And I want to run this by.
So this show, by the way, sponsored by DraftKings. Stay
tuned because you'll hear more about DraftKings and all it
(25:47):
has to offer throughout the show DraftKings. The Crown is
youre so USC announced they are honoring the current Chicago
Bears quarterback their former quarterback, Caleb Williams. In a massive move,
they are retiring his number. They were tiring the man's number.
Now number thirteen will not be worn again unless some
(26:08):
guy is a top recruit begs for it. For the
University of Southern California, he said, well, you won the husband. Okay,
he won the Heisman. You know what the record was
for Caleb Williams. I think eighteen and eight was his
record at SC. They never made the college football Playoff
and if I'm not mistaken, even they are a couple
(26:30):
years they didn't win the conference. They didn't win the
Pac twelve. So that's the standard to have the number retired?
Speaker 6 (26:39):
Is it a thing where they've retired all the other
Heisman winners so they have to do him.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
I don't know. I'm just telling you like that, If
that's the case, they should stop. That should be like,
what are we doing here?
Speaker 6 (26:50):
I saw they brought back Reggie Bush's retired number as well.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
They retire, Yeah, they're gonna retire. They unretired.
Speaker 6 (26:57):
Yeah, they retired it. But then when he got in trouble,
they were and that he's gotten his heisman back and
all that day bringing it back.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
I loved back in the day. I used to go
to those games all the time and they had OJ's
number up.
Speaker 8 (27:08):
There, and still they still have number.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
You do still have it yet. It's awesome. It is
just great. They're like, hey, we don't care, you know.
Speaker 9 (27:17):
Double murder, eh, booster taking booster money.
Speaker 8 (27:21):
You're out of here.
Speaker 1 (27:23):

this in this segment, but you know, it is an
entertainment segment. So every now and then I branch off
into some other stuff when there's big news, and I
did want to mention Lincoln Park made a huge announcement today.
Speaker 8 (27:57):
They are reuniting with a new lead.
Speaker 9 (28:00):
Singer to take the place of the the deceased Chester Bennington,
and that new singer is Emily Armstrong, a female vocalist
who used to be the front woman for a band
called Dead Sarah.
Speaker 8 (28:17):
Never heard of her, never heard of the band?
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Is Sarah Dead? No, because she's not there anymore.
Speaker 8 (28:25):
Her name is Emily. I don't know who Sarah is,
but I mean, I don't know. I know nothing about
the band, but I did.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
I didn't realize these band people are like athletes. They
just moved from band to band. I didn't realize you
have something to stay with the band.
Speaker 8 (28:36):
Sometimes that happens.
Speaker 9 (28:38):
But I did did click a little clip of them
performing live, and she sounds pretty good, so it should
be interesting. They're coming out with new music, new album
with her, and you know, a new tour. So check
that out if you were a big Lincoln Park fan.
And now moving over to the theaters this weekend, there
is there's one movie that everybody's talking about, of course,
(29:00):
is Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice, the sequel to Tim Burton's classic, and.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Oh yeah, they this is great. So when I was
in I visited Arnie, our our friend, our colleague, the
great Arnie Spaniard, the stinking genius in Burlington and in Burlington, Vermont,
and we were driving around he's like, oh yeah, we
filmed Beetlejuice over here. He's like it was hilarious, Like
he just casually, Oh yeah, they filmed the scene for
Beetle Juice.
Speaker 8 (29:24):
Over in that in that original Beetlejuice or the new one.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Okay, and Arnie said, this is classic Arnie. He's like
they were they were at there's so few people in Burlington,
they needed people to be extras in Beetlejuice. And Arnie's like,
I didn't want to spend all day there, so I
didn't so lazy, he's so late.
Speaker 9 (29:40):
Well, of course, you know this has the returning stars.
Michael Keaton is Beetlejuice, Winona Ryder, Katherine O'Hara, and then
Jenna Ortega is the newcomer plays Lydia's daughter in the movie.
Speaker 8 (29:54):
Oh yes, and I want to bring this up, this
movie up.
Speaker 9 (29:58):
This movie came out last weekend and then I don't
think I mentioned it during Coop Scoop because it's kind
of on a lower scale.
Speaker 8 (30:04):
There's only like at my local theater, there's only one
showing a day.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Standard.
Speaker 9 (30:09):
Well, I just I don't know, I don't know if
it's just not a wide release or what. But the
movie is called Strange Darling, and it was fantastic. I
definitely recommend seeing it. It is basically a one night
stand that spirals into a serial killer's vicious murder spree.
Speaker 8 (30:25):
But you know it's not.
Speaker 9 (30:27):
Not everything is as it seems. So that is that
is in theaters right now. I highly recommend that one
as stars Willa Fitzgerald and Giovanni.
Speaker 8 (30:37):
Ribisi is in it.
Speaker 9 (30:38):
He's also the uh, the director of photography in this movie,
which is interest.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
Do that is?
Speaker 1 (30:44):
I do?
Speaker 6 (30:45):
Yes, I do? Okay, I didn't think you did.
Speaker 8 (30:48):
No, he doesn't, Yeah, he doesn't.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
There was a picture that Dodgers had named Giovanni years ago,
but that's probably not the.
Speaker 8 (30:54):
Same person, all right.
Speaker 9 (30:55):
And then moving over to television real quick, Uh we
have now.
Speaker 8 (30:59):
I just wanted to bring this up.
Speaker 9 (31:01):
It's not something that I necessarily want to you know
that I'm recommending. But it's interesting now because you know,
we've had we had the shift over to podcasts, and
then podcasts became a huge thing, and now we're getting
shows based off of podcasts.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
I'm offended by. I missed radio in movies. I don't
like shows based on it. Doesn't make as good a
movie plotline. I think I have to record a podcast
anywhere at any time. You never know when these things
are recorded. Well, this one you do because we're up
all night but doing the stupid thing. But like, do
you know when, like Joe Rogan, people sent me Joe
(31:40):
Rogan podcast, you know when he does his podcast, when
he records it.
Speaker 8 (31:43):
I don't know like what day of the week or
when when he does it.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Yeah, you know, I have no idea. You could do
it right now or whenever? Who knows?
Speaker 8 (31:49):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 9 (31:50):
So this, I mean, this is a true crime podcast,
so it's kind of got that going. But it's called
Fight Night the Million Dollar Heist. It's got a bunch
of big names, Kevin Hard, Samuel L. Jackson, don Chi.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
Heard of those people? Yeah, who those people are?
Speaker 9 (32:03):
So it's got pretty good reviews. It's on It's on
Peacock all right.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
You know what else is on Peacock Coop Benny versus
the Pah and also the NFL game today. I'm hoping
we get a lot of people to watch the Eagles.
That's only on Peacock to Eagles and Packers from Brazil,
And I'm gonna scream at the NBC executives because they
took the page down and then they're gonna put it
back up later today, the benny versus the penny page.
(32:29):
So I'm gonna you know, I have a lot of
power over there, Coop, so I'm sure you do. Yeah. Oh,
they won't yell at me. I'll yell at them clearly.
Speaker 8 (32:36):
All right.
Speaker 9 (32:37):
And because I'm limited for time, I'm gonna skip ahead.
The last thing that I wanted to mention. I'm super
excited about this. It is a documentary, right it is.
I've talked about this before, but it is finally here.
It is called Wise Guy, David Chase and the Sopranos,
and this is getting rave reviews. It is a documentary
about the making of the Sopranos.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
Oh nice, Yes, all right? What is that on?
Speaker 9 (33:01):
That is gonna be on HBO Saturday night at eight pm,
and it is also available to stream on Max.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
Awesome. I want to watch that. I met a guy
who told this guy from Boston, who ran a chop
shop in Boston years ago, who claimed that some of
the stories and the Sopranos were from him. He might
have been just lying to me, but he did look
like a guy that could have been in the Sopranos.
So I don't know.
Speaker 8 (33:27):
Maybe we'll learn about it here in this documentary.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
Yeah yeah, all right, thank you for that, Coop. And
we need some contestants for Sports Jeopardy eight seven, seven
ninety nine on Fox. Also, I did want to mention
this as story developing. The tabloids in London are claiming
there's a rift brewing between Taylor Swift and Britney Mahomes.
They did not sit together at the game. I don't know,
(33:50):
this is I love this, It's kind of bullcrap. We
don't have time to get to it now. We keep
an eye on that. I'm sure the tabloids have a
field day with that, problems between Kelsey and Mahomes because
of their lady friends. Right ahead those Sports Jeopardy. We
get to that. We'll do it next.

show is Benny Versus the Penny. He'll be up later
today on Peacock and regional NBC Sports cable channels. So
please watch that boy. That would help us out a lot.
As you're listening to the radio show. So the Ravens
tight end, Mark Andrews thinks Lamar Jackson is the target
of unfair slander. Do you agree or disagree? Another mistake
(00:45):
by Lamar at the end of the game on Thursday,
and Lamar Jackson says, if his body was feeling like
it did this week, the Ravens would have won the
AFC Championship game. Who's kind of amusing considering they just
lost to Kansas City. Give me your reaction, and we
are hearing that. Jalen Hurts and coach Nick Sirianni in
Philadelphia have really improved communication heading into their game against
(01:10):
the Packers in Brazil. Do you think that's true? Do
you think that's the case. Do you think that's so?
We'll get to all that and more right now here
it is. Have a great weekend. It's our number four.
Stand by your quarterback, Well gome. In the beginning of
(01:34):
another hour of the Ben Malor Show, we are in

I know, Matt and mister nice guy, they'll all be
watching the TV show later today there in the bay,
(02:35):
and they've watched ten thousand episodes of the show, even
though there's only been about well so far this year
one episode of the show, but they're planning on watching
ten thousand once we get to that point. Bar our lead.
This hour is from the notepat we'll post mortem on
the NFL opener between the Chiefs and Ravens. It was
a hum danger of a finish. The Chiefs didn't play
(02:58):
all that well and they still one barely barely. There's
no nails left on their fingers. There a finger biting
good time had by all. As the Ravens matriculated the
ball down the field as time ran out. After butchering
the clock, Lamar Jackson found his tight end lively in
(03:19):
the back of the end zone. He caught the ball,
got to get the feet in bounds on the field.
That was called a touchdown. They went to replay the
review call overturned. Call overturned, You lose, you get nothing,
go home. So that's how the game ended. Lamar Jackson
(03:40):
was in denial after the game. He believed it was
a touchdown, even though where we come from, if you
have your feet on the line, you're not inbounds. You're
out of bounds, the same as like in baseball they
call it the foul pole. But if you hit it
it's it's it's fair go figure makes no sense. But
in this case, if you get your feet on the
(04:02):
chalk and that means you're out of bounds, you see
how that works. Now, a stalwart of Baltimore's recent run,
who was barely heard of or heard from in the
game last night, has spoken out. And this actually was
in the lead up to the game out Have you
heard this or not? But the Ravens tight end, Mark Andrews,
(04:22):
he must have foreshadowed what was going to happen. He
addressed the criticism that Lamar Jackson gets and has received
over the years, and he got more of it after
last night's game. Because Lamar yet again big stats and
we hold him to a high standard. He did not
get it done at the end. There were a lot
of mistakes. There was a pass that he airmailed over
(04:45):
a wide open receiver at prior play to the play
that ended out of bounds. But Mark Andrews told GQ,
of all people said, there's so much unfair slander about
Lamar Jackson, it's continuous. Mark Andrews said, He's been having
to fight through that for his whole life. There's no
(05:09):
real substance behind it. Close quote. So that's from Mark Andrews,
who's been with Lamar the entire time Lamar has been
in the NFL and does not appear this season that
Mark Andrews is going to be all that big a
part of what the Ravens are doing. If Game one
(05:33):
is an example, he was only targeted two times, Mark Andrews,
number eighty nine in your program, but number ninety nine
in your heart at this point. So he had fourteen yards.
But let's get back to it here. I'll let us
discuss the question Mark Andrews. So the Ravens thinking that
Lamar Jackson is the target of unfair slander without substance,
(05:54):
do you agree or disagree? I've got Sinatra, avocado and
FDA approved, and we will combine all of these things
together and we are going to get amped up, amped
up on a Friday. Yes, all right? Now to kick
(06:18):
off here, we always preface this with a disclaimer. We
understand that Mark Andrews is in the bunker with his quarterback.
That's my quarterback. He's a loyal foot soldier. He's also
sniffing glue if he believes what he's saying here. The
noise around Lamar as an NFL player is absolutely warranted. Again,
(06:40):
we hold him to a high standard. He's won two
MVP awards. It's certainly got legs. He's got legs. He
puts up Gotti statistics, but he is a feast or
famine quarterback. In the regular season, he feasts. This is
an example of the dominance the satistically for Lamar. Now,
(07:01):
he only had one touchdown, which isn't great by his stands.
He had a passing touchdown, but two hundred and seventy
three yards passing and one hundred and twenty two yards
on the ground. So my computer, like Blain Brain, tells
me that if you do the math on that, it's
just a hair under, just a hair under four hundred
yards of offense in the game, which is which is
(07:22):
pretty good. The one touchdown is not great, but it's
feast or famine because in the playoffs playoffs, that is
a starvation diet. I do inter minute fasting. What Lamar
Jackson does is just completely fast. He does long term fasting.
Boo hoo hoo. And the the other thing about is
Lamar knows what he signed up for. It is a
(07:44):
roller coast. And if you're an NFL star, it's being
an actor in a very masculine soap opera. You get
paid a large amount of money for the most part
compared to the average stiff, and you are heavily scrutinized.
That lyric from the old Sinatra song you can't have
one without the other. Now he was talking about love
(08:06):
and marriage, but I would argue you cannot have fame
and money as an NFL star without having the screwtin.
They go hand in hand. Those are the facts of life. Now. Furthermore,
we turned the page. In the lead up to the
very dramatic ending of Thursday Night Football, there was a
(08:29):
bulletin board quote. Now I don't believe in the bulletin board,
but there's a clip and save. I'll use clip and
save because the are the things you file away. Came
from Lamar pregame in the lead up to the game.
He said that if his body was feeling like it
does now this week, back when the Ravens played in
(08:49):
the AFC Championship game, they would have won the championship game.
That that's what he said. So give me your reaction
to that. So my reaction, which is even better because
they lost this game Thursday with Lamar feeling great, lucy
goosey and all that right, feeling like a million bucks.
This was a Three Stooges like quote, the quintessential mo
(09:12):
from the old Three Stooges, Right, the twin prong poke
to the eye. And here's why Lamar self incriminating, self incriminating.
As this is validation, it's take validation. He is confirming
Lamar Jackson that he has weak knees, right, that the
(09:36):
critic is right that Lamar is a genetically modified avocado.
The avocado in this case has a seventeen week shelf
life that's a lot longer than the normal avocado. And
a avocado when it's perfect, it's green on the outside,
it's slightly firm to the touch, and there's a little
(09:59):
bit of light green color on the inside. And that's
regular season Lamar. And in the playoffs he becomes the
overly soft with the dented skin and there's a little
bit of a foul odor avocado and spoiler alert, spoiler alert.
If the standard for Lamar to win big in the
(10:20):
playoffs is health, he is never going to win. He
will never be one hundred percent. You know it, I
know it, every man, woman and child knows it. That
is the reality of the situation. And even when he
was healthy as he was on Thursday night, he could
not make the plays at the end to win the game.
Couldn't do it. And at some point they'll get away
(10:42):
from this, but for now, the NFL is still a
war of attrition. Between now and early January, plays seventeen
games in the allotted time, the eighteen weeks, and that's it.
Grueling adventure marathon. That's what the NFL season is. It'll
(11:03):
add more bye weeks and they'll stretch things out at
some point, but not right now. All right, last thing,
we head to Soapolo where there's an NFL game to night.
We got NFL action this evening if you're on the
West coast. But the Packers and Eagles. We'll duke it out. Now.
(11:25):
The Eagles opened a one and a half point favorite.
They are favored by two in that get where's the money?
I need it? Now? Weigh the money? All right, well,
I'll tell you where the money is. It's pretty even.
The wise guys, the sharp betters a slight lean, but
very slight, not anything to really pay attention to in
(11:48):
favor of the Eagles and the public also giving a
slight lean to the Eagles against the Green Bay package.
So that is the backdrop. Now, one of the others
subplots here, One of the other subplots is the frosty
relationship between the Eagles coach Nick Sirianni and quarterback Jalen Hurts. Now,
(12:11):
I was just reading the other day here that this
is now apparently fawed like the wooly mammoth fawing out
somewhere on the North Pole as the Eagles get ready
to open up the regular season here today in Brazil. Now,
Diana Russini, she's an insigner. She tells us that Sirianni
(12:34):
and Jalen Hurts have really improved that's a quote, really
improved their communication with each other, and they've gotten on
the same page with how they want the offense to operate.
So we'll keep its simple. Jalen Hurts and Nick Sirianni
have quote, really improved communication this year. Do you think
(12:54):
that's so? Do you think that so?
Speaker 2 (12:58):
So?
Speaker 1 (12:58):
I'm giving this one of a side eye little side
I hear. And here's why I recommend the FDA approved
medication for premature takes. There's a pill for that, and
here's why. Okay, the burden of proof is on Sirianni
and Hurts, and from what I have seen, especially Nick
(13:20):
sirian I don't know much. I don't know as much
about Hurts, but I know that what I have seen
from Nick Sirianni, he does not handle adversity particularly well.
I believe that Big Dom would do a better job
than Sirianni under adversity, and he got into a fight
with a forty nine er player. But if you check
back with the Eagles, and the real acid test is
(13:44):
when they lose back to back games. That's the real
acid test. People show their true colors, as you know,
under pressure. It's like when you see a quarterback, like
I'll give you an example. I think Sam Donald's gonna do
pretty good for the Vikings for a while, but at
some point he's gonna fall back to what he's always
been right. There'll be some spots where the line doesn't
(14:05):
play that well, or they lose a couple of guys
to injury, and at that point, Sam Darnold is going
to morph back into a suck bag quarterback. But for
a while, you can get away with it. You can
fake it for a while, but eventually it catches up
for you or to you. It is the Ben mal Show.
If you'd like to be part, Speakeasy rules are an effect.

I said. The Browns are gonna lose by twenty and
(17:08):
only win five games at the most of this year.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Yeah, but anyway I would say, I would say Dan,
I would argue, I would argue here that now that
Andrew Siciliano is the radio play I play voice of
the Cleveland Browns, They're gonna win at least seven games,
six or seven game, at least six or seven. Yeah, yeah,
they're gonna.
Speaker 7 (17:30):
Lose by twenty this week. Though. But I'm back here
and I listened to I was down his hard listening
when I was in bed with my wife at night.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
But I can't imagine why your wife would be upset
by that. They do have these things called headphones though, Yeah,
you can get those. You know.
Speaker 7 (17:49):
She thinks I'm the greatest guy there is. And she said, no,
she's been with the knob.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
She's she's tested the waters.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Huh.
Speaker 7 (18:02):
They're three years within together. Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Wow, that's a long time.
Speaker 7 (18:09):
That's man, two or three lifetimes, believe me.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Yeah, it sounds like it. You've had a hard life here.
It sounds like.
Speaker 7 (18:17):
I'm back and every night I'm gonna you guys have
a good weekend.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
All right, thank you, thank you. That's you're very funny.
Thank you for that. I love to meet the grandma
at some point. Let's say hello to hollering James in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
There's no ways awake, rights, he's awake, He's alive. Yeah,
the man that quit the show on Tuesday and then
(18:45):
came back to the show on Wednesday. James, what do
you think of my twins? Oh my god, these are
the worst call. I gotta thank you. I gotta go.
I'm not hanging up. I'm just not talking to you.
I'm moving on. I can't take that. I am it's
the end of my week doing the radio show, the
(19:07):
Live Show. I got a podcast I gotta do later today,
I got the TV. I can't deal with it. Sir
scratch Off is the highways. He's on the highways and
byways in Arkansas. Hello, Sir scratch Off. Is he not there,
Sir scratch Off? Hello? Oh well, darn well, everything's falling apart.
(19:32):
Let's try Andrea in Berkeley. She's never let me down.
Not one time has she let me down. Our friend Andrea. Hello, Andrea,
these sports sorceress, and she's got all the info and
all the stars and even random baseball players that get
big contracts. Is that correct, Andrea?
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Yes, Virgoing Service, that's.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Right, Virgoing Service on the X machine formerly known as Twitter.
She has a how do you need that? Newsletter? A
few times a year.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Right, yes, around The next one will be the fall equinox,
then the winter solstice. All right, very good, Spring equinox,
summer solstice, you know, around, you know, different events, but
always around the equinox and solstice when there's a lot
of planetary changes and so on. But I just really
(20:23):
enjoy your show, and I was thinking of you as
watching Aaron Rogers, you know, because the forty nine Ers
and the Jets are gonna play. But I called about
Matt Chapman because that's the talk of the town.
Speaker 5 (20:36):
I'm in the Bay Area, and you know our times
are things that bleak and Bay Areas sports that this
is the talk of the town here.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
I mean, my god, we got the Niners. They're good.
What are we doing here?
Speaker 5 (20:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (20:47):
No, no, A lot of stuff was about the Niners.
But they did get the press conference in. And you know,
it's not every day that there's a six year extension
for one hundred and fifty one million dollars, So it's.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Only it seems like it's only every other day these
days that they're handing out these colossal contracts. But yeah,
I don't get this one. He's going to be thirty
two right right next year, and he's a defensive guy.
As you get older, you slow down a little bit,
your range gets a little I don't care how ripped
you are, how jacked you are, your range goes down
(21:23):
a little bit. And hey, it's not my money, so
good for him. I hope. I saw a lot of
garlic fries.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Yeah, well, there you go. And you know he's a
trust like you, so you know, enjoy every by Taurus
likes their comfort food. He's April twenty eighth and nineteen
ninety three, and he's born in California, and you know,
Taurus likes consistency and you know, change not so much.
So it makes sense that he wanted to stay in California.
(21:49):
He's played with, you know, under Bob Melvin before and
Matt Williams, so you know, there was like a nice
kind of comfort zone there for him. And what's interesting
those six years. I'm still doing my due diligence on
his forecast for the next six years, but I know
next year Mars is a crucial planet for an athlete,
(22:10):
as Mars and Leo rule's energy assertion aggression. Pluto is
in Aquarius opposing as Mars, which sent me some power struggles.
But you know, I mean that's his guaranteed job. But
there's just something there, some kind of power struggle or class.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Well, there's the struggle will be the giants to make
the playoffs over the course of that contract. That'll be
the start.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Well, there you go again. Nothing is guaranteed if you
spend a lot. I mean, I'm a Mets fan, and you.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Know, well, good luck because the Dodgers are there's no
end to the Dodgers regular season success. And listen the Padres.
I think they're gonna start trading guys away, but for now,
they have a good team in Arizona. Looks like they're
going to be set up for the next few years
to have good teams. So the Giants are behind the
eight ball.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Yeah, it'll be interesting, you know, they're showing you know,
the wild card and how many games out and what
Matt Chapman's extension means for the free agent market. But
I will say Scott Boris is a scorpio, and he
drives a very hard bargain.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Ben, he drives a hard bargain, but a really nice car.
So he's got a hard bargain but nice car. All right,
Well we'll leave it there here and yeah, people go
watch Benny. Yeah, benyvers a penny right. I know you're
one of my loyal mingus.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Thank you for that, Thank you. That was my next question.
A new episode is on yes tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (24:07):
What does she get for that, Eddie? Do we give
her something? Well, I mean just mentioning her name on
the Yeah, she doesn't get any publicity. Nobody's talking about her,
so it's good that we're doing that.
Speaker 6 (24:18):
Oh, she gets some praise. But I mean for us
to give her that praise, I mean, that's Trump's everything else.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Yeah, I mean, forget the fact that the company's mandating
you say her name is during the updates. I mean,
that's that doesn't matter at all. I mean, my god,
the fact that we mentioned her there very important. We
have some fun fun fun fun fun facts are you ready. Yeah,
so about those fun facts. In the first half. In
(24:43):
the first half of the game that was played last night,
Lamar Jackson averaged zero point eight air yards per pass
attempt on eighteen attempts. I didn't even know that was possible. Now,
I like to rip Dak Prescott. I all, I'm dickon
and dunk Dak. But this is next level. Uh it's wild.
(25:05):
He threw just two passes more than four yards downfield
in the first half. Now, the second half was was better,
but man alive, that was that was bananas. That was
absolutely bananas. Uh So that is the fun fact of
the art. Now, I wanna I want to run this
by because I don't understand this, and I have some
(25:26):
messages out I know some some boosters at our they
claim to be maybe they're lying to me and people
lie to me all the time. These they they've given
me some good dirt over the years on USC Football,
University of selling Cal And I want to run this by.
So this show, by the way, sponsored by DraftKings. Stay
tuned because you'll hear more about DraftKings and all it
(25:47):
has to offer throughout the show DraftKings. The Crown is
youre so USC announced they are honoring the current Chicago
Bears quarterback their former quarterback, Caleb Williams. In a massive move,
they are retiring his number. They were tiring the man's number.
Now number thirteen will not be worn again unless some
(26:08):
guy is a top recruit begs for it. For the
University of Southern California, he said, well, you won the husband. Okay,
he won the Heisman. You know what the record was
for Caleb Williams. I think eighteen and eight was his
record at SC. They never made the college football Playoff
and if I'm not mistaken, even they are a couple
(26:30):
years they didn't win the conference. They didn't win the
Pac twelve. So that's the standard to have the number retired?
Speaker 6 (26:39):
Is it a thing where they've retired all the other
Heisman winners so they have to do him.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
I don't know. I'm just telling you like that, If
that's the case, they should stop. That should be like,
what are we doing here?
Speaker 6 (26:50):
I saw they brought back Reggie Bush's retired number as well.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
They retire, Yeah, they're gonna retire. They unretired.
Speaker 6 (26:57):
Yeah, they retired it. But then when he got in trouble,
they were and that he's gotten his heisman back and
all that day bringing it back.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
I loved back in the day. I used to go
to those games all the time and they had OJ's
number up.
Speaker 8 (27:08):
There, and still they still have number.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
You do still have it yet. It's awesome. It is
just great. They're like, hey, we don't care, you know.
Speaker 9 (27:17):
Double murder, eh, booster taking booster money.
Speaker 8 (27:21):
You're out of here.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Yeah, exactly, have your parents get a house for free now,
chop two people's heads off, No problem, We're good. Anyway,
Let's get to the coop scoop on entertainment, all right,
for Holly on, all right for Holly wod and get
you ready for the weekend with the Kooper Loop.
Speaker 8 (27:40):
All right, thank you.
Speaker 7 (27:40):
Ben.
Speaker 9 (27:41):
Now, usually we do, you know, movies and TV in
this in this segment, but you know, it is an
entertainment segment. So every now and then I branch off
into some other stuff when there's big news, and I
did want to mention Lincoln Park made a huge announcement today.
Speaker 8 (27:57):
They are reuniting with a new lead.
Speaker 9 (28:00):
Singer to take the place of the the deceased Chester Bennington,
and that new singer is Emily Armstrong, a female vocalist
who used to be the front woman for a band
called Dead Sarah.
Speaker 8 (28:17):
Never heard of her, never heard of the band?
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Is Sarah Dead? No, because she's not there anymore.
Speaker 8 (28:25):
Her name is Emily. I don't know who Sarah is,
but I mean, I don't know. I know nothing about
the band, but I did.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
I didn't realize these band people are like athletes. They
just moved from band to band. I didn't realize you
have something to stay with the band.
Speaker 8 (28:36):
Sometimes that happens.
Speaker 9 (28:38):
But I did did click a little clip of them
performing live, and she sounds pretty good, so it should
be interesting. They're coming out with new music, new album
with her, and you know, a new tour. So check
that out if you were a big Lincoln Park fan.
And now moving over to the theaters this weekend, there
is there's one movie that everybody's talking about, of course,
(29:00):
is Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice, the sequel to Tim Burton's classic, and.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Oh yeah, they this is great. So when I was
in I visited Arnie, our our friend, our colleague, the
great Arnie Spaniard, the stinking genius in Burlington and in Burlington, Vermont,
and we were driving around he's like, oh yeah, we
filmed Beetlejuice over here. He's like it was hilarious, Like
he just casually, Oh yeah, they filmed the scene for
Beetle Juice.
Speaker 8 (29:24):
Over in that in that original Beetlejuice or the new one.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Okay, and Arnie said, this is classic Arnie. He's like
they were they were at there's so few people in Burlington,
they needed people to be extras in Beetlejuice. And Arnie's like,
I didn't want to spend all day there, so I
didn't so lazy, he's so late.
Speaker 9 (29:40):
Well, of course, you know this has the returning stars.
Michael Keaton is Beetlejuice, Winona Ryder, Katherine O'Hara, and then
Jenna Ortega is the newcomer plays Lydia's daughter in the movie.
Speaker 8 (29:54):
Oh yes, and I want to bring this up, this
movie up.
Speaker 9 (29:58):
This movie came out last weekend and then I don't
think I mentioned it during Coop Scoop because it's kind
of on a lower scale.
Speaker 8 (30:04):
There's only like at my local theater, there's only one
showing a day.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Standard.
Speaker 9 (30:09):
Well, I just I don't know, I don't know if
it's just not a wide release or what. But the
movie is called Strange Darling, and it was fantastic. I
definitely recommend seeing it. It is basically a one night
stand that spirals into a serial killer's vicious murder spree.
Speaker 8 (30:25):
But you know it's not.
Speaker 9 (30:27):
Not everything is as it seems. So that is that
is in theaters right now. I highly recommend that one
as stars Willa Fitzgerald and Giovanni.
Speaker 8 (30:37):
Ribisi is in it.
Speaker 9 (30:38):
He's also the uh, the director of photography in this movie,
which is interest.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
Do that is?
Speaker 1 (30:44):
I do?
Speaker 6 (30:45):
Yes, I do? Okay, I didn't think you did.
Speaker 8 (30:48):
No, he doesn't, Yeah, he doesn't.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
There was a picture that Dodgers had named Giovanni years ago,
but that's probably not the.
Speaker 8 (30:54):
Same person, all right.
Speaker 9 (30:55):
And then moving over to television real quick, Uh we
have now.
Speaker 8 (30:59):
I just wanted to bring this up.
Speaker 9 (31:01):
It's not something that I necessarily want to you know
that I'm recommending. But it's interesting now because you know,
we've had we had the shift over to podcasts, and
then podcasts became a huge thing, and now we're getting
shows based off of podcasts.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
I'm offended by. I missed radio in movies. I don't
like shows based on it. Doesn't make as good a
movie plotline. I think I have to record a podcast
anywhere at any time. You never know when these things
are recorded. Well, this one you do because we're up
all night but doing the stupid thing. But like, do
you know when, like Joe Rogan, people sent me Joe
(31:40):
Rogan podcast, you know when he does his podcast, when
he records it.
Speaker 8 (31:43):
I don't know like what day of the week or
when when he does it.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Yeah, you know, I have no idea. You could do
it right now or whenever? Who knows?
Speaker 8 (31:49):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 9 (31:50):
So this, I mean, this is a true crime podcast,
so it's kind of got that going. But it's called
Fight Night the Million Dollar Heist. It's got a bunch
of big names, Kevin Hard, Samuel L. Jackson, don Chi.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
Heard of those people? Yeah, who those people are?
Speaker 9 (32:03):
So it's got pretty good reviews. It's on It's on
Peacock all right.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
You know what else is on Peacock Coop Benny versus
the Pah and also the NFL game today. I'm hoping
we get a lot of people to watch the Eagles.
That's only on Peacock to Eagles and Packers from Brazil,
And I'm gonna scream at the NBC executives because they
took the page down and then they're gonna put it
back up later today, the benny versus the penny page.
(32:29):
So I'm gonna you know, I have a lot of
power over there, Coop, so I'm sure you do. Yeah. Oh,
they won't yell at me. I'll yell at them clearly.
Speaker 8 (32:36):
All right.
Speaker 9 (32:37):
And because I'm limited for time, I'm gonna skip ahead.
The last thing that I wanted to mention. I'm super
excited about this. It is a documentary, right it is.
I've talked about this before, but it is finally here.
It is called Wise Guy, David Chase and the Sopranos,
and this is getting rave reviews. It is a documentary
about the making of the Sopranos.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
Oh nice, Yes, all right? What is that on?
Speaker 9 (33:01):
That is gonna be on HBO Saturday night at eight pm,
and it is also available to stream on Max.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
Awesome. I want to watch that. I met a guy
who told this guy from Boston, who ran a chop
shop in Boston years ago, who claimed that some of
the stories and the Sopranos were from him. He might
have been just lying to me, but he did look
like a guy that could have been in the Sopranos.
So I don't know.
Speaker 8 (33:27):
Maybe we'll learn about it here in this documentary.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
Yeah yeah, all right, thank you for that, Coop. And
we need some contestants for Sports Jeopardy eight seven, seven
ninety nine on Fox. Also, I did want to mention
this as story developing. The tabloids in London are claiming
there's a rift brewing between Taylor Swift and Britney Mahomes.
They did not sit together at the game. I don't know,
(33:50):
this is I love this, It's kind of bullcrap. We
don't have time to get to it now. We keep
an eye on that. I'm sure the tabloids have a
field day with that, problems between Kelsey and Mahomes because
of their lady friends. Right ahead those Sports Jeopardy. We
get to that. We'll do it next.
