Speaker 1 (00:00):
We go. It's our number four. Our number four is
ready to go. And here in our number four, which
side of the aisle are you on? With the Rams
publicly recruiting Aaron Donald for a late season return. Also,
what is your takeaway from Woody Johnson being on the
warpath over these nfl PA report cards. The Jets owner

(00:24):
is not happy and taking legal action and Mike Tomlin
some say should bench Aaron Rodgers for Mason Rudolph in Pittsburgh.
Believe it or don't believe it. Have a wonderful, wonderful weekend.
Enjoy the Fifth Hour podcast all weekend and Benny Versus
the Penny on YouTube Benny Vspenny. Here's our number four,

(00:46):
looking for that late season bumpany bump. Welcome in the
beginning of another hour of the Ben Malor Show. We
are in the air freewhere as we are carving stone
coast to coast, border to border and beyond on the

(01:08):
vast and let me tell you it is absolutely ludicrously powerful.
Microphones of fsre ammnating live from the line as we

We had a Thursday night NFL game and the New
England Patriots a business like effort.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
They did not dominate the Jets.

Speaker 1 (02:59):
It was a close game at the early part of
the fourth quarter, but the Patriots ended up winning the game.
Did not cover the spread. If you got it at thirteen,
you pushed. If you got it at thirteen and a half,
you lost.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
And Drake may I didn't really help his MVP campaign.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
We did a monologue about it earlier. We've been here
all night, so you want to check that out. You
certainly can, and it'll be up after the show. We
did a full monologue on the Patriots and the Jets,
but the Patriots had.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
Won eight in a row. Drake may only one.

Speaker 1 (03:28):
Touchdown pass in that game against a really rag time
defense there for the Jets. But our lead this hour
is from Inglewood, from the Hood and Inglewood and up
to no good. The rams lms looking for reinforcements. You
can't get any reinforcements. The trade deadlines already come dummy.

(03:52):
You can't get anyone else on the RAMS. Well, not
so fast, my friend, maybe there is help on the horizon.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
If you saw this or not.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
The NVP candidate, I don't want to say MVP favorite,
although some of the sportsbooks have Matthew Stafford as the
MVP favorite. Matthew Stafford recently revealed that he has made
not one, but multiple recruiting text messages and phone calls
to former defensive stalwart, Defensive Player of the Year, one

(04:26):
of the all time greats in the NFL, Aaron Donald
developing hot dot dot dot. So Stafford speaking on some
fledgling jock podcast. There's a million of them. Interesting, these
jock podcasts don't take three months to get started, like
Blair and Maine to start anyway. So Stafford speaking on

(04:49):
this some podcast, told Aaron Donald, who was also on
the podcast, that he's planning on hitting up, hitting up,
hitting him up again, uh, and he advised him to
continue to live. Waits now, Donald, if you've forgotten, I
have played in a couple of years, eight time first
Team All Pro, three time Defensive Player of the Year.

(05:10):
He quit on the NFL. He gave up on his
career following the twenty twenty three season. However, the Rams
have always left the door open. It's like we'll leave
the light on for you, like that hotel chain. They've
left the light on and they have not shut the door.
Even though Donald now is in his mid thirties, he's

(05:30):
thirty four years old, a defensive phantom that could return
just in time for the playoffs.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
So will he come back?

Speaker 1 (05:40):
Inquiring minds would like to know. Let us discuss. That's
the good jumping off points.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
So the question.

Speaker 1 (05:46):
Which side of the ale are you on with the
Rams recruiting Aaron Donald. Matthew Safford not hiding from it
that the Rams are trying to add Aaron Donald before
the late season push, and we'll he do it. So
my take on this, I've got Alice in Wonderland, roach

(06:06):
infested facilities and chief lobbyist, and we will combine all
of these things together and we're gonna make the one
and only Baba gsh.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
We're gonna make the Baba Ganoosh is what we're gonna make.
Not to kick off.

Speaker 1 (06:21):
I love the fact that Matthew Stafford realizes.

Speaker 2 (06:25):
The Rams need a little more.

Speaker 1 (06:27):
That they have a good team, but you need a
little a little extra, little extra spice, and you gotta
fine tune the recipe, and so Stafford is out here
doing his best late night telemarketer impression, calling Aaron Donald like, hey,
big guy up, we'd love to have you. You know,

(06:49):
you could ram it all day and ram it all
night again. And you look on a tablet and in
theory like these things always sound great, Like we get
one of these every.

Speaker 2 (06:59):
Year, whether it's recently it was JJ Watt, would he
come back? And now it's Aaron Donald.

Speaker 1 (07:06):
And in theory, if you imagine, you let your mind wander,
you're like, oh.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
Man, that would be amazing.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
This guy's got all those Defensive Players of the Year
awards and all these all Pro honors, and he's a
Hall of Famer and all this stuff. And so Aaron
Donald is like the Boogeyman for the Rams. You just
drop him back in the ram defense and flag us
up and you take the checker fly.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
You're cooking with gas. You're cooking with gas.

Speaker 1 (07:33):
But then reality kicks in, right, and this is what
I call Alice in Wonderland syndrome. Things look bigger, they
look better, they look shinier than they actually are, and
people forget that the dude Aaron Donald walked away because
he was burned out on football. He didn't want to
play football anymore. If he wanted to play football, he

(07:54):
could have kept playing football. He didn't want to do
it. It wasn't because the RAMS said you can't play anymore.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
It was because the RAMS said, we don't want you anymore.
He just don't want to play.

Speaker 1 (08:02):
And Sean McVay, who has regularly been nothing but slobber,
chops knee pads McVeigh when it comes to Aaron Donald,
right and so practically drooling, saying that Donald had the
best competitive stamina ever and all this stuff. And now
you have Matthew Stafford, who's on the record to the

(08:23):
face of Aaron Donald on some podcast that thinks he
can just summon Aaron Donald like it's beetlejuice. Say his
name three times and the past rusher shall appear.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
Aaron Donald, Aaron Donald, Aaron Donald. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
So here's the other side to the story. Two years
removed from the NFL. Two years that's like twenty years
for a defensive lineman in his mid thirties. I don't
care if he's been lifting and working out and all
that stuff. Does he still have the fire in his belly?
Does he have the passion for the game. Can't his

(09:00):
body hold up? You're gonna bring him in here?

Speaker 2 (09:03):
And are you getting the.

Speaker 1 (09:04):
Guy that was a monster masher in twenty twenty and
years prior, or are you getting a thirty four year
old guy who's like waking up without pain for the
first time in ten years and he's enjoying his life,
And like, this is one of those ideas that and

(09:25):
I know the RAMS are behind this, but a lot
of the fans are like, oh, that's nostalgia, it's heartstrings,
it's great and often you're better off letting sleeping dogs lie,
let retired legends stay retired, and that's.

Speaker 2 (09:39):
It all right now.

Speaker 1 (09:40):
Furthermore, we pivot now to Jersey. Prior to the Jets
losing to the Patriots in the Thursday night game where
it was.

Speaker 2 (09:48):
Rob Gronkowski night.

Speaker 1 (09:50):
There in Foxborough, we learned that the NFL filed a
grievance against the Players Association.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
Good news for lawyers, bad news for everyone else.

Speaker 1 (10:01):
Turns out that the National Football League, protecting the shield
the NFL is asking the union to cease and desist
their annual tradition of outing naughty NFL owners. Turns out
that the robber barons of football do not appreciate having

(10:21):
their dirty laundry aired via a report card. Now, this
thing normally comes out around the Super Bowl. Sometimes I
guess a little after it, a little after it, and
it's great fodder. It's great fodder for those of us
that do guess baggery. We get to talk about it,
and you know how that team do. So, the NFL

(10:41):
owners are claiming that this violates the Collective Bargaining Agreement.

Speaker 2 (10:46):
Better known as the CBA. Now, Woody Johnson the a's
that's right, Woody Johnson.

Speaker 1 (10:53):
That's the aristocrat that owns legits, the oligarch, the Johnson
and Johnson Guy. Woody Johnson is said to be the
man behind the grievance.

Speaker 2 (11:05):
He's got a you know what up has.

Speaker 1 (11:08):
Took us, And he referred to the report card as
totally bogus. He's made that quote in the past. Now,
Woody was one of the only NFL owners. I think
he might have been the only NFL owner receive an
F grade. They've done this for a few years. I
think he was the only one this past year.

Speaker 2 (11:27):
In the NFL.

Speaker 1 (11:27):
Players Association Annual team report Card, the thing.

Speaker 2 (11:33):
Of a jig what you might call it.

Speaker 1 (11:34):
So the question, what is your takeaway from the Jets
owner Woody Johnson being on the war path over these
NFLPA report cards and leading the charge.

Speaker 2 (11:48):
He's the one said to be behind this. There's no
other owner.

Speaker 1 (11:51):
This was Woody Johnson's pet project to file the grievance
against the players Association. So on this one, it's an
Okham's razor situation. It's billionaire fragility at its finest right.
And this is validation. Now, I love as a gas

(12:13):
bag hot take validation. You've heard me pat myself on
the back. I actually pulled the muscle two months ago
because I patted myself on the back.

Speaker 2 (12:20):
Who I had such a great take. This job's not
that easy, the thing.

Speaker 1 (12:23):
I just sit here in a dark studio and just
hot takes roll off. I'm a silver tongue devil and
my hot takes.

Speaker 2 (12:31):
Just don't know. It's not that easy. It's not right.

Speaker 1 (12:34):
So the NFL mocked Woody Johnson, and now Woody Johnson's like, okay,
let's make this a federal case.

Speaker 2 (12:41):
Okay, this is a grievance.

Speaker 1 (12:44):
The legal filings, league wide handwringing, all of that all
because the Jets owner doesn't like being told that his
bathrooms smell like a bus station on the Jersey Turnpike.

Speaker 2 (12:58):
He doesn't like it. Yeah, it's the classic rich guy move.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
You embarrass me, so now I need to shut down
the thing that embarrassed me, and you are the thing
that embarrassed me. Now, the kicker on this is that
if you go by the letter of the law, not
the spirit of the law, but the.

Speaker 2 (13:20):
Letter of the law, technically the owners are in the right.

Speaker 1 (13:24):
This is not scientific, it's not every player took part.
It's not vetted the way the Collective Bartying Agreement says
that this is hilarious, and this is one of the
points that was being made in the story. That's bouncing
around the echo chamber is Woody Johnson, and the NFL
is like, well, everything has to be.

Speaker 2 (13:43):
Done with both the players and the owners.

Speaker 1 (13:46):
So he wanted, as I understand it, Woody Johnson's argument
is it's not a fair survey even though it was
done by the NFLPA for NFL players. I guess he
wants support staff, trainers and team cooks to be a
part of it, which is pretty wild. I mean, this

(14:07):
is just yelped with shoulder pads. Now, regardless, the NFL
owners look terrible, terrible, Charles Barkley would say, just terrible
for fighting this. The optics, the optics are catastrophic. Okay,
you are a multi billion dollar empire and you're trying

(14:28):
to argue that workplace report cards hurt your feelings. Now,
the NFLPA I mentioned hot take validation. They poked the bear,
and the bear woke up with its hair on fire.
And let me add this all right, the players do

(14:48):
not exactly come out smelling like roses either.

Speaker 2 (14:52):
They don't.

Speaker 1 (14:53):
They sound like the world's most pampered collection of cry babies.
The NFL players, I've done the same ran every year.
I'm sure I'll do it again next season if they
have this fugazy thing yet again. That you have these
guys is oh, my locker room is too small.

Speaker 2 (15:12):
The team playing is not brand new. My favorite is
the daycar, the daycare. The daycare. Oh, they've got the
wrong snacks and daycare. They charged too much for the daycare.

Speaker 1 (15:25):
It's a bunch of hogwash, right, and I'll be there
back in the day guy, right, you know, back in
We've had some old NFL players come in here. And
my favorite old time NFL player a guy named Fred
Dryer who played in the seventies and played in the eighties,
and you know, a long time ago. Fred's a great
guy at a career in Hollywood, and he listens to

(15:45):
this show. He might be listening right now for all
I know. And Fred would come in every once in
a while and tell stories about his days with the
La Rams. Played for the Giants and the Rams, didn't
he was supposed to play for the Patriots, didn't want
play for the Patriots.

Speaker 2 (15:56):
Play for the Giants and the Rams. Old school.

Speaker 1 (15:58):
He tells you about playing for the Rams, and they'd
have to go out to practice. The players would have
to go out practice early, and before they could practice,
they had to go there was a line like they
were searching for a needle in a haystack. But the
line across the field would be to pick up divots
in the field so they could practice without breaking their
ankles because the fields were so crappy, right, And you

(16:23):
know again, these guys would they would brag about roach
infested facilities and ice bass colder.

Speaker 2 (16:28):
Than the Arctic.

Speaker 1 (16:30):
And now now these dudes today, like they would they
melt like a stick of butter. If they if they
had have a warehouse job or drive an eighteen wheeler
like a lot of you boys are doing right now.
Oh my god, they wouldn't.

Speaker 2 (16:43):
Last one day one day.

Speaker 1 (16:46):
And the owners, you know, they look bad also, right
fighting to stop a report card. They're and treating this
thing like his water gate or something like that, as ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (16:55):
Our last thing, we go to.

Speaker 1 (16:56):
Pittsburg, PA, the land of the terrible and the terrible
football team, at least on Sunday night. How bad was it?
It was so bad that former Steelers defensive lineman Chris.

Speaker 2 (17:08):
Hoak he went on the radio and said that if Aaron.

Speaker 1 (17:12):
Rodgers continues to play the way Aaron Rodgers is playing,
that it is imperative that the team benches Aaron Rodgers
for backup quarterback Mason Rudolph, the red nose quarterback. Our question,
you make the call. You are Mike Tomlin, you are

(17:36):
the head coach in Pittsburgh. You're Mike Tomlin. Should you
bench Aaron Rodgers for Mason Rudolph with the Steelers? And
more importantly, do you believe it or don't believe it
that that's even an option?

Speaker 2 (17:51):
So I'm gonna go first because you're not here.

Speaker 1 (17:53):
I mean you're there, but you're not online, and I'm
gonna go first.

Speaker 2 (17:56):
So the answer is I am agnostic on this one.

Speaker 1 (18:00):
I don't buy that there's a world other than injury
that Aaron Rodgers ends up getting benched.

Speaker 2 (18:06):
I just don't believe in it.

Speaker 1 (18:07):
Mike Tomlin knows exactly what Mason Rudolph is. He is
iceberg lettuce with no dressing. There's no sizzle, there's no
there there. The guy is the human side salad. He's
a side salad of the human creation. He exists. So
you don't starve. Not because he's good, not because he's good.

(18:31):
And look, Aaron Rodgers had a bad night at the office,
a bad night.

Speaker 2 (18:36):
I was at that game. I saw first three quarters,
I'd a lead for the fourth quarter. Do this dumb show.

Speaker 1 (18:41):
But Rogers was not good and he was looking like
he needed the early bird special at three thirty in
the afternoon. Some eggs and some grits and that's it. However,
let's not pretend that we live in a world where
the Pittsburgh Steels offense only became milk toast, which is
also on the menu. The moment that Rogers got there.

(19:05):
This thing has been flavorless since way before Rogers and
even the last couple of years. Ben Roethlisberger was there
when he was old, an old Geezer quarterback. They weren't
very good then, So during Rogers' brief time, they've been blah.
There've been a couple of decent performances, but mostly a
flavorless offense for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Speaker 2 (19:28):
Now.

Speaker 1 (19:28):
As for Chris Hoak, nondescript roster spam guy, at this point,
I believe he is a secret sleeper agent for Mason Rudolph,
that he's the president, the CEO, the chief lobbyist of
the Mason Rudolph fan Club.

Speaker 2 (19:49):
Chris Hoak.

Speaker 1 (19:50):
In fact, I would argue, and I don't think I'm
wrong on this, that there is nobody on God's green
Earth that loves Mason Rudolph more than Chris Hoak. Rudolph's parents,
not his wife. I don't know if he has kids,
but if he does, not them, and not even Rudolph
himself loves Mason Rudolph as much as Chris ho Hoax

(20:11):
out here, Like YO, remember Mason Rudolph, He's tall, he
knows how to wear a helmet, he can urinate without
missing the bowl.

Speaker 2 (20:20):
Put him in Like every man, woman.

Speaker 1 (20:23):
And child knows that Rogers is gonna ride and die
alongside Mike Tomlin unless he gets hurt.

Speaker 2 (20:31):
There's no wiggle room. There's no extra elbow, but there
is wiggle room as far.

Speaker 1 (20:35):
As the elbow room. He's gonna Rogers elbowing people. He's
gonna elbow them in the face. But he can put
the recliner back, have the foot rest out, the whole thing,
because the only thing, the only thing more dangerous than
benching Aaron Rodgers, if you're Mike Tomlin, is handing the
keys to the kingdom to Mason Rudolph because he puts

(20:58):
the terrible in terrible towel hoping that some kind of
magic carpet ride takes place. Spoiler alert, spoiler alert, It's
not gonna happen. Isn't Rudolph isn't a quarterback controversy. He
is a JS quarterback job security. He's the reason that
Aaron Rodgers sleeps all right, that in the ayahuasca, that

(21:19):
in the ayahuasca, nothing to worry about. It is the

(23:57):
go back to it as we yapped the night away
here and I do.

Speaker 2 (24:02):
Have Sports Jeopardy coming up a little bit later the hour.

Speaker 1 (24:05):
Some of the things we were going to get to
we did not get to. A bad job by us.
Throughout the overnight hours. I saw that Will Campbell, the Patriots'
first round pick this year. Will Campbell, offensive lineman who,
if I remember the draft coverage, has tiny arms, Will Campbell,
and Drake May who has tiny he has tiny hands.

(24:27):
So Will Campbell said that Patriot quarterback Drake May is
the quote best player.

Speaker 2 (24:33):
In the NFL, so according to Will Campbell, and he's
not wrong.

Speaker 1 (24:38):
He's not wrong because the term best means as good
as all the rest. So Drake May is as good
as every other quarterback in the NFL at least, so
he is the best player in the NFL. Also, everyone's
trying to get some engagement farming going with the Giants job.
There have been reports saying that Bill Belichick is going
to get an interview. There are reports saying that the

(25:00):
Giants want nothing to do with Bill Belichick. And another
name has been tossed out, Ryan Day.

Speaker 2 (25:07):
Yes, that Ryan Day from the Ohio State University and that.

Speaker 1 (25:12):
People say, well, he'd be a perfect fit Ryan Day
if he went to the Giants.

Speaker 2 (25:16):
It would be so good good luck on that. It's
fascinating because Ryan.

Speaker 1 (25:21):
Day a year and ago, I believe it was a
year ago, everyone thought he's done at Ohio State.

Speaker 2 (25:27):
They're not gonna win, They're not gonna win.

Speaker 1 (25:29):
They won the championship, I know, but before that it
was like, oh, he's just not cut out.

Speaker 2 (25:33):
For Ohio State. Now they're talking about him.

Speaker 1 (25:35):
Going to the NFL and the Baseball Hotstole League really
getting cranked up.

Speaker 2 (25:39):
In about two.

Speaker 1 (25:40):
Weeks, well actually more than two weeks of Thanksgiving. After Thanksgiving,
the winter meetings will be taking place. And is Pete
Alonso angling to leave the New York Mets and where
would he go?

Speaker 2 (25:54):
Last year, the rumor was he was gonna go to Toronto.

Speaker 1 (25:56):
This year, the first team that I've seen mentioned prominently
for Peter A Lonzo the Baltimore Orioles.

Speaker 2 (26:05):
As a possibility.

Speaker 1 (26:06):
Off to check with My Guy's Sports with Coleman to
see if that's the case. And a handy down coat
from the goat a viral image from the Thursday night
NFL game. Last night, you might have seen it. Even
our blind listeners have seen it that the everyone goofing
around on Drake May who was sitting It was a
cool night at the Patriots game last night, and Drake

(26:28):
May was spotted on camera sitting in the giant coat.

Speaker 2 (26:34):
Remember Tom Brady.

Speaker 2 (30:18):
I can't hear whatever?

Speaker 3 (30:19):
You're hero? All right, nice hero, thanks Marcell. Alright, Uh,
today we're gonna start off.

Speaker 8 (30:27):
A little bit differently on Coop Scoop and Entertainment because
normally we start in the theaters. But I have something
else that I want to point out. I wanted to
do this last week, but I've forgotten. Then Loraina yelled
at me.

Speaker 3 (30:36):
I did, I yelled, so I remembered this week?

Speaker 2 (30:39):
Should yell Lorrena. It's not polite here? Can we all
get along?

Speaker 3 (30:43):
I did forget?

Speaker 6 (30:43):
No.

Speaker 8 (30:45):
Uh So, for you Harry Potter fans out there, there
are some new Harry Potter audio books, the first of
which The Sorcerer's Stone or Philosopher's Stone, if you're in the.

Speaker 1 (30:58):
UK now, Coop, I've been called fraud by Supermarket because
I only saw the first Harry Potter film.

Speaker 2 (31:03):
I didn't watch any of the other ones. Does that
make me a fake Harry Potter? I didn't. I mean
it was fine. I thought the first one was fine.

Speaker 3 (31:07):
I didn't watch any of the Well.

Speaker 8 (31:09):
If you call yourself a Harry Potter fan, then yes
I would. I would say no, I'm not.

Speaker 2 (31:13):
I'll quote Harry Pottery once in a while. Supermarket Steve
loses his mind. You shouldn't do that.

Speaker 3 (31:19):
Yeah, you should see the rest of them.

Speaker 2 (31:21):
I'm good.

Speaker 3 (31:22):
Well, anyway, you know what better yet?

Speaker 8 (31:24):
You should listen to these audiobooks, Ben, because obviously there
were already audio books for Harry Potter, but they redid
them with one hundred person cast, so you've got all
different voices, you've got sound effects, it's completely immersive.

Speaker 3 (31:39):
It's pretty awesome.

Speaker 8 (31:40):
I forced Loraina to download the first book and listen
to it as well. It's it's pretty great and it's
exclusively on audible, So check that out if you're a
Harry Potter fan.

Speaker 3 (31:51):
All right, now moving to theaters.

Speaker 8 (31:53):
In theaters this week, we have a remake, a remake
of a classic.

Speaker 1 (31:59):
They never make makes in Hollywood cop now never Oh yeah,
only original ideas, always new ideas.

Speaker 8 (32:05):
This one is the Running Man. Oh did you see
the original Running Man?

Speaker 2 (32:10):
I believe I did, actually, but I don't. It's been
When did that come out?

Speaker 9 (32:14):
Though?

Speaker 3 (32:14):
We want to say like the eighties?

Speaker 2 (32:16):
I mean, yeah, I think I remember, but I don't.
Eighty seven it sounds yeah, that's that's right. In my wheelhouse.

Speaker 1 (32:22):
I went to the movies every weekend when I was
a kid, every weekend.

Speaker 3 (32:26):
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 8 (32:27):
So this one, however, stars god what is what is
this guy's name?

Speaker 3 (32:33):
Glenn Powell and Glenn Powell.

Speaker 8 (32:36):
Yes, Josh Josh Brolin is in this as well, and uh,
pretty pretty good reviews so far on this one from
the critics. Also in theaters this weekend is Now You
See Me, Now You Don't. This is the third installment
of the Magician Turn Thieves, Heist Movie. They're not good films,

(33:01):
but they're they're fun. They're a good time and everybody
from the other two.

Speaker 2 (33:06):
Are you saying they're not gonna win any awards?

Speaker 8 (33:08):
Yes, I can confidently say that they are not gonna
be winning any awards, but all of the old characters
from the other installments are back. Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg,
Dave Franco, Isla Fisher, Mark Ruffalo, et cetera.

Speaker 3 (33:22):
They're all in it, Morgan Freeman.

Speaker 8 (33:24):
So check that out. It's probably it's probably a good time,
a fun time with the movies. And moving over to television,
we have this new show on Netflix. It is a
limited series. It's called The Beast in Me. It is
available right now. It's an eight episode thriller and follows
a writer. Yes, follows a writer played by Claire Danes

(33:46):
who suffers from writer's block as she continues to deal
with the death of her son, but she finds unlikely
inspiration in the form of her new neighbor, a famous
real estate mogul who was once suspected of murdering his wife.
Brit Britney Snow and Jonathan Banks also starring that and
last but not least, I don't normally do this, but
I'm going to bring up a a.

Speaker 3 (34:07):
Foreign series because it sounds kind of fun.

Speaker 8 (34:11):
It's a competition well it's a it's a drama, but
it's kind of it's based on a competition series. So
it's kind of like Squid Games, but this is the
Japanese version, so it's called Last Samurai Standing and that
is also on Netflix.

Speaker 2 (34:24):
Oh, they chop each other's heads off.

Speaker 3 (34:26):
Yeah. It's set in the late nineteenth century Japan.

Speaker 2 (34:29):
Right, all right, blood in the air everywhere, Right.

Speaker 8 (34:32):
It finds two hundred and ninety two skilled warriors competing
in a lethal battle royale style race from Kyoto to
Tokyo with the goal of winning a one hundred billion
yen grand prize.

Speaker 1 (34:45):
That's great, y I had an idea, Coop, why don't
we pull some money together and put the Housekeeper Olympics
on television.

Speaker 2 (34:53):
How about that? We can make it like a Netflix thing.

Speaker 3 (34:55):
I'm surprised that's not on television.

Speaker 9 (34:57):

Things they don't do. Toilet cleaning. That's a very important
job for the house.

Speaker 2 (35:10):
It is, and like we and we could.

Speaker 1 (35:13):
I have all these ideas. I don't know if I
should give this stuff away for free. But like at
the end of every contest. Somebody goes in there, you
know those lights that you can see all the dirt,
you know, yeah, blay yeah yeah, go in there and

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
