0:00
Speaker 1: Omaha, Omaha. It's audible time. Our number four, Our number four.
0:06
Speaker 1: We go now to North Carolina, where Bill Belichick is
0:10
Speaker 1: making headlines yet again.
0:11
Speaker 2: Is North Carolina.
0:12
Speaker 1: Risking its own identity and culture by leaning so hard
0:16
Speaker 1: on Bill Belichick and his fame? He got an endorsement
0:19
Speaker 1: from the school president. And rather than build on the
0:23
Speaker 1: team from within and all that, North Carolina, they're doubling
0:26
Speaker 1: down on Belichick. Also, Belichick was ranked as the fifty
0:30
Speaker 1: fourth best coach in college football by CBS, So we'll
0:35
Speaker 1: address that. Is that legitimate based on his coaching ability
0:39
Speaker 1: or some kind of media stunt? And we'll go to
0:42
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers where brock Purty just ink the
0:45
Speaker 1: two hundred and sixty five million dollar deal. He says,
0:47
Speaker 1: quote the forty nine or Super Bowl windows one hundred
0:50
Speaker 1: percent still open. Is he right? Have a wonderful Friday,
0:55
Speaker 1: don't forget Fifth Hour podcast, new episodes all weekend. I'll
0:58
Speaker 1: keep your company all weekend with me and Danny g.
1:01
Speaker 1: But here's our number four. Too like or not too like?
1:06
Speaker 1: That's the question. Welcome in the beginning of another hour
1:12
Speaker 1: of the Ben Malor Show. We are in the air
1:16
Speaker 1: aywhere in alliance as we steam roll through coast, the coast, border,
1:25
Speaker 1: the border and beyond on the vast and stupendously powerful
1:31
Speaker 1: microphones of FSR amminating live from the line as we
1:37
Speaker 1: go across the finish line from the Fox Sports Radio studios,
1:41
Speaker 1: and they are made possible this hour, made possible by
1:45
Speaker 1: in part by tire Rak and also made possible by
1:50
Speaker 1: our friends at Express Employment. That's unbelievable. I cannot believe it, Sam,
1:57
Speaker 1: I am.
1:58
Speaker 2: I cannot believe it.
2:00
Speaker 1: As we are hanging out together here on the big
2:03
Speaker 1: old radio program. And I know Pat and Airy Berry
2:07
Speaker 1: from Cansa City pulling another all nighter.
2:13
Speaker 2: They are big fans of show.
2:14
Speaker 1: I'm sure they eat the the Ben mallor chicken fingers
2:15
Speaker 1: there at the landing all the time, big supporters of
2:18
Speaker 1: the show. So our lead this hour is from North Carolina,
2:25
Speaker 1: everyone's favorite septagenarian continuing to fill up the content Kitty.
2:32
Speaker 1: And if you've not heard the latest on this, maybe not.
2:37
Speaker 1: I'm obsessed with the story. I love it so that.
2:39
Speaker 1: There's been some debate since Bill Belichick as North Carolina coach.
2:46
Speaker 1: He hasn't coached a game yet. There's a lot of
2:48
Speaker 1: tabloid coverage, and last I checked, North Carolina is in
2:52
Speaker 1: the Bible Belt, and so people asking questions, is this
2:56
Speaker 1: university of higher learning going to allow this to continue
3:00
Speaker 1: the charade of Bill Belichick and his floozy lady friend
3:04
Speaker 1: running around and all this stuff. So, anyway, the chancellor,
3:08
Speaker 1: which I'm told is kind of a big deal at
3:10
Speaker 1: a college, the chancellor at the University of North Carolina,
3:14
Speaker 1: a gentleman named Lee Roberts. Doesn't that sound like a
3:18
Speaker 1: fake name, Lee Roberts. Anyway, he's the chancellor, we are told,
3:21
Speaker 1: as I understand it, of North Carolina, and he was
3:26
Speaker 1: asked about the situation and all this publicity, and it's
3:29
Speaker 1: not all positive publicity.
3:30
Speaker 2: There's a lot of negative publicity.
3:32
Speaker 1: So the chancellor at North Carolina apparently goes with as
3:37
Speaker 1: long as they spelled the name of the university.
3:40
Speaker 2: Correctly, we're good. We are good.
3:45
Speaker 1: And so there was this question about the focus of
3:48
Speaker 1: the football program and whether or not this is actually
3:51
Speaker 1: a good thing or a bad thing. Now, Roberts recently
3:54
Speaker 1: explained that he has quote delighted about all the attention.
4:00
Speaker 1: Those are his words, that's five words. Delighted about all
4:04
Speaker 1: the attention, the Tar Hills football program is getting since
4:07
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick took over a couple months back. But wait,
4:11
Speaker 1: there's more. The chancellor at North Carolina indicated he has
4:14
Speaker 1: not had any discussions with Bill Belichick about his relationship
4:18
Speaker 1: with Jordaan Hudson and now now things are continuing on
4:24
Speaker 1: the season. Is going to begin training camp for college
4:27
Speaker 1: football be here before you know it, and then talk
4:30
Speaker 1: about how that might impact the football program any of that.
4:34
Speaker 1: He's claiming no conversations took place. Okay, so let us
4:38
Speaker 1: discuss the question. Is North Carolina And we're just gonna
4:43
Speaker 1: approach this from the football part of it first. But
4:47
Speaker 1: North Carolina's chances like as long as they spelled the
4:50
Speaker 1: name right, we're good. But is North Carolina? Some are
4:52
Speaker 1: saying they're taking a risk, they're risking their own identity,
4:56
Speaker 1: the culture of the Tar Hills by leaning so heavily,
5:01
Speaker 1: so heavily on the Bill Belichick hype train drew instead
5:06
Speaker 1: of focusing on building a team from within, right, I mean,
5:11
Speaker 1: you usually you recruit players, you bring in somebody that
5:14
Speaker 1: went to the university as a coach, and you normally
5:17
Speaker 1: so my take on this, I've got Andy Warhol sparkler
5:22
Speaker 1: and curb your enthusiasm, and we will combine all of
5:26
Speaker 1: these things together and we're gonna make We're gonna make
5:29
Speaker 1: Carolina whole hog barbecue with a side of Baba ganoosh
5:33
Speaker 1: and then we'll have a plate of gabba ghoul. All right,
5:36
Speaker 1: we'll have all that. So to lead off, to answer
5:39
Speaker 1: the question, is North Carolina risking the culture? It's all
5:43
Speaker 1: about the culture. Absolutely not. That's dumb da dub dub dub.
5:48
Speaker 1: They have no culture, they have no identity. If they
5:52
Speaker 1: do have a culture, it's loser capital l We're not
5:56
Speaker 1: talking about the Ohio State University dot Theie. We're not
6:00
Speaker 1: talking about Alabama or Notre Dome or sc or Michigan.
6:05
Speaker 1: You don't. You don't hire Bill Belichick if you're good.
6:10
Speaker 1: You hire Bill Belichick if you suck. That's why Belichick was.
6:16
Speaker 1: I'm a believer, not as much as I used to
6:18
Speaker 1: be about Belichick and how good a coach he is.
6:20
Speaker 1: He's lost his way a little bit. But if you're
6:22
Speaker 1: a blue blood, you don't do it. The only blue
6:26
Speaker 1: is the Carolina blue.
6:27
Speaker 2: That's it. In this story.
6:29
Speaker 1: It is a smart move, It is a savvy move
6:32
Speaker 1: in the modern landscape of college football. They've essentially taken
6:36
Speaker 1: the Dion Sanders game plan, although Dion had never never
6:42
Speaker 1: reached the level as a coach that Bill Belichick did.
6:44
Speaker 1: But it's the same game plan. You take a big name,
6:47
Speaker 1: you drop them in an absolute dog food football program
6:51
Speaker 1: and see what they can do and just add water
6:54
Speaker 1: and that's it. And so I think it's smart by
6:56
Speaker 1: the North Carolina chancellor to embrace the spotlight controversy cells
7:01
Speaker 1: public attention and popularity or fleeting anyway. So even if
7:04
Speaker 1: everyone's up in arms and they're like, oh, I can't
7:07
Speaker 1: believe it's so embarrassing, the attention span does not last.
7:12
Speaker 1: It's the Andy Warhol, you know, fifteen minutes of fame.
7:17
Speaker 1: Of course, in twenty twenty five, it's the TikTok cycle
7:21
Speaker 1: of glory, if you will. Bill Belichick is in his
7:25
Speaker 1: early to mid seventy seventy three, I believe, and so
7:29
Speaker 1: be there for a couple of years maybe, and if
7:33
Speaker 1: he's good, If he's good and things calm down with Jordan,
7:38
Speaker 1: it's possible that the NFL comes knocking on his door
7:41
Speaker 1: and says, hey, Bill, how would you like to coach
7:44
Speaker 1: the Cardinals or something like that, and if it doesn't
7:47
Speaker 1: work out, Bill will go somewhere else, be the carpetbagger
7:52
Speaker 1: and leave town, and North Carolina will then immediately turn
7:55
Speaker 1: to dust. They'll be irrelevant and that'll be that. So
7:59
Speaker 1: it's really in the big picture. If you're the chancellor
8:02
Speaker 1: at North Carolina, it's just a flash in the algorithm.
8:06
Speaker 2: Is You're just a trending topic. That's it. Now.
8:08
Speaker 1: Speaking of that, the people over there at CBS CBS Sports,
8:13
Speaker 1: they released what is, I guess, an annual ranking. I've
8:16
Speaker 1: never seen this before. I guess I don't care about it.
8:18
Speaker 1: Now I care about it because I'm into the story
8:20
Speaker 1: with Bill Belichick. So they have released their ranking of
8:23
Speaker 1: the sixty eight Power four coaches in college football. And
8:29
Speaker 1: you know the Powerful which is mostly like Big ten
8:31
Speaker 1: SEC Big ten SEC, but you get the Big twelve
8:34
Speaker 1: in there, you get the ACC So those are the
8:36
Speaker 1: Power four and they ranked all sixty eight coaches in
8:39
Speaker 1: those conferences. And as you might imagine, if you know
8:42
Speaker 1: very little about college football, you likely know enough to
8:46
Speaker 1: know that the usual suspects are at the top. Right now,
8:50
Speaker 1: You've got Kirby Smart at Georgia, who's number one right
8:56
Speaker 1: there at number one.
8:57
Speaker 2: You've got.
8:58
Speaker 1: There we go. Ryan Day is number two, number two,
9:05
Speaker 1: and then Dabo Sweeney at Clemson somehow is still number three.
9:13
Speaker 1: I guess they didn't watch too much Clemson football at
9:14
Speaker 1: the beginning of last year, and so they are leading
9:17
Speaker 1: the pack. However, what about Bill? What about I know
9:20
Speaker 1: you want to you know, have you seen this? No,
9:23
Speaker 1: you haven't seen Oh good, you haven't seen this?
9:24
Speaker 2: All right.
9:24
Speaker 1: So, as part of the ranking, again, these are the
9:28
Speaker 1: top sixty eight coaches and all of the power for conferences,
9:33
Speaker 1: CBS listed Bill Belichick at number fifty four, number fifty four.
9:43
Speaker 3: I don't have a button for that.
9:44
Speaker 1: You're supposed to sing number fifty fur number fifty four.
9:50
Speaker 1: There we go. Look at that live music. All right.
9:52
Speaker 1: So is the coaching rank an actual critique of Bill
9:57
Speaker 1: Belichick and his ability as a coach in the college
10:00
Speaker 1: game or is this just a publicity stunt by the
10:05
Speaker 1: evil demons over.
10:08
Speaker 2: There at CBS.
10:09
Speaker 1: So the scales are leaning towards attention. Grab capital a
10:15
Speaker 1: for attention. Now, this is relatively silly, like we're talking
10:19
Speaker 1: about Bill Belichick.
10:20
Speaker 2: And even if you think Belichick.
10:22
Speaker 1: Has lost his way, and you know he's on the
10:25
Speaker 1: spectrum now with some of the stuff that he's doing.
10:28
Speaker 1: The man at his peak, he's been part of eight
10:31
Speaker 1: Super Bowl championship teams, most of those as a head coach,
10:37
Speaker 1: the architect of the modern dynasty when they said they
10:40
Speaker 1: couldn't do it. And while he certainly had Tom Brady,
10:43
Speaker 1: and Tom Brady was the meat and potatoes of that,
10:46
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick filled out the roster, saved Robert Kraft a
10:49
Speaker 1: lot of money so he could get those nice massages
10:51
Speaker 1: as the orchards of Asier DAYSPA saved them a lot
10:54
Speaker 1: of money. And so you've got that, and you're putting
10:57
Speaker 1: him fifty fourth on the college football coaching list.
11:02
Speaker 2: You're telling me.
11:02
Speaker 1: There's fifty three dudes in Power conference football that are living, breathing,
11:10
Speaker 1: walking around with whistles on the sideline, that are able
11:15
Speaker 1: to out coach, out, scheme out, prepare all that crap.
11:20
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick, come one, you know what that is boso stuff.
11:24
Speaker 1: That's boso bozo. The climbs and this whole thing. I
11:27
Speaker 1: know why you do it, and I admit I'm falling
11:30
Speaker 1: for it because I saw this and I was like, oh,
11:32
Speaker 1: that's kind of dumb. It's a sparkler. That is a sparkler.
11:37
Speaker 1: And I've tried to explain this and we don't do lists,
11:40
Speaker 1: you know, Terry and England. Anytime I even think about
11:43
Speaker 1: doing a list, I don't do it because lists are cheap.
11:47
Speaker 1: It's a little bit of a crutch when you do
11:50
Speaker 1: a list. There's an art to it, though. No I
11:53
Speaker 1: do Big Ben's Big Board, which is not a list.
11:56
Speaker 1: I do Big Ben's Big.
11:57
Speaker 2: Board, definitely not a list.
11:59
Speaker 1: And so I don't believe because when you do a list,
12:02
Speaker 1: you're doing it to spark engagement, and these things go
12:07
Speaker 1: on social media.
12:08
Speaker 2: I remember the late great TJ Simers.
12:09
Speaker 1: I was buddies with TJ and saw him a lot.
12:12
Speaker 1: You know. He passed away last last year and we
12:15
Speaker 1: spent some time together at the end of his life
12:17
Speaker 1: and we were little things that came up somewhere along
12:20
Speaker 1: the way.
12:20
Speaker 2: We're talking about this, and when you do a list, right,
12:23
Speaker 2: you've got to throw some.
12:24
Speaker 1: Outrageous thing in there, just a pinch of controversy, because
12:30
Speaker 1: that gets attention. If you do the obvious, no one cares,
12:34
Speaker 1: no one pays attention, nobody reacts to that.
12:36
Speaker 4: Right.
12:37
Speaker 1: It's it's the car accident that people react, all right, Now,
12:41
Speaker 1: last thing. We now leave Chapel Hill, North Carolina. We
12:46
Speaker 1: say goodbye for now to Spacoli and then he lives there.
12:49
Speaker 1: And now we go across to Alameda Loo Territory in
12:53
Speaker 1: the Bay Area, although he's far away from the where
12:55
Speaker 1: the forty Ninitards plays. So brock perty just InCD a
13:00
Speaker 1: two hundred and sixty five million dollars deal. That's that
13:06
Speaker 1: even or Nesto thinks that's a lot of money. He's
13:08
Speaker 1: a big forty nine fan. That's a lot of cash.
13:10
Speaker 1: So and he says, quote, the forty nine or Super
13:13
Speaker 1: Bowl window is one hundred percent still open. Question is
13:20
Speaker 1: he right?
13:21
Speaker 2: Brock pretty said it.
13:22
Speaker 1: He said, after getting one hundred and eighty one million,
13:24
Speaker 1: possibly up to two hundred sixty five million, he says,
13:27
Speaker 1: the forty nine or Super Bowl window is one hundred
13:30
Speaker 1: percent still open?
13:31
Speaker 2: Is he right?
13:33
Speaker 5: So?
13:33
Speaker 1: I would like to quote my favorite TV show of
13:37
Speaker 1: the last thirty years, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and the great
13:42
Speaker 1: Larry David, the great Larry David, who famously would say, eh,
13:49
Speaker 1: I don't think so it's certainly not one hundred percent,
13:52
Speaker 1: it's not ninety percent, it's not eighty percent. Keep going.
13:58
Speaker 2: And when I say that, I'm not kidding.
14:00
Speaker 1: How about I would say the Niners Super Bowl window
14:02
Speaker 1: at this point is twenty percent. That's a two hundred
14:06
Speaker 1: batting average that it's it's open twenty percent, but eighty
14:11
Speaker 1: percent closes. Big money, big problems. I heard that soone.
14:15
Speaker 1: I think that's been a song, Big money, big problem.
14:17
Speaker 1: The deal changes everything. Brock Party was the budget friendly,
14:21
Speaker 1: feel good Cinderella, you know, mister irrelevant, and now he's
14:28
Speaker 1: the Oligark franchise quarterback. Which, don't get me wrong, I'm
14:33
Speaker 1: happy for rock Perdy. It's great, wonderful mitzvah, for generations
14:36
Speaker 1: of Rock Perty's family. He can buy the biggest bass
14:39
Speaker 1: fishing boat you can possibly imagine. Good for him, right, great, mitzvah.
14:44
Speaker 1: There's just a little problem. And I know deep down
14:48
Speaker 1: that the Niner fans knows you have given mister average,
14:55
Speaker 1: who does not possess elite ability, the big money. You
15:00
Speaker 1: have violated the hippocratic oath of football.
15:04
Speaker 2: You're not supposed to do that. He's not elite.
15:07
Speaker 1: And we're convinced that you know that the windows closing
15:14
Speaker 1: rapidly by the minute here and wide open, he says,
15:19
Speaker 1: wide open with the come on, come on, it's not
15:22
Speaker 1: wide open now. Perty claimed that he took less Now
15:26
Speaker 1: he was caught in a bit of a lie here.
15:28
Speaker 1: He claims he took less money like he's he's helping out.
15:33
Speaker 1: He's he's a real chariot for the for the forty
15:37
Speaker 1: nine or franchise there, he's helping them out, very charitable.
15:40
Speaker 1: He says he took less money to help the forty
15:43
Speaker 1: nine ers build a better team around him in the
15:46
Speaker 1: Bay Area. However, I don't know how true that is,
15:53
Speaker 1: because is it true that there are whispers that brock
15:56
Speaker 1: Party had no leverage, no level bridge. That makes this
16:02
Speaker 1: contract even more bonkers for the forty nine ers. Makes
16:05
Speaker 1: you question what Lynch and Shanahan are doing.
16:11
Speaker 2: What are you doing?
16:12
Speaker 1: Right?
16:12
Speaker 2: We're hearing that how many teams, how many NFL.
16:16
Speaker 1: Teams I'm not going to include the Canadian Football League,
16:19
Speaker 1: but how many teams reached out and called the forty
16:22
Speaker 1: nine ers this offseason and said, hey, what would it take?
16:26
Speaker 1: How many first round picks? How many players would it
16:29
Speaker 1: take to get brock Purty. You gotta pay him. He's
16:32
Speaker 1: not worth the money, we'll pay him. There's probably seven
16:36
Speaker 1: or eight teams. There's a lot of teams that have
16:37
Speaker 1: terrible cordus, so it's probably seven eight. Do you have
16:39
Speaker 1: a guess? Was it eight? Was it seven?
16:43
Speaker 5: No?
16:43
Speaker 1: What do you think? Five? They had to be five,
16:45
Speaker 1: at least five teams. There are many teams that don't
16:49
Speaker 1: have cop so I had to be five, right, Like
16:51
Speaker 1: the New Orleans Saints said, hey, we want we want
16:54
Speaker 1: brock Purty. Can we Cleveland Browns? Can we get Brockert? Well,
16:58
Speaker 1: little birdie named Adam Schefter tells us that the teams
17:04
Speaker 1: that need a quarterback, not a single one of them.
17:09
Speaker 1: Zippo Bupkis contacted the forty nine ers, and the way
17:15
Speaker 1: he said it was that they all said, oh, listen,
17:18
Speaker 1: brock Perty's a great player for them, not that brock
17:22
Speaker 1: perty is a great.
17:23
Speaker 2: Player, just a great player for them.
17:26
Speaker 1: You know what that means? That's right, the plot thickens.
17:29
Speaker 1: That is confirmation. I'm gonna do a victory Lapa. I'm
17:33
Speaker 1: gonna walk around with like a rooster with my chest
17:36
Speaker 1: out and a peak cock with my feathers in the
17:38
Speaker 1: air everywhere, because that is confirmation of what I have
17:42
Speaker 1: been saying. I have been validated. That is hot take validation.
17:47
Speaker 1: You're listening to live coverage of hot Take validation. That
17:52
Speaker 1: report by Schefter prove it. The NFL believes brock Purty
17:58
Speaker 1: system quarterback. There's some quarterback. He is dependent on Shanahan
18:04
Speaker 1: scheming him up. He's not that good. The Niners pay
18:09
Speaker 1: the guy not that good one hundred and eighty one
18:13
Speaker 1: million dollars. That, my friends, is a disaster. Oh my god.
18:19
Speaker 1: And again this is why the Rams and the Cardinals
18:22
Speaker 1: and the and the Seahawks are celebrating good times right,
18:27
Speaker 1: Happy days are here again. Happy days are here again?
18:32

Speaker 1: for the penny. Been a while since post about Benny
21:12
Speaker 1: versus the Penny. Well, that's because it's a football show.
21:15
Speaker 1: And the show the last show that we did was
21:17
Speaker 1: the week after the Super Bowl in February and there
21:22
Speaker 1: was no NFL games until September. It's called the Seasonal
21:25
Speaker 1: Television Show. Yeah, the US govern getting rid of the penny. Well,
21:29
Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk about that in the Fifth Hour podcast.
21:31
Speaker 1: I'll mention that at some point on the pod today.
21:34
Speaker 1: But thank you for being concerned, you and Alf the
21:38
Speaker 1: Alien opinter. But as I have pointed out, the penny
21:42
Speaker 1: is a timeless word. It's in the lexicons, so it'll
21:46
Speaker 1: be many many generations before people stop saying the penny
21:50
Speaker 1: people still mentioned horse and buggy, they mentioned payphones haven't
21:53
Speaker 1: been around a long time, typewriters. Things that are no
21:55
Speaker 1: longer are no longer round for sure. Terry in England
22:00
Speaker 1: rights In says, good job on the brock purty a
22:03
Speaker 1: bottle part of the monologue. Nailed it, thank you, and
22:07
Speaker 1: then he actually, Terry liked that so much he put
22:10
Speaker 1: a gift of pretty dancing, a celebratory dance because.
22:16
Speaker 2: He thought that was such a good monologue. That's how
22:18
Speaker 2: I interpreted that, so.
22:19
Speaker 1: Thank you for that. Shannon de Moyes says, Ozzie Waz
22:22
Speaker 1: is a show legend. Put some respect on his name.
22:27
Speaker 1: Put some respect on his name. And so he says,
22:30
Speaker 1: let's go to the phones. It is a call in show.
22:32
Speaker 1: And who do we have here?
22:34
Speaker 2: Eenie meenie, miney mo.
22:35
Speaker 1: Let's say hello to Mike in New Hampshire. Hello, Mike, welcome,
22:41
Speaker 1: Ben Meller there he is, look at you, hey man.
22:48
Speaker 4: I just wanted to talk about Belichick for a second.
22:51
Speaker 4: He is washed up. He's been washed up since what
22:54
Speaker 4: twenty nineteen, twenty twenty when he met Jordan Hudson. She
23:00
Speaker 4: the reason why he's washed up.
23:04
Speaker 1: Well, he would have been washed up at some point anyway,
23:06
Speaker 1: I see her saying that. Yeah, so she's the female
23:11
Speaker 1: the classic story man brought down by female. Right, she's
23:15
Speaker 1: the man killer.
23:17
Speaker 4: I mean she's old enough. I mean, he's old enough
23:19
Speaker 4: to be her grandfather.
23:22
Speaker 1: Apparently he's he's using whatever medication he needs to to
23:25
Speaker 1: get the job done. I guess, I don't know.
23:28
Speaker 4: Maybe, I mean, I still think he's got a little
23:30
Speaker 4: bit of a fuel in that gas tank of his.
23:33
Speaker 4: But she's standing in his way.
23:36
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, we'll find out. I mean, there's no debating
23:39
Speaker 1: that Patriots rosters sucked. By the time Belichick left. They
23:43
Speaker 1: didn't have much talent there. They still don't have a
23:45
Speaker 1: lot of talent. So he was in charge of picking
23:48
Speaker 1: the players. He didn't pick very many good players. So, yeah,
23:52
Speaker 1: are you saying he's the a Yoko? The classic is
23:55
Speaker 1: Yoko owner? Right, Yoko owner situation? It's I think the
23:58
Speaker 1: term is the Delilah fact where a successful man is
24:02
Speaker 1: brought down seduced by the feminine powers, the superpowers of a.
24:06
Speaker 4: Beautiful woman, the superpowers of the.
24:10
Speaker 1: V well, whatever it takes, right, whatever, All right, thank you,
24:14
Speaker 1: all right, very enticing woman there the Loraina. Do you
24:18
Speaker 1: realize the power you women have, the female fatale? Do
24:21
Speaker 1: you realize that you can overtake the life of some
24:23
Speaker 1: of these people? Yeah? Very cunning and dangerous, the enticement.
24:29
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're very manipulative people.
24:32
Speaker 2: Yeah.
24:32
Speaker 1: And in I know, in spy world like FBI Land
24:36
Speaker 1: and CIA Land, one of the most powerful things is
24:41
Speaker 1: the honey trap.
24:42
Speaker 2: Where that is that is where they get you the
24:44
Speaker 2: honey trap.
24:45
Speaker 1: They use women to get a compromising video of dudes
24:49
Speaker 1: and then they use that as black man.
24:51
Speaker 2: That's one of the that's one of the conspiracies. Who
24:53
Speaker 2: is that that creep guy?
24:54
Speaker 1: Uh?
24:56
Speaker 2: They killed him in jail. What was the guy's name?
24:59
Speaker 1: He had a island? Yeah, yeah, like that. One of
25:03
Speaker 1: the theories is that that he was being used as
25:06
Speaker 1: like to entrap powerful people. Say conspiracy. I don't know
25:12
Speaker 1: it's true. You know who might know the answer to that.
25:14
Speaker 1: Marcel and Brooklyn, And let's go to our nick ambassador.
25:17
Speaker 1: Marcel and Brooklyn.

25:34
Speaker 1: this series.
25:34
Speaker 2: Is that correct?
25:35
Speaker 5: Absolutely not.
25:41
Speaker 1: Now, what is your advice to the to the Knicks.
25:44
Speaker 1: You have a pep talk for the boys. They might
25:46
Speaker 1: be listening right now.
25:47
Speaker 5: I go to say, in my humble opinion, take those
25:51
Speaker 5: Pacers down, those fans in the Poosier state home of
25:55
Speaker 5: Indy five hundred and the cults anyway, and give the
25:58
Speaker 5: team back to the turning point and straight to the
26:02

26:30
Speaker 5: All from the Pacers?
26:32
Speaker 1: My God, say his name? Put put some shine on
26:36
Speaker 1: his name.
26:36
Speaker 2: What's his name?
26:37
Speaker 1: Chalca Cam that's right, that's right, Well you said it

26:49
Speaker 5: five Pacific. Happy Friday everyone, and of course Memorial Day
26:55
Speaker 5: weekend is finally here, the artificial start of summer, which
26:59
Speaker 5: means I'm man, Justin Cooper is back and his entertainment
27:05
Speaker 5: is ridable right now, I promise you that. So here
27:10
Speaker 5: is Justin Cooper and welcome back.
27:13
Speaker 3: Thank you, Marcel. All right, Ben, We're gonna start off
27:18
Speaker 3: in the theaters as always, and there's a couple couple
27:21
Speaker 3: of big movies out this weekend that I'm excited about.
27:24
Speaker 3: The first is the live action Lelo and Stitch movie
27:30
Speaker 3: that's right now. Disney, of course, is just you know,
27:34
Speaker 3: doing every movie in their entire history as a live
27:38
Speaker 3: action remake.
27:39
Speaker 1: Uh.
27:40
Speaker 3: Most of them are pretty terrible. Uh.
27:42
Speaker 1: I want to I wonder what executive at Disney decided
27:44
Speaker 1: this is what we need to do.
27:45
Speaker 2: This is the next two years or three years. This
27:47
Speaker 2: is gonna make all of these movies.
27:49
Speaker 1: Yeah.
27:49
Speaker 3: And see the problem is though, that he's still gonna
27:53
Speaker 3: be seen as a success because you know, for every
27:56
Speaker 3: like three or four of them that fail, one of
28:00
Speaker 3: them just like knocks it out of the park and
28:02
Speaker 3: makes a ton of money. And I guess that's all
28:05
Speaker 3: that matters. And and this might be one of them.
28:08
Speaker 3: It's got pretty good reviews from critics, but so far
28:11
Speaker 3: the audience score is ninety three percent, So everybody's loving
28:15
Speaker 3: this one. Lelon stitches one of those fan favorites, and
28:18
Speaker 3: I've seen the trailers for this. It looks it looks
28:22
Speaker 3: pretty good, you know, as far as live action remakes go.
28:25
Speaker 1: Uh.
28:25
Speaker 3: The other movie that is in theaters this weekend is
28:30
Speaker 3: Mission Impossible, the final Reckoning.
28:34
Speaker 2: Until the next one.
28:35
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's yeah. Look, I mean maybe maybe it is
28:39
Speaker 3: the final Reckoning because like Tom Cruise is what like
28:42
Speaker 3: seventy five now still.
28:45
Speaker 1: Do but he's the lizard person, so he'll live forever.
28:47
Speaker 3: That's true.
28:48
Speaker 2: You're a lizard person, you don't die.
28:49
Speaker 3: That's right. Yeah, sold his soul. Now this one it's
28:55
Speaker 3: I mean, it's getting good reviews from from critics and
28:58
Speaker 3: fans alike, so so I probably will check this one out.
29:02
Speaker 3: It is also available in Imax, which you know, this
29:05
Speaker 3: is one of those movies that I think it's actually
29:07
Speaker 3: worth it in Imax. Lots of cool, big stunts and
29:11
Speaker 3: explosions and planes and stuff.
29:14
Speaker 2: Just make sure the popcorn is buttered.
29:16
Speaker 3: That's right, all right. Moving over to television, Ben, First off,
29:21
Speaker 3: we have a new series. It's a limited series on Netflix.
29:26
Speaker 3: It's called Sirens. It is a darkly comedic series and
29:31
Speaker 3: it stars Kevin Bacon and Julianne Moore. And it follows
29:35
Speaker 3: two sisters over the course of a single holiday weekend
29:37
Speaker 3: at a lavish Island beach estate owned by a wealthy
29:40
Speaker 3: socialite and philanthropist who employs the younger sister as our
29:44
Speaker 3: personal assistant, a relationship that the older sister finds somewhat
29:47
Speaker 3: creepy and hopes to end. And that one's getting pretty
29:50
Speaker 3: good reviews. That it's available on Netflix right now. That
29:53

31:02
Speaker 1: of like porn theaters. And then what do you think
31:04
Speaker 1: guys did in there?
31:05

31:09
Speaker 3: On the side of a freeway like regular That's basically

31:40
Speaker 3: It offers an intimate look at the life of late
31:43
Speaker 3: actor Paul Rubins, best known as peebe Herman.
31:46
Speaker 1: Uh.
31:46
Speaker 3: It is bolstered by archival footage, but the documentary chiefly
31:50
Speaker 3: consists of a rare, out of character interview between the
31:53
Speaker 3: director and the star that is edited down from over
31:56
Speaker 3: forty hours of candid conversations between the two and critic
32:00
Speaker 3: were impressed by the insightful documentary when it debuted at
32:03
Speaker 3: sun Dance earlier this year.
32:05
Speaker 1: Okay, cool, that sounds like something I'd be into.
32:07
Speaker 3: Yeah. And last, but not least, there is a new
32:10
Speaker 3: comedy series launching on FX also on Hulu as well.
32:15
Speaker 3: It starts on Wednesday and nine pm on FX or
32:18
Speaker 3: for streaming on Hulu. It is called Adults and it
32:21
Speaker 3: is basically a gen Z spin on Friends. So it's
32:25
Speaker 3: a group of twenty somethings living in New York but
32:29
Speaker 3: lacking the skills required for life in the adult world.
32:33
Speaker 3: FX comedies are usually pretty pretty good, so I'll check
32:36
Speaker 3: it out. I'll report back to it.
32:38
Speaker 2: Sounds like a horror movie, not a comedy.
32:39
Speaker 3: But that's fine, you know, all right, I'll do And
32:42
Speaker 3: that is Scoop Scoop on entertainment.
32:43
Speaker 1: All right, there it is. I thank you for that. Cool.
32:46
Speaker 2: We're gonna have Sports Jeopardy coming up. We got a game.
32:49
Speaker 1: Usually on the nights, I don't have to do monologues.
32:52
Speaker 1: I kind of like zone out. I only watch stuff
32:54
Speaker 1: I really want to watch. But I actually want to
32:56
Speaker 1: watch this Knicks Pacers game. Does that make me a
32:59
Speaker 1: bad person. I'm not a fan. I'm not a Pacer fan.
33:02
Speaker 1: I just I want to watch to see what happens.
33:04
Speaker 1: I want to I'm there for the drama.
33:05
Speaker 3: How you're enjoying sports.
33:07
Speaker 1: I know it's shocking and I'm not even gonna bet
33:09
Speaker 1: on it. I'm just gonna watch. But that said, if
33:13
Speaker 1: you do bet on it, I might You know this
33:15
Speaker 1: this pick six thing Coop over at DraftKings. It's like
33:19
Speaker 1: I'm looking at that and there's a couple of things
33:21
Speaker 1: that I circled on the pick sick. Now, pick six
33:24
Speaker 1: is so simple, you just do the more or less
33:27
Speaker 1: on points and you know rebounds and you can do
33:30
Speaker 1: For example, one I saw I was futching around on
33:33
Speaker 1: their app, the Pick six app, and they have three
33:38
Speaker 1: pointers made, right, and you're you're looking around, You're like,
33:43
Speaker 1: there's there are so many offensive possessions. Neither one of
33:48
Speaker 1: these teams plays much defense. They just don't, right, they
33:50
Speaker 1: don't play much defense. That's just the way it is.
33:53
Speaker 1: And I know I'm being a prison of the moment,
33:55
Speaker 1: but that this guy, Aaron Nesmith, he went absolutely crazy
34:00
Speaker 1: with all those three point shots the other day. Now,
34:03
Speaker 1: I don't believe he'll be that good, but the the
34:05
Speaker 1: more or less is a two and a half. You
34:08
Speaker 1: can only go more on that. But you gotta believe
34:11
Speaker 1: Natesmith is gonna hit at least three three point shots
34:14
Speaker 1: in this game.
34:14
Speaker 2: So that's on. That's on DraftKings Pick six.
34:17
Speaker 1: And as far as like the points, like, again, no defense,
34:21
Speaker 1: there is no defense in this game. So I a
34:26
Speaker 1: Smith at least three three pointers. I think that. As
34:30
Speaker 1: far as like the point thing, I usually go under
34:33
Speaker 1: on these, but on this one, I'm like, You're gonna
34:35
Speaker 1: go over because, like you look at the the way
34:39
Speaker 1: these teams play, you know, all of a sudden going
34:41
Speaker 1: to become a good defensive team. That is not going
34:45
Speaker 1: to happen. But for example, Pascal siakam Marcel's favorite player
34:50
Speaker 1: over eighteen and a half. I would go over that
34:52
Speaker 1: over more or less. I would go over on Karl
34:57
Speaker 1: Anthony Towns. That's a big one though, twenty t three
35:00
Speaker 1: and a half. So those are some of some of
35:01
Speaker 1: the ones that I like. In the game. Tonight, we're
35:04
Speaker 1: gonna have Sports Jeopardy, and that's a pick six over
35:07
Speaker 1: their draftings. So I've got Sports Jeopardy. There were some
35:10
Speaker 1: funny lines justin in Cincinnati, said Robbie the Mariner fan
35:14
Speaker 1: fell for the honey trap. However, unfortunately for Robbie it
35:17
Speaker 1: was actual honey, not a woman. Uh And ferg Dog says,
35:20
Speaker 1: if is Jordan Hudson hot enough to make up for
35:23
Speaker 1: all the drama she's causing? Bill Belichick, bird Dog says, yes, eh,
35:29
Speaker 1: I don't know about that. I don't know about that.
