Transcript
- 0:09Speaker 1: Welcome to the Favorites, the Super Contest addition of the podcast.
- 0:15Speaker 1: I am Chef Melman from the Action Network, joined by
- 0:20Speaker 1: my beautiful brother Black Jeff Plesher. How are you doing, baby?
- 0:26Speaker 1: We are rolland brother, we are so rolling because last
- 0:31Speaker 1: week we killed him the contest. More importantly, we had
- 0:37Speaker 1: our first fan live action experience this week and our
- 0:43Speaker 1: first date. It was also our first date. It got
- 0:47Speaker 1: off to a rocky start as people might remember. As
- 0:50Speaker 1: as people might remember last week, black Jack and High.
- 0:54Speaker 1: All season long in the podcast, we've been talking about
- 0:56Speaker 1: the movie of Stars Born and that we were going
- 0:58Speaker 1: to go see it together, and that we put together
- 1:01Speaker 1: some props on how often I would cry at the movie.
- 1:03Speaker 1: Black Jack had seen it, so we were putting together props.
- 1:06Speaker 1: Will Fetters, who wrote the movie with Bradley Cooper, is
- 1:09Speaker 1: a listener to the podcast. He sent in his own
- 1:12Speaker 1: props on how many times we would cry, what scenes
- 1:15Speaker 1: we would cry at, the songs we would cry at, etcetera.
- 1:18Speaker 1: We had him on last week and then we ran
- 1:20Speaker 1: a contest. We opened it up to fans. The first
- 1:23Speaker 1: fan to call in leave a message on our hotline
- 1:28Speaker 1: was going to be given the opportunity to pay for
- 1:30Speaker 1: their own way to get to New York and go
- 1:33Speaker 1: see the movie with us. Uh on Tuesday night. This
- 1:36Speaker 1: past Tuesday Night, the winner was Jeff Brauner from Mendum,
- 1:41Speaker 1: New Jersey. Lovely, Lovely guy. He was a very nice guy.
- 1:46Speaker 1: I was skeptical of him at first when I heard
- 1:48Speaker 1: the voicemail because he mentioned he was a big fan
- 1:50Speaker 1: of the show I wanted to go see the movie,
- 1:53Speaker 1: and the last thing he said was and also, I
- 1:56Speaker 1: think Chad's really funny. And now that to me scared
- 1:59Speaker 1: the hell out of at is exactly why he got
- 2:03Speaker 1: to come. And so we meet at the theater and um,
- 2:07Speaker 1: we were going to see a six six fifty movie
- 2:10Speaker 1: here in Manhattan. Listen, I lived in Connecticut for seven years.
- 2:14Speaker 1: It's been a long time since I had to buy
- 2:17Speaker 1: tickets in advance for a movie. You're used to private
- 2:20Speaker 1: screenings in the mansion exactly, or you know, all access
- 2:24Speaker 1: floor seats. And uh. I get to the theater and
- 2:29Speaker 1: we meet. We meet Jeff, and he's great and we're
- 2:31Speaker 1: talking and he laughs at everything I say, and you know,
- 2:33Speaker 1: we're joking around, and I think he's the best guy ever.
- 2:36Speaker 1: And then I think all right, I'm just gonna go
- 2:38Speaker 1: and get the said black check. I'm gonna go get
- 2:40Speaker 1: the tickets. You talk to Jeff and I get to
- 2:42Speaker 1: the counter and the movie sold out. Yep. We invited
- 2:47Speaker 1: a guest who got on a train from New Jersey
- 2:50Speaker 1: and came to Manhattan to watch The Stars Born with
- 2:53Speaker 1: the two of us, and Chad didn't get tickets in advance.
- 2:56Speaker 1: I panicked a little bit in that moment. I'm not
- 2:58Speaker 1: gonna lie to you. Uh. I started to sweat. I
- 3:01Speaker 1: felt really bad because it was a crappy night out.
- 3:04Speaker 1: It was like it was raining hard and it's not
- 3:06Speaker 1: you know, that's a long train ride from Mendam, New Jersey.
- 3:08Speaker 1: I know where it is, having lived in Montclair, New
- 3:11Speaker 1: Jersey for a long time, And um, I panicked a
- 3:15Speaker 1: little bit. So then I immediately went to my phone
- 3:17Speaker 1: and I was looking around. The next movie at that
- 3:19Speaker 1: theater wasn't playing until after eight, and it's a two
- 3:22Speaker 1: and a half hour movie past my bedtime. But also
- 3:25Speaker 1: I'm thinking about Jeff, like he's not getting out of
- 3:27Speaker 1: there until like eleven, and then he's got to take
- 3:29Speaker 1: the train back. Luckily, I found it playing at a
- 3:33Speaker 1: theater minutes later. That was like fifteen blocks away, so
- 3:36Speaker 1: we were able to go see it the tally. The tally,
- 3:41Speaker 1: uh Will Fetters had me the over under on me
- 3:44Speaker 1: crying it too. I cried it three times. You cried
- 3:46Speaker 1: four times. Second seeing uh Will Fetters said that, um,
- 3:52Speaker 1: we would cry he uh he set a line on
- 3:55Speaker 1: when we cry a shallow desperately like, oh my god.
- 4:01Speaker 1: I could not when like when she emots, I couldn't
- 4:12Speaker 1: even like because it's not just the way she's singing it,
- 4:15Speaker 1: but like she is so surprised that she is Ali
- 4:20Speaker 1: on that stage singing that song. Um, the performance of
- 4:23Speaker 1: Charlie the Dog, Will thought we'd cry at that. Didn't
- 4:27Speaker 1: that one got me? I didn't expect it to either.
- 4:31Speaker 1: But there's a scene towards the end of the movie
- 4:33Speaker 1: where Bradley Cooper gives the dog a steak, and man,
- 4:37Speaker 1: that one just hit me like a ton of bricks. Didn't.
- 4:39Speaker 1: I didn't expect that, But it did did nothing for me?
- 4:42Speaker 1: Didn't that cry almost There's another scene in the movie
- 4:45Speaker 1: where Charlie lays down on the ground that almost got me.
- 4:50Speaker 1: That I was like, the last ten minutes for me
- 4:53Speaker 1: was just one long crop you were sniffling, like Jeff
- 4:58Speaker 1: kept saying to me, like, is he okay? Because like
- 5:00Speaker 1: you were you were? I was between the two. But Jeff,
- 5:03Speaker 1: I know you're listening. You're dead inside. I mean, this
- 5:06Speaker 1: guy watched this movie twice and didn't shed a tear
- 5:10Speaker 1: and looked at us crying and was basically laughing at
- 5:12Speaker 1: He just came every every five minutes. He's like, how
- 5:14Speaker 1: many times? How many times you cried? Sam Elliott? Would
- 5:16Speaker 1: we cry at his performance? I did not? You did?
- 5:19Speaker 1: Um Lady Gaga obviously when we cried at her performance
- 5:22Speaker 1: because of shallow and also just because she's astonishing in
- 5:25Speaker 1: the movie. All in all, I feel like, for the
- 5:27Speaker 1: first time we're sort of engaging with our audience. That
- 5:30Speaker 1: went pretty well. Yeah, it definitely went well. Jeff's a
- 5:33Speaker 1: nice guy. Thanks for coming and hanging out with us. Um.
- 5:37Speaker 1: Sorry for the snaff foo at the first theater. I
- 5:39Speaker 1: think it worked out okay. We got to get close
- 5:41Speaker 1: in the cab. Job was very generous. He paid for
- 5:43Speaker 1: Jeff's ticket and some pretzel bites and the cab and
- 5:48Speaker 1: the cab there. I got his cab to pen classy.
- 5:51Speaker 1: We're classy at the favorites. Listen if this is your
- 5:53Speaker 1: first time listening to the podcast. Every Friday morning, Blackjack

- 6:07Speaker 1: Super Contest to win one point four million dollars. One
- 6:11Speaker 1: point four million dollars, which means every one of these
- 6:14Speaker 1: picks is worth a lot of money. And we are
- 6:20Speaker 1: freaking flying four and one last week. Yeah, it was
- 6:24Speaker 1: a really good way. Why are you laughing? We're flying, baby,

- 6:53Speaker 1: neglected to mention that, as per usual in the podcast,
- 6:59Speaker 1: we're in. You know, that's when we started to turn
- 7:03Speaker 1: it around. Now you started bringing in the figs and
- 7:05Speaker 1: the dates, and the liquor coffee flavor, tequila and the amaretto.
- 7:12Speaker 1: Today we're an amaretto face, Jack, Is that is that
- 7:16Speaker 1: a Canadian tuxedo you're wearing? Sure? Is? Baby is working
- 7:20Speaker 1: for you? Thank you? My girl knows style. Georgina never
- 7:25Speaker 1: says anything nice about me. No, we have a different relationship.
- 7:28Speaker 1: Don't worry about it. I guess what else we gotta
- 7:34Speaker 1: do today, pick some winners. Well before that, we have
- 7:37Speaker 1: another gimmick in our podcast, another gimmick that we that
- 7:41Speaker 1: we're trying to get people to review the podcast so
- 7:43Speaker 1: we can fly up the iTunes rankings. Um, that's the
- 7:46Speaker 1: only way to do. Listen. We know there's millions of
- 7:49Speaker 1: you listening to this, yet there's not millions of reviews
- 7:52Speaker 1: on iTunes, So what the hell are you doing? Get
- 7:53Speaker 1: out there and review the thing. Leave five stars and
- 7:56Speaker 1: have Georgina read your review. You feel like you feel
- 7:58Speaker 1: like a million bucks when you hear that angel with
- 8:00Speaker 1: that British accent read your words. Leave the reviews, game
- 8:04Speaker 1: the system. So the point is we've asked you to
- 8:06Speaker 1: review the show on the Apple podcast. Georgina is going
- 8:09Speaker 1: to read our favorite reviews, and we have one today.
- 8:12Speaker 1: Let's hear it. Subject love the pod, Love the Friday Podcast.
- 8:17Speaker 1: I would love it if there was a meet up
- 8:19Speaker 1: so I could get my book The Odds, which is
- 8:21Speaker 1: already signed by Bob Scucci, signed by black Jack Lecture. Also,
- 8:26Speaker 1: if Paul Laduca, Jeff Schwartz, and most importantly Georgina are there,
- 8:32Speaker 1: they can sign it as well. Five stars. That's a
- 8:36Speaker 1: great review. I feel like someone's missing from that conversation.
- 8:42Speaker 1: That's true, Scucci. He's on the Favorite podcast on Wednesday's,
- 8:48Speaker 1: Blackjack on Friday's, Jeff Schwartz, Paulo Duke on Monday's, Georgina
- 8:53Speaker 1: on Mondays, I'm being trolled here. I don't think you're
- 8:56Speaker 1: being trolled. I just think maybe it's time for you
- 8:59Speaker 1: to be a little in respective and think the person
- 9:02Speaker 1: who's on this podcast the most was the one who
- 9:05Speaker 1: wasn't mentioned. Maybe it's overexposure. Yeah, that's what I thought.
- 9:12Speaker 1: I wrote the book, Yet she wants me to sign it.
- 9:17Speaker 1: All right, Georgina, you gotta you're gonna keep reading these uh,
- 9:22Speaker 1: these reviews people are gonna keep sending him in. You're
- 9:24Speaker 1: gonna keep reading them. The more you talk about me,
- 9:26Speaker 1: the better I believe. No, we don't. We don't read
- 9:30Speaker 1: those reviews. If you want to say, Chad looks like
- 9:33Speaker 1: a nerd or maybe complimented sweater vest. We'll read those
- 9:38Speaker 1: nothing else to full sweater two sleeves. Our records so
- 9:42Speaker 1: far this year and three. We were four and one
- 9:45Speaker 1: last week. Georgina, can you please start reading the games?
- 9:51Speaker 1: Washington at Tampa Bay. Buck me as this game open
- 9:57Speaker 1: to pick my do you split fift this game? I
- 10:02Speaker 1: happen to know the professional betters have taken the Tampa
- 10:05Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers. But that is why the line has moved
- 10:08Speaker 1: from pick to minus three. They've taken the Buccaneers because
- 10:12Speaker 1: the Redskins are in dire straits offensive line is just
- 10:16Speaker 1: a lot of injuries all over that team. We gotta
- 10:21Speaker 1: go Bucks here. The Redskins are a mess right now,
- 10:24Speaker 1: not getting not getting a very good number the injuries.
- 10:26Speaker 1: Now you know what I hear you, But the lines
- 10:28Speaker 1: moving the right way. I mean, the money's that's where
- 10:30Speaker 1: all the money is, tickets around the Bucks. Of the
- 10:34Speaker 1: money is on the Bucks. That's the biggest discrepancy this
- 10:36Speaker 1: week on the massive. It's a huge discrepancy. All the
- 10:40Speaker 1: money is on Tampa Tampa. I mean, look, listen, I
- 10:43Speaker 1: like the Redskins. We liked them last week. They were
- 10:45Speaker 1: the one loss we had, But there's no there's no
- 10:48Speaker 1: way you can back that team with that offensive line
- 10:50Speaker 1: in the shape it's in there. This three starters, Alex
- 10:54Speaker 1: Smith isn't the most mobile guy. The running game is
- 10:56Speaker 1: going to be affected Tampa. Tampa can score points. I
- 10:59Speaker 1: mean that offense can can put some points on the board.
- 11:01Speaker 1: Let's say it's a maybe. Yeah. I don't love the
- 11:04Speaker 1: number enough that i'd be comfortable. I want you to
- 11:08Speaker 1: be comfortable. I know you do. That's why you bring me.
- 11:10Speaker 1: Amaretto Georgie Detroit at Chicago Bears by six and a half.
- 11:26Speaker 1: I don't know, brother, I lean to Chicago here, but
- 11:32Speaker 1: I have very little conviction behind that because I don't
- 11:34Speaker 1: fully trust the Bears yet. I don't think the Bears
- 11:37Speaker 1: trust the Bears yet, um because they don't really let
- 11:41Speaker 1: Mitchell Drabinsky throw the ball a hell of a lot.
- 11:43Speaker 1: So I don't know how much I trust them. And
- 11:45Speaker 1: also the Lions. The Lions might be the hardest team
- 11:48Speaker 1: to get a read on this year. One week they
- 11:50Speaker 1: come out and they look like they're you know, they
- 11:52Speaker 1: figured it out offensively, the defense is playing better than
- 11:55Speaker 1: they trade Golden Tate. They lay a couple of eggs
- 11:57Speaker 1: two weeks in a row. I don't know. Is this
- 11:59Speaker 1: a bounce back spot for Detroit or are they just done?
- 12:03Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't like this game. I don't
- 12:04Speaker 1: like it. Too many variables, way too many variables, all
- 12:07Speaker 1: of which you just said, like, are the Bears gonna
- 12:09Speaker 1: tea off? Do they learn something from watching the Vikings
- 12:12Speaker 1: sacking Matthew Stafford ten times? They've got an excellent pass rush?
- 12:16Speaker 1: Is Khalil mac going to be back? Um? What kind
- 12:19Speaker 1: of running game is Detroit going to have? I feel
- 12:23Speaker 1: like the line is inflated because of what the Bears
- 12:25Speaker 1: did the Bills, because of how badly the Vikings beat
- 12:27Speaker 1: this the Lions. I'm walking away from this game. Good call,
- 12:32Speaker 1: but I can't wait to talk about this next game.
- 12:35Speaker 1: Georgia Girl, Jacksonville and Indianathlas colts by three over the
- 12:41Speaker 1: Jags come what may they make me say? Jaguars every week?
- 12:45Speaker 1: That's true, it's her best word. I have a love
- 12:50Speaker 1: affair with this game, all right? Which side Jacksonville jague
- 12:57Speaker 1: as I'm really yeah, I'm with you, that's it. Yeah,
- 13:01Speaker 1: I like Jacksonville on the spot. I love jackson Think
- 13:05Speaker 1: about this two weeks ago, this, this line would have
- 13:07Speaker 1: been flipped. This would have been Jacksonville. Yes, such an overreaction.
- 13:11Speaker 1: It's overreaction Sunday. Look, the Jags defense is still amazing.
- 13:17Speaker 1: Their past defense tops in the league in everything. They've
- 13:20Speaker 1: had a little bit of time to get Carlos Hide
- 13:22Speaker 1: worked in, they had a bye week. Blake Portles gets
- 13:24Speaker 1: a little bit smarter. They're not playing They're not playing
- 13:27Speaker 1: a very good defense. Blake ports is not getting smarter.
- 13:30Speaker 1: Forget that for a second. Then how about this. Leonard
- 13:33Speaker 1: Fournett is healthy. You give Leonard Fournette the ball thirty
- 13:38Speaker 1: five times in this game and don't even think about
- 13:40Speaker 1: it when you give it to Carlos Hide. Another twelve done.
- 13:44Speaker 1: That's it. I'm with you. We got one that seemed
- 13:48Speaker 1: a little too easy. Georgie Atlanta at Cleveland Falcons by four.
- 13:57Speaker 1: Don't do it. I gotta do it. Don't do it.
- 14:00Speaker 1: I want to do it so bad. I got to
- 14:02Speaker 1: do this. You don't want don't because I know you
- 14:05Speaker 1: don't really want it. You don't want to Black black
- 14:10Speaker 1: Jack knows that Chad doesn't want this. Chad wants to
- 14:16Speaker 1: bet this game so badly. You know why do you
- 14:21Speaker 1: know why, because dog, it's a home doog. Not only that,
- 14:27Speaker 1: the Falcons are so overvalued right now. They just went
- 14:32Speaker 1: into Washington, they cleaned their clocks. They won that game
- 14:36Speaker 1: by so many points. Julio Jones got in the end zone.
- 14:40Speaker 1: It looks like the Falcons are figuring it out. They're
- 14:42Speaker 1: gonna go to Cleveland. They're gonna play a defense that
- 14:45Speaker 1: is second of the league against tight ends, that is
- 14:48Speaker 1: fourth in the league in yards per play defending the past.
- 14:52Speaker 1: They can shut this team down. They are soft. This
- 14:57Speaker 1: is not the Kansas City Chiefs. It is the Anna Falcon.
- 15:01Speaker 1: You've left out of critical detail about that defense. The
- 15:05Speaker 1: name on the uniform is the Cleveland Browns. It's the
- 15:09Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns with Greg Williams as their head coach. Right now, okay,
- 15:14Speaker 1: you want to back the Cleveland Browns. I am a
- 15:17Speaker 1: fan of radical change. Radical We're down real well last
- 15:21Speaker 1: week for him because you wanted the Browns last week
- 15:24Speaker 1: desperately And how did that turn out? No, it wasn't great,
- 15:28Speaker 1: and yet you want to go and do it again.
- 15:31Speaker 1: That's that's the definition of insanity is doing the same
- 15:34Speaker 1: thing over and over expecting a different result. I want
- 15:37Speaker 1: to do it so badly I cannot. No, we're not
- 15:39Speaker 1: doing it. Pass No, I'm gonna I'm gonna put it
- 15:43Speaker 1: down as him. Maybe you can put down whatever you want.
- 15:45Speaker 1: We're gonna need a game. We're gonna need five games.
- 15:48Speaker 1: It isn't gonna be that one. You don't know that yet. No,
- 15:52Speaker 1: I don't Georgie, New England and Tennessee Patriots by six
- 15:59Speaker 1: and a ha h, lay it are you fucking are
- 16:06Speaker 1: you kidding me? Don't tell you want Tennessee here. I
- 16:12Speaker 1: know you don't. I don't want Tennessee. But I will
- 16:14Speaker 1: tell you. I did a ton of research on this
- 16:16Speaker 1: game because I wanted to have all the reasons why
- 16:19Speaker 1: I don't want to bet Tennessee, and I couldn't find him.
- 16:26Speaker 1: You couldn't find a reason to bet New England in
- 16:29Speaker 1: this game. I couldn't find a reason to want to
- 16:33Speaker 1: not bet Tennessee. This defense, man, this defense is slick.
- 16:41Speaker 1: And then what is double negative about this defense is slick?
- 16:45Speaker 1: The line before, you couldn't not find a reason, couldn't
- 16:49Speaker 1: not double the amoretto. Because I'm now onto the next line.
- 16:52Speaker 1: What I'm saying this defense is slick, and they keep
- 16:56Speaker 1: teams to low points. I'm not listening. Oh wait, did
- 16:59Speaker 1: they Ravens to low points when came in and put
- 17:04Speaker 1: bring up one example, Bring up one example when they
- 17:06Speaker 1: had a bad game, the raven against the Ravens, who
- 17:09Speaker 1: are great, the Patriots. When have they not gotten blown out?
- 17:13Speaker 1: Here's my point, here's my point. We're not gonna bet it.
- 17:18Speaker 1: We're not going to bet it. You have. Let me
- 17:21Speaker 1: take New England. What once in this contest and you
- 17:24Speaker 1: know what happened there? We needed a pick six at
- 17:27Speaker 1: the end of the game. We needed to see they
- 17:31Speaker 1: cover that game. It was it was texting you in
- 17:37Speaker 1: the fourth quarter and it's twelve six and we've got
- 17:40Speaker 1: to what happened? We got lucky? Did they cover? Yeah? Okay,
- 17:46Speaker 1: thank you. That's all I need to know. They covered.
- 17:49Speaker 1: I don't care how they did it. They covered. This
- 17:53Speaker 1: isn't enough. We gotta go to listen. We have a
- 18:01Speaker 1: go pro. Yeah. Pointed directly at what we're calling your substance.
- 18:08Speaker 1: This is our substance camp? Is that your your vape?
- 18:12Speaker 1: What is it today? Mango? Today's mango? How many of
- 18:15Speaker 1: those cartridges you got left? I've got a lot, Thank god.
- 18:18Speaker 1: It's like when Lane had to, you know, load up
- 18:21Speaker 1: on the sponge because they were getting rid of the
- 18:23Speaker 1: sponge and Seinfeld. It's just like that the mango getting
- 18:28Speaker 1: rid of the Mango cartridges. It's just like that sign
- 18:31Speaker 1: Your amaretto and the Amaretto and mango is a lovely combination. Listen,
- 18:36Speaker 1: this is how you need me. All right? If I
- 18:39Speaker 1: come in here just you know, rolling out of bed,
- 18:43Speaker 1: walking into the studio, that's not effective black Jack, all right.
- 18:48Speaker 1: Effective Blackjack is mildly inebriated. That's when black Jack is
- 18:52Speaker 1: at his best. So I'm giving the audience the benefit
- 18:57Speaker 1: of getting a look at how that happens. Is the
- 19:03Speaker 1: third person something that comes along with the mildly inebriated
- 19:07Speaker 1: How are we working this? It comes along whenever black
- 19:09Speaker 1: Jack feels it. What's your strategy here, Georgie Girl Arizona
- 19:15Speaker 1: at Kansas City Chiefs by Bloody Hell sixteen and a half. Well,
- 19:23Speaker 1: lay those points, kid, I'm doing everything in my power.
- 19:32Speaker 1: You gonna take it. We're in agreement. Yeah, you got
- 19:34Speaker 1: to take points. Why do you feel that way? You
- 19:36Speaker 1: never feel that way. I'm higher on the cardinals and
- 19:39Speaker 1: most people. You know that I've taken the Cardinals on
- 19:41Speaker 1: the money line a few times this year. I'm higher
- 19:44Speaker 1: on Arizona than most people. I like Josh Rose and
- 19:46Speaker 1: I think he'll put some points on the board. And
- 19:49Speaker 1: Arizona's defense is playing better than people give it credit for.
- 19:52Speaker 1: I think Arizona can keep this within seventeen as usual, Blackjack.
- 19:58Speaker 1: We are about midway through the podcast, and when I
- 20:00Speaker 1: look back on the teams we have agreed on so far,
- 20:03Speaker 1: they are generally the worst teams in footballs how it goes,
- 20:07Speaker 1: because right now we have the jackson Ville Jaguars plus
- 20:09Speaker 1: three against the Indianapolis Colts and the Arizona Cardinals plus
- 20:15Speaker 1: sixteen and a half against the Kansas City chief You
- 20:18Speaker 1: can't not take sixteen and a half in the NFL.
- 20:20Speaker 1: You got to unless the team is Buffalo with Nathan Peterman.
- 20:23Speaker 1: Then I would not. Last time I spread was this
- 20:25Speaker 1: big this season was the Bills traveling in Minnesota and
- 20:27Speaker 1: they shut them up. That was Josh Allen. Though he's
- 20:30Speaker 1: you know, he's a miracle worker. He's better than Nathan
- 20:32Speaker 1: Peterman by leaps and bounds. You don't have to convince me.
- 20:36Speaker 1: I'm the one who nicknamed him Nathan Pick sixman. I
- 20:39Speaker 1: do have to convince you because last week you sat
- 20:41Speaker 1: on this very show and said, the sharp side is
- 20:44Speaker 1: the bills. Well it was. Did that turn out? Well,
- 20:47Speaker 1: just because it doesn't turn out doesn't mean that's not
- 20:49Speaker 1: the side the pros were on. I don't care what
- 20:52Speaker 1: the pros are on. I care what cash is. That's
- 20:54Speaker 1: what matters to Blackjack. Money money. I am here to
- 21:01Speaker 1: lend you the insight that I have from the world
- 21:04Speaker 1: of Vegas, and I'm telling you that's where they were.
- 21:06Speaker 1: Black Jack doesn't want your insight. Black Jack wants straight cash. Homie.
- 21:11Speaker 1: I believe in the Queen's English, we call that renumeration
- 21:17Speaker 1: well done. Well done. Speaking of Queens English, take us away,
- 21:26Speaker 1: Georgie Buffalo at New York Jets. Jets by six and
- 21:31Speaker 1: a half. This is a fantastic game. I want no
- 21:34Speaker 1: part of this. Let's walk away Georgina, New Orleans and
- 21:41Speaker 1: Cincinnati Saints by five and a half. I know what
- 21:46Speaker 1: you want here, Gore, we go, do it here we go. No,
- 21:52Speaker 1: No show me Red Rifle, j give me Andy Don't
- 22:03Speaker 1: plus five and a half in a spot off by
- 22:10Speaker 1: against an overvalued Saints team getting all the love. Show
- 22:19Speaker 1: me the this is awful Bengals. The answer is the answer.
- 22:28Speaker 1: This is the purpose is what's happened. This is the
- 22:31Speaker 1: Bengals at home, catching points against what may be the
- 22:34Speaker 1: best team in the NFL. Listen in the NFL got
- 22:37Speaker 1: the Saints before the season began. Yeah, I did too.
- 22:39Speaker 1: I don't want to hear you also have seven other futures.
- 22:42Speaker 1: I'm tired of telling you how I feel about you
- 22:46Speaker 1: betting the Bengals at home, So I've taken the step
- 22:49Speaker 1: to try to show you how I feel. Where go?
- 23:07Speaker 1: Where can chat Milman be? Don't took care away from me.
- 23:14Speaker 1: He's gonna since even though they're nonca but me in
- 23:19Speaker 1: Schwartz and states he needs to see y'all boy. When
- 23:27Speaker 1: I looked up the Bengals word down, there was no
- 23:33Speaker 1: lefty round. There was rained phaoning in my mind. Somehow
- 23:40Speaker 1: I found Chad Milbyn had now throughout his bed. He
- 23:46Speaker 1: looked at me and said, stopped me Blackjack doing that again.
- 23:52Speaker 1: I held him close. I showed him my Pats beat.
- 23:57Speaker 1: He saw the wind. He knew he means his money's
- 24:02Speaker 1: all gone. Even though he bets all that you lost
- 24:06Speaker 1: his love home. Don that love? That's my debut music
- 24:35Speaker 1: video video. People have to go on to Twitter and
- 24:40Speaker 1: m follow the favorite podcast so they can see that
- 24:42Speaker 1: video at the favorite pot, at the favorite spot. It's brilliant.
- 24:47Speaker 1: There's a couple of things I want to point out. Um,
- 24:51Speaker 1: Chad almost has tears in his eyes right now. When
- 24:56Speaker 1: when you take off your glasses and wipe your eyes,
- 25:01Speaker 1: I felt like I was watching Lady Gaga when you
- 25:07Speaker 1: I think it can only be described as howling. When
- 25:11Speaker 1: you howled looked up almost at the moon. That was
- 25:16Speaker 1: really it's artistic. Yeah, I mean that was That was
- 25:20Speaker 1: a gut punch right there. So we're gonna go with
- 25:23Speaker 1: the Bengals. No, we're not, absolutely not. Last week last week,
- 25:28Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna say the Saints are undervalued here.
- 25:32Speaker 1: I'll tell you what not only if they they've covered
- 25:35Speaker 1: their last six in a row. Listen, I bet the
- 25:39Speaker 1: Saints to win the Super Bowl their machine before the
- 25:42Speaker 1: season began, the Bengal stink. I'm going to give this
- 25:47Speaker 1: to you because you know what happened last week, what
- 25:49Speaker 1: happened last week, what happened last week? I gave you something,
- 25:53Speaker 1: you gave me the Saints, and it was right so
- 25:56Speaker 1: I'm gonna give I'm not We're not gonna bet this game.
- 25:59Speaker 1: We are no what no, no black Jacks confused black Jack.
- 26:06Speaker 1: Black Jack needs to know that we're just going from
- 26:09Speaker 1: a betting the Bengals to a not betting this game.
- 26:12Speaker 1: So you're not giving black Shack anything. I'm giving you
- 26:15Speaker 1: the fact I'm not betting the Bengals. We have to agree. Well,
- 26:18Speaker 1: we'll find something else to a ghad, you stink. Listen,
- 26:23Speaker 1: if there's no way in this world, let me look
- 26:26Speaker 1: at this little piece of paper they gave me. Hold
- 26:28Speaker 1: on right now, seventy five of the tickets of the
- 26:34Speaker 1: money coming in on the Saints. That is a red
- 26:38Speaker 1: flag to about the Bengals, a road favorite, red flag
- 26:42Speaker 1: about the Bengals, A team coming off of a bye
- 26:45Speaker 1: as an underdog red flag. Sometimes one team is better
- 26:50Speaker 1: than the other. A team Saints are better than the
- 26:54Speaker 1: coming off a huge is gonna make breaks, Drew Brees, isn't.
- 27:00Speaker 1: That's the difference. Going from the difference to playing outside,
- 27:05Speaker 1: you're talking about nonsense. The worst one team is markedly
- 27:09Speaker 1: better than the other, tangibly the worst defense in the NFL.
- 27:13Speaker 1: I'm not talking like hyperbolically I'm not talking sarcastically. I'm
- 27:18Speaker 1: not talking in generalization. I'm talking statistics. Andy Dalton without
- 27:23Speaker 1: a J Green without a J Green is going to
- 27:27Speaker 1: make mistakes. Drew Brees is not Saints win. Saints cover
- 27:31Speaker 1: your fool. We'll be posting the music video and at
- 27:35Speaker 1: the favorite Pod black Jack. We got some work to
- 27:37Speaker 1: do because right now we agree on Arizona plus sixteen
- 27:40Speaker 1: and a half and the Jaguars plus three. We only
- 27:44Speaker 1: have five games left and we gotta find three games
- 27:46Speaker 1: we love. Uh Georgina Seattle at Los Angeles Rams, Rams
- 27:53Speaker 1: by nine and a half Rams. Anything under ten? Anything
- 27:58Speaker 1: under ten? Are you anything kidding me? Anything underten? You're
- 28:04Speaker 1: going to bet against Russell Wilson to back door cover
- 28:13Speaker 1: this game. A defense that continues to play phenomenally well,
- 28:18Speaker 1: A team that lasts weeks. Last week against the Chargers,
- 28:24Speaker 1: down by sixteen in the fourth quarter, they are A
- 28:27Speaker 1: dropped pass on an untimed down away didn't happen in
- 28:32Speaker 1: the last four minutes. It didn't happen. Randomness has to
- 28:37Speaker 1: be accounted for here. If you want to talk random,
- 28:40Speaker 1: let's go back to the Bengals, because there's a lot
- 28:42Speaker 1: of random stuff that's happened in their games. Do we
- 28:44Speaker 1: look forward? Do we do it back? I live left
- 28:47Speaker 1: through the windshield. That means you look forward. The Rams
- 28:52Speaker 1: are coming off a loss to the Saints in a
- 28:53Speaker 1: game that was a huge game to them. This is
- 28:56Speaker 1: a prime bounce back spot for the Rams. They are
- 29:00Speaker 1: going to throttle the Seahawks. Then Rams needed a little
- 29:05Speaker 1: bit of a wake up call. They got it. They
- 29:07Speaker 1: come out, They blow the doors off this team. Anything
- 29:11Speaker 1: under ten that defense has. Also, you want to talk
- 29:15Speaker 1: about getting HULD you like to sit here. They haven't
- 29:18Speaker 1: the uncovered the spread in like a month that you
- 29:23Speaker 1: talk about getting the best of the number. This line
- 29:25Speaker 1: in reality right now is eleven and a half. We're
- 29:28Speaker 1: catching it at nine and a half. That's the best
- 29:31Speaker 1: of the number. Shut you up real quick. Well, it
- 29:38Speaker 1: only goes to prove my point that we shouldn't bet it,
- 29:42Speaker 1: So we should bet instead, we should bet with of
- 29:46Speaker 1: the public. Put it asn't maybe on what side? I
- 29:51Speaker 1: don't know. We're gonna want to flip in coins before this.
- 29:55Speaker 1: Honest to god, we've never had this much trouble because
- 29:58Speaker 1: there's not a single game on here. Oh next, Los
- 30:03Speaker 1: Angeles charges at Oakland Charges by nine and a half.
- 30:07Speaker 1: Good news, Raiders fans, only nine more years of John Gruden.
- 30:11Speaker 1: What do you got funny? That's funny. Oh I don't
- 30:14Speaker 1: want anything to do this game. Yeah I don't either.
- 30:16Speaker 1: Georgie thinks Georgie Miami at Green Bay Packers by nine
- 30:21Speaker 1: and a half. I know, I know what You've got
- 30:27Speaker 1: that ship eaten grin on your face right now? I
- 30:30Speaker 1: know what I mean. You know what I want to do?
- 30:32Speaker 1: You want to take Aaron Rodgers right? Fuck no, at
- 30:36Speaker 1: nine and a half. Are you kidding me? Let me
- 30:42Speaker 1: tell you something, Chad. You are sitting here and telling
- 30:46Speaker 1: me right now that you want to take the Miami
- 30:49Speaker 1: Dolphins and the Brocket Ship. This you want to get
- 30:53Speaker 1: on that Brocket ship. Strap yourself in, brother, and right
- 30:56Speaker 1: each o the moon. I'm gonna Aaron Rodgers is coming
- 31:00Speaker 1: off of two losses in a row. That team is stattered.
- 31:05Speaker 1: They need to get back to the winning ways, and
- 31:08Speaker 1: they're going home to lambeau Field. Not only do you
- 31:11Speaker 1: want the Brocket Ship, do you want him on the
- 31:13Speaker 1: road going from Miami to lambeau Field. You are outside
- 31:19Speaker 1: of your mind. We're not taking the Brocket Ship. There's
- 31:22Speaker 1: no way Aaron Rodgers lay the points, it feels I
- 31:27Speaker 1: can know. So we're gonna take the Dolphins. Yeah, all right,
- 31:41Speaker 1: we are a clown show. Okay, it's too many points.
- 31:44Speaker 1: It's way too many points. Are you kidding me? Nine
- 31:48Speaker 1: and a half? Yeah, I'm with you. We got three
- 31:51Speaker 1: games and lucky. Yes, we're on the Dolphins, Cardinals, and Jaguars.
- 31:59Speaker 1: That's maybe we should revisit Jets Bills one of those two.
- 32:04Speaker 1: I feel like that's how you win a million dollars.
- 32:08Speaker 1: You got a zig when the rest of the people
- 32:10Speaker 1: are zagging. We're zaging all over the place. We really
- 32:14Speaker 1: are Georgi Dallas half. Philadelphia Eagles by six and a half. Billy,
- 32:25Speaker 1: Is there any part of you that thinks the Cowboys
- 32:27Speaker 1: are the right side here? No? Zero, none, anything under seven?
- 32:31Speaker 1: I would lay the Cowboys. There's so many ways Cowboys
- 32:36Speaker 1: are bad team. The Eagles Golden Tate nice edition, have
- 32:41Speaker 1: a week to work him into the system. Philadelphia getting
- 32:44Speaker 1: ready to make that push now off the Redskins loss
- 32:46Speaker 1: last week. The injuries the Redskins have had on the
- 32:49Speaker 1: offensive line, that division is still in sight for Philadelphia.
- 32:53Speaker 1: I really think Golden Tate is gonna be a big
- 32:54Speaker 1: difference maker for them. The Cowboys three and five. Man,
- 32:58Speaker 1: it's a bad football team. That's bad team, flat out
- 33:02Speaker 1: anything under seven. I'd lay mm hmm. I like, I
- 33:11Speaker 1: hadn't even considered this game at all. I hadn't even
- 33:14Speaker 1: thought about right now, we'll see. That gives me pause
- 33:18Speaker 1: because I was gonna say, it sounds like you've given
- 33:20Speaker 1: her a lot of thought, and so I did. Just now,
- 33:22Speaker 1: I was ready to lean in your direction. I'll tell
- 33:27Speaker 1: you what, it's not rocket science. I mean, really like
- 33:29Speaker 1: Dallas is. Dallas is an awful team this year. The
- 33:33Speaker 1: defense has played really well, but that offense is the
- 33:36Speaker 1: most predictable vanilla offense in the NFL. They run on
- 33:41Speaker 1: first down every single time, every single time they hand
- 33:44Speaker 1: the ball off on first down. It's it's unbelievable how
- 33:47Speaker 1: bad they are. Here's what that's Jason Garrett, here's what
- 33:50Speaker 1: I think that dude him and Andy Dalton. We need
- 33:53Speaker 1: to get the gingers out of the NFL. I know
- 33:58Speaker 1: you're that's like personal that you're you're saying that as
- 34:01Speaker 1: a personal attack. Well, Blackjack is taking a personal characteristic
- 34:06Speaker 1: and using it to couch a real attack, which is
- 34:09Speaker 1: that he is a bad head coach. I thought I'd
- 34:14Speaker 1: been personal towards me. No, that has nothing to do
- 34:16Speaker 1: with you. Everyone knows you love redheads. Ask your wife,
- 34:21Speaker 1: lovely woman, she's the best. Could do better. Oh my god, totally.
- 34:29Speaker 1: I joke about her all the time with her. I'm
- 34:32Speaker 1: not sure i'd bring that up to her. I don't
- 34:35Speaker 1: think you'd want to take that seed in her brain.
- 34:37Speaker 1: We're twenty years in, two kids. It's like she's in it.
- 34:43Speaker 1: Heard that before. Uh, why do we do this? We've
- 34:51Speaker 1: we've had success in this area before. Right now, we've
- 34:55Speaker 1: got three games. Let's put him maybe Okay, next to
- 34:59Speaker 1: Dallas and Philly. Okay, I'm gonna give you a maybe
- 35:03Speaker 1: with New Orleans and since even though Blackjack doesn't know
- 35:07Speaker 1: which way that maybe is leaning, and um, we've got
- 35:11Speaker 1: a maybe on the Rams and the Seahawks. Okay, so
- 35:17Speaker 1: we can do it maybe on the on the Paths too. Okay,
- 35:22Speaker 1: So we're gonna have four maybes. My senses, we're gonna
- 35:27Speaker 1: be on the same page about this last game. Georgina
- 35:31Speaker 1: New York Giants at San Francisco nine is by three?
- 35:36Speaker 1: Can we just start talking about the Maybies. You got
- 35:41Speaker 1: no feeling on this, none, I have one. Oh no, listen,
- 35:47Speaker 1: I'm disgusted by myself right now. I am disgusted by
- 35:51Speaker 1: you two because if I have to hear you say
- 35:53Speaker 1: Nick Mullins is going to be the next quarterback and
- 35:57Speaker 1: they're gonna get rid of Jimmy Garoppolo, well I am
- 36:01Speaker 1: gonna have to bring out the door. That's all I got.
- 36:06Speaker 1: All right, that's it. Um on you, all right? Are
- 36:10Speaker 1: you done? And everything? You believe it? Because I know
- 36:17Speaker 1: that Nick Mollins is not going to be the answer
- 36:19Speaker 1: for the San Francisco forty Niners. It's Jimmy G's team,
- 36:25Speaker 1: and when he comes back, Nick Mollins will be an afterthought.
- 36:32Speaker 1: Can I just okay? First first, I just want to
- 36:36Speaker 1: point one thing out, so there's no way we're going
- 36:39Speaker 1: to beat this guy. If if Nick Mullins, if Nick
- 36:45Speaker 1: Mullins were to continue to play this way through the
- 36:47Speaker 1: end of the year, he would have a longer track
- 36:49Speaker 1: record than Jimmy Garoppolo does. Actually, I hate myself because
- 36:56Speaker 1: I kind of like the giants here. This is not
- 36:59Speaker 1: even I kind of like the giants. You know what,
- 37:02Speaker 1: The giants you have just given it to me hard
- 37:06Speaker 1: here four times, dude, and I kind of like the giant. No,
- 37:13Speaker 1: I'm glad you're gonna stop me because I can't tell
- 37:15Speaker 1: I can't do it. Thank you. How many times have
- 37:18Speaker 1: we bet the giants this year? Like four? Four times?
- 37:21Speaker 1: Here's to think about the giants. Eli Manning, let me
- 37:24Speaker 1: top you off, is having like the best year he's
- 37:27Speaker 1: ever had. Statistically. You look at him and you're like,
- 37:31Speaker 1: how how are they losing any games? Because their defense
- 37:34Speaker 1: isn't horrible? Eli is pretty good. No he's not. But
- 37:38Speaker 1: he's been sacked thirty one his completion percentage because he
- 37:41Speaker 1: throws the ball behind the line of scrimmage. Well, he's
- 37:43Speaker 1: been sacked thirty one times this year the offensive. Every
- 37:46Speaker 1: time you turn on the television, Eli Manning is fumbling
- 37:49Speaker 1: the ball. Wait, look he just did it with his
- 37:51Speaker 1: mouth open, mouth breathing, dummy. That's not nice, all right,
- 37:57Speaker 1: So let's by the way, Eli Manning, Oh miss Oxford,
- 38:00Speaker 1: there you go. Nice time. Let's go back to the
- 38:03Speaker 1: Mayby is my friend because we're not you know, we
- 38:05Speaker 1: can't thank you. I'm here for you. I love you.
- 38:08Speaker 1: I love you too. So Patriots Titans. I feel the
- 38:16Speaker 1: least good about that. Okay, so then let's take that off. Okay,
- 38:21Speaker 1: you're not arguing with me. If that's when you feel
- 38:23Speaker 1: least good about I want you to be comfortable. I
- 38:27Speaker 1: feel like you're tricking me. We'll see, okay. Uh Saints
- 38:34Speaker 1: Bengals st. I mean, look, look, look everything if you
- 38:41Speaker 1: just on the field, the Saints are clearly the team.
- 38:45Speaker 1: Listen to what you just said, just on the field.
- 38:49Speaker 1: What else matters, Chad? What happens on the field. The
- 38:53Speaker 1: game is not played on your little paper. Played on
- 38:55Speaker 1: the field. Yeah, there are external factors, like A J.
- 39:00Speaker 1: Green is not playing. We here's the thing. We are
- 39:05Speaker 1: going to watch this game on Sunday. It's at one
- 39:06Speaker 1: o'clock Sunday afternoon. We're gonna watch this game. Can I
- 39:09Speaker 1: come up to the mansion? I would love it. Come.
- 39:12Speaker 1: I would love it. Everyone heard that's an invitation. So
- 39:15Speaker 1: when black Jack shows up at the gates, black Jack
- 39:19Speaker 1: better be let in. I'm not going to be there.
- 39:23Speaker 1: You can totally come. Where's where are you gonna be?
- 39:25Speaker 1: I got things to do. This is your job. I
- 39:29Speaker 1: can't sit around watching football day. You write a blog
- 39:31Speaker 1: every Sunday. But how you sit around watching football every day?
- 39:35Speaker 1: You know, fake news? So you're lying to people. Now,
- 39:39Speaker 1: that's absolutely true. I sit there all day on the
- 39:41Speaker 1: couch watching the games. You give us the Greenberg Diaries
- 39:45Speaker 1: about how your husband and father of the year while
- 39:47Speaker 1: watching football, and I am what I can do while
- 39:51Speaker 1: watching and betting and football. Most people, this is what
- 39:54Speaker 1: Chad sounds like when he's drunk. Just so everybody knows,
- 39:57Speaker 1: this is what Chad sounds like, slightly intoxicated. He doesn't
- 40:00Speaker 1: even know what he's saying anymore. What are we doing here, Saints?
- 40:09Speaker 1: I'd almost rather bet the Eagles? Okay, all right, all right,
- 40:16Speaker 1: this is tough because now we're at the Eagles, not
- 40:19Speaker 1: necessarily in our lane as a team that sucks that
- 40:22Speaker 1: we like to bet on. So that's a little different.
- 40:24Speaker 1: We want to revisit Jets Bills, Jets by six and
- 40:28Speaker 1: a half. Mccount at quarterback Peterman, Peterman the accounted quarterback.
- 40:34Speaker 1: I think that helps I do too a lot. Are
- 40:37Speaker 1: we gonna do this? We're gonna do this. We're gonna
- 40:40Speaker 1: lay six and a half with the New York Jets.
- 40:46Speaker 1: I think we are Nathan Peterman man Nathan Peterman, New
- 40:49Speaker 1: York Jets. There we go, let's do it laying points Jets.
- 40:53Speaker 1: Let's finish this theme right, Loser City. We're laying six
- 41:03Speaker 1: and a half with the Jets. We might be the
- 41:06Speaker 1: only people in the Super Contest doing that. This is
- 41:08Speaker 1: the best. That's how you make up ground. We are
- 41:09Speaker 1: going five and oh this week. Give me something, let
- 41:11Speaker 1: me touch your hand, let me just do something here.
