On my new podcast, The Builders, I'm going inside the minds of the people shaking our future. Listen to the Builders starting October 13, on the iHeartRadio App, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. It's all just a joke. What is the value of these women? I'm Richard Armstrong, back with season two of the podcast, Curse of Miss America.

We're talking to participants, whistleblowers, and people who say Miss America didn't live up to their promises. He looks and he goes, you don't look like he suffered an eating disorder. I never received scholarship, I made a face for my student loans. Maybe this is the meta question for the podcast. Why does Miss America at this point?

Listen to the curse of Miss America, on the iHeartRadio App, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. There are thousands of podcasts that can tell you how to better yourself. Get Works with Kyle Prue is not one of those podcasts. So if you're interested in getting thinner, going to therapy, starting peptides and boundaries, taking supplements, making your better, getting closer, then I would humbly recommend other podcasts. If you're interested in blackmail, love, bond, and cloning yourself are getting revenge, then we've got a little something, something for a dastardly individual like you.

Listen to Get Works with Kyle Prue on the iHeartRadio App Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, I'm Jack Armstrong, he's Joe Getty. We've been trying to figure out how to describe what is Armstrong and Getty on demand for many of you. I'm gonna give it a shot. So most media is either a gender driven, or they're so shallow.

And boring. Don't learn anything anyway. We try to get to the bottom of the stories that are shaping our worlds and help you understand what's actually happening. So give it a try sometime. Entertaining and you learn something.

Where do I do? Listen Armstrong, you get the on demand on the iHeartRadio App, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts. Bippity, bopity boo. How do you do? It's our number one, hour one of a Ben Mallor Show podcast.

We thank you for supporting the pod. We're fighting the good fight here. And it does help us out a lot. A lot of you guys have graduated from the overnight shift. Now, all grown up working the dreaded day shift.

And we do thank you for being loyal and supporting the show. It means a lot. Don't forget about the fifth hour podcast. And I had something happen at a Mexican wrestling arena that I was hoping would never happen. And it put me in a very awkward situation, very uncomfortable situation.

You'll hear that story only on the fifth hour podcast today. So make sure to check that out. We will go back on the Mallor Travel Log. It's really a nine part audio book that we're gonna do on the trip to Mexico on today's edition of the fifth hour. So check that out.

And they'll be new episodes all weekend of the fifth hour. And we'll drop on Saturday in the mailbag on Sunday. So here in hour number one, we talk about that Thursday night NFL game week seven began. The Chicago Bears get by the Patriots. Who does Mike Rebo give the biggest piece of the Boston cream pie a blame to for the Pats losing to the Bears?

We'll talk about that also does wide receiver AJ Brown deserve the heat that he's getting for his substandard play with the Patriots. He is not a premium wide receiver. And what is your read on Bears Quarter Pack Caleb Williams randomly getting tested with Richard Sherman on the Amazon Kiss-Ass post game show over the NFL Power Rankings. We'll talk about all that. Don't be a Johnny come lately.

Settle in right now. It's our number one that's yours right now. An unpatriotic performance, if you will. Welcome in the beginning of another night of the Ben Mallor show. We are in the air everywhere together as we play to the gallery and soak up the spotlight coast to coast border to border and beyond on the vast and definitely powerful microphones of FSR and my nading live from the wash.

The mouthwash of gas, baggery, gay or on teed human from the world famous Fox Sports Radio studios where Peter from Ottawa and the RPS commentator, they all reminds him, you know what's in Mallor? Can you let us know what's going on with the one and only Express? I said, yes, workforce challenges slowing down your business. Express Employment Professionals provides workforce solutions to help reduce turnover, find qualified talent, navigate compliance and build the right size workforce with more than 850 locations. Express is ready to help visit express pros.com.

Today, that's express pros.com. And then I think it was Jerry and a jar and the mediocre Kabuki who said, I really need to know where to watch that big game on Friday night. I said, well, let me tell you, there's no time like October. And this is what it's all been for. The World Series this year begins on Friday night streaming live on Fox One, the Brookru versus the race while the first time World Series winner on baseball's biggest stage, you can stream it live on Fox One.

So make sure to check that out. A programming note, we will open the lines up in a little bit. And as always, this is our Friday show. So that means in our two, no calls, Benny versus the penny, the eight top hand pick games in the NFL this weekend will be handicapped. We'll tell you who should win against the spread.

That'll be coming up most of our number two. So if you want to get in, if you want to get in, if you want to get in, if you want to get in, if you want to get in, if you want to get in, we have a lot of professional callers. Well, this would be the opportunity right now. This would be it. So do what you want with that.

But in the meantime, don't bury the lead, my man. We're not going to bury the lead. Our lead story from the shores of Lake Michigan. It was the lead lifter on the new weekend, week seven card in the NFL. You had a match up of young upstart quarterbacks, a couple of guys drafted in the same draft class, a couple of years back, would Sparks fly?

Drake May leading the Patriot traveling circus as they rolled in to the land right there. Windy City, match up with Caleb Williams and Daubert. You had Al Michaels. Daubert. That's right.

Herbie was there and his dog Peter. He's a grown man and has to take his dog with him everywhere. It's slightly embarrassing. But they have a call on Amazon. I don't know if you're watching or not, perhaps.

Not, I don't know what else you would have been watching, but who knows? And we were staring at a wall. Good for you. So Caleb Williams ended up going over 300 yards, had 308 yards, a couple of touchdowns. And Daubert's put a big thing of ice water on Drake May and the Patriots with the win on Thursday night.

They win by six points. Luther Burton was a burden for the Patriots. The Bears wide receiver had four catches, a couple of big plays in the first half, 130 yards. And Chicago improves the five and two, which is nice, but not as nice as the Minnesota Vikings record, which happens to be in their division. Colston Loveland, good name.

He had a 12 yard touchdown reception for Chicago. You know how we roll here? The better story is in the losing locker room. And that is where we go, where Drake May had some sexy stats. However, another loss for New England.

They played a couple of tomato cans, got a couple of wins. And now they go back and play a better team on the road. And the same bugaboo pops up for the Patriots as they go down in this particular game. So that is a good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question.

It's rather simple. The answer not so simple, the question is this. Who does Mike Raibel give the biggest piece of the Boston cream pie a blame to for the Patriots losing to the Bears? Let's, before we answer the question, why don't we hear from Mike Raibel? Here is a Raibel commenting on his quarterback, who made a really bonehead throw.

Handy-capped the game. We talked about the fact that Drake May just don't turn the ball over. He got a good chance to win. He turned the ball over. Bears ended up cashing that in eventually for a touchdown.

Here's Mike Raibel on his quarterback. Yes? Gave us a chance he competed. And I know he'd like to have that throwback to Eli. But I thought he really competed.

And whether that was running around and a swamblin and finding good places to go with football, gave us a chance. I know he'd like to have that one back. He'll learn from it like he always does. And I'm glad he's ours. Glad he's yours.

He's got a lot of learning this year. He's got a lot of learning. Every interception he learns. He's learned a lot, Drake May. More like Drake May on that particular throw.

Patriot defense was unbecoming. Here's Raibel talking about the inability to wrap up and tackle, which I believe is taught in pop-owner football. Here's the Patriot coach on that. But tackling wasn't good enough. Not against this team.

We knew coming in. Certainly tackling on Thursday night. But against this team, whether it's Swift, or in quarterback, it just leads to extra yards and conversions. But we fought. And I would say that we need to turn a ball over.

And we have to tackle better. And those are fundamental skills. And I like the way they competed. And we certainly gave ourselves a chance. It wasn't a great one.

But it was enough. So I guess they just competed. I thought this was pro football. Don't you get paid to win? I don't know why they competed.

They tried. They tried. That's why we are in 2026. They tried. The Patriots tried.

They competed. Back to the question. So who does Mike Raibel give you the biggest piece of the Boston cream pie of blame to for the Patriots losing here the Bears? I've got Portuguese, Ernest Hemingway, and highly contagious. And we'll put these together.

We're going to burn up the dance floor is what we're going to do. So a Mike Raibel, you heard him there talking about compete, compete, compete. We gave herself a chance. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. You'd like to think that somewhere behind closed doors, Raibel is furious.

As the Patriots, the margins are thin. They were bedraggled, disheveled, and undisciplined on defense. It was football, malpractice. And Caleb Williams doesn't really throw the ball down the field. The Bears don't trust him to throw the ball down the field very much.

It's mostly dink and dunk, which is a bad sign for him being a big time quarterback. And yet the Patriots, they fell right into it. The Bears are like, we're going to miss a bunch of tackles. And we're going to chuck the ball within five yards of line of scrimmage. And you're going to miss a bunch of tackles.

And we're going to get a bunch of yards after the catch. And that's exactly what happened. And even with the messy play, the Patriots, it was still a winable game. So the heavy play of the Boston cream pie of blame does go to Drake May and the defense. May gift wrapped a touchdown opportunity, which should have gone touchdown to England, into a turnover for Chicago through the ball right to the Bears defender at the goal line of Chicago.

It would have been, if you convert there, you'll touch the obviously different setup in the game. And while the defense had a highly, highly, highly, what's the word I'm looking for here? Ill advise the case of miss attack alitis. Miss attack alitis here. The Patriots were not playing tackle football.

They were actually auditioning for a little side hustle. We hear that the Patriots defenders are looking to have another job in the offseason for the Portuguese bullfighting circuit as matadors. Hola, hola, hola, hola, hola, hola. Wave the cape, wave the cape, step aside, let the running back go or the wide receiver, and that's it. Toss in the festival of stupid penalties jumping off sides before this ball was snapped, which is fascinating.

And this was not a talent issue. There were some guys out for the Patriots, but this was not a talent issue. This was a complete execution of failure by the Patriots. And the injuries are an explanation. They're not an acquittal.

And people are freaking out about the Patriots offensive line. And the offensive line was not the reason that this game went the way to Chicago. That was not why the game went the way it was. Drake May was sacked a couple of times. In the game, he converted on a couple of big chump plays.

They adjusted the offense as we thought they would, which is what you're supposed to do in the big-boy football. And they figured out a couple of things. But you had the penalties and all that. And so you're collecting an NFL paycheck, do your job as the old Patriot coach years ago used to say. Now, staying with the Patriots, AJ Brown, a lot of valuable talk radio real estate was used on AJ Brown when he came to the Patriots from Philadelphia.

He was up on the auctioning block. And this was like, oh my god, the Patriots got the guy. And watch out now and all that stuff. Another night, another quiet performance for the big pickup of the offseason, AJ Brown. Six targets, that's it.

Six targets, just three catches, 48 yards. The word for his performance is hum drum, hum drum, which led to a lot of finger pointing. And a lot of it, like what's going on? I do, you used to be good. You're not good.

What happened? AJ Brown was asked about why he all of a sudden sucks. And here's what Brown had to say, why he's garbage now. I don't understand how the game goes. It's just kind of how the game is.

I know what player I am. And I know that that's always it. You know, every time I line up, I get a lot of tension. So a team turns taking their way. It gives a lot of opportunities for the guy to make players and soften that up for me and then I get my shots and go.

I got to make sure. All right, question. Does wide receiver AJ Brown deserve the heat that he's getting for his substandard play with the Patriots? So the only proper answer here is yepers. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

I love the fact he said, well, I'm a decoy. OK, time out. Don't all the great wide receivers get boxed up by the defense yet they still make plays. Isn't that the whole point? That's the point of demarcation that separates the truly great wide receiver from the average wide receiver that the team's trying to take them away.

But the great one still make the plays. AJ Brown is not making the plays right now. And New England has to be suffering from a chronic case of buyer's remorse. They thought they were getting a MacBook Pro, sleek, high performance machine with all the bells and whistles. And instead, they opened up the box.

And what they found up until this point, for the most part, has been an earnest, hemming way, royal, quiet deluxe typewriter. He's got the sticky space bar and there's a missing ribbon. And that's what you've got. And Brown, again, this guy was supposed to be a luxury item. Franchise altering player, a supernova, the kind of receiver who keeps the opposing defensive coaches awake at night, popping puns like tic-tacs.

And instead, he has been a guy that can't get open and is now saying, well, I'm just a decoy. That's all I am on. But decoy is a store brand receiver. Store brand receiver masquerading is a premium product. And I go back to the point we've asked this several times.

Where's the fear factor? Where's the intimidation? Nobody's trembling in their cleats against Patriots' version of AJ Brown. He's not keeping defensive coordinators up all night listening to the overnight talk show. They're sleeping like babies.

And Patriots paid for lobster, lobster, as they say it made. And they're getting canned sardines right now. And Brown has gone from a certified game record to a jar, not Jerry in a jar, just another receiver, a jar, just another receiver. All right, last word here. So the Chicago Bears side of things.

Bears feeling good about themselves. They get to win. They're five and two on the season. You feeling that great if you're the Bears here? Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, so much.

I was not overwhelmed by the Bears. It was fine. It was fine. I didn't think it was the greatest thing I've ever seen in all. It was a Thursday night game.

And one of the things that stood out, was on brand for the Bears. Quarterback Caleb Williams. I don't know if you stayed watching that terrible post game show they have on Amazon. Probably, god, does that suck? I left the TV on.

It happened to be on. It was a mistake by me. Bad job by me. Shame on me. They put the decks jocks on there.

And they just they giggle and laugh and say nothing. Yeah. So Caleb Williams, he was on there. He raised some eyebrows when he popped up on, I guess, called the Amazon Prime Video something, something post game thing. So he was sitting on the set.

And Williams called out Richard Sherman. Remember, Richard Sherman used to be good back in the day. Yeah. Called out Richard Sherman for not having Chicago. This is great.

Called out Richard Sherman for not having Chicago in his top five on his power ranking on some podcast, apparently Richard Sherman does. And then Williams said, I see it all. He said, that was his quote. I see it all. All right, question.

What is your read on the Bears? Quarterback Caleb Williams getting testy with Richard Sherman on the post game show over his NFL power rankings. That was so good. He got upset about the power rankings. Can I say, totally clueless.

These post game show interviews are a trip to the country club where the athlete is placed on a pedestal while everyone else just plays grab ass and gives the mani and the petty. The Mallor verdict on this one manufactured outrage, manufactured outrage. The quarterback of the Chicago Bears is apparently conducting a daily audit, a daily audit of who's saying nice things about him and the Bears, capital E embarrassing. So the Dr. Mallor diagnosis, I'm not a doctor, but I can't play one on the radio.

The Dr. Mallor diagnosis, Caleb Williams, suffering from a highly contagious and chronic case of Google Me Syndrome, GMS, Google Me Syndrome. There really is no cure. There really is no cure. Caleb Williams needs to be put outside, take the phone away, touch some grass, go out there, breathe some fresh air, and stop treating every friends and family podcast opinion like a declaration of war.

And we have to remind these guys sometimes, this is the National Football League. Last week, Jack, not the National Feelings League, not that. So you're playing in the NFL, Caleb, calm down. Criticism is not a personal foul. It's part of the price of admission.

That's part of the deal. And Richard Sherman tossed the pebble into the pond. And Caleb Williams is reporting, that's a tsunami. That is just a pebble. Trust me, Caleb.

Many more people now know that Richard Sherman A has a podcast and B did not include the bears, then if you had kept your mouth shut, because I promise you, it's mostly friends and family who are listening to his little podcast that he's got. It is the Ben Mallor show. If you would like to join this, remember Benny versus the penny coming up in hour two, 877-99 on Fox, 877-9966-69, if you'd like to be part of the live program. Also on X at Ben Mallor. That is at Ben Mallor.

You can be part of the arousing astonishing jaw-dropping. Well, we'll see how that goes. It's not necessarily going to be melodramatic. We'll see if it turns out to be that. We're not.

We get the full journey into the overnight. Mention Benny versus the penny. We're coming up next hour. And then if you stay with us as we work our way through the overnight and navigate our way around later on, of course, we will have way down the line. We'll have the lame jokes of the week.

The comedy club will open. That'll be fun. Right? The comedy club. That'll be great.

We'll have that coming up a little bit later. And in addition to that, we've got sports jeopardy that'll be coming up in our number four. So a lot of stuff. Koop, scoop on entertainment as well. Straight ahead.

I got the swapy swap. I got the swapy swap. What is that all about? We'll get to it. And we will do it next.

It's hard to imagine humans being in control of that scenario. I'm Walter Isaacson. Host of the new podcast, The Builders. Right now, living through an AI arms race. So I went directly to the people shaping that future.

Inland Musk. Dario Amadek. Alex Carr. Fei-Fei Lee. Palmer Lucky.

Because I wanted to understand what the most consequential builders believe. What they fear. And where they think this is all headed. Silicon Valley is always saying the cliche thing about the way to predict the future is to create it. Well, yeah, it's up to us.

But when you say us, who's us? Is it 400 people that you know in Silicon Valley? Is it me down here in New Orleans? They're brilliant, controversial. And they're already shaping the future.

The question is, whose imagination do we want to live in? This is going to determine the fate of nations and economies and the future of humanity. Listen to the builders on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts. For more than a century, Miss America's Local Country of Fantasy. Well, are you ready ladies?

OK, here we go. But over the past decade, the crown's been slipping. They said, goodbye to swimsuits now. Hello to lawsuits. I'm Richard Armstrong.

Last season, we took you inside the world of America's Next Top Model. Now I'm back with fees into a podcast, Curse of Miss America, investigating the rise, fall, and uncertain future of one of America's most iconic institutions, the Miss America Pageant. I never received scholarship money to pay for my student loans. Can you look at any goes? You don't look like you suffered a needing disorder.

Great, but it looks too ethnic. It's a story the Miss America organization really doesn't want us to tell. An exploitation of all Miss America's is treated by the Miss America organization as an attack on Miss America itself. Listen to the curse of Miss America on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts. There are thousands of podcasts that can tell you how to better yourself.

Yet worse with Kyle Brew is not one of those podcasts. So if you're interested in getting thinner, going to therapy, starting peptides and boundaries, taking supplements, making your bed or getting closure, then I would humbly recommend other podcasts. But if you're interested in blackmail, love, mom, and cloning yourself are getting revenge, then we've got a little something, something for a dastardly individual like you. Take a listen to some of the incredible advice we've given so far. Fake a back injury.

Get this right hand up your alcohol consumption. Only women should be allowed to have guns. Kill them. Kill them. Kill them.

Listen, it's already over. I'm all about lying if it's something that really happened. The next time a bear is running at you, you just calmly stop what you're doing. You look the bear in the eye and you say this isn't you. Do not preserve relationships.

You don't need them. You only need one thing, and that's the get worse podcast. Listen to get worse with Kyle Brew on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, I'm Jack Armstrong. He's Joe Getty.

We're Armstrong and Getty. We've been trying to figure out how to describe what is Armstrong and Getty on demand for many years. I'm going to give it a shot. So most media is either a gender driven. So they intentionally lead parts out.

Are they allowed to hear? They're so shallow and boring. You don't learn anything anyway. We try to get to the bottom of the stories that are shaping our worlds and help you understand what's actually happening. The Armstrong and Getty show practically perfect in every way.

I really like it. You guys just have been listening for over 10 years. I'll always be an avid listener in Veteran 4. The show is a collection of silly, serious, and irreverent musings of the day. Hilariously balanced with more than just a pinch of sarcasm.

Whether it's on the left or the right, if somebody does something or says something stupid, they're going to call it out. And I love that. I love it. I'm talking with Angie. So I'm going to try some sort of entertaining.

You learn something. Where do I do? Our also later on on Friday, the return to the fifth hour Podcast every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Check it out. Check it out.

The fifth hour podcast, New episodes drop on the weekends and the mailbag typically on Sunday most weeks on Sunday. So you have that to look forward to. If you want to be part of the show, 87799 on Fox 877 996 6369 also on X at Ben Maller. That's at Ben Maller. If you want to be part of the live program and in this hour, we have a guy from the nose.

Alex Levegan, but don't think it's on the X machine anymore. I think he's off there, so I can say hello to him. Just say hey. And then Koopalup at Bronco Fan. That's Bronco Fan.

Your comments can and will be used against you in the court of sports radio. So please, please act accordingly on that. And the Mallory militia with a lot to say, as you might imagine, many hot take artists checking in. And let's see here page down. Chip in the queue says, A plus on the Mallory monologue.

Caleb Williams needs to be made to understand that what Sherman's doing is just giving an opinion. Everyone has one, and naturally not everyone's going to have the same one. This life lesson is usually learned by age 10, but apparently not by Caleb. There you go. OG Art Puffin complaining says, right, Mellow Mallory monologue.

I see you had your pregame libation. I sat in a parked car for an extra 10 minutes just to finish listening to that. My neighbors think I'm having a crisis. They must listen to the show too. So what's for brunch break, he says.

I don't know what you're talking about. And did you want me to scream and yell? I don't know what you want me to do here. That was the way it went. Bill writes and says, why do you hate to bear so much?

I don't hate to bear. What did I say that would lead you to think that I hate to bear? I just wasn't overly impressed with the bears. I thought if the Patriots had tackled a little better, they win that game. And they were missing a couple of linemen and defensive back and all that.

We've got the Swoptie swap. We'll get to that coming up in a couple of minutes. We'll take some calls as well at 877-99 on Fox. Shane and Des Moines says the Bears versus Packers game was a humdinger of a barn burner. I don't know if I'd go that far.

I wouldn't quite go there. Commision Wayne in Duluth, the tight wad on one of the great lakes there. Lake Superior says, here you are proposing to LeBron today after the recent events. There you go, hunting moon in Mar-a-Lago. This is more about you, Commision Wayne.

I recommend some therapy. I recommend that you enjoy some nice therapy there and get the heck away. All right, my God. We are on X at Ben Mallor. If you want to be part of the show, there's at Ben Mallor.

We'll take your witty comments and all of that wonderful stuff. But let's go to the phones right now. The people would like to speak. And let's head to Las Vegas right now. And a man hanging out at a casino somewhere off the strip.

We say hello to Wild Bill. Hello, Wild Bill in Sin City. Hello, Wild Bill. Welcome. Number one.

Thank you for calling. Oh, you got more to say? OK, yes. I thought that was it. OK, here's my message.

We're in Ben, third one for Ben, who owns a Jack Mall from China will donate to Ben Mallor one in the North. What is going on with you? I'm working after. You work in NASA. It sounds like you came from another planet.

It sounds like. I am from Mars. You're from Mars? How's Mars? What's Mars like?

Mars is cold, cold cold. Yeah. Do you live out at Area 51? Is that where you live? Yeah, I live at everyone in the model.

I work in NASA and I'm an astronaut. Well, you sound like an astronaut. You sound highly educated and really very impressive. Well, I was on the moon on four in 1973. But it's got to happen.

Edward Gibson was the boss. Somebody wants to say hello to you. Hold on a sec. Can we say hello to it? There's a fan of yours that's called in.

You want to say hello to him? Yeah. All right. Wild Bill, say hello to your new friend from Boston, Scott. Blind Scott, say hello to Wild Bill.

Hey, Wild Bill, you in the Vegas stretch now? Hey, Wild Bill, how many cocktails did you have tonight? 12? I'm a morning. I don't drink.

Have you ever done that before? You sound like you're a method, dude. Hey, when you're a method? I'm a method. Yeah, I'm a method.

How many really? You know, every head right now. Hey, one more thing. Well, have you ever tried the roads? You know the roads that you buy in the little glass tube?

Is that your go to? You told the roads out of the glass too, right? I know theres a lot of them. Hey, Wild Bill, do you have a bed with a woman before? You know the car, I'm a genius.

I don't. I don't. I've been with me. All right, I want to put you on. I'm going to hear your voice.

I'm sure. I'm going to thank you. I'm going to move on from you. Scott, are you still there, Scott? Blind Scott.

Will you hang up on him too? He's on that. Oh, there he is right there. Blind Scott's our patriot insider. Can I go on?

Hey, did Vegas cover the spread? Because the Patriots were the underdogs. So the bookies haven't gone crazy. The bears covered the spread. The bears covered the spread.

The bears were favored by three. The bookies, you should see the bookies walking around the North End last weekend was a bookie weekend. Everybody's flying high right now. So that means all the betters are losing it. The bookies are patting their pockets right now because the Patriots fans like Michael Leprechaun, they just always bet the Patriots.

So the bookies went so much money. But when the Patriots won the Super Bowl in 2001, they were the underdogs against the Rams. And if you look at the Italian American club in Quincy, it's a famous story. They busted them for gambling. Dude, all the bookies got whacked after that.

Like 20 bookies got whacked after the Patriots won the Super Bowl in 2001. It's good story and all that. But with all the online draft Kings and all the other sports books, why are the neighborhood bookies still think? People are betting bookies because they don't know how to use technology and the state takes so much money. Well, that is true.

The States do take a lot of money. Yeah, but the bookies don't understand a push. So I've seen a fight on the street with gambling. They don't have to have the game pushes. When you pay out, well, who wins?

And then you have to pay. Well, no, it's a push. You get the money back. Nobody wins. You get the money back.

You still pay the big. No, no, you get the whole thing back. That's it. If it's a push, you get the big. You get it back.

This is a hardcore gambling competition. You pay the big because the bookies service you for that. If you win or lose you pay. But if the game ends up, it's like a 7.0 line, it ends at 7. You get your money back.

Whatever you bet. In the North End, they don't do that. They make you pay the big. I don't. Nobody would bet with them.

Why would anyone bet with them? Makes no sense. You're making, you're making, you're not even gambling. What are you talking about? You're even gambling.

Why am I even talking to you? You're not a gambler. The North End is the most famous neighborhood for organizing, but they make the most money here in organized. It's wonderful. Congratifers, trophy for that?

Do you get an honor to Congress? We make the most money? I know you don't gamble. can be talking about your ass i've seen people go back to the book that they're faced dead you know after getting out of the way of the line scott look at the mother did yes i'm sure you watch that whole thing happen a hundred percent scared i was scared part of an airport you know i'm here with you know i'm a mister i understand people that are people that are people and cat in the car like all the head blown off you know you got to watch out of it that's why you're blind you saw that stuff in your lost your vision you were taken back to you have it it's a hard-to-back on the hard-point gangster i'm coming back from the you're very good to me if i can one of the reasons why people don't know this one of the reasons why he bolder left to go left from east to go up yeah because of you he was afraid of you i knew why he told you when i told my dad he was a bad parent actually that's a true story you know i'm sure i'm sure it's what i thought it was a bad father you know but i didn't even know what i said we were jonathan and dellaware let me see your job and sent he yeah i know jonathan and dellaware he's going to crash me because you don't feel like right with that guy because i like him oh he's not online i say i really want to see what i want scott but he said i hope he gets the help that he needs go back and i'm not too big to do it i'm not too big like what kind of help do

they want to do to who i am you know what i mean if i'm not telling you i want to kill you whatever that means i'm not going to help you know i'm cured but i've been bundled to alexa vegan i like he began to declare all my back time he's not a vegan anymore he's formally he's formally a vegan he's he said he had a nice piece of meat if you're a vegan you can get back time like a playground that's so if i'm able to escape so it's after my date all right all right thank you i'm gonna move on there it is blind scott who told us yesterday he was back on his meds smart money says not back on the meds not back on the meds that's what the smart money is right there well kaleb williams made some plays on the field bears get the win after the game he called out richard chairman on the post-game show he also did the swappy swap kaleb williams doing the swappy swap post-game bears patriots and who do you think kaleb wimms on the field on the field i love how this is one of the most annoying uh... ridiculous things that happens in football and in basketball the jersey swap the jersey swap you know i'm talking about like hey we just played a game uh let me exchange jerseys although this is octas christian gonzales was injured so

gonzales unable to get her done in form in terms of uh... performing and all that stuff at high level anyway uh he asked both kaleb wimms as both drake may and christian gonzales for their jerseys post-game like trying to build this massive man cave and all that it's always octas and baseball at least back in the day i don't know what happens these days in baseball but when i was around baseball a lot what they would do is they'd have the clubhouse guy run over to the other clubhouse and say hey uh joe below wants to get uh that uh that guy over there's jersey can we do a jersey swap it's not done for the cameras it's just done in the bowels of the arena and that's it and that's how it goes and so be let's go back to the phones let's go to andre andre andre who's in the commonwealth and his dog will his hello andre welcome as well i hear willess i hear willess he's not happy not happy about that late interception uh becoming a trend with mr drake may who was on a hot street 45 points he put up against the raiders right last couple gains most of the touchdowns women in the interception he plays well at

home he's really strong at home and i think the silver lining here uh in the commonwealth and the patre fans is that the schedule is amenable right they're gonna take a trip they're gonna get jiggy with it party with sitting with a heated dog all day to night the break down their head to miami but on the road so that's a trap game also known as like a vacation right get to sunshine get the beach right do his woofs uh right well it's only it's only a trap game if you get sun poisoning then it's a trap game oh then that's not trap game have you seen the dolphins my god oh yeah they're in the march for arch until they really remain under that if they were in the march they'd be trying to win because uh you know you didn't draft arch in the first pick of the draft you can get up at the end of the end of the six around you can get archmending where you can even get benched you're gonna be on tambre you play now although in the six round you have to try to find himself perhaps without his eyes first year maybe it can mensa it meant that down there to you that's why that's why the trip the dolphins like well if we're getting frustrated with us once the time can we ask let's ask well what do you think of peter herp street the dog peter herp street your thoughts on that with us oh hey look at that well i'll calm down with us i

know you're jealous it was very favorable to herp street also favorable to this nakarutis and uh it's been like i you know i but uh you can get out we got the out of this wind here they're predicting which is i don't know it's a little bit of a catch 22 i know we need to support but they're saying it's going to be warmer but more rain and wind which is challenging for us on the coast here because that sometimes knocks out the power but oh you're gonna have a generator you're gonna stay inside right make sure you have some supplies there you'll be good to go indeed peanut butter and jelly you know what i mean your flashlight you know your old comic book you're good to go rather than the three feet of snow that we had last year you served in the blizzard at 78 though i'm a little bit you know which i prefer the wind you know at least you're not very snow so on and forth but patreon it's not great come on he is what we thought he was he's turned it's not that you lose it how you lose Ben first game of season all this moxie the hookbook the harness goes down at the three places the winnable game what is he throws an interception late ball game over same thing on the road in the chives right good ball game back and forth to get people in chicago again what are you talking about moving to indiana get your mind right i know there's politics but he makes no dog nonsense never mind

just keep it in chicago but the lake great mike dickah all right let's do it all right okay you can't do that the super bowl shuffle in indian after the chicago you know this let's get that straightened out but patreon again it can't get out of his own way so the schedule it's tough because you have the trap game aka vacation in miami then you have the vikings and oh no the package is the packers and the vikings factors both seem the schedule breakdown is that we're doing i don't know why we're doing the schedule breakdown i'm not sure i want to do it okay forget forget the schedule breakdown for me and will us break may stop throwing interception okay end it yes grow up throw it out of bounds so we can win some of these games only possibly we'll see that in fact i can go there he goes on re on re on re from the commonwealth you see the patreon said coach caught on camera candid camera during the game and he was apparently uh there's a water bottle which had some contraband in it and there the internet investigators are convinced the patreon's coach now trust me there was no diana was seen in the water bottle but the patreon's coach he supposedly had some banned substance in there however it is believed it was

just a smelling salt which i think are not allowed the nfl outlawed smelling salts you can do cocaine but you can't do smelling salts i think i don't know i might be wrong on that who knows but they're able to be sniffing some smelling so you might want to have given that to the patreon defenders who played like matadors the cameras on amazon cut to the sidelines there at one point in the first half and there was there was rabble sniffing from a water bottle and held the bottle who knows took a big yep big big whiff and yeah moved it brought it back took another whiff and there he was i was wondering how long it was gonna be before we saw something like that because they said they can still use smelling salts they just can't have them like the team can't provide it right is that what it was yeah yeah they have to bring their own it's a pot lock you got to bring your own smelling salt i should get some smelling salts that's good wouldn't that be good when we do the overnight show sometimes you're a tired just sniff some smelling salt i've never uh never tried that before has it have you done it i years ago i was in like high school so it's been a long time but yeah there's definitely it was definitely smelling salts because there's no there's no liquid in it's just it's a smelling salt right there i'm assuming it works otherwise i wouldn't do it right it just give you like a quick jolt of energy like yeah yeah yeah
