It’s a Friday in Vegas and every superstar from the world of music is in town. Just don’t let Elton John get too close to Jerry Lewis.
Topics include Tommy getting taken out by secret service, Brian sweating out an AIDS test, and exactly what goes on at 6:15? Also a slew of new listeners, mooching family members, New York style pizza, and the most understanding wife in history.

OK here we go – Just back from two days of the shits and projectile vomiting courtesy of my local Mucky D’s and feeling like crapolla.
So lets hope this show is a winner as I need some cheering up.
On the T-Shirt question – I also think ‘Whore and a half’ is a winner
OK guys 16 mins in – I don’t get the reference to the ‘REAL’ Pod Cast – It may be because I am thick, a brit or just because I dont know who Allen Iverson is (other than what I just read on wiki!) I guess you are having a dig but sadly it’s gone over my head – clues please
OK forget it – I finished the Wiki article and now I get it (I think!)
This is yet another show I haven’t listened to (yet) but on the Allen Iverson front (he’s one of the three basketball players I’ve met). He’s strangely small for a well known name.
Hey Brian, I downloaded a couple of episodes of “Cash Poker” and you seemed to a great job. What happened over there?

Alan Thicke Rules! Not really. Actually my wife and I have done the Tahiti Village timeshare demo twice as well as the original Tahiti timeshare once. We didn’t see a single celeb at any of the demos. We are just doing it for the free/almost free hotel roooms. This last time we got a room at TI for 3 nights for $125 total and then they gave us $100 in gas cards, show tickets to Riv Comedy club and 4 Tropicana buffet tickets. We of course used the gas cards easily, we have never been to the Riv Comedy Club and after eating the Trop buffet once and getting sick, we have 2 souvenir buffet tickets.
Send the trop buffet tickets into the show for use in the next prize pack
#8 = Sam’s Town?
“Great Show Guys” NFL Picks Broncos -3 Chiefs +3 Dolphins +3
Thanks for actually having an opinion on Cash Poker Hellfyre and not just validating it’s existence like most people do. I won’t go into the whole story again, but it was mildly successful here and overseas, but without big sponsorship money from online gambling sites, they couldn’t afford a second season.
What’s up with the “quotes” in Juan’s post? I feel like I’m being punked.
Plays for this weekend:
NCAAF:
West Virginia -23.5 over Marshall
Cal -14 over Colorado St.
UCLA -8 over BYU
Tenn -10.5 over So Miss (unofficial)
NFL:
Pitt -4 over Cleveland
Seattle -5.5 over Tampa Bay
Tennessee +6 over Jacksonville
Detroit +2.5 over Oakland (unofficial)
First 10 minutes of the show were such a great example of why I love this show. Brian has such great perspective on the life 90% of us live, and Tommy lives the life 90% of us wish we lived. So exactly what happened at 6:15?
another classic instance of B-mo & Tommy’s awesome sense of timing. FYI, Fever, the night club at South Point, closed on September 1st.
Also, Light at Bellagio closed on Labor Day. I wonder if the shenanigans that p_enut & I got up to at Light last Saturday night had anything to do with it. I should have known something was up when they let me in to begin with.
B-mo what line is the official one for the Oakland game? You used Oakland -2.5 in your post above, but the line you put out on Monday that i took was Oakland -1.5.
also, i am glad you saw the light and am sure Cal won’t disappoint. GO BEARS!
My official plays for Saturday and the lines I got…
Vandy +4 Alabama
Oh St -29 Akron
UGA -3.5 So Car
Missou -6 Ole Miss
PSU -17.5 ND
Miss St -5.5 Tulane
Hawaii -28 La Tech
Ind PK W Mich
Mia/OU Under 42
TX/TCU Under 44

Like Babe Ruth pointing to the outfield or Joe Namath in the SuperBowl….I’m GUARANTEEING victory in the 101 show call in contest. That ought to stir the pot a little and should drum up some calls.
BMO…since I’m basically conceeding the KFC bet (the M’s can’t win a game to save their soul) I’ll go with a virtual “double or nothing” with the carrottop bet. I’ll take the Seahawks to win the NFC West against your “supersleeper” the St. Louis Rams. If another team wins its a “no loser” push. The loser not only has to purchase a ticket and witness the Carrottop show…but he has to do it by HIMSELF…no drunk accomplices along for the ride. Pure humilation. Pony up brother. You down?
You say “the loser”, but if it’s double or nothing, the only thing I stand to lose is the joy of watching you clog your arteries with cheesy gravy, a small price to pay for the image of you seeing a carrottop show solo. I’ll take the bet.
My Picks
Detroit
Baltimore
SEATTLE
My NFL plays for the week and the lines I got…
BUF +3.5 DEN
HOU (-115) -3 KC
MIN -3 ATL
SEA -6 TB
SD (-105) -6.5 CHI
ARZ (moneyline +160) over SF
With my college plays that makes 16 total for the weekend. This Tuesday I’ll probably need a good divorce lawyer and a sturdy cardboard box. Oh well, all that really matters right now is that it’s football season.
Really enjoyed the show on the way to the office this morning and was especially pleased and surprised to hear about the new segment on table games and strategies there on!
I am going to play this episode to Mrs Mungus as she thinks you two are really scary – don’t ask me why, she just does!
Oh baby, I am in a Vegas mood today!
No no no baby. That’s a “VIRTUAL” double or nothing. I shouldn’t have worded it that way. I was just refering to the fact that I’ve essentially lost the first bet. GO TIGERS. They’re my only prayer. I’m currently on a Mariner’s losing streak hunger strike not only to protest their horrific play, but to also gear up for the huge caloric onslaught I’m going to endure.
I’m putting the Carrottop Bet back on the table. If the Seahawks win the NFC West. You my friend will be taking in the Coppertop Propcomic in all his Glory.
Plays for today:
Temple -3.5 over Buffalo for 2 units
Ore/Mich under 65.5 for 2 units
Georgia -3.5 over SC for 2 units
Indiana PK over Western Michigan for 1 unit
Auburn -6.5 over USF for 3 units
NCAA YTD: -2 units
When’s the November TAICON? I’ll be there 11/7-11/11 or so.
My winning 101 voicemail has been recorded. It was a proverbial 330 yard drive smack dab in the middle of the fairway. Let’s see if you guys can come get some.
I’m actually not this cocky, but I’m trying to FIRE IT UP. Let’s do this SHOW 101.
Nice Drive patch – but was it the right fairway?
So I know March is a ways away, but is anyone planning on going out for the start of the NCAA Tournament. I may be making my first trip to Vegas of legal age. If I have my house sold I’m hoping to be able to make it out. Anyone want to buy a house in Plano, IL???
What a finish to the battle of the coal miners. Just goes to show you there’s no such thing as a meaningless touchdown when cash is on the line.
To make it an even 20 I’ve added some plays. So far it looks to be an average year for me. 4 plays, 0-4. Play against me to win some big money.
No TX +17.5 SMU
Baylor -7 Rice
LSU -12 Va Tech
DET +2.5 OAK
I’m just about to start my back show catch up. I have beer and pizza, but as I haven’t slept since I got off of a 13hr flight the odds are not good on me getting through too many of the shows.
Also, there was a typo in my BYU pick. It should’ve been BYU +7 and not -.
My full list of bets for the games this weekend are:
Chicago at San Diego (-6 San Diego)
Pittsburgh at Cleveland (-4.5 Pittsburgh)
Philadelphia at Green Bay (-3 Philadelphia)
New England at NY Jets (-6 New England)
BYU at UCLA (+7.5 BYU)
And although I know most of you won’t be interested but in the Rugby World Cup I’ve also got:
Scotland vs Portugal (+62 Portugal)
Damn those “elitist” Cal Bears! I was 4 minutes from coverville and they pissed it away. Hopefully So Cal can show them how it’s done.
for contest purposes
BUFFALO +3
CLEVELAND +4.5
SEATTLE -6
while i’m at it, let’s try to get this baseball season total over 1000
Give me the Padres +125 tonight over Colorado
Season Total: +809
i’m no michigan fan but this is sad to watch
Hey. Is th clock on this thing being run by Tommy? It says 12AM on Sept. 9 and right now it’s 9:40PM in BOSTON.
Where are you guys?
Jeff
Guessing that the “RECENT COMMENTS” tab only registers comments on the most recent post. Here’s what I posted on the OOPS post and I felt it worthy enough to put out for ALL to see.

Let me get this straight. I come over to the site for the first time in a year of listening to the show. I vote for a thin-crust pizza, voice my support for bigotry and then find out that in three or four weeks when I get around to listening to this episode I won’t be listening to this episode?
Did you leave Tommy alone with the chicken, the fox and the bag of chicken feed?
Did Brian’s head block out the light so he couldn’t see the recording equipment?
Did Tommy decide that all the “TUBES” were black magic and he hopped on his three-speed bike and rode it out to Red Rock where he’s going to write a manifesto about whiffle ball bimbos?
How can you do this to me? I schedule my commutes based on upcoming episode lengths. So far, since you guys go WAY over every show, I’ve been able to get a nice job slinging burgers in a Montreal diner. Now I’m gonna have to work on my front porch this week because the episode will only last as long as I did in the tournament that Brian and I played at Mandalay Bay.
Oh, yeah. That’s right. People forget – Brian mostly – that in January 07 I came out to Vegas and played in that very tournament that Brian won. And he wasn’t the ‘winner’ per se, he was the chip leader in a three-way CHOP!
But I digress. I may not be famous for being the first This Ain’t IOWA visitor because it was Brian who bought ME food and drink. That’s right, you guys might think that the whole IOWA crew are moochers, but NOO!
Brian bought me a delightful meal at the Main Street Station Buffet.
So there!
Now get back to work figuring out the difference between play and rec.
Best,
Jeff

NFL Picks – Week 1
Minn. -3
Phil. -3
San Diego -6
jeff,
we are on an island just southwest of iceland
Tell the god father that he sucks, nebraska? Are you kidding me, they suck and i dumb enough to follow his advice. I would love to know where he came up with that pick. The were giving 17 up on the road and won by 3.
Next, can we just PLEASE fire lloyd carr. His act is so old. Next week, what was billed as this great game, Notre Dame Vs. Michigan is a joke.
Finally, i think that it’s really funny that michigan paid app state $400,000 to come to michigan and kill there season completely.
Ship It
Yzerman
man, it is so wonderful to see how much Mich and Notre Dame suck this year…
I’m so happy NFL finally start tomorrow… I’ve been sitting on the couch for 12 hours watching NCAAF…and get to do the same thing tomorrow….. this is my favorite time of year…
NCAAF: 7-0-0
NFL: 0-0-0
Take it easy on the Godfather Yzerman. He did go 2-1 with his 3 star picks. Of course, so did I. 3-1 if you took my unofficial Tennessee pick. I guess what I’m trying to say is, you’re welcome.
I think the new T-Shirt should read: 6:15 on the front….
Stick that up your grapple broncos
