10
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 3: we had a lot to work with. Those have been

Speaker 2: So we've had a lot of fun doing these types

15
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,960

00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 3: Bill Cosby himself one of the first stand up comedy

35
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:05,080

Speaker 2: good matchup to get us going. The number eight seed

46
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,800

Speaker 4: She was afraid of the dog. She saw me naked, nuts,

73
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 4: She's afraid of the light.

00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 2: I tell you that's all right, all right, So that's

75
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 2: rough handicapped is for me. Nige, You're gonna do a

76
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 2: little bracketology here. Who do you think comes out of

77
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 2: this matchup?

78
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 1: I think Rodney does.

79
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,919
Speaker 3: Rodney's been in too many of my favorite eighties comedies,

80
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 3: including Caddy Shack and Back to School and even going

81
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 3: back earlier or two. Well, Caddy Shack came out before

82
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 3: Easy Money. Look, Foxworthy's been good to this show. He's

83
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 3: really funny, very successful, tens of millions of dollars made.

84
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 3: And I might be underestimating when I say tens, but

85
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 3: I think Rodney Dangerfield's going to.

86
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: So handicapping it. I don't know, you tell me. I mean,

87
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: I'm on the three decide. Do you agree Rodney is

88
00:04:59,560 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 1: the lad?

89
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 2: But Jeff Foxworthy made like being country and a hicic

90
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 2: cool if that makes sense.

91
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 1: Or acceptable at the very least, right, Yeah, I.

92
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 2: Mean, I mean he sells out everywhere he goes. That

93
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 2: blue collar comedy tour launched the careers of his friends,

94
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 2: right Engvold and Tater salad Ron White so Larry the

95
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 2: cable guy. I don't think these folks exist without Jeff Foxworthy.

96
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: So you can vote right now. That's a rough one man.

114
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: I think I think it's going to be Rodney, just

115
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:27,679
Speaker 1: my prediction.

116
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 2: That would be I think a slight upset. I think

117
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 2: we seeded fox Worthy one position higher just because of

118
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,479
Speaker 2: the he's a little fresher in the minds of so

119
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 2: many people.

120
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: Okay, but we'll see.

121
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 2: Right now, it's early, but Rodney has the lead. But

122
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 2: go to Facebook, go to Twitter, cast your vote and

123
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:50,760
