Speaker 3: So I don't normally do this kind of thing. But
Speaker 3: I I didn't want to hear any more about football,
Speaker 3: and I was just I needed something. I needed to
Speaker 3: cleanse the old palette, as were talking about earlier. So
Speaker 3: I just looked at what was the the the the
Speaker 3: most downloaded podcasts for the year that I'd never heard
Speaker 3: of on on my podcast app got it, yeah, m
Speaker 3: And one of them showed up by the name of
Speaker 3: Wisecrack wise Crack, and it was it was true crime podcast,

Speaker 3: interesting if they're done well right. So, without even looking

Speaker 3: picture of a stand up comedian and it's called Wisecrack
Speaker 3: and it says it's true crime. I'm gonna give it
Speaker 3: a listen, and I'm gonna tell you right now the
Speaker 3: very first episode, which is called Knock Knock, a lady
Speaker 3: walks in to so you know how in Scotland. What's
Speaker 3: the name of the town in Scotland, Barbroughs.
Speaker 2: What did you get?
Speaker 3: That was like five people that they answered Edinburgh, Edinburgh,
Speaker 3: thank you. They have a comedy fest. We're like like
Speaker 3: the convenience store, the paint shop and the wedding dress store.
Speaker 3: All the stores cleaning out their shops and they become
Speaker 3: comedy clubs for this one week, and comedians from all
Speaker 3: over the world come and they do comedy in these
Speaker 3: weird places. Well, this lady, it's raining outside and she's
Speaker 3: on vacation. She steps into one of these shops and
Speaker 3: there's a comedian on stage and he tells this story
Speaker 3: that is the most amazing story, and he expertly weaves
Speaker 3: comedy into it as he's telling the story. And it
Speaker 3: is a fascinating true story. By the way, I looked
Speaker 3: it up to confirm it. Everything he says is true.
Speaker 3: And that's what the documentary is about. I encourage you
Speaker 3: all to listen to it again. It's called wisecrack. WI
Speaker 3: s E crack. Wisecrack. What's the true crime part of it?
Speaker 3: I don't want to ruin it for you, Okay, it
Speaker 3: is too important, and I would encourage you to listen
Speaker 3: to the first episode and then I won't have to
Speaker 3: worry about encouraging you to listen to the rest of
Speaker 3: them because you won't be able to stop. Wow, I
Speaker 3: listened to the entire I think it's six episodes. Let
Speaker 3: me see six episodes in twelve hours. That's just that quickly,
Speaker 3: and that's how good it is. And then I listened
Speaker 3: to the first two again. Wow, it's astounding. I've never
Speaker 3: heard anything like it. It's called wisecrack. It is a fantastic,
Speaker 3: fantastic podcast. And I can't wait to see the movie
Speaker 3: because it definitely will be a movie.
Speaker 2: Oh sweet, it definitely will be.
Speaker 3: But it is a true story, and it happened, by
Speaker 3: the way, my good friend and Day about an hour
Speaker 3: from South End on the.
Speaker 2: Sea, Ballsacked by the Sea, Ballsack by the Sea.
Speaker 3: So I want to talk to Andy at some point
Speaker 3: to find out if he knows the story. But it
Speaker 3: involves a very grizzly murder and something very very scary
Speaker 3: and something very odd, and then in the end, something
Speaker 3: very important that we all need to understand, I think
Speaker 3: a little bit more so wyse Crack.
Speaker 2: Whyscra great podcast. Well, Andy's on the run from the law.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know he's He's involved in this true crime.
Speaker 2: No ye, yeah, is it hard to understand? Is it?

Speaker 3: listen to those who do you want to mir or
Speaker 3: or I'd rather have been do it.
Speaker 2: No, I can't do it. You can't do it. I
Speaker 2: can't do it.
Speaker 3: Oh I think you just I think I'm trying to
Speaker 3: kill me.
Speaker 2: What happens if somebody tries to fight.
Speaker 3: You gotta beat them here, So there you go. But
Speaker 3: right now, ladies and gentlemen, as we jump into sports
Speaker 3: once again, as were your your number one rated sports
Speaker 3: UH morning show in the world.
Speaker 1: It's time for five on the Power Trip, presented by
Speaker 1: Builders and Remodeling Remos.
Speaker 3: Thank you, love the listeners for voting us to number one,
Speaker 3: winning the championship in sixty four.
Speaker 2: Let's see here, Bracho. The Wild have lost.
Speaker 1: Uh. They have lost two straight. After losing four one
Speaker 1: to the Flames and then four to two to the
Speaker 1: Canucks on Saturday, they addle the Seattle cracking the night
Speaker 1: at nine pm.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I got.
Speaker 1: A sugarcoat it the first one, the first loss not great,
Speaker 1: but you know, he kind of it happens.
Speaker 2: It happens.
Speaker 1: The Vancouver loss certainly more concerning. Just did not have
Speaker 1: it the last couple of games, and and you know,
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a long season. Things are gonna happen.
Speaker 1: It just it just kind of kind of blows. But
Speaker 1: they can beat the cracking tonight in Seattle and salvage
Speaker 1: the road trip, make it come home, and then they
Speaker 1: got a nice homestand this weekend, so hopefully they can
Speaker 1: take care of business and and we'll come back home
Speaker 1: to friendlier confines and maybe start a new winning streak.
Speaker 1: But yeah, not not gonna lie rough weekend for the while.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought things were going so well. Yeah, and
Speaker 2: they are.
Speaker 1: They are still, they are still, but certainly a bit
Speaker 1: of a speed bump.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, good's not good? Good, that's okay.
Speaker 1: The Wolves host the Suns tonight at six thirty. Wolves
Speaker 1: have won five straight. They are a nine and a
Speaker 1: half point favorite. Wow in tonight's game. That I think
Speaker 1: is on the Wolves channel, the iHeartRadio Wolves channel, where
Speaker 1: I think you could probably find wisecrack.
Speaker 2: Yes, do you want football scores? I didn't ask you, Matt,
Speaker 2: Nobody said anything about Okay, all.
Speaker 3: Right, yes, here's what I'd like to do. I would
Speaker 3: like you to do the score and then I will
Speaker 3: do the standing.
Speaker 2: Okay, perfect. That's a great idea. I like that very much. Now.
Speaker 1: The Seahawks crushed the Falcons thirty seven to nine. Sam
Speaker 1: Darnold through three touchdowns. Your Falcons are four and nine.
Speaker 1: The Seahawks are ten and three.
Speaker 4: That was crazy because like at halftime, yeah, neither one
Speaker 4: of those both quarterbacks hadn't thrown there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's insane. I saw the score later.
Speaker 3: It's crazy, insane.
Speaker 1: The Bills, in one of the wildest games of the year,
Speaker 1: beat the Bengals thirty nine to thirty four.
Speaker 3: Unbelievable.
Speaker 1: The Bills scored twenty one points in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 2: Turnovers were huge, Yeah, huge, Yeah massive.
Speaker 1: He threw Burrow through interceptions in back to back throwers.
Speaker 2: He's still hurt. Yeah. I think they thought they could
Speaker 2: come back and win the division.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And Josh was always so good. Yeah, it was outstanding.
Speaker 1: Josh Allen is so good.
Speaker 3: I don't know anything about that team though, Buffalo See.
Speaker 2: I was going to say the same thing. The defense sucks.
Speaker 5: They are.
Speaker 6: They are such a confusing team because they might one
Speaker 6: week look like, oh, yeah, they're going to be in
Speaker 6: the AFC Championship game, and then the next week you're like, ah,
Speaker 6: I don't know who this team is. Yeah, they I
Speaker 6: don't have any faith that they can do anything right.
Speaker 3: And furthermore in the AFC, I don't know if anybody
Speaker 3: can score a point against the Houston Texans.
Speaker 2: Oh man, so good man.
Speaker 1: That game last night, the Houston Texans beat the Chiefs
Speaker 1: twenty to ten mahomes through three interceptions. Uh, they are
Speaker 1: that Houston. That's a I think it was somebody last
Speaker 1: night on NBC said that that is a super Bowl defense.
Speaker 2: That defense can win us.
Speaker 6: What's the It's the best defense in the league, Like
Speaker 6: you're of course.
Speaker 4: It's going to be a two of the best pass
Speaker 4: rushers in the in the league.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean they're just.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, defense wins Championships's got.
Speaker 6: A great play caller and their head coach, and then
Speaker 6: you know, if they could just find a consistent offense, Yeah,
Speaker 6: they're a real contender.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're really good.
Speaker 3: Well, go ahead and bring it up. He's not here.
Speaker 3: But Corey is always about going forward on fourth down,
Speaker 3: no matter what, going forward on fourth and one on
Speaker 3: your own thirty one is a dumb idea.
Speaker 2: I don't care who you are. Would you agree or disagree?
Speaker 6: I would say I would say, yeah, you're talking about
Speaker 6: the game last night.
Speaker 3: I'm talk about the game. O'tide in case you don't know,
Speaker 3: I guess. In the fourth quarter of a must win
Speaker 3: game Sunday night against the Houston Texans, kan City Chiefs
Speaker 3: coach Andy Reid made a decision he'd never made over
Speaker 3: a twenty seven year career when the proved the turning
Speaker 3: point in an eventual twenty to ten loss. With ten
Speaker 3: minutes remaining in the score tied to ten, Reid decided
Speaker 3: to keep the Chiefs on the field, facing fourth and
Speaker 3: one from their own thirty one. Instead of calling a
Speaker 3: hand off to Kareem Hunt, I had quarterback Patrick Mahomes
Speaker 3: operated from the shotgun with receiver Hollywood Brown in the backfield.
Speaker 3: The playbackfired, Mahomes passing the middle of the field for
Speaker 3: receiver where Rice fell incomplete.
Speaker 2: It was dropped. It was dropped. I mean it was
Speaker 2: a flat out dropped by Rice. I mean.
Speaker 6: The thing is, like, the problem is they're going to
Speaker 6: go back and look at that play and say, well,
Speaker 6: that was it.
Speaker 2: That was the right call. It was the right guy.
Speaker 2: He just dropped it.
Speaker 6: So it wasn't anything that Houston did to out execute them.
Speaker 2: The guy had dropped the ball. And then Collinsworth comes back.
Speaker 6: I think the next you know, after that commercial break
Speaker 6: or whatever, and he's like, hey, everybody out there. Statistically,
Speaker 6: according to analytics, it was a plus three positive probability
Speaker 6: that they should go forward to that on that particular situation.
Speaker 6: So you know, I'm with you with that much time
Speaker 6: left to go in the game. And the thing is,
Speaker 6: the Chiefs defense was playing well. Yeah, so it's not
Speaker 6: like you had to steal this possession and keep this
Speaker 6: drive going because your defense wasn't playing well. Pump the
Speaker 6: ball away, give yourself better field position, your defense hopefully
Speaker 6: gets a three and out, and then you can take
Speaker 6: over on maybe your own forty after a punt or
Speaker 6: maybe even better and get a nice part return. I'm
Speaker 6: with I'm with you hawk that, and I know that
Speaker 6: maybe sounds old school, but I would have punted that
Speaker 6: situation even though the play was supposed to be successful
Speaker 6: and the analytics supposedly back them up. I don't understand
Speaker 6: where the analytics come out and say that that's a
Speaker 6: plus three positive probability to go for it there that
Speaker 6: field position, at that field position, I don't under the
Speaker 6: with the mask in a high game, in a tie game,
Speaker 6: if you're down fourteen, sure, because you're.
Speaker 1: Going to run out of opportunities. It's a tie football
Speaker 1: game and you're at home. Punt punt, right, ridiculous?
Speaker 3: Yep, Yeah, that might have cost him the season.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, you're better. You're better with these this, like
Speaker 2: probably you're like there.
Speaker 1: Would say punt, certainly anything in that situation make it.
Speaker 1: Let's say punt, but sorry, but I would say, I
Speaker 1: don't know if I would lean one way or the
Speaker 1: other too strongly, Like I don't blame them for going
Speaker 1: for it.
Speaker 2: If and they all.
Speaker 1: Should have, I mean, if if he catches that, we're
Speaker 1: not talking about this and and and all that, so I.
Speaker 2: Don't blame them.
Speaker 1: I don't think I would have done it perfectly, but
Speaker 1: I don't. It's not like, how could you possibly? I mean,
Speaker 1: it's it's all it's one yard. My Usually what I
Speaker 1: usually say is like, if you can't trust your offense
Speaker 1: to get one yard in the National Football League, what
Speaker 1: are you even doing.
Speaker 5: That?
Speaker 2: Like you literally we could.
Speaker 3: Be talking about weddings and he'll say that.
Speaker 2: But I totally understand.
Speaker 1: I understand the certainly going forward, I understand not going
Speaker 1: for it. At the end of the day, it's it's
Speaker 1: that's what the coach is paid for to make those
Speaker 1: those big decisions. I don't know if he technically made
Speaker 1: the complete wrong one though, because again the play call
Speaker 1: was right.
Speaker 6: So let me ask you this then, because I you
Speaker 6: make a compelling argument, But at what point is it
Speaker 6: agree just to go for it from your own ten?
Speaker 6: I mean, you can't trust your team to make one
Speaker 6: yard of National Football League? Then how far is just
Speaker 6: be backed up to say this is too risky?
Speaker 1: I mean, if you you could make the argument that
Speaker 1: what's what is the difference between the thirty one and
Speaker 1: the ten at this point? Because you're already if you
Speaker 1: get if you don't get it, you're already they are.
Speaker 2: The other team's already in field goal or.
Speaker 6: Hinge, you got a forty eight yard field goal versus
Speaker 6: it's almost a certain touchdown probably the difference.
Speaker 1: I mean, so I don't know. That's again that's for
Speaker 1: the math people to decide. I'm not call me old balls.
Speaker 1: It's on my side of the fifty.
Speaker 3: I'm putting right.
Speaker 2: Exactly a cunning it. I think the seasons on the line.
Speaker 2: It's all about the situation. Thank you, whatever your name is,
Speaker 2: my name's Paul.
Speaker 1: If you're down fourteen, go for it going forward on
Speaker 1: your own thirty one is that's a hell escape.
Speaker 2: He's got that right. Who is the best odds to
Speaker 2: win the Super Bowl?
Speaker 3: Fallout boy team Rams?
Speaker 2: Probably the Patriots.
Speaker 1: The Rams okay plus three ninety second the Seahawks. Wow,
Speaker 1: Patriots are plus nine fifty, which is the fifth best odds.
Speaker 1: The Patriots is Denver higher than them? Nope, Denver and
Speaker 1: New England have the same odds. It's the Rams, the Seahawks,
Speaker 1: the Packers, and then the Bills.
Speaker 4: Maybe.
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't like the Seahawks as much as
Speaker 3: everybody else does after.
Speaker 1: Their defense is good, But that's a good defense, can
Speaker 1: I propose? And I think that's also if it all
Speaker 1: depends on which team in the NFC West gets the
Speaker 1: one seed.
Speaker 3: Relaxed pro lives and we moved on.
Speaker 5: But what what if the Seahawks and the Rams meet
Speaker 5: in the playoffs and Sam Darnel and just goes off
Speaker 5: on the Rams, beats the Rams and just goes to
Speaker 5: the and wins the Super Bowl that should have been
Speaker 5: ours last year?
Speaker 2: That will suck. I don't doesn't happen.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you definitely watched that Packers game yesterday.
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah? That so much fun.
Speaker 4: How about at the end, you feel like, here is
Speaker 4: some clock management that I just didn't it's weird.
Speaker 2: Why you're not? Yes, you just let the clock run down?
Speaker 1: That was so you put yourself in a weird spot.
Speaker 3: That Ben's ear in the booth if that was us, Like,
Speaker 3: what do you do? I know, I know, I don't
Speaker 3: understand that. I'm sure that there's a reasoning behind me.
Speaker 2: I just don't know what it is. Well, I hate
Speaker 2: both of those teams, so it didn't really matter.
Speaker 3: I really hate Packers suddenly. I don't know why that happened,
Speaker 3: but it did.
Speaker 1: I mean, the Packers and Bears are going to be
Speaker 1: in the same spot we were in. You're either going
Speaker 1: to win the division and be the two seed, or
Speaker 1: you're going to be the seventh seed.
Speaker 2: Chicago went all the way down to the seventh seed.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and the Lions still are alive too.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, we're still got to play them.
Speaker 3: We'll go through the standings with me after we come
Speaker 3: back to handle this. Okay, I'm not what do you
Speaker 3: what are you judging over there?
Speaker 1: Brother?
Speaker 3: Hey, it's the Power Trip Morning Show. We thank you
Speaker 3: for tuning in.
Speaker 2: We really do.
Speaker 3: We'll be right back, be careful out there.
Speaker 2: This is the fans. That's what I just said.
Speaker 3: Merry Christmas. Ever, Mighty Ben and Mussman, we talked about
Speaker 3: this early in the show, but I haven't gotten your
Speaker 3: opinions yet. I really need your opinions and I need
Speaker 3: you to be honest. And this goes without saying, but
Speaker 3: I know if I decide that Parker and I split
Speaker 3: the thirteen hundred dollars and just call the bet off
Speaker 3: that we're gonna catch hell online but at six hundred
Speaker 3: and fifty bucks. So I'm asking you both, as people
Speaker 3: who participated in the Power Trip Survivor tournament, how would
Speaker 3: you feel if Parker and I just called it right
Speaker 3: now and.
Speaker 2: Split the thirteen hundred bucks.
Speaker 6: Personally, I wouldn't care because I stopped paying attention to
Speaker 6: what you guys have been doing ever since I got
Speaker 6: out the second week one, right, So yeah, so week
Speaker 6: one the first time around and probably week two the
Speaker 6: second time around, So it wouldn't it wouldn't make a
Speaker 6: difference to me.
Speaker 2: If you guys, yeah, I wouldn't have a problem with
Speaker 2: that either.
Speaker 4: I mean, if you both agree to it, it's just
Speaker 4: the last two that's you know, that's on you guys
Speaker 4: f that. But I just hope that Parker is not
Speaker 4: acquiescing because big word, thank you, because and I think
Speaker 4: I said it right because because yeah, because you're Chris Hockey.
Speaker 6: You know, Oh my god, I'm just saying.
Speaker 2: And Parker he likes to be on the show.
Speaker 3: Maybe he's just like I understand. I just this is
Speaker 3: kind of a I and I hear where you come from.
Speaker 3: I see what you said. I didn't think that I
Speaker 3: might be pressuring him.
Speaker 2: I mean, I think I think it's fine.
Speaker 1: I speak for a lot of us on this show
Speaker 1: that we've had to acquiesce a lot worse at Chris Hockey.
Speaker 2: This is true.
Speaker 4: There's a lot of dignity at Left.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't know. I feel like I gotta go
Speaker 2: take a shower now. A lot of sonic time.
Speaker 3: Yeah no, I mean, uh, you know, Parker's got some
Speaker 3: big things coming up, and uh, you know, he was
Speaker 3: talking about how that six hundred fifty bucks would be
Speaker 3: a good thing for for him right now and.
Speaker 1: Zero right just who cares anybody else says, then we
Speaker 1: can start it.
Speaker 2: Again for a third time. I don't think that time
Speaker 2: for that we could do it into the playoffs.
Speaker 3: That kind of fun. Yeah, I would do that anyway. Okay,
Speaker 3: thank you for your opinions. Now time for some NFL
Speaker 3: talk here we go. All right, here are your division
Speaker 3: standings right now, then muss everybody else, Paul, here's the thing.
Speaker 3: Somebody's got to win the AFC North, whether they like
Speaker 3: it or not.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 3: The Steelers are seven and six thanks to Adam Thieling in.
Speaker 6: One catchup believed, but they got them involved.
Speaker 3: It's all about the locker room, and he brought in
Speaker 3: some positivity and love that Aaron Rodgers needed. And they're
Speaker 3: seven and six now, just ahead of the Baltimore Ravens
Speaker 3: who are six and seven, the Bengals who are four
Speaker 3: and nine, and the Browns who are three and ten.
Speaker 3: Any comments on that division from anyone over.
Speaker 6: There, Well, probably the most exciting team to watch right
Speaker 6: now is the Browns, but they're not going to be
Speaker 6: in it.
Speaker 2: No. The Ravens, you just don't know what you got there, man.
Speaker 2: They still like the way they're playing either.
Speaker 6: They almost look like they don't even believe the hype.
Speaker 6: They don't look like the same Baltimore Ravens team. And
Speaker 6: when I've watched them but they don't look inspired when
Speaker 6: they play there offensively.
Speaker 1: They're going to be the example everybody uses every year
Speaker 1: of why it should be record and not division. One
Speaker 1: of those teams is either going to finish like eight
Speaker 1: to nine or whatever, and they're going to host a
Speaker 1: home game and the you know, the Buffalo Bills are
Speaker 1: going to be whatever the math would be thirteen and
Speaker 1: four and go, why are we going on the road
Speaker 1: to Pittsburgh.
Speaker 2: I'm just going to have a rebirth that Ravens Steelers game.
Speaker 4: It was just one of those games that Ravens just
Speaker 4: didn't get anything.
Speaker 2: Called their way, no or somethings.
Speaker 6: You're like, uh, sometimes that touchdown, I still don't understand
Speaker 6: what is going on?
Speaker 2: That's a touchdown? What is happening?
Speaker 3: Did you tell me, Saucy that the NFL agreed after the.
Speaker 1: Guy read after the game that they said that would
Speaker 1: have been a touchdown.
Speaker 4: If you catch a ball, you see the guy's toe
Speaker 4: tapping right right around the boundary, you catch the ball,
Speaker 4: you get your two tae steps, and then you fall
Speaker 4: out about that's not a football play.
Speaker 2: But it's a touchdown? Correct?
Speaker 3: Yeah, said I think everybody agreed, except for the people
Speaker 3: who had to make the call.
Speaker 2: I can't believe it. Yeah, I can't believe it.
Speaker 6: I'm so tired of this taking yeah, taking five six
Speaker 6: minutes to have some sort of you know, third party
Speaker 6: person in New York look at this stuff, come back
Speaker 6: to the game, make a decision, and then after the
Speaker 6: game be like, oh, it should have been the other way, Like,
Speaker 6: what did you guys discuss for five or six minutes
Speaker 6: on something that is so obvious. He had both hands
Speaker 6: on the football, The football was not moving, two feet
Speaker 6: were down. I don't care if in the next frame
Speaker 6: he gets the ball knocked out.
Speaker 3: I don't care if if a bullet comes out of
Speaker 3: the sky and destroys the football.
Speaker 2: Correct, it's a touchdown.
Speaker 6: The second that second foot comes down with possession, it's
Speaker 6: a dead play.
Speaker 1: The plays over. Yeah, it's a touchdown. That guy gets it.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Blow the whistle, Yeah, blow the whistle. Blow the damn.
Speaker 1: I wonder if that's something in the future like a
Speaker 1: I can solve, like you just tell a computer.
Speaker 2: Is this a catcher?
Speaker 6: Kness got to be better than this virtual measurement wherever
Speaker 6: it is.
Speaker 2: Wow, well we had one yesterday.
Speaker 3: I like to see old gentlemen run on the field
Speaker 3: carrying yellow or orange sticks.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's part of the game, I said, sick.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well we know what youth is.
Speaker 3: Anyway, No, I I'd rather see. I don't like the
Speaker 3: virtual measurement. It's ridiculous. Yeah, it takes way too much time.
Speaker 2: Was faster, I would like.
Speaker 3: Yeah, how's it not faster?
Speaker 2: How does tennis have it right?
Speaker 4: You can immediately see if that service in or out immediately.
Speaker 2: How does the NFL not have that?
Speaker 5: Well?
Speaker 2: Bodies?
Speaker 1: So that's why you put the chip in the ball
Speaker 1: and the ball the chip has to be seen by
Speaker 1: the camp I know, but that's We've talked about this
Speaker 1: a thousand times. It's not about the virtual measurement. It's
Speaker 1: about the virtual placement.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's more about the placement versus the measurements.
Speaker 1: Which is what makes the virtual measurement useless. And just
Speaker 1: exactly it's supposed to the same time doing both fines.
Speaker 1: But you can't. Yeah, don't sit around the waiting to
Speaker 1: watch TV.
Speaker 3: Good old days when we worried about whether they gave
Speaker 3: him the left.
Speaker 1: Foot yeah, oh yeah, yeah, and they would kick the ball,
Speaker 1: they would move it a little, you know what.
Speaker 2: Ref Actually, he's more of a right foot guy.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Here the AFC South Jacksonville is nine and four.
Speaker 3: Did we all flee straight the Tracy Lawrence was?
Speaker 2: Tracy was?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 2: Did we all believe that he was done?
Speaker 3: Did we all believe that it was over for him?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I did. Yeah, I think has gotten a lot out
Speaker 2: of him.
Speaker 3: I thought they had trade. I'd like, I thought they'd given.
Speaker 2: Up on him. Yeah. They've won four straight.
Speaker 6: Man, They're good, dude, and they if you look at
Speaker 6: the rest of the schedule. Yeah, Jets, that's a win.
Speaker 6: Oh god, they to Denver, which that's gonna be a
Speaker 6: tough toffee at the Colts now without Daniel Jones.
Speaker 2: That's another win against the Titans. That's a win.
Speaker 6: They're gonna win. They're gonna win three of the next
Speaker 6: four at minimum.
Speaker 2: How about that.
Speaker 3: They're nine and four as we speak, just ahead of
Speaker 3: what I think may be the best team in football,
Speaker 3: Houston Texans, who are eating five and as you said,
Speaker 3: the Cold are eight and five. But they lost their
Speaker 3: quarterback yesterday to an.
Speaker 1: A Hexans d My goodness, the Hexans? Who are the
Speaker 1: hex and the Texans?
Speaker 3: Do you now that's what we call them now? The Hexans?
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're good man and the Titans are two and eleven.
Speaker 2: How bad do you feel for Daniel Jones?
Speaker 4: I just I know, I just got the one year
Speaker 4: contract and he's set to probably make some big money.
Speaker 3: If that hadn't happened yesterday, the Colts, the Texans, and
Speaker 3: the Jaguars would each of them would have a legitimate
Speaker 3: shot at winning that division.
Speaker 2: Right now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, now we're talking to the Colts have lost three
Speaker 1: straight and they made I mean, they don't have a
Speaker 1: first round pick in the next two drafts. They traded
Speaker 1: for a sauce gardener who is hurt. Yeah, yeah, he's
Speaker 1: out for probably a month. Yeah, yeah, I have to
Speaker 1: go in two minutes. But I do want to I
Speaker 1: do want to say this. Now we're taking a complete
Speaker 1: left turn from the NFL. I'm going to go to
Speaker 1: college football.
Speaker 2: Please go ahead, please, I just want to say this.
Speaker 6: I think that Notre Dame, Iowa State, Kansas State, there's
Speaker 6: one other team that decided not to play in a
Speaker 6: bowl game.
Speaker 2: Do whatever you want.
Speaker 6: Why is it on us as the public to shout
Speaker 6: you down for saying that you don't want to play
Speaker 6: in a bowl game? What do these bowl games mean nothing?
Speaker 6: If you're not in the college football playoff. They mean
Speaker 6: they're meaningless games to get yourself your players hurt for
Speaker 6: the next season. A team like Notre Dame does not
Speaker 6: care about the money that they can make it a
Speaker 6: bowl game. They have all the resources in the world,
Speaker 6: they can pay all their coaches.
Speaker 2: They don't need any of that stuff.
Speaker 6: So if they want to take a step back, even
Speaker 6: if it's a big middle finger to the whole college
Speaker 6: football landscape.
Speaker 2: Fine that's what it is. If you feel like they're.
Speaker 6: Quitting, fine, But they can do whatever they want because
Speaker 6: what we've figured out in this world of college football,
Speaker 6: there is no NCAA is no there is no governing
Speaker 6: board to put guardrails on anything in college football. So
Speaker 6: do whatever you think is best for your team, and
Speaker 6: screw everybody else. We as Joe Public, don't need to
Speaker 6: watch the not watch Notre Dame play in some obscure
Speaker 6: bowl game.
Speaker 2: The pop tart.
Speaker 6: Nobody cares about that. And I actually hope that this
Speaker 6: like starts to crumble in a road what what we
Speaker 6: are used to and the fabrica college football, because we
Speaker 6: need to tear this thing down and rebuild it in
Speaker 6: a way that makes sense.
Speaker 3: Notre Dame, Kansas State, Iowa State, Baylor.
Speaker 6: Yeah good, I'm you know, my guys at k State,
Speaker 6: you worry about building for next year with a new
Speaker 6: head coach Climban retires, Colin Klein comes in, We're all
Speaker 6: excited about it. He needs to worry about building his
Speaker 6: staff and recruiting players. It's not about playing in a
Speaker 6: stupid bowl game.
Speaker 1: And to your point, there are moments in these bowl
Speaker 1: games and I'm not ripping the Gophers like I like
Speaker 1: to were They didn't they have to get somebody who
Speaker 1: graduated to play quarterback a few years ago. Remember that
Speaker 1: game where like, yeah, they had to get him to
Speaker 1: play quarterback and then they played last year. I think
Speaker 1: it was Virginia Tech who had like twenty five.
Speaker 2: People sit out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, these are incompatible with the system now, and I
Speaker 1: totally agree with you, Ben. I was surprised by the
Speaker 1: amount of backlash that they got him, Like, who cares?
Speaker 2: Who cares?
Speaker 1: I mean, all due respect, I love to go for football.
Speaker 1: Program went to a couple of games this year.
Speaker 2: Great.
Speaker 1: I could care less about the guaranteed right, and so
Speaker 1: do a lot of the players. We've heard that not
Speaker 1: to give out company secrets. But there are probably a
Speaker 1: lot of guys on all these teams that are like,
Speaker 1: I have to play in Michigan the day before Christmas
Speaker 1: for the stupid game.
Speaker 2: Yeah to Phoenix, love you guys, gotta go over there.
Speaker 3: He left there, he goes, that's that's that's been right
Speaker 3: there and strong takes christ.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well if that's what makes him just dropping some bombs,
Speaker 2: thank you, I love that. Thank you a kiss.
Speaker 3: He did something really oh my, he didn't want you.
Speaker 2: That was very cute. That's right. But can I ask
Speaker 2: a follow up?
Speaker 1: Even though he's gone to it, he probably going, but
Speaker 1: anybody can, maybe you Hawk because you love college football?
Speaker 2: I love it.
Speaker 1: Do you think the thirteenth and fourteenth team are now
Speaker 1: that's just the precedent that's going to be set where
Speaker 1: they're just going to go, well, we didn't make the tournament.
Speaker 2: I'm out.
Speaker 1: We're not playing in the Pop Tart Bowl, We're not
Speaker 1: playing in you know, the Steve Lombordosi Bowl.
Speaker 2: Like I think that.
Speaker 1: I think going forward, these teams that are on the
Speaker 1: cusp or don't make it are going to go and
Speaker 1: I'm I don't think Notre Dame belonged in in any way.
Speaker 2: Well, they don't play anybody good other than the two
Speaker 2: games they played.
Speaker 1: They play a week schedule, they beat up on horrible
Speaker 1: football teams, and a lot of the times they get
Speaker 1: in because they're a huge brand. The two teams they
Speaker 1: lost to Miami and was it Texas A and m Yeah, right,
Speaker 1: like then.
Speaker 2: They play Navy. No, Notre Dame doesn't belong in it anyway.
Speaker 3: It's weird though, because going into yesterday, Notre Dame was
Speaker 3: ranked higher than Miami one spot and then suddenly, for
Speaker 3: no reason that I can find, Miami jumped him. I
Speaker 3: don't care. But what you said is going to happen.
Speaker 3: People are gonna start doing that, and then they're gonna
Speaker 3: expand the field, and we're gonna end up having thirty
Speaker 3: two teams in the college football.
Speaker 1: And they'll be Noll's regular bowl games. All these sponsors
Speaker 1: will just sponsored those. The other thing a very good
Speaker 1: breakdown of this, and of course it's a little biased
Speaker 1: because he went to Notre Dame. Brady Quinn's twenty minute
Speaker 1: breakdown this morning before the show was really good. He
Speaker 1: basically said that they didn't get in because of all
Speaker 1: the people that own this and all the people that
Speaker 1: are in charge of this want ACC teams or want
Speaker 1: SEC teams back, and then they had to get into
Speaker 1: an ac C team.
Speaker 2: And that's Miami.
Speaker 3: Anybody talking about Notre Dame not getting love or respect
Speaker 3: or you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: He has a pretty good channel based show, and I
Speaker 1: don't think they should be in. But his breakdown of
Speaker 1: it is like it's all owned by yeah, ESPN, well,
Speaker 1: and they want the SEC in it. Sama at ten
Speaker 1: and three doesn't doesn't belong in it.
Speaker 4: Well, the whole system, to Ben's point, the whole systems
Speaker 4: just messed up. I mean the rankings and you know
Speaker 4: the power of schedule and all that kind of stuff,
Speaker 4: and you got just a panel of people and who
Speaker 4: knows who that is picking what teams they want in it.
Speaker 2: Basically, they're going to have.
Speaker 3: To expand the field again, and even when they do,
Speaker 3: there'll still be one or two teams or piss they
Speaker 3: didn't get it.
Speaker 2: Wouldn't that be more fun though, because there's much more fun. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 2: completely story. I want that.
Speaker 3: You have to make the regular season shorter then.
Speaker 2: Especially with like no high school football anymore.
Speaker 1: You had it Friday and Saturday, Friday night, Saturday that'd
Speaker 1: be great.
Speaker 3: Do you make the I'm sorry, Zach, either make the
Speaker 3: regular season shorter or you stop pretending that them going
Speaker 3: to college matters.
Speaker 1: Yeah, or you play less games against you know, at
Speaker 1: the beginning of the season. Games you know, I mentioned
Speaker 1: that you are mentioned yes week.
Speaker 2: Thank you, buddy. I want you to know that you.
Speaker 3: Know what it means.
Speaker 2: But I think it's positive.
Speaker 1: But I mentioned the John Gruden idea last week, and
Speaker 1: I think it's a perfect fix to this. It takes
Speaker 1: advantage of the existing.
Speaker 3: Could you remind me because I never listened.
Speaker 1: So it was basically on conference championship weekend. They basically
Speaker 1: set a schedule of playing games essentially of teams who
Speaker 1: are not in conference championship play but are right they're
Speaker 1: supposed to make a level against teams that are, you know,
Speaker 1: maybe in the fifteen to twenty ish ranking. And he
Speaker 1: had like four or five games that you would set
Speaker 1: up in Minneapolis was one of the cities he mentioned.
Speaker 3: Man, ask you a question.
Speaker 2: Sure the gofers could go watch.
Speaker 3: I like that, but how long do you have to prepare?
Speaker 3: Like do you you announce it one week and then
Speaker 3: you play the next week?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's tough.
Speaker 1: Man, let's say, yeah, they do that for conference championship games,
Speaker 1: you know they Yeah, I guess you're right. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: I think yeah, you and you'd have a lot of
Speaker 1: schools have a large enough scouting department where they four.
Speaker 2: But you could do it, especial if you don't have
Speaker 2: to do it. I don't play football. No, no, you
Speaker 2: don't have to do anything. Must has to do it. No, no, no,
Speaker 2: no no, I must have to do a pregame show
Speaker 2: on Christmas Day. That's awesome. And a postgame show. Are
Speaker 2: you doing fan line? No, we have a post games.
Speaker 3: Listen to post games?
Speaker 1: I do listen you and Rosie.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's right.
Speaker 3: I think that's fun. I think that's a really legitimate
Speaker 3: way of doing it. And that's what they'll have to do.
Speaker 1: Like this year, it would have been like Oregon versus
Speaker 1: James Madison. That way, Oregon doesn't get to sit, you know,
Speaker 1: and do nothing for and get healthy for a couple
Speaker 1: of weeks, while the one in two teams in the
Speaker 1: country who are obviously ranked better than number five Oregon
Speaker 1: have to play each other in a meaningful game. Oregon
Speaker 1: has to show up and play or Ole miss and
Speaker 1: Tulane makes Tulane earn it instead of just you know,
Speaker 1: because Duke lost or Duke one one, Texas A and
Speaker 1: m and Vanderbilt Oklahoma and Texas and then Nordre Dame
Speaker 1: faces Miami and we don't have this controversy where Norder
Speaker 1: Dame gets kicked out.
Speaker 2: Notre Dame has an opportunity to.
Speaker 1: Earn their way in, or Miami has an opportunity to say,
Speaker 1: no doubt at all, no panel of people.
Speaker 2: It would have been spit hot all of a week
Speaker 2: and would that event. He's a genius. College football is
Speaker 2: a master. I love college football. Yeah, yes, oh yeah
Speaker 2: of it. But that but you know, that's always trying
Speaker 2: to make a run at the championships.
Speaker 3: I know that. That said, one of the best college
Speaker 3: football games I've ever seen happened on Saturday night. Actually
Speaker 3: two of the best college football games. Did you watch
Speaker 3: the Duke game?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: No, come on, man, And by the way, let me
Speaker 3: take a left turn. I know we never got through
Speaker 3: the standings. It's okay, you guys don't get and I
Speaker 3: don't blame anybody, Zach. When I talked about this Historday,
Speaker 3: the best season of automobile racing, of any kind happened
Speaker 3: this season in Formula one and nobody knows about it,
Speaker 3: but let me tell you it was fascinating. It came
Speaker 3: down to the last race. The guy who got third
Speaker 3: won the championship. The guy who who could have won
Speaker 3: the championship actually won the race, but he needed the
Speaker 3: actual championship winner to finish fourth or worse than the
Speaker 3: guy got third. So it was a great season of
Speaker 3: racing in Formula one, something I never thought I would say.
Speaker 3: And nobody watched it because the races happen in the
Speaker 3: middle of the night over here, you know. But if
Speaker 3: you want to read something that is fascinating, read the
Speaker 3: recap of this year's Formula one season. It was truly fascinating,
Speaker 3: and that included, by the way, the guy who won
Speaker 3: the championship getting disqualified in Las Vegas, right, Zacho, Yes, yeah,
Speaker 3: you got disqualified and he still won the championship.
Speaker 2: Why does nobody care?
Speaker 3: Well, I think it's a different type of racing, but
Speaker 3: also the timing of the races when they happen makes
Speaker 3: it hard to get excited.
Speaker 4: I mean, well, there has to be enough people to care.
Speaker 4: I mean, look at the money that they're of course
Speaker 4: the Europeans.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, worldwide. I mean it's you are.
Speaker 1: It's a massive but yeah, he's a world wide and
Speaker 1: I think I think it's gonna get worse, by the way.
Speaker 1: I think it's going to get more niche next year.
Speaker 1: Unfortunate because they're moving to Apple TV for their their
Speaker 1: TV TV.
Speaker 2: What's wrong with that? You got to have a subscripture.
Speaker 2: It's harder for people's farms can't get it in. No,
Speaker 2: actually it's not a prescripture.
Speaker 3: It's a different thing.
Speaker 2: Sorry. I was just thinking about my weekend AFC West.
Speaker 3: Denver's eleven and two.
Speaker 2: Man, they're great. I can't believe that's a great I know.
Speaker 2: I hate to say.
Speaker 3: About being well. Eleven and two. The Chargers play tonight.
Speaker 3: They're eight and four.
Speaker 2: That'll be a great game against the Eagles.
Speaker 3: It's over for the Chiefs right there. Six and seven.
Speaker 3: I mean, they're not officially lemonade, but that's it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean they'd have to get really lucky they
Speaker 1: get they play, They host the Chargers next weekend, then
Speaker 1: they go to the Titans, which is a win. Then
Speaker 1: they host Denver, who will have something to play for
Speaker 1: on Christmas Day, and then they get They are at
Speaker 1: Las Vegas for their last game, So yeah, the Raiders
Speaker 1: are life support.
Speaker 2: I'll say, like that, how about that? And they need
Speaker 2: to have other people lose as well.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of hot rummers that the head coach
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll at Las Vegas is going to be one
Speaker 1: and done. Yeah, well, I mean, and didn't they didn't
Speaker 1: they fire the other guy after one he was the
Speaker 1: interim and then they made him the head coach. And
Speaker 1: then didn't they fire Antonio Pierce?
Speaker 2: Wasn't he one? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah? They That team's terrible. The Raiders are really.
Speaker 2: They have been for quite some time. I got one
Speaker 2: of the best players in the league with.
Speaker 1: Crosby too, and the other thing that isn't you know,
Speaker 1: nobody feels bad for the Chiefs, but you're also not
Speaker 1: going to have one of your worst years in a
Speaker 1: long time and ten plus years you're not. You're also
Speaker 1: not going to get a fourth place schedule because the
Speaker 1: Raiders are so bad.
Speaker 3: Right over in the AFC is real quick. The Patriots
Speaker 3: are eleven and two. Wow, The Bills are nine and four,
Speaker 3: The Dolphins are six and seven. I didn't realize they
Speaker 3: were respectable, and the Jets are three and ten. Quickly,
Speaker 3: NFC looks like this. The Rams are ten and three,
Speaker 3: the Seahawks are ten and three, The forty nine Ers
Speaker 3: are nine and four.
Speaker 2: What a division?
Speaker 3: That's the NUS Cardinals.
Speaker 2: Three Niners just came off their bye.
Speaker 3: Yeah. The NFC South, the Buccaneers are seven and six,
Speaker 3: The Panthers are seven and six, the Falcons are four
Speaker 3: and nine, and the Saints are three and ten.
Speaker 2: The Panthers could win that division.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they may be the best team in the division.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Buccaneers, there were just a weird team there. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's a bad loss.
Speaker 3: Yes, who they lose to yesterday?
Speaker 2: The Saints?
Speaker 3: Oh, jeez, Louise. Over in the NFC East, the Eagles
Speaker 3: are eight and four. They played a night. Cowboys are
Speaker 3: six and six, Commanders three and ten, Giants two and eleven.
Speaker 2: Man are the Eagles the easiest team to root against? Yes? Absolutely,
Speaker 2: eight Chiefs, but yeah, much more.
Speaker 5: Just like.
Speaker 1: I don't know how I get it, but like they've
Speaker 1: lost to in a row and they're favored on the road.
Speaker 1: Who at the Eagles they're a favorite tonight that would
Speaker 1: be a good game.
Speaker 3: And in Los Angeles, in Los Angeles, Yeah, and then,
Speaker 3: of course the division. Everybody's talking about the NFC North.
Speaker 3: The Packers of nine, three and one, the Bears of
Speaker 3: nine and four, the Lions are eight and five, and
Speaker 3: the Vikings are five and eight.
Speaker 1: Here's the bit with the Packers. How big of a win.
Speaker 1: That was a huge, huge, huge win. Because now you
Speaker 1: go to Denver, then you go to Chicago, then you
Speaker 1: host the Ravens, who will be fighting for a division,
Speaker 1: and then you go to you come here for your
Speaker 1: final game of the year.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that game might not matter, for it might
Speaker 2: it might matter, especially especially if they lose to the Bears.
Speaker 3: What a Lion's got the uh, one of them.
Speaker 2: Is gone to suit. Brilliant The Lions in their end
Speaker 2: of the year bit, they have one of us. They
Speaker 2: play at the Rams. That's tough.
Speaker 1: They host the Steelers, then they're here on Christmas Day,
Speaker 1: and then they're at the Bears.
Speaker 2: To end the season. Well, that's a tough one. That's tough.
Speaker 1: What about the Bears. Give us the Bears, Give me
Speaker 1: the Bears, the Bears. Well, the Bears will end with
Speaker 1: the Lions. As I just said, they would clicked on
Speaker 1: the wrong thing. One of us gone too. Then you
Speaker 1: don't have a time out. No, I don't they Well,
Speaker 1: they host the Browns on Sunday. That team's terrible. Then
Speaker 1: they're at the forty nine ers, and then they they
Speaker 1: take on the Pack and.
Speaker 2: Then the Line, then they the lines.
Speaker 3: Yeah, every one of these teams has a tough run.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's tough, and the Vikings will be involved. Let's go.
Speaker 3: Must have been great job that Banks, must You're the
Speaker 3: MVP of the show today.
Speaker 2: I hope that the Vikings are going to be in
Speaker 2: that spoil play the game.
