The Markbelling Podcast is a 4 00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:18,720 Speaker 1: production of iHeartRadio Podcasts. 5 00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:23,120 Speaker 2: We have a quote of the day on Today's podcast. 6 00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:26,079 Speaker 2: Every now and then we have a quote of the day. 7 00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:29,480 Speaker 2: We don't have one every day because I don't find 8 00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:32,400 Speaker 2: a good enough quote every day. Plus my own quotes. 9 00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:34,400 Speaker 2: The things that I just come out with could all 10 00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:36,640 Speaker 2: be quotes of the day. But I have a quote 11 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:38,239 Speaker 2: of the day. The quote of the day, my definition 12 00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:40,800 Speaker 2: comes from somebody else, and we're going to actually lead 13 00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:45,760 Speaker 2: with it. I found this in one of the aggregator 14 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 2: services that I subscribe to to help me find material 15 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:53,279 Speaker 2: for the program. It's from somebody named Charles Bukowski. By 16 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 2: the way, I would bet almost ever anything you don't 17 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 2: know who that is, I wouldn't. I'm glad I didn't 18 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 2: say a dollar about what if you actually shocked me 19 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 2: and came up with this. He was He was a 20 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:10,280 Speaker 2: poet in the era in which some poets actually were 21 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,640 Speaker 2: not hoody twitty but were, you know, halfway bums, an 22 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 2: old era when Alan Ginsburg and the Beat poets came 23 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 2: out Bukowski, he just looked like a slob and he 24 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,480 Speaker 2: was like he was he was. He wore punchy, short 25 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 2: little things, and I just back when I was in college, 26 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 2: like people were into that stuff kind of. Bukowski was 27 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:32,320 Speaker 2: not like one of these flowing you know. His stuff 28 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 2: would be like about whinos, and he was more of 29 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 2: a Muhammad Ali type poet, if you know what I mean, 30 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 2: except very punchy stuff. This is a line from Charles Bukowski. 31 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 2: The problem with the world is that the intelligent people 32 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 2: are full of doubts. Well the stupid one. Stupid ones 33 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 2: are full of confidence. Boy does that nail it. I 34 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 2: go back to COVID, in which I was simply rejecting 35 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:10,119 Speaker 2: the official line that we were getting from the government, 36 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 2: from Fauci, the drug companies. But I didn't embrace the 37 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 2: line from all of the skeptics who said the vaccines 38 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 2: were terrible. That people said they there's some people said 39 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,080 Speaker 2: COVID is gonna kill us all, and as they're saying 40 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 2: it's just a common cold, I said, I didn't know 41 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 2: that something like this is going to require an open 42 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:34,080 Speaker 2: mind and evidence. There are a lot of things that 43 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 2: are like that the people who do the true damage 44 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,359 Speaker 2: in our country are people who are convinced they're right 45 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 2: when they don't know what damn thing. The people who 46 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 2: usually turn out to be right are those who think 47 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:54,519 Speaker 2: things through and are not biased in advanced in Advanced 48 00:02:54,560 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 2: by some conclusion that they want to hold. Great quote, 49 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,800 Speaker 2: and I'm opening with it because it applies to the 50 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 2: first segment of today's program, which we're just gonna underline. 51 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 2: I think that what we're gonna get into here following 52 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 2: my sharing of information about our title sponsor you Line 53 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 2: is particularly important. It covers two or three issues, and 54 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 2: I'm just underlining and drawing my attention. 55 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:26,919 Speaker 3: So. 56 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 2: You give it some thought, particularly if you're in that 57 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 2: first group in which you do have some doubts when 58 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 2: it comes to shipping packaging, industrial supplies, and equipment. Many 59 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 2: suppliers offer endlessiles of product. You Line knows what you 60 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 2: can't do with endlessiles of product. Test the quality of 61 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 2: each product and sure everything is in socc and ready 62 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 2: to ship the same day, and have a team available 63 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 2: twenty four to seven to answer your product questions. You 64 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 2: Line only carries supplies and equipment they have tested prime 65 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 2: I hadn't often used in their own business experience. The 66 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:14,119 Speaker 2: you line difference today visit you line dot com. There 67 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 2: are a couple of issues that I think are tied together, 68 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 2: and I think almost nobody has picked up on this. 69 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,719 Speaker 2: What I want to do is focus initially on one 70 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,039 Speaker 2: of the issues is my way of getting into the other. 71 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,039 Speaker 2: So that's a little bit of a setup. President Trump 72 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 2: did the interview on Sunday night. We talked about a 73 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 2: podcast earlier in the week with Nora O'Donnell on sixty Minutes, 74 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,599 Speaker 2: and I thought that it was Trump at his best, because, 75 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,839 Speaker 2: first of all, Nora o'donna wanted to carve him up 76 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 2: and interrupt him. But CBS is under new ownership and 77 00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 2: she was under I think instructions to be a agressive 78 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 2: with Trump, but to let him get his answers in. 79 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,160 Speaker 2: And Trump got his answers in anyway. One of the 80 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 2: areas that they discussed is I think an area in 81 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:21,040 Speaker 2: which Trump has been shockingly successful. One of the things 82 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 2: that we just don't pay enough attention to our problems 83 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 2: that we avert. For example, you may hear the authorities 84 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,920 Speaker 2: in a case, say we foiled a plot of somebody 85 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 2: who is going to blow up a school, you didn't 86 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 2: think anything about it, Well, imagine if they didn't. We 87 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 2: have the world a world right now that's on edge. 88 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 2: There's a lot of reasons for it. The radicalization of Islam, 89 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 2: factional dispear in many parts of the world, the fact 90 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 2: that the world is increasingly nuclear, the abrogation of American 91 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 2: power during Biden, a lot of factors. It is extraordinary 92 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 2: to me how much peace Trump is bringing to the 93 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 2: world now. The critics of Trump just want to say, well, 94 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 2: what about Russian Ukraine? And undeniably that war is still 95 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:39,920 Speaker 2: going on, and in the response that Trump gives here, 96 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 2: it's going to be addressed. And it's the point that 97 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 2: Nora O'Donnell is raising. But we don't pay enough attention 98 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 2: to the fact that it was only a few months 99 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:56,160 Speaker 2: ago that Indian and Pakistan were closed. This is one 100 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,280 Speaker 2: of those issues that I talked earlier about Pukowski back 101 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,720 Speaker 2: when we're in college, you know, and I don't know 102 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 2: about today. Nobody discusses ideas. When you're around other guys 103 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 2: in the front, we would discuss the issues. You know. 104 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 2: One of the things was debated is when World War 105 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 2: three breaks out. Whenever it is where will it be 106 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 2: or better put, what's the most dangerous part of the world. 107 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 2: A lot of people say the Middle East, but there 108 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 2: were many people this goes back decades that said Indian Pakistan. 109 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 2: They're both no clear and the level of hatred is 110 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 2: as great as Israel in the Arab nations, It's as 111 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 2: great as anything. It's religiously driven, it's border driven. There's 112 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 2: a time in which there was a separate country called 113 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 2: East Pakistan, since changed its name. India is predominantly hiddenu 114 00:07:55,520 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 2: and Pakistan is virtually entirely Muslim. You know. British colonialism 115 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 2: kept it all in order. But when they gained their independence. 116 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 2: It goes back to Gandhi, who is the great pacifist 117 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 2: at the time and probably averted in his era the 118 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 2: Great War between India and Pakistan. They were ready to 119 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 2: go to nuclear war. We managed to talk them off 120 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 2: the edge, as we've done again and again and again 121 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 2: under Trump. One of the things that simply can't be 122 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 2: processed by people who hate promp he's a warmonger in 123 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 2: the world. Trump is pacifist. Isn't the right term. Trump 124 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 2: believes in bringing peace to the world without American military intervention. 125 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 2: And yesterday's podcast, I talked briefly about the legacy of 126 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 2: Dick Cheney. He was an interventionist. Trump is not someone 127 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 2: who says, what doesn't involve us, to hell with it, 128 00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 2: Let the world go to hell, let them figure it out. 129 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:06,080 Speaker 2: We can't have that attitude. And I'm somebody that has 130 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 2: gone from being an interventionist, which I clearly was in 131 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 2: the Bush era. I considered myself a Neocon, but have 132 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 2: enough of an open mind to see it didn't work. 133 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 2: We're sticking our beaks into all sorts of things and 134 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,440 Speaker 2: just getting our people killed, wasting a ton of money, 135 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,680 Speaker 2: and nothing was ever gonna g anny better. And some 136 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,600 Speaker 2: of the conservative movement had gone to being isolationist. I'm 137 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 2: not that either. We live on a planet that if 138 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 2: a nuclear war starts out, it doesn't really matter if 139 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 2: it starts in Norway or Kardosha. The radiation's gonna kill 140 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:40,440 Speaker 2: us all, not to mention the fact that a decent 141 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 2: human being wants peace in the world. I think the 142 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,440 Speaker 2: reason Trump has been so successful in so many of 143 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 2: these areas is he doesn't view the world the same 144 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:59,079 Speaker 2: way the conventional leaders of both political parties do. There's 145 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:00,679 Speaker 2: another part of this that I'm going to get to. 146 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,199 Speaker 2: I said it was a two pronged discussion in a moment. 147 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 2: But here's the exchange with Norah O'Donnell, and I need 148 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:07,559 Speaker 2: to set it up because she had rupted him a 149 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 2: couple of times. She's just jumping on. You know. Trump 150 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,440 Speaker 2: said he was going to get the war between Ukraine 151 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 2: and Russia ended, and I thought he was going to 152 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,000 Speaker 2: get it ended prior to this. It's the one nut 153 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:23,840 Speaker 2: that he hasn't cracked. And it's I just think because 154 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 2: the leaders of the two nations want war, but look 155 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:30,320 Speaker 2: at all the others that he stopped. So at any words, 156 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 2: that becomes her premise. And Trump has a retort. You know, 157 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,679 Speaker 2: the term now is bring receipts. The term just came 158 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:38,960 Speaker 2: out of nowhere three years ago. In other words, he 159 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 2: has the documentation to prove his point, and he's going 160 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:42,920 Speaker 2: to go through I don't want to get the whole 161 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 2: thing away. He pulls out a piece of paper and 162 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 2: he talks about all of the wars that were on 163 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 2: the verge of starting or underway that he's ended. And 164 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 2: he's only but this is let's see ten months, not 165 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 2: quite ten. It would be ten months. Yeah, ten months 166 00:10:55,800 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 2: on November twentieth. So here's this exchange. But it'll with 167 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:01,959 Speaker 2: this a little back and forth about Russian Ukraine and 168 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 2: why he hasn't solved this, and he goes into some 169 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 2: of the others, and I want you to listen to 170 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 2: this because a point that he makes at the end 171 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:08,960 Speaker 2: is work is the subject that I'm linking to. So 172 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 2: this is again Trump from sixty minutes on Sunday. 173 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 4: Nd Nora, that was Joe Biden's war, not. 174 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,439 Speaker 2: I need to Can you take it back to the beginning, 175 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 2: Paul or not? Yeah, take it back. I need to 176 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 2: set that up again. Her question that she's asking is 177 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,200 Speaker 2: about Russia and Ukraine. So when he said, Joe, but Ace, 178 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 2: you know she's tried it, Why haven't read of the war? 179 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:30,320 Speaker 2: Why haven't you had an end of the war? And 180 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 2: his the answer that he's giving here is starting with 181 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 2: this didn't start on me. I'm trying to clean up 182 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 2: a mess that somebody else let happen. Now, that's so 183 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 2: that's the context that we're the answer will start. Let's 184 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:43,960 Speaker 2: play it. 185 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:47,560 Speaker 4: Again, Nora, that was Joe Biden's war, not my war. 186 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:49,960 Speaker 4: I inherited that stupid war. That should not have been 187 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 4: a war that would have never happened if I were president, 188 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 4: and by the way, for four years it didn't happen. 189 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:56,959 Speaker 2: There was never even a doubt. 190 00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:00,240 Speaker 4: Then the election was rigged and stolen, and all of 191 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 4: a sudden, you see them forming up at the line. 192 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:04,679 Speaker 4: And now I come back and I'm going to get 193 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:06,839 Speaker 4: that one solved too. But I brought I mean, just 194 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:11,560 Speaker 4: a little list of Look at this wars. How many 195 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:20,080 Speaker 4: did I solve? Cambodia, this is Cambodia, Thailand, Costovo, Serbia, Congo, 196 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 4: the Congo and Rwanda, Pakistan and India. That was going 197 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 4: to be a beauty. They shot down seven planes. Israel 198 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 4: and Iran, you've heard about that one. Egypt and Ethiopia. 199 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,320 Speaker 4: That's another beauty. Ethiopia built a big damn where there's 200 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 4: no water going to the Nile. Armenia and Azerbaijan. And 201 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,920 Speaker 4: if you take a look Israel and Hamas, which is 202 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 4: a rough little situation, but it's going to be I. 203 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:46,439 Speaker 2: Do want to talk about. I mean, you have branded 204 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 2: yourself the peace President. 205 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,680 Speaker 4: Well, I think I did pretty good. I solved Those 206 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 4: are eight of the nine wars I solved. You know 207 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,079 Speaker 4: how I solved them. I said, in many cases, in 208 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 4: sixty percent, I said, if you don't stop fighting, I'm 209 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,560 Speaker 4: putting tarif from both of your countries and you're not 210 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:02,640 Speaker 4: going to be able to do business. 211 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 3: Why isn't that working with Putin? 212 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 4: It is working with Putin. I think I did different 213 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 4: with him because we don't do very much business with Russia. 214 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:12,320 Speaker 2: For one thing. 215 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,960 Speaker 4: You know, he's not like somebody that buys a lot 216 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:18,480 Speaker 4: from US because of foolishness, and I think he'd like 217 00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 4: to be. I think he wants to come in and 218 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:21,880 Speaker 4: he wants to trade with US, and he wants to 219 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 4: make a lot of money for Russia. And I think 220 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 4: that's great. 221 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 2: That's what we get it done in a couple of months. 222 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:26,960 Speaker 4: To you, I think we're going to get it done yet, 223 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,200 Speaker 4: I think he really wants to do business with the US. 224 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 4: But it did work with India, and it did work 225 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 4: with Pakistan, and it did work with sixty percent of 226 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 4: those countries. I can tell you if it wasn't for 227 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:39,679 Speaker 4: tariffs and trade, I wouldn't have been able to make 228 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 4: the deals. But I stopped. As an example, India does 229 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 4: a lot of business with US. They were going to work, 230 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 4: they were going to have a nuclear war with Pakistan. 231 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 4: The Prime Minister Pakistan stood up the other day and 232 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 4: he said, if Donald Trump didn't get involved, many millions 233 00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 4: of people would be dead right now. That was a 234 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 4: bad war. He's ready to shut down aeroplanes all over 235 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,199 Speaker 4: the place. That was going to be a bad war. 236 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,319 Speaker 4: And I told both of them, I said, if you 237 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,840 Speaker 4: guys don't work out a deal fast, you're not going 238 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 4: to do any business with the United States. And they 239 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 4: do a lot of business with the United States. And 240 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 4: they were both great leaders, and they worked out a 241 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 4: deal and they stopped the war that would have been 242 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 4: a bad war, would have been a nuclear war. No. 243 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 2: One of the things that bad interviewers do is they 244 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 2: focus on the questions that they want to ask and 245 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 2: they don't listen. She kept prodding down, but what about this, 246 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 2: what about this? What about this? And I think that 247 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 2: she was missing where Trump was going with this answer, 248 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 2: which is really interesting. Prior to Trump, in prior to 249 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 2: Trump's first term, prior to a second term, people have 250 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 2: had positions on tariffs, and going back to that quote 251 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 2: from Pokowski, not enough people have doubts my position on tariffs, 252 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 2: as you know, has been mixed. I want to step 253 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:11,320 Speaker 2: back for a moment and then get to where Trump 254 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 2: was going with this. One of my criticisms that you 255 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 2: heard me express. I used to be a free trader, 256 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 2: I would say during the years I did this program 257 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 2: in the nineties and the early Zeros, I was a 258 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 2: free trader. And then I said, I'm not an isolationist, 259 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 2: but I'm something other than a free trader. Fear trader 260 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 2: isn't really the right term either. I believe that free 261 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:38,160 Speaker 2: trade versus protection is and free trade is better. But 262 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,960 Speaker 2: the mistake that we have made in our foreign policy, 263 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 2: and this goes back decades of past presidents, is we 264 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 2: have treated foreign policy and trade policy as separate. One 265 00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 2: of the reasons China has walked all over US ever 266 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 2: since events Nixon went to China in nineteen seventy two 267 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:10,320 Speaker 2: three whatever it was fifty years ago and opened the 268 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 2: door to us having a relationship with China is we 269 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 2: have had certain desires for China to behave in certain 270 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:23,800 Speaker 2: ways with regard to foreign policy, but we didn't use 271 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 2: our best lever, which is trade. China's economy has grown 272 00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,800 Speaker 2: largely because of the business it does with the United States. 273 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,400 Speaker 2: We could have used that business and the threat to 274 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 2: do less of it as leverage to get China to 275 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 2: do what we wanted them to do in other areas. 276 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:44,480 Speaker 2: But we've kept the two separate because, oh, don't mess 277 00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 2: up trade. Don' messuprade. They're too many American companies that 278 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 2: better from trade. Trump Trump has said, screw that, I 279 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 2: got a tool here in any dealing that we have 280 00:16:56,320 --> 00:17:02,080 Speaker 2: in life. You use the leverage you have. Trade and 281 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 2: foreign policy under Trump have become connected. Without regard to 282 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:12,080 Speaker 2: your view of trade and tariff. Oh, it's raising prices 283 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:15,240 Speaker 2: for Americans. Well, whether it is or it isn't. First 284 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:18,119 Speaker 2: of all, I think that the evidence is is that 285 00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:22,840 Speaker 2: it actually isn't, which is surprising. But maybe it is, 286 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:29,159 Speaker 2: maybe it will. There are other components to this. Trump said, 287 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 2: when India and Pakistan, we're ready to go nukate one 288 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:35,919 Speaker 2: another member. Both are nuclear. He said he's gonna slap 289 00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,640 Speaker 2: tariffs on the both of them. India felt as though 290 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,600 Speaker 2: it was aggrieved and it was going to hit Pakistan. 291 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,320 Speaker 2: Do you understand how important the United States is to 292 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 2: India's economy. It's right there with China. Trump said, I'm 293 00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,760 Speaker 2: gonna tariff you to death if you hit Pakistan, and 294 00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:05,000 Speaker 2: he told Pakistan the same thing that got them off 295 00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:14,160 Speaker 2: what could have been a terrible world war. No, why 296 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 2: is it working with Russia? Trump at an interesting point, 297 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 2: We actually don't trade much with Russia versus all. Russia 298 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:27,199 Speaker 2: doesn't have many exports. They got vodka, and they've got energy. Well, 299 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 2: we have a lot of energy ourselves. We don't need 300 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:32,440 Speaker 2: their energy. A lot of other nations do. And now 301 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:34,760 Speaker 2: they figured out how to make vodka from damn near everything. 302 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:39,920 Speaker 2: I swear when I find is there anything you can't 303 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:43,359 Speaker 2: make vodka from? You basically let something rot and it 304 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:47,760 Speaker 2: then turns into vogue. Anyway, we don't do a lot 305 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,480 Speaker 2: of business with them, So therefore Trump has not had 306 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:53,120 Speaker 2: the ability to tear a Russia to death because they 307 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:57,720 Speaker 2: don't sell that much stuff to us. The point though, 308 00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,439 Speaker 2: that Trump was making in all of these high spots 309 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:04,639 Speaker 2: that he's averted, he's used not terrafts but the threat 310 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:11,400 Speaker 2: of tariffs to make a more peaceful world. Here's where 311 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 2: Trump's I love the term fresh eyes because it just 312 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 2: works when you see something you know. The cops use 313 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:19,840 Speaker 2: it all the time. If two detectives are stimied in 314 00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:21,560 Speaker 2: a case, they'll move off to something else, So they're 315 00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:23,960 Speaker 2: bringing two others. Because you just look at it something 316 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 2: so long you miss the obvious. One of the things 317 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,119 Speaker 2: that I do when I kill time on a plane 318 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 2: is I'll do a crosser puzzle stuff like that. When 319 00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,280 Speaker 2: I get stalled in an area, I moved to another 320 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 2: part of the puzzle. Come back ten minutes later to 321 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,040 Speaker 2: the part that I was like, It's amazing how I 322 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 2: get the answer. It's amazing. Your mind gets cleared, and 323 00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:44,399 Speaker 2: you know the things that you were flummocks on fresh eyes. 324 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:50,080 Speaker 2: Trump has had fresh eyes. If Trump's good at anything 325 00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 2: in life, it's understanding what his strengths and weaknesses are. 326 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 2: It's how he's done all of these It's how he 327 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,760 Speaker 2: built Atlantic City, It's how he built his casinos in 328 00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:59,399 Speaker 2: some of these bond deals in which frankly, he got 329 00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:02,520 Speaker 2: the better of a lot of these negotiations because he 330 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 2: figured out the strengths and weaknesses. He's very good at 331 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:10,480 Speaker 2: understanding leverage and pressure. The United States is a massive 332 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 2: consumer nation, and it is also still a massive producer 333 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:20,360 Speaker 2: of product, particularly technology. Lots of nations in the world 334 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:24,280 Speaker 2: need our stuff and they need us to buy their stuff. 335 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:28,439 Speaker 2: So he's put that on the table, and he's using it, 336 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,520 Speaker 2: and I think so far to great success. You can't 337 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,640 Speaker 2: look at trade in a vacuum. Are we getting screwed 338 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:42,879 Speaker 2: by other countries? Are the tariff's going to raise prices 339 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 2: on us? And the other point the Trump makes look 340 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 2: at all the money we're making off the tariffs. That 341 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,879 Speaker 2: is one component of it. But the other component of 342 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,240 Speaker 2: it is we can use the threat of slapping you 343 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 2: with a terraf for not selling our stuff to you, 344 00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:56,119 Speaker 2: or blocking you from selling to what is selling to us, 345 00:20:56,200 --> 00:21:00,639 Speaker 2: et cetera, to achieve all sorts of other important goals 346 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:09,240 Speaker 2: we have, including world peace. Unrelated to tariff. Trump mentioned 347 00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:13,680 Speaker 2: Israel and Iran. Well, we know he settled that. Trump 348 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:17,640 Speaker 2: just sized this up. Iran's ason. The hole is we're 349 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 2: building nukes and we can threaten to nuke out Israel. 350 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 2: Trump knocked out at RAN's nukes, and now Iran is 351 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 2: probably going to spend all of its time going back 352 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,040 Speaker 2: to square one and rebuilding its nukes. And so Iran, 353 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,320 Speaker 2: we're not going to support Hamas anymore. We got bigger 354 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:39,200 Speaker 2: problems here. Trump's solved two problems there. First of all, 355 00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 2: he looked the other way as Israel bombed Iran and 356 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:48,680 Speaker 2: took out Iran's defenses, so when we came in to bomb, 357 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,439 Speaker 2: they couldn't shoot any of our bombers down because Israel 358 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,600 Speaker 2: had pummeled all of their anti aircraft on the ground. 359 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,040 Speaker 2: Let them do all of that. So we went in untouched, 360 00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:59,120 Speaker 2: dropped these bombs, wipe out the nuclear program. How can 361 00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,680 Speaker 2: anyone argue that hasn't made for him our peaceful world. 362 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:07,920 Speaker 2: It may result in peace throughout the Middle East, which 363 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:11,359 Speaker 2: brings you to myn X point. The Supreme Court is 364 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:15,080 Speaker 2: hearing oral arguments this hazard or oral arguments this week 365 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,399 Speaker 2: on whether or not Trump has the ability to unilaterally 366 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:23,240 Speaker 2: imposed heroffs. Trump says it's the most important ruling the 367 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:28,359 Speaker 2: Supreme Court will make one hundred years. I'd say at 368 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,359 Speaker 2: least seventy five Brown versus Board of Education. Separate but 369 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:39,040 Speaker 2: equal is unconstitutionally really important. It's huge. The fear is 370 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 2: the two moderates who lean conservative, the Chief Justice and 371 00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:53,480 Speaker 2: the law professor from Notre Dame. Are they going to 372 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:57,639 Speaker 2: rule that Trump doesn't have this authority. I think it 373 00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:05,520 Speaker 2: is critical that the Court get this right. Trump is 374 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 2: using not tariffs alone, but the threat of tariffs. You 375 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,960 Speaker 2: can't go to the Congress and pass a bill setting 376 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:14,880 Speaker 2: a tariff if you're then going to take a change 377 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,399 Speaker 2: it back. He wants to be able to threaten alter 378 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:23,359 Speaker 2: moves so he can utilize this power to exercise American 379 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 2: foreign policy. The one thing the Constitution is clear on 380 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:29,960 Speaker 2: is that foreign policy is the exclusive role of the 381 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 2: executive branch, not declaration of war but everything else. Marco 382 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,240 Speaker 2: Rubio has made this point clear. The Supreme Court can't 383 00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 2: tell Trump anything on foreign policy. The concert is clear 384 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:42,320 Speaker 2: it is the domain of the executive. The question is 385 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:48,160 Speaker 2: trade foreign policy. Constitution doesn't say it's a gray area. 386 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,560 Speaker 2: I think it is critical that they get this right. 387 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 2: If you don't want us to use trade as a leverage, 388 00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:01,639 Speaker 2: you simply a fight not only the world to walk 389 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,919 Speaker 2: all over us, but you limit our ability to do 390 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 2: good in the world. It used to be that the 391 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:08,560 Speaker 2: do gooder is the ones who wanted to save the 392 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,720 Speaker 2: whole world were the left, and it used to be 393 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:13,440 Speaker 2: the people on the right. It didn't give a crap 394 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:15,680 Speaker 2: if people were killing one another. And it's some two 395 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 2: remote parts of the world like Africa, that's all changed. 396 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:25,439 Speaker 2: The left doesn't seem to care at all about awful 397 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:27,159 Speaker 2: things going on in the world, because many of the 398 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:29,960 Speaker 2: awful people doing awful things are on their side, the 399 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 2: Venezuelan dictators and drug lords, the Muslim terrorists, the people 400 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:42,040 Speaker 2: practicing genocide in Central Africa. I don't think that the 401 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:44,440 Speaker 2: United States needs to focus all that much on things 402 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:47,359 Speaker 2: that aren't our vital interest. But if we can make 403 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,280 Speaker 2: for a more peaceful world when that also benefits us, 404 00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:53,760 Speaker 2: of course we should do it. You have to use 405 00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:57,440 Speaker 2: what you have, and the United States not using trade. 406 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,280 Speaker 2: It's kind of a bad reference to make because of 407 00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:04,520 Speaker 2: the awful loss of Tucker Craft, but it would have 408 00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:06,280 Speaker 2: been like if the Packers never threw the ball to 409 00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:08,159 Speaker 2: Tucker Craft once they realized he was one of the 410 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 2: great titans. You use what you have. Can I tell 411 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:18,639 Speaker 2: a funny story about this? It's good, it's good. I 412 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,480 Speaker 2: have this really powerful, high minded segment here, and I'm 413 00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:24,720 Speaker 2: just gonna take it straight into the gutter. But that's 414 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,720 Speaker 2: kind of what I'm known for, isn't it. I just 415 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:29,600 Speaker 2: it's just one of the you get every now and 416 00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,600 Speaker 2: then something happens. I mean, I forget everything, you forget 417 00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 2: even more than me. I hope Paul lives next door 418 00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:37,720 Speaker 2: to me in the nursing home. Because A, it means 419 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 2: I've been a good one given the fact that he's 420 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:42,480 Speaker 2: got somehow has managed to a mass, massive amounts of money, 421 00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:44,359 Speaker 2: we would have sitting there and you know, and you 422 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 2: start to lose it as people do you imagine the 423 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,000 Speaker 2: two of us. We aren't gonna have one damn thing right. 424 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:53,480 Speaker 2: We're both gonna know that we were sort of a 425 00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,080 Speaker 2: big deal in radio, but we'll have all the details wrong. 426 00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:58,960 Speaker 2: You're gonna somehow turn it into you were the host 427 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:07,199 Speaker 2: of the show. And and I was like, anyway, this 428 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:08,879 Speaker 2: is back when I was in Madison. I can at 429 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,399 Speaker 2: least place this. I love being able to tell anything 430 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:13,480 Speaker 2: that happened prior to Milwaukee is a good story to 431 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:15,359 Speaker 2: tell because ain't nobody's gonna know who it is. And 432 00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:17,199 Speaker 2: b it means the story so long ago that you 433 00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:19,480 Speaker 2: can't hold it against me. Statue of the limitations is 434 00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:27,359 Speaker 2: read out there was all right, now understand that I'm 435 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:33,919 Speaker 2: right in the age of being you know, frisky. I 436 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:38,200 Speaker 2: was in Madison from eighty six to eighty nine. Madison 437 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:41,240 Speaker 2: was stupid then, but it was not is like there 438 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:43,680 Speaker 2: were tons of attractive women at that time in Madison. 439 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:45,960 Speaker 2: I don't think that there are any now. For example, 440 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,280 Speaker 2: there are also tons of heterosexual women in Madison at 441 00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 2: the time. And remember also my generation, the baby boom, 442 00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,120 Speaker 2: you know, we were you know, it was in that era, 443 00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:00,920 Speaker 2: all right. I was, I was some friends and we 444 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:02,680 Speaker 2: were in one of these But I just I have 445 00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:05,000 Speaker 2: not gone to a happy hour at a bar in decades, 446 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,520 Speaker 2: but I did then, and it was one of those 447 00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:10,280 Speaker 2: places that I could even mention the name of it. 448 00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:13,640 Speaker 2: I might get this. I think it was the Bombay 449 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:15,920 Speaker 2: Bicycle Club in Madison, but they had like a happy 450 00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,280 Speaker 2: hour on Fridays that the place was just mobbed, and 451 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,160 Speaker 2: it was all people of my age, men and women, 452 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:23,040 Speaker 2: and it was it was. It was like a hangout, 453 00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:24,840 Speaker 2: but not a late night hangout. It was an after 454 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 2: It was just what was what it was. I think 455 00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:29,040 Speaker 2: that was the name of the place. I might be wrong, 456 00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:37,919 Speaker 2: but I think that was it. And Okay, you're talking 457 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:39,639 Speaker 2: to people that it's crowded in there and guys are 458 00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:42,679 Speaker 2: talking to women and so on. So I'm talking to 459 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:51,520 Speaker 2: this woman and she's got big boobs. Well, we I 460 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:56,160 Speaker 2: asked throughout. We went on a date not. Nothing happened 461 00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:57,879 Speaker 2: that night. But I then I said, well, you know, 462 00:27:58,160 --> 00:27:59,880 Speaker 2: you do the thing of that was in the days 463 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,480 Speaker 2: which you actually had to get somebody's phone number. You 464 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:05,240 Speaker 2: don't remember those days because you've never dated anybody like 465 00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:07,080 Speaker 2: your first girlfriend, I think was your wife? 466 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:07,480 Speaker 4: Was it it? 467 00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 2: Oh, you have been around while, see you? Well, an 468 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,720 Speaker 2: I never got married. But but you had to get 469 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:15,560 Speaker 2: the phone number. There was no other way to no 470 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,640 Speaker 2: other way to contact. There was no texting or any 471 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:23,879 Speaker 2: of that stuff. So we went out. So I go 472 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:25,560 Speaker 2: to pick her up. That's what we did at the time. 473 00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:27,160 Speaker 2: I don't even think that's what you did. The guy 474 00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:31,119 Speaker 2: would pick up the woman, right, and she's got this 475 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:35,240 Speaker 2: low cut thing on. I remember, I said, she's got 476 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:40,200 Speaker 2: so anyway, hours passed her in the date and I must. 477 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:42,240 Speaker 2: I mean, it's hard not you know. It's like, first 478 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:43,400 Speaker 2: of all, you're on a date with a woman and 479 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:45,040 Speaker 2: she's got big moves and she's got a little cut 480 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:48,080 Speaker 2: thing on. Well, it's just you know, if you look, 481 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:52,040 Speaker 2: you're a latch. On the other hand, but she evidently 482 00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:54,480 Speaker 2: wants you to look, or the thing wouldn't be low cut, right, 483 00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:58,000 Speaker 2: I mean, And it's one thing you know, I try 484 00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 2: to be polite when you're like and regularly, but it's 485 00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:02,880 Speaker 2: a date, so I'm thinking, there's nothing wrong with me 486 00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 2: kind of looking because she said we're on a date. 487 00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:08,160 Speaker 2: So I well, I wasn't peeking. I was looking, and 488 00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:13,160 Speaker 2: I made a cod I just brought it up. And anyway, 489 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,200 Speaker 2: this the whole point of this. It gets back to 490 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:17,400 Speaker 2: this other subject she said. It just stuck with me. 491 00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,480 Speaker 2: She said, Mark, you use what you have. 492 00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:25,760 Speaker 4: There. 493 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:29,040 Speaker 2: She's thinking, big boos, Why would I hate him? I'm 494 00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:32,160 Speaker 2: on the make, I'm a single woman. That's what she's thinking. 495 00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:37,040 Speaker 2: As I recall, she was above average attractive, but I 496 00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:40,640 Speaker 2: mean her general other thing was not equaled by the 497 00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:44,920 Speaker 2: great body that she had. Paul said, Sidney Sweeney said 498 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:46,960 Speaker 2: the same thing this week, and we like her now 499 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,840 Speaker 2: because she's Republican. So anyway, nothing ever came, and there's 500 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:53,320 Speaker 2: nothing bad about the story or anything other than it's 501 00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:55,600 Speaker 2: one of the few times a woman really actually I've 502 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:57,800 Speaker 2: ever heard end basically her joking around and I brought 503 00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:01,080 Speaker 2: it up actually came out. And it's the same thing. 504 00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaker 2: If a woman's got great legs, she's gonna wear a 505 00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:04,880 Speaker 2: short skirt and so on. Use what you have. It 506 00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,760 Speaker 2: was just a common sense answer the chief. And this 507 00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:10,360 Speaker 2: is my point with regard to trade, you use what 508 00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:15,520 Speaker 2: you have. And the incredible success that Trump has had 509 00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:19,560 Speaker 2: in terms of international policies. People grumbling about this, that 510 00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:21,800 Speaker 2: or the other thing, but undeniably the world is a 511 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:23,640 Speaker 2: safer and better place than it was when he came 512 00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,080 Speaker 2: in office nine months ago. And it's because he using 513 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:29,680 Speaker 2: what he has. And that's this whole key on trade 514 00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,080 Speaker 2: and tariffs and the whole thing and being locked into 515 00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:35,320 Speaker 2: your well. Milton Friedman said this and this sad or 516 00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:37,480 Speaker 2: the other thing. We got to use that we have, 517 00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:42,960 Speaker 2: and in the case of these theraffs and Trump's being 518 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,000 Speaker 2: able to use it to avoid war, we're using it 519 00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:50,640 Speaker 2: for good and not for bad. I do run the risk. 520 00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:54,040 Speaker 2: Nobody is gonna remember all of the high minded points 521 00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:57,560 Speaker 2: about how Trump has linked trade policy and war prevention 522 00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:00,560 Speaker 2: and foreign policy into the same thing, because but if 523 00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:03,080 Speaker 2: they remember the moral of the story about the woman 524 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:07,960 Speaker 2: with the well, I don't remember her name. It's been decades. 525 00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:11,800 Speaker 2: I don't remember the line. I think we only went 526 00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:13,560 Speaker 2: on the one time. We didn't, you know, just it 527 00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:15,800 Speaker 2: was just the thing. But I remember that line it 528 00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:18,400 Speaker 2: was just just so act. You know, every now and 529 00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:21,040 Speaker 2: then you'll hear something in which it's just like words 530 00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:24,360 Speaker 2: of wisdom, and everybody should apply that to their own career. 531 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:28,600 Speaker 2: You use what you have, not if it's not if 532 00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:30,640 Speaker 2: you've got it flawned and it's that's a similar thing. 533 00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:32,800 Speaker 2: But you know, in terms of the skills I have 534 00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:34,720 Speaker 2: as a talk show host, some things I'm good at. 535 00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:37,200 Speaker 2: Other things that I'm not good at. The decision that 536 00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:38,960 Speaker 2: you make about what field to go into when you're 537 00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:42,240 Speaker 2: a younger person, use what you have. You have musical ability, 538 00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:44,560 Speaker 2: I don't, so of course you got into a bad 539 00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:47,800 Speaker 2: I wish I had it. I don't. I've got all 540 00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,800 Speaker 2: sorts of analytical powers and I'm extremely intuitive. You use that, 541 00:31:53,000 --> 00:32:01,640 Speaker 2: You use what you have got. One other topic I 542 00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:05,080 Speaker 2: want to cover in this segment. The stock market has 543 00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:09,120 Speaker 2: gotten hinky this week. I made a comment on Monday's 544 00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:11,680 Speaker 2: podcast that I want to reaffirm here. I just and 545 00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:13,600 Speaker 2: I said it last week too. I just think the 546 00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:18,760 Speaker 2: market is frighteningly overvalued. The thing about anything I say 547 00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:21,120 Speaker 2: about the stock market is I always throw in going 548 00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:23,480 Speaker 2: back to that line from Charles Bukowski, filled with doubts 549 00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:24,240 Speaker 2: I might be wrong. 550 00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:25,240 Speaker 4: You know. 551 00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:29,560 Speaker 2: Predicting the stock market's very, very hard, in part because 552 00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:31,640 Speaker 2: the market tends to do the opposite of what most 553 00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:34,080 Speaker 2: people think. And there's the reason for that is fairly obvious. 554 00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:36,760 Speaker 2: If everybody thinks it's going down, that means everybody has 555 00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:39,080 Speaker 2: already sold, Meaning there's nowhere else for it to go 556 00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:42,640 Speaker 2: but up, because if you've all sold everything you're gonna 557 00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:47,440 Speaker 2: have can't go donnity farther. People confuse the stock market 558 00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:50,120 Speaker 2: with the health of the economy. What the market tends 559 00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:53,000 Speaker 2: to do is overreact on the upside of the downside. 560 00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:57,680 Speaker 2: I remember one of I still think it's the first 561 00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:00,920 Speaker 2: time I ever actually kneeled a higher low in the 562 00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,520 Speaker 2: stock market. And I remember when it was. It was 563 00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:05,240 Speaker 2: we were on one of my cruises. It was early 564 00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:07,360 Speaker 2: in Obama, so it was the cruise of two thousand 565 00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:09,520 Speaker 2: and nine. I guess it would have been March depending 566 00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:11,920 Speaker 2: I don't remember where we were, but probably early on, 567 00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:16,320 Speaker 2: and the stock market had fallen apart at the end 568 00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:18,920 Speaker 2: of the bush here I remember the housing crisis and 569 00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:25,000 Speaker 2: so on, and there was a positive economic report in 570 00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:29,160 Speaker 2: which growth had reversed. We had negative growth, negative growth, 571 00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:32,320 Speaker 2: negative growth, and it's a very good report. And I 572 00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:35,440 Speaker 2: remember saying to the group, I think the stock market 573 00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:39,240 Speaker 2: just bottomed out. And it did. The market, as you know, 574 00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:42,440 Speaker 2: rallied extremely during Obama. A lot of it was simply 575 00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:45,320 Speaker 2: everything had over sold. The same I didn't say it 576 00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:48,080 Speaker 2: about housing, but the housing bottomed out as well, and 577 00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:51,400 Speaker 2: that's when the tremendous explosion in housing occurred. The same thing. 578 00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:53,360 Speaker 2: I wasn't smart enough to realize that it would apply 579 00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:56,200 Speaker 2: to housing and everything else, although I did believe that 580 00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:59,600 Speaker 2: housing was grotesquely undervalued. After the housing market. In other words, 581 00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:01,640 Speaker 2: what happened and is the market had gone housing, real 582 00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:04,560 Speaker 2: estate stocks, everything had gone down way more than it 583 00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:06,800 Speaker 2: needed to after the housing market collapsed. And I think 584 00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:09,239 Speaker 2: that what's happened with the dot com thing and so on, 585 00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:13,560 Speaker 2: not dot Com with AI is mirroring what happened with 586 00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:17,279 Speaker 2: dot Com in ninety eight, ninety nine and zero, in 587 00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:20,600 Speaker 2: which the stock market collapsed. They called it the dot 588 00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:23,560 Speaker 2: com bust. And people look back at that and they 589 00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:25,920 Speaker 2: learned the wrong message. It wasn't the dot com that 590 00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:29,040 Speaker 2: the Internet wasn't going to be a big thing. It's 591 00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:32,520 Speaker 2: that the wrong companies got overvalued. We just don't know 592 00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:34,760 Speaker 2: which companies are going to be the ones that become 593 00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:38,040 Speaker 2: the next in Nvidia and Microsoft and Alphabet in AI. 594 00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:40,239 Speaker 2: It might be the ones I just said, or it 595 00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:43,520 Speaker 2: might be others. But in the meantime, the anticipation that 596 00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:45,239 Speaker 2: this is going to be huge has just gotten a 597 00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:51,320 Speaker 2: lot of companies to be overvalued. I think it's dangerous 598 00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:52,800 Speaker 2: for Trump to crow about the stock mark, because I 599 00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:55,600 Speaker 2: think the stock market's going to turn down some indicators, 600 00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:59,960 Speaker 2: gold and bitcoin have really turned downward after roaring ahead 601 00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:02,920 Speaker 2: the last several weeks. I am not one who believes 602 00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:04,759 Speaker 2: that we're headed for a period of inflation. I think 603 00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:08,120 Speaker 2: that the greater threat is that of an economic slow down, 604 00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:10,080 Speaker 2: and I agree with Trump that the FED needs to ease. 605 00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:13,320 Speaker 2: I think that the inflation fears are almost non existent. 606 00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:17,480 Speaker 2: The tariffs haven't caused inflation. The cost of living increase 607 00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:20,200 Speaker 2: now for social securities two point eight percent, that's based 608 00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:23,520 Speaker 2: on the CPI. We've gotten that under control. I think 609 00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:25,239 Speaker 2: that there's going to be a downturn, however, in the 610 00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:27,600 Speaker 2: stock market. My caveat on that is, and I say 611 00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:29,440 Speaker 2: this all the time, I am not an expit of 612 00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:31,880 Speaker 2: the stock market I don't understand technicals and all of 613 00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:35,319 Speaker 2: that stuff, and I might be wrong. I've thought the 614 00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:37,799 Speaker 2: stock market's been overvalued for like eight months and it's 615 00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:41,680 Speaker 2: done nothing but go up. But I do think that 616 00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:44,520 Speaker 2: it's overvalued, and when it's overvalued, it tends to correct 617 00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:47,880 Speaker 2: very very badly. And history tells us that those then 618 00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:50,839 Speaker 2: are spectacular buying opportunities. But I just think there needs 619 00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:53,879 Speaker 2: to be a shakeout. I look at open AI, which 620 00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:57,560 Speaker 2: is on the cutting edge. I just wonder if fifteen 621 00:35:57,640 --> 00:35:59,920 Speaker 2: years from now there's going to be five ten companies 622 00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:02,799 Speaker 2: that are worth trillions of dollars because of AI. I 623 00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:04,640 Speaker 2: just don't know that we know which ones they are. 624 00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:08,440 Speaker 2: And you know, you look back at the dot com thing. 625 00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:19,480 Speaker 2: The big winners were Amazon, Microsoft because of the cloud, Facebook, 626 00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:22,560 Speaker 2: some of the others. But look at the companies that 627 00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:25,400 Speaker 2: were incredibly valuable that went to bust and went zero. 628 00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:30,200 Speaker 2: Sun Microsystems, Yahoo became a nothing, was just bought up. 629 00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:34,479 Speaker 2: Broadcast dot Com the company founded by Cuban. He sold 630 00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:37,560 Speaker 2: it to Yahoo, which then itself got sold. A lot 631 00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:39,719 Speaker 2: of the early on companies that you think are going 632 00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:42,600 Speaker 2: to be the future turnout to be zeros because technological 633 00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:48,880 Speaker 2: advances trump them and make them irrelevant. I think the 634 00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:53,440 Speaker 2: problem here is this, so much of the NASDAQ one 635 00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:56,880 Speaker 2: hundred and the S and P five hundred, the top 636 00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:59,440 Speaker 2: six or seven stocks in the S and P five hundred, 637 00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:01,680 Speaker 2: I think, make more than half the market cap of 638 00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:05,520 Speaker 2: the all other four hundred ninety three stocks combined. So 639 00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:08,000 Speaker 2: if some of those stocks that are high flying correct, 640 00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,359 Speaker 2: all of the market averages go down, even though many 641 00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:13,719 Speaker 2: other companies in the market may do just fine because 642 00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:17,440 Speaker 2: they didn't get to the point of being as overvalued 643 00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:20,239 Speaker 2: as they are. And again I might be wrong about this, 644 00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:23,160 Speaker 2: but the one thing I can tell you about stocks 645 00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:26,520 Speaker 2: based on living for a number of decades is stocks 646 00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:29,640 Speaker 2: go up, and they go down, and whenever people think 647 00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:32,759 Speaker 2: they can't go down, they're guaranteed to go down. The 648 00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:34,600 Speaker 2: one thing about this is I'm not the only guy 649 00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:36,800 Speaker 2: saying this. Zillions of people think the market's going to 650 00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:39,560 Speaker 2: turn down yet, so maybe it is still months away 651 00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:41,720 Speaker 2: and we're not at that point because so many people 652 00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:44,920 Speaker 2: seem to be expecting that that's what's going to occur. 653 00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:47,160 Speaker 2: You have no opinion of what's going to happen with 654 00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:52,640 Speaker 2: the stock market, do you don't you think it's overvalued. Well, 655 00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:55,080 Speaker 2: you say, I bet, I see. I mean, I just remember, 656 00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:58,280 Speaker 2: as younger, a pe of eighteen or nineteen was considered 657 00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:02,200 Speaker 2: fair valuation the eighties nineties one hundred, one hundred and ten. 658 00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:05,319 Speaker 2: Now in part these companies are growing at forty and 659 00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:10,359 Speaker 2: fifty and sixty percent as well, so it would I 660 00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:12,880 Speaker 2: just think there's a lot of overvaluation in there, and 661 00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:20,879 Speaker 2: I think that if there is a correction, it could 662 00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:24,080 Speaker 2: be pretty sharp. I also wonder if we're looking at 663 00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:26,560 Speaker 2: two to three to four years of just kind of 664 00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:29,600 Speaker 2: blog growth in the market, because see the stock market 665 00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:31,799 Speaker 2: looks ahead that all of this growth has occurred, and 666 00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:35,080 Speaker 2: it's going to take corporate earnings years to catch up 667 00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:40,400 Speaker 2: with where some of the valuations are my completely worthless thoughts. 668 00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:43,120 Speaker 2: And again, if you disagree with me, that's just fine. 669 00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:44,879 Speaker 2: I'm just telling you what I think here, and it's 670 00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:48,840 Speaker 2: based on not emotion but my objective view that some 671 00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:52,000 Speaker 2: of these companies I just think. I mean, I've held 672 00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,319 Speaker 2: in Vidia forever and ever and ever I've sold it 673 00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:56,440 Speaker 2: to I just it scares me, right, how I this is. 674 00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:58,280 Speaker 2: You don't want to see a stock go up forever 675 00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:00,719 Speaker 2: and ever and ever and then go down eighty percent 676 00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:03,799 Speaker 2: and you blow everything that you you had. And you know, 677 00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:06,400 Speaker 2: if it does keep going up, okay, you missed output. 678 00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:09,120 Speaker 2: And the other thing is a lot of this depends 679 00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:11,359 Speaker 2: on your view of this, your age, and what your 680 00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:13,600 Speaker 2: time spectrum is. If you're eighty years old, I would 681 00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:16,560 Speaker 2: not want to have ninety percent of my life savings 682 00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:20,000 Speaker 2: in tech stocks, because you need all that cash right now. 683 00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:21,920 Speaker 2: But if you're thirty five, what the hell do you care? 684 00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:23,400 Speaker 2: It's going to go up and down and over the 685 00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:27,320 Speaker 2: long hold, et cetera. This is the Mark Belling podcast. 686 00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:34,560 Speaker 2: This is the Mark Belling Podcast. I found an interesting 687 00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:36,840 Speaker 2: stat here. This is one of those things that I 688 00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:39,480 Speaker 2: think we probably sort of knew, but I've never saw 689 00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:44,800 Speaker 2: it actually put into a number. The median. What's median. 690 00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:47,640 Speaker 2: There's all these things, the media and the mode, the 691 00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:50,160 Speaker 2: average and so on. The median that's right in the middle. 692 00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:54,200 Speaker 2: The median age of first time home buyers in twenty 693 00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:59,480 Speaker 2: twenty five is age forty. It means there were as 694 00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:01,680 Speaker 2: many young than forty as there are over than forty. 695 00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:05,120 Speaker 2: But that's the median age for first time home buyers. 696 00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:12,400 Speaker 2: In nineteen eighty five, it was twenty nine. There's so 697 00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:20,919 Speaker 2: much in that number. The people who were twenty nine 698 00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:24,960 Speaker 2: and nineteen eighty five were baby boomers. Baby Boomers are 699 00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:29,360 Speaker 2: people who they had their lives on the accelerator pedal 700 00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:31,839 Speaker 2: all along. When they were in grade school, they wanted 701 00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:33,279 Speaker 2: to be in high school. When in high school, they 702 00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:35,040 Speaker 2: wanted to either be free or in college. When they 703 00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:36,600 Speaker 2: were in college, they wanted to be out of college, 704 00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:40,919 Speaker 2: and they wanted to be working. The Generation Z's, I think, 705 00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:43,040 Speaker 2: were closer to the Baby Boomers than they were to 706 00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:45,600 Speaker 2: the Millennials, the one after them. The Millennials became the 707 00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:47,640 Speaker 2: generation in which their lies are on the brake pedal. 708 00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:51,080 Speaker 2: They wanted to slow everything down. They didn't want independence, 709 00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:55,400 Speaker 2: they wanted to live with mom and dad. They've not 710 00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:58,640 Speaker 2: wanted to make commitments. And one of the things that 711 00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:03,400 Speaker 2: that's manifested itself in it was this delay in purchasing 712 00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:09,040 Speaker 2: a home. The other component of it is almost every 713 00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:11,120 Speaker 2: baby Boomer that I recall from the twenties, none of 714 00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:13,719 Speaker 2: us had anybody because we were starting to save it 715 00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:16,600 Speaker 2: and we weren't making enough then. Whereas you think of 716 00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:18,520 Speaker 2: the millennials when they were in their twenties, they were 717 00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:20,839 Speaker 2: all going on trips and posting on Facebook, and they're 718 00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:23,400 Speaker 2: at life experiences and all of this stuff that they 719 00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:26,040 Speaker 2: were doing now, so none of them have money for 720 00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:28,759 Speaker 2: a down payment. The price of housing has gone up 721 00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:30,520 Speaker 2: because we're in the middle of a housing boom, and 722 00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:33,600 Speaker 2: so on. But that number, I think explains a lot 723 00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:39,040 Speaker 2: of things. I do think it will go down. I 724 00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:42,400 Speaker 2: think that the Generation z's as a group seemed to 725 00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:46,319 Speaker 2: strike me as a group again, not individually, more of 726 00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:49,560 Speaker 2: them are interested in settling down and having houses and 727 00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:52,160 Speaker 2: so on, And that number will go down a bit 728 00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:54,840 Speaker 2: just because it's gotten so high. I mean, imagine not 729 00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:58,360 Speaker 2: the average person not having a home until they're owning 730 00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:00,759 Speaker 2: a house until each four. It seems to be an 731 00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:02,759 Speaker 2: extremely high number. I'll pull back some, but I don't 732 00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:04,719 Speaker 2: know that I'll ever go back to the days of 733 00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:07,480 Speaker 2: the twenty nine and so on with a simple expectation 734 00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:09,440 Speaker 2: with There's a lot of other things that have changed it. 735 00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:12,080 Speaker 2: In many cities, property taxation and so on have changed 736 00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:15,319 Speaker 2: the equation with regard to home ownership and so on. 737 00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:18,000 Speaker 2: But that number, you can go look at that number 738 00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:21,680 Speaker 2: and take it in any number of different Paul mentions 739 00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:24,240 Speaker 2: both of his daughter's own homes and they're in their twenties. 740 00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:26,880 Speaker 2: Now your family is in real estate. You understand the 741 00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:29,080 Speaker 2: value of it. So I'm just saying they've thought it 742 00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:32,480 Speaker 2: through and they understand the advantage of it, and they 743 00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:35,719 Speaker 2: also understand how you know you can pull this what 744 00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:37,480 Speaker 2: kind of as you did pull it off two or 745 00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:39,680 Speaker 2: three times. Buy a house, sell it for more, get 746 00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:41,319 Speaker 2: a better one, buy itself, sell it for more, and 747 00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:44,680 Speaker 2: it just it becomes that becomes your savings plan rather 748 00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:47,840 Speaker 2: than having to set money aside. I mean, the perfect 749 00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:50,040 Speaker 2: storm is when you buy a house, you have a 750 00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:52,880 Speaker 2: place to live in and it goes up in value, 751 00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:56,719 Speaker 2: so you're actually earning money by living somewhere, where as 752 00:42:56,719 --> 00:42:58,880 Speaker 2: opposed to rent, where you're paying money out and you 753 00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:03,120 Speaker 2: have no for whatsoever. I like I say, I just 754 00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:05,799 Speaker 2: think the Millennials were an anomaly generation in which their 755 00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:09,120 Speaker 2: priorities were different in it's almost entirely the result of 756 00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:14,760 Speaker 2: baby boomers overly protecting them and mothering them and creating 757 00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:16,719 Speaker 2: a generation. And I just think it was it's in 758 00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:18,920 Speaker 2: reaction to the way we baby boomers were. We all 759 00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:21,120 Speaker 2: wanted to get into the world. The older the baby 760 00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:23,640 Speaker 2: boomers were sent off to Vietnam. They had no choice 761 00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:25,160 Speaker 2: but to get into the world. The rest of us 762 00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:28,399 Speaker 2: just wanted our independence and rock and roll and sex 763 00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:31,560 Speaker 2: and love and all of that stuff. And perhaps we 764 00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:34,200 Speaker 2: looked upon our kids, and I didn't have kids, but 765 00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:36,680 Speaker 2: the baby was looked upon their kids. Is they wanted 766 00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:38,799 Speaker 2: them to be more dependent on mom and dad. End 767 00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:45,520 Speaker 2: it just became the opposite thing. Not exactly related, but 768 00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:49,279 Speaker 2: an interesting little anecdote here. Found this on one of 769 00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:52,279 Speaker 2: my news aggregated sites. It's from a post on the web. Well, 770 00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:56,440 Speaker 2: this whole discussion of the Snap Benefits food stamp program 771 00:43:57,040 --> 00:43:59,680 Speaker 2: being cut off or slowed down because the government shut down. 772 00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:02,480 Speaker 2: A woman from New Mexico admits to being on Snap 773 00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:05,839 Speaker 2: benefits for over thirty years. She says that delays our 774 00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:08,479 Speaker 2: quote detrimental to her life if she doesn't get them. 775 00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:11,840 Speaker 2: When I heard zero dollars, my chest went into my throat. 776 00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:15,040 Speaker 2: I have depended on those benefits since the nineteen nineties. 777 00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:25,120 Speaker 2: That's the problem. The welfare state went awry when we 778 00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:32,200 Speaker 2: made it long term sustainable. When we created all of 779 00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:35,000 Speaker 2: these programs, they were supposed to be lifelines for people 780 00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:39,839 Speaker 2: who had fallen on hard times. If somebody has been 781 00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:43,520 Speaker 2: on enough government assistance programs, food stamps, and all of 782 00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:46,799 Speaker 2: the others that are out there that that has been 783 00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:50,879 Speaker 2: their entire life. By definition, they're too high and we've 784 00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:54,520 Speaker 2: done them no favors. Now, obviously there are unique circumstances. 785 00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:57,440 Speaker 2: Some people have a physical disability, others have mental issues, 786 00:44:57,480 --> 00:45:01,320 Speaker 2: the drugs and so on. But if you're otherwise generally 787 00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:03,680 Speaker 2: able bodied and you spent your entire life on an 788 00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:09,440 Speaker 2: assistance program, we haven't done you any favors. By essentially 789 00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:13,880 Speaker 2: letting you waste your entire life, it never make an 790 00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:19,000 Speaker 2: effort to really improve what's going on with you. I'm 791 00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:22,400 Speaker 2: guessing that that number of people who've been on SNAP 792 00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:24,000 Speaker 2: or food stamps, whatever you want to call it, for 793 00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:30,279 Speaker 2: three decades is a larger number than many may be 794 00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:37,040 Speaker 2: aware of. And now this libs of TikTok is actually 795 00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:40,640 Speaker 2: a conservative site that posts on the internet. So woman 796 00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:43,200 Speaker 2: that does it, she's very very good, she knows an 797 00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:46,840 Speaker 2: entire staff. They have a huge following. They monetized it. 798 00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:49,560 Speaker 2: What they do is they run around and scour era 799 00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:53,719 Speaker 2: for examples of liberal idiocy, and they found this one. 800 00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:58,720 Speaker 2: There's a course being taught at the University of Maryland. 801 00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:01,600 Speaker 2: This is one of those deals that could I used 802 00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:03,160 Speaker 2: to do up and on the radio show and bring 803 00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:05,600 Speaker 2: something up, and then I'd ask, am I making this up? 804 00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:09,160 Speaker 2: Or is it true? And you could always There are 805 00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:11,040 Speaker 2: so many things that are crazy that you can all 806 00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:13,440 Speaker 2: now almost make anything up and people would think that 807 00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:16,560 Speaker 2: it is true. This one, however, is true. Here's the 808 00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:20,880 Speaker 2: title of the class at the University of Maryland, intro 809 00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:30,080 Speaker 2: to fat Studies, Fatness, Blackness and their Intersections. You don't 810 00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:34,800 Speaker 2: think that this was racist, that it's an actual teacher, 811 00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:38,319 Speaker 2: it's a lefty and the store and the course. It's 812 00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:44,600 Speaker 2: an actual academic course into I'll quote again, Fatness, Blackness 813 00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:47,920 Speaker 2: and their Intersections. Now it sounds as though this is 814 00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:50,160 Speaker 2: a course about why are black people fat? And that 815 00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:52,440 Speaker 2: seems to be what they're saying. Well, we have the 816 00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:57,920 Speaker 2: course description. The course description reads like a parody someone 817 00:46:57,960 --> 00:47:01,839 Speaker 2: would write to mock academia, except it's real and taxpayer 818 00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:08,600 Speaker 2: funded for liberation as a social justice movement. The teacher 819 00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:12,720 Speaker 2: of the course is Sidney Lewis, a self described LGBTQ 820 00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:19,319 Speaker 2: black liberation activist. For those of you who have any 821 00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:24,160 Speaker 2: doubt that a college education is inappropriate for any number 822 00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:27,600 Speaker 2: of people, and much, not all, of what is being 823 00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:30,799 Speaker 2: taught in college is a waste of money. That course 824 00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:32,640 Speaker 2: is an example. Now people on left keep saying, you 825 00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:34,600 Speaker 2: cherry picked this out and you find this example. Well, 826 00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:36,920 Speaker 2: of course for cherry picking out and finding that example, 827 00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:39,160 Speaker 2: But that example is there, and this is not some 828 00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:43,600 Speaker 2: excuse the University of Maryland. They're hiring some quack who's 829 00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:46,239 Speaker 2: going out and teaching crap like this, for passing it 830 00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:50,320 Speaker 2: off as education. Now in there somewhere, there's actually a 831 00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:56,080 Speaker 2: legitimate area of inquiry. The health problems that African Americans 832 00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:58,239 Speaker 2: have because of poor diet and so on. A lot 833 00:47:58,239 --> 00:48:00,759 Speaker 2: of the things that Kennedy Junior has been pushing with 834 00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:03,799 Speaker 2: the MAHA movement, that we're eating so much stuff that 835 00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:06,080 Speaker 2: ends up with us sick and have poor quality of 836 00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:08,400 Speaker 2: life and so on, they're legitimate areas of study that 837 00:48:08,440 --> 00:48:10,480 Speaker 2: are in there. But I'm sure that she's not looking 838 00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:12,880 Speaker 2: into any of those things whatsoever. I'm sure in the 839 00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:14,600 Speaker 2: end the conclusion of all of this is going to 840 00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:18,040 Speaker 2: have something to do with racism and the terribly unjust 841 00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:22,200 Speaker 2: society that we all live in. This is the Markdelling Podcast. 842 00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:29,120 Speaker 2: This is the Mark Belling Podcast and it's time for 843 00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:32,880 Speaker 2: the Mark Belling Weekly football preview and some point spread picks, 844 00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:35,280 Speaker 2: and as always, were joined by Mike Murlett off American 845 00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:40,480 Speaker 2: Sports Analysts and Madison ASA wins dot com. We're getting 846 00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:43,120 Speaker 2: into the important part of the college football season and 847 00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:47,279 Speaker 2: kind of the hard to figure out middle part of 848 00:48:47,320 --> 00:48:50,399 Speaker 2: the NFL season. Anything you'd like to share about what's 849 00:48:50,440 --> 00:48:54,320 Speaker 2: going on this weekend at ASA, Mike, and I'll remind 850 00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:57,320 Speaker 2: you that tough our podcast is airing on Thursday. 851 00:48:58,320 --> 00:49:02,160 Speaker 3: Yep, same as usual. Check our website ASA wins dot 852 00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:05,960 Speaker 3: com on Friday for anything we've got going on. Well, 853 00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:07,600 Speaker 3: if we have a top game in college we'll have 854 00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:10,759 Speaker 3: it up at that point and weekend stuff. And we're 855 00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:12,960 Speaker 3: coming off back to back bad weekends. I'll be honest. 856 00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:16,800 Speaker 3: We had a good season, going weeks have not been good. Yeah, 857 00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:19,160 Speaker 3: I mean I lost my tick on the air, and 858 00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:21,080 Speaker 3: it wouldn't have mattered what pick I took, all three 859 00:49:21,120 --> 00:49:22,600 Speaker 3: of them that I considered lost. So it was one 860 00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:24,279 Speaker 3: of those weekends. I think we'll bounce back and have 861 00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:25,320 Speaker 3: a good weekend this weekend. 862 00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:28,279 Speaker 2: I had the same result with my own picks. I 863 00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:30,440 Speaker 2: could have gone through my top twenty seven picks, and 864 00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:32,600 Speaker 2: I think it would have been wrong out all of them. Anyway, 865 00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:35,680 Speaker 2: It's a very interesting weekend and both college and pro football, 866 00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:39,560 Speaker 2: and I want to preview three separate games in college football. 867 00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:44,160 Speaker 2: They're all interesting for different reasons. The first one, this 868 00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:47,839 Speaker 2: is a fascinating game to me. You have two teams here, 869 00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:52,799 Speaker 2: one is unbeaten and the other has only lost one game. 870 00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:55,440 Speaker 2: And I don't think anybody would have talked about them 871 00:49:55,560 --> 00:49:59,200 Speaker 2: as being national championship contenders or even playoff teams before 872 00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:04,640 Speaker 2: the beginning of the BYU is playing Texas Tech. The 873 00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:09,279 Speaker 2: games in the Big twelve. BYU is unbeaten, Texas Tech 874 00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:12,239 Speaker 2: has only one loss, and you have a curious situation here. 875 00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:15,400 Speaker 2: We're not early of the season. BYU's played eight games, 876 00:50:15,480 --> 00:50:20,719 Speaker 2: they're unbeaten, but they're a ten point underdog. And you 877 00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:24,160 Speaker 2: can't say, well, BYU's unbeaten because they've had a crappy schedule. 878 00:50:24,480 --> 00:50:28,240 Speaker 2: They beat Utah, and Utah is really good. They've played 879 00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:30,920 Speaker 2: some pretty good teams. Texas Tech, on the other hand, 880 00:50:31,360 --> 00:50:34,080 Speaker 2: is probably the most controversial team in college football. It's 881 00:50:34,080 --> 00:50:37,279 Speaker 2: a team that's just built on massive nil money and 882 00:50:37,360 --> 00:50:41,040 Speaker 2: it's worked interesting matchup and Texas Tech at home favored 883 00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:42,800 Speaker 2: by a lot. What do you think about that game? 884 00:50:43,320 --> 00:50:45,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean there's a reason that Tech's favored. You 885 00:50:45,400 --> 00:50:49,320 Speaker 3: mentioned Utah BYU beat Utah at home by three. Got 886 00:50:49,320 --> 00:50:51,719 Speaker 3: all gained by you. Tech beat Utah by twenty five 887 00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:55,680 Speaker 3: points at Utah. I mean Tech would win the national championship. 888 00:50:56,080 --> 00:51:00,839 Speaker 3: Their one loss was at Arizona State by four. Tech 889 00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:04,160 Speaker 3: was missing their starting quarterback and Arizona State had to 890 00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:07,200 Speaker 3: score with thirty seconds left to win that game. You 891 00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:09,920 Speaker 3: saw what played out last week against Kansas HUT. 892 00:51:09,880 --> 00:51:12,920 Speaker 2: I used my radio pick last week to go against 893 00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:15,920 Speaker 2: Texas Tech. They were a seven point favorite and his 894 00:51:16,080 --> 00:51:20,120 Speaker 2: terrible peck. Texas Tech destroyed a pretty good Kansas State team. 895 00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:23,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, and Kansas State was peaking. They're playing really well. 896 00:51:23,080 --> 00:51:24,719 Speaker 3: I agreed one hundred percent with your pick, and I 897 00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:26,880 Speaker 3: watched the game and there was no comparison between those 898 00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:30,680 Speaker 3: two teams you mentioned BYU is eight. No, they're coming 899 00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:32,280 Speaker 3: off a buye, which is a good situation. 900 00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:34,680 Speaker 2: They have a great coach too. 901 00:51:35,280 --> 00:51:37,840 Speaker 3: They do have a great coach, they really do, but 902 00:51:37,880 --> 00:51:39,320 Speaker 3: they haven't been great on the road. I mean to 903 00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:43,080 Speaker 3: beat Colorado by three, who's bad Colorado. 904 00:51:43,360 --> 00:51:46,319 Speaker 2: By the way, the Sanders thing, the verdict is. 905 00:51:46,360 --> 00:51:48,200 Speaker 3: It that it has failed. 906 00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:51,239 Speaker 2: I mean, Dion Sanders did one thing at Colorado. He 907 00:51:51,280 --> 00:51:53,959 Speaker 2: brought his son and he brought Travis Hunter there. They're 908 00:51:53,960 --> 00:51:57,719 Speaker 2: both gone. Colorado's gone and Dion's going to be gone. 909 00:51:57,760 --> 00:51:59,800 Speaker 2: I don't even know what his buyout it is. It 910 00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:03,000 Speaker 2: has to be pretty big. But in Colorado, well, you know, 911 00:52:03,040 --> 00:52:05,279 Speaker 2: they were terrible before he got there. But boy, has 912 00:52:05,320 --> 00:52:07,239 Speaker 2: that just fallen apart. It's in a side but. 913 00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:10,879 Speaker 3: Anyway, yeah, no, I agree, it's falling apart fast after one, 914 00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:14,319 Speaker 3: one or two years. So but yeah, YU struggled down 915 00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:16,680 Speaker 3: the road this year. Again they beat Arizona and overtime, 916 00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:18,160 Speaker 3: but they had that they were down ten with like 917 00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:20,800 Speaker 3: four minutes to go in that game, so they've struggled 918 00:52:20,800 --> 00:52:22,840 Speaker 3: a little bit on the road. I think Text definitely 919 00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:24,879 Speaker 3: the better team and that's why that's why they're laying 920 00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:27,600 Speaker 3: ten in this game. I've had other people asking, how 921 00:52:27,680 --> 00:52:30,760 Speaker 3: can how can a top ten team that's undefeated beginning 922 00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:33,440 Speaker 3: ten points and you know, Text the better team here, 923 00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:34,600 Speaker 3: and that's why they're favored by ten. 924 00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:38,319 Speaker 2: Let's go to another very interesting game. It's another game 925 00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:43,960 Speaker 2: involving an unbeaten team. Texas A and M is playing Missouri. 926 00:52:44,520 --> 00:52:47,080 Speaker 2: Texas A and M largely because they made a great 927 00:52:47,160 --> 00:52:50,560 Speaker 2: hire with their head coach a few years ago. They're unbeaten. 928 00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:54,200 Speaker 2: Missouri is six and two, but a good six and two. 929 00:52:54,280 --> 00:52:57,560 Speaker 2: Their losses were against tough teams. They're both teams that 930 00:52:57,600 --> 00:53:00,120 Speaker 2: are playing in the SEC. It's hard to imagine in 931 00:53:00,120 --> 00:53:02,600 Speaker 2: the Texas A and M and Missouri are in the SEC, 932 00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:05,920 Speaker 2: but they're there. The game is at Missouri. Texas A 933 00:53:06,040 --> 00:53:08,080 Speaker 2: and M is favored by a touchdown, and I think 934 00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:12,480 Speaker 2: that that's largely because Missouri's quarterback is hurt and out 935 00:53:12,520 --> 00:53:15,840 Speaker 2: for the game. I sniff an upset here and I 936 00:53:15,880 --> 00:53:19,319 Speaker 2: think Missouri can win the game. But here again a 937 00:53:19,440 --> 00:53:21,400 Speaker 2: larger line than you think. Texas A and M on 938 00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:24,680 Speaker 2: the road is favored by seven points. What do you think, Mike? 939 00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:27,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, the tough part to handicap in this game. You 940 00:53:27,880 --> 00:53:31,359 Speaker 3: talked about it. Missouri's quarterback is out, so and their 941 00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:33,279 Speaker 3: second string quarterbacks out, so they're not on a third 942 00:53:33,320 --> 00:53:34,040 Speaker 3: string quarterback. 943 00:53:34,440 --> 00:53:37,120 Speaker 2: But he did play against Vanderbilt and didn't play bad. 944 00:53:37,480 --> 00:53:39,560 Speaker 3: He didn't play bad, but he's a true freshman it's 945 00:53:39,560 --> 00:53:40,200 Speaker 3: his first start. 946 00:53:40,880 --> 00:53:42,840 Speaker 2: I don't Texas A and M's head coach is a 947 00:53:42,920 --> 00:53:46,840 Speaker 2: defensive coordinator with a defensive background. I'm sure he relishes that. 948 00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:49,960 Speaker 2: But Missouri's at home, and Missouri's got a chance for 949 00:53:51,120 --> 00:53:53,640 Speaker 2: a big upset. And you know, Texas A and M's 950 00:53:53,640 --> 00:53:55,560 Speaker 2: got a target on their back now every week because 951 00:53:55,600 --> 00:53:59,600 Speaker 2: they're an unbeaten team, and everybody focuses on the unbeaten team. 952 00:54:00,320 --> 00:54:03,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, and Missouri is good. I mean they're good. I 953 00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:05,200 Speaker 3: just don't know how they're gonna play with this quarterback. 954 00:54:05,320 --> 00:54:08,759 Speaker 3: We'll see what happens, and might might be the best 955 00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:11,239 Speaker 3: team in the SEC right now. I mean everyone talks 956 00:54:11,239 --> 00:54:13,520 Speaker 3: about Georgia and Alabama and those type of teams that 957 00:54:13,920 --> 00:54:15,960 Speaker 3: you got to remember. A and M beat Notre Dame 958 00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:18,800 Speaker 3: on the road, good win. They beat LSU by twenty 959 00:54:18,800 --> 00:54:21,080 Speaker 3: four points on the road. And while LSU isn't great, 960 00:54:21,200 --> 00:54:24,200 Speaker 3: they're pretty darn good and they killed LSU. You talked 961 00:54:24,200 --> 00:54:27,759 Speaker 3: about Elko. Their coach came over from Duke. When he 962 00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:30,319 Speaker 3: took over at Duke the two previous years they were 963 00:54:30,400 --> 00:54:33,319 Speaker 3: five and eighteen, and he turned to around and head 964 00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:35,600 Speaker 3: back to back winning season sixteen and seven in two 965 00:54:35,640 --> 00:54:39,400 Speaker 3: years at Duke. He's really good. Missouri has much better number. 966 00:54:39,440 --> 00:54:40,360 Speaker 2: It has the better. 967 00:54:40,239 --> 00:54:42,760 Speaker 3: Numbers in this game, but they played the much weaker schedule. 968 00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:45,680 Speaker 3: They're the only team in the SEC that's who strengths 969 00:54:45,680 --> 00:54:48,920 Speaker 3: the schedules outside the top twenty five. It'll be an 970 00:54:48,960 --> 00:54:52,719 Speaker 3: interesting game. With Missouri's freshman quarterback plays well, they can 971 00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:53,760 Speaker 3: definitely win that game. 972 00:54:54,600 --> 00:54:58,800 Speaker 2: Wisconsin comes off the by after finally playing a decent 973 00:54:58,880 --> 00:55:01,680 Speaker 2: enough game defensive, at least when they played very, very 974 00:55:01,719 --> 00:55:05,720 Speaker 2: tough against Oregon. The offense has been non existent all season. 975 00:55:06,120 --> 00:55:08,480 Speaker 2: They come home and again it Wisconsin just plays a 976 00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:11,520 Speaker 2: strong team every week they play Washington, and while Washington's 977 00:55:11,560 --> 00:55:14,480 Speaker 2: a strong team, they're actually not as good as the 978 00:55:14,600 --> 00:55:19,360 Speaker 2: last three teams Wisconsin has played. The line is not 979 00:55:19,560 --> 00:55:21,719 Speaker 2: calling for a blow out. I believe it's Washington by 980 00:55:21,760 --> 00:55:26,319 Speaker 2: about eleven or twelve points at Wisconsin. Wisconsin is off 981 00:55:26,360 --> 00:55:28,960 Speaker 2: to buy a chance to physically recover a little bit. 982 00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:32,240 Speaker 2: But you know the problem is Wisconsin just can't score. 983 00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:34,360 Speaker 2: What are your thoughts on Washington and Wisconsin. 984 00:55:35,120 --> 00:55:38,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, first to quick you mentioned Washington's favored by eleven 985 00:55:38,640 --> 00:55:40,680 Speaker 3: eleven and a half in this game. Just a quick 986 00:55:40,719 --> 00:55:44,320 Speaker 3: note on that. So Wisconsin has now been a double 987 00:55:44,320 --> 00:55:48,120 Speaker 3: digit home underdog five times in the last sixteen home games, 988 00:55:48,680 --> 00:55:50,640 Speaker 3: so that dates back to the middle of the twenty 989 00:55:50,680 --> 00:55:54,200 Speaker 3: twenty three season. Prior to that, from nineteen ninety seven 990 00:55:54,600 --> 00:55:56,520 Speaker 3: to the middle of twenty twenty three, they were a 991 00:55:56,520 --> 00:55:59,279 Speaker 3: home dog of more than ten one time, and they've 992 00:55:59,320 --> 00:56:01,400 Speaker 3: been five times in the last sixteen home games. So 993 00:56:01,480 --> 00:56:04,799 Speaker 3: that's that shows how quickly they've fallen fallen off the 994 00:56:04,840 --> 00:56:08,879 Speaker 3: map unfortunately. But you mentioned Washington's a top twenty five team. 995 00:56:09,120 --> 00:56:11,520 Speaker 3: They're fringe. I don't think they're top twenty five team. 996 00:56:11,560 --> 00:56:13,840 Speaker 3: They're not great on the road. They're one in six 997 00:56:13,920 --> 00:56:16,200 Speaker 3: on the road in the Big Ten since joining last year. 998 00:56:16,200 --> 00:56:19,000 Speaker 3: Their one win was this year against Maryland by four, 999 00:56:19,040 --> 00:56:21,240 Speaker 3: and they were losing twenty to zero in that game. 1000 00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:24,880 Speaker 3: The problem is, like you said, Wisconsin, in order to 1001 00:56:24,920 --> 00:56:28,000 Speaker 3: score against Washington, you need to pass. They don't have 1002 00:56:28,040 --> 00:56:31,080 Speaker 3: a good pass defense. Wisconsin hasn't passed for one hundred 1003 00:56:31,160 --> 00:56:33,880 Speaker 3: yards in over a month. I mean, they they're going 1004 00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:37,720 Speaker 3: to start O'Neal in this game. Sounds like and Smith, 1005 00:56:37,760 --> 00:56:41,239 Speaker 3: their freshman's going to get some time too. They need 1006 00:56:41,280 --> 00:56:42,960 Speaker 3: to put up some points. You can't rely on the 1007 00:56:43,040 --> 00:56:45,320 Speaker 3: defense to hold teams to fourteen or lest have a 1008 00:56:45,400 --> 00:56:47,960 Speaker 3: chance to win. Eventually, they're going to break. They need 1009 00:56:47,960 --> 00:56:49,279 Speaker 3: to find a way to get some points, and I 1010 00:56:49,320 --> 00:56:50,279 Speaker 3: don't know if they can do it. 1011 00:56:50,680 --> 00:56:55,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, Washington's had some of their games. They pounded Illinois 1012 00:56:55,840 --> 00:56:59,360 Speaker 2: game that surprised me. They're good at all, by seventeen 1013 00:56:59,400 --> 00:57:01,640 Speaker 2: point two to twenty five, but the week before they 1014 00:57:01,640 --> 00:57:04,359 Speaker 2: put up only seven against Michigan. And as you're right, 1015 00:57:04,640 --> 00:57:06,720 Speaker 2: they're a schizoig team in which they seem to play 1016 00:57:07,280 --> 00:57:10,000 Speaker 2: better at home, I mean each week. And I was 1017 00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:13,120 Speaker 2: certainly wrong last week when I two weeks ago when 1018 00:57:13,120 --> 00:57:15,839 Speaker 2: I thought Oregon would kill Wisconsin each week. I look 1019 00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:17,760 Speaker 2: at the Wisconsin spread and I expect them to be 1020 00:57:17,880 --> 00:57:20,320 Speaker 2: more of an underdog than they are. And I thought 1021 00:57:20,400 --> 00:57:23,000 Speaker 2: the same thing in looking at the line here. On 1022 00:57:23,040 --> 00:57:26,800 Speaker 2: the other hand, Wisconsin's defense is just playing I think, 1023 00:57:26,880 --> 00:57:30,760 Speaker 2: spectacularly well when you consider the pressure that is on 1024 00:57:30,840 --> 00:57:34,600 Speaker 2: them and being on the field constantly because the offense 1025 00:57:34,920 --> 00:57:38,160 Speaker 2: isn't moving the ball. And you know anything about football, 1026 00:57:38,240 --> 00:57:40,160 Speaker 2: if you have a it's like hockey. If you have 1027 00:57:40,200 --> 00:57:42,520 Speaker 2: a great goalie, you have a chance no matter how 1028 00:57:42,520 --> 00:57:44,120 Speaker 2: bad the rest of the team is in football. If 1029 00:57:44,120 --> 00:57:46,480 Speaker 2: your defense is outstanding, I guess you have a chance. 1030 00:57:46,560 --> 00:57:49,160 Speaker 2: Let's turn our attention to the NFL and I only 1031 00:57:49,160 --> 00:57:51,080 Speaker 2: want to discuss one game this week, and that's the 1032 00:57:51,120 --> 00:57:53,720 Speaker 2: Packers and the Eagles, one of the marquee games of 1033 00:57:53,760 --> 00:57:56,600 Speaker 2: the weekend. First, starting before we get to the game itself, 1034 00:57:57,520 --> 00:57:59,800 Speaker 2: the Packers we talked about last week just being a 1035 00:58:00,120 --> 00:58:02,400 Speaker 2: hard team to get a feel for because they've looked 1036 00:58:02,440 --> 00:58:06,800 Speaker 2: both good and bad. I think the Tucker Craft injury 1037 00:58:07,640 --> 00:58:12,160 Speaker 2: is devastating. I think he is the best tight end 1038 00:58:12,160 --> 00:58:15,400 Speaker 2: in the NFL or was this year. Without him, the 1039 00:58:15,440 --> 00:58:18,240 Speaker 2: passing game is I think going to suffer. I think 1040 00:58:18,280 --> 00:58:21,440 Speaker 2: it's a massive loss for the team. In addition to that, 1041 00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:25,440 Speaker 2: the Packers made no trades at the trading deadline this week. 1042 00:58:25,720 --> 00:58:29,080 Speaker 2: They didn't address the cornerback problem, which has gotten even worse. 1043 00:58:29,160 --> 00:58:31,560 Speaker 2: Nate Hobbs, who was having a terrible season, is now 1044 00:58:31,640 --> 00:58:34,800 Speaker 2: out probably for most of the year. He has not 1045 00:58:34,880 --> 00:58:37,800 Speaker 2: an ACL, it's the other one with the MCL he's 1046 00:58:37,840 --> 00:58:42,760 Speaker 2: having surgery on that. The cornerback position's been bad. The 1047 00:58:42,800 --> 00:58:46,200 Speaker 2: Packers made no moves whatsoever. Before we get to the game, 1048 00:58:46,280 --> 00:58:48,600 Speaker 2: ILF MIC They're still in first place, but boy, they 1049 00:58:48,640 --> 00:58:50,680 Speaker 2: don't look like a first place team to be. What 1050 00:58:50,680 --> 00:58:52,960 Speaker 2: are your thoughts on Green Bay before we discuss how 1051 00:58:52,960 --> 00:58:55,920 Speaker 2: they match up against Philadelphia there. 1052 00:58:57,640 --> 00:58:59,520 Speaker 3: As you said last week, they're kind of all over 1053 00:58:59,560 --> 00:59:03,120 Speaker 3: the board. They're a hard team to handicap. They lose 1054 00:59:03,240 --> 00:59:06,600 Speaker 3: to Cleveland, they lose to Caroline as almost a two 1055 00:59:06,640 --> 00:59:10,280 Speaker 3: touchdown favorite. And you know, they beat Detroit early in 1056 00:59:10,320 --> 00:59:12,560 Speaker 3: the season. They beat Washington, which we thought was a 1057 00:59:12,600 --> 00:59:15,360 Speaker 3: really good win, but you know, it's not not great 1058 00:59:15,400 --> 00:59:17,640 Speaker 3: this year. But they beat Pittsburgh on the road, which 1059 00:59:17,680 --> 00:59:19,720 Speaker 3: is hard to do, and they handled them pretty. They're 1060 00:59:19,800 --> 00:59:22,400 Speaker 3: they're all over the board. They're a hard team to handicap. 1061 00:59:22,560 --> 00:59:24,360 Speaker 3: I think Craft is a huge loss as well. I 1062 00:59:24,360 --> 00:59:26,720 Speaker 3: mean it's like losing that'd be like Kansas City losing 1063 00:59:26,800 --> 00:59:28,720 Speaker 3: kelsere who you know, He's. 1064 00:59:28,800 --> 00:59:30,400 Speaker 2: Like losing Kelsey and his prime. 1065 00:59:31,480 --> 00:59:32,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I think. 1066 00:59:32,760 --> 00:59:34,960 Speaker 2: Kansas City could handle the loss of Kelsey now, but 1067 00:59:35,280 --> 00:59:38,320 Speaker 2: imagine if they had lost them. If you just a 1068 00:59:38,440 --> 00:59:42,400 Speaker 2: brilliant tight end, most tight ends, eh, doesn't make much 1069 00:59:42,440 --> 00:59:46,360 Speaker 2: of a difference. A brilliant tight end changes an offense. 1070 00:59:46,480 --> 00:59:49,040 Speaker 2: And the thing with Craft is he always got open, 1071 00:59:49,320 --> 00:59:51,520 Speaker 2: and it always run for ten yards after each catch 1072 00:59:51,560 --> 00:59:54,760 Speaker 2: and just extended things and it puts tremendous pressure on 1073 00:59:54,800 --> 00:59:57,240 Speaker 2: the defense. Now it's going to be a test to 1074 00:59:57,280 --> 00:59:59,800 Speaker 2: see whether or not Luke Uscape could a stay healthy 1075 00:59:59,840 --> 01:00:02,880 Speaker 2: and be step up. He has played better, but now 1076 01:00:02,920 --> 01:00:04,680 Speaker 2: he's in the featured role as the tight end. But 1077 01:00:05,800 --> 01:00:08,880 Speaker 2: it's quite a lost. Paul mentions Fitzpatrick the other tight end, 1078 01:00:08,880 --> 01:00:11,520 Speaker 2: But I mean, this is the drop off is enormous. Now, 1079 01:00:11,560 --> 01:00:13,600 Speaker 2: let's get to the game between the Packers and the Eagles. 1080 01:00:13,640 --> 01:00:17,200 Speaker 2: It's in green Bay, National Game at night. The whole thing. 1081 01:00:17,720 --> 01:00:20,520 Speaker 2: The Eagles are another team a lot of teams like 1082 01:00:20,560 --> 01:00:22,800 Speaker 2: this in the NFL this year. The Eagles are another 1083 01:00:22,840 --> 01:00:25,880 Speaker 2: team that's really hard to get a redot. Green Bay 1084 01:00:25,960 --> 01:00:30,480 Speaker 2: is actually favored in the game against Philadelphia, and I 1085 01:00:30,480 --> 01:00:33,400 Speaker 2: think that's as much because people don't have a strong 1086 01:00:33,480 --> 01:00:35,920 Speaker 2: feel for whether or not the Eagles are a Super 1087 01:00:35,920 --> 01:00:39,040 Speaker 2: Bowl type team again or not. What are your thoughts 1088 01:00:39,040 --> 01:00:39,479 Speaker 2: in the game. 1089 01:00:40,480 --> 01:00:42,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, First of all, if you look at these two teams, 1090 01:00:42,360 --> 01:00:44,520 Speaker 3: they're the only two teams in the NFL that have 1091 01:00:44,560 --> 01:00:45,680 Speaker 3: been favored in every game. 1092 01:00:46,160 --> 01:00:46,320 Speaker 4: Now. 1093 01:00:46,360 --> 01:00:48,000 Speaker 3: Green Bay is the only team that's been favored in 1094 01:00:48,040 --> 01:00:52,880 Speaker 3: every game. So let's quick look last week, you just 1095 01:00:52,920 --> 01:00:55,360 Speaker 3: can't lose that game against Carolina. It's different if you 1096 01:00:55,400 --> 01:00:57,560 Speaker 3: get out played at home, and you look at the 1097 01:00:57,560 --> 01:01:01,080 Speaker 3: stats and Green Bay didn't punt, they scored thirteen points. 1098 01:01:01,120 --> 01:01:05,120 Speaker 3: They outgain Carolina by one yard per play, which is 1099 01:01:05,120 --> 01:01:08,000 Speaker 3: pretty dramatic, and you can't lose that game at home. 1100 01:01:08,280 --> 01:01:09,720 Speaker 3: You have to find a way to win that game 1101 01:01:09,760 --> 01:01:12,200 Speaker 3: at home in this situation. But the good thing for. 1102 01:01:12,160 --> 01:01:14,600 Speaker 2: The past one thing I will say, and I made 1103 01:01:14,600 --> 01:01:17,800 Speaker 2: a comment last week we're discussing Carolina is always bad, 1104 01:01:17,880 --> 01:01:22,400 Speaker 2: and I retract that Carolina's now won four or five games, 1105 01:01:22,440 --> 01:01:26,120 Speaker 2: and they're better than I thought that they were. They're 1106 01:01:26,160 --> 01:01:29,320 Speaker 2: just everything in the NFC South forever to me has 1107 01:01:29,360 --> 01:01:33,440 Speaker 2: seemed terrible, And I guess I need to acknowledge that 1108 01:01:33,560 --> 01:01:37,680 Speaker 2: Tampa Bay this year is very good, and Carolina is 1109 01:01:37,720 --> 01:01:42,040 Speaker 2: pretty good. Atlanta, who I thought would be very good, stinks, 1110 01:01:42,480 --> 01:01:44,000 Speaker 2: and New Orleans might be the worst team in the 1111 01:01:44,080 --> 01:01:47,640 Speaker 2: nationally in the National Football League. So I've just misread 1112 01:01:48,520 --> 01:01:51,640 Speaker 2: that division. So every now and then a loss will 1113 01:01:51,680 --> 01:01:53,160 Speaker 2: come in and it turns out not to be as 1114 01:01:53,240 --> 01:01:54,880 Speaker 2: terrible a loss as you think. But You're right, they 1115 01:01:54,920 --> 01:01:57,960 Speaker 2: should have won the game, but probably in retrospect they 1116 01:01:57,960 --> 01:01:59,840 Speaker 2: should not have been that large of a favorite because 1117 01:02:00,000 --> 01:02:02,200 Speaker 2: Maryline has been playing very good football. 1118 01:02:03,040 --> 01:02:05,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, the Carolina is decent, they have a winning record. Now, 1119 01:02:05,520 --> 01:02:08,360 Speaker 3: they're not great, But the way Green Bay outplayed them 1120 01:02:08,720 --> 01:02:11,040 Speaker 3: on the field as far as yards yards for play, 1121 01:02:11,400 --> 01:02:13,560 Speaker 3: didn't punt, you just can't lose that. You gotta find 1122 01:02:13,600 --> 01:02:15,680 Speaker 3: a way to miss the field goal to turnovers, you 1123 01:02:15,680 --> 01:02:19,960 Speaker 3: can't lose that game. The one situationally, the Packers are 1124 01:02:19,920 --> 01:02:22,040 Speaker 3: in a really good spot coming into this week. If 1125 01:02:22,040 --> 01:02:25,840 Speaker 3: you NFL teams that are double digit favorites that lose 1126 01:02:25,880 --> 01:02:29,120 Speaker 3: outright the following week, if they're back at home, they're 1127 01:02:29,160 --> 01:02:31,600 Speaker 3: forty eight and thirty four against the spread. Now if 1128 01:02:31,600 --> 01:02:34,080 Speaker 3: they lost at home as a double digit favorite and 1129 01:02:34,120 --> 01:02:37,000 Speaker 3: then they're home again next week, now they're twenty six 1130 01:02:37,040 --> 01:02:39,480 Speaker 3: and thirteen against the spread, And it makes sense, right, 1131 01:02:39,520 --> 01:02:43,240 Speaker 3: a good team, big favorite loses embarrassing, they bounce back 1132 01:02:43,280 --> 01:02:46,320 Speaker 3: and play well the next week, as I would expect great, 1133 01:02:46,360 --> 01:02:46,720 Speaker 3: But in. 1134 01:02:46,600 --> 01:02:49,520 Speaker 2: Those stats you don't contain did you lose your best 1135 01:02:49,520 --> 01:02:55,000 Speaker 2: offensive player? And I you know, I actually wonder would 1136 01:02:55,000 --> 01:02:57,120 Speaker 2: the loss of Jordan Love be greater than the loss 1137 01:02:57,560 --> 01:03:00,360 Speaker 2: of Tucker of Tucker Craft. I just think that has 1138 01:03:00,400 --> 01:03:03,720 Speaker 2: been such a difference maker. But maybe I'm overreacting to that, 1139 01:03:03,840 --> 01:03:05,800 Speaker 2: But you're right, there's all those things in there that 1140 01:03:05,840 --> 01:03:09,080 Speaker 2: screen bounce back in the meantime. Who knows what to 1141 01:03:09,080 --> 01:03:10,600 Speaker 2: make of the Eagles. They could be one of those 1142 01:03:10,640 --> 01:03:12,480 Speaker 2: teams that kind of kicks it into the second half 1143 01:03:12,520 --> 01:03:16,320 Speaker 2: of the season, and they might be stronger. It's just 1144 01:03:16,400 --> 01:03:18,600 Speaker 2: I think a really tough game to get a read on. 1145 01:03:18,680 --> 01:03:20,760 Speaker 2: Speaking of games that have been tough to get a 1146 01:03:20,800 --> 01:03:23,920 Speaker 2: read on, every pick we've been making on this program 1147 01:03:23,960 --> 01:03:26,760 Speaker 2: for the last two weeks. We all got skunked two 1148 01:03:26,760 --> 01:03:31,360 Speaker 2: weeks ago, and we all got skunk this past week. 1149 01:03:32,200 --> 01:03:34,840 Speaker 2: Paul took the Lions to beat the Vikings by nine 1150 01:03:34,920 --> 01:03:37,760 Speaker 2: or more, a terrible pick. I agreed with his pick, 1151 01:03:38,160 --> 01:03:40,120 Speaker 2: but the way I was wrong about everything last week, 1152 01:03:40,280 --> 01:03:42,720 Speaker 2: Minnesota won the game straight up still to me a 1153 01:03:42,760 --> 01:03:47,000 Speaker 2: shocking result. Mike said that Dallas and Arizona would score 1154 01:03:47,080 --> 01:03:49,360 Speaker 2: more than fifty four and a half points. But you 1155 01:03:49,400 --> 01:03:53,640 Speaker 2: talk about confusing teams, what has happened to Dallas? I 1156 01:03:53,680 --> 01:03:57,160 Speaker 2: mean the Dallas offense a few weeks ago looked unstoppable, 1157 01:03:57,560 --> 01:04:01,640 Speaker 2: and they couldn't do a dog one thing against Arizona. 1158 01:04:01,760 --> 01:04:07,640 Speaker 2: So Mike's pick, let's see, Yeah, you don't have an 1159 01:04:07,680 --> 01:04:10,760 Speaker 2: Ellen there, but that's right. And I took Kansas State 1160 01:04:10,800 --> 01:04:14,640 Speaker 2: a seven and a half point underdog against Texas Tech 1161 01:04:14,680 --> 01:04:16,840 Speaker 2: and they got killed by twenty three points. So we're 1162 01:04:16,880 --> 01:04:19,800 Speaker 2: all wrong and just put that in the all in 1163 01:04:19,800 --> 01:04:22,320 Speaker 2: the rearview mirror. I got a dilemma this week. And 1164 01:04:22,320 --> 01:04:25,600 Speaker 2: then there's actually six games that I like, but every 1165 01:04:25,600 --> 01:04:27,840 Speaker 2: one of them has one problem. So I have to 1166 01:04:27,840 --> 01:04:29,919 Speaker 2: go and grab one of those games despite the fact 1167 01:04:29,920 --> 01:04:32,840 Speaker 2: that I've got a problem in each pick. They're all good, 1168 01:04:32,960 --> 01:04:36,680 Speaker 2: except they both have one drawback on them. Anyway, Paul, 1169 01:04:36,720 --> 01:04:39,560 Speaker 2: who's having an atrocious season, I was having a good 1170 01:04:39,600 --> 01:04:42,240 Speaker 2: one in pill I drove right into a brick wall 1171 01:04:42,280 --> 01:04:44,720 Speaker 2: two weeks ago and have not recovered from it. Paul 1172 01:04:44,800 --> 01:04:49,960 Speaker 2: needs a win. Where are we going here? The Bear 1173 01:04:50,080 --> 01:04:54,120 Speaker 2: Giants game? Now you have a interesting game there. The 1174 01:04:54,160 --> 01:04:57,720 Speaker 2: Bears suddenly another team. The Bears started the season with 1175 01:04:57,720 --> 01:04:59,680 Speaker 2: a pretty good defense and the offense was a working 1176 01:04:59,760 --> 01:05:02,360 Speaker 2: fry Chris, the Bears defense is falling apart, and the 1177 01:05:02,360 --> 01:05:05,280 Speaker 2: Bears offenses now they are what the Cowboys were a 1178 01:05:05,280 --> 01:05:07,480 Speaker 2: few weeks ago. Three and a half. The game is 1179 01:05:07,520 --> 01:05:10,400 Speaker 2: in Chicago. The Bears are favored by the infernal number 1180 01:05:10,400 --> 01:05:14,640 Speaker 2: of three and a half. He's going to take the Bears, 1181 01:05:14,680 --> 01:05:16,360 Speaker 2: even though he doesn't like the half. Now, tell us 1182 01:05:16,360 --> 01:05:18,600 Speaker 2: why you're taking the Bears? 1183 01:05:20,720 --> 01:05:20,880 Speaker 4: You know? 1184 01:05:23,520 --> 01:05:26,959 Speaker 2: Did I see the end of the Bears? E There's 1185 01:05:26,960 --> 01:05:28,680 Speaker 2: so many things that I saw this week. I don't 1186 01:05:28,720 --> 01:05:30,680 Speaker 2: remember it. Ag Oh that was the forty seven to 1187 01:05:30,760 --> 01:05:36,840 Speaker 2: forty two game. Yeah, yes, I did little momentum after 1188 01:05:36,880 --> 01:05:44,720 Speaker 2: the Caleb Williams touchdown last week when Paul made his pick, 1189 01:05:45,120 --> 01:05:48,200 Speaker 2: I said I was going to pick that game too, 1190 01:05:48,280 --> 01:05:50,840 Speaker 2: but I'm not going to because when we go together, 1191 01:05:51,400 --> 01:05:54,240 Speaker 2: it's just doomed. That's one of the games that I 1192 01:05:54,320 --> 01:05:57,040 Speaker 2: was considering. The only hang up I have I agree 1193 01:05:57,080 --> 01:05:59,640 Speaker 2: with Paul entirely. The only hang up on that game 1194 01:05:59,800 --> 01:06:02,760 Speaker 2: is I hate three and a half. I hate three 1195 01:06:02,760 --> 01:06:04,920 Speaker 2: and a half. I hate three and a half. I 1196 01:06:04,960 --> 01:06:07,000 Speaker 2: did take a three and a half game earlier this 1197 01:06:07,080 --> 01:06:09,640 Speaker 2: year and it did win. But I think Paul's right. 1198 01:06:09,680 --> 01:06:12,520 Speaker 2: I think the Bears are a now team and the 1199 01:06:12,960 --> 01:06:15,840 Speaker 2: Giants surprising of the Giants defense is not very good. 1200 01:06:15,880 --> 01:06:18,120 Speaker 2: What do you think about the game, Mike, Yeah. 1201 01:06:18,120 --> 01:06:20,120 Speaker 3: The only thing I don't like about the Bears in 1202 01:06:20,160 --> 01:06:22,400 Speaker 3: their record, I'll be honest with you. They're five and three, 1203 01:06:23,200 --> 01:06:28,439 Speaker 3: but their last five wins, all their five wins, they're 1204 01:06:28,480 --> 01:06:32,320 Speaker 3: plus fourteen in turnover margin in those games. Yeah, when 1205 01:06:32,320 --> 01:06:35,640 Speaker 3: they had four wins in a row, they were creating 1206 01:06:35,680 --> 01:06:38,040 Speaker 3: like four turnovers every game, and you win in the 1207 01:06:38,120 --> 01:06:40,240 Speaker 3: NFL when you do that. The one time they didn't, 1208 01:06:40,640 --> 01:06:42,920 Speaker 3: then they turn around and lose. And then last week 1209 01:06:43,240 --> 01:06:46,040 Speaker 3: against the bad Cincinnati team, they were plus three and 1210 01:06:46,080 --> 01:06:48,439 Speaker 3: turnovers again and barely won the game. So I don't 1211 01:06:48,440 --> 01:06:50,320 Speaker 3: know what to make of Chicago. I don't like the Giants, 1212 01:06:50,320 --> 01:06:52,080 Speaker 3: but I don't know what to make of Chicago, to 1213 01:06:52,120 --> 01:06:52,640 Speaker 3: be honest with you. 1214 01:06:53,280 --> 01:06:56,000 Speaker 2: And Cincinnati is just I mean, Flacco didn't do anything 1215 01:06:56,040 --> 01:07:00,000 Speaker 2: for Cleveland's they did. Cincinnati had no offense at all. 1216 01:07:00,200 --> 01:07:02,520 Speaker 2: Flackel goes over there and they put up a zillion points. 1217 01:07:02,880 --> 01:07:07,720 Speaker 2: But the Bengals defense. Yeah, you just you wonder if 1218 01:07:07,720 --> 01:07:09,480 Speaker 2: we're having a hard time right now. I'm just sizing 1219 01:07:09,560 --> 01:07:11,080 Speaker 2: up a lot of things in the NFL, and it's 1220 01:07:11,120 --> 01:07:13,360 Speaker 2: just hard to make heads or tails of them. Okay, 1221 01:07:13,360 --> 01:07:14,960 Speaker 2: time to get a pick from Mike. Where are we going. 1222 01:07:15,920 --> 01:07:19,400 Speaker 3: Let's look at first in Colin, you told me, all right, 1223 01:07:19,440 --> 01:07:21,520 Speaker 3: the Texas Tech BYU game you said was ten. 1224 01:07:21,600 --> 01:07:23,720 Speaker 2: You said, I want to confirm that it's ten. That's 1225 01:07:23,720 --> 01:07:25,160 Speaker 2: what I had in my notes. 1226 01:07:26,560 --> 01:07:31,720 Speaker 3: Texas Tech and you would number one sixty five, one 1227 01:07:31,800 --> 01:07:32,520 Speaker 3: sixty six of. 1228 01:07:33,040 --> 01:07:38,120 Speaker 2: You said that, all right? Ten, Yes, Texas Tech at 1229 01:07:38,120 --> 01:07:39,240 Speaker 2: home is favored by ten. 1230 01:07:40,400 --> 01:07:48,760 Speaker 3: Okay, let's look in NFL the Sunday night game, Pittsburgh Chargers. 1231 01:07:48,120 --> 01:07:54,320 Speaker 2: Steelers and the Chargers. I believe that's three. Yes, the 1232 01:07:54,400 --> 01:07:57,640 Speaker 2: Chargers at home are favored by three over Pittsburgh. 1233 01:07:58,440 --> 01:08:02,400 Speaker 3: Okay, I'm gonna go. I'm gonna take Texas Tech. 1234 01:08:02,760 --> 01:08:06,000 Speaker 2: You're gonna take Texas Tech. You're gonna well, that's that's 1235 01:08:06,040 --> 01:08:08,120 Speaker 2: an out there pick. You're gonna go and lay ten 1236 01:08:08,160 --> 01:08:11,880 Speaker 2: points against the team that is unbeaten. Texas Tech does 1237 01:08:11,960 --> 01:08:15,280 Speaker 2: look like a steamroller. I grant you that, and we 1238 01:08:15,600 --> 01:08:17,479 Speaker 2: discussed several of the reasons for that, so I don't 1239 01:08:17,479 --> 01:08:19,680 Speaker 2: think that we need to add anymore. It's time to 1240 01:08:19,680 --> 01:08:22,040 Speaker 2: get a pick from me. And as I said, that, 1241 01:08:22,200 --> 01:08:26,040 Speaker 2: just a problem with every I really really really wanted 1242 01:08:26,040 --> 01:08:29,559 Speaker 2: to take Texas over Jacksonville, but c J. Stroud, the 1243 01:08:29,640 --> 01:08:33,759 Speaker 2: Texans quarterback, as a concussion, he's in the protocol, probably 1244 01:08:33,840 --> 01:08:36,120 Speaker 2: won't play. I still think they're gonna win, but they're 1245 01:08:36,160 --> 01:08:37,920 Speaker 2: laying a point and a half, so I can't pull 1246 01:08:37,960 --> 01:08:40,160 Speaker 2: the trigger on that. I mentioned the problem that I 1247 01:08:40,160 --> 01:08:42,400 Speaker 2: have with the Beers pick of the three and a 1248 01:08:42,479 --> 01:08:47,120 Speaker 2: half and some of the factors that Mike mentioned, and 1249 01:08:47,160 --> 01:08:49,280 Speaker 2: I also kind of leaned to Philadelphia getting two and 1250 01:08:49,320 --> 01:08:51,880 Speaker 2: a half against green Bay. But my prob but my 1251 01:08:52,000 --> 01:08:55,800 Speaker 2: problem there is all the things that Mike mentioned. Green 1252 01:08:55,840 --> 01:08:59,519 Speaker 2: Bay is a team that has gone back and forth, 1253 01:08:59,560 --> 01:09:02,240 Speaker 2: and after a poor performance, they tend to step up. 1254 01:09:02,520 --> 01:09:07,400 Speaker 2: So I have to reject all of those games. We 1255 01:09:07,400 --> 01:09:09,559 Speaker 2: were talking about. One of the games of Missouri. I 1256 01:09:09,640 --> 01:09:11,840 Speaker 2: like Missouri. I think they have a very very good 1257 01:09:11,920 --> 01:09:15,080 Speaker 2: chance against Texas A and M all these teams from 1258 01:09:15,120 --> 01:09:18,000 Speaker 2: Texas that aren't the University of Texas, but there's the 1259 01:09:18,040 --> 01:09:22,120 Speaker 2: backup quarterback, so that that's not a perfect situation. I 1260 01:09:23,280 --> 01:09:26,280 Speaker 2: see a game that's out there this weekend. Mike talks 1261 01:09:26,280 --> 01:09:29,320 Speaker 2: a lot about trap games, and I've come to think 1262 01:09:29,400 --> 01:09:35,120 Speaker 2: that years ago people did not give enough credence to 1263 01:09:35,439 --> 01:09:39,200 Speaker 2: there's a letdown situation. Now. I think everybody says every 1264 01:09:39,200 --> 01:09:41,519 Speaker 2: game is a trap game, and it's an overused thing. 1265 01:09:41,840 --> 01:09:44,160 Speaker 2: But there's a trap game on the schedule this week. 1266 01:09:44,200 --> 01:09:46,360 Speaker 2: That's the I think the biggest trap game that in 1267 01:09:46,400 --> 01:09:48,439 Speaker 2: the history of college at least this year, in the 1268 01:09:48,520 --> 01:09:51,080 Speaker 2: entire college football season. Which game do you think that is, Mike, 1269 01:09:51,120 --> 01:09:53,480 Speaker 2: there's a game in which a team is just screaming 1270 01:09:53,520 --> 01:09:58,240 Speaker 2: to let down. You'll get it. You get these always. 1271 01:10:00,160 --> 01:10:02,400 Speaker 3: Uhh, I don't know. 1272 01:10:03,720 --> 01:10:11,200 Speaker 2: Yukon and Virginia. I mean Yukon is they're an independent team, 1273 01:10:11,320 --> 01:10:13,080 Speaker 2: so no game is a conference game. 1274 01:10:13,200 --> 01:10:15,519 Speaker 3: And Yukon Duke you mean Ukon Duke. 1275 01:10:15,560 --> 01:10:18,839 Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I said Virginia Duke last week be Clemson 1276 01:10:18,960 --> 01:10:22,920 Speaker 2: by one point in a thrilling just a thrilling game. 1277 01:10:23,160 --> 01:10:25,719 Speaker 2: Now they play a non conference game and they have Virginia. 1278 01:10:25,760 --> 01:10:28,240 Speaker 2: That's Virginia on my mind, Virginia, who's eight and one 1279 01:10:28,320 --> 01:10:29,880 Speaker 2: next week, so they have to go play a non 1280 01:10:29,920 --> 01:10:33,080 Speaker 2: conference game against Connecticut. Jim Mora Junior is the coach 1281 01:10:33,120 --> 01:10:35,639 Speaker 2: of Connecticut, and he took just a terrible program there 1282 01:10:35,640 --> 01:10:39,960 Speaker 2: and he's winning, getting ten points. My problem is Duke's 1283 01:10:40,200 --> 01:10:43,400 Speaker 2: ten points better than Connecticut. So I can't make that pick, 1284 01:10:43,680 --> 01:10:47,280 Speaker 2: so I've rejected all of these, and here's where I'm going. 1285 01:10:48,520 --> 01:10:52,559 Speaker 2: There's a very weird team called Oregon State. They're in 1286 01:10:52,640 --> 01:10:55,519 Speaker 2: a conference, but there's only two teams in the conference. 1287 01:10:55,880 --> 01:10:58,960 Speaker 2: They were orphaned when the PAC twelve fell apart. So 1288 01:10:59,040 --> 01:11:01,200 Speaker 2: the only other team in the PAC twelve, which is 1289 01:11:01,200 --> 01:11:04,400 Speaker 2: now the PAC two, is Washington State. Washington State and 1290 01:11:04,479 --> 01:11:07,400 Speaker 2: Oregon State are kind of looking for a conference to 1291 01:11:07,479 --> 01:11:09,720 Speaker 2: attach themselves to. They's talk that they're going to end 1292 01:11:09,760 --> 01:11:13,000 Speaker 2: up in the Mountain West and so on, so they're 1293 01:11:13,040 --> 01:11:17,479 Speaker 2: really an independent, even though they're technically not listed as 1294 01:11:17,520 --> 01:11:20,679 Speaker 2: it independent. They fired the coach earlier this season after 1295 01:11:20,680 --> 01:11:23,200 Speaker 2: they started to seven, and they started to seven because 1296 01:11:23,200 --> 01:11:26,360 Speaker 2: everybody's transferry out of the program because you know, they're 1297 01:11:26,400 --> 01:11:29,479 Speaker 2: not at a conference, they're not in anything. They fired 1298 01:11:29,520 --> 01:11:31,759 Speaker 2: the coach, but they're not. Coming off of two straight 1299 01:11:31,800 --> 01:11:34,320 Speaker 2: wins and they beat They all have a rival in 1300 01:11:34,479 --> 01:11:36,840 Speaker 2: Washington State, the other team in the Pack two. They 1301 01:11:36,840 --> 01:11:39,000 Speaker 2: beat them last week, and I love this. They're one 1302 01:11:39,000 --> 01:11:40,960 Speaker 2: and seven and the fans storm the field when they 1303 01:11:40,960 --> 01:11:45,040 Speaker 2: got their second win. This week, they're laying twenty and 1304 01:11:45,080 --> 01:11:48,360 Speaker 2: a half points at home. Two and seven. They're laying 1305 01:11:48,439 --> 01:11:51,080 Speaker 2: twenty and a half and that's because they're playing Sam Houston, 1306 01:11:51,520 --> 01:11:54,200 Speaker 2: who is a contender for the worst team in college football. 1307 01:11:54,240 --> 01:11:57,120 Speaker 2: There's a real battle here. It's either Sam Houston or 1308 01:11:57,160 --> 01:12:01,000 Speaker 2: Massachusetts in fact. But he's gonna believe me on this. 1309 01:12:01,360 --> 01:12:03,920 Speaker 2: If the schedule had worked out, I was this week 1310 01:12:04,080 --> 01:12:07,559 Speaker 2: going to take go against Massachusetts and our pick. They 1311 01:12:07,560 --> 01:12:10,000 Speaker 2: played last night and they lost by thirty four points 1312 01:12:10,320 --> 01:12:14,080 Speaker 2: to Accrid. Accord's not very good, but Massachusetts is atrocious, 1313 01:12:14,120 --> 01:12:17,040 Speaker 2: So unfortunately I couldn't do that twenty and a half points. 1314 01:12:17,160 --> 01:12:19,760 Speaker 2: Sam Houston is coached by Phil Longo, who destroyed the 1315 01:12:19,800 --> 01:12:22,240 Speaker 2: Wisconsin offense during the couple of years he was the 1316 01:12:22,240 --> 01:12:25,800 Speaker 2: offensive coordinator. Here, they're terrible this year. They haven't won 1317 01:12:25,840 --> 01:12:28,080 Speaker 2: a game. They're losing but twenty five and thirty points 1318 01:12:28,120 --> 01:12:30,600 Speaker 2: every week. The one downside for Oregon State is it 1319 01:12:30,680 --> 01:12:32,880 Speaker 2: is a letdown after they beat Washington State and the 1320 01:12:32,880 --> 01:12:36,280 Speaker 2: fans storm the field. But Oregon State's terrible. Their offense 1321 01:12:36,320 --> 01:12:38,960 Speaker 2: isn't very good and their defense is atrocious. They haven't 1322 01:12:38,960 --> 01:12:41,479 Speaker 2: played anybody and they're ower to seven. The only team 1323 01:12:41,520 --> 01:12:43,839 Speaker 2: that they played is Texas, which has shown no offense 1324 01:12:43,880 --> 01:12:45,920 Speaker 2: all you're in Texas put up fifty five on them. 1325 01:12:46,280 --> 01:12:49,400 Speaker 2: I think Oregon State's program, the kids that are there, 1326 01:12:49,720 --> 01:12:52,200 Speaker 2: you know, beaten down. There's all sorts of reasons to 1327 01:12:52,200 --> 01:12:55,120 Speaker 2: be depressed. They're not at a conference, the coach got fired, 1328 01:12:55,160 --> 01:12:57,280 Speaker 2: but they' feeling good about themselves. They won two games. 1329 01:12:57,280 --> 01:12:59,320 Speaker 2: Now they're at home and they get to play a 1330 01:12:59,360 --> 01:13:01,240 Speaker 2: team in which they destroy him. And I'm gonna lay 1331 01:13:01,240 --> 01:13:03,400 Speaker 2: twenty and a half points and take Oregon State over 1332 01:13:03,960 --> 01:13:07,439 Speaker 2: Sam Houston In. Phil Longo's another Phil Longo's another candidate 1333 01:13:07,479 --> 01:13:09,360 Speaker 2: to be one and done and be fired at the 1334 01:13:09,439 --> 01:13:11,920 Speaker 2: end of the year. I mean, he screwed up Wisconsin 1335 01:13:11,960 --> 01:13:14,840 Speaker 2: and now he's screwed up Sam Houston In. Just an 1336 01:13:14,840 --> 01:13:17,080 Speaker 2: overrated coach. What do you think about my pick, Mike. 1337 01:13:17,600 --> 01:13:19,519 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that's a game that's on my radar 1338 01:13:19,600 --> 01:13:22,400 Speaker 3: this week as well. Wash It Oregon State and one 1339 01:13:22,560 --> 01:13:25,640 Speaker 3: the one fear. I mean, you're you're laying twenty with 1340 01:13:25,680 --> 01:13:28,560 Speaker 3: a team that averages nineteen points a game. So and 1341 01:13:28,960 --> 01:13:31,679 Speaker 3: granted they're playing Sam Houston State as a horrible defense. 1342 01:13:31,680 --> 01:13:34,280 Speaker 3: In fact, they give up I believe forty points per game. 1343 01:13:34,320 --> 01:13:37,120 Speaker 3: I think they're last in the country in points allowed 1344 01:13:37,160 --> 01:13:40,080 Speaker 3: and they get creamed every game long travel. 1345 01:13:40,360 --> 01:13:42,559 Speaker 2: I don't it's their second road game in a row 1346 01:13:42,640 --> 01:13:45,080 Speaker 2: two for a team that's yeah, stinks and it is 1347 01:13:45,160 --> 01:13:48,639 Speaker 2: probably they're overmatched and they've quit. Sam Houston last week 1348 01:13:48,680 --> 01:13:53,400 Speaker 2: played Louisiana Tech. Louisiana Tech Okay, Louisiana Tech beat him 1349 01:13:53,400 --> 01:13:56,160 Speaker 2: fifty five to fourteen, and that was Sam Houston's game 1350 01:13:56,720 --> 01:13:59,840 Speaker 2: off the by the week before that, Sam Houston played UTEP, 1351 01:14:00,080 --> 01:14:01,680 Speaker 2: team that I thought was going to be better this 1352 01:14:01,760 --> 01:14:05,320 Speaker 2: year than they are. UTEP's offense is awful. They put 1353 01:14:05,400 --> 01:14:09,280 Speaker 2: up thirty five points against them. I mean, you know, 1354 01:14:09,280 --> 01:14:11,600 Speaker 2: as I mentioned, they lost fifty five to nothing to 1355 01:14:11,680 --> 01:14:14,120 Speaker 2: Texas when they played there, and they're getting worse every week, 1356 01:14:14,120 --> 01:14:17,120 Speaker 2: probably because they're an overmatch team and beaten down. In 1357 01:14:17,160 --> 01:14:19,720 Speaker 2: the meantime, Oregon State's played some pretty good teams. They 1358 01:14:20,240 --> 01:14:23,639 Speaker 2: played Oregon, they played Texas Tech, and they actually gave 1359 01:14:23,680 --> 01:14:26,439 Speaker 2: Texas Tech. You know, they came within thirty against them, 1360 01:14:26,439 --> 01:14:29,280 Speaker 2: which that's more than most people most teams are able 1361 01:14:29,320 --> 01:14:32,679 Speaker 2: to do. I just think it's a chance for them 1362 01:14:32,720 --> 01:14:35,200 Speaker 2: to put up forty nine points on a team that's 1363 01:14:35,200 --> 01:14:37,720 Speaker 2: only going to score ten against them, and as I 1364 01:14:37,720 --> 01:14:39,240 Speaker 2: say there's a problem with every one of the picks, 1365 01:14:39,280 --> 01:14:41,880 Speaker 2: but that's where I go. So recapping everybody's picks. Let's see, 1366 01:14:42,240 --> 01:14:46,160 Speaker 2: I don't have anything. Oh, Paul brought it in for me. No, 1367 01:14:46,400 --> 01:14:49,679 Speaker 2: this is coming in right now. I'd see. Paul says, 1368 01:14:50,040 --> 01:14:52,000 Speaker 2: take the Bears. I don't disagree with Paul. Take the 1369 01:14:52,000 --> 01:14:54,479 Speaker 2: Bears to beat the Giants by four or more. Mike says, 1370 01:14:54,520 --> 01:14:57,280 Speaker 2: Texas Tech will beat BYU my more than ten, and 1371 01:14:57,360 --> 01:15:01,200 Speaker 2: I'm taking Oregon State to beat Sam Houston. Paul wrote 1372 01:15:01,240 --> 01:15:03,120 Speaker 2: down twenty. I need a win, so I should go 1373 01:15:03,120 --> 01:15:05,720 Speaker 2: with it's actually twenty and a half. Twenty and a half. 1374 01:15:05,720 --> 01:15:09,360 Speaker 2: Watch them now be twenty and over Sam Houston.
