Speaker 1: All right, welcome to episode twenty eight of Fade This.
Speaker 1: It's a rainy day in Lexington, Kentucky, where Drew Franklin
Speaker 1: and I are picking games and making flames.
Speaker 2: Drew, it's good to see you. Yeah, I'm here ready
Speaker 2: to make some flames. I feel like last week, I
Speaker 2: don't always remember what we picked, but I remember some
Speaker 2: of my big games not going well for me. So
Speaker 2: I don't feel like I'm coming out of a good weekend.
Speaker 1: I have a feeling I didn't do well either. But
Speaker 1: we know, of course, don't come out of the gate.
Speaker 2: Doing games.
Speaker 1: So you may remember that we hit. There was an
Speaker 1: election last Tuesday, and it didn't go the way that
Speaker 1: I preferred. So I decided to, like, you know, branch out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're taking a hiatus from the news, right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, trying to. I mean it's not the easiest because
Speaker 1: Trump keeps picking crazier and crazier people to positions, and
Speaker 1: it gets I get text alerts. But so I've done
Speaker 1: a few things that I think are important. I've stopped
Speaker 1: following various people on Twitter. It's good, probably cold about
Speaker 1: fifty away, some of whom were political, but then some
Speaker 1: of them were like for reasons. I don't understand. I
Speaker 1: was following the Stanford Beat reporter for sports. I don't
Speaker 1: know what was the day that I decided to do that.
Speaker 2: See, I can't do that the moment a tweet pops
Speaker 2: up and it's something I'm not interested in and follow,
Speaker 2: I'm I guess I'm just always keep in mind close.
Speaker 1: Let's play a game. Let's play a Matt follows someone live,
Speaker 1: unfollow someone live.
Speaker 2: Oh here, I think we've played this, be foar. I
Speaker 2: like this.
Speaker 1: Okay, so here, I'm gonna go through. I'm gonna just
Speaker 1: pick twelve accounts, the first twelve that come up, and
Speaker 1: I have to get rid of one of the okay,
Speaker 1: and I will let you two help me decide who okay?
Speaker 1: All right? The first thing that comes out is uh
Speaker 1: is Tristan Ferris, the UK reporter. Probably need to keep him.
Speaker 1: He works a lot.
Speaker 2: Number two is world Weary Guy. He does.
Speaker 1: Five minute audio reviews of every wrestling organization in America.
Speaker 2: How often do you listen to those?
Speaker 1: Almost never? But he does OVW and so sometimes I'll
Speaker 1: look at it. He's a contender to be dropped. I
Speaker 1: do like him though. He's funny. He's British. Number three
Speaker 1: is certified Luke Curtis. We're not dropping.
Speaker 2: He can follow him, he's certified. Number four is Dominique Yates.
Speaker 3: Oh Domb went to college with him. He's now in Wisconsin.
Speaker 2: I think he's a packers reporter.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a contender because I don't care about the packer.
Speaker 2: That's the thing. A lot of you follow the local people.
Speaker 2: Then they moved to like Texas, to come to a different beat,
Speaker 2: and you get a bunch of stuff. You're not interested,
Speaker 2: all right. Number five is Nick Kirby.
Speaker 1: He's a RADS reporter, keeping him sick. Sean Cunningham, Fox
Speaker 1: forty reporter for the Sacramento Kings. Why am I following him?
Speaker 3: Dearon Fox News?
Speaker 1: Okay, he is the leader in the clubhouse at this moment.
Speaker 1: I think even the British wrestling guy I need more
Speaker 1: than him.
Speaker 2: Maybe you could get them together for a debate.
Speaker 1: Okay, Tom Nichols, he's a conservative political guy. He would
Speaker 1: normally be a contender, but I think I would care
Speaker 1: more about him than that.
Speaker 2: But you're not supposed to be following that. You said
Speaker 2: you're taking a year off.
Speaker 1: It's true, but he doesn't annoy me like some of them.
Speaker 1: Field Yates, He, of course, maybe get out of his seat.
Speaker 1: Bully Bully, America's best racing.
Speaker 2: I like, yeah, I follow them, follow many people, and
Speaker 2: I follow them.
Speaker 1: Ryan Dietrich, he's the cheap media strategist at Carson Group.
Speaker 1: I don't know what those words mean.
Speaker 2: Why am I Carson's the restaurant group? Good feed you?
Speaker 1: No, No, I don't. I don't think it's that.
Speaker 2: I don't know about that.
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna go ahead and just let all right,
Speaker 1: I don't I find out. I'm sorry, Ryan, I don't
Speaker 1: know who you are. Then Ben Smith, that's a that's
Speaker 1: a media reporter. I'll keep him. And finally, Josh Gondleman.
Speaker 1: His profile says he's a year round ice coffee drinker.
Speaker 2: And what what led you to him in the first place?
Speaker 2: To follow?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 2: He used to write for Desis and Marrow. Okay, there
Speaker 2: you go.
Speaker 1: No, I liked Mary, but they're not together anymore.
Speaker 3: What is that is that a paper?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 2: Isa? You thought DSUs and maryl was like a newspaper.
Speaker 3: Maybe in the day.
Speaker 1: I see you like subscribe. You know what I'm reading today?
Speaker 1: The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and DSUs.
Speaker 2: And Marrow Honey, put on your robe and run out
Speaker 2: there and get the DCEs and maryl out of the driveway.
Speaker 2: There's a good story in there today. I'm really looking
Speaker 2: forward to.
Speaker 1: You don't know what DSS and maryw now. It was
Speaker 1: it's it's It used to be a podcast. Then it
Speaker 1: was a show that Drew and I both liked. It
Speaker 1: was on Vice and then it was on Showtime. Two
Speaker 1: New York guys, Uh, two like black guys in New York.
Speaker 1: They're funny. They would make fun of stuff.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: They used to be great, didn't They had?
Speaker 2: Like they broke up. It was one of those they
Speaker 2: both they got big and it was like, well, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna go do this, and.
Speaker 1: I think they hate each other.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I think it was I think fame broke
Speaker 2: up this news.
Speaker 1: It's really kind of sad. It's like, like, who are
Speaker 1: some duos that fame did end? Because this is in merriw.
Speaker 1: I really really liked when they were on Vice. I
Speaker 1: would watch them every night.
Speaker 3: Mike and Mike couldn't talk to me.
Speaker 1: Mike and Mike ended up hating each other. Simon and
Speaker 1: Garfunk they it became too.
Speaker 2: Much for them, Birdman in Lil Wayne, Oh did they
Speaker 2: break up? There's been drama? What happened with them? Well?
Speaker 2: The Hot Boys really just all of cash money records.
Speaker 2: There was just a over time. They slowly, slowly and
Speaker 2: Lil Wayne, they don't want to like my daddy. There's
Speaker 2: been since been a Hot Boys reunion. I'm sure it
Speaker 2: came up on your Twitter.
Speaker 1: It did not Hot Boys reunion?
Speaker 2: How was they? How was that? I cried? I was
Speaker 2: pretty excited to see the Hot Boys back together. But
Speaker 2: it's another example if you get so big, you start
Speaker 2: to get these frustrations with these other than a lot
Speaker 2: of people want to go solo. Yeah, Sunday best didn't
Speaker 2: they here locally?
Speaker 1: I mean? And then they were like, all right, I
Speaker 1: prefer Mondays and he was like, no, I'm staying on Sunday.
Speaker 1: And so then they broke up. All right, So do
Speaker 1: I let go of the Desis and Marrow Rider or
Speaker 1: do I let go of the Sacramento Kings beat Reporter.
Speaker 2: Anytime I get to this point where I'm unfollowing, I
Speaker 2: do a quick look at their timeline. Sometimes they haven't
Speaker 2: tweeted in like six years, which makes an easy decision
Speaker 2: but if they have anything that interests me in the
Speaker 2: last few days, I give him a chance. But if not,
Speaker 2: it's like a shirt in your claws and you have
Speaker 2: it one in five years. Why am I still holding
Speaker 2: on it.
Speaker 1: I'm letting go. I'm gonna keep Desis and Mirro guy
Speaker 1: because at some point he must have made me laugh.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let Sean Cunningham of Fox forty and Sacramento
Speaker 1: let him go. I'm gonna give up my local TV
Speaker 1: news Sacramento Kings Report.
Speaker 2: How will you get your Northern California weather?
Speaker 3: So I got rid of him at about the Weary
Speaker 3: British or.
Speaker 2: Weary Guys arrives.
Speaker 1: When I saw that he was on there, I thought
Speaker 1: he was in danger. He survives, plus he only has
Speaker 1: nine hundred and sixty four followers.
Speaker 2: Would he would know?
Speaker 1: He would notice if I left.
Speaker 2: It'd feel like you leaving a party. That he's a
Speaker 2: He would see you walk out the door if you
Speaker 2: unfollowed him.
Speaker 1: You know what, maybe we can get him to a thousand.
Speaker 3: Oh, he's going to see a big jump after this.
Speaker 1: No, it's okay, I mean, I don't know. I think
Speaker 1: he's a very niche, niche fall so I just dropped
Speaker 1: two and now I'm down to following. Uh, nineteen hundred
Speaker 1: and five people.
Speaker 3: Have you started cooking yet?
Speaker 1: Have not, but have been made plans to cook?
Speaker 2: Does have concepts of the recipe. You don't have the recipe,
Speaker 2: but you have concepts. I have concepts of a recipe. Well,
Speaker 2: I mean I bought a book. It's called the Science
Speaker 2: Lab or something. It's like, uh, and it tells me
Speaker 2: what knives I need.
Speaker 3: Oh, so you went the Science Approach, not the Martha
Speaker 3: Stewart Rachel Ray cooking book. You can.
Speaker 1: My goal is to go and like get four or
Speaker 1: five like in person, just the basic like how to
Speaker 1: turn things on butter. It's all one course, you know,
Speaker 1: all all those kinds of things. I'm gonna do that,
Speaker 1: and then I'm just gonna kind of, you know, do
Speaker 1: my do it. I think I'm gonna wait till after
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving because I think if I start and then the
Speaker 1: incomes Thanksgiving, then I'm gonna get distracted. And then because
Speaker 1: December is actually relatively open, we play once a week
Speaker 1: and so uh and then next thing, you know, I'm
Speaker 1: just gonna be be cooking so much.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it might be a good opportunity to help your
Speaker 3: mom with Thanksgiving dinner.
Speaker 1: No, she she's we're going out for Thanksgiving. She's coming
Speaker 1: to Lexing.
Speaker 3: Oh, you guys go out for Thanksgiving?
Speaker 1: Well, no, sometimes I go there. But she they're coming
Speaker 1: here because you know, we have a lot of stuff
Speaker 1: I've got. We got a game Friday, we got game Saturday.
Speaker 1: So really I would only be able to go for
Speaker 1: a day. So she's coming up here. We're going to
Speaker 1: uh uh, there's a restaurant in town that does Thanksgiving dinner.
Speaker 1: Originally she offered to cook in my apartment, and then
Speaker 1: she said, I don't think I want to do it
Speaker 1: because I don't want to carry the food into your house.
Speaker 2: It's a lot of a lot of work. You probably
Speaker 2: don't have all the pots and pans as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I said, I go, I'll i'll carry it, but.
Speaker 2: You have all the equipment. Was she gonna cook it
Speaker 2: and then bring it cooked?
Speaker 1: Well, she's gonna bring them actually, or at least most
Speaker 1: of it. But she was like, well, I just don't
Speaker 1: want to carry all the dishes. I was like, well,
Speaker 1: I mean I'll carry him, and she goes, oh, I
Speaker 1: don't want to ask you to do that, and I said,
Speaker 1: I feel like it's not. First of all, we're not
Speaker 1: carrying them through the organ trail. It's like from the
Speaker 1: it's from the driveway, could be a lot though into
Speaker 1: the house.
Speaker 2: What goes into things. It's a long day cooking all
Speaker 2: the supplies.
Speaker 1: Well, it's fine. I mean, if she doesn't want to cook,
Speaker 1: we're gonna go and it'll be fun. We're you know, Max,
Speaker 1: who's our friend here, who's Australian. He doesn't have anywhere
Speaker 1: to go on Thanksgiving, so we're like like a straight puppy.
Speaker 1: We're inviting him in and feed him.
Speaker 3: It's very nice.
Speaker 2: I like that.
Speaker 1: So so it'll be I'm really excited for the Max
Speaker 1: and my dad conversations.
Speaker 2: In my younger Halloween's Thanksgivings is Thanksgivings whatever?
Speaker 3: What of the plural?
Speaker 2: At home, I have a lot of family that coaches basketball,
Speaker 2: and we would have like random players from Africa that
Speaker 2: couldn't come home just come over. So I have pictures
Speaker 2: of just me on the couch with like some six
Speaker 2: foot ten guy who had nowhere to go. And you know,
Speaker 2: you want everyone to be able to enjoy the holidays.
Speaker 2: So I had a lot of random basketball players that are.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what it was like on Ted Lasso, the
Speaker 1: one guy would do that. Yeah, got the all the
Speaker 1: random people there, and that was nice. I had two
Speaker 1: or three about every year we've done that. Some There
Speaker 1: was one time my mom invited a woman from our
Speaker 1: church to come over and she had a son that
Speaker 1: you know, I think he's passed away, so rest in
Speaker 1: peace was was crazy and that was weird. He started
Speaker 1: talking about like weird things, and you know when you're
Speaker 1: in high school or like middle school, you're like what
Speaker 1: and uh, that was I remember that being particularly awkward.
Speaker 2: We had some guests coming to Christmas too, you know,
Speaker 2: they have Christmas break, couldn't go back to wherever they're from,
Speaker 2: and they would join our gift exchange. Nice. So they're
Speaker 2: sitting here with my family. We barely know them. They're
Speaker 2: these gigantic athletes and they're holding up like an old
Speaker 2: Navy sweater from my aunt that doesn't fit them, but
Speaker 2: it was all part of the holiday. It was good.
Speaker 2: I was like that they buy them size exclude. Well,
Speaker 2: it was like a gift exchange where everyone you know,
Speaker 2: you throw in and draw stuff. But these guys are
Speaker 2: seven foot two hundred and something pounds and didn't really
Speaker 2: fit in the clothes, but it was always fun at
Speaker 2: the holidays.
Speaker 1: Also, I thought I would take a second to do
Speaker 1: Billy a little bit of a movie and TV preview.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, please, there's a television show that I'm very
Speaker 1: excited coming out now. I have not seen it yet,
Speaker 1: but it is called Say Nothing. Say Nothing is one
Speaker 1: of the best books that I've read in a decade.
Speaker 1: It's about do you know what happened in Ireland called
Speaker 1: the Troubles?
Speaker 3: Was it the potato drought that they had?
Speaker 1: That was that was? That was the potato famine. There's
Speaker 1: a thing called the Troubles, Like there was a lot
Speaker 1: of fighting about Ireland, Northern Ireland like coming together, and
Speaker 1: you've heard of the Irish Republican Army and then Britain
Speaker 1: trying to keep there. You know all that throughout the
Speaker 1: seventies and eighties and sixties they were just fighting in bombs.
Speaker 1: And it's the story that's set during that time of
Speaker 1: a mother who got kidnapped, and they're turning it into
Speaker 1: a TV series and there are people saying it's the
Speaker 1: best TV show of the year, And the book is
Speaker 1: like one of the best books I've ever read, called
Speaker 1: Say Nothing. I went to Ireland in Europe basically because
Speaker 1: I wanted to see some of the places from that book.
Speaker 1: And now it's a TV series I think at debuts
Speaker 1: maybe tomorrow, which app I think it's on Hulu FX
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. So so I just want to
Speaker 1: give that as a shout out, a preemptive one. I
Speaker 1: have not seen it yet, but I feel like it's
Speaker 1: going to be really good.
Speaker 2: I'm looking for new new television at the moment.
Speaker 1: So and then you know the movie everybody says is
Speaker 1: going to win the Oscar Is it the Pope one? No,
Speaker 1: it's I think it's gonna get nominated. But Anora just
Speaker 1: about like some young, you know, woman who's like a
Speaker 1: woman of the night who falls for a Russian oligarch
Speaker 1: and then gets stuck in this whole crime. But it's
Speaker 1: supposed to be like everybody sees it says it will
Speaker 1: change humanity.
Speaker 2: I haven't heard of either word for your popcorns.
Speaker 1: So those are two little things I'm telling you, Billy.
Speaker 1: Anora and Say Nothing. I haven't seen either of them,
Speaker 1: so they might both be terrible. But I'm just like
Speaker 1: preemptively recommending.
Speaker 2: Oh Adam to my list. I'm sure you caught up
Speaker 2: with Yellowstone. I don't like Helstone. I told you it's
Speaker 2: too much.
Speaker 1: And then they just like kill off Kevin Costner, whoa,
Speaker 1: I'm not spoiler, but he's not and that was in
Speaker 1: the news. Okay, but like he I think they he
Speaker 1: was not on it right, Yes, yeah, I do, yeah,
Speaker 1: but the fate of his character. But I've heard that
Speaker 1: that show. I tried to get through the first season
Speaker 1: and it's just too much. The one woman's always walking
Speaker 1: out like one to have sex with everybody on the ranch.
Speaker 2: And it's like this past weekend in New York, I
Speaker 2: had a restaurant booked with Abby, just like a week
Speaker 2: in advance, nothing special, just a restaurant I randomly picked
Speaker 2: from Google. We get there. The entire Yellowstone premiere was
Speaker 2: that night. Kind of felt like we were part of it,
Speaker 2: even though we were just completely unintentional. I acted like
Speaker 2: I knew what we were doing. But uh, it was
Speaker 2: pretty neat. I watched the I watched the premiere.
Speaker 1: I haven't gotten into that whole world of like eighteen
Speaker 1: eighty four, and you.
Speaker 2: Know, I haven't watched that one just just the regular Yellowstone.
Speaker 2: Do you like all of those shows?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 3: But I did play Red Dead and that's kind of
Speaker 3: the same time, Ran Bragg.
Speaker 2: He's right there, he can hear you. That's what I
Speaker 2: was going to say. What does that have to do
Speaker 2: with Yellowstone?
Speaker 3: Oh, that's that you said eighteen eighty four, that's kind
Speaker 3: of the time frame.
Speaker 1: That's well, there's a show called eighteen eighty four that's
Speaker 1: on gotcha.
Speaker 3: I haven't seen that one.
Speaker 1: I don't understand about Yellowstone. Notice it's a paramount show
Speaker 1: that the reruns are on Peacock, but the new ones
Speaker 1: are on Hulu.
Speaker 2: It's hard to find. How are you supposed to know where.
Speaker 1: To watch it?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. That's tough. They're just selling it
Speaker 3: to the highest bidder. It sounds like.
Speaker 2: They are in a big cash grab with that and
Speaker 2: a lot of things. That show is making a lot
Speaker 2: of money. Even though Kevin Costner stepped away.
Speaker 1: And why did he step away? His wife? Well, somebody
Speaker 1: or no.
Speaker 2: He tried to create his own version and he put
Speaker 2: it on money behind it. It's almost like he was
Speaker 2: going to take all the momentum and Yellowstone to make
Speaker 2: his own, but no one really followed him to his
Speaker 2: own so now he's just so he did one of
Speaker 2: those like who's coming with me? And nobody came, and
Speaker 2: even I was like, all right, maybe it'll be good.
Speaker 2: I haven't even I don't even know if it's out,
Speaker 2: So is that I kind of forget? I really don't know.
Speaker 2: That's kind of the point. I think he thought it
Speaker 2: was gonna be this next big thing. Maybe it still will.
Speaker 2: But have you has anyone heard about it? You just
Speaker 2: know that, you just know that he's not on a yellowstone.
Speaker 2: So I think he gambled a little bit and that
Speaker 2: could be backfiring.
Speaker 1: This is all payback for sleeping with cal Ripkin's wife.
Speaker 3: I didn't know that.
Speaker 2: I don't think that really happened, but like it was
Speaker 2: a you never heard that rumor?
Speaker 1: No, no, there was a rumor.
Speaker 2: Do you know this? Oh well, yeah, that's why the
Speaker 2: streak end.
Speaker 1: So when cal Ripkin wasn't why it ended. But when
Speaker 1: cal Ripkin was like going for the consecutive game streak,
Speaker 1: there was a rumor that like this rumor seems so
Speaker 1: stupid at hindsight that I believe like he left his
Speaker 1: glove at home. Yeah, crazy, And the rumor was he
Speaker 1: like left his glove at home and got in his
Speaker 1: car to drive to the field, okay, and he was like,
Speaker 1: oh no, left my glove at home. And he turned
Speaker 1: around and came back. And when he came back, Kevin
Speaker 1: Costner was sleeping with his wife. Wasn't that the story?
Speaker 3: Yes, what a wild event.
Speaker 2: But then there they canceled it had a power out
Speaker 2: in it, so that exactly.
Speaker 1: So then they got in a fight. Yeah, and he's like,
Speaker 1: I can't play baseball ball. Somebody's eye got black. Maybe
Speaker 1: something happened, et cetera. And cow was gonna be late
Speaker 1: for the game. And the story was I think that
Speaker 1: they overwatered the field to like flood it to give
Speaker 1: him time to get back to the game.
Speaker 2: So light it was the lights, the pow streak wouldn't break.
Speaker 3: I love that. I love that move by the field manager.
Speaker 1: And this was pre internet, So it's one of those
Speaker 1: things that has kind of lived in like lore. And
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's true, Drew, But I don't
Speaker 1: want to know. I don't think.
Speaker 2: Because I've always just assumed it's true. Yeah, I've just
Speaker 2: lived assuming it's true. It's just very I always think
Speaker 2: about when something's so hard to believe. I'm I always
Speaker 2: try to put myself in the shoes, Well, why would
Speaker 2: someone make that up? And I just can't think of
Speaker 2: why would someone and make all that upjectively true?
Speaker 1: Is that the game got postponed for a power whatever.
Speaker 1: That's the one part that's subjectively true. Now, the like
Speaker 1: he left his glove at home, that's the part that's
Speaker 1: a little sketch.
Speaker 2: The iron Man, he's literally the guy that shows us glove.
Speaker 2: Could he not borrow a glove?
Speaker 1: Could someone go get his glove?
Speaker 2: And if all the people to forget a glove, the
Speaker 2: guy that's made twelve hundred consecutive starts, seems like he's
Speaker 2: got a pretty good routine going.
Speaker 1: So here's what I'll do when we start this. You
Speaker 1: can google Billy and see if you can get us
Speaker 1: the real truth. Okay, and maybe we can figure out today,
Speaker 1: once or and for all, whether or not the love
Speaker 1: triangle between Costner Ripk and his glove and his wife.
Speaker 2: Is maybe you could try to get one of them.
Speaker 3: On the same You never heard that story, never, not once,
Speaker 3: But I love it already.
Speaker 1: I really liked before the Internet when things like that
Speaker 1: would come out. Remember when we were kids they said
Speaker 1: Screech died. Well the one that gets me.
Speaker 2: It makes me wonder how the world works and if
Speaker 2: we really are living in simulation? Is everyone when I
Speaker 2: was in middle school knew the Maryland manson rumor there's
Speaker 2: it's true, But like, how did that? No one, like
Speaker 2: we didn't have the internet to tell you, wasn't on TV?
Speaker 2: How did how did we pass it around the country
Speaker 2: as middle school kids?
Speaker 1: Definitely word of mouth. It's sort of like that that
Speaker 1: there was a Sinbad Shazam Kazam movie?
Speaker 2: What was that that? What's that called something? Mendel There
Speaker 2: you go, Mendel effect. Yeah, all right, well with cal
Speaker 2: Ripken when I will with that. How did we do
Speaker 2: last week? I feel like we did New very well well.
Speaker 3: Records weren't bad, but the locks of the week did
Speaker 3: not come in once again, Drew Lock of the Week
Speaker 3: with Miami Georgia Tech did not come in. Both of
Speaker 3: you guys had one of the ones I knew I
Speaker 3: didn't have and the Halls Lingerie Bank lock of the
Speaker 3: Week both did not come in for either of you guys.
Speaker 3: What the Halls Lauer, Yeah.
Speaker 1: I found out it closed fifteen years ago. I heard
Speaker 1: that from a Halls listener.
Speaker 2: I had a few people send me a message about
Speaker 2: Halls Lingerie that they they recognized that. One was your
Speaker 2: actual friend, who's like, it's good here and Matt, bring
Speaker 2: back those memories.
Speaker 1: Yeah it was hot.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Mississippi State covered the twenty four points there. But overall,
Speaker 3: both of you guys were seven and five in college.
Speaker 3: Drew you were five and three in the NFL. Matt,
Speaker 3: you were seven and one.
Speaker 1: Look at that, so am I literally the best NFL
Speaker 1: picture that's ever existed.
Speaker 3: That's I will get the overall for you by next week.
Speaker 2: The NFL numbers are crazy. I mean the other numbers
Speaker 2: are good too.
Speaker 3: Seven and one last week. That that means you were
Speaker 3: fourteen and six overall, Drew was twelve and eight total. Matt,
Speaker 3: you are ninety one and sixty seven. It's a great
Speaker 3: recordile Drew is eighty two and seventy six.
Speaker 2: I'm ninety one and sixty seven. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, then who was the jackass that wrote me and
Speaker 1: said I listened to your podcast after the games? You
Speaker 1: all suck?
Speaker 2: No, we get that about every week, people like why
Speaker 2: would I listen? They're constantly wrong and I'm kind of
Speaker 2: thinking the numbers do not lie. If you want to
Speaker 2: call us idiots and said we get off track, that's
Speaker 2: one thing. But just say we're making the wrong.
Speaker 1: Team in six is as good a week as I've
Speaker 1: probably ever had.
Speaker 2: It's factually an accurate to say, fade this doesn't know
Speaker 2: how to pick games.
Speaker 1: I am kind of becoming like an NFL savant.
Speaker 2: Have you taken this to ESPN? Be like I know
Speaker 2: the games and they don't.
Speaker 1: They don't care, like they don't want me to. When
Speaker 1: I was in Chicago with my boss last weekend, I
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, I don't know anything about the NFL.
Speaker 1: I don't know what made me say that.
Speaker 3: You said that to your boss.
Speaker 1: I said it to my boss. I said, when you
Speaker 1: all hired me, I didn't even know who the quarterbacks
Speaker 1: were except a few of them. And he goes, oh,
Speaker 1: and I said, I know who they are now, but
Speaker 1: like I didn't know Cooper Rush was still in the league.
Speaker 2: And he goes, well, that's how we like it. I
Speaker 2: thought you're gonna say, I use it as a raise.
Speaker 2: I can now name the quarterbacks, so you owe me
Speaker 2: more money. When you hired me, I did not know it's.
Speaker 1: A perfect example. I would put my NFL record this
Speaker 1: year against any of the Yes, but in the NFL
Speaker 1: is hard and so like, you don't need to know anything.
Speaker 1: I mean, look at this guy. You think he knows anything?
Speaker 2: Look at him? Look at that dude.
Speaker 1: What could he know? It's got a nice office, Brett Veach.
Speaker 1: Who's that?
Speaker 2: Oh it's the GM right beneath his name, it says
Speaker 2: three times Super Bowl champion. He probably knows.
Speaker 1: At point, he doesn't know any more than anybody else.
Speaker 2: Okay, now AJ hawk's next to him, you know more
Speaker 2: than a AJ hawks?
Speaker 1: So face so big on the screen. All right, let's
Speaker 1: get started. Who's up first?
Speaker 2: How about a little Texas going to Arkansas? Texas.
Speaker 1: These teams used to play every year they did they
Speaker 1: were in the old Southwest Conference against each other, and
Speaker 1: now they're going to play again for the first time.
Speaker 1: Think in a while.
Speaker 2: The rivalry is back. Texas is a thirteen and a
Speaker 2: half point favorite.
Speaker 1: And it's at Arkansas. Correct, that's a hard one, you know.
Speaker 1: Texas a little disappointing last week. Got Kentucky coming down
Speaker 1: next week.
Speaker 2: Kid, definitely thinking about that. Uh. Arkansas has lost two
Speaker 2: out of three just lost old miss.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say Texas covers by aunt love it.
Speaker 2: I'll say Arkansas covers. Texas is winning. But with the
Speaker 2: Cats around the corner, they're looking ahead for what's coming
Speaker 2: to town Arkansas. They'll be excited to have Texas in town.
Speaker 2: Even though they've lost two of threes to do very
Speaker 2: good teams, So I'll say they keep it within the twelfth.
Speaker 2: They lose by eleven. Oh yeah, that's a tough one.
Speaker 2: By the way, mid City Mall in Louisville is now
Speaker 2: for sale. They're wanting to get rid of them all
Speaker 2: into a mixed use development. That's sad. You know, there's
Speaker 2: a lot of good stuff from that place. They got
Speaker 2: that library. I don't even know which mall that is.
Speaker 2: It's one right next to my house. That's where the
Speaker 2: back door is. Oh okay, the movie theater that yeah,
Speaker 2: I gotcha.
Speaker 1: I mean there's there used to be a comedy place there,
Speaker 1: there's a grocery store, there's a library, there's a doctor's office.
Speaker 2: So they just getting rid of all that. What do
Speaker 2: you when they're ready to sell just kicking our body out,
Speaker 2: get out of here, movie theater doctor. Maybe you can
Speaker 2: buy it Yeah, you're like the third person to say,
Speaker 2: time to do with it, Mad Jones funhouse. Just put
Speaker 2: all your favorite things for me.
Speaker 1: Just create my little mansion there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can have your own skyline in there, even
Speaker 2: though there's one next door.
Speaker 1: Competing skyline right next to the skyline.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they got all the fun you could have.
Speaker 1: It's a that's a great location, and that should be
Speaker 1: a very vibrant property.
Speaker 2: Oh it'll be. It'll have the value over time. It
Speaker 2: might have some dips, but in twenty years it'll be
Speaker 2: it'll be worth more. Yeah. Well, I don't you got
Speaker 2: that Billy could live there?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I need a place for Billy.
Speaker 1: All right, what's next?
Speaker 2: How about a little Utah at Colorado? A game that
Speaker 2: could have some big twelve championship implications even though where
Speaker 2: they both behind b White. You know, yeah, well Utah
Speaker 2: beat me or Utah played should have beat me yu
Speaker 2: last week. Colorado is certainly in the hunt. Colorado is
Speaker 2: an eleven and a half point favorite.
Speaker 1: They're at home, and I like Utah to cover that.
Speaker 1: I don't know if they win or not. The eleven
Speaker 1: and a half is too much respect. The Utes are
Speaker 1: upset about. They feel like they got screwed at the
Speaker 1: end of that game against the fellow Mormons. You can't
Speaker 1: keep getting screwed by the Mormons.
Speaker 2: D calm down. Yeah, he was like, that was pretty
Speaker 2: that was pretty weird. He's like, y'all are a bunch
Speaker 2: of cheaters. Get some The big line was, we were
Speaker 2: excited to be in this conference, but not.
Speaker 1: Now Big twelve cheaters that I like, utaw to cover
Speaker 1: that on the road.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go Colorado. They're too busy winding about what
Speaker 2: already happened. They can't focus on what's in front of them. Well,
Speaker 2: we we've gone the other way on the first two. Yeah,
Speaker 2: both big spreads too, So uh, I'll take Colorado here.
Speaker 2: Very impressive with what they've done so far this year,
Speaker 2: although looking at their schedule, they're seven and two, but
Speaker 2: they haven't really beaten anyone at the top of their conference.
Speaker 2: I think they don't even have to play the top
Speaker 2: seven teams in the Big Twelve, so they're kind of
Speaker 2: beating up on the bottom half. But I mean, if
Speaker 2: they win the games, they could get in the championship game.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll see. I don't know, you think would you
Speaker 1: if you if you were Florida State or the Cowboys.
Speaker 1: Would you hire Dion?
Speaker 2: Well, I'm kind of living this with Titans are probably
Speaker 2: there's a high probability that Titans get Shador, which Dion
Speaker 2: would come with him. I would like to. I like
Speaker 2: watching them from afar. I don't really want that near
Speaker 2: my team. Yeah, you don't want him.
Speaker 1: He's good, but you don't want whether you want Dion
Speaker 1: or not, you don't want him coaching his son in
Speaker 1: the NFL.
Speaker 2: No, And he's already said this week fit when the
Speaker 2: draft comes around, he's gonna be picking what school he
Speaker 2: goes to and pushing some away. It's like, you've already
Speaker 2: got too many hands on what's happening. Keep that away
Speaker 2: from my team? Say that again? What's saying he's already
Speaker 2: Dion is already saying when we get to the draft,
Speaker 2: if I don't like the team he's going to, I'm
Speaker 2: stepping in.
Speaker 3: The old Eli Manning John Lay.
Speaker 2: So he's already setting them up for some drama.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean the last person to do that was
Speaker 1: was Eli. It worked out for Eli, but I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know if he has that kind of pull.
Speaker 2: Yep, because my team's gonna be in the mix of
Speaker 2: needing a quarterback and picking there. I would prefer to
Speaker 2: avoid all that.
Speaker 1: Now come around to if I was like Florida State, though,
Speaker 1: I'd say, why not Florida State?
Speaker 2: They're so bad?
Speaker 1: Like why why not do it?
Speaker 2: Like?
Speaker 1: Why not give it a shot? I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: he's proven to be he's done a good job at Colorado,
Speaker 1: and he'll get the players. It'll be exciting, they'll have
Speaker 1: the that's.
Speaker 2: The thing, is the fan excitement, and then ile money
Speaker 2: will be there if he.
Speaker 1: If I was Florida State, I just go ahead and
Speaker 1: do it, you know, I think I think it would
Speaker 1: make make sense. I'm the Cowboys. I mean, they're already
Speaker 1: a circus.
Speaker 2: They need to fix their the sun coming in their
Speaker 2: window before they start worrying about that.
Speaker 1: I like how Jerry was like, we want me to
Speaker 1: do back son. Son's just up her. I ain't like
Speaker 1: I can do nothing about it. It's just up her.
Speaker 1: She's your son.
Speaker 2: What you supposed to do? He said, there's a moon too.
Speaker 1: He shunned up her. You think they's gonna be a
Speaker 1: shun And then they're like, well, why don't you, you know,
Speaker 1: put up a curtain? Well, there's still the Sun's well.
Speaker 2: You're all pro receiver has his hands in the air
Speaker 2: with the ball coming at him because you can't see.
Speaker 2: Just to admit, you don't do a great job designing that.
Speaker 1: His cousin Sal pointed out, if you go back to
Speaker 1: the opening scenes of Dallas, it shows this in like
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty three, Like go back if you were to
Speaker 1: watch the opening credits of the TV show Dallas and
Speaker 1: they're showing the scenes from the city of Dallas. They
Speaker 1: show a stadium with half of the filled with sun
Speaker 1: and a roof, and it was the old Cowboys Stadium,
Speaker 1: which means he took a problem that existed and was like,
Speaker 1: let's recreate it.
Speaker 2: Simple tinted window will fix that. You can slap a
Speaker 2: Miller Light logo on there. Whatever you need to do,
Speaker 2: make a little more dollars will do. He's just shin.
Speaker 1: You know, they had WrestleMania there, and you know what
Speaker 1: they did. They put a curtain of it. What a
Speaker 1: concept they do that for wrestle Mania.
Speaker 2: This has been talked about for several years, but that
Speaker 2: clip last week of CD with this soft toss coming
Speaker 2: at him and he's like, I can't see the ball.
Speaker 2: It's always this time.
Speaker 1: Of year in the four o'clock game. It always happens,
Speaker 1: and they just baffled. I don't know what's his objection
Speaker 1: to it. He doesn't like curtains.
Speaker 2: Are you one, like like someone would have in their
Speaker 2: living room, like some old maybe a nice pattern, and
Speaker 2: he'll go up and close them. Or you want like
Speaker 2: some kind of screen over the well.
Speaker 1: They've said you can. I don't know. I don't know
Speaker 1: the science of it, but they've said they could put
Speaker 1: something up there.
Speaker 2: You know, you can put a little tent over the
Speaker 2: window and slap a logo on it, whatever you to do.
Speaker 2: I was just wondering, if you want, remember Joe Burrow's
Speaker 2: curtains on Draft Knight that went viral. They're like the
Speaker 2: old great Grandma curtain.
Speaker 1: I have blackout curtains in my house. They work really
Speaker 1: really well. Help you keep the keep the light out.
Speaker 2: Send them a link.
Speaker 1: You can get a big blackout curtain and they'll be
Speaker 1: ready to go. What's next?
Speaker 2: Clemson at Pitt This game would have been awesome two
Speaker 2: weeks ago, but they both took some bad losses. Yeah,
Speaker 2: uh at Pitt, I said, Clemson's a ten point favorite.
Speaker 2: They're both seven and two.
Speaker 1: Ten and it's at pit.
Speaker 2: Yep, Pitt was rolling and then they weren't lost two
Speaker 2: in a row. If I'm not mistaken.
Speaker 1: Oh, that's a hard one. These guys are getting good
Speaker 1: at their lines, so I have to be better. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna take Clemson. I think they're I think it's we
Speaker 1: Clemson's weird. They either beat the snot out of people
Speaker 1: or lose the game. They shouldn't. This will be one
Speaker 1: they beat the snot out of them.
Speaker 2: Give me Clemson. Yeah, if Louisville hadn't have gotten Clemson,
Speaker 2: maybe Pitt they can cover that. But they got killed
Speaker 2: by s m U two weeks ago, just lost to Virginia.
Speaker 2: They're going the wrong direction and Clemson's trying to get
Speaker 2: back on the track. I'll take Clemson.
Speaker 1: Also, Stabo is gonna be excited that the state of
Speaker 1: Pennsylvania went for Trump and helped him win, and he's
Speaker 1: gonna come in and you know, he's gonna want to
Speaker 1: really reward.
Speaker 2: The state.
Speaker 1: He's gonna want to reward the voters.
Speaker 2: Can wear a MAGA hat and just kind of thank
Speaker 2: them before they go.
Speaker 1: Lord works in mysterious ways. Pennsylvania and That's that's what
Speaker 1: he's gonna do, and then they're gonna win.
Speaker 2: Covering the tent, covering the tent for Trump, for the.
Speaker 1: Trump make America cover again.
Speaker 2: Tulane at Navy mm hm, Tulane is a seven point
Speaker 2: favorite at top twenty five. Toulane.
Speaker 1: I like Tulane Basically, when the when the armed forces
Speaker 1: of our country play anyone that's not good, they're gonna dominate.
Speaker 1: But then when they play a good team, the athleticism
Speaker 1: just it's just too much of a difference in Tulane's
Speaker 1: got those athletes. John Somemral, I mean they're in the
Speaker 1: top twenty five now, the playoff ratings.
Speaker 2: One of the best offensive lines in the country.
Speaker 1: As a group of me like, I respect them, but
Speaker 1: I also respect Green Waves.
Speaker 2: Well, just a few weeks ago, Navy was hot that
Speaker 2: they had the the got killed by Notre Dame. They
Speaker 2: lost to Rice in the eight Old's line, you cannot
Speaker 2: lose the food. Once you lose the food, your season
Speaker 2: is over. I'm agreeing with you. John Somerral stays hot.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I listen. All credit to Navy, an Army, the
Speaker 1: Air Force, and our coast Guard, but constables everyone, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a stupid position. Somebody's gonna do it.
Speaker 2: We should get rid of it. No, they don't.
Speaker 1: They don't have anything to do.
Speaker 2: Who's going to drive in circles around downtown? There is nothing.
Speaker 2: We do not need constables. What what's the best thing
Speaker 2: constable does.
Speaker 1: I mean, in theory, the constable's job is to serve warrants.
Speaker 1: But we also have private groups to do that. So, like,
Speaker 1: constable is just a position that gives you the excuse
Speaker 1: to pull people over, drive around.
Speaker 2: No, you don't.
Speaker 1: Just the idea of a constable is insane. The idea
Speaker 1: of a constable is wet. We you don't even have
Speaker 1: to have law enforcement training, Like you could be a constable,
Speaker 1: Billy one can and I will tell you no offense.
Speaker 1: I'm sure they're great constable, So please don't get angry.
Speaker 1: But like, there are people around this state that are
Speaker 1: constables who like it's either that or nothing, and.
Speaker 2: They act like they're the sheriff.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they just and they're like, you know, they
Speaker 1: put a light on their.
Speaker 2: Cars at the old school and you pull out with
Speaker 2: one hand and set on top. It is a ridiculous job.
Speaker 2: Take it back.
Speaker 1: So I said, no, offense because there are good constables.
Speaker 1: There's probably a constable to listen to here, but you
Speaker 1: know you have some idiots on the on the fellow constable,
Speaker 1: there's you don't even have to be trained. It's like
Speaker 1: the fact that you could be a Supreme Court justice
Speaker 1: and not be a lawyer. You can be the Attorney
Speaker 1: general and not be a lawyer.
Speaker 2: Look at all these ideas for billy.
Speaker 1: If you're not qualified to do anything else, run for office.
Speaker 1: But there's no requirement of anything for most of these offices.
Speaker 1: So just and in a lot of counties, the elections
Speaker 1: are really like that anyway.
Speaker 2: Apologies to constables.
Speaker 3: Is that tou lane for you, Drew? That's definitely okay
Speaker 3: with Matt You guys respect our green waves. You want
Speaker 3: to cal Ripken, Kevin Costner updates, just.
Speaker 2: Let's do it.
Speaker 1: At the midway point, we're four in. Let's do two more.
Speaker 1: Let's keep everybody tea.
Speaker 2: Big big LSU game here, Big LSU game, Big game
Speaker 2: featuring LSU and Florida at Florida. LSU is a four
Speaker 2: point favorite. Love LSU, especially since they lost this week.
Speaker 1: They're gonna come out and wanna smack them right in
Speaker 1: the face Billy Napier, not after giving the vote of confidence.
Speaker 1: He couldn't have laid a bigger egg. I like Lsu.
Speaker 1: I don't want to make it my lock of the
Speaker 1: week because that has not worked well, but this is
Speaker 1: my you know what cal Ripken did to Kevin Kostner
Speaker 1: game of the Week.
Speaker 2: I guess there's a chance Lagway could return, but I'm
Speaker 2: still taking Lsu even if he returns. I like Lsu.
Speaker 2: If Lagway doesn't play, that is a hammer pick. But
Speaker 2: they were all right with him before he got hurt.
Speaker 2: I still like the Tigers, though.
Speaker 1: All right, one more of and then we'll do our update.
Speaker 2: Your favorite team, your favorite team to lock. The Nebraska
Speaker 2: Cornhuskers are on the road at USC. It's a big
Speaker 2: number though US season nine and.
Speaker 1: A half point. We take Nebraska. I feel like they five.
Speaker 1: You know at some they're gonna do it.
Speaker 2: For me. Here's what kills me about you and these
Speaker 2: Nebraska picks. You're part of your brand is Nebraska is
Speaker 2: never gonna be back, but you seem to keep believing
Speaker 2: in them. It's like you're completely inside.
Speaker 1: Spreads are so high, and I'm like, well they're gonna
Speaker 1: cover and they have covered a couple of these they
Speaker 1: they have not won. But I'll take Nebraska. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't think USC is great. There won't be anyone
Speaker 1: there from USC. Nebraska may have more fans there, So
Speaker 1: give me Nebraska.
Speaker 2: I'm making fun of you, but I'll take Nebraska to
Speaker 2: USC seems to lose every time I check their scores.
Speaker 1: Riley not being successful. There is a little bit of
Speaker 1: a surprise.
Speaker 2: I believed in them. What week three at Michigan, they
Speaker 2: lost that one, and I don't know that they've done
Speaker 2: much since. I think they lost like four out of five.
Speaker 2: So I will join you for the first time this
Speaker 2: season putting money behind the corn Husters.
Speaker 1: All right, sounds good. Now tell me the update on
Speaker 1: the breaking news about Kevin Conal ripken.
Speaker 3: Well neither admitted to it, they forcefully denied it on
Speaker 3: radio interviews and TV appearances in later years, including Costner
Speaker 3: who threatened to rip off the heads of the radio
Speaker 3: hosts that were.
Speaker 2: Whoa that we're saying it was fact but a minute
Speaker 2: so that he was on a show.
Speaker 3: He called into a show because the day before they
Speaker 3: were saying they were talking about the story and talking
Speaker 3: about it as fact. Which show was this, I'd had
Speaker 3: to look that up.
Speaker 2: Well, that was what you were supposed to be doing.
Speaker 3: Well, that's part of the story here. There's actually a
Speaker 3: whole podcast series about it called The Rumors. A six
Speaker 3: part podcast podcast series interviewed players, stadium employees, and other
Speaker 3: key figures at the time, including an off duty cop
Speaker 3: that said that the rumor was true. But in the
Speaker 3: final podcast episode, the sentiment is there's no real reason
Speaker 3: to believe it is true.
Speaker 1: I believe it's true now because why would you do
Speaker 1: a six part podcast series.
Speaker 2: Just like I said earlier, or why would someone make
Speaker 2: that up? Why would someone do a six part podcast
Speaker 2: podcast series if it wasn't true? Wouldn't you and Cal
Speaker 2: Ripken like all laugh about it?
Speaker 1: Now?
Speaker 2: The fact that he was so angry makes me think
Speaker 2: it's true too. Yeah, we find out what show it was,
Speaker 2: first of all.
Speaker 1: I want to know what show would look at Kevin
Speaker 1: Costner and go, were you cheating on Cal Ripkin?
Speaker 2: Like? Were you? Well, now I'm worried is he gonna
Speaker 2: call us? If he is, he just calling shows that
Speaker 2: talk about youtting ready for his new Yellowstones here the
Speaker 2: spin off.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll find the quote here in just a second, Okay,
Speaker 3: I'm not happy.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 3: Uh yeah. I thought at first you guys were saying
Speaker 3: this was true, and if you were, I was going
Speaker 3: to take your heads off if there is, If there
Speaker 3: is something alleged, I'd love to see someone come forward.
Speaker 3: That's what the actor said calling into the radio show.
Speaker 3: It does not say the name of the radio show.
Speaker 2: I was a little defensive. Yeah, methinks thou dost protest
Speaker 2: too much? That's from uh him.
Speaker 3: I'll take your word for it.
Speaker 2: I'll look that one up. Who's next. We got a
Speaker 2: little top twenty five game in the SEC with Missouri
Speaker 2: going to South Carolina. South Carolina is a thirteen and
Speaker 2: a half point favorite.
Speaker 1: No way, Yeah, I guess it's from hamlet to so
Speaker 1: you know I was right?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 1: Go ahead, thirteen and a half. Yep, give me Missouri
Speaker 1: to cover the thirteen a half. South Carolina wins, Missouri
Speaker 1: keeps it close. I have a lot of big road
Speaker 1: dogs covering this week.
Speaker 2: This one all depends on if Missouri's quarterback plays and
Speaker 2: he's They haven't really given any indication either way, but
Speaker 2: they're a completely different team without him. I'll take South
Speaker 2: Carolina to cover the big number. Really just assuming he
Speaker 2: won't he won't play, I haven't seen a positive update.
Speaker 2: If he plays, I'll probably be eating that loss. But
Speaker 2: if he doesn't play, I think South Carolina could kill him.
Speaker 2: I think South Carolina's I don't like to admit how
Speaker 2: good they've been.
Speaker 1: I picked now like four major road dogs to cover
Speaker 1: like ten points or more. That's not something I normally
Speaker 1: would do, but I don't really know what else to do.
Speaker 2: It feels like that's what I need. Some big spreads
Speaker 2: this week.
Speaker 1: Yeah, who's next?
Speaker 2: Arizona State at Kansas State. These two teams also could
Speaker 2: be in the Big twelve game the winner of this
Speaker 2: depending what Colorado and BYU do. Both two losses. Kansas
Speaker 2: State is an eight point favorite.
Speaker 1: Give me Kansas State to cover. You get that Manhattan magic.
Speaker 1: You know they got a good Japanese restaurant there that
Speaker 1: I went to once.
Speaker 2: It's gonna it's gonna play into the game. You think
Speaker 2: you think Arizona State might go there for the pregame meal. Well,
Speaker 2: I mean there's a few things.
Speaker 1: First of all, they got rid of Herm Edwards met.
Speaker 2: Or Arizona State.
Speaker 1: Arizona State, they're still reeling from that. Arizona State lost
Speaker 1: to Duke in the preseason by like seventy in basketball.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well herm gone no longer play to win the game.
Speaker 1: So domination to get rid of her. The basketball preseason.
Speaker 2: Lost, Jadan Quainton's didn't looking that good.
Speaker 1: And that Japanese restaurant in Manhattan all combines to make
Speaker 1: Kansas State cover.
Speaker 2: I was kind of I was leaning towards the sun Devils,
Speaker 2: but when you put it like that, all right, go Wildcats.
Speaker 2: A lot of factors didn't play that Wildcats. How could
Speaker 2: I bet against Herm Edwards used to be there. Their
Speaker 2: basketball team and Jayden Quainton's are down a little bit.
Speaker 1: And the Japanese restaurant in.
Speaker 2: The Japanese restaurant where I saw the Yellowstone Premiere Japanese restaurant.
Speaker 2: There's just some magic in these Japanese restaurants.
Speaker 1: I was at that Japanese restaurant in Manhattan, Kansas, I
Speaker 1: think in spring nineteen ninety nine, so it might have
Speaker 1: closed by now.
Speaker 2: Not if it was good, it's not too long to stay.
Speaker 1: Up Spring nineteen ninety nine and I was eating there
Speaker 1: and it was for the Fraternity Softball National Championships, which
Speaker 1: we played in even though we didn't even have a team.
Speaker 2: We created the team did just sign up to play
Speaker 2: in these chams.
Speaker 1: For the national championships, the National Championships.
Speaker 2: The National Championships of sign ups, well it was it
Speaker 2: was for fraternities.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Somebody in our fraternity found out about it,
Speaker 1: so we signed up for it.
Speaker 2: We had never been a.
Speaker 1: Team, and we drove to Manhattan, Kansas for it. Our
Speaker 1: friend Tall played center field and got bored and put
Speaker 1: the glove on his head and set down. At one
Speaker 1: point during the game. Anyway, I'm in that Japanese restaurant
Speaker 1: in between games, and a man just walked up, looked
Speaker 1: at me and said where are you from? And I
Speaker 1: said Kentucky. He just farted and walked down.
Speaker 2: I can see why you'd have that fond memory. I
Speaker 2: pulled up the top Japanese restaurant. There's Umi, you am I,
Speaker 2: there's green tea. Okay, there's a noodles in company. I'm
Speaker 2: gonna b bim bap all right, although that sounds Korean,
Speaker 2: says Japanese on the so we'll say because of bim
Speaker 2: b bim bap, bad news. What it looks recent permanently closed,
Speaker 2: so they had a good run. They had a good run.
Speaker 3: Fade the Kansas City.
Speaker 1: Still in the memory of b bim Bap.
Speaker 2: I like it.
Speaker 1: What's next?
Speaker 2: Uh, Oregon at Wisconsin. Oregon is our nation's best team,
Speaker 2: and they're a fourteen point favorite. Going to jump around
Speaker 2: a little bit.
Speaker 1: I like Orgon. I think they beat them by a thousand,
Speaker 1: another road dog. I just keep doing these.
Speaker 2: Don't you get worried about these, the long traveling stats
Speaker 2: of these crazy No, because.
Speaker 1: I think Organ's really good. I think Organ's the one
Speaker 1: team that sort of overcomes the stats.
Speaker 2: And of all teams to be good at crossing the country.
Speaker 2: You know Oregon, you know they had a whole trail that.
Speaker 1: Took them a long time.
Speaker 2: They did that.
Speaker 1: Ducks fly, so they're used to like traversing long distances.
Speaker 2: They won't have to forge the river will just fly
Speaker 2: right over.
Speaker 1: You know, Wisconsin. You know now Barry Alvarez just isn't
Speaker 1: the same as he used to be. So I'm gonna
Speaker 1: take Oregon.
Speaker 2: There is something weird about Wisconsin not being Wisconsin in
Speaker 2: football anymore. They don't have that identity they had forever.
Speaker 2: This year they've lost four or five games too. I
Speaker 2: like Oregon as well, all right, although Oregon ain't winning
Speaker 2: the whole thing. Nobody nobody's completely running the table.
Speaker 1: No, it's gonna be an SEC team to wins. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't know why we act like it's gonna be
Speaker 1: Why do we act like Oregon is gonna win?
Speaker 2: Yeah, joining your time at one now with that unblemish record.
Speaker 1: It's nice that a number one. That's good, But like
Speaker 1: it's gonna be an SEC team. It's always it's always
Speaker 1: an SEC team, or occasionally we allow some random team
Speaker 1: to win.
Speaker 3: It's gonna be, yeah, but Alabama might have to travel
Speaker 3: to Bloomington.
Speaker 1: I'll put that game on the schedule and give me
Speaker 1: Alabama minus twenty and I'll take it.
Speaker 3: And keep doubting them, all right.
Speaker 2: See at Georgia probably the game of the week. Definitely.
Speaker 2: Georgia is a ten point favorite, must win game. If
Speaker 2: they lose, they're not invited to.
Speaker 1: The person Tennessee to cover the ten. I mean, I
Speaker 1: I could see Tennessee winning. I think Georgia will win.
Speaker 1: But you're giving me ten another road dog. I'm like
Speaker 1: road dog king this week.
Speaker 2: The dogs are barking. Give me Tennessee I'll go Georgia here.
Speaker 2: Even though they've been very disappointing and Carson Beck is
Speaker 2: losing money by the weekend, they will be so fired
Speaker 2: up for this one because it's there. They haven't had
Speaker 2: a back against the wall must win game in a
Speaker 2: long time. They are out of the conversation if they
Speaker 2: don't beat Tennessee.
Speaker 3: Do we know if Nico is playing? Because the Bear
Speaker 3: reported that he isn't the Who the.
Speaker 1: Bear you're talking about? Chris Fallica?
Speaker 3: Yes, on a random Is he allowed to report things?
Speaker 3: I don't know, but people were up in arms about it.
Speaker 2: The the SEC injury report we getting out had him
Speaker 2: as questionable. Niko, are you gonna get on Blue Sky?
Speaker 2: I'm not going to say no, because if it's working,
Speaker 2: I'm sure all cave. But I'm not running to.
Speaker 1: Get what is it? Has anyone been to it?
Speaker 2: Have you?
Speaker 3: I haven't, But I was told that I needed to
Speaker 3: get KSR on Blue Sky. It's the next thing.
Speaker 2: Why why is it the next thing?
Speaker 3: I guess it's Twitter without without elon and toxic.
Speaker 1: So are we going to just like switch.
Speaker 2: To twitters for the conservatives and blue Skies for the liver?
Speaker 2: Is that where we're.
Speaker 3: Heading sounds like it.
Speaker 2: Remember the night I don't like that. Millions of people
Speaker 2: joined threads and three days later it's like, okay, we
Speaker 2: forgot about threads.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was at a Washington Nationals Reds baseball game,
Speaker 1: got threads.
Speaker 2: Was on it for a day or two, like the
Speaker 2: whole country got it at once. There's so many people joined,
Speaker 2: And does anyone throw if.
Speaker 1: You haven't been yet? Do you have to be invited?
Speaker 1: I remember people used to invite the Blue Sky. You
Speaker 1: don't so you can just sign up?
Speaker 3: No, it's yeah, and it's all positivity there they that Well, No,
Speaker 3: I guess it's like not bots and all that stuff.
Speaker 1: That's the one part of the whole elon thing, Like
Speaker 1: I don't understand why he likes bots like every other
Speaker 1: part I find. So you want Trump to win, okay,
Speaker 1: so you amplify those whatever. Okay, so you're gonna do,
Speaker 1: you know, bitcoin stuff whatever, why not try to keep
Speaker 1: But who's pro bot there?
Speaker 2: I don't know, it's out of control. I don't know
Speaker 2: if he'd likes saying there's this many users when it's
Speaker 2: obvious half of the ones are playing aren't real?
Speaker 1: People hate to like see someone writes me and goes,
Speaker 1: you know, my mother's sick and she listens to you
Speaker 1: every day. And I respond and say, oh, I'm sorry
Speaker 1: about that. I'll be praying for And then the response
Speaker 1: to mine is just a person masturbaby, and it's like
Speaker 1: and like, I feel bad for people because I have
Speaker 1: so many followers that everything I do just turns into
Speaker 1: someone getting murdered or someone like why would they want that?
Speaker 1: Like tizers can't like that.
Speaker 2: Like some My only guess is people are posting something
Speaker 2: and I don't know if there's a way he can
Speaker 2: say this. Many users are on.
Speaker 3: He's a big freedom of speech guy, and I guess, okay.
Speaker 1: But I don't believe he's not. That's a lie because
Speaker 1: he like deletes posts about him, so he's not. I'm
Speaker 1: just saying to you rationally, I can understand why he does,
Speaker 1: even if I disagree with it. A bunch of stuff.
Speaker 1: I don't know the rational reason to allow your site
Speaker 1: to be infested with bots? What's why why you can't
Speaker 1: make money from that?
Speaker 2: Now? In a lot of times, like you can see
Speaker 2: a tweet I've seen this done, you can like copy
Speaker 2: what they say and search for it and there'll be
Speaker 2: hundreds of accounts that said the exact same thing, word
Speaker 2: for word, down to the punctuation, just proving it's not
Speaker 2: even a real person whatever.
Speaker 3: You're talking about for decades.
Speaker 2: But yeah, but I don't know how it would make
Speaker 2: you money, right, Yeah, well unless he's taken just because
Speaker 2: it's a postal point.
Speaker 1: But at some point that the advertiser is gonna realize
Speaker 1: this is like not doing anything. I don't know. I mean,
Speaker 1: I I just people keep saying, go to Blue Sky
Speaker 1: truth Social. Yeah, but that's gonna go away. I mean
Speaker 1: that that's gonna end up. That'll end up merging with
Speaker 1: eggs probably.
Speaker 3: Don't you think now that I think about it, that
Speaker 3: that makes sense.
Speaker 2: Any of them that try to act like, well, we're
Speaker 2: gonna be nice, you can't.
Speaker 1: This is people don't want to be niceing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're giving people on the internet a chance to
Speaker 2: say whatever they want. It ain't gonna be pretty whatever
Speaker 2: you want to call your app. People get on the
Speaker 2: internet and say mean things. Yeah, that's just the world.
Speaker 2: That's just unfortunately people people like to do that. All right,
Speaker 2: what's next?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 2: What would you do there? Ten? Yeah? Okay, Boston College
Speaker 2: at SMU SMU is a nineteen and a half point favorite.
Speaker 1: I can't do another Boston. I can't do another Road doog.
Speaker 1: But like I'm just gonna pick SMU because I I
Speaker 1: don't know anything about Boston.
Speaker 2: Collins made a lot of money on Boston College, had
Speaker 2: them at Louisville, had them at Missouri. Bill O'Brien, Bill O'Brien.
Speaker 2: They started hot, They've lost a few lately, but I'll
Speaker 2: take them to cover the nineteen and a half. Even
Speaker 2: though SMU has been destroying some teams. I'm pretty impressive
Speaker 2: eight and more than their ring fourteenth. But it's just
Speaker 2: another big number. This week, I'll take the road team.
Speaker 1: You're gonna You're gonna go gosh, these are really hard.
Speaker 1: Why did you pick these?
Speaker 2: These are the games? Some of the other spreads were
Speaker 2: twenty six points, thirty points. You want those nose? These
Speaker 2: are our marquee games, is what it is?
Speaker 1: All right? What's next?
Speaker 2: We will end with two of our fade this favorites.
Speaker 2: We have Kansas at BYU. Last week Kansas spoiled out
Speaker 2: with State. They have a chance to ruin BYU this week.
Speaker 2: BYU is only a two and a half point favorite
Speaker 2: at home I don't even know why you're asking me this.
Speaker 2: I think you know the answers. It's here. It's why
Speaker 2: it's here on my.
Speaker 1: Own all Mormon all the time. The Mormons took down
Speaker 1: Duke Right, the Mormons took down the trip from upstate
Speaker 1: New York to Provo, Utah. The Mormons have taken down Hulu.
Speaker 1: The Mormons are gonna you think they can think they're
Speaker 1: gonna handle the most second most boring state.
Speaker 2: In the country, Kansas. Kansas, come on b Yu in
Speaker 2: a route. There's a when I was just looking at
Speaker 2: the games, I thought that might be one where I
Speaker 2: could pick Kansas. But when I saw two and a half,
Speaker 2: that's two. It's too late, too easy getting the Mormons
Speaker 2: win by Phil go and I win. Come on.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a shocking line. That is one of those lines.
Speaker 1: It's so shocking though that you go, wait a minute.
Speaker 2: A lot of times that's where I side with Vegas.
Speaker 1: What's happening. But I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go BYU.
Speaker 1: Are you excited about the Immirates NBA.
Speaker 2: Cup excited as?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 2: Yeah. I like the courts. I like when the this
Speaker 2: part of the year matters. So when do the Calves
Speaker 2: get thirteen? Well, how are they so good?
Speaker 1: I don't know. The Winnipeg Jets are fifteen and one
Speaker 1: and the Cleveland Calves are thirteen and oh crazy? And
Speaker 1: do you know how many people collectively in America would
Speaker 1: know that those two things were happening both?
Speaker 2: Even I didn't know the Calves were undefeated till just
Speaker 2: about the Jets. I don't watch hockey as much, so
Speaker 2: I definitely didn't know that one. But the Calves blew
Speaker 2: my mind?
Speaker 1: Did you know that the win?
Speaker 3: I knew that the Calves, not the Jets.
Speaker 2: Seriously, what percent of the population thing knows both those both?
Speaker 2: Less than two percent?
Speaker 1: I'm going to go less than one percent. There would
Speaker 1: be hockey heads that know the Jets but not the NBA.
Speaker 1: I think almost no one knows the Calves. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean I knew they were good, but not undefeated good.
Speaker 3: Back when I was a kid, i'd watch Sports Center
Speaker 3: two or three times before i'd changed the channel. Do
Speaker 3: you think people still do that?
Speaker 1: No, because they don't need to. I mean, they can
Speaker 1: go on the on the internet.
Speaker 3: So then I would say less than one percent.
Speaker 2: It used to be Sports Center. As I'm watching the highlights.
Speaker 2: I don't know the outcome because now you know on Twitter.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you know it's like a PI Yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: well a DraftKings sportsbook. You can bet on the Emirates
Speaker 1: NBA Cup, all thirty teams. They're split into six groups.
Speaker 1: Do you know who's in what group?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: I would sell that test.
Speaker 3: I have lower percentage.
Speaker 1: And it changes every year. I think every Tuesday and
Speaker 1: Friday playing for the right to advance in a single
Speaker 1: elimination nd season tournament come culminating in the Immirates NBA
Speaker 1: Cup in Vegas Friday nights more. They gave games on
Speaker 1: the crazy courts, so you can go something special for you.

Speaker 1: CO slash b ball.
Speaker 2: Yep, you got your NBA Cup team picked out, you
Speaker 2: got some NBA I think.
Speaker 1: It's actually very hard to even figure out who's like,
Speaker 1: let's look at the let's I'm gonna give you the
Speaker 1: NBA Cup groups. Just a couple of them. They play
Speaker 1: Tuesdays and Fridays, right, sure. The first link I have
Speaker 1: about what the NBA Cup is literally said that it's
Speaker 1: not That link doesn't work. Latest standings Group A Orlando,
Speaker 1: New York, Philly, Charlotte, Brooklyn.
Speaker 2: Orlando, New York, Phillies, Charlotte brook Isn't that the regular division?
Speaker 2: So now they're making it to where you only play
Speaker 2: other teams from your conference.
Speaker 3: There's an East group and a West group.
Speaker 1: So in Milwaukee, Detroit, Miami, Toronto, Indiana, and then Atlanta, Boston, Cleveland, Chicago. Watched,
Speaker 1: But I feel like these are already the visions, aren't they.
Speaker 2: That sounded a lot like a division when you're reading
Speaker 2: it off. This sucks. This is like last year when
Speaker 2: they would interview the players after a game about the
Speaker 2: NBA Cup and they would look at the camera and
Speaker 2: be like, we're excited, we just don't really know what
Speaker 2: we're a part of.
Speaker 1: Well, then when they played in Las Vegas, that was good.
Speaker 2: That was awesome. Yeah, that was good, but I don't know.
Speaker 2: The courts are nice in that game. I watched the
Speaker 2: end of Steph versus Clay the other night, that was awesome.
Speaker 1: They're trying to do what they do in England with
Speaker 1: and all the soccer with the f A Cups. But
Speaker 1: that's a big deal. And again I continue to say this.
Speaker 1: The reason it's a big deal is because it's like
Speaker 1: the NCAA tournament, like every team in the country gets
Speaker 1: to play in it. So it would be cool if
Speaker 1: Kentucky was playing against the Wizards, but that's not what
Speaker 1: we do. And these teams play each other all theynament
Speaker 1: so like, yeah, I don't know, but it's now the Immirates.
Speaker 2: Cup, which is nice and congrats the Cavs.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the Winnipeg Jets. Would you have known there
Speaker 1: as a team called the Winnipeg Jets. Yes?
Speaker 2: Do you remember who they were before they have the
Speaker 2: Winnipeg Jets? No? No, no, don't.
Speaker 1: They were the who they There was a Winnipeg team
Speaker 1: and then it moved okay, but then another team moved
Speaker 1: back to Winnipeg.
Speaker 2: Kind of like the like a Baltimore situation. Yes, the
Speaker 2: Atlanta Thrashers forgot about that. And do you know who
Speaker 2: the play by play guy was for the Atlanta Thrasher No,
Speaker 2: Tom Hart, Johnny the Freak inshow.
Speaker 3: Really you neither?
Speaker 2: You don't know who that is. I do know that is.
Speaker 2: Johnny the Freak was the old Atlanta Thrashers. Wow, play guy,
Speaker 2: it's very informative.
Speaker 1: Show me all right, what's next?
Speaker 2: We're gonna go to the National Football League where we
Speaker 2: have its number great one o'clock game today or Sunday
Speaker 2: with the Ravens at Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1: I think there are three games where the teams are
Speaker 1: seven and three or better. Yeah, playing each other.
Speaker 2: Good week, good when to get as started. Ravens are
Speaker 2: a three point favorite at Pittsburgh. At Pittsburgh, give me Baltimore.
Speaker 2: I like Baltimore, all right, Baltimore here. Home field doesn't
Speaker 2: matter and when the when? In these games, I like
Speaker 2: the Ravens to win Pittsburgh's. We had a great story,
Speaker 2: but I think Baltimore beats him. Yep, I and many
Speaker 2: others were very wrong on Russell Wilson. He looks good
Speaker 2: and Steelers look good. But Ravens are my super Bowl pick.
Speaker 2: I'm going to pick them most weeks, including here. Browns
Speaker 2: at the Saints. Saints are a one point favorite, two
Speaker 2: win Browns. They got Deshaun Watson is just completely derailed.
Speaker 2: Not that they ever had a lot going on, but
Speaker 2: all the money he ate up when everyone knew he
Speaker 2: didn't need that contract. It's sad that the Browns as
Speaker 2: bad as they are because they had a little something
Speaker 2: going until they signed him.
Speaker 1: Oh that's a why'd you pick this? That's a weird
Speaker 1: one to pick.
Speaker 2: Wasn't a great week of because you know, we got
Speaker 2: eight of them. There were some pretty terrible games this
Speaker 2: week in the NFL. But it's like all the good
Speaker 2: teams are playing each other and all the crappy teams.
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna take Cleveland just cause I have no idea.
Speaker 1: That's that's that's one that I would would boot if
Speaker 1: I was I never would bet this in real life,
Speaker 1: but I'll take Cleveland.
Speaker 2: I will take the Saints, probably with a little Alvin
Speaker 2: Kamara touchdown included. Okay, uh, we were just talking about
Speaker 2: the Jets how about the other Jets playing the Colts.
Speaker 2: New York's in New York. Jets are a four point favorite.
Speaker 2: It's in New York, yep, yeah, give me the Jets
Speaker 2: cults are a disaster right now. Going back to Richardson, Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's that's dumb. Aaron Rodgers is like awful, but he
Speaker 2: also doesn't want to be completely humiliated, which I enjoy
Speaker 2: and being completely humiliated by the way, you know, he
Speaker 2: has such he has such audacity. If if the Bears
Speaker 2: had to pick, let's just say, scenario so and so
Speaker 2: is hurt and have to get a free agent, and
Speaker 2: your options are Anthony richards Richardson and Aaron Rodgers to
Speaker 2: finish the year with your team.
Speaker 1: They stink, But I would take anthy Richardson. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't want to look that bad. First of all,
Speaker 1: he's not good, like they're both bad. At least with
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson, he can run around and I don't have
Speaker 1: to hate him.
Speaker 3: And Rodgers has a legacy though, at least.
Speaker 1: A legacy of what beating the Bears. Why would I
Speaker 1: want that around?
Speaker 2: I was just trying to test your h hating Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers sucks. He's my least favorite athlete. I don't
Speaker 1: want to say of all time, but I mean, you
Speaker 1: go back.
Speaker 2: I didn't like him.
Speaker 1: I didn't like him when he was normal and good.
Speaker 1: Now he's not good and a freak. So yeah, but
Speaker 1: they're gonna but you have well, you can't use your
Speaker 1: you can't use your heart to bet. You have to
Speaker 1: use your hands.
Speaker 3: Very true.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that how I keep losing money betting against Louisville
Speaker 2: to Clemson and things like that. I got the Jets too.
Speaker 2: There's no scenario where I will put any faith in
Speaker 2: an Anthony Richardson team.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Why why Sports Center at the University of Tulsa.
Speaker 3: I think they're doing like a little midweek pep rally.
Speaker 2: Oh, they just go wherever the game is.
Speaker 1: Yeah, can I Why do we keep showing people's dogs?
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm very sorry that Herbstreet's dog died. That's sad.
Speaker 1: But what when did this? Why are we do why
Speaker 1: do we do this? Why is it like we have
Speaker 1: to see everyone's dogs? Why is that the world loves dogs?
Speaker 3: Wow?
Speaker 1: Why they got me? And dogs are cute?
Speaker 2: Okay, but there are like a zillion dogs, So why
Speaker 2: right now? Dan Mullens on the screen. I would rather
Speaker 2: look at that dog than Dan Mullens.
Speaker 3: Big forehead written, man's best friend.
Speaker 2: The other guy with him? What's his name? Matt Matt Barry, Barry.
Speaker 1: I've interviewed him a bunch and like he he used
Speaker 1: to be a stand up comedian.
Speaker 2: Oh I didn't know.
Speaker 1: That, Yeah, used to keywords.
Speaker 2: I can already. I'm already putting some pieces together.
Speaker 1: And I've hosted again. I think he's a nice guy,
Speaker 1: but if you do a show with him, it's like
Speaker 1: everything you say he's trying to set up like a punchline.
Speaker 1: And at the end of the of a show with him,
Speaker 1: I feel like I've gone fifteen rounds with Tyson, just.
Speaker 2: Like you feel like you're being part of his act
Speaker 2: A little Yeah, No, it's you definitely are.
Speaker 1: It's like, well, where are you from? What do you do?
Speaker 3: A kind to being called coach the entire show.
Speaker 1: No, I like Ian. I like him. I mean he
Speaker 1: just says coach. But like with Matt, it's like anything
Speaker 1: you say, he'll go, oh, really, is that why the
Speaker 1: chicken across the road?
Speaker 2: You're all right, dude, that's the what do you think about? Depress?
Speaker 2: A normal conversation is Dak playing or not?
Speaker 1: Who's next?
Speaker 2: Uh? Your team hosting the Packers right on cue after
Speaker 2: that conversation. Packers are a five point favorite in the
Speaker 2: home of Arci Coola Chicago. Oh, Packers stink.
Speaker 1: I can't cover five that game? Said? That game last
Speaker 1: week was just a It was fruit I mean, we stink.
Speaker 1: And when you sit up high and you can watch
Speaker 1: the plays develop and you see nothing's developing, like, no,
Speaker 1: nothing's developing, No one's open, there's no plays. The offensive
Speaker 1: line gives Caleb a half a second. We steak Packers,
Speaker 1: and Packers are beating us like four hundred straight times.
Speaker 2: So I'll take the Packers. Well, I was gonna pick
Speaker 2: the Bears been after that. I mean, you know them,
Speaker 2: you're at the game. I guess I'll take the Packers too.
Speaker 2: I'm not disagreeing with you on that one, but I
Speaker 2: wasn't on the show Monday. I heard it. But did
Speaker 2: you enjoy your I heard about that, but were you
Speaker 2: like a little kid in there? Yeah?
Speaker 1: It was great. I mean it was cool to see
Speaker 1: where all the guys, like all my like youth heroes played.
Speaker 1: You know, in Chicago, they treat the eighty five Bears.
Speaker 1: Like like in Chicago, the eighty five Bears would be
Speaker 1: like if you went tomorrow Lago, the way they treat Trump,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like like this is their place,
Speaker 1: like the eighty you would think if you went to
Speaker 1: Soldier Field, the eighty five Bears are the only team
Speaker 1: that's ever played there. Yeah, I mean every picture is
Speaker 1: an eighty five Bear, you know there. They don't act
Speaker 1: like there were any players since then.
Speaker 2: Devin Hester can't even get free tickets to Gey. Did
Speaker 2: you play it anything?
Speaker 1: Toilets. There'll be a picture of our locker, But that's it.
Speaker 1: It's all. It's all Walter Payton, Mike Singletary, Dan Hampton,
Speaker 1: Steve McMichael, Jim McMahon.
Speaker 2: They even still wear the like the sweater from that era.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Willie Galt, I mean like it's that's that's the team.
Speaker 1: So it's you know, that was the team of my
Speaker 1: of my youth. So I like that.
Speaker 2: It was nice.
Speaker 1: I mean it's an old stadium and you can tell
Speaker 1: it's old, but it's still it's got tradition and it
Speaker 1: is the windiest place on earth. I mean, the field
Speaker 1: goals look like they were going to fall down the
Speaker 1: gold post. It was so indep but we.
Speaker 2: Steak all right taking the package. Then okay, three more
Speaker 2: sound debt. More down on your team than i'm as
Speaker 2: a Tines fan.
Speaker 1: Well, no, I'm positive long term because we're gonna fire
Speaker 1: Eber suck and then we're gonna get Caleb. Look, we're
Speaker 1: gonna get a different coach. And I still believe in
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams. I'm not ready to give up on him yet.
Speaker 1: But but this year they stink.
Speaker 2: How about a little uh Seahawks at the forty nine ers.
Speaker 2: Forty nine ers trying to find some magic as the
Speaker 2: season goes on. They're a six and a half point favorite.
Speaker 2: Got a little Christian McCarthy McCarthy back or McCaffrey. McCaffrey,
Speaker 2: what do I say, McCarthy ecaffrey. I like the Seahawks
Speaker 2: to cover the six and a half.
Speaker 1: I don't think they win, but six and a half's
Speaker 1: too much for two teams that I think are generally
Speaker 1: in the same ballpark.
Speaker 2: Close trip, you know, Seattle's usually having to go everywhere.
Speaker 1: Seet on San Francisco, you can drive it.
Speaker 2: We know how hard it's gonna be to get to Seattle.
Speaker 2: To and fro Seattle coming out. Yeah, so they don't
Speaker 2: have to worry about that and they don't have to
Speaker 2: go through like the Montana Pass.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: Then I'm Mario going out shop and for rental cars
Speaker 2: to get them to the game. This week. They'll cover
Speaker 2: the six and a half. Twelfth Man might show up.
Speaker 2: I like the Seahawks. Two yep, well we got three more?
Speaker 3: Two more?
Speaker 2: Two more?
Speaker 3: Are sure?
Speaker 2: Okay? Two more? Yes, Chiefs and Bills. It's a great game.
Speaker 2: It is a great game. Three more. I think Chiefs
Speaker 2: and Bills. Bills are a two point favorite, hosting the
Speaker 2: Chiefs that continue to just win games.
Speaker 1: So I think I saw that when Patrick Mahomes is
Speaker 1: a regular season underdogg he's now like nine and one,
Speaker 1: which is a pretty amazing stead. But I do think
Speaker 1: the Bills win this game. If it's if it's January
Speaker 1: and this is the AFC Championship, I'm going to take
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. But in this game, I'm going to take
Speaker 1: the Bills. People are gonna freak and overreact, which I
Speaker 1: want them to do so that I get more points
Speaker 1: when the when the Chiefs make the Super Bowl again,
Speaker 1: and so I will take the Bills though this week.
Speaker 2: I like the Bills here too, not to taking any
Speaker 2: away from the Chiefs, but they have to lose. At
Speaker 2: some point. Teams will just start running the table, and
Speaker 2: this is probably their most difficult test left. I just
Speaker 2: think they slip up. I'm with you, though. If this
Speaker 2: were the playoffs, I'm taking Mahomes in the Chiefs.
Speaker 1: This is the only game, by the way, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: pick against them the rest of them. I mean, I
Speaker 1: will tell you, Billy, just write this down. This is
Speaker 1: the rest of the Chiefs season. They'll lose this game.
Speaker 1: Then people will pick against them multiple games in the
Speaker 1: rest of the year. They'll win all of them, except
Speaker 1: they're gonna drop a random one. They always do, so
Speaker 1: they'll go in the playoffs fifteen and two. There's a
Speaker 1: very good chance they'll still get the one seed because
Speaker 1: the Bills will probably lose one or two more and
Speaker 1: they'll go to the super Bowl. They're gonna be fifteen
Speaker 1: and two though, It's just this is one of the two.
Speaker 2: If they get to the super Bowl, DeAndre Hopkins is
Speaker 2: catching the super Bowl winning touchdown pass because everyone got
Speaker 2: so mad that they were allowed to get him. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that'll just be how they win it.
Speaker 1: It'll be them in the Lions. Now, I'm not I
Speaker 1: could still pick the Lions to beat them, but they're
Speaker 1: getting to the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2: Chiefs.
Speaker 1: That's what they do.
Speaker 2: And they've proven this year the whatever witchcraft they have
Speaker 2: going on where they keep winning these close games, it
Speaker 2: still exists. They've had a couple they could have lost
Speaker 2: this year and managed to pull it off. So we're
Speaker 2: both on the bills.
Speaker 1: Though, who's next?
Speaker 2: We got our Sunday night game two left, Bengals at Chargers.
Speaker 2: Chargers are a one and a half point favorite. Chargers
Speaker 2: have found some life after a rough start to the year.
Speaker 2: Bingles the best team with this record of all time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they have to win. I mean Bingles have to
Speaker 1: win and they're going to the Chargers, So home field
Speaker 1: advantages is nil. Chargers playing well.
Speaker 2: They're playing well, but the who they Okay, they just
Speaker 2: beat the Titans. Okay, three of us and few others
Speaker 2: could beat the Titans. The other win was the Browns.
Speaker 2: I think the other win was the Saints. Soon, other
Speaker 2: records getting better.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take Cincinnati to win on the road just
Speaker 1: because I don't think it matters. Uh, where they their
Speaker 1: home field hasn't really helped them a lot anyway. But
Speaker 1: if the Bengals want to make the playoffs, they can't
Speaker 1: lose this game because this is also probably the team
Speaker 1: they're going to be competing with for that final spot anyway,
Speaker 1: so they've got to win it. I think they know it.
Speaker 1: They rally the troops and they get they get a
Speaker 1: victory in La.
Speaker 2: I actually like the Bengals a lot here. Three of
Speaker 2: their losses are to the Chiefs and Ravens in both
Speaker 2: games were by like a collective four points in all three.
Speaker 2: The Bengals records really unbelievable for how talented offense is.
Speaker 2: I think they'll win this one in La, which takes
Speaker 2: us to Monday night the stadium we've already talked about.
Speaker 2: Sunlight won't be a problem this time. Dallas is hosting Houston.
Speaker 2: The Texans are a seven and a half point favorite,
Speaker 2: and Jerry Jones should be embarrassed that that's even something
Speaker 2: I love to say. That's crazy. I tell you a fun,
Speaker 2: interesting story from my trip this past week before about
Speaker 2: the Cowboys. This thing kind of has my mind. In
Speaker 2: the pretzel, I had a lot of weird celebrity interactions
Speaker 2: this week. I mentioned randomly being at the Yellowstone Premiere,
Speaker 2: not even knowing what was going on. We had an
Speaker 2: early flight on Monday, and my wife were waiting to
Speaker 2: go to the flight and she gets like a Facebook memory,
Speaker 2: you know, pop up. It'll be a picture from ten
Speaker 2: years ago. Yes, and it was her and Jason Garrett
Speaker 2: at a Cowboys game. She got to meet the team.
Speaker 2: That's exciting, and the Cowboys had just gotten killed by
Speaker 2: the Eagles, and she's like, look at this happier times.
Speaker 2: I miss Jason Garrett. Mike McCarthy sucks blah blah blah
Speaker 2: blah blah McCarthy, this Jones that we go to the airport,
Speaker 2: I'm on an escalator when those double escalators directly beside me,
Speaker 2: like our elbow is pretty much touching Jason Garrett ten
Speaker 2: years to the day after they took a photo and
Speaker 2: I immediately scream at seven in the morning, I'm like, hey, Abby,
Speaker 2: look and she shows him the photo. This man pulled
Speaker 2: over his luggage very early at the gardy. I mean,
Speaker 2: it is like everybody's just waking up and talked to
Speaker 2: her for like ten minutes, talked about going to the
Speaker 2: derby talked to a little football, might have told him
Speaker 2: we wanted back, which I'd have been an exaggeration on that,
Speaker 2: but what a random I'm not kidding. She's like, look
Speaker 2: at this photo from ten years ago Jason Garrett. And
Speaker 2: then two hours later we're talking to jasonari Airport.
Speaker 1: Really nice, you know, But I would also say, like,
Speaker 1: what else, Like how many people stop Jason Garrett?
Speaker 2: You think, well, there's a little bit of that, but
Speaker 2: also it's very early and nobody wants to be there,
Speaker 2: and he could have said hi, taking a picture and
Speaker 2: moved on. He talked about making his Derby bets and
Speaker 2: what do we like in Kentucky? So, you know, even
Speaker 2: though I was even though he was the clapper and
Speaker 2: we were kind of ready for cowboys to make a
Speaker 2: change now if they suck, it was good seeing Jason Garrett.
Speaker 1: Do you ever get stopped Billy? Like, does anyone ever
Speaker 1: say are you Billy from KSR? No?
Speaker 3: Believe it or not? Like never, Well until I talk,
Speaker 3: like I'll if I'm in public and I'm talking to
Speaker 3: somebody or the fiance, That's how I would get that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so like no one recognizes.
Speaker 3: Not my face? Huh, what about you? Oh yeah, I
Speaker 3: mean everywhere, right, I mean.
Speaker 1: Not everywhere, but like a lot of times, you know people.
Speaker 1: I walked in Chipotle today a guy was listening to
Speaker 1: the show loud, like just sitting in the restaurant. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the guy was just like listening, which was nice. And
Speaker 1: then what was weird is I think he saw me
Speaker 1: and then he turned it off. I think he was like,
Speaker 1: didn't want you know the which which is fine. And
Speaker 1: then he said.
Speaker 2: Hello, and that was what he did.
Speaker 1: Say Hi, Okay, yeah, no he did.
Speaker 2: Most people.
Speaker 1: Most people just say hey, Matt, love the show and
Speaker 1: then and then go on.
Speaker 3: You spend a lot of time in Louisville, so it's
Speaker 3: not hostile.
Speaker 1: Love is much easier because in Louisville, especially where I said,
Speaker 1: where I live, nobody knows. Yeah. I haven't had a
Speaker 1: lot of hostile reactions, although I did have one recently.
Speaker 2: Have I have? I told you should? I tell him
Speaker 2: it's a podcast where we talk to each other. I mean,
Speaker 2: Billy's told us he wants to get into swinging. I
Speaker 2: feel like he's open down. I kind of like Norton gummas.
Speaker 1: I kind of like gave somebody I don't know what
Speaker 1: the word to use is the finger.
Speaker 2: No, it's worse than that.
Speaker 1: Kind of gave somebody like a little mini love tap
Speaker 1: on the face.
Speaker 3: Oh wow, I did not hear this story.
Speaker 1: I mean, I wouldn't call it a smack, but I
Speaker 1: also wouldn't call it just like it was. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: was kind of like a like that. Yeah, it was
Speaker 1: like more like you know how you see movies and
Speaker 1: Italians will kind of be like but to people they
Speaker 1: loved them kind of go you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: it's kind of like a little bit.
Speaker 2: It was kind of like that, and he wouldn't shut.
Speaker 3: Up, so you just put your hands on him.
Speaker 1: So two of my friends, I won't say who because
Speaker 1: I don't want to put them in the middle of it,
Speaker 1: but but I went out with two of my friends.
Speaker 1: We went to this bar a guy. It was clear
Speaker 1: like there was a wedding party or something going on,
Speaker 1: and then the bar was full. It was like right
Speaker 1: across the street from a Catholic picnic, and so they
Speaker 1: were like everybody was hammered. And the moment I walk in,
Speaker 1: this dude just starts yelling at me and he starts
Speaker 1: to go in. Matt Jones, you suck, Matt Jones, you bleeping,
Speaker 1: like just won't stop, like a couple of minutes. So
Speaker 1: I'm going, you know what I'm gonna. So I walk
Speaker 1: to the other side of the bar. He keeps hollering
Speaker 1: at me from the other side of the bar, I mean,
Speaker 1: won't stop. And at this point it's just me and
Speaker 1: my friend. The other one comes later, so it gets
Speaker 1: so bad. I'm just like, let's just go. You know,
Speaker 1: this is not enjoyable because he's drunk and he won't stop.
Speaker 1: As we're walking out the door, a woman stops me
Speaker 1: that I know and I haven't seen her in a decade,
Speaker 1: probably right, probably a decade. She gives me a hug
Speaker 1: and like it was nice to see her. I hadn't
Speaker 1: seen her in forever. At that point, what I don't
Speaker 1: realize is like he had gotten his group and now
Speaker 1: they've kind of enclosed the area, and he starts hollering again,
Speaker 1: and now he's from like me to drman and I
Speaker 1: have not said a word, and he keeps going and
Speaker 1: he keeps going, and finally I didn't say anything to him.
Speaker 1: One of my friends is between me and him, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, dude, what is your deal? And he says
Speaker 1: something again that I don't know what made me do it,
Speaker 1: but I just went, wow, it was so unlike me.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: Well, then I think the girl trying to make peace,
Speaker 1: like re gets my attention and engages me, and I
Speaker 1: start talking to her. And here's what I didn't realize.
Speaker 1: According to my friends, like the troops start mounting right like,
Speaker 1: the wedding party comes together, and according to my friend,
Speaker 1: he's like, things were not looking good. So my friend goes,
Speaker 1: let's get out of here, and I was like, but
Speaker 1: I'm talking too, and they grabbed me like the secret
Speaker 1: Service and pushed me out.
Speaker 2: The door, and I'm like, what's going on. It's fine,
Speaker 2: He was just deep.
Speaker 1: They were like let's go, let's go, let's go, and
Speaker 1: they're like pushing me down the street and then they're
Speaker 1: like just trust me. We get in the car and
Speaker 1: they go, I can't believe we got out there. They
Speaker 1: said there were like fifteen guys they thought ready.
Speaker 3: To Yeah, the whole wedding group ready to go.
Speaker 1: That's what they said.
Speaker 2: And then when we drove by, they were all out
Speaker 2: on the porch of the bar like looking. So you
Speaker 2: yell at him. Then, see you're scared. You don't want this.
Speaker 1: No, I mean I wasn't. It was he totally. It
Speaker 1: was his fault. I think I shocked him.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm surprised to swing right there.
Speaker 1: No, just it was probably some lawyer like or you know,
Speaker 1: some accountant like. It wasn't like a tough it was
Speaker 1: just it was just a mouthy Louisville thing, right. But
Speaker 1: I do think I shocked them with the reaction. He
Speaker 1: shocked me shocked myself. I really did, I could. I
Speaker 1: couldn't believe I did it, and then I didn't know
Speaker 1: whether to feel proud.
Speaker 2: I mean, I didn't do like it. What didn't hurt them?
Speaker 3: He was like literally like like that, and you're like that,
Speaker 3: stop messing around, buddy smack.
Speaker 1: Kind of like if you had hit him on the shoulder,
Speaker 1: nobody would have even nobody would But I don't know
Speaker 1: what made me be like.
Speaker 2: So, you know, I couldn't believe I did it, but
Speaker 2: I did. So is that your your most intense Oh No,
Speaker 2: I've had people be much worse to me.
Speaker 1: That's probably my biggest. I hit somebody in like two
Speaker 1: thousand and six, so again kind of similar but maybe
Speaker 1: a little harder.
Speaker 3: Yeah, hand open.
Speaker 1: Hand, open I'm a handopen guy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just you just want to let him know you're there. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I try to do long term damage.
Speaker 1: And that person and Iraq say, like kind of friends
Speaker 1: are friendly now, but it wasn't. It wasn't at the time,
Speaker 1: but since then.
Speaker 3: I've been pretty wow, well you've got good friends.
Speaker 1: My mom didn't want me to run for office for
Speaker 1: that reason. My mom not because she thought the video
Speaker 1: will hit people, but she just thought. She was like,
Speaker 1: you can't. She goes, people are too nasty to you,
Speaker 1: and you just like you don't have it in you
Speaker 1: to just ignore it. And I ignore it more than most,
Speaker 1: but it isn't easy.
Speaker 3: It's like I told that one guy to show up
Speaker 3: and he did.
Speaker 2: Remember, Yeah, Philly told the where was that? Tell me
Speaker 2: that again?
Speaker 3: It was like the weak cow left Kentucky. So I
Speaker 3: was doing the r yeah, and he showed up at
Speaker 3: the bar and the guy was talking mad crap on
Speaker 3: the text line.
Speaker 1: So I just told him to show up and then
Speaker 1: he did.
Speaker 3: And not like we didn't know it was him, but
Speaker 3: he like showed up and like didn't say anything and
Speaker 3: then was like really weird.
Speaker 2: And I remember that now. Yeah, I wouldn't dare anyone
Speaker 2: in your inbox that seems like the I don't know
Speaker 2: that guy. If they seem a little off, I wouldn't
Speaker 2: dare them to show up.
Speaker 1: But I listen, that was the first time that had
Speaker 1: happened in a long time with people being like that.
Speaker 1: Usually it's not that bad, like people in Louisville. But
Speaker 1: that dude, he just wouldn't stop. And you know, we
Speaker 1: all have a breaking point. He got what was coming sometimes.
Speaker 1: That's why that's why I defended Jason Kelsey so much.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like it's easy to.
Speaker 1: Say Jason walk away, but you don't You don't know
Speaker 1: what that's like until somebody does it to you, you know.
Speaker 3: So and with that, you're taking the Cowboys.
Speaker 1: With that, taking the Bengals on the road at the Chargers,
Speaker 1: Billy uh, Dallas.
Speaker 2: We got to Dallas. That was our built lead into
Speaker 2: the Cowboys. Texans. Oh so that analysis Texans. I will
