WEBVTT - Sports Fandom with Max Greenfield

0:00:03.840 --> 0:00:08.480
<v Speaker 1>From the King of sports Books comes the Key sports

0:00:08.520 --> 0:00:18.880
<v Speaker 1>podcast Unleashed, presented by the MGM. Here's your host, Jerry

0:00:18.920 --> 0:00:31.240
<v Speaker 1>Ferrara and Olivia Harlan Decker. Welcome, Welcome, Welcome to Unleashed.

0:00:31.240 --> 0:00:35.720
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to November. What a great month of football, of NBA,

0:00:36.440 --> 0:00:39.080
<v Speaker 1>of World Series still to play that we have left November,

0:00:39.120 --> 0:00:42.120
<v Speaker 1>such a great month. Week nine of the NFL season.

0:00:42.200 --> 0:00:44.839
<v Speaker 1>It's basically the midway point and things are starting to

0:00:44.880 --> 0:00:49.520
<v Speaker 1>take shape. Contenders from pretenders. Who's real? Who isn't? Jerry?

0:00:49.560 --> 0:00:51.200
<v Speaker 1>For all right, you are real? What do you think

0:00:51.560 --> 0:00:55.120
<v Speaker 1>I am real? The month of October was absolutely bananas.

0:00:55.160 --> 0:00:57.520
<v Speaker 1>I can only imagine what November hasn't store for us

0:00:57.640 --> 0:00:59.880
<v Speaker 1>now that basketball is in the mix. We gotta go

0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:04.120
<v Speaker 1>one today, Olivia, Okay. Our guest today is a personal

0:01:04.200 --> 0:01:06.760
<v Speaker 1>friend of mine. He's a massive sports fan as well.

0:01:06.840 --> 0:01:08.959
<v Speaker 1>Him and I go back to fantasy leagues into the

0:01:09.000 --> 0:01:12.039
<v Speaker 1>early two thousands. He's also an actor who you might

0:01:12.080 --> 0:01:14.520
<v Speaker 1>know from the show New Girl. He's on the Neighborhood

0:01:14.520 --> 0:01:17.720
<v Speaker 1>Now on CBS with Cedric the Entertainer, great show. Other

0:01:17.840 --> 0:01:20.919
<v Speaker 1>bunch of movies. I'll talk about Max Greenfield. I always

0:01:20.920 --> 0:01:25.760
<v Speaker 1>say two things about Max if acting and in sports

0:01:25.880 --> 0:01:28.119
<v Speaker 1>or anything alike. Him and I were of the same

0:01:28.200 --> 0:01:31.320
<v Speaker 1>rookie class. We uh, we did a movie together back

0:01:31.319 --> 0:01:34.920
<v Speaker 1>in like twenty two thousand one that sort of launched

0:01:35.040 --> 0:01:37.959
<v Speaker 1>us for sure. And also I've been thinking about this.

0:01:38.200 --> 0:01:40.080
<v Speaker 1>You know, like when you fill out a form at

0:01:40.120 --> 0:01:42.039
<v Speaker 1>a doctor's office or at a gym, when they say

0:01:42.080 --> 0:01:45.640
<v Speaker 1>your emergency contact, like you put Sam, I put Bree.

0:01:46.240 --> 0:01:49.600
<v Speaker 1>We all have sports emergency contacts, like who is that

0:01:49.640 --> 0:01:53.960
<v Speaker 1>first person you call when some stuff happened. Max Greenfield

0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:58.800
<v Speaker 1>arguably my my number one sports contact emergency just for

0:01:58.840 --> 0:02:01.480
<v Speaker 1>the Knicks, for the Nicks, for the Giants. We'll get

0:02:01.480 --> 0:02:03.680
<v Speaker 1>into that with him because he you know, he's similar

0:02:03.720 --> 0:02:05.240
<v Speaker 1>to me. He grew up in New York, but a

0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:07.880
<v Speaker 1>lot of time in l A. So I think I

0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:09.720
<v Speaker 1>think he's New York like I, but he I think

0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:12.040
<v Speaker 1>it's a little more eclectic. And I think because he said,

0:02:12.040 --> 0:02:15.200
<v Speaker 1>it's you know, mid season with football. Max also was

0:02:15.280 --> 0:02:18.560
<v Speaker 1>a multiple Emmy nominee. He knows the thing about awards shows.

0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:22.720
<v Speaker 1>Maybe we do a little mid season NFL Awards with

0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:25.480
<v Speaker 1>with Max. Oh. I like that. I like that a lot,

0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:27.840
<v Speaker 1>especially with some injuries now I feel like in the

0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:29.840
<v Speaker 1>past week. That's going to affect some of those lines.

0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:32.000
<v Speaker 1>So oh yeah, we got to look into that. What

0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:34.720
<v Speaker 1>I didn't realize about Max Jerry is that he went

0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:38.639
<v Speaker 1>to University of Wisconsin. That's so random. Yes, I don't know.

0:02:39.200 --> 0:02:41.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't believe he was a four year grad. I

0:02:41.840 --> 0:02:48.440
<v Speaker 1>don't know about that. I forget. I think, yeah, I

0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:51.800
<v Speaker 1>think he's like a year or two. Yes, Max opted

0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:55.600
<v Speaker 1>for the the Hollywood Draft instead of the NBA Draft

0:02:55.600 --> 0:02:59.240
<v Speaker 1>and left college early. I like it. I like it. Well, yeah,

0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:02.120
<v Speaker 1>we'll talk some, like you said, NFL honors especially, but

0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:05.360
<v Speaker 1>we'll get into NFL headlines. But I'm just like bursting

0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:08.440
<v Speaker 1>at the seams because I think the best college football

0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:11.760
<v Speaker 1>game is this weekend. It's number one versus Number two

0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:15.480
<v Speaker 1>Tennessee traveling to U g A to take on my bulldogs.

0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:18.799
<v Speaker 1>Um I am. I am so excited for this one.

0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:21.560
<v Speaker 1>Also because Jerry I just found out I think this

0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:24.360
<v Speaker 1>week that I'm going to be working the sidelines for

0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:27.079
<v Speaker 1>the SEC Championship. I've done it like four or five years,

0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:30.000
<v Speaker 1>and yeah, being in London this year, I wasn't sure

0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:31.720
<v Speaker 1>if I was gonna able to make it to the

0:03:31.760 --> 0:03:35.640
<v Speaker 1>Mercedes Benz Dome in Atlanta. It is Oh my god,

0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:37.440
<v Speaker 1>it's one of my favorite assignments. I do it for

0:03:37.480 --> 0:03:39.840
<v Speaker 1>Westwood One Radio, So yeah, I just found out I'm

0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:42.240
<v Speaker 1>doing that. So now I'm extra tuned in because I

0:03:42.240 --> 0:03:44.200
<v Speaker 1>want to know who's going to be representing the East.

0:03:44.800 --> 0:03:46.640
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, a couple of things that this is. I

0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:49.880
<v Speaker 1>feel like for you, this was almost you definitely must

0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:53.480
<v Speaker 1>have done that. Gosh, do I fly back home for this? Like?

0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:55.920
<v Speaker 1>Do I try to get back to the States to

0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:58.320
<v Speaker 1>watch this one in person now? Especially since you're gonna

0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:01.040
<v Speaker 1>be doing you know, some report warding. I know it's

0:04:01.080 --> 0:04:03.440
<v Speaker 1>hard though you're all the way over there. Also, I'm

0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:05.520
<v Speaker 1>gonna take a little bit of a cheap shot. This

0:04:05.560 --> 0:04:07.240
<v Speaker 1>game has to mean a lot to you, being not

0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:11.520
<v Speaker 1>your NFL seasons over. My NFL season is halfway over.

0:04:11.600 --> 0:04:14.800
<v Speaker 1>Because that's why I have two teams. I got the Chiefs.

0:04:14.880 --> 0:04:19.320
<v Speaker 1>Chiefs are cooking the Chiefs. You're alive. But those Packs

0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:22.240
<v Speaker 1>I expected a lot more. I expected the Packers to

0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:25.640
<v Speaker 1>put up a fight at least, and it's just not there.

0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:27.680
<v Speaker 1>The fight's not there. So but anyway, that's this is

0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:29.400
<v Speaker 1>a great game for you. I think you should bite

0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:31.040
<v Speaker 1>your tongue on that a little bit, and we've probably

0:04:31.040 --> 0:04:33.559
<v Speaker 1>given too much air time to the Packers. I thought

0:04:33.560 --> 0:04:38.719
<v Speaker 1>the Packers gave the Bills everything they had. They didn't

0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:43.320
<v Speaker 1>have Alan Lazard. Maybe with the spread they almost covered ten.

0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:46.440
<v Speaker 1>I feel like it was a valiant effort. Bills, I mean,

0:04:46.520 --> 0:04:51.239
<v Speaker 1>second half, Bills weren't a super Bowl winning looking team

0:04:51.320 --> 0:04:53.360
<v Speaker 1>like we've been chalking them up to be. And and

0:04:53.400 --> 0:04:55.719
<v Speaker 1>to be fair, I still think they are the best

0:04:55.720 --> 0:04:57.640
<v Speaker 1>team in the NFL. I think they're better than the Eagles.

0:04:57.760 --> 0:05:00.320
<v Speaker 1>I sometimes like them better than the Chiefs. But look,

0:05:00.880 --> 0:05:05.039
<v Speaker 1>I mean, second half, what's the game? Sure, I think

0:05:05.040 --> 0:05:07.440
<v Speaker 1>at that point for Buffalo it's like, all right, let's

0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:11.200
<v Speaker 1>get out of here unscathed, let's try to stay healthy.

0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:13.240
<v Speaker 1>I do think they're right now the Bills are better

0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:15.679
<v Speaker 1>than the Eagles, but it's real close. I'm gonna say

0:05:15.760 --> 0:05:19.720
<v Speaker 1>something crazy right now because also, like I went back

0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:22.960
<v Speaker 1>to some of our earlier show notes and prepping from Max,

0:05:23.080 --> 0:05:26.080
<v Speaker 1>and I saw I haven't written in this notebook that

0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:30.080
<v Speaker 1>you guys can't see at home. My Seahawks plus beautiful.

0:05:30.160 --> 0:05:33.320
<v Speaker 1>We'll get to that. But also I did predict the

0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:37.520
<v Speaker 1>Texans will have one huge upset this year. They always

0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:40.039
<v Speaker 1>do it. It's when it's when you least expect it.

0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:45.640
<v Speaker 1>What better option than a plus five hundred underdog against

0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:48.479
<v Speaker 1>the Eagles at home on a Thursday night with Al

0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:51.400
<v Speaker 1>Michael's doing the Amazon Prime game, Like, get me out

0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:54.520
<v Speaker 1>of here? What bet? Look, it's not gonna happen, but

0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:57.600
<v Speaker 1>you bet your life. I'm gonna be betting some small

0:05:57.680 --> 0:06:00.520
<v Speaker 1>money on the Houston Texans on the money line and

0:06:00.640 --> 0:06:04.040
<v Speaker 1>to cover the plus thirteen verse. You're taking Texans money

0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:06.800
<v Speaker 1>line for sure? First of all, how else are you

0:06:06.839 --> 0:06:10.120
<v Speaker 1>gonna watch that game? Realistically? What's like? How else are

0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:12.280
<v Speaker 1>you going to watch that? Is it out yet? Yeah?

0:06:12.320 --> 0:06:15.560
<v Speaker 1>I think they're all plus five hundred on the money line,

0:06:15.600 --> 0:06:19.000
<v Speaker 1>which is incredibly seven hundred. That's going to be moving

0:06:19.000 --> 0:06:21.000
<v Speaker 1>around a lot. And yeah, I think right now that

0:06:21.040 --> 0:06:24.080
<v Speaker 1>Texas are plus thirteen. So I'm gonna have a bunch

0:06:24.080 --> 0:06:27.960
<v Speaker 1>of Texans bets because how else? Crazy? Well, how I'm look,

0:06:28.160 --> 0:06:31.120
<v Speaker 1>it's not gonna be big a lotto tickets stuff. How

0:06:31.160 --> 0:06:33.760
<v Speaker 1>else are we gonna watch this game? Olivia? How else?

0:06:34.360 --> 0:06:36.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean? I don't know. Hey, they only lost by

0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:40.159
<v Speaker 1>seven to Tennessee, and that's what Derrick Henry doing his things.

0:06:40.240 --> 0:06:42.960
<v Speaker 1>So I love that you've had confidence in some of

0:06:43.000 --> 0:06:46.840
<v Speaker 1>these lowly teams and you are looking like the smartest

0:06:46.839 --> 0:06:49.560
<v Speaker 1>guy in the room. Right now, there's Seahawks bed. I'm,

0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:51.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm I've been cheering for the Seahawks for you. I

0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:54.080
<v Speaker 1>wish I had like Venmody some cash so you could

0:06:54.080 --> 0:06:58.120
<v Speaker 1>have placed because I can't do it here in London. Well,

0:06:58.360 --> 0:07:00.279
<v Speaker 1>I want to ask Max too, and I'll ask you

0:07:00.520 --> 0:07:02.000
<v Speaker 1>or I can ask you guys together though, but like

0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:04.760
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna start getting to the point where I could

0:07:04.800 --> 0:07:07.039
<v Speaker 1>like cash in that ticket if I want for less.

0:07:07.279 --> 0:07:10.080
<v Speaker 1>That's how good the bet is looking. I'm not a

0:07:10.120 --> 0:07:12.880
<v Speaker 1>split pot guy. I don't hedge. I should it's the

0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:16.000
<v Speaker 1>smarter thing sometimes to do. But and this, yeah, this

0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:18.480
<v Speaker 1>past weekend, it was tough watching Seahawks Giants. It's like

0:07:18.520 --> 0:07:21.560
<v Speaker 1>my two favorite teams of the year, so it really

0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:24.600
<v Speaker 1>was no lose situation for me. I hate that the

0:07:24.600 --> 0:07:28.800
<v Speaker 1>Giants lost, but you know, Seahawks are rolling. They are Yeah,

0:07:28.840 --> 0:07:31.720
<v Speaker 1>this is this is very exciting top of the NFC West.

0:07:32.120 --> 0:07:34.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, it's it's it's really interesting with this

0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:37.240
<v Speaker 1>young Seahawks team. And I heard uh, I think it

0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:39.640
<v Speaker 1>was Colin Coward was talking about it, and it really

0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:42.400
<v Speaker 1>makes sense with Seattle, is that Pete Carroll all the

0:07:42.440 --> 0:07:45.560
<v Speaker 1>success he had at the college level at USC it

0:07:45.720 --> 0:07:47.720
<v Speaker 1>shows because this is such a young team. They have

0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:51.440
<v Speaker 1>this amazing rookie class and whatever it is he gets

0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:54.440
<v Speaker 1>through to younger guys with like less skin in the game,

0:07:54.520 --> 0:07:56.400
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean, Guys who aren't making these

0:07:56.640 --> 0:07:59.800
<v Speaker 1>max contracts, Guys who aren't, you know, so phased on

0:08:00.000 --> 0:08:01.960
<v Speaker 1>the politics of the league or stuff. You know, it's

0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:07.000
<v Speaker 1>it's a susceptible, vulnerable group of young NFL players who

0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:10.040
<v Speaker 1>are still able to be molded by a guy who's

0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:14.360
<v Speaker 1>as moving and excitable as Pete Carroll. And Pete Carroll

0:08:14.640 --> 0:08:17.280
<v Speaker 1>is having so much fun on that sideline like it's

0:08:17.360 --> 0:08:20.040
<v Speaker 1>it's a blast watch his team talent up and down

0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:22.960
<v Speaker 1>the roster, young talent on both sides of the ball,

0:08:23.120 --> 0:08:26.400
<v Speaker 1>starters who are rookies. I just I love watching your Seahawks.

0:08:26.920 --> 0:08:31.120
<v Speaker 1>And if nothing else to Tyler Lockett, who is probably

0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:34.400
<v Speaker 1>one of the longest tenured vets there in that postgame

0:08:34.520 --> 0:08:39.160
<v Speaker 1>interview another I mean, Russell Wilson just catching heat all

0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:42.600
<v Speaker 1>over everywhere. Returns someone's taking shots, just saying like it's

0:08:42.600 --> 0:08:46.600
<v Speaker 1>amazing what you could do when no one cares who

0:08:46.600 --> 0:08:48.280
<v Speaker 1>gets the credit. And that's what it seems like with

0:08:48.320 --> 0:08:51.679
<v Speaker 1>the Seahawks team and the other scary thing that's back

0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:54.560
<v Speaker 1>and it didn't really go anywhere, but it's officially back.

0:08:55.400 --> 0:08:58.240
<v Speaker 1>You don't want to go in the Seattle to play.

0:08:58.280 --> 0:09:01.040
<v Speaker 1>That is by far. I think that is it. We

0:09:01.080 --> 0:09:03.880
<v Speaker 1>always know, we always talk about that home field advantage

0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:08.040
<v Speaker 1>and is back with a vengeance. And they got a

0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:11.480
<v Speaker 1>lot of home games left, so they do, but not

0:09:11.600 --> 0:09:14.880
<v Speaker 1>this weekend at Cardinals. And I don't know what your

0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:17.679
<v Speaker 1>thoughts are on this last game for Arizona. I know

0:09:17.720 --> 0:09:19.600
<v Speaker 1>a lot of talk and we touched on it last

0:09:19.640 --> 0:09:22.400
<v Speaker 1>week about Kyler Murray and Cliff Kingsbury and when he

0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:24.920
<v Speaker 1>yells to the sideline, you know, what do you say,

0:09:25.000 --> 0:09:27.760
<v Speaker 1>shut the f up? Or whatever he said, And it's

0:09:27.800 --> 0:09:30.760
<v Speaker 1>like watching if you have that couple who are friends

0:09:30.760 --> 0:09:32.520
<v Speaker 1>of yours, who you're like, man, they're not going to

0:09:32.640 --> 0:09:34.760
<v Speaker 1>last more than a couple of years. You're like, all

0:09:34.800 --> 0:09:38.160
<v Speaker 1>they do with those two is like everyone knows that couple,

0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:40.440
<v Speaker 1>you know. I feel like that's how I look at

0:09:40.520 --> 0:09:44.280
<v Speaker 1>Kyler and Cliff, what's your read on what we saw

0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:46.640
<v Speaker 1>from the Cardinals this past weekend? You know, with the

0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:49.680
<v Speaker 1>hop back, it's it's a different team, but it's not enough. Well,

0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:53.520
<v Speaker 1>as someone who actually lost the fair amount of money

0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:55.760
<v Speaker 1>on the Cardinals last weekend, because I just thought they

0:09:55.760 --> 0:09:58.439
<v Speaker 1>were in a great spot, I really did, and they

0:09:58.480 --> 0:10:03.040
<v Speaker 1>had multiple opportunity ease to win that game. Uh yeah,

0:10:03.120 --> 0:10:05.000
<v Speaker 1>I totally agree with you, but I will make the

0:10:05.040 --> 0:10:08.880
<v Speaker 1>tiny argument of like sometimes those couples, even though you

0:10:08.920 --> 0:10:10.840
<v Speaker 1>know maybe their time is limited, it does go like

0:10:10.880 --> 0:10:16.800
<v Speaker 1>ten years, like it's that like volcanic relationships. So look,

0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:19.400
<v Speaker 1>it was great to see Hopkins back to We all

0:10:19.440 --> 0:10:23.360
<v Speaker 1>forgot how good Hopkins is because he was out so long.

0:10:23.880 --> 0:10:26.480
<v Speaker 1>So I think Arizona I really thought they were going

0:10:26.520 --> 0:10:28.960
<v Speaker 1>to get that game and they needed it. But I

0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:32.000
<v Speaker 1>do think if they could get Hopkins going like they

0:10:32.040 --> 0:10:34.400
<v Speaker 1>have and get a little healthier, they're not in a

0:10:34.440 --> 0:10:37.400
<v Speaker 1>bad spot again, because that division is one of the

0:10:37.440 --> 0:10:40.960
<v Speaker 1>many that are just crazy. They're not in a terrible spot. Although, yeah,

0:10:41.040 --> 0:10:44.599
<v Speaker 1>the Cliff Kyler thing, Uh yeah, it's like going to

0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:48.719
<v Speaker 1>get covered by US Weekly soon. They're tumultuous relationship. Oh yeah,

0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:53.360
<v Speaker 1>so they are at Washington this Sunday. Obviously Minnesota won

0:10:53.360 --> 0:10:58.520
<v Speaker 1>that game. Minnesota, they are cooking. It is hard to

0:10:58.559 --> 0:11:00.160
<v Speaker 1>imagine there's a world in which they don't. When the

0:11:00.240 --> 0:11:04.640
<v Speaker 1>NFC North, the Aaron Rodgers Invitational is now all there's

0:11:05.080 --> 0:11:07.640
<v Speaker 1>what do you make of what they're doing, and especially

0:11:07.640 --> 0:11:10.199
<v Speaker 1>when they're in kind of that early Sunday time slot

0:11:10.280 --> 0:11:12.360
<v Speaker 1>like they've got coming up. I mean, I don't see

0:11:12.400 --> 0:11:14.880
<v Speaker 1>him losing a game on their schedule coming up. They've

0:11:14.920 --> 0:11:19.640
<v Speaker 1>answered every question, even though sometimes not impressively, about their team.

0:11:19.880 --> 0:11:21.880
<v Speaker 1>No one I've seen puts them in their top five

0:11:21.920 --> 0:11:24.760
<v Speaker 1>when you see all the other talking head shows and

0:11:24.760 --> 0:11:27.440
<v Speaker 1>stuff like that. Minnesota does not crack the top five

0:11:27.480 --> 0:11:30.040
<v Speaker 1>in power rankings. So they're still they still have that

0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:34.000
<v Speaker 1>we're not getting our respect thing, which it works, it's great,

0:11:34.320 --> 0:11:37.360
<v Speaker 1>but they're such a lead. If they could nail down

0:11:37.480 --> 0:11:41.280
<v Speaker 1>like two more wins, put the nail and the coffin

0:11:41.360 --> 0:11:43.920
<v Speaker 1>for the Packers, like I think, you really start doing

0:11:43.920 --> 0:11:47.199
<v Speaker 1>pitch count stuff like the Dalvin Cooks and stuff. I

0:11:47.200 --> 0:11:49.199
<v Speaker 1>I know that's not what we all want to hear

0:11:49.280 --> 0:11:51.400
<v Speaker 1>and and and any other sport I get, but with

0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:53.680
<v Speaker 1>football especially someone has been little injury prone. You just

0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:57.240
<v Speaker 1>at that point, Now, how do we get healthy for

0:11:57.280 --> 0:11:59.120
<v Speaker 1>the playoffs? And then I mean, I don't know, they

0:11:59.120 --> 0:12:01.720
<v Speaker 1>could challenge the goals of the Eagles lose to the Texans,

0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:04.400
<v Speaker 1>Like I'm predicting, there's a one seed at steak that

0:12:04.520 --> 0:12:06.920
<v Speaker 1>is now more important than ever. Yeah, I know, you're right.

0:12:07.200 --> 0:12:10.200
<v Speaker 1>It's interesting you mentioned Russell Wilson earlier when we were

0:12:10.200 --> 0:12:14.240
<v Speaker 1>talking about Seattle and that game no one freaking watched

0:12:14.240 --> 0:12:17.280
<v Speaker 1>because it was on ESPN Plus. It took me a

0:12:17.280 --> 0:12:18.960
<v Speaker 1>minute to find that one. I'm not gonna lie, it

0:12:18.960 --> 0:12:21.120
<v Speaker 1>took me a minute. That was that was such a

0:12:21.120 --> 0:12:22.600
<v Speaker 1>slap in the face. I have a friend who worked

0:12:22.600 --> 0:12:24.200
<v Speaker 1>for the Broncos. We got together when they were in

0:12:24.240 --> 0:12:26.480
<v Speaker 1>London and I was like, oh, you know what, I

0:12:26.600 --> 0:12:29.600
<v Speaker 1>love these London games. You know, obviously went to Packers Giants,

0:12:29.640 --> 0:12:31.600
<v Speaker 1>but I love when I can just watch a game

0:12:31.600 --> 0:12:34.360
<v Speaker 1>in the middle of a Sunday over here. And I

0:12:34.400 --> 0:12:36.559
<v Speaker 1>was like, yeah, and by the way, who's who's airing that?

0:12:36.800 --> 0:12:39.600
<v Speaker 1>And and she said, ah, it's ESPN Plus. What a

0:12:39.600 --> 0:12:41.800
<v Speaker 1>slap in the face. I know they were competing against

0:12:41.800 --> 0:12:44.360
<v Speaker 1>all the pregame shows. You know, that's a and Jared,

0:12:44.480 --> 0:12:46.760
<v Speaker 1>you and I because of your background and then my

0:12:46.840 --> 0:12:51.479
<v Speaker 1>background in TV, I feel like we love the programming nonsense.

0:12:52.200 --> 0:12:54.880
<v Speaker 1>It's great, I think a very interesting part of sports.

0:12:55.120 --> 0:12:57.640
<v Speaker 1>Obviously your Saturday super Bowl stuff, all of that we've

0:12:57.679 --> 0:13:00.440
<v Speaker 1>talked about. But this one was kind of a head

0:13:00.480 --> 0:13:02.839
<v Speaker 1>scratcher for me because it was a standalone game, had

0:13:02.840 --> 0:13:06.120
<v Speaker 1>no competition, and they bumped it for all of the

0:13:06.200 --> 0:13:10.760
<v Speaker 1>pregame shows that do so much better than these two drowning,

0:13:10.920 --> 0:13:14.559
<v Speaker 1>floundering teams could have done. I mean, then why do

0:13:14.640 --> 0:13:16.760
<v Speaker 1>we why did we ship these two off to England?

0:13:16.880 --> 0:13:19.520
<v Speaker 1>You know what I mean? What a horrible game in

0:13:19.600 --> 0:13:23.520
<v Speaker 1>London to put on a subpar streaming platform. Just how

0:13:23.720 --> 0:13:28.200
<v Speaker 1>many more isolated Russell Wilson games are we gonna be

0:13:29.520 --> 0:13:31.320
<v Speaker 1>have to sit through? Like, I know, this is not

0:13:31.400 --> 0:13:34.640
<v Speaker 1>a primetime game, it's a prime morning game. There's nothing

0:13:34.640 --> 0:13:36.400
<v Speaker 1>else on, so we're all like, yeah, let's put that

0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:39.400
<v Speaker 1>on with the coffee. Look, it's gonna be real interesting.

0:13:39.400 --> 0:13:41.200
<v Speaker 1>What the Broncos do going for I don't know why

0:13:41.240 --> 0:13:44.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm still staying. Why is Jerry Judy's name in every

0:13:44.360 --> 0:13:47.280
<v Speaker 1>is in trade rumors? Why is hen? Like I'm just

0:13:47.360 --> 0:13:50.800
<v Speaker 1>so confusing how you could make this move, spend hundreds

0:13:50.800 --> 0:13:52.240
<v Speaker 1>of millions of dollars on the quarterback and the like,

0:13:52.280 --> 0:13:54.839
<v Speaker 1>let's blow it up. It's just one of the more

0:13:54.880 --> 0:13:58.640
<v Speaker 1>bizarre things. I'm sick of the Broncos. I'm actually sick

0:13:58.679 --> 0:14:01.400
<v Speaker 1>of taking shots at Russell Wilson. I think we've done

0:14:01.400 --> 0:14:04.600
<v Speaker 1>it enough and uh, let's just let's just the look.

0:14:04.600 --> 0:14:07.640
<v Speaker 1>They won. They won. They beat Jacksonville, who can't figure

0:14:07.679 --> 0:14:09.840
<v Speaker 1>out how to win at all, with a good fourth

0:14:09.920 --> 0:14:12.600
<v Speaker 1>quarter from Russell. You know, you've got to admit, I

0:14:12.600 --> 0:14:15.520
<v Speaker 1>don't know if you watched it, Russ is gonna cook.

0:14:16.040 --> 0:14:19.120
<v Speaker 1>He's not. He'd know he's gonna warm stuff up. That's

0:14:19.120 --> 0:14:22.160
<v Speaker 1>what he does. He doesn't cook you warm slave. Yeah.

0:14:22.240 --> 0:14:24.160
<v Speaker 1>I will tell you though. When I flew out here,

0:14:24.240 --> 0:14:26.400
<v Speaker 1>I did not do high knees up and down the aisle.

0:14:26.440 --> 0:14:28.560
<v Speaker 1>I didn't work out for four of the eight hour flight.

0:14:28.640 --> 0:14:30.240
<v Speaker 1>I just you know, I'm not gonna do that. I

0:14:30.280 --> 0:14:32.920
<v Speaker 1>don't think anyone's going to do that. That's but I

0:14:32.960 --> 0:14:34.920
<v Speaker 1>know we said we're done making fun of him, but

0:14:35.120 --> 0:14:40.160
<v Speaker 1>come on, he'll give us more every week before we

0:14:40.240 --> 0:14:42.200
<v Speaker 1>getting into Unleashed and all that good stuff. Cause we

0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:45.560
<v Speaker 1>segue quickly and for a minute, because my unleashed is

0:14:45.800 --> 0:14:48.840
<v Speaker 1>in the NBA, so do a little NBA Like I'm look,

0:14:48.840 --> 0:14:52.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad the Lakers getting some winds now all that stuff.

0:14:53.720 --> 0:14:57.080
<v Speaker 1>I was a little confused by the Darvin ham like

0:14:57.200 --> 0:14:59.680
<v Speaker 1>Super Bowl gatorade bath that he got in the locker room,

0:14:59.680 --> 0:15:02.840
<v Speaker 1>like I'm happy for him. Look of course, it's alright,

0:15:02.880 --> 0:15:05.640
<v Speaker 1>great your first career win as a head coach, like

0:15:05.840 --> 0:15:09.680
<v Speaker 1>got it. It's the NBA. The Lakers gonna go oh

0:15:09.680 --> 0:15:11.120
<v Speaker 1>when they were they gonna go oh? And e D

0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:14.320
<v Speaker 1>two like did we not expect like Owen sixteen in

0:15:14.320 --> 0:15:17.720
<v Speaker 1>the NFL has happened before. That's a threat. There is

0:15:17.720 --> 0:15:20.000
<v Speaker 1>a threat that the first time head coach could not

0:15:20.080 --> 0:15:23.880
<v Speaker 1>get a victory. Were we really gonna say, like Darvin Hammon,

0:15:23.880 --> 0:15:26.200
<v Speaker 1>we got that first one out of the way, all right,

0:15:26.360 --> 0:15:30.600
<v Speaker 1>what were then? And eight two? And like also, where's

0:15:30.640 --> 0:15:33.040
<v Speaker 1>like the pride, Like I'm happy for Darwin ham who too.

0:15:33.080 --> 0:15:35.520
<v Speaker 1>He seems like a great person and he seems like

0:15:35.560 --> 0:15:37.440
<v Speaker 1>a good coach. They're off to a rough start, so

0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:40.160
<v Speaker 1>this is not like I'm not happy for Darwin him

0:15:40.200 --> 0:15:43.160
<v Speaker 1>if I'm that team, Like aren't you embarrassed? To quote

0:15:43.200 --> 0:15:46.760
<v Speaker 1>like Sebastian Maniscalco, aren't you embarrassed got your first win?

0:15:46.840 --> 0:15:49.920
<v Speaker 1>You're celebrating like you did something we've been like. It

0:15:49.920 --> 0:15:51.880
<v Speaker 1>should have been the opposite, should have been somber in

0:15:51.920 --> 0:15:54.280
<v Speaker 1>that locker room, like we all right, we finally did

0:15:54.280 --> 0:15:55.520
<v Speaker 1>what we needed to do. Let's go to the war.

0:15:55.720 --> 0:15:58.640
<v Speaker 1>And Lebron was in there participating. That's what I was

0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:00.800
<v Speaker 1>gonna I love Darvin Ham, I'm happy for him. I

0:16:00.800 --> 0:16:02.880
<v Speaker 1>think he's get a lot of win. So that just

0:16:03.040 --> 0:16:04.880
<v Speaker 1>that threw me for a loop. I was going to say,

0:16:04.920 --> 0:16:07.600
<v Speaker 1>because Lebron is in there, it almost makes it more

0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:10.960
<v Speaker 1>egregious because he should as a and a d but

0:16:11.040 --> 0:16:13.240
<v Speaker 1>as a leader in that room when we all know

0:16:13.280 --> 0:16:17.120
<v Speaker 1>the Lakers right now is Lebron, are Lebron? Whatever the

0:16:17.120 --> 0:16:19.880
<v Speaker 1>grammar is, but he should have said, look, we're excited

0:16:19.920 --> 0:16:23.240
<v Speaker 1>for you, Dhan, this is great. It's unacceptable it happened

0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:25.400
<v Speaker 1>this late, and we all have to be better like that.

0:16:25.840 --> 0:16:28.880
<v Speaker 1>I would be apologizing to him, Yeah, sorry it took

0:16:28.960 --> 0:16:31.160
<v Speaker 1>this long. Sorry, let me buy you dinner. Let me

0:16:31.160 --> 0:16:34.120
<v Speaker 1>buy a steak instead of soaking you with whatever. They

0:16:34.400 --> 0:16:36.520
<v Speaker 1>it just was weird, looked like they clinched the playoffs.

0:16:36.600 --> 0:16:38.920
<v Speaker 1>It didn't look like they clinched the playoff spot. No,

0:16:39.040 --> 0:16:41.280
<v Speaker 1>You're right, that was awkward to watch. It's sad that

0:16:41.320 --> 0:16:43.280
<v Speaker 1>it happened like this last team to get a win

0:16:43.880 --> 0:16:47.320
<v Speaker 1>with that roster, and everyone is going to be questioning

0:16:47.360 --> 0:16:49.560
<v Speaker 1>what the move is. And a d already having back

0:16:49.600 --> 0:16:53.040
<v Speaker 1>issues and NBA's worst shooting team evert now, and and

0:16:53.120 --> 0:16:56.160
<v Speaker 1>Lebron's after his worst shooting start. There's issues up and down.

0:16:56.280 --> 0:16:59.000
<v Speaker 1>So I don't know what to make of it. But Jerry,

0:16:59.040 --> 0:17:01.080
<v Speaker 1>that was certainly not the biggest news in the NBA.

0:17:01.240 --> 0:17:04.119
<v Speaker 1>As we're recording this Tuesday night or Tuesday night for me,

0:17:04.359 --> 0:17:07.800
<v Speaker 1>Tuesday afternoon for you. Steve Nash out in Brooklyn, what

0:17:07.800 --> 0:17:11.919
<v Speaker 1>are your thoughts? Yeah, something had to happen. Obviously not

0:17:11.960 --> 0:17:14.200
<v Speaker 1>off to a good start, and then you get into

0:17:14.200 --> 0:17:16.719
<v Speaker 1>the Kyrie stuff and the Durant stuff. Did he want

0:17:16.760 --> 0:17:20.200
<v Speaker 1>to fire over you know what? Would reported that it

0:17:20.320 --> 0:17:23.560
<v Speaker 1>was mutual, which typically when I hear that, I'm like, no,

0:17:23.640 --> 0:17:29.200
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't. In this case, I totally totally believe, like

0:17:29.240 --> 0:17:32.160
<v Speaker 1>Steve come into the office place and Steve Nash walking

0:17:32.200 --> 0:17:34.399
<v Speaker 1>to be like, I'm gonna stop you guys, for a second,

0:17:35.119 --> 0:17:40.000
<v Speaker 1>it's cool you I'm cool. Let's you're right, I'm out.

0:17:40.320 --> 0:17:42.199
<v Speaker 1>And I know Steve Nash is a competitor. He was

0:17:42.200 --> 0:17:44.720
<v Speaker 1>a great competitor as a player. He's a competitive person.

0:17:45.040 --> 0:17:47.159
<v Speaker 1>So I'm sure he's not taking this like with a

0:17:47.200 --> 0:17:49.920
<v Speaker 1>grain of salt. But yeah, I'm sure. I actually, for

0:17:49.960 --> 0:17:52.560
<v Speaker 1>the first time I ever believed the both sides were

0:17:52.680 --> 0:17:55.679
<v Speaker 1>mutually agreed to put like I just I I agree

0:17:55.680 --> 0:18:00.760
<v Speaker 1>it was mutually agreed that it should no longer happen. Um,

0:18:00.760 --> 0:18:03.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, And then you hear stuff like obviously Jacquevlan

0:18:03.359 --> 0:18:05.480
<v Speaker 1>is gonna take over for now, but you hear names

0:18:05.480 --> 0:18:08.840
<v Speaker 1>like Quinn Snyder and you hear you dooko, which it's like,

0:18:09.440 --> 0:18:11.439
<v Speaker 1>is that even gonna happen this quickly? When can it

0:18:11.480 --> 0:18:14.520
<v Speaker 1>even happen? That's like such a law. It's very confusing,

0:18:15.119 --> 0:18:18.600
<v Speaker 1>I will say to kind of surmise, I was worried

0:18:18.640 --> 0:18:21.280
<v Speaker 1>already when they came in. Again, love me, I love

0:18:21.359 --> 0:18:24.640
<v Speaker 1>Steve Nash. You never coached before like head coach. They

0:18:24.680 --> 0:18:27.840
<v Speaker 1>got They kicked Kenny Atkinson out the door, who is

0:18:27.880 --> 0:18:31.160
<v Speaker 1>now a very valued assistant with Golden State, and that

0:18:31.200 --> 0:18:35.440
<v Speaker 1>team was overachieving on the level of Carris LeVert and

0:18:35.440 --> 0:18:37.240
<v Speaker 1>and just all that, like they did not really have

0:18:37.359 --> 0:18:39.960
<v Speaker 1>that number one. So I just always thought that should

0:18:39.960 --> 0:18:43.480
<v Speaker 1>have stayed Kenny Atkinson's job. Kenny Atkinson is a great coach,

0:18:44.240 --> 0:18:48.560
<v Speaker 1>so I'll be interested to see what happens. I'm happy

0:18:48.600 --> 0:18:52.080
<v Speaker 1>that the Knicks are not the main the main circus

0:18:52.280 --> 0:18:54.800
<v Speaker 1>in New York right now. Yeah, I mean, I guess

0:18:54.800 --> 0:18:57.199
<v Speaker 1>that's your take. A couple of things. What came to

0:18:57.280 --> 0:19:01.359
<v Speaker 1>mind is conscious uncoupling. Remember, and Chris Martin and Gwyneth

0:19:01.359 --> 0:19:04.240
<v Speaker 1>Palto said that when they got a divorce something like that.

0:19:04.240 --> 0:19:06.480
<v Speaker 1>That's like a nice Hollywood spin on it. So that

0:19:06.640 --> 0:19:09.600
<v Speaker 1>change of mind. Also with the email Adoca stuff, that

0:19:09.680 --> 0:19:13.240
<v Speaker 1>he is his name's in the conversation. He's obviously suspended

0:19:13.240 --> 0:19:16.560
<v Speaker 1>from Celtics for a year for everything that helped happened there,

0:19:16.800 --> 0:19:20.520
<v Speaker 1>and that he's still available to be hired elsewhere is

0:19:20.640 --> 0:19:22.840
<v Speaker 1>very funny. And we were talking right before we recorded

0:19:22.840 --> 0:19:24.760
<v Speaker 1>that we see this a lot in football. I feel

0:19:24.800 --> 0:19:28.000
<v Speaker 1>like with coaches is some off the field issue. The

0:19:28.080 --> 0:19:31.520
<v Speaker 1>name Hugh Freeze comes to mind, and you're banished, right

0:19:31.560 --> 0:19:33.920
<v Speaker 1>like the school has to fire you. It's going to

0:19:34.000 --> 0:19:36.120
<v Speaker 1>be a really bad. Look if they don't part ways.

0:19:36.160 --> 0:19:39.480
<v Speaker 1>But yet you're so successful on the field that your

0:19:39.600 --> 0:19:42.639
<v Speaker 1>name is always in the conversation anytime there is a

0:19:42.800 --> 0:19:45.880
<v Speaker 1>big hiring like for this Hugh Freeze example, his name

0:19:45.920 --> 0:19:48.280
<v Speaker 1>and he's obviously at Liberty. His name is now in

0:19:48.320 --> 0:19:51.119
<v Speaker 1>the conversation for the Auburn job. And Brian Harson just

0:19:51.200 --> 0:19:53.720
<v Speaker 1>got fired this week. He's a great play caller, he's

0:19:53.840 --> 0:19:56.639
<v Speaker 1>he was super successful. To'll miss beat Nick Saban I

0:19:56.640 --> 0:19:58.560
<v Speaker 1>think twice actually, now that I think about it. And

0:19:58.960 --> 0:20:00.919
<v Speaker 1>it's one of those things that like you have to

0:20:00.960 --> 0:20:04.080
<v Speaker 1>pay your penance, you have to go to like sports

0:20:04.160 --> 0:20:06.919
<v Speaker 1>jail a k in this case of his Liberty, Like

0:20:07.040 --> 0:20:09.520
<v Speaker 1>you have to to go pay your time and then

0:20:09.680 --> 0:20:11.639
<v Speaker 1>don't worry, like you're gonna be right back where you

0:20:11.680 --> 0:20:13.760
<v Speaker 1>wanted to be in a couple of years. I don't know,

0:20:13.840 --> 0:20:16.840
<v Speaker 1>is there another example like that I'm missing someone. I

0:20:16.840 --> 0:20:19.320
<v Speaker 1>feel like we see this a lot, right, it does happen,

0:20:19.480 --> 0:20:22.359
<v Speaker 1>and you know some people you'll see say, well, Wat

0:20:22.359 --> 0:20:25.280
<v Speaker 1>should like his career be over completely, Like we still

0:20:25.280 --> 0:20:28.119
<v Speaker 1>don't even have the details, some details I don't know.

0:20:28.280 --> 0:20:30.800
<v Speaker 1>It really to me, that's like an organizational decision if

0:20:30.800 --> 0:20:32.840
<v Speaker 1>the nets are like, you know what, we'll wait out

0:20:32.840 --> 0:20:35.760
<v Speaker 1>his suspension. We want him for the future, and you

0:20:35.800 --> 0:20:40.720
<v Speaker 1>know he made a mistake and moving on. That's their prerogative,

0:20:40.760 --> 0:20:43.240
<v Speaker 1>but you do take on everything that comes with that

0:20:43.359 --> 0:20:46.439
<v Speaker 1>when stuff doesn't work out or something happens again. But yeah, like,

0:20:46.520 --> 0:20:48.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I guess what we're supposed to say,

0:20:48.880 --> 0:20:50.399
<v Speaker 1>is he is he done for his career? Is his

0:20:50.480 --> 0:20:53.639
<v Speaker 1>career completely over? I'm not one to me. I'm glad

0:20:53.680 --> 0:20:57.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm not making that decision. And I'm so sick of

0:20:57.280 --> 0:21:00.280
<v Speaker 1>cancel culture and us in the media I think are

0:21:00.359 --> 0:21:03.879
<v Speaker 1>the most at fault at this, But certainly sports fans

0:21:04.240 --> 0:21:06.800
<v Speaker 1>feel like they're the judge and jury so often, and

0:21:07.040 --> 0:21:09.640
<v Speaker 1>so yeah, I could care less about that. That's more

0:21:10.160 --> 0:21:12.840
<v Speaker 1>in this example both Emay, that's kind of more between

0:21:12.880 --> 0:21:14.560
<v Speaker 1>him and his wife as far as I'm concerned about

0:21:14.520 --> 0:21:17.400
<v Speaker 1>our problem. But I think it's certainly an interesting look

0:21:17.440 --> 0:21:20.520
<v Speaker 1>if that turnaround was so quick, if the nets are like, hey, May,

0:21:20.680 --> 0:21:23.239
<v Speaker 1>what's going on? How you doing? Come on down to Brooklyn, Like,

0:21:24.000 --> 0:21:28.000
<v Speaker 1>that's a certainly certainly quick From a betting perspective, though, Jerry,

0:21:28.040 --> 0:21:30.879
<v Speaker 1>this has been pretty interesting because the nets odds to

0:21:30.920 --> 0:21:34.000
<v Speaker 1>win the NBA Championship. They opened up plus seven hundred

0:21:34.720 --> 0:21:37.800
<v Speaker 1>and two weeks into the season, plus Steve Nash firing

0:21:38.280 --> 0:21:42.200
<v Speaker 1>plus four d Think about that there two and five

0:21:42.760 --> 0:21:45.320
<v Speaker 1>just seven games into the season they fire Steve Nash,

0:21:45.720 --> 0:21:49.240
<v Speaker 1>and I don't know, pretty interesting, and under Steve Nash

0:21:49.480 --> 0:21:52.200
<v Speaker 1>they were four and sixty seven. That was the record.

0:21:52.280 --> 0:21:53.960
<v Speaker 1>Got swept out of the first round of the playoffs

0:21:54.080 --> 0:21:56.840
<v Speaker 1>last season, obviously by the Celtics. That kind of comes

0:21:56.880 --> 0:22:01.560
<v Speaker 1>full circle. But any other first time coach, that's an

0:22:01.560 --> 0:22:04.400
<v Speaker 1>amazing start. You know, you got swept right, But not

0:22:04.560 --> 0:22:07.920
<v Speaker 1>in that situation and not with those players. I'm gonna say,

0:22:08.000 --> 0:22:10.680
<v Speaker 1>if it's Quinn Snyder, for some reason, I feel like

0:22:10.720 --> 0:22:14.280
<v Speaker 1>their odds will get better right away because Quinn Snyder

0:22:14.359 --> 0:22:16.040
<v Speaker 1>is a great I think he's a great coach. I

0:22:16.040 --> 0:22:20.280
<v Speaker 1>think he maximized a lot had And I'm not saying

0:22:20.320 --> 0:22:22.120
<v Speaker 1>even what I mean what you dooka you could argue

0:22:22.119 --> 0:22:23.679
<v Speaker 1>with the same thing. I just don't know when he

0:22:23.720 --> 0:22:25.879
<v Speaker 1>would start like that would be the biggest thing. So

0:22:26.000 --> 0:22:27.919
<v Speaker 1>if it's Quinn Snyder and like a right away he

0:22:27.960 --> 0:22:29.960
<v Speaker 1>takes over in like two weeks from now, those odds

0:22:29.960 --> 0:22:31.760
<v Speaker 1>that you tick up and get a little bit better.

0:22:31.840 --> 0:22:33.920
<v Speaker 1>And then obviously a part of this conversation is the

0:22:33.960 --> 0:22:37.720
<v Speaker 1>Kyrie stuff, and there's a lot there. But I keep

0:22:37.720 --> 0:22:40.639
<v Speaker 1>thinking with Kad, does he just wake up every morning

0:22:41.160 --> 0:22:45.120
<v Speaker 1>wondering why he traded out Steph Curry for Kyrie Irving? Like,

0:22:46.000 --> 0:22:48.240
<v Speaker 1>does he not wake up every morning regretting that decision.

0:22:48.760 --> 0:22:53.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't think we'll ever know what Katie's thinking. Um horrible,

0:22:53.480 --> 0:22:56.639
<v Speaker 1>He's it's such a waste of talent. Katie should be

0:22:56.720 --> 0:22:59.959
<v Speaker 1>on a contending team every season, not dealing with all

0:23:00.119 --> 0:23:03.120
<v Speaker 1>this nonsense. Right, It's not on him, you know, it's

0:23:03.119 --> 0:23:05.560
<v Speaker 1>really not on him. Like that's why even when we

0:23:05.600 --> 0:23:07.760
<v Speaker 1>said when he demanded a trade and all that stuff,

0:23:08.040 --> 0:23:10.879
<v Speaker 1>he really has no leverage because KD is not going

0:23:10.920 --> 0:23:14.520
<v Speaker 1>to skip games and skip trade. Like that's the big

0:23:14.560 --> 0:23:16.639
<v Speaker 1>conundrum with him, because it's like, even if he wants

0:23:16.640 --> 0:23:18.399
<v Speaker 1>out to force your way out the things you have

0:23:18.480 --> 0:23:19.760
<v Speaker 1>to do, I don't know if he's willing to do.

0:23:19.800 --> 0:23:23.200
<v Speaker 1>Because that dude loves basketball. I buy that a hundred percent.

0:23:23.600 --> 0:23:25.800
<v Speaker 1>And I buy a hundred percent when he was with

0:23:25.880 --> 0:23:29.520
<v Speaker 1>the Warriors, especially that first year, that's like the happiest

0:23:29.600 --> 0:23:33.479
<v Speaker 1>I think he's I think he hit basketball UTOPI you know,

0:23:33.760 --> 0:23:36.840
<v Speaker 1>like wow, and then year two, year three, other stuff

0:23:36.880 --> 0:23:39.320
<v Speaker 1>starts happening and all that. But yeah, that dude loves

0:23:39.320 --> 0:23:41.960
<v Speaker 1>the ball, So I don't know. I ultimately think the

0:23:42.040 --> 0:23:44.720
<v Speaker 1>Nash thing too was a distraction in itself. Is he

0:23:44.720 --> 0:23:46.560
<v Speaker 1>gonna get fired? Is he not? So? I I do

0:23:46.600 --> 0:23:48.479
<v Speaker 1>think the Nets will start to hit a stride in

0:23:48.520 --> 0:23:51.960
<v Speaker 1>like two weeks. Hey, speaking of which, you were courtside

0:23:52.160 --> 0:23:54.520
<v Speaker 1>at the Calves game. Get to see your boy down

0:23:54.640 --> 0:24:05.920
<v Speaker 1>Van Mitchell up close and the personal telling about that. Okay,

0:24:05.920 --> 0:24:08.440
<v Speaker 1>I would do this, So this was a rough one

0:24:08.480 --> 0:24:11.040
<v Speaker 1>for me. I went in person to the Calves Knicks

0:24:11.080 --> 0:24:13.119
<v Speaker 1>game in the past Sunday and they were in Cleveland,

0:24:13.320 --> 0:24:15.840
<v Speaker 1>and I got some really good tickets. I had never

0:24:15.880 --> 0:24:17.920
<v Speaker 1>sat in a seat. Now I've sat in some really

0:24:17.920 --> 0:24:20.159
<v Speaker 1>good season is not a humble brag. I've been fortunate

0:24:20.280 --> 0:24:23.359
<v Speaker 1>enough to sit courtside all that great stuff. So I

0:24:23.440 --> 0:24:28.000
<v Speaker 1>sat first front row, right behind the Calves bench, which

0:24:28.040 --> 0:24:29.879
<v Speaker 1>is not a great seat for viewing because you have

0:24:30.040 --> 0:24:32.480
<v Speaker 1>seven foot tall people sitting in front of you, but

0:24:32.920 --> 0:24:36.359
<v Speaker 1>it's a really cool seat for like time outs and stuff.

0:24:36.400 --> 0:24:38.960
<v Speaker 1>I was inside the Calves huddle and I had a

0:24:39.000 --> 0:24:42.280
<v Speaker 1>really close look at Donovan Mitchell. And obviously every Nick

0:24:42.359 --> 0:24:46.040
<v Speaker 1>fan has convinced themselves now that not trading for Donovan

0:24:46.040 --> 0:24:48.520
<v Speaker 1>Mitchell was the right thing to do. We're all on

0:24:48.560 --> 0:24:52.080
<v Speaker 1>that boat. Until he played the Knicks, and until I

0:24:52.119 --> 0:24:55.399
<v Speaker 1>saw it in person, it was like watching you know,

0:24:55.560 --> 0:24:57.560
<v Speaker 1>like a relationship in high school, like a girl who

0:24:57.760 --> 0:25:00.399
<v Speaker 1>sort of left you, although Donovan Mitchell didn't leave Knicks

0:25:00.880 --> 0:25:03.280
<v Speaker 1>for someone else, and you're watching it like, yeah, that

0:25:03.359 --> 0:25:07.200
<v Speaker 1>makes sense, that's that's a better relationship for her, and

0:25:07.480 --> 0:25:11.920
<v Speaker 1>she's flourishing. He's flourishing. He was flourishing on the court.

0:25:12.200 --> 0:25:16.359
<v Speaker 1>He was completely dominant, and it was a close game throughout,

0:25:16.440 --> 0:25:19.280
<v Speaker 1>and you just knew that Donovan Mitchell was going to

0:25:19.440 --> 0:25:23.359
<v Speaker 1>close out the game. And now realizing that you just

0:25:23.560 --> 0:25:26.000
<v Speaker 1>need that star player in the NBA as much as

0:25:26.000 --> 0:25:28.840
<v Speaker 1>I try to fight against it, and Donovan Mitchell was

0:25:28.880 --> 0:25:31.280
<v Speaker 1>that player. In the huddles, in the time out. He

0:25:31.359 --> 0:25:34.040
<v Speaker 1>was coaching guys, uh, he was coaching up a Korro,

0:25:34.160 --> 0:25:36.720
<v Speaker 1>he was coaching up Mobili. He was like the greatest

0:25:36.880 --> 0:25:39.840
<v Speaker 1>alpha team leader guy, And it just all made sense,

0:25:39.880 --> 0:25:41.720
<v Speaker 1>and I just had the pit in my stomach of

0:25:41.920 --> 0:25:46.080
<v Speaker 1>what did the Knicks do by not making it mandatory

0:25:46.359 --> 0:25:49.600
<v Speaker 1>to trade for Donovan Mitchell. So I'm saying all the

0:25:49.640 --> 0:25:52.520
<v Speaker 1>justification that Nick fans did about, oh, we're in great shape,

0:25:53.359 --> 0:25:55.800
<v Speaker 1>we should have did the trade after watching that in person,

0:25:55.920 --> 0:25:58.239
<v Speaker 1>that hurt my feelings as a Nick fan. And he

0:25:58.320 --> 0:26:01.680
<v Speaker 1>is at an m v P level through whatever seven games.

0:26:01.720 --> 0:26:04.320
<v Speaker 1>But ah, it is so good for the Calves. What

0:26:04.400 --> 0:26:07.120
<v Speaker 1>a great fit. I'm glad that you're there for this too.

0:26:07.200 --> 0:26:10.440
<v Speaker 1>And I love your kind of Midwest fandom coming out

0:26:10.440 --> 0:26:13.000
<v Speaker 1>of nowhere because I know like you were trying to

0:26:13.000 --> 0:26:15.880
<v Speaker 1>spite your in laws a little bit by going against Michigan,

0:26:16.200 --> 0:26:18.520
<v Speaker 1>and now you're settling in on the Calves. I think

0:26:18.520 --> 0:26:22.159
<v Speaker 1>you're settling nicely. Yeah, And look at the one thing

0:26:22.200 --> 0:26:23.919
<v Speaker 1>you could say is the Knicks would have had to

0:26:24.040 --> 0:26:27.679
<v Speaker 1>actually trade players that they would have needed to also

0:26:27.800 --> 0:26:30.359
<v Speaker 1>be good with Mitchell, whereas the Calves, you know, I

0:26:30.400 --> 0:26:32.160
<v Speaker 1>don't think they were going to hang on the Marketing

0:26:32.359 --> 0:26:34.439
<v Speaker 1>and Sexton anyway. So we were able to bring in

0:26:34.480 --> 0:26:37.159
<v Speaker 1>Mitchell with still a great core. So it's just a

0:26:37.200 --> 0:26:42.359
<v Speaker 1>better fit for him basketball wise, Such a better situation

0:26:42.400 --> 0:26:45.480
<v Speaker 1>for I'm happy for him on that level. Yeah, it's

0:26:45.480 --> 0:26:47.760
<v Speaker 1>probably cool to see in person too. And and we

0:26:47.840 --> 0:26:50.280
<v Speaker 1>had bantered because it was like on our show the

0:26:50.320 --> 0:26:52.680
<v Speaker 1>week it was happening. And I know you wanted them,

0:26:52.760 --> 0:26:54.320
<v Speaker 1>I know you did, but it sounds like you're a

0:26:54.320 --> 0:26:57.719
<v Speaker 1>good sport about it. Yeah. Like I said, it's like

0:26:57.920 --> 0:26:59.879
<v Speaker 1>you and this person broke up and now they did

0:27:00.080 --> 0:27:02.240
<v Speaker 1>someone else, and you're like, that's a good couple. They're

0:27:02.280 --> 0:27:03.719
<v Speaker 1>they're a good couple. What are you gonna do. That's

0:27:03.760 --> 0:27:07.240
<v Speaker 1>a good couple. They're a good couple. They should be together. Okay,

0:27:07.320 --> 0:27:09.760
<v Speaker 1>let's stay in the Midwest. And I already brought up Michigan,

0:27:09.800 --> 0:27:11.879
<v Speaker 1>so I've got a touch on this fight that happened

0:27:11.880 --> 0:27:13.960
<v Speaker 1>in the tunnel after one of the best rivalries in

0:27:14.000 --> 0:27:17.359
<v Speaker 1>college football, Michigan State Michigan. It happened in the Big House.

0:27:17.680 --> 0:27:22.480
<v Speaker 1>You see Michigan State players who lost just beating up

0:27:22.760 --> 0:27:28.200
<v Speaker 1>on an indefensible Wolverine player. Jaden mcburrows was one of them.

0:27:28.280 --> 0:27:31.240
<v Speaker 1>And then at Jamon Green, the defensive back with no

0:27:31.359 --> 0:27:35.800
<v Speaker 1>helmet on, mind you, just a complete assault in the tunnel.

0:27:35.880 --> 0:27:38.879
<v Speaker 1>And as the story is progressing now there are a

0:27:38.880 --> 0:27:41.080
<v Speaker 1>couple of things that I find interesting. Is people are

0:27:41.280 --> 0:27:43.600
<v Speaker 1>pointing the finger at a lot of people other than

0:27:43.960 --> 0:27:47.360
<v Speaker 1>the four Spartan players who have been suspended and definitely,

0:27:47.400 --> 0:27:50.679
<v Speaker 1>by the way, and there is an ongoing investigation, but

0:27:51.080 --> 0:27:55.800
<v Speaker 1>people are blaming the structure of the Big House, which

0:27:55.880 --> 0:27:58.360
<v Speaker 1>was built almost a century ago. By the way, there's

0:27:58.359 --> 0:28:02.280
<v Speaker 1>a single entrance and exit and just this one tunnel,

0:28:02.320 --> 0:28:05.480
<v Speaker 1>which I will say there are a handful of stadiums

0:28:05.480 --> 0:28:08.160
<v Speaker 1>in the NFL and college that have one tunnel. And

0:28:08.320 --> 0:28:10.280
<v Speaker 1>as a sideline reporter, I'll tell you it is a

0:28:10.480 --> 0:28:12.400
<v Speaker 1>nightmare because when you're trying to get a coach coming

0:28:12.440 --> 0:28:16.399
<v Speaker 1>off the field at halftime and two teams are trying

0:28:16.400 --> 0:28:18.760
<v Speaker 1>to get into their locker room as fast as possible,

0:28:18.760 --> 0:28:21.040
<v Speaker 1>it's it's a mess. But some of these are like

0:28:21.200 --> 0:28:24.240
<v Speaker 1>grandfathered in the Big House. I mean, come on, they're

0:28:24.280 --> 0:28:27.480
<v Speaker 1>not going to change it, probably anytime soon, should they? Sure,

0:28:27.640 --> 0:28:31.320
<v Speaker 1>But it's just what it is. You can't blame the

0:28:31.480 --> 0:28:36.240
<v Speaker 1>architect for this fight. And I really don't like people saying, well,

0:28:36.280 --> 0:28:39.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's a football game, come on, blah blah, No,

0:28:39.760 --> 0:28:41.560
<v Speaker 1>this was off the field to play. When we look

0:28:41.600 --> 0:28:46.080
<v Speaker 1>at similar incidents of violence, that seems to supersede the game.

0:28:46.440 --> 0:28:49.720
<v Speaker 1>Like the Mason Rudolph Miles Garrett situation comes to mind

0:28:50.440 --> 0:28:52.480
<v Speaker 1>a lot of times. They get written off when the

0:28:52.560 --> 0:28:54.880
<v Speaker 1>law tries to get involved. It's it's on the field

0:28:54.880 --> 0:28:57.720
<v Speaker 1>of play, right, Well, this is not. This was after

0:28:57.760 --> 0:29:00.640
<v Speaker 1>the game in the tunnel, a player with no helmet

0:29:00.680 --> 0:29:03.920
<v Speaker 1>on who got a concussion from this altercation. And if

0:29:03.920 --> 0:29:07.120
<v Speaker 1>you've seen the video, it is hard to watch. It's

0:29:07.160 --> 0:29:10.480
<v Speaker 1>it's gross. This is not boys will be boys. This

0:29:10.560 --> 0:29:14.200
<v Speaker 1>is not that. This was a full on assault of

0:29:14.280 --> 0:29:20.000
<v Speaker 1>an over hyped matchup of a rivalry that goes, you know,

0:29:20.160 --> 0:29:23.680
<v Speaker 1>decades beyond any of these kids were alive, and it's horrible.

0:29:23.760 --> 0:29:26.560
<v Speaker 1>The interesting part about it now is that the player

0:29:26.600 --> 0:29:29.520
<v Speaker 1>who suffered the concussion has hired a lawyer, and not

0:29:29.600 --> 0:29:32.640
<v Speaker 1>just any lawyer. He hired Tom Mars, who if you

0:29:32.640 --> 0:29:35.800
<v Speaker 1>look up just about any scandal in college football, Tom

0:29:35.840 --> 0:29:38.440
<v Speaker 1>Mars is right there in the middle of it. The

0:29:38.480 --> 0:29:41.600
<v Speaker 1>pretty interesting stuff that now it's going to become a

0:29:41.680 --> 0:29:46.400
<v Speaker 1>criminal investigation. Another interesting part that I'm looking at is

0:29:46.440 --> 0:29:49.200
<v Speaker 1>the Big Ten commissioner Kevin Warren. I'm a big fan

0:29:49.280 --> 0:29:52.040
<v Speaker 1>of his. He's had his hands full because COVID happened,

0:29:52.120 --> 0:29:55.280
<v Speaker 1>like right as he took over the job, and um,

0:29:55.320 --> 0:29:58.360
<v Speaker 1>every conference was doing something different in regards to COVID,

0:29:58.440 --> 0:30:00.920
<v Speaker 1>but he was at the game because his son is

0:30:00.960 --> 0:30:03.920
<v Speaker 1>on the Michigan State roster. That's kind of going to

0:30:04.000 --> 0:30:05.920
<v Speaker 1>be an interesting part about it. The Big Ten has

0:30:05.920 --> 0:30:09.080
<v Speaker 1>stayed quiet so far, so clearly they're waiting for more evidence,

0:30:09.240 --> 0:30:11.840
<v Speaker 1>and there are supposed to be other camera angles that

0:30:11.840 --> 0:30:14.680
<v Speaker 1>we haven't seen yet. Jim Harbaugh saying that, and he's

0:30:14.720 --> 0:30:17.000
<v Speaker 1>saying that the evidence is so much worse when you

0:30:17.000 --> 0:30:20.120
<v Speaker 1>see the camera angle that he has seen. So look,

0:30:20.240 --> 0:30:24.320
<v Speaker 1>it's a mess, and I hate when this stuff overshadows

0:30:24.440 --> 0:30:29.880
<v Speaker 1>the purity and the pageantry of college football, right it, Sully'

0:30:29.920 --> 0:30:32.800
<v Speaker 1>is all of it for everyone. And already college sports

0:30:32.800 --> 0:30:35.080
<v Speaker 1>are taking a different turn with now n I L

0:30:35.160 --> 0:30:37.880
<v Speaker 1>and transfer portal and that it's not what it used

0:30:37.920 --> 0:30:39.760
<v Speaker 1>to be for a lot of good reasons. There are

0:30:39.680 --> 0:30:41.360
<v Speaker 1>a lot of good things coming out of it. Now.

0:30:41.360 --> 0:30:43.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm going on a tangent, but that is my unleashed

0:30:43.360 --> 0:30:45.800
<v Speaker 1>because I was really pissed when I saw that this

0:30:45.800 --> 0:30:49.760
<v Speaker 1>went down. No, it's look, it is. It is hard

0:30:49.840 --> 0:30:52.760
<v Speaker 1>to watch. Made me kind of grateful that that's not

0:30:53.040 --> 0:30:57.280
<v Speaker 1>something that we've seen a lot before because that I know,

0:30:57.320 --> 0:30:59.920
<v Speaker 1>I guess we've got like conditioned to like accept violence

0:31:00.000 --> 0:31:02.160
<v Speaker 1>on the field, right, because it's in the spirit of

0:31:02.200 --> 0:31:05.000
<v Speaker 1>the game. But it just shows you too, and what

0:31:05.120 --> 0:31:08.880
<v Speaker 1>a difference it is from like football violence versus just

0:31:09.320 --> 0:31:11.880
<v Speaker 1>violence violence, you know, and in the weird way, you

0:31:11.880 --> 0:31:14.840
<v Speaker 1>know what I thought about this is kind of off topic,

0:31:14.920 --> 0:31:17.040
<v Speaker 1>but everyone, you know, it was kind of up in

0:31:17.080 --> 0:31:19.280
<v Speaker 1>ours about the DJ More penalty after the hail Mary

0:31:19.320 --> 0:31:21.480
<v Speaker 1>because he took his helmet off, right, And why is

0:31:21.520 --> 0:31:24.560
<v Speaker 1>that a fifteen yard penalty? And it cost them to

0:31:24.640 --> 0:31:27.520
<v Speaker 1>kick where and like where you could like pile drive

0:31:27.600 --> 0:31:30.080
<v Speaker 1>a quarterback and that's only fifteen Like those two things

0:31:30.080 --> 0:31:33.560
<v Speaker 1>are equivalent. To me, It's so clear it's such a

0:31:33.600 --> 0:31:36.720
<v Speaker 1>stiff penalty because keep your helmet on. And I think

0:31:36.720 --> 0:31:38.640
<v Speaker 1>it's because of like stuff like that, because if a

0:31:38.680 --> 0:31:41.200
<v Speaker 1>fight breaks out, that's why I like, you know, and

0:31:41.200 --> 0:31:43.360
<v Speaker 1>there are some players who will throw punches to people

0:31:43.360 --> 0:31:50.080
<v Speaker 1>with a helmet on he right, right, it's either a weapon,

0:31:50.160 --> 0:31:52.640
<v Speaker 1>it could be a weapon or also like you know,

0:31:52.800 --> 0:31:55.080
<v Speaker 1>I think it's a deterrent for people to throw punches

0:31:55.160 --> 0:31:57.160
<v Speaker 1>maybe when someone's wearing a helmet, Like I'm not gonna

0:31:57.160 --> 0:31:58.560
<v Speaker 1>punch you in the face, and I'm probably gonna break

0:31:58.560 --> 0:32:00.640
<v Speaker 1>my hand because you have a helmet on. So I

0:32:00.680 --> 0:32:03.880
<v Speaker 1>guess it's just more it's so severe because it's the

0:32:03.920 --> 0:32:06.080
<v Speaker 1>bad things that could happen when helmets come off in

0:32:06.400 --> 0:32:08.600
<v Speaker 1>the spirit of play. But anyway, that was well said.

0:32:08.720 --> 0:32:12.800
<v Speaker 1>That's a crazy situation that every sports fan is kind

0:32:12.800 --> 0:32:16.360
<v Speaker 1>of like. It's like, whoa, that's that's that's crazy. And

0:32:16.440 --> 0:32:18.200
<v Speaker 1>our friend who was on the podcast a couple of

0:32:18.240 --> 0:32:20.680
<v Speaker 1>weeks ago, Pat Forty, who writes for Sports Illustrated, he

0:32:20.720 --> 0:32:22.719
<v Speaker 1>had a great article on it, and he is not

0:32:22.840 --> 0:32:25.720
<v Speaker 1>mincing his words. He is probably even more upset than

0:32:25.760 --> 0:32:27.720
<v Speaker 1>I am. He has kids who have been d one athletes,

0:32:27.760 --> 0:32:31.280
<v Speaker 1>and it's it's very interesting in any topic, whether it's

0:32:31.280 --> 0:32:35.680
<v Speaker 1>a social issue something like this, with with sports, I

0:32:35.760 --> 0:32:38.560
<v Speaker 1>always think, if that's your kid, what do you think?

0:32:38.640 --> 0:32:40.160
<v Speaker 1>And my husband and I were talking about I said,

0:32:40.200 --> 0:32:41.960
<v Speaker 1>can you imagine if that was our son and we

0:32:42.000 --> 0:32:46.040
<v Speaker 1>see that footage of players in full pads and helmets

0:32:46.080 --> 0:32:50.240
<v Speaker 1>just wailing on this kid, kicking them, like, oh, I'd

0:32:50.240 --> 0:32:52.360
<v Speaker 1>be down there. I would be making my way to

0:32:52.400 --> 0:32:56.400
<v Speaker 1>ease Lansing. Yes, put a pit in your in your stomach.

0:32:56.440 --> 0:32:59.360
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, it's uh, that's a rough one and I

0:32:59.400 --> 0:33:02.080
<v Speaker 1>don't know how it's gonna shake out. But not a

0:33:02.120 --> 0:33:05.959
<v Speaker 1>good situation for anyone involved. No, it's not. Alright. On

0:33:06.000 --> 0:33:08.560
<v Speaker 1>a brighter note, let's go ahead and get to our guest.

0:33:08.680 --> 0:33:21.760
<v Speaker 1>Max Greenfield isn't next, alright, Let's bring in our guests.

0:33:21.840 --> 0:33:24.560
<v Speaker 1>He's like the Mike Trout of acting, a five tool

0:33:24.600 --> 0:33:26.880
<v Speaker 1>player who can do it all. One of the stars

0:33:26.920 --> 0:33:30.959
<v Speaker 1>of the neighborhood. Max Greenfield, Welcome to Unleashed. We're so

0:33:31.000 --> 0:33:33.320
<v Speaker 1>glad that Jerry called in a personal favor for this one.

0:33:33.920 --> 0:33:40.000
<v Speaker 1>Still trying to digest the intro, I think, what part

0:33:40.040 --> 0:33:43.040
<v Speaker 1>do you have a problem with? Well, I think Mike Troud.

0:33:43.200 --> 0:33:46.520
<v Speaker 1>Mike Trout's considered to be in some circles the best

0:33:46.560 --> 0:33:52.760
<v Speaker 1>player in Major League Baseball. Everything's fine, Yeah, I don't

0:33:52.760 --> 0:33:57.000
<v Speaker 1>put myself in that category. I do like the five

0:33:57.040 --> 0:34:00.440
<v Speaker 1>tools situation, but I just think a lower level of

0:34:00.920 --> 0:34:04.040
<v Speaker 1>that would be, uh, would be more apt. Oh, I

0:34:04.080 --> 0:34:09.280
<v Speaker 1>love it. I don't know base Well, Jerry, what should

0:34:09.280 --> 0:34:11.120
<v Speaker 1>we have introd him. We're gonna by the end of

0:34:11.120 --> 0:34:13.040
<v Speaker 1>the show, we're gonna come up with your sports camp.

0:34:13.080 --> 0:34:17.600
<v Speaker 1>But I thought of something earlier in the show. You're like,

0:34:18.760 --> 0:34:21.160
<v Speaker 1>you definitely have a finals m v P under your belt,

0:34:21.480 --> 0:34:24.160
<v Speaker 1>and you've definitely won championships. I think your stats might

0:34:24.200 --> 0:34:27.440
<v Speaker 1>be a little better than you have a Philly ego

0:34:27.719 --> 0:34:32.200
<v Speaker 1>just like can go into any he can play any position,

0:34:32.400 --> 0:34:36.480
<v Speaker 1>and he's very directed. He's good at taking direction. Like

0:34:36.520 --> 0:34:38.440
<v Speaker 1>I need to play the fist. I need you to

0:34:38.560 --> 0:34:43.000
<v Speaker 1>play the vibe tonight. Let's go. You are like, let's

0:34:43.040 --> 0:34:46.680
<v Speaker 1>get it done by any means necessary. I like that

0:34:46.719 --> 0:34:48.879
<v Speaker 1>we've now hash that out. You know what I thought

0:34:48.920 --> 0:34:50.960
<v Speaker 1>of today, Max, And I was talking to liv about this,

0:34:51.040 --> 0:34:53.160
<v Speaker 1>Like we all have like you know, like you get

0:34:53.160 --> 0:34:55.480
<v Speaker 1>your emergency contact when you go to the doctor, Like

0:34:55.480 --> 0:34:57.240
<v Speaker 1>who's the person to call? And you put your wife.

0:34:58.440 --> 0:35:02.360
<v Speaker 1>You're my sports and urgency contact, Like when something happens

0:35:02.760 --> 0:35:05.160
<v Speaker 1>and it's like I gotta talk to someone. You are

0:35:05.239 --> 0:35:07.880
<v Speaker 1>the person I called when I protect you in a

0:35:07.960 --> 0:35:11.440
<v Speaker 1>panic about something that happens in sports, and you don't respond.

0:35:12.320 --> 0:35:14.319
<v Speaker 1>It's because now you have two young kids, and I

0:35:14.400 --> 0:35:17.279
<v Speaker 1>get that, and my kids are older so that you know,

0:35:17.320 --> 0:35:19.399
<v Speaker 1>I have chunks of time where like they're just not

0:35:19.480 --> 0:35:21.239
<v Speaker 1>doing like they don't want anything to do with me

0:35:21.520 --> 0:35:24.640
<v Speaker 1>and so, and you have to be hands on and

0:35:24.680 --> 0:35:29.319
<v Speaker 1>I know that, but also when you don't respond uh immediately,

0:35:30.160 --> 0:35:35.200
<v Speaker 1>it's really it's it's not frustrating. I start to panic

0:35:37.080 --> 0:35:41.440
<v Speaker 1>because I don't know what to do with these feelings. Well, Olivia,

0:35:41.520 --> 0:35:44.000
<v Speaker 1>we like debated the because Matt, well, first, you know

0:35:44.040 --> 0:35:46.000
<v Speaker 1>what Max. Let's get So you similar to me, Like

0:35:46.040 --> 0:35:47.360
<v Speaker 1>you grew up in New York, you grew up in

0:35:47.440 --> 0:35:51.040
<v Speaker 1>Dobbs Ferry. You relocated to Los Angeles at a very

0:35:51.040 --> 0:35:53.640
<v Speaker 1>young age, So you've done I did twenty years New York,

0:35:53.640 --> 0:35:58.280
<v Speaker 1>twenty years l A. You're pretty similar. So like explain

0:35:58.360 --> 0:36:01.920
<v Speaker 1>your sports fandom, like who you root for but also

0:36:02.360 --> 0:36:05.120
<v Speaker 1>having the l A effect of all those decisions. Yeah,

0:36:05.200 --> 0:36:07.160
<v Speaker 1>I won't go I won't go too long on this.

0:36:08.480 --> 0:36:13.440
<v Speaker 1>Where's the Dodgers? Have we? Just everyone's listening. You know

0:36:13.600 --> 0:36:17.359
<v Speaker 1>you You've always been like a Rider Die Knicks fan

0:36:18.480 --> 0:36:21.799
<v Speaker 1>throughout all of it. I would love to say that

0:36:21.880 --> 0:36:24.640
<v Speaker 1>I was the same, but I wasn't. Um. I grew

0:36:24.680 --> 0:36:27.239
<v Speaker 1>up a next fan. I was loved going to the

0:36:27.239 --> 0:36:31.200
<v Speaker 1>garden when I was a kid, and but I I

0:36:31.360 --> 0:36:34.880
<v Speaker 1>sort of lost interest in my twenties, just in basketball

0:36:34.920 --> 0:36:38.200
<v Speaker 1>in general um and I didn't really pick the Knicks

0:36:38.200 --> 0:36:41.120
<v Speaker 1>back up until Melo got traded because I loved Carmelo

0:36:41.239 --> 0:36:44.439
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, here we go. But I would

0:36:44.440 --> 0:36:46.439
<v Speaker 1>say I'm definitely an ex fan, and now more than ever,

0:36:46.800 --> 0:36:49.160
<v Speaker 1>especially in the last couple of years, and I've gotten

0:36:49.160 --> 0:36:51.800
<v Speaker 1>just just so into basketball in general. But I've stayed

0:36:51.840 --> 0:36:55.400
<v Speaker 1>with the next I loved them the Yankees. The Yankees

0:36:55.440 --> 0:36:57.239
<v Speaker 1>had a really tough time with because I think they

0:36:57.239 --> 0:37:01.600
<v Speaker 1>were probably my first love and I love them from

0:37:01.800 --> 0:37:04.759
<v Speaker 1>very young age. And then I remember like getting to

0:37:04.800 --> 0:37:07.800
<v Speaker 1>an age where I was hanging out with my friends

0:37:07.880 --> 0:37:10.960
<v Speaker 1>and we're watching the games, and like, you know, we're

0:37:11.000 --> 0:37:13.400
<v Speaker 1>probably like too young, but we're having a couple of

0:37:13.400 --> 0:37:17.799
<v Speaker 1>beers and hang out with girls and we're watching the games.

0:37:18.040 --> 0:37:20.840
<v Speaker 1>And I remember like being like, this is the best

0:37:20.960 --> 0:37:25.799
<v Speaker 1>version of life there is. And I remember one year

0:37:25.920 --> 0:37:29.799
<v Speaker 1>watching like the year the Jeter threwout one of the

0:37:29.840 --> 0:37:34.200
<v Speaker 1>aid's at home plate, flip at home plate and and

0:37:34.200 --> 0:37:38.520
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, Okay, we with this is the pinnacle.

0:37:39.239 --> 0:37:42.880
<v Speaker 1>And the next year Giambi was on our team and

0:37:43.080 --> 0:37:46.080
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't make sense of that, like why is he

0:37:46.200 --> 0:37:48.960
<v Speaker 1>now one of us? I couldn't. Yeah, I couldn't. I

0:37:49.000 --> 0:37:51.719
<v Speaker 1>couldn't come to grips with it. And then we got

0:37:51.760 --> 0:37:55.080
<v Speaker 1>a rod and I was like, I don't like where

0:37:55.160 --> 0:37:57.840
<v Speaker 1>this is going. And then it donned on me that

0:37:57.920 --> 0:38:00.360
<v Speaker 1>maybe this has been us the whole time, and I

0:38:00.440 --> 0:38:03.359
<v Speaker 1>had a whole reckoning and I sort of when I

0:38:03.400 --> 0:38:05.959
<v Speaker 1>moved to Los Angeles, I was like, forget, I'm done,

0:38:06.160 --> 0:38:08.560
<v Speaker 1>and I just and I'm like, I don't. I won't

0:38:08.600 --> 0:38:10.920
<v Speaker 1>say that I'm a Dodger fan because I think it's

0:38:10.960 --> 0:38:13.399
<v Speaker 1>too hard, but I do like going to Dodger games.

0:38:13.440 --> 0:38:16.440
<v Speaker 1>I love I love the stadium and it's a great vibe,

0:38:16.640 --> 0:38:18.520
<v Speaker 1>and I like the team a lot. Teams really fun.

0:38:19.080 --> 0:38:21.200
<v Speaker 1>I will say Olivia Max had the honor of throwing

0:38:21.239 --> 0:38:23.239
<v Speaker 1>out first pitch at a Dodger game one time. It

0:38:23.239 --> 0:38:25.120
<v Speaker 1>took me to the game. I was trying to get

0:38:25.160 --> 0:38:27.360
<v Speaker 1>in his head so hard. And what did I do?

0:38:27.440 --> 0:38:31.160
<v Speaker 1>I threw a laser. He fired in. I have to

0:38:31.160 --> 0:38:33.799
<v Speaker 1>say he fired in a strike. It was very improsted, though.

0:38:33.800 --> 0:38:35.880
<v Speaker 1>I will say, when I got out there and you

0:38:35.920 --> 0:38:38.520
<v Speaker 1>look up, you you know, you try to be humble

0:38:38.560 --> 0:38:39.960
<v Speaker 1>about the whole thing. You put your head down, you

0:38:39.960 --> 0:38:41.640
<v Speaker 1>walk out there and like just walk out to the

0:38:41.680 --> 0:38:44.000
<v Speaker 1>mound and then you turn around and you look up

0:38:44.040 --> 0:38:47.640
<v Speaker 1>and you see how big that stadium is um and

0:38:47.640 --> 0:38:49.759
<v Speaker 1>there was a lot of people there. If someone had

0:38:49.760 --> 0:38:52.719
<v Speaker 1>woken me up three hours later on a bed or

0:38:52.800 --> 0:38:54.760
<v Speaker 1>like a bench somewhere and they're like, hey man, you fainted,

0:38:54.800 --> 0:38:57.600
<v Speaker 1>I would have been like, totally makes sense. I felt

0:38:57.600 --> 0:39:01.400
<v Speaker 1>like it was coming. That makes sense. It's fine. And

0:39:01.480 --> 0:39:11.120
<v Speaker 1>then football wise, Gettleman really did it to me. He really,

0:39:11.440 --> 0:39:13.680
<v Speaker 1>he really hurt me. And I'm not ready to come

0:39:13.680 --> 0:39:16.840
<v Speaker 1>back yet. And if there was ever a time to

0:39:16.920 --> 0:39:23.120
<v Speaker 1>come back, it's now. But it really just the Odell

0:39:23.200 --> 0:39:27.279
<v Speaker 1>trade killed me. He's my favorite. He's my favorite. I

0:39:27.400 --> 0:39:29.880
<v Speaker 1>love him, and there was no reason for us to

0:39:29.920 --> 0:39:32.600
<v Speaker 1>get rid of him. It really just was done. And

0:39:33.800 --> 0:39:36.200
<v Speaker 1>I didn't like how they phrased it and like they

0:39:36.200 --> 0:39:38.360
<v Speaker 1>were like, we don't let this a culture issue. It

0:39:38.440 --> 0:39:40.360
<v Speaker 1>was too much for me. I can't. I was like,

0:39:40.400 --> 0:39:43.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm out, I can't do this. But they're starting to

0:39:43.960 --> 0:39:47.760
<v Speaker 1>win me back. But again I think NFL. I enjoy

0:39:47.920 --> 0:39:51.520
<v Speaker 1>it's just on a storyline basis. Right now, I've had

0:39:51.560 --> 0:39:56.440
<v Speaker 1>a conscience uncompling with with the Giants. I'm more conscious

0:39:56.480 --> 0:39:59.279
<v Speaker 1>of it than they are. But I'm I'm done for now.

0:40:00.400 --> 0:40:02.799
<v Speaker 1>Well then, did you become a Rams fan, especially when

0:40:02.800 --> 0:40:05.359
<v Speaker 1>they got to b J last year? No? Well, uh,

0:40:06.080 --> 0:40:08.600
<v Speaker 1>because one of the worst, one of the worst sports

0:40:08.640 --> 0:40:10.880
<v Speaker 1>moments for me was watching that because I was like,

0:40:11.120 --> 0:40:14.040
<v Speaker 1>the only vested interest I have in the Super Bowl

0:40:14.320 --> 0:40:16.360
<v Speaker 1>is I think O'Dell is in a really good position

0:40:16.560 --> 0:40:19.239
<v Speaker 1>and I want him to have a game. It was

0:40:19.320 --> 0:40:21.719
<v Speaker 1>like the worst sports moment for me. I was like,

0:40:22.320 --> 0:40:24.520
<v Speaker 1>the only vested interests I had in the game was

0:40:24.640 --> 0:40:27.200
<v Speaker 1>O'Dell having a big game, and I thought he's in

0:40:27.280 --> 0:40:29.600
<v Speaker 1>good position. And then I started to watch the game.

0:40:29.800 --> 0:40:31.480
<v Speaker 1>He had the first two catch, he had the first

0:40:31.480 --> 0:40:33.239
<v Speaker 1>two catches, then he had the touchdown, and I was like,

0:40:33.480 --> 0:40:36.880
<v Speaker 1>let's go, and I was fired up. I was standing

0:40:36.920 --> 0:40:39.719
<v Speaker 1>for you know. I was like, I don't go to games.

0:40:39.719 --> 0:40:42.080
<v Speaker 1>It's too much UM. I like, I get to and

0:40:42.080 --> 0:40:44.239
<v Speaker 1>I get to I get too much anxiety. I like

0:40:44.280 --> 0:40:47.640
<v Speaker 1>to pay some front of TV UM. And so I'm like,

0:40:47.960 --> 0:40:49.719
<v Speaker 1>I'm watching the Amerry. Here we go. And I was

0:40:49.960 --> 0:40:51.919
<v Speaker 1>fired up. And then he went down and you could

0:40:51.960 --> 0:40:54.680
<v Speaker 1>tell that it was bad, and I I turned the

0:40:54.719 --> 0:40:55.880
<v Speaker 1>game off. I was like, I don't wanna watch the

0:40:55.880 --> 0:40:58.520
<v Speaker 1>same w I don't care. I got so sad. It's

0:40:58.520 --> 0:41:02.319
<v Speaker 1>so funny to me. You seem very emotionally invested in

0:41:02.400 --> 0:41:05.480
<v Speaker 1>whether you're throwing that first pitch, watching a game, whatever. Uh.

0:41:05.640 --> 0:41:08.759
<v Speaker 1>You know your job is most people's worst fear, like

0:41:08.840 --> 0:41:13.919
<v Speaker 1>being on camera memorizing lines. It's funny that sports sometimes

0:41:14.120 --> 0:41:16.640
<v Speaker 1>can kind of boil your blood a little bit. If

0:41:16.680 --> 0:41:19.200
<v Speaker 1>you put on a random night of NBA pass. For me,

0:41:20.719 --> 0:41:25.480
<v Speaker 1>it amps up my anxiety in a way that I

0:41:25.520 --> 0:41:28.040
<v Speaker 1>can't walk away from, worse than any set that I've

0:41:28.080 --> 0:41:30.400
<v Speaker 1>ever been on. I don't know, man, I get I

0:41:30.440 --> 0:41:33.400
<v Speaker 1>get competitive with teams. I want teams to win. I

0:41:33.440 --> 0:41:35.799
<v Speaker 1>want other teams, I want other players to play well.

0:41:36.080 --> 0:41:39.080
<v Speaker 1>I just feel very invested. You just want everyone to

0:41:39.120 --> 0:41:41.439
<v Speaker 1>do well. No, I don't want everybody to do well.

0:41:41.640 --> 0:41:44.120
<v Speaker 1>I want certain people to do well. Do you put

0:41:44.160 --> 0:41:47.399
<v Speaker 1>money on games? No? Not every once in a while.

0:41:47.400 --> 0:41:51.520
<v Speaker 1>I'll do it. I'll call Jerry like once every year

0:41:52.000 --> 0:41:54.880
<v Speaker 1>and I'll go, I've got a feeling I was going

0:41:54.960 --> 0:41:57.600
<v Speaker 1>to tell you that you probably shouldn't because I think

0:41:57.640 --> 0:42:01.399
<v Speaker 1>you're already. It does not much for you. It does

0:42:01.480 --> 0:42:04.320
<v Speaker 1>nothing for me. Now, the money thing does nothing for

0:42:04.400 --> 0:42:07.120
<v Speaker 1>me emotionally if I lose it, it makes complete sense

0:42:07.160 --> 0:42:08.840
<v Speaker 1>to me because I'm like, of course, of course you

0:42:08.920 --> 0:42:13.080
<v Speaker 1>lost your losing and when I went on like this,

0:42:13.800 --> 0:42:16.040
<v Speaker 1>you should have bet a million. So I'm like this,

0:42:16.040 --> 0:42:18.759
<v Speaker 1>this is stupid. Why why do this? We're gonna get

0:42:18.800 --> 0:42:20.960
<v Speaker 1>into some of your calls because we're gonna do some

0:42:21.080 --> 0:42:23.720
<v Speaker 1>mid season let's go a war, let's go and Olivia,

0:42:23.760 --> 0:42:26.399
<v Speaker 1>I cannot wait to tell you who he called me up.

0:42:26.560 --> 0:42:30.879
<v Speaker 1>I still I still think it might come. I've given

0:42:30.960 --> 0:42:33.279
<v Speaker 1>him time the simmer down on this on this bet

0:42:33.320 --> 0:42:37.480
<v Speaker 1>because I actually like, I love it. I'm trying to

0:42:37.520 --> 0:42:39.839
<v Speaker 1>help him out. We're gonna we're gonna get that. Sorry

0:42:39.840 --> 0:42:42.640
<v Speaker 1>to interrupting, Olivia, continue with the question, but we Yeah.

0:42:42.680 --> 0:42:44.560
<v Speaker 1>I can't wait to hear your take on this bet

0:42:44.560 --> 0:42:48.640
<v Speaker 1>that he likes, because you've your your story with your sports.

0:42:48.640 --> 0:42:51.080
<v Speaker 1>Fandom has a lot to do with storylines, like you mentioned,

0:42:51.120 --> 0:42:54.000
<v Speaker 1>following certain players and getting mad about certain players coming

0:42:54.040 --> 0:42:57.000
<v Speaker 1>and going. But I think the geography is an aspect

0:42:57.040 --> 0:42:59.000
<v Speaker 1>of it You've got to touch on because growing up

0:42:59.000 --> 0:43:01.399
<v Speaker 1>New York now living in l A but spent one

0:43:01.520 --> 0:43:04.520
<v Speaker 1>year one year at the University of Wisconsin, which is

0:43:04.719 --> 0:43:06.279
<v Speaker 1>that's kind of like my team my husband went there

0:43:06.320 --> 0:43:10.200
<v Speaker 1>were big Wisconsin. Yeah, I love Madison. So I've got

0:43:10.200 --> 0:43:13.840
<v Speaker 1>to ask, did that sprinkle in some like Midwest goodness

0:43:14.040 --> 0:43:19.480
<v Speaker 1>in your sports buffet? Yeah? I sort of. How do

0:43:19.520 --> 0:43:25.040
<v Speaker 1>I put this sort of cruised through through the Midwest

0:43:26.800 --> 0:43:29.560
<v Speaker 1>on your way to l Yeah, yeah, yeah, just like

0:43:29.640 --> 0:43:32.680
<v Speaker 1>a long pit stop stop over that a little long stopover.

0:43:32.800 --> 0:43:36.680
<v Speaker 1>Don't remember most of it. Had a good time though,

0:43:39.880 --> 0:43:47.319
<v Speaker 1>Bach's Baby, Yeah, the best. Yeah, very good social scene there. Yeah,

0:43:49.719 --> 0:43:53.120
<v Speaker 1>a lot of places to just lay down and pass

0:43:53.200 --> 0:43:58.520
<v Speaker 1>out if if you've had a few too many. Oh

0:43:58.560 --> 0:44:04.200
<v Speaker 1>my god, we're gonna get into some NFL mid season awards.

0:44:04.360 --> 0:44:08.000
<v Speaker 1>You're no stranger to awards. That the emotional part for you,

0:44:08.120 --> 0:44:10.560
<v Speaker 1>I think is why we've always gotten along so well too,

0:44:10.600 --> 0:44:13.319
<v Speaker 1>because we're we also are very We don't like when

0:44:13.360 --> 0:44:16.720
<v Speaker 1>players have like meltdowns. We feel very bad. It hurts

0:44:16.760 --> 0:44:20.759
<v Speaker 1>to watch. We don't well. But I also think we

0:44:20.840 --> 0:44:23.440
<v Speaker 1>relate to them. We relate to them because Max and

0:44:23.480 --> 0:44:26.440
<v Speaker 1>I have had many Max I was invited to the

0:44:26.520 --> 0:44:29.800
<v Speaker 1>O eight Giants Super Bowl verse the undefeated Pats. Max,

0:44:29.920 --> 0:44:31.880
<v Speaker 1>we could have went. Do you know where we watched

0:44:31.880 --> 0:44:34.320
<v Speaker 1>the game like we watched the week before. You remember

0:44:34.360 --> 0:44:37.680
<v Speaker 1>the Packer game when times missed. Max and I held

0:44:37.760 --> 0:44:42.200
<v Speaker 1>hands in overtime for the final field never held hands

0:44:42.200 --> 0:44:44.440
<v Speaker 1>with a grown man during a sporting event watching a

0:44:44.480 --> 0:44:46.479
<v Speaker 1>field goal. We held hands and him and I watched

0:44:46.520 --> 0:44:48.920
<v Speaker 1>the Super Bowl like alone, like us two, because we

0:44:48.960 --> 0:44:53.200
<v Speaker 1>were we couldn't emotionally handle going to a giant super Bowl.

0:44:53.400 --> 0:44:57.600
<v Speaker 1>I can't emotionally handle watching most most games. So when

0:44:57.640 --> 0:45:03.360
<v Speaker 1>I witnessed to a professional athlete having a mental breakdown

0:45:04.480 --> 0:45:07.879
<v Speaker 1>on a big stage, it makes sense to me, go,

0:45:08.000 --> 0:45:11.200
<v Speaker 1>of course, this is exactly what I would do. All right,

0:45:11.239 --> 0:45:13.000
<v Speaker 1>should we get into it, Olivia, So we get into

0:45:13.000 --> 0:45:26.319
<v Speaker 1>some mid season awards, we're gonna do it. Okay, it's

0:45:26.320 --> 0:45:29.680
<v Speaker 1>not that it's really not. I'm not. I'm definitely I'm

0:45:29.719 --> 0:45:32.960
<v Speaker 1>not the first person to upset. It was a little

0:45:33.000 --> 0:45:35.800
<v Speaker 1>hotter a couple of weeks ago when I call Jerry

0:45:35.800 --> 0:45:40.279
<v Speaker 1>about it, But I still believe it. It's more so

0:45:41.040 --> 0:45:43.960
<v Speaker 1>tell me, someone tells me, all right, well we'll start

0:45:44.000 --> 0:45:49.439
<v Speaker 1>with that category. Okay, let's mid season. We're calling these

0:45:49.480 --> 0:45:53.239
<v Speaker 1>the midseas. Alright, let's do the mid season NFL m

0:45:53.320 --> 0:45:55.200
<v Speaker 1>v P. Do you want nominees or you just want

0:45:55.200 --> 0:45:57.960
<v Speaker 1>to say who you think it is. Max. Look, I

0:45:58.000 --> 0:45:59.759
<v Speaker 1>think right now, if you're gonna give it to down

0:45:59.800 --> 0:46:02.640
<v Speaker 1>but probably give it to Josh Allen, I think you

0:46:02.680 --> 0:46:06.239
<v Speaker 1>can make a good argument for Jalen Hurts. But what

0:46:06.400 --> 0:46:09.200
<v Speaker 1>I think could happen, and this is what happens when

0:46:09.280 --> 0:46:12.160
<v Speaker 1>you know with like the Emmy Awards of the Oscars,

0:46:13.200 --> 0:46:17.680
<v Speaker 1>the story and the storyline which you talked about before, Olivia,

0:46:17.800 --> 0:46:21.160
<v Speaker 1>I like the stories. I think what could happen here

0:46:22.080 --> 0:46:25.000
<v Speaker 1>is if Mahomes starts to pick it up and it's

0:46:25.040 --> 0:46:28.880
<v Speaker 1>more and has more consistent big games, he and Josh

0:46:28.920 --> 0:46:33.200
<v Speaker 1>Allen could very likely cancel each other out, which is

0:46:33.239 --> 0:46:36.279
<v Speaker 1>my hope. But who do you really believe if if

0:46:36.400 --> 0:46:39.239
<v Speaker 1>Jalen Hurts keeps playing the way that he that that

0:46:39.440 --> 0:46:42.480
<v Speaker 1>he has been playing, and I got their schedule is

0:46:42.719 --> 0:46:48.200
<v Speaker 1>really open to I don't. I can't necessarily see the

0:46:48.320 --> 0:46:52.359
<v Speaker 1>loss right now in that schedule for them, So it

0:46:52.400 --> 0:46:56.040
<v Speaker 1>could end up being a Jalen Hurt situation. Having said that,

0:46:56.560 --> 0:47:01.080
<v Speaker 1>if Cowboys could beat Philly in what will be a

0:47:01.160 --> 0:47:04.760
<v Speaker 1>huge game and it continues to play out this way,

0:47:04.960 --> 0:47:07.719
<v Speaker 1>I think there's a good chance for Michael Parsons to

0:47:07.760 --> 0:47:12.000
<v Speaker 1>be the guy. Things are changing in the world and

0:47:12.080 --> 0:47:15.040
<v Speaker 1>it's time for a defensive player to win it. And

0:47:15.200 --> 0:47:18.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't if every interview you see with this guy,

0:47:19.080 --> 0:47:23.600
<v Speaker 1>he says the things that every NFL player and old

0:47:23.640 --> 0:47:28.279
<v Speaker 1>school NFL player and coach or historian wants to hear

0:47:28.360 --> 0:47:31.239
<v Speaker 1>a guy say. He is so team first, he is

0:47:31.320 --> 0:47:37.520
<v Speaker 1>so dedicated, and he is and he's also clearly the

0:47:37.560 --> 0:47:40.719
<v Speaker 1>best defensive player on the team. And I think it

0:47:40.800 --> 0:47:43.960
<v Speaker 1>was I think it was really evident when Dak was

0:47:44.000 --> 0:47:46.399
<v Speaker 1>not the quarterback and he was carrying that team, when

0:47:46.400 --> 0:47:49.239
<v Speaker 1>you thought they were completely when Dac went down, you go, oh,

0:47:49.280 --> 0:47:52.000
<v Speaker 1>the Cowboys are gonna lose every game this year, and

0:47:52.000 --> 0:47:54.800
<v Speaker 1>you're like, I guess they're not because of their middle lineback,

0:47:55.680 --> 0:47:59.160
<v Speaker 1>who also is their defensive end, who also plays like

0:47:59.280 --> 0:48:02.920
<v Speaker 1>no stack. You're like, this guy is crazy, and he

0:48:03.120 --> 0:48:06.160
<v Speaker 1>carried them through those games. And then all of a sudden,

0:48:06.200 --> 0:48:08.560
<v Speaker 1>you see him like pick up a fumble against Chicago

0:48:08.640 --> 0:48:10.400
<v Speaker 1>and run it back into the ends, and you're like,

0:48:10.640 --> 0:48:12.799
<v Speaker 1>he's having these moments. And if he continues to have

0:48:12.880 --> 0:48:15.360
<v Speaker 1>those moments and he has a couple more big games,

0:48:15.640 --> 0:48:19.200
<v Speaker 1>and if he can beat Philly in that second, in

0:48:19.239 --> 0:48:24.200
<v Speaker 1>that rematch later in the season, and again Josh Allen

0:48:24.600 --> 0:48:28.640
<v Speaker 1>and uh and Mahomes just have this duel with one

0:48:28.680 --> 0:48:30.719
<v Speaker 1>another because, by the way, let me tell you something,

0:48:30.840 --> 0:48:36.040
<v Speaker 1>Josh Allen a lot of turnovers. They're not they're not

0:48:36.160 --> 0:48:38.960
<v Speaker 1>totally costly for the team, and I respect them because

0:48:39.000 --> 0:48:43.359
<v Speaker 1>that guy plays. He's on another level right now, and

0:48:43.520 --> 0:48:46.040
<v Speaker 1>it feels like every time he throws a pick, it

0:48:46.160 --> 0:48:48.720
<v Speaker 1>is just part of what he's doing and it doesn't

0:48:48.760 --> 0:48:52.560
<v Speaker 1>seem to hurt them in there in whatever situation they're in.

0:48:52.760 --> 0:48:55.440
<v Speaker 1>But a lot of turnovers for that guy. And then

0:48:55.480 --> 0:48:57.759
<v Speaker 1>Mahomes has these games where you're like, where'd he go?

0:48:58.200 --> 0:49:01.000
<v Speaker 1>And then the next week it's like you seven touchdowns?

0:49:01.040 --> 0:49:03.520
<v Speaker 1>You know, like there. Do you know what the Mica

0:49:03.640 --> 0:49:05.879
<v Speaker 1>Parsons odds are? Max? Do you even want to hear

0:49:06.400 --> 0:49:08.800
<v Speaker 1>what the I think last time we checked it was

0:49:08.840 --> 0:49:12.719
<v Speaker 1>two hundred. What's that now? I mean, it's it's it's

0:49:12.760 --> 0:49:16.800
<v Speaker 1>different all it's like over plus twenty thousand. He's like,

0:49:20.000 --> 0:49:22.600
<v Speaker 1>he's twenty in odds. Once you get he is the

0:49:22.600 --> 0:49:27.440
<v Speaker 1>first defensive player I hate. Know what I'm saying is

0:49:27.719 --> 0:49:31.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm with you. I look at it like divited Max

0:49:31.880 --> 0:49:34.759
<v Speaker 1>on our show. He got his daughter's headphones. He was

0:49:34.800 --> 0:49:36.640
<v Speaker 1>really excited to share this with us, and we just

0:49:36.680 --> 0:49:38.640
<v Speaker 1>spat it back in his face. No, I'm with them,

0:49:38.760 --> 0:49:41.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm with him. I just I don't think it happens

0:49:41.320 --> 0:49:45.600
<v Speaker 1>that way. You invited me. I'm trying to say, you

0:49:45.640 --> 0:49:49.000
<v Speaker 1>are right. Unfortunately, the system is against you. So this

0:49:49.120 --> 0:49:52.720
<v Speaker 1>big man will lose, not because you're wrong, because the system.

0:49:52.920 --> 0:49:56.600
<v Speaker 1>He'll win. Defensive player in the landslide, that's his m VP. However,

0:49:59.000 --> 0:50:02.239
<v Speaker 1>but to follow your I'm a sucker for storylines. That's

0:50:02.239 --> 0:50:05.520
<v Speaker 1>why I'm ahead of him, no one. He's the favorite,

0:50:05.480 --> 0:50:08.840
<v Speaker 1>and he's the clear defensive by like a lot. Uh.

0:50:09.160 --> 0:50:11.399
<v Speaker 1>But then you talked about the Eagles rematch. He also

0:50:11.440 --> 0:50:16.480
<v Speaker 1>has the Giants on Thanksgiving. I've spent fifteen Thanksgivings at

0:50:16.480 --> 0:50:18.680
<v Speaker 1>your family's house. Has never been a good football game

0:50:18.680 --> 0:50:21.200
<v Speaker 1>on once in those fifteen years. This is the first one.

0:50:22.000 --> 0:50:24.359
<v Speaker 1>If he puts on the show on Thanksgiving with the

0:50:24.360 --> 0:50:28.160
<v Speaker 1>world watching and then does something hold and hold the

0:50:28.239 --> 0:50:31.640
<v Speaker 1>turkey over his head, we could put a dollar on it.

0:50:31.719 --> 0:50:33.759
<v Speaker 1>Let's put a dollar on it. And Josh Allen just

0:50:33.840 --> 0:50:37.000
<v Speaker 1>keeps going to TDS to olive you who's your mid

0:50:37.080 --> 0:50:39.440
<v Speaker 1>season m v P. Well, I gotta say I'm a

0:50:39.440 --> 0:50:43.040
<v Speaker 1>little bit more intrigued with the Jalen Hurts storyline of

0:50:43.080 --> 0:50:46.160
<v Speaker 1>it then Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes, who we knew

0:50:46.360 --> 0:50:48.600
<v Speaker 1>they'd be in this position halfway through the season, right

0:50:48.640 --> 0:50:50.920
<v Speaker 1>and like you said, they're both right there. I don't

0:50:50.960 --> 0:50:52.880
<v Speaker 1>think they'll cancel it out. I think ultimately one of

0:50:52.920 --> 0:50:55.520
<v Speaker 1>them will edge theg other. But what Jalen Hurts is

0:50:55.560 --> 0:50:58.000
<v Speaker 1>doing is really incredible. What the Eagles are doing is

0:50:58.040 --> 0:51:00.839
<v Speaker 1>really incredible. So um, I kind of feel the same

0:51:00.840 --> 0:51:03.000
<v Speaker 1>way with like Coach of the Year. I love going

0:51:03.040 --> 0:51:05.239
<v Speaker 1>for a storyline of really, who are we more impressed with?

0:51:05.800 --> 0:51:08.480
<v Speaker 1>Very true coach of the year. I'll give you nominee,

0:51:08.480 --> 0:51:10.520
<v Speaker 1>I'll give you like the top four, But who was

0:51:10.600 --> 0:51:12.439
<v Speaker 1>your coach of the year for the first half? Max

0:51:12.440 --> 0:51:14.960
<v Speaker 1>and Olivia? We have Nick Sirianni who was the favorite

0:51:15.000 --> 0:51:18.359
<v Speaker 1>to win as right now, Brian Dable who I think

0:51:18.520 --> 0:51:20.120
<v Speaker 1>he's who I would be if I was a coach.

0:51:20.760 --> 0:51:26.359
<v Speaker 1>Kevin O'Connell Minnesota Viking's getting whatsoever. That's very generous, meaning

0:51:26.400 --> 0:51:28.080
<v Speaker 1>like I'd be wearing the Jordan's like him. I'd be

0:51:28.120 --> 0:51:31.760
<v Speaker 1>wearing the Jordan three is Brian Jordan three. That's and

0:51:31.760 --> 0:51:35.040
<v Speaker 1>and uh, the the old guy in the group, Pete Carroll,

0:51:35.320 --> 0:51:38.759
<v Speaker 1>the old guy in the group. Unless you have someone else, Max,

0:51:38.800 --> 0:51:41.680
<v Speaker 1>I'll start with you. Who's your first half coach of

0:51:41.719 --> 0:51:45.880
<v Speaker 1>the year in the NFL. It's hard not to say

0:51:46.080 --> 0:51:50.120
<v Speaker 1>Sirianni Yeah, because he came in hot last year and

0:51:50.160 --> 0:51:52.480
<v Speaker 1>he was doing from all the reports, he was doing that,

0:51:52.600 --> 0:51:54.319
<v Speaker 1>you know, the cool stuff in the locker room. We're

0:51:54.360 --> 0:51:56.680
<v Speaker 1>making signs and like getting these guys hyped up in

0:51:56.719 --> 0:51:59.799
<v Speaker 1>like a high school football kind of way, and you go, well,

0:51:59.800 --> 0:52:02.000
<v Speaker 1>this goes one of two ways. Either they're like this

0:52:02.040 --> 0:52:06.319
<v Speaker 1>guy is a nerd or he's really trying to galvanize

0:52:06.360 --> 0:52:12.000
<v Speaker 1>this right, And they clearly bet on Jalen Hurts when

0:52:12.040 --> 0:52:15.719
<v Speaker 1>people were sort of like, I don't know, and team

0:52:15.760 --> 0:52:20.759
<v Speaker 1>looks awesome and they're all playing incredibly hard, and didn't

0:52:20.760 --> 0:52:24.799
<v Speaker 1>they just get Robert They they're just loaded all over

0:52:24.840 --> 0:52:28.440
<v Speaker 1>the plane. They're just they're loading out on the plan. Yeah,

0:52:28.480 --> 0:52:32.799
<v Speaker 1>they're playing out of their minds and Jalen Hurts looks incredible,

0:52:33.440 --> 0:52:38.520
<v Speaker 1>so it feels like it's all a product of that guy.

0:52:38.600 --> 0:52:40.440
<v Speaker 1>And so I think it's tough not to give it

0:52:40.480 --> 0:52:43.440
<v Speaker 1>to him. Although the Pete Carroll's stories character great, I'm

0:52:43.440 --> 0:52:46.120
<v Speaker 1>gonna give you an all So for me obvious Homer pick,

0:52:46.280 --> 0:52:50.200
<v Speaker 1>it's Brian Dable. Now, I think Philly, Yes, Sirianni is amazing.

0:52:50.200 --> 0:52:51.840
<v Speaker 1>If they go on defeated, it's like a no brainer.

0:52:51.920 --> 0:52:55.560
<v Speaker 1>But you could almost say GM of the Year Philly

0:52:55.800 --> 0:52:59.520
<v Speaker 1>for sure. That team top to bottom is so complete.

0:52:59.680 --> 0:53:04.400
<v Speaker 1>Brian and Dabele has one games literally out coaching people

0:53:04.680 --> 0:53:08.440
<v Speaker 1>like coaching decisions in the game has caused his team

0:53:08.680 --> 0:53:12.320
<v Speaker 1>to win they should have games they shouldn't be winning.

0:53:12.400 --> 0:53:15.040
<v Speaker 1>That's why I vote for Dable. Now, I don't know

0:53:15.080 --> 0:53:17.200
<v Speaker 1>about the long term, but through the first half of me,

0:53:17.440 --> 0:53:22.239
<v Speaker 1>it's Jordan's cement threes wearing Brian Dables. I've got to

0:53:22.280 --> 0:53:25.120
<v Speaker 1>go with Dave all two for the value as well.

0:53:25.160 --> 0:53:27.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean he's plus three d Siriani's minus one oh five.

0:53:28.320 --> 0:53:31.439
<v Speaker 1>And also when we were talking about storylines of who

0:53:31.440 --> 0:53:33.640
<v Speaker 1>predicted this, no one predicted a six in one record

0:53:33.800 --> 0:53:36.880
<v Speaker 1>and the streak of fourth quarter comebacks. That's good coaching.

0:53:37.400 --> 0:53:40.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm liking this one's gonna be fun. Can go ahead?

0:53:40.520 --> 0:53:43.440
<v Speaker 1>Can I just make a suggestion throw some units on

0:53:43.520 --> 0:53:46.920
<v Speaker 1>Mica and then throw some units on Syrian and just

0:53:47.000 --> 0:53:52.000
<v Speaker 1>to like, Okay, this one's gonna be fun. Okay, because

0:53:52.040 --> 0:53:54.560
<v Speaker 1>I had to do some research back to the beginning

0:53:54.560 --> 0:53:57.080
<v Speaker 1>of the odds. This is what are we're the biggest

0:53:57.320 --> 0:54:00.640
<v Speaker 1>bust bets? Like, if you made this prec eason bet

0:54:00.760 --> 0:54:03.400
<v Speaker 1>on this team, what do you think is the biggest bust?

0:54:03.440 --> 0:54:06.760
<v Speaker 1>We have the Raiders to win the a f C West,

0:54:06.800 --> 0:54:09.720
<v Speaker 1>which started at plus six fifty Now it's plus forty

0:54:09.800 --> 0:54:11.840
<v Speaker 1>four hundred. So when the a f C, a lot

0:54:11.880 --> 0:54:13.160
<v Speaker 1>of people took the Raiders to win the a f

0:54:13.200 --> 0:54:16.960
<v Speaker 1>C West, Green Bay Packers sorry Olivia to win the

0:54:17.040 --> 0:54:19.839
<v Speaker 1>NFC or North. They were minus one fifty five now

0:54:19.880 --> 0:54:22.759
<v Speaker 1>plus eight fifty. Broncoes to when the a f C

0:54:22.960 --> 0:54:27.160
<v Speaker 1>West started at plus sixty now plus thirty four, Tom

0:54:27.200 --> 0:54:29.920
<v Speaker 1>Brady Tampa Bay Bucks to win the NFC South minus

0:54:30.000 --> 0:54:33.040
<v Speaker 1>two seventy five now minus one thirty five and last

0:54:33.440 --> 0:54:36.040
<v Speaker 1>max is almost l a Rams to win the NFC

0:54:36.120 --> 0:54:40.320
<v Speaker 1>West plus one two plus four forty who's the biggest bust?

0:54:40.320 --> 0:54:43.719
<v Speaker 1>If you made that preseason bet, you're just like instantly ripped,

0:54:43.840 --> 0:54:47.160
<v Speaker 1>ripped that ticket up some of those you could, like Denver,

0:54:48.480 --> 0:54:51.439
<v Speaker 1>that division is so hard that you were like, it's

0:54:51.520 --> 0:54:53.600
<v Speaker 1>hard to tell what's going to right in there, and

0:54:54.000 --> 0:54:58.080
<v Speaker 1>it's crazy what's happened with that entire division. But so

0:54:58.120 --> 0:54:59.719
<v Speaker 1>I think it was hard to judge what that was

0:54:59.719 --> 0:55:01.680
<v Speaker 1>going to be. And the Raiders, I guess fall into

0:55:01.719 --> 0:55:04.680
<v Speaker 1>that category as well. They got shut out, which I

0:55:04.680 --> 0:55:09.279
<v Speaker 1>still can't believe. I lost mone Midfield, Like that's gonna

0:55:09.280 --> 0:55:15.200
<v Speaker 1>beat memory we have. Yeah, yeah, they look, it's really

0:55:15.400 --> 0:55:18.000
<v Speaker 1>confusing as to what's going on over there. But I

0:55:18.040 --> 0:55:22.000
<v Speaker 1>think Green Bay, for sure, I think enough people and look,

0:55:22.040 --> 0:55:23.879
<v Speaker 1>I'm not a nice girl. I don't I don't, you know.

0:55:24.400 --> 0:55:26.640
<v Speaker 1>I only listened to a bunch of different podcasts where

0:55:26.640 --> 0:55:29.560
<v Speaker 1>other people talk about this stuff. But preseason, you know,

0:55:29.640 --> 0:55:31.560
<v Speaker 1>it seemed like a lot of people were on Green

0:55:31.600 --> 0:55:36.520
<v Speaker 1>Bay and they were saying the defense and maybe Devontae

0:55:36.600 --> 0:55:40.520
<v Speaker 1>had like these young receivers and and so I think

0:55:40.560 --> 0:55:43.279
<v Speaker 1>they've been surprising because I don't know, I don't know

0:55:43.280 --> 0:55:46.240
<v Speaker 1>where they go from here, Like I don't see the upside.

0:55:46.480 --> 0:55:48.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't see like I don't know. You look at

0:55:48.600 --> 0:55:50.800
<v Speaker 1>the beginning of the NBA season, and you know, Philly

0:55:50.840 --> 0:55:53.080
<v Speaker 1>had didn't win their first couple of games, and everybody's

0:55:53.120 --> 0:55:55.200
<v Speaker 1>like where they You're like, no, they'll figure it out.

0:55:55.280 --> 0:55:58.600
<v Speaker 1>That team is good. They're just having a slow start

0:55:59.080 --> 0:56:02.759
<v Speaker 1>with Green Bay. I don't know. I don't know. I

0:56:02.760 --> 0:56:05.520
<v Speaker 1>don't see the turnaround happen out and I saw recently

0:56:05.520 --> 0:56:09.160
<v Speaker 1>like like whatever the rest of their schedule is. Yeah,

0:56:09.200 --> 0:56:12.399
<v Speaker 1>they go into Buffalo and the Vikings are running away

0:56:12.400 --> 0:56:14.920
<v Speaker 1>with Olivia knows this brute, Olivia, how do you feel?

0:56:15.280 --> 0:56:17.719
<v Speaker 1>Is that your bet? Is that your biggest bust? Well,

0:56:17.719 --> 0:56:19.359
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying to do the math on all of these

0:56:19.400 --> 0:56:21.560
<v Speaker 1>and I'm realizing I'm really bad at math. I'm like,

0:56:21.600 --> 0:56:25.160
<v Speaker 1>what's the biggest differential? The Raiders had the biggest differential?

0:56:26.000 --> 0:56:29.480
<v Speaker 1>Thank you? But the Packers were favored to begin this

0:56:29.560 --> 0:56:32.759
<v Speaker 1>season to win a division and now are you know,

0:56:33.520 --> 0:56:35.319
<v Speaker 1>pretty heavy on their dogs And it's tough to say

0:56:35.320 --> 0:56:38.320
<v Speaker 1>Broncos after they just won on this side of the pond.

0:56:38.440 --> 0:56:40.840
<v Speaker 1>I guess I gotta think. And again we're stinking of

0:56:40.960 --> 0:56:43.359
<v Speaker 1>storylines because we're all three suckers for that. I guess

0:56:43.960 --> 0:56:46.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm thinking more Tom Brady because not only is his

0:56:46.640 --> 0:56:50.600
<v Speaker 1>team losing, his marriage has lost and crumbled and there's

0:56:50.640 --> 0:56:54.799
<v Speaker 1>been that's just been a bust every since. Yeah, so

0:56:55.160 --> 0:56:56.920
<v Speaker 1>when they were the favorite to win the NFC South

0:56:57.000 --> 0:57:00.840
<v Speaker 1>at minus seventy five and now the freaking Atlanta falconhead

0:57:00.880 --> 0:57:04.200
<v Speaker 1>of them, Like that is a bust, my friend. I'm

0:57:04.200 --> 0:57:06.720
<v Speaker 1>with you for me. It's hard, I say the Raiders

0:57:06.719 --> 0:57:09.000
<v Speaker 1>because I'm so sour. I lost money on them getting

0:57:09.040 --> 0:57:11.399
<v Speaker 1>shut out. I had them in the teaser plus nine

0:57:11.440 --> 0:57:14.319
<v Speaker 1>and they got shut out. So but yeah, I I

0:57:14.360 --> 0:57:16.040
<v Speaker 1>think it has to be the package the Broncos. I

0:57:16.080 --> 0:57:18.240
<v Speaker 1>just don't want to talk about Russell Wilson anymore. You're

0:57:18.240 --> 0:57:21.120
<v Speaker 1>seeing the nerve to say let's ride after winning, like

0:57:21.360 --> 0:57:23.960
<v Speaker 1>that's a thing in the in Denver. It's not a thing.

0:57:24.600 --> 0:57:26.400
<v Speaker 1>It's never been a thing. No one wants it. They

0:57:26.400 --> 0:57:29.000
<v Speaker 1>don't want it. We've given it back. We won't accept

0:57:29.000 --> 0:57:31.040
<v Speaker 1>we we don't accept this gift of let's ride. We

0:57:31.080 --> 0:57:32.800
<v Speaker 1>give it back. You're not a Bronco fan. You don't

0:57:32.800 --> 0:57:36.920
<v Speaker 1>get to speak on their behalf. I absolutely no. But

0:57:36.960 --> 0:57:41.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm just saying it, all right, this could be our

0:57:41.680 --> 0:57:45.640
<v Speaker 1>last one because this one is the most storyline driven.

0:57:45.680 --> 0:57:49.520
<v Speaker 1>It's all storyline, it's all sportswriter driven. It's all opinion

0:57:49.520 --> 0:57:51.680
<v Speaker 1>based for the most part, because it's hard to quantify

0:57:51.720 --> 0:57:54.560
<v Speaker 1>the stats. Comeback Player of the Year okay, and this

0:57:54.600 --> 0:57:58.840
<v Speaker 1>is a real fun one. Say Quon Rill with injuries

0:57:59.040 --> 0:58:02.000
<v Speaker 1>awful injury, I was back as a forces of running back.

0:58:02.240 --> 0:58:06.000
<v Speaker 1>Geno Smith who was almost like not almost out of

0:58:06.000 --> 0:58:08.520
<v Speaker 1>the NFL, never took play again, and now he's he's

0:58:08.560 --> 0:58:13.400
<v Speaker 1>getting MVP talk, which is insane. Christian McCaffrey, who looked

0:58:13.960 --> 0:58:16.560
<v Speaker 1>a lot of injuries too. I don't really see how

0:58:16.600 --> 0:58:18.880
<v Speaker 1>he has come back from much. I don't know. And

0:58:18.880 --> 0:58:23.240
<v Speaker 1>then Derrick Henry quietly last year, big injury, and he's

0:58:23.280 --> 0:58:25.160
<v Speaker 1>been a monster this year and like no one gives

0:58:25.200 --> 0:58:29.000
<v Speaker 1>them any love or whatever. So se Kwan, Gino c Mac,

0:58:29.240 --> 0:58:32.080
<v Speaker 1>Derrick Henry, Max will start with you first half of

0:58:32.120 --> 0:58:34.760
<v Speaker 1>the year. Who's your comeback player. I was listening to

0:58:34.880 --> 0:58:37.280
<v Speaker 1>Simmons podcast the other day and he said they should

0:58:37.320 --> 0:58:42.440
<v Speaker 1>rename the award Smith very true, or give him his own. Yeah,

0:58:42.720 --> 0:58:44.960
<v Speaker 1>I've never seen anything like it. It's the coolest thing ever.

0:58:45.000 --> 0:58:48.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean, look, I understand the coming back there should

0:58:48.280 --> 0:58:51.200
<v Speaker 1>be like come back from Injury award and come back

0:58:51.200 --> 0:58:56.680
<v Speaker 1>from Yeah, but potentially was the greatest running back we

0:58:56.720 --> 0:58:58.880
<v Speaker 1>ever saw, and then it's just been riddled with injury

0:58:58.920 --> 0:59:00.760
<v Speaker 1>and now we're seeing what we've out we were gonna

0:59:00.800 --> 0:59:04.440
<v Speaker 1>see when he was healthy. The Geno Smith thing, this

0:59:04.560 --> 0:59:09.200
<v Speaker 1>never happens. Like there are guys that have good seasons,

0:59:09.480 --> 0:59:11.720
<v Speaker 1>but they're really like just and not that Geno was

0:59:11.760 --> 0:59:14.880
<v Speaker 1>in a bad situation, but Russell Wilson was in the

0:59:14.960 --> 0:59:19.080
<v Speaker 1>same situation last year with healthier left and the year

0:59:19.200 --> 0:59:23.160
<v Speaker 1>and the year before that, and you're like, Geno Smith

0:59:23.240 --> 0:59:27.120
<v Speaker 1>is just making this team come alive. He looks incredible,

0:59:27.360 --> 0:59:29.800
<v Speaker 1>he's throwing he's throwing the deep all in a way

0:59:29.800 --> 0:59:32.160
<v Speaker 1>that you're like, he just dropped I mean, did you

0:59:32.160 --> 0:59:36.080
<v Speaker 1>see the game. Unfortunately, he threw that deep ball to

0:59:36.160 --> 0:59:39.360
<v Speaker 1>Tyler Lockett, who dropped it and it was like in

0:59:39.880 --> 0:59:42.680
<v Speaker 1>his breadbast and then he and then Gino is on

0:59:42.720 --> 0:59:45.120
<v Speaker 1>the sideline. He's talking to Tyler. You could see is

0:59:45.200 --> 0:59:47.280
<v Speaker 1>so upset and Gina was like, who got this man,

0:59:47.280 --> 0:59:49.480
<v Speaker 1>It's good, don't worry about it. And then like, I

0:59:49.480 --> 0:59:52.960
<v Speaker 1>don't know, a quarter later, throws the same pass. Tyler

0:59:53.320 --> 0:59:56.720
<v Speaker 1>catches it and he's like, man, this guy is unbelievable. Well,

0:59:56.720 --> 0:59:59.400
<v Speaker 1>I will say Geno Smith is plus odds. Right now,

0:59:59.400 --> 1:00:01.920
<v Speaker 1>he's plus two sixty or two seventies, so this might

1:00:01.960 --> 1:00:03.400
<v Speaker 1>but this might be the last time you can get

1:00:03.480 --> 1:00:06.479
<v Speaker 1>Geno and plus money. He may slip into minus money

1:00:06.520 --> 1:00:09.320
<v Speaker 1>as the favorite if he continues on this path and

1:00:09.320 --> 1:00:13.480
<v Speaker 1>everyone knows listening, I have my Seahawks plus almost sixteen

1:00:13.560 --> 1:00:15.439
<v Speaker 1>hundred to win the division. I made that bet before

1:00:15.440 --> 1:00:18.040
<v Speaker 1>the year, Max, No one's giving me my credit for

1:00:18.080 --> 1:00:20.600
<v Speaker 1>the accept Olivia. Oliv is the only one that actually

1:00:20.640 --> 1:00:23.520
<v Speaker 1>knows this happened. And hype girl, and we're gonna keep

1:00:23.560 --> 1:00:25.240
<v Speaker 1>the clip of it and play it at the end

1:00:25.240 --> 1:00:27.640
<v Speaker 1>of the season, because what are you what are you

1:00:27.680 --> 1:00:30.040
<v Speaker 1>gonna win? What's at stake? What were the odds and

1:00:30.080 --> 1:00:36.720
<v Speaker 1>you plus plus fifteen? Basically yeah, hunterd wins and something

1:00:36.760 --> 1:00:39.200
<v Speaker 1>dollars hell, yeah, you can buy your plane ticket to

1:00:39.280 --> 1:00:42.200
<v Speaker 1>London that that'll only get you an economy ticket, I'm afraid,

1:00:42.280 --> 1:00:45.480
<v Speaker 1>but you can get over here for our our meeting

1:00:45.520 --> 1:00:49.280
<v Speaker 1>with Peter Andrew. I like that, Max. I want to

1:00:49.280 --> 1:00:54.640
<v Speaker 1>wrap up with something because two things really. One, you know,

1:00:55.360 --> 1:00:57.680
<v Speaker 1>I've played in some of like you know, the celebrity

1:00:57.680 --> 1:01:00.880
<v Speaker 1>basketball games, and you've run like Tria Falons and stuff,

1:01:00.920 --> 1:01:03.640
<v Speaker 1>you're super fit, dude. You early on cross fit. I

1:01:03.680 --> 1:01:06.240
<v Speaker 1>always try to like tell people like I would name

1:01:06.320 --> 1:01:08.920
<v Speaker 1>you if I didn't know you so well, Like who's

1:01:08.960 --> 1:01:11.200
<v Speaker 1>like what actor you don't know? It's like a sneaky

1:01:11.240 --> 1:01:13.560
<v Speaker 1>good athlete, right, you would if if I didn't know

1:01:13.600 --> 1:01:16.840
<v Speaker 1>you well. And I only like participated in a softball

1:01:16.880 --> 1:01:19.720
<v Speaker 1>game about like Greenfield's a good athlete. For me, it

1:01:19.840 --> 1:01:23.160
<v Speaker 1>was Joel McHale. I played in the basketball game. And

1:01:23.200 --> 1:01:27.040
<v Speaker 1>the dude's enormous. He's like six four, got like huge arms,

1:01:27.080 --> 1:01:29.280
<v Speaker 1>he could like jump. Then you see he played football

1:01:29.320 --> 1:01:31.640
<v Speaker 1>for the University of Washington, like the Scout team. I

1:01:31.720 --> 1:01:34.800
<v Speaker 1>think he got a champion, like crazy. So in all

1:01:34.840 --> 1:01:38.760
<v Speaker 1>your athletic moments and working out and stuff like that,

1:01:38.880 --> 1:01:40.880
<v Speaker 1>is there anyone you've come across that you're like, whoa

1:01:40.920 --> 1:01:47.840
<v Speaker 1>this sneaky good athlete? Wow? You know we Jerry and

1:01:47.840 --> 1:01:49.280
<v Speaker 1>I let me. Jerry and I did a show a

1:01:49.280 --> 1:01:51.800
<v Speaker 1>long time ago where it was a fantasy football show

1:01:51.800 --> 1:01:55.200
<v Speaker 1>and would run around and we would interview NFL players

1:01:55.200 --> 1:01:57.080
<v Speaker 1>as a part of the show and we do these

1:01:57.080 --> 1:01:59.760
<v Speaker 1>goofy things with them and sometimes that make the players,

1:02:00.040 --> 1:02:03.280
<v Speaker 1>um the forty dash, like I ran up with Eric

1:02:03.320 --> 1:02:08.600
<v Speaker 1>Berry and and like, I don't think I'm slow, but

1:02:08.680 --> 1:02:11.120
<v Speaker 1>I know that I'm not on the level of these guys.

1:02:11.880 --> 1:02:16.080
<v Speaker 1>It was so shocking to see how much faster Eric

1:02:16.360 --> 1:02:18.640
<v Speaker 1>it was than I was. Where I was like, this

1:02:18.760 --> 1:02:24.400
<v Speaker 1>is this almost doesn't feel real humbling. So, having talked

1:02:24.440 --> 1:02:29.480
<v Speaker 1>to all those guys, you have to differentiate athletic and athlete. Like,

1:02:29.880 --> 1:02:33.800
<v Speaker 1>I think I'm athletic, but am I an athlete? There's

1:02:34.160 --> 1:02:37.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean, there's it's not even close. And so I

1:02:37.960 --> 1:02:42.439
<v Speaker 1>think there are probably a large handful of actors who

1:02:42.440 --> 1:02:46.120
<v Speaker 1>are athletic as am I. But are there a few

1:02:46.280 --> 1:02:49.960
<v Speaker 1>that are like real athletes? I think I mean, you're

1:02:51.120 --> 1:02:55.360
<v Speaker 1>one of your co stars, Omar Omari Hardwick. Yeah, Amari

1:02:55.440 --> 1:02:59.760
<v Speaker 1>played for the Chargers. You played Bogs. He played he

1:03:00.000 --> 1:03:03.080
<v Speaker 1>in Safety of Georgia, and then he played for the

1:03:03.160 --> 1:03:05.800
<v Speaker 1>Charges for like and maybe an off season and then

1:03:05.840 --> 1:03:07.800
<v Speaker 1>he was like I'm out of here and then started acting.

1:03:08.200 --> 1:03:11.360
<v Speaker 1>But like, Amar is a real real athlete. Joe was

1:03:11.400 --> 1:03:13.440
<v Speaker 1>a big dude, And if you play for the University

1:03:13.480 --> 1:03:15.920
<v Speaker 1>of Washington, you're like, you're an athlete. I'm trying to

1:03:15.920 --> 1:03:18.600
<v Speaker 1>think who else, But again, I think there's like a

1:03:18.640 --> 1:03:21.960
<v Speaker 1>lot of guys that are athletic. There are very very

1:03:22.000 --> 1:03:25.480
<v Speaker 1>few real athletes. I'm always I always, I always like

1:03:25.560 --> 1:03:28.440
<v Speaker 1>these guys, like in interviews, like, well, you know I played,

1:03:28.480 --> 1:03:31.040
<v Speaker 1>I was really real ball player, you know, like were you.

1:03:32.600 --> 1:03:35.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure Mike Trout is listening to the podcast, Oh yeah,

1:03:35.920 --> 1:03:39.680
<v Speaker 1>I brought a full circle Trout back up. That's right,

1:03:39.720 --> 1:03:43.160
<v Speaker 1>but that's what I do call back. Oh my god,

1:03:43.200 --> 1:03:45.840
<v Speaker 1>I feel like I gotta just witness just the best

1:03:45.920 --> 1:03:48.560
<v Speaker 1>bromance listening to you guys go back and forth. And

1:03:48.600 --> 1:03:50.520
<v Speaker 1>I love the story about you holding hands starting a

1:03:50.520 --> 1:03:52.440
<v Speaker 1>football game. That one's really gonna stick with me. We

1:03:52.560 --> 1:03:54.920
<v Speaker 1>held hands while Lawrence Times, who was oh for three

1:03:54.960 --> 1:03:57.400
<v Speaker 1>in game winning attempts, had his fourth. This was the

1:03:57.440 --> 1:04:00.760
<v Speaker 1>game that Tom Coughlin's cheeks rose shut and they were

1:04:00.880 --> 1:04:03.480
<v Speaker 1>bright red. All right, last thing and then we'll let

1:04:03.480 --> 1:04:07.919
<v Speaker 1>you go. So unfortunately, and this happens to all actors, Max,

1:04:08.080 --> 1:04:10.160
<v Speaker 1>we are now in this category where I don't think

1:04:10.160 --> 1:04:13.080
<v Speaker 1>we can play athletes anymore. I don't know if we're

1:04:13.120 --> 1:04:15.000
<v Speaker 1>getting an offer. Hey, Max, I want to play like

1:04:15.000 --> 1:04:18.200
<v Speaker 1>the point guard. And it's over. We're in coach territory.

1:04:18.280 --> 1:04:21.800
<v Speaker 1>We're playing coaches. Or assistant trainer, Like, that's just where

1:04:21.800 --> 1:04:25.160
<v Speaker 1>we are. When Vince Carter retired and we officially became

1:04:25.160 --> 1:04:29.240
<v Speaker 1>older than every NBA player, we segued into that part

1:04:29.280 --> 1:04:33.680
<v Speaker 1>of our career. So in in that spirit of all

1:04:33.680 --> 1:04:37.080
<v Speaker 1>the great either coaches or trainer roles or all those

1:04:37.120 --> 1:04:38.840
<v Speaker 1>great things we've seen in all the movies we love

1:04:38.960 --> 1:04:42.080
<v Speaker 1>and Olivia, you could also cast Max in one of these.

1:04:42.120 --> 1:04:45.440
<v Speaker 1>If one pops out to you, is there a coach

1:04:45.560 --> 1:04:48.920
<v Speaker 1>or trainer role in all our favorite sports movies that

1:04:49.040 --> 1:04:52.800
<v Speaker 1>you would say? Wait? Are these? These are roles that

1:04:52.960 --> 1:04:55.360
<v Speaker 1>other people have played. Yeah, let's like, which one would

1:04:55.360 --> 1:04:56.800
<v Speaker 1>you like? I'll give you something like you have al

1:04:56.880 --> 1:05:00.640
<v Speaker 1>Pacino any given Sunday, you have Tom Hanks leading, you

1:05:00.720 --> 1:05:03.920
<v Speaker 1>have coach Eric Taylor or Billy Bob Thornton and Friday

1:05:04.000 --> 1:05:06.920
<v Speaker 1>Night Lights. You know, there's a million of those. You

1:05:06.920 --> 1:05:09.920
<v Speaker 1>could even go like Carl Weather's Happy Gilmore. Let's leave

1:05:09.960 --> 1:05:12.360
<v Speaker 1>coach Eric Taylor right where he is. I kind of

1:05:12.520 --> 1:05:14.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to make like Eric Taylor. Oh, I

1:05:14.440 --> 1:05:16.360
<v Speaker 1>like Eric Taylor. That's the one I would have picked

1:05:16.360 --> 1:05:17.880
<v Speaker 1>Max for. I feel like Max would have been a

1:05:17.920 --> 1:05:21.640
<v Speaker 1>good clear eyes full hearts can't lose. Oh no, it

1:05:21.680 --> 1:05:25.280
<v Speaker 1>would be terrible. Would have I would have I would

1:05:25.280 --> 1:05:30.320
<v Speaker 1>have galvanized last week you said those kids, those high

1:05:30.360 --> 1:05:33.240
<v Speaker 1>school kids. Those kids would have been like, what is it?

1:05:34.240 --> 1:05:36.040
<v Speaker 1>Who's the tough one? Who's like the one from like

1:05:36.160 --> 1:05:42.320
<v Speaker 1>the you know movie what's his name? Movie? Or the show? Yeah? Different? Oh?

1:05:42.440 --> 1:05:44.320
<v Speaker 1>Is it different? I never saw the show. I hear

1:05:44.320 --> 1:05:47.680
<v Speaker 1>it's great, but whatever it was you gal and Garrett

1:05:47.720 --> 1:05:51.640
<v Speaker 1>headin Garrett Headland's character, Oh that's the movie version. Yeah. Yeah,

1:05:51.680 --> 1:05:53.440
<v Speaker 1>he would have been like, I'm gonna fight this. I'm

1:05:53.440 --> 1:05:57.640
<v Speaker 1>gonna fight coach. I don't just sport. What sport? Would

1:05:57.680 --> 1:05:59.120
<v Speaker 1>you want to? Like? I want to be in a

1:05:59.200 --> 1:06:03.640
<v Speaker 1>in this movie playing this kind of role. We can't

1:06:03.760 --> 1:06:07.640
<v Speaker 1>playing endurance endurance sports. You can do some triampleon thing.

1:06:07.800 --> 1:06:11.640
<v Speaker 1>Come on, man, I like iron Man wrestling. If there

1:06:11.720 --> 1:06:17.600
<v Speaker 1>was a wrestling movie, Um, I don't know. I you're

1:06:17.600 --> 1:06:19.840
<v Speaker 1>melting down, you're melting down. I wouldn't buy it. I

1:06:19.880 --> 1:06:22.040
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't if there is there, like an agent, is there

1:06:22.080 --> 1:06:24.280
<v Speaker 1>a sports agent or you know, like Albert Brooks in

1:06:24.320 --> 1:06:35.360
<v Speaker 1>the meeting you know that makes yeah, bit money. Let's

1:06:35.400 --> 1:06:39.680
<v Speaker 1>have a realistic conversation. Yeah, yeah, let's let's let's put

1:06:39.840 --> 1:06:42.360
<v Speaker 1>put a ground on Michael Parsons for m DP too.

1:06:43.880 --> 1:06:48.480
<v Speaker 1>I I do remember that there was Albert Brooks when

1:06:48.520 --> 1:06:51.480
<v Speaker 1>he's when he's like he like bets everything on Michael

1:06:51.520 --> 1:06:55.040
<v Speaker 1>Rappaport being being the guy and it's his first game

1:06:55.080 --> 1:06:58.240
<v Speaker 1>and he won't come out of the bathroom and Michael

1:06:58.320 --> 1:07:01.000
<v Speaker 1>Rapport's going, I need the Lord. And I did not

1:07:01.240 --> 1:07:04.560
<v Speaker 1>pick that of all those amazing roles that I thought

1:07:04.600 --> 1:07:06.600
<v Speaker 1>you would have picked. But yeah, unfortunately we're in We're

1:07:06.600 --> 1:07:11.160
<v Speaker 1>in coach territory. We longer Tom Cruise. Jerry McGuire, Joe.

1:07:11.240 --> 1:07:13.000
<v Speaker 1>Jerry mcgore would be a good Jerry McGuire. You would

1:07:13.080 --> 1:07:15.280
<v Speaker 1>kill that. Yeah, sure, you know what, I'll do the

1:07:15.360 --> 1:07:20.640
<v Speaker 1>Jerry McGuire TV show. Okay, coming to you, Nowney Disney.

1:07:20.920 --> 1:07:23.840
<v Speaker 1>Disney's like, we're gonna do it. Disney plus Jeremy Guard

1:07:24.040 --> 1:07:26.040
<v Speaker 1>like who should we get? Well, a couple of guys

1:07:26.040 --> 1:07:28.720
<v Speaker 1>will pass and then they'll be like what about the

1:07:28.760 --> 1:07:31.080
<v Speaker 1>kind of new girl? And I'll be and I'll be there,

1:07:31.120 --> 1:07:33.439
<v Speaker 1>and I'll be standing there waiting and being like this, listen,

1:07:33.440 --> 1:07:35.120
<v Speaker 1>I just lost a ship a load of money on

1:07:35.160 --> 1:07:37.960
<v Speaker 1>the mic apart in this pike, I'll do it. Give

1:07:37.960 --> 1:07:40.360
<v Speaker 1>me the gig I'm in. Yeah, I mean, Jerry'll be

1:07:40.360 --> 1:07:42.840
<v Speaker 1>standing there holding your hand. I'm gonna buy for the

1:07:42.920 --> 1:07:47.160
<v Speaker 1>Jay Moore role of Sugar Bob Sugar or something like.

1:07:47.160 --> 1:07:50.640
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, buddy. Cannot thank you enough. Everyone you

1:07:50.640 --> 1:07:54.160
<v Speaker 1>can follow Max. I am Greenfield on all platforms. You

1:07:54.200 --> 1:07:56.120
<v Speaker 1>are the man, buddy. I hope you come back as

1:07:56.160 --> 1:07:58.200
<v Speaker 1>the season and we got to get into the woods

1:07:58.200 --> 1:08:01.040
<v Speaker 1>with NBA two down the room. I like to establish

1:08:01.080 --> 1:08:03.720
<v Speaker 1>myself as a reoccurring friend of the friend of the shell.

1:08:04.080 --> 1:08:06.720
<v Speaker 1>Is a friend of the shell? Can you do that? Can?

1:08:07.400 --> 1:08:11.400
<v Speaker 1>Can I establish my own self as yea? And that's

1:08:11.400 --> 1:08:13.320
<v Speaker 1>how you do. Nobody will talk to you about this

1:08:13.360 --> 1:08:16.800
<v Speaker 1>stuff at home. I'll honestly try to have the conversations

1:08:16.840 --> 1:08:20.400
<v Speaker 1>with my my, my twelve year old daughter about this thing. Hey,

1:08:20.600 --> 1:08:23.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if you're following them, so, I mean, basically,

1:08:23.439 --> 1:08:27.840
<v Speaker 1>Mica is like, I don't know how, I don't I

1:08:27.880 --> 1:08:31.400
<v Speaker 1>don't think you know how rare this history, She says,

1:08:31.479 --> 1:08:39.080
<v Speaker 1>give me my headphones back, I is he on the Demelia.

1:08:39.840 --> 1:08:43.280
<v Speaker 1>Come on, dog, Max, thank you, this is a lot

1:08:43.320 --> 1:08:45.760
<v Speaker 1>of fun. We officially invite you as a recurring guest,

1:08:45.760 --> 1:08:49.599
<v Speaker 1>which we don't give out very liberally. I came, and

1:08:49.640 --> 1:08:52.640
<v Speaker 1>I did, and I can't see. Look, what were the

1:08:52.640 --> 1:08:56.479
<v Speaker 1>odds on me could be becoming a recurring guests? Were

1:08:56.600 --> 1:08:59.320
<v Speaker 1>you were? You were like to plus two hundred coming

1:08:59.360 --> 1:09:01.320
<v Speaker 1>in So a little bit of an underdog, but you

1:09:01.400 --> 1:09:05.080
<v Speaker 1>pulled it through. Thank you, buddy, Thank you. I love

1:09:05.080 --> 1:09:26.880
<v Speaker 1>you guys. All right, sign if I want my favorite

1:09:26.880 --> 1:09:29.120
<v Speaker 1>parts of the show, because we get to talk about wagering,

1:09:29.160 --> 1:09:33.000
<v Speaker 1>We've got to bring in our guy, Peter Andrew mgmbetting

1:09:33.000 --> 1:09:37.880
<v Speaker 1>analysts also teaser winner with a nice backdoor touchdown from

1:09:37.920 --> 1:09:41.679
<v Speaker 1>the Jets. Peter Andrew gets on the board going into

1:09:41.880 --> 1:09:44.720
<v Speaker 1>week nine, How are you doing, Pete? Feel better now?

1:09:44.840 --> 1:09:49.160
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't stand given the customers another losing week. So

1:09:49.720 --> 1:09:52.040
<v Speaker 1>we're up a couple of units. We're moving in the

1:09:52.120 --> 1:09:54.920
<v Speaker 1>right direction, like you said. So yeah, looking forward to

1:09:55.000 --> 1:09:58.320
<v Speaker 1>this week Teaser Central. Yeah. So I'm gonna let you

1:09:58.400 --> 1:09:59.840
<v Speaker 1>choose what you want to kind of start here be

1:10:00.000 --> 1:10:03.720
<v Speaker 1>because the the Thursday night game coming up. This is

1:10:03.760 --> 1:10:05.960
<v Speaker 1>a doozy, it's a it's a real bond burnus. So

1:10:06.200 --> 1:10:08.040
<v Speaker 1>you I and I know you have are you know

1:10:08.120 --> 1:10:09.880
<v Speaker 1>great one game parlays. I don't know if you want

1:10:09.880 --> 1:10:11.439
<v Speaker 1>to start there, if you want to get to your Sunday,

1:10:11.479 --> 1:10:16.320
<v Speaker 1>because making this Thursday's game watchable is is really what

1:10:16.400 --> 1:10:20.719
<v Speaker 1>the parlay is here. Yeah, so first off, the irony

1:10:20.800 --> 1:10:23.280
<v Speaker 1>that the fact that's Philly versus Houston when obviously we're

1:10:23.280 --> 1:10:25.760
<v Speaker 1>in the midst of the World Series. Crazy, but that's

1:10:25.800 --> 1:10:28.760
<v Speaker 1>God speaking to us. We'll start there. I really like

1:10:28.840 --> 1:10:31.080
<v Speaker 1>this one. I know we you and I lots of

1:10:31.080 --> 1:10:34.280
<v Speaker 1>times agree on these are hopefully good same game parlays,

1:10:34.280 --> 1:10:38.000
<v Speaker 1>one game parlays. I really like this one. I've gone

1:10:38.160 --> 1:10:40.920
<v Speaker 1>so this is plus one unit, so we're looking at

1:10:41.000 --> 1:10:43.840
<v Speaker 1>two sixty dollar pay out. That's gonna get everybody back

1:10:43.840 --> 1:10:46.400
<v Speaker 1>to even for the last couple of weeks. So both

1:10:46.439 --> 1:10:49.240
<v Speaker 1>teams traditionally are having trouble defending the run, so I've

1:10:49.320 --> 1:10:52.559
<v Speaker 1>kind of gone in that direction. Start with the Houston Texans.

1:10:52.640 --> 1:10:55.360
<v Speaker 1>Damon Pierce looks like he's probably gonna be the focal

1:10:55.400 --> 1:10:59.360
<v Speaker 1>part of their offense. They're fielding calls today. Today is

1:10:59.400 --> 1:11:02.599
<v Speaker 1>the deadline we're recording on Tuesday. Brandon Cooks might be out,

1:11:03.120 --> 1:11:06.800
<v Speaker 1>so I love Damian Pierce. Score touchdown, and then I've

1:11:06.840 --> 1:11:08.960
<v Speaker 1>gone a little under their average of what they're scoring

1:11:09.000 --> 1:11:11.559
<v Speaker 1>per game in terms of rushing yards, So sixty nine

1:11:11.560 --> 1:11:13.599
<v Speaker 1>and a half rushing yards from him on the opposite

1:11:13.600 --> 1:11:17.320
<v Speaker 1>side of the ball, looking at Miles Sanders anytime touchdown

1:11:17.720 --> 1:11:19.760
<v Speaker 1>and then looking at him over seventy four and a half.

1:11:19.760 --> 1:11:22.479
<v Speaker 1>So again a little bit of buffer between that average

1:11:22.479 --> 1:11:25.040
<v Speaker 1>amount of yardage they're seeing from a rushing perspective each game.

1:11:25.720 --> 1:11:27.839
<v Speaker 1>I love both of those players to dominate the offense

1:11:27.840 --> 1:11:29.400
<v Speaker 1>on Thursday. I think you're gonna see a little bit

1:11:29.439 --> 1:11:32.400
<v Speaker 1>less a j Brown, not necessarily three touchdowns. Again, with

1:11:32.479 --> 1:11:34.519
<v Speaker 1>all that said, I know we disagree on this last part,

1:11:34.560 --> 1:11:37.360
<v Speaker 1>but Eagles minus thirteen and a half, I just I've

1:11:37.400 --> 1:11:40.760
<v Speaker 1>seen no flaws in their game. They look excellent. I'm

1:11:40.800 --> 1:11:43.280
<v Speaker 1>just riding that wave. But you think a little bit differently,

1:11:43.280 --> 1:11:45.560
<v Speaker 1>possibly on that last leg. You know, I said it

1:11:45.600 --> 1:11:47.320
<v Speaker 1>in our and when Olivia and I did like our

1:11:47.840 --> 1:11:52.599
<v Speaker 1>preseason look ins, the Texans always have one shocking win

1:11:53.080 --> 1:11:56.000
<v Speaker 1>per year. Um, I like, this is a tall order,

1:11:56.040 --> 1:11:57.760
<v Speaker 1>but to make this game watch the all. Yes, I'm

1:11:57.760 --> 1:12:00.960
<v Speaker 1>fading you on that part, like I'm disagreeing with you.

1:12:01.040 --> 1:12:03.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm just gonna put a small amount of money on

1:12:03.720 --> 1:12:07.479
<v Speaker 1>Texans money line and Texans plus the thirteen and a half,

1:12:07.960 --> 1:12:10.759
<v Speaker 1>knowing that I'm probably burning it, but I wouldn't be surprised.

1:12:10.800 --> 1:12:13.639
<v Speaker 1>I do think there's some weird Houston Philly vibes here

1:12:13.720 --> 1:12:16.760
<v Speaker 1>that's just weird that never happens. So that might be uh,

1:12:16.880 --> 1:12:19.040
<v Speaker 1>pointing in the direction of an upset. But you are

1:12:19.080 --> 1:12:22.040
<v Speaker 1>on the smarter, more reliable side of things, because the

1:12:22.040 --> 1:12:25.160
<v Speaker 1>Eagles look unstoppable. I don't think they're gonna go seventeen

1:12:25.160 --> 1:12:27.240
<v Speaker 1>and O though, let's see if the Texans have a

1:12:27.280 --> 1:12:31.479
<v Speaker 1>foreign substance like another Houston team has a playoff games.

1:12:31.479 --> 1:12:35.000
<v Speaker 1>So but there's one intriguing parts to this week. And

1:12:35.040 --> 1:12:38.439
<v Speaker 1>everybody always just wants to fade the teams that are

1:12:39.040 --> 1:12:41.800
<v Speaker 1>giving everything in a way at the deadline, but it

1:12:42.200 --> 1:12:44.719
<v Speaker 1>almost sometimes and this goes against one of my other picks,

1:12:44.720 --> 1:12:46.840
<v Speaker 1>which is coming up, but those teams fight a little

1:12:46.880 --> 1:12:48.919
<v Speaker 1>bit harder because they know they're going through a rebuild,

1:12:49.000 --> 1:12:50.760
<v Speaker 1>or they just gave away the farm, or they just

1:12:50.760 --> 1:12:53.120
<v Speaker 1>gave away a big player. So sometimes it does give

1:12:53.160 --> 1:12:55.080
<v Speaker 1>them the little extra push. So we'll see how that

1:12:55.120 --> 1:12:58.080
<v Speaker 1>turns out. Houston as a whole, I agree with you,

1:12:58.120 --> 1:13:01.880
<v Speaker 1>they had the opportunity to pull out one of these games.

1:13:01.880 --> 1:13:04.439
<v Speaker 1>They're not an awful team by any means, but it's

1:13:04.439 --> 1:13:06.840
<v Speaker 1>going to be really, really interesting to see. Peter, you

1:13:06.920 --> 1:13:08.720
<v Speaker 1>got back on the board last week in a big

1:13:08.720 --> 1:13:11.160
<v Speaker 1>way with the teaser. Do you have another teaser for

1:13:11.240 --> 1:13:14.720
<v Speaker 1>us today? I indeed have another teaser. And this is

1:13:14.720 --> 1:13:17.479
<v Speaker 1>a tough board this week, but these three I really

1:13:17.520 --> 1:13:20.760
<v Speaker 1>really like. So I'm gonna start with probably not the

1:13:20.800 --> 1:13:24.000
<v Speaker 1>best game of the week, Commanders at home against the Vikings.

1:13:24.560 --> 1:13:26.120
<v Speaker 1>I was going back and forth on this. I was

1:13:26.160 --> 1:13:28.160
<v Speaker 1>thinking about teasing off the points to nine and a half.

1:13:28.560 --> 1:13:30.840
<v Speaker 1>I actually ended up taking the under, so under forty

1:13:30.920 --> 1:13:32.920
<v Speaker 1>nine and a half in that game. Two out of

1:13:32.960 --> 1:13:35.880
<v Speaker 1>the last eight games back the Commanders have played, they've

1:13:35.880 --> 1:13:38.360
<v Speaker 1>gone over the forty eight point mark. They just can't score.

1:13:38.360 --> 1:13:42.000
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't matter who's that quarterback Heinekey WinCE, they cannot

1:13:42.000 --> 1:13:44.160
<v Speaker 1>score points. I think they could actually sweak this game

1:13:44.160 --> 1:13:46.720
<v Speaker 1>out that three and a half. Look, I don't know

1:13:46.760 --> 1:13:49.040
<v Speaker 1>what it is, it's something fishy about it. So I

1:13:49.040 --> 1:13:51.320
<v Speaker 1>think they could squeak that out against the Vikings, who

1:13:51.320 --> 1:13:58.040
<v Speaker 1>have been playing excellent football. Soon now the shore enough

1:13:58.560 --> 1:14:04.880
<v Speaker 1>there individually missions Yeah, looks bad. Irv Smith out now

1:14:04.960 --> 1:14:08.559
<v Speaker 1>for quite a bit, so choir Hockinson for a second, third, fourth,

1:14:08.560 --> 1:14:11.679
<v Speaker 1>and fifth. So really interesting. Um, so I stayed away

1:14:11.680 --> 1:14:13.400
<v Speaker 1>from that, so I took the under forty on a half.

1:14:15.600 --> 1:14:18.759
<v Speaker 1>Next up, Bills minus six and a half. I've teased

1:14:18.760 --> 1:14:22.919
<v Speaker 1>that down against the Jets at MetLife. Bills are firing.

1:14:23.800 --> 1:14:26.839
<v Speaker 1>I just based off what I saw for Zach Wilson

1:14:26.880 --> 1:14:30.439
<v Speaker 1>against a middle of the pack Pats defense relative to

1:14:30.560 --> 1:14:32.400
<v Speaker 1>what's going to happen this week with that Bill's defense,

1:14:32.800 --> 1:14:35.320
<v Speaker 1>I think they're going to get absolute steam rolled. So

1:14:35.360 --> 1:14:39.639
<v Speaker 1>I've teased it down seven points a touchdown seems very

1:14:39.720 --> 1:14:42.160
<v Speaker 1>very likely. I think if Zach Wilson does anything he

1:14:42.200 --> 1:14:45.040
<v Speaker 1>did last week, there was by three point, so picking

1:14:45.040 --> 1:14:47.040
<v Speaker 1>it on the safe side there Bills not a six

1:14:47.040 --> 1:14:49.439
<v Speaker 1>and a half. And then last this is one that

1:14:49.479 --> 1:14:52.240
<v Speaker 1>I think Titans can win out right here. Titans are

1:14:52.240 --> 1:14:53.920
<v Speaker 1>the hottest team in the NFL right now. They started

1:14:53.920 --> 1:14:57.360
<v Speaker 1>off ohing to everybody, including myself freaked out. They've won

1:14:57.360 --> 1:15:00.479
<v Speaker 1>five in a row now, So Titans eased up to

1:15:00.520 --> 1:15:03.840
<v Speaker 1>plus nineteen and a half at Kansas City. Obviously tall

1:15:03.960 --> 1:15:08.640
<v Speaker 1>order here, but almost the three touchdown buffer there. I

1:15:08.720 --> 1:15:10.919
<v Speaker 1>really liked my chances and if I think they established

1:15:11.000 --> 1:15:13.720
<v Speaker 1>one with Henry, who looked really good last week, I

1:15:13.720 --> 1:15:16.320
<v Speaker 1>think they control the pace of the game. At worst

1:15:16.360 --> 1:15:19.360
<v Speaker 1>it becomes a seven to ten point game, so you're

1:15:19.400 --> 1:15:21.920
<v Speaker 1>buffering in quite a bit of points there. Um. So

1:15:21.960 --> 1:15:25.000
<v Speaker 1>all that five units to win one thirty again a

1:15:25.080 --> 1:15:27.880
<v Speaker 1>nice pay day that would put us again into the green.

1:15:27.960 --> 1:15:30.760
<v Speaker 1>Just hitting here in the green. No, I'm I'm on

1:15:30.800 --> 1:15:33.120
<v Speaker 1>you on that teaser because I lost my first teaser

1:15:33.200 --> 1:15:37.280
<v Speaker 1>courtesy of the Raiders last week, which was awful. You

1:15:37.400 --> 1:15:39.800
<v Speaker 1>got four units left, so I'm interested to see how

1:15:39.840 --> 1:15:41.400
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna spread this one out. What do you got

1:15:41.400 --> 1:15:44.120
<v Speaker 1>in your your your last four units? So I put

1:15:44.120 --> 1:15:47.080
<v Speaker 1>this together right before some breaking news of Chase Claypool

1:15:47.320 --> 1:15:51.280
<v Speaker 1>traded to the Bears second round pick. I've got still

1:15:51.439 --> 1:15:55.760
<v Speaker 1>the Dolphins minus five at Chicago, a team who just

1:15:55.800 --> 1:15:59.320
<v Speaker 1>traded Rocan Smith. Yeah, their defenses in shambles, I think

1:16:00.040 --> 1:16:03.599
<v Speaker 1>from a passing passing defense perspective, I think their bottom

1:16:03.680 --> 1:16:05.880
<v Speaker 1>three or bottom four in the league. And then you

1:16:05.880 --> 1:16:08.040
<v Speaker 1>have the Dolphins with just all their weapons. I think

1:16:08.200 --> 1:16:10.000
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna be a tough time trying to get to Uh,

1:16:10.320 --> 1:16:12.280
<v Speaker 1>tough time trying to get some pressure on the quarterback,

1:16:12.320 --> 1:16:14.719
<v Speaker 1>so I think he spreads the ball around fairly nicely.

1:16:14.800 --> 1:16:17.400
<v Speaker 1>They went by somewhere around ten points, so that's four

1:16:17.479 --> 1:16:20.799
<v Speaker 1>units normal minus one ten in totally went about seventy

1:16:20.840 --> 1:16:24.080
<v Speaker 1>six dollars there. So weird lines this week, but feel

1:16:24.080 --> 1:16:26.439
<v Speaker 1>really good about it. I think we're onto something here.

1:16:26.840 --> 1:16:30.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm with you, and um, I'm definitely gonna follow that

1:16:30.120 --> 1:16:33.160
<v Speaker 1>that one game parlay. Uh, I'm gonna do that one.

1:16:33.240 --> 1:16:35.639
<v Speaker 1>But then also I'm gonna do that exact one with

1:16:35.680 --> 1:16:39.880
<v Speaker 1>the I'm gonna do uh the Texas just as well,

1:16:39.960 --> 1:16:42.880
<v Speaker 1>just as make it more lottery ticket you. I encourage

1:16:42.880 --> 1:16:46.040
<v Speaker 1>all the listeners like follow Pete on that. I'm going

1:16:46.120 --> 1:16:50.559
<v Speaker 1>like lotto ticket money powerball situation, because I actually think

1:16:50.560 --> 1:16:53.559
<v Speaker 1>the Texans have a fighting chance at making some noise.

1:16:53.640 --> 1:16:56.160
<v Speaker 1>But that's a good that's a good board, Pete, it's good.

1:16:56.360 --> 1:16:58.280
<v Speaker 1>Do you. I want you to build that one out, Jerry,

1:16:58.280 --> 1:16:59.880
<v Speaker 1>because I want to know what the odds are with

1:17:00.000 --> 1:17:05.040
<v Speaker 1>at with everything, but just plus eight. All the pets

1:17:05.040 --> 1:17:07.439
<v Speaker 1>picks except like Texans money line, that would be one

1:17:07.439 --> 1:17:10.360
<v Speaker 1>of the greatest parlays of all will never hit Pete,

1:17:10.400 --> 1:17:14.160
<v Speaker 1>thank you as always. Good luck this weekend. I think

1:17:14.200 --> 1:17:16.439
<v Speaker 1>this is your bad He's he's on the board, folks,

1:17:16.439 --> 1:17:19.360
<v Speaker 1>Peter Andrews about to get hot. Thank you, thanks guys.

1:17:28.000 --> 1:17:29.800
<v Speaker 1>All right, Olivia, that's another one in the books. The

1:17:29.840 --> 1:17:32.680
<v Speaker 1>football season is flying by heading into week nine and

1:17:32.920 --> 1:17:36.880
<v Speaker 1>Coops is here. We're gonna hit those Thanksgiving games real soon.

1:17:37.040 --> 1:17:39.160
<v Speaker 1>But good show today. That was a good one. I know.

1:17:39.320 --> 1:17:41.640
<v Speaker 1>I love signing off on October like that, like a

1:17:41.760 --> 1:17:44.479
<v Speaker 1>very clean exit. I mean, Halloween was so fun. I

1:17:44.560 --> 1:17:46.600
<v Speaker 1>loved don't by the way, don't you love that the

1:17:46.640 --> 1:17:50.639
<v Speaker 1>Halloween Monday Night game was like orange and black all

1:17:50.680 --> 1:17:53.559
<v Speaker 1>over Like that was Did the NFL do that on purpose?

1:17:53.640 --> 1:17:56.320
<v Speaker 1>That was too good? Once again, just like my only

1:17:56.600 --> 1:17:59.840
<v Speaker 1>it happened in Cleveland. I'm just Cleveland's just in my

1:18:00.280 --> 1:18:03.400
<v Speaker 1>in my face all the time. How is your Halloween? Though?

1:18:03.400 --> 1:18:05.479
<v Speaker 1>But before we go that, this was like your first

1:18:05.560 --> 1:18:08.280
<v Speaker 1>what's your what's your son? Right? First one as a parent, Yes,

1:18:08.360 --> 1:18:11.240
<v Speaker 1>and I really wanted to nail the like family costume,

1:18:11.760 --> 1:18:14.760
<v Speaker 1>and we all did like a London based thing. So

1:18:14.840 --> 1:18:16.680
<v Speaker 1>my husband was Big Ben and I just made him

1:18:16.680 --> 1:18:19.200
<v Speaker 1>a name tag that said Ben because these six nines.

1:18:19.320 --> 1:18:21.200
<v Speaker 1>That kind of took part of it took care of

1:18:21.200 --> 1:18:23.920
<v Speaker 1>the other part. I was ginger spice because I can't

1:18:23.920 --> 1:18:27.919
<v Speaker 1>resist a wig moment. And then yeah, our little baby Wolfee.

1:18:28.000 --> 1:18:30.639
<v Speaker 1>He was a Lion because Sam's teams the London Lions.

1:18:30.680 --> 1:18:35.040
<v Speaker 1>But your family, like went all out on the family costume. Geez,

1:18:35.120 --> 1:18:40.160
<v Speaker 1>how was your Yeah, I said. I started out by saying, like,

1:18:40.240 --> 1:18:42.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going to do a costume, and I agreed

1:18:42.320 --> 1:18:44.320
<v Speaker 1>on one. We did do a great family costume. We

1:18:44.320 --> 1:18:48.120
<v Speaker 1>were the Griswolds from Christmas Vacation. Her dad was Uncle

1:18:48.240 --> 1:18:50.120
<v Speaker 1>Eddie in a row. He has an r V and

1:18:50.120 --> 1:18:53.479
<v Speaker 1>he pulled the It was great. The standout of the weekend, though,

1:18:53.520 --> 1:18:56.000
<v Speaker 1>really was like the Monday night tricker treating, right because

1:18:56.000 --> 1:18:57.800
<v Speaker 1>now we have almost an almost four year old who's

1:18:57.840 --> 1:19:00.680
<v Speaker 1>super into it, and you know, we didn't get home

1:19:00.800 --> 1:19:02.439
<v Speaker 1>to like nine o'clock. By the time you got to sleep,

1:19:02.439 --> 1:19:05.040
<v Speaker 1>it was like ten thirty. And the thing with his school,

1:19:05.360 --> 1:19:07.280
<v Speaker 1>because he's still so young, you could bring your kid

1:19:07.320 --> 1:19:10.400
<v Speaker 1>in late if like you're running behind, because it's impossible

1:19:10.439 --> 1:19:13.400
<v Speaker 1>for parents to get out the door sometimes. So I

1:19:13.479 --> 1:19:15.120
<v Speaker 1>went in his room. He has to be in school

1:19:15.160 --> 1:19:16.560
<v Speaker 1>by a forty five, went in his room and like

1:19:16.600 --> 1:19:19.000
<v Speaker 1>eight fifteen because they were and my wife was in

1:19:19.040 --> 1:19:20.840
<v Speaker 1>there and he was still asleep, just like, just let

1:19:20.880 --> 1:19:23.200
<v Speaker 1>him sleep, We'll bring him in late. So he wakes

1:19:23.280 --> 1:19:25.640
<v Speaker 1>up at like nine thirty. He has a little bit

1:19:25.680 --> 1:19:28.880
<v Speaker 1>of toast. We rushed him into school, and I'm like, God, great,

1:19:28.880 --> 1:19:30.960
<v Speaker 1>we're the we're the parents were bringing their kid in

1:19:30.960 --> 1:19:34.320
<v Speaker 1>like an hour and a half, like, and you have

1:19:34.360 --> 1:19:35.960
<v Speaker 1>to bring him in through the front door at that

1:19:35.960 --> 1:19:38.040
<v Speaker 1>point and be buzzed in. So we're buzzed in and

1:19:38.080 --> 1:19:40.080
<v Speaker 1>we get into like the lobby area of the school

1:19:40.360 --> 1:19:43.439
<v Speaker 1>like nine other kids who were also an hour and

1:19:43.439 --> 1:19:45.559
<v Speaker 1>a half like, and I had the instant, yeah, like

1:19:45.600 --> 1:19:49.160
<v Speaker 1>the instant flashback of like being in Vegas as like

1:19:49.200 --> 1:19:52.000
<v Speaker 1>a twenty one year old catching that like Southwest flight

1:19:52.080 --> 1:19:54.519
<v Speaker 1>home on a Sunday morning at nine and looking around

1:19:54.720 --> 1:19:56.400
<v Speaker 1>and all the other twenty one year olds are like

1:19:56.479 --> 1:19:59.880
<v Speaker 1>hungover and broke and just looking terri like all the

1:20:00.040 --> 1:20:05.320
<v Speaker 1>kids looked completely wrecked at in the morning post Halloween.

1:20:05.479 --> 1:20:08.640
<v Speaker 1>So that was the stand out. And about the parents

1:20:09.240 --> 1:20:12.240
<v Speaker 1>parents are right now, the kids looked rough, they look

1:20:12.360 --> 1:20:15.240
<v Speaker 1>they looked like they were coming off all that sugar.

1:20:15.360 --> 1:20:18.360
