Speaker 3 (00:57):
This is a podcast twenty five wists stuck full and
they whirl whistle.

Speaker 4 (01:04):
So yet it's too bad?

Speaker 5 (01:05):
But what did you expect? It's a podcast called twenty.

Speaker 1 (01:09):
Five Whistles twenty wine blow whistle. We are here.

Speaker 6 (01:15):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
Last night, I fell asleep before the end of the game,
but Broncos lost. I hated that, So I guess Broncos
and Chargers are now nine and six. Yes, And then
there's a drop kick thing or if you fair catch
it wherever you fair catch it, then if you want
to try to kick a field goal from there, that
then happens. Since I think the Bronosaurus in the earth,
yeah something, but it's been like fifty years or something.

Speaker 7 (01:36):
I gotta be honest with you.

Speaker 8 (01:37):
I know that rule.

Speaker 1 (01:38):
I've not seen that rule looks like a Canadian Football
League rule more than it's like you guys saw that
live not live, Okay, because I didn't either. I was,
but yeah, kind of weird and cool. I wonder if
if they knew that pride, like, did he fair catch
it on purpose?

Speaker 4 (01:55):
There?

Speaker 1 (01:56):
For that reason, because I didn't hear them talking pretty
and posted to watch the clip?

Speaker 7 (02:00):
Do you know?

Speaker 8 (02:01):
No, but there's also a penalty, yes, which is why,
which is why we moved back.

Speaker 1 (02:05):
Yes, okay, so that's but my question was yes, because
so they had to do the kickback.

Speaker 7 (02:10):
Yeah, so was it?

Speaker 1 (02:11):
Hey if you if you can fair catch it, we'll
try to kick it.

Speaker 7 (02:16):
Who cares? Right?

Speaker 1 (02:17):
It had to be though, like who cares? I literally
don't care.

Speaker 7 (02:23):
It is cool. Yeah, it was different. Read did you
watch it?

Speaker 1 (02:26):
No?

Speaker 9 (02:26):
I was thinking of a completely different type of drop
kick or were you dropping on the ground kick in
the fold goal? No, I was thinking of like kick
or got drop kicked?

Speaker 1 (02:33):
Like, oh oh Readheart is talking about it. He thought
like Chris Jericho came, Yeah, that's that's why I drop kick.

Speaker 7 (02:38):
Really, I don't know. I thought it was a fight
or something.

Speaker 10 (02:41):
I don't know what you were talking about.

Speaker 7 (02:42):
Reid got in a wreck yesterday?

Speaker 8 (02:43):
Oh did you really?

Speaker 9 (02:46):
On my way home?

Speaker 8 (02:47):
Man?

Speaker 7 (02:48):
Man? No, I wasn't too bad. I mean I was uh.

Speaker 9 (02:52):
I was about to get onto the highway over here,
but a lady pulled out in front of me, and
I hit her, and then the grace.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
Hold on because you need to say because people will go, oh,
you hit her when you say like that, she pulled
out in front of you. Yeah, like right in front
of me.

Speaker 7 (03:06):
Her fault. Let's just get that completely.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
Yeah, retake the responsibility for everything is having his fault.

Speaker 5 (03:11):
No, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 7 (03:12):
He's so sweet, like, yeah, yeah, go ahead.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
No.

Speaker 9 (03:14):
But the greatest part was then she left. It's like
I hit him, run in the middle, but there were
so many people around, like people were filming her as she.

Speaker 7 (03:21):
Was driving off and got hit, but it was your fault.

Speaker 5 (03:24):
You got hit.

Speaker 9 (03:25):
Yeah, I got hit and run And then it took
like twenty five minutes for the cops to get there.

Speaker 7 (03:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (03:31):
I saw a cop literally drive over my rubble, look
at me and keep going because I was like, oh,
finally he's here.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
Maybe a robber one, yeah, but the right one eventually came.

Speaker 7 (03:44):
Right one eventually came.

Speaker 6 (03:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (03:45):
The bar messed up. Yeah, it's pretty jacked up. And
I how'd you get in today?

Speaker 9 (03:51):
Well, half of my like plastic underneath the wheel flew
off while I was on the highway today getting here,
So that was fun.

Speaker 7 (03:59):
I didn't know.

Speaker 9 (03:59):
I didn't know it was loose under there were your insurance?

Speaker 7 (04:02):
What's you're deductible?

Speaker 5 (04:03):
Do you know? I do not know?

Speaker 9 (04:04):
But the cop was making it seem like, do you
know what a deductible is?

Speaker 1 (04:08):
Yeah?

Speaker 9 (04:09):
Like how much you have you have to already have
paid for or you have to pay now?

Speaker 1 (04:13):
Yeah, you don't know what it is before you get
it fixed. Did you know did you call your insurance company?

Speaker 9 (04:17):
I haven't yet called him today even know.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
You got a wreck yesterday midday?

Speaker 4 (04:21):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (04:22):
Do you know how much the damage is going to be?

Speaker 4 (04:24):
No?

Speaker 1 (04:25):
Why did you not call the insurance company?

Speaker 4 (04:27):
Yes?

Speaker 7 (04:27):
Now I should have.

Speaker 3 (04:29):
It doesn't matter though, if you have the police report.
I think if you have that then you can call
them kind of whenever.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
But I would say it gets probably the sooner the
fixed faster the faster you make the call, and the
more you know what you have to pay in order
to get it fixed, and Christmas is coming up, and
are you going to get a rental car? All those
things factor in based on how quickly you make your
decision to call the insurance company.

Speaker 8 (04:49):
And insurance companies are you know they'll look for any
way to Oh?

Speaker 7 (04:53):
Yeah, for sure, for sure.

Speaker 9 (04:54):
Yeah, he gave me like a little it's got like
the little number on the on the ticket that he said,
just give that to him and it'll.

Speaker 8 (05:00):
So what's up with a lady? Did you get a
license plate?

Speaker 9 (05:02):
Or in I got her license plate? I mean she
drove off like like three miles an hour till the
paper house.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
He doesn't know who shit or where she is. And
also she thought about stopping, didn't she She.

Speaker 9 (05:12):
Did, she pulled, She pulled in front of me, and
like I put my hazards on and she kind of
stopped and stayed there. And then somebody, some lady walked
up and she was talking to her for a second,
and so I was about to get out of my car,
and then all of a sudden, she.

Speaker 5 (05:23):
Just slowly started back into the lane and.

Speaker 9 (05:27):
Then just kind of just got ride in front of
somebody else and just kind of slowly went away.

Speaker 1 (05:30):
She's like whistling, thinking no one sees her just into
the distance.

Speaker 9 (05:33):
I'm like, there's literally people out here just filming you. Like,
but he patient literally dang, So she one dred percent,
didn't have a license, had drugs in the car.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
Wait, no, he's saying he's giving one of the that no,
you're thinking, okay, no insurance. I would think she ether
I had no insurance. The person I had no insurance
or worn out for their arrest, or they shouldn't be here.
There are reasons why. Well, I'm sorry that happened to you.
I would call insurance immediately, even when we finish this,

(06:04):
just and ask if you get a rental car as
part of because again, if you're traveling for the holidays,
that's not gonna be good.

Speaker 9 (06:11):
I was thinking, thinking I could make it. If I
could make it home, then I'll be home for like
five or six days.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
You're gonna drive six seven hours on a broken car.

Speaker 3 (06:19):
The problem is you don't know what's really broken Arkansas. Yes,
oh no, no, no, no, you just call and see
if they'll give you a rental car.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
I think at home here, no even that though I'm like, no,
he's like I was driving in two wills came.

Speaker 5 (06:32):
On that what he said, I think.

Speaker 9 (06:33):
I think the worst of it flew off though. To
be honest, I drive on sparks for eight my lap, yeah,
because I was worried about it because it was kind
of loose, but like it was still attached.

Speaker 7 (06:41):
But it's gone.

Speaker 1 (06:42):
We're gonna do an interview here. You should go call
your insurance company.

Speaker 9 (06:45):
Okay, yeah, I'll do that.

Speaker 1 (06:46):
We're gonna have Andy Staples. He's on right now.

Speaker 7 (06:48):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (06:49):
One of my favorites when it comes to covering college football.
Andy Staples. He's worked for SI the Athletic, now works
for ON three. He's got his own show nine thirty
am Eastern Monday through Thursday. Listen wherever you get your podcast.
Big thanks to any for coming on a preview in
the big weekend and just talking sports. And he has
a microphone in his car, which you hear we were
super shock guy.

Speaker 5 (07:07):
Legit.

Speaker 1 (07:07):
By the way, this is this is a great one
because he's really funny. And I'm honestly thinking to myself
when we start this, oh, he must not have got
back to his wherever he's doing the interview from his studio,
his hotel, if he's covering a game, where his podcast
setup is, he's a microphone and he's in his car,
and the audio in a car is never as good?
Could you do it on your phone? And I'm a

(07:28):
lot of like, oh man, And then all of a
sudden he pulls a microphone from like under his seat
and it sounded amazing wild. Here he is, Andy Staples.
Oh he's got a mic. Oh, dang Angel.

Speaker 6 (07:39):
We we do the professional setup from this this rented
Nissan Frontier you're in.

Speaker 1 (07:45):
I felt like I'm letting people. Now when I don't
drive around with a mic. Now, I felt like I'm
a loser. That's the coolest thing I've ever seen. Mike,
let me know when we're rolling. We are rolling, we
happen to have me be in surprise, he pulled the
mic out of his box. Holy Andy, dude, I'm a
big fan. So thank you for coming on and talking
with us.

Speaker 6 (08:05):
Well, thank you, Bobby. I appreciate this. Yeah, this is
a I've sort of learned to have everything everywhere. It
goes back to my original career as a newspaper reporter.
I was an intern at Florida Today down in Melbourne, Florida.
I got a signed to do some generic editorial on
beating the heat, and I had the brilliant idea of
going to the nude beach and asking those people what

(08:28):
they did to beat the heat and not get sunburned.
And I realized that I was, you know, dressed in
the dress code of the newspaper. I was wearing a
white polo shirt and green slacks, which made me look
exactly like a Brevard County Sheriff's deputy.

Speaker 7 (08:42):
So they were all running away from me.

Speaker 6 (08:44):
And then I remember I realized at that moment, like,
always be prepared for anything that might happen. So I
always keep a change of clothes. I keep multiple kinds
of clothes with me, and I keep every single audio
visual piece of equipment I need. If I might need
to get on somebody's podcast, video or audio.

Speaker 1 (09:01):
It's a plus. And now I shall set up a
full studio in the back of my car, like I've
been motivated. Sometimes you get inspired in the most random
of places, and today it's Andy Staples. Hey, let's start Andy,
You're the guy I wanted to talk to about this.
So Carson Beck not going to play first round, maybe
not going to play at all, who knows, But what's
up with Georgia. Obviously that's their guy, but it's not
like he's been playing great all year. Your thoughts on

(09:23):
Georgia shot.

Speaker 6 (09:24):
Now, Yeah, it's interesting in the reaction to it because
Gunner Stockton probably played better than Carson Beck in the
in the sec Championship game against Texas, and so the
thought is is it really going to be that different?
And you know, I don't know that Carson made that
big of a difference for Georgia this year as long
as Gunner Stockton is what we saw in that second

(09:46):
half of the SEC Championship game. Now, that could have
just been him playing out of his mind because the
adrenalin is running. But my guess is Gunner Stockton with
three weeks of practice with the ones because remember this
wasn't a situation where the back was getting a lot
of playing time outside of mop up duty. So when
he went into that game, he probably had had no
practice with the ones that week. I mean, they were

(10:07):
operating clearly from a very limited menu. But this is
a guy who's been with the program the entire time.
You know, he knows their playbook. So my guess is
we see a more polished version of Gunner Stockton when
they play whoever wins the Notre Dame Indiana game. And
so I think I think they're gonna be okay, because again,
you know, Carson Beck good quarterback. I don't know that

(10:30):
he was a transcendent quarterback who without him, they can't
be who they are. I think they can still be
a really good team and compete for the national title
with a quarterback who's about the same.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
So just one more Georgia question than regarding Beck, because
when the season started he was the guy most people
were like, number one quarterback off the board could be
the number one overall pick. Do you feel like that
was a miscalculation that he really wasn't that, or that
he had some sort of I don't like the pressure.
I'm not able to perform as well as you know,
my potential. As where do you think that fell off?

Speaker 6 (11:08):
Well, it fell off when Lad McConkie went to the
Chargers and brock Bauers went to the Raiders.

Speaker 7 (11:11):
That's where it fell off.

Speaker 6 (11:12):
I mean, he had elite targets last year and he
doesn't have those this year. And it you know, certain
quarterbacks make their targets better, and certain targets make their
quarterbacks better. And I think brock Bauers, you've seen he's
probably the best tight end in the NFL already, so
you see what he was probably doing for George's offense.

(11:34):
And then Lad mcconkee obviously was you know, a huge
contributor to George's offense as well, so I think that
probably has more.

Speaker 7 (11:40):
To do with it than anything else.

Speaker 1 (11:42):
College football playoff greatest thing to happen in sports to
me in the past twenty years, because it made so
many games matter the last two and three weeks of
the season, you know, aside from how you feel about
the seedings or and I think there are things that
are going to learn this year and going to change,
But it for me, it was great, not even because
of the tournament, but because of what mattered the last
three to four weeks of the regular season. So I'm

(12:04):
a big, a plus fan of it. That being said,
there are some issues. I think now you look and
you go, probably you just give the top four seeds
to the best four teams, et cetera, et cetera. What
do you think will be the first thing change because
there won't be any wholesale changes. Are I going to
do five things at once? What do you think when
they finally do if they add teams first, if they
change how the seeding, what do you think they'll change first?

Speaker 6 (12:26):
Well, I was under the impression that they would keep
this exact format for the first two years, because that's
the last two years of the original TV deal for
the College Football Playoff and then they would change whatever
they wanted to change for twenty six. But it sounds
like they can change the seting for next year if
they really want to. People realize very quickly, and we
said it all season all season, were like, well, the

(12:48):
five seeds probably going to have the best situation. Turned
out the sixth seed probably actually has the cleanest path
in this particular case, because I don't think I don't
think any of us predicted that the Mountain West champ
would get the three seed and the Big twelve champ
would get the four seed. I don't think we We
may have thought the Big twelve champ would got the
four seed, but we figured probably the ACC champ would
be the three seed.

Speaker 7 (13:08):
So I think that probably.

Speaker 6 (13:12):
Showed when that bracket came out, It's like, all right,
this is ridiculous because Penn State probably wound up with
a better path than Oregon into the semi finals. In
Oregon beat Penn State in the Big Ten championship game,
and I know people say, oh, but Penn State has
to play another game.

Speaker 7 (13:28):
Okay.

Speaker 6 (13:29):
I would rather play SMU and then Boise State than
have to play the winner of Tennessee, Ohio State like Oregon,
got punished for being the number one seed, and you
can't have that. So have your automatic qualifiers, have your
automatic bids for five conference champs.

Speaker 7 (13:45):
That's fine, but if.

Speaker 6 (13:46):
They are not in the top four seeds, don't give
them buys. Give the teams ranked one through four of
the buys, and then everybody else populates from there.

Speaker 7 (13:57):
You think the lad after not next year.

Speaker 1 (13:59):
But as you were talking about the two year second,
you know the last two years is the initial deal.
Do you think they'll add two more teams, four more
teams into this?

Speaker 6 (14:10):
The push has been for two from the Big ten
and I understand why the Big ten in the SEC
would like their championship games to be very meaningful. And
the thought this year is, oh, you know, all four
of the teams in those championship games are in the
playoff anyway, so what's the point of this.

Speaker 7 (14:26):
Like the ACC championship game.

Speaker 6 (14:28):
Which weirdly both teams got in, but it didn't feel
like that at the time, the Big twelve championship game
was definitely a win. And in scenario like this, this
format raises the stakes of those games, but it lowers
the stakes of the Big Ten Championship in the SEC Championship.
But if you only had two buys because you had
fourteen teams, chances are those two buys are going to

(14:50):
your Big ten champ and your SEC champ, which suddenly
makes those games more valuable.

Speaker 7 (14:55):
And this is all about money.

Speaker 6 (14:58):
They don't really need to play those anymore, but they
make a ton of money off of them. The conferences
don't want to let them go yet, so I think
that that is their solution to create bigger stakes for
those games.

Speaker 1 (15:12):
I respect your opinion a lot, and so I'm going
to ask you about one more rule change. And if
you were the guy changing the rule, you got to
if you were king, would you and when you become king,
would you change the Doctor Pepper halftime ball throwing thing
from chess passes or give them a basketball? Because so
it's the dumbest thing I saw.

Speaker 6 (15:30):
I can't remember which championship game was, I want to
say it was the Big twelve championship game, so yes.
For those who don't know, the Doctor Pepper challenge is
basically two people trying to throw footballs into a giant
Doctor Pepper bottle for a scholarship and they do this
during the halftime of the championship games for the various conferences,

(15:52):
and it is the competition has devolved. It started out
with people throwing footballs like quarterbacks throw footballs, and now
they do chess passes. But here's the thing, Bobby, and
this is brilliant. There was a guy or no, actually
was a young lady. She was throwing option pitches, like
triple option pitches, like she played for a service academy,

(16:12):
and she was deadly accurate and she just destroyed like
she's going as a guy who was chess passing, and
she destroyed him. So I actually fell back in love
with it, because the option pitch is just as great
as throwing a football the right way.

Speaker 1 (16:29):
I think the option pitch I'd be okay with that.
The chess pass is just maybe it's not maybe it
needs to be ten yards farther. And I don't want
it to be where somebody doesn't have a good arm
they can't play right. You don't want someone who can't
throw football right. But it's just when you have two
people throwing basketball chess pass if I'm like drills in
sixth grade, it doesn't look it's not that fun and
I used to look forward to that.

Speaker 6 (16:50):
Well, I will say I went crazy when Josh Allen
threw a chess pass in an NFL game. Now I
got called back because of holding, but he threw a
chess pass for a touchdown.

Speaker 1 (17:01):
I mean, I'm not convinced. I'm not convinced he was
watching game tape on one of them. Hey, let's talk
about quin yours for a second and Arch manning and
not even so much about what's happening in the playoff.
But now it's as Quinn you were is gonna go?
Is it going to take whatever money from some mythical
Big ten school that's going to offer him four million
dollars to stay? What do you think is happening here?

Speaker 6 (17:21):
Well, it's it's interesting because this is one of these
weird things that happens in the NIL era. Now that
was never an issue before, because before Quinn youwers would
just be head of the NFL. It'd be well, I'm
probably not gonna stay at Texas because we kind of
had this deal that it's Arch's time next year, So
I'm going to the NFL and I'll be making more
money than i'd make in college. But if Quinn Ewers

(17:44):
isn't a first round pick, and he isn't a second
round pick. And once you get into the third, fourth rounds,
the money Quinn Youewers could command at a big time
school might be bigger than what he'd make as a
third rounder. So if you're him, it's actually worth considering,

(18:05):
Like you have to really consider, like where where's my
draft stock? Could I potentially raise it with another year
in college? And if that's the case, can I make
the same or more money in college? Because if I can,
I'm gonna stay. I mean, you're looking at bow Knicks
now in the NFL. If bo Nix didn't have those
those two years at Oregon, he's not what he is
in the NFL right now. He is that because he

(18:27):
had sixty starts under his belt going in. So if
I'm Quinn, I actually do consider that heavily. It's I
want to know from the NFL people, honestly, what do
you think I am? Where do you think I fall?
Because if they think he's a late first round early
second round pick, just go to the league. Just go
to the league and you're gonna play and you're gonna

(18:48):
get paid more. But if they don't think that or
they're not sure, then yeah, get another year of college,
make a bunch of money. Do some more Doctor Pepper commercials.
Do some fans billed by the doctor Pepper.

Speaker 7 (19:02):
Good Ward.

Speaker 6 (19:02):
We've talked about them a lot, but yeah, do some
more of that. And it's it's weird that that's how
it works now. But he actually be more valuable as
a one year rental to a team in college than
he would be to an NFL team that takes him
in the third.

Speaker 5 (19:18):
Round in the NBA.

Speaker 1 (19:20):
In college basketball, obviously, these players are trying to get
to their second contract, right, big deal. You want to
get in, get in early, and it's all about that
second deal. Where the live span at times of an
NFL player not as long as that of an NBA player,
depending on especially what position you play. Would that factor
in it all to somebody who's like a second or
third round, Yeah, you might make less money, but you

(19:41):
want to try to get to that second deal. It's
you know, it's a four year and an option whenever
you go to the NFL. Is that even being talked.

Speaker 6 (19:47):
About if you're a running back, yeah, I mean that's
the running backs don't want to stay in school. If
you have any chance of being pretty good in the NFL,
you don't want the tread taken off your tires.

Speaker 7 (19:57):
You want to get to that second contract.

Speaker 6 (20:00):
Other positions where you're getting hit a lot and the
injury risk is exceptionally high, you know, inside linebacker type positions,
Those are other ones that you want to probably get
to the NFL. Start the clock on that second contract.
Quarterbacks have a little bit longer life span. Typically, offensive
linemen have a little bit longer lifespan. Edge rushers have

(20:21):
a little bit longer lifespan. So those guys do have
decisions that they need to make if they can raise
their draft stock while still making a really good amount
of money in college.

Speaker 1 (20:32):
What about Dabo going to the portal first time?

Speaker 6 (20:34):
Not a virgin anymore, It wasn't It was the first
non quarter see nobody ever remembers he took a quarterback.
I got of the portal three years ago. Three years ago,
maybe two. It was Hunter Johnson who had originally signed
with Clemson and then didn't win the starting job. He
was like a you know, blue chip, five star guy.
He goes to Northwestern decides, you know what I'm gonna do.

(20:57):
My last year back at Clemson, so that that was
the first transfer Dabo actually took. He did not take
a single one this past year, so Clemson and the
service academies who don't take transfers were the only ones
that didn't.

Speaker 7 (21:10):
But yeah, he's in the portal now.

Speaker 6 (21:12):
And the reason they're doing this is you have this
house versus the NCAA settlement that's coming where there's going
to be a revenue sharing plan where the schools are
allowed to pay the players directly. So a program like Clemson,
which doesn't have the biggest donor base, is going to
have money to pay players in a way that's competitive

(21:33):
with the Alabamas and the Georgia's and the Ohio States.
The problem for Clemson wasn't Dabba laid this out very
nicely last spring. I thought was the players who are
good enough to help Clemson, because remember Clemson still recruits
out of high school at a really, really high level.
So the players that were good enough to help Clemson
at the transfer portal, Clemson was priced out of the market.
Well now they're not. So they go get the receiver

(21:57):
from Southeast Missouri State. They go get an edge rusher
from per Do like they're going to be players in
this It's not going to be wholesale. It's not going
to be a bunch of guys. It's going to be
plugging in its spots where you have some holes in
the roster. And I tell you what, Bobby, I think
that puts Clemson right back where they want to be,
because that was the issue. They'd have these little that

(22:19):
you know, they'd have these kind of glaring holes in
the roster that everybody else was filling in the portal
and they weren't, and there was a reason for that.

Speaker 7 (22:27):
But now they can fix that.

Speaker 1 (22:30):
I guess my half opposing view of Dabo getting to
quarterback that he once had is he didn't get a
quarterback from the portal. He went back and got his
own guy because his own guy left in the portal,
and he went and rescued. He went and rescue his
own guy. Yes, yes, yes, yes. And so I hate Texas.
I hate Texas all my heart. Like I hate Texas.
I wish they could fall in the hole and not

(22:50):
exist anymore as a team. Listen, I see those pigs.
I see those pigs. Yes, when we have I hate Texas.
I hate everything about them, and I don't want them
to win. But man defensevely their defensive line there, it's
it's a monster. Uh. And we have Texas fans here
on this show, so I'm not going to say anything
positive about Texas. So would you say something positive about

(23:11):
Texas to just kind of help, you know, balance us out.

Speaker 6 (23:14):
Yes, nastiest defense in the country. We spend so much
time talking about Quinn and Arch and it's really unfair
to a very very sound group of defenders that of
the let's say there, you know, there's there's twelve teams
in the college football playoffs, so twelve offenses and twelve defenses,

(23:35):
twenty four units. The Texas defense is the one I
trust the most out of those twenty four.

Speaker 1 (23:40):
Okay, cool, that's it. We're good on that one.

Speaker 5 (23:42):
Guys.

Speaker 1 (23:42):
We're all Texas out. No more positive Texas and all right,
Mick to hate. Hey Mike Vic being a coach. First
of all, we saw the Sacramento State that that happens,
and it's like Mike Vic maybe, and then now it's not.
I didn't know Mike Vic coached what So what do
you know about this?

Speaker 7 (23:56):
I didn't know either. I didn't know this was something
that was in his heart.

Speaker 6 (24:01):
But you know, it's interesting because he's if you've heard
him talk after his his football career, after the dog
fighting stuff, after the imprisonment, you know, he's he sounds
like someone who has changed quite a bit, who has
grown up quite a bit. And so, you know, I
do wonder with people who've been through a lot in

(24:21):
their lives and who've done some things that they regret
and have admitted that they regret doing those things, like
there's probably something to teach to a younger generation. So
I don't know if that's gonna work. You know, we've
seen guys come out, you know, who were very good
players kind of go a little bit faster into the

(24:44):
coaching ranks, so like move move to a position that
they wouldn't have normally gotten without the name. I thought
Dion's done really well, that Eddie George has actually done
pretty well with it at Tennessee State too, So I
think there's something to be And Deon talks about this,
He's like, why should that guy have to grind it
out as a GA when he has so many more
things that he can teach that the guy grinding it

(25:05):
out as a GA can't.

Speaker 7 (25:06):
So I think he's worth a shot.

Speaker 4 (25:09):
Now.

Speaker 6 (25:09):
Sacramento State wound up hiring Brittan Marion, who did grind
it out as a GA and and as an offensive
coordinator at the FCS.

Speaker 7 (25:15):
Level and then the FBS level.

Speaker 6 (25:17):
So we'll see, you know, those two programs, how how
they how they differ going forward. But I just I
think it's interesting that the victing. I didn't realize that
that that was something he wanted. But I am curious
to see what he what he is as a coach.

Speaker 1 (25:34):
And I guess aside from his troubles and what he's
done and hopefully learned and reformed it can teach and
can turn it positive as a head coach. I just
think you'd probably want someone that has a bit of
not just the football, but how to put together coordinators,
how to how to organize. So to me, more than
if he's reformed as a person, it's and maybe it's

(25:56):
just because those schools want to splash and they'll surround
him with people that actually know how to do that.
I was surprised because Vic hasn't ever coached anywhere where.
I know Dion pretty well. I'm lucky we did a
TV pilot together. We're together for months every day love
Deon s Anders, like that's my guy. But Dion was
coaching his kids high school like he was a head
coach there right then he went to Jackson State then,

(26:17):
and so at least there was a bit of a
progression there where Mike Vick was just like they're Mike
Vick and now he's a head coach. But they're gonna
have to surround with people that know how to do
all these structure things, right.

Speaker 6 (26:28):
He's gonna have he's gonna have to do that. I mean,
he's gonna have to to be able to do that,
and I think that that is a skill that maybe
can't be taught, and so he'll either be good at
it or he won't cause you know, you mentioned Dion
had worked in coaching his sons before. But like when
he takes the Jackson State job, that's a completely different

(26:49):
animal than what he'd been doing. And he did a
great job surrounding himself with the right people. I don't
think he hired very well the first year at Colorado.
That you know, you look at the second year at
Colorado and the staff he put together. That staff worked
much better together and made that team better as the
season went on. So I think with Mike Vick, we

(27:11):
don't know what he's gonna be as a CEO, and
sometimes you don't know until you see it. We've seen
it at various levels of sports where somebody gets in
as a CEO and they just aren't very good at it.
They're a better assistant coach, they are a head coach.
And then you see guys like ed Orgeron was a
position coach his whole career, is never even a coordinator.
Ervin Meyer was never coordinated before he's a head coach,

(27:33):
and these guys.

Speaker 7 (27:34):
Are just natural CEOs.

Speaker 1 (27:37):
I was reading your article, and by the way, you
can read Andy's work at on three on three dot com,
and I loved your idea. It's even kind of feels
like the basketball All Star Game now where they were
picking they picked their players and picked their teams. But
how you were talking about seed in the college football playoff?
Would you talk about that idea for a second. What
do you think that the way to do it will be?

Speaker 6 (27:56):
That was sent in by a viewer to my show,
and I God bless him. It's great because he understand
like he understands the what we're doing here. Because this
is entertainment. And so instead of just seating the teams
and saying this is who's playing who like, what they
should have done is they should have ranked the teams
and then you say, okay, here's the potential matchups, but

(28:18):
now we're gonna go live to Dan Lanning, the coach
of the number one Oregon Ducks, he has to pick
which first round matchup is going to feed into his game.
So essentially he has to insult these two teams by saying,
you're the two we think are the easiest to be
I would love like televise it.

Speaker 7 (28:35):
You give him like five minutes to pick.

Speaker 6 (28:37):
You have the Jeopardy theme music playing, and then you're like, okay, Dan,
who are you gonna play?

Speaker 7 (28:43):
It would be brilliant television.

Speaker 1 (28:45):
And what I say, a lot as much as we
love sports, live with it, it is a TV show, right,
It's entertainment, and you gotta find that balance between integrity
and honesty and the love of the game and entertainment
because if you have a whole bunch of one and
not the other, then there's no trust on product. But yeah,
that would be like the greatest you know. Another thing
would be like when a player you know, signs with
the new team, like DeAndre Hopkins, Like they don't even

(29:08):
say he's a chief until it's game time and it's like,
all right, let's announce the new players this week on
the team and here deandreh my god, that's DeAndre exact yes,
Like you know that would be the product we love. Hey,
talk about your podcast for a second, because you guys
go live, which means where we do ours and we
loaded a couple hours later we get to edit.

Speaker 7 (29:29):
You do yours live.

Speaker 1 (29:30):
There's a been a risk in that I don't know
you and it's Andy and Ari on three podcasts. Yeah,
but you guys are on are you guy? On four
days a week?

Speaker 6 (29:36):
We're actually on five days a week because we do
a postgame show during the season, and then once the
season ends, will go we'll be Monday through Friday in
the mornings with a more regular schedule. But we we
go Monday through Thursday in the mornings right now, nine
thirty am Eastern time. And yeah, me and Ari Wasserman.
I find when Ari is taped, he's not as interesting,
Like I don't want to edit out when Ari's really cooking.

Speaker 7 (30:01):
That's that's the thing.

Speaker 6 (30:02):
So we had Mike Goullett Junior on, you know, former
Notre Dame offensive lineman who owns his own excellent podcast,
and Mike was talking about how he puked before every
game because it was just part of his process and
he gets his nerves out.

Speaker 7 (30:15):
And then so the.

Speaker 6 (30:16):
Interview ends and Ari goes, you know, I puked before
every show, and I'm like, Okay, I see what we're
doing a bit here, and then he starts talking about
how the post puke feeling is one of the greatest
feelings in life.

Speaker 7 (30:31):
I'm like, Ari, I have an ad to read after this.

Speaker 6 (30:34):
I know this advertiser does not want to juxtapose you
talking about how great it feels to puke with their
their product. So we're gonna We're gonna move on here.
But if we edit, then we don't get things like that.
We need moments like that. So I am all for
the live and you can interact with the commenters, which
I am guilty of getting sucked into that a little

(30:56):
too much, but no, it's it's a lot of fun.

Speaker 7 (30:58):
And we go live after games too.

Speaker 6 (31:00):
So after the college football playoff games at like the
last one of the night will go live.

Speaker 7 (31:06):
So if you want to come. Heckle us, you want
to come, ask us questions?

Speaker 6 (31:10):
Come on, because I love that the viewer has a
chance to interact with us, you know, because and I
find that the people who watch us regularly they're so creative.
We do a mailbag show every Thursday, and they they
send in all the questions that that idea for the
seating was a mailbag question. Like I love our audience

(31:31):
because they're so smart and they love college football and
so yeah, if you guys want to want to join
that group, they're the smartest, best looking audience. I have
a friend named Chris Childers who works for Serious XM.
He says that all of his doctors listen to our
show and like, but you don't have to be a doctor,
like any profession is welcome.

Speaker 1 (31:49):
Check out to Andy and ari on three podcast and
read Andy on three dot com. Hey, big fan of
your work. Have been for a long time and at
even other institutions. I won't even mention here, but keep
up to good work and thank you for the time.
And now I have to go build a complete podcast
studio in the back of my car, So I got
I got stuff to do today. But Andy, have a
great weekend at what a fun weekend it is. And
hopefully I'll talk to you soon.

Speaker 7 (32:10):
Thank you, Bobby.

Speaker 6 (32:11):
I followed your career for a while and and you
know you're you're an inspiration to all of us who
are doing this stuff.

Speaker 1 (32:17):
So thank you for having me on all right there
he is Andy Staples. Thanks Eddie, have a good day, buddy. Okay,
the Bengals, there's six and eight. They have a six
point five percent chance to make the playoffs. So the
remaining games of the Browns, the Broncos, the Steelers and
need some stuff to happen, but they still can make
the playoffs. The Cowboys, they need the Commanders to lose

(32:37):
every game.

Speaker 5 (32:38):
What's the number?

Speaker 1 (32:39):
Well, if do you not see I'm getting there.

Speaker 7 (32:42):
I would have a led with that if that's what
I wanted first, Yeah, you're right.

Speaker 1 (32:45):
If the Cowboys win all three games, one of them
is against the Commanders.

Speaker 5 (32:49):
Though, correct, and the Eagles, Yeah, and then Bucks.

Speaker 1 (32:54):
Which I think the Bucks and the Commanders are games
they could actually win. The Eagles will be tough. Yeah,
but okay, if the Cowboys went all three games, oh
my gosh, and the Commanders lose all three, but what
makes that a bit easier is you get to actually
play the Commander. So you beat the Commanders, you win
the other two, they lose the other two. I just
look at their schedule, if I remember, their schedule was

(33:15):
not easy. And then there's a couple of teams in
the middle of them.

Speaker 7 (33:21):
Like the Seahawks.

Speaker 5 (33:22):
They have to lose somewhere in there too.

Speaker 1 (33:26):
Yeah, Cardinals, I believe we're in the middle of that.

Speaker 5 (33:29):
I mean it's a huge like shot in the dark.

Speaker 1 (33:33):
At what's the schedule there?

Speaker 11 (33:34):
If I have the Commanders, Yeah, they play the Eagles,
then the Falcons, and then the Cowboys to wrap up
the scene.

Speaker 1 (33:39):
Okay, so they get lose to the Eagles, no doubt. Well,
Panics is starting this week, right. The Cowboys have zero
point two chance exactly.

Speaker 7 (33:50):
Out though zero point they're out.

Speaker 1 (33:52):
As long as you're still in it, you're in a baby.

Speaker 5 (33:54):
There's no chance, which is good.

Speaker 3 (33:56):
I mean really like if they made the playoffs, well
and they just they would just get destroyed round one.

Speaker 1 (34:00):
Maybe not look at the Buck last year.

Speaker 5 (34:03):
Yeah, because they won a game, didn't they.

Speaker 8 (34:06):
Beat the Eagles?

Speaker 7 (34:06):
Yeah? They lost the lines barely, right, Yeah.

Speaker 10 (34:08):
Almost beat the truck.

Speaker 3 (34:09):
It's pretty crazy. Though, like we're not as Cowboys fans,
we are not used to this kind of season. We
at least go to the playoffs, right and now it's
like we're not.

Speaker 1 (34:18):
We're not going right now, you're setting yourself up for disappointment.
Usually now you're actually disappointed, which is weird. It's already happened. Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay.
So we also have to an admission here. And I
like to blame two people for this, and neither neither
of them are me.

Speaker 10 (34:35):
Oh okay, I love.

Speaker 1 (34:37):
To put something on somebody else. I'm definitely one of them,
read you or not one of them. And and it's
it's not Casey. So it is Eddie and Kevin, and
I blame Kevin. Wait wait, probably slightly less than Eddie,
really slightly, because Eddie took the credit for it.

Speaker 7 (34:53):
Oh that's true.

Speaker 1 (34:55):
Edie could at least a said and that wasn't true.

Speaker 5 (34:57):
What are we talking about?

Speaker 8 (34:58):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (34:58):
You know what?

Speaker 8 (34:58):
Actually, when you say it like that, I agree.

Speaker 5 (35:00):
So last week we had you two know what we're
talking about.

Speaker 1 (35:03):
But last week we hit our party, our parlay, and
everybody kept hitting me, going, you'd hit you parlay, I
hit mine, Kevin his and you took credit for yours.
You didn't hit yours, We did not win, you lost.

Speaker 5 (35:11):
And oh really, yeah I took the Packers, didn't that?

Speaker 1 (35:14):
You took the Seahawks?

Speaker 8 (35:16):
Yeah, Seahawks.

Speaker 1 (35:18):
And when we came on, we're talking about everybody's like,
edit lost, what's he talking about?

Speaker 8 (35:23):
That's hilarious?

Speaker 1 (35:24):
Really, So I didn't know until I started getting DMS
and Kevin took blame for you. He goes, no, I
wrote that down wrong on the sheet, so okay, you
can have a little bit of it. But mostly Eddie
just was like, yep, I guess we got it. Hope
everybody won.

Speaker 5 (35:37):
Dang, So I went Seahawks on that. What was I thinking? Man,
that's crazy.

Speaker 1 (35:43):
We had a buddy who Steve, who's a massive Cowboys fan,
and he bet a seven eight parlay hit six and
lost on the Cowboys and Panthers because he bet the Panthers.
What idiot think about Steve a massive Cowboys fan. We're like,
why did you bet against your team? Just don't bet
the game at all? And he was like, well, all
the experts were saying, it's like, hey, I don't bet
against my team. Even I never bet against Arkansas because
I don't want to have a split route. I don't

(36:05):
I don't ever want for one part of me to
not want them to win.

Speaker 5 (36:08):
Correct.

Speaker 1 (36:08):
So if I think that that's the case, and I
would bet that, I'm not betting that. And that's what
that kept him from making a ton of money.

Speaker 3 (36:15):
I have taken the Cowboys out of many, many, many
parlays because I will not bet against them.

Speaker 5 (36:20):
That's just what you do.

Speaker 8 (36:21):
Is well, there's already enough emotion in it.

Speaker 7 (36:23):
You will take credit.

Speaker 5 (36:24):
Though, Man, I really thought I picked the Packers.

Speaker 1 (36:27):
Did you?

Speaker 8 (36:28):
I haven't even thought about it from that perspective, But
you're right. He sat there taking it like.

Speaker 1 (36:35):
Gorma says, wouldn't you though?

Speaker 8 (36:37):
Two days I'm like, damn, I messed up. Man, I
messed up. I messed up. And then I'm like, well, actually,
I guess I could have been saved.

Speaker 1 (36:43):
Oh this is hitting me up like Eddie's lying.

Speaker 7 (36:46):
Eddie' lying. He didn't hit. He didn't hit.

Speaker 5 (36:47):
I didn't lie. I just said like, cool, I didn't lie.

Speaker 1 (36:53):
Okay, let's fix some games here. Uh twenty five whistles
parlay on DraftKings. The spread are so big, Yeah, they're
so big. I can't even go money line, because that's
so that would be so cheap. You looking at college, Well,
that's all I'm bad. I mean, this is it's a
comfortable playoff. Why not you have to that's like the

(37:14):
most exciting. I mean, like, yeah, I gotta do college. Okay,
I'm gonna go. I don't even want I hear you,
but it's like, I'm not gonna do four. I don't
want to put on the app.

Speaker 5 (37:25):
Oh is it going on the app this time?

Speaker 1 (37:27):
If it no, but it's four four, it'll go up.

Speaker 9 (37:29):
I don't want to go up because I don't like
I usually will pick a game and go, like I
feel confident and in those single games, I don't think
I missed yet, which means i'll miss this week probably well.

Speaker 8 (37:38):
The Indiana Notre Dame games on Friday, the other three
on Saturday, so which will be to nights' recording this yes,
late Thursday, go ahead, it's all was gonna say. If
you do the three then three Saturday ones.

Speaker 1 (37:48):
Maybe I think Notre Dame beats Indiana by more than seven.
It's Notre Dame minus seven, so I'm gonna go Notre
Dame minus seven.

Speaker 7 (37:59):
I think in.

Speaker 1 (38:02):
I hate Texas and Clemson so much I can't I
can't pick that game. I hate them both.

Speaker 5 (38:05):
It's a tough one.

Speaker 1 (38:06):
I hate Texas more, but like I hate Clemson only
because Dabo. I think Penn State beats SMU by more
than eight and a half. I'm going on two favorites
so far, and then I'll go Tennessee plus seven and
a half.

Speaker 5 (38:21):
Like it.

Speaker 1 (38:23):
So Notre Dame minus seven, Penn State minus eight and
a half, Tennessee plus seven and a half. That's that's
that's my parlay. I got to stay away from Clemson
Texas just because it's emotion pick and here's my emotion.

Speaker 1 (39:03):
B ball. I gotta go to the freaking Jets making
personnel decisions because of Madden, which is hilarious. I play
Madden and in case he's a big Jets fan, and
so story I read on the with The Atlantic is that,
first of all, the grandson of Woody Johnson has been

(39:28):
making a lot of the personnel decisions apparently, which is hilarious.
I think he's seventeen.

Speaker 8 (39:33):
Serious, Yeah, is he really that young?

Speaker 1 (39:35):
I think he's seven. I think he's seventeen.

Speaker 8 (39:37):
Oh my goodness.

Speaker 1 (39:38):
You may look he's a teenager.

Speaker 10 (39:39):
He wasn't true. Yeah, I know he's young.

Speaker 1 (39:41):
And so I'll read just some of this from the
Excuse Me the Athletic. The piece of story focused Onody Johnson,
who's been hands on, but what he says I did
not expect to learn that his son's Brick and Jack,
whose love for the Madden franchise seems to influence the
owner of the team. The Jets or NIXT to trade
for Jerry Judy last off season because his EA Sports

(40:03):
rating was too low. Hold on Earth, See this is
how i'd be a coach. Yeah, now, I'm just saying
what you know as a coach, it's only a TV show.
It's not only their video game ratings that have factored
into their personnel decisions. Aaron Rodgers was urging patients when
the owner wanted to make a hasty move this season,

(40:23):
like firing Rogers solid. I don't know if that's Sue
or not, but whatever, we're gonna believe one. We should
consider all of them here. Yeah, the seventeen year old
what's his name?

Speaker 10 (40:30):
That break looks like Brick.

Speaker 1 (40:32):
Yeah, he's been heavily involved.

Speaker 7 (40:35):
Would be cool for.

Speaker 8 (40:38):
Him, he imagine going to school.

Speaker 5 (40:41):
Hey, what do you guys want to do? What do
you want to do on Sunday?

Speaker 1 (40:43):
See if Madden will accept this trade? And if it doesn't,
Like that's how they're like seeing it.

Speaker 5 (40:49):
It's crazy.

Speaker 1 (40:50):
Yeah, yeah, that's your team. What do you want to say? Uh?

Speaker 11 (40:54):
It just the Jets just never failed to surprise, you
know what I mean. That's that's what I've been dealing with.
My my whole adult life with this team hilarious.

Speaker 8 (41:02):
So I always have you watched the Aaron Rodgers I have.

Speaker 10 (41:05):
I said I saw the trailer, but yeah, I haven't
checked it out.

Speaker 8 (41:08):
Watch it.

Speaker 1 (41:08):
I can't.

Speaker 7 (41:09):
I can't.

Speaker 5 (41:10):
You can watch it.

Speaker 1 (41:12):
He's so cringey everything about it.

Speaker 10 (41:14):
You should have saw the trailer. Then he's in like
Peru with like a tank top.

Speaker 1 (41:17):
Oh I saw someone TikTok where he was like high
on something.

Speaker 11 (41:22):
Like talking about the whole drama with his family and
the all things.

Speaker 5 (41:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (41:27):
So so he's involved in it.

Speaker 8 (41:29):
Yeah, yeah, it's all on him.

Speaker 1 (41:32):
No, but there's a difference if it's on him and
he's involved in it.

Speaker 8 (41:36):
Oh, okay, gotcha.

Speaker 1 (41:37):
Yeah, Like I wonder if he had final cut, which
means he had decisions about what it wouldn't go in
he had to have, does it make him more likable?

Speaker 10 (41:45):
I mean it's I don't know it. It's indifferent to me.

Speaker 11 (41:48):
It's just because it's all the same stuff that we
already kind of know about his family and stuff like that.
So I didn't really take that much out of it.
Then again, it was just a trailer, so I gotta
have it.

Speaker 6 (41:57):
No.

Speaker 1 (41:57):
No, four months ago, I was rooting Aaron Rodgers. So
it's not like I've been. I was like, let's go.
He's cringe. Everything about is cringe.

Speaker 6 (42:05):
Now.

Speaker 8 (42:06):
The timing of this release is just not good either.

Speaker 11 (42:08):
But even like that, the stuff on magazine thought that
this was going to be something this season.

Speaker 1 (42:13):
Yeah, true, and he thought the Jets would be better.

Speaker 10 (42:16):
Yeah, better than four wins for sure.

Speaker 1 (42:18):
Yeah, even like the stuff on McAfee. That's happening now where.
But he's also with Ryan Clark and they're like feuding. Yeah,
and Rogers was like, you know, before whatever, all I
want to know before you get into any more feud.
So I know, have you been vaccinated? And it's like
we're still doing vaccine jokes.

Speaker 5 (42:40):
Yeah, that was a long time ago.

Speaker 1 (42:41):
That was literally like two days ago. He was doing
this on MACA. He's like, and if you are, then
you're freaking more on it. Trust nothing, you say, that's
my quarterback, baby, like go to the go to a
different well. But yeah, he he is a douchebag. Yeah,
come a long way, complete flip. If I were like

(43:02):
a member of Congress, you'd be like, he's a flip flobbery.
I was very pro Aaron Rodgers and now he's just
the worst. The Charlotte Hornet, Oh, you'll talk about this,
the PS.

Speaker 5 (43:12):
Five I do whacked, man, Like, I can't believe they
did that.

Speaker 1 (43:15):
Do you guys know the story yet?

Speaker 5 (43:16):
No?

Speaker 7 (43:17):
God.

Speaker 3 (43:17):
So there's a halftime little little presentation where Santa comes
up and the Charlotte Hornets like, give a kid a
PS five.

Speaker 5 (43:24):
He wins it. Oh my gosh. Everyone's like, that's so cool.

Speaker 3 (43:27):
And then they walk off and the cameras turn away
and they take the PS five back and they give
him a jersey. And so people are that were there
or saying like no, I saw it happen, and even
the kid's uncle is like, no, that's exactly what happened.

Speaker 5 (43:40):
They took the PS five back, we just got a jersey.

Speaker 3 (43:43):
So then the Charlotte Hornet Charlotte Hornets are like, look,
I'm sorry, we apologize.

Speaker 5 (43:47):
We made it right though.

Speaker 3 (43:48):
We gave him a real PS five and now he
has like, you know, season tickets or whatever.

Speaker 1 (43:52):
Yeah, we'd pr yeah, move what they take.

Speaker 9 (43:55):
A PS five from the locker room or something.

Speaker 1 (43:57):
I don't yeah, don't know, but yeah they got everybody
else had their kids back, though.

Speaker 5 (44:02):
There was no explanation of why they even did that.

Speaker 3 (44:05):
It's almost like what movie was that with Will Ferrell
where the semimi like a million dollars for a half
court so everyone shows up, we don't have a million dollars, like,
I'll never make it.

Speaker 5 (44:19):
It makes it? Do you guys?

Speaker 1 (44:21):
Do the Bulls version of that where the guy made
the shot. It was over half with maybe three quarter
shot and he signed up and he hits it and
he wins. I think it's a million dollars.

Speaker 5 (44:31):
Maybe I'm mixing the two.

Speaker 1 (44:32):
But in the fine print it said you could have
never had some sort of like professional and he played
like some weird for like a year and they never
gave him the money.

Speaker 7 (44:40):
That's so stupid, and so.

Speaker 1 (44:42):
Like people like Jordan got involved. It's pretty interesting.

Speaker 5 (44:47):
There may be a thirty might have been in the
last Dance.

Speaker 1 (44:51):
No, I think I watched whatever. Whatever I watched defended
the clips on TikTok for the whole series. But yeah,
I know he it's the shot. The whole team's going crazy,
George's jumping on. I'm like, yeah, he thought he just
won whatever it was, thousand million bucks and they never
gave it to him or at least they didn't then
now name road ended, Yeah I don't remember. Okay, let's

(45:12):
go to our talk with former NFL linebacker Jalen Smith.
Jalen was a consensusul American Notre Dame projected top three
draft pick. He blew out his knee in a bowl
game against Ohio State. Drafted by the Cowboys in the
second round twenty sixteen. Awesome career, you can still tell
by this interview, especially he still loves Notre Dame already
thinks they're going to be Indiana moving on to the
next which is pretty funny. And then I called him

(45:34):
on He's like, no, that's not what I meant. So yeah,
pretty cool here he is, Jalen Smith. Super cool to
have Jalen Smith on. Hey Jayleen, just a warning, one
of my guys here is a massive, die hard, lifelong
Dallas Cowboys fan. So if he hits you with like
a whole lot of Cowboys questions, like I just say,
because I'm gonna ask you like some Notre Dame college

(45:55):
football playoff, But he's such a Cowboys fan. I'd just
like to preface that with going, sorry.

Speaker 12 (46:02):
Hey you if you if you're diehard Cowboys fan, it's
it gets real all year round.

Speaker 10 (46:08):
Yeah, I got it.

Speaker 7 (46:09):
Let's just start with that.

Speaker 1 (46:10):
Okay, so this is my friend Eddie. Eddie lead us
off with the goo Dallas Cowboys question.

Speaker 5 (46:14):
All right, come on, what's out, Jalen, what's going on?
Brother dude?

Speaker 3 (46:18):
My first question is like, I mean, obviously I love
the Cowboys. My whole family loves the Cowboys. But what
does the rest of the country think about us when
you go play other places as a Dallas Cowboy?

Speaker 10 (46:30):
Do they just hate us?

Speaker 5 (46:31):
Or do they love us?

Speaker 12 (46:34):
I will say that if you're a Dallas Cowboy, it's
like there's no in between. It's either you love, absolutely
love the Dallas Cowboys or you hate everything about what
Jerry Jones has going on and being a Cowboys for life.

(46:55):
I understand the magnitude or the significant when we talk
about America's team. The whole America's Team thing is very real,
it's very true, and it's not going to change.

Speaker 1 (47:09):
So how do you feel in an adult man says
we but like, Eddie's not on the team, but you
actually played for them for years, Like, yeah, how do
you feel like that?

Speaker 12 (47:17):
I don't mind it, because, like I said, I understand
the importance of what the Dallas Cowboys has done for
the sport. It's a global entity and there's nothing short
of it. It's the reason why I still live in
Dallas to this day.

Speaker 1 (47:38):
I want to talk about when you were drafted, because
I mean, you were on the CUSP, but I think
you were drafted thirty fourth overall, which was like one
of the first couple picks in the second day. Going
into the draft, were you feeling where did you feel
you could go at? From what pick to what pick?
Were they telling you? And then when it was the
Cowboys at that thirty fourth pick, like, how did that feel?

Speaker 4 (47:58):
So prior to my jury, I was going to be
a top three pick.

Speaker 12 (48:03):
So having that injury in the bowl game, the Fiesta Bowl,
kind of shifted the narrative for really for all of
college sports, like created the Jalen Smith rule of people
being allowed to send out of bowl games because of
risk of injury. If you look at my draft stock

(48:23):
and where I was going, what I accomplished in college,
and you know what I was prepping to do at
the next level. So prior to the NFL Draft, you know,
like the first rounders get the invite to go to
wherever they're hosting the draft and all of these different things.
For US players that have been watching the draft for

(48:45):
a long time growing up, it's always a dream when
you know you're going to be a first round pick
to go to to draft night. I got some extreme detail,
an insight really from a legendary guy by the name
of Gil gil Brandt who told me that I wasn't

(49:10):
going to be drafted on Day one, so have an
opportunity to spend time at home really allowed me to
manage my emotions, manage my ego, and all of these
different things. Now, I wasn't expected. I wasn't expecting to
be the third pick in the second draft, in the

(49:31):
second round. So when I was like, as soon as
I got to my draft party, within ten minutes, my
number was called and it was a two on four
number Dallas, Texas. Mind you, at the time, my older brother,
Ron Smith was playing on the Dallas Cowboys. He just
finished his rookie year. Our father is a diehard Dallas

(49:55):
Cowboys fan. So when I seen that area code, it
was just blessing because I knew I was going to
get an opportunity to not only play with my brother
for the first time because he went to Ohio State
and I'm a Notre Dame guy, but being able to
play for our dad's favorite team is definitely a family
dream come true.

Speaker 1 (50:15):
How cold is it put the uniform on, in the
helmet on for the very first time.

Speaker 12 (50:19):
Nothing like it. Nothing like it because you understand the
value that comes with it. You understand going into it,
the degree of stardom or celebrity or you know, just
having an opportunity to wear that uniform.

Speaker 4 (50:39):
It means a lot for sure.

Speaker 1 (50:40):
So growing up in Fort Wayne, Indiana, which I've been
to Fort Wayne a bunch of times. Live what a
couple hours in Fort Wayne now, like our radio shows
in Fort Wayne have toured through for I have been there.
It's cold, that's my point. Like it's a cold place.
It's like colder than where we live all the time.
Fort Wayne's cold. Now when you decide to go to
Notre Dame to meet obviously Notre Dame, one of the
blue bloods in football, it's also very cold. I have

(51:02):
a friend that played a Notre Dame Golden tate and
I asked him. I was like, man, that's a whole
different world. Like it's cold and I gotta imagine when
you get up there, some of these guys that come
from Texas, Florida and they come up to Notre Dame,
like it's like an introduction to new elements in the weather.

Speaker 7 (51:19):
Right to play.

Speaker 4 (51:19):
Football in absolutely because.

Speaker 12 (51:24):
Father time is undefeated and you don't know, you know
what what our father is going to put us through
when it comes weatherwise, you can't control it. And it's
really that second semester after the season when you got
to go back on campus. There's no football being played.
There's no uh, there's no there's no training or practice.

(51:47):
That's and that that's happening. And you got to walk
through negative ten degree weather to get to your to
your arts class, to your Portuguese class, two years your
finance or trigonometry class. It's not a fun thing when
the windshield is in your face and your you feel

(52:09):
like your lips are frozen. But I will say, man,
we play some we play some great football at Notre Dame,
and it's it's a rich tradition. It's a global entity.
It's like the Dallas Cowboys, Notre Dame, the New York Yankees,
like those institutes are in a whole different class so

(52:33):
it's a lot of appreciation for it, but there's a
lot of.

Speaker 4 (52:36):
My teammates who come from down South and boy, they
hate it.

Speaker 1 (52:43):
Well, if someone comes to you now and says he
they're a seventeen eight year old kid for a five
star recruit. Coach Framan's recruiting them, and they're like Jalen,
like like, what's the one reason let's take an al
out of it. Well, like, what's the one reason about
Notre Dame that that would make me want to go
and stay and be fighting Irish.

Speaker 12 (53:01):
It's so it's so deeper than just getting the opportunity
to play the game that you love at the next level.
It's about the relationships that you create that last a
long time, lasts for the next forty years rather than
just four years. It's not just about a college education.

(53:23):
It's about the network that you're being aligned with. And
in any city, any state, any country that you live
or go into, someone knows about Notre Dame. I was
in South Africa a few years ago and walking down
the street and somebody had a Notre Dame hat on.
So that's the biggest that's the biggest thing, that's the

(53:45):
biggest benefit it's a real it's a real people's university.
And the alumni we take it, we don't take it lightly.
How we understand the importance of togetherness. That's what I
love about Notre Dame. I'm an hour and a half.
I'm born and raised in Fort Wayne, Indiana, so an
hour and a half from Notre Dame. And I'm a

(54:09):
mama's boy. So I didn't want to go away from
home for college. You know, I wanted to be close by.
Like I said, my brother and my older brother played
at Ohio State, so I was able to take my
own path.

Speaker 4 (54:21):
But she was a Notre Dame.

Speaker 7 (54:24):
And I love it.

Speaker 4 (54:25):
I can't wait to be there Friday.

Speaker 1 (54:27):
Yeah, so let's talk about that. Because I'm a big
coach Freeman guy. Just like i'd play for I suck.
I would never make the team, but I would like
whatever he wants. Like you didn't, no, I would say
right now, I'd be like, I'm in whatever you want
me to do, Coach. I'll be a wedgebuster right now
and I will die right now. And so what has
Coach Freeman done? Like, what's the for that culture at

(54:47):
Notre Dame.

Speaker 12 (54:48):
I think he's he sparked the urgency for greatness, and
that's what us alumni we see, we feel. You know,
I've had a great opportunity to form a relationship with
the Witch coach Freeman, which goes a few years back now, Marcus.

(55:12):
He was actually a GA at Ohio State while my
brother was playing there, So as I was getting recruited,
getting a chance to meet him and understand his journey,
I got a great appreciation for Coach Freeman. Can't wait
to see these guys on Friday. We're going to get
the job done. It's the Battle of Indiana. And believe

(55:34):
we haven't played the Hoosiers since nineteen ninety one or
nineteen ninety five, something like that, so we're gonna I'm
looking forward to to putting it on them.

Speaker 1 (55:45):
What do you think about Notre Dame being independent still?
You feel like there's a need for them to hop
in a conference or you all good at them scheduling everything?

Speaker 12 (55:52):
No, never, And the reason why is because we're the
University of Notre Dame and you can't tell us that
we can't go play our arch rival team, which is
the University of Southern California. You can't tell us that
we can't play Stanford. The benefits of Notre Dame is

(56:15):
we play all across the country each year, and I
never want that to change. Bottom line is we got
we can only afford to lose one game a year.
We understand that, we know that, and we're looking forward
to to our first ever college football playoff home game.

(56:38):
So South Bend is going to be rocking. I actually
I'm actually opening up a Japanese ramen cruisine called Genia
Ramen Bar right across the street from Notre Dame. So
it's opening up in quarter one of next year. So
we're looking forward to being a part of the Notre

(56:58):
Dame community and and giving back. And it's just great
for for the opportunity to be a part of the
Notre Dame fighting iverage.

Speaker 1 (57:09):
I gotta feel you feel pretty good about the draw
just looking through, I feel like Notre Dame obviously you'd
love to have a buye, but you're not going to
get one because you didn't want a conference right, and
those rules should probably change. I think they, and I
think they will. Just giving them the conference winners is
not good because it's not the four best teams. But yeah,
you guys will never get that buy and I think
that is a bit unfortunate because if you guys are

(57:30):
the number one team in the country next year the
year after, you deserve to have that buy But how
do you feel about the draw and and your side
of the bracket there.

Speaker 4 (57:38):
I think the buye is I think it's necessary.

Speaker 12 (57:42):
I think Notre Dame should qualify for that buye only
if we go undefeated, because we're not in the conference.

Speaker 4 (57:52):
But I like our chances, I really do. We we
got to take care of home base first, which which
is in.

Speaker 12 (58:02):
Notre Dame, Indiana, South ben Indiana versus the Indiana Hoosiers,
who they are.

Speaker 4 (58:08):
They've had an amazing season.

Speaker 12 (58:11):
Great appreciation myself being from the Hoosier State, great appreciation.
But Indiana, the Indiana University is about basketball. When you
talk about football in Indiana, there's one place that you
talk about, and that is the University of Notre Dame.

Speaker 4 (58:34):
And we're playing in the house that Rockney built, Nuke Rockney.

Speaker 12 (58:39):
If you don't know who I'm talking about, It's going
to be live, it's going to be electric.

Speaker 4 (58:45):
I'm going to be there.

Speaker 12 (58:47):
A lot of our stars and Notre Dame Lennards are
going to be there and we're gonna get the job done,
especially it's a night game as well.

Speaker 4 (58:57):
But then I believe next what we will travel to
to Georgia? Is that correct?

Speaker 7 (59:02):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (59:02):
Yeah, I mean if you're assuming, you're already gonna win,
and I can appreciate that.

Speaker 4 (59:06):
Yeah, you know, no, no, we take no opponent lights. Okay,
speaking bracket, speaking bracket. We go to Georgia next next
week or whenever that game is.

Speaker 6 (59:16):
Is that.

Speaker 4 (59:19):
Can you answer that?

Speaker 1 (59:20):
Yeah, it'll be a bowl game, but in a dome, yes,
so no weather the dome. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I like,
I like I like that.

Speaker 4 (59:27):
You know, we travel well as well, so yeah, for sure.

Speaker 3 (59:32):
Can we go back to the Cowboys for a second.
You got three in a row and we got dayling here,
we got three day real quick? So, uh the light
you know the building, it's three o'clock and that light's
coming in. Everyone's like, oh man, they missed that pass
because of the light. How bad is that light coming
in through the windows?

Speaker 4 (59:46):
Yeah, okay, sun So I played in Dallas for five
and a half years and the lighting is real. It's real.
It's real. The CD isn't lying U.

Speaker 12 (01:00:01):
We know he should have he would have caught the ball,
should have caught the ball, all of these different things.

Speaker 4 (01:00:06):
The lighting is real. However, Jerry Jones is a.

Speaker 12 (01:00:11):
Extremely successful businessman and he has non negotiables and that's
one of them.

Speaker 3 (01:00:21):
Yeah, speaking of speaking of Jerry, you know, you hear
the players once they leave and say talk about how oh,
it's such a circus. You know there's people everywhere to
watching our pregame warm ups.

Speaker 5 (01:00:31):
Is that accurate? Like everywhere you go there are just
people watching you.

Speaker 12 (01:00:36):
That's accurate. I wouldn't call it a circus in a
negative way. I think it's for it's for certain people, sir.
A lot of people can't handle it. I don't know
if it was because I was drafted into it and
I appreciate it so much, or.

Speaker 4 (01:00:56):
If because I had a lot.

Speaker 12 (01:00:58):
Of experience playing at a a program and an institute
like Notre Dame, which every week there's visibility, there's extreme visibility,
which is another reason why there's Notre Dame fans across
the globe.

Speaker 4 (01:01:15):
Same thing for the Dallas Cowboys.

Speaker 12 (01:01:17):
So being a part of the least two rich entities,
you know, I was able to understand and appreciate the
limelight and me being a competitor. I operate, I operate
so much better under pressure. So that's really my take
on the whole Dallas Cowboy being a circus thing.

Speaker 3 (01:01:42):
Okay, last question, last question, So will you give us
a little bit of encouragement going into the future because
this has been a tough year for us? And my
take too, Jalen, is that, like you know, Dallas Cowboy fans,
we've complained about, oh, we choking the playoffs and we suck,
we suck, you.

Speaker 5 (01:01:59):
Know, but in reality we haven't.

Speaker 3 (01:02:02):
This year, we're finally realizing what that means, like we
are not going to make the playoffs.

Speaker 5 (01:02:09):
It's a bad season.

Speaker 3 (01:02:11):
So can you give us a little bit of encouragement
going in the future, Like what do we need to
do to go win that Super Bowl?

Speaker 4 (01:02:18):
I believe, man, I believe that.

Speaker 12 (01:02:24):
It's all about one accounts, it's all about when it counts.
I think Cowboys, we have proven that we can have
success in the regular season, but for some reason it
hasn't been able to translate.

Speaker 4 (01:02:40):
And I don't know if that's a personnel thing, if
that's a.

Speaker 12 (01:02:47):
The way in which we attack the playoff games. I'm
not sure exactly what it's gonna take. I do know
that Cherry really does want to win. He really does.
He really does. I firmly believe that he wants to
win again. But yeah, sometimes you got a plateau. And

(01:03:14):
I know, losing dan Quinn that was that.

Speaker 4 (01:03:17):
That was tough. That was tough. And then I mean,
injury availability.

Speaker 12 (01:03:24):
Matters tremendously, and you know, when you lose your starting quarterback,
it puts.

Speaker 4 (01:03:32):
The odds against you.

Speaker 12 (01:03:34):
Even though I love Cooper Rush, we were in the
same draft class, that's my brother. But yeah, I think
that I think that the Cowboys fans deserve deserve it.
It's been a long time.

Speaker 1 (01:03:49):
So two questions left, like how are you feeling?

Speaker 7 (01:03:53):
Like, what's up?

Speaker 1 (01:03:54):
Let's go. You're getting back in.

Speaker 7 (01:03:55):
Let's get it.

Speaker 5 (01:03:55):
Yeah, let's go.

Speaker 4 (01:03:58):
Jared needs to bring me back. Yeah, right, I can come.
I can come and dominate with with the with the
hot shot talent, uh, the Mario oversha and I love it.
That's my little brother. I love his game.

Speaker 12 (01:04:11):
I would I would love to come rock out with
him and we can go out the right way. I
can retire a Cowboy. H I'm I'm ready to go.

Speaker 1 (01:04:21):
You're healthy, like you're just waiting for a call from
from somebody to do something.

Speaker 4 (01:04:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 12 (01:04:27):
Man, year nine, I'm healthy, I'm I'm ready. I'm staying ready,
in shape, and ready to go.

Speaker 4 (01:04:36):
God's timing, you know.

Speaker 12 (01:04:38):
Outside of that, I'm the serial entrepreneur, athlete, entrepreneur, I'm
heavy in the business field.

Speaker 4 (01:04:45):
And then I'm I'm I'm being a girl dad right now.

Speaker 12 (01:04:48):
Man, I got my I got six month old, my my,
my first time being a father. So you know, there's
always work to be done.

Speaker 1 (01:04:57):
Tell me about Jalen Smith, emmy, I because I was
ready about it. You talking about being an entrepreneur.

Speaker 8 (01:05:01):
I mean this is that?

Speaker 1 (01:05:02):
What are you doing over there? Yes?

Speaker 4 (01:05:05):
Yes, so MEI is all about investing.

Speaker 12 (01:05:10):
It's all about helping close the economic and educational gap
that exists in this world today. So I founded MAI
to help provide financial funding, mentorship, and also you know,
helping with entrepreneurs putting together strategic execution plans.

Speaker 4 (01:05:32):
So investing in black and brown and Latin X companies.

Speaker 12 (01:05:36):
We've invested at one point four million dollars into thirteen
different companies over the past four years and opened up
marketplaces to be able to you know, invest in people
who have tremendous ideas for lack of resources. There's something
that's dear to my heart, my purpose beyond athletics to
help close the economic and educational gap.

Speaker 4 (01:05:58):
Started my own.

Speaker 12 (01:06:01):
Life insurance agency recently to help educate and protect families
as well. So there's a lot of different things that
I got going on. Like I said, I have a
huge purpose beyond athletics, but you know, I make sure
I'm up in the mornings getting my work in to
stay ready too.

Speaker 1 (01:07:54):
A couple things before we jump out of here. Connor
McGregor says, you may fight Logan Paul in India. Okay,
if you're Conor McGregor or anybody else that's a fighter,
you want to fight Logan Pol anywhere because you will
make so much money, and Logan Pol make a bunch
of money. I think I'm just kind of getting over
the Logan Pol thing now, and Connor McGregor's already done that.
I'm going to box for a bunch of money as

(01:08:14):
a sideshow type thing.

Speaker 5 (01:08:15):
Floyd Mayweather, Yeah, so it was a disaster.

Speaker 1 (01:08:17):
This one doesn't really interest me that much. I would
be interested if it were Mike Vick you talking about earlier,
like somebody like that, versus Logan Pole like that would
interest me. Logan Pol's not a box I mean fixed
on a boxer. People are like Logan Pol's not as
good as a boxer as you think, So why he
keeps fighting chumps? The one boxer he did fight he
lost my Logan or j Logan, But you're thinking Jake,

(01:08:41):
But Logan fights too, doesn't get wrestles and stuff. But
I want to fight either one of the polls?

Speaker 5 (01:08:46):
What because because Jake is like real mma though.

Speaker 1 (01:08:50):
I'm talking about boxing. Let me see Connor McGregor announces
in a boxing exhibition. Yeah but Logan Paul, But does
it matter? Aren't it the same thing? Like now the
one of the really boxers and they both make a
much money to fight him.

Speaker 8 (01:09:04):
I feel like like Logan is a little more legit.

Speaker 1 (01:09:07):
Okay, then I don't know enough about who's legit of
the Paul.

Speaker 7 (01:09:09):
Jake feels full of chumped to me, But Logan I
feels more legit.

Speaker 5 (01:09:12):
Logan was the one spraying all the perfume, not the match.

Speaker 1 (01:09:16):
Jake spot the last one.

Speaker 8 (01:09:17):
Yeah, Jake is tyson.

Speaker 1 (01:09:19):
I need to be educated on this thing because I'm again,
I know the differences. And he's awesome, and he's good.
He's awesome. He's a great wrestler. Yeah, yeah, he's like legitimate.
It's not even like looks weird, Like he's somebody that's
trying that really isn't like back in the day, like
Mike Tyson tried to wrestle, or any Karl Malone wrestled
and you're like, oh, they're athletes, but they're not real. No,

(01:09:41):
Logan Paulo is like a real wrestler.

Speaker 8 (01:09:42):
Yeah, he's a big dude. He's good.

Speaker 1 (01:09:43):
But when you want to fight Jake or Logan and
make you ten million bucks in the end.

Speaker 8 (01:09:49):
Yeah, I guess, yeah, why wouldn't you?

Speaker 5 (01:09:51):
But for us, like I don't want to watch that.

Speaker 1 (01:09:53):
I don't want to watch I'm saying Connor McGregor doesn't
interest me at all.

Speaker 3 (01:09:56):
Really, if he came back and fight UFC, that wouldn't
be interesting. That would be interested in Yeah me, but
you're not in the boxing exhibitions. We've already seen the
boxing side show where he's like, I'm going to be
a boxer and then Midweather just slaps him around and wins.

Speaker 5 (01:10:07):
And then he like kicks. He's like, I'm sorry, I'm sorry,
I'm just used to kicking, Like and it's too.

Speaker 8 (01:10:10):
Close to the Tyson Jake Pole fight.

Speaker 1 (01:10:13):
We're still we're still like thinking about that, Like I
think I might have thought of the same person.

Speaker 8 (01:10:17):
Yeah, I mean that's fair boxing.

Speaker 3 (01:10:19):
You think they're the same person until you see him
side aside and they're like, oh no, you're not the same.

Speaker 7 (01:10:22):
You're very good.

Speaker 1 (01:10:23):
Most twins though, too, I'm like, they look exactly the
same they stand by, I'm like, oh, I can definitely
see that they're like exactly the same. But yes, yes,
which one's older?

Speaker 9 (01:10:31):
I think Loganah, Logan's older, but a little shorter, taller
and taller.

Speaker 8 (01:10:36):
I think it's Taller's tall?

Speaker 1 (01:10:37):
Yeah, is Jake thicker? Yes, Jake looks okay, he's monsters
a big dude. Anyway, I don't care. I'd want to
see out the one in the fight somebody that I'm
interested in seeing that person fight like an athlete, like
an ex athlete from another sport. But that is like
awes It's like an awesome version of it. But like,

(01:10:58):
who would be the greatest athlete right now? It's retired
or even still play?

Speaker 7 (01:11:02):
No get killed?

Speaker 5 (01:11:03):
Yeah no, no, you wouldn't that crazy.

Speaker 7 (01:11:11):
Not as CARDI.

Speaker 1 (01:11:12):
It wouldn't be good to know. But like sha Shaq
and Gronk are going to box.

Speaker 8 (01:11:16):
Oh yeah, they were talking about that as they said
they wanted.

Speaker 1 (01:11:21):
I would be interested in.

Speaker 9 (01:11:22):
That big old like the socket things, big gloves.

Speaker 7 (01:11:28):
That Paul. I guess.

Speaker 1 (01:11:29):
I know they're two different people, but I think they're
the same person.

Speaker 8 (01:11:32):
Yeah, it took me a minute to realize. I was like, wait,
that's not.

Speaker 1 (01:11:35):
About Conor Record. That's the whole point of that story.
I give no craps about Connor.

Speaker 5 (01:11:38):
I love him.

Speaker 1 (01:11:39):
NFL needs to chill out when it comes to flexing
these games so late. Because let's say you have a son,
you're going to a game on Sunday. For example, Kevin
dad came down to the Titans game. You guys went Patriots. Yeah,
that's on Sunday, but like a week before the like,
we're flexing the game, moving that game to a Thursday.
But Kevin's dad has plans to come down on Saturday
for the Sunday game from Massachusetts. H. Well, now you're screwed.

(01:12:01):
You can't go to the game because they just moved
the whole night of the game. Yeah, and that is
becoming an issue with fans because they have tickets if
they're going to come from out of state, other city.

Speaker 3 (01:12:11):
Job.

Speaker 5 (01:12:11):
I didn't realize they've done that, so they.

Speaker 1 (01:12:14):
Voted last year to change flex scheduling procedures, and they're
putting to effect this season. The tonight's matchup was supposed
to last night, I guess last night because it was
supposed to be Browns and Bengals, but they switched to
Broncos and Chargers.

Speaker 5 (01:12:26):
WHOA, that's crazy.

Speaker 8 (01:12:29):
And even the Patriots game next week I believe got
flexed from Sunday to Saturday. So like, there's a lot
of these going.

Speaker 1 (01:12:34):
On, and most of the flexing happens after they know
who's good and who's not. You see a lot of
flexing the first half of the season if they're still
feeling out right who sucks and who doesn't. But now
they know and they know what the implications are these
games and where the ratings are probably going to fall.

Speaker 8 (01:12:47):
Yeah, but they used to do it like from Sunday
afternoon to Sunday night primetime, which is fine.

Speaker 1 (01:12:52):
Yes, I know, probably yes, they in the same day.
They would change, just change the time of the game. Yeah, yeah,
that's okay, but yeah, Thursday stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:12:59):
And then what about those posters that they hang at
bars man with the whole schedule that all changes too.

Speaker 10 (01:13:04):
You actually, the change and.

Speaker 1 (01:13:07):
What about the great point?

Speaker 5 (01:13:10):
Did not that whole schedule up there and now you
can change it on me.

Speaker 1 (01:13:13):
Not factor into my thoughts. But that's a great point.
That's so stupid. Yeah, uh, let's do CFP real quick.
Who has the best chance to upset Indiana Notre Dame? Say,
if you think, uh, this is the game, you think
the upside is Notre Dame's favorite.

Speaker 5 (01:13:29):
I think that can happen.

Speaker 1 (01:13:30):
Okay, we're not saying it will happen with that one.

Speaker 5 (01:13:32):
That can happen.

Speaker 1 (01:13:33):
You think Indiana can be Notre Dame?

Speaker 7 (01:13:34):
Okay?

Speaker 1 (01:13:35):
SMU at Penn State, well penstay, I know they lost,
but they look really good against Oregon clembs into Texas.

Speaker 10 (01:13:44):
Yeah this game me too. This game me too, little
damn bo magic.

Speaker 5 (01:13:48):
Sorry, but the.

Speaker 1 (01:13:49):
Tennessee I say too. That one that was legitimate too.

Speaker 8 (01:13:52):
Yeah, I think that one.

Speaker 1 (01:13:53):
I'm surprised to spreads over a touchdown.

Speaker 8 (01:13:55):
Me too.

Speaker 1 (01:13:57):
But I think I hate Clemson lesson that its centerment
for Clemson. The problem is Texas is SEC, and I
always root for the SEC. But Texas isn't the SEC.

Speaker 8 (01:14:07):
Oh yeah, just no, how many years.

Speaker 1 (01:14:12):
I think they'll be officially SEC positive never worry first, God,
I hate him and I don't like Clemson. I don't
want Clemson to win either, but I'm going Clemson if
I have to pick one of those Saturday games. So
tomorrow Texas and Chiefs, that'd be good. Chiefs three and

(01:14:33):
a half point favorites. That's it. I guess it's because
they don't know if Mahome is gonna play or not,
although he's been a full participant in practice.

Speaker 8 (01:14:38):
But I think that the Texans opened what Texans opened
as favorites, and that as the week's gone on. Oh
so that just means to me that Mahomes is playing.

Speaker 1 (01:14:48):
Uh yeah, the Texans just haven't been as hot.

Speaker 8 (01:14:51):
Oh yeah, they don't look nearly as good as we thought.

Speaker 1 (01:14:54):
Ravens in Baltimore against the Steelers, Ravens six and a
half point favorite. Surprise, it's almost a touchdown there.

Speaker 4 (01:15:00):
And they lost to him.

Speaker 10 (01:15:00):
That's high.

Speaker 1 (01:15:01):
Yeah, even though it is in Baltimore, I'm still surprised.
In the Sunday games, Giants and Falcons. The interesting game,
but think about that is Penick will be playing quarterback
for the first time. Lions at Bears. Do the Lions
even need eleven people in defense. Nah, I mean at
this point they don't have but they barely have eleven. Man,
maybe they can play seven against eleven other Bears and
like even it out a little bit because they shouldn't.

(01:15:23):
But the Lions have lost a lot.

Speaker 10 (01:15:25):
Yeah, how bad for him.

Speaker 1 (01:15:27):
Browns at Bengals Bengals seven half point favorite. Bengals can't
stop anybody. But who's starting quarterback for the Browns?

Speaker 10 (01:15:34):
I think they're gotta go back to Jamis.

Speaker 1 (01:15:36):
You do think they are? Or they should?

Speaker 10 (01:15:39):
I mean, what was that DTR guy? He did not
look that good, So I think I'd take my chances
with Jamis.

Speaker 1 (01:15:44):
Titans at Colts. Colts are in half point favorite Indy.

Speaker 5 (01:15:48):
As long as Taylor just holes onto the ball.

Speaker 1 (01:15:51):
Dude, what adult does that? I don't know what adult
does that. Don't know what adult. Let's go to the ball.
What professional adults plays Footballlet's go the ball.

Speaker 5 (01:16:00):
It's silly.

Speaker 1 (01:16:01):
Rams three point favorite the Jets, Rams U. Rams may
make a run. They may make a real run.

Speaker 10 (01:16:06):
Rams.

Speaker 1 (01:16:07):
You know I love Stafford anyway, They may make a
real run. Eagles three and a half point favorites at
Commanders Eddie Show. Want the Eagles win that one. On
zero point five.

Speaker 5 (01:16:17):
We want commanders just lose it all.

Speaker 1 (01:16:19):
All. I want commanders to lose it all because I
have five hundred bucks on bow next to win. Rookie
of the Year is like six thousand dollars and he's
not the favorite. I think he was like plus two
to fifty when I looked, he was second overall. I
just need the Commanders to fall off.

Speaker 10 (01:16:32):
Ja.

Speaker 7 (01:16:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:16:35):
Cardinals five point favorite of the Panthers. Vikings three point
favorite of the Seahawks. Vikings just keep winning. Patriots at
the Bills. The Bills are fourteen point favorite.

Speaker 9 (01:16:45):
Murder.

Speaker 1 (01:16:45):
Bills are just on fire. Forty nine Ers at Dolphins.
Dolphins a one point favorite in Miami. But what does
they say about the forty nine ers? What's said about
the dolphin? Because four hits have nothing, right, they have nothing. Yeah,
and then the Bucks the Cowboys to a four point
favorite in Dallas.

Speaker 5 (01:17:01):
That's the game of the week.

Speaker 1 (01:17:03):
That's a game this week, game on Saturday, game this week.
